Nothing like a couple of earthquakes to put certain facts of life in exquisite detail, like you can have the best electric power generator in the world, but it isn't going to work if you don't have any gasoline.
I don't have the best generator in the world, but I've got a pretty good one, a big yellow bugger capable of running a moderate-size amusement park. It has been generally credited with ending the 40 days of rain we had last winter in Hawaii. The rain seemed like it'd never stop, even after a number of flash floods and landslides (including the one that nearly flattened my house). We were running sump pumps day and night to keep the house from being washed away, and they were doing great.
My epiphany during the pouring rain, while my sump pumps were bravely pumping water away from the house like the heroic little soldiers they were, was that if the power went out, as it is apt to do in Hawaii with annoying regularity, my house would either mimic that fine craft constructed by Noah and depart for higher ground, or fill up like an aquarium.
I raced around to hardware stores and home-supply outlets trying to find a generator, but apparently a lot of people were having the same epiphany -- it was a mass epiphany, if you will -- and most of the generators had been scooped up. I finally found one in an auto parts store and bought it at a bargain-basement price (if your bargain basement has only one generator left) of several hundred dollars and installed it in my garage ready for anything God, nature or the Hawaiian Electric Co. could throw at me. That's when my epiphany morphed into a miracle, actually two miracles.
The first miracle was that the rain suddenly stopped, the clouds parted, sunshine splashed its happy countenance across the islands while birds sang and vestal virgins (the best kind) held hands and danced in the meadows. The simple purchase of a generator capable of running a moderate-size amusement park was all it took to convince Thor and the other gods and demigods of inclement weather to withdraw.
The second miracle was that my brand-new generator suddenly morphed into a coffee table. That's because it suddenly was the most expensive household item on the premises, and there was no way I was going to leave it out in the garage to rust and sulk. I moved it into the house, put a nice piece of plywood on it and began to consider it as a very expensive, though ugly, kind of table.
So, peace, order and acceptable amounts of moisture were restored to the realm thanks to my generator, which technically was a vestal virgin, never having been called to duty.
And all was well until last week when I was sitting where I am now, my fingers dancing across this exact computer keyboard when the world began to rumble and shake. Forget what the authorities say about the duration of the initial earthquake being 15 to 30 seconds. I was there. It went on for a good 45 minutes, during which visions of apocalypse, falling soufflés, collapsed sand castles, frightened vestal virgins and a concerned stare by my dog Boomer raced through my mind.
With the grace, dignity and stoicism of a deranged chicken, I ran around on the driveway, calmly alerting my neighbors that the sky was falling. Then the power went off. I regained what little composure I had lost, turned on my truck radio and learned that the entire state had no electricity and that would apparently be the case for days to come. Worried? Not I. For I had a generator capable of running a moderate-size amusement park. I would be keeping my frozen foods frozen, zapping popcorn in the microwave and watching DVDs on the TV while my unfortunate generator-less neighbors suffered. I pitied them for their lack of epiphanies.
It was about then I realized I had no gasoline to actually run my generator and that all the gas stations on the island were unable to pump gas without power. After shaking my fist at the heavens, I met up with some friends who also had generators with no gas, and we helped each other siphon gas out of each other's vehicles.
Once we all had enough gas to assure our pork chops would never thaw, we sat back with a few beers and toasted our farsightedness. Shortly thereafter, power was restored, gas became plentiful and my still-vestal virgin generator reverted to its role as a piece of household furniture.

Does moving to a design-infused culture mean that outside agency support is no longer valuable? What need does an outside viewpoint fill for design-led organizations? Or are agencies shifting to being an acqui-hire talent pool?
Those are just a few of the questions being addressed at the UX Advantage conference. Jared Spool and Karen McGrane will be your hosts of this unique interview style format where they delve into a series of topics with top design executives. In this podcast, Jared tackles one of those topics, the Role of Outsiders.
Sean Quinn: Hi, everybody. I'm Sean Quinn. Once again, I'm joined by the Co-Executive Producer of the UX Advantage Conference, Jared Spool, who, along with Karen McGrane, has been working on putting together an amazing conference focusing on UX strategy issues no one else is talking about. In this podcast, we're going to dive headlong into one of the UX Advantage topics, the role of outsiders. How are you, Jared?
Jared Spool: I'm fine. Co-Executive Producer?
Sean: Yes, indeed. You have a Co-Executive title slide on this one.
Sean: Let's get started talking about this very interesting topic of the role of outsiders. Outsiders can certainly contribute to the successful output of the in-house team, but what happens when the organization becomes a design-infused culture? Are these so-called outsiders no longer needed?
Jared: I think the way to talk about this is to talk about a little bit of history. User experience came into many organizations. If you think about companies like in the hotel industry, or the airline industry, or insurance, user experience came in in two different ways. One was through internal systems, making sure that data entry clerks were working optimally. Then, in recent years, everybody needed a website. Of course, these businesses that were in industries that weren't technology industries didn't know how to build websites, so they naturally turned to outside organizations to build their websites for them. This started this long tradition of having outside agencies build websites, and applications, and move to phone apps. When everybody started doing mobile, nobody knew how to do mobile. When an insurance company needed a mobile app, they would hire an agency that knew about mobile to do this. A lot of the agencies that did this, because the website was a marketing function and the marketing function was connected to the advertising function, a lot of the agencies that were doing the work were connected to advertising agencies. Ogilvy, and McCann, and all these big advertising agencies were providing website design services. Almost always, they subbed it out to some smaller agency who collaborated with them. There was this ecosystem of clients and agencies all doing this work. The shift that's happened in the last, say, five years almost, six, seven years, maybe, tops, if you go back and look at some of the behaviors, is that organizations began to realize that their website, which contained their registration system, or their account management system, or their reservation system was no longer this thing that they should pay outside agencies to build and maintain, because these things were becoming internal assets. As people stopped booking airline tickets through travel agents, they shifted to online. Now, the customer service was being managed through this online website. The airline industry, and the hotel industry, and the insurance industry, and all these industries realized they need to own this. They need to be the ones who make this the best possible experience. It's cheaper to do it that way. It's more efficient. The RFP process doesn't produce very good results. There's all sorts of flaws in using agencies. The shift was people started bringing this stuff in-house. Of course, as soon as they started bringing it in-house, they realized they needed design expertise. At first, they went out to agencies to get designers. Now, they're realizing that those things are core. Those are key. A great example of this is what's happening at Capital One. Capital One is realizing that they have to reinvent banking. The number of people who show up in bank branches is dropping tremendously. People don't want to do banking from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday and 10:00 to noon on Saturdays. They want to be able to bank whenever they are able to, whenever they're around a machine. They want to do it on apps. They want to do it on websites. They want to have all those things key. Capital One realized, like every other big financial institution and many of the small ones, that they can't use outside people anymore. They decided they were going to hire designers. When they figured out how many designers that they needed to hire to make the best experiences, the number was in the hundreds. They thought really hard about this and went looking around for an agency that already knew how to do this, but instead of hiring the agency, they decided they were going to buy the agency. It turns out they weren't the first ones to buy an agency. Facebook, and Google, and Yahoo had been doing this for a few years. They were the first non-tech company to buy an agency, primarily a UX agency, which was Adaptive Path. A few years earlier, IBM had bought an agency whose name, for the life of me, I can't remember. It was an agency in Austin. It was a small agency. It was run by a guy named Phil Gilbert. IBM turned around and made Phil the General Manager of Design corporate-wide and took the Austin agency and made them into a training and studio operation to oversee design all the way through IBM. There's been other organizations, Facebook hired the designers of Teehan+Lax. They also bought the 70-person studio Hot Studio. Most recently, McKenzie bought an agency in Silicon Valley, one of the oldest ones there. This trend is continuing. What we're seeing is organizations are finding the easiest way to staff is to start with a team that already knows how to work together, and bring them in, and give them challenging projects. Adaptive Path people are basically getting to do the work they've always been doing, but now they have this client. It's a huge client. They have just as many projects as they had before. They are building designs for the reinvention of banking at Capital One.
Sean: In mentioning McKenzie, IBM, Capital One, are these agencies, then, becoming simply an acqui-hire talent pool?
Jared: They are to some extent. It's a very nice thing. There are very few people who run agencies who aren't thinking, "What's my price? What would it mean for us to be part of this bigger organization and have these dedicated projects and dedicated clients?" For the company that's buying them, it's basically you get a ready-made team, a team that already knows how to work together, that already has process, that already knows how to do the type of work. One of the interesting things was that Capital One did not test drive Adaptive Path, which surprised me. If I were Capital One, if I were Scott Zimmer of Capital One, who orchestrated this hire, I might have actually tested it out. This'll be one of the questions I'll ask Scott when he's doing the interview at UX Advantage. I would have test driven them. I would have hired them for a couple of projects, see how they work, see how they work with the team, and then brought them in. I guess they were so sure. Adaptive Path's work is stellar. They were so sure these were the right guys that they just went ahead and brought them in. To some extent, it is an acqui-hire thing, but it's acqui-hire with benefits in that you get this ready-made team that already knows how to work together. If you do it right, you are getting a team that knows how to do the things that you need done.
Sean: Does that mean that outside agency support is no longer valuable or no longer needed? It sounds like it doesn't.
Jared: First, demand is outstripping supply, so I'm not sure everyone's going to get everything built purely with internal folks. There's also this ability that an agency has, and this is what David Baker is going to talk about at UX Advantage. He's the only consultant, actually, that we have on the program. He is a consultant who specializes in giving advice to agencies about how to market and position themselves. He has been doing this for decades. He's been seeing this trend coming. He is absolutely convinced that the agencies are going to change. They have to change what they do. They no longer are just going to be doing these very quick projects for big clients. They may do them for small clients. They're not going to do them for very big clients. There's always going to be a role for agencies. Imagine you're running a chain of cupcake bakeries, and you've got six locations. It's everything you can do to just keep your physical operations, your bakeries, your storefronts, all those things staffed and running. You're not going to get into the web design business, but you definitely need a website. You might even need a phone app so people can order their cupcakes from their desk and then pop over and pick them up. There's money to be made in all that. There are agencies out there who will charge you to do that and produce a great product. Because, chances are, your cupcake bakery isn't changing very much and it's not shifting in any major way, it's going to be a straightforward thing for them to build this app or this website for you and to maintain it over the years. You don't need the staff to do that. If you're the size of Panera or Chipotle, now it makes sense for you to have a team and not to use agencies to build your app. You've got thousands of locations worldwide, and the amortization of those apps and designs across those thousand locations and the upkeep you need for the changing menus, and the local varieties, and all the things that are happening there, those details are details that you want to have control over. There's this issue of scale. At some point, an organization gets big enough that they're going to want to have that talent in-house. Then there are the one-off projects. There's the special things that you're only going to do once. You're doing a particular promotion for, let's say, the Special Olympics, and you're a hotel chain, and you're sponsoring housing for the Special Olympics in LA. You want to put together a special website dedicated to that effort. You probably don't want to dedicate internal resources to that. You'll hire that out because it's a one-shot project. It's not going to need a lot of long-term maintenance and upkeep. It's not going to change. It's not going to need to support a global venue worldwide. It's not going to need to do any of those things. I think agencies will always have a role, but I think they're shifting. I think the types of clients they go after and the nature of the work with those clients is going to change dramatically. I think we're going to see a lot more what I would call 'genius design' where an agency specializes in something, like an agency specializes in applications for cupcake bakeries or an agency specializes in doing restaurants' websites for celebrity chefs. There's probably a lot of money to be made for having the right website there, and it needs to be a top-grade thing. At the same time, the celebrity chef doesn't need to become a web designer, too.
Sean: That seems to parallel the hyper-specialization that we see in medicine, as well. Very interesting topic, indeed, and we'll be sure to be diving much deeper into that at the UX Advantage Conference. Once again, you've given us a lot to think about, Jared, and I want to thank you for your time today.
Jared: I'm very happy to give my time to such a noble cause.
Sean: Excellent. Watch for other podcasts covering more of the conference topics. Be sure to check out the conference speakers and all of the topics at uxadvantage.com. We hope to see you in Baltimore August 18th and 19th. Bye for now.

Global streaming giant Netflix is set to stream its new Korean Netflix Original Film Psychokinesis, a superhero comedy from the director of Train to Busan, Yeon Sang-Ho.
Dubbed as a superhero comedy movie, Psychokinesis is about an ordinary man who accidentally obtains superpowers and uses them to help his daughter and the people around them.
It is the highly anticipated new blockbuster from Yeon, one of Korea's top directors responsible for Train to Busan, a Korean zombie-thriller that saw it success in 2016 with 11.6 million viewers.
Psychokinesis stars A-list Korean actors including Ryu Seung-ryong (Miracle in Cell No. 7) and Shim Eun-kyung (Miss Granny), who were the voice acting leads from Yeon Sang-Ho's previous animated film Seoul Station. The film also stars Park Jung-min (Dongju: The Portrait of a Poet) and Train to Busan star Jung Yu-mi.
Along with Psychokinesis, Steel Rain and The Chase will also be available on Netflix globally as a part of the partnership with Content Panda, an International Business Division of top Korean distributor Next Entertainment World.
Steel Rain focuses on the nuclear threats in the two Koreas where a coup in North Korea forces its leader and his elite guard to come to South Korea.
The Chase is a thriller that features two characters that chase after the suspect of a 30-year old unsolved case.
"We are excited to partner with Next Entertainment World to bring multiple upcoming Korean films including director Yeon Sang-Ho's Psychokinesis to our global members," said Rob Roy, Vice President of Content Acquisition at Netflix.

While every big corporation and bank was getting a bailout during the economic collapse, and while those on welfare were seeing extension after extension of their benefits, this small group of Americans -- who already carry the brunt of the nation's tax burden -- struggled. And they are still struggling to keep their businesses and practices going. They are trying to avoid layoffs. They are cutting every possible expense.
These are the nation's most frustrated workers. Even while they have been balancing the economic viability of their enterprises on their own backs and out of their own pockets, they have had to watch as the bailed-out banks have made fortunes. And yet these same banks continue in their unwillingness and inability to lend money to the so-called "super wealthy" owners of small businesses so that they can keep their companies alive.
Excellent points! Please take time to read the entire article.

LP DUOartepiano2021-10-26T11:08:27+00:00
From 2004 LP Duo (with Sonja Lončar & Andrija Pavlovič) has experimented with the endless possibilities of performing on two pianos, while developing a new approach to contemporary piano music that combines classical elegance, jazz freedom and rock 'n' roll power. LP Duo has since become one of the most succesful duos, erasing the borders between a chamber ensemble and a rock band.
LP Duo started as classical trained musicians, but their research and work on different projects brought them somewhere in between classical and popular music. As solo musicians and piano duo they have won over 30 international awards and have performed all over Europe, America and Asia. LP Duo was announced as one of the eight best piano duos on the Globe at the biggest world competition Miami Dranoff Two pianos, Florida, 2008. They won the Bruno-Frey-Stiftung Musikpreis of the Landesakademie Ochsenhausen in Germany, which is usually awarded only to German citizens.
So far they have performed all over Europe, Asia, and the United States of America. In 2014 they made their debute at the Carnegie Hall in New York, and in 2015 they performed at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC. LP Duo gave premieres of more than 50 contemporary pieces, among which several world premieres. Their discography encompasses seven CDs published by Universal Music Group and Deutsche Grammophon among others. In addition to performing activities LP Duo compose music for theater, film, TV, dance choreography, visual art projects, popular music (alter-ego project called LP Elektro). They are co-founders of the pioneering art & science project Quantum Music (www.quantummusic.org) and inventors of new sound of Duality Hybrid Pianos.
Sonja Lončar is assistant professor of the Faculty of Music Belgrade and Andrija Pavlović is a lecturer at the Faculty of Technical Sciences Novi Sad.

A Pioneer in Education For 83 Years, Doon School Ranked Among Top 100 Franchise Brands
Franchise 100 2019-02-21
Doon School has been ranked the best residential school in India
By Sneha Santra Content Writer
Founded in 1935, Doon School is one of the Top Schools in Dehradun and all across the Country. It is a boys-only boarding school in Dehradun, Uttarakhand. The school specializes in a fully boarding education and has done so consistently and without wavering from this core characteristic.
The greatest strength of the school spring from the quality of the human relationships throughout the community and the sense of companionship that these engender. Doon School has been ranked the best residential school in India, including by BBC, The Times of India and The New York Times. The school's alumnus includes some of India's most prominent politicians, government officials and business leaders. The best-known alumnus is former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.
The Origin of One of the Most Prestigious School
The school's founder, S. R. Das, was educated at Manchester Grammar School, a highly academic and prestigious all-boys' school in England. On his return to India, where he served as the Advocate General of Bengal and a member of the Viceroy's Executive Council of Lord Irwin, he set out to create and establish a school based on the British private boarding school model, but one for Indian boys in India. He wanted them to receive the same educational opportunities he had experienced at Manchester Grammar but without having to leave their home country.
The Doon School was envisioned as a school that would attract boys from all sections of Indian society, and from every state in India, and would be entirely secular.
Franchising the Educational Legacy
Doon's education aimed at Indian boys from throughout India and overseas. It is, therefore, able to inculcate India's rich and diverse history, heritage and tradition in its pupils. Doon Public School wishes to meet the needs of students by providing holistic development. Apart from academics, sports, social work, extracurricular activities are a compulsory part of the school curriculum.
It focuses on producing world-class students. Their initiatives not only help in transforming students but also developing entrepreneurial spirit, innovations and leadership qualities of the students.
The services provided by Doon school are in high demand. Therefore they are franchising their school to provide the unique opportunity to people to build a successful children education business while contributing to the community.
Doon is a rapidly growing brand name and, the success of each associate is guaranteed. And the enlistment of Doon School into the Top 100 Franchise brands in India by India's no.1 Franchising Magazine - The Franchising World, further validates this.

It made it easy for my concept of R to transform from an also-ran to one of my favorite programming ecosystems of all time.

Q: Why can't show the keyCode in console.log? I want to show all keyCodes when you type some characters in the input tag.
ob is the input ,bind a function checkWord with event onkeydown, why console.log can't show its keycode value?

ob = window.document.getElementById("check");
function checkWord(){
    console.log(onkeydown.keyCode);
}
ob.addEventListener("onkeydown",checkWord);

<input id="check" type="text">

I want console.log to show 65  when I type a in the input tag.

A: You have two issues

*

*The event is named keydown.

*keyCode is a property of the event that get's passed to your handler

ob = window.document.getElementById("check");
function checkWord(e){
    console.log(e.keyCode);
}
ob.addEventListener("keydown",checkWord);
<input id="check" />

A: Hmm you can do it like that:

// Getting Element
const textInput = document.getElementById("textInput");
// Adding event listener
textInput.addEventListener("keyup", event => {
  console.log(event.keyCode);
});
<input type="text" id="textInput">

In your code it would look like this:

const ob = document.getElementById("check");
ob.addEventListener("keydown",checkWord);
function checkWord(event){
  console.log(event.keyCode);
}
<input type="text" id="check">

This mainly did not work because you did use the wrong event name (onkeydown -> keydown) and you didn't pass the event to your function.
BTW: onkeydown exists but is used like that:
object.onkeydown = function;

The difference between onkeydown and addEventLisener is that onkeydown is being defined once and with the event listeners you can add as meany to the same event as you want.
// Adds listener
object.onkeydown = function0;
// Overwrites the old listener
object.onkeydown = function1;

// Add listener
object.addEventLisener("keydown", function0);
// Add another listener to the stack
object.addEventLisener("keydown", function1);

In the unending blizzard of anti-Israeli hypocrisy that characterizes proceedings in the United Nations, the latest blood libelous farce of the United Nations Human Rights Council has been under-recognized and largely ignored. To reduce the ignominy of having elected Muamar Qadaffi's Libya chair of the UN Human Rights Commission ten years ago, the United Nations created the Human Rights Council, in which all 193 member-states are frog-marched through a human rights hearing called the Universal Periodic Review. The friends of the Queen-for-a-day state appear, mewing and nodding, and commend them on their performance; unctuous exhortations to make a good record even better are uttered. Thus when Syria appeared, in October 2011, Cuba, North Korea, Iran, (genocidal) Sudan, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Zambia, Algeria, Lebanon, China, Zimbabwe, and pre-reform Myanmar, flocked forth to praise the (quoting Hillary Clinton) "reformer" Bashir Assad and his benign government, already immersed in a bloodbath of its own making. Four days later, in accord with the script of these imbecilic mockeries, Mexico reported on behalf of a tri-power recording secretariat, that 179 recommendations had been made to Syria, and "I have the pleasure of telling you that 98 have been accepted and 26 will be considered." Among those that did not make the cut with the Syrian co-operators were tentative suggestions that it would be in order to "bring attacks on peaceful protesters to an immediate end...to end secret and indefinite-term detention of suspects...and allow journalists freedom of expression." Mexico, on behalf of a grateful world, thanked Syria for its co-operation. The final session on Syria, in March 2012, confirmed the previous resolutions and the bonhomous reception of Syria's compliance, though by that time the number of people who had died in the Syrian national melee had quadrupled to about 11,000. Since this fine send-off from its UPR, the total number of dead in the debacle of human rights-compliant Syria has more than quintupled, to about 60,000.
If they were not such whitewashes, they would be reminiscent of the 1960s "self-criticism" sessions on American campuses, when the professorial sympathizers with the unruly students who shut down and even burned down campuses, submitted and admitted their failings, like the victims of the Chinese Cultural Revolution in their dunce-caps. Syria, and similar lawless states, made no confession and was congratulated for going through this unspeakable charade, whose chief function is the harassment and defamation of countries that do pay attention to human rights, Israel in particular. Beseeched by the United States to undergo this burlesque, Israel was scheduled to appear on January 29 of this year. Israel commendably declined to appear and dignify this outrage. Forty per cent of all United Nations resolutions are condemnations of Israel. There is a standard pro forma resolution demanding the "return" to the "Zionist entity" (created by the United Nations itself -- not just recognized by it -- as a Jewish state in 1948), of five million alleged displaced Palestinians. The number is unverifiable, and once in hand it would undoubtedly swell to seven or ten million, whatever was necessary to assure the expulsion or subjugation of the Jews in what the United Nations, with the unanimous concurrence of the permanent Security Council members created as a homeland of the Jews, just three years after the liberation of the death camps in which half the world's Jewish population, six million souls (and an equal number of non-Jews) had been liquidated.
The human rights activities of the United Nations are designed and intended to support and uphold the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, largely written by Eleanor Roosevelt, in which activity, as the (Australian) session chairman said at the time, she achieved the remarkable feat of "adding lustre to the great name that is hers by right of birth and of marriage." (She was Theodore Roosevelt's niece and god-daughter as well as Franklin D. Roosevelt's wife.) The Universal Declaration, inter alia, requires equal respect for all nations, great and small. There will be no peace in the Middle East until the region accepts the fact of the founding of Israel as a Jewish state, as the United Nations explicitly created it. And there will be no movement from the game of piling blood libels on Israel and the Jews by the majority of the world's failed countries until the world's successful countries cease to be pawns in this shameful and hypocritical ostracization, and they end the effort, begun by the British in the Balfour Declaration in 1917, of selling the same real estate to two different parties. There was never any solution except to divide the twice-promised territory in two. The Great Powers, through the United Nations, created the Jewish State; Israel has been the success story of the region. For the United Nations and its leading members to have any moral credibility, this contemptible farce must end; Israel must be affirmed, and the Palestinians must have a viable state of their own and the right to return to it. The West must learn from the Canadians and the Czechs and retrieve its courage. And the Iranians, North Koreans, Zimbabwe, and other outlaw states must be denied their over-used ability to distract the world with this red herring of racist malice.

+++

Camunda BPM Migration is a framework for making process instance migration easier. It builds upon the migration functionality introduced in Camunda BPM 7.5.

This is a great feature enabling the community to go boldly where few men have gone before ;)
Typically, instance migration is avoided like the pest. It's a pain. This feature, together with the migration extension, aims to ease that pain.

# What Does the Migration Extension Offer?

Before answering that, let's have a look what Camunda already provides.

As you know, Camunda BPM provides the ability to do a migration based on process definition mapping. Still, the migration plans can only be defined for deployed processes. This makes it hard to impossible to define a migration plan on a dev machine, test it as-is on pre-production and then apply it to the live system (except if you're a danger seeker, then go ahead, have fun!)

You might also have noticed that changing variables (names, types, values, locations) is not supported. But how often does a model change lead to new or changed variables? And don't forget that the delegates may have changed too, and thus read or write different variables now.

Coming back to the headline's question, the following features are currently offered by the extension:

* Deployment-independent migration plans
* Lots of options for mapping variables

# But enough talk! Let's see some code!

Let's do a simple migration from v1 to v2.
In this scenario the **User Task "AB"** was split up into two **User Tasks "A" and "B"**.

First, we make sure that the right **Process Definitions** are chosen as **source** and **target**.

```java
  ProcessDefinitionSpec v1 = ProcessDefinitionSpec.builder()
    .versionTag("v1")
    .processDefinitionKey("main")
    .build();
  ProcessDefinitionSpec v2 = ProcessDefinitionSpec.builder()
    .versionTag("v2")
    .processDefinitionKey("main")
    .build();

```

As you can see, instead of specifying a fixed **Process Definition ID**, which changes from server to server,
we use the globally distinct combination of **Process Definition Key** and **Version Tag**.

Next, we define the **mapping** from the source Process Definition to the target Process Definition,
and create a new **Migration Step** out of it.

```java
 MigrationPlanFactory camundaMigrationPlanFactory = (source, target) -> runtimeService
    .createMigrationPlan(source, target)
    .mapActivities("Task_AB", "Task_A")
    .mapEqualActivities()
    .build();

  ModelStep migrateModel = new ModelStep(camundaMigrationPlanFactory);
```

Here we use **Camunda's Migration Plan** to map the old task "AB" to the new task "A".
And because we can't create the Migration Plan without first resolving the Process Definition IDs, an indirection via a **MigrationPlanFactory** is used.

Now we can assemble everything.

```java
  MigrationPlan migrationPlan = MigrationPlan.builder()
    .from(v1).to(v2)
    .step(migrateModel)
    .build();
```

You should take care here, because the created **MigrationPlan** comes from the extension and **must not be confused** with the MigrationPlan from Camunda BPM.

With all these things prepared, we can run the migration at any time.

```java
  new Migrator(processEngine).migrate(migrationPlan);
```

# Finally

Want to see all the gracious stuff? Have a look at the [Userguide](https://github.com/camunda/camunda-bpm-migration/blob/develop/USERGUIDE.md)!

And surely you are interested in the things to come, like

* JSON ex-/import
* Token Beamer: after migrating the model, set the token to a token to a different location

If you have any questions, ideas and the like, then you are invited to create new issues or become active on the respective issues yourself.
I'm looking forward to your feedback!

Kingston Jr. Ice Wolves goaltender Alexa Gibson. (Tim Gordanier/The Whig-Standard/Postmedia Network)
By as narrow a margin as possible, Kingston Jr. Ice Wolves goaltender Alexa Gibson, after shutting out the Brampton Canadettes on Sunday afternoon, 4-0, has moved into the top spot among the league's netminders in the goals-against average department.
Ice Wolves goaltender moves to top Back to video
Gibson, with her second Provincial Women's Hockey League shutout of the season, lowered her average to 0.99, just 0.01 in front of both Kayle Osborne of the Ottawa Lady Sens and Emily Davidson of the Etobicoke Jr. Dolphins.
Gibson stopped 26 shots for her most saves in a game this season, and her sixth win boosted her into a three-way tie for second place, one behind the leader, Michelle Pasiechnyk of the Nepean Jr. Wildcats.
The win kept the Ice Wolves (9-0-1-1) tied for second place with Etobicoke (10-2-0-0), one point behind Nepean (9-4-3-0). The Ice Wolves, who are the only team in the 20-team league to have not yet lost in regulation time, have a game in hand on Etobicoke and five on Nepean.
Gibson was supported offensively by a consistent offence that generated a single goal in each of the first two periods and a pair, including an empty-netter with no time left on the clock, in the third.
Alexa Hoskin scored what proved to be the game-winning goal 11:32 into the first period. It was her team-leading eighth goal of the season.
In the second, Madie Stockfish, with her fifth goal of the season, tallied late, while Megan Breen netted her first goal of the season in the fourth minute of the third period and Chihiro Suzuki completed the scoring on a short-handed, empty-net effort at the buzzer. It was Suzuki's fourth of the campaign.
The Ice Wolves next see action on Friday night when they host the Bluewater Jr. Hawks at 7:30 p.m. at the Invista Centre.

Fintiri, Bello, Ogunshola, APC Mourn Nda-Isaiah
Olawale Ajimotokan, Adedayo Akinwale in Abuja and Daji Sani in Yola
More condolences yesterday poured in over the death of the Chairman and founder of Leadership Newspapers, Mr. Sam Nda-Isaiah, with the Adamawa State Governor, Mr. Ahmadu Fintiri; the Minister Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr. Muhammad Bello; former Chairman, The Punch, Chief Ajibola Ogunshola; and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), expressing sadness over his sudden demise.
Nda-Isaiah died on Friday at the age of 58.
Fintiri expressed deep shock over the death, describing Nda-Isaiah as an embodiment of leadership.
In a statement by his Press Secretary, Mr. Humwashi Wonosikou, the governor noted that Nda-Isaiah's sterling qualities stood him out as a rare Nigerian, who interpreted the Nigerian situation with great understanding and passion for the growth and development of the nation.
He stated: "I express my condolences to the immediate family of Sam Isaiah, the government and people of Niger State, the Leadership family and indeed the entire Nupe kingdom over the painful loss.
"Sam's contributions to the new Nigeria will be greatly missed at a time when quacks have taken over the cyberspace peddling dangerous rumour and hate speeches."
While commending his courage towards the unity of Nigeria, Fintiri commended the use of his paper in building bridges of peace across divides and unity, expressing hope that the drive is sustained even after his death.
In his condolences, Bello described Nda-Isaiah as an epitome of hard work and patriotism, a bridge-builder and a firm believer in the unity of Nigeria.
"Although a pharmacist by training, through hard work and commitment to excellence, he founded the Leadership Group, which has in its stable one of Nigeria's foremost and most influential newspapers," Bello said.
He noted that as a resident of Abuja, whose business concerns were located in the nation's capital, Nda-Isaiah contributed to the development of the FCT.
In mourning Nda-Isaiah, the APC described him as a faithful party man.
In a statement yesterday on behalf of the party, Mr. Ishmael Ahmed, said he was part and parcel of the journey that brought the party to its formation and the growth achieved in the last six years.
It said: "Whenever the party gave tasks to Dr. Sam, they were carried out dutifully and with the highest sense of responsibility; this indeed was the classic Sam: a hard worker, who was passionate about the growth and development of his community, party and his country."
The ruling party said Nda-Isaiah set industry standards as a publisher, adding that he is forever a reference point for journalists in Nigeria.
The APC said like the motto of his newspaper: "For God and Country," Nda-Isaiah was driven by faithfulness to God and patriotism to the country in whatever decision he took.
It said the country has lost a man of ideas and solutions at a time the nation needs his contributions more than ever.
"I am shocked and saddened to learn of the death of Sam Nda-Isaiah, the chairman of Leadership Group at the early age of 58," Ogunshola said soberly in a statement last night.
He narrated his association with the deceased: "My relationship with him particularly developed and was largely confined to the era when I was the president of Newspaper Proprietors' Association of Nigeria between 2007 and 2011 and while he was a member of its governing council.
"Although he held strong beliefs on practically any matter that one had to discuss with him and stated them with characteristic vehemence, I found him quite open to alternative arguments when they have merit. He would, with a smile, say, 'Chief, that's true.'
"But what I admired most in him was his forthrightness, consistency and reliability as a member of that Council."
He said they communicated often and Nda-Isaiah would call him from some distant part of the world, even when the deceased was expected to be sleeping.
"His early wealth, elevated newspaper platform and high political contacts, especially in the states of the North, and his sheer rugged persona emboldened him to say or write whatever he wanted to write or say," Ogunshola said, adding: "I even thought he was older than he was."
He added: "A strong ally and defender of then presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, he once told me that candidate Buhari was, in private group conversations, a witty and humorous man.
"My heart goes to his wife and children, the boards and staff of Leadership Group and the other companies which he owned or co-owned.

The Ambulance Driver's Perspective
Top 10 patient translations
What the patient really means when they use one of these common phrases
My partner, a rookie EMT, is convinced he experienced an alien abduction the other day.
I'm talking about the kind where aliens beam up your patient and replace him with an exact duplicate with an entirely different chief complaint and medical history — the kind of abduction that usually occurs right after you have called to report to the hospital.
Top 10 most commonly misinterpreted EMS abbreviations
Top 10 most common EMS statements...and what they really mean
He was understandably flummoxed when the patient gave the triage nurse radically different answers than she had given my partner not five minutes before. I've told him to beware of these alien abductions. If you're not careful enough to ask history questions multiple times, they can make you look rather silly.
But I had listened to the patient while he interviewed her, and I knew that what my partner experienced wasn't so much an alien abduction as it was a misinterpretation of what the patient said. My partner, an EMT for only six months, doesn't realize that people rarely say what they actually mean. He's never been married, either, and thus hasn't learned that when your wife hisses, "I'm fine," things are most definitely not okay.
So, for my rookie partner and any other EMT who hasn't yet developed a patient translator as finely nuanced as mine, I give you the Top Ten Patient Translations:
"Medical problems? Nah, I'm generally healthy."
Except for my hypertension, coronary artery disease, asthma, hypothyroidism, diabetes, demonic possession, bipolar disorder, and cooties. But I have medicine for all that stuff.
"I take my medicine just as the doctor prescribed it!"
I take my potassium supplements daily, but I only take my Lasix when my feet start to resemble sausages. And I still don't know why I'm having all this muscle weakness!
Between nodding off and snoring peacefully: "I'm in so much pain that I don't think I can make it to the stretcher by myself."
I've taken a month's supply of Soma, Lortab and Xanax in the last week, and I want to go to the ER to get my prescriptions refilled.
"I've already called my doctor. He's going to meet us at the ER."
I am a hypochondriac and my doctor, to his everlasting regret, doesn't have caller ID.
"I feel silly for calling y'all."
I'm 85 years old and I took a tumble while checking the mail, and my family browbeat me into calling 911. I mean, it's like they've never seen a bone poking through the skin before!
"This stretcher is uncomfortable! Why do you keep it so cold in the ambulance? Ow! Is this your first time to start an IV?! Does your partner normally drive so rough? I'm going to complain to your supervisor!"
There is absolutely nothing wrong with me that a good swift kick in the rear won't fix.
"He must have just coded!"
The ventilation system is really good here at Decubitus Manor. The smell of decay never even reaches the nurse's station!
"You're so much nicer than the crew that picked me up last week! What are your names again?"
I have early onset Alzheimer's, and I'm probably going to mix up the names so that you're the one I complain about, and the crew from hell will get all my praise.
"I'm a hard stick and my veins roll."
A phlebotomist gave me a bruise 15 years ago, and I'm going to say nasty things about you to your supervisor if you stick me more than once.
"So there I was, sitting there on the stoop, reading the Bible and drinking a wholesome glass of milk, when all of a sudden and for no reason, Sumdood just jumped me!"
I was dealing crack on Sumdood's corner, while wearing enemy gang colors, groping his girlfriend's boobs, and whizzing all over his brand new spinner rims. And the last thing I said before my epic butt-kicking was, "Yo, you got a problem wid dat, homey?"
Got any patient translations of your own? Chime in with your comments!

73) Engravings on Wood by Members of the Society of American Wood-Engravers.
The sumptuous folio consists of twenty-five full-page engravings by members of the Society of American Wood-Engravers (SAWE), among them noted exponents of the New School such as Timothy Cole, Gustav Kruell and Henry Wolf and all the members of the Original Workers in Wood (OWW): Elbridge Kingsley, Frank French, John P. Davis and W. B. Closson. However, the co-founder and first secretary of the organisation, Frederick Juengling, was missing. The most radical exponent of xylographic hyperrealism and its best theorist had resigned shortly before, and his absence becomes painfully evident.
The introduction and the descriptive texts were written by William Mackay Laffan. Laffan belongs to the most dazzling personalities of the American Aesthetic Movement. His versatile and unconventional activities were of invaluable worth for the rise of the New School. Laffan was an educated artist and illustrator, and became the chief ideologist of the legendary Tile Club. He had worked his way up from investigative journalism and theatre criticism to being one of the most successful publishers of the era. In his preface, he connects the surprising development of American wood engraving since the Civil War with the expansion of the publishing industry in the phase of the Gilded Age. He maintains that American engravers have developed a distinctive style that distinguishes them from their European counterparts, a style characterized by "its simplicity, its sincerity of purpose, and the cheerful self-effacement of the engraver." In response to Linton's attacks, Laffan states that the American engraver wouldn't care about traditional rules, or about "his line", - that he woudn't even know that he has a line of his own, but would simply strive with all available means to come with his engraving as close as possible to the original.

Biotech Conagen Acquires Production Platform of Therapeutic Proteins
– The technology should reduce costs to patients and accelerate drug
Conagen, a vertically integrated synthetic biology company located in Boston's biotech corridor, announced today that it has acquired a fermentation-based technology for the production of therapeutically useful glycoproteins.
The acquisition includes several patents covering the platform and all associated tangible assets, establishing Conagen as a leading developer of active pharmaceutical ingredients.
In addition to a suite of more than 10 already developed therapeutic glycoproteins, the host platform will be used by Conagen for development of both novel and generic drugs.
Industrial fermentation typically employs microbes which can be cultured rapidly at the largest scales without cell disruption or losses in productivity. Characteristics of these therapeutics, which include desirable glycostructures and other post-translational modifications, have limited their commercial production to fragile mammalian cell systems at relatively small scales.
"One of the most exciting features of this host organism is its ability to express glycoproteins harboring glycostructures which promote the desired immune cell functions. This is a very unusual feature to find in a robustly fermentable microbe. It is also advantaged by its ability to tolerate the engineering required to customize these glycostructures while preserving the microbe's robustness," said Vice President of Research and Development, Casey Lippmeier
The platform will reduce costs, and the savings can be passed down to patients. This is important to the pharmaceutical industry which is under increasing pressure to reduce time and capital in developing drugs," said Oliver Yu, Ph.D., co-founder, and CEO of Conagen.
The largest category of therapeutic glycoproteins is the blockbuster monoclonal antibodies upon which the entire $100 billion immunotherapy and antibody-drug conjugate market is based.
More about Conagen: Making Impossible Possible(R)
Conagen is a leader in bioengineering. The company's scientists and engineers use the latest synthetic biology tools to design metabolic pathways, improve production organisms, and optimize production procedures. It focuses on bioproduction of high-value ingredients for food, nutrition, flavor and fragrance, pharmaceutical, and renewable materials industries.

LOCARNO 2018 Piazza Grande
Review: The Guest
by Kaleem Aftab
10/08/2018 - LOCARNO 2018: Duccio Chiarini has made an easy-to-watch tale about lost loves and new starts, screening in the Piazza Grande
Daniele Parisi in The Guest
Italian director Duccio Chiarini brings his easy-to-watch second feature, The Guest [+see also:
interview: Duccio Chiarini
film profile], to Locarno, where it is having its world premiere in the blockbuster Piazza Grande section. Whereas Chiarini's debut film, the Venice Biennale College micro-budget flick Short Skin [+see also:
film profile], dealt with a teenage male coming to terms with the first painful pangs of sexuality, his new feature sees him look at the opposite end of the affair, as his protagonist, Guido (Daniele Parisi), is pushing 40 and coming to terms with the fact that his girlfriend Chiara (Silvia D'Amico) doesn't want to bear his child or, indeed, be with him any more.
The drama threatens to be audacious in its first scene, which sees a naked Guido searching for a broken condom inside Chiara, but the action quickly settles down into quite a pedestrian and mild story of lost loves and new beginnings. Academic Guido's middle-class existence is ruptured by the failure of his relationship, and having quit cohabitation, he finds himself having to ask friends and his parents if he can stay on their sofas. He is the guest but he never outstays his welcome, as he soon discovers that no relationship is as perfect as it seems, with only his parents seeming to really be in it for the long run. This is the time of Tinder, after all.
There is an attempt to place this story as a social comment on the generational shift that has taken place in Italy, and elsewhere in Europe, when Guido's parents point out, "We are a different generation. They throw things away, and we used to repair them." The message is clear: it's the same with girlfriends and wives, because nowadays, nothing is for keeps.
And such easy philosophising and analogies are par for the course in The Guest, which happily plods along with wry comments and melodramatic schemata. Every character is undergoing some sort of a crisis. Ultimately, everything feels a bit too easy for Guido: even when he stalks his now ex-girlfriend, she treats him with kid gloves, and there is no deeper investigation asking whether the cotton-wool treatment of Guido by the women in his life has resulted in his privileged masculinity. Instead, Chiarini relies on familiarity to tell this tale: the scenes are recognisable, the characters are likeable, even their foibles aren't too bad, and it doesn't want to bum you out, so it doesn't take too long for Guido to find another, more suitable model. If only life were this breezy.
The Guest was produced by Mood Film in co-production with Cinedokke and House on Fire with Rai Cinema and RSI - Radiotelevisione Svizzera, in association with Relief and Bravado Film, and with the support of the Lazio region, MiBACT, Eurimages, Ufficio Federale Della Cultura, Fondo di Co-sviluppo Italia-Francia MiBACT-CNC and the TorinoFilmLab. It was made in collaboration with Wildside.

Interference Protection Criteria Simulation: A first presentation of ITS work
As demand for spectrum for commercial use continues to grow, policymakers are exploring spectrum sharing as a way to expand capacity while still fulfilling the needs of federal agencies. This model can work only if rules are designed to maximize the value of spectrum resources without compromising the quality and reliability of telecommunications.
Telecommunications systems must be able to deliver clear signals. If receiving systems experience enough interference, their performance can significantly degrade, potentially resulting in lost information and failed telecommunication. To minimize the probability of interference, spectrum managers separate systems in distance and frequency. The amount of separation is determined by IPC, which specify the allowed interference power at a specific center frequency offset.
IPC can be estimated through analysis, measurement, and computer simulation. Although the analytic method is fast it can also be highly inaccurate for pulsed interference. This is a significant problem in an era when it is important to know the effects of pulsed radars on WiFi and LTE personal communications networks. Spectrum engineers often turn to measurement when they need IPC estimates more precise than those available from analysis.
However, IPC measurements are often hindered by restrictions on equipment availability. In some cases, spectrum managers need estimates for systems that have not even been built yet, so measurements are not possible. In other cases, the systems can only be tested for a brief period of time to avoid service interruptions. These and other factors can make accurate and repeatable measurements difficult to obtain.
To overcome the limitations of measurement, the ITS and OSM have invested significantly in computer simulation capabilities. These investments are timely not only because radio system simulation software capabilities are very advanced but also because the number of IPC needed to address future spectrum sharing analysis are too numerous to obtain through the slower measurement method.
At the 2018 IEEE Radar Conference in Oklahoma City in April 2018, Robert Achatz presented a paper describing ground-breaking work performed at ITS to emulate IPC measurements through computer simulation. The research paper, "Interference Protection Criteria Simulation," describes work jointly funded by ITS and OSM to improve existing and develop new methods for estimating IPC. The findings demonstrate that simulations can provide much needed verification of measurement results, and could potentially provide more accurate and timely IPC estimates in the future.
The simulation approach is based on emulating the same systems and equipment used in a traditional measurement test fixture, including the victim transmitter and receiver, interfering transmitter, and the various laboratory instruments. The software is capable of emulating most of the radio systems involved in today's spectrum sharing options, such as radars, satellite communications, global navigation satellites, tactical mobile communications, Wi-Fi, and LTE cellular systems.
The research is part of a multitude of on ongoing efforts at ITS to enable data-driven regulatory innovations to increase spectrum utilization, making more spectrum available for commercial use and emerging technologies.

Konnichiwa, I'm Ian. I work in content for MLB.com, mostly on Fantasyand The Wall. On Thursday, I'll take off for Tokyo to cover the 2012 Opening Series between the A's and the Mariners.
Armed with only a Flip Cam, 10.0 megapixels of point-and-shoot and four days of Rosetta Stone Japanese, my goal is to bring you all the sights, sounds and smells of MLB's international road trip. We're talking about players 5,000 miles outside of their comfort zones and Japanese fans who make the Bleacher Creatures sound like the 18th green at Augusta. Funny things are going to happen. I'll be there to document them.
If you followed The Wall during the 2011 postseason, this blog will be kinda like that — except with more raw fish and fewer runaway squirrels. The idea is No Reservations-meets-The Franchise. Either that, or I'll meet a lonely Bill Murray in the hotel bar and we'll spend the week doing karaoke with a dude named Charlie Brown. Only one thing is for sure: That won't be the last Lost in Translation reference.
