Q: EJB 3 Timer problem I am using JBoss 4.2.3 with JDK 1.5. I have created a stateless EJB whose purpose is to delete a file after a specified period of time (in milliseconds).
The EJB code is:
import java.io.File;

import javax.annotation.Resource;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
import javax.ejb.Timeout;
import javax.ejb.Timer;
import javax.ejb.TimerService;

import org.jboss.annotation.ejb.LocalBinding;

@Stateless
@LocalBinding(jndiBinding = "TimedFileDeletion")
public class TimedFileDeletionBean implements TimedFileDeletionBeanLocal {

    @Resource
    TimerService timerService;

    File fileToDelete;

    public void setRequiredInfo(long intervalDuration, File fileToDelete) {
        timerService.createTimer(intervalDuration, "Created new timer");
        this.fileToDelete = fileToDelete;
    }

    @Timeout
    public void timeout(Timer timer) {
        System.out.println("Timeout occurred");

        if(fileToDelete.exists()) {
            fileToDelete.delete();
        }
    }
}

The local interface is:
import java.io.File;

public interface TimedFileDeletionBeanLocal {

    public void setRequiredInfo(long intervalDuration, File fileToDelete);
}

When I call the bean through the web container (I use the Stripes framework) the timeout method is called after the specified time but it only prints "Timeout occurred", it does not delete the file and it throws an exception. This is the console output:
INFO  [STDOUT] Timeout occurred
ERROR [TimerImpl] Error invoking ejbTimeout: javax.ejb.EJBException: java.lang.NullPointerException

Any advice would be appreciated.

A: One thing that appears that might be a problem is that you're passing into the setRequiredInfo method a reference to a File.  That reference is then stored locally, using a debugger I would verify that the reference value is the same when the timer fires.  I suspect that it may no longer be the same file referenced or that the File object may be transient.
Also, just a little warning with EJBTimers and JBoss.  This version of JBoss spins a thread for every EJB with a timer.  So, if you have 500 files to delete with these EJBs, JBoss will spin up 500 threads.  This behavior, while undesirable, does comply with the EJB spec (which is ambiguous on implementation).  These threads will be recreated if the container restarts and the timers are still waiting to fire.

A: In stateless session bean, conversational state is not maintained. Stateless bean instance variables are shared between invocations, so they may overlap.
Therefore even if you set file using setRequiredInfo(), on timeout it gets the fileToDelete null.
Try checking null before doing operation.
Below is some code snippet might help you.
class FileUtility {

// Make singleton class to store list of files to delete

public static List<File> files;

//-- get/set accessing methods

}

//---------------------
public void setRequiredInfo(long intervalDuration, File fileToDelete) {
        timerService.createTimer(intervalDuration, fileToDelete.getName()+Math.random());
        FileUtility.files.add(fileToDelete);
}

//---------------------
@Timeout
    public void timeout(Timer timer) {
        System.out.println("Timeout occurred");

    for(File fileToDelete : Fileutility.files){

        if(fileToDelete.exists()) {
            fileToDelete.delete();
        }
    }
}


During the optimization phase of your game's development, it's all about the frame rate. Whether you're increasing visual effects and quality to maximize the user's visual experience or dialing down your GPU demands to increase the responsiveness of the game, frame rate is key.
Onloading is a concept we're currently looking at within Intel as a means to increasing the platform performance by using CPU resources to do typical GPU-assigned tasks. This may be especially useful when targeting platforms with processor graphics as these are typically modest in terms of performance when compared to high end discrete graphics cards.
Several years ago discrete graphics-card vendors began suggesting that developers move typical CPU workloads to the graphics solution [Figure 1][Harris06]. Despite the advances in graphics hardware both in the integrated and discrete space, it's still relatively simple to turn up your effects to become graphics-bound even today.
Post processing effects have a significant impact on the quality of your title and have heavy texture and fill requirements. High resolution displays are the norm with use of multiple displays increasing [Valve11].
The CPU can . . .
CPUs are increasing in total throughput at an exponential rate. With increases in core count and wider vector units, we can start looking at how the CPU can assist with some typical graphics workloads. Prior to taking part in this exercise, it is important that we first ensure we haven't moved our typical CPU workloads -- such as Physics and AI -- to the GPU.
Take a look at your game when you start the optimization phase and see where the bottlenecks are. If your game scales well across multiple cores and threads and provides the best user experience on the platform, you may not have an opportunity for Onloading. If you're graphics-bound, have your Physics and AI workloads already on the CPU, and are seeing opportunities for higher CPU utilization, CPU Onloading may offer potential gains.
Along with the opportunities outlined above, there are challenges that exist when considering using the CPU to perform some typical GPU-accelerated workloads. Of chief concern are lack of fixed function hardware, such as texture units and a rasterizer.
Workloads requiring heavy rasterization or texture filtering are not the best candidates. In addition, there's currently no mechanism within Microsoft Direct3D* to avoid copying the working buffer which results in significant overhead. We can work around this by double buffering our render loop.
A significant advantage to using the CPU for graphics workloads is that they can be implemented without the constraints and limitations imposed by current graphics APIs. Irregular data structures, the use of desired programming languages along with large caches provide additional opportunities for flexibility and performance.
If we're smart enough to look at balancing the entire platform, [Figure 2], we're also going to need to ensure we utilize our available threads and vector units as much as possible. Fortunately both parallel and vector programming have gained significant traction in recent years, with tools and knowledge pervasive across platforms.
Developers familiar with console programming should be well versed in these concepts. Intel provides several tools to aid developers in utilizing our processors' resources including the Intel® VTune™ Amplifier XE.


In California, if a person has a will when he or she dies, the probate process in California begins with the executor who is named in the will filing a petition in probate court, seeking appointment. If a person dies without a will (called dying intestate), a relative or other person starts the process, and the court appoints an administrator to handle the estate. Personal representative is another term used to describe the executor or administrator of an estate.
Once appointed, the personal representative collects all the assets and property of the estate, pays all debts and expenses, and after court approval, distributes the rest of the estate to the beneficiaries. If there are disputes or disagreements among the beneficiaries or with the personal representative along the way, they will be resolved by the probate court.
Probate is required for estates over $150,000 in California. More streamlined procedures are available for smaller estates.


Are universities failing to act on heavy drinking?
A recent Telegraph article reported universities are doing little to address drinking as thousands of Freshers' week events and parties kicked off the new academic year. The article was published following comments by a vice-Chancellor that "many universities turn a blind eye to excessive drinking, believing that what students choose to do with alcohol, and indeed drugs, is none of their business".
Sir Anthony Seldon, vice-Chancellor of Buckingham University, made the charge in a report on the concept of a 'positive university', in which he also stated that universities should "no longer be allowed to continue with this permissive approach" to excessive drinking. To help address heavy drinking norms the report proposes alternative activities for students including various relaxation and wellbeing focused activities such as mindfulness, which has been shown to reduce drinking.
Are UK universities turning a blind eye?
Like many alcohol policy areas, the extent to which universities should actively discourage or intervene in heavy drinking behaviours amongst students may divide opinion.
Many students inevitably see the freedom and opportunity to enjoy themselves as a significant attraction of university, but levels of alcohol misuse and potential for harm are also significant; a recent systematic review found almost two-thirds of students drank at risky or harmful levels.
In 2014 an 'NUS Impact' scheme was piloted across seven Universities in England and Wales in a bid to "create a social norm of responsible alcohol consumption by students." At the time we reported that the evidence for 'social norming' as the main thrust of the scheme was mixed at best, whilst other elements such as not serving intoxicated customers was already required by law, albeit often overlooked.
Indeed a report summary [pdf] from the 2014/15 NUS Impact pilot makes curious reading and may be unlikely to impress researchers involved in impact evaluation. Whilst claiming success, its achievements cite numbers of students 'engaged' or 'reached', and the majority of perception outcomes gathered via the survey appeared no different from pilot sites. Initially funded as a pilot by the Home Office, the scheme has nonetheless engaged a number of further Universities to sign up as self-funding member organisations.
Other than the NUS impact scheme, of which the actual likely impact is indeed questionable, there appears no national or systematic approach or guidance to developing responses to reduce risky drinking in UK higher education settings. As such, the charge that universities on the whole take a permissive attitude to drug and alcohol issues may be valid, at least where it is not directly causing the university problems.
What more could universities do? One university lead responded to the Telegraph article on Twitter to highlight IBA direct activity during its freshers week had been actively reaching out to students to provide brief interventions. Universities perhaps could also do more to reach students via digital alcohol interventions, backed by a recent systematic review. Meanwhile industry funded Drinkaware has announced its 'Drinkaware Crew' initiative has been expanding to provide venues with Crew who look out to support young people who may be vulnerable and to promote 'positive social environments'. Although not specifically targeting universities, the scheme will be likely to be covering many student orientated nights in the 14 cities it now operates.
Others might argue that despite recent declines in drinking rates amongst younger people, whilst cheap alcohol is still widely available and promoted, harmful drinking amongst students is likely to remain a significant problem. Controversial student nights such as Carnage UK may be more tightly managed via on-trade regulations, but the question of whether universities ought to take a more proactive and robust approaches to reducing alcohol misuse amongst its students may warrant further attention.

Spontaneous reduction of intussusception: Verification with US
Leonard E. Swischuk, Susan D. John, Peter N. Swischuk
PURPOSE: To report cases of spontaneous reduction of intussusception. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The authors reviewed the clinical and imaging findings in four patients with intussusception. Patients ranged in age from 3 to 7 months and were seen over a 12-year period. RESULTS: Intussusception was diagnosed with ultrasound (US) in all four patients; however, when enema studies were performed, intussusception was not identified. Repeat US also failed to demonstrate the presence of an intussusception, and all four patients showed concomitant rapid resolution of symptoms. CONCLUSION: Spontaneous reduction of intussusception is probably more common than is generally thought, and its documentation was facilitated with US. It is likely that spontaneously reduced intussusception will be documented more frequently in the future.

The Young Adult Section: Eating disorders at Stanford
May 7, 2012	1 Comment Share
Nina M. Chung
By: Nina M. Chung
Two months ago, I wrote a column about my eating disorder. I had hoped to explain why eating disorders themselves were less a root problem and more a symptom of a universal issue: the desire for control
Over the past couple years, though, I've also begun noticing the particularity of eating disorders at Stanford. The disorder persists because it's an internal psychology, which is an invisible topic. "It happens, but no one talks about it" because it is so well-camouflaged. It weaves itself into Stanford lives in so many ways.
Even if we on the outside see the most blatant behavioral changes in someone, our fear of sounding judgmental prevents us from saying anything. It's an unexpected side effect of our emphasis on total toleration. I always wondered why not one person legitimately commented on my new, committed habits that entire year. Yet just a bit later, even I felt that hesitancy when I recognized my former seemingly innocuous habits replayed by a dormmate. I was passive and never addressed it — even after learning personally the damage of the disorder. Later, I discovered that she had indeed been suffering and was in recovery. I'm now quite afraid of my own ability to ignore.
The irony proceeds. Our campaigns for fitness, athleticism, eating healthily and avoiding sugar set a high standard for the country. They react and respond to a broader epidemic of obesity, low food quality and sustainability issues. Equally destructive, though, is the volatile swing to the other extreme, where a one-size-fits-all "health" formula becomes a life purpose, which doesn't make sense either. Health does not equate to two people sitting at a table, eating identical proportions of vegetables and non-vegetables. Yet still I hear "Oh, you eat so healthily!" as a well-intended compliment that once gave me a burst of psychological energy to continue depriving myself of calories.
Stanford recognizes this, for which I'm exceedingly appreciative. I don't think there are many other schools that so loudly and creatively proclaim the holistic nature of wellness. It gets complicated, though: in the process of promoting its importance, we too easily short-circuit ourselves to focus simply on its external face. It's an extremely difficult line to gauge. In any art or film class I've ever taken, a major discussion has always been about authenticity versus image, for as something authentic grows in value, so does the value of the image. The mechanics of an eating disorder exemplify this: relative to pursuing true spiritual peace, the visible interpretation is much more convenient. And we fall for that, over and over again, trusting our ability to follow good strategy.
Which leads me also to a third observation: certain personality traits are both stellar for academics and useful for eating disorders. Think of how much strength and destruction is contained in "perfectionism," "high need for structure," and thoughts like "I will only eat 'good' things" (disorder symptoms listed by Vaden). Several of my friends confirm that their ambitious work ethic and goal-oriented nature — even a penchant for numbers (counting calories) — were essential to sustaining an eating disorder.
The difficulty in calling out an eating disorder is that it is defined by a way of thinking, and the actions that follow are only potential indicators. Everyone eats differently, grows up with different cultural standards and needs completely variable things. But eating disorders boil down to a question of motives, which include but are not limited to: an ever-decreasing scale number, an appearance that will never come and a distraction from more emotional issues.
We are, however, at a place where being unbelievably busy is 100 percent socially acceptable. Thus, not everyone is taking time to address their truest intentions, let alone those of others around us. This is a significant part of why an eating disorder can tyrannize a Stanford student for so long. The insanity of its purpose takes reflection, introspection and a community of people who will reaffirm that appearance doesn't suffice as a life goal.
This column isn't meant for the student with the disorder. For those engulfed in a radical eating regime, it's likely to sound totally irrelevant. This column, ultimately, is for the student nearby, or the dormmate or classmate or friend noticing something. You might not know what to say or do, but there are people at Stanford (Stanford Healthy Body Image Program or Vaden) who are prepared. Many of them went through this, and are trying to spare others.

I thought of this the other day. There was a photo of an emaciated Kelly Ripa on a beach with a bathing suit on and she looked terrible. I haven't seen anyone that skinny in a long time. She had absolutely no chest, and she was skin and bones.
Underneath the caption had the yahoo reporter saying how amazingly hot she looked and how fantastic a body she had. Maybe for an 8 year old.
This is by far not a new problem. But to see so many celebs going back to the skin and bones look and seeing so many copy it is disturbing. Whether it be for control or just peer pressure, it has and unfortunately always will be a problem that seems to lack the focus it deserves.

Q: Setting up MYSQL with the latest version of Ruby on Rails I am a total ruby on rails noob, and I have been trying to follow Lynda.com's ruby on rails 3 essential training. However, this was made when mysql was the default database, and somehow since then the default has been changed to sqlite3.
I have absolutely no idea how to handle anything related to ruby, migrations, or databases, and following along with the tutorial requires me being able to change over from the default of sqlite to mysql. Is there anyone that can help me do this? I think I have so far managed to completely screw everything up, so here's what I did for the record:
1. Installed mysql. Its running and working on my mac. This is whats displayed when I go into the mysql interface:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 8
Server version: 5.5.9 MySQL Community Server (GPL)

Oracle is a registered trademark of Oracle Corporation and/or its
affiliates. Other names may be trademarks of their respective
owners.
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.
2. Changed databases.yml over to the mysql structure, for example:
development:
  adapter: mysql2
  encoding: utf8
  database: simple_cms_development
  username: simple_cms
  password: password
  socket: /tmp/mysql.sock
3. Went into the gemfile and added gem 'mysql2', although I kept the sqlite3 one in there as well.
4. Ran 'bundle install' to make sure that the mysql2 gem was installed. It kept putting everything from the bundle into a folder called mysql2 due to an earlier mistake, so I changed the path to 'gems'
5. Ran 'gem list' and mysql2 was in the list
Then I ran db:migrate and got this error, which I looked up and tried every single solution I found on this site, and not a single one worked.
rake aborted!

Possibly my most upscale guitar to date, #8 has a beautiful redwood top with mahogany back and neck, and ebony fretboard. I spent a great deal of time working on the inlays, using abalone and mother of pearl. The redwood for the top was cut some 80 years ago and shows amazing figure. I used standard plastic bobbins but wound the pickups as usual on a sewing machine. The pickups are switchable series/parallel using switches in the pots. Home made knobs and switch tip from ebony. I even turned the ebony guitar strap buttons on my mini lathe. I named the guitar "Bohemia" for the European Bohemian movement of the 1800's, oh, and also for Natty Boh beer!

However, rather than start with physical practice, Warne has opted to teach his fiancee about sledging, a sporting term which means to insult an opponent in order to unsettle them.
"ElizabethHurley asking so many cricket questions Think I will have to dress up in my old cricket whites & sledge her, so she understands!(sic)" Contactmusic quoted him as tweeting.
He later revealed he had carried out his plan and teased he now wants lessons of his own from the swimwear model.

Sandra and David had a quaint and intimate wedding in the Cellar of Ravine Winery. It is the perfect place to host a small affair and is just dripping with a unique and cozy vibe. If you are considering a Niagara wedding especially in off season this is a wonderful venue that still gives the vineyard feel (even in December). My friend Samantha from Darling Mine captured the simple yet elegant flowers we created. Enjoy!

He has always made it a priority to help the underprivileged class. His knowledge of civil litigation, real estate, and bankruptcy makes him an important advisor during all the various market trends.
Borna became a member of the National Trial Lawyers Top 40 under 40 due to his work ethic and dedication to the Plaintiff's Bar.
Outside of the office, Borna loves to travel, spend time outdoors, and remain active with his friends and family. He also dedicates a portion of his time and resources to helping others through various charitable organizations and community programs.

While in the clinic, she co-drafted an amicus curiae brief in support of a case being heard before the United States Supreme Court. Veronica also worked as a research assistant to two highly regarded professors as they drafted their respective books.
Veronica focuses her practice primarily on personal injury and employment law. She is an ambitious and ardent advocate for her clients. Before joining Freeway Law, she worked as Insurance & Claims Counsel for a multinational insurance brokerage firm.

Corey Hall, Esq. Of Counsel
Corey Hall is a true trial lawyer. He already has more trial experience than most senior partners. This is important because his willingness to go to trial increases your chances for a great result. Corey isn't afraid to reject bad offers, and he can't be bullied by insurance companies. Additionally, trial inexperience makes most attorneys afraid to take a case to trial and these attorneys may advise their clients to accept a low-ball deal because they want to avoid their fear of trial. In other words, they sell their client short because they aren't confident in their ability in the courtroom.
This could not be more different from Corey. He loves trial and pours everything he has into his clients' cases. Whether you prefer to settle your case before trial or have your day in court, having a true trial lawyer like Corey by your side will make all the difference.

Mr. Jamal's desire to help the people in his community was the main reason why he founded Jamal Injury Law P.C.. Growing up, his community did a lot for him and his long life goal had always been to give back. Being able to fight for the rights of injured accident victims throughout his community makes his job very rewarding.
When not fighting for his clients, Mr. Jamal enjoys playing basketball and spending time with his family. The competitive drive he established while playing sports growing up has stayed with him throughout his career and helps drive him each day.

Wearing blue and red T-shirts — colors sported by teachers nationally to protest low wages and resources — state workers raised hand-drawn signs that said, "Why should my students respect me when the government doesn't?" and "We are worth more money."
Advocates called on S.C. lawmakers to provide more money to school districts and state agencies, where some officials struggle to fill jobs and retain experienced workers.
They also told their colleagues to vote in the June 12 primary and in the November general election.
"We must elect a governor and members of the General Assembly who care about our state employees (and) our public schools," said Kathy Maness, head of the Palmetto State Teachers Association.
South Carolina's average teacher pay — $48,769 — falls below the Southeastern average, and new teachers earn about $30,100.
Overall, nearly 40,000 full-time state workers earn $50,000 or less.
A 2016 state-funded study found state workers' pay lags 15 percent behind that of other states and 18 percent behind the private sector.
"Our ... legislators need to remember the simple message that thousands of my own students carry away from my classroom over the years," said Bernadette Hampton, head of the S.C. Education Association, which organized Saturday's event with the S.C. State Employees Association.
"If you know better, do better," she said.
Specifically, Hampton asked that S.C. House and Senate budget negotiators add to the state's budget — which takes effect July 1 — at least a 1 percent teacher pay raise and more money to bump up teachers' starting pay to $32,000, a proposal both chambers added to their versions of the budget.
"As a state, we know that we need to do better things around teacher pay, around social and emotional support, around safety," said Patrick Kelly, 37, who teaches AP U.S. history at Blythewood High School. "But talk's not enough, because kids only get one chance at a K-12 education."
Advocates for state workers said Saturday a letter will be sent to Gov. Henry McMaster and the Legislature's budget chairmen — Senate President Pro Tempore Hugh Leatherman, R-Florence, and Rep. Brian White, R-Anderson — requesting a summit on pay and education funding.
"The crisis has to be addressed," said Carlton Washington, head of the S.C. State Employees Association. "Employees will be watching how this is handled. If state employees and teachers are blown off, it's just going to make them angry."
Washington said state workers have long been ignored, pointing to the lack of legislative action that followed the 2016 study.
"It's shameful that we have a pay study from 2016, primarily orchestrated by state Rep. Gilda Cobb-Hunter, that for two years lawmakers have done nothing with," he said.
Washington said now is the time for state leaders to have an open and honest dialogue about pay. State workers and S.C. teachers said Saturday they are committed to being a part of that conversation.
"If I don't stand up for my own profession," said 23-year-old middle school teacher Elizabeth Durham, "nobody's going to stand up for me."

We have consistently high expectations of behaviour throughout the school.
Our Behaviour Policy is closely linked to the ethos of our Mission Statement, 'To love, to learn with God in our hearts' and, as a Catholic School, our view of good behaviour comes from Gospel values as well as from our purpose as a place of learning.
We seek to give as much praise and encouragement as we can. We have many positive reinforcements which help steer children towards good behaviour. Positive reinforcement promotes self-confidence which in turn promotes learning.
Letters sent home to parents/carers when behavioural targets have been met.
A reminder of the expectations for learners Ready, Respectful, Safe delivered privately to the learner. The teacher makes them aware of their behaviour. The learner has a choice to do the right thing.
A clear verbal warning delivered privately to the learner making them aware of their behaviour and clearly outlining the consequences if they continue. The learner has a choice to do the right thing. Learners will be reminded of their good previous good conduct to prove that they can make good choices.
a. Gentle approach, personal, non-threatening, side on, eye level or lower.
b. State the behaviour that was observed and which rule/expectation/routine it contravenes.
c. Tell the learner what the consequences of their action is. Refer to previous good behaviour/learning as a model for the desired behaviour.
d. Walk away from the learner; allow them time to decide what to do next. If there are comments, as you walk away write them down and follow up later.
We resist endless discussions around behaviour and spend our energy returning learners to their learning.
The learner is asked to speak to the teacher away from others.
Learner is asked to reflect on their next step. Again they are reminded of their previous conduct/attitude/learning.
If the step above is unsuccessful, or if a learner refuses to go take a time out then the learner will be asked to leave the room.
If appropriate, a member of the Senior Leadership Team will be called to support.
The child will be asked to take some time to think about their behaviour. 'Time Out' will take place either in the classroom or in a different room. In general, three minutes should be enough time for the child to consider their actions and how they need to change their behaviour. If a child needs time out from learning, the class teacher may decide that the child then needs to complete the missed learning time at morning or lunchtime break. It will be explained to the child that they are missing time from their break as they missed time from their learning due to their behaviour choices.
A time out should be followed by a restorative conversation between the child and the teacher/ teaching assistant who dealt with the behaviour. Once the behaviour has been discussed the child should re-engage with the whole class learning.
Learners' may have their behaviour monitored by teachers to show progress towards agreed targets. At St John Evangelist Catholic School we make sure that this is done discreetly. We do not use coloured reports, advertise poor behaviour to other learners or give fame to those who choose not to meet our high standards of behaviour.

Huawei becomes the Orchestra Sponsor for the Mahler Chamber Orchestra's residency at the 22nd Beijing Music Festival
Huawei, one of the global leaders in ICT technology will support the first phase of the Mahler Chamber Orchestra's three-year residency at the Beijing Music Festival, the first of its kind at this premier event in China's cultural calendar.
Huawei's sponsorship enables the Mahler Chamber Orchestra to extend its mission to create and share exceptional experiences in classical music, and reach new audiences in the Chinese capital during October 2019. The orchestra's appearance at the 22nd Beijing Music Festival will consist of three performances with outstanding global artists – including Russian conductor Vladimir Ashkenazy, Chinese baritone Shenyang and Canadian violinist James Ehnes – accompanied by education and outreach projects conducted in partnership with BMF.
The sponsorship is part of Huawei's continuous support for intercultural projects which foster international cooperation and understanding between artists and their audiences all over the world. Furthermore, Huawei has been actively participating in one of the greatest innovations in classical music: At the beginning of this year, Huawei helped to complete Schubert's unfinished Symphony No. 8 by supporting the composition of the two missing movements with AI.
Michael Adick, Managing Director of the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, says:
"I am delighted that Huawei has chosen to become the Orchestra Sponsor for the first phase of our residency at the Beijing Music Festival. This important commitment reflects a shared belief in the power of global exchange and communication, whether through technology or through culture. Our ability to bring this orchestra's unique and versatile approach to making music to audiences across the world relies on the generous support of our sponsors; we extend our deepest thanks to Huawei for making this historic cultural exchange possible."
David Wang, Huawei Chief Representative of Berlin office, says:
"We are happy to support the first phase of the Mahler Chamber Orchestra's residency in Beijing. This engagement is part of our continuous efforts to facilitate cooperation in all areas, including culture. As one of the best chamber orchestras of the world, the outstanding artists will bring the finest and most innovative classical music to Beijing. At the beginning of this year, we demonstrated to a large audience in London what technological innovations coupled with the creative energy of an entire orchestra can achieve. I am sure that the Mahler Chamber Orchestra will leave a similar impression in Beijing."

About the Mahler Chamber Orchestra
The Mahler Chamber Orchestra (MCO) was founded in 1997 based on the shared vision of being a free and international ensemble, dedicated to creating and sharing exceptional experiences in classical music. With 45 members spanning 20 different countries at its core, the MCO works as a nomadic collective of passionate musicians uniting for specific tours in Europe and across the world.
The orchestra's sound is characterized by the chamber music style of ensemble playing among its alert and independent musical personalities. Its core repertoire, ranging from the Viennese classical and early Romantic periods to contemporary works and world premieres, reflects the MCO's agility in crossing musical boundaries.
The MCO received its most significant artistic impulses from its founding mentor, Claudio Abbado, and from Conductor Laureate Daniel Harding. The MCO works closely with a network of Artistic Partners, who inspire and shape the orchestra in long-term collaborations, and include pianists Mitsuko Uchida and Leif Ove Andsnes, as well as violinist Pekka Kuusisto and conductor Teodor Currentzis.
MCO musicians all share a strong desire to continually deepen their engagement with audiences. This has led to a growing number of offstage musical encounters and projects that bring music, learning and creativity to communities across the globe.
About the Beijing Music Festival
Founded in 1998 by Maestro Long Yu, The Beijing Music Festival (BMF) is the premier event in China's cultural calendar and one of the leading classical music festivals in the world. The festival presents more than 30 concerts every October, offering a wide variety of classical and jazz music including opera, orchestral, chamber, solo, and choral concerts. BMF also hosts master classes, community outreach concerts, children's concerts, and educations activities.
Notable performers who have appeared at the festival include Martha Argerich, Pinchas Zukerman, Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Emmanuel Ax, Murray Perahia, Maxim Vengerov, Christoph Eschenbach, Tan Dun, Kathleen Battle, José Carreras, Sarah Chang, Augustin Dumay, Valery Gergiev, Mischa Maisky, Krzysztof Penderecki, Isaac Stern, Melvyn Tan, Fou Ts'ong, the Kodály Quartet, and the New London Consort.
The Festival has always been active in commissioning and presenting premieres of new works by great Chinese and international composers, and many works of the Western classical music canon had their Asian premieres at BMF. Zhou Long's Madame White Snake, which was co-commissioned with Opera Boston, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 2011.
The Foundation also presented the world premiere of Ye Xiaogang's opera, Song of Farewell (texted by Sun Gexuan) and the sensational China premiere of Mahler's Symphony No. 8 ("Symphony of a Thousand"). In the opening concert of the 13th Beijing Music Festival, the Foundation commissioned Howard Shore for a new piano concerto commemorating the bicentennial of Chopin's birth. Entitled Ruin and Memory and performed by Lang Lang, this work received its world premiere at the festival.

Port, Grafton win first-round playoff games
MITCH MAERSCH
Grafton High School football coach Jim Norris said beating a team twice in one season is difficult, but his Black Hawks did it last Friday — and more convincingly this time around against Wisconsin Lutheran.
The No. 3-seeded Hawks (9-1) built a 14-0 lead and beat the No. 6-seeded Vikings, 28-7, in a Division 3 level 1 game at home.
On Sept. 2, they came back from a 12-7 halftime deficit to win, 29-12. It was the Vikings (7-4) only loss in the Woodland Conference as the Hawks went on to win the league.
"It's always tough to beat a team twice. They're always a really fun match-up," Norris said.
Last Friday, Tommy Lutz had 11 carries for 85 yards and a touchdown, and Chase Norton ran 16 times for 47 yards and two scores. Jackson Heinle scored from 19 yards out on his only run of the night.
"It's the best D-line that we've seen up to this point throughout the season. They play us tough, especially their safeties and their corners. They're not afraid to get down in the box and hit and tackle," Norris said.
Sophomore Brady Hilgart went 9-for-15 passing for 111 yards, and senior Vince Cameranesi went 3-for-8 for 28 yards.
The Hawks nearly doubled the Vikings in yardage, 297 to 154, and the defense held the explosive Wisconsin Lutheran offense in check. The Vikings averaged 2.8 yards per rush and 102 yards total — half of what they had in the first game.
Senior inside linebacker Ben Birch had 13 tackles, linebacker Irtaza Manzoor had 11 and a forced fumble, and lineman Nathan Krause had 10 tackles. Heinle had seven at his linebacker spot and tackle Josh Lee-O'Bryant had six.
"Our defensive guys were ready," Norris said, adding they remembered the two long plays the Vikings pulled off in the first meeting.

Your Toddler's Sensory Issues Might Be Temporary
But experts say the answer on if your toddler will completely outgrow them is nearly as complex as the issue itself.
by Ashley Jones
Toddlerhood is wrought with behaviors that parents hope their child will eventually outgrow — tantrums, picky eating, bedwetting, and more. It stands to reason that eventually, your child will grow up and out of the habit of a 3-hour-long bedtime routine, but do toddlers grow out of sensory issues, too?
"It's at the toddler stage that parents generally start suspecting their child is experiencing sensory processing issues," Lori Caplan-Colon, a Speech Language Pathologist with Montclair Speech Therapy, tells Romper. "A loud noise, bright light, a certain smell, or even mealtime might trigger extreme behaviors in the child. This is because the toddler's brain is having trouble correctly processing the outside stimulus. This leads to fear, frustration, and a sense of being overwhelmed."
Sensory issues can impact one or more of a child's five senses — touch, smell, sight, sound, and taste — immensely, but they affect each person differently and will not always display the same way in each child. Sensory problems can also impact a child's balance, spatial awareness, emotions, and more. Where some may not be able to wear clothing with itchy tags, others may have a hard time eating foods of certain textures. Since toddlerhood is the time when children are first really able to outwardly express their feelings about the world around them, sensory issues often first present during the toddler years.
Pediatric occupational therapist and author of Play With Your Food, Sarah Appleman, explains that the sensory system is designed to help us survive. "Very simply put, our body uses its senses — touch, taste, hear, smell, see, vestibular and proprioception — to make our brain aware of harm, allowing it to react," Appleman tells Romper. "Sensory processing is the ability to take information from your environment and interpret it appropriately. Children who have sensory processing issues are unable to complete this process due to their brain misinterpreting the input."

The reason why a child experiences sensory issues can vary greatly. Although they are not always interconnected, sensory processing problems are sometimes experienced by children on the autism spectrum. Appleman tells Romper that research into why sensory processing issues occur is ongoing. "Some say it is environmental while others say it is genetic. Some researchers state it is a lack of sensory input when the children are young," she explains.
The answer of whether or not these issues will resolve after toddlerhood is just as complex as the issue itself. "The medical research community really hasn't spent enough time researching this aspect, so there are mixed opinions," Caplan-Colon says. "There is some evidence to suggest that in less severe cases, the sensory overload is caused by an immature sensory processing system, and the child might 'grow out' of the condition as that system matures. But in the majority of cases, the child will need to develop vetted coping strategies to help mitigate their response to the stimulation."
While not every child who experiences sensory processing issues as a toddler will continue to have them throughout their lifetime, some will. The ability to cope with the symptoms of sensory processing problems is key for children who continue to experience them as they grow.
"In a large portion of cases, children can learn to manage the disorder, and symptoms and reactions become milder and less disruptive to the child's life," neuropsychologist Dr. Sanam Hafeez tells Romper. "Unfortunately, this is not always the case, particularly in children who are in the autism spectrum. For them, the sensory processing disorder lasts longer, but can also improve with time. It is always important to consult your child's doctor to help guide you. In many cases, occupational therapy helps a great deal."
When my son was nearly 4 years old, we met with a child psychologist to get to the bottom of some sensory issues he had experienced for several years. Among our top concerns was his outright fear of loud noises. He was scared of things like hairdryers, toilets, and cars thanks to the noises that those things sometimes make. In my son's case, his sensory processing problems were mild enough that he did mostly outgrow or learn to cope with them by about age 6, but he still deals with lingering sensitivities today as a third grader. (We once missed an entire movie because a particularly loud preview bothered him to the point that he wouldn't step foot back inside the theater.)
"The first thing to do when our child is going through any condition that's chronic that will need attention and understanding is to educate ourselves," Hafeez says. "Understanding your child's limits is very important to prevent sensory overload and anxiety and this takes time, so be kind to yourself. Minimizing stress is also important as stress can feed the issue and compound what the child is already feeling."
If you've ever dealt with a toddler who experiences sensory issues, you know how confusing it can be. Until you really know what your child is dealing with, it's hard to understand exactly how to help them, so speaking with your child's pediatrician, an occupational therapist, psychologist, or neuropsychologist to fully assess their symptoms is important.

We're raising a round of applause for the stunning Vintage Ranch from Eldorado Stone for being selected as a finalist in the 2018 Innovation in Design Awards (IDAs)! Due to this honor, Vintage Ranch was also featured in a recent issue of Connecticut Cottages & Gardens.
Honorees were selected by the CTC&G editorial team, and this recognition reflects the importance of trade shows and custom pitching. Trade shows such as the International Builders Show are vital for familiarizing editors and other members of the media with products in a more intimate and tangible way than two-dimensional images sent in pitches. The in-booth Merlot representative made sure editors got a closer look at Vintage Ranch, the stone veneer interpretation of reclaimed barn wood. As stunning as Vintage Ranch is in photos, when you see it in person and run your hands over the expertly crafted "boards," it's nearly impossible to forget.
In an industry full of new and exciting products, custom pitching is also important to stay in front of editors, and it helps to keep those custom pitches as timely and relevant as possible by anticipating industry trends that will be the talk of the town within days. The timelessness of weather-worn barn wood, combined with the technology and artistry that enable stone veneer to take on the characteristics of this warm, rustic look with durability, lends itself beautifully to the charm of Connecticut Cottages & Gardens; in short, it's a match made in home design heaven.
Earned media coverage is an important part of building brand awareness, and getting accolades from esteemed awards such as the IDAs lend third party legitimacy resulting in both awareness and consumer trust. This, in turn, adds to perceived value. That's a win-win-win!

Q: How to Train FCN network with 6 channel input images? Input image is 6 channels and I am using FCN-8 and I am changing the First conv layer like this:
model = torchfcn.models.FCN8sAtOnce(n_class=2)
model.conv1_1 = nn.Conv2d(6, 64, 3, padding=100)

It throws an error,
 RuntimeError: shape '[1, 1664, 1024, 1]' is invalid for input of size 1650000

But When I keep it by default at 3 channels and give 3 channel image it works fine:
model = torchfcn.models.FCN8sAtOnce(n_class=2)
model.conv1_1 = nn.Conv2d(**3**, 64, 3, padding=100)

This model is being imported from torch so I don't really know how to debug it.
Does anyone knows how to fix this?
or
basically I want a segmentation network which can take more than 3 channel as an Input, please share the link if available.


For the first time at Moorambilla Voices residential camps, three students from Leonora District High School, in remote Western Australia, came to Moorambilla MAXed OUT Company. And they had a blast of a time. Leonora students Braedyn Butson, Shantahlia Kenda and Lakeisha Whitby travelled with teacher Jenna Corlett, AIEO Dianne Vincent and Education Assistant Luke Maxfield.
Jenna Corlett, Leonora District High School Teacher, shares their experience, with photographs by Noni Carroll.
We began our adventure in our small rural town of Leonora in Western Australia. Three of our students were selected to participate in MAXed OUT Company to sing, dance and play percussion with other like minded 12-16 year olds from towns across rural and remote Australia. We were the only school from Western Australia participating in the event, which was pretty exciting!
Our first flight from Leonora to Perth was a wickedly, windy flight where the turbulence allowed for no real rest. With a two hour delayed departure we arrived in Perth and made our way straight to the Qantas domestic terminal to catch our second flight to Sydney. Out of our small group of three students and three adults only two of us had flown to East Australia before so the thrill of a flight on a larger plane as well as a new city was evident.
We arrived in Sydney late and caught a cab to our hotel. The next morning we woke and returned to the airport for our third and final flight to the rural NSW town of Dubbo. From there we hired a car and drove to Baradine, a small rural town of approximately 500 people. This would be our final destination and home for a week to the 97 enthusiastic high school students ready for a unique opportunity to share their creative selves with professional musicians and artists and choreographers.
Workshops and sessions start immediately the students arrive into Baradine, with Taikoz artist Ryuji Hamada leading the session on fan and sword dancing, and Artistic Director Ian Cleworth on taiko.
Each day consisted of a range of workshops to build on the children's natural talents, whether it was choral singing, percussion and taiko or composition techniques and performance experience with the ultimate goal in mind of an end performance in September . The workshops were run by professional artists, who have a passion for their area as well as passing their skills and knowledge onto these aspiring young people. However, to me this whole experience has been so much more than just a music workshop. There are so many underlying qualities that this camp teaches these students. Qualities such as social skills and leadership, self- confidence and self- discipline and the opportunity to make lifelong friends.

Luke Maxfield was a wonderful part of the supervisors team on camp.
The passion of Michelle Leonard, the Artistic Director, is highly apparent and the students truly respond to this. Her high expectations, guided with the clear directions of all the experts allow for outstanding results. Being a resident of a rural town in Western Australia, I believe there is a need for such a experience to be brought to our state. The way it brings the local community as well as communities within the area together was admiring to witness and is what I took from this experience the most. Whether it was creating the props for the final performance, catering the food for the students, staff and volunteers, or providing the accommodation for everyone, they all came together to make this event such a success. It was truly a beautiful occasion to witness and be a part of!

I already live with melancholia and I have struggled with several seasons of mild depression in my life, so Winter can really do me in if I'm not proactive.
Water. I begin my day with drinking two glasses of water. One plain (or with lemon squeezed into it when I have remembered to buy a lemon) and one with a shot of apple cider vinegar in it. We all know that water is supposed to do wonders for our bodies but beginning your day with it kickstarts your whole system.
Supplements. I take a few but Vitamin D has been my go-to for that little extra when the sun isn't shining anymore. Check with your doctor because, you know, I'm not a doctor.
Rituals. Each morning, I turn on a worship or Christian cd and I light a candle and start a fire in the fireplace. These are things I love. Doing things we love are gentle ways to nurture who we are.
Light therapy. I use a light therapy lamp for thirty minutes each morning while I do some odds and ends on my computer. I struggle with sleeping through the night these days (as I'm pretty sure I'm perimenopausal), so I need all the help I can get.
Time with God. I spend time with God every morning. I journal whatever is on my mind and I read a devotional and some Scripture. But especially when facing the blues, upping my gratitude always shifts my perspective. So every day I list off several things that I am truly grateful for in my life. Also, outright asking God for the joy of the Lord to replace your sadness is a great practice to get into.
Eat better. Every day now, for about ten years, I have had a smoothie for breakfast or lunch, with orange juice or soy milk, banana, kale or spinach, blueberries and wheat germ. I've added various supplements over the years but right now my faves are matcha, protein powder and a greens superfood powder. Is it amazingly good for you? Yes. Does this sound disgusting? Yes. Does it taste disgusting? NO. (The juice and berries overtake the other flavors, no lie.) I also really try not to eat much junk food, instead snacking on almonds or dark chocolate covered berries.
Rest. If my body needs a nap, I now take one, no guilt. I read that 26 minutes is the ideal, and no joke, ever since I heard that, when I lay down, I don't even need an alarm…I'm up in 26 minutes or less. However, you don't want to nap too long or too late in the day as it might interfere with your nighttime rest. And a tip that has worked wonders for me for sleeping through the night and waking up rested – a tip we've all heard – is a consistent bedtime and wake time. I was all over the place with both of these, but the past six months, I have lined up with my husband's bedtime and wake-up schedule and it's helped tremendously.
Exercise. Okay, so, I don't really exercise. That's not true. I exercise-light. I do a few minutes of stretches in the mornings and when it's nice out, I go for a walk or bike ride. So, during the fall/winter blah months, we have an elliptical that I'm telling myself I.WILL.USE. However, what works best for me is a few minutes of dancing (and loud singing) with my earbuds in. Instant mood-booster, I promise.
Stay connected. Though I try to see one person I love socially each week, the weather can make us turn inward a bit, or at least can deter us from getting ourselves out in the world. So I'm sure I text my husband and friends and kids more during the indoor months, which is a great way to keep connected.
It's normal. Finally, realize that feeling blah and being blah isn't the end of the world, that they're just feelings. Show yourself grace and gentleness. Remind yourself that Spring will come again and this season will pass. And if it doesn't or if you think it's more than just the winter blues, consult your doctor for a check-up and make an appointment to talk with a counselor.
