Q: unable to connect connection No operations allowed after connection closed. error in Tomcat 7 Here I have the problem in connection issues.
I have a web service deployed in Tomcat 7. In the web service, I am using Filter and in the init(), method I am calling connection.
public static Connection connection = null;

    @Override
        public void init(FilterConfig config) throws ServletException {
        connection = ConnectionFactoryJndi.getConnection();
        }

Now I am using the same connection object throughout the application. Thus in this way I am creating only one connection and executing sql query. It is running fine. But when I am accessing the service url; it is giving error "unable to connect; no operation after connection closed" I am also set maxWait="28800000" that is 8 hours;  maximum duration.
My question is how to keep it open throughout. or when I accessed the url it should not give the same error and able to connect automatically. I am using MySql.
Here is the server.xml conf -
  <Resource
        name="jdbc/xxxxx"
        auth="Container"
        type="javax.sql.DataSource"
        maxActive="200"
        maxIdle="30"
        maxWait="28800000"
        username="xxx"
        password="xxxxx"
        driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
        url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/xxxxx" />

In the class ConnectionFactoryJndi class -
public Connection createConnection() {
Connection connection = null;
try {
try {
envContext = new InitialContext();
} catch (NamingException e) {
}
Context initContext = null;
try {
initContext = (Context) envContext.lookup("java:/comp/env");
} catch (NamingException e) {
}
DataSource datasource = null;
try {
datasource = (DataSource) initContext.lookup("jdbc/xxxxxx");
} catch (NamingException e) {
System.out.println("Name not found");
}
connection = datasource.getConnection();
} catch (SQLException e) {
System.out.println("ERROR: Unable to Connect to Database.");
}
return connection;
}

Please suggest best practices.
Thanks.

A:
I am using the same connection object throughout the application

This won't work. You should be using a connection pool. Or else you have to do two things yourself that a connection pool would automatically avoid:

*

*Ensure liveness of the connection every time you use it, and

*Ensure single-threaded use of the connection, which completely destroys the performance of your server.

Don't do this. Use the Tomcat connection pool. It's easy.

A: from the error that you have given here it seems that the connection is bring closed by the application. the error no operation after connection closed could really mean that something in your application is closing it. Without the logs it would be difficult to diagnose whats causing the problem.

The correct way to use a connection pool is to borrow a connection every time you need it. Never store a reference to the connection in you own class as a singleton or a static field. This is because the pool may recycle the connection after sometime and you will end up with a valid connection object which is shutdown. This may be the reason of your problems too. The right way to do it is as follows:
ResultSet rs = null;
try {
    try {
        connection = ConnectionFactoryJndi.getConnection(); //always do this everytime you need a conenction.
        statement = connection.createStatement();
    } catch (SQLException e) {
        log.error("Error in Client DAO class (unable to connect connection) "
                + e.getMessage());
        // e.printStackTrace();
    }
    try {
        if(statement != null){
            rs = statement.executeQuery(query);
        }else{
            //log error and return or throw exception
        }
    } catch (SQLException e) {
        log.error("Error in Client DAO class (unable to Execute Query ) "
                + e.getMessage());
        // e.printStackTrace();
    }

    try {
        if(rs != null){
            while (rs.next()) {
                client = new ClientTO();
                client.setClientId(rs.getInt("clientid"));
                client.setClientUrl(rs.getString("clienturl"));
                client.setClientSecurityKey(rs
                        .getString("clientserviceapiKey"));

                clientList.add(client);
            }
        }else{
            //log error and return or throw exception
        }
    } catch (SQLException e) {
        log.error("Error in Client DAO class ( Error in iteration ) "
                + e.getMessage());
        // e.printStackTrace();
    }
} finally {
    //close rs
    //close statement
    //never close a conenction

What's In A Name: The Mercedes SL
Big Motoring World
The Mercedes-Benz SL was one of the early pioneers of truly luxurious motoring. Taking all of what made the Mercedes saloons of the time great, the SL had a new and exciting edge, a machine unlike any other.
Like many Mercedes models, the model designations have been around for decades and the SL is one of Mercedes' longest-running monikers after the likes of the S-Class and G-Wagen. In constant production since 1954, the SL name stands for Sportlich-Leicht, which when translated into English means Sport Lightweight.
This designation formed the basis of these cars very DNA, a comfortable, yet powerful and refined grand tourer. Coming in both coupe and convertible variants the SL had an instant edge and proved to be a capable machine whether cruising with the roof down or eating through the miles on a long drive, naturally, the SL quickly made an impression.
The very first iteration of the SL came in the guise of the 300 SL Gullwing. A car that oozes elegance, the SL 300 Gullwing is a beautiful machine and captures the imagination of anyone who sets their eyes on it. As popular today, as it was back in the '50s the 300 SL, features unmistakable Gullwing doors and owes its name to this fact. One of the few cars that can be considered a true automotive icon.
After the likes of the 300 SL, the design philosophy started to change, whilst the ultimate recipe remained the same. The early '60s saw the second generation. A machine that was far more angular than it's predecessor, the 230 SL featured more curved style 'greenhouse' windows and a detachable rooftop, of which it's profile quickly gave the 230 SL the 'Pagoda' nickname thanks to the shape of this feature.
These first two iterations of the SL are the halcyon days of the SL, however, whilst fashions and trends may have changed, the SL has continued to be a popular fixture on the Mercedes Benz product portfolio.
In 2019 Mercedes Benz is onto the sixth generation of the SL and features the distinctive Mercedes Benz styling that extends across the contemporary range. Retaining the early DNA, the SL is still very much the luxury grand tourer and received a subsequent facelift in 2017. Alongside the standard model variants, the SL has also been on the receiving end of some Mercedes AMG treatment with some more powerful variants becoming available for sale.
Whatever your requirements, at Big Motoring World we are delighted to stock a range of Mercedes Benz models. From the technologically advanced S-Class through to the A-Class and SL series, at Big Motoring World you'll find a great selection of quality used cars. Please click here to visit our website.

Fashion statements: It's official: James Franklin merch is hitting stores in downtown State College. Among the new designs, inspired largely by social media: "Franklion" tees, and gear emblazoned with some of Franklin's most memorable quotes, including "Dominate the State." Managers from The Family Clothesline and Lion's Pride tell The Daily Collegian that the response to the Franklin items has been "very good," and that new designs are already in the works.
On Key: You don't have to convince me that Keegan-Michael Key '96g is one of the most creative people on the planet. I interviewed Key back in November for an upcoming feature in the March/April issue, and more than making me laugh (though he did that — a lot), he also made me think. That smart brand of comedy landed Key and co-star Jordan Peele the no. 18 spot on FastCompany's list of 2013's Most Creative People. The article delves into the duo's writing process, which is both surprisingly simple and incredibly intelligent.
From Hand to mouth: Penn State's new offensive line coach Herb Hand had no idea that a simple tweet about his lunch would start an all-out firestorm. Coach Hand (@CoachHand) made a pitstop yesterday afternoon at Canyon Pizza for a slice and shared his whereabouts on Twitter (above). Local pizza purists shot back with comments questioning Hand's choice and offering, shall we say, "suggestions" on where he might find better pizza in State College. (Onward State collected some of the most colorful tweets here.) Hand's response: "I see a pizza throw down in the near future."

![the forkerator](https://github.com/drewrothstein/forkerator/raw/master/errata/forkerator.png)

Managing forked packages and configuration is difficult as your infrastructure grows. You can try to analyze your configuration management AST, maybe you are lucky and have a configuration DB, or maybe you only have a handful of forked packages or custom init scripts and they are easy to track. If you are like me this is generally not true and there is a bunch of sprawl, a bunch of disparate Linux distributions and there is no configuration DB to query.

The purpose of Forkerator is to provide a really small and easy to modify forked package and configuration auditor. It uses two YAML files to track *approved* upstream repositories and *approved* forked packages. The intent is that if a package is not in an approved repository or approved forked packages list (by name and version) that you *want* to know about it.

This is not meant to be a huge and robust system. It is setup to run on modern CentOS and Ubuntu with limited dependencies and will not work with other distributions at this time but feel free to send over a PR if you are interested in adding more support.

## Requirements

* Python: >=2.7 or >= 3.3
* YAML: `PyYAML`
  * `yum install python34-PyYAML` (for Python 3)
  * `apt-get install python3-yaml` (for Python 3)
  * `pip install pyyaml`
* CentOS or Ubuntu (it will raise `NotImplementedError` if run on another system)

## Configuration

* `config.yaml`: List of *approved* upstream repositories where you will ignore all packages from them.
* `approvals.yaml`: List of *approved* forked packages, categories, and versions.

Examples of both are included.

Note: On CentOS, I have included `anaconda` since that is the installation repository.

### config.yaml

Approved upstream repositories.

```yaml
upstream_repos:
  - anaconda
  - http://centos.mirror.ndchost.com/7.3.1611/updates/x86_64/
  - http://mycoolinternalmirror.xyz
```

### approvals.yaml

Approved package names, versions, and category of the fork (eg. init scripts, configration, whole package).

```yaml
approved_forks:
  foobar.x86_64:
    version: 1.2.3
    category: Configuration
  python34.x86_64:
    version: 3.4.12-4.el7
    category: Init Scripts
  my-cool-package:
    version 1.2.4
```
* The package name should match the system.
* A `version` is *required* for each package listed.
* The `category` is whatever you would like, is entirely arbitrary and *optional*.

## Installing

Copy or place in your favorite `cron` entry, maybe to send you a scheduled email.

## Behavior

1. System repository iteration.
2. Installed package iteration.
3. Filtering for upstream approved repositories.
4. Filtering for approved forked packages with matching versions.

### System repository iteration

All system repository short names that packages refer to them as are expanded to the full URL for the distribution.

### Installed package iteration

All packages that are installed are listed.

### Filtering for upstream approved repositories

If the repository for a package is configured in `config.yaml`, the package is filtered out since you have implicitly approved it by approving the repository.

### Filtering for approved forked packages with matching versions

If the package has not matched the repository filter than this filter will be attempted. If the package is configured in `approvals.yaml` with a matching name *and* version it will be filtered out.

## Running

```sh
$ python3 forkerator.py -h
usage: forkerator.py [-h] [-c] [-sc]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -c, --category        include category output
  -sc, --sort-by-category
                        sort by category instead of package
```

Example output for an unapproved repository:
```sh
$ python3 forkerator.py

Unconfigured Upstream Repos and/or Unapproved Packages

With the official release of Internet Explorer 7 (and perhaps Firefox 2), you may find yourself wanting to uninstall the IE7 beta, but you get a message that tells you to log in as the same user who installed the product originally in order to uninstall. If you're like me and have a tendency to muck about with users, that might be a lot easier said than done. Luckily, there is an answer.
Towards the end of August, I wrote about our experience with Blockbuster Rewards. I'm sad to say that this has not improved much. But I do have some interesting news to report. I can't yet say if I've cracked the code, but during the month of September, I was able to make some progress, and we came home with the coupon that allows us to get a free rental during the month of October. Now we just need to see if we can keep track of the thing and remember to take it back next month. So without further ado, a quick refresher, and then how you can try and get yours.

Office of Secretary of State Joins Financial Security Experts for Second COVID Fraud Teletown Hall
The Office of Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger joined with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Atlanta Regional Office and the Federal Trade Commission Southeast Regional Office to bring Georgians a free and educational teletown hall titled, "Avoiding Financial Scams: COVID-19 and Beyond." The free event took place on Wednesday, July 22, 2020 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. EST.
Now more than ever, scammers are actively looking for ways to manipulate vulnerable investors and are using COVID-19 to prey on fear. This town hall raised awareness of the hallmarks of scams and the new and innovative ways con artists are exploiting the pandemic.
"Criminals are getting more creative every day. From fake coronavirus small business loans to misleading or fraudulent investment opportunities, every vulnerable Georgian is at risk of losing money," said Raffensperger. "I am proud to work with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Trade Commission to help inform and protect Georgians from COVID-19 fraud."
Speakers for the Wednesday event included Richard R. Best, Regional Director for the SEC Atlanta; Noula Zaharis, Director of the Georgia Secretary of State Securities and Charities Division; and Anna Burns, Regional Director for FTC Southeast Regional Office. The event was moderated by Donna Lowry, Host of GPB's Lawmakers.
"We are happy to provide these virtual financial scams seminars to the people of Georgia," said Zaharis. "We encourage all Georgians to be vigilant and learn how to spot common tricks con artists use to steal from investors."


Ubisoft Forums > 1C:Maddox Games > IL2 Maddox General Discussion > Why was Finnish Hurricane even included in this game??
View Full Version : Why was Finnish Hurricane even included in this game??
Anyway, you'll get a wonderful flyable Galdiator with the forthcoming pay add-on.
Because of high demand for play in many campaigns and can use in many nationals. Oleg though it will be more popular and sell well in world market. I agree with you that we should have other plane like Fokker XXI that saw lot of combat in first year of Winter War. Also B-239 are much more fun to play as it was so famous in FAF in whole campaigns.
And we got the Russian Hurricanes so, it was very simple to implement the finnish one too. AND it made real BoB missions possbile. The BoB was won with Hurricane's Mk I. Not MkIIb or c or the spitfire's. It was the Hurricane all along.
It was of course not Mr Olegs idea mainly to equip the finn side but the russian. They had hurricanes ( and spitfires), thats why.
- Hurricane's Mk I. Not MkIIb or c or the spitfire's.
- It was the Hurricane all along.
Oh That's one I forget about Russian have Hurricane with extra variants. Score for you!
they put that plane because it was easy to model as other models were included, so they thought why not.
Deathsledge, what are you talking about?? I see no post where any of us think that the Finnish can't be flown.
I'm flying a campaign in it now. Also, it's no longer hard to fight in it, as I even have campaigns set to hard in my conf.ini file. You might not have tried a career in it since 1.11, as it's much easier to survive in it now. I have even been able to down six I-16s!!!! Much more effective these days.
Pity about the Moranes. Having them flyable would be very cool.
- six I-16s!!!! Much more effective these days.
It got a bit easier now. Since 1.2beta the I-16 damage model has been fixed a bit and they are now easier to gun down.
Just because they did not receive that many kills does not mean they were not used.. I think im glad it was included in the game for Finns.. and BTW there were few captured hurricans also, such as MKIIB which was used successfully against it's previous owners..
Nice to hear you said! Because, I am tired of everyone whine as want fly best plane like P-51D and Ta-152 as you like to try less performance planes.
Why a finn hurricane? cause its a minor change to the exterior model to make it from other models included. Cockpit is no different from the other hurricanes and that saves alot of trouble. The Fokker didnt get included because the 3rd party guy who was making it at the time fell through on his promise to actually make it. Not olegs fault really.
plane. Don't get me wrong, I kinda like those some too though.
Of course I'll be glad for the Spitfires, Mustangs and Mystery Nazi Planes to come, but I would really, really, really love to have the more unknown planes: The Fokkers, the Italian birds, all the forgotten planes of forgotten battles.
Last time I dared to voice that opinion, I was instantly flamed and told that I was ungrateful and unappreciative of the great job modelers are doing. No, I'm not. I just wish some of them would look at the lesser known planes.
Dont know bout you gents, but i enjoy flying the early war birds much more than the 44'-45' plane sets. Especially online, as there are no acceptable bombers to be used against the likes of the La-7 or 109 G with gun pods.
Surprisingly, I am more excited about the early Spits and Italian planes than i am about the P-51 or Ta-152. I know I am going to love BoB when it comes out for sure!
- 109 G with gun pods.
Yep, same thing here. My favourite Bf-109 is actually the Emil. And in a recent campaign I had a blast in the I-16.
war planes vs other late war planes?
It's not like I'll by flying the Dora or Ta152 against your dumb fokker or gladiator you know.
- easier to gun down.
-- easier to gun down.
You think that bullet proof planes are realistic???

BBC NEWS | UK | England | Derbyshire | Bystander saves canal crash baby
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/derbyshire/7364293.stm
Pat Baker, 54, has rescued a 13-month-old baby from a canal after her mother's car collided with another vehicle. He dived into the water to save the child after the mother said her daughter was trapped in the car near Barrow-on-Trent, Derbyshire.
Mr Baker, a Rolls-Royce maintenance engineer from Stenson Fields, Derby, swam underwater and managed to open the car door at the second attempt.
"I finally got the door open and got inside where it was absolutely black as it was submerged in water. I located the leg of the child but it didn't want to come as it was in a baby seat," he said.
"I undid the clamp and the child came out – but I didn't think she was alive."

Bayless teacher one of 33 nationwide to receive $25,000 Milken Award

A Bayless Elementary School teacher was awarded one of education's most prestigious honors, the $25,000 Milken Educator Award, at a surprise school assembly Wednesday morning featuring guests such as First Lady of Missouri Teresa Parson and Commissioner of Elementary and Secondary Education Margie Vandeven.
Therese Shain, a special-education teacher at Bayless Elementary, was presented the award by Milken Family Foundation Chairman and Co-Founder Lowell Milken and Vandeven.
She is the only Milken Educator Award winner from Missouri this year and is among only 33 honorees nationally to receive the prestigious award.
"To quote Ralph Waldo Emerson, 'The secret in education is respecting the student,'" said Milken. "Therese Shain is living this truth by helping students with challenges craft their own unique and highly effective paths to learning. We are proud to welcome her as a Milken Educator."
Shain has taught at Bayless for a decade and has served as a check-in and check-out mentor, meeting with students daily to go over their goals and success strategies, and offer them praise and encouragement. She teaches a social skills group as well as reading, writing and math groups. Shain's students have met more than 90 percent of their reading goals, 80 percent of their writing goals and 80 percent of their math goals.
"As a special-education teacher, Therese helps her students reach through their challenges and have a voice in their learning," said Vandeven. "She is an example of the type of effective educator every child deserves. I congratulate her on this outstanding achievement."
Shain earned her undergraduate degree in elementary and special education from the University of Missouri-St. Louis in 2004 and her master's degree in educational counseling and psychology from the University of Missouri at Columbia in 2007.
In addition to her role as a teacher, she has served on the special-education area leadership team, Positive Behavioral Intervention Strategies teams, school leadership team and a professional-development committee. She also mentors new teachers and works with fellow educators on their behavior plans.
"Therese Shain is a teacher's teacher, an accomplished educator," said Ron Tucker, Bayless Schools superintendent. "Her goal each day is to provide her students with effective instruction in a very caring classroom. She does this with little fanfare and simply loves to teach. She is very deserving of this recognition."
In addition to directly working with students to help them create and manage their own educational goals, Shain works closely with individual classroom instructors and mentors young special-education teachers. She also speaks with her students' parents weekly to keep them informed.
Milken Educators are selected early to mid-career for their achievements and what they have yet to achieve. In addition to the unrestricted $25,000 prize and recognition, Shain will get membership into the National Milken Educator network, a group of more than 2,7000 teachers, principals and specialists who have received the award.
The 2018-2019 recipients, including Shain, will attend a forum in New Orleans in March for the opportunity to network with former Milken Award recipients and hear from state and federal officials.
The very first Milken Educator Awards were presented by the Milken Family Foundation in 1987, 31 years ago. Since then, more than $138 million in funding, including $68 million in $25,000 awards, has been dedicated to the Awards initiative. The Awards alternate yearly between elementary and secondary educators and unlike most educator recognition awards, educators cannot apply for a Milken Educator Award and don't even know they may be under consideration.
Missouri joined the Milken Educator Awards program in 1996 and since then, 48 educators in the state have received the honor with a combined $1,2250,000 awarded in Missouri.

Tired of staring at blank walls, but your indecisiveness is "paralyzing" you from hanging anything specific on those said walls?! You're not alone.
Here are three ways that you can add big impact to your walls without having to "commit" to anything permanent. These solutions are perfect for renters, or for those of us finicky types who like to periodically change things up!
Hang a patterned or colorful quilt, blanket, or fabric, to create an instant wall hanging.
...or build a "frame" and mount the textile to it, like we did below!
Treat washi tape like removable decals! Unleash your creativity and create a geometric or abstract design on the wall using washi tape.
Another way to use washi tape is to "hang" your photographs or artwork with it. Don't bother with picture frames. You'll achieve a more casual and fluid look that can evolve over time. The best part about using washi tape is that your walls will go virtually unscathed!
I am personally on team wallpaper, with the caveat that it must be temporary! That is merely because I like to experiment in my own home, which means I often change things up. The only permanent wallpaper that I would perhaps make an exception for is grasscloth. The texture is timeless.
Repositionable, peel-and-stick (aka removable) wallpaper is a great solution to dress up your walls or other surfaces. Bolder patterns, like the one we used in our dining room makeover, are perfect for focal walls. They are able to stand alone with nothing else layered on top! If you don't want to paper an entire wall, decals are a great option!
Hope you've been inspired to finally tackle those blank walls!

Літак скороченого зльоту і посадки (скорочено ЛСЗП,  — short take-off and landing) — звичайний літальний апарат із нерухомим крилом, що вимагає коротку злітно-посадкову смугу. За визначенням прийнятим у США та НАТО, літак вважається скороченого зльоту та посадки, якщо довжина смуги, необхідної для його зльоту та посадки, не перевищує 450 м.

Багато літаків, розроблених як ЛСЗП, також мають різні пристрої для використання на аеродромах із суворими умовами (такими як велика висота над рівнем моря або льодове покриття).

Проєктні міркування

Багато літальних апаратів скороченого зльоту та посадки із фіксованим крилом не мають особливих вимог до ЗПС, хоча деякі, як de Havilland Canada Dash-7, призначені для використання на підготовлених злітно-посадкових смугах. Автожири також мають функцію скороченого зльоту та посадки, потребуючи короткого крену, щоб піднятися в повітря, але здатні майже нульового крену під час посадки.

Необхідна довжина злітно-посадкової смуги є функцією квадрата мінімальної швидкості польоту (швидкості звалювання), і більшість проєктних зусиль витрачається на зменшення цього числа. Для зльоту велике співвідношення потужності/ваги та низький опір повітря допомагають літаку прискорюватися для польоту. Посадковий розбіг мінімізується сильними гальмами, низькою посадковою швидкістю, реверсорами тяги або інтерцепторами (рідше). Загальні показники ЛСЗП визначаються довжиною злітно-посадкової смуги, необхідної для посадки або зльоту, залежно від того, що з них довше.

Зазвичай ЛСЗП має відносно велике крило як для своєї ваги. У цих крилах часто використовуються аеродинамічні пристрої, такі як закрилки, висувки, предкрилки та вихрові генератори. Як правило, розробка літального апарату для відмінних характеристик зменшує максимальну швидкість, але не зменшує здатність підйому корисного вантажу. Корисне навантаження має вирішальне значення, оскільки багато невеликих ізольованих громад покладаються на ЛСЗП як на єдине транспортне сполучення із зовнішнім світом для пасажирів або вантажів. Приклади включають багато громад на півночі Канади та на Алясці.

Більшість ЛСЗП можуть приземлятися як в аеропорту, так і поза ним. Типові зони посадки поза аеропортом включають сніг або лід (з використанням лиж), поля або гравійні береги річок та воду (з використанням поплавців): ці зони часто дуже короткі та закриті високими деревами або пагорбами.

MATAO NARROWLY FALLS TO P.I.
PRESS RELEASE – It was a predominantly a midfielders' duel in playmaking in the Matao's second meeting this year against the Azkals on opening day of the 2012 Philippines Football Peace Cup Tuesday at Rizal Memorial Stadium in Manila, Philippines.
With both teams finding limited opportunities near the goal, it would be the Philippines that would find the lucky shot to prevail 1-0 over Guam.
"We had our own opportunities to win the game," said Matao head coach Gary White. "I think it was a very competitive game up until the 80th minute … then there was a slight lack of focus on our side and miscommunication between our goalkeeper and central defender that cost us the game ultimately.
"But the spirit of the players showed – we've got 17- and 18-year-old boys out there … some flew in (Monday) night from Boston. It was a hell of a performance on our side, though we're disappointed that we lost," White added.
Patrick Alcala Reichelt scored his maiden goal for the Azkals off a header he side- flicked above Guam's Scott Leon Guerrero in the 80th minute following a corner-kick play. Guam's goalkeeper, Douglas Herrick, who was positioned behind Leon Guerrero on the play, was unable to stop the ball with his hands in time as it went over his head and into the goal.
Reichelt then led a parade of his teammates off the field to acknowledge his mother, who was only in Manila for one night and watched his game, in the stands.
"We were a little bit lucky," said Azkals head coach Michael Weiss. "I'm happy with the result, but I'm not so happy about the game.
"Honestly, in the second half it was sloppy in the first 20 to 30 minutes. Guam was pressing us high up and we were very slow in building up … Also, the players who came in did not really strengthen the squad. They had difficulty in adjusting with the speed – this type of competition is different from training," Weiss added.
On separate occasions, Guam's Jason Cunliffe, Jonahan Romero and Ryan Guy were able to bring the ball into the attacking third and send the Azkals' defense scurrying, but the team was unlucky with finishes near the goal. Marcus Lopez had one of Guam's best opportunities in the first half, finding an open space for himself near the goal, but his shot cleared the crossbar – just barely – and landed on top of the net.
"It's a tough loss," said Cunliffe, Matao captain. "It was definitely a good game though – a lot better than in June.
"(The difference) is belief … stepping out on a pitch now, we believe we can win anytime we play," Cunliffe added.
The Matao first played against the Azkals on June 12 this year in a FIFA-friendly match at Panaad Stadium in Bacolod. Facing one of the Azkals' strongest squads that glittered with high-level professional players, Guam allowed three goals in the first half, but kept the same players scoreless in the second half.
In the tournament's other opening day game, Chinese Taipei settled for a draw against Macau. Guam next plays Chinese Taipei on Thursday at 4 p.m. Manila time at Rizal Memorial Stadium. The Azkals then take to the pitch at 7:30 p.m. against Macau in the second day of competition in the four-nation tournament.
The tournament concludes Saturday, with Guam facing Macau at 4 p.m. Manila time and the Azkals going up against former tournament hosts, Chinese Taipei at 7:30 p.m. Manila time.
Earlier this year, Guam defeated Macau 3-0 to advance to the semifinal round of the East Asian Football Championships, scheduled for December this year. The Matao will get an early test against one of their EAFF tournament opponents – Chinese Taipei – Thursday. Other opponents in the EAFF tournament are Hong Kong, North Korea and Australia. Australia currently is ranked No. 25 in the world and will be the highest-ranked team in the semifinal round of the EAFF tournament.


Killeen Animal Control Officers responded to the 4500 block of Lonesome Dove on April 6, 2014 in reference to a dog that had been scratched by a skunk. The skunk was captured and per protocol it was processed for testing at the Texas Department of State Health Service, Austin Laboratory.
The Texas Department of State Health Services notified the Killeen Animal Control Unit on April 8, 2014 that the skunk had tested positive for the rabies virus.
Animal Control Officers will be distributing handouts in the area of Lonesome Dove to ensure the residents of that area are aware of this incident, the potential danger that has been identified and have a chance to prepare.
This notice is to inform the citizens that a rabid skunk was found in the Lonesome Dove area of Killeen in Bell County. All residents should be aware of their surroundings and closely watch for any unusual wild animal activity. There have been three skunks identified in Bell County between January 2014 and April 3, 2014 and confirmed positive with the rabies virus.

2012 – Tulis School Celebrates 20 Years!
While every season at Roman Tulis is special, this one happens to be exceedingly so – September 4th, 2012 marked the start of our 20th year as a soccer school!
Over the last 20 years our players have accepted Roman's challenge to be the best they could be, and as a result have achieved some amazing things; it is up to the young players who start their training at our field this season to continue pushing themselves so that Roman's soccer dream can live on.
We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has been a part of this amazing process over the last two decades and look forward to offering many more years of excellence to Vancouver's brightest young soccer stars.
Burnaby Multisport Center Renamed "Fortius Athlete Development Centre"
Roman Tulis School's home field at Burnaby's premier sports centre (the Multisport Centre of Excellence) is undergoing a name change. The centre will officially open in the spring of 2013 as the Fortius Athlete Development Centre.
Pictured on the Tulis home field; (left to right) Bob Lenarduzzi, Scott Cousens, Maryann Lennox, Trevor Linden, Nicole Tulis, Danka Tulis and Caedyn Lennox attend a news conference on the site of the nearly completed $61 million athlete development center in Burnaby on Sept 12th, 2012.
Scott Cousens, former Tulis parent and chair of Fortius Sport and Health, has given the gift of sport in the form of a $23-million donation in order to complete construction on the Fortius Athlete Development Centre. The centre will house everything from athlete accommodation to sports-medicine facilities, as well as being home to the new Tulis dressing room, lounge, and office.
On behalf of athletes everywhere, the Roman Tulis European Soccer School of Excellence would like to offer our most sincere thanks to Scott and his team.

U-12 Boys ~ "CUP NO.1" CHAMPIONS!
July – 2012 – In what was a tightly contested, high scoring match, the Roman Tulis European Soccer School of Excellence's U-12 boys emerged victorious at the 2012 "Cup No. 1" tournament in Denmark.
The Tulis U-12 boys would be the only team carrying the hallowed Maple Leaf in the opening ceremony parade of the "Cup No. 1" tournament in Frederikshavn, Denmark. Sandwiched between teams from Brazil and Colombia (teams were ordered alphabetically), the U-12's did their nation proud. Between some cheeky European chants and the national anthem, they made sure that everyone knew who we were. Heading to bed that evening, I think many of the boys grasped for the first time what an amazing opportunity they had in front of them.
The next morning the jet lagged Tulis boys opened the tournament against a team from Strandby, Denmark. After going down a goal early in a nervy start vs. this Danish team, the boys recovered to open their campaign with a 3-1 win. The following day the Tulis team breezed past local side Bangsbo Freja 5-0 and that afternoon they secured their spot atop the group with an emphatic 8-0 victory over Uraedd FK of Norway. Then building on the momentum, they took Scandinavia by storm in their final group stage games.
The U12 Tulis team was now into the semi-finals. Set to face a perennially strong Bremerhaven side. The boys needed to draw upon their many years of Tulis training to progress to the finals. In a tightly contested match that saw chances for both teams, the Canadian boys managed to slot home 10 minutes from time, providing what turned out to be the winning goal. Now just 50 minutes away from writing their names in the record books, the boys were doing everything they could to prepare themselves for a tough clash against hometown favourites, Frederikshavn FI.
The morning of the final match was a morning that every young soccer player dreams about – after a week of hard work and concentration, the Tulis boys had set themselves up for the chance to play for gold in a bona fide European final. Word of the classy Canadians had spread over the course of the week. For spells of the final match of the tournament it looked as though a Roman Tulis win was all but assured, but some creative attacking from the relentless Danish side kept everyone wondering until the final whistle blew. In the highest scoring match of their campaign so far, the Tulis boys worked until the end to produce a magnificent 6-3 display which secured not only the trophy, but the respect of everyone at the tournament who saw a team from Canada play like they belonged with Europe's elite.
Tulis' "Rising Stars"
When we think of famous soccer players, names like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo instantly come to mind. Or if we want to look a little bit closer to home, some of our more celebrated alumni like Terry Dunfield and Niall Cousens might be the stars you look up to. But lost among the noise are those just starting their soccer journey and trying to make a name for themselves in a perennially cutthroat environment.
"Niall joined Slavia's U-19 team and made 23 appearances with 10 goals and 7 assists and was promoted to the reserve team where he played matches and also trained with the first team. He was promoted to the reserve team where he played matches and also trained with the first team."
It's become almost cliché to say that youth soccer in Canada is on the brink of something special, but with this latest crop of youngsters we may finally see the promise fulfilled. Spearheading the next generation are a fair few "junior alumni" from our school – players who have moved on at an early age to join the academies of professional soccer clubs.
A few years ago, Gianni Patino left our school to join the famed Barcelona youth academy. Since then, we've had several players follow suit by way of being invited to join the Whitecaps' new "Residency" and "Pre-Residency" programs. The latest Tulis players to join are Jonas Hakkinen, Matthew Miki, Patrick Ainge, Miles Gailiunas, Alessandro Hojabrpour, Evan Ince, Eryk Kobza, Niko Papakyriakopolous, and Tristan Torresan. Of those mentioned, two joined us on this summer's highly successful European tour as team captain Patrick Ainge and goalkeeper Evan Ince brought home gold from the Dana Cup No.1 in Denmark and finished ahead of 107 teams from around the world in Sweden's Gothia Cup.
Equally impressive were the exploits of Miles, Alessandro, Tristan, and Niko, who were selected to represent Western Canada in the 2012 edition of the Danone Nations Cup. Unfortunately, the Western Canadian team lost their playoff match against Eastern Canada, thus failing to advance to the showcase tournament in Poland; however, Tristan's inspired performance in that deciding match earned him an invite to join the Eastern team on their trip. Tristan was also involved in the BC Summer Games along with fellow Tulis players Jonathan Unger and Ross Henderson where the trio finished second to a strong team including another Tulis player, Niko Papakyriakopolous.
It is important for young players reading this to note that most of the players we've mentioned are only 12 years old – and that what they have already achieved is in the immediate future for many of you if you're willing to put in the work. But success in the long term – for these players or anyone else – is by no means guaranteed. The only way to give rising stars a chance to shine on the world's biggest stages is to make a long term commitment to Roman's philosophy: "Be The Best You Can Be".
Tracking Tulis Alumni Around the Globe ~ 2012
Marcus Haber Marcus enjoyed a solid second half of the season with St. Johnstone of the Scottish Premier League. Holding his own in one of the world's elite leagues, the Tulis graduate played a large part in his club's respectable finish as he guided them to a coveted Europa League spot. While he didn't manage to hit the goal streak that has so far followed him throughout his blossoming career, his work off the ball created opportunities for his teammates and gave opposing defenders the most unpleasant of dreams. So great was his play that it earned him a contract with English League 1 side Stevenage FC where he has contributed with a plethora of goals and assists over the first half of the current season. Haber also played a key part in Canada's attempt to qualify for the Olympics, and although the team fell just short, Marcus can be proud to have scored his 5th goal for the maple leaf against the powerhouse Mexicans in their final match.
Terry Dunfield To say that the first half of 2012 has been tough for Dunfield and his Toronto teammates would be putting it lightly; and the pressure now mounted on Canada's first MLS franchise is anything but. After a dreadful start to the season in which Dunfield was one of the rare glimmers of hope for the squad, TFC look to be mounting an effort to prove to the rest of the league that they are a much stronger side than their record suggests. Now under the direction of a new coach, Terry says that he's "…excited…" about their prospects and will look at the new season as an opportunity to kick-start Canada's first MLS franchise.
Paige Adams A lot has happened to the four-time School Girl since the university school-year ended just a few short months ago. After returning to full fitness with the University of Wisconsin Badgers, Paige has decided to return to the city where it all began as she became a marquee signing for a new-look Women's Whitecaps. Unfortunately the Whitecaps have chosen not to field a team in this upcoming season, so after Paige's brief stint back in Vancouver, she's crossed the border once more to finish her undergraduate career with the Badgers. This past fall, she led the team in a big way with 6 goals and 5 assists to her name, as well as a spot on the prestigious Academic All-Big Ten team for the third year in a row.
Kevin Harmse Kevin's rough, no-holds-barred style of play has earned him quite a few unsavoury nicknames from opposition fans; this year, however, he's earned himself a new nickname: "Captain Fantastic". Drawing on years of MLS and international experience, Harmse has led the way for the San Antonio Scorpions as the franchise's first ever captain. As the NASL starts to heat up (literally and figuratively) in the coming months, he will look to continue inspiring his troops in the hopes of repeating last season's successful campaign. After finishing first in the league and narrowly missing out on playoff glory, Kevin and the Scorpions will move into a brand new, soccer specific stadium in April that is fitting of the exciting brand of soccer they play.
Kaila Henley A new addition to the Tulis coaching staff, the two-time School Girl has just signed for SFU after a standout year featuring for Langara's women's team. Having earned a reputation as a tough defender with good ball control, Kaila will most certainly play a big role for the Clan as they venture into the perennially competitive NCAA.
Lucas Menz After a highly successful career in Vancouver with Quest University and the Vancouver Whitecaps Reserves, Tulis alumnus Lucas Menz has now broken into the highly competitive European soccer scene with Ebbsfleet United of the Conference National in England. Unique among soccer clubs in the UK, Ebbsfleet United is owned and operated by its supporters through an online community called "MyFootballClub". This means that the 6'2" goalkeeper had the support of over a thousand fans before he even pulled on his gloves for the club. And after putting in some strong performances when called upon, it is only a matter of time before he makes yet another leap in his budding professional career.
Mike Belle The ball might not be the same, but his commitment to excellence is as strong as ever; Tulis alumnus Mike Belle has traded field for fairway as he shines for Simon Fraser University's golf team. The same leadership qualities that made Mike a great soccer player have earned him the privilege of captaining the team. The long-time Tulis player has impressed since first appearing for SFU in NCAA golf: Among his many accolades are countless GNAC Golfer of the Week honours, a top 10 finish in the GNAC Conference Championships, and a second place finish at the University of Victoria Shootout.
The Roman Tulis European Soccer Medical School of Excellence
"Be The Best You Can Be" – there is no doubt that Roman's time-honored philosophy has produced many world class soccer players over the past 20 years. However, rarely applauded are those who have used this philosophy to find success off the pitch.
Roman advocated for his players to succeed in all areas of life, believing that excellence in sport meant nothing unless it was accompanied by an excellent attitude. Although Kim Cheema and Roman Tulis Jr. were great athletes, the attitudes they developed in Roman's school led them on an entirely different path than the typical Tulis star. Or should I say Dr. Cheema and Dr. Tulis?
Kim Cheema, former Tulis player and coach, graduated from SFU in June 2009 with a BSc in Kinesiology as class Valedictorian. And in May this year, she graduated medical school at the University of Calgary and embarked on a residency program in Internal Medicine at the university. While there is no doubt that Kim is a remarkable individual, she credits Roman for much of her success. "[He] provided me with much more than just guidance on the field," said Dr. Cheema, "Roman taught me the importance of dedication and work ethic in pursuing one's dreams." Roman had such a big influence on her life that he was the first person she called when she found out that she was accepted into medical school. Dr. Cheema continues, "I am confident that I would not be here if it was not for his support and the support of the entire RTESSE family over the past 13 years."
Roman Tulis Jr., 2001 School Boy and lifetime member of the Tulis clan, completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Illinois in Chicago, earning many accolades in the process. He then continued his education at the University of Alberta Medical School in Edmonton and completed his medical degree earlier this year. At this time, Dr. Tulis spends most of his time in hospitals in the Edmonton area as part of his two year residency program in Family Medicine. Despite his hectic schedule, he never misses an opportunity to jet back to Vancouver to watch over his Dad's school, electing to forego sleep for the chance to help the next generation of players "Be The Best [They] Can Be".
Varsity Victory
Amid the hype of professional soccer, it can be easy to overlook university sports. However, for many Tulis alumni, varsity athletics offer the perfect blend of intense competition and education.
Last month, UBC won the CIS men's soccer championship on the back of an undefeated season. Leading the way for the Thunderbirds were four Tulis alumni: Paul Clerc, long-time Tulis player; Kent O'Connor, 2004 School Boy and Hall of Fame inductee; Brandon Bonafacio, long-time Tulis player; and Sean Haley, 2008 School Boy.
SFU made history recently by being the first Canadian school to compete in the prestigious NCAA national championships. Not content with merely competing, however, the Clan fought their way to the final four of the American tournament, knocking off several big-name teams in the process. This playoff success came on the back of an impressive 19 win regular season, led by 2007 School Boy and current Tulis coach, Jovan Blagojevic.

Are You Ready To Be The Best You Can Be?


Palm oil is the most widely used vegetable oil in the world and comes from the fruit of oil palm trees.
Oil palms only grow in the tropics. The two main palm oil-producing countries are Indonesia and Malaysia. Growing demand has seen production double over the past 20 years, which has led to thousands of hectares of old, tropical forests chopped down to make way for palm tree plantations.
Why is palm oil used so widely?
Palm oil is incredibly versatile and used in a variety of products, from food to cosmetics, because it has no taste, is solid at room temperature and holds colour well. It is also a very efficient crop.
What does Dairy Crest use palm oil for?
We use a variety of vegetable oils in the manufacture of our spreads brands, including some sustainable palm oil. Palm oil is used because it has a neutral taste and smell. It is solid at typical fridge temperatures and gives the final product a smooth and creamy texture. Palm oil is also very low in trans fats (<1%) and lower in saturated fats than most alternatives, which is an important requirement from a health perspective.
What is Dairy Crest doing to address the environmental issues of palm oil?
We are working members of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), supporting the production and uptake of sustainable palm. RSPO covers the whole supply chain and our suppliers are also members.
All the palm oil we buy comes from RSPO-certified sustainable sources and our spreads production facility is fully certified against the RSPO certification standard – RSPO Principles and Criteria.
We work closely with our palm supplier which is active in building sustainable practices and transparency in the sector and throughout the supply chain. We meet with our supplier annually to assess its activities and those of its supply chain.
This approach is supported by The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and further information can be found here.
What do you mean by 'sustainable palm oil'?
Sustainable palm oil is palm that has been sourced in line with a set of environmental and social criteria developed by the RSPO.
One of the most important RSPO criteria states that no primary forests or areas which contain significant concentrations of biodiversity (e.g. endangered species) or fragile ecosystems, or areas which are fundamental to meeting basic or traditional cultural needs of local communities (high conservation value areas), can be cleared.
Other RSPO principles stipulate a significantly reduced use of pesticides and fires; fair treatment of workers according to local and international labour rights standards, and the need to inform and consult with local communities before the development of new plantations on their land. You can learn more about RSPO and sustainable palm oil here.
We can only claim that we use sustainable palm oil in our products because we are certified by an RSPO-approved independent auditor.
Why doesn't Dairy Crest use alternatives to palm oil?
Palm oil is extremely high yielding. Palm oils produce more oil per hectare of land than any other oil-producing crop. Although it represents 35% of the world's vegetable oil supply, it only requires 10% of the land. Possible replacements, such as coconut oil or shea butter, are only produced in small volumes and would require significantly greater land areas to match the output of palm. As global demand for plant-based oils is increasing, moving to alternative sources could therefore result in even greater harm to the environment. From a nutritional perspective, most alternatives are also higher in saturated fats.

Q: Reading txt file in python using list comprehension How can I return in python a word which has the same length as a word searched. For example, I am looking for a closest match for the word "three" in a list of ["three","tea","tree"] and I want to return the first occurence of the same length word.
I need to do it using generator or some list comprehensions as I have a really big set of data. Until now I have this function:
matches_list= dl.get_close_matches(word.lower(),list_of_words)
if matches_list:
      new_word= (w for w in matches_list if (len(word)==len(w)))
      print new_word.next()

Which prints just fine until the 4th or 5th iteration where I get this message error:
print new_word.next()
StopIteration

A: Use the next() function and supply a default:
new_word = (w for w in matches_list if len(word) == len(w))
print next(new_word, 'nothing found')

The StopIteration exception is raised because your generator reached the end without a (further) match. If you give a second argument to the next() function, then it'll catch that exception and return that second argument as a default instead.

Иона Борисович Берхин (1865—1889) — российский  и  еврейского происхождения.

Биография
Родился в 1865 году в городке Кричев Могилевской губернии. Рано потеряв отца, он воспитывался до 14 лет у деда, который передал ему большие познания в древнееврейском языке и литературе. Затем Берхин поступил в Горыгорецкое земледельческое училище, по окончании которого перешел в Минское реальное училище и уже на школьной скамье написал несколько статей по истории евреев. Для завершения образования Берхин поступил в Рижский политехникум, но в сентябре 1888 года был разбит параличом и для лечения поехал в Москву, где и умер в августе 1889 года.

Были опубликованы его работы: 1) Историческая заметка (о саббатианской секте), в «Восход», 1883 г., оп. 5—6; 2) Из давно минувшего. I. Андрей Боголюбский и еврей («Восход», книга 11—12); II. Род Багратуни; III. Род Аматуни («Восход», книги 11—12); 3) Еврейский документ о посольстве Святого Владимира для испытания веры («Киевская старина», 1884 г., кн. 12); 4) Сожжение людей в России XIII—XVIII вв.
