Three Ways to Be Happier About Work
Life By Brendon Schrader
Can three weird tricks make you happier about work? It may be that simple, says Theresa Glomb.
As the Toro Company-David M. Lilly Chair in the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota, Glomb studies what makes people happy at work, and how they can take charge of their own satisfaction in the workplace.
Glomb gave a TEDx talk about making work better, where she shared three tricks that can make you happier at work. These tips come from her team's research about our attitudes and ideas about work, and how we can manage them. After surveying workers several times a day over two to three weeks, they found that good things happen at work much more frequently than bad things, but that the bad things have a 5 to 10 times greater effect on people's moods than good things. To rebalance the effect good things can have, try these tips.
Write Down the Good Things
In one study, Glomb and her team tracked workers over three weeks. At the end of each work day, the workers wrote down three good things that happened that day, and why they happened. The stories were varied: A nurse sprang into action to help a seizure patient as a result of her training. A receptionist had a big laugh at lunch because she has close friends at work. A lab tech took blood from a frightened boy, but was able to soothe him by singing a song.
Glomb says the results were powerful: Workers who recorded and reflected on the good things at work also reported being less stressed, having fewer physical and mental complaints, and in some cases had lower blood pressure as a result. At the end of every day, Glomb recommends taking a moment to pause, reflect, and write down a few good things that happened to you at work, and why they happened. Doing so can keep you focused on the good things about your job.
How I Apply This Tip:
I have used this concept in my daily life by starting a journal. Journaling helps me reflect on the day, record lessons, and document daily accomplishments. I also use it to remember the small things in my daily life with my family. Keeping a journal can be very simple — start by keeping a daily planner and write down three bullets points from the day that you want to reflect on or remember.
Make Progress
Researchers looked at the times when workers reported high moods and dug into what made those moods so good. They found that a key driver of a good mood at work is making meaningful progress on your work tasks. The problem is, your work environment might not always support that — or it may even block it, Glomb says. And our work culture's embrace of multitasking actually makes it harder for people to make meaningful progress on tasks.
To create a work environment that feels less fractured, Glomb recommends that workers stay intentional about what they do. Instead of focusing on time management, she recommends focusing on "intention management" by asking yourself how you want to spend your time. Look for ways to get absorbed in your work by dedicating yourself to "unitasking" — focusing on a task for 30 minutes to actually get something done.
And try not to have long, unrealistic lists of "to dos" for each day. Instead, think about the one thing you can accomplish that day and just do it! Then move on. Glomb also recommends "parking downhill" by preparing resources before the start of your workday and planning what will happen. You might get the documents you need from email, or open the proposal you need to review so it's ready on your computer. Getting everything ready to tackle a task will allow you to get going quickly and pick up momentum. Another tip: Resist email first thing in the morning. Instead, tackle a work task.
Every morning, I start my day by setting a plan. I take the time to review the upcoming day and make a short, realistic list of objectives I must get done to feel accomplished. This simple exercise forces me to be purposeful about the day, as well as create focused work periods to complete tasks rather than get caught up in busy work (which is so easy to do, right?).
Research shows that helping others repairs a bad mood. Employees who were in a negative mood and then helped someone felt better. While a lot of work activity is about helping others directly or indirectly, workers may not always frame their work as helping others. Whether you're helping a client, friend, or even a stranger at the coffee shop, look for ways to recognize how your work either helps others directly or ties into a larger mission.
I've made it a point to share success stories of impact within my companies, both as they happen and when we have regular meetings. By creating a culture that shares these types of helping stories, and by publicly recognizing team members who help others, we're all more aware of how our daily work impacts people's lives. And that helps all of us feel happy about our work.
These tricks can go beyond the workplace, Glomb says. When she was diagnosed with cancer four years ago, these tips helped her stay focused. She uses a variation of them as a mantra for her kids when she drops them off at school for the day. She tells them: "Work hard. Have fun. Choose kind. Be present." In all cases, Glomb says choosing to be intentional about how you experience your day can make all the difference.
I always find it helpful to learn how others bring more focus and positive energy into their work days. As I work toward productivity and balance, I'll remember to "Work hard. Have fun. Choose kind. Be present."

Dolphin Deaths Off East Coast Worry Federal Wildlife Officials
By MICHAEL WINES
Federal wildlife officials raised a formal alarm on Thursday over the deaths of scores of bottlenose dolphins in waters off the east coast, saying that a fast-spreading infection could be attacking dolphin populations from New York to Virginia.
At least 124 of the mammals have washed onto beaches since July, all of them dead or dying, a spokeswoman for the National Marine Fisheries Service said in a conference call with journalists. In July alone, 89 dolphins were beached, seven times the usual number.
The agency, which is responsible for monitoring and protecting marine mammals, declared the deaths to be an "unusual mortality event," opening the way for federal help in finding the cause.
Experts said anyone who finds a stranded dolphin should not touch it, should keep pets away and should alert the authorities.
Tests on one dolphin carcass have uncovered possible signs of morbillivirus, an infection similar to canine distemper that ravaged East Coast dolphins over a 10-month span in 1987 and 1988. More than 700 dolphins were stranded from New Jersey to Florida during that outbreak, one of the worst on record.
But news reports state that other dolphins stranded this summer had pneumonia, and officials said that it could take weeks to pin down the precise cause, if one is found.
Unusual mortality events are declared when a marine mammal die-off is judged unexpected, large and in need of immediate attention. Investigators have failed to find a cause of death in roughly half the 60 mortality events declared since the first one in 1991.
This summer's strandings represent only a tiny slice of the four discrete populations of dolphins in the area. By the agency's best guess, nearly 20,000 of the animals live in separate southern and northern migratory groups near the coast, more than 81,000 live in deep waters off the continental shelf and a group of about 785 live in the Pamlico Sound off the coast of North Carolina.
Experts cannot say with certainty which populations have been hit by the deaths. There are undoubtedly more dead or sick animals at sea that have gone undetected, officials said.
The bulk of the deaths, at least 64, have occurred off the coast of Virginia. At least 18 strandings have been recorded in New York waters and 26 off New Jersey.

Review: Blazblue: Cross Tag Battle
Blazblue: Cross Tag Battle from Arc System Works is a really good game that combines multiple franchises into one pleasant and enjoyable package. Although the story isn't exactly meant for those who are not familiar with each particular franchise, the real meat and potatoes lie in the newly implemented tag system. Newcomers will not be daunted by Cross Tag Battle's control scheme, and it's overall a pretty good fighting game for PS4, Steam for PC, and Nintendo Switch.
The story in Blazblue: Cross Tag Battle is anything but award winning and happens to be a snooze-fest. That is, however, unless you're a fan of one of the implemented franchises, which the game includes 4: Blazblue, Persona, RWBY, and Under Night In-Birth. This skippable narrative includes eight chapters per franchise, each comprised of unique takes as to how a particular character from a different storyline warped into his or her world. Although this portion of the game is meant to appeal mostly to franchise fans, it did nothing for me, a complete and total outsider. This was a bummer and gave me no interest whatsoever. In fact, I found myself spamming the X-button at every possible moment in order to skip every single sentence of dialog, allowing for a completed story segment within roughly 20 minutes or so. Again, it's meant for franchise enthusiasts, but ultimately does nothing for those who just want to play a fighting game.
As the name suggests, Blazblue: Cross Tag Battle lets players swap between characters during combat and also gives them a chance to call for in-game assists as well. This particular mechanic appears to be similar to that of the Marvel vs. Capcom series. But calling for an assist, though quite effective when pulled off successfully during matches, is tethered to an assist bar. This bar, though it automatically refills over time, limits the assist calling and makes every opportunity to use it crucial. Although limited, it also brings a nice balance to every single fight. Gamers won't necessarily have an opportunity to spam assists over and over again, which can be quite boring and flat out annoying.
Much like other contemporary fighting games, like Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and King of Fighters 14, Blazblue: Cross Tag Battle has also taken a more simplistic approach to controls, as the player can easily deal damage and perform an impressive-looking combo by spamming a single button. This more intuitive approach to controls evens the playing field, which gives less experienced fighters a better chance of survival against fighting game purists. Although I certainly do not agree with this take on fighting game controls, it does, on the other hand,free time from countless hours of potential training and allows you to pick up, play, and enjoy within minutes.
Although characters vary in size and moveset, one noticeable annoyance with controls is that the player doesn't necessarily have the option to dash forward. Sure, dashing is available to players, however, this is mostly done while in the air. As a competitive fighting game enthusiast, I like to attack my opponent head-on and repeatedly. I would like the option to dash back and forward if possible. But in order for me to move quickly in either direction in Cross Tag Battle, I would have to jump in the air first, which is absurd. To be fair, Cross Tag Battle lets you run towards your opponent by simply holding the directional pad or fightstick to the desired location, but the lack of dashing was a constant source of frustration.
The soundtrack found in Blazblue: Cross Tag Battle is simply amazing, as it's completely filled with explosive electric guitars with fast picking rhythms and heavy metal distortion pedals. It's also varied in style as well, as some tracks consist of instrumental guitar music, while others include a more than adequate vocal section that is truly pleasant to listen and bob your head to. This musical composition includes themes from a variety of franchises that have been implemented into this game, making it a delicious treat to consume for countless hours – or until your ears begin to bleed.
There's certainly a large community revolving around Blazblue: Cross Tag Battle. Although this game is new, it was featured at Combo Breaker 2018, an infamous fighting game tournament that includes a large portion of seasoned fighting games and players. Just to give you an insight as to what kind of potential the game has, and to give you an idea of how much energy you can put into this game, I've embedded a video, down below, of the Top 8 Winners bracket for Blazblue: Cross Tag Battle.
Although Blazblue: Cross Tag Battle includes a rather boring story, there remains a lot to serve people who are hungry enough to play a really good fighting game. For instance, the implemented tag system gives you the opportunity to play with two characters and lets you swap fighters on the fly, and controls have been simplified to appease both new and returning competitors. The rocking musical soundtrack is varied and includes both instrumental tunes and vocalized compositions from an array of franchises, and the game is highly supported by the fighting game community. By in large, Blazblue: Cross Tag Battle is a very well done fighting game that I plan to continue playing into the near future and beyond.
Blazblue: Cross Tag Battle was reviewed on PlayStation 4 using review copy provided by Arc System Works.

Breast Cancer - £22,000
Cancer Misdiagnosis Compensation Claims
Case Study: Missed Breast Cancer Diagnosis
Compensation: £22,000
Jane, 48 years old, Macclesfield
A man has secured £22,000 compensation with the help of JMW after doctors failed to correctly report his wife's positive breast cancer diagnosis which unfortunately led to her death.
When Jane was 42 years old she noticed a lump in her left breast. She was seen by her GP who referred her to her local Hospital.
She underwent a mammogram, ultrasound scan and fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). There was a positive breast cancer diagnosis and plans were arranged for either wide local excision or mastectomy in either case with axillary clearance. Following the review of the histology a diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) was substituted in place of the cancer diagnosis. Jane underwent a left sided mastectomy and a specimen of tissue was removed for biopsy. The specimen of breast tissue was reported as ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) with an area of micro-invasion.
At a multi-disciplinary review, it was decided that Jane needed 6 monthly reviews with annual mammograms to the age of 50 and with mammograms on an 18 monthly basis thereafter. She did not undergo axillary clearance.
A year later, Jane discovered another lump under her left arm. She returned to the hospital where she underwent an ultrasound scan. The scan appeared to indicate "a solitary normal looking lymph node." Jane underwent a further review in clinic and a repeat ultrasound scan of the axilla.
At that point the reviewing doctor advised in their report that the node be biopsied or excised as neoplasia could not be excluded. A handwritten note on the report stated, "Bring back to the clinic urgently please."
The hospital did not arrange for Jane to re-attend the hospital and a year later she developed a swelling in a vein of the upper left arm which was painful. The GP referred her back to the hospital. She was told that the scan performed a year earlier had showed some worrying changes of the lump. Jane underwent left axillary clearance. 25 of the 28 lymph nodes removed were found to contain metastases.
Fatal delays
Jane started chemotherapy at a regional Oncology unit and began radiotherapy after a few months. When she turned 48 years old Jane was found to have developed a recurrence of the cancer in the chest wall and she had developed Lymphodema of the left arm. Her condition deteriorated seriously and she passed away within six months.
JMW Solicitors alleged that the hospital was negligent in failing to correctly report a positive breast cancer diagnosis as a result of testing the sample of breast tissue from the left mastectomy and in the management of the axillary lump a year later. However, it was acknowledged that Jane would have probably suffered relapse in any event.
The matter was settled and Jane's husband was awarded £22,000 compensation.
If you have suffered in a similar manner, speak to a member of the JMW team about how we can help you. Give us a call on 0800 054 6512. Alternatively, we will get in touch with you if you fill in our online enquiry form.

Following the flurry of spring festivals nationwide, Hanoi's Thay Pagoda Festival appears rather late on the calendar, but always attracts its fair share of visitors as it is an opportunity for locals and tourists to pay tribute to Buddhist monk Tu Dao Hanh, the founding father of water puppetry.
The festival is held from the 5th to the 7th of the third lunar month, March 26-28 this year, at Thay Pagoda (also called Thien Phuc Pagoda) in Sai Son Commune, Quoc Oai District.
Just 30 km from the city center, Thay Pagoda attracts visitors all year round but takes on a boisterous atmosphere during the annual spring festival as Buddhist pilgrims and interested travelers flock to the site.
Built in the 11th century during the reign of King Ly Nhan Tong, Thay Pagoda honors Tu Dao Hanh for his outstanding achievements in terms of popularizing Buddhism, treating the diseases of local people and creating many traditional activities, the most famous of which is water puppetry.
Thay Pagoda is not only famous as a sacred place but also well-known for its classic religious architecture, archetypical of northern Vietnam. Situated at the foot of the beautiful Sai Son Mountain, surrounded by rice fields and peaceful villages, the pagoda draws thousands of Buddhism pilgrims every year.
The pagoda consists of three parallel temples: the outer Ha Temple, used for offerings and ceremonies; Trung Temple in the middle for worshiping Buddha; and the inner Thuong Temple for paying respect to monk Tu Dao Hanh.
In front of the pagoda, in the middle of Long Tri Pond, sits a small stage called Thuy Dinh House. It is the place where water puppetry performances are held during important events.
Visitors would be wise to also visit the nearby Phat Tich and Cac Co caves, each of which is about a 10-minute hike uphill from Thay Pagoda.
Visitors can make their way to the site by bicycle or motorbike. Follow Thang Long Highway and turn right at a signpost indicating the route to Thay Pagoda. Along the route, travelers can witness the daily lives of Red River Delta farmers and enjoy the fresh air and the beauty of the rice and maize fields.
Thay Pagoda can also be reached easily by public buses Nos. 71 and 79, which depart from Hanoi's My Dinh Station.
If you decide to explore the festival on your own, be warned that locals may follow you, volunteer to be your guide, and then ask for big tips. It would be wise to simply refuse all such offers.
Though the festival is still several days away, Buddhist monks have already begun cleaning up the pagoda with the help of local people. Like every year, they will carry out the statue bathing ritual in which pieces of red cloth are used to clean the statues. The used water, which is considered holy water bestowed by Buddha, will then be scattered all over the pagoda as a prayer for good crops and prosperity. The used cloths are torn into smaller pieces to divide among the people as they are thought to have the power of warding off evil. After "˜bathing' the statues, people clean other objects of worship and then light candles and burn incense.
The most important ceremony of the festival is the procession of Tu Dao Hanh's worshipping tablet which takes place on the last day. The tablet, which is covered under a yellow cloth, is carried by four representatives from the villages in the commune. Another ceremony is the ritual of presenting offerings to Buddha. Fruit, traditional cakes and votive papers, are arranged on the altar. Then Buddhist monks hold cành lá»™c - sticks which are decorated with leaves and flowers- and chant Buddhist sutras while dancing to represent the journey of mankind striving toward noble pursuits.
And of course, during the festival, visitors will have the chance to enjoy water puppetry performances at the Thuy Dinh House.

Blog / Taxing times
Posted by House of Lords Labour 0pc on October 27, 2015
Angela Smith on the rationale and justfication for our challenge to the government's tax credits policy
It is rare for the House of Lords to find itself at the centre of such a ferocious policy and constitutional debate as it does at present. Tomorrow evening, peers will be asked to approve the government's tax credits order - pernicious regulations that will dramatically cut the income of more than three million working people on low incomes. People who are playing by the rules but now risk being forced into poverty, using food banks to get them through each week.
The complexities of parliamentary procedure is not widely known outside of the Westminster Village, and often not inside it either. But it could normally be expected for a measure of this nature and magnitude to be introduced by primary legislation. In other words, a government bill to be debated and voted on in the usual way by both houses, with the opportunity to make revisions and fully consider the implications. Instead, the government has chosen to deal with its policy shift via the mechanism of a Statutory Instrument (SI). Something more normally used for minor issues after a bill has already passed into law as an act, or for the normal uprating or changes to tax credits.
By taking the SI route, ministers have opted for a highly truncated process that usually has little debate. The SI has to be accepted in its presented form or rejected, only very, very occasionally giving rise to a vote such as this. Of course, had the government gone down the normal legislative route, it could have claimed 'financial privilege' and the Lords would rightly not have considered the changes. But there would have been a much fuller debate in the Commons, in the full glare of the media and with MPs of all sides keen to air concerns on behalf of their constituents.
Tomorrow's debate in the Lords will see consideration of several amendments, including one from my Labour colleague Baroness Patricia Hollis. An ex-DWP minister, Patricia will call on peers to reject what is being proposed until the government come back with a scheme to protect those already getting tax credits for at least three years. If pressed to a vote and successful, the onus would then be on ministers to put such a plan in place. A failure to do so however, would mean the government could not go ahead with the cuts.
The House of Lords independent authorities have been clear that the Hollis amendment is not a so-called 'Fatal Motion', designed merely to kill off the government's plans. They too understand that it gives George Osborne and the Treasury an opportunity to address the deep concerns that have been expressed by MPs and peers of all parties, including Norman Tebbit, Nigel Lawson and Boris Johnson.
Some have asked why Labour hasn't gone ahead with a straightforward 'fatal', like the one tabled by Lib Dem peers at the behest of their party leader, Tim Farron. The problem with that approach is that the government, having already won a vote on the SI in the Commons, could quickly return with new primary legislation, avoid Lords consideration and try to prevent any amendments - like the Hollis one - designed to help mitigate the effects of the cuts.
Our motion gives ministers the opportunity to take a step back and listen properly to the clamour of voices calling for them to think again. Not just at parliament but the Children's Society, think tanks like the IFS, the IEA and the Adam Smith Institute, as well as newspapers generally supportive of the current government, including theSun.
So what about the accusations that our peers and others are overstepping the constitutional authority of the unelected, second chamber? Is it not right, given Mr Osborne's decision to sidestep the more usual detailed parliamentary scrutiny that we ask the government to reconsider? Conservative peers certainly thought so in 2008when they voted en masse to limit the Labour government's ability to increase the National Insurance upper earnings limit without further primary legislation. A move formally backed in the division lobby by the current Government Chief Whip, Lord Taylor. So what has changed now that they - and he - are in power?
The last week has enlightened quite a few about the Cameron government's reluctance to accept challenge or proper scrutiny. The prime minister would rather provoke a phoney constitutional 'crisis' with peers than deal with the issues and problems with his and Osborne's tax credits policy. Between 1997 and 2010, Labour lost many dozens of votes in the Lords, on a range of key issues. We didn't like it either but accepted them and moved on. Now we have a government that prefers to issue thinly veiled threats to anyone who dares question its authority.
Personally, I have been appalled at the government's parliamentary bullying. Threats to 'suspend the House of Lords', pack it with 150 new Tory Peers, and 'clip their wings' do nothing to address the serious policy issues that have given rise to our concerns. There is a need for Lords reform and Labour Peers have suggested very real changesthat could be implemented fairly quickly. But the threats we are now hearing have nothing to do with reform, and all to do with a government that hates challenge and will try any trick in the political playbook to get its way.
Tomorrow, we will debate and scrutinise the tax credits SI in the usual way. We will not exceed our authority but neither will we be cowed into abdicating our responsibilities to hold government - any government - to account.

Posted by fofo in ASP.Net Core, logging.
In this blog post I am going to look into logging and more specifically into structured Logging. There is no need to stress how important logging is in any .Net application.
I am going to talk about structured Logging with Serilog and Seq. I am going to create an ASP.Net Core application to demonstrate logging with Serilog.
Let me give you a definition what structured logging is before we go any further.
Structured logging is a way of logging where instead of writing just plain text data to our log files we actually write meaningful log data by writing properties that are relevant to our application and values for those properties. This is a huge plus because now that we have structured data we can go on and write queries against.
Logging to a text file, we log all sorts of information. We have different levels of information like warnings, errors, critical messages e.t.c. Ιn order to get some meaningful information out of it we have to use external tools or use regular expressions. In many cases we have logged data which is written in many log files. As you can understand in order to get the data we want, we need either to merge all those files or run the same regular expressions across all the files.
With structured logging we can have different queries, more intelligent queries. We can query and get data for a particular order, we can get error log messages where order value is more thatn 5.000 USD. We could get data regarding failed login attempts.
One of the most important logging libraries is the Serilog logging library. When building your application, you can install the Serilog NuGet package and once you have installed this NuGet package you can start writing simple log messages. These could be messages such as information messages or more important error messages, and when you configure Serilog in your application you can decide where you want our log output to be be written to.
We could write to rolling text files, so this means a new text file will be created automatically each day or we could write our log messages to a NoSQL data store like RavenDB or Seq.We can configure multiple destinations to be used by the same logger, so when we write a log message it will automatically be written to multiple output stores.
When we're using Serilog there's a number of different places we can write our application log data to, such as the console, rolling files or single files.We can also write log data to MongoDB, RavenDB and Seq. I have mentioned Seq a few times so let me explain what Seq is.
It runs as a Windows service and it allows us to configure our applications, via Serilog, to log structured messages to it via HTTP or HTTPS. When our applications log structured messages to Seq server it stores named properties/values so we can query them later. As part of the Seq server Windows service, it also provides a web interface, so we can connect to it via a browser. This browser application allows us to view log messages and write queries against them.
You can download Seq here.
Follow the instructions of the wizard to install the Seq windows service. When you install it you must see something similar like the picture below. The default port for listening to events in Seq is 5341 but in my case I choose 5343 port.
Before we begin with our hands on example I must dive into the mechanics of Serilog.
You can see between the braces here we've got this UserName and Team and these are named properties in Serilog.
When we define Named Properties we need to give them some values, so after we've defined the message containing these named properties, we then specify the actual values for the name and the team.
When we embed structured data in our message here, if the underlying sink supports it, these named properties and their associated values will actually be stored in the underlying data store allowing them to be queried. If you want to see all the available sinks currently supported click here.
Serilog has a number of different concepts of data types, the first or what it defines as scalar data types. Serilog sees these scalar data types as things that can be reliably stored without needed to alter their representation in any way. The types of scalar data include Boolean, numbers, strings, dates and times, as well as a few other things.
In the Boolean category we'll just have the bool type. In the numbers category we have the basic numbers.
In the string category we have our string type and for dates and times we have the DateTime, DateTime Offset, and TimeSpan types. For the others we have Guids, URIs, as well as nullable versions of these other scalar types, so when Serilog sees that we're using one of these values for a named property it'll just go ahead and store its basic representation without doing any further processing on the value.
As well as scalar values, Serilog will store collections and objects. If the type implements IEnumerable it will go ahead and iterate through the contents of this IEnumerable and store the values. Serilog will also store the contents of a dictionary for us, but with a caveat that the key to the dictionary must be one of the types that Serilog considers to be scalar, so here the key to the dictionary is a string type.
Now that we have a good understanding of structured logging and Serilog, we can create a simple ASP.Net Core application. Launch the VS 2015 Studio and create a default ASP.Net Core Web application. Build and run the project.
I am going to install some packages now.
I will use the Package Manager Console to do that. Have a look at the picture below.
We need to do some configurations in the Startup.cs file.
I added the lines in bold in the Startup class.
I also need to add a line of code in the Configure method also in the Startup.cs file.
I added the line in bold to add Serilog to the ILoggerFactory that is passed into the Configure() method.
Now if we build and run the application again, in the Seq browser window interface we will see something like the picture below.
All the events (all detailed events until the Home page is fully served) are logged with Serilog and we can see them in Seq. We can search through them very easily. Have a look at the picture below.
In order to use Serilog to log our custom events we simply need to start logging from our own controllers.
I have added some lines (in bold). Build and run your application. Switch to the Seq browser window and search for "Hello".
We can pass an object as a property that is of type IEnumerable. Serilog will treat this property as a collection.
I added some lines in bold below in the Index method of the Home Controller.
Build and run the project again.
When I switch to the Seq browser window I see something like the picture below.
Let me create a simple class object and log its values.
Firstly, create a folder "Models" in your project. Then add the following class in it.
There are different logging levels available to us in Serilog. We can use verbose events to log very low-level debugging and internal information about what our code's doing. Then we have debug level of events, to log events related to the control logic, so which modules or branches of the application are being used, as well as diagnostic information that might help us diagnose faults, but not necessarily as low-level as the verbose events.
We can think of the information level events as the ability to log events that are of some interest to external parties, so these high-level events could be something like a user has just placed an order for a certain value.
Next, we have the warning level events. We can use this level to log information about potential problems that may be occurring in the application, so even if the system is not currently experiencing any actual errors, we can use this log level to give us advanced warning about things that could potentially break in the future.
Next, we have the error level events and these errors allows us to log information about unexpected failures in the system, so if there's been an error in the system, but we're still able to continue running the system, we could use this error level event. If, however, a failure has occurred and it's actually stopped the system from being able to process any more information, we can use the fatal level event. This level of event allows us to log information about critical system failures.
There are various ways you can format your messages as we saw earlier in our examples.Formatting is another great strength of Serilog.
In this post we looked into structured logging, Serilog, sinks, Seq, data types supported by Serilog, formatting options of Serilog and filtering capabilities of Serilog.

Q: Question about instancing, instanced arrays and buffer updating In one of my previous questions (How to instance draw with different transformations for multiple objects) I asked how to instance draw with different transformations, one person answered that the proper way to do it is using instanced arrays.
This lead me to tutorials where they send transformation data through VAO, which is exactly what I was looking for.
But a new problem arose. Since my objects are dynamic (I want to move them) how do I update the buffer with their transformation?
Most of the tutorials Ive seen usually only render instanced objects once and thus they have no need to update the buffer. For a fact I wouldnt even know how to update a buffer to begin with, as I declare VAO with mesh at the beginning and it is not changed during the runtime of program.
What I think I should be doing: Store the transformations on CPU side in some array, when I do something which results in changing a specific transformation I will update this array and then update the transformation buffer.
Probably the actual question:
How do I update a buffer during the runtime of program?

A: Just use glBufferSubData to update the corresponding data on your GPU, from which your shaders get the transformations per instance (e.g. the vertex buffer for which the divisor is set to 1 with glVertexAttribDivisor(idx, 1)).
The other possibility would be to use glMapBuffer or glMapBufferRange to update that buffer.

manhattan grid map
Fourth and Sixth Avenues were extended downtown, and Broadway uptown. "[6] It can be found in the Old and New Kingdoms of Ancient Egypt, and in Mohenjo-daro in the Indus Valley in 2154 BCE with a population of 40,000 people,[7] where many historians claim it was invented, and from where it may have spread to Ancient Greece. Over two hundred years, the scale of architecture has changed from three-story walk-ups to skyscrapers more than 1,000 feet tall. Manhattan is laid out on a uniform grid of streets and avenues (well, most of it), making it easy to navigate.. [49][53], Randel's surveying in 1808 had nothing to do with laying out the grid, which had not yet been determined as the final result of the Commission's work. "Amid the numerical anonymity of streets and avenues, I am simply anyone, anywhere, since one place is so like another. Want more street-level intel from the many neighborhoods of New York City? About 100 acres (40 ha) accommodated 7 east–west and 8 north–south streets, all 50 feet (15 m) wide, making up 35 whole or partial rectilinear blocks of 200 feet (61 m) width from east to west, and between 350 feet (110 m) and 500 feet (150 m) long north to south – although near the edges of the estate the grid broke down in order to connect up with existing streets. The only street to actually be laid was the grid's central east–west axis, Stuyvesant Street, which remains the one street in Manhattan oriented closely to true east and west. In addition, where the island was wider, there would be four additional lettered avenues running from Avenue A eastward to Avenue D. Some of the avenues, such as Twelfth Avenue, ran through land that did not as yet exist, but the state legislation which created the Commission also authorized the city to extend its boundaries 400 feet (120 m) into the Hudson and East Rivers, so the land required for these new streets would eventually be created. [notes 4] Cities such as Anchorage, Alaska; Erie, Pennsylvania; Miami, Florida; and Sacramento, California, all show the American preference for the grid. The concept of the park first came up for public discussion in the 1840s. The Commissioners were Gouverneur Morris, a Founding Father of the United States; the lawyer John Rutherfurd, a former United States Senator; and the state Surveyor General, Simeon De Witt. [67] Broadway, an existing road, was not included in the 1811 plan, and was added to the grid later. Gaynor survived, but was not able to put the necessary energy into his proposal, and it faded away. Loss was to deliver the map by May 1808. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Read More on This Topic. [103], As well as the Farm Maps, Randel produced an atlas of the city, filling in with "astounding precision" the details of street locations and elevations which had been left off the official map. Map of New York City Neighborhoods: Click on a neighborhood in the above map of Manhattan to find hotels in your neighborhood of choice. [72][73] On the other hand, if the plan improved the accessibility of a property, the city was authorized to levy an assessment on the owner for the improvement, a method previously used by the city after building public amenities, such as wells. [13], The streets of lower Manhattan had, for the most part, developed organically as the colony of New Amsterdam – which became New York when the British took it over from the Dutch without firing a shot in 1664 – grew. But even by the standards of the early nineteenth century the plan was inadequate. Map Of The Bronx River. "[106], Once the street was legally "opened" with the approval by the court of the commission's figures, the city collected the assessment from the landowners along the street, and once the assessment was totally collected, the streets could be built, or "worked". Zooming out to view this 1836 map of New York in full, the map's artistic merit immediately becomes apparent – the scrolled border and detailed views speak to a gentle use for this map. [25][notes 5][26], Still, Goerck's work in surveying the Common Lands was the basis for the Commissioners' Plan, as explained by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission: "The Commissioner's Plan borrowed heavily from Goerck's earlier surveys and essentially expanded his scheme beyond the common lands to encompass the entire island. [49], The Commissioners' replacement as chief engineer and surveyor, John Randel Jr., took over the position in June 1808;[52] the project would occupy him for most of the next 13 years. [notes 10] The plan died, however, when Gaynor was shot by an outraged landowner whose property would be taken for the new road. Map of Manhattan: Subway and street map of Manhattan in NYC. Individual distinctions, whether cultural, charitable, economic, or whatever, would have to find their place within a fixed, republican spatial organization. (italics in original)[64], –The Commission, from their "Remarks"[41], The format chosen by the Commissioners was a rectilinear grid, or "gridiron": straight streets and avenues intersecting each other at right angles. Zoning requirements also contributed to the order brought by the grid: the city required buildings on avenues to be no more than three stories, and those on the streets no more than two. The gridiron idea spread with the Renaissance, although in many cities, for instance London following the Great Fire of 1666, it failed to take root. Bridges published and copyrighted the resulting map as a private venture, leaving Randel out in the cold: his name did not appear anywhere on Bridges' map. Tweed himself was the head of the Department of Public Works, and controlled when and where the grid would be activated. Home; The 1811 Plan; Interactive 1811 Plan; The 1811 Plan. One proposal for a change was made in 1915 by Thomas Kennard Thomson, an engineer from Buffalo, New York who settled in New York City after making a career in Canada and the United States as a bridge and railway engineer. The Council said its goal was "laying out Streets ... in such a manner as to unite regularity and order with the public convenience and benefit and in particular to promote the health of the City ... [by allowing] a free and abundant circulation of air" to stave off disease,[2] as at the time, foul air, or "miasma", was thought to be the cause of many diseases,[40] and the city had lived through decades of epidemics of yellow fever. [129], With the need for a street plan for Upper Manhattan, in 1860 the state legislature created another commission, this one of seven residents of Upper Manhattan and called the Fort Washington Commission – with Olmsted and Vaux as consulting landscape architects – to come up with a plan of action which would not be a copy of the grid plan promulgated by the original Commission. The numbering was also extended through Manhattan and the Bronx. The natural inequities of the ground are destroyed, and the existing water courses disregarded. [1] The three maps were large, almost nine feet in length when connected together. [63], Randel's survey of the entire island – 11,400 acres (4,600 ha)[2] – had begun in 1808 and was completed in 1810, and he now prepared the drafts of the new grid without regard to the topography of the land. The Plan's "hidden agenda" was "[t]he reconstruction of the natural environment to fit the requirements of republican authority." Rose-Redwood writes that "Manhattan remains an 'island of hills' ..."[111], By 1865, Andrew Haswell Green reported, there had been 38 separate state laws passed which modified the original grid of 1811.[110]. [59], And in the meantime, the Commissioners were, generally speaking, distracted by various other personal and political business; although they met – infrequently – there is no record of what they discussed, or if they were getting closer to a decision about what their plan would entail. The new plan was to take into account "the elevated, irregular, and rocky formation of that district"[127] because it would be "impracticable and ruinous to land owners, and injurious to the interests of the city, to grade and layout streets and avenues ... upon the present plan of the city. [19][13] New Amsterdam, however, had not been laid out in a grid pattern by the Dutch. [41][42], A month later, the legislature gave the Commissioners "exclusive power to lay out streets, roads, and public squares, of such width, extent, and direction, as to them shall seem most conducive to public good, and to shut up, or direct to be shut up, any streets or parts thereof which have been heretofore laid out ... [but] not accepted by the Common Council." There were few specifications given to them about those streets, except that streets were to be at least 50 feet (15 m) wide, while "leading streets" and "great avenues" were to be at least 60 feet (18 m) wide. Bridges, whose reputation both as a surveyor and as a man was far from clean, did not reply, perhaps because his wife was sick at the time, and died several months after Randel's second letter. The land was cleared, hills were excavated or hollows filled in, the right of way was leveled and the street was paved. The plan originated when the Common Council of New York City, seeking to provide for the orderly development and sale of the land of Manhattan between 14th Street and Washington Heights, but unable to do so itself for reasons of local politics and objections from property owners, asked the New York State Legislature to step in. Map of the Borough of Manhattan and part of the Bronx showing location and extent of racial colonies. To celebrate, here's a collection of historic, artistic and imagined maps of Manhattan. In 1811, it was time for Randel to enter stage two, during which he completed the necessary geodetic surveying and inscribed the grid into the land. Recent studies, however, have shown that while the topography of the island certainly changed, what exists now is not so very different from the original topography as the critics would suggest. This is Bakersfield with roads out to the 25 tile limit, and any additional highways beyond the default limit are not connected to the edge of the map. [105], Tammany Hall took the new system in its stride, as it pushed a new city charter through the Tammany-controlled legislature in 1870. [25], Unfortunately for the Common Council, the disadvantages of the plots in the Common Lands worked against their sale, and there was no run on the market to buy them. Aug 29, 2013 - A new exhibition examines the master plan that made New York what it is today [37] Faced with opposition and conflict from various political factions, including property owners whose private deeds conflicted with the property lines of the Mangin–Goerck,[1][38] and the reality that any plan the Council came up with could be overturned by a subsequent Council,[39] the city asked the state legislature for help. [76] At the time, some thought that the Grand Parade might become a "central park" for the city, but the grounds were gradually reduced over the course of time, until what was left was the current Madison Square Park. It is no wonder why people fought back against the Commissioners' Plan, or set their dogs on Randel and his men. It has been called "the single most important document in New York City's development,"[1] and the plan has been described as encompassing the "republican predilection for control and balance ... [and] distrust of nature". It may not be every urban planner's beau ideal, but as a machine for urban living, the grid is pretty perfect."[173]. I expect this … [110], A frequent charge laid by the critics of the Commissioners' Plan is that the excavation and leveling necessary to implement it basically destroyed the topography of Manhattan. Established in 1811 to blanket the island when New York was a compact town at the southern tip, the grid was the city's first great civic enterprise and a vision of brazen ambition. The 1807 law had specified that the city would calculate damages to the landowners' property as well as assess the benefits the landowners would receive from the new streets. The Ordinance required newly created states west of the original thirteen, to have rectilinear boundaries, rather than boundaries shaped by natural features, and within the new areas, beginning in the Northwest Territory, everything was to be divided into rectangles: townships were six miles by six miles (9.7 km × 9.7 km), sections were one mile by one mile (1.6 km × 1.6 km), and individual lots were 60 by 125 feet (18 m × 38 m). Green was able to take advantage of a high ridge and create Morningside Park and Morningside Drive, and also created Riverside Park along the Hudson River; both parks were designed by Olmsted and Vaux. To celebrate, here's a collection of historic, artistic and imagined maps of Manhattan. 16th 1811." By and large its advocates were wealthy landowners and merchants, who argued that New York lacked the kind of parks that graced cities such as London and Paris, and that the creation of such a park would enhance New York's reputation as an international city. [34], In 1806, they took a first step by hiring Ferdinand Hassler. "[71], In implementing the grid, existing buildings were allowed to remain where they were if at all possible, but if removal was necessary the owners would receive compensation from the city,[41] although appeal was available to a special panel appointed by the state's highest court.

Trade minister on vital mission to Europe
Trade minister, Dan Tehan, takes off on a visit to Europe this week on a mission that is vital for Australia's economic recovery.
Minister Tehan starts off with a meeting with the new director-general of the World Trade Organization, Ngozi Okonjo-Weala.
While he is in Geneva, Minister Tehan will explore the possibility of taking China to the WTO dispute settlement process over its excessive tariffs against Australian wine. He told Sky News' Sunday Agenda program on Sunday:
"One of the things we are very keen to do is to make sure with our trade disputes with China is that we are using every means we can to deal with them.
"Obviously the World Trade Organisation is one of those mechanisms. We are using that when it comes to barley and we are under very deep consideration now when it comes to wine, as to whether we will also refer that."
He will also seek to revive the multilateral trade negotiation process with a special focus on eliminating vaccine nationalism.
From Geneva he will fly to Berlin where he will face possibly the toughest talks of his trip.
Minister Tehan will try and enlist German support for a reinforcement of the international rules-based trade system. Australia wants the major trading countries to unite against the coercive trade actions of China, but Germany has just signed a bilateral agreement with China that consolidates the special relationship between the two countries. To put this in context, the endpoint of China's great belt-and-road initiative to link Asia with Europe is Hamburg in Germany.
The trade minister also wants to persuade the Germans to reject the European Commission's movement towards vaccine nationalism and to encourage them to support the conclusion of a free trade agreement between Australia and the European Union. He is likely to be more successful with these entreaties because the Germans have been traditional supporters of free trade.
From Berlin, Mr Tehan will travel to Paris where he will try and persuade the Macron government that the world needs to endorse free trade if it is to recover from the pandemic recession, telling Sky News:
"If you look what happened post-second world war, it was that trade liberalisation agenda which helped countries out of poverty to make sure developed countries continue to provide increased living standards in all countries.
"Now is not the time for us to be resorting to trade protectionism, now is not the time we need countries using harmful trade measures against other countries."
Mr Tehan will have another tough negotiation in Brussels. He wants the European Commission to stop engaging in vaccine protectionism but at the same time, he wants to finalise the Australia/EU free trade agreement before the next election. The Commission will play hardball because they always do with Australia, but Tehan has an incentive to offer: He is prepared to offer duty-free entry into Australia for all environmental goods and services, waiving a current WTO exemption for these items.
After Brussels, the minister will go to London to meet UK trade minister, Liz Truss. The free trade agreement with the Brits is almost done and dealt and it is very important that it be completed. Britain is a replacement market for Australian products like barley and wine that have been excluded from China.
If Dan Tehan achieves only half of his ambitious program, he will have made a significant contribution to Australia's post-pandemic recovery. But given the political damage the Morrison government has suffered recently, it is essential that it is able to guarantee vaccine security for Australia between now and the election.

2.5 — Why functions are useful, and how to use them effectively
By Alex on August 4th, 2015 | last modified by Alex on November 25th, 2018
Now that we've covered what functions are and some of their basic capabilities, let's take a closer look at why they're useful.
Why use functions?
New programmers often ask, "Can't we just put all the code inside the main function?" For simple programs, you absolutely can. However, functions provide a number of benefits that make them extremely useful in programs of non-trivial length or complexity.
Organization -- As programs grow in complexity, having all the code live inside the main() function becomes increasingly complicated. A function is almost like a mini-program that we can write separately from the main program, without having to think about the rest of the program while we write it. This allows us to reduce a complicated program into smaller, more manageable chunks, which reduces the overall complexity of our program.
Reusability -- Once a function is written, it can be called multiple times from within the program. This avoids duplicated code ("Don't Repeat Yourself") and minimizes the probability of copy/paste errors. Functions can also be shared with other programs, reducing the amount of code that has to be written from scratch (and retested) each time.
Testing -- Because functions reduce code redundancy, there's less code to test in the first place. Also because functions are self-contained, once we've tested a function to ensure it works, we don't need to test it again unless we change it. This reduces the amount of code we have to test at one time, making it much easier to find bugs (or avoid them in the first place).
Extensibility -- When we need to extend our program to handle a case it didn't handle before, functions allow us to make the change in one place and have that change take effect every time the function is called.
Abstraction -- In order to use a function, you only need to know its name, inputs, outputs, and where it lives. You don't need to know how it works, or what other code it's dependent upon to use it. This lowers the amount of knowledge required to use other people's code (including everything in the standard library).
Although it doesn't look like it, every time you use operator<< or operator>> to do input or output, you're using a function provided by the standard library that meets all of the above criteria.
Effectively using functions
One of the biggest challenges new programmers encounter (besides learning the language) is understanding when and how to use functions effectively. Here are a few basic guidelines for writing functions:
Statements that appears more than once in a program should generally be made into a function. For example, if we're reading input from the user multiple times in the same way, that's a great candidate for a function. If we output something in the same way multiple times, that's also a great candidate for a function.
Code that has a well-defined set of inputs and outputs is a good candidate for a function, particularly if it is complicated. For example, if we have a list of items that we want to sort, the code to do the sorting would make a great function, even if it's only done once. The input is the unsorted list, and the output is the sorted list.
A function should generally perform one (and only one) task.
When a function becomes too long, too complicated, or hard to understand, it can be split into multiple sub-functions. This is called refactoring.
Typically, when learning C++, you will write a lot of programs that involve 3 subtasks:
Reading inputs from the user
Calculating a value from the inputs
Printing the calculated value
For trivial programs (e.g. less than 20 lines of code), some or all of these can be done in function main. However, for longer programs (or just for practice) each of these is a good candidate for an individual function.
New programmers often combine calculating a value and printing the calculated value into a single function. However, this violates the "one task" rule of thumb for functions. A function that calculates a value should return the value to the caller and let the caller decide what to do with the calculated value (such as call another function to print the value).

Hilton Signs Waldorf Astoria in Osaka; Conrad Hotel in Chongqing
(01 Dec 2021) Hilton has signed two new hotels - a Waldorf Astoria hotel in Osaka, Japan and a Conrad hotel in Chongqing, China.
The two management agreements were inked with Orix Real Estate Corporation and Chongqing Jiafa Industrial, respectively.
Slated to open in 2023, the Conrad Chongqing will be located on Nanping West Road in the Nan'an district of the city.
With river and city views, the hotel will feature 240 rooms, three F&B outlets, and approximately 1,370 sqm of meeting and events space.
The Waldorf Astoria Osaka will feature 252 keys with room sizes starting from 50 square meters.

Scheduled to open in 2025, the hotel will occupy 12 floors of a new high-rise building in the southern part of the Umekita Second Project, an urban redevelopment project north of Osaka Station.
Facilities will include a variety of restaurants and a destination bar, an indoor pool, fitness centre and luxury spa. There will also be a wedding chapel, and a good assortment of meeting and event space.
Alan Watts, president, Asia Pacific, Hilton, said, "For more than a century, Hilton has thrived in key destinations all over the world, even through some of the most challenging periods in history. The strong growth momentum in Asia demonstrates the resilience of Hilton's luxury brands amidst a dynamic operating landscape as a result of the COVID19 pandemic. It also signals great confidence from the owner and investment communities in the strength of our luxury brands. We are confident that together with our partners, Hilton will emerge from this pandemic stronger than before as we continue to deliver the light and warmth of hospitality to our guests and capture growth opportunities across key destinations for our owners."
Other notable luxury milestones building the momentum for Hilton have included the signing of Waldorf Astoria Tokyo Nihonbashi a year ago, representing the debut of Waldorf Astoria in Japan, closely followed by the opening of Waldorf Astoria Xiamen marking Hilton's sixth hotel to open in Asia Pacific under the luxury brand; along with the multi-deal signing of four luxury hotels in China with the Shimao Group in April of this year.
Most recently, Hilton launched its newest luxury brand in Asia Pacific with the opening of ROKU KYOTO, LXR Hotels & Resorts in September 2021.
Launching as well before the year closes is Conrad Jiuzhaigou which will bring the brand's renowned contemporary design and intuitive service to travelers in the Chinese province of Sichuan when it opens in November 2021.
Hilton currently operates 30 hotels across its Waldorf Astoria, Conrad and LXR brands in Asia Pacific, with a further 17 hotels in its development pipeline, due to open over the coming years.

How to Report a Family Member of Welfare Fraud Anonymously

How to Locate Someone in Police Custody
Most county and state agencies make it easy to anonymously report welfare fraud. Welfare is an expensive cost to taxpayers, and state and local governments feel pressure to stamp out abuses. Government agencies will accept anonymous reports from anyone, including family members. A report of welfare fraud by a family member is likely to receive priority treatment because most states have limited fraud-investigation resources and the family member may have firsthand knowledge of the fraud.
Contact the Department of Social Services
Social services departments administer welfare programs and field welfare-related inquiries from the public. Obtain the number for the social services department in your county by going online or calling city hall or a charitable organization such as the Salvation Army or Urban League. Tell the representative at the department of social services that you want to report a family member for welfare fraud. The representative may take your complaint or direct you to a statewide hotline for reporting welfare fraud. Call that number, if applicable.
Stay Anonymous
Report specifics about the type of fraud, but do not give your name or telephone number if you wish to remain anonymous. Some state laws may require that your name be listed in public documents if you disclose it. Instead, describe yourself as a family member with inside knowledge about the fraud. In general, you should be able to report fraud without giving your personal information, but do check with the agency that your identity will be protected.
Give Facts Surrounding the Fraud
Agencies require information to allow them to investigate the fraud allegation. Be prepared to give the names of the people suspected of fraud and the type of fraud they have committed such as selling food benefits distributed through welfare or collecting benefits while hiding income. Some agencies may require you to send in documentation of the alleged fraud such as paper records, video evidence or anything else that may be useful.
Report Fraud in Writing or Online
Send an anonymous letter by mail, fax or online if you would rather not talk to an investigator – even anonymously. Some states have online reporting systems so go online to find out the options for filing fraud reports. The state of Washington, for example, accepts anonymous reports by mail, fax and online. In most cases, you'll need to file the report in the state where the family members lives, or the state where they committed the fraud if different.
