Q: Setter Injection not working I am doing some examples to understand Injection using NInject...
But ended up with confusion in injection..
Ex:-
Consider the following example:-
class Busineesss
{
    FirstInterface targetInter = null;

    [Inject]   //Setter Injection
    public SecondInterface ProInj { get; set; }

    [Inject]  //Ctor Injection
    public Busineesss(FirstInterface inbound)
    {
        targetInter = inbound;
    }

    public void run()
    {
    /*Line:X*/          targetInter.doSomeThing();
    /*Line:Y*/        ProInj.GetSomethingMyName();
    }
}

interface FirstInterface
{
    void doSomeThing();
}

interface SecondInterface
{
    void GetSomethingMyName();
}

Module and main:
public class Module : NinjectModule
{
     public override void Load()
     {
        Bind<FirstInterface>().To<FirstImplementer>();
        Bind<SecondInterface>().To<SecondImplementer>();
     }
}

static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        StandardKernel std = new StandardKernel();
        std.Load(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());

        FirstInterface obj =   std.Get<FirstInterface>();

        Busineesss b = new Busineesss(obj);  //Injecting Ctor data here
        b.run();
    }

My Understanding:-
So, as per my understanding, We have to manually call the root class with necessary data, then the Ninject will solve the remaining dependencies by itself.

*

*So, I thought that, In the Line:Y , it will get the instance of SecondImplementer, since it is defined in the Module.

But I did not get any kind of those things. I am getting Null Exception only at the line ProInj.GetSomethingMyName().

*If Ninjector is taking care of injection, then why I should pass the data in the ctor of the root class, in the line "Busineesss b = new Busineesss(obj);", it should be taken care by itself right..
So, it should be like, we have to just mention the startup class name...
This question arised because of the line mentioned in the "My Understanding" section....

Could u friends help me, in understanding this one, So I can grasp a little more....
Thanks in advance..

A: The problem is you are newing up the Busineesss service when you should be resolving it from the container. Replacing:
FirstInterface obj =   std.Get<FirstInterface>();
Busineesss b = new Busineesss(obj);

with:
Busineesss b = std.Get<Busineesss>();

should solve your problem.


According to reason, probably the most popular personal loan varieties are homeowner loans or do it yourself loans, debt consolidation reduction loans, holiday loans, vehicle loans, wedding loans, education loans and poor credit loans. You can even look for a personal loan for business purposes.
Based on recent statistics, increasing numbers of people within the United kingdom are availing guaranteed personal loans, because they are less expensive than other loan options like unsecured personal loans and payment cards (charge cards, store cards, bank cards and overdrafts).
A guaranteed personal loan is availed by providing collateral from the amount borrowed. Existence of collateral allows the loan provider to spend his money and facilitate the customer with quick attention, high borrowing limit, competitive low APR, flexible payback terms and negotiable loan conditions. Hence, choosing a guaranteed personal loan is sensible once the financial requirement is very large or credit score is poor or a personal unsecured loan application continues to be denied.
A guaranteed loan deal has one risk (collateral seizure) – in situation of repeated defaults or non-payment, the loan provider will get the legal right to sell the promised focal point in recover his investment. And, one limitation (slow approval process) – the borrowed funds application are only able to be accepted after time-consuming property evaluation as well as other credibility factors.
Finding the best mortgage isn't the easiest thing. For most people, it takes years of consideration and hard work before they can consider buying a home. When you are ready, you have to first understand if you can afford the selected property and can repay the dues on time. Mortgage is great for financing your home, but if you don't pay the instalments and other things on schedule, your credit score and financial status will be adversely affected.
Thankfully, there are a bunch of mortgage calculators like https://onqfinancial.com/financial-tools/mortgage-calculator/ that can come in handy. Most of these calculators use a few parameters to decide the monthly mortgage payments for a given scenario. In this post, we take a look at the things that matter.
The price of the house. This refers to the value of the property that you have selected, and eventually, everything will be decided around it.
Down payment. Before you can get the loan, you have to pay a down payment for your home, which is the upfront price from your pocket. Traditionally, 20% is the standard, but your lender will accept a lower amount in certain cases. The more you pay in form of down payment, the lower will be your interest rate.
The term. This refers to the number of years the mortgage will continue. So, if you go for a 30-year mortgage, you will have to pay less each month, but the final amount paid in interest will be huge. A 15-year term means more in monthly payments and less in interest.
The mortgage interest rate. This is what most homebuyers are concerned about. Interest rates are decided on several factors, including credit score and income of the concerned applicant. You can check online to get an idea as how interest rates are decided.
Property tax. Expectedly, you will have to pay a tax on the house, which is called the annual property tax, and that's usually around 1.5% of the actual value of the house. Annual Property Tax varies from state to state, so check the details in advance.
Homeowner Insurance. It should be noted that Homeowner Insurance isn't always compulsory, but often needed. It depends on the location and refers to the premium that's paid to insure the property.
Mortgage calculators can be really useful in finding your monthly payments before approaching a lender. Check online now for more information.
Mortgage professionals can help you look at your financial situations and tailor a suitable product accordingly. However, you can also use the internet to get relevant information you can use when making mortgage decisions. Shopping around for lenders, rates, and loan products will help you compare your options. Because fees attached to a product tend to vary by lenders, calculate how much you will be paying and decide if a product is right for you.
Consider how you plan to pay back your mortgage loan and the associated fees. With some lenders, you may ask to pay for the set-up fees upfront. But, some lenders will such fees into your loan's cost which means you will have to pay them with interest for the life of your loan. Thus, it's important to decide the most suitable option based on your situations.
A lot of mortgage deals tend to tie borrowers in for an agreed period of time. Thus, exiting the deal early will have you paying a redemption penalty. Ensure you know how long you are tied in for and consider how your situations can change over the period. These penalties can be extremely high and you want to avoid incurring more charges than you need to.
As your initial mortgage deal ends, check to see the fees you will have to pay in case you wish to change your lender. Although the exit fee can be fixed by some lenders at the outset, other lenders may charge an amount at the time of exit.
Whether you are looking to apply for a basic mortgage loan, a jumbo loan or refinancing loan, make sure you know how much you can borrow. Keep in mind that you will have to pay taxes, utility bills, insurances, and others. Make sure you don't take out a loan you will not be able to repay. Although lenders will scrutinize your income and ability to repay, you will wish to have the confidence that you can afford your loan.

MARYMOUND
Triumph Against All Odds
Written by Ken McIntyre
If Caitlin were to be described in one word, it would be resilient. Caitlin is one of the fortunate youth to overcome numerous challenges she endured early in life to become a compassionate, optimistic and independent spirit. Now almost 21, she is a young woman with a bright future awaiting her. She has been in the Marymound Independent Options Program (IOP) since she was 18 and considers Marymound to be her family.
A dark cloud loomed over Caitlin at birth. At 10-months-old she became an official ward and was placed into foster care. Too young to realize, she assumed her foster parents were her birth parents, so when Caitlin was removed from their care at age six due to family addiction problems, it had a profound effect. "When they [Child and Family Services] took me away from my [foster] parents, it traumatized me for a very long time," says Caitlin.
A ray of hope shined on Caitlin as she was soon placed into another foster home in the north end of Winnipeg. "I was taken away, but put into the best possible situation with Lisa and Chris who I consider my parents today," says Caitlin.
An added bonus of being parented by Lisa and Chris was that Caitlin was reunited with her older biological sister who has autism and has significant challenges "Lisa and Chris were great, as I was a confused six-year-old and they quickly understood my fears and made me feel right at home." Caitlin was thrilled to be with her sister who she never got to live with previously, and gave of herself endlessly. "My sister had it far worse than me in the system. She is my world. Anything she needs, I will do for her." Caitlin did this while addressing her own mental health issues.
"For the next six years, it was the best time as not too much happened," says Caitlin. She went to elementary school every day with her sister and parents (who were teachers). As a child with ADHD, Caitlin encountered challenges at school so her foster Dad exposed Caitlin to a variety of sports at which she excelled, as well as many other music and dance classes to help exhaust her excess energy. It wasn't until after many trying times that her parents realized she also suffered from extreme anxiety at age 11.
When Caitlin turned 13, the darkness returned as her foster parents divorced and she had to leave the family, including her sister. This incredible trauma caused Caitlin to become suicidal when she was 15. As a result, she had a two-week stay in Marymound's Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU) and managed to recover quickly. She then had brief stints in various group homes, a hotel, and finally a mentored living home for a year and half. "This is where you go before entering the Independent Living Options Program," Caitlin explains.
After a year and a half of hard work and dedication, Caitlin built up the requirements to enter Marymound's Independent Options Program and got her very own first apartment where she has thrived ever since. Caitlin is independent, manages her home, personal life and financial budget without the need for support.
She also entered the Marymound Student Work Experience Program (SWEEP) and excelled working the hotdog cart. "Just because you are born in a bad situation, doesn't mean you have to be that way. I know I am able to succeed and do it on my own. I know I have supports. Marymound made me realize my potential and the times when I wanted to give up, if it wasn't for everyone, I would have so I am very thankful. They made me realize it's OK to feel weak and reach out for help."
Marymound is like family to Caitlin. She has gone to hockey games with staff, met two of her best friends in the IOP program, and works tirelessly in the Marymound kitchen. "I had a recent anxiety attack at a Marymound function and six different staff came to my aid to comfort me. My IOP support worker Michele was my rock and the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The staff at Marymound understand me. That's family."
The clouds have parted and the sun is shining on Caitlin's future. She is working in another CHCM Community of Service, at St. Boniface Hospital in the Café, and recently, promoted to a managerial role. She is still in touch with her foster parents and is thinking of her future for the first time. "Now I see myself having a job, growing up with my friends, having a house and being successful. I can see myself. I have a future, and it's great."

No Love Lost—Error 404 by ADA Dramatics
Nov 06, 2018 by Tezraj Kayshap in Event Reports
ADA Dramatics showcased their main production, Error 404: Love & Laughter Not Found, at the TMA Pai Halls on 4th November. The two-play event, centred around the theme of family dynamics, took the audience on a spiral of sentiments, with potent climaxes and twists at every turn.
The event began with Italian playwright Dario Fo's one-act play The Virtuous Burglar, directed by Riddhima Singh, Ashwin Karthikeyan, and Shweta Pal. The play was a mockery of adultery in the lives of two couples who constantly found themselves in a fix as they searched vehemently for love. The drama played out on stage with intermittent cheers by the audience at the slapstick comedy.
The play unfolded with the entry of a burglar into the house of an affluent couple. The setting was simple, with lights and sounds complementing the stage setting perfectly. The burglar portrayed as a man of nuisance stumbling in his own antics. Things took a drastic turn with the unexpected arrival of the husband and his mistress, with both of them becoming suspicious of being followed by an erstwhile detective that they thought Anna, the husband's wife, had hired. The melodrama peaked with the couple tossing a gun around with the thought of ending their lives to prevent getting caught and the burglar finding himself caught in the crossfire between the couple.
Akash Ramesh, playing the burglar, gave a splendid performance courtesy his uncanny voice modulation and humorous expressions and movements. Another character that stole the show was Akshara Rohit as Julia, who managed to crack the audience up in laughter while still holding up the graveness of the scenes.
The second play, Kalpana, written in Hindi by Ada Ally and Paulomi Ghosh, shifted on to a more serious take on human relationships. The play revolved around the life of a painter, Kalpana, who was caught up in the strings of her past as she tried to move forward in her life after her divorce. The focus was on the conversation between Kalpana and her daughter, Riya, as the former recollected incidents of her life, which were portrayed in a gradual shift of scenes fading from the present to the past and back.
The play began with Kalpana dancing with Viraj, her newly-found love being interrupted by Riya's arrival. This was followed by a conversation between the mother and daughter that took the audience back to a time when they were a happy family. Kalpana recounted the day when her relationship with her then-husband, Karik, took a nasty turn due to their ongoing financial tensions, leading to their divorce. A major twist at the end of the plot served as the final strike to this masterpiece.
The actors did justice to their characters, with the music aptly complimenting the play. All in all, Kalpana delivered everything that a viewer could ask for. As the curtain fell on ADA's event, they received a fairly positive response from the audience, with the two plays having brought out different aspects and understanding of the concept of love.

The rehabilitation road back from a stroke or traumatic brain injury can be long and expensive.
The exercises and strengthening activities that can be critical to recovery are often tedious, repetitive and best practiced under the care of a medical professional. As a result, many patients simply never take full advantage of the help they need.
South Korean inventor Hoyoung Ban (MBA '11) saw the need for a better system in his home country firsthand, as the Darden graduate's father and two uncles all suffered strokes. His father passed away following the stroke while Ban was an undergraduate student at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. In the case of his uncles, effective rehabilitation therapy proved financially infeasible due to high cost of care in South Korea.
With the help of a partner, Ban formed the company Neofect in Yongin, South Korea, just south of Seoul, and led a team that helped design and bring to market the Rapael Smart Glove, a wearable device that connects to various digital training programs for relatively low-cost, varied workouts.
A patient in a stroke rehab program might wear the glove while performing a task such as throwing a ball or pouring a glass of water — in real life or via simulated video. The Rapael system monitors the patient's abilities, analyzing and adjusting tasks that aim to improve the patient's "neuroplasticity."
The Web-connected device also records rehab session data for review by patient, caregiver or medical professional.
An engineer by training, Ban came to the University of Virginia Darden School of Business not long after founding Neofect with a desire to hone his management and operational skills following the dissolution of the Internet TV company he started to bring Korean television programming to Korean speakers living in the U.S..
"What I had to learn was general management skills and to build my knowledge for starting a company from scratch," Ban said. "Darden was the best choice for this. Studying various cases and discussing in class gave me a chance to experience the conditions of what could happen in the real world."
Ban said he applied lessons learned at his first company and at Darden when attempting to break into a new field. Critically, Ban said he and his cofounders attempted to keep a tighter grasp on technical development.
"The entire process, from founding to closing my IPTV service company, made me think again about the issues of starting a company," Ban said. "The biggest issue we faced was the lack of technical knowledge on the team, which leads to an excessive reliance on outsourcing project work."
When starting Neofect, Ban and his team made sure to have a core internal technical development team that could nimbly react to market dynamics.
Certainly, the market for potential customers for Neofect's core product is evident, as stroke is considered a leading cause of disability in the world.
Ban said breaking into a field known for its conservative approaches to treatment has not been easy, but credits the work of medical professionals on his team who can help explain the product's benefits to health systems. The company said a number of major Korean health systems have now incorporated the device into their rehabilitation programs.
With a solid background in technology, Ban said it was the other, "softer" skills acquired at Darden that put him in a place to succeed, noting case-study derived lessons in negotiation, communication and decision making as critical for the successful launch of his company.
"The curriculum at Darden is very helpful in real business," said Ban.


The ramp-up by the fundraising engineering team, to prepare for the upcoming annual fundraiser.
New Orleans hackathon (14–16 October, New Orleans, USA) — About 30 MediaWiki developers and friends attended this coding event (organized by Ryan Lane, Sumana Harihareswara and Dana Isokawa) to work on Wikimedia's technical infrastructure. Work focused on the virtualization cluster / Wikimedia Labs, media storage (using Swift), Puppet, and continuous integration. The event was also used to discuss and prepare for the upcoming migration to git as our primary version control system.
October 2011 Coding Challenge (20 October - 7 November, online) — Greg DeKoenigsberg continued to prepare for this contest, which officially started on October 20th, and will be running for a few more days (see the rules). The contest offers three challenges: uploading media via a smartphone, surfacing changes in real time, and showing slideshows. The back-end, which provides a sign-up and submission process, was developed by Jeroen De Dauw and released as a MediaWiki extension. You can still participate in the challenge.
India hackathon (18–20 November, Mumbai, India) — Alolita Sharma, Siebrand Mazeland, Sumana Harihareswara and the local India team continued to prepare for this event, which will focus on language, mobile and offline support for MediaWiki content. You can register to request a free invitation; approximately 100-125 attendees are expected.
Brighton hackathon (19–20 November, Brighton, England) — Free registration opened for this general MediaWiki hackathon planned by Lewis Cawte. You can register online. WMF engineers Antoine Musso, Roan Kattouw, and Sam Reed plan to attend.
San Francisco event (21-22 January 2012) — Erik Moeller and Sumana Harihareswara worked on planning for an outreach-focused developers' weekend. Staff and volunteer developers will help interested technologists learn to make awesome things with Wikimedia, by improving the Wikimedia platform, creating new functionality for Wikimedia users, or integrating Wikimedia content into their own products and services.
One new position opened in October: Software Security Engineer, and an RfP was published: RFP/Mobile UI/UX Redesign.
Phil Chang joined the Mobile team as Product Manager (announcement).
Leslie Carr joined the Operations Team as Operations and Network Engineer (announcement).
Antoine Musso joined the MediaWiki Core team as a contractor working on Continuous integration (announcement]).
Amir Aharoni joined the Internationalization and localization team as Software developer (announcement).
Two contractors joined the Strategic Product team: Fabrice Florin, leading the Article feedback 5.0 feature, and Oliver Keyes, acting as Community liaison (announcement).
Gabriel Wicke joined the Features engineering team as Software developer, focusing on the Visual editor (announcement).
Yoni Shostak (project manager), Greg Chiasson (developer), Reha Sterbin (developer) and Sean Heavey (UI designer/front-end developer), from OmniTI, will be working on the Article Feedback 5.0 feature.
Data Centers [?] — Chris Johnson, Rob Halsell and Peter Youngmeister have racked and brought online new servers in Tampa to enhance the capacity of the Bits, MediaWiki and API application servers. Leslie Carr worked on partitioning with PartMan and documented the process. An external firm performed a security audit on our infrastructure on our behalf. The team also addressed several high priority break fixes, like the external data storage failures, and the analytics packet loss due to heavy load with udp2log processing. Peter Youngmeister upgraded all Apache servers to Ubuntu 10.04; Squid servers have also been upgraded, and the Linux kernels have been updated with the latest security patches. Ben Hartshorne continued to set up servers for external storage. Mark Bergsma and Asher Feldman deployed two new servers running a new and improved version of the Bits caching server in Amsterdam, to prepare for the deployment in Ashburn.
Media Storage [?] — During the New Orleans hackathon, developers agreed to create an abstraction layer (FileBackend) which will allow MediaWiki users to use SwiftMedia to store media files, or another filesystem of their choice. They also agreed to re-architect the FileRepo module in Mediawiki.
HTTPS — HTTPS support has been enabled on all Wikimedia sites; mobile support is still to come. At some point in the future, we'll be switching the log-in link to default to logging in via https.
Virtualization test cluster [?] — Wikimedia Labs has been launched. We are starting to install instances to duplicate our production environment. We are also bringing up some instances for non-MediaWiki related work. At the NOLA hackathon, we worked with a team from Canonical to give the juju project access to our environment. A new project from Wikimedia Deutschland, Wikidata, announced they'd be working in the Labs environment as well.
Data Dumps [?] — This month's dump for the English Wikipedia started later in the month (on October 11), since we were waiting for the production roll-out of MediaWiki 1.18. The run completed without issues, and all other servers are also using 1.18 without problems. We set up our first mirror site, hosted by the C3SL at Universidade Federal do Paraná in Brazil, whom we thank for their support. The mirror provides a copy of the last 5 successful dumps of each project and is updated as new dumps complete.
Visual editor — Trevor Parscal worked on a new model tree (and the conversion from the linear model) and updated the software design documentation. Inez Korczynski worked on front-end functionality: dialogs, selecting text, mouse actions, scrolling, keyboard shortcuts, etc. Roan Kattouw focused on algorithms that insert ranges of data into a document, and Neil Kandalgaonkar on the removal of data. On the parser side, a basic parser using PEG is in place, which produces an intermediate JSON object tree; Brion Vibber is still working on markup support (mixed HTML and Wikitext). Gabriel Wicke joined the team and started to work on the PEG parser (read more).
Internationalization and localization tools — Siebrand Mazeland and the rest of the team continued to plan their work using Mingle (credentials: guest/guest). Santhosh Thottingal added new features, and support for more languages, to the WebFonts extension, as well as new keyboard mappings and languages to the Narayam input method extension. Gerard Meijssen started to build language support teams focusing on localization and internationalization. A major achievement was the deployment of the Translate extension to meta-wiki, by Niklas Laxström and Sam Reed; it will be used to translate content pages, e.g. for the 2011 fundraiser. The localization team ended its first sprint as a team, and presented a development showcase.
Article feedback — Work has started on Version 5 of this feature, which will focus on reader engagement, for example by offering new feedback forms and free-text comment fields; a comment moderation system is also planned. This project is led by contractor Fabrice Florin, and will be implemented by an external contracting company, OmniTI.
LiquidThreads 3.0 — Andrew Garrett started working on a conversion script to facilitate the transition from the old schema to the new one.
UploadWizard — Ian Baker implemented multi-file selection. Neil Kandalgaonkar did research on how licenses are used on Commons, added custom wikitext licenses with various safeguards to ensure this wouldn't result in more poorly licensed files, and implemented wording changes on the advice of Wikimedia general counsel. Ben Hartshorne implemented a simple way to add geocoding templates. Jeroen De Dauw also worked on this feature.
ResourceLoader — Roan Kattouw and Timo Tijhof set up a prototype wiki farm to test the gadget repository, and continued to add features like gadget creation in the gadget manager.
Multimedia — Ian Baker and Neil Kandalgaonkar continued to review Michael Dale's code to prepare it for deployment. Ben Hartshorne has set up the initial development environment for Engineering to have a platform on which to test and continue development of the SwiftMedia extension. Ben and Mark Bergsma continue to do performance testing on Swift prior to using it in production. Aaron Schulz started to refactor the file backend code, a requirement to using SwiftMedia.
Mobile Research [?] — Mani Pande and Parul Vora conducted user experience research in the US in three cities (San Francisco, Chicago and Dallas) assisted by UX firm AnswerLab. They met with current and potential mobile readers, as well as editors. They are also finalizing the report on their field research in India and Brazil.
MobileFrontend — The production version of our new Wikimedia mobile platform, launched in September, is no longer considered to be beta. Users can opt-in to the beta program to test new, pre-release features and provide feedback; future features include search suggestions and interwiki links. Phil Chang also set up a mobile features brainstorm page, and started to organize them. In related news, the Wikimedia Foundation is looking for mobile operator partners for its Wikipedia Zero program.
Android Wikipedia App [?] — We partnered with nitobi to create the first official Wikipedia app for Android devices. The app is based on the PhoneGap framework and should be added to the Android market soon. The team is still looking for developers.
2011 Fundraiser — October was a very busy month for fundraising engineering, as the annual fundraiser is about to start. The biggest achievement was the rewrite and deployment of the credit card processing software, the DonationInterface extension. It now supports GlobalCollect, a new payment processor, in addition to the existing ones. Work is underway to add support for non-credit card payments. Another major feature of the extension is the ability to easily create new forms simply by inserting template tags into HTML markup; it also leverages MediaWiki's message translation system using translatewiki.net. Changes were made to the LandingCheck extension to determine whether to send users to donate.wikimedia.org (used by the Wikimedia Foundation) or wikimediafoundation.org (used by some Wikimedia chapters). Donators can now opt out from e-mails directly from the thank-you message they receive after their donation. Last, from an operations perspective, we increased the monitoring capacity of the servers in the payment cluster, as well as the redundancy of systems; we're currently working to implement automatic failover between our data centers.
Kiwix UX initiative [?] — The last critical bugs in version 0.9 of Kiwix (especially on Windows) were fixed, and the release candidate cycle will soon begin. A Kiwix activity was released in alpha for Sugar, a learning platform for children. The first two prototypes of the Kiwix-plug have been built; the Kiwix-plug is a standalone wifi hotspot providing offline Wikipedia content, based on a plug computer.
MediaWiki 1.18 — The deployment of MediaWiki 1.18 was successfully completed on all Wikimedia wikis. Developers are now fixing the remaining bugs before releasing 1.18 for third parties. The first beta is expected in early November.
Code review management — The focus on 1.18, as well as events and conferences, have allowed the backlog of unreviewed commits to increase in October (see chart). There are currently about 350 unreviewed revisions in trunk/phase3/, which means the deployment of MediaWiki 1.19 might not happen until January 2012.
Shell requests — Sam Reed continued to follow up on and fulfill shell requests.
Continuous integration — Chad Horohoe worked with the operations team to finalize the setup of the testing server, now online at https://integration.wikimedia.org. It is currently running Jenkins (PHPUnit), and TestSwarm should be added soon. Antoine Musso will be leading this project going forward.
Git conversion — Chad Horohoe started to prepare for the migration to git; he wrote a script to compare LDAP accounts to the information stored in Code review, and prepared for conversion tests from the current Subversion repository. An important step in the conversion is having names and email addresses for all committers, since neither Git nor Gerrit function well without them. As of this writing, 26 committers do not have any contact information, and 25 have a name but no e-mail address. Please help by filling in the names of committers you know.
Wikimedia Report Card 2.0 — Erik Zachte discovered inconsistencies in the report card numbers, which were investigated and attributed to packet loss of up to 25%. This has now been fixed; further steps to prevent similar issues include adding monitoring to the process, and versioning the configuration files.
Bug management — Mark Hershberger continued to hold themed bug triage sessions; in October, those focused on Fundraiser engineering and the new Wikipedia Android app. Two ad-hoc triages, on shell requests and 1.18 regressions, happened during the New Orleans hackathon. Mark also worked with members of the "MediaWiki Core" group to better identify "highest priority" bugs in Bugzilla and continued to prioritize and respond to new bug reports.
Summer of Code 2011 — Sumana Harihareswara, Neil Kandalgaonkar and Max Semenik attended the GSoC mentor summit in Mountain View, California. Students Salvatore Ingala and Kevin Brown made progress on integrating their summers' work into MediaWiki trunk, during the New Orleans hackathon; much of the GSoC students' work remains to be integrated into MediaWiki core or extensions.
Engineering project documentation — Guillaume Paumier performed continuous maintenance of engineering project pages, and assembled this report.
Volunteer coordination and outreach — Sumana Harihareswara continued to go through the backlog of commit access requests, and participated in a discussion on making it easier to get Subversion commit access. In October, eleven people got commit access, of which six were volunteers and five were WMF staff or contractors. She began to organize a triage of database-related bugs to benefit MediaWiki developers and administrators who use RDBMSes other than MySQL, and encouraged volunteers who are interested in leading hackathons, teaching classes, or attended conferences to talk about MediaWiki. She also followed up with volunteers and potential new developers, notably from the New Orleans hackathon and Google Summer of Code mentors' summit.
MediaWiki architecture document — Guillaume Paumier finished the write-up of the document, based on the input provided by developers, the existing documentation on mediawiki.org, the auto-generated documentation from doxygen, and deep dives into the actual code. The MediaWiki community reviewed the document, which was submitted to the book's editors. This project is considered to be mostly completed. Further work will include minor polishing and follow-up on the document and its publication, and integration of the content into the relevant pages on mediawiki.org.

From here, you will drive to the river where your water adventure begins with a short walk through the rain forest to meet your guide and 2 person kayaks at the starting point.
After some instructions from your guide, you and your co-paddler board your kayak and enter the fast flowing water. The swift currents carry your kayak downstream, challenging you and your partner to paddle confidently through various areas of exciting white water rapids and picturesque river pools. You will use teamwork to paddle through the twists and turns of rushing white-water rapids. The river rapids are rated class 1 and class 2 (easy to moderate) and the river flow is rated class 3 (swift moving water). Recent weather conditions can effect the river flow and level. Average time on the river is 90 minutes.
The river currents carry your kayak over one final cascade as you pass under an old colonial stone bridge and head towards the Caribbean Sea where you will paddle your kayak to a private beach. Here you will have approximately 30 minutes free time to swim, sun or purchase a refreshment from the beach bar.
Participants must be at least 12 years of age. Minors must be accompanied by an adult of at least 18 years of age. The maximum weight per horse is 240 pounds. Guests weighing more than this will not be allowed to ride and will not be entitled to a refund. Guests must be able to walk down / up embankment to reach river. River bottom is uneven with sand and rocks. Shoes should be worn.

Study indicates babies whose mothers got vaccinated during pregnancy can develop COVID-19 antibodies
57% developed antibodies at 6 months

Some babies whose mothers received an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy have been shown to develop virus-fighting antibodies by the time they reach six months in age, according to a research letter published Monday by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
According to Reuters, the small study has not yet been peer-reviewed and only tracked a few dozen subjects. However, the findings offer hope that some children will develop tools to fight COVID-19 even though they're not eligible to be vaccinated themselves.
According to the research letter, the study tracked a handful of women who got either the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine during their pregnancy. Those mothers all got their shots between 20 to 32 weeks gestation — when, according to Reuters, the transfer of maternal antibodies to the fetus via the placenta is at its highest.
Researchers followed up with 28 of those babies six months after birth and found that 16 — or 57% — had developed detectable antibodies that can fight COVID-19.
The study also tracked dozens of women who contracted COVID-19 during their pregnancies. Researchers followed up with 12 of those babies six months after their birth and found that only one (8%) had developed detectable antibodies.
"Although the antibody titer known to be protective against COVID-19 in infants is unknown, these findings provide further incentive for pregnant individuals to pursue COVID-19 vaccination," the research letter read.
As Reuters points out that the body has other tools to fight against COVID-19. But the study leaders noted that more research could prove valuable because infants and young children are currently ineligible to get vaccinated and that COVID-19 cases in that age group "account(s) for a disproportionate burden of pediatric SARS-CoV-2–associated morbidity."
Pfizer has submitted an application to the FDA for emergency use authorization for its COVID-19 vaccine for children aged 6 months to 4 years old. While Pfizer submitted the EUA for a two-shot regimen, the company has signaled that children between 2 and 4 will likely need three shots.

AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A KIRKUS BEST BOOK
A USA TODAY BESTSELLER
A NATIONAL INDIE BESTSELLER
"A bone-chilling standalone . . . which fuses Shirley Jackson's gothic horror sensibilities with the warmth and dark whimsy of Neil Gaiman."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Gripping worldbuilding, well-rounded characters, and fantastic horror."—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Unsettling and intriguing."—Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review)
Everything casts a shadow. Even the world we live in. And as with every shadow, there is a place where it must touch. A seam, where the shadow meets its source.
#1 New York Times–bestselling author V. E. Schwab weaves a dark and original tale about the place where the world meets its shadow, and the young woman beckoned by both sides. The Secret Garden meets Crimson Peak in this stand-alone novel perfect for readers of Holly Black and Neil Gaiman.
Olivia Prior has grown up in Merilance School for Girls, and all she has of her past is her mother's journal—which seems to unravel into madness. Then, a letter invites Olivia to come home to Gallant. Yet when Olivia arrives, no one is expecting her. But Olivia is not about to leave the first place that feels like home; it doesn't matter if her cousin Matthew is hostile, or if she sees half-formed ghouls haunting the hallways.
Olivia knows that Gallant is hiding secrets, and she is determined to uncover them. When she crosses a ruined wall at just the right moment, Olivia finds herself in a place that is Gallant—but not. The manor is crumbling, the ghouls are solid, and a mysterious figure rules over all. Now Olivia sees what has unraveled generations of her family, and where her father may have come from.
Olivia has always wanted to belong somewhere, but will she take her place as a Prior, protecting our world against the Master of the House? Or will she take her place beside him?
New York Times–bestselling author V. E. Schwab crafts a vivid and lush novel that grapples with the demons that are often locked behind closed doors. An eerie, stand-alone saga about life, death, and the young woman beckoned by both. Readers of Neil Gaiman, Holly Black, Melissa Albert, and Garth Nix will quickly lose themselves in this novel with crossover appeal for all ages.
V. E. Schwab is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of more than twenty books, ranging from middle grade to teen to adult. Her books have garnered critical acclaim and been featured in the New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, the Washington Post, and NPR; have been translated into more than a dozen languages; and been optioned for television and film. Schwab, an avid traveler, received her MFA from the University of Edinburgh, where her thesis was about the presence of monsters in medieval art. She lives in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Praise for Gallant
"A haunting and beautifully tilled garden of darkness, V. E. Schwab's Gallant unearths the shadows—webs of family history, the price of deadly bargains, and the secrets we guard—plunging readers into a triumphant tale that can't be missed." — Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times–bestselling author
"Seeking a place to call home, Olivia uncovers long-buried secrets after arriving at Gallant. . . . Olivia unravels the ominous secrets of both her family and the house, where ghouls lurk around every corner and the dilapidated garden gate calls to her. The evolving relationships between Olivia and her found family shine, and themes of freedom, the self, and belonging are well depicted. . . . The gripping writing and effective incorporation of horror elements, including haunting, inky artwork, are satisfyingly spine-tingling." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Olivia is elated to receive a letter from her uncle Arthur, inviting her to come live at Gallant, the Priors' estate. Upon arriving, however, Olivia learns that Arthur is dead, and neither her ill-tempered cousin, Matthew, nor the manor's kindly caretakers are expecting her. . . . [But] she's determined to uncover the truth regarding her family's past in this place. Evocative prose, eerie [black and white] artwork by Šumberac, and superbly rendered characters . . . elevate this affective, bone-chilling standalone from Schwab, which fuses Shirley Jackson's gothic horror sensibilities with the warmth and dark whimsy of Neil Gaiman." — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Fourteen-year-old Olivia is grateful, if a little shocked, when she receives a letter from a previously unknown uncle inviting her to his manor estate, Gallant. . . . This story strikes just the right balance between menace and melancholy, and the undercurrent of grief running beneath the suspense and horror brings emotional nuance and deep sympathy for each character . . . Schwab's exquisite prose is rich . . . A surefire hit . . . [for] any reader looking for a dark read on a stormy night." — Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review)
"When a letter arrives at Merilance inviting Olivia to come to Gallant, a mysterious old home, she may finally have found the family she's always wanted. . . . Schwab nestles this story of heritage and hope into rich, evenly paced prose. Readers of character-driven literary fiction will be mesmerized by this darkly magical tale. . . . [Gallant] will appeal to all her audiences." — Booklist
"Schwab uses a blend of Gothic, fantasy, and horror to create an unsettling story that reads like a cautionary folktale to beware the shadows. . . . There is so much grief in this story: over losing family, home, and the way things were. . . . A must-buy for . . . [fans of] Holly Black, Neil Gaiman, Emily Lloyd-Jones, and other authors of creepy and unnerving tales." — School Library Journal
"[When] a letter arrives from a hitherto-unknown uncle, welcoming Olivia back home to the family estate . . . she discovers a mirrored world where a Death-like demon reigns, making knights of his shadows and sucking the life out of every living thing. . . . Olivia is a stalwart and sympathetic heroine, whose actions occasionally defy the rules of the house but never those of the heart. Bittersweet, gripping, and with atmosphere to spare, Schwab's latest gothic tale is exactly the right mix of dark and delightful." — Horn Book Magazine

Treatment for GERD varies depending on its severity. Conservative treatment often involves lifestyle changes to alleviate symptoms. Patients are encouraged to quit smoking, avoid excessive stooping or bending, maintain a healthy weight and wear loose-fitting clothing.
Tomatoes and citrus foods also should be avoided, since acid from these foods can irritate the esophagus further.
Because GERD symptoms often increase when a person lies down, some physicians recommend raising the head of the bed about six inches so that gravity can help prevent reflux from rising into the esophagus.
Antacids can help reduce heartburn symptoms by neutralizing the acid in the stomach, but they are not effective for treating esophageal irritation. Common side effects of antacids include diarrhea and constipation.
Other medications are available in over-the-counter and prescription formulas to treat GERD. In many cases, over-the-counter medications are about half the strength of prescription medications.
H-2 receptor blockers (e.g., Pepcid AC, Tagamet) can reduce the amount of acid reflux. These medications work more slowly than antacids, but provide longer relief. Side effects include dry mouth, dizziness, and drowsiness.
Proton pump inhibitors (e.g., Prilosec, Nexium, Prevacid, Aciplex, Zegerid; generic versions) inhibit acid production and give the esophagus a chance to heal. These medications are used daily for a short period of time (e.g., 14 days). Side effects include headache, stomach pain, and diarrhea. Proton pump inhibitors should only be used as directed by a physician. Long-term effects of these medications are not yet known.
In 2009, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) dexlansoprazole (Kapidex Delayed Release Capsules) treat GERD and reflux esophagitis, and to reduce chronic heartburn caused by acid reflux, as well as an over-the-counter strength of omeprazole (Zegerid OTC) to treat frequent heartburn. Kapidex, which is available in two doses and is taken once daily, provides two releases of medication. It can be taken for up to 4 weeks to reduce symptoms of GERD and can be used for as many as 6 months to treat esophagitis. Common side effects are similar to those caused by other proton pump inhibitors and include abdominal pain, nausea, and diarrhea.
In 2011, the FDA approved esomeprazole sodium (Nexium I.V.) injection to treat GERD patients who have a history of erosive esophagitis. This medication can be used up to 10 days and is administered either by once daily by intravenous injection or intravenous infusion. Side effects include headache, dry mouth, dizziness, and nausea.
Prokinetic agents (e.g., metoclopramide), which are available by prescription, may be used with H-2 receptor blockers to treat GERD. Instead of reducing or preventing acid production, these drugs help food move through the stomach more efficiently and can help strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter. These medications may cause nausea, diarrhea, confusion, sleeplessness, and depression.

Q: GREG services bulk load approach I'm planning to get GREG from WSO2 as business service registry. We're currently storing services in a Spreadsheet as a delimited text file. Services are still abstract concepts (operations not).
Which is the best approach (painless, programming-less...) to do a bulk load of about 660 business services and 12000 operations?

A: The most painless way probably is using the registry client. WSO2 provides a java based client you can use to easily access the registry. It won't be completely painless, but with a couple of lines of code you could easily add this information.
On other option would be to directly plug in to the underlying JCR repository or database, but than your entering the painful area I think.

At first I planned to rant about the way that Cadbury-Schweppes has tried to turn the benzene in soda controversy to their favor by releasing 7-Up Natural. (I wrote more about Benzene and Soda yesterday). Yet removing the offending chemicals from your formula is a very appropriate reponse. It obviously has marketing benefits for the company, and it removes another source of benzene from the supermarket shelves.
Cadbury-Schweppes removed (most) of the artificial ingredients from 7-Up, including sodium benzoate. So now they have no additional lawsuit potential from cancer-stricken customers who might one day try to sue.
There is some controversy about the claim that 7-Up is now "100% Natural" since they still use high-fructose corn syrup as a major ingredient.
Whether they took this step primarily to remove the benzene or primarily as a marketing ploy, the net effect is still quite positive. Let's hope the rest of the soft drink makers follow suit.

The electoral process is severly broken in the United States at the national, state, and county levels. I've talked a lot about voting machine problems.
The other big problem, in my opinion, is that third party voices are actively prevented from speaking in the same forums as their major party counterparts.
Ever since the success of Ross Perot in the 1992 Presidential Election, the two ruling parties have done everything in their power to prevent third party candidates from getting on state ballots and from participating in televised debates.
In most states, the Secretary of State determines how elections are governed and implemented. Few people paid much attention to the Secretary of State position until two then-unknown politicians, Kathleen Harris of Florida in 2000 and Ken Blackwell of Ohio in 2004, abused their positions to influence election results in favor of their own Republican party candidates.
Now it is clear that an unscrupulous Secretary of State can subvert the elections process and deny many legitimate citizens the right to vote. A strong and impartial Secretary, on the other hand, could go a long way toward making a state's elections far more democratic.
The best candidate for Secreatary of State would be neither a Democrat nor a Republican. A candidate from a third party has much more motivation to make elections fair, to make every vote count, and to let every qualified candidate have a voice.
Forrest Hill is a Green Party candidate for Secretary of State in California in 2006. He is committed to voting reform, as evidenced by this quote from his blog:
The accuracy of our elections will take a giant step backwards if either Bruce McPherson (R) or Debra Bowen (D) are elected Secretary of State. While the two candidates differ on various technical issues surrounding the certification of voting machines, both continue to support an open market for our votes controlled by private voting machine manufactures.
Since there are 58 counties in California, the potential number of voting systems in our state is large. No matter what safeguards Bowen or McPherson dream up, putting the integrity of our votes into the hands of a 'network' of private corporations is really a recipe for disaster.
If we are serious about assuring the accuracy of our vote we need a Secretary of State that will work with the local county registrars to create a 'single uniform system of voting' throughout the state, administered by a non-partisan elections commission.
As expected Forrest Hill has been locked out from debates with the Republican and Democratic candidates.
The deck is usually stacked against third party candidates. These days, the deck is even stacked against fair voting. The only cure for that kind of deck-stacking is to elect a third party candidate for Secretary of State.
Whatever your party affiliation, if you are a California voter I urge you to vote for Forrest Hill for Secretary of State on November 7th.

Taking a break from this blog's voting theme, I wanted to raise awareness of a big sleeper of a health issue.
A carcinogenic compound known as benzene can form in drinks that contain ascorbic acid and either sodium benzoate or potassium benzoate.
Guess what: a lot of soft drinks contain both of those ingredients.
Benzene is one of the most carcinogenic compounds around. If benzene levels in public drinking water exceed 5 parts per billion (ppb) the press must be notified and public warnings must be broadcast.
Most soft drinks have levels below 5 ppb, but a few of them test much higher than that. And when they do test higher, their consumers don't get notified at all.
The FDA and various soft drink companies have known about this for about 16 years. The FDA chose to let the drink manufacturers police themselves. A few manufacturers reformulated their drinks to prevent benzene from forming, but most of them did little or nothing.
As a recent Canadian study showed, testing by the drink manufacturers in controlled factory conditions seems to produce much different results than testing on randomly selected drinks from store shelves.
It seems that the amount of benzene formed depends a lot on whether that batch of soda was affected by heat or light during transportation or storage. So even though they say that standard Coca Cola has less than 2 ppm of benzene in it, if you take a plastic liter bottle of Coke and put it in the sun for a while, all bets are off.
So basically, the only safe bet is to "avoid or limit the consumption of products that contain both ascorbic acid and sodium/potassium benzoate."
A recent FDA report said that there's "not enough data" to understand whether benzene in soda is really a threat. Of course that lets them and the food corporations delay taking any action for a while longer.
Nice of the FDA to sit on this for so long, giving us 16 extra years of drinking refreshing benzene, eh?
For more information about the perils of benzene in your soda, the Accidental Hedonist blog did a great article on the topic earlier this year.
That article cited an editorial by Dr. Ruth Kava of the American Council on Science and Health (ACSH) that claims that fears of benzene in soft drinks are overblown. However a quick look at the other articles on the ACSH site reveal Dr. Kava's unspoken agenda. Other headlines on the site today included "DDT Use is Long Overdue" and "Threat of Low-Level Radiation Often Exaggerated." Every article brands some health concern as overblown, or some environmental progam as a waste of taxpayers' money. Dr. Kava and her organization seem to be trying to sow confusion and to prevent a consensus from forming on this issue.
The plain fact is, if benzene is bad for us, and if it doesn't need to be in our food and drink, it should be removed. Now.

Lisa Cholodenko to Direct Lena Headey Showtime Pilot
Variety October 2, 2019
Lisa Cholodenko, known for her directorial work on the "Olive Kitteridge" miniseries at HBO and the 2010 feature "The Kids Are All Right," has been tapped to helm a Showtime pilot.
The project in question is "Rita," an hour-long dramedy which is set to star "Game of Thrones" actress Lena Headey in the title role. Headey's character in the project is described as a headstrong, unconventional teacher and single mother who takes on every kind of authority – as well as her family – in a messy and unfiltered way. Cholodenko and Headey will also executive produce.
'On Becoming a God in Central Florida' Renewed for Season 2 at Showtime
'Fleabag' Star Andrew Scott Cast as Lead in Showtime Patricia Highsmith Series
TV News Roundup: Blythe Danner Joins 'American Gods' Season 3
"Rita" is being written and executive produced by Christian Torpe and is based on his original Danish series. The prospective series hails from Showtime and Platform One Media, which is headed by Katie O'Connell Marsh and has Elisa Ellis exec producing on the pilot.
Most recently, Cholodenko directed the first three episodes of the Netflix limited series "Unbelievable" with Toni Collette, Merritt Waever and Kaitlyn Dever. Her other notable film credits include "Laurel Canyon" and her debut feature "High Art."
She is repped by ICM Partners and attorney David Colden.
The project is among several pilots in the works at the premium cabler, including the Lena Waithe-produced "How to Make Love to a Black Woman (Who May Be Working Through Some Sh*t)," and a project about a group of high school girls soccer players who survive a plane crash deep in the Ontario wilderness titled "Yellowjackets."

Hello dear reader, I hope you are having a wonderful day. I would really love to say "I am no stress expert" but that would be a bit untrue. Through my five years in HYPERLINK "file:///C:\Users\Jonathan\Documents\BLOG%20POSTs\oauife.edu.ng" University, I have been found in very tight spots. One quite hilarious day I had was probably a Monday; I had spent the night after Church and fellowship, reading. I woke up to see I had slept almost past the time for my first lecture so I hurriedly left my room (not sure if I had a bath), then I took to my heels. Running breathless, I had only gone barely halfway when a Lucifer-ous rumble started down my navel and the nearest toilet was totally off my path to class, I could feel this was not the solid type that could be held-up for later, my course changed for that time. I emerged victorious anyways despite I had to figure how to placate the lecturer. I remember walking into a test 30 minutes late and I had only about that much time left, I had missed the test question but mercifully the lecturer allowed a colleague dictate to me. How do you think I spent the rest of the day?
Breathe easy: remember to stop holding your breathe to see what calamity may fall next, you may have had the roughest season with the books yet its better to relish what is directly in front of you that moment. I have had days when I just saw a not-too-good result and I would feel like being an ostrich for the rest of the day but after some time of practice I came to find that its much more profitable though harder to do, to just find another reason to keep moving and hitting the books hard.
Find a hobby: It is one of the best things that I could ever do for myself, I had so many things I wanted to be good at while in school, they started as hobbies but I later turned them into Jobs, try not to be like that. Find that one thing that when you do it, you are 100% having fun (Good fun).
Avoid depressive company: There are different types of people one could be with at different moments in school, there are the goal getters and positively motivated ones and there are also "Devil's Advocates" who only see the worst in every situation, avoid them like the plague. They may not necessarily be bad people, they may even have the same religious persuasions but by the virtue of their self-development or the lack of it thereof, they have the greater tendency to sit in the mud and wallow. Please move far from such.
Finally you may have another medium to share your academic experiences with the world and hope that people who have been in your shoes would lend a voice. Mail me your story if you would like to be heard ( HYPERLINK "mailto:jonathanoladeji@gmail.com" jonathanoladeji@gmail.com). This is my blog and I am determined to serve a world of youths and young minds out there.
Love that hurts or lusts.

Booklist: Reading Month 2017
By | BookLists
Celebrate Reading Month with award-winning books and activities everyone will love! Start by introducing the 2017 winners of the Randolph Caldecott Medal, the John Newbery Medal, the Coretta Scott King awards, and the Theodor Seuss Geisel award.
2017 Caldecott Medal Winner
Radiant Child: The Story of Young Artist Jean-Michel Basquiat
Radiant Child: The Story of Young Artist Jean-Michel Basquiat by Javaka Steptoe was awarded the Randolph Caldecott Medal; a medal that recognizes notable picture books for children. Basquiat's talent for painting and drawing with different mediums inspired the author/illustrator, Javaka Steptoe, to do the same. Scraps of wood, colorful paint, chalk drawings, newspaper clippings, photographs, and pencil drawings fill the pages with intriguing illustrations. Children will appreciate reading the biography of an artist with a relentless passion for creating art with no limitations.
Take a Closer Look at Caldecott Medal Winners
Encourage your students to become art experts by looking closely at the illustrations of Caldecott Medal winners. Ask students to discuss what they notice about the illustrations. Next, spend some time helping students determine the kind of art they find most appealing. You might even involve your school's art teacher to help your students identify the mediums used across the different medal winning books.
BookPagez offers more extension activities for use with the following Caldecott Medal winners:
Owl Moon
Snowflake Bentley
So You Want to be President
Sylvester and the Magic Pebble
The Snowy Day
2017 John Newbery Medal
The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill was awarded the John Newbery Medal for being the most notable children's book published in 2016. You'll want to put this book in the hands of the child who love stories of wondrous magic, good witches, humorous dragons and gentle monsters. The story begins with a good-natured witch who finds a baby girl alone in the forest. The witch is instantly enamored with the baby and takes her home to meet her friends; a dragon and a monster. The reader quickly learns there is something magical about the baby who seems to gather her power from the moon.
Pair this book with The BFG by Roald Dahl and study the strong plot lines; a criterion for the John Newbery Award. Although The BFG was never a consideration for the Newbery Award because Roald Dahl was not an American author, children may argue that the plot line is worthy of the award. Try using this set of lesson plans and Book Club activities with The BFG to focus on the figurative language used in the book.
Take a Closer Look at Newberry Medal Winners
John Newbery Award winning books have strong plots. Spend some time discussing the qualities of a strong plot by reading other award-winning books. For example, you might use the Sarah, Plain and Tall Super Pack to focus on the ways characters are developed across text to confirm the book was worthy of the 1986 John Newbery Award.
2017 Coretta Scott King Award
The Coretta Scott King Award recognizes important literature by African American writers and illustrators. This year, the illustrator award went to "Radiant Child" by Javaka Steptoe. The author award went to "March: Book Three" by John Lewis and Andrew Aydin.
Take a Closer Look at Coretta Scott King Winners
March: Book Three is a graphic novel that will inform your students about the relentless fight for basic human rights during the Civil Rights Movement. Readers will find themselves asking questions about the events in the book, curious to learn more about what took place not too long ago. Pair this book with Brown Girl Dreaming, another Coretta Scott King Author Award Winner. Then use the Research and Write templates from BookPagez to guide students as they ask questions about the Civil Rights Movement. You can further explore the movement with the Brown Girl Dreaming Super Pack, and support readers by checking for understanding with supplied conversation prompts.
2017 Theodor Seuss Geisel Award
We Are Growing
We Are Growing by Laurie Keller and Mo Willems won the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award. This award recognizes remarkable books for beginning readers. Fans of the Elephant and Piggie series will be overjoyed to see their favorite characters introduce this engaging story that personifies blades of grass. Large speech bubbles throughout the story are full of silly sounds the grass makes as it grows.
Take a Closer Look at Theodor Seuss Geisel Winners
There is a surprise ending in this story that delivers an interesting message for children to consider, much like I Want My Hat Back, a 2012 Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor book. Give children the opportunity to reread these funny books that will surely make them laugh. Both books are perfect for practicing retelling and summarizing. For detailed lessons, please visit the I Want My Hat Back Super Pack by BookPagez.

The issue of developing state development strategy in Armenia of television and radio spheres is not within the competence of the National Commission of Television and Radio
ArmInfo. The issue of developing state development strategy in Armenia of television and radio spheres is not within the competence of the National Commission of Television and Radio, on July 7, the head of the commission Gagik Buniatyan stated from the platform of Armenian Parliament answering the question of Nikol Pashinyan, lawmaker of National Assembly of the Armenia, whether the state policy in the field of television and radio broadcasting is being worked out.
According to Buniatyan, there are countries with information ministries that are engaged in advocacy, but this policy for Armenia is fraught with certain negative consequences. For this reason, at present there is no such structure in the republic, which, according to Buniatyan, is a positive phenomenon, and the commission headed by him does not deal with such issues. In order to address the issues raised, it will be possible to find solutions in other formats, hold forums and conferences.
Presenting the annual report on the activities of the commission in 2016, Gagik Buniatyan said that during the reporting period, 95 television and 18 radio companies operated in the country. During the past year, the commission granted 7 licenses for broadcasting, of which 3 - to Yerevan, and 4 - to the region. In addition, in 2016, the broadcasting of 8 radio licenses for broadcasting of radio programs was terminated, 4 of them according to the application and the same number in connection with the expiration of licenses. Last year, 19 applications for the renewal of licenses for broadcasting were also approved. Penalties in the amount of 198.3 million drams were applied for violation of the provisions of the current legislation with regard to a number of TV and radio companies.

Home Horeca Hotels Two AX Hotels receive accolades in one week
Two AX Hotels receive accolades in one week
Thursday, 28 February, 2019 at 11:57
(source: official Facebook page of AX The Victoria Hotel)
AX The Victoria was recognised as Malta's Top 10 Hotels by TripAdvisor, according to a press statement published by AX Hotels. The accolade comes a week after an award from booking.com recognised AX The Saint John.
Based on reviews and opinions from millions of travellers, AX The Victoria was given the Travellers' Choice awards by TripAdvisor, ranking the hotel in the top 1% of all hotels, the press statement says.
"Last year AX The Victoria has gone through a total refurbishment, and I am thrilled that people are responding to it so positively. Our hotel is all about treating our guests like royalty in a classic Victorian style. As I like to say 5-star service in 4-star accommodation," says Kevin Callus, AX Hotels Sliema Manager commented about the award.
READ Malta's rented accommodation guest nights narrowing gap further
"I was very pleased to learn about the awards that our chain AX Hotels is receiving. Our mission with each of our properties is to offer outstanding service within unique and distinctive surroundings," says Claire Zammit Xuereb, AX Hospitality Director. "So each of our properties has the edge over each other as well as our competition. AX The Saint John is designed with an Industrial concept in mind while still blending in the Baroque aspect of the building, thereby creating a unique experience – it's ideal for tech-savvy, independent travellers. While AX The Victoria honours the Victorian style and offers comfort that couples or families would seek in a city hotel. A hotel with a special charm driven by its people. I am glad that our vision translates into guests' positive experiences. Well done to AX Hotels' teams," the director adds
