Q: Angular FormGroup Validation on an addControl I Am using Angular 9.
I would like to validate the form.
I have the following:
ts
  public fg: FormGroup = new FormGroup({});

            ...

            const person: Person = {x: i, y: j, personId: personId, firstName: firstName, lastName: lastName, email: email, companyName: this.approvalEdit.companyName, staffCode: staffCode};
            this.fg.addControl('userName['+i+']['+j+']', new FormControl(person));

Do you know where I need to add Validators.required?
I have tried new FormControl(person, [Validators.required]), but I think my problem might be that person is an object, and it is always present. I need to check that person.personId is persent.
html
<input formControlName="userName[{{i}}][{{j}}]" matInput [matAutocomplete]="auto" [ngClass]="{'is-invalid': fg.get('userName['+i+']['+j+']').touched && fg.get('userName['+i+']['+j+']').invalid}">

Some people like to get out of bed and start their day with a few stretches or exercises. This sounds great in theory, but your morning workout routine may put you at risk for injuring your back. Make sure your workout does not include any activities where you are flexing/bending your spine. What is one common exercise where people flex their spine? Sit-ups. The typical sit-up-performed with knees bent and lying on your back-places significant stress on your spine. You should avoid this typical sit-up. There are multiple alternatives to the typical sit-up mentioned that place less stress on your spine. Additionally, avoid any stretches or exercises that force you to bend your back, such as touching as your toes.

State Bond Commission Approves $10 Million for Critical Autism Services at Hospital for Special Care
NEW BRITAIN, Conn. (July 25, 2018) — Hospital for Special Care (HSC) announced today that the State Bond Commission has approved $10 million to finance a grant-in-aid to assist with expansion of critical services for youth diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).
"The Hospital for Special Care is extremely grateful for the continued support of Governor Malloy and his Administration as well as for the continued endorsement of the full Bond Commission. We also sincerely appreciate the leadership demonstrated by Senator Gerratana, Representative Sanchez and the whole New Britain delegation as well as that of Representatives Betts and Petit in moving this project forward and want to express a special thanks to Representatives Miller, Abercrombie and Aresimowicz for their continued recognition of the hospital's mission," said Lynn Ricci, FACHE, president and chief executive officer, Hospital for Special Care.
"Autism Spectrum Disorders impact children, youth and families from every community. Thanks to the leadership of our policy makers, Connecticut continues to set an example for the rest of the country in providing effective, high-quality solutions and supports for children diagnosed with ASD," continued Ricci "These funds will allow HSC to expand our unique expertise and continuum of care for youth with the highest level of acuity, reduce inappropriate and prolonged emergency department stays and create Connecticut's first step-up/step-down option for these families."
Approximately 250 children and youth diagnosed with ASD as well as their families, including parents and siblings, will be served in the new and expanded programs each year. Children and families will receive specialized services in inpatient, a new partial hospital level of care and an enhanced outpatient program. Each level of care provides psychiatry, psychology, developmental pediatrics, family therapy, behavioral analysis, planning and training, medication management, speech and occupational therapy. The expansion will create approximately 25 full-time equivalent positions in these disciplines.
Ricci said, "Hospital for Special Care has served as the State of Connecticut's key collaborative partner, uniting clinical expertise with both public and private resources to develop a highly-effective, value-based continuum of care to support children and youth diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders and their families.
"HSC's commitment to our patients and their families continues to guide our service development and delivery. As the only inpatient program for children diagnosed with ASD and the only Patient Centered Specialty Practice in the country, we have provided autism care to nearly 2,000 individuals to date and will continue to expand access to care to meet urgent community need," she said.
The funds will assist in building the Autism Center at Hospital for Special Care's capacity is to utilize its unique expertise to expand services by:
 Increasing access to inpatient care from eight to 12 beds.
 Developing a Partial Hospitalization Program to provide a step-down/step-up solution not currently available in Connecticut. This unique service will provide support for children and youth to transition successfully back into the community following an inpatient stay and help others remain safely at home without requiring an inpatient level of care.
 Enhancing outpatient services to ensure continuity of care.
Earlier this month, the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) recognized the Autism Center at Hospital for Special Care as the nation's first and only level-three PCSP. Level-three is the highest that a specialty practice can achieve. The Autism Center at HSC first achieved level-one PCSP designation in 2015. NCQA Patient-Centered Specialty Practice Recognition is an innovative program for improving specialty care. With a set of standards that describe clear and specific criteria, the program gives practices information about organizing care around patients, working in teams, and coordinating and tracking care over time with primary care and specialty care colleagues.

The third half penny struck for Australia was struck at the Royal mint London in 1913. Just over 2 million half pennies were struck that year though it is quite a difficult piece to find in mint state with no notable hoards having turned up. Mint state examples tend to be around the MS64 level though finding examples beyond this can be extremely difficult. Finding examples with original mint brilliance can also be quite a challenge and is often favoured over higher grade brown pieces. There are three variations in the date spacing and alignment for the 1913 half penny, the two most commonly attributed are the wide date and narrow date varieties though Dean indicates a third exists which is similar to the narrow date except with a slight variance in the alignment of the '9'(Dean, J, 1964).
Images: (Triton Technologies International Ltd, 2000) The Wide date is scarcer than the Narrow date but out of the two narrow date varieties, it is difficult to ascertain the relative scarcity as dealers and collectors rarely distinguish the two varieties.

The most destructive enemy of the homes we live in is slow leaks.
There are things you simply must know to eliminate leaks and future corrosion.

On reading recent newspapers and watching news programmes, Alistair Stirling of Stirling Careers Consultancy see some organisations are struggling to adapt to changing market conditions or in danger of going out of business in 2017.
For example, considering the steelworks in South Wales, which have been reprieved for 4 to 5 years, workers there should now seriously consider all their options, just in case the business does not progress as expected.
All the research suggests that if people spend time planning in advance for such eventualities they are more likely to make a successful transition to the next destination.
With the onset of globalisation and advances in technology there are many organisations under threat. Ways of working are also changing which might not suit everyone.
It is time to consider your options.
If you are in a position, like the workers at the steelworks, then you will have some time to consider your options.
These are just some of the signs, but for those in the public sector most redundancies are being made to reduce costs due to the reduction in money received from central government.
One of the first things you can do is start thinking about your transferable skills.
Transferable skills are general skills that can be used in many jobs.
These can be gained from your current role, previous jobs, projects, voluntary work, sport, your home life, hobbies and interests.
They will enable you to be adaptable and be flexible in case you need to change career in future.
It is worthwhile writing a list of all your skills and achievements and things you enjoy doing.
If you have some ideas initially it is worth exploring these ideas online, talking to people doing the role(s) and possibly shadowing somebody doing that role.
If you are unsure about what career might suit you it is possible to undertake psychometric assessments. However, these are only a guide.
Alistair Stirling is qualified and trained to use some psychometric assessment tools.
Once you have some ideas, it is important to start putting an action plan together. It may mean that that you have to take a step backwards to gain a qualification.

My brain will explode
by Alex Bogdanov 15 Replies latest jw friends
Alex Bogdanov
I am so tired to talk to JWs that I know. I think one day I will become rude and ingore them and avoid them. Every conversation ends like this-
Me. You know the verse from Deuteronomy 18:22 about false prophet?
JW. Yes.
Me. You know how much faithful slave changed their opinion.
Me. You know that in the past faithful slave was saying that they are inspired by God and now they say they are not.
Me. So why are you still going there if by the Bible's standarts you are part of the Babylon.
JW. How did you come to that conclusion?
Me. What? Organisation is constantly lying. Just like the Babylon.
JW. Its not lies its mistakes.
Me. Oh, ok. Its just simple mistakes. Well maybe Catholics are doing simple mistakes as well. Maybe all religions are slightly wrong, tiny mistakes, no big deal. By your logic everyone deserves to be in the new world.
JW. We are the truth and only we will survive.
Me. Based on what?
JW. Based on what Bible says.
Me. Lets discuss what the Bible says about the false prophet.
And the never ending loop beggins. So fed up. Its like talking to a wall that doesn't have ears.
I feel for you. why bother?
smiddy3
I go up to an orthodox jew who is praying at the wailing wall in Jerusalem and ask him how long has he been doing this and he reply`s all of my 70 years of life .
I ask him what does he pray for and he says peace among the Arabs and the Israelis and the Palestinians above all ?
And i ask him and how do you think your prayers are being answered ?
and he says sometimes I`m thinking I`m just talking to a bloody brick wall .
Ask any JW if the Catholic church's practice of voluntarily confessing to one priest is unscriptural.
They'll automatically want to say 'yes.'
Then ask them why J.W.'s are compelled to confess their serious sins to three elders? (scriptural backing?)
Matthew 18:15-17 says nothing about elders being involved when someone commits a serious sin.
In fact, Jesus explicitly stated that if a serious sin has been witnessed by someone, the matter should be resolved by the sinner and the witness. No one else was to be involved. Jesus never said anything about Christians having to confess to elders. (verse 16 is referring to other witnesses of the sin - not witnesses of the accusation)
Get them to read Matthew 18:17 & 1 Timothy 5:20, and then ask them, "So exactly who did Jesus & Paul say were to be informed of an unrepentant person's sin?" (obviously not just the kangaroo court!)
joe134cd
I'm kind of surprised you haven't been DFed by questioning like that.
Zeb. I will give up soon.
Smiddy3. Yep, thats how it is.
The Fall guy. That is a good point. Sadly Org doesn't understand it and has to know every detail of our lives.
Joe134cd. I have no clue why I am still not DFed. I thought it would happen already a while ago. But all the JWs in the area know that I am a "bad influence" maybe for them it is enough. Who knows? Nobody know what the Org is really up to 🤔
stillin
I'm a "bad influence" just by only showing up at meetings once in a while. I haven't been going to any church. I don't have an extra-marital affair going. None of that. I suppose that I could be seen enjoying my occasional cigar and asked to the back room for it, but that hasn't happened yet.
Personally, I think that the elders aren't as fast to DF as they used to be. But I might as well be DF'd, nobody stops by to say hello. Nobody calls. I was texted by a goodguy elder about the CO being in town, but that's the full extent of how much anybody cares about me dying at Armageddon.
The Wittnesses have their own demons to deal with.

Vanderhoven7
Alex - You might want to break them out of the loop by asking some embarrassing questions which shed light on the fact that the WTS is not directed by holy spirit. Some of these questions I picked up on this site.
How well do you know your organization's history? (from recent to remote)
a. How do you respond to the accusation that your religion has failed to protect children from pedophiles within your organization?
Do you think the two witness rule helps protect children from predators in the congregation?
Have you heard about the Australian Royal Commission investigations?
Do you know how many child sex abuse cases that the WTS in Australia failed to report to authorities since 1960? (over 1000)
b. What are your personal thoughts about your religion being associated with the UN (wild beast of Revelation) as an NGO for approximately 10 years from 1991 to 2000? Do you know the WTS stated reason for joining? (to acquire a library card)
c. Can you tell me why JWs with severe kidney or liver malfunctions were out of luck before 1980? (from 1967 to 1980 organ transplants = cannibalism)
d. Do you know why JW hemophiliacs were frightened in the late 1970s? (1975-1978 hemophiliac preparations were banned)
e. Do you know why Jehovah's Witnesses got so excited that they began selling their homes in the early 1970s? (It was for the same reason JW teens were not planning careers or even taking trade courses after high school; it was considered dangerous - no time-systems end so close)
f. Do you know why Jehovah's Witnesses were more susceptible to disease than worldly people before 1952? (From 1927-1952 vaccinations were banned as a violation of the everlasting covenant)
g. Do you know why JWs were advised not to marry or have children in the 30s & 40s? (Armageddon so close)
h. Do you know why JWs were adding rooms onto their homes in the early 1920s? (because in 1926 they could call Abraham in Jerusalem and ask him to raise grandma)
After every question you can ask if this was evidence of holy spirit's direction.
Great Questions Vanderhoven7
Here's a few more......... do you understand that in the bible it says that if you come across a dead animal that did not have the blood drained and you cooked it up and ate it you were not DF and shunned. You were simply considered unclean until the evening and you could change your clothes? (Leviticus 17:15)
Jesus removed this law in (Mark 7:15-19). when he said:
""It's not what goes into your body that defiles you; you are defiled by what comes from your heart."
Do you understand that celebrating your birthday or any holiday in the name of the Lord was acceptable to a Christian according to Romans 14:5-6?
"5 One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind. 6 Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God."
So how does the WTBTS pull this stuff out of their arse and get away with it?

Rundberg another new member .
Welcome to the forum Rundberg.
That goes for me to Rundberg.
It´s terrific that thera are persons that takes time to run forum like this and I take great pleasure reading different subjects.
Things would be even better if I could manage to find a similar forum for the English campaigns in Egypt 1882-89 and if anyone could be able to assist me I would be most gratefull!
Daves comment on my surname is spot on by the way (a Swede behind the alias!?).
Rundberg,your user photo, seems a little odd for a Zulu War forum. what doe's it represent. If you don't mind me asking.
By the way, if I was an impertinent person I would have asked a question or two about your avatar but I´m not so I´ll pass on that.
:lol: I could only find a goat, no luck with the scape.
I have a vague memory from my time in England that Chelmsford is a place with loads of army listening advices, is that right?
Rundberg. Lord Chelmsford was the man who tryed to blame Col Durnford for the lost of the camp at Isandlwana on the 22nd Jan 1879. This argument was known as Durnford the Scape Goat. But there are some who think, Lord Chelmsford was used as the scapegoat.
I have ordered some books about Victorian conflicts from various websites recently. But if I was to buy THE book about the Zulu wars, which would that be?
Any book that stands out?
of the war and the people involved, I listed some books that I think are the best , somewhere on this site last week.
I was thinking down the lines background, people involved ("major league players"), war campaigns and aftermath.
Luckily I havent lost my library :lol!: . Here are some of the books I use often. I certainly reccomend any of the following .
In no particular order of preferance. THE SOUTH AFRICAN CAMPAIGN OF 1879 by MACKINNON and SHADBOLT.
If you search the internet by obtaining the books ISBN , then google the number , you will save a fortune.
if you have any questions , you can send me a pm.
I would go for this one. THE COMPANION TO THE ZULU WAR Like 90th say's it covers just about everything.
Right, "Companion to the Anglo-Zulu War" it is then. Sounds like it´s about Zulu war in lock, stock and barrel-version which is fine by me.
A tips if you are about to extend your library by the way, use BookFinder.com. They cover nearly every bookseller there is and it´s worth it! When I checked the price for this book it varied from ca £ 20 to ca £ 75!!!
A quick note , Companion to the zulu war doesnt give you any details of the battles , it is a book on everything else .
Hard to explain , I hope this makes sense ! .
Thanks 90th, the book is ordered.
And Thomas Pakenhams "Boer War" on sale for £ 5.95 as well.
Your snail mail is like lightning , It can take 12- 14 weeks for books to arrive in Australia from the U.K by surface mail.
Airmail is a lot quicker 5 - 7 days . Much more expensive , especially over 2 kg..
Rundberg: Have a look at these books a free to read on line. Admin has been posting the links in some of the discussions.
All you need to do is click on the page to turm-over.
Thank you Littlehand, the book really looks interesting!
This is a very good on-line book.
The book reminds me of a "real" book I have about Gustav III (a Swedish king from the second half of the 18th century) written in the form of a diary by his governant since H.M:s childhood. He even wrote daily reports of when the King made "big" or "little" "boo"! :lol!: It´s true, I promise!
Surely there has to be a better way!?

Sometimes you just want to keep things simple... So from time to time I offer workshops that simply explore the oils and natural perfumery. This can be an excellent way into thinking about other creative forms - or simply as an informative, enjoyable experience in its own right. We still have lots of fun thinking of titles and descriptions for our blends!
A special outing for summer, this session will take place in the stunning roofless Chapel in the grounds of Falkland Estate (Centre for Stewardship). Learning about natural perfumery and making your own unique blend.
Indoor space available in case of bad weather.

Israel bans prostitution, backs rehabilitation for sex workers
In historical step, Jewish state joins small list of nations to outlaw sex work; penalty will be a fine unless a criminal prosecution is sought.
Shahar Hai|Published: 12.31.18 , 16:26
The Knesset plenum on Monday passed legislation to impose fines on anyone who pays for prostitution. The bill will also be accompanied by a rehabilitation plan for sex workers that will be approved soon by the government. The goal is to combine a significant reduction in users of prostitution with comprehensive rehabiliation treatment for those who have fallen into prostitution. The legislation was proposed by Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked and MK Shuli Mualem of the recently launched New Right party, and MK Aliza Lavie (Yesh Atid).
The law makes it a criminal offence to engage the use of sex workers or be in a location used for prostitution in order to take advantage of sex work. According to the law, anyone found in a location used mainly for prostitution (such as a brothel) will be considered as intending to engage in prostitution.
(Photo: Archive)
The bill was drafted using the recommendations of the Interministerial Committee to Examine Tools for Reducing the Status of Prostitution, headed by the Justice Ministry director-general, which were submitted to Shaked at the beginning of 2018. Israel is the 10th country in the world to ban prostitution.
According to the new law, the criminal offense will primarily be considered an administrative offense carrying a fine of NIS 2,000. A recurring offense within three years will lead to a fine of NIS 4,000. However, in relevant cases the prosecution may file an indictment for a criminal offense, which has a maximum penalty of NIS 75,300.
The justice minister can advocate an alternative to paying the fine, such as attending a workshop in order to raise awareness of the harm caused those trapped in a cycle of rostitution and to educate on the subject in order to prevent a repeat offense.
Lavie, who heads the subcommittee on the fight against prostitution and trafficking in women, said: "This is an extraordinarily driven
period that will lead to dramatic change. An emotional moment, that will help define the State of Israel as a society, as who we are and what our values are. Israel joins a list of countries who have made it clear that prostitution is an unacceptable norm, with disastrous consequences. The law rights a wrong that has been going on for too many years, and will help reduce the demand for prostitution that is the driving force behind this industry, through rehabilitation and reintegration into society of women and girls trapped in prostitution."

ISF » What are direct secondary markets?
What are direct secondary markets?
As the venture market continues to grow and mature, so does its direct secondary markets. While securities are initially created in what is considered the primary market (such as through an IPO), existing securities are traded in the direct secondary markets. More frequently, investors are looking to direct secondary markets as a release valve for liquidity in venture capital—where hold times are lengthening and companies are staying private longer.
Direct secondary markets involve transactions between individual shareholders (like general partners or employees) who sell/buy shares in a venture-backed company instead of selling/buying shares from the company itself.
What's the difference between the primary market and direct secondary markets?
Put simply, the primary market is where securities (e.g., stocks and bonds) are initially created, the secondary market is where existing securities are traded.
Who is involved in the direct secondary market?
One of the main populations to utilize the direct secondary market are the employees of privately held companies who receive equity compensation. GPs and founders also commonly participate in direct secondary markets as they often have equity in portfolio companies.
What are some advantages of the direct secondary markets?
Due to the illiquid nature of private company shares, direct secondary markets serve as a mechanism to provide liquidity for those who own individual private company shares. These transactions give investors the opportunity to realize value and return capital without a full exit.
Secondary transactions can also help mitigate potential volatility when a company is first publicly listed. Shareholders who need liquidity get the opportunity to sell beforehand, which limits an early trading frenzy. Plus, a secondary sale can help gauge investor sentiment—essentially providing a sneak peek at the demand for a company's shares—and determine a more accurate price.
Direct secondaries also allow investors to gain access to high-growth and emerging technology companies that they were not able to access in the primary markets.
What challenges do direct secondary markets pose?
One of the greatest challenges is the general lack of transparency and scarcity of information on opportunities in the direct secondary markets. This opacity can make it difficult to efficiently conduct due diligence. Further, this market poses legal and regulatory obstacles due to the complexity of shareholder agreements and their impact on secondary transactions.
Overall, each individual company's shares have their own unique characteristics and challenges that investors must consider. Similar to purchasing just one stock, there is a lot of unsystematic risk involved in a direct secondary market transaction, depending on company-specific issues. Some investors have concerns regarding the potential for volatility due to limited supply and a generally illiquid market.
For employees who own equity in a company, it can take years until they are able to realize the value of their shares. Lengthening exit times further exacerbate this challenge as it is taking increasingly longer to receive liquidity this way.
How are direct secondary markets different from secondary markets for limited partnership interests?
Direct secondary markets involve directly held equity, while the other involves the transfer of a fund interest or indirect ownership (hence the term "direct" in direct secondary markets).
Are direct secondary markets related to secondary buyouts?
Not really, but the term "secondary" is used in a similar way for both concepts. A secondary buyout (SBO) involves one firm completely selling its ownership of a company to another firm. Secondary in both cases is referring to an additional step after an initial action. In the case of SBOs the initial action is a buyout, in the case of direct secondary markets, the initial action is the creation of securities.
What does the future look like for the direct secondary market?
The size and growth of the overall venture market suggests a bright future for the direct secondary market. One caveat is that uptake in direct secondary transactions may rely on conditions of the current exit environment. In a tepid exit environment, direct secondary transactions become even more meaningful to investors seeking liquidity—encouraging more activity.

Two weeks after my 38th birthday, I retired.
I use the word retire because I haven't found a better one. I left a career that was not a good fit with no intent to replace it with a similar j-o-b. That's not to say I'll never have a job. I'm open to whatever interesting opportunities come my way.
This certainly doesn't mean I sit around crocheting at the senior center or sipping pina coladas at the beach. I stay very busy taking care of our little family, building this community, volunteering, and updating our home. We have learned to live comfortably on one income and enjoy the freedom our choices bring. But rest assured, there's a lot going on behind the scenes.
That's how it goes with big bold goals. First, it's just a dream. Then, when you least expect it, you're an overnight success.
It seems like it happened overnight. In reality, it took more than 10 years, with intense focus the final 3. To be honest, we're still working on it. Our journey to freedom is only halfway through.
That's how it goes with big bold goals. At first, it's just a dream. Then something in you begins to believe that it's possible. You start to take deliberate action. You find the strength to keep at it, even when it seems to be going nowhere. And when you least expect it, you're an overnight success.
I gained perspective on this process during a recent hiking trip.
The hike to the highest point in Minnesota started off easy. We hiked for 45 minutes and came to this beautiful lake.
Here we go. Halfway to the Eagle Mountain Summit, BWCA, Grand Marais, MN.
This wasn't the first time I've heard this phrase. It's just never been easy to practice.
Something was different that day and has been since. For the first time, I was truly able to focus on one step at a time. I felt my anxiety melt away as I shifted my focus from the mountain before me to the step I was taking. Before we knew it, we had reached the summit.
That's the way it goes with big bold goals.
It starts with an idea. – Someday I'd like to hike to the highest point in Minnesota.
Then you see it as an opportunity. – We're camping 30 minutes from the trailhead.
You create a plan. – We'll get up on our first full day, make a big brunch, and head over there.
Then you start. – It's not always easy. We had to get out of our warm tent on a brisk September morning.
You'll encounter obstacles. – We had to climb over trees blocking the trail.
Focus on one step at a time. – It doesn't matter how long it takes. Stay steady and keep moving forward.
Before you know it, your idea has become reality. – Take a moment to celebrate your accomplishment and enjoy the view.
No matter the goal, the process is the same.
We need to stop and focus on the big picture from time to time. This helps us stay motivated by remembering the why behind our big bold dreams.
When have you had to slow down and focus on one step at a time?
What was it like when you achieved your goal?

NewsNationalRussia-Ukraine Conflict
UN: Some besieged Mariupol steel plant evacuees remained to find survivors, family
By: The Associated Press & Scripps National
UNITED NATIONS — The U.N. humanitarian chief in Ukraine says about 30 people who came out of the besieged Avostal steel plant in Mariupol chose not to leave the city, saying they were "horrified" at its total devastation and first wanted to find out if their loved ones were still alive.
Osnat Lubrani told a virtual press conference from the Ukrainian-held city of Zaporizhzhia soon after the arrival on Tuesday of 127 people evacuated from the plant and the town of Manhush on Mariupol's outskirts that she wants to believe the successful operation will be "a stepping stone to more such operations" from Avostal and other towns and cities being shelled and bombarded by the Russians.
She said "there is knowledge that there are civilians still trapped in the Avostal plant," but the U.N. has no numbers.
"Some of them may have been afraid to come out, some of them probably couldn't make it," Lubrani said. "It's a huge area" and some of the elderly people could hardly walk and a broken bus with flat tires was used to help some of them leave.
Speaking of the people who wanted to stay in Mariupol, she said, "These are people that have lived their lives and worked in Mariupol and so it was difficult for them to just leave without knowing what the fate of their loved ones is."
Lubrani said the people still trapped underground in the Avostal plant will hear about the safe evacuation to Zaporizhzhia which is very important, "so if we do another operation, I think hopefully more will come out."

The acquisition deal "remains subject to all necessary regulatory approvals" and the interactive museum will stay open through the year while the forum searches for a new location in the D.C. region, per the release. Newseum, which houses exhibits and hosts events focused on the free press and First Amendment rights, opened in 2008.
The acquisition includes the entire 600,000-square-foot complex that encompasses roughly 470,000 square feet of museum space (which spans seven levels with 15 galleries and 15 theaters), conference spaces, parking, the 135-unit luxury apartment building called Newseum Residences and The Source by Wolfgang Puck restaurant, according to The Washington Business Journal.
Baltimore-based Johns Hopkins plans to consolidate its existing locations in D.C. and create "a world-class academic space that can be optimized for current and future research, education and engagement" at the new property, Johns Hopkins President Ronald Daniels said in a prepared statement. The university owns three D.C. buildings at 1619, 1717 and 1740 Massachusetts Avenue NW, which are collectively assessed at $104.8 million and will be put on the market, per WBJ.
Freedom Forum has contributed more than $600 million to build and fund Newseum, according to the release. The announcement of the property's sale comes more than a year after the museum reviewed its funding priorities, which showed "unsustainable operating costs" for the museum.
"This was a difficult decision, but it was the responsible one," Jan Neuharth, the chair and CEO of Freedom Forum, said in a prepared statement. "We remain committed to continuing our programs—in a financially sustainable way."
In addition to a new home for Newseum, Peter Prichard, the chair of the Newseum board of trustees, said in the release that officials plan to continue the museum's work through digital outreach, traveling exhibits and web-based programs in schools "for decades to come."

Q: Perl modules to use for parallel processing I want to parallelize a program written in Perl.
The code loops over multiple files and calls a subroutine for each file.
I also need to share some read only local data structures with the subroutine.
   sub process_in_parallel {

      my $readOnlySchema = foo();

      foreach my $file ( @files ) {

          validate_the_file($file,$readOnlySchema);
      }

What are the Perl modules that the perl monks can recommend for this scenario. I tried some of the following:

*

*threads
The problem with this is managing the threads. Is there an efficient thread manager or thread pool library that can help me with this? I am also not sure if I can share the read only object.

*Parallel::ForkManager
The problem with this is that it forks processes rather than threads and is increasing the time of execution in my case.
I have the same question posted here : http://perlmonks.com/?node_id=1182517

Let us understand. You cannot reasonably hope to succeed by merely dreaming about success.
You surely cannot achieve success if you plunge blindly through your career.
You cannot really succeed without possessing some degree of personal magnetism.
When you began reading this article, you certainly possessed a measure of magnetic capacity, either physical or psychic. If you have energetically observed its directions, you have developed both varieties; but, above that, you have also combined them into one living whole, the magnetic personality.
This result has required at least a year of persistent effort. If you have arrived at this point in less time, you should go back and begin where haste first retarded your progress.
Magnetism is a natural growth.
No matter how great may be your ability to read and understand books, that growth, that law, require time as well as intelligent effort. No matter how poor may be your ability in such respect, that growth is absolutely certain if you put reasonable time and genuine effort into its acquisition.
The giant trees of California were once puny saplings. The slow lapse of time has drawn nature into their mighty hearts. Magnetism can no more be acquired by the mere reading an article, or by hurried practice of its directions, than can these giants of the West be produced in the hot-house culture of a northern summer.
Magnetic growth is naturally slow. Its principles, its methods, and the results of its study, have to be deeply sunk into and absorbed and assimilated by the subjective self before the reaction of magnetism in the objective life can obtain. If you have read these lines correctly, you have learned that magnetic growth cannot be hurried. These statements are placed here because, had they appeared at the beginning of our work, the outlook would have seemed, perhaps, discouraging, but more especially because they would not have been understood. You now understand them because you have toiled, and you can afford to smile at such possible discouragement. You have paid an easy price for magnetic power, for the gains discount the pains.
The faithful observance of these suggestions has developed many surprises during the time occupied. The growth of magnetism involves intense and continuous concentration of thought upon the psychic field, and it is very likely that you may find it necessary to guard against that danger. The method of so guarding is briefly indicated below.
Success-magnetism is personal magnetism intelligently multiplied into actual life.
The first duty of man is practical sanity.


In October, the city of Glendale and the region generally lost one of its great ambassadors, Larry Zarian. He died on Oct. 13 from blood cancer, a battle he kept from many, and one that came to a close seemingly without warning.
On Monday, the city of Glendale, Glendale Arts and Glendale Adventist Medical Center will host a public celebration of Larry's life. The event, which starts at 6:30 p.m. at the Alex Theatre, is free to the public, but RSVPs are requested. If you're interested in going, call (818) 409-8100 or visit www.GlendaleAdventist.com/Larry.
I'll admit, I had no idea Larry was sick. I had not seen or heard from him in a few months, something that had struck me as quite unusual. Normally, Larry — I tried to call him "Mr. Zarian" exactly once — would call at least once a month to kibbutz about Glendale politics, ask how things at the paper were going, or just to say hi. I suspect he had a master list of phone numbers that he would simply rotate. He was unstoppable.
Larry was one of the first people I met after starting here in 2009. Within a month of my arrival, I was scheduled to appear on his show, "The Larry Zarian Forum," to talk about the paper and the community. He was an incredibly kind, fascinating person, and one whose thirst for knowledge seemed insatiable.
I had meant to call the week prior. But newspapering is an attention-deficit-disorder field, and I just plain got busy and forgot, or forgot because I got busy. I was saddened knowing I would never hear his voice again.
On Oct. 20, on what would have been his 74th birthday, a great gathering of people attended his funeral at St. Mary's Armenian Apostolic Church. The building is vast, but was still filled with the people Larry had touched over the years. Following the service, people lined up to give their respects to the family.
I have to believe Larry's sons — Gregory, Lawrence and Vincent — must have had their hands chapped from shaking so many hands. The line was as long as one for a Disneyland ride, and moved much slower.
As the first Armenian American to serve on the Glendale City Council, Larry broke down walls, making a new city partially in his image. Or, perhaps, he embodied a reality that already existed but had been suppressed. Until Larry, one of the largest communities in the city was underrepresented and underserved in government. Things are better now, more fair, and a good deal of the credit goes to him.
Truly, he was a politician, and as a politician, he was not perfect. I can't speak to those times, since I was not here. But from those who knew him then, I repeatedly heard he brought a professionalism and gentlemanliness to the board, a decorum seen less now.
We need more people like Larry, not only in the Armenian community, but for Glendale and the larger region. One only has to take a peek at the comments on our papers' websites to see that bigotry and hatred are alive and well in our community.
I've called Larry an ambassador, and here's what I mean: He was one that inspired good by doing it himself. By living the way he did, he inspired others.

These Inauguration Protest Posters Will Make You Feel Hope Again
By Shanthi Blanchard
Jan. 20 2017, Published 8:02 a.m. ET
Today is a day, for hope.
That's what the artists behind 'We The People' want you to know.
Shepard Fairey first came to fame for his 2008 stenciled red, white and blue imagery of a Senator from Illinois, a man named Barrack Obama, the soon-to-be President of the United States. Obama's career sky rocketed as he made his way into the oval office with one of the highest approval ratings ever (at 79%), and with the blessing of the American people who upheld him as a 'uniter'.
Eight years later, the iconic image is getting a redo, but is still delivering the same message it did nearly a decade ago.
"We felt the phrase 'We The People' is pretty important. It means everyone," says Shepard Fairey, who goes on to say the posters are supposed to convey the idea of America being a melting pot of inclusion.
Inspiration for the posters came from a hotly contested election, in which now President Donald Trump's verbal attacks and othering of minority groups – including immigrants, women, Hispanics and Muslims – deeply severed the unity between Americans in 2016. Donald Trump goes into the White House with the lowest approval rating since the system of approval ratings began.
"We the people," is pointedly titled after the first three words of the constitution, and depicts images of many of the groups who were attacked by Donald Trump during his election, or who remain at high risk by the Trump administration during the election. This includes profiles of Muslim American, African American, Native American, Latina, and Lesbian women.
Movingly, each poster is inscribed with with a call to action of unity and hope: "We the people are greater than fear," "We the people defend dignity," and "We the people protect each other."
"Art is what shapes movements; it's our catharsis, our call to action," Jessica Sabogal one of the artists involved with the 'We The People' project said. "But in the end, social change must come from people working together to change our economic and political system."

Notably, all peoples featured within this artwork are women. The website announcing the exhibit for the art series (which takes place today in Los Angeles), encourages protestors of the global Women's Marches to carry them during tomorrow's protests.
"We The People" started out as a Kickstarter campaign by The Amplifier Foundation and aimed to initially raise 60,000 dollars, but eventually took in over 1.36 million dollars. That money has been used by the organization to buy advertising in major national news papers, including the Washington Post and the New York times where full page prints will be run today. These prints can be used and carried during the protests this weekend.

Q: how to find string from pool or heap In below code,

*

*if s3 is commented out, then s2==s2.intern() evaluates to true. Why?

*If s3 is uncommented, then s2==s2.intern() evaluates to false. Why?
My understanding is that concat() method always returns a new string instance, i.e. not one from the string pool.
public static void main(String[] args) {

    String s2 = "hitesh".concat("yadav");
    String s3 = "hiteshyadav";

    System.out.println(Integer.toHexString(System.identityHashCode(s2)));
    System.out.println(Integer.toHexString(System.identityHashCode(s2.intern())));
}

A: This is expected behavior. Note these facts:

*

*when intern() actually performs string interning, its return value is identical to its argument;

*when intern() finds an already interned string, it returns that instance instead of the argument.

So, when s3 is commented out, then the String instance referred to by s2 is the one being interned and intern() returns it. When s3 is present, then this pre-existing instance is returned by intern().
To verify the above statements and improve your understanding, add the following line to your code:
System.out.println(Integer.toHexString(System.identityHashCode(s3)));

You'll find out that the second and third line of output are the same.
