History

Mymensingh is one of the sixteen old districts of Bangladesh which was constituted by the British East India Company on 1 May 1787. Being more than 220 years old, Mymensingh has a rich cultural and political history.  In the beginning, Begunbari was chosen as the headquarters of the district. However, the district headquarters was relocated to Mymensingh when Begunbari devastated by a flash flood. Earlier Mymensingh was called Nasirabad, after Nasiruddin Nasrat Shah. During the British Raj most of the inhabitants of the town were Hindus. During the British, this district was ruled by Banik Zamindars who moved to India during Partition.

From the early 20th century Muslims moved into town. Since then this city has played an important role as a centre for secularism. The Vidyamoyee Uccha Balika Bidyalaya and Muminunnesa Women's College have played a great role in educating Bengali Muslim women. A majority of first-generation successful Bangladeshi women have attended these schools and colleges, including the first woman justice of the High Court of Bangladesh, Justice Nazmun Ara Sultana. However, many Hindu families left Bangladesh during the partition of India in 1947. A second spell of Exodus took place following the Indo-Pak war of 1965.  Many people born and raised Mymensingh have left for West Bengal since the 1960s. The exodus continues albeit at a slower pace. On 1 December 1969, Tangail subdivision was separated from Mymensingh and a new District of Tangail was formed. Then in 1977 another new district Jamalpur (including Sherpur) was formed.

The nine-month liberation war of Bangladesh started on 27 March 1971.  Mymensingh remained free from the occupation army until 23 April 1971. Pakistani occupation forces deserted Mymensingh on 10 December, and Mukti Bahini took over on 11 December, just five days ahead of the victory of Dhaka on 16 December.

Geography and climate

The city has no officially defined geographical limits. Since the 1980s the city has expanded with fast urbanisation. Mymensingh city is clearly marked by the old Brahmaputra River flowing along its north. Shambhuganj is situated on the other side of the Brahmaputra, connected by the Shambhuganj Bridge. Other ends of the city are marked respectively by the beginning of the Agricultural University campus, the Medical College, Army cantonment and, finally, Sultanabad, a township built for the followers of Aga Khan. A railway line connecting Dhaka with northern districts, built between 1885 and 1899, passes through the city and divides it into two sides.

The climate of Mymensingh is a little cooler than Dhaka, as it is closer to the Himalayas, and sufficient to be a monsoon-influenced humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cwa) instead of a tropical savanna or tropical monsoon climate as found further south in Bangladesh. The monsoon starts in May or June and continues till August. It rains heavily and sometimes for days and weeks. During the monsoon, the temperature varies between . The temperature falls below  in winter which is spread over December and January and may well include November and February. The highest temperature is felt during April–May period, when it mat rrach as high as . High humidity causes heavy sweating during this period. For western travelers, the best time to visit is between November and February.

Administration

Mymensingh is the headquarter of one of the eight administrative divisions of Bangladesh. Divisional Commissioner, who is the administrative chief of Mymensingh Division, DIG for Mymensingh division and other divisional civil servants have their own offices in the city, which functions as part of the government administrative setup. Deputy Commissioner (DC) who is the administrative chief of Mymensingh District, Civil Surgeon and other district level civil servants have their offices in the city.

One mayor and ward commissioners are elected for five-year terms by direct votes. Mymensingh City Corporation is responsible for all the administrative work related to city governance.

Economy

Historically, Mymensingh district was known for jute production which was termed 'golden fibre' due to revenue it generated as a cash crop.  Due to the high demand for polythene bags and other economic reasons, the jute industry has significantly declined. As Mymensingh is the capital of Mymensingh Division, government employees make up a large percentage of the city's workforce. Mymensingh also has a large unskilled and semi-skilled labour population, who primarily earn their livelihood as hawkers, Rickshaw pullers, taxi drivers, mechanics and other such professions. Agriculture is the most important sector contributing to GDP, followed by the growing service sector in the city. The increasing demand for fish in the local and global markets has generated a new opportunity for local fishermen as well as businessmen to exploit fishing in Mymensingh, and today it is very important to the economy. People have changed their paddy fields to ponds and are cultivating fish. Prawns, sometimes reaching a very large size in the winter, are sold in Mymensingh in great numbers.

The entire area between Durgabari Road, and Maharaja Road comprises the traditional shopping area. There are places like Ganginarpar, Boro Bazaar, Choto Bazaar, Mechua Bazaar within this area. There are spots like Jilapi Patty which is for making and selling jilapi. The main road from Notunbazar to the railway station & C.K. Ghosh Road to Charpara hosts a number of shops for manufactured products and clothing.

Traditional snacks and savouries include seasonal pitha of various kinds, dal-puri, and shingara. Home made desserts include Khyr, Payesh and Shemai. Sweets soaked in syrup of sugar, such as Jilapi, are mostly bought from shops. Pan, a digestive made out of betel nuts, spices, tobacco, and certain other ingredients are eaten by many people, some of which consume it with aromatic Dzorda. For dinner or lunch, a simple formula is to prepare "khichuri", the broth of rice and lentils, seasoned with spices, and served with chutney or pickles. Ghee (butter) may be spread just before eating. The meal may end with sweet curd. Muri (puffed rice), chira (flattened rice) and khoi (popped rice) are substitutes for rice. They are eaten with gur (jaggery) which is a kind of unrefined sugar. They may be mixed with yogurt or milk before eaten. People use only the right hand for eating.

So you've made the decision to move your data centre or servers to a new location. Although you might have thought making the final decision was tricky, the process has only just begun. There are a few different methods you can undertake when moving data centres and servers which I'll aim to guide you through in this weeks post.
For some organisations, budget and resources aren't really an issue. If this is you, you have the opportunity to undertake the easiest method which would be to build a brand-new data centre in the new location that your organisation is moving to and then migrate everything across through virtual tools. In layman's terms, this basically means you're replacing the old data centre rather than moving it.
This method requires quite a large budget but you'll enjoy very minimal downtime and a brand-new computing environment with new servers, storage, and core networking at the new site. You will also save a bunch of time since planning and scheduling considerations are much more flexible. It would be unfair if I didn't acknowledge that building a new data centre is a lot more complicated than I just explained so consider that this method is not for the faint-hearted.
This is the most cost efficient solution but it is also the hardest and longest process. The new data centre held in the new location is only provided with power and cooling whilst you move everything from point A to point B: racks, servers, storage, everything. For small relocations this might sound feasible but for large organisations, institutions and government relocations, it just isn't possible.
This kind of approach calls for a 'mix and match' solution from the above two methods. Here, some part of the new data centre is built before the relocation, like racks and core networking. Once you're ready to do the relocation, the old data centre is shut down and the servers and storage are physically moved to the new location. Finally, you can re-rack, re-cable, and bring them back online.
This solution comes at a much lower cost than the 'replicate and replace' approach but it also involves at least a day of downtime which opens the threat of data and service loss. As well, it's usually a high-pressure process with critical services and applications down for hours at a time. If a problem arises, your downtime will grow as the new problem is sought and dealt with.
Most companies involved in moving data centres and servers will opt for some blend of the last two methods. The first expensive method is essentially guaranteed to succeed and offers plenty of time to get everything just right. But the way to ensure that the other approaches go smoothly is with copious amounts of planning.
No matter your approach, The First Choice Removalz team are well acquainted with IT and server relocations and we're ready to start planning with you today. Get in touch!

Modern Beauty Girl: 2 Year Anniversary!
It is January 15, which means that it's my blog's second anniversary! First and foremost, I just want to say thank you to all of you. I've made some amazing friends through blogging, and I've learned so much about myself through blogging, and none of this would have been possible without you! I was looking at last year's anniversary post, and I'm kind of embarrassed at how short it is, so I though I would write a little bit on all of the accomplishments and events that my blog has gone through this past year, because I'm feeling extra nostalgic.
This year I've been a lot more serious with different social medias and I've expanded a ton. I began to use my twitter more frequently, set up a facebook fan page, started to use Ello, and most importantly, created my YOUTUBE CHANNEL! Youtube has been one of the most rewarding things for me, and I am so proud at what I've been able to accomplish with it. I also recently started an email mailing list, which I'm super excited for!
There are so many milestones that I've reached this year! I hit 100 and 200 followers on bloglovin, which is huge and makes me so happy! I hit 75 youtube subscribers and 650 twitter followers too! Subscribers and followers aren't super important to me, and I would definitely still do this whether there was one reader or 1,000, but knowing that people love the content I produce is an amazing feeling.
I've done so many collaborations this year! Some of my favorite ones have been the Fall Makeup one with Hope from Beauty and Bliss, the one I did for the Covergirl #GirlsCan campaign, and all of my instanatural ones! Get ready for a lot more this year too!
I started the "shop" page of the blog, which I am obsessed with! I also got a DSLR so I can take better pictures and videos (it's a Nikon D3200)! I also bought my domain, which was really exciting because it makes my blog seem more professional!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for making my second year of blogging absolutely incredible. I'm going on year three right now, and I am so excited to see how my blog, and youtube channel grows! I love you guys so much, and I can't explain how much I appreciate your support! Thank's for a great second year of blogging, and here's to an even better third year!
haha I know! it's crazy that I've been doing this so long!
Congratulations on everything you've achieved so far! I've still got to buy a domain, that's huge!
thanks Ivy! when you buy a domain, definitely go through go daddy because it was super easy to set up!

Q: Passing data from one class to another in Java I am trying to pass an output to a text area.
I have Class Search which handles all the searching and display the output using System.out.println().
I have created Class GUI in order to make the console output (System.out.println()) appear in the JTextArea.
I am trying to pass that data into the text area using objects but I dont know why it is not working.
Class Search has this method that calculates the output:
 public static void searchIndex(String searchString) throws IOException, ParseException

Class GUI has the text1
In Class GUI I have tried this:
text1.setText(Search.searchIndex(searchString));

but it is giving me an error searchString cannot be resolved to a variable
Any suggestions ?
Regards.

A: The method is not returning:
public static void searchIndex(String searchString) throws IOException, ParseException {

Need to change void to String and also return the result:
public static String searchIndex(String searchString) throws IOException, ParseException {
    //do search
    return resultString;
}

For the following to work:
text1.setText(Search.searchIndex(searchString));

A:
searchString cannot be resolved to a variable

The above error is caused by the fact that you are trying to use the variable "searchString" without declaring it.
String searchString = "Some string that is in the search index";
text1.setText(Search.searchIndex(searchString));

Indiana Jones, Captain America, and All Your Favorite Hollywood Heroes
By Brianne Hogan Last updated on March 19, 2015 November 4, 2021
New Love?: Rumor has it that Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx are the next "it" couple. Apparently the twosome started things off in the summer of 2013, when he wooed her at a benefit in the Hamptons. Since then, the Dawson's Creek alum and the Oscar winner have been secretly seeing each other. Insiders insist the relationship between Holmes and Foxx isn't just a hook-up: "Jamie is someone she can trust and have fun with," a mutual pal tells US Weekly. Foxx, for his part, is known to refer to Holmes as "my girl." As long as no one starts jumping on a couch anytime soon, we think they could be meant to last.
Special Shout-Out: Singer Demi Lovato celebrated three years being sober and, to mark the special milestone, she let it be known how much she appreciates her boyfriend, Wilmer Valderrama. "I wish I could put into words how grateful I am for this man right here," she wrote on her Instagram alongside a stunning black-and-white photo of the couple. "But my love has grown to a level that words could never possibly express how much this man completes me. He's loved me the way I never thought I deserved to be loved and with this day marking my 3rd year sober … After sharing my ups, putting up with my downs and supporting my recovery … he still never takes credit and I want the world to know how incredible his soul is." Looks like Valderrama gives her a "Heart Attack" — in the best possible way.
Baby Love: Eva Mendes talked candidly about being a first-time mama to baby Esmeralda. "Something random can happen and she's just suddenly not sleeping through the night and you're like, 'wait, I thought we were sleeping through the night, what's up?'" She laughed about her daughter's sleeping habits. "Why does it always happen at three or four in the morning?" As for her secret to keeping her boyfriend and baby daddy, Ryan Gosling, happy? "You can't do sweatpants," she said. "Ladies, number one cause of divorce in America, sweatpants, no!" Although we can't help but think she'd still be stunning in a pair of sweats.
Hot New Couple: Sorry, gals. Looks like Captain American is off the market. Hunky Chris Evans is reportedly dating actress, Lily Collins (who also happens to be the daughter of soft pop sensation, Phil Collins). Something must have been in the air at this year's Vanity Fair Oscars party. According to sources, the big ticket hot spot was where the two had their "meet cute" and things progressed from there. "It's just the beginning stages," an insider said. "But they're having a lot of fun and seeing where it goes."
Wings of Love: Harrison Ford might be a tough guy, but nothing's stronger than the bond he shares with his wife, Calista Flockhart. After the "Indiana Jones" star was taken to the emergency room after a frightening plane crash, Flockhart rushed to his side where she remained throughout his treatment. "Calista spent most of the weekend by Harrison's side," a source tells People Magazine. "She arrived early every morning and returned home late every night. She was under stress." But Flockhart's dedication to her husband comes as no surprise to those who know the couple. "Harrison and Calista are all about family life," an insider says of the couple."Their life before and after they got married is focused on [their son] Liam."

Why some prayers are answered and others are not.
When you grow up as a pastor's kid you learn how to pray out loud pretty quickly.
You start out with the repetitious prayers, like "God is great, God is good," or "Now I lay me down to sleep," but over the years your prayers age with you. As time has passed, and the prayers have changed, one habit has remained consistent for me- closing each prayer by saying "In Jesus name we pray, amen." No one ever told me I had to close my prayers that way, I just learned by listening to others.
By my estimation, there were at least 10,000 people praying for my mom to be healed of cancer. Our family is part of a church network that stretches all over the world, so I'm not exaggerating when I tell you prayers were being prayed in Europe, South America, and Asia. If it was the quantity of prayer that determined outcome my mom would have been healed, but she wasn't. She died at 49.
You begin to doubt prayer when you pray hard and come up empty. I'm not throwing a pity party about God not coming through, and I don't mean "empty" like my life had no meaning. My point is when you believe God will provide a certain outcome and 10,000 people worldwide agree with you, you're left with questions walking away from the graveside, mainly, What kind of prayers does God answer?
As a pastor, I'm asked to pray for people's requests often. Honestly, more prayers don't get answered than do, at least so far. There are some prayers I don't expect God to answer while I'm praying them, like the time a woman stopped by the church and asked me to pray for her to win the lottery. The whole time I prayed with her, I was hoping no one around me could hear me. But I pray for genuine, earnest, prayer requests on a regular basis. Whether it's healing for friends and family, jobs for families about to lose their home or salvation for spouses and kids, at least for now, we're left wanting more than celebrating.
That's what makes what Jesus said so confounding. He said, "You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it!" It can't be that simple. If so, God would have answered my prayer to be 6'4, and I would be in the NBA. Obviously, I can't have anything I want, so what can I have?
When my daughter was 5 years old she asked for golf clubs for her birthday, probably not the most common request for a 5-year-old, but it made perfect sense to me. I love golf. It's not just a hobby it's an addiction passed down several generations in my family. I hope at least a few of my kids will love it as much as I do, so when I heard Sadie say she wanted new clubs, I almost cried and shouted at the same time. Honestly, I was more excited than she was.
I think God is like that. There are things God wants for me more than I want them for myself. I think that's what Jesus meant when He said "ask in his name." It's more than attaching "in Jesus name" to the end of my prayer, it's praying for things God would attach his name to.
There are also things my daughter could ask for, and the answer would be an automatic no. At seven years old, requests for ponies and makeup are not happening. That's probably how God the time I prayed to marry my middle school girlfriend. Evidently, those things were not what he wanted for my life. I'm glad doesn't answer every prayer I pray.
But what if Sadie asked for something I wanted for her, it's just not the right time? What if she asked for a new car for her 7th birthday? The answer is "no" for now. We will get her a car, but not for another nine years.
It seems like God answers a lot of my prayers with "not yet" but it feels like a "no." He knows if He said "yes" now I would wreck it because I'm not ready.

Movie Review 'Gaalipatam' : Innovative marital drama
DC | SURESH KAVIRAYANI
Published Aug 9, 2014, 8:45 am IST
Updated Mar 31, 2019, 1:31 pm IST
Review of Gaalipatam
A promotional still of Gaalipatam
Director: Naveen Gandhi
Cast: Aadi, Erica Fernandes, Kristina Akeeva, Rahul Ravindran and Gayatri Bhargavi
Director Sampath Nandi turns producer with Gaalipatam. Kristina Akheeva and Erica Fernandes are making their debut as the female leads opposite Aadi in this film, while Naveen Gandhi is making his debut as director.
The story is about a working couple, Karthik (Aadi) and Swathi (Erica Fernandes). They get the best couple award in their office and the two plan a special party. But in reality, both are unhappy and their differences come out in the open at the party. Karthik reveals that he had a lover Parinithi (Kristina Akheeva) before marriage, and Swathi also reveals the presence of Arav (Rahul Ravindran) in her life.
Karthik had differences with his girlfriend regarding the institution of marriage, which had resulted in him marrying Swathi. On the other hand, Swathi only wanted to get married to a person chosen by her elders, hence she rejected Arav (Rahul Ravindran) and married Karthik. They are both unhappy and decide to part ways.
But the couple is under pressure from their respective families not to separate. Do they stick to their mutual decision to separate or stay together for the sake of society? This forms the crux of the story.
Kudos to Sampath Nandi for coming up with an innovative subject which reflects the mindset of today's youngsters. This is not the regular masala formula of action-song-action kind, as some of the scenes are close to the reality. He has also written the screenplay and dialogues for this film. After the light-heartedness of the first half, the film becomes more emotional in the second half and remains till the climax. Naveen Gandhi has done good work as a debutant director. Dialogues by Sampath Nandi are good, especially the dialogues between Gayatri Bhargavi and Bharath Reddy. Comedian Saptagiri appears in couple of scenes and provides a few laughs. Posani Krishna Murali and others have essayed their characters well.
Till now, Aadi had done regular pot-boilers, but this film displays his acting prowess. His subtle and mature performance is one of the film's highlights. He has two shades to his character as a happy-go-lucky boy and a serious guy. Both Kristina Akheeva and Erica Fernandes have done well. Erica shows maturity in her acting. Kristina suits her character well. Rahul Ravindran has done a good job. Another surprise element is Gayatri Bhargavi, who plays an understanding housewife with two kids. She excels in a particular scene where she talks to Bharath Reddy.
The cinematography by Bujji is good and has captured beautiful locations. The music is good and highlighted by the song picturisation.
There are a few boring scenes like the drunken scene of the old ladies. This particular scene is embarrassing and the forced comedy is in bad taste.
Other than these minor flaws, all in all it is a watchable film.

Since The Beginnings Of Ecology
Last Updated on Sat, 01 Dec 2012 | Ecosystem Theory
Ecosystems have directionality! This is an extraordinary statement, although the reader might at first wonder why. After all, one observes directional behavior everywhere: A billiard ball, when struck by another ball, will take off in a prescribed direction. Sunflowers turn their heads to face the sun. Copepods migrate up and down in the water column on a daily basis. Yet, despite these obvious examples, scientists have increasingly been trained to regard instances of directionality in nature as having no real basis—epiphenomenal illusions that distract one from an underlying static, isotropic reality.
Before embarking on how ecological direction differs from directionality observed elsewhere, it is worthwhile describing the ecological notion of succession (Odum, 1959). The classical example in American ecology pertains to successive vegetational communities (Cowles, 1899) and their associated heterotrophs (Shelford, 1913)— research conducted on the shores of Lake Michigan. Both Cowles and Shelford had built on the work of the Danish botanist, Eugenius Warming (1909). Prevailing winds blowing against a shore will deposit sand in wave-like fashion. The most recent dunes have emerged closest to the lake itself, while progressively older and higher dunes occur as one proceeds inland. The assumption here, much like the famed ergodic assumption in thermodynamics, is that this spatial series of biotic communities represents as well the temporal evolution of a single ecosystem. The younger, presumably less-mature community consisted of beach grasses and Cottonwood. This "sere" was followed by a Jack pine forest, a xeric Black oak forest, an Oak and hickory moist forest, and the entire progression was thought to "climax" as a Beech-maple forest. The invertebrate and vertebrate communities were observed to segregate more or less among the vegetational

zones, although there was more overlap among the mobile heterotrophs than among the sessile vegetation.
Other examples of succession involve new islands that emerge from the sea, usually as the result of volcanic activity. One particular ecosystem that was followed in detail is the sudden emergence in 1963 of the approximately 2.8 km2 island, Surtsey, some 33 km south of the large island of Iceland in the North Atlantic. Figure 4.1 depicts the rise in the number of plant species found on the island. (Other measures of succession on Surtsey will be given below).

Getting Started with Equity Work
Photo by Noorulabdeen Ahmad on Unsplash
Equity. People may approach this term from different lenses: race, gender, class, ability, language. Educational equity encompasses all of these aspects. I think it's important to be specific in our language when we discuss equity - what kind of equity are we talking about? It doesn't have to be the same each time, but when we're examining a particular equity issue, don't be vague. Call it out!
Looking at the data alone, it's evident educational equity includes several intersecting elements of student identity such as: race, ability, language, class, and gender. National graduation rates indicate we are under-serving and often actively marginalizing Black and Brown students, students with IEPs, students new to the English language, and low-income students (National Center for Educational Statistics). In the US, Black girls are disproportionately targeted for disciplinary action even for adherence to sexist and racist school dress codes ("Black girls in US pushed out of school over racist and sexist school dress codes, report finds"). The vast majority of transgender students (75.1%) feel unsafe at school because of their gender expression, and 63.4% of transgender students avoid bathrooms (Gender Spectrum).
If you're thinking, "This is great, but I just don't have time for this!" First, I hear you—time is scarce! Second, I would argue at least recognizing the educational inequity that exists and starting to consider how your school may be unknowingly reproducing inequity is critical to our work of educating all children and helping them be responsible, equitable leaders in school and throughout their lives.
So, where do we start? I'm going to share 2 things you can do that are foundational to equity work. I'll share more later, but these 2 are BIG, so it's more than enough work to get started!
Recognize educational inequity exists. Whether this is a new idea or you've been fighting for educational equity for years, it's good to be able to identify why this work is necessary. When we push for equity, we will often come up against push back. Sometimes, the people pushing back simply don't see the problem. Gather your facts in advance and prepare to share that information with others in need.
Do the self-work. I am in no way the authority on educational equity, but I actively seek out new knowledge about inequity in education and in other realms of society. I cannot fully understand the experiences of people of color or folks marginalized because of their social class or status as a trans* person. I can, however, read and listen to the wisdom of people who have had different experiences from my own and are willing to share. (I've started collecting some resources on Pinterest.) I can interrogate my own privilege and critically examine the systems of oppression that maintain patriarchal white supremacy in our educational and legal systems, even when—no—especially when it feels uncomfortable.
Again, this is tough work. So, here's a few quick tips from my own journey...
Be open to growth. Equity work requires a different mindset than the one our society has conditioned us to hold regarding conversations about identity. Racial equity typically proves to be a difficult topic, particularly for white folks to talk about. Robin DiAngelo wrote a book all about it! This work of interrogating privilege and critically examining systems we have spent our lives accepting as "normal," is hard work. There's no way around the discomfort. You have to go through it. Jay Smooth's analogy, however, helped me make the mindset shift that helped me bit a little more comfortable in conversations about race. In his TED Talk, he proposes a powerful metaphor to help shift our mindsets from defending our character (i.e., "I'm not racist!") to an appreciation of feedback for growth. He suggests instead of looking at anti-racism work as a tonsil removal (i.e., one procedure and you're not racist), think of it like going to the dentist (i.e., ongoing check-ins are considered normal, healthy, and helpful). Being brought up in a culture steeped in oppressive systems, it is no wonder we misstep, but the important piece of these mistakes, isn't the mistake itself, it's our willingness to listen to feedback and choose to be better.
Check your privilege, literally. Looking for a place to jump right into this work that's high-impact? These privilege checklists were eye-opening for me. Check them out!
"White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack" - Peggy McIntosh
"Straight Privilege" - Erin Tatum, Everyday Feminism
"11 Cisgender Privileges You Didn't Know You Had" - PRIDE
"Able-Bodied Privilege Checklist" - ASU Project Humanities
This work, although difficult, is one of the most powerful investments you can make in your practice as an educator. Recognize the extent and forms of educational inequity, and talk to others about it. Commit to doing the self-work. Later this week, I'll share some concrete ideas for improving equitable practice in your schools. We can re-make the systems that were designed to reproduce inequity!

Make sure that 'i3/ipc.h' is included. If it fails please check
config.log.

## Install from a release

Check dependencies and configure build system:

```
./configure
```

Build Rofi:

```
make
```

The actual install, execute as root (if needed):

```
make install
```

## Install a checkout from git

Generate build system:

```
autoreconf -i
```

Create a build directory:

```
mkdir build
```

Enter build directory:

```
cd build
```

Check dependencies and configure build system:

```
../configure
```

Build rofi:

```
make
```

The actual install, execute as root (if needed):

```
make install
```

## Options for configure

When you run the configure step there are several you can configure. (To see the full list type
`./configure --help` ).

The most useful one to set the installation prefix:

```
./configure --prefix=<installation path>
```

f.e.

```
./configure --prefix=/usr/
```

### Install locally

or to install locally:

```
./configure --prefix=${HOME}/.local/
```

###  I3 workaround

 If i3 is installed in a non-standard prefix, point it to the right location using:

```
CFLAGS="-I/weird/i3/path/include/" ../configure
CFLAGS="-I/weird/i3/path/include/" make
```

## Options for make

When you run make you can tweak the build process a little.

### Verbose output

Show the commands called:

```
make V=1
```

### Debug build

Compile with debug symbols and no optimization

```
make CFLAGS="-O0 -g3" clean rofi
```

### Get a backtrace

Getting a backtrace using GDB is not very handy. Because if rofi get stuck, it grabs keyboard and
mouse. So if it crashes in GDB you are stuck.
The best way to go is to enable core file. (ulimit -c unlimited in bash) then make rofi crash. You
can then load the core in GDB.

```
gdb rofi core
```

## Install distribution

### Debian or Ubuntu

```
apt-get install rofi

```

### Fedora

Been to Armacao de Pera?
We were there for 11 days from the 18th to the 29th of December and we were able to go onto the beach every day.
There was one day of light rain but only in the morning.
The temperature went from 65 degrees Fahrenheit to 75, which was just perfect for the kids who were 10 years old and 2 years old.
Beach is superb - golden sands and rock pools ripe for exploration.
The cafes and restaurants were superb and very welcoming to families.
Very chilled, very peaceful and a wonderful way to spend the christmas holidays.
Armacao de Pera is a fantastic family holiday village which I highly recommend.
We rented a beautiful 2 bedroom luxury apartment directly from the owners which was perfect for us.
Armacao de Pera weather was great, we had some thunder, we had some rain and it was very hot. I love the weather as it was normal, just right for a perfect holiday.
It was very peaceful. No night life, just silent empty streets and street lights glowing. The beach was always close no matter day or night its still amazing to go to the beach. At night the stars and the moon reflected in the ocean and it just looks amazing.
Weather was warm and sunny, with occasional breeze to keep you cool.
Went with my husband and got exactly what we were looking for - a peaceful and relaxing holiday.
Lots of nice, friendly people, beautiful beaches, fabulous scenery and nice walks along the cliffs and beach.

Your Support Needed for Our Summer Fundraising Goal of $30,000
Hoots and Hollers
I alone cannot change the world,
but I can cast a stone across the water to create many ripples ~ Mother Teresa
The summer of 2019 is OVEC's 32nd summer of existence—we've been working with people like you for more than three decades to defend our communities and the environment we all depend on—the land, water, soil, and air that make up our beautiful life support system.
In a political climate like that of West Virginia, this is difficult work. What sustains us? The answer, as the quote above suggests, is the ripple effect of our work, and the wonderful, caring people such as you who make it happen.
Like the story of the young boy throwing starfish into the sea, we haven't saved every mountain, or protected every stream, or stopped every polluting business from being built. However, every victory we have achieved together has made a difference, generating an amazing ripple effect.
Our work to stop or limit mountaintop removal permits has saved flora, fauna, and communities. More recently, our collaborative work to preserve historic Blair Mountain opens the door of opportunity for increased tourism in our state and the promotion of a sense of pride of our history.
Over the years, our assorted campaigns—such as stopping the pulp mill, limiting the discharge of pollution into streams, obtaining a moratorium on underground coal slurry injection, stopping out-of- state garbage from being shipped to our region, and obtaining municipal water for communities with contaminated drinking water—have no doubt resulted in cleaner water, cleaner air, and healthier communities. Our health, heritage, and homeplace are all in better shape because of the work you help support.
Every day, people such as you are metaphorically throwing the stones that make our successes possible and creating the ripple effect of positive change. OVEC volunteers monitor streams, edit our publications, write letters to the editor, table at events, speak at hearings, help with fundraising, attend rallies, conduct educational outreach, and participate in a host of other activities. You support OVEC financially through your memberships and generous donations, and you provide words of encouragement and optimism. For all of this, we are deeply grateful.
As we look to the coming year, we want to be open about a concern that we have. Over the past couple of years, and through no fault of our own, we have lost a substantial amount of funding from philanthropic foundations. Some of our long-term funders have changed the focus of their giving. Others have spent down all their funds or reduced the amounts of their grants, and we have "timed out" for other foundations. We continue to seek new sources of funding. We have no doubt that we will be able to continue our good work, but we really need your help. Simply put, it is more important than ever that we receive support through membership renewals, new memberships, and donations.
If you have recently sent a donation, we can't thank you enough. If you have not donated lately, or are able to send an additional gift, we ask that you do so now. Our goal is to raise $30,000 by the end of August to support our program work, and to pay for some needed technology and equipment. Some of our equipment needs include blinds for some of the office windows, display cases for tabling, and a portable solar generator we can use to power our sound system at protests and other events.
Here's how much we've raised as of August 30:
With the current push for the development of pipelines and a massive petrochemical complex associated with the Appalachian Storage Hub, we really feel like we are at a crossroads; either we remain an energy sacrifice zone and become the new "plastics belt" for the nation, or we demand a new reality based on a clean, healthy environment, and the development of a sustainable economy powered by renewable energy.
Please help us choose the cleaner, greener path: donate online at ohvec.org/donate. Donations to OVEC are tax deductible. With your help, we will continue "making waves" for polluting industries, and creating the ripples of change that can transform our region and improve the world.

Q: Cannot declare instance members in a static class in C# I have a public static class and I am trying to access appSettings from my app.config file in C# and I get the error described in the title.
public static class employee
{
    NameValueCollection appSetting = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings;
}

How do I get this to work?

A: It says what it means:
make your class non-static:
public class employee
{
  NameValueCollection appSetting = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings;
}

or the member static:
public static class employee
{
  static NameValueCollection appSetting = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings;
}

A: It is not legal to declare an instance member in a static class.  Static class's cannot be instantiated hence it makes no sense to have an instance members (they'd never be accessible).

A: I know this post is old but...
I was able to do this, my problem was that I forgot to make my property static.
public static class MyStaticClass
{
    private static NonStaticObject _myObject = new NonStaticObject();

    //property
    public static NonStaticObject MyObject
    {
        get { return _myObject; }
        set { _myObject = value; }
    }
}

A: If the class is declared static, all of the members must be static too.
static NameValueCollection appSetting = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings;

Are you sure you want your employee class to be static? You almost certainly don't want that behaviour. You'd probably be better off removing the static constraint from the class and the members.

A: Have you tried using the 'static' storage class similar to?:
public static class employee
{
    static NameValueCollection appSetting = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings;
}

A: As John Weldon said all members must be static in a static class.  Try
public static class employee
{
     static NameValueCollection appSetting = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings;

}

A: public static class Employee
{
    public static string SomeSetting
    {
        get
        {
            return ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SomeSetting"];
        }
    }
}

Declare the property as static, as well. Also, Don't bother storing a private reference to ConfigurationManager.AppSettings. ConfigurationManager is already a static class.
If you feel that you must store a reference to appsettings, try
public static class Employee
{
    private static NameValueCollection _appSettings=ConfigurationManager.AppSettings;

    public static NameValueCollection AppSettings { get { return _appSettings; } }

}

It's good form to always give an explicit access specifier (private, public, etc) even though the default is private.

Employment Laws in a GIG Economy
Comments Off on Employment Laws in a GIG Economy
What Is the Gig Economy?
The term 'gig economy' is not unfamiliar to us anymore. Factors like the internet, digitalization, and advancement in information technology have changed the overall functioning of the market dynamics across the world.
The gig economy, also known as "on-demand", "open talent" or "sharing economy", is currently one of the most contentious trends in employment law. Its caretakers state that it provides vast innovation and empowers both workers and entrepreneurs, while critics argue that it marginalizes the workforce and undermines worker's rights.
The gig economy can help workers, businesses, and consumers by making work more flexible to the needs of the moment and demand for elastic lifestyles.
At the same time, the gig economy can have shortcomings due to the corrosion of traditional economic relationships between workers, businesses, and clients.
In a gig economy, large numbers of people work part-time or momentary positions. The result of a gig economy is inexpensive, more proficient services, such as Uber or Airbnb, for those willing to use them.
There is an extensive range of positions that fall into the category of a gig. For example, assistant and part-time professors have contracted employees as opposed to tenured or tenure-track professors. Colleges and universities can cut costs and match professors to their academic needs by hiring more adjunct and part-time professors.
The gig economy is a move away from traditional "nine-to-five" jobs and towards technology-enabled "gigging" for multiple work providers, constitutes a modern challenge for employment law.
Criticisms of the Gig Economy
Despite its welfares, there are some weaknesses to the gig economy. While not all employers lean toward hiring contracted employees, the gig economy trend can make it harder for full-time employees to develop fully in their careers since temporary employees are often low-cost to hire and more elastic in their availability.
For some workers, the elasticity of working gigs can actually interrupt work-life balance, sleep patterns, and activities of daily life. In effect, workers in a gig economy are more like businesspersons than traditional workers. While this may mean better freedom of choice for the individual worker. It also means that workers are taking upon themselves a much greater share of the market threat of economic ups and downs, changing trends, and fickle consumer preferences.
The Indian employment laws mandate a person to fall under the definition of 'employee' in order to avail the underlying benefits. In this scenario, a gig worker (who is rather a freelancer working on short-term contracts) is often devoid of such benefits on account of no subsequent employer-employee relationship.
While the Employment Exchanges (Compulsory Notification of Vacancies) Act 1959 mandates a person to be employed in any establishment for remuneration to qualify as an employee, the Minimum Wages Act 1948 (MWA 1948) requires him to be employed for hire or reward in a scheduled employment in respect of which minimum rates of wages have been fixed.
Health and Safety Laws
One of the major employment law distress in relation to the gig economy is that there are no definite health and safety laws that govern gig workers. In most cases, gig workers do not perform their duty from a fixed office space or are required to travel from place-to-place to meet the needs of consumers. This model provides a number of issues that employers would have to consider, specifically:
Protection from Sexual Harassment:
The Sexual Harassment at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition, and Redressal) Act, 2013 ("SH Act") is the law that forbids sexual harassment of women at the workplace and requires that employers inform their employees to issues of sexual harassment and redress complaints in a private and time-bound manner.
Working in the Nightshift:
The laws related to shops, commercial establishments, and factories mandate certain conditions to be followed in relation to women working at night, to ensure their safety and security. However, given that gig workers are not 'employed' to work out of shops, commercial establishments or factories, the requirements of the platform in this respect are largely loose.
Contract Labour Laws:
Engaging contract labour i.e., engaging workers through a third-party contractor to do specific tasks in connection with the work of an establishment, is regulated by the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970 ("CLRA Act"). There exists probable scope for gig platforms to be interpreted as contractors under the CLRA and this could accordingly activate responsibilities to obtain a license and comply with requirements under the Act.
Compensation in case of accidents:
The law on compensation for injuries caused during the course of employment is chiefly governed by the Employees Compensation Act, 1923 (ECA). The ECA commands that an employer pays compensation for injuries caused due to accidents arising out of and in the course of employment, including cases where employees are required to travel on behalf of the employer. The applicability of this statute in relation to gig workers is yet to be tested in courts; however, given the intent of this statute, there is a possibility that courts may hold that gig workers be entitled to compensation for injuries incurred while providing services to consumers through the gig platform.
High Courts with the Intervention
It is surprising how the High Courts across the country have walked in to resort to natural justice with the Supreme Court still unable to recognize it.
In JS Walia's case1, a ruling of the Delhi High Court, a contractor had availed the services of a welder from time to time. It was opposed that there existed no employer-employee relationship. Moreover, since the welder did not work continuously for a period of 240 days, there was a justification to dismiss his services as well. But the holding of the Court stated that one should be aware of the fact that in most cases workmen do not have sufficient documentary evidence to show their employment and the same has to be separated from the circumstances, oral evidence and other material that may be placed on record.
But the issue still appears outside
The Supreme Court, as observed in SarvaShramikSangh's case2, has been strict on its view that the sine qua non for application of the idea of unfair labour practice is the presence of a direct relationship of employer and employee.
Notwithstanding the above, it would be incorrect to state that efforts were never made by the Supreme Court. In Hussainbhai's case3 it was held that the true test to regulate the employer-employee relationship is that of 'economic control' and thus where a worker or group of workers labours to produce goods or services and these goods or services are for the business of another, that other is, in fact, the employer. He has financial control over the workers' subsistence, skill, and sustained employment.
Thus with the enclosure of several factors as a necessary prerequisite, it is hard to state that the Supreme Court is taking steps to identify the short-term contract workers as employees.
It is indeed a harsh reality that there is in an absence of related legislation which clearly lays down the law for the rapidly emerging gig economy, but the hesitancy on the part of the judiciary has undoubtedly made it frustrating for justice to be rendered by following the prevailing laws.
At the same time, it cannot be held totality that the present laws do not offer the inclusion of gig workers within the domain of employee. The definition provided under the MWA 1948 states that employee also includes one declared to be an employee by the appropriate Government. Thus, a mere notification declaring gig workers to be categorized as an employee would be sufficient.

Yale offers admission to 1,975 applicants
Andrew Giambrone 12:48 pm, Mar 29, 2012
Yale accepted 1,975 applicants to the class of 2016, bringing the admissions rate down to 6.8 percent, Dean of Undergraduate Admissions Jeffrey Brenzel told the News Thursday afternoon.
The University offered 1,001 applicants a spot on the waitlist, Brenzel said, up slightly from the 996 students offered a spot on the waitlist for the class of 2016. Last year's admission rate was 7.35 percent — 2,006 of 27,283 applicants — before any waitlisted students were admitted. A total of 2,109 students eventually received offers of admission, yielding a class of 1,351, plus 36 students who deferred for a year.
Between early and regular admissions, the College received a record 28,975 applications this year, up 5.8 percent from 2011. The University offered 1,001 applicants to the class of 2016 a place on the waitlist.


The U.S. Congressman's Visit at the Azerbaijan Center.
On August 6th, 2013, one of the senior members of the U.S. House of Representatives Ruben Hinojosa, representing the 15th District of Texas, visited the Azerbaijani Center in Houston (Texas), the fourth largest city in the United States.
The Congressman Hinojosa communicated the importance of the partnership between the U.S. and Azerbaijan.
The Congressman Hinojosa has expressed a desire to visit Azerbaijan Center in Washington in June 2013, at a meeting with the Azerbaijani parliamentary delegation headed by Samad Seyidov, during a conversation with the head of the Azerbaijan Center and the Sister Cities Association Houston-Baku (HBSCA) Irada Akhoundova to discuss prospects of cooperation, investment and exchange of experience in industries such as medicine, education, petrochemicals.
The Congressman discussed his desire to expand investment in human capital in Azerbaijan, and joint economic and educational opportunities between Azerbaijan and Texas, especially within his Congressional District. The Congressman Hinojosa suggested an exchange of agriculture, manufacturing and business experts between Azerbaijan and his Congressional District to share their knowledge and skills.
The Congressman also mentioned the South Texas's involvement in instilling a desire for technical, scientific, economic, and medical disciplines for students from elementary school and up. In particular, he talked about the large traditional education fair, which is held every year in Texas, where companies, universities, research centers, and etc., provide all the information for children of all ages. The congressman said that such an event might be interesting for Azerbaijan and expressed a desire to see our representatives there.
The Congressman also took a great interest in history and culture of Azerbaijan. The founder of the "Bakililar" community, Elkhan Agamirzaev, who also attended a meeting with a congressman talked about rich traditions, ancient history, and unique culture of Azerbaijani people.
At the end of the meeting, Irada Akhoundova presented books and materials with information on Azerbaijan and introduced the congressman with a real Azerbaijani tea, while explaining a secret to its proper brewing and other nuances of Azerbaijani tea party.

Just Another Day in Paradise: My "Must-Haves"
I'm becoming more and more passionate about organic and "natural" products.
Since all I have to do these days, for the most part :) , is wait for our baby-to-be, I've been researching a LOT- and I've found some products that I really, really like.
Plus, I can buy them at Target, so they're easily accessible.
Attaches to the water supply for your toilet and makes a no-mess job of getting dirtier diapers ready to pop in the wash. One of the things that made me think "no way!" to cloth diapering at first was having to get the yuckier "stuff" off the diapers prior to putting them in the wash. This solves the problem! We'll be buying one the minute we get word on our baby.
but in either case you need a pail to put the diapers in. I'm thinking of getting this one, or something like it.
Plus, there are so many cute pail liners and "wet bags" to choose from!
Louisa has some nice plain colored pail liners and cute, cute wet bags here.
(either of you) to sweat to death!
I'm a fan of Bumkins too. They have the absolute BEST bibs. Seriously. You can wipe them off, or throw them in the washing machine, and they come out soft and the colors don't fade. I've even accidentally put them through the dryer and they still look great after 4 years. And the Moby wrap is nice too. I don't have one but my friend used one and I got to borrow sometimes. Loved it! I've never used the cloth diaper all in ones, but I"d like to try. Looks like you've got some great picks!


Meet singer/song-writer Amanda Fallon. Her recently released single "Paradise" came as a shock for those who weren't aware of her astonishing voice. Her song has received a great amount of support from listeners since its release. Too Much Info held an exclusive interview with Amanda Fallon to learn more about her, her influences and what we can expect from her in the future.
Q: What inspired you to become a singer?
A: Singing is something I wanted to do forever. When I was younger I used to walk around the house singing and my mom would be like, " shut up." (Laughs) but I don't know I used to be shy and nervous. In high school that's when I performed for the first time. Then, when I got to college I kind of fell off. So, I guess what inspired me is me knowing my potential and not wanting to settle. What inspired me was just the love of it, I genuinely love music.
A: Bob Marley, I love him he's really my favorite. Lauryn Hill, I love her and I feel like a lot of people say my music not reminds them of her but the way I sing and stuff like that. Michael Jackson, my mom used to love him, so I feel like it's only right. Toni Braxton too, she's one of my favorites. I have a lot.
Q: What about Lauryn Hill and Toni Braxton influenced you?
A: One, their voices I think both artist are so unique. They're powerhouse singers and the way they sing and how it makes you feel that's what I love about them. Especially Lauryn Hill she goes from being conscious and trying to make you be aware of stuff to love songs and things that you can relate to in everyday life. Same with Toni, she's beautiful...I really love them.
Q: What was your inspiration for Paradise?
Q: Will there be a video for Paradise?
A: We are coming up with the treatment for the video.
Q: How has the turnout been since you released Paradise/was it what you expected?
A: I've gotten really good feedback and really good support on it. With it being my first time putting out music by myself I feel like people were really supportive. I feel like I gotta keep pushing it though because my social media...I don't be on it as much so I have to start being on it more.
Q: What genre would you categorize your music with?
A: I guess kind of a fusion between R&B and Soul. I wouldn't say Neo Soul but I wouldn't say "R&B, R&B". It's like a mixture of it. I'm Jamaican so my influences were dancehall and reggae from the rip. From me having friends around the block and going to school I started listening listening to other music. My older cousins were here for a couple of years and they started listening to American music, so that's kind of how I just got a fusion of both.
Q: What could you contribute to the music industry?
A: I feel like I can bring my roots, since they're Jamaican, I feel like I can bring that into my music with reggae and dancehall. Especially with dancehall and the energy around that right now with Rihanna doing it and Justin Bieber. I feel like this would be a good time because dancehall influences American music so much. That's another reason why music inspires me so much because it's in my blood.
Q: What prompted you to leave Philly and move to LA?
A: You know how you just have this feeling...like one of my best friends Brittany, she was here already. I was supposed to move with her in January but I had just graduated that December and I was trying to get everything together. I was like nah I'm not ready for it. Then I was working and I told myself, "six months from the day I graduate I'm going to move," but I didn't know where. I was thinking Atlanta, I was thinking California but I was like I'm going to just pray on it and whatever happens happens. So, Brittany hit me up and she was like, "there's an extra room where I'm living at." At the time I was working at Strayer University so I was working from home, so I could go anywhere so why not? I told myself I wanted to move so that was like the perfect opportunity. So I searched online for a plane ticket and one of the ticket prices was $253 and I'm real weird with numbers. I graduated from Girl's High and my class number was 2-5-3, so I'm like if this ain't destiny! I graduated with my Masters on December 14th and then I left for LA on June 15th, so that was exactly six months laters.
Q: Do you feel like it's easier to pursue music in LA?
A: Philly has so much talent and here literally everybody I meet does something creative. Everybody is out here pursuing something so I feel like it's competitive but what makes it easier is that there's so many creative people to work with.
Q: What's been the scariest moment for you so far?
A: It's been a lot of moments. Being out here without family, and you just got you and your friend and you're meeting other people I was kind of nervous about that. Like I don't know these people and I can't trust them like that so you have to just trust your gut out here. I feel like that was scary because I'm in a whole new land. It was the biggest culture shock when I got here. Everything was just different. So that was scary and just me now I'm getting better with going with my gut and trusting what I'm supposed to be doing. Doing music alone is scary. You don't know if people are going to like it or not like it, you don't know what the outcome is going to be.
A: I expect to be making really good music and inspiring people, that's what I want to do most. My purpose is to bring awareness and inspire people but at the same time I want to do a lot with the community. Other than music I want to invest in businesses.
Q: What can everyone expect from you this year?
A: I'm putting out a lot more music, some videos, some acting. I'm just trying to do a lot more with music and let people know who I am as an artist. Also, community service..but I just like to create rather it's music, dancing, painting...I just like to create.

How Millennials Are Forcing Attitudes About Tattoos in the Workplace to Evolve
Tattoos in the workplace used to be all but forbidden. Typically, only the most relaxed employers allowed them on employees — especially for jobs facing the public. Otherwise, body ink had to be completely covered up. If it did show at some point, even by accident, some companies were so uptight that they would fire the person. Many professionals avoided getting tattoos because of this policy.
In recent years, this attitude has changed. Much of this paradigm shift is due to the higher tolerance of body ink in general, but a lot of it has to do with the acceptance of tattoos among millennials who are now entering the workforce. In fact, it may be difficult to find a qualified candidate who doesn't have some sort of body ink. This is opening up opportunities for working professionals with tattoos, evolving the strict standards that used to define "professionals".
Tattoos in the Workplace Statistics
Over 70 percent of people still believe that having tattoos hurts your chances of employment, but this is apparently no longer an accurate belief when it comes to most companies. That's because 76 percent of people say that they would hire opens in a new windowpeople who have tattoos, reports STAPAW (Support Tattoos and Piercings at Work), a group that fights discrimination based on tattoos and piercings.
Legally speaking, most areas of the USA do not have a tattoos in the workplace law. While designs are protected by the First Amendment as forms of speech, employers are not obligated to allow any particular "speech" within their ranks. This makes it so that the acceptability of tats still varies by geographic location.
Quick Stats About Tattoos in General
A look at the statistics for tattooing shows why more and more people think they're fine to have — and show — at work. Among those of all ages, about 14 percent have tattoos, according to Millennial Magazine opens in a new window. While that alone should be enough to help improve acceptability, the change is really being rammed through by the fact that about 36 percent of those are 18-25. Meanwhile, a quarter of those aged 26-40 has at least one tat.
With figures like these, most employers can no longer afford to be so picky. The cost of labor is proportionate to its availability, so if they instantly knock 36 percent of potential workers out of the running, their payroll costs will spike. When a business practice has to compete with financial prudence, financial prudence will win – at least at companies that will still be around in a few years.
Is There Anything that Can be Done About Anti-Tattoo Discrimination?
The discrimination seems to be declining year over year as tattoo popularity grows. Groups like STAPAW are using public awareness and pressure to move things along faster in areas where labor availability alone isn't enough. This is reducing tattoos in the workplace discrimination over time.
Are There Downsides to Tattoos in the Workplace?
Yes, there are tattoos in the workplace pros and cons. One con is that some customers still think of them and other unique body modifications as automatically offensive, so they may complain. However, this is often offset by the fact that some of today's best talent sports ink and good talent helps a company grow and stay strong.
More and more people have tattoos – especially millennials
Employers are being forced to be more accepting of body art because being too restrictive makes it too hard to obtain high-quality employees
Although there may still be some stigma surrounding workplace tattoos, it is often offset by professional demeanor, qualifications, and work effort
It's in most companies' best interests to allow tattoos anyway
Whether or not your company currently allows tattoos, be sure that it is properly insured. Even without a specific law about tattoos in your area, someone may decide to sue if he or she doesn't like your policy. Be sure to carry business practices insurance to limit your liability.
