Opening Remarks and Introduction
Commencing the Investigation: Considerations at the Outset
Conducting the Investigation
Concluding the Investigation
Gregory Morvillo is best known for his work shaping insider trading law. His victory before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in the landmark insider trading case United States v. Newman propelled him to being one of the most sought-after insider trading defense attorneys in the country. Since that time, he has successfully defended numerous individuals accused of committing insider trading before the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Greg represented Anthony Chiasson in the criminal, appellate and regulatory actions in the above referenced case, all of which resulted in total exoneration. His work for Chiasson led Law360 to note that he "went toe-to-toe with hard-charging U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara to win a landmark Second Circuit decision … that raised the bar for prosecuting individuals who are one or more layers removed from sources of confidential information and overturned the conviction of his hedge fund manager client."
In the wake of Newman, Greg has become immersed in insider trading and securities fraud cases. He has tried numerous insider trading/securities fraud cases to verdict over the past several years and has taken on multiple appeals for clients in this ever-evolving area of the law. Recently, he prevailed on a motion to vacate former SAC portfolio manager Richard Lee's guilty plea. Subsequently, he secured a dismissal of the criminal charges even though Lee had previously pled guilty to insider trading and cooperated with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.
Greg also regularly advises public companies and privately-owned hedge funds on their compliance issues and methods to train/educate employees to avoid running afoul of the law. He has written and spoken on insider trading and corporate best practices dozens of times in the past few years.
Beyond his insider trading work, Greg has represented both individuals and corporations in numerous federal and state court actions and in government investigations. He has litigated against United States Attorneys' Offices across the country, the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C., numerous regional offices of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the New York State Attorney General's Office, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, the New York Stock Exchange, FINRA, the CFTC and other government and self-regulatory organizations. He has also handled appeals in the Second, Third, Fourth, and Tenth Circuit Courts of Appeals. He routinely advises clients on criminal law, securities, regulatory, civil, administrative and corporate governance issues.

        'health_check_interval': 5,  # Check worker health every second.
        'simple_log': True,
        },
    }

What I've done so far in my tasks.py file:
@periodic_task(crontab(hour='10'))
def getjplus1():
    calculation = (datetime.now() - timedelta(days=1)).strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
    filter_fields = {
        'date_ope': calculation,
        'escalade': 'False',
        'rel_dou': 'False',
        'rel_dou_ok':'False',
        'rel_hemo':'False',
        'rel_hemo_ok':'False'
        }
    for key, value in filter_fields.items():
        suivis_patient = SuiviPatient.objects.filter(
            response_suivi_patient__suivi_field_name__icontains=key ,
            response_suivi_patient__response__icontains=value,
            status='planifié',
            archived=False
            )

    get_suivi_patient_j1(list(set(suivis_patient)))

But it's not running at 10am.
however it works when I run periodic_task every minute like so:
@periodic_task(crontab(minute="*/1"))
def getjplus1():
    calculation = (datetime.now() - timedelta(days=1)).strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
    filter_fields = {
        'date_ope': calculation,
        'escalade': 'False',
        'rel_dou': 'False',
        'rel_dou_ok':'False',
        'rel_hemo':'False',
        'rel_hemo_ok':'False'
        }
    for key, value in filter_fields.items():
        suivis_patient = SuiviPatient.objects.filter(
            response_suivi_patient__suivi_field_name__icontains=key ,
            response_suivi_patient__response__icontains=value,
            status='planifié',
            archived=False
            )

    get_suivi_patient_j1(list(set(suivis_patient))

)

A: Since you mentioned that you are using huey package as part of your code. You can utilize its periodic_task decorator and add crontab within it.
from huey import crontab

@huey.periodic_task(crontab(hour='10'))
def every_ten_in_the_morning():
    print('This task runs every 10 in the morning.')

You can also check its documentation to know more about huey periodic task : https://huey.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guide.html#periodic-tasks

A: For this you can use via pip install django-celery and use celery.
from celery.schedules import crontab
from celery.task import periodic_task

@periodic_task(run_every=crontab(hour=10, minute=0))
def every_day():
    print("This is run every Monday morning at 10:00")

NFL Fever 2002 – Review
By Mike Doolittle on December 31, 2001 in Reviews
For a fledgling console, the Xbox has no shortage of football titles. With Electronic Arts' Madden NFL 2002 and Sega's NFL2K2 bringing their own refined brand of gridiron action to the table, Microsoft's in-house project NFL Fever 2002 has been held to some pretty lofty expectations. Maybe we don't expect Microsoft to revolutionize video football, but as the Xbox is an up-and-coming system needing strong word of mouth, a solid, playable title is the least gamers can and should expect. For better or worse, NFL Fever 2002 is exactly that. It won't quite knock your socks off like the original NFL2K did back in 1999, and it won't leave a sour taste in your mouth like Acclaim's NFL Quarterback Club did, er…every year since its inception. It's a well-designed football game with a deep playbook, plenty of options, good artificial intelligence and a great physics engine. It doesn't deliver a knockout punch, but this rookie franchise shows that it has the potential to be a real stunner in coming years.
The game gets off to a showboating start with a stellar full-motion video intro that segues into an easily navigated menu. I could do without the repetitive rap track pumping in the background, but fortunately I didn't have to spend much time figuring out how to get where I wanted to go. For the novice, the addition of a training mode to teach the basic skills of the game (i.e. stiff-arms, jukes, spins, etc.) is a nice touch. A practice option (now standard in football games) that allows players to run offensive and defensive plays is useful for learning the nuances of the game's unique physics engine. The whole gamut of video football options are here; there are more than enough features to keep hardcore fans occupied: a twenty-five season dynasty, fantasy challenge, create-a-player, a full NFL draft, stat tracking, and others too numerous to list.
Options in a football game, though, are the frosting – not the cake. The meat of any football game revolves around effective implementation of a realistic yet not overbearing physics engine. The physics in NFL Fever are fantastic. I have been truly impressed with the balance between responsiveness and realism. While players are generally quick to do your bidding, their movement will be affected by their weight, speed, balance and the corresponding traits of the players with whom they come into contact. The players are all animated smoothly and have convincing weight and speed. Although personal preference undoubtedly comes into play, I feel that the well-balanced physics in NFL Fever are the best in the genre. They are lifelike enough to feel convincing, but not so drowned out in motion-capture and attempted realism as to forfeit the sense of control that players should feel in any football game. Because of the excellent physics engine, running, evasive maneuvers, and tackling feel very smooth and responsive.
The passing game is acceptable but not outstanding, hurt primarily by the lack of an option to lead the receiver a la NFL2K's "maximum passing" feature. The direction of the ball can't be altered; a quick tap will lob the ball and a firm hold will send a bullet — that's the extent of control. My first impression of the passing game was that it was inconsistently done; it seemed that my players' ability to outwit defensive backs had more to do with luck than with my skills and clever play calling. However, a little patience on my part let the passing game's strengths show through. Once I got a better grasp on timing my passes and eyeing the defenders, I was able to formulate an effective passing offense. Again, much of the quality of the passing game relates back to the physics engine itself and the corresponding feel of the quarterback, defenders, and receivers.
I have to admit that although I consider myself quite adept at noticing the idiosyncrasies of game characters' artificial intelligence (AI) in most genres, football games are bit tougher. For example, if I just lobbed an 80-yard TD pass, is that a sure sign of lousy AI, or is it plausible (assuming the defense ran a 4-3 blitz against a short flag, for example)? Rather than focusing only on the frequency of money plays, I try to notice the smaller things: are my defensive backs adapting to plays? Are my linemen going beyond their preprogrammed patterns and actually seeking out ball carriers? Are they keyed in to what is happening on the field? I want players to act like they know what their jobs are and when they need to do them.
I remember a favorite play of mine in the Sega Genesis classic Madden '92. I'd simply grab the Buffalo Bills and send Thurman Thomas on a trustworthy "halfback toss left" that all but guaranteed a twenty-yard plus gain. No matter how many times I ran that play, the clueless AI never picked up on it. Well, nothing of the sort happens in NFL Fever. Just to be outlandish, I created a team made up of perfect-rated supermen. I pitted my monsters against the St. Louis Rams, and for the first quarter of play easily dominated with a ludicrously effective offensive line and an impeccable running game. To my surprise, the Rams rose to the occasion and by the second half had completely shut down my running game despite their obviously inferior player ratings (don't worry, I still won that one). The players in NFL Fever do in fact adapt to plays and have a good sense of what is happening on the field. Incidentally, I remember beating beaten in NFL2K1 by a player who had found a hole in the defensive AI during the halfback option. Once the halfback was handed the ball, the entire defense would come charging for him, leaving receivers open downfield – a quick pass meant an almost guaranteed touchdown. In NFL Fever, defensive players will pursue ball carriers without completely abandoning their positions, making such plays unlikely. AI can make or break a football game, and although I noticed nothing particularly striking about NFL Fever's AI, it is clearly well done and free of any obvious holes.
I must also admit that I am a sucker for atmosphere, and NFL Fever does a great job recreating the mood of the game with its presentation. The graphics are unequivocally the best yet in video football. The players have convincing physiques and are detailed beyond reproach. The stadiums look fantastic and are accented nicely with animated crowds and busy sidelines; on a clear day, expect to see well into a stadium's surrounding city. Particle effects like snow, rain, and dirt are also very clean and convincing. The commentary is rather banal, consisting mostly of mechanical play-by-play and cheesy one-liners like "lot o' flavor on that play!" There is no interaction between the two announcers, and many of the one-liners are repeated to the point of becoming predictable (expect to hear "now that's how you help your team!" nearly every time there's an interception). It's tolerable, but they have a ways to go for next year's edition. Still, the overall visual and audio package is superlative. I enjoyed smaller touches such as the player taunts, the detailed textures on the field itself, and the gratuitous (but impressive) cinematic camera angles used as the players line up for plays.
NFL Fever 2002 is a good start for a franchise that will likely be a big investment for Microsoft and its first-party developers. It offers a surprisingly polished (though certainly not superior) alternative to the more established football franchises from Sega and EA. A good deal of refinement and a dash of innovation are needed before it can be considered a truly superlative franchise, but even in its current incarnation it's an enjoyable title with solid gameplay and enough options to keep players busy until next year's update. The excellent physics, deep playbook, and solid AI truly demonstrate the potential this series has, and I for one hope to see Microsoft make the most of this underdog in the coming years.

The Vancouver Book Club's Spring Selection is Rob Taylor's poetry collection The Other Side of Ourselves and to get you into the right frame of mind we're running a photo contest in the weeks leading up to the April 29th event.
Wow. Last's week's poem "Creation Stories" generated a lot of interesting imagery.
"An Ocean Apart" by Raoul Fernandes.
The line "he curls his arm around her, cocooning her in blankets"brought about the image above and the one below.
Unfortunately there were a number of photos submitted that were extremely small files sizes and dimensions. Please make sure you check our requirements before submitting. All photos submitted will be entered into a prize draw at the April 29 event.
1) email the photo to us at books@vancouverisawesome.com. Put "TOSOO Photo Week 5″ in the subject line.
The deadline to enter photos for this week's poem is next Wednesday, April 4, 2012. We'll post the photos, and the next poem, on Friday.


One of Croatia's most sacred and historical regions, the pebbled Dalmatian Coast hugs the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea.
History enthusiasts will cherish visits to the city walls of Dubrovnik, the Franciscan Monastery and Museum, and Sponza Palace.
Mild Mediterranean weather is warm and inviting year-round, with the months of May and June showcasing 12 hours of sunshine each day.
Located off the Adriatic Sea, Croatia's Dalmatian Coast is quickly becoming one of Europe's most popular destinations. Not yet on the radar of many people, those in the know have been vacationing to this paradise for years. In addition to amazing restaurants and beaches, tourists also love to explore the coast's many unique islands, most of which are just a short boat ride away. Travelers also relish Primosten, a lovely medieval town that has maintained its Mediterranean charm with old churches and quaint promenades. For those looking for a more relaxed vacation without sacrificing luxury, the Dalmatian Coast is the perfect coastal retreat.
If you're tired of the typical winery visit, Bibich Winery is for you. Ditch the sips of wine and plates of cheese and crackers for a locally sourced, multi-course meal artfully paired with wines from on-site.
With a multitude of islands just a short boat ride away, a water excursion is a must when visiting the coast. Visit Brač Island, the largest in Dalmatia and known for its great olive oil, or see the chic and refined Hvar Island.
Cook authentic Croatian food the traditional way in the Dalmatian Coast hinterlands. Guided by a local, guests will prepare their meal in a konoba using organic ingredients. You can also book a private chef in your residence.
A local eatery favorite that is popular with both tourists and natives alike, Baćulov dvor serves up classic fare in a homey restaurant under canopies of leaves in an authentic Croatian setting.
The two most popular beaches on the Dalmatian coast, Velika Raduča and Mala Raduča draw thousands of beachgoers each year. Both beaches feature pebbled shores with calm, warm waters and are ideal for families.
These two national parks offer different yet equally alluring experiences. Hike through the Dinaric range and swim in the waterfalls in Krka or hop on a boat and explore the 89 islands that make up Kornati.
As one of the largest towns along the coast, this colorful little outpost will keep you entertained during your Croatian vacation. Beautiful, pebbled beaches, Roman ruins and a tour of Split's Old Town are just a few of the activities that await.
Split Summer Festival. Lasting for four weeks from mid-July to mid-August, this can't-miss summer festival features theatrical, musical and dance performances that take place all over the city, including in and around Diocletian's Palace.
Riva seafront. This newly renovated hangout spot is positively bursting with trendy cafes, bars and restaurants. It's also centrally located, making it easy to get to the famous produce and fish markets on the east side and the church of St. Francis on the west side.
Sea kayaking. A short drive from Split, get a perspective of Primosten from a different vantage: a sea kayak. Paddlers kayak around the shoreline with options of morning and sunset tours. Kayakers can also opt to go snorkeling and cliff jumping during the trip.
The Dalmatian Coast is close to two of Croatia's most popular UNESCO World Heritage sites. The city of Trogir features lovely Romanesque churches while the historical complex at Split is home to the ruins of Diocletian's grand palace.
Knowing a few phrases in Croatian can be very helpful when you're out and about sightseeing. Need to say hello? Bok. Please and thank you? Molim and hvala. And most importantly, Gdje se nalazi nužnik? or Where is the restroom?
Although Croatia is a member state of the European Union, they continue to use the Croatian Kuna. Kuna notes are come in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1,000. Avoid large bills as they tend to be difficult to change.
Like many other European locales, tipping is not expected but is still appreciated. Generally, people round the bill up and leave that amount as a tip in places such as cafés or for cab fares. However, in nicer establishments, a 10% tip is fine to leave.


Full of adventure and emotion, Race to the Bottom of the Sea is an enthralling novel. Use our Teacher Discussion Guide to prompt your class to discuss character emotions, the significance of the past, how to cope with death, and much more! Intended to meet Common Core State Standards, our Teacher Discussion Guide goes beyond the adventure to uncover the author's literary intentions.

Finding an experienced pool builder houston tx is the most important step in the pool building process, right after deciding which type of pool you want. A pool builder can help you decide what type of pool will suit your home, and they can offer advice on which pool features to get. When looking for a pool builder, it may help to consider the steps below.
Swimming pool builders can be found with a variety of sources. Friends, family members and coworkers with pools can be a great source of recommendations, and a quick Internet search can also yield results. Check the phone book for ads, which indicates that the company has the money to spend on advertising.
The important thing here is to ensure that the builders you've chosen have a brick-and-mortar location. An honest pool builder in Houston TX will have a physical address where they can exhibit some previous work, sell accessories and consult with customers. That's not to say that a small company can't be a good builder; it just means that larger builders are generally more reliable.
Which type of pool will you recommend, and why? A reliable pool builder will make recommendations that suit the homeowner's budget and their home.
How many swimming pools has the company installed? New companies may be good, but you should go with a company that has a long track record in the area.
Can I have some recent references?
How are disputes between you and the customer handled?
How much will the pool cost in total?
What extra costs should I look for? Most builders are honest, but others will tack on fees without the customer's knowledge.
The easiest way to check the credentials of a pool builder in Houston TX is to review its record with the BBB (Better Business Bureau). Check the five most recent builds in your area, and ask those customers whether they would use the builder again. Steer clear of a builder who is unwilling to offer a list of references, or one who has a home-based business. While they may be a good builder, the law of averages says that it's best to choose a pool builder with a solid reputation and a physical location. By carefully choosing a pool builder, you can get the pool you want at a price you can afford.
