Hi. A question for Mr. Ruiz. In episode 2F09 when Itchy plays Scratchy's skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib twice in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is some sort of a magic xylophone or something? Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
What is your opinion of Jamie Oliver and what he was attempting to do on Food Revolution?

Check Engine Light (CEL): Eurovan
The check engine light can come on for about 6,000 different reasons. The most common reason is forgetting to put the fuel cap back on, which makes it impossible for the evaporative control system to work properly, and causes the check engine light (CEL) to come on. In 1997-2000 Eurovans that still use ignition wires (01-03 models do not), misfire codes are very common.
Whatever the reason your CEL came on, you might think, "Heck, it runs fine, I will just ignore it. When it's time to smog it, I will have it reset, smog it, and forget about it again." Unfortunately, having the light reset does not mean you can just go in and have it smogged before it comes back on. That would be great, except that after the light is reset, the vehicle has to be driven a certain amount of time and miles and heat cycles and at certain speeds (the exact amount of each is a mystery only the BOSCH engineer that programmed it knows for sure) before the computer goes into the "all-good, ready for smog" mode, commonly referred to as "readiness." On top of that, the light is like the boy who cried wolf: It may indeed be telling you something more serious is wrong—or it may not. So, no, it is not a good idea (in general) to just ignore the light.
We sold a 1997 Eurovan to Liz and Terry back in 2005. By the time they got home about 250 miles away, the check engine light was on, and the code was "random misfire." We had done a complete service on it, but did not replace the ignition wires. This had happened to us once before already, so now we ALWAYS put new wires on every 2000 and older EVC we sell or service (as stated above, 2001-2003 models don't have ignition wires, but instead each spark plug has its own coil right on top—this "coil on plug" is a way better system, and pretty much used universally by all manufacturers today). We sent a shop in her area a set of wires, paid them to put them in, reset the light and all was good... for a while. We paid the shop for hours and hours of time, over an 18-month period to replace the wires, plugs, injectors, coil pack, engine management computer (ECU)—you name it. They could not get the light to stay off long enough for the computer to go into the "all clear" mode so she could smog the damn thing. Finally I said, "Terry, I am sorry, but you have to bring it back to us." So, they bring it back, hop on a train, and head home.
We gave the job to our senior tech, a forty-year VW veteran extraordinaire. He opened the hood, snapped in two loose spark plug wires that were not on all the way, reset the light, and voila. We drove it around until the computer was ready, smogged it, and that was that. As far as we know, the dreaded light has remained dark... and we'll take that as a small victory!
So, was it one of the other components, perhaps? No, because all the stuff we sent them to try came out of other Eurovans into which we plugged in the suspect parts that came off of Liz's Eurovan, and they worked fine in the other Eurovans. (We have lots of Eurovans around in various stages of restoration, being prepped for sale. Don't worry, we did not steal a part from your Eurovan while it was here getting worked on! We wouldn't do that... probably.). No, it was probably just a loose wire all along.
So, was that other shop just totally incompetent or what? I don't think so, because they seemed really sharp. It just gets to a point where you just can't see the forest for the trees. It is just human nature to think that, when you have done something, and paid close attention, there is NO WAY that could be it. But in this case, it was. On top of that, there are some aftermarket, very high-quality ignition wires out there for the VW VR6 engine that work great in Jettas, Golfs, Passats and other VW models fitted with this same engine, but are just too short for the Eurovan application. You have to get the right ones (which, of course, GoWesty has). The VW dealer has correct wires, too. But if you have a misfire code and go to a VW dealer, they will replace one wire at a time. Needless to say, that can get kinda pricey. For some incredibly unbelievable and stupid reason, VW has always sold ignition wires individually. I don't know if it's a liability thing—like they can't sell someone anything more than they actually need, or they get sued? Dealers have created such a bad name for themselves, with so many highly publicized fiascos, I guess they just have to cover their asses? I don't know why for sure, but I do know that it's ridiculous to replace ONE ignition wire at a time.
So, the moral of the story: Keep it simple. Tens of thousands of these vehicle were produced in exactly the same way. It is probably NOT something super complicated or unusual, but most likely human error or a maintenance item. Just like on a Vanagon, or any other vehicle for that matter, first make sure ALL the regular maintenance stuff is done—plugs, wires, filters, fluids—stuff that doesn't last forever anyway, and that it's probably time for you to replace. But, of course, you have to put on quality stuff and put it on CORRECTLY. If you get burned out, have someone else check your work—we always recommend a professional shop.

Q: How to customize Spring Security UI adding fields I have installed Spring Security UI. It is working with the default fields:

*

*username

*email

*password

*password2

I want to add more fields. For example:

*

*phoneNumber

*grailsIsCool

So I type:
grails s2ui-override register packageName

It creates an empty class which extends: grails.plugins.springsecurity.ui.RegisterController.
Is the correct way to do it to copy&paste all the code of the extended class where the default fields appear together (username, email, password and password2) Then, adding the new fields after them? (phoneNumber and grailsIsCool). Alain Perry followed this approach and posted is code here: http://grails.1312388.n4.nabble.com/Using-spring-security-UI-with-customized-user-class-td2330737.html

A: I think this is a good question.
I started using Grails about 5 months ago, and one of the first things I did was to install Spring Security and Spring Security UI. I initially used the RegisterController provided by the plugin, however I ended up rewriting most of it.
The UI RegisterController contains a lot a business logic - I prefer to keep my controllers as dumb as possible, so I created a RegistrationService and moved the RegisterController code I needed there.
Another gotcha was the RegisterController's use of the grails command object pattern. I ran into problems when I deployed my app to CloudFoundry and couldn't figure out why. I later read that other people had experienced the same issue. Simple workaround, but it left me scratching my head for a while...
Hope this helps.
EDIT:
So, on to your actual question. I guess the approach I took when I needed to add fields and otherwise customise the way the plugin worked was to just write my own implementation.
You can override the default Spring Security UI User, Role and UserRole classes by adding this to Config.groovy:
grails.plugins.springsecurity.userLookup.userDomainClassName = 'com.myapp.MyUser'
grails.plugins.springsecurity.userLookup.authorityJoinClassName = 'com.myapp.MyUserRole'
grails.plugins.springsecurity.authority.className = 'com.myapp.MyRole'

If you need additional fields, just add them to your User domain class, you'll also need to add validation logic to the RegisterController's Commands to deal with these additional fields.
As for pulling your Commands out as top level classes, I just keep mine in the same package as the controller. One thing to note is that since they're no longer inside your controller, they will need to have a @grails.validation.Validateable annotation added to them otherwise they won't have the various validation methods available to them at runtime.

Modeling a hiring funnel with Systems library.
September 18, 2018 After writing the Introduction to systems thinking, I scheduled my yearly trip through the internet looking for easy to use and reasonably priced systems modeling software, and didn't quite find what I wanted, so I wrote something.
August 1, 2018 Most companies believe they are constrained by funding, product market fit or hiring. Books have been written about each of those, and this will be a foray into hiring. In particular, it'll be a look at how to use the fundamental hiring diagnostic tool: the hiring funnel.
Consider the team you have for senior positions.
May 19, 2018 I've been hiring engineering manager of managers roles over the past six months. These roles are scarcer than line management roles, and vary more across companies. This process has taught me a bunch of new things, and been remarkably rewarding.
Cold sourcing: hire someone you don't know.
January 8, 2018 Most managers devote their hiring attention to folks that they already have a relationship with, which can lead to uniform teams and becoming a hiring bottleneck as your company scales. This post looks at the process of reaching out to folks you don't know, frequently referred to as cold sourcing.


Now that Donald Trump is the official republican nominee, it's time that feminists start to emotionally prepare for him becoming the next President of the United States. If you don't mind excusing me for one moment, I just dry heaved to the point of vomiting blood. But thank god it's coming out of my mouth, because I don't want Trump to think I'm like Megyn Kelly!
Trump's rise to power has been accredited to the disenfranchised right wing finding his rhetoric "refreshing." It's their belief that with Trump's leadership, they will "Take back America!" But guess what? Feminists have also been looked over by the current political status quo. Rather than cat fighting with our Trumpette sisters, WE SHOULD JOIN THEM! (Okay now the blood is pouring from both orifices - I think my uterus just killed herself).
You might be asking yourself, "why would a woman ever vote against her own interests," but that's assuming I understand complicated words like "her," and "own." There are plenty of reasons feminists should vote for Donald Trump. Mainly because as a woman, I don't have to be rational!
Here are 5 reasons why feminists should vote for Trump!

Era lo zio del celeberrimo pugile Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Biografia

Carriera da dilettante
Il suo curriculum comprende 68 incontri da dilettante, di cui 64 vinti e 4 persi.

Carriera da professionista
Roger Mayweather iniziò la sua attività professionistica il 29 luglio 1981  combattendo contro Andrew Ruiz e vincendo per knock-out tecnico al primo round.

Dopo una striscia iniziale di 14 incontri tutti vinti, il 19 gennaio 1983 fu designato di combattere per il titolo mondiale WBA dei pesi superpiuma, contro Samuel Serrano. Mayweather dominò l'incontro e sconfisse Serrano per knock-out tecnico conquistando la cintura mondiale della categoria e subentrando al messicano anche nello "status" di campione lineare. Fu l'ultimo match in carriera del suo avversario

Mayweather ha difeso con successo due volte il titolo contro Jorge Alvarado e Benedicto Villablanca prima di subire la sua prima sconfitta per KO al primo round contro Rocky Lockridge il 22 febbraio 1984. Il 7 luglio 1985 ebbe nuovamente l'opportunità di combattere per la cintura mondiale WBC dei pesi superpiuma ma fu sconfitto dal messicano Julio César Chávez per KO alla 2ª ripresa.

Conquistò il titolo WBC dei pesi welter junior il 12 novembre 1987, battendo il messicano René Arredondo per knock-out tecnico avendo atterrato l'avversario tre volte nel corso della sesta ripresa.

Il 6 giugno 1988, in un evento che comprendeva anche il match tra Thomas Hearns e Iran Barkley, sconfisse ai punti con verdetto contrastato Harold Brazier conservando il titolo mondiale.

Il 13 maggio 1989 al Great Western Forum di Inglewood ritrovò Julio César Chávez e perse il titolo mondiale WBC dei superleggeri per KO alla decima ripresa.

Il 14 marzo 1993, a Las Vegas, batté  l'ex campione del mondo dei pesi leggeri Livingstone Bramble, per squalifica al quinto round.

Ha concluso la sua carriera professionistica nel 1999 battendo ai punti Javier Francisco Mendez l'8 maggio di quell'anno. Ha combattuto 72 incontri, di cui 59 vinti (35 per KO) e 13 persi, con un totale di nove titoli maggiori e minori, ottenuti in quattro diverse categorie di peso.

Carriera da allenatore
Dopo il ritiro restò nell'ambiente come allenatore di suo nipote Floyd Mayweather Jr.. Durante l''incontro tra quest'ultimo e Zab Judah, l'8 aprile 2006, è ricordato per la "rissa" sfiorata tra lui e l'angolo dell'avversario in seguito ad una evidente scorrettezza di Judah che colpì Mayweather jr. sotto la cintura.

Malato da tempo, è morto il 17 marzo 2020, all'età di 58 anni.

In baseball, a left fielder, abbreviated LF, is an outfielder who plays defense in left field. Left field is the area of the outfield to the left of a person standing at home plate and facing towards the pitcher's mound. In the numbering system used to record defensive plays, the left fielder is assigned the number 7.

Position description

Left fielders must cover large distances - speed, instincts, and quickness in reacting to the ball are key. They must be able to catch fly balls above their heads and on the run. They must be able to throw the ball accurately over a long distance to be effective; they must also learn to judge whether to attempt a difficult catch and risk letting the ball get past them, or to instead allow the ball to fall in order to guarantee a swift play and prevent the advance of runners. Left fielders must also familiarize themselves with the varying configurations of different ballparks' foul territory, and prevent balls hit down the foul lines from getting past them into the left field corner. Amateur players may find it difficult to concentrate on the game, since they are so far from the action. Emphasizing the correct position will give outfield players something to concentrate on at each pitch. Hits to left field tend to curve toward the left field foul line, and left fielders must learn to adjust to that.

Of all outfielders, the left fielder often will have the weakest arm, as he generally does not need to throw the ball as far to prevent the advance of any baserunners. The left fielder still requires good fielding and catching skills, and tends to receive more balls than the right fielder because right-handed hitters tend to "pull" the ball into left field.  The left fielder also backs up third base on pick-off attempts from the catcher or pitcher and bunts, when possible. Moreover, when a runner is stealing third base, the left fielder must back up the throw from the catcher. Left fielders must also back up third base when a ball is thrown from right field, and back up center field when a pop fly is hit into the pocket.

Despite giving his team the advantage of accommodating a player with a weak arm, a left fielder with an above-average throwing arm can easily compile many assists. After being converted to left field, Alfonso Soriano led the league with 22 and 19 outfield assists in 2006 and 2007, respectively, his first two years playing the outfield. Despite regularly leading the league in errors and often coming out of the game for a defensive replacement in late innings, his strong arm was best utilized in left.

Hall of Fame left fielders
The following are baseball players inducted to the National Baseball Hall of Fame as left fielders:

 Lou Brock
 Jesse Burkett
 Fred Clarke
 Ed Delahanty
 Goose Goslin
 Chick Hafey

 Rickey Henderson
 Monte Irvin
 Joe Kelley
 Ralph Kiner
 Heinie Manush
 Joe Medwick

 Stan Musial
 Jim O'Rourke
 Tim Raines
 Jim Rice
 Al Simmons

 Willie Stargell
 Zack Wheat
 Billy Williams
 Ted Williams
 Carl Yastrzemski

Position transitions
When most left fielders are older or struggling defensively, they will move to first base (Stan Musial, Albert Pujols and Willie Stargell are the most prominent left fielders to switch to first base later in their career) or designated hitter, usually. Third basemen will sometimes move to left, with Ryan Braun, Kris Bryant and Alex Gordon being examples.

Transformational Leadership in Nursing
Transformational Leadership in Nursing Transformational Leadership in Nursing Transformational leadership theory is the process whereby the leaders attends to the needs and motives of their followers so that the interaction advance each to higher levels of morality and motivation (Yoder-Wise, P., 2014, pg. 10). In its most optimal form, it produces positive and valuable change within the followers with the purpose of developing the followers into leaders. When a leader embodies transformational leadership, they enhance the morale, motivation and performance of followers with various techniques. These techniques include helping the followers to connect their sense of self and identity to the mission and the collective identity of the organization; inspire followers by being their role model; challenge followers to go above and beyond what is expected of them, and understand their strengths and weakness, so the leader can assign tasks to its followers that can optimize their performance. Transformational Leadership in Nursing Background In 1978 leadership expert, James McGregor Burns developed the first concept of the transforming leadership theory. He created this theory to address the aspects of an organization in which leaders focus on the beliefs, success, needs and values of their employees. According to Burns (1978), "the transforming approach creates significant change in the life of people and organizations. It redesigns perceptions and values, and changes expectations and aspirations of employees." In 1985 Bernard M. Bass extended the work of Burns by explaining transforming leadership, but using the term transformational instead, that the followers of such leaders feel, trust, appreciation, constancy and respect for the leader because of the attributes of the transformational leader willingness to work harder than anticipated. ORDER A CUSTOMIZED PAPER HERE Transformational Leadership in Nursing Transformational leaders have the following characteristics: model of integrity and fairness, effective communication skills, provides support and recognition, sets clear goals, visionary, encourage others and has high expectations (Yoder-Wise, P., 2015). My current nurse manager, Cathy, is a transformational leader. She allows the Patient Care Coordinators (PCCs) or charge nurses and sometimes the staff to participant in the decision making. As one of the PCCs, Cathy lets me make decisions about staffing and I am responsible for scheduling the staff. "She provides constructive criticism, offers information, makes suggestions, and ask questions (Blais & Hayes 2011, p. 167)." Cathy lets me know when I am doing a good job and gives me recommendations on how I can make improvements. She gives us complements and rewards for working an extra day, orienting new staff or mentoring student nurses. Cathy "is open and encourage openness, so that real issues are confronted (Blais & Hayes 2011, p. 168)." She respects each individual and "values and uses each staff members' contribution" (Blais & Hayes 2011, p. 168). She encourages everyone to be a team player because when everyone is working together, there is a higher job satisfaction, less nurse turnover, better patient satisfaction and outcomes. She comes to work with a smile on her face, says good morning and how are you doing to everyone. She builds relationships with the staff and gets to know everyone on a personal level. She is straightforward and gives you her honest opinion. Cathy is a good leader and remodel. Since I am a member of the leadership team as a PCC of a critical care unit, we must be able to contain cost while ensuring staffing productivity and competency, along with improving patient outcomes. One major area of cost containment where I work is staffing productivity. My hospital uses a predictive model to determine the number of full-time staff each department can have based on the number of patient that were seen that month from the previous year. I work in an eight beds intensive care unit and our staffing grid is the following: eight or seven patients – four nurses and one patient care tech. (PCT); six patients – three nurses and a PCT, five patients – three nurses and a PCT, unless we are tight on man-hours then we can only have two nurses and no PCT, however if there is a patient(s) that needs behavioral observation (sitter), then we can have that extra person; four patients – two nurses, unless patient(s) need a sitter, then we can have an extra person; three patients – two nurses and no PCT; two patients – two nurses and no PCT and one patient – one nurse and no PCT. When we have an odd number of patients, we tend to go over in man-hours, so we must follow our staffing grid to ensure that we don't have to answer to administration. As a nurse manager, you educate, encourage and support staff through the changes to come within health care. It's the nurse manager role to ensure that all staff is maintaining the current acceptable level of care. Along with maintaining adequate staff for patient safety, while controlling the budget. One of my responsibilities is to help motivate the staff to buy into different policies and procedures changes. We recently had our blood culture collection policy changed and I had to educate all the staff about the new changes. One of my biggest attributes is that I am a visionary leader because I can envision the potential reality, think outside of the box and I have innovative ideas. I can come up with new ideas and new ways of looking at situations. I am a big thinker and I dream even bigger. The critical care unit that I work in has eight beds, so relatively small, and it is on the third floor. We will be expanding, which means more beds, however, I requested through my manager for the unit to move down to the first floor because it makes more sense for us to be down there, close to the ER, OR and radiology, but I was told that was not going to happen. That was just one of the many ideas that I had. As health care continues to transform, hospitals should work to improve current practices for the future. "Whether you are a leader, a follower, or a manager, being able to visualize in your mind what the ideal future is becomes a critical strategy" (Yoder-Wise 569). The Wise Forecast Model would be useful because it allows us to be proactive in preparing for the future instead of being passive and reacting to the changes as they happen. There are three steps: 1. Learn widely, 2. Think wildly and 3. Act wisely. Learn widely means to extend your knowledge beyond your own clinical role and area. Think wildly means to think outside of the box, dream big, and know that we are only limited by our imagination. Act wisely is bringing thoughts and/or ideas back down to reality and doing what is possible with the resources that is available (pg. 570). Transformational Leadership in Nursing Conclusion Transformational leaders provide their followers with an inspiring mission and vision to give them an identity, rather than just working for self-gain. The followers are motivated and transformed through their leaders' charisma, encouragement and individual consideration. These leaders encourage their followers to think of new and unique ways to challenge the status quo and to adjust the environment to support them being successful. References Blais, K.

Cardus executive vice-president Ray Pennings has spent a lot of time speaking about the data around the role of faith in public life. But, says Pennings, data doesn't exist for itself. Today, Peter Stockland reports on Pennings' recent presentation in Montreal as a shining example of how data lets institutions and society adjust to new realities.
On a late October evening, Cardus' Ray Pennings stood in the parish hall of a Catholic church leading a modest but highly engaged Montreal audience through the story of faith through numbers.
It was a fresh version of the talk which the think tank's executive vice-president has given regularly over the past two years as data has accrued from the Spirited Citizenship initiative that the Cardus has undertaken with the Angus Reid Institute. During the summer, he gave it at the Ideacity 2018 conference in Toronto. More recently, to some of the highest-powered business leaders in the country through the auspices of the Conference Board of Canada.
In the church basement in Montreal's Cote-Des-Neiges neighbourhood, he was equally at home delivering the message to gathered Christians that Canadians of faith must start effectively telling secular society not just what religion means to the religious, but how vitally it contributes to a vibrant, giving, and tolerant society.
For Anna Farrow, executive director of the English Speaking Catholic Council that hosted the event and invited Pennings to speak, realistic adjustment was the perfect topic for 2018. The ESSC launched a survey that evening, which it expects to publish by June, that will allow it to adapt to the profound changes in the demographic mix of Montreal's English-speaking Catholics. And St. Kevin's was the ideal place to hear it.
The parish, which perches on Cote-Des-Neiges road at just about the midpoint of one of the city's most varied multicultural neighbourhoods, was founded in 1938 by Irish Montrealers who'd moved up from the shores of the St. Lawrence where their immigrant forebears helped build the Lachine Canal. Today, 75 to 80 per cent of parishioners are Filipino. A substantial portion of the rest are from the Caribbean or Africa.
"In the coffee time after Mass, Tagalog is definitely the language being spoken," Farrow says.
The Spirited Citizenship data amassed through the Cardus-Angus Reid partnership bears that out empirically, not just a warm and fuzzy hope.
But with that shift has come acute awareness of the seamless nature of faith and community, she adds. Newcomers to Canada make their faith a vital starting point for joining and building community. They go to church to worship. But the very shared act of worship brings them into networks of support, of friendship, of connection with distant homes.
The Spirited Citizenship data amassed through the Cardus-Angus Reid partnership bears that out empirically, not just a warm and fuzzy hope. And that's what the audience that came to hear Ray Pennings was eager to hear more about.
For an organization such as the English Speaking Catholic Council, the ability to demonstrate that reality in hard, social science numbers is the perfect complement to the anecdotal sense of what's happening at the individual parish level, and in Montreal's English-speaking diocese as a whole. It's a combination that government officials from bureaucracies such as Immigration Canada, the media, and even the general public will pay attention to when the story is told.
Pennings calls such use of the Spirited Citizenship data "exciting" from a research perspective, and inspiring for a Christian think tank such as Cardus. Whether particular data points are positive or negative for the story of faith in public life overall, knowing they can be applied to specific situations for concrete action is "invigorating." That's why Spirited Citizenship is being augmented by creation of a regularly updated index that will measure everything from perceptions of various faith traditions to religious attitudes among young Canadians.
Indeed, one of the data points that recent surveys have uncovered is the high level of tolerance among people of faith for traditions other than their own.
That, he tells his audience in St. Kevin's church basement, is a message that has to be taken to the streets of Cote-Des-Neiges and across Canada. It's key part of the story of faith that the numbers bear out, and that bears being told over and over. Not, he stresses, to browbeat secular society but to show Canadians the true face of religious believers.

PORT Macquarie will be inundated by grommets later this month when the 2014 NSW Junior State Surfing Titles rolls into town.
Almost 350 junior surfers from all over NSW will hit the wave-rich region when the event kicks off on July 21.
It runs until July 27.
The prestigious competition will determine the NSW team for the upcoming Australian Junior Surfing Titles in Yallingup, Western Australia, in December.
All qualifiers for the NSW Junior State Titles were determined by 10 individual regional titles, which took place up and down the NSW coastline earlier in the year.
The NSW Schools Titles will occupy the first two days on the event. This will be the fourth year Surfing NSW has incorporated the titles into the main event.
"Surfing NSW has had a great relationship with the Port Macquarie community in the past and we enjoyed five very successful years in the area with the Australian Surf Festival," Surfing NSW chief executive officer Mark Windon said.
The NSW State Junior Titles can run anywhere between North Haven and North Wall at Port Macquarie.
The Town Green Inn will be the official venue of the titles, hosting a variety of competitor nights, as well as the opening and closing ceremonies.
Surfing NSW will also host its free CPR and board rescue course, Surfers Rescue 24/7 for all interested competitors, their families and the local community.

The Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) charter is a professional designation awarded by the CFA Institute. The CFA charter, perhaps the most respected and recognized investment credential in the world, demonstrates a mastery of a comprehensive body of knowledge important in the investment decision-making process. To earn a CFA designation, a candidate must pass three levels of exams (Levels I, II, III) and meet the experience requirement specified by the CFA Institute. The CFA Body of Knowledge has 10 topic areas: ethical and professional standards, quantitative methods, economics, accounting and corporate finance, global markets and instruments, valuation and investment theory, analysis of fixed-income securities, analysis of equity investments, analysis of alternative investments, and portfolio management. Candidates are tested on all topic areas at each level.
To enroll with the CFA Institute and register for the first exam, a candidate must have a bachelor's (or equivalent) degree, or be in the final year of his or her bachelor's degree program at the time of registration. If a student initially enrolls/registers as a final-year undergraduate student with a degree in progress, he or she may not register for the Level II exam until he or she has earned a bachelor's degree (or has obtained enough professional work experience to meet the program's entrance requirements).
Many investment firms require entry-level employees to pursue the CFA designation as a condition of employment. However, the CFA Institute's program is a graduate-level curriculum. Thus, it shows a particular level of commitment for an undergraduate student to be preparing for the exam. We are offering this program as one opportunity for our students to distinguish themselves in a competitive employment market.
At Fordham, the CFA Track is a sequence of undergraduate courses offered by the Gabelli School of Business. The courses have been designed to prepare a student to take the CFA Level I exam shortly after graduation. When possible, courses use the same textbooks and reference materials as the CFA curriculum. Also, questions from previous CFA exams are used on some course exams.
A candidate completing the finance courses in the CFA Track should have a basic framework for the fixed-income securities analysis, equity securities, analysis, and portfolio management topic areas. Other required courses in the business school curriculum should give the student a preliminary background in the quantitative analysis and economics sections. The remaining sections (ethical and professional standards, and financial accounting) are covered in the business core curriculum and supplemented with business electives in the curriculum.
Because Fordham is a CFA Program Partner University, a certain number of students may be selected each year to receive CFA student scholarships. These scholarships are provided by the CFA Institute, the global association of investment professionals that awards the Chartered Financial Analyst designation; they provide reduced costs for college or university students enrolling in the CFA Program. Students may not apply directly for a scholarship, but rather must be selected and sponsored by the Gabelli School's CFA program director. Full details of the scholarship program are provided to students at the start of each fall semester.
To learn more about the CFA charter, please refer to the CFA Institute website. To learn more about the CFA Track at the Gabelli School of Business, please visit the CFA Track information on the Gabelli School of Business web pages.


The contacts of a mercury switch are hermetically sealed in a glass envelope. Contact wear is, for all practical puposes, non-existent by virtue of the fact that the rupture of current takes place in an atmosphere of specially prepared hydrogen.
conventional switching devices. For inductive loads such as motors and transformers, it should be remembered that the peak value of current on switching "on" may be from five to 10 times the final load figure and a larger size switch must be selected according to prevailing conditions of use. For such applications, a switch with a porcelain liner must be used.
The fused-in liner type mercury switch consists of a conventionally shaped tube with bottom or top entry connections. Between the electrodes, a porcelain liner is sealed into the glass tube, becoming one with the glass wall. Such constructions adds greatly to the general mechanical strength of the switch and gives complete arc protection. These switches will withstand 100 per cent momentary overload and surge currents many times their normal rating without risk of damage.
Unlined glass switches are intended only for use on non-inductive AC circuits for voltages not exceeding 250 volts and similar DC circuit voltages not exceeding 50 volts. Never use a plain glass unprotected switch on full line voltage DC. When a very rapid operation is anticipated, choose a switch of ample size and a large cooling area.
The following are the lengths of standard leads fitted to mercury switches, unless specified otherwise.
For larger switches details are available on application.
Terminal tags are fitted only if specified.
Listed below are some of the standard flexible, plain copper cords available and their current ratings. Unless instructed otherwise, we will select the lead most suitable for a particular rating.
As the contacting medium is a fluid, the mercury switch lends itself to the impulsing either each way of tilt, or one way only ie no pulse on return. One or more pulses can be supplied in a single tube and the period can be varied within wide limits by the angle of tilt, length of tube etc.

Republican Karen Handel Defeats Jon Ossoff in Georgia
JUST ENOUGH
Updated Jun. 21, 2017 6:09AM ET / Published Jun. 20, 2017 10:15PM ET
Bita Honarvar
Republican Karen Handel defeated Democrat Jon Ossoff in the special congressional election runoff Tuesday in Georgia. The campaign to replace Tom Price ended up being the most expensive House race in history. With most results in Tuesday night, Handel had 52.6 percent of the vote, compared to Ossoff's 47.4 percent, according to CNN. Handel's victory was seen as a major blow for Democrats, some of whom had poured $23 million into Ossoff's campaign. Georgia's 6th District has long been a Republican stronghold, but Democrats sought to secure the seat in a show of resistance to President Trump's agenda. After conceding the election, Ossoff said that while Democrats didn't get "the outcome any of us had hoped for," the battle for the seat "is the beginning of something much bigger than us." Republicans also claimed victory in a special House election in South Carolina, with Ralph Norman beating Democrat Archie Parnell by 4 percentage points.

Only the most avid of Greenville hockey fans likely recognized the name of the goaltender announced Tuesday as signing with the Swamp Rabbits.
That's OK, because new coach Kevin Kerr is much more familiar with Garrett Bartus.
Bartus spent the past two seasons as a tandem goaltender for the Fort Wayne Komets, who reached the Western Conference finals in the Kelly Cup playoffs this past season and reached the second round in 2017. Bartus started 60 games and won 38.
Also significant to Kerr is the 2015-16 season, when he coached the Macon Mayhem of the Southern Professional Hockey League and Bartus was his No. 1 goaltender. Bartus was selected the MVP and Goaltender of the Year in the SPHL while also leading the league in save percentage at .929.
"He has really elevated his game over the last few years and is willing to battle every day to get better," Kerr said. "We want to build our team from the net out this season, and Garrett is going to give us some great depth at the goaltender position."
"It was a no-brainer when Coach Kerr came calling to play for him again," said Bartus, 28. "He's a genuine coach that truly cares about the guys on the team and has an insatiable drive to win. The culture he builds around the room is contagious, and it's really a fun and rewarding thing to be a part of."
Bartus has a bit of history with Greenville — though a very small bit.
On Jan. 4, 2015, Bartus started in goal for the Greenville Road Warriors, as the franchise was known before becoming the Swamp Rabbits the next season.
That day in front 2,429 fans at The Well, Bartus played 65 minutes, making 29 saves and allowing two goals in a 3-2 shootout win against Elmira. He was selected the first star of the game.
Despite Bartus' success, It was his only appearance with Greenville during the 2014-15 season, when he played a total of eight games for a combined four ECHL and SPHL teams.
It was not, however, his only game in a Greenville uniform. As a rookie out of UConn in 2013, he played 16 minutes in a Road Warriors first-round playoff game against eventual Kelly Cup champion Reading. He did not allow a goal.
Bartus is the first goaltender and 13th player signed by the Swamp Rabbits for the upcoming 2018-19 season, which opens Oct. 12 against the Toledo Walleye at Bon Secours Wellness Arena.

Moreover, a number of smaller companies who could not afford these huge mainframes and expensive workstations also saw opportunities hitherto unavailable to them and led the way to realize huge efficiencies in productivity and economic returns. Besides the fact that they had nothing to lose, VISION also played a key role in their decision.
Microsoft-Bill Gates's idea to license the operating system - in this case, purely a concept but, nonetheless, "revolutionary" - did more than anything else to bring the PC to the masses at a price they could afford. Besides the fact that necessity played a key role in Bill Gates's thinking - breaking away from a behemoth like IBM and the huge cost of manufacturing PCs, etc., being key factors - VISION was needed to make that decision.
Questions pertaining to, "What is a Virtual Organization, What is Virtual Organization Management, What is a Virtual Team, Is this Virtual Team Consulting services, Are We considered a Virtual Organization, What is Virtualization, What is Virtualization of the Workforce, What is Virtualization of the Workspace, Is this Virtual Team Recruiting, Is this Virtual Recruiting, Will our Recruiters become Virtual Recruiters working from Home-God forbids, How is Virtual Organization Recruitment different than Virtual Recruiting, We already have or use Organizational Consultants and Human Resources Consultants and how do these roles differ from a Virtual Organization Consultant, etc.," cause a great deal of anxiety to the individuals asking these questions since, for the most part, they have little to absolutely no knowledge of who and where to turn to for answers.
The answer to all these questions lies in Virtual Organization Recruitment and Virtual Organization Management Consulting instead of the old Virtual Team Consulting; that's assuming that certain companies made the big leap to hire Virtual Team Consultants in the first place.
Virtual Team Consulting is engagement specific and deals with a microview of a virtual situation.
Whereas, Virtual Organization Management takes a macroview of an entire organization and, as is standard practice with its typical brick and mortar counterparts, seeks to institute best-next practices, policies and procedures for operating in a [virtual] environment. In this instance, the virtual organization acts in parallel with the brick and mortar organization instead of acting as its extension.
These best-next practices, policies and procedures can be gradually implemented throughout an entire organization on a piece by piece basis [e.g. group, department, location, function, etc.] until one is able to achieve a near or completely virtual duplicate of the entire organization. When fully realized at whatever stage (piece) of implementation, the benefits are immense and translate into a direct and positive impact on the bottom line.
Virtual Organization Management is often confused with one of its subsets, Virtual Team Consulting. Virtual Organization Management is light years ahead of virtual team consulting.
Once implemented, Virtual Organization Management allows an organization to make a seamless transition from today's Virtual Chaos to the new Virtual Organization which is rapidly taking shape before our very own eyes. It provides the roadmap that an organization needs to follow during this rapid period of Virtualization of the Workspace.
Therefore, every single organization - which intends to aggressively compete in this global market for premium talent, this 21st century employee, in order to develop and or maintain an edge over its nearest competitors - must immediately begin the process of providing Virtual Organization Recruitment Training to its entire recruiting force. This training should be outsourced to a VORT (Virtual Organization Recruitment Trainer) with deep experience in recruiting premium talent for virtual organizations.
At first glance, the most logical answer is for HR to immediately set up a separate Virtual Organization Recruitment and Management Training department entrusted with such task. However, upon closer reflection, the question is, "Who will train the Trainers?"
To that end, NetWEB Elite Solutions, Inc. - a pioneer and inventor of patent-pending best practices, policies and procedures for managing a virtual organization; with deep experience in that field since 1997 - through its newly formed division, Virtual Organization Management Institute, is the sole and only credible organization in the world leading the virtual organization recruitment and management charge in that effort. A shameless plug for an organization I chair.
With respect to the details of such implementation, the first and most essential task for Human Resources is to rapidly begin the gradual process of providing Virtual Organization Recruitment - NOT Virtual Team Recruitment - training to a new cadre of recruiters as well as to some of its existing recruiters; some of whom will eventually form the core of a new Virtual Organization Recruitment & Management Training department established with the assistance of the virtual organization recruitment and management consulting firm - the VORT/VOMT - upon completion of their training.
Once this in-house Virtual Organization Recruitment & Management Training Department is fully established, as a result of close collaboration between the head of HR and other members of executive management, it should immediately begin to provide Virtual Organization Management training to certain designated senior corporate executives and middle level managers; individuals who have been carefully scrutinized and chosen to comprise a very elite team. These individuals MUST represent the best of the brightest within that organization.
Please note this training should NOT be forced upon these individuals; otherwise, you will have, at best, a mediocre team to begin with; one which will surely result in a disastrous failure. Instead, inclusion on that elite team should be seen and perceived as an acknowledgement of superior performance and exemplary conduct that is above and beyond the call of duty. The success of the first team will lay the groundwork and foundation for the successful implementation of this training throughout the entire organization. Failure is not an option for the simple reason that executive management will not allow room for a second chance.
For a number of critical and very important reasons, the details of which are outside the scope of this treatise, the initial training must be conducted via an audio teleconference-webinar session in order to introduce recruiters to the virtualization lexicon - the language that will be used to communicate with them during the later stages of the virtual organization recruitment training process.
Once this "orientation" training has been completed, it becomes critical that the second stage of training be conducted ONSITE at the client's location. Continuous training is then recommended, although not required, over a minimum 3-6 month period for Virtual Organization Recruitment and, ideally, over a 6-12 month period for Virtual Organization Management.
This new vanguard of Virtual Organization Recruiters, Virtual Organization Consultants, Virtual Organization Management Consultants, and corporate managers trained on that subject is critically needed NOW at companies at all levels and, from all indications based on previous and current experience, there is a groundswell of support in both directions - from top to bottom and from the bottom up - for this change to take place in certain sectors of the corporate world.
They were wise to make the initial steps as Early Adopters and they have tremendously benefited from their decision which have resulted in savings of billions of dollars over the past 13 years. Most likely, they will continue down the path of innovation and progress and will continue to set the trail for others to follow with the adoption of Virtual Organization Recruitment and Management.
Although no definitive data exists on the number of companies that make up Camp Vision, one can safely say, based on anecdotal evidence, that they represent no more than 2% of the global corporate world.
Corporate Human Resources and Agency Recruiters at Camp Aware are aware of the fact that this is somewhat a gray, confusing, and thorny issue that needs to be tackled with as soon as possible, however, they do not see any urgent need to do so at this time and nor have they made any attempt to include it as a separate line item in their fiscal budget. They have other pressing needs and priorities and, unless mandated by the CEO or Board of Directors, this is not something that needs fixing at this time. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Rather, they view it as something that needs to be patched. I dare say, they look at it from the standpoint: "If it is cracked, patch it." In which case, some of them are doing an excellent patch job.
A number of them includes companies, e.g. Bank of America, who hire Virtual Recruiters to work directly from their home office for as much as $80-90 per hour after undergoing a 2-week training at their corporate location; after which time they are only required to report back to corporate on a quarterly basis.
And for those Recruiters and Corporate Trainers who heed the call for transition to Virtual Organization Recruiters, Virtual Organization Consultants, and Virtual Organization Management Trainers, they will be poised to reap the huge rewards and prestige these positions will bring due to the impact they will have on their employer's bottom line; and this will indeed be welcome news for all.
This group will represent the Third Wave of the transformation of the recruitment industry and, by extension, the corporate world; and if history is any guide, this should take place within the next 7-10 years. With the significant influx of new entrants into the Virtual Organization Recruitment field at that particular stage, the rewards and benefits will begin to stabilize and level off and the prestige associated with the titles of Virtual Organization Recruiter, Virtual Organization Consultant, and Virtual Organization Management Trainer will begin to lose their novelty and luster.
In conclusion, Corporate and Agency recruiters and Corporate Trainers with the VISION to heed the call and make the transition to Virtual Organization Recruiter, Virtual Organization Consultant, and Virtual Organization Management Trainer will have an opportunity to redefine the global corporate landscape on a scale such as it has never been seen before, revolutionize the entire recruiting industry, and bring about a new golden age. History is in the making, so go for the ride.

Why would you like to attend this event?


Eyeing up the Christmas tree.
I got more awesome slippers for Christmas.
Party hat + wine = Merry Christmas!
The snow is so cold i can't keep my feet on the ground!
No idea where this came from. I was just messing around while waiting for the kettle to boil.
I have taken to constantly wearing a blanket around the house.


I have loaned money to the operator of a manufactured home sales lot for the past 25 years and would secure the loans with notes that were secured by their lot models. When they folded in the fall of 2017, they couldn't repay me, so instead they signed over the titles to these two homes. These homes typically sold for 100k (MH) to 110k (Mod) but I do not have lots for them currently and will sell them just for what I am owed which is $69,250 for the mobile home and $90,250 for the modular home. Below are photos of them and details.
This mobile home has never been lived in. It was a lot model.
This modular home has never been lived in. It was a lot model.
Furniture not included. The home has been moved to Big Cat Rescue's back gate at 8013 N. Meadowview Circle Tampa, FL 33625 and is ready to move (cut in half and covered) I estimate it to cost appx. $5,000 – $7,500 to pull to its next location and be put back together. I will consider financing the home for the new owner if it is also secured by the land.

Prevent Carbon Monoxide Poisonings After Hurricane Irma
By Florida Department of Health, Office of Communications
NewsMedia@flhealth.gov
Tallahassee, Fla. — As Floridians statewide begin the task of recovering from Hurricane Irma, the Florida Department of Health (DOH) is urging the public to avoid carbon monoxide (CO) exposure by taking precautions with portable generators, gas-powered appliances and charcoal or gas grills. CO is a poisonous gas produced by burning fuels such as gasoline, natural gas, propane, kerosene, charcoal and wood. CO from these sources can build up in enclosed or partially enclosed spaces, such as your home or garage. The risk of illness or death increases with the level of CO in the air and the amount of time exposed.
Depending on the level of exposure, carbon monoxide may cause fatigue, weakness, chest pains for those with heart disease, shortness of breath upon exertion, nausea, vomiting, headaches, confusion, lack of coordination, impaired vision, loss of consciousness, and in severe cases, death.
The department recommends the following precautions to help prevent carbon monoxide poisoning:
Do not burn charcoal or gas grills inside a house, garage, vehicle, tent or fireplace.
NEVER use a generator indoors, including in homes, garages, basements, crawl spaces, and other enclosed or partially enclosed areas, even with ventilation. Opening doors and windows or using fans will not prevent CO build-up in the home.
ALWAYS locate the unit outdoors on a dry surface, away from doors, windows, vents, and air conditioning equipment that could allow CO to come indoors. Follow the instructions that come with your generator.
Install battery-operated CO alarms or plug-in CO alarms with battery back-up in your home, according to the manufacturer's installation instructions. The CO alarms should be certified to the requirements of the latest safety standards for CO alarms (UL 2034, IAS 6-96, or CSA 6.19.01).
Test your CO alarms frequently and replace dead batteries.
REMEMBER that you cannot see or smell CO and portable generators can produce high levels of CO very quickly.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using a generator, get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. DO NOT DELAY.
If you have a poisoning emergency, call your nearest Florida Poison Information Center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call 911 immediately.
For further information, please contact your local county health department or visit www.floridahealth.gov or www.FloridaDisaster.org.
During severe weather and other emergencies, you can count on active alerts from the department's official social media accounts. One of the fastest ways to receive official and accurate health-related information is to monitor @HealthyFla on Twitter and on Facebook.

The department, nationally accredited by the Public Health Accreditation Board, works to protect, promote and improve the health of all people in Florida through integrated state, county and community efforts.

(1913-2007) est un enseignant de mathématiques français.

Biographie
Jean Bass naît en 1913 d'un ingénieur chimiste et d'une enseignante agrégée d'histoire et géographie. Son arrière-grand-père est député à l'Assemblée constituante de 1848. Avec sa sœur cadette Geneviève Bass, ce futur ingénieur et mathématicien reçoit de son père une éducation .

À sa sortie de l'École polytechnique, il fait une année à l'École de l'air de Versailles, puis suit les stages de pilotage et devient pour deux ans élève ingénieur à l'École nationale supérieure de l'aéronautique et de l'espace.

En 1937, il passe en licence de mathématiques à l'université de Paris le certificat de géométrie supérieure sous la direction d'Élie Cartan, et soutient sa thèse en  devant un jury composé de Louis de Broglie, Henri Villat, et Georges Darmois. En 1951, il succède à Paul Lévy comme professeur de mathématiques à l'École nationale supérieure des mines de Paris. En 1952, sur l'invitation de Michel Loève, il enseigne comme professeur invité au laboratoire de statistiques de Berkeley.

Durant l'année universitaire 1953-1954, il enseigne les mathématiques à l'École nationale supérieure de mécanique de Nantes à la demande de Christian Pauc, mais il est rapidement rappelé à Paris où il va enseigner les mathématiques à l'École supérieure d'aéronautique jusqu'en 1968.

Il est de 1955 à 1957 maître de conférences à l'École polytechnique, et examinateur pour les mathématiques dans cette école de 1958 à 1970. En 1971, il est professeur à l'université de Paris VI.

Devenu aveugle à la fin de sa vie, il reste cependant actif et productif. En dehors des mathématiques, il avait une passion pour la montagne qu'il a su transmettre à ses enfants et petits-enfants, ainsi que pour la musique, et des qualités d'organiste.

Il demeurait à la Résidence Athénée au 21, rue Ferdinand-Jamin à Bourg-la-Reine.

Q: How to solve ADB error [INSTALL_FAILED_UID_CHANGED] on non-rooted phone? I get the error using the Android Studio (but I get the same if I use ADB from command line).
Every solution I found says that I need to delete the installation folder on the phone:
adb shell rm -r /data/data/com.example.my

but I get a permission denied error.
So what can I do on non rooted device?
(I can't delete the folder from device file browser, the folder /data is empty)
The app is not listed in the Android app manager
adb uninstall com.example.my

gives
Failure

A: Unfortunately the only fix I have found for a non-rooted phone is to wipe the device and start again. The reason this is happening will be because the folder still exists with one file that wasn't deleted.

A: Try this out
adb shell pm clear MY_PACKAGE_NAME

or maybe this:
adb install -l -r <'apk_name'>.apk -l = forward lock -r = reinstall

A: Why don't you uninstall the app using:
adb uninstall com.example.my

This question is related: Android INSTALL_FAILED_UID_CHANGED

"Looking for me?" A husky voice sounded in his ear, stirring him. He spun, coming face-to-face with the woman who'd made his blood heat upon sight. He stared, wondering if he'd imagined her, but she confirmed her presence by reaching for his drink and taking a sip.
"Hennessey…nice."
He continued to stare, surprised by her boldness.
Terrence cleared his throat, summoning his charm. He intended to add a witty comment, but all he got out was, "how d'you know I had my eyes on you?"
"I saw you from downstairs…I'm sure it wasn't my imagination."
"No, it wasn't. My name's Terrence; what's yours?"
"Erika." She touched his tumbler. "Any more where that came from?"
"Sure." He led her to the booth to join the others. After a quick introduction, Charlie stood up, his eyes scanning Erika's form. "I'm heading to the dance floor," he said. "Seems that's where the action is." Behind Erika's back, he gave Terrence two thumbs up with a wide grin.
Simone rolled her eyes, her disdain more obvious than ever. Pushing to her feet, she grabbed Eli's hand. "Let's go."
"What's her problem?" Erika asked, scowling at Simone's departing back.
"Don't worry about it."
"Shouldn't I? I saw the way she looked at me."
He patted her thigh in an attempt to temper her growing—and confusing fury. But the softness of her skin diverted his thoughts, and he began caressing his way to the edge of her dress.
"Your skin; it's so soft…what do you use?"
Her eyes softened, and she relaxed. "Body butter." Her gaze dropped to his hand as it continued to travel upwards, disappearing under her dress. "You're so bad," she murmured, inching closer to the edge of the seat, releasing a tiny moan as his fingers connected to her mound.
"Guilty," he returned, pulling her towards him for a kiss. It was hot, but sweet, the hint of whatever liquor she'd drunk earlier on her tongue. Her lips were supple, but firm, and they moved against his with a hunger that matched his own. She rocked against his fingers, pulling him further in her mouth, and he continued to taste her.
Grateful for the table that blocked their lower half, he stroked her sex through the lace panties, struggling against the urge to part the seat and slip his fingers inside. A searing ache settled in his groin.
Just as he was about to succumb to touching Erika's bare flesh, a popular dancehall song rose and the clubbers cheered. She broke the kiss and shot up with excitement. "This is my jam," she exclaimed, extending her hand. "Come on, let's dance."
A blanket of desire covered him as they walked to the center of the floor. With the bodies of other couples surrounding them, they settled into a slow grind and she merged with his hard frame. Her lips grazed his neck as she rolled against him.
"You smell good." Her throaty whisper sounded in his ear, heating him. In response, he slipped his hands around her waist, enjoying her softness. Her body touched his in waves, increasing the tension that landed the moment he'd laid eyes on her.
Suddenly she twisted, bending over to give him a clear view of her high, firm butt. He gave an internal groan as she backed up on him. His dick hardened, pressing against his zipper.
Like a self-conscious schoolboy, he looked around, thankful for the cluster that surrounded them. A slight tremor ran through him as she twerked, her ass gliding over his erection, creating a sweet pain. His hips moved on their own volition, working to ease the tension that resonated through his body.
Wishing there were no clothes between them, he rammed against her, bouncing to the beat of the music. His arousal thickened to a maddening point. Never in his life had he wanted to fuck a woman this bad.
Erika straightened and turned to face him, her gyration slowing. Her hand dipped to his crotch and she gave a sly grin as she fondled him through his pants. "Someone's been doing more than dancing," she said against his ear. Her hand continued to knead his hardness.
He resisted the urge to grind against her hand. "Stop," he whispered, not wanting her to.
"Make me," she returned, increasing the massage. "Stop me…" Her hands went to the button of his pants, then the zipper, unfastening them with a sharp tug. She slipped inside and her firm grip made him groan out loud. Grateful for the music that drowned his cry, he grabbed her hand. "Erika…"
"I want to feel you," she replied. "All of you…inside me…tonight."
