UKIP has announced it will not contest Bournemouth West in the forthcoming General Election.
Martin Houlden, vice chairman of the party's local branch, and their candidate in 2015, said that with Brexit-backing Conor Burns representing the constituency for the Conservative Party they did not wish to split the Eurosceptic vote.
"The committee have decided not to contest the Bournemouth West seat at the forthcoming election as the present MP Conor Burns also believes the country would be better off leaving the EU, and therefore it does not make sense to oppose him," he said.
"Whilst we are still a very active local party, we want to ensure that the decision taken by the people of the United Kingdom in June of last year to leave the European Union is duly carried out, and we do not want to risk Brexit by splitting the vote and allow a weak coalition Government to ignore the will of the people.
"UKIP Bournemouth West have decided to put country before party, people before politics. Although we understand that our members and supporters would have wanted to vote for a UKIP candidate, we hope they can see our logic for this one-off decision."
Earlier this month, when approached by the Daily Echo after the defection of Bournemouth's sole UKIP councillor Laurence Fear to the Tory Party, Mr Houlden said UKIP had a significance in the north of England, but might struggle to find suitable candidates in Dorset.
The party is due to meet later this week where a decision will be made by the other constituency groups. Mr Houlden said he believed other areas with Brexit-supporting MPs might well follow Bournemouth West's lead.

Q: Locks obtained on instances in java multithreading I read that the locks in java are obtained on the instance(object) basis (in case of instance method)
Also the locks can be obtained on the object of class (in case of static method).
But I wondered how many locks can be obtained at a time by a particular object?
Can an object possess more than one lock at a time ?
If yes, please explain with an example.
Please help me clear my concept.

A: Only on one object per synchronized block. Objects won't possess the locks. It is the thread of execution which locks an object for working on it.
Locks are always obtained on objects. For example the below are two instances where locks can be obtained. The first one locks on an instance of a class (object).
Object obj = new Object();

synchronized(obj) {
    workOnIt(obj);
}

The second one looks like it locks on a class. But Test.class is a special representation for the java.lang.Class instance of my Test class.
synchronized(Test.class) {
    // call some static method here
}

A: One thread can hold multiple locks to multiple objects.  But you have to take your own risk (to avoid dead lock or performance degrade)
synchronized (obj1)
{
  synchronized (obj2)
  {
    // do sth. against obj1 and obj2
  }
}

A: A lock (in the form of a synchronized block or method) has one primary effect: Only one thread at the same time can enter an synchronized block/method of this object, i.e. only one thread can be the owner of this lock (or "monitor", as it is called in the JLS).
(Another effect is that all variables changed inside (or before) one synchronized block is guaranteed to be visible in other threads when they are in (or after) a later synchronized block on the same monitor.)
How many objects/variables you are using in this block, is your free decision, but usually you use one lock for all data that is somehow together, and should not be modified/accessed independently.
Note that having a lock on an object does not by itself avoids changing/using of this object by other threads, it only avoids other threads synchronizing on this object. So be sure to synchronize all relevant methods (and do not have public variables).

A: Consider a method with a synchronized block (adapted from JVMS)
public void foo(Object f) {
  synchronized(f) {
    doSomething();
  }
}

Let's translate it to pseudocode (a mixture of Java and byte code!!!):
public void foo(Object f) {
  monitorenter(f);
  try {
    doSomething();
    monitorexit(f);
  } catch(Throwable e) {
    monitorexit(f);
    throw e;
  }
}

This is how it would look like, if the bytecode instruction monitorenter and monitorexit were java methods.
Each object has one monitor. If one thread enters the monitor and the monitor is not acquired (locked, obtained), than it acquires (locks, obtains) the monitor and calls doSomething() (which is the next line).
If now a second thread comes along and tries to enter the monitor on object f, then it waits at this place until the monitor on object f is released. The monitor is released when the first thread calls one of the two monitorexit instructions (bytecode!!).
Back to the question - how many monitors can be entered by one thread? There may be no limit (except for stack size limits). If doSomething is another synchronized method and uses a monitor of Object g, then thread one will enter that monitor too and obtain the monitor on g (if available).
It's not an object that obtains a lock, it's a thread that enters an objects monitor, and that process is "locking".

A: When you obtain a lock on a Class with a static method, you are obtain a lock on an object just like any other.
class A {
    synchronized void foo() {
        // do something.
    }

    static synchronized void bar() {
        // do something.
    }
}

is basically the same as
class A {
    void foo() {
        Object locked = this;
        synchronized(locked) {
            // do something.
        }
    }

    static void bar() {
        Object locked = A.this;
        synchronized(locked) {
            // do something.
        }
    }
}

The only class which can be confusing for the number of locks it has are instance of a Lock .  This is a different style of Lock, but is also an Object so has a standard lock as well.  So you can
Lock lock = new ReentrantLock();
lock.lock();
lock.unlock();

however, you can confusingly
Lock lock = new ReentrantLock();
synchronized(lock) { // don't do this.
   lock.wait(); // argh.
}

Inspections Resume – CQC Transitional Regulatory Approach (Last update: 02.10.20)
CQC have announced how they will monitor and regulate providers in the coming months:
The Emergency Support Framework (ESF), introduced in May 2020, enabled CQC to adapt its regulatory approach and focus on services where there were deemed to be immediate risks.
CQC is now unlikely to return to the previous frequency of inspections but will widen the scope of who they inspect to include services where there is evidence that care needs to be improved.
CQC's new Transitional Regulatory Approach will cover more issues than the ESF. It will build on the existing KLOEs with a focus on: safety, access, leadership and cultures that drive improvement. Currently, their approach lacks clear specifics. An overview published by CQC's heads of regulation is available here.
CQC will not return to their standard timetable for inspections any time soon. They will use information gathered during routine monitoring, try to ensure that people's views are heard, and are carrying out a pilot project in social care to explore new ways of gathering evidence without crossing services' thresholds. What this means in terms of methodologies and ratings remains unclear. If all five domains are not inspected, then ratings may not change. You may be saddled with ratings of requires improvement longer than a year. There may also be no specified methodology for challenging CQC's findings. We will be watching these issues as they develop.
CQC's longer term strategy is to develop a more system-led approach to regulation and work in new ways, adapting to the ever-changing landscape. CQC will launch a further new strategy in May 2021 based on four themes:
- Meeting people's needs
- Promoting safe care
- Smarter regulation
- Driving and supporting improvement
There will be a full consultation about this in January 2021. Providers and care associations should engage with this to ensure their rights are not eroded.
Elsewhere, the Government has indicated that it may give CQC more teeth to ensure that the movement of staff between services is curtailed, as set out in its Adult Social Care Winter Plan, stating in a press release on 18/09/20 that:
"The government is prepared to strengthen monitoring and regulation by local authorities and the Care Quality Commission (CQC), including asking them to take strong action where improvement is required or staff movement is not being restricted. This can include restricting a service's operation, issuing warning notices or placing conditions on a provider's registration. Further details of how the winter plan will be enforced will be set out shortly."
It remains to be seen how this will play out over the winter. There are already reasons to ensure that your infection control procedures are in line with the latest guidance and followed to the letter by staff, including the need to keep people safe, insurer's requirements and the threat of potential negligence claims. Additional powers for CQC are simply one more reason to ensure that your infection control procedures are followed with military precision.

Dubrovnik and Islands
Slano Holidays
from € 758 pp
Holidays to Slano are all about experiencing off-the-beaten-track Croatia, with beautiful scenery, quiet beaches and a scattering of authentic restaurants.
Croatian coastal setting
The pin-drop peaceful village of Slano is curved around a wide bay on Croatia's Adriatic coast, 30 kilometres north of Dubrovnik. The village comes with a picturesque backdrop of green-cloaked hills. Walking and cycling trails snake their way across the landscape, passing through pine forests, fruit orchards and olive groves. Keep an eye out and you might spot remains of castle walls and centuries-old forts.
Sleepy village
The village itself is quiet and traditional, with just a handful of restaurants, tavernas and shops. A necklace of beaches is strung across the bay, mixing sand with smooth pebbles. It's a sheltered spot, so it's ideal for watersports like kayaking and snorkelling. You can hire sail and motor boats to explore some of the offshore islands, too. As for sights, there's a 14th-century Franciscan monastery with a collection of Roman sarcophagi, and the beautiful summer residence of the wealthy Ohmucevic family.
Dubrovnik daytrips
Local buses make the 45-minute journey to Dubrovnik from the centre of the village. The city's crown jewel is its photogenic old town – its grand cathedrals, winding alleyways and terracotta-roofed townhouses are encircled by chunky Medieval walls.

Staying busy during the slow months can be a challenge in any business, and it takes a little creativity to keep business coming through the door. For some HVAC contractors, spring and fall present this challenge.
Promotions, sales and discounts: Now's the time of year to pull out all the stops and run your sales. Announce as far ahead of time as possible, keeping in regular contact with clients and prospects to remind them about special pricing.
HVAC system replacement or upgrades: Brainstorm the biggest reasons to upgrade or replace HVAC systems now. Remind clients whose heating system (or A/C) is getting older that it might not make it through the coming winter — and that they can save by buying and installing now. Federal tax credits that expire at the end of 2013 may help with the sales push.
Tap into green energy publicity and concerns: Many people are interested in saving the environment, but they just need a gentle push to remind them of the benefits of green energy like solar or getting a new, conventional but more-efficient system.
Maintenance agreements: Reactivate clients with a reminder that preventive maintenance saves them money in the long run. Inform new prospects how taking preventive care and cleaning of their HVAC system will ensure that their holidays aren't disturbed with heating problems.
Tout your duct cleaning and sealing services, if applicable: Talk about all the benefits (allergy relief, longer system life, etc.) and tie in with a free duct inspection during maintenance calls.
Provide expert energy-saving advice for the upcoming season: Being helpful keeps your relationship with customers on great footing. Fall is a great time for reminders about carbon monoxide detectors, insulation and sealing the home's envelope.
Keep in contact with customers so that "selling" all these services seems more natural — it's part of your overall customer relationship. Effective lead generation strategies involve contacting customers through a variety of means to make your message more interesting and dynamic. This also ensures that you'll hit on the means of communication that each customer or prospect is most responsive to.
Send a monthly newsletter with tips. Also direct clients to your blog in addition to other types of contact.
Vary your communication methods. Some prospects and existing repeat customers love social media, while others respond to targeted search engine advertising and many prefer email.
Include "real" mail. Often the best way to grab prospects' attention is through good old postal mail that's addressed to the customer personally so your message stands out from restaurant flyers and other mass mailings.
Use a turnkey lead generation system to make customer contact easy. An experienced HVAC marketing firm can efficiently handle your lead generation and customer retention communications.
Select a provider who offers customizable programs to reflect your business personality and reinforce your brand when communicating with clients. Don't go generic.
Make sure your mailers are professionally designed and brilliantly colorful.
Choose a provider who includes customer response cards to pull in those leads, making it easy for prospects to schedule services with you.
Contact Continuity Programs for professional marketing communications including our economical, turnkey HVAC Spring and Fall Lead Generating Program. We can help you clean up your database, segment it based on various factors, and recommend a marketing campaign based on a thorough database analysis performed by our experts.


When considering protein shakes, you may become confused immediately. That's because protein shakes are a hot item and the market is flooded with beige colored powders that are all "guaranteed" to help you build muscle and lose weight. So how do you make a decision on which kind to purchase? Well, first you need to decide if you need just a protein shake for lean muscle building, or you need to make a selection that also helps you achieve your weight loss goals as in protein shakes for weight loss. These typically will come in two varieties: Low carb protein shakes, such as ultramet champion nutrition, and low cal protein shakes such as many from the Slim Fast Family.
The major difference of course is what is in, and what is not in your shake. In the case of low cal shakes you are getting all the protein and fewer calories. This is ideal for diets that require calorie counting, and often these shakes can serve as meal replacements, so long as they meet some basic dietary requirements. Conversely, low carb protein shakes offer the protein without the carbs with less emphasis on caloric count. For followers of Atkins, these shakes are the way to go.
So which do you choose? Well, you choose the one that coincides with your current diet plan. If you are feasting away on low carb snacks like packets of tuna and beef jerky, then you will likely opt for the low carb protein shakes. Meanwhile, if you are trying to stay under a certain number of calories every day, you will likely elect instead the low calorie versions.
Really the difference lies in choosing the product that works with your current diet and exercise plan. It's worthwhile to note that the low carb protein shakes tend to be slightly more expensive than your readily available cans of Slimfast, but that's not to say that discounted items aren't available from both categories. Both types of products are equally well reviewed, because they're being used by people that are incorporating them into their already existing diet routine.
Let's remember, that losing weight is a multi step process. It starts with a good and rigorous exercise routine, is supplemented with vitamins and herbs for weight loss, and revolves around a healthy diet. The manner in which you choose to combine these essential elements is entirely up to you, but all should be discussed with your doctor or health care provider before proceeding.

October Book
'That Sarah,' you may well be saying to each other. 'Gallivanting off to Mexico, never a thought for her solemn promise to give away a book a month in 2009.'
But I always keep my promises, and here is my post about my October Book.
It is Liar by Justine Larbalestier.
Now, Liar is a hard book to talk about, because it is an important book not to spoil. I don't just mean it's important not to spoil the ending - spoiling the ending of any book is often considered a bad move. It's important not to spoil the middle of Liar. It's important not to spoil chapter two. It's important not to talk about which genre Liar is.
Unfortunately this leaves one waggling one's hands vaguely and going 'It is a BOOK. Very fine. Cover and pages and everything. The words in it - very well chosen and arranged. You should read it - it will be most enjoyable!'
Speaking of covers, there was controversy about the cover of Liar, as follows. I will not speak of it much, as really, it has all been said, and Liar is a book which deserves to be talked about independent of its cover, but it is a very good example of the way authors have almost no control over their covers - and how important it is to think about books, and marketing, and our society's attitude to issues like this.
Though I love the new cover of Liar and am hugely glad right prevailed, I wish to talk about the insides of the book and why those insides are so awesome.
I am always complaining about 'urban fantasy' because I love the idea of urban fantasy and it makes me despair when books do not have a real sense of place: I love books with really well-done settings, so I believe in whatever happens against a rich, realised backdrop. Micah, the heroine of Liar, is a city girl in the same way I am, loving both the good and bad sides of city life. New York City is in her blood, dirt and sunlight and subways and beauty. The reality of a summer in New York grounds this really twisty tale.
And talking of twisty tales - I am a big fan of mysteries. I have an eternal love for a good twist ending. I used to place bets on Agatha Christie books. I have read all the Wilkie Collins books I have been able to get my hands on because he created the modern detective novel, and love them all even though they are crazy (Acrobats with no legs, dudes with blue faces, evil twins whose hands drop off, the only way to solve this mystery is lots and lots of opium!). What Liar does is really fascinating: it has a whole new approach to the mystery novel.
Micah of Liar is well, as the title implies, a compulsive liar. Her point of view transforms the reader into the detective of the mystery novel, and makes Liar subtly into a Choose Your Own Adventure novel. The murder in Liar seems very real to me because the book underlines how horribly hard a detective's job must be: never to be quite sure how it all went down, listening to a lot of lies and a lot of half-truths and a lot of whole truths, with no idea which is which.
And then there is Micah herself. I think Micah is awesome. She is also really complicated and problematic and troubling, and I expect the author is getting a lot of flak for her. (I get a lot for my troubling, troubled and definitely-not-an-everyman protagonist, and Micah has it harder because she's a girl.) She's a girl with issues about that which I think a lot of girls can relate to, and she has issues about her race which are mixed in with her issues about her identity, and she's a liar in a way that I think a lot of kids who grew up telling stories can see a part of themselves in. And she's spikily defiant about who she is, letting us know more about herself than she means to. When we empathise with characters like that, we look into dark mirrors. It's not comfortable. But it is cool.
I am terrified to say more about Liar in case I spoil it. But - beautiful writing, a murder mystery, a difficult daring girl at the centre. What's not to love?
So speak up: who would like a copy of Liar?

A giant herd of 2,000 reindeer has forced Norway's National Road Authority to shut off a major road between Oslo and Bergen to prevent them being killed by passing cars.
The herd massed together on Hardangervidda, the mountain plateau in central Norway, and on Tuesday afternoon had moved within three kilometres of the country's Highway 7.
"This is probably the first time the road has been closed for such reasons," the NPRA's local section head Lars Øyre said in a press statement. "Several times, the animals have got close to the road, and we've been on the point of pressing the button to shut the road down, but they've always turned away in time.".
He said he could not predict when the road would reopen.
"It depends on the animals," he said.

The Israeli air strike on Gaza killed a key Salafist leader and a fellow activist. The two were members of the Mujahedeen Shura Council.
The Israeli air strike on Gaza Saturday night killed a key Salafist leader and another terrorist, the IDF said in a statement on Sunday morning.
The two were identified as Jordanian national Sheikh Hisham al-Saedini, 43, also known as Abu Al-Waleed Al-Maqdissi, of the Mujahןdeen Shura Council, and Fayek Abu Jazar, 42.
Hisham al-Saedini was one of the founders of the Mujahideen Shura Council, said the IDF, noting that this organization is affiliated with Global Jihad and was involved in extensive terrorist activity against Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers over the years. The organization promotes a radical concept based on the principles of jihad and Salafism.
The Shura Council organization, according to the IDF statement, is responsible for a series of terror attacks inside Israel, including an attack on January 27, 2009, in which a powerful bomb was detonated at an army patrol, killing one soldier.
Al-Saedini had been responsible for terrorist activity in Gaza. He had been previously been interrogated and imprisoned for a lengthy time period by Hamas, but was released in August of 2012, despite Hamas being aware of his involvement in terrorism.
The IDF noted that since his release from Hamas' prison, Al-Saedini had been planning a massive terror attack in cooperation with terrorists from Gaza and with Salafis based in the Sinai Peninsula.
The Mujahideen Shura Council had issued a statement earlier, saying it was behind a Grad missile attack on Netivot Friday night.
The rocket exploded in the yard of a residential building, causing one person to suffer from shock.


Faculty of Graduate Studies, York University. Photo by Christopher Douris.
I'm Melissa Dalgleish, Dalhousie English MA, Class of 2007. After graduating from Dal, I began my PhD at York University in 2008. Despite the assumption within my program, and across the university, that all doctoral candidates would be pursuing tenure-track jobs, I realized about midway through my degree that I really wasn't sure that I wanted to be a professor -- I wanted to stay in Toronto, where there were almost never jobs in my field, and I realized that there were many aspects of the professorial life that just didn't suit me.
In trying to figure out how to market myself as something other than an academic, I gathered as much information as I could get my hands on about graduate reform, career development for PhDs, professionalization, and transferable skills. In the process, I figured out that those issues-- which are fundamentally about the failure to best support graduate students during and after their degrees -- were what I was really passionate about. I then started looking for opportunities that would let me tackle the challenges facing graduate education, and graduate students, in real and meaningful ways.
I soon found a research assistantship in the Faculty of Graduate Studies at York; I was hired to research professional development programs and graduate reform initiatives being implemented at York, across Canada, and elsewhere in the world. It was a phenomenal opportunity -- I got to find out just what York was doing to address the reality of the academic job market and help its graduates negotiate a variety of post-degree pathways, and I got to make recommendations about what we should be doing to better serve graduate students that had a good chance of being implemented. What power! During this process, I also learned how to identify and talk about the valuable skills I had honed as a graduate student, skills that we all develop -- project management, research, analysis, synthesis, community engagement, teamwork, critical thinking, writing, public speaking, time management.
When a permanent job came open in the Faculty of Graduate Studies, one that would let me keep working on graduate professional development, and also represent the needs of graduate students at the administrative level, I jumped at it. I'm now a Research Officer, one of about a dozen at York, and I support graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in research-related activities. I manage all of the university's graduate scholarship and fellowship competitions, develop applications for major grants and awards, oversee graduate research that requires ethics approval or intellectual property agreements, and coordinate graduate research and professional development events and programs, including the Three Minute Thesis competition and our Graduate Professional Skills (GPS) program. I just launched GPS -- the same program I advocated for when I was working as a research assistant -- this past September.
This job is a perfect fit for me. I work with an extraordinarily awesome team (that's them in the goofy photo), I support outstanding graduate students, I have a voice, from the local level to the international, in how graduate education is being reshaped, and I live exactly where I want to. I'm grateful that the education I got at Dalhousie and at York put me in precisely the right position to figure out what I wanted to do and let me start doing it, and taught me to value, and fight for the value of, graduate education.

D'Tigers guard, Ikechukwu Nwamu, has set his sight on learning as much as possible from the experienced members of the squad as they prepare for the 2019 FIBA World Cup qualifiers starting on Friday.
The member of the 2017 Afrobasket silver medal winning side while speaking on arrival in camp on Sunday said he is ready to acquire more knowledge as possible.
Nwamu, who has not featured for the team since the Nations cup in Tunisia, said being part of the selected few alongside experienced hands likes Al-Farouq Aminu, Alade Aminu, Ike Diogu, Ben Uzoh and Stanley Okoye to represent Nigeria is a special feeling which any athlete will forever cherish.
The guard, who is glad to be back home, has ruled out any possibility of being under pressure due to fans' demands after his 2017 Afrobasket heroics.
He said despite the pedigree of their opponents on the African continent, proper preparation, home support and self believe will play a major role in winning their games when they file out against Cote d'Ivoire, Central Afrique and Senegal.
As a professional player who plays in Greece for Lavrio Megabolt, Nwamu said it will be extra special playing at home in front of very supportive Lagos fans.


🙂 these theories that prove and trash things like roller-coasters!
Yes. I've learned to be wary of what passes for science reporting in the media. Often, the science itself is poorly presented, and even misleadingly so by the news outlets which report it, and by journalists who clearly should not be assigned such work. If possible, I read the studies themselves, unless behind a paywall or such, to see just how far from the truth the reporting is. It's not easy, given that I'm a layman, but worth looking at to put the research findings into context.
exactly, that is why I always remember those words from an amazing song "I know its true, also true because I saw it on TV"- I almost always try to reassure these claims on sites that handle actual science or history or whatever I read!
just a few days back I was reading stuffs on indian history in net then I came to read about Portuguese monstrosities in India, a site claimed that Voltaire wrote a letter about it, and then I passed almost one hour to find out the original letter, every time I typed those words "Voltaire's letter about Portuguese invasion in India" it lead me to that one site! these people!
Hmmm. I might look for that, though I'm sure I would have to refine my search terms several times to get to the right source. I remember coming across something like that recently, but a quote from him rather than the full letter. I'll post a link to it on this thread when I find it.

    This example shows DatePicker abilities to parse input value depending on given server date format or predefined words.

    DatePicker uses the default date format provided from server to parse the input. The parsing starts when input looses its focus or user clicks
    "Enter" button.
    If the value cannot be parsed an error state class is added to the input.

    Other feature of the datepicker parsing is the ability to generate date depending on predified words. The available combinations are:

        "Today", which will be parsed as today's date.

        "Yesterday", which will be parsed as one day before today.

        "Tomorrow", which will be parsed as one day after today.

        Day of the week : The parsed date will corresponds to the typed day of the week.

        Month of the year: The parsed date will corresponds to the typed month of the year. Tha day of the month will be today's one.

        "Next" or "Last" words can be used in combination with the aforementioned ones as well as with the "day", "week", "month" and "year".

    If you need to localize the predefined words you should provide own $.telerik.cultureInfo object, which contains
    localized definitions for "today", "tomorrow" and etc.

The Spark Nano 3.0 is one of the most popular GPS tracking devices on the market. It's used by individuals for a variety of purposes as well as companies wanting to track fleet vehicles. Some companies are small businesses with just one or two cars, while others are large companies with an entire fleet of trucks and sales vehicles.
GPS tracking can be an important tool for managing company fleets in that it helps improve efficiency, lower vehicle costs, and deal with employees who might be using company vehicles inappropriately. At the same time, monitoring fleets this way does raise some concerns that have not yet been addressed in a court of law.
Critics of GPS vehicle tracking claim that utilizing devices like the Spark Nano are a violation of worker privacy. They believe workers should be trusted unless they give sufficient reason otherwise. Proponents of GPS tracking claim that it's no different than a shop manager observing workers on the floor. The manager who does his job correctly is constantly monitoring what employees are doing, how hard they're working, and how they are using company equipment.
Because of GPS tracking enters a whole new realm of law that hasn't been adequately addressed, it's best for companies to be open with their employees about GPS tracking unless stealth surveillance is needed for very specific purpose. In other words, when you first install the tracking system inform all of your workers who use company vehicles of your plans. For new workers, inform them during the interview process that your vehicles are tracked. If that bothers the candidate, that's the perfect time to decline a job offer.
There's an added benefit of informing your drivers about the presence of the Spark Nano or other tracking device. That benefit comes by way of an incentive for each worker to be responsible. If the point of tracking is to prevent excessive speed, reckless driving, or wasting time, there doesn't even need to be one instance if a worker is informed ahead of time his behavior is being monitored. Stealth surveillance may provide you the evidence to confront an employee acting improperly, but it does nothing to change the fact that inappropriate behavior was engaged in.
Certainly there are times when stealth surveillance is necessary. For example, if you suspect your company vehicles are being used in the commission of a crime, it's more desirable to have evidence needed for arrest and conviction rather than simply trying to persuade the worker to cease and desist. Similarly you may require a certain amount of evidence in order to terminate the employee who is violating company policy. In either case you might need to use a tracking device without informing workers.
The point of all of this is that GPS vehicle tracking is still fairly new in the US marketplace. If you're planning to utilize it, ward off any potential future litigation by being upfront whenever possible.

Q: Adding a notification observer in swift There are other stackoverflow questions concerning this, but my the solutions mentioned do not appear to apply to this problem. I have a NSTextField and I want to be notified everytime the text changes in the field. I have a NSViewController controlling the view that contains the NSTextField and it will be the observer.
My class simply looks like this:
import Cocoa

class ADDViewController: NSViewController
{
    @IBOutlet weak var fieldText:   NSTextField!

    func fieldTextChanged( notification: NSNotification )
    {
        println( "fieldTextChanged" )
    }

    override var nibName: String?
    {
        return "ADDViewController"
    }

    override func viewDidLoad()
    {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver( self, selector: "fieldTextChanged:" as Selector, name: NSControlTextDidChangeNotification, object: fieldText )
    }
}

The notification is being added and is firing. When I type a character into the field, I see in the stack trace:
#0  0x00007fff905880e9 in objc_msgSend ()
#1  0x00007fff8f27c45c in __CFNOTIFICATIONCENTER_IS_CALLING_OUT_TO_AN_OBSERVER__ ()
#2  0x00007fff8f16c634 in _CFXNotificationPost ()
#3  0x00007fff8fcf0aa1 in -[NSNotificationCenter postNotificationName:object:userInfo:] ()
#4  0x00007fff8f27c45c in __CFNOTIFICATIONCENTER_IS_CALLING_OUT_TO_AN_OBSERVER__ ()
#5  0x00007fff8f16c634 in _CFXNotificationPost ()
#6  0x00007fff8fcf0aa1 in -[NSNotificationCenter postNotificationName:object:userInfo:] ()
#7  0x00007fff8ab3deb1 in -[NSTextView(NSSharing) didChangeText] ()

right before it crashes. I did try changing the selector to:
@objc func fieldTextChanged( notification: NSNotification )
{
    println( "fieldTextChanged" )
}

but, when I do this, it still doesn't work. What I see in the console:
2015-08-23 18:36:32.240 addobserver_test[52788:3477511] -[__NSCFString fieldTextChanged:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x6000000c3720

The first question is, do I need the @objc in front of my selector? I do not believe this should be necessary as a NSViewController is a subclass of a NSObject and that appears to make @objc unnecessary. Is this correct?
What do I need to do to make this work?
I have a sample test project at:

Thank you.

A: In your applicationDidFinishLaunching, you are not keeping a reference to the view controller, so the object is released immediately. Then a notification is being sent to another object which took its place in memory (a __NSCFString in this case).
You need to store a strong reference to your view controller, e.g. as an instance variable.

Season Review: Football records most wins since 1988 season
Hiram College football defeated Oberlin College 35-13 on Nov. 15, clinching the winningest season since 1988.
The 2014 Hiram College football team put together one of the programs most successful seasons in recent memory.
Under fifth year head coach Randy Moore, the Terriers went 5-5 overall and 4-5 in the NCAC. The five wins were the most for the program since the 1988 season.
The season appeared to get off to a rough start as Hiram tailed 27-3 midway through the third quarter in its season opener at Westminster (Pa.). But the Terriers stormed back, scoring 27 unanswered points to get the win. Senior Robert Partridge(Massillon/Washington) found junior Britton Lewis (Tampa, Fla./Paul R. Wharton) for a 14-yard touchdown pass with 19 seconds left.
The Terriers followed up the dramatic win with a 37-26 home victory over Denison in its home and NCAC opener. The Hiram defense forced eight turnovers and Partridge and Lewis hooked up for a 84-yard completion, which is the longest in school history.
Hiram would fall in its next three contests, but rebounded with a dominating 31-8 win over Kenyon. The Terriers followed the victory up with a road victory at Ohio Wesleyan 35-28. Freshman Brendon Carr (Wellsville/Wellsville Local) scored the game-winning touchdown with 1:49 left and senior Mario Lemuel (Suwanee, Ga./Peachtree Ridge) batted down a pass on to clinch the win.
Hiram would close the season with a 35-13 home win over Oberlin on Senior Day. Senior James Romanowski (Chagrin Falls/Kenston) had a 15-yard interception return for a touchdown to lead the Terriers to the win.
In all, Hiram saw five members earn All-NCAC honors. Sophomore Zayd Mabin (Winter Haven, Fla.) and Lemuel earned Second Team All-NCAC accolades, while senior Kyle Bates(Painesville/Thomas W. Harvey), Partridge and Romanowski were named Honorable Mention All-NCAC.
Mabin led the team with three fumble recoveries and was second in tackles for loss (10.5) and forced fumbles (two).
Lemuel led the team with six sacks and 13.5 tackles for loss. In the Terriers win over Denison, he finished with three sacks, two interceptions and a forced fumble.
Bates earned his second straight All-NCAC honor. He started all 10 games on the offensive line.
Partridge threw for 2,167 yards and also accumulated 2,317 yards of total offense, which are both new school records. In addition, he threw for 14 touchdowns and added three more rushing.
Romanowski finished the season with 90 tackles, which was a team-high. In addition, he also recorded two interceptions and 2.5 tackles for loss.
With a strong season behind them, Hiram will look to build off of the momentum from the 2014 season.

About Edward Akin
A Patriot of the American Revolution for NEW YORK. DAR Ancestor #: A082357
Edward5 Akin (James4, David3, John2, David1) was born 13 December 1750 in Quaker Hill, Dutchess Co., NY, and died 16 March 1813 in Port Byran, Cayuga Co., NY. He married Elizabeth Russell in 1773, or thereabouts, daughter of William Russell and Elisabeth Smith. She was born 23 December 1752 in Quaker Hill, Dutchess Co., NY,1 and died in 1828 in Johnstown, Fulton Co., NY.
As birthright Quakers, the births of Edward and Elizabeth were recorded in the Oblong Meeting Records of Quaker Hill. Converting Quaker dates to our calendar is confusing and risky, as their year began on March 1st, not January 1st. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that Edward and Elizabeth were born in October, when they were born in December. The same problem and more is involved with their marriage date. Edward was disowned on the 18th day, 3rd month, 1773, by the Oblong Men's Monthly Meeting for marrying out of meeting. This disciplinary action occurred at the regular meeting, not a special meeting, perhaps a month or two (or more) after they married. There is a problem with the usual date given for Elizabeth's death -- will was proved on 25 November 1828, three days earlier than the date on her headstone and in the Wells Bible. This suggests that she died at least, a week or two earlier.
"... descendants, mostly Quakers, of the original settlers of Dutchess County "came north along the Hudson's east bank and to the Hoosick to settle the Cambridge and Schaghticoke Districts of Albany County. Old Dutchess was still disputed territory, claimed both by New York State and the New Hampshire Grants because of the indefinite boundary set by the Duke of York in 1664 when the English took over from the Dutch. It allowed the Hampshire Grants to claim to the Hudson's east bank while the "York Staters" claimed to the west bank of the Connecticut River. As late as 1764, the British government confirmed the claim of "The Grants" and, in 1750-64, Governor Benning Wentworth under a New Hampshire charter of 1741, had surveyed to a line twenty miles east of the Hudson and was selling land for ten cents an acre while the New York Government was warning that "The Grants" ended at the east bank of the Connecticut. This survey continued the controversy over "The Twenty Mile Strip" as a problem in the Easton area where the Vermont-New York State border was not agreed upon and drawn until 1812." Jane Betsy Welling, They Were Here Too (Greenwich, NY: Washington Co. Historical Soc., 1965). Emphasis added.
The village of White Creek in Washington County and the village of Walloomsac in Rensselaer County are approximately 3.8 miles apart. The route between the villages crosses the Bennington Battle Field.
"In 1773 a petite, attractive brunette named Elizabeth Russell of Quaker parentage, aged twenty-one, and one Edward Akin, also Quaker born, twenty-three, married 'out of meeting' because Elizabeth Russell's parents objected to her going off into the wilderness. The young Akins, however, were not daunted and traveled north along the Connecticut line to a little hamlet called White Creek in Washington County, near Bennington, Vermont, where they made their home for thirty years. They were in the midst of the finest sheep raising section. In this branch of farming and in the making of scythes Edward Akin became a rich man." Mrs. Bethune M. Grant et al., Some Pioneer Women of Johnstown (Johnstown, New York: Johnstown Chapter NSDAR, 1937), 12.
In 1774 and again in 1780, Edward Akin served as "Collector" for the Cambridge District of Albany County (now Washington County) as evidenced by his name on the "List of Principal Town Officers."6 Edward built the first frame house in White Creek and a grist mill. He leased part of his land at the base of Quaker Hill7 for a Friends Meeting House which was completed in 1784 and 1785; the rent being one peppercorn per year. Supplemental Application papers of Ellen Maring (Stephens) Benedict (no. 681340) on Edward Akin (1750-1813, New York, for public service), NSDAR, Washington, DC, Office of the Registrar General.
Tradition says that Edward was captured by the British at the time of the Battle of Bennington, and held overnight in the little Walloomsack Stone Church (now Rensselaer County) and then released through the efforts of his wife. Another story, if true, partially explains why Edward Akin was not a practicing Quaker even though he supported their cause by providing land for their meeting house. History of Washington Co., New York, 1737-1878 (Philadelphia: Everts and Ensign, 1878) 256, 457, 460, 46.
"By 1770 there were enough settlers in White Creek of Quaker persuasion to warrant the formation of a Friends' Meeting known as the White Creek preparative Meeting. These early meetings were at Isaac Wood's home with his brother John as the meeting clerk. In 1784-5 the meeting house was completed on land leased to the Friends by Edward Aiken at the foot of Quaker Hill. The rent was to be one peppercorn per year. By 1804 the meeting-house proved to be too small, so rapidly had the Quaker community increased in number. In that year, the structure was remodeled or rebuilt but still with those simple lines in accordance with custom. It was a two story building twenty five by twenty eight feet and stood on the site of the earlier meeting house...." (from "Our Yesteryears - A narrative History of the Town of White Creek, Washington County, NY, 1959, by Paul Jones, online <ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ny/washington/cemeteries/quaker.txt> printout 1 October 2001.
"John Allen, the pioneer to the White Creek area and Mary Cornell were parents of "John the Hatter" called that because his trade was making beaver hats and because he ran a flourishing Hat Shop in White Creek Village ... Edward Akin, a man of violent temper almost killed ... John Allen, the Hatter, when he struck him such a blow on the head with his gold topped cane that it split John Allen's silk beaver hat and made a deep gash in his head from which blood spurted enough to 'blind him temporarily. John Allen was a devote Quaker and, of course, allowed himself no such outbursts of temper." Jane Betsy Welling, They Were Here Too, 3: 317.
Cambridge was organized as a township in Albany County on 7 March 1788, and annexed to Washington County on 7 February 1791. Although Edward Akin did not move, he was enumerated in Albany County in 1790, and Washington County in 1800. 1790 U.S. Census, New York, Albany Co., Cambridge Twp., p. 21: Edward Akin: 5 males under 16 yrs.,7 females; 3 males 16 & above. (Erroneously listed as "Atkins" in the Heads of Families - New York, First Census of the United States, 21). 1800 U.S. Census, New York, Washington Co.. Cambridge Twp., p. 353: Edward Akin: males: one 45 yrs & above, three 16-26, one 10 & under; females: one 45 & above, two 16-26, two 10-16, one 10 & under, and one slave.
According to a petition to the Washington County, New York, Court of Common Pleas (dated 29 December 1791), 12 "owners and proprietors" asked permission to partition land in the Walloomsack Patent (Lands originally granted to Edward Collins and others on 15 June 1739). "June 15, 1739, Wallomsack patent containing 12,000 acres, was granted to Edward Collins, James DeLancey, Gerardus Stuyvesant, Stephens Van Rensselaer, Charles Williams and Frederick Morris. Lies in the town of Hoosic and White Creek and partly in Vermont" ("Dates and Names of Sundry Patents in Washington County, New York," Asa Fitch Papers, 2 (2) Electronic under GenWeb New York Washington Co., New York.
The surveyor's report showed Edward Akin as the owner of 20 acres in "Lott 3", adjoining Ebenezer Allen's 106 acres in "Lott 4."13 In 1795 or thereabouts, Edward's son, Ira married Anna Allen who was the daughter of this Ebenezer Allen. Both families lived about 1/2 mile from the village of White Creek. Years later (22 January 1820), Ebenezer Allen of White Creek placed the following advertisment in a newspaper (now unknown):
"For Sale - A Good Farm, Containing one hundred and twenty acres of Land, right of soil and clear of encumbrances, lying in the town of White Creek near the Friends' meeting house. It is provided with good buildings, is well wooded and watered, and contains an excellent orchard. Any person wishing to purchase can call on the Subscriber on the premises, where he has lived over fifty years, and who will give a good title and possession immediately." Petition to the Court of Common Pleas (29 Dec. 1791) in Washington Co., NY (Hudson Falls) Deed Bk A: 249-254 (FHL film 0,553,411).
On 9 November 1822, Ebenezer Allen drew up his will. He bequeathed his household goods to six daughters: Silvia Mosher, wife of David Mosher; the heirs of Betsy Lacy deceased; Polly Dake, wife of Shadrach Dake; Rachel Coy, wife of Daniel Coy; the heirs of Sybel Coy deceased; and Anna Akin, wife of Ira Akin. To Lucy Allen granddaughter, and daughter of Hugh Allen, one cow and household goods. All remaining property, real and personal, was left to son Hugh Allen, also named executor, along with Samuel Brown and William Richards. Jonathan Hunt, Sylvanus Taber, and Jonathan Hunt, Junior, were witnesses. Ebenezer Allen is buried in Rose Wood Cemetery in White Creek, beside wife Sybil...15 According to the headstone inscriptions: Major Ebenezer Allen died 5 September 1823, in his 89th year, and Mrs. Sybil Dwinnell, his wife, died 11 November 1821.

Johnson Hall is now a State Historic Site
Johnstown, Montgomery (Fulton) County, New York
Home of the Akin-Wells Family, 1803-1906.
Victorian features were added to Johnson Hall by the Wells family: the large cupola, slate roof, four dormers, bay windows, porch, and two story addition to the northeast were later removed when the building was restored to its colonial facade by the State of New York .
Johnson Hall might have been like this in 1803 when Edward Akin purchased the 700 acre Johnson Hill Farm. The 60 foot long by 40 feet wide, two-story wooden structure is painted to resemble stone. On both floors, the large rooms open into a 15-foot wide hall running the width of the building. The rooms are now furnished according to Johnson's household inventory and recent archeological finds. A colonial kitchen is in the basement.
In 1803, Edward Akin moved his extended family west to the mansion built in 1763 by Sir William Johnson, Superintendent of Indian Affairs for the northern colonies. When Sir William died in 1774, his title and most of his estate passed to his son Sir John Johnson who remained loyal to the British in the Revolution. The property was confiscated under the act of attainder passed by the Legislature in 1779. From 1776 to 1785, "squatters" lived in the Hall, and then it was sold with 700 acres of land to James Caldwell of Albany. From 1786 until 1803, it changed hands seven times before Edward Akin purchased it.18 In 1810, Edward Akin and his son Ethan were enumerated in adjacent households: Washington Co., New York, Surrogate Court, Wills 5: 136.
Edward died 16 March 1813 at Port Bryon, Mentz Twp., Cayuga County, in the Finger Lakes Region of New York, where his son David was starting a sheep farm. Six weeks or so before, Edward drove a beautiful team of black horses the 140 miles between Johnstown and Port Bryon to visit and help build some mills. He became seriously ill and died. Enos Thompson Throop, David's brother-in-law, and later Governor of New York (1829-1833), brought the body back to Johnstown.20
On 22 March 1813, an Administrate Bond for the estate of Edward Akin, deceased, was issued to his sons Ira Akin of Mayfield in Montgomery Co., Ethan Akin of Broadalbin in Montgomery Co., and David Akin of Mentz in Cayuga Co., with Nicholas Veghte, James Russell and Abraham Akin, of Johnstown, also signing the bond. On 5 April 1813, James Akin and Abraham Akin, sons and heirs, made the inventory; a supplemental list of a few additional goods discovered since the preceding inventory, was made on 8 July 1813 by Phoebe Akin, Abraham Akin, and Ira Akin. On 17 August 1813, Ira Akin filed the Inventory with the Surrogate Court.21 The Account of the Administration of the Estate was filed 20 March 1815, by Ira Akin and Ethan Akin, who reported payment on 11 September 1813, to Mrs. Akin, widow, Phoebe Akin, Sally Akin, David Akin, Abraham Akin, Ethan Akin, James Akin, Ira Akin, Abraham Snyder, and Eleasar Wells. The four slaves were sold for a total of $450 when the estate was settled.22
Photo of the headstone at the Johnstown Cemetery by Ellen Benedict, October 1991. Edward and Elizabeth Akin were originally buried in the family plot where the Phillip Argersinger farm later stood. Years after, when the burying ground was nearly forgotten and the farm no longer owned by the Argersinger family, Sarah (Akin) Wells had her parents' bodies moved to the Wells plot in the Johnstown Cemetery.23
On 25 June 1825, Abraham and Asenath Akin, his wife, conveyed to his mother "that part of the Hall farm with Johnson Hall which had been set off as the share of Ethan Akin in the partition of Edward Akin's property (20 acres) plus the land between this parcel and the State Highway (perhaps another 16 acres).24 Three years later (27 August 1828), Elizabeth Akin deeded the property with the Hall to James Akin, on the day she made her will (probated 25 November 1828).25 After Elizabeth's death, James sold the property for $2,000 to his brother-in-law and sister Eleazer and Amy (Akin) Wells.26 Johnson Hall was occupied by Akin-Wells descendants until it was sold in 1906 to the People of the State of New York.
For many years while Johnson Hall was operated under the direction of the Johnstown Historical Society, one of the bedrooms was dedicated to Elizabeth (Russell) Akin. At that time, the room was furnished with a washstand and bowl, several chairs and pictures, and a high poster bed with with steps to use to climb up onto the bed, and a trundle bed underneath. By the time, I visited Johnson Hall in 1991, all traces of the Akin-Wells family had been erased. I had read about the room, and wondered where the furniture had gone. Richard Mackel, then, caretaker of the Johnstown Historical Society, told that the artifacts from the Akin Room were located in the Jimmy Burke Colonial Tavern/Inn which belongs to the Johnstown Chapter of the NSDAR. There I saw the high poster bed, steps, and Edward's hat. (Ellen Maring Benedict)
Notes on the Akin Family
This was the most numerous and important house in this vicinity and although the name has almost entirely passed away the leueage is trained in a large part of the present community. Edward Akin was bred in Dutchess County, but subsequently removed to Cambridge, Washington County, where he commenced the manufacture of scythes with much success. The business was new, and, as competition was light, good profits were made, and the result was that he gradually became a man of capital.
At the time he learned that the "Hall Farm" was for sale, and his attention was attracted to the noted spot. The farm was then in possession of a New York merchant named Murray, who as proprietor had succeeded Morehouse. The time to which reference is made was about 1800. Land was then cheap and money was scare, but Edward Akin was able to pay $18,000 in specie for the Hall and its estate which then included 740 acres. He became a successful farmer and reared a family of eleven children.
One of these died before him, leaving also eleven children. The Akin family at this time were numbered as follows: six daughters -- Armeda, Phebe, Rhoda, Amy, Sally and Patience -- and five sons -- Ira, James, Ethan, David and Abram.
Edward Akin lived to be sixty. He was an enterprising man and built flour mills in the western part of the state, which the was as distant as Iowa is a present -- that is relatively speaking. He died while thus absent, and his remains were brought down by a team and buried with suitable honors in the old cemetery. This was in 1813, and there are very few now living who can remember the funeral. After the new cemetery was laid out the remains were conveyed to the family plat where they still repose.
After his father's death, Abram Akin retained the Hall farm for many years, but subsequently sold it to Eleazer Wells, who married his sister, Amy Akin. Sarah (or Sally, as she was familiarly called,) married Nathan P Wells, Patience married the late William I Dodge. The two last mentioned still survive, though now advanced in years, Ethan Akin of the "old stone fort," who formerly was in merchandise at Johnstown is a son of David Akin who passed his last days in Port Byron.
The descendants of Edward Akin were noted for clear common sense, habitual industry and prudence, and that general respectability of life which constitutes good citizenship. For sixty years the name has been identified with the social history of Johnstown, and hence is worthy a brief public record. We need hardly add that mr John E Wells the present occupant of the Hall is a grandson of Edward Akin, and the farm reduced though it be by family division is now much more valuable then the entire estate at the time of the original purchase.

HomeKenyaKenyan international heads to Japan
Kenyan international heads to Japan
Mark Henderson August 12, 2018
This week it was announced that Michael Olunga Ogada the Kenyan international was on his way to Japan to join Kashiwa Reysol.
The 24-year-old striker joins from CSL side Guizhou Zhicheng although he spent last season on loan with La Liga side Girona. He is also the first Girona player to score a hat-trick for the side in La Liga (pictured above).
Another fun fact I found out about the J League's new striker was that he once sat an exam instead of going to meet with the former Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
Back to football, this looks like a great signing for Kashiwa Reysol and one that should excite fans of the J League. As seen in the video below you will notice for a player of 6 ft 3in he has decent skills with the ball at his feet.
While his height is of course an advantage and it will be interesting to see how defenders deal with Kashiwa Reysol crosses into the box with Olunga up top. If you want to look out for him also the striker will wear the number 26 shirt for his new side.
