Trout fishing in October is accompanied by an intense bite, greedy with shots of fish in any offered bait, and the bites of captured individuals. It was at this time the predator starts to spawn, migrating to the former Parking areas, and swim the largest members of the species. To successfully fish in October and get a special pleasure from fishing, you should pay attention to several important points and details of the upcoming fishing.
Trout fishing in October can be a variety of methods and tackle. But experienced anglers say that there is nothing better for spinning or fly fishing.
Autumn fishing is often accompanied by heavy rains, which negatively affects the activity of the trout. In October, this fish tries to hold on shallow-water, but prolonged rainy weather, she goes back into the depths.
Being an aggressive predator, trout pounced on as live bait and artificial products. To attract her and get her to bite, it is better to use the first option. Besides, it ensures maximum casting distance snap. Also experienced anglers recommend to bind to the undergrowth of two or three flies that will increase the chances of a good bite.
During the examination of a wide water area with pure shores, you can use and artificial imitation flies. When choosing a suitable option, it is important to consider current weather conditions, because if the weather is good, the fish are interested in a dry fly in rainy and windy, she'll need to wet the product.
It is no secret that in the summer fish aktiviziruyutsya only morning and evening because the daily heat forces her to hide in the shadows. In autumn, the situation has changed, and the most promising time for going fishing become lunch hours. Looking for trout in the shallow areas with a rocky bottom and a depth of 1 meter. It also can be driven near Svalov, in deep pits, which are run-of-river bends under steep banks. After the start of heavy rains and rise of water level, fish can be found in relative shallow waters and in areas without current, because sometimes the predator comes back to relax from dealing with fast water. When examining prospective areas, you must track the route of the trout.
If you never had a chance to catch trout with spinning, it is better to pay a visit to the pond to get basic skills and learn how to fish such a strong fish. The fact that artificial water bodies the concentration of such fish is very high, and catching it is not necessary to spend a lot of energy or to exercise special skill. Even a beginner without too much difficulty caught here a couple of large individuals.
If you wish to explore deep-sea areas, fly method is ineffective. In this case, it is more appropriate to use bottom fishing, as bait to make use of the Nightcrawlers. But in October this bait is difficult to find, therefore, allowed the application of manure worm impaled on the hook a small beam.
Bait should be delivered to the pit so she went to the bottom, where it will be able to swallow a trout. From heavy sinkers should be abandoned – its weight should not exceed 10 grams.
If fishing happens on the fly, it is important to observe care, because the bites are too sharp and aggressive. Cutting should be fast, otherwise the fish just gets off the hook.
In any case, trout fishing in October is a very exciting activity that requires special training and attention. But your effort is always justified by the excellent bite and good mood.

Q: Selenium WebDriver: Unable to locate dynamically changing React InputBase component element I tried to locate an element with id.
The Developer tools shows this:
<input aria-invalid="false" autocomplete="off" placeholder="Partner name" type="text" class="MuiInputBase-input MuiInput-input MuiAutocomplete-input MuiAutocomplete-inputFocused MuiInputBase-inputAdornedEnd" aria-autocomplete="list" autocapitalize="none" spellcheck="false" value="" id="mui-85700">

The id always changing every time I reload the page.
I think I find a solution to locate the element:
findElement(By.xpath("//*[contains(@id,'mui')]")).click();

But now I get the following error:
(org.openqa.selenium.ElementClickInterceptedException: Element
 is not clickable at point (1124,747) because another element
 obscures it

How can I solve it?
Side note:
In developer tool I see 4 web elements which contains "mui" String.
On the page I only see 2 web elements: one with <input id="mui85700"...> and another one is
As before I said I need the input id field.

A: The <input> element is a React InputBase component and a dynamic element and the trailing dynamic value of the id attribute will will get changed everytime you access the application afresh. So you have to construct a dynamic locator strategy.

Solution
To click on the <input> element you need to induce WebDriverWait for the elementToBeClickable() and you can use either of the following locator strategies:

*

*cssSelector:
new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("input.MuiInputBase-input.MuiInput-input.MuiAutocomplete-input.MuiAutocomplete-inputFocused.MuiInputBase-inputAdornedEnd[id^='mui'][placeholder='Partner name']"))).click();

*xpath:
new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//input[@class='MuiInputBase-input MuiInput-input MuiAutocomplete-input MuiAutocomplete-inputFocused MuiInputBase-inputAdornedEnd' and starts-with(@id, 'mui')][@placeholder='Partner name']"))).click();

A: You may use findElements and get all the elements form web page
Use a loop and check if the element is visible or element is clickable. This is solve your issue.

A: you can use like this,
List<WebElement> products = driver.findElements(By.xpath("xpath"));

            for (int i=0; i<products.size(); i++){

                String name = products.get(i).getText();

                    System.out.println(name);

                if(name.containsAll('text')) {

                    driver.findElements(By.xpath("xpath")).get(i).click();
    }
        }

Медови́чка червоноголова (Myzomela erythrocephala) — вид горобцеподібних птахів родини медолюбових (Meliphagidae). Мешкає в Індонезії, Папуа Новій Гвінеї і Австралії.

Опис
Довжина птаха становить 12 см, розмах крил 17–19 см, вага 8 г. Виду притаманний статевий диморфізм: самці більші і яскравіші за самиць. У дорослих самців номінативного підвиду голова яскраво-червона, блискуча. Верхня частина тіла бура, нижня частина тіла світло-коричнево-сіра. Від дзьоба до очей ідуть чорні смуги, навколо очей чорні кільця. Очі темно-карі, дзьоб чорний. У самиць голова і шия сірувато-коричневі, деякі пера на лобі і підборідді рожевувато-червоні. Решта тіла сірувато-коричнева, крила темніші, груди і нижня частина тіла світліші. Молоді птахи подібні до самиць, края дзьоба у них жовті. У місячному віці у пташенят на обличчі з'являються червоні пера. Самці починають набувати доросле забарвлення у віці 3 місяців. і повністю набувають його ще через 3 місяці. Представники підвиду M. e. infuscata вирізняються більшими розмірами, червоною смугою на нижній частині спини, живіт у них темно-сірий.

Підвиди
Виділяють два підвиди:
 M. e. erythrocephala Gould, 1840 — північна Австралія і сусідні острови;
 M. e. infuscata Forbes, WA, 1879 — південь Нової Гвінеї, острови Ару і острови Торресової протоки.

Поширення і екологія
Червоноголові медовички живуть переважно в мангрових лісах, а також в тропічних лісах, на болотах, в чагарникових заростях, на плантаціях і в парках. Віддають перевагу манграм Rhizophora stylosa, Bruguiera parviflora, Avicennia marina і Ceriops australis, а також заростям мелалеуки плакучої. Вони живляться нектаром і комахами, яких ловлять в польоті. В північно-західній Австралії червоноголові медовички є основними запилювачами мангрів Bruguiera exaristata.

Червоноголові медовички зустрічаються поодинці або парами. Іноді вони приєднуються до змішаних зграй птахів, разом з бурими медовцями, північними віялохвістками і мангровими окулярниками. Під час сезону посухи демонструють територіальну поведінку. Гнізда невеликі, чашоподібні, розміщується в мангрових заростях на висоті 6-10 м над землею або водою. Вони будуються з кори, листя, рослинних волокон, іноді водоростей і скріплюються павутинням. Діаметр гнізда становить 5,4 см. глибина 3,7 см. Яйця гладенькі, білі, на тупому кінці поцятковані червоними плямками. Вони мають розміри 16×12 мм. В кладці 2-3 яйця, насиджують їх лише самиці.

Збереження
МСОП класифікує цей вид як такий, що не потребує особливих заходів зі збереження. Однак в Австралії стан збереження підвиду M. e. infuscata класифікується як такий, що перебуває під загрозою зникнення, оскільки він обмежений трьома невеликими островами в Торресовій протоці загальною площею 100 км².

Q: what is difference between hadoop and spark As spark is growing in market nowadays I can see the Spark's major use cases over Hadoop like:

*

*Iterative Algorithms in Machine Learning

*Interactive Data Mining and Data Processing

*Spark is a fully Apache Hive-compatible data warehousing system that
can run 100x faster than Hive.

*Stream processing: Log processing and Fraud detection in live streams
for alerts, aggregates and analysis

*Sensor data processing: Where data is fetched and joined from
multiple sources, in-memory dataset really helpful as they are easy
and fast to process.

My question is:

*

*Is spark going to replace Hadoop in upcoming days?

*Hadoop work concurrently while spark runs in parallel?(is it true?)

A: Spark differ from hadoop in the sense that let you integrate data ingestion, proccessing and real time analytics in one tool. Moreover spark map reduce framework differ from standard hadoop map reduce because in spark intermediate map reduce result are cached, and RDD(abstarction for a distributed collection that ii fault tollerant) can be saved in memory if there is the need to reuse the same results (iterative alghoritms, group by , etc etc).
My answer is really superficial and  does not not answer your question completly but just point out some of the main difference (much more in reality)
Spark and databricks  official site is really well documented and your question is already answered there :
https://databricks.com/spark/about
http://spark.apache.org/faq.html

A: Hadoop today is a collection of technologies but in its essence it is a distributed file-system (HDFS) and a distributed resource manager (YARN). Spark is a distributed computational framework that is poised to replace Map/Reduce - another distributed computational framework that

*

*used to be synonymous with Hadoop

*ships with Hadoop out-of-the-box for backward compatibility (before YARN map/reduce support framework was Hadoop's resource management framework)

Specifically - Spark is not going to replace Hadoop but would probably replace map/reduce and Hadoop, map/reduce and spark are all distributed systems (and run in parallel)

The fraudulent conversion of another's property by a person who is in a position of trust, such as an agent or employee.
Embezzlement is distinguished from swindling in that swindling involves wrongfully obtaining property by a false pretense, such as a lie or trick, at the time the property is transferred, which induces the victim to transfer to the wrongdoer title to the property.
There was no crime of embezzlement under the Common Law. It is a statutory crime that evolved from Larceny. Whereas larceny requires a felonious trespassory taking of property at the outset, embezzlement is a wrongful appropriation subsequent to an originally lawful taking. Embezzlement is, therefore, a modification of larceny designed to cover certain fraudulent acts that do not come within its scope. Although they are mutually exclusive crimes, larceny and embezzlement do overlap slightly under statutes in some states.
Embezzlement was created by the English legislature, which designated specific persons who might be liable for the offense. These were essentially persons entrusted with another's property, such as agents, attorneys, bankers, and corporate officers.
The English definition of the offense is followed in the United States. Statutes do not usually list the persons who might be liable but, instead, generally describe the offender as a person entrusted with, or in possession of, another's property.
The type of property that must be converted is governed by statute. Generally, property is defined as including money, goods, chattels, or anything of value. Intangible Personal Property; Commercial Paper, such as checks, promissory notes, bonds, or stocks; and written documents, such as deeds or contracts, may also be the subject of embezzlement.
Under some statutes, property consists of anything that can be the subject of larceny. In other states, however, the property requirement for embezzlement is broader. For example, the statute might punish the conversion of both real and personal property.
In some states, the embezzlement of public property or public funds is a separate offense. The offense is characterized by the manner in which the money is received. A court clerk who receives bail money is a recipient of public money and the person can be liable if such money is wrongfully converted by him or her.
The property subject to embezzlement must have some value, even though value is not an element of the offense. Although a check without a required endorsement does not have value, the fact that the endorsement can be forged gives it sufficient value to make it a subject of embezzlement.
Statutes governing the offense vary widely throughout the states. To determine exactly what elements comprise the offense, it is necessary to examine the particular statute applicable.
Elements common to embezzlement are as follows: (1) the property must belong to a person other than the accused, such as an employer or principal; (2) the property must be converted subsequent to the defendant's original and lawful possession of it; (3) the defendant must be in a position of trust, so that the property is held by him or her pursuant to some fiduciary duty; and (4) the defendant must have an intent to defraud the owner at the time of the conversion.Ownership The principal or employer must be the owner of the property embezzled by an agent or employee at the time the offense is committed. Under many statutes, the ownership requirement is expressed as the property of another. It is sufficient if any person, other than the defendant, owns the property and it does not matter who has title to it or that it is owned by more than one person.
Jurisdictions differ on the question of whether a person can embezzle funds belonging to a spouse. In states that retain the spousal privilege, a person can be prevented from testifying to a crime against a spouse; therefore, spousal embezzlement will not be prosecuted.
Unless a statute provides otherwise, coowners of property, such as joint tenants or tenants in common, cannot be guilty of the offense with respect to the property that is jointly owned. A co-owner who wrongfully transfers jointly owned property converts his or her own property as opposed to that of another; therefore, there is no conversion. If a person has any interest in property held jointly with another, the person cannot be convicted of the offense relating to that property. For example, a coowner of an automobile cannot be guilty of embezzling it if both owners have an equal right to possession. A number of states, however, have statutes punishing embezzlement by co-owners, such as partners who wrongfully convey partnership assets.
In most states, an agent authorized to collect money for his or her principal and to keep a certain amount as commission is guilty of embezzlement if he or she wrongfully transfers the entire sum collected.
Possession or Custody of Property Possession is the essential element for distinguishing between embezzlement and larceny. While larceny requires that the thief take the property out of the victim's possession, the person must lawfully possess the property at the time that it is converted for embezzlement.
It is not necessary for the defendant to have physical or exclusive possession. It is sufficient if the person has constructive possession, a form of possession that is not actual but that gives the holder power to exercise control over the property either directly or through another person. Alternatively, mere custody is insufficient for embezzlement. If a master puts a servant in charge of property for purposes of guarding or caring for it, the master is considered to have constructive possession of such property while the servant has mere custody. A servant who wrongfully converts property over which he or she has custody may be guilty of larceny, but not embezzlement.
The fact that an accused person lawfully receives property at different times will not negate an embezzlement charge provided all other elements of the offense are met.
Trust Relationship Since the offense is aimed at punishing persons who convert property for their own use when possession is lawfully acquired, prosecution is limited to instances where the parties are in a fiduciary, or trust, relationship.
Generally, a debtor and a creditor, or an agent and a Broker, do not have a fiduciary relationship sufficient for the offense. There must be some further indication that one person has a duty to care for and exert some control over the other's property. The most common type of trust relationships are those existing among corporate officers, partners, and employers and their employees.
Conversion of Property
Conversion is an act that interferes with an owner's right of possession to his or her property. For purposes of embezzlement, conversion involves an unauthorized assumption of the right of ownership over another's property. It may, for example, occur when a person is entrusted with property for one purpose and uses it for another purpose without the consent of the owner. Generally, any type of conversion that occurs after a person obtains lawful possession of property is sufficient.
Although a failure to return property is evidence of conversion, it does not necessarily constitute embezzlement—absent proof of criminal intent. However, if a statute imposes an absolute duty to return property, the failure to do so is embezzlement, provided all other elements are met.
In certain circumstances, a demand is required before a person can claim that his or her property has been converted. Usually, no demand is required if it would be futile, such as when an accused has fled the jurisdiction with the property. If, however, there is no definite time specified for the return of the property, a demand might be necessary. The demand is merely a request that the wrongdoer return the property. The request does not have to be formal, and there is no requirement that the word demand be used.
When an agent is given authority to sell property and thereafter converts the proceeds of the sale, he or she is guilty of embezzlement of the proceeds, as distinguished from the property sold. A person with authority to cash a check but who converts the cash is, likewise, guilty of embezzlement of the cash and not of the check. The person, might, however, be guilty of embezzling the check if at the time of cashing it, the person has a fraudulent intent to convert it.
Intent In a majority of jurisdictions, a fraudulent intent to deprive the owner of his or her property is necessary for embezzlement. It is characterized as intent to willfully and corruptly use or misapply another's property for purposes other than those for which the property is held. The defendant's motive is not relevant to the intent element.
Although it is not essential that the intent exist at the time possession is first taken, it must be formed at the time the property is converted. The offense is not committed if there is an intent to return the specific property taken within a reasonable period of time. If, however, there is a fraudulent intent at the time the property is converted, a subsequently formed intent to return the property will not excuse the crime. An offer to restore the property will not bar a prosecution for embezzlement. Some courts have held, however, that an offer of restoration can be considered on the question of intent. A person who believes that the property to be transferred is his or hers is considered to act pursuant to a claim of right. The possibility that the belief is mistaken, or unreasonable, is not important. If one has a Good Faith belief that one has a right to withhold property or devote it to one's own use, the conversion cannot be fraudulent, and there is no embezzlement.
The validity of a claim of right is a Question of Fact determined from Circumstantial Evidence. It is not sufficient if the person merely states he or she acted honestly. If circumstances evince that there was a willful and knowingly wrongful taking, a claim of right defense will not succeed.
Persons Liable
One or more persons may be guilty of embezzlement. If there is a conspiracy to embezzle, parties to the agreement are liable as principals. A person who aids and abets in the conversion can also be guilty of the offense.
Since the offense is defined differently in several jurisdictions, the punishment for embezzlement can vary. Generally, the penalty is a fine, imprisonment, or both.
Some states distinguish between grand embezzlement and petit embezzlement on the basis of the value of the property stolen. The former involves property of a greater value and is punishable as a felony, while the latter involves property of a lesser value and is punishable as a misdemeanor.

Landrum-Griffin Act
In these caverns, already prepared by nature, the eye was accustomed to dwell on huge shapes and masses, so that when art came to the assistance of nature it could not move on a small scale without degrading itself.
Nor can any lover of nature enter the old piles of Oxford and the English cathedrals, without feeling that the forest overpowered the mind of the builder, and that his chisel, his saw and plane still reproduced its ferns, its spikes of flowers, its locust, elm, oak, pine, fir and spruce.
The Grecian state is the era of the bodily nature, the perfection of the senses,--of the spiritual nature unfolded in strict unity with the body.
Rare, extravagant spirits come by us at intervals, who disclose to us new facts in nature. I see that men of God have from time to time walked among men and made their commission felt in the heart and soul of the commonest hearer.
Man is the broken giant, and in all his weakness both his body and his mind are invigorated by habits of conversation with nature. The power of music, the power of poetry, to unfix and as it were clap wings to solid nature, interprets the riddle of Orpheus.
The universal nature, too strong for the petty nature of the bard, sits on his neck and writes through his hand; so that when he seems to vent a mere caprice and wild romance, the issue is an exact allegory.
For through that better perception he stands one step nearer to things, and sees the flowing or metamorphosis; perceives that thought is multiform; that within the form of every creature is a force impelling it to ascend into a higher form; and following with his eyes the life, uses the forms which express that life, and so his speech flows with the flowing of nature. All the facts of the animal economy, sex, nutriment, gestation, birth, growth, are symbols of the passage of the world into the soul of man, to suffer there a change and reappear a new and higher fact.
This expression or naming is not art, but a second nature, grown out of the first, as a leaf out of a tree.
But nature has a higher end, in the production of New individuals, than security, namely ascension, or the passage of the soul into higher forms.
A spy they will not suffer; a lover, a poet, is the transcendency of their own nature,--him they will suffer.
(as of an intellect doubled on itself), by abandonment to the nature of things; that beside his privacy of power as an individual man, there is a great public power on which he can draw, by unlocking, at all risks, his human doors, and suffering the ethereal tides to roll and circulate through him; then he is caught up into the life of the Universe, his speech is thunder, his thought is law, and his words are universally intelligible as the plants and animals.
Wordsworth intended to make this only an introduction to another work of enormous length which was to have presented his views of Man, Nature, and Society.

The four pillars of successful training courses
Keeping Data Secure While Running Remote Training
For businesses and employees alike, the lines between office and home life have become blurred. In a matter of months, employees have learned to abandon their morning commutes and office desks in favour of working from home (WFH). However, this shift hasn't been entirely frictionless in terms of remote security.
Although there are clear benefits to WFH, 2020 saw over 1,000 major data breaches occur within the United States alone - causing the data of over 155 million individuals to become exposed.
(Image: Threat Post)
As we can see from the data above, instances of ransomware attacks grew significantly in Q1 and Q2 of 2021.
With hackers continually looking to take advantage of the lack of security measures prevalent with employees working from home, it's becoming vital for businesses to act quickly to ensure that their private data is secure at all times in remote scenarios.
With this in mind, let's take a look at how companies can work to ensure a more comprehensive level of security when it comes to WFH:
Limiting the Prospect of a Breach
The two most important measures a business can take in ensuring its long-term security in a WFH landscape revolve around a new working culture of thoughtful and thorough policies designed to train and educate their employees on how to keep their data safe.
Providing education on cyberattacks, appropriate app use, and the maintaining of secure physical workspaces for employees is particularly imperative for newly remote businesses. The details of this approach will be dependent largely on the type of work your business conducts and the nature of the personal information you collect and use.
Ensure that your workforce is fully trained in how to keep data safe while they work from home. Even if your company has already undertaken training in data protection prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, it's key that you implement a modern refresher as your company adjusts to the age of the new normal.
Tapping into the Security of VPNs
Utilising a virtual private network (VPN) is a great way for companies and employees to safeguard their sensitive data from cybercriminals and employees who may be vulnerable to giving up private information unwittingly.
"VPNs enable secure remote access, ensuring the security of business accounts and the privacy of the remote worker," said Pablo Listingart, founder of Winnipeg, Canada-based ComIT.
(Image: Okta)
As the diagram above shows, VPNs utilise dedicated servers that can make it far easier for IT teams to manage workers all around the world. To this extend, businesses can act to ensure that all employees only ever access company servers via the use of a dedicated VPN.
There are plenty of enterprise solutions for VPNs available, and when combined with antivirus software, VPN users can work to mask their precise location from cyber threats and keep employees safe from harm online.
According to a recent PC Matic survey, 91% of respondents claim that they haven't been provided with antivirus software to install on their home devices. In the age of the new normal, companies must adapt to the changing needs of a remote workforce and seek out software-based solutions that can ensure the security of their WFH teams.
Ensure Greater Data Governance
In recent years, strategic decision making has become reliant on the harnessing of data insights. HR technology helps employee data to be used more effectively for talent programmes within HR and across various business functions.
However, the use of big data can be difficult for businesses to manage. With widespread regulations surrounding the usage of data, HR departments must acknowledge that they don't have free reign to use all the data they have the ability to access.
Complying with data regulations can be tricky, but remote work and the dangers of public internet connections can make the handling of big data a dangerous prospect.
This calls for more comprehensive approaches to data governance. Your business must work to identify the data that it collects and where it's stored. It's vital that data is never stored locally on laptops or computers.
Furthermore, be sure to understand how long data is stored. Organisations, particularly those with operations in various countries or regions, tend to have different retention requirements due to local laws. By building ongoing processes to purge data that's reached the end of its legal cycle, you can not only ensure that you stay compliant across the board, but you can also actively prevent existing data from falling into the wrong hands.
Keeping as much HR data as centralised as possible can also help to organise archived data into chronological folders - helping users to keep track of the information they possess and manage it better can help to ensure that only the correct information is shared among remote employees and clients.
As the world of employment changes, many businesses are facing up to a brand new remote operating model. The companies that adapt quicker in the age of the new normal stand with the best chance of ensuring that the data they use will remain in the right hands at all times.

Under very normal, even under extremely positive, circumstances I am terrified of getting sick. Mostly, I am afraid of terminal illnesses, but I often think I have any illness anyone has around me. Hypochondria is just lovely, isn't it?
Now, lucky for me, there is a flu EPIDEMIC. An epidemic! How serious does that sound!? At first, I thought, eh, the news is always over dramatic, it can't be THAT bad. I have actually felt okay. I have not had any symptoms…even the ones I make up in my head. I have not even been too concerned.
Until today…not one, but two co-workers have come down with the flu. The students are dropping like flies, and Husband woke up with a sore float. The governor even declared a health emergency in New York. Luckily, I did not have work today. I did, however, have to run errands.
Running errands meant riding the train, shopping, exchanging money, and being around so many people. Eww. I tried so hard to ignore all the sneezy, nose-blowers all around me, but then….I…sneezed. Now my nose is running.
I cannot be getting sick.
I absolutely cannot get the flu. I have plans, big plans. I am flying to Texas this weekend to host my sister's baby shower, and a huge project to complete at work. I have no time to be sick.
For those of you who may be wondering, no, I did not get the flu shot. Why? I don't know… I am too busy to take the time to get one. I did not give it any thought. I keep hearing it doesn't work. I hate going to the doctor for any reason. Basically, just a lot of dumb excuses.
Is it too late to get a flu shot? I just wish I could stay locked in my apartment until my flight on Friday…and maybe lock Husband out. Sorry babe, but if you get sick you may need to be quarantined. No offense.
I hope none of you have the flu, or get the flu. If you do, please stay home. Stay well everyone, and wish me luck!
I dont think it is too late to get a flu shot!
You CAN NOT get the flu!
They say it's NOT too late to get a flu shot. 2 years ago Mark & I went to the beach for our 25th+1 year aniversary and I got the flu. It was not pretty. I spent the week in bed coughing. Mark slept in the other room. Also a doctor visit with 4 perscriptions. After that we all get a flu shot every year. You can go to a CVS about $32. The shots are not perfect but they offer the best protection. I always tell Kali to wash her hands as soon as all the children have gone home. That should help and well. Good luck.
Oh no! That sounds awful Amy!! After an experience like that I'm sure you will never forget to get a flu shot!
Recently getting the flu set my anxiety off big time. More than I honestly thought it could. It wasn't in my mind until I ended up in the ER with an elevated heart rate. But I was given the flu shot after I already got it. My immune system is weakened so I think getting it was best, just in case!
Oh no! That sounds awful! So glad you are feeling better! I'm sure being sick didn't help anything…it's hard to "be positive" when you feel that crappy. I have emergency TV shows on DVD when I am desperate for a pick me up!
I had never gotten a flu shot before this year! I heard about how bad it was here in Boston while I was in Colorado and was convinced to finally get one. I wish I would have thought to get it earlier…My two weeks before 'full protection' weren't even up before it came time for me to fly back into the health emergency! Hope you've stayed flu free!
oh no that is awful! So far so good on my end…lets just hope it stays that way! I have been washing my hands and drinking emergen-C like crazy!


Even though season has just begun, the men on Concordia's soccer team are aiming to get to this year's MIAC playoffs. The team is currently 2-8-1.
During the week from 5:15 p.m. – 7 p.m. the men are outside bonding as a team and toning their skills at practice for the upcoming games. According to senior Brett Wegleitner, practice consists of a technical warm up, breaking off into small-sited games and making sure they do not have to run waffle makers, or sprints.
Head coach Ben Schneweis feels all the hard work the men have put in so far has enabled them to truly become one team.
"We've simply grown as individuals and as a team since we came together in mid-August," Schneweis said.
This year the team consists of 10 new players and several returning players. With the new numbers, Schneweis and the team have had to change up who plays what position.
Despite having several new players, Schneweis has not changed up his coaching style.
Senior Alexandre Cyusa is very pleased with the new players' contribution to the team.
Wegleitner feels the sense of family provided by his teammates helps him throughout the year.
Cyusa's first language is French, so he had to learn how Americans communicate during the game.
Wanting to make it to the MIAC playoffs is a big goal. The team, however, has buckled down and created a schedule that enables them to accomplish that goal.
"We have played a very tough schedule, as our strength of schedule is ranked the 14th toughest in the nation, so every game we've played has been a real challenge," Schneweis said.
Cyusa feels one of the main reasons the team has had success this season is because of the amazing coaching staff.
Schneweis is very happy with the team's overall performance this season. He is confident the team's success will continue and knows with a little perseverance the team will accomplish their overall goal.

A while ago, we featured Loaf's retro-styled Berlin armchair. There's now an accompanying Berlin sofa available, more than worthy of a mention in its own right.
Like the armchair, the sofa shape is inspired by an original vintage piece. A neat button back leads down to gently curved arms and elegant splayed beech legs. That's combined with a comfy cushion pad, meaning it's as nice to sit on as to look at. As it's quite a compact design, it's great for smaller flats or even bedrooms – the small sofa measures 150cm across, while the medium is 180cm across (there is no large option!).
There's a massive 64 different upholstery options to pick from – compare the turquoise blue above with the cream option below. Each design is handmade to order.

As trade war heats up, China threatens clampdown on "rare earths" – CBS News
May 30, 2019 by Zettan
"Rare earths" could help China in trade war
China state media reports suggest the country is considering limiting exports of "rare earths" as the trade war with the U.S. escalates.
Rare earths are a group of 17 elements used in everything from mobile phone cameras and automobile catalytic converters to wind turbines and MRI machines.
Rare earths aren't rare per se, but their distribution in the planet's crust makes processing them difficult.
China dominates the global supply of rare earths and accounted for almost 80% of exports to the U.S. last year.
As trade tensions between Washington and Beijing intensify, China's state media on Wednesday suggested it may play a new card — restricting U.S. access to "rare earths," the chemical elements that are widely used in everything from mobile phones and other consumer electronics to wind turbines, MRI machines and military hardware.
China dominates global exports of the 17 elements that constitute rare earths, accounting for almost 80 percent of America's imports last year, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Bank of America Merrill Lynch analysts. Other countries that supply rare earths to the U.S. include Australia, Estonia, France and Japan.
Here's a look at what rare earths are and why they could play an important role in the ongoing trade war between the U.S. and China.
Rare earths aren't that rare
The 17 elements defined as rare earths aren't as rare as their moniker suggests — gold, copper and platinum are more abundant and easier to mine, for instance. By contrast, rare earths are ubiquitous in modern life, and their use is likely to spread as technology advances.
Cerium, used in compounds for catalytic converters in automobiles, is the most abundant and is more common in the earth's crust than copper or lead, according to the USGS.
The glass industry is the largest consumer of rare earths, which are used for polishing, additives for color and other special optical properties. One rare earth element, lanthanum, makes up as much as 50 percent of digital camera lenses, including cell phone cameras.
Irina Ivanova/CBS MoneyWatch
So where does the name come from?
Rare earths don't get their name because of their scarcity; rather, they got that label in the 18th and 19th centuries because of their relative imperviousness to heat compared with other mined materials.
Rare earths are found in such low concentrations around the world that they are harder to extract and refine, and not always found in commercially mineable quantities. As a result, a handful of countries account for the bulk of extraction, including China, Australia, Japan and Malaysia.
China, which has roughly 40 percent of the global reserves of rare earths, accounted for almost 80 percent of U.S. imports of the elements last year, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch. One reason China is the global leader — it's been pulling rare earths out of the ground for a long time. The country spent a century perfecting the refining method for extracting and refining rare earths in large enough quantities to keep costs manageable.
China's not-so-veiled threat
Chinese president Xi Jinping last week visited the country's biggest rare-earths producer in an appearance that was broadcast on Chinese national television. The visit followed a U.S. crackdown on technology giant Huawei by President Donald Trump's administration earlier this month, and was interpreted by experts as a signal that the Chinese government is weighing restrictions on rare-earth exports.
Huawei steps up legal battle over U.S. ban in Texas court
China will try to meet global rare-earths demand as "long as they are used for legitimate purposes," stated a commentary in the Xinhua news agency, a mouthpiece for Beijing. But later it added that "if necessary, China has plenty of cards to play."
Hu Xijin, editor in chief of China's Global Times newspaper, was blunter, saying in a tweet on Tuesday that the country is "seriously considering restricting rare exports to the U.S."
JJ Kinahan, chief marketing strategist at TD Ameritrade, said China's threat to use rare earths as a weapon against the U.S. is worrisome. "What it shows to me is that there is a little bit of a worsening relationship here," he said. "They went pretty deep in the bag to throw out something that would hurt."
A complete ban is impractical
Despite China's dominance in producing rare earths, implementing a total ban on exports to the U.S. might not be in its favor. For one, cutting off supplies of a critical material used in products around the world could undermine Beijing's efforts in recent years to portray itself as a responsible actor on the global stage — and make it harder to bash the Trump administration for its hardball stance on trade.
Meanwhile, a Chinese ban risks inviting other countries to rev up rare-earths production. The last U.S. source for rare earths, the Mountain Pass Quarry in California, closed in 2015. The U.S. could shift demand for some metals to places like Malaysia or re-start domestic processing, although that could prove difficult because of regulations designed to prevent widespread environmental damage.
China tariffs: Here's how much more your shoes might cost
If China does clamp down, they are likely to be selective in which elements to target because the country wants to be seen as playing by World Trade Organization rules, said Arthur Kroeber, head of research at Gavekal Economics and editor-in-chief of China Economic Quarterly, on a call with clients this week. China's goal is to paint the U.S. as a "lawless actor" that disrupts economic growth, he said.
"I really think that they have a problem [in] that none of the options are very good and all of them involve very significant costs to China," Kroeber said. "So if they're going to do any of them they have to do them extremely carefully, and I think quite selectively."
The WTO would disapprove
Still, it wouldn't be the first time China tried to use its dominance in rare earths as part of a trade conflict. China blocked some rare-earth exports to Japan after a maritime dispute in 2010. That led some countries to search for alternatives — and a protest by Japan with the WTO, which ruled in 2014 that the restrictions on rare-earth exports were illegal.
It also led some companies to cut their use of rare earths and to find alternatives for things like the element dysprosium, used in electric car magnets, the Bank of America analysts noted.

Ranked-Choice Voting: an idea whose time has come
Climate activist Bill McKibben took to the New Yorker recently to advise me and the Green Party to stand down our presidential campaign and instead work for ranked-choice voting (RCV) so we don't "spoil" the election for Joe Biden ("Instead of Challenging Joe Biden, Maybe the Green Party Could Help Change Our Democracy," April 15).
The problem with McKibben's advice is that the Green Party's demand for replacing the Electoral College with a ranked-choice national popular vote for president will not even be raised in the presidential campaign if the Greens are not in the race.
Ranked Choice Voting May Come to New York City ... But Not for Everyone
June 13, 2019, New York City — The Green Party of New York (GPNY) said last night's vote on a ballot measure to introduce ranked-choice voting (RCV) for New York City municipal primaries and special elections was disappointing, as commissioners voted 8-6 against applying RCV to general elections. Party officers praised the six commissioners, including Democrat Sal Albanese and Republican Stephen J. Fiala, who made a strong case for RCV in all municipal elections for New York City voters.
Urgent -- Call NYC Officials to Support RCV & Democracy Vouchers
Brooklyn, N.Y. – All of your comments and testimony in support of Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) have made an enormous difference! The Green Party of Brooklyn (GPBK) Thanks you!
On Wednesday, June 12, the NYC Council Charter Commission votes on which proposals, including RCV, will be included on the November ballot. Your voice is needed once again to make sure the Commission knows how much support there is for RCV!
Demand PR, Not Just RCV
Ranked-choice voting (RCV) refers to systems where voters rank their choices in order of preference.
The good thing about these systems is that they eliminate the vote-splitting or lesser-evil problem of single-seat, plurality-wins elections like we have in most of the United States.
Contact your state legislators NOW & help pass RCV bill for Washington!
Seattle, WA – Cities and towns in Washington could soon have the freedom to choose better elections, thanks to bills filed in our legislature. HB 1722 and SB 5708 offer local jurisdictions the option to use ranked choice voting (RCV) for elections.
RCV is engaging voters and invigorating democracy in the 22 cities and counties around the U.S. that have already adopted it for their elections. Under this bill, Washington communities will be able to enjoy these benefits, too.
Vote for RCV on Tuesday!
Portland, ME – Although we only have 6 candidates on the ballot for this year's primary election, it is of utmost importance that Greens across Maine get out to vote in this Tuesday's election to preserve ranked choice voting.
Our allies at RCV Maine are making one last push to get out the vote on Tuesday, and we ask you to help them to preserve this very important measure to improve democracy in Maine, by volunteering these last few days.
Maine Greens Call For People's Veto of Bill Effectively Killing RCV
Maine Green Independent Party co-chairs Riva O'Rourke and Jon Olsen today condemned the Maine State Legislature's actions in special session yesterday in passing passed LD 1646, "An Act To Implement Ranked Choice Voting in 2021." This bill, supported by members of both the Democratic and Republican parties, "sabotages the citizen referendum on ranked choice voting," said Olsen and O'Rourke. "This vote severely damages our first-in-the nation statewide effort to initiate RCV, and may have dealt it a fatal blow."

Flash back to 2008 I was living in Orange County California. On New Years Eve my Japanese friend and I dresses in vintage kimono and photographed ourselves. My friend then used Adobe Photoshop to send us halfway around the world to Kyoto, Japan, where she superimposed pictures of us in front of the famous Golden Pavilion and Inari Shrine.
We had a great laugh at the photos, but little did we know that six years later we would be living the fictitious images we had created.
In 2014 I travel to Kyoto, for real this time. I met up with that same Japanese friend, who is now working in Osaka, and we donned vintage kimonos which we rented from a local shop. We paraded around the historic streets of Gion in our kimonos, where both tourists and locals alike took pictures of us. We went to posh cafes and divvy restaurants in our kimonos. We drank coffee, and ate ramen in our kimonos. We went to a temple and used the backdrop of historic Japan for some for the images, and then in true juxtaposing fashion we want to an arcade and used the backdrop of modern Japan for some of our images.
Then when the clock struck six it was time to return our kimonos, and we ran like Cinderella back to the rental shop, panting so hard we felt like we had already turned into pumpkins.
Two friends, six years later, making dreams come true.


The resolution, Resolution 14-R-12980, reaffirms the City's "condemnation of the government of Brunei as well as other governments that engage in similar policies, for adopting laws that impose extreme and inhumane penalties including execution by stoning, flogging and severing of limbs," and reaffirms their resolve that the government of Brunei divest itself of the Beverly Hills Hotel and any other properties it may own within the City of Beverly Hills.
Several employees delivered impassioned statements in support of the hotel, including one who identified as a member of the LGBT community.
Brunei is a tiny oil-rich nation of about 450,000 people, run by Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah who also serves as the prime minister. In recent years, according to CNN, the country has become more conservative, including banning the sale of alcohol. It is on the island of Borneo, close to Islamic countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia.
In 2014, the country announced the new laws, which have been implemented gradually. They are the first country in the region to adopt shariah law. Brunei's attorney general announced the latest phase would be implemented on Dec. 29, 2018.
A statement from the office Brunei's Prime Minister says that Brunei has, "always been practicing a dual legal system… based on the Syariah (Shariah) Law and the other on Common Law." The two systems are set to run parallel, beginning April 3.
The new laws have sparked a public outcry worldwide. Several celebrities have joined to boycott hotels owned by the Sultan, including the Hotel Bel Air and the Beverly Hills Hotel.
On May 7, 2014, when the new laws were announced, the City Council issued a similar resolution. Dozens of employees of the Beverly Hills Hotel came to the City Council meeting to express their opposition to a boycott of the hotel.
Employees from every walk of life spoke against an official boycott, which affected their jobs, as opposed to having an effect on the Sultan's decision regarding Shariah Law.
The Beverly Hills Hotel is one of several hotels in Paris, London, Milan, Ascot and Geneva that are affected.
Councilmember Julian Gold remarked that there are many other countries which engage in human rights violations similar to Brunei that probably do business in Beverly Hills.
Countries which employ amputation, flagellation and lapidation (death by stoning) as per Sharia Law include Mauritania, Sudan, Somalia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, according to Wikipedia. It has also been practiced in Iran. Flogging and caning are practiced Indonesia and Malaysia.
Vice Mayor Lester Friedman was not convinced.
Both Mayor Mirisch and Councilmember Lili Bosse strongly disagreed.
"We are a community that is humane and human… Human civil rights, marriage rights, who you love, freedom of religion… to not take a strong stand against governments who take that away… I am glad we are doing that again. I look forward to a day when we don't have ownership like that in our community. That is not who we are," said Councilmember Lili Bosse.

Whitefield and Joseph Clarke Schools' work is designed to help students lead fulfilling lives after school. This includes everything from conventional academic qualifications to everyday skills needed for independent living and also employability.
At the heart of Whitefield's employability work sits Project Search, a supported internship programme which gives students real-world job placements and training. Whitefield runs Project Search in conjunction with Barts Health NHS Trust, which hosts many of our interns at Whipps Cross and Royal London Hospital where they gain experience working in three different departments over the course of a year.
The programme has proved tremendously successful, with over 70% of interns going on to find a full-time regular, mainstream job and others finding apprenticeships.
In fact, it has proved so successful that the Academy Trust has opened it to students from other schools who have special educational needs.
With demand growing Whitefield is now looking to expand beyond Project Search and is looking for local employers who would like to host supported short-term work experience placements.
Project started in the US and spread internationally. Each country may have many separate Project SEARCH operations, serving a particular region.
Since its inception in 1996, Project Search has grown from a single programme site at Cincinnati Children's Hospital to a large and continuously expanding international network of sites.
Since 2013 Whitefield has run the Project Search programme in North East London in partnership with Barts Health NHS Trust. Search's training and job placement offers an unparalleled success rate, with over 70% of students who complete placements moving into full-time work. The programme has proven so successful that it now takes special needs students from many other schools.
This coordination of Project Search in the UK has been taken over by The DFN Charitable Foundation, a UK registered charity established in 2014 by David Forbes Nixon with the express aim of promoting programmes which significantly improve the employment prospects of young people with learning disabilities and autism spectrum conditions.

Q: Extract SQL statements from Java/SQL files I have a huge codebase that has a lot of JAVA and .sql files. I intend to extract all the SQL statements from all these files.
Here is the way I intend to achieve this -

*

*Build a regex file containing patterns like select, insert, delete, update etc that I intend to extract.

*Parse files line by line in code base and match against Regex. If match is found, register the code line, file name, pattern etc.

The problem comes when the SQL queries are broken into multiple lines.
I am using java.util.regex.Matcher and java.util.regex.Pattern methods to build/match regex patterns when I read lines using Buffered Reader.
  pattern = Pattern.compile(regexString,Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);
  .
  .
  matcher = pattern.matcher(lineBuffer.readline().trim());
  if( matcher.find()){
    //Do something
  }

For Multiline statements,
I should look for the line terminator ";" - if not found, I can read next line and append the output in matched string so that it is understood as a single query.
 while(!lineString.endsWith(";")) {
   lineString = lineString + lineBfr.readLine().trim();
 }

Is there a better way to achieve a solution to the requirement here using Pattern.MULTILINE or using StreamBuffers where I read the entire file into a single buffer and process further?

A: You could take advantage of Apache Commons, and their great method FileUtils#readFileToString(File file).
This combined with the Pattern.MULTILINE you mentioned seems like a potentially very simple solution.

A: Unless your file contains only SQL statements in a consistent predictable format, I think that parsing SQL statements with regexes will turn out to be extremely complicated.
It may seem fairly simple on its face, but there are lots and lots of special cases to handle.

*

*What about properly handling comments?

*What about the word SELECT or a semicolon contained within a string?

*What about string escaping characters?

And so on.  If you don't handle all of these, you won't even be able to do something as simple as get all the statements.
A better approach would be to use an existing library to parse the SQL for you.  In this question, there appear to be several good options for Java: SQL parser library for Java

A: For Java files, or more accurately, compiled Java classes, I'm trying something similar, but I'm using the Java decompiler javap -verbose to search for the strings (type Utf8) that start with select or that otherwise appear to be SQL statements.
It's a work in progress, and I'm muddling through myself, so I can't post a complete solution, but this should be enough to build off of.

Race with Ryan Review
Richard Dobson
Ryan's World has over 22 million subscribers on YouTube, but he isn't exactly a household name compared to other prominent vloggers. His videos are aimed at younger children and predominantly feature reviews of toys and games, but also include day-to-day videos of his family's life. Last year, his videos and line of toys and merchandise earned him over $22 million, making him the highest paid YouTube star for 2018. In a nutshell, he's a pretty big deal, but this may be the first time a lot of people have heard of him.
Race with Ryan is the first console videogame released as part of Ryan's World. It is a kart racer aimed at a similar pre-school audience to the YouTube channel, featuring many of the same supporting cast, and also plenty of footage of Ryan and his parents. The presentation and overall appearance may be lacking but the racing is pretty solid, and existing fans of Ryan and his madcap family will no doubt love every second of the game.
Racing takes place on six different tracks – available in both forward and reverse versions – that take in everything kids love: bedrooms, toy stores and fairgrounds, but then also there are tracks based on the wild west, a spooky one and a pirate-y one too. The number might not be huge, but each circuit is at least diverse enough from the previous one.
Better choices come from the characters and more specifically the vehicles to choose from. Each character has two or three different vehicles to pick from, and not all are four wheeled; helicopters, trains, spaceships, boats and more. None of the vehicles have stats though, so the choice is purely cosmetic, but it is a good and colourful selection nonetheless.
There are a few modes in Race with Ryan, but all are pretty standard stuff and none should come as a surprise. Fast Race lets you pick a single track – providing you have unlocked it – for a quick blast of fun, and Random Race automatically selects a track and driver for you should you want to jump in as quickly as possible. Career mode though is where you will spend most of your time.
In Career mode there are six cups to aim for, and each has three difficulties. The first three cups – Pizza Cup, Toys Master and Formula Fruit – only have three races in each. Cups four and five have four races each and the final championship has all six tracks back-to-back.
There is also up to 4-player splitscreen where you can undertake all the same modes, including 4-player career mode.
Then when you get into the game itself, the racing feels surprisingly good. Extensive use of the powerslide is essential in the harder difficulties but it feels smooth, letting you drift round the corners and speed down the straights. Sometimes though, you can feel like you are far enough away from a hazard, but the hit detection argues otherwise and your car gets flattened for a brief period, but this is a minor issue if you stay in the middle of the track.
As with any kart racer, pickups are a must and Race with Ryan is no exception. There are all your standard types here but all are done in a child-friendly way. Projectiles consist of a football and a tennis ball, shields are made of hamburgers – food seems to be a recurring theme in this game – and there are even decoy pickups that you can use to confuse other drivers. There isn't a vast amount of powerups in Race with Ryan, but what is there does the job.
Fans of Ryan on YouTube will be pleased to know his voice is included in the game, through short introductory videos at the start of each cup, and also in the races, acting almost like a commentator. But they aren't of the highest sound quality. In fact, with some lines you can even hear the clicking on of his microphone before a brief pause and then the line said. Presentation-wise it feels lacking and could have done with a bit more polish, especially when you consider the price of this game is £34.99. That price point is an issue.
Race with Ryan has 23 achievements in total, and as expected, this is a fairly easy completion. Most – but not all – of the cups in career mode have associated achievements, but it is worth noting that difficulty ones do not stack; you will need to play the Easy, Medium and Hard versions of each cup to unlock them all. Provided you aim for these, the other achievements for driving a certain number of hours and total time drifting will likely unlock during a normal playthrough and without much effort.
Race with Ryan on the Xbox One has some solid arcade style driving that is worth a look at, for both fans of the YouTube channel and those looking for more kart racing. Sadly, the presentation is a bit lacking with some voice recordings sounding worse than an amateur podcast. That price point is a sticky issue at £34.99 too, especially when you consider a much better kart racer – Crash Team Racing – is only £29.99. But, if you can stomach the high price then there is something here for both fans and non-fans of Ryan and his YouTube channel.
Ryan's World has over 22 million subscribers on YouTube, but he isn't exactly a household name compared to other prominent vloggers. His videos are aimed at younger children and predominantly feature reviews of toys and games, but also include day-to-day videos of his family's life. Last year, his videos and line of toys and merchandise earned him over $22 million, making him the highest paid YouTube star for 2018. In a nutshell, he's a pretty big deal, but this may be the first time a lot of people have heard of him. Race with Ryan is the first console videogame…
