The East Riding includes a range of rural parishes, market towns such as Hedon, Patrington and Bridlington, and the larger ports of Beverley and Hull. The Beverley records (fully surveyed) reflect a long tradition of drama: a regularly-performed Corpus Christi cycle and an occasional Pater Noster play, as well as town waits and visiting performers licensed by magnates. The material includes a range of town documents: the 'Great Guild Book' (c.1400-1589), accounts (from 1366), Governors' and Mayors' Minute Books, and the 'Small Order Book'. Religious guild returns and antiquarian material have also been extracted, and there may be further material in local wills and ecclesiastical records.
Early surveys of other parts of the Riding suggest much local variation: Hull seems to have had little locally-produced drama other than a Noah play, but did sponsor town waits and visiting performers. A full series survives of town council MSS, the Bench Books, as well as City Chamberlains' accounts and the records of the Guild of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Trinity Guild. The Hedon records, mostly compiled by the 19th-century antiquarian Gillyat Sumner, include medieval churchwardens' accounts referring to town waits.
Rural church and manorial records might show different patterns of activity from those in the market towns and ports; there is evidence of a touring circuit of performers within local areas – for example, players from Cottingham appear in the records of Beverley and York. Wills, manor and church court records and family papers have yet to be searched.

Q: How to split string and extract only one word in python? I have this string where I need to extract only one word to put into a new columns.
HELLO WORLD TEST SHOES1 PROJECT

The required string is SHOES, but it has '1' beside it.
How can I extract the SHOES only?
Thank you

A: You can use split with sub string
string.split(' ')[3].substring(0,4);

[3]: Reperesents index 3 of splitted array which is SHOES1 and then substring by 0 to 4 you will definitely get SHOES.

A: This question is quite vague, but taking an educated guess at what you want, a func like
def find_and_trim_the_word(stringy, word):
    for w in stringy.split():
        if w.startswith(word):
            return w.rstrip('0123456789')
    return ''

might do the trick.  It splits the input string into separate words. If it finds the word, it trims any trailing digits off and then returns the word.
Note that this would also return SHOES if you passed in "SHO" or "SHOE" for word.

A: First to get the word 'SHOES1' you have to use the 'split' method.
Then you can use 'strip' method to remove any unwanted characters or numbers.
So, the final answer would be:
"HELLO WORLD TEST SHOES1 PROJECT".split(" ")[3].strip("1")

Q: Comparing two array values I have a form used to void, dismiss, amend and correct citations. A void can not be done in conjucntion with a dismissal, amendment, or correction.  If you need to void and amend, you complete two forms. You can however do a dismissal, amendment and/or correction on the same form. I have two arrays created based on the variables from the form. One array has the variables from the void section, the other array has all the other variables.
I am trying to create a rule that compares the void to all others.  I want to be able to check if any void variables are != "" and any of the other variables are != "" and then give an error message.
if($_POST[$all_other_fields] !== "" && $_POST[$void_fields] !== "")
                {
                  $all_ok = false;
        $citation_error_msg = "Blah, Blah Blah";
                 }

What I have done, unwittingly, is stated ALL varriables from both arrays must != "".  I want to say if even one variable from both arrays != "", then error message.
I am not sure how to make the comparison.

A: So, you're saying that if a void field is filled out, throw an error if someone fills out other sections?  I might restructure my form into a paged form, where you ask what the user wishes to do and then present them with a specific form to do it.  Having extraneous fields on a form just makes things confusing for the user.
In any event, if you stick with your current form design, you'll need to have an array of void field names against which you'll check your $_POST.  Something like:
$vf_flag=false;
$void_fields=array('vf1','vf2','vf3');
    foreach($void_fields as $vf) {
      if(!isset($_POST[$vf])) continue;
      $vf_flag=true;
      break; //only need one error
    }
$nonvf_flag=false;
//do the same as above except with a non_voidfields array()

if($nonvf_flag && $vf_flag) $citation_msg='blah blah blah';

This is a verbose way, but it's straightforward.  You could also do it with array_filter() and a callback.

Labor Unions Then and Now Essay
The statement, "the role of unions has declined inversely to the passage of social legislation," means that unions have proved to be as effective as before as the passage of social legislation fills in the need for them.
Employees' unions have traditionally sought fairer wages and working hours and more humane working conditions through the formal process called collective bargaining between a union and the employer. Under federal labor laws, most private sector workers have the right to collective bargaining (Malfaro 1998), but not to those who work for state governments and institutions. Policemen and firefighters are exceptions.
In recent years, however, public-sector employees slowly gained the right to collective bargaining by forming coalitions and only after quasi-collective bargaining "meet-and-confer" efforts with public employers for many years (Malfaro). Teachers' unions have tried engaging in non-binding negotiations with school board through the process called consultation, sometimes fruitfully, sometimes not. But even when fruitful, the grant of their demands is not a matter of legal right on their part but only a favor on the part of the officials. These teachers' unions, nevertheless, resort to consultation and "meet-and-confer" arrangements in coming to terms with their employers on wages, teaching hours and working conditions. All in all, these efforts by the public sectors' unions have managed to secure fair bargaining laws in recent years. Besides collective bargaining rights, workers' unions have also sought equal rights for part-timers, family and paternity leaves, limits on working hours and a national minimum wage (BBC News 2000).
The new Employment Relations Act allows trade unions the right to recognition in a workplace with more than 21 workers, if at least 40% of these workers vote to recognize them (BBC). They have also won the right to paid maternity and paternity leaves and part-timers have likewise been granted the same rights as full-time employees. The length of their working hours has been restricted, in addition. However, they still have to win in their fight for a national minimum wage and to being informed in advance of closures or redundancies (BBC).
But owner-employers of small businesses are not happy about these new rights and filed strong objections against them, on the ground that these rights would burden them very much. Furthermore, these small businesses are displeased about having to implement some government tax changes, such as the Working Families Tax Credit. One of these owner-employers said that these rights and taxes impose regulations and burden on them, thus "increasing (their) costs and lowering (their) flexibility to respond to fast-changing markets" (BBC).
In response, the government promised to limit its intervention in the labor market "for greater flexibility." The new position has since strained the partnership between the unions and their employers. It is now entirely the decision of the government to determine how far it can go helping the unions without losing the support of the business community (BBC).
The unions hope that the new Employment Relations Act will reverse the observed decline in their memberships into half since 1979. The observation has statistical evidence as well as a forecast. Eric Hobsbawm wrote, in Marxism Today, that what labor unionists and activities thought was their high success score in fatally injuring the labor government was turning into their very failure (Lloyd 1999).
For more than a decade now, membership with the Traders Union congress has decreased by almost half at 6.7 million (Lloyd), in which only 18% under the age of 30 are trade union members. This was confirmed by the International Labor Organization figures, which reveal a decrease in union memberships in 72 of 92 countries. This is the situation despite the passage of social legislation.
From the 70s, women have been entering the workforce, especially in the professional and managerial levels. Many of these have no traditional unions, these have worked separately, are irrelevant because these are small businesses, or unions are considered subversive (Lloyd). New educational levels have flourished and have produced specialists and managers who do not join, form or allow unions.
The middle class has swollen its ranks in the US and Western Europe from 200 million to 500 million. The same trend has spread in the late 1980s in Southeast Asia. The increasing numbers bear out the message that employer-business owners have won over the working class – in power, income and number (Lloyd). New individuals in the workplace who are not within the middle class are broken down into new groups with no natural or known affinities or traditions. They take on new directions and lives, not inherent to those known by traditional unions (Lloyd).
Quite sadly, employers have been lobbying intensely for the draft legislation that will prevent them from taking action against employees for the first eight weeks of an unofficial strike. Similarly, they oppose the provision of a union official representing their workers in a dispute, and the bureaucracy's keeping time record of employees' working hours to conform with the directive on working time (Lloyd).
The prediction, years back, was that future crises would eliminate both capitalism and the working class, but it did not happen. Unions have decreased in power and number despite legislations, and unpredicted trends are responsible.
Meanwhile, the sacrifice of police officers, policemen and firefighters in the September 11 bombings paid off, according to an article published in The USA Today (Jones 2002) Their survivors received compensations from the federal government, New York City, their unions and charities specifically designated for them. These federal payments will be deducted from the overall fund payouts reserved for public safety officers killed in the line of duty, such as these martyrs. Counsel John McAusland for the Port Authority's Police Benevolent Association remarked that the victims compensation system was not too fair, because what is given to some is taken away from the rest. He further lamented that it was possible for their families to have nothing left when all the payouts are made (Jones).
But as Human Rights Watch would say it, law enforcers, like the 29,000-member Patrolmen's Benevolent Association (PBA) and similar police unions and fraternal organizations in New York City, are far from deprived of financial benefits and capabilities. In fact, these forces have not exactly been quite willing to enlist their strength to support reforms towards a more professional and less brutal police force (Human Rights Watch 1998), as their unions have themselves impeded the implementation of these reforms. For instance, the PBA was consistent against police accountability in its attempt "to protect the rights and interests of its members." This stance is viewed by outsiders as well as PBA insiders s a conflict of interest and an insincere gesture, because it goes against the wish of the majority of its members to see corrupt cops get prosecuted for their crimes and removed from the service (Human Rights Watch). According to information and feedback from prosecutors, corruption investigators and ranking police officials, it is these police unions that foster the characteristic insularity of police culture. PBA delegates and their lawyers also help reinforce the "code of silence" among their officers who have either committed or witnessed the performance of corrupt acts by their colleagues. Most interestingly, the PBA was charged with a federal corruption by a grand jury in February 1997 and its financial records for 10 years required for the investigation of union accounts of more than $100 million in assets. A legal defense fund was among these assets. According to reports, two of the major partners in the law firm handling the union money were indicted in January 1997 for racketeering, involving the erstwhile Transit Police Benevolent Association (Human Rights Watch).
In two articles, the Council of Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) complains of "crushing workload" (Allan and Lamoreuz 2001) and urges action on priority issues. A third article deplores teachers' unions as handicapping schools (Stern 1997).
These two groups of employees' unions are similar in that the majority of them are women. Teachers and health care workers are also of consistently of short supply (Stern 1997). Both groups also claim receiving low pay, and they are easily moved from one position or function, time or location to another at short notice or none at all. Both also allow work time extensions (Stern). They are dissimilar in that health care workers are mostly regular employees with fixed schedules and functions, while teachers are not full-time employees of schools and institutions. Health care workers are also helpless victims of their employers, who pay them little and make them work so much, resulting in below-par service to patients and very little time and opportunity to relate with them. Health care workers also have no paid family and personal leaves, unrealistically low pension plans and overwork, due in turn to reduced funding and staffing in hospitals. Furthermore, these chronic care hospitals are being turned into long-term facilities, which have lower funding and result in even lower pay for the workers. Teachers, on the other hand, have no difficulty in these areas. Teachers exert so much power and influence over school owners and the educational community – as well as other communities. They have paid personal, vacation and family leaves, adequate pension plans and other benefits and receive extra pay for extra work (Stern).
Proponents of labor unions argued that the conflict between employer and employee focused on the relative division of profit, the employee's job security and protection from arbitrariness, and the employee's role in the decisions the employer makes (Jedel 1998). These proponents claimed that the craft or industrial union would be effective in representing and advancing employee interest. While objective observers have differed in perception on the effectiveness of labor unions, they share common views. On the whole, they agreed that unions had an impact on the division of economic grains between them. Unions had vastly significant impact on the "rules of the workplace." Seniority systems and other criteria had typically replaced the view of the employer on workplace-related employment decision. Lastly, grievance arbitration systems became one of the most significant features of the collective bargaining system. The threat of strike has been confined to times when the two sides could not negotiate through the collective bargaining system. In the last decades, the influence of unions and the labor movement was observed to have been diminished. Global economy forces companies to operate worldwide today. Security of employment is now more linked with the economic strength of the company rather than collective bargaining power. Unions have been observed to be powerless in preventing downsizing. Labor leaders must convince employees that a union can still be an effective instrument in addressing and settling important issues. They must demonstrate that the benefits of choosing a union as the representative of their interest would exceed the real or perceived costs of that representation (Jedel). #

Let us custom build, design, remodel, repair, filter and maintain your pond for you.
Ponds can take on a number of shapes and forms, themes and settings. They can be chlorinated or left to nature's follies. Dragonflies and frogs are typically present within days of filling them with water.
Inadequate circulation i.e. letting the pond sit and not running the pump. Stagnation and sunlight cultivate algae. As a pond runs, it aerates (oxygenates) a pond which can dry out suspended algae. String algae can be removed by hand and controlled through algaecide. Most natural products perform poorly.
The roots of aquatic plants collect dirt and debris. Too many can cause dirt to build up and discolor the water. Plants need to be thinned and rinsed periodically.
Most of the repairs we are called out on are due to poor construction or leaks from improper construction.
It takes time and experience to learn the right way to install one. Even after installation, there are still small adjustments that need to be made to direct the flow of water to keep as much inside the pond as possible.
Loss of water can occur from splashing and evaporation. Either of these can drain a pond within a few days.
Creating a thin sheet of water on the feature can create an attractive spot for birds, butterflies and honey bees to drink from. The shallower the better.
On average, most of our ponds are 3'+ in depth. This allows for the optimal depth for water lilies and protection for the fish from raccoons and birds.
The following pond splits around and island in the center as it meanders through this customer's yard. It took six months and 90 tons of stone to build.


And to end the night, there was a fireworks show on the Allegheny River. It's always nice to see smiling faces and the sense of joy and warmth throughout the night. It is without a doubt one of my favorite part about the holiday season. You don't have to be religious to get into the holiday spirit…but rather an ideal time for reflecting on the past year and cherishing the people and moments that have made the year what is has been. Give back a couple cents, hug someone tighter, tell someone that you love them, or even just recognize and say thanks to the often unrecognized…that's what the holidays are about.

Press Center Siggraph 2008 NewTek Releases LightWave 3D 9.5 for Windows
NewTek Releases LightWave 3D 9.5 for Windows
NewTek Inc., manufacturer of 3D animation and video products, has released LightWave Version 9.5 for Windows, an update to its 3D application, LightWave 3D. LightWave 9.5's new capabilities include FiberFX, a hair and fur solutionl a new lighting system; and many improvements to animation, rendering, and workflow. The update is available to registered owners of the LightWave 9 series at no charge. SIGGRAPH attendees can see LightWave 9.5 demonstrations at NewTek booth #159.
A highlight of LightWave 9.5 is FiberFX, a proprietary polygonal fiber modeler for creating realistic hair, fur, and feathers. It provides artists with a full suite of tools to model and style each fiber, create volumetric shadows, render-in reflection and refraction and more.
LightWave v9.5 also offers improved rendering quality and speed, with upgrades to the radiosity sampling system and interpolated modes. Also, there are new disk-based caches for radiosity: the Static Cache, for animations where only the camera moves; and the Animated Cache, where any element of the scene can move. Both types allow the user to pre-render the cache and apply the solution when doing the full scene render--either locally or across a render farm. LightWave radiosity can now be rendered at reduced resolution and applied to the full-size final render, providing a higher-quality output with even faster render times, a huge benefit for today's time-pressured production environment.
LightWave 9.5's IK and animation system includes improved character animation controls. Adding to LightWave's z-axis bones, artists now have joint-type bones, which is more familiar for users of other programs with joint-based metaphors. It also adds a "stretchy bones" capability to LightWave.
The lighting system is now a plug-in API, allowing third parties to create custom lights and lighting plug-ins. IES lights have been added with a thumbnail preview of the luminaire with other information and controls. Also available are new size-selectable spherical lights and dome lights.
LightWave v9.5 allows the import and export of FBX and Collada scenes and objects. This greatly improves compatibility with other 3D applications.
NewTek will be providing a free trial edition of LightWave v9.5 on disc and by download. Artists should note that there are now more than 24 hours of free LightWave training at www.lightwave3d.com, in addition to an extensive library of printable tutorials.
LightWave 9.5 for Windows is available now as a free update to registered LightWave 9 owners. The LightWave 9.5 Mac open beta program is currently available until upcoming final release. LightWave 9 owners can participate by registering at: http://register.newtek.com/. LightWave 9 is available now at the suggested retail price of $895. Registered owners of LightWave 8 or earlier can upgrade to LightWave 9 for $395.

In this chapter I will be teaching you the difference between Wicca and Paganism and the History of Wicca.
What is the difference between Wicca and Paganism?
Wicca is a tradition of Witchcraft that was brought to the public by Gerald Gardner in the 1950s. There is a great deal of debate among the Pagan community about whether or not Wicca is truly the same form of Witchcraft that the ancients practiced. Regardless, many people use the terms Wicca and Witchcraft interchangeably. Paganism is an umbrella term used to apply to a number of different earth-based faiths. Wicca falls under that heading, although not all Pagans are Wiccan.
The term "pagan" (derived from the Latin paganus, which translates roughly to "hick from the sticks") was originally used to describe people who lived in rural areas. As time progressed and Christianity spread, those same country folk were often the last holdouts clinging to their old religions. Thus, "pagan" came to mean people who didn't worship the god of Abraham.
History of WIcca - The history of Wicca documents the rise of the Neopagan religion of Wicca and related witchcraft-based Neopagan religions.Wicca originated in the early twentieth century, when it first developed amongst several secretive covens in England who were basing their religious beliefs and practices upon what they read of the historical Witch-Cult in the works of such writers as Margaret Murray. It was subsequently popularised in the 1950s by a number of figures, namely Gerald Gardner, who had been initiated into the Craft - as Wicca is often known - by the New Forest coven in 1939. Gardner's form of Wicca, the Gardnerian tradition, was spread by both him and his followers like the High Priestesses' Doreen Valiente, Patricia Crowther and Eleanor Bone into other parts of the British Isles, and also into several other, predominantly English-speaking, countries across the world. In the 1960s, various new figures arose in Britain who popularised their own forms of the religion, including Robert Cochrane, Sybil Leek and Alex Sanders, and organisations began to be formed to propagate it, such as the Witchcraft Research Association. It was also during this decade that the faith was transported to the United States, where it was further adapted into new traditions such as Feri, 1734 and Dianic Wicca in the ensuing decades, and where organisations such as the Covenant of the Goddess were formed.
From the 1970s onward, books began to be published by such figures as Paul Huson, Scott Cunningham, and Stewart and Janet Farrar which encouraged self-initiation into the Craft, leading to a significant boost in the number of adherents and the development of new traditions. With the rising popularity of Wicca, it was used as a partial basis to various witchcraft-based American films and television shows, further increasing its profile, particularly amongst younger people, in the 1990s.
In the 16th and 17th centuries, something known as the witch hunt took place across Europe and the American colonies, during which somewhere between 40,000 and 100,000 people were killed. These people had been accused of being witches, who, according to their persecutors, worshipped the Devil, and committed acts of diabolism that included the cannibalism of children and desecration of the Eucharist. Most scholars since have agreed that these were the victims of isolated incidents of hysteria in remote, peasant communities, and that there was no religion being practiced by these witches.
However this was not the only view; one, which originated with Karl Ernst Jarcke in 1828, and which was expanded upon by Jules Michelet in the 1860s and Margaret Murray in the early 20th century, known as the Witch-cult hypothesis, claimed that the witches had been members of a pan-European pagan religion which had pre-dated Christianity and had been persecuted by the Christian Church as a rival religion.
Many Wiccans, particularly those of the early decades, believed that their religion was a continuation of this pagan Witch-Cult. It was only in the 1980s and 1990s that some Wiccans began to see the idea of the Witch-Cult as a creation myth rather than as historical fact.

The coalition aggregated the voices of business leaders who were demanding a stricter climate deal in the lead up to COP 21.
We Mean Business played a key role in the lead-up to the Paris COP in 2015 by aggregating the voices of business leaders who were demanding that their governments agree on a stricter climate deal.
In the lead-up to the Paris climate change conference, with the stakes for the environment higher than ever before, a group of progressive business leaders decided they needed a fresh voice. Various business networks and sustainability coalitions, plus large numbers of individual companies, had been working to promote greener industry for years. But these fragmented strands of advocacy had failed to unite across sectors. Something new was needed to provide a strong and coherent business challenge to the defenders of the status quo.
The result is We Mean Business, a "coalition of coalitions" attempting to turn the sustainability community's collaborative rhetoric into concrete action and give enlightened business leaders greater sway.1 Its founders, including BSR, The Climate Group and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), represent thousands of top world-class firms and investors.2 Since 2014, they have worked to send a unified signal to governments that businesses everywhere want smart climate policy. The hope is to catalyse meaningful climate action in both the private and public sector.
As part of this effort, the coalition has created a common platform for companies and investors to take – and be recognised for – bold action on climate change, such as committing to 100% renewable power, putting a price on carbon or, for investors, pledging to disclose the carbon footprint of their portfolios. To date 471 companies, with combined revenue of over US$8.1 trillion, have signed up, plus 183 investors representing more than US$20.7 trillion in assets.3 Industry players from Tetra Pak to Facebook have made commitments. As well as individual pledges, the group seeks out opportunities for partnerships that can help shape a business friendly, low-carbon economy.
None of this is radically new. From the US Climate Action Partnership (USCAP) to Business for Innovative Climate and Energy Policy (BICEP), there have been many attempts to create forums for collective corporate action.6 Fans of We Mean Business say this one is proving more effective, in large part thanks to the servant leadership of CEO of the Carbon Disclosure Project Nigel Topping who is determined to build an effective organisation that only rewards real commitment.7 The founders also hope they can learn from earlier mistakes. As BSR president Aron Cramer put it, "our organisations don't always do the best job of actually collaborating." Fixing this could dramatically boost their impact.

U.S. regulators knew they had to act fast. A train hauling 2 million gallons of crude oil from North Dakota had exploded in the Canadian town of Lac-Megantic, killing 47 people. Now they had to assure Americans a similar disaster wouldn't happen south of the border, where the U.S. oil boom is sending highly volatile crude oil every day over aging, often defective rails in vulnerable railcars.
"Rotten crossties, missing rail plates, dips and waves in the tracks," Wathen wrote on the blog.
"2011 was the safest year on record in terms of accident rate until 2012, which itself was the safest year on record until 2013," he said. "Preliminary data indicate that 2013 will be the safest year on record. With respect to hazardous materials, you've heard the number: 99.997 percent of hazardous materials go from origin to their destination without any accidental releases."
"Who was the guardian of public safety?" she lamented during a press conference releasing the report. "That is the role of the government...and yet this booming industry, where trains were shipping more and more oil across Canada and across the border, ran largely unchecked."

Q: Quartz job Vs. Thread for immediate one time task Let's say I have some unit of work that needs to get done and I want to do it asynchronously relative to the rest of my application because it can take a long time e.g. 10 seconds to 2 minutes. To accomplish this I'm considering two options:

*

*Schedule a Quartz job with a simple trigger set to fire only once and as soon as possible.

*Create a Runnable instance, hand it off to a Thread, and call run();.

In the context of the above I have the following questions:

*

*What does using the Quartz job get me that the thread doesn't have?

*What does using the runable get me that using the quartz job doesn't?

*In terms of best practices, what criteria ought be used for deciding between Quartz jobs and runnables for this use case?

A: With Quartz you have many features "well implemented", like:

*

*transaction mgmt of job execution

*job persistence, so that we know the status of the running jobs

*clustering supports

*scheduling control, even if you just need the simple trigger. But it provides the possibility.

without using it, you have to control them on your own, some issue could be complicated.
Starting new thread:

*

*light weight no job persistence, quartz api etc.

*your application runs without extra dependency (quartz)

*error source (from quartz) was reduced

It depends on what kind of job do you want to start, and if other features of your application require job scheduling too.
If your concern is just asynchronisation, you can just start a thread. If there were other concerns, like clustering, you may consider to use quartz.

A: I would not add Quartz to a project just for this capability, but if I already had Quartz installed and was already using it, then, yea, even for a one off I would use a one time immediate Quartz job.
The reason is simply consistency. Quartz already manages all of the details of the thread and job process. A single thread is Simple, but we also know from experience that even a single thread can be Not Simple.
Quartz wraps the thread in to a high level concept (the Job), and all that which it brings with it.
From a code base point of view you get the consistency of all your jobs having the same semantics, your developers don't have to "shift gears" "just for a thread". Later, they may "just do a thread" and run in to a complexity that Quartz manages painlessly.
The overhead of the abstraction and conditions that make a Quartz job are not significant enough to just use a thread in this case because "it's lighter weight".
Consistency and commonality are important aspects to a codebase. I would stick to the single abstraction and leverage as much as I can.

A: If it's a one-time job and there are no additional requirements, like job persistency, scheduling, etc. then you're better off with regular threads.

*

*Quartz jobs are much more robust than regular threads and support scheduling, job persistence, etc., all the other stuff that you probably don't need.

*No need to set anything up with Runnables and Threads

*If you think there might be more jobs that this, scheduled jobs, delayed jobs, etc, you have 2 options: go with Java's standard Excecutors. Set up a thread pool and use this to run your jobs. You might also want to use Spring's TaskExecutor abstraction so you can easily switch between Quartz and Executors when you need it. But that seems like an overkill for a one-time gig.

A: For immediate 1 time task, Threads will be enough.
But there are better plugins available like quartz, Spring Scheduler

Effetto Mariposa's Giustaforza has long been the high standard in torque wrenches. And while it is on every mechanic's 'want' list, at $260 it is may not be on everyone's need list. The new compact and more universally affordable G 1-8 is likely to change that. The precision focused click-in feature of the new Giustaforza 1-8 and the sturdy construction remain the same. The new smaller wrench ratchets its torque range back to 1-8 Nm, reaching all time sensitive lows. If needed, torque can still be reached past 8 Nm and up to 20 Nm without damage to the tool.
At 135 grams the Giustaforza with a compact head works as portable mini tool and reaches tight spaces. Take it trail-side or assemble a shipped road or triathlon bike with this one tool. Loud click and a free movement of 5° will indicate the precise torque has been reached.

The Tokaido Neck Warmer, which completes the Tokaido collection, is designed to keep your neck warm during cold rides, but at the same time to let you breath easily while riding at high intensity. The inner layer of the Neck Warmer is made of Polartec® Alpha® fabric, which was originally developed for the U.S. Special Forces, as response to their need of an advanced insulating material for their combat uniforms. The Alpha® disposes of an active insulation mechanism that is able to regulate core body temperatures, during both dynamic and static activities. The Tokaido Neck Warmer was tested on the roads and trails of Kyrgyzstan during the Silk Road Mountain Race, in the hardest environmental conditions ranging from 4.000mt high mountain passes to 40 degrees desertic lands. The Neck Warmer can be used on two different sides, each one thought for a specific use. On the one side, laser cut holes allow you to breath deeply while riding, keeping you dry and comfortable at the same time; on the other side the inner Alpha® fabric protects and keep you warm from cold and extreme temperature, while descending.

Jeffrey Aronson: When I Use a Word . . . Snowflakes
I love snowflakes. I enjoy crunching them underfoot on a crisp winter's day and the silky feeling that you get when skiing through a fresh fall.
The word "snowflake" entered English in the early 18th century, first recorded in a pantomime called Cupid & Psyche, or, Colombine-Courtezan, based on the tale told by the Numidian writer Apuleius (c124–c170) in The Golden Ass: "Soft as the cygnet's down his wings, And as the falling snowflake fair". This was a surprisingly late entry, considering how early its separate components, "snow" and "flake", had appeared. The earliest instance of "snow" cited in the Oxford English Dictionary is in the Vespasian psalter, from c825 AD: "Se seleð snaw swe swe wulle", which is an Old English translation of the Latin version of Psalm 147, verse 16: "qui dat nivem quasi lanam", or in the original Hebrew
which literally means "the giving of snow like wool", more clearly translated as "he spreads snow like a woollen blanket". "Flake" first appears, linked to snow, in Chaucer's House of Fame (c1384): "As flakes fallen in great snowes".
But words evolve and, like many other words, "snowflake" has accrued many other meanings.
Snow-buntings have white bodies and what appear to be flecks of snow on their wings. Starting in the late 17th century, they were therefore called snow-flecks. Then, in the late 18th century, that became corrupted into "snowflakes".
The snow-bunting, snow-fleck, or snowflake (Wikimedia commons).
At about the same time, William Curtis published his Flora Londinensis, which included the picture of a purple foxglove that William Withering used as the frontispiece to his 1785 monograph on digitalis, An Account of the Foxglove. Curtis gave the name snowflake to the Leucoium aestivum, to distinguish it from Galanthus species of snowdrops, both members of the family Amaryllidaceae. These plants contain galantamine, a cholinesterase inhibitor that has been used to treat dementias; the results have been unimpressive in both Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementias.
As in the psalm, snow and wool also come together in the use of the word "snowflake", when it describes a method of weaving woollen cloth.
A snowflake is also the name given to a hairline crack in metal, arising when the metal has not been allowed to cool down sufficiently slowly, and described in a 1919 issue of the Bulletin of the American Institute of Mining Engineers as a "white silvery area, which always has the appearance of being of a very coarsely crystalline structure".
Snowflakes appear in mathematics too, and I discuss one instance in the Interesting integer section below. Here is another. Draw an equilateral triangle (Figure a; black). Now on the middle third of each side draw another equilateral triangle and erase its base (b; red). Now repeat that on each available side in the new shape (c; blue). If you continue doing this you get a shape that resembles a snow flake (d). This is a fractal pattern, one that has the same local characteristics no matter how high a magnification you choose to look at it. The boundary is of infinite length, because you can go on adding new triangles forever. However the area it encloses is finite and is 60% larger than the area of the original triangle.
One more meaning of "snowflake" remains to be explored.
Ah, well, I should have expected that to happen 🙂
Finally, an aphorism from a book called Myśli nieuczesane nowe (More Unkempt Thoughts, 1964) by the Polish poet Stanisław Jerzy Lec: Żaden płatek śniegu nie czuje się odpowiedzialny za lawinę. No snowflake feels responsible for an avalanche.

"On every level, Cold Storage is pure, unadulterated entertainment." —Douglas Preston, The New York Times Book Review
For fans of The Martian, Dark Matter, and Before the Fall comes an astonishing debut thriller by the screenwriter of Jurassic Park: a wild and terrifying bioterrorism adventure about three strangers who must work together to contain a highly contagious, deadly organism that could destroy all of humanity.
They thought it was contained. They were wrong.
When Pentagon bioterror operative Roberto Diaz was sent to investigate a suspected biochemical attack, he found something far worse: a highly mutative organism capable of extinction-level destruction. He contained it and buried it in cold storage deep beneath a little-used military repository.
Now, after decades of festering in a forgotten sub-basement, the specimen has found its way out and is on a lethal feeding frenzy. Only Diaz knows how to stop it.
He races across the country to help two unwitting security guards—one an ex-con, the other a single mother. Over one harrowing night, the unlikely trio must figure out how to quarantine this horror again. All they have is luck, fearlessness, and a mordant sense of humor. Will that be enough to save all of humanity?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
You'd expect the first novel from the screenwriter of Jurassic Park to match a few hardy souls against a fantastic threat to humanity—and you'd be right. Instead of dinosaurs, David Koepp dreams up a monstrous, constantly mutating microorganism that does battle against a trio of extremely imperfect heroes trying their best to save the planet. Cold Storage is ambitious, with a story line that spans over three decades and a dash of hard science that keeps things disturbingly convincing. Best of all, Koepp delivers a truckload of suspense sure to have you turning pages well into the night.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY JUN 17, 2019
Screenwriter and director Koepp makes his fiction debut with a sensational SF thriller. In 1979, Skylab, the first NASA space station, crashes into the Indian Ocean, with a piece landing in Western Australia. Aboard Skylab is a highly adaptive fungal organism, Cordyceps novus, which was sent into space as a research project. Once back on Earth, the organism starts to evolve into a sentient killer that sees humankind and all other life-forms as nourishment. In 1987, USAF Maj. Roberto Diaz, a Defense Nuclear Agency operative, manages to contain the organism after it decimates a remote Australian community in nightmarish fashion. In 2019, Diaz, who's now retired, receives the midnight call he's been dreading the remnants of the organism, buried far underground inside a former military installation in Kansas, may have escaped. Diaz rushes from his North Carolina home to Kansas, where he joins two security guards in battling the menace. Breakneck pacing and nonstop action compensate for the predictable story line and the occasional contrivance. Michael Crichton fans won't want to miss this one.

Wow. I loved this book! It was exciting and unputdownable! I recommend it to anyone who loves a thrill and infectious disease horror. I usually, of late, read only a little before bed here and there, but with this book, I finished it in only 3 nights of reading! I just HAD to keep going, to finish it.
Also, it makes me wonder... what undiscovered horrors of our natural world may actually exist?

Eh. Didn't get past chapter 2.
I'm usually drawn into a book by the first chapter or two. The way the author writes vs what he/she writes is big for me(My favorites are Reilly, Deaver, Hoag, Preston/Child, Morrell).
There have been some that have a bad start, but the writing is good and read on. This one wasn't working for me at all. I only read two chapters.
-dry humor or not. Having a kid deserves something more emotional to it. Especially if they're one of the main characters. But just a simple unemotional line?
-I wanted to visualize something cool happening, but all I got was poor writing about two people who might be flirting and want to sleep with each other, and then an actual list of why?!
Nope. ✌
The rest of it might be good, but I'll never know.

If the filmmakers had taken enough time to get to know real transgender people prior to making this film, the depiction of Lili would have been one of a lucid, reasonable person trying to live honestly to herself in the midst of a world that wants to interpret and label her as crazy.

Sometimes with pen or pencil in hand, other times with a full palette of acrylic or watercolors, Hooper adds connections or isolating areas to accent characters and objects with little or no preconception or plan -- something like the way a jamming jazz musician riffs or a butterfly flies.
As to the DGA awards, Hooper joins Steven Spielberg, Kathryn Bigelow, Ang Lee, and Ben Affleck for this honor. Omitted were Quentin Tarantino, Paul Thomas Anderson, and most serious, a favorite: David O. Russell.
One Oscar Les Miserables won't be nominated for is "Best Original Musical." Wait a minute, you're thinking, that's crazy talk -- there's no category called "Best Original Musical." As a matter of fact, there is such a category, but it's just never been activated.
The epic musical Les Miserables, now portrayed on the big screen, contains elements so rarely seen today and yet so sorely needed.
What do Lincoln and Les Miserables have in common? Enjolras played by Aaron Tveit, a student leader of the June Rebellion in Les Miserables, belts it out.
As we celebrate 2012 in film, it's fitting that we honor movies that affirm the very liberty that makes our art, our traditions of free speech, and our democratic form of government possible.
The film version of Les Miserables is truly an amalgamation of the good, the bad and the ugly. All three elements are found in this epic film of faith, forgiveness and redemption.
Tom Hooper's film of the musical Les Miserables is an exceptional movie of a mediocre musical, the kind of middlebrow melodrama that passes for profound on Broadway.
The harshest thing I can say about Tom Hooper's Les Misérables is that I can only imagine those who have not seen the original show wondering what the fuss has been all about.
Squalor, sewers, Dickensian suffering, a splendor of operatic riches! If you are director Tom Hooper, how do you follow the drama of the multi-Oscar winning King's Speech?

'Fees Free' at SAE
SAE Creative Media Institute in Auckland will be 'fees free' for New Zealand students starting their audio and film studies in January 2018, thanks to the New Zealand Government's new tertiary education policy.
As a degree granting tertiary institution accredited by the NZ Qualifications Authority (NZQA), SAE Auckland is eligible to offer the first year of tertiary study to New Zealand students free of charge. This is the first step in the government's stated intent to extend this policy to two years of 'fees free' study by 2021 and three years by 2024.
In a further boost, from next year, student allowances will be increased by $50 per week. The amount students can borrow under the student load scheme will also increase by $50 per week.
With over 50 campuses worldwide, SAE Creative Media Institute is world recognised as a leader in creative media education. Qualifications on offer at SAE Auckland include the Certificate in Electronic Music Production, Diploma in Audio Engineering, Bachelor of Recording Arts, Diploma in Film Making and a Bachelor of Film Arts. For more information about programmes delivered at SAE Auckland, see auckland.sae.edu.
Under the new 'fees free' policy, all New Zealand students who finish school in 2017, or will finish school during 2018, qualify for a year of free provider based tertiary education or industry training up to a cap of $12,000 per year.
The policy will also benefit those who aren't school leavers. There are no age restrictions, and adults who have done half a fulltime year of tertiary education or training also will qualify for 'fees free'.
In NZQA's latest External Evaluation and Review (EER), SAE Auckland achieved a Category 1 rating with a Highly Confident in Educational Performance and Highly Confident in Capability in Self-Assessment. This is the highest possible rating that a tertiary provider can achieve and particularly impressive for a private tertiary institution.
Campus Director for SAE Auckland, Dr Suzette Major said the fees free policy would make SAE's audio and film courses more accessible for aspiring creatives in New Zealand.
"This is great news for students who are seeking to establish a career in audio or film," Dr Major said.
"It means more students will now be able to afford to study at a niche, tertiary institution that delivers hands-on teaching in small class environments, and offers students access to the latest industry-standard equipment and facilities to develop and hone their creative skills.
"There has never been a better time to study creative media at SAE."
Dr Major said the Institute had seen a 25 per cent increase in enrolment enquiries over the past four weeks, since the new policy was mooted. She said anyone interested in studying audio or film at SAE Auckland in 2018 should apply soon as places were limited.
Students can find out if they are eligible for a fees free education and more information on the policy on the fees free website here.
More information on the policy from the Ministry of Education can be found here.

How much has a timetable changed?
Scanning through this timetable from 1957, it appears as though there are a lot of similarities in a student's day. A major difference was the inspection of hands and nails in the morning. It seems odd that a teacher would have to ensure student cleanliness.


All high-frequency PCBs operating beyond 100 MHz are termed as RF PCBs whereas a Microwave RF PCB operates above 2GHz. The development procedures involved in RF PCBs are different as compared to conventional PCBs. RF Microwave PCBs are much more sensitive towards various parameters which have no effects over ordinary PCBs. So, the development has too carried out in a controlled environment with the required expertise.
RF Microwaves PCBs are used in various wireless technology based products. If you are working on robotics, smartphones, security applications or sensors, you need to select a perfect RF Microwave PCB for your product.
With the advancement of technology, every day new designs and products are entering the market. These advancements have brought about a significant revolution in electronics. For a product developer, it is of great interest to find a suitable PCB for his product which ensures a smooth working and long life.
Finding perfect RF Microwave PCB for your project can be stressful especially when it comes to choosing suitable PCB material. For a project developer, it is of great interest that his PCB may be of high-grade material with proper functioning and it should be delivered in time.
The parameters such as RF Microwave energy levels, Operating frequency, operating temperature range, Current and Voltage requirements are of great importance when choosing perfect material for PCB material.
When getting started with your PCB manufacturing, make sure you have chosen the right specifications for your PCB. Classical High-frequency RF Microwave frequencies were single layer PCBs constructed on the dielectric. However, with the evolution in RF Microwave PCB designs, many technologies have emerged during the past few decades.
Why do you need to focus on choosing the right manufacturer?
Ordering PCB manufacturing from a high tech equipped facility can be more beneficial than getting it manufactured in a low-cost manufacturing facility with low-grade material used.
RF PCBs are highly sensitive towards factors such as noise, impedance, electromagnetism, and ESds. High-quality PCB manufacturers focus on eliminating any affecting factors during manufacturing. A poor quality RF Microwave PCB is not expected to sustain for long, and that's why choosing a perfect RF PCB manufacturer can alter your product experience.
Today, most of the modern RF PCB manufacturing facilities use Computer Aided Engineering software simulation programs for PCB manufacturing. The best advantage of CAD-based RF Microwave PCB manufacturing is that it has simulation models of various brands and PCB models with proper product specifications.
These parameters are essential in the production of a standardized RF Microwave PCB and ensure reliability. Furthermore, the machines also support manual functioning, allowing the operator to perform manual operations.
So, it is evident that RF Microwave PCB manufacturing is not as simple as it seems.

A college diploma will require no less than two years for completion, while a career study course can be completed inside a matter of few months. Depending about the range of medications they offer, online pharmacies could be divided into full-range, semi-full, popular, lifestyle, and specialized drugstores. This can be an indispensable service if you're house bound and can not travel.
You could contact them the eyes and ears of your pharmacist because they provide a range of support services which help pharmacists fulfill their primary responsibilities. An Internet pharmacy is simply an online store; a website that sells medicines for the web. Terms may change from time to time so it really helps to double-check using your provider about this matter prior to getting treatment.
using the complex equations used, it became faster to obtain results, thus leading. There are incredibly a number of good pharmacy tech schools, each around the internet and at campuses, that will give you the instruction you may need inside a short amount of time, typically from four months to 2 many years. This photo can be a page that fraudsters are maintaining.
The moon sheds her subtle influence on all on this, adding to the variables. These would be the pharmacist who works as being a professor or lecture in a medical college; they spend around 50 per cent with their time in the other areas of pharmacy. If possible try to use the identical pharmacy around possible.
Companies that tend not to give online privacy policies could have you getting unsolicited mail and purchasers calls from a variety of businesses for months to come.

What Does a Teenage Animator Do?
As an animator, your job is to take an idea and portray it on paper as an animated sequence. From there, it's very common for animators to then take those paper animated sequences and put them on a computer to make the animations come to life. It wasn't always this way, but technology has allowed people to make the animation process much more efficient.
How Much Will a Teenage Animator Get Paid?
Starting out as an animator, it's much more likely that this will be a hobby before a paying job. It takes time to build up the skills necessary to get paying jobs and once you do, it's likely to be part-time work when you're available. Animation is done in cartoons, video games, and any instance where characters need to come to life with a storyline. Once you're experienced, it's more than likely that you'll become self-employed as an animator as opposed to working for someone else, though it is technically possible to work for others if they need a full-time animator. According to Salary.com, if you decide to take this career path you'll make roughly $50,000 to $60,000 per year in the future.
How Can I Get Started as a Teenage Animator?
Make sure that you speak to your parent(s) before trying to become a teen animator. They absolutely must know about your plans and will likely be able to help you in your efforts.
Before you begin, you'll need to determine what animator modeling software you'd like to use. Most professionals use 3D Studio Max, Cinema 4D, or Maya. The costs of these programs are very expensive ($300 per month) but the good news is that the company who has created the software will give access to it for free for the first three years as a student. You can get that deal by clicking here. From what we've seen, it's not uncommon for middle schools and/or high schools to have these programs available to students as well.
Once you've gotten access to the software, you need to get properly trained. Though your school may not have animation courses directly, they may have multimedia/design courses instead. Aside from those courses, there is other training available. You can get more training in a number of ways, but we recommend that you join Lynda.com. They offer a free 10-day trial and you should get your parent's permission before you start.
Once you've joined Lynda.com, we recommend you search the course "3ds Max Essential Training" for the most recent year to get started. In this course, you'll get a great introduction to 3D Studio Max and you can learn quite a bit about animation and what the capabilities of the software are.
We suggest that you spend a lot of time getting used to the software and figuring out how it works. Starting out by making your own animations and cartoons for fun is a great place to start, you'll need to be experience and having you're your own projects to show in a portfolio of work is a big positive.
Once you've trained yourself, it's time to start looking into part-time work. Obviously, this might be a struggle at first because it's not every day that someone needs an animator, but there are jobs available. We suggest first that you network with the faculty at your school to see if they do offer these types of classes as teachers usually have industry contacts and might be able to get you a part-time job as a helper. If that isn't an option, you can also use Upwork.com to find jobs.
Congrats, you're officially a teenage animator. Although you won't be an expert overnight, over time you'll gain a lot of experience with 3D studio max and this is a great software program to know for your future job prospects.
Lynda.com: This platform will teach you the skills you need to become a teen animator.
Search "3DS Max Essential Training" and choose the most recent course.
3D Studio Max Software: This is the software required to become a teen animator. It is available in some schools and you can also get a free educational version.
Upwork.com: This will help you find new work when you're trained as a teen animator.

Improvements to veterans' benefits are long overdue
Writer hopes minister continues to do his best for Canada's vets
To the Expositor:
During the last few days the Minister of Veterans Affairs, Mr. Erin O'Tool, appears to be working overtime to get three improvements to veterans' benefits that are long overdue. This is of course an election year, but it shows how quickly changes can happen with a little political will.
On March 11, 2015, the government enhanced the previous benefits that ended at age 65, to a Lifetime Income Security Benefit for additional support of injured veterans and their families for life.
On March 13, 2015, the government strengthened the benefits for Reserve Force Veterans and their families, which was long overdue, to provide equality with Regular Force Veterans.
On March 17, 2015, the government announced the Family Caregiver Relief Benefit for families or caregivers of severely injured veterans, which is another benefit that was a long time coming.
One increase that is still awaiting attention is a much greater increase to the Maximum Disability Awards amounts for seriously injured veterans, as compared to awards by the courts for civilian injuries of similar magnitude.
This is obviously an attempt at damage control after the upheaval caused by Mr. Fantino. Minister O'Tool is obviously the right man for the job, whereas Mr. Fantino was not.
It's a scramble to make amends in an election year, but regardless I am pleased with the performance of Minister O'Tool to date, who acts with a measure of finesse and diplomacy, along with a some sense of urgency to correct these three of the main issues. And I sincerely hope that he continues to do his best for Canada's veterans, who deserve all the help they can get.
