Q: Sharing common projects with Maven I'm coping with the problem of restructuring our Maven build processes to share common projects among all all our projects, but I can't get it working.
So far we have five GUIs (RCP E4 with JavaFX) which use in total thirty libs. Those are partially ours (source code) and 3rd party (jars). Every GUI has its own (working) Maven build process. Every GUI has its own Git with a copy of every lib needed for compilation. To give you an idea how the dependencies look like (only a few GUIs and a few common libs):

Now I want to get rid of the redundancy in these projects. As I said every GUI has its own Git and its own copy(!) of the required common project. I already created Gits for the common libraries to separate them. Now comes my problem. Until now every of these common projects had its own pom.xml in which I need to specify a parent. Here is an example pom.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd" xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <parent>
        <groupId>gui.a.e4</groupId>
        <artifactId>gui.a.e4.app.releng</artifactId>
        <relativePath>../gui.a.e4.app.releng/pom.xml</relativePath>
        <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </parent>
  <groupId>gui.a.e4</groupId>
  <artifactId>common.project.x</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <packaging>eclipse-plugin</packaging>
</project>

At first I tried to just include common.project.x into gui.b.e4 which resulted in the following error:
[INFO] Scanning for projects...

[ERROR]

This error results from the fact, that Maven tries to find the parent of common.project.x and tries to resolve it and the parent's parent which in this case needs to create the target platform (some RCP E4 specific thing). My first attempt to solve this problem was to remove the parent from the pom.xml. So when I don't specify the parent in common.project.x the build of gui.a.e4 complains that:
[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[ERROR] The build could not read 1 project -> [Help 1]
[ERROR]
[ERROR]   The project auv.e4:art.util.geo:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT (/home/mhoffmann/apps/workspace_rcp_gui/art.util.geo.bundle/pom.xml) has 1 error
[ERROR]     Unknown packaging: eclipse-plugin @ line 8, column 14
[ERROR]

and if I afterwards change the packaging type to pom other projects can't find this project:
[ERROR] Cannot resolve project dependencies:
[ERROR]   Software being installed: gui.a.e4.application 1.0.0.qualifier
[ERROR]   Missing requirement: common.project.y 1.0.0.qualifier requires 'bundle common.project.x 0.0.0' but it could not be found

Here is the maven XML for building one of our GUI's, they are all equal (except for names of the projects)

I also don't know how the POMs of the common projects should look like or what to do. I don't have much knowledge about Maven, it is only sufficient for adapting existing scripts to include more common.projects :-). So far I don't know what I should change in order to make it working. Help me please, Maven drives me crazy. :-)

A: The arrows in your graph indicate a hierarchical structure (with the topmost level at the bottom of your chart). Considering this declaring a common.project.x as a sub-module (<module>../common.project.a</module>) of a GUI is counter-intuitive. Especially if two GUIs are referencing the same common.project.x.
I'd suggest the following structure:
+ main
  +- pom.xml  ... declarations common to all projects, common and gui as sub-modules
  +- common
     +- pom.xml  ... declarations common to common.projects, common.projects as sub-modules
     +- common.project.a

Privacy Glass ®
Intelligent Glass PrivacyGlass®
PKO Privacy Glass offers a revolutionary technology that uses liquid crystal (LCD) in the process to produce privacy glass (intelligent glass). This technology allows with a click of remote control to switch the glass from a transparent to an opaque state. This permits the perfect balance between privacy and natural light view. Its technological features are recommended for a variety of environments.
PKO Privacy Glass production is made through a process of lamination of two glass panes with an LCD film (liquid crystal display) with dispersed polymers. When voltage is applied, the molecules then line up in a specific direction, making the glass clear. This allows for the passage of light through the glass. When the device is turned off, the glass returns to its original condition, of translucent white.
Benefits of Privacy Glass
Can be developed to be used in both 110V and 220V voltages.
Allows for rational use of spaces, as well as for the creation of technological environments.
Easy cleaning and maintenance, as well as high durability.
Upon projection, the glass allows for a higher quality of the projected image, because of its liquid crystal composition.
Customized for special projects.
Applications such as meeting rooms, partitions, bathrooms, restaurants, clinics, and hospitals
One aspect that differentiates PKO do Brasil is that we produce privacy glass in both clear and extra clear glass. This gives customers the flexibility to choose which glass type best suit individuals projects.

Inspired by a 100 year old Peter Conacher Organ that is currently resting in Theatr Soar, Merthyr Tydfil, Creative Collaborations is an exciting project funded by the Arts Council For Wales (ACW).
Working with children and young people from Ysgol Santus Tudful, our lead artists explore its history and stories through music, dance and digital storytelling to breath new life into this unique instrument.
The vision was to create an exciting, innovative, participatory project that combines multi arts disciplines – digital, dance, voice and music – an immersive experience that collaborates with Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Santes Tudful, Artis Community, Breaking Barriers Community Arts and Theatre Soar.
The project had some core areas, all inspired by the cultural context of the Peter Conacher Organ. The narrative includes the physical mechanics in creating a functional instrument, the evolution of its power source, the era in which this instrument was in part, a catalyst for mass participation (Cymanfa Ganu), its impact on local musicology (E.T. Davies, D.T. Davies, Joseph Parry), its re-awakening as the 'lungs of Merthyr', its relevance and inspiration for young people today, and its future.
On the 14th November 2018 'Song of the organ' was performed in Theatre Soar Main Theatre Space, a performance stimulating all the senses as well as a wonderful permanent exhibition created by the young people.
The next stage of the project is to work with young people from Ysgol Evan James and the Peter Conacher Organ residing in Pontypridd Museum.

Sorry if I am duplicating other's requests, or if this is in the wrong forum, but I remember recently (last 4 months or so) reading about someone doing an extensive exploration/walkthrough of Elodea. I want to start playing this Age and wondered if anyone can steer me in the right direction. Thank you!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Dulcamara! This is way more than I expected, and from the Age Author herself!!! What a treat!
I am really looking forward to getting started!
I was thinking about a walkthrough for all the Elodea ages but since Dulcamara is endlessly reworking on her ages, it would be too tedious.
See? The truth is coming from the Author's mouth!
I guess I shouldn't get too comfy in that age, we might see huge changes. As long as she keeps my mouse holes intact, it's ok.

USA Hockey has introduced the American Developmental Model (ADM). The Program was implemented after an extensive international study by USAH of educators, child development experts, coaches (from many different sports), physiologists and National Sports Federations. The ADM goal is to provide a very defined systematic (building block) approach to developing athletes starting from the earliest stages of participation, thus increasing the athlete's skill, enjoyment and proficiency.
The USA Hockey ADM is an all inclusive program starting from the U8, Learn to Play (LTP) levels all the way to elite athletes competing at the Professional level. The ADM also addresses improved coaching techniques and Referee development. This program includes on-ice, off-ice, in-season and off-season curriculum for producing a well balanced complete athlete. It defines what is to be emphasized at what age to ensure proper skill development for each age level. The ADM also defines how much and what kind of competition is needed at each level.
For more information on the ADM Model and program visit their website and www.admkids.com.
What the Heck are Tiers and AAA Hockey?
The following article "USA HOCKEY: WHAT ARE TIER I, TIER II, AAA, AA, A, B (AND BB?)?" was written in 2012 and Published on the McSorleys Stick website: http://www.mcsorleys-stick.com/2012/10/usa-hockey-youth-hockey-aaa-aa-a-b-bb-tier/. It is a basic walk though of the various ins and outs of hockey from one parents perspective.

From Child's View, Parents Find Full-Ice Hockey No Fun!
USA Hockey created video for the education of parents on half-ice hockey.
Hockey 101 Video from FlexCoach: Rules!
THE HISTORY Ice hockey is an adaptation of the Native American game of lacrosse. In fact, many of the first rules were borrowed directly from the game, and changes for action on ice.
Body checking in the USA Hockey system does not start in Youth Hockey until the Bantam (14U) level and is not legal in all-girl hockey teams. (NOTE: Girls playing at the 14U level and above on co-ed teams will not be restricted to body checking as they are in all girl teams). Body contact in comparison is taught as a legal part of the game from the 8U level up and serves as training aid to prepare for body checking levels.
Below the 14U level all body checks will receive a minor penalty when called by a referee however body contact remains a legal part of the game and will not be penalized.
NOTE: Body checking in Canada differs between most providences depending on age and level of play.
In youth hockey all house games and most regular season travel games are played with a two-referee system. In this system each referee serves the role of linesman and referee in a cooperative fashion for games.
Locally, you will normally see a three-man system for sectional playoffs and other end of season events in youth hockey. In the three-man system there will be one referee and two linesmen.

Journaling Memories (Trade Paperback / Paperback)
By Smith, Robert; Smith, Marshall; Smith, Owen
The Journaling Memories process brings together the adventure of recalling the many thoughts and memories accumulated throughout life. To stimulate individual thought and recall, this organized process offers hundreds of thought-provoking questions or cues spanning fifty plus ide...ntified life areas. This concept was inspired by the journals of my father who passed away 20 years ago at the age of 95. In handwritten form, he recounted in a structured way, many of the events and lessons of his full life experience. In his journal he left a lasting memory for current and future generations, including my immediate family. His life stories, and messages have become an invaluable emblem of his inspiration for the future. Excerpts of his writings offer testimony to the challenges and conditions of his time. The writings also remind readers of the importance of maintaining a perspective from past events to better understand the present and give hope for the future. To illustrate the limits and hardships of travel in his time, he wrote, In 1918 It took 23 days to drive from Los Angele to Johnstown, N.Y. The same trip was 18 days in 1923. He added that the family traveled across the country, in a new Buick along with his dad, mom, brother and aunt Florence. They also brought their dog and loaded the car with camping gear and a large cupboard filled with food for the trip. These items were all attached to the running board of the car. In his later years he discussed his numerous illnesses and the lack of serious medical attention. He noted that in 1928, He had the dentist remove 4 molars without anesthetic. Then, in the same year, he noted that the dentist removed an additional 2 teeth but the event was complicated when a needle broke off in the jaw. Finally, he added that in the following years, all his remaining teeth were extracted and replaced with full dentures. His words made it clear how his memories offer perspective and can live on with importance impacting our family a

For the tiny school in the tiny community of Barry's Bay, Ont., it is a giant leap forward.
The approval to grant degrees brings additional credibility to the credits earned at Our Lady Seat of Wisdom, which opened its doors in 2000 in Barry's Bay, a town of about 1,200 located 300 kilometres northeast of Toronto. Today, there are 104 students in the school.
News that the Ministry of Education approved the application to elevate the school's Catholic Studies certificate to a Bachelor's degree for an initial period of six years came to Cassidy on the Feast of St. Thomas Aquinas, Jan. 28.
Immediately excitement, delight and relief washed over Cassidy, who began phoning colleagues.
Conversations at Our Lady Seat of Wisdom about garnering degree-granting status date back to the 2004-2005 academic year. By the time Cassidy took over as president in 2009 those conversations had turned into a collection of papers, application drafts and various documents.
Under his reign it took another five years to prepare the "lengthy" and "elaborate" application, officially submitted on May 1, 2014.
It also took some money — more than $15,000 — which came entirely from donors.
Before the school was granted its new status, it was put under the microscope of the Post-Secondary Education Quality Assessment Board, an arms-length body of the government. Reviewers did an academic assessment as well as an evaluation of the administrative and financial policies.
There are still a number of conditions which Cassidy said have to be met before the degree-granting status is finalized. These include establishing an off-site storage agreement for student records, demonstrating an ability to refund students should the school unexpectedly close as well as forging formal partnerships for student and credit transfers.
A number of informal transfer agreements have existed between Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Academy and institutions such as Tyndale University College & Seminary, Trinity Western University and Redeemer University.
Thanks for informing us of this great news! Prayers for God's strength and wisdom being offered for Keith Cassidy in his role as President of Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Academy as well as faculty and students on this exciting occasion. Hoping in time this school will be able to award graduate degrees as well.


Next week, Merseyside memorabilia specialist Omega Auctions is holding a sale of rock music artefacts, including photographic negatives of a 1975 Bob Marley concert, a leather jacket worn by Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy and Elvis Presley's bedside Bible. Perhaps the hottest lot, however, is a copy of Robert Greene's bestseller The 48 Laws of Power (1998), a self-help-ish tome that set out to assess the key factors by which the great figures of history obtained their clout. But this is no dog-eared paperback: this volume was once owned by none other than Michael Jackson, allowing us, says the auction house, 'a fascinating insight into the thoughts and interests of the King of Pop'.
Jackson, it seems, was quite the fan of Greene's work. This copy of the book is packed with the singer's own annotations and notes – 'including exclamations of "Wow", "True" and "Great"'. And there's more: 'The Moon comes every night so people don't care to look to the heavens,' he writes at one point. The book is expected to fetch a tidy £8,000.

Celebrating diversity and equality through volunteering
30th Jun 2020 Equality and Diversity
Pride celebrations have looked a little different this year, with festivals of joy, colour and vibrance moving from our streets to our screens.
As Pride Month 2020 draws to a close, our friends at Pride Sports help us shine a light on Out For Sport, the umbrella organisation linking more than 50 LGBT+ sports groups across London and the South East.
For 21 years, its members have been providing valuable support to each other in order to increase LGBT+ sport participation in and around the capital.
The group offers training sessions on areas such as marketing, governance and diversity and hosts annual events to help clubs get fit for the future, connect with new members and raise their profile.
They also coordinate campaigns targeting specific groups, like their successful 'Out and Active' initiative aimed at older LGBT+ people.
Most importantly, they're a forum for clubs to share their experience and knowledge - so that those who've been going for over 25 years and have hundreds of members, can help the ones which started last year with just a handful.
Nearly all of the members who make up Out For Sport are grassroots LGBT+ sports clubs. They were set-up by volunteers and they're run by volunteers.
Those volunteers are coaches, umpires, fundraisers and organisers who make sure clubs have pitches and courts to play on, insurance to keep them safe and kit to celebrate and enhance their identity.
Without people willing to give up their time and expertise, those clubs simply wouldn't exist, and neither would the sporting opportunities they provide.
Volunteers will take on even greater importance in the weeks and months ahead as sports and activities look to return safely as and when COVID-19 restrictions are eased.
If you're someone who is keen to get involved in sports volunteering, Out for Sport's website is a fantastic place to start. You'll find links to clubs in a wide range of sports, with thousands of members who are all keen for volunteers.
Alternatively, if you live outside London, check out Pride Sports' national directory of LGBT+ sports clubs.
You can also use our free Volunteer Opportunity Finder which will allow you to search more than 1500 roles by interest, activity or location and find one perfect for you.

Medical cannabis works through the endocannabinoid system, which regulates physical and mental processes in the body. The natural compounds found in cannabis called "cannabinoids" interact with the endocannabinoid system to help maintain a state of balance, or "homeostasis," in the mind and body by influencing how cells communicate with each other. For example, cannabinoids interact with the regulation of appetite, immune system functions and pain management.
Cannabinoids are compounds that interact with receptors in the endocannabinoid system – which has an important role in regulatory functions throughout the human body. Cannabinoids produced by the body are called "endocannabinoids", and those produced by plants like cannabis are called "phytocannabinoids". Cannabinoids are the compounds in the cannabis plant responsible for physiological effects of cannabis. To date, more than 104 cannabinoids have been identified in the plant, of which THC and CBD are the most well-known.
THC and CBD are the two most well-known cannabinoids with higher concentration in the cannabis plant. Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a non-psychoactive component of the cannabis plant. CBD is a cannabinoid that has many potential medical benefits without the lethargic or potential euphoric effects of THC. Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is the most famous cannabinoid. It is the cannabinoid responsible for potential euphoric effects from cannabis.

Indica and sativa are terms used to describe different types of cannabis plants. Sativa plants have narrower leaves and taller structure, while indica plants have wider leaves and a shorter, bushier structure. It is rare to find a strain that is 100% sativa or indica, as most strains are a combination of the two, so we refer to this broad category as a hybrid. A hybrid can be indica or sativa dominant depending on the genetics. Anecdotally, indica strains are most commonly associated with calming effects and pain relief, while sativas are usually associated with more uplifting effects.
The effect of a strain has more to do with the overall composition of its compounds, including cannabinoids, and how they respond with the user's unique body. For this reason, clinicians tend to focus more on the compounds in the cannabis plant, such as THC and CBD, to control patient symptoms – and sativa or indica simply refer to the general appearance of the plant.
Terpenes are the aromatic oils that provide the distinctive smells of each cannabis strain. Terpenes may also have unique health benefits. For more information on terpenes, click here.
Hemp oil can contain CBD; however, it is processed and manufactured quite differently. Hemp oil is mainly industrial and has an increased chance of contamination because it does not have to abide by the strict regulations of Health Canada. Most hemp oil is manufactured from pushing the oil out of the seeds. The yields are much smaller and require a larger material input to get a similar product. Hemp oils are mainly for topical use and not oral ingestion. Industrial hemp is often used to clean up toxic spills because it is a bio-accumulator, meaning it's great at drawing toxins from the soil. This means you could be ingesting toxins leached from the earth where your industrial hemp-derived CBD was grown. Additionally, the carrier oil we use for our CBD oil is of a higher grade than that of low-cost hemp oils. Learn more about the difference between hemp and CBD oils here.

There are a few reasons CannTrust chooses to use MCT (medium-chain triglycerides) oil. It has a neutral or tasteless flavour and longer shelf life than other known carrier oils such as sunflower oil. Though saturated fats as a group tend to get a bad rap, MCTs are saturated fats that actually provide beneficial health effects, like olive oil. MCTs are considered neutral saturated fats, known to help provide optimal nutrition to vulnerable populations.
How do I talk to my health care practitioner about medical cannabis?
Do some research ahead of time and come prepared with an idea of how you think cannabis could help you. Make sure your health care practitioner is aware of your medical background, any existing conditions you might have, and the medications you're currently taking, including information from other health care specialists (naturopath, chiropractor). If you're looking for a referral for a cannabis-educated practitioner, please contact our Customer Care team at 1-855-RX4-CANN (794-2266).
How do I get a medical document?

Please ensure the name on the card matches your file name, or we may not be able to find your account. If the name is different, please advise in the email.
What methods of consumption are available for me?
CannTrust offers a wide variety of products with different consumption methods to meet different needs. We offer products for oral ingestion, such as hard shell capsules and standardized oil drops, and we also offer dried flower products for smoking or vaporizing. Please visit our shop to see our full lineup.
What is the difference between vaporizing, smoking and oral consumption?
Vaporizing is similar to smoking, but is consumed through a device that prevents the product from actually combusting, and is a healthier alternative to smoking. Smoking and vaporizing have a faster onset (less than 5 minutes), but the effects do not last as long (3 to 4 hours). A healthier way to consume cannabis is through oral ingestion. Oral-based consumptions have a slower onset than vaporizing and smoking (60 to 90 minutes), but the effects can last much longer (4 to 8 hours).
How do I find the right dose?
Cannabis affects everyone differently, so it is important to receive guidance from your health care practitioner or from one of our knowledgeable Customer Care representatives. Please call us at 1-855-RX4-CANN (794-2266), and we'd be happy to walk you assist you to achieve the best outcomes with your medical cannabis.
How often should I dose?
This is entirely dependent on your symptoms, the conditions you are trying to treat, and the product you are using. Please consult your health care practitioner for guidance on the frequency of your dosing.
If I am taking drops, how many capsules equate to the amount of oil I am taking?
Readers are advised to do their own research and make decisions in partnership with and on the advice of their health care professional/medical professionals. Nothing herein should be relied upon to determine dietary changes, a medical diagnosis or courses of treatment.

Click here for full details on the program.
Will my insurance company or medical plan cover my medicinal cannabis?
Most insurance or medical plans require a Drug Identification Number (DIN) in order to provide coverage for costs of treatment. Since medical cannabis does not have a Drug Identification Number (DIN) assigned from Health Canada, not all companies will agree to cover cannabis as a form of medication. However, we encourage you to contact your insurance provider for more information as some insurance companies do offer coverage for cannabis.
If your provider confirms they do, please call our Customer Care team at 1-855-RX4-CANN (794-2266) with your provider's information (claim #, client # and client managers contact). This process can take 3 to 5 weeks. Once approved, you will receive an approval call from CannTrust.
Does CannTrust offer discounts or coverage for military veterans?
CannTrust proudly offers hassle-free access to Medical Cannabis for Canada's valued veterans. We work hand-in-hand with Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) to verify coverage, arrange direct billing, and ensure that the process is fully supported and seamless.
Upon registration approval, CannTrust will submit the appropriate documents required to apply for direct billing through VAC on your behalf. Be sure to include your K number on the registration form. We believe in making the process as simple as possible. CannTrust will pre-approve one order before we receive approval for coverage costs from VAC (up to 90 grams).
If you are approved for coverage with VAC, they will cover the cost of $8.50 per gram. CannTrust provides cost coverage on the difference for any of our dried/oil products that exceed that limit. This means that if you need a product that is over $8.50 per gram, CannTrust will pay the difference. Veterans are also able to claim $300 for a vaporizing device every three years. CannTrust will cover the difference between the device cost and the coverage cost from VAC.
For more details, please call one of our Customer Care team members at 1-855-RX4-CANN (794-2266) or email us at veterans@canntrust.ca.
Can I consume alcohol while taking cannabis?
We do not recommend consuming any alcohol while using medical cannabis.
Can I use cannabis with my other medications?
This depends entirely on the medication and the user. Always consult with your health care practitioner if you are taking other medications while taking medical cannabis.
Does cannabis have any side effects?
Patients generally tolerate medicinal cannabis well. A low dosage often provides satisfactory relief, allowing side effects to occur infrequently. When side effects do occur, it is usually the result of a high dosage, fast titration (increase in dosage) or combined use with a substance such as alcohol that intensifies the effects.
Known side effects of medicinal cannabis are dry mouth, mood-alterations, insomnia and a faster, increased heartbeat and fatigue. Other effects include relaxation, fits of laughter, hunger, and heightened sensitivity to the perception of colour and sound.
Patients may also experience slower reaction time and lower awareness, particularly during the first few hours of use. For more information, please review the Health Canada document entitled "Consumer Information—Cannabis (Marihuana, marijuana)". Should you experience any unexpected side effects while taking cannabis for medical purposes, stop consuming cannabis immediately and contact a health care practitioner or go to the emergency department of your nearest hospital.
Can I drive if I am taking cannabis?
How do I legally carry medical cannabis?
When you are in possession of your medical cannabis, you must carry it in the original packaging with a valid medical document label attached. This medical document label contains important information, including your unique identification number, the amount of medical cannabis that your physician prescribed and the date of expiry.
Am I able to travel with my medical cannabis?
Travelling with cannabis is legal in Canada, provided you have a valid medical document. Your medical cannabis is not legal outside of Canada. Please always ensure that your product is in its original packaging (with your medical document label) and you have your Client ID card with you.
Is CannTrust participating in the recreational market?
CannTrust will be expanding into the recreational cannabis market with the launch of three new brands, Liiv, Xscape and Synr.g, building on our established reputation for producing quality, standardized cannabis products.
What does legalization mean for CannTrust medical patients?
CannTrust's medical products will remain exclusive to our registered medical patients. Our focus has always been and will continue to be our medical patients first and foremost. We have expanded our facility so that we can increase our production capacity while maintaining the same quality and consistency our patients have come to expect from us. This will allow us to accommodate the growing demand for cannabis, both from our medical patients and the recreational market. Patients will still require a medical document to purchase medical cannabis and will still only be able to purchase directly from CannTrust.
Feel free to contact our Customer Care team for support.

Jeff Jarrett's Grand Plan for Global Force Wrestling
Double J on leaving TNA, starting over with GFW and why wrestling's future may still be rooted in its past

The man with the plan: Jeff Jarrett launches Global Force Wrestling.
Jeff Jarrett has been a wrestling mainstay for nearly 30 years. From his time in WWF and WCW to his reign as "King of the Mountain" in TNA – the promotion he co-founded in 2002 – Double J has long been the man with the stroke, both both inside the ring and behind the scenes. But when he left TNA in early 2014, it seemed that we might have seen the last of Jarrett in the business he was born into.
Turns out, his sabbatical was short-lived: In April 2014, he announced the founding of Global Force Wrestling. Since then, many questions have been asked about the promotion, yet few answers have been given. But on June 12, Global Force officially launched, with a live show at a minor league ballpark in Jackson, Tennessee. Can Jarrett build a true competitor to WWE from those humble beginnings? He's going to try, and with the collective might of several indie promotions behind him, he's got a plan in place – one that draws from wrestling's past, and might actually bring the business into the future.

Billy Corgan on Joining TNA, Changing the Culture of Wrestling
So I might as well ask the biggest question right off the bat: "What is Global Force Wrestling?"
It is a professional wrestling organization that we'd like to think will be forward-thinking and innovative. We have formed alliances with other promotions around the world so we can share talent and bring in talent. Every wrestler has a story. They've started in some organization. Over the past 15 years, all the organizations have sort of sat on an island. They don't interact at all. We look at it differently. We want other organizations to thrive. We want them to do as well as they can. It's a win-win for wrestling if that's the case. Thirty years ago, it wasn't uncommon for different promotions to share talent. You would load up a big card with wrestlers from other territories. It is a professional wrestling organization, first and foremost.
So would you characterize it as almost an "All Star" organization, with the best from all these different organizations coming together?
I wouldn't necessarily say that. We're going to have our core roster. We'll also have opportunities for wrestlers from around the world to come in and showcase their talents. They could be local stars, they could be regional stars, they could be international stars. We're going to give them an opportunity to get on the global stage. We'll have our core roster though. We'll have different matchups and different looks. As a wrestling fan, that excites me.
It is going to be different from the norm. A lot of people are having trouble understanding our mindset. It's exciting to me though. One big thing is that we're not really going to write stories, although that goes into professional wrestling. Instead, we're going to document stories. Like I said, every wrestler has a story. Why does he want to be in this business? What makes him tick as a human being? What is he competing for? The short answer is that he's competing to get the best bookings, he's competing to get the best matches. Maybe he's competing to sell the most T-shirts. There's a real competition in this business and we want to bring that to the forefront.
So you'll be focusing on competition, rather than storylines or angles?
Yes. Now, that being said, we will have some stories. When people start to see the product, I think they'll start to understand and gravitate towards it more. I can't to start our Grand Slam tour and then head out to Vegas.
Speaking of the Grand Slam tour, with the exception of some tapings in Las Vegas, all of GFW's scheduled shows right now are in baseball stadiums. Why did you choose to go that route?
The biggest factor is that I'm a third-generation performer. I have a lot of experience, and my family has a lot of experience in this business. I know that in 2015, creating brand awareness takes time, patience, money and forethought. But when we come into these towns, we're leveraging the baseball teams and their social media platforms, their advertising platforms, their fans and their season ticket base. We are spreading the word and creating the awareness by having the events there. It's a great opportunity for Global Force to get into these communities and go with a real grassroots, traditional approach. The stadiums and the baseball teams are the center of entertainment in most of these towns that we're going to. It's great to be aligned with them. If you haven't been to a minor league stadium, you ought to go. There's never a bad seat in the house, it's outdoors, it's a great place to watch a professional wrestling show.
Given how much wrestling is on TV now – WWE, TNA, Ring of Honor and Lucha Underground – what is going to set GFW apart from the pack?
The short answer is watch and see. I will say, though, that we want to truly focus on who these athletes are. The Bullet Club is legitimately the hottest faction in all of wrestling, and we'll talk about how they've come up through New Japan and continued to grow in popularity. Karl Anderson has a great story behind him, so does Doc Gallows, he's traveled the world. Chris Mordetzky [formerly Chris Masters] is one of the youngest guys ever signed by the WWE. Quite frankly, he'll probably admit it; he wasn't ready for it at the time. Now he's spent three or four years overseas, and he's ready to step into a Global Force ring and compete. PJ Black [Justin Gabriel], Lei'D Tapa, some wrestlers that maybe people haven't heard of. Guys like Andrew Everett and Chuck Taylor, I could go on and on. All these guys are chomping at the bit to get on this bigger stage.
Will you be a regular character on these shows, like you were in TNA?
No. I'm certainly not going to wrestle for the foreseeable future. I'm not going to say that I'm retired, but 99.9 percent of my time is going to be dedicated to promoting the brand and promoting the athletes of Global Force Wrestling.
Speaking of TNA, what made you leave?
It was just that my time was over in the organization. I just needed to close the door on that chapter in my life and move on. I have nothing but respect for the company and fond memories. The good, the bad and the ugly, the ups and downs, it was a great life experience. There's nothing that I regret, it was just time to move on.
Were there any pitfalls that you encountered in TNA that you will know to avoid in GFW?
You can't just sit back and rest on your laurels. You have to be forward-thinking and ahead of the curve. My biggest goal is going to be thinking – not just short-term, but long-term – about how every wrestling fan can have as much access to this product we're creating. You have to be really business-savvy to figure out how to incorporate the fans into every aspect of your product.
What's your take on the latest round of rumors about TNA, especially now that Ring of Honor has moved to Destination America?
I don't know what the facts are. Like everybody else, I'm waiting to see how it all plays out. There certainly has been a whirlwind of rumors going around. I certainly hope they're not true, because it's not good for the industry. I'm tickled to death for Ring of Honor to get this opportunity and I hope they put the best foot forward and blow the doors off.
You have several television tapings listed throughout the rest of 2015, but as of now, we haven't heard anything about any TV deals. Is the plan to bring GFW to a network, put it online, or something else entirely?
I will release that information when it's time to release it. We're in talks domestically and internationally. The international rights come into play just as much here.
After you signed Chael Sonnen to be your color guy on the broadcasts, there has been a lot of talk about Jim Ross coming on to do play-by-play. Any update?
We have agreed to keep discussions open at this point. Jim is doing a lot in his life. He has his one-man tour, he has other projects going on. I would love to have him join us.
You've been in the business for a long time, and, as you said, you've been through "the good, the bad and the ugly." So I'm wondering, what does success mean to you, especially when it comes to Global Force Wrestling?
It's the same as any business, and you have to think about it this way: Success is defined by whether you're profitable or not. In the short-term though, we want to make strides to make brand awareness. We want to put up compelling content with compelling wrestlers, and that will be a barometer of success. We just want to be a positive influence within the wrestling industry.

The Core – well what is it? As all personal trainers will know it is more than just the abdominal wall, it includes the bum, back and upper leg muscles. Core work targets all those muscles to improve the body's ability to stabilise, support and protect the lower back (spine and pelvis). This makes the entire body stronger and more stable for all activities. There is a huge variety of fun and effective exercises to create a healthy back whilst also giving you the flat stomach that everyone desires.

Q: How to make a for loop where the variables I loop throw are similar except the number at the end? I have a lot of arrays where the index number of the array is the same as the end of my variable name. I want to be able to run a for loop, and assign the CropGrapes variables to the Grapes array, i haved tried but can´t seem to find out how.
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Tilemaps;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using System;

public class CropHandler : MonoBehaviour
{

// Sprites of Grapes
public Tile CropGrapes1;
public Tile CropGrapes2;
public Tile CropGrapes3;
public Tile CropGrapes4;
public Tile CropGrapes5;
public Tile CropGrapes6;
public Tile[] Grapes;

public void Start()
{
    Grapes[0] = CropGrapes1;
    Grapes[1] = CropGrapes2;
    Grapes[2] = CropGrapes3;
    Grapes[3] = CropGrapes4;
    Grapes[4] = CropGrapes5;
    Grapes[5] = CropGrapes6;

for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++)
    {
        Grapes[i] = CropGrapes_i
    }
}

I am using Unity and coding in c#

A: You can use Reflection to get a list of all the fields and filter them by name. You could then parse the name in some way to get the index number, assign the field info and the number to an anonymous type, loop over them and use the GetValue method to get the value.
Try something like this:
class Class1
{
    public Tile CropGrapes1;
    public Tile CropGrapes2;
    public Tile CropGrapes3;
    public Tile CropGrapes4;
    public Tile CropGrapes5;
    public Tile CropGrapes6;
    public Tile[] Grapes = new Tile[6];

    public void Start()
    {
        var fields = this.GetType()
            .GetFields()
            .Where(f => f.Name.StartsWith("CropGrapes"))
            .Select(f => new { Field = f, Index = int.Parse(f.Name.Substring("CropGrapes".Length)) })
            .OrderBy(f => f.Index);

        for (int i = 0; i < fields.Count(); i++)
        {
            Grapes[i] = fields.Single(f => f.Index == i + 1).Field.GetValue(this) as Tile;
        }
    }
}

Rat Menace
Moushumi Mohanty

August 12: About 26 people in Mumbai and nearby Thane died recently due to a strange fever. Initially the doctors in Mumbai were unsure which disease had afflicted these people, because no tests were conducted to find out the nature of the fever.
Most patients had avoided getting the test done because it cost a lot of money (Rs. 750) and they did not see why they should spend so much money for what appeared to be just an ordinary fever. That is, until people started dying like flies and newspapers began writing about it.
Finally, the doctors got moving. And the National Institute of Virology in Pune got into action. Doctors, who conducted postmortems on the bodies of the victims, found that the disease responsible for the deaths of all these people was called leptospirosis.
Leptospirosis is an infectious disease transmitted from rat urine to human beings. Doctors realized that almost all the patients had caught the fever after wading through the stagnant puddles caused by the monsoons in Mumbai.
The Municipal Corporation of Mumbai realised it had a job on its hands. It had to flush out all the disease-spreading rats from Mumbai. So, it came upon a plan: to include the common man in its cleaning drive.
Rat Menace [Illustration by Shiju George]
The BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has now declared that anyone who kills a rat and submits it to the Corporation, can earn Rs. 5. But, it has a condition: a minimum of five dead rats must be submitted at a time at any of the BMC's local offices.
Mrs Khanolkar, who works in the insecticide department of BMC told The Hindustan Times newspaper that the Corporation has 44 permanent rat catchers on its payroll. And there are 137 others who arrange for rat-traps, make house calls and prepare the poison to get rid of the rodents.
Obviously, the number of people employed for this job is not enough to rid the city of rats. Which is why the BMC came up with this novel way of coping with the rat-menace. Not only would they get rid of the disease-causing rats, people would be more than happy earning some money from the enterprise too.

However the thread that gets created doesn't have any title as you can see on the following screen capture.

So the question is: how can I create a chat thread with a subject from the Microsoft Graph API?
Edit: here is the payload I get for the message "title from teams" (which was created from the UI), note is contains a subject attribute.
{
            "replyToId": null,
            "etag": "1537198542791",
            "messageType": "message",
            "createdDateTime": "2018-09-17T15:35:42.791Z",
            "lastModifiedDateTime": null,
            "deleted": false,
            "subject": "title from teams",
            "summary": null,
            "importance": "normal",
            "locale": "en-us",
            "id": "1537198542791",
            "from": {
                "application": null,
                "device": null,
                "user": {
                    "id": "c2e8df37-c6a7-4d88-89b1-feb4f1fda7c5",
                    "displayName": "Vincent Biret",
                    "identityProvider": "Aad"
                }
            },
            "body": {
                "contentType": "text",
                "content": "wvwvwevw"
            },
            "attachments": [],
            "mentions": [],
            "reactions": []
        }

A: There is no "subject" for a post in Microsoft Teams. These are chat threads, not email threads. The only content is the body:
{
  "rootMessage": {
      "body": {
        "contentType": 1,
        "content": "
Hello world
"
      }
  }

The cost of better customer outcomes hits CBA
Customer remediation costs are not the only consequence for the banks from their misconduct. As the latest Commonwealth Bank financial report reveals, changes to fees and charges are having a big impact as well, and they will be longer lasting.
Last week, the bank announced that operating income was down 4 per cent in the March quarter, compared with the average of the September and December quarters. That followed a 2 per cent fall in operating income in the December half.
The fall in revenue is due, in part, to the Better Customer Outcomes program, which is a mix of regulatory requirements and voluntary initiatives. It includes a change to the calculation of interest on credit cards, removal of ongoing wealth management service fees, everyday bank fee changes, overdrawn approval fee changes and the ATM fee removal.
On an annualised basis, these pricing changes are currently worth $415 million of income foregone. And they are ongoing.
In a note to clients, Macquarie Securities says it is downgrading its earnings forecast for the bank by about 5 per cent, "as a result of higher than expected remediation expenses in the near term and revenue challenges, predominantly relating to non-interest income, in the medium term.
Macquarie rates CBA stock 'underperform'. It says that "on an underlying basis, revenue conditions remain challenging."
On the remediation side, the bank made additional provisions of $714 million in the March quarter, adding to the $282 million of provisions it booked in the December half.
The latest provisions included $334 million for aligned advice remediation and program costs, $72 million for wealth customer remediation, $152 million for business banking customer remediation and $156 million for other program costs (including regulatory responses).
The bank says: "While these additional provisions are estimates that may change, the bank believes it has adequately provided for currently known banking and wealth customer remediation. The bank will continue to
The latest provisions take the total cost of the bank's customer remediation program and regulatory update to $2.2 billion.
As a result of the March quarter provisions, unaudited cash profit for the quarter is down 28 per cent, compared with the average of the September and December quarters.
Taking the $714 million provision out of the equation, cash profit of $2.4 billion for the quarter was down 9 per cent on the average of the previous two quarters.
Arrears on personal loans, credit cards and home loans were all higher during the quarter. Home loan arrears (past due by 90 days or more) rose from 67 basis points in the December half to 71 bps in the March quarter.

Men Like Gods
Publisher: Wildside Press, 2009
Sphere, 1976
Macmillan Publishing, 1923
Original English publication, 1922
Alternate/Parallel Universe
"Men Like Gods" is a 1922 novel written by H. G. Wells. It features a utopian parallel universe.
The hero of the novel, Mr. Barnstaple, is a depressive journalist in the newspaper "The Liberal." At the beginning of the story, Mr. Barnstaple, as well as a few other Englishmen, are accidentally transported to the parallel world of Utopia.
Utopia is like an advanced Earth, although it had been quite similar to Earth in the past in a period known to Utopians as the "Days of Confusion." Utopia is a utopian world: it has a utopian socialist world government, advanced science, and even pathogens have been eliminated and predators are almost tamed.
Barnstaple is confounded and confused by the utopian attitudes: "where is your government ?" he asks. "our government is in our education" is the answer. Barnstaple gradually loses his Victorian English narcissism. For instance, Wells makes comments on personal responsibility when Barnstaple sees a person slaving over a rose garden at high altitude and asks, "Why don't you hire a gardener?" The answer is, "The working class has vanished from utopia years ago! He who loves the rose must then serve that rose." Barnstaple is changed by those experiences and he loses his Eurocentric view of the world and starts to really get the idea of the place. As this conversion starts to take place, Utopians begin to fall ill.
This, however, means that the newly arrived Earthlings pose a grave threat to Utopians, as the latter's immune system has become weak; and the Earthlings have to be quarantined until a solution is found. They resent this isolation and some of them plot to take over Utopia...


The Congregational Agricultural Development Programme (CADeP) aims to improve the livelihoods of religious communities by ensuring efficient use of land available to guarantee sustainability, food security and income. Through agricultural training, the programme empowers each of the participants to realise their own development and that of their community. The program support the beneficiaries' with farm grants i.e. water tanks, farm tools and funding for special projects.
A total of 113 brothers and sisters have undergone the training. All the brothers and sisters of CADeP benefit from a diverse training programme, including soil and water conservation, livestock keeping, crop and livestock husbandry, vegetable growing, food processing, farm record keeping and agro-forestry. The skills and knowledge gained have enabled the trainees to manage resources under their care and make the best use of the available local materials. Since the intervention, a considerable amount of land has been opened up to plant a variety of crops providing the community with sufficient food, even surplus for selling at market. As a result, the trained brothers and sisters have improved nutrition, income and are working towards sustainability within their communities.

"This is the right way to get our band back into it"
Mini Mansions drummer Mikey Schuman has opened up on the band's plans for the future as they prepare to release their new EP.
Yesterday, the Los Angeles band announced that they will return on September 28 with their 'Works Every Time' EP, as well as sharing the title track.
Speaking to NME, Schuman described how an EP was the perfect place for the group to return after 2015's 'The Great Pretenders'.
"It's been a long time of touring, so this is the right way to get our band back into it", Schuman explained.
Hello friends and fans of the mansions family, thank you for staying engaged with our music. We're really excited to start sharing what we have been growing in the greenhouse.
"To get us reacquainted with it is the right way to start. We're planning a long term thing and this is the best way to start.
Schuman also opened up on what to expect from the EP, explaining how his recent "life experiences" had shaped it.
"In the past, we've hid behind a fantastical ways to putting our feelings down on paper. In the last few years, I've had a lot of changes and life experiences that made me more meaningful", he said.
"That was a big thing in our writing, and we wanted to speak to the truth and not hide behind any masks.
And with a strong association between Mini Mansion and Arctic Monkeys, Schuman was quick to praise 'Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino'.
"I love it. Tyler from Mansions recorded on that record and he's now touring on keys", he said.
