2017 ATP Rotterdam Preview and Predictions
One of the strongest ATP 500 level tournaments of the year will take place once again in Rotterdam, as many of the ATP World Tour's best have included a stop in Holland on their 2017 spring tour calendars. Here is a preview, with predictions of all the action.
Surface: Indoor Hard
Prize Money: €1,724,930
Top 4 seeds (ATP ranking in parentheses)
1: Marin Cilic (7)
2: Dominic Thiem (8)
3: David Goffin (11)
4: Tomas Berdych (12)
Despite a lack of top 5 players, Rotterdam boasts seeds that are all ranked in the ATP top 20, and nearly all of the opening round matches feature quality ATP caliber contests, the winner will not have had an easy road to the title.
First round matches to watch:
(1)Marin Cilic vs. Benoit Paire
Cilic will have to lean on a 2-1 h2h edge against his French opponent, as he's endured a miserable start to his season, with just one win in three matches. Despite being the top seed, he drew a difficult opponent in Paire, who has enough weapons to upset higher ranked players, and this time is entering Rotterdam in good form, after reaching the semifinals in Montpellier. Cilic is the favorite, but I'll go with Paire to continue his good form. The Croatian #1 has looked lost in matches thus far in 2017 and Paire won't let him find rhythm.
Viktor Troicki vs. Richard Gasquet
Gasquet has won his last two matches against Troicki but they have split the h2h 2-2, and Troicki isn't in bad form, coming off of the quarterfinals in Sofia. The Montpellier finalist Gasquet may be fatigued entering Rotterdam, which would give Troicki a shot, but otherwise the French veteran's shotmaking should allow him to advance.
(5)Grigor Dimitrov vs. Mischa Zverev
A first time between this pair, Dimitrov is red hot and on the cusp of entering the top 10 after winning his second title of the season at home in Sofia. Zverev lost his opening match in Montpellier, and looked to be back down to earth after a run to the quarterfinals in Melbourne. Dimitrov is a clear favorite given his red hot form, but if he's fatigued, Zverev's serve and volley could flummox him.
Alexander Zverev vs. (2)Dominic Thiem
After three straight wins by Thiem, Zverev finally got a victory at the end of last year against his fellow young gun. The young German is 6-1 on tour to start the season, as he took the title in Montpellier, showing no signs of frustration after his struggles in Davis Cup play. Thiem has lost two straight matches and has been somewhat pedestrian so far in 2017, presuming Zverev isn't out of gas, despite being lower ranked, he should be the favorite.
Top Half:
The winner of Cilic/Paire will draw a young gun, either Russia's Karen Khachanov or Croatia's Borna Coric. Coric hasn't won a match since last Summer, while Khachanov hasn't played his best either, that sets up Paire to defeat Khachanov and reach the quarterfinals, opposite Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Tsonga, a semifinalist in Montpellier, is slated to face 18 year old Stefanos Tsitsipas, a Greek talent who is making his ATP main draw debut, with most likely Sydney champion and Sofia quarterfinalist Gilles Muller to follow. Muller opens with Dutch wild card Tallon Griekspoor, age 20, who is also making his ATP main draw debut. Tsonga should beat the young Greek, Muller, and Paire to reach the semifinals, putting him one match away from his former best result in Rotterdam, where he was finalist in 2011. Tsonga is 3-0 in the h2h vs. Paire, and 2-1 vs. Muller at the tour level.
The Gasquet/Troicki winner will take on former champion Tomas Berdych, presuming Berdych puts away qualifier Marius Copil, who plays a poorer version of his style of tennis. Berdych leads Gasquet 8-7 in the h2h, and has won the last two meetings, however, Gasquet is likely in better form, and thus I have the Frenchman prevailing to reach the quarterfinals. Defending champion Martin Klizan opens his title defense against Fernando Verdasco. Klizan trails Verdasco in the h2h, but finally found a bit of form, reaching the quarterfinals in Sofia last week. Klizan likely wins in round 1, but the winner of Philipp Kohlschreiber/Lucas Pouille will be a tough opponent in round 2. Kohlschreiber may not be totally fit, while Pouille hasn't played well this season, thus I have Klizan reaching the quarterfinals before falling to Gasquet.
Bottom Half:
The winner of Zverev/Thiem will face a veteran, either Gilles Simon or Nicolas Mahut, Simon has a h2h edge over Mahut, while Zverev is in the best form of this section, setting him up to at least reach the quarterfinals. Spanish veteran Feliciano Lopez hasn't played great thus far in 2017, but he gets the best draw of any player in the tournament. Qualifier Pierre-Hugues Herbert is his first opponent, with qualifier Evgeny Donskoy or Marcel Granollers to follow. Lopez should ease past Donskoy in round 2, before falling to Zverev in the quarterfinals.
Sofia finalist David Goffin is likely to get a rematch of that final with Grigor Dimitrov in the quarterfinals. Dimitrov faces lucky loser Denis Istomin or qualifier Aljaz Bedene after facing the older Zverev brother, while Goffin opens with Russia's Andrey Kuznetsov, who is struggling, with Robin Haase or Florian Mayer to follow. Given Dimitrov just beat Goffin in Sofia, and before that Melbourne, Dimitrov is the favorite to reach the semifinals from this section.
Dark Horse: Benoit Paire
Fellow Frenchman Gilles Simon could make a run from the bottom half, but Paire has the most upside here. He has a winnable match against Cilic, and a path to the quarterfinals. Tsonga is a tough opponent, but he's also not unbeatable, and this is a great chance at ranking points for the mercurial Paire.
Tsonga d. Gasquet
Dimitrov d. Zverev
Tsonga has won his last three contests against Gasquet, it should be a close contest if they meet in the semis, but Tsonga's aggressive play likely gives him an edge.
Despite a 2-1 h2h lead for Zverev, Dimitrov has been playing top 5 caliber tennis this season. Fatigue should weigh on both players equally, but it's hard to pick against Dimitrov's positive form right now.
Dimitrov d. Tsonga
Despite Tsonga leading the h2h 4-0, Dimitrov is simply playing better, and should finally be able to overcome his opponent in this potential final.

Turkey's secularism challenged
Opposition fears religious conservatism gaining the upper hand.
Barnaby Phillips
Religious conservatism and Western values live side by side in Turkey, but some fear a shift
Every morning the children of Turkey swear allegiance, not to God, but to a man: Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, father of the republic.
But in the town of Denizli, some teachers worry that Ataturk's secular vision is being threatened.
A book called Prayer as the Anchor of Religion, secretly distributed to the children by a deputy headmaster who has since moved on, encapsulates that fear.
Dikmen Onat, a Denizli teacher, says the book advocates jihad and it proves that the government is steering education in a religious direction.
She said: "I've been a teacher for 24 years, and so many things have changed, especially in the last four years.
"Our education system was always based on the principles of secularity and uniformity, but this is now being challenged."
The opposition fears religion
is being pushed in schools
The grand opening of one student hostel – celebrated with dances, customary clothing, trumpets, drums and all the trappings of tradition – is the kind of event that worries secularists.
Inside are religious students and the hostel is run by a small religious political party called Buyuk Birlik, or the Grand Union party.
At the hostel, the boys get cheap accommodation, and a dose of religious education.
So perhaps, in these hostels, a new, pious Turkey is being built.
Opponents of the government say Denizli has become a much more conservative and devout town in recent years.
But the government says it is absolutely committed to respecting Turkey's secular constitution.
Sahin Tin, who is running for parliament for the ruling AK party says his party is not plotting to introduce sharia, or Islamic law – it is more concerned with economic growth.
Ataturk, father of the Turks, believed Turkey
had to adopt Western values to succeed
"I have been an AK party member for five years and in that time I've never been to a party meeting where thoughts are expressed against the republic.
"We don't have secret agendas or meetings, these are rumours put forward by parties that cannot win fair elections. Our record speaks for itself," he said.
In Denizli market, religious conservatism and Western values can be found side by side.
Turkey has always struggled to balance these.
The opposition fears conservatism now has the upper hand, but the government says the two forces are still in harmony.

If you ask your favorite Yoga teacher, a well-respected guru across the world, the woman who sits next to you at work, and yourself: What is Yoga?"…you'll get very different answers. And as long as each person is answering genuinely to their experience practicing, teaching, or learning about Yoga, their answer is correct!
Yoga presents a different path for every Yogi, whether they have been practicing for one day or ten years. Yoga is in everything. The physical practice that we know from the media and that is commonly practiced in studios is Yoga Asana.
If you want to start your journey to finding your Yoga, don't look to Instagram. Don't look to clothing brands that sell leggings or celebrities that promise a perfect body through practice. Find your Yoga by looking inward and we promise you will find it. It is the union between body and mind, between yourself and the universe. Yoga Asana practice can help you find that union.
Whether you are trying Yoga for the first time or want to move deeper into your practice, taking the initial steps can be intimidating. Practicing with strangers or trying new poses for the first time does not always feel comfortable. But you can feel comfort knowing that each Yogi in the studio with you is on a journey as well. Everyone has completed a first Yoga class. Everyone has fallen out of a pose.
Embrace this discomfort and tension by staying in the present moment. Breathe. After you have completed a class or a pose, remember to stay in the moment and move past what did or did not happen during your practice. The most important part of your Yoga journey is not what happened yesterday or what will happen tomorrow; the most important part of your Yoga journey is right now.
There are many different types of Yoga to pursue and enjoy, but what is best for you?
Start this journey by writing down what you are looking for in your Yoga practice. While one Yogi may look for a calming morning routine, another Yogi may want to feel more present in their body. These goals may change every day, and that is okay.
Enter a space that makes you comfortable to experiment, fail, try something new and take rests when you need them. As you attend different classes, notice how your body moves and feels before, during and after practice. Journal your experiences and reflect on how your Yoga practice is affecting the way you move through the outside world. Yoga is a practice that takes the weight off of our lives, whether that weight is caused by stress, anxiety, depression, etc.
Similarly, when you attend a Yoga class that brings you peace, reflect on those moments. What about the experience helped you focus and find calm? Think about more than just the type of yoga or the teacher. How did you approach the class? Were there any moments when you felt yourself struggling or frustrated, and how did you address those moments?
Finding your Yoga does not take one or two classes. Yoga is a lifelong journey that isn't always a straight line toward peace and calm.
Don't let membership and drop-in prices deter you from finding your Yoga. Bring what you can to our Friday donation-based classes, taught by newly qualified teachers to practice teaching.
Meditation through constant movement. For Yogis who are more comfortable with a more physical, sweaty flow, I Am That – Yoga offers a variety of power and vinyasa classes. Temperatures range from 24-34°C. Check our Classes Offered page to learn more about the vibes and temperatures for each class.
Perfect for those who like a steady flow of poses but also like to take it slow. Take your time getting in and out of asanas, hold them a little bit longer than in a vinyasa flow and discover your body, space and breath while in them.
The foundation of all asana practice, Hatha yoga is the more traditional approach to physical posture practice, that the other forms derived from. Less dynamic and more focused on alignment, breath, mindful movement and meditation, Hatha classes are the best place to get started and truly learn what yoga asana is.
Treat yourself to a gentle and restorative class, taught by candlelight. Candlelit classes are offered in the evening and offer a flow for Yogis on different parts of their journey.
They come in all forms and formats and have one goal alone: to help you become more present, more grounded in the now and more universally conscious of the fact that everything you need is within you.
The path through Yoga isn't all handstands and vinyasas. Yoga allows each of us to enter a space where we release tension and anything that is weighing us down. Enjoy deep, gentle stretches and fill up your cup with yin classes or find deep rest in restorative classes throughout the week.
So what is Yoga? Yoga is EVERYTHING. With all this variety in Yoga, you are bound to find your own. Our studio is located right off of Smith Street in Collingwood, less than 50m from an 86 tram stop at Keele Street. Join us for some yoga, a cup of tea and a chat with our friendly and welcoming team, about how each of these practices can be integrated into your Yoga journey.

Fear of Clowns
Donna L December 10, 2014 0 Comments
Why The Fear of Clowns?
Coulrophobia is the fear of clowns.
Jospeh Grimaldi (Wikipedia Photo)
From early on, clowns were portrayed as very disturbed men. Joseph was a famous 19th century clown in England. Joseph Grimaldi had a lengthy career as an entertaining clown with an dark side as a result of a deteriorating relationship with theatrical management.
Grimaldi's wife Maria and her unborn child died during childbirth on October 18, 1800. As a result, Grimaldi worked on stage excessively to deal with his ongoing grief. While playing in The Great Devil the following spring, he accidentally injured himself on stage by shooting himself in the foot. He was confined to bed for five weeks. His mother became so concerned at her son's fragile and grief-stricken state that she employed a dancer by the name of Mary Bristow, to care for him full-time. Grimaldi and Bristow fell in love and married on December 24, 1801. They later had a son who was named Joseph Samuel. As the years passed, the family relationship was strained and remained that way due to Joseph Samuel's growing alcoholism, run-ins with the law and his eventual time spent in a debtor's prison. He died at the age of 30 under suspicious circumstances.
Grimaldi as Joseph The Clown (Wikipedia)
Grimaldi sustained numerous injuries over the years and his health was rapidly declining. He finally retired in 1823 and he became an alcoholic and was depressed. He outlived his wife and son and died at home in 1837 at the age of 58.
After he died in 1837, Charles Dickens was asked to edit the clown's memoirs and the subsequent publications, spread Grimaldi's story everywhere. It is believed that Dickens drew the first scary clown images through the memoirs and created a figure who was destroying himself in order to make the audience laugh. The notion that there might be something dark and troubled under make-up is a fear that has lasted for many years.
About the same time in France, Jean-Gaspard Deburau's mime-style character, Pierrot was becoming very popular. The clown had a white face, red lips and black eyebrows and was loved by audiences until his evil side was revealed. In 1836, Deburau beat a boy to death after the boy shouted an insult at him in the street. Deburau used a walking stick to kill the child.
Jean Gaspard Deburau (Wikipedia Photo)
Originally clowns were used to provide a form of comic relief to dangerous circus acts held at equestrian shows held in a circular arena. They needed to make themselves more visible and started to use very bright colors, crazy behavior and big gestures. While clowns were for children's entertainment, the creep factor remained and made one wonder who was under that makeup.
The circus arrived in America in the late 19th century and grew into a three ringed traveling show that moved from town to town by train. Next came television with clowns such as Bozo, Clararbell and Ronald McDonald.
The Experts Say
The fear of clowns starts during childhood when children learn to differentiate between strangers and non-strangers.
According to statistics, all adults grow out of their fear of painted clown faces with the exception of 2 percent of the population.
Often clowns become aggressive in attempts to make someone laugh.
Clowns are here to stay.
The dark and frightening clown remains dominant and persists in many ways.
Evil Clowns
Killer Clowns?
The legacy of frightening clowns has continued over the years with the likes of these individuals. Some were high profile media cases that brought horror eerily close to us and right into our homes.
John Wayne Gacy, seriel killer who dressed up as Pogo the Clown.

Amon Paul Carlock Jr., police officer, pedophile, who dressed up as Klutzo the Clown and entertained children through the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program.
West Pam Beach Killer Clown, never identified, murdered Marlene Warren in 1990 after she opened her front door to a clown holding flowers and silver balloons. Marlene was shot once in the face. Her case has never been solved.

Divided we stand. Together we win. Climate diplomacy and Covid-19
Dennis Tänzler (adelphi)
© Perry Grone/unsplash.com
Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous parallels have been drawn between this health crisis and the climate crisis. Science plays an important role in advising decision makers on how to ensure sustainable crisis management and a precautionary approach to avoid harmful repercussions, particularly where we do not yet know all the consequences of our actions. Intergenerational solidarity also plays a meaningful role. Thanks especially to the Fridays for Future movement, 2019 was a key year for the younger generation to ask for solidarity from older ones in light of the tremendous effects of current and future climatic changes. Nowadays, the older generation can expect this kind of solidarity from the young generation, given their increased vulnerability to COVID-19-related risks.
Furthermore, the devastating effects of the Coronavirus illustrate how a world driven by great interconnectedness is vulnerable to even greater disruptions such as climate change—and how quickly this translates into a financial crisis. Global stock markets reported losses of USD 16 trillion in over the past month. Pressures in one region of the globe can significantly affect supply chains in others, causing massive systemic risks. COVID-19 has and will continue to have catastrophic consequences for people's well-being. The impacts on human health and millions of unemployed people are a tragedy in itself. According to a recently published paper by UNU-WIDER, the economic impact of COVID-19 could increase global poverty for the first time in three decades, pushing an additional 420-580 million people into poverty.
Participants in political events also drew parallels between the two crises. During the Petersberg Climate Dialogue in April, for example, Svenja Schulze, German Federal Environment Minister, not only referred once again to the important task of listening to scientists. She and other colleagues from the Environment Ministries also stressed the need to link the recovery to the imperatives of decarbonisation and to forge green deals. This should guide countries through the process of recovery in the aftermath of the COVID-19 crisis (whenever that may be). In addition to recovery, resilience-strengthening is a shared responsibility of both agendas – especially from a global perspective and with regard to countries in fragile contexts – as is also outlined in the United Nations report "Shared Responsibility, Global Solidarity", published in March as an initial reaction to the health crisis.
There is an urgent need for both green recovery and strengthening of resilience. We dig deeper into these topics in this issue of the newsletter, with articles looking into compound crises in times of COVID-19 in countries such as Brazil, climate diplomacy lessons for tackling the health crisis, and coping with the pandemic's impacts on fossil fuel markets.
Climate diplomacy can help tackle the COVID-19 crisis
Solutions to the current COVID-19 crisis need to be aligned to those of the climate crisis for a global transformation towards more sustainability, resilience, equity, and justice. Climate diplomacy has the tools to achieve these objectives simultaneously.
Coronavirus shows we are not at all prepared for the security threat of climate change
How might a single threat, even one deemed unlikely, spiral into an evolving global crisis which challenges the foundations of global security, economic stability and democratic governance, all in the matter of a few weeks?

A major challenge in the field of environmental peacebuilding is showing the impact of its initiatives. Questions emerge, such as "Which dimensions of post-conflict peacebuilding are more likely to be affected by natural resource management projects?". Although quantitative studies assess the relation between natural resource management programmes and conflict risks, there is less research on what the specific mechanisms involved in implementing projects designed for environmental peacebuilding are.

South Asia could profit from targeted policies on climate migration
Dhanasree Jayaram, MAHE
A lack of targeted policies to manage climate migration in South Asia is aggravating the vulnerabilities of various communities in the region. International and regional cooperation and strategy on climate action (broadly) and climate migration (specifically) is the need of the hour.
The United States is at a critical juncture in its future climate policy directions. Biden's electoral victory and the appointment of former Secretary of State John Kerry as special envoy present opportunities, yet America remains deeply divided. By engaging in transatlantic climate cooperation not only with allies, but also sceptical parts of society, Europe can help drive the climate conversation forward.

Obama Loses Ground With Calif. Voters In Latest Field Poll

SACRAMENTO (CBS/AP) — A new Field Poll finds that support for President Barack Obama has slipped 10 points in the last five months among California voters.
In a poll released Tuesday, Field said just 52 percent approve of the job the president is doing, down from 62 percent in February.
Obama's popularity surged after his re-election last November, and 57 percent say they still have a favorable overall opinion of him.
But Field Poll director Mark DiCamillo told KNX 1070 NEWSRADIO the drop may have been fueled largely by reports of government surveillance into personal emails and other communications.

"That's kind of surprised many of his core supporters, and I think that's really contributing to this recent decline," DiCamillo said.
Field says the biggest decline is among typical supporters such as registered Democrats, Independents, women and voters under age 40. The poll did not ask why respondents felt the way they did.
It was based on telephone interviews with 846 registered voters from June 26 to July 21 and has a sampling error rate of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

A group of anonymous Stanford students gave college kids everywhere an online tutorial last week on how to find out who helped them get into school—and who trashed them behind the scenes.
The Fountain Hopper newsletter posted a Five-Step Plan™ explaining how students can request copies of their admission records from the university using the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). After a 45-day wait, they can peruse essays written about them by admissions officers, numerical valuations of their personalities, letters of recommendation, descriptions of interviews and other information generally regarded as confidential.
Except everyone doesn't get to see everything, according to the Times. A lot of schools use The Common App, an undergraduate college admission application used to streamline the process and encourage schools to offer a holistic admissions process that includes subjective and objective criteria.
The app also encourages prospective students to leave checked a little box that says they won't ask to see letters of recommendation from high school counselors and teachers. But if the box is unchecked, it's all fair game.
FERPA was not designed as a backdoor into confidential files. The 1974 Act was meant to give parents and students access to records for the purpose of amending them and controlling their disclosure.
Now, according to The Fountain Hopper, more than 700 have clicked on the interactive guide and expanded the FERPA's reach. Among the handy resources provided by the site is a pleasant, nicely worded access request example.
It's written by a Stanford law student in imposing legalese with an optional paragraph that threatens revocation of all the university's federal education funds if compliance is not forthcoming.

Bible dystopian fantasy New Testament The Chiveis Trilogy series
Teo commits himself to finding a copy of the New Testament but refuses to turn his back on what he considers his first mission — to protect Ana. Book 2 of the Chiveis Trilogy, adult dystopian fantasy by Bryan Litfin.
Bryan Litfin · for adult readers · March 2011
Pure evil pitted against sacrificial love and God's truth.
Ana and Teo have chosen to leave their home and families rather than deny Deu — the Creator God whom they have come to know and love.
After an adventure that almost takes Ana's life, they arrive in Ulmbartia where they encounter others who believe as they do. But just like them, their new friends do not possess a copy of the last part of the sacred writings.
However, some of the traditions of their faith have survived, though what these things mean, none can say.
When circumstances separate Teo and Ana, they take wildly different paths. He commits himself to finding a copy of the New Testament but refuses to turn his back on what he considers his first mission — to protect Ana.
Book 2 of the Chiveis Trilogy — adult dystopian fantasy.
Rebecca LuElla Miller says:
While I wasn't immersed in the story, I still enjoyed it and am glad I had the chance to read The Gift. Overall, I thought the book was a fine sophomore novel that showed stronger writing than the debut it follows.
This one will be a book those who love fantasy and who want a story with a Christian worldview will enjoy. I suspect there will be more Litfin fans coming on board because of The Gift.

Become Successful Like André Rieu
This Way You May Become
Just As Successful As André Rieu
IN THREE LESSONS
King of the Waltz André Rieu not only draws sold-out venues, but also runs his own billion Euro business. How does he do that? In three lessons you can be just as successful as the world's best-known Maastricht Citizen.
By Priscilla van Agteren, Algemeen Dagblad - The now 68-year-old Rieu built his business from scratch. He was first taunted for his love for the waltz, now he is a world star with his well-groomed shows. And everything he does - concerts, CDs, DVDs - he does in-house.
Author Johan Nebbeling dedicated a book "Thinking like André Rieu" to the lessons that can be learned from the success of this Maastricht resident. Nebbeling based his book on various biographies, including Rieu's "Maestro without borders" and dozens of articles. "In addition to the excellent violinist and variety entertainer he is, he is above all a great entrepreneur and an eminent businessman. The violinist, showman and entrepreneur André Rieu is someone from whom we can learn a lot.
Three Lessons From Rieu
Lesson 1. Dare to dream and dream big
When at the end of the 1980's Rieu decided to concentrate on the waltz, it was a daring choice. Where classical music was already viewed as a strange duck in the hit parades, this style was seen as hopelessly old-fashioned. But Rieu had a dream, and held on to it at any cost. The definitive breakthrough came in 1994, when his performance of Shostakovich's "Second Waltz" stood in the Mega Top 50 for 30 weeks.
But he was not done yet. Rieu risked a performance in 1995 during the halftime rest period of the Champions League match between Ajax and Bayern Munich, which was a huge gamble. The soccer public was eagerly waiting for an intermezzo of classical music. The fans reacted very enthusiastically and sang loudly along . His fame had started. A year later he founded André Rieu Productions Holding BV, with all shares held by himself and his wife Marjorie Rieu-Kochmann.
In the 30 years that followed, Rieu has played all over the world. But he never stopped dreaming. He would also like to perform a concert on the moon, he once said.
Lesson 2. Make your employees your family and treat them accordingly.
In 2018 André Rieu is the head of a company with approximately one hundred permanent employees, which he treats like family. Some of them really are actually his family members. He governs the company with his wife Marjorie and - increasingly - his son Pierre. Rieu is a family man through and through and watches over the welfare of his immediate family members and likes to spend as much time as possible with them. In addition, he maintains a warm relationship with all his orchestra members and the other employees. When Rieu is on his international tours, they are on the road for weeks . Rieu ensures that his musicians not only 'click' with him, but also with his choice of music. Playing in Rieu's orchestra gives little status for the classical-trained musicians. Orchestra members can count on skepticism from colleagues who see Rieu's choice as a submission to the trade. Nevertheless, Rieu manages to have them bond together by creating a family atmosphere in the work environment. Every rehearsal is started with coffee and cake, they dine together and there is a lot of understanding for personal circumstances. Rieu's employees often stay with him for years, if not decades.
Lesson 3. Prepare yourself well and take calculated risks
According to Rieu's working methods, there is a risk associated with entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship also means taking risks. But taking risks is not the same as getting into something blindly and hoping that it will turn out to be okay. Before Rieu takes on a new venture, he prepares himself well. Preparation for Rieu is more than half the work. The performances are of course detailed into perfection, no matter where Rieu performs.
He also learned from his own mistakes. For tours abroad he does not work - as most artists do - anymore with a tour promoter, but does and controls everything himself. This avoids unpleasant surprises, such as those he experienced during a tour through the United States. Local promoters are tough to negotiate with and that takes up a lot of time. A reason for Rieu to decide that from now on he can arrange those better himself. In those he can afford to take risks. A successful performance abroad does not solely depend on direct income for Rieu. The Australia tour in 2008 was in itself a financial disaster: the construction of just the stage itself was very expensive because it required 500 employees. However, this loss was more than offset by the subsequent sale of DVDs, CDs and merchandising.

The Very Reverend Dr Duncan Shaw of Chapelverna, Representer of the Clan Shaw of Argyll and the Isles, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland 1987. Born: 27 January 1925 in Edinburgh. Died: 20 February 2018 in Edinburgh, aged 93.
A law apprentice, Duncan Shaw enlisted into the Royal Electrical Mechanical Engineers, serving at home and in India from February, 1943 until October 1947, holding every rank from Lance Corporal to Warrant officer, Class I, by June 1946.
After studying at the University of Edinburgh, from 1947 until 1951, he became minister of St Margaret's, Edinburgh, on 29 July 1951. Four years later he married Ilse Peiter, the daughter of a former German Confessing Church family, in Dusseldorf.
Shortly after his induction to St Christopher's Craigentinny Church in 1959, he graduated Ph.D in Scottish history in 1962 at the University of Edinburgh, under Professor Gordon Donaldson, and five years later was awarded the Senior Hume Brown prize in Scottish History for The General Assemblies of the Church of Scotland: their Origins and Development 1560-1600, Edinburgh 1964.
He devoted time to a divided Europe, particularly to Eastern Europe. To that end he learned German, and later, for some years, taught Ecclesiastical German to students in the Edinburgh Theological Faculty.
He was chosen as the British Council of Churches preacher in the United States from July to September 1967 and offered both academic and pastoral positions. He remained at Craigentinny, becoming more aware of the problems facing the Church, and proposed reforms beginning in 1977. A number of his papers were gathered together and published in A Voice in the Wilderness, 1995.
His work received wider recognition with the granting of a Th.Dr from the Comenius Faculty of Theology, Charles University, Prague in 1969; and the Bundesverdienstkreuz, first class, from the Federal Republic of Germany in 1980, for service in Aktion Suehnezeichen, based in East Berlin, having been an honorary member of the United Church of Berlin-Brandenburg since 1969.
During his moderatorial year in 1987 he was invested with the Order of St Sergius by Alexii, Metropolitan of Leningrad, who, at his invitation, was the first representative of the Russian Orthodox Church ever to attend a General Assembly.
For 16 years he was a member of the Advisory and Finance Committees of the Conference of European Churches. His final responsibility was the organising of the 1986 Conference of the European Churches at the University of Stirling.
In 1975 he played a role to secure a positive response to the European referendum, chairing the public meeting addressed by Edward Heath in the Old Royal High School building, and later spoke as one of the platform party in the Usher Hall with Lord Carrington, Roy Jenkins and others. Four years later, at the invitation of Professor John P Macintosh, he became committed to seeking a "Yes" vote in the referendum to have a Scottish Parliament established. He served as the Edinburgh chairman and a national executive committee member of the campaign.
As secretary of the General Council of the University of Edinburgh from 1965 to 1993, and General Council Trust, 1982-2000, he was faced with a changing academic world. He drafted papers relating to parliamentary discussions on the Universities of Scotland Bill, sought understanding for the students – Gordon Brown, as student rector, chaired meetings of the Council.
In recognition of his long service as Secretary, the degree of Dr h.c. was conferred on him in 1990.
In 1991, two years after his wife's death, he married Anna Libera Dallapiccola, professor of Indian Art, University of Heidelberg.
He retired on 3 January 1997 and resigned his seat in the presbytery of Edinburgh, and thus future General Assemblies, to concentrate on academic study. There followed The Acts and Proceedings of the General Assemblies of the Church of Scotland, 1560-1618, 2004 (3 vols); Renaissance and Zwinglian Influences in Sixteenth Century Scotland, 2012; and finally The Clan Shaw of Argyll and the Isles: MacGilleChainich of Dalriada, 2015, completed on his 90th birthday.
The Clan had been annihilated in 1614, by Ronald Campbell of Barrichbeyan, bailie of Jura, and other Campbells, and the Clan was forgotten. On his identifying the name MacGilleChainnich, the Clan was re-established in 2005, on his recognition as its Representer by the Lord Lyon, King of Arms.
He leaves behind wife Anna and daughter Erika; his elder daughter, Hedda, and his only son, Neil, having predeceased him.

As an instance, State Roadway 82 in eastern Lee Region is well-known for the disconcerting variety of negative accidents that occur there. The roadway is a narrow, dark and also extremely traveled link to the east coastline and also other inland cities, and also the vehicles will often travel over night or in the extremely morning hrs.

The majority of tool as well as large-sized trucking, logistics as well as transportation business have procedures they will certainly establish in case of a severe accident. As part of their "loss prevention" efforts, they will immediately send off a group to a crash scene in order to take pictures, measurements, and witness declarations, if available, in order to document any proof. Obviously, they are attempting to limit any kind of responsibility they may have when it pertains to showing fault, as well as restrict the efforts of the injured collision target to truly gather any type of financial problems as a result of the mishap.
The various other point that trucking firms have are legal representatives-- lots of them. When their attorneys are informing their insurers to provide you a quick, low-ball offer, you can bet you'll need an experienced trucking crash legal representative in your edge.
Trucking mishaps comprise a extremely specific area of automobile accident instances.

Therefore, if a individual is harmed or killed because of a crash with a business lorry (such as a semi tractor trailer gear), it is extremely vital to hire trucking accident lawyers who know with the requirements which must be satisfied by trucking companies. Critical proof can be permanently shed if certain actions are not required to ensure its preservation. Furthermore, there are sources of vital information which a trucking crash attorney that is experienced in this field will certainly have the ability to get. This information might be overlooked by an lawyer that is not well versed in the legislations which relate to the industrial trucking industry. The lawyers of Goldberg Noone, LLC, have committed to staying abreast of the complicated as well as ever-changing state and also federal laws which relate to industrial automobiles.

Q: how to overwrite css property min-height or height How can I override the min-height property in the code below? I am trying to set it with min-height:none; but its not working. I just want to remove this property.
/* original class */
.navbar {
  border: 1px solid transparent;
  margin-bottom: 20px;
  min-height: 50px;
  position: relative;
}

/* override class */
.navbar {
  min-height: none;
}

A: min-height's initial value is 0:
.navbar {
   min-height: 0;
}

In CSS3, you can also use initial or unset keywords:
.navbar {
   min-height: initial; /* or `unset` */
}

Q: why User is being kicked out from docusign ui with in 4-5 seconds I have embedded docusign ui in my app.its working fine in lower environments.But user is being kick out from docusign ui within 4-5 seconds in docusign production.I know there is session timeout configuration ,it is configured 20 minutes.Anyone have faced this issue..any suggestion/help is appreciated
Retrieve docusign embedded url
public async Task<EmbeddedSigningUrls> BuildEmbeddedDocSigningUrlAsync(

      string signerName, string signerEmail,
        string redirectAfterSigningBaseUrl,
        string envelopeId)
    {
        var viewOptions = new RecipientViewRequest()
        {
            ReturnUrl =
                $"{redirectAfterSigningBaseUrl}?{RedirectUriBuilderParser.SigningOperationIdQueryParamName}={envelopeId}",
            ClientUserId = signerEmail,
            AuthenticationMethod = "password", // <<== not "email"
            UserName = signerName,
            Email = signerEmail
        };

        var envelopesApi = new EnvelopesApi();

        var recipientView = await envelopesApi.CreateRecipientViewAsync(await AccountAsync(), envelopeId,
            viewOptions);
        return new EmbeddedSigningUrls
        {
            EmbeddedSigningUri = new Uri(recipientView.Url)
        };
    }

A: You need to update your code to this:
var viewOptions = new RecipientViewRequest()
        {
            ReturnUrl =
                $"{redirectAfterSigningBaseUrl}?{RedirectUriBuilderParser.SigningOperationIdQueryParamName}={envelopeId}",
            ClientUserId = signerEmail,
            AuthenticationMethod = "none", // <<== not "email"
            UserName = signerName,
            Email = signerEmail
        };

As your appliaction is just embedding a URL for the signing and is not adding additional authentication layer beyond the API calls that it is making.

Q: Is there any relationship between $Ax=b$ and $A^tx=b$? I know that for any matrix $A$ the dimension of the column space equals the dimension of the row space.  However, I'm not sure if there's any relationship between the solutions of
$$A\vec{x}=\vec{b}$$
and the solutions of
$$A^t\vec{x}=\vec{b}$$
That is to say, if you know the solution of one equation, does that tell you anything about the solutions of the other?

A: I am not aware of any. This may not answer your question but I thought it is useful to state this:
Let $F = \{ x \in \mathbb{R}^n : Ax = b, x \geq 0 \}$
Then, exactly one the following holds:

*

*$F \neq \emptyset$ (a feasible solution exists)

*$\exists$ $y$ such that $A^T y \geq 0 $, $b^T y < 0$
Either there is a feasible solution $x$ OR there is a $y$ that certifies no such $x$ exists.

Two Colorado Companies Among Those Selected By NASA For Commercial Lunar Payload Delivery Services
November 29, 2018 – NASA has selected nine U.S. companies – including Littleton-based Lockheed Martin and Deep Space Systems — to bid on NASA delivery services to the lunar surface through Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) contracts. The goal of CLPS is to enable scientific study and human exploration of the Moon and help prepare the agency to send astronauts to explore Mars. Lunar payloads could fly on these contracted missions as early as 2019.
Selected companies will be able to bid on delivering science and technology payloads for NASA, including payload integration and operations, launching from Earth and landing on the surface of the Moon. NASA expects to be one of many customers that will use these commercial landing services.
"Today's announcement marks tangible progress in America's return to the Moon's surface to stay," said NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine. "The innovation of America's aerospace companies, wedded with our big goals in science and human exploration, are going to help us achieve amazing things on the Moon and feed forward to Mars."
NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD) initiated the request for proposals leading to these selections as the first step in achieving a variety of science and technology objectives that could be addressed by regularly sending instruments, experiments and other small payloads to the Moon. SMD serves as the NASA interface between the agency's mission directorates, the scientific community, and other external stakeholders in developing a strategy to enable an integrated approach for robotic and human exploration within NASA's Moon to Mars Exploration Campaign.

Lockheed Martin's McCandless Lunar Lander was selected to provide payload delivery services as part of NASA's CLPS contract. Lockheed Martin's lander design builds on four decades of experience engineering deep space missions, including Mars landers. The McCandless Lunar Lander is based on the proven design of the InSight lander, which just touched down on the Martian surface on Monday, November 26, and the Phoenix lander, which successfully arrived at Mars in May 2008.
"We are excited to leverage our interplanetary lander designs and experience to help NASA build a new economy on and around the Moon, and beyond," said Lisa Callahan, vice president and general manager for Commercial Civil Space at Lockheed Martin. "Lockheed Martin has built more interplanetary spacecraft than all other U.S. companies combined, including four successful Mars landers. With our expertise on Orion and the NextSTEP lunar habitat, we can maximize the value of CLPS for lunar science operations as well as the path forward to tomorrow's reusable human lander."
The McCandless Lunar Lander is capable of transporting large payloads weighing hundreds of kilograms – including stationary scientific instruments, deployable rovers, or even sample return vehicles – to the surface of the Moon. The lander uses a proven propulsive landing approach that relies upon on-board radars and a set of rocket thrusters firing 10 times a second to slow to just five mph before touching down. Once on the lunar surface, the lander can provide power, communications and thermal management for sophisticated payloads.
The McCandless Lunar Lander is named in honor of the late Bruce McCandless, a NASA astronaut and longtime Lockheed Martin employee who was a pioneer in space exploration. McCandless is best known for conducting the first untethered spacewalk using the Lockheed Martin-built Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU) during a flight on the space shuttle. He originally joined the astronaut corps during the Apollo program and served as the voice of mission control for Neil Armstrong's famous moonwalk. After retiring from NASA he was instrumental in the design of exploration technology and training the next generation of planetary explorers during his tenure at Lockheed Martin.

Deep Space Systems (DSS) of Littleton, Colorado, also has a venerable track record of NASA missions. Deep Space Systems personnel have supported the design, development, integration, test and operations of a fleet of exploration spacecraft including Mars Reconnaisance Orbiter (MRO), Odyssey, Phoenix Lander, Orion, Mars Exploration Rovers, Stardust, Juno, GRAIL, and GOES-R.
DSS typically subcontracts to industry prime contractors such as Lockheed Martin, NASA and NASA centers such as the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, developing system engineering products unique to each contract, but has a wealth of experience that spans the system life cycle including proposal support, integration and testing of flight spacecraft, and operation and analysis of spacecraft in flight.
DSS was established in 2001 and is an award-winning Woman Owned Small Business.
In addition to Lockheed Martin and Deep Space Systems, the selected companies are:
Astrobotic Technology, Inc.: Pittsburgh
Deep Space Systems: Littleton, Colorado
Draper: Cambridge, Massachusetts
Firefly Aerospace, Inc.: Cedar Park, Texas
Intuitive Machines, LLC: Houston
Lockheed Martin Space: Littleton, Colorado
Masten Space Systems, Inc.: Mojave, California
Moon Express: Cape Canaveral, Florida
Orbit Beyond: Edison, New Jersey
The Commercial Lunar Payload Services contracts are indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contracts with a combined maximum contract value of $2.6 billion during the next 10 years. The agency will look at a number of factors when comparing bids, such as technical feasibility, price and scheduling.
In October, NASA issued a call for potential lunar instruments and technologies to study the Moon, with proposals due in January. These early missions will enable important technology demonstrations that will inform the development of future landers and other exploration systems needed for humans to return to the lunar surface, and help prepare the agency to send astronauts to explore Mars.
NASA will re-examine the private market periodically for new and emerging lunar delivery capabilities, and may offer additional companies an opportunity to join Commercial Lunar Payload Services through a contract process called on-ramping.

Spring bulb planting time has arrived again and that means a busy time. You need to turn over the intended beds, clean up last season's stored bulbs and plant them so that they may develop a good root system while the soil, air and water are still warm enough to induce growth, for once summer runs out, autumn, then winter, quickly follows. Spring flowering bulbs will often make a poor showing if the winter is dry or if the following spring is dry. When these bulbs are dug up for storing they will be considerably reduced in size compared with bulbs grown under favourable conditions. Thus it may pay to apply a little irrigation if the seasons haven't received sufficient rainfall. This also suggests that the bulb beds should be made richer with old well-composted manure as well as a little balanced fertiliser to help build up the bulbs for the next spring. In heavy soils a layer of mushroom compost at the bottom of the beds, except in the case of liliums which detest mushroom compost, covered with a few centimetres of soil has been found to be one of the best ways of growing bulbs. Mushroom compost can also be used in sandy soils because it's rich in humus and will benefit deep-rooting bulbs such as daffodils, jonquils, hyacinths, hippeastrums, snowflakes and others to build them up once they get their roots down into it. Another successful method for growing bulbs in sandy loam soils is to give the bulbs a good dressing of equal parts of blood and bone meal and superphosphate in 24cm-deep trenches where they will be grown. The mixture is put down after taking out about 24cm of soil at the rate of two kilograms to a trench seven metres long and about 40cm wide. The base of the trench is then covered with 10cm of soil and the bulbs planted on top and covered over with more soil. Grown under this method daffodils and hyacinths will produce tall stems with magnificent flowers. These methods can also be used for planting bulbs in large containers or troughs. Large pots 30cm and above should grow most spring flowering bulbs successfully. Bulbs that have naturalised and have been left in the ground for several seasons benefit from a dressing of equal parts blood and bone and superphosphate in early autumn each year. Amongst the easiest spring bulbs to grow are jonquils and daffodils as almost any situation suits them. They naturalise well under trees and can be left in one place indefinitely. Freesias with their striking colours and heavenly fragrance easily grow and will pop up and bloom year after year. Ranunculus are great for spring colour as are babianas with flowers in rich shades of purple and blue and the non-fussy ixias make them a asset in any garden. Bluebells are ideal in woodland gardens, pots, clumps or drifts. Correction: In last week's article on epiphyllums I said to grow them on a north-facing aspect but this should have been an east-facing aspect. February 9: Westbury Garden Club Summer Show, Westbury Town Hall, Lyall Street, 1.30pm-4pm. February 10: Annual Tasmanian Succulent and Cacti exhibition and sales, Deloraine Bowls Club, 11am-3pm.

PERFECT TIMING: Bulbs should go in now to take advantage of warm air, water and soil which will encourage them to grow.

Arkhip Kuinji (1842-1910):Kuinji
The Russian landscape painter Arkhip Ivanovich Kuinji was born in 1842 in the town of Mariupol on the Azov Sea in the South of Russia. Kuinji was of a Greek descent - during the reign of Catherine II his ancestors, together with other Greek refugees, settled near the Azov Sea. Kuinji lacked formal education, but his eminent gift helped him attain a notable success in art. He evidently was allowed to attend classes at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts, had training in the workshop of the famous in Russia marine painter Ivan Aivazovsky, visited the classes of the Society of Art Lovers. In 1868, having passed exams in general education and special subjects at the Academy of Arts, Kuinji received a diploma of a freelance artist for his independent work. His earlier paintings Autumn Weather (1870), Lake Ladoga (1870) and On the Valaam Island (1873) brought him first recognition. In 1873 Kuinji traveled around Germany, France, Switzerland and Austria and thoroughly studied the works of great masters. On his return, however, he creates works which were absolutely unlike those he had seen in European museums. His Ukrainian Night (1876) opened a new romantic stage in his work. He used special light effects to paint the nature and achieved such astonishing results, that people, who saw the picture for the first time at the exhibition, tried to check its back, if there was any special source of light. Exhibited at the Paris World Fair in 1878 The Ukranian Night attracted the attention of the eminent French critics. Kuinji developed a new vision in his next painting A Birch Grove (1879). Nature in it is both realistic and conventionalized; it looks as a condensed essence of reality. In 1880 he completed Moonlit Night on Dnieper (1880). The picture was a great success. Kuinji became an idol of the public. But he was not understood by his colleagues who saw in his art only illusory color effects, did not support his romantic searching. Probably it was the reason of his withdrawal from all exhibitions and public arrangements. He worked hard in his studio, experimenting much, but only his close friends saw his works. In 1894 he accepted an invitation to become a professor of the Academy. He was very fond of teaching and his students admired him. Among Kuinji?s pupils were several prominent artists such as N. Rerikh, K. Bogaevskiy, A. Rilov, V. Purvit and others. Unfortunately his career of a professor did not last long, he was dismissed for supporting students in their protests against authorities. But he continued to teach his students privately, and then paid for their trip around Europe. Later he presented the Academy with a big sum of money, the interest from which was to be used for awards to young painters. In 1909 he founded The Kuinji Society, an independent association of painters, to which he left all his pictures and property. The next year he died. The other well-known works of Kuinji are A Birch Grove (1879), with one of its late versions A Birch Grove (1901), The North (1879), After a Rain (1879), Sea. The Crimea. (1898-1908), Elbrus in the Evening. (1898-1908), Sunset (1890-1895), Rainbow (1900-1905), Night Grazing (1905-1908).


Hi, this theme could display the messages a bit better I think (see screenshot).
Sorry for the delay... have you tried the new version of the theme... it might be an improvement, if not I agree it could look better!
I hope to fix this today in my theme as well... I'll post the code here then!
I get the same alignment problem with this theme as shown in the image above - however it only seems to be evident in Safari browser. Firefox seems to correct this alignment problem.
No sure about IE 7 or 8. Don't use it as it's a crap browser.

Q: Any way (or shortcut) to auto import the classes in IntelliJ IDEA like in Eclipse? In Eclipse, while coding in Java and press Ctrl + Shift + O auto import all the Classes automatically.
In NetBeans, this is done with Ctrl + Shift + I.
Is any way to do this in IntelliJ IDEA?
I searched an equivalent shortcut in google, StackOverflow, IntelliJ IDEA configuration and in the official IntelliJ website Keyboard Shortcuts You Cannot Miss

A: Not all at once. But you can press
Alt + Enter
People assume it only works when you are at the particular item. But it actually works for "next missing type". So if you keep pressing Alt + Enter, IDEA fixes one after another until all are fixed.

A: Another option is to ask IDEA to behave like eclipse with eclipse shortcut keys. You can use all eclipse shortcuts by enabling this.
Here are the steps:
1- With IDEA open, press Control + `. Following options will be popped up.

2- Select Keymap. You will see another pop-up. Select Eclipse there.
If you don't see "Keymap" in the options, install "Eclipse Keymap" plugin

3- Now  press Ctrl + Shift + O. You are done!

A: I think the best solution, though not exactly the same as Eclipse/Netbeans, is to change the 'Optimize Imports' settings.
Under Preferences > Editor > General > Auto Import
Set Add unambiguous imports on the fly
Edit: Using this method, when there are ambiguous imports, IntelliJ will let you know, and you can then use Alt + Enter method outlined in the answer by Wuaner
I find that, almost always, the most appropriate Import is at the top of the list.

A: Can't import all at once but can use following combination:
ALT + Enter -->  Show intention actions and quick-fixes.
F2            -->  Next highlighted error.

A: IntelliJ IDEA does not have an action to add imports. Rather it has the ability to do such as you type. If you enable the "Add unambiguous imports on the fly" in Settings > Editor > General > Auto Import, IntelliJ IDEA will add them as you type without the need for any shortcuts. You can also add classes and packages to exclude from auto importing to make a class you use heavily, that clashes with other classes of the same name, unambiguous.
For classes that are ambiguous (or is you prefer to have the "Add unambiguous imports on the fly" option turned off), just type the name of the class (just the name is OK, no need to fully qualify). Use code completion and select the particular class you want:

Notice the fully qualified names to the right. When I select the one I want and hit enter, IDEA will automatically add the import statement. This works the same if I was typing the name of a constructor. For static methods, you can even just keep typing the method you want. In the following screenshot, no "StringUtils" class is imported yet.

Alternatively, type the class name and then hit Alt+Enter or ⌥+Enter to "Show intention actions and quick-fixes" and then select the import option.
Although I've never used it, I think the Eclipse Code Formatter third party plug-in will do what you want. It lists "emulates Eclipse's imports optimizing" as a feature. See its instructions for more information. But in the end, I suspect you'll find the built in IDEA features work fine once you get use to their paradigm. In general, IDEA uses a "develop by intentions" concept. So rather than interrupting my development work to add an import statement, I just type the class I want (my intention) and IDEA automatically adds the import statement for the class for me.

A: Seems like IntelliJ IDEA will import missed class automatically, and you can import them by hit Alt + Enter manually.

A: Use control+option+L to auto import the package and auto remove unused packages on Mac

A: Use Alt+Enter for importing a single package or use Alt+Shift+Enter to auto import all the unambiguous packages in the current file.

A: UPDATE
@ntg has given a very smart solution for converting import .* to individual imports in existing files (it is not completely automatic, but still quite low-effort)

*

*Go to any import .* statement and press Alt Enter (⌥ return on Mac)

*

*a popup will appear to replace the * import with individual imports

*then just hit Enter again

Original answer
Not sure if this is universal but I've found that after enabling both the following settings (as told in earlier answers), my IntelliJ is able to smartly convert package.* imports into individual imports (in existing files) just by deleting the import com.company.package.* line

*

*Add unambiguous imports on the fly

*Optimize imports on the fly

Essentially it will be able to add all 'unambiguous' imports for us, the rest will have to be resolved manually

I'm using

*

*IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate 2022.1 (Build #IU-222.3739.54)

*MacOS Monterey 12.5.1

A: Use control+option+O to auto-import the package or auto remove unused packages on MacOS

A: Hover on top of the code which needs a class then press
alt + shift + Enter
This will auto import the needed class.
