Q: euclidean distance calculation using Python and Dask I'm attempting to identify elements in the euclidean distance matrix that fall under a certain threshold. I then take the positional arguments for this search and use them to compare elements in a second array (for sake of demonstration this array is the first eigenvector of PCA, but the sort is the most relevant part for my question). The application needs to be applicable for an unknown number of observations, but should run effectively on several million.

#

import numpy as np
from scipy.spatial.distance import cdist

threshold = 10
data = np.random.uniform((1, 2, 3), 5000)

searchValues = np.where(cdist(data, data) < threshold)

#

My problem is two fold.
Firstly the euclidean distance matrix quickly becomes too large for simply applying scipy.spatial.distance.cdist().  To solve this issue I apply the cdist function in batches over the dataset and implement the search iteratively.

#

cdist(data, data)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\tl928yx\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\IPython\core\interactiveshell.py", line 2862, in run_code
    exec(code_obj, self.user_global_ns, self.user_ns)
  File "<ipython-input-10-fb93ae543712>", line 1, in <module>
    cdist(data, data)
  File "C:\Users\tl928yx\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\scipy\spatial\distance.py", line 2142, in cdist
    dm = np.zeros((mA, mB), dtype=np.double)
MemoryError

#

The second problem is a runtime issue that results from constructing distance matrix iteratively.  When I institute my iterative approach the runtime increases exponentially.  This isn't unexpected due to the nature of the iterative approach.

#

import numpy as np
import dask.array as da
from scipy.spatial.distance import cdist
import itertools
import timeit

threshold = 10
data = np.random.uniform(1, 100, (200000,40))  #Build random data
data = da.asarray(data)

it = round(data.shape[0]/10000)
dataArrays = [data[i*10000:(i+1)*10000] for i in range(0, it)]

comparisons = itertools.combinations(dataArrays, 2)

start = timeit.default_timer()
searchvalues = []
for comparison in comparisons:
    searchvalues.append(np.where(cdist(comparison[0], comparison[1]) < threshold))
time = timeit.default_timer() - start
print(time)

#

Neither of these issues are unexpected due to the nature of the problem.  To try and offset both problems I've tried using dask to implement both a large data framework in python, and insert parallelization in the batch process.  However, this hasn't resulted in a significant improvement in the time calculation, and I have a pretty strict memory limitation with this iterative method in dask (requiring taking in batches of 1000 obs at a time.
from dask.diagnostics import ProgressBar
import dask.delayed
import dask.bag

@dask.delayed
def eucDist(comparison):
    return da.asarray(cdist(comparison[0], comparison[1]))

@dask.delayed
def findValues(euclideanMatrix):
    return np.where(euclideanMatrix < threshold)

start = timeit.default_timer()
searchvalues = []
test = []
for comparison in comparisons:
    comp = dask.delayed(eucDist)(comparison)
    test.append(comp)

look = []

with ProgressBar():
    for element in test:
        look.append(dask.delayed(findValues)(element).compute())

I'm hoping that I can parallelize the comparisons to increase my speed, but I'm not sure how to implement that in python.  Any help with that, or any recommendations for how I can improve the initial comparison code would be appreciated.

A: You can calculate the Euclidean distance in Dask by using dask_distance.euclidean(x,y).

A: I believe that the dask-image package has some dask-enabled distance algorithms.

For more information, see the Windows Operating System Product Support Lifecycle FAQ.
Can I use the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) 1.2.1 to determine whether this update is required?
No. MBSA 1.2.1 will not determine whether this update is required. MBSA 1.2.1 will only determine if an update is required for products that MBSA 1.2.1 supports. MBSA 1.2.1 does not support the detection of Flash Player. For more information about MBSA, visit the MBSA Web site. For more information about the programs that MBSA 1.2.1 currently does not detect, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 306460. However, Microsoft has developed a version of the Enterprise Update Scanning Tool (EST) that will help customers determine if the security updates provided in this security bulletin are required. See the "Can I use a version of the Enterprise Update Scanning Tool (EST) to determine whether this update is required?" FAQ for more information about this tool.
What is the Enterprise Update Scanning Tool (EST)?
As part of an ongoing commitment to provide detection tools for bulletin-class security updates, Microsoft delivers a stand-alone detection tool whenever the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) and the Office Detection Tool (ODT) cannot detect whether the update is required for an MSRC release cycle. This stand-alone tool is called the Enterprise Update Scanning Tool (EST) and is designed for enterprise administrators. When a version of the Enterprise Update Scanning Tool is created for a specific bulletin, customers can run the tool from a command line interface (CLI) and view the results of the XML output file. To help customers better utilize the tool, detailed documentation will be provided with the tool. There is also a version of the tool that offers an integrated experience for SMS administrators.
Can I use a version of the Enterprise Update Scanning Tool (EST) to determine whether this update is required?
Yes. Microsoft has created a version of the EST that will determine if you have to apply this update. For download links and more information about the version of the EST that is being released this month, see the following Microsoft Web site. SMS customers should review the "Can I use Systems Management Server (SMS) to determine whether this update is required? " FAQ for more information about SMS and EST.
Can I use the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) 2.0 to determine whether this update is required?
Yes. MBSA 2.0 will determine whether this update is required. MBSA 2.0 can detect security updates for products that Microsoft Update supports. For more information about MBSA, visit the MBSA Web site.
Can I use Systems Management Server (SMS) to determine whether this update is required?
Yes. SMS can help detect and deploy this security update.
The SMS SUS Feature Pack, which includes the Security Update Inventory Tool (SUIT), can be used by SMS for detecting security updates. SMS SUIT uses the MBSA 1.2.1 engine for detection; therefore, SMS SUIT has the same limitation listed earlier in this bulletin related to applications that MBSA does not detect.
For more information about the Security Update Inventory Tool, see the following Microsoft Web site. For more information about the limitations of the Security Update Inventory Tool, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 306460.
The SMS SUS Feature Pack also includes the Microsoft Office Inventory Tool to detect for required updates for Office applications.
The SMS 2003 Inventory Tool for Microsoft Updates can be used by SMS for detecting security updates that are offered by Microsoft Update and that are supported by Windows Server Update Services. For more information about the SMS 2003 Inventory Tool for Microsoft Updates, see the following Microsoft Web site.
SMS 2.0 or SMS 2003 customers that are not using the Inventory Tool for Microsoft Updates will need to download and deploy an updated version of the Extended Security Update Inventory Tool in order to receive full detection and deployment for this update.
For more information about SMS, visit the SMS Web site.
Can I use SMS to determine if the Flash Player is installed on a system?
Yes. SMS can help detect if the Flash Player is installed on a system. SMS can search for the existence of the files flash.ocx and swflash.ocx. Versions of flash.ocx and swflash.ocx that are earlier than version 6.0.80 and all 5.x.x.x versions may be vulnerable.
Note If both flash.ocx and swflash.ocx are present on the system then the GUID used to instantiate Flash Player should be registered to flash.ocx. Regardless of this, the security update will register the GUID to the new flash.ocx that is installed.
Flash Player Vulnerability - CVE-2006-0024:
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Macromedia Flash Player from Adobe because of the way that it handles Flash Animation (SWF) files. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by constructing a specially crafted Flash Animation (SWF) file that could potentially allow remote code execution if a user visited a Web site containing the specially crafted SWF file or viewed an e-mail message containing the specially crafted SWF file as an attachment. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system.
Mitigating Factors for Flash Player Vulnerability - CVE-2006-0024:
Customers that have followed the guidance in Adobe Security Bulletin APSB06-03 are not at risk from the vulnerability.
By default, Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4, Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 do not ship with a vulnerable version of Flash Player installed. However, customers that have installed a version of Flash Player 7.0.62.0 or 8.0.22.0 or earlier on these versions of Windows are encouraged to follow the guidance in the Adobe Security Bulletin APSB06-03.
In a Web-based attack scenario, an attacker would have to host a Web site that contains a Web page that is used to exploit this vulnerability. An attacker would have no way to force users to visit a malicious Web site. Instead, an attacker would have to persuade them to visit the Web site, typically by getting them to click a link that takes them to the attacker's Web site.
An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the local user. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
The Restricted sites zone helps reduce attacks that could try to exploit this vulnerability by preventing Active Scripting and ActiveX controls from being used when reading HTML e-mail. However, if a user clicks on a link within an e-mail they could still be vulnerable to this issue through the Web-based attack scenario described previously. By default, Outlook Express 6, Outlook 2002, and Outlook 2003 open HTML e-mail messages in the Restricted sites zone. Additionally Outlook 2000 opens HTML e-mail messages in the Restricted sites zone if the Outlook E-mail Security Update has been installed. Outlook Express 5.5 Service Pack 2 opens HTML e-mail messages in the Restricted sites zone if Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-018 has been installed.
Workarounds for Flash Player Vulnerability - CVE-2006-0024:
Microsoft has tested the following workarounds. While these workarounds will not correct the underlying vulnerability, they help block known attack vectors. When a workaround reduces functionality, it is identified in the following section.
Temporarily prevent the Flash Player ActiveX control from running in Internet Explorer for Windows XP Service Pack 2
You can help protect against this vulnerability by temporarily preventing the Flash Player ActiveX control from running in Internet Explorer. On Windows XP Service Pack 2 use the Internet Explorer Manage Add-ons feature to disable the ActiveX control.
Start Internet Explorer.
On the Tools menu, click Manage Add-ons.
Locate and click on "Shockwave Flash Object".
To disable the add-on, click Disable, and then click OK.
Note If you cannot locate the ActiveX control then use the drop-down box to switch from "Add-ons currently being used in Internet Explorer" to "Add-ons that have been used by Internet Explorer" and follow steps 3 and 4. If the ActiveX control is not present in this list you either have not used the ActiveX control before or it is not present on your system. See the workaround "Temporarily prevent the Flash Player ActiveX control from running in Internet Explorer" for additional information.
For more information on the Internet Explorer Manage Add-ons feature in Windows XP Service Pack 2, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 883256.
Impact of Workaround: Applications and Web sites that require the Flash Player ActiveX control may no longer function correctly. If you implement this workaround it would affect any Flash Player ActiveX control you have installed on your system.
To regain functionality you need to use the Internet Explorer Manage Add-ons feature to enable the ActiveX control.
Temporarily prevent the Flash Player ActiveX control from running in Internet Explorer
Temporarily prevent attempts to instantiate the Flash Player ActiveX control in Internet Explorer by setting the kill bit for the control.
Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
We recommend that you back up the registry before you edit it.
Use the following text to create a .reg file that temporarily prevents attempts to instantiate the Flash Player ActiveX control in Internet Explorer. You can copy the following text, paste it into a text editor such as Notepad, and then save the file with the .reg file name extension. Run the .reg file on the vulnerable client.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{1171A62F-05D2-11D1-83FC-00A0C9089C5A}] "Compatibility Flags"=dword:00000400

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{D27CDB70-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000}] "Compatibility Flags"=dword:00000400
Close Internet Explorer, and reopen it for the changes to take effect.
For detailed steps about stopping a control from running in Internet Explorer, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 240797. Follow these steps and create a Compatibility Flags value in the registry to prevent the Flash Player ActiveX control from running in Internet Explorer.
To regain functionality you need to undo the kill bits for the Flash Player ActiveX control remove the registry keys added to temporarily prevent attempts to instantiate the Flash Player ActiveX control in Internet Explorer.
Modify the Access Control List on the Flash Player ActiveX control to temporarily prevent it from running in Internet Explorer
To modify the Access Control List (ACL) on the Flash Player ActiveX control to be more restrictive, follow these steps:
Click Start, click Run, type "cmd" (without the quotation marks), and then click OK.
Type the following commands at a command prompt. Make a note of the current files ACL's, including inheritance settings. You may need this list if you have to undo these modifications:
cacls %windir%\system32\Macromed\Flash\flash.ocx cacls %windir%\system32\Macromed\Flash\swflash.ocx
Type the following command at a command prompt to deny the 'everyone' group access to this file:
echo y|cacls %windir%\system32\Macromed\Flash\flash.ocx /d everyone echo y|cacls %windir%\system32\Macromed\Flash\swflash.ocx /d everyone
To regain functionality you need to undo the modifications to the Access Control List on the ActiveX control you have on your system.
Un-register the Flash Player ActiveX Control
To un-register the Flash Player ActiveX control, follow these steps:
Click Start, click Run, type "regsvr32.exe /u %windir%\system32\Macromed\Flash\flash.ocx" (without the quotation marks), and then click OK.

Change your Internet Explorer settings to prompt before running ActiveX controls or disable ActiveX controls in the Internet security zone and in the Local intranet security zone
You can help protect against this vulnerability by changing your Internet Explorer settings to prompt before running ActiveX controls. To do this, follow these steps:
In Internet Explorer, click Internet Options on the Tools menu.
Click the Security tab.
Click Internet, and then click Custom Level.
Under Settings, in the ActiveX controls and plug-ins section, under Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins, click Prompt or Disable, and then click OK.
Click Local intranet, and then click Custom Level.
Click OK two times to return to Internet Explorer.
Impact of Workaround: There are side effects to prompting before running ActiveX controls. Many Web sites that are on the Internet or on an intranet use ActiveX to provide additional functionality. For example, an online e-commerce site or banking site may use ActiveX controls to provide menus, ordering forms, or even account statements. Prompting before running ActiveX controls is a global setting that affects all Internet and intranet sites. You will be prompted frequently when you enable this workaround. For each prompt, if you feel you trust the site that you are visiting, click Yes to run ActiveX controls. If you do not want to be prompted for all these sites, use the following method:
Restrict Web sites to only your trusted Web sites.
After you set Internet Explorer to require a prompt before it runs ActiveX controls and Active Scripting in the Internet zone and in the Local intranet zone, you can add sites that you trust to Internet Explorer's Trusted sites zone. This will allow you to continue to use trusted Web sites exactly as you do today, while helping to protect you from this attack on untrusted sites. We recommend that you add only sites that you trust to the Trusted sites zone.
To do this, follow these steps:
In Internet Explorer, click Tools, click Internet Options, and then click the Security tab.
In the Select a Web content zone to specify its current security settings box, click Trusted Sites, and then click Sites.
If you want to add sites that do not require an encrypted channel, click to clear the Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone check box.
In the Add this Web site to the zone box, type the URL of a site that you trust, and then click Add.
Repeat these steps for each site that you want to add to the zone.
Click OK two times to accept the changes and return to Internet Explorer.
Add any sites that you trust not to take malicious action on your computer. Two in particular that you may want to add are "*.windowsupdate.microsoft.com" and "*.update.microsoft.com" (without the quotation marks). This is the site that will host the update, and it requires an ActiveX control to install the update.
Set Internet and Local intranet security zone settings to "High" to prompt before running ActiveX controls in these zones
You can help protect against this vulnerability by changing your settings for the Internet security zone to prompt before running ActiveX controls. You can do this by setting your browser security to High.
To raise the browsing security level in Microsoft Internet Explorer, follow these steps:
On the Internet Explorer Tools menu, click Internet Options.
In the Internet Options dialog box, click the Security tab, and then click the Internet icon.
Under Security level for this zone, move the slider to High. This sets the security level for all Web sites you visit to High.
Note If no slider is visible, click Default Level, and then move the slider to High.
Note Setting the level to High may cause some Web sites to work incorrectly. If you have difficulty using a Web site after you change this setting, and you are sure the site is safe to use, you can add that site to your list of trusted sites. This will allow the site to work correctly even with the security setting set to High.

This month we're celebrating the fifth anniversary of our Production Director, Katie Baumann. Katie started at Multilingual Connections as a Spanish to English editor, and her journey included Project Manager, Senior Project Manager, and Team Lead. As one of the core members of the Multilingual Connections' leadership team, she works on developing her people and improving processes to support our growth.
Why and how did you start working in the translation industry?
I started working in translation around 2009. I studied Spanish in college and afterwards moved to Chile to explore and travel. I was working as an English teacher at a language institute, and the owner trained me on Spanish to English translation. I loved it right away: the research, figuring out the puzzle, and all the interesting topics you come across.
Katie Baumann, Production Director at Multilingual Connections
Tell me a little about your background?
I grew up on the southwest side of Chicago, and was a shy kid who loved animals and reading. I also spent a couple of years of my childhood in the Caribbean traveling. I'm grateful for that because it made me realize at a young age that creative ways of living and working are possible.
What's a typical workday like for you, and what you are currently working on?
I spend a lot of time in meetings, emails, and other various forms of team communication, where I troubleshoot or help make decisions, and a few hours per day of focused individual work. Right now I'm working with our tech team on an automated form for a key client, brainstorming a plan and structure for a new service we are offering, and working on reports for our management team to better see what's going on in the day-to-day.
What has been your favorite project so far?
When I started at Multilingual, I was an editor of our Spanish to English translations of law enforcement interviews. This type of work was both fascinating and important, since these translations play a part in ensuring that perpetrators of child abuse or other crimes are prosecuted, and that innocent people accused of crimes have their voices heard and words expressed clearly.
We've also had an interesting genre of translation requests that has grown significantly over the past few years: gender-inclusive language. These projects are always fascinating and incredibly challenging, since each language has its own ingrained and unique gender structure.
What is your favorite thing about working at MLC?
I love the team and the culture. We have a strong team spirit, which is embraced by both our leaders and our diverse, language-loving group of employees, and our culture encourages creativity and personal accountability.
What have you learned since working in your position?
I think localization projects are successful when the teams can quickly anticipate all potential challenges, think creatively, and above all be understanding – since ultimately the work involves coordinating humans. Translators and project managers alike need to find a balance between being efficient while also being thorough and attentive to the little details of the text to make sure it resonates with the audience. With respect to team management, I think the same theme applies: be understanding above all, and move quickly and transparently if there are problems.
Your top 3 favorite Podcasts/Books?
I've been listening to Globally Speaking for industry talk. For fun, I've been listening to Radio Ambulante, which bills itself as a Spanish-language This American Life, as well as Las Raras, a Chilean podcast that also focuses on storytelling and Reply All, a podcast about the Internet that dives deep into how different systems in the world function.
I love racing sailboats on Lake Michigan in the summer, being in the mountains, reading, tending to all the plants in my apartment, and spending time with a big community of friends and family in Chicago.
When are you happiest?
I'm sailing in a race, it's windy, and it's that moment when there's just enough of a chance that something could go wrong and we'd all need to jump into action.
What values drive you?
I'm driven by kindness, understanding, and reflection, and have seen teams that act from a foundation of these values succeed over and over again. MLC's integration of company core values into our hiring and our work has really been motivating for me and the team. We've focused on people who are flexible and creative and who prioritize relationships, and the result is a team of employees who gain high levels of trust from clients, vendors, and colleagues.
We congratulate Katie on her five years with Multilingual Connections and thank her for her dedication and leadership!
The Many Metaphors of Translation
It may be tempting to think of translation as a simple conversion of one language to another. But for those who are inclined to roll up their sleeves and take on the tricky business of translation, there is certainly no shortage of challenges to keep them second-guessing their choices on the page. Different languages contain …

Protecting the look of a car should be important to every car owner. You spent your hard-earned money to get a car you love, so why wouldn't you do what you could to keep it as lovely as possible?
In addition to getting regular (weekly) car washes and avoiding scraping your car doors on any and everything the world is trying to use to ruin your paint job, it is important to give your car a good wax 2-4 times a year.
One writer from Popular Mechanics says he waxes his car twice a year: before winter and in the spring. He also likes to use spray-on wax between official waxings to keep up the shine.
Wash and dry your car. You don't want to seal in dirt and grime with the wax. Also make sure your car is parked in the shade because exposure to lots of sunlight can make the wax dry to quickly or sit on the vehicle for too long, making it difficult to buff off.
Shake the bottle well and apply a small amount of wax to the foam and spread it evenly over the surface of one section of the car in a very thin layer. It's important that you don't try to wax too large of an area at one time. Make sure you avoid things like mirrors and black plastic bumpers that aren't meant to be waxed unless you want white stains.
Let the wax sit for about a minute, allowing it to haze. When the wax starts to look foggy or like it's drying, begin buffing it off with a clean, soft towel using circular motions. Be sure to flip the towel periodically, as the clean part of the towel works best.
Continue this all around your car, section by section.
Once finished, clean the wax from unpainted plastic and rubber surfaces with window spray cleaner.
Do you have any car waxing tips? We'd love to hear them in the comments or on our Facebook page!

Q: Translating multilingual data within database I have a scenario, to test the data coming out from the database (Kognitio) in different languages. In this case, I cannot afford to have multiple database instances per language. Rather, I am looking at an option where I can translate the data stored in the database and can project on the basis of need.
So basically the data is stored on our databases as a plain English words. In my front end, I see the same. But if I need to do some testing for German language on the front end, as it stands, I need to update the complete rows with the help of some external translation tools. This is very tedious since the data volume is huge (In tera bytes) and can't be done in a shorter time frame.
Is there any easier way to achieve this?
My sincerest apologies if this is vague. But I can certainly improve the question if needed to be

A: One of the options is to have language tables as an extension to the actual data with retaining original keys. So a primary language will go into the core dimension and we will have a table per language as an extension which can be joined back to the original dimensions with the keys.


Supporting young autistic adults through meaningful, professional work placements and training opportunities.
Many autistic people struggle to find full time employment with only an estimated 15% of diagnosed people in work (TUC 2015). Working at our social enterprises can be a first step to getting a job for some young adults with autism; we are confident that everyone who undertakes a supported work placement with us will develop confidence, social skills and skills for independent living.
Our social enterprises are all located in and around the vibrant seaside town of Southport in Merseyside and include cafes, a bike refurbishment scheme and a vegetable growing business and shop.
Discover our award-winning café A Great Little Place in Southport.

, born , was the founder and leader of the Japanese doomsday cult known as Aum Shinrikyo. He was convicted of masterminding the deadly 1995 sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway, and was also involved in several other crimes. Asahara was sentenced to death in 2004, and his final appeal failed in 2011. In June 2012, his execution was postponed due to further arrests of Aum members. He was ultimately executed on July 6, 2018.

Early life
Shoko Asahara was born as Chizuo Matsumoto on March 2, 1955, into a large, poor family of tatami-mat-makers in Kumamoto Prefecture. He had infantile glaucoma from birth, which made him lose all sight in his left eye and go partially blind in his right eye at a young age, and was thus enrolled in a school for the blind. Asahara was known to be a bully at the school, taking advantage of the other students by beating them and extorting money from them. He graduated in 1977 and turned to the study of acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine, which were common careers for the blind in Japan. He married the following year and eventually fathered 6 children, the eldest of whom was born in 1978.

In 1981, Asahara was convicted of practicing pharmacy without a license and selling unregulated drugs, for which he was fined .

Asahara's interest in religion reportedly started at this time. Having been recently married, he worked to support his large and growing family. He dedicated his free time to the study of various religious concepts, starting with Chinese astrology and Taoism.

Later, Asahara practiced Western esotericism, yoga, meditation, esoteric Buddhism, and esoteric Christianity.

Aum Shinrikyo
In 1984, Asahara formed Aum Shinsen no Kai (オウム神仙の会). He changed his name from Chizuo Matsumoto to Shoko Asahara and renamed his group Aum Shinrikyo in 1987. Asahara applied for government registration and, against the advice of cult experts and government officials, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government granted it legal recognition as a religious corporation in 1989.

After this, a monastic order was established, and many lay followers joined. Asahara gained credibility by appearing on TV and on magazine covers. He gradually attained a following of believers and began being invited to lecture-meeting at universities. Asahara also wrote several religious books, including Beyond Life and Death and Supreme Initiation.

The doctrine of Aum Shinrikyo is based on the Vajrayana scriptures, the Bible, and other texts. In 1992 Asahara declared himself Christ, Japan's only fully enlightened master, and identified with the Lamb of God.

His purported mission was to take others' sins upon himself, and he claimed he could transfer spiritual power to his followers. He saw dark conspiracies everywhere, promulgated by the Jews, the Freemasons, the Dutch, the British Royal Family, and rival Japanese religions.

He outlined a doomsday prophecy, which included a third World War, and described a final conflict culminating in a nuclear "Armageddon", borrowing the term from the Book of Revelation .

Asahara often preached the necessity of Armageddon for "human relief." He eventually declared, "Put tantra Vajrayana into practice in accordance with the doctrines of Mahamudra," and he led a series of terrorist attacks using a secret organization hidden from ordinary believers.

Tokyo subway gas attack and arrest

On March 20, 1995, members of Aum Shinrikyo attacked the Tokyo subway with the nerve agent sarin. Thirteen people died and thousands more suffered ill effects. After finding sufficient evidence, authorities accused Aum Shinrikyo of complicity in the attack, as well as in a number of smaller-scale incidents. Dozens of disciples were arrested, Aum's facilities were raided, and the court issued an order for Asahara's arrest. In the following months, a general attitude to perceive new religions and cults as a potential danger for the whole society spread among the Japanese people.

On May 16, 1995, the police investigated the headquarters of Aum Shinrikyo. Asahara was discovered in a very small, isolated room in one of the facilities.

Wary of possible Aum military power, the First Airborne Brigade of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force was stationed nearby to support the police if needed.

Trial and execution

Asahara faced 27 counts of murder in 13 separate indictments. The prosecution argued that Asahara gave orders to attack the Tokyo Subway to "overthrow the government and install himself in the position of Emperor of Japan".

Later, during the trial which took more than seven years to conclude, the prosecution forwarded an additional theory that the attacks were ordered to divert police attention away from Aum. The prosecution also accused Asahara of masterminding the Matsumoto incident (another sarin attack nine months earlier that killed eight people) and the Sakamoto family murder. According to Asahara's defense team, a group of senior followers initiated the atrocities and kept them a secret from Asahara.

During the trials, some of the disciples testified against Asahara, and he was found guilty on 13 of 17 charges, including the Sakamoto family murder; four charges were dropped. On February 27, 2004, he was sentenced to death. The trial was called the "trial of the century" by the Japanese media.

The defence appealed Asahara's sentencing on the grounds that he was mentally unfit and psychiatric examinations were undertaken. During much of the trials, Asahara remained silent or only muttered to himself. However, he communicated with the staff at his detention facility, which convinced the examiner that Asahara was maintaining his silence out of free will. Owing to his lawyers' failure to submit the statement of reason for appeal, the Tokyo High Court decided on March 27, 2006, not to grant them leave to appeal. This decision was upheld by the Supreme Court of Japan on September 15, 2006.

Two re-trial appeals were declined by the appellate court. In June 2012, Asahara's execution was postponed due to arrests of several fugitive Aum Shinrikyo members.

Asahara was executed by hanging at the Tokyo Detention House on July 6, 2018, 23 years after the sarin gas attack, along with six other cult members. Relatives of victims said they approved the execution. Asahara's final words, as reported by officials, assigned his remains to his fourth daughter, who was unsympathetic to the cult and stated she planned to dispose of the ashes at sea; this was contested by Asahara's wife, third daughter, and other family members, who were suspected of wanting to enshrine the ashes where believers can honor them. As of March 2020, the ashes were still at the Tokyo Detention House.

As you've probably guessed, this is a Facebook group called Blushing Brides Scotland. It's a closed group (you just request to join) where Brides-to-be, past Brides and Suppliers can all share tips and advice on planning the perfect wedding. You can post asking about others' experience of a venue or where to find certain items such as favours or light-up LOVE letters (they certainly seem to be popular right now!) as well as asking for peoples' opinions on prices or even members of the wedding party not pulling their weight. There are nearly 8,000 members so it certainly is a busy page!
It's also really useful if you're on a tight budget and looking out for bargains. Past brides sell things like table decorations, dresses, veils, lights and various other lovely objects that they had on their special day. You really could get some amazing stuff for an absolute steal – nothing wrong with buying second hand, especially if they have already been used for a really happy occasion! Positive vibes everywhere! Suppliers also use the group to advertise any special offers they might have on or any great wedding fayres that are coming up.
What's great about Blushing Brides Scotland is that everyone is the same boat. Whatever you're looking for or whatever your predicament is, you will find someone who understands and can help! I haven't seen a single post on there that hasn't been responded to. It's also handy if you're planning your wedding from far away (for example we are playing at a couple of weddings in Scotland this year that are being planned in different countries!) as you can ask for peoples' experiences of a certain supplier or the best place to find something.
So if you're looking for a place to grab bargains/share experience/learn/chat/rant, click the image below to visit Blushing Brides Scotland (there are men on it too!) and enjoy!
P.S. Read the rules before you post – basically, don't be mean!
P.P.S. Empire will be playing live at the Fife Wedding Show at Rothes Halls THIS SUNDAY (21st February) between 12 and 4pm. There will be loads of suppliers there to meet and have a chat with. Plus I made biscuits and they are absolutely awesome. They're Empire biscuits. I think that's really clever but I'm pretty sure the rest of the band think I'm a bit sad.

Q: Parse list of complex JSON objects using Jackson I have a list of JSON objects something like:
[
  {
    "id": "A",
    "objs": [
      { "obj1": 1 },
      { "obj2": 0 },
    ]
  },
  {
    "id": "A",
    "objs": [
      { "obj1": 1 },
      { "obj2": 0 },
    ]
  }
]

And would like to load them into a list of MyObj:
class MyObj {
  private final String id;
  private final HashMap<String, Integer> objs;

  // Constructors, etc. here...
}

ArrayList<MyObj> list;

Is there any smart way to do this using the Jackson ObjectMapper or other bindings; i.e., with minimal boilerplate code? Without the HashMap it would be a simple matter of:
list = mapper.readValue(file, new TypeReference<ArrayList<MyOBJ>>() {});

But the HashMap pretty much seems to kill that. Ideas?

A: If you're able to use Jackson-annotations, and don't care that much about performance, you can do this nasty little trick :
// Put this in the MyObj class
@JsonSetter(value="objs")
public void setObjs(HashMap<String, Integer>[] units) {
    objs = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
    for (HashMap<String, Integer> unit : units) {
        for (String key : unit.keySet())
            objs.put(key, unit.get(key));
    }
}

But the clean way would be to write a MyObjDeserializer, as suggested by @Sotirios.
Watch out for those leading commas inside the "objs" arrays.

A: First of all you need a model class for your JSON. Then you should to write your own parser for reading data to array (Map, List, etc.). Jackson.
Small example from my old project.
Model class:
package ru.model;

import javax.persistence.*;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Locale;

public class Entry implements Serializable {
    private static final long serialVersionID = 8201337883209943936L;

    private Integer primary_id;
    private Integer id;
    private String description;
    private Integer votes;
    private String author;
    private Date date;
    private String gifURL;
    private String previewURL;
    private String embedId;
    private String type;

//  getters and setters
}

Example of parser:
public static List<Entry> getAllEntries(String jsonString) {
    List<Entry> entries = new ArrayList<Entry>();
        try {
            if (jsonString.length() == 0) {
                throw new Exception("Empty json!");
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();

        try {
            JsonNode rootNode = objectMapper.readTree(jsonString);
            JsonNode resultNode = rootNode.findPath("result"); // choose concrete element in JSON array
            if (resultNode.size() > 0) {
                for (int i = 0; i < resultNode.size(); i++) {
                    entries.add(objectMapper.readValue(resultNode.get(i).toString(), Entry.class));
                }
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    return entries;
}

Example of JSON:
{"result":
[
{"id":94,
"description":"description111",
"votes":1,
"author":"sashvd",
"date":"Mar 15, 2013 4:09:03 PM",
"gifURL":"http://-..",
"previewURL":"http://.."}
],
"totalCount":88}
}


Most children's sunglasses are designed to provide comprehensive eye protection from the sun when they wear them, and our Surf sunglasses for youth are no different. They'll provide your child with 100% UVA/UVB protection at all times, and look stylish while they're at it.
Surf sunglasses for youth are perfect for children ages 7+.
I ordered this pair and the Bolt in Youth-7 as well, however, these were huge on my little one who's six. I would've of exchanged them for the smaller size but he didn't care for the mirror lenses too much. These looked a little too plastic compared to the Bold style which look so well made. I returned these right away and kept the Bolt since we were all very content with those.
Great product, price and fast shipping.
These ran big for my son who is 7 almost 8. They are cute and good quality so worth considering if you usually like this style.
Just way too wide on her face. Love the flexible material though. May keep them till she grows into them.
Excellent quality sun glasses. My granddaughters will love them. I like the sun protection that comes with the glasses.
Worth it. Reasonable. Protects my 6.5 year old's eyes. Very fast shipping.
PERFECT – just as advertised on site…SUPER CUTE!

Darshan, NYC, 2 Feb 2012
Darshan Jazz Rabbi's Invitational
Thursday, Feb 2 at 08:30 PM
7:30 PM Lecture with Rabbi Menachem Leibtag
8:30 PM Darshan Concert
Sixth Street Synagogue
325 E. Sixth Street
Darshan is astral rap, liturgical jazz, audio alchemy. Harmonizing Hebrew chant with hiphop, folk rock with electro-pop, love poetry with kabbalistic psychology, Darshan is a unique and organic weave of world wisdom traditions and modern musical styles.
Shir Yaakov is a Master of Melody who has given birth to hauntingly beautiful liturgical chants, used in havurot and synagogues around the world.
Eprhyme is a Radical Jewish Rennaissance Rapper.
Together, as Darshan, these two combine and connect to create something that is altogether new, and at the same time ancient. Deep and probing rhymes blend with evocative and uplifting melodies in "an uncompromising blend of urban forms and neo-Hasidic spirituality." — The Forward.
admission: $10 at the door
The concert will be preceded by a guest lecture on "Torah and Creativity" by Rabbi Menachem Leibtag, an internationally acclaimed bible scholar and pioneer of Jewish Education on the internet, is well known in the Jewish community for his essays on the weekly Bible portion. His vibrant thematic-analytical approach blends the methods of modern academic scholarship with traditional Jewish approaches to the Biblical text. He is best known for his ability to teach students how to study rather than simply read Biblical passages. As his essays focus on meta-themes in the Bible, his readership has expanded to students of the Bible from all religions and walks of life.
In Israel, Rabbi Leibtag teaches at Yeshivat Har Etzion, Yeshivat Shaalavim, Midreshet Lindenbaum, and at Yeshiva University's Gruss Center.

Dave Levitt learned the music business from his parents. They got him started at age eight in Hollywood, Florida. He went on to appear with his folks at every one of their performances. First it was drums and clarinet. Later it became alto sax before Dave finally settled with the trombone at age fourteen. As a teenager Dave attended the famous Laguardia H.S. of Music and Art in New York. While a student there, he was a cast member in the Elizabeth Swados production "Swing" which had a run at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. After completing High School, Dave attended Manhattan School Of Music on a scholarship. As student at MSM, Levitt had the good fortune of appearing with many notable jazz musicians. They included Red Rodney, Al Grey, Clark Terry as well as many others. It was about this time that Dave started to arrange and record Klezmer music with his father. These recordings also included their distant cousin Howie Leess on alto saxophone. After finishing his education, Dave took his artistry on the road which included the U.S. as well as Europe. Two of his European tours were with the Epstein Brothers Klezmer Band. Dave was the youngest member of the group as the brothers were well into their 70's. The eldest brother Max Epstein was in his early 80's. It was about this time that Dave started his own company called Progressive Music. The business operated as a rehearsal/recording studio for thirteen years. The business has since shifted gears and Dave is now involved in publishing as well as operating as a record label. The initial release of the label is called "Marty Levitt's Greatest Hits". It's a series of recordings with two generations in the ensemble. (Marty and Dave Levitt).

In East of the River they collaborate with acclaimed composer/ accordionist Uri Sharlin, and Yo Yo Ma's "Silk Road Ensemble" percussionist Shane Shanahan. The group has performed at venues as various as Bargemusic, Joe's Pub, Zebulon, Le Poisson Rouge, and universities. Their first album "East of the River" was released in 2009.

Women's football will rise again insists Cannuli
By Janakan Seemampillai Jun 11 2020 12:55AM
By Janakan Seemampillai
Jun 11 2020 12:55AM
Former Matilda and current Western Sydney Wanderers W-League assistant coach, Catherine Cannuli, is confident women's football in Australia will overcome the many challenges that lay ahead.
Cannuli, who played well over 100 WNSL/W-League games and won four caps for Australia, insists that women's football will not lie down in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic that has left the sport in a precarious situation.
"It's a worrying time for all women's sports, but I'm sure our code will do everything it can to support the W-League and its future," says Cannuli. "We have invested too much to get to where we are today to just let it go.
"Covid-19 will put a dent in a lot of sports and organisations but I'm sure we will all rise again."
Cannuli is the head coach of the Southern District Raiders in the NSW NPLW and is a Technical Director at Southern Districts Soccer Football Association (SDSFA). The 34-year-old is touted by many as a future W-League coach, and after three years as an assistant at Wanderland is full of praise for the pathway available for women coaches.
"The W-League has been great in supporting women coaches, especially with all teams having to have a female coach on their staff," says Cannuli.
"In the football world there isn't enough full-time work, but I'm fortunate enough that SDSFA allows me to work in a dual role whilst W-League is running.
"It can be really challenging and hard work juggling between the two but it's great to have the opportunity."
Cannuli admits she is excited about the future of the Wanderers, who featured in their first finals series last season.
"Yes, we did have an amazing season, we had built for that season and beyond for a while now.
"All of us on the coaching team and behind the scenes were very committed to putting out a competitive team, and its something that we want to continue with in the future."
The Wanderers were fighting for top spot with eventual champions Melbourne City for the bulk of the season, but lost their way particularly after the departure of star duo Denise O'Sullivan and Lynn Williams late in the season.
While full of praise for the international stars in the team, Cannuli lamented the gap between the NPLW and the W-League.
"100% our foreigners helped raise the bar in all aspects, but there is a massive gap between the NPLW system and W-League and you see it straight away as soon as they enter the league environment.
"We need to get better resources and make sure all our footballers are being challenged and training in a quality environment.
"There are far too many NPLW teams out there that just concentrate on their first grade teams, where our focus should be on the development of our juniors."
