Metered street parking on Third and Forster Streets ($.75 for 15 minutes, or $3.00 per hour. Meters run Monday thru Saturday). The meters will accept credit cards, debit cards, quarters, or Park Harrisburg Smart Cards. We suggest that you bring enough change to accommodate your needs as we are unable to provide change. Meters are monitored closely throughout the day. If you choose to park in nearby unmetered spaces, please be aware of restrictions such as street cleaning, snow removal, or permit-required parking for residents during certain hours. For more information, visit the Park Harrisburg website.
On Saturdays any spaces that are marked for Commonwealth employee parking around the Capitol Complex are open to anyone for free parking. That includes North Street (directly on the opposite side of the State Museum from Forster Street), Commonwealth Avenue, and the spaces around Soldiers Grove. It does NOT apply to spaces marked for Capitol Police - you will find some of those on North Street and in front of the Capitol on Commonwealth Avenue.
Parking garages can by located by visiting the Park Harrisburg website to see a full list of options. The 7th Street and South Street Garages are physically closest to the Archives.

Péssima Influência é um espetáculo de stand-up comedy apresentado pelo humorista Rafinha Bastos, entre 2011 e 2014. É o segundo show solo oficial do humorista.

Informações

Péssima Influência contêm novas piadas escritas por Bastos e mais uma vez exploram temas diversos como família, religião, estilos musicais e deficiência visual. Problemas na justiça envolvendo seu stand-up anterior, A Arte do Insulto, como os processos que ele recebeu da APAE e do estado de Rondônia, assim como os que causaram sua saída do humorístico CQC, também serviram de piadas para Péssima Influência.

Assim como foi feito com A Arte do Insulto, uma das últimas apresentações de Péssima Influência a princípio também seria lançado em DVD. O espetáculo foi gravado no Teatro Bradesco, em São Paulo, no dia 16 de Novembro de 2014. Em 7 de Abril de 2015, Bastos anuncia em seu perfil oficial do Facebook que estaria lançando a apresentação na íntegra somente no seu canal oficial no You Tube no dia 5 de Maio. Em 28 de Abril, Bastos disponibiliza uma prévia do espetáculo. Em 5 de Maio, Bastos lança o espetáculo na íntegra.

Repercussão

Durante sua primeira semana de exibição pelo You Tube, Péssima Influência se tornou um dos vídeos mais assistidos da rede com 600 mil visualizações. Em três semanas, o vídeo obteve 1 milhão de visualizações, batendo o recorde de seu stand-up anterior, A Arte do Insulto, que quando lançado em DVD obteve 25 mil cópias vendidas no período de três meses, e 2 milhões de visualizações no YouTube, em dois anos.

Top 10 Things to Do in Vračar, Belgrade
St. Sava, Belgrade, Serbia | © Slavica Stajic / Shutterstock
Vračar might be Belgrade's smallest municipality in terms of area, but it more than packs a punch. Home to the city's most genuine Bohemian culture, a vast array of sights and Belgrade's most iconic landmark, Vračar is proof that good things really do come in small packages.
Gawp at the region's biggest church
There are plenty of impressive churches in the Balkans, but they all pale in comparison to the might of Vračar's Church of St. Sava. Built on the spot where the great saint's remains were burned by the Ottomans, the monolithic structure is the biggest church in the region and then some. The interior is as yet unfinished, but that only adds an extra element of wonder to this incredible landmark.

Stare up at the city's skyscraper
Belgrade is a modern city, and nothing embodies that more than the Belgrade Palace. Better known as Beograđanka, this 24-storey (with five more underground) high-rise tower stands tall over the bottom part of Vračar, in stark contrast to the more humble buildings in the immediate vicinity. The top floor restaurant may be long closed and the tower is mostly used for offices, but the real value with Beograđanka is staring at it from the outside.

Look for a bargain at the market
Kalenić bleeds into Vračar's borders, and a visit to the green market is a must for anyone looking to discover everyday life in the Serbian capital. It might not be the vintage dreamland that many people hope to find, but the market is full of hustle and bustle, not to mention a mass of fresh fruits and vegetables. The market went under a controversial reconstruction not too long ago, but the drab aesthetic has done little to dampen the energy when it comes to shopping time.

Read a book at the library
Just outside the Church of St. Sava lies the National Library of Serbia, the largest of its kind in the country. It also happens to be the oldest institution in Serbia, first opening its doors way back in 1832. It is home to a humongous collection of books, with a vast array of languages covered inside. There are also plenty of special collections, making the National Library well worth a visit.
Invent the 20th century
You won't actually invent the 20th century, but in Vračar you can visit the museum dedicated to the man who did. Nikola Tesla is without doubt the most revered of all modern Serbs, and his influence on the modern technological boom cannot be overstated. Tesla is considered to be the brains behind wireless technology, remote control, radio and a whole host of other inventions, not to mention the system of electricity that we use today. The Nikola Tesla Museum is an absolute must when in Belgrade, let alone Vračar.

Get stuck on Slavija Square
Getting stuck in traffic doesn't sound like your usual tourist experience, but spending way too long on a bus on Slavija Square is almost a rite of passage in the Serbian capital. The Vračar square has long been the bane of city centre existence, and the addition of a gaudy musical fountain didn't help matters. Things are improving, but this is still a place where logic seems to go out of the window. Is it fun? No, but there is something weirdly comic about it all.

Eat and drink the night away
Skadarlija is advertised as the Bohemian Quarter of Belgrade, but the real deal is found on the Vračar plateau. Every street seems to come complete with a number of busy bars and cafés, full to breaking point with artists and ordinary people alike, talking and talking until there is no talking left to do. Many of the capital's best restaurants are also found here, a number of which are just a stone's throw from the Church of St. Sava.

A night at the theatre
The reconstruction of Cvetni trg hasn't exactly attracted much in the way of acclaim, but the Yugoslav Drama Theatre continues to churn out top quality productions on a regular basis. An easily recognised glass building, the theatre was established in 1947 and was intended to act as a central hub for actors and directors from all over Yugoslavia, from Ljubljana all the way down to Skopje. Many experimental young directors got their start here, so be sure to check out a production when you're in town.

Get creative at Peyton's Place
Named after the 1960s American soap opera, Gradić Pejton (Peyton's Place, for the record) was once home to craftsmen of all types. The glory days might be gone, but this was where the artisans flocked in order to settle in Belgrade, and the clanging of metal could be heard from dawn until dusk. The government threatened to tear the settlement down in 2005, prompting a strong response from Belgraders of all shapes and sizes.
The wacky world of Serbian football
Red Star and Partizan Belgrade dominate Serbian football (a giant understatement), but Vračar is home to the only other team to have won the national league since the demise of Yugoslavia. FK Obilić are no longer a competitive team, but the story of the 1997/98 season is one of the strangest in modern footballing history. It was an example of crime paying, but short-term gain was followed by long-term pain.

Q: use of "lest" grammar I'll go straight to the point, I was reading an article in the NYT

he never put his uniform back on, LEST he become the target of protesters.

May you help to understand how to use it ? Is it of common usage?

A: lest - for fear that; "she tiptoed lest her mother should hear her"
This is a somewhat archaic term that still appears in modern speech and writing from time to time. It is very common in the Authorized Version of the Bible. Also note that it is pronounced with a short "e" sound, like "best." Many people mispronounce it as "least."

Today, Coca-Cola Great Britain (CCGB) reveals the next phase of Choose Happiness, the first campaign under the new one brand strategy. Following on from the 'What Are You Waiting For?' TVC released last month, the brand is today launching 'Choose Coca-Cola' – a new TVC which showcases the full range of Coca-Cola.
The TVC illustrates the full Coca-Cola range and brings to the life the distinct characteristics of each variant together for the first time. The advert also references the heritage of the brand and includes an array of cultural moments across the decades, from the 1890s, through to the 80s and 90s, and up to the present day.
Created by Ogilvy Amsterdam, the advert airs from 1 June and features a catchy electro sound track, 'Honeytrap' by British music group 'We Have Band'.
New out of home advertising featuring iconic London landmarks and references will also run across the capital. The Coca-Cola London Eye is one of the London landmarks featured in the new creative that will run from 1 June in key locations, as well as across London buses and taxis.
Alongside the new creative, the brand continues to encourage consumers to Choose Happiness with a new onpack promotion to help consumers capture the moments that make them happy across the summer. Up to one million selfie sticks will be up for grabs on 500ml bottles of Coca-Cola across all variants from the start of the month.


The Department of Anthropology and Sociology believes that anthropology and sociology are closely related social sciences. Both are oriented toward the systematic study of beliefs and practices of diverse peoples and groups, though sociologists traditionally study people in contemporary, proximate society and anthropologists traditionally study people faraway in space or time (from modern-day Africa to pre-Columbian America). Both fields nevertheless share the desire to understand the meanings of social behaviors and cultural products, both material and nonmaterial, that emerge from and influence these behaviors.
Department faculty study a wide range of topics, from the archaeology of the Mid-Atlantic region to the effects of globalization on people in such countries as India and Peru; from the experiences of Americans at work today to the experiences and effects of gender, race, ethnicity, and social class in a wide range of sites; from the cultural practices of African immigrants to the U.S. to the effects of digital technologies on contemporary societies; from the study of the cultural meanings of hats worn by Bolivians to the study of social movements (protest movements and the like).
Department curricula teach the foundations of anthropology and sociology in the classroom, and the department seeks to enhance the education of its students through a number of applied or "hands-on" experiences. Students are encouraged to become involved in specialized projects, such as local archaeological excavations and community organizing internships. The department also encourages students to develop an interest in international concerns. Toward that end, students are periodically offered the opportunity to participate in overseas trips under the guidance of department members.

The mean speed theorem, also known as the Merton rule of uniform acceleration, was discovered in the 14th century by the Oxford Calculators of Merton College, and was proved by Nicole Oresme. It states that a uniformly accelerated body (starting from rest, i.e. zero initial velocity) travels the same distance as a body with uniform speed whose speed is half the final velocity of the accelerated body.

Details
Oresme provided a geometrical verification for the generalized Merton rule, which we would express today as  (i.e., distance traveled is equal to one half of the sum of the initial  and final  velocities, multiplied by the elapsed time ), by finding the area of a trapezoid.  Clay tablets used in Babylonian astronomy (350–50 BC) present trapezoid procedures for computing Jupiter's position and motion and anticipate the theorem by 14 centuries.

The medieval scientists demonstrated this theorem—the foundation of "the law of falling bodies"—long before Galileo, who is generally credited with it. Oresme's proof is also the first known example of the modelization of a physical problem as a mathematical function with a graphical representation, as well as of an early form of integration, thus laying the foundation of calculus. The mathematical physicist and historian of science Clifford Truesdell, wrote:

The theorem is a special case of the more general kinematics equations for uniform acceleration.

"Situational Ethics at Its Worst"
In THE CONFIRMATION, a down-on-his-luck father's relationship with his young son grows through mishaps and life lessons as the son awaits his confirmation day in his mother's Catholic church. In a Seattle suburb, Walt clashes with his ex-wife as he picks up their son for a visit. He asks her: How much trouble could they get into in one day? Turns out, a lot. On the hunt for some missing tools, father and son encounter a bevy of barflies and thieves around town. In the end, they come to a new understanding about loving and forgiving others.
Despite some positive moral, redemptive elements, THE CONFIRMATION veers from Christian orthodoxy into situational ethics and agnostic philosophy. Anthony wants to disavow the church altogether. Meanwhile, although his ne'er-do-well, agnostic father questions the church, he tells Anthony to obey his mother and go to church. He reminds Anthony he can decide what to believe when he's older. Throughout their search for the stolen tools, absolute truth is sacrificed for personal gain again and again. So, despite some positive elements, THE CONFIRMATION contains too many negatives.
(PaPaPa, HH, AbAb, FRFR, C, B, LLL, VV, AA, MM) Very strong, somewhat mixed, pagan worldview includes humanist and sometimes sarcastic attitudes toward biblical morality and Christian hypocrisy, divorced father tells son to obey his mother's command to go to church and get confirmed but says son can decide later when he becomes older what to believe, boy consistently bends the truth to practice situational ethics, and father tells son people can't really know whether God is real or not, mixed with some positive, if murky, Christian content, including boy does go to Confession twice and decides to get confirmed anyway despite his doubts and confusion about religion, and the Golden Rule is stressed; about 31 obscenities and profanities; a gun pulled on a teenager by a child, a gun pulled by an adult with a child present, multiple fist-fights and assaults, a stranger manhandles a child, a child hits another child with an object but later apologizes; no sex, but a brochure is shown that mentions sex in the context of a Catholic marriage; no nudity; several scenes of man drinking at a tavern and at home, sometimes around a child (including a scary scene of a father having withdrawals, forcing his son to call for help), but father is later inspired to stop drinking; meth is mentioned twice; and, a child fearing and running out of a church after seeing an image of Jesus on the crucifix (though, he later chooses to be Confirmed), biblical stained glass images and text made to look imposing, an insinuation at one or two points that Christians are unlikable, lifeless, strict, judgmental, and/or dull, main characters lie throughout (often portrayed as the necessary or better choice) by several characters, including lying to a police officer, a child lies to parents, purity is mocked (including fidelity in marriage), repeatedly stealing money and taking an object in revenge, and an awkward divorced family dynamic devalues and belittles marriage and the stepparent, but is slightly redeemed in the end.
In THE CONFIRMATION, a down-on-his-luck dad and his young son's relationship grows through a series of mishaps and life lessons as the son awaits his confirmation day at his mother's Catholic church. Ultimately, despite some positive moral, redemptive elements, this down-to-earth family drama stresses situational ethics and agnosticism, not solid biblical truth, with the son being left to make the final decision on how he feels about God, Jesus and church.
In a Seattle suburb, Walt (Clive Owens) clashes with his ex-wife as he picks up their son for a visit when the ex-wife and her new husband have to go away on a church retreat. Just how much trouble could they get into in only one day? he pleads. Turns out, a lot.
Meanwhile, at church, 8-year-old Anthony (Jaeden Lieberher) is exasperating the priest and getting stern looks from a parishioner. After uttering one line of the Lord's Prayer, Anthony is frightened at the sight of Jesus suffering on a crucifix. The boy literally runs out of the church. The insinuation is that he's fleeing an "oppressive" system toward "freedom" outside the doors.
While out together, Walt and Anthony discover dad's special tools have been stolen from his rundown truck. A hunt for the robber ensues, uncovering barflies and thieves, with help from a goofy guy and a new friend. Father and son must decide who's telling the truth, and whom they can trust.
Along the way, Anthony discovers his father has strong personal demons, especially alcoholism. He lacks work and income, but does have a passion for design and craftsmanship. Walt's instability is a morally mixed bag of excitement in contrast the dour, strict religious attitudes of Anthony's mother.
A few funny moments are dotted here and there, while other scenes are poignant, scary or somber. For example, Anthony and other children sometimes fend for themselves due to their parents' lack of responsibility. The sadness of divorce weighs on the main characters.
What at first seems incidental actually clues in media-wise viewers to something deeper: Anthony's bedroom is covered in science related posters, including ones displaying former Seattle-based Bill Nye ("The Science Guy"), who in real life is an agnostic. The movie seems to give Nye a mouthpiece through Walt, who tells Anthony, "You can't know" if God is real; something Nye has said in interviews. When Anthony shares that his teacher says there could be more than one universe, Walt's response sounds naïve and old-fashioned. Thus, supporting the teacher appears to be the movie's direct homage to Nye, a science education advocate. Nye is also the CEO of a space exploration company started by Carl Sagan that has a goal of seeking life outside of earth.
In the movie, Anthony's swirling universes, his mother's, father's, the church's, and his own, are each inconsistent. The story is set one week before Anthony's scheduled for his Catholic confirmation. Anthony wants to disavow the church altogether. Meanwhile, although his ne'er-do-well, agnostic father questions Christian belief and the church, he tells Anthony to obey his mother anyway, and, when he gets older, he can decide for himself what to believe. Also, for all his hang-ups, Walt still tells his son that "bad workmanship is a sin," and that "God lives in the details." On the other hand, though she clearly cares about Anthony, Anthony's mother carries an air of hypocrisy about her. Both she and the father stress the Golden Rule to Anthony. Finally, Anthony himself gives to charity, but he also repeatedly lies.
Eventually, in their search for the stolen tools, Walt and Anthony experience the idea that no one is perfect and forgiveness is needed to make peace. Situations are packaged, ironically, in material that is stereotypically Catholic: poverty, homelessness, hunger, charity, and family. The movie asserts that a person can still do good, whether one trusts in Jesus and His church or not. This contradicts Psalm 14:3, Psalm 16:2 and Luke 18:19, which say no one is truly good apart from God, despite their good deeds.
Throughout THE CONFIRMATION, the father and his son bend the truth to achieve one end or another. Some of the ends are shown as good, while others are not. Essentially, the moral philosophy presented in THE CONFIRMATION takes many cues from Joseph Fletcher. In 1966, this Episcopalian professor published, "Situation Ethics: The New Morality," and popularized a sly approach to decision making. Fletcher says love alone should be the guiding factor in each situation. However, critics have pointed out some flaws in Fletcher's moral philosophy: 1) Our highest calling is to love, obey and glorify God (not make up our own rules along the way); 2) Flawed humans may misjudge the end results of their choice to lie (or commit another sin) while trying to be "loving" toward one another; and, 3) Our vision is too subjective, so we need an objective standard (a law) to guide everyone.
In contrast to situational ethics, Scripture extols holding onto God's ways by telling the truth in love and not going off on one's own path:
"O Lord, I know the way of man is not in himself; it is not in man who walks to direct his own steps" (Jer. 10:23).
"No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it" (1 Cor. 10:13).
Ultimately, THE CONFIRMATION presents a mixed bag. Despite some positive elements, the movie contains too many negatives.

VR optics could help old folks keep the world in focus
Devin Coldewey	@techcrunch / 2 years
The complex optics involved with putting a screen an inch away from the eye in VR headsets could make for smartglasses that correct for vision problems. These prototype "autofocals" from Stanford researchers use depth sensing and gaze tracking to bring the world into focus when someone lacks the ability to do it on their own.
I talked with lead researcher Nitish Padmanaban at SIGGRAPH in Vancouver, where he and the others on his team were showing off the latest version of the system. It's meant, he explained, to be a better solution to the problem of presbyopia, which is basically when your eyes refuse to focus on close-up objects. It happens to millions of people as they age, even people with otherwise excellent vision.
There are, of course, bifocals and progressive lenses that bend light in such a way as to bring such objects into focus — purely optical solutions, and cheap as well, but inflexible, and they only provide a small "viewport" through which to view the world. And there are adjustable-lens glasses as well, but must be adjusted slowly and manually with a dial on the side. What if you could make the whole lens change shape automatically, depending on the user's need, in real time?
That's what Padmanaban and colleagues Robert Konrad and Gordon Wetzstein are working on, and although the current prototype is obviously far too bulky and limited for actual deployment, the concept seems totally sound.
Padmanaban previously worked in VR, and mentioned what's called the convergence-accommodation problem. Basically, the way that we see changes in real life when we move and refocus our eyes from far to near doesn't happen properly (if at all) in VR, and that can produce pain and nausea. Having lenses that automatically adjust based on where you're looking would be useful there — and indeed some VR developers were showing off just that only 10 feet away. But it could also apply to people who are unable to focus on nearby objects in the real world, Padmanaban thought.
This is an old prototype, but you get the idea.
It works like this. A depth sensor on the glasses collects a basic view of the scene in front of the person: a newspaper is 14 inches away, a table three feet away, the rest of the room considerably more. Then an eye-tracking system checks where the user is currently looking and cross-references that with the depth map.
Having been equipped with the specifics of the user's vision problem, for instance that they have trouble focusing on objects closer than 20 inches away, the apparatus can then make an intelligent decision as to whether and how to adjust the lenses of the glasses.
In the case above, if the user was looking at the table or the rest of the room, the glasses will assume whatever normal correction the person requires to see — perhaps none. But if they change their gaze to focus on the paper, the glasses immediately adjust the lenses (perhaps independently per eye) to bring that object into focus in a way that doesn't strain the person's eyes.
The whole process of checking the gaze, depth of the selected object and adjustment of the lenses takes a total of about 150 milliseconds. That's long enough that the user might notice it happens, but the whole process of redirecting and refocusing one's gaze takes perhaps three or four times that long — so the changes in the device will be complete by the time the user's eyes would normally be at rest again.
"Even with an early prototype, the Autofocals are comparable to and sometimes better than traditional correction," reads a short summary of the research published for SIGGRAPH. "Furthermore, the 'natural' operation of the Autofocals makes them usable on first wear."
The team is currently conducting tests to measure more quantitatively the improvements derived from this system, and test for any possible ill effects, glitches or other complaints. They're a long way from commercialization, but Padmanaban suggested that some manufacturers are already looking into this type of method and despite its early stage, it's highly promising. We can expect to hear more from them when the full paper is published.

Finally, regarding the clock, you can customize its color (silver, blue or white), translucency, and position on the screen. The clock is simple, but very nice. It would be great if you also could customize the exit condition, as it exits with any action.
In short, WorldClock Screensaver is a great screensaver that offers lots of features and definitely deserves a try.

Deep ruby in the glass. The nose opens with crushed berries, black cherries and spices followed by a light floral note. Full and rich, yet sleek and elegant, with lingering spice on the palate.
Also known as "Le Puglie" in the plural form, this region contains, in fact, many souls. The "heel of Italy's boot", Apulia is a charming region that can be visited all year round and is suspended among nature, history, tradition, tastes and spirituality.
Apulia, the spur of the Italian Boot, is an enchanting region that spreads lengthwise along the sea — marvelous beaches that will delight every traveler, from the sandy Torre dell'Orso and Porto Cesario, to the rocky, boulder-encrusted Riviera of Otranto and Santa Maria di Leuca. At Santa Maria di Leuca the calm and crystalline waters of the Ionian Sea mix with those of the intense and azure Adriatic. Sea lovers have multiple options in Apulia, from Gallipoli, the "Gem of Salento", to Gargano, "Italy's Buttress", which protrudes out into the clear sea, where one finds the the beautiful Tremiti Islands.
Nature is the protagonist again in the Murgia National Park, and in Gargano's wild Umbra forest, its salt pans and lakes. Visit the marine reserve of Torre Guaceto and the deep ravines of Laterza and wide dolines (depressions in the terrain) of Altamura characterize the hinterland of the region with their charming landscapes. For those who want to travel through history, Apulia offers a wide range of places that testify to the ancient origins of this land: from prehistory to Magna Graecia, from the Imperial Age to the Renaissance and the Baroque splendor of Lecce and of Salento. The trulli, for example those of Valle d'Itria, offer an evocative testimony to the rural past of the region. Meanwhile, numerous castles dot the coasts of the southern coast, hinting at an era when both perils and commerce landed on these shores.
For who is interested in tradition and folk music, should attend the numerous festivals and fish sagre that in summertime run throughout the region.
The provinces of Apulia are: Bari (regional capital), Brindisi, Foggia, Lecce and Taranto, Barletta-Andria-Trani.

What is Microsoft Teams and why do I need it?
By FitzroviaMarketing: July 27, 2020 Category: Industry News
This is an excerpt from our new eBook – the ultimate guide to Microsoft Teams. Check it out – here.
This year the way we work has changed, bringing the age of remote working to the forefront of our minds and while many of us are navigating our way through working from home and reimagining our workflows a market leader is emerging as a must-have tool. Microsoft Teams. If you're not familiar with Teams, we've put together a crash course on why this is a game-changing app. MS Teams is changing the way businesses work, especially throughout COVID-19, and cements the place of Office 365 as an enterprise solution.
What is Microsoft Teams?
Described as a hub for teamwork, organisation and collaboration – MS Teams is built on the Office 365 platform, coming feature-packed with modern communication capabilities, extensive third-party app support and real-time collaboration.
Microsoft Teams is the single interface that brings together many of the essential O365 abilities and allows users to seamlessly work on, store and share department or project-based works. Not only that, but MS Teams can work as a comprehensive enterprise telephony system – meaning that users can have a DDI (direct dial-in) number linked directly to their account.
MS Teams is a vital piece of the puzzle for the modern workplace.
How much does Microsoft Teams cost?
Put simply – MS Teams is available with limited functionality as a free application or as part of an Office365 subscription, it is not however available as a standalone product. But perhaps the biggest incentive to Microsoft Teams is the likelihood of companies already having an Office365 subscription.
Office365 enterprise and business plans are typically charged on a per month, per user basis with an annual commitment. If you don't yet have an active subscription, our team can assist in planning your adoption or migration of the platform.
For readers looking to gain an understanding of the tool, the free version offers a well-rounded platform to test the organisational fit. The comparison table in our new ebook shows the varying levels of functionality and inclusions.
What are the advantages of Microsoft Teams?
Some may be wondering whether the platform is worth rolling out to their teams – and the answer from across the web is a resounding yes. Here's why:
Reduce organisational email clutter
There are times when our inboxes can get out of control, and with a constant flow of new documents, document revisions and simple FYIs, it can be easy to miss your important emails. The great part of MS Teams is that it has been developed with to improve employee communications, with consideration to the many common types of comms typically sent in emails. Now employees can chat, share files, book meetings and integrate apps/websites without undue emails.
Thanks to MS Teams (and O365), users can bid farewell to inbox clutter. With Teams, users can cover small questions in chat, tag team members in important updates and update documents without worry of version control. While it's true, Teams may not necessarily minimise the number of things you need to action, it does serve as a great way to minimise obtrusive notifications and stay updated how it suits you.
Pertinent to the times we currently find ourselves in, and perhaps one of the reasons why MS Teams is gaining such traction are the virtual meeting functionalities that come inbuilt in the platform. This is two sided, not only does Teams help prepare for meetings without the dreaded email clutter, but it also has powerful capabilities in connecting many users at a time.
MS Teams outshines its competitors when it comes to live events, allowing companies to plan large meetings, webinars, company-wide events and even presentations to audiences of up to 10,000 attendees. Plus, while you're on the conference, Teams provides users the functionality for note taking, screen sharing, recording and instant messaging.
Typically, businesses may have found themselves using a number of different tools to get the job done, but now – with the help of MS Teams – digital meetings have grown to meet the demands of the modern business. And with MS Teams due to replace Skype for Business, there's not been a better time to get involved.
While there's no doubting that Microsoft Teams is built with user experience in mind, the same can also be said for the security which surrounds it. MS Teams has been built using a variety of modern authentication protocols (two factor authentication, single sign on active directory among many others) which ensure complete control over how data is protected.
While every business is different, we recommend working with a trusted IT partner to establish security requirements and goals during the setup phases of MS Teams.

After UK organic baby food firm Ella's Kitchen was snapped up by a US buyer a fortnight ago, last week a peer across the pond, Happy Family, revealed it agreed to sell to Danone, representing the Aptamil and Cow & Gate owner's move into the category. Elsewhere, Morrisons' move into the UK online grocery channel through a venture with Ocado and Nelson Peltz's fresh investment in Mondelez International and PepsiCo grabbed the headlines. Our top coverage last week also included an interview with US frozen, organic and free-from business Amy's Kitchen and a look at the rise of caffeine in food in the US.
Danone's deal to acquire over 90% of US organic baby food firm Happy Family is a first for the French food giant in the category and appears to strengthen its fast-growing infant-nutrition division. Michelle Russell takes a look at the deal.
After months of talks, Morrisons has announced plans to launch an online grocery service through a venture with specialist Ocado. Waitrose, which already has a partnership with Ocado, is studying the deal closely.
Trian Fund Management, the investment vehicle of activist shareholder Nelson Peltz, has upped its stakes in snack food giants PepsiCo and Mondelez International.
At first it appeared the villain of the piece with the launch of its Alert Energy Caffeine Gum, which prompted an FDA review of caffeine in foods. However, Wrigley was subsequently praised by the regulator for showing "leadership" when it halted production. So far, however, no other food companies have shown that level of support for the FDA's move. Ben Cooper reports.
Amy's Kitchen, the US frozen-food, organic and free-from business, is a quarter of a century old this year but there is a passion - almost a sense of mission - one would normally associate with a start-up. Dean Best spoke to co-owner Amy Berliner and European commercial director Damien Threadgold.
The CEO of US frozen-food firm Overhill Farms has said the sale of the business to peer Bellisio Foods is the best way to maximise value for shareholders.
US breakfast cereal firm Post Holdings has insisted its work to make its business more "reliable" are starting to show despite mixed first-half results.
Chilled foods supplier Bakkavor has closed its plant in Canada just two years after the opening of the site marked the UK-based firm's entry into the country's grocery market.
Asda CEO Andy Clarke today (16 May) hit out at the "gimmicky" and "unsustainable" promotions of its rivals and said the UK grocer's "clarity" on prices was paying off.
US dairy kefir maker Lifeway Foods has said its recent expansion into the UK positions the company to pursue additional distribution opportunities throughout Europe.
INDIA: Lactalis "nears deal for dairy firm Tirumala"


It's a good idea to find a squash club if you want to play squash. There are plenty of squash courts around the place that allow you to chase that little black ball around the box whilst working up a sweat. The easiest way to find one that suits you is to jump online and search. Another alternative is to ask someone else because there is a good chance they'll know where to go.
Simply being shown how to hold the racket correctly can not only give you some much needed confidence, but it can make all the difference between connecting with the ball and hitting air. Whilst a fellow SquashBuddy might have some good tips for you, it is better to seek out help and get guidance from a qualified coach since they are the ones trained to teach the game to someone like you. They will tell you what you're doing right as well as what you're doing wrong. Doing this in a group programme is an even better way to get advice while socialising with friends.
It's good to be able to serve, know a few basic shots and have a decent rally with your playing partner. You also need to be able to keep your cool when things don't work. You will hit the tin lots of times so practice, practice, practice. Then practice some more. If you are limited in the time you can spend practicing, concentrate on shorter games and nail the basic shots. Jump online and watch the technique videos or check out the stylish posters on the club wall. If you can develop reasonable accuracy and control at shorter lengths, you will enjoy your game and be able to hold a rally much better than someone who cannot keep the ball in play.
At some point you'll be wanting to get your own racket and balls. Different types of ball have different coloured dots on them - denoting different levels of bounciness and hang time. If beginning stick to a single blue or red dot. As for your racket, pick one up and have a swing. Find one that feels comfortable to hold that isn't too heavy. Your pro shop will be able to help you find one that suits. If you're strapped for cash and depending on your level of squash and how often you will commit to playing, you could buy a second hand racket to start, or borrow one from a fellow club mate.
Learning how to play may be the most important part of becoming a squashie, but not to be overlooked is knowing what to wear. Who doesn't want to look sharp while working up a sweat and burning those nasty calories? All you really need is a comfortable tee shirt and a pair of shorts that fit you well and allow free range of motion. The right footwear is essential, but you can hold off on purchasing squash shoes until you become more serious about the game. Stick with solid cross-training shoes that you can use on and off the court and which give you good protection.
When you're just starting out it is good to set yourself some goals. We suggest making a commitment and setting a reasonable timeframe. Don't be too hard on yourself though - remember, you're just starting out. As you reach each of your goals you can reevaluate how much time you are playing squash and what you are trying to achieve.
There are a lot of ways you can play squash. Studies show strong social connections can have a positive impact on health and well-being which leads to a positive club experience. This means that people who play together are far more likely to keep playing than those who go alone. So grab some mates and hit the courts. The support of others works wonders!
Make sure you have everything you need beforehand, your racket and balls, a water bottle, a towel, something to snack on and of course remember to put your game face on. If you forget anything, your fellow club mates should be your first port of call. If no-one is around, chances are they are already on court!
The club is delighted you are there, but less so if you injure yourself or someone else, so learn to warm yourself and the ball up first.
Try to not get in your playing partner's way when it is their shot. It is always pretty important to remember where they are.
Squashies are understanding of first time players and will help you along, you can help too by asking lots of questions - of and course practice.
When you're starting out, don't worry too much about the rules. After each game, review the various situations you found yourself in and determine how the rules applied, so next time, you'll know what to do.
The great thing about squash is even if your game wasn't that great, you will have burned off plenty of calories and hit some amazing shots that will have you coming back for more. After your match be sure to shake your playing partners' hand. Then it's time to talk with your friends about your best shots and your worst, have a great laugh and organise when and where you're next going to play again.

8 Terrifying Animals in Australia
KAF Editor
Australia is both a sovereign country and a continent. It is officially known as the Commonwealth of Australia and its unofficial name is 'Down Under' or 'the land Down Under'. It is known for its scenic landscapes and beaches. Did you know that you can visit the beaches in Australia all year round and still be left with more to explore? With all this beauty, there is also a daunting experience that some may face. There are creatures that you would not want to cross path with or be on the receiving end of their wrath. We look at 8 terrifying animals in Australia.
While there are beautiful places to visit in explore, you will have to know the creatures that may pose a threat to you. Stay informed and stay safe. Here are some of the animals that may terrify you while in Australia:
8. Funnel-web spider
The Funnel-web spider is mostly found in Sydney. Since they hide during the day because they can be killed by direct UV light, it is advisable that you carefully look through spaces that may provide them with some shade during the day. Yes, do check your shoes before putting them on! Also, do check piled bricks and logs before you handle them.
7. Dingoes
Although dingoes look like cute, cuddly dogs, do not be deceived by their looks. They can be found across Australis but they mostly inhabit Fraser Island and the outback. If you go camping, stay safe, and do not attempt to befriend them as they can turn vicious on you.
6. Jellyfish
The types of jellyfish that you should be cautious of are the Boc jellyfish and the Irukandji jellyfish. Sure, it does feel good to dip into the cool blue waters but these may be beneath the water surface and a sting from them may prove to be fatal. The Irukandji jellyfish is found in deep waters whereas the Box jellyfish are found in shallow waters.
5. Cassowary
The Cassowary has made appearances at Mission Beach and in Cape Tribulation. It is a colorful and beautiful bird that resembles the emu. However, an encounter with them may not be so beautiful. They are known to get aggressive and can attack humans.
4. Saltwater Crocodiles
Also known as estuarine crocodiles, these crocodiles inhabit freshwater, estuaries, and the ocean. They can attack and snap you with their sharp teeth. Take all caution when you are near water bodies in which the crocodiles may be living in.
3. Common Death Adder
Just like its name implies, a bite from the common death adder can lead to death. It uses camouflage to hide and blend in with its surroundings, especially leaf litter. They are spread across the Sydney bushland and therefore, you need to be careful while exploring the outdoors. With long fangs that can penetrate deeply, the venom from this snake paralyzes the victim by slowing down the sensory and motor functions, and the numbness and slow respiration can lead to death.
2. Stinging Cone Shell Snails
You will need to watch your step and not step on dangerous animals, such as the cone shell snail. Armed with a tooth that can inject venom, a bite from this snail can result in affected speech and blurred vision.
1. Tasmanian Devil
The Tasmanian Devil is an endangered Australian marsupial that is carnivorous. If you watched cartoons in the early 90s, you may recall a cartoon called Tasmanian Devil. However, if you come across a Tasmanian Devil in person, you should watch it from afar and keep your distances. While it may retreat in most cases, it can attack if it feels that it is under threat. A bite from their powerful jaws can be quite painful.
Have Fun but Stay Safe
We hope that with the information of 8 terrifying animals in Australia, you will be able to identify them and stay away from danger. Enjoy the beautiful sceneries but keep an eye out for the terrifying animals. Listen to the locals and the travel advisories.

10 Prehistoric Giants of Australia
AskUs: Why is the ocean really dark in some places and in some places has a turquoise color?
AskUs: Why is Australia full of poisonous creatures, but not New Zealand?
30 Facts About Crocodiles
All of these animals will only f**k with you if you f**k with them.
Just like any other country.
Australia is not getting swarmed by evil jellyfish and tasmanian devils.
It's interesting that rarely are there lists of terrifying animals from other countries, or the opposite, adorable animals from Australia.
It's all a bit ridiculous.

Q: How can i make jenkins test for CDI runtime failures? introduction
For a (school) project I'm working on we have to develop a medium sized java app that in our case uses javaFX and java CDI dependency injection, we have a scripted jenkins pipeline based on a groovy file that checks every pull request so branches that don't meet quality requirements or fail building can't be merged.
problem
Now we have the issue that only 25% of the developers currently actually run the application to test if their additions work, since the project is in so early stages that a lot of functionality we are currently working on does not get used by the GUI yet. The other 75% of developers use JUnit unit- and intergration-tests to check if their code works. While we could try to say everyone needs to run the actual application before making a pull request to check if there are no runtime errors with java CDI dependency injection. People are people and don't always listen so we quite often get code into develop that succeeds with maven but cant be run due to dependency injection issues.
question
What is the easiest way to check in the jenkins build that there are no issues with java CDI dependency injection that are going to pop up runtime?
sidenote
We already use JUnit but not all tests currently use weld injection for test, if its possible to make a single tests that checks all dependency injection issues that would also work instead of a jenkins based solution.

A: Your CI(continuous integration) approach is good. Testing all PRs is a way to go, you just need to decide what kind of test should be executed. JUnit style, or integration tests? Maybe both?
CDI itself has a deployment validation phase at which it checks, at bootstrap, if things are alright - if beans are passivation capable (those that should), if all declared injection points can be satisfied and so on. This can catch many user-errors before hitting runtime, so just deploying the app shows it. You can, and should, use Arquillian to set up a testing environment much like the actual runtime environment. Note that this validation (no validation in fact) cannot check dynamic resolution errors. E.g. when you use Instance<Object> and then try to resolve a bean that doesn't exist without checking.
If this isn't what you wanted, then you can consider weld-junit extension. This leverages junit (4 or 5) to bootstrap Weld SE container in which you can play around with your beans and test them. Look into READMEs and tests in the projects for examples. This doesn't reflect pure EE environment but is more of a junit style testing with CDI in it and easy to get started with.
Note that with Jenkins, you can setup multiple tasks for each PR. You can make it run all the JUnit tests as well as all the integration (Arquillian) tests for instance.

Keys to the Electric Grid
With thousands of miles of power lines and 7,300 power plants, America's electric grid relies on all parts to work together to keep power flowing. (Photograph by Matthew Henry)
Paul Wesslund
America's electric grid is often called the most complex machine in the world. That's not a stretch when you think about what it does. It runs your refrigerator and charges your phone, all from a ray of sunshine, a lump of coal, falling water or a prairie breeze.
In between those starting and ending points are 160,000 miles of high-voltage transmission lines; millions of miles of low-voltage power lines; 7,300 power plants; nearly 200,000 electric utility employees; and thousands of electrical substations and transformers that adjust voltage for the cross-country trip along transmission lines before entering your home or business. All these parts must work together to keep power flowing safely.
For all its complexity, the electric grid can be described as having three major parts: a power source, such as a hydroelectric dam, natural gas plant or wind turbine; the wires and equipment that deliver power; and a home or business that receives the power.
The electric grid must adapt to weather patterns, cybersecurity threats, consumer expectations and decentralized power sources—big changes for a vast and intricate system. Here are four ways it is adapting.
Resilience in the Face of Severe Weather
2020 was the busiest recorded hurricane season along the Atlantic Coast. Wildfires were increasingly intense, especially in the West, and ice storms and cold weather surprised the South. These changes call for new ways to make sure the lights stay on.
Electric utilities are increasing grid resilience by integrating weather forecasting with other smart technologies that monitor electric current and determine how to respond. By knowing how weather affects equipment, crews can quickly redirect the flow of electricity, minimizing the duration of an outage.
Strengthening Cybersafety
Cybersecurity measures have become standard operating procedure for utilities to protect against cyberattacks. Electric utilities work closely with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to monitor and strengthen defenses. Consumer-members are urged to protect themselves from hackers. When printers and smart TVs connect to the internet, they become part of the electric grid.
More Power to Consumers
Many utilities have voluntary programs that manage electric loads by turning off water heaters or air conditioners for a short time. These programs add another layer of coordination. Additionally, some homeowners with solar panels on their roofs or in their backyards sell excess electricity back to the utility over the electric grid.
Keeping Up With Change
Large fields of wind farms and solar power arrays require transmission lines to new locations—and planning for a kind of power that might only operate when the sun shines or the wind blows. These changes are necessary and helpful, but also expensive.
Annual spending on the U.S. transmission system increased from $9 billion a year in 2002 to $40 billion in 2019. That investment to increase the robustness of the grid is paying off. According to the Energy Information Administration, Americans experienced an average of about eight hours of power interruptions in 2017, but five hours in 2019.
Unlike the Lower 48 states, Alaskans are not linked to large, interconnected grids. The Railbelt electrical grid stretches from Fairbanks through Anchorage to the Kenai Peninsula and provides roughly 79% of the state's electrical energy. However, Alaska has more than 150 islanded, stand-alone electrical grids serving rural villages.
Paul Wesslund writes on consumer and public power affairs for the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association.

In addition to just having meeting space, hotel accommodations and not one, but two casinos, this resort has an abundance of other features. The Wynn includes more than a dozen different dining options and restaurants, as well as various different bars and lounges. The abundance of options the resort offers is sure to meet the tastes of anyone who is staying to visit a trade show or event. The resort is also equipped to handle catering for events if needed.
In addition, the venue houses two different night clubs and an outdoor beach club. Three entertainment lounges serve as the hub for comedians and other artists to perform. Another well-known attraction of the Wynn is the Lake of Dreams. This includes a waterfall show that is exclusive to visitors inside the Resort. Also, like any great resort, multiple swimming pools are available in both towers of the building.
