One of the most critical phases in the development of modern aircraft must be that of flight testing. However, there is not much room on board a test aircraft for an engineer and a computer system. Test pilots of the European Multi Role Combat Aircraft have their every airborne manoeuvre monitored by a large scale real time system, linked via telemetry to the aircraft. About 400 transducers in the aircraft record variations in performance of various parameters and pass the resulting analogue signals to a core store programmable data acquisition program. At the heart of the system is a Rank Xerox Sigma 5 computer with 48K 32-bit words of core memory, 50 million bytes of disc storage and three million bytes of rapid access storage.


The World Rugby Sevens World Series has become a stage for derbies of all sorts and the second tournament in Cape, Town, South Africa is not exempt.
When the pools were announced before teh final between South Africa and New Zealand in the openint tournament in Dubai, a scenario of derbies emerged. Pool A has an African derby between Kenya and South Africa who play the last match on the opening day.
New Zealand and Australia will renew their fierce rivalry in Pool B while England and Scotland also play one another in Pool C with Fiji and Samoa facing off in the Pacific Islands affair in Pool D.
Kenya will begin their campaign with a tricky match against France before facing an physical and unpredictable Russia before ending with the African derby against South Africa.
There are already signs of what the season could have in store after the opening leg when Collins Injera and Dennis Ombachi flew back home injured.
The blame of their injuries and that of Andrew Amonde and Billy Odhiambo squarely falls on their clubs. They were inevitable according to a former strength and conditioning coach of the team.
He explained that clubs dememnded that they play in the Kenya Rugby Union National Sevens Circuit before they had completed their rehabilitation program. "It was bound to happen. Players belong to the clubs who call the shots."
They have been replaced by rookies Arthur Owira and Sammy Muregi from KCB and Menengai Oliers. Eric Ombasa who had been named as a replacement had family commitments and opted out. Oscar Ouma, the assistant captain who was left behind when the team departed for Dubai also flew to Cape Town.
Innocent Simiyu, the Kenya Sevens head coach, in an interview with KRU is optimistic. "We started the seaon well. The boys put their best foot forward . We are so far happy with the perrformance and believe we can build on that. we need to execute better as we have the potential to close the games early. The key focus in Dubai was to get our game going and we achieved this."
Perhaps, Simiyu had in mind the missed opportunities where Kenya had a chance to beat New Zealand but conceded a late try. The 'casual' kicking by Sam Oliech has also come to the fore where he has missed kickable conversions. Kenya's game management when in the lead and handling errors are some of the key talking points after Dubai.
Simiyu said the key focus in Cape Town would be consistency. "Our key focus in Cape Town is to have the boys consistently perform to their full potential and better last year's cup quarter final performance," Simiyu stated.
In Dubai, Kenya beat Canada 29-15 in their opening match before being pelted 48-5 by South Africa but bounced to edge out Uganda 29-14 to proceed to the cup quarter finals where they were beaten 14-12 by New Zealand and 19-12 by Australia in the playoff for fifth and sixth position semis.
Simiyu also commented on the new inclusions: "Oscar brings leadership, experiene and raw power to our game which will be very vital for a good start in Cape Town. Muregi adds pace to the team. His understanding of the game and try-scoring ability are second to none while Arthur has had a very good sevens season with his club KCB and his work rate on the pitch will help us alot at the break down.
Kenya is seventh with 10 points after the Dubai sevens tournament.
Pool A: South Africa, Kenya, France, Russia.
Pool B: New Zealand, Australia, Spain, USA.
Pool C: England, Scotland, Argentina, Uganda.
Pool D: Fiji, Samoa, Canada, Wales.

Q: Chain promises with AngularJS I have a service called paymentStrategy that get injected in my controller.
$scope.buy = function() {
  paymentStrategy.buy()
    .then(function(response) {

  }
}

This buy method from paymentStrategy triggers several methods that needs to be called sequentially. When all the methods within buy() are done, then() needs to be called.
It is probably trivial but I am quite new to angular.
At the moment, buy().then() gets triggered straight after the init() methods.
I have the feeling we need to put all theses methods in a array of promises and apply $q.all().
Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated
angular.module('deps-app.payment.services', []).
  factory('paymentStrategy', function($q) {

 var deferred = $q.defer();
 var ITEM_TO_PURCHASE = "test.beer.managed";
 var promises = [];

 var handlerSuccess = function(result) {
      deferred.resolve(result);
  };

 var handlerError = function(result) {
      deferred.reject(result);
  };

 _init = function() {

     inappbilling.init(handlerSuccess, handlerError, { showLog:true });
     return deferred.promise;
    }

  _purchase = function() {
        inappbilling.buy(handlerSuccess, handlerError, ITEM_TO_PURCHASE);
        return deferred.promise;
  }

  _consume = function() {
        inappbilling.consumePurchase(handlerSuccess, handlerError, ITEM_TO_PURCHASE);
        return deferred.promise;
  }

return  {

     buy: function() {

      _init();
        .then(_purchase());
        .then(_consume());

      return deferred.promise;
    }

 }
});

A: If you need to chain promises in Angular sequentially, you can simply return the promises from one to another:
callFirst()
.then(function(firstResult){
   return callSecond();
})
.then(function(secondResult){
   return callThird();
})
.then(function(thirdResult){
   //Finally do something with promise, or even return this
});

And if you want to return all of this as an API:
function myMethod(){
   //Return the promise of the entire chain
   return first()
           .then(function(){
               return second();
           }).promise;
}

A: Make all methods atomar, by adding their own promises. In your code, the first resolve will complete the whole request.
If the methods have their own promise, you can chain them with ease.
angular.module('deps-app.payment.services', []).factory('paymentStrategy', function($q) {
var ITEM_TO_PURCHASE = "test.beer.managed";

_init = function() {
  return $q(function (resolve, reject) {
    inappbilling.init(resolve, reject, { showLog: true });
  });
};

_purchase = function() {
  return $q(function (resolve, reject) {
    inappbilling.buy(resolve, reject, ITEM_TO_PURCHASE);
  });
};

_consume = function() {
  return $q(function (resolve, reject) {
    inappbilling.consumePurchase(resolve, reject, ITEM_TO_PURCHASE);
  });
};

return  {
  // In this case, you don't need to define a additional promise,
  // because placing a return in front of the _init, will already return
  // the promise of _consume.
  buy: function() {
    return _init()
      .then(_purchase)
      // remove () from inside the callback, to pass the actual method
      // instead the result of the invoked method.
      .then(_consume);
  }
};

});

Spam Recovers From a Knockout Blow
By Robert McMillan
IDG News Service | PT
The Internet is now officially as bad as ever, at least as far as spam goes.
Google reported Tuesday that in the second half of March, spam returned to the levels last seen just prior to the November 2008 takedown of McColo. McColo was a hosting service based in San Jose, California, that was notorious for providing so-called "bulletproof" services to cybercriminals, who wanted to keep their servers running no matter what.
When McColo was knocked offline, it had a serious effect on the world's junk e-mail. Spam levels dropped by half the instant the company's upstream Internet service providers -- Global Crossing and Hurricane Electric -- refused to service the ISP, effectively unplugging McColo from the Internet.
"Spammers have clearly rallied following the McColo takedown and overall spam volume growth during Q1 2009 was the strongest it's been since early 2008, increasing an average of 1.2 percent per day," wrote Google spokeswoman Amanda Kleha in a blog posting.
In the first quarter of last year, spam grew at 1 percent per day, which was a record at the time.
Data on another spam measurement site, Spamcop, also shows that spam has bounced back.
Spammers may be getting smarter, too, Kleha said. They seem to be building more robust botnets to send out their unwanted mail and also appear to be taking steps to avoid making their ISPs the kind of obvious target that McColo was.
"They have been building new botnets, like Conficker -- which is undoubtedly designed to be difficult to take down," said Richard Cox, CIO of antispam organization Spamhaus, in an e-mail interview. He agreed with Google's conclusion that spam had now returned to pre-McColo levels.
"Spammers continue to prove their resilience," Kleha said. "They're clearly here to stay."

Masyu is a puzzle game.
Go fullscreen for the best experience.
This is a great song! Not being able to undo makes game-play frustrating. Also, I couldn't figure out how to restart without refreshing the page. The mechanic sure was interesting though.
You should be able to erase your lines with the middle mouse button just like you add them. It shows it in the tutorial, but I'll add that info too the page as well.
Good job :D just missing the monster part a bit?
Core controls are a bit fiddly- it's not clear where the actual detection is.
A cool concept for a puzzle game. The music got pretty irritating after a bit - could have used a longer loop maybe.
Nothing to do with the theme, but I've played this puzzle before and I always enjoy it. The mouse controls need some work. Middle click feels weird to erase lines.
You seem to be missing the theme, but the game is fun and hard.
@inurashii: why does this upset you so much? I made a game in 48 hours, and since the change in voting, I can removing the theme from the equation. Isn't this supposed to be a celebration of indie game development more than a real competition?
It's intriguing and a pretty intelligent puzzle but it doesn't fit the theme at all.
You are the monster? Nice music :).
I'm not upset, I'm pointing out a clear violation of the compo rules ( http://ludumdare.com/compo/2014/04/25/rules-and-guide-re-written-for-maximum-clarity/ ). My understanding was that LD is a celebration of quick innovation under pressure; that's why there's a theme at all.
I'm not saying you don't deserve to feel good about having implemented someone else's puzzle game in a new format, I'm saying that you could and should have done it elsewhere ... or at the very least, in the jam, where the theme is not mandatory.
@inurashii: They need to update the main rules page, then. http://ludumdare.com/compo/rules/ doesn't specify the requirement of the theme. Either that or have it as one of the checkboxes for entering a game in the compo. I had a good 9 hours left when I submitted and had plenty of time to "fit my game to the theme;" I could have easily been able to do so, but didn't see the need since everything I had seen (for the 6+ compos I have entered) didn't have it explicitly stated.
All right. I'm not here to get you disqualified or anything, but I didn't think this was a good compo entry and wanted to say something.
I don't feel that a bog-standard port of an internationally acclaimed puzzle game is in the spirit of LD, especially since you don't say anywhere in your game description that you did not invent this puzzle.
That having been said, I'll leave you alone going forward. Good luck to you.
Good job , but this game not according with the theme.

Q: Exporting data from BigQuery to GCS - Partial transfer possible? I am currently exporting my data (from a destination table in Bigquery) to a bucket in GCS. Doing this programmatically using the Bigquery API.
There is a constraint while exporting data from Bigquery to GCS - the data should not be greater than 1GB.

*

*Since my data in the destination table is more than 1GB, I split the files into multiple parts.

*The number of parts in which the file will be split will obviously depend on the size of the data that I have in my destination table.

Here is the code snippet for the function exportDataToGCS() where this is happening:
http = authorize();
bigquery_service = build('bigquery', 'v2', http=http)

    query_request = bigquery_service.jobs()

    DESTINATION_PATH = constants.GCS_BUCKET_PATH + canonicalDate + '/'
    query_data = {
                'projectId': 'ga-cnqr',
                'configuration': {
                                'extract': {
                                        'sourceTable': {
                                                    'projectId': constants.PROJECT_ID,
                                                    'datasetId': constants.DEST_TABLES_DATASET_ID,
                                                    'tableId': canonicalDate,
                                                        },
                                        'destinationUris': [DESTINATION_PATH + canonicalDate + '-*.gz'],
                                        'destinationFormat': 'CSV',
                                        'printHeader': 'false',
                                        'compression': 'GZIP'
                                            }
                                }
                  }

    query_response = query_request.insert(projectId=constants.PROJECT_NUMBER,
                                     body=query_data).execute()

After this function is executed, in my GCS bucket, my files show up in the following manner:

However, I am curious to know whether there can be any scenarios where the file was supposed to be split in 10 parts, but only 3 parts made it to the bucket because the above function failed.
That is, could there be a partial export ?
Could reasons like network drop or the process running the function being killed etc lead to this? Is this process a blocking call? Asynchronous?
Thanks in advance.
Update 1: Status parameter in query response
This is how I am checking for the DONE status.
while True:
        status = query_request.get(projectId=constants.PROJECT_NUMBER, jobId=query_response['jobReference']['jobId']).execute()
        if 'DONE' == status['status']['state']:
            logging.info("Finished exporting for the date : " + stringCanonicalDate);
            return

A: Partial exports are possible if the job fails for some reason mid-way through execution.
If the job is in the DONE state, and there are no errors in the job, then all the data has been exported.
I recommend waiting a bit before polling for job done -- you can hit rate limit errors if you poll too quickly, and given that these async jobs are not fast, millisecond accuracy isn't needed.
Working with your sample code, here is how you could test for the presence of errors:
while True:
    status = query_request.get(projectId=constants.PROJECT_NUMBER, jobId=query_response['jobReference']['jobId']).execute()
    if 'DONE' == status['status']['state']:
        if 'errorResult' in status['status']:
            logging.error("Error exporting for the date : " + stringCanonicalDate);
            logging.error(status['status']['errorResult'])
            return False
        logging.info("Finished exporting for the date : " + stringCanonicalDate);
        return True
    time.sleep(1)

To be super robust, you could also catch HTTP errors that occasionally occur while in a polling wait loop. It looks like you are using the python apiclient, which raises apiclient.errors.HttpError on such failures.


JAMMU, FEBRUARY 11: Advisor to Governor, K Skandan today took stock of district wise registration of beneficiaries under the Pradhan Mantri KisanSamman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) in the State as he sought details from the Deputy Commissioners through video conference here during a meeting.
CommissionerSecretary, Revenue, Shahid Anayatullah, Secretary, Agriculture Production &Horticulture, Manzoor Ahmed Lone, Director, National Informatics Centre (NIC) besides HoDs and Nodal Officers and other senior officers of concerned departments were present in the meeting.
While interacting with the DCs, the Advisor sought progress on the registration of the beneficiaries under the newly launched scheme on daily basis. He stressed on finalization of the database in each district by identification of eligible farmers as per defined format and simultaneously uploading of the data on the PM-KISAN portal. He directed them for personal monitoring the exercise and intervention to resolve issues, if any.
The Advisor directed the concerned functionaries to put in place the modalities for speedy execution and impactful implementation of the scheme as per operational guidelines of the programme. He asked the Director, NIC to coordinate with the District administration for uploading the data.
The meeting was informed that in Kupwara, survey of 112 villages is completed whereas in Anantnag, 18,878 forms were received. In Rajouri, Bandipora, Budgam, Kishtwar, Udhampur, Poonch, Kathua, Srinagar and Reasi, around 22806,18556,19000, 1708, 5200, 5000,1200, 3200 and 15400 beneficiaries have been identified till date, respectively.
It was given out that several teams have been constituted and Gram Sabhas organized in every district to achieve the targets within the set timeline.
Pertinently, under PM-KISAN farmer families having cultivable land holding of 2 hectares and less will be provided direct income support at the rate of Rs. 6,000 per year. This income support will be transferred directly into their bank accounts in three equal instalments of Rs. 2,000 each. The Union Government has asked the States to finalize, certify and set the timelines for uploading the district-wise beneficiary list to the PM-KISAN portal.

We present an introduction and the definition of the concept of continuous functions in calculus with examples. Also continuity theorems and their use in calculus are also discussed.
We first start with graphs of several continuous functions. The functions whose graphs are shown below are said to be continuous since these graphs have no "breaks", "gaps" or "holes".
We now present examples of discontinuous functions. These graphs have: breaks, gaps or points at which they are undefined.
In the graphs below, the function is undefined at x = 2. The graph has a hole at x = 2 and the function is said to be discontinuous.
In the graphs below, the limits of the function to the left and to the right are not equal and therefore the limit at x = 3 does not exist. The function is said to be discontinuous.
The limits of the function at x = 2 exists but it is not equal to the value of the function at x = 2. This function is also discontinuous.
The limits of the function at x = 3 does does not exist since to the left and to the right of 3 the function either increases or decreases indefinitely. This function is also discontinuous.
Function f is continuous at a point a if the following conditions are satisfied.
Example 1: Show that function f defined below is not continuous at x = - 2.
f(-2) is undefined (division by 0 not allowed) therefore function f is discontinuous at x = - 2.
Example 2: Show that function f is continuous for all values of x in R.
The three conditions of continuity are satisfied and therefore f is continuous for all values of x in R.
Example 3: Show that function f is continuous for all values of x in R.
f(x) is given by the polynomial functions x - 5 and -(x - 5) if x > 5 and x < 5 respectively and hence f(x) is continuous for these values of x. x = 5 is the only value of x to be considered. We now consider the limits of f as x approaches 5 from the left (x < 5) when f(x) = -(x - 5).
We now consider the limits of f as x approaches 5 from the right (x > 5) when f(x) = (x - 5).
Since the two limits are equal the limit limx→ 5 f(x) exists and is equal to 0. Hence limx→ 5 f(x) = 0 = f(5) and function f is continuous at x = 5. Taking into consideration what was said above for x > 5 and < < 5, f is continuous for all values of x in R.

Complications in Determining Faculty Minimum Qualifications
Mark Snowhite, Chair
The high attendance at the Fall Session breakout entitled "Who Gets to Teach What: The Discipline's List and Its Complications" may well reflect the general uncertainties surrounding the laws, regulations, and Senate-recommended practices about determining minimum qualifications for faculty.
To carry out their collective responsibilities for maintaining a professional faculty, it is essential for faculty to know their roles in determining the qualifications to teach in our colleges.
Faculty are involved on two levels. On the state level, the Community College Reform Act (AB 1725) gave the Academic Senate the responsibility for recommending to our Board of Governors the minimum qualifications for hiring faculty and for developing lists of disciplines and related disciplines to define those minimums for all public California community colleges. In addition, statewide the Senate conducts a review once every three years to up-date the Disciplines List (the next review begins in 2004). On the local level, academic senates have the sole authority to recommend to their governing boards the discipline or disciplines into which each course in their college's curriculum is placed. In addition, the Education Code requires that all policies and practices for hiring faculty, including establishing equivalencies to the minimum qualifications, be developed jointly by the local academic senate and district administrations acting on behalf of their governing boards. So in principle, qualifications needed for a person to teach a course are determined by recommendation of the faculty working at both the state and local levels, although academic senates share with their districts' administrations responsibility for developing hiring policies and procedures.
The most troublesome areas relating to faculty qualifications have always been misunderstandings about Faculty Service Areas (FSAs) and equivalencies. FSAs, which are established by faculty working primarily through their bargaining agents jointly with the local governing boards, may establish additional requirements for a faculty member in a discipline. For example, English might be divided into FSAs such as journalism and composition, each requiring specialized educational preparation or experience. An instructor may have an FSA for composition but not for journalism. On the other hand, FSAs that are more broadly defined will include faculty members who may not have the minimum qualifications to teach all courses within his or her FSA. So if a college has a broad FSA of Language Arts, which includes speech and English, an English instructor with that FSA but only the minimum qualifications for English may teach English but not speech. In other words, you might have an FSA that includes a discipline in which you may not teach because you lack the minimum qualifications. You need both the minimum qualifications and possess the required FSA in your district in order to be considered competent to teach a course.
Why do we have such a confusing system? FSAs were established in law primarily to determine bumping rights in the event of reduction of force (RIF). Districts with broad FSAs (such as Language Arts) have given faculty with seniority the advantage, but in the event of RIFs, these districts may be left with those possessing an FSA but unable to teach classes in a discipline for which they do not also possess minimum qualifications. So that English instructor with an FSA in Language Arts may bump the speech instructor with the same FSA but less seniority, but she remains unqualified to teach the speech classes that the recently bumped speech teacher taught. While such broadly defined FSAs may benefit instructors with seniority, they will not preserve the integrity of programs.
Minimum qualifications and the concept of equivalencies were also an acknowledgement that our transfer partners then needed to be reassured that faculty teaching transferable courses indeed had the training and understandings common in those fields. So, when equivalency is misunderstood or applied in ways that undercut the integrity of our hiring practices, it may also jeopardize the faith placed in the community college faculty by our transfer partners. When the Disciplines List was first conceived, the authors of AB 1725 realized that some people earn degrees with names that are different from those that are traditional or standard at other graduate schools. A term such as Literary Studies might substitute for English, or Cybernetics for Computer Science. So the expression "Or the Equivalent" was added to the definitions of disciplines. The intent language makes clear that a candidate for a faculty position who claims equivalency must have qualifications at least equivalent to those specified (emphasis added). In addition, Title 5, 53430 states, "No one may be hired to serve as a community college faculty unless the governing board determines that he or she possesses qualifications that are at least equivalent to the minimum qualifications specified."
But many districts allow for equivalencies clearly less than what is indicated above. Some districts consider as equivalent someone who has completed all (or most) of the course work but not a required thesis for a degree. Some districts provide for a provisional equivalency, which allows for a candidate to teach classes provided that he or she is pursuing the required degree.
This single-course equivalency is particularly disturbing as it is fundamentally inconsistent with the principles of establishing minimum qualifications to assure students and the public in general that our instructors have the high degree of professional qualifications that we deem essential. One of our most strongly held principles, reflected in law, has been that minimum qualifications are determined for disciplines, not for courses or subject areas within disciplines. The Education Code and regulations refer to qualifications only in terms of disciplines (see particularly Education Code, 87357 and Title 5, 53410 and 53430). (The chair of the Standards and Practices Committee has requested that the Chancellor's Office provide a legal opinion on this matter, but whatever that opinion is, the concept of single-course equivalency remains inconsistent with Senate recommended practice as defined in the 1999 Senate paper on equivalency.)
Faculty members with minimum qualifications to teach only lower-level or introductory courses in a discipline, for example basic skills math, or only one specialty within a discipline, for example introductory to anatomy, will probably have the depth of knowledge to teach that limited area. However, people with limited expertise are less likely than those with minimum qualifications in that discipline to have an understanding of how each course fits into the sequence of courses in their respective disciplines. Single-course equivalencies would also lead to the establishment on campuses of a two-tiered system of the well qualified and the not-so-wellqualified. For these reasons the Academic Senate has always opposed single-course equivalencies. True, there are understandable reasons why single-course equivalencies and other abuses to the minimum qualifications system may appear from time to time, especially in remote areas of the state where finding well-qualified faculty members-especially those who will teach part-time-is very difficult. Department heads and administrators face the dilemma of pushing for loose equivalency policies and practices to make it easier to put less well-prepared people in front of a class or canceling a class that students may need, although these assaults on the principles of equivalency itself have consequences for students, for that institution, and for the entire system.
Allowing the less well-prepared to teach courses at the basic skills level might seem reasonable considering that the course being taught is, after all, similar to one taught at the near-by high school-maybe by that same candidate for hire. Do we really need to have some one with a master's degree in math teach arithmetic or the fundamentals of algebra, some may ask? There is room for debate on this issue, but, the overarching question we need to ask ourselves whether such courses really belong in our for-credit curriculum as college courses.
If we believe that the community colleges are truly partners in higher education, if we further believe that replacing the old credential system-a relic from when the community colleges were governed by K-12 rules-with minimum qualifications developed by community college faculty, if we truly believe that we, as discipline experts, have the responsibility to keep our profession strong, and if we wholeheartedly believe that all of our students deserve instructors who are at least minimally qualified in their disciplines, then we need to agree to the following actions:
first understand the rationale for those policies and practices that ensure the competency of faculty hires;
review-and update-your district's equivalency policy and processes;
offer training for faculty engaged in writing job descriptions for new faculty hires and for faculty serving on the district or college equivalency committees;
and finally, rigorously uphold those policies and their practices.

A Coding Kids club at a community hall in suburban Brisbane.
In designing classes we will firstly look at designing a 1-hour class for Years 2-3 and followed by designing a class for Years 4-6.
The first four classes in the Introductory Level for Years 2-3 are based more around discovering and exploring new concepts and writing simple scripts. In the next four classes students are able to build simple games.
Scratch projects can be used to explain new concepts.
All of these projects are saved in the "Introducing Concepts" Studio and are useful in discovering computer programming concepts.
We also use Scratch games to explore concepts.
Have a go at playing our "Coordinates & Movement" game. You move the cat to the right XY coordinates then click on the space bar to see if you are right. See if you can collect three stars.
Play our "If Statements & Operators" game. You need to calculate what does 'score' need to be to make cat meow. Learn about if statements and operators. Careful, the more stars you earn, the harder the question.
Play our "Variables" game to discover variables.
We build simple games to apply our new knowledge. Some of these games are listed in the 8-week course outline for Years 2-3 e.g., Dance Party animation, Leap over the frog, Forest of Danger. Our Introductory Level games are saved here in this Scratch studio.
I start the class by demonstrating the game that we are going to build and allowing a few students to play the game. I ask the class, "Shall we build this game?" The class is hooked. Of course they want to build the game.
A 1-hour class designed for Years 4-6 students is focused on building a game in order to experience new competencies. Games such as those listed in the 8-week course for Years 4-6 are what we use to learn new computer programming concepts.
Similar to the class for Years 2-3 students, I start the class by showing a game, allowing a few students to play it and demonstrate how it works. I ask the students, "What are some extra features we can to this game?" The classes are great with coming up with new features. If they finish the game early they are encouraged to keep building the game and adding new features.
Classes are fun and engaging experiences when you capture the students attention with a demonstration of a computer game or an animation that you will build together and allow them to express their individuality and creativity. If you build a strong technical foundation this gives them the freedom to let their imagination run wild. Be open to mistakes. Learn to learn and you can never go wrong.
Discovering complex concepts in a fun and playful way.

GKA Kitesurf World Cup Mauritius 2019
Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few years, you know that kitesurfing is one of the hottest water sports in Mauritius right now. Need any proof? The 2019 International Kite Surfing Competition in Mauritius will turn you into a believer.
It's got it all: boards and sails stretching over the ocean as far as the eye can see, the biggest names in the sport, and the incredible weather conditions that the south of the island has to offer… Yes, Kitesurfing in Mauritius is definitely hot right now.
Organised by the Global Kitesports Association (GKA) in collaboration with Heritage Resorts, the event sees some of the sport's best pros impress the crowds with incredible freestyle skills on twin tips, as well as the more explosive wave riding style. From the 6-15 of September 2019, amateurs, locals, tourists, and professionals flocked to the small coastal town of Bel Ombre to watch the show, some even flying down to Mauritius just for the event. Combining an international kitesurfing competition with a holiday in the tropics? That's a winning combo in our books.
<="" p="" style="width: 100%;">
The event is the GKA's third on the island. In fact, the organisation's first international competition was held right here in Mauritius and had one of our very own talents, Jeremy Chan give international favourite, Airton Cozzolino, a run for his money, eventually eliminating him from the competition. In the end, it was Machu Lopes who won the 2016 event thanks to one of his best performances of the year. The waters of Mauritius would once again prove unlucky for Airton Cozzolino in 2017: The Italian suffered a string of defeats, was eventually eliminated ahead of the finals, and gifted Australian Keahi de Aboitiz with first place.
Kitesurfing and the island of Mauritius are a match made in heaven. As soon as there's mention of an International Kitesurfing competition, all the pros have one destination on their minds: Mauritius. The island is home to some of the best kitesurfing spots in the world, particularly Le Morne, La Gaulette, and Bel Ombre, found in the South West of the island. Favourable south-easterly winds (of about 15-25 knots) make the waves here ideal for the sport, especially in winter. Add to that, temperatures which rarely drop below 20°C, crystalline waters, and a picture-perfect tropical landscape, and you've got yourself a kitesurfer's paradise.
Not that you'll know that by reading the travel guides of this world. The South West of Mauritius is overlooked as a tourist destination, and it's a wonder why.
This area of the island remains resolutely untamed. Here windswept tropical landscapes rule supreme. Towering mountains cradle the coastline, traditional villages dot the land, and carefully preserved landmarks offer countless opportunities for a sense of escape. Just jump in a car and drive by the sleepy coastal villages of La Gaulette and Bel Ombre, passing by the UNESCO heritage protected site of Le Morne, and you'll feel like you're in another world. And of course, the pleasure of kitesurfing on a twin-tip surrounded by all this beauty is an experience second to none.
It's on this little slice of paradise that the Heritage Resorts, located on the Domaine de Bel Ombre, had the privilege of hosting the GKA Kite World Cup Mauritius 2019.
Pros around the world see Bel Ombre as a top kitesurfing spot thanks to its calm lagoon and well-preserved marine eco-system protected by the local NGO, Reef Conservation. But it's not just the natural beauty and favourable weather conditions which made the competition a success. The Heritage Resorts, so close to this exceptional kitesurfing spot, played a big part in that too.
One of the hotels of the Heritage portfolio, Heritage Le Telfair Golf & Wellness, welcomed the participants, event organisers, and spectators in an intimate tropical garden seeped in an aura of zen. The Heritage Awali Golf & Spa Resort, served as an all-inclusive home- away- from-home for kitesurfing fans during the competition, and at the Heritage Villas, friends and family of the competitors made the most of the event by staying in private villas only a stone's throw away from the main venue of the competition.
At the Islandian offices, we've always been fans of kitesurfing, and one of our favourite local riders is Simon Lamusse. At only 20 years old, Simon has been kitesurfing for more than 9 years, and it's no surprise. As an avid swimmer, lover of the ocean, and a bonafide daredevil, the young man matches all the criteria that a good kite surfer needs.
The sense of freedom it provides, and the connection to the natural elements one gets when on a board are some of the other reasons that Simon practices Kitesurfing. And, surprisingly, even though Simon loves all the Mauritian kitesurfing spots, in his books, it's the lagoons of Rodrigues which provide the best conditions for the sport.
After years of training and rubbing shoulders with some of the best riders in the world, Simon managed to hone and perfect his technique. The dedication paid off as he was able to tour the world for 2 years practicing kitesurfing professionally before going to Toulouse to complete an osteopathy course. Taken up by his studies, Simon doesn't kitesurf as much as before but saw the first leg of the freestyle competition as the perfect opportunity to meet other young pros and practice his favourite sport "on home turf". Freed up from any stress and with having as much fun as possible as main objective, Simon competed with complete peace of mind. "Representing our island in the competition is something I am extremely proud of," he says.
After nine days of spectacular performances and thrills, the 2019 GKA Kite World Cup Mauritius 2019 ended in style with the traditional closing ceremony at the Heritage C-Beach Club. One of the highlights of this year's tournament was the return of favorite Airton Cozzolino to the top of the men's category thanks to a scintillating performance, which earned him the victory.
The Heritage Resorts were superb hosts for the competitors and helped prove that Mauritius is a fantastic kite surfing destination for more reasons than the waves and wind. So kitesurfers, whether you're experienced, a rookie, young or old, grab your board, a wetsuit, and your sail and hop on the next plane for a tailor-made dream kitesurfing holiday in Mauritius.

Q: Having trouble with SQL Server connection on WebSphere 8.5 I'm having all kinds of trouble getting IBM WebSphere 8.5 to connect to my SQL Server 2012 data source. I have the URL of jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;userName=user;password=password. See the following error (I know it's kind of long):
The test connection operation failed for data source reachingrecovery on server server1
   at node MWEISS7X16Node01 with the following exception: java.sql.SQLException: The TCP/IP
   connection to the host localhost, port 1433 has failed. Error: "Connection refused:
   connect. Verify the connection properties. Make sure that an instance of SQL Server is
   running on the host and accepting TCP/IP connections at the port. Make sure that TCP
   connections to the port are not blocked by a firewall."
Now, the SQL server and WebSphere are running on the same machine, so I don't think it's a firewall issue.  I've checked the SQL server properties under "Connections", and it indicates that everything is fine ("Allow remote connections to the server" is checked.)
I'm at a loss to understand why this is happening.  Any suggestions?  Thx Mimi

A: I found out what the problem was.  I was using SQL Server Management Studio to check on whether it could make TCP/IP connections or not.  What I should have been using was SQL Server Configuration Manager.  It had a thing on the left called "SQL Server Network Configuration".   I clicked on that, and it brought up "Protocols for server instance name".  It had a thing on the right (TCP/IP), which indicated it was disabled.  I enabled that, restarted the SQL server, and it worked.
