Q: SWIFT 3 - CGImage to PNG I am trying to use a color mask to make a color in JPG image transparent because as I read, color mask only works with JPG.
This code work when I apply the color mask and save the image as a JPG, but as a JPG, there is no transparency so I want to transform the JPG image to a PNG image to keep the transparency but when I try to do it, the color mask doesn't work.
Am I doing something wrong or maybe this isn't the right approach.
Here is the code of the 2 functions :
func callChangeColorByTransparent(_ sender: UIButton){

    var colorMasking: [CGFloat] = []
    if let textLabel = sender.titleLabel?.text {

        switch textLabel {
        case "Remove Black":
            colorMasking = [0,30,0,30,0,30]
            break
        case "Remove Red":
            colorMasking = [180,255,0,50,0,60]
            break
        default:
            colorMasking = [222,255,222,255,222,255]
        }
    }

    print(colorMasking)

    let newImage = changeColorByTransparent(selectedImage, colorMasking: colorMasking)
    symbolImageView.image = newImage
}

func changeColorByTransparent(_ image : UIImage, colorMasking : [CGFloat]) -> UIImage {

    let rawImage: CGImage = (image.cgImage)!

    //let colorMasking: [CGFloat] = [222,255,222,255,222,255]

    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(image.size)

    let maskedImageRef: CGImage = rawImage.copy(maskingColorComponents: colorMasking)!

    if let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext() {

        context.draw(maskedImageRef, in: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: image.size.width, height: image.size.height))

        var newImage = UIImage(cgImage: maskedImageRef, scale: image.scale, orientation: image.imageOrientation)

        UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

        var pngImage = UIImage(data: UIImagePNGRepresentation(newImage)!, scale: 1.0)

        return pngImage!
    }

    print("fail")
    return image

}

Thank for your help.

A: Thanks the issue of DonMag in my other question SWIFT 3 - CGImage copy always nil, here is the code to solve this :
func saveImageWithAlpha(theImage: UIImage, destFile: URL) -> Void {

    // odd but works... solution to image not saving with proper alpha channel
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(theImage.size)
    theImage.draw(at: CGPoint.zero)
    let saveImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

    if let img = saveImage, let data = UIImagePNGRepresentation(img) {

        try? data.write(to: destFile)

    }

}

Beyond nostalgic tea industry ads romanticizing colonial Ceylon and the impoverished conditions that beleaguer Tamil tea workers are the stories of the women, men, and children who have built their families and lives in line houses on tea plantations since the nineteenth century. The tea industry's economic crisis and Sri Lanka's twenty-six year long civil war have ushered in changes to life and work on the plantations, where family members now migrate from plucking tea to performing domestic work in the capital city of Colombo or farther afield in the Middle East. Using feminist ethnographic methods in research that spans the transitional time between 2008 and 2017, Mythri Jegathesan presents the lived experience of these women and men working in agricultural, migrant, and intimate labor sectors.
In Tea and Solidarity, Jegathesan seeks to expand anthropological understandings of dispossession, drawing attention to the political significance of gender as a key feature in investment and place making in Sri Lanka specifically, and South Asia more broadly. This vivid and engaging ethnography sheds light on an otherwise marginalized and often invisible minority whose labor and collective heritage of dispossession as "coolies" in colonial Ceylon are central to Sri Lanka's global recognition, economic growth, and history as a postcolonial nation. less

What do you believe … Words or Actions?
Actions The first actions APRC made was to destroy the senior program's holistic approach and effective social services. APRC laid off experienced Senior Center staff who have extensive knowledge and experience of its integrated social service senior program and replaced with inexperienced Parks and Recreation staff and volunteers. APRC also moved the senior center program management and physical oversight away from the Senior Center to the Grove which prevents a holistic integrated approach.
Impact Dismantles the social services integrated program … the hub of the holistic wheel … and reduces the social services to handing out informational booklets … and removes the personnel who know the difference. Essentially shreds the seniors' safety net built up and maintained over 43 years.

Q: Is it possible to have Jenkins workflows with an overlapping/shared stage? This question concerns use of the Jenkins Workflow plugin and "synchronizing" a stage amongst independent jobs.
We have a generic workflow for multiple projects with steps:

*

*build project

*push project to test environment

*run (long) end-to-end test suite

*push project to production

Step 3 runs a long time. If multiple projects are built and pushed to the test environment within the same window of time, we'd like to only run once the end-to-end test suite.
Can we have the jobs some how synchronize on step 3?

A: The desired orchestration can be achieved by make Step 3 a build action. I.e.

build end-to-end-tests

Where end-to-end-tests is a job dedicated to running the slow end-to-end tests.
Adding a Quiet period to end-to-end-tests supports the goal of "collecting" projects updated within a time period to end-to-end test. That is, if project A and B are pushed to the test environment with Quiet period seconds, then end-to-end-tests runs only once.

A: JENKINS-30269 might be helpful, but your use case is indeed subtly different from the usual one that RFE would solve; you really seem to need a cross-job stage, which is not currently possible though in principle such a step could be written. In the meantime, a downstream deployment job is probably the most reasonable workaround.

Q: systemctl (Fedora 17) and interacting spawned processes's consoles Introduction
I've recently upgraded to Fedora 17 and I'm getting used to the newer systemctl daemon manager versus shell init scripts.
A feature I need on some of my daemons is the ability to interact with their consoles because unclean shutdowns not initiated by the process itself can cause database corruption. So, performing a systemctl stop service-name.service for example might cause irreversible data loss.
These consoles read user input through stdin or similar methods, so what I've been doing on my old OS is to place those daemons foregrounded in a screen session, and I suspended that screen session with ^A ^z. It's also worth noting that I've now made systemctl do this automatically if the computer reboots, but it still doesn't solve my potential data corruption problem I'm trying to avoid.

My Question
Is there a way to use systemctl in order to directly interact with the console of processes it spawns? Can I hook a process through systemctl to get access to its console?

Thanks
You guys always give great answers, so I'm turning to you!

A: It looks like you might be able to redirect it to a tty.

StandardInput= Controls where file descriptor 0 (STDIN)
  of the executed processes is connected to. Takes one of null, tty,
  tty-force, tty-fail or socket. If null is selected standard input will
  be connected to /dev/null, i.e. all read attempts by the process will
  result in immediate EOF. If tty is selected standard input is
  connected to a TTY (as configured by TTYPath=, see below) and the
  executed process becomes the controlling process of the terminal. If
  the terminal is already being controlled by another process the
  executed process waits until the current controlling process releases
  the terminal. tty-force is similar to tty, but the executed process is
  forcefully and immediately made the controlling process of the
  terminal, potentially removing previous controlling processes from the
  terminal. tty-fail is similar to tty but if the terminal already has a
  controlling process start-up of the executed process fails. The socket
  option is only valid in socket-activated services, and only when the
  socket configuration file (see systemd.socket(5) for details)
  specifies a single socket only. If this option is set standard input
  will be connected to the socket the service was activated from, which
  is primarily useful for compatibility with daemons designed for use
  with the traditional inetd(8) daemon. This setting defaults to
  null.

Link to quote
Oh, and if that doesn't work, we'll do something really complicated with Unix sockets that I'm sure you'll love.
Screw that nonsense, try something like this if the above isn't acceptable:

You could try writing to it's /proc pid directory. Say your daemons' pid is 2000, try writing to /proc/2000/fd/0

source
You could add that line to ExecStop=, which frees you from having to interact manually whatsoever.

Open Sources Show Notes for Thursday January 10, 2019
Adam A. Donaldson Show Notes January 10, 2019 January 13, 2019
Welcome back to this crazy year already in progress, and an all-new year of Open Sources Guelph! Unfortunately, the news didn't take a break, so there's a lot of stuff to catch up on, like the government shutdown south of the border. In Canada, we'll talk about whether carbon tax and electoral reform have a future here, and in our last segment this week, Scotty talks to a kindred spirit.
This Thursday, January 10 at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss:
Another Dick and the Wall. As of this writing, if things keep going the way they are, the U.S. government will have been shutdown for a month, making it the longest such shutdown in U.S. history. Why? Because Donald Trump wants a wall, even though reporting last weekend revealed that "the wall" was a mnemonic device invented by campaign advisors to get him to stay on point on immigration. So a president most people didn't vote for, has forced a government showdown most people hate, for a wall most people don't want and was never meant to be real in the first place?!?! We'll sort this out (if we can).
Carbon Freeze. The Federal carbon tax went into effect on New Year's Day in five provinces that had no carbon mitigation efforts of their own ready to go, and that includes Ontario. The debate rages on, are carbon taxes bad for the country? Is this carbon tax going to have an actual effect? A speech by Conservative leader Andrew Scheer on New Year's Day made it clear that this year's election just might be a referendum on the carbon tax, and, in the meantime, Canada's Yellow Vest protests are bolstering opposition. We'll talk about the arguments, and what effect they might have on the debate.
No Reform. Just before the holiday break, British Columbia released the final numbers from their referendum on Electoral Reform, and, as it turned out, people overwhelming supported the status quo. In fact, in B.C.'s third referendum on the matter in the last 13 years, support for reform has gone down with each subsequent vote. So what do ER advocates do now? They were hoping that B.C. would be the place to create a beachhead to expand ER across the country, but now…? Are Canadian voters just not up for a shift to proportional representation, or do advocates need to rethink the way they're selling it?
Mr. Smith Goes to Breezy Corners. Harry Leslie Smith didn't become Twitter famous till his 90s, but in his last days he became an outspoken advocate against austerity and in favour of progressive social and economic policy. Harry gave up his fight when he passed away in November, but his son John is carrying on his message, which brought him to Guelph last week for a reading of his dad's book, Harry's Last Stand. The night before, Scotty Hertz sat down with John Smth to talk about his father's legacy, his last days, and where the rebellion goes from here.

"For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills . . . a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing . . . When you have eaten and are full . . . beware that you do not forget the Lord your God" (Deuteronomy 8:7-11).
POVERTY IS NOT AN EASY EXPERIENCE, BUT IF WE STOP TO THINK ABOUT IT, IT'S OBVIOUS THAT WEALTH HAS ITS DIFFICULTIES TOO. When we speak of "hard times," we need to be careful. For all the hardship we face when we suffer a shortage of life's necessities, we face an even greater challenge when we suffer a surplus.
The challenge of prosperity is greater because it challenges us at the level of our character. Poverty's hardship is mostly physical or outward, but affluence presents a host of harder problems that are spiritual in nature. Granted, there are some spiritual issues that must be dealt with when we're poor, but most people who've been poor would report that they found their inward characters growing in positive ways during that experience. By contrast, most people would have to say that their characters tend to weaken when life is completely comfortable. Indeed, it's all we can do to keep from dying in the suffocating atmosphere of affluence.
Paul made an interesting statement in Philippians 4:11,12: "I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need." It takes some "know how" to be full and to abound without losing our souls. When we're wealthy, our spiritual survival is anything but automatic. In fact, according to Jesus, the odds are quite against it: "And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God" (Matthew 19:24).
These truths have sobering implications for those of us who live in one of the wealthy nations, particularly the United States of America. We face some spiritual hardships that our brethren in poorer cultures don't have to deal with, and frankly, we're not handling our abundance conspicuously well. We're "full," but in all too many cases, we're letting our spirits starve to death.
"If adversity hath killed his thousands, prosperity hath killed his ten thousands" (Robert Burton).


Face procedures can be both surgical and non-surgical. At Noble Cosmetic Surgery, Patrick Obasi, MD, FACS, helps Plano, Texas and Desoto, Texas area patients achieve their cosmetic surgery goals for their faces. From a more youthful face overall to correction of specific problems like sagging eyelids, Dr. Obasi can help. This can include procedures like a facelift, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery,) and non-surgical procedures like Botox® and Kybella®.
A facelift or face tuck includes excision of excess skin followed by repositioning of the skin. A facelift creates a younger look in the middle and lower face. Options include mini facelift, mid-facelift, full facelift, and MACS facelift.
Rhinoplasty is surgical revision of the nose. Dr. Obasi reshapes the nose into the desired contours. From smaller and sleeker to more defined and prominent, Dr. Obasi customizes the rhinoplasty for your goals.
In an endoscopic brow lift, Dr. Obasi eliminates forehead wrinkles and even deep furrows between the brows through small hairline incisions. This surgery helps a heavy and sagging forehead to look more youthful.
Blepharoplasty is better known as eyelid surgery. In blepharoplasty, Dr. Obasi tightens the eyelid skin to create a more youthful, less droopy, and less tired appearance. There are two types of blepharoplasty: lower lid blepharoplasty and upper lid blepharoplasty.
Lower lid blepharoplasty addresses the sagging skin beneath the eyes while upper lid blepharoplasty focuses on the drooping upper eyelid skin. Some patients have both procedures at the same time.
A chin implant changes the dimensions of the chin. Whether it's a smaller and more streamlined chin you want or a more defined look overall, Dr. Obasi helps you choose the right chin implant. The implants are firm silicone and are thus a long-term correction rather than a temporary one.
Dermal fillers add volume to the face where you need it. Fillers can add volume in the cheek area, in the lips, in the deep facial folds,and even in acne scars. The life span of fillers is typically between six months and two years, depending on the type of filler and the area where it's injected. Dr. Obasi will help you choose a dermal filler that's appropriate for you.
Want to enhance your natural beauty with one of these face procedures? Make an appointment online now!
Bad-looking skin can make you want to stay at home and crawl under the covers. At Noble Cosmetic Surgery in Plano, Texas, Dr. Patrick Obasi and his team help men and women transform their skin to eliminate stubborn problems like acne, scars, fine lines, and under-eye bags. With dermabrasion, you can look younger, fresher, and ready to take on the world instantly.
A chemical peel is one way to achieve brighter skin and beautify your complexion quickly.
At Noble Cosmetic Surgery in Plano, Texas, Dr. Patrick Obasi helps men and women erase the marks left from acne, surgery, or traumatic injury.
As time passes, skin loses elasticity, volume, and firmness. If you're ready to say goodbye to wrinkles and fine lines, Dr. Patrick Obasi at Noble Cosmetic Surgery can take your skin to a new level of radiance.
Laser resurfacing works by vaporizing damaged skin cells. The result is a fresh layer of new skin and the disappearance of fine lines, scars, or pigmentation. It's a quick, virtually painless procedure.
Lip augmentation refers to any number of techniques that are used to add more fullness and volume to the lips. Most lip augmentation is done through non-invasive injections, and recovery time is very short. Patients can also expect diminished fine lines and wrinkles on and around the lips.
A cosmetic surgery that reduces fatty deposits, removes loose skin, and tightens the neck and jaw area for a more youthful appearance.
As you age, fatty deposits, lax skin, and sagging tissue can cause the face to look square. A double chin develops, and the jawline loses distinction. Submental liposuction can address all of these issues, as it removes fat beneath the chin, slims the neck, and sculpts the entire jawline.

IIE Rosebank College opens a new blended learning campus in Port Elizabeth
by Karabo Keepile on 9/18/2019 3:13 PM
IIE Rosebank College, an educational brand of The Independent Institute of Education (The IIE), will open its first campus in the Eastern Cape, extending the brand's footprint to six of the nine provinces in South Africa. Situated at 3 Rink Street is IIE Rosebank College's Port Elizabeth campus. This is the brand's fourth blended learning campus, after Polokwane, Pietermaritzburg and Bloemfontein and ninth campus overall.
"While IIE qualifications are accredited by the same accreditation body as any university in South Africa (the Council on Higher Education (CHE)), we believe the affordability of IIE qualifications, our campus facilities and Graduate Empowerment Programme will attract prospective students," says Greg Fillmore, Managing Director of IIE Rosebank College.
According to the "Higher Education and Skills in South Africa" report released by Statistics South Africa, more than half of the youth in South Africa have limited access to funds to study further. Creating affordable, quality education is important to ensure that all prospective students have access to education that can help them secure employment.
About the new campus
"Students today don't just live online, they also learn online. Consequently, an institution that makes it difficult for students to use mobile devices to connect with peers and online resources isn't just putting its enrolment numbers at risk. It is also doing a disservice to its current and future students," says Delvin Munsamy, General Manager at IIE Rosebank College.
"The blended model of teaching and learning offers students who are from outlying areas an opportunity to study without having to travel into the campus every day, another way in which we are extending access," adds Munsamy.
Digital learning, otherwise called online learning is a form of blended learning. This type of learning combines more traditional learning methods of sitting down in a classroom with more informal learning methods, such as collaboration and networking, all done online. The flexibility and technology-based nature of digital learning appeals to students young and old.
Study in Port Elizabeth
Port Elizabeth or PE as it's known locally, is a port city and holiday destination on the Eastern Cape Sunshine Coast of South Africa, known for its beautiful beaches, water-sports, waterfront, wildlife attractions and friendly people, hence the name Friendly City. While PE enjoys the status of being a laid-back South African coastal town, this does not get in the way of its booming industrial sector. The friendly city boasts two main industries, namely automotive and port and harbour facilities.
Major vehicle manufacturers are based in PE. With this in mind, IIE qualifications offered at this new campus have been designed to meet the city's needs, making it easier for IIE graduates to increase their chances of gaining employment. Whether you choose an IIE Bachelor of Business Administration, IIE Bachelor of Business Administration in Logistics and Supply Chain Management, Diploma in Commerce in Marketing Management or IIE Diploma in Information Technology, amongst other qualifications offered, each IIE qualification is designed to make you career ready, in line with industry standards and expectations.
Since the inception of our Graduate Empowerment Programme in 2012, IIE Rosebank College has placed over 10 700 graduates in employment to date, proof that IIE graduates meet the demands of the world of work. Through career coaching sessions, IIE graduates are taught to effectively apply and interview for employment thus empowering graduates with the tools they need to increase their chances of securing work.

Not only do pickups offer an amazing way to improve your guitar's tone, but also to upgrade your entry-level guitar into an excellent one. And if you're out shopping for the best one, here are the best strat pickups for Blues and Classic Rock:
To get the right tone with your guitar you need to consider installing the best strat pickups. But with a vast selection of pickups out there, choosing the right one can be pretty overwhelming.
To make finding the right one quite easy for you, you need to first decide on the type and whether you're looking to replace a single pickup or the entire set. The best thing is that there are plenty of superb pickups that you can choose from.
Many of them are sold individually and are specially made for a specific position and others are available in sets of three units.
Strat pickups offered out there vary greatly from their tone, loudness, design, price, and much more. As such, you need to make sure you know exactly what type you want to make finding the right one for you pretty easy.
Whether you're looking to upgrade your guitar or just want to enjoy vintage sound, here are the best Strat Pickups for Blues and Classic Rock that you can choose from for the best experience.
Best Strat Pickups Review
Seymour Duncan California '50s Strat Pickup Set
Do you love playing classic guitar tones with the modern Stratocaster? The Seymour Duncan's California SSL-1 set is your ultimate strat pickup. Whether you are into the pure, rich, or warm classic, this set brings out a vintage vibe of the '50s-era single-coil pickups that define the strat sound of classic rock, blues, rockabilly, pop, or even country music.
Besides, the set provides a better sound, and uses reverse wound middle pickup or reverse polarity. This gives you a focused and enhanced range of timeless classic tones as well as the ability to control noise. Unlike other vintage pickup configuration, the reverse middle pickup offers you a broader range of tonal flexibility. This means that your Strat-style guitar gives you classic 3-position tones while in positions 1, 3, and 5. Additionally, positions 2 and 4 combines the reversed middle pickup with the neck or standard bridge pickup for hum-cancelation, also widely known as the Humbucker.
The flexibility of this Strat Pickup sets it apart from the rest, making it the best choice for most professional guitarists such as Dan Schafer, who plays for Reba McEntire and David Levitt, Shania Twain's guitarist among others.
What's more, the core of this Seymour Duncan's California '50s is built with authentic hand-ground, sand cast, and Alnico-5 magnets assembled in an incredible right-handed and staggered pattern. The magnets are skillfully combined with vintage materials, including hand-made forbon bobbins and Formvar magnet wire. These pickups are specially designed to give you that sweet and lively high-end flavor to add depth and emotion to your jam.
The set is also ideal for alder, toned ash as well as basswood body instruments and works perfectly with rosewood fingerboards.
Fender Eric Johnson Stratocaster Pickups
It is almost every guitarist dream to have an amazing sound like Eric Johnson, and with these Eric Johnson Strat pickups signature set, it's like a dream come true.
Eric Johnson is a legend when it comes to guitar tones, and he clearly understands Strats inside and out. He is not only known for his awe-inducing ability to play different genres, but also as a tone perfectionist, who will do anything to make sure that no engineering, acoustic or electronic failures affect any aspect of his tone.
His determination and perpetual pursuit to perfect his sound led Fender to make his signature set made of three single-coil pickups. The pickups are carefully and skillfully designed to produce the sweet and pleasant tone that EJ is known for. It comes with a mix of Alnico 3 and 5 magnets with staggered pole pieces to deliver a richer and ultra-clear sound with incredible sweet highs and extremely tight lows.
Each Strat pickup is differently built so that each can produce a unique sound. And it boasts a hotter bridge output that retains the much-desired sparkle and shine so you can enjoy a balanced signal across all switching positions. The neck is made of oversized Alnico 3 magnets, and the middle is reverse wound so that it can cancel hum when used in positions 2 or 4.
Another impressive feature of this set is the lack of a string tree on the headstock, which firmly holds the strings against the nut. Instead, it features a deeply rooted headstock with vintage-style staggered tuning keys, which greatly help to reduce string drag as well as enhancing tuning and tremolo accuracy.
Fender Noiseless Pickups Electric Guitar
This hot noiseless Fender pickup is specially designed to provide a warm and crisp single-coil tone with no hum. It utilizes advanced technology but carefully made without losing the quality of the Fender sound.
This set of three features distinctive beveled edges, magnetic wire coated with enamel and Alnico 2 and 5 magnets. These features help produce unmatched clarity and harmony of a vintage pickup but packaged in a "noiseless" set. The set will undoubtedly blow you away; it produces no noise, and you can nail the authentic tone with a lot of ease.
Another impressive feature of this Fender Strat is the versatility of sound it gives across the switch positions. The bridge pickup is designed for higher output and produces a sharper, brighter and more piercing screams at a high gain. On the other hand, the neck pickup gives you that lovely thick, rich, and warm sound with a bluesy feel.
These combinations give you every touch of vintage Strat sound every guitarist could ever want. So, if you are looking for a well-balanced, consistent, and articulate classic strat amplitude and tone, this Fender Noiseless pickup is your perfect match.
Tonerider Classic Blues Strat pickup TRS3
If you are a diehard fan of Blues, watch out for the Tonerider TRS3. This set is one of the best pickups for Blues and nails the grit and spank of the late 60s blues, rock, and southern rock vintage sounds.
The TR3 is the improved and high output version of the TR1 using cutting-edge string technology, which is more accurate and consistent. As a result, it produces a clearer and deeper sound with more punch. Moreover, the set is made with Tonerider's unique pole-piece magnet array known as "Modifies Vintage Stagger." These staggered rods are designed to give you that classic Strat vibe and allow for an impeccable string-to-string balance on a wide array of instruments. The laser-cut and hand beveled grey fiberboard flatwork is made to perfection to complete the '60s vintage look.
The set features a hotter bridge pickup, neck pickup, and a middle reverse wound pickup. Although the set is not noiseless, the middle reverse pickup helps reduce noise. It comes in a vintage push-back wiring, which is pretty easy to install. Besides that, the coil is wound with calibration for an improved and consistent volume balance in all five positions. As such, it produces a fantastic sound, especially in positions 2 and 4.
Additionally, the coils are also tape-bound to avoid damage and are all wax potted to help minimize feedback when using high gain settings. This makes it ideal for playing Blues, Jazz, and Rock, and almost every genre.
Another impressive of this Tonerider set is even if you are an aggressive player, the pickup will still give you the right punch, and you can also play soft, sweet, and mellow sounds.
Overall, TRS3 is a versatile Strat pickup ideal for blues, country, and southern rock tone with a powerful replication of '60s Blues and classic rock vibe with a minimal hum.
Seymour Duncan Little Bridge Pickup
The Seymour Duncan Little 59 is not the ordinary single-Strat pickup we are all used to. It is a remarkable double coiled set stashed in a little brute design to give the smooth and warm sound of Patent Applied For (PAF) Humbucker replacing the single-coil sized set.
This dual-pickup set certainly works better since it is specially designed to give clear and articulate note signals as well as canceling out the hum. However, since it is not a full-size Humbucker, it might not drive your amp as the full-sized one, but you will marvel at its unique and impressive sound.
The Little 59 comes with an even and dynamic response while the adjustable pole pieces are made to give you the right punch and to adjust the string balance. It also features a four-conductor lead wire that allows you to hook up a switch with ease.
Being a PAF passive-style pickup means that each pickup is uniquely designed in terms of tone and level of output. Besides that, the medium output delivers warm tones of the legendary Gibson PAF, making it ideal for jazz, country, funk, heavy rock, blues, and classic rock. It also works quite well with rosewood and maple fingerboards.
Finding the right strat pickup for your guitar is the first step to getting the right tones. All the strat pickups mentioned above are undeniably some of the best options you can get on the market. Every one of these strat pickups is specially designed to deliver the ultimate tone and balance from your guitar.

Pathfinding is used in games to construct how AIs (and/or non-player characters) navigate the environment. At it's core it is to emulate wayfinding. When working on a board game it's easy to see and modify how characters and whatnot move around the board. In video games it can be hard to figure out exactly why a character is moving in a particular way.
For non-programemrs understanding the algorithms at work behind the scenes can be difficult. At GitHub there is a PathFinding visualization project which allows you to play with different algorithms.


The recognition of the brand (Cristovão Candeias) will arise through their visual conception namely by the logo, graphic symbol and idea.
In the creation of this proposal, one of the main issues was to cohabit harmoniously two elements: the concept and the execution. The balance between these two parts will be the key to designing a solution for a successful company.
The major premise in this project, it was to start from the actual identity and improve some invisible and visible aspects, concrete and abstracts.
The conscious use of typography, the correct execution of the design (graphic symbol), the conceptual game (idea/history behind the identity) and the impact on the market as it moves, are the fundamental lines to rebuild the brand "Cristovão Candeias".
Simplicity, modernity and plasticity are the concepts exploited and that wil give life to this project.
Simplicity— The simplicity of a logo is an advantage over those who supposedly wil be more complex. A simple identity it can be more easily and immediately recognized. It is in the small details we can find great solutions.
Plasticity— The graphic symbol will present different textures/skins in order to differentiate different areas or positions within the company.
Modernity— As a requirement of contemporary design, achieved through the combination of the two described above.
The language is by definition "what things mean". In the exercise presented, the volume, the three-dimensional and the reference to the technical element removed from the construction plans (the representation of a door) make the bridge to the area where the company Cristovão Candeias focuses.
Convert the letter "C" to an synthesizer and identifying element to the Cristovação Candeias company, by its graphics and a game concept.
The letter "C" comes from the initials of "Cristóvão", "Candeias" and the Word "Construction".
Textures or skins as described in the concept of plasticity, arise as a visual element with great importance. Their use will allow for a better brand recognition.
The textures were taken from the technical drawings used by architects or designers, in order to formalize the final idea in the construction of a certain project.
The area of construction is characterized by its own formal, conceptual and material diversity, and like so the textures, are being used as an element with maximum representation for the identity.

Comment: Top cop has a big task
THE Gazette welcomes chief superintendent Andy Rowell back to the borough now he has taken the helm.
He obviously has a big task ahead of him, one which will undoubtedly be made harder by impending budget cuts.
He says there are no plans to cut police numbers yet. Let's hope it stays that way after the government's spending review in the autumn.
We're sure he will use his experience to mitigate these as best he can.
His promises to tackle street robbery and keep safer neighbourhoods officers in their wards will be popular moves.
The latter will go some way to addressing the enduring concern about numbers of officers on the streets.
As well as his operational experience, his experience of living in and serving the borough will no doubt come in handy.
We wish him every success for the future in leading Ealing's officers and their efforts to bring crime down.

My review of The Snark, by David Denby, from tomorrow's Observer
Snark, by David Denby
Picador, £9.99
Gordon Brown's former special adviser Damian McBride wouldn't have known it, but those innuendo-laden emails he sent around about the Tory leadership were textbook snark. There was something ethically snarky about the surreptitious video which that witless prankster Heydon Prowse recorded during his conversation with Alan Duncan. With only one hundred and forty characters to spare, one of the few ways to get one's message across on Twitter is a garbled dialect of snark.
But what exactly is snark, and however are we to recognise it? According to the New Yorker's film critic David Denby, it is a kind of failed humour, muttered under one's breath to a knowing audience, whose spread is systematically lowering the cultural tone. Snark is abuse, but abuse of a rarefied kind – "personal, low, teasing, rug-pulling, finger-pointing, snide, obvious and knowing." It is lazy and parasitic; "it doesn't create fresh language or a new metaphor or even a fresh physical description." The professional snarker is the master of the low blow and the cheap shot. He has no time for the virtues of political life, and specialises in the kind of lily-livered laughter dead even before it hits the belly. Snark is the "teasing, rug-pulling form of insult that attempts to steal someone's mojo, erase her cool, annihilate her effectiveness." It finds it best expression in the stink-bombs thrown around on the playground of the web, those codas of innuendo passed straight around to one's chortling gang. The internet, he says, has allowed snark to "spread like a sneezy cold through the vast kindergarten of the Web." As the mainstream media subsides into the net, clutching like Fagan at its dwindling bag of gold coins, Denby believes that Snark can only emerge supreme. It is, Denby solemnly informs us, "the angry fanfare attending journalism's decline."
Snark is full of glorious, thwacking send-offs just like these. The real thrill of Denby's book, however, and what distinguishes it from mere polemic, is his gallop through the history of literature to hunt out and trap the predecessors of snark and dissect their nefarious modus operandi. Snark differs from satire, he says, because its practitioners (think of Jonathan Swift) are usually motivated by savage indignation at the existing state of things and some idea of how they can be changed. Whereas the satirist is full of indignation about the state of things, the snarker pretends to a kind of superfluous anger, which allows him to go over the top. Snark, says Denby, is the kind of jaded cynicism which "attacks any kind of aspirational tone that doesn't conform to a commercialised notion of hip." He is all in favour, he says, of the literary swashbucklers who use irony as a double-edged sword, appearing to revel in the thing that they loathe.
When Denby comes to lay out the evidence, however, he inevitably muddies his case. Everyone from the Greek to the film critic Pauline Kael, it turns out, dabbled in something nastily close to snark. Gore Vidal is not shy of practising something called "high-snark", Private Eye is shelved as "mid-snark" while the white-suited affectations of the young Tom Wolfe are written off as "vulgar snark." He is very good on the kind of journalism which wades through the detritus of culture in search of something to snigger at – another interview with Noel Edmonds, for example, or an all-too-easy snipe at an artist or writer trying something new. He has no problem, he says, with the rough-and-tumble of cultural life, and comes close to snarkiness himself when writing about the New York gossip magazine Gawker, whose only beef with the vacuous celebrities that it follows seems to be that its staffers can't afford to live like them. It's only when he goes further, to criticise critical bruisers like James Wolcott and Joe Queenan, and the vitriolic imagination of the New York Times's witchfinder-in-chief Maureen Dowd, that the reader begins to wonder whether a snark-free world would be any fun at all. Even the lowest form of wit, after all, can sometimes pay its way in insight.
If Denby's book has a fault, it is that it goes all too easy on the sniggering and Bush-baiting perfected by the likes of Jon Stewart. But then Denby is a liberal Anglophile and an eminently respectable film critic on the New Yorker, and is only wading into network television and the blogosphere in the spirit of noblesse oblige. Après all of us, his rolling prose style implies, le déluge. Even if he fails to trap the snark, his perfect critical pitch works best as a masterclass showing up everything that snark is not. Priced at a tenner, his svelte little j'accuse of a book seems to suggest that while the reader is quite welcome to avail himself of everything for free on the net, while they're on his patch they're sure as hell going to have to cough up for quality. I'd say it's worth every penny.

Conductive hearing loss is when the normal physical movement (conduction) of sound waves through the external ear canal or the middle ear is blocked or misdirected. Anything that disrupts the passage of sound through the external and middle ear—such as hardened earwax, a hole in the eardrum, a foreign object, abnormal bone growth, swelling, or a tumor—can cause this type of hearing loss.
Conductive hearing loss usually can be reversed by treating the underlying cause.

We are hosting a public meeting on Tuesday 14th Aug, from 7pm at the Whangamata Hall Supper Room.
As many of you may know, Oceana Gold are drilling in the Wharekirauponga/Parakiwai Area. They are agressively exploring for gold, clearing bush, setting up camps etc. They have helicoptered in all their gear. They have an access arrangement from DOC which enables them to do this, despite the area being prime habitat for the threatened and internationally significant Archey's Frog. They are allowed to clear multiple (more than 10) sites of 20m x 20m, and drill, assuming that there are not more than 5 frogs on that plot.
Surveys have shown that there are more, many more, so Oceana has approached DOC to see if they would consider allowing Oceana to relocate them to somewhere else, if they fund some research or something. Leading experts have said that this is not a good idea. That threatening a species that is already in decline and under stress like this, with no idea of outsomes, is not what we should do.
So now we need to ensure that DOC is aware that the community support this. That we don't want mining up there.
We will also be able to talk about the exploration permit off Waihi Beach, extensions at Broken Hills or other permits status as the meeting wants.
With the upcoming consultation on allowing mining on Conservation land, and the agressive exploration of Oceana and others in our area, we need to act NOW to ensure that the right decisions are made for us, and for future generations.
We need to make some NOISE!
Please join us at the Whangamata Hall on Tuesday to hear more, to ask questions, to be part of stopping mining in the conservation land in the hills behind Whangamata!

Pedestrian Deaths On The Rise By Isaac A. Mcbeth, Esq.
A recent article by the Washington Post found that pedestrian deaths have reached the highest level in 28 years. Specifically, nearly 6000 pedestrians were killed in 2016, representing a 46% increase from the number of fatalities documented just seven years earlier in 2009.
The finding came from a "Status Report" issued May 8 by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Interestingly, when I first heard of the study results, I assumed the primary culprit was distracted drivers and/or distracted pedestrians (i.e., cellphone use). However, the Status Report concluded that the common denominator for the majority of the accidents was actually road conditions. Namely, the fatal accidents involving pedestrians often occurred at evening along roads intended to funnel urban or suburban traffic to highways. Such roads are often characterized by a lack of crosswalks or poorly designed crosswalks, which entice pedestrians to traverse multiple lanes on roads with fast-moving traffic.
The Status Report supports the conclusion that the accidents are multi-factorial and demonstrate a need for changes to vehicle design (i.e., better headlights), road design (i.e., better lighting and crosswalks), and enforcement of posted speed limits. This means that future pedestrian accidents could very well trigger multiple aspects of legal liability, to include product liability on the part of manufacturers, and municipal liability on the part of local governments who design roads and/or law enforcement who police them. These are areas of practice we have significant experience in and are well-equipped to handle.
If you or someone you know has been injured or a loved one was killed in a pedestrian accident, do not hesitate to contact us. We will do everything possible to protect an injured party's legal rights.

ICE-9
ICE-9 Virus
First Appearance "Synecdoche"
Latest Appearance "return 0"
Purpose Unknown
ICE-9(.exe) is a computer virus developed by the DoD for unknown purposes. According to the Machine, it is "the world's most lethal virus", capable of "bringing Samaritan to its knees". ("Synecdoche")(".exe")
Origin of the Name
The name is an homage to Kurt Vonnegut, as Ice-Nine is a key plot point in his novel "Cat's Cradle", in which it is a polymorph of water that freezes at 45.8 °C, rather than at 0 °C. Any amount of it exposed to normal water acts as a seed crystal, converting the normal liquid water to solid Ice-Nine, even while inside the human body. Such destructive power is an indication of the virus' destructive potential.[1]
Finch stole the ICE-9 virus from Kelly Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas as a means to destroy Samaritan. ("Synecdoche")
In Richard Barnett's residence, he programmed it to activate only upon receiving the voice password "Dashwood", and equiped it with a propagation module Richard Barnett had sold to Russia's FSB to distribute spyware against US technology firms. After Barnett realizes Finch is working on the ICE-9 virus, he indicates it is capable of bringing down the Internet to which Finch replies "been there, done that. I'm moving on to bigger game." Despite Samaritan's best efforts, Finch uploads the virus onto the NSA's Intranet and activates it. (".exe")
As the Machine predicted, the virus caused significant collateral damage with devastating consequences on a global scale, including bringing down the global banking system. Shaw later called these effects Cyber Armageddon. The virus infected both Machines, eventually leading to their destruction. Samaritan, however, had copies of itself in an "airgap" server, which Finch later infected with the virus, though both Machines could upload themselves to a satellite where the Machine ultimately destroyed Samaritan. A week later, the virus had been contained and the world was beginning to recover. ("return 0")
While a voice password is required to activate the virus in ".exe", Finch activates it without the password in "return 0". This is because in the first instance, Finch installed the password as a failsafe when he didn't need it the second time.
The virus can infect most of the Internet and databases, with an exception: the places that are air-gapped, such as servers in Federal Reserve or satellites can't be affected.
Upon recognizing the virus, hacker Richard Barnett believed that Finch intended to use it to take down the Internet. Finch simply tells Barnett that he'd already done that and had something else in mind for ICE-9. (".exe")

I am new to this forum and read most the post on EMR and I feel the pain. I personally have used several of the programs mentioned here. It was not until Ifound a system that combines the same logic that Iuse for paper charts, voice and templating that I was able to effeicently and cost effectively use EMR to be nearly paperless in my office. There is an article in Clinical orthopaedic and related research Volue 421 April 2004 describing the use of word recongition software use in a busy othropaedic office.

JM, if I understood Alborg, why reinvent the wheel?
I have found voice recognition very disappointing ... much less than 99% accuracy. Sales demos can be very slick, but I'm sure they stick to standard phrases that their systems have been trained to never get wrong. And in a busy office, the ambient noise levels cause too much interference.
regarding the ambient noise; you might be using the wrong hardware setup and should be using a speech mike with USB connection which can overcome most of the ambient noise issues.
Concerning accuracy it depends on the software, hardware, and the speaker's training. If any one of these is mismatched then,of course, there will be reduced accuracy.
I presume that you also have problems with VR since there were so many spelling mistakes in your original post!
I use Dragon Naturally Speaking Medical Edition and it works for me. It does seem really expensive but it eats up words like phlegmon without a hitch.
I know that some of my colleagues with an accent get much lower accuracy - so low that they find it unworkable.
If you don't sound like Walter Cronkite or you do sound like president Bush beware.
Ooops, I'm showing my age.


The Platinum Visa Business Credit Card currently has an Informr score of 6.6 out of 10. This score is based on our evaluation of 6 sources including reviews from users and the web's most trusted critics.
Platinum Visa Business Credit Card is typically available to those with excellent credit scores (650 or greater).
This bare bones business card offers a relatively low interest rate for cardholders with excellent credit and an appealing sign-up bonus; however, it doesn't offer a rewards program.
If you're running a small business and want a credit card with competitive APR on purchases and with no annual fees, then Platinum Visa Business Credit Card is a credit card worth considering.
Easy-to-use card with business features and 0% intro APR on purchases for your first 7 billing cycles.
A no-frills product that's great for business owners looking to catch a break on interest charges or capture an easy $200 by spending at least $500 within 60 days of account opening. Plus, with no annual fee, there's no financial downside to keeping it around for occasional use (provided you pay off your balance in full each month).
The Bank of America Platinum Visa Business credit card offers a low APR and average sign-up bonus, but not much more beyond that. There is neither a rewards program nor cash back, meaning individuals and businesses will be receiving very few benefits. Despite having no annual fee, overall, we fail to see why businesses should opt for this card rather than any of its alternatives.
You can receive $200 statement credit when you spend $500 within the first 60 days of opening a new card. Some things to keep in mind about this card is that it doesn't offer any cash back opportunities, and it charges foreign transaction fees.

Form the movie Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory released in 1971 and adaptated from the 1964 novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. This song from the sound track written by and composed by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley really says quite a lot about the reality of the universe which many people are unaware of.
Biologist Richard Dawkins makes a very strong case for "thinking the improbable" by looking at how the human frame of reference limits our understanding of the universe.


Several Canadian provinces offer Canadian Permanent Residency nominations for individuals in semi-skilled professions in manufacturing, transportation, food and beverage, and hospitality occupations. These provincial nomination programs (PNPs) are designed to support economic growth by attracting work-ready immigrants to the provinces.
In general, the goal of any PNP is to simplify and speed-up the process of bringing newcomers to Canada.
These programs are intended to assist Canadian employers with critical labour shortages that cannot be filled by local residents. Employers also must meet certain requirements in order for the applicant to satisfy all the PNP criteria.
Below is an overview of the provincial nomination programs that offer semi-skilled workers the opportunity to apply for Canadian permanent residency.
Alberta employers have been suffering from chronic labour shortages in many industries so this immigration category is designed to help alleviate them.
Attorney David Cohen, of the Canadian immigration law firm Campbell Cohen explains that the wider range of eligible occupations for the Alberta PNP is an opportunity for those who may not have qualified for Canadian immigration under the Federal Skilled Worker category. "This opens the door to Canadian immigration for individuals who have the skills that are in demand in Alberta," says Attorney Cohen.
You will qualify for Canadian permanent residence through the Alberta PNP if you are working in Alberta on an LMO-based temporary work permit, have completed a minimum of high school education, and have a permanent, full-time job offer from an Alberta employer in an eligible semi-skilled occupation.
… and too many others manufacturing occupations to list!
The British Columbia PNP offers a Strategic Occupations Stream that invites applications under the Entry-Level and Semi-Skilled categories. Applications will be considered only for select occupations in the tourism/hospitality, food processing and long-haul trucking industries. These positions normally only require education up to a secondary level (high school). To qualify you must have a job offer from an employer in British Columbia that cannot be filled by a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.
The tourism/hospitality, food processing and long-haul trucking industries play a key role in BC's export-oriented economy, and are experiencing acute and persistent labour shortages. These industries have demonstrated that they will be unable to meet their on-going workforce requirements without the ability to retain foreign workers through permanent immigration.
The Northwest Territories nomination program (NTNP) has a Critical Impact Worker Category for workers in the hospitality or service sector. To qualify under the Critical Impact Worker category of the NTNP, an applicant must have a permanent full-time job offer from a Northwest Territories employer in a hospitality or service sector occupation (NOC C or D) and have worked in the position in the Northwest Territories for 6 months (on a temporary work permit).
The Saskatchewan PNP has immigration categories specifically for Long Haul Truck Drivers and those working in the Hospitality Sector.
To qualify as a Long Haul Truck Driver, an applicant must have a temporary job offer from a Saskatchewan trucking firm; be eligible for a work permit; have a valid trucking license on par with a Saskatchewan Class 1A drivers license; have at least two years of trucking experience, be able to travel to the United States, if required, and have reasonable communications skills in English.
To qualify as a Critical Impact Worker under the Yukon PNP (YNP), the applicant must have a permanent full-time job offer from a Yukon employer in an occupation that qualifies as NOC C or D. In addition, the applicant must have worked in the position for 6 months on a temporary work permit or a score of 55 or better on the YNP Pre-Assessment.

It's hard to know where to start when you're the type of person who doesn't know how to ask for help. So I'll start by introducing myself. I am Jacob and my story is like most of yours. I was first diagnosed with ADHD when I was 17 or 18 and was prescribed Ritalin by my doctor. For months I took it, lost 50 pounds and could focus on work. Soon it stopped working for me and all I had to show for it was a cranky angry attitude. I stopped taking it and was good till about a year ago. My partner (I'll call him Jt) has been taking Adderall for years now and when we moved in together I started taking it and it was great, it was love the fog had lifted in my head and I could do or be anything. I got myself back into school and planning my life out. Soon when school started I wasn't going to get any sleep, so we decided to stay up all night and take Adderall to keep up going. I thought that was a great idea and at first it was nice because we would stay up all night and talk. That didn't last long; we both get so lost in doing random stuff and spend the night hours in silent darkness. We get 60 30mg pills every 24 days and at least 3 days we stay up all night, the day after is always horrible and we always decide to never do it again. A year and a half later we still are doing the same thing. When my partner first started talking about quitting this week I thought, ok you quit, I am not addicted to it and don't need to stop. I can see now how stupid that thought was. Let me explain how the last 7 days has been for us. We were able to get a refill on the 26th, which we have no insurance for so it cost about $80, we needed if for Sunday so Saturday night we went to the 24hr pharmacy and got it after midnight. Jt had to be up at 530am so I decided to we would just stay up all night and we will be good. Sunday morning I was able to fall asleep at 7am and was back up taking more by 10am. Sunday night comes around and I still can't sleep so we decided again to stay up, Jt made it till about 3 and I was up all night, thus comes Tuesday night, Jt got home from work and we spent some together and he was off to sleep. I couldn't sleep still and was up all night but luckily didn't take any. Wednesday morning I was able to get 3 more hours of sleep, when Jt got home he wanted to take a half and so we did and he fell asleep no problem, I ended up being up all night. I had spent 3 and a half hours standing in the bathroom for no reason. Thursday morning I got to sleep around 7 and slept till 1230, just enough to dose up and make it to a job interview. I had to take more because I was so out of it and wanted to do good in my interview, by 3 Thursday night we both got to sleep. For 5 days I couldn't sleep, I had to force myself to eat and drink and I have absolutely nothing good to show for it. Today is the 31st and we have 7 pills out of the 60 we got, 18 days till we can refill again and have almost nothing left. Wednesday night was the worst for me I was having chest pain, joint pains, I couldn't focus my sight on anything more than 6 inches from my face so I came on to here. I started reading about what I need to do and I have decided that I am an addict and I need help. I told Jt Thursday that I was done taking it and that I would help him wean off of it. Today was supposed to be day 1 for me and about lunch time I was so irritable and hostile that Jt gave me a pill and I took it. It was at that point that I knew we have to do it at the same time and can't have it in our home. I'm off to a great start. I need some advice on overcoming this and how we can both do it before it destroys everything that is important in our lives. I need so advice on how to get clean, and dealing with the withdraw symptoms?


How many socks and leggings does Calzedonia have to sell in Causeway Bay to make enough money just to pay its landlord?
The Italian fashion brand has renewed its lease on a 400-square-foot shop at 60A Russell Street, a month before its contract was to expire, Apple Daily reports.
The new contract represents a 15 percent increase from the old lease.
Calzedonia will pay HK$9 million for a one-year lease, or HK$750,000 a month. That translates to about HK$22,500 per square foot.
That's not unusual for a shop on Russell Street, which is the world's most expensive retail space.
Last year, Russell Street regained the crown as the priciest commercial area by rental value after five years, according to property agency Cushman & Wakefield.
In 2018, average rent on the snooty shopping block was US$2,671 (HK$20,953) per square foot. Although down 1.5 percent, the rate was high enough to trump New York's Upper 5th Avenue, where rents fell 25 percent last year as vacancies rose.
Calzelona's decision to agree to a rent hike indicates a trending up at Russell Street, which is a must shopping area for mainland tourists obsessed with luxury brands.
Thanks to the inauguration of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao bridge and the high-speed Express Rail Link, the city's enhanced connectivity is expected to lure more mainland tourists.
That's why Hong Kong might reverse the falling trend in commercial rents since arrivals across the border peaked in 2015 as a growing number of tourists from across the border felt they were not welcome here and went to other destinations such as Japan and Europe instead.
That's why, too, Calzedonia will have to sell lots and lots of socks, leggings, and lingerie to be able to pay the rent and cope with the competition from the likes of Victoria's Secret.
The Italian retailer has 16 outlets in Hong Kong, including those for its other brands such as Intimissimi and Falconeri.
Well, in order to be a luxury brand, one must be able to project luxury.

HEALTH POLITICS: Removal of Over Age Exemption for children with disabilities in ECCE scheme regressive – says West Cork TD
By TheCork.ie on 27th November, 2017 Comments Off on HEALTH POLITICS: Removal of Over Age Exemption for children with disabilities in ECCE scheme regressive – says West Cork TD
elaine@TheCork.ie
Fianna Fáil Spokesperson on Disability, Margaret Murphy O'Mahony TD (Cork South West) has said that she is very concerned at "reports that the Overage Age Exemption has been removed from the Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) Scheme from September 2018″.
Deputy Murphy O'Mahony was commenting after numerous people raised with her the changes to the scheme that will severely hamper the mainstreaming of children with disabilities in the school system.
The Over Age Exemption previously allowed children with disabilities attend an ECCE place for longer before attending primary school, thereby giving them more time to prepare for this change.
"The removal of this exemption will greatly worry the parents of the children with disabilities who were relying on it to allow them prepare their child better for primary school.
"Children with disabilities, of all levels, sometimes need a bit of extra time before they start in the local mainstream primary school.
"From my own experience as an SNA, allowing this exemption ensured that a child with a disability wasn't sent to mainstream school before they were ready for it.
"This removal will severely worry parents of children with disabilities who are due to start their ECCE placement in September 2018.
"I'm shocked that Minister for Disabilities, Finian McGrath would allow his government colleague, Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Katherine Zappone, bring in these regressive changes.
"They should be a U-turn on this issue as it's bad for children and bad for our society," concluded Murphy O'Mahony.
