Q: Origin of 'a rising tide lifts all boats' 'A rising tide lifts all boats'  is a saying that has become more and more common in recent decades and is often used in economic and political contexts:

*

*The aphorism "a rising tide lifts all boats" is associated with the idea that improvements in the general economy will benefit all participants in that economy. The phrase is commonly attributed to John F Kennedy who used it in a 1963 speech to combat criticisms that a dam project he was inaugurating was a pork barrel project.

actually:

*

*according to Kennedy's speechwriter Ted Sorensen  the phrase was not one of his or the president's own fashioning. It was in his first year working for Kennedy (during JFK's tenure in the Senate), when Mr. Sorensen was trying to tackle economic problems in New England, that he happened upon the phrase.

*He writes that he noticed that "the regional chamber of commerce, the New England Council, had a thoughtful slogan: 'A rising tide lifts all the boats.' " From then on, JFK would borrow the slogan often. Sorensen highlights this as an example of quotes mistakenly attributed to President Kennedy.

Whether or not JFK learned it  from the New England Council, the saying appears to have an older origin , probably linked to the fishermen stories of that part of the East Coast.
Does anyone have more on this issue?

A: Results from a Google Books search strongly suggest that the expression originated (in print) in religious publications. At least in my search results, publications of the missionary wing of the Methodist Episcopal Church account for the first five matches, spread across a period of seven years. The earliest of these sources (from January 1910) credits the saying to a Commissioner McFarland, who may be the author of the third article cited below.
From "Never Paralleled in New York," in The [New York] Christian Advocate (January 20, 1910):

Many ministers have heartily indorsed the [Laymen's Missionary] Movement and will support it with their indispensable influence. With their cooperation failure is impossible, and it is the universal post-convention report from the other cities that all local causes have been helped on by the new impulse of the Movement whose watchword is "For the Other Man." As Commissioner McFarland said at the Astor dinner, The rising tide lifts every boat!

From "Japanese Church in Wonsan, Korea," in The [Nashville, Tennessee] Missionary Voice (May 1911):

Now the building of the church in Wonsan [Korea], of course, was not entirely, or maybe even mainly, responsible for the building of the great church at home. But at least it did not hinder, and who doubts that the enlargement of heart that came to them through that unselfish thing, the spiritual swing developed in that enterprise abroad, hastened and helped on the larger thing they would do at home? "The rising tide lifts all boats," and "the light that shines farthest shines brightest at home."

From Henry B. F. McFarland, "The Man by Man Rise of a Race of Men," in Association  Men (January 1915):

The rising tide lifts all the boats upon it. All parts of the colored [Young Men's Christian] Association movement have shared in the new progress. Great corporations employing negro workmen—like the Newport News Ship Building Company, which has already started work, with its four thousand negro employees—see the advantage of such Associations.

From "Woman's Home Missionary Society," in Minutes of the One Hundred and Seventeenth Session of the New York Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church held in First Church, Peekskill, N.Y. March 22, 1916 (1916):

Wherever there is an active, interested, wide-awake Woman's Missionary Organization there will be found a broadened vision, an increasing zeal along all lines, and a permeating spirit of the Christ-love that is most helpful. "The rising tide lifts all boats."

From Hugh Burleson, "The Progress of the Kingdom," in The Spirit of the Missions (May 1916):

The editor of THE SPIRIT OF THE MISSIONS is certain that he speaks not only for himself but for every official connected with any missionary enterprise when he declares that he would not, if he could, divert a single dollar from the relief of Europe. On the contrary, he rejoices when gifts for the war sufferers increase, not only because of his passionate desire that this awful suffering may be relieved, but also because he knows that "a rising tide lifts all the boats," and that every good cause should profit by the sympathy which this crying need awakens in the hearts of men and women who too long have been concerned chiefly about their own comfort and gratification.

From "A Hint from Harvard," in Harvard Alumni Bulletin (December 11, 1919):

There must be hundreds of Harvard men who on reading that [story] will directly double their subscriptions; the tale is so darned humane! I am not a Harvard man as you know, but the Top Sergeant and his wife make me double my paltry ten dollars. The psychology of the outsiders with colleges of their own to serve is quite correct. A rising tide lifts all the boats!

And finally, the cover of American Gas Monthly (March 1920) consists of the following quotation and subtitle:

"The Rising Tide Lifts All the Boats."
When the tide of public opinion swells through recognition of service well performed, all our boats will be lifted.

Basically what we have here is a slogan so successful that in a single decade it went from being a watchword—indeed almost a catchphrase—of a vigorous Christian missionary movement to becoming an inspirational proverb for members of the American Gas Association to contemplate.

A: C. H. Spurgeon used it quite a lot in expositions and in sermons! About prayer and the church and seasons of man to God. referencing Ezekiel 36:37 and also PS 74 are the two I know of and there are a lot more.

South African President, Cyril Ramaphosa Tests Positive For COVID-19
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has tested positive for COVID-19 and is receiving treatment for mild symptoms, his office said.
Ramaphosa, who is fully vaccinated, began feeling unwell after leaving a state memorial service for former President F W de Klerk in Cape Town on Sunday, it said.
The 69-year-old leader is now self-isolating in Cape Town and is being monitored by the South African Military Health Service, it said.
He has delegated all responsibilities to Deputy President David Mabuza for the next week.
The presidency did not say whether Ramaphosa had been infected with the Omicron variant of the coronavirus.
The highly mutated variant, which was first detected in South Africa last month, has sparked global panic over fears that it is more contagious than other strains of the coronavirus.
The presidency said Ramaphosa and his team had been tested for COVID-19 multiple times last week during visits to four West African countries.
Some in the president's delegation tested positive in Nigeria and returned directly to South Africa. Throughout the rest of the trip, Ramaphosa and his delegation tested negative.
"The president and the delegation returned to South Africa from the Republic of Senegal on Wednesday, December 8, 2021, after obtaining negative test results.
"The president also tested negative on his return to Johannesburg on December 8," it said.
The statement quoted Ramaphosa as saying that his own infection served as a warning to all citizens of the importance of getting vaccinated and remaining vigilant against exposure.
"Vaccination remains the best protection against severe illness and hospitalization," the statement said.

Job fairs scheduled for Publix stores opening this summer in Richmond, Virginia
Publix stores coming to Richmond, VA - Photo: Blasting News Library - ABC News - go.com
Publix Super Markets are hiring for the summer and job fairs are going on from May 10 through May 14.
by Margaret Minnicks
May 10, 2017 at 12:28 PM May 10, 2017 at 12:28 PM
The remaining Martin's stores in Richmond, Virginia will all be closed by July 10. There are only three left in the area that will reopen as Publix Super Markets. They are the ones on W. Broad Street, Three Chopt Road, and W. Cary Street. Seven Martin's stores are already renovated to reopen as Publix Super Markets this summer. That means there will be job openings at all Publix locations.
Not all Martin's grocery stores were sold to Publix. Martin's on Hull Street Road and Courthouse Road are closing on June 30 because their lease will expire.
However, they will not reopen as a Publix grocery store.
Two Publix Super Markets are set to open this summer in Henrico. The stores are located at 5400 Wyndham Forest Drive and 10250 Staples Mill Road. To get enough workers for these two stores, a job fair for the stores is being held from May 10 through May 14 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day at the Comfort Suites at 4051 Innslake Drive in Glen Allen. Many employees are needed for these two stores.
You may schedule an appointment, but walk-ins are welcome to attend and apply for a job.
Publix is hiring in all departments.
About Publix
Publix Super Markets, Inc., is commonly known as Publix. The chain is based in Lakeland, Florida. Even though it is one of the largest regional grocery stores, there is not a Publix in every state. The stores are spread throughout seven of the Southeastern states, including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.
Of the seven states, Virginia is as far north as the chain goes with its 1,000 locations.
If you live in any one of the above states, feel free to check out Publix even though you might already shop at other supermarkets. Publix is different from some of the other chains because inside the store are cafes, sushi bars, a pharmacy, a liquor store and valet parking.
Once you shop at Publix, you find out that you don't have to leave Publix to purchase health foods or organic foods because they are available there.
Publix also offers a variety of customer services such as check cashing and buying and cashing money orders. You can purchase lottery tickets as well as the taking advantage of movie rentals.
Publix prides itself on an excellent place to shop and a good place to work. If you are looking for a job in the Richmond, Virginia area, attend the Publix job fair on any day between May 10 and May 14 and apply for a job that is available in all departments.

Zcova is making genuine, ethical diamonds an affordable right for all
By Natalie Khoo
Malaysian brothers Low Ziwei and Low Ziyin are on a mission to educate people about jewellery and to develop the local design community through their brand, Zcova.
Low Ziyin (left) and Low Ziwei (right)
It is no easy feat starting a jewellery business from scratch, let alone an e-commerce handcrafted jewellery business like Zcova. But for the brand's founders, Malaysian brothers Low Ziwei and Low Ziyin, it has been quite a rewarding journey this past two years – and the future seems as bright as their diamonds.
The journey began when Ziwei, a former auditor and the older brother of the two, discovered that he had been considerably overcharged for the engagement ring he had purchased. Although it was two years too late, his experience inspired him to help other men avoid the same mistake.
At the time, Ziyin, who had studied design and then obtained his Gemological Insitute of America (GIA) certificate, was working as a gemologist in Lebanon. While he was keen to work in the mines, his family was concerned for his safety there, and that eventually led him back to Malaysia.
Putting Ziwei's jewellery shopping experience and Ziyin's knowledge of gemstones and design together, the idea to start their own jewellery business was born.
Better value bespoke creations
"It was very new for us to start a business in the jewellery line but the thing is that we came in with a very fresh idea. We want to bring the actual value of the diamond to our customers, and we want to do it online," Ziwei tells us. "We're different not just in the fact that we're online; our jewellery are custom-made and available at a reasonable price."
Being an online company, Zcova operates on a low-cost model which allows them to offer diamonds and gemstones at a more affordable rate compared to traditional brick-and-mortar jewellers.
On average, Zcova's products are about 20-30% cheaper than local retailers and more than 50% cheaper than international retailers.
According to Ziwei, the industry norm is for retailers to have a mark-up of 100% to 200% for diamonds, leading to the misconception that they are exclusive goods when in fact, they have become a commodity like oil or gold.
"What retailers do is that they try to sell their inventory because that is all they have. For our company, we don't have our own (physical) inventory but we are linked to all our suppliers' inventories, so we have access to about 150,000 diamonds. If we don't sell them, we have nothing to lose because it's not our inventory," Ziwei explains of their business model.
Some of Zcova's dazzling jewellery pieces (swipe left for more).

Aside from giving customers better value for quality diamonds and gemstones, Zcova takes pride in providing personalisation options to customers.
From choosing the 4Cs – colour, cut, clarity and carat weight of the diamond down to the size and design of the ring or matching band, the number of options you get with Zcova is practically limitless.
"If you go to retailers, they will show you only the products that they have, then you choose the one that you want and they'll give you the price. But we give you the customisation options and the variety at one price. You can do anything you want to the ring that we think is within the design style," Ziyin says proudly.
Guaranteed authenticity and security
While being an e-commerce business saves them cost on logistics and vaulting, there are other challenges that come with operating online; the primary issue being customer trust.
To counter doubts, Zcova ensures all their diamonds are GIA-certified, so every purchase is accompanied by an independent, accurate and detailed report about the diamond's unique qualities.
"If customers ask us how do we guarantee that our diamonds are genuine, we tell them that if the laser inscription on the diamond does not match the certificate, we will refund them 400% or whatever amount they're satisfied with – that's how confident we are with our products," Ziyin contends.
But is it possible to forge a certificate?
"No," Ziyin replies. "There's a lot of security measures on the certificate which only GIA has that kind of technology to do. You can also cross check the number on the certificate with their website, which will give you exactly the same details of the diamond, like the spot where there is an inclusion."
If that information doesn't satisfy you, watch the video below for three simple tips from Ziyin to determine whether a diamond is genuine or simulated.
On the issue of blood diamonds, Ziwei explains that it really isn't an issue at all, but has been "blown out of proportion due to Hollywood".
"In the market, blood diamonds only contribute maybe about 1% of the all the diamonds in the world which means it would be harder for me to find a blood diamond than it is to find a legal diamond," Ziwei laughs.
Jokes aside, Zcova maintains that all their diamonds are sourced from countries that comply to the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS), which prevents conflict diamonds or 'blood diamonds' from entering the legitimate trade.
Shining bright for the industry
Understanding the intimidating process new customers go through when buying jewellery, Zcova aims to break down that barrier and educate people more about the industry, such as what the 4Cs mean and what are customers really investing in.
With that goal in mind, Zcova is proud to launch their new showroom in July, welcoming customers to come and sit with them to understand the jewellery-making process and have a closer look at their products.
There's more exciting news from Zcova – they will be launching their new website in August, featuring an impressive range of jewellery for customers to choose from.
"For me, there is no meaning in starting a company only for profit. We want a company that gives value to consumers and to the design community – that is our core value." – Low Ziwei
In a bid to advance the local jewellery industry and cultivate Malaysian talents, Zcova also seeks to work with local designers to create more exclusive jewellery pieces.
"We have to understand that Malaysia used to be one of the biggest exporters for jewellery along with India and Dubai back in the 80s and 90s, and that is dying. So we want to encourage young designers to put up their designs," Ziyin divulges.
"We want them to develop their own brand but we will give them the platform to sell their jewellery so they don't have to come up with their own capital."
Zcova started off specialising in engagement rings, then expanded to wedding bands. By the end of the year, they hope to be launching a men's jewellery line and establish themselves as a full-fledged jewellery company.
"A company that only concentrates on profit will never succeed. For me, there is no meaning in starting a company only for profit. We want a company that gives value to consumers and to the design community – that is our core value," Ziwei reveals.

When I was seven years old, I learned that I was part-Italian through my maternal grandmother. I knew then that sooner or later I would end up in Italy. My passion for Italian opera, art, and language only fanned the flames of this dream, and I finally took the plunge. After growing up in Seattle, and studying opera in Boston and Montréal, I quit my job, sold my belongings, and moved to Rome (with no contacts, job, or plan). I fell instantly in love with the history, beauty, and—dare I say it—magic of this fascinating city. Rome became, quite literally, my muse.
I am passionate about sharing culture, history, art, and travel—and in particular the marvels of Rome—whether it be through books for young readers, articles for the adventurous-minded, podcasts for aspiring expats, or guided tours for curious travelers. Words—both written and spoken—are my vehicle of choice, allowing me to transport both myself and my audience across the world or back in time.
The true passion of my heart is crafting stories for young readers. The books that we read as children stay with us forever, and influence our reading preferences (and our lives) for years to come. I am honored to have the opportunity to write for this inquisitive and open-minded audience. My first book, Midnight in the Piazza, is an art mystery for Middle Grade readers (ages 8-12) and will be published by HarperCollins Children's on 6 March 2018.
I am also a travel writer and editor, with over seven years' experience in the field. I head up the editorial team at Where Rome magazine, and as a freelancer, my articles have appeared in a number of international publications, from the Sydney Morning Herald to The Wall Street Journal's expat blog. I am also the co-host and co-creator of The BitterSweet Life, a podcast dedicated to the joys and frustrations of the expat experience. I have been musing about Rome's art, history, culture, customs, quirks, and curiosities on my personal blog, The Pines of Rome, since 2010.
In addition, I lead private city tours around Rome, focusing on off-the-beaten-path sites, the underground city, lesser-visited museums, and themed walks on Bernini, Borromini, and Caravaggio. When I'm not writing, reading, recording, or leading a tour, I can usually be found exploring Rome's monuments and museums with my Roman husband Claudio and my little redhead Aurelio.
I am represented by John Silbersack at Trident Media Group.
Find me on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Goodreads, LinkedIn, and iTunes.

I just ran across this wonderful new, new for me, site to explore fiber art. TextileArtist.org There is a great interview with artist Heather Dubreuil that you should check out. I found this site by being a member of SAQA. Are you a member yet? Think about it.


New metropolitan area employment and unemployment numbers released today show continued job growth for the Washington region with 18,300 jobs added in February. This is an increase of 62,400 jobs over February 2016, with the sectors of Professional & Business Services and Leisure & Hospitality leading the pack. The unemployment rate remains constant at 3.9 percent, below the nation rate of 4.7.
Between February 2016 and February 2017, Suburban Maryland saw its largest job growth since 2000, adding 31,900 jobs. February annualized employment change in the District and Northern Virginia remains similar to recent months. The unemployment rate in DC ticks slightly higher to 6.1 percent and remains the highest in the region. Northern Virginia unemployment moved down to 3.3 percent, while Suburban Maryland and the region as a whole remain steady at 3.9 percent.
Of notable concern due to the current policy environment, federal government jobs in the region remain steady but are trending downward. We will continue to monitor these numbers closely. March national employment numbers are scheduled to be released this Friday (April 7th) and regional employment numbers for March on May 3rd.

During your visit, you be given time to enjoy a tour of the school site and have an opportunity to meet a senior member of staff, who will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Please contact Nicola Brunning, Office Manager, on 01223 566879 or e-mail office@stlukes.cambs.sch.uk to arrange a visit.
Reception Places for September 2020
We will be holding open mornings/afternoons on the following dates:
Tuesday 3rd December, 09:30-10:30
Wednesday 4th December, 13:30-14:30
Thursday 12th December, 09:30-10:30
Tuesday 7th January, 13:30-14:30
To visit, please contact Nicola Brunning (as above).
Joining at the start of Reception & Years 1 to 6
Parents wishing to apply for a place for their child in one of our Reception classes or in a class in Years One to Six, please visit the Cambridgeshire Local Authority's School Admissions website.
This includes a new school catchment search facility so that you can find out if you are living in our school's catchment area (although you do not need to be in catchment to apply).
You can also apply for a place online.
Joining the School During the School Year
Reception and Years One to Six
If you wish to join the school at a time other than the start of the school year, please visit this section of the Cambridgeshire Local Authority website.
If you wish to apply for a place at our school on religious grounds then click here to download the appropriate guidance.
How Places Are Offered
For admission into Reception each September, the LA, on behalf of the Governing Body, will offer places to up to 30 children. This is the Published Admission Number (PAN) for that year group.
In the event that more than 30 applications are received, the oversubscription criteria will be applied to determine priority for places. Both preferences are treated equally, regardless of whether they are first or second preference
Over-subscription Criteria
Children who have a statement of special educational needs, whose parents/carers name the school will be admitted.
N.B. Those children with a statement of special educational needs whose parents/carers do not name a school will be referred to Student Assessment to determine an appropriate place.
Where applications exceed the number of places available at the school, referred to as the PAN the following criteria are applied in order.
* The home address is defined as the address of the adult with parental responsibility with whom the child normally lives and which applies at the time of application. Future addresses will be accepted only if the move is intended to take place within 6 teaching weeks of the application and upon confirmation of tenancy or exchange of contracts. For further details, please see the full definition in the LA admissions booklet for parents
** A sibling is defined as another child of compulsory school age living in the same family home.
Children in Care, also known as Looked After Children (LAC)
Children living in the catchment area* with a sibling** at the school at the time of admission;
Children living in the catchment area;
Children living outside the catchment area who have a sibling at the school at the time of admission;
Children who live in the ecclesiastical Parish of the Ascension, Cambridge (see attached map)
Children of regular worshippers of a Christian church;
Children of regular worshippers of other World Faiths;
Children living outside the catchment area, but nearest the school according to the shortest safe walking route from their home to the school site.
In criteria 4 and 5, priority in a tie-break will be given to children living nearest the school according to the shortest straight line distance. The distance is measured using a straight line from the centre point of the home to the centre point of the school as determined by the National Land and Property Gazetteer (NLPG).
For Years 1 to 6, the PAN is 30. If a place becomes available it will be offered to the child at the top of the reserve list for the year group or, if no reserve list exists, the place will be offered to the first child for whom an application is received.
Reserve Lists
When an application is refused, the child's details are automatically placed on a reserve list for the year group, ranked according to the oversubscription criteria.
As part of the co-ordinated scheme for primary admissions, the LA Admissions Team holds the initial reserve list on behalf of the governing body until the end of the first week of the autumn term in the initial year of intake.
If A Place Opens Up
Parents will be contacted immediately if a place becomes available for their child, but should be aware that their child's place on a reserve list may change if an application is subsequently received that meets a higher criterion than their own.
The governing body then manages the reserve list until the end of the autumn term.
Mid-Phase Applications
Where mid-phase applications are received, children's details will be automatically placed on a reserve list for the year group, ranked according to the oversubscription criteria.
Reserve lists will be held for a period of one term following the term for which the place was refused.
The parent of any child who is refused a place at a VA or F Primary School has a right of appeal to an independent Appeals Panel. The panel consists of three people who are independent of the school's Governing Body and the Local Education Authority.
The panel will consider the circumstances of the case put before them and the Governing Body and parents must abide by the decision it makes.
Appeals for VA or F Primary School are currently arranged by the LA Admissions Team on behalf of the Governing Body. Further information and appeal forms are available from the Admissions Team.
Infant Class Size Review
Please note that where a child is refused a place in an infant class because of the requirement to limit class size to 30 children, parents have the right to have their decision reviewed. This process is very similar to an appeal, but the circumstances in which the panel can find in the parents favour are limited by law. For further information, please contact the school office or the LA Admissions Team.
For the purpose of admission to the school, the Governing Body has adopted the LA's definitions of parent, sibling and home address. Details of these can be found at the back of the LA's admission booklet for parents.
Applications made under the religious criteria
All parents wishing to apply under the school's religious criteria must also provide a letter from their parish priest, minister or religious leader confirming the family is known and involved in the life of the church or worshipping community.
This must be returned to the school by the LA application deadline or, for mid-phase applications, at the same time as the school's application form is submitted.
This letter will define which admission group the child fits into (please see list above).
For details of how pupils' personal data is collected and used, please click here.

I use Snopes as my go-to fact checker.
But I have heard from some of my friends that Snopes "has an agenda" and that the site's information is no longer reliable.
Since everybody is saying that about everything these days I am a little skeptical.
I like Snopes, I usually find them to be pretty fair, and often they cite reputable sources. I usually hear that they "have an agenda" by angry people (of both sides) who simply don't agree and don't want to listen.
Snopes is considered objective and unbiased, except by certain right wing groups. Drudge Report, Breitbart, and InfoWars have all criticized Snopes because it regularly points out false stories on those websites.
But Snopes has also called out left wing distortions and inaccuracies.
I like Snopes and I like that it quotes sources, and reliable sources (not media sites that are right wing or left wing).
I don't know of any agenda that snopes has. But it is not ALWAYS accurate. I've known it to be factually incorrect a couple of times. But you will still learn some facts about what you are looking up on Snopes that you probably didn't know.
One thing I have noticed about SNOPES is that they tend to slant things. Let's say you have a question about whether a person said something or not. And let's say the person actually said the thing and the thing was somewhat unflattering for the speaker. If the person is a conservative, they will rule it as TRUE and they will proceed to show where and when that person said the thing. Now if the person is a liberal, they will rule it as PARTIALLY TRUE and they will then come out with some statement that yes, the person actually did say that, but then will try justifying why that person said it.
Also, it is my understanding that SNOPES doesn't really have good guidance or oversight of how things are judged.
Yes. I especially like how they list every tiny one of their sources so you can follow up and do your own research. At first I used to do just that because I don't trust anyone, but they always checked out.
Conservatives tend to think they're biased because so often their claims, especially of persecution, show up as false. For example, the Tennessee school district did not ban displaying the American flag on campuses.
Delta Airlines does not prohibit Jews or Bibles from their flights.
And there are some disappointments. Trump never said Republicans are the dumbest group of voters.
"They have an agenda" = "I don't want to hear what they have to say. It does not conform to my worldview".
Oh wait. Never mind. I got you.
I think they're usually pretty good, and I don't think they "have an agenda" intentionally, but I do think they tend to stop researching when they find some mainstream information… and mainstream information may be manufactured (e.g. when a very large corporation and/or political engine has ideas they want maintained or squashed, they often buy/threaten researchers and/or mainstream media who publish credible-looking misleading articles, which Snopes often won't try to penetrate).
I think they started out as objective and unbiased and I still think they are about the best single resource for lazy, quick fact checking. I do believe now there is a hint of bias, especially on the more politically charged issues where the truth is fuzzy.
As a skeptic it is my first go-to site.
Are facts truly relevant when someone wishes to believe them?

tcsh is an enhanced but completely compatible version of the Berkeley UNIX C shell, csh(1). It is a command language interpreter usable both as an interactive login shell and a shell script command processor. It includes a command-line editor, programmable word completion, spelling correction, a history mechanism, job control and a C-like syntax.
A shell is a religious issue with most unix people, but for what it's worth I have implemented tcsh as my default shell.
When upgrading, try not to be running tcsh as you'll most likely be logged out of the system when you remove the shell you're running!
More tcsh information can be found here.
Please install the correct version of tcsh for your release of Solaris.

Title: My life, my rules.
The cover page of the book is a bright yellow with a colourful topography. As the title suggests, the book contains the stories about eighteen people who decided to chose their passion as a full-time profession. The author has provided a disclaimer that the book does not tell you how to take up alternative career path or become become successful entrepreneurs. It is interesting to see the sketches of each person at the beginning to the story.
Sonia has picked up few of the celebrities in her book and has interviewed them. Each story is about a successful entrepreneur and the hurdles they have faced to reach the top level.
A story about Rahul Akerkar, a Biochemical Engineer and while pursuing his PhD in the USA decides to become a restauranteur. He realises that his passion was cooking and not PhD. What made his take such a step being an engineer? Was his family happy about his decision? What were the challenges he faced while setting up a restaurant. The other stories are about the famous people whom we see on the television and have admired them. Nikhil Chinappa, an architect turned VJ, RJ and a DJ. Most of us are always surprised to see him on MTV while he holds a professional degree from a reputed college. Likewise, Aditi Govitrikar, a doctor by profession who worked hard day and night to get a medical seat turns into a model and actor. Most of them would end up thinking, how can someone with a pretty face, who struggled so much would get into modelling. Being an MBA from the top B school, IIM-A, Harsha Bhogle turns into a commentator though his childhood dream was to become a cricketer.
a Chemical engineer and an MBA from Narsee Monjee, now a Managing Director of Great Indian Outdoors Private Limited.
an alumni of IIM Calcutta is a founder of Collage Sports Management.
an Electronics Engineer turned actor.
a PhD in Environmental Toxicology from a top US university turns into a Bass guitar player and Vocalist, band Indian Ocean.
an alumni of IIT Bombay now the Chief Minister of Goa.
Founder and CEO of Sula Vineyards.
Legendary cricketer and Chairman of the National Selection Committee.
ex-secretary general, CIVIVUS - World Alliance for Citizen Participation.
Founder of Tarun Tahiliani Design Studio.
Bestselling author of Shiva Trilogy.
Managing Director, IITians PACE Education Private Limited.
Food Critic, Author and TV Host.
After completing the book, I felt that the author had chosen each celebrity carefully and spent a considerable amount of time on their childhood dreams, how their family influenced them, how their spouses were supportive and most important, if they ever regret over making such a major decision which has has a huge impact.
I felt the book was written on the similar lines as Stay Hungry Stay Foolish by Rashmi Bansal. At some point of time, the author has given too much information which the reader would lose focus.
About the author: Sonia Golani is an alumna of Lady Shri Ram College, Delhi and a Post Graduate from Delhi University. She has been managing her recruitment consulting firm Management Consultants Group since setting it up in 1998. MCG specialises in recruitment of professionals (MBAs and CAs) for Banking, Financial Services, Insurance and FMCG sectors.

Задача о самом длинном пути — это задача поиска простого пути максимальной длины в заданном графе. Путь называется простым, если в нём нет повторных вершин. Длина пути может быть измерена либо числом рёбер, либо (в случае взвешенных графов) суммой весов его рёбер. В отличие от задачи кратчайшего пути, которая может быть решена за полиномиальное время на графах без циклов с отрицательным весом, задача нахождения самого длинного пути является NP-трудной и не может быть решена за полиномиальное время для произвольных графов, если только не P = NP. Принадлежность более тяжелому классу сложности также означает, что задачу трудно аппроксимировать. Однако задача решается за линейное время на ориентированных ациклических графах, которые имеют важное применение в задачах нахождения критического пути в задачах планирования.

NP-трудность
NP-трудность невзвешенной задачи поиска самого длинного пути можно показать, сведя задачу к поиску  — граф G имеет гамильтонов путь тогда и только тогда, когда самый длинный путь в нём имеет длину n − 1, где n — число вершин графа G. Поскольку задача поиска гамильтонова пути является NP-полной, это сведение показывает, что задачи поиска самого длинного пути в варианте разрешимости также NP-полна. В этой задаче разрешимости входом является граф G и число k. Ожидается выход "да", если G содержит путь с k и больше дугами, или нет в противном случае.

Если бы задача поиска самого длинного пути могла быть решена за полиномиальное время, она могла бы быть использована для решения этой задачи разрешимости путём нахождения самого длинного пути и сравнения длины полученного пути с числом k. Таким образом, задача поиска самого длинного пути является NP-трудной. Она не является NP-полной, поскольку она не является задачей разрешимости.

Во взвешенных полных графах с неотрицательными весами рёбер задача поиска взвешенного самого длинного пути является той же самой задачей, что и задача коммивояжёра, поскольку самый длинный путь всегда включает все вершины этой задачи.

Ацикличные графы и критические пути
Самый длинный путь A между двумя заданными вершинами s и t во взвешенном графе G — это то же самое, что и кратчайший путь в графе −G, полученном из G путём замены всех весов на веса с обратным знаком. Таким образом, если кратчайший путь можно найти в −G, то можно найти и самый длинный путь в G.

Для большинства графов такое преобразование бесполезно, поскольку создаёт циклы отрицательной длины в −G. Но если G является ориентированным ациклическим графом, невозможно создать отрицательный цикл и самый длинный путь в G может быть найден за линейное время, применив алгоритм поиска кратчайшего пути в −G (тоже ориентированный ациклический граф), который работает за линейное время. Например, для любой вершины v в ориентированном ациклическом графе длина самого длинного пути, заканчивающегося в v, может быть получена выполнением следующих шагов:
 Осуществляем топологическую сортировку заданного ориентированного ациклического графа (ОАГ).
 Для каждой вершины v ОАГ в топологической сортировке вычисляем длину самого длинного пути, завершающегося в вершине v путём просмотра входящих дуг от соседей и добавления единички к максимальной длине в записях этих соседей. Если v не имеет входящих дуг, присваиваем длину самого длинного пути, кончающегося в v, нулю.
Когда это будет сделано, самый длинный путь во всём графе можно получить, начав с вершины v с самым большим записанным значением и проходя в обратном порядке, выбирая входящую дугу, у которой запись в начальной вершине имеет наибольшее значение.

Метод критического пути для планирования набора работ использует построение ориентированного ацикличного графа, в котором вершины представляют узловые события проекта, а дуги представляют работы, которые должны быть выполнены до узлового события и после него. Каждой дуге присваивается вес, равный оценочному времени выполнения работы. В таком графе самый длинный путь от первого узлового события до последнего является критическим путём, который определяет полное время завершения проекта.

Самый длинный путь ориентированных ацикличных графов можно применить также для послойного рисования графов — располагаем каждую вершину v ориентированного ацикличного графа G на уровне, номер которого соответствует длине самого длинного пути, заканчивающегося в v. В результате получим расположение вершин по уровням, при котором число уровней будет минимальным.

Приближение
Бьёрклунд, Хасфелдт и Канна писали, что задача поиска самого длинного пути в невзвешенном неориентированном графе является «печально известной по сложности понимания её трудности аппроксимации».
Лучший известный алгоритм аппроксимации полиномиального времени выполнения даёт лишь очень слабую аппроксимацию,  . Для любого  невозможно аппроксимировать самый длинный путь со множителем, меньшим , если только NP не принадлежит задачам квазиполиномиального детерминированного времени. Однако существует большой разрыв между этим результатом аппроксимируемости и известными алгоритмами аппроксимации для этой задачи.

В случае невзвешенных, но ориентированных графов известные сильные результаты аппроксимируемости. Для любого  задача не может быть аппроксимирована в пределах , если только не P = NP, и, при сильных теоретических предположениях, задачу нельзя аппроксимировать в пределах . Можно использовать технику  для поиска пути логарифмической длины, если он существует, но эта техника даёт аппроксимационный коэффициент лишь .

Параметризованная сложность
Задача поиска самого длинного пути является , если параметризовать её по длине пути. Например, задача может быть решена за время, линейно зависящее от размера входного графа (но за экспоненциальное время по длине пути), с помощью алгоритма, делающего следующие шаги:
 Осуществляем поиск в глубину по графу. Пусть  — глубина результирующего дерева поиска вглубь.
 Используем пути от корня к листам поиска дерева вглубь в порядке, в котором они просматриваются при поиске, в отличие от путевой декомпозиции графа с путевой шириной .
 Используем динамическое программирование к этому разложению на пути для нахождения самого длинного пути за время , где  — число вершин графа.
Поскольку выходной путь имеет длину по меньшей мере , время работы также будет ограничено значением , где  — длина самого длинного пути. Используя цветовую кодировку, зависимость от длины пути может быть сведена к одиночно экспоненциальной. Похожая техника динамического программирования показывает, что задача нахождения самого длинного пути является также фиксированно-параметрически разрешимой по древесной ширине графа.

Для графов с ограниченной кликовой шириной задачу о самом длинном пути можно решить за полиномиальное время с помощью алгоритма динамического программирования. Однако степень полинома зависит от кликовой ширины графа, так что эти алгоритмы не являются фиксированно-параметрически разрешимыми. Задача нахождения самого длинного пути, параметризованная по ширине клик, является трудной для класса  , что говорит о том, что вряд ли существует фиксированно-параметрически разрешимый алгоритм.

Специальные случаи графов
Задачу о самом длинном пути  можно решить за полиномиальное время на дополнениях графов сравнимости. Её можно решить также за полиномиальное время на любом классе графов с ограниченной древесной шириной или ограниченной кликовой шириной, таком как дистанционно-наследуемые графы. Однако задача является NP-трудной, даже если ограничимся расщепляемыми графами, круговыми графами или планарными графами.

A top-level function, deflate , is provided to carry out "one-shot" compression between buffers and/or files. For finer control over the compression process, see the "OO Interface" section.
deflate expects at least two parameters, $input and $output .
The parameter, $input , is used to define the source of the uncompressed data.
If $input is a string that is delimited by the characters "<" and ">" deflate will assume that it is an input fileglob string. The input is the list of files that match the fileglob.
If $output is a scalar reference, the compressed data will be stored in $$output .
If $output is a string that is delimited by the characters "<" and ">" deflate will assume that it is an output fileglob string. The output is the list of files that match the fileglob.
Unless specified below, the optional parameters for deflate , OPTS , are the same as those used with the OO interface defined in the "Constructor Options" section below.
To read the contents of the file file1.txt and write the compressed data to the file file1.txt.1950 .
To read from an existing Perl filehandle, $input , and write the compressed data to a buffer, $buffer .
If the $output parameter is any other type, IO::Compress::Deflate ::new will return undef.
The behaviour of this option is dependent on the type of $output .
If $output is a buffer and Append is enabled, all compressed data will be append to the end if $output . Otherwise $output will be cleared before any data is written to it.
This option is used to compress input data and append it to an existing compressed data stream in $output . The end result is a single compressed data stream stored in $output .
This method takes an optional parameter, $flush_type , that controls how the flushing will be carried out. By default the $flush_type used is Z_FINISH . Other valid values for $flush_type are Z_NO_FLUSH , Z_SYNC_FLUSH , Z_FULL_FLUSH and Z_BLOCK . It is strongly recommended that you only set the flush_type parameter if you fully understand the implications of what it does - overuse of flush can seriously degrade the level of compression achieved. See the zlib documentation for details.
A number of symbolic constants are required by some methods in IO::Compress::Deflate . None are imported by default.

Liane Lippert carries fighting spirit into 2021 with Team DSM
By Kirsten Frattini 12 December 2020
'The other riders know my level now and they don't underestimate me anymore' says Team DSM all-rounder

Liane Lippert couldn't have started this year any better after winning the opening Women's WorldTour round at the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race and pulling on the prestigious series' leader's jersey. In an interview with Cyclingnews following the launch of her newly-named Team DSM, Lippert reminisced on a breakout year and looked ahead to next season where she hopes to bring more of her fighting spirit to the top-tier of women's racing.
"Australia was really great and totally different because we didn't start with the coronavirus, yet, at this time and so it was a totally different mind-set than the other races later in the year. We were going fully in for it and it was great to win my first WorldTour race. I didn't expect that," Lippert said.
Upon her return to Europe, the racing season resumed at the opening weekend of the Classics – Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Omloop van het Hageland – before coming to a screeching halt due to the COVID-19 coronavirus. She wouldn't have the opportunity to wear the Women's WorldTour leader's jersey again until the series resumed at Strade Bianche on August 1.

"When the lockdown came in Germany, we could still do our training and was really good because I could stay at home, get some energy and stay motivated about what was next, even if I didn't know what was next. I was able to make myself stronger and came out of lockdown stronger. I had a really good [revised] season, kept the level consistent the whole year, until the end, and I'm really happy about that," Lippert said.
Sixteenth place in the results don't adequately show her performance at Strade Bianche, where an untimely mechanical knocked her out of contention just when the racing really kicked off with 50km to go. Mavi Garcia (Ale) was off in a solo breakaway with a group of 11 select contenders in pursuit. Lippert managed to catch the remnants of the fragmented field, set her own pace and finish in 16th place, 6:27 behind the day's winner Annemiek van Vleuten (Mitchelton-Scott), but it was just enough to retain the series lead.
Included in her season successes were also a second overall at the Women's Tour Down Under, 10th at La Course, five top-10 finishes and 13th overall at the Giro Rosa, fifth in the road race at the World Championships, top 10s at Flèche Wallonne and Liège-Bastogne-Liège and second at Brabantse Pijl. She would end up losing the series lead, later won by Lizzie Deignan (Trek-Segafredo).
"I would call this a breakout year for me," she said. "I feel that other riders are noticing me and really looking at me, and ready to follow, whenever I move. The other riders know my level now and they don't underestimate me anymore. I can feel the difference in the bunch, and I had some good results, and was consistent all year which was special."
Even with the COVID-19 shutdown, Lippert said she doesn't have disappointments about this season but said that she's come out the other side of an uncertain year smarter, knowing more about herself as a rider and learning from her few mistakes. "There was no real big regret, it's good to learn from the small things, and nothing that I would change. I gave it all, all the time," she said.
Indeed Lippert has been noticed among the peloton, even before this breakout year, with Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM) telling Cyclingnews in a 2019 interview too watch out for the German rider in stage races and one-day races. Niewiadoma said that she recognised a 'fighting spirit' in Lippert.
"Yes, I have a fighting spirit and I never give up until the end," Lippert agreed. "I can really motivate myself and I need competition to be that good, and to push myself to the limit. I am also mentally strong, and so yes, having a fighting spirit is a good description of me."
Lippert will take that fighting spirit into next season as she looks to the Ardennes Classics and in her pursuit of being selected to the German team competing at the Tokyo Olympic Games - her two main goals of 2021.
"I'm really excited with the new team and we are aiming to be the best team in the world again. Personally, I want to be good at the Ardennes Classics, and these races suit me well. I also love uphill finishes and really hilly races. I don't know my plan but the hilly Classics fit me very well," Lippert said.
"I think that I'm one of the good cards to play for the [German] team and I'm confident for the Olympics Games. It's always a dream to go to the Olympics and I think that when I look at our German team that I am one of the strongest climbers, so it's a good option for me to go."

CECC confirms 2 more imported cases; two cases arrive in Taiwan from Indonesia and the Philippines
On April 10, the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) announced two new confirmed imported cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Taiwan. Those two new cases arrived in Taiwan from Indonesia (Case #1056) and the Philippines (Case #1057).
The CECC pointed out that Case #1056 is an over 20-year-old man from Indonesia. The Indonesian man traveled to Taiwan to work as a fisherman on March 26. He was tested for COVID-19 on April 8, before completing the quarantine period; infection with COVID-19 was laboratory-confirmed in the case on April 10. He didn't experience any symptoms when entering Taiwan.
Case #1057 is an over 20-year-old female migrant worker from the Philippines. The female migrant worker traveled to Taiwan for work on March 26. She didn't experience any symptoms upon arrival. She reported that she had experienced a mild cough briefly on April 6. She was tested for COVID-19 on April 8, before completing the quarantine period. Infection with COVID-19 was laboratory-confirmed in the case on April 10.
The CECC reported that a cumulative total of 195,367 cases related to COVID-19 have been reported in Taiwan among which COVID-19 has been ruled out in 193,174. Of these reported cases, infection with COVID-19 was laboratory-confirmed in 1056 cases. Of the 1056 confirmed cases, 940 are imported; 77 are indigenous; 36 are naval crew members aboard the Panshi fast combat support ship; 2 are infections on an aircraft; 1 case has unknown sources of infection; and 1 case (Case #530) has been removed (Case #530 is not assigned to any patients). Of the confirmed cases, there have been 10 deaths, and 1020 patients have been released from isolation, with the other 26 patients remaining hospitalized in isolation.

Best Office Spaces for a Tight Budget
Finding a house for your business can be the biggest piece of your overhead. A good location comes at a premium, not to mention all of the added costs of office machines, high-speed internet, and amenities that make your company a place where people want to work.
These are some of the reasons why many cash-strapped businesses are turning to coworking space. The shift to freelancing, working from home, and remote work is changing the office as most companies once knew it, and it's slashing overhead costs in the process.
Does your office space cost you a fortune? Here's why the coworking space is the best types of office space for rent to play to your budget's strengths without sacrificing on quality.
What Are Flexible Workspaces?
To understand the full definition and value of a flexible workspace, it helps to identify the lack of flexibility in a traditional office.
When you lease a standard office, you're facing huge costs in getting the space ready for your business. You typically sign a lengthy contract and pay for the same amount of space for the duration of that contract, regardless of how much you're actually using. You also have to supply all of your own furniture and decor, plus you're paying for utilities.
Now, imagine if these costs were replaced by a single month-to-month fee that's substantially lower than what you'd pay for a traditional office. That's a flexible coworking space, and it fully lives up to its name.
With a coworking space, you only pay for the office space you need. Your office comes pre-furnished, and you never see a separate bill for electricity, internet, or maintenance. Plus, having a predictable allowance for office space gives you better control over your budget because you know exactly where you have some leeway.
Non-Monetary Benefits to Consider
For many businesses, the cost-effectiveness alone is enough to make the switch. Budgets aside, flexible workspaces offer more than just a way to save money on overhead.
For starters, coworking spaces are communities comprised of other professionals that can help you grow your network, meet other business owners, and potentially turn money savings into money-making.
Typically, the office design itself is conducive to productivity, offering a blend of shared collaboration spaces and private offices alike to help people work how they work best.
Perhaps most notable, you can scale more quickly when you can add ready-made office space in an instant, and you never have to worry about expensive, long-term contracts preventing you from moving onward and upward with your business.
Coworking Spaces: More than a Passing Fad
It's estimated that half of the U.S. workforce will be either freelancers or remote workers by 2020. Given that this industry is one of the biggest driving forces behind the coworking space, it's clear that flexible workspaces aren't just a temporary fad.
In fact, more than 2,188 new coworking spaces worldwide opened in 2018 alone, and that trend is expected to continue. Office Evolution is continuing to open new flexible workspaces in cities across the country to ensure everyone has a better way to work. Find the Office Evolution location nearest you to take advantage of the benefits of flexible workspace today!
Written by: Office Evolution
Office Evolution has more than 70 locations open, 140 units sold in markets across the country and is poised for further growth as the demand for affordable and safe, workspace close-to-home continues to rise.
