How automation will drive the four-day week revolution
By Iouri Prokhorov published 13 January 22
Tech is key to creating the shorter working week
(Image credit: Image source: Shutterstock/Vasin Lee)
Not long ago, there was glamour in 'hustle culture'. In many industries, a 'go hard or go home' mindset was expected of employees who wanted to be successful. There was pride in being the first-in and last-out at the head office; in working harder, faster and stronger, every single day.
But then everything changed. Adopted by necessity during a crisis that kept people apart, remote working was meant to be a temporary solution to working during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, this supposed stopgap has been the beginning of a paradigm shift in the way we work. The white-collar business world realized it could function adequately - better even - with the technology we already had. All employees needed was a laptop and an internet connection.
This sea-change has proven to be the death knell for 'always-on' business culture. Exacerbated by the additional stressors and anxieties of a health crisis (illness, pressure to keep routines, national lockdowns, economic uncertainty and travel bans) organizations faced a very real problem of employee burnout. Work cultures that once rewarded willingness to break backs in and out of company hours began to be replaced by policies, initiatives and technologies that sought to build sustainable, equitable and humane working environments capable of weathering current and future disruption.
The need for remote working has tapered, but many organizations have continued to favor hybrid working approaches in order to continue to leverage the benefits of more productive, innovative, happier and healthier staff, not to mention access to a wider talent pool.
The four-day working week
Forget beer fridges and table football, a willingness to help staff achieve a better work-life balance has become the beacon of the progressive organization, and many are leaning on the latest technology to do so.
Right now, business leaders have a window of opportunity to rethink the status quo and rebuild working life in a way that benefits both individual wellbeing and business productivity. A disruptive concept that has been noncommittally floated for decades, the pandemic has catalyzed a resurgence of interest in the holy grail of work-life balance: the four-day working week. Shopify, Buffer, Kickstarter, Basecamp and Atom Bank are just some of the forward-thinking businesses that have embraced this significant reduction in mandatory hours, while countries including Iceland, Scotland, Spain, New Zealand and the United Arab Emirates have immersed citizens in similar trials.
"For creative work, you can't cheat. My (belief) is that there are 5 creative hours in everyone's day," Tobias Lutke, CEO of Shopify tweeted. Having founded an e-commerce platform now valued at nearly $50 billion, Lutke added that the only time he's worked more than 40 hours a week was when he had a "burning desire" to do so: "I need 8ish hours of sleep a night. Same with everybody else, whether we admit it or not."
As the generation's influential business leaders take an active stance on the benefits of a more equal work-life balance, organizations across all industries will face pressure to act in kind or risk losing both relevance and appeal. Bold statements are easy to make, of course, but mainstream eagerness to follow suit is tethered by the practical question of how such a reduction in hours can be achieved without affecting bottom lines or causing staff shortages.
The answer lies in technology
As is so often the case today, the answer lies in investing in the right technology. Automation technologies can now make reduced hours feasible without affecting productivity by handling repetitive and menial tasks, such as appointment scheduling, email handling, payroll, shipping and inventory management. Many aspects of work are already becoming reliant on automation technologies, such as customer service, where chatbots are now routinely used to meet customers' expectations for an immediate response.
The prospect of gaining an extra day a week of personal time will have many employees rubbing their hands (or breathing a sigh of relief) in anticipation. But no two jobs are the same, and the requirements of certain roles may be better placed to make the transition than others, at least in the short term.
Right now, the admin-heavy task lists managed by receptionists (62 percent), legal secretaries (62 percent) and sales administrators (61 percent) make them primed for partial automation, according to research by Helastel, and therefore most readily transferable to reductions in mandatory working hours by management.
However, smarter, tech-driven working practices have the potential to alleviate burdensome tasks from professional, associate professional and technical roles, including finance officers, HR & Relations, legal professionals, journalists, IT architects and designers, business analysts, among many more. The technology would enable workers to adjust their focus from rote tasks to those requiring creativity, communication, leadership and problem-solving.
Moving to the mainstream
At present, the uptake of automation technology in business is piecemeal. But research predicts that the technology will be the driving force of modern digital organizations as technologies such as robotic process automation (RPA) and low or no code platforms become more advanced and widely adopted. Gartner forecasts the automation technology market to expand by nearly 24 percent from 2020, hitting a worth of nearly $600 billion by 2022. McKinsey estimates that around half of all existing work activities could be automated in the next few decades as the technology becomes mainstream.
And while once automation was a word associated with job displacement, perceptions are changing as exposure to the technology increasingly yields its practical benefits. A study by Salesforce revealed that 89 percent of automation users are more satisfied with their jobs as a result of using the technology, as time is unlocked to focus on more meaningful work. One in ten (91 percent) said automation tools provide them a better work-life balance.
A seismic shift has happened in the last two years, but the plates have yet to settle. The future of work is about flexibility, meaning and innovation. By embracing automation technology - not to displace workers but to augment them - organizations can become flag bearers, and partnering with technology specialists is the most effective first step on that journey.
Forget the hustle. Today, the goal is content and productive employees that have the breathing room to do their best.
Here are the best online collaboration tools available today

When Asked if Trump Was Concerned with Spending Taxpayer Money at Mar-a-Lago, Spicer Gave an Odd Response
Wednesday, March 29, 2017 13:01
White House press secretary Sean Spicer was asked during Wednesday's briefing whether or not President Trump was concerned about the rising costs associated with his regular trips to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
Fox 5 DC's Ronica Cleary asked if Trump has "any concerns about the push-back" about those costs and criticisms associated with golfing so much.
"No, he feels great," Spicer said.
Spicer added that the criticism did not play into the presidents decision to remain in Washington, D.C. last weekend and indicated that Trump plans to remain in town this upcoming weekend.
Since his Inauguration nine weeks ago, Trump has spent five weekends at Mar-a-Lago. Many have chided the president for traveling to play golf so much when he was very critical of Obama for doing the exact same thing during his eight years as president.
Trump and his team were also very vocal during the election when they raised the issue of not having time to golf because there was too much work to get done.
In lieu of Trump making weekends of the golf course a habit, Democratic lawmakers successfully queried the Government Accountability Office to study the costs, as well as the security and handling of classified information associated with Trump's stays in Palm Beach.
If the Trump administration had a major accomplishment to show, much of the criticism could be quelled.
Nearly 70 days in, this administration still does not have anything substantial to boast about.

Fylde Council has put in a funding bid for the restoration of the grade two-listed St Annes Pier, as part of the Government's wider Coastal Revival Fund.
The bid put forward by St Annes Enterprise Partnership, along with the St Annes Pier Company and supported by the council, will support long-term maintenance of the pier's structure, and reinstatement of one of the historic pavilions.
There will also be structural repairs and maintenance to existing buildings on the pier, which dates to 1885, and also exploring the feasibility of providing a museum of local history at the site. The council is also looking to provide public realm and paving enhancements to the front of the pier.
It is estimated renewing steel pier supports will cost £37,000 over the next year, and a further £60,000 over the coming years.
The bid has also been backed by Lytham St Annes Civic Society and Blackpool Council, which said: "A coastline that boasts four attractive and active pleasure piers can expect to sustain the heritage offer for visitors who will wish to visit both town's piers".
In total, the council has bid for £48,100 of funding, which would be part of a larger pot including other council money and funding from the Pier Company to help restore the structure.
The Pier Company has agreed to put in a package of £58,400, bringing the total restoration and improvement cost up to £106,500 in the next 12 months.
Fylde Council is set to agree to administer the grant funding, should it be successful, at a meeting next week.
The Government's Coastal Revival Fund, announced in May this year, provides a £1m pot for coastal community projects.
As a kid I remember the theatre and winter gardens. Very happy memories coming onnthe bus from Glasgow. Would be wonderful to see a new pavilion I still visit once a year. I ran major advertising agencies for over 30 years Maybe I could help ?


Depression is an ironic disease, you need people to help you through and you always think there's no one to help you and maybe that's true. Ok, that devolved into a more confusing rant than I started with.
I've been blogging my depression through posts and poems over the last two years. Most of what I was going through at any moment of time can be seen in those posts. Here I'd just like to mention people's responses and reactions to me. Most of them have either turned a blind eye, the few who haven't have blamed me or withdrawn. I don't honestly blame them. I know how difficult it is to deal with someone with depression, almost as difficult as it is for the person to deal with his/her depression itself. For all those struggling to handle a depressive, please know that your efforts are not in vain. It's a constant struggle and often you'll find things going in the opposite direction, but if you can, hold on. It's one of the most noble things you can do, even if you might not get the obligatory "thanks" every time. If you can't, you're not to blame either, it isn't easy, and it isn't for everyone. Not a very enlightening post, but I thought carers for depressives deserve a mention here as well. Hope there's someone looking out for you out there!

Search For Lives
Oxygen on Exoplanets May Not Mean Alien Life
By Nola Taylor Redd 2015-10-02T11:59:41Z
An artist's impression of the Neptune-size planet HAT-P-11b as it crosses in front of its star. Astronomers found water in the atmosphere of the exoplanet. Similar studies may reveal oxygen in the air of other worlds.

Although scientists have long considered oxygen a sign that life exists on an alien planet, new research suggests the element could be produced without it.
Oxygen may function as a sign of life on Earth, but that's not necessarily the case for planets around other stars. The new research shows that the interaction of titanium oxide with water could produce oxygen in the atmosphere of an exoplanet without the involvement of living organisms.
"Although oxygen is still one of the possible biomarkers, it becomes necessary to look for new biomarkers besides oxygen," Norio Narita, of the National Institutes of Natural Science in Japan, said in a statement. Narita studied the role of titanium oxide, or titania, in the formation of oxygen in the atmosphere of a planet. [10 Exoplanets That Could Host Alien Life]
Oxygen does not equal life
In recent years, scientists have begun using instruments such as NASA's Hubble Space Telescope to investigate the atmosphere of planets beyond the solar system. The upcoming launch of the James Webb Space Telescope will enable even further study of these worlds. In addition to characterizing the air on these worlds, scientists also hope to one day find evidence of life.
On Earth, plants release oxygen into the air through photosynthesis. If a planet beyond the solar system was found to contain oxygen in its atmosphere, scientists reasoned, that oxygen would have formed as a byproduct of life.
Narita and his team decided to study the role of stellar radiation around stars similar to the sun. They found that, if enough of the mineral titania lay on the surface of a planet, it could dissolve in liquid water, producing oxygen in the atmosphere.
Titania is a naturally occurring substance present in meteorites and on Earth's moon. It forms as dust outflows around evolving low- and medium-mass stars, and through supernovae, and is thought to be common in exoplanet systems. The amount of titania on the surface of a planet or moon would vary based on the number of impacts each body received.
According to the research, an Earth-like planet orbiting a sunlike star would need only enough titania to cover about 0.05 percent of the planet's surface to create the same amount of oxygen as in Earth's atmosphere. Planets that had oceans and orbited dimmer stars would need to have only about 3 percent of the surface covered with titania for similar results.
For comparison, the researchers estimated that the area with active titania on the surface of the Earth is much less than 97 square miles (250 square kilometers), or about 0.0000005 percent of the surface.
The research was published online in September in the journal Scientific Reports.

Hi all! Sickboy is still alive!
And by the way: Does the BOB clan still exist?
Glad to know you are well...or sick...whatever.
Good luck back on the server. VMax and IceSkater will be able to get you up and running again.
I think a few of the guys still play, but most have moved on to other things. If I am able to return, then I'll be wearing my tags...and probably be dying frequently, each death more glorious than the last.
It's been some time since I last saw that name active! Glad that you got my message.
So the server is on V1.21, and you will also need to run the no-cd crack. All that you need to do is check out this page: https://www.helloclan.eu/pages/bfv-downloads/ and follow points 2 & 3. The links and a guide are both on there to assist you.
The server is on a new IP, it is 158.69.118.94 the port 15567 has stayed the same.

Cloud9 launches documentation site to support growing Node.js community
Cloud9, a company that makes a Web-based IDE, has launched a new documentation …
Ryan Paul - Jan 23, 2012 8:30 pm UTC
JavaScript has come a long way since its inception in the 1990s. The odd language, which was once confined to simplistic tasks like form validation, has expanded beyond the browser and now powers all kinds of applications from mobile devices to server rooms.
The evolution of the language standard and the introduction of heavily optimized implementations have made JavaScript a respectable choice for building serious applications. Although the language is still burdened by some idiosyncrasies, its intrinsic flexibility is proving to be valuable.
One of the major technologies that has driven adoption of JavaScript on servers is Node.js, an open source software framework for building scalable applications with JavaScript. Its efficient, event-driven approach to I/O makes it well-suited for building real-time Web applications. Node.js takes advantage of JavaScript's simplicity and expressiveness to make development faster and more productive.
Key Node.js users and contributors from a diverse assortment of companies ranging from Mozilla to Walmart are congregating in San Francisco this week for the Node Summit, a conference focused on the Node.js framework. Among the many companies that will have a presence at the event is Cloud9, the makers of a Web-based integrated development environment (IDE) built with a Node.js backend. Cloud9 makes its software available as a hosted service and also distributes it as open source software under the GNU General Public License.
We spoke with Cloud9 CEO Ruben Daniels about Node.js and some announcements that Cloud9 is making this week concurrently with Node Summit. Cloud9 is a particularly intriguing Node.js success story because the company uses Node.js itself, actively contributes back to the Node.js community, and offers a product that is tailored to benefit other Node.js adopters. Cloud9's business interests are heavily aligned with the long-term success of Node.js.
Cloud9 on Node.js
We discussed the evolution of the JavaScript programming language, the advantages of server-side JavaScript development, and the benefits of Node.js. I started by asking Daniels if improvements to the standard have made JavaScript a competitive language for large-scale development. He said that it's competitive today and is advancing in a direction that will continue to improve its efficacy for building server-side software.
"JavaScript marries the concepts of a functional and imperative language in a way that makes it very easy for people to start using it," he said. "Already, it is a real competitor. The biggest hurdle right now is going from a popular language for building client-side apps to building server-side enterprise applications. The way the language is evolving is supporting that."
One area where he sees the need for improvement in JavaScript is the lack of a native module system. Node.js uses the CommonJS module system, but it would be advantageous to have one that is inherent to the language and consistent between various JavaScript runtimes.
Daniels characterizes the ability for developers to reuse existing code and skills between the client and the server as a major advantage of using Node.js to build web applications. When I asked if the differences between JavaScript engines and the lack of certain features on the browser side posed challenges for reusability, he explained that portable JavaScript libraries help insulate developers from those kinds of issues. In some cases, he said, it's simply a matter of being mindful when you write code about where you else you might want to use it.
We also talked about the applicability of Node.js. The framework really shines for building scalable real-time applications, but Daniels says that it can be used for much more than that.
"The use case is much broader than just the real-time Web," Daniels told Ars. "Almost every Web application has a services based architecture. The moment you have that, Node.js is suited for it."
Cloud9 recently hired Tim Caswell, Bert Belder and Ben Noordhuis, three prominent developers from the Node.js community. One of the ways in which Cloud9 is putting their expertise to use is by launching a pair of websites that can serve as informational resources for the broader Node.js community.
One of those sites, which is called Nodebits, is a blog that publishes sample code, discusses best practices, and highlights ways that developers can get more out of Node.js. The other site, which is called Nodemanual, aims to offer comprehensive reference documentation and introductory tutorials. As the domain name suggests, the latter will become the official location of the Node.js manual.
The Nodemanual.org website
"We have completely reworked many different sources of documentation into a concise and consistent website that offers a Node.js and Javascript reference guide and manual, based on work from Joyent and Mozilla," Daniels said in a statement. "Like any good community docs, Nodemanual.org is fully open. We encourage everyone in the Node community help us continue to improve the site, through your own contributions. Fork nodemanual on GitHub and get started on helping us build a better Node.js."
In our interview, Daniels explained the motivation behind Cloud9's effort to improve Node.js documentation. He saw documentation as a gap that needed to be filled: producing documentation is not a task that people in the Node.js community like to do, but it benefits all users and is necessary for advancing Node.js adoption. "Any winner in the development space needs great documentation," Daniels told us.
The Cloud9 IDE has seen significant growth, driven in part by its efficacy for developing Node.js applications. Daniels said that the site's audience grew from zero users to 85,000 during the past year. The IDE, which the user runs entirely within a browser, is impressively functional. Daniels is proud of its performance and responsiveness.
Cloud9 is enthusiastic about the possibilities that can be unlocked by moving development into the cloud. The idea of developers writing and deploying server-side JavaScript applications entirely from a Web browser would have seemed far fetched only a few years ago. Cloud9 has shown that it is not just possible, but practical.

Q: UWP ContentDialog set Content dimension to the app window size I have a ContentDialog with a WebView inside a Grid:
<ContentDialog
x:Class="Name of Class"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
mc:Ignorable="d"
FullSizeDesired="True"
Visibility="{x:Bind Vm.IsBrowserVisible, Converter={StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityConverter}, Mode=OneWay}"
Title="{x:Bind Vm.Title}"
PrimaryButtonText=""
SecondaryButtonText="{x:Bind Vm.CancelButtonLabel}"
SecondaryButtonCommand="{x:Bind Vm.SecondaryButtonCommand, Mode=OneWay}">

<Grid>
    <WebView x:Name="SamlWebView"
             Visibility="{x:Bind Vm.IsBrowserVisible, Converter={StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityConverter}, Mode=OneWay}"
             HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
             VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
             ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollMode="Enabled"
             ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"/>
</Grid>

What I would like is, that the ContentDialog expands all the way to the current app windows size.
I currently get the corrent hight, however, the width won't expand to the parent window borders:

Any idea what I have to change?
I have overriden the ContentDialogMaxWidth to 2000 for testing puroses, but It didn't changed anything.
If I manually set the width of the Grid to say 1500 it works but i dont want to hardcode it; it should deal correctly if i resize the window.
thanks.

A:
UWP ContentDialog set Content dimension to the app window size

The problem is that you have not specified the  ContentDialogMinWidth for contentdialog, so it will render as default  <x:Double x:Key="ContentDialogMinWidth">320</x:Double>. You could override the default one like the following to make it display the full webview content.
<Application.Resources>
    <ResourceDictionary>
        <x:Double x:Key="ContentDialogMinWidth">1500</x:Double>
        <x:Double x:Key="ContentDialogMaxWidth">2000</x:Double>
        <x:Double x:Key="ContentDialogMinHeight">800</x:Double>
        <x:Double x:Key="ContentDialogMaxHeight">2000</x:Double>
    </ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>

"The Long Now" is a place for the enduring present, a space in which time itself can unfold, where the sense of time can take uncharted paths and get lost. A time bubble, separated, for an unending moment, from the clocked pace of the metropolis.
Thomas Köner's multimedia performance EXPANDING ILLUMINANCE will be premiered at Gaité Lyrique, as part of the Rencontres International Festival in Paris. A hypnotic journey between two visions of the future and two utopias, from footage of the monumental "Metropolis" (Fritz Lang 1927) and the 1980's cult movie "Tron" (S. Lisberger 1982).
"This 45 minute piece was recorded live at Evreux Cathedral, Normandy, France in June 2014. The characteristic Köner drones perfectly match with Winderen's processed environmental sound recordings." (ambientblog).
For this recording, as well as for our upcoming concerts, the site is chosen with great care, as it becomes a element of the piece, like a third musician. Our idea is to not bring field recordings into the music hall, but instead to bring music into the field and location, and to allow the exposure and pollination and create a meta-musical dialogue with the given environment!

Q: Conflicts: Spring MVC with Hibernate Validator - Submit/Binding action I have two entities, they are: Person and Address, relation one to one. The source code about JPA/Hibernate has been removed to keep the things simple.
My problem is with Hibernate Validator.
I have the following for the Person class:
@Valid
@NotNull(message="{person.address.null}", groups={AddressCheck.class})
public Address getAddress() {
    return address;
}

and for Address:
@NotNull(message="{field.null}", groups=AddressCheck.class)
public Person getPerson() {
    return person;
}

Note:
About JUnit, all works fine, if some dependency is null the respective error is created.
The problem is when Hibernate Validator is integrated with Spring MVC, it through the binding approach
About the view code, below the JSP fragment for the Address class
<form:form modelAttribute="person"  method="post" >
...
<fieldset>
    <legend><spring:message code="address.form.legend"/></legend>

        <form:hidden path="address.id"/>

            <spring:message code="address.form.street"/>
            <form:input path="address.street" size="40"/>
            <form:errors path="address.street" cssClass="error"/>

            <spring:message code="address.form.number"/>
            <form:input path="address.number" size="40"/>
            <form:errors path="address.number" cssClass="error"/>

</fieldset>

To create the form view, to let the JSP render both objects, I have the following:
@RequestMapping(value="/register.htm", method=RequestMethod.GET)
public String createRegisterForm(Model model){
    logger.info("createRegisterForm GET");
    Person person = new Person();
    Address address = new Address();
    address.setId("5");//just to play/test

    person.setAddress(address);
    address.setPerson(person);

    model.addAttribute("person", person);
    return "jsp/person/registerForm";
}

Observe how the two setters are called.
When I do the submit the following code must be executed
@RequestMapping(value="/register.htm", method=RequestMethod.POST)
public String registerPerson( @Validated(PersonRegistrationOrdered.class) Person person,
                              BindingResult result,
                              Model model){
    logger.info("registerPerson POST");
    logger.info("{}", person.toString());
    logger.info("{}", person.getAddress().toString());

    if(result.hasErrors()){
        logger.error("There are errors!!!!");
        model.addAttribute("person", person);

        for(ObjectError objectError : result.getAllErrors()){
            logger.error("Error {}", objectError);
        }

        return "jsp/person/registerForm";
    }
    logger.info("All fine!!!!");
    return "jsp/manolo";
}

Sadly the console shows an error about the Person object from the Address class is null, even when in the createRegisterForm it has been related address.setPerson(person);
My unique way to around this is disabling the validation
//@NotNull(message="{field.null}", groups=AddressCheck.class)
public Person getPerson() {
    return person;
}

First Question: how I can avoid this without disabling the @NotNull validation?
Even more, if I want protect the id for the Address class:
@InitBinder
public void initBinder(WebDataBinder binder) {
    ...
    binder.setDisallowedFields("address.id");
}

The HTML code generated from the JSP file is
<fieldset>
    <legend>Address:</legend>

        <input id="address.id" name="address.id" type="hidden" value="5"/>

            Street:
            <input id="address.street" name="address.street" type="text" value="" size="40"/>

            Number:
            <input id="address.number" name="address.number" type="text" value="" size="40"/>

</fieldset>

But again when I do the submit I get
- ValidationMessages found.
- org.hibernate.validator.ValidationMessages found.
- registerPerson POST
- Person [id=5, firstName=Manuel, lastName=Jordan, alive=true, dateBirth=Wed Dec 12 00:00:00 PET 2012, dateRetirement=null, dateDeath=null, age=15, weight=34.0, salary=1500]
- Address [id=null, street=La blanquita, number=155]
- There are errors!!!!
- Error Field error in object 'person' on field 'address.id': rejected value [null]; codes [NotNull.person.address.id,NotNull.address.id,NotNull.id,NotNull.java.lang.String,NotNull]; arguments [org.springframework.context.support.DefaultMessageSourceResolvable: codes [person.address.id,address.id]; arguments []; default message [address.id]]; default message [The field must be not empty]

If I am creating a new Person and using perhaps a special class giving a potential id (5 for example address.setId("5"); in this case) for the Address's id it is going to be a problem.
Second Question: how I can turn around this problem?

A: The problem is that you are creating your model in the method with GET. Which means as soon as the page is rendered the model object is gone. When the POST comes in a new empty Person is created and due to automatic path expansion also an Address but this will not have the relationship correctly applied.
There are 2 ways to fix this.

*

*Create a method annotated with @ModelAttribute which constructs the model needed to use for binding.

*Added @SessionAttributes to store the Person in the session in between requests.

Another thing to make either option work is next to @Validated you will need to add @ModelAttribute to your method Person method argument.
Method with @ModelAttribute
First add the method which creates the model object. For this create a method and annotate it with @ModelAttribute and optionally give it a name of the model object person. (Which would also be the default, as that is to use the classname with a lowercase first letter).
@ModelAttribute("person")
public Person prepareModel() {
    Person person = new Person();
    Address address = new Address();
    address.setId("5");//just to play/test

    person.setAddress(address);
    address.setPerson(person);
    return person;
}

Next modify your GET and POST methods. First off all for both methods you can remove the Model as a method argument as that isn't needed anymore. The Person is already added to the model.
@RequestMapping(value="/register.htm", method=RequestMethod.GET)
public String createRegisterForm(){
    logger.info("createRegisterForm GET");
    return "jsp/person/registerForm";
}

And for the POST add @ModelAttribute and you don't need to
@RequestMapping(value="/register.htm", method=RequestMethod.POST)
public String registerPerson( @Validated(PersonRegistrationOrdered.class) @ModelAttribute Person person,
                              BindingResult result){
    logger.info("registerPerson POST");
    logger.info("{}", person.toString());
    logger.info("{}", person.getAddress().toString());

    if(result.hasErrors()){
        logger.error("There are errors!!!!");

        for(ObjectError objectError : result.getAllErrors()){
            logger.error("Error {}", objectError);
        }

        return "jsp/person/registerForm";
    }
    logger.info("All fine!!!!");
    return "jsp/manolo";
}

Using @SessionAttributes
Using @SessionAttributes you can identify which objects to store, temporary, in the HttpSession. Add this annotation to your controller classes and in your POST method add SessionStatus as an argument and remove the Model as that will already be populated.
@Controller
@SessionAttributes(Person.class)
public class RegisterController {

    @RequestMapping(value="/register.htm", method=RequestMethod.POST)
    public String registerPerson( @Validated(PersonRegistrationOrdered.class) @ModelAttribute Person person,
                                  BindingResult result, SessionStatus status){
        logger.info("registerPerson POST");
        logger.info("{}", person.toString());
        logger.info("{}", person.getAddress().toString());

        if(result.hasErrors()){
            logger.error("There are errors!!!!");

            for(ObjectError objectError : result.getAllErrors()){
                logger.error("Error {}", objectError);
            }

            return "jsp/person/registerForm";
        }
        logger.info("All fine!!!!");
        status.setComplete();
        return "jsp/manolo";
    }

}

You need to call the setComplete() method on the SessionStatus so that the session gets cleaned of obsolete model objects.

Amen…..Blessings to the DeBoer family!!!
Blessings to you as well – and a very Merry Christmas!
Beautifully said! Merry Christmas to your family!
Thanks, Cheryl – and Merry Christmas to you as well!
Cindy! This was wonderful. I really enjoyed your story. My hat goes off to you and your family. God is Good All the Time.
Cindy, as always, your words and thoughts are inspirational. Your feelings are translated to our hearts as we recognize their truth and meaning. I can relate to things from my past, and the joy when we can turn adversity into Blessing. Thank you. Merry Christmas.
Hello Julie! Sometimes finding that joy is more work and less a natural "feeling", right? But even if we have to dig deep, it is still there. I know you know that reality of digging deep. May you truly EXPERIENCE the joy of Jesus this Christmas, my friend!
My heart is warmed, my eyes are tear-filled, and my soul is encouraged. Love and a big hug to you, Cindy.
I can almost feel that hug, Sarah! Thank-you! Merry Christmas!
Love you, Wendy! Merry Christmas, Most Wordy One!
Quiet, slow, meditation, reflection – why oh why aren't these words heard more during the Christmas season??? Yes, Leisa, I so agree with you – pursuing more of those four words we'll probably experience a more meaningful Christmas!
Cal and I have just returned from a 4 month short term missions in Kenya. We stepped off the plane into the buzz of holiday glitz. Both of us could hardly take it. We just couldn't get caught up in the bling and materialism. Granted we had purchased all our Christmas gifts in Kijabe, but as our kids unwrapped the hand-carved nativity set that our new friend had made in his little, little shop, we felt like – now it is Christmas.
This Christmas was slower, calmer, and brighter because of our focus on Jesus.
Thank you for your blog, I enjoy reading them all.
Thanks so much, Char! It absolutely warmed my heart to see your name pop up in my inbox – the two of you mean SO much to me and Paul! What a wonderful opportunity to spend four months in Kenya! I have no doubt the experience changed you in such profound ways, it's probably difficult to put words to it. And then to step back into "this other world" during the Christmas season had to be a shock to your system. We often referred to our life overseas as spending time in Narnia. That when we returned to the "real" world, everyone just looked at us slant eyed and in disbelief. They looked at us as if we were talking about Nyads and Dryads and Fauns and a White Witch. It is so incredibly difficult to reconcile the two worlds, isn't it? We have been back 7 years now, and I still find my system in a bit of shock most days. Maybe God wants it that way…. Anyway, blessings to you and the family! Say "hello" to all of them from the DeBoers!!!


Stop being a miser – and you will never be miserable!
Have you ever wondered why when we are created so 'able', let us say arguably by the creator, do we end up becoming so 'miserable'?
The answer lies in the word 'miserable'. In one sense of the word, 'miserable' means someone who has great wealth but leads a despicable, wretched existence in trying to be stingy with spending it. The wealth that we truly have is this Life, the ability to love and to be loved, and through living intelligently, the ability to be happy. When we don't recognize this great wealth that we have, and keep pining over what we don't have, we live in misery. To become 'able'__in fact, recognize and be that which we already are__we must stop being miserly. We must be generous with our love for all that is part of creation. And through loving Life, unconditionally, we discover abundant, limitless, inner joy!
So stop being a miser. Let go of all you have! And all that holds you back. See how able then you are to celebrate Life's boundless abundance!

In a football world that is dominated by kit and equipment manufacturers such as Nike, Adidas, Puma and Umbro, new companies are making a name for themselves as the official kit providers for national teams and clubs all over the world. Over time we have seen the fall of iconic names such as Diadora, Lotto, Le coq sportif and Kappa for example, which are still around but not nearly in the same capacity as the 1990's and early 2000's and the rise of new names such as Macron and recently Warrior which are now New Balance.
But what about the brands we see every once in a blue? What about those 'small' companies we kind of recognize when we watch a low tier Italian club match or an Asian football tournament?
Here are 5 football brands which are quite bigger than most think, 3 are based in Italy, one is from Spain and the other from Denmark.
Italian company Legea was formed in 1990 in the metro Naples town of Pompei. Since its start the brand that has been already re-branded once have amassed an impressive amount of professional sides, even becoming the manufacturer of the North Korean national football team in 2010. Currently the Italian manufacturer holds kit deals with 4 national squads which include the Bahrain and Palestine Olympic outfits and the Kosovo and Montenegro national teams. As far as club football is concerned Legea supplies kits to over 100 teams, with the most notable in its roster being Russian Premier League side FC Torpedo Moscow, formally two Ukrainian top tier clubs in Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk and Karpaty Lviv and storied Bulgarian side CSKA Sofia.
Legea's neighbors in a town called Scafati which borders Pompei, Givova opened its doors in 2008. Since then the young company has also managed to sign up a decent list of clubs and one national team. Perhaps Givova's only national team Malta is not a European powerhouse, but sponsoring a national side in just its second year (since 2010) is still pretty impressive. With club football Givova manufactures the kits for just over 50 clubs including Serie A side Chievo Verona and now Serie B club Catania.
Probably the second most popular on our list is Parma based company Errea. Formed in 1988 the Italian manufacturer has had its eye on various sports and has never really made a big mark on football. That said, Errea managed a contract with on the rise national team of Iceland, which performed remarkably coming just short of qualifying to the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. The company also is the manufacturers of some impressive club names such as English sides Blackpool and Norwich City, French Ligue 1 club Nantes, Dutch Eredivisie side ADO Den Haag and of course its hometown team Serie A club Parma.
Unlike the Italian manufacturers, Spanish companies have never been very predominant in the world of football. Joma however, has been around much longer than the three Italian companies mentioned above, having been formed in 1965 in the Province of Toledo. Currently the somewhat known football kit manufacturers is the official kit provider to 9 official FIFA national teams including Honduras, Nicaragua, Trinidad & Tobago, Kenya, Uzbekistan, Bangladesh and most impressively European sides Bulgaria and starting in May of this year Romania. Honduras was however the team that provided Joma with its biggest exposure in recent years having qualified and participated in the 2014 FIFA World Cup this past summer. As far as club football goes Joma's biggest name partners are probably La Liga sides Gatafe ad Granada, although it seems that at least one of those won't be playing in the top tier next season. But what they lack in big-name clubs, Joma compensates in numbers. Dressing clubs on 5 continents, the Spanish manufacturers has their logo on the kits of 202 clubs worldwide; that includes an impressive 127 teams in Europe alone.
Danish company Hummel is perhaps the more recognized in this bunch having made a name for itself on the success of the Danish national football team in the 1992 Euros in Sweden. The oldest manufacturer on our list, the now Denamrk based sportswear company was actually established in Germany in the early 1920's. Its most distinguishing features are the downward arrows that are a design detail on every kit they manufacture. Those arrows symbolize a bumble-bee's stinger, the meaning of the name 'hummel' in German. Although the company has recently lost its stronghold on the manufacturing of Denmark's national team kit to power-house Adidas, Hummel currently sponsors two national team in Afghanistan and Lithuania. In club football the list of names wearing Hummel kits is quite impressive with the comapany providing the uniforms for such clubs as German outfits St.Pauli and Karlsruher SC, French Ligue 1 club Stade de Reims, Dutch Eredivisie clubs Go Ahead Eagles and FC Utrecht, three top tier Portuguese sides in Estoril Praia, C.D. Nacional and Vitória Setúbal and Spanish La Liga side Elche.

Nowadays storytelling provides a competitive edge, especially in a saturated market.
Whether you're writing an article to share your point of view about an issue you're passionate about or using visuals to create an emotional connection with your target audience, storytelling can help set your brand apart from the competition.
For some game-changing branding advice, Black Enterprise caught up with Eric Thomas, 28, and Marcus Burrell, 29, senior partners of Saga, a marketing-driven agency focused on storytelling. The Detroit-based duo has used storytelling to strengthen the brands of quite a few heavy hitters. They were also recently featured on Crain's Twenty in Their 20's list in Detroit, which celebrates area professionals that stand out in business, law, real estate, civic life, or culture.
Black Enterprise.com:Â The power of digital tools and social media have empowered businesses to use storytelling as a way to reach their target audiences. From your experience, what are some of the do's and don'ts of social storytelling?
Eric: Be you. Be yourself. I think people forget the purpose of social media. Like, when you're not representing your company or brand on social media, you're on Facebook, Snapchat, [and] Instagram just being you. [You're] checking out what your friends are doing, looking at celebrity lifestyles, and staying up on what's happening around the world. I mean, you don't go on those sites to be sold anything. Remember, people want to connect with people, not companies. Find a way to gradually share your story online in the most genuine voice possible.
Social media has also helped individuals design the careers they want. Can you share three tips on how individuals can use content to build a strong powerful brand?
Marcus: I think a great example is my business partner, Eric Thomas. Now he may act humble on the outside, but the brother knows how to engage online. He spends his time on Facebook and LinkedIn mostly taking into account the type of people he wants to engage. For him, as Saga senior partner, we know this is where decision makers and industry leaders hang out. Next, he's 100% himself, 24/7. He doesn't hold back and he's willing to take stances. He posts thoughts and ideas that align with his beliefs dozens of times per day. Lastly, he blogs almost every week.
Consistency is key here, too, as you're not sure which blog post will reach the most people. But, he learned to just consistently post valuable information and to be willing to post strong, opinionated pieces when current events call for it. He normally posts about branding and marketing, but most recently, he made a very tasteful post titled Why I Hate Detroit, which garnered over 110,000 views on LinkedIn and brought him (and our company) tons of media attention.
Eric: Hahaha. Yeah. Be you. Don't be afraid to stand up for what you believe in. But keep in mind, you're a grown up, so avoid things that are too immature. And just be consistent. Period.

Apex NC real estate, a suburb of Raleigh and located in Wake County, is home to approximately 35,000 residents and is a small town of about 11 square miles.
More recently, Apex real estate and Apex homes for sale have been in heightened demand because of nearby Research Triangle Park. In spite of the growth, Apex has accomplished the goal of maintaining its charming small-town character and attracting newcomers to the variety of options for Apex NC homes.
One of the first towns to develop near the state capital of Raleigh during a period of time when railroads crossed through Wake County, Apex is one of North Carolina's most well-preserved, turn-of-the-century railroad towns with homes dating from 1870 to 1940 and with commercial buildings that have been stunningly preserved. The historic town continues to attract newcomers seeking a smaller community, distinguished from real estate in the larger communities of Raleigh, Chapel Hill, and Durham.
The downtown district reflects the town's rich historical beginnings. One outstanding feature of downtown is the landmark 1914 Apex Union Depot, restored and currently providing office space for the Visitor's Center and the Chamber of Commerce. On the National Register of Historic Places, the Depot is a favorite spot for history buffs. They enjoy the ticket windows of the stationmaster's office, the old switchmen's lanterns, the double fireplace, and the rich woodwork that reflects life of yesteryear.
Transportation has always played a key role in the life of the town. Good transportation continues to be vital to serve the neighborhoods since surrounding areas provide most employment. NC Highway 55 goes through the center of town, and US-64 and US-1 are both nearby freeways. Interstate 540 will eventually connect to the southern part of town.
Named from the town motto The Peak of Good Living, the Apex Peakway began as a means to relieve traffic downtown and to provide a bypass from one side of town to the other. Although started, it is not yet a loop road orbiting downtown.
Newcomers continue to appreciate the heritage and camaraderie deeply woven into the tapestry of this hometown America community.

This system is an alternative to wearing metal braces. Known as invisible orthodontics, this type of treatment offers you the choice of wearing a clear removable appliance while straightening and aligning your teeth. We have also been able to align top and bottom jaws with this appliance. The treatment involves a series of clear aligners; each aligner is worn for 2 weeks and gently moves your teeth into the desired position.
This is often a favourable option for adults who have professional careers and don't feel comfortable wearing unsightly 'train track' braces for months on end. The technology behind invisible orthodontics is highly advanced and often gives patients a much shorter treatment time, depending on their individual cases. Most patients are treated in 12 months.
With removable devices you can also take them out to eat or for special occasions, so they fit around your lifestyle.

Daniel Farke Signs New Norwich City Deal Extending Contract Until 2022
Richie Boon 13 Mar 2019
Norwich City manager Daniel Farke has signed a new deal with the club, extending his stay at Carrow Road until 2022.
The German coach took over as the Canaries' manager back in 2017, and has lead the club to the top of the Championship table this season after an exceptional campaign. Bar a dramatic collapse, the Norfolk side look set to gain promotion back to the Premier League, where they will test their strengths in the English top tier for the first time since 2016.
👀 #ncfc pic.twitter.com/F9mjJipCDX
— Norwich City FC (@NorwichCityFC) March 13, 2019
Speaking to the club's official website, the Farke said: "I'm over the moon and absolutely happy to feel blessed and honoured to be in this responsible role for this amazing club. I made clear from the first moment that I arrived here, it really feels like home.
"Of course, right now everything is sorted and I'm unbelievably happy that further on I will be allowed to be in this role and work for this massive club. A big thank you to everyone. From the first minute, you got the feeling that everyone wanted to be successful and the way we wanted to work and the direction we wanted to head.
"It was a bit of a shaky start after two difficult years for the club with relegation and first difficult year back in the Championship. I felt even in these times, there was a lot of support and trust and we are all happy that we have been able to pay back.
"At the moment, it feels a bit like all Canaries are flying and Carrow Road is a pulsating ground with big unity in the club and city. It's really a great pleasure to work each and every day for this amazing club."


On February 7, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14) and Sen. Ed Markey (MA) released their resolution, "Recognizing the duty of the Federal Government to create a Green New Deal." While a "Green New Deal" has meant many different things to different people, this is the first time the idea has been formally introduced in Congress and fleshed out.
On February 6, FCNL joined 25 other national religious organizations, representing nearly 50 million people of faith, in sending a letter to Congress on the climate crisis. The letter urged members of Congress to set aside their political differences and work to address climate change.
The reintroduction of the EICDA (H.R. 763) is an exciting advancement of bipartisan Congressional efforts to price carbon emissions and reduce greenhouse gases.
On Jan. 24, Reps. Ted Deutch (D-FL-22), Francis Rooney (R-FL-19), Charlie Crist (D-FL-13), Judy Chu (D-CA-27), Anna Eshoo (D-CA-18), Scott Peters (D-CA-52), and Dan Lipinski (D-IL-03) introduced the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act of 2019 (EICDA).
The 116th Congress will have new opportunities to advance climate solutions. As we begin a new year, I'm reflecting on the biggest climate developments in 2018 and thinking about what comes next as we work toward an earth restored.
