     * akka mapreduce 示例
     *
     * 目的:
     *  输入3个字符串(代表要执行的三个子任务), 最后将任务结果汇总, 统计 每个单词出现的次数
     *
     * 过程:
     *  1. 对每条消息(子任务) 进行单词分隔初始化计数为1(中间可以作其他操作,例如 过滤不需要统计的单词等 map操作)
     *  2. 对每条消息(字符串) 进行单词频次累加(每个字符串中重复出现的单词次数累加-reduce)
     *  3. 上面两步 是计算出了单个任务中单词的频次, 接下来再把 三个任务进行汇总-reduce
     *  4. 结束, 这就是 map-reduce(总任务划分为子任务, 子任务 进行映射计算等, 最后汇总结果返回)

Chronic Absence is a combination of factors that include school, family, and community. Improving student attendance is essential for ensuring our students are on track to learn and succeed.
In conjunction, with the Attendance Letter Tool in ENCORE, there is a Student Services Attendance Tools folder in Office 365/One Drive that provides numerous resources and strategies for both parents and schools that assist in addressing barriers to attendance. There are also educational materials, and power point presentations for use with faculty, parents, and the community on the importance of attendance, along with research briefs containing important information on best practice and data on attendance outcomes.
Attendance Works resources – Kick off the new year with a focus on attendance!
There are countless resources and tools on the AW website. Here are some selected resource that your school teams may find particularly useful, for all grade levels (many in Spanish as well).
Elementary parent handout (cute infographic): Too sick for school?
The reality is an absence is an absence, excused or not, and that child is not in that classroom benefiting from the instruction on that day. We have to work in our community, with our schools and our families to build a culture of attendance.
*Before making a referral for truancy mediation please do a ccp with Brad Christensen in Student and Family Resources.
After contacting the parent(s) or guardian(s) to discuss the need for mediation and explore three available dates/ times for mediation.
The school will send a truancy mediation information sheet to parent(s) or guardian(s).
The school and school district where the youth attends school and county of residence.
The local mediation coordinator will arrange for mediator and notify the school of the mediator's name and phone number.
The Brief Community Intervention Program is an after-school program for secondary students who are at-risk.

Frederick Taylor was an English professional footballer who played at inside-forward for various clubs in the period prior to the First World War.

Football career
Taylor was born at Halesowen, Worcestershire (now West Midlands) and started his professional football career  in January 1910 with Stourbridge, playing in the Birmingham & District League. In the summer of 1910, he moved to Yorkshire to join Hull City of the Football League Second Division, where he spent a year in the reserves, failing to break into the first-team.

The 1911 close-season saw a move back to Shropshire and the Birmingham & District League, when Taylor joined Wellington Town. During the 1911–12 season, he gained a reputation as a prolific scorer with 27 goals. This brought him to the attention of several larger clubs, including Coventry City. In the summer of 1912, Coventry City's trainer, Jimmy McIntyre, moved to Southern League rivals, Southampton as trainer under secretary Ernest Arnfield. On arrival at The Dell, McIntyre recommended Taylor to his new club, who signed him ready for the 1912–13 season.

Taylor made his debut for the "Saints" in the opening match of the season, playing at inside-right in a 2–2 draw with Northampton Town on 4 September. Taylor found the pace at first-class level much faster than in non-league football and after only one goal in eleven games, he lost his place to another new signing, Fred Turnbull. Taylor made two further appearances, scoring once more, but spent the remainder of the season playing in Southampton's Southern Alliance team, scoring four goals from twelve appearances.

In the summer of 1913, he moved to Lancashire to join Barrow, then playing in the Lancashire Combination.

For me, cookbooks are culinary history just waiting for me to read about and re-create the past. I used to purchase a lot of cookbooks and then face the problem of having to justify the minimal shelf space for that cookbook so I started a policy that for every new cookbook I purchased I would give one away. That policy has worked well for me as I give those cookbooks that I have no room for, but still have a lingering interest in, to my local library. My local library has become my own personal cookbook repository and I infrequently check out my old donated cookbooks.
I still love cookbooks but now online cooking blogs and websites have caught and kept my eye for a number of years. One of my favorite cooking sites for consistently excellent recipes is www.williams-sonoma.com. Last night I made one of my go-to recipes from Williams Sonoma, Chicken Enchiladas with Tomatillo Sauce (Enchiladas Verdes).
On the stove you begin with gently poaching chicken breasts in water with garlic, a little onion and some salt. Boiling the chicken until it barely resembles chicken and is as tough as shoe leather is not the goal - what you want is perfectly cooked chicken that shreds easily and is very moist. The resulting poached chicken can be used in many different ways such as chicken salad sandwiches or a topping for a salad or a pizza. This is chicken with flavor but without fat and with minimal effort.
While the chicken is poaching, the Tomatillo sauce should be started. The Tomatillos, along with Serrano Chilies (I use Jalapeños too) and water are brought to a boil on the stove and simmered until the Tomatillos are tender. Once tender, the drained Tomatillos/Peppers are placed into a blender or food processor along with garlic and blended until the mixture is smooth.
I use my blender for this step as apposed to a food processor as I inevitably make a huge mess with the food processor when working with liquids. This batch of Tomatillo Sauce was only for dinner last night so it was small but sometimes I have to process in batches as I make a lot for future use. The Tomatillo Sauce is also a great Salsa for chips.
After blending, the Tomatillo Sauce goes back into a saucepan with some added Canola Oil and salt and cooked for about 5 minutes or until it thickens up.
A few necessary condiments: Fresh tomatoes, remaining Tomatillo Salsa and Greek Yogurt. I am slowly weaning my family off of Sour Cream as Greek Yogurt (if you have a taste for yogurt) is healthier but gives you the same mouth feel as Sour Cream.
That looks soooooooooooooo good. Yum!

DCCA News: Celebrate National Poetry Month
By Marilyn Delk - DCCA News
Distillery heiress Mary Jane Hayner built her impressive three-story, 10-room Troy home in 1914, and upon her death in 1942 left the building to her community in the care of Troy City schools; the will stipulated that the bequest should be used as a library or museum, or for other cultural or educational purposes. After serving as Troy Public Library for 33 years, the historic landmark became the home of a community cultural center funded primarily by a local tax levy. Troy-Hayner Cultural Center opened in 1976, and has been offering inviting art exhibits and excellent performing arts programs for free ever since.
On Saturday, April 6, Troy-Hayner will host "Poetry At Hayner," an exciting new event which will feature 12 published poets in "A Mosaic of Voices," each reading their own work for five minutes followed by an open mic hour, offering anyone brave enough to share from their personal writing the opportunity to present their thoughts in public. "A Mosaic of Voices" has a Darke County connection; the committee planning this celebration of meaningful words includes three members of our own Greenville Poets, an award-winning group of writers who meet monthly in the home of local poet Myrna Stone, one of the founding members of the group. Committee members Cathy Essinger and Aimee Noel are also "Greenville Poets" although they reside outside the community.
These committee members will not be among the presenting poets, however; that honor has been bestowed upon an impressive list of diverse writers including former University of Dayton Professor of English and Poet-In-Residence Herbert Woodward Martin, well-known for his dramatic and moving performances channeling the persona of renowned Dayton native Paul Laurence Dunbar. Described as a quiet, yet forceful poet, Professor Martin says that he "hears the voices of my characters, hears the voices of my neighborhood," so that he can "write authentically in my own voice."
Other participants include John Booth, a performance poet, multi-instrumentalist and recording artist who is a four-time member of the Dayton National Poetry Slam team; his straightforward style of writing and performing what he calls "this thing that everyone else calls poetry" has earned him the nickname "Assassin with Words." David Lee Garrison, 2014 Ohio Poet of the Year, says that his main goal is to communicate, so he creates poems that are not hard to understand, often based on bits and pieces of his own life fashioned into configurations that transcend his personal experience.
Pauletta Hansel was Cincinnati's very first Poet Laureate, and is an artist in residence at Thomas More University; originally from southeastern Kentucky, Pauletta earned the 2017 Weatherford Award for Best Appalachian Poetry Book. Columbus native Chuck Salmons, currently President of the Ohio Poetry Association and recipient of the 2018 Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence Award, credits his work in construction, education, and retail as well as his love of science as major influences in his poems.
The youngest of the featured poetry presenters, Shannon Saylors, is a senior at Tippecanoe High School whose pieces have been published in "Inferno," an award-winning literary magazine of student submissions; she uses her writing as a platform for the social change she'd like to see in the world, as well as a space for her own personal reflection. Other poets included in "Mosaic of Voices" are Grace Curtis, T.J. McGuire, Jonie McIntire, Elizabeth Cantonwine Schmidt, and Kerry Trautman.
And remember, you could read your poems in the second half of this event which follows an hors d'oeuvres and wine reception at intermission; those wishing to participate in the open mic hour should sign up for one of the limited slots beginning at 6:30 p.m. "Poetry At the Hayner" begins at 7:30 p.m. Additionally, Ohio Watercolor Society's 41st annual exhibition currently on display at Hayner is definitely worthy of a look/see. You'll be amazed at how much fun you can have immersing yourself in an enticing encounter with the arts; it won't cost you a thing, but you'll undoubtedly profit from your time spent enjoying Mrs. Hayner's remarkable legacy.

Young veterans' reform group presses for a pokie-free RSL
March 4, 2019 — 5.42pm
The Victorian RSL's old guard is facing a revolt from younger members who say the 103-year old league has lost its way and must get out of poker machines.
Veterans, including those from Afghanistan, Iraq and East Timor, are campaigning for reform ahead of the RSL state conference in July, where will they will contest leadership positions and propose constitutional change.

They argue that young veterans were either not interested in the clubs, or were struggling with post-service mental health issues, and were prone to problem gambling. This made the presence of pokies in many RSL clubs a welfare problem.
Dave Petersen 32, is an Afghanistan veteran who was medically discharged for mental health reasons. A former army artilleryman, he is now president of the Camberwell sub-branch, the youngest sub-branch president in Victoria, and a leader of the group challenging the RSL's old guard.
Mr Petersen said the RSL management and executive was dominated by older men - now predominantly Vietnam veterans - who had been convinced that gaming would be a gold mine for the organisation. There are no women on the RSL Victoria executive.
But his comrades have begun questioning the financial merits of pokies, and are highlighting other negatives for RSL culture.
"The problem with the big gaming clubs," says Petersen, "is that they're focused on drawing in pokie players from the wider community, rather than on looking after veterans.
"Pokies, cheap parmas and pots for the general punter. That's what these clubs are about. Younger vets look at these clubs and see nothing there for them."
A move out of gaming would be a seismic shift for the RSL, which enthusiastically embraced pokies when they were first introduced to Victoria in the early 1990s. The push for change comes as sporting clubs are also under pressure to exit the gaming industry.
Of the 250 RSL sub-branches in Victoria more than 50 have poker machines. The pokie clubs made more than $200 million a year through player losses, making the RSL Victoria's second biggest pokies operator in Victoria after Woolworths/ALH.

But a modest profit margin across the gaming venues is boosted by interest-free loans and capital provision from the Victorian RSL's building fund. Some of the gaming venues actually run at a loss.
Mr Petersen said very little pokie money found its way into veteran welfare.
He said the RSL would be better off rationalising local clubs, selling pokie licences and either selling or leasing the valuable real estate needed to house and operate pokies.
On Sunday the Camberwell city RSL sub-branch, which has no poker machines, held a public barbecue and gave away $10,000 to help local veterans who are now studying.
The event was intended to show how a traditional, non-pokie RSL club could be profitable and genuinely helpful to veterans.
"We see no reason to believe that poker machines provide benefits to veterans that cannot be provided in other ways," said Mr Petersen.
The reform group is working to build RSL membership, including rebuilding dormant sub-branches and trying to attract veterans from recent military conflicts into the organisation.
Despite warnings from the RSL leadership that public criticism is at odds with league rules, the reformers are rallying support through social media.

The clock ran out on Michigan's big win at Michigan State last month, and as Wolverines guard Nik Stauskas jogged gleefully off the court, he blew a big kiss toward the crowd at the Breslin Center.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) ? The clock ran out on Michigan's big win at Michigan State last month, and as Wolverines guard Nik Stauskas jogged gleefully off the court, he blew a big kiss toward the crowd at the Breslin Center.
A bit much? Perhaps, but in this rivalry it's easy to get lost in the moment.
"We were just excited to get a win there," Stauskas said. "Maybe I shouldn't have done that, but it's all right."
There are always bragging rights on the line when these teams meet, but when No. 20 Michigan hosts No. 13 Michigan State on Sunday, a lot more will be at stake. The Wolverines trail the Spartans by a half-game atop the Big Ten standings, so the race for the conference title could swing significantly this weekend.
This looks even more like a two-team race after Saturday, when No. 16 Wisconsin's 79-74 win over No. 15 Iowa left Michigan (18-7, 10-3) and Michigan State (22-5, 11-3) as the only Big Ten teams with fewer than five conference losses.
The Spartans still have to face Iowa and Ohio State later this season, so there may be a bit more pressure on them to stay in first place by winning in Ann Arbor. Michigan State tuned up by making 17 3-pointers Thursday night in a 94-79 win at Purdue.
"I guess destiny is kind of in our own hands ? and we're playing for a championship, still, in our last two weeks," Spartans coach Tom Izzo said. "That's my goal every year: In the last two weeks, do we still have a mathematical chance to win the league? We're there."
Michigan State has more than just a chance, if its last performance was any indication. Gary Harris scored 25 points for the Spartans against Purdue. Adreian Payne ? who missed the first game against Michigan with an injury ? scored 23.
"We're going to have to really play a great basketball game on Sunday," Michigan coach John Beilein said. "They're good. They've got a great program, they've got so many good things going their way, but we'll still show up and do our best."
If Beilein was trying to shift the pressure to Michigan State, the Spartans aren't likely to fall for that. Both these teams have dealt with potentially devastating injuries this season, and for Michigan State, that's been an ongoing source of uncertainty.
Payne (sprained foot) and Branden Dawson (broken hand) missed the first meeting with Michigan. Payne is back and playing well, but Dawson still hasn't played since Jan. 21. Keith Appling played against Michigan the first time, but he's been bothered for a while by a wrist problem. Appling is 4 for 23 from 3-point range over his last eight games.
The Wolverines, meanwhile, have been without big man Mitch McGary since mid-December because of a back injury.
There's an interesting rest vs. rust subplot to this game, because Michigan hasn't played since losing at home to Wisconsin last weekend. The Wolverines have not lost consecutive home games since January 2011.
"Not losing at home, that's a big thing," Michigan guard Caris LeVert said. "We're going to come in ready to play this weekend."
LeVert has emerged as an impressive offensive option for Michigan, which is important since opposing teams have done a better job slowing Stauskas lately. Freshman point guard Derrick Walton has had his moments too, and Glenn Robinson III is always a threat.
Michigan State has also developed secondary options ? perhaps by necessity amid all the injuries. Denzel Valentine is averaging 8.1 points per game, and Travis Trice is shooting 44 percent from 3-point range.
Both teams were undefeated in conference play when Michigan beat the Spartans 80-75 on Jan. 25. There isn't much separating them this time either.
"Every game is a momentum game right now. We need every game," Payne said. "We know it's going to be a big game."


I finally own a couple of sets.
Supra the plain Black mats are so nice! Are any of these for sale?
I have been watching them haha I am interested but its not something I really really need its my inner collector poking me with a stick saying buy them. I am debating on starting a track build on my 97 Miata so the funds would be needed.
Haha i'm surprised those V-special mats aren't sold yet!
The black mats are actually for sale.
What would ask for them?


Contracted by CSU Dominguez Hills' Student Affairs and Enrollment Department, Studio El Rey brought me on as the copywriter to develop the University's outreach marketing campaign. This included a series of outdoor ads and posters displayed at bus shelters, on bus tails, and around campus. Using photos of actual students to reflect the University's unique diversity, the ads focused on the convenience and excellence of its academic programs. Since launching the campaign, CSUDH has meet and exceeded its enrollment goals for the first time in 10 years.


Marc Jacobs and celeb tattooist Scott Campbell gave new meaning to "branded" activation.
Over four days at their Madison Avenue flagship, Marc Jacobs offered a new kind of freebie: fresh ink by celebrity tattooist Scott Campbell. Besides the lifelong permanence, these tattoos came with a catch. Participants, chosen via lotto wheel and separated from Campbell by a partition, wouldn't know their design until the deed was done. Captured by videographer Lukas Chmiel, the activation-meets-social experiment—aptly dubbed "Whole Glory"—is bound to leave an impression.


Nearly overshadowed by this week's contentious statement of the Anglican Primates' Meeting concerning the status of the Episcopal Church within the Anglican Communion was an announcement by the Archbishop of Canterbury that he has been in conversation with representatives of the Roman Catholic Church as well as with Coptic Pope Tawadros II concerning a shared and fixed observance of Easter. The latter has, it seems, spearheaded this latest of many efforts to reconcile the celebration of Easter, putting the idea forth to both Roman Pope Francis and Bartholomew, the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople. Pope Francis has said that the Roman Church is not opposed 'in principle' to such a change, and Bp Welby remarked that he hoped to see this resolved in five or ten years' time.
The proposed dates are apparently either the second Sunday of April (in which case it could fall anytime from 8 to 14 April) or the Sunday after the second Saturday of April (9 to 15 April).
The reckoning of time is an extremely complicated subject. The independent cycles of the earth's rotation about its axis, the moon's revolution about the earth, and the earth's revolution about the sun, along with the tilt of the earth's axis, the eccentricity of the earth's orbit, and even more complex astronomical phenomena, mean that days, months, and years do not coincide or occur in exact multiples of one another.
Various cultures have taken individual approaches to keeping time and reconciling these cycles according to their needs, and reviewing such schemes reminds us that, to a certain point, the way we measure time is relatively arbitrary. It may surprise us to recollect, for example, that the archaic Roman calendar had only ten months covering the agriculturally active part of the year and ignoring the rest (and for that matter, republican Rome used an eight-day market week, the seven-day week only coming into use with the Julian calendar in 45 bce). The Jewish calendar is a lunar and agricultural one; ours is largely solar, and the attempt to convert dates from one system to another, along with various imprecisions (or varying solutions thereto), have led to discrepancies in observance.
Thomas J. Talley treats the development of the Christian year thoroughly and lucidly in The Origins of the Liturgical Year, relevant parts of which I attempt to summarize below.
Our Lord's Passion, of course, is said by the evangelists to have taken place at the feast of the Passover (the discrepancy between the synoptic and Johannine chronologies – i.e. whether the Last Supper was the Passover meal itself or a meal on the day before – though important, need not concern us here). Passover begins on 14 Nisan in the Jewish calendar, Nisan being the first month of the year or at least the first spring month.
In time, however, and by whatever means, the annual commemoration of the historical fact of the Resurrection at Pascha became important for the Christian community. As long as Christians were connected to the Jewish community, they could keep the Christian Pascha at the same time. When Christians were separated from the Jewish community, however, the necessary adjustments to the Jewish lunar calendar that were promulgated by the religious authorities became unavailable to them – and thus the need arose to determine the appropriate date for the celebration on their own.
A Western Roman attempt to calculate the historical date of the Passion (by calculating the 'fourteenth day of the moon' in various years) placed it on 25 March. This date was reinforced by the same logic of birth (or conception)–death coincidence just described by establishing the Conception of St John the Baptist at 24 September (understanding Zechariah's service in the Temple [Lk 1] to have taken place during the High Holy Days of Tishri, the seventh month) and thus setting his nativity at 24 June, as well as understanding the Annunciation of Our Lord to take place 'in the sixth month' of Elizabeth's pregnancy, 25 March. By these calculations, of course, we arrive at 25 December for the Nativity of Our Lord.
Those who celebrated the Christian Pascha invariably on 6 April came to be known as Quartodecimans (i.e., 'fourteenthers'); they eventually lost out to those who chose to celebrate the Lord's Resurrection on a Sunday, in particular the Sunday following the first full moon after the spring equinox (when, in theory, the Passover was kept). This Sunday observance has been the general norm at least since the First Council of Nicaea (325), the date being calculated at Alexandria and promulgated throughout the Church in a proclamation (solemnly sung to the same tone as the Easter Proclamation, Exultet) on the Feast of the Epiphany.
Observance diverged, however, in 1582 with the introduction in the West of the Gregorian calendar, which, with the immediate dropping of thirteen days and the adoption of certain other adjustments, aimed to correct for the inaccuracies of the Julian calendar over the centuries vis-à-vis the astronomical situation (the Gregorian reform is one of several such calendrical reforms that can make calculating the 'actual' anniversary of a historical date difficult if not impossible). The Orthodox Churches of the East did not accept the Gregorian reform (and indeed, owing to the Catholic–Protestant split, its adoption in the West was gradual and tortuous), and so the observance of Easter has often been unsynchronized between East and West. Though in the twentieth century a number of Orthodox Churches adopted a Julian calendar revised to take into account the corrections offered by the Gregorian calendar, not all of the Orthodox adoped this reform, and in any case it affected only the feasts of fixed dates and not the calculations for Easter. Furthermore, the rules for determining the date of Easter adopted at Nicaea do not always correspond to the rules eventually adopted for the calculation of the observance of Passover, with the result that perhaps a quarter of the time, the Jewish and Christian Paschas do not even broadly coincide (they do not necessarily correspond with the astronomical definitions of the spring equinox either).
As for a fixed date, or something close to it, such a thing has not been observed since the days of the Quartodecimans. The proposed time-frame mentioned at the beginning of this entry would place Easter close to, if not exactly coincident with, the 6 April equivalent for the 'fourteenth day of the first spring month' mentioned above (modern calculations for the actual historical date of the Crucifixion or Resurrection – i.e., the question to which 25 March was one early answer – apparently range from 3 to 7 April).
The suggestion of this fixed observance no doubt raises a number of questions: certainly practical ones, as well as questions dealing with symbolism and perhaps the priorities underlying the observance of certain feasts in certain ways. Probably none of these are, to use the common parlance, 'deal-breakers', but it is well worth examining the potential consequences of such a change, and I hope that many minds much greater than mine are being consulted and raising many more questions than occur to me.
Perhaps one question is whether it is more important to observe a memorial of the Passion on a (somewhat symbolic and approximate, though less symbolic – or, to the modern mind, 'arbitrary' – than the dates of the Incarnation cycle) equivalent of its historical date, or to maintain a connection to the living observance of Passover. Another might be whether the connection to the equinox (however determined) is important: the equinox did not directly influence Christian observance in the beginning, it seems, but it underlay the date of Passover and came to have important symbolic significance for Christians. In the industrialized world, astronomical phenomena have come to have drastically less importance: is it important for us to continue or reclaim these connections?
Whatever the answers, the catholic faith is neither strictly historical nor merely symbolic; its sacramental and incarnational understanding of the world posits that matter and spirit, time and eternity, history and myth are intertwined, and our calendar and feasts have agricultural and astronomical, historical and symbolical aspects that should all be kept in view.
As far as I can tell, the only truly major feast that might more often be affected is the Visitation, 31 May; other feasts that are often displaced significantly due to Holy Week (St Joseph, 22 March; the Annunciation, 25 March) or Easter Week (St Mark, 27 April; Sts Philip & James, 3 May) would permanently avoid falling in these privileged octaves. The feast of St Matthias (24 February†) would be displaced one day by Ash Wednesday more often than it is now.
On the other hand, in the bcp1979 Calendar and Lectionary, I believe, the lessons assigned for the (Seventh and) Eighth Sundays after the Epiphany, equivalent to Propers 1 and 2 for the weeks after Pentecost and Trinity, would never be read, leaving a permanent hole in the course-readings of the Gospels.§ There may be other consequences for those following Eastern calendars.
Given early diversity concerning the date or even the observance at all of Easter, it might seem that the Church today could continue to live with such diversity. In any case it remains to be seen whether the necessary momentum will gather, and whether the other Oriental Orthodox, or the even further separated churches East and West, might be willing to follow the lead of the prelates currently involved in the discussion.
Whatever decision is ultimately made, perhaps the discussion will provide the opportunity for the forging of greater ecumenical awareness and stronger bonds, as well as for a good deal of teaching about, and reclamation of, the symbolism and import of the Christian Pascha, rooted in the Passover themes and images of creation, the Binding of Isaac, the deliverance from Egypt, and the coming of Messiah. Perhaps those Protestants who do not observe Holy Week at all, and Anglicans whose leaders have not taught them (or do not themselves believe in) the critical importance of a richly celebrated Triduum, may be brought to a deeper encounter with Christ through a fuller celebration of the liturgy; more people may be prepared more thoroughly through Lenten catechesis for Easter Baptism; more Christians may live lives of joy and expectancy by renewing their own Passover on the night in which, as we alluded earlier, time and eternity, history and symbolism, 'earth and heaven are joined and man is reconciled to God'.
* Sozomen referred to a supposedly amicably resolved dispute between Victor, Bishop of Rome, and Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna, but in fact the dispute was between Victor and Polycrates, Bishop of Ephesus, which ended in Victor's excommunicating the province of Asia until he was persuaded to relent. There had earlier, according to Irenaeus, been an amicably resolved dispute between Anicetus, Bishop of Rome, and Polycarp, which, according to Talley, may have been as fundamental as whether to observe Pascha at all, the Gentiles at Rome perhaps feeling no connection to Passover, while the Jerusalem-influenced Asian Church did. If such a fundamental issue was left to local custom, perhaps – following the amity suggested by Sozomen – the more prominent issues raised at the Primates' Meeting might also be set aside.
† Actually the official Roman date is the 5th day before the Kalends of March; when a leap day is added, the feast remains on the 5th day before the Kalends of March, but this ought to be observed as 25 February. In the Tridentine Calendar of Pius V, the feast of St Matthias is celebrated twice in leap years.
‡ On the other hand, if Easter be celebrated on 25 March, some interesting symmetries then occur: the Feasts of the Ascension and All Saints fall six months apart (the 1 November date of All Saints in the West apparently derives from the foundation of an oratory in St Peter's Basilica 'for the relics of the holy apostles and of all saints, martyrs and confessors, of all the just made perfect who are at rest throughout the world', though its coincidence with the autumn cross-quarter day and the harvest themes thereof may have been deliberate), and the traditional Feast of the Transfiguration (6 August, this date chosen to fall forty days before the Feast of the [Invention of the] Holy Cross, itself commemorating the dedication of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem on 13/14 September 335) falls very nearly opposite the observation of the Transfiguration on the Last Sunday after the Epiphany in the Episcopal Church and many denominations that use the Revised Common Lectionary; the latter then also nearly coincides with Candlemas, another great feast of light (which also falls on a cross-quarter day).
§ Though the series of readings in what the Roman Lectionary more clearly calls 'Ordinary Time' is theoretically continuous between the Sundays after the Epiphany and the Sundays after Pentecost, simply interrupted by the Lent–Easter season at whatever point it should fall, Trinity Sunday in fact obscures one such Ordinary Sunday and its propers, and in the Episcopal Church, the privilieged Last Sunday after the Epiphany – a doublet of the Transfiguration – obscures another. Actually, in years when there are only 33 Sundays in Ordinary Time, one of these propers is also omitted.

Q: Replacing with this pattern doesn't work as I would expect it to, what's wrong? I need help on extracting some words from this sentence:
String keywords = "I like to find something vicous in somewhere bla bla bla.\r\n" +
            "https://address.suffix.com/level/somelongurlstuff";

And my matching code looks somewhat like this:
    keywords = keywords.toLowerCase();
    regex = "(I like to find )(.*)( in )(.*)(\\.){1}(.*)";
    regex = regex.toLowerCase();
    keywords = keywords.replaceAll(regex, "$4 $2"); //"$4 $2");

And I want to extract the words between find and  in  and between  in  and the first dot. however, as the url has multiple dots, some weird stuff starts happening and I get what I need PLUS the url wit dots replaced with empty spaces. I want the url to be gone, because it's supposed to be the matched with (.*) in my case, and I only need one dot after my words with (\\.){1}, so I wonder what's going wrong there? Any ideas?
By adding (?s) or doing removing all new line characters on the line before matching on the regex gives you something like: somewhere bla bla bla address suffix something vicious so the problem with the url without having dots still being left there persists.
This is NOT just about matching multiline text.

A: You need two things to fix: 1) add the DOTALL modifier since you have text that spans across multiple lines and 2) use lazy dot matching or - more efficient - a negated character class [^.] to match characters up to the first . after in:
(?s)(I like to find )(.*)( in )([^.]*)(\.)(.*)
                               ^^^^^^^

See the regex demo
However, the best one would be this one:
(?s)(I like to find )(.*?)( in )([^.]*)(\.)(.*)

The reluctant (lazy) quantifier makes the engine match as few characters as possible between the lazily quantified subpattern and the next subpattern. If we use .* before ( in ), backtracking will occur, that is, the whole string after "I like to find " will be grabbed by the regex engine, and then the engine will move backwards looking for the last  in . Thus, using .*? will match up to the first  in .
Instead of [^.]* you can use  a . with a reluctant quantifier *? to match up to the first dot, but it is costlier in terms of performance since the engine expands the subpattern upon each fail it comes across when trying to match the string with the subsequent subpatterns.
Check my answer for Perl regex matching optional phrase in longer sentence to understand how greedy and lazy (=reluctant) quantifiers work.

Q: filtering Future API Can i filter Asynchronous call. Does future provide some filter where i can add condition to wait until first call is complete not put time.
   import java.math.BigInteger;
   import java.util.concurrent.Callable;
   import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

   public class FactorialCalculator implements Callable<BigInteger> {

    private int value;

    public FactorialCalculator(int value) {

        this.value = value;
    }

    @Override
    public BigInteger call() throws Exception {

        var result = BigInteger.valueOf(1);

        if (value == 0 || value == 1) {

            result = BigInteger.valueOf(1);
        } else {

            for (int i = 2; i <= value; i++) {

                result = result.multiply(BigInteger.valueOf(i));
            }
        }

        TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.sleep(500);

        return result;
    }
}

A: The get() method of future waits for result to complete, and then retrieves its result.
 ExecResult execResult = getingWsdl.get();

Or you can use a overload method get(long timeout, TimeUnit unit) that wait for at most the given time for the execution to complete, and then retrieves its result, if available
ExecResult execResult = getingWsdl.get(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

Or you can also put execResult into a Thread and wait for a condition in run() method to evaluate execResult. Observe that if you want a return from Thread you can use Callable interface and ExecutorService instead Runnable and Thread.

A: Look at the CompletableFuture class and especially the CompletionStage interface it implements. This allows you to chain asynchronous actions together as you imply you want to do.
Something like this perhaps:
CompletableFuture<Result> getBoth = CompletableFuture
    .completeAsync(getBase,executor)
    .thenApplyAsync(getTar,executor);

This will run the getBase Supplier to get the base WSDL, and then if it completes normally run a Function<WSDL,Result> to get the second datum and combine it with the first to create the Result.

Stone the crows! Who says Australian industry can't compete? Why when it comes to self-defeating stunts our workers united will never be defeated.
Last week workers at Toyota went on strike for more money. Their union wants 12 per cent over 36 months while the company is offering 11 per cent over 39 months.[i] David Smith from the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union is quoted as saying, "The workers believe they've done the right thing by the company. They're saying the cost of living pressure is hurting, especially utilities which are skyrocketing." [ii]
And this in a struggling industry whose survival is suspect thanks to the high dollar hurting exports. A globalised industry where companies can switch production offshore. A mendicant industry where pay and profits are provided in part by the taxpayer.
It's an excellent example of what happens when taxpayers shell out for the privilege of protecting unionised workers and their managers. According to the Productivity Commission, state support for the industry through tariffs (on new and used cars) and direct subsidies came to $1.6bn in 2009-10, or around $29,000 per worker [iii]
Not you understand that this has anything to do with the protectionism of the past that rewarded politically powerful unions and employers at the expense of everybody else.
At least not according to Industry Minister Kim Carr who made his belief in public funding for car makers quite clear when he launched the Bracks Review, which funnily enough recommended just that:
Now, answering today's challenges and seizing tomorrow's opportunities will require new ideas and new policies. That's why we've been talking about the need for a new partnership between government and the sector to attract new investment and to secure the jobs, the innovation, the technical skills which are driven by this critical industry. [iv]
And at least not according to Sophie Mirabella, Shadow Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science who says, "Manufacturers are not asking for handouts, for the reinstatement of tariff walls and fortresses, or the creation of some kind of siege mentality in Australia. Far from it." [v]
And certainly not to Toby Hagan, motoring editor of The Age who says the fact that Australians prefer imported vehicles matters less than maintaining our ability to construct a car from concept to carpark: "That's something that will become more important once the mining boom ends."[vi]
But protection for privileged people is precisely what the Crows think they are all advocating – without state support it is a racing certainty Toyota would not be employing all its 4,500 workers.[vii]
As anybody as old as the Crows knows, protection is pointless. Manufacturing has no future if it depends on politicians to prop it up.
Of course it need not be this way, Australia can have an automotive industry, and manufacture all sorts of other stuff as well, if we are prepared to pay the price – which we aren't.
The Yanks demonstrate how to do it. Two days ago, the United Autoworkers Union, representing the elite of what is left of American mass manufacturing, reached an agreement for better wages and conditions with General Motors.
But before anybody starts pointing out precedents for us, 2000 entry level workers at GM, who are paid $14 an hour or half as much as long-term employees, receive only "a modest" increase of between $2 and $3 an hour.[viii] The package also comes off a pretty low base following Washington's $ US 60bn bailout of the big three during the GFC, (granted this was protectionism on the grandest scale, which is expected to cost the taxpayer $14bn in the end, but in crises politics trumps economics.)[ix]
GM, Chrysler and Ford still have a way to go before they are cost competitive, even against other US manufacturers. Unionised labour costs the big three over $50 an hour; twice what Volkswagen and Hyundai pay in the Tennessee and Alabama plants.[x]
With the US economy stagnating as China booms there are estimates that by the middle of the decade manufacturing workers in Mississippi will cost just 30 per cent more than their competitors in the Yangtze delta. For companies servicing the US market it makes manufacturing at home close to competitive.[xi]
The chance of Australians accepting a similar strategy are somewhere between buckley's and none at least while manufacturing is unionised and industrial relations reform is off the agenda. Which means that ultimately the automotive industry must improve its productivity or go broke.
Just now, everybody seems to expect the latter will happen. It is certainly fashionable to argue that Australians are hopeless at manufacturing. Ross Gittins argues:
You can't specialise in everything and the truth is we've never been good at manufacturing. Our domestic market has been too small to give us economies of scale and we've been too far away from the developed countries that buy manufactures.[xii]
True, but protection also meant productivity was ignored – if we want a manufacturing industry of any sort it will have to survive without the burden of sloth- ensuring state support. And by producing products that compete on price and quality in the global market.
Which is easier said than done, especially in the post Fair Work world where productivity is seen as a synonym for exploitation. As Jessica Irvine put it in a spectacularly silly piece last week, "Calling on Australians to be more productive somehow makes it sound like we're all drones – our sole purpose being to produce more and more." According to Ms Irvine, we should work smarter rather than harder so we can have the same standard of living while working less, which would allow productivity improving creativity to flourish [xiii]
This rather misses the point that competing countries will work harder, longer and smarter while we are kicking back.
And all the public subsidies in the world cannot overcome this.
But it is not a message people who think a manufacturing industry is essential have heard. Barnaby Joyce told Christian Kerr last week:
If you remove your manufacturing industry you can't somehow conjure it up from nothing at a later stage if you need it. You've got to have a pragmatic approach to this. … You do have a responsibility to the people of your country that requires you to go beyond the theoretical to the pragmatic. [xiv]
But which people? Those that protection pays or the vast majority who do the paying, through the tax and tariff systems?
The answer is obvious. We cannot leave people behind, relying on government funding. Michele O'Neil from the Textile, Clothing and Footwear Union explains, perhaps unintentionally why, saying, "One of (manufacturing's) great strengths is that it has provided employment for generations of Australian workers without necessarily having formal qualifications."[xv]
No longer. If manufacturing has a future it will be because it employs people with education and training, degrees and Certificate IV for a start.
The Gillard Government passed legislation last week, with coalition support, which guaranteed access to university for everybody with the demonstrable ability and inclination to study.[xvi]
It's the sort of state support that manufacturing needs.

The city clerk's office says in a social media post that councillors voted unanimously to approve the motion.
Councillor Christine Boyle, who moved the resolution, says staff now have the mandate to "dramatically strengthen" Vancouver's climate action plan.
She says that could include new methods to reduce greenhouse gas emissions beyond the city's current climate targets and creating a special working group to support Vancouver's efforts to transition off of fossil fuels.
Boyle says climate change is already affecting Vancouver residents and addressing the emergency won't be easy.
"We are a smart city, capable of doing difficult things," Boyle says in a news release.
Vancouver's carbon pollution levels are seven per cent below 2007 levels, representing an average reduction of less than one per cent per year over the past decade. An average annual reduction of over three per cent is necessary to meet the city's 2030 targets, the release says.

Dolphins coach Joe Philbin stood behind Pouncey during his news conference after the practice. Philbin confirmed that he and the team will be in constant communication with the league regarding any discipline for Pouncey.
"The one thing that's without question about Mike Pouncey which is important is he wants to be a great football player," said Philbin, who invited Pouncey to a dinner with free agent left tackle Branden Albert before the team signed him. "He wants to make a valuable contribution to the Miami Dolphins, and he's not unlike any other player that we have in terms of there's an educational process every player goes through. But I love the effort and energy that he brings and that he's put forth into this offseason and today's Day 1. It's a long,NFL Jerseys China, long process, but he's off to a good start."

A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Masanobu Komatsu, Ph.D. at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine/All Children's Hospital. The previous findings from this laboratory revealed the importance of a Ras homolog, R-Ras, for morphogenesis, maturation, and normalization of regenerating vasculature (Li et al. Nature Communications 2017; Sawada et al. Cancer Cell 2012; Komatsu and Ruoslahti, Nature Medicine 2005). The current study focuses on the molecular mechanism by which tumor blood vessels, especially intratumoral high endothelial venues, enables T cell infiltration into tumors and facilitate anti-tumor immunity. Prospective candidates will be conducting the study at our Florida campus in St. Petersburg. Interested applicants should submit a single PDF file containing CV, a brief description of research interests and accomplishments to Dr. Komatsu.


The Star Tribune reports two new deaths are now linked to the Medtronic SynchroMed II pump device. According to the Tribune, this and similar Medtronic pump devices are linked to "dozens" of deaths in the United States over the past few years.
The SynchroMed II is a programmable infusion pump designed to deliver precise dosages of prescribed medications to the spinal cord. As with other Medtronic products, the SynchroMed II pump has been plagued with issues both in the U.S. and abroad since its release. Among these problems are at least 14 deaths – one of which occurred in Minnesota.
As a result of the company's continued failure to address risks posed by the SynchroMed II, the FDA required Medtronic to sign a consent decree in 2015 that places tight controls on when a doctor can prescribe the device and allows continued monitoring of the company by FDA officials.
The Tribune reports that the company argues over-administration of pain medications is a physician error or a result of unapproved prescriptions being used in the pump. However, over-administration of medications was also behind the recall the Medtronic Paradigm pump, making it appear that these devices may simply be defective by design.
At GoldenbergLaw, we have been representing victims of defective medical devices for over three decades and know how to handle these cases for optimal results. If you or a loved one has been injured by a Medtronic device, we welcome an opportunity to meet with you free of charge to discuss your options.

I tend to be quite picky; I don't want to give 4 or 5 stars because something simply has meritable content. I base my reviews on author knowledge, content, writing quality and creativity, grammar and editing, and the use or overuse of excerpted passages.
I love references, but I do not find it appropriate to write a book of excerpts strung together by a few transitional passages.
Yes it does happen every day. And yes it is painful as well as traumatic. But that doesn't mean anyone with the ability to string a few words together to make sentences should be given a publishing contract for their story. Memoir is narrative nonfiction. That means it is factual events told through story. In order to do that there should be an arc of development from the beginning to the end. The author needs some license to paint the scene visually and there should be introspective interiority since the main character is the author reflecting on their own life. The story of infidelity and divorce is so common that it needs an uncommon voice, someone with literary talent, not merely someone who can tell the same story as a large percentage of other divorced men and women.
Unfortunately Isabel Gillies is not literarily talented. This is not a self-published book and I find it a betrayal to talented authors that editors select such works over higher quality story-telling and that once the editors have such a manuscript they do not rein in the authors by editing out the trivial ramblings that inflate the text to at least twice what it should be.
Is Happens Every Day supposed to be about betrayal, loss and recovery or about betrayal and loss or about recovery from betrayal and loss? Does it cover the entire arc or parts and what did the author mean to cover—did she fail in her mission?
She married a poet—his PhD was in poetry. It would seem natural for such a man to be introspectively interior. He married a woman attuned visually, her focus was more external. There is nothing right or wrong with either, both are natural variations on personality. But her insecurities lead her to interpret his interior understanding of her to be indicative of a dislike of who she was on a daily basis, she feared he was unable to relate to her. Since she is the authorial voice my sense of him is only through her perspective and it seems he did understand or make efforts to understand her—in his interior way. The person who seemed unable to relate was the author. He fluidly moved between her external world and his intellectual and interior world of academia, whereas she seemed unable or unwilling to shift between the two worlds.
She believes that love gives you no choices. "Once you are in love I don't think you have a lot of choices. You just have to ride it out." (Page 44) If love is not a choice, it just happens and the reverse is also true, the unnamed force that is not choice may change and it can unhappen and a person has no say, no control; no choice. So there is nothing a person can do. Marriage and love cannot be created and they are not work; they are just something that strikes like lightening or burns and goes out like fireworks. How disempowering. Gillies seems stuck in romantic delusions of perfection content with the pretty picture she thinks her little family makes without concerning herself with its interior structure. Her vignettes of these romantic delusions are functional to the story in that they help set the scene of her life and marriage; but she doesn't seem to understand that they are delusions. She uses them to establish how solid her romance felt which then leads the reader to understand the shock of betrayal which was soon to follow.
The kernel of the story does not begin for over a hundred pages. She spends the first 90 or so pages setting the scene of how she and her husband came to Oberlin, referencing her privileged upbringing and reviewing superficial bits of scenery which all reveal her as having a disconnect with mainstream society. The mild foreshadowing begins on page 80 and builds, but the kernel of the story doesn't begin until page 105 when she becomes direct about her suspicions of infidelity in a phone conversation with a friend. The this marriage is over Bomb Drop does not occur until page 127.
Cut the first 80 pages to a short—5 page—essay. Keep the opening paragraph and the ending paragraph of the first chapter as a prologue before the background essay. Cut page 80 – 105 to 5 – 10 pages and cut pages 105 – 127 to 10 pages. After Bomb Drop the reader reaches the story promised in the inside flap. Finally.
From that point the book has some merit. The inside flap says the story is redemptive, but that would require showing the journey to the happy ending rather than merely stating that it has a happy ending in the last few pages. Gillies' story focuses on the early phase of Stress Response which begins with Bomb Drop and typically lasts about 6-12 weeks. After that point most people regain some resiliency—but that is just the beginning and it may feel like a small gain.
That phase is crazy-making. Her betraying husband gaslights her and she reacts in typical manners. She shows the fear and obsessive thoughts along with the denial—maybe it's not both of them, maybe he's pursuing and Sylvia is not responding. She tries to convince herself that she really has no idea and yet her suspicions that lead to Bomb Drop are evidence that she has the main idea. I've been there and I understand it. If people are concerned that she seems like a doormat or stuck in poor-me victim mode; this is normal for this initial period after Bomb Drop. Getting stuck in the poor-me state is when a person does not move through this normal period of reaction to the shock.
This initial phase is the beginning of the journey and does not follow through an arc of character development. So of course ending the story with what might have been the end of the initial Stress Response that followed Bomb Drop will not show growth and reflection. That was a flaw in the book but not in her story or actions. Gillies failed to finish the story in this book. In her defense she wrote two books. The first, Happens Every Day, reviews the betrayal and ends with a reference to her new husband but fails to deliver on a full character arc. The second, A Year and Six Seconds, reviews this recovery phase—which given her time line leads me to be skeptical. The last line of her epilogue states And then I met the love of my life… This hints at the second book, but after 3.5 years after Bomb Drop she is already married to the love of her life? That leaves little time for recovery, dating and remarriage. She also thought her first husband was the love of her life. But regardless that does not excuse the incomplete book or the publishers for publishing it. The two books are a single story and need to be in a single book.


Oh sure, you've decided to either increase your income on a part-time basis or you've quit your job and taken the full-time plunge. So what! All that means is you've decided to take control of your own financial future and make things happen. I'm proud of you if you have made that choice.
I mean are you so narrowly focused on one little piece of the business that you're letting the real money fly right on by? Most people get started in real estate and learn one or two ways to make money. Then they spend ten or twenty years doing the same stupid things over and over.
Oh sure, most make good money and others do exceptionally well. But what saddens me the most is, in all my years of training in this business, I've only seen a handful of sharp entrepreneurs really grasp the big picture. Most are so content making a good living that they miss the most profitable part of the business.
Wholesaling is finding bargains and quickly passing them on to bargain hunters. The house usually needs to be rehabbed and the buyer is willing to do the rehab. The buyer then retails to the consumer or lives in it.
The plan is to find the bargain, tie it up with a purchase contract, then quickly sell. The profit comes from doing a simultaneous closing with the buyer who brings to the closing a few thousand dollars more than you agreed to pay the seller. Many of my students do nothing but wholesaling a few hours per week and earn more than their full time jobs.
Retailing is getting these same houses fixed up and sold to owner/occupants through new financing. Most beginners look at investing through this window. Conventional wisdom says the way to make money is to either buy, fix, and resell or to keep and rent.
If you've ever heard me speak, you know how I feel about conventional wisdom. It's almost always wrong. However, in this case I agree, there is real money in retailing and renting.
But you see, here is something you'll never learn from conventional wisdom that can only come from a battle-scarred warrior who's learned the hard way. This one lesson alone could make the difference between success and failure.
Do not do any repairs or become a long-term landlord your first year in business.
How does that stack up to conventional wisdom? You've been told by all your real estate courses and investor buddies that the best thing to do is rush out and buy a rental property or a fixer-upper. You know what? Even though that's the last thing I want you to do, I'd still prefer it to doing nothing.
However, before you do, let me briefly make my case and see if you agree with me. First, let's look at why you want to do either. Your reason for buying and selling a fixer-upper is to make some cash within the next few months. If that's your objective, why on earth would you want to begin with the hardest way?
And believe me, it is. Retailing is a lot of work and takes time. A lot can go wrong, especially for a beginner. You have to buy the house, raise the money, hire a contractor, and then the hard part--find a qualified buyer. If you attempt this without the proper training, I assure you you'll get those battle scars I mentioned earlier.
Take care of today's cash flow needs before worrying about getting rich.
Let's get the bills paid and get out of debt before we start building an empire. "I'll create a cash flow I can live on in my early days as a landlord." If you think this is the case, take a current landlord to lunch and ask him/her where all the money goes from rentals. You won't like the answer.
I suggest you wait. Learn the ropes before you take an ugly seminar. Give yourself a year to learn which components make a good "keeper." Find out how and where to buy properly. Get a feel for the business. If you don't, your education will come from all those investors who bought incorrectly and are trying to sell you their stupid mistakes.
You'll learn the ropes all right. Unfortunately, one might be tightening around your neck. This lesson holds true whether you retail a house or rent it. Both are good reasons for getting in the business, but neither is a good place to start.
Another solution is creating no-qualifying financing. Between these two you can literally do many times the deals you're currently doing and probably not need to generate any more leads.
The big money is in the art of creating Multiple Offer Strategies, not fixing houses. That's why you're shooting yourself in the foot every time you let a potential pretty house deal go by because you never learned how to capitalize on it.
Your job is to take information you get from the seller and create as many solutions as possible to solve his/her problems and create a profit center for you.
When you do this, you'll be in the top 1/2% of those who qualify as "transaction engineers." In the process you'll eliminate your competition. In fact, you could easily make 250,000 per year from their leftovers.
So, get out of the box and see yourself as an entrepreneur who truly understands the business, not just a rehabber or a landlord. I don't care how hard you work at the wholesale and retail business, you can never reach your full potential. You must expand your horizons to learn and practice the pretty side--the profitable side.
No matter how good you get with junkers, you'll never make more than 30% of your potential. There are three reasons.
The junker business revolves around low-price properties, while the pretty house business has no upper price cap. In fact, I prefer the higher prices. It just stands to reason when you deal in bigger dollars, more of them will be left over for you.
When you get paid from wholesaling or retailing, you get one check and you're out. Not true for lease options and no-qualifying financing deals. They create multiple streams of income that keep coming in, whether you're still out there working or not. You do the job once and get paid over and over.
There are more pretty houses than ugly ones.
Obviously, the part of the market that provides the biggest supply of houses warrants the most attention. When you learn to capitalize on the big supply, not just the uglies, your income will skyrocket.
Several years ago I discovered the rest of the story and took off my blinders. I'm only suggesting you do the same. It's just a marginal shift from what you may be doing now.
If all you want is a good income and you're happy in your comfort zone, then please don't let me disturb you. I'll allow you to settle with whatever failure rate you want. It's your life, your family, and the income you're willing to accept. At least you have the freedom of running your own business and you're the boss, right?
What the heck, you're making more than you did in your old job. When you get out of bed in the morning you're already at the office. No traffic hassles, no time clocks and no lay-offs. Look, you can convince yourself you're doing great. Maybe even your family and friends are fooled, but not this old war horse.
It may take a while to learn the business, but it's worth it.

There's another brunette on the farm.
The love of my life, Quill, greets me at the gate every day (his head is not as big as this picture makes it look).
Since it was becoming more obvious by the day that Quill the colt was becoming a giraffe and his gangly growing bones wouldn't be ridable until he was at least four, and mare Neela is hugely pregnant and then will be nursing for several months, we bought a sweet little filly named Mocha for me to ride.
She's a registered Quarter Horse, hailing from the Pidcock Coates ranch. We've had her for two months now and she has settled right in, although that took some doing.
Neela is the true matriarch of the herd but Yukon, Matt's gelding, is its staunch defender. He stands watch, literally, while Neela and Quill nap, and is always scanning the horizon for any potential threat.
After several days of saying hello over the fence, we introduced Neela to Mocha. All was fine–Neela pretty much ignored her. Then we introduced her to Quill, who was thrilled to have a new friend, although Mocha pretty much ignored him.
Those first few days, Mocha stayed as far from Yukon as possible.
But once we allowed Yukon to meet Mocha…well, the first few days were rough. She is still sporting a few bare patches where he got her. Afterward, clearly pleased with himself, he would strut.
Now, however, they are all a tight-knit group.
From left to right: Mocha, age 3, Yukon, age 8, Quill, nearly 2, and Neelal (with her baby belly!), who is almost 9.
And what "the boys" (Yukon and Quill) don't realize is that soon they will only be able to see Neela from a distance, because we will be separating the momma-to-be as she gets closer to her foaling date. Geldings and foals don't mix well.
Mocha, however, is another story. She's unusually laid back for one so young–she is only 3–so we'll be putting her in the pasture at some point with Neela and the foal.
The boys will then have to get used to be bachelors.

A simple concurrency manager for nodejs.  Basically this is to facilitate situations where you want to control the maximum number of async delegates that can be executed at any time for a single "concurrency key".

## Getting Started
Install the module with: `npm install conker`

## Examples
I have a remote API server, and want to ensure that I do no more than a maximum of 1 request at any given time, and subsequence requests should be queued until that point.
```javascript
var conker = new require('conker')({
  maxPerKey: 1
});

var concurrencyKey = 'some-api-identifier';
conker
  .start(concurrencyKey, function(callback) {
    myApi.doSomething(callback);
  })
  .then(function(result) {
    // Success!
  })
  .then(null, function(err) {
    // Fail :'(
  });

conker
  .start(concurrencyKey, function(callback) {
    // This request wont happen until the request above completes or fails, as our maxPerKey is set to 1
    myApi.doSomethingElse(callback);
  })
  .then(function(result) {
    // Success!
  })
  .then(null, function(err) {
    // Fail :'(
  });
```

Is the U.S Planning a Chemical Weapons False Flag in the Donbass?
EurasiaDonbassDonetsk
Pushilin Issues Urgent Statement
By Joaquin Flores Last updated Dec 19, 2018
The head of the DPR Denis Pushilin made an urgent statement on the preparation of provocations by the Ukrainians.
The DPR obtained new data confirming the preparation of the Kiev regime under the leadership of Western curators of large-scale provocations against their own people, which could lead to mass casualties.
The security services of Ukraine are planning to conduct sabotage on environmentally hazardous enterprises near the line of contact, followed by accusation of the crime of Russia and the republics of Donbass. These are primarily enterprises that use chlorine, ammonia and other hazardous substances in their production.
As another option, the use of chemical warfare agents allegedly released from the territory of the NPT is considered. There is evidence that the Americans have already prepared shell fragments treated with combat poisons to lend credibility to the accusations of the DPR and Russia.
I believe that the purpose of the provocation is the unleashing of hostilities in the Donbas and the abolition of the presidential elections in Ukraine, in which Poroshenko has no chance of winning.
The operation is coordinated by military attaches and personnel representatives of the US and British special services.
Western military intelligence officers, on the basis of a methodology worked out in Syria, have already painted an action plan for the Kiev regime.
Work is underway to create an analogue of Syrian White Helmets in Ukraine, which, according to the authors, should record the consequences of population poisoning and falsify videos that allegedly prove involvement in the anti-human actions of the militia forces and Russia.
We appeal to the world community, the UN, the OSCE and other humanitarian missions to prevent the unleashing of large-scale hostilities in the Donbas. We do not want innocent civilian casualties.
