Scottish Premiership champions Celtic have failed in their first attempt to sign David Turnbull with Motherwell rejecting bids both from the Hoops and Championship Barnsley in the region of £2m.
Teenage midfielder Turnbull is one of the hottest properties in Scottish football and a few hours after reports emerged of Celtic opening talks with Motherwell over their prized asset, the BBC reported news of two declined bids, one at £2m.
Revealed: Bristol City's stance on Josh Brownhill amid Brighton & Hove Albion, Sheffield United, Leeds United and Derby County interest
Bristol City have made an enquiry for the 19-year-old, who scored 15 goals from midfield for 'Well last season but it's unclear if the Robins interest extends far enough to justify a fee which will have to exceeds Celtic's offer.
Motherwell are demanding a club record amount, well in excess of the £1.75m Celtic paid for Phil O'Donnell in 1994, and a figure of £3m has been widely reported north of the border.
Speaking previously to BBC Scotland, Burrows said: "If anyone is wanting to buy David Turnbull, the fee would have to be significant. Not only because of his talent, it's to do with the contribution to the team.
"It would need to be a figure the club just couldn't refuse, and that's not going to be cheap. I would imagine it will set all sorts of records for this football club."
EFL confirms new rule preventing 'Spygate' repeat after Leeds and Derby controversy
Lee Johnson has excellent contacts in Scotland and Turnbull, who is under contract until 2021, would certainly appeal to the City head coach who is looking to add more quality in the final third for next season.
However, given his growing fee, with Motherwell now sparking a bidding war, and lack of experience both in first-team football beyond Scotland, Johnson may feel the transfer represents too much of a financial risk, especially with more pressing needs elsewhere on the field.
Turnbull had previously been linked with Celtic, City, Southampton, Derby County and Cardiff City but Barnsley's interest had not previously been reported.
In May, Turnbull claimed he would be open to a move but would be equally happy to stay put in North Lanarkshire given the prospect of reduced playing time at a Championship or Premier League club.
"If clubs come in and put a bid in for me, it's a sign that I'm doing well. But it won't be up to me," he said.
"If someone offers a lot of money, I'm the sure the club might want to take it – then maybe look at a loan back or something like that.
"Maybe if I was to go down south or to a bigger club, it would be harder to get in the team, let alone be one of the main players."

Traveller in the 3rd Dimension: DSL Ironworks Facebook group.
If you're interested, the home of DSL Ironworks on Facebook is moving to a new Group, as opposed to a Page. You can find it here - DSL Ironworks on Facebook. Basically, I decided on the move to a group to allow a bit more functionality, and as a place to consolidate all of the information for DSL Ironworks and this blog. I'll still be making occasional updates here, but most information will be coming out through either the DSL Ironworks blog or Facebook group. If you've been following me here (or just stumbled across me), I'd urge you to check out those two places. By way of celebration, I'll be releasing a few goodies through the FB group over the next few weeks. I hope to see you all there!

Procurement professionals: the frontline fighting modern slavery
by jamiebrennan | Jul 11, 2018 | News and Media
Professionals holding procurement jobs in Australia, from supply chain interims to permanent full-time employees, have an important piece of new legislation to contend with: the country's first modern slavery bill. Modelled on a law passed in the UK in April 2016, a similar bill has been introduced by the Australian Assistant Minister for Home Affairs, Alex Hawke.
The law seeks to eradicate the sale of any product in Australia that has involved any form of non-voluntary labour, including child labour, in the supply chain. Like its counterparts in Britain, France and the Netherlands, it obliges large organisations to regularly audit their supply chains from end-to-end. The legislation has also affected smaller firms in these countries, who have felt the pressure to clear their practice.
Any Australian organisation with an annual consolidated revenue in excess of $100m (approximately 3000 firms) will be obliged to publish annual reports, signed off at board level, on their endeavours to remove modern slavery from their supply chains.
Everyone working in procurement and supply chain job shares a unique position: they're ideally placed to stamp out modern slavery, spotting the subtle signs that could indicate dubious practices. Modern slavery tends to be more prevalent in conflict zones and unregulated sectors, especially where jobs are poorly paid and require few skills or no education. Extra vigilance is called for in these scenarios, especially for migrant workers, women and children who are the most vulnerable.
In a comment relevant to all procurement professionals, Fiona David, former Executive Director of Global Research at the Walk Free Foundation, said: "Procurement teams are on the frontline. They manage supplier relationships, they understand the business, the risks and the regions in which they operate. The indicators of modern slavery, being a grievous crime, is actually quite easy to identify, when you know what you are looking for."
She urged procurement and CSR teams to collaborate across sectors on tackling this issue, adding: "Companies can't compete on sub-standard ethical and criminal practices."

On Sunday, the Glens Falls Symphony dashed from the starting line in what will be a marathon season of exclusively Ludwig van Beethoven and Leonard Bernstein, celebrating the composers' 250th and 100th birthdays (in 2019 and 2018, respectively).
Opening the festivities was Beethoven's Overture to The Creatures of Prometheus, an intentional choice equating both composers to the Titan who stole fire from the gods and gave it to the humans, thus enabling civilization and progress.
Prometheus opens with a restrained theme but has a very unrestrained ending. It was interesting to watch, between timpanist Nicholas Tariello's as-quiet-as-humanly-possible playing (which I believe is much harder than playing loud) to the interplay between the players with leads and the orchestra that supports and urges them on.
Following was Beethoven's First Symphony, with its humorously deceptive key notations and a plethora of false endings that paint for me a picture of a daring young composer who is starting to have enough artistic security to take risks.
The first movement contains so many dominant-to-tonic leads that the augmented fourth near its end could be the greatest punchline ever ("Wait for it…"). The second is a playful volley that never spins away, with precisely crafted rests and note values. In the third, Beethoven shows why he's the master of variations, and the fourth movement brings us back around. Shout out to the violins and trumpets for their extremely delicate playing. Maybe I'll start my own Quiet Music Awards.
So, now on to Bernstein. I'll comfortably admit that I prefer Beethoven, as I guessed most people would. Well, I was wrong: His Symphonic Dances from West Side Story to open the concert's second half drew a standing ovation mid-program. It is a show stopper, calling for piano, harp, drum set, auxiliary percussion, more brass, more reeds, even parts for voice ("Mambo!"). It's visual in the way that musicals are; lots of key changes, varying time signatures, quick twists and turns, music that keeps up with the more visual ingredients in Broadway's triple threat: dance and acting.
After that demanding suite, the Overture to Candide to end was really a new beginning. "Pure joy," as Maestro called it.
I agree. To me, the piece's unrelenting parade of catchy, perfect figures was like listening to a carefully curated playlist of hits from one's formative years.
Candide and West Side Story are two examples of Bernstein's need for art to explore political and social issues. As such, the least his music deserves is a place in a dedicated season study, if not much more.
It must take diligence and deliberation to shape a full season dedicated to only two composers, and Sunday's concert was the evidence of the careful thought that Maestro Peltz has put into the celebration.

Heavy flavor physics continues to be a major area of study with new results from various experiments appearing almost daily. Studies of the charm and bottom quarks allow probes of CP violation, searches for new physics, exploration of new states and provide excellent tests of various theoretical models. I will present some of the latest results from heavy flavor physics that explore these interesting topics.

Rossi Risks 500,000 Euros On Development of Modular LENRs
Italian engineer Andrea Rossi is using the last of his personal savings to finance the construction of 100 LENRs of 10 kWt (kilowatt thermal) each and for advanced R&D on the device at the University of Bologna. When combined into one unit, the project is slated to supply Athens, Greece company Defkalian with 1 MW of heat energy. Rossi is unusual among inventors in insisting on using his own money to prove that his device works at industrial scale.
"I get paid (by Defkalion) only when the installation is delivered and if it works. I do not want people to spend any money until I have started and tested my one-megawatt plant," said Rossi.
So far he says he has invested 500,000 Euros in developing and building 100 reactors, of ten kilowatts each, that comprise the Athens plant. He also claims that more than a thousand reactors have been built and destroyed during the development.
According to Rossi, the capital used on the project derives from the sale of the Italian company Eon, which he founded in 2003....Rossi is now paying the remaining 500,000 Euros to the Physics Department of Bologna University, following a new agreement under which the university will help Rossi with the continued development of the reactor and studies of its physical phenomena.
According to the agreement, the work is led by the physicist Giuseppe Levi, who was the main observer when the 'energy catalyzer' was demonstrated to invited scientists and media in Bologna in January 2011. Giuseppe Levi also carried out a longer test of the reactor in February, lasting 18 hours.
"The 500,000 Euros I am paying to the University of Bologna is my last money, but when I deliver the one-megawatt plant to Defkalion I get cash back. From then on, 50% will be used for expansion and 50% to treat children with cancer. I will personally look for the children whose families cannot afford their care," said Andrea Rossi. _nyteknik
English transcript of a discussion with two eminent Swedish scientists who share their thoughts on Rossi's LENR device, including their impressions of their own interactions with Rossi himself. Both gentlemen are natural sceptics, and are withholding judgment on the ultimate fate of the device. Yet they agree that Rossi is not likely to be perpetrating a scam.
Typical scam artists will solicit as much outside investment as possible, without risking much of their own money. That is not how Rossi appears to be approaching this venture. Al Fin analysts will follow events as they become public.

Q: SQL Trigger to update row I need a SQL trigger that would zero pad a cell whenever its inserted or updated. Was curious if its best practice to append two strings together like I'm doing in the update command. Is this be best way to do it?
CREATE TRIGGER PadColumnTenCharsInserted ON Table
AFTER INSERT
AS

DECLARE
    @pad_characters VARCHAR(10),
    @target_column NVARCHAR(255)

SET @pad_characters = '0000000000'
SET @target_column = 'IndexField1'

IF UPDATE(IndexField1)
BEGIN
    UPDATE Table
    SET IndexField1 = RIGHT(@pad_characters + IndexField1, 10)
END

GO

A: Your padding code looks fine.
Instead of updating every row in the table like this:
    UPDATE Table

update just the row that triggered the trigger:
    UPDATE updated

Also, you've still got some extraneous code -- everything involving @target_column. And it looks like you're not sure if this is an INSERT trigger or an UPDATE trigger. I see AFTER INSERT and IF UPDATE.

A: Two questions:

*

*What are you doing with @target_column?  You declare it and set it with a column name, but then you never use it.  If you intend to use the variable in your subsequent SQL statements, you may need to wrap the statements in an EXECUTE() or use sp_executesql().

*The syntax "UPDATE Table..." is OK for your update statement assuming that "Table" is the name of the table you are updating.  What seems to be missing is a filter of some kind.  Or did you really intend for that column to be updated for every row in the whole table?
One way to handle this would be to declare another variable and set it with the PK of the row that is updated, then use a where clause to limit the update to just that row.  Something like this:
DECLARE @id int
SELECT @id = Record_ID FROM INSERTED
-- body of your trigger here
WHERE Record_ID = @id

*I like your padding code.  It looks good to me.

Q: Getting 'Error: socket hang up' when passing json from microservice over backend to frontend I'm working in a team project where we basically have three architecture parts.

*

*Angular Frontend

*Node.js backend

*Microservices in different programming languages

I'm trying to integrate my microservice (Python/Flask implementation) in the architecture with everything running on localhost. Basically I just want to hand on a json from 3. over 2. to 1.
These are the relevant Code-Snippets:
Microservice (Solver.py takes about 10 secs to solve and give json):
@app.route('/give-solution')
def give_solution():
    importlib.reload(Solver)
    return(Solver.jsonSolution)

Backend:
app.get('/pass-solution', (req, res, next) => {
    axios.get("127.0.0.1:5000/give-solution")
        .then((resultn) => {
          console.log(resultn);
          return res.status(201).json(resultn.data)
        })
        .catch((err) => {
          console.error(err);
        });
});

Frontend (.component.ts file of subpage)
this.http.get("127.0.0.1:3000/pass-solution")
    .subscribe(data => {
      console.log(data)
      this.outputString = JSON.stringify(data);
      this.outputJson = JSON.parse(this.outputString);
      this.outputTable = new MatTableDataSource(this.outputJson);
      });

When I try to access the json solution in frontend I get the following error:
Error: socket hang up

I can avoid the error by either passing the json directly from microservice to frontend or leaving out importlib.reload(Solver). So I guess it's just the waiting time for json response that the architecture can't handle. I've already tried to extend timeout, but this didn't help. I'm happy for suggestions!

Scholars at Risk partners with higher education networks in Europe and around the world to encourage even more institutions committed to academic freedom to engage in SAR's work and mission. Partner Networks involve a cooperation agreement between SAR and the 'Partner' that puts forward the following goals and objectives:
1. To reinforce the Partner by offering new activities and benefits to its existing institutional members;
2. To strengthen protection and promotion of academic freedom and related higher education values by increasing the number and variety of higher education institutions engaged in SAR activities, specifically by:
offering the Partner and its institutional members opportunities to participate in SAR activities;
encouraging them to participate in such activities, at their discretion, individually or in groups;
encouraging them to seek institutional membership in the SAR network, at their discretion;
coordinating services for the Partner and any institutional members that choose to take part in SAR partner network-related activities, including any joint projects which may be developed.
Networks of higher education institutions interested in exploring a partner network arrangement are invited to contact SAR and complete the printable partner network agreement.
National SAR sections
Major partner networks
To date, SAR has formed the following Partner Networks in Europe:
EUA-SAR Partner Network
With 850 members across 47 countries, the European University Association is the largest and most comprehensive organisation representing universities in Europe. 17 million students are enrolled at EUA member universities. As the voice of Europe's universities, EUA supports and takes forward the interests of individual institutions and the higher education sector as a whole.
In September 2015, Scholars at Risk and Magna Charta agreed to create a formal partner network including 802 universities in 85 countries.
UNICA-SAR Partner Network
UNICA is a network of 46 universities from 35 capital cities of Europe. Its role is to promote academic excellence, integration and cooperation between member universities throughout Europe. It seeks also to be a driving force in the development of the Bologna process and to facilitate the integration of universities from Central and Eastern Europe into the European Higher Education Area.
Compostela Group of Universities
Founded in 1993, the Compostela Group of Universities is an international nonprofit association that now consists of more than 60 universities in 27 countries. CGU seeks to strengthen the channels of communication between its member universities; organize events for the study and discussion of different issues related to international higher education; and promote mobility and collaboration between members as a basis for enhancing the knowledge of cultures and languages.
Communauté Université Grenoble Alpes
The Communauté Université Grenoble Alpes (COMUE) joined SAR as a partner network in January 2017. COMUE was formed in France in December 2014 and is comprised of six member and four associated higher education institutions. Its mission is to create a multidisciplinary research university with a high international profile and strong local connection that creatively serves society.
In 2012, universities, universities of applied sciences and universities of teacher education across Switzerland founded swissuniversities, a body dedicated to strengthening and enhancing collaboration among Swiss institutions of higher education and promoting a common voice on educational issues. swissuniversities also coordinates tasks and acts on the international level as the Swiss national rectors' conference for its 30-plus members.
Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences
The academies engage themselves specifically for an equitable dialogue between science and society, and they advise politics and society in science-based issues that are relevant to society. They represent sciences across institutions and disciplines. Established in the scientific community, they have access to expertise and excellence and can therefore contribute specific knowledge to important political questions.
Academy for Research and Higher Education (ARES)
As the federation of francophone universities in the Wallonie region of southern Belgium, ARES coordinates the activities of 127 higher education institutions. ARES supports the participation and development of its member institutions in their local and international collaborations by promoting the international visibility of higher education.
International Migration, Integration and Social Cohesion (IMISCOE)
IMISCOE is the largest European network of scholars in the area of migration and integration. The focus is on comparative research and publications, in the IMISCOE book series as well as in the journal CMS. The annual IMISCOE conferences is a key moment in the agendas of most migration scholars in Europe. In addition, IMISCOE contributes to the training of young researchers and their exchange throughout Europe. Also, IMISCOE plays an important role in the mutual dialogue between researchers and society (policy, politics, civil society).
European Students' Union (ESU)
The European Students' Union (ESU) is the umbrella organisation of 46 National Unions of Students (NUS) from 39 countries. The aim of ESU is to represent and promote the educational, social, economic and cultural interests of students at the European level towards all relevant bodies and in particular the European Union, Bologna Follow Up Group, Council of Europe and UNESCO. Through its members, ESU represents around 15 million students in Europe.

The importance of being on time from a self-confessed social tyrant
by Graham Adams / 09 July, 2017
Tired of friends keeping you waiting? Try the 10-minute rule, says Graham Adams… but you'll have to be staunch. And don't try it in Saudi Arabia.
They are words no self-respecting man wants to hear his girlfriend say: "You have an anger-management problem!"
It's even worse when you discover she has repeated the same damning assessment to mutual friends.
I began to imagine them whispering behind my back at parties: "He has an anger-management problem... who would have thought?"
"But it's always the ones who seem easygoing, isn't it? They're the ones who like to kick the cat when no one is watching..."
It would have been fine if that particular girlfriend had been more specific and said: "He gets really cross when I keep him waiting for 35 minutes for no particular reason," but that highly pertinent detail seemed to be omitted.
And it's true. If I'm left sitting in a cafe for 35 minutes waiting for someone to turn up I do get angry... but only after I have been buffetted by other emotions. I start by worrying that I've got the place or time wrong (or maybe both), then move on to fretting that I have the day wrong, before catastrophising and wondering that maybe she's had a car accident.
Then she'd turn up with a breezy, unconvincing apology for being late (and sometimes no apology at all), and I would be sullen at best or ropable at worst, which would lead inevitably to her announcing yet again in a solemn, patronising tone: "You have an anger-management problem. You really need to get some help."
Eventually, in frustration (and a nagging worry she might be right), I took her advice and went to see a counsellor. She was a wise old owl, who, thankfully, largely avoided mouthing the inanities that plague that profession, such as: "No one can make you angry... only you can allow yourself to be angry."
The counsellor thought that being kept waiting for more than half an hour was a perfectly good reason for becoming angry. It's insulting to be kept waiting, she said, because it nearly always implies that someone else thinks their time is a lot more valuable than yours. She had also been around long enough to appreciate the adage: "There's no point in getting older if you don't get a lot more cunning."
The perfect antidote, she said, was the 10-minute rule: simply advise friends or colleagues you'll wait for 10 minutes and, if they haven't turned up in that time, leave. It would have a marked and immediate effect on the perpetually late, she predicted.
I was sceptical it would work (and wondered if it would mean I would immediately lose my tardy friends) but decided to give it a go anyway – not least as a practical means of keeping my blood pressure under control and stomach ulcers at bay. I warned my friends that if they wanted to meet me, they needed to be on time but I would take no offence if they were unconscionably late because, after 10 minutes, I simply wouldn't be there to witness their belated arrival.
A few days later, when I saw my girlfriend's car hurtling down the road towards my house three minutes after the time we had agreed to meet, I knew the $75 that had gone from my pocket into the counsellor's had been well spent.
As the counsellor had predicted, the technique worked on all my friends (yes, I do still have friends), including the hitherto chronically tardy. I don't think for a moment this happy turn of events is because I'm such scintillating company they can't bear to miss a meeting with me. The more plausible reason, I have decided, is they don't want to waste their own time driving across town to find I'm not there, even if they would have previously been quite happy to waste mine.
When I thanked the counsellor for her excellent advice, she warned that, having announced I was implementing the 10-minute rule, the next, more challenging part was to be staunch. There could be no slippage, she said.
Consequently, I've found myself walking to my car with a friend driving alongside me, pleading from the window: "But I'm only 14 minutes late!"
I shrugged, and called back: "You know the rules! Let's try again next week!" And continued on to my car.
When others became mutinous, I would ask a simple question: "Would you be late for an interview for a job you really wanted?"
The answer invariably was "No", which gave me an opening to say: "Then treat me with the same respect."
Over the two decades I've run the 10-minute rule much has changed in social interactions, principally through the widespread use of mobile phones. But this technological marvel has been a mixed blessing. It means that someone who has suffered some mishap or disaster can easily contact me to tell me why they genuinely can't manage to arrive on time. On the other hand, it has also made many people think that calling to say they're "only 15 to 20 minutes away" after the agreed time to meet has already passed is a legitimate way of keeping friends waiting while being immune to recriminations.
It seems some people believe the advent of the mobile phone means last-minute texting, emailing or ringing to say you're going to be late somehow magically ensures you are no longer late at all.
Greg Savage wrote an article published in the Huffington Post last year called, "How Did It Get to Be 'OK' for People to Be Late for Everything?" He works in the recruitment industry and says it is vital to be on time to be taken seriously as a colleague and job applicant – a view encapsulated by the saying: "Punctuality is credibility."
One of Savage's many bugbears is colleagues sauntering into a business meeting 20 minutes late because they just had to get a coffee before they could settle to business. "Ten people kept waiting in a meeting for 20 minutes, while some selfish prat who idles his way via the coffee shop, is actually 20 minutes times 10, which is 200 minutes wasted. That is over three hours wasted. By you! How much has that cost the business? Shall I send you an invoice?"
It's true, however, that punctuality is not always seen as desirable. I have been tactfully reminded more than once that being invited to dinner at 7pm doesn't mean it's acceptable to ring the doorbell on the dot of seven. Which is where the notion of being "fashionably late" comes into play. This, too, makes Greg Savage cross:
"Why do people, invited for a dinner party at 7.30, think it's cool to arrive at 8.30? It's rude. It's inconsiderate. And it's selfish, as I witnessed in a coffee shop near my home one weekend. Three 'ladies who lunch' (a species not confined to, but heavily represented on, the lower North Shore of Sydney) were chatting loudly at the table next to me. One inquired what time the 'drinks do' was that night. The reply for all the world to hear was 'Oh 7.30, but we won't get there till nine because by then it will have warmed up and all the interesting people will have arrived.' Nice. Imagine if everyone took that view. Cocktail parties would start at 3am eventually."
It's equally true, of course, that what is expected of guests' punctuality varies hugely between cultures and what is considered rude in one country will be perfectly acceptable in another. In fact, social scientists divide the world into those cultures where time is seen as a linear progression like a ribbon or straight path ("monochronic" or "sequential") and those where time is seen as cyclical, best imagined as a loop or spiral ("polychronic" or "synchronic").
Monochronic cultures include northern Europe, Japan, Canada and, of course, the United States, where businesses run to a schedule, and time is viewed as a commodity that has a monetary value (reflected in phrases such as "time is money" and where it can be spoken of as being "wasted" or "spent"). A day's events are divided into discrete parts, with a specified time when to start and finish work as well as when it is permissible to take a break to eat. Meetings are governed by an agenda and goal-setting. Tasks are usually performed one at a time.
Typical of such attitudes to time-management is a separation between personal and work relationships, and concern with "work-life balance", since both components are seen as antagonistic.
Monochronic cultures can be further divided into those that require "absolute punctuality" and the "virtually punctual", depending on the degree of promptness expected. In Germany, Switzerland, Japan and Finland, it is insulting to be even a minute late to a business appointment, whereas in the US, Canada and Sweden it is generally acceptable to be up to five minutes late. You'll have a little more leeway – perhaps up to 20 minutes – in France, Norway and Belgium.
New Zealand and Australia are usually deemed to be monochronic – and, like the US, virtually punctual – although, as with any multicultural societies, there will be cultural groups that don't share the dominant attitudes to time-keeping.
Last year, I was asked directions in Auckland's CBD by a Maori man in a business suit on his way to a meeting. When I asked if he was going to be late, he laughed and said, "Hey! I'm on Maori time!"
Polynesian society is polychronic and Australian Aboriginals have complex notions of time in which the past, present and future entwine in the "Dreaming".
Groups that have different time-keeping rules often adjust to each meet others' expectations. An aid worker in Vanuatu told me recently that when he organised meetings with locals he was usually asked: "White-man time or black-man time?" Either was acceptable but both parties needed to know in advance which rules applied.
If "white-man time" was agreed on, everyone would turn up more or less punctually, he said, but "black-man time" could mean a wait of two hours or longer.
Together with South Pacific islands, polychronic societies include parts of Asia, Arab countries, Africa, southern Europe and Latin America, where time is seen as fluid and malleable. Relationships are seen as much more important than adhering to a fixed schedule, and business meetings may be interrupted by phone calls and people dropping by unannounced. They can be rescheduled and cancelled at short notice, too, without necessarily causing offence as they might in more monochronic cultures.
In Hispanic countries such as Cuba or Argentina, divisions are also not made rigidly between work and relaxation and evenings can stretch well into the night even for the very young and very old. In Havana, I once found myself in a car at midnight with a Cuban family that included an 80-year-old grandmother and a three-year-old child, as we drove around the city looking for a bar – behaviour that would seem extremely odd for middle-class New Zealanders. The driver was a middle-aged Mexican professor of chemistry who had to be at a seminar at nine the next morning but who seemed unconcerned that he likely wouldn't be in bed much before 3am.
Tourists can usually breeze through foreign countries without being particularly aware of different attitudes to time, but anyone who does business overseas has to come to grips very quickly with local attitudes to time-keeping, and how to decide what is acceptable or unacceptable behaviour. If you're late for a business meeting in Osaka or Bonn, for instance, it will definitely count against you, whereas in Riyadh or Lagos being a stickler for punctuality might be seen as faintly amusing or downright pushy.
In most countries, social occasions are treated differently to business meetings, even among those as determinedly punctual as the Germans – although the tolerance there would hardly be described as relaxed by most New Zealanders.
Ten years ago, when I was invited to a party held in a friend's apartment in Berlin to farewell one of the New Zealanders working at the Jewish Museum, I noticed the party had been set down for 7pm and every German guest had arrived by 7.10.
The 10-minute rule was unspoken but observed by everyone.
I could easily get used to living here, I thought. These are my kind of people.

Reclaiming the Narrative
Eenie Meanie Miney Mo IX. by Kenneth Steven
Exploring sexual power plays in Ismat Chughtai's short stories.
By Sana Hussain
"Chullu bhar paani main doob marna", which roughly translates to "drowning in a handful of water" is an Urdu proverb used to humiliate someone guilty of committing an utterly shameful act. This would also have been the expected response of most twentieth century Indian women, were a police officer to turn up at their doorstep carrying a summons announcing charges of obscenity against them. Most women aren't Ismat Chughtai. A warm milk bottle for her baby in one hand and the text of the summons in the other, Ismat Chughtai, with much derision and ridicule, dismissed the whole affair. Even the threat of being taken to the police station (a veritable scandal for any "respectable" family of the subcontinent) only made her relish the prospect of seeing a place she had always wanted to see. The episode concluded only after Chughtai, seeing both her husband and the police officer exasperated and exhausted, relented, and acquiesced to fill out the required paperwork but only after she had fed the baby. The police officer waited in the living room while she did.
Other than exemplifying the characteristic insolence and brazenness that would forever be associated with the writings of the feminist iconoclast, this incident reveals her inimitable talent of turning concepts of morality and respectability, social mores, and traditions, on their head. Being charged for obscenity by the government would have elicited a different response from someone other than Chughtai, but then Chughtai, much like her characters, excelled at subversion. Though the twentieth century literary world of the Indian subcontinent was not an especially welcoming place for women writers, Ismat Chughtai, fierce, passionate and strong-willed, triumphed over societal and cultural barriers to become a feminist icon in the Urdu literary world. She broke the culturally acceptable mould of a "respectable" Indian Muslim woman and inspired the future generation of women writers by fearlessly writing about taboo and unmentionable topics like women's sexuality, lesbianism and prostitution.
Chughtai's women emerge as strong and empowered characters, maybe not in the prescribed sense of the word but in the only way their circumstances and conditions allow them to be.
If being an educated and enlightened woman who chose to write wasn't a departure from tradition itself, the content of Ismat Chughtai's writings sealed her reputation as a nonconformist. Observing the vulgar intricacies of the Kafir-Musalmanti[i] relationship through the innocent lens of two young children, her short story 'Kaafir', questioned religious and cultural mores; something that earned her much ill will from her peers. She reflected the society's hate through the exchanges between a Hindu boy and a Muslim girl; their constant name-calling and prophecies of each other's damnation, indicative of how society conditions hate from an early age. Things change again after the two elope, even as they continue calling each other insulting names, along with statements like "I'll give you mehr[ii]! My salary is only slightly less than yours". Such overtly feminist ideas, no doubt considered heretical in most of India at the time, coupled with her intense disregard for religious and social dictums, and her unabashed directness about sex, sealed her reputation as a rebel in twentieth century India.
Sex is a recurring and unmistakable motif in Chughtai's stories. It is used by both men and women, to oppress and wield influence. 'The Homemaker' shows how women extract benefits by offering their bodies to men. The character of Lajo, a gamine who works from time to time as a maid in people's homes, and who acknowledges that her "body was her only asset" tactfully and convincingly makes a place for herself in Mirza, the male-protagonist's home, by catering to his sexual needs and playing to his oedipal tendencies. Mirza, a bachelor who was famous for squandering his money at brothels, is incredulous at the idea of keeping a "whore" in the house. Yet his many protests fall on deaf ears as Lajo determinedly takes over his home and kitchen and appoints herself as the mistress of his four walls. The morning after they consummate their relationship, Mirza appears abashed and coy, whereas Lajo is triumphant, having secured complete control over the house and the man who owns it. Again, in 'Terhi Lakeer', the protagonist Shama can feel the scales of power shifting as her cousin walks off with her bridegroom. Writes Chughtai: "But when the bridegroom started walking away with Noori, Shama had this feeling in some corner of her heart that Noori hadn't been sold, but that instead this man who had clasped her to his breast was about to place chains on his existence. This very Noori, this young experienced girl, will dig her claws into his beings in such a way that he will abandon the world, and handing her his reins walk on the path she chooses for him"[iii]. While sex and the use of a woman's body are the tools used to oppress and subjugate her, Chughtai's stories show women taking back some of the power and exerting it for their own benefit. Her women emerge as strong and empowered characters, maybe not in the prescribed sense of the word but in the only way their circumstances and conditions allow them to be. The needs of these women — monetary, sexual and emotional, drive the narrative of Chughtai's stories. This is reflected through the actions and words of many of her heroines in 'Ismat Chughtai Lifting the Veil' (Penguin Books India, 2009, trans. by M. Asaduddin). As in 'Vocation', the protagonist succinctly says, "Chastity is something that one woman trades for livelihood while another gives her life to protect. Eventually this is the trump card she uses at all critical moments."
Though her female characters occupy a central position in the stories, Chughtai does not romanticize them, nor are their relationships with men romanticized. The young teacher in 'Vocation' after being scandalized and passing many judgments on her neighbor, the sethani[iv], comes to a practical conclusion — that the sethani was doing what she had to in order to survive. Comparing the demands of each of their professions she thought, "The sethani tempted her clients with her get-up for the sake of livelihood. I also do the same — making myself presentable when I go to the court of my clients. The only difference was that my intellect was a squeezed out sugar cane while the sethani was a pitcherful of nectar. I sold my brain and she her body!" The relationships between men and women in these stories too, lack romance and idealism; Chughtai breaks the archetypes of the dutiful and passive wives, and presents marriage as a matter of physical and material convenience, without glorifying it as a sacrosanct union.
In fact, the institution of marriage in Chughtai's Indian subcontinent is perhaps the best perspective from which to observe the sexual and emotional power plays between men and women. The Nawab in 'The Quilt', treats his newly wedded bride like a piece of furniture that he has brought into the house, and ignores her emotional and physical needs and looks elsewhere to fulfill his own needs. In 'The Homemaker', Lajo too suffers from the same fate after she agrees to marry Mirza. Following her marriage, she loses her agency and influence; the charms and flirtations that Mirza once found endearing in his mistress, were now inappropriate and improper for his wife. Lajo, an experienced woman, might have perhaps predicted that marriage would curtail her freedom; though she was generous to a fault in loving Mirza, "the need for marriage totally escaped Lajo." The stories show how both Lajo and the Begum Jan are forced to adapt to a standard of morality and traditional values, while their men folk are free to carry on their sexual exploits without the fear of societal censure. Chughtai however, does not allow her heroines dissatisfaction and depression; both women find in themselves the courage to defy tradition and satisfy their desires. Begum Jan looks towards her maid servant Rabbo whereas Lajo also courts the mason's son Mithwa.
The Chughtai woman takes ownership of her own body, rejecting the customs and edicts to satisfy herself and get what she wants.
In stories like 'Vocation', 'The Quilt', 'The Homemaker', 'Touch Me Not', and 'Tiny's Granny', Chughtai questions why men are given the liberty to explore their sexual passions, whereas their female counterparts are forced to pretend that they are void of any desires. These prejudices, she points out, are not just perpetrated by men but by many women belonging to "respected" families as well. In 'Vocation', Chughtai exposes this fallacious conception through the character of the sethani whom the protagonist treats with disdain and contempt throughout and professes in the first line "I was sure she was a courtesan", and who turns out to be a member of her own "reputable" family in the end.
Chughtai's women are sexual beings, unashamed and aware of their desires and uninhabited when it comes to gratifying them. There are many layers to these characters and their actions. Complex and deep their desires and inhibitions, triumphs and predicaments, are presented by Chughtai in light of Indian culture. They are part of a patriarchal, conservative culture and to some extent also comply with its values; however, they rebel out of an unabashed openness about their own sexuality and their ability to recognize the double standards that exist in the sexual relations between men and women. The Chughtai woman takes ownership of her own body, rejecting the customs and edicts to satisfy herself and get what she wants. She expresses the desires and fantasies that until then remained unexpressed, while tacitly demanding equal rights and better treatment for herself. Perhaps not much different from the twenty-first century woman or the versions we aspire to be.

We'd rather hoped to have brought you a review of Double Fine's The Cave by now, but unfortunately Sega only made 360 code available before release. And then to make matters dumb, despite its release date being today, and its being out today on 360, the Steam version has seemingly been set for the incorrect date, and is locked until tomorrow morning. Having already completed it twice on the consolebox, I'm in the frustrating position of wanting to tell you wot I think, but completely unable to advise you as to the state of the PC build. So while I hope this might get someone's attention and have the Steam build unlocked for everyone, below I'll give you a couple of lines of impressions and tell you to cross your legs.
But don't get too worked up. As you may have seen from other published reviews of the 360 build, it's not doing too brilliantly, scoring around the 6/10 point. And that's fair. While The Cave is a lovely idea, it's a game that doesn't reach far enough in any direction, and ends up being stuck in the middle between all things.
It's first and foremost a side-scrolling platform game. And for the vast majority of the time you'll be traipsing your characters back and forth across the large levels, jumping holes, climbing ladders, screaming in fury when you can't jump off the ladder, finding yourself somehow back on the ladder, finally managing to escape the ladder, and getting stuck on a rope. You take three of seven characters, and assuming you're playing solo you control all three of them, individually. Each section of the Cave is a collection of puzzles, often using objects you find along the way, and it's perhaps in this that it shares a fraction of anything in common with an adventure.
In the end, the whole game feels like the puzzle interstitials in a fully-fledged puzzle platformer, the variation from the combat, or acrobatics. But it's just those puzzles, and too often they're not particularly interesting. (I'd say about half of the characters' areas are left very wanting.) It's by no means a terrible game, but it's one that falls short in any of the directions it could have taken.
I'm very hopeful that some of the worst issues with the 360 build won't be such an issue on PC. The controls are glitchy, and the animations – while lovely – flicker and skip. And the ladders and ropes – good grief, they're properly hateful. It's definitely suited to a 360 controller, but I'm intrigued to see if it can feel more natural with a mouse and keyboard. I'm also hopeful that improved resolutions will allow the murky colours and blurry backgrounds to better spring to life.
As soon as I can get my hands on the PC build and give it a thorough play, I'll bring you my final conclusions in a proper WIT.

Houston Grand Opera Moves 2021 Programming, Including Jake Heggie, Margaret Atwood, and Joshua Hopkins' Songs for Murdered Sisters, Online
Classic Arts News Houston Grand Opera Moves 2021 Programming, Including Jake Heggie, Margaret Atwood, and Joshua Hopkins' Songs for Murdered Sisters, Online
By Ryan McPhee
The remaining in-person events of the Texas company's 2020–2021 season have been canceled due to the ongoing pandemic.
As COVID cases continue to rise in Texas, Houston Grand Opera has made the decision that arts organizations around the country have rolled out over the past few months: to officially cancel its entire 2020–2021 season, with plans to resume performances in fall 2021.
The latest closure extension impacts two productions the company had planned in 2021: Missy Mazzoli and Royce Vavrek's Breaking the Waves and a presentation of The Sound of Music. Alternative programming for both titles will be announced later.
In the meantime, HGO has added some additional offerings to its digital slate, including a filmed version of the song cycle Songs for Murdered Sisters. The piece, which was originally scheduled to play in-person, is baritone Joshua Hopkins' musical response to grief after his sister Nathalie and two other women were murdered. Jake Heggie composed the music, set to poems by Margaret Atwood. James Niebuhr directs the filmed version, to be released online February 19, 2021.
Next month will bring The Snowy Day Project, marking a collaboration between the The Snowy Day team of composer Joel Thompson and librettist Andrew David Pinkney and documentarian Annalise Ophelian. Next May, director Lileana Blain-Cruz will helm a presentation of Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel, blending live performances and animations by artist Hannah Wasilieski.

Chinese name puts Family name first, followed by Given name. It is in the opposite order from English. When we meet someone at a formal setting especially for the first time, we call him/her with his/her family name, then followed with Mr./Mrs./Miss. For example, if someone is named Peng Wang, we call him 王 (Wang) 朋 (Peng) in Chinese, or 王先生(Mr. Wang) instead. If someone is named You Li, we call her 李 (Li) 友 (You) in Chinese, or 李小姐 (Miss Li) instead.

COMPLIMENTARY FIT EVALUATION
In-Studio Training
912 Thayer Ave , Suite 102
Silver Spring, MD 20910 | 240.641.5126
Client of the Month - May: Elisa Massimino
Elisa, we're so proud of you for winning our Client of the Month award! You've always worked hard, but the team was especially impressed with how you stepped up your virtual workouts in the face of the challenging time we are all living through right now. You're an inspiration to other clients, as well as to the team. Thank you for your hard work and keep it up, you're a rockstar!
How long have you been with Fitness Together, and how often are you working out with FT and outside of the studio during COVID-19?
I've been with Fitness Together for more than a dozen years--the longest I've stuck with any exercise program ever! The studio and trainers have become an important part of my life. I was worried that the COVID-19 shut-down would break my routine. But I've been training online now for weeks, and it's working great. I have two one-on-one sessions and one PACK class every week. I'm also getting out for socially-distant hikes about twice a week, which is something new for me. Plus an intensive 10-minute core workout that my college-aged kid designed for my husband which we do together on the days I'm not training with FT. I actually think I'm exercising more now than I did before the shut-down!
What are some of the results you've seen so far?
For me, the benefits have been amazing all along, and I notice them even more now that I'm older. I'm stronger than I was 15 years ago, have better balance, am staying hydrated (a big change for me), and have greater endurance. All the things I do in my daily life--climbing stairs, carrying heavy grocery bags, lifting my brother's young kids--are easier. And the benefits are not just physical. I am more resilient mentally and emotionally, which is particularly helpful now with all the pandemic-related changes to our routines.
What can you attribute mostly to your success so far? What hurdles did you have to get over in order to succeed?
A couple of things really helped me, especially when I was getting started. One was changing the way I was thinking about exercise. For me, it helped to think of investing in my health and fitness not as an indulgence but as a part of my job and my duty to others. I can't be a good leader, mother, daughter, sister, wife, or colleague if I'm not strong and healthy. So FT is a "must have" for me, not a "nice to have." That helped me justify to myself the financial and time investment. And the other is the sense of community I feel with the FT folks--trainers and even the other clients. I've had a lot of different trainers over the years I've been with FT, and it's amazing how terrific and interesting they've all been. I learn something different from each of them, and I feel like they're personally invested in my health and success.
What are some of your goals with FT moving forward?
I'd like to improve my cardio fitness, which has always been my weak spot. I'm thinking of starting to do some light jogging now that the weather's nice. I'd also like to make some small tweaks to my diet to include more fruits and vegetables.
Anything else you would like to share with others looking to hit their goals?
You can't hit goals if you don't set them. So that's the first step. I am also a big believer in looking for the bright spots--things that are working well in my life--and trying to replicate them in other areas. FT is one of my bright spots! I also think it's important to start small and be very concrete about goals. Sometimes big changes start with small tweaks to routine. And once you start seeing those results, you just want to keep going!

Q: Android market link in SMS I have tried via <a href="market://search?q=pname:com.google.zxing.client.android"
 but it is not working.
I have also checked in Google Android T-mobile G1 but it does not show me link.
How can i embed link of android market application link in sms?

A: Use the alternative Market URI format:
http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:com.google.zxing.client.android
That will be picked up by the SMS application and become clickable, assuming you don't apply any HTML formatting, as danilo mentioned.

A: You can't use HTML in a SMS. A simple market://-Link would be handled by Android, but apparently the default SMS application doesn't support linking it.
For your own phone, you could try installing an alternative sms app, but for other phones it will be difficult to get this working without additional software.
Best option would probably be to file an issue in the Android bug tracker and to ask the developers to fix this issue: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list

Effects of orthodontic mini-implant position in the dragon helix appliance on tooth displacement and stress distribution: A three-dimensional finite element analysis
Min Ji Kim, Sun Hyung Park, Hyeon Seong Kim, Sung Seo Mo, Sang Jin Sung, Gang Won Jang, Youn Sic Chun
Department of Dentistry
Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the stress distribution on the orthodontic mini-implant (OMI) surface and periodontal ligament of the maxillary first and second molars as well as the tooth displacement according to the OMI position in the dragon helix appliance during scissors-bite correction. Methods: OMIs were placed at two maxillary positions, between the first and the second premolars (group 1) and between the second premolar and the first molar (group 2). The stress distribution area (SDA) was analyzed by three-dimensional finite element analysis. Results: The maximal SDA of the OMI did not differ between the groups. It was located at the cervical area and palatal root apex of the maxillary first molar in groups 1 and 2, respectively, indicating less tipping in group 2. The minimal SDA was located at the root and furcation area of the maxillary second molar in groups 1 and 2, respectively, indicating greater palatal crown displacement in group 2. Conclusions: Placement of the OMI between the maxillary second premolar and the maxillary first molar to serve as an indirect anchor in the dragon helix appliance minimizes anchorage loss while maximizing the effect on scissors-bite correction.
