Q: How to read data serialized with Chronicle Wire from InputStream? Some data are serialized to an outputstream via Chronicle Wire.
Object m = ... ;
OutputStream out = ... ;

WireType.RAW                               //
        .apply(Bytes.elasticByteBuffer())  //
        .getValueOut().object(m)           //
        .bytes().copyTo(out)
;

I want to get them back from an Inputstream.
InputStream in = ... ;

WireType.RAW
        .apply(Bytes.elasticByteBuffer())
        .getValueIn()
        ???
;

Object m = ???; // How to initialize m ?

How to read my initial object m from in ?

A: There is an assumption you will have some idea of how long the data is and read it in one go. It is also assumed you will want to reuse the buffers to avoid creating garbage.  To minimise latency data is typical read to/from NIO Channels.
I have raised an issue to create this example, Improve support for Input/OutputStream and non Marshallable objects https://github.com/OpenHFT/Chronicle-Wire/issues/111
This should do what you want efficiently without creating garbage each time.
package net.openhft.chronicle.wire;

import net.openhft.chronicle.bytes.Bytes;

import java.io.DataOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import java.nio.ByteBuffer;

public class WireToOutputStream {
    private final Bytes<ByteBuffer> bytes = Bytes.elasticHeapByteBuffer(128);
    private final Wire wire;
    private final DataOutputStream dos;

    public WireToOutputStream(WireType wireType, OutputStream os) {
        wire = wireType.apply(bytes);
        dos = new DataOutputStream(os);
    }

    public Wire getWire() {
        wire.clear();
        return wire;
    }

    public void flush() throws IOException {
        int length = Math.toIntExact(bytes.readRemaining());
        dos.writeInt(length);
        dos.write(bytes.underlyingObject().array(), 0, length);
    }
}

package net.openhft.chronicle.wire;

import net.openhft.chronicle.bytes.Bytes;

import java.io.DataInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.StreamCorruptedException;
import java.nio.ByteBuffer;

public class InputStreamToWire {
    private final Bytes<ByteBuffer> bytes = Bytes.elasticHeapByteBuffer(128);
    private final Wire wire;
    private final DataInputStream dis;

    public InputStreamToWire(WireType wireType, InputStream is) {
        wire = wireType.apply(bytes);
        dis = new DataInputStream(is);
    }

    public Wire readOne() throws IOException {
        wire.clear();
        int length = dis.readInt();
        if (length < 0) throw new StreamCorruptedException();
        bytes.ensureCapacity(length);
        byte[] array = bytes.underlyingObject().array();
        dis.readFully(array, 0, length);
        bytes.readPositionRemaining(0, length);
        return wire;
    }
}

You can then do the following
package net.openhft.chronicle.wire;

import net.openhft.chronicle.core.util.ObjectUtils;
import org.junit.Test;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.net.ServerSocket;
import java.net.Socket;

import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;

public class WireToOutputStreamTest {
    @Test
    public void testVisSocket() throws IOException {
        ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(0);
        Socket s = new Socket("localhost", ss.getLocalPort());
        Socket s2 = ss.accept();
        WireToOutputStream wtos = new WireToOutputStream(WireType.RAW, s.getOutputStream());

        Wire wire = wtos.getWire();
        AnObject ao = new AnObject();
        ao.value = 12345;
        ao.text = "Hello";
        // write the type is needed.
        wire.getValueOut().typeLiteral(AnObject.class);
        Wires.writeMarshallable(ao, wire);
        wtos.flush();

        InputStreamToWire istw = new InputStreamToWire(WireType.RAW, s2.getInputStream());
        Wire wire2 = istw.readOne();
        Class type = wire2.getValueIn().typeLiteral();
        Object ao2 = ObjectUtils.newInstance(type);
        Wires.readMarshallable(ao2, wire2, true);
        System.out.println(ao2);
        ss.close();
        s.close();
        s2.close();
        assertEquals(ao.toString(), ao2.toString());
    }

    public static class AnObject implements Serializable {
        long value;
        String text;

        @Override
        public String toString() {
            return "AnObject{" +
                    "value=" + value +
                    ", text='" + text + '\'' +
                    '}';
        }
    }
}

Sample code
 // On Sender side
 Object m = ... ;
 OutputStream out = ... ;

 WireToOutputStream wireToOutputStream = new
 WireToOutputStream(WireType.TEXT, out);

 Wire wire = wireToOutputStream.getWire();
 wire.getValueOut().typeLiteral(m.getClass());
 Wires.writeMarshallable(m, wire);
 wireToOutputStream.flush();

 // On Receiver side
 InputStream in = ... ;

 InputStreamToWire inputStreamToWire = new InputStreamToWire(WireType.TEXT, in);

 Wire wire2 = inputStreamToWire.readOne();
 Class type = wire2.getValueIn().typeLiteral();
 Object m = ObjectUtils.newInstance(type);
 Wires.readMarshallable(m, wire2, true);

This code is a lot simpler if your DTO extends Marshallable but this will work whether you extend an interface or not. i.e. you don't need to extend Serializable.
Also if you know what the type will be you don't need to write it each time.

Welwyn Garden City hospital to increase parking
Simon Wesson
PARKING problems around the QE2 Hospital could be set to ease as a �250,000 plan to demolish a disused nurse accommodation block began.
Burnham House, which is located near the A&E department, has been empty of staff since July 2008.
Destruction of the building, which is scheduled to take two weeks, began on Monday and will create 60 additional parking spots by mid April.
Nick Carver, East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust chief executive, said: "In demolishing Burnham House, which has been disused for quite some time now, we will be able to increase the number of parking spaces available on the QE2 site, which we know will please our staff, patients and – hopefully – the residents of nearby streets, too."
The work is part of initial planning permission granted in 2005 for the building of the new Birch Court accommodation block, and includes the erection of fencing.

Managing Smartphone Interruptions
If you're sick of annoying smartphone interruptions, experts have developed a model that could lead to a better way to manage the flood of interference.
But smartphone manufacturers need to get on board.
The model developed by Rutgers researchers incorporates your personality traits in figuring out how you can handle interruptions and notifications without getting bent out of shape.
"Ideally, a smartphone notification management system should be like an excellent human secretary who knows when you want to be interrupted or left alone," said Janne Lindqvist, an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in Rutgers' School of Engineering. "We know that people struggle with time management all the time, so a smartphone, instead of being a nuisance, could actually help with things."
Currently, smartphone users can limit interruptions by turning off their ringers, but no system figures out when you want to receive notifications. "Preferably, your smartphone would recognize your patterns of use and behavior and schedule notifications to minimize interruptions," said Lindqvist, who leads a research group focusing on human-computer interaction and security engineering.
Studies have shown that inappropriate or untimely smartphone interruptions annoy users, decrease productivity and affect emotions, he said. So it's important to choose the right time to interrupt people.
Lindqvist began thinking about how to reduce smartphone distractions several years ago, so he and his doctoral students, Fengpeng Yuan and Xianyi Gao, conducted a peer-reviewed study: "How Busy Are You? Predicting the Interruptibility Intensity of Mobile Users." The pioneering study will be formally published in May at the ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems in Denver, Colorado. It's the premier international conference on human-computer interaction.
For their study, the researchers developed and evaluated a two-stage model to predict the degree to which people are interruptible by smartphones. The first stage is aimed at predicting whether a user is available at all or unavailable. The second stage gauges whether people are not interruptible, highly not interruptible, highly interruptible, interruptible or neutral toward interruptions, according to Lindqvist.
They collected more than 5,000 smartphone records from 22 participants at Rutgers University over four weeks, and they were able to predict how busy people were. That's important because people can respond to different kinds of interruptions based on their level of busyness.
In a first, the researchers used major personality traits to help predict how interruptible people were. Study participants took a standard test to see how their personalities aligned with the "Big Five" personality traits in psychological theory – extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism and openness.
In addition to building a model for interruptibility, the researchers studied the situations when participants' interruptibility varied. When participants were in a pleasant mood, they were likely to be more interruptible than if they were in an unpleasant mood, the study showed. The study also found that participants' willingness to be interrupted varied based on their location. A few participants were highly interruptible at locations such as health care and medical facilities, possibly because they were waiting to see doctors. But participants were reluctant to be interrupted when they were studying and, compared with other activities, were less interruptible when exercising.
Lindqvist and his team are working on next steps that could lead to smarter smartphone notifications.
"We could, for example, optimize our model to allow smartphone customization to match different preferences, such as always allowing someone to interrupt you," he said. "This would be something an excellent human secretary would know. A call from your kids or their daycare should always pass through, no matter the situation, while some people might want to ignore their relatives, for example."
"Ideally, smartphones would learn automatically," he said. "As it is today, the notification management system is not smart or only depends on a user's setting, such as turning on or off certain notifications. Our model is different because it collects users' activity data and preferences. This allows the system to learn automatically like a 'human secretary,' so it enables smart prediction."

Diversified Royalty Corp. Announces Second Quarter 2018 Results | Diversified Royalty Corp.
Vancouver, BC, August 9, 2018 – Diversified Royalty Corp. (TSX: DIV and DIV.DB) (the "Corporation" or "DIV") is pleased to announce its financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2018 ("Q2 2018") and six months ended June 30, 2018.
• Revenues of $6.8 million for Q2 2018 and $12.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
• Mr. Lube royalty rate on non-tire sales at flagship locations increased from 6.95% to 7.45% on May 1, 2018.
• Mr. Lube royalty pool increased from 117 to 118 locations on May 1, 2018.
In Q2 2018, DIV generated $6.8 million of royalty revenue and management fees compared to $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2017. Revenues of $3.8 million were generated from Mr. Lube Canada Limited Partnership ("Mr. Lube"), $1.0 million from Sutton Group Realty Services Ltd. ("Sutton"), and $2.0 million from the AIR MILES® licenses.
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, DIV generated $12.8 million of royalty revenue and management fees compared to $8.7 million in the prior year. The increase in revenue was driven by the incremental revenue generated from the AIR MILES® licenses, the increase in the Mr. Lube royalty rate, the net addition of one Mr. Lube location to the Mr. Lube royalty pool, positive same-store-sales growth ("SSSG") at Mr. Lube, and the contractual 2.0% increase in the Sutton royalty rate effective July 1st of each year.
SSSG for the Mr. Lube stores in the royalty pool was 3.2% in Q2 2018 and 3.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Sutton's fixed royalty increases at a contractual rate of 2% per year, which effectively represents 2% SSSG. According to Alliance Data Systems Inc.'s ("ADS") news release dated July 19, 2018, the number of AIR MILES® reward miles issued increased by 2% in Q2 2018 and ADS is forecasting growth in the number of AIR MILES® reward miles issued for the remainder of 2018.
ADS also announced in its news release dated July 30, 2018 that Samsung Electronics Canada Inc. has entered into an agreement to issue AIR MILES® reward miles to consumers in Canada when they use their AIR MILES® collector cards via Samsung Pay. This is a new and innovative way for collectors to earn AIR MILES® reward miles and enables the AIR MILES® program to accelerate the issuance of AIR MILES® reward miles to a growing segment of consumers interested in e-wallet transactions.
In Q2 2018, distributable cash was $5.2 million ($0.0488 per share) compared to $3.8 million ($0.0359 per share) in the second quarter of 2017. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, distributable cash was $9.8 million ($0.0915 per share) compared to $7.2 million ($0.0684 per share) in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to the incremental royalty income driven by the acquisition of the AIR MILES® licenses on August 25, 2017. The increase was partially offset by higher interest expense related to the convertible debentures issued on November 7, 2017, the $17.4 million term loan facility drawn on September 6, 2017 associated with the acquisition of the AIR MILES® licenses, and an increase of $7.0 million to ML Royalties Limited Partnership's term loan facility on May 1, 2018 in connection with the increase in the Mr. Lube royalty rate and the net addition of one location to the Mr. Lube royalty pool.
In Q2 2018, dividends declared exceeded distributable cash by $0.7 million, which resulted in a payout ratio of 114.0%. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, dividends declared exceeded distributable cash by $2.1 million, which resulted in a payout ratio of 121.6%. However, the Corporation has a dividend reinvestment plan that allows the dividends to be settled through a reinvestment in the Corporation's shares at the election of the shareholder. As a result, the payout ratio on a cash basis was 100.9% in Q2 2018 and 107.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The shortfall in distributable cash was funded by the proceeds received from the sale of the trademarks and rights related to the Franworks Franchise Corp. business (the "FW Rights") in November 2016.
The Corporation expects the payout ratio for the 2018 fiscal year, excluding the impact of the dividend reinvestment plan, to be in the range of 110% – 115% (on a cash basis, in the range of 100% – 105%), after taking into account the Mr. Lube royalty rate increase and the net addition to the Mr. Lube royalty pool.
Net income for Q2 2018 was $3.0 million, compared to net income of $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2017. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $5.7 million, compared to net income of 5.0 million in the prior year. The increase in net income was primarily due to higher income from operations related to the acquisition of the AIR MILES® licenses, offset by higher interest expense and income taxes.
Drew Keddy has resigned as President and CEO of Sutton effective August 10, 2018. Mr. Keddy has been President and CEO of Sutton for three years. Sutton has advised that Rick Taron, Vice President of Operations at Sutton, will manage Sutton until a new President and CEO is hired. Mr. Taron has been with Sutton for over 12 years.

If you look hard enough, you'll be able to find Easter eggs in just about any game, but this one in particular is unique, and it takes some elbow grease to unlock. It's hard to imagine how anyone ever figured this out in the first place unless they were tipped off by devs or something, it's just such a random series of events that unlocks it.
You'll need They Shall Not Pass, and then hop into the Verdun Heights map. You'll start off by shooting three wine bottles that are laying around near the fences, and then shift your vision to the skies because you've got to rip shots at 3 weather vanes.
If you look southward, you'll see three balloons starting to float up into the sky. The balloons represent the colors of the French flag, but they've also got a house attached like in the movie Up. The weather vane that the old man in Up uses to steer his house is the same as the ones you just shot.

Roanoke rallies to drop Thunderbolts, 3-2
Roanoke's Rail Yard Dawgs won the battle of Southern Professional Hockey League expansion teams Friday night, rallying for a 3-2 win over the Evansville Thunderbolts at the Ford Center.
Evansville took a 1-0 lead 8:28 into the game when John Scorcia scored off assists from Phil Bonner and Myles McCauley. The lead held up through the first period as Evansville held a 15-7 edge in shots.
But Roanoke was the team that applied the pressure in the second period, scoring three goals in a span of less than eight minutes to take control and earn its first win of the season. A power play goal at 11:15 by Michael Turner tied the score and then back to back goal by Steve Mele at 17:16 and 19:13 gave the Rail Yard Daws a two-goal cushion heading into the third period. Tyler Gjurich had assists on both Mele goals,
Mele's second goal also came off a power play.
Evansville (0-2-1) couldn't answer until Luke Sandler scored at 19:29 of the third period.
Roanoke (1-2-0) had a 42-35 edge in shots for the game, including 18-7 in the second period. Evansville goaltender Tanner Milliron had 32 saves, while Roanoke's Brandon Anderson made 40 stops..
The two newest members of the SPHL, both teams joined the league as expansion franchises earlier this year. The two teams will meet again at 7:15 p.m. Saturday at the Ford Center.

Some of her neighbours may disapprove of Caroline's thoughtless and reckless ways but, because of her considerable charm and genuine love for her children, they usually end up digging deep to help her out of trouble.
Alf is Caroline Arless's eldest son. He left school early to help provide for the family. Unlike his mother he is extremely honest and hard working. He is only a boy himself but is responsible for earning the majority of the family's money by working in the fields. It pains him to see his mother fritter his hard-earned pennies away.
Alf has a close relationship with the Timmins family – Laura is particularly special to him as they have grown up together and they are close friends. Alf is just starting to see their friendship as something more when Laura tells him she is leaving. Robert is also important to Alf, always keeping an eye on him and offering fatherly advice in the absence of Walter.
Alf is the bread winner of the family, working in the fields. His escape at the end of the day is to get his melodeon out and play some music.
"The sorts of things that Alf has to deal with are his mother's drink problem and the fact that she's terrible with money, terrible at putting any money aside for food and rent. She'd rather live very well today than plan for tomorrow and Alf has to balance that out and often got into trouble with her by hiding money around the house. When Caroline was sent to jail, Alf has to bring up the family on his own.
"He's very awkward around Laura because he's not emotionally mature to deal with what's going on. He assumed that they were going to end up together, because they've known each other from childhood and got on so well. It's what you did in rural communities, settle down and have a family. His dreams of that were taken away when Laura goes away to Candleford and meets new men in her life Phillip, Fisher Bloom and Daniel.
Minnie Mude Played by Ruby Bentall is Dorcas' hopeless housemaid. Lazy, dreamy and utterly unreliable, Minnie seems to cause havoc wherever she goes. But she is also loveable and has a desperate need to belong. Now she has a home and a surrogate family at the Post Office, Throughout Series 3 Minnie dreams that love with Alf might not be far away and in the final episode of the series Alf and Minnie finally start courting.
Rebecca Night attended Yarrells Preparatory School in Upton, Dorset where she took great pleasure in being a part of the annual musical productions, and later Parkstone Grammar School in Poole as well as Brownsea Open Air Theatre. Rebecca is a former member of the National Youth Theatre, where she appeared as Hero in Much Ado About Nothing. She graduated from Rose Bruford College in 2005, where she received critical acclaim for her performance in Patrick Marber's After Miss Julie; it was said that she put everything into her role."
She has also appeared in a number of TV adverts and short films.
Rebecca's most high profile stage role, to date, is in a West End production of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest. She has said that being in a Wilde play "makes you want to stand a bit taller, and it's nice getting to play dress up and be kind of refined. But it's also nice to leave it all behind, at the end of the day, to be able to put on your trainers and jeans." She has appeared in the TV dramas: Wuthering Heights as Catherine Linton, Caught in a Trap as Becci and her most famous as the lead in Fanny Hill.

Twenty years ago, gay marriage was illegal and Snapchat did not exist. Despite radical changes in societal views on sexuality, Ontario's minister of education announced Wednesday that students will now be taught sex-ed using the 1998 curriculum instead of the curriculum updated by the Liberal government in 2015. This means that Ontario's children and youth heading to school this September will be getting their sex education from a curriculum two decades out of date. Our government is demonstrating they're more comfortable with kids learning outdated sexual health information than with the basics of LGBTQ+ inclusion.
The repeal of the sex-ed curriculum is dangerous. The hashtag #sexedsaveslives has emerged on Twitter as a result of outraged citizens expressing their shock and dismay.
Johnstone: Here's why attacking the sex-ed curriculum is so misguided Back to video
In revoking the updated curriculum, our government is demonstrating that it is entirely comfortable catering to the demands of a small but vocal minority of Ontarians who are opposed to the very concept of comprehensive sex education, let alone sex education that includes LGBTQ+ communities.
Abraham: On Doug Ford, let's stick to the facts
McDougall: Premier, it's too late to try shutting down Indigenous studies
Editorial: Ford's focus, for now
Reevely: As throne speech calls for unity, Tories face task of leading Ontario, not just their supporters
Poll results: Doug Ford's Progressive Conservative government leaves readers divided
Over the course of the past few months, as we saw Doug Ford ascend to leadership of the Progressive Conservatives, then to the premiership of Ontario, his party has hidden behind rhetoric that the 2015 sex-ed update was enacted without sufficient parent engagement and was driven by liberal ideology rather than evidence. This rhetoric is categorically false and intended to do nothing more than shore up party support among social conservative factions, at the cost of Ontario's children and youth.
Despite this PC rhetoric, the current curriculum was reviewed by more than 4,000 parents from communities across Ontario, 2,400 educators and other stakeholders, and 700 students. Furthermore, 140 organizations, including Children's Aid Societies, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, the Ontario Physical and Health Education Association, the Ontario Healthy Schools Coalition and the Institute for Catholic Education were all consulted in the 2015 update. Parents, youth and experts were consulted in the 2015 update. Saying otherwise is downright dishonest and represents a political agenda prioritizing social conservative voters at the expense of LGBTQ+ children.
On the claim that the sex-ed curriculum is driven by liberal ideology rather than evidence, you'll note that while making that claim, the conservatives never actually articulate what aspects aren't evidence-based. Is it the information on healthy relationships, online safety, cyberbullying or the dangers of sexting? Or is it the education on LGBTQ identities and families? I'll bet the latter.
The statistics are dire: forty-seven per cent of trans youth have seriously considered suicide within the past year, and 19 per cent have attempted suicide. This isn't because of their identities, but because of the homophobia and transphobia that is all too common in their schools, communities and even their own families.
We have a crisis on our hands. Our LGBTQ children and youth are struggling with significantly higher rates of substance use, self-harm, homelessness and abuse. In 2015, we did what was right and took steps to ensure all children and youth have evidence-based education on sexuality and gender diversity. By revoking this update, our current government is sending a clear message: It cares more about placating social conservative radicals than about the lives of LGBTQ kids.
If we, as Ontarians, want to make our province a safer space for diverse communities, if we want to hold true to evidence-based education, we need to fight for inclusive, comprehensive sex education. Our children and youth deserve better. This fight isn't about ideology; it's about protecting the health and well-being of all our kids.
Fae Johnstone (she/they) is a trans community organizer and sexuality educator. She is a young professional in the sexual and reproductive health field with a background working with provincial and national non-profits focused on LGBTQ youth and child and youth mental health.

A demonstration will be held Sunday, July 15 at 1 p.m. at the Human Rights Monument on Elgin Street in support of saving the sex-ed curriculum.

New National Plant Collections on allotments
Allotments are taking centre stage as locations for new National Plant Collections (NPC) according to horticultural conservation charity Plant Heritage.
This autumn, five new NPC have been awarded, held all or partly on allotments in Warwickshire and Kent.
Nestled between a variety of fruit and veg plots, Andrew Gladman from Binswood Allotment Society in Warwickshire holds collections of Kniphofia and Echinops on his allotment in Leamington Spar. This Kniphofia (red hot poker) collection is the result of Andrew's passion for these plants and has been granted the status due to its size (the allotment has 149 different types). Andrew was shocked at the decline of Kniphofia over the years and that those available now are just over a fraction of the 1,000 cultivars ever bred and named. He aims to spread the word that Kniphofia are at risk and to see more planted in gardens across the country.
Andrew has always grown Echinops (globe thistles) but again was troubled to learn that they too were at risk of being lost to cultivation. Following extensive research and finding that almost all Echinops could be reproduced from seed, he now grows 11 species and 12 cultivars on his allotment.
In the Garden of England there are more allotments home to collections including Julian Reed's collection of ferns. Sevenoaks based Julian has been awarded NPC status for his collection of Polystichum, or shield ferns – which is held over two sites – his allotment and garden.
Also in Kent are Adrian Thorne's newly accredited Actaea and Veronica (Parahebe) collections – held partly in his own garden, but with all his collection's back-up plants held on his allotment. Adrian's Veronica (Parahebe) collection was born out of his passion for the plant, now classified under Veronica. With its six species and 21 taxa it is now the largest of its kind in the UK.
Vicki Cooke, Conservation Manager at Plant Heritage says: "There are a handful of National Plant Collections held on allotments across the country, but as they're not the obvious location choice for a collection they're often overlooked. These five new collections reinforce that you don't need a garden or large plot of land to hold a National Plant Collection, and that a variety of plants from iconic red hot pokers to understated ferns can thrive on allotments. We hope this encourages more people to start thinking of places that they could hold a National Plant Collection, whether on an allotment, a community garden or a school."
There are now 695 Plant Heritage National Plant Collections, found in a range of locations from living rooms and balconies to conservatories and private gardens. To find your nearest collection, visit: www.plantheritage/org.uk/national-plant-collections.

Just a little over a month to go before our fifth annual flagship conference, XSITE 2013 (Xconomy Summit on Innovation, Technology, & Entrepreneurship) at Babson College. The date is June 19, the theme is "Boston's Tech Revival," and the agenda is here.
You can still register for the event (be sure to note our student and startup rates, if they apply).
I'm pleased to tell you about a few more high-profile speakers who will be joining us.
—Jeremy Hitchcock, the CEO and co-founder of Dyn, is speaking on the "Founders' Stories" breakout panel that also features Diane Hessan of Communispace and Mike Baker of DataXu. I'm sure Jeremy has some pretty good stories about bootstrapping Dyn to profitability with the rise of the Internet.
—Jason Jacobs, the CEO and co-founder of FitnessKeeper (RunKeeper), will also join the "Founders' Stories" panel. Jason brings a consumer/mobile and healthtech perspective to the discussion. This session is always popular, as it features founders of top companies being brutally honest about the challenges they've faced in building their businesses.
—Meredith Flynn-Ripley, the CEO of HeyWire, will speak on a plenary panel moderated by Olin College President Rick Miller. Called "Serial Entrepreneurs Club," the discussion will touch on the need to innovate across sectors such as mobile tech, big data, social marketing, and sustainability. The other panelists are Ash Ashutosh from Actifio, Roy Rodenstein from TrueLens, and David Berry from Flagship Ventures.
—Bob Frankston, a member of CommonAngels and co-creator of VisiCalc, will talk about the interplay between opportunity and innovation. Let's just say Bob has some provocative views on existing models of tech and business innovation, and how things can be done very differently for the betterment of society.
—Sarah Hodges, co-founder and managing director of Intelligent.ly, will talk about the state of talent and training in the Boston-area innovation community. Sarah has her finger on the pulse of education for students, young entrepreneurs, and transitioning executives, and she has some important suggestions for how New England companies can develop their talent base.
—Naomi Fried, chief innovation officer at Boston Children's Hospital, will join the healthtech breakout entitled "Clinics, Corporations, and the Cloud." The rest of the health IT panel includes Jeremy Delinsky from Athenahealth, Chris Boyce from Virgin HealthMiles, and John Walsh from CareCloud. Naomi will bring a much-needed perspective from the hospital side to the discussion of emerging technologies and business models aimed at improving healthcare.
—Our "startup Xpo" will feature about 10 seed-stage (or earlier) companies that we are hand-picking for their diversity of approaches and sectors. Emceeing the session will be Meredith McPherron, director of the Rock Center for Entrepreneurship at Harvard Business School. Meredith helped change the face of the HBS business plan competition this year, and she brings a fresh perspective to startup strategy in the Boston area (and beyond).
The full agenda is still evolving, and we'll have more speakers to add, but I wanted our readers to see what's in store for XSITE on June 19. It should be a fantastic rallying point for people who want to shape the future of Boston-area technology and business. We're looking forward to seeing you all there.


Aberdeen is set to become Scotland's first gigabit-speed fibre broadband city following an extended partnership between Vodafone and CityFibre to introduce a gigabit-capable full fibre broadband network under the two companies' fibre to the premises (FTTP) programme. CityFibre will invest at least £40 million of private funds in the city-wide roll-out, after which nearly every home and business will be able to access to gigabit-speed broadband.
Saudi Telecom Company (STC) has chosen Corning's optical solutions for the expansion of its national network for high-speed connectivity and fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) applications.
The agreement builds on the existing relationship between the two parties, which has seen more than 1.5 million kilometres of optical fibre supplied across the provider's network. The companies are additionally collaborating to develop a program of advanced technical training to STC fibre engineers and technicians.
Deutsche Telekom and utility company EWE plan to set up a network sharing joint venture that will spend €2 million to connect more than one million private households directly with optical fibre – and have signed a declaration of intent to that end.
Calling it "a major step toward the gigabit society in Germany", the pair are planning to expand their fibre-optic networks in Germany's northwest region, and directly connect households to it using FTTB and FTTH. If the venture receives regulatory approval, operations scheduled to begin in mid-2018.
Vodafone Group and multimedia company NOS have signed an agreement to deploy and share a fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) network that will reach around 2.6 million homes and businesses in Portugal. The partnership also covers mobile infrastructure, including at least 200 mobile towers.
The two companies will provide reciprocal access to each other's networks on commercially agreed terms while retaining the freedom to decide how to provide retail services to customers.
Vodafone plans to invest about €2 billion over the next four years to provide around 13.7 million new gigabit broadband connections to homes and businesses in Germany, its biggest European market.
Under the Gigabit Investment Plan, Vodafone Germany will target 100,000 companies in around 2,000 business parks, one million homes in rural areas, and 12.6 million cable customers.

A new Marel processing line has been installed at Shanghai Hi-Chain Foods' salmon processing facility near Shanghai.
The project is a watershed installation for Marel in China, as it is the country's first automatic processing line for salmon.
The plant produces up to 30 metric tons of salmon products per day and the Marel installation includes filleting, trimming, pinbone removal, skinning, portioning and slicing equipment. Shanghai Hi-Chain Foods also processes tuna, king crab and other seafood.
In recent years, Chinese salmon processors have increasingly sought out hi-tech processing equipment in order to improve performance and food safety, to raise yield and to reduce costs.
This project began after Mr. Li, General Manager of Hi-Chain, attended the 2016 Salmon ShowHow in order to find out more about what Marel could offer in terms of advanced salmon processing technology.
The showhow is held in Copenhagen each year and invites salmon processors to experience Marel's equipment and software first hand in a simulated processing plant environment.
Mr. Li was especially interested in Marel's filleting lines, which he saw for the first time at the showhow, and he left the event convinced that Marel could help Hi-Chain produce superior quality salmon products for its customers, whose demand for quality keeps growing.
A deal was made and the equipment was installed in August 2017. During the start-up phase, Marel provided training to Hi-Chain employees.
Training is an integral part of Marel's service, especially when a facility is taking such a big step in terms of automation, and both Hi-Chain and Marel made every effort to ensure that both the factory and employees were prepared for the installation.
The installation marked a shift in the nature of many of the jobs at the factory and Marel's local service engineer in China, along with its service engineers from Denmark, were in close contact with Hi-Chain from the start, to answer questions and assist with troubleshooting.
The Hi-Chain plant has been fully operational since the end of August 2017.


The building is situated nearby a mountain lake and is configured with two major volumes, taking advantage of the natural form of the site, which presents two major level drops intercalated with two approximately flat areas: one volume that houses the rooms and reception, and the second volume that contains living and dining spaces, the restaurant kitchen and and technical spaces, both volumes are thus articulated as to exploit at maximum the geometric configuration of the land, orientation and views the site has, considering the insertion in site and how the building creates a dialogue with the environment.The first volume, which houses the rooms is located one level below the access on site, providing on the roof the necessary platform for parking. Thus arranged, the volume is in an undergroundground position (considering the access level), leaving intact the natural image.The second volume speculates the steep slope towards the water and is located under the first volume, conceding thus an extension of the green yard space, enabling the opening to the view of all the accomodation spaces.The building is maily finished using site-specific materials, related to functions, the accommodation is clad in wood while the living and dining zone is covered in stone at the exterior.The construction is taking advantage of the nature of the land revealing minimum of surface, the exterior skin is mainly covered in ground, except the glass surface through which you can admire the lake.

Where's Rodney Superfund Site
Frelinghuysen Superfund Reality Tour: Where's Rodney in Pompton Lakes and Byram?
Local citizens and environment groups will come together on Tuesday to highlight Congressman Frelinghuysen's failure to fund the Superfund program and address toxic sites in his district.
The groups will discuss the desperate need for Congress to increase rather than decrease funding for the Environmental Protection Agency and its Superfund program, which are both under threat by a 30 percent cut in President Trump's budget. Ahead of the Congressman's annual tour of Superfund sites in his district, citizens will focus on the need for a thorough cleanup at the former DuPont munitions facility in Pompton Lakes and at the Mansfield Bike Trail Superfund site in Byram.
The Mansfield Bike Trail is an orphan site that relies on Superfund funding because there is no responsible polluter. The cleanup plan at the Byram site is currently being finalized, but may not move forward if funding isn't secured. The Pompton Lakes site has not been designated a Superfund site, but it poses a serious enough danger to public health that it should be; the Congressman could use his influence to get the site placed on the Superfund list.
Every year, Congressman Frelinghuysen tours Superfund sites and talks about his concern for the environment and public health. However, in reality he voted against the Superfund tax on the chemical and fossil fuels industries that funded the program until the mid-1990s and is so far going along with the current administration's efforts to roll back EPA funding in general.
Pompton Lakes Toxic Site Press Conference
WHEN: Tuesday, September 12th at 11:00 AM
WHERE: 333 Terhune Dr, Wayne, NJ 07470 at Terhune Memorial Park
WHO: Citizens For A Clean Pompton Lakes, New Jersey Sierra Club, BlueWave NJ, Environment New Jersey, NJ 11th For Change, Clean Water Action, and other organizations
The Terhune Park is located in close proximity to the dredging currently taking place at Pompton Lakes where pictures and videos can be taken.
The former DuPont munitions facility in Pompton Lakes and Wanaque contaminated the area with mercury and other pollution. The DuPont facility, operated from 1902 until 1994, made blasting caps, metal wires, and aluminum and copper ammunition shells the United States used in the two World Wars and other military conflicts. Areas surrounding the Acid Brook Delta have experienced a toxic plume that has impacted more than 450 homes. The mercury from this site has already impacted public health for nearby communities. This contamination also puts fisheries and the the water supply for one million people at risk. The EPA previously approved a $43 million to remove more than 130,000 cubic yards of contaminated sediment, but we are concerned without funding there will be no money to conduct this work or remove the additional hot spots in the ground.
Byram Mansfield Trail Superfund Site Tour & Press Conference
WHEN: Tuesday, September 12, 1:30 p.m.
WHERE: 19 Stanhope Sparta Rd, Stanhope, NJ 07874. Trail entrance can be accessed immediately after passing Lenape Valley Regional High School (traveling north) on the first left (as well as the second left which provides access to the trailhead via a small bridge). Parking is available at the trailhead, along the bridge, and the access road.
WHO: Scott Olson, Byram Councilman & Superfund CAG Member, Environment New Jersey, New Jersey Sierra Club, BlueWaveNJ, NJ 11th For Change, Clean Water Action
Event will begin with a tour of the site, along the access trail, which has visuals of the old tranches used for the dumping, current EPA test wells, as well as a EPA trailer. The tour will proceed for a quarter mile through the woods until the main tranch along an open power-line corridor where the pollution then migrated into local groundwater.
Mansfield Trail Dump: The site, which is considered orphaned under the Superfund program, consisted of several waste-disposal trenches in a wooded area near the Mansfield Bike Path that were used for local dumping. The contaminants of concern are TCE and other VOCs. TCE has migrated from the dump area to residential drinking water wells, indoor air, and sub-slab soil gas. In 2005, government sampling of 75 private wells along Brookwood and Ross Roads in Byram Township found that 18 of the residential drinking water wells were contaminated. Site status: EPA's waste source and residential well sampling confirmed the presence of TCE in on-site sludge and the residential wells. EPA is currently conducting a remedial investigation and feasibility study (RI/FS) to define the nature and extent of contamination. The Record of Decision for the site is supposed to be released by the EPA this month.

New Zealand Labour plays God - Destiny Church
Thursday, 27 June, 2019 - 10:15
"God is dead. Long live the new god," is the new positioning from the radical left political community under the Labour Party led New Zealand Government - it is one that is accountable only to themselves and their ideologies, and which is overnight attempting to change and control all aspects of New Zealand's traditional way of life.
We have appalling suicide rates, but Jacinda Ardern wants to make it easier to die. -Child mortality rates in New Zealand are higher than in most high-income countries, but retail abortion is on the table.
If that wasn't bad enough, it's now okay for the 'state' to indoctrinate children - whose brains, as science shows, will not mature until the age of 25 - that they can make their own decisions about their sexual identity. Not only that, they can choose from more than --70 gender identities (as if they weren't confused enough already).
There is a pattern to their agenda. Your choice to die. Your choice to abort your baby. Your choice to be male or female. In the Bible, in Judges, God tells us that, "Everyman did what was right in his own eyes".
But we know that all humans have managed to do throughout history is make a mess of everything. Once a country led by God's Word and a strong sense of morality, of right and wrong, is now under serious threat at the hands of Jacinda Ardern's cabinet and the secretive agenda of the radical left in the Labour Party.
And you dare not say different because any common sense or moral opposition is defined as 'hate speech'.
History tells us that the way of totalitarian governments is to silence critics with the threat of imprisonment (hate speech legislation is coming) or beatings by bullies - except these days the bullying takes place on social media.
We read that a student in the United Kingdom was thrown out of the classroom because he dared to express the view that in terms of biology - in other words hard science - there is only male and the female sex. In Australia, Israel Folau has not only lost his livelihood for expressing his Christian views, he is being actively stopped from trying to defend himself in a court of law by the likes of GoFundMe, the media and 'denial of service' hacking attacks on his website.
Pinterest has banned pro-life group Live Action. In New Zealand, teachers are being directed by the Ministry of Education to websites like Minus18 and the Safe Schools Coalition that say opinions not favourable to the trans-gender and homosexual community is a form of violence.
Destiny Church's Facebook and other social media are constantly bombarded with haters trying to silence our moral and common-sense message. These are examples of the excessive levels of intolerance practised by the radical left. How is any of this democratic? Or in any way reflect the traditional values of fairness, justice and freedom that personify the traditional New Zealand way of life?
What was once in the hands of God has now been snatched by the hands of the radical left whose ideology is that God is dead, and they will now play god by actively taking power over life and death for themselves. It is clearly a deliberate attack on the morals that have defined New Zealand's way of life. In particular, the sacredness of life - if we can't value life, what's left?

A: Yes, as required by New York State we are a licensed real estate broker, license #10491207645.
A: Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency response to our residents and owners.
A: We provide direct deposit for all owner funds via EFT on or before the 15th of each month.
E-check via their online tenant portal.
Credit card via their online portal.
With cash at any CVS pharmacy via PayNearMe service.
Q: What happens if a tenant doesn't pay rent?
A: Rent is due on the 1st with a 2-day grace period, and is considered late on the 4th and the tenant is personally alerted via phone and email. If rent has not been paid by the 5th-8th of the month, the tenant is contacted again to be notified that they will be served a state-required "3-Day Pay or Quit", and if they do not pay in that period they may be evicted.
Whether or not we proceed with a formal eviction depends on the specific circumstances of the tenant and in agreement with our owners, but we always proceed with the legal notices required for eviction regardless of any other factors.
A: We typically sign minimum 12 month leases unless directed otherwise by owner.
A: For most tenants, we require 1 month's rent plus additional deposits for pets. For applicants with questionable credit, we may require an additional deposit.

Border Dispute
War is not the way to solve problems between countries, says Sushma Swaraj
The external affairs minister said terrorism and peace talks cannot go together.
External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj | IANS
External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Thursday said war is not the answer to solve problems between countries, ANI reported. Swaraj was replying to the Opposition's queries on India's foreign policy and relations with China, Pakistan and Nepal during a Rajya Sabha session.
"War is not the way to solve problems between countries," she said. "You need peace talks to restore balance even after a war." Swaraj said Pakistan-occupied Kashmir is an integral part of India. "Entire Kashmir is ours," she added.
Talking about foreign relations with Pakistan, she said, "We had created roadmap of peace and friendship. But things can't work just one way. Terrorism and peace talks cannot go hand-in-hand."
On India-China relations
On the ongoing standoff with China, Swaraj said India will not negotiate on the border issue at Doklam. "We are talking about bilateral relations with China. That is the only way to find a solution," she added.
She said there had been no discussions on the tri-junction point in Bhutan since 2012. "Chinese action in Doklam area is therefore of concern."
New Delhi will continue to find a mutually acceptable solution with Beijing through the diplomatic channels, she added. "We will also continue to maintain close consultation and coordination with the Royal Government of Bhutan," she added.
China's Deputy Chief of Mission Liu Jinsong on Thursday asked India to withdraw its troops from Doklam plateau or be ready to "face serious consequences", reported The Hindu. "The crossing of the boundary line by Indian troops into the territory of China using the pretext of security concerns for a 3rd party (Bhutan) is illegal," he told reporters in New Delhi.
On bilateral relations with Israel, Nepal
Swaraj said in the last 17 years no Indian prime minister had stepped foot in Nepal. "Out of those 17 years, the Congress government was in power for 11 years."
Commenting on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent visit to Israel, Swaraj said, "Israel is our friend but we will always support Palentine's cause. That is our promise."
The Union minister also claimed that the success of the Modi government's foreign police can be measured by the fact that both the United States and Russia had extended support to India.
Anand Sharma targets Modi's foreign visits
Earlier, Swaraj had promised to respond to every question put to her regarding the country's foreign policy, NDTV reported. Swaraj also clarified that she, and not the prime minister, would respond to the queries.
Her statement came after Congress MP Anand Sharma asked whether there was a window within which the Doklam border dispute can be resolved. He targeted Modi and complained that despite visiting 65 countries in the last three years, Modi has never addressed the Parliament on his foreign visits.
The Congress, however, said they will always support the government in matters of national interest.

The Sikkim standoff
India and China are currently locked in a diplomatic standoff. Both nations havemaintained that troops from the other country had transgressed into their territory in the Sikkim sector's Doklam area.
Bilateral ties have been strained since the Indian Army stopped China from constructing a road in the region. New Delhi has made it clear that it will not allow China to construct a motorable road up to the Sikkim-Bhutan-Tibet tri-junction through the Doklam plateau.

These observations support the notion that prohibitin may be a negative regulator of cell growth and, possibly, could exert antiproliferative activity. Based on these observations, prohibitin expression patterns likely correlated with those of P450scc in granulosa cells as the follicles matured, suggesting that prohibitin may mediate establishment of the steroidogenic machinery of the follicle during development. In support of this contention is the observation that, at the preantral stage of follicular development, prohibitin expression in the theca-interstitial cells was low or undetectable and that these cells were devoid of P450scc.
