Employee ordered to pay employer £50,000
The Court of Appeal has held that an employer could rely on a clause in an ex employee's contract of employment which prevented him from seeking business from any of his former employer's customers for 6 months. The former employee was ordered to pay damages of £50,000 for breaching the clause.
Generally a clause in a contract of employment preventing an employee from soliciting business from his employer's customers after the employment has ended will be void as a restraint of trade. If the employer wants to be able to enforce it, it will need to show that it has a legitimate interest to protect and that the clause is reasonable. In general, the Courts have been slow to enforce clauses which are not limited to customers the employee actually dealt with and of short duration on the grounds that they are too wide.
In the case of Coppage, the former employee was subject to a six month non-solicitation restrictive covenant which prevented him from approaching anyone who was a customer at any point during his employment. He had been employed for 6 years prior to leaving and setting up in competition. Shortly after doing so, he contacted a number of customers of his former employer with a view to their working with him instead.
Although the restriction in the employee's contract was wide enough to catch customers he had no dealings with during his employment, the Court decided that the employer could rely on it and awarded them damages in the sum of £50,000.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the employee's appeal of the decision. It placed particular emphasis on the fact that the clause was limited to "only" six months. It also stressed that there are no hard and fast rules in such cases and that each case must be considered on its own facts.
Of considerable assistance to the employer in this case was the fact it had evidence of breach of the clause in the form of 135 telephone calls and 175 texts that the ex-employee had sent to customers. Without that, and the fact the employee was a director, the outcome would no doubt have been very different.
Whilst this case does underline that similar contractual clauses can be treated differently depending on the context, it provides some comfort to employers who want to protect their business from the activities of former employees. It also underlines how important it is, particularly with more senior employees, to ensure your employment contracts are regularly reviewed.

The reason this project is so challenging comes from the length, number and size of pipelines, and resources needed to accomplish. At project completion, more than 500,000 feet — or 95 miles — of ditch will be dug. This equates to almost 900,000 yards of material moved and over 250 mils of pipe laid in the ground.
The time, material, equipment, and manpower were managed through a collaboration of HCSS software, including HeavyBid, HeavyJob, HCSS GPS, and Equipment360. With such a massive project, the software systems easily showed their advantage to older methods such as paper time cards, spreadsheets, and pin boards.
HeavyBid created the initial foundation for job planning, tracking, and cost codes.
HCSS GPS helped locate the necessary equipment for job mobilization.
Using HeavyJob, engineers in the field kept track of production, time cards, project estimation and projection, while managers in the office kept an eye on progress and billing.
Equipment360 was utilized to keep equipment and mechanics in sync on repairs, maintenance and forecasting of future issues on the project.
HCSS GPS was used to show utilization and location of equipment along the project as well as providing a background for future productivity analysis.
Together, the suite of HCSS products kept tracking and managing this "Goliath" of an undertaking within the capabilities of our employees.

@Tom I see Franz 5.0.0-beta.19 and Franz 5.0.0-beta.20, so what is missing?
I sent the icon a second time by email.
First, the app-icon is missing (I sent you the icon by mail last Sunday).
Next you should change the displayed version from 5.0.0.1047 to 5.0.0 Beta 20 (see above).
I also have an older version 5.0.0.1029 that should be changed to 5.0.0 Beta 19.


Sometimes you may want to generate a Word document from code in D365FO, which gives you much more control over the result than if you simply printed a report to Word.
Here is a very brief example of how you can do it.
Start with creating an X++ project. Then add a C# class library to the same solution (I called it WordLib). Right-click the C# project, use Manage NuGet Packages… and install DocumentFormat.OpenXml package.
This code will create a very simple Word document, containing only a single line of text, and returns it as a memory stream. You would likely need something more complicated, but that's out of scope of this blog post. You can get more information from Open XML SDK documentation.
Build the C# class library and we're done with it; now we need to call it from X++.
Go to the X++ project, right-click References, chose Add Reference… and add a project reference to the C# library.
Set the class as the startup object, run the project and your browser should offer you the Word document for download.
I only started with this about an hour ago.
I am reading up on referencing C# code in general. I have one question that I do not find an answer for: Why is it specifically the VS Project that references the C# library? (All the stuff I've read just states, like you did, to add the library as a reference in the project.) It does not make sense to me. I mean the project is a VS concept, nothing to do with the implementation of my C# library?
You should have two projects in a single solution – an X++ project and a C# class library. You want your X++ project to reference the C# class library (to be able to use the C# class), therefore you'll go to the X++ project, right-click References and choose Add Reference…. This will show a dialog where you can select references from several sources (base class library, files…) and the active tab should be Projects, where you should see the class library project. That's the reference you want to add.

How to embed the word document in excel sheet in d365fo by code, Please tell me how to achieve this.
I'm sorry, but the blog post isn't about creating Excel sheets, therefore your question doesn't belong here. I see you already asked in a discussion forum (https://community.dynamics.com/365/financeandoperations/f/765/t/299535), therefore please keep the discussion there.
I suggest you add more details to your discussion thread, such as why you've decided to use this particular architecture and what implementation you've already tried.

The Université de l'Ontario français: Here's what it could become
Home/Home/The Université de l'Ontario français: Here's what it could become
Here is a article we published in The Conversation, February 24, 2019.
By Marc L. Johnson
The Government of Ontario's hasty decision to cancel plans and funding for the Université de l'Ontario français recently generated an outpouring of protests and a surge of solidarity with the university founders, with close to 13,000 signatures being added to one of several online petitions.
In French-speaking media, journalists explored what it could mean for francophones to establish a hub in Toronto and historians were roused to comment about generations of dialogue and advocacy among Franco-Ontarians for French-language education.
So what has become of Université de l'Ontario français? Has the blow, delivered by the Ontario's government, even after funds were promised during the recent election, totally thwarted the university's establishment, vision and plans?
In 2017, Université de l'Ontario français was already established by law under Schedule 43 of Bill 177. The university's first board of governors was appointed in April 2018 and a small team has been in place since December 2017. With a network of some 100 Canadian and international academics and experts, the first wave of academic programs was developed. Yet the process of having programs approved is now on hold.
While funding from the government of Ontario has been suspended for an indefinite period, the crisis has had the merit of introducing Université de l'Ontario français to a large audience.
Judging by multiple offers of collaboration and financial support, the public is in solidarity with empowering the francophone community into post-secondary education.
Recently, the Government of Canada announced $1.9 million in funding for the university to establish a foundational francophone hub with its partners.
As one of the researchers and advocates involved in creating this new university, let me share an overview of how Université de l'Ontario français was gradually designed.
A deeply rooted demand
In 2013, province wide consultations about the state of post-secondary education in French-speaking Ontario had built on decades of government reports to identify a priority of establishing a university.
Université de l'Ontario français is rooted in the francophone community of central and southwestern Ontario, which has approximately 250,000 francophones but lacks a dedicated French-language university.
Multiple studies and consultations demonstrated the need and strong demand for such a university in central and southwestern Ontario.
There is a French-language university in northern Ontario (Université de Hearst) affiliated with a bilingual university, Laurentian University in Sudbury. There are also bilingual universities that offer bilingual programs in Ottawa and Toronto. However, these bilingual institutions are not considered to be governed by and for francophones.
The new university's charter, on the other hand, specifies that it must "support governance by and for the French-speaking community by conducting the affairs of the University in French."
In 2017 a planning board for a French-language university recommended that it be established in downtown Toronto in order to serve the province's central and southwestern region and then Ontario's culturally diverse Francophonie as a whole.
Simultaneously, and continuous with reflecting this local reality, it is a university that aims to be connected with the world.

As such, the board of governors was composed of an equal number of men and women, with independent members reflecting an ethnocultural diversity, different age groups and different skills required to become successfully established.
Focus on competencies for the future
The planning board's report also examined the competencies needed for the labour market and society of the 21st century, as well as innovative practices in post-secondary education. The board recommended that the university not become, as some would have wanted, a scaled-down version of larger conventional universities.
Rather, it recommended a university that is reflective of its time and one that focuses on the strengths and characteristics of its environment — globalized, multilingual, multicultural and francophone urban. Further desired was being a place that contributes to important modern-day issues such as digital and ecological transition, population mobility and equitable economy.
The planning board consulted with leaders in industry, the public and community sectors in order to better grasp what was expected of today's graduates.
It examined several institutions so as to get a better idea of possible innovative models, including Université de Hearst and Quest University in British Columbia. Inspiration was found in Laval University's practice of having students choose a study profile emphasizing outcome competencies, Concordia University's efforts to link the arts, sciences and social sciences, Brock University's co-op, career and experiential education, and Queen's University's "major maps": a resource that suggests to students possible career outcomes of different types of study.
Planners also looked at U.S. universities (Goucher College and Northern Illinois University), and compelling international schools such as the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano in Italy and Azim Premji University in India.
Vibrant francophone hub
Taking into account the particularities of the francophone communities that the university intends to serve, the following four program areas were chosen: studies in human plurality, studies in urban environments, studies in globalized economy and studies in digital cultures.
A team of professors and experts developed these programs in relationship with a teaching and learning approach resting on four principles: being transdisciplinary, supporting inductive and experiential learning and developing key competencies for now and the future.
The first bachelor's programs in these areas were developed based on an assessment of over 150 programs of study offered in Québec and Ontario in the same fields.
In Toronto's city centre, the university would bring together just over a dozen community organizations, institutions and businesses for a vital francophone hub of knowledge and innovation — a vibrant, culturally diverse francophone neighbourhood of sorts in Toronto.
In short, Université de l'Ontario français has positioned itself as a 21st-century university.

College CIO academy: Translate the 'techno babble'
College CIOs could retire en mass over the next decade, creating a huge challenge for educational technology leadership.
The sometimes indefinable role of a college's chief information officer has become clearer for six campus technology staffers after a week of eight-hour days learning, among other lessons, how to communicate with higher-ups and manage dwindling IT budgets.
The college staff-turned-students attended Excelsior College's first Center for Technology Leadership (CTL) program at the National Labor College in Silver Spring, Md., where educational technology experts led classes on topics ranging from how to lead a campus technology department to understanding local, state, and federal rules and regulations.
This month's program had nine attendees. Tuition for the week-long program was $2,500, and students stayed in the National Labor College's dormitories.
A CIO academy designed specifically for higher education could be timely for campuses that might struggle to find a qualified IT director over the next decade.
Nationwide research conducted by Wayne Brown, vice president of IT at Excelsior, an online school, and executive director of CTL, shows that nearly half of college CIOs plan to retire in the next 10 years, and many campus technology staff who want that top role aren't sure how to get there.
"For aspiring CIOs, we want to offer them a realistic look at the job and see, first of all, whether they want to do it or not," said Brown, whose research showed the majority of people filling IT director spots in higher education are more than 51 years old. "If their answer is yes, then we want to help them build a network of like-minded people they can reach out to."
The educational technology leadership program includes an entire day dedicated to communication, teaching aspiring college CIOs to "translate the techno babble" for presidents, provosts, and chief financial officers who control the campus purse strings.
A lack of communication, Brown said, "is the one thing that can really drive us into a ditch," creating tension between the IT department and the rest of the university.
CTL student Kurt Ashley, systems and networking director at Albion College in Michigan, said the educational technology leadership program has clarified, among other points, what decision-making power a college IT director should have.
"I'm definitely more confident that I can do the job," he said during an interview between sessions on security and compliance. "I'm not positive I want the job, but it's good to know I could handle it."
Rebecca Sandlin, deputy CIO at Bowdoin College in Maine, said CTL instructors have told students where campus technology chiefs should take charge, and when they should work with other department heads and faculty members.
A college IT director, for example, shouldn't make the final decision on which learning management system (LMS) to use; rather, academic officials should have a say, because they're better able to judge the curricular aspects of an online learning platform.
"We should never have an IT monarchy," Sandlin said. "That's why communication is so important in that role."
The students' IT network has formed over all-day classes, table tennis, and pool games in the National Labor College's dorms, and dinners in downtown Silver Spring and Washington, D.C.
"We've spent an incredible amount of time together," said Tina Finneran, education and research consulting manager at Bowdoin College.
For some CTL students, the sessions—which start at 8:30 a.m. and end at 4:15 p.m.—have provided some assurance that not all campus technology chiefs are technological prodigies bred for the job since childhood.
With a background in customer service and technical writing, Kristi Lenz, a business process analyst at Webster University in St. Louis, said she was relieved to find out that "technology wasn't as important" as she thought it was in the college CIO role.
People management and consistent communication with other campus decision makers, she said, often trump a deep-seeded knowledge of all things tech.
"That's really reinforced my decision to pursue a position as a CIO," Lenz said.
Robert Loyot, IT director at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass., has attended his share of CIO training programs—including the renowned Gartner CIO Boot Camp—and said Excelsior's CTL is the most valuable from a perspective of educational technology leadership.
The other CIO programs, Loyot said, are broad and often inapplicable to higher education.
"You get much more focusing and targeting here," he said.
CTL instructors weren't just showing students how to translate technology speak to plain English, Loyot said. They also helped translate the other end of the exchange: from CFO, for example, to IT.
"You have to have that in-depth knowledge about senior-level people and how they talk," he said. "We need to be able to understand business talk and know what they really mean … or we're at a disadvantage."

Notes, Words, Law, and Looking It Up
Kevin Werbach, internet gadfly and all-around nice guy, wrote a student Note in the Harvard Law Review entitled Looking It Up: The Supreme Court's Use of Dictionaries in Statutory and Constitutional Interpretation. Since then, Eugene Volokh's discovered that it's become one of the most-cited Notes he could find, with over 100 academic citations. Especially impressive since one of its core arguments is against blindly accepting the authority of dictionaries. An outline:
This Paper argues that the Supreme Court should exercise greater sensitivity in its use of dictionaries. Part I demonstrates the increased prominence of dictionaries in Supreme Court opinions during the last several years. This shift is too substantial to ignore or dismiss as a coincidence; some underlying factors must explain the trend. Part II therefore situates the Court's use of dictionaries within a broader context of changed attitudes toward statutory interpretation and the role of judges. Dictionaries are not ideal tools; they provide a range of definitions that bear an imperfect relationship to context and meaning. The choice of the dictionary as an interpretive tool requires substantive decisions by judges, and introduces the antecedent assumptions of dictionary editors into the legal process. Part III suggests that these and other considerations gravely limit the value of dictionaries to statutory and constitutional interpretation, and that the Court's current unselfconscious attitude towards the reference books greatly exacerbates these problems. The paper concludes in Part IV with suggestions for more rigorous and more appropriate use of dictionaries.
I love dictionaries and the people who make them, but I'm glad that are strong arguments against their being pressed into duty as legal references.

If you're not gonna read and critique this message I'm sending to a guy, are you even my friend?
"Walking with a friend in the dark", Helen Keller once said, "is better than walking alone in the light". I can concede, of course, that when Helen Keller said that she probably didn't mean what I take it to mean, but I think had she lived today she would have intended it to mean: "sending clueless texts with your friends to the person you want to get with is better than going it alone". I think it's fair to say that's what she might have meant.
Friends mean many things to us, but of course perhaps the most important of all the functions they play – more important than confidant, emotional support or drinking buddy, is the role of peer reviewer. Because where would we be in this cruel world if we didn't have friends to check our texts to guys before we send them? We'd be lost.
It may seem like a trivial task, but it's so much more than that. It's an art form. It's a science. It's what separates us as a species. The generally accepted scientific formula to this beautiful science is thus: you should include no less than one friend, and no more than two. Three would be a push, if they offered sage advice which balances each other out then obviously that's golden, but more often than not sending a screenshot down a group chat is a recipe for disaster (also you are definitely overthinking what you're doing if you're sending it down a double figures group chat).
"Look, I don't want people to think I need help", a friend told me. "But I do need advice. It's often advice like 'do I send this meme?' to be honest." (The answer is always yes). "Should I emoji or nah?" (The answer is always no).
The details are intricate. The conversation – now read this bit in a reverent David Attenborough-esque tone of voice – is in its infancy, and the atmosphere rests on a knife edge. The slightest disturbance could set the path for disaster. It's an evolutionary strategy therefore, to realise we can't do this alone. We band together, we form this social peer-review and we pay it forward, someone will do it for you, you will do it for them when they're in the same precarious sexual situation. It's comforting and a necessary means for social survival.
If you don't do it then sorry, we're not friends.

Since I started Barrett in January 1995, I have met thousands and thousands of salespeople and sales leaders and whilst I can tell you many stories about these encounters the one thing I can say is that the motivation driving the vast majority of these sales and service people, and sales leaders is the desire to help people, their clients, be successful and do the right thing by them.
Very few people that I have met want to harm or take undue advantage of others, even when pressed to meet targets and hit budgets. Instead many people are motivated by the desire to help others, especially salespeople. Many enjoy identifying and fixing problems, helping people out of a tight fix, co-creating and discovering new opportunities. It is a thrill for many of us in sales when a client tells us how grateful they are for our help in sorting out an issue for them.
The sixth Sales Trend for 2014 is 'Low Carbon Economy Sales Opportunities'.
Despite many governments lagging behind in terms of creating and endorsing low carbon policies and industries, forward thinking organisations are taking the lead on creating low / no carbon businesses and partnering with each other. And it's not just big business, there is a growing number of SMEs (small to medium enterprises) driving change too.
Rather than only focusing on the cost of creating a low carbon economy, this sales trend is seeing smart companies and communities looking and acting on at the abundance of opportunity within new and existing markets and seeing potential in its many forms. There are massively big opportunities for innovation and product/service development in a low carbon economy as well as social evolution.
For the third year running I recently had the privilege and pleasure of attending, presenting and acting as MC at the CSE11, Asia Pacific's Premier Sales Leadership Conference - "The New Era of Professional Selling; The Pathway from Supplier to Partner Status".
Over 150 delegates from Australia's premium companies attended and we heard from some of the world's leading experts on sales capability, strategy and culture. There was much talk about the rapidly changing face of our B2B (business to business) sales world and how we need to build relevant and sustainable partnerships if we are to flourish. One of the highlights was hearing from one of Australia's top Procurement Leaders, Craig Rooney who is the Group Procurement Manager for Porter Davis Homes and former Coles Group Procurement Manager. Craig's insights were well received and gave us all a clear picture of how to build a Pathway from Supplier to Partner Status with 21st Century Procurement Professionals. Like Selling, Craig pointed out that the profession of Procurement is undergoing dramatic evolution to adapt to the volatility of today's business world.
The importance of Coaching to achieve real sales capability, results, and cultural transformation was a strong message as was the need to genuinely merge and unite sales and marketing, with the rise and rise of social media as a critical piece in the sales machine. And the emergence of Neuroscience to our effective and sustained performance in sales was a highlight at this conference with live experiments on show.
Another key and somewhat disturbing message was Adapt or Perish. The world of B2B selling is changing so rapidly that it is now polarising into two distinct areas, with the likelihood of a particular style of B2B sales person becoming extinct in the next few years.
Many sales people are required to produce a proposal or quote after an initial meeting with a client or prospect. This is a critical part of the sales process. Many sales people however, loathe producing proposals and consider it a chore believing they dont get maximum value or return from their efforts.
Often reduced to quoting prices or at worst just a find and replace to change the client company name, sales people can do a lot better for themselves as well as their clients when it comes to producing winning proposals.
We all deserve better sales people and clients included.

Estate Grown This delightful, dry wine exhibits archetypal lychee and tea-rose characters with the palate delivering flavours of ginger spice, quince and orange zest. With great texture and scintillating acidity, the palate has great length and will reward aging.
A truly unique style - to our knowledge the only sparkling gewurz in Australia. This is the 3rd vintage and is made from grapes picked early while acidity still high and flavours and aromas not too intense. Bone dry it is a delicious aperitif.

Paris: Gareth Pugh has always embraced technology and all things futuristic, and this season the young talent presented his collection in a jarring yet beautiful, sci-fi-inspired video rather than a runway show, making the catwalk seem clunky and old. Is this the end of the runway as we know it? Directed by up-and-comer and SHOWstudio collaborator Ruth Hogben, the video featured veteran model Kristen McMenamy spinning, running and contorting in the striking looks. Look-book-style photos of the collection were released after, allowing for closer examination of the intricate pieces. Paneled dove grey leggings and a matching angular vest were perhaps nothing new from the designer, but their precision and fit hinted at a new level of production. An eye-popping mirror-image geometric print – shown both in black and white and a softer grey and white – seemed to be a riff on his own S/S 07 collection (which featured a black and white checkerboard motif); Pugh's new digitally manipulated version shows just how far he's come. A series of wide-leg pants were on-trend, but took on the designer's space-age aesthetic in cool grey stiff fabric that mimicked brushed steel. The last looks, made from twisted strips of ultra-shiny silver material that looked like liquid chrome, were formed into bell-skirted dresses and a billowy coat. The innovative format and the brilliant and precise looks were an impressive turn from this promising designer, and the buzz that his show caused is testament to his influence on fashion as a whole.

Modeling the position information inaccuracy in MANET position-based routing protocols
Raed Alsaqour, Maha Abdelhaq, Tariq Abdullah
This study aims to model the position information inaccuracy in position-based MANET routing protocol. The modeling aids on understanding the position information inaccuracy and assists the researchers to find suitable techniques and mechanisms to overcome the observed problems and improve the performance of the position-based routing protocols. Position-based routing protocols have become more popular in Mobile Ad hoc network (MANET) due to their advantages in using geographical position information of the nodes to route the data packets to the destination. Each node periodically sends its geographical position information to its neighbours using beacon packets. Nodes which receive the geographical position information of their neighbours store this information in their neighbours list. The data packet routing in position-based routing protocols uses neighbours' position information, which is stored in the node's neighbours list, and the destination's position information stored in the routing data packet header field to route the data packet from source to destination. Most of the current work in position-based routing protocols assumes that the position information in the node's neighbours list is accurate, while in reality, only a rough estimate of this position information is available for the nodes. Position information inaccuracy has a severe impact on degrading the performance of the position-based routing protocols in terms of average end-to-end delay, non-optimal route, false local maximum, and the routing loop.

Thursday, December 3rd, is the United Nations International Day of Persons with Disabilities. To celebrate, and to bring awareness to gamers with disabilities, we're selling all of our PDFs for 50% off from DriveThruRPG.
The theme for this year is Inclusion matters: access and empowerment for people of all abilities.
It's every individual's responsibility to be inclusive of people from all walks of life. As gamers, we've been exposed to a lot of discussion about the rights of women and people of color–and to be sure, discussion of those rights is absolutely imperative–but we don't often talk about the rights of people with disabilities. Too few games are designed to be accessible, and while there are a few companies such as Accessible Games trying to make a difference, the discussion has yet to break into mainstream public awareness.
One of the problems is that the tools and software used to create games, especially RPGs, don't always make it easy to create accessible PDFs. The best products on the market are expensive, and the cheaper products don't natively support many accessibility features. This makes it difficult for small press publishers on tight budgets to easily create accessible PDFs in a cost-efficient manner. There also seems to be a lack of publisher awareness of the tools and techniques needed to create accessible documents, meaning that even publishers with the means don't necessarily have the knowledge they need to implement the techniques.
For board games, there are a lot of other complications. Not all unique or interesting game mechanics are suitable for all audiences and ability levels. There are, however, many techniques game designers and publishers can use to ensure maximum accessibility to as wide an audeince as is reasonable for the game–choosing when and how color is used to portray important game mechanics, limiting the use of small text, etc.
As a designer and layout artist, I'm available to consult on your projects if you have questions or need me to help improve the accessibility of your PDFs. Simply contact me for more information.
If you're a gamer and see something that could be improved with a publisher's products, I would encourage you to reach out to them by e-mail or social media to initiate the conversation. Most publishers aren't even aware there are accessibility issues with their products, so it's up to their fans to help raise that awareness.
If you'd like to support Accessible Games in our mission to ensure there are games out there for absolutely everyone, please consider taking advantage of our sale. This one-day-only event is happening today, December 3rd, 2015.
Even if you missed the sale event, you can still find our great games at DriveThruRPG.
Visit the Accessible Games DTRPG page to get your copies today.
Tagged accessibility, our games, sales.

Britain has faced a challenging winter so far. Flooding has affected most parts of the...
The inaugural Homebuyer Urban Flood Risk Report has found that nearly one in seven UK homebuyers faced a potential flood risk when purchasing a home in 2017.
The report, created by environmental risk analysts Future Climate Info (FCI), analysed trends in homebuyer activity within the ten most populated cities across England and Wales.
By using data garnered from tens of thousands of home buying transactions during 2016 and 2017, it revealed that homebuyers seeking properties in London (23%), Manchester (21%) and Cardiff (20%) were faced with the highest likelihood that their chosen home may be at risk from flooding.
When comparing year-on-year trends, the research also showed that prospective buyers in Liverpool, London and Birmingham were all more likely to be targeting locations at risk of flooding in 2017 than they were in 2016.
Conveyancers based in Liverpool witnessed the biggest rise in the frequency of flood risk, up from 7% to 10%. In Birmingham, meanwhile, it went up from 9% to 11%. Both of these locations had a much lower risk of flooding than London, though, which saw an increase of two percentage points, from 21% to 23%.
By contrast, a reduced level of flood risk was seen for transactions in Bristol, Leicester, Leeds and Sheffield in 2017. This, though, could have been partly influenced by a reduction in sales in at-risk areas.
According to FCI's data, homebuyers in the largest urban metropolitan areas of England and Wales were the most likely to face flood risks, while those looking to buy in rural hamlets and isolated areas saw risks increase the most year-on-year.
Some 15% of homebuyers in urban areas identified a potential flood risk attached to their property in 2017, a figure consistent with the previous year's data. Fewer buyers (14%) in rural hamlets and 'isolated dwellings' faced a risk, although this was up by 2% from 2016.
"We've assessed tens of thousands of transactions over the last two years, and while there are significant regional and local variations, this data emphasises how flood risk is something all conveyancers and their clients need to be aware of as part of the homebuying process," said Geoff Offen, managing director of FCI.
"It is interesting to see that homes in our biggest cities are some of the most likely to come with a potential flood risk. Due to the complexity of flooding dynamics in built-up urban environments, it is vital that conveyancers keep up to date with the latest developments in assessing and managing potential flood risks – by doing so, they can ensure that a potential issue needn't result in the collapse of a transaction."

A mannequin prop of Catherine Eddowes' corpse for a new play about Jack the Ripper.
Hi, guys! I'm directing a one-actor play about the Ripper, a fictionalized account of his state-of-mind on the night of the Double Event and Act II opens with him finishing up mutilating Cathy's body. This is a work-in-progress of the mannequin that will be used. The arms will be replaced with more realistic silicon ones and the costume designer is working on recreating her clothes from the police report. The left kidney and part of the intestine will be detachable props.
She's well-fed for being a starving Unfortunate. Probably much too tall, as well. Kelly was the tallest victim at 5'7.
Well, yes, we didn't have a lot of options regarding the mannequin, but I think this one will work once the she's dressed appropriately and the legs could be shortened as well. In any case, she will be lying on the stage, so the height isn't terribly crucial.
I see you're located in CO, Pat. You should come out and see the show once we open next month!
Ah! Thanks for the invite. I'll keep an eye on the local newspaper.


Toolik Field Station GIS develops, assembles, archives and distributes spatial data germaine to research, management and logistics in the Toolik region.
Past protocol included limited online dataset distribution directly through this website. Thinking and practice related to Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) have evolved rapidly in recent years. Several initiatives are underway to create coherent Alaskan and Arctic data portals which will leverage the distributed nodes among agencies, institutions and the private sector for better coordinated and faster data discovery and delivery.
Direct web access to Toolik GIS data will again be supported once these come to fruition. In the meantime, the vast majority of TFS GIS data is considered appropriate for public distribution and will be provided upon request. Please e-mail requests and related questions to j.stuckey@alaska.edu.

A group of middle school students in Woodville, Ohio, have turned an after-school project into a charity drive that helps keep people warm in the winter.
During each home sporting event, six students spend their evening operating the school's concession stand. They sell pizza, candy and drinks to raise funds for the school. But, the money earned from popcorn sales goes to a very special cause, Susie's Coats, which provides new and gently used coats and other winter clothing to those in need.
The students spend several evenings each month – as well as weekends during tournaments – making and bagging popcorn. They also spend extra time cleaning and getting the machine ready for the next sale.
The kids hope to raise $1,500 and are excited because an anonymous donor promised to match donations and double that money.


Students will be introduced to the world of children's literature, including its types and genres. Opportunities are given for them to investigate the fundamentals of plot, structure, voice, characterization and dialogue that make up a good story for young children. They will examine various ways of communicating with young children and write a picture book or an article for publication.
Examine the development of children's literature.

Vinten launches new Extended Warranty packages
Current News & Events
Vinten, a Vitec Group brand, has launched new Extended Warranty packages to keep their customer's equipment in optimum condition. The pilot scheme currently covers the UK, France and Germany with plans to extended further in the near future.
Covering a range of ENG and EFP camera support heads and tripods, the new Extended Warranty packages provide a comprehensive solution for owners wishing to safeguard against unexpected servicing bills.
Vinten's servicing workshops are well-known for their exceptional technical expertise. Owners buying an Extended Warranty will be able to access this as often as is required for their products, as there are no limits placed on the number of services that can be claimed for under warranty.
Two options have been created: Premium and Value. Both offer unlimited services and repair to faulty parts, with the Premium offering replacement or repair of parts due to wear and tear as well. Moreover, Extended Warranties can be purchased for up to 6 years on a new product - a timespan no competitor can better.
Extended Warranties can be purchased annually, or as a block of 3 years. To find out more, visit the Service & Warranty page at vinten.com.
All new Vinten products already come with 1 year's warranty as standard, which extends to 2 years upon completion of an online production registration form.

But they are not working property. Also when I resize the height of the window this Second ToolWindowContainer also adjusts its height accordingly.
I don't want to change the size of second ToolWindowContainer when height is changed. User can only change its height using Splitter.
Unfortunately fixed sizes and size constraints are not currently supported. We will add this to the TODO list to look into for possible future inclusion.
It's been 5 years since this thread. I would like to know if this functionality has now been implemented. In my case, I have SplitContainer with Horizontal orientation. I would like the left side's width to be one third the size of the SplitContainer or a given width.
Is there a way to achieve this currently?
While fixed and min sizes aren't supported, we do support programmatic layout of a particular SplitContainer via its ResizeSlots method. You can pass it a set of numbers to determine the size ratios to apply to children based on the current SplitContainer size. Check out the ProgrammaticSizing QuickStart for an example.

Q: How can I configure the Linux kernel to ignore passed in parameters? I have the kernel parameters for our embedded device set during kernel build time, but these can be overridden by passing other parameters from the bootloader.
Is there a way to build a kernel that will ignore parameters that are passed to it?
My justification for wanting this are twofold:
First, it would be nice to isolate kernel things in the kernel "package" to ease distribution of updates. We don't currently use an initramfs, but I suppose it--if embedded in the kernel--could be a point to easily filter incoming parameters.
Second, another layer in our security strategy. It would be a somewhat non-trivial speedbump to either do a binary patch on the existing kernel or build a new one that would successfully boot a custom board; with a secure-boot chain it would be nigh impossible.

A: I don't think there's such a configuration because it doesn't make any sense. If you don't want to pass parameters to your kernel, lock your bootloader so that the command line parameters that it passes can't be changed.
The bootloader decides what kernel it loads, so preventing parameter changes in the kernel would not add any security. Building a kernel that boots on some machine is not a speedbump.
If you have a secure boot chain, then the kernel can't be substituted, but of course securing the boot chain includes securing the kernel parameters. That's a security property of the bootloader, not a security property of the kernel.
You can't set kernel parameters from the initramfs (except for parameters that can be set at runtime after the kernel has booted, of course). It's too late. If you need to set some kernel parameters, you need to do it in the bootloader — and that's its job. There wouldn't be any advantage in terms of packaging: if you're packaging the bootloader separately, and you don't want to tune some parameters from the bootloader, you only need to set the correct default values in the kernel binary, you don't need to prevent the kernel from accepting overrides on its command line.

Yeah, I know, the CDC is full of liberal, Obama loving folks. Of course, it has been part of the Trump regime for 3 years and 8 months. Probably a cabal of international bankers run by Soros and Fonda have donned white lab coats and are holding clipboards. And, get this, they traffic in children to get blood samples for research. And eat pizza daily. #LIBERATE!!
How did we get here?

Well, considering that the CDC statement on HCQ was wrong, and contradicted by the Ford Clinic study, delaying it and insisting on balance was the right thing to do..
From the beginning, the CDC and FDA have evaluated the use of HCQ wrongly, relying on patients given the drug long after the patients were too ill for it to do any good. Tamiflu, which has saved 10s of thousands of lives in the seasonal flu, tested the same way would have failed.
In every study when HCQ was used early and with Zinc, it has reduced mortality. NOT A CURE, but a very valuable treatment the FDA now blocks based on using it wrong.
Requiring the CDC and FDA to report both sides of an issue is the right thing to do, though eliminating the FDA entirely, and keeping the CDC in its lane, would be even better.

Whatever happened to the Ford study? No mention anywhere since, not even right wing media.
Adam Green says:
…"the Ford study"…
Fake news? A Trump supporter has money invested in it? (My Pillow Guy?)
No, Rendell has a minor interest in Oleandrin.
No one makes any significant profit on HCQ as it has been off patent for 40 years.
…Rendell has a minor interest in Oleandrin.".
ANY financial interest and then going to POTUS for endorsement is ugly.
Wasn't there are in issue in VA a few years ago about some anti-smoking supplement being touted (allegedly) by the Governor? (Can't recall if it was Macauliffe of Mcdonnel)
Oleandrin =/= HCQ
And I left out Len's sarcasm emoji.
Significant profit? There is if you can sell a billion doses. Even at a profit of only 50 cents, or even 5 cents, a pill that is a lot of money.
And if you save a million lives that is worth the profit, or should people die rather than someone make a small profit on a generic drug?
Good question. I'll see what I can find out.
First, the lack of reporting is in itself suspicious.
The Detroit news seems to be the only source following it.
Detroit news: Ford Clinic defends study
Saint Fauci said it was a 'flawed' study because it was not a prospective, double blind study and because some of the patients also received hydrocortisone. Of course, the kind of study Fauci wants would be unethical, impossible, and useless.
If you were a doctor and had a treatment you knew would cut the mortality rate in half, and used in conjunction with another treatment, by an even greater margin, would you then deny half the participants in a study one or both of those medications, knowing that many would die for you to prove a point?
Knowing the treatments are only useful in the first days of hospitalization, how do you do the required paperwork(random sampling and coded drug containers) which takes a week at least and still give the drugs in time to be useful?
Following that method will yield workable results in about 5 months longer than it will take to get the vaccine, at which time the results are useless.
Double blind studies are useful for drug companies and regulatory agencies to cover their asses, but will not provide results fast enough to be useful. Sometimes physicians trying something and being guided by their experience in real time is the only way to save lives.
Remember the movie "Outbreak" in which Dusitin Hoffman catches the monkey and produces a serum in a day that saves everyone? Well, that's fiction, but were it possible, the FDA wouldn't let him.
Silencing of scientists. Downplaying the effects of the virus and putting a lie to the idea "he made his decisions based on the information available at the time", and waving his pom-poms for the country? The Dallas Cowboys are looking for pom-pom shakers every year. He should head for THAT America's Team. (I didn't vote for that one either.)
This cartoon pretty much grasps it.

But we are "rounding the corner"? Right on to the train tracks.
The man admitted he lied to US, We the People. To prevent panic? His entire political career has been based on fake fears. But he downplays something we should actually be worried about. And people continue to support, even praise his leadership?
Good Grief, Charlie Brown! WTF are you people thinking?
"You can keep your doctor…", a phrase that excoriated President Obama even through the 2016 campaign he wasn't even running in.
An unfortunate phrase since it was up to the private insurance companies, as it always had been, to determine your network. ACA was essentially a subsidy program to make premiums affordable to more Americans. ACA didn't tell insurance companies how to set up their networks.
But, the point is, that there are lies and there are misleading statements.
Trump lied about the pandemic for political gain. And the propaganda machine of right wing punditry supported him all the way. "Common cold", "just a flu, folks", "political hoax"…
This is a smoking gun and I believe it won't sway the hardcore Trump fans, but it is influencing seniors among others that may have been waffling.
It is important to keep this information, caught on record in Trump's own voice, out front every week.
Panic setting in causing people to flee cities for the countryside, and taking the plague with them, has been the pattern in pandemics for as long as contagion has been recognized, and that goes back to the Roman Empire.
Averting panic by downplaying the seriousness of the disease likely saved tens of thousands of lives by delaying the spread to communities that lack the resources to deal with large numbers of sick people, and especially so when it was thought that ventilators were a key part of the treatment, as they were in March when this was happening.
In China, where the cities can be contained by force, that would not be necessary, but here, with freedom of travel, keeping people calm and IN PLACE was the right thing to do.
It's not something I like, but I am not the President and responsible for saving as many lives as possible.
That is the worst excuse for delaying news and response for what as known to be a deadly contagion in January.
Americans are a lot more resilient than what you are suggesting.
To lie for months about a deadly virus so people keep going to work, traveling and spreading the disease specifically to boost the DOW is criminal. Then delay the simple act of wearing a mask long after it was determined to help, with social distancing. Mocking the wearers and making it a political issue rather than a health issue is also criminal.
Trump lied and thousands died. Criminal on a grand scale.
Really? Known to be a deadly contagion in January?
Then why was Saint Fauci, on Feb 29, saying that there was no need for Americans to change their way of life?
Fauci on Feb 29
https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/apr/13/deanna-lorraine/tweet-amplified-trump-misleads-faucis-late-februar/
"President Trump acknowledged to the journalist Bob Woodward that he knowingly played down the coronavirus earlier this year even though he was aware it was life-threatening and vastly more serious than the seasonal flu.
"This is deadly stuff," Mr. Trump said on Feb. 7 in one of 18 interviews with Mr. Woodward for his coming book, "Rage."
"You just breathe the air and that's how it's passed," the president told Mr. Woodward in audio recordings made available on The Washington Post website. "And so that's a very tricky one. That's a very delicate one. It's also more deadly than even your strenuous flus."
But three days after those remarks, Mr. Trump told the Fox Business anchor Trish Regan: "We're in very good shape. We have 11 cases. And most of them are getting better very rapidly. I think they will all be better." A little less than two weeks later, he told reporters on the South Lawn that "we have it very much under control in this country."
February 7 is long before February 29 and Trump said he knew how deadly it was.
Saint Fauci says it just isn't so,
Fauci refutes Woodward
"Panic setting in causing people to flee cities for the countryside, "…
Didn't that happen anyway while Trump was waving his pom-poms?
To some extent, yes. But possibly delayed a bit.
It is an old pattern that does great harm.
I just have a difficult time fathoming how people can say he did the right thing in downplaying the effects of the virus. A simple statement to the effect:
This novel coronavirus is much worse than we first thought, We are doing everything we can to help contain it. But it takes patriotic Americans such as yourselves to follow the recommendations from the CDC and WHO to socially distance, wear masks, wash your hands and avoid crowds. We will come through this together and prevent as much pain and suffering as possible. I call on you, my fellow Americans, to do the your part in preventing the spread of this highly infectious disease.
We are working hard with our private partners in developing a vaccine, providing much needed PPE for our front line health care workers, and doing all we can to survive this situation.
See, a warning of the dangers and cheerleading all in 2 little paragraphs. It really wasn't that difficult. And if POTUS has himself surrounded by the "best people" I'm sure one of them could have come up with something similar.
But according to the Trumpists, all is being handled the best way possible. Even after he admitted to lying to all of us. But he did it for our own benefit?
John Todd Roberts says:
RE: "How did we get here?"
Get where?
CDC performance during the pandemic has been atrocious. They botched the roll out of surveillance testing, they issued contradictory recommendations on facemask use, and their statistical mortality reports (a core function) have been widely criticized. Under the circumstances it is entirely appropriate for the administration to appoint a couple of watchdogs to review CDC's public communications. If there are systemic problems within the agency they will surface at that focal point.
There is no "Orange Man Bad" story here. Business Insider and Politico are brewing a tempest in a teapot.
The CDC has been a part of Trump's administration since January 2017. If there were problems, HHS should have ironed them out long before.
In other words, it is the regime's responsibility, period.
And we have a president for whom the word "responsibility" is foreign.
RE: "In other words, it is the regime's responsibility, period."
Your logic is pitiful. One should expect a "responsible regime" to assign watchdogs.
"…responsible regime" to assign watchdogs."
Most do, as we have Inspector Generals that the present regime finds mettlesome.
But at what point does a president assume responsibility? Upon inauguration? 6 months later? The end of the fiscal year? A year later? 2 years? 3 years? 3 years and 9 months?
Simply put we have an out of control pandemic, and economy in the toilet, civil disturbances in the streets, healthcare workers that had to don trash bags, conspiracies circulating at an unprecedented pace…in sum a mess.
And the current president says he can fix it.
Evidently he can't. Or won't. But he wants a do over on the presidency so he can try again?
And still, about 40% of the population believe him. Like the Trump U students perhaps?
Your premise: The only failures the CDC is guilty of were caused directly by President Trump. You can't prove it, but that doesn't stop you from saying it.
You are saying something I did not say. That is not a nice thing to do, even on here.
The facts are simple. If you are a president when disaster strikes, it is up to you to handle it.
Do a great job and you get re-elected. Botch it and you job is in peril.
As you have seen many times, Trump didn't create the pandemic, he just did not do a good job of handling the crisis.
If a president is going to take credit for the good things that he can't control, like the economy, but shirks responsibility for the bad things he can temper, he is not a leader.
How's tis for logic.
Trump inherited Obama's economy and everyone supporting Trump gives him full credit for the pre-pandemic economy.
But Trump's HHS and CDC botches things and it's someone else's fault?
Think about it. For once, just think about it before you reply.
bobrsmith says:
Your opening statement, as usual, is nothing more than extremist left wing liberal regurgitation of crap. Don't you ever get tired of throwing up your own nonsense or is this some sort of personal amusement of yours? Oh, maybe stumping for a job at the disgraced and phony Atlantic as a star liberal lying hack? Really????
More buffoonery in the name of argument? Again, your attacks bring nothing to the discussion.
I only point this out for my own amusement.
Personal amusement? In all honesty, anyone who posts online is actually watching entertainment if you really think about it. I enjoy the back and forth. Most of the time I will check the posts or do a bit of research. I have actually learned a few things and accepted some arguments from the right.
What is truly amazing is how we have gotten to this point.
Do I support the Democrats on everything? No. What disappoints me, however, is the loss of a loyal opposition in the Republican Party. There is no GOP, just a cult around Trump. And this is no better than if we had a cult around Obama. But that never took hold because Congress stopped everything he wanted done, good or not so good, right in its tracks. This was the Gingrich plan of "divide (the electorate) and conquer.
There is a very good chance that the Democrats will win the White House and all of Congress. And that makes me nervous.
Not that I would hope for any other outcome, but because there is no loyal opposition in a Republican Party that is all but destroyed.
That Pelosi was able to take control and rein in the hard line progressives is a testament to her leadership. Lose that buffer, which could happen in a Democratic sweep, we are in for a wild ride. And all that will do is continue the political divide.
What might be palatable is that Trump wins, but loses the House and Senate with a supermajority.

(BPRW) Plans Unveiled for State Holiday to Honor Founder of Ebony and Jet Magazines
Linda Johnson Rice, Daughter of John H. Johnson will be in attendace to lead celebration
(Black PR Wire) – (Arkansas City, Ark.) The State of Arkansas is honoring one of its native sons, John H. Johnson, with an official holiday, Friday, November 1, 2019. John H. Johnson Day was established April 16, 2019 during the 92nd General Assembly.
Johnson published Ebony and Jet Magazines, and was the founder, publisher, chairman and CEO of Johnson Publishing Company, once the largest Black-owned publishing company in the world.
The official holiday will unveil at two locations: John H. Johnson Museum and Educational Center (John H. Johnson Museum), 604 President Street/Courthouse Square at 10:00 a.m. in Arkansas City; and Mosaic Templars Cultural Center, 501 West 9th Street at 5:30 p.m. in Little Rock.
Friends of John H. Johnson Museum, curators of John H. Johnson Day, said November was selected for Johnson's holiday because it was the month that Ebony Magazine (Ebony) started. "November 1, 1945 was the date Mr. Johnson launched Ebony and that's the ideal date to celebrate his legacy. His lifestyle magazines created positive images and content for not only Black America but for how White America should see Black America."
Dr. Margena A. Christian, author of the book, Empire: The House That John H. Johnson Built, said recognizing November to honor Johnson is quite fitting. "Mr. Johnson would always say November was his golden month." Christian worked closely with Johnson at his publishing company in Chicago.
Christian will be the guest speaker at the Mosaic Templars Culture Center at 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and at the John H. Johnson Museum at 10:00 a.m. to 12 p.m. The Museum was established in 2004, with Johnson in attendance at its grand opening. For this year's holiday observance, the Museum will be open from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. with an official John H. Johnson Day signing, school participation and student activities, Museum tours and a book presentation by Christian.

The study was conducted to determine tolerance levels of two tolerant (T-1: TR-68516 and T-2: 'Rio Grande'), and two sensitive (S-1: TR-63233 and S-2: H-2274) tomato genotypes to drought. Three different irrigation treatments have been applied (D0: control: when 40% available water is consumed, D1: when 90% available water is consumed, D2: no water was given when plants reached 3-4 leaves stage). The drought stress index, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, antioxidant enzyme activities and ions contents (Ca, Zn, Mn, and Fe) were investigated. Visual injury assessment was conducted according to a 0-5 scale created for this purpose. According to that the most affected genotypes were S-1 and S-2 respectively. Irrigation treatments D1 and D2 caused reduction in the leaves K, Ca, Zn, Mn and Fe contents compared to the control. In the salt-tolerant cultivars, the decrease of ions contents was less under drought conditions. SOD, CAT, GR and APX enzyme activities have increased in drought stress conditions. The four genotypes showed an increase in MDA content under drought conditions, especially in the sensitive genotypes. As a result, visual scaling was noted to be an important parameter for determining tolerance of plants under drought stress. Plant ions regulation especially K and Ca, and enzymatic defense system seem to be effective against drought stress in tomato.
