Q: Trying to calculate the moving average of EEG csv file. Working with minor sample of data - no luck I've been trying out mathematica for data manipulation of some EEG samples I have. Trying to get a moving average of small sample size but nothing changes. Any suggestions?

trA[[All]] = MovingAverage[sampledata2[[All]], 1]
{{4215.74, 6637.71}, {4195.87, 6632.52}, {4227.16, 6640.99}, {4249.27,6641.33}, {4224.84, 6630.44}}

A: The average of one item is itself. Your moving average is calling for averaging one item at a time so it correctly gives the list you gave it back to you.
It is easy to what is happening when you give MovingAverage symbolic data.
data = {a, b, c, d, e, f, g};

MovingAverage[data, 1]

{a, b, c, d, e, f, g}

MovingAverage[data, 2]

{(a + b)/2, (b + c)/2, (c + d)/2, (d + e)/2, (e + f)/2, (f + g)/2}

MovingAverage[{a, b, c, d, e, f, g}, {1/2, 1/2}]

{a/2 + b/2, b/2 + c/2, c/2 + d/2, d/2 + e/2, e/2 + f/2, f/2 + g/2}

The result of evaluating the expression with two equal weights is interesting because, although it gives a result that is mathematically equivalent to MovingAverage[data, 2], it is expressed differently, suggesting that the computation was perform differently.

Today in Connecticut History
Big Things Happened. In This State. On This Date.
December 27: Hero of the 1955 Floods Receives Connecticut's Highest Honor.
Posted by kathyfoley21 on December 27, 2022 November 27, 2022

In August 1955, Connecticut experienced some of the worst flooding in its recorded history after two major hurricanes — Connie and Diane — dumped between 20 and 30 inches of rain on the state in the span of a single week. All of the state's major waterways, including the Connecticut, Quinebaug, Farmington, and Housatonic rivers, overflowed their banks, completely destroying hundreds of factories, marinas, warehouses, and homes. Entire houses were lifted off their foundations and carried downstream, as the main streets of Winsted, Putnam, and Torrington became raging rivers of swift-moving water. A state report estimated that losses of public and private property due to the flooding from Connie and Diane totaled over $1.5 billion in today's dollars.
The Connecticut Medal of Valor.
Amid the countless scenes of loss and destruction, one could also find tales of bravery and heroism, as Connecticans banded together to help each other through one of the state's worst natural disasters. One especially memorable account was about Master Sergeant Albert Pensiero, one of the many Connecticut National Guardsmen dispatched to help rescue stranded Connecticans when the flooding was at its worst. His actions that day, for which Pensiero became the first recipient of the newly created Connecticut Medal of Valor on December 27, 1957, were described at length in his official citation:
"Master Sergeant Albert Pensiero, displaying great courageous action, and at extreme personal risk, rescued more than twenty-four people from flooded homes in Unionville, and brought them to safety on high ground. Upon completion of this deed, Sergeant Pensiero, through many hazards and over many obstacles, was able to bring the Army [Duck Boat] with much needed medical supplies to the flood-ravaged town of Winsted.
Through Sergeant Pensiero's skillful handling and careful maneuvering of this military vehicle, although previously untrained in its operation, he was responsible for the saving of many lives and the prevention of greater tragedy by bringing the vehicle loaded with rescued persons through the raging flood waters of both towns to safety."
The Connecticut Medal of Valor was established to recognize men or women serving in the state's military service who display "conspicuous gallantry, at the risk of his [or her] life, above and beyond the call of duty, while on military service." To date, more than six decades after its creation, fewer than 20 men and women have earned the honor. Bravery in a time inundated with danger was remembered, and great valor rewarded, today in Connecticut history.

When you are an established force in the automotive industry but a newcomer to the F1 Racing arena, you can be humble or you can be Haas–who just announced that they think their first-ever F1 chassis is superior to Ferrari's. True or false, you simply must admire their bravado with that exceedingly bold claim. So what makes them think this to be true?
High performance aftermarket tuning endeavors have churned out an agressive gas-guzzling gem: Behold the Aston Martin V8 Vantage GT4 rally car. Makela Auto Tuning of Finland is the brains behind the project.
Just an Aston Martin V8 Vantage GT4 completely morphed into a rally car, no big deal.
Liberty Walk at SEMA: Best Tuned Lamborghini Aventador?
The Liberty Walk Aventador teasers have been out since early summer–and the real deal at the 2014 SEMA show was certainly not a letdown! The teasers of the tuned Lamborghini Aventador were shown in an aggressive red. The model at the show was sporting a more attractive powder blue hue, which most adored over the louder red. The wide body kit looks spectacular on the often-tuned Lamborghini Aventador.
Aftermarket specialist Vorseiner crafted a body kit for the vicious LP700. The Vorseiner Lamborghini Aventador kit replaces certain accent panels with carbon fiber, accentuating the curvaceous lady.
You could consider the Vorseiner Lamborghini Aventador kit a way to murder it out in carbon fiber.
This green looks sick, as would any number of colors. This kit is the Skittles.
Those purchasing this Aventador kit would likely end up coating the cockpit in carbon as well.
Aftermarket tuners DMC got their tools on an Aventador, and the result is pretty awesome! What you are looking at is the Lamborghini Aventador LP988 Edizione-GT by DMC. She is being billed as a stage 3 program, and it would be a shock if anyone would kick her out of their garage.
Fans of the all-new Lamborghini Huracan now have something to ignite further fire for the model: One of the first tuned versions of the Huracan. It is dubbed the Lamborghini Huracan LP850-4 Lucifero and it is by Wheelsandmore. Yes, that 850 part of the name does mean it unleashes a sinister 850 horses–making the Lucifero an appropriate touch to the title as well.
The Lamborghini Huracan LP850-4 Lucifero by Wheelsandmore is even more aggressive than the Aventador.
It is quite common for buyers of luxury vehicles to spend top dollar customizing them. It is not at all common for them to turn out as awesome as the Mansory Mercedes-Benz G63, which is pushing out a staggering 840 horses. If only the typical buyer was as awesome and innovative as high-performance aftermarket tuner Mansory is…the world would be a much better place…on the streets anyways.
The Most Beautiful McLaren MP4-12C Kit Available?
The outfit that is Hennessey Performance Engineering has acquired a Corvette Stingray C7 and had their way with it. Watch as they take the 700 horsepower Hennessey C7 up to 200.6 miles per hour on a closed Texas toll road!

Talking the Talk
An Open Letter to UK Feminists: We Need to Talk!
Miriam Kivlehan	Feminism	 February 22, 2018 February 22, 2018 8 Minutes
Do Mo Siúracha/To My Sisters
It saddened me recently to witness a collective of Irish women publish an 'Open Letter' to you, for the sole purpose of discrediting your current mission, silencing your voice and mobilising public hostility towards your proposed visit to Ireland. That it is based on ignorance and a heinous misrepresentation of our shared feminist history outrages me; that it implies their view is in any way representative of all Irish feminists shames me; and that it uses its object both to ostracise you and mobilise hatred and violence towards fellow Irish women, incenses every fibre of my being. There is no doubt about it, we need to talk!
I don't know exactly what you may or may not know about Irish feminism but what I know is, that in every single struggle for liberty from sex-based oppression, your matrilineal ancestors and sisters have stood alongside us, either should-to-shoulder on Irish soil or as underground allies to our forsaken women when they crossed the Irish sea. The shared feminist struggles of Irish and British women are unambiguously entwined in an alliance which has inspired and influenced the status of women in Ireland both up to and following the formation of the Irish State. To detail the full extent of this shared history would merit an entire book but for now, I offer a snapshot of some feminist highlights from the past century:
In 1876 Isabella Tod from Edinburgh and Anna Haslam from Cork both started the suffrage movement in Ireland. They were instrumental in the 1886 Repeal of the Contagious Diseases Act which had brutalized prostituted women. By 1896 they won the right for women to be elected as Poor law Guardians and by 1898 Irish women had won the vote for all local government bodies although they could not sit on County Councils until 1911.
In 1908 Hanna Sheehy Skeffington and Margaret Cousins founded the Irish Women's Franchise League and in 1909 Cousins spent three weeks training in England with the Women's Social and Political Union an experience which she described as "a helpful apprenticeship for our campaign later in Ireland."
In 1912 In protest against the Irish Parliamentary Party's exclusion of women's franchise from the Third Home Rule Bill, four English suffragettes Gladys Evans, Mary Leigh, Sarah Jane Baines (aka Lizzie Baker) and Mabel Capper, travelled to Dublin to participate with the Irish Women's Franchise League in their first militant defiance. Their actions, which included throwing a hatchet at vising Prime Minister Asquith and setting fire to the Royal Theatre, earned them sentences of up to five-years penal servitude, the first ever such sentences handed down to suffragettes. Incarcerated in Mountjoy Jail, the women went on Hunger Strike following which, the Irish Suffragettes joined them in solidarity. Mary Leigh became the first suffragette in Ireland to be force fed and Gladys Evans continued to be force fed for fifty-eight days.
In 1967 after the legalisation of abortion in the UK you opened your doors to the tens of thousands of Irish women who for the 50yrs since, have been criminalised in their own country and forced to travel abroad for abortions. And over the decades and prior to the Internet, subversive Irish and English women provided the informal Intelligence and logistics network which provided essential support to travelling Irish women: meeting them from buses, distributing phone numbers, providing sofas and paying for taxis. I'm not sure that we've ever thanked you for that!
In 1970 Margaret Dunlop (Gaj) born in Edinburgh and Mary Anderson born in London were both founder members of the Irish Women's Liberation Movement, a short lived but influential feminist movement. In their 1971 'Contraception Train' publicity stunt to highlight the criminal status of contraception in Ireland, some English women were amongst the 49 strong delegation of women who travelled to Belfast to bring contraband contraceptives back through customs to Dublin.
In 1983 when the Pro Choice Anti-Amendment Campaign fought to oppose the insertion of the 8th Amendment into the Irish Constitution, once again English Pro Choice women travelled over to participate in our campaign. Through the decades BPAS has been unyielding in their alliance with Irish referral services and advocating on our behalf on request.
That same year, women in the UK Labour Party who believed British women, in particular English women, had a political responsibility to support British withdrawal from Northern Ireland, constituted an autonomous group called Labour Women for Ireland (LWI). From the belief that women's liberation and national liberation were inextricably linked, they organised with anti-imperialist and republican women. Six separate delegations travelled to the North of Ireland from Sheffield, Brent and London (which resulted in some of them being expelled by their Trades Councils) and then returned home to lobby against the Strip Searching of women in Armagh and Brixton Prisons and to advocate for contraception and abortion rights for NI woman.
In 2012 following the death of Savita Halappanavar women in London and Edinburgh held protest vigils to coincide with the Dublin vigil, whilst feminist journalists have publicised her case ever since in publications such as the Guardian and the Independent.
In 2017 women in Glasgow, Aberdeen, London, Oxford, Cambridge, Royal Holloway, Manchester and Durham went on Strike For Repeal in solidarity with the Irish Campaign. That same year UK experts travelled to Ireland to contribute to making the case to Repeal the 8th Amendment at the Citizens Assembly.
And in recent years I, like many other Irish women who occasionally divert our gaze from our navel, know that whilst we were exposing and reconciling the injustice and trauma experienced by women incarcerated in Magdalene Asylums, you too were coming to terms with the exact same legacy in the UK. We know that Magdalene Asylums were established by the Church of England in both the UK and Ireland in the 1700's, and that by the 1900's there were 12 in Ireland (plus one Bethany Home) and 172 in England, all run by various religious organisations. That 35,000 women and girls went through nine Irish 'mother and baby homes' between 1904 and 1996, where thousands of mothers and children died and thousands more babies trafficked for adoption; is no greater nor lesser injustice than the estimated 500,000 UK women who went through similar institutions during that period, and where forced adoptions peaked in 1968 with 16,000 babies forcibly taken from women in England and Wales, that year alone. That there are Irish Feminists deriding you by Open Letter for not abandoning your own cause and rushing to ours, is sickening.
Our shared feminist alliance over this past century hasn't been without fracture and difference of opinion. When English suffrage organisations suspended their activism during World War 1 to recruit women into war work, it drove an ideological wedge between Irish and English feminists, as Irish women advocated a pacifist anti-war position. For the most part our mutual solidarity has been based on the pursuit of a shared struggle for liberty from sex based oppression and I am very much aware that when the English man had his boot on the necks of Irish men and women, he had the other placed firmly on the necks of his wife, his mother, his sisters and daughters.
One thing I have learned these past few decades is that when women subordinate their cause to other struggles, they lose. Too often we have conceded the grounds upon which we negotiate, to the terms of reference set by men. The 1983 Abortion Anti Amendment Campaign (AAC) was a case in point. When the opposition framed the debate as the "murder of babies" the AAC was unwilling to argue its case on the basis of promoting women's rights, and countering lies about abortion. They opted instead to argue on the grounds of "pluralism" and the rejection of sectarian laws rather than on 'abortion rights'. The so-called Left didn't stick its head above the parapet for their comrades. In its leaflet asking people to oppose the referendum The Workers' Party achieved the seemingly impossible – not only did the leaflet not mention abortion, it did not even mention women! The Irish Congress of Trade Unions leaflet wasn't much better only managing to include the word women in the final sentence.
The Left no more than the Right has proven to be an unreliable ally of feminism. Political ideology of all hues has been shaped and defined by patriarchs from ancient Greece to the present day. Likewise with every shade of theocracy. Aristotle, Machiavelli and Marx; Jesus Christ, Buddha and Allah; Dalai Lamas, Caliphs and Popes, have all shared one common practice – the subjugation of women. The rights of woman will ALWAYS be subjugated to the more noble purpose of man: indoctrination, war, political governance, commerce, sexual gratification and the liberation of one man from the binds of another. These causes are narrated as struggles for the 'liberation of people' but NONE of them seek to liberate women, their sole object is to advance the position of men. For centuries the word 'people' has been misappropriated to solicit women into the work of men, rendering them complicit in their own subjugation and in this regard, Liberal Feminism has delivered the greatest number of own goals: underwriting men's right to buy sex; guaranteeing supplies of women and girls to pimps and traffickers; endorsing the sexual violence and commodification of women in porn; giving their imprimatur to the eradication of protected spaces and status for women and; advocating for the sexual grooming of lesbians by trans identifying males. It is truly time to write the sequel to this Handmaids Tale which is why, we need to talk!
It is evident, that by stealth, the feminist movement has been infiltrated and commandeered by the interests of men, whose illegitimate power was being diminished by the advancement of women. Women as an oppressed sex class has been erased from the consciousness of women, young and old. Of course many never had the benefit of such consciousness, as the powerful spiritual and secular influencers ensured their psychological submission to the doctrine of the patriarchs. But others did, and in order to mitigate the dissidence of feminism, the patriarchal interests cleverly aligned themselves with the cause and became 'allies'. Misogyny was repackaged and sold back to women with media messages that would resonate with feminist thinking. The manipulation of what psychologists call 'mirroring' – the reflection of another's behaviour, speech pattern and attitudes, was used to build rapport and foster a belief that both sides shared similar attitudes and ideas. And so, the subjugation of females to male engineered feminism was branded and sold to women as Liberal Feminism. In the words of Sun Tzu "The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting."
In conclusion my dear sisters, it is seems to me that a re-radicalisation of feminism is both necessary and imminent. The contamination of feminist ideology by men is beyond neutralisation and I for one, am not prepared to bear witness to the gradual degradation of the liberties achieved by my matrilineal ancestors. Nor will I concede my own efforts of forty odd years, nor betray those of the many fantastic feminist women I've had the pleasure and privilege to befriend or work alongside over a number of decades – those of us who were not afraid to use the 'F' word in the face of contempt from men or pity from other women. But my bravado is of little consequence without the solidarity and camaraderie of other like minded feminists, an association that in this technological age transcends distance, political borders, social class and sectarianism. You my English sisters are amongst my comrades in the ongoing struggle against the sex based oppression of women, and you are most welcome to come visit my friends and I across the island of Ireland any time you want to, or need to talk. I look forward to meeting you with a céad míle fáilte (a hundred thousand welcomes).
I have no mandate to speak on behalf of other Irish women and have not solicited other signatories as an exercise of public validation. I am certain however that any woman who shares the sentiment herein, will find her own words to express them and her own means to addend any further commentary.

Thank you Miriam! A lot of historical info I didn't know about how both my English and Irish ancestors (I am half English and half Irish) worked together so well for the feminist cause. I too share your disappointment at the commercialisation and watering down of male centred (liberal) feminism (not feminism) and how it seems to laugh in the face of and undermine the work of our mothers and sisters who came before us.

Thank you – this is inspiring to those of us struggling with the so-called feminism that seems to have become what passes for the mainstream these days. Thank you for reminding us of our shared history and the solidarity it bears testament to.

In an age of ever-increasing reliance on digital information storage, password and other access code management has become a critical (but often overlooked) part of estate planning. After your death your Will Executor will be responsible for administering your estate. In order to do so effectively, he or she will need access to all documents and information related to your property, bank accounts, and other assets.
You should consider developing (and periodically updating) a list of important accounts and services with their corresponding access information.
You can provide this information to your Executor in a Letter of Instruction, which should ideally be stored in a safe at your home. Do not use a bank safe deposit box to store this letter or other documents that need to be accessed quickly, as it likely will not be able to be opened until after your Will has been read and implemented.
Although there are also password-storing services available online, storing a physical document in a safe in your home is probably the simplest method. Just be sure your spouse, Will Executor, or attorney has the code needed to access this Letter of Instruction.
See Do Your Own Will's Estate Planning Checklist for additional estate planning considerations.

Wrong Way / One Way Street?
August 11, 2009 by nathansnews
After day-long meetings today in "Peachtree City" (note: Peachtree City is NOT Atlanta ), I think I've caught up on news from back home.
Seems, the slow painful death of our Governor is still en vogue (mainly for folks who are running for higher office ). Also seems the Democrats are gonna have a bloodbath themselves in their gubernatorial primary. Just when I thought the GOP was the party that had a monopoly on attacks, smears and rumor campaigns.
I know the new candidate – by name only. We've never really talked more than anything other than "How's it going?" in the halls of the State House. He seems like a decent guy but (as voters will certainly do), I have to question one thing on his resume: his current job as a registered lobbyist.
State Law requires members of the General Assembly to wait one year before lobbying the body. That seems to make sense to me and others. Heck, the waiting period probably could/should be even longer than 12 months. But what I can't figure out is why isn't there a law that covers the reverse of this situation.
SECTION 2 17 15. Persons prohibited from serving as lobbyist; application of section.
(A) The Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, any other statewide constitutional officer, a member of the General Assembly, a director or deputy director of a state department appointed by the Governor and a member of the immediate family of any of these public officials may not serve as a lobbyist during the time the official holds office and for one year after such public service ends.
(B) The provisions of this section apply to the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, or any other statewide constitutional officer who is elected after December 31, 1993, or any member of the General Assembly who is elected after December 31, 1991, and any director or deputy director of a state department appointed after June 30, 1993.
So, let me get this straight. A lobbyist doesn't have a "waiting period" before he/she can run for office – either statewide or House/Senate? How'd the legislature miss that one?
I won't belabor the point. His primary opponents and other camps seem to already have that issue right in their cross-hairs . But I do have to ask y'all…..should we fix this next year? Seriously?
I don't mean this as anything against the new candidate, really. I'd even be willing to sponsor legislation that would be effective one year after our current governor signs into law (assuming the House/Senate would pass it).
Help me out here. Is this a common-sense idea? I realize it would be tough to pass but isn't it worth the fight? Reminds me of other common-sense ideas recently like voting-on-the-record , campaign-finance disclosure reform , term limits , and others.
Fixing this won't bring jobs to our state but it could keep us from getting on the Jon Stewart show, David Letterman show, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and other embarrassing situations. We've had enough of that already

"Eden Vision," the new single from Pleasure Systems, invites from an ascending, ethereal point of entry. The rhythm gradually awakens, ushering the narrator out of bed. Coming to grips with one's reality in a forthright manner, there's a nostalgia for the past as one experiences the aftermath of grief. The weight of those moments often is self-contained as the exterior world breezes by.

The Bachelor of Design Futures with Honours program (with an optional Bachelor of Design exit point after the successful completion of three years) offers one of the most progressive and exciting undergraduate programs not just in Australia but worldwide.
The program has been created to provide far more than the traditional knowledge and skills necessary for graduates to enter the existing design market. It has also been conceived to enable graduate designers to rise to the future design challenges that humanity now faces. Besides offering majors in Visual Communication Design, Interior Environments and Product Design, it also offers a major in Design Futures where the practice of design strategy can be learnt. The program provides each student with the opportunity to work individually and within teams, across cultures, on design projects in new areas of design and to become a design leader.

At the Geneva Motor Show, connected technologies company, Harman, announced an industry-first solution for automakers that addresses the industry-wide problem of stagnant map data for embedded navigation systems and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
Harman's new dynamic map layers solution dynamically identifies differences between on-board map data and real-world information being captured through a vehicle's ADAS, navigation system, and on-board sensors. The solution is already deployed in the market with a major German automaker. The dynamic map layers solution uses data collected from cameras and other car sensors to recognize road signs from the surrounding environment, and compares it with the digital map information from the onboard navigation system. If a difference is detected, the information is anonymized and sent to the cloud, where Harman's scalable cloud platform analyses the data collected from other similarly-equipped production vehicles. Using spatial machine learning techniques, the solution can then, in real-time, deliver critical updates back to the road network. Taking ADAS and navigation to the next level, map layers also updates vehicles with critical map details to ensure that the connected car and its driver are up to date about road conditions ahead.
The solution will keep ADAS and navigation systems up–to-date with speed limit changes, warn drivers of upcoming construction zones, and any other signs they may encounter on the road. Harman has also developed advanced hybrid learning algorithms that ensure the highest quality update, while achieving a small footprint on the embedded device and highly efficient over-the-air data transfer. The Harman system is based on the navigation data standard (NDS), meaning that dynamic map layers information could be shared among different vehicle makes and models that also use NDS for navigation purposes.
As the system is deployed across automakers, it will offer up broader industry-wide benefits, as OEMs can collaborate in building comprehensive, real-time representations of the road network. As the number of sensors in cars increase, this same standards-based system can be used to create updates to existing road maps, and even support the necessary high-definition map content required for various safety and autonomy applications within the connected car. More than 25 million automobiles currently on the road are equipped with Harman audio and connected car systems.


Five Minutes to Live is a 1961 American neo noir crime film. It was re-titled Door-to-Door Maniac for an American International Pictures re-release in 1966. The film stars Johnny Cash and Cay Forrester, who wrote the screenplay and whose husband, Ludlow Flower, produced.
Five Minutes to Live was one of only two theatrical film roles Cash performed on-screen in his career (A Gunfight, ten years later, was the other); he would appear in several made-for-television films and do some voice-over work in film later in his career.

Q: protobuf implementation for iOS and server I plan to use protobuf on both iOS and server side to take care of data models. I choose google protobuf compiler to generate java models on server side and use objective-c protobuf plugin compiler to generate objective models on iOS side.
I have the following questions, and hope someone can help.

*

*How to handle networking layer? What's the content-type for sending data to client ? I found some experts suggest "application/octet-stream" and some suggest application/x-protobuf.

*How can I use AFNetworking lib on client side.

*Is there sample project for iOS-server protobuf implementation?

A: Try using the following RPC framework built on protocol buffers: http://www.grpc.io/

A: I met the same question. How can I use AFNetworking to post my protobuf data?
I write these code:
NSMutableData *protubufData = [[NSMutableData alloc] init];
// 0XFF
int str = 0xff;
str = htonl(str);
[protubufData appendBytes:&str length:sizeof(str)];
// playerId
long playerId = 86966;
playerId = htonll(playerId);
NSData *playerIdData = [NSData dataWithBytes: &playerId length: sizeof(playerId)];
[protubufData appendData:playerIdData];
// sessionId
long sessionId = 1789586966;
sessionId = htonll(sessionId);
NSData *sessionIdData = [NSData dataWithBytes: &sessionId length: sizeof(sessionId)];
[protubufData appendData:sessionIdData];

int commandId = 17895;
commandId = htonl(commandId);
// size
u_long size = params.length+4;
size = htonl(size);
[protubufData appendBytes:&size length:4];
// commandId
NSData *commandIdData = [NSData dataWithBytes: &commandId length: sizeof(commandId)];
[protubufData appendData:commandIdData];
// data
[protubufData appendData:params];

I use AFN method:
- (NSURLSessionDataTask *)POST:(NSString *)URLString
                parameters:(id)parameters
                  progress:(void (^)(NSProgress * _Nonnull))uploadProgress
                   success:(void (^)(NSURLSessionDataTask * _Nonnull, id _Nullable))success
                   failure:(void (^)(NSURLSessionDataTask * _Nullable, NSError * _Nonnull))failure

but the protobuf data being received is not what is expected !
then I use NSURLConnection.  Abandoned AFN !
//Step One
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:baseProUrl];
//Step Two
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc]initWithURL:url cachePolicy:NSURLRequestUseProtocolCachePolicy timeoutInterval:10];
[request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
[request setHTTPBody:protubufData];
//Step Three
NSURLConnection *connection = [[NSURLConnection alloc]initWithRequest:request delegate:self];

//Step Four
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse *)response{
NSHTTPURLResponse *res = (NSHTTPURLResponse *)response;
NSLog(@"%@",[res allHeaderFields]);
}
-(void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)data{
NSData *prodata = [data subdataWithRange:NSMakeRange(12, data.length)];
VickyTest_Req *req = [VickyTest_Req parseFromData:prodata error:nil];
NSLog(@"req:%@",req);
}
-(void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection{
}
-(void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didFailWithError:(NSError *)error{
NSLog(@"%@",[error localizedDescription]);
}

Finally succeed!


Last month, the life and legacy of Vicky Taylor was truly celebrated by her family and friends from around the world. It was a service filled with deep joy and incredible hope. There were many tears as well as many reasons to smile and laugh.
We were reminded that cancer did not beat Vicky. She lived out even her final weeks, days and hours as she lived out the rest of her 51 years – victoriously.
Always hopeful, always smiling, always reaching out to others, always looking to Jesus.
And now she is with Him, dancing in His presence with that smiliest of smiles and experiencing all He has stored up for her eternally.
Thank you Father for Vicky Taylor and thank you for Jesus.


Season 3 of NBC World of Dance aired last night with the second round of performances of The Duels: The Upper Team Division. Celebrity judges Jennifer Lopez, Derek Hough, and Ne-Yo had the task of scoring each match-up, knowing only one act from each Duel will move forward to The Cut.
The Duels has added twist this season, giving the lower-scoring acts a chance at redemption. After The Duels concludes, the 2 highest scoring eliminated acts within each division will battle for a second chance to advance to The Cut.
The men of Fuego Dance crew were the first act of the night, and they brought creative choreography with them. Derek Hough felt the song lacked, but Ne-Yo appreciated that the choreography made up for it. Jennifer Lopez thought they lacked the tricks other crews do, but made up for it in personality and cleanliness.
The ladies of Siudy Flamenco were chosen to battle by Fuego Dance Crew. Derek Hough thanked them for taking the feedback from the last time they performed, and adding more true-flamenco movement. Ne-Yo was impressed, and Jennifer Lopez thought that their choreography outside of flamenco was basic.
Unity LA earned a standing ovation from judges Ne-Yo and Derek Hough. Ne-Yo complimented their energy and focus, saying he doesn't get "goosies," but if he did, he would have gotten them from this routine. Jennifer Lopez called them "rare," saying there wasn't an amazing core person, but the whole group was amazing. She said her reason for not standing at the end was their music choice.
Jennifer Lopez said the judges are struggling with their group because they're showing the judges the same things they've already seen before. Derek Hough said they stayed in the same formation for too long, but also liked the color of their outfits.
Ne-Yo said he was worried about the Exiles crew before they performed, but is no longer afraid now. Jennifer Lopez loved the fight they brought with them, and said they should be proud of themselves for the entire group stepping it up. Derek Hough said their performance was a lot better than what they brought to The Qualifiers.
The Heima also earned standing ovations from Ne-Yo and Derek Hough. They brought a new concept with interesting masks, and Ne-Yo described them as "contemporary breakers," saying it was almost a perfect performance. Jennifer Lopez appreciated that she could see everyone's talent, and the Derek Hough fawned over all of the new movements they created for this performance.
The ladies of Radiance left Jennifer Lopez literally speechless. Ne-Yo called it "girl power," and re-enacted his favorite part of the performance. Derek Hough said he loved the strength they gave, and Jennifer Lopez said their tricks were amazing, and the judges all agreed that their performance was powerful.
Motiv Crew finished with tears in their eyes by the end of their performance. Jennifer Lopez said they were clean and "came alive," and Derek Hough said the energy was electric. He said the intensity was so strong and they danced like they got picked by a super crew. Ne-Yo commended them on rising to the challenge, but critiqued them on their choreography, and said there should have been some parts that they should have slowed down to give their routine more time to resonate with the audience.
As the last duel performance of the evening, the men of The Kings earned a standing ovation and celebration from all three judges. Jennifer Lopez called the performance a "five-course meal," and said she didn't want to blink so she didn't miss anything. Ne-Yo said they should change their name to "The Fireworks" because their routine was explosive.
The two highest scoring eliminated acts of The Upper Team Division were Motiv Crew and Exiles.
After a tough battle, the judges chose Exiles to move forward to The Cut.

If you're in NYC starting October 26th, be sure to be a part of this amazing movement filled with art, healthy living, big smiles, and just overall feel-good goodness!
September 2, 2013 - Laboring away on Labor Day
We've started editing the first few episodes. Audio sync will take place very soon. There isn't much that we can tell you without giving away the surprises we have so we found this screenshot of Patrick. Won't you make it a meme? Send it to us @SecondHandNY on the Twittersphere, email it to us at SecondHandNY@Gmail.com, or share it with us and the world on Facebook!
Go ahead. Meme him. Meme him all night long.
July 20, 2013 - THAT'S IT! We finished filming!!
Now the hard part begins.
Thank you to everyone. I mean everyone. Those who have held a mic, focused the camera, said one line, gave us a space to film in, visited our social pages, wished us luck, and YOU reading this entry. Thank you for being there. With our amazing equipment, handful of talent, and just a pinch of good vibes, Season 2 will be a whole new world compared to Season 1 and it's because of you. Time to edit like crazy people and put together some pretty great episodes for your enjoyment.
July 19, 2013 - Day Before our
FINAL DAY OF FILMING!!
We can hardly contain ourselves. As Patrick put it, we all kind of feel like THIS. But anyway.
Julie, what is up? Stress getting to you? Is it the heat? What's wrong? WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE NANA??
You know how much time we've had in luxurious air conditioning while filming? I'd say about 30 minutes until we got kicked out. We've been filming every Saturday, morning to night, for 3 months. Only been kicked out of one location. Sweet.
Soon - SOON I SAY - we'll be getting you trailers, episodes, and maybe a party? Mayyybe?
Welp. If you see us in the famous Central Park tomorrow, make sure to say, "Hi"!
Aaaand we're back! Being away for so long we almost forgot how to turn on the cameras. If you're in New York City then you understand the heat we've been suffering through. Our set has no air conditioning. We have to shut off fans so the microphones don't pick up the sound. And we had two puppies that kept needing a walk outside in the burning sun. That's right. Puppies. No puppies were harmed during filming but one kept humping the other. I mean, non-stop. Luckily, they're both girls so no babies! Also, welcome back, Mr. Abellar- one of our directors from Season 1 has returned! We got a bunch in store for you guys so keep your pants on! Unless you're suffering from this heat wave to which I would recommend go ahead and take em OFF!
This last shoot was a lot of fun. We kind of wish you were there. Oh, and Pio Pio is delicious. That just needs to be said.
Now - We're on vacation! I lied. We just won't be shooting anything for two weeks but that doesn't mean we won't be working, marketing, or EDITING. We'll be thinking of you guys as we select the funniest of the funny and send them off to battle.
It was a packed weekend and SO many guest appearances from a bunch of talented people. Thanks to everyone that endured the many hours in an apartment with windows closed because we had to block out sound. Thanks to our crew who were willing to shoot things over and over. And over... and over.
Sometimes you lose sight of what you're working towards and just want to step away. That feeling only lasts for about 5 seconds. Look around you. Think about what brought you there in the first place. Consider the people that share the journey. Realize you chose this and it's a part of you now. We are really proud of what we've done so far and cannot wait to share with you all. Maybe you'll share with us, too!
- Second-HandNYer: Julie
(Two weeks later...) Sorry about that. We have been just a little on a busy side. Shooting in Central Park, Pierre Loti Midtown, and Corona, Queens - and that was just THIS weekend. Over to your right you see a smiling SecondHandNYer Ariel posing with our lovely ladies in one of our season 2 episodes "One Fine Day" and what a fine day it was. Who can stop traffic? These ladies. Take a gander at what they're all about HERE! We're just about at the half-way mark with shooting the entire season but don't whip out the popcorn yet. We still have editing to do. >:(
No, the guys aren't messing around playing basketball when they should be working. Well, they were but only for a couple of minutes! More actors and crew are getting involved for this season and we are loving it. Poor Julie had her nose raped by tree pollen when we were trying to shoot all day. Oh, and thanks to that homeless man shouting obscenities in Spanish. We wanted to get your name to credit you but, frankly, we were scared.
We did our moms proud on Mother's Day by working hard. Elmhurst, Queens has a lot of stray cats, by the way. None made any appearances and we're SORRY because we know how much the world needs more cats. When you get the chance send birthday wishes to SecondHandNY-er Ariel! Our cast member gets older on the 13th and we should show him some love!
Day Two of the shoot was a success. Sun was shining, camera was rolling, and we even got a few members of the Corona, Queens community involved. This season, we meet some family members, make new friends, and delve a little deeper into our characters' brains. Place your bets on who gets killed off first! Just kidding. We don't gamble.
Thanks to everyone that donated and supported us! March 18 was our final campaign day and since then we've been writing, editing, meeting with different people and BOY are we pumped! We were able to get new sound and video equipment and got the ball rolling this past Saturday. It was a full day's work but every minute is worth it.
http://igg.me/at/secondhandny/x/289395
Once upon a time in college there were three friends: Ariel, Julie, and Patrick. They went to theatre classes together and spent their spare time making jokes. One day Julie and Ariel were working on a film project and they thought, "we should make funny stuff together!" Another day, Julie and Patrick had the very same conversation. Light bulb! Second-Hand NY was born via cesarean.
The first season was a struggle, but it was completed. With it came fans - real fans! From one social network to another and word of mouth people were enjoying what Second-Hand NY was bringing to the table. After tirelessly working on 8 episodes with 1 camera and a billion improvisations they realized their visions of comedy could be so much clearer and full of light from a super nice lamp if they had some help. The team felt it was time to give the fans a second season using better equipment, learning from their mistakes, and do what they do best: entertain.
Our Campaign:
The $5000 will go towards a new boom mic, body mics and a digital recorder to try and record the best sound possible, although that is the most important thing to the team right now, they are aiming high in order to have a chance at buying a new camera (Canon EOS 5d Mark 2) and LED light stands.

SECOND PRECINCT NEWS
The first news is that Inspector Loining will be retiring at the end of January. He officially retires on January 30th. He is out ill this evening, so we can't give him our best wishes in person.
Then, our next Inspector will be Sean McGinty, currently serving as Inspector of the Third Precinct. His first day with us will be January 31. I've invited Inspector McGinty to PAC for our February 14 meeting, so we'll get to meet him then.
STATE OF THE PRECINCT: CPS Ali reporting.
Crime in the Precinct: We are dealing with small things yielding big consequences. With the cold weather, more people have been leaving their cars idling. Last week, we had an Amber alert for a car stolen with a child in the back seat. The mother went in the store for a few minutes which triggered the theft and the Amber alert. Fortunately, the child was found nearby in the abandoned car and returned unharmed to her family.
Rashid continues to remind residents that if residents could/would stop offering the opportunity for people to commit "crimes of opportunity", the Second Precinct crime statistics would fall by at least 50%. The data supports that statement. Small things can yield positive big consequences, too! Turn off the car and take the keys with you, please!
One good statistic: burglary has remained low for many months.
There is considerable pressure on officials to prosecute these carjackings and related violent crimes. Residents of Minneapolis and the suburbs want to see consequences.
Atty Filardo reported that her office (Hennepin County Attorney) will come to 2-PAC or to neighborhood meetings to answer questions about the car-jackings and related crime. Contact her at sandra.Filardo@hennepin.us
QQ for Rashid: You said burglaries are down. Can you provide some context? Are those burglaries of business or home burglaries?
AA: The reduction is in home burglaries and garage burglaries. The cause right now may be the cold weather, but the bigger reality is that a lot more people are working from home. [EQ: thus reducing those crimes of opportunity, proving Rashid's point.]
Emilie commented that the burglary numbers tend to go up in SE Mpls when U of MN students return from winter break and discover items are missing from their apartments. Nick chimed in that the UMPD sent messages to students ("Take your stuff with you") and to property owners or managers to keep up surveillance. He also commented that people concerned about package thefts can take advantage of Amazon and other companies' package holding services. [EQ: Office Max at the Quarry has such a service, and I've picked up an Amazon package at Rosedale(? or maybe HarMar) and liked the service] Also: ask your neighbors to keep an eye open if they're going to be working from home.
Rashid reminded us that usually, when students are coming back, Inspector Loining schedules a burglary suppression patrol. That is an overtime patrol. If we have the officers, they'll be out there. That is something the Inspector has always promoted, so he will try to find a way to make that work.
Nick chimed in that UMPD is still supporting extra patrols in Dinkytown, Marcy-Holmes East/Stadium Village area, and now further into the WestBank neighborhood.
QQ: Are there personal safety and defense classes in the area?AA: EQ: I'm stumped. The Budo at Broadway and Stinson has closed. Nick suggested the U of MN Rec. Center, which is available to U of MN Students, staff, alumni and a few other people. If anyone has any suggestions about safety and defense classes nearby, please let us know. Places like Eastside Neighborhood Services and the YMCA offer fitness classes and agility classes (which can't hurt), but not safety and awareness classes. Ditto, for us greyheads, Silver Sneakers.
12/24 BUFFET NEWS Emilie Quast reporting
The 37th 2-PAC 12-24 10-hour buffet was held after all. We got off to a late start for a number of reasons, but when we finally got our go-ahead, experience kicked in.
The volunteer who contacts most of our food donors reported she got a lot of encouragement from donors: "That's good news!" "We were waiting for your call!" and, most important: "How much?"
Early on, a staunch Second Precinct supporter started making plans when he didn't hear any announcement from us. He is a restaurant owner so he knew how many kinds of trouble we might be having. When I finally got to announce that we were giving it a try, Larry Ranallo offered us the use of his event center at the NE Moose, which he was going to use if we couldn't offer the event. This space offers safe seating distance for over 50 people at a time and it's serviced by a professional kitchen staff who know what they're doing. Another real advantage is that Mr. Ranallo knows more first responders than I'll ever meet, and he has their cell phone numbers.
The result was that we logged 94 attenders (about half of a normal year), but many reported they had staff who couldn't make it because of low staffing. We sent take-outs to feed almost as many as showed up.
Another positive result was that after regular volunteers heard that the event was NOT going to be held in the break room at the Precinct, several who had first turned me down, said they'd be happy to help in the larger, better ventilated (and safer) room.
The final result was that we had more people than we would have had otherwise, and sent out food for again that many folks. More important, on-duty First Responders were reminded they are appreciated.
I have to add that I had a Covid test seven days later, and it was negative. Additionally, none of the volunteers called me with bad news.
The public Thank-You note appeared in the January 19 Northeaster, on page 7. We hope you spend your eat-out dollars at the restaurants listed there. That's the best way to thank them for helping us support our Second Precinct.

Probation Officer Ihrke stepped in and sent the following: The City Attorney's office has been charging felony cases including 5 assaults, 3 burglaries, 1 crime in the family, 1 invasion of privacy, 1 charge of receiving and concealing, 1 robbery, 1 vehicle theft, related.
That is a step ahead. In December, Atty Okoronkwo had reported the City Attorney's office was deciding which cases to charge, so now the offenders have been charged.

Italian cruise with 2 tourists suspected of coronavirus stalled at Civitavecchia port
By Ken Vincent Rosales
Science, Europe
The Costa Smeralda, an Italian cruise, was stalled at the Italian port city of Civitavecchia after two tourists showed signs of deadly coronavirus.
Italian cruise stalled
Around 6000 passengers from the Italian cruise Costa Smeralda are held on lockdown at the port of Civitavecchia. Health inspectors confirmed that two suspected cases of the deadly coronavirus were on board the cruise ship. Only assigned doctors and nurses were allowed to go in and out of the cruise ship to monitor the patients and extract samples.
The Costa Smeralda is an Excellence-class cruise ship under the Costa Crociere (Costa Cruises) Italian cruise line, owned by the Carnival Corporation & plc. The cruise ship is considered the fifth largest in the world, with a maximum capacity of 6554 passengers.
The Costa Smeralda came from Palma de Mallorca before stopping at the port of Civitavecchia. The route is part of a week-long cruise of the Mediterranean.
Suspected coronavirus
The Costa Smeralda was stalled at the port of Civitavecchia, as advised by the medical staff on board, with two passengers suspected of the deadly coronavirus.
The suspected passengers were a couple who flew to Milan from Hong Kong on Saturday to join the cruise. One of them was a 54-year-old woman from Macau, which showed symptoms such as fever was immediately put into isolation overnight in the ship's hospital ward.
The husband did not show any symptoms but was also tested by the doctors authorized to board the cruise ship. Results are expected to be back later in the afternoon.
In a press statement by the Costa Crociere management;
As soon as the suspected case emerged, medical staff onboard immediately activated the protocol health procedures for cases of this kind.
Coming from Mayor Ernesto Tedesco of the city of Civitavecchia, the situation of the suspected coronavirus at their port is well under close monitoring.
Several passengers inside the cruise ship grew wary about the lockdown, but authorities are doing their best to handle the situation and prevent further panic.

U.S. Sen. Patty Murray first introduced the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act and was joined by senators from Oregon and Idaho. A provision in the bill will start the process for returning the Kennewick Man to where he belongs, according to Murray.
"This victory would not have been possible without the determination, collaboration, and leadership of the claimant tribes of the Columbia River plateau, who impressed upon me just how much it meant to them for Congress to end decades of debate and to give them the opportunity to give their descendant a proper burial and a final resting place," Murray said in a statement.
The bill now heads to President Barack Obama to be signed into law, she said.
The Kennewick Man remains were discovered in 1996 on federal land near the Columbia River. Experts estimate that they are at least 8,400 years old, making the Ancient One among the oldest and most complete skeletons found in North America.
In 2015, new genetic evidence determined the remains were closer to modern Native Americans than any other population.
The provision in the bill transfers the skeletal remains from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to the Washington Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation, which will carry out repatriation of the remains to the tribes.

Loopy Games: An Iterative Games Design Workshop
Workshop Categories: Algorithms & Programming , Communication & the Internet , IT/Digital Literacy & Online Safety , Careers
Loopy Games aims to help pupils design and create their own game using methodology that reflects the processes followed in the UK Games Industry. Developed in consultation and collaboration with Kuato Studios and the Video Games Ambassadors, this workshop brings industry expertise into the classroom.
Organised into groups, pupils develop and research their own game idea. Each pupil takes the responsibility for a different aspect of the game, namely: artwork, sound, game design and game mechanics. The roles are interchangeable and each pupil is able to develop their skills in a specific area, such as graphical editing, sound editing, programming and design.
An interative methodology is used, where groups are given the opportunity to gather feedback and revisit their designs at each stage of the development process. The end result is a complex and engaging game, made possible only because of effective team work.
If you have any questions about the workshop, please get in touch with the team: dsh@ukie.org.uk

Q: jQuery TreeView with ASP.NET MVC how to pass argument to url Here's the problem:
I'm trying to do an Active Directory Explorer with Asynch. jQuery TreeView. In standard ASP.NEt it was fairly easy with builtin TreeView and some events in code-behind.
The problem is that I don't exactly know how can I pass different arguments depending on which treeview leaf is being expanded. Based on this example http://view.jquery.com/trunk/plugins/treeview/demo/async.html I can see that there is a very simple if with PHP and the 'root' argument is passed on page load.
Eg.
I have this tree:
+A
+B
+C
and i want to call MyController/MyAction/B when expanding B. Should I add some method in
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $("#black").treeview({
            url: "source.php"
                        toggle: do_something_here?
        })
    });
    </script>

I'm kinda stuck in here, so any help would be appreciated.

A: As yoiu can see if you use Firebug with the demo, expanding the node fires a GET request for data:
http://view.jquery.com/trunk/plugins/treeview/demo/source.php?root=36
The response is just JSON:
[
    {
        "text": "1. Review of existing structures",
        "expanded": true,
        "children":
        [
            {
                "text": "1.1 jQuery core"
            },
            {
                "text": "1.2 metaplugins"
            }
        ]
    },
    {
        "text": "2. Wrapper plugins"
    },
    {
        "text": "3. Summary"
    },
    {
        "text": "4. Questions and answers"
    }

]

So you could write an MVC action (don't use .php in the URI, though!):
public JsonResult Source(string root)
{
    var model = new object[]
        {
            new
            {
                text = "1. Review of existing structures",
                expanded = true,
                children = new object[]
                {
                    new
                    {
                         text = "1.1 jQuery core",
                    },
                    new
                    {
                         text = "1.2 metaplugins"
                    }
              }
          },
          new
          {
              text = "2. Wrapper plugins"
          },
          new
          {
              text = "3. Summary"
          },
          new
          {
              text = "4. Questions and answers"
          }
      };
   return Json(model);
}

From here, it should be obvious how to switch based on the root argument.

Apple has released a new round of security updates for iOS 12 and iCloud that resolve numerous vulnerabilities.
For iOS, these updates resolve two passcode bypasses and for iCloud there are numerous, including critical, vulnerabilities that were fixed.
Included in this update are also fixes for the charging and WiFi bugs that users of the new iPhone XS have been experiencing.
With the release of iOS 12.0.1, Apple fixed two vulnerabilities, one in QuickLook and the other in VoiceOver, that would allow you to bypass the iOS lock screen and see contacts, photos, emails, and telephone numbers.
Both of these vulnerabilities were discovered by security researcher Jose Rodriguez, who demonstrated how to perform them in two YouTube videos.
Exploiting these vulnerabilities require a lot of steps, access to the phone, and from the videos, are not easy tasks to perform. You can see Rodriguez performing one of the vulnerabilities in the video below.
These vulnerabilities have been assigned CVE IDs CVE-2018-4380 and CVE-2018-4379.
With the release of iCloud for Windows 7.7.12, Apple patches 19 security vulnerabilities, with 13 of them being the most critical as they allow arbitrary code execution. Code execution vulnerabilities are the most dangerous as they allow attackers to execute commands on a device remotely.
These vulnerabilities were assigned the following CVE IDs: CVE-2018-4191, CVE-2018-4311, CVE-2018-4316, CVE-2018-4299, CVE-2018-4323, CVE-2018-4328, CVE-2018-4358, CVE-2018-4359, CVE-2018-4319, CVE-2018-4309, CVE-2018-4197, CVE-2018-4306, CVE-2018-4312, CVE-2018-4314, CVE-2018-4315, CVE-2018-4317, CVE-2018-4318, CVE-2018-4345, and CVE-2018-4361.

Home Business Laws & Regulations Employment Standards Act (ESA) – What Businesses Need to Know
Employment Standards Act (ESA) – What Businesses Need to Know
A law called the Employment Standards Act, 2000 (ESA) establishes minimum employer obligations and employee rights with respect to rates of pay, hours of work and overtime, vacations, public holidays, leaves of absence and more. Every province and most industrialized countries have similar laws in place to protect employees. The ESA applies to most employees and employers in Ontario.
Here are some key employment standards you should be aware of:
The Employment Standards Poster
The Employment Standards Poster describes important rights and requirements under the Employment Standards Act, 2000. The poster must be posted in the workplace where it is likely that employees will see it. Employers are also required to give every employee a copy of the poster. It is available in multiple languages and can be downloaded from the Ministry of Labour website for free at Ontario.ca/ESAposter.
There are limits to the number of hours employees can work in a day and in a week. Employees can agree in writing to work more hours to meet your business needs, but if the extra hours exceed the weekly limit, approval by the Ministry of Labour is required. To learn more about hours of work rules, visit Ontario.ca/ESAguide and click on "Hours of Work," or try our Hours of Work and Overtime Tool at Ontario.ca/ESAtools.
Most employees are entitled to be paid at least the minimum wage. A general minimum wage applies to most employees. There are different minimum wages for students, liquor servers, homeworkers, and hunting and fishing guides. To find out the current minimum wages visit: Ontario.ca/minimumwage.
Vacation time and pay
Most employees earn at least two weeks of vacation time after every 12 months of employment and are entitled to be paid at least 4 per cent of their total wages earned in that 12-month period as vacation pay. To learn more visit Ontario.ca/vacation.
Ontario has nine public holidays every year. Most employees are entitled to take these public holidays off work with public holiday pay. Try our Public Holiday Calculator and calculate the public holiday pay for your employees: Ontario.ca/ESAtools.
Under the ESA, eligible employees are entitled to several types of unpaid, job-protected leaves of absence. Employees cannot be terminated for asking for or taking these leaves of absence. To learn more about the various types of leaves of absence, visit Ontario.ca/ESAguide.
Termination notice and pay
If you are terminating an employee's job, the employee generally qualifies for written notice, termination pay instead of notice, or a combination of both. The amount of notice or pay depends on how long the employee has been working for you and the number of employees being terminated in a four-week period. Try our Termination Tool at Ontario.ca/ESAtools.
Employment standards enforcement
Employees who feel their rights have been violated under the Employment Standards Act (ESA) can file a complaint with the Ministry of Labour and have their complaint investigated by an employment standards officer. The employer is provided with an opportunity to participate in the investigation. They may be required to provide evidence, records or other information. If an employment standards officer determines that an employee's rights have been violated, the employer will be required to remedy the violation (for example, by paying money that is owed to the employee). In addition, the employer may be prosecuted.
Employees cannot be punished by their employer for claiming their rights. This is known as a 'reprisal.' Businesses that commit a reprisal have been ordered to compensate employees, often for thousands of dollars.
Proactive inspections
The ESA is enforced by employment standards officers who visit businesses throughout Ontario to help educate employers on their obligations and ensure that employees' rights are being protected. Employment standards officers proactively visit businesses even if no complaint has been filed by an employee. These officers will help you correct areas where your business is not complying with the ESA. Employment standards officers usually provide advance notice of a visit. They will review your records and speak to you and your employees. If there are issues of non-compliance, they will discuss these with you and depending on the nature of the violation, they may provide an opportunity to correct them before taking enforcement action.
Each year, hundreds of prosecutions are brought against employers for violating the ESA. Some prosecutions have resulted in fines and/or court orders of tens of thousands of dollars or more. Where the employer is an individual, rather than a corporation, he or she can also face jail time. In addition, directors of corporations can be held personally liable for their company's violations and can also face monetary penalties and jail sentences. In the long run, these penalties cost businesses much more money than compliance. Some names of convicted employers and directors are posted on the Ministry of Labour's website.
The first step to compliance is knowing what the law requires. It is easy to find information about the ESA. The Ministry of Labour's website is one of the best places to begin:
ca/EmploymentStandards
ca/ESAguide
ca/EmploymentRights (for information in multiple languages)
If you have a question and would like to speak to one of the Ministry of Labour's experts, call the Employment Standards Information Centre at: 416-326-7160 (Greater Toronto Area) | 1-800-531-5551 (Toll-free) | 1-866-567-8893 (TTY for the hearing impaired).
Information is available in multiple languages.

Rami Malek plays Queen frontman Freddie Mercury in "Bohemian Rhapsody."
It's always a challenge for an actor to portray a real life person, but signing up to play Freddie Mercury, the supremely unique Queen frontman, is something altogether different. Even so, actor Rami Malek knew he wanted in. He flew himself to London and set about researching Mercury even before "Bohemian Rhapsody" had been officially green-lit. The surviving members of the band had final say on who was cast, so there was that added pressure too. And to top it all off, the first scene he had to shoot was Queen's legendary 1985 Live Aid performance, considered one of the best rock performances of all time. Malek spoke with The Frame about how he was able to tune out the expectations of others to play Mercury in "Bohemian Rhapsody."
The streaming service usually debuts its original movies in theaters and online on the same day. But Netflix now says it will open movies in theaters weeks before they begin streaming. Among the first to benefit will be Alfonso Cuarón's Academy Award hopeful, "Roma." What's behind the change in policy, and will theater owners embrace the change?


For many years Ardbeg Baptist Church in King Street has held coffee mornings, almost every Saturday of the year.
Every year on one Saturday near Christmas there is a very special coffee morning, where on top of serving coffee and tea, there are stalls of home baking, preserves,craft and bric a brac etc.
The date used to be the first Saturday in December, but it was realised that at that period of the year there were many clashing activities on Bute, so the date was moved to late November, and this year the Christmas Coffee Morning is to be held on November 24, between 10 am and 12 noon.
Unlike the weekly occasions, there will be an entry charge of £2.50 for adults. So why not head along and find yourself a bargain.


The Fanes Hut is located in the heart of the Dolomites, in the legendary Fanes Empire amidst the Fanes - Senes- Braies Natural Park.
The hut can be reached by foot from La Valle, from S. Leonardo in Badia and from S. Cassiano.
In winter time the hut can be reached by ski, by foot, with snow-shoes or with a snow cat from Pederü (6 km). In summer time the hut offers a jeep shuttle for its guests.

Man to appear in court over dredger collision that killed yachtswoman
Isobel Smith
The officer of the watch is due to appear in court in Ipswich on Tuesday afternoon
A Dutch national is to appear in court on Tuesday afternoon over a dredger collision that killed yachtswoman Bernadine Ingram.
Gerardus Johannes Chapel was the officer of the watch onboard a dredger when it collided with a yacht off the coast of Felixstowe on 8 June.
Peter Ingram was rescued from the water shortly after the incident, however emergency services were unable to find Mrs Ingram, with the 57-year-old's body being recovered from inside the sunken vessel the next day by divers.
The couple's two dogs, which had also been onboard at the time of the crash, but only one was
found alive.
Following an investigation by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), the dredger's watch officer has been charged under section 58 of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995.
An MCA spokesperson said: "Gerardus Johannes Chapel, from the Netherlands, was officer of the watch on the dredger Shoreway which collided with the yacht Orca off Felixstowe on 8 June 2014.
"He's been charged with failing to discharge his duties properly, as such the manner of his acts and/or omissions caused or were likely to cause loss destruction, death or injury, contrary to
section 58(4) of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995."
The defendant will appear before South East Suffolk Magistrate's Court in Ipswich on Tuesday.
