The California Southern Railroad was a subsidiary railroad of the Atchison and Santa Fe Railway in Southern California. It was organized July 10,1880, and chartered on October 23,1880, construction began in National City, just south of San Diego, in 1881, and proceeded northward to the present day city of Oceanside. The line, completed on November 9,1885, formed the end of Santa Fes transcontinental railroad connection to Chicago. Portions of the line are still in use today as some of the busiest rail freight. The California Southern was organized on July 10,1880, as a means to connect San Diego to a connection with the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad at an undetermined point. One of the financial investment companies involved in the Santa Fe. Pratt, George B. Wilbur and Thomas Nickerson who was president of the Santa Fe, the California Southern built its track northward from a point in National City, south of San Diego. In Barstow, known as Waterman, the California Southern would connect to another Santa Fe subsidiary, from there, the railroad was to continue to the Pacific Ocean following whatever proved to be the best route.
The route was scheduled to be completed by July 4,1878, the Southern Pacific was able to get a clause favorable to their own interests inserted into the charter. The California segment was leased to the Santa Fe in August 1884, the California Southern began construction in National City on land originally acquired by Frank Kimball. Surveys and construction between National City and San Diego were well underway by March 1881, the railroad reached Fallbrook and opened between there and San Diego in January 1882. In 1881 and 1882, the California Southern received ten locomotive shipments by sea at National City, the railroad, didnt understand the nature of Southern Californias dry washes. Local inhabitants warned the railroad of the dangers of building such an area, that it could become a raging torrent of water. Despite the warnings, track work through the canyon proceeded at a quick pace and they completed the line to Fallbrook on January 2,1882, to Temecula on March 27,1882. Many parts of the canyon had suffered storms, in February 1884, a storm hit.
Disneyland Park, originally Disneyland, is the first of two theme parks built at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, opened on July 17,1955. It is the theme park designed and built under the direct supervision of Walt Disney. It was originally the attraction on the property, its name was changed to Disneyland Park to distinguish it from the expanding complex in the 1990s. Walt Disney came up with the concept of Disneyland after visiting various amusement parks with his daughters in the 1930s and 1940s. He initially envisioned building a tourist attraction adjacent to his studios in Burbank to entertain fans who wished to visit, after hiring a consultant to help him determine an appropriate site for his project, Disney bought a 160-acre site near Anaheim in 1953. Construction began in 1954 and the park was unveiled during a televised press event on the ABC Television Network on July 17,1955. Opened in 2001, Disney California Adventure Park was built on the site of Disneylands original parking lot, Disneyland has a larger cumulative attendance than any other theme park in the world, with over 650 million guests since it opened.
In 2013, the park hosted approximately 16.2 million guests, according to a March 2005 Disney report,65,700 jobs are supported by the Disneyland Resort, including about 20,000 direct Disney employees and 3,800 third-party employees. To all who come to this place, Welcome. Here age relives fond memories of the past, and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the facts that have created America, with the hope that it will be a source of joy. The concept for Disneyland began when Walt Disney was visiting Griffith Park in Los Angeles with his daughters Diane and Sharon. While watching them ride the merry-go-round, he came up with the idea of a place where adults and their children could go and have fun together and he may have been influenced by his fathers memories of the Worlds Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago. Another likely influence was Benton Harbor, Michigans nationally famous House of Davids Eden Springs Park, Disney visited the park and ultimately bought one of the older miniature trains originally used there, the colony had the largest miniature railway setup in the world at the time.

Want to know some great tips to help you with your waist training process? Everyone needs to get their summer bodies ready and waist training will help do just that! Read along to learn some of the best tips that will keep your progress soaring.
Purchase a corset cut for men (narrower in hip, longer torso) this will help you get that perfect shape.
Short 10.5″ cincher corsets work great for shaping your immediate waist, but if you would like to hide a lower 'beer' belly, then go with a 11.5″ to 14″ Underbust Corset.
Take it one day at a time. Gradual integration of corsets into your everyday life will be most beneficial. You need to first get used to wearing corsets- jumping right in with wearing tightlace corsets all the time will be very uncomfortable. Starting by wearing a corset a couple hours a day, not tied as tight as possible, will help your body get used to this lifestyle. It will also help you break-in your corset- if you haven't done so already. Waist training using this approach will help you establish a long-term habit instead of a temporary obsession.
Have patience. Everyone's comfort levels are different, and everyone body types are different as well. Reshaping the body with waist training is a time consuming thing. Your body isn't just going to reshape overnight! Reshaping is highly dependent on a couple factors in any individual. Some things include: the core density, distance from the pelvic bone to the rib cage, flexibility of the cartilage, quality/shape of the garment, and consistency of wear. It is normal to train for at least six months before noticing any huge differences with your body. One needs to be patient and realize that this process needs serious time.
Don't use your waist trainer if you experience shortness of breath.
Don't use your waist trainer if you experience numbness in your legs.
Don't use your waist trainer if you experience sharp stomach pains.
Don't use your waist trainer if you experience any pinching or swelling around your midsection.
Check out our great variety of corsets and waist trainers on our website Glamourboutique.com for perfect garmets made specifically for waist training for men. You will not go wrong!

Leicester lockdown unveils the truth about its fast fashion industry
Euronews	| Jul 12, 2020 21:30
Fast fashion and a lockdown boom in online ordering has exacerbated poor working conditions at a UK factory and could have helped fuel a local spike in COVID-19 cases, it has been claimed.
The organisation Labour Behind The Label (LBTL) says a company which supplies online retail giant Boohoo has been found to be exploiting workers, paying illegal wages and failing to safeguard its employees against COVID-19.
Workers told Euronews that the factories have not been made COVID safe: "it was as normal as before [coronavirus]. No gloves, no masks, no social distance, nothing at all," says Nick Sakhizadah, a textile factory worker.
During an interview with our correspondent, some of the factory owners attempted to intimidate Sakhizadah and the other workers for "telling the truth", which he says is part of the problem.
Number of illegal workers could be in their "tens of thousands"Colin Whyatt, regional organiser for trade union GMB in Leicester, believes around two thousand factories employ illegal workers which he says could mean tens of thousands of illegal employees who are vulnerable to trafficking and modern slavery.
Whyatt added that at an ethical trade conference he attended four years ago, auditors admitted to turning a blind eye to these poor conditions because of a loss in revenue if the factory was forced to close.
Leicester East MP Claudia Webbe told Euronews that the government could have stepped in earlier. She says: "I just wonder, if this was a different community whether help would have been provided much sooner so that workers weren't exploited in this way".

Experts call for 'total abandonment' of fast-fashion to prevent environmental disaster
Boohoo booms and Primark plummets - how has coronavirus really affected fast fashion?
Inside the Leicester sweatshops accused of modern slavery
Why has this happened?Demand for 'fast fashion'The campaign group say Boohoo accounts for 80 per cent of Leicester's capacity and they have for years set garment producers in competition against each other to drive prices down.
LBTL found a very recent order from Boohoo for 1 million pairs of cycling shorts to be produced in Leicester for £1.80 per pair (unit) including packaging, labelling, factory overheads, labour costs and delivery. These shorts have been reportedly sold on Boohoo and its sister site Pretty Little thing for between £3-£10.
At the same time, Sakhizadah says he has been paid considerably less than minimum wage during lockdown. He says: "I'm working for free and taking this big risk".
Megan Lewis from LBTL says: "Brands like Boohoo make a huge profit by pushing prices as low as they can, and this is why they have allowed the situation to go on like this."
She adds: "For too long, brands have distanced themselves from their suppliers, when they know that exploitation is an inevitable outcome from their poor purchasing practices demanding low prices and fast production times."

Where are the trade unions in this?Susan Harris, Director of Legal Services at GMB, says it is not compulsory for an employer to admit a trade union into the premises. In addition, Harris says there is often mistrust and a reluctance from workers in this industry to join a trade union:
"If people were encouraged to join unions, if we had the right to visit workplaces and have access to workers to question if there was any failure by the employer to comply with legislation - whether that relates to Health and Safety, wages etc - then this type of exploitation would be reduced or eliminated."
Vulnerable workersData from the campaign group details that around a third (33.6%) of workers in Leicester's garment industry are born outside of the UK and most of the workers come from minority backgrounds.
Workers who are not born in the UK are more vulnerable to abuse and exploitation due to their immigration status or language skills.
"If people don't know their rights, they don't know that they can complain or know how to complain. And if you then factor into that lack of knowledge with the fact that many of these workers will not have English as their mother tongue then the conditions exist for unscrupulous people to exploit workers," outlines Harris.
"We need better legislation and regulation within the industry and the government must step up to make these changes," says Lewis from LBTL. "The government must also take responsibility for the wider economic and racial inequalities that leave workers vulnerable to such exploitative labour."
The government must also take responsibility for the wider economic and racial inequalities that leave workers vulnerable to such exploitative labour.

LBTL are now calling on Boohoo to commit to transparency and to take more responsibility of their supply chain.
"Boohoo must commit to paying living wages for all workers in their supply chain and crucially, they should commit to supply chain transparency. Other brands have published lists of factories and workshops where their clothes are made, and Boohoo must do this too."

HealthStream CEO Rewards Employees with Contribution of Personally Owned Shares of Company Stock
NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 27, 2019-- HealthStream (Nasdaq: HSTM) announced today that its chief executive officer, Robert A. Frist, Jr., has contributed approximately $2.0 million of his personally owned shares of HealthStream common stock for the benefit of HealthStream employees. To accomplish this, Mr. Frist has contributed 78,520 of his shares to HealthStream, and HealthStream has approved the grant of that same number of shares under its 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan to eligible employees, as noted below. It is contemplated that these shares, which will not be subject to any vesting conditions, will be issued in late July.
Approximately 820 HealthStream employees will receive shares of stock from this contribution, which will include all active employees with the exception of the Company's executive officer team.
"Since our initial launch as a two-person company in 1990, HealthStream has grown into a leading provider of workforce development solutions for healthcare organizations—and our employees have made this happen," said Robert A. Frist, Jr., chief executive officer, HealthStream. "I am excited to make this contribution to allow our employees, many of whom have not previously participated in our equity programs, to become owners in the Company that they helped to build and join all of our financial stakeholders in the future success of HealthStream."
The grant of HealthStream common stock for employees will result in no dilution of shares to any existing shareholders other than Mr. Frist. In addition, Mr. Frist has contributed an additional 7,852 shares (valued at approximately $200,000) to HealthStream, without consideration paid to Mr. Frist, which amount is equivalent to the estimated Company costs associated with the equity grants, such as administrative expenses and employer payroll taxes which will be associated with the grants. The Company will record a compensation expense of approximately $2.0 million, along with approximately $200,000 for such administrative expenses and employer payroll taxes, in connection with this transaction in the second quarter of 2019. The only impact on adjusted EBITDA in connection with this transaction will be approximately $200,000 of such payroll tax and administrative expenses.
"Our employees are united in their strong commitment to our vision to improve the quality of healthcare delivery and their hard work over the years is making a difference," said Mr. Frist. "For those that have been on this journey, I want to recognize their service with this expression of my appreciation."

Black Ops 4 (Beta): Quick first impressions
Surprisingly enough the Black Ops 4 beta turned out to be pretty decent (that is for a Call of Duty game).
Right from the start it showed a little bit of its ugly side though. Textures on the characters loaded in extremely slowly, and the first map I got into also took a while to load in the full detail.
While, graphically, the game isn't overwhelmingly gorgeous, it isn't bad to look at once it loads in properly. It has that typical Black Ops 2 & 3 style to the graphics.
At times friendlies seemed be very jumpy; almost like the session was lagging badly, but enemies rarely had this rubber banding going on.
The new self healing mechanic is weird at first, but after some getting used to it, it seems like a welcome edition. It feels like it adds some strategy and thought to when to hide and heal and when to engage.
Shotguns have been moved to the secondary slot which makes them feel underpowered, and SMGs feel extremely underpowered. Assault Rifles feel like the strongest weapon tier easily, but LMGs and snipers feel fair to use as well. Tactical rifles have their own section, and in the current map selection they feel too weak. The current map selection favors medium and short distance fights, but these don't work very well in the shorter ranges.
Specialists and their equipment are fun to use and decently balanced. They are also much improved on from Black Ops 3. They feel like they actually affect the flow of the game now, and that your choice of specialist could make a difference in the outcome of the match.
The gameplay this time around feels like it rewards smart play much more than fast play. The changes to health really push this as well as some of the specialist equipment.
The new vision system feels like a vast improvement over the standard Call of Duty map vision. It works a lot more like a MOBA now; on the map you see what your teammates have vision of as well as any sensors deployed (these work like wards but are only available if you have them equipped to your class/specialist).
The spawn system in the game has been tweaked, but still retains its core. When you die you get shown the kill feed then a full map. The map shows all the vision your team has in real time, and give you the option to auto-spawn or spawn on specialist tactical insertions (if they are equipped and deployed).
While it has its quirks (some slight hitching here and there and the slow loading textures) it ran well for the most part; only dropping frame rate once on a PS4 pro.
This Call of Duty definitely has some potential, if it can dish out a decent amount of content. If there aren't many more guns and maps than what's available, then this could end up being a disappointment in the multiplayer mode, but we still have the "Blackout" mode to test out this September.
(Plus there's Zombies (I really like the zombies mode))

ATLANTA — Soul singer Gladys Knight will perform at the 2019 Super Bowl at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday, Feb 3, but everyone isn't happy about her decision.
There's been a plethora of controversy about the games performers and Knight is no different.
RELATED: Who is playing the Super Bowl 2019 halftime show?
Some people on social media said Knight's decision to sing the national anthem is a disappointment. One twitter user said, " @MsGladysKnight This hurts my soul. Jesus you lived through King, Malcolm, the Panthers! The Freedom Riders! There's a reson why the young artists turned the NFL down! No longer a fan. I stand with KAEPERNICK. #TakeAKnee #KneelAgainstPoliceBrutality."
Knight responded to the controversy surrounding her decision in a statement given to Variety Magazine, "I understand that Mr. Kaepernick is protesting two things, and they are police violence and injustice," she wrote. "It is unfortunate that our National Anthem has been dragged into this debate when the distinctive senses of the National Anthem and fighting for justice should each stand alone."
The Atlanta native told Variety she is here to give the Anthem back its voice.
"...to stand for that historic choice of words, the way it unites us when we hear it and to free it from the same prejudices and struggles I have fought long and hard for all my life, from walking back hallways, from marching with our social leaders, from using my voice for good.." Knight went on to say she has been at the forefront of the [civil rights] battle longer than most of those voicing their opinions.
And in a 2015 interview with Chicago Defender, Knight talked about growing up in the Civil Rights Movement and said the approach today is different.
She added, "You can't demand respect if you're not respectable."
Maroon 5, rapper Travis Scott and Atlanta native Big Boi are set to perform during Super Bowl's halftime show. Huge names like Rihanna, Jay Z and many others said they denied the Super Bowl committee's request to perform during halftime to show their support for Colin Kaepernick.

Q: Best way to sort a nested array (returned value vs sort & math.max) I've been wondering... Is it possible to access a returned value from a function/code block that is nested inside another code block?
For example, I am trying to sort values in an array from largest to smallest using the .sort() method, and then take the largest from each nested array and push it to a new array:
function largestOfFour(arr) {
  for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
    console.log(arr[i]);
    arr[i].sort(function(a,b) {
      return b - a; // trying to access this new, organized array
    });
    var newArr = [];
    newArr.push(arr[i][0]);
  }
}

largestOfFour([[4, 5, 1, 3], [13, 27, 18, 26], [32, 35, 37, 39], [1000, 1001, 857, 1]]);

A: You don't even need to sort the array. You could use Math.max.
function largestOfFour(arr) {
  return arr.map(function (el) {
    return Math.max.apply(null, el);
  });
} // [ 5, 27, 39, 1001 ]

DEMO

A: Like this?
function largestOfFour(arr) {
  var results = [];
  for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
    console.log(arr[i]);
    arr[i].sort(function(a,b) {
      return b - a; // trying to access this new, organized array
    });
    results.push(arr[i][0]);
  }
  return results;
}

var results = largestOfFour([[4, 5, 1, 3], [13, 27, 18, 26], [32, 35, 37, 39], [1000, 1001, 857, 1]]);

A:
Is it possible to access a returned value from a function/code block that is nested inside another code block?

You can only get the return value if you call the function. You are not calling the .sort callback, it is called inside .sort, so you cannot get its return value.

I assume you are asking because the code you have doesn't work as you expect. Looking at your code, it appears obvious that, while you sort the array, you are not really doing anything with it after you sorted it. As I already said in my comments, the way you use .sort and access the largest value is perfectly fine.
I think you want to declare newArr outside the loop and return it from the function:

function largestOfFour(arr) {
  var newArr = [];
  for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
    arr[i].sort(function(a, b) {
      return b - a;
    });
    newArr.push(arr[i][0]);
  }
  return newArr;
}

console.log(largestOfFour([
  [4, 5, 1, 3],
  [13, 27, 18, 26],
  [32, 35, 37, 39],
  [1000, 1001, 857, 1]
]));

There is also a more streamlined way of writing this, that doesn't mutate the input array:
function largestOfFour(arr) {
  return arr.map(function(innerArray) {
    return innerArray.reduce(function(a, b) {
      return a > b ? a : b;
    });
  });
}

A:
trying to sort values in an array from largest to smallest using the
  .sort() method, and then take the largest from each nested array and
  push it to a new array:

Try using while loop , .push() .sort() , .reverse() . largestOfFour returns two arrays , whose indexx can be toggled at return statement ; largest number from each array at first array , arrays in array sorted from largest to least at second array
function largestOfFour(arr) {
  var res = [], i = arr.length - 1;
  while(i > -1) {
    res.push(Math.max.apply(Math, arr[i].sort(function(a, b) {
      return Number(b) - Number(a)})
      ));
  --i;
  };
  return [res, arr.reverse()]
}

var input = [
    [4, 5, 1, 3],
    [13, 27, 18, 26],
    [32, 35, 37, 39],
    [1000, 1001, 857, 1]
  ];

function largestOfFour(arr) {
  var res = [], i = arr.length - 1;
  while(i > -1) {
    res.push(Math.max.apply(Math, arr[i].sort(function(a, b) {
      return Number(b) - Number(a)})
      ));
  --i;
  };
  return [res, arr.reverse()]
}

document.getElementsByTagName("pre")[0]
.textContent = JSON.stringify(largestOfFour(input), null, 2);

Home/Sports/6 Premiership Golden Boot front runners with Kyogo and Tony Watt leading "race to 18"
6 Premiership Golden Boot front runners with Kyogo and Tony Watt leading "race to 18"
raymondwilliamDecember 6, 2021
The Golden Boot Race is always an interesting side show, although the SPFL doesn't have the physical boots to award the winner.
And unlike in recent years Alfredo Morelos Or Odsonne Edouard will already be out of competition. This season's top scorer races are almost as engrossing as the fight for the title itself.
In four of the last seven seasons, I was able to steal the cloak with 18 goals. Since there is no clear front runner, it seems that the story will be similar this time.
Tony Watt In a tally of nine, he was leading the charts in December and he is not short on the company.
Close to behind 8 o'clock Kyogo Furuhashi Christian Ramirez of Celtic and Aberdeen.
Next, Hart and Hibernian with Liam Boyce Martin Boyle 7 o'clock.
In Rangers, there are 6 Kemar Roofe, 5 Alfredo Morelos and 5 Fashion Sakala. We use Colombians for these purposes because he is the most regular starter.
It's not an accurate science, and of course injuries can happen to anyone, and even the most prolific seasons can be cruelly shortened.
Soccer data, however, came somehow using InStat Scout You can guess who is likely to finish as the league's top scorer.
Of course, whether it is educated or not may depend on who you support.
Golden boot race
Tony Watt (Motherwell, 9)
Striker Tony Watt scored a 1-1 draw at Motherwell's Hibernian, but boss Graham Alexander wants him to do it more often.
(Image: SNS group)
The top-level resurgence of Watt, the current highest scorer in the Premiership, is one of the stories of the season.
His prolific appearance knocks on the Scottish recall door, which was thought impossible even a year ago.
Graham Alexander's management suggests he's right there at the end of the season, as he's once again one of the league's most feared strikers, scoring nine goals in 17 games. doing.
His 7 xG is there on average, which indicates he doesn't happen to be at the top of the mountain.
Looking at the numbers, we can expect a slight decline between now and May. His conversion rate was 22%, the second lowest and most time played in the survey.
He also plays for teams that haven't achieved their goals exactly compared to the people around him. But assuming he's the main character of Motherwell and he's staying healthy, he's likely to be there or so.
Kyogo Furuhashi (Celtic, 8)
Watt may be leading the chart, but enough for Kyogo to jump over him and bring the proverbial golden boots home, a solid favorite of most bookmakers. There is a reason.
He has been a show star since joining Celtic in the summer and has been the focus of the thrilling and aggressive football that Parkhead fans bubbling in their mouths.
He has achieved an average goal every 116 minutes he has played in the league, converting 31% of his chances.
More specifically, his goal tabulation is exactly in line with his xG so far-he's persistently prolific in front of his goal.
The arrival of a new striker or the appearance of Jorgos Musk Makis could be seen cooling his score, as he was not so threatening on the strange occasion that he was greatly moved.
But if you're playing for a goal on the Celtic team, you'll still be surprised if he doesn't clear 20 by the end of the season.
Christian Ramirez (Aberdeen, 8)
Don Juan, you've had a lot of moans, but things may eventually start looking up-and your number nine takes a lot of credit.
Ramirez jumped to No. 2 on the scoring chart with a double with St Mirren, which also sent Don to the top half.
If you want to struggle to overtake Dundee United and Motherwell, they have to run together and the Americans are quality strikers.
With the fewest chances (0.88) and shots (1.38) per game, Ramirez has achieved the goals of a team that hasn't worked well yet.
He has the second best chance conversion rate at 43% of the strikers surveyed.
The real focus is that he's been sending out scraps for now, but if he could feed more often like that St Mirren match, more goals would follow.
Martin Boyle (Hibernian, 7)
Hibernian Martin Boyle celebrates scoring a third goal to accomplish a hat-trick
(Image: Action image via Reuters)
So far, it's been a stop-start season for Hibernian, but the Premier Sports Cup finalists have at least one person they can trust to provide consistently.
Boyle was already at a high level after scoring 11 league goals from a wide position last season, which was surprising in the first half of the campaign, but he raised it again this quarter.
Six goals in his first seven games established him as one of the best finishers in the category. Not surprisingly, the drop in foam from Boyle coincided with the Hibernian season not getting off the ground.
He won the net only once in the last seven times as Jack Ross's team lost everything except one of those games.
However, Boyle's chance conversion rate is very high at 40%, suggesting that it won't take long to get Boyle up and running again.
And if he does, he will catch up with the top of the scoring chart.
Liam Boyce (Heart, 7)
Voice's ability is highly valued.
The Northern Irish have been in the limelight after winning the Livingston and are important players for Jumbo.
But given that the third-placed team defeated 30-year-old Dundee United five times without him, it's not overly dependent on 30-year-olds.
His tally is bloated with three penalties, but he achieves higher conversions than xG suggests.
That's not great news for Jumbo, as it suggests that he may retreat as the season progresses.
He needs the help of Barry McKay's other attackers while fans are shouting that Josh Ginelli will start more often.
He is an excellent Premiership striker and, of course, surpassed Ross County's 2016-17 scoring chart, but can struggle to reach that tally of 23 again.
But Hart doesn't have to worry. Their success is based on the defense of the three impervious players and the performance of the keeper Craig Gordon of the Player of the Year.
Alfredo Morelos (Rangers, 5)
He is second to none at the forefront of scoring, but Morelos is familiar with Rangers fans as the protagonist and plays the most time of all Ibrox strikers. doing.
Fans hope that the arrival of Giovanni van Bronckhorst will be able to rediscover his old appearance.
Frankly, the current edition is well below standard.
Significantly lower performance compared to his xG, he has only thrown away 18% of his chances and only one-fifth of his shots are targeted.
To make matters worse, he takes far more shots than any other major frontman.
There's a feeling that it won't get much worse, but there are three goals in four games in every tournament under the new boss, which is a big positive sign.
As with the depth I saw at Roofe, this summer I will share goals in rotation and adopt Sakara.

Admiral Sir Joseph Sydney Yorke KCB (6 June 1768 – 5 May 1831) was an officer of the Royal Navy. As a junior officer he saw action at the Battle of the Saintes in April 1782 during the American Revolutionary War. He commanded  at the defeat of the Dutch fleet in August 1795 during the French Revolutionary Wars and went on to be First Naval Lord during the closing stages of the Napoleonic Wars.

Family and early life
Yorke was born in Great Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire, on 6 June 1768, the second son, by his second marriage, of the politician Charles Yorke. He joined the navy at the age of 11, becoming a midshipman aboard , then under the command of Sir Charles Douglas, on 15 February 1780. He followed Douglas to his next command, , which flew the flag of Admiral George Rodney. Yorke was then present at Rodney's victory over François Joseph Paul de Grasse at the Battle of the Saintes from 9 to 12 April 1782. The end of the American Revolutionary War led to the Formidable returning to Britain to be paid off. Yorke remained in employment however, transferring with Douglas to , and then moving to , under the command of Sir Erasmus Gower, filling the post of master's mate. Yorke spent three years in total serving on the Newfoundland Station.

Promotions
Yorke was promoted to lieutenant on 16 June 1789, and moved aboard the 50-gun  to serve under Admiral Sir Richard Hughes. He later served as lieutenant aboard  and  and in February 1791 he was appointed master and commander of the sloop . He remained aboard her, carrying out cruises into the English Channel until the outbreak of war with France in 1793. He was promoted to Post-Captain on 4 February 1793 and given command of the frigate , then part of a squadron under Admiral Richard Howe. He patrolled off the French port of Brest, and captured the corvette L'Espiegle.

Yorke moved to  in July 1794, and continued to serve in the Channel, occasionally ranging into the North Sea. On 22 August 1795 the Stag and a small British squadron chased two large ships and a cutter, eventually bringing the sternmost one to battle. An hour-long fight ensued, after which the enemy, subsequently found to be the Batavian frigate Alliance, was forced to surrender. Yorke moved to command the newly built  in March 1800, and by 1801 was in command of the 74-gun third rate . He commanded her until the Treaty of Amiens in 1802 brought a period of temporary peace. On the resumption of the war in 1803 Yorke was appointed to the 98-gun , followed by  and then , an 80-gun former Danish ship captured at the Battle of Copenhagen in 1807.

Knighthood and flag rank
Yorke was knighted during this period of service, on 21 April 1805, by King George III. On 23 April, Yorke was present at the installation of the Knights of the Garter, standing in for his brother, Philip Yorke, Earl of Hardwicke. Philip was at this time Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and so was unable to be present in person. In 1810 Joseph Yorke's brother, Charles Philip Yorke became First Lord of the Admiralty and Joseph was transferred from command of the Christian VII to take up a seat on the Board of Admiralty.

Joseph Yorke was promoted to Rear-Admiral of the Blue on 31 July 1810 and hoisted his flag in the 74-gun  in January 1811. He sailed to the Tagus carrying reinforcements for Arthur Wellesley's army, fighting in the Peninsular War. After carrying this out he escorted a fleet returning to Britain from the East Indies. Yorke was promoted to Rear-Admiral of the White on 12 August 1812, Rear-Admiral of the Red on 4 December 1813 and Vice-Admiral of the Blue on 14 June 1814. He served as First Naval Lord in the Liverpool ministry from October 1813 until May 1816 but remained on the Admiralty Board until April 1818. He was appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath (KCB) in the restructuring of that order in January 1815, promoted Vice-Admiral of the White on 12 August 1819, and promoted to Admiral of the Blue on 22 July 1830.

Parliamentary career
Yorke stood as a candidate for the constituency of Reigate in 1790, and was returned as its member. He represented the borough until 1806, when he was elected as member for St Germans. He stood aside, "taking the Chiltern Hundreds" in 1810 so that his brother, Charles Philip Yorke, could be elected. In the 1812 general election Joseph Yorke stood as a candidate for Sandwich and was returned as its member. He represented the borough until 1818 when he was re-elected to the Reigate constituency, which he represented until his death. Yorke's business interests include the chairmanship of the Waterloo Bridge Company.

Family and personal life
On 29 March 1798, Yorke married Elizabeth Weake Rattray, the daughter of James Rattray, in Ireland. The couple had a number of children before Elizabeth's death on 20 January 1812. His eldest son, Charles Yorke also served in the navy, rising to the rank of admiral, and on the death without heir of Joseph Yorke's brother Philip, the 3rd Earl of Hardwicke in 1834, Charles became the 4th Earl. His daughter Agneta Elizabeth Yorke married the banker Robert Cooper Lee Bevan.

On 22 May 1813, Joseph married a second time, to Urania Anne, the Dowager Marchioness of Clanricarde, and daughter of George Paulet, 12th Marquess of Winchester, at St. Martin in the Fields, Westminster, London. The marriage did not produce any children.

Death
On 5 May 1831 Yorke was returning from visiting Henry Hotham's flagship, , then moored at Spithead. He was making his way back to shore aboard the yacht Catherine, in company with Captains Matthew Barton Bradby and Thomas Young, and a seaman named John Chandler, when the boat was struck by lightning in Stokes Bay, causing it to capsize. All aboard were drowned. The bodies were later recovered and an inquest returned a verdict of accidental death. Yorke was buried at the family tomb in the parish church at Wimpole, close to Wimpole Hall, the seat of the Earls of Hardwicke.

After surveying 500 teachers within the United States, PBS highlights the rising role of technology in today's educational experience. The image below lists the top reasons teachers use technology in the classroom.
The Classroom of 2019: will technology become even more prevalent?
Check out this article from the Huffington Post! The president of Bethany College, Dr. Scott D. Miller, talks about the trends he sees taking over in higher education by giving us a look at what we can expect the classroom of 2019 to look like. He suspects that technology will become even more integral to higher education, what do you think?
Smart Technologies created this video: A quick look at how advancements in technology have impacted teaching and learning over time. Check it out!
Many college students have grown tired of the routine class atmosphere, with the professor standing at the front of the class lecturing to a room full of students. With this teaching style, students not only grow tired, but they become distracted. A majority of students will bring laptops, iPads and cell phones to class, and because their professors teach in the same manner, these students can lose interest quickly. Studies have found that if a professor takes advantage of modern technology and incorporates it into their teachings, students will become more engaged in the material and will ultimately perform better.
Taken from Washington and Lee University.
Technology not only enhances a student's learning experience, but it makes learning and sharing material much easier for students across a university. By using an array of technology in classrooms, professors will have more engaged students who are excited to learn. Technology also enables students to learn through materials shared by their peers, making them more prepared when class time comes and making help more accessible when class is over.

Note: Target the assembly to .NET 3.5 as SQL Server doesn't support .NET 4.0
Copy the assembly to a location, and "creating" the assembly works fine:
CREATE ASSEMBLY CLRFunctions FROM 'c:\Program Files\My App\CLRFunctions.dll';

Note: And then enable CLR functions, otherwise they are broken by default:
sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE;
GO
sp_configure 'clr enabled', 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE;
GO

Created the user-defined function fails:
CREATE FUNCTION NormalizeString(@s nvarchar(max), @normalizationForm varchar(50))
RETURNS nvarchar(max)
AS EXTERNAL NAME CLRFunctions.T.NormalizeString

fails with error:
Msg 6505, Level 16, State 2, Procedure NormalizeString, Line 1
Could not find Type 'T' in assembly 'CLRFunctions'.

Why can SQL Server not find type T in assembly CLRFunctions?

Note: Why T? Cause Microsoft did.

A: I just busted my skull on this in Visual Studio 2017, building a CLR in VB.
What I found out, when creating the procedure in SQL, THE EXTERNAL NAME is set as follows:

*

*AssemblyName.[Assemblyname.ClassNameInVBProgram].SubroutineNameInVBProgram
And it is Case Sensitive.
Use Create Assembly in SQL to create the Sql Assembly
Use Create Procedure in SQL to create the CLR SP.

A: Try
CREATE FUNCTION NormalizeString(@s nvarchar(max),
                                @normalizationForm nvarchar(50))
RETURNS nvarchar(max)
AS EXTERNAL NAME CLRFunctions.[CLRFunctions.T].NormalizeString

DJ Premier "So Wassup?" ("1, 2 Pass It" Episode, Video)
DJ Premier is back yet again with the latest installment in his video series, So Wassup? - a salute to the floppy disc! In Episode 15, Premo takes it back to 1995 with the D&D Allstar's "1, 2 Pass It." Lord Finesse was working out of D&D Studios on a remix and brought in DJ Premier -- after that, Premier was there from 1992 until the studio closed. As D&D grew, Arista Records gave them a deal to do a compilation and it inspired the posse cut that began with a 40s & Blunts party, where MCs came through and blessed the mic for the posse cut, "1, 2 Pass It." DJ Premier naturally produced the beat and MCs Mad Lion, Doug E. Fresh, KRS-One, Fat Joe, Smif-N-Wessun, and lastly, Jeru The Damaja, jumped on the record. DJ Premier also shares that Jay-Z was outside but was not allowed in because it was too crowded, or else he woulda been on the record, too. Jay still came back and did Reasonable Doubt and In My Lifetime Vol.1-3 there, so no hard feelings. Salute to the legacy of D&D, now Premo operates at Headqcourterz. The original building was turned into condos and office buildings, go figure. While the D&D album was lackluster, this jam went hard! Anyhow... Premier throws the disc in the Akai S950, and let's the record play at the end. Check it out below...

The announcements left me with questions, but I'm still excited to learn more about both!
Microsoft unveiled more about xCloud last week (after first announcing in October 2018); and, this week at the Game Developers Conference, Google officially announced Stadia.
We're interested in game streaming because it's essentially a highly specialized application of VDI. In January, Jack looked at the current state of cloud gaming and the different companies coming to market.
So, what do we know about Stadia and xCloud right now?
In late 2018, Google conducted tests of Project Stream and then went radio silent. Some thought maybe Google had quietly killed the project. But lo, it has returned.
So what kind of performance can users expect out of Stadia? The Project Stream tests locked performance at 1080p, 30fps, and stereo audio, but at launch Stadia will support 4K, 60fps, HDR, and surround sound. Eventually, Stadia will be capable of 8K and 120fps.
In addition to general game streaming, Google talked about a few features. Stream Connect will resurrect couch co-op (largely absent in current consoles), Crowd Play will allow users to queue up in a lobby system to play with their favorite YouTube streamer (just made me think of placing quarters on arcade machines to indicate who had next), and cross-play with all participating platforms. One other feature I found interesting is State Share, which allows players to share playable moments that others can then experience.
Google also showed off the Stadia Controller that will connect via Wi-Fi in the backend to the datacenter streaming the game and not the local device (using the controller makes it easier to jump between devices). This could reduce latency since it doesn't have to connect to TV, tablet, etc. to relay user input. The controller is optional if playing on PC, but required when playing on TV, which requires Chromecast. Lastly, there's a button for Google Assistant on the controller, because of course there is.
Another interesting aspect is that Stadia will have its own first-party game development studio, Stadia Games and Entertainment, headed by industry veteran Jade Raymond. Stadia will need some exclusive titles to draw in folk who might otherwise just stick with their console/PC. It also possibly shows Google's belief in game streaming.
Stadia launches this year (no specific date yet) and Google said more details would be forthcoming in the summer (maybe at E3?).
Likely in an attempt to pre-empt coverage, Microsoft demoed xCloud a week before Google's keynote, showing it running on a smartphone connected to an Xbox controller. Unfortunately, details remain a little sparse for xCloud.
Microsoft says to think of xCloud as more of an extension of the Xbox, rather than as a replacement. It offers people more options—maybe there's an Xbox-exclusive title you've always wanted to play but don't have the console or a gaming PC. Microsoft is clearly interested in gaming on the go (some markets, like Japan where Xbox perennially underperforms, prefer mobile gaming to consoles). Microsoft has been a little cagey about target resolution, but with a focus on mobile, 1080p seems like the goal.
Microsoft offers game developers a "Microsoft Game Stack" that looks to rope them into using Azure and other cloud services. xCloud runs in Azure datacenters, starting out as literal racks of Xbox One S consoles before moving on to a more datacenter-optimized version of the console.
xCloud remains a work in progress, with public trials beginning later this year.
The demos for both left us with some questions. The big question neither really answered during their respective presentations was what internet speeds will be required to enjoy Stadia or xCloud. Thankfully, Microsoft and Google did reveal a little afterward.
Kareem Choudhry, corporate VP of gaming cloud at Microsoft, spoke about how they want xCloud to run on low speeds, roughly around 10mbps or less. Meanwhile, Stadia will require more: There is a "worst case scenario" mode that simulates a 15mbps DSL connection for developers. Expect to need a consistent 25mbps internet connection to get 1080p and 60fps, with 30mbps needed to get 4K. Google explained that while Stadia uses less than 25mbps, that's what they're recommending for users.
Not the most taxing of requirements for either, but not everyone has access to 25mbps worldwide, let alone in the U.S.; infrastructure continues to lag behind demand. So, xCloud potentially has a leg up here.
What we still don't enough about yet is what latency will be like for users. Reading through comment sections in the various articles leads me to believe that some believe Project Stream was good enough while others feel it was a laggy mess (and that's not going into fuzzy resolution and screen tearing issues).
Eurogamer did some latency tests, but every user's acceptance of input lag and general latency will be different. Some will be able to adjust to a little lag depending on what they're playing, but if latency fluctuates throughout each session, it could render the experience frustrating.
A big question a lot of people will have is how much data will each consume? It's nice to stream in 4K, but data caps are common and 4K is a hungry beast. Lastly, how will the services be priced? Will they be subscription services a la Xbox Game Pass, or more like Steam where you buy each game individually?
As we say goodbye to Google+, I do wonder how long Google will support game streaming if it struggles to gain much prominence early on. They do have a history of abandoning ideas. Still, my questions don't diminish my excitement over the potential here.
Get ready for a lot of demos that are like remoting demos from 90s and 2000s. We already saw one for Stadia with a Google employee hopping between several different devices using the Stadia Controller (with maybe some terrible input lag witnessed, too). As Jack mentioned a couple months ago, a whole new industry is going to be getting conversive in VDI concepts.
We'll hear all of the same arguments again: the benefits of delivering apps to different platforms, the security of remoting, and power available to games that run in the data center, patching handled by the company and not users, as well as the downside of needing a good connection, and on and on.
It's easy to imagine that more than a few people in our industry, especially those focused on graphics, will find the opportunity to leap over to the much larger vertical. Video games are a multi-billion-dollar industry and many big names are already involved, like NVIDIA which has their own game streaming offering in beta. This could be the biggest application for VDI/DaaS ever!

AlphaGrip Review (iGrip)
Updated Date August 4th, 2022
Ergonomic Keyboards Reviews Trackballs
Some input devices are so unconventional that they create and fill an entirely new class all their own. The AlphaGrip, also called the iGrip or just the Grip, is such a device. It combines the body of a game controller with the functions of both a trackball and a keyboard. Is it ergonomic? The manufacturer itself specifically disclaims any such idea in its literature, but still seems to suggest that there could be ergonomic benefits. Read on for my impressions.
It should be noted, first of all, that I did not try the AlphaGrip for the recommended period of time. According to AlphaGrip inventor Mike Willner (who was nice enough to personally answer my inquiry and send me a review sample) it takes about 30-60 hours of use before most people can become productive on an AlphaGrip. In terms of time consumption, that's pretty much like learning to type all over again. This didn't bother me; however, a mild thumb injury I've been nursing did. After an hour or two on the Grip, it started acting up and forced me to go back to my regular keyboard. Which is a pity, because I would really have liked to see how fast I could get on this fascinatingly weird device!
My review sample AlphaGrip in its plastic stand
The Grip is almost a solid mass of buttons. It has to be, in order to fit the essential functions of a standard keyboard – plus a trackball – on a video game controller body. Unlike a video game controller, most of the buttons that count are on the back, to be operated by your fingers rather than your thumbs. To be exact, there are four small one-position keys, and eight large two-position "rocker" keys. The eighteen actions of these keys correspond to eighteen of the most common letters of the alphabet. The remaining common letters – C, K, L, and Y – are grouped under your left thumb – a nice touch, as these form common blends in English. The last four letters – J, V, X, and Z – are pushed away toward the top of the unit, two on each side, where your thumbs can hit them with a slight reach. Space, Enter, Backspace and Tab are nestled under the right thumb.
Most keyboards have two Shift keys – one on each side. The AlphaGrip has six. Again, this is due to the unit's small size and large keys. Each key on the back does at least three different things, and some of the rocker keys do as many as eight, depending on which shift mode is engaged and which way you press the key.
Standard Shift, which is lettered in white and positioned on the outside top edges of the unit, does exactly what it does on a normal keyboard – it capitalizes letters and alters certain punctuation marks. In addition to this, there's Red Shift, which engages mostly numeric keypad-related functions, and Green Shift, which is used for punctuation beyond commas and periods. (With up to 7 percent of men in America being red/green blind, I can see a potential accessibility issue here, so I was glad to hear that future versions of the device will be changing Green to Blue.)
The function keys – F1-F12 – are not marked anywhere on the AlphaGrip, but can be activated by pressing Fn Lock. F1-F10 correspond to the red numbers on the back, and the remaining two function keys are assigned to R and H.
If all this sounds confusing, rest assured that it is – at first. The Grip takes time to learn. Anybody expecting a quick fix should look elsewhere.
Learning the layout
The AlphaGrip is advertised with an "enhanced QWERTY layout." This means that the layout vaguely resembles QWERTY, but not in a way that will be much help while you're learning. On the plus side, the Grip layout makes QWERTY work a little more like an advanced system such as Dvorak, putting the most common keys back under your resting finger positions where they belong. For instance, it's possible to type the word "opposition" without moving your fingers from the home positions.
On the downside, clicking the alternate state of the rocker keys is a bit tricky at first. Depending on your hand size and preference, you can either pull your finger back to hit the key with your finger joint, or (recommended) just move your whole finger.
Once learned, I can easily see how this layout would be pretty easy to type on, though most users max out around 60 WPM (the inventor himself peaks at 80). The real question, to me, is whether adjusting to the Grip layout would have the same effect as switching to Dvorak does – making it difficult or impossible to type effectively on anything else. Again, I wasn't able to keep using it long enough to find out.
What it's good for
The advertised benefits of the AlphaGrip are things you probably don't even know you need – like the ability to work while walking on the treadmill. This may sound odd, but I can see where some would benefit. No more using an urgent report or email as an excuse not to exercise! They have a demo video of someone actually typing and treadmilling at the same time, if you're curious. Very cool.
Another advertised benefit is the suitability of the Grip for typing while lying in bed, lounging on the floor, or reclining in an easy chair. These ideas sound very comfortable and appealing, but I can see some practical issues. For instance, any of these positions would put your screen considerably further away than it is normally, forcing you to set your resolution lower in order to make your text bigger and avoid eyestrain. In the recliner demo, the user is shown operating with a large TV as her monitor.
The real sticking point for me on all of these ideas is the lack of a wireless version. According to Mike, such an upgrade is planned for the future, once the Grip gains enough market traction to justify it. For now, you're stuck with a long, long USB cable – which could put a crimp in your treadmill-walking, couch-reclining style.
What it's not good for
I think it's safe to say that the AlphaGrip is not going to completely replace a computer keyboard and mouse for most people. For one thing, keys other than the standard alphabet are inconvenient to access, requiring extensive use of various shift and function buttons. More importantly, while the trackball on the Grip seems responsive and well-made, it doesn't come close to the comfort or usability level of a full-sized ball like the Kensington Orbit Scroll. It's also completely impossible to operate either the trackball or keyboard, even minimally, with just one hand.
The AlphaGrip website advertises it as "An ergonomic keyboard and trackball," but the disclaimer in the manual tells a different story: "AlphaGrip, Inc… does not claim that using the iGrip is more ergonomic than typing on a standard keyboard or using a game controller or joystick or that use of the iGrip is ergonomic at all" (emphasis in original). In my opinion, this boils down to one thing: AlphaGrip thinks their product is ergonomically beneficial, but doesn't have any scientific studies to fully back such a conclusion.
In the area of ergonomics, I don't think the AlphaGrip compares favorably to a regular ergonomic keyboard and trackball – mostly because it relies too much on the thumbs. Ironically, the Grip seems to have been designed with the idea of reducing thumb use vs. a text-messaging device such as a QWERTY cell phone. And it probably is a big improvement over pecking away on a cell phone. But then, texting with your thumbs is so bad for you that it would be tough for any alternate device not to be improvement. In any case, it's hard to imagine the average teenager propping his phone up on the dash or a pillow and plugging in an AlphaGrip to do some texting.
Also, input devices in general are considered more "ergonomic" when they use large motions of big muscle groups like the forearms. Devices that require many tiny motions with small muscles like those of the fingers are usually frowned upon.
That said, different things work for different people. I've seen setups that broke every ergonomic rule, but worked well for their owners. Come to think of it, I'm sitting in front of a setup that bends a few ergonomic "rules," but works just fine for me.
If the ability to compute comfortably while walking on the treadmill or lounging in an easy chair sounds cool to you, and you're willing to climb a 30-hour learning curve to get it, by all means go for an AlphaGrip. If ergonomics is your thing, it's probably better to try something more conventional first, such as the Kinesis Freestyle. But if you've already tried the standard options and still aren't happy, a radical change like the Grip could be just what you need.

Q: Unexpected token on spread operator in Chrome? I was testing something in my Chrome dev tools with the following code:
const one = {a: "a", b: "b"};
const two = { ...one, c: "c" };
VM417:1 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ...

Why do I get this error on the spread operator?

A: You are attempting Object rest/spread, which has not quite made it into the ES6 specification.  So, spreading into an object isn't supported yet, only spreading into an array.
Object rest/spread is currently a Stage 3 proposal.

A: Now spreading the Object is supported in ES6
const one = {a: "a", b: "b"};
const two = { ...one, c: "c" };

Q: Filter by any of subdocuments filed's value I'm using MongoDB to store some data. Documents have some mandatory fields and a set of optional. There can be any number of optional fields (this is metadata):
class DataItem {
    public int id {get; set;}
    public string Comment { get; set; }
    [BsonExtraElementsAttribute]
    BsonDocument Metadata { get; set; }
}

Metadata field names might be different for different documents, so I do not know these names.
I need to query such documents where any filed of Metadata contains a particular value.
I tried:
var query = "<some value>";
var res = collection.Find(di => di.Metadata.ContainsValue(BsonValue.Create(query))).ToListAsync();

But this code throws exception because ContainsValue() method is not supported there. When I try this:
var res = collection.Find(di => di.Metadata.Values.Contains(BsonValue.Create(query))).ToListAsync();

an empty result set is returned. I think the problem is in [BsonExtraElementsAttribute] but I cannot change it. Is there a way to do so?

Zambry bin Abdul Kadir (Jawi: ; born 22 March 1962) is a Malaysian politician who has served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Pakatan Harapan (PH) administration under Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and Senator since December 2022. He served as the 11th Menteri Besar of Perak from February 2009 to the collapse of the Barisan Nasional (BN) state administration in May 2018 and Member of the Perak State Executive Council (EXCO) in the BN state administration under former Menteri Besar Tajol Rosli Mohd Ghazali from March 2004 to another collapse of the BN state administration in March 2008 and Member of the Perak State Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Pangkor from March 2004 to November 2022. He is a member of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), a component party of the federal ruling BN coalition. He has also served as the Secretary-General of BN since June 2021.

Personal life
Zambry was born on 22 March 1963 in Pulau Pangkor, a tourist fisherman's settlement island in the state of Perak, Malaysia. He was appointed as the Chief Minister on 6 February 2009. He is the 11th Chief Minister for the state.

He is married to Saripah Zulkifli and parents to three girls and two boys—Husna, Huda, Syifa, Munir and the youngest Mukhlis.

Education
Zambry obtained his early education in Pangkor Island and secondary schools in Sitiawan (SMK Sitiawan) before continuing his upper secondary education at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Panglima Bukit Gantang, Parit Buntar, Perak, a high school located in the mainland.

He holds a PhD in Political Thoughts with distinction from the Temple University Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States (1995), after completing his master's degree in Political Philosophy and Comparative Religion from the same university in 1993.

The Perak 11th Chief Minister also holds another master's degree in Islamic Thoughts from the International Islamic University Malaysia in 1991, after completing his first degree, B.Econ (Hon) in Economics from the same institution. Zambry recently attended a two-week Executive Leadership Development Programme entitled "Leaders in Development – Managing Change in a Dynamic World", at Harvard University, USA (June 2015).

Political career
Zambry became actively involved in politics in 1995, soon after his return from the United States.

He started his political journey in UMNO as the Pangkor UMNO Branch Chief before being elected as Lumut UMNO Youth Division Chief. He later won a seat as the executive council member at the National UMNO Youth before being appointed as the State UMNO Youth Chief.

In the 2004 General Election, he stood and won the Perak State Legislative Assembly seat for Pangkor and returned as incumbent in 2008 and 2013 General Election. He is holding the seat as a Pangkor State Assemblyman for the third term and second term as the Chief Minister of Perak.

Zambry is the head of Perak UMNO and Lumut UMNO division chief. He also had his share of political bitterness when he was detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA) in 1998.

Perak Constitutional Crisis
A member of the Perak state legislative assembly, Zambry a key player in the 2009 Perak constitutional crisis as the intended BN Menteri Besar. After three state assemblypersons from the Pakatan Rakyat coalition announced their intention to support a BN candidate for Menteri Besar, and to lend their support to a vote of no confidence in the incumbent Pakatan Rakyat Menteri Besar Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin, Sultan Azlan Shah of Perak requested Nizar's resignation and swore in Zambry as the new Menteri Besar on 6 February 2009. Zambry acted as Menteri Besar for about three months. However, Nizar maintained that the Sultan was not permitted by the state constitution to dismiss him as the Menteri Besar, and on 11 May 2009, the Kuala Lumpur High Court ruled that Nizar had always been the rightful Menteri Besar of Perak. To maintain administrative continuity, Nizar tentatively endorsed most of Zambry's policies, subject to later review, but reinstated the 817 village development and security committees and 318 local government councillors whom Zambry had sacked. However, the following day, the Court of Appeal granted a stay of the High Court judgment, and Zambry returned to work.

On May, 22nd, the Court of Appeal in a unanimous decision, declared Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir as the rightful menteri besar of Perak. The court held that the order made by the High Court on 11 May, in declaring Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin as the legitimate menteri besar, was wrong and set aside that decision. Justice Md Raus, in his oral judgement, also held that the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Azlan Shah, was right in appointing Zambry as the new menteri besar, under Article 16(2) of the Perak Constitution, after being satisfied that Zambry had the command of the majority of the state legislative assembly.

Writings

Zambry has written essays for local media and publications Utusan Malaysia, Berita Harian, Dewan Masyarakat, Dewan Budaya, Dakwah, Risalah, Al-Islam, Mastika, and PEMIKIR, besides books and journals.

Among the books he wrote were UMNO dan Jiwa Merdeka (CELDES KL 1998), Pemuda UMNO Menebus Maruah, Menuju Arah (May, 2000) and Islam Malaysia & Amerika. His poems were compiled in an anthology in a book entitled Suara Pelaut (The Voice of a Seaman).

He has also produced numerous academic papers in magazines and journals, Politics In Malaysia, A Changing Scenario (2000), Belia dan Cabaran Politik Pascakolonial (1999) and he is also a contributor to Encyclopedia of Malaysiana (1998).

Zambry edited publications on Education and Development for Nurin Enterprise, K.L (1980), served as the Editor for Business Administration in Islam, Hizbi (1991), editor for Memperkasa Kepimpinan Merentas Masa Depan, CELDES, KL (1991). He was also the Editorial Chief for Imbas Gemilang KBS 1998, a publication for  the Ministry of Youth and Sports.

Among his translation works are Faces of Islam (Berita Publishing, 1990), Qur'anic Sciences (Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka, 1991) and Islamic Legal Philosophy (Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka, Oktober, 2000).

Awards and recognitions
Zambry received the (GIFA 2014) in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The special award was presented to him as an exemplary leader in eradicating poverty in the state by setting up Yayasan Bina Upaya Darul Ridzuan (YBUDR). GIFA is an award in the Islamic finance services industry.

Q: type *url.URL has no field or method ParseRequestURI here's my code:
director := func(req *http.Request) {
    fmt.Println(req.URL)

    regex, _ := regexp.Compile(`^/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/(\S+)$`)
    match := regex.FindStringSubmatch(req.URL.Path)
    bucket, filename := match[1], match[2]
    method := "GET"
    expires := time.Now().Add(time.Second * 60)

    signedUrl, err := storage.SignedURL(bucket, filename, &storage.SignedURLOptions{
        GoogleAccessID: user.GoogleAccessID,
        PrivateKey: []byte(user.PrivateKey),
        Method: method,
        Expires: expires,
    })
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("Error " + err.Error())
    }
    fmt.Println(signedUrl)
    req.URL.ParseRequestURI(signedUrl)
}

I want to parse signedUrl to req.URL using ParseRequestURI method
https://golang.org/pkg/net/url/#ParseRequestURI
But when compiling, it throws an error:
req.URL.ParseRequestURI undefined (type *url.URL has no field or method ParseRequestURI)
So I tried req.URL.Parse and it works.
https://golang.org/pkg/net/url/#Parse
These two functions are close with each other in the documentation.  I can't find any significant difference(s) between them.  So I don't know why one works and the other doesn't.
How can I make ParseRequestURI work? And why one works but the other doesn't?

A: As you mentioned following function call is not working:
req.URL.ParseRequestURI(signedUrl)

because:
func ParseRequestURI(rawurl string) (*URL, error)

is defined under net/url package as a package level function (reference), thus cannot be called using a type. Though the correct way to call it as below:
url.ParseRequestURI(signedUrl) // Here 'url' is from package name i.e. 'net/url'

On the other hand, as you mentioned you are successfully able to call req.URL.Parse because Parse is defined both at package level i.e. at 'net/url' (reference) as well as at type level for type *URL (reference).
Parse at package net/url is defined as:
func Parse(rawurl string) (*URL, error)

Parse parses rawurl into a URL structure.
The rawurl may be relative (a path, without a host) or absolute
  (starting with a scheme). Trying to parse a hostname and path without
  a scheme is invalid but may not necessarily return an error, due to
  parsing ambiguities.

Parse for the type *URL is defined as:
func (u *URL) Parse(ref string) (*URL, error)

Parse parses a URL in the context of the receiver. The provided URL
  may be relative or absolute. Parse returns nil, err on parse failure,
  otherwise its return value is the same as ResolveReference.

I hope this helps you.
