The terms "War for Talents", "The Talent Wars", or any other variation, have been appearing rather frequently in the lives of recruiters and hiring managers for some time now. It is merely an expression, of course, a way to symbolize the competitive and fierce aspects of what it is like for companies to bring in the best workers. With more specialized job positions opening every day, it's no wonder why most companies are trying all kinds of strategies to win this "war".
But let's think about what the phrase itself entails. The "Talent Wars" can be seen as a kind of dispute between two or more parties over a finite resource, in this case talent. Of course there are no actual armed confrontations, but have you stopped for a second and thought that what companies are fighting over are actually human beings?
We've discussed before how recruiters are often urged to put a lot of effort into reducing the time it takes to hire a candidate and, simultaneously, increase the number of hires as much as possible. In order to cope with these demands, many recruiters use a wide range of techniques, strategies, and tools to help them do most of the heavy lifting. However, due to the high levels of stress and the great amount of work they may be subjected to, they can sometimes forget that they're not dealing with just numbers on a screen or sheets of papers with skills and qualifications to match to a job description; they're dealing with people.
Companies need to start realizing that they need talented people to stay afloat these days, and the best way to attract these professionals is by treating them with the respect they deserve and offering them what they want. Once organizations make this change, they will start to see the results almost immediately.
Talent is nothing without motivation or engagement. The first step to having a more humane recruitment process is by having candidates apply, not because they need a job in your company, but because they want it. Regardless of the specialization or type of company you are, the only way to make people want to work with you is by showing them what sets you apart from the competition. What can you offer candidates that no one else can?
Let's do a little exercise and try to see the ideal recruitment process from the eyes of your candidate. First, think of the way your company is presenting itself, not only to their clients, but to the general public. How well-known are you? What do people associate your brand with? This is important because your image is the first thing a candidate will see when they look the company up and it's one of the factors that will make them decide whether or not they want to work with you.
Now, think of your recruitment process. Is it simple and fast? When a candidate applies to a job, they don't want to go through a never-ending barrage of questions, forms, and requirements. At this point, you only need basic information about them, so try your best to keep this stage as simple as possible.
Once a candidate is past the application process, we enter into the part where it is most important to keep in mind that you're dealing with actual people! When they send in their application, your response should always be prompt and sincere. Let your applicants know right away that their information has been received and that you will notify them about the next steps of the process soon.
It is crucial that you try your best to make your emails as personalized as possible. Most people can tell when an email was sent as an automatic response written by a computer and when it was written by an actual person. Receiving cold messages without any trace of humanity makes candidates feel like they're just a number in a queue.
Nobody likes waiting in line, and if there's something even worse than that, is an invisible line. That's how many candidates feel during the selection process. They just don't know how far along they are or what is even happening.
Be open and honest about the whole hiring process with your candidates. Let them know the steps they need to follow, respect their time, don't make them wait longer than necessary for an answer, and, above all, never ever use the classic line "We'll let you know"; we all know you won't.
When a candidate doesn't make the cut, don't just ice them. Let them know that they were not selected and explain why. Another good idea is to always invite them to re-apply for future opportunities and keep them engaged.
It takes a lot of work to bring in the best workers to your company, but that doesn't mean that you should ever forget that you're dealing with actual people. This industry is called Human Resources for a reason after all.


Your foundation is your home's defense against basement damage. One of the ways you can protect your foundation is by maintaining your weeping tile. eieihome.com spoke to John MacRae of GJ MacRae Foundation Repair about how you can tell when your weeping tile is failing.
Weeping tile is placed below grade, at footing level. Its sole purpose is to carry water away from your foundation — providing drainage and preventing standing water from accumulating around the perimeter of your exterior foundation walls. Standing water is the last thing you want sitting next to exterior foundation walls.
"You will see wet spots, discoloured concrete and/or continuous water marks along your inside foundation wall (where the floor meets the wall) or water coming through your basement floor. This is different than a specific leak area," says John MacRae.
Newer homes are built with engineered, filter sock four inch PVC corrugated circular weeping tile with at least one foot of three-quarter clear gravel around it. Over time, tree roots and silt block and choke the weeping tile enabling water to get in either through your basement floor or walls. When the weeping tile fails you will notice the signs mentioned earlier.
The dimpled drainage board is installed from the top of your foundation wall at grade, down to the weeping tile and gravel bed at footing level.
Weeping tile is circular and manufactured with an engineered, filter sock placed around it. The filter sock protects the weeping tile from evasive tree roots and silt which will block the draining process over time.
"If you see water coming up through the concrete floor or continuous water markings on the foundation wall– call in a professional for an assessment right away; don't wait," says John MacRae.


In the past year, I have sold two different houses, with wildly different results. I was determined to find an agent who would and could sell the house without allowing it to linger. I looked at several websites, including the Weichert site. When I reviewed Teresa's bio, I noticed two things. First, she was selling houses in the current market, not relying on sales before the bubble burst to make herself look better in her bio. Second, she was from Wayne, so she would know how to set the price point in town.Teresa has plenty of style, but she was all business She would work the listing internally first, including with her own clients, then list it on GSMLS and work out into the general community. When we honed the concepts, she basically told me that we would sign the listing agreement, and her goal was to have the house sold in 3 days. She seemed so certain, but I remained skeptical. Within hours of the first full day of listing, she had 4 showings lined up. Two hours later, there were 4 more scheduled. All in all, 9 showings and 6 offers in 36 hours, and we had a buyer and a contract for $14,000 over the list price.There was no smoke and mirrors act with Teresa. No used car salesman tactics. It became abundantly clear that if she said it, you could take it to the bank. Selling a home can be a difficult, emotional experience. So to your other potential customers, I offer this: go to a therapist to get your hand held. Go to Teresa to get your house sold.

In this stunning bestseller praised as "our era's Handmaid's Tale," a fierce new power has emerged—and only women have it (Washington Post).
In The Power, the world is a recognizable place: there's a rich Nigerian boy who lounges around the family pool; a foster kid whose religious parents hide their true nature; an ambitious American politician; a tough London girl from a tricky family.
But then a vital new force takes root and flourishes, causing their lives to converge with devastating effect. Teenage girls now have immense physical power: they can cause agonizing pain and even death. And, with this small twist of nature, the world drastically resets. From award-winning author Naomi Alderman, The Power is speculative fiction at its most ambitious and provocative, at once taking us on a thrilling journey to an alternate reality, and exposing our own world in bold and surprising ways.
"Captivating, fierce, and unsettling...I was riveted by every page. Alderman's prose is immersive and, well, electric." —New York Times Book Review
Praise For The Power…
Praise for THE POWER:
"Electrifying! Shocking! Will knock your socks off! Then you'll think twice, about everything."—Margaret Atwood
"Magnificent. I'm agog. I'm several gogs. Smart and scary and sad but true. It's
a classic, in the way that it's hard to imagine it ever wasn't there."—Joss Whedon
"Alderman has written our era's Handmaid's Tale, and, like Margaret Atwood's classic, The Power is one of those essential feminist works that terrifies and illuminates, enrages and encourages....This book sparks with such electric satire that you should read it wearing insulated gloves."—Ron Charles, Washington Post
"Narratively complex, philosophically searching,
and gorgeously rendered."—Lisa Shea, Elle
"Fierce and unsettling...Through immersive prose and a riveting plot, Alderman explores how power corrupts everyone: those who gain it, and those resisting its loss."—Radhika Jones, New York Times Book Review
"Richly imagined, ambitious, and propulsively
written."—Sophie Gilbert, The Atlantic
"Alderman's writing is beautiful, and her intelligence seems almost limitless. She also has a pitch-dark sense of humor that she wields perfectly."—Michael Schaub, NPR
"Alderman's tilted dystopia is a smartly layered place of slippery slopes and moral ambiguities, a fitting folktale for strange times."—Leah Greenblatt, Entertainment Weekly
"I was riveted by every page. Alderman's prose
is immersive and, well, electric, and I felt a closed circuit humming between
the book and me as I read."—Amal El-Mohtar, New York Times Book Review
"An instant classic of speculative fiction... Smart, readable and joyously achieved."
—Justine Jordan, Guardian
"Bold and disturbing...it's not just a book of the moment. The Power is a major innovation in the overlapping genres of feminist dystopia/utopia, science fiction, and speculative fiction."—Elaine Showalter, New York Review of Books
"Fans
of speculative fiction (see also: Margaret Atwood and Ben Marcus) about
empowered youth will be struck by Alderman's speedy and thorough inhabitation
of a world just different enough from ours to jolt the imagination. Mothers,
lock up your boys."—Sloane Crosley, Vanity Fair
"Alderman has the daring and good sense to
eschew go-girl uplift in favor of terrifying and complex dystopia."—Boris Kachka, Vulture/ New York Magazine
"A suspenseful thrill ride filled with deep, contrasting female leads on a scaffolding of philosophical questions about how different men and women are at heart....Reminiscent of the work of Alderman's mentor Margaret Atwood, The Power is perfect for book clubs, where readers will undoubtedly debate the finer points of nature versus nurture."—Jaclyn Fulwood, Shelf Awareness
"The Power is stupendous. It's gorgeously written, endlessly exciting, fun, and frightening."
—Ayelet Waldman, author of A Really Good Day
"The Hunger Games crossed with The Handmaid's Tale."
"What starts out as a fantasy of female empowerment deepens and darkens into an interrogation of power itself, its uses and abuses and what it does to the people who have it... Alderman's breakout work."
—Claire Armitstead, Guardian
"Outstanding... Alderman imagines a world much like ours, with one difference: teenage girls suddenly have the ability to electrocute people. This is the perfect read if you've been itching for something to get you through to season two of The Handmaid's Tale."—Melissa Ragsdale, Bustle
"The Power is at once as streamlined as a 90-minute action film and as weirdly resonant as one of Atwood's own early fictions... Alderman has conducted a brilliant thought experiment in the nature of power itself...Turning the world inside out, she reveals how one of the greatest hallmarks of power is the chance to create a mythology around how that power was used."—John Freeman, Boston Globe
"This is a thriller that terrifies and leaves behind a
lingering tingle that's part discomfort and part exhilaration. Easy to read,
hard to put down, difficult to forget."—Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing
"The Power is a subtly funny, lyrical and utterly subversive vision of an impossible future. As all the best visionaries do, Alderman shines a penetrating and yet merciful light on to our present and the so many cruelties in which we may be complicit."—A.L. Kennedy
"Please, please, PLEASE read Naomi Alderman's The Power. It'll crack your brain open in all the right ways. Such an important, timely book."
—Literary Death Match
"Audaciously depict[s]...the most extreme
results of a movement that seeks rather than interrogates power: That if
feminism has become a means for domination, it has lost its way."—Bridget Read, Vogue
"Ingenious....Deserves to be read by every woman (and, for that matter, every man)."
—Francesca Steele, The Times UK
"A page-turning thriller and timely exploration of gender roles, censorship and repressive political regimes, The Power is a must-read for today's times."—Lauren Bufferd, BookPage
"Gripping and disturbing, it pushes the reader -- even the confidently feminist reader -- to question the assumptions underlying many of the mechanisms that drive relationships between women and men."
—Harper's Bazaar UK
"Alderman's storytelling is visceral and brave; you'll stay up all night reading after a thousand deals with the clock that you'll put it down after just a few more pages. Gleeful, intelligent, clever, and unflinching, The Power is the kind of book to keep a person going."—Fiona Zublin, Ozy
"A searing critique of how power is used in a world in which a long-oppressed class can suddenly fight back."—Renay Williams, Barnes & Noble Blog
"By gleefully replacing the protocols of one gender with another, Alderman has created a thrilling narrative stuffed with provocative scenarios and thought experiments. The Power is a blast."
—Suzi Feay, Financial Times UK
"When we say that The Power is profoundly disturbing and you may well want to argue with it as you read, we mean that in a good way."
—SFX, Five Stars
Back Bay Books, 9780316547604, 400pp.

Group Show at A Jain Marunouchi Gallery New York

Group show at the A Jain Marunouchi Gallery New York
I've been rather absent from blogging this month, concentrating on producing new work and preparing for two shows convering the end of May and early June. I'm pleased to say the group show at the A Jain Marunouchi Gallery New York is up and running. I didn't curate the show and through circumstances was unaware the artists mentioned in my previous entry were not involved. However, I'm glad to say I've had the honour of exhibiting with some very talented painters; Irina Avilova, Shahla Rosa and Sally Tsou and I'm thankful for the support artist Marina Reiter has provided in allowing us this flatform. The group show is one of two exhibitions running at the gallery until June 4th. The second show features Norwegian born Inga Dalsegg. I hope if you're in town you have time to see this varied selection of work.
For a number of years the A Jain Marunouchi Gallery flourished as a destination for established and emerging artists alike, helping make art more accessible to the public,promoting works through various publications and art fairs. As the1990s came to an end, the art market began to shift from SoHo to Chelsea and Midtown Manhattan. It was at this point that the gallery moved to its current location at New York's Gallery Building, For the past eleven years A. Jain Marunouchi Gallery has exhibited and represented a diverse range of artists whose works span continents, genres, and mediums.

Q: If there is an error when reloading nginx, how does nginx maintain the existing version? I'm curious as I'm doing an uninterrupted deployment with nginx and I'm asking.
I reloaded to update the loadbalancer made with nginx.
But if there is a syntax error in the nginx code, there is no existing code, but how can it continue to work?
I am curious about the nginx reload process.

A: If you have a syntax error and try to reload
sudo Nginx -s reload

Nginx will detect the error and will not change the current configuration.
If you restart the process
sudo systemctl restart nginx.service

Then your Nginx process will fail and not start until you solve the error.
The points are when the Nginx going to start the process it loads the configuration from the file to the process memory if you try to reload and the config is broken is not a problem because it has the config on memory but if you restart you'll destroy the memory information an then you'll need to read from file again because the file is broken fails.

Montreal Mayor Valerie Plante stands in her city's council chamber. Would Montreal's party structure make sense in our civic elections? Photo by Paul Chiasson /THE CANADIAN PRESS
It is too bad that columnist Randall Denley, who wrote on the topic in Wednesday's Citizen, has changed his mind and i s now supporting political parties in municipal government – all because the city can't find a credible candidate to challenge Mayor Jim Watson.
That's not a good enough reason to tear down a municipal election system that has served Ottawa residents well for more than 150 years. Party politics, whether based on civic engagement or national/provincial affiliation, is bad for municipal government. We should not countenance it.
Adam: No, we don't need political parties in civic elections Back to video
Municipal government is the system closest to the people, the one whose decisions often have a direct and immediate impact on us, and the reason it has worked so well is that it is devoid of the petty tribalism of party politics. The people we elect, as we will do in October, we choose based on our sense of their individual capabilities. It is not about the left or the right or any other ideology. We look at candidates' CVs, judge what they have done and decide whether they are the right people for the job.
And when a citizen goes to talk to a councillor on an issue of concern, he or she doesn't see a party person. And the councillor deals with the person not as a party or opposition member, but as an individual seeking help. That's why the municipal system as now practised in Ottawa and many other cities has been so successful. Introduce a party system into municipal politics, where service delivery is key, and you ruin a good thing.
The party system is the bedrock of our democratic system. It makes our representative government work. It has its faults, of course, but it works well nationally and provincially because of the many checks and balances built in. At the municipal level, it would be destructive. No matter how parties are constructed, they demand loyalty above all. Individual interests are often subservient to the party interest. Yes, there's a big pool to recruit from, but these candidates then tend to owe their loyalty to the party that helped elect them, not the wards and people they are supposed to represent.
No matter how parties are constructed, they demand loyalty above all.
Look at how our MPs vote. Even though elected to represent their constituencies, they usually do no such thing. The party is supreme, and members are expected to toe the line. The few that have the courage to step out of that line often get punished. The same would happen at the municipal level.
And it would not be any different with civic parties. The example of Montreal and Vancouver, the only two Canadian cities that allow party politics, leaves much to be desired. Members of the majority party tend not to listen, or they listen only to themselves. They become arrogant, they pack committees with their members and in the party system, what you end up with is the tyranny of the majority.
In Montreal, there's a leader of the opposition, and that spells trouble, invoking as it does a "them and us mentality." We don't need that in Ottawa. Indeed, some of the dysfunction associated with municipal governance in Montreal has been attributed to the party system. There's still a debate on whether the system is the right one for the city.
Many in Ottawa are concerned about the lack of a serious challenger to Watson. He has been mayor for eight years, but it seems like eternity because of his long involvement in local and provincial politics. And because, for the last eight years, it has looked like a one-man show. Watson's tenure is an aberration: Ottawa municipal politics is usually known for its competitive races for regional chair or mayor. Remember Bob Chiarelli against Peter Clark in 1997; Chiarelli versus Claudette Cain in 2000; Chiarelli, facing off against Alex Munter and Larry O'Brien in 2006; and Watson taking on O'Brien in 2010.
Barring a catastrophic event, Watson will be elected mayor for a third term in October – and deservedly. The lack of credible challengers, however unfortunate, is no reason to introduce destructive party politics at the city level.

Cell Medica and UCL Institute of Child Health Receive Grant Funding
Cell Medica has received notice of grant funding from the Technology Strategy Board for a Phase I/II clinical trial - ASPIRE (Adenovirus-Specific Paediatric Immune Reconstitution) in collaboration with the UCL Institute of Child Health / Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Trust.
The study is designed to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of Cytovir ADV - Cell Medica's adoptive cellular therapy for the treatment of adenovirus infections in paediatric patients following bone marrow transplant (allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant or allo-HSCT).
Adenovirus infections cause mortality in up to 30% of children in high risk patient populations following allo-HSCT and current antiviral drug therapies are of limited benefit.
Adoptive cellular therapy has already shown promising results in preventing viral disease in patients receiving a bone marrow transplant.
Cell Medica will be study sponsor and will prepare their adenovirus specific T cell therapy products (Cytovir ADV) for patients being treated.
Dr Waseem Qasim and Prof Bobby Gaspar of the UCL Institute of Child Health / Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Trust are the study investigators.
Gregg Sando, CEO of Cell Medica, commented: "We are delighted to have support from the Technology Strategy Board for this study as the first-in-man Phase I/II clinical study of Cytovir ADV. The potentially life-saving, patient-specific cell product will be manufactured using our proprietary rapid expansion system which we believe represents the state of the art for the production of cultured therapeutic T cell products. We are also very pleased to be collaborating in this project with Europe's leading centre devoted to research in children's health; Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children and UCL Institute of Child Health. The ASPIRE Trial takes us closer to regulatory approval and commercial availability of Cytovir ADV for the treatment of life-threatening infections in children undergoing bone marrow transplant."

Air Malta's Digital Transformation Journey Takes Off With MuleSoft
PRNewswire April 30, 2019, 5:10 pm April 30, 2019
Anypoint Platform Enables Air Malta to Tap Into the API Economy to Extend its Digital Presence and Improve Operational Efficiency
MuleSoft, provider of the leading platform for building application networks, announced that Air Malta, which carries two million passengers annually, is using MuleSoft's Anypoint Platform to broaden its reach in a highly competitive market and to improve operational efficiency through APIs. Anypoint Platform enables Air Malta to build an application network, so the airline can quickly connect new technologies with existing legacy systems – making it easier than ever to add new airline partners for growth and to create new opportunities to better serve customers. With MuleSoft, Air Malta is able to extend its digital presence and increase profitability by participating in the API economy, which enables business capabilities to be monetized using APIs.
Air Malta operates a modern fleet of aircraft to more than 40 destinations in Europe, North Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean. The airline also offers travel to an additional 170 destinations through code-share partnerships with other airlines. To thrive in a competitive industry and exceed customer expectations, Air Malta embarked on a digital transformation journey with MuleSoft. Air Malta engaged MuleSoft consulting partner Ricston to build an application network using Anypoint Platform, connecting third-party software-as-a-service (SaaS), e-commerce platforms, customer relationship management (CRM) and airline booking systems.
"Air Malta recently reported profitability for the first time after two decades, growing operating revenue by €5.3 million to €197.5 million in the last fiscal year," said Alan Talbot, CIO, Air Malta. "Technology investment has been a critical driver of this success, with MuleSoft at the center. With Anypoint Platform, we have created a sandbox for innovation across the organization without affecting core operations. MuleSoft provides a unified platform that enables even non-technical personnel to quickly create integrations. By democratizing access to data from legacy systems and across our enterprise, we are able to create new operational efficiencies and identify opportunities to better serve our customers."

The Airline Industry Is on a Turbulent Ride to Digitize
According to the recent Connectivity Benchmark Report, 59 percent of IT leaders say their legacy infrastructure makes it hard to introduce new technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), big data and the internet of things (IoT). Airlines are struggling to innovate, operate efficiently and offer personalized services. With valuable data trapped across siloed legacy systems, the industry is challenged to access the right information at the right time to move faster and deliver on customer demands. Its aging IT infrastructure is no longer fit to operate in the modern digital world, hampering growth and profitability.
"We couldn't afford to stand still and remain as we were. We needed to change our business and IT operating model to survive," said Talbot. "Technology has become the ultimate enabler for the business, so we can drive and create change. MuleSoft's hybrid integration platform with API capabilities allows us to connect to the latest cloud technologies and differentiate our services."
MuleSoft Provides Air Malta the Foundation for Speed and Innovation
By developing an application network of reusable APIs, Air Malta is able to distribute its commercial relations and flight operations information more effectively and securely within the organization and with partners. For example, Anypoint Platform empowered Air Malta to improve customer service through a closer integration among the airline's reservation system, e-commerce platforms and its Salesforce instance. This connectivity enables sales staff to easily roll out joint offers with other airlines, provide customers with the most relevant "just-in-time" information, and make modifications to flight arrangements faster.
One of Air Malta's significant projects was the introduction of best-of-breed flight planning solutions from Lufthansa to optimize route planning, improve flight operations management and handle reservations more quickly. Previously, it would have taken 18 months to deploy the solutions. Instead, it took one-third of the time with reusable APIs built on Anypoint Platform. Similarly, Air Malta used some of the existing APIs to integrate with Ryanair, one of the biggest airline brands in Europe. The integration allows Air Malta to sell its flights from the Ryanair website and meet customers where they are. The project took only 11 weeks, reducing the standard delivery timeline by almost two-thirds.

Air Malta's Application Network Opens Up New Opportunities in the API Economy
According to Talbot, "We want to launch a platform to help anyone who wants to do business with us. MuleSoft allows us to leverage the API economy to broaden our reach in a hugely competitive market. With an application network built on Anypoint Platform, we can securely share our data on inventory, services and products to any company that wants to work with us."
Over the next few years, Talbot aims to turn the IT department from a cost center into a profit center. The ability to leverage API monetization and add new digital channels will be crucial to Air Malta's goal to create sustainable growth. Air Malta will use MuleSoft to develop a fully integrated, omnichannel platform, using the same approach for integrating into Ryanair's website with pluggable APIs.
Air Malta is also looking to continue to add new technologies and services to widen its competitive edge. Talbot expects emerging technologies, such as AI, machine learning and blockchain to support efforts in personalizing customer experiences, with Anypoint Platform at the center to make them all work together.

Q: Why is the line number appended to a cucumber command line user variable? Here is my cucumber command
cucumber features/xxx.feature -l 409 ENVIRONMENT=LOCAL BROWSER=true

When I do puts ENV['ENVIRONMENT'], the value is LOCAL:409. It is the same with ENV['BROWSER'].
Because of this, my scripts are failing as this append is not expected.

A: The problem is in the parsing of the CLI arguments. This appears to have been like this since the original implementation of the lines option. You can see the following in the Cucumber::Cli::Options on Line 142-144:
@args.map! { |a| "#{a}:#{@options[:lines]}" } if @options[:lines]

extract_environment_variables

This map! statement adds the line number to each of the remaining arguments, which includes:

*

*The specified feature file, features/xxx.feature (good)

*Each environment variable (bad)

The extract_environment_variables needs to come before the map! so that the environment variables are not included in @args when it is mapped.
Aside from waiting for the bug to be fixed in Cucumber, which I have opened in Issue 1064, your only option appears to use the FILE:LINE syntax rather than the -l option:
cucumber features/xxx.feature:409 ENVIRONMENT=LOCAL BROWSER=true

Women's Clasico At Camp Nou On Course To Break World Record Attendance
File photo of Camp Nou© Twitter/FC Barcelona
Barcelona announced on Friday that more than 70,000 tickets have been sold for their Women's Champions League quarter-final second leg against Real Madrid at Camp Nou next month, an attendance that would break the world record for a women's club match. It would surpass the previous record from March 2019, when 60,739 supporters watched Barca beat Atletico Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano.
"77,000 tickets sold! Let's get the stadium bouncing!" the club posted on social media.
Barcelona's 147,000 members have been allowed to claim tickets for free for the game, although there is an administration charge of 2.50 euros ($2.86).
Barca's women's team usually play at the Johan Cruyff stadium at the club's training ground.
The stature of this fixture has convinced them to use Camp Nou, which has a capacity of just over 99,000.
Camp Nou is currently limited to 70 per cent capacity due to regional restrictions around the Covid-19 pandemic but the club hope rules will be relaxed by the time the game takes place on March 30.
If that is the case, the match could exceed the 86,422 fans that watched the men's Clasico between Barca and Real Madrid at Camp Nou in October.
Barcelona's women's team played at Camp Nou for the first time as a professional outfit in January last year, when they thrashed local rivals Espanyol 5-0, although that game was played behind closed doors.
The Catalans will be strong favourites against Real Madrid. They won the treble last season and the league at a canter, finishing 25 points ahead of Madrid in second.
This season, they are unbeaten in the Primera while Madrid are languishing down in eighth.

The ribbon has been cut and we are proud to bring our collections of fine jewelry and diamonds to Fayetteville! On Sept. 29, The Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony at our new Bailey's Fine Jewelry location in Cross Creek Mall. After 63 years in business, Bailey's is finally in one of the most important and heroic cities, not only in our state, but also in our country! Fayetteville has been missing a jeweler who specializes in fine diamonds and designer jewelry and we're so excited to fill that void. We had a great turn out for the ribbon cutting and met lots of new friends. Attendees shopped for jewelry, munched on snacks and met with our Fayetteville store manager, Sam Spaulding. We would like to say thank you to the Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce for such a warm welcome into their business community. Click here to check out some of the great photos from the event.

Under-23s Preview: Newcastle United (H)
by James Moody
@jamesiron95
The Iron's Under-23s side make a return to Premier League Cup action when they host Newcastle United on Friday (7pm kick-off).
The game will be played at the Sands Venue Stadium. We will have live text coverage on our Twitter feed, which can be accessed by clicking here, while there will be a report, photo gallery and reaction afterwards.
SCENE-SETTER
With a number of postponements for the side over the last couple of weeks, including a Central League Cup fixture against Peterborough United in midweek, the Iron's Under-23s side were last in action at Doncaster Rovers in the Central League on November 19th.
Despite a dominant performance from start to finish, the team only came away with a point, with Lewis Butroid netting to cancel out an early opener when really United should have run away with a victory following a high volume of chances throughout.
Adam Kelsey (finger) made a return in goal last time out, while Andy Dales also got 90 minutes as he stepped up his return from a hamstring injury. Jacob Bedeau and John McAtee, who have also been in the first team's match day squad in recent weeks, made up the XI, while second-year scholar Charlie Barks completed the full game in defence.
First team manager Paul Hurst said in his pre-Blackpool press conference that it could be a game where a number of senior players may be involved as they make a comeback from injuries or a lack of gametime.
Jordan Hallam was nearing a return from a hamstring injury in his press conference last week, while Omar Sanyang (ankle) continues to miss out.
LAST LINE-UP (v Doncaster Reserves - 19.11.19)
IRON: Kelsey, Rowe, O'Malley, Hornshaw (D Gallimore, 83), Barks, Bedeau, Dales (Shrimpton, 70), Pugh, Potts (Jessop, 45), McAtee, Butroid.
IRON SUBS NOT USED: Chapman, Baker.
ELSEWHERE IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE CUP
Aston Villa v Portsmouth (7pm)
Blackburn Rovers v Burnley (1pm)
Fulham v Plymouth Argyle (7pm)
Sunderland v Wigan Athletic (7pm)
West Bromwich Albion v Hull City (7pm)
Admission for the encounter against the Magpies will be £3 for adults and £1 for over-65s and under-18s in the Lincs Lifts Stand only (Turnstiles 8A and 8B), while 12th Man holders for the 2019-20 season can gain entry free of charge providing they produce their season ticket card on the turnstile.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a set of symptoms thought to be caused by squashing (compression) of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a collection of symptoms - with pain as the main problem - that result from squashing of the median nerve as it runs through the carpal tunnel.
There are eight small bones called carpal bones in the wrist. A ligament (also called retinaculum) lies across the front of the wrist. Between this ligament and the carpal bones is a space called the carpal tunnel. The tendons that attach the forearm muscles to the fingers pass through the carpal tunnel. A main nerve (median nerve) to the hand also goes through this tunnel before dividing into smaller branches in the palm.
The median nerve gives feeling to the thumb, index and middle fingers, and half of the ring finger. It also controls the movement of the small muscles at the base of the thumb.
People in their late 50s, particularly women.
People in their late 70s, when men and women are equally affected.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is more common in people who are obese and it often runs in families. It is more common in women who are pregnant.
In most cases it is not clear why it occurs. An increase in pressure going through the carpal tunnel is thought to squash (compress) and restrict the blood supply to the median nerve. As a result, the function of the median nerve is affected causing the symptoms.
Your genes may play a part. There seems to be some inherited (genetic) factor. About 1 in 4 people with carpal tunnel syndrome have a close family member (father, mother, brother, sister) who also has or had the condition.
Bone or arthritic conditions of the wrist, such as rheumatoid arthritis or wrist fractures, may lead to carpal tunnel syndrome.
Various other conditions are associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. For example: pregnancy, obesity, an underactive thyroid gland, diabetes, the menopause, other rare diseases, and a side-effect of some medicines. Some of these conditions cause water retention (oedema) which may affect the wrist and cause carpal tunnel syndrome.
Rare causes include cysts, growths, and swellings coming from the tendons or blood vessels passing through the carpal tunnel.
Pins and needles. This is tingling or burning in part or all of the shaded area (see diagram above). This is typically the first symptom to develop. The index and middle fingers are usually first to be affected.
Pain in the same fingers may then develop. The pain may travel up the forearm and even to the shoulder.
Numbness of the same finger(s), or in part of the palm, may develop if the condition becomes worse.
Dryness of the skin may develop in the same fingers.
Weakness of some muscles in the fingers and/or thumb occurs in severe cases. This may cause poor grip and eventually lead to muscle wasting at the base of the thumb.
Symptoms tend to come and go at first, often after you use the hand. Typically, symptoms are worse at night and may wake you up.
The symptoms may be eased for a while by raising the hand up or hanging it down. Flicking the wrist may also give relief. Symptoms persist all the time if the condition becomes severe.
Often the symptoms are so typical that no tests are needed to confirm the diagnosis.
If the diagnosis is not clear then a test to measure the speed of the nerve impulse through the carpal tunnel (nerve conduction test) may be advised. A slow speed of impulse down the median nerve will usually confirm the diagnosis. Some people may also be referred for an ultrasound scan or a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan to look at their wrist in more detail.
In up to 1 in 4 cases the symptoms go without treatment within a year or so. Symptoms are most likely to go in people less than 30 years of age.
Try not to over-use your wrist by excessive squeezing, gripping, wringing, etc. If you are overweight, losing some weight may help. Painkillers may be prescribed to ease the pain. If the condition is part of a more general medical condition (such as arthritis) then treatment of that condition may help.
In about 2 in 3 cases that develop during pregnancy, the symptoms go after the baby is born. So, not treating is an option, particularly if symptoms are mild. The situation can be reviewed if symptoms become worse.
A removable wrist splint (brace) is often advised as a first active treatment. The aim of the splint is to keep the wrist at a neutral angle without applying any force over the carpal tunnel so as to rest the nerve. This may cure the problem if used for a few weeks. However, it is common to wear a splint just at night, which is often sufficient to ease symptoms.
An injection of steroid into, or near to, the carpal tunnel is an option. One research trial found that a single steroid injection eased symptoms in about 3 in 4 cases. In this trial the symptoms returned in some people over the following year. Other studies report variable success rates with steroid injections.
Surgery is recommended for severe cases but the jury is still out as to whether it is better than injections for moderate symptoms. A large trial is being conducted to answer this question.
A small operation can cut the ligament over the front of the wrist and ease the pressure in the carpal tunnel to give your nerve more space. This usually cures the problem. It is usually done under local anaesthetic. There are two main types of surgery - open and keyhole. Your surgeon will discuss which technique is appropriate for you.
You will not be able to use your hand for work for a few weeks after the operation. A small scar on the front of the wrist will remain. There is a small risk of complications from surgery. For example, following surgery there is a very small risk of infection and damage to the nerve or blood vessels. Sometimes, the nerve can get caught up in the scar and become stretched when the wrist is moved: this is known as tethering.
Over the years, a wide range of other treatments has been tried. For example, controlled cold therapy, ice therapy, laser therapy and exercises. None of these treatments has good research evidence to support its use and so they are not commonly advised. However, they can work for some people. There is some evidence that acupuncture may relieve symptoms in some people.
Steroid tablets may ease symptoms in some cases. However, there is a risk of serious side-effects from taking a long course of steroid tablets. Also, a local injection of a steroid (described above) probably works better. Therefore, steroid tablets are not usually advised.
A non-surgical option may be advised if your symptoms are mild - for example, if your symptoms come and go and mainly consist of tingling, pins and needles or mild discomfort. A wrist splint (brace) may work but a steroid injection is probably the most effective non-surgical treatment.
If you try a non-surgical treatment and it does not work, do return to your doctor. In particular, see your doctor if you have constant numbness in any part of your hand, or if you have any weakness of the muscles next to the thumb. These symptoms mean that the nerve is not working well and is at risk of permanent damage.
Surgery gives the best chance of long-term cure. It is quite a common operation. It is done if symptoms continue (persist) despite other treatments, or if symptoms are severe and the nerve is in danger of permanent damage.
If you have severe symptoms - in particular wasting of the muscles at the base of the thumb - then you will probably need surgery. This is to relieve pressure on (decompress) the trapped nerve quickly, which aims to prevent any permanent long-term nerve damage.
Symptoms commonly go after the baby is born. Therefore, a non-surgical treatment, such as a splint, is usually advised at first. Surgery is an option if symptoms persist.
Each treatment option for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome has various benefits, risks and consequences. In collaboration with health.org.uk, we've put together a summary decision aid that encourages patients and doctors to discuss and assess what's available.

The Argentinean film The Future Perfect / El futuro perfecto by German-Argentine newcomer Nele Wolatz took home the top prize at 30th edition of AFI FEST last week. New Auteurs, AFI FEST's juried competitive section, is designed to raise the profiles of first or second-time feature filmmakers. The Future Perfect also won Best First Feature at the Locarno International Film Festival earlier this year.
In The Future Perfect 17-year-old Xiaobin does not speak a single word of Spanish when she arrives in Argentina to reunite with her family. But within a few days, she already has a new name, Beatriz, and a job in a Chinese supermarket. Her family lives in a parallel world, in a l laundromat, far removed from the Argentineans. Xiaobin secretly saves money and enrolls at a language school to offset the anxiety of becoming further enclosed in Chinese culture through an arranged marriage, or alternately, accepting the proposal of coworker Vijay, who hopes to marry her and take her to live with him in India.
AFI FEST took place November 10-17 in Los Angeles, California.

DUNE to hit big screens in the Philippines starting November 10
After more than a year of spending at home, the Philippines will again experience the big screen starting with Warner Bros. Pictures' Dune on November 10.
Director Denis Villenueve says "The epic adventure has been made, designed and dreamed to be seen on the big screen. Directing the movie adaptation of Frank Herbert's seminal bestseller, Dune is considered one of the most influential books of the 20th century and credited with inspiring many of the greatest films of all time.
A mythic and emotionally charged hero's journey, "Dune" tells the story of Paul Atreides, a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, who must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet's exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence—a commodity capable of unlocking humanity's greatest potential—only those who can conquer their fear will survive.
When it came to casting the many roles, Villeneuve and the producers assembled an astonishing list of actors to fill the coveted roles, including Timothée Chalamet as our hero, Paul Atreides, alongside Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Zendaya, Jason Momoa, Javier Bardem, David Bautista and many more. Watch the cast invite everyone to see Dune on the big screen.
Only in cinemas starting Nov. 10, "Dune" is distributed in the Philippines by Warner Bros. Pictures, a WarnerMedia Company.

After a major update to the Facebook timeline we were given the option for including a large cover photo to represent ourselves or our page.
There are a few things to keep in mind when working with the cover photo so that you know the end result of how it will look after being uploaded and applied.
While you can get away with trying to add any photo that is at least 399 pixels wide, you will usually get best results when uploading a file of exact dimensions. Cropping or stretching of the image may occur if it isn't set to the exact dimensions.
The cover photo should be set to 851 pixels wide and 315 pixels tall for best results. Many do say to upload an image that is twice each dimension for best results and allow for resizing but my testing has varied.
Creating an image that is taller than 315 is fine (when keeping the width at 851), but the bottom will be cut off. A lot of times the bottom of the image isn't relevant so it doesn't make a difference.
A profile photo sits about 23 pixels in from the left side near the bottom, covering a portion of the cover photo. About 170 pixels across and 104 pixels towards the bottom will be covered. With the 23 pixel offset this leaves 658 pixels that are exposed on the right bottom side of the cover photo. There are 211 pixels exposed from the top of the cover photo to where the top of the profile photo starts.
About 170 pixels at the top of the cover photo is not actually shown on page load. An adjustment of the scrollbar by the user is needed before the cover photo is entirely visible.
All of the above information is relevant when considering the impact desired when showing the cover photo to your followers or audience. See the Cover Photo Size Facebook page to see an example.
It used to be that you couldn't include domain names or calls to action on cover photos. I know that domain names are currently allowed. Also, including text regarding special promotions or events is very popular and effective.
Naturally, constant changes will need to be made to the cover photo when including promotional material that is seasonal (or time sensitive). If you use software like GIMP or PhotoShop to create a "layered" image you will have the ability to easily and quickly change the text in the top image without having to create the background, etc.
There is a piece of software called Light Image Resizer that I profiled recently that lets you quickly resize an image for use as a Facebook Cover.
While it doesn't resize the height to be the preferred 315 pixels it will create the width correctly (assuming the original image is 851 pixels wide or larger).
The reason for this is so that the software maintains aspect ratio for the image, which means there is no stretching or skewing. So, while you can resize an image very fast for use as a Facebook cover photo, the height may be taller than anticipated. That's normally OK because it will just cut off the lower portion of the image after uploading to Facebook. The top should have the most visually appealing content anyway.
1. Download and install Light Image Resizer.
3. Choose "Facebook Timeline cover" from the "Profile" drop down box.
4. Click the "Process" button at the bottom right of the window.
