Part 1 – Amendments concerning child-related payments
The saved child-related payments (CRP) indexation anomaly was outlined in the Stateline titled "Saved Child Related Payments – January 2002" (Trim reference 0168545E). Departmental Instruction number C56/2002 provided the interim arrangements and guidelines on indexing saved child-related payments until the corrective legislation passes.
DoFA approved ex-gratia payments pending the passage of legislation.
On 1 July 2000 the provisions relating to CRP were repealed from the Social Security Act, 1991 (SSA) and the responsibility for such was transferred to the Family Assistance Office (FAO), making the references to the SSA in the saved VEA provisions obsolete. This meant that the rate of saved CRP was effectively frozen at the rate payable at the time of the repealed provisions. The test for continued eligibility for the saved CRP was also made redundant, as there is no directly equivalent payment types in the Family Assistance Act (FAA) that can be used as a reference.
Legislative changes
Parts of sub-clause 10 of Schedule 5 have been repealed and substituted. The new inclusions provide for the continued indexation of the saved child-related payments in line with increases in the rate of Family Tax Benefit resulting from indexation on or after 1 July 2000. The amendments also remove the provisions relating to the test for continued eligibility for saved CRP. In their place, a provision is inserted such that a person receiving saved CRP may elect to receive payments of FTB under the FAA, instead of saved CRP at DVA.
Systems Changes
The new CRP rates will be updated and tested within the system in conjunction with the normal quarterly update process for 1 July 2003.
Procedural Changes
As per the interim arrangements, all saved child-related cases are currently recorded using the "manual rates" method of assessment. Once the relevant rates are updated in PIPS PC, these arrangements will be defunct. Any manual child-related payment cases will be identified by the SI listings and will require re-assessment as automatic cases.
Part 2 – Amendments concerning the commutation of income streams
'Complying' income streams are, with limited exceptions non-commutable. These limited exceptions include that an income stream can be commuted within 6 months of its commencement, or where the proceeds of the commutation are rolled over in full to purchase another `complying' income stream. The intention behind this rule is that superannuation savings invested in these income streams are required to satisfy the commitment to pay an income for life, or the prescribed term, in order to qualify for the associated taxation and means test concessions.
The commutation provisions allow for the 'commutation' (similar to a lump sum withdrawal) of an income stream, where the resulting payment is used to purchase another income stream.
It was identified that section 52ZMA is ineffective in particular circumstances in preventing the misuse of the commutation provisions.
The scenario put forward is that a pensioner has an asset-test exempt income stream that he or she has held for a period of four years. The pensioner commutes the income stream and transfers part or all of the proceeds to another asset-test exempt income stream as is allowed under the existing commutation provisions.
The pensioner subsequently commutes the income stream within a short period of the commencement of the new income stream and the commutation is not in accordance with the current commutation rules. Under the existing provisions of section 52ZMA, the recoverable amount will only be the overpayment of pension for the short period during which the new income stream has been payable.
The amendments to 52ZMA and the new subsections provide for a determination that an assets-test exempt income stream has an earlier commencement day, for the purposes of calculating a debt amount. This will have the effect of removing the asset-test exempt status of the previous income stream, or of a succession of income streams. The assets test would then apply for any part of that period in which the person was eligible for a service pension or income support supplement.
There was no requirement for system changes regarding this initiative.
Delegates should note the amendments provide for a determination that an asset-test exempt income stream has an earlier commencement day. The earlier commencement day should then be applied when calculating overpayment of pension benefits in cases where there has been a misuse of the commutation provisions.
Part 3 – Amendments concerning accrual of pension bonus
Under the VEA, the pension bonus scheme enables a person who is eligible for an age service pension, partner service pension or income support supplement to receive a lump sum 'pension bonus' if they defer claiming pension. A similar scheme operates under the SSA in relation to age pension.
An anomaly has been identified in relation to a person who has deferred an age pension under the social security pension bonus scheme but who subsequently becomes a war widow/war widower-pensioner.
Under the current legislation, a person is only able to accrue bonus periods from the date they became eligible for a pension under the VEA. There is no provision for a war widow(er) who has been deferring age pension to have any bonus periods accrued at Centrelink included in the calculation of their DVA bonus when it is claimed.
A new Division 12 has been added at the end of Part IIIAB to ensure that in certain cases, periods of membership of the pension bonus scheme that would have accrued under social security law will contribute towards the calculation of a pension bonus payable under the VEA.
Delegations for the officers in the Income Support area have been extended to cover the new Division 12 of Part IIIAB of the VEA. This will allow delegates to determine that certain periods would, if the person had applied for the bonus at Centrelink before becoming a war widow(er), have been accrued as bonus periods under social security law.
For consideration to be given to including these periods in the calculation of the bonus, the war widow(er) must:
have registered as a member of the DVA pension bonus scheme in respect of ISS; and
have either been registered at Centrelink for the social security PBS Scheme before becoming a war widow(er) or, in the opinion of Commission, could have been so registered before becoming a war widow(er); and
not have received a social security pension or benefit (other than a carer payment) at any time since reaching age pension age; and
not have claimed pension bonus under the social law before becoming a war widow(er); and
have claimed the bonus from DVA on or after the day the Act received Royal Assent.
With the passage of these amendments it is now imperative that attention be paid to any claim for ISS by a war widow(er) who has passed age pension age and has been working since reaching pension age, but who is not claiming pension bonus.
Interim guidelines
Details of how these new provisions will apply are to be included in the relevant chapters of CLIK in the near future. The following additional information may, however, be useful in the interim:
If a person meets all the above criteria but had only accrued a part year period of membership under the social security scheme prior to becoming a war widow(er),. that period can be included in the calculation of the bonus if, when aggregated with a period accruing at DVA since the person became a war widow(er), that period would amount to one year;
If a person meets all these criteria and has accrued only a part-year period of membership under the DVA scheme, the DVA period can be included in the calculation of the bonus if, when aggregated with a period accrued under the social security scheme before the person became a war widow(er), the total period would amount to one year.
A person who has been deferring age pension, becomes a war widow(er) and claims ISS immediately may be eligible for a bonus payable by DVA, solely on the basis of the bonus periods accrued at Centrelink.
Because compensation recovery provisions apply to age pension, a war widow(er) who previously deferred age pension can be subject to a compensation preclusion period during which the person was a non-accruing member of the Centrelink pension bonus scheme. This may apply to a war widow(er) who has deferred age pension and then claims their bonus with ISS under the VEA.
Should a person who is affected by any of these amendments apply for pension bonus or ISS before the day of Royal Assent, Income Support Policy Section should be contacted to discuss whether it might be possible for an act of grace payment to be made.
Part 4 – Amendments concerning the calculation of pension bonus
The amendments contained in Part 4 are made in conjunction with the changes introduced in Part 3. It also includes correction of minor errors in the formulae to ensure that the bonus paid to the person accurately reflects the pension they were deferring and the marital status through the period they were accruing the bonus.
Where a person's marital status had not changed during the period they had deferred their age-related pension, their whole bonus was automatically calculated on the basis of the pension rate payable at the time of grant. This did not take account of the fact that it is possible for a person whose marital status had not changed, to become eligible for more than one pension during the period of deferral.
The amendments also corrected a number of the minor errors in the formulae for calculating the bonus and to cater for persons who are carrying over pension bonus accrued under social security law.
Legislative change Sec 45UG(1A) - where marital status has not changed
Section 45UG is amended to provide for a circumstance where a person's marital status does not change, but their pension eligibility does change.
For example, a widow of a veteran may not become a war widow until many years after the death of her husband. In such a case, she may have commenced deferring age pension or partner service pension but become a war widow before claiming pension.
The amendments allow the bonus to be calculated on the basis of the two pensions deferred, in accordance with the proportion of time each of those pensions was deferred.
Legislative change Sec 45UH, UI - where marital status has changed
Sections 45UH and 45UI were amended to correct a number of minor errors in the formulae and cater for the new category of persons who are carrying over pension bonus periods accrued under social security law.
For example, if a person was a war widow(er) and single at the time of grant of pension, but had changed marital status during the period of deferral, the VEA required the delegate to calculate an annual notional partnered pension rate. This required the calculation of what the person's annual pension rate would have been at the date of grant if they were married. This is clearly not possible because such a calculation would require details of the income and assets of a notional partner at that time.
Nor is it possible, as it is with a person claiming service pension, to calculate an adjusted percentage of the rate payable at the time of grant, in order to reach a notional married rate. This is because the denominator of the formula for calculating an adjusted percentage is the maximum basic rate. Where the deferred pension is ISS, the denominator would be the ceiling rate. As this does not vary according to whether the person is single or married, the exercise would be fruitless.
As a result the relevant provisions have been amended, so that in such circumstances both the annual notional single and the annual notional partnered pension rates are equal to the person's annual pension rate as at the date of grant.
Similar amendments have been made, for the same reasons, to the definition of "annual pension rate" for the purpose of calculating the apportioned single or apportioned partnered amount.
Legislative change – new subsection 45UH and UI
- definition of provisional payment rate
"Provisional payment rate" was previously defined as the rate of service pension payable at the date of grant of pension. The problem was that the term was used within a formula for calculating a bonus where a war widow(er) had changed both marital status and the pension being deferred during their overall qualifying period. This definition did not take account of the fact that the person had changed marital status. The definition of this term has been amended accordingly.
Part 5 – Amendments concerning the backdating of claims for partner service pension in certain circumstances
A veteran with qualifying service may make a claim for an age or invalidity service pension. As a consequence the veteran's partner may claim for a partner service pension (PSP). Both of these pensions provide income support for veterans and their partners.
A person is not eligible to receive a PSP unless the person has reached 50 years of age or has a dependent child when the claim was made. An exception is where a person is the partner of a veteran receiving a special rate of disability pension.
The issue relates to the situations where an initial claim for the special rate of disability pension may not be granted for a number of reasons and therefore the claim for PSP will be refused.
Subsequently, the disability pension (DP) is assessed as being payable at the special rate with the date of effect being either the date the DP claim was lodged, or a date 3 months prior to the lodgement of the application. The partner will then need to make a second claim for a PSP but the current legislation only allows payment of the pension to be granted from the date of the later claim.
A new subsection 38B(3) has been inserted. The new subsection is applicable where a veteran has made a claim for payment of the disability pension at the special rate and it is either rejected initially but subsequently appealed and accepted, or such a claim is determined and accepted after the partner's service pension claim has been refused.
These amendments will enable a claim for PSP by the partner of such a veteran to be backdated if:
a claim for partner service pension by the partner of a veteran has been refused; and
that claim would not have been refused if the veteran was receiving a special rate disability pension; and
the veteran has subsequently been notified that he or she has been granted a disability pension at the special rate; and
the partner of the veteran makes another claim for partner service pension within 3 months of the notification to the veteran;
then the provisional commencement day for the payment of partner service pension will be the later of:
the date the partner made the original claim; or
the date from which the special rate of disability pension was payable to the veteran.
In addition, the new section 38AA will allow for the disclosure of personal information concerning the veteran, to the partner of the veteran. This was required because of the operation of the Privacy Act 1988 and the limits placed by it on the disclosure of personal information to a third party. This section will allow DVA to inform the partner of a veteran about the grant of special rate for the purpose of the partner of that veteran making a claim for PSP.
The Disability Compensation area should continue to refer the veteran's file to the Income Support Section where a veteran is granted the special rate of DP and the veteran and/or partner is not in receipt of service pension.
When inviting partners to claim PSP, information may now be disclosed to the partner of a veteran under section 38AA, about the grant of special rate DP to facilitate their claim for a partner service pension.
Delegates should note that the backdating provisions only apply to persons who satisfy all the conditions of subsection 38B (3).
Part 6 – Amendments concerning the treatment of lump sum compensation
Part IIIC of the VEA was inserted by the Veterans' Affairs (1994-95 Budget Measures) Legislation Amendment Act (No.2). Part IIIC mirrored the compensation recovery provisions that were in Part 3.14 of the SSA.
The application of the compensation recovery provisions depends on the nature of the compensation payments and the circumstances of the pensioner. In certain situations, where a person receives lump sum compensation, the operation of compensation recovery rules may result in part, or all of a person's pension not being payable for a period known as the "lump sum preclusion period".
The Family and Community Services Legislation (Simplification and Other Measures) Act 2001 repealed certain SSA provisions relating to the payment of multiple lump sums. A new section 1171 was inserted as part of the rewrite of Part 3.14.
The amendments to relative provisions in Part IIIC of the VEA will align more closely with the treatment of multiple lump sums of compensation under the SSA. The intention of these amendments is to prevent the circumvention of the compensation recovery provisions by the payment of compensation for the same injury, disease or condition, in more than two lump sums.
Subsection 59Q(5) which provides the preclusion period calculation involving 2 or more separate lump sums has been repealed.
Under the new provision of 59QA, in the circumstances where a person has received two or more lump sum compensation payments wholly, or partially for economic loss, the person will be taken to have received a single lump sum compensation payment equal to the sum of the multiple payments. The 'single' payment will be taken to have been received either on the day on which the last of the multiple payments were received, or if the multiple payments were all received on the same day, that day.
New subsection 59QA(2) provides that a payment exclusively relating to arrears of periodic compensation be excluded from the above provisions.
The Compensation Recovery Guidelines will be updated to reflect the change in the legislation. The Compensation Preclusion Worksheet is currently under review and will be placed in CLIK for easy access.

A Taiwan Railways Administration attendant holds up a Hello Kitty container on the maiden voyage of the Hello Kitty Taipei to Taitung service on Monday.
The Taiwan Railways Administration yesterday said that it is monitoring the number of headrest covers on the seats of its Hello Kitty-themed train after more than 300 of them were stolen by passengers during the train's inaugural run between Taipei and Taitung on Monday.
The administration's first Taroko Express train featuring the popular cartoon character became an immediate sensation earlier this week. However, the administration found that a large number of the headrest covers on the seats, which have Hello Kitty designs printed on them, went missing after the train's inaugural journey was completed yesterday evening.
Asked why so many of the headrest covers were stolen, Liu said that perhaps the passengers wanted to take one of each design and keep them as souvenirs. The administration did not expect that most of the headrest covers would be taken away, he said.
The estimated loss totaled about NT$16,000, he added.
It was not the first time that Taiwanese travelers were reported to have taken away items on transportation systems or from public places. Passengers on EVA Airways Corp's (長榮航空) Hello Kitty aircraft, for example, were found to have taken napkins, paper cups, dining utensils and pillow cases featuring Hello Kitty designs. Some passengers even tried to tuck pillows into their carry-on luggage before being asked by flight attendants to take them out.
Liu said that the stolen headrest covers are made of a fabric called Tetron, which can be cleaned and reused.
He said that the administration is considering asking Japan's Sanrio Co, which owns the exclusive rights to produce and sell products featuring Hello Kitty, to produce headrest covers using non-woven fabric instead.
As the administration plans to use the special Taroko Express train again to observe the 90th anniversary of the launch of the Hualien-Taitung railway line, Liu said that the administration would monitor the headrest covers in each train carriage.
On-board service personnel are to deliver public broadcast messages reminding passengers to maintain the cleanliness of each carriage, he added.
The administration has an inventory of only 1,600 headrest covers, which might not be sufficient, Liu said.

title: I destroyed my home server
---

So today I saw [nextcloud](https://nextcloud.com/), and I started to install it immidiately. And I was quite lazy so I followed a tutorial, since I didn't really understand the install docs, since I was quite lazy, and also a little tired and maybe even a little neglectful.

[The tutorial](https://www.linux.com/learn/how-install-nextcloud-server-ubuntu) contained a script that is supposed to fix permissions in `/var/www/nextcloud`

This was the script:
{% highlight bash %}
#!/bin/bash

ocpath='/var/www/nextcloud'

htuser='www-data'

htgroup='www-data'

rootuser='root'

printf "Creating possible missing Directories\n"

mkdir -p $ocpath/data

mkdir -p $ocpath/assets

mkdir -p $ocpath/updater

printf "chmod Files and Directories\n"

find ${ocpath}/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0640

find ${ocpath}/ -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0750

printf "chown Directories\n"

chown -R ${rootuser}:${htgroup} ${ocpath}/

chown -R ${htuser}:${htgroup} ${ocpath}/apps/

chown -R ${htuser}:${htgroup} ${ocpath}/assets/

chown -R ${htuser}:${htgroup} ${ocpath}/config/

chown -R ${htuser}:${htgroup} ${ocpath}/data/

chown -R ${htuser}:${htgroup} ${ocpath}/themes/

chown -R ${htuser}:${htgroup} ${ocpath}/updater/

chmod +x ${ocpath}/occ

printf "chmod/chown .htaccess\n"

if [ -f ${ocpath}/.htaccess ]

then

 chmod 0644 ${ocpath}/.htaccess

 chown ${rootuser}:${htgroup} ${ocpath}/.htaccess

fi

if [ -f ${ocpath}/data/.htaccess ]

then

 chmod 0644 ${ocpath}/data/.htaccess

 chown ${rootuser}:${htgroup} ${ocpath}/data/.htaccess

fi
{% endhighlight %}

I pasted it into vim, saved it as `nextcloud_permissions.sh`, gave it the execution permissions(`chmod +x nextcloud_permissions.sh`) Then you're supposed to run it: `sudo ./nextcloud_permissions.sh`

But then I got a bunch of `access denied` and `permission insufficient`(or something) just hell. Then I ran it again: `/bin/something/sudo-: access denied`. My heart started to beat faster.

I tried to `ls`(list files): `/bin/something/ls-: access denied`. I tried to reconnect, but that didn't work. Then I realised I broke my server.

Later I found out what went wrong: I didn't notice is that I didn't copy/paste it correctly. This was the top of the file: `cpath='/var/www/nextcloud'`, instead of this:

```
#!/bin/bash

ocpath='/var/www/nextcloud'
```

Notice the `cpath` instead of `ocpath`. And then notice this line: `chown -R ${rootuser}:${htgroup} ${ocpath}/`

The line changes the owner of the directory `${ocpath}/` to `${rootuser}:${htgroup}` recursively.

`ocpath` is undefined, resulting in outputting `${ocpath}` into nothing, meaning that what will be executed is this: `chown -R root:www-data /`

So every file on my system is now owned by root, by the group `www-data`. It's virtually impossible to get it working properly again. No warning was thrown because I used `sudo` - meaning let this program do whatever it wants to the system.

Thankfully, my smb shares are still up, so I cloned some backed up config files I got access too - and the faulty script. Tomorrow I'm going to copy some config files I didn't got access to. Probably in recovery mode or a live usb or something. Because I'm lazy.

The Alameda Kitchen will transform surplus, slightly blemished produce into value-added, ready-to-eat products for the community through a work-training program employing individuals from the Alameda Point Collaborative (APC), a housing community for formerly homeless individuals and families. Our holistic approach will ignite economic opportunity, improve community health, reclaim food as culture, and revive community connections.
The kitchen will bring positive change on micro and macro levels of our food system. On an individual scale, those who complete the training program will benefit from increased money, skills, empowerment, well-being, and self-sufficiency. The program will provide a new market for local businesses and farms to distribute and sell their surplus items. On a community-scale, Alameda Kitchen will increase access to healthy, low cost food for vulnerable and food insecure populations, and contribute to improved community health. On a system scale, Alameda Kitchen will increase the amount of edible food kept out of the waste stream, and will ignite a shift in culture to be more conscious of wasted food and its consequences.
Using fresh fruits and vegetables that would otherwise be discarded from farms and distributors due to imperfections, the Alameda Kitchen will create nutritious food products that can be sold to local food businesses and provided at low cost to food insecure communities. The products we sell to businesses at market value will subsidize fresher, and healthier meals for agencies that are working to promote food access for vulnerable populations.
Since 40% of all food produced in the U.S. is wasted, we have an enormous amount of food to rescue. The Alameda Kitchen's strategy to maximize usage of all rescued foods is to focus on producing one highly versatile product: hearty, healthy soups. Nearly all rescued produce can make for delicious soup ingredients and the aesthetic quality of those initial ingredients is entirely irrelevant to our final product. Soups also have the advantage of being easily frozen or canned for an indefinitely long shelf life. The Alameda Kitchen's focus on soup production will exponentially increase the amount of food we are able to save from landfills. This, in turn, mitigates the total amount of harmful greenhouse gas emissions while further capitalizing on the natural resources already spent to produce these valuable foods.
Our work training program, executed in collaboration with Alameda Point Collaborative (APC), will provide participants with the tools, employment opportunities, information and support they need to successfully re-enter the workforce. The Alameda Kitchen will train, educate, engage, and employ APC residents while using the kitchen as a catalyst to meet other community needs. Food Shift cares deeply about ending the cycle of poverty and hunger and we know that food alone won't solve hunger. APC residents want to get back to work, and the kitchen will provide hands-on-experience and support to make it possible.
Solutions to combat food waste will need to be as multifaceted as the problem itself. The Alameda Kitchen is a financially sustainable model that reduces food waste while addressing hunger and creating jobs.
Food Shift works collaboratively with communities, businesses, and governments to develop long-term sustainable solutions to reduce food waste and build more resilient communities.


The company is expecting to recruit over 100 staff this year to add to its current pool of over 400 staff, and is looking to the UK for staff particularly in roles for business consulting and product development.
Executive Chairman Adrian Di Marco said that TechnologyOne had a lot to offer candidates from the UK.
"TechnologyOne's head office is in Queensland, which boasts an affordable and fantastic lifestyle," Mr Di Marco said.
"Staff joining our team are rewarded with the opportunity to develop world class software applications from scratch, rather than localised add ons or enhancements to multi-national products.
"Our consultants are supported by well developed methodologies, a direct relationships with our customers, and substantial opportunities to travel throughout the Asia Pacific region.
"We have opportunities available across our business, from development and consulting, through to corporate services and support.

The Newport Mercury, October 12, 1811, four page newspaper.
Approximately 40 column inches in length describing why USA should be at war with the Britain. 4 pages, 12.5" x 19" deep, folded to 12.5" x 9.5" approximately. The pages have be torn apart along the 20" height in the centre leaving a ragged edge. No type is affected. Otherwise condition is good. America officially delcared War on Great Britiain which included Canada, on June 18, 1812. This was 8 months after this newspaper was published. It was almost one year to the day after this article the Battle of Queenston Heights (Oct. 12, 1812) was fought.
The casues of the War of 1812 is often discussed today however this is an American perspective printed in an American newspaper 8 months before the start of the War of 1812.


My Squeezebox radio finally died a while back, after years of various problems. I have previously built a PiCoreplayer, but miss the portability of of my radio. Has anyone tried to gut a Squeezebox Radio and replace it with a Raspberry Pi, including replacing the radio LCD and configuring the knobs? Just thinking it might be an interesting project, but, though the standalone player was pretty easy to set up, I'm not technical enough to figure out how to set up things like the knobs myself, so I was hoping someone had successfully done it.
I'm not sure it would be worth the cost - I constantly had problems with Wifi Dropping and doing other weird things. Sometimes, by the time I got the Wifi back up I no longer wanted to listen to the music. :( Also, I'm interested in seeing if I could have something more by the time I am done...touchscreen instead of old LCD?!


Our primary goal is to provide the safest, happiest, and developmentally appropriate environment for your child. All activities are planned based on sound theories of early childhood education. Outside each room is a bulletin board listing the daily schedule, activities that have been planned, what actually happened ('cause it doesn't always go as planned!), eating and sleeping info, and any other pertinent information. Each room also has a memo and white boards for daily reminders, staff shifts, etc.
We believe communication between parents and staff is the key to a successful child care arrangement. While drop off and pick up times can be busy times of the day and therefore not always the best opportunity to discuss your child, you are always welcome to request one on one time with staff which can be arranged for a mutually convenient time.
Part of our role is to be available to you as a resource - please don't hesitate to ask lots questions and provide comments. We are thrilled to have you join the Campus Child Care Co-operative of Guelph and thank you for sharing your child with us. We will all benefit from the journey!


This exhibition takes its name from Jean Francois Millet's painting The Gleaners (1857), which depicts three peasant women hunched down picking the remainders of a harvest. The traditional practice of gleaning involves gathering and sharing forgotten or ignored food crops, but gleaning occurs whenever things or ideas that were once cast aside are given new value. In this exhibtion Canadian and international artists glean for stories.
The exhibition will be accompanied by information about Nanaimo's organized food gleaning programs courtesy of Nanaimo Foodshare.
A talk and tour on the relationship between collecting and storytelling with artist Kara Uzelman and curator Jesse Birch on Saturday, January 24, 2pm.
Nanaimo Art Gallery's Art LabThe Gleaners and I (2000) is a documentary recording modern day gleaners while they scavenge for food, forgotten items, and trinkets in both urban and rural regions of France. Traditionally gleaners are those who search farmers fields for produce that mechanized harvesting has left behind, although in urban settings gleaners dumpster dive for objects and food that have been rejected because of minor bruising or damage.
Agnès Varda's The Gleaners and I (2000) is a part of Nanaimo Art Gallery's exhibition Gleaners on until May 2, 2015.
Join us for screenings of The Gleaners and I and free popcorn in Art Lab at Nanaimo Art Gallery's downtown location.
A Salt Walk with Randy Lee Cutler.
Join artist Randy Lee Cutler for a walk through downtown Nanaimo exploring the enduring relationship that civilizations have had with salt, from its importance in food preservation and healing to more aesthetic and philosophical implications.
Meet at the gallery's downtown location 2pm on Saturday, April 18, 2015.

Q: VAA and VSS asymmetry in IRS2092 class D amplifier I'm using an IRS2092 to amplify an input voltage. The output load is 3.6 Ω. I'm using the application diagram proposed in the datasheet, but switching is not happening and the issue seems to be with the VAA voltage.
According to the datasheet, there are 2 Zener diodes (6 V reverse voltage, one between VAA and GND, the other one between GND and VSS) so that if VAA sinks a certain amount of current (1 to 11 mA), these diodes will become reverse-biased, hence they maintain a 12 V difference between VAA and VSS (this is what I understood from the datasheet, please correct me if I'm wrong).
In my test, VAA is almost zero with respect to GND in spite of the fact that it is draining an almost 12 mA current and VSS is almost -7.5 V (9 mA current).
My questions are "what is the cause of the issue?" and "how can I fix it?"
Also, a 12 V supply is used to establish VGS voltages. Due to high current draining from this supply, it cannot provide the supposed voltage and it is reduced to almost 3 V and I don't know what the cause is.

Google rolled out new workplace policies and guidelines for internal communication last week, a response to employees who have pressed the company for months to address their concerns over workplace harassment. Google CEO Sundar Pichai announced the changes in a company-wide email that stressed the company's effort to maintain its open culture while enforcing respectful communication among employees.
Current and former employees told Gizmodo that Google's myriad mailing lists have become hotbeds of harassment and trolling, particularly in discussions about diversity in the tech industry, and that some employees who advocate internally for diversity and inclusion have been doxed. Several former employees have sued Google for harassment and discrimination. Google employees also partnered with shareholders last month in an effort to link executive compensation to diversity goals. The shareholder proposal was not approved, in part because Google executives hold a majority of the company's stock, but the asset management firm backing the proposal viewed it as a way to convey to executives how seriously shareholders take diversity.
Google has a more communicative culture than many tech companies—employees can set up their own interest-based mailing lists and often communicate with each other on internal Google Plus and other messaging platforms. (These mailing lists are where former Google engineer James Damore circulated a memo in which he argued women were biologically less suitable for tech careers than men.) In an internal survey conducted this January, Google employees said that the level of respect in company-wide discussions had declined and that incivility on internal communication platforms was on the rise.
This is the first time Google has expressly acknowledged the growing toxicity of its internal communication platforms and the impact it has on employees.
Google's new workplace policies, which clarify standards for harassment and make the HR response more transparent to employees, include a more detailed list of behaviours that qualify as harassment and give specific guidance about how employees should communicate with each other. The policy also gives workers more context about how HR investigates and resolves matters, and informs employees of their rights to discuss working conditions.
The new community guidelines put employees who administer mailing lists in charge of moderating the conversations that take place there—although Google says it will start providing moderation tools in the future. The guidelines also ask employees to be open to having their minds changed and to avoid making blanket statements about groups of people.
New hires at Google will be trained on the policies as part of their onboarding process, while current employees are expected to read up on the policies.
A Google spokesperson said the changes were intended to provide clarity and boundaries while preserving the company's open culture. Workers see the changes as a positive response to their advocacy—but Google has more work to do, they say.
Google employees circulated a petition among their co-workers in February that asked executives to reschedule a town hall session on diversity that had been cancelled in the aftermath of Damore's memo, to address the problems of employee doxing and harassment, and to be more transparent about how HR handles complaints. More than 2,600 employees signed the petition.
In March, petition organisers met with several Google executives, including Ruth Porat, Chief Financial Officer of Google parent company Alphabet, and Google's vice president of diversity and inclusion, Danielle Brown, to address their demands.
The meeting, and the new policies that followed, have left employees feeling somewhat hopeful about the future at Google after several gruelling months. But a number of concerns remain unaddressed—the town hall has yet to be rescheduled, and the policies do not address the problem of baiting. Google employees told Gizmodo in February that their peers often baited them by making offensive remarks under the guise of 'just asking questions,' with the intent of provoking an angry response.
Google could go further to protect its employees from this practice and to protect employees who have had their personal information published online, employees say. Some employees worry that the policies do not go far enough to protect marginalised workers and ensure their safety in the workplace.

My Lover The Car
Me and my 325is.
I had breakfast with my father this morning and he openly talked about the end of his driving life. Granted, at 91, he is doing way better than most including what's left of his friends who aren't parked permanently underground. However, even I didn't expect he would bring it up. If my father has any unique talent, it is behind the wheel. It has been a consistent quality of his for as long as I have known him. Even with his most recent rash of chafed and bruised bumpers and fenders, he is still impressive behind the wheel. My fear is that when that day comes is not that I will have to do some chauffeuring but that a good chunk of my father's remaining vitality will be sitting in a grease spot on the vacant spot in his condo.
Unfortunately, I don't see the end of my driving career but I do see my last car on the horizon. Not this one, not the next but after for sure. And this is not because I'm cheap or broke. At one point I will need to find one last lover between the sheet metal as a metaphor for both my own longevity and one last fling in my checkered carburated love history. Such it is with cars and women. If the relationship with the woman lying next to you in bed goes to ground (I have given my current girlfriend way too much out of warranty trouble), you at least have the old girl in the garage. After a while you just hang on to what you've got. You've witnessed it first hand – old duffers tooling around good in ancient Buick Elektras and Mercedes Diesels with 600K on them. Most of these cars have been given feminine names as in – "We're taking old Bessie down to the legion hall."
Its an extension of the gender specific nature of marine vessels going to back to the "Good Ship Venus" and well beyond. "She's taking on water!" bellowed the bo'sun. Or someone like that.
And for our generation, and maybe the older Gen Xers who remember leaded fuel, we are the last to feel that relationship, the primal need for high-power transportation we can own, drive hard, nurture and with which we can kill the planet. Women will let you down. An Eleanor in your life, (Nick Cage's object of desire in Gone In 60 Seconds) well, that's a girl that will never get old. And you can be inside her without paying for dinner. Not to get too graphic but its the truth. See Judge Reinhold in the car wash scene in Fast Times At Ridgemont High. Not sure the millenials will feel the same about the gender-neutral cars of today. Especially when their women are paying half. Or more.
Imagine your first love coming back in your life and looking better than she did way back when. This is why guys my age go to Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale every year and drop six figures on American muscle cars that sold for a small fraction of the price forty five years ago.
My first wasn't really mine. It was my mother's – a 1970 Buick GS Stage 1, bought on my urging, a legend which is remembered with reverence to this day. Blue metallic, white vinyl roof, bench seats, power everything and nothing short of 455 cubic inches under the hood. Three hundred and sixty horses. With my learner's permit in hand I could take the speedometer completely around the horn. One hundred and forty miles per hour was not a problem. For my idiot friends and I it was our chariot to the storied Watkins Glen Festival of 1973 and when my mother died later that year, the car became mine for a short while. There was a pledge class trip to DC from Penn State, a complete destruction of the front end by my sister for which I took the heat lest there were two kids in the family with horrible reputations behind the wheel. Mostly I remember my mother behind the wheel with my little brother sitting on seat beside her. He is autistic and to this day if I ask him what his mother said in the car forty five years ago he parrots a good Brooklyn accent – "C'mon lady lets go!" Was it my first love? It was surely a schoolboy crush. Tantalizing but never really mine.
A few months later my father sold it off, like most everybody with little foresight and not enough garage to keep muscle around that would rise exponentially in value. It was time for me to get my own car and I went in a completely different direction – a 1974 Fiat X/19 sled. This was the coolest looking little wedge ever, complete with pop-up headlights and a trunk that could easily fit a couple of canoles. I remember a drive to New York, some sketchy nights in the snow and a nifty car to take down to the campus where I had a parking spot thanks to my part time job as sports editor of the school paper. As a lover it was thin skinned and the looks oxidized a little to quickly. I remember taking the prettiest girl in the city to a party in it. She was there purely for show, no different than the Fiat. I was shallow as the Italian engineering – dating for looks and looks alone. My date moved on and so did those old rusty Fiats which couldn't survive a collision with Corgi, the dog or the toy.
Next up was a Limited Edition VW Rabbit. I think the limited element was the crushed velour interior. This car coincided with my first serious girlfriend who, like the VW, was demanding but loyal. Meatloaf on the cassette deck going like a Bat Out Of Hell. Sexy when it had to be. I remember some front seat activity. Dependable too as it stood me for my first full-time job up in Ottawa and a frigid winter up there covering the junior hockey scene. I brought it back to Toronto a year later. Eventually I took a break from my dependable girlfriend for a racier model with more than merely an infectious personality and both the affair and the car died, the latter courtesy of skid over an old railway tie that trashed the engine. The mechanic stole my Porsche sunglasses out of the glove compartment. Wish I had them now. Maybe the girl too. This what happens when you have a reckless youth. Wrecked cars and relationships.
After that, wait for the harp, my first BMW! Je suis arrivee! It was a three year old 320i, green, no A/C, no sunroof and manual windows. Folks, this was back in the day when people with BMWs would pop their head-lights at each other when oncoming in traffic. This was a club, a smug self-satisfied club to be sure, but a very cool place to be right down to my now defunct dealer who would let you hang out in the garage. I was still in my mid-20s so combine that with a gig as a rock critic and an expense account….it was an equation for good times and some status for which I was foolishly lobbying.
I put in a kick-ass Bose sound system and in the short time I had the car – maybe six months – I remember a really nice drive to Cape Cod with the girlfriend. Yuppie porn. The lack of A/C was not a problem. It was a BMW. I still remember the sound the door made as it closed. Solid. The romance was like a starter marriage – over before it started.
Late that summer, on Labor Day, some drunk kid in his mother's Mercury Montego hit me from behind at stoplight. I didn't feel it. The damage from my car hitting the guy in front of me totaled that car. The Bimmer was swept up onto a dolly because it couldn't be towed. I had a spinal concussion and had to be pulled unconscious through the window. Thankfully I had previously dropped off the girl I had taken to the concert. The cop said that had I been driving anything less than the BMW I would have been looking at eternity. The kid got a three month suspended license, I got about $10K. That's the way it was back then. Wham bam thank you insurance ma'am. But the car saved my life. I always wondered if my girl with whom I shared five fun years could have made my future better had I hung in there.
The writer on the auto beat at the paper knew somebody at BMW and got me a deal on another 320, this one a reliable 1981 model in silver with black interior. Strangely, of all the cars I had I remember that one the least other than it was the vehicle with which I transported a lot of eager women (I was at my peak of hipness in those years) and ultimately, my future wife. Both were keepers. Maybe I was getting older, turning the corner, getting more practical.
In 1983 I sold it and moved to New York and went carless for at least a year and change until my uncle gave me his 1975 GMC Jimmy. Now this was a cool truck because the entire roof could be unbolted and taken off to reveal a nifty roll bar and a removable backseat. I gave it new paint, emblazoned the door with the logo for my concert promotion company – Gross National Product – and drove this bad boy everywhere including the Buffalo airport to pick up rap acts like Run DMC who were flying up on People's Express (hands up if your remember the airline where you bought your tickets ON THE PLANE!) In the summer I had to put a tarp over the seats and the center console could double as an aquarium but it was very Walker, Texas Ranger in the open air. Lisa, my wife, and I were a pretty cool young couple and the truck was unique, a metaphor for what we felt was our own singularity. Hey, cops did "Catch and release" all day because they tried to nail me on the lack of shoulder belts. Didn't have none and the police just had to let me go! You don't realize the good times until they are gone. I sold it to a firefighter for $1500.
From there it was back to Bimmerland and a used black-on-black 1982 320s. This lady was trouble. But so was I, in the last throes of my journalism career, struggling in business. Parts of my life didn't fit. Similarly, the previous owner had put headers on the 320 and it needed leaded gas (remember those days) but the car had a reduced radius unleaded nozzle receptor so I had keep a funnel in the trunk and pour the gas through that. There were tune-ups in the four figure area which was a lot thirty years ago. I kept it for a couple of years until I had enough money to buy something newer more dependable. She was too high maintenance when you're trying to quell your inner Peter Pan. Remember Farrell in Old School working on the Camaro? Both of us were a little old for that crap.
Next was the best girl I ever drove – 1987 BMW 325iS in Salmon Silver (see the photo above) and a blue leather interior. Although my wife, now ex, laughs at me about that color to this day, she would agree that the car was terrific. If I needed some excitement "on the side" this was it. Not an ounce of trouble, kept quiet and was responsive to my less-than-sensitive touch. Life was good for four solid years. (That's it in the photo!)
Living in LA for the next few years, and now a family, we made do with a Lexus ES 300 when the lease ran out on the 325iS. Made do, yeah. I think that car was in the family for over ten years and it was a lot more dependable than I was. It was like an aunt that favored you but kept you in line.
When we moved back to Toronto, I was broke. Whatever I had was put into the house. My father-in-law took pity on my and gave me his Saab 2000 or 3000 or whatever the hell it was. It came with a cell phone that was hard wired to the car. Twenty one years later I still have that number. The car however was one of those Saab lemons that never let up. There were $5000 tune-ups I couldn't afford and I don't remember one decent moment in the car. Life was a struggle back then and I didn't merit anything better in a four-wheeled significant other.
Eventually I made enough money to lease a new Saab for reasons that I can't explain. This was a nifty 2-door turbo that was great for a couple of years until everything went wrong, including an episode where my wife and I forgot our 2-year old daughter in the backseat. In the driveway. It was one of those exhausting nights where it was , "You take her". "No you." Not one of our proudest moments. I'm not sure if the statute of limitations has run out on that crime. My daughter digs it up enough for a complete season of CSI: Useless Parents.
After that it was the first of several mid-life crises. I bounced into a Volvo convertible for a couple of years which had the best seats my tush ever touched and the worst trunk for hockey equipment ever.
When that was done, and not flush with cash thanks to private school bills, I bought a brand new 2004 Chrysler Sebring convertible. Zero down, zero interest. Limited edition my friend, which meant this one was limited to how many they could sell. But you know what, this is the car that I will remember on my deathbed. It was never a problem for the eight plus years I had it. With the low and wide Italian design it looked like a Maserati. My marriage broke up around then and the top down was a self-fulfilling prophecy on more than a few nights. My best memories was the annual drive to Montreal for the Just For Laughs comedy festival followed by a long peaceful Sunday drive up to my kids summer camp for Visitor's Day. The car was indestructible. I had to sell it for cash to some Afghani kid when the top died and it would cost more to replace it than what the old girl was worth. She was the love of my automotive life. Funny how a simple American car can provide so much assurance and pleasure. If only I had been as dependable and modest as the car in the years I should have been. Regrets.
What immediately followed the Chrysler was the biggest mistake of my automotive love life. I had gotten back into BMWs during the Sebring period when I bought a second car – I was making a lot of money at the time – an X3 in California when the strong dollar had made it easier to import cars from the U.S. Technically it is mine but after a nasty accident in my ex's relatively new third generation ES 350 – car was totaled but the airbags worked – it was pretty much hers to use and she still does to this day and a with a 100K plus on it, it gave great value. Unfortunately, the next BMW offset every nickel of value in the X3.
I don't know how it happened or what drove me, literally, to madness but with the X3 at the ex's and the aforementioned Chrysler on the way out I passed a dream car, or so I thought, on a used lot downtown. It was a black on black 2008 535XiT wagon. A rarity to be sure. Loaded to the heated steering wheel to the sport seats to the gangster tint job. Took it out for a spin and I was hooked. I left it alone for a couple of months and saved a few grand but man did I love this bad boy when I took it home. It was a big brazen hussy and the first order of business was to take my son back to school in Boston during a horrible blizzard with zero trouble and then stop off at Killington for a couple of days of skiing. On the highway, it was a rock at 140 clicks.
Alas the honeymoon lasted about six months. First, the sunroof drains got clogged and water got into the electrical system shorting out everything including the suspension. Then the warranty ran out just in time for a $2500 tuneup, then I replaced some dinged rims with after market cheapies and the car started to vibrate which I didn't pin on the crappy rims till I replaced about $3K in Tie rods and front end crap. On it went through transmissions and leaking gaskets and crank cases and thermostats – about $2k a quarter for the last year plus. I actually took my problems to the tech guru at Bimmer Magazine and his response – "I hope you have a lot of money".
Included was a full house of speeding tickets that put my insurance up to $6K a year for two years. Soon after the electrics/sunroof fault popped up again and I limped into the dealer with a plea for charity. That wasn't going to happen. The best he could do was bring in the used guy and throw me some trade-in dough It was about $10K for a car that cost me close to $70K with all the repairs in. Thats a $60K cost in about four years. I could have leased a serious Porsche for the same dough.
It was irresponsible to buy this car. With a significant other in my life I might have made a more prudent choice. I am still bitter about this. Once I chastised my father for missing the funeral of a close friend. His answer, "This is what happens when you don't have a wife." Truer words have never been spoken.
Now I had some credit but zero interest in another Bimmer. Those "Nazi bastards" had won to quote Jackie Mason. The service manager, having a little sympathy, said "You're done here but we'll honor the credit across the street at our Mini dealer." Yeah, right. A Mini. Talk about automotive "shrinkage". I had no choice. I dragged my ass over there and mumbled something to a "Sales Hipster" or so it said on his card. Even the service guys had that Williamsburg look. He gave me a set of keys to a car outside and I thought of just thrashing through the gearbox to the point of shredding the tranny as revenge. But I didn't and the car provided more fun in the test than I have it with my clothes. And so I sat down right then and there and ordered a brand new Mini in the 4-door configuration and dressed option by option like a four-cylinder sundae.
Here I am, eight month later, driving this little go kart with some regret. It's just too small. The racy number from my Rabbit days saw me in the gym parking lot and said, "Really?" Yeesh. My current girlfriend has bitten her lip to the point of bloodshed. Its cute, its frugal, its fast and the ergonomics are funky but I am so far out of Mini's target demo its funny. The manual stick is impractical because nobody knows how to drive that way anymore. Long drives are painful and the run flats are annoying. I have had and will have no adventures in this car past some quick lane changes. My aforeblogged scooter is way more exciting.
I will be back into something new in the spring. Something that is set higher so I don't bang my the way in and out. Something with a seat that is suitable for more than the tush of a super model. Something I can grow older (already there?) with and christen with some goofy name like "The Great Gasby". Something with more character than cute. That might be the ultimate problem – every vehicle today is a 'chick car'. But that's another story. Maybe Julio can write a song, "To All The Cars I've Loved Before." Maybe I will.

Q: show calculated date in every row Consider the table given below--
--------------------------------------
age              | date
1 day to 1 day   | 05/02/2016
1 day to 6 week  | 05/02/2016 to 17/02/2016
4 week to 10 week| 25/02/2016 to 14/04/2016

if 05/02/2016 is fixed then how to show other dates in PHP and this is dynamic means 05/02/2016 will be changed.

A: You can use the function datetime in php. Try this, Datetime function
Eg:
<?php
$d1=new DateTime("2016-02-05");
$d2=new DateTime("2016-04-14");
$diff=$d2->diff($d1);
print_r( $diff ) ;

/* returns:
DateInterval Object (
 [y] => 0
 [m] => 2
 [d] => 9
 [h] => 0
 [i] => 0
 [s] => 0
 [invert] => 1
 [days] => 69
)
*/
?>

Can also use add date function
Eg:
<?php
$date = new DateTime('2000-01-01');
$date->add(new DateInterval('P10D'));
echo $date->format('Y-m-d') . "\n";
?>

A: function getSelectedDate($days){
        return date('Y.m.d',strtotime("$days days"));
    }

pass the days count 7 days a week 14 days two week it will give the date from current date.
example oneWeekAfterDate = getSelectedDate(7);

Q: Error in saving minitab graphs and plots: "...collection is empty and contains no valid output object" I want to automate GageR&R study in minitab.
I found code but the line mtbProject.Commands.Item(1).Outputs.Item(1).Graph.SaveAs.
Gives

Run time error:"IOutput: IOutput collection is empty and contains no valid output object"

Sub msa_macro()
    '
    ' msa_macro Macro
    '
    '
    Dim MtbApp As Mtb.Application
    Dim mtbProject As Mtb.Project
    Dim mtbWorksheet As Mtb.Worksheet

    Set MtbApp = New Mtb.Application
    Set mtbProject = MtbApp.ActiveProject
    Set mtbWorksheet = mtbProject.ActiveWorksheet

    MtbApp.UserInterface.Visible = True

    mtbProject.Commands.Item(1).Outputs.Item(1).Graph.SaveAs "C:\Result_Files\grph1.png", True, GFJPEG

End Sub

A: The problem is, that you want to save the Outputs.Item(1) from Commands.Item(1). So you address the first command that you called, which is "Excecute … ", and this has no Output-Item. Therefore the IOutputs Collection for this Command-Item is empty.
The Output-Collection is defined as the Items of Outputs for each command. What you would want to do, is to save the first Output-Item of the command with which you created the graph.
It would be very helpful, if you could provide some information about your readfileMinitab_test.mtb. What are you doing in this .mtb file, is it also a macro-enabled file? I would guess, that you create the graph in this file?
If you want to save your graph as a .png, I guess you might need the MtbGraphFiletype GFPNGColor instead of GFJPEG. You also don´t need to save the file as grph1.png (just grph1 will suffice), as this is done automatically, because you tell Minitab to save it in a specific filetype.
You could also use the digit-code for the Filetypes (which is a little bit shorter). This would mean GFPNGColor = 3 and GFJPEG = 1. For some further information about this I recommend you the Minitab-Automation-Guide.
An example code could look as following:
'This is the first Command Minitab is executing
mtbProject.ExectueCommand "Execute <something>"

'This is the second Command Minitab is executing
mtbProject.ExecuteCommand "Boxplot C" & CStr(i as Integer)

About Doncaster
Doncaster is a town in South Yorkshire, England, and the principal settlement of the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster. The town is about 20 miles (32 km) from Sheffield and is popularly referred to as "Donny". Doncaster has an international airport, and in recent years its centre has undergone regeneration including the development of an Education City campus, currently the largest education investment of its kind in the UK. Doncaster has also recently extended the Frenchgate Centre, a shopping centre and transport interchange. According to the 2001 census, the urban sub-area of Doncaster had a population of 67,977. Together with Bentley and Armthorpe, it forms an urban area with a population of 127,851. The wider metropolitan borough has a population of around 286,866. In 2010, Doncaster was named the UK's ninth "most musical" city by PRS for Music. Doncaster is located at 53°31′N 1°8′W ― the site of a Roman fort which was built in the 1st century AD at the site of a crossing across the River Don. The Roman empirical command of Ninius called this fort "Caer Daun". Later the commands of Antoninus Pius and Notitia Dignitatum called this fort Danum, from which the town derives the Don part of its name; caster a Saxon word corrupted from the Latin original Castra, meaning a military camp. Doncaster was home to the Roman Crispinian horse garrison. The cavalry took its name from Crispus, son of Constantine the Great.


Shop for books about Python.
Python is a programming language developed by, and first released by, Guido van Rossum in 1991. The Python language is released under the Python Software Foundation License (PSFL) which is a permissive open source license, and in its most recent revision is fully compatible with the GPL.
I wasn't smart enough to learn a computer language like Python—until I got smart about how to learn it.
I was smart enough to earn an honors degree in philosophy from Harvard, but an aptitude test told me to avoid computer programming. I'm sure it was right. But then I designed a learning system for myself that quadrupled my aptitude for learning computer languages. It worked so well for me that I've used it to teach coding to grandmothers, cab drivers, musicians, and 50,000 other newbies.
Washington University research shows that a key teaching method I use—interactive recall practice—improves learning performance 400 percent.
Understanding is easy. Remembering is hard.
Computer languages are not inherently hard to understand, even for non-techies. Remembering is the problem. If you remember all of Chapter 1 through Chapter 10, you'll understand Chapter 11. But you don't remember. Though you read and read, most of it doesn't stick. You don't have a solid foundation to build on. Halfway through the book, it all collapses. That's when most people give up.
Interactive exercises make it stick.
Research shows that you will remember everything if you're repeatedly asked to recall it. That's the beauty of flash cards. But technology offers an even better way to make information stick. With my book you get almost a thousand interactive exercises—they're free online—that embed the whole book in your memory. Algorithms check your work to make sure you know what you think you know. When you stumble, you do the exercise again. You keep trying until you know the chapter cold.
You won't get bored or sleepy.
The exercises keep you engaged, give you extra practice where you're shaky, and prepare you for each next step. Every lesson is built on top of a solid foundation that you and I have carefully constructed. Each individual step is small. But all the little steps add up to real knowledge—knowledge that you retain.
Really, it ain't that hard.
Reviewing my books on Amazon, readers who've struggled with programming concepts like functions, loops, and scope write, "I had no idea these things were so simple!"
You don't need to be a computer genius to learn Python. You just need to be smart about how you learn it.
-wants to be a Python expert in lesser time.
-thinks mastering Python is either tough or boring.
• The kickstart guide and tools.
• The codes and exercises for a stronger foundation.
• First of all these languages are taught in a way that make them harder to understand.
• Now even if understood, they remain harder to remember.
• Even worse, the application of concepts is underestimated.
• Has a 7 days crash course where each day you will progress from a beginner level to an advanced user.
• Has all the updates of the year 2019 so you won't be missing out on any essential information.

Q: Multi languages procedure style broken In order to support german language i create a

values-de

folder where i pasted all files from original

values

folder with the appropriate changes to strings. App functionality remains ok but style is broken. Action bar doesn't show up app logo, text size is smaller and so on.
Any idea why this happens; Isn't app logo on action bar determined only by Manifest file; Is there anything else i must do that i forgot; Thanks in advance

A: German language requires strings.xml only.
Obviously you changed other files in values-de.
Clean those to solve ;)

Q: If $G$ is a finite nonsolvable group then $G$ contains a nontrivial subgroup $H$ such that $\left[H,H\right]=H$. Show that if $G$ is a finite nonsolvable group then $G$ contains a nontrivial subgroup $H$ such that $\left[H,H\right]=H$.

A: Note that $[H,H]\leqslant H$ for any group $H$.  Thus, by contrapositive, if $G$ contains no non-trivial subgroup $H$ so that $[H,H]=H$, then $[H,H]$ is a proper subgroup of $H$ for each nontrivial subgroup $H$ of $G$.  In particular, every term of the derived series of $G$ is strictly smaller than the previous term, whence the series converges to $1$, so $G$ is solvable.

A: Hint: If $\,G\,$ is simple (and non-abelian, of course) the claim is trivial (why?), so we can assume $\,G\,$ has a non-trivial normal subgroup. Now take a peek at a non-trivial normal minimal subgroup.

The history of the Jews in Bolivia stretches from the independence of Bolivia in the year 1825 to the end of the 19th century. At the time, Jewish merchants (both Sephardim and Ashkenazim) came to Bolivia, most of them taking local women as wives and founding families that merged into the mainstream Catholic society. This was often the case in the eastern regions of Santa Cruz, Tarija, Beni and Pando, where these merchants came either from Brazil or Argentina.
During the 20th century, substantial Jewish settlement began in Bolivia. In 1905, a group of Russian Jews, followed by Argentines, settled in Bolivia. In 1917, it was estimated that there were only 20 to 25 professing Jews living in the country. By 1933, when the Nazi era in Germany started, there were 30 Jewish families. The first huge amount of Jewish immigrants was in the 1930s and there were 7,000 of them estimated at the end of 1942. During the 1940s, 2,200 Jews emigrated from Bolivia. But the ones who remained have settled their communities in La Paz, Cochabamba, Oruro, Santa Cruz, Sucre, Tarija and Potosí. After World War II, a small amount of Polish Jews came to Bolivia. By 1939, Jewish communities gained greater stability in the country.
In recent decades, the Jewish community of Bolivia has declined significantly, many of them migrating to other countries such as Israel, the United States and Argentina.[1] The Jewish community in Bolivia has approximately 700 members, most of them located in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, followed by La Paz and Cochabamba, having the presence of synagogues in all these cities.[2]
Agricultural Colonies 1
Agricultural Colonies
During the 1938-1940 immigration wave, Jewish refugees received help from the German Jewish business man Maurice Hochschild who had investments in Bolivia. He helped get visas for Jewish immigrants from Europe and helped found the Sociedad de Proteccion a los Immigrantes Israelitas. Working with the Sociedad Colonizadora de Bolivia, Maurice Hochschild helped develop rural agricultural projects for Jewish refugees. The refugees, however, faced many difficulties and the farms were never able to become self-sufficient.[3]
In recent decades the degree of antisemitism in Bolivia has been considerably increased by various groups and at various times. During the administration of Germán Busch Becerra, in the 1930s, the Jewish community achieved a sustained stability. However, the presidents who succeeded Busch were less enthusiastic about Jewish migration, manifesting antisemitism on several occasions, mainly in the cities of La Paz and Cochabamba, where there were unfortunate attacks on Jewish businesses and community agencies.[4] The religious buildings are not exempt from attacks, since the Synagogue of Cochabamba, in the centre of the country, was attacked in 2014, being damaged by stones and attacks with Molotov cocktails. During the administration of Evo Morales antisemitism has surfaced more notoriety. In January 2009, the Morales government broke ties with Israel, declaring the Jewish state as a "terrorist and genocidal state". Also, the Bolivian government canceled an agreement established in 1972 which allowed Israeli citizens visit the Andean country without porting visa.

Every good sporting event has a mascot! The Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games Corporation (CCG) has successfully registered its trade mark for the BOROBI word in Australia, the name chosen for this year's Gold Coast Commonwealth Games blue koala mascot (the Mark), just in the nick of time.
CCG commenced the trade mark application process in Australia in April 2016, some two years before the Commonwealth Games was set to commence. The application for the Mark claimed priority from a Tongan application filed in 2015.
In July 2016, after the Mark was accepted by IP Australia, Jabree Ltd (Jabree) opposed CCG's trade mark application for the Mark nominating grounds of opposition under sections 42 and 43 of the Trade Marks Act 1995 (Cth) (TMA).
use of the Mark by CCG would mislead the public into believing that CGG's goods and services had been approved by the Yugambeh people, and that the Mark was associated with the Yugambeh people as traditional owners of the Gold Coast region.
CCG claimed one of its key priorities was to respectfully and meaningfully engage in consultation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
CCG noted the 'borobi' word was registered as a protected word under the Commonwealth Games Arrangements Act 2011 (Qld) (Games Act), so only CGG, the Australian Commonwealth Games Association and the Commonwealth Games Federation are legally entitled to use the word in connection with the event.
Elder Patricia O'Connor, a Kombumerri woman who to her knowledge is the most senior Community Elder of the Yugambeh Language people, and a traditional custodian gave evidence she did not give permission for Jabree to file its opposition on behalf of the community. Ms O'Connor gave evidence she fully supported the trade mark application by CCG, and considers use of the word 'borobi' to be a respectful celebration of culture and language.
Wesley Aird (the sole director of Jabree, and a Yugambeh man) disputed these claims on behalf of Jabree, arguing the consultation process between CCG and advisory committees made up of Community Elders, Traditional Custodians and other Aboriginal people was flawed, and the process failed to actually consult with any member of the Yugambeh community.
In relation to the meetings held by CGG, in his evidence, Mr Aird claimed 'It is clear...that the Applicant had already made the decision to use the word 'Borobi' as the mascot for the Games and the endorsement sought at the meeting on 1 April 2016 was merely a show for those in attendance'.
CCG argued it was not legally required to consult with interested parties, but did so in recognition of the cultural sensitivity surrounding use of the Mark.
the word 'borobi' is a protected word under the Games Act and CCG had obtained an endorsement from the Yugambeh people, so use of the Mark by CGG could not be 'contrary to law' pursuant to section 42(b) of the TMA.
The mascot has certainly not been without controversy; in 2016 CCG had to respond to claims the surfing koala mascot image was a rip-off of a local designer's koala image named 'Nobby'.
The 'Borobi' trade mark is now registered, over two years since the application process began, and fewer than two months before the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games is due to commence. Setting aside the clear sensitivity of issues associated with use (or appropriation) of cultural objects, and the complexity of the legal issues surrounding these matters, and notwithstanding that Australian trade mark registration times are relatively fast by world comparisons, it was a long process to obtain registration in this instance.
To avoid a last minute race to the finish, trade mark owners should engage with advisers early to determine a strategic plan for both use and registration. This is particularly important for highly publicised brands.
