Q: Desing patterns with using EntityFramework? Interface
public interface IDinnerRepository
{
    IQueryable<Dinner> FindAllDinners();
    IQueryable<Dinner> FindDinnersByText(string q);

    Dinner GetDinner(int id);

    void Add(Dinner dinner);
    void Delete(Dinner dinner);

    void Save();
}

Class that is inherited from above interface
public class DinnerRepository : NerdDinner.Models.IDinnerRepository
{
    NerdDinnerEntities db = new NerdDinnerEntities();

    Public IQueryable<Dinner> FindDinnersByText(string q)
    {
         return db.Dinners.Where(d => d.Title.Contains(q)
             || d.Description.Contains(q)
             || d.HostedBy.Contains(q));
    }

    public IQueryable<Dinner> FindAllDinners()
    {
         return db.Dinners;
    }

    public Dinner GetDinner(int id)
    {
        return db.Dinners.SingleOrDefault(d => d.DinnerID == id);
    }

    public void Add(Dinner dinner)
    {
        db.Dinners.AddObject(dinner);
    }

    public void Delete(Dinner dinner)
    {
        foreach (RSVP rsvp in dinner.RSVPs.ToList())
            db.RSVPs.DeleteObject(rsvp);

        db.Dinners.DeleteObject(dinner);
   }

   public void Save()
   {
        db.SaveChanges();
   }
}

Usage in a program
public class DinnerOperation
{
    DinnerRepository dr = new DinnerRepository();

    // insert
    public void InsertDinner()
    {
        Dinner dinner = dr.GetDinner(5);
        dr.Dinner.Add(dinner);
        dr.Save();
    }

    // delete
    public void DeleteDinner()
    {
        Dinner dinner = dr.GetDinner(5);
        dr.Dinner.Delete(dinner);
        dr.Save();
    }
}

And without using repository design pattern...
public class DinnerOperation
{
    DinnerEntities entity = new DinnerEntities();

    // insert
    public void InsertDinner()
    {
        Dinner dinner = entity.Dinners.Find(5);
        entity.Dinner.Add(dinner);
        entity.SaveChanges();
    }

    // delete
    public void DeleteDinner()
    {
        Dinner dinner = entity.Dinners.Find(5);
        entity.Dinner.Remove(dinner);
        entity.SaveChanges();
    }
}

Question
I cant understand, in here, Why did we use design pattern?
When using the Repository design pattern with Entity Framework in this way does not mean anything.
How can I use design pattern with entitiy framework? When does it make sense to use design pattern with entity framework?

A: You almost got it. First, refactor your dinner operation class so that the repository implementation could be injected into it.
public class DinnerOperation
{
  private IDinnerRepository dr;
  public DinnerOperation( IDinnerRespository repository ) {
     this.dr = repository;
  }

  // insert
  public void InsertDinner()
  {
      Dinner dinner = dr.GetDinner(5);
      dr.Dinner.Add(dinner);
      dr.Save();
  }

  // delete
  public void DeleteDinner()
  {
      Dinner dinner = dr.GetDinner(5);
      dr.Dinner.Delete(dinner);
      dr.Save();
  }
}

Then implement different repositories:
public class EntityFrameworkDinnerRepository : IDinnerRepository
public class NHibernateDinnerRepository : IDinnerRepository
public class Linq2SqlDinnerRepository : IDinnerRepository
public class MockDinnerRepository : IDinnerRepository
....

and then use any repository you want:
var repository = new ....Repository();
var operation = new DinnerOperation( repository );

operation.GetDinner(5);

Repositories are used to abstract your concrete data providers and thus making your architecture more felible.
Want to switch to nHibernate?
Painful, if you have EntityFramework everywhere.
Easy, if you use repositories, you just inject another repository and your business logic doesn't have to change.
Want to unit test your business logic?
Painful, if you are stick to a concrete data provider.
Easy, if you have repositories, you just inject an inmemory repository which doesn't even use the database.
Got it now?

A: I refuse to use the repository pattern when I am using an ORM. I think it has very little if any benefit in that case. (Yes, I expect to get down voted about 2,000 times by zealots).
With EF, I create an interface for my Context
public interface IDinnerContext : IDisposable
{
    IDbSet<Dinner> Dinners;

    int SaveChanges();
}

I then stick this interface on my EF DatabaseContext implementations, and viola! I can use EF everywhere, unit test my db access with MOCK implementations, use injection if I wish, and not end up with 6 million GetByXXX methods. IQeryable handles that, and I get delayed execution. I don't really need Insert/Delete methods because IDBSet already has Add/Remove. I have cleaner/easier to read code with fewer abstractions.
If I DO have a case where the same query is used in many different places, and I really do want that to be common, then I can add some mechanism to support that. However, 95% of the time, queries are specific to the component responsible for business logic X (anything outside the simple GetBy statements). So I don't see that as an issue.
Don't get me wrong, I used the repository pattern religiously until ORMs became pretty decent. Once ORMs reached a certain level of sophistication, I felt the the repository pattern may no longer be required and began doing projects without it.... and have NEVER looked back. I think that everyone else will eventually follow in this direction, or something quite similar, but it will take a while for old habits to die. (I know some devs that still insist on using lock(this) because its still in some of the MS samples).

A: It's the Repository pattern, which in itself would be superflous with Entity Framework because the DbContext serves as a Repository and Unit of Work at the same time, but it's not mockable - there's no IDbContext. So you end up putting DbContext in a thin repository wrapper so you can easily test components later on.
I think it's worth mentioning that I have never used Repository pattern with NHibernate, because the session and session factory are interfaces - ISession and ISessionFactory accordingly.
If you use a repository by interface somewhere (IRepository) and inject it, the testing by mocking/stubbing will be much easier:
public class DinnerOperation
{
    private readonly IDinnerRepository repository;

    public DinnerOperation(IDinnerRepository dinnerRepository)
    {
        repository = dinnerRepository;
    }
}

Of course you'd have to use IoC container of choice to inject the right instance for you (DinnerRepository in this case), or do the DI 'by hand'.
That way you can test DinnerOperation class against mocked or stubbed repository. When you instantiate DbContext, you can't.

Is Nigel Farage Scared Of Standing In The Election? Nick Ferrari Asked Him
4 November 2019, 08:46 | Updated: 4 November 2019, 08:47
Nick Ferrari challenged Nigel Farage over his decision not to stand to be an MP in the upcoming General Election.
The Brexit Party leader, who has lost in seven attempts to become an MP, has decided to concentrate on campaigning up and down the country instead of standing himself.
He believes this will allow his party to get more seats in total, but critics say it's because he "knows he would lose".
Nick Ferrari asked if he was running scared and Mr Farage responded: "What is the choice here? What is more important? Is it getting me into parliament or trying to get a significant number of Brexit Party MPs into parliament to hold the balance of power.
"Which of those two matters most for Brexit and the country? It has to be getting larger numbers elected."
Nick Ferrari challenged Nigel Farage over his decision not to stand. Picture: PA / LBC
Both The Sun and the Daily Mail have labelled Mr Farage 'frit', but the Brexiter responded: "I couldn't care less. This is all about the Conservative tribe cutting together.
"They want to do business as usual and I'm afraid it's just not good enough.
"If Boris Johnson had gone for a proper meaningful Brexit, then I would be right behind him. But he hasn't. He's picked up Mrs May's appalling surrender treaty, put a new wrapping on it and is now pretending to people that this is Brexit. This is not Brexit.
"It does not free us from the institutions of the European Union. What they are really scared of is that I'm going to have five weeks free to go around the country and explain this to people."

Police arrested a Mercer man on suspicion of drunken driving after his motorcycle crashed with another driver in Lincoln County.
Correction: An earlier version of this story misstated the nature of the collision. The story has been updated. USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin regrets the error.
TOMAHAWK - A 43-year-old Tomahawk man is in critical condition after his motorcycle crashed with a motorcycle police say was driven by a drunken driver.
A 63-year-old Mercer man, the driver of the other motorcycle, was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving after the crash early Saturday morning.
A Lincoln County Sheriff's deputy came across the crash early Saturday morning at County Road L and Theisen Road in the town of Bradley, north of Tomahawk, according to the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department.
Both riders were taken to Ascension Sacred Heart Hospital in Tomahawk. The Tomahawk man was then airlifted to the Marshfield Medical Center.
The Mercer man was taken into custody after being treated for his injuries.
Police on Sunday had not released the identities of those involved in the crash.


After being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at 26, French traveller Laura Pandolfi has created travel guides specifically designed for diabetics.
After her diagnosis, she couldn't find any quality information regarding travelling with the condition so she decided to create her own travel guides packed with local nutritional and medical information. Her aim is to make travelling, for people with Type 1 or 2 diabetes, a safe and healthy option.
In her first year, she has covered five destinations: Paris, The French Riviera, Lisbon, Mexico, and Cuba. The guides can be downloaded direct from her website.
Local food and nutrition: description of each regional dish, dessert, and drink with nutritional information on ingredients, advice, and a dictionary with phrases and vocabulary to help customise local food to personal needs.
Health-care system and emergency information: emergency phone numbers and addresses of medical facilities, hospitals, specialized doctors, laboratories and pharmacies. There's also terminology to help communicate with healthcare professionals for those not fluent in the local tongue.
Active Tourism: Suggestions of walking and biking tours in each destination.

Teaming Up to Serve
The Dominican Republic opened its doors and hearts to Starkey Hearing Foundation many years ago. Our country coordinators, Samantha and Antonio Canals, who have made it possible for us to expand our help for the people of this beautiful country.
In April, the team was able to join in helping more than 1,100 people in Santo Domingo and Santiago. We were able to embrace the culture, language, food and energy of the Dominican Republic spirit and share kindness to the world, one by one.
We were blessed to have Delta Zeta leadership and students join in the life-changing experience of doing a hearing mission, along with volunteers from SalesForce, Wichita University and several other friends of the Foundation. The conclusion for all involved was that helping others gave back more to the giver then to the receiver.
Yeilissa (8) and Yeremy (11) are being raised by their aunt Juanilda. The family lives about two and a half hours from Santiago in a city called San Francisco. They made the several hour trek in hopes that they could be fit with hearing aids. Both children are now able to hear and their aunt was so happy for them and for the gift that they've been given. She knows that they'll have a better future.
"As I reflect back on our time in the Dominican Republic with Starkey this past April, two things in particular tug at my heart. First, as a mom, watching many moms and dads bring their children to the mission with so much hope. It started off as a hesitant hope and then uncontrollable tears of joy and relief overpower them when they see their children's eyes brighten as they hear for the first time. A parent longs to give his or her child the best opportunities in life. To watch that hope transform to pure joy on a parent's face — that is a gift I will treasure.
I have found myself, as I share the experience with others, coming back to the fact that the answer is within reach! I was shocked at how quickly most of the people would hear. For most of the men, women and children, they did not need a highly powerful hearing aid. As a mom to a teen myself, my heart hurt to see many 13, 14, 15, and 16-year-old teens who had not heard since birth. Living a decade and a half in silence. Usually behind their peers. Not for lack of intellect, but for lack of being able to hear. It was frustrating! We can fix this! I'm so thankful Starkey is out there, traveling the world, bringing these teens into a world of sound through the gift of hearing. They are positively impacting a whole generation!"
— Delta Zeta Student, Stacey
University of South Carolina, Delta Zeta, Beta Delta Chapter
"I could've never imagined how smoothly this mission would go with almost 500 patients arriving on-site each day. From the 70-year-old woman who got ear infections from playing in the river as a child, to the 5-year-old who heard the laughter of others for the first time — each of their stories were truly unique. Nothing can replicate the immaculate joy you could see on each patient's face when they could hear again or were hearing for the very first time. During the mission, you are completely captivated by the people you are surrounded with — where they come from, what they value, and who they aspire to be; this includes patients, volunteers, and the Starkey team. I am blessed beyond measure to have experienced just a small fraction of what this foundation does to change these individuals' lives. Becoming a part of the Angel Team has changed my life too. Not only was I able to see how someone's life can be changed in a split second, but I also felt an outpouring of love like never before. Regardless of language barriers, everyone knows what pure love and joy looks, feels or even sounds like. To be a part of these loving and joyful moments is something I will cherish forever. Thank you to the Dominican Republic and Starkey Hearing Foundation for letting me be a part of your world, I am truly grateful for this unbelievable experience."

Hi! I'm Lindsey! I am a (very passionate) wedding photographer in Canfield, Ohio happily serving Youngstown, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and beyond. And when I say beyond I mean it! I love to travel and have shot weddings and engagement sessions all over the US, including San Diego, San Fransisco, Dallas, Las Vegas, Seattle, Florida, New York, and most recently Hawaii!! Wedding Photography is my full-time job and all I want to do in life is take pretty pictures of people in love.
I have serious wanderlust and a BAD case of the #Swifties. I love to travel, I love to take pictures, I love my dogs Pedal & Enzo, I love to read and listen to Audio books, I love Grey's Anatomy and I especially love Taylor Swift. And TWINKLE LIGHTS. And honestly, probably everything else on a list of "things basic girls love". If you enjoy any of these things I'll love you, too.


The Kumana National Park, previously known until 2006 as Yala East National Park, has its entrance located approximately 30km south of Arugam Bay, at Okanda.
It is normal to hire a 4×4 in Arugam Bay for up to 6 people (the more people you can find the cheaper it is). Try Sri Lanka Safari Share on Facebook to search for other people to share the trip. The jeep hire should cost about 8000LKR with driver.
There is a chance to see an abundance of different animals both enroute and in the park. The majority of visitors have most success during the early morning safari.
Be warned that it is tiring and many people do not realise how uncomfortable it can be sitting in this type of jeep for up to 6 hours over very bumpy terrain in 35 degree heat.
Don't forget to take plenty of water and, if possible, clothes that offer a barrier to the sun as the jeep is open sided and the sun angle is low during the safari times.
Also ask around for the latest prices as they vary a lot, and ensure whether it includes the park entrance fee which is currently $15 per adult. Some guides are better than others and a few do not even speak English so this is also worth checking! You can get a quote from multiple guides on our other site srilankasafariguide.com.

You may want to distribute a section of a teaaser as a PDF file by e-mail or post it on your website and other related websites. "If the individual uses it, you get their interest and can say: "My novel "Old Friends" is written in this area and is about two boyfriends who 15 years later re-discover their relationship.
" You can find many publishing websites that can help you design and advertise your book from start to finish. The messages are often slow in summers, so they can be used to your benefit. As a matter of fact, in many ways it is much more difficult because you need to be your own journalist, your own journalist, your own covers designers, etc..
Because of possible complication with print privileges, conventional publishing houses will often not consider a self-published book. When you use a vanity compactor you can close the doors to getting your book released by a large mailing list. And if you're interested, you need to study your book. They will prioritise your inquiry with many others.

In the past two weeks, I had two meetings over Skype with my mentor Sergei Gleyzer. One was personal meet and other was a general meeting of all TMVA developers. The one to one personal meet was a short Skype call on 19th May. We discussed about the work done and the first task I'd be focussing on. On 27th May, we had our first kickoff session to mark the beginning of Google Summer of Code program and getting introduced to fellow TMVA developers and mentors. We explained our projects in short and reported our progress in the past weeks. It lasted for about 45 minutes and it was very motivational for me. All the mentors are really cool and positive. We'd be having such general meetings once or twice a month.

The Ontario 2010 budget, released on March 25th, confirms that the McGuinty government's "poverty reduction" efforts are all pretense. Poor and working people are being forced to pay for the economic crisis. New cuts to social assistance are the most devastating since Mike Harris slashed welfare rates in 1995.

Albert Lee Tucker, was an Australian artist, and member of the Heide Circle, a group of modernist artists and writers that centred on the art patrons John and Sunday Reed, whose home, "Heide", located in Bulleen, near Heidelberg (outside Melbourne), was a haven for the group.
Jan Matulka was a Czech-American modern artist originally from Bohemia. Matulka's style ranged from Abstract Expressionism to landscapes, sometimes in the same day. Matulka was born on 7 November 1890 in Vlachovo Březí, Bohemia, then part of Austria–Hungary and now part of Czech Republic. In 1907 Jan, his parents Maria and John, and his five younger sisters moved to The Bronx. Soon after John separated from Jan's mother and left the family alone and with little money.
Lenore Krassner, known professionally as Lee Krasner, was an influential American abstract expressionist painter in the second half of the 20th century. She is one of the few female artists to have had a retrospective show at the Museum of Modern Art.

Facts of Canada
Eastern provinces of Canada
Western provinces of Canada
Southeastern Canada
Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Yukon Territory
The mountains of the west coast, incorporating British Columbia and the Yukon Territory, descend into the vast, flat prairies of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. The empty lands and fertile soils of the prairie provinces attracted migrants, and the descendants of early European immigrants still make up a large proportion of the population. The mechanization of agriculture has reduced the need for labor, and rural population densities remain low.
The majority of the people live within 100 miles (160 km) of the southern Canada–US border, and in British Columbia, one of the leading Canadian provinces in terms of economic wealth.
The Yukon Territory, in the far north, remains a relatively unspoiled wilderness, containing large, untapped mineral reserves. This province has a significant population of Native American people, many of whom maintain a traditional lifestyle.
The landscape of the western Canadian provinces
The massive Rocky Mountains form a continental divide between rivers flowing eastward and westward. The interior plains lie east of the mountains, stretching from the Arctic Circle south into the US. Covered with glacial deposits from the last Ice Age, these interspersed with hilly regions and long, steep escarpments.
Interesting facts of the western Canadian provinces
Mount Logan rises 19,551 ft (5959 m). It is the highest peak in Canada.
The Columbia Icefield in the Rocky Mountains is the source of two major rivers, the Athabasca and the North Saskatchewan.
The badlands of Alberta were created when east-flowing rivers, swollen by meltwater at the end of the last Ice Age, cut deep, vast canyons producing eroded, barren landscapes.
Braided rivers are shallow and fast-flowing. The interlaced branches formed when excess sediments, which can no longer be transported, are deposited. The sediments collect in the river channel forming bars and sand flats. Islands form when the bars are colonized by vegetation.
The Rocky Mountain Trench is the longest linear fault in the world. It has formed a straight, flat-bottomed valley between 2–9 miles (4–15 km) wide and up to 3280 ft (1000 m) deep.
Hundreds of islands dot the fjord-indented coast of British Columbia; the largest is Vancouver Island.
Three significant passes cut through the Rocky Mountains: Yellowhead, Kicking Horse, and Crowsnest. They are all used as transportation routes through the mountains.
The Cypress Hills rise to 4806 ft (1465 m) above the surrounding plain. Having escaped the last glaciation, they contain unique plant and animal life. The silvery lupine, bunchberry, and lodgepole pine all grow in the cool, moist climate of the hills.
The Alberta and Saskatchewan plains bear strong testament to past glaciations. The Assiniboine, Saskatchewan, and Qu'Appelle rivers occupy flat-bottomed, steep-sided valleys eroded during the last Ice Age by glacial meltwater.
The lowlands of Manitoba are a basin that once held the vast post-glacial Lake Agassiz, remnants of which include Lake Winnipeg, Lake Winnipegosis, and Lake Manitoba.
The Nelson and Churchill rivers drain northward across the Canadian Shield to Hudson Bay. The shield covers three-fifths of Saskatchewan.
Transportation & industry in the western Canadian provinces
The western provinces contain a wealth of mineral resources. Alberta holds the bulk of Canada's fossil fuels; the other provinces contain reserves of metallic ores, such as zinc, lead, and silver. Isolation from markets has slowed the development of manufacturing, restricting it to large cities like Vancouver, Winnipeg, and Calgary. Hydroelectric power is widely exploited, although there is increasing concern about potential ecological damage.
Using the land & sea in the western Canadian provinces
Wheat farming is the economic mainstay of Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan, which contain 82% of farmland in Canada. Cattle also raised on the prairies. Forestry and fishing are the most prominent resource-based industries in British Columbia. Despite the mountainous terrain, fruit and specialized grains can grow in the Okanagan and Fraser valleys.

US Withdraws from Climate Change Agreement and Africa Pays the Prize.
Emit Less, Suffer Most from Climate Change!
If the US withdrawal from what seems to be the greatest historic accord on climate change, has been condemned by several statesmen, it is definitely because they recognize the world power's role in solving international perils and calamities.
President Trump's withdrawal from the 195-state Paris climate agreement puts Africa at great risks considering the far-reaching impact harmful greenhouse gases have on the continent. Unlike any other area in the world, Africa is going to be the most hit by this US action.
Africa on a global scale accounts for a trivial amount of greenhouse gas emissions (3.8%) yet the continent is most vulnerable to the overwhelming effects of global warming as against 23%, 19% and 13% by China, US, and the European Union, respectively. The irony here is, countries that contribute least to climate change by emitting very insignificant amounts of these harmful gases tend to be more vulnerable to its impacts and vice versa.
Maroua (Cameroon): Located in the far northern region of Cameroon, Maroua probably would suffer enormously from climate change considering its dry nature. During the dry season, the area experiences extreme temperatures, hot and cold, just enough to cause sunburns and frozen skin in early mornings.
Like other African countries, Cameroon may be impacted more significantly by the effects of climate change with reason being that the country is highly dependent on agriculture which in turn, depends on climate as well as having annual temperatures confined to a small range which makes it difficult for biological systems to easily adapt to changes that modify the range.
Lagos (Nigeria): Africa's most populous city is home to some 21 million inhabitants most of whom live on waterside slums with no proper drainage systems which put their lives at risk in the event of heavy downpours and rising sea levels makes them vulnerable to floods.
Durban/Cape Town (South Africa): Rising sea levels, increasing urbanization, and loss and extinction of important biodiversity, coastal sand movement, underline the dangers of climate change to these tourist destinations. For instance, Cape Town was declared a disaster area in early March after officials noted the area was under severe drought attack. Wildfires are also very common in South Africa as a result of the fast encroachment of drought into some of its cities.
Dar es Salaam (Tanzania): According to the World Bank, Tanzania is the most affected-flood country in East Africa. The country's coastal and largest city, Dar es Salaam is characterized by a flat topography which makes it vulnerable to floods. News.xinhuanet.com reported that the country experienced heavy downpours in May that wrecked critical infrastructure, rice farms and led to the closure of schools in the area.
Abidjan (Côte D'Ivoire): With its location on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, the country's commercial capital stands at risk of being flooded in the long run while the city is continuously experiencing high rates of erosion of the Abidjan harbor.
Researchers have found that climate change could make sections of North Africa so warm as to become uninhabitable in the future. Major North African coastal cities like Alexandria, Casablanca, Tripoli and Tunis are all vulnerable to long-term impacts of climate change.
Pulling out from the 195-nation Paris club deal, Trump claims honoring the terms of the deal would cost the US billions of dollars for a minute reduction in global warming, by producing a mere 0.2 C reduction in global temperatures by the year 2100. Experts, however, disagree with this fact arguing that the US withdrawal risks adding another 0.3 C. This singular US action is more likely in a few weeks or months to have a spillover effect by spurring other high fossil-fuel polluters to follow suit.
For many Americans, this could just be another self-inflicted wound because the vast majority of Americans desire to remain in the accord, including many of Trump's supporters. According to a 2016 survey conducted just after the 2016 US Presidential elections, 69% of registered voters agreed that the United States should participate in the Paris agreement, including 86% of Democrats, 61% of Independents and 51% of Republicans.
Abandoning the US seat at the Paris climate table means the United States can no longer negotiate climate policies that advance American interests. The American civil society argues that this action puts the American people at extensive risks: their health, security, food supply, jobs, and future remain threatened.
Prior to how the American populace have reacted to Trump's previous decisions, it very likely that Americans may invest more in private companies and NGOs running environmental projects so as not to be left out of the global fight against climate change.
The American tech community isn't taking this lightly either. Google, Facebook and Microsoft CEOs; Sundar Pichai, Mark Zuckerberg, and Satya Nadella, respectively, all said on June 1 that they remain committed to the environment and clean energy initiatives in the face of Trump's decision to withdraw the US from the Paris accord.
The trio is among the tech world's most powerful voices and their decisions and views on political issues, are always considered paramount. To this effect, SpaceX and Telsa CEO, Elon Musk also announced he'll be stepping down from Trump's economic advisory council over this decision.
Building the necessary infrastructure for generating alternative sources of energy (wind turbines and solar systems for generating clean and renewable energy) is a possible way out. This will enable African countries to have access to reliable electricity without increasing emissions of heat-trapping gases.
Practicing tree planting exercises as a way of reducing the presence of these gases in the atmosphere, are just some of the ways African governments can protect themselves from environmental climate change effects with America having backed out from the deal.
African governments may, in the long run, rely heavily on environmental funding schemes from environmental NGOs like the Environmental Foundation for Africa (EFA) and the Environmental Funders Network (EFN) as well as spend a huge part of their income on curbing climate change (tree planting and other operations).
Meanwhile, Cameroonian NGOs like the Environment and Rural Development Foundation (ERuDeF), Cameroon Environmental Watch, Green Cameroon Environmental Protection, should look forward to receiving funding from foreign bodies and government. Paris is only the beginning of a race towards a low-gas infused world, which leaves much still to be done to attain an absolute zero-carbon planet.

Home Film FILM- Operation Finale
"Welcome to Katz Reviews. This is Ed Katz of Katnip Marketing- marketing consultant by day; theater and film critic by night- bringing my weekly review segment, Katz Reviews, here for you on WICC 600.
http://katzreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/KatzReview_OperationFinale_for9-18-18.mp3
When a movie tells you it is "Based on a True Story" that can make it a challenge for the filmmakers to make it suspenseful if everyone already knows how it ends. Well, there is no spoiler alert needed here- this is the story about Israel's National Intelligence Agency, Mossad, capturing Nazi SS officer Adolf Eichmann, who had been living under an alias in Argentina.
Oscar Isaac; Variety
In 'Operation Finale,' the new film based on this story, Oscar Isaac (known most recently for playing Poe in the 'Star Wars' saga) here plays Peter Malkin, tasked as the Israeli Mossad team member who plans the capture and extraction of Eichmann from Argentina.
Ironically, the film glosses over that Eichmann was able to get into Argentina through the help of an Austrian Bishop, a Nazi sympathizer, who was able to secure him a Red Cross humanitarian passport under a pseudonym. And the film also ignores how, after Eichmann's capture, Argentina- who had housed this Nazi fugitive for a decade- complained to the U.N. that Israel violated their sovereign rights by capturing him on their soil.
Ben Kingsley as Eichmann in WWII; CC2K
Instead, the film focuses on showing Eichmann as a complex individual. As played by the always brilliant Ben Kingsley, we see him as a harsh but caring family man with his wife and children and, ironically, it is a scene in which his son takes his date to an anti-Semitic rally that helps give Eichmann away.
Once Eichmann is captured, the Mossad team is forced to keep him in a safe house for over a week until they are able to sneak him on an airplane to take him to Israel. During that time, Malkin interrogates him, trying to get him to admit his involvement in the planning of the extermination of Jews and, for a while, all Eichmann does is dispassionately say he was a soldier just following orders.
Ben Kingsley as Eichmann in Argentina; Pulsd
He even displays some compassion for the plight of Malkin's sister- almost seducing Malkin into having sympathy for him- until he suddenly uses that information to attack and goad Malkin, revealing his true colors.
Written by Matthew Orton and directed by Chris Weitz in a straight forward manner with a few flashbacks and daydream sequences, 'Operation Finale' is a great story told pretty well. The big suspense scenes take place when the Mossad team captures Eichmann getting off a bus near his home, when their safe house is about to be raided and when there are complications getting Eichmann onto the plane and out of Argentina.
And the story is compelling, it just doesn't move as well as it could on screen in some places. But don't let that stop you from going as it is fascinating and thought-provoking.
l to r: Melanie Laurent, Oscar Isaac, Nick Kroll; IndieWire
Isaac is good as the eager Malkin and there are several talented supporting actors of note here, too: Lior Raz, Melanie Laurent and Nick Kroll, as Mossad team members, as well as Peter Strauss and Haley Lu Richardson as the father and daughter who help lead the Mossad to Eichmann.
But the star here is clearly Ben Kingsley and his stunning portrayal of Eichmann, which is likely to earn him his fifth Academy Award nomination. Overall, this is a good, solid historical drama and I give 'Operation Finale' 3-1/2 stars out of 5.

Kain attempts to justify his claims regarding the "ideal model of libertarianism" with an appeal to Michael Lind's article. But this absolutely misses the boat. Why? Because libertarianism is not the only political philosophy that scoffs at a presumption of Democracy. There are plenty others. For example, liberalism.
To clearly see this, we should understand that a "presumption of democracy" holds that voting is the only means of legitimate collective action, and this legitimacy is sanctioned by a 50.01% majority and above. I seriously doubt that Kain, or anyone else–other than rabid communitarians–actually holds to such a presumption. So, what we end up, in terms of an actual presumption, is democracy decorated with an adjective; for example, "liberal democracy." And what we really mean by "democracy with adjectives" is a preference regarding constraints on simple majority rule.
Now we should begin to see, once the terms of the argument are properly defined, how Kain's presumption claim begins to unravel. The accusation vis a vis democracy against the likes of Mises and Hayek can be levied against anyone. H&M are simply guilty of preferring liberal outcomes and liberal constraints over a non-liberal outcome sanctioned by voting, or a "presumption of democracy(that is, they rejected democracy sans liberalism)." It's a simple as that. Liberalism, whether enlightenment(classical) or modern, does not subjugate principles of liberty or equality to a "presumption of democracy." That is to say, they aren't up for a vote. This admission, which should be admitted by anyone who claims the label of liberal(and really, it's an admission that can be generalized to anyone who ascribes to a "democracy with adjectives" constraint on the presumption of democracy), is not equivalent, however, to the necessity of eliminating voting as an instrument of collective action. Indeed, I could argue that any insistence of banishing democratic collective action would almost certainly violate the libertarian principle and that it cannot be shown that such a ban is either a sufficient or necessary condition for a libertarian outcome.
Kain is guilty of a logical fallacy but attempts to correct himself with this follow-up post, Liberty & Democracy, that drops the simple presumption of democracy for one decorated by an adjective, in particular, "liberal." So the discussion properly shifts to one of liberal preferential constraints on simple majority rule.
It is at this point that the libertarian political critique becomes germane. A libertarian argument against a "presumption of democracy" is a trivial one. The meat of the libertarian political critique is it's attack on the "presumption of liberal democracy." It's essential summary: much of the State's actions are not rooted in consent. Liberal constraints fail to constrain the State's actions. Democracy is not a means to constrain or ensure accountability against a monopoly moral claim on the legitimate use of force.
The essential summary can be best rolled up under the banner of "libertarian class theory." E.D. Kain is, I'm sure, familiar with this critique, but he dismisses it, or at least dismisses it as a fatal blow against the "presumption of liberal democracy," largely on the premise that all "social arrangements are coercive." Another way to state the premise is that "coercive force" is a natural monopoly. This premise is a familiar claim and is often used to blunt the libertarian political critique with the charge that libertarian social arrangements would be rooted in coercion as well.
For example, consider a workplace democracy scenario(Scenario #1) where workers vote on an increase in income flows to go toward immediate increased salary compensation or a deferred benefit retirement plan. If one's preferred choice loses out in the vote, is that person then a victim of coercion? Consider, of course, that the increased income flows may be a consequence of increased labor hours.
The answer would generally be no, if we assume that the worker is better off in the workplace bargain than without it. Agents do not enter into contracts or bargains as means to satisfy a mathematical min behavioral constraint on coercion–indeed, if humans were coercion "minimizers," they would never enter any contracts or bargains. In short, there would be no society, no cooperation.
Humans cooperate and enter into contracts because it increases their welfare. The act of cooperation creates surplus. Bargaining theory deals with how humans will rationally bargain the distribution of such a surplus. One obvious constraint is that if an agent is made worse off in a bargain, it shouldn't agree to the bargain.
If we consider say another democratic scenario(Scenario #2) where a geographical group of voters vote to impose a protectionist requirement, or barrier of entry, for our agent to make a workplace bargain, then it should be obvious that this agent is made worse off by this type of bargain, and it should reject it.
The distinction between #1 and #2 isn't best illuminated by an analysis of coercion, but rather by an analysis of the Lockean proviso constraint. With #1, we have a collective body that has to bear the responsibility of it's agreements and operates under a bargaining constraint. #2 gives us a collective body that does not have to bear the responsibility of it's actions and is incentivized to maximize artificial surplus, under no bargaining constraint, while dispersing the costs to others.
#1 is an example of a collective action that does not violate libertarian constraints while #2 is an example of one that does. #2 is often dressed up in the language of the "Social Contract," but it is evident that #2 can be a bad bargain for some(or many, or even most), so the presumption of something like the Social Contract, from a LP perspective, is not warranted.
An easily anticipated counter-argument is the appeal to a greater context that the State operates in, particular with respect to it's other actions that may be said to create "positive externalities" which would offset the "bad bargain." But this is actually a utilitarian appeal; in no way does a school or a road offset the bad bargain for those rotting in a cage because of protectionist laws. Indeed, tax-subsidized roads, for example, can be a bad bargain for mom-pop businesses that cannot compete against subsidized economies of scale.
The obvious empirical problem for a welfare defense of a the social contract presumption is what need does a utilitarian welfare state, one that is on the business of manufacturing positive externalities, have with things like the secret police? Why has the utilitarian liberal welfare state seen the need to overtly eviscerate it's legal foundation of the Great Writ? These aren't the actions of a liberal state ; rather they are the actions of an Actor that views the presumption of the social contract as a thing to be enforced, not as something rooted in consent.
Coercion as the foundational tool of social analysis is useless. Human social interaction is not explained by a coercion max/min problem. Indeed, if humans were coercion minimizers, they would never socially interact. We would all be Robinson Crusoes.
Instead, human social interaction, in a world of scarcity, is best explained by the fact that human cooperation creates "surplus." The libertarian principle is a boundary constraint on this human cooperation, namely that any given rational agent benefits from the cooperative equilibrium relative to the defection state1.
Since it can be demonstrated that there are examples of social interactions of "constrained maximizers" vs those that incentivize unconstrained maximization, there is no real basis for the presumption of the Social Contract.
Further, E.D. Kain's social contract presumption suffers from the empirical fact that the presumption of the State, the National Security State, is that it's citizens do not abide by the presumption of the social contract. That's why you have a National Security State and a secret police. The ballot box is not a means to legitimacy when there is none to be had.

Q: Auto sync libraries referred by the Network users in Maven I have a Private Maven repository. I am looking for some solution to achieve the following.
1. All the users in the network (or Domain) should first check whether the dependanciy looking for is available in private repo. If yes download to local using the private repo. If not, download the dependancies from central repo, while syncing the same with the Private Repo

*An Automated way to re-arrange the dependancies to the latest version as long as there are not conflicts or errors occuring, so that there will be a minimal versions of the same libraries maintained in private and local repositories.

A: Your first point is covered by Repository Managers as Nexus or Artifactory (as khmarbaise already said).
The second point is a bit vague to be answered, but in general, there is no automated mechanism to find out the "right" version of a dependency to work with your project(s), but there are Maven goals to update your dependencies to the lastest ones.

Bounty! Greenpoint bizman offers reward for graffiti vandal's capture

This bounty is no BS.
A Greenpoint businessman is offering a $5,000 reward for any information leading to the capture of a graffiti artist who has tagged his buildings with the letters "B" and "S."
"They're all over the place," said Broadway Stages owner Tony Argento. "This guy is getting bolder and bolder."
Argento noticed the tags nine months ago on his warehouses on Norman Avenue, Moultire Street, Humboldt Street and Franklin Street, where television shows such as "The Good Wife" and "Blue Bloods" are filmed.
One of Argento's tenants said he saw the painter spraying his one-liner on Franklin Street at 7:30 pm two weeks ago. The tenant, Joe Grant of Brooklyn Studios, described the artist as a "slim" 6-foot Caucasian man in his early 20s.
"I didn't see his face because he had a hood on," said Grant. "I just saw that incident that one day where the guy was using spray paint and then he walked away. It's his stain, or whatever."
Graffiti artists have been bombing Greenpoint's buildings for decades. But the "BS" moniker, which appears in doorways, on brick walls, and other structures noticeable from street level, has proliferated quickly — and earned some respect from a fellow tagger.
"He is doing a great job of doing what graffiti artists do — destroying property," said Greenpoint artist NohJColey. "The majority of 'graff' writers don't want a show in a gallery or even money for their efforts in the public space."
But unsolicited public art comes with a risk — jail time.
Police have arrested 75 art vandals in Greenpoint and 89 taggers in Williamsburg so far this year, which account for over one-fifth of Brooklyn's total graffiti arrests this year.
Deputy Inspector Terence Hurson of the 94th Precinct, which covers Greenpoint and the Northside of Williamsburg, said police are looking for multiple suspects.
"It's a whole team of people who write their initials within the 'BS,' " said Hurson. "I saw it twice on the way back from a meeting today. Once you start looking for it, you notice it everywhere."
For info about the bounty, contact Broadway Stages at (718) 349-9146.
A graffiti artist has been tagging scores of Greenpoint buildings over the past nine months — and now there's a $5,000 reward to catch him.

H&F Tories: Still Bitter After Seven Months
Hammersmith and Fulham's Tories are still crying over their defeat seven months after May's local elections. The Cat has noticed that, with little to complain about, they've resorted to accusing the Labour administration of not doing enough about litter on the borough's streets.
I stumbled across the rather neutral-sounding Hammersmith and Fulham Forum the other day and wasn't surprised to discover it was run by the local Tories. This blog claims:
Many residents have noticed how the streets are less clean in Hammersmith and Fulham since Labour took control in May.
"Many"? How many, exactly? It doesn't say. If H&F Tories are complaining that the new Labour administration isn't taking litter seriously, may I remind them that they didn't do much with regards to litter either – in spite of their claims to the contrary. On many occasions I saw lots of litter blowing about on Queen Caroline Street as well as dumped rubbish on Fulham Palace Road while they were in power. It seems to me that these Tories haven't really got much to complain about and are looking for any excuse, no matter how feeble, to ingratiate themselves to the borough's residents, most of whom voted them out. Here's another Phibbs special titled "Devenport Road under Socialism". "Socialism"? Really? You're taking the piss, pal.
I used to live in Devonport Road, in Shepherd's Bush, and one of the motivations I had for standing for the council in 2006 was the filthy state of the streets when Labour were running the council.
I thought you were motivated by power and prestige, so don't try and fool us, Phoghorn.
The hard won improvements during the eight years that the Conservatives did not come about by accident. Nor did they involve increased spending.
Hilarious.
The Conservatives may be in opposition but we will not be passive. We are planning a programme of "Grotspotting" throughout the borough to demand that Serco honour their contract. Councillors will be encouraging those involved in residents associations and "community activists" to help with this task.
You're kidding me. This is all you have? Christ, these people are desperate. Phoghorn has even coined a stupid wee word too. "Grotspotting". It's all about the message and cute soundbites. As for real ideas, you won't get those from a bunch of no mark, chinless wonders who regard council flats as "vertical slums".
In another blog, which begs the question "Is the council consulting you on planning applications", they claim… well, Phoghorn Phibbs claims:
If we are to have new buildings in our borough that make it more beautiful rather than more ugly then it is important for as many residents as possible to make their views known.
Is that why your party approved the Fulham Reach development? Is this why your party wanted to build skyscrapers all over the borough and destroy a third of Furnival Gardens to build a bridge from the Town Hall to the Thames? The Phoghorn conveniently forgets how his party rode roughshod over residents' concerns when they approved the building of luxury apartment blocks around Hammersmith and sold off council properties to their developer chums. Yet here's Phoghorn telling us that the council should consult residents over planning applications. The powerful stench of hypocrisy emanates from his every word.
By the way, H&F Tories are still claiming that A&E services will remain at Charing Cross Hospital in spite of the fact that Imperial NHS Trust intends to demolish the hospital and sell off the site to developers.
Meanwhile, former councillor Andrew Johnson tweeted:
Andrew Johnson@andyj1979
Labour's housing proposals represent a grave threat to future of council housing in H&F Stock transfer not the answer, improved service is.
Again,more hypocrisy. The Tories wanted to sell off the council's housing stock and pursued the disastrous Right To Buy policies that created the housing crisis in the first place.
Tories: they can't even lie in bed straight.

They are coming out with some dreadful bollocks at the moment. This, from Andrew Johnson:

"Labour's housing proposals represent a grave threat to future of council housing in H&F Stock transfer not the answer, improved service is"
How they say this shit with a straight face is beyond me.
Other litle nuggest of gold here:
Govt figures confirm that following our reforms I left LBHF with the lowest number of households in London on the housing register at 433.
When I left office H&F had some of the lowest council rents in London & a clear housing investment plan in place. All under threat by Labour
Phibb's "Hammersmith Forum" is probably the most laughable of the lot. 'Holding the council to account' indeed. Weren't so keen on such scrutiny when in office were you, Harry?
Thanks for those links. They'll go into the dossier. The Tories didn't care much for council tenants and here's Johnson pretending to be their champion.

2012: The end of the world?
N.B.2020-04-24T15:07:28-07:00Categories: Acharya S/D.M. Murdock|
Here's a short-but-sweet factual description of what the date December 21, 2012 truly represents, composed by noted archaeologist Dr. Ken Feder. In a nutshell, that date simply represents the end of a cycle or series of cycles called baktuns, as related by Feder in an article for the Chicago Tribune entitled, "'2012': Maya Calandar Misconception Results In Only A Hollywood Ending":
The Maya people of Guatemala, Mexico, Belize and Honduras produced a remarkable native American civilization that peaked around 700 A.D., replete with great cities, imposing pyramids and a sophisticated series of calendars.
Like ours, the Maya calendar had days, months (of 20 days each) and years (made up of 18 Maya months of 20 days and one of five, adding up to 365 days). And, just as we recognize longer time periods (10 years for a decade, 100 years for a century, and 1000 years for a millennium) the Maya did, too.
With their base-20 number system, the Maya had periods of 20 years (they called them katuns) and periods of about 400 years (a Maya baktun). Now, here's where the confusion comes into play. While our calendar is linear, with the year numbers getting ever bigger as time proceeds, the Maya measured time as cyclical. For them, after 13 baktuns, (the Maya believed the current cycle began about 5,125 years ago) the calendar simply goes back to zero and — this is the important part — it starts all over again. Just as a year ends on Dec. 31 and a new year starts again at the beginning, Jan. 1, the Maya believed the same was true for periods of time longer than a year.
No muss, no fuss, and no apocalyptic conflagrations.
The professor goes on to say:
The Maya never said that all of time or the Earth or life on the planet will end after the 13th baktun.
That day will arrive Dec. 21, 2012, on our calendar. The only thing that is supposed to happen that day is that time's odometer rolls over, back to zero. So much for Hollywood endings.
Now, I wish I could tell you that the Maya never predicted the end of everything, but that would be giving you a false sense of security. In fact, on a monument located at the Maya site of Coba, in Mexico, there is a Mayan date which marks the day they believed the end of the Earth would come.
That predicted date is quite a bit further out than Dec. 21, 2012. It's actually 41,341,050,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years in the future, which is about 32 billion times longer than the universe has existed. That would be cumbersome on a movie marque, but, it's pretty good news.
Yes, it would be wonderful news if we could count on surviving as a species until that far into the future – but the odds are not in our favor. In the meantime, it is evident that the Maya did not predict the "end of the world," but is it not true that the Maya scattered to the winds when one of the baktuns ended, apparently the real reason behind them abandoning their cities periodically?

California Government: "Potential Violations" Still Remain in Cathy Miller's Case
Despite Court Defeat, State Officials Still Seek to Investigate Cathy Miller
The Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund (FCDF) responded yesterday to state officials' claim that it must continue investigating Christian baker Cathy Miller, who was prosecuted for declining to create a custom wedding cake for a same-sex couple, despite suffering a resounding court loss. In response to the government's "witch hunt," FCDF has asked the court to enforce the March 2018 judgment that was issued in Cathy's favor.
Officials for the California Dept. of Fair Employment & Housing (DFEH) filed a motion in state court in January demanding a court order that would force Cathy to either create wedding cakes for everyone or stop creating all wedding cakes. The DFEH submitted the motion after a same-sex couple filed a complaint stating that Cathy discriminated against them when she declined to create a custom wedding cake for their same-sex marriage celebration. Superior Court Judge David Lampe denied the government's motion, holding that forcing Cathy to engage in expressive speech that conflicts with her conscience "would do violence" to the First Amendment.
The case is closed. But like the Colorado government's vendetta against Jack Phillips, California's pro-LGBT bureaucrats can't accept that the First Amendment protects Cathy's right to live and work according to her faith.
Daniel Piedra, FCDF's executive director
Government lawyers with the DFEH initially appealed the decision, but they quickly withdrew it and instead relaunched their original prosecution of Cathy under California's anti-discrimination law. In its opposition brief filed last week, the DFEH claims it still has the authority to investigate Cathy regardless of the Court's ruling. The DFEH wants to interrogate Cathy, her husband, and an employee and get sworn testimonies from them.
According to FCDF's reply brief in support of its motion to enforce the judgment:
Bigots may hold up people of faith as anti-LGBT boogeymen, but anybody with any common-sense experience with people of faith knows that they are sincere, moral, and compassionate. The DFEH sought to persecute Cathy Miller and her family. It failed, and now is trying again. This Court should put an end to this witch-hunt.
