When I first moved to Lafayette, I wondered how I was ever going to furnish our new home. Back then, old was in and many homes were filled with antiques or family pieces that had been handed down for generations.
Coming from an older part of New Orleans, I definitely was into antiques. But the question was, where do you find such items?
We scoured antiques shops from Lafayette to Washington, Louisiana, looking for things we could use in our home, at a reasonable price.
Today, antiques are not in near as much demand. So while finding the exact pieces you want may be a challenge, the good news is, the prices have gotten much better.
Padgett said Le Cadeau is made up of several vendors who sell everything form primitive furniture to antique decoy ducks. She said most people who visit her shop are looking for vintage kitchen items, sterling and old jewelry.
Gerrie Autry and Bruce Broussard of Lafayette Antiques said many customers are looking for high-end European antiques, as well as country and primitive furniture. A lot of what people want depends on the season, however.
Mary Marceau has been a longtime customer at Lafayette Antiques. Marceau was shopping for an antique bracelet for a new baby gift and stopped in to see what she could find.
Whether you are looking for high-end, low-end or something in between, here are a few spots we found that make antiquing in Acadiana well worth a weekend outing or two.
What you'll find: High-end period furniture; large collection of French, primitive and old English commodes, trunks hutches and dining tables and chairs. They have an extensive inventory of fine sterling silver dinnerware, candle holders and serving pieces, as well as vintage fur coats and stoles. Prices range from moderate to expensive.
Treasure tip: We found two fur stoles and one mink jacket, perfect for wearing with Mardi Gras gowns or formal attire, all for under $100.
What you'll find: Large collection of vintage kitchen items, art work, locally made jewelry, vintage tableware, dishes and glassware. They have some sterling pieces and primitive furniture, along with antique duck decoys and more. All price ranges, most in the inexpensive category.
Treasure Tip: We found several antique sterling silver pieces that would cost hundreds in a department store all for under $100. Perfect for bridal or Christmas gifts.
What you'll find: They specialize in quality antique furniture, linens, silver and silver plate, as well as vintage and estate jewelry, kitchenware, elegant glassware, china, depression and carnival glass, art potter and Victorian clothes and accessories. They also carry religious artifacts, paintings and garden items.
Treasure Tip: We found several antique sick call boxes all for under $300. The boxes, some more than 100 years old, were used by priests to carry the host, holy water and other things needed to administer communion to the sick and homebound.
What you'll find: A large collection of vintage and re-purposed furniture and accessories, costume jewelry and a variety of tables and chairs. The shop has everything from high-end antique furniture, to fun and funky items, to modern furniture that is used but in great condition. Also carries the Maison Blanche chalk paint line. There are more than 30 vendors with more than 7000 square feet of merchandise.
Treasure Tip: We found hard-to-find bar-height stools in a great neutral color all for just $85 each.
What you'll find: Revival Antiques is in a historic building in downtown Scott. There is more than 4,000 square feet of high quality English, Belgian, French and European Antiques and home furnishings. There are also gifts, lamps, artwork, and home decor. They have a beautiful collection of antique mirrors in all price ranges, a large of selection Persian rugs at very reasonable prices, some for much less than you could find in stores.
Treasure Tip: We found a French Belle Époque style antique gilt mirror that measures 34 inches wide by 51 inches tall, circa 1890, for just $779. Also found an awesome Louis XV parlor mirror from France, circa 1880, heirloom quality, for $2,400.

Q: After styling TableView Scroll i get a warning in QML I'm styling the handler in a TableView Component using the following code:
TableView {
    style: ScrollViewStyle{
        handle: Rectangle {
            implicitWidth: globals.scrollBar.handlerWidth
            implicitHeight: globals.scrollBar.handlerWidth
            color:  globals.scrollBar.handlerColor
        }
    }
}

The properties are:
property var scrollBar: QtObject {
    property int handlerWidth: 14
    property color handlerColor: "#6b6b6b"
}

I tried switching int and color to var but i still have the same problem.
Globals are defined on main, like this:
Globals {
    id: globals
}

Now i'm getting a lot of warnings in QT
file:///C:/Qt/5.11.1/mingw53_32/qml/QtQuick/Controls/Private/BasicTableView.qml:393:48: Unable to assign [undefined] to bool

              elide: Text.ElideRight
            }
        }
    }
}

Maybe the error/warning is related to imcompatibly imports?

A: If you use TableView then you must use TableViewStyle instead of ScrollViewStyle. and you can continue using the same properties since TableViewStyle inherits from ScrollViewStyle:
style: TableViewStyle{
    handle: Rectangle {
        implicitWidth: 15
        implicitHeight: 15
        color:  "#000000"
    }
    minimumHandleLength: 30
}

Remove the following line of code since background expects a Component, but it is also unnecessary since TableView will occupy the entire Page:
background: { color:"black" }

Q: Date comparison failing I am trying to compare two date objects when deciding whether to enter a while loop.
I have set a breakpoint and printed both values to the console and they are identical - the while loop is bypassed however.
while currentTime + intervalTime <= endTime { }

currentTime is a Date object, as is endTime. intervalTime is a TimeInterval. When I used the breakpoint and printed to the console I got the following result. This look like they should be equal but, as I say, the while loop is bypassed.
(lldb) print currentTime + intervalTime
(Date) $R8 = 2019-02-04 13:19:05 UTC
(lldb) print endTime
(Date) $R10 = 2019-02-04 13:19:05 UTC

A: A Date represents an absolute point in time, and includes fractional seconds (up to some precision, limited by the precision of TimeInterval aka Double, and probably other factors).
You can truncate the time interval to integral seconds, or use the proper Calendar methods:
let date = Date()
let date1 = Calendar.current.dateInterval(of: .second, for: date)!.start

print(date.timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate)  // 571003391.256104
print(date1.timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate) // 571003391.0

You can also compare two dates with a "granularity" of whole seconds:
if Calendar.current.compare(currentDate, to: endDate, toGranularity: .second) != .orderedAscending { }

White Guy Jailed After Refusing to Role Play 'Slave and Slaver' With Black Girlfriend
Apparently, the white guy in this story found this to be a little over his hard limits for sexual roleplay,
A white Florida man was apparently so disgusted by his black girlfriend's request to role play as "slave and slaver" that he spat in her face, according to court documents.
An Aug. 6 affidavit reported by the New York Daily News showed that Bradenton police were called to the home of Kenneth Atkins, 37, and Ashley Edwards, 35, and found the pair "engaged in a verbal argument over refusal to role play."
"Ashley stated she wanted to play slave and slaver because she is African American and he is Caucasian," read the Manatee County Sheriff's office report. "Kenneth did not wish to partake and became verbally aggressive."
According to the report, Atkins "spat in Ashley's face."
Atkins "denied the allegations and/or any other physical confrontation" to police, The Smoking Gun reported. Edwards declined to provide officers with a sworn affidavit and said she did not want Atkins to go to jail…
I feel a little sorry for her because if she dumps this guy, she is going to be constantly hit on by white guys from here on out that are going to be like, "No pressure, baby, but if you are into roleplay, I am there for you. You know, whatever you like. Slave/slavemaster — doesn't have to be that or anything, but I am willing."
Also, this guy apparently has a long criminal record with "convictions in the past, including grand theft, burglary, battery, loitering, violating probation and narcotics possession." Doesn't it seem kind of unusual for a guy who's stealing, beating people and doing drugs to be like, "Your preferred type of sexual roleplay feels so offensively racist that I am going to spit in your face!"
The people in this story seem a little weird on the weird side all the way around, but maybe that's just because it's Florida.

JOHNSTOWN, Colo.–Commercial Laundry Systems of the Rockies (Commercial Laundry Systems) recently announced an initiative to donate 5 percent of profits, gleaned from equipment sales during May 2016, to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (St. Jude). Company owner Pete Valconesi, who expects the donated sum to be between $3,000 and $5,000, said he's glad to give back – especially when those funds can help heal sick children.
St. Jude, first established in 1962 by entertainer Danny Thomas, is a hospital focused on understanding, treating and defeating childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. "We've spent more than half a century finding cures and saving children, and our groundbreaking research has helped push the survival rate for childhood cancer from less than 20 percent in 1962 to more than 80 percent today," states the hospital's website.
That's why Valconesi is also encouraging the public to donate to St. Jude's online at www.stjude.org. Valconesi maintains he's also committed to donating a portion of May equipment profits on an annual basis.
Commercial Laundry Systems of the Rockies is a full-service distributor of Continental on-premise and vended laundry equipment throughout Colorado, Montana and Wyoming.

I had a very active childhood, participating in many sports including a competitive career in gymnastics. I then spent 14 years as an elite gymnastics coach training young athletes towards national squads and competitions (still being a regular gym goer myself). In 2015 I found CrossFit and discovered a whole new approach to fitness. This world opened up so many new opportunities for me and I found real motivation for training. With my background as a coach and knowledge in health and fitness, I naturally found myself helping others which led me on to completing my CrossFit level 1 qualification and eventually my Personal Training level 3. I enjoy training people as well as planning, setting and seeing through goals. However, the most rewarding thing is helping my clients achieve things they didn't know they were even capable of.
Even though I have such a big involvement in CrossFit this doesn't necessarily mean this is the only way I train my clients. Each client is going to have a different goal which is going to require a lot of time and thought put in to planning a personalised programme to reach that outcome successfully. Naturally I think interval training and functional fitness is very beneficial to everyday life but I like to keep things fun, interesting a bit of a challenge.
The majority of my time is spent in the gym! Competing regularly in CrossFit requires me to follow a vigorous training schedule but luckily I enjoy every part of it! I also have a big interest in sports rehabilitation which led me on to completing my Level 3 in Sports Massage Therapy. I now do Sports Massage on the side of Personal Training and I think they complement each other well, as recovery is just as important as the training itself.
However, when I'm not training or training others I ensure I maintain a good social life, meeting up with friends and family.
I eat very clean most of the time with breakfast being my favourite meal of the day.
My favourites cheats would be anything like pancakes or waffles!

Effects of exchange bias on magnetotransport in permalloy kagome artificial spin ice
B. L. Le, D. W. Rench, R. Misra, L. O'Brien, C. Leighton, N. Samarth, P. Schiffer
Chemical Engineering and Materials Science
We investigate the magnetotransport properties of connected kagome artificial spin ice networks composed of permalloy nanowires. Our data show clear evidence of magnetic switching among the wires, both in the longitudinal and transverse magnetoresistance. An unusual asymmetry with field sweep direction appears at temperatures below about 20 K that appears to be associated with exchange bias resulting from surface oxidation of permalloy, and which disappears in alumina-capped samples. These results demonstrate that exchange bias is a phenomenon that must be considered in understanding the physics of such artificial spin ice systems, and that opens up new possibilities for their control.

Once upon a time there was a princes called Jess. Jess loved being a princes but she always wanted to know how it looked like in the real world with the trees and the raspberry bushes and the sweet animals.
So one day Jess decided that she will sneak out in the middle of the night, to see what's really out there. So she set her beautiful pink alarm clock that she found in the shed, to 12 o'clock.
So at 12 o'clock at night Jess's alarm clock started to sing the beautifulest song to wake her up for her new adventure. Jess dressed up in her stripy clothes and snuck out of the castle.
But as Jess was opening her fragile window covered in sparkles she took her first step and slipped after half of a second she started falling down as fast as a airplane making a crash landing.
Two seconds later a dragon flew out of the trees and caught Jess, at first Jess was a little frightened but then she started to have a lot of fun with the dragon. The dragon and Jess became very good friends Jess also named the dragon stormfly.
Stormfly took jess on a wonderful adventure so wonderful that Jess never wanted to go back to the castle. So she never did Stormfly and Jess had amazing times after that. And they lived happily ever after.

Third Annual Joan H. Tisch Community Health Prize Recipients Announced
Posted on June 7, 2013 · Posted in Roosevelt House General News
Click here for images and video from the ceremony at Roosevelt House.
Hunter College President Jennifer J. Raab hosted a ceremony at Hunter's Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute to announce the recipients of the third annual Joan H. Tisch Community Health Prize. The 2013 recipients are Turning Point for Women and Families, Independence Care System's (ICS) Breast Cancer Screening Project for Women with Physical Disabilities, and Robert Cordero, Executive Director of CitiWide Harm Reduction. The prize, which was presented June 6th at Roosevelt House, is administered by Hunter College and is awarded to not-for-profit organizations and individuals for distinguished accomplishment in the field of urban public health.
The Joan H. Tisch Community Health Prize is a component of the Joan H. Tisch Legacy Project, based at Hunter College and made possible with a five-year grant of over $1 million from her children Steve Tisch, Laurie M. Tisch, and Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch. The other components are the Joan H. Tisch Distinguished Fellowship in Public Health and the Joan H. Tisch Public Health Forum.
The winners, chosen by a committee composed of Hunter College faculty and representatives from the health policy and advocacy communities and led by Roosevelt House Interim Director Jonathan Fanton, will each receive a prize of $10,000.
"This year's winners, individually and collectively, work to meet the specific health care needs of New York's diverse, urban population," said Hunter College President Jennifer J. Raab. "Hunter is proud to be at the forefront of increasing access to health care and of celebrating others, like our award recipients, who share this commitment. Our thanks, as always, to the Tisch family for their generosity, public-spiritedness, and dedication to improving the lives of New Yorkers."
"My mother has long dedicated herself to improving the quality of life for all New Yorkers through proactive medical care and these honorees represent her same values, dedication and passion," said Steve Tisch. "This year's honorees, Turning Point for Women and Families, Independence Care System's Breast Cancer Screening Project for Women with Physical Disabilities, and Robert Cordero, Executive Director of CitiWide Harm Reduction have helped save thousands of New Yorkers' lives through their work and I know they will continue to do amazing work for New Yorkers in need."
Turning Point for Women and Families is a grassroots, community-based organization in Queens addressing the needs of Muslim women and children through crisis intervention, individual and group counseling, advocacy, outreach, education and training. Responding to the wide gap between needs and services available to the Muslim community, it offers culturally competent services, especially in the area of domestic violence. Its Youth Program offers Muslim girls leadership trainings and a supportive peer network through which they build their self-confidence. It has served over 750 Muslim women, girls and children since its inception in 2004, most of them recent immigrants, coming from over 30 different countries.
"As a Hunter graduate, I am deeply honored that my alma mater has chosen to recognize a small, grassroots organization like Turning Point for Women and Families," said Robina Niaz, Executive Director of Turning Point for Women and Families. "It reflects the commitment of both the Tisch Family and Hunter College to New York's growing immigrant population and to helping address the complex issues each community faces. Domestic violence is a problem that every community faces and has far reaching effects on health. Turning Point is the first non-profit to address domestic violence in the Muslim community and the Joan H. Tisch Health Prize sends a very positive message of support to our under-resourced community."
Independence Care System's (ICS) Breast Cancer Screening Project for Women with Physical Disabilities was launched in 2008 to address the health disparities found among low-income women with physical disabilities in New York City who have been largely excluded from this necessary screening procedure. ICS created and tested a model to increase access by partnering with two facilities-one community-based, the other a hospital–in Manhattan to identify and reduce the multiple, persistent barriers to breast cancer screening for women with physical disabilities. Due to its success, the project was recently expanded to include other gynecological care for women with physical disabilities and now includes additional partner facilities in Brooklyn and the Bronx.
"On behalf of our Breast Cancer Screening Project, our Women's Health program, and all of us at Independence Care System, I want to extend our deep gratitude to Hunter College and the Tisch family for this great honor," said Marilyn E. Saviola, Senior Vice President of Advocacy and the Women's Health Program, of ICS. "By recognizing our Project's contribution to reducing health disparities and improving access to crucial health services for low-income women with physical disabilities in New York City, the Joan H. Tisch Community Health Prize not only raises awareness of the health care needs of a greatly neglected population; it also increases the likelihood that real progress, at last, can begin to be made. For historically, when we talked about disparities in access to health care, we seldom heard people with disabilities mentioned. This Prize-devoted, as it is, to improving urban public health-is helping, right now, to change that conversation."
Robert Cordero has devoted much of his career to working with people impacted by HIV/AIDS and helping to prevent the spread of the disease. He is Executive Director of CitiWide Harm Reduction in the South Bronx, which works to improve the health, social and economic status of active drug users who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. CitiWide helps to keep everyone safer by curbing the transmission of HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis C through needle exchange, testing and other health and social services. Mr. Cordero stood out for his leadership in guiding CitiWide to fiscal and program stability. CitiWide serves about 2,900 people at risk for and living with HIV/AIDS, including the homeless, injection drug users, and sex workers.
"I am deeply grateful to the Tisch family, the award committee, and the Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute at Hunter College for recognizing our groundbreaking work to improve the lives of drug users who are homeless and unstably housed in the South Bronx," said Mr. Cordero. "We are at a unique time in the history of fighting poverty, homelessness, addiction and illness; with an opportunity to dramatically impact the health status of the most marginalized individuals and communities in New York City. The Community Health Prize will be immediately utilized to further build CitiWide Harm Reduction's program model, community leadership and sustainability."

Q: Show element if has same html and if not make an alert saying "no results" Sorry for the horrible title, Am terrible at wording these things.
What I am trying to do is quite simple I think.
I have a set of hidden letters that make up a word.
Below them is a selection of random jumbled up letters.
When people click one of the random jumbled letters I am filtering through the hidden letters and showing the corresponding letter.
What I need to do is, if someone clicks a letter, filter through the hidden letters and either return a "true" and show the letter or return a "false/null" and make an alert();
This is how I am filtering at the moment. I am confused as to where to place an if statement or if that is even the approach I should be taking.
And here is a fiddle (the hidden word is "Seal") - http://jsfiddle.net/GA7WB/
var $buttons = $('#letters span'),
    $hidden = $('.letter');

$buttons.click(function(){

    _selected = $(this).html();

    $hidden.filter(function() {
        return $(this).text() == _selected;
    }).show();

});

A: You just need to check the length of the results returned by the filter:
// get matched elements
var matches = $hidden.filter(function() {
    return $(this).text() == _selected;
});

// show them, or alert if none
if (matches.length > 0) matches.show();
else alert("There are no " + _selected + "'s");

See Fiddle

A: Try setting a flag if you find one:
var $buttons = $('#letters span'),
var $hidden = $('.letter');

$buttons.click(function(){
    _selected = $(this).html();

    var foundOne = false;
    $hidden.filter(function() {
        var retval = $(this).text() == _selected;
        if (retval) foundOne = true;
        return retval;
    }).show();

    if (!foundOne) {
        alert("Nope");
    }
});

Tobias Frere-Jones Gotham 2000
Gotham is one of the most successful typefaces of the early twenty-first century. Originally inspired by the lettering on Manhattan's Port Authority Bus Terminal sign, it was designed after Frere-Jones conducted an extensive study of New York City's vernacular lettering. A distillation of the "letters of paint, plaster, neon, glass and steel that figure so prominently in the urban landscape," as the typographers have said, Gotham has a familiar quality even though it is newly designed. The letterforms are simple and straightforward—an engineer's idea of "basic lettering."

MAJOR LABEL DEBUT ON CONCORD JAZZ
Album Marks Career Breakthrough For Richmond, VA Powerhouse
Mix of Songs, Beats, Rhymes, and Grooves Foretells Jazz/Hip-Hop Future
#KingButch—hashtag proudly attached—is the title of Butcher Brown's soon-to-be top-trending album, the eighth in the band's up-from-the-roots legacy, and their first with Concord Records, on the Concord Jazz imprint. The 13 tracks collectively represent a bold step forward for the 5-piece group from Richmond, Virginia. Remaining true to the group's heady fusion of contemporary hip-hop, '70s fusion, '60s jazz and funk—even echoes of Southern rock and marching band music show up—#KingButch is a powerfully original statement that reaches across divisions of genre, generation, ethnicity, and geography. Significantly, the new recording also reveals a side of Butcher Brown that's been developing and is now in full-flower: a song-crafting, studio maturity on a par with their national reputation as an explosive live act.

The Small Constitution of 1919 was the first constitution of the Second Polish Republic. It was formally called the "Legislative Sejm's ordinance of 20 February 1919, entrusting Józef Piłsudski with the further execution of the office of Chief of State" (Polish: "Uchwała Sejmu Ustawodawczego z dnia 20 lutego 1919 r. w sprawie powierzenia Józefowi Piłsudskiemu dalszego sprawowania urzędu Naczelnika Państwa"). The legislation was published as Dz. Pr. P.P. Nr 19, poz. 226.

Provisions
The Small Constitution declared that Poland has a parliamentary system, although it didn't define Poland as a republic.

Executive powers were held by the Chief of State. He could name the ministers (with the consent of the Sejm); he and the ministers were responsible before the Sejm. The Chief of State (previously the Provisional Chief of State) no longer had legislative initiative and could not dismiss the Sejm; all his acts required the  signature of the relevant minister.

The Small Constitution was adopted and published on 20 February 1919 and went into effect a week later, on 27 February 1919. It was amended on 25 February 1920 and was supplanted on 1 June 1921 by the March 1921 Constitution.

THE recent announcement of a new timeline for the building of a new Port of Sale Federation Training campus has been welcomed by local businesses and education providers, who have been waiting anxiously for further confirmation that a central training centre will eventuate. Construction on the new campus is expected to begin next year, with a new completion date of late 2021, and opening early 2022. The news is a big win for Wellington Shire, after more than a decade of election promises, stalling on funding and concern over unviable student numbers, despite consistent lobbying from the council, the Committee for Wellington, local industry, the opposition and the wider community. A Federation Training spokesman confirmed this week that the money for the build was now committed and "in our account" as a result of the Chadstone campus sale. The provider has launched yet another community consultation process so it can again hear directly from the local community to help shape the future of TAFE in Gippsland. The spokesman said the community consultation throughout May and June would include online and hard copy surveys, pop-up stalls at various community locations, and targeted conversations with local schools, industry and business. Following the consultation process, an architect will be appointed. Sale College principal Brendan Staples said it was great news for Sale, as there was a growing need for local education options for students, particularly in the areas of vocational education and training (VET)and alternative pathways. He said travelling to Bairnsdale and Traralgon, or even further, was not always an option for young people, and a local facility would give people choices and opportunities. About 10 per cent of the school's students seek VET-style courses that give them introductory skills and training, and deliver industry-specific knowledge and skills. Mr Staples said he would like to see a Sale-based TAFE "broadenings its offerings" from those delivered at Fulham, and would liaise with the school's pathways teachers to ensure the college was in involved in the TAFE consultation process. "At the end of the day I'm interested in seeing a range of opportunities and pathways for our young people," Mr Staples said. "We want to encourage our community to become part of our future workforce. We will work closely with federation around these opportunities and any other ways for our current and future staff to increase their skills and qualifications." Committee for Gippsland chair Justine Andrew said it was important businesses provided course requirements to the TAFE within the consultation timeline, so that there were no "assumptions" about what courses were needed. "It's one thing to build it, it's another to fill the seats - and that's where businesses need to act now," she said. "I'd also encourage local businesses to engage in the tendering process for the construction of the building." Information technology business owner and Committee for Gippsland member Tim Munkton was more non-committal about the benefits of the development, saying some businesses were taking a "wait and see" approach. "Clearly it is good for local young people, but whether it will help any particular local business will depend on what courses they offer," he said. "That is something they can't tell us yet, and even if they do provide IT courses, whether they will be specific enough is something we don't know, so I'm keeping an open mind." The latest timeline certainly provides some certainty to the development proposal. In 2015, the prospect of relocating a Federation TAFE campus to the Port of Sale precinct appeared dead in the water, with the Fulham campus experiencing declining enrolments since 2010. Federation Training's then chief executive Wendy Wood said the capital investment needed to develop the Port of Sale site was disproportionate to the number of students currently at Fulham. And as recently as 2017, the education facility's future in Wellington Shire was still in limbo, with no sign of immediate resolution, after the provider's management confirmed a number of job losses, as well as a "reduction in some training courses", were needed in order for the training facility to remain financially viable. At the annual meeting that year it was revealed that student contact hours had fallen by almost 700,000 hours, and about a third of its workforce left between 2014 and 2015. Also that year, on a visit to Sale, then Training and Skills Minister Gayle Tierney cast further doubt on the proposal, telling the Gippsland Times that Federation Training's closure would be considered "if that's what makes sense". But in a major win for the shire, the state government finally announced last year it had allocated $25 million in the 2018-19 budget for the campus to be built on Sale's former netball courts site. An Education Department spokesperson said at the time detailed planning was well underway as the project already had a business case and had been fully costed, with completion expected in late 2019. That's where things ended, until last week, when the new timeline was announced. Speaking to local media on Monday, chief executive Grant Radford said a new name for the educational facility was expected to be announced this week. The new campus is expected to provide education and training facilities for a range of industry and academic disciplines including engineering, health and aged care. Mr Radford said Federation Training's curriculum review, past and upcoming community forums, and the advice of the Skills Commissioner would be used to compile a mix of courses and delivery options that the institution wants to test with the local community. "We want to ensure that [with] the courses we offer, the way we deliver training and the facilities, we meet the diverse needs of our students, our communities, local business and industry," Mr Radford said. "Whether you fill out the survey or visit one of the pop-up stalls that will be in place, this is an opportunity for the people in the Shire of Wellington and the Latrobe Valley to have their say on the future of TAFE in their region." Federation Training communications coordinator Neil Lawson said it was still too early to provide a definite list of courses to be offered, and the community consultation would "seek validation for what we are running and could potentially run now and from the new TAFE building once it's built". He said student numbers as a result of government-funded free TAFE courses, and staffing levels were increasing throughout Gippsland to match that demand. Federation Training is also looking at how to best utilise the Flexible Learning Centre in Sale's CBD, and will explore extensions to that facility to cope with increased training demand. However, no long-term decisions had been taken and the new course mix in the region would determine if it remained separate to the new development. More information about the consultation process can be found on Federation Training's website.

Q: ubuntu 16.04 desktop i386 support on repositories, final date The support for Ubuntu 16.04 will end at End Of Life date?
I don't have clear the concept. How does this work?

A: Ubuntu 16.04 desktop i386 (32-bit) will lose community support --the kind provided by AskUbuntu-- in April 2021.

*

*Most other flavors of 16.04 (Kubuntu, Lubuntu, etc) already reached End of Life in April, 2019.

Here's a few shots from the fall from a couple of my middle school students.
10x10, acrylic on wood by Ophelia. I love the graphic quality of this painting and the energy of the repeating lines against the complimentary colors.
Also by Ophelia, the humble converse hi top makes for a great study of lines and proportion.
Dry-point etchings on recycled cd's. Ophelia was inspired by the shape!
Drypoint by Ruth, a lovely, dreamy image with a nice variety of lines and textures.

Price growth in the nation's metros continues to slow
The median home price in the country's metros grew 3.9% year over year, to $254,800, according to NAR
by Patrick Kearns Staff Writer
The median existing single-family home price in the nation's major metropolitan areas rose 3.9 percent year-over-year in the first quarter of 2019, to $254,800, according to the latest data from the National Association of Realtors (NAR).
The increase is slightly less than the previous quarter's 4 percent year-over-year increase, according to the new data, released Tuesday.
Prices rose in 86 percent of the metropolitan areas NAR tracks, with 13 metro areas experiencing double-digit increases.
"Homeowners in the majority of markets are continuing to enjoy price gains, albeit at a slower rate of growth," NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun said in a statement. "A typical homeowner accumulated $9,500 in wealth over the past year."
Existing home sales increased by 1.2 percent, but the rate of increase is still lower than the 5.4 percent year-over-year increase seen in the first quarter of 2018. At the end of the first quarter of 2019, there were 1.68 million homes for sale – or roughly 3.8 months supply of inventory – an increase of 2.4 percent year-over-year.
Despite the national family median income rising to $77,524, homes were less affordable this quarter due to higher prices. A buyer making a 20 percent down payment would require an income of $50,647 at the national median price.
The top 3 trends homebuyers want this season
Sellers and their agents should consider these updates to stay competitive READ MORE
Four of the five most expensive metro areas were in California, with San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward, Anaheim-Santa Ana-Irvine and San Diego-Carlsbad leading the way. Urban Honolulu, Hawaii, was also in the top five.
The most affordable metros were Decatur, Illinois; Youngstown-Warren-Boardman, Ohio; Elmira, New York; Cumberland, Maryland and Binghamton, New York.
"There are vast home price differences among metro markets," Yun said. "The condition of extremely high home prices may not be sustainable in light of many alternative metro markets that are much more affordable. Therefore, a shift in job search and residential relocations into more affordable regions of the country is likely in the future."

Welcome to the first post on my Airship Flamel Blog.
Why the name Airship Flamel? The Airship Flamel, or more accurately, Her Majesty's Research Airship Flamel, is the conveyance of one Professor Nicodemus Boffin, Scientist General of what is called by default "The Endeavour", as no better name could be agreed upon.
And who might this Boffin fellow be? Only the protagonist in my upcoming novel To Rule the Skies, a story of adventure, daring exploits, and Science! I discussed the genesis of this story in a guest blog post I did for T.E. MacArthur's The Volcano Lady blog. last November. In short, Professor Nicodemus Boffin is a British scientist tasked by Her Majesty's Government to increase the scientific knowledge and technical might of the Empire. As it happens, the unique abilities of Boffin and the crew of the Airship Flamel are often utilized for other, more dangerous missions.
I will talk about Professor Boffin much more in the coming months as the book approaches publication. But I don't expect this blog to be solely about my books (Yes, books (plural). There is one additional book in progress, a prequel to To Rule the Skies, and several more floating around in my head. It's not a coincidence that the book is subtitled An Airship Flamel Adventure…) I hope this blog will also be a source of useful and enjoyable topics of interest to the readers of my books–science, history, steampunk, history of science, science of history, steampunk science, Victoriana, making…you get the idea.
I am pleased that you have found your way here. I promise many adventures to come.

Q: Get data from many databases - dynamic database We are using SQL Server 2014 Enterprise with many databases. I have to execute query and get reports / data from every database with EXACT SAME Schema and database starts with Cab
When a new company is added in our ERP project a new database is created with exact schema starting with Cab and incremented number is assigned to it like:
Cab1
Cab2
Cab3
Cab5
Cab10

I can get the database names as:
SELECT name
FROM master.sys.databases
where [name] like 'Cab%' order by [name]

I have to create a Stored Procedure to get data from tables of every database.
How to do that using a Stored Procedure as the databases are created dynamically starting with Cab?

A: You can use EXEC(@Statement) or EXEC SP_EXECUTESQL if you have to pass parameters.
CREATE OR ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.GetDataFromAllDatabases
AS
BEGIN
    DECLARE @T TABLE (id INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1, 1), dbName VARCHAR(256) NOT NULL)
    INSERT INTO @T
    SELECT NAME FROM MASTER.SYS.DATABASES WHERE [NAME] LIKE 'Cab%' ORDER BY [NAME]

    CREATE TABLE #AllData (......)

    DECLARE @Id INT, @DbName VARCHAR(128)
    SELECT @Id = MIN(Id) FROM @T
    WHILE @Id IS NOT NULL
    BEGIN
        SELECT @DbName = dbName FROM @T WHERE Id = @Id
        DECLARE @Statement NVARCHAR(MAX)
        SET @Statement = CONCAT(N'INSERT INTO #AllData (...) SELECT .... FROM ', @DbName, '.dbo.[TableName]')
        EXEC(@Statement);
        --YOU CAN USE BELOW LINE TOO IF YOU NEED TO PASS VARIABLE
        --EXEC SP_EXECUTESQL @Statement, '@Value INT', @Value = 128
        SET @Id = (SELECT MIN(Id) FROM @T WHERE Id > @Id)
    END
END

A: A quick and easy dynamic SQL solution would be something like this:
DECLARE @Sql nvarchar(max);
SET @Sql  = STUFF((
    SELECT ' UNION ALL SELECT [ColumnsList], '''+ [name] + ''' As SourceDb FROM '+ QUOTENAME([name]) + '.[SchemaName].[TableName]' + char(10)
    FROM master.sys.databases
    WHERE [name] LIKE 'Cab%'
    FOR XML PATH('')
), 1, 10, '');

--When dealing with dynamic SQL, print is your best friend...
PRINT @Sql

-- Once the @Sql is printed and you can see it looks OK, you can run it.
--EXEC(@Sql)

Notes:

*

*Use quotename to protect against "funny" chars in identifiers names.

*Replace [ColumnsList] with the actual list of columns you need.

*There's no need for loops of any kind, just a simple stuff + for xml to mimic string_agg (which was only introduced in 2017).

*I've thrown in the source database name as a "bonus", if you don't want it that's fine.

*The Order by clause in the query that generates the dynamic SQL is meaningless for the final query, so I've removed it.


Can we focus on the content of a person's charachter instead of the color of their skin?
Theodore Roosevelt did many progressive things that helped shape the development of the country we love. How about giving TR a statue and creating a statue at French Hospital for Dr. Charles R. Drew, who also made signifcant contributions to our nation and the world. He developed blood transfusions, blood plasma and blood banking prior to World War Two, saving countless lives. Dr Drew was an African American. Would Mayor Harmon support a statue honoring him or would we hear bitching about honoring "another Man"?
Perhaps the enlightened Mayor could recommend a specific person whom she would choose to memorialize, rather than just make negative comments about the effort to erect a monument to an admired leader.
I am not interested in any monument candidate that is recommended based on race and/or gender. Nor should any other non-racist person.
Isn't there a bronze by the train station of Chinese RR workers?
There's a Chumash girl and bear fountain in Mission Plaza.
There's that wonderful abstract woman sculpture at Higuera and Nipomo.
The Christ stained glass at Foothill and Santa Rosa too is a man of color/Middle Eastern.
I can't even picture a single public art piece in SLO that is of a white man!
The majority of art is abstract in SLO.
Is the Mayor full of it, clueless or talking in overall, prejudicial terms, equating SLO with the worst this nation has to offer? Or maybe she's hankering for a fight?
Don't give Harmon so much credit. She's just clueless.
She's just following her ultra liberal philosophy. They have no original or workable ideas to offer so they simply resist any and all ideas from conservatives. Even if they agreed with the idea in the past. Note the current situation in DC. So transparent and insincere. Too bad SLO voters don't seem to care who they elect to office.
I find her comment UN-AMERICAN. Who is she representing?
Racism is racism, period. I found her comment deeply offensive and repulsive as her mind goes to race and victimization first. This is NOT a unifying leader. It really tells us about how dysfunctional SLO City elections are. Kudo's to John Ashbaugh. He is a real leader , able to bridge ideologies and his heart is all about this monument. Sorry John, this dysfunctional gal is just starting phase two of wreaking havoc on SLO. RUN FOR MAYOR JOHN!!
What a tool. Another hater of her own kind, and yes why put up a statute of a white woman then? Im sure Snoop Doggy sheet would love a statute of him, after all he pioneered the art of rap music and slo if full of arts aint it?
To use her own logic: why should I listen to a white woman then?


Leon Joyce's years with Tess Wachowicz began with an Emanuel Ungaro taffeta ballgown, part of his collection of women's attire kept in three wardrobes at the South Yarra house. The collection took in Givenchy, Jacques Fath, Schiaparelli, Madae Gres, Helmut Lang, Claire McCardell, Mainbocher, Miyake, Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel, Dior, Travis Banton, Pucci and Antony Price. Leon is a man unburdened by sexual desire. Nonetheless he adores his wife - only partly for the way she wears his exquisite collection of haute couture - and when she becomes ill and dies he is completely shattered. Then he discovers her correspondence with an unknown lover, and his suffering veers towards madness. Leon hunkers down at his neglected country property, Joyful, with the entire local supply of scotch whisky and a bizarre plan to retrieve (posthumously) Tess's devotion. In this extraordinary comedy of grief, Robert Hillman evokes his characters, from the merely unconventional to the frankly deranged, with kindness, grace and wit. Joyful is a gift that will leave the reader deeply moved and filled with delight.
Robert Hillman has written a number of books including his 2004 memoir The Boy in the Green Suit, which won the National Biography Award. He lives in Warburton in Victoria's Yarra Valley.


Iceland is the top country by total protein supply in the world. As of 2013, total protein supply in Iceland was 133.5 g per capita per day that accounts for 0.96 % of the world's total protein supply. The top 5 countries (others are Hong Kong, Israel, Lithuania, and Maldives) account for 4.57 % of it. The world's total total protein supply was estimated at 13,956.4 g per capita per day in 2013.


Not anyone I know...we all prefer red so we just do something light like a merlot, pinot noir, etc... REally, I actually prefer red with all meals and as long as you don't get a wine that overpowers the food, it will be delicious!
I do white with poultry, pink or rose with pork, and red with beef.
Most people still do, yes. However, it is becoming more acceptable for people to drink whatever they wish based upon taste rather than color. This view has even been put forth by some old-school wine experts, even from France. I image this is because there are so many different wines out there, with all their different flavors and aromas, that it is beginning to make sense to some that basing which wine to go with which food doesn't really mean much if you don't like the flavor/brand/color/price or what have you. There is something to be said, after all, about a wine whose flavor otherwise compliments a meal. But of course, this is a personal thing. Appearance and tradition mean a lot in the preparation, presentation and consumption of a meal, as much as the actual taste even, when it's all put together. If in doubt in a more formal setting, go with the traditional rule. Otherwise, drink what you think best suits your tastes!
Which would you prefer red or white wine with spaghetti and meatballs?

Today I have discovered something really nice. Office 365 Beta supports Windows Phone 7 Office Hub. You can annotate documents (annotations are limited to highlighting only) and add comments. Also you can edit the documents. And I must say it is surprisingly smooth experience. Also it works pretty fast on the 3G network.
I just received an invitation for the Office 365 Beta!!! HiHa!!!


The draft National Digital Communications Policy 2018 appears good, but it is a mere beginning.
Imagine a scenario where no one in the entire continent of Europe has a mobile phone or access to the internet. Unable to access banking services, apply for jobs, get educated and avail the same benefits as people online, these nations would struggle to stay afloat in today's digital world and their economies would plummet. A very worrisome picture, isn't it? This is not a fictional state but a stark reality before us because this is the staggering number of Indians without access to the internet today.
The world over, a country's economy is increasingly tied to its people being online. India, with its strong aspirations, has much to do to catch up. Liberal and relevant growth-friendly government policies and healthy market competition are the critical engines of boosting the country's growth. India is growing at about 7% annually and is estimated to overtake both the UK's and Germany's economies in about 10 years, to become the world's fourth-largest economy. India's telecommunications sector experienced a high 7.3% growth in the past two decades, thanks to government policies such as the National Telecom Policy of 1999 (NTP 99) and fierce competition in the market. The world is changing, and battle lines are now being drawn on the digital front. Currently, digital products and services contribute only 4% to India's economy but it is estimated to jump to 60% of the GDP within the next four years (Microsoft research).
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Digital India mission hopes to achieve just that. The landmark policy NDCP (National Digital Communications Policy 2018), due to release any day now, has been developed after a mammoth collaborative effort that involved all key stakeholders. While the contents of this epoch-making policy are truly remarkable, more noteworthy is the brilliant, open and consultative process followed in developing it.
Both public and private sectors came together with a singular focus and an inclusive approach on the common man's needs with clear initiatives such as Broadband for All, Fibre First and more. Without this type of teamwork, the general public would have suffered from fractured policies that pushed individual political agendas. This type of increased joint effort by government agencies also continues to build the hopes, aspirations and pride of Indians in India and around the world. This provides greater confidence in the working machinery and efficiency of the Indian government, and sets the stage for greater global investments in India.
The Department of Telecom (DoT) set up around a dozen specialist working groups, each entrusted with one field or speciality—legislative approach and licensing, spectrum management, allocation and pricing of resources, new technologies, consumer protection and privacy, infrastructure, satellite communications, Make-in-India and Digital India.
This type of open and transparent consultative process when generating a new economic policy of national importance has never been seen before, either in India or anywhere else in the world. India has set an impressively high standard in policy-making which many other nations could use as a template now and in the future.
In this exercise, DoT gathered inputs from different organisations like the chambers of commerce (CII, FICCI, Assocham), the Broadband India Forum (BIF), the Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), telecom providers, internet providers, and product manufacturers.
This was also the first time that the telecom regulator was formally involved and requested to provide recommendations for drafting the policy. This is significant because it ensures a holistic and inclusive approach for all required stakeholder buy-in prior essential to executing the policy. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) launched a comprehensive process of consultations to evolve recommendations which were sent into the government.
Once a draft policy was prepared, it was made available on the internet for a few weeks and comments invited from all. The fine-tuned draft is under review by the multi-ministerial apex body for telecom policy-making, the Telecom Commission. We believe it has been approved and the policy is due to be released any day.
This teamwork means that the policy focus remains solely where it belongs—the needs of the Indian economy and Indian consumers. When all stakeholders have provided their approval, there is a drive towards execution and achieving results. Instead of multiple siloed policies, we now have a unified digital communications policy that ties all the moving parts required to ensure the Digital India vision becomes a reality. We have eschewed the obsolescent views of 'telecom' and girded ourselves up for entering the modern era through a digital communications policy, tailored to emerging India's vision and requirements.
This era of digitisation is essential to benefiting all the citizens—in both urban and rural areas. The government estimates getting $100 billion in investments to the digital communications sector and generate employment. The Union minister for electronics and information technology Ravi Shankar Prasad once stated: "IT gives employment to about 30 lakh people. Once Digital India becomes reality, we can give jobs to five crore plus people". Achieving the Digital India mission of Broadband for All and introducing innovations such as 5G and Smart Cities will be a significant part of sustaining this growth.
For India to take our rightful place as one of the largest economies within a decade, we will need a laser-like focus on all things digital and the implementation of the sterling proposals already crystallised in the NDCP. Taking steps to connect all citizens online, introduce cutting-edge innovations such as improved broadband capabilities, 5G, Internet of Things (IoT) to run Smart Cities and investing in high-quality fibre technology are critical to GDP growth.
The ability to get an education, gainful employment, access government schemes and conduct financial transactions depends on access to high-speed internet and mobile data. Getting rural India online means access to resources to help them work and make better use of government resources and financing options. Additionally, there is a direct proven correlation between a strong economy and the rate of employed women. In India, that number is a low 26%—but digitising the country will bring Indian women the ability to work and earn a living for their families. India would be 27% richer just by empowering greater numbers of women to work (International Monetary Fund estimate). The access to quality education, safe working conditions and employment opportunities are paramount and the internet can contribute greatly to this. Take the success of Internet Saathi, the Tata Trusts and Google partnership, which provides digital literacy and employment opportunities for women. Over 1.5 million women across 150,000 villages have been trained in using the internet to help better their lives.
For Indian businesses, the Indian digitisation boom leads to millions of more consumers for products, technologies and services in all sectors—retail, banking, mobile payments, education, entertainment, industrial, healthcare and more. The introduction of cutting-edge technologies such as 5G will enable faster and more efficient communication and can establish India as a global centre for IT services, data centres and much more. Furthermore, using made-in-India products to lay high-quality optical fibre cables and develop Smart Cities will increase the demand for Indian products and boost Indian businesses even further.
Successive governments' strategies of regularly reviewing and updating telecom policies to stay relevant and take the latest innovations into consideration provided the telecom sector a big thrust. The NDCP 2018 is the fifth wave of policy to be released by the DoT and, if executed as per plan, will help lift millions out of poverty and help India develop into a global hub for a multitude of business sectors. Nelson Mandela once said, "After climbing a great hill, one only finds there are many more hills to climb". Similarly, the Indian telecom sector has to overcome many obstacles to become the fastest growing sector over the last 20 years—and we have many more hills to climb in the form of digital advancements to reach our desired spot on the world stage. We cannot rest on the laurels of NDCP formulation. The formidable journey of implementation is just the beginning and this is what will decide the commitment to NDCP and Digital India.

Even before you were born, I felt that one of the important things about being a parent was learning how to be a child again (in the fun sense), and relearning all those important lessons – from washing hands, to eating with your mouth closed, to compassion and manners. One of the things I'm loving most about being your mom is being able to act a bit like a child – appropriately, of course (though Dad still thinks I throw tantrums sometimes). I love playing peekaboo with you, jumping on the bed, clapping hands with you, making funny faces, plus all the seriously bizarre things I do to distract you while Dad changes you after the bath – like jump up and down, snort like a pig, or throw a ball in the air and miss it (it helps that you find it funny when I miss – it means less pressure on me to practise my low hand-eye co-ordination skills). One of the things I've started doing is singing, which is something I didn't do much of, caus I don't have a very good voice and while I think I might be able to carry a tune, I suspect others might feel otherwise. So when you were born, I kind of resisted singing, but then I learnt that you kinda liked it and it calmed you when I sang the gentle tunes, and made you giggle when I sang Old McDonald. I swear – I feel eight years old again when I sing so unashamedly, and without fear that I'll be pelted with naartjies.
Too right! There's something about being a parent that makes one loose ones inhibitions. I'm no longer embarressed and will gladly make a fool of myself to make Ava laugh!
Haha – that's hilarious! The things we do… but agreed, it's soooo much fun!

The best gifts are those which are home-made….In going through my dad's things, we found two things in the fire proof box along with his important papers. They were a letter I wrote him one Father's Day when we didn't have any money to buy gifts AND a poem Belinda had written the same year. I will admit, I was surprised and really didn't remember it but it showed just how special it was to him.
Don't spend much time with your dad – carve out some time jut for him. For many years, Father's Day was just one of the two holidays we spent with my dad. There really weren't presents because we didn't have the money but the gift of time (no electronics) was the best gift of all.
Make your dad's favorite meal or something special just for him. Write a letter or a poem or record a song – share your heart with him, Make him a picture, a mug, a card or anything to show how much you care.
No matter what it is you give – give from your heart. What are you giving to your dad or the special man in your life this year? Share your gift ideas with us – we can always use some more.

Petition: End religious discrimination in school admissions
We should be rolling back religious discrimination in school admissions. The Government want to expand it. Join us in the campaign to end this unfair system.
FAO: Damian Hinds MP, Secretary of State for Education
Dear Mr Hinds,
We (the signatories to this petition) urge you to end discrimination in faith school admissions.
Voluntary aided schools and academies with a religious character are given special exemptions from equality law that allow them to discriminate against pupils whose families do not share the faith of the school. This is unfair, unnecessary and fuels segregation in our society.
In a society as diverse as ours, rather than facilitating segregation along religious lines, the Government should be doing everything it can to ensure that children of all faiths and none are educated together in inclusive schools.
If the Government wishes to "promote inclusivity", it is clear that facilitating religiously selective schools is, by definition, inimical to this aim.
We therefore urge you to consider ways of ending religious discrimination and segregation in our schools – rather than extending it, as proposals to open more 100% selective voluntary aided schools would.
Please rethink these proposals and instead ensure that all of our schools are open and inclusive, catering for all local children regardless of their families' religious or non-religious beliefs.
Petition: Religious discrimination in school admissions. End it. Don't extend it.
Adding a comment makes the petition more impactful. Let people know why you're signing.
Would you like to receive Newsline – our free weekly roundup of news and opinion?
Would you like to receive local campaign updates?
A selection of petition signatures
"Any increase in 100% selective faith schools is a serious retrograde step for society, and a serious blow to freedom of thought for the children affected."
"I can't believe we've not learnt the lesson of religious segregation, not just in recent years but through a study of the last millennium."
"To separate children from each other, and severely limit the education that they receive, simply because of their parents' religious beliefs, is a breach of the children's rights, and of our duty to give them as good an education as possible."
