Has it really been seven weeks since I last posted? I can only plead that I've been busy doing nothing, or at least busy preparing to do nothing, as, having been a teacher since 1980, I've decided to abandon my fond attempts to persuade my pupils to use capital letters or full stops, or possibly even both, and retire.
Recently (at the launch of Justin Thurgur's new album at the Vortex in Dalston, north London) I ran into an ex-colleague who retired about 15 years ago. He said that although he'd thoroughly enjoyed his career, he could quite happily have retired at 17, and, allowing for a little rhetorical exaggeration, I feel the same. After all, there are about 16,000 parish churches in England, and I've got an awfully long way to go before I've seen them all (let alone those in other countries).
When people have heard that I'm retiring, the question they most often ask is 'What are you going to do?' My stock answer has been, 'Wake up every morning and think: "Yes! No marking!"' (Another retired ex-colleague tells me that her answer to this question was 'Lie on the sofa for a year and read novels and eat chocolate.') I certainly won't miss the marking, or the meetings, or (angels and ministers of grace defend us) the reports. On the other hand, I will miss the students (especially those who have the good grace to laugh at my rubbish jokes), the teaching, and my colleagues. Nevertheless, I haven't got the energy I used to have, and 36 years (with a couple of caesuras) seems long enough. Time to make room for someone younger. At least I went out with a bang (if you have six minutes to spare you might find it amusing to watch this, in which my fellow English teachers send me off in style and a puff of smoke).

Paralympic skier Woolstencroft amazed by response to 'Good Odds' commercial
Lori Ewing
PYEONGCHANG, Korea, Republic Of — Lauren Woolstencroft has received hundred if not thousands of messages since her remarkable life story was broadcast to the world during the Super Bowl.
The eight-time Paralympic skiing gold medallist was the subject of Toyota's touching "Good Odds" commercial that aired during this year's NFL championship game between Philadelphia and New England. The outpouring of support, she said, was "bigger than any success I had at the Paralympics.
"The amount of messages I've had from around the world, and people reaching out who have kids with disabilities, saying it inspired them — It's incredible."
One particular message made her smile.
"A person emailed me from Australia and said he was a ski instructor at Canada Olympic Park in the late '80s. And he had taught me as part of a school group and he remembered me, and that experience of teaching me as an eight-year-old was super meaningful for him," Woolstencroft said. "And he said he talked about it through the years, and then there I was on a commercial … You kind of don't realize the impact you have on people."
One of Canada's biggest Paralympic stars, Woolstencroft won three medals in 2002 in Salt Lake, two in Turin, and then capped her career with an astounding five gold medals in Vancouver before retiring.
But for all her accomplishments on the slope, Toyota's ad, part of their "Start Your Impossible" campaign that centres around mobility, has shone a spotlight on the Calgary native like never before.
"When I agreed (to making the ad), I kind of thought it would be played in the middle of the night, nobody watches commercials anyways, and I didn't really think about that," she said. "But it's been crazy. They actually released it on the Today Show on the Friday before the Super Bowl. I guess that's a big thing with Superbowl ads, the pre-release to get a buzz. It was unbelievable."
The 60-second spot, which doesn't feature a single car, chronicles Woolstencroft's journey to Paralympic excellence, from the day she was born without legs below the knee, and with no left arm below the elbow.
The 36-year-old is now an electrical engineer and mother of one-year-old son Max, and is working with the CBC's broadcast crew in Pyeongchang.
The commercial was true to life, she said, developed through re-enactment around video clips and photos of her childhood. The 14-year-old Woolstencroft was played by Erin Latimer, who's competing on Canada's alpine team in Pyeongchang.
The final product made for emotional viewing.
"I saw it in various forms of course, from very rough to finished. But the first time I saw it, it made me kind of uncomfortable, because it's just kind of funny to see your own sort of story," Woolstencroft said. "But by the 10th watching, I felt a little bit more okay with it.
"I've done so much media and so much on TV, but that's always been about specific things like winning a medal at the Games. This was more a story of my life, and I hadn't necessarily done that. So, I think especially for my parents, yeah it was emotional."
Super Bowl commercials, which cost upwards of US$5 million to air, have become a cultural phenomenon, almost as anticipated as the game itself. According to video ad tech company Unruly, "Good Odds" had the biggest brand bang for its buck. The ad scored the highest on the company's "EQ" scores that measure emotional, social and business impact.
The ad also aired during the Pyeongchang Olympics.
Woolstencroft hopes those 60 seconds will have a lasting impact on Paralympic sport.
"Any time there is a Paralympian that is in some kind of spotlight is amazing," she said. "And I think just watching these Olympics, there were numerous ads, not just mine, that featured Paralympians, so I think that speaks to the fact there's interest, there's great stories, and yeah, I hope it translates to more viewers of the Paralympic Games, and more people getting involved in Paralympic sport.
"I think that's the most important thing. That's the goal."

Online Casinos With Live Dealer Games

This year, the company also became the first online casino in New Jersey to offer live games.
While Evolution gaming live casino online sites are a great option for players who enjoy playing live games, there are a few things to keep in mind when playing at these online casinos. First of all, you should make sure that you're playing at a reputable casino. While it may be tempting to play at the newest sites, they may not have a long enough history to build a good reputation. This can leave you at risk of falling victim to a scam or playing at a poor quality site.
Playtech is one of the leading gambling technology providers. The company is currently engaged in a bidding war for two new gaming facilities. The leading bidder is Aristocrat, with a $3.7B (3.2B Euros, 2.7B Pounds) offer. But rival gaming company JKO has already submitted a competing bid by the 26th of January.
The company has a wide array of games to offer. Its Live Casino Hold'em, for example, allows players to compete against the dealer in real time. The game is also compatible with a range of mobile devices.

Keeping grandkids afloat: Grandparents step in

By Arlene Gross Special to Newsday Updated August 31, 2018 10:22 AM
Eileen Brown will never forget July 21, 2013.
"It's the day our lives changed in a nanosecond," Brown said, referring to the day her daughter was arrested and charged with armed robbery.
At that point, Brown and her husband were getting ready to retire and travel the world.

"We had a plan, and God laughed," she said. "He gave us a different plan."
The East Islip couple had to immediately take charge of JJ, Eileen's 9-year-old grandson, because his father also couldn't care for him.
After her arrest, Brown's daughter, who has developmental disabilities and is bipolar, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 3 years in prison.
"No one had any preparation time," Brown said, explaining that JJ had been left at home with a babysitter and later learned that his mother wasn't coming home and his dad couldn't take care of him. "It was quite traumatic for everybody," Brown said.
Get the scoop on events, nightlife, day trips, family fun and things to do on Long Island.
At first, Eileen, 60, and her husband, Brant, 74, the daughter's stepfather, were thrown off kilter, encountering difficulties arranging for child care.
"We were truthfully feeling sorry for ourselves, a little angry, very overwhelmed," Brown said.
Although Eileen's daughter was released from prison in 2016, she was not awarded custody. Around this time, Eileen said, JJ was diagnosed with ADHD, autism spectrum disorder and intermittent explosive disorder — all compounded by the loss of his parents' presence in his life.

The Browns placed their grandson in a residential program for several months, and they found support for themselves. They joined support groups — SASI for autism, CHADD for attention deficit disorders, and Grandparents Raising Grandchildren.
For the past two years, JJ, 14, has lived in Green Chimneys, an educational and clinical residence for children with special needs, where he will be for another year. He comes home to his grandparents from the upstate Brewster school many weekends and for vacations — like the family's late-August two-week camping trip to Indian Island Park in Riverhead.
Brown observed that although JJ and her daughter have similar problems, she has found it easier to deal with her grandson.
"I'm older. I'm a little bit more experienced. There's definitely more services out there than there were when I was going through this in the '80s," she said.
Despite JJ's parents' love for him, Brown said, "They're just not equipped to take care of him."
As JJ gets older, things don't get easier, she said. "The challenges become different. You just have to deal with them as they come along."
According to the 2010 census, Suffolk County had the highest number of grandchildren living in households headed by their grandparents (29,591) in New York State, second only to New York City, noted Dinah Torres Castro, who coordinates the Relatives as Parents Program for the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County.
Most people think caring for their grandkids will be a temporary arrangement, Castro said. "The truth of the matter is that most grandparents that take in a grandchild wind up taking care of that child for seven years or more."
LOVE STRENGTHENS RESOLVE
In addition to the five grandchildren they've helped care for over the years, while their children were working, Marie and Roger Dextra are now raising three grandchildren.
"They always thought when they'd get older they'd move back to Haiti," said Marmeline Martin, an outreach worker for North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center's Caregiver-Grandparent Respite and Support Program who has worked with the family. "But they can't, because they have to take care of their grandchildren."
For the past seven years, Brianna, 12, Brian, 11, and Ronald, 10, have lived at the Dextras' Westbury home because their mother's severe depression prevents her from caring for them.
Marie and Roger Dextra, who speak limited English, take advantage of the services from C-GRASP, as the guidance center program is known. They include advocates like Martin going to the children's school meetings on their behalf and receiving food donations from Island Harvest.
The Dextras said their abiding faith and familial love strengthen their resolve.
"God gives me the patience to raise these kids, because they don't have anybody else to raise them," said Marie, 73.
"These are our grandchildren," said Roger, 79. "We have to do it — there's no other choice."
Despite the many burdens and hardships, the Dextras find joy in caring for their grandchildren.
"It's such a passion for me," Marie said. "When I see them coming, I'm happy."
The children accept living under their grandparents' care, though their own parents' home is nearby, Marie said.
"They understand she's sick, and God will take care of them," Marie said of her daughter-in-law.
To other grandparents who are raising their grandchildren, Marie offers some words of advice: "Be patient when no one else can care for them. Be a believer in the Lord to give you the strength."
SUPPORT FOR THE LONG TERM
About one in 10 members among the 13 Families Anonymous groups on Long Island are raising their grandchildren because the children's parents' drug abuse resulted in death or an inability to be caregivers, said Donna D., who has 22 years' experience in FA and is on its World Service Board and chair of its Group Outreach Committee. The 12-step program aims to provide fellowship and support for family and friends of those with drug and alcohol and related behavioral problems. In keeping with FA's tradition of anonymity, the Islip Town resident did not want to give her last name.
She said Families Anonymous meetings can help enlighten grandparents about ways they may have enabled their loved ones' drug abuse; learning new behaviors can lead to treatment for the parents, enabling reunification with their children and relieving the grandparents of caregiving. "There's no judging. There's no advice-giving. There's no opinions," Donna said of the meetings.
Drug abuse, incarceration and mental illness have resulted in more and more grandparents raising their grandchildren, said Pam Giacoia, who runs the Grandparents Raising Grandchildren support group in Hampton Bays.
"The biggest challenges I see grandparents facing are finances, parenting issues pertaining to schoolwork, discipline and technology, needing support while going through legal issues, dealing with adult children, and, in general, emotional support while trying to raise their grandkids," she said.
"They step in," Giacoia said of the grandparents. "I've had people in my group that are from their 50s all the way up to great-grandparents that are raising their kids into their 70s and 80s." The world has changed drastically from when they raised their own kids, she said.
Grandparents seeking financial assistance can contact the state Office of Temporary Disability Assistance, which offers temporary assistance for needy families. They can also contact different local nonprofit agencies, such as the Family Service League in Suffolk County and North Shore Family & Child Guidance in Nassau.
PASTA (Parenting a Second Time Around), an eight-session curriculum developed by Cornell Cooperative Extension, and Grandparents' Support Group in Shirley, can help guide grandparents through their journey.
"Sometimes when they get custody of their grandchildren, they're totally ill-equipped to be parenting again," said Torres Castro, noting that advancing age or juggling full-time work with child-rearing are among potential obstacles.
"We give the space for them to feel it's OK to resent the fact that this is what they're doing right now, but it's also OK to focus on the child that they need to provide love, safety and security for," she said. "That's what the support group does. It helps them to focus on that."
Nellie Taylor-Walthrust, who heads the North Shore grandparenting support center, said its services help grandparents experiencing isolation and struggling with health and financial issues, which increase stress.
"They also have the opportunity to develop a social network with other grandparents that are experiencing the same life challenge," Taylor-Walthrust said.
Brown said the advice and support her family has received over the years has helped keep her focused on guiding her grandson — and preparing him for a life independent from her.
"Going to support groups and knowing we weren't alone in this was crucial for all of us, but especially for my grandson," she said.

NHAI Installs Solar Street Lights on Chennai Road
By Ankur/ Updated On Mon, Nov 19th, 2018
According to Chennai city police, the poorly lit road was a major accident prone area due to insignificant lighting on the stretch.
National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) will be lighting up a stretch of 32-KM Chennai bypass which connects four different national highways, with solar street lamps.
The Chennai bypass which connects, NH 4, NH 5, NH 205 and NH 45 has two stretches, from Perungalathur to Maduravoyal and from Maduravoyal to Madhavaram.
"We have taken up the installation of solar lighting to bring down the fatal accidents following a report submitted by the police department," a senior official in NHAI told TOI.
25 solar lights have been installed along the median by the authorities near Irumbuliyur and toll plaza at Porur during the first phase of the project.
Each panel combined with lights and four batteries cost a total of Rs 1.75 lakh and the batteries give a power backup of up to 14 hours. 15 more solar enabled street lights are yet to be erected in the accident prone areas of the road.
"We will check the functioning of the solar lights put up in the first phase. After rectifying the shortcomings, we will install the remaining lights. The panels have been fitted with timers, programmed to turn on the lights at 6pm and switch off at 6am," the official said.
The intiative comes after Chennai city police's traffic wing submitted a report to NHAI in 2017 citing poor lighting as the major factor that turned the stretch into one of deadliest for road users in Chennai.
"We are taking all efforts to make the stretch safe," the official said.

Q: ¿Como hacer animaciones o transiciones en JavaScript sin JQuery? ¿Como puedo hacer animaciones en JavaScript puro? sin tener que usar librerias como JQuery.
Por ejemplo cambiar el color de fondo de un div igual que la propiedad transition de CSS3.
Ejemplo:
    div{

        width: 120px;
        height: 120px;
        background: blue;
    }

    div:hover{

        background: red;

        transition-duration: 1s;
        transition-property: background;
    }

¿Como puedo hacer una transición similar o animaciones en JavaScript puro?

A: Una forma de emular ese comportamiento podría ser usando la función setInterval(), acceder a las propiedades del elemento, y cada determinado tiempo realizar una modificación.
En este caso he bajado la opacidad comenzando desde 0.99 hasta 0.50 y viceversa, además de cambiar el color cuando se cumplen ciertas condiciones.
Perdón si el código no ha quedado tan elegante.
Este ejemplo funciona al hacer click sobre el div.

var div = document.getElementById("principal");
var valor = 100;
var intervalo;
var decremento = true;

//establecemos valores al div
div.style.width = "120px";
div.style.height = "120px";
div.style.background = "blue";

function detener(){
 clearInterval(intervalo);
 //restablecemos valores
 valor = 100;
 decremento = true;
}

div.addEventListener("click", function(){
 intervalo = setInterval(function(){
  if (decremento){
   valor--;
  }
  else {
   valor++;
  }

  //al dividir por 100 obtenemos los decimales que toma la funcion opacity
  div.style.opacity = valor / 100;

  if (valor == 50) {
   if (div.style.background == "blue"){
    div.style.background = "red";
   }
   else{
    div.style.background = "blue";
   }
   decremento = false;
  }

  else if (valor == 100 && !decremento){
   detener()
  }

 }, 30);

});

The public is invited to a free open house at Dearborn's new train station, the John D. Dingell Transit Center, from 4-6 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 15.
The new transit center is at 21201 Michigan Ave., near Brady Street, at the entrance to the west downtown business district.
At the Dec. 15 open house, residents can tour the station, see informative displays and talk with people knowledgeable about the future of train travel. A mural created by Dearborn students will also be featured.
In addition, people attending the open house can enter a free drawing to win tickets to The Henry Ford's popular Holiday Nights in Greenfield Village.
The new station will open for business a few days before the open house.
Amtrak trains will begin stopping at the 21201 Michigan Ave. site on Wednesday, Dec. 10. Amtrak is moving its operations from the current train station behind the Dearborn Police Station.
The new 16,000-square-foot Dingell Transit Center promotes intermodal transportation, connecting travelers via train, bus, taxi and pedestrian and bike paths to work, education, cultural attractions, shopping and recreation in Dearborn and beyond.
The station is an important component in initiatives to boost commuter rail from Ann Arbor to Detroit and accelerated speed rail from Pontiac to Chicago.
Six Amtrak trains will continue to stop daily at Dingell Transit Center, with increased Amtrak service and the addition of commuter rail expected in the coming years. In fiscal year 2014, almost 79,000 passengers used the existing Dearborn Amtrak station.
The new transit center was funded entirely with $28.2 million from the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
The City of Dearborn owns the station and the 7-acre site, and Amtrak will run the facility.
The Henry Ford has historic displays inside the center, including an iconic Davenport train engine.
The transit center also features a pedestrian bridge over the tracks that will allow travelers to access a new entrance to The Henry Ford complex, including the Henry Ford Museum, Greenfield Village, the IMAX Theater, and Ford Rouge Factory Tours. About 1.6 million people a year visit The Henry Ford.
Ford Motor Company will plans on having a new F-150 on display at the transit center.
The transit center has a silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design (LEED). The building has a metal roof with solar collectors, energy efficient lighting, and geothermal heating and cooling.
Inside the building is also a large tile mural created by students and volunteers in the Pockets of Perception (POP) art project. The initiative, led by the Dearborn Community Fund, brings together high school students from across Dearborn to create community art. For the station, students designed the mural and enlisted volunteers to help create some of the tiles. A POP representative will be on hand during the open house to share more information about the project.

Thank you very much for your interest and support for my hour on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square on 14th September 2009.
As well as the encouragement of Prostate UK I was generously given the wines to taste by the excellent wine importer Caves de Pyrène and by Ridgeview, producer of top quality English sparkling wines, to whom I am very grateful.
Fortunately it didn't rain during my stint and, once I'd ditched the Prostate UK banner, the wind didn't cause too many problems, as long as I clutched my flipchart tightly and held on to my (plastic) glass! My hour passed very quickly but I managed to say all I wanted to before the green tumbrel appeared with the next plinther.
Many people turned out on the blustery evening to gaze up at me and vicariously enjoy the wines I was tasting, as well as cheering me on with the occasional pithy comment. And many people sent me messages of support and compliments through the main One and Other site, emails and social media. All of you put a spring in my step and gave me the confidence to 'get up there and do my stuff'.
I am very grateful too for the support that Wink gave me in preparing for this exciting adventure, especially in writing the press release.
Thank you all very much indeed, and for your support of Prostate UK.

Schwab to take $200 million charge on SEC investigation
Charles Schwab Corp. said it will take a $200 million charge in the second quarter related to a Securities and Exchange Commission probe of its robo-adviser platform.
The compliance inquiry relates to past disclosures around the firm's Schwab Intelligent Portfolios product, according to a regulatory filing Friday. The company said it's been cooperating with the SEC and its ultimate liability may differ from the amount it's earmarking now.
The SEC filed its first enforcement actions against robo-advisers in December 2018, accusing Wealthfront Advisers and another firm of making false statements about investment products and publishing misleading advertisements.
Wealthfront, which had more than $11 billion in client assets under management at the time, agreed to pay a $250,000 penalty without admitting or denying the findings.
Robo-advisers, which typically select low-cost exchange-traded funds for investors based on their risk tolerance and automatically rebalance the portfolios, have become increasingly popular across Wall Street, with Goldman Sachs Group Inc. rolling out such a product earlier this year. On its website, Schwab predicts assets managed by robo-advisers will grow to $460 billion next year, from $47.3 billion in 2015.
While the SEC has signaled it's more focused on cases against robo-advisers, it's brought relatively few cases. In one last month, the agency said it settled claims against a Canadian robo-adviser, Emperor Investments Inc., after the firm agreed to pay $25,000 over allegations it posted misleading performance data on its website.
The SEC didn't immediately respond to an email about the Schwab case sent to its press office outside of normal business hours.
Shares of the company, which have gained 36% this year, fell 1.7% to $72.34 at 9:44 a.m. in New York.
SEC GUIDANCE
Schwab said it had $64 billion in client assets in its robo-adviser product at the end of March. The firm has more than $7 trillion in client assets across 32 million active brokerage accounts.
Under U.S. securities rules, firms that offer advice to clients digitally through algorithms are required to make the same kind of disclosures as those whose representatives make suggestions to clients over the phone or in person. The agency put out guidance in February 2017 that detailed how its rules apply to the fast-growing industry, reminding firms to be careful not to mislead clients and ensure their disclosures are accurate and internal compliance programs are effective.
SEC Chair Gary Gensler, who took over the regulator in April, has signaled that he wants the agency to hold robo-advisers to the same standards as other investment firms.
"Technology is always changing the face of finance," Gensler said last month during City & Financial Global's London City Week event. "But our core principles stay the same: protecting investors, facilitating capital formation for individuals and companies and maintaining fair, orderly and efficient markets between them."

I've seen so many great tributes to Robin Williams in the past 24 hours. I hope he knows how much he affected others in a positive way. That, despite his inner torment, the fact that he made people laugh was able to penetrate the immense sadness he must have felt and give him some sort of peace … even if only for a little while. In fact, peace is something those of us with depression rarely feel.
A friend of mine recently broke my heart with a Facebook status update that said something about how she has an autoimmune disease and that, while she might look happy and healthy on the outside, the pain can be unbearable. It was such a simple statement and yet really had an impact on me, as my mother has had chronic pain her whole life but, to the outside world, she looks fine. In fact, she's gotten dirty looks and even comments from people for using her Handicapped placard.
Despite everything good in our lives, the negative thoughts persist in our minds and hearts. Its attack on ourselves feels silly, embarrassing, ridiculous, hateful, awful, confusing, shameful, and a whole bunch of other emotions. When I'm tired, it attacks the most, sensing the weakness within.
Physically, I'd consider myself one tough mother f*cker. In fact, when I was little, I had an unusually high pain tolerance. I went to bed once on a broken wrist that my parents didn't even know about until they saw me the next morning with an arm that had swollen to twice its size. I once let a man stand on my fingers at a baseball game until they were completely flattened because I didn't want to say anything. I sprained my ankle a week before my first marathon but ran it anyway, having to stop and get it taped about three times. And yet the feelings of melancholy can crush me like I'm a cancer-ridden 100-year-old.
I hate saying but the truth is I suffer from depression. Some days are great and others are horrible but, you know what, that's life. I have to learn to accept myself the way I am and not be afraid to talk to others about it. And if you need someone to listen, I'm your gal. In the meantime, when you're out and about doing your daily deeds, remember that things are not always as they seem. Be kind. Be gentle. Be aware that others might be suffering beyond belief despite that fancy, new car, perfect hair, or insanely clean house. Give meaningful hugs and warm smiles. You never know what those could do for someone who is feeling at the end of his rope.
RIP, Robin Williams. You were loved.

Need to relaunch Algerian-Italian joint committee on public works
February 24, 2017 ambalg Economy & Business
APS : Thursday, 23 February 2017
ALGIERS- Minister of Public Works and Transport Boujemaa Talai agreed, Thursday in Algiers, with Italian ambassador Pasquale Ferrara on the need to relaunch the Algerian-Italian joint committee on public works, said the Ministry in a statement.
During the discussions, the two sides agreed on the necessity to relaunch the action of the joint technical committee in the field of public works, with a view to strengthening partnership and developing a future programme of action in training, management and the building of roads, said the statement.
The two sides also examined means to strengthen cooperation and partnership between the two countries in the field of public works and transport.
Talai hailed the close relations between the two countries and the mutual trust, as well as the projects achieved by the Italian companies in Algeria within the framework of joint ventures, especially in some sections of the East-West motorway.
For his part, Ferrara underlined the close relations between Algeria and Italy and stressed the need to encourage the creation of joint ventures.

Commercial radio group, UKRD, has today published the results of its research into what people think of local radio and the messages delivered by its listeners could not be clearer.
"Yes!" was the answer to the question 'Is it a good thing that a local radio station is based in the area it broadcasts to?'. Dave Coull, the Group's Content Director, confirmed that respondents had agreed resoundingly that it was important that a radio station was based in the area it broadcasts to. "Except one, all 1,753 surveyed agreed," he said. "If you genuinely want to produce proper local radio our listeners believe it's better to be based in the area you serve" said Coull.
Whilst the FM frequency continues to be the most popular platform for local radio by some margin, the need for it to be available across multiple platforms was also clear. The research confirmed that many listeners now listen to their local radio station on a variety of digital platforms including DAB, mobile app and online.
The importance of local news was highlighted in the research with 88% of respondents describing it as either extremely important or important to them. Where listeners get their local news from was also clarified. Those surveyed confirmed they are twice as likely to get their local news from their local radio station, whether that be on-air or online, as they were from local newspapers (all platforms) and regional TV (all platforms) combined. "Whether it is the local news or the weather, having that content produced in the area it broadcasts to increases the likelihood that it will be correct, locallyrelevant and truly reflective of the location it is meant for,"Coull said.
On the 27th May some 40 local radio stations will be celebrating Local Radio Day, an initiative that will see events, tours and community events all focused on representing the unique nature of "proper local radio" and the impact it has on the communities it serves. "If other local radio stations would like to get involved we'd be delighted to hear from them" said Rogers.


This fall will mark the beginning of my fifth year offering a shamanic apprenticeship program. To date, 60 students have participated with me in some combination of foundational and continuing apprenticeship group programs and individual apprenticeship trainings. Each year, and especially as I begin to teach new advanced shamanic classes and workshops outside of the apprenticeship program, I find myself reflecting on what a shamanic apprenticeship really means and how it is different from other forms of advanced learning.
Since 2003, I have been offering standalone workshops, free journey circles, "teaching circles," and one-on-one teaching and healing sessions. Over time, the journey circles, in particular, became less and less satisfying, in spite of my belief in the importance of an ongoing shamanic community and affordable access to group shamanic work. I tried several different formats and locations, but I remained frustrated in my inability to sustain a circle fully supported by the spirits.
In the spring of 2012, I was shown the answer. I was in the midst of a deep relaxation during a yoga class when one of my shamanic helping spirits showed up and suggested that I make an herbal syrup to help heal an autoimmune condition in myself. Then he showed me what my journey circle should look like. I went home, wrote a description of the new "journey circle," and the apprenticeship program was born. The very first session filled with ten students – the number I was asking for.
There is a key difference in my mind between an apprenticeship program and a workshop or journey circle. It is the opportunity to learn deeply from the experiences of the practitioner.
Much can be learned from a workshop or class, and I try to bring the best of myself to anything I teach. Classes and workshops are somewhat limiting for me by their very nature. They are generally of short duration; participants can vary widely in their motivation, level of experience, and attitudes; and there is limited time to create a community for shared healing and learning. A journey circle is even more free-form, with widely varying levels of commitment, expectations, individual practices, and shared language that shift each time the circle meets.
Participants who enter my apprenticeship program bring with them a powerful desire to learn a particular healing path. They bring a high level of commitment, enthusiasm, and respect for the process and the group. Meeting as a private group of like-minded individuals over an extended period of time allows a relationship to develop as a community which is safe and supportive for each of the participants. We get to know each other. This is important for the participants, but also for the teacher.
There is much I don't teach in my standard workshops and classes because not everyone in the group is on the same wavelength or ready to go to the same depth. Some may misunderstand my teaching. Some may bring different energies or expectations into the room.
Not long ago, I read a description of a "bound shaman" healing ceremony supported by the patient's community. Everyone entered the room quietly and with respect. As the ceremony was about to begin, the first thing the shaman did was to look carefully around the room and ask three people to leave the healing space. Whatever it was those people had brought into the room with them, it would interfere with the healing work.
I have noticed the same effect with my teaching. The shared spirit of an apprenticeship group, developed over time, allows the deepest elements of my shamanic experience and way of being to come through because of my trust in the readiness of each individual to receive and honor that teaching.
It isn't that I am special. It is that I choose what to share in any particular setting. I learned long ago that shamanism isn't about the tools or techniques. They form a useful structure, but the real healing comes from personal relationship with particular healing spirits. Understanding and teaching the depth of what this means happens in the sacred space of an apprenticeship in a way it can't happen anywhere else.
For those of you who are wondering, I did go home and make the herbal syrup, too – the contents of which were given to me by further contact with my helping spirits. When I used the syrup, I immediately began to feel healthier, and within about two months I had weaned myself off of the medication I was taking and changed my relationship with allopathic medicine. I did not receive a miracle cure, but I have chosen a different pathway for understanding and supporting my health. That choice, in turn, opened up more pathways for spiritual growth, mental clarity, and happiness in my life. This experience wasn't about shamanic journeying, and it wasn't about yoga. It was about a deep connection with healing spirits which can only be mentored and fully appreciated over a period of time in a safe and sacred space.

A Broken Hill to-do list for first-time visitors
Broken Hill, also known as 'The Silver City', was shaped by underground riches.
Today this quirky mining hub in the far west of New South Wales also boasts a thriving cultural and artistic scene. Here are six must-dos for a first-time visitor to Broken Hill. Book your stay with Choice Hotels.
1. Unearth the city's arty side
There's a particular reason the Living Desert State Park, a 15-minute drive north of Broken Hill, is on every visitor's must-see list: the reserve features a dozen striking sandstone sculptures that glow red as the sun sinks over the stark semi-arid landscape. Smart visitors bring along a chilled beverage and glasses so they can toast this memory-making moment in style.
Broken Hill is home to about 50 working artists and many welcome visitors to their home studios. Fans of the late great Pro Hart, one of the Brushmen of the Bush, should visit Pro Hart Gallery, located on a suburban street in the city's north, or track down his Big Ant sculpture on the corner of Beryl and Bromide Streets. Another cultural must-visit is the Regional Art Gallery, which is housed in a picturesque former emporium on Argent Street.

2. Ogle the Line of Lode
First-time visitors will be astonished by the giant mullock heap (waste rock) bisecting the city. The landmark is a constant reminder that Broken Hill was forged in the mining of an enormous boomerang-shaped deposit of silver, lead and zinc known as the Line of Lode (the mullock heap is known by the same name). That mining history is bittersweet. A poignant memorial crowning the heap honours more than 800 miners who have died while working here. The memorial includes a lookout that offers sweeping views over the city and beyond.

3. Party at The Palace
For a sassy night out, head to The Palace Hotel on a Wednesday for drag karaoke hosted by desert diva Amanda Screetly. You can also pop in at other times to inspect the hotel's extraordinary murals – including a re-creation of Botticelli's Birth of Venus – which cover the walls and ceilings. The one-of-a-kind hotel found fame when it starred in the 1994 film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

4. Drink in the nostalgia
You could spend days photographing Broken Hill's historic buildings such as the ornate Victorian-era Trades Hall and the corrugated iron miners' shacks that line many streets. Another much-photographed building, Bells Milk Bar in South Broken Hill, exudes vintage glamour. Order an old-fashioned soda spider or malted milkshake, made with original recipe syrups and cordials. Happy days, indeed.

5. Grab a bite
Broken Hill knows how to do a potato justice. Two of the city's must-try snacks are pasties from Old McLeod's Bakery (available from several outlets) and crinkle-cut Rag's chips (from Ragenovich Brothers Chickens in Oxide Street). For something fancier, head to The Silly Goat for breakfast, brunch or lunch (if it's 40 outside, try the cookie waffle ice-cream sandwich!). The café's sourdough comes from Sufi Bakery – swing past its window to pick up a pastry. One of the most elegant evening dining rooms is found within the Royal Exchange – a grand Art Deco hotel.
Savour delicious treats at The Silly Goat. Image: Destination NSW
6. Plan a side-trip
Silverton, 24 kilometres north-west of Broken Hill, is known as the 'Hollywood of the Outback'. Head to the Mundi Mundi Lookout just out of town to see why the former silver mining town attracts filmmakers and photographers. Return to tiny Silverton to visit the post-apocalyptic Mad Max 2 Museum, run by obsessed Yorkshireman Adrian Bennett, the studio-gallery of affable artist John Dynon, known as the Emu Man for his caricatures of the birds roaming the countryside, and the photogenic Silverton Hotel.

Another side-trip can be made to Sunset Strip, 90 kilometres south of Broken Hill. Here, weekenders front the currently dry Lake Menindee. Take in the strange view or play a round of golf on the red-dirt course. The village is planning to create a Walk of Fame to honour stars such as Broken Hill-born actor Chips Rafferty.
Explore Silverton. Image: Bigstock
Comfort Inn Crystal is located right in the heart of Broken Hill and offers easy access to the city's key heritage sites and attractions. There are 42 comfortably furnished rooms on offer, and guests enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi.

Introducing the DeLaval Parlor milking system P500
May 1 2019 01:44 PM
The new milking system represents a significant step forward in managing the milking process and cow flow
After a period of previewing the system at North American tradeshows, DeLaval announced the official launch of the DeLaval Parlor milking system P500 – the next evolution of parallel parlors. Its unique design represents a new approach to moving cows calmly, quickly and efficiently through the milking process. It is the dairy industry's only parallel parlor with three cow-flow control options and no sequence gates in the floor.
"The DeLaval Parlor P500 has been designed to do more on a smaller footprint, making it an ideal choice for both news builds and retrofits," Gavin Strang, DeLaval Market Development Manager, Capital Equipment, said.
Highland Dairy of Glade Spring, Va. is a third-generation dairy farm milking 550 cows. When owner Rena Johnson spoke to her DeLaval dealer, Tri-City Dairy Equipment, about securing the sustainable, profitable growth of her family's farm, she embraced the possibility of updating their operation with a DeLaval Parlor P500. As the new system's first global reference farm, Highland Dairy started milking cows in its double-16 P500 in January 2019. Johnson is satisfied with the parlor's better throughput, greater milk production and improved comfort for cows and employees.
"Before, we were using the parlor about 19 hours a day milking a modified 2x," Johnson said of their old double-12 herringbone parlor. "Now, we're milking (all cows) 3x, about 15 hours a day in the (new) parlor. It's just so much better for us for throughput and efficiency, and we've gained an additional five pounds of milk. The cows really love the barn, and that tickles me to see them in there."
The DeLaval P500 features all of the significant functionalities of the existing DeLaval parlor assortment, plus a newly developed synchronized milking process with these patented technologies:
DeLaval SynchroArc™ is more than an open-bottom neck rail with no obstructions. Its design promotes free-cow flow for optimum throughput, offers better indexing of mixed herds, and accommodates a 30 percent smaller footprint.* Ceiling heights can be as low as 96 inches.
DeLaval SynchroSweep™ features independently controlled, suspended, non-overlapping sequence gates, which also lift up during milking to minimize stress on cows and components. This design and process creates a quieter environment that can speed up cow-exit cycle times by 56 percent.*
DeLaval SynchroControl™ puts the operation of the milking system at the fingertips of the dairy producer. This feature makes it possible to configure multiple indexing management styles, contributing to its safe, comfortable and efficient operation.
InService™ All-Inclusive (ISAI) for DeLaval Parlor P500 is a customer service program designed to enhance the reliability and performance of the milking system. ISAI provides service, consumables, advisory and everything in between on a contract basis so the customer knows his or her costs up front. DeLaval InService™ All-Inclusive provides farmers with time to focus on the business of dairy farming with the peace of mind that the system is running at peak performance.
The Next Evolution of Parallel Parlors
The P500 signifies a new approach in parallel parlors for DeLaval. In North America, this new milking technology will supersede the company's previous parallel parlor models (Champion™, Cascade™ and Endurance™).
"The DeLaval P500 simplifies our parallel parlor offering while continuing to deliver the quality, reliability and longevity our milking systems are known for," Strang said. "It has the potential to increase dairy producers' profitability, reduce their costs and help them be more efficient with labor."
*Data collected on test farms and pilot farms. Data compared to DeLaval Champion. Results may vary depending on farm conditions.
About DeLaval
DeLaval is a worldwide leader in milking equipment and solutions for dairy farmers, which make sustainable food production possible, warranting milk quality and animal health. Our solutions are used by millions of dairy farmers around the globe every day.
DeLaval was founded more than 135 years ago in Sweden, when the visionary Gustaf de Laval patented the cream separator. Today, DeLaval has 4,500 employees and operates in more than 100 markets. DeLaval, alongside Tetra Pak and Sidel, is part of the Tetra Laval Group. See more at www.delavalcorporate.com

Conservation of the RB1 gene in human and primates

Mutations in the RB1 gene are associated with retinoblastoma, which has served as an important model for understanding hereditary predisposition to cancer. Despite the great scrutiny that RB1 has enjoyed as the prototypical tumor suppressor gene, it has never been the object of a comprehensive survey of sequence variation in diverse human populations and primates. Therefore, we analyzed the coding (2,787 bp) and adjacent intronic and untranslated (7,313 bp) sequences of RB1 in 137 individuals from a wide range of ethnicities, including 19 Asian Indian hereditary retinoblastoma cases, and five primate species. Aside from nine apparently disease-associated mutations, 52 variants were identified. They included six singleton, coding variants that comprised five amino acid replacements and one silent site. Nucleotide diversity of the coding region (pi=0.0763+/-1.35 x 10(-4)) was 52 times lower than that of the noncoding regions (pi=3.93+/-5.26 x 10(-4)), indicative of significant sequence conservation. The occurrence of purifying selection was corroborated by phylogeny-based maximum likelihood analysis of the RB1 sequences of human and five primates, which yielded an estimated ratio of replacement to silent substitutions (omega) of 0.095 across all lineages. RB1 displayed extensive linkage disequilibrium over 174 kb, and only four unique recombination events, two in Africa and one each in Europe and Southwest Asia, were observed. Using a parsimony approach, 15 haplotypes could be inferred. Ten were found in Africa, though only 12.4% of the 274 chromosomes screened were of African origin. In non-Africans, a single haplotype accounted for from 63 to 84% of all chromosomes, most likely the consequence of natural selection and a significant bottleneck in effective population size during the colonization of the non-African continents.

1. You select the dimensions and measures you want to be covered in the narrative, and then characterize them.
2. You select the kind of analysis you want to perform (e.g. descriptive statistics, trends, variance) and then provide the necessary parameters.
3. You preview the generated text to decide on how much narrative you want – something brief, or something more comprehensive.
You'll begin by downloading a sample Tableau workbook. Next, you'll import Arria's custom visual into a dashboard. After that, you'll provide some information about your data and the kind of things you would like to say about it in a narrative. Then, with the click of a button, you'll generate a narrative from your data.
1. In the Arria extension widget, click Configure Narrative.
Tell me about your data. Here, you characterize your data.
Tell me what type of analysis you want. Here, you select the kind of analysis you want to perform.
Tell me how to say it. Here, you select whether you want to see a summary of the facts from the analysis, all the facts, or something in between.
Follow the instructions in the widget to fill in relevant details about the data you have selected for the narrative. Check the Basics and the Reference sections below for further information about the things the widget is asking of you.
Scrolling in the widget. Note the scroll bar at the right side of the widget. Use this to make sure you're seeing all the dimensions and measures for your selected data, and all the characteristics that can be customized.
Prioritizing of data fields. Use the grab bars at the top left of each dimension and measure to move them up or down in the widget. The higher the appearance in the widget, the higher the priority for description in the narrative generated.
Copy and paste. If you want to copy the narrative generated to paste elsewhere, you can hover in the top-right corner of the widget to find the copy icon. Click this icon to copy the narrative to your clipboard.
This can be an alternative name of the field in Tableau, for example, the field "COGS" could have the alias "Cost of Goods and Services".
Note: The alias can be different from the field name, but it doesn't have to be.
For time-based variance, specify how you would like measures to be compared (e.g. Latest vs. previous, Latest vs earliest).
This type of analysis looks at the strength of a relationship between measures.
For variance (time-based and target-based), specify an amount from 0 to 100. The amount you specify is the number of drivers or offsets contributing to the percent-coverage of the variance. For example: when the entities are ranked in terms of contribution, if the coverage is 80%, the system selects drivers or offsets that contribute to 80% of the variance; the system leaves out the bottom 20%.
A dimension is an attribute or a column in your data that contains categorical values. Examples of dimensions include Product, Country, and Date. In your analysis, if you want to analyze numerical attributes such as Sales or Profit, how do you want to analyze them? By Country? By Product? By Date? Those are dimensions.
This type of analysis describes how the data is distributed through the range of dimensions (e.g. Products, Countries, Segments). Selecting this option gives you more insights into the skew of the data, if it exists.
For variance analysis, choose between Top 1 and Top 5 for how many entities you want mentioned in the narrative. For example, "The top-three performing regions were…". What you are doing here is choosing which algorithm will determine the contributing drivers and offsets.
For characterizing dimensions and measures, the choices of known entity types include DateTime, Location, and Currency. If none of the known types apply, leave this selection blank.
Selecting this option gives you a narrative of the filtered facts based on a ranking algorithm.
For descriptive statistics, this is the on/off switch for distributional analysis. If you want distributional analysis included in your narrative, check this box.
A measure is an attribute or a column that contains numerical values, such as Sales, Profit, or Temperature.
For correlations analysis, specify the measures you want to consider in the analysis. If you have more than two, click +Add measures to add more.
For time-based variance, select a time period. Options include Month, Quarter, and Year.
For descriptive statistics, do you want the system to rank statistical insights based on the significance of the facts or insights it finds? Or based on the selected order of the dimensions in the order you have them placed in Step 1 Tell me about your data?
Let Arria's algorithms decide priority.
Selecting this option gives you a narrative of the filtered facts based on a ranking algorithm, in a more concise way than the Important Things option.
This is for when you want to report on the variance of two measures, such as Actual Sales vs Target Sales or Actual Expenditure vs Budgeted Expenditure, for a single time period.
Selecting this option gives you a narrative of every fact that Arria's Insight API extracts from your data.
This is for when you want to report on the variance of a measure in two time periods, such as in the current month vs the previous month or the current quarter vs the same quarter of the previous year.
NLG Studio supports 10 ISO codes, and in narratives, these are converted to symbols. Anything other than the 10 ISO codes supported by Studio are created as a unit and appear in the narrative after the corresponding numerical value. Note: You must enter an entity type in order to use Unit.

Q: Java - Create String Array from text file I have a text file like this :
abc def jhi
klm nop qrs
tuv wxy zzz

I want to have a string array like :
String[] arr = {"abc def jhi","klm nop qrs","tuv wxy zzz"}

I've tried :
try
    {
        FileInputStream fstream_school = new FileInputStream("text1.txt");
        DataInputStream data_input = new DataInputStream(fstream_school);
        BufferedReader buffer = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(data_input));
        String str_line;
        while ((str_line = buffer.readLine()) != null)
        {
            str_line = str_line.trim();
            if ((str_line.length()!=0))
            {
                String[] itemsSchool = str_line.split("\t");
            }
        }
    }
catch (Exception e)
    {
     // Catch exception if any
        System.err.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
    }

Anyone help me please....
All answer would be appreciated...

A: Use a BufferedReader to read the file, read each line using readLine as strings, and put them in an ArrayList on which you call toArray at end of loop.

A: If you use Java 7 it can be done in two lines thanks to the Files#readAllLines method:
List<String> lines = Files.readAllLines(yourFile, charset);
String[] arr = lines.toArray(new String[lines.size()]);

A: Based on your input you are almost there. You missed the point in your loop where to keep each line read from the file. As you don't a priori know the total lines in the file, use a collection (dynamically allocated size) to get all the contents and then convert it to an array of String (as this is your desired output).
Something like this:
    String[] arr= null;
    List<String> itemsSchool = new ArrayList<String>();

    try
    {
        FileInputStream fstream_school = new FileInputStream("text1.txt");
        DataInputStream data_input = new DataInputStream(fstream_school);
        BufferedReader buffer = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(data_input));
        String str_line;

        while ((str_line = buffer.readLine()) != null)
        {
            str_line = str_line.trim();
            if ((str_line.length()!=0))
            {
                itemsSchool.add(str_line);
            }
        }

        arr = (String[])itemsSchool.toArray(new String[itemsSchool.size()]);
    }

Then the output (arr) would be:
{"abc def jhi","klm nop qrs","tuv wxy zzz"}

This is not the optimal solution. Other more clever answers have already be given. This is only a solution for your current approach.

A: This is my code to generate random emails creating an array from a text file.
import java.io.*;

public class Generator {
    public static void main(String[]args){

        try {

            long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
            String[] firstNames = new String[4945];
            String[] lastNames = new String[88799];
            String[] emailProvider ={"google.com","yahoo.com","hotmail.com","onet.pl","outlook.com","aol.mail","proton.mail","icloud.com"};
            String firstName;
            String lastName;
            int counter0 = 0;
            int counter1 = 0;
            int generate = 1000000;//number of emails to generate

            BufferedReader firstReader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("firstNames.txt"));
            BufferedReader lastReader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("lastNames.txt"));
            PrintWriter write = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter("emails.txt", false));

            while ((firstName = firstReader.readLine()) != null) {
                firstName = firstName.toLowerCase();
                firstNames[counter0] = firstName;
                counter0++;
            }
            while((lastName= lastReader.readLine()) !=null){
                lastName = lastName.toLowerCase();
                lastNames[counter1]=lastName;
                counter1++;
            }

            for(int i=0;i<generate;i++) {
                write.println(firstNames[(int)(Math.random()*4945)]
                        +'.'+lastNames[(int)(Math.random()*88799)]+'@'+emailProvider[(int)(Math.random()*emailProvider.length)]);
            }
            write.close();
            long end = System.currentTimeMillis();

            long time = end-start;

            System.out.println("it took "+time+"ms to generate "+generate+" unique emails");

        }
        catch(IOException ex){
            System.out.println("Wrong input");
        }
    }
}

A: You can read file line by line using some input stream or scanner and than store that line in String Array.. A sample code will be..
 File file = new File("data.txt");

        try {
            //
            // Create a new Scanner object which will read the data
            // from the file passed in. To check if there are more
            // line to read from it we check by calling the
            // scanner.hasNextLine() method. We then read line one
            // by one till all line is read.
            //
            Scanner scanner = new Scanner(file);
            while (scanner.hasNextLine()) {
                String line = scanner.nextLine();
                //store this line to string [] here
                System.out.println(line);
            }
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

A:     Scanner scanner = new Scanner(InputStream);//Get File Input stream here
    StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
    while (scanner.hasNextLine()) {
        builder.append(scanner.nextLine());
        builder.append(" ");//Additional empty space needs to be added
    }
    String strings[] = builder.toString().split(" ");
    System.out.println(Arrays.toString(strings));

A: You can use the readLine function to read the lines in a file and add it to the array.
Example :
  File file = new File("abc.txt");
  FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(file);
  BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(fin);

  List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
  while((String str = reader.readLine())!=null){
     list.add(str);
  }

  //convert the list to String array
  String[] strArr = Arrays.toArray(list);

The above array contains your required output.
