St. Mary's County Public Schools' Great Mills High School Increases Graduation Rate from 76% to 84%
Leonardtown, MD and Seattle, WA - August 28, 2012 - St. Mary's County Public Schools today announced Great Mills High School increased its four year adjusted cohort graduation rate by 8 percentage points in one year, from 76% in 2011 to a projected 84% in 2012. Superintendent Mr. Michael Martirano attributes much of the increase to the school using Apex Learning® digital curriculum in a new blended learning program.
The district launched the Blended Learning Program at Great Mills High School last fall to provide students opportunities for remediation and credit recovery. Great Mills High School reported that 1 in 5 students who gratuated this year had participated in the program. "Many of these students wouldn't have graduated on time without this opportunity, " said Martirano. Overall, the district recorded the largest overall graduating class in its history.
One of the challenges of remediation and credit recovery programs is that each students is starting at a different point and has a unique set of needs. In this blended learning program, Apex Learning online courses provided direct instruction and formative and summative assessment, allowing each student to focus on the specific content he or she had yet to master and to move at his or her own pace. The classroom teacher was able to engage one on one with each student, using real-time data to monitor student progress and performance and determine the best way to help each student achieve.
"We regularly hear from students engaged in our digital curriculum that they feel empowered, in charge of their own learning," said Cheryl Vedoe, CEO of Apex Learning. "Research shows when this occurs, performance increases and learning accelerates. Students stay in school, earn credits, and achieve at higher levels, resulting in increased graduation rates".
This fall the district will expand the blended learning program to serve students at Leonardtown and Chopticon High Schools. "We are so pleased with the results at Great Mills, it made sense to expand the program to address the needs of students across the district," said Great Mills High School Principal Jake Heibel.
The program is part of a partnership with America's Promise Alliance Grad Nation campaign and Apex Learning®. The goal of the Grad Nation campaign is to increase the nation's overall high school graduation rate to 90 percent by 2020. "Increasing access to high quality digital learning for more youth can improve our chances of achieving our goal, chaning outcomes and ultimately succeeding as a nation," said Elizabeth Morgan, PhD, executive director, Grad Nation Campaign, America's Promise Alliance.

In past articles, I have discussed several alternatives to outdoor roadwork. Many athletes had expressed concern regarding their inability to run in the winter due to snow and ice covered roads.
In addition to the previously discussed options, you can use resistance bands to perform an indoor sprint alternative. In the sample video above, I have demonstrated a brief sprint workout performed with a strong flex band.
By attaching the band to a pole, you will quickly have yourself a convenient indoor sprint station. Simply stand inside the band, with the band at waist level. Sprint forward, as far as you can (or until the wall stops you). The tension from the band will then draw you back towards the starting point. Immediately repeat the sprint effort. Maintain a brisk pace, sprinting in and out as fast as possible.
Band sprints are ideal for interval training. A sample workout could include 30 second intervals, followed by 30 seconds of rest. You will sprint forward as many times as possible in 30 seconds. Rest for 30 seconds and continue. Perform 5 to 10 intervals.
This brief session is ideal for indoor interval training.
To purchase bands suitable for band sprints, check the selection available at Iron Woody Fitness. Their bands are well made and reasonably priced.

Introducing Chef John Zucker
Libby Wiersema
Libby Wiersema lived in California and Alabama before settling in South Carolina 35 years ago, where she's covered the state's best culinary offerings and tells the stories behind the food.
More from "Libby Wiersema"
Chef John Zucker has literally been catering to Charleston diners since 2000. When he opened Cru Catering, he distinguished himself by creating high-end dishes for a discerning clientele. Nearly two decades later, his catering business not only continues to be a crowd-pleaser, but Zucker is now proprietor of two other popular establishments: Cru Café and the French-influenced, Purlieu. That kind of prolific success is to be expected from someone who graduated from Le Cordon Bleu at the top of his class. Zucker's in-depth knowledge and experience has also made him one of the most highly regarded restaurant consultants in the Southeast. Locally, that expertise was key in the establishment of such iconic eateries as Husk and 39 Rue de Jean.
In a celebration of Lowcountry dining traditions, Zucker has implemented local seafood and Southern-inspired dishes as common themes in his restaurants. But the menus reveal what his many fans already know: There's nothing common about Zucker's creations.
"I think of my culinary style as somewhat Southern-fusion," he said. "I like to take a traditional Southern dish and add different elements from my culinary history to make it stand out."
The offerings at Purlieu are a perfect example, with dishes that pair Lowcountry and French cuisine - a nod to Zucker's Paris years. At Cru Café, influences reflect his stint at Spago, yet another pivotal chapter in his career.
"In Las Vegas, I worked at Wolfgang Puck's Spago, where I learned the importance of utilizing the freshest possible ingredients daily," he said. "And that's something so important to me now in my own restaurants."
A Los Angeles native, Zucker embarked on his career in Colorado when he was 28. Then it was on to culinary school in Paris where he cemented his career path.
"I have always been drawn to the excitement of being on the line and feeding people in restaurants," he said. "I love the creative aspect of playing with ingredients and flavors and creating a dish that really resonates with guests."
In 1995, he made his way to the Southeast where he assisted with the opening of the Atlanta restaurant, Canoe. He followed that by serving as consultant for the opening of Sonoma, a former wine bar in Charleston. Like so many people who visit the Holy City, Zucker was enamored with the welcoming vibe and beauty of the Lowcountry. He was here to stay, and remains dedicated to showcasing the best of local foods while providing diners with a taste of the world.
"Food has the ability to transport people to a different time and place," Zucker said, "and that's so powerful."

Q: Jsoup Remove Everything before a H2 tag I have my HTML source that I get from a website using Jsoup.connect() method. Following is an piece of code from that HTML source (link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/workload-component-id-vs-community)
.....

When you set dependencies in your VSIX manifest, you must specify Component IDs
   only. Use the tables on this page to determine our minimum component dependencies.
   In some scenarios, this might mean that you specify only one component from a workload.
   In other scenarios, it might mean that you specify multiple components from a single
   workload or multiple components from multiple workloads. For more information, see
   the
How to: Migrate Extensibility Projects to Visual Studio 2017 page.

.....

Visual Studio core editor (included with Visual Studio Community 2017)

.....

What I want to do using jsoup is that, I would like to remove every single Html piece before
Visual Studio core editor (included with Visual Studio Community 2017)

,and everything after (including)
See also

I have a solution like this, but this pretty much didnt work for me:
        try {
            document = Jsoup.connect(Constants.URL).get();
        }
        catch (IOException iex) {
            iex.printStackTrace();
        }
        document = Parser.parse(document.toString().replaceAll(".*?Visual Studio 2017 Workload and Component IDs page.
", "") , Constants.URL);
        document = Parser.parse(document.toString().replaceAll("
See also
?.*", "") , Constants.URL);
        return null;

Any help would be appreciated.

A: Simple way could be: get the whole html of the page as a string, make a substring of the part you need and parse that substring once again with jsoup.
        Document doc = Jsoup.connect("https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/workload-component-id-vs-community").get();
        String html = doc.html().substring(doc.html().indexOf("visual-studio-core-editor-included-with-visual-studio-community-2017")-8,
                                           doc.html().indexOf("unaffiliated-components")-8);
        Document doc2 = Jsoup.parse(html);
        System.out.println(doc2);

A: I'll just make a small change to @eritrean s answer above. There is small modification to be made for me to get the required output.
document = Jsoup.parse(document.html().substring(document.html().indexOf("visual-studio-core-editor-included-with-visual-studio-community-2017")-26,
                document.html().indexOf("see-also")-8));
System.out.println(document);

Sister of Mary Smith and William Smith of Grenada (each of whom q.v.).
Will of Sarah Smith of [Bulstrode Street] Saint Marylebone proved 13/07/1810. In the will she confirmed the conditions of her sister's will concerning the New Division estate, of which she received the income for life, which was to be sold after her death. After monetary legacies of £100 each to family and friends, her residuary legatees were her and her sister Mary's seven godchildren, including members of the Mildmay and Blois families.
PROB 11/1513/212. This 'New Division' estate appears to be distinct from that of the same name owned by Walter Tullideph and bequeathed by him to the Ogilvy family through his daughter Charlotte, who married Sir John Ogilvy 5th bart.

Paris City Hall votes in favour of bidding for 2024 Olympics
By Hugo Lowell • Updated: 13/04/2015
[UPDATE-1] Paris is ever closer to submitting a bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics after the City Hall of Paris gave its backing on Monday morning.
The bid, which is now likely to be formally declared by the French National Olympic Committee, has the full support of French President Francois Hollande and the Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo.
"This is an historic vote which marks an important moment of our collective life," Hidalgo told reporters. "We are now committed to the Olympic adventure."
Hidalgo said that Paris hosting the Olympics would benefit the country's fledgling economy while making the northern suburbs of the Seine Saint-Denis region more accessible.
It is understood that the State, the French National Olympic Committee and the Paris region will form an association to finalise its bid, while the candidacy itself would be led by triple Olympic champion Tony Estanguet and World Rugby chief Bernard Lapasset.
"Sport has given Paris its shape, and it should keep doing so," said the assistant to the mayor of Paris for sport, Jean-Francois Martins.
He added the cost of bidding would be in the region of 60 million euros, partly crowd-funded.
The infrastructure budget for a Games in Paris has been estimated at three billion euros, with operational costs of a further three billion euros.
Boston, Rome and Hamburg have already announced their intention to bid, while cities from Hungary, Azerbaijan and South Africa are also expected to join the race for the 2024 Games.
Paris last hosted the Olympics in 1924 while its last three bid attempts in 1992, 2008 and 2012 ended in failure.
Bids for the 2024 Olympics must be submitted to the International Olympic Committee by September 15, with the host city decided at a congress in 2017.

Home > Products > One Morning—
By Rebecca Wolff
ISBN# 9781940696133 (6x8.25 176pp, paperback)
ISBN# 9781940696126 (6x8.25 176pp, limited edition hardcover)
Poet, novelist, and Fence founder Rebecca Wolff's internal monologue made external in poetry is uncanny. Her musical and darkly funny fourth collection, One Morning—, spans language, culture, art history, love, passion, grief, consumerism, environmental devastation, and the ekphrastic experience of pop and high culture. She experiments with torque, energy, narrative—two steps ahead of herself with the reader on her heels.
One Morning— is a book about surfaces, about their complexity, inescapability, transience. Here, there may be no other art but the ekphrastic. In the famous Platonic scheme, where eternal forms are represented imperfectly in the world, nothing could be intellectually lower than ekphrasis. But maybe no other sort of knowledge exists. This is the suspicion of One Morning—, that there might be no other truth than the perception of surface, one surface indicating another, and the translation from one kind of surface into another kind…
Jonathan Regier, Jacket2
Wolff, who started out big with a National Poetry Series win for her first collection, Manderley, and won the Barnard Women Poets Prize for her second, The King, uses spare, twisting language in this fourth collection, which is deeply, reflectively personal yet sharply aware of the world.
Barbara Hoffert, Library Journal
In her fourth collection, Wolff … hits with constant flashes of humor and revelation in poems as tightly controlled as they are varied. [Its] wide range is one of the collection's finest qualities, with poems conjuring music out of fragmentation, narrative prose, rapid repetition, simple lyric imagery, and unexpected syntax.
The poems… are full of ragged and sometimes sharp edges, both in form and content. These are not the abrupt disjunctions of the virtual world but something closer to a messiness of the heart and body… As a writer, editor, and publisher Wolff has for almost two decades fought on behalf of the unexpected, and One Morning— is her best book of poetry yet. It speaks to both ghosts and a very real world.
Alan Gilbert, Boston Review
[One Morning—] is a highly refined piece of work from a woman very much in control of her craft. The level of Rebecca Wolff's control shines through in the entire piece. There is juxtaposition in each sentence and stanza…The [lines] are full of heart and compassion, yet still quite cerebral.
Benjamin Champagne, NewPages
Hers is a world desiring transfiguration, the renewal of harmonic convergence of self and outside-self. In this, [Wolff] is a romantic revolutionary, an exemplary detour from the dichotomous categorization of poets as being either experimental or lyrical. Yes, Wolff's work affirms, you can have it both ways and in fact be both.
Jon Curley, Hyperallergic
The all-encompassing nature of the book is part of what makes Rebecca Wolff's One Morning— brilliant. Perhaps the seeming lack of cohesion is what pushes the reader to burn through the 150+ pages. The poems spread like wildfire.
Heather Lang, The Literary Review
Wolff 's work is filled with motion and trajectory…Wolff creates works that are open, that need to be filled, and she brings the reader into the role of figuring out what they want that fullness to look like. If only all American poetry were so empowering.
Greg Bem, Rain Taxi
Rebecca Wolff is the author of four collections of poetry, one novel, and numerous pieces of occasional prose. Her first book, Manderley, was selected for the National Poetry Series by Robert Pinsky. Her second, Figment, was selected for the Barnard Women Poets Prize by Claudia Rankine and Eavan Boland. Her third, The King, was published by W. W. Norton in 2009. Her novel The Beginners was published by Riverhead in 2011. Most recently, One Morning— was published by Wave Books in 2015. She is a graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop and has been a fellow at the MacDowell Colony and the Millay Colony for the Arts. In 1998, Wolff founded the influential literary journal Fence; in 2001 she founded Fence Books and launched The Constant Critic website.

The White Duck Beneath the Waves
The White Duck illustrated by Ivan Bilibin
The Russian folktale Белая уточка (The White Duck) also bears some resemblance to the story of Лебединое озеро (Swan Lake) ballet, and may have been another possible source. The contemporaries of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky recalled the composer taking great interest in the life story of Bavarian King Ludwig II, whose tragic life had supposedly been marked by the sign of Swan and who—either consciously or not—was chosen as the prototype of the dreamer Prince Siegfried.
Audrey Hepburn received a Tony Award for her theatrical performance in the 1954 Broadway play Ondine, directed by Alfred Lunt
The original Swan Lake was based on the story of Ondine, a German myth with a theme common in Romanticism that was adapted by Hans Christian Andersen for his story The Little Mermaid.
In that German tale known as Sleep of Ondine, Ondine (from Latin: Unda, "a wave") is a water nymph. She was very beautiful and, like all nymphs, immortal. However, should she fall in love with a mortal man and bear his child, she would lose her immortality.
Undine beneath the waves of the Danube. Illustration by Arthur Rackham
Ondine eventually falls in love with a handsome knight, Sir Lawrence, and they are married. When they exchange vows, Lawrence vows to forever love and be faithful to her. A year after their marriage, Ondine gives birth to his child. From that moment on she begins to age. As Ondine's physical attractiveness diminishes, Lawrence loses interest in his wife.
One afternoon, Ondine is walking near the stables when she hears the familiar snoring of her husband. When she enters the stable, she sees Lawrence lying in the arms of another woman. Ondine points her finger at him, which he feels as if kicked, waking him up with surprise. Ondine curses him, stating, "You swore faithfulness to me with every waking breath, and I accepted your oath. So be it. As long as you are awake, you shall have your breath, but should you ever fall asleep, then that breath will be taken from you and you will die!
In Marcel Proust's Remembrance of Past Things, Volume II: Madame Swann at Home, the narrator's girlfriend Gilberte is referred to as Undine: "… she assumed that vague air, full of reticence and kept secrets…like the Undine that she was…"
And Genesis' 1973 song Firth of Fifth (from the album Selling England by the Pound) makes reference to Ondinal Songs.

Emil Stejnar (* 21. Januar 1939 in Wien) ist ein österreichischer Goldschmied, Produktdesigner von Leuchten und Spiegeln, Okkultist, Astrologe und Autor.

Leben
Stejnar machte eine Ausbildung zum Gold- und Silberschmied. In den 1950er und frühen 1960er Jahren entwarf er sowohl mehrere Hänge-, Decken- und Wandleuchten für den Wiener Leuchtenhersteller Rupert Nikoll als auch mit Kristallglasblumen verzierte Spiegel. Seine Leuchten empfand er oft Sternenexplosionen nach. Sein bekanntestes Objekt ist die Sputnik-Leuchte, die auch Pusteblume- oder Schneeball-Leuchte betitelt wird. Mit seinem Entwurf inspirierte er andere Designer der Space Age-Ära zu Entwürfen eigener futuristischer Lampen. Seine Arbeiten gehören zur Stilrichtung des Mid-century modern.

Stejnar wanderte 1957 nach Schweden aus. Dort betrieb er eine Schmuckwerkstätte und widmete sich okkulten Studien. 1968 heiratete er und kehrte in seine Geburtsstadt Wien zurück. Sein besonderes Interesse galt der Freimaurerei und der Astrologie, weil er dort, nach eigenen Aussagen, die Schnittstellen fand, die die "Welt des Geistes" mit der "Welt der Materie", also die Welt der Esoterik mit der Welt der Wissenschaft verbinden. Er war zwanzig Jahre lang Leiter des Instituts für wissenschaftliche Schicksalsforschung. 1990 gründete er im Rahmen der freimaurerischen Forschungsloge Quatuor Coronati den "Esoterischen Kreis", um Magie und Mystik in der Freimaurerei und in der christlichen Tradition zu erforschen.

Als Astrologe beschäftigte er sich mit den Werken Franz Bardons, dem er sich auch geistig verbunden fühlt. In Kooperation mit Heinz Fidelsberger von der Wiener Astrologischen Gesellschaft bemühte er sich um eine Abgrenzung der Astrologie von der Wahrsagerei. Die Anerkennung der kommerziellen Beschäftigung mit der Astrologie durch die Gewerbeämter Österreichs war ihm ein Anliegen.

Lehren
Stejnar postulierte die Existenz "menschlicher feinstofflicher Körper" und "Bewusstseinsfelder", die er als "kosmobiologische Struktur psychophysischer Kraftfelder" und "übergeordnete Seelenorgane" bezeichnete. Diese besäßen Entsprechungen zu "astrologischen Planetenprinzipien". Emil Stejnars gnostisch und hermetisch geprägte Lebensbewältigungskonzepte enthalten Praktiken und Übungen zur "Charakterveredelung" und zur Schulung der Willens- und Vorstellungskraft zwecks Erlangung von Selbsterkenntnis.

Publikationen
Stejnars Werke erschienen anfangs in kleinen Auflagen im Eigenverlag. Ab 2007 verlegte der Ibera Verlag seine ersten zehn Bücher (Band 1 bis Band 10). Seit 2018 werden diese im Stejnar Verlag neu aufgelegt (Edition Magie und Mystik im 3. Jahrtausend) und um zwei Titel (Band 11 und 12) erweitert.

Kashmir: Family of civilian killed in CRPF firing says he was 'murdered without any provocation'
The civilian's death triggered protests with police resorting to using shotgun pellets and tear gas.

The family of the civilian who was fatally shot by a Central Reserve Police Force jawan in Budgam district of Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday claimed that he was "killed deliberately", AP reported on Thursday.
The CRPF identified the deceased as Peer Mehrajudin, the son of Ghulam Nabi, and a resident of Makhama village in Beerwah Budgam.
The news of his death triggered protests in his village. Forces were deployed and the police resorted to shotgun pellets and tear gas to quell the protestors who reportedly threw stones at them. Authorities also shut down 2G mobile internet services in the district to scuttle any possibility of spread of protests. Many were injured in the clashes. At least two women with pellet injuries to their eyes were taken to the main hospital in Srinagar for treatment, an unidentified doctor told the AP.
Mehrajuddin was driving a car, with his uncle in the passenger seat, when he was shot by a CRPF trooper at a security checkpoint in Kawoosa. The Central Reserve Police Force claimed the man ignored signals to stop at two checkpoints and that a soldier shot the victim "when the car didn't stop despite warning shots". It added the forces feared "a sabotage" as a military convoy was passing by at the time.
However, his uncle Ghulam Hassan Shah, an assistant sub-inspector in the Jammu and Kashmir Police, alleged that Mehrajuddin was "murdered" without "any provocation", according to The Economic Times. He added the CRPF's version of events was a "blatant lie", as bullets pierced the car from front side, which was stationery at that time.
Shah said the incident took place around 10.30 am when his nephew was driving him to the police control room in Srinagar."One side of road was blocked, by the forces, so traffic from both directions was plying on only one side of the road," he told the newspaper. The policemen at the first checkpost allowed their vehicle to pass. However, the officer at the post signalled towards the soldier stationed on the second checkpost. "I couldn't understand what that gesture was about," he added. "[Then] this CRPF man suddenly pointed [a] gun at us. We stopped the car and he opened fire at my nephew."
Shah said they were not removed from the spot for about 30 minutes till a doctor in a private car passed by and a soldier stopped him."I fought with the CRPF man who opened fire and asked him why did he murder my nephew," he added.
Senior police officers in Budgam refused to comment on Shah's allegations, The Print reported. A senior CRPF officer posted in Srinagar said the force had already issued a statement.
The victim's father, Ghulam Nabi Shah, also denied the police account, saying his son did not drive through any checkpoints, and that soldiers "first stopped him and then shot him". Firdousa, an eyewitness, told AP that Mehrajuddin was killed deliberately. "He did no wrong," she said. "A security official told him something to which he replied that he had some emergency. They let him go but as he was getting into his vehicle, they shot him in the back."
The Budgam district administration has filed a first information report and started an investigation.

What I expected to be a short meeting exceeded my expectations. It actually went on to about 8:45, due in part to a delayed start, about fifteen minutes, and requests for clarification on a few items. There was little discussion, but several requests for clarification.
What was surprising was the request for a recorded vote on two items, 9.4.1 and 10.3.1. Both items were approved 6 to 1, so I guess there really wasn't an issue except in the mind of one individual. The recorded vote I guess will permit an "I told you so" at some point in the future if things don't go as expected.
The questions of Staff raised ongoing obstruction by CN regarding the Forest Street crossing. My goodness, CN continues to demonstrate how arrogant it is when it comes to communities that it uses and abuses. There was also a summary of the most recent police quarterly report. News was mixed, some good and some not so good.
e) Louisa Street Wetlands. CARRIED. Nothing was brought forward to the open session of Council.
9.3.1 – Establishment of a 2016 Budget Schedule. Resolution. CARRIED. It has been changed slightly, refer to the Town's webpage for the schedule. It will most certainly be revised as time passes and other priorities arise. It was noted that the budget meetings will be open to the public and input will be permitted, presumably as a deputation prior to Staff and Council discussion. Remember, once Council starts the discussion of the budget there is no additional opportunity to add in comments on particular issues. If you want to provide input you need to address Council prior to the start of formal discussions. Don't be shy about asking to do so, they may well not formally ask if there are deputations as the budget sessions are much more casual than the regular budget discussions.
9.3.2 – Donations Policy. Resolution. CARRIED.
9.4.1 – Tender – College Drive Intersection Improvements. Resolution. CARRIED. There was some discussion about why this intersection is being redone. I guess the answer is because it represents a significant traffic hazard.
9.4.2 – Transfer of Capital Funds. Resolution. CARRIED.
9.5.1 – Consent Application No. B11/2015(PS) – PS Mall. Resolution. CARRIED.
10.3.1 – Water and Wastewater System By-law Revisions. Being a by-law to govern water and wastewater services in the Town of Parry Sound and to repeal by-laws 2012-6174 and 2007-5063. CARRIED. Direction (Direct Staff Follow-up). That staff refund all deposits held for property owners as a credit on the next utility bill. CARRIED. This by-law took the longest to discuss and understand. The by-law introduces several changes and provides clarification on other issues. Changes/revisions include the required installation of water meters upon the sale of properties, charges for turning water on and off, and holding landlords responsible for water bills. I think it was the requirement for water meters that was the issue prompting the request for a recorded vote.
10.5.1 – Thunder Creek Subdivision, Phase 2 – Subdivision Amending Agreement with W.E.H. Developments Limited. Being a By-law to authorize a Subdivision Amending Agreement between W.E.H. Developments Limited and the Corporation of the Town of Parry Sound. CARRIED.
As per my introductory notes, the meeting didn't end at 7:45 and I would not have won the pool, had there been one; a surprise with every meeting. There is a single meeting scheduled for mid-August. Enjoy the summer.

Q: Emulate Oculus Rift My undergraduate research is about oculus rift, however my college didn't purchase it yet, they must be sure that the project is viable before importing one, due to  importation taxes. I'll develop in unity and I'd like to know if ther's a way to emulate the oculus' gyros and accelerometers.

A: Sure, you can use riftcat to emulate the vive. using vrtk you create a RIFT/VIVE compatible game and test that, if you need position tracking you add PSservice and use the ps 3 controllers.
I have done taht in the past https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=788YDwzbP58
you wont spend more than 50$ on used items.

A: I am not sure, maybe this plugin will help.

Next Generation of its Enterprise Messaging Software
By Mindlink
Posted in News on 20 July 2016, 14:00 , 0 Comments.
MindLink, provider of secure Chat Enabled Collaboration (CEC) tools for global businesses, today announces the availability of its next-generation software and User Interface (UI) - redefining how messaging and chat applications for businesses is essential and cost-effective for any organisation. In addition it meets stringent data security requirements and regulatory compliance needs.
The redesigned messaging app makes sharing knowledge and retrieving information via chat easier and more powerful. It enables real-time collaboration of information without ever overloading the user and allowing access to knowledge in a highly structured and customised way.
"The new software and interface has been a significant investment for MindLink. We have increased our engineering capacity by 30% and have spent 6 months, end-to-end, to make this a reality", comments Harpreet Gosal, CTO, MindLink. "Close to 50% of our annual revenue was invested in developing our new UI using the latest, cutting-edge programming platforms and technology stacks to make sure our application is future and bullet proof."
The announcement comes one year after changes in the board and management including the appointment of a new CEO. In his tenure software revenues grew 70% year-on-year, MindLink signed some major resellers and recently raised additional US$1million in funding - telling the growth story of a highly successful UK start-up and an answer to social and team messaging competitors who fail to meet corporate security and compliance standards. Today's product announcement is another step-change in MindLink's expansion plan.
"We have worked extremely closely with our corporate clients in financial services and beyond to ensure that we meet highest standards in terms of usability and functionality. It wasn't about cartoony consumer and social features, this was about corporate usability and efficiency – secure but user friendly tools for successful corporates", says Justin Forrest, CEO, MindLink.
Working with clients and key financial firms, MindLink has captured and incorporated feedback, ideas and efficiencies. The end product provides a visually engaging work interface on desktop and mobile, that maintains powerful enterprise level functionality: integration with internal and external systems via bots and connectors, regulatory compliance and some of the most advanced security features available of any chat and messaging tool on the market.
This comes on top of elevating Unified Communication platforms like Microsoft Lync and Skype for Business whose functionality MindLink now significantly enhances.
"Our efforts are set to expansion and our revamped messaging app completes the first step of our global growth strategy", concludes Forrest.
MindLink was founded in 2011, is a Microsoft Gold partner and offers a fully rounded enterprise-ready messaging platform for businesses globally. The new interface has been released from beta and will include further major feature additions on a two week release cycle.
PrivSec Conferences will bring together leading speakers and experts from privacy and security to deliver compelling content via solo presentations, panel discussions, debates, roundtables and workshops.

Q: Pyspark join multiplies common column Good day,
I'm joining data on pySpark. Coming from SQL I like to define join by common key like this.
data_want = data_1.join(data_2, data_1.common_key == data_2.common_key , 'left' )
data_want.columns

[<normal_columns>, common_key, common_key]

I get doubly entries of common_key-column. Very odd. When doing this with shorter syntax:
data_want = data_1.join(data_2, 'common_key' , 'left' )
data_want.columns

[<normal_columns>, common_key]

All seems to be ok.
Can anyone explain what's going on here? Moreover, how would one go about writing the longer version, which I find more familiar. I can't seem to point to 2nd column with same name.
Running on DataBricks with Spark 3.2.1 and Scala 2.12

A: In spark, each column has  a unique id used by the catalyst/sql engine. The id is internal and more of a meta data and very hard to refer to. Join expressions do not eliminate the common_keys. Because they have common names, they double up. You cant drop them by calling their names. The id is hidden too. A common approach is therefore to lias the df to create a unique name. use the name to drop the column. Code below.
Another option is to rename the common columns and then join
data_1.alias('data_1').join(data_2, data_1.common_key == data_2.common_key , 'left' ).drop('data_1.common_key')
