Surrey – The City of Surrey is one of the most diverse and fastest growing municipalities in British Columbia. Much of this growth can be attributed to immigration. While new immigrants and refugees bring skills, knowledge, talents and a strong desire to work and contribute to the Canadian economy, many face challenges in finding work.
Surrey Newcomer Employment Week (NEW) is a new initiative of the Surrey Local Immigration Partnership (LIP). Organized in collaboration with 18 community and business organizations, the events and workshops throughout the week will provide opportunities for newcomer job seekers to connect with employers and learn more about the resources available to advance their labour market integration.
A "Share Your Story" campaign is a part of Surrey NEW. It highlights the stories of local employers who have hired immigrant and/or refugees. The stories can be viewed on the Surrey LIP website at http://www.surreylip.ca/surrey-lip-blog.
Surrey NEW will take place from October 21 to October 27, 2017, with over 35 events happening in locations across the city. Detailed event information is available at http://www.surreylip.ca/content/surrey-new-newcomer-employment-week.
The Immigrant Employment Council of BC, Surrey Board of Trade and the Charted Professionals in Human Resources BC & Yukon are key partners in the Share Your Story campaign. Vancity provided sponsorship funding for Surrey NEW.

Q: How to pick a row randomly based on a number of tickets you have I have this table called my_users
my_id | name | raffle_tickets
1     | Bob  | 3
2     | Sam  | 59
3     | Bill | 0
4     | Jane | 10
5     | Mike | 12

As you can see Sam has 59 tickets so he has the highest chance of winning.
Chance of winning:

*

*Sam = 59/74

*Bob = 3/74

*Jane = 10/74

*Bill = 0/74

*Mike = 12/74
PS: 74 is the number of total tickets in the table (just so you know I didn't randomly pick 74)
Based on this, how can I randomly pick a winner, but ensure those who have more raffles tickets have a higher chance of being randomly picked? Then the winner which is picked, has 1 ticket deducted from their total tickets
UPDATE my_users
SET raffle_tickets = raffle_tickets - 1
WHERE my_id = --- Then I get stuck here...

Server version: 5.7.30

A: For MySQL 8+
WITH
cte1 AS ( SELECT name, SUM(raffle_tickets) OVER (ORDER BY my_id) cum_sum
          FROM my_users ),
cte2 AS ( SELECT SUM(raffle_tickets) * RAND() random_sum
          FROM my_users )
SELECT name
FROM cte1
CROSS JOIN cte2
WHERE cum_sum >= random_sum
ORDER BY cum_sum LIMIT 1;

For 5+
SELECT cte1.name
FROM ( SELECT t2.my_id id, t2.name, SUM(t1.raffle_tickets) cum_sum
       FROM my_users t1
       JOIN my_users t2 ON t1.my_id <= t2.my_id
       WHERE t1.raffle_tickets > 0
       GROUP BY t2.my_id, t2.name ) cte1
CROSS JOIN ( SELECT RAND() * SUM(raffle_tickets) random_sum
             FROM my_users ) cte2
WHERE cte1.cum_sum >= cte2.random_sum
ORDER BY cte1.cum_sum LIMIT 1;

fiddle

A: You want a weighted pull from a random sample.  For this purpose, variables are probably the most efficient solution:
select u.*
from (select u.*, (@t := @t + raffle_tickets) as running_tickets
      from my_users u cross join
           (select @t := 0, @r := rand()) params
      where raffle_tickets > 0
     ) u
where @r >= (running_tickets - raffle_tickets) / @t and
      @r < (running_tickets / @t);

What this does is calculate the running sum of tickets and then divide by the number of tickets to get a number between 0 and 1.  For example this might produce:
my_id   name    raffle_tickets  running_tickets       running_tickets / @t
1       Bob          3                3               0.03571428571428571
2       Sam         59               62               0.7380952380952381
4       Jane        10               72               0.8571428571428571
5       Mike        12               84               1

The ordering of the original rows doesn't matter -- which is why there is no ordering in the subquery.
The ratio is then used with rand() to select a particular row.
Note that in the outer query, @t is the total number of tickets.
Here is a db<>fiddle.

About TransGriot
It's Tona's Birthday!
By Monica Roberts / December 30, 2014 April 15, 2021 / 1 minute of reading
Today is Tona Brown's birthday, and had to give my little sis a TransGriot birthday shoutout after the amazing history making year she had
She made her lifelong dream of performing on the Carnegie Hall stage come to life on June 25 with her well received 'From Stonewall To Carnegie Hall' concert that made her the first out African-American trans woman to perform there.
I've known, talked to and been aware of my classically trained musician sis for years now, and it was one of the highlights of the 2014 LGBT Media Journalists Convening in DC when I finally got to meet her.
As to what Tona has in store for us in 2015? That's a good question. But I know I'm looking forward to watching it unfold and happen.
Happy birthday Tona! May you be blessed with many more.

We are gratified and humbled at the magnitude of campers who wish to join us at camp.
We are sure that you are aware that not all campers that are enrolled are able to join us for the summer.
Each camper deserves a summer at Camp Pardas Chanah, however space is a technical issue that we cannot change due to municipal zoning laws.
Within the next day or so , you will receive an email from us explaining the process.
We hope that we can spend the summer and before that in Yerushalayim with Moshiach.
Pardas Chanah in Yerushalayim will have space for every single camper!!
Hang in there and we will be in touch.

Cardin, Van Hollen Commend Alex Villamayor Verdict
by Staff April 13, 2018 April 13, 2018
WASHINGTON — Today, U.S. Senators Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen (both D-Md.)released the following statement in response to the guilty verdicts handed down against Rene Hofstetter and Mathias Wilbs in the case of Alex Villamayor, a 16-year old U.S. citizen and Marylander who was brutally murdered in Encarnación, Obligado, Paraguay in 2015:
"Alex Villamayor's murderers have finally been brought to justice thanks to the tireless work of his family, the efforts of Paraguayan judicial officials, and vigilance from the U.S. government. This has been a long and complicated process, but we never stopped working to shine a light on this tragedy and to seek justice. We are hopeful that this decision will bring some peace to the Villamayor family, and we stand with them in remembering Alex and honoring the life he led."
Since Alex's murder in 2015, Senators Cardin and Van Hollen have worked extensively with the State Department and Paraguayan officials to provide justice and transparency in the Villamayor case. In February of this year, Senators Van Hollen and Cardin introduced a Senate Resolution commemorating Alex's life and calling for justice and accountability. Additionally, Van Hollen and Cardin met with the newly-minted U.S. Ambassador to Paraguay Lee McClenny, along with Kim Luk, Villamayor's aunt, to push for further transparency and a resolution to the case.

The centre of Chelmsford is home to glorious examples of architecture, including buildings such as Shire Hall that dates back to 1791, and Chelmsford Cathedral, which was rebuilt over 800 years ago, and has since been refurbished on a number of occasions since then. Further from the centre is the stunning Hylands House, a stylish country house that was developed by nine different owners over the course of 250 years.
Whilst we think nine owners aren't necessary to create an elegant home, our solid wood worktops are a key component in many stylish homes in and around Chelmsford. We offer a wide range of sizes and wood species, as well as a bespoke worktop cutting service, which allows us to create a worktop to cater for almost any kitchen design.
Our Harlow showroom is only 20 miles away from the centre of Chelmsford, so why not come and have a look at our range of worktops any time Monday to Saturday, between 9am and 5pm. Our showroom manager is on hand throughout the day to give you further information about any of the worktops in our range, and also provide samples for you to take away.
If you already know which worktop is the ideal choice for your kitchen, it can be purchased directly on our website and delivered to you by our 2Man teams on a weekday of your choice. Our in-house team now covers the vast majority of England, Wales and Scotland and will provide a convenient 2 hour timeslot for your delivery. Wherever you are in the UK, we can deliver great value worktops directly to you!
Order your worktops by 12 noon for next day delivery to Chelmsford.


In addition to book reviews, I recap Outlander, create themed recipes for food and cocktails, and am the editor for a writing group feature which includes guest posts from published YA authors and editors. I have also covered red carpet events, conferences, and festivals.
My main historical interests are medieval European history (I wrote my senior thesis on death and resurrection symbolism in transi tombs, alchemy, torture, and execution) and San Francisco history.

GNU lightning has been useful in practice; however, it does have at least four drawbacks: it has limited registers, no peephole optimizer, no instruction scheduler and no symbolic debugger. Of these, the last is the most critical even though it does not affect the quality of generated code: the only way to debug code generated at run-time is to step through it at the level of host specific machine code. A decent knowledge of the underlying instruction set is thus needed to make sense of the debugger's output.
The low number of available registers (six) is also an important limitation. However, let's take the primary application of dynamic code generation, that is, bytecode translators. The underlying virtual machines tend to have very few general purpose registers (usually 0 to 2) and the translators seldom rely on sophisticated graph-coloring algorithms to allocate registers to temporary variables. Rather, these translators usually obtain performance increases because: a) they remove indirect jumps, which are usually poorly predicted, and thus often form a bottleneck, b) they parameterize the generated code and go through the process of decoding the bytecodes just once. So, their usage of registers is rather sparse--in fact, in practice, six registers were found to be enough for most purposes.
The lack of a peephole optimizer is most important on machines where a single instruction can map to multiple native instructions. For instance, Intel chips' division instruction hard-codes the dividend to be in EAX and the quotient and remainder to be output, respectively, in EAX and EDX: on such chips, GNU lightning does lots of pushing and popping of EAX and EDX to save those registers that are not used. Unnecessary stack operations could be removed by looking at whether preserved registers are destroyed soon. Unfortunately, the current implementation of GNU lightning is so fast because it only knows about the single instruction that is being generated; performing these optimizations would require a flow analysis pass that would probably hinder GNU lightning's speed.

Review of The Beekeeper from the Boston Herald
Read a 3-star review of The Beekeeper from the February 25, 2005 edition of the Boston Herald newspaper.
Thanks to menju56 for sending this. You can read this online at theedge.bostonherald.com or below:
Amos' `Beekeeper' produces honey
Review by Christopher John Treacy
On "The Beekeeper," Tori Amos weaves a metaphor about needing bees to keep life's garden balanced. Yep, it's another dense and adventurous song cycle for the deep-thinking, deep-feeling Amos, who continues exploring the intersection between the sacred and the profane.
Amos' latest high-blown concept album will no doubt annoy disbelievers, but they might want to give it a try. "The Beekeeper" is less heavy and more accessible than her previous efforts, without any sacrifice of her risky brilliance.
Armed with her trademark Bosendorfer piano on one side and a Hammond B3 organ on the other, she's joined on four tracks by the London Community Gospel Choir, duets with Damien Rice in "The Power of Orange Knickers," and churns out several gorgeous melodies, including the first single, "Sleeps With Butterflies."

Drag queens drown out far-right commentator with fan thworps
Reiss Smith July 8, 2019
Drag queens from the DC Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence used hand fans to drown out a right-wing host. (Unicorn Riot/Twitter)
A group of drag queens came up with a creative way to block a far-right commentator at a rally in Washington, DC.
A video shared by the independent news outlet Unicorn Riot shows the queens surrounding a host who "had been antagonising" crowds at the All Out DC protest on Saturday (July 6).
As the host—who has not been identified—spoke into a microphone, the queens used the sound of their hand fans to drown her out.
Clarification: DC Chapter of Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence use hand fans to drown out a far-right media host who had been antagonizing #AllOutDC protest crowd
pic.twitter.com/RFrhfdZsak
— Unicorn Riot (@UR_Ninja) July 6, 2019
The queens belonged to the DC Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, an "order of queer nuns… devoted to promoting human rights, respect for diversity and spiritual enlightenment."
They were among the hundreds who had turned out to counter a rival protest led by the Proud Boys, a men-only organisation which the FBI classifies as an "extremist group with ties to white nationalism."
Proud Boys outnumbered by All Out DC protestors
The Proud Boys and its allies called their Demand Free Speech rally to complain about the shutting down of hate speech on social media platforms.
Gavin McInnes, the group's founder, reportedly staged a stunt involving toy handcuffs which didn't quite go to plan.
He appeared on stage wearing the cuffs, which he attempted to remove to symbolise overcoming online censorship.
According to the Daily Beast, he was unable to get them off and had to be helped out of them.
Milo Yiannopolous, the gay former Breitbart editor recently banned from Facebook for hate speech, also spoke at the event. He reportedly wore a wig and performed an unflattering impersonation of another speaker.
According to USA Today, the self-described "Western chauvinists" were outnumbered "roughly two to one" by counter protestors, with a heavy police presence separating the two factions.
Those on the All Out DC side heard from activists who spoke about transgender rights and the empowerment of black people regardless of gender.

Q: How do I fill a polygon formed by 3 different sets of arrays? I see that fill_between() requires a single x-range. But in my case I have 3 sets of arrays that span different ranges on the x-axis. These curves join at the ends to form a polygon. For example:
x1 = [1,2,3,4,5]
y1 = [5,4,3,2,1]

x2 = [1,3,5,6,7]
y2 = [5,6,7,8,9]

x3 = [7,6.5,7,8,5]
y3 = [9,8,8,6,1]

plt.plot(x1,y1,
         x2,y2,
         x3,y3)

My real arrays have a length of 1000, however, so this is just a simplified example to clarify my question. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

A: You can use plt.fill to draw a filled polygon. Just concatenating the lists to create a closed polygon suffices. Note that all the segments need to be consecutive, so the first segment needs to be reversed to fit together with the other two. The polygon can be convex, concave or even self-intersecting.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

x1 = [1,2,3,4,5]
y1 = [5,4,3,2,1]

x2 = [1,3,5,6,7]
y2 = [5,6,7,8,9]

x3 = [7,6.5,7,8,5]
y3 = [9,8,8,6,1]

plt.plot(x1[::-1]+x2+x3, y1[::-1]+y2+y3, c='navy')
plt.fill(x1[::-1]+x2+x3, y1[::-1]+y2+y3, c='crimson', alpha=0.3)

A: You can use shapely to concatenating line segments automatically.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from shapely.geometry import LineString
from shapely.ops import linemerge

x1 = [1,2,3,4,5]
y1 = [5,4,3,2,1]

x2 = [1,3,5,6,7]
y2 = [5,6,7,8,9]

x3 = [7,6.5,7,8,5]
y3 = [9,8,8,6,1]

Turkish Denialist Helps Publicize Truth about the Armenian Genocide
Ergun Kirlikovali, a resident of Orange County, California, and former president of the Assembly of Turkish American Associations, has carried out a life-long, Don Quixotic battle against recognition of the Armenian Genocide. Unfortunately for him, the more he denies the genocide, the more he helps publicize it.
Here is the latest episode of Kirlikovali's "heroic" actions which once again backfired on him and his obsessive denialism.
On April 24, as 60,000 protestors gathered in front of the Turkish Consulate in Los Angeles, Kirlikovali showed up with a handful of his denialist compatriots trying to cover up the tarnished image of their homeland. The Turks' presence at the protest attracted the attention of the local news media, generating more publicity for the 101st anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
To take credit for his anti-Armenian protest, Kirlikovali had a cohort videotape his interview with KABC-TV, during which he once again denied the Armenian Genocide. Shockingly, in the midst of the interview, the KABC cameraman made derogatory remarks about Armenians, calling them "thug-like idiots."

In its news coverage of the April 24 protest, KABC used a sound bite from Kirlikovali's 8-minute rant. However, no one would have known about the cameraman's prejudicial comments, if it were not for Kirlikovali posting the raw footage of his interview on Facebook, which got the anti-Armenian cameraman in hot water.
In response to complaints from the public, KABC promptly issued a statement apologizing for its freelance cameraman's remarks and announcing the termination of his services with the TV station. However, KABC insisted that its story was "fair and accurate." Many viewers disagreed, citing the inclusion of Kirlikovali's denialist views in the broadcast. In a phone conversation with KABC's General Manager last week, I discussed the pitfalls of providing airtime to a denialist and the positive steps the TV station could initiate to educate viewers about the Armenian Genocide. Upset by the station's conciliatory statement, Kirlikovali posted on Facebook his "disappointment" with KABC's apology and dismissal of the cameraman after complaints from "Armenian pressure groups."
The Armenian National Committee of America Western Region (ANCA) and Armenian Youth Federation Western US (AYF) issued a joint statement contesting KABC's decision to provide a platform to a notorious genocide denier and asked for a meeting with the TV station's management. They justifiably contended that KABC would never interview a neo-Nazi while covering a Holocaust commemorative event.
Subsequently, KABC's management agreed to meet with representatives of ANCA, AYF, and the Armenian Bar Association, and removed from the TV station's website Kirlikovali's offensive words along with the questionable news story! After the meeting, Cheryl Kunin Fair, President and General Manager of KABC-TV, issued the following highly principled statement on May 2:
"ABC7 regrets what happened and apologizes for the pain this incident caused the Armenian community, especially on Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day. The actions of the cameraman in question, who no longer works for the station, and the resulting story that aired that day, were not an accurate reflection of ABC7′ s commitment to the Armenian community. While the cameraman's comments did not air, we regret the inclusion in our story of a short bite from the interview denying the existence of the Genocide on historical grounds, which is counter to the position of a majority of historians today who do call it a Genocide, and see the deaths of 1.5 million Armenians as a premeditated and systematic campaign to exterminate an entire people. Efforts are underway in partnership with the ANCA, AYF, Armenian Bar Association and others to provide opportunities for public dialogue, internal education, and meaningful stories about and for the Armenian community and their efforts for Genocide recognition and education. We are committed to moving forward with these initiatives and we thank the ANCA and its partner organizations for their leadership in this dialogue and willingness to listen."
KABC-TV should be commended for issuing such a reassuring statement, apologizing for the offense caused to the Armenian community, promising not to use the services of the bigoted cameraman, expressing regret for interviewing a genocide denialist, reaffirming the truth of the Armenian Genocide, and pledging to work with community organizations to educate the public on this critical issue. Without Kirlikovali's persistent denialist endeavors, none of these constructive steps would have been possible!

Q: Stop 'Music' app on tvOS from taking over screen when playing background music I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to prevent the Music app from entirely taking over the screen and showing what's currently playing -- I want my app to remain showing but for the music to continue playing over the top of it.
I've set the idleTimerDisabled to be true, however this just prevents the screensaver from showing.
UIApplication.sharedApplication().idleTimerDisabled = true

Any suggestions?

A: Looks I got a combination of 2 things together to work:
UIApplication.sharedApplication().idleTimerDisabled = true
and
myViewController.setNeedsFocusUpdate() periodically

A: This seems to be fixed in tvOS 16.0

MPs Warned As Suspected Chinese Agent Named After MI5 Investigation
MPs were sent the warning about Christine Lee following an investigation by the security services
John Johnston
@johnjohnstonmi
MPs have been told that a Chinese national named Christine Lee is accused of "facilitating financial donations to serving and aspiring politicians".
Parliamentary authorities issued a warning to MPs and Peers after the security services identified Lee as engaging in "political interference activities" on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party.
Lee, who has donated tens of thousands to both the Labour Party and Brent North MP Barry Gardiner through her firm of solicitors, is alleged to have "covertly" facilitated financial donations to "serving and aspiring" politicians on behalf of Chinese nationals.
Gardiner, who previously served as international development secretary, has been repeatedly questioned about the links with Lee, whose son, Daniel Wilkes, works in his Westminster office.
According to the Commons register of staff interests from February 2020 a further two members of Gardiner's team were also paid by Lee's firm for work they were doing in Parliament.
The donations, provided by Christine Lee & Co Solicitors, first began in early 2005, with £4,000 given to the local Labour Party in Hendon.
Subsequent donations amounting to £675,586 have been made, including a mixture of cash donations and 'non cash' contributions towards staffing costs.
Gardiner, who received his first donation from the firm in 2015, has received tens of thousands, including a cash donation of £31,680 in 2018. The size of donations meant he topped the donations table in 2018, having received more funding than any other MP in Westminster.
The Labour MP has previously defended his relationship with Lee, saying he had never been "improperly influenced" by the firm, and said his employment of Wilkes was via an "open appointment process".
The 'interference alert' from security services includes claims that Lee has targeted Parliamentarians across different parties on behalf of the Chinese state.
Lee's influence in public life also lead to her receiving a 'Points of Light' award in 2019 from then-Prime Minister Theresa May for her work with the "British Chinese Project".
In a personal letter to Lee, the former PM said she should be "very proud" of the progress her project had made in "promoting engagement, understanding and cooperation" between the Chinese and British communities.
But the group have now been cited in the warning notice to Parliamentarians, which also flagged her role in the now-disbanded all-party Chinese in Britain group.
According to the Electoral Commission, the firm also made a £5,000 cash donation to the Liberal Democrats in early 2013.
The revelations have raised concerns among MPs, including senior Conservative Ian Duncan Smith, who has been sanctioned by the Chinese government over his warnings of Beijing's interference.
Speaking on Thursday, he told MPs the report was of "grave concern" as he called for further details to be released about Lee's activities.
Home Secretary Priti Patel said she understood it would be "deeply concerning" that Lee had "knowingly engaged in political interference activities" on behalf of China.
"This development has come as a result of the strong structures the United Kingdom has in place to identify foreign interference or any potential threats to our democracy," she tweeted.
"Where necessary, proportionate action is always taken to mitigate these threats, thanks to our world-leading intelligence and security agencies.
"Forthcoming measures to counter these kind of threats will build on the robust safeguards already in place, making our country even harder for states to conduct hostile activity in."
Responding to the report, Gardiner told Sky News that he had been "liaising with our security services for many years" about Lee and that her son had resigned from his staff earlier today.
"Steps were taken to ensure Christine Lee had no role in either the appointment or management of those researchers," he said.
"They are also aware that I have not benefitted personally from those donations in any way. She ceased funding any workers in my office in June 2020.
"All the donations were properly reported in the register of members' interests and their source verified at the time.
"I have been assured by the Security Services that whilst they have definitively identified improper funding channelled through Christine Lee, this does not relate to any funding received by my office."
No MPs are suspected of any criminality and Lee has not been arrested as a result of the probe.
The Labour Party have been approached for comment.

Canoe Polo is a fast paced game played by two teams of five players in short kayaks, who compete to score goals on a rectangular pitch. The goals are suspended 2m above water at either end of the pitch, which can be in a swimming pool or open water.
Players throw the ball or flick it with their paddle. The game is played at international level and several London clubs have regular polo teams.
When played competitively, the game can involve a lot of contact and pushing, so good players need to be able to roll their kayak upright, using either their paddle or a 'hand roll'. At this level, players must wear helmets, face guards and body protection.
Canoe Polo is a great way to keep fit and improve both kayaking and ball skills.
Campaigners have succeeded in bringing the 2016 World Canoe Polo Championships to London. The organisers aim to host the games on the iconic Serpentine lake in London's Hyde Park, bringing Canoe Polo to a new and wider audience.

Q: Angular. Form Model Validation I'm trying to follow an example from Adam Freeman's book on Angular and now stuck with Using a Form Model for Validation.
I have a similar issue as in Angular Typescript FormGroup assigning value after submit.
However, the accepted answer in that post didn't actually help me, because I got another error message: "Type 'any' is not assignable to type 'never'.ts(2322)".
So, I have an object of class Product:
export class Product {
    constructor(public id?: number,
    public name?: string,
    public category?: string,
    public price?: number) {}
}

In the form class I'm trying to do the following:

Why does TS state: this.newProduct[c] is of type 'never'? And how do I make it work?

A: Why are you looking for the values looping over the controls?
You should be able to just do this:
const newProduct = formGroup.value

If not, either you built up your form wrong, or your model isn't right.
But if you can loop over the keys and assign them to your newProduct class member (which you do not need) it looks to me like just assigning the forms value property should work fine. I think you're over complicating things.
By not having the newProduct class member you do not need to concern yourself with creating a new Product after you submit the form. That is what the reset on the formgroup is for.
Why you are flipping a boolean 'formSubmitted' is also unclear to me, when you set it to true, you are actually not sure if you actually did submit it. You can't be sure until you make the actual call. And u immediately set it to false again, even when the call were to fail.

A: this.newProduct[c] makes no sense to me, what exactly are you trying to achieve here? Product is a class and you're using it like an array, hence it being of type never.

New Paddy Power series sees Redknapp chance his arm as documentary maker to learn about the origins of one of the worst things to happen to football
Footballer-turned-pundit, Jamie Redknapp, is now stepping into the world of hard-hitting documentaries to tackle one of the biggest issues in the modern-day game…the half-and-half scarf.
Paddy Power's Jamie Redknapp Investigates is a new series that will see the former Liverpool and Spurs legend get to the bottom of the things that really annoy football fans about the modern game.
Episode one sees Redknapp get to the bottom of half-and-half scarves – the ghastly neckwear issue, described by fans he interviews as "Filth", "Foul" and "So sh*t".
In the first of a three part series – with episodes two and three released over the fortnight – Redknapp reveals the industry is now worth "over half a billion pounds" and tracks down the inventor of the half-and-half scarf.
The inventor, Brian, explains that the inspiration behind joining two separate scarves together was his own divorce, after his wife cut everything he owned in half.
Sewing his Arsenal and Holland neckwear together, Brian created the world's first half-and-half scarf – which rather unfortunately reads "Arse land".
But, at what cost? "Half-and-half scarves have a very short shelf life," says Redknapp's next interviewee – environmental activist, Lisa.
Discarded items can unfortunately find their way into nature, with Lisa reporting sightings of a baboon wearing a scarf featuring Tony Pulis at one end Sean Dyche at the other. Although Lisa does say that there aren't health implications for the animals, they "just look really stupid".
Redknapp then returns to see Brian once more as he's told there's a gift waiting for him. And, after showing off his diversified portfolio (including Manchester United and Liverpool half-and-half facemasks), the inventor gives the former England international his present.
Unfortunately, the Redknapp edition scarf features Harry at one end but the wrong Jamie at the other – Jamie Vardy.
Episode two of Paddy Power's Jamie Redknapp Investigates, released next Friday, will see Jamie taking on Twitter trolls.
Spokesman Paddy Power said: "Forget diving, dodgy VAR calls and people leaving early – half-and-half scarves are the biggest disgrace in football right now. So, we put our best man on the case to investigate and uncover the ugly truth about this scourge of modern football that we know annoys all proper football fans across the country.
"Because there are some things that just don't look right together, like pasta and ketchup or Tottenham and trophies."
The full video can be viewed on Paddy Power's YouTube and Twitter pages.

Q: Application Insights Requests being swallowed? I have added Application Insights to an existing Web API project. It appears to be working in that I can see traces and dependencies (to Azure storage) showing up.
However requests are not showing at all. I was initially testing with an existing POST method but decided to add a new GET method that simply return the string "OK". This also did not show as a request.
At this stage I decided to check if exceptions would show so added a throw as the first line of my method. Interestingly this time I could see the reqest (but not the exception!?) in Application Insights.
Is there anything in the pipeline that could somehow be swallowing the call to stop it appearing? This is a .NET Classic 4.6.2 app and I never really much delved into the pipeline of this version of .NET.

A: According to your description, I suggest you could firstly check the Application Insights.config file.
In this file, you could find the AdaptiveSamplingTelemetryProcessor node.
In this node, it contains ExcludedTypes.
<ExcludedTypes>Trace;Exception</ExcludedTypes>

This means:

A semi-colon delimited list of types that you do not want to be sampled. Recognized types are: Dependency, Event, Exception, PageView, Request, Trace. All instances of the specified types are transmitted; the types that are not specified are sampled.

Besides, if your application sends a lot of data and you are using the Application Insights SDK for ASP.NET version 2.0.0-beta3 or later, the adaptive sampling feature may operate and send only a percentage of your telemetry.
It will not send all your request to the Application Insights.
You can disable it, but this is not recommended. Sampling is designed so that related telemetry is correctly transmitted, for diagnostic purposes.


We constantly update information about the various invoice finance companies on this site, and are we have just added two new product services pages for two providers.
Nucleus Commercial Finance - who offer a range of business financing solutions, including construction sector funding.
Skipton Business Finance - who are backed by Skipton Building Society Group and offer a comprehensive range of invoice financing solutions, including help for startups.
Both of these companies are members of our panel of funding providers, and from the product information pages you can access links to make contact with them.
Over the last few days, I have also been reminded, how the approach and service levels provided by different invoice finance company can vary significantly.
This thought was sparked by a comment from a client of one particular invoice finance company that say their finance company have apparently "move the goalposts" to the point that the prime mover of the business is looking to completely exit and move away from invoice finance.
It is a shame that any company has a bad experience of these products, as our research has shown that 98% of users are willing to recommend their invoice finance company.
However, there are of course isolated cases where users fall out with their funder. The loss to the industry is that this kind of situation causes a company to shy away from using invoice finance altogther, as they feel they have not had a good experience.
The reality is that different providers will act very differently, even in the same situation. We have spent a lot of time helping businesses find funders that can take an "alternative approach" to particular situations.

Orissa Lotus Flower
Lotus is a state flower of Orissa state, India. The botanical name of it is Nelumbo Nucifera and also known by various names such as sacred Lotus, Indian bean and Indian lotus.

According to the Hindu mythology, lotus is very sacred as it is used by Lord Brahma, the Adi Shakti or fundamental source of energy.

Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy
New advice hub to help disabled people understand their rights at work
Government backs employment rights for disabled workers as part of National Disability Strategy.
Ministers have announced the creation of a new advice hub to help disabled people understand their employment rights
the National Disability Strategy, launching today, seeks to remove barriers faced by disabled people in all aspects of their lives – including work and business
government will also bring forward measures to promote flexible working, introduce carers leave, and explore further support for disabled entrepreneurs
A new advice hub is being launched to help disabled people understand their employment rights as part of plans to remove the barriers they face in work and business.
The online hub, a joint partnership between the Business Department and the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (Acas), will provide clear advice to both disabled people and employers on employment rights – from discrimination in the workplace to reasonable adjustments. Going live today, it will draw together the relevant information in one place for the first time, to help ensure disabled people can make the most of their workplace rights.
It's just one of the measures contained within the government's new National Disability Strategy, launched today, which aims to take concrete steps to improve the working lives of disabled people and carers, and make the UK a great place for them to do business.
Business Minister Amanda Solloway said:
We want the UK to be the best place in the world to work and do business for everyone – and removing the barriers disabled people face will be critical if we're to meet that goal.
From the new employment advice hub to Carer's Leave, we hope these changes will make a real difference to the working lives of disabled people and carers.
Acas Chief Executive, Susan Clews, said:
Our new hub explains how the law protects disabled people from discrimination at work and the basic rights that they are entitled to.
It is also a great resource for employers to help them create diverse, inclusive workplaces that are welcoming to disabled people and promotes equal opportunities for all employees.
Advice on the hub includes tips on how to prevent disability discrimination, how to make reasonable adjustments and how employees can raise complaints about disability discrimination at work.
As part of the strategy, the government will also explore what additional targeted support should be made available for disabled people in the workplace, as well as entrepreneurs who wish to start their own business.
By the end of 2021, the Business Department will publish proposals on improving access to finance and business support for disabled entrepreneurs, following extensive engagement with disabled entrepreneurs and disability stakeholders.
The government's new Help to Grow: Management programme also offers small business owners a 12-week management training programme, 90% funded by government, which combines online sessions with face-to-face learning. The scheme has been designed to allow participants to complete it alongside full-time work.
To give disabled people and carers the flexibility they need in their working lives, the Business Department will also launch a consultation on making flexible working the default unless employers have good reasons not to.
Flexible working, which includes a wide range of arrangements over the time and place of work – from home working to job-sharing and flexitime – can bring benefits to a wide range of people including those with disabilities and carers.
To further support unpaid carers, government will also progress a commitment to introduce a statutory leave entitlement for an extra week of unpaid leave per year, to help support them with their additional responsibilities.
This new entitlement, which follows a consultation run last year, will help unpaid carers to stay in work and balance their caring responsibilities.
the advice hub will provide advice to disabled people in England, Scotland and Wales. In Northern Ireland. Advice is available through the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland
the government's new Help to Grow: Management programme offers the chance for small business owners to take their business to the next level through a practical management training programme. Visit the Help to Grow website for more information.

Tomorrow is Halloween. For 18+ crowd, it's a time to dress up, stunt on your friends, and get a little bit wild. For the avid sneakerhead, here are some last minute costumes that are fairly DIY and you can still incorporate some of your favorite day to day items.
Probably the scariest sneaker related thing in 2016—a reseller. Somewhere between a mad scientist/ruthless business owner is your average reseller. They either cooked up an insane bots, or paid someone to code one, and figured out how to buy out limited stock releases, basically changing the landscape of how sneakers can be acquired. While not necessarily bad the reseller could control the supply of the sneaker you wanted the most, selling them at an insanely marked up premium—that's terrifying. For this outfit, you basically need are some empty shoe boxes, a stack of bills (fake? Not fake?), a couple cell phones, and maybe some sweat shorts?
Another good outfit, the Yeezy fan. 2016 has been a big year for Kanye's Yeezy brand. From the still hot Boost 350 to the Jedi/post-apocalyptic look he made popular, he's basically dominated in all creative outputs. So what better way to stay on trend then dress like the legions of zombie like fans waiting outside of the Pablo stores. All you need is an oversized sweater/tunic thing in some various shade of tan/brown/sand or an XXL Pablo jacket, ripped jeans, any sneaker or boot that has the Yeezy stamp of approval, and your iPhone. When the Yeezy-pocalypse hits, you'll fit right in.
Speaking of scary Kanye-related things. You could go as his $53 million dollar personal debt. What exactly that looks like is up to your imagination. A bunch of unsold Yeezy Season 3 items? Shopping bags? Receipts for crazy purchases? A shirt with a -$53,000,000 on it in Sharpie? Your only limit is your imagination.
The super dry, super awkward sneaker reviewer Brad Hall was recently outed to the world to be an actor/writer by the name of Ben Kobold. What does this mean for Brad Hall's career as the formative expert on sneaker unboxing? Who knows, but why not pay homage to the Brad Hall of videos past with a Halloween outfit? This one's fairly simple—a button up, slacks, wire frame glasses, the type of haircut your mom would give you, and your favorite pair of sneakers.
For the really clever, you can be Drake's (alleged) ghostwriter. What does that look like? Who knows! It could be anyone, maybe even you.
There you have it fam, a few last minute options. We want to see what you come up with this Halloween, so tag #lacelab in your pics. And if you haven't checked yet, we're having a 20% off sale now through tomorrow night (11PM EST).

Q: Reloading the content script I'm creating an extension for a site so that when a user types :) it changes to a graphical emotion. It all works fine when I refresh the page.
The problem is, when a user on the site types a message it's done using ajax, so there is no page load. I need a way to reload the content script, or to change the ASCII emotion to an image without reloading the page.
Is this possible?

A: You can listen for keyup events on the textarea or form submits if you only want to change the emotion at the end. jQuery().on() should let you do this. For example $('#textarea').on('keyup', changeEmot) or $('#form').on('submit', changeEmot). You may have to play around with the selectors and the events you get the gist.
