Q: Spring JMS + IBM MQ: How to set message buffer size or wait timeout? I'm unable to process large messages from IBM MQ and get the below error:
JMSCMQ0001: WebSphere MQ call failed with compcode '1' ('MQCC_WARNING') reason '2080' ('MQRC_TRUNCATED_MSG_FAILED')
I'm using the DefaultListenerContainer and not consuming via a MessageConsumer using IBM MQ Java API classes directly. I believe by using IBM MQ JMS API you can specific options before retrieving the message from the queue. But how do I do that with DefaultListenerContainer, is there a system property I can set for these?
If using IBM MQ JMS API(I'm not consuming message like this, pasted just for reference):
MQGetMessageOptions mqGetMessageOptions = new MQGetMessageOptions();
mqGetMessageOptions.waitInterval = ipreoProperties.getMqReceiveWaitTime();
mqGetMessageOptions.options = MQC.MQGMO_WAIT | MQC.MQPMO_SYNCPOINT | MQC.MQGMO_ACCEPT_TRUNCATED_MSG;
Below is my Java Config for the IBM MQ Connection:
@Bean
    public CachingConnectionFactory ipreoMQCachingConnectionFactory() {

        CachingConnectionFactory cachingConnectionFactory = new CachingConnectionFactory();

        //Not defining MQQueueConnectionFactory as separate bean as Spring boot's auto-configuration finds two instances
        //of ConnectionFactory and throws ambiguous implementation exception
        //One implementation is CachingConnectionFactory and other one would be MQQueueConnectionFactory if defined separately

        MQQueueConnectionFactory mqConnectionFactory = new MQQueueConnectionFactory();

        try {

            mqConnectionFactory.setHostName(env.getRequiredProperty(AppEnvPropertyConstants.JmsConstants.IPREO_MQ_HOSTNAME));
            mqConnectionFactory.setQueueManager(env.getRequiredProperty(AppEnvPropertyConstants.JmsConstants.IPREO_MQ_QUEUE_MGR));
            mqConnectionFactory.setPort(env.getRequiredProperty(AppEnvPropertyConstants.JmsConstants.IPREO_MQ_PORT, Integer.class));
            mqConnectionFactory.setChannel(env.getRequiredProperty(AppEnvPropertyConstants.JmsConstants.IPREO_MQ_CHANNEL));
            //mqConnectionFactory.setTransportType(WMQConstants.WMQ_CM_CLIENT);

            //Setting connection mode as Client so it doesn't complain for native IBM MQ libraries
            mqConnectionFactory.setIntProperty(CommonConstants.WMQ_CONNECTION_MODE, CommonConstants.WMQ_CM_CLIENT);

        } catch (JMSException exception) {
            exception.printStackTrace();
        }

        cachingConnectionFactory.setTargetConnectionFactory(mqConnectionFactory);

        //Setting session caching size as 10, don't think we need more
        cachingConnectionFactory.setSessionCacheSize(10);
        cachingConnectionFactory.setReconnectOnException(true);

        return cachingConnectionFactory;
    }

 public DefaultMessageListenerContainer ipreoDealActivityListenerContainer() {

        DefaultMessageListenerContainer factory = new DefaultMessageListenerContainer();
        factory.setConnectionFactory(ipreoMQCachingConnectionFactory());
        factory.setDestinationName(env.getRequiredProperty(AppEnvPropertyConstants.JmsConstants.IPREO_DEAL_QUEUE_NAME));
        factory.setMessageListener(ipreoDealActivityListener());
        factory.setSessionAcknowledgeMode(Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);

        return factory;
    }

@Bean
    public MessageListener ipreoDealActivityListener() {
        return new IpreoDealActivityListener();
    }

Appreciate your help, thanks.

A: Adding a late response as it might be useful to someone.
In my case, when the java client had this exception, we noticed the actual message size was larger than the default 4 MB buffer size.
The Java API does not provide a hook to change buffer size. Hence, the buffer size has to be updated at the MQ server level.
First, we increased the message size in queue properties - It did not work.
Then, we increased the message size property at the MQ channel level as well, which finally resolved the issue.
To summarise, increase the buffer size at the MQ server for queue & the channel both.

A: On a client connection to a queue manager you can limit the size of messages on both the server and client side. I've seen this error before when the client side limit was smaller then the size of the message.
I don't know how you can set the message size limit directly in the JMS client, but you could use a Client Channel Definition Table. It's a file containing the details for connecting to queue managers, created on a queue manager and then copied to the client host. You need to reference the file by issuing setCCDTURL on the connection factory (setting the host, port and channel is not required when using a CCDT, the CCDT will specify those).
When the CCDT is created on the queue manager the appropriate message size limit needs to be set on the client channel.
The server side limit is set on the server connection channel.

A: Within the JMS client code handling of the receive buffer us handled automatically; the theory is that specific error should never be received by a JMS Application.
The first snippet of code is the Java Classes API and this could get that error.
How big actually are these messages? What level of the JMS client code are you using - make sure that it is the latest version. And certainly one of the 7.5 or 8 releases.
This answer also has some more information on this.

Q: Word for the process of analysing characteristics of the ideal solution to a particular problem Simple example problem: you spilt some milk onto the floor
Characteristics of the ideal solution: the floor should be clean/dry
Is there a word that describes the action of intentionally undertaking the above analysis to find the characteristics of the correct solution?

A: Were this a mathematical example we would say that we are "developing" a solution. The development of a solution takes into account the nature of the problem, the constraints on solving it, and the choice of method of solving. The choice of method may lead to "optimising" the solution.
This sounds a bit formal when considering split milk!

A: In OP's context, the fact of the floor being "clean / dry" is a prerequisite of any solution (realistically, it's probably a necessary characteristic of any solution, not just "ideal" ones).

prerequisite (lexico.com)
A thing that is required as a prior condition for something else to happen or exist

The division of Berlin: the Wall
The end of the Second World War in 1945 and the victory of the Allies brought enormous changes for Germans. The country was split in two and Berlin, the capital city now in the Eastern part was divided into occupation zones (Soviet, French, American and British sectors).
A 'technical barrier' was constructed around the Soviet zone by 1947. The division of Berlin was finalised by the concrete wall built around West Berlin in 1961. The Berlin Wall (die Berliner Mauer, die Mauer) was a dividing structure on the territory of East Berlin and the German Democratic Republic (GDR) surrounding West Berlin, which was controlled by the former Allied powers.
The Wall ceased to function in 1989, when the waves of change (and the hands and tools of both Eastern and Western citizens) knocked down this symbol of division.
The technical barrier had been permanently eliminated by November 1991. A few remaining pieces of the wall today serve as memorials and tourist attractions.
One million Euros were donated recently by a Japanese television company to plant ten thousand cherry trees among the remains of the Wall.

The structure of the border strip
The Berlin Wall was one of the most strictly guarded borders ever. Grenzkommando Mitte (Border Command Centre) of the GDF Border Troops guarded the wall, with 2,300 soldiers on duty on an average day, with nearly 1,000 dogs.
The Wall had been fully completed by the 1980s. The complex border defence system and its immediate vicinity (on the eastern side) consisted of several zones: rows of concrete 'flower beds,' signal fences or poles, barbed wire fences, patrol lanes, vehicle traps, guard dog's path, control towers, road, lampposts, concrete fence etc.
The length of different sections of the Berlin border was:
42 km of 3.6 m high concrete wall
69 km of 2.9 m high barbed wire fence
114 km of signal wire
The wall itself was a concrete wall of 3.75 m height. It consisted of L shaped elements with smooth concrete pipes on top, painted white on the eastern side. It was the last technical element of the barrier.
Its western side became completely covered with graffiti over the years. There were several crossing points in the Wall, the most famous of these was the American-controlled Checkpoint Charlie.
After the Allied victory at the end of the Second World War, Germany was split in two and Berlin, the capital city, now in the Eastern part, was divided into two occupation zones.
The western part was controlled by the French, the Americans and the British, while the eastern part was under Soviet control. The creation of the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic further deepened the existing hostility between the former Allies, which led to the Cold War. An increasing number of East Germans immigrated to the West through Berlin.
To prevent further emigration, the East German government constructed a technical barrier between East and West Berlin that almost completely cut West Berlin off from the outside world. At first, the barrier consisted of a barbed wire fence, but later it was reinforced with several other elements. One of these was a concrete wall that became the symbol of the Cold War.
The Wall was completed by the 1980s, separating families and making it impossible to escape to the West. Looking from the Eastern side, the first zone of this complex border defence system consisted of a barbed wire fence, a patrol lane and another wire fence. The next zone consisted of a strip with vehicle traps and a path for guard dogs. The wide central strip contained a road and control towers, positioned at regular intervals. There was also a row of lamp posts and ditches. The final element was the notorious concrete wall.
The Berlin Wall marked one of the most strictly guarded borders ever. The Grenzkommando Mitte (Border Command Center) of the GDF Border Troops guarded the wall, with 2,300 soldiers on duty on an average day, aided by nearly 1,000 dogs. Of the 268 escape attempts 125 ended in death.
But the winds of change reached Berlin in 1989. From the summer of 1989, demonstrations were held daily on the streets, demanding change in the East German political system and, most importantly, an opening of the inner German border and the removal of the Wall. These demonstrations, together with other European events led to the opening of the border and the destruction of the Wall, which had lost its function by then. Berlin and Germany itself were then reunited and by 1991 the Cold War had ended too.

Hard Rock International Announces New Venture to Expand Sportsbook & Online Wagering
Home/News/Hard Rock International Announces New Venture to Expand Sportsbook & Online Wagering
Larry Gibbs - January 19, 2021
Online gaming to be a priority focus for 2021, maximizing Hard Rock's major strengths
The company is simultaneously announcing 3 major executive assignments to lead project
Partnering with GiG to provide a platform, several new US states in line for expansion
In an effort to lift focus upon both sports betting and internet gaming on both a national and international scale, Hard Rock International recently announced Hard Rock Digital.
Hard Rock Digital will be the exclusive Hard Rock and Seminole Gaming (SGA) "vehicle for interactive gaming and sports betting, globally". The new platform will leverage HRI and SGA's database of more than 130 million customers and 250 land-based venues across 76 countries.
In creating the new venture, it will eventually provide an "omnichannel offering for interactive gaming and sports betting," leveraging the databases of Hard Rock International and Seminole Gaming.
The project will be capitalized by HRI, SGA, and its partners, who will provide full financial support and backing.
Jim Allen, chairman of Hard Rock International offered these comments about the dedicated new direction for the company:
With the launch of Hard Rock Digital, we are broadening our digital business which enhances consumer experiences and offerings across our interactive gaming and sportsbook offerings. Hard Rock Digital also intends to pursue strategic branding and distribution opportunities both within the US and globally. In the US alone, the potential future market size is estimated at $7 billion for sports betting and $14 billion for online gaming.
Market size projections Allen was referencing were obtained from Morgan Stanley for 2025.
New Project Leaders
Hard Rock Digital will be managed by gaming industry leaders Rafi Ashkenazi, Executive Managing Director and Executive Chair, Marlon Goldstein, Executive Managing Director and CEO, and Matt Primeaux, Executive Managing Director, and President.
Ashkenazi is the former CEO of The Stars Group. He will officially join Hard Rock Digital in 2021 following a garden leave period. Goldstein served as Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer of The Stars Group from 2014 until July, while Primeaux was President of FOX Bet for 15 months. A period from May 2019 to July 2020 as part of a joint venture with The Stars Group.
Goldstein, Executive Managing Director and CEO for Hard Rock Digital was excited to join the team and said:
We are honored to join forces with Hard Rock International on this new venture. Hard Rock International is consistently at the forefront of innovation and vision in the gaming industry and the 'Hard Rock' gaming, hospitality and entertainment venues are iconic worldwide. We look forward to providing an authentic, digital experience for Hard Rock's global fan base within a comprehensive, omnichannel offering.
Hard Rock's Online Gaming Path
Hard Rock has enjoyed a smooth and successful path adding new US states to their online gaming roster, which will undoubtedly continue.
The company has successfully benefitted from its partnership with GiG (Gaming Innovation Group), European-based gaming and sports betting technology provider. Their deal includes the option for further expansion collaboration providing additional US states as legalization continues in 2021.
Results have been explosive in several US states with online gaming dominant. New Jersey announced almost $1 billion dollars handled in December with an incredible 93.2% figure wagered online. Obviously due to the unique COVID-19 circumstances projected to continue deep into 2021.
New Job Opportunities
A new page for Hard Rock Digital hardrockdigital.com has further information with a list of available jobs aligned with the project and expanded plans for 2021. HRI operates casinos in nine states, including five within states that have legal sports betting. That number will soon expand to six once Hard Rock completes construction on a casino in Rockford, Illinois.
In keeping with the goals of the ambitious and confident new venture for 2021, a rollout for several other US state locations seems eminent. No details have been confirmed, but perhaps this strategic action may also be a catalyst in helping Florida become more in focus. A large key state that does not have legalized sports wagering, but with HRI seeking a jump start to become a market leader.

Inflation in Japan remains subdued and of major concern to the BOJ, which was reflected in its monetary policy statement.
On January 29 the Bank of Japan eased monetary policy further by announcing the implementation of negative interest rates of -0.1% on reserves above a certain threshold that financial institutions park at the central bank. In a three-tiered approach, balances below this threshold will be charged either zero percent interest or 0.1%, which is the overnight target rate and which has remained unchanged since 2008. By charging banks to keep excess reserves at the central bank, the BOJ incentivises these institutions to hold cash and strive to lend it out, which should stimulate the credit cycle and boost the economy and inflation.
Some analysts were expecting a change in monetary policy from the BOJ at this meeting, however they were in the minority and as such the announcement surprised markets sending yen pairs booming; USDJPY rallied 285 pips while GBPJPY rallied over 400. After the rapid JPY depreciation across the board, almost all of the moves were retraced before the yen recommenced weakening past initial lows.
In the statement, the BOJ affirmed they will be prepared to lower rates further in necessary. The size of annual bond purchases for the QE program remained unchanged, however the bank indicated that there is no limitation to increasing the program if needed. The bank also extended its forecast for inflation to reach 2%, to around the end of 2017.
These policy changes come only one month after the BOJ decided to extend the duration of the Japanese government bonds (JGBs) that it buys from 10 to 12 years, from 2016, and set up a 300-billion-yen fund to buy exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that specifically target firms actively spending on capital expenditure and wages. With underlying price trends failing to move higher, the bank has had to take these measures in an attempt to stimulate the economy. So long as inflation remains subdued, the BOJ may have to consider further easing measures.
Inflation in Japan remains subdued and of major concern to the BOJ. Headline inflation has been severely affected by the decline in oil prices and as such the BOJ is not particularly focused on this measure. Tokyo-area preliminary CPI excluding food and energy for January rose only 0.4% y/y, below prior expectations of 0.6%. For the month, core prices dropped a full -1.0%.
This preliminary data for the Ku-area of Tokyo comes one month ahead of national data and can therefore be seen as a leading indicator. The decline of -0.4% in core-core prices is concerning for the BOJ and would have contributed to their decision to apply negative rates at the meeting which finished on the same day as the CPI release. Nationwide CPI excluding food and energy for December rose 0.80% y/y, below prior expectations of 0.9%. For the month, core prices fell -0.1%. The BOJ's own measure, which excludes fresh food and energy, rose 1.3% for the year ending December, up from 1.2% for November. This suggests that the BOJ sees the underlying price uptrend as understated by the official statistics bureau release. According to its own metric, prices need only rise another 0.7% to reach target.
After months of yen appreciation, the BOJ's new policy measures provide a fresh bout of weakness on the yen, however this can quickly turn as a result of risk aversion. With the ECB suggesting further easing in March and with the BOJ's surprise measures, we may see some relaxation of the risk-off tone that has been witnessed since the turn of the year. Provided risk sentiment is either neutral or risk-on, yen pairs remain a buy on dips. However selling yen pairs will also be a potential trade if risk-off tone increases, and that will largely depend on data out of China.

Eugen Bopp – worth worrying about?
All eyes will be on Boppy come tomorrow as we meet Rotherham United at Millmoor – the German midfielder has always been a slight figure of mystery. Many fans wrote him off as a one trick pony, seemingly manager after manager did the same as he was consistently overlooked for a regular run in the side after injury at Pride Park took him out of first team reckoning under Paul Hart's reign.
He's certainly given us moments to remember – not least his arrival and goal from the bench to consign Gillingham to join us in the third tier of English football – rather spectacularly ForestForums have a collection of 52 fans who feel their desire to see him back at Forest is some kind of justification for his reinstatement – for reasons best known to those concerned, he's somewhat of a cult terrace hero – something suggests to me perhaps amongst our younger fans – surely nobody who has witnessed genuine legends would use the term for Bopp.
Eugen has been playing regularly for the Millers, and by all accounts is popular with the fans there, and I've noticed his name on the scoresheet more than once – and indeed, on the sent off list! Perhaps he needed to get away from Forest and the weight of expectation that naturally pervades our club from the supporters upwards, perhaps he wanted to rekindle an illicit romance with Gregor Robertson?
Whatever side of the Eugen Bopp divide you fall – I think I'm somewhere close to the 'not really bothered to see him released' side, I bet the majority of Forest fans will be united with the niggling fear that he'll end up scoring against us tomorrow. He's a man Paul Hart described as being too interested in fast cars and women, he was undoubtedly a talented – if inconsistent – player for us, but Forest legend? I think not. Here's hoping he's kept quiet at Millmoor tomorrow, other than that, I hope he does well!
For those of you who would like to relive his finest moment in a Reds shirt, then click the link below!
Finally Forest fully fighting fit for foray..
Well that's a bit of a mouthful, today's entry is brought to you in association with the letter F.. but anyway, rather excitingly for the first time this season, Forest can say they are without injury or suspension issues, giving Calderwood the first opportunity he has had to choose exactly the team he'd like to play – which ultimately should make his job easier, although it brings with it obvious difficulties, and presumably will make more players unhappy.
As Perch returns from suspension, and Gary Holt from injury – presumably one of them will be disappointed come saturday, Grant Holt seems to be subject of endless rumours of unhappiness – I even read on a forum that a loan move for him is imminent! Bennett has been speaking to the press of his frustration at being 'formationed' out of the team – it's going to be a real challenge for Calderwood to keep team spirit high for those players struggling to make a first team impact.
Although the smouldering one has done well so far on this score, so I have faith he'll continue to do so – but now all his strikers are fit it's definitely going to be tricky, particularly since the front line hasn't exactly been delivering the goals (aside from newly converted Commons, who I still think of as a midfielder!) – Tyson must surely be close to a first team start, I imagine Dobie is some way off as we won't want to see the poor lad pick up another injury!

DNA study builds picture of Ice Age Europeans
Genome shows population movements due to climate.
Three approximately 31,000-year-old skulls from Dolni Věstonice in the Czech Republic. For the next 5,000 years, all samples analysed in this study—whether from Belgium, the Czech Republic, Austria, or Italy—are closely related, reflecting a population expansion associated with the Gravettian archaeological culture. Credit: Martin Frouz and Jiří Svoboda
The fates of ice age human groups in Europe were closely linked to climate change, according to an unprecedented study of the genomes of 51 individuals who lived between 45,000 years ago (when modern humans arrived in Europe) and 7,000 years ago.
"We see multiple, huge movements of people displacing previous ones," David Reich of the Harvard Medical School said. "During this first four-fifths of modern human history in Europe, history is just as complicated as it is during the last fifth that we know so much more about."
Reich told the BBC that the 51 ancient individuals comprised "a pretty substantial fraction of the known human skeletons in this period.
"Because we've studied so many ancient humans from Europe from the beginning of the modern human occupation, we're able to form a picture of how populations transformed over time."
The study by Reich, Svante Paabo from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, and others was published in Nature.
It builds a clearer picture than ever before of the people inhabiting Europe during a sweep of 40,000 years of prehistory. That includes details such as skin and eye colour of the individuals (Ice Age Europeans had dark complexions and brown eyes), but also patterns of movement, migration and how different populations were related.
The study suggests that between 37,000 years ago and 14,000 years ago, different groups of Europeans were descended from a single founder population.
The DNA study shows that these founders, one of Europe's most important Ice Age cultures known as the Aurignacian, were displaced between 34,000 and 26,000 years ago by a group of humans called the Gravettians.
Descendants of the founding population, however, can be spotted in south-west Europe towards the end of the Last Glacial Maximum around 19,000 years ago, and it is thought that these people went on to repopulate Europe after the vast ice sheets retreated.
Then, from 14,000 years ago, Europeans became more closely related to populations from the Middle East, the Caucasus and Turkey, probably as a result of migration during the first major warming event at the end of the Ice Age, Reich says.
It was from this time that blue eyes and paler skin seem to have spread throughout Europe, originating with immigrants from the Near East.

Since 2007, we have been raising money to help protect these iconic species and the landscapes that make Kenya truly unique.
Kenya Wildlife Trust was established in 2007 by leaders in the Kenyan safari industry, with the principle aim of strengthening the connection between conservation and tourism.
Over the past decade, we have developed our way of thinking and working. Today, we work with a portfolio of outstanding conservation initiatives in Kenya's key wildlife areas. Since 2013, our flagship Mara Predator Conservation Programme has focused on protecting the cheetah and lion populations of Kenya's iconic Maasai Mara.
As Kenya's principal predator conservation trust, we understand our country's most critical conservation needs and we can create tangible, strategic links between wildlife research, monitoring and effective conservation.
Through our grant-making portfolio, we are committed to funding conservation initiatives (and future conservation leaders) from three of Kenya's most important wildlife areas - the Greater Mara, Laikipia / Samburu and Amboseli / Tsavo.
Right now, Kenya's predators are in trouble. Our lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas and wild dogs are facing more threats than ever before, such as loss of habitat, ecosystems under huge pressure and life-threatening conflict with humans. A growing population, changes in land use and unprecedented levels of sub-division have all led to growing settlements and a significant rise in fences.
In the Maasai Mara, fences are one of the biggest threats facing wildlife, limiting the space and movement that our big cats and other species need to survive and thrive. Work commissioned by our partner the Maasai Mara Wildlife Conservancies Association (MMWCA) in Pardamat Conservation Area showed that as land sales increased around Pardamat, so did the number of fences, demonstrating a direct relationship between fencing and privatisation of land following subdivision. A comparison of total area under fencing over a period of two years (2014 and 2015) showed the number of fences increased in number from 113 (in 2014) to 628 (in 2015), a 455% increase.
While many problems facing the Mara represent a gradual impact on its biodiversity, tourism and wildlife, fencing as described is seen as an immediate barrier to the movement of people, livestock and wildlife, thereby exacerbating these other problems. Recent reconnaissance surveys in the Mara have shown increased loss of wildlife including wildebeest and giraffe by these fences. A common assertion amongst communities is that the fences act as barriers to exclude wildlife and other people's livestock from what is now private property. While this is done to protect food crops, pasture and build up grass banks, there is lack of adequate knowledge of the long implications of fencing on their own livelihoods.
Our flagship Mara Predator Conservation Programme is at the forefront of big cat conservation in Kenya's Maasai Mara, working with communities and schools to support co-existence between wildlife and humans. Focused on research-based conservation of cheetahs and lions, our local team connects scientific findings to practical solutions, all with the goal of stabilizing the Mara's big cat populations.
In addition to our flagship Mara Programme, we support a portfolio of outstanding grassroots projects in other key wildlife areas, where the focus is on community-supported predator conservation. By helping our partners to directly involve local community members in big cat conservation, we have a conservation impact around Kenya.
We aim to support community development projects that demonstrate a direct tie to predator conservation. Kenya's human population is growing at an exponential and alarming rate. This is directly affecting our lions, cheetahs, leopards and other predators by increasing pressure on ecosystems and leading to conflict between humans and wildlife. The issue of land use and fencing has never been more important. We work with partners such as MMWCA to encourage communities to remove fences from their land (specifically in Pardamat Conservation Area), to ensure that wildlife are not cut off from the precious space and corridors they desperately need to survive in the long-term.
Partnering Kenya Wildlife Service to develop new census methodology for counting lions nationwide (based on a model developed by our Mara team).
Key partner in developing a national wildlife poisoning response protocol.
Built and supported one of the best community schools in the Amboseli.
Supported highest number of female students through Koyiaki Guiding School (all Kenyan).
Sponsored highest number of students through Kenya Wildlife Service Training Institute in the last five years.
Our most ambitious project to date - working with partners on a programme which aims to replace a high volume/low value subsistence livestock lifestyle in the conservancies around the Maasai Mara, with a low volume/high value livestock industry, run alongside a free-roaming wildlife and upmarket/low volume tourism product. This is one of the more disruptive and innovative commercial conservation ideas to be implemented on community-owned lands, and directly links to our support of de-fencing in the Pardamat Conservation Area.
Success for Kenya Wildlife Trust through this partnership could be defined in three ways. Firstly, we are looking to increase our number of one-time donors (giving unrestricted gifts), whom we can then steward to become recurring donors. Secondly, we are aiming to raise more project-based donations to help increase efforts to remove fences in the Pardamat Conservation Area. Thirdly, we are looking to engage more global supporters by way of social media followers, with a view to ultimately converting them into donors.


IPv6 Forum Malaysia will periodically host, co-host, participate, promote and or sponsor events that we feel will have good exposure and impact for our initiatives and objectives.
Here, we will list all the events/upcoming events planned.
The cyber revolution of recent years has altered the world we live in. The emergence of new technologies, continuous onslaught of cyber attacks and growing use of connected cloud and virtual platforms have led a huge transformation in the IT security landscape. For many companies, it is no longer just about implementing adequate controls, but protecting critical business processes from the next intrusion or data breach. To survive this complex and dangerous new world, companies must look at their current strategies and vulnerabilities to determine and prioritize the risks within their organization.
The NetworkWorld Asia's 5th Annual Info Security Conference will discuss best practices and steps organizations can take to create a platform for their executives to understand the security challenges that plague the industry and to find ways to build a resilient infrastructure; to secure their corporate data and information assets, while at the same time leverage information security as a means to protecting and improving their revenue generating capabilities.

SARASOTA EVENTS
Water: An Endangered Resource
David Beaton
Posted On Wednesday, 01 April 2015 01:33
Art Opening and Film Screening..........
Opening on Saturday, April 11 at 6pm at the Fogartyville Community Media and Arts Center, the "Water, An Endangered Resource" art exhibit takes the viewer on a visual journey underwater, with interpretations of water, past and present conditions, and Eco Art resolutions. We are pleased to show the works of such international artists as Wayne Eastep, John Moran and Jackie Brookner, among other notable local artists. The exhibit will run through June 8th.
In conjunction with the opening of the Art Exhibit, Florida Food & Water Watch will screen Groundswell Rising, Protecting Our Children's Air and Water, a film that brings us into the lives of people from all walks of life and all sides of the political spectrum who are dedicating themselves to resisting, slowing down or stopping fracking. We meet parents, scientists, artists, teachers, clergy, community organizers and business leaders who are convinced that this unproven form of gas extraction is a serious health and environmental risk. Driven by a deep moral conviction, we see how they are standing up to one of the world's most powerful industries.
After the film screening, learn more about the threat that fracking poses to our Sunshine State through a Q & A with Craig Stevens, a resident from Dimock, Pennsylvania whose community's drinking water was contaminated by fracking. Craig has seen the devastation that the fracking industry can have first hand and will talk about what could await Florida's residents if fracking moves forward in the state.
The art opening and film screening are being sponsored by the Peace Education and Action Center, Food and Water Watch, Physicians for Social Responsibility, Transition Sarasota and Suncoast Waterkeeper. This event is FREE and open to the public. For more information, call 941-545-5635.

Q: Subscribe option missing on linked report We are running SSRS in native mode on SQL2016.
I have deployed a report from Visual Studio that uses a shared data source and that datasource saves sql credentials.
When I right click the report I get a Subscribe option and I've confirmed the subscription works (it saved a file where/when I asked it to and email works, too)
I've also created a linked report that points to that original report. When I right click the linked report, I don't get a Subscribe option.
I can right click and Manage the linked report, and on the Manage screen I can select Subscriptions and the + New Subscription button allows me to create a subscription and I've confirmed that works, too.
I would like to know what I need to do to get the Subscribe option when I right click the linked report like we used to see in an older version of SSRS and that our online documentation suggests should be there!
I've leaving out a lot of technical details because subscriptions work so I must have done most of the configuration correctly. I'm just not sure why I can't simply right click and subscribe to a linked report without doing it a round about way and Managing it first.

A performance driving school was a revolutionary idea in 1962, but few people are better at breaking new ground than Carroll Shelby! He had high performance cars and the nearby Riverside racetrack at his fingertips. The math was simple. The Carroll Shelby School of High Performance Driving was formed and served as a forerunner of many similar schools in existence today.
Countless young drivers took their turns behind the wheel of the 'T' car in hope of honing their driving skills under the watchful eyes of Carroll Shelby and his chief instructors, Pete Brock and John Timanus. Many hours were spent discussing theory and technique using a chalk board before any time was spent at the wheel of the Cobra, but when the time came, it was a memorable experience for those fortunate enough to participate.


We have seen Violet and Chevy's roller coaster romance from the views of other people and now we finally dive right into it. Chevy is stuck between the two worlds that he loves so much, the Terror and the one football life. But more importantly between his grandfather and his love for Violet and his mom.
The story kicks right off with a big conflict for Chevy and Violet that ultimately dictates the problems that they both have throughout the rest of the book. The war is brewing and only getting worse between the Riot and the Terror but on the plus side we get the answers to a lot of the questions that we have from the other two books.
There is a surprise, but not so much if you read the other two books, in the Pushing the Limits series. We get to see how both worlds are connected and the connection will absolutely blow your mind. I loved how McGarry was able to connect them while keeping them separate at the same time.
I think that the biggest thing that I pulled from this story is that it's about both Violet and Chevy finding their voice. Chevy, like Violet said a few times throughout that the book, has a hard time making a decision and telling those around him what he wants. Violet is the opposite. She voices her opinion to anyone that will listen. Only problem is that nobody actually listens. That struggle and frustration that she has comes off ten-fold through the pages that you feel just as frustrated as she does.
The writing that Katie McGarry does something that I haven't seen in to many other authors. She does get you emotionally attached to the characters (as many authors can do) but she can make you feel what the characters feel. That is beyond just writing down words on page. That writing that doesn't only paint the picture, but grabs at your heart and tells you which way to feel.
I can't wait to see where Katie McGarry takes us next, but I know that wherever it's going to be, it's going to be epic.

Home Community 10 new teachers on board at Ashburton College; 1270 students
10 new teachers on board at Ashburton College; 1270 students
New teachers at Ashburton College were getting to know their way around campus this week.
Ashburton College will start the new school year with a roll of 1270 students and 10 new teachers.
Principal Ross Preece said two of the new teachers were returning from overseas because of covid and four were beginning teachers.
They are teaching subjects including physical education, science, English and maths.
"One is coming from Melbourne and has been in lockdown. One is coming from England and has been in lockdown. They are New Zealand-trained teachers coming home."
He said three of the four beginning teachers had been on teacher placements at the college last year. "We were impressed by them and they obviously by us."
He said teacher appointments made in the past week meant the school was starting 2021 fully-staffed.
Among the new students will be 285 Year 9s, in their first year at college. This is up from the 270 expected.
Mr Preece said family circumstances had changed for some and other families had moved to Mid Canterbury for employment.
He is hoping 2021 will have no covid disruption to classes but the school is prepared to take learning online quickly if students have to stay at home.
While most students had their own electronic devices, the school would distribute 100 Ministry of Education devices to families who had none. Teachers also had online versions of their lessons ready to roll.
Mr Preece said the school and community had learned a lot about online learning during last year's covid lockdown and they were better prepared this year.
"If we get 40 covid uninterrupted weeks, I will be delighted though."
He said students sitting NCEA last year achieved "solid rather than spectacular" marks, despite the challenges of 2020.
He said endorsement levels, where students were recognised with merit or excellence above the pass level, were down from 35 per cent to 25 per cent but that would be covid-related.
The college was generally achieving slightly better than schools in a similar decile, he said.
The college is continuing to work on its $60 million rebuild plans, with concept plans being reviewed by the ministry.
"We are hoping that by the end of this term, our master plan will be finalised and we have something to share with the community."
The new campus could include solar power and other environmentally sustainable features, as well as a large covered area that could also be used for community events.

Marvel Studios Reveals the 2 Traits New Directors Need to Get Hired In the MCU
By Richard Nebens Posted: December 05, 2022
One of Marvel Studios' top executives revealed what qualities directors need to have if they want to lead an MCU project.
Marvel Studios is home to some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry, which applies just as much to behind-the-scenes personnel as well. From Oscar-nominees like Black Panther: Wakanda Forever's Ryan Coogler to fan favorites like Guardians of the Galaxy's James Gunn, Marvel employs a wide range of creatives to bring its movies and TV shows to life.
This trend will continue in Phase 5 and beyond with both newcomers and Marvel veterans alike, although many continue to wonder - what exactly does it take to be considered for a directorial position within the MCU?
Thankfully, one of the studio's leading executives took a moment recently to answer that question as the Multiverse Saga gets ready to continue in the next few months.
Marvel VP on Choosing Marvel Studios Directors
During an appearance on The Town with Matthew Belloni, Marvel Studios Vice President of Production & Development Nate Moore spoke about what the studio looks for when choosing its new directors.
Belloni looked back to Marvel's "unprecedented run with filmmakers who are not conventional choices" for those movies, specifically touching on Jon Favreau's work on the original Iron Man movie while also mentioning Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok) and James Gunn.
When asked what the studio looks for in these directors, Moore noted how the directors have to "have at least done something exceptional once" and have to be "passionate about the movie that (they) want to make:"
"I think the things we look for, there are two things, I think, and in my experience this has been true. We look for filmmakers who have at least done something exceptional once, right? Because making a movie's hard and sometimes a movie that someone is really invested in doesn't come together for a lot of reasons that are in their control or out of their control. But, have they shown excellence? And are they passionate about making the movie that we want to make?
Moore pointed out Joe and Anthony Russo before they started their work on Captain America: The Winter Soldier as an example:
"And that sounds pretty simple, but I'll give you the example of Joe and Anthony Russo. So we were making Winter Soldier, we had a draft from Markus & McFeely, we were really excited about it. This was, again, this was ten years ago…"
Although the Russos were pulled from the TV world, they got a general meeting with Marvel after their work on Welcome to Collingwood and Community and explained that they "always wanted to do a political-thriller" during their chat:
"… Because, I am a fan of Welcome to Collingwood and I loved Community. And Kevin [Feige] loved Arrested Development. So even though their last movie wasn't a big hit, it was called You, Me and Dupree, and it sort of didn't connect in the way they wanted it to, we had a general meeting with them and we really liked them. And Joe said in that meeting, 'Hey, I know you think we're comedy directors, because we've been in TV comedy for certainly a long time, we've always wanted to do a political-thriller. I love political thrillers.' 'Oh, you do, Joe? That's interesting.' He's like, 'Yeah.'"
Moore and the team asked the Russos what they would do with a Captain America story set in modern times, leading to the Russos explaining the ideas that they'd already come up with:
"And we said, 'What would you do if you were doing a Captain America movie set today…' And he and Anthony sort of described a version of the movie we were already developing. Now certainly, the details weren't the same, but their point of view on the character… and the tone was exactly what we wanted to achieve. And so even, they didn't have anything in their filmic resume that said, 'Hey, they should do Winter Soldier,' we were like, 'Yeah, but they've done something great.'"
The pair also wanted the challenge of working on a movie with Marvel Studios due to how difficult it is and because Marvel is "hard on filmmakers," always being "willing to roll with the punches" throughout the process:
"I think Community is great, Kevin thinks Arrested Development is fantastic, let's just try to see if we can help them move over. And they also really wanted to do the movie, because filmmaking is hard and we are hard on filmmakers, because we're always trying to make the movie as good as we can. And the filmmakers that are dying to do the movie are the ones who tend to have the stamina to get through kind of the 'Dark Night of the Soul' moment where everything's going wrong, or everything's over budget, or what we wanted to do isn't working out, and they were always willing to roll with the punches, because they wanted to make the movie."
How Marvel Continues Bringing Top-Notch Directors
Looking at the MCU's history with directors and the names that are lined up for the future, Marvel's trend of finding people who have done exceptional work and have passion for that work seems to have paid off well.
Although directors like Jon Favreau and the Russos Brothers didn't have a great deal of critically-acclaimed work on their resumes before joining Marvel, Moore and the team saw something special in them that led to them making movies that are still loved to this day. Although this isn't an easy task for the MCU's director (Ryan Coogler admitted to having plenty of doubts about making Black Panther), the Marvel Studios team continually offers support and resources in order to accomplish their lofty goals.
This trend will continue into projects being developed for Phase 6 and beyond, with a few specific movies boasting director positions that are highly coveted like Fantastic Four and Avengers: Secret Wars. Movies like these will certainly need directors who boast the exceptional talent and passion that Marvel is looking for, although the MCU team has certainly been trending in the right direction recently.

Upstate contractors killed in Afghanistan bombing
Two Fluor Daniels employees were among four killed in a bomb attack at Bagram Airfield.
Upstate contractors killed in Afghanistan bombing Two Fluor Daniels employees were among four killed in a bomb attack at Bagram Airfield. Check out this story on independentmail.com: https://www.independentmail.com/story/news/2016/11/15/upstate-contractors-killed-afghanistan-bombing/93890232/

The father of Townville Elementary School teacher Meghan Hollingsworth was killed in a suicide bomb attack on the Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan early Saturday morning.
Tom Dobbins, chairman of the Anderson School District 4 Board of Trustees, said he could confirm that another tragedy had hit Hollingsworth's family.
Teen in custody in Townville school shooting
Hollingsworth is the teacher who helped escort students to safety during a shooting at Townville Elementary School on Sept. 28.
School officials did not provide the name of Hollingsworth's father, citing requests for privacy by the family.
Two Fluor employees killed along with two soldiers in the attack, the company confirmed in a statement Tuesday.
Fluor, a Texas-based construction and engineering company with significant operations in the Upstate, said in a prepared statement that it does not identify employees by name and would not confirm what type of work the employees were doing in Afghanistan.
One of the contractors was Presbyterian College alumnus Jarrold Reeves, according to a statement on the college's Facebook page, and confirmed by college spokesman Ryan Barker.
Reeves was a retired colonel in the U.S. Army and was in Afghanistan as a contractor, according to college officials who spoke to Reeves' family, Barker said.
A LinkedIn page matching Reeves' name says he had worked for Fluor since 2011, and he had commanded thousands of troops before leaving the Army that year. As a Fluor employee, the LinkedIn page says, Reeves oversaw 4,000 people covering areas including food service, water distribution, transportation and sanitation repairs and engineering.
Superheroes in Townville honor 'heart of an angel'
On the LinkedIn page, Reeves says he is a runner. ABC News reported that the victims in the bombing were taking part in a 5K run to commemorate Veterans Day.
"We are deeply saddened by this news and our thoughts and prayers go out to the deceased employees' families and friends," noted Fluor in its statement. "Our priority right now is the safety and security of employees working on the base and supporting the families of the two colleagues we have lost."
The attack also killed two soldiers: Sgt. John W. Perry, a 30-year-old from Stockton, California, and Pfc. Tyler R. Iubelt, a 20-year-old from Tamaroa, Illinois.
The Saturday attack involved an improvised explosive device, according to a statement from the Department of Defense. Approximately 14 others were injured in the attacks, according to a statement from NATO-led Resolute Support operation in Afghanistan.

Have you ever experienced a spiritual "dry spell" when you couldn't sense God was real, your prayers fell flat, and the Bible seemed like nothing more than black print on white pages? If during those times you were keeping a diary, you might have discovered that the dry spells occurred when your mind and heart were focused on someone or something other than the person of Jesus Christ. The remedy for such spiritual droughts is learning how to seek the Lord in a scriptural manner.
All through the Scriptures, we are admonished to seek Him. Seeking means that we desire Him, hunger for Him, and desire to grow in intimacy with Him. It does not mean going to the Lord laden with requests so you can get your needs met. Seeking Him may include needs and requests, but it goes far deeper. It means building an intimate relationship where the focus is not just getting my "things," but being satisfied with Him.
One way to seek God is by developing a continual subconscious awareness of Jesus' presence. You can't consciously be thinking of Him every moment, but if you are a believer and know what it means to walk in the Spirit, Jesus will always be there—a sense of His presence will come and go, even when you are meticulously engrossed in something else. Set your heart to avoid any kind of relationship, pleasure, or experience that leaves Him out. Instead, seek the Lord fully; you will be wholly satisfied and richly rewarded.

Q: Search List of a type for exact variable I want to create a function that would search a list for something and return bool.
MyList has multiple elements inside. Each has a variable name assigned different string. I want to search the list for a particular name.
Example:
public class Type
{
    public string name;
}

List<Type> MyList;

bool FindByName(string str)
{
    foreach (Type type in MyList)
    {
        if (type.name == str)
            return true;
    }
}

The FindByName function is what I would like to make universal. A function that would take:
List<T>, NameOfVariableToLookIn, U WhatToLookFor

And you could just give the function:
List<Type>, name, string str

Worried if this is even possible. I really don't want to write a new function for each new list I create.

A: You could use the Any() extension method from System.Linq namespace. And you could implement an extension method. For sample:
public static class Extensions
{
    public static bool FindByName(this IEnumerable<Type> list, string str)
    {
        return list.Any(x => x.name == str);
    }
}

Remember, an extension method is a static method instead and not part of the list so you should  reference Extensions class. You could use it like this:
List<Type> MyList = new List<Type>();
MyList.Add(..); // add objects

var exists = MyList.FindByName("john");
