For if I do this work of my own free will, then I have a reward; but if it is not of my will [but by God's choosing], I have been entrusted with a [sacred] stewardship.
Good morning! We are so thankful to have survived the storm with no damage. Today, Britt and I are celebrating our anniversary a little late by spending the day together.
The subject of "choices" is heavy on my mind. God is a respecter of people. He gives us free-will. Yet, we struggle with our choices. How many times have you been in the store or maybe on the Internet shopping, and seen something you feel like you can't live without? You can't afford it, but really want it. Have you ever juggled bills mentally? I am reminded of a time that I fell in love with a special Bible. It was beautiful. The pages were embossed with roses. There were beautiful images in the Bible and I loved the way the synthetic pink leather felt. For a year I visited the book store and walked around carrying the Bible like it was a baby. Every time I put the Bible back on the shelf and didn't purchase it for myself. I did, however, buy the Bible as a gift for someone else. The recipient seemed pleased at the time, but I later learned that they didn't like it. One day I was driving down the road and saw the book store was closing. I rushed over, but the Bible was gone. As soon as I got home from work, I searched the Internet and found one for half the price on Amazon. I ordered it right away and felt that immediate contentment. The next day I learned it was on back order. It stayed on back order for six months. However, individuals were selling the once $40 Bible ($25 on Amazon) for over $2,000. I gave up and ordered a similar Bible, which I didn't need. The next day the Bible I wanted shipped out. I ended up spending $50 for two Bibles I didn't need. Yet, I was excited to receive my beautiful Bible. Guess what? It's untouched in the same place I set it when it arrived. The truth is I have several Bibles and I didn't need another Bible, especially because it looked pretty. Bad financial decisions are painful down the road and take a toll on relationships. In fact, how many divorces have you noted due to finances?
Have you ever fallen in love and wanted to give into physical desires when you weren't married? It seems commonplace now, but Paul covers this sin of the flesh in the Book of Galatians. Maybe you have already succumbed to the passion and now you are in a difficult situation related to that decision? Or maybe you are stressed at home and a pretty face provides a temptation you are unable to resist. Have you resorted to crime in order to feed your family? Have you ever been faced with a difficult ethical decision at work? Have you made bad decisions in how you treat others?
The list goes on and on. Not only do your decisions affect you, but also others. Even if no one knows about your bad decision, your attitude and actions will show what is going on inside of you. Some decisions take many years to overcome. Some decisions may change your life forever or even result in a physical death.
So, what do you do? You can't be indecisive for long periods of time. The answer is accept Christ as your personal savior. Build a good relationship with God. Study your Bible daily. Build relationships with other Christians. Then, when you have an important decision, ask for God's guidance. It's that simple! What a super gift! Yet, it does take a little effort every day. The good news is that if you have made bad decisions, and we all have, you can ask for forgiveness and realize that it takes time overcome bad decisions.
Have a wonderful Wednesday and spread God's love everywhere you go. God bless you.
Clarifying note. After I posted today, my husband pointed out that the Bible tells us in Acts 10:34-35 that "God is no respecter of persons". However, the phrase is used in a different context. My reference was in regard to personal free-will. God respects our free-will. Acts 10 is referencing God showing no partiality.
Amen! Glory to God in the highest!

Q: Creating an array of size 1000000000 in c++ gave me the following error. Please help me understand and solve it I need to create an array of size 1000000000.
#include<iostream>
#include<cstdlib>
#include<math.h>
#include<cmath>
using namespace std;
unsigned long long int arr[1000000000];
int ZofF(long long int n)
{
    for(unsigned long long int i=1;i<=1000000000;i++)
{
}
}
int main()
{
    return 0;
}

I get an error such as this:

C:\Users\TARUNM~1\AppData\Local\Temp\cccgeKSu.s    Assembler messages:

There was a solution:
How to handle an array with size 1,000,000,000 in C++?
I have tried to divide it into multiple arrays, I didn't actually understand the solution from the above link.
Here is the code:

    #include<iostream>
    #include<cstdlib>
    #include<math.h>
    #include<cmath>
    using namespace std;
    unsigned long int arr[125000000];
    unsigned long int ar2[125000000];
    unsigned long int ar3[125000000];
    unsigned long int ar4[125000000];
    unsigned long int ar5[125000000];
    unsigned long int ar6[125000000];
    unsigned long int ar7[125000000];
    unsigned long int ar8[125000000];
    int ZofF(long long int n)
    {
        for(unsigned long long int i=1;i<=250000000;i++)
        {
        }
    }
    int main()
    {
        return 0;
    }

But this code gave me the following error.

Please help me understand why this happens and how to create an array of size 1000000000. I use a 64 bit Windows 8.1 on i5 core with 4Gb RAM. Do I have to upgrade my hardware?

A: Why do you need to create an array of size 1000000000? What problem are you trying to solve here? Maybe a std::vector would be a better choice depending on what type of data you're trying to store. Again, it really depends on what kind of problem you're trying to solve here.

A: long long int has at least 64 bits in size.
1000000000 * 64 is about 8 Gb, which is larger than your RAM.
This would be your physical memory limit.
Another limit is the maximum size of std::size_t set in your system. You can find it out by following:
#include <iostream>
#include <limits>

int main () {
    std::cout << std::numeric_limits<size_t>::max()<<std::endl;
    return 0;
}

BUT, like Andrew said, it is never a common way to solve any problem like this. I recommend you to upgrade your code rather than your hardware :)

A: Your question is not quite clear as to when the errors are reported, but it looks to me like it is during compile or link, not run time.
If true, it follows that this is nothing to do with your hardware, but a limitation of your compiler/linker/loader.
You could check the documentation to determine whether there are options to allow larger arrays.
However, as per other linked answers, you should almost certainly be using dynamic memory allocation here, not a statically defined array.
When doing so, make sure to check for an allocation failure.
    const size_t numElements = 1000000000;
    unsigned long long* arrayData = new unsigned long long[numElements];
    if (arrayData == nullptr)
    {
        // Problem.
    }
    else
    {
        // All good.
        // Use it.
        // Clean up using array delete.
        delete[] arrayData;
    }

Now, you might still need to keep the overall size below 4GB, so chunk into multiple underlying arrays as per your other code.
If you do all this, you will still hit a problem due to lack of system memory at run time.
You can either buy more RAM ( and you'll want 8GB for this as well as more for the rest of the system), or rethink your approach, dividing the problem into small pieces.

Excuse me:rolleyes:
EDM/SSK are relying on 40% of their revenues just from gates. Winnipeg is tougher to discern since they change the categorization of their revenues every few years.
I would have to take a look at the financial reports for the team. Too lazy to right now. Perhaps, Edmonton, Saskatchewan are including suites/club seats, concessions and in-stadium advertising in the gate revenues? Also, sponsorships can include blocks of seats or the rights to buy blocks of empty seats for pennies on the dollar to that could possibly be tied in the gat revenue as well depending on how they account for it
It would be affected by league-wide attendance, then, if they're league-wide sponsors. League-wide attendance has been increasing the past few years and is only stalling because the new stadiums they're building are effectively a drag on the current league average (LA/DC, and MIN when it comes online are all below or at league average attendance). It would also affect TV deals since you can still see sponsors when viewing on TV.
That's true. I am referring to sponsorship at a local/regional level
For 2019, Portland's stadium expansion moves that stadium from 21K to 25K and Cincinnati joining the league provides a 25K-30K bump to the average.
Shirt sponsor revenue by Canadian MLS team, per year:
Montreal (BMO): $4M
Toronto (BMO): $4M
Vancouver (Bell): $3.9M
http://www.totalfootballmag.com/feat...are-to-europe/
Either way it's a hefty amount of money to invest in a team. The thing with the investor-operator model for MLS franchise ownership is that profits and deficits are filtered through MLS as a whole. Saputo may lose $10M/year on the Impact but if the franchise valuation, revenues, and cash flows increase then that's fine in the short-term. It's if revenues level off where there is an issue with running in the red.
Teams are only worth what individuals are willing to pay for them. In fairness there was a team that sold a few years ago for slightly higher then the Forbes estimate so in that case they seemed to be reasonably accurate.
I think another team sold as well. The terms of the sale for the Columbus Crew haven't been released as I believe it is still being negotiated. We haven't seen one of the big teams sell though so those values may be speculative at this point.
Again, MLS teams make more from revenues than simply what their stadium is able to provide them. VWFC's situation at BC Place isn't great, though.
Yes, they do. The gate from the stadium and ancillary revenues from the stadium are by far the most important. The WhiteCaps ancillary revenues from BC Place can generously be described as lacking as well. They also lie about attendance, not new in the world of sports but something to make note of.
https://biv.com/article/2016/07/vanc...attendance-num
That would be $1M each just for the sleeve.
There was an article stating that each team would received an additional $1 million per season as an addional corporate patch is to be placed on the jersey
The current TV deal will grow when it expires in 2021/2022. Average ratings in both the US and Canada have been increasing year over year, and MLS is the only NA sports league that has seen consistent year over year growth over the past half decade. The new jersey deal with Adidas is a sign that sponsors are willing to go in on the sport, and having a sponsor like Target bail on NASCAR before committing to MLS says a lot about the corporate atmosphere south of the border right now.
The current TV deal should increase, but by how much remains to be seen. Ratings did not increase year-over-year the previous season before this one.
https://www.libertynation.com/the-po...league-soccer/
The league's bread and butter – TV ratings – is lagging. During regular-season matchups, TV viewers averaged fewer than 300,000. And it wasn't great for the MLS Cup final either, which drew in 11 million viewers, a 43% decline across ESPN and Univision Deportes. This is bad news since ratings drive advertising.
Ratings on TSN are still so small that they refuse to publish them.
See bolded.

Because sports advertising is about more than simply counting TV viewers every week. It's a very antiquated way to look at things by simply looking at TV numbers alone and assuming X=Y.
I would expect then that CFL teams should be able to garner at least $8 million for jersey sponsors, seeing as they get at least 4-5 times the tv viewers... seems like real bad business either on the jersey sponsor for spending that much, or the CFL teams not raking in at least twice or three times what TFC, Van or Mtl get.
Again, there's more going on than simply TV. This isn't the 1980s anymore.
Unfortunately the CFL doesn't make public any sponsorship figures. There are some team numbers available, though.
Edmonton total operating revenue for 2017 was $25M (rounded up).
Sponsorships made up 21.5% of operating revenue.
Sponsorship revenue in 2017: $5.35M
That's total sponsorship revenue for a CFL team in a strong football market.
Here's a full breakdown for the Eskimos 2017 operating revenue sources, courtesy of their annual report:
Gate Receipts 39.40% ($10.0M)
Sponsorships 21.50% ($5.35M)
CFL (TV) 17.00% ($4.30M)
Concessions/Game Day 16.70% ($4.20M)
Merchandise 4.70% ($1.25M)
Post-Season 0.10%
TOTAL REVENUE $25M
And $1 million each JUST for the sleeve?... seems crazy to think ad sponsors are willing to pay that much for such minimal eyes to see. CFL teams should get with it Andy start raking in multi millions worth, if TFC is setting that standard.
TFC isn't setting the standard - MLS is. The difference between MLS TV audiences and CFL TV audiences is that MLS audiences are younger on average and sponsors aren't going after older viewers. There's nothing in it for a sponsor to go after older viewers because their buying habits are less likely to change.
Remember, the 18-49 demographic on CFL TSN in 2016 only accounts for 32% of the viewing audience. The rest is 50+.

A portion of Orlando City was sold and that put the value of the team at roughly $500M. Probably a bit of an overvaluation, IMO, but that's sort of what's setting the bar. I don't think anything with Columbus has been released but that's understandable given how messy that whole situation was.
I don't even know where to begin with that article. Most of it is rubbish and lifted from Wikipedia by the looks of it. Have you looked at the home page of that website?
Here's Forbes saying that MLS viewership grew in 2017 year over year (not by a ton), and here's SBD confirming 2018 growth in TV figures.
Again, it's 2018, and there's more going on than simply putting a magnifying glass on TV numbers and expecting them to answer all your questions.
Corporations in Canada hardly ever post TV ratings - only during playoffs or marquee matchups. I think CFLPR only publicly announced ratings for opening weekend and then went radio silent. The only sourcing we have for those are 3downnation. Bell usually posts playoffs numbers and that's it. This isn't an issue with MLS on TSN, it's an issue with all sports. How often do we hear about Raptors ratings? Or Leafs ratings? Very rarely, and certainly not for every game.
Again, even if MLS TV numbers are lower in Canada than CFL numbers, it's the demographic that counts. If a million people on average watch a CFL game but nearly 700K of them are over 50 that doesn't mean anything to advertisers. Companies are looking to sell to young people and more young people watch soccer than football. :P

I don't really want to see the CFL put ads on their jerseys, but it might be a good idea depending on how much companies are willing to pay for it. It could be a solid boost to their bottom lines which can help combat the stagnant attendance and TV ratings. Especially if it could help lead to higher salaries for the players, I'm all for it; unfortunately the CFL isn't in the position where they should/could turn down a few million for each team.
I'm sure they can do better than CP Rail if they wanted to.

1. Cfl has had sponsor patches on their jerseys for years
2. CP rail is one of the largest most profitable companies in canada that sure provides the CFL with a large steady income stream. Not to mention credibilty as CP is a very credible company

Problem is no one watches MLS in Canada, when the cult millennial following tires in the local markets, they're could have a real problem. TSN was looking at cancelling the contract a few years ago, when the ratings averaged 38k. Had TFC not started performing better it could have been gone, but they saved themselves for the present.
Just wondering how you think the PGA Golf tour is able to air every week on network TV with its dearth of young viewers?
You're always the first guy who goes into the CFL thread to shit on any good news someone posts. Why is that? No one goes into your MLS/TFC thread, in fact there's not too many posts there at all.

Has there been any actual sign of this happening, though? Otherwise it's just idle speculation.

Any sourcing on this? Regardless, TSN viewing figures for TFC in 2018 are nearly quadruple that number, and all three teams are north of 100K. Impact averaged 114K on TVA this year, as well.
Tiger. The PGA tour is hitting eight and nine year highs now that he's competitive again.
NASCAR would be a better comparison in the US for the CFL, but this thread isn't about the US and Golf numbers in Canada are rarely available. :)
Tiger.
You know golf did exist before Mr Woods. Bear
Any sourcing on this? Regardless, TSN viewing figures for TFC in 2018 are nearly quadruple that number.
Stop, I think I've just hurt my ribs :)

I thought they were largely business-oriented). Open the jersey up to bigger ads and I imagine you'd get the banks and companies like Microsoft bidding for it since it would expand their marketing and possibly get them more customers.

Who buys Audis, who buys bottles of Veuve-Cliquot, who buys vacation properties?

Young people bring energy to the event, older people bring cash.
JHikka Nov 14, 2018 4:00 PM
Oh, I didn't say anything about advertisers not caring about those 50+ - it's just that they care more about younger people for the sake of trending future business.
Today, maybe.

"Why you're seeing the fervor now is just where millennials are headed — out from the younger part of their life stage to where they're in their first profession, they're getting married, having children and influencing more spending," said Christine Barton, a senior partner and managing director at the Boston Consulting Group.
As a result, businesses are terrified that if they don't snare them now, they'll miss the chance.

I think cfldb had a little blurb about there being confusion when the CP patches were added to jerseys because people didn't know what CP stood for or that it was a railway company. I think some people were reaching out asking if the patch meant the player was a Canadian Player or a Captain or something.
esquire Nov 14, 2018 4:37 PM
Ha, I could totally see people thinking it was part of the uniform. The CP patches didn't have a recognizable logo or anything, they just said "CP"... they didn't look all that dissimilar from the captain patches you see in the NFL.

Couple numbers from this article on the potential sale of the BC Lions:
https://theprovince.com/sports/footb...-has-old-teeth
"Woodall and Keith made Braley a formal offer last year in the $14-million range that was rejected. That offer is now off the table, largely because the two businessmen believe the Lions are a diminishing asset. Average attendance was actually up marginally this year over last from 19,858 per game in 2017 to 19,975 in 2018. That ended a run of seven consecutive seasons in which attendance fell."
"We're back at 2002 or 2003 with where the organization sits," Woodall said.
There are other factors to consider. The Ottawa Redblacks, for example, paid a franchise fee of a reported $7 million when they came into the league for the 2014 season. The number for the proposed team in the Maritimes hasn't been made public but it's thought to be in that range.
Braley, meanwhile, has maintained there are other parties interested in owning the team. Again, that may be the case, and Canucks Sports and Entertainment remains a wild card as a potential buyer.
But a quick check with sources said they also believe the asking price is too high, which brings us back to Woodall and Keith."

CFL Playoff Ratings
http://3downnation.com/2018/11/16/cf...f-numbers-dip/
"The Winnipeg Blue Bomber's win over the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the West semi drew an average audience of 1,280,000, making it the most-watched game of the CFL season thus far. The Riders have been the league's top draw by a significant margin in 2018 and the game was close all the way to the final whistle.
But the East semifinal between the B.C. Lions and Hamilton Tiger-Cats was a blowout early and ended with the Ticats winning 48-8, which goes some way to explain the disappointing audience of 697,800. That's less than the Ticats Labour Day game against the Argos, which drew 744,000."
^ 28-0 at the half feels great when you're a Ticats fan, but I guess it doesn't do much for the ratings!

Looks like NFL viewership in Canada is up again this year.
NFL TV viewership in Canada up 19% over last year
An empirical study conducted for the NFL revealed there are 12 million NFL fans in Canada this year, Turcke said – up 7% from 2017.
"That's a big number. That's a third of the country," she said. "We're big in Canada, we're going to get bigger and we're going to stay, that's for sure."

Early Sunday afternoon: 890,000, up 12%.
Late Sunday afternoon: 969,000, up 16%.
Sunday night: 825,000, up 33%.
Monday night: 597,000, up 12%.
Thursday night: 634,000, up 12%."
As the article outlines some of this increase is simply due to moving games around on channels (between Sportnets and CTV2, or TSN, or whatever) but some of it is raw year-over-year increase as a whole.

Has the question ever been answered (with proof) if Ottawa is a measured TV market included in national ratings?
SignalHillHiker Nov 17, 2018 8:37 PM
Strange thing has happened here... the St. John's Edge are one of the more successful baskbetball teams in their league. Carl English said it was easy to recruit this year telling the American men, "Oh we'll get nearly 5K on a weeknight, more on the weekends, and they're very vocal..." - they were surprised.
On the flipside... the Newfoundland Growlers (ECHL) hockey team is on its 7th straight win and they're struggling to fill the seats.
Via Numeris:
http://assets.numeris.ca/Documents/D...ed_Markets.pdf
AFAIK all of the communities included in the above pdf are included in their National numbers (except for Quebec, which gets its own separate release) for TV Top 30 weekly ratings.
To answer your question: Yes, most likely Ottawa is included in national ratings.
Originally Posted by SignalHillHiker (Post 8382742)
A cursory glance at the NBLCanada annual report from last season shows that the Edge only drew near 5,000 for a regular season game on a handful of occasions and only drew over 5,000 once - in a playoff game. I haven't done any of the math but it looks like they drew equal crowds last year to what the Growlers have been drawing so far this year (the Growlers are averaging 3,880 so far this season).
isaidso Nov 17, 2018 11:05 PM
Quite a leap but isn't this a Canadian Sports thread? It doesn't belong here any more than news about Germany's Bundesliga or India's IPL

SignalHillHiker Nov 18, 2018 12:33 AM
Ooh, that's not what they're claiming on radio. They said nearly 5,000 every game, over on weekends. Verbatim. Is there a way to see the Growlers attendance? :D Because if they're comparable, then that's probably an intentional exaggeration to make that point.
Marty_Mcfly Nov 18, 2018 2:06 AM
Last season the Edge averaged 3638 attendees per game. Likely there were more during the weekend, and less during the weekday. That average though is 2nd highest in the league, behind only the London Lightning.
I would suspect Growler attendance is around that, possibly a little more. Average attendance numbers probably aren't available yet since it's their first season and the season is still young. Their first home game was a sellout though, at around 6200 people, and night two has 5325 attendees. I would guess it'll even out around 4000-4200 a game, which is around what the Ice Caps averaged in their lame duck (ie. last) year in St. John's, when everyone knew they were leaving so they decided to try and not get any more emotionally invested.
EDIT: I found the ECHL's reports on attendance, I'll get you a number.
EDIT 2: Good guess on my part, their current average attendance is 3929 a game.
^ I wonder if there is some hockey fatigue in St. John's with the carousel of teams that have been coming and going over the last 20 years? It's probably tough to build up much of a clientele when every few years it's a new team and a new league starting from scratch again... that type of disruption probably doesn't create the most enticing proposition for local hockey fans. If I was faced with that I'd probably opt to stay home and watch the NHL on TV instead.
Marty_Mcfly Nov 18, 2018 3:39 PM
It showed in the last IceCaps season. People just didn't want to care anymore knowing the fate of the team. It shouldn't be a problem with the ECHL Growlers, though there is definitely less interest in watching the ECHL over the AHL.
I'm more surprised that the NBL has done so well in the city. There was never any indication that people cared about basketball.
As long as it's ratings in Canada I don't see the harm. :hmmm:
We have a thread for sports in Canadian culture which is more aimed at general conversation around sport in Canada as a whole.
I think it's less hockey fatigue and more the ECHL just being...not very great hockey, with limited local flavour. Teams that work well in NFLD are either local (QMJHL) or a decent quality (AHL). The ECHL fails at both, at least IMO. The carousel of teams doesn't exactly help either, as Marty pointed out.
blueandgoldguy Nov 19, 2018 10:13 PM
I remember the St. John's Ice Caps thread on the Winnipeg Jets forum at the HFBoards years ago. I seem to recall some of the members there stating that the AHL was more popular in St. John's then the CHL.
How is the calibre of the ECHL compared to the CHL (LHJMQ)?
JHikka Nov 19, 2018 10:23 PM
The Q is the weakest of the three CHL leagues but they still have a lot of players go on to play NHL as well as AHL, ECHL, CIS, and in Europe. The ECHL is mostly a deadend for most players before they go to Europe, CIS, or elsewhere. Not many make it to the NHL from there. I'd say the CHL is a higher quality and better product overall.
This would make sense given that St. John's has had decades of AHL hockey and only three years of CHL hockey to compare, especially given the fact that the Fog Devils were all kinds of bad.
And the AHL would be above the CHL. Though obviously some CHL matchups likely give some AHL games a run for their money.
Indeed. There are have teams in the CHL and have-not teams in the CHL. I would take a top CHL game over a top AHL game but I would take a bottom AHL game over a bottom CHL game, if that makes sense.
I think you meant a bottom AHL game, but I know what you mean.
Even though it's anathema to some (:P), you get some CFL games that are more entertaining and better executed than some NFL games.
No, I meant the CHL has a higher ceiling for entertainment than the AHL, although the AHL has done better lately at having lineups that are more relevant and less comprised of goony 30-somethings. The closer the AHL gets to being a U25 league the better it'll be, IMO.
AHL players are at a more mature level of development than CHLers, but the teams are often a mix of guys wanting to break into the NHL and older ones just playing out the string.
CHL rosters aren't as seasoned but no one is there to simply play out the string.
blueandgoldguy Nov 26, 2018 9:31 PM
CFL ratings were up five percent this year, with an average of 730,000 per game. They were up 15 percent in the 18-49 demo. This includes the RDS numbers.
That increase from the 18-49 age bracket is pretty good news.
This could come under marketing, I met Marcus "the Stro" Stroman today and he related the story below. Nice fella. That's not me in the story. :)

TSN drew an average national audience of 665,000 for the 2011 game at B.C. Place Stadium and 502,000 for 2012 at the Rogers Centre.
It's since sunk to a low of 168,000 last year on Sportsnet for what is now a stand-alone game.

Physical attendance at Telus Stadium was up this year to 12,380 (from 10,754 in Hamilton last year). The Vanier Cup returns to Quebec City again next year.
Richard Therrien outlines that the Canadiens garnered 458K on RDS on Friday Afternoon and 726K on TVA Sports on Saturday night, the highest on the season for the latter.
I was actually surprised to see empty seats at Laval.
EpicPonyTime Nov 27, 2018 12:07 AM
TV ratings for the Grey Cup are in, and they're not good for the League.
Viewership was 3.1 million, down 23 per cent from last year.
This also means that season ratings over last year actually decreased 0.3%.

I was going to post this earlier in the week but I didn't want to give our resident CFL hater any ammunition.
Just to put the above headline into context if people don't read the article it had
Ottawa Redblacks/Hamilton Tiger-Cats 729,000
Calgary Stampeders/Winnipeg Blue Bombers 1.2 million
I have yet to see a reason why Ottawa constantly rates so low, they have a good fanbase and are an interesting, fairly exciting team to watch. The Redblacks TV ratings have been near the lowest since the get go, something is not right there.
This sets up a Grey Cup that will not likely be a great number, Ottawa and the ever present Calgary.
The problem with the CFL is that it is competing with it's own history. Other sports get those numbers and they trumpet how great it is and the double digit increases but the CFL gets it and it's a failure. I don't get it.
As I've said many times, in the NFL 6-3 is a titanic defensive struggle, in the CFL it's two crappy offenses.
But the news is not all bad

Oxford University Press had its origins in the information technology revolution of the late fifteenth century, which began with the invention of printing from movable type. The first book was printed in Oxford in 1478, only two years after Caxton set up the first printing press in England. Despite this early start, the printing industry in Oxford developed in a somewhat haphazard fashion over the next century. It consisted of a number of short-lived private businesses, some patronized by the University. But in 1586 the University itself obtained a decree from the Star Chamber confirming its privilege to print books. This was further enhanced in the Great Charter secured by Archbishop Laud from King Charles I, which entitled the University to print 'all manner of books'. OUP is now one of the largest publishers in the UK, and the largest university press in the world.

Q: Order of a $0$ of a rational function I want to find the order of the zero $z = 0$ of the function $f(z) = \frac{6\sin z - 6z +z^3}{z^2}$.
I don't really know how to solve these problems except by appealing to the definition of the order of a $0$ and differentiating the function until $f^{(m)}(z_0)$ doesn't equal $0$ and then $m$ is the order.
Is there a better method for functions like this where it's hard to do that?

A: Write out the Taylor series and recognize that
$$\sin z = z - \frac 1 6 z^3 + \frac 1 {120}{z^5} + O(z^7)$$
so that
$$f(z) = \frac 1 {120} z^3 + O(z^6)$$
has a zero of order $3$ at the origin.

On the other hand, knowing the Taylor series up to this many terms is basically the same as taking a bunch of derivatives....


A week, from the day I write this, it will be Thanksgiving in the U.S. I've been thinking for quite some time about which foods makes me feel good, which foods don't, and how it connects us with our friends and family. Food is much more than just fuel to keep our bodies going. There is something spiritual about it too. That's why we use it in our rituals, ceremonies and celebrations.
I'm an adequate cook not an exceptional one because I've almost always thought of meal preparation as a chore. Since I'm going through a kind of personal revolution, I'd like to change my thinking about cooking. I want to enjoy cooking. I admire people who put so much love into the dishes they create that just eating it is a spiritual experience. When I cook the food keeps hunger away but that's not necessarily the best reason to eat.
Barry and I have been watching Native America on PBS. In the first episode they concentrated on one main site, Chaco Pueblo in Northern New Mexico that is estimated to be 13,000 years old. It's one of the oldest historic sites in the world. At the site they found cylindrical drinking vessels that had remnants of chocolate in them. It is believed that the chocolate, which comes from cacao beans native to South America, was used as a ceremonial drink. I knew there was a reason I love chocolate. This, and other artifacts, was evidence that the people of Chaco traded with native groups in various South American regions. Which proves these ancient civilizations had much more vibrant societies than previously thought. The cultivation of food, not just hunting and gathering, was, of course, extremely important for these ancient people as well. We enjoy the fruits of their development of various crops and farming methods even today.
As I was falling asleep after watching this program, I was thinking of movies like Chocolat, Babette's Feast, and Like Water for Chocolate, all having to do with the transforming and sometimes even healing power of lovingly prepared food. There are other stories along this same vein of course. In them people are brought together by food, which promotes enjoyment, openness and sometimes even helping to heal relationships. This time of year, particularly, food warms and sustains us through the long dark months.
After all this thinking about the significance of food, I'm ready to break out of my food rut and try some new recipes, and maybe even take a cooking class or two, and do more cooking with Barry. Meal time should be a time to stop work and just enjoy not only the food but the people we eat it with because fellowship is nourishing too.
I plan to take time this holiday season to appreciate my family, friends and the food we prepare and eat together. I hope you do too.
Thanks for reading, liking and commenting. I appreciate it. Happy eating this weekend.

Symphony Guild of Winter Haven's Holiday Concert
Saturday, December 08, 2018 from 3:00PM - 5:00PM
Champions Church
Symphony Guild of Winter Haven
Maestro Mark Thielen will lead The Imperial Symphony Orchestra in its return for a fourth consecutive year. Come and enjoy the music of the season! Doors will open at 2:30pm
The Mission of the Symphony Guild of Winter Haven is to bring musical experiences to the Winter Haven Community and to serve as an outreach to local, aspiring, musicians.
In the spring of 1989, a group of citizens, with the common interest of encouraging and supporting the musical arts in the Winter Haven community, met and formed the Symphony Guild of Winter Haven, Inc. Initial contributions to the guild were made by local residents, Mrs. Jeane Estes, Mr. Raymond Golden, and Mrs. Sarah Hayes. Through their generosity, a 501c(3) status was secured and the first concert season was planned.
Charter guild memberships added to the efforts and a Board of Directors was elected with business conducted at monthly meetings. Throughout the seasons of the SGWH, musical experiences have been brought to the community through a series of concerts and performances and have become known as Symphony Guild "Signatures".
Traditionally, our season begins with a fall concert in September or October, followed by a Music of the Season performance in December. In March, the guild's main fundraiser, Champagne and Shamrocks , is a sellout evening of gourmet food, outstanding music, humorous champagne toasts, and old fashioned community spirit. In the spring, the SGWH says, thank you to the community with a free concert in April or May. This is our annual Young Peoples Concert in which we showcase talented students from Winter Haven area and this concert always serves as an inspiration to us to keep up our mission of outreach to young artists!
The Guild proudly sponsors music students at Polk State College through scholarships that allow them to continue their music studies at a four year college. Auditions for these scholarships are held in the fall.
In addition to the scholarships at PSC., the guild offers students at WHHS & LRHS a chance to attend Polk State College. We offer 3 music scholarships a year. Auditions are held in the Spring.
The Symphony Guild of Winter Haven is growing with the city and truly has a "noteworthy" place in the community that it serves!

A: Well, there's some info missing I would say, but to try to help. Few things could be wrong. Starting from the most obvious
Your request is targeting "http://XXXXXXXX.com/getProduct.html", but your mapping is "/getProductDetailsForReview.html", but I'll presume that this a typo. The problem that you mentioned in your comment is most likely due to wrong contentTypes in the response.
Providing that you're using CORS filter as e.g. suggested in the accepted answer CORS Filter not working as intended. The following will work

click

Notice that I've removed the contentType and that I've removed the html from the request. The reason is that if html is present the contentType of the response will be set to text/html, different than the one you set in the request
@RequestMapping("/getProductDetailsForReview")
    public @ResponseBody PaymentForm getProductDetailsForReview(@RequestBody PaymentForm paymentForm, HttpServletResponse response) {
        log.debug("Start of method getProductDetailsForReview");
        PaymentForm form = userPaymentService.getProductForReview(paymentForm);
        response.setHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
        response.setHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "POST, GET, OPTIONS, DELETE");
        log.debug("End of method getProductDetailsForReview");
        return form;
    }

Combine the three, the proper CORS filter, slightly modified Ajax call, and the modified server mapping and you'll have it working properly,
best

to reflect on your comment in an update. Spring MVC uses content negotiation to reason what should be the response content type, and the suffix takes precedence over other options. I think that that is your issue, take a look at
http://spring.io/blog/2013/05/11/content-negotiation-using-spring-mvc
this being said, try adding the favorPathExtension = "false"  property to your Spring MVC configuration,
 <bean id="contentNegotiationManager" class="org.springframework.web.accept.ContentNegotiationManagerFactoryBean">
...
        <property name="favorPathExtension" value="false" />
...
</bean>

let me know how did it workout

A: The Problem was just that I was using @RequestBody in the arguments of the method in my controller. Now I have replaced that with the @requestparam it is working fine.

Caesars says to engage bank creditors over debt
Oct 20, 2014 Newsdesk Latest News, Top of the deck, World
Caesars Entertainment Corp and its subsidiary Caesars Entertainment Operating Co Inc (CEOC) said they would begin talks with bank creditors in order to revise part of the casino operator's debt.
The companies have executed non-disclosure agreements with certain beneficial holders of debt issued by CEOC, including senior secured term loans, "enabling the commencement of formal discussions with the bank lenders", Caesars said in a statement on Friday.
The consolidated company's long-term debt reached US$24.2 billion at the end of June, up from US$20.9 billion in December, according to industry analysts.
Caesars is a major casino operator in the United States but has long coveted an operation in Asia. It is a joint venture investor in a planned casino resort at Incheon, South Korea. It hopes to open the first phase of the venue by 2018.
"This latest and important step further reflects our commitment to working constructively with creditors to deleverage CEOC and create a path toward a sustainable capital structure for CEOC that is in the best interest of all stakeholders," said Gary Loveman, chief executive of Caesars Entertainment. Mr Loveman is also chairman of CEOC.
The move follows a similar announcement last month in which the Las Vegas-based company said it was in discussions with its senior bond holders in efforts to restructure the largest portions of its debt.
Earlier this month, the casino operator said it received a notice of default from a group of second-lien holders covering US$3.7 billion of the company's debt.
In August, the firm announced a deal that it said it would reduce CEOC's debt by US$548 million and cut interest expense by US$34 million annually.
But Fitch Ratings Service gaming analyst Alex Bumazhny told the Las Vegas Review Journal that "it was likely" that Caesars would have to resolve its issues through bankruptcy. Mr Bumazhny was quoted as saying "there were too many stakeholders" involved for the talks to be successful.

AI War Beta 3.713, "The Balance Destroyer," Released!
Posted by Chris Park on October 15th, 2010
Okay, maybe the nickname for this release doesn't sound like a good thing, but it so totally is. Like "The Sledge Hammer" before it, this release absolutely rips apart some old parts of the game, and it builds something much better in its place. This is the last such rip-things-apart release we're going to have before 4.0 hits: it's all rebuilding, fine-tuning, and adding on new stuff from here on out (guardians are coming, I promise!).
The thing that's been ripped apart this time, though, is the combat model. It's a lot of long-requested changes, actually, but we finally figured out a way to do them in a way that would keep the essence of the game while making us and players happy.
This new combat model in the game will possibly feel identical to the
old one for novice players, but for advanced players is worlds
different. Specifically:
The old notion of shields (not to be confused with force fields) has been removed. Most novice players didn't even know they existed at all, but they had an immense effect on the game and the way that targeting worked. Now targeting is: a) simpler; b) not range-dependent; c) not including a random miss-chance component.
However, there was a bit of interest in parts of the concept of shields. We've now formalized that into a new Armor concept, which is way simpler than the old shields model, but provides some of the same benefits for ships like Heavy Bombers, etc.
The game used to have a massive number (over 2,200, actually) of ship-against-ship-type internal bonuses. You know: rock, paper, scissors, lizard, spock. And about 40 other elements, literally. There had been great forums debates about this back in 2009, and possibly even stretching into early 2010, but… well, the short answer is that the time wasn't right and there wasn't a cogent model that met all my criteria. But now there is! So these are gone.
In place of the old ship-vs-ship-type internal bonuses, there is now a set of the following hull types: Scout, Light, Medium, Heavy, Artillery, Neutron, Swarmer, Ulra-Light,
Close-Combat, Command-Grade, Refractive, Composite, Turret, Ultra-Heavy,
Structural, or Polycrystal. All ships belong to one of these hull types, and combat ships have some bonuses against approximately 0-5 of these hull types.
Going along with these changes, the old Strong/Weak Vs display has been removed from the game, for a variety of reasons. In their place is a new Attack Multipliers display, which shows the bonuses against other hull types. This is more brief, more effective, and again something a number of players had asked for.
Want more details on all those changes, and the reasoning behind many of them, etc? See the lengthy release notes, linked above, for all that sort of thing.
But wait! There is, in fact, quite a bit more to this release. Aside from a number of eagerly-awaited bugfixes (missing image fixes to the OSX version and the 3.711 windows installer, Zenith Traders that will actually trade with you again, etc), there are a number of other changes. The main ones:
Performance. We figured out some new ways to squeak yet more performance out of the working set of the RAM. Moving from .NET to Mono was more of a leap than we'd expected, because their garbage collectors are so different, but we're using the Unity profiler and other methods to get this optimized. It's about as optimized now as it probably will be for 4.0 launch, and it's looking mighty good, even moreso than in 3.712.
Balance changes: Some of them are related to the whole combat-model-reinvention stuff that was already mentioned, obviously, but others are fundamental changes to how some ships work, or how mechanics such as "AOE damage immunity" function. In particular, all the cluster bonus/penalty stuff (which wasn't really that fun) has been removed in favor of other mechanics.
Neinzul Younglings: These have seen a big revamp. We're definitely soliciting feedback from playtesting with them at this time, too.
Previously, we sometimes called Mark V ships as "Core" or as "Mark V." That's been made more consistent, as "Mark V." As have the related ship names ("Core Predator" is now "Raptor Mark V," for instance). See the release notes for more details on this, and what is indicated by the few ships that do still have "Core" in their name (mostly the Core Guard Posts).
The first OSX fixes: I mentioned that the missing images are now in place, but there was also a bug in the last version that was causing the OSX graphics to be slightly-to-very fuzzy. Fixed!
And with this version, we can also confirm that the updater is definitely working on OSX just as well as on Windows. In fact, aside from a handful of OSX-specific issues in our bug tracker, the experience seems pretty identical between the platforms, which is the goal. We just didn't expect to get there that fast (knock on wood).
This is a standard update that you can download through the
in-game updater itself, if you already have 3.701 or later. When you
launch the game, you'll see the notice of the update having been found
if you're connected to the Internet at the time. If you don't have
3.701 or later, you can download the windows installer for 3.711, or the OSX installer for 3.712. Once you do an in-game update, they'll both be on the latest version, despite starting at slightly different versions.

Help keep TIMESHIP #39 on the road!
TIMESHIP #39 is a museum from the future. About the environment.
The future that we, co-captains Elena Ricciardi and Emma Yip, come from is war-torn, polluted, and corrupt. To say the least. But our organization, Delta Collaborative was able to acquire a time-traveling school bus and travel back to 2018, in the hopes of creating a better future. Now, we use the TIMESHIP to travel from town to town across America, sharing stories about today's social and environmental crises, participatory exhibits, and inspiring messages about how to change the future.
We focus on Middle America.
We believe a great injustice has been done to Middle America (that huge geographical terrain that includes the Midwest and South). Here, corporate lobbying by oil and coal have spread misinformation and lies to create an atmosphere of anti-environmentalism. So we choose to spend our time in these places that aren't often perceived as "environmentalist."
We don't preach. We don't argue. We ask questions and we empathize.
And through this, we have learned a lot. We've learned that Middle America is massive and diverse, and that communities base their views on the environment on things like jobs, tradition, pride, and religion. But most importantly, we've learned that these views are not wrong. They are often times at odds with the environmental narrative that comes out of urban coastal areas, but who ever said that America could only have one environmental narrative?
We have found that through challenging assumptions and asking questions, communities can turn anti-environmentalism into something different. Something that is locally specific, rooted in their values, and brought forward by community members. We don't try to tell people what that looks like. Instead we try to motivate community members to advocate for change amongst their peers. And maybe, this is how we can come together to address shared concerns about the environment, justice, and our future.
We've already had 3,000 visitors.
Since May, 2018, we've opened the museum 53 times in 18 different states (Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida). Over 3,000 people have already come onboard the TIMESHIP to view the museum, and across all geographies, we've had overwhelming support. Small towns across Texas and New Mexico were excited to see the TIMESHIP come to their homes, just as pipe-fitters and coal blasters in Wyoming and North Dakota were eager to talk about what environmentalism looked like to them. We've seen teachers from North Carolina and Georgia enthused about the idea of incorporating environmental art into their curriculums, and retirees from Florida get reinvigorated to engage in civic action within their neighborhoods. Creative and diverse change is needed now more than ever in this country, and Middle America is ripe for grassroots local activism.
In addition to a new flux capacitor, we also need new tires. Over the next year, we would like to focus our museum openings in these states: Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South and North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. Every dollar donated goes directly towards helping make that happen.
TIMESHIP #39 is a museum from the future, inside a yellow school bus. We travel the American Midwest and South in the hopes of bridging the political divide over environmental issues.

Q: find all matched elements of an previously unknown element with jQuery Not Sure if I'm missing the obvious here, but have gotten myself in a spin trying to work this out.
I want to find the first child of a container, and then either return its element or class  and use that to grab any other top level matching elements in that container.
for example

    The First Element

 some content with a link that should not be included

a heading

this is some content

    This link should be found by the search

so I would like to use jQuery to find out what that first child is (in this case an 'a' tag) and then search for any matching elements, I'd prefer to get only the direct decendants back, any ideas?
EDIT :  Thanks for the great responses  -  I think the first thing I was missing was the .prop method, will have to test a couple of the solutions out to see which fits the best....  update coming soon.

A: var $box = $('.box'),
    $first = $box.children().first(),
    type = $first.prop('localName'),
    $matching = $box.children(type);

http://jsfiddle.net/X8hgP/

A: It is a bit unclear so here are some options:  I turn the background lime just to demonstrate on the first few.
All the siblings of that first link then:
$('a:first').siblings().css('background-color', 'lime');

All the siblings of the first element inside the box:
$('.box>:first').siblings().css('background-color', 'lime');

All the siblings of the first a element inside the box
$('.box>:first(a)').siblings().css('background-color', 'lime');

NOW, Something a BIT more complex, stuff matching this first element:
$('.box>:first').each(function () {
  //if it has a single class we can do this
  var myclass = '.' + $(this).attr('class');
  // use that single class above
  $(this).siblings(myclass).css('background-color', 'blue');

  //find elements with the same tag that are siblings of my element
  $(this).siblings(this.tagName).css('background-color', 'lime');

  //handle multiple classes
  var myclassAll = $(this).attr('class');

  //split the multiple classes, then use it
  var myclassList = myclassAll.split(" ");
  $(this).siblings().each(function () {
    var iam = $(this);// each sibling
    $.each(myclassList, function (i) {
      if (iam.hasClass(myclassList[i])) {
        iam.addClass(myclassList[i] + 'New');//add new class on matches
      }
    });
  });
});

A: var fc= jQuery(".box>:first-child").eq(0); //is the first child of container
var allE = fc.parent().children(fc.prop("tagName")); //contains all elements with tagname equal to fc's

A: Have a look at this - http://jsfiddle.net/xyK72/
var selectedElement = $('.box > :first-child').prop('tagName');
$('.box > :first-child').siblings(selectedElement).addClass('highlight');

Note that you are looking for a sibling, not a descendant.

A: var first_element = $(".box *:first-child").prop("tagName");
alert( first_element  );

Note >>>    *:first-child it takes first HTML tags from selector

We welcome families from HM Forces and those employed by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. We understand that both parents and children are looking for a school that can offer them a place to learn and live, where they can put down roots and become part of a community.
Here at Kingham Hill, we have many pupils from forces or diplomatic families who have chosen to join the school, as it provides a vibrant and friendly living environment coupled with a first class education. Our majority boarding school ensures that there is always plenty to do once the school day ends, and having a 100 acre campus guarantees there is lots of space to roam, explore and make their home.
With just over 300 pupils in the school, every child is nurtured, challenged and inspired to succeed, both academically and within their personal lives. Our boarding houses are spacious yet cosy, and with an average of just 25 pupils, they provide a homely atmosphere.
The school is currently home to 45 pupils from HM Forces and FCO families, who pay just 10% of boarding fees, with the full CEA entitlement.


Atos has been heavily criticised after refusing to disclose its profits from carrying out benefit assessments on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
The private firm withdrew from its contract to carry out Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) assessments following concerns over accuracy and fairness.
However, Atos were still awarded a contract to carry out Personal Independence Payments (PIP) assessments.
ATOS boss David Haley told the Scottish Welfare Reform Committee in June that he would come clean about how much money the firm makes. However, just two months later Atos has U-turned and refused to disclose this information.
PIP provides crucial financial and practical support to disabled people between the ages of 16 to 64. The new benefit is replacing Disability Living Allowance as part of government's wide-spread changes to the welfare system.
Joan McAlpine MSP said: "At the Welfare Reform Committee in June ATOS boss David Haley agreed to disclose the profits that they expect to make from their Personal Independence Payment (PIP) contract.
"It is simply unacceptable that they are now trying to wriggle out of that commitment.
"They had to be dragged kicking and screaming to the Scottish Parliament in the first place – and now it is clear they were just fobbing us off with promises that they had no intention of keeping.
"ATOS are happy enough to do the UK Government's dirty work by carrying out assessments that can lead to sanctions on welfare payments for disabled people – and they must now come clean on how much money they are making from this contract.

But its location on the edge of the Penn Quarter places it just enough out of the way that you might not find it on your own. So here's why you should seek it out: The...
National Cherry Blossom Festival
It all started in 1912, when the mayor of Tokyo, as a gesture of friendship, gave the city of Washington a gift of 3,000 cherry trees. The original trees were planted around the Tidal Basin, and eventually were joined there, on Hains Point, and on the Washington Monument grounds by an additional 750 cherry trees. Thousands of cherry trees continue...
The National Mall is the nation's front yard, a green sweep of 700 acres flanked by Smithsonian museums and government buildings, its near 2-mile length bookended on the east by the grounds of the U.S. Capitol and on the west by the Lincoln Memorial, with the Washington Monument rising up midpoint. The National Park Service reckons 25 million people trek...
Smithsonian National Museum of American History
The story of the United States from birth to the present is a heck of a tale with many chapters, plot twists, characters and inventions.

Nattional Museum of Women in the Arts
Ever heard of Clara Peeters, the 16th century Flemish master of still life paintings? Or how about Sonia Delauney, the Russian artist who created murals, theater sets, and ceramics, and was the first living female artist to have a retrospective exhibit at the Louvre (1964). Chances are, you haven't. The National Museum of Women in the Arts attempts to introduce...
The Phillips is renowned for its status as the country's first museum of modern art; its possession of post-Impressionist masterpieces, Renoir's Luncheon of the Boating Party above all; its Mark Rothko Room; its Phillips After Five monthly socials; and for launching so many romances that the museum for a time was tracking them. (How fitting that the museum's cafe is...
Not all of Washington's 18 Smithsonian museums are located on the National Mall. The Smithsonian American Art Museum, for example, resides in the center of the Penn Quarter, and its sister annex, the Renwick Gallery, sits eight blocks away on Pennsylvania Avenue, directly across from the White House. If you're interested in American crafts and decorative arts, you should hurry...

U.S. Capitol
No matter what people say about Congress ("Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself." Mark Twain), Congress's home, the Capitol, stands out as an architectural beauty and America's grandest symbol of democracy. So yeah: Wow. With its neoclassical columns, arches and shining white dome, the Capitol is quite the grande dame....
It's true: George Washington never lived here. President numero uno held office from 1789 to 1797; construction of the White House was not completed until 1800. Wait a sec: "Completed?" Wrong word, as the President's House's first occupants, John Adams and first lady Abigail, would have ever so graciously pointed out. Its exterior was finished but only six of 36...
Kennedy Center Free Show
Every night at 6 PM, DC's world-famous Kennedy Center holds a free show at its Millenium Stage.

Red carpets line the floors and the high ceilings are hung with flags of the world. Take a...
Located just a couple blocks from Dupont Circle is "America's First Museum of Modern Art," often overlooked by tourists because it's off the beaten Smithsonian track.

The next generation of television industry hopefuls are set to benefit from the Screen and Media courses on offer from NMIT (Northern Melbourne Institute of TAFE) thanks to their strong ties with the industry and the introduction of new Program Coordinator, Nick Lovett.
Nick brings over 15 years television industry experience at Network Ten to the role, including four years as Production Supervisor of Ten's Melbourne productions. He was also responsible for developing Ten's Broadcast Traineeship, a program which provided training and opportunities for many former NMIT students.
As a career choice, the screen and media industry has always been a long and tough road - one that has become even more challenging in recent years. Emerging media platforms, increased costs of production, a crowded marketplace and fragmentation of audiences have all contributed to a very different landscape from a generation ago.
Nonetheless, local television production remains strong and thanks to a range of partnerships with the television industry, the students at NMIT have the advantage of gaining real industry experience and graduating with genuine screen credits to help launch their careers.
Nick says: "...the current TV industry is represented by a broadened number of technical TV production roles, so NMIT is looking to provide extensive training with cutting-edge facilities. Whilst there is a major shift taking place in most media environments currently, there is still plenty of content being created locally, however it is being presented in a variety of different formats, largely based on the growth in internet usage and other more direct forms of marketing. NMIT is continuing to grow with the industry and we are striving to constantly upgrade and improve the facilities we make accessible to the students."
The Screen and Media courses at NMIT are developed in close collaboration with the industry, consequently NMIT has a proven track record with graduates finding employment as camera operators, editors, directors, producers, floor managers, lighting assistants and as other technicians. Many of these opportunities stem from relationships developed with third party clients over the course of their studies, from sectors such as corporate video, government and TV broadcasting.
Nick says: "They start their journey with us - our Certificate IV, Diploma and Advanced Diploma Screen and Media courses give students the time to develop their skills, work as part of a team, work under pressure and generally absorb as much as they can. I'm really looking forward to seeing the next generation of NMIT students in action wherever there is a production taking place."
