SFU Home to Canada's Top Co-op Student
Katelyn Mueller
SFU Co-op Alumni

Submitted by OLC Editor on 6 November 2010
I knew that gaining hands-on experience outside the classroom is not only one of the best ways to learn, but an excellent opportunity to explore and shape my career goals. The diverse work and cultural experiences I had challenged me and contributed to the growth of my independence and maturity.
The following article was adapted from a news release sent out on Monday March 23rd, 2009. The full release is published on the SFU Public Affairs & Media Relations page
During National Co-op Week 2009, the Canadian Association for Co-operative Education in partnership with SFU announced that SFU Biology and Biochemistry Co-op student, Katelyn Mueller , was awarded the 2008 National Co-op Student of the Year award.
In her back pocket, Katelyn holds a CGPA of 4.16, has received the Governor General Bronze Academic Medal, the BC Science Achievement Award, and has a hand full of nationally and internationally published articles. Katelyn has been described by the SFU Co-op Program as an "exceptional scholar, Co-op student, and community member."
After working on developing cancer treatments at the Biology III Institute at the University of Freiburg in Germany, Katelyn's supervisor, Dr. Kristian Müller, commented, "I can only praise her personality and immaculate work and I foresee a great future for her in science." Locally, Katelyn worked with Dr. David Granville at St. Paul's Hospital working towards reducing heart transplant rejection, and also worked with Merck Frosst in Montreal on studies looking into reducing high blood pressure.
Katelyn recognized that the exposure to Co-op work experiences would enhance her university career. "I knew that gaining hands-on experience outside the classroom is not only one of the best ways to learn, but an excellent opportunity to explore and shape my career goals. The diverse work and cultural experiences I had challenged me and contributed to the growth of my independence and maturity."
Katelyn's motivation to continue in Co-op was also closely tied to her academics, "my academic work became more relevant as I saw its practical applications. For this reason, I strove to apply to a variety of Co-op positions that would give me the broadest and most valuable experiences possible." Katelyn notes, "I am grateful for the opportunities I have gained through Co-op. Now that I have completed the Co-op program, I look forward to applying my experience and challenging myself in new ways."
Muriel Klemetski, Director of SFU's Co-op Education Program comments, "Katelyn is now the third SFU student in the last seven years to receive this prestigious national award. It truly speaks to her incredible accomplishments and her ability to serve as an ambassador for Co-op Education around the world. We're extremely proud of her and our Program."
The national awards program recognizes two students enrolled in an accredited Co-op Program (out of a pool of 80,000 students studying at CAFCE member institutions) who have gone above and beyond their expected performance and achievements in areas including job performance, academic performance and responsibility. It also includes particular contributions to their employer, to Co-operative Education, and the community at large.
In addition to receiving a certificate and plaque from CAFCE recognizing her achievement, Katelyn receives the $500 Emery-Dufault Award in recognition of the contributions of two of the founding members of o-operative education in Canada, Dr. Charles Leslie (Les) Emery and Professor George Joseph Dufault along with a $500 CAFCE Award.

New Rule for Fuel Cell Heating Systems
March 3, 2016 March 3, 2016 by Hydrogeit
© Callux
The German CHP Act (KWKG) has been a long-time source of subsidies for stationary units producing heat and power as efficiently as possible. Once every few years, these types of laws are revised and naturally, the revisions spark heated debates months before any political decision is made. Just in the nick of time – shortly before the end of last year – the Bundesrat finally approved the CHP Act 2016, so that it could go into effect on January 1.
It took almost a year to pass the new CHP Act: First, there was the discussion of the ministerial draft in July 2015, which formed the basis for devising the act approved by the federal parliament last September. The first through third reading of the draft in the German Bundestag came at the end of last year, before the new CHP Act was passed by the Bundesrat on Dec. 18, 2015.
The most important changes compared to the 2012 version are the reduced payments for self-consumption, which were adjusted downwards to 4 cents per kilowatt-hour for plants of up to 50 kW and 3 cents/kWh for plants from 50 to 250 kW (all amounts in EUR). The previous version of the act had granted 5.41 cents/kWh and 4.0 cents/kWh, respectively. Additionally, any owner of larger plants for self-consumption – which used to be subsidized with 2.4 cents/kWh between 250kW and 2MW and with 1.8 cents/kWh for systems above 2 MW – will no longer receive any support from the program. The feed-in into the public grid used to be subsidized with 5.41 cents/kWh over ten years for smaller systems. Here, the subsidy level was raised across all categories (for systems up to 50 kW to 8 cents/kWh), but the grant period was reduced to 60,000 full hours in operation. Still, it is more than the 45,000 hours initially planned as part of the ministerial draft.
Fuel cell systems have their own special transition rule in the CHP Act, according to the BHKW info center. It applies as long as the technology rollout program (TEP, see interview) has not been implemented. This means that operators of fuel cell systems can claim incentives based on the 2012 CHP Act if a binding order for a CHP plant is placed by Dec. 31, 2016, and the system is brought into operation by Dec. 31, 2017.
The VDI Society Energy and Environment (GEU) welcomed the extent of planning security introduced with the revisions, but criticized the target figures of the expansion (110 TWh/a by 2020 and 120 TWh/a by 2025) as not ambitious enough. The General Manager of the German Association of Local Utilities (VKU) and former parliamentary state secretary at the BMVI, Katherina Reiche, had already complained in summer 2015: "Unfortunately, the now envisioned subsidy conditions won't suffice when taking a look at the most recent and efficient plants." More precisely, she called on the federal government to stick to the expansion targets laid down in the coalition agreement. She said: "The formula needs to be: Two times 25 – 25 percent CHP by 2025." The current targets are equal to a 19% share in 2020 and a 20% share in 2025.

This is a transcript of my presentation at The Web and Beyond 2008: Mobility in Amsterdam on 22 May. Since the majority of paying attendees were local I presented in Dutch. However, English appears to be the lingua franca of the internet, so here I offer a translation. I have uploaded the slides to SlideShare and hope to be able to share a video recording of the whole thing soon.
Update: I have uploaded a video of the presentation to Vimeo. Many thanks to Almar van der Krogt for recording this.


It's a magical thing, being a writer–especially a writer of comic books. Because you get to think up these incredible scenarios, these impossible situations, and then someone goes and draws them.
For example. I wrote a page where the Batman stalks through the streets of Gotham, as he's trying to find the Scarecrow. He's already been dosed by the Scarecrow's fear gas and he knows his body well enough to know it's had some effect, but he can't tell how much it's had. As he walks, he's talking to Commissioner Gordon, and without even noticing—or, not overly consciously, as he subconsciously notices pretty much everything at all times—he stops a fight between drunken idiots outside a bar...just by walking by. He doesn't say anything to them, he certainly doesn't do anything to them, he doesn't even look at them. He just walks by and they freeze.
Not sure how you want to shoot this. I see the dark knight walking right towards us and we see the former pugilists in the background, but maybe you want to reverse that? Anyhoo, it's clear that even with the Batman gone and still ignoring (while not ignoring) them, all the fight's gone right the hell out of them. Are they shaking hands? Are they shrugging at each other? Are they simply walking away from each other, in opposite directions? Who, other than the artist, can possibly say?
Come on. That upshot through a sewer grate, the shadow showing us what the reversed letters reveal (Kelley's subtle reference to Plato's Cave, without question), underscoring the importance of Gotham to the Dark Knight in general and this story in particular, the upshot accentuating the Batman's inherently heroic stature, the location of the camera emphasizing the nature of the city.
Yeah, I get paid to write this stuff and have the brilliant Kelley Jones turn it into that.

The Gas Station at Bridge and Island Streets is a historic automotive service station in Bellows Falls, Vermont. Built about 1935, it is a modest yet well-preserved example of period roadside commercial architecture of the period. The Colonial Revival building continues to be used as a service facility; it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.

Description and history
The gas station is located south of the center of the island formed by the Connecticut River and the Bellows Falls Canal, east of the Bellows Falls downtown area. It is set at the northeastern corner of the Island and Bridge Streets, the two main roads that traverse the island. It is a single-story frame structure, with a flat roof and clapboard siding. It has an office area to the left, highlighted by pilasters and a gabled top, and there are two vehicle bays to the right, each with a modern overhead door. The office area has a plate glass window to the left and a pedestrian entrance to the right, each topped by transom windows. The roof once sported a cupola, of which only the square base remains after it was blown off in a storm.

The gas station was built about 1935, about five years after the nearby Vilas Bridge, spanning the river, was built. Along with the bridge, it represents the trend of that period of increasing road and highway transportation, and is a well-preserved example of vernacular Colonial Revival architecture. Gas stations of this vintage are particularly rare in Vermont.

Q: Using lookups to match multiple values in columns in Power BI/DAX I have a table of university unit data. The units have historically been delivered in two different lengths (under the same unit code): sessions and terms. It looks something like this:

UnitCode
Year
OfferedIn

UNIT001
2021
Session1

UNIT001
2021
Session2

UNIT002
2021
Session1

UNIT002
2021
Term4

UNIT003
2020
Session1

UNIT003
2020
Session3

UNIT003
2021
Term2

I need to slice various graphs by units that were offered in both styles, regardless of which actual year, session, or term. So the extra column would be as on the right below:

UnitCode
Year
OfferedIn
OfferedInBoth

UNIT001
2021
Session1

UNIT001
2021
Session2

UNIT002
2021
Session1
TRUE

UNIT002
2021
Term4
TRUE

UNIT003
2020
Session1
TRUE

UNIT003
2020
Session3
TRUE

UNIT003
2021
Term2
TRUE

So I want to look at a value in the UnitCode column and see if it has both different kinds of values in the OfferedIn column (I can do 'contains' expressions for the types) in any row where the unit code is the same. How do I generate the OfferedInBoth column? (Or do I need to create a new table? I'd prefer to keep it as dynamic as possible, as the dataset will add new unit codes over time.)

A: You can create a measure as below-
true_false =

var current_row_unitcode = min('your_table_name'[UnitCode])

var count_sess =
COUNTROWS(
    FILTER(
        ALL('your_table_name'),
        'your_table_name'[UnitCode] = current_row_unitcode
        && LEFT('your_table_name'[OfferedIn],4) = "Sess"
    )
)

var count_term =
COUNTROWS(
    FILTER(
        ALL('your_table_name'),
        'your_table_name'[UnitCode] = current_row_unitcode
        && LEFT('your_table_name'[OfferedIn],4) = "Term"
    )
)

return if(
    count_sess >=1 && count_term >= 1, "True",""
)

Output-

A: You could create a calculated column using the DAX code below. Replace "Table1" references with the name of your table and add any session/term values applicable to the SWITCH statements.
OfferedInBoth =
VAR unitCode = Table1[UnitCode]
VAR unitCodeTable = FILTER(Table1, Table1[UnitCode] = unitCode)

VAR containsSession =
    SWITCH(
        TRUE,
        CONTAINS(unitCodeTable, Table1[OfferedIn], "Session1"), TRUE(),
        CONTAINS(unitCodeTable, Table1[OfferedIn], "Session2"), TRUE(),
        CONTAINS(unitCodeTable, Table1[OfferedIn], "Session3"), TRUE(),
        CONTAINS(unitCodeTable, Table1[OfferedIn], "Session4"), TRUE(),
        FALSE
    )

VAR containsTerm =
    SWITCH(
        TRUE,
        CONTAINS(unitCodeTable, Table1[OfferedIn], "Term1"), TRUE(),
        CONTAINS(unitCodeTable, Table1[OfferedIn], "Term2"), TRUE(),
        CONTAINS(unitCodeTable, Table1[OfferedIn], "Term3"), TRUE(),
        CONTAINS(unitCodeTable, Table1[OfferedIn], "Term4"), TRUE(),
        FALSE
    )

RETURN containsSession && containsTerm

Will the Sports Leagues Ditch BLM After the Election?
RUSH: John in San Diego, you're next, Open Line Friday. Hello, sir.
CALLER: Hey, Rush. Thanks for taking my call. I have a follow-up comment on mail-in ballots, if I may. But my question is on sports talk radio and where do you see it going after the election, you know, depending on who wins the election November 3rd as far as the whole BLM, you know, kneeling for the anthem thing, as far as that goes?
RUSH: So, you're asking me to forecast where I see professional sports going after the election depending on who wins?
CALLER: Yeah. Basically. The crystal ball thing.
RUSH: Yeah. Okay. Pondering this. And then you said you had a follow-up on mail-in ballots and so forth. I tell you what.
RUSH: I'm down here to 45 seconds left in the segment. Can you hang on through the bottom-of-the-hour break?
CALLER: Absolutely.
RUSH: Okay, good. I appreciate it. 'Cause there's no way I can answer this between now and then. I think professional sports leagues have all kinds of trouble. I think every business has gotta be open to completely redoing their business models. And I think some of them are pretty much up to speed on what they face. Others are clueless. And so much is gonna be shaken up, upside down. Market size mattering, for example. We'll talk about it when we get back here.
RUSH: Let me get back here to John in San Diego, California. A first stab at your question, let's deal with the NFL first, because I think the NBA has learned its lesson. If the National Football League doesn't realize that it's gonna have to distance itself from Black Lives Matter, if it doesn't figure that out and figure it out soon, then it's gonna be in a world of hurt. The NBA has figured it out. The NBA has said their days with being associated with Black Lives Matter are over after this season. Did you see that?
CALLER: Oh, yeah. Yeah. I read that they're not gonna have the logos anywhere.
RUSH: Not gonna have the logos, they're not gonna have the slogans on the jerseys or on the court or any of that 'cause it bombed out. It bombed out. It is not why people wanted to watch. People don't want to watch sports for social justice anything. They want to watch it for all the reasons that we know. The desire on all these sports people to be relevant in terms of social justice or whatever the hell else as a marketing opportunity is something they're just misjudging like I have never seen marketing departments misjudge anything else.
So the NFL is going to have to distance itself from an openly communist, Marxist organization. It is going to have to eliminate whatever official ties that it has with Black Lives Matter. If it doesn't do that, then they are going to continue to have trouble. They're also gonna have to figure out a way to get fans back in the stadium. That's gonna be largely related to public health and COVID-19, who's calling the shots on that. If Trump wins — you've given me two options. If Trump wins, what are they gonna do? If Biden wins, what are they gonna do? Right?
CALLER: Yeah. Yeah. Either/or. See what happens.
RUSH: It's hard to say. Because there's so many variables that go into this. The NFL right now is undergoing, as are all industries, is undergoing transformation and damage that not all may be seen, may not obvious to everybody. There also may be some potential benefits or opportunities that could be presenting themselves that are gonna have to be spotted and seen for what they are as well.
If Joe Biden wins, and if, as we suspect, Black Lives Matter and the radical left of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez begins to take over the country and implement the policies that they stand for, the best thing sports could do would be to back out of politics, don't have anything to do with it, just go back to the way they ran their business beforehand. Don't try to tie in with it. Because I guarantee you the vast majority of the fans in the NFL are not Marxists, they're not communists, they're not radical leftists, and they don't want the NFL or Major League Baseball or the NBA to become that.
Even if Biden wins, their best bet is to stay away from it. If Trump wins, then they had better pay attention to what that means in terms of the opinion of the electorate and who that is and what that represents. To me this isn't hard. But these guys make it hard because they get caught up in assuming, for example, like politics, that Twitter is America. And it's not. Twitter is not America.
But a lot of these marketing firms at major businesses assume that it is, think they've gotta position themselves so that they're on the right side of whatever Twitter thinks is cool and hip, and they end up doing themselves, in many cases, irreparable damage. It's not hard. The NFL just needs to go back and study what they were doing when they owned it.
They were the number one sports enterprise in the history of the world. What were they doing then? Why were they? What was their focus? What kind of political involvement did they have? What kind of political attachments did they have? What did people think of them politically or not? And then be confident in the decision they make. Do you disagree with any of this? Feel free, if you do.
CALLER: No. Not at all. I think basically professional sports is caught in a rock and a hard place. They're kind of like, you know, what do they do? It's like the bottom line is, you know, is the bottom line. It's money, you know. They're gonna bleed fans and viewership, they're not gonna make the money to pay the players, and they just go, you know, kaput. So it's kind of a —
RUSH: That's already happening. That has to be happening now. That's the whole point. You know, some NFL teams are already laying off front office. There was some team, I can't remember the team. It might have been the Buffalo Bills. Laid off 200 people in the front office. I didn't know there were that many people in the front office. What they hell do they do?
But that's coming. There's all kinds of support staff that can't be paid when you're not selling tickets. And then the broadcast rights fees are coming up for renegotiation. I don't think TV ratings are as through the roof as everybody thought they were gonna be. I think there's a lot of people scratching their heads over what's going on because a lot of people in these marketing departments still are not qualified.
Or it's not that they're not qualified. They're just making errors in assessing who their audience is. It's the first thing you gotta know. When you are selling a product, selling a service, you've got to know who your audience is, you've got to know who your base is, you've got to know who the potential customers are. And in professional sports, there's two groups. There's the audience that you wish you had, and then there's the audience that you do have.
And I'll guarantee you, the NFL has a sizable audience that embarrasses it. They never admit it. They'd never say so. But it's gonna take, I think, an honest assessment of why and how they achieved their prominence when they did. And if it is because a number of things they were doing appealed to traditional American values, then they gotta go back to it. And if they think traditional American values are gonna get 'em in trouble, if they think traditional American values are gonna get 'em criticized by the sports media, then they're gonna forever be in prison for it. Now, what did you want to say about mail-in ballots?
CALLER: Oh, my mail-in ballot comment was, this is a dirty little secret on the mail-in ballot. Two of my friends who are Democrats, they just wanted to vote on the issues in the propositions, but they didn't vote for or against Biden. They just didn't vote on the president. You know, so I think a lot of Democrats are either gonna not vote or are gonna vote for Trump. So that might be a factor, too, because I'm just one guy that knows two people that didn't vote either/or for POTUS, and it's like okay, I'm just one guy —
RUSH: Wait, wait, wait. They didn't vote and thought they did, or they didn't vote on purpose?
CALLER: They didn't vote for either candidate because Biden and Kamala Harris are just so — you know, they said, "I can't vote for Harris," you know, so they didn't vote for Trump or Biden.
RUSH: So how does that hurt them 'cause you said it hurts Biden.
CALLER: Well, a no vote for Biden is not a vote for him, so I think he loses a lot of Democrats that are assumed to have voted for Biden.
RUSH: Well, yeah, but in your scenario it's not a vote for Trump, either. So people that are not voting, (raspberry) them. I mean, they're not offering anything to the equation.

HYDROCONTEST: DESIGNING TOMORROW'S BOATS
The starting horn has sounded on the second HYDROCONTEST. The 16 international teams of future engineers are set to enter the final phase of this globally unique competition with boat prototypes they have spent months designing. Their innovative, high-performance and ever more efficient hydrofoils have converged on the competition village at Pyramides de Vidy, Lausanne for the week-long event culminating on 19 July.
The teams from 16 major engineering schools hailing from all corners of the globe arrived in Switzerland last weekend to spend a week beside and on Lake Geneva taking part in HYDROCONTEST 2015. In their luggage? Small-scale boat prototypes they designed and constructed themselves in an attempt to imagine tomorrow's boats, which will need to transport greater volumes, for longer periods, while consuming as little energy as possible. The prototypes will be pitted against each other to determine which is the most efficient under real conditions.
During the two-day run-up to the competition set aside for technical inspections, the HYDROCONTEST panel of experts checked that each boat complied with the event's regulations. The teams are currently making the final adjustments necessary to obtain approval and ensure the boats are ready to enter the heats. The latter, which will take the form of time trials, will determine the eight teams which will go through to the next rounds of the competition, leading up to the final and prize-giving ceremony on Sunday.
Having looked over all the prototypes, the experts committee judge that a few nice innovations have been brought by the teams, some of them being a real interest in terms of applicability to the industry. For example, among the teams who have opted for a quasi-submersible boat in the "Mass transport" category, one of them chose to implement a lift system for the mass. As such, it makes more realizable to scale 1 the loading of containers and the access to harbours with less depth than open sea. "It is an authentic and exclusive improvement presented at HYDROCONTEST 2015. It will not change much to the performance of the boat during the race, but it matches the reality of the merchant navy and the calling of the challenge to push the teams to innovate to optimize what already exists", the experts say.
From tomorrow, visitors will be able to follow the race from the shore in the HYDROCONTEST village, which was built for the occasion on the Pyramides de Vidy site. When there are no races in progress, visitors will also have the opportunity to access the paddocks where the teams prepare their boats and to steer remote-controlled model hydrofoils in a dedicated pond. Additionally, they can tour an exhibition on the history of foils, the underwater wings that allow these boats to "fly". This year, for the first time, every day will be brought to a close with a "tech talk" in which the teams will present their projects. The village and all its pavilions are open to the public.

"Strawberry", live at Canadian Music Week 2015
June 7, 2015 /0 Comments/in Blog /by shameem
Live footage from our performance at Canadian Music Week 2015; thank you so much Tony for the footage! This is us performing "Strawberry"; after the second chorus it's a bit hard to see the band because everyone got up and danced in front of the camera, but I think that adds to the charm of this video. One thing I've learnt about Canadians is that they like to holler and egg you on during a scat solo, hehe…

Canada trip
May 29, 2015 /0 Comments/in Blog /by shameem
I made the big trip over to the opposite side of the world aka the land of the maple leaf aka Canadia, to perform at Canadian Music Week music festival, and attend and do some networking at the Canadian Music Week music industry conference. While I was in Toronto I also did another little show and a house concert, did a couple of shoots for TV/ online media appearances, and even managed to sneak in some time to get to Niagara Falls for a day, before heading home via Hong Kong where I had a layover long enough to do some exploring and hang out with my Aunty for a bit.

Touring North America – the food, friends and frenzy!

Tonee and I
Flight from Perth to Sydney: 4 hours. Sydney to LA: 14 hours. LA to Atlanta: 4 hours.
In Atlanta airport there is a baby grand piano in the food court of one of the terminals. The man at the piano is Tonee, who tinkles the ivories and croons the best of pop, soul and jazz tunes to the diverse people who pass through the food court. As I sat enjoying a smoothie, Tonee noticed me lip-syncing along to his music, and called me up to perform in his place. The crowd at Atlanta airport showed their appreciation of my covers of Aretha Franklin and Michael Jackson with warm-hearted applause – it was a good start to the trip!

Q: another version of "have somebody do something" I understand the usage of have somebody do something
However, a post says

anti-piracy legislation under consideration in Washington has some websites in a tizzy.

There is no "do" there, is this another pattern or just omitting some verb?

A: Here's an excerpt from the Wiktionary definition of "have" (and the definitions are surprisingly close to each other, which makes this good here):

The usage you're thinking of (have somebody do something) applies to definition (14).

Have him call me later.    AKA: Command him to / Request that he call me later.

The usage the post is using applies to definition (15).

The speech had people upset. AKA: The speech caused people to be upset.

Hopefully this is helpful to you.

Q: reverse proxy that caches post requests I understand that varnish caches "GET" and "HEAD" requests by default.
My backend servers fail when I do a get request that is too long, so I made them respond to POST instead of GET. This works great, but I need a reverse proxy which can be configured to cache POST responses just like GET.
Are there any reverse proxies that can cache these post requests?

A: Reverse proxies cache responses, not requests. In any case, it's not realistic to cache a response to a POST request. The HTTP specification really doesn't allow for it, since the very act of sending a POST request is supposed to invalidate any cache for that URL, and the response is non-cacheable by default. You are supposed to send a redirect as a response to the POST request if you want the response cached.

A: It seems nginx does cache POST requests if you specify it.

proxy_cache_methods POST; # GET HEAD
proxy_cache_key "$uri|$request_body";
client_max_body_size 10k; # 413

Car Accidents and Insurance Coverage
Should I suggest ADR for a car accident insurance dispute?
So you've found yourself in a dispute with your car insurance carrier. Let's say you're far apart on how much the carrier should pay out based on an injury or vehicle damage claim you have filed. What are your options? Instead of filing a lawsuit you may want to explore alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods like arbitration, mediation, and appraisal.
First, check the terms of your car insurance policy to see what it says about your procedural options for claim disputes -- or any kind of dispute for that matter. Usually, it will state that either party may propose an ADR procedure like arbitration, but both sides must typically agree to participate -- unless there is a "mandatory" ADR clause in your policy.
Arbitration and mediation are both forms of ADR, and may be an option depending on the language of your policy and the insurer's willingness to submit the dispute to one of these processes.
In arbitration, the parties select an arbiter (or, in some cases, each party selects one arbiter, and those two in turn agree on an arbiter who will actually hear the case). The arbitration process is less formal than court, but evidence is still presented to the arbiter, who considers each side's argument and issues a decision that may or not be binding on the parties. For binding arbitration, there is usually some avenue for appeal in place for the losing side. Learn more about Arbitration of Car Accident Claims.
Mediation is less formal than arbitration. The parties select a mediator who listens to both sides' arguments, sometimes the sides are separated and sometimes everyone is together in one room. The mediator does not make any kind of decision, but rather tries to facilitate a resolution to the dispute. One or both parties can decide to discontinue mediation at any time. Learn more about Car Accident Claim Mediation.
Finally, if you're in a dispute about the amount of money that the insurer is offering to pay on a vehicle damage claim, you may be able to invoke the "appraisal clause" of your policy, and have an independent appraiser take a look at the damage to your vehicle contrasted with its pre-accident condition, and offer an opinion as to actual cash value.

NEW SINGLE: THE LONG MARCH - REMIX BY LE TRIO JOUBRAN AND VALENTIN MUSSOU
Along the road, from East to West, Le Trio Joubran gathers influences and sounds from Everywhere. One night in Ramallah before the show, improvising with Valentin Mussou's synthetizer, "The Long March Remix" was born, showing once again that communication and music are the same thing.
Latest album : The Long March
Out now !
The sixth album of Le Trio Joubran, a landmark and a new landscape in their musical convictions. Through their mesmerizing music, they honour the struggles and oppression of indigenous peoples around the world and especially affirm that their music should be a part of the struggle of the Palestinian people for recognition and liberation. Le Trio Joubran and the former Pink Floyd legendary Roger Water's co-wrote the track "Carry The Earth" and dedicated it the four young cousins who were murdered whilst playing football on Gaza Beach. The title of this track is from a poem by the great Mahmoud Darwish The dead who die to carry the earth after the relics are gone".
"The Trio Joubran talents as musicians are complemented by their compassion as human beings. Their longstanding and determined commitment has made them a symbol of Palestinian identity and resistance. Trio Joubran, in its brilliant and fiery exuberance, sends out a message: Palestine is alive." Brian Eno

10 years celebratory
This Collection of 5 CDs & 1 DVD celebrates Trio Joubran career over the past ten years: Randana and Majâz, À l'Ombre des Mots (In the Shades of Words) with the poet Mahmoud Darwish -an anthology with strong, symbolic meaning-, Le Dernier Vol (The Last Flight) Movie Soundtrack and the impressively mature album AsFâr with the incredible voice of Dhafer Youssef and the great Master of Percussions Youssef Hbeisch. A stunning DVD depicting the life of the Joubrans at the height of their art on stage and off is included in the collection.
ALL THE ALBUMS...
Asfar
The three brothers, now at the height of their maturity and knowledge, created AsFâr, their fifth album, with music composed as well as "experienced" by all three of them, with a lot of struggles as well as many joys...
Le Dernier Vol
Original soundtrack "The Last Flight"" movie with Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet.
This album was born from the musical meeting between East and West, combining the sound of the Oud with Violin, Cello (Trio Chkrrr) and percussion (Yousef Hbeisch).
A l'Ombre des mots
The third CD/DVD album, from the August 2008 concert in Ramallah is an intense tribute to the late Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish with whom the Trio collaborated for more than twelve years.
The original scenography of this show adds to the enchanted ear an impressive visual dimension.
Majâz
Majâz is undoubtedly the album that enlight the musical virtuosity of the Joubran Brothers. Between enthralling notes, striking musical shakes and burning silences, Trio Joubran invites us to an intense journey
Randana
United here for their first album, the Joubran brothers' music is thrilling and mournful all at once. Interspersed with moments of silence, their melodies tell of sadness and hope and, above all, of the desire to give voice to Palestine.

Rob Carrick's ETF Buyer's Guide 2021: The complete series
Here are all of Rob Carrick's top picks
Rob CarrickPersonal Finance Columnist
This article was published more than 6 months ago. Some information may no longer be current.
Please log in to bookmark this story.Log InCreate Free Account
This year's edition of the ETF Buyer's Guide offers Globe and Mail subscribers an opportunity to look at how exchange-traded funds responded during of the most dramatic periods in recent stock market history – a massive crash in the winter of 2020, followed by a sustained surge higher.
The guide shows you how ETFs in six categories managed these ups and downs. Canadian, U.S. and global international equity funds are included, as are Canadian dividend funds, Canadian bond funds and balanced ETFs, also known as asset allocation funds.
Investing in ETFs requires an online brokerage account. For help choosing an online broker, consult the latest Globe and Mail Online Brokerage Ranking.
Best Canadian equity funds So much drama is hidden in the rather bland results from Canadian equity ETFs in the past 12 months. A crash in March, 2020, was followed by a monster rally. What did we learn about using exchange-traded funds as a low-cost way to add Canadian market exposure to a portfolio?
Best Canadian bond funds Maybe bond funds will pull out of the slump that began in the first two months of 2021. But in early 2021, with yields in the bond market moving higher, the price of bonds and bond ETFs slipped a bit.
Best U.S. equity funds The recent outperformance by U.S. stocks argues for some caution in selecting ETFs.
Best international equity funds Returns in the past year for international and global equity funds were uncharacteristically excellent. The average 12-month return clocked in at just over 18 per cent.
Best Canadian dividend funds As good as dividend ETFs were, most still trailed the S&P/TSX Composite Index in total returns over the past one-, three- and five-year periods..
Best Balanced ETFs Balanced ETFs managed the sharp stock market decline in the first quarter of 2020 and wired investors directly into the subsequent rally.

Ministry Outreach in the Flesh in the Dominican Republic (Christian views on disability)
One aspect of Elim's purpose on this Outreach Trip is to actually pursue the Board-approved vision for Ministry Outreach: to share Elim's expertise and message throughout the world.
Today's excursions are all about Ministry Outreach, taking the expertise that Elim and its staff have cultivated, and sharing that here in the Dominican. Pam Connolly is Elim's Coordinator of Supportive Educational Services and Sharon Duncan, who teaches at Purdue University, following a few years of teaching at Elim, is currently a consultant on curriculum and learning at Elim. We are further blessed to bring along Elim adult services case manager Trisha Stingel, a Trinity graduate with expertise in services for adults, and – of course – President Bill Lodewyk. Certainly, Elim has brought expertise to share. But this would be meaningless without our ministry partners: Luis and Barb Manon, who call Steger, Illinois their home, though their hearts are with the DR. I will share more about their vision in the days to come.
first stop today was at an orphanage outside Puerto Plata, where I witnessed Ministry Outreach come to life. Pam, Sharon, and Trisha jumped right in, working with and exercising most of the 21 children that lived in the special needs orphanage. Within an hour, the director identified a meaningful way for us to partner. In the short time we were there, Pam and Sharon were able to go through the entire roster and identify the needs and opportunities for each child. With these tools, the director believes they can equip future missions teams and staff to more effectively serve those in their care, equipping them, too, to respond to God's call on their lives.
On the way back to the hotel, the team discussed the challenges of that environment, including the reasons for an orphanage for children with disabilities. While I can't pinpoint who said what, a few items stood out for me from listening in to that conversation:
People with disabilities are included in American society to a much greater degree than in past decades. This can be attributed in part to the overall civil rights movement in America.
People with disabilities are too often looked at as a source of shame, not only in developing countries, but our neighbors with disabilities are marginalized in more developed countries as well. This shame, coupled with difficult economic conditions in the DR, make such an orphanage the best option for some parents.
While we can focus on human rights issues, or on economic conditions, it is quite clear that success for people with disabilities is directly correlated to the degree with which the community comes into contact with them. It ultimately is not about money, not about rights, not about forcing the issue, but about relationships, that very basic human function for which God created each of us.
We traveled to Templo del Dios Viviente (Temple of the Living God) for a Special Needs Conference that the Manons had arranged to benefit Dominican Republic parents, psychologists, physical therapists, and especially people who worked directly with people who had disabilities. After a short introduction of our team, those present got right into the questions, which were ably handled by members of our team, by God's grace.
Yet again, Elim's version of ministry outreach was evident. Led by input from Sharon Duncan and Pam Connolly, we weren't fishing for our brothers and sisters in the Dominican Republic. We were sharing with them about how we fish, and how we've had success with those we serve. Elim is committee to intentional outreach, not just building more "Elims," but actually sharing the expertise we've developed and giving our partners the tools to use that expertise themselves.
On top of that, we were blessed to hear about how some partners have already worked hard to involve the whole community in the life of someone with disabilities, to remove the shame that is so often associated with disability, and how so many of them have already realized the value of coming alongside those with disabilities in true reciprocal relationships.
In fact, Sharon Duncan and Pam Connolly were asked to speak about what people with disabilities meant to them. Sharon's response is available in the brief video below.
Perhaps this day was best summed up with Bill Lodewyk's words of encouragement to the conference attendees.
We believe that God has called us at Elim to challenge the Christian community to be a witness to Jesus Christ by how we include people who are differently-abled, and only when we do that will we know His blessings."
Tomorrow is a full day, including the distribution of Elim HOPE Packs of school supplies. Please continue to keep this trip in your prayers.


Every team that plans on playing this fall season should have at least one representative at this meeting.
This is your league and this is your opportunity to come give your feedback and vote on rule changes.
All rule changes will affect the Fall 2015 season starting in August/September.

Q: Ruby algorithm help using cron jobs I'm determined to get this algorithm (if you want to call it that) figured out over the weekend and I think I'll need the help of cron jobs or maybe clockwork.
Here's my logic:
When adding a book, it needs to be stuck in a "queue line" or "queue status" and will only be "published" at the top of the week. At the top of the week, if no book has been "queued", add a new "published" book & make the form available again (the form will get hidden once a book has been queued to publish next). When I say top of the week, I mean that a book must be published every 7 days, going from the date the user's account was created.
To give some background, I'm creating an app where users are encouraged to read one book per week over the course of 2013 (yeah this thing has to launch by Monday!). They are able to add a book that they're going to read the next week and change the status of that book to 'read' once they read it. If they don't change the status to 'read' within 7 days of adding it, it automatically gets moved down the line and displays as 'unread' and the new blank book gets added (like what I explained above).
The whole adding of books and changing the status to read/unread is already complete. I'm just looking for help setting up the 7 day incremental book adding and "queue line".
Some insight into my code:
I have a books controller & model that belongs_to a user. My user model has_many books.
I'm adding and displaying the users' books through the user show view.
I'm sure there are things that I'm leaving out that will help better explain my environment, so just ask me :) Thanks!

A: I don't think you need a chron job for this.
What I would do is add a status to each book of read/unread. And then write a method in the model that checks on page load and modifies the view or controller data for display.
Rails/Ruby has some nice date/time helpers where you can say date1 <= 7.days.ago.
Is there any reason why this approach won't work?

A new year and a new milestone release of etcd. Hot on the heels of 17 bugfix releases to etcd 3.0, two alphas, and two release candidates, the etcd team is proud to announce etcd 3.1. This edition of etcd features performance, reliability, and API enhancements over the 3.0 series. It also introduces the first iteration of the etcd v3 gRPC proxy, a smart proxy for offloading client requests away from the core cluster.
etcd provides both serialized and linearized consistency models for reading keys. A serialized read is fast, no consensus is necessary, but unsuitable for many applications because it may return stale data. A linearized read returns the most recent keys by going through etcd's underlying raft protocol, and therefore carries greater overhead. While etcd 3.0 processes linearized reads through direct raft proposals, chewing precious disk bandwidth and incurring the corresponding latency penalty, linearized reads in 3.1 issue idempotent, fsync-free linearized raft index requests. These index requests are also batched; concurrent linearized reads coalesce into a single index request. The upshot is linearized reads have lower latency and better throughput.
In the past, upgrading an etcd cluster meant temporarily losing the leader and therefore a brief loss of availability. If an etcd member needed to be taken offline, when upgrading for example, and if it was the cluster leader, then the cluster followers would timeout on that leader and initiate an election. Waiting for a new leader would cause a short cluster outage. To improve availability in this case, the leader will automatically transfer its leadership to another member before going offline.
The quorum-based consensus for etcd has a drawback in that permanent quorum loss permanently downs the cluster. To avoid instances of operator error which inflict quorum loss on the cluster, etcd now by default checks member health before reconfiguring cluster membership. These checks use peer liveness information to ensure membership changes are safe. A member removal request is rejected if the removal causes quorum loss when considering how many members are active. A member add request is rejected if quorum would be lost if the new member never joins the cluster, in case the member is configured with a bad address.
Based on user feedback, the etcd v3 API now includes features to better manage leases, efficiently process keys by revision, and reduce total round-trips. Leases now support non-destructive TTL fetches, useful for checking the time left on a lease, and listing attached keys, useful for finding all resources attached to a session. Key range requests can specify minimum and maximum modification and creation revisions, useful when monitoring wait lists for distributed locks and elections. Watches can optionally return the old key value on delete events, saving the cost of a round trip.
The etcd v3 authentication API, which was alpha in the 3.0 series, is now stable; any future change to the authentication API will not break older etcd v3 clients. The role-based authentication model is similar to the one found in etcd v2 API. The major differences include authentication tokens, a much faster mechanism than etcd v2's per-request bcrypt calls, and permissions governed by key range intervals, instead of only key prefixes like in etcd v2.
An etcd cluster replicates its data to all its members. The overhead from this replication counterintuitively causes an etcd cluster to slow down, instead of scaling, after adding more members. This performance loss fixes the number of members to the desired fault tolerance; scaling must be achieved through other means. The new etcd gRPC proxy aims to reduce the amount of load on the core etcd cluster through caching and request coalescing.
The gRPC proxy includes a cache of recently accessed keys. The cache serves serialized key fetches, which don't need to go through consensus, that would otherwise be handled by a cluster member. The advantage is the proxy absorbs serialized key request spam from misbehaving or misconfigured clients. The graph below shows the effect of this cache on repeatedly fetching the same key until CPU saturation; it effectively eliminates CPU load on the etcd server.
The proxy also coalesces watches from many clients into a single watch stream. This coalescing conserves total open connections to the cluster and reduces overall network traffic from the cluster by deferring event fan-out to the proxy.
The latest and greatest etcd developments can be found in the etcd github repository. The project also hosts signed binaries for 3.1.0 and historical releases on the etcd release page. The github repository also has the most up-to-date etcd documentation.
As always, the etcd team is committed to building the best distributed consistent key-value store; feel free to report any bugs, ask questions, or make suggestions on the etcd issue tracker.


Now I've never heard any mother of a new bub actually say they enjoy going to the supermarket, but I'm lucky enough to have a very enthusiastic partner who willingly goes solo. All I have to do is write a list and off he trots. Unfortunately, enthusiasm aside, the list gets used only as a 'rough guide' to the things we might want around the house, rather than an indication of the items I require to compile the recipes I want to make over the coming week or of the articles necessary for maintaining our existence.
One week, for example, I unpacked the shopping to discover that, among other things, he had not bought the parmesan cheese. His justification was that it wasn't on special that week.
"Well you don't seem to have any qualms about devouring enormous chunks of it when it is on special", I huffed.
Despite being thrifty at times to the point of infuriation, he also has a tendency to offset his frugality with impulse purchases. These have been known to include: DVDs we will never watch; toys that break the first time they are used and half a dozen blocks of Cadbury chocolate, because they were on "super special".
"They were on super special", I informed him wryly, "because their expiry date is tomorrow".
But most annoyingly of all is when I discover items are missing because he was "in a hurry". I can understand this under some circumstances, but not when the products in question are somewhat essential. Like milk and washing powder. And toilet paper. Now I can be reasonably patient and resourceful when I try and can work around not having milk and washing powder for a few days, but toilet paper?!? It was when an overnight visit from my parents coincided with a complete absence of toilet paper in our household that I resolved that it was definitely time for a revolution.
The revolution came in the form of online grocery shopping. When I considered its various advantages, I couldn't believe I had never done it before. Nobody could call me a fan of technology, but the online version would not only allow me to completely avoid traffic, trollies, prams, parking and untimely encounters with my former students or worse, their parents, it would also ensure that I ended up with all the items on my shopping list and eliminate all impulse purchases. It would also save my partner a couple of hours every week and would significantly reduce the ensuing arguments we have on a regular basis regarding the vast abyss between the items on my list and what actually goes through the checkout. Moreover, it would save my daughter from getting really cranky with me if I tried to take her with me and, with the help of the website's 'search' button, I could almost instantly locate a slightly obscure ingredient, rather than wandering up and down the aisles for three quarters of an hour searching for it. Physical shopping suddenly seemed so passé.
Just after lunch that same day, the delivery van pulled up. The driver carried the bags right into the kitchen for me and didn't seem to care at all that I was still in mu uggboot and pyjama outfit (minus the facemask). I had just started to unpack the contents when my partner pulled up in the driveway. I had expected him a couple of hours beforehand, but he works a sporadic schedule, so I wasn't too surprised. He bounced out of the car, beaming.
'I've got a surprise for you!" I announced, beaming back.

Castelul Wass ( sau Castelul în alb și negru) din Țaga, județul Cluj este înscris cu  pe Lista monumentelor istorice din județul Cluj, elaborată de Ministerul Culturii din România în anul 2015.

Istoric

Familia Wass a devenit proprietara domeniului Țaga, ca urmare a căsătoriei dintre Vid Wass (1414-1454) și Marta Fejes, având 10 ramuri de descendenți. Ei au ridicat 2 castele la Țaga (dintre care s-a păstrat doar castelul mic) și unul la Sucutard. györgy Wass, fiul lui János Wass junior, a fost primul membru al familiei care a consolidat averea imobiliară a familiei Wass, el fiind înmormântat în 1594 pe domeniul castelului mic. Castelul Mare de la Țaga a fost ridicat de către György Wass (1658-1705), fiul lui László si Anna Teleki. Acest castel a fost distrus complet după cel de-al doilea război mondial.

În anul 1769 Wass Adam a construit acest castel, care se păstrează și astăzi. Castelul aparține stilului baroc transilvănian și a fost inițial compus din:

 Castelul propriu-zis (construcție cu parter și subsol, acoperiș mansardat și portic la intrare);
 Două pavilioane frontale, cu plan pătrat (distruse);
 Rămășițele unui zid în formă de potcoavă, ornamentat cu coloane;
 Pavilion-bibliotecă, în stil baroc, cu colonadă (distrus).
În decursul anilor s-au facut adăugiri la fațada posterioară. Pe tavanul fostei cantine a Intreprinderii Agricole de Stat s-a aflat o pictură (actualmente acoperită cu tencuială).

Samuel Wass (1754-1812) a consolidat castelul mic de la Țaga, amplasând și două fântâni arteziene în curtea acestuia. Castelul a devenit apoi proprietatea lui Adam Wass (1821-1893) care a dispus de două ori repararea sa (în 1848, respectiv 1875). Adam a contribuit esențial și la reamenajarea drumurilor din zonă, promovând un proiect de placare a adrumurilor cu lemn .)

Descriere
Castelul avea formă dreptunghiulară cu două turnuri scunde pătratice și patru pavilioane. Era încadrat într-un părculeț, în față fiind plasate două fântâni arteziene. A supreviețuit clădirea principală, ridicată în stil baroc transilvănean, cu subsol, parter și șarpantă. În apropierea clădirii se află criptele funerare ale familiei, menționate în arhiva familiei din 1776.

Police Shoot Robbery Suspect After Pursuit Crash in Long Beach – NBC Los Angeles
on Aug9
by admin | Comments Off on Police Shoot Robbery Suspect After Pursuit Crash in Long Beach – NBC Los Angeles |
Police shot a man suspected of a robbery after he crashed in Long Beach, authorities said Monday.
The shooting occurred at about 11 p.m. in the 1700 block of Harbor Boulevard near the 710 Freeway and Pacific Coast Highway.
The chain of events began at about 10:43 p.m. when Signal Hill police were notified of a robbery at a grocery store in their city, according to authorities. A pursuit started and eventually entered the city of Long Beach where Signal Hill police lost sight of the suspect vehicle.
Long Beach police officers then came across a crash involving two cars near Pacific Coast Highway and Harbor Boulevard. One of the vehicles matched the description of the car involved in the pursuit, said Long Beach Police spokeswoman Karen Owens.
The driver was not at the crash site, according to Owens, but that witnesses to the crash pointed out the suspect to officers, and as officers approached the man, a shooting occurred. Owens says the suspect was armed.
The man received some medical attention at the scene but was taken to the hospital in critical condition, according to Owens.
No further details were immediately known.
Meanwhile, the California Highway Patrol issued a SigAlert at 12:01 a.m., closing the eastbound and westbound Pacific Coast Highway off-ramps from the southbound 710 Freeway.

Q: How to create a PDF from a binary string? There is a request has been made to the server using Python's requests module:
requests.get('myserver/pdf', headers)
It returned a status-200 response, which all contains PDF binary data in response.content
Question
How does one create a PDF file from the response.content?

A: You can create an empty pdf then save write to that pdf in binary like this:
from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas
import requests

# Example of path. This file has not been created yet but we
# will use this as the location and name of the pdf in question

path_to_create_pdf_with_name_of_pdf = r'C:/User/Oleg/MyDownloadablePdf.pdf'

# Anything you used before making the request. Since you did not
# provide code I did not know what you used
.....
request = requests.get('myserver/pdf', headers)

#Actually creates the empty pdf that we will use to write the binary data to
pdf_file = canvas.Canvas(path_to_create_pdf_with_name_of_pdf)

#Open the empty pdf that we created above and write the binary data to.
with open(path_to_create_pdf_with_name_of_pdf, 'wb') as f:
     f.write(request.content)
     f.close()

The reportlab.pdfgen allows you to make a new pdf by specifying the path you want to save the pdf in along with the name of the pdf using the canvas.Canvas method. As stated in my answer you need to provide the path to do this.
Once you have an empty pdf, you can open the pdf file as wb (write binary) and write the content of the pdf from the request to the file and close the file.
When using the path - ensure that the name is not the name of any existing files to ensure that you do not overwrite any existing files. As the comments show, if this name is the name of any other file then you risk overwriting the data. If you are doing this in a loop for example, you will need to specify the path with a new name at each iteration to ensure that you have a new pdf each time. But if it is a one-off thing then you do not run that risk so as long as it is not the name of another file.
