Covid 19 Delta outbreak: Immigrant doctors denied work at 'understaffed' hospitals

Dozens of immigrant doctors who have each paid up to $20,000 to be registered to work in New Zealand have been repeatedly refused jobs at "understaffed" hospitals.
Health Minister Andrew Little last week said he was very concerned about our country's exhausted health workers and was considering what could be done to build the workforce.
"They are under extraordinary pressure at the moment - not only having to deal with and adapt to responding to the Covid virus, but also, it is an understaffed system," Little said.
Yet Tanja Milovanovic is one of about 80 doctors eager to work, however, she's been told by half a dozen district health boards "there's no positions available".
"We are fully qualified, we are able to help and some of us can start as soon as tomorrow, especially with Covid we want to help," she said.

Milovanovic graduated as a doctor in Serbia before moving to New Zealand with her husband in 2012.
After giving birth to her three children she passed all assessments certifying her to work as a doctor in New Zealand in October last year. This included a two-hour theory exam, a comprehensive English test and four-hour clinical assessment at a hospital.
That process cost her between $10,000 to $20,000, she said.
Despite there being no guarantee of a job after becoming registered, Milovanovic said, they were constantly told there was a shortage of doctors and they would easily find a job.
However, that was not the case.
Milovanovic said in the last year she had applied for jobs in Auckland, New Plymouth, Gisborne, Tauranga, Rotorua, Wellington and Whangārei, and each time she received the same reply: "Unfortunately there are no job positions available at the moment."
"It's hugely frustrating, especially when all we are hearing is how understaffed and strained the health system is. I don't understand it."
She said she would work anywhere in New Zealand if she was offered a job.
"I don't mind waiting but we don't know for how long and there is no sign or hope that a position will come available anywhere in New Zealand because every year there is new graduates."
After five years her medical registration will expire and if she wanted to keep trying for a job she would have to complete the assessments all over again.
"Unfortunately some doctors' registration has already expired and they have already given up ... I don't think I would be able to do it all over again."
Milovanovic said considering how understaffed the health workforce was, there should be a clear pathway for immigrant doctors who were registered to be placed into a job.
"You see the news about how hospitals are desperate for more doctors but it's a different story when we are applying for jobs."

The health minister said his expectation was once overseas medical graduates had their qualifications recognised, DHBs or other health providers should take the opportunity to employ them to fill the current gaps.
When the Herald asked why this had not happened, Little said: "Questions about why DHBs haven't taken up these opportunities should be directed to them."
A Ministry of Health spokesman said priority was given to New Zealand government-funded medical graduates.
This left limited spots for international medical graduates, he said.
The spokesman said the number of New Zealand graduates had risen and increasing positions came down to the ability of the public health system to offer quality clinical placements and supervision.
The spokesman said there were very few vacancies available and increasing this number was not viable for DHBs as they did not have capacity to provide extra supervision.
"For this reason, establishing an alternative pathway for PGY1s is also not considered to be a feasible option."

Hungarian initiative leads to NATO assisting in fight against migration
| source: Cabinet Office of the Prime Minister
On Saturday, after he attended a two-day North Atlantic Council meeting at the NATO summit in Warsaw, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán told the Hungarian press that after a Hungarian initiative NATO is also assisting in the fight against migration.
He said that Hungary sought to ensure that the organisation "becomes involved in European efforts at halting illegal migration". Mr. Orbán said that "We have won NATO's support to back our side: […] we stated that illegal migration must be stopped, that the external borders must be protected, and that the uncontrolled influx brings with risks which are not only of a civilian nature, but also affect military security".
He added that it is in NATO's best interest to eliminate this phenomenon, and that therefore NATO will also mobilise certain capabilities – primarily for the protection of the sea borders.
Regarding the NATO-Ukraine meeting, Mr. Orbán said that Hungary has always supported its eastern neighbour's efforts to integrate into this security and defence system, "but this idea does not have majority support here".
As an example of this, at the NATO summit in Bucharest members voted against Ukraine's accession, and "therefore this issue is not on the agenda today" because "views on this subject are sharply divergent", as "Ukraine is a country in a difficult situation, and we cannot see how in the short term it could be westernised – either in terms of economic functioning, public administration or defence".
"Although we are intent on this, to date our results have been poor, rather than promising –bearing in mind the time invested", the Prime Minister said, adding that the attendees were strongly in favour of Macedonia's urgent accession, as rejecting this would be "a strategic error for which we might have to pay a high price later". He added that Hungary also has a basic interest in Macedonia joining NATO after Montenegro, another Balkan country.
Defence of eastern wing strengthened without violation of NATO-Russia pact
In his statement – also broadcast on public service news television channel M1 – Mr. Orbán pointed out that after the East-Central European countries joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, for some years there was a debate on whether "we should confine ourselves to membership, or take the next step, and also install NATO's military capabilities in the region". The Prime Minister stressed that "No one wanted to ensure Central Europe's military security by making Russia our enemy".
Summing up the essence of the decision adopted at the Warsaw summit, Mr. Orbán said that "We shall not violate earlier NATO-Russia agreements, but there will be a continuous rotating military presence in some Central European countries, while military leadership centres will be set up in some other countries – including Hungary".
According to the Prime Minister, the location of the Hungarian military leadership centre has already been identified, so that "we have the leadership structure in place if necessary – should the need arise to bring military forces to Hungary for our defence".
Mr. Orbán said that for this reason the summit was also extremely important in terms of the security of Hungary and the Hungarian people.

This is the first indicator-based report developed under the Transport and Environment Reporting Mechanism for the EU (TERM). It has been designed to help EU and Member States to monitor progress with their transport integration strategies, and to identify changes in the key leverage points for policy intervention (such as investments, economic instruments, spatial planning and infrastructure supply).
Is the environmental performance of the transport sector improving?
Are we getting better at managing transport demand and at improving the modal split?
Are spatial and transport planning becoming better coordinated so as to match transport demand to the needs of access?
Are we optimising the use of existing transport infrastructure capacity and moving towards a better-balanced intermodal transport system?
Are we moving towards a fairer and more efficient pricing system, which ensures that external costs are recovered?
How rapidly are improved technologies being implemented and how efficiently are vehicles being used?
How effectively are environmental management and monitoring tools being used to support policy and decision-making?
To answer these questions, a selection of 31 indicators was made, dealing with the various aspects of the transport and environment system. The indicator set is, to some extent, a long-term vision of what an "ideal" indicator list should look like. Some of the proposed indicators could not as yet be fully quantified, as a result of data limitations. Where data availability has prevented an EU15 analysis, national examples or proxy indicators were used.
The report shows that although environmental regulations (such as vehicle and fuel-quality standards) have led to progress in certain areas, these are not sufficient to meet international and national environmental targets. Greater policy impetus is needed to redress current trends in environmental impacts from transport and to reduce the coupling between transport demand and economic growth. The concepts of demand management, accessibility and eco-efficiency are however not yet sufficiently reflected in EU transport policies and targets.
Although this first TERM report focuses mainly on EU developments, important lessons can also be learnt by comparing national performance, as this can yield interesting information regarding the effectiveness of various policy measures. It is therefore intended to develop TERM into a benchmarking tool for this purpose. A first attempt at comparing national performance is presented in Table 1, which gives a qualitative evaluation of a limited number of key-indicator trends with respect to a number of "integration" objectives.
There are several common features at Member State level. For example, transport demand, energy consumption and CO2 emissions are increasing in most countries. The modal mix is increasingly biased towards road transport, and air transport is also expanding rapidly, to the detriment of more environment-friendly modes. There are, however substantial differences in approach to delivering transport systems that better address sustainability concerns. For example, Nordic countries make much more use of taxes, pricing mechanisms and land-use planning than countries in southern Europe. Some countries, such as Austria, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands and Sweden, have developed environmental action plans and set national targets for the transport sector. Some have also established conditions for carrying out strategic environmental assessments of certain transport policies, plans and programmes. This enhances the integration of environmental issues and ensures the involvement of environmental authorities and the public in decision-making.
This evaluation is mainly made on the basis of the indicator trends. As there is an inevitable time lag between policy development, implementation, and the appearance of effects in the indicator trends, a . negative. trend does not necessarily mean that no positive policy developments are taking place to change these parameters. Monitoring these key indicators is the first step towards managing current and future policy measures. For example, tracking user prices, as is done in the UK and Denmark, is essential to manage measures to promote fair and efficient pricing.

Q: Video effects in JMF I've managed to create a makeshift video player in Java using JMF. The source code is given below. I want to attach video effects to it, such as converting each frame to greyscale and adding text captions to each frame, using JMF.
Information on video effects with JMF seems to be surprisingly scarce. How would I go about creating filters (or codecs, or whatever they're called) to do the aforementioned tasks?
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.media.*;
import javax.media.format.*;
import javax.media.protocol.*;
import javax.media.control.*;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.io.*;

public class MediaPlayer extends JFrame
{
    public MediaPlayer()
    {

    }

    public static void main (String[] args)
    {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame();
        frame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());

        try {
            URL mediaURL = new File("video.avi").toURI().toURL();
            Player mediaPlayer = Manager.createRealizedPlayer(mediaURL);
            Component video = mediaPlayer.getVisualComponent();
            Component controls = mediaPlayer.getControlPanelComponent();
            frame.add(video,BorderLayout.CENTER);
            frame.add(controls,BorderLayout.SOUTH);
            frame.setVisible(true);
        }

        catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            System.out.println(e.toString());

        }

        catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println(e.toString());
        }

        catch (NoPlayerException e) {
            System.out.println(e.toString());
        }

        catch (CannotRealizeException e) {
            System.out.println(e.toString());
        }
    }
}

A: hi this is my first post in any forum so sorry for mistakes.
to attach any video effect you need to use a "processor"
here is a code sample to adding a processor and adding effect to it :
String strDevName = "your Media MRL";
        CaptureDeviceInfo devInfo = CaptureDeviceManager.getDevice(strDevName);
        MediaLocator ml = devInfo.getLocator();
        DataSource ds;
        Processor p;
        try{
            ds = Manager.createDataSource( ml);
            p = Manager.createProcessor(ds);
            p.configure();
            while(p.getState() != p.Configured);
            p.setContentDescriptor(null);
            TrackControl[] controls = p.getTrackControls();
            controls[0].setFormat(new VideoFormat( VideoFormat.YUV ));//Specify the Video format of the video specified  in the MRL
               Codec codec[]= { new comp311.jmf.effect.GreyEffect() };//class GrayEffect is a implementation of javax.media.Effect (the link for the class given below)
            controls[0].setCodecChain(codec);
            p.realize();
            while(p.getState() != p.Realized);
            p.prefetch();
            while(p.getState() != p.Prefetched);
            video = p.getVisualComponent();
            if ( video != null ) {System.out.println("Prefetched2");
                 pnlVideo.add( video, BorderLayout.CENTER );//pnlVideo is a JPanel
                 p.start();

             }
        }catch(Exception e){}

the link for the effect class :

re :
while(p.getState() != p.Configured);
while(p.getState() != p.Realized);
while(p.getState() != p.Prefetched);

in this places of my program i stopped forowred execution until the processor achives a state , but if the state is not achivable then the prigram gos into a infinity loop. JMF gives a StaeHelper class to overcome the problem google for it.

Protests Continue in Khartoum as Sudanese Government Blasts ICC Decision
Thousands demonstrated in support of Sudan's president in Khartoum, a day after the International Criminal Court approved an arrest warrant for Omar al-Bashir. President Bashir lashed out at the court's efforts, calling them neo-colonialist.
For the second day in a row, crowds in Sudan's capital Khartoum gathered to show their support for President Omar al-Bashir, shouting slogans and brandishing signs criticizing the International Criminal Court and its chief prosecutor.
Dancing and waving his famous cane in front of the crowd, President Bashir railed against the court and its supporters, accusing them of trying to exploit Sudan and its resources. "We do not kneel to colonialism," he said. He said the government would combat any attempts to destabilize the country.
A journalist with Khartoum's Al-Akhbar newspaper, Maaz Alnugom, estimated the crowd at five- or six-thousand. He told VOA that small crowds had also tried to protest in front of the U.S. Embassy and other missions, but had been turned away by police. Security has been ratcheted up in the capital, particularly around western diplomatic missions.
Jimmy Kawanjara, a Kenyan shop owner in Khartoum, said the atmosphere was tense among foreigners, who have been told by their governments to stay inside. But he said the protests were peaceful.
"The demonstrations are very peaceful," said Kawanjara. "They have the government backing, so we are not expecting to see any violence with police fighting demonstrators."
Alnugom said most of the people at Thursday's rally were members of the president's National Congress Party.
"That does not mean those are the majority of the people in Sudan," he said. "We have many parties, we have government parties and anti-government people. Many people support the court, but nobody can declare this view."
Further protests are planned for the capital on Friday and President Bashir is expected to visit the Darfur region on Sunday.
Sudanese officials have said they will lead a diplomatic effort to suspend the ICC warrant. The African Union, which has opposed the warrant, was meeting in Addis Ababa on Thursday. And China's government called for the warrant to be withdrawn.
The Sudan People's Liberation Movement, the former rebel group now in control of the semi-autonomous government of South Sudan, and a partner with Bashir's party in the national government, reaffirmed its support for the president. While there is little sympathy for the president in the south, many southern leaders fear that his removal could jeopardize the fragile peace agreement signed between the two sides in 2005.
The Umma party in the north also affirmed its opposition to the warrant, saying Darfur crimes should be tried within Sudan.
The warrant was greeted enthusiastically, however, by many in Darfur's refugee camps, and by Darfur rebel groups. The Justice and Equality Movement, the region's most powerful faction, said it would not participate in further negotiations, saying the government is now illegitimate.
The Sudanese government also announced the expulsion of ten international aid agencies, including Oxfam, Save the Children, and International Rescue Committee, from Darfur, and there were reports that more groups could follow.
Aid Agencies Seek Reversal of Sudanese Expulsion Order
Aid agencies in Sudan are trying to reverse an expulsion order that was announced Wednesday after the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for President Omar Hassan al-Bashir for crimes against humanity in Darfur. International relief organizations have been forced to react quickly.Just hours after the International Criminal Court in the Hague issued the arrest warrant against Sudanese President al-Bashir, the licenses of up to 10 non…

AU Wants UN to Suspend Bashir Indictments

Garden Bridge in London
architecture in london, architectural concepts, heatherwick studio, bridge design
Garden Bridge is a beautiful architecture that was designed by Heatherwick Studio for a new pedestrian across the River Thames connect North and South London
From the architects: As one of the greenest cities of its size in the world, this precious new piece of landscape will add to London's rich and diverse horticultural heritage of heathlands, parks, squares, allotments and community gardens and support many indigenous river edge plant species.
The revival of the South Bank over the past two decades has created a vibrant and artistic district attracting large number of visitors to its art galleries, theatres, music halls, restaurants and outdoor entertainment. However, visits to Temple and the north bank area east of Somerset House and Waterloo Bridge are far less frequent. The bridge will grow and nourish the connection between these distinct areas whilst providing new walking routes to and from Covent Garden and Soho.
With a structure that widens and narrows across its span, the elevated garden will not only be a safe and easy way for London's many commuters and visitors to cross the river, it will also make places along its length for pedestrians to stop and better enjoy the remarkable river setting and unparalleled views of the city. The addition of careful planting with variety in scale, openness and intimacy will create a new kind of public space in the city.
Heatherwick Studio is currently working closely with Transport for London and world-renowned engineering consultant Arup to develop the scheme. On November 1st 2013 The Garden Bridge Trust, a UK registered charity dedicated to driving forward the creation of the Bridge, was launched with Lord Mervyn Davies as its chairman. A public consultation led by The Garden Bridge Trust and supported by TfL closed on December 20th 2013. Over eighty seven per cent of consultation respondents were supportive of the scheme.

What does it really mean to care?
Caring is (of course) a biblical concept. The two senses of "care" in the English language are mirrored in our practical experience of caring. Showing concern and kindness to others comes with a cost, and caring people are often prone to experience their care and compassion for others morphing into burdens for themselves that they cannot carry.
Betrothed to Christ
As I was preparing it, I just sensed the Lord saying, "betrothed not married - betrothed". This interview with Jeanette explores the idea of being betrothed to Christ, particularly looking at the ancient Jewish betrothal process. Jeanette draws out the parallels with the situation of all Christians, as they await being fully united with Christ in the life to come.
God loves me as I am
John shares his story of the guilt he faced with his same-sex attractions. Through finding acceptance at TFT, he found much greater freedom as no-one was telling him that his sexuality needed to change any more. Whilst continuing to battle temptation, like any Christian, John found a much greater contentment.
Is TFT helping or harming?
Some people have suggested that TFT is harmful, homophobic, coerces people or operates from a place of fear. Such concerns are important to reflect upon. It's a tragedy whenever someone purporting to be a disciple of Christ subjects others to pain, trauma or distress. So, how does TFT protect those that it comes into contact with from harm?
Review: "No Longer Strangers" by Greg Coles
This book explores what it means for us to belong; where we belong, to whom we belong and to what we belong. Overall, the book explores the theme of belonging in a really warm and engaging way; it's very easy to read but is full of meaningful help.
Does every church need a support group?
Brian explains the value of having a support group in his church for same-sex attracted believers, to help them feel heard and safe. But he goes on to explain that ultimately the church should outgrow its need for such a group as the whole church becomes an increasingly welcoming place for LGBT people.
How we can love one another
This article explores how practically we can love one another, even when we might feel reluctant to come close to other people for a range of reasons. As Christians, we are called to follow Jesus' example, who always had time for others.
Timothy: Guardian of the gospel
Come with me back to 17 AD to a young man... Timothy's background of Judaism and paganism made him a perfect student for Paul, who recognised in Timothy an uncompromising faithfulness to the word of God...
Finding Acceptance
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). As a young child, I sang this well-known scripture verse along with a cassette tape of Bible songs. My mom interrupted me, saying, "You shouldn't sing that! It's too negative." That moment encapsulates how my family, and even my church, felt about sin. It was something we didn't talk about, or even think about, and certainly not something we ever did.

New England Conference Highlights Regional Approach to Reentry
By CSG Justice Center staff
"Collaboration is key – you have to work together," said Captain Willie Scurry of the Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, House of Correction at the New England Reentry Conference in Boston last month. "If you work together, there's nothing wrong with picking up the phone and saying, 'Hey, I have somebody getting out that needs housing; can you help?'"
At the conference, speakers from reentry programs and law enforcement reinforced the notion that collaboration is fundamental to the success of programs aiding returning community members.
The conference, which was hosted by United States attorneys of the six New England Districts—Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine— uplifted the region's approach to reentry efforts. Rather than focusing on individual locales, service providers, policymakers, and correctional agencies throughout New England collaborate to ensure a unified approach.
"I think New England is unique," said U.S. Attorney Thomas E. Delahanty II, District of Maine. "I don't see a bond with district attorneys like we have here in this region."
By working together, states in the region are able to comprehensively examine opportunities and challenges to reentry as they arise. For example, people returning to rural areas after incarceration may have limited access to transportation to reach required programming, while some urban areas may need greater support services in specific neighborhoods. Understanding these distinct needs can allow for more targeted programming and planning before people are released.
"[Collaboration creates] a continuum between department of corrections and a variety of community providers," said Catherine Chichester, executive director of Co-Occurring Collaborative Serving Maine, a 2014 grantee of the Second Chance Act (SCA) Reentry Program for Adults with Co-Occurring Substance Abuse and Mental Disorders.
Chichester and Scurry joined Earl Warren, director of correctional services at Spectrum Health Systems, and Dr. Martha Okafor, city services administrator for New Haven, Connecticut, on a panel representing organizations that received grants through SCA or the Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Program (JMHCP), which support state agencies, local jurisdictions, tribal governments, and organizations that work with people directly impacted by the criminal justice system. Through these grants, The Council of State Governments Justice Center provides technical assistance to organizations to support the implementation of evidence-based policies and practices and successful reentry.
In addition to emphasizing the benefits of collaboration, speakers at the conference also discussed the approaches to collecting and using data—including through Data-Driven Justice—as well as investing in policies and practices that have been shown to reduce recidivism, such as reinstating Pell Grants for people who are incarcerated and removing criminal history questions from job applications.
"Data is everything," Scurry said. "Collaboration is key."

Political pressures and influence on the operations and editorial policy of PSB can take different forms, but one of the most prominent mechanisms at play in Montenegro is related to the financial dependence of RTCG on the state budget.
Financing is the most effective method of controlling the public broadcaster. Financial dependence affects not only its editorial policy, but also the process of digitalization and the production of programs in accordance with its public service obligations. This is why the Council of Europe supports a mixed model of funding[vi] that should be adapted to fit the characteristics of the media markets in individual countries[vii]. According to the Council of Europe, income sources should be diverse, such as from fixed operating licenses, taxes, state subsidies, subscription, advertising and sales of audio-visual archives, with the aim of eliminating the possibility of dependence on one source of income, which would jeopardize a PSB's financial sustainability and editorial independence. In that context, many authors and international organizations, such as, for example, UNESCO,[viii] argue that subscription is an ideal model for the financing of public broadcasters.
Initial legislation of 2002[ix] established the license fee as the primary source of PSB funding in Montenegro. The Law of PSB in 2002 imposed an obligation on every household and legal person that owns a radio to pay a broadcasting subscription fee in the monthly amount of 3.5 euro. Following the Law, 75 percent of the funds from the subscription were allocated to RTCG, 5 percent to the Broadcasting Agency (ARD), 10 percent to municipal public service broadcasters and 10 percent to commercial broadcasters.[x] From 2004 until 2007 the subscription fee was collected through the telecom operator Montenegro Telekom, with a collection rate of 90.6 percent.[xi] It brought RTCG between 5.5 and 7 million Euros annually, which was a certain guarantee of the RTCG's financial independence. However, the subscription system collapsed after the Montenegro Telekom company was privatized, as the public broadcasting service had to find a new way to collect the subscription fee. One of the options considered was to collect the public service subscription through electricity bills, but since less than 50% of households pay electricity bills regularly in comparison to telecom bills, this option was abandoned.[xii] Hence, the Agency for Electronic Media collected broadcasting subscription fees for several months, but the revenues dropped significantly, which led to the abolishment of the subscription fee with the 2008 amendments to the Law on PSB.
According to article 16, the Law on PSB in 2008 set aside 1.2% of the state budget for RTCG on a yearly basis. However, due to the economic crisis, the budget gradually decreased, resulting in a drop in revenues for RTCG. According to former EBU Vice-President Boris Bergant, experts warned the Montenegrin authorities about this situation a few years ago, indicating that, due to the economic crisis, budget-linked financing is not a good way to finance the public service broadcaster.[xiii] Hence, in 2014, a new set of amendments to the Law on PSB stipulated that "funds shall be allocated from the Budget of Montenegro for the realization of the basic activities of RTCG at the annual level of 0.3 percent of GDP (Gross Domestic Product), the estimate of which shall be determined by the Government through adoption of macroeconomic and fiscal policy guidelines".[xiv] Financing from the budget in relation to the country's GDP represents a significant improvement compared to the previous model of financing the public service broadcaster.
Although the new model of funding which is linked to a percentage of GDP does provide much needed financial stability, it has also made RTCG almost completely dependent on state funding, since the level of diversification of sources of funding is minimal (see Table 1, below).
The government has undertaken to bear all the costs of financing the process of public service broadcaster digitalization and has so far invested 3.1 million EUR. According to the 2017 financial plan, the State has allocated EUR 6,350,000 for these purposes to the public broadcaster.[xviii] The state also financially supports the production of cultural programs and content intended for minorities and persons with disabilities, through the budget of the Ministry of Culture.
The new funding model that was introduced in 2014 has brought much needed financial stability and has significantly improved the overall financial situation of the RTCG. However, by abolishing the subscription fee, RTCG has become completely financially dependent on the state budget, with only 10-15% of annual income now coming from marketing and other sources (see Table 1). Given the perceived political bias in its programming, and the high level of distrust among a significant part of population, it is worth considering how the financial model can be improved to ensure a more balanced editorial policy, financial stability and independence from the government.
One possibility would be to reintroduce the subscription fee, and combine it with the current model of funding from the state budget linked to GDP, in order to ensure much needed diversification of sources of income, and create a solid financial basis for organizational sustainability and editorial independence.
Given a much better financial situation with the RTCG, it is now the right time to start investing in its programming, working towards ensuring full editorial independence, and creating conditions for a truly functional model of mixed funding that best suits the local market conditions and needs of the citizens of Montenegro.
This publication is produced within the project "The prospect and development of public service media: Comparative study of PSB development in Western Balkans in light of EU integration" that investigates the position, role, functioning, and the future of public service broadcasters in seven countries in the Western Balkans – Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Kosovo and Serbia, taking into account the specific context in which these services developed and the role the European Union played in such processes. The project is implemented by the Center for Social Research Analitika in partnership with the University of Fribourg.
[ii] Adoption of the aforementioned regulatory framework was preceded by a series of meetings of the Working Group made up of international experts led by the OSCE, as well as the Montenegrin media community.

Q: iPhone SDK:How can I fix this leakage? I have a leakege here but couldnt find the problem;
@property (nonatomic,retain) NSMutableData *responseXMLData;
@property (nonatomic,copy) NSMutableData *lastLoadedResponseXMLData;

-(void)dealloc {
    [doc release];
    doc=nil;
    [xmlBodyTemp release];
    [responseXMLData release] ;
    responseXMLData=nil;
    [lastLoadedResponseXMLData release];
    lastLoadedResponseXMLData=nil;
    [xmlBody release];
    [super dealloc];
}

A: Without seeing your dealloc method, we cannot be sure you are correctly releasing the values of these properties.
But in the posted code, I do see one major problem. But it's not where you think.
self.lastLoadedResponseXMLData = docTempData;

This line, although flagged by XCode, is fine (assuming you release the value correctly in dealloc).
self.responseXMLData = [self.lastLoadedResponseXMLData copy];

This line, however, is not fine. It makes a copy of whatever value is in self.lastLoadedResponseXMLData but you never release the reference due to the copy. self.responseXMLData, since it is declared "retain", adds its own reference to the object, and (assuming you release the value correctly in dealloc) this reference is the one cleaned up.
If you don't really need to care whether the object is the same or is a copy, just forgo the copy. Otherwise, autorelease it:
self.responseXMLData = [[self.lastLoadedResponseXMLData copy] autorelease];

WouldJew Believe #29
by Marnie Winston-Macauley
Would you believe a non-Jew sues his employer for discouraging him from wearing a kippah at work?
ONLY IN L.A.
Now that the High Holy Days are well behind us, at least 20 Rabbis were ready for their close-ups. You think it's easy for most Rabbis to write inspiring, wow-factor speeches week after week?
Our covenant is saved, mohels are sharpening – and delis are making platters!
So, this year, the Board of Rabbis of Southern California turned their annual seminar over to comedy writers to give the rabbis a bissel "high profile" Hollywood-speak. In early September, some 20 rabbis received "comedic instruction" from writers who've penned shows such as Mad Men and 3rd Rock from the Sun in a workshop titled (Ready?) "Punching Up Your Holiday Sermons."
The workshop was so popular that the Board may continue offering comedic wisdom in the future! So don't be surprised if your Rabbi's next speech opens with, "So a Rabbi and a Priest walk into a bar…"
"KIPPAH" YOUR YARMULKE TO YOURSELFA?
Our innocent yarmulke made strange news when one Ciro Roselli filed a lawsuit in Manhattan federal court against McKinsey & Co. this summer; because the executive assistant claimed he was the victim of discrimination for wearing one. Aha! An example of anti-Semitism?
Not exactly. You see, Roselli … isn't Jewish. He claimed he wore the head covering as a proponent of "theosophy," an obscure philosophy that's into "truth."
Anyway, he said his boss compared him to Madonna, while another scolded that he wasn't a "real Jew." Some demanded he "take it off" as they were "creeped out."
And so we have probably the first yarmulke suit, filed by a non-Jew yet, for damages inflicted upon him for kippah-ing.
In his defense, non-Jews wear yarmulkes all the time in synagogues. And then there's the Pope, right?
AND WHILE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT …
The kippah has now joined the ranks of pop culture. Actors are now wearing yarmulkes all over the tube and in film. (For example: Jewish actors Jeffrey Tambor on Arrested Development, Jeremy Piven on Entourage, Ben Stiller in "Keeping the Faith," or the Catholic Owen Wilson in Meet the Parents). Apparently the yarmulke is to "cue" the audience: "Hey, the guy's a Jew."
THE MOHELS HAVE IT! UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE!
In the on-going nonsense tsimmis over circumcision, California's Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill in early October prohibiting all local bans on circumcision! The background: Anti-circumcision activists gathered 12,000 signatures to place the issue on the ballot in San Francisco. Voters would then decide if infant circumcision should be banned as an "unnecessary genital mutilation," a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine. A coalition of religious, medical and civil liberties groups sued to stop the proposal; a judge blocked the initiative in July, and this new statewide law prevents further banning efforts by localities. So, our covenant is saved, mohels are sharpening – and delis are making platters!
COCO: HEELS OR "HEILS?" A THINK PIECE:
How many of us were appalled at "buying German?" or listening to Wagner? Well, the next time you don your "classic" little Chanel black dress, douse yourself in No. 5, or pay a fortune for those shoes with the Interlocking double-C, you may want to think twice – or not. In a new book, Sleeping With The Enemy: Coco Chanel's Secret War, journalist Hal Vaughan claims that the designer, born Gabrielle, was not only a rabid anti-Semite and "companion" to German intelligence analyst Baron Hans Gunther von Dincklage during WWll (which is generally known), but more: she was a numbered Nazi agent ( number F-7124) and spy with the code name: "Westminster" who went on missions to Madrid and Berlin. Despite her well-documented Nazi collaboration, and questioning by a French judge, Chanel, using her typical flair, got through it unscathed after the war. The Chanel fashion house poured some weak doubt on the allegations. But the question remains, should persons of conscience, especially We Jews, 70 years after the war, "forgive" and "forget" the evils of its founder? How long after their death should their beliefs be tied to the art they created?
ON THE LIGHTEST SIDE ……
Picture it! You're a speaker of Hebrew only, and you're trying to get to Manhattan from Great Neck on the Long Island Railroad. So, you go to the Hebrew menus on ticket machines and whoa! You wind up buying a ticket … to Great Neck? Ok, so I exaggerate, slightly. But this past summer, either a glitch or ignorance took over when the letters on the ticket machines went from left to right instead of right to left. One article offered "GnidaeR sdrawkcab si drah" for example. See if you can figure that one out…

chanel owned by a jew
according to wikipedia- Alain wertheimer was the funding behind coco chanel- which would say that she may have been an opportunist but not an anti-semite despite the fact that she was sleeping with the enemy
marnie, the author, November 25, 2011 6:42 PM
Re: Opportunist vs. anti-Semite
This brings us, of course, to a definition of "Anti-Semite." As part of the Nazi agenda as g/f and agent, she was directly or indirectly involved in the extermination of Jews, among others -- including working against her own country. As motive, "opportunist" may "work." As a practical matter ... her character and behavior were vile, and in the end, "anti-Semite" -- participating in the destruction of Jews -- is certainly anti-Semitic. Thanks for writing, Shalom with love, Marnie

News I can live with
Marnie, I like your news much better that what I read in the papers. Who needs to hear about murder and mayhem? (Or sex scandals, for that matter). I was in Israel recently and attended a couple of lectures at Aish there. One was given by a Rabbi Friedman. This guy is seriously funny. He's a George Carlin could be. He's also brilliant. Wow, did he keep me on my toes! This guy should definitely be preaching (and teaching) to the young, he'd laugh them into teshuva. We'd have kids begging to go to synagogue or to lectures if there were more Rabbis like him in young communities. As far as yarmulkas go, some Jews for Jesus (and like groups) also wear skull caps. Some Conservative schools have girls sometimes wear them (equal opportunity). I've been giving some thought to wearing a Na Nachi yarmulka, myself (Just kidding! but they do make me smile). The point is, don't judge a book (or person) by it's cover. As far as Chanel is concerned, I don't know who owns it now, but it would be really great if it is, indeed, owned by Jews now. If it's not, take comfort in the fact that Chanel lost millions in knock-offs. The human brain is pretty amazing, we can actually read words that's letters are out of sequence, because the brain recognizes the components and reassembles them, in order, in the mind. I've read entire paragraphs that not a single word was in proper sequence, with ease. It's not a unique talent, many people can do it. I hope all is well with you, I've had you and your husband in mind. All the best, Shari

purchase of German goods
I think that Jews in paricular should remember that it is mdern firms like Siemens, Faber and Beyer, to mention a few, who owe the foundation of their wealth to the use of slave labour during the WW2. Ancient history? Let bygons be bygons? Try telling that to my son who is growing up without a grandfather, and me without a father because he was exterinated in Bergen Belsen, ortry telling it to my step-father who spent two weeks bulldozing bodies into burial pits, bodies that the Nazi's had left unburied in their haste to run away and escape responsibility for their actions. Now Germany is using the financial muscle built on an unethical, illegal and immoral base to try and coerse the rest of Europe into doing its bidding. Where Hilter failed Merkel will succeed because of people's apathy political correctness and the refusal to learn from history Forgive? Never! Forget? Never! Buy Geman gooods? Never!

Enjoyable article. Informative and very funny!
chanel...
Chanel was actually mostly owned by Pierre Wertheimer, who provided the designer with the necessary funding to start her business. He was in fact an Ashkenazi Jew and today it is his descendents that control the company. Jews do know what to put their money into.
marnie, the author, November 23, 2011 12:53 AM
Right. Jews have been involved in the brand.
Acc. to the book, Coco flip-flopped when it suited her. But the larger note is how long do we Jews connect the background of the founder/creator to his or her history. Personally, I feel there's a difference between a product line that has gone through a number of incarnations re: management, etc. and those things that are still associated with Nazi Germany, e.g.: the music of Wagner, etc. I choose NOT to listen to Wagner. Yet, Yet it's still an individual choice. Shalom with love, and thanks for writing. Marnie

You don't need to buy a ticket if you want to be amused: Just visit Central Park's southern edge. There is (at least until a year ago) a sign warning against rabies. The Hebrew and Yiddish words for rabies are both mistakenly written left-to-right! Sorry I can't attach the snapshot to this comment.

The mobile test laboratory is for creating a controlled voltage-dip at the terminals of the generator under test, and by this the grid compliance of the generator can be tested. The grid code sets requirements to the ability of generators to ride-through certain voltage dips, though this influence wind turbine stability, structural loads and lifetime.
The mobile test laboratory is a key facility to enable research addressing these critical issues. The lab will be available for continued research and testing of grid compliance of generators. The lab conforms to the test requirements specified in IEC 61400-21 and for generators rated up to 8 MVA and 36 kV.

William Strunk Jr. (July 1, 1869 – September 26, 1946) was an American professor of English at Cornell University and author of the The Elements of Style (1918, which became a highly influential guide to English usage during the late 20th century, commonly called Strunk & White.
We are proud to announce a new series of works by William Strunk; and to find an edition – simply click on the name below or type the ISBN into your countries Amazon page.
The Elements of Style is a prescriptive American English writing style guide in numerous editions. The original was composed by William Strunk Jr., in 1918, and published by Harcourt, in 1920, comprising eight "elementary rules of usage", ten "elementary principles of composition", "a few matters of form", a list of 49 "words and expressions commonly misused", and a list of 57 "words often misspelled.


Last week's launch of the 2015 Vote for Policies website has put the Green Party in first place with 30% in Canterbury after almost 200 local people took the survey. The website surveys people's policy choices rather than party choices and calculates which party is most closely aligned to them.
Stuart Jeffery, Green Party candidate for Canterbury and Whitstable: "Once again the Green Party is demonstrating that it has the right ideas and right policies for people.

In the news today is that Microsoft is acquiring GitHub (Pocket Link to Verge). That's a big deal for a lot of big (and small) open source projects. It's definitely going to rub a lot of open-source developers the wrong way, as many are motivated to contribute to open source projects as a direct response to decades of difficulties with Microsoft.
I am not a Microsoft user, nor a fan. But I do acknowledge that there's been some apparent improvements over the past few years under CEO Satya Nadella. They have some open projects that are notable, especial VS Code, which is becoming very popular. From what I hear, Windows is still a monstrosity that should not be used, but it is clear that Windows 10 is improved over the last few versions; note, last time I really used windows was still Windows 98, I think.
My suspicion is that Microsoft wants GitHub because they want to use it internally for very large projects. Recently Microsoft has been working to make git more useful for humungous projects, specifically with the virtual file system (techcrunch). By controlling GitHub, Microsoft becomes the biggest player in git as well, which I'm sure won't please some.
It's also worth noting that GitHub developed the text editor Atom, which is pretty similar to their aforementioned VS Code. Atom is an open source project, but it will be interesting to see what happens to Atom development going forward.
Finally, I'll also mention that GitHub has adopted Markdown as it's documentation markup language of choice. There's already a GitHub flavor of Markdown, which I think is probably the dominant version. Now that Microsoft owns GitHub, I wonder if it will impact the use of Markdown, and especially if GitHub-flavored Markdown will further evolve away from the original?

The First Time (Mainly for the boys out there)
October 4, 2010 Chandru Bhojwani Relationships 0
Every couple arrives at that awkward, yet inevitable juncture in their marriage. There is no comfortable way of tackling the subject as every approach has its drawbacks. Talking about it can put your partner off and make her slide to the other end of the bed. The other option is to be like Nike and 'Just do it!'. Then again, the sudden shock to her senses could drive your partner out of the room! So the question remains, how do you break wind in front of your wife for the first time?
I feel that the gradual approach works best. Before marriage, when you reach a suitable comfort level, joke about farting after marriage. Odds are, unless she's some sort of freak, she'll be disgusted and will dismiss the comment. However, you've already sowed the gaseous seed and now you just have to nurture it by watering it once in a while. Joke about farting with your friends in front of her and as she squirms, reiterate that it's just a natural part of life.
After marriage, don't let 'em rip too soon. Allow her to adjust in to her new home and a after a couple of weeks in, sneak out a quite one and see if she notices. Increase the intensity as time passes and gauge her response. When she does notice and believe me, she will notice, flip the script by using the Jedi Mind Trick and blame it on her! Eventually her accusations will turn in to defensive statements. Joke about how she let it rip to lighten the mindset but stop before she gets irritated. Whenever you find yourself 'dropping bombs over Bhagdad', accuse her right off the bat before she points a finger at you. A couple of weeks later, admit to dropping the stinker 'that first night' and by then, she's accustomed to Eau Du Husband.
Bottom line (no pun intended), it's not like she doesn't 😛

Anton Maglica (born 11 November 1991) is a Croatian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Liga I club CFR Cluj.

Club career

Osijek
Born in Brčko, Maglica started his career playing at youth level for Orašje. After he moved to Osijek to attend high school, he immediately underwent trial at NK Osijek and joined their youth team. He made his debut for the first team in the last round of 2008–09 Prva HNL season against Slaven Belupo on 31 May 2009, when he replaced Josip Knežević for the final twenty minutes of the match. Next season he also got the chance as a substitute in the last round, this time in a home win against Cibalia. He scored his first goal in Prva HNL in a 1–0 victory over Cibalia at fog-covered Gradski vrt.

Hajduk Split
In the 2010–11 and 2011–12 seasons, Maglica made a name for himself as one of the best up and coming young Croatian attacking talents in the 1. HNL and was signed by league giants HNK Hajduk Split, rejected a larger offer from GNK Dinamo Zagreb in the process and immediately endearing himself to the club's loyal fans. He scored his first goal for his new club after coming on as a substitute against NK Zagreb. He scored the fifth goal of an emphatic 5–1 victory. His first season with the Bili gave a disappointing return of 5 goals in 17 appearances. The 13/14 season was far more successful for the striker as he scored 12 goals in 31 appearances.

He left Hajduk in January 2016 to join Cypriot side Apollon Limassol.

Apollon Limassol
Maglica signed for Apollon Limassol in a winter transfer window of the 2016–17 season.

Guizhou Hengfeng
Maglica signed for Chinese side Guizhou Hengfeng in a winter transfer window of the 2018–19 season.

Career statistics
Statistics accurate as of match played 2 March 2023.

Q: What are all of the possible Class Names in QTP or where can I find them? I'm using QTP 11 and I could use a handy reference for all of the possible values for "Class Name". I'm not trying to manipulate this information. I just need a reference.
For example I know that I can access any input element using "WebEdit()" but what do I use for, say, a table cell.
I want a list I can refer to, not steps for finding the type of an object.

A: Since micclass is the same thing as the Class Name property (other than programming placement), the class names of the objects that you are trying to apply to micclass can be utilized. To find the class names of all objects used in the QTP environment, you can use the Mercury.ObjectRepositoryUtil to iterate through the objects and collect what's necessary for the micclass.
More details on that -> Here and Here

A: Three options come to mind immediately:
Option A. The handiest way to find the names probably is to look into the dialog Tools/Object Identification.
There, in the "Test Object classes" listview, you see all test object class names for the environment selected under "Environment" that QTP knows of.
Option B. If in the dialog from A. you push the "Generate script" button, creating a script. Use a grep facility (or TextPad, for that matter) to extract all lines containing the text "Object identification configuration for" from that script. This results in a text which after some cleanup is these lists:
User-defined (?):
"abtobjectgraphicswidget"
"cwarrowbutton"
"cwcheckbutton"
"cwlabel"
"cwpushbutton"
"cwradiobutton"
"cwtext"
"cwtext_multi"
"ewflowediconlist"
"ewiconarea"
"ewiconlist"
"ewicontree"
"ewpmnotebook"
"ewspinbutton"
"ewtablelist"
"ewtabletree"
"ewwinnotebook"

"msvb_lib_toolbar"
"richedit"
"seccustomtoolbar"
"secmenubar"
"sectabctrl"
"sectabwnd"
"sectreectrl"
"sectreeview"
"stgrid"
"sysdatetimepick32"
"sysmonthcal32"
"textedit"
"treeview20wndclass"
"treeviewwndclass"

Standard (?):
"activex"
"acxbutton"
"acxcalendar"
"acxcheckbox"
"acxcombobox"
"acxedit"
"acxradiobutton"
"acxtable"
"javaapplet"
"javabutton"
"javacalendar"
"javacheckbox"
"javadialog"
"javaedit"
"javaexpandbar"
"javainternalframe"
"javalink"
"javalist"
"javamenu"
"javaobject"
"javaradiobutton"
"javaslider"
"javaspin"
"javastatictext"
"javatab"
"javatable"
"javatoolbar"
"javatree"
"javawindow"
"dialog"
"static"
"winbutton"
"wincalendar"
"wincheckbox"
"wincombobox"
"window"
"winedit"
"wineditor"
"winlist"
"winlistview"

"wintreeview"
"browser"
"frame"

"page"
"viewlink"
"webarea"
"webbutton"
"webcheckbox"
"webedit"
"webelement"
"webfile"
"weblist"
"webradiogroup"
"webtable"

Note 1: the user-defined objects are probably add-on specific, or otherwise registered in a special way in QTP.
Note 2: this is just a sample of what you might get on your machine. For example, I don´t have the Delphi add-on active, so all the Delphi control´s test object class names are missing. If you want me to activate all add-ons, and re-create this list, I´ll give you my bank account first ;)
Option C. In the online help, from the contents, try navigating to the "HP QuickTest Professional Object Model Reference". It contains chapters per environment, and most of them consist of "X Object" chapters, i.e. there is a "WebButton Object" chapter under "Web".
Option D. See Rich's answer :-O
