Ease of programming, or programmability, is a necessary condition for the success of any many-core platform, and teachability is a necessary condition for programmability and in turn for productivity. The teachability of the XMT approach has been demonstrated extensively; for example, since 2007 more than 100 students in grades K– 12 have learned to program XMT, including in two magnet programs: Montgomery Blair High School, Silver Spring, MD, and Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, Alexandria, VA. 22 Others are Baltimore Polytechnic High School, where 70% of the students are African American, and a summer workshop for mid-dle-school students from underrepresented groups in Montgomery County, MD, public schools.
In the fall of 2010, I jointly conducted another experiment, this one via video teleconferencing with Professor David Padua of the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign using Open MP and XMTC, with XMTC programming assignments run on the XMT 64-processor FPGA machine. Our hope was to produce a meaningful comparison of programming development time from the 30 participating Illinois students. The topics and problems covered in the PRAM/ XMT part of the course were significantly more advanced than Open MP alone. Having sought to demonstrate the importance of teachability from middle school on up, I strongly recommend that it becomes a standard benchmark for evaluating many-core hardware platforms.
Blake et al. 4 reported that after ana-
lyzing current desktop/laptop appli-
cations for which the goal was better
performance, the applications tend to
comprise many threads, though few
of them are used concurrently; conse-
quently, the applications fail to trans-
late the increasing thread-level paral-
lelism in hardware to performance
gains. This problem is not surprising
given that most programmers can't
handle multi-core microprocessors.
In contrast, guided by the simple ICE
abstraction and by the rich PRAM
knowledgebase to find parallelism,
XMT programmers are able to repre-
sent that parallelism using a type of
threading the XMT hardware is engi-
neered to exploit for performance.

My grandfather was in the Utah Guard before Pearl Harbor. Shortly after he was activated and sent to Schofield Barracks. He was a member of the 25th infantry division as a medic. He has in his personal history the campaigns he was in. He was in Guadalcanal to relieve the 1st Marine Division. Then the island hopping, then training, and finally in the liberation of Luzon. He was awarded a bronze star and I will post the letter or citation (aside from a certain number of other medals gave you a bronze star). He was from Ogden Utah. I am looking for information on him and his unit. The book 165 days in Luzon has a drawing of an injured soldier being loaded onto a truck. One of his buddies sent him a copy after he couldn't make a reunion and pointed out that the picture was probably Joe Williams, as the circumstances were something he remembered.

Political Prisoners Stay Behind Bars as COVID-19 Surges in Iran. This Activist Is Risking Her Life to Get Them Out
It was the acclaimed Iranian human rights lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh whom activist Shaparak Shajarizadeh credit with saving her life. Detained in February 2018 for collaborating within the White Wednesday civil disobedience motion towards Iran's necessary veiling regulation, Shajarizadeh was positioned in solitary confinement whereas Iranian authorities denied her entry to her lawyer. Launched, briefly detained once more the following month, and once more in Might whereas on vacation along with her son, she started a starvation strike, initially refusing water. "Nasrin got here to jail and advised me if you wish to go on a starvation strike, that's okay, however drink water," Shajarizadeh tells TIME from Toronto, the place she has lived in exile since September 2018.
A veteran of the 40-year-long battle for girls's rights in Iran, Sotoudeh supplied extra than simply reassurance. Her advocacy focussed worldwide consideration on the instances of activists detained for protesting Iran's obligatory hijab regulation. It was due to Sotoudeh's work as an legal professional that Shajarizadeh was launched on bail in Might 2018. By the point an Iranian court docket handed down an in absentia jail sentence of 20 years, Shajarizadeh had already left the nation along with her younger son. "Nasrin was a pillar for us girls at the moment," Shajarizadeh says. "She would discuss to the media about our instances; she made positive the world was watching."
Two years on, Sotoudeh is the one risking her life in a starvation strike, whereas Shajarizadeh is attempting to ensure the world pays consideration. Sotoudeh was arrested in June 2018 on ambiguous fees related to her work as an legal professional, not lengthy after defending Shajarizadeh and different activists. She has since been incarcerated at Tehran's infamous Evin Jail, becoming a member of different activists and intellectuals behind bars.
That is the second time in lower than six months that Sotoudeh has gone on a starvation strike to demand the discharge of Iran's political detainees in the course of the world pandemic. She has as soon as once more "put her life on the road for imprisoned journalists, girls's rights defenders, juveniles, attorneys, spiritual minorities and environmentalists," says Canada's former justice minister Irwin Cotler, a part of the authorized workforce representing Sotoudeh internationally, "Her braveness and dedication are unwavering."
Iran is presently battling a surge in COVID-19 instances, and whereas it launched round 100,000 prisoners earlier this yr, most political prisoners stay behind bars. (The virus might be transmitted simply in prisons and the U.N. has urged governments around the globe to free political detainees in the course of the pandemic.) For months, Sotoudeh has known as for Iran to launch her fellow prisoners of conscience. "Political [activists] have been accused of unbelievable acts: espionage, corruption on earth, undermining nationwide safety, prostitution, forming unlawful channels on [messaging app] Telegram which may maintain them behind bars for as much as 10 years and even result in execution," Sotoudeh writes in a letter dated Aug. 11, seen by TIME. "From the very begin of the judicial course of right through to sentencing, many suspects are denied unbiased authorized illustration or prevented from unrestrained session with their attorneys." She writes that since "all correspondences stay unanswered," she determined to start out a starvation strike on Tuesday.
Fabrice Coffrini—AFP/Getty PicturesIranian girls's rights activist Shaparak Shajarizadeh on the sidelines of The Geneva Summit for Human Rights and Democracy, in Geneva on Feb. 18, 2020.
Tehran's Evin Jail has been Iran's most important facility for the detention of prisoners of conscience since 1972. Months into Sotoudeh's preliminary five-year sentence there, authorities convicted her in absentia on seven extra fees together with "propaganda towards the state," "showing on the judiciary with out Islamic hijab," and "encouraging prostitution." That introduced her complete sentence to 38 years and added 148 lashes to her sentence. The heaviest of those extra fees was a 12-year time period for "selling immorality and indecency", Sotoudeh wrote in an opinion piece for TIME on Worldwide Ladies's Day—Iran's authorized system obliges her to serve it earlier than she is eligible for parole. Amnesty Worldwide has known as each of the trials at which Sotoudeh was convicted "grossly unfair."
Her first starvation strike, starting March 16, began days after Iranian authorities introduced that they had briefly launched 85,000 prisoners. By the top of April Iran had launched 100,000 prisoners as a part of what a spokesman for the nation's judiciary known as "a big transfer" to guard prisoners' well being. But political prisoners had been principally unnoticed of the mass furlough and a whole lot remained in crowded, unsanitary quarters the place social distancing was unimaginable.
As of Aug. 14, Iran had recorded over 19,000 deaths on account of the coronavirus pandemic, already the very best determine within the Center East. However in accordance with a BBC investigation revealed on Aug. three the dying toll could possibly be triple that. And though Iranian officers have described their efforts to guard prisoners from the pandemic as "exemplary," the U.N.'s Workplace of the Excessive Commissioner for Human Rights continues to boost considerations over Iran's incarceration of prisoners of conscience, together with these reportedly unwell with COVID-19 signs. Leaked letters obtained by Amnesty Worldwide in July present that the Iranian authorities has ignored repeated pleas from senior Iranian officers chargeable for managing the nation's prisons for sources to regulate the unfold of COVID-19 and deal with contaminated prisoners. There are indicators the virus is spreading inside Evin: out of 17 inmates jail authorities just lately examined in a single ward, 12 examined constructive for the virus, the Heart for Human Rights in Iran reported on Aug. 11.
Sotoudeh's preliminary starvation strike, which lasted six days, was "extremely efficient", in accordance with the Canada-based authorized workforce that represents her internationally. "Iranian authorities launched prisoners in her ward whom she particularly requested be launched, some with well being points or weak immune techniques," says Yonah Diamond, a authorized counsel on the Toronto-based Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights. (TIME couldn't independently affirm a connection between Sotoudeh's starvation strike and the discharge of particular prisoners.)
Nonetheless, Sotoudeh's family and friends fear about her well being. Her husband Reza Khandan advised TIME in a press release that for the kinfolk of detained activists "essentially the most tough days are when a member of the family goes on starvation strike." Khandan additionally highlights the life-threatening dangers of declining meals, noting that Iran has had "unhealthy experiences with starvation strikes amongst political prisoners lately." In December 2018, activist Vahid Sayadi Nasiri, who was detained in Qom Jail, died in his cell after a 60-day starvation strike.
Shajarizadeh, the exiled girls's rights activist, can perceive the bodily and psychological misery Sotoudeh is probably going now experiencing. Though she says the signs differ from individual to individual, she acutely remembers the agony of her personal starvation strikes. The prospect of Sotoudeh endeavor one when her immune system may have to battle a deadly virus fills Shajarizadeh with concern, she says, however she understands why it's vital. "Generally, the one factor you will have [to fight with] is your life."
Sotoudeh is without doubt one of the Iranian girls's rights activists featured in "40 Million," a brief documentary from director Jeff Kaufman for TIME. It may be seen on the prime of this web page.

To what extent is t=0 relevant to the doctrine of creation ex nihilo? Responses have ranged widely from direct relevance to complete irrelevance.
i) Direct relevance: For some, the scientific discovery of an absolute beginning of all things (including time) provides empirical confirmation, perhaps even proof, of divine creation. This was the position taken by Pope Pius XII in 1951 in an address to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences. In 1978 Robert Jastrow, then head of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, spoke metaphorically about scientists who, after climbing the arduous mountain of cosmology, came to the summit only to find theologians there already. The idea that t=0 provides strong, even convincing, support for belief in God is frequently advanced by conservative and evangelical Christians. A more nuanced argument showing the theological importance of there being a beginning of the universe and the "consonance" between theology and Big Bang cosmology on this point was developed by Peters in a number of writings. Peters combines this with 'temporal holism', an insistence that the prefection of creation lies in the future, not the past, particularly in its eschatological fulfillment (see Part 2/E/3 below). A very sophisticated argument for the temporal finitude of the universe based on t=0, as well as on an argument that rejects the possibility that the universe is also actually infinite in size, has been developed by William Craig, partially through an explicit debate with atheist Quentin Smith More recently, Phil Clayton has suggested that contemporary cosmology affords a clear case of divine activity.
t=0 also has served to inspire the construction of an alternative, and very successful, cosmology. In the 1940s, Fred Hoyle, an outspoken atheist, together with colleagues Hermann Bondi and Thomas Gold, constructed a cosmology that would have no temporal beginning or end. Their "steady state cosmology" depicted the universe as eternally old and expanding exponentially forever. For two decades, the Big Bang and the steady state models seemed equally viable given the empirical evidence then available. By the mid 1960s, however, the Big Bang model was vindicated, at least in most scientists' minds, by the discovery of the microwave background radiation and the successful prediction of the cosmological abundances of hydrogen and helium in the 1960's. What is important here, however, is Hoyle's motivation in developing the steady state cosmology. One reason, although probably only secondary, was his concern that Big Bang cosmology seemed, at least in the public mind, to support Christianity. Of course, any such proposal --- steady state or Big Bang --- must be tested strictly by the scientific community; the role of t=0 and its religious overtones is restricted to the 'context of discovery' and excluded from the 'context of justification.' Nevertheless it demonstrates that very fruitful ideas can come from 'extra scientific' disciplines, such as philosophy and theology, and lead even if indirectly to scientific theories with testable consequences (see Part 3, B below).
ii) Complete irrelevance: Nor surprisingly, those who view theology and science as totally separate fields find no relevance in t=0. What may seem surprising is that several of the most important scholars in the theology and science interaction agree that when it comes this specific issue. Here, creatio ex nihilo is seen as an entirely philosophical argument regarding contingency for which specific empirical evidence is irrelevant. The contingency of the universe consists in its sheer existence, and is entirely independent of the question of its temporal beginning. Arthur Peacocke, John Polkinghorne, and Bill Stoeger, take this position, as do process theologians who eschew creatio ex nihilo in general. Ian Barbour did so in his earlier writings but has since shifted to the third option (iii). Recently, Steven Baldner and William Carroll have defended this position on the basis of Thomistic metaphysics.
iii) Indirect relevance: There are a variety of positions that one can take between the two extremes of direct relevancy and complete irrelevancy. Those assuming what I call the 'indirect relevance' approach include Ian Barbour (in his recent work), Walter Hearne, Ernan McMullin, Nancey Murphy and George Ellis, Ted Peters, Thomas M. Ross, Howard van Till, and Mark Worthing. I have suggested that the contingency of the universe can be categorized in three ways: global contingency, local contingency and nomological contingency, and each of these, in turn, can be differentiated further. Global contingency includes both the existence of the universe as such (which I call its 'global ontological contingency') as well as contingent theoretical or empirical aspects of the universe as a whole (its 'global existential contingency'). t=0 would come under the latter; it is a form of past temporal finitude, and this is a form of temporal finitude, and this of finitude, and thus finally of global existential contingency. Thus its existence and its beginning relate to different strands of global contingency.
I also stress that the infinities in size and future of the flat and open models argue against contingency. Drawing on McFague's approach of metaphorical theology, I extended McMullin's term, 'consonance', and suggested that if t=0 is 'consonant' with creation theology then these infinities are 'dissonant' with both creation and eschatology. Finally, by embedding t=0 within philosophical theology, we have a method by which the conversation can continue when scientific cosmologies change, as they already have with the development of inflationary and quantum cosmologies (below).

Amy Winehouse's young talent caught on camera
A new clip has just been released from the upcoming documentary, Amy, which tells the story of the life and tragic demise of one of the world's most talented musicians.
While the film comes out 3 July, a short video has just been released that shows a 14-year-old Amy Winehouse singing Happy Birthday – and it is absolutely stunning.
Proving that she had an unmistakable talent from an incredibly young age, the clip is just one of many that features in the forthcoming film.
The movie is directed by Asif Kapadia who takes an in-depth look at Amy's life and the all the factors that led to her untimely death.
"I honestly think 50 things killed her," Mr Kapadia admitted to E! "It's no simple thing. It's everything. It's her situation at home. It's her family, her relationships, it's her boyfriend, it's no self-esteem… not feeling enough love to love herself and to care about herself. Everything."
The film has already had its fair share of controversy with Amy's father denouncing it and saying it deliberately makes him look bad.
Amy, who was the first British female artist to win five Grammys, tragically died in 2011 at the age of 27 from accidental alcohol poisoning.

Q: How am I supposed to change the Bootstrap CSS properties in a new Yeoman project? With a new Yeoman project are you supposed to leave the vendor CSS as is and override it using a new CSS file? I ask because the main.css file is created in /styles and the bootstrap.css file is buried down in the bower_components folder. I know that either way will work and that once the app is built all the CSS gets concatenated into one file. I just want to know what the best practice and/or what the Yeoman devs intended.

A: Yes, you should override any vendor CSS with your own custom CSS file that gets loaded after the vendor CSS.  Hope this helps.

Q: Problem the_permalink Morning everyone, I'm sorry to disturb, but I need help if possible.
The code below I need to publish part of the contents of some pages.
Firstly I have a problem with "the_permalink" despite write the correct address, this is where he wants (see image). Puts for example before H2 and however outside the tag A.

Secondly I would like to filter out and ONLY a few pages with specific ID but have not been able to find a solution. I tried to put it but it does not work.
new WP_Query( 'post_type=page&include=30,60' );

Code that I used
    <?php
// Lista Pagine con the_excerpt e the_post_thumbnail

// Query Pages
   $my_query = new WP_Query( 'post_type=page' );

// The Loop
   while ( $my_query->have_posts() ) :
   $my_query->the_post();
   echo '

' . get_the_title() . '

' . get_the_excerpt() . '

' . get_the_post_thumbnail() . '

      ' . get_the_title() . '';
   endwhile;

   wp_reset_query();
?>

Thanks in advance.

A: the_permalink() will echo the content immediately. You can't use it for string concatenation. What is happening is that your permalink gets echoed by the_permalink() before the string is finished building, so the permalink ends up in the wrong place.
What you need instead is get_the_permalink().
Side note: Because PHP's echo will take multiple parameters, separating your strings with a comma (argument delimiter) rather that a period (concatenation operator) should also work:
echo '

' , get_the_title() , '

' , get_the_excerpt() , '

' , get_the_post_thumbnail() , '

  ' , get_the_title() , '';

If you do it that way, every component of the string echos immediately. You are never concatenating a string so things never get out of order.
As far as excluding pages, you want posts__in not include but that requires, or limits the query to, the specified post IDs. To exclude, you want posts__not_in. And don't use the "query var" syntax. It will trip you up. Use an array like this from example from the Codex:
$query = new WP_Query(
  array(
    'post_type' => 'post',
    'post__not_in' => array( 2, 5, 12, 14, 20 )
  )
);

Superhero Harry goes back to school as parents launch appeal in his name
Superhero Harry St Ledger is back at school after six weeks of gruelling treatment for an incurable brain tumour.
The six-year-old, who has inspired a fundraising appeal to fund research helping to find a cure for the disease and campaigning for greater national investment into this area of research, was welcomed back by classmates at Castle Primary School in Portchester, Hampshire, who held a superhero-themed event in his honour on Friday 25th May.
Harry, aged six, was dressed as Spider-Man while his sister Emonie, aged eight and also a pupil at the school, decided to dress as her real-life hero – her brother Harry. The little boy endured his radiotherapy with the help of the superpowers of his favourite comic character whose striking features were painted onto the mesh-mask which Harry wore to ensure the treatment could be delivered with pinpoint accuracy. Each day for 30 days, the mask was bolted across his head, face, and shoulders during treatment.
Staff and pupils were raising money for the newly-launched Harry's Appeal for Brain Tumour Research. Launched by his parents Ciaran St Ledger and Fiona Lear, the appeal has a target of £50,000 and is highlighting the fact that brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease. Brain Tumour Research funds a network of Centres of Excellence, including one at the University of Portsmouth, where scientists are focused on improving treatment options and, ultimately, finding a cure.
Just two months ago Harry, who has autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), was diagnosed with a very rare type of tumour similar to a diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), which has an unbearably stark prognosis. Originally treated at Queen Alexandra Hospital in Cosham and then at Southampton General Hospital, he then underwent six weeks of radiotherapy at University College, London. Just two weeks ago he was readmitted to hospital locally because of swelling on his brain which is thought to have been caused by the treatment.
His father Cairan, who runs HSL Outdoor Cleaning, said: "We continue to live in a nightmare scenario, not knowing what the future will bring. We do know that Harry's tumour is incurable and the prognosis is extremely bleak. His first MRI after radiotherapy was inconclusive and we are now waiting for another to see if the treatment has had any effect on the tumour.
"We remain angry at the lack of treatment options and appalled at the historic underfunding of research into brain tumours and have launched our appeal in Harry's name so that other families don't have to go through the same painful experience as we have and continue to go through. It would be a great achievement for Harry to make a difference."
DIPG is a specific type of brainstem glioma which usually occurs in children between five and seven, it makes up 15% of all brain tumours in young children. The cells infiltrate the surrounding nerves and are very difficult to remove surgically therefore the treatment that is available is limited. The standard treatment is radiotherapy which can improve symptoms in the short term.
Robin Meltzer, Director of Fundraising for pioneering charity Brain Tumour Research said: "Harry and his family are going through unimaginable distress because of this disease. Brain tumours are indiscriminate; they can affect anyone, at any age. What's more, they kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer – and more children than leukaemia – yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease.
"We are extremely grateful to Harry, his parents and sister, for all they are doing to help others. We hope his story will bring home to everyone the unique horror of this disease and the fact that brain tumours are indiscriminate and can affected anyone at any age."

The civil aviation industry in India has emerged as one of the fastest growing industries in the country during the last three years. India is currently considered the third largest domestic civil aviation market in the world. It is expected to overtake UK to become the third largest air passenger market by 2024 according to a report by IATA.
This points to considerable growth in the industry. In turn, careers within the aviation industry in India is set to boom and be rewarding. The industry is already grappling with shortages in talent in most areas such as pilots and technical staff.
India is ramping up airport infrastructure throughout the country expanding capacity and providing access to people for air travel. To cater to the rapidly growing demand, airline operators have been expanding their capacity. New airlines, domestic and international are growing within the country in terms of flight numbers.
A report from staffing firm TeamLease suggests that the aviation sector in India was short of 500 pilots in 2019 against the 1,300 the airlines had on the roster. During the same year, there was a dearth of cabin crew as well—1,350 short of the optimum 4,900. To handle duties on the ground, there were only 9,200 personnel, compared with the requirement of 15,800. The current projections for 2020 point to higher demand for aviation jobs than supply. Last year, the Chief Executive of Chimes Aviation Academy, which trains pilots, Y.N. Sharma said the industry needs 900 pilots every year and around 250 pilots are trained in India every year. Another institute, Frankfinn Institute of Air Hostess Training has been steadily increasing their student intake every year. They train over 10,000 students each year.
In the last two months alone, Indigo partnered with Chimes Aviation Academy for its flagship cadet pilot programme, Spicejet launched their cadet pilot training program, India made commercial pilot licences faster and easier to beat the shortage in airlines' most-expensive asset – pilots. As Indian airlines start to receive their aircrafts and government launches new airports to improve connectivity, the hiring outlook for aviation in India is looking bright for the next five years.
India's aviation industry is largely untapped with huge growth opportunities, considering that air transport is still expensive for majority of the country's population, of which nearly 40 per cent is the upwardly mobile middle class. As accessibility increases in Tier I and Tier II cities, the industry is in for a change.
Rolled out in 2016, UDAN – RCS, a regional connectivity scheme has led to affordable air connectivity from several previously under-served or un-served airports. As on 7 December 2019, 44 airports were started under this scheme. By 20 January 2020, 248 routes were commenced under RCS routes.
Career opportunities exist in a wide variety of areas such as Airport Management, Aviation Hospitality, Ground staff, Cabin Crew, Pilots, Aircraft maintenance, Airfare and Ticket management, Aerospace Engineering, Avionics engineering, Aviation doctors, Aviation psychologists, Customer support, Logistics Management, Air Traffic control, Management and support functions, Training, Facility management etc.,
As of December, 2,301 pilots were recruited via recruitment exams held by scheduled airlines. In comparison, 1,221 and 1,696 pilots recruited in 2017 and 2018 respectively. With 1,088 pilots hired in 2019, IndiGo remained at the top of recruitment which was 148 per cent higher than in 2017. SpiceJet hired 398 pilots compared to 143 pilots in 2017. Air Asia hired 246 pilots in 2019 which is 173 per cent higher than in 2017. Vistara too hired 224 pilots in 2019 which is 194 per cent higher than that of 2017.
It is known that a growing shortage of pilots represents one of the biggest challenges facing the airline industry. In 2019 June, Boeing CEO, Dennis Muilenburg mentioned that Boeing estimated the number of new commercial airplanes would rise to 44,000, up from 43,000, over the next twenty years.
Demand for air travel is growing so rapidly that 800,000 new pilots are expected to be needed over the next two decades.
The biggest need is in the Asia-Pacific region, where an improving economy has resulted in more people booking flights.
Today, in Asia, pilots from the U.S., Europe and Africa are employed to overcome the shortage of pilots in the region. As pilot training costs come down, demand for pilots well publicised and economies of households in this region improve, there is an immense opportunity for pilots.
Within Asia, China and India are providing most of the growth in aviation as the number of passengers increase.
New programs in pilot training will be created due to this, possibly including financial support.
As pilot labor supply remains constrained, airlines are increasingly seeking to recruit, develop, and train locally sourced pilots. Cadet programs that train aspiring pilots to be a qualified, competent, and operationally-ready first officer have increased in popularity as airlines look to fill future pilot pipelines. Airlines are also recognizing the significant cost burden for students, and bond programs have gained traction as another avenue for interested candidates.
Over the next 20 years, the Asia Pacific region will lead the worldwide growth in demand for pilots, with a requirement for 266,000 new pilots. North America will require 212,000, Europe 148,000, the Middle East 68,000, Latin America 54,000, Africa 29,000 and Russia / Central Asia 27,000.
As new generation airplanes become more prominent in the global fleet, advances in airplane technology will drive demand for a new set of skills, such as digital troubleshooting and composites repair. Concurrently, operators and MROs will be challenged to ensure technicians continue to maintain the skills and capability necessary to service the large fleet of older generation aircraft. These two skill sets often differ, creating opportunities for the industry to enhance its standard training curriculum
The need for maintenance personnel is largest in the Asia Pacific region, which will require 266,000 new technicians. Airlines in North America will require 193,000, Europe 137,000, the Middle East 69,000, Latin America 52,000, Africa 27,000, and Russia / Central Asia 25,000. It is estimated that India alone will need over 1,00,000 technicians in the next 5 years.
Cabin crew are essential to ensuring the safety and comfort of passengers and can provide a level of service that enables brand differentiation. As airlines continue to refine business models and personalize offerings to specific market segments, additional demand for cabin crew will result from aircraft up-gauging, denser seat configurations, and multiple cabin configurations. Regulatory requirements and customer preferences will continue to drive demand across the industry.
Training continues to focus on providing superior customer service and ensuring cabin crew have the skills to recognize and mitigate safety risks. Advances in scenario-based training and mobile learning technologies support continuous learning and prepare cabin crew for situations that may occur in the cabin.
Over the next 20 years, the largest projected growth in cabin crew demand is in the Asia Pacific region, with a requirement for 327,000 new cabin crew. Europe will require 194,000, North America 176,000, Middle East 104,000, Latin America 53,000, Russia / Central Asia 30,000, and Africa 30,000..
Boeing estimates that new airplane deliveries between 2019 and 2032 would be 44,040. 40% of this demand will come from Asia Pacific region with most of them in India and China.
About 42 % of the market value in aviation during that period will originate in Asia Pacific region with India and China accounting for over 50% of it.
Aeronautical engineering focuses on the construction and design of aircraft. A successful Aeronautical engineer grasps the principles of physics and flight.
Aeronautical engineers are mainly involved with designing aircraft and their propulsion systems, as well as studying the aerodynamic performance of aircraft and construction materials.
An aeronautical engineer's career involves creating detailed diagrams and conducting simulated tests to ensure everything runs as efficiently as possible. An aeronautical engineer's career may involve supervising the workers who build prototypes to make certain they meet the manufacturer's or government's precise specifications. Many industries rely on aeronautical engineering skills. Aeronautical engineers may also be involved with the science and technology of spacecraft, including how spacecraft perform inside the earth's atmosphere. Aeronautical engineers typically specialize in a certain type of aircraft, such as private planes, helicopters, or commercial jets. Most specialize in one of the many electrical or mechanical systems that comprise aircraft, such as the propulsion system, engines, robotics, instrumentation and
communication, or navigation boards.
If working for aviation safety and security sounds like an exciting and challenging opportunity, then an air traffic controller career may be in your future.
Air traffic controllers authorize, control and monitor the flow of aviation traffic according to federal and company safety policies and procedures.
Air traffic controller careers include organizing and coordinating the arrival and landing of airplanes. Air traffic controller careers involve relaying instructions to pilots, directing the movement of aircrafts using specialized radar and computer equipment to maximize safety and informing and authorizing pilots of flight path changes and/or emergencies.An air traffic controller career involves relaying important information such as weather reports or visibility issues and monitoring ground traffic including baggage vehicles and workers.
Aircraft mechanics / technician
if you are excited about fixing an aircraft and making sure it is safe for flight, this would interest you. Aircraft mechanics keep airplanes and helicopters running properly and safely, performing regular scheduled maintenance and checks.
They examine a plane's frame and parts for defects, determine if any parts are becoming worn out, and determine any mechanical or electrical problems. Aircraft mechanics repair everything from wings to breaks to electrical systems. Aviation mechanic careers include replacing small parts with hand tools and test gauges and diagnostic equipment.
Aircraft mechanics may either work on a variety of aircrafts or specialize in one part of a specific type of aircraft, such as the engine, hydraulics, or electrical system. An aircraft technician career involves interpreting flight data, searching for possible malfunctions or performance problems.They may also be assembling components, installing instruments, and repairing any malfunctioning instruments.
Airline and Commercial Pilots
Airline and commercial pilots fly airplanes or helicopters that carry people, packages and other cargo. Commercial pilots also fly aircrafts to conduct rescue and firefighting missions as well as charter unique flights such as aerial photography.
Airline pilot careers may include reviewing safety measures and procedures including checking preflight hydraulics, engine parts and other flight systems, monitoring fuel, schedules and weather. Airline pilot careers involve listening for proper takeoff and landing instructions from air traffic controllers, checking aircraft weight distribution from loaded cargo and monitoring warning devices, cockpit instrumentation, engines and fuel levels during flight. Airline pilots also work with other crew members to maintain smooth takeoffs and landings.
Flight Attendants
It takes a strong personality, an ability to handle difficult (sometimes dangerous) situations quickly and calmly to pursue a flight attendant career.
Flight attendants offer personal services to ensure that airline passengers are secure, safe and comfortable. Flight attendant careers typically include verifying all safety equipment including oxygen bottles and fire extinguishers are working, discussing preflight briefing and issues, and ensuring an airplane has the required food and drink supplies on board.
Flight attendant careers also involve showing passengers how to use emergency equipment and making sure they fasten their seatbelts. A flight attendant career involves offering refreshments and meals, taking care of passengers during flight, assisting those with special needs and directing and assisting passengers in cases of emergency.

I have been using the AmoLatina website up to now Latina females for about four many spent much cash. You have to pay to talk and to open letter images plus a monthly registration fee of 10 dollars.
The website was "updated" in jam 2017. You no longer find any details about the company and where they are located. It has been made much more difficult to keep track of letter and connections – instead, you are flooded with demands to talk from wonderful females from around the world. This new installation has progressively helped me realize that the only focus of the website is to earn cash – and only that. I used to think the idea was to earn cash and provide a plan to help people fulfill.
In other words – it`s a fraud. For apparent reasons!
As long as the website could allow you to believe that you might gradually – after months and a lot of communicating – fulfill a charming woman, the website has no curiosity about giving you the opportunity to return contact with details with a female.
Lately, I have asked some females, if they want to provide contact details after they have said, they are interested in me, but after a few efforts to speak about something else, she will say, I have upset her because I don`t trust her. Even though I managed to get clear to her, I just want to know, whom I am speaking with.
First, why would someone want to leave a no cost internet relationship website where letters is 100 % free and go on a paid website, which is not 100 % free and can be expensive because of the technical service set up on the site? This does not create sense!
There is confirmation that there is scam-related activity going on with the website. So, people, my advice is to spend your hard earned cash on air tickets and resorts – not on AmoLatina!


Discussion in 'MyVegas' started by marsha_879, Aug 1, 2018.
What is the earliest i can purchase a 2 night comped stay in a hotel if im looking to stay on the 2nd and 3rd of sept...at the minute we are goin to purchase1 night each as both my hubby and myself play myvegas.i just dont want to mess this up as theres not a lot of comped rooms available for the 2nd sept.
Comp rooms have been available till year end since May.
You need to book your hotel room within 30 days of purchasing the reward. Your stay can be outside of those 30 days (ex: book today for dates in November).
Just as an FYI, it isn't exactly "purchase-book-redeem" for getting rooms through MyVegas. Once you book, the reward is considered redeemed and if you should cancel there is no refund of the loyalty points used to book.

This has been the home Harrogate CC since 1877 and five years later it staged its first first-class match when an England XI played the touring Australians (believed to be the first first-class game to start on a Saturday). In 1894 Yorkshire staged their first Championship fixture, and they continued to play there regularly until 1996 when the fixture list was almost exlusively centred on Headingley. Between 1974 and 1996 an annual Harrogate festival was held. In 1904 the ground was at the centre of controversy when the game against Kent was abandoned after the pitch was interfered with overnight - this was not the first time such an occurrence was reported. The best attendance was 15,000 who attended an India-Pakistan charity match in 1996 - Yorkshire's best was 13,630 for the match against Glamorgan in 1962.
The main pavilion which dominates the ground was built in 1896 and further additions were made in 1956 (the Mound Stand) and 1965 (the Tavern). In 1936 Harrogate CC were in financial difficulties and the ground was bought by the city corporation, who still own the venue. Harrogate CC, who reached the final of the National Club Knockout in 1998, still play on the ground. In 2005 Bradford/Leeds UCCE started playing matches at Harrogate following the decision to vacate Bradford Park Avenue.

Shapes of a Vivid Kingdom: The Paintings of Mary Kay, 1991
I was born in the Chiltern Hills forty miles north of London, chalky escarpments with pockets of clay and flint, covered in woodlands of oak, beech, ash and cherry, pasture interspersed with common land of bracken and brambles. My home town lies in a deep valley through which the Flying Scotsman ran by the side of the Grand Union Canal. It was a small market town steeped in history, for there in 1066 William the Conqueror built a flint castle which in subsequent years lords and farmers pillaged in order to build their houses and barns, and nearby Mary Tudor was kept prisoner by Queen Elizabeth the First. Hundreds of years later my parents bought half an acre of land high on the steep, south facing valley side, and on it in the early 50's built a very ugly house, plain and square. They had very little money after the war, and a huge longing. It was with this longing that they compensated for the house by building an exceptionally beautiful garden.
For eighteen years this garden worked on my being. As a child. my whole sensibility centered around the garden. I saw my parents working there, weeding, burning, watering, planting, pruning, turning the compost, feeding the chickens, cutting hedges and lawns, picking flowers and dividing plants, digging them up and relocating them. Here we ate, talked, worked, argued and dreamt. Most important for me, I think, were the hours and hours of solitude. I was the youngest of three children with many years between us, so by the time I was born my parents were in their 40s and I was pretty much left to "get on with it." For me, "it" was complete and undisturbed absorption in the garden.
Lying in the dry grass listening to the aggravated flies, watching elusive grasshoppers, smelling the wafts of decomposing grass that mulched the raspberries, walking the shady damp hedged paths, hearing the faint sounds of activity at the top of the garden – being away, removed from all that, with the lawns, hedges, orchard and vegetable garden between myself and them. I travelled extensively within the garden limits, physically, visually, viscerally, sensually, and imaginatively.
I was never really interested in growing a garden as a child. I hadn't the will or stamina needed to dig and sow and weed. But I still have lists of names of plants in my head, and I realize so much conversation was about ceanothus, garrya elliptic a, wisteria, jasmine, petunia, Jerusalem artichoke, stinking hellebore, purple sprouting broccoli, anemone blanda, the ranunculus family; and the names of roses: Phylis Byde, Peace, and Madame Isaac Pereire. These words evoke spaces, meals, color, weather, smells, objects and people; these names are locators for places and events. As I write and let the names course through my mind, I can feel a wave of sensations. My parent's garden offered a complete world, they seemed their happiest, least selfconscious when they were there. It was their place of reverie and so it became mine, a passed-on way of being.
When I left home and went to art school I had not learnt to recognize, let alone value this thing which was so much a part of me. For the next twelve years I painted things that were outside of my immediate experience; the circus, the city and the outdoor markets. I filled my canvases with people leading lives that I longed to know, that I observed vicariously and wished to understand. I had a strange fascination with the lives that were beyond the edges of my experience. During all this time I owned a small garden flat in London. I gardened the tiny pocket handkerchief plot as a matter of course, with a thoughtless intensity, effortlessly.
1984 was a time of abrupt and intense change for me, and I left my strip of garden. For the next five years my painting changed rapidly. The figures abruptly left the paintings – the subjects to which I had attached my emotions seemed no longer possible. I turned to the landscape of two London Parks, a small pond and shoreline of Suffolk. To all of these I became passionately and obsessively attached, to the extent that I think somehow I felt I owned them. I painted in watercolor from these places, and came back to the studio to paint canvases that overwhelmed me in scale and problems. This was the first time that I wanted to be swallowed up by the sensations of the place, where I wanted, despite the enormous scale, a sense of intimacy. I now see that I was searching through the images and the paint for a very specific landscape, a sense of place.
In 1987 I came to the United States to graduate school. Here I felt the most disconnected from myself, and from my subject matter. The naivete with which I came to the States is painful to recall. I had not yet understood how essentially I was connected to the places in England that I had been painting, and I had not taken into allowance that it was going to be nearly impossible to slip into an intimate relationship with a place, landscape and culture that I had no attachments to, or understanding of. This landscape was both vast, abused, overwhelming, and actually in New Haven very dangerous – no more sitting alone in the countryside painting. I only had a bike. So I felt angry, what to do, where to stay? I flailed around a lot, and made a host of lousy paintings.
Then after taking a class which required that I take particular notice of my dreams, I found myself bringing together recalled memories of the garden of my childhood, of specific configurations of that landscape, and I began to paint. Once I had made these paintings I started to notice the flowers around me, especially the particularly sensuous ones, the peonies, the magnolias; and then also the insects that were in a profusion that I had never experienced before. Now I found that my place of connection was within immediate spaces, inside, around and across the surfaces of flowers and insects. These paintings were far more nearly like my earliest recollections of my parents' garden, where I encountered flowers and insects at eye level down in and amongst them, immersed in the sensations of being tiny and seeing the intimate and overtly sensual world closer, immediately, and often when very little, for the first time.
When I arrived with a friend in Kansas in August 1989 to take up a job teaching, we found ourselves in a ravaged, desiccated and seemingly inhospitable place, parched by drought. We set about finding somewhere to live, renting a place on the railroad tracks with a triangle of brown yard containing a half-dead lilac bush, a cedar, a redbud, and an inordinate number of rabbits. The following March in desperation I rototilled two huge rectangular plots of land and set about fighting Bermuda grass, determined that if I couldn't have England, I would make it here in my yard – again wrong and naive, to say the least. We had terrible water pressure: the plumber said it looked like most people's idea of a leaking faucet. For three years I grew too large a garden for the water capacity and for my ideas of how to garden.
It took me a long time to learn what, how and when I could plant. A flower garden was my foremost desire I was not interested in growing plants to eat. I had an overwhelming desire to make something beautiful, to create a refuge, a place of reverie.
One aspect of the whole project that was the most unexpected was how difficult it was. It was an incredible ordeal: especially the relationship of my body to the heat. It took me at least a year to truly understand when to work in the garden. I don't think I have ever been so aware of my body as I have been in this climate. The almost total lack of control that I had in the garden was frustrating, and gave me a sense of humility. Seed beds were washed away in an hour, cracked dry hard-packed earth was impenetrable, hot scorching winds parched plants, and most of the species of flowers that I wanted to grow totally refused to even raise their tender heads above the ground. Then came the relentless Bermuda grass, and then, the grasshoppers.
Building the garden began as a psychological necessity; I simply could not have stayed here if I hadn't done it. It was a survival technique – I had no intention of painting it. Instead, I struggled hopelessly for a year to paint the Kansas landscape. Eventually, I collected insects from my garden and in exasperation and frustration I painted them, using them as vehicles for my expression of the human condition: violent, wasted, earth-bound, yet unbelievably beautiful and incomprehensible. I was caught by intense observation of them and the potential narrative they offered. Meanwhile I was building a more successful garden, constantly being tom between time in the garden and time in the studio needing and wanting both equally.
I had been growing cockscomb flowers, haunting, vulgar as my mother would have said, sensuous beyond belief and totally extraordinary. I found myself involved again with the convolutions of the world inside the flowers. I was hooked. I started to paint outside in the yard.
When I paint directly from the garden I'm simply battling to hold on. Usually it's pretty hellish out there. Its far too hot to think and it becomes exhausting, small changes take on mammoth proportions. Turpentine evaporating up my nose, flies and mosquitoes constantly hungry, and a small mean area of shade under the umbrella, demanding that I constantly change the position of the table, easel, painting, paint brushes, myself, the umbrella, the ropes and rocks. Fighting with a Kansas wind that is always grabbing at the umbrella and when successful takes everything with it landing crushingly in the middle of the flower garden, creating havoc.
But it's so damned beautiful, incomprehensible, so complicated that I can hardly get close to expressing the sensations I feel and see. I am moved by the cumulative experience of seeing the garden pass from its slow struggle with winter, the rush of the lush beginnings, to' its frenzied full blossoming and its growing fragility and poignant decline. Everything happens too fast to grasp and to be able to hold. That's why I stand there, just trying to see and to get a glimpse of understanding, to hold a fragment of it, before it changes, passes and is lost. Trying to find that place I know I had as a child of truly seeing, being totally absorbed, left alone and experiencing an un-nameable extended time: an epiphany, being taken in, absorbed, held inside it, a place of exhilaration, transcending. That is when the earthen carpet flies.

A Lakewood man has been charged with committing a sexual assault on a six-year-old child, authorities said Thursday.
Conrado Santos-Carmona, 27, was arrested Wednesday and was being held in the Ocean County Jail after the child disclosed to Lakewood police that Santos-Carmona, who she knew, allegedly sexually assaulted her, Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato said in a joint statement with Lakewood Police Chief Robert C. Lawson.
Based on the victim's statement to police, Lakewood detectives Nate Montgomery and Jason Pederson called the prosecutor's office's Special Victims Unit, whose detectives interviewed the victim and her mother "to get a clear picture of the allegations," the statement said.
Following the victim's interview, the investigating detectives made contact with Santos-Carmona, said Al Della Fave, spokesman for the prosecutor's office, and requested he come to police headquarters in Lakewood, where he was ultimately arrested.
Santos-Carmona has now been formally charged with sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child, Della Fave said. His bail was set by Superior Court Judge Rochelle Gizinski at $250,000 cash. Nicole's Law and a no victim contact order were implemented.
Additionally, jail records show an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainer has been filed against Santos-Carmona, who is a native of Mexico.

February 26, 2013 - 08:10 GMT hellomagazine.com Janet Jackson has revealed that she tied the knot to her boyfriend Wissam Al Mana in an intimate ceremony last year
Janet Jackson put rumours that she was going to marry her boyfriend Wissam Al Mana in an 'extravagant' wedding to rest by revealing that they actually tied the knot in 2012.
"The rumours regarding an extravagant wedding are simply not true," the couple told ETOnline in a surprise statement.
"Last year we were married in a quiet, private, and beautiful ceremony. Our wedding gifts to one another were contributions to our respective favourite children's charities.

"We would appreciate that our privacy is respected and that we are allowed this time for celebration and joy," the couple added.
Previous reports claimed that the couple were going to marry in a $20 million ceremony, after spending $3 million to fly in 500 wedding guests to Doha, Qatar, from all over the world. According to sources, the groom was also planning on giving all guests a very extravagant present as a thank you for attending, a $10,000 Rolex watch.
The newlyweds made the happy announcement as they attended the Giorgio Armani show during Milan Fashion Week.
Dressed nearly in all black, Janet, 46, looked the picture of happiness as she arrived hand in hand with her husband Wissam, 37, who was also matching in a black suit.
The couple sat on the front row and joined Princess Charlene of Monaco, who was accompanied by her brother Gareth Wittstock.
The All For You singer has been married twice before, to song artist James DeBarge and director Rene Elizonda Jr.

Life and politics from the Sunshine State's best city
Clemson, Alabama overshadow Jaguars personnel moves
Published on January 10, 2017 in Sports/Top Headlines by Bob Sparks
The College Football Playoff Championship Game was a victim of bad scheduling. When news emerged that the Jacksonville Jaguars had hired Doug Marrone as their Head Coach and Tom Coughlin as Executive Vice-President of Football Operations, who cared about a silly college football game?
While Deshaun Watson and company were upsetting Alabama on Monday night, didn't much of the nation miss part of it because they were glued to the NFL Network?
The answer is, of course, an emphatic NO.
This little exercise in sarcasm is designed to question the Jaguars' timing, not the wisdom, of this all-important announcement for their fans and community.
Not that these are anything but quality hires. That will be determined later, but the rollout does cause a bit of head scratching.
Why would you make such an announcement on a day football fans are focused on the college championship? Yes, things were beginning to leak out, as they always do, but that does not mean the team had to comment unless they wished to do so.
"We cannot confirm those rumors," is a line that always works, because it is always true.
The hiring of Marrone, Coughlin and the extension of team general manager David Caldwell represent the biggest moves the team will make until draft day. Jags.com described them as "eye-opening changes." You bet they are.
On the other hand, by the time Hunter Renfrow caught the championship-winning pass for Clemson, how many were unaware – even in Jacksonville – about these eye-openers before closing their eyes to sleep early Tuesday morning?
By participating in the story on Monday, the Jaguars have allowed others to control the narrative until Thursday's official introductory press conference. Owner Shad Khan said the right things, including the introduction of the three, but those things could have been said on a day where competition for news coverage was far less intense.
"I have confidence that one day soon, we'll look back on today's news as the moment that inspired and ultimately established the Jacksonville Jaguars as a football team that wins, week to week and season to season," Khan said in his statement. "The results will speak for themselves in time, but with Tom coming in to join Dave and Doug, there is no question the Jacksonville Jaguars are a stronger football team today."
These moves are not likely to be fully embraced by what is left of Jaguar Nation. All three, in some aspects represent the past and the present. Only winning will win them over.
Those buying the tickets wanted change. Make the Jaguars Great Again!
Or at least 10-6!
On Thursday, the Jaguars will be the center of attention in their community. It is then the questions will come about the circumstances behind Marrone's departure as Head Coach of the Buffalo Bills, and will Marrone be intimidated by Coughlin hovering over him?
Hopefully the leadership team will be asked for their plan to make the Jags winners again.
Hopefully things will go well on Thursday. In the end, success will first be measured in season ticket sales before the team ever takes the field.
Confidence in the team's direction will go a long way to putting people in seats at EverBank Field. The drive to make Khan's statement come true begins now.
Correction; It began on Monday night.

The article presents the development of urban car-sharing systems. In recent years, we have observed substantial increase in the number of such systems implemented all over the world. The number of users has also been rapidly growing which translates into the impact car-sharing services have on transportation behaviour. Additionally, the process contributes to changes of the modal split. The analysis presented covers systems in operation in Europe, Asia and North America. The article is divided into two parts. The first one presents historical development of car-sharing systems, whereas the second, prospects for their development in 2020-2025.

Q: how to display the first/ second .... nth latest nodes in panel/ views? in the panel context from existing (single)nodes? what do i put in there to retrieve only one node content, query from the latest, eg: the first latest, or the second latest or the third and so on.
Also how to do so with the views module?

A: if you just want to show latest first, second and third node content in different areas of your page what you would do is create 3 different displays in a new view -
first latest node content block
order by post data DESC and in your block under Basic Settings > Items per page > change limit to 1 and leave offset at 0
second latest node content block
order by post data DESC and in your block under Basic Settings > Items per page > change limit to 1 and leave offset at 1
third latest node content block
order by post data DESC and in your block under Basic Settings > Items per page > change limit to 1 and leave offset at 2
this should work fine - might not be best way to go about it but will give you what you want - also don't forget the rest of your filters such as node type. etc

The Kent area with the second highest rise in COVID cases in England
Coronavirus cases in Canterbury have nearly trebled in the space of a week, according to the latest Government data.
Official figures released last night (April 15) reveal 52 new cases in the district in the last recorded week, compared to just 18 a week before.
It represents the second biggest week-on-week increase in the country, behind only Cambridge.
KentLive has approached local public health body Kent County Council, asking if there are any specific reasons or localised outbreaks to explain the sudden rise.
The picture across the rest of the county continues to look positive.
Some five districts still have infection rates lower than 10, meaning fewer than one in 10,000 people living there have tested positive for coronavirus in the last week.
Everywhere had a reduction week-on-week except Canterbury, Gravesham and Folkestone, which increased from a total of two cases to four.
Across the country, a third of the 315 local areas in England (103) have seen a rise in case rates.
Corby in Northamptonshire continues to hav the highest rate in England, with 66 new cases recorded in the seven days to April 11, the equivalent of 91.4 cases per 100,000 people
The list below has been calculated by the PA news agency based on Public Health England data published on April 15 on the Government's coronavirus dashboard..
From left to right, it reads: name of local authority; rate of new cases in the seven days to April 11; number (in brackets) of new cases recorded in the seven days to April 11; rate of new cases in the seven days to April 4; number (in brackets) of new cases recorded in the seven days to April 4.

Bedlam's 2:30 kick on ABC will be officiated by an experienced broadcast crew. Steve Levy and Brian Griese will be on the call in the booth from Norman, and Todd McShay will work sidelines.
McShay is on hand presumably to double dip as both a sideline host and as a talent evaluator, given his vast knowledge and experience projecting the NFL Draft with ESPN. Watching him try to keep his Bedlam running backs in a row may be the most fascinating, underrated storyline to watch.
You can watch the game on ABC or stream it at WatchESPN.com.
If radio is more your preference (or only option), the Cowboy Radio Network station directory can be found here. You can also stream the feed using the TuneIn Radio app for free. The radio broadcast will consist of an experienced crew of Dave Hunziker, John Holcolmb and Robert Allen.

Q: Java calling a subclass method When i try to create an instance of a class and add this to my arraylist i can't call methods defined in the child.
How do i make this work?
List class:
import java.util.*;
public class List {
  private ArrayList<Person> persons;
  public List(){
    persons = new ArrayList<Person>();
  }
  public void addAssistant(){
    Person person = new Assistant();
    persons.add(person);
    if(person instanceof Assistant){
      person.assist();
    }
  }
}

Person class:
public class Person {
  public Person(){}
}

Assistant class:
public class Assistant extends Person {
  public Assistant(){}
  public void assist(){
     System.out.println("I am assisting!");
  }
}

Compiler:
line: person.assist(); within the addAssistant() method in the List class.
Compiler error:
The compiler cannot find symbol - method assist().

A: You need an explicit cast:
if(person instanceof Assistant){
  ((Assistant)person).assist();
}

However, I think this type of logic should generally be discouraged.

A: You have to cast your Person into an Assistant like this:
if(person instanceof Assistant){
  ((Assistant)person).assist();
}

This type of casting howerver is an indication of flawed application design I think.
Just a sidenote:
You should use interfaces instead of concrete implementations. So you should replace this:
private ArrayList<Person> persons;

with this:
private List<Person> persons;

If you want your Persons to do their specific work and an Assistants work is assisting than you can work around this by creating an abstract method in Person
public abstract void doYourWork();

and you can implement that in Assistant:
@Override
public void doYourWork(){
    // doing something
}

In this case you don't have to explicitly cast your Person objects.
If Person ain't going to have any concrete implementations you can make it an interface instead.

A: You need to make a cast for use a subclass method
if(person instanceof Assistant){
  ((Assistant)person).assist();
}

A: Person class does not have assist method defined so you must explicitly cast to Assistant class e.g.
if(person instanceof Assistant){
  ((Assistant)person).assist();
}

A: I would code it this way
public void addAssistant(){
    Assistant assistant = new Assistant();
    assistant.add(person);
    assistant.assist();
}

There is no point in abstracting yourself from the knowledge that your recently created object is in fact an Assistant.
Abstracting yourself from the concrete type is a good way of reduce coupling between two pieces of code and it is necessary for doing nice things like polymorphism... but in this particular example you are showing us you are already tightly coupled to an Assistant (in fact you are instantiating it just two lines above).
Another possible way to implement this is to use polymorphism, you can do that by adding the assist() method to the interface of your Person.
public class Person {
  public Person(){}

  public void assist() {
     //I'm a just a person who doesn't assist anywhere
  }
}

By doing so you are going to be able to do what you were trying:
public void addAssistant(){
    Person person = new Assistant();
    persons.add(person);
    person.assist();
}

However I wouldn't recommend that, mostly because you will start filling your Person interface with responsibilities that are not correctly placed there. It's all matter of design, you need to choose the better (and of course, the most confortable) solution for your particular problem.
Good Luck
Claudio

A: The way Java language has been designed, this doesn't compile (as you've figured it out as well). Think of it this way, all assistants are persons, but not all persons are assistants. If you use an explicit cast, you can do what you want to achieve (as NPE mentioned in his answer).
