Spotlight shines harder on Konecny, Provorov now
@davegisaac
NEWARK — Ivan Provorov got to wear his souvenir home.
It's a brush burn on the right side of his chin, compliments of one of the New Jersey Devils' sticks.
T.J.'s TALES: From a fan to employee
"It's nothing," he said. "It's hockey."
When he got it could be a little fuzzy, because in the Flyers' preseason opener Provorov played nearly half of the game. In a 2-0 loss to the Devils, the 2015 first-round pick logged a game-high 28 minutes, 48 seconds.
"There was no number in mind," Flyers coach Dave Hakstol said. "You don't want somebody playing 27, 28 minutes on night No. 1. He was doing a good job. There was specialty teams situations and with those, the minutes add up."
And they're OK with that, because now is about when the real evaluation starts. Drills in practice tell little. It's the games that count and the Flyers' top two prospects — Provorov and right wing Travis Konecny — were given ample opportunity to show what they've got.
FLYERS MAILBAG: How camp shapes roster
"You get more information starting (Monday) with the games," Hakstol said. "It's a split squad and we have a lot of young players that are in the lineups. Every bit of information is real, but game information is really valuable when you're trying to evaluate where people are at."
And although Hakstol warned not to "connect the dots," it's likely no coincidence that while there was another split-squad game happening in Brooklyn against the Islanders this was the game that Hakstol, general manager Ron Hextall and team president Paul Holmgren chose to attend.
"I want to see a lot of players, but it's only realistic," Hakstol said. "Not all 60 players have an opportunity to make our team this year, but information on all of them is important and we do have a lot of competition."
ON THE RISE: Voorhees' Primeau ready for big year
Konecny played on the top line with center Andy Miele, the Hobey Baker winner in 2011, and Scott Laughton. While Miele seems destined for the Lehigh Valley Phantoms and Laughton likely to stick with the Flyers, Konecny knows that the spotlight was already on him before and it just got brighter with exhibition play beginning.
"It's a different game. It's not the same game as last year," said Konecny, who had two points in two preseason games last year. "Me and Provorov were just talking. We feel a lot more comfortable this year. Even though I thought I played well last year, I think I made mistakes and I can improve on a lot of things. Hopefully this year I can turn it around and play a lot better."
And stick with the big club. Provorov is hoping for the same thing. With the swollen wound to show for his first preseason game this year, he thinks he'll get more comfortable the more he gets in there. Hakstol said that both Provorov and Konecny would play in one of the next two games. Tuesday they'll face the Islanders in Philadelphia and Wednesday they'll take on the Devils in Allentown, Pa. at the Phantoms' PPL Center.
"It will take me a few games to adjust but I felt well," Provorov said. "I had a great summer. I feel great."
Lyon shines in pro debut
The best player for the Flyers was goalie Alex Lyon, who made his pro debut. A free-agent signee out of Yale late last season, the Minnesota native made 28 saves on 29 shots.
He was tested early and often. When the Flyers were awarded a power play 10 seconds into the game, they had to deal with Beau Bennett darting out of the penalty box and Lyon made the save on his first of two breakaways.
"When the game started I felt like a newborn deer," Lyon said. "I could barely stand up I was so nervous. It felt good to stop that first one and get a little confidence."
"Solid performance right from start to finish," Hakstol said of his goalie. "Great demeanor and presence all the way through."
Lyon figures to be with the Phantoms this season.
"I'm pretty excited to go call my mom right now," he said after the game. "I know if I don't call her before I get on the bus she'll probably come drive out here and punch me."
Meanwhile in Brooklyn
A few zip codes away, the Flyers were also shut out. They lost to the Islanders 3-0 at Barclays Center where the home team notched all the goals in the final stanza.
Nick Cousins fought twice, first Ryan Strome, then Shane Prince. Goalie Anthony Stolarz, who will be Lyon's goalie partner in Lehigh Valley, allowed two goals on 35 shots. The final tally for the Islanders was on an empty net.
Loose Pucks
All four of the Flyers who have been eliminated from the World Cup — Jake Voracek, Michal Neuvirth, Sean Couturier and Shayne Gostisbehere — have returned and skated for about 40 minutes Monday morning in Voorhees. None will play until at least Saturday. … In the Newark game the Flyers went 0-for-7 on the power play, but haven't gone over special teams yet in training camp. … With him not figuring into either game Monday, there's a good chance Steve Mason gets the start Tuesday against the Islanders at Wells Fargo Center.

Who is Kurt Vonnegut?
Kurt Vonnegut was one of the most influential American novelists of the 20th century who brought about a phenomenal distinction in literature. Instead of sticking to a particular genre, he diversified his work blending unthinkable categories such as science fiction with humor, social commentary with absurdity and so on. His work was filled with unusual characters that had a feel of realism in them such as the Tralfamadorians in 'Slaughterhouse-Five'. It was due to his unique writing style that he became a literary icon and had a huge fan following. During his lifetime, he came up with various works including, 'Cat's Cradle', 'Slaughterhouse-Five' and 'Breakfast of Champions'. His works depicted his ability to mix satire with humor, and science fiction. Other than writing, he was an established graphic artist and known for coming up with illustrated works. He was also active politically and was a lifetime member of the American Civil Liberties Union. Furthermore, he was famous for his humanist beliefs and served as the honorary president of the American Humanist Association. To know more about his life and works, read through the following lines.

Kurt Vonnegut was one of the three children born to Kurt Vonnegut, Sr., and Edith. He had a brother Bernard and a sister, Alice. His parents had a German American ancestry.
Academically proficient, he completed his preliminary education from Shortridge High School in Indianapolis in 1940. Thereafter, he went to Cornell University, where he majored in Chemistry.
It was while at the university that he served as the Assistant Managing Editor and Associate Editor of The Cornell Daily Sun. He also became a member of the Delta Upsilon Fraternity.
Later on, he conscripted himself in the United States Army. During his years of service, he was transferred to the Carnegie Institute of Technology and the University of Tennessee to study mechanical engineering.
Post completing his studies, he served in Europe as a part of the 423rd Infantry Regiment and 106th Infantry Division, fighting the Battle of Bulge. While serving, he was captured and imprisoned.
He was a witness to the firebombing which took place in Dresden in February 1945, disrupting the entire city. Luckily for him, he was one amongst the few prisoners of war who survived the attack
Post war, he enrolled at the University of Chicago to study anthropology. Meanwhile, he also took up work at the City News Bureau of Chicago. However, he did not continue the same for long and left it to join as a public relations officer for General Electric.
He doubled up as a technical writer for GE and was known for giving much of himself into the work. In his free time, he volunteered as a fire-fighter in the Alplaus Volunteer Fire Department.
In addition to this, he wrote many of his short stories during this time. His first ever short story published was 'Report on the Barnhouse Effect' on February 11, 1950, in the edition of Collier's. the story was later reprinted in the short story collection, Welcome to the Monkey House.
Two years later, he came up with his debut novel, 'Player Piano'. The work was one-of-its-kind as it revolved around the story wherein human workers were replaced by machine. Post its publication, he penned numerous short stories.
Meanwhile, he briefly took up work at the Sports Illustrated magazine. He was assigned to write a piece on a racehorse that had jumped off a fence and attempted to run away.
In 1959, he came up with his second novel, 'The Sirens of Titan'. Strangely, he was on the verge of giving up on writing when he was offered the position of a teacher at the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop.
While working as a teacher, he penned the novel, 'Cat's Cradle' which went on to become a bestseller. The novel had a relatively orthodox feel to it much unlike his latter works for which he changed the writing style. It also earned him his M.A. degree in 1971 for its anthropological content
Post the success of his latest novel, he penned yet another work titled, 'Slaughterhouse-Five'. Autobiographical in nature, the work was highly acclaimed for its content. Unlike his previous novels, it had an experimental structure and used time travel as a plot device.
'Slaughterhouse-Five' went on to become one of the best American novels of the 20th century. It later appeared in the 100 best lists of Time magazine and the Modern Library.
In 1973, he came up with the novel, 'Breakfast of Champions' which went on to become one of his bestselling novels. It included rough illustrations and lengthy non-sequiturs. Furthermore, it had him make an appearance as a deus ex machine.
Interestingly in 1974, a novel written by Philip Jose Farmer, titled, 'Venus on the Half Shell' reportedly was mistaken for Vonnegut work as it was styled on the same lines as the latter's works.
What made his novels widely read, accepted and positively reviewed was the fact that they contained realism to them despite being centred on deep imagination and cynicism. Furthermore, he explored the theme of humanism. He infused irony and simplicity to his lengthy punctuated sentences.
In 1979, he came up with the work, 'Jailbird' which was followed by yet another autobiographical work, 'Palm Sunday: An Autobiographical Collage' in 1981. The following year, he penned his next novel titled, 'Deadeye Dick'.
In later years, he came up with his final novel, 'Timequake'. Though the novel received mixed reviews by the readers and the critics alike, it went on to garner the bestselling status.
He then turned to writing non-fiction. In the genre, he came up with his first and last book, which was a collection of biographical essays titled, 'A Man Without a Country'. The book contained his personal views on politics and art and gave insights about his own life.
Apart from writing, he also served as lecturer in English at the Harvard University and the City College of New York, where he was a Distinguished Professor.
After returning from World War II, he tied the nuptial knot with his childhood sweetheart, Jane Marie Cox. The couple lived at Barnstable Massachusetts. They were blessed with three children
The relationship did not last long and the two separated in 1970. Same year, he began living in with a photographer, Jill Kremetz.
He was legally divorced from his first wife in 1979. He eventually married Kremetz.
In his life, he raised seven children - three from his first wife, three children of his sister Alice and an adopted child with Kremetz.
He breathed his last on April 11, 2007 due to head injuries which he sustained due to accidentally falling from a flight of stairs at his home in New York.
Posthumously, the April 2008 issue of Playboy contained the first excerpts from Armageddon in Retrospect, his first subsequent collection of work. Same month, the book was published and included the unpublished short stories and a letter that he had written while serving the Army during World War II. Additionally, the book contained some of his art work and a speech that he wrote shortly before his death.
An asteroid was named in his honor in 1999, titled, 25399 Vonnegut
This acclaimed writer was considering abandoning writing altogether and taking a teaching job instead, when ''Cat's Cradle' became a best-seller.

A long-awaited summit between US President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin will take place in Helsinki on July 16, the Kremlin and the White House said in simultaneous statements today.
"An agreement has been reached that on July 16 in Helsinki there will be a meeting between the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin and the President of the United States Donald Trump," the Kremlin said.
The talks will see the two leaders discuss "the current state and prospects for development of Russian-US relations," according to the release.
A statement from the White House said the men would also broach "a range of national security issues".
Trump's national security advisor John Bolton met Putin in Moscow on Wednesday. The two discussed the details of the first full summit between the presidents.
US-Russian relations have hit lows not seen since the Cold War over Moscow's annexation of Crimea, its involvement in eastern Ukraine and allegations of political meddling, as well as disagreement over the Syrian conflict.
Trump said this month that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7 group of industrialised democracies from which it was suspended after annexing Crimea in 2014.
Trump is due to attend the July 11 and 12 NATO summit in Brussels before heading to Britain to meet with Prime Minister Theresa May and Queen Elizabeth II on July 13.


The Chicago Bears swept to their first NFC North title since 2001 last week and they did it in the best way possible beating old rivals Green Bay Packers in Wisconsin 24-17 on Christmas Day.
Yesterday the Bears could afford to rest a number of their best players, with the semi-final play-off berth already secured. They lost to the Minnesota Vikings 34-10 but it didn't matter as they ended the regular season 11-4.
Winning the NFC North means that they avoid the first round of the Play-Offs, which start next week. In a very confusing system, the Bears will play either Tampa Bay Buccaneers if they win their play-off game against Washington Redskins or the victors of the New York Giants and Carolina Panthers match up.

Brits Continue Their Love Affair with the Package Holiday
ABTA has revealed in a recent study into UK consumers' travel habits that package holidays continue to "dominate" the UK overseas holiday market.
The study, which examines changing trends over the last four decades, found that packages still account for half of all holidays, despite the emergence of other types of travel.
Mark Tanzer, ABTA Chief Executive Officer, also suggested that we could foresee a rise in the number of package holidays in 2019, thanks to the recent introduction of the package travel regulations (PTRs).
"The UK continues to be a nation in love with the foreign holiday as tens of millions of people head abroad each year, and package holidays still dominate a large proportion of the travel market," said Tanzer.
"With the introduction of the new PTRs last year, more travel arrangements this summer are likely to be package holidays - offering customers the best form of protection."
Changing Preferences
The report also noted, however, that the type of trip, destination and how consumers holiday has changed significantly, and travel companies have taken note by responding to holidaymakers' changing preferences. More and more travel companies are now offering packages that include tailor-made trips, tours that take people off the beaten track, adventure holidays, river and ocean cruises, well-being breaks and all-inclusives.
Furthermore, while in the past many travellers chose to book a holiday based on where their friends or family had previously visited, now the focus is on finding resorts/ destinations that are less popular and more unusual. Similarly, it would appear that Brits are no longer attracted to the idea of picking a "home-from-home" destination - Britain with nicer weather - but are instead opting for more "authentic" experiences which embrace the local culture.
In terms of destinations, the report found that while the number of visits to traditional package destinations such as Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, Greece, Cyprus and Malta remain strong, the modern traveller is also willing to go further afield.
Mexico, for example, has seen a 3,500% increase in UK holidaymakers since 1994 as increased capacity in the airline industry and more fuel-efficient aircrafts make long-haul flights more manageable for modern travellers.
Tanzer added: "Holidaymakers' tastes are continually evolving, and the travel industry is adapting to the changing demands of customers; whether you want a two-week cruise around the Caribbean, a cultural city break to Cadiz, a tailor-made trip to Mexico or seven days in the Costa del Sol, all of these options can be provided via a package holiday."
Do You Have the Technology in Place?
Are you an agent looking for the tools to dynamically combine multiple travel services to create the perfect package holiday? Then look no further than Traveltek's award-winning reservation platform, iSell. Having retained the title of the World's Leading Dynamic Packaging Solutions Provider for the last 5 years, we are experts in this field and have the technology in place to transform your businesses.

Just picked up a couple of kits I ordered from LOC yesterday. Pulled the Minie Magg out and thought wow, that's a big rocket! Then I opened up the Hyperloc 1600 and thought maybe that could be a little over the top. Almost 9' long, it's going to take some serious power to send it skyward. I'll be posting some build photos in the next week or so. This is going to be some serious fun!
Ok, starting construction. Really like the Minie Magg, it's amazing the range of motors it can fly on. As for the Hyperloc, I'm going to have to rethink my launch pad!
That is big. I really like the big ones, the bigger the better. Love to see a launch video of the two when you get 'em done.
The Hyperloc is ready to shoot some color and the Minni Magg has a little detail painting left. Great kits.
Good lord, they didn't look THAT big until you put those guys next to 'em. Been shootin rockets off for 15 years, but the biggest one was an Aerotech Initiator and/or the ever-so-popular Big Bertha. Not so big compared to those. I bet its really something seeing those things launch. Im getting out of RC trucks and lookin to pick up on something else. This just might be the ticket although finding somewhere to shoot those whoppers off might be somewhat troublesome.
If you're having trouble finding a large field, take a look at the LOC Minni Magg. That's the short silver rocket in the picture. You can fly it on high power motors, but still can use G motors where space is limited. Gets to about 500' on the G.
Does the Minni Magg just use an ejection charge from the motor, like smaller estes engines, or does it require some sort of electronics? If its just an ejection charge, that would be a good one to start out with.
No electronics required, but you would need to supplement the black powder charge given the large volume of the rocket.
I want to say this is also another kind of scenery.
Spam artist at work, seems more and more threads end up with a lame plea to buy digital photo frames..
Here is my LOC king viper flown at LDRS a couple years ago. 15 ponds 5.5 inch diameter, 9 ft tall. Next year LDRS will be in MD do I am working on a LOC mother Load. Same style of rocket but bigger 12' tall 7 inch diameter. I have a great relation with the folks at LOC Barry did a good job keeping the oldest surviving high power kit manufacturer alive.


I decided to take a crack at playing with some apple products in adobe. This is what I think will most likely be the next step for the iMac form factor.
Anyone else think this is likely?
I think that's what Apple had hoped for initially. The only concern is whether or not Apple would have to sacrifice the size/performance of other components, like the hard drive or the graphics chipset.
Personally, I like the "chin" on the current iMac.
What I would love to have is for the next iMac to look like the Cinema Displays. Aluminum with a thin bezel would be really nice.
The cinema displays are nice and I thought about the likely hood of apple doing that but I think Apple likes to have a differentation between there pro products and their consumer products. Currently the metal is pro and the white/black plastic is consumer.
Give it a white plastic front and a stainless steel back like the iPods. Yummy!
I thought about that as well but it proved to be much more difficult to do lol I agree though that would be hot.
I think you design is perfect and what they're working towards but I think it'll take them a while to get there.
Currently the metal is pro and the white/black plastic is consumer.
With the Mac mini as the obvious exception.
I like the chin too, I see no reason for Apple to do away with it. From a design standpoint I think it helps to remind people that there's a computer in there; it adds a little substance to the design. And it's also a great place for 'post it' notes!
You could be right about where Apple is going though. Powerbooks and iBooks, iPods, and even the mini, have been studiously pared down to only the very essential interface bits. Yet I still think a good design should give you something. The iMac is already pretty spare.
dammit, i got beat with the 'post it' note angle. kudos to u matsu.
And it's also a great place for 'post it' notes!
Is there something wrong with you Matsu? I mean really. Putting Post-It notes on your Mac?
can you try a new version of the 20th anniversary mac.
Put isight, side speakers, stand, etc... in the pic too. that is where apple should spend there time I think.
They've got to find a better way to allow access to USB ports and such.
2 processors (dual or not)?
that would be a monster mac!
Abso-friggin-lutely! This is really beginning to tick me off!
We have discussed this one previously. I think a 23" model is inevitable once the 23" panels hit the appropriate price point. Next year perhaps. As for multiple processors, the Core Duo ones can go even in the 15" Powerbook form factor. The upcoming Merom processor (also dual core) should perform even better in the same power envelope.
Unfortunately there arent much room for anything except the screen..
If the keyboard was a USB2 hub, would that work for you?

La riverberazione in mare , fenomeno che accompagna le emissioni acustiche del sonar
generate per l'illuminazione impulsiva dei bersagli è caratterizzata da tre tipi
particolari:

-di volume

-di superficie

-di fondo

che si manifestano, sia isolatamente, sia contemporaneamente in dipendenza delle caratteristiche dell'ambiente subacqueo.

La riverberazione, in alcuni casi, può ostacolare la scoperta sonar in modalità attiva in quanto può coprire l'eco dei bersagli.

Riverberazione di volume

Lo svolgersi del fenomeno

La riverberazione di volume in mare, che si manifesta più frequentemente delle altre, è oggetto di buone valutazioni quantitative dipendenti da una ampia fascia di variabili; il fenomeno si genera per la riflessione di piccolissime particelle, in sospensione in mare, che sono colpite dall'impulso emesso dal sonar.

Lo sviluppo della riverberazione di volume, tracciato in figura, si descrive in tre fasi:

-l'emissione dell'impulso del sonar

-la comparsa di una porzione dell'energia acustica (RLv ) riflessa dall'ambiente che la riverbera; prima giunge la riverberazione del volume d'acqua investito dall'impulso, successivamente le altre

-la comparsa dell'eco  del bersaglio sulla riverberazione.

Variabili in gioco

Variabili e loro significato:

-RLv- esprime il livello del rumore di riverberazione di volume che colpisce la base del sonar. Questa variabile acustica, espressa in  , è frutto di una computazione

-SL - indica il livello di pressione acustica generato durante l'emissione dell'impulso da parte del sonar; caratteristica dell'apparato espressa in

-R - è la variabile indipendente che indica la lunghezza del percorso dei raggi acustici in mare; la distanza tra il sonar e il volume riverberante espressa in metri

- - è il coefficiente d'assorbimento dell'acqua espresso in

-Sv - è il coefficiente del riverbero di volume, espresso in , questo valore, dipendente da fattori ambientali marini, è il più significativo da mettere a calcolo per la determinazione di RLv; numerosissime serie di valori di Sv sono state rilevati sul campo mediante impegnative campagne di misura nelle più diverse condizioni, così come riportato nel testo di Urick

-c - velocità media del suono in acqua, circa .

-t - durata dell'impulso di emissione del sonar espressa in secondi

-- l'angolo solido (in steradianti) che, in virtù delle dimensioni del trasduttore di emissione del sonar, sottende il volume d'acqua V sollecitato dall'energia acustica.

Per l'angolo solido in oggetto sono disponibili alcune tabelle nelle quali, in dipendenza della forma del trasduttore di emissione, è possibile, con alcune approssimazioni, identificare l'espressione relativa alla forma del trasduttore più vicina a quella del sonar in esame

-V - volume d'acqua coagente con l'impulso d'emissione

Esplicitazione per il calcolo
Il calcolo dell'andamento di , in funzione della distanza, espresso in , si esegue applicando la formula:

per  l'espressione del volume del mare coagente con l'impulso:

Da un primo esame dell'espressione si evince che RLv:

-s'incrementa con l'aumento del livello (SL) di emissione

-si riduce con l'aumento della distanza (R)

-aumenta con l'aumentare del coefficiente di riverbero (Sv)

-aumenta con l'aumentare della durata (t) dell'impulso

-aumenta con l'incremento del valore dell'angolo solido

Valutazione numerica del fenomeno

Dati di base
La valutazione numerica del fenomeno si basa su una serie di valori di Sv e di    esposti nel testo di Urick in bibliografia:

-Per Sv il testo mostra un diagramma relativo a rilievi effettuati tra le Hawaii e la California;
a due frequenze di emissione, di giorno e di notte, a diverse profondità

-Per  è data una tabella che ne riporta i valori per alcune forme geometriche del trasduttore è consultabile su

Valutazione

Calcolo è presentazione grafica di RLv con l'algoritmo:

in funzione della distanza  e secondo le variabili:

- Frequenza d'emissione :

- Velocità del suono:

- Trasduttore cilindrico di emissione/ricezione :

- Livello di emissione del sonar:

- Coefficiente d'assorbimento :

- Durata dell'impulso di emissione:   .

- Variabilità della distanza di calcolo: da

- Valore del coefficiente di riverbero Sv:
dal grafico, a titolo d'esempio per     , rilievi notturni e profondità di circa
si assume

- Per la funzione  se ipotizziamo che il trasduttore cilindrico di emissione/ricezione si possa assimilare, ragionevolmente, ad un trasduttore equivalente a superficie quadrata pari alla sezione verticale del cilindro, possiamo contare su di una superficie di  x

In base a questo dato, dalla tabella su Urick, possiamo assumere il valore di
.

La curva di  in funzione di  è mostrata in figura dalla quale si vede come il rumore dovuto alla riverberazione di volume, ricevuto dal sonar,
inizi subito dopo l'emissione dell'impulso con valori molto elevati per poi decrescere nel tempo
con la distanza fino a ridursi a circa

L'esame della figura non fornisce elementi significativi che consentano di avere un'idea
immediata dell'effetto che la riverberazione stessa può avere durante la ricezione dell'eco di un
bersaglio; per ottenere informazioni in tal senso si deve procedere alla comparazione del grafico
di figura con altra curva relativa al comportamento dell'ampiezza dell'eco.

Comparazione eco-riverberazione

L'effetto della riverberazione sulla ricezione dell'eco è reso evidente attraverso
la comparazione dell'andamento della prima con l'ampiezza dell'eco del bersaglio; per far
ciò e necessario impostare l'equazione del sonar attivo sotto le caratteristiche di emissione
già indicate nella terza sezione con l'aggiunta della forza del bersaglio  (valore liberamente scelto per ottimizzare il risultato grafico dell'esercizio) utilizzando per il calcolo dell'ampiezza dell'eco     l'equazione :

Dalla figura si osserva che un bersaglio con  , in questo specifico esempio, produce un'eco sempre superiore al livello di riverberazione.

Q: nhibernate NamedQuery from criteriaQuery -->  help needed I am trying to convert a working criteria query into a named query, and not getting the syntax right. The hql version apparently wants both the type and id params specified.
The query is over a class mapped with ANY (below also)
Can someone give me a hand getting the syntax right?
Cheers,
Berryl
WORKING criteria query
    result = _session
        .CreateCriteria<Allocation>()
        .Add(Restrictions.Eq(propName_Resource, resource))
        .Add(Restrictions.Between(propName_StartTime, (DateTime)searchRange.Start, (DateTime)searchRange.End))
        .AddOrder(Order.Asc(propName_StartTime))
        .List<Allocation>();

                produces
SELECT this_.AllocationId as Allocati1_2_0_, this_.ResourceType as Resource2_2_0_, this_.ResourceId as ResourceId2_0_, this_.ActivityType as Activity4_2_0_,

The ANY Mapping (which WORKS!)
<any name="Resource" cascade="all" id-type="System.Int32" meta-type="System.String"

UPDATE
this combination executes but gives the wrong answer. can't tell if it is closer or further from what I need yet
          select a
          from Allocation a
          where a.Resource.class = :class and a.Resource.id = :id
            and a.TimeRange.StartTime between :periodStart and :periodEnd
          order by a.TimeRange.StartTime

        return _session.GetNamedQuery("FetchByResourceForDateRange")
            .SetString("class", typeof(Resource).FullName)
            .SetInt32("id", resource.Id)
            .SetDateTime("periodStart", searchRange.Start)
            .SetDateTime("periodEnd", searchRange.End)
            .List<Allocation>();

A: Ok, per Fabio Maulo, lead dev on NHib:
"You have to use your meta-data values not the typeof(entity).FullName"
So in my case the following made the last hql I had work:
return _session.GetNamedQuery("FetchByResourceForDateRange")
        .SetString("class", "EMPLOYEE")
        .SetInt32("id", resource.Id)
        .SetDateTime("periodStart", searchRange.Start)
        .SetDateTime("periodEnd", searchRange.End)
        .List<Allocation>();

A bit uglier than I would have hoped but I'll take it :--)
HTH,

Hillary Snivels Through Reading Of Her 2016 "Victory Speech"
Senate Vote Blocks Biden Vaccine Mandate For Private Companies
Is Anyone Shocked That California Plans to Be A Sanctuary State For Slaughter?
by Nina Bookout in politics 2 Comments
The Senate, with the assistance of two Democrat Senators, voted last night to block Joe Biden's vaccine mandate for private companies.
WASHINGTON—The Senate approved legislation aimed at nullifying President Biden's vaccine-or-test mandate for private employers, marking a significant bipartisan rebuke even if lawmakers ultimately fall short of stopping the new Covid-19 rule.
The measure passed 52-48.
Ahead of the vote, two Democrats—Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Jon Tester of Montana—announced their support, ensuring the measure would pass the 50-50 Senate.
The legislation was filed under the Congressional Review Act, which allows the Senate to vote to overturn rules for a federal agency with a simple majority rather than the 60 votes required for most legislation. The bill would still have to pass the House and overcome a presidential veto.
This is yet another defeat over government overreach into private industry and business. The Biden vaccine mandate via OSHA has been slapped down now by the 5th Circuit, the 6th Circuit and more.
Just In: A U.S. district court has halted President Biden's vaccine mandate for federal contractors, writing that the president likely exceeded his authority. https://t.co/ymArFncMMK
— NBC4 Washington (@nbcwashington) December 7, 2021
Oh it's quite the ruling!
Accordingly, the Court ORDERS that Defendants are ENJOINED, during the pendency of this action or until further order of this Court, from enforcing the vaccine mandate for federal contractors and subcontractors in all covered contracts in any state or territory of the United States of America.
~Snip
The Court finds that Plaintiffs have a likelihood of proving that Congress, through the language it used, did not clearly authorize the President to issue the kind of mandate contained in EO 14042, as EO 14042 goes far beyond addressing administrative and management issues in order to promote efficiency and economy in procurement and contracting, and instead, in application, works as a regulation of public health, which is not clearly authorized under the Procurement Act.
Which led OSHA to quietly saying, umm guess we can't do this after all.
Of course, all the usual suspects are out in front wailing that, 'we are all gonna die from Covid if no mandate is in place!'
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) said the move would go against science. "The worst thing we can do is tie our own hands behind our backs and let these new variants spread and grow," he said on the Senate floor.
Let's have vaccine mandates in order to 'protect us from ourselves!'
Sen. Patty Murray, a Washington Democrat, called the GOP-led resolution "dangerous" and said it would undermine the administration's efforts to eradicate the vaccine.
"We should be using every tool to protect our country, the economy, and our families," Murray said.
You know what? We ARE. We are using common sense, following the health guidelines of washing hand, keeping things clean, exercising, and more. But here we have a government that is telling us, no DEMANDING that we bow down to this mandate and life will be wonderful once again.
But, look around you. New York City, courtesy of de Blasio, has just instituted yet another vaccine mandate.
*NEW* Mayor Bill de Blasio announces on MSNBC that New York City is setting a vaccine mandate for ALL private sector employers on Dec. 27. He calls it a "pre-emptive strike" on Omicron and winter virus challenges.
— Emma G. Fitzsimmons (@emmagf) December 6, 2021
We are facing a MAJOR worker shortage right now. Businesses are BEGGING for people to not only apply, but to SHOW UP FOR WORK!
Except that we have both federal agencies and private companies mandating the vaccines and booster WHILE ignoring the very natural immunities conveyed when someone has had Covid and conquered it. Covid immunity according to those agencies and companies along with troll Fauci et al is NOT a thing. It doesn't matter to their mandates, get the vaccine or get fired.
Which is a problem. Even Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan recognizes this.
"I know if that mandate happens, we're going to lose state employees," the governor continued. "That's why I haven't proposed a (state) mandate. We have a lot of the same concerns…it's going to be a problem for all of us."
The government should not be telling private entities what to do. The GOP gets this.
The Democrats want MORE power and are refusing to acknowledge that people have complied, we've masked up, we've sanitized the hell out of everything, we've harmed our kids by keeping them from living life, and our Constitution has been tossed aside.
Our government has NO business intruding on private business or private lives. People and politicians are finally realizing that. A private business can make its OWN decision as to how to handle the virus, vaccines, employees …and keep the business afloat.
Somehow, someway, ALL private businesses managed to do just that in 2020 when the virus was all over the place and yet there was no vaccine.
People are getting fed up. And there are politicians who are finally recognizing that, which led to yesterday's Senate vote.
Tonight, the Senate voted to overturn President Biden's vaccine mandate for private businesses.
This bipartisan vote is a crystal clear message to the @WhiteHouse: Back off, and stop this crazy federal overreach immediately.
— Senator Mike Braun (@SenatorBraun) December 9, 2021
Does this mean a win? NO. Why? Because this same legislation has to make it through the House. Which, unless enough people put the pressure on their Representatives, this legislation will fail.
The LARGER point is this, the courts are and have been blocking the Biden vaccine mandate on private companies. The Senate has followed suit. If it gets blocked in the House, then we'll all understand that the Democrats have never been about We The People. Instead, they are all about POWER.

Here in Florida, Kelly Services, a temp agency, will cooperate with employers that demand 100% fauxination among new hires. That is in violation of FL state law. Anyone want to clue-by-four them, be my guest.

Frank Rich Rehashes False Racism Smear Against Governor Palin
It's hard to imagine many things that are more damaging to the reputation of a public figure, especially one in the political arena, than to be thought of as a racist or bigot. This is why the left accuses conservatives and Republicans of racism all day and every day. It's political thuggery at it worst, as it's a way of trying to intimidate your political opponents into silence. The latest in this disgraceful exercise was none other than Frank Rich, the Harvard educated former theater critic turned left-wing political writer. If you look up smug, sanctimonious, left-wing elitist snob in the dictionary, you see a picture of Frank Rich. The gist of his piece is that he says Republicans are racists and they have been for decades. Kevin Williamson at National Review Online has a masterful rebuttal of Rich's intellectual dishonesty here.
In just the second paragraph of Rich's diatribe, he brings up Governor Palin as "proof" the GOP is at best insensitive when it comes to race. As a member in good standing with the East Coast left-wing elite, Rich really, really, really doesn't like Governor Palin. I know. You're as shocked as I am about this fact. Anyway, he brings up a discredited smear from last year to bolster his point.
You're told that Newt Gingrich calling Barack Obama "the food-stamp president" and Sarah Palin's invocation of "shuck and jive?" were just ephemeral campaign-season gaffes from sideshow clowns soon to get the hook.
As a refresher, this was a comment Governor Palin made last October in response to the Obama administration stonewalling and flat out lying about the Benghazi attacks. The left immediately pounced on the shuck and jive comments as another one of those racist dog whistles conservative use to rally their base. Isn't it interesting that the only people who ever hear these dog whistles are leftists? Maybe they are the real racists. Hmmmm.
Unlike some on the right who may have apologized after being accused of racism by the left, Governor Palin stood her ground, went on offense, and exposed these leftists for the hypocritical smear merchants they are. She exposed Andrew Cuomo, Jay Carney, and Chris Matthews, who is Ron Burgundy, only not nearly as smart and without the 'stache. Here is the first paragraph from a Facebook post later that evening in response to the racism charges.
For the record, there was nothing remotely racist in my use of the phrase "shuck and jive" – a phrase which many people have used, including Chris Matthews, Andrew Cuomo, and White House Press Secretary Jay Carney to name a few off the top of my head. In fact, Andrew Cuomo also used the phrase in reference to Barack Obama, and the fact that Mr. Cuomo and I used the phrase in relation to President Obama signifies nothing out of the ordinary. I would have used the exact same expression if I had been writing about President Carter, whose foreign policy rivaled Obama's in its ineptitude, or about the Nixon administration, which was also famously rocked by a cover-up.
First of all, Governor Palin's response to these lies is a lesson on how every conservative should respond when accused of racism by a lib. Go on offense and throw it right back in their face. Never apologize if you have done nothing wrong. Second, this shows the depths to which libs will go to try and silence conservatives and shut out honest debate. They tried out an attack that was based on lies, were caught red-handed in their lies, yet they still use this as a line of attack against her. Frank Rich is not the first leftist to use this phony racism attack against her based on that line she used back in October. In fact, it has been used many times, and leftists talk about it as if it's already been established as truth she made a racist comment. Accusations of racism is truly the last refuge of leftist scoundrels.
We all know the saying that a lie runs halfway around the world before the truth even puts his shoes on. False accusations seem to travel even faster. As conservatives, we must always be ready for this line of attack, see it when it comes, and then go on offense and shove those accusations right back in their face.

Leadoff hitter Fox Semones (James Madison) scored three runs in the win over Loudoun.
On a beautiful evening for baseball at Rock Ridge High School in Ashburn, Virginia, Big Train (3-0) cruised to a 17-2 win over the Loudoun Riverdogs (0-2) to extend its perfect start to the 2018 season.
Starting pitcher Carlos Lomeli (St. Mary's College) enjoyed a successful Big Train debut, tossing five scoreless innings and allowing just one hit. "Carlos was outstanding," Big Train manager Sal Colangelo said. "He threw three pitches for a strike, and mixed well, and hit his spots when needed." Colangelo also noted that due to the team's depth at pitcher this season, there was no reason to have Lomeli pitch more than five innings despite his success.
Bethesda got its offense going early in the contest, as rightfelder Jacob Westerman (University of San Francisco) drove in short stop Fox Semones (James Madison) in the top of the first to open the scoring. Semones picked up an RBI of his own an inning later when he drove in second baseman Tyler Reis (Waynesburg) to extend the lead to 2-0.
The theme of getting on base was never truer than in the late innings, when 10 Bethesda runs crossed the plate, all on non-hit plays. After loading the bases in the sixth, Big Train manufactured three runs via a hit batter, a walk and a fielder's choice to go up 10-0.
Jamarian Crane provided Loudoun's first run with a solo homer in the sixth, but Bethesda added another three runs in the seventh with no hits in the inning.
Bethesda put its leadoff man on base in seven innings on the night, and went on to score each time. The team has now scored double-digit runs in each of its three games this season. Big Train will be on the road again on Friday as they visit the Alexandria Aces at 6:30 p.m. at Frank Mann Field.

Rob Palladino "Spirit Trail" by Eileen Shapiro
Mob Team
U.K. artist Rob Palladino has recently released his hauntingly orgasmic EP entitled "Spirit Trail". The album is creating a buzz both in England as well as internationally for it's disguised themes of darkness and it's sonic intensity.
What goes on in the mind of Rob Palladino? I decided to find out……
Do any of your songs reflect a great challenge in your life and if so, what was it?
I think out of all of them 'Spirit Trail' itself presented the greatest challenge to be honest. The writing and arranging of that song went on for ages.
It went through so many incarnations, but I always intended it to be the title track and for it to pass the ten-minute mark. I don't really know why, but I just felt it had to be that way. Maybe I just wanted to prove to myself that I could write something of that length possibly.
Musical and lyrical ideas would be used, scrapped, used again, and scrapped again, it was very frustrating. Then after a much-loved family member sadly passed away the ideas started to come.
I went into some sort of auto-pilot and within about 24 hours the song was written. Maybe there was some guidance from somewhere, maybe not, I don't know. It's an interesting thought though as the lyrics lend themselves to that theory quite easily.
In terms of musical arrangement, I knew what I wanted. Note for note. I knew it would need operatic vocals on there, which my friend Simon Cook sang beautifully, and as many production bells and whistles as possible. I wanted it to be as over-the-top as it could get. I'm hugely proud of that song and it's my favourite by some distance. It has a lot of meaning attached to it on many levels.
If you could have your ultimate stage fantasy what would have to happen?
I grew up listening and watching bands that, in different ways, always provided a great show. I believe if people pay money to see you, then you give them the best you possibly can in all areas. I'd love to have a show that reflects that; Big sound, big lights, big everything. Big, big, big!
Do you think music can cure the soul as they say?
I really believe music is a cure all. I mean, all art can be viewed that way, but music has a special connection to each of us, I think. There are different tastes for sure, but when you need music, it's always there, and it never lets you down.
You can lose relationships, loved ones, all sorts, but music has the power to carry you through whatever is happening in your life, good or bad. I think music has a cleansing and healing power and, even if we can't play it, we can all feel it in some way. There's always a song that takes us somewhere; to a moment, a person, a feeling. It's a very powerful force.
Who are your musical influences?
I started listening to music when I was very young but my taste in bands and certain forms of music started to develop when I was about 11 years old. The first album I ever bought was 'A Night at the Opera' by Queen in late '75. From there I started listening to Kiss, Rush, Kansas, Saga, Motorhead, UFO, Saxon, loads of different rock and prog bands.
My tastes have obviously broadened as I've gotten older, and I listen to many styles of music, but I've always gravitated back to those bands.
If you can perform on stage with anyone in the world who would it be and why?
Oh, there's so many. If I had to choose, at this moment, it would be Alex Lifeson of Rush. He has such a unique, beautiful style, he's a very emotive player and a wonderful improviser too. I'd love to hear him play on my songs, that would be quite the honor.
What do you do when you're not doing music?
I have a day job, a wonderful partner and a fantastic family all of whom I love dearly. I love to watch football, or soccer as you guys across the pond call it, especially my beloved Tottenham Hotspur FC. I love watching baseball too. I love to read political history and watch movies. I'm an ordinary bloke, not terribly exciting!
What's next for Rob in 2019 and beyond?
I'm very ambitious for this record and, obviously, I want to see it do well. This album is worth so much more to me than just throwing it out there and hoping for the best. So, I'm continuing to promote it and, fortunately, I'm getting very positive feedback about it.
I'm also in the writing stage for the next album. I've got a couple of songs completed and about five or six others in various stages of research and development. I'm not the quickest writer in the world, but that's fine as there's still so much life in 'Spirit Trail.'
There's some live work coming up and I'm in the process of putting a band together, but that's a tough road to travel these days. Good musicians aren't as cheap and plentiful as they used to be. I'll get there though, I have no doubts about that. For now, though, I'm having the time of my life and I hope it continues!

Q: Como remover de uma lista valores que estão em outra? Tenho 2 dicionários, um com os horários disponíveis, e outro com os horários agendados:
schedules_dict = {1: ['00:00'], 2: ['00:30', '00:45'], 3: ['00:00', '00:30', '00:45']}
appointments_dict = {1: ['00:00'], 2: ['00:30'], 3: ['00:00', '00:30']}

E preciso mostrar apenas os horários que ainda estão disponíveis:
output = {2: ['00:45'], 3: ['00:45']}

Tentativa:
for key in schedules_dict.keys():
    if key in appointments_dict.keys():
        print(key)

A: Uma alternativa é transformar as listas de horários em set's e subtraí-los. Assim, o que sobrar são os horários disponíveis:
schedules_dict = {1: ['00:00'], 2: ['00:30', '00:45'], 3: ['00:00', '00:30', '00:45']}
appointments_dict = {1: ['00:00'], 2: ['00:30'], 3: ['00:00', '00:30']}

output = {}
for indice, disponiveis in schedules_dict.items():
    if indice in appointments_dict:
        # vê os horários que sobraram
        sobrou = list(set(disponiveis) - set(appointments_dict[indice]))
        if len(sobrou) > 0:
            output[indice] = sobrou
    else:
        output[indice] = disponiveis

print(output) # {2: ['00:45'], 3: ['00:45']}

Um detalhe é que set não garante a ordem dos elementos. Se quiser que os horários estejam em ordem, basta trocar para usar sorted:
sobrou = sorted(set(disponiveis) - set(appointments_dict[indice]))

A princípio, comparar strings contendo dígitos nem sempre funciona da forma esperada, mas neste caso os horários estão no formato HH:MM (sempre com 2 dígitos, de acordo com a norma ISO 8601), então a ordenação é feita corretamente.

A: veja se isso te ajuda:
schedules_dict = {1: ['00:00'], 2: ['00:30', '00:45'], 3: ['00:00', '00:30', '00:45']}
appointments_dict = {1: ['00:00'], 2: ['00:30'], 3: ['00:00', '00:30']}
for key in schedules_dict:
    for i in schedules_dict[key]:
        if i not in appointments_dict[key]:
            print(key,i)

A: Apenas fortalecendo o entendimento.
Pode consultar o utilitário de ajuda do Python, caso precise de mais orientações sobre essa função
apenas entre no shell interativo e digite:
help(set())

help ("algo que precise saber")
Assim tera mais ajuda.

Mumbai railway projects suffer as Centre & state fight over Rs 1,000 due
The Maharashtra government owes Rs 1,000 crore to the Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation (MRVC). Both state and central governments are trading charges against each other.
Manthank Mehta
MUMBAI: The political slugfest between the Centre and the state threatens to derail Mumbai's railway projects. The Maharashtra government owes Rs 1,000 crore to the Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation (MRVC). Both state and central governments are trading charges against each other.
A fortnight ago, junior railway minister Raosaheb Danve-Patil alleged that the state government had not released to the Centre Rs 36 crore for the Seawoods-Belapur-Uran project, Rs 367 crore for the Ahmednagar-Beed-Parli line, Rs 289 crore for the Wardha-Nanded-Yavatmal line and Rs 5,000 crore for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet train project. Thus, in addition to MRVC, the amount due to the Centre from Maharashtra government is Rs 6,365 crore, a railway official claimed.
In Mumbai, the state government has not handed over land for the bullet train project. In the first week of March, NHSRC had cancelled tenders, floated in November 2019, for the construction of an underground terminus at BKC as the state had failed to hand over land.
On the other hand, chief minister Uddhav Thackeray accused BJP of sabotaging the Dharavi redevelopment project as it had not released land in Mumbai even though the state had deposited Rs 800 crore with the Centre. Maharashtra paid this amount for 45 acres of land in Dharavi during the tenure of Devendra Fadnavis.
MRVC is an almost 50:50 joint venture between the state and the ministry of railways. The cost of projects is borne nearly equally by both. Funds for projects executed by MRVC are released by Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) and the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO).
A railway board official said, "The state government has not released funds amounting to Rs 1,000 crore since 2020. We have paid Rs 700 crore in excess in the hope that this will be adjusted as and when the state releases its share. However, we too have limitations and cannot keep on releasing funds indefinitely."
Officials said there has been a series of high level meetings between the railways and the state, but the stalemate continues.
MRVC undertakes projects to augment carrying capacity of suburban networks in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region by laying additional lines, buying more rakes and even upgrading technology of railway assets
MRVC borrows funds from multilateral agencies, which in turn are repaid by money released by the state government and railway ministry. A source said, "If the funds are not released there may be issues in paying salaries to the staff too."
A railway official said, "Funds are needed not only to pay civil contractors but also for carrying out feasibility studies, preparation of Detailed Project Report (DPR) and land acquisition too."
