Welcome to the first ever LEC review. Where we here at Gromp news go through today's epic fixtures. What an eventful opening LEC season. So without further ado let's get right into the action.
Opening match drama
SK proved that an old dog does have new tricks. You just have to not see that dog for about two years.
El Clásico is back:
The 2019 #LEC Spring Split kicks off NOW with @FNATIC vs. @SKGaming!

What an opening series of events that occurred during the Fnatic/ SK game. Firstly SK Gaming looked to have completely dominated Fnatic before latency issues in the server forced a full reset of the game. As you could imagine everybody was disappointed to see a match so late in the game be erased, especially considering SK Gaming was about to be victorious (or at least they seemed to be victorious). Secondly, Fnatic banned SK's Xin Zhao, Corki, and Rakan from the previous game. Enraging fans as they where SK's key champions in their previous… sort of victory? Thirdly, SK Gaming went on to beat Fnatic in their second encounter proving that their early game tactics in the last game, were not just because of Fnatic underestimating their opponents. However, the second game was no easy ride for the returning organisation. Quite simply, they have one man to thank. Selfmade. The player was a mechanical god on Sejuani and it was his game-changing ultimates and early ganks that ensured SK were victorious. The Pole was not only able to adapt his style of play in two games having changed from Xin to Sejuani. But he executed both perfectly. Many people were hyping the jungler as the true superstar in the Mad Lions roster and if he continues these performances, the people might be true.
Nevertheless, it wasn't just Selfmade which won his side the game. Dreams also managed to step up. Arguably Dreams was considered one of the weaker players in SK's line-up. However, his ultimates with Selfmade were timed to perfection. It was a constant repeat of Sejunai, Braum, Kill until SK took down the nexus. It's important to note that Nemesis didn't have the greatest of games against PireAn. He was constantly down in the laning phase and at times he felt invisible in the team fights. However, this is only the first game and expect Fnatic to bounce back as soon as tomorrow. Nevertheless, this was the start SK Gaming fans could only have wished for.
Misfits dominance
.@MisfitsGG are not playing around and take a clean win over @GoingRogueGG! #MSFWIN #LEC pic.twitter.com/M8vp4moW4s
A lot of people were wondering how Misfits would perform straight away in the LEC. Their superstar line-up had a chance to impress against a Rogue side that many consider to be battling for playoffs at a push. In all honesty, this was the most dominating game of the entire day. It all started in the draft when Rogue provided Hans Sama with Draven. By the 12th minute, the ADC had a Bloodthirster and a BF Sword and ended the game 8/0/2. Misfits had a 14k gold lead when Rogue's nexus was destroyed. To be fair, many expected Misfits to win. Every single player on this side has been to at least a worlds quarter-final. However, it was the way they beat Rogue that stood out. Their execution was clean for most of the game and Rogue cannot be too disappointed with how they played. It was just that Misfits played the perfect game. It also helps when an early game team is granted three inferno dragons. In terms of analysis, there isn't too much to say. GorillA and Hans Sama looked brilliant in lane. Febiven performed well, with sOAZ and Maxlore remaining consistent in the game. This is the start that Fnatic wished they had in the first game. However, this was against Rogue and it'll be interesting to see how this team fairs tomorrow and more importantly next week. As for Rogue, they will probably not pay too much attention to this result, it was an expected loss and their focus will be on tomorrow's matchup against exceL. It's in that game where we may see Sencux fully perform against a lower tiered side.
Origen is good.. wait what happened?
This is the ideal team comp. You may not like it, but this is what poke performance looks like.#LEC pic.twitter.com/flJ3HQ9a1z
The last game of the day was certainly a treat. Origen Vs G2 and yeah, Perkz was playing Zoe in the bot lane. The major questions going into this game were how good are Origen? And can Perkz play bot lane? The answer is simple. Origen is good and Perkz can play bot lane, kinda. This game surprisingly was one of the slower games in the laning phase. This was no small part of the quality of players in each role. It is also a credit to Perkz who is going up against a strong pair in Mithy and Patrik. The fact that G2 was only slightly losing in bot lane is a major positive to Perkz and more importantly Mickyx, who tried his best to keep him alive in the early game. However, when G2 started grouping up, that's when the game really began. G2's comp of Zoe, Karthus, and Jayce is ridiculous. The damage from these champions together, along with G2's natural mechanical ability spelled the end of Origen in an instant. As soon as G2 realized how much damage they could do they grew in confidence and the game was over. If there is one thing we have realized about G2, they don't care about the laning phase because they have a strategy and that is annihilating sides when the real fights begin. Origen have a chance to redeem themselves tomorrow against Fnatic, one of these teams will go 0-2. G2, on the other hand, have sent an immediate message to Misfits and the rest of the League.
Schalke's killer blow
We are in champ select for @TeamVitality vs @S04Esports! #VforVictory #SchalkeNullFear
📺 https://t.co/wCghUMbh0N pic.twitter.com/W8bIbvPU13
Vitality Vs Schalke was hyped up a lot here at Gromp News as the game of the week. While it failed to fully deliver on its expectations. This fight was entertaining to watch and overall a lot of fun. Of course, Vitality had to be the first side to play a non-marksman in the bot lane, locking in Viktor with the Tahm Kench. The game as a whole felt like a boxing match. Both sides were looking for that knockout blow in a matchup that lacked in kills but not in aggressive plays. In the end, it was all about who could slay the Baron. Trust us, Vitality tried very hard to take down the Baron. Every time a slight advantage was given their way they would run out the Baron pit to try and take it down. Four attempts later and the Baron still stood tall. Then as Vitality walked away to build up for a fifth Baron play. Schalke walked in, slayed the beast and delt Vitality a huge sucker punch This resulted in Schalke running down mid lane, winning a crucial team fight and claiming the nexus.
Both sides showed that they will be entertaining to watch whether they win or lose. Mowgli and Memento were all over the map and Odoamne had a great Kennen game, then a bad Kennen game, then he played okay. To be honest, the major reason Schalke won the game was because of Upset. The side was correct to build around him and he looked consistent on his signature Ezreal pick. In the end, he was a major factor for the German side being victorious. However, if both of these sides continue to play this way, a lot of teams will struggle to cope against them.
It doesn't matter how you win
#SPYWIN@Splyce win their first game in the 2019 #LEC Spring Split as they take down @EXCEL! pic.twitter.com/TrE22rA2Et
The second game on Friday featured the returning Splyce and newcomers exceL Esports. The long story short, this game fell flat compared to SK vs Fnatic. The game highlighted more weakness for the sides than their strength. This game felt like it was the first game of the split. Both sides didn't seem prepared and Splyce won due to their late-game strategy and the fact exceL made more mistakes than them. The game started hilariously as Splyce support Norskeren forgot to buy items until a minute and a half into the game, immediately making Kobbe's game a little bit harder. We also go to see Expect lock in his signature Rumble in the top lane which at first was fun, but slowly turned out to be a drastic mistake as the game continued. Neither of these sides seemed alert today. Nevertheless, if these issues can be sorted out, there was glimpse's from both sides that show they have true potential to upset teams in the league. Humanoid had a solid debut for Splyce and so far has yet to be killed in the league. He didn't look out of place in that lineup and certainly, he will improve as the split continues. In the end, Splyce were victorious and they will gladly take the win. In the end, it doesn't matter how you win, just that you come out with the victory.
A successful debut?
To conclude, what an exciting start to the LEC. It has to be said, the event felt very long. This was due to the technical issues throughout the games. We here at Gromp News didn't want to focus on the technical problems. However, it did impact on the enjoyment of the stream. The majority of the games featured a situation where a pause was needed. However, despite that, it was a successful debut for the LEC. The stories were delivered the production was generally clean and most of the games delivered from an entertainment standpoint. On to the next day!

The International: A Review of Two Worlds.
Published under the pseudonym of Baphomet, Grand Master of the Knights of the Holy Ghost.
Written on 16 July 1916.
Having forced Mortadello to marry her, she disguises herself as a Saharan dancer and drugs him with hashish. She then discloses her identity; and he, in the madness of the drug, attacks the Papal legate. She follows and, defending the old man, kills her husband. This last scene, by the way, fulfils my idea of true comedy; the dressing up of a man as a king or god, and inducing him to preside at a hunting of which he is in reality to be the quarry. I have shown in my essay "Good Hunting!" (The International, March 1918) that this central idea is universal in all the best comedy and tragedy from the "Bacchae" of Euripides, the story of Esther, the Crucifixion and the murder of Hiram Abif, to the plays of Shakespeare, Ibsen and many others.

Q: Populating a Field with Lookup to User ID I have a date field that, when changed, I'd like for an update to another field specifying which Salesforce User made that change. Would the best way to go about this be a Workflow Field Update? How can I create the field update to a lookup field? Essentially, when this date field is actioned, I'd like for the secondary field to have the User's First and Last name populated in it and linked to their User Profile, as any lookup would be.
The basis of this request is we want that when a specific person (one who has permission) edits a field on the custom object, that the date and that User's name is captured. This would ideally be similar to the Last Modified by field, but only for certain users.

A: As mentioned in the comments, the Field History Tracking is salesforce built in way of handling this.  However, if that doesn't give you exactly what you need, you could write a trigger to work the way you explained above.

*

*Add trigger to object On Update

*compare the values of the field in Trigger.OldMap vs Trigger.new

*If the field has changed, then store the current users Id in the desired field

*Use a map to track with records you have processed and prevent recursion

Swarthmore, Pa., Oct. 23, 2003 -- After announcing that they were rejecting Diebold Elections Systems' cease and desist orders and initiating a campaign of legal electronic civil disobedience, Why War? and the Swarthmore Coalition for the Digital Commons (SCDC) held a public meeting yesterday. In attendance were representatives of Swarthmore College, where both organizations are based and the site of the first hosting of the documents in this campaign. Overnight, word had spread of this action and Dean Bob Gross had received over 250 emails of support from individuals throughout the world including "tech celebrities" and Swarthmore College alumni.
Swarthmore College, unfortunately, is not willing to take a strong stand against Diebold, and is systematically disabling the network access of any student who hosts or even links to the files or information about them. "We can't get out in front in this fight against Diebold," Gross said during the meeting with over fifty students, staff, and faculty. Gross, apparently, did not see that by taking an active stance against Why War's actions, Swarthmore was aiding Diebold's suppression.
Why War? had hoped that an institution once praised for allegiance to the pursuit of truth would have taken a more forceful stance in defense of information. Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the college would be under no liability after informing a student that s/he should not be hosting the file, yet Swarthmore is choosing to act counter to the spirit of both its traditions and rules. Why War? is deeply distressed by Swarthmore's inability, or unwillingness, to understand that the magnitude of this situation: a fair presidential election.
"There's so much in here that we haven't found yet that it's a necessity that we keep them up, so people can look through them," Why War? member Micah White said. The documents are over 13,000 pages long; due to this most recent campaign more than 40,000 individuals have viewed at least some of the documents and hundreds have offered to mirror the files.
The content of the documents "seriously calls into question democracy in America," White explained, demonstrating that Diebold knew about security flaws in their software and consistently refused to fix them. The memoranda show that Diebold recognized a flaw in the 2000 presidential election in Florida in which one precinct gave Al Gore over 16,000 negative votes -- a flaw that only came to light due to the mandated recount. They show that Diebold broke voting laws in applying patches to their machines during the course of the 2002 elections in Georgia. They show that Diebold knowingly left open a "back door" security hole after it was exposed in county elections in Kansas. Under Diebold's systems, voting records can be tampered with at every step of the way, from the machines themselves to the databases in which the totals are stored.
"The process of creating and maintaining electronic voting machines should be a public process. The counting of votes should not be controlled in the back rooms of a for-profit company; it should be a fully transparent process that is able to be checked by citizens at every step of the way," Why War? member Ivan Boothe said. Diebold has consistently opposed every attempt at making the process public or keeping a verifiable record of the elections systems themselves. Diebold's lack of security and lack of transparency means that anyone of any political persuasion could change voting totals without being detected. "If states continue to use Diebold and Diebold continues to engage in 'black box' voting, we will never know whether our elections are free and democratic or not," Boothe said.
After consultation with SCDC, the two groups have decided to pursue different courses of action. Although Why War? and SCDC are no longer working together, we are confident that the actions of each group will independently result in continued access to the Diebold documents. SCDC has decided to comply with a cease and desist request and take legal action against Diebold. Why War? is confident that SCDC's counter-complaint will result in Diebold being forced to stop its campaign of suppression; in the meantime Why War? will continue to provide access to the memos by listing mirrors provided by individuals worldwide on its website, why-war.com.

Jon Bernthal's Punisher Is Once More Rumored To Return In Daredevil: Born Again
Posted by Stephanie Ramirez | Aug 19, 2022 | News, Superheroes, TV | 0
Daredevil: Born Again is not set for release until 2024, but speculation about a possible cameo from a certain vigilante played by Jon Bernthal has already begun to make its rounds on social media.
Before the series was canceled, Marvel Netflix's The Punisher starring Jon Bernthal became a smash hit for audiences. Since the cancellation, many have been wondering when we're gonna see his character in the MCU.
RELATED: NEW LEAK INDICATES AN AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER GAME IS IN THE WORKS FOR ALL CONSOLES
During a panel at the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo, The Mandalorian star Rosario Dawson said that she heard "that The Punisher was happening again" after she was asked about her return as Claire Temple in the upcoming Daredevil. Social media was booming on the news but soon after, Dawson went onto Twitter stating that she heard the news through a fan during a signing.
But according to a scooper, we might see Jon Bernthal back as The Punisher.
Jon Bernthal's Possible Return
According to Twitter user @CanWeGetSomeToast, fans should "expect Punisher to show up in Daredevil: Born Again." Whether this is true or not, it's an exciting thought to have Jon Bernthal's return as the anti-hero. Ever since the announcement at San Diego Comic-Con this year, speculations and theories over what we might get in the upcoming Daredevil series have been at an all-time high.
We are expected to see Daredevil in both She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and Echo before his big debut in his very own series. Now that we have both Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio set to make their returns as their respected characters, there's still a chance of one day seeing Jon Bernthal as the Punisher. There's also been rumors circulating of the character appearing in Echo as well.
News like this makes it all the better for Marvel Netflix fans who were following along during these show's debut. Even with the excitement, there are fans who are worried about a possible "water-downed" version of the beloved characters.
TV-14 or TV-MA
When it came to Daredevil and The Punisher, they were both categorized as MA content. This doesn't come as too much of a surprise, especially when both series dealt with violence and dark themes. Now that Disney has taken the characters and added them to Disney+ along with Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and The Defenders, the streaming company has decided to place the series onto the platform with Parental Control.
This helps ease the minds of adults with children to not accidentally press "play" on content that isn't suitable for their young children. Even with these restrictions, fans are still worried that Daredevil won't be as dark as it was on Netflix. Some have even spoken out that Daredevil will become more of a comedy than the action-packed character we saw previously.
According to She-Hulk: Attorney at Law's lead actress, Tatiana Maslany, fans will be pleased when they see the character in the Disney+ series.
Daredevil: A Possible Trial Run
If Jon Bernthal's Punisher is set to be making an appearance in Daredevil: Born Again, it's good to think that fans will be seeing Matt Murdock make his return as the Man Without Fear before we see him in his own series again. This could be a trial run and from then, fans can see how the character will be portrayed. Both Maslany and the She-Hulk's head writer, Jessica Gao have both spoken briefly about the Devil of Hell's Kitchen's appearance.
In an interview with Deadline, Maslany teased that fans will be "very happy" when it comes to his appearance. "I don't want to say anything… I just want to say that I think the fans will be really happy. He's amazing. He's a really amazing actor."
As for Gao, she explained that Daredevil won't change, but we'll see his character's lighter side.
"You get to see a lighter side of them and part of that is because the universe isn't in danger, it's just a regular day for them, it's a normal day. So, you kind of get to see these people when they're not worried about saving all humanity, they get to just deal with everyday stuff. It's kind of like they get to take a comedy vacation in our show and then they can go back and do their series stuff again."
Jessica Gao for Lifehacker
As a start, it doesn't seem all that bad. We did get to see Murdock for the first time in the MCU in Spider-Man: No Way Home, but he was on screen for less than 10 minutes. When it comes to Jon Bernthal, we might have him for just a few episodes, just to get reacquainted before hopefully getting an actual series for the character.
Whatever the case may be, the Punisher's possible return and MCU debut would be exciting for all of us to see!
What do you guys think? Would you be excited to see Jon Bernthal's comeback? Let us know in the comments and don't forget to follow us on all of our socials!

▪ Brad Calipari encountered the Twitter trolls at the O'Connell Center. He even autographed one of the signs.
▪ LSU had won 10 straight games before its loss to the Razorbacks. Arkansas shot 58.3 percent overall, however. Mike Anderson's team made 13 of 24 three-point shots. When that happens, well, as a coach we know likes to say, you just move on to the next game.
▪ Be sure and check out Mark Story's column on former UK coach Joe B. Hall, who has been battling some health issues. It should be noted that friends said they saw Joe B. and his friends at one of his favorite haunts, Windy Corner, last Sunday.
▪ The way Louisville embarrassed North Carolina in Chapel Hill last month, you knew the Tar Heels would be ready for the return game at the Yum Center. So there's no great surprise in UNC's 79-69 win. Give Louisville credit for cutting a 19-point deficit to nine points in the second half. North Carolina has won five straight games, by the way.
▪ Just when you think you have things figured out, Indiana goes to Michigan State and upsets the Spartans. Indiana had lost seven straight games. It had no business winning at East Lansing.
▪ Just when you think you have it all figured out, a ranked college basketball team scores 24 points (total) in a game in the shot clock era. Take a bow, North Carolina State. Actually, take a bow Virginia Tech, which held the Wolfpack to 14 points in the first half, 10 the second.
▪ We will soon start digging deeper into the Kentucky Derby preps. Saturday was a day for upsets in the early preps. That especially applied to the Holy Bull where Harvey Wallbanger won at 29-1. Harvey is trained by Lexington's own Kenny McPeek.
▪ My Super Bowl pick: New England 27, L.A. Rams 17. The old master (Belichick) takes the new master (McVay) to school.

I found this new site today which is really cool called Japander.com. Basically they have all the Japanese commercials with American Stars who are too good to do commercials here. Check out this really cool one of Tarantino fighting for the remote during a satellite TV ad. Or the one with Mike Tyson for Toyota trucks, and we're not talking SUVs we're talking like, trucks trucks you would use on a construction site. Very cool.
Update: Hold everything the Madonna commercial where she is dressed as a samurai singing "How can Iiiiiiiiiii be pure" is the winner.

A train station next to the scene of last week's suicide bombing in Manchester reopened Tuesday for the first time since the carnage in which 22 people were killed, as the city slowly returned to normal.
Manchester-born Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher was to make his solo debut later on Tuesday with a charity concert, the latest in a flood of tributes in Britain's third-largest city for the victims of last Monday's concert attack.
"We Will Remember You", read signs accompanied by heart images and surrounded by floral tributes at Manchester Victoria station as service resumed.
"Tragically taken away. But never to be forgotten," read a note left by transport minister Chris Grayling at a morning ceremony, while Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham wrote: "We will always stand with you".
"I think it will take a long time to get back to normal. There's still a weird feeling, you know, armed police, a lot of unease," said 59-year-old David Keys as he got off a train.
Sharon Glyn, 48, said she felt "goosebumps" as her train pulled into the station, while 29-year-old Andrew Shivas said: "Can't let them win".
Manchester Victoria station is connected to the Manchester Arena, one of Europe's biggest indoor venues, by a covered space that was the scene of Monday's blast, in which 116 people were also injured.
The bomber has been identified as 22-year-old Salman Abedi, a Manchester-born university dropout of Libyan origin who reportedly fought in the Libyan conflict to topple former dictator Moamer Kadhafi.
Abedi's brother, Hashem, and father, Ramadan, have been arrested in Libya, where authorities say the two brothers were both IS jihadists.
Britain's terror threat level was raised to maximum in the wake of the attack but lowered again over the weekend, while armed soldiers who had been deployed to assist police patrols were being pulled back.
Police say they have uncovered a "large part" of the network behind the attack but questions have intensified over apparent intelligence failures in identifying Abedi as a potential terror threat.
"I want to try and help pick people up," Gallagher, 44, told The Manchester Evening News.
Gallagher has a rocky relationship with his older brother Noel, who played guitar for Oasis and wrote most of the band's hits. They parted ways in 2009.

Report on Fuego (Guatemala) — 14 March-20 March 2007
Smithsonian / US Geological Survey Weekly Volcanic Activity Report, 14 March-20 March 2007
Global Volcanism Program, 2007. Report on Fuego (Guatemala). In: Sennert, S K (ed.), Weekly Volcanic Activity Report, 14 March-20 March 2007. Smithsonian Institution and US Geological Survey.
Volcano Profile | Weekly Report (14 March-20 March 2007)
INSIVUMEH reported that incandescent material from Fuego was ejected 200 m above the summit on 15 March. The activity was accompanied by rumbling noises and shockwaves that vibrated windows several kilometers away. Two lava flows were observed; one traveled about 1,500 m W toward the Taniluyá River valley. An ash plume drifted S and SW. On 16 March, Strombolian activity propelled material 300 m above the summit and shockwaves were felt as far as 15 km away. The lava flows from 15 March advanced and three more flows were observed in different ravines on 16 March. Ash plumes rose to an altitude of 5.4 km (17,799 ft) a.s.l. and drifted S, SW, and E. Two pyroclastic flows traveled about 800 m; one NW and another W and SW.
Based on pilot reports, INSIVUMEH reports, and satellite imagery, the Washington VAAC reported that ash plumes reached altitudes of 4.1-6.1 km (13,500-20,000 ft) a.s.l. during 15-16 March. A hotspot was visible on satellite imagery both days.

Turnbull unveils new digital plans
A re-elected Coalition Government will publish a digital transformation roadmap for the public sector by November, and give citizens access to dashboard data that measures against delivery timelines and KPI's like cost per transaction, user satisfaction and completion rates.
The government also outlined plans to Shanghai private sector experts into departments and agencies on secondment in order to accelerate the digital changes to services delivery, and has also committed to an overhaul of Federal ICT procurement practices.
The launch of the coalition's policy for Better and More Accessible Digital Services was a low-key affair and is unlikely to be a vote-changer. But its measures will have a big impact on the Australian Public Service and the local tech scene.
Digital promises: A Coalition roadmap for digital transformation in government
The policies have the effect of delivering greater power to the Digital Transformation Office as an instrument of change, while keeping responsibility for service delivery within the different departments and agencies.
At the top of this program is the so-called digital transformation roadmap, which is firmly the responsibility of the DTO. Departments and agencies have been formulating their digital strategies and submitting them to the DTO.
This not new policy. The DTO had already been working with agencies to publish agency-level roadmaps. The difference now is that government has committed to a November deadline for the creation of macro-level government roadmap (that is, where the DTO has identified resource priorities for the highest-value services and transactions.
With the roadmap comes the public dashboard. These dashboards are becoming more commonplace – the UK's GDS has been a pioneer – providing data on key-performance indicators at as close to real-time as possible. This is bold. It is certainly new behaviour for the Commonwealth.
The November launch will be revealing if nothing else, as it will set benchmarks for these indicators, and apply improvement goals to each of them.
The Coalition policy also formalises the DTO's involvement in the renovation of the myGov website to make it easier to use and more accessible through smartphone and tablet devices. The government had previously earmarked $50 million to modernise myGov, with the DTO to partner with Medicare, Child Support, Centrelink and the Australian Taxation Office.
The myGov portal is much lamented and much criticized. It is difficult to use, and as a result is not used enough. The DTO is thought to have been loathe to go anywhere near myGov (and had instead embarked on its own longer term 'identity' program.
The additional $50 million for myGov is an interim measure. The project aims to stabilise the infrastructure and improve the front-end, making myGov a more useable solution while these longer term digital identity services are rolled out.
And 'identity' is at the core of the digital service delivery. Another election commitment promises to give citizens greater control of their personal information. The commitment – which is presumably being based on the DTO's 'identity' work – will ultimately enable more complex service transactions that involve both a government agency and the private sector – to be carried out more simply.
And this is where identity issues are so paramount.
Perhaps controversially, the Coalition is also seeking to establish an "Experts in Residence" to make it easier for departments and agencies get access to "world-class" digital skills.
"We will partner with private sector companies to access digital experts on three, six or 12 month secondments," the policy said.
"Secondments will help increase the level of collaboration between government and the private sector, making it easier for government agencies to access specialist digital skills."
"Secondees from the private sector will offer important insights and experience that will support government agencies to deliver services that are simpler and more accessible for customers."
Details of the program are still to be worked out. It is not clear who will be paying for the secondments (whether government takes over the salary commitment for the duration, or if it is a combination of both.)
And it is far from clear how government will afford to pay for what are, in the private sector, extremely well-paid positions.
Of course such secondees could be sourced from global companies – Google, Salesforce, AWS, Microsoft for example – but how the roles will be played out within departments is unclear.
Such policy is not unique (there is nothing new under the sun, after all.) President Obama has made much of his recruitment of private sector experts from top US companies to drive digital initiatives in the US.
The President had also sought to make it easier for private sector people to move in and out of public service (and he was happy to use his own charisma and a call to doing a public good as the appeal above money.)
Finally, the coalition has promised to overhaul to way it buys information and communications technologies. The current system is recognised as not fit for purpose. It is expensive, slow-moving and has just as much chance of killing an Australian small business as it does providing it with an opportunity.
"The Coalition will establish a taskforce in the Prime Minister's Department to reform government ICT procurement policies," the policy states.
The taskforce will be supported by the Digital Transformation Office and will complement initiatives from the National Innovation and Science Agenda such as developing a digital marketplace.
"The taskforce will identify existing procurement barriers and opportunities to streamline ICT procurement. It will also identify opportunities to make it easier for startups and small and medium businesses to compete for government ICT contracts."
"Many digital companies offer innovative 'off the shelf' products that are low risk and could be used to accelerate the digitisation of government services."
"It is important that innovative digital companies, particularly startups and small and medium businesses, are not hindered by traditional procurement pathways for minor or standard products, or compliance requirements that do not match the simplicity of the procurement."

Maibam Ranita Devi
(IND) India: MidwifeNurse
Maibam Ranita Devi is a nurse and midwife with almost ten years of experience in the health sector. Today, she is a staff leader at the health and wellness center in Awang Wabagai. Ranita follows a hands-on management style that has not only earned her respect, but also the trust of the community she serves as a midlevel health provider in Manipur's Imphal district.
"I think nurses play a vital role in this pandemic because the duty of a nurse and their responsibility is extended to a larger scope."
Maibam Ranita Devi began her career in 2010 as a staff nurse in Imphal. Until two years ago, her role mainly involved attending births. This was when she took the advice of a medical officer who encouraged her to apply for a certificate course in community health. She went on to complete the half-year course conducted by the Indira Gandhi National Open University where providers like Ranita have the opportunity to expand and improve their skills in order to move up in their careers. Once she earned her certificate, she was appointed to her current position where she is able to lead by example in her community.

Hydraulic hose is one of the least considered components of a high-pressure fluid power system; however, its habit of being overlooked does not reduce its importance. Any machine with actuators attached to moving segments requires flexible plumbing, and that plumbing is hydraulic hose. Hydraulic hose has come a long way with regards to pressure limit and flexibility, especially since the proliferation of synthetic materials, such as PTFE and buna nitrile. Also, there are many benefits of hydraulic hose in addition to flexibility, making it an option for complete system plumbing.
Hydraulic hose has many advantages over fixed plumbing, such as tube. Advantages to hose are its ability to absorb vibration and noise, which can be troublesome with pipe or tube, especially if they are resonating or amplifying a sound created elsewhere. Hose assemblies are also easier to manufacturer than hard plumbing, and because hard plumbing can be labor-intensive, hose is often less expensive. Also, hydraulic hose is constructed with a rubber outer carcass, so it has no potential to rust as hard plumbing might, which is often painted to prevent rust when it is not constructed of stainless steel.
Figure 1. This image from Parker Hannifin shows the typical construction of a hydraulic hose, with the inner tube, four layers of spiral steel wire reinforcement and the cover. In this example, Parker's SuperTough cover provides 450 times the abrasion protection when compared to a standard rubber covered hose. Photo courtesy of Parker Hannifin.
The construction technique and material of hydraulic hose differs based on its intended application. The various application parameters required when selecting hose are size, temperature, fluid type and pressure, to name a few. Depending on these criteria, the choice of hose construction will change to suit the conditions. The majority of hydraulic machines are not exotic, however, and typically your standard 100R1 or 100R2 ("1-wire" and "2-wire" respectively) hoses are appropriate. However, when extreme pressures and exotic fluids come into play, the options for suitable hose are reduced.
The primary consideration for hydraulic hose—essentially what separates it from other hoses—is its pressure holding capacity, which can be anywhere from 1,000 to 6,000 psi or more. Hydraulic hose uses a three-layer construction: the inner tube, the reinforcement layer and the outer cover (figure 1).
The tube construction material is dictated partly by the fluid being used in the hydraulic system. For example, nitrile or rubber is fantastic for petroleum-based hydraulic oil, but would not be compatible with a synthetic fluid such as phosphate ester, which requires Viton or Teflon. Special attention should also be paid to chemical compatibility of the outer cover as well. There could be ambient conditions containing chemicals incompatible with the cover material, which is commonly nitrile. Tube material varies less than does cover material, which can be made from neoprene, PVC, nitrile or even non-rubber woven textile.
Tube and cover composition also play a role in the temperature range hose is best suited to operate within. Standard hose construction allows for anything between –40 to 202° F, such as with the common combination of nitrile tube and neoprene cover, but special formulations of these polymers are required for colder conditions. Cold weather polymers need to be highly malleable to prevent cracking and subsequent hose failure.
At the other extreme, ambient or operating heat can cause premature hose failure due to a softened tube and cover. Although most hydraulic systems—and the oil itself—are not happy at extreme temperatures, sometimes localized heat must be guarded against, such as in steel mills. For conditions anywhere up to 400° F, Teflon can be used for the tube, and then wrapped with a stainless steel cover. The downside of Teflon hose is that it's not terribly flexible and has a large bend radius.
Figure 2. Comparison between spiral and wire braid reinforcement.
The cover's primary job is to protect the tube and reinforcement from environmental conditions, above and beyond the temperature and chemical resistance already discussed. Not all hose is created equally, and because a common failure of hydraulic hose is the result of cover abrasion, special attention should be paid to the cover construction material.
Although abrasion can easily be avoided through proper installation and use of hose clamps, sometimes friction is unavoidable, like with a portable concrete saw tool, which has a remote power unit feeding the saw through 50 ft or more of hose strewn across the job site. In a case like this, special hose construction with an abrasion resistant cover is a solid choice (as is the use of protective hose wrap). I should point out that an old-school textile hose cover—although dubious looking—is actually superior to most neoprene rubbers in regards to abrasion resistance.
The central defining criteria most people associate with hydraulic hose is its pressure holding capacity, and it owes that capacity to the reinforcement layer. To say the reinforcement is sandwiched between the tube and cover would do it injustice and imply the reinforcement is loosely wrapped. More accurately, the reinforcement layer(s) is tightly wound upon the tube with a spiral winding or braiding machine. The cover is then applied, and you have a complete hose.
Steel wire is by and large the most popular choice for the hose reinforcement layer, and is either cross-braided or spiral wound, as seen in Figure 2. Cross-braided wire has alternating rows of perpendicular wire woven in opposite directions around the tube. Braided steel hose comes in one or two layers, and is usually separated by another layer of rubber when two layers are used. As mentioned, the most common types of hydraulic hose are the SAE 100R1 and 100R2 braided hose, affectionately referred to as 1-wire and 2-wire, respectively.
Braided hose is the most popular type of hydraulic hose, and is available in a vast array of sizes and pressure ratings. It should be noted that hose pressure rating is reduced as tube ID increases due to higher internal forces. Also, hose working pressure is rated a quarter of burst pressure, giving the hose a safety factor of four to one, but I digress. Braided hose has excellent flexibility for its strength, and most manufacturers make high-flex braided hose with half the bend radius as its standard cousin.
Figure 3. Illustration of a hose assembly cutaway image shows the inner workings between Parker's Parkrimp hose fittings and its hoses. No matter what style hose you choose, making a correct assembly is critical to safe design and use. Parkrimp provides a full-length crimp. Photo courtesy of Parker Hannifin.
There are two types of spiral-wound hydraulic hose. The helically-coiled hose is a mild reinforcement used to increase pressure capacity, but is limited to suction lines where little or no pressure exists, or sometimes used on return lines where pressure spikes are of no concern. However, the tightly wound spiral layers used for hydraulic hose are used on ultra-high pressure systems. Four layers of high-tensile steel wire is laid directly on top of each other perpendicular to each subsequent layer.
The four-layer spiral wound hydraulic hose is extremely strong and is common in high-pressure, large-diameter hose assemblies. This 4-wire hose is available up to a 5,000 psi rating at a 2-in. diameter, although sometimes 6-wire hose is used for such extreme requirements. The downside to 4- and 6-wire hose is its flexibility, or lack thereof. Because of rigid, multi-layer construction, 4-wire 100R12 hose is quite stiff; however, advances in materials and construction have allowed the major hose manufacturers to reduce the bend radius significantly.
All hydraulic hose is manufactured to North American or international standards to ensure construction techniques and quality guidelines are met or exceeded, and because of the potential safety hazards in and around hydraulic machinery, this is a good thing. There has never been a wider selection of hydraulic hose available, particularly for specialized applications. Because of the increased demands for high-pressure performance, I imagine the choice of hydraulic hose will only continue to grow.
As one who has worked with hydraulic hoses before, I really enjoyed this post. I agree about how hydraulic hoses have come a long way with regards to pressure limit and flexibility. I liked your advice about keeping it covered, and I've seen how this can be a great way to protect the hose from external factors. Thanks for sharing this article.
It makes sense that the cover on the hose would be important to keep things protected. The same could be said of having the correct hose fitting to use where it attaches into the supply of whatever it is pumping through the tube. The fitting would probably be one of the places that the most leaking would occur in the wrong size or shape was used so it would be important to ensure that it is correct for the circumstance.

ʿAYYĀŠĪ, ABU'L-NAŻR MOḤAMMAD B. MASʿŪD B. MOḤAMMAD B. AL-ʿAYYĀŠ AL-SOLAMĪ SAMARQANDĪ, Imami jurist and scholar of the 3rd-4th/9th-10th centuries. It is said that he descended from the tribe of Tamīm and was born and raised as a Sunni, but while still young he was converted to the Shiʿite Imami faith. He studied with the disciples of ʿAlī b. Ḥasan b. Fażżāl and ʿAbdallāh b. Moḥammad Ṭayālesī, the leading Imami scholars of the third/ninth century as well as with other prominent scholars of Kūfa, Baghdad, and Qom. It is reported that he spent his whole inheritance of 300,000 dinars in pursuit of scholarship and tradition and that his house, which had become a center of learning, was always filled with people. Although he is said to have related traditions on weak authorities, he is regarded as an eminent, trustworthy figure, like that of Kolaynī, among the early Imamis. He was one of the main sources for his student Kaššī's Rejāl (Bombay, 1317, passim; Najāšī, Ketāb al-rejāl, Bombay, 1317, pp. 247-50).
Ebn al-Nadīm states that ʿAyyāšī was one of the most learned of his time and that his books carried great weight in Khorasan. He was a prolific author and Ebn al-Nadīm has given a comprehensive list of his works based on the authority of Jonayd b. Noʿaym comprising over 200 titles (Fehrest, pp. 244-46; see also Ṭūsī, Fehrest, ed. Moḥammad-Ṣādeq Āl-Baḥr-al-ʿolūm, Najaf, 1381/1961, pp. 163-65; Ebn Šahrāšūb, Maʿālem al-ʿolamāʾ , ed. ʿA. Eqbāl, Tehran, 1353/1934, pp. 88-89; Astarābādī, Menhāj al-maqāl, Tehran, 1306, pp. 319-20). Though most of his works dealt with jurisprudence, they covered a wide range of subjects from typical Shiʿite themes, such as dalāʾel al-aʾemma, taqīya, ḡayba and rajʿa, to medicine, poetry, dreams, stars, and divination. He also wrote biographies of the first three caliphs and Moʿāwīa drawing on Sunni sources. His commentary of the Koran (tafsīr), wherein the moral excellence (fażāʾel) of Ahl al-Bayt is emphasized, enjoyed wide popularity with the Imamis and was used both by Ṭabrasī (6th/12th century) and Majlesī (11th/17th) as a source for their Majmaʿ al-bayān fī tafsīr al-Qorʾān (Tehran, I 379/ 1959, I, p. 17) and Beḥār al-anwār (Tehran, 1376/1956, I, pp. 97-100) respectively. Unfortunately, all his works except the first half of the tafsīr are lost (Mīrzā Moḥammad-Bāqer Ḵᵛānsārī, Rawżāt al-jannāt fī aḥwāl al-ʿolamāʾwa'l-sādāt, ed. A. Esmāʿīlīān, Tehran, 1390/1970, VI, pp. 129-31; al-Ḏarīʿa IV, p. 295).

It is the user's responsibility to keep the blades properly lubricated and cleaned. We suggest using a dry film rust inhibitor on the blade. Use Lock Tite when assembling any hardware, such as attaching the clip plate to the sheath.

Bella Poarch Releases 'Build a Bitch' With Music Video
Global sensation Bella Poarch has released hot new track 'Build a Bitch'. The track is now available to stream on all major streaming platforms!
'Build a Bitch' portrays an empowering message throughout, with a gentle reminder that we all need to accept others for who they truly are. Her soft vocals compliment the mesmerising backing track, and you'll be sure to have this one stuck in your head for a while.
Accompanying the new single comes a new music video, too. With his creative experience from Sub Urban, director Andrew Donoho teamed up with Bella for the visual masterpiece. The video shows Bella in a Build a Bear style factory, being crafted into a new character. As the men queue outside to see what's on offer, Bella manages to escape and cause havoc at the scene.
When discussing the exciting new track, Bella said:
'Build a Bitch' is about accepting yourself for who you are instead of listening to other people's ideas of what you should do or how you should look. I hope it helps people to feel more confident and good about themselves, and also reminds them not to judge anyone else.'
All the way from a tiny farm in the Philippines, Bella realised her talent from a very early age. Despite her parents disapproval, she began performing. At 17 she also enlisted in the U.S Navy, and served working on jets and helicopters across the States and Japan.
Since then, with an incredible amount of support from fans and followers, Bella Poarch is now the worlds' third biggest TikTok star, with an impressive 66 million followers and counting. She also holds the record for most likes on a TikTok with a whopping 50 million likes.

REVIEW – Tomi Saario Drops EP 'I Think We Need To Talk'
BXB LOVE Shares 'IGNORANCE SONG'


Harald Nugiseks was born in Vanaõue farm in Karjaküla village, Särevere, Järva County in the middle of Estonia. The former "Eesti Sõna" (Estonian Word) described the road to Vanaõue in the following way: "The albescent highway ribbon weaves between the blossoming fields, disappearing from time to time in the shadows of blue forests, and then continues meandering past blossoming shamrock fields and meadows and the farms that are sinking in greenness. The wavy landscape of South Järva County opens new views after every turn of the road and behind every single coppice…A nd when the river that sometimes winds next to the highway every now and then shows its smooth as glass face that is framed by alders, you know you are in Karjaküla (village)."
Already the name of the farm gives a hint of its ancientness. Harald, his brother Avelinus and sister Linda were the eleventh generation of Nugiseks who lived in the 70-acre farm that had 30-acres of farmland. The people of Vanaõue had planted their roots so deep into the ground and through that learned to love the land, work and farm, the same way as happened to another man from Järva County – Vargamäe Andres, whom the whole Estonia knows through written word by writer Anton Hansen Tammsaare.
At the beginning of the previous century the landlord's right had reached August Nugiseks and his wife Kata. The kids were born right after each other. First the daughter Linda, then the son Avelinius and right after the First World War, on October 22, 1921, the family's youngest son Harald. And on that autumn day no one could predict what this boy will have to go through.
At first everything went according to its natural path, just like it was supposed to. The fields needed to be ploughed, the herd needed to be taken care of, the hay mowed with scythe and children had to go to school. And when the time was right, Harald received his first reading book and went to school on Saturdays. When the elementary school was finished, father had his own plans with his son in connection with the ancient Vanaõue farm and its future. The son was supposed to become an educated farmer and that was probably the reason why he was sent to Türi High School of Gardening near home.
Was it a twist of faith or simply a big coincidence: Harald's deskmate for two years in Türi school was none other but the future Soviet army's colonel Peeter Gross. It is unlikely that these two young men spoke of the war, even more unlikely that they spoke of the fact that one day they will be standing on either side of the front where the war's iron law is the only thing that matters.
Nevertheless, Harald did not finish the school in Türi and went to Paide Trade School in 1939 when the big war had already began and the world was starting to divide into two. The two horrific years – 1940 and 1941 – were fast approaching.

Q: How would I track one person liked something? For instance a video Say for instance you are tracking whether or not a person has Liked a video.
If you're logged in well, that's easy enough, when you like a video add a new row in your table with that userId.
The problem arises when you try to track anonymous person.
I tried to approaches.

*

*by ip:
works kinda OK, but the problem is that if you send a video to 100 people inside the same building you can only like it once as all of them have the same IP

*by session:
works kinda OK too but every time you close the browser a new session is created therefore you can spam-like if you keep doing this (honestly this is the lesser of the problems)

right now I'm going with the session solution but I wonder if there's a better/easier way?

A: You're using Laravel. I'd probably approach this using the session class, more specifically memcached or redis, I prefer the latter. Store session with vid id and check for the session when rendering view, let it expire after a day or a few hours or never. If it exists, re-create - if not, do null.
redis will also allow you to make more fine tuned queries. For example, to see how many views a video has, etc. But something like this may be more appropriate in database form.

A: You can check user by MAC address.
<?
ob_start();
system('ipconfig /all');
$mycom=ob_get_contents();
ob_clean();

$findme = "Physical";
$pmac = strpos($mycom, $findme);
$mac=substr($mycom,($pmac+36),17);

echo $mac;
?>

To our surprise the island was well watered.
The fishes were strangely easy to catch
And the little pigs that gambolled around
In the interior provided nourishment,
As well as fun for my fellow castaways.
The weather was persistently benign,
Stroking our hair and murmuring white noise.
Though my spyglass had suffered from the sea
I could still use it for scanning the waves,
Hoping for a sail or even a monster.
Meantime I memorised our days in paradise
And the little that happened, looking forward
To the book I should write when we were rescued –
A more or less truthful tally of events,
Spiced up or embroidered as need might be.
At night the land crabs rattled round the palms
And the waves were bored by the same old beach.
Peterkin snored guilelessly in our hut
While Jack dreamed in silence about his pig-sticking
And I stared out to sea with an empty mind.
That was before the coming of the cannibals
And our unforeseen arrival at manhood,
When things that should not be seen were seen
And could not be unseen, and our green Eden
Receded into a book for small boys.
by Fergus Allen
Together with the Institute of English Studies in London, the Poetry Centre is organizing a conference from 13-14 March 2015 at the IES to address the three initiatives: New Generation Poets (1994), Next Generation Poets (2004), and Next Generation Poets 2014. It aims to examine important concerns of contemporary poetry arising from these projects, such as the relationship between poetry and the public, the promotion of poetry through initiatives such as these, and what the selection of the particular poets on these lists can tell us about the state and direction of British poetry at various stages over the past twenty years. For more information and the call for papers, please visit the IES website.
'Coral Island' is copyright © Fergus Allen, 2013, and is reprinted from New & Selected Poems, introduced by Christopher Reid (CBeditions, 2013).
Fergus Allen was born in 1921; his father was Irish, his mother English. After graduating from Trinity College, Dublin, he moved to England during the Second World War. He was Director of the Hydraulics Research Station and ended his professional career as First Civil Service Commissioner. In 2000 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. He published his first book (with Faber) at the age of seventy-two; the poem here is one of several recent poems that comprise the first section of his New& Selected Poems, which also includes work from five previous collections. You can read more poems from the book on the CBe website, read more about Allen's work from the CBe blog, and hear him read at the Poetry Archive.

Focused on treating patients with life-threatening illnesses or injuries, our critical care physicians and nurses have received national recognition for their skills and expertise.
Critical Care is led by our ICU team of board-certified doctors called intensivists. The physicians are supported by a highly trained specialty staff, including respiratory therapists and registered nurses specially trained in the care of critical patients. The Critical Care Unit recently received the Beacon Award for Excellence in Critical Care. The Beacon Award is a national award given by the American Association of Critical Care Nurses. Recipients of the award need to meet or exceed rigid quality standards based on proven indicators of excellence.
Cardiothoracic intensive care provides critical care to patients with acute ischemic heart disease, including those with acute myocardial infarction, severe heart failure and life-threatening arrhythmias, as well as open heart, PCI (angioplasty/stents), trauma, neurosurgical and surgical patients.
We embrace a collaborative approach to patient care through a multidisciplinary team led by an intensivist. This team includes nurses skilled in the latest technologies and therapies, such as the use of induced hypothermia in cardiac arrest.
