MadWorld è un videogioco di tipo beat 'em up del 2009, uscito per Nintendo Wii, sviluppato da Platinum Games e prodotto da SEGA.

Trama
Il protagonista è Jack Cayman, ex-agente di polizia con una motosega sul braccio destro che viene mandato a partecipare al "DeathWatch", evento molto simile alle olimpiadi in cui lo scopo principale è uccidere evitando di essere uccisi; il tutto viene costantemente ripreso da un network televisivo (con tanto di telecronaca sboccata), quasi la parodia di un reality-show. All'inizio del gioco ci troveremo a Jefferson Island, un'isola la cui popolazione è stata colpita da un virus misterioso. Jack lotta e si sposta attraverso i livelli alla ricerca dell'antidoto ma scopre via via che dietro la vicenda si cela un intrigo colossale.

Modalità di gioco
In MadWorld ci si muove utilizzando lo stick analogico del Nunchuk, mentre per eseguire le varie mosse è necessario utilizzare il Wiimote; è possibile eseguire delle "mosse finali" (simili alle fatality di Mortal Kombat) che ci permetteranno di ottenere un punteggio più alto. In ogni livello bisogna raggiungere un certo punteggio per accedere alla sfida con il boss e per sbloccare nuove armi da far usare a Jack; saranno presenti in quasi tutti i livelli le "BloodBath Challenge" nelle quali dovremo uccidere i nemici nei modi più stravaganti per guadagnare punti extra. Si può inoltre giocare con un amico cercando di stabilire il punteggio più alto nelle "BloodBath Challenge" sbloccate in precedenza.

Arene e Boss

Varrigan City
Central Station: la stazione metropolitana di Varrigan City, trasformata in un'arena mortale. Presenta diverse battaglie Bloodbath, quali il Turbinator, reattore d'aereo dove lanciare gli avversari, o il Rocket Reamer, treno che passa ad altissima velocità, investendo tutto e tutti. Il boss è Little Eddie, un gigante infantile, armato di palla chiodata e dotato di una forza fisica immensa. Jack lo uccide colpendolo ripetutamente sulla faccia con la sua stessa arma, per poi colpirlo fortemente sulla testa facendola entrare nella cassa toracica.

Downtown: le sfide presenti sono la Death Press, ossia una pressa gigante dove bisogna lanciare più nemici possibili prima che si abbassi, e per la prima volta compare il ManDarts, ossia un gigantesco bersaglio da freccette dove le freccette saranno appunto i vostri avversari. Il boss è Jude The Dude, un cow-boy armato di due pistole e pattini a lame. Jack lo finisce rubandogli le pistole e sparandogli fino a quando il busto rimane privo di carne.

Il motivo per la quale è stata tagliata probabilmente è perché risultava meno spettacolare di quella usata per la versione definitiva.

Comparto tecnico
MadWorld somiglia molto al Sin City di Frank Miller per lo stile grafico, e il protagonista molto somigliante con il personaggio Marv di Sin City.
il gioco infatti è completamente in bianco e nero, ad eccezione del sangue che è ovviamente rosso. Riprende anche lo stile dei B-movie e del genere distopico, come Anno 2000 - La corsa della morte, di cui riprende la violenza come reality show a punteggio, o 1997: Fuga da New York. Da quest'ultimo in particolare il gioco sembra riprendere l'idea della città usata come "contenitore per criminali" (nel film Manhattan era un carcere di massima sicurezza, in MadWorld è un'arena di gioco), il personaggio carico di humour nero ed il finale. La motosega al braccio di Jack, invece, potrebbe essere ispirata dal film L'armata delle tenebre. Secondo la critica specializzata, MadWorld offre il miglior comparto tecnico della sua generazione, soprattutto per lo stile e il design in stile graphic novel, uno stile ormai usato raramente con l'avvento del fotorealismo e del 3D nel panorama videoludico.

Ispirazione
Il DeathWatch presenta molte somiglianze con il Programma del romanzo Battle Royale e dell'omonimo manga: in entrambi i casi i partecipanti sono su un'isola senza via di fuga, e si dovranno uccidere l'un l'altro finché non ne sopravviverà uno a cui sarà concessa la libertà; inoltre sono tenuti costantemente d'occhio dagli organizzatori e perdono la vita nel caso si rifiutino di uccidere gli avversari.

Vendite
Il gioco, estremamente violento e pregno di linguaggio scurrile, è rivolto principalmente ad un pubblico adulto e può risultare un po' complesso anche a causa della sua impostazione che ricorda i picchiaduro a scorrimento dell'era dei giochi a 8 e 16 bit. Al lancio MadWorld ha venduto poco più di  copie nel mondo (escluso il Giappone dove è stato messo in vendita alcuni mesi dopo), ma le vendite non si sono arrestate subito e il gioco è arrivato a vendere più di  copie a livello mondiale, segnando un eccellente risultato vista la particolarità e l'originalità del gioco.

Mega Fortune is the game that offers the largest pooled jackpot on the market and is probably one of the most well known slots online. Every time someone is playing at the slot the progressive jackpot called Mega increases. It is developed by Net Entertainment and it offers a luxury theme that reveals what the players gonna get when they hit the win of their dreams. Except for the extreme jackpot, there is also two local jackpots. 2013 the jackpot was incredibly €17,8 millions when it was won by a player in Finland. It was a new record in the history of slot machines and even got a place in Guinness book of world records. Mega Fortune is a slot that could make you incredibly rich with a little bit of luck. Maybe you are the next person to break the record on this one?
This slot consists of five reels and twenty five pay-lines. You can choose among four bet levels and set a coin value between €0,01 and €0,5. You also choose how many of the twenty five pay-lines that you want to play on. Only the highest win get paid, even if you win on several pay-lines. The maximum bet is €50 if you play with the highest coin value, all pay-lines and on level four. The symbol with the highest value is the racer boat, five boats in a row give you 10 000 coins. The limousine gets a second place with 1000 coins for five in a row. The repayments percentage in this slot is as always when it comes to slots from NetEnt high, 96,4.
In this videoslot there are a lot of features that will help you increase your money. Let's start with the scatter symbols. The scatter symbols will always pay you after how many symbols there are. If you get three of them, you also get some free spins. When you get three of them you have to click on one of the scatter symbols that will reveal how many free spins you have won. Once you have gotten your free spins, a multiplier is shown.
The multiplier will multiple your wins during the free spins, it will multiple with lowest x2 and highest x5. The multiplier does not work if you should win several free spins during a free spin. If you get two or more scatter symbols during a free spins you will either win more free spins, or your multiplier will get a higher level. The wild symbol in Mega Fortune is the racer boat that we already mentioned. The racer boat is a substitute for all the other symbols except for the scatter symbols, if a winning combination is possible.
If you get more then three bonus symbols, from left to right, you can get the chance to play a bonus game. This is what you really want to happen when you play this slot. In the bonus game you will get a huge spinning wheel in front of you, the wheel consists of two smaller wheels on top of it. When the first and outer wheel spins, you can decide when you want it to stop. You can either win money or the wheel can stop on an arrow, which points in to the next wheel. In the next wheel the money prizes has increased, and you can win the same prizes here.
If you land on the arrow on this wheel to, you now have the chance on the big win, the only thing that you have been waiting for. The wheel furthest in will give you a huge money win or the Mega jackpot. To win the Mega jackpot you have to be playing on all twenty five pay-lines. You could definitely call this wheel the "wheel of fortune". As soon as you win on one of the wheels the bonus game end, so of course you want it to go all the way in to the last wheel.
In the bonus game you can win one of three progressive jackpots. They are called Rapid, Major and Mega. Mega is the only one who is connected to the network from Net Entertainment. The other two builds up form the player at the casino that you are playing at. While Mega is build by the players from all of the sites, that's why the jackpot can grow to become so extremely huge. When it is shared by several casinos it also means that the winner can be a player from any of the casinos. The Mega jackpot, as we have mentioned, increases with every spin played in any casino, in any part of the world.
It is won on an average every 14 weeks and the average payout exceeds 4 000 000 euros. The two smaller jackpots, Rapid and Major, increases every time someone at the casino plays at the slot. It can vary a lot depending on which casino you play at, if the jackpot has been won in a few hours or a few weeks ago. Therefore you should search a little among the different casinos to see which of them that currently offer the largest Rapid and Major jackpots for maximum value.
The theme in this slot is luxury and vanity. The symbols are all shaped like things connected to a rich and fancy lifestyle. Champagne bottles, bundles, designer watches, diamond rings, limousines and racing boats are all battling for the positions on the slot. The champagne bottles are the scatter symbols, and the wild symbols are the race boats. As always Net Entertainment deliver a graphic that is nice and smooth to the eye. The excitement is made in both sound, graphics and of course the feeling that you might win the jackpot. The slot is also available on mobile devices, which mean that you can score from everywhere!

Q: how to get input from scanner to my private viarable string in another class? this is my first assignment, how to get input from scanner to  my private viarable string in another class?

*

*Create Author class as the description mentioned below.(i already done it)

*Create a test class called TestAuthor to test all the public methods in class Author. Below
is the example of the output.

the questions
this is my author code
package assignment1;

public class Author {

    //attribute of the class
    private String name;
    private String email;
    private char gender;

    //constructor
    public Author(String name, String email, char gender) {

        this.name = name;
        this.email = email;
        this.gender = gender;
    }

    //methods
    public String getName() {

        return name;
    }

    public String getEmail() {

        return email;
    }

    public void setEmail(String newEmail) {

        this.email = newEmail;

    }

    public char getGender() {

        return gender;

    }
    //method to get data from author object
    public String toString() {

        return "Author[name="+name+", email="+email+", gender="+gender+"]";

    }

}

this is my testauthor
and i get this error
'The method getName() in the type Author is not applicable for the arguments (String)'

package assignment1;

import java.util.Scanner;  // Import the Scanner class

public class TestAuthor {

    public static void main (String[] args) {

        //test constructor
        Author newAuthor = new Author();

         Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
         System.out.println("Please enter name : ");
         String name = input.nextLine();
            newAuthor.getName(name);
            System.out.println("Name : "+newAuthor.getName());

    }

}

TIA

A: You need to add setter method for name property in Author class like this:
package assignment1;
public class Author {
//attribute of the class
private String name;
private String email;
private char gender;

//constructor
public Author(String name, String email, char gender) {

    this.name = name;
    this.email = email;
    this.gender = gender;
}

//methods
public String getName() {

    return name;
}

public void setName(String name){
  this.name = name;
 }

public String getEmail() {

    return email;
}

public void setEmail(String newEmail) {

    this.email = newEmail;

}

public char getGender() {

    return gender;

}
//method to get data from author object
public String toString() {

    return "Author[name="+name+", email="+email+", gender="+gender+"]";

}

}
In TestAuthor class you need to call setter to set value then call like this :
package assignment1;
import java.util.Scanner;  // Import the Scanner class
public class TestAuthor {
public static void main (String[] args) {

    //test constructor
    Author newAuthor = new Author();

     Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
     System.out.println("Please enter name : ");
     String name = input.nextLine();
        newAuthor.setName(name);
        System.out.println("Name : "+newAuthor.getName());

}

}

A: thank you for the help, i got the answer
this is my testAuthor file
package assignment1;

import java.util.Scanner;  // Import the Scanner class

public class TestAuthor {

    public static void main (String[] args) {

        //set variables()
        String name;
        String email;
        char gender;

        //Scanner input object
        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

        //get user input
        System.out.println("Please enter Name : ");
        name= input.nextLine();

        System.out.println("Please enter Email : ");
        email= input.nextLine();

        System.out.println("Please enter Gender : ");
        gender= input.nextLine().charAt(0);

        //
        Author newAuthor = new Author(name,email,gender);
        name = newAuthor.getName();
        email = newAuthor.getEmail();
        gender = newAuthor.getGender();

        //output toString
        System.out.println(newAuthor.toString());

        //set new email
        System.out.println("Please change Email : ");
        String newEmail= input.nextLine();
        newAuthor.setEmail(newEmail);

        //output
        System.out.println("Name : "+newAuthor.getName());
        System.out.println("Email : "+newAuthor.getEmail());
        System.out.println("Gender : "+newAuthor.getGender());

    }

}

InfoQ Homepage News Spring Boot Goes GA
Spring Boot Goes GA
Dan Woods
Pivotal, last week, announced the first general availability release of their Spring Boot framework. The release comes after 18 months of development on the framework that decorates the popular Spring IO platform with simplifications that are are geared toward developer productivity.
Boot was originally introduced to the Java development community in the day's leading up to last year's SpringOne 2GX conference. It was popularized most heavily after Spring Security team lead, Rob Winch, posted an entire Spring Framework 4.0 application in a tweet. The catalyst for Boot was originally an issue reported on the Spring Framework's JIRA, which intended to outline architectural design for containerless, Spring-backed web applications.
As a component member of the Spring IO platform, Boot resides within the "IO Execution" layer, which is allocated for domain-specific runtimes that utilize the platform's full scope. The framework's mission statement is to provide a development experience that makes it "easy to create stand-alone, production-grade Spring based Applications that you can 'just run'" with "absolutely no code generation and no requirement for XML configuration". To facilitate this, Boot provides fixtures atop Spring Framework 4.0, and takes an opinionated, convention-over-configuration approach to bootstrapping an application's runtime context. This allows the framework to provide an embedded runtime container, along with configuration for mapping controllers, without the need for a more-traditional web.xml configuration file. The framework also provides opinionated fixtures for building container-less web applications, by supplying plugins for both Maven and Gradle, which are capable of producing an embedded, runnable JAR file. Details for building web applications with Spring Boot are available in the framework's comprehensive reference manual.
InfoQ caught up with the Spring Boot team to ask them questions about the framework and the latest release. We started at the most-fundamental level by asking them why they decided to pursue containerless web applications. They responsed:
- Little to configure to get coding
- More functional deployment unit - boot builds a configured tomcat/jetty right into the JAR file!
- Self contained executables, running them as simple as: java -jar
- Cloud, PaaS, Virtualization friendly
The team expounded on the last bullet-point by noting:
Generally speaking, containerless web apps are very much aligned with the spring philosophy of being self-contained, portable. Since today's PaaS environments provide much of the management, scale out, and reliability features already, Boot is left free to focus on developer happiness, and lightweight metrics, reporting, and an ultra light container. Great for application or service deployment in the cloud, where the BYOC (Bring your own container) is a natural PaaS approach, pioneered by Heroku, and embraced by CloudFoundry.
Containerless deployments are not a strict-requirement of the framework. Applications can still leverage the opinionated, convention-over-configuration approach that Boot offers, while deploying to their application server of choice. The team made reference to this by stating, "If you want a container, no problem! Boot's war files can be deployed to any Servlet 3.0-compliant application container. Some compliant containers include Tomcat 7+, Jetty 8, Glassfish 3.x, JBoss AS 6.x/7.x, and Websphere 8.0."
When asked what they felt was the most compelling part of Spring Boot for new adopters, the team responded, "The groundbreaking level of production-ready productivity it enables, combined with the breadth of what boot can offer via the rest of the Spring IO platform. Spring Boot isn't a stripped down version of Spring, but production ready Spring - that can integrate with any other part of the platform, as well as Groovy/Grails." They went on to reinforce their confidence in the framework's production- and cloud-rediness by commenting, "we run our own website on it, which serves documentation to millions of Spring developers worldwide". The Spring.io website is a reference project for Spring Boot, which was open-sourced last month under the codename "Project Sagan".
We asked how Boot has affected Spring adoption, and they responded that they'd received a wide array of feedback from "dyed-in-the-wool, hardcore Ruby/Rails programmers to other JVM users". Specifically, they'd seen "record all time high numbers (since ~2004) after the announcement of Boot", which included "a landslide of web traffic, maven downloads, StackOverflow questions, Google searches, indeed.com jobs, and YouTube channel views that outpace even the Java YouTube channel."
When we asked them what they felt the future of Spring Boot is for the Enterprise Java ecosystem, the team countered by offering that they felt the question should be more "what is the future of the Enterprise Java ecosystem?". They explained that:
The new PaaS era has arrived, which will rapidly sharpen the already flat to declining appserver market curve. Boot removes tedious boilerplate Java code for about 80% of cases, and encourages small, simply focused services that are ideal for cloud / PaaS deployments. Boot provides as much as possible out of the box for your app in production (metrics, JMX, CraSHd shell integration, easy security, etc.) so that getting the code right is the only responsibility you care about.
They went on to note that, "Java 8 has finally arrived, and Boot could easily become a rallying point for any JVM developer who wants the ease-of-use that they've seen/heard about with other languages and frameworks." From an Enterprise position, the team said that they'd seen "a lot of organizations developing small, extremely simple services today that are ideal for cloud / PaaS deployments, and Boot/Spring is the perfect BYOC (bring-your-own-container) strategy," though they mentioned that Boot can still "bridge to existing infrastructure, and full blown complex Enterprise Java - all the way back to JDK 6".
From the Spring Boot team's perspective, Boot is most ideal for applications that are designed as:
- a preferred buildpack for deploying apps to PaaS like CloudFoundry
- a preferred micro service / REST service development platform
- a rich, integrated backend for mobile application services
- a runtime for other JVM languages and frameworks (Groovy, perhaps Grails)
More details for developing Spring Boot applications as micro-services can be found in the article, Exploring Micro-frameworks: Spring Boot, which was published on InfoQ last month. Additional resources for developing applications with Spring and Spring Boot can be found under the Guides section of the Spring.io website.

We've been exceptionally happy with SpringBoot and find it probably more significant than the Spring 4.0 upgrade. Very excited that it's now GA!

Read the entry at the link above and see for yourself how this woman thinks and writes and why so many of us love and respect her for it.
In the mainstream media right now, politics is a long, drawn-outgame of "gotcha", and the result is that everyone who wants to be in politics is scared to ever say anything interesting or thoughtful for fear that it will be taken out of context and used relentlessly to discredit them. The result is that ordinary people are routinely turned off to politics, to the point where getting more than half of registered voters to vote in any one election is considered some sort of amazing victory.
This is where blogs step in, at least on the left. Blogging is a real counterpoint to the thoughtless, elitist, soundbite-driven mainstream media, where we're supposed to absorb an endless stream of soundbites and photo ops and our participation is limited mostly to a vote every couple of years. Blogs are bringing back the 19th century debate culture, where people would attend real debates and political rallies and listen to speeches for hours at a time. The irony about the vulgar people is that the vulgar people crave analysis, debate and participation, because these things validate our intelligence and our right to be citizens. The blogs are still appealing only to a small segment of society right now, but they're still relatively new and have the potential to reach a much larger audience over time.
She nails both the MSM for its complicity in the current state of politics and blogging on the left for attempting reparation of the same. Of couse, this is exactly why the MSM wants to squelch the bloggers and why they cooperated with the wingnuts in presenting a skewed story that really had nothing at all to do with bigotry or religion and everything to do with power and politics.
Good on you, Andrea. Keep up the good fight!

A horrific tale of sexual abuse and torture spanning more than 15 years is detailed in a mountain of criminal charges filed this week against a western Wisconsin man.
The victim — a 19-year-old woman now living in the Sheboygan area — was brutally and repeatedly raped from age 4 until last Christmas, according to criminal complaints charging the man with 22 counts of sexual assault.
"The law enforcement personnel that are involved with this case — no matter what their tenure is — believe this to be the most severe case any of them have ever seen … from the length of time to the severity of the (sexual assaults)," said Capt. Dave Adams of the Sheboygan County Sheriff's Department.

had to research for your story?
I've researched everything from Western esotericism to cyberbullying. Choosing the coolest is a little like naming my favorite book, but I'll try.
A number of years ago I wrote a short story about Monhegan, an island off the coast Maine. I like to visit the places I write about, but this wasn't possible with Monhegan. Instead, I visited the island via YouTube. I watched scores of videos and walked the entire island—from town and cemetery to woods and fairy houses—virtually. Below is one of many videos of the island ferry I studied. That I came away from this one seasick only added reality to the research experience.
On to the day's business. This is a watershed post for me. May 2017 marks my tenth anniversary as a blogger. A decade ago, I wrote my first post. That first blog (2007-2009) wasn't about writing. Instead, it was a learning exercise where, three times a week, I posted flash fiction.
My second blog (2009-2011) focused on the writing trials and challenges of the fledgling author. More therapy than blog, I posted about my personal experiences researching agents, querying, submitting, and needless to say, those all important rejections.
Finally, after a nine month hiatus, came blog number three, this blog (2012-present). I wanted Writer in Progress to be more dialog than essay—a conversation about the writing path.
But, as the saying goes, change is life's only constant. The truth is, I stopped writing in January. I am no longer on the path. The change feels permanent, although I know better than to put my faith in forever. Still, the care and feeding of Writer in Progress seems hypocritical. I realize this doesn't technically qualify as an IWSG post, but I wanted to explain why I will be putting the blog to bed.
Sure, I could change my mind tomorrow. Wouldn't be the first time. But today I just want to extend my appreciation for your friendship and support over the years.
Before closing out, I want touch upon the passing of fellow blogger and writer, Melissa Bradley. Melissa's intelligence, humor, fiery spirit, and warm heart inspired not only her friends and family but the entire writing/blogging community. The universe is a darker place without her.

San Diego Plumbers Participate in Local "Ride for Kids" Fundraising Event
Blog-Plumbing-San Diego Plumbers Participate in Local "Ride for Kids" Fundraising Event
Plumbing 09/30/14
Employees from the Bill Howe Family of Companies ride for a cause
September 29, 2014 San Diego, Calif. –Bill and Tina Howe, owners of well-established San Diego plumbing, HVAC and restoration company, know the importance of giving back to the community and have shared their own "pay-it-forward" spirit with their employees. From volunteering at the local food bank and local fundraising events to participation in organizations that are important individually, the team of San Diego plumbers at Bill Howe is eager to get involved in community outreach.
San Diego Ride for Kids is part of a national series of motorcycle rides benefitting the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. Ride for Kids began in 1984, a time when there was little hope for those diagnosed with pediatric brain tumors. There was little research, and treatments did not guarantee children would survive to adulthood. Motorcyclists and Ride for Kids have helped to change that realty for PBTF offering family friendly, fun-filled ride events taking place in 37 locations across the country. As of September 2014, Ride for Kids 2014 has raised over $2.5 million for the foundation.
This is the first year that the Bill Howe Family of Companies has sponsored the event. Spearheaded by Chief Technical Officer, Mark Card, a group of five San Diego plumbers joined on Saturday with their motorcycles. Additionally, Mark brought his sidecar and was able to bring one of the kids in attendance along for the ride. "It was exciting to be a part of the San Diego Ride for Kids this year," said Mark. More than 500 riders attended the San Diego event and raised a total of $13,352.
"We were very proud of all of our team members and the many foundations they want to support," said Tina Howe, Vice President of the Bill Howe Family of Companies. "We have built into our own mission the importance of community outreach and charitable giving, and to see our employees pick up the banner of "giving back" means we are succeeding in reaching our goals."

What David says about us
Service for new garbage disposal. My ancient garbage disposal quit working, went online to get Bill Howe's number, immediately received and accepted chat to describe my needs. Prompt call back to schedule an appointment, service tech Allen was out same morning, which was important to fit my work schedule. Job estimate was clear, work done fully to my expectations, area left clean, and price was very fair.
I was not surprised — I have used Bill Howe plumbers for several other tasks in the past. I have always found their staff to be helpful, attentive, and the plumbers very courteous and capable.
What Michelle says about us
I have been using Bill Howe since the late 1980's, their service has always been excellent, plumbing, heating and restoration. I am most impressed by the integrity of their employees, not only do they know their work/skill, they do not waste time, they are so efficient, they are so helpful and they are a true "service"!
What Mira says about us
Bill Howe never fails us! We had a drain overflow, and Scott came (on a Saturday) to look at it and offer solution. He was punctual, professional, and extremely helpful. I should also praise the main office for always being helpful and always finding solutions. Very grateful to have you in San Diego!
What Ed Gohlich says about us
Cory was our technician on this job. We had a time sensitive repair issue and Bill Howe understood and assisted with getting the job done quickly.
Cory was on time to start the job and finished it quickly. Upon his leaving our home he's was courteous, very knowledgeable, explaining what the problem was and how he fixed it. Very good communication and this is the way it's has always been when we use Bill Howe plumbing.
Thanks Cory.
What Eric says about us
I had a shower that would not drain. The employee arrived on time and fixed the problem quickly and effectively at a very fair price. I was very happy with everything. Thank you and I highly recommend your plumbing service.
What Bridgett says about us
I am extremely happy with the service we received from Bill Howe Plumbing. We were given an incorrect diagnosis of our main sewer line from another vendor, but Bill Howe's servicemen came out for a second opinion, correctly diagnosed our problem and resolved our back up issues. We will continue to use Bill Howe for all our future plumbing needs!
Thank you Bill Howe Plumbing.

Boise To Bukavu, Inc. was started by Ruth and Keith York in Boise, Idaho. It is a community organization that helps African refugees create successful, self-sustaining futures. We work locally within Boise to assist our own community with understanding the assimilation needs of refugees. We also assist the Nshombo family of Kampala, Uganda with daily sustenance, educational and vocational needs – in the U.S. and Africa. We are a nonprofit organization working under the umbrella of Karitas Foundation, a 501c3 organization assisting with a variety of humanitarian needs around the world. Please visit their webpage at www.karitasfoundation.org .
(Keith and Ruth are living in Jackson Hole, but continuing the work of Boise to Bukavu from here).
When we first started this website I scoured the internet looking for an image that evoked the right emotion. Although none of the work we do is directly with refugee camps, that reality is the common denominator in the lives of those we are aiming to help. I found this image on google and, at the time, did a search (admittedly brief) to try to find out where it came from. Although I didn't get an answer, I chose to use it anyways with the idea that before too long we'd find an 'official' image to use.
While for some information on the economic challenges of refugee life in Uganda I stumbled upon a photo-journalist's blog, Scarlett Lion, that had me mesmerized. That blog linked to another blog and, ultimately, to the website of Glenna Gordon. Not only did I find a rich source of images and stories, I found the artist who had captured the image I was using.
We've been given permission to keep using this image, which excites me greatly. I hadn't fully allowed myself to get emotionally attached to this image because I always suspected we were going to have to find something else. Now that I know we can keep using it, and I've met (virtually) the artist, I'm convinced it was meant to be.
Several folks have asked if the picture was of Fidel, or of one of his siblings living in Uganda. It's not. The image, however, is of a boy living a life that Fidel and all of his siblings lived for much, if not most, of their lives thus far. And Fidel was not much older than this boy when he left his family and struck out on his own, for good. Thanks for asking.


After crazy weather in early spring, it's finally time to get out in the fields. We've gotten a lot of questions about spring nitrogen lately. Here are the frequently asked questions we get about nitrogen management this time of year.
1. If I applied spring anhydrous, how long after application should I wait to plant?
As long as there is separation between the anhydrous band and the seed, you can plant right after application. Anhydrous ammonia is a gas at the injection point and immediately after injection into soil the gas will expand and create a high ammonia and ammonium zone in a round shape roughly one to five inches in diameter. The size depends on various factors like soil moisture, texture, and rate of application, but in general, the vertical movement is about two inches towards the soil surface.
If you apply anhydrous at a seven-inch depth there is typically enough separation between the ammonia retention zone and where the seed is placed. Another option when using RTK is to apply anhydrous parallel to the future crop-rows but not directly under it. The biggest risk for ammonia injury, when planting right after application, is in coarse-textured soils because the retention zone tends to be larger, dry soils (not a problem this year), or excessively wet soils where you don't get a good seal or where the knife smears the soil surface.
2. Can I top-dress all of my nitrogen after the crop is planted?
Yes, we recommend top dressing for coarse textured soils. For medium and fine textured soils, there are a few factors to consider.
Applying a small amount of N as starter would provide risk management in case you are not able to get it applied as soon as planned.
If you've prepaid for ammonia it may be difficult finding equipment to apply after planting. With urea, you would need a urease inhibitor which adds cost and the same is true for UAN unless you inject the UAN.
We would only recommend top-dress for corn after soybeans. Corn after corn ideally needs one-third of the total N at planting. If only a starter rate of N (30 lb or less) is applied for corn after corn, begin applying top-dress as soon as you can row corn.
3. Should I be concerned about nitrogen tie-up when topdressing N under high residue systems?
There is a possibility of this happening, particularly if the weather turns out to be cool. This process is called "immobilization," and occurs when decomposing microbes take N out of the soil to "consume" residue. As the decomposition process advances, the nitrogen will release back into the soil to be used by the plants. The key is to avoid significant nitrogen deficiency stress if this happens. This is another instance where applying a small amount of N (30 lb./Ac.) as a starter would help avoid problems. Volatilization loss is a greater concern for urea than is immobilization, UAN has greater potential for immobilization than urea.
4. What is the best source of nitrogen to top-dress if I have to apply all my N after planting?
Any form of readily available N can be used. You can inject either UAN or anhydrous ammonia between rows to reduce plant injury. There is no advantage to trying to apply N close to the row since roots will grow into the row centers by the 4th leaf stage. It is also possible to apply N in every other row instead of every row without negatively impacting yield because every row will have N applied at one side or the other. You can also apply urea with a urease inhibitor (NBPT), UAN dribble on the surface. If you need to, you can apply UAN in a broadcast application when the crop is small to reduce the chance of leaf injury.
5. Should I consider an inhibitor?
It is important to understand that there are two types of inhibitors. Nitrification inhibitors delay the process of converting N in the ammonium form to nitrate. This is significant, as the nitrate form is subject to loss via denitrification (gassing off into the atmosphere), or leaching into groundwater. As the season progresses, the likelihood of loss decreases because the amount of time between application and plant use is shorter. This makes the instances of needing an inhibitor less likely. Additionally, as the soil warms the inhibitor will not keep its effect as long in the soil as compared to a fall or early spring application. The bottom line is there is nothing wrong environmentally with using a nitrification inhibitor at this time, but the likelihood of it paying for itself decreases by the day.
The other type of inhibitors are urease inhibitors. These are intended to prevent urea from volatilizing and disappearing into the air. The risk of volatilization happening is much greater when urea is top-dressed without incorporation. Use a urease inhibitor in this situation, unless you are certain that there will be a significant rainfall (at least 0.2 in.) in the 48 hours following an application.

Il Metal Machine Trio è un gruppo musicale formatosi nel 2008 per volere di Lou Reed, Ulrich Krieger e Sarth Calhoun.
La band suonava musica sperimentale improvvisata, spaziando in diversi generi quali il free rock, il free jazz, la musica minimale, il noise, l'elettronica, e l'ambient. Tutte le esibizioni del gruppo erano totalmente improvvisate.

Storia
Il nome del gruppo è un riferimento al controverso album rumoristico Metal Machine Music pubblicato da Reed nel 1975, che viene considerato uno dei dischi più provocatori di sempre. Il caotico magma sonoro contenuto in quell'album serve come riferimento di base per le improvvisazioni del Metal Machine Trio. Il programma ufficiale del concerto della band al Blender Theatre di New York recava la seguente dicitura: "No songs. No vocals" ("niente canzoni, niente voci"). La complessa proposta musicale del Metal Machine Trio include un approccio eclettico all'improvvisazione che include suoni elettronici, rumore, strumenti fortemente distorti e un ampio utilizzo di feedback, raga, droni, con occasionali riferimenti al rhythm and blues e alla musica heavy metal.

Il gruppo debuttò dal vivo al REDCAT di Los Angeles, il 2 e 3 ottobre 2008 con la denominazione "Unclassified: Lou Reed and Ulrich Krieger". Solo dopo queste esibizioni il trio prese il nome di Metal Machine Trio. Dalle due serate venne ricavato un doppio album su CD intitolato The Creation of the Universe, pubblicato il 22 dicembre 2008 dall'etichetta discografica Best Seat in the House di proprietà di Lou Reed. Il gruppo fece ulteriori esibizioni al Blender Theater di New York il 23 e 24 aprile 2009.

Il gruppo è attualmente inattivo causa la morte di Lou Reed avvenuta il 27 ottobre 2013.

SGS Operation Hawaii: The Invasion of Oahu Review
Counterfactuals can be a lot of fun if done well. SGS Operation Hawaii is one of those interesting ones that takes a reasonable, if unlikely, premise and explores the what-if through its gameplay. The result is a tight, entertaining game that I really wish had a physical board game release!
Counterfactual: Invading Hawaii
There was talk between the Japanese Army and Navy about the potential of landing ground forces on Oahu, but never really within the timeframe of the December 7 1941 air attack on Pearl Harbor. SGS Operation Hawaii does a clever thing in positioning the landing as a small scale operation, carried out by only 2 regiments, to wreak as much havoc as possible in the limited time they can be supplied. There was never really the cooperation this kind of invasion needed between both branches of the Japanese military. The army was reluctant to do anything to support a Naval led Southward Strike, and the Navy had to fight tooth and nail for the army support it did get for its invasions in South East Asia. Operation Hawaii supposes that the army could be convinced to give up a regiment for what could be a forlorn hope. This is reflected in how Operation Hawaii lays out its objectives and the overall shorter structure of the game. The key is to destroy as many military instillations as possible as the Japanese player.
What Makes Operation Hawaii Stand Out
First and foremost, SGS games are great for their exploration of less well known military campaigns. Operation Hawaii, as a counterfactual exploring an interesting what-if, fits into that mold. There are plenty of well researched and reasonable cards in both sides' decks that highlight the interesting confines of this potential campaign. From the Japanese potential use of ships of the Kido Butai to support attacks near the coast, to the US organization of citizens to dig trenches and build defenses, there are a lot of great cards that really sell the atmosphere.
There are also a good amount of strategic decisions for both sides to take at the beginning of the game. The Japanese player can choose where to focus their attack, and at the cost of victory points, how much support to commit to the attack. The US forces can choose their disposition (without knowing where the Japanese are coming from) and can influence their starting resources. There is a good bit of replayability as a result.
The actual action is fast and tight. There will be a lot of quick skirmishes followed up by a solid battle or two as the American forces form up to meet the Japanese attack. Therefore it becomes quickly apparent that this is a game of speed and deception. If the Japanese player can get around the US forces, they have a better chance of carrying out their objectives, if the US forces can react to and stop the Japanese, they can preserve their island and blunt the attack. It plays well.
This is a shorter game, on average, than most of the other SGS titles I played. My first campaign took 3 hours and my second 2. I do believe there is good enough replayability to make it worthwhile, and as I see this as a digital version of a board game, the heart of it is multiplayer, but be warned about campaign length.
I also encountered a few bugs in my pre-release version. Sometimes enemy planes wouldn't be grounded during rain turns when the game states they should be, and I was unsure if a couple cards failed to have the desired effect, or if it was merely a missing graphical indication. I did see, at the time of writing, that a decent sized patch has gone out for release, so I hope that these issues are resolved.
Operation Hawaii is an interesting, entertaining, and simple wargame that touches on a fascinating what-if and presents it in a playable fashion. I enjoyed both of my campaigns and will definitely play more. But buyers must be aware of the short time to play of each game. I think it's worth it, but ultimately I can't make that decision for you.
-Joe Fonseca
Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

The insidious effects of this so-called imperceptible flickering in the 100 to 150 Hz range are not just a function of frequency; physical and physiological factors also play a big part. For example, bright light is worse than dim, and the difference between "bright" and "dark" parts of the lighting pattern are important (a light that goes completely dark during the "off" part of the cycle is worse than one which only partially dims). Red light and alternating red and blue can be particularly troublesome, and the position of the light source on the retina is important, as light sensed by the center is worse than that falling on the periphery.

UK PM Theresa May unveils new Cabinet, appoints Damian Green as 'deputy'
June 12, 2017 by sana
London : Theresa May today appointed her close ally Damian Green as her first secretary of state while Priti Patel remained the senior-most Indian-origin Cabinet minister as the embattled British premier unveiled her new Cabinet after shock election results forced her to form a minority government.
Patel holds on to her position as the senior-most Indian-origin Cabinet minister and will remain in charge as the Secretary of State for international development in the new government.
The prime minister had already confirmed on Friday, soon after the general election results were confirmed, that five of her top-most Cabinet posts will remain unchanged including Philip Hammond as chancellor of the exchequer, Amber Rudd as home secretary, Boris Johnson as foreign secretary, David Davis as Brexit secretary and Michael Fallon in charge of the ministry of defence.
The remaining Cabinet posts are set for a reshuffle from her previous administration with key announcements including Green as her new first secretary of state, effectively seen as a deputy prime minister in terms of Cabinet seniority.
May and Green who backed Remain in the Brexit referendum have known each other since they were Oxford students together in the 1970s and he is considered one of her few close allies. In other early appointments, Greg Clark holds on to his job as secretary of state for business, energy and industrial strategy and David Gauke takes over as work and pensions minister.
Liam Fox stays in his post as Secretary of State for international trade, while Justine Greening has been re- confirmed as Secretary of State for Education. She additionally gets the portfolio as minister for women and equalities. Liz Truss appointed chief secretary to the treasury, with right to attend Cabinet and Pakistani-origin Sajid Javid keeps hold of his post as secretary of state for communities and local government.
David Lidington takes charge as Lord Chancellor and justice minister and Alun Cairns as the new secretary of state for Wales.
The PM has also kept Jeremy Hunt in his post as health secretary, Gavin Williamson is the new party Chief Whip or parliamentary secretary to the Treasury and Chris Grayling has been appointed transport minister.
The new Cabinet appointments are seen as May's attempt at surrounding herself with as many allies as possible against the backdrop of a brewing rebellion within party ranks after the Conservatives suffered heavy losses in the June 8 general election. Far from a forecast landslide majority, May has been left holding on to 10 Downing Street with diminished authority having lost her party its majority.

Music in every teenager's life
In Music Mania

"Without music, life would be a mistake",these words were once said by a great German Philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche. Music plays an important role in every teenager's life these days. It is available in various forms of genre like rap,gangsta,hip-hop,rock,metal etc have various impacts on teenagers. Each genre has its own dress code and attitude, which each teenager adopts to their lifestyle and identity.
At times, music reflects the innermost feelings of a teenager and at times helps in expressing certain emotions. This can be taken in different ways by different teenagers such as for some they find it relaxing,soothing and energizing while for some it is angering,emotional and violent. It is the basis for certain relationships among teenagers, people with similar taste in music become friends whereas people with different taste don't gel so well. Some end up arguing about who think it's better but it's just their own opinions.
Rap and Rock genres are the emerging trends among teenagers these days. This is because the singers of these genres mainly sing songs related to their personal lives and teenagers listening to these who are undergoing same type of situations relate themselves to the songs and also they develop hope thinking that there are other people in this world with the same type of problems being faced. Music gives exposure to teenagers by showcasing them different things and making them open-minded. We can say what kind of situation a teenager is going through, by knowing the type of music they listen to. We all have stories and memories tied to songs that have become a part of who are, because music plays an integral part of shaping our identity as we mature through life.
Surveys say that teenagers find music helpful to get over feelings like depression and break-ups, as it helps them persevere through the tough moments in life and sometimes floods with fond and bittersweet memories while listening to songs. It is said to be the best way to spend leisure time and it is now available through different sources.
Technology is also developing different sources and gadgets such as MP3 players, iPods, applications in mobile phones etc. There are wide range of software tools for teenagers to get engaged in music creation, developing lyrics for songs, making videos etc. Many researches conclude that music is to be developed by people at the adolescent period in order to develop themselves.
Music helps in fading away the feeling of loneliness among teenagers as it is considered to be a friend by them. It is suggested by researchers and doctors to listen music on a daily basis for a duration of 30 mins, as it helps in maintaining a good mood, gaining mental relief, stimulation of brain by keeping it active and decrease the amount of negativity in the minds. It is also noticed that teenagers listen to music at the highest volume which is harmful to the ear and brain and thus recommended to listen at a half volume (5-6 volume points).
Parents of teenagers feel that music is a destructive weapon in the lives of their children and it distracts their well going life. Some parents even blame music for their children's decline in marks. But this can't cited as the main reason because it depends on how the child is concentrated and interested in his studies. It is noticed that certain children and teenagers use music to solve subjects like Mathematics and Accountancy as they feel it a remarkable way to concentrate. Some parents are even against the child's wish of sporting a career in the field of music as they feel it destroys the life of their child by making them induced to different bad aspects like drugs,alcohol,sex and others. But by stopping teenagers to pursue a career in this field not only demotivates them but also leaves them with no choice, as their main talent is not accepted and motivated by their loved ones.
Life and career in the field of music has its own advantages and disadvantages but if the guidance and motivation of parents, teachers, friends and other loved ones is present there is no chance for any teenager or any category of person to fall prey for the disadvantages or threats of this career. Instead it would help them to chase their dreams, grab it and succeed in what they excel. Thus, it can be concluded that music plays an integral part in every teenager's life to help them mold themselves, build up a character and even pursue a career in.

Shopping for a car? Save big with an OpenRoad Demo Special
September 4th 2018 | Benjamin Yong
OpenRoad Demo Special vehicles come with a complete service history and balance of the original manufacturer warranty.
How does buying a current model year vehicle from the dealership with substantial savings automatically built-in sound? Then consider an OpenRoad Demo Special (ODS) when shopping for a car.
As the name implies, these are former service loaner and company executive vehicles that are in like-new condition. We spoke to Ahmed Abou-Shaaban, general sales manager at BMW Langley, who says anything sold under the ODS banner at their store has been meticulously reconditioned.
"There's an inspection checklist that we go through ensuring not only that the car is obviously up to safety standards, but cosmetically appealing as well. So if there's any curbed rims, bumper rash or blemishes of that sort, the items are all addressed before it's turned back to the sales department for us to display and sell," said Abou-Shaaban.
In order to qualify, the product must have less than 14,000 kilometres on them. Each dealer varies slightly — at BMW Langley for instance, the former demos are put up for sale after a maximum of 8,000 kilometres is reached. The exact amount of discount is different depending on the specific model and location, and any ODS offering is eligible for all financial incentives, programs and leases that would be applicable to a brand new vehicle.
Customers who have been into the Langley store have likely already seen an example sitting right on the showroom floor and may not have realized.
"While we typically we have every single one of our demos advertised online, along with the mileage and the savings that are currently being offered, they're clearly displayed here, or out on the patio, so people can come in person to touch and feel," he said, adding the current inventory consists of 3 Series, 4 Series, X1, X3 and even a few MINIs.
When asked whether there were any downsides to buying an ODS, Abou-Shaaban replied, "Absolutely not. For a little bit of mileage on the car the clients reap the benefits of added savings."

Rx cost-sharing saves money for retiree health plans
Employer health plans that charge retirees higher co-payments for retail pharmaceuticals saved an average of 18.7% per member in 2001.
Employer health plans that charge retirees higher co-payments for retail pharmaceuticals saved an average of 18.7% per member in 2001, but their enrollees' out-of-pocket costs were 59.4% higher, on average ($389 versus $244), according to a new study published on the Web site of the journal Health Affairs (www.healthaffairs.org).
Levels of aggressiveness
The authors studied prescription drug claims made by more than 29,000 retirees age 65 and older who were enrolled in 96 employer plans managed by one pharmacy benefit management firm, comparing prescription drug use and costs in a number of plan designs.
The authors categorized plans as "more aggressive" or "less aggressive," defined by whether they required an above-average or below-average co-payment for brand-name drugs, or whether they required coinsurance of more or less than 30% for brand-name drugs. For the "more aggressive" cost-sharing plans, average per-enrollee costs to the plan were $1,155 and average enrollee out-of-pocket costs were $389 in 2001. For the "less aggressive" plans, average per-enrollee plan costs were $1,421 and average enrollee out-of-pocket costs were $244 in 2001.
The role of generics
The study also found that enrollees are more likely to use generics when they fill their prescriptions at retail pharmacies under plans that have the greatest spread in co-payments between brand-name and generic drugs. This is particularly true in plans that make use of coinsurance, which as a percentage of the total cost, varies based on the total price of the drug, as opposed to a flat co-payment. For example, the authors found that in three-tier plans with a maximum 30% coinsurance for retail purchases and an actual co-payment difference of $15 between generic and brand-name drugs, 44.5% of prescriptions were generic. In a three-tier plan with a $5 to $10 difference between tiers, only 36.1% were generic. PR

Students urged to shun malpractices
Fisayo Akinduro,Osogbo
Students writing the West Africa Examination Council, WAEC, have been urged to shun all forms of malpractices during the examination.
Osun State Commissioner for Education, Folorunsho Oladoyin Bamisaye and Special Adviser to the State Governor on Education, Jamiu Olawumi gave the advice on Monday while monitoring the examination and level of compliance of schools and students to COVID-19 precautionary measures.
The Commissioner assured students and teachers that the administration of Governor Gboyega Oyetola will continue to strive to ensure that they don't stand a risk of contracting the novel Coronavirus during the exams.
Bamisaye who monitored the examination in about 15 schools in various local governments such as Ife central, Ife east, Ife south, Atakumosa west, Ilesha west and Ilesha East also commended the conduct of the students as well as their teachers during the examination.
He assured parents, teachers and students writing the examination that Oyetola's administration will continue to prioritize their health as well as ensuring that students in the state get quality education.
"The present administration will not relent in its efforts to deliver quality education despite the challenges posed by COVID-19, that's why we have provided protective materials for both students and teachers."
While addressing a cross section of students In Osogbo, Special Adviser on Education, Olawumi urged them to remain focused and upright.
The Senior Secondary School three started the examination with mathematics.
Officials of the state ministry of Education moved round various centres in Osogbo to monitor the examination and most importantly, the compliance with safety protocol as laid down by the NCDC.
The students who arrived as early as 8am in the morning were provided with water, soap and sanitizers by the management of their various schools before allowed access to the examination hall.
Olawumi promised that the ministry will continue to monitor the examination and the level of compliance everyday in all centres across the state.
Schools visited include: Grandeur School, Olode, Seventh Day Adventist School, Ile-Ife, Ife Anglican Grammar School, Ife, Methodist High School, Ilesa, Federal Government Science and Technical College, Ilesa among others.
Meanwhile, an Educationist, Isaac Eniola has also enjoined parents to give their children moral support during the examination.
Eniola stressed that this period is crucial for students writing exit examination and must be taken serious by parents and students.
He equally urged them to desist from all forms of malpractices, saying they had enough time to prepare for the examination.

SHE'S ALL THAT: In her prime, actress Nadean Rawlins is on a 'role'
GOLDEN RULE: "It's like magic," Rawlins says of being a performer.
Just like a certain three-time Oscar winner, Nadean Rawlins is up for awards year after year – but the novelty of the experience has still not worn off. By her own admission, Rawlins' continuing success as one of the finest Jamaican actresses of this generation has more to do with her natural gifts than any other possible factor.
"I know it sounds clichéd, but it is so humbling because what I have is a God-given talent, it's not like I'm tryin' a ting. It's so innate that when I go on the stage I just explode into this magic," says the seasoned actress, who is up for a pair of Actor Boy awards Monday – for her mesmerizing lead in Not About Eve and her fiery supporting role in Where Is My Father? "So to get these [Actor Boy] nominations now, even though it has happened so many times before, it feels like the first time." Indeed.
Given that Rawlins has all but conquered the realm of theatre, is there another area of the arts she is longing to take on next? "I always wanted to be a dancer," she tells TALLAWAH over the phone. "When I was in primary school I took dancing lessons and I started to learn dance techniques. But the dance teacher that I had recognized that there was something else in terms of my expression when I performed; she thought it was extraordinary. So I did speech and then I did drama. So I dove more into that part of it and pushed dance aside. But now I would really love to dance."
That aside, if there's one thing that's incredibly important to Rawlins it's passing on her knowledge to the imminent generation of actors. "I've been thinking of going back to my alma mater [Merl Grove High] next summer, because that's where I got my first award. I won Best Actress at the Secondary Schools' Drama Festival," she reveals. "I know that right now they are trying to revamp their drama club. So I'm thinking of discussing with them the idea of doing a summer programme with schools, starting with Merl Grove, and see where I can take it from there. Because judging Tallawah, I find that young people out there are really hungry and thirsty for theatre, and I want to see what I can do to help."
As for her next acting role, Rawlins (who has newly acquired a taste for tweeting and British Hello magazine) says there is nothing on the horizon at the moment. "Nothing in the pipeline right now, but I hope somebody will give me a call," she says with a laugh, adding that Where Is My Father? continues at the Little Little Theatre until the end of April, before the cast flies out for an overseas tour.

Public vs private accounting: similarities and differences
By Indeed Editorial Team
TwitterLinkedInFacebookEmail
The Indeed Editorial Team comprises a diverse and talented team of writers, researchers and subject matter experts equipped with Indeed's data and insights to deliver useful tips to help guide your career journey.
A role in accounting typically involves analysing, developing and presenting financial reports, ranging from tax returns to budgets for certain individuals or organisations. Public and private accountants are similar as they aid businesses to operate efficiently by working within a financial framework. Despite this, there are some distinct differences between public and private accountants, and knowing these differences can help keep you informed of what to look for when finding a job. In this article, we explain the differences between the two types of accountants and provide examples of careers to help you with your journey into this field.
Both public and private accounting involve some of the same day-to-day activities and usually have similar job descriptions. The average base salary for an accountant is £34,919. This average base salary can vary depending on factors like location and the type of accountancy you choose to pursue. Below, we give a general overview of public vs private accounting:
Private accounting
Private accountants typically work for a single company, the term private accounting refers to an individual working for a single person or organisation. Private accountants analyse and prepare financial reports internally. Their typical duties involve handling accounts payable and presenting clients with invoices. In the case of the company being audited, a public accounting firm may scrutinise the work of the private accounting department to ensure all practices are to a certain standard. Ultimately, a private accountant answers directly to the company. They create internal systems to record business transactions that can advise a company's financial statements.

Public accounting
Public accounting refers to a business or individual who helps a range of different clients by preparing financial documents; clients, in this case, can include both individuals and corporations. Public accounts are a third party that reviews the financial information of a company for public admission. Other duties include preparing tax returns, audits, consulting services and advising a certain body on taxes.

Key differences between public and private accounting
Both public and private accounting are similar, as they both involve the construction of financial statements and reports. Outside of this fundamental similarity, other differences may lead you to a different career path. Below are some of the main differences between these two types of accounting.
Public accounting involves evaluating financial documents for accuracy and fullness before the company makes them available to the public. Their role aims to validate the information provided by their client and provide transparency of their financial activities. Private accounting involves reviewing internal business documents related to their client, and they may also work with financial managers and become involved in budget planning and evaluating financial performance. Further duties for private accountants may include management reporting, including journal entries and account reconciliation.

Holding a bachelor's degree is desirable but not essential for accounting roles. All accountants need a minimum of an AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians) qualification to operate as an accountant. An AAT qualification consists of multiple components across three levels and provides you with subject knowledge and work skills. The next step for those interested in private accountancy may be the ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants). The ACCA provides a lot of opportunities for both private and public accountancy and even self-employment. This qualification covers corporate and business law alongside auditing.
Most public accountants start their career in entry-level positions and work their way up the hierarchy to more senior positions, including audit-partner. Similarly, private accountants start with entry-level jobs, with senior positions such as CFO (chief financial officer) being the end goal. Chartership is a viable option for all accountants looking to increase their wages significantly. The most popular Chartership qualification is the CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants) which is recognised in the UK and overseas.
January is the busiest time of the year, as the deadline for online tax returns is the 31st of the month. Tax season can often affect public accountants more, while private accountants may be busier at the end of a company's financial year. Another variance in the work environment is that public accountants have more unpredictable work environments and timetables. Public accountants may work with various clients, from individuals to corporations or government bodies. There may be a lot of travelling to company locations, which may lead to more time away from home. Private accountants often have set business hours.

Exposure and work experience
Working as a public accountant exposes you to different sectors and situations within the role. You may work for a government agency for one month and then validate a financial system in a private company the next. Private accountancy does not afford this diversity yet can provide you with a stable job in an office environment. It is much more commonplace for an accountant from a public firm to transfer to private work because of the amount of wide experience they have gained.
Public accountants interact with a variety of different clients, so it's important for them to have strong interpersonal and communication skills to use as part of the auditing process. Private accountants need similar levels of interpersonal skills, but the primary focus is interview skills and day-to-day interaction within an office environment. The principal skills for both public and private accountants include organisation, strong numeracy skills, the ability to meet deadlines, integrity and proficiency with the newest technologies.

Q: Can't scroll back after cat with mosh, tmux and iterm2 setup My setup is the following: https://filippo.io/my-remote-shell-session-setup
When I do apt-get update on my server I can see all the output and am also able to scroll back as I expect. When I do cat package.json I just can see the content fitting on my current terminal size and scrolling back does not work as expected. I end up somewhere in the middle of the output from the command before.
Is there a difference in the output of these two? And any idea how I can get scrolling back also to work with cat? I'm using OSX as my local machine and connect to an Ubuntu server.

A: There shouldn't be any difference between the output those two commands.
It's hard to say exactly what the issue is, but one thing you can try is using a pager to manually scroll through the contents of a file:
less package.json
