Q: Spring JDBC dependency issues I am trying to set up my project to use Spring JDBC and I am running into issues regarding dependencies.
In my pom file I got:
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-jdbc</artifactId>
    <version>4.3.2.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

And when I try to set up my spring.xml configurations for DriverManagerDataSource, I get an error that can't find the dependency.
<bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">

Also, I can't instantiate DriverManagerDataSource.

Seems like I need to add the following into my pom:
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-jdbc</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.5.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

but why? It already has 4.3.2.RELEASE version? Why does it also need 3.0.5 version?

A: First of all, don't use DriverManagerDataSource.

Only use the DriverManagerDataSource class should only be used for
  testing purposes since it does not provide pooling and will perform
  poorly when multiple requests for a connection are made.

http://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/jdbc/datasource/DriverManagerDataSource.html
Follow Spring examples and use BasicDataSource instead:
  <bean id="dataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource" destroy-method="close">
        <property name="driverClassName" value="${jdbc.driverClassName}"/>
        <property name="url" value="${jdbc.url}"/>
        <property name="username" value="${jdbc.username}"/>
        <property name="password" value="${jdbc.password}"/>
    </bean>

Impedance Spectroscopy has been used to analyse commercial Si photovoltaic solar cells, to obtain information about minority carrier lifetimes, series and parallel resistances, and acceptor impurity densities. Silicon solar cells efficiencies ranging between 17 and 18% from different manufacturers have been analysed obtaining differences mainly in the electron lifetimes and doping densities. Relations between these parameters and DC curves are discussed.

How to Dismantle the Absurd Profitability of Nuclear Weapons
Nuclear weapons are more than just a terrifying threat to every living thing on earth. They're also a terrific way to make money.
Jon Schwarz
May 4 2019, 2:00 p.m.
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists currently has its Doomsday Clock set to two minutes to midnight — the closest we've been to self-obliteration in nuclear history.
But nuclear weapons are more than just a terrifying threat to every living thing on earth. For decades, they've been a terrific way to make money.
A new report from PAX, a Dutch peace organization, both illuminates how profitable it can be for multinational corporations to manufacture Armageddon and provides a roadmap for taking the money out of mass death.
The PAX report identifies a total of $116 billion in current contracts between governments and the private sector to design, build, and maintain the world's nuclear arsenals. The actual amount may be significantly higher, since all nine nuclear powers maintain some degree of opacity about their nuclear programs. "We know what we can trace," says Susi Snyder, the report's principal author, "but there's definitely more out there."
Many powerful corporations therefore have incentives to push governments to expand their nuclear stockpiles. At a recent investor conference, a managing director of the investment bank Cowen Inc. questioned the CEO of Raytheon, one of the nuclear contractors listed by PAX. "We're about to exit the INF [Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty] with Russia," the managing director said, and excitedly asked if this means that "we will really get a defense budget that will really benefit Raytheon." (The planet may be destroyed, but for a beautiful moment in time, they will have created a lot of value for shareholders.)
Snyder believes that President Donald Trump's decision to pull out of the INF Treaty may be paying literal dividends for Raytheon already. She points out that over a period of three months after Trump announced the U.S. withdrawal last fall, Raytheon received an anomalous 44 separate missile contracts worth more than $500 million.
Moreover, corporate lobbying has already nudged the U.S. to commit to a nuclear "modernization" program — initiated under former President Barack Obama and expanded under Trump — that will cost an estimated $1.2 trillion over the next 30 years. And while modernization sounds good, what's planned will actually make U.S. nukes much more deadly, something to which Russia is already planning to respond. The final result may be an extremely modern nuclear war.
PAX, however, does not counsel despair, but instead sees the intertwining of the private sector and nuclear weapons as a potential point of leverage.
The five largest known current beneficiaries of nuclear weapons spending are all U.S.-based multinationals: Huntington Ingalls Industries ($29.9 billion), Lockheed Martin ($25.2 billion), Honeywell International ($16.5 billion), General Dynamics ($5.8 billion), and Jacobs Engineering ($5.3 billion).
The report also identifies large nuclear contracts with companies elsewhere. Airbus, headquartered in the Netherlands, develops nuclear-armed missiles for France. A British company called Serco has a 25-year contract to help manage and operate the U.K. Atomic Weapons Establishment, the center of the United Kingdom's nuclear program. Bharat Dynamics Limited in Hyderabad helps make two of India's nuclear-capable missiles.
Among the hundreds of nuclear contracts are some gems of nuclear insanity. Boeing has received $16 million to develop a "Flight Termination Receiver" that would theoretically allow nuclear missiles to be destroyed after a mistaken launch.
This could change the U.S. nuclear calculus in an extremely dangerous way. There have been many false alarms in the past that Russian missiles were headed toward the U.S. We're here now only because no president responded to the alarms, in part because they knew such a response would be irrevocable. If future presidents believe that they have an end of the world "take back," they may be tempted to launch U.S. nuclear missiles in response to another false alarm. But of course, no technology is ever 100 percent effective — especially when it's built by the company that brought us the 737 Max. And if just one missile failed to self-destruct, a full-out nuclear war would soon follow.
That's the bad news. Here's the qualified good news.
PAX is a member of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, which won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2017. ICAN played a key role in the promotion of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, or TPNW, which was adopted that year at the United Nations and therefore, opened for ratification by member states.
ICAN's strategy with the TPNW is a sneaky one. They do not aim to begin by trying to persuade countries with nuclear weapons to abandon them. Rather, they aim to start by persuading non-nuclear countries to ratify the treaty. Such countries will then be prohibited from possessing nuclear weapons — and from allowing them to transit through them or permitting their production on their territory.
Original reporting. Fearless journalism. Delivered to you.
If all goes according to plan, this will create a slowly tightening noose around the nuclear weapons states. If the Netherlands were to ratify TPNW, Airbus could no longer help build France's nuclear missiles. The Italian company Leonardo also lends a hand with France's nuclear program and likewise could not do so if Italy ratifies the treaty.
But beyond legal restrictions, ICAN hopes that grassroots organizing for TPNW country by country will eventually create a societal taboo around nuclear weapons that will put severe pressure on private-sector corporations and eventually the current nuclear states. If this sounds utopian, it should be remembered that such taboos have been created around biological and chemical weapons, as well as land mines and cluster bombs. There are still holdout countries for each, but they've faced greater and greater opprobrium as time goes by, and it's not impossible to imagine that there will be eventual complete compliance in each case.
PAX points out that the TPNW has already helped create enough stigma surrounding nuclear weapons that two enormous pension funds have divested from nuclear arms producers. The Norwegian Government Pension Fund, the second-largest pension fund on earth, has sold its investments in, among other companies, Huntington Ingalls, Lockheed Martin, Airbus, and Boeing. The Dutch civil service fund ABP is the world's fifth-largest and has also divested from the nuclear arms industry. "Changes in society, also at an international level," said an ABP executive, mean that "nuclear weapons no longer fit in with our sustainable and responsible investment policy."
This perspective is now quietly making its way across the Atlantic. This January, a bill was introduced in the Massachusetts State Legislature that would require the state's pension funds to divest from nuclear manufacturers. The city of Cambridge has already done so. Ojai, California, will not make any future investments in the makers or funders of nuclear weapons.
"If Lockheed Martin can stop making cluster bombs because they're losing investors across Europe," says Snyder, "we know corporations can be moved. … It takes a long time with businesses, but you can do it faster than with governments."
And that's the point of Pax's report: It wasn't created for passive consumption, but to put basic information in the hands of activists, so that they can exert the power of basic sanity.

This is the fourth in a series on Money in Politics. We've looked at the way that our present system of campaign finance results in our being fleeced by businesses that use laws and regulations to protect them from competition and from lawsuits. Think about the repeal of legislation that regulated the financial services industry, or the NRA which got legislation to prevent funding for studies of gun violence, the companies that blocked state laws defining duties in their industries, the loosening of federal antitrust law, or a plethora of tax breaks. All of that was facilitated by grateful lawmakers, grateful for campaign help, contributions or expenditures, which made their elections or reelections possible.
We've also looked at restoring limitations or prohibitions on those injections of money into politics, and the complexity of reinstating limitations without spilling over and damaging what should be protected speech, press and association.
There is another approach that doesn't threaten the press or public interest associations and doesn't hand judges or anyone else malleable discretion to decide who can and cannot speak and how much. The alternative is to provide the funds, either by matching small donations as is done in New York City or allocating public funds for campaigns to those candidates who agree not to raise their own funds.
Public funds relieve candidates from dependence on large donors. Matching small donations reconnects candidates to small donors gathered in house parties, barbeques and similar events. Instead of spending their time courting major donors, candidates seeking matching funds would have to spend time with their constituents – what a quaint concept!
There are many programs using matching funds in place now in states like Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, North Carolina, Vermont, and West Virginia and cities like New York and Los Angeles. Some states matched large expenditures by opponents before the Court rejected that. New York City provides $6 for each $1 contributed in small amounts, resulting in the vast majority of funds deriving from small donations. The match makes each small donor that much more valuable to the candidate. And the formula can be designed to match inflation so that the majority of candidates keep choosing the public matching system.
The research so far reveals that matching programs increase candidate efforts to reach out to constituents, and minimize the role of large donations, although plan details create significant differences in effectiveness.
The Court long ago agreed that public funds can come with strings – if a candidate takes public funds, the candidate may have to agree to an expenditure limit or a restriction on the donations it can accept.
The public funding approach doesn't create the major problems, distinctions and discretion that prohibitions do. Savings to the public can be huge. The cost of American political campaigning is much less than the largesse which politicians can make available to contributors and supporters. That means that we could fully fund American political campaigns for much less than those campaigns cost us in legislation and regulations that bilk us of vast amounts of money. It should be a no-brainer.
Next week, why it hasn't been.

Juan Cole's post putting the contributions of Europeans and European-Americans in historical and worldwide perspective is well worth reading, http://www.juancole.com/2016/07/stephen-people-civilization.html. I always thought humility was supposed to be a value in our culture, and with regard to race and ancestral origins, Cole certainly and appropriately gets it. There is another issue – the belief in American exceptionalism, at least to the extent that it is racialized, may be our undoing, leading too many to assume that great things are automatic and need no investment and care. The American Founders, for all their errors, would never have made that mistake. But those who wrap themselves in the Founders' reflected glow miss both the humility and the perspective our Founders had and prove themselves unworthy.
The commentary about Ginsburg's comments on Trump make a fetish on form while missing the substance. See my post on the NYU Press blog.

Well, it's time to make my monthly or tri-monthly check up. This time I found my way into Israel. I'm actually participating on an Archaeological dig (and yes that is how you spell Archaeological). It's really fun, you wake up at a quarter to five in the morning (it's not that bad), and you dig for a few hours or so, then get breakfast, then dig a little more, get a fruit break, then dig some more and then your done for the day at one o'clock seriously it's not that bad. Really. It's an experiance that everyone should have. Anyway, it seems that I've found the computers and that I can access them from time to time so hopefully I will be able to make another appearance before I leave the Holy Land.

Darcy Oake: The RD Interview
By Megan Jones
Canadian illusionist Darcy Oake talks suspending disbelief, working with birds and protecting the tricks of the magician's trade.
Photo: Night Shop Media
You've had an eventful few years. You were a contestant on Britain's Got Talent and you launched your career overseas with a TV special and tour in the United Kingdom. How did you realize magic was your calling?
Back when I was seven or eight, growing up in Winnipeg, my dad [famed Manitoba sportscaster Scott Oake] showed me a trick where he picked a card I'd chosen out of a deck. I was flabbergasted. For weeks he wouldn't tell me how he'd done it, but I finally wore him down: it was an accident, a one-in-52 chance. So a fluke got me hooked on magic.
You were competing in international magic competitions by the age of 16. What was it like to grow up in that world?
I used to go to monthly meet-ups as a teen during the early 2000s. You're probably hoping I'll say we gathered in, like, some dark old church. But no, we met in a community-centre room to mingle and talk shop. Older magic guys would lend me VHS tapes to learn from. Mentorship has been important to me since then. When I see someone trying to learn, I go out of my way to help.
What about your peers? Did you ever get flak for being "that magic kid"?
I went through a phase in junior high and high school when I didn't want to tell anyone I was trying to be a magician because I knew people would think I was a weirdo. But even then I believed it had the power to be really, really cool.
The stereotypical magician can be pretty cheesy.
I've never understood magicians who go up there in top hats and tailcoats and sequined jackets. Like, it's 2015. Nobody dresses like that.
One of your most famous tricks involves doves. What are the hazards of working with birds? Poop? Feathers?
That's only the start of it! One time I had a dove fly into the audience, land in a lady's lap, lay an egg and then fly back to the stage. And I was like, Oookay. I couldn't do that on purpose if I wanted to.
Is it difficult to keep trade secrets from your nearest and dearest?
A lot of the time it's hard because I find the way a trick works just as cool as the actual result. It's unfortunate I can't tell anybody about the process. But that's the price you pay. A magician never reveals his secrets.
Why is magic so compelling even after we supposedly become old enough to know better?
The answer is in the question. We think we know how everything works, and if we don't know, Google will tell us. But magic, when done correctly, allows you to connect with a person and show them something impossible they can't explain. It's a powerful thing.
Some of your stunts seem incredibly dangerous, like hanging upside down inside a bear trap. What's it like to put yourself in peril?
It's a funny mind space. Part of me is like, "This is stupid. I don't know why I'm doing it." Another part is like, "This is going to be fantastic if it works." And a third part is like, "If this goes horribly wrong, at least I'll go out like a legend."

Nicolaas Johannes Brümmer (Dordrecht (Oost-Kaap), 27 juli 1866 - Stellenbosch, 13 mei 1947) was een Zuid-Afrikaans predikant en hoogleraar.

Levensloop
Brümmer studeerde vanaf 1885 aan de Kweekschool in Stellenbosch. Vervolgens studeerde hij filosofie en psychologie in Edinburgh en Leipzig. In 1895 werd hij predikant in de Nederduitse Gereformeerde Kerk in Jansenville. Van 1899 tot 1911 was Brümmer predikant in Drieankerbaai. In 1911 werd hij hoogleraar in de filosofie aan het Viktoria College, de latere Universiteit Stellenbosch. Hij bleef dit tot zijn emeritaat in 1941.

Brümmer was gericht op de intellectuele emancipatie van de Afrikaners. Hij hechtte grote waarde aan de filosofische vorming van predikanten in opleiding. Ook zette hij zich in voor de ontwikkeling van het Afrikaans. Brümmer was in 1909 een van de dertig oprichters van Zuid-Afrikaanse Akademie voor Wetenschap, Letteren en Kunst. Hij hield zich daarnaast intensief bezig met sociale en morele kwesties die speelden in het Zuid-Afrika van zijn tijd.

Brümmer trouwde twee keer. Uit zijn huwelijk met Ruth Madeline Stegmann (1872-1929) werden twee kinderen geboren. Uit zijn tweede huwelijk in 1931 met Hester Henrietta (Ettie) Marais (1892–1973) werd Vincent geboren.

BDP has completed a significant new build retail and leisure extension to an existing shopping centre, owned by IKEA Centres Poland, in Wroclaw.
The scheme is located approximately 8km south west of the city centre of Wroclaw, and is 53,000 sqm of new build plus a 2,000 space underground car park. The project creates a two level shopping and leisure complex, and with a standalone IKEA as the anchor for the new extension.
The extension comprises international and domestic fashion retailers, substantial restaurant and cafes, a cinema and other entertainment venues. The overall scheme consists of a second 'race track' retail circuit, connected to the existing hypermarket and shopping centre at the east of the new extension, and it provides a new main entrance and an enhanced retail environment to the existing hypermarket and retail offers. The existing centre has been partially over clad in a similar architectural language to unify the old and the new.
The concept was driven by both local influences and the strong design heritage of the IKEA brand. The facades are an abstraction of the rock formations and recreational climbing routes of Mount Sleza which is visible from the shopping centre. Much of the inspiration for the concepts of the internal environment is a response to the local context of the River Odra and the multitude of bridges in Wroclaw.
BDP is currently working with InterIKEA to create three further retail and leisure developments in Poland.

The wait is finally over. On October 13, Michelin released its first ever Washington, D.C. guide. And what better way to fête this momentous occasion than at a truly elegant party at the gorgeous French Ambassador's residence hosted by the Ambassador of France to the United States, Gérard Araud.
In honor of SER Restaurant's second annual gastronomic week (October 4 - 9), Executive Chef and Co-Owner Josu Zubikarai teamed up with guest Chef Sara Perez of Spain to celebrate one of Spain's culinary treats - pintxos.
A modern Indian restaurant nestled in Cleveland Park, opened its doors in 2002, and helped redefine Indian cuisine in this city. This two-level eatery, whose name is a melange of India and unique, overhauled its menu, decor and beverage program this year and very much succeeded, thanks to Indique's co-partners Surfy Rahman and Executive Chef K.N. Vinod and Stir Bartending Co.'s beverage consultant, Carlie Steiner.
The thriving culinary scene in the nation's capital will soon be internationally-recognized with its first Michelin guide. The fourth city in the United States to get a guide after Chicago, New York City and San Francisco. In 2016, 76 New York City restaurants received a Michelin star rating, 22 in Chicago and 50 in San Francisco.
If there is one meal that I always look forward to every weekend, it's BRUNCH. Why? Because this elaborate dining affair is so much more than just runny eggs (although that is a huge perk ;-)) ... it's about the experience.
Christmas, one of the most celebrated holidays around the world, comes with a rich history of traditions, such as gingerbread houses, nativity scenes, wreaths, caroling, and advent calendars. Having grown up in an Franco-American household, I was fortunate to experience a variety of these, but one of my favorites, and still to this day, is la Bûche de Noël .
La ville lumière. Many years ago, I had the great fortune to discover you, my mother's hometown, and it was an immediate coup de foudre. The smell of warm fresh bread wafting in the air, the narrow and sometimes cobble stone streets filled with people of all cultures joyously walking from one arrondissement to another in search of nooks and crannies that could be claimed as their own.

Statement on Dave Strano
As members of the TORCH Anti-fascist Network, Rose City Antifa fully supports this statement of the Network, and endorses it in full.
It has come to our attention that Dave Strano of Redneck Revolt and the John Brown Gun Club has engaged in an ongoing pattern of behavior that is oppressive, exploitative, abusive, and which put comrades' activities and well-being at risk. Strano's behavior is in complete contradiction to what the TORCH Network stands for, as recorded in our Points of Unity.
TORCH Point of Unity #3:
"We oppose all forms of oppression and exploitation. We intend to do the hard work necessary to build a broad, strong movement of oppressed people centered on the working class against racism, sexism, nativism, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, and discrimination against the disabled, the oldest, the youngest, and the most oppressed people. We support abortion rights and reproductive freedom. We want a classless, free society. We intend to win!"
"We hold ourselves accountable personally and collectively to live up to our ideals and values."
TORCH Point of Unity #5
"We not only support each other within the network, but we also support people outside the network who we believe have similar aims or principles. An attack on one is an attack on all."
The TORCH Network declares itself in complete solidarity with the survivors of Dave Strano's abusive behavior. Strano has caused serious harm across a number of groups over a sustained period of time. In creating a society free from fascist activity, we must also challenge and reject abusive behavior in our own movements and from those claiming to be allies. Therefore, we issue the following call.
For the TORCH Network, the only acceptable means of accountability from Dave Strano starts with his complete cessation of involvement with Redneck Revolt, the John Brown Gun Club, and other similar and allied groups. Though the TORCH Network has worked with these groups in the past, we hereby discontinue our involvement with them until Strano ceases to be a part of these groups. We ask that any organization that seeks to work with the TORCH Network also issue a similar, allied call, and refuse to work with Strano and those involved with him. In line with our Points of Unity, we will neither work with nor support any organization that continues to have a relationship with Dave Strano.


The Disciplined Agile (DA) process decision framework provides light-weight guidance to help organizations streamline their information technology (IT) and business processes in a context-sensitive manner. It does this by showing how the various activities such as solution delivery, operations, enterprise architecture, portfolio management, finance, security, procurement, data management, and many others work together. The framework also describes what these activities should address, provides a range of options for doing so, and describes the trade-offs associated with each option. In effect, DA provides the process foundation for business agility.
In A Disciplined Agile Mindset for Data Management you learned what "being agile" meant for data management. In this article we overview what "doing agile" means when taking a DA approach to data management. We start by examining how data management fits in with other aspects of your IT efforts and then overview common data management activities. The article ends with a summary of the issues that you'll face with transitioning to an agile way of working.
Key tenets of agile and lean are to work collaboratively and to streamline your workflow respectively. In Figure 1, we show that data management is a collaborative effort that has interdependencies with several other DA process blades (sometimes called process areas) and the solution delivery teams that data management is meant to support.
This can be very different than the current traditional strategies. For example, with a DA approach, the data management team works collaboratively with the delivery teams, operations, and release management to evolve data sources. The delivery teams do the majority of the work to develop and evolve the data sources, with support and guidance coming from data management. The delivery teams follow guidance from release management to add the database changes into their automated deployment scripts, getting help from operations if needed to resolve any operational challenges. Evolution of data sources is a key aspect of Disciplined DevOps . This is very different than the typical traditional strategy that requires delivery teams to first document potential database updates, have the updates reviewed by data management, then do the work to implement the updates, then have this work reviewed and accepted, then work through your organizations release management process to deploy into production.
Now let's drill down and see what the workflow for a DA approach to data management looks like. First, notice how all of the activities depicted in Figure 2 are collaborative in nature. This is shown via the additional roles beside the activities or interacting with them. Second, how you address these activities will vary depending on the situation that you face. Our goal here, is to explore a baseline from which you can potentially start, but you'll need to tailor it to address your actual situation.
Figure 2. Internal Workflow for Data Management (Click to expand in a new tab).
Support deliver teams. Delivery teams will need help from time to time to address hard database design problems, to gain access to and to understand legacy data sources, and to obtain and/or generate test data. The DA strategy is for data managers to work collaboratively with the delivery teams to do so, to get directly involved with the teams to do the actual work (and to transfer skills while doing so). In a pragmatic take on the sage advice around teaching a man to fish, the goal should be to teach the delivery team how to fish, but while doing so provide enough fish to sustain them until they become self sufficient.
Support and monitor operations. Data managers will work closely with operations managers to monitor your existing production data sources (operations managers monitor far more than just data sources of course). Ideally this monitoring is fully automated with dashboard technology used to render critical operational intelligence in real time. Note that operational database administration activities are addressed by the operations process blade .
Improve data quality. Data managers will guide and collaborate in the data quality improvement efforts of your database administrators (DBAs) and operations engineers as well as your delivery teams. They will monitor your automated database regression testing efforts (ideally a continuous effort) and your ongoing data source evolution efforts (implemented as database refactorings) that occur on a daily basis. Your data managers will oversee the long-term aspects of database refactoring, in particular the retirement of deprecated database schema and the scaffolding required during the deprecation periods for the appropriate refactorings .
Surface your challenges. You need to have an honest conversation about the effectiveness of your current approach to data management. This conversation must be driven from an organizational viewpoint so as to take into account stakeholder needs. We've found that a very effective way to do this is value stream mapping (VSM) sessions to reveal the true efficiency and quality levels of your critical data management processes . This will not be pleasant for anyone who still believes in traditional data management practices, but it is vital to your success that everyone recognizes that you need to improve.
Expect better. One of the reasons why the data management field has languished for as long as it has is because the rest of the IT community allowed them to. For the most part we accepted the claim that data managers needed to work in a slow and onerous manner, that eventually they'd address our organization's data quality challenges through some form of bureaucratic magic that only they understood. Enough is enough.
Invest in your staff. Traditional data professionals tend to be overly specialized, often focusing on one aspect of data management such as logical data modeling, meta data management, data traceability, and so on. Not only does this result in bureaucratic, drawn-out processes but many of these specialties are no longer required when you've adopted pragmatic, quality-focused agile strategies. To be effective you need T-skilled generalizing specialists , and that requires you to invest in training and long-term coaching to help people to modernize their skillset.
Improving your data management processes and organization structure to support a Disciplined Agile way of working is a daunting task. Along with evolving your governance strategy, it is likely the hardest part of any organizational transformation, but it is one that you cannot ignore. Effective data management is critical to your success as an organization.

Recurrent Heart Attacks Declining, But Risks Remains High
By Aislinn Antrim, Assistant Editor
Researchers found the largest decreases for heart attack risk among women, which may be because of greater attention paid to women's heart health in recent decades.
After surviving a heart attack, the number of patients suffering a second attack within a year decreased between 2008 and 2017, although the rate of recurrent heart attacks, hospitalization for heart failure, and death remains high among heart attack survivors, according to a study by the American Heart Association.
Although the number of people dying from heart attacks has steadily decreased in recent decades, those who survive are at an increased risk of experiencing another heart attack or dying within a year after they leave the hospital. To examine this change in rates, researchers used data from Medicare and commercial health insurers on more than 770,000 women and 700,000 men who were hospitalized for a heart attack between 2008 and 2017.
They analyzed rates of recurrent heart attacks, procedures to open clogged heart arteries, and hospitalizations to treat heart failure during the first year after hospital discharge. According to the study results, recurrent heart attacks declined from 89.2 per 1000 person-years to 72.3 in women. Men saw less of a decline, from 94.2 per 1000 person-years to 81.3.
Notably, however, the rates did not decline among women 21 to 54 years of age or among men aged 55 to 79 years of age. Although the authors could not pinpoint a reason for the lack of decline in older men, they posited an idea for the lack of change in younger women.
"In women, it could be that younger women and their treating physicians may be more likely to miss signs of worsening heart disease," said lead author Sanne AE Peters, PhD, in a press release.
Women also experienced a larger decline in recurrent heart disease event rates, going from 166.3 per 1000 person-years to 133.3 compared with 198.1 to 176.8 among men. Similarly, the rates of hospitalizations due to heart failure declined from 177.4 to 158.1 among women and from 162.9 to 156.1 among men.
The sex differences largely continued in the most recent year studied. In 2017, men had higher rates of heart attack and heart disease events as well as death, but women had higher rates of heart failure hospitalizations. These rates were adjusted for multiple variables including age, race, and various medical conditions and treatments.
"We expected to see a decline in the rate of events, however, we did not expect the rates to differ between the sexes," Peters said. "It may be that the improvements in men were achieved before our study period, leaving less room for improvement in the most recent decade. It could also be that the attention paid to heart disease in women over recent years has resulted in the greater gains."
The authors noted that the database used was large, multi-ethnic, and included a wide age range, although the findings might not be generalizable to the overall population. The data sources also did not include information on the severity of heart attack, so the reduction in repeat attacks over time may reflect a reduced severity of the initial attacks.
"Patients should speak with their doctors to ensure that they get the right treatment to prevent secondary events and must make sure that they adopt or maintain a healthy lifestyle," Peters concluded.
Recurrent heart attacks on the decline, yet risk remains high [news release]. American Heart Association; September 21, 2020. https://newsroom.heart.org/news/recurrent-heart-attacks-on-the-decline-yet-risk-remains-high?preview=1042. Accessed September 24, 2020.


Primary concern for the next 48 hours - As the next short wave moves into the region midday Friday, the potential for: Storm Slabs (above ~8,000') and Wind Slabs on NW-N-NE-E-SE aspects in the mid to upper elevations will rise quickly, possible including the lower elevations depending on new snow amounts below 8,000'. As the storm progresses, human triggered avalanches are very likely especially on wind loaded slopes. Additional concern, thou unlikely, the possibility for surface avalanches stepping down into the snowpack and triggering a much larger Persistent Slab resulting avalanches could lead to serious injury or death. Use extra caution in terrain 35 degrees and steeper, because of the early season variability assess the snowpack of the slope before you commit.
The new snow will likely be slow to bond to the old snow surface due to recent facet formation in the upper snowpack. As snowfall rates increase Friday afternoon into Friday night, storm slabs will likely form in wind sheltered locations on all aspects above ~8,000'. Density changes within the storm can also create weaknesses where failures can occur within the new snow. Natural storm slab avalanches will become possible as the storm progresses; human triggered avalanches will be very likely through Saturday on slopes greater than 35 degrees. Small slides can be dangerous when combined with terrain traps or objective hazards.
The approaching cold winter storm is expected to produce relatively low density snow that will be easily transported by the forecasted moderate to strong SW winds, forming dangerous Wind Slabs on leeward slopes (NW-N-NE-E-SE aspects) and near crossloaded terrain features on slopes greater than 35 degrees. As the storm progresses, natural Wind Slab avalanches will become possible and human triggered avalanches very likely to certain as snowfall rates increase Friday afternoon/night into early Saturday morning. Large avalanches, resulting in serious injury or death will be possible from Friday evening through Saturday. Signs of Wind Slabs include smooth dense snow and hollow sounding slabs. Avoid slopes 35 degrees or greater where the potential for wind slabs exist. Use extra caution traveling below actively wind loading slopes.
Note: Friday morning into early afternoon, moderately strong Southerly winds at upper elevations could produce small isolated wind slabs on exposed leeward terrain features that could be sensitive to human triggering.
Two facet layers deep in the snowpack are a concern as the stress and strain increases over the course of the storm. These layers can be found in the lower 1/3 of the snowpack, primarily above ~ 9,000' on NW-N-NE-E facing slopes. Even though these weaknesses are deeply buried, a triggered release higher in the snowpack could step down into these deeper layers, possibly producing large, very destructive avalanches.
A strong winter storm is poised to move into the region midday Friday and is forecasted to bring significant snowfall along with moderate to strong SW winds, forming potentially dangerous Wind Slab and Storm Slab avalanche conditions beginning midday Friday and into the weekend. The cold temperatures and moderate to strong SW winds will favor snow transport with tender wind slabs forming on NW-N-NE-E-SE aspects, especially in the mid to upper elevations. Additionally, the recent cold snap has generated a strong temperature gradient in the upper snowpack, which has produced extensive faceting of the surface snow. This will slow bonding of the new snow, increasing the potential for Storm Slabs Friday thru the weekend. The deep snowpack structure is quite complex, especially above 9,000' on W-N-E facing slopes, where multiple crusts and weak facet layers exist. However, these weak layers are beginning to recede into the depths of the snowpack and would require a large trigger to fail, such as a surface avalanche triggering deep persistent weakness resulting in large destructive avalanche. Large natural avalanches will become increasing likely and the possibility of large human triggered avalanches are very likely. Use extreme caution on or below slopes greater than 35 degrees.
Other concerns: Outside of the Mammoth Lakes basin, early season conditions exist. There are plenty of rocks, stumps, down trees just under the snow surface, use caution while riding and playing in the backcountry.
Red Lake Bowl, Virginia Lakes (12/21/2016): From the THD good snow coverage. Virginia Lake and Red Lake ~2' (65 cm) snow over ice. Light wind effect or skin over 1 Fingerish over 4 Finger with Pencil to knife below until ~ 20 cm above ground where it's possible a layer of facets formed early season (Oct. - Nov.) Strong Temperature gradient in the upper snowpack but quickly subsides below 20 cm from surface. Stability tests produced only moderate to hard failures 21 cm from surface with an irregular failure plane. Strong temperature gradient exists in the top 20 cm with faceting. Below 20 cm the gradient eases with decreasing facet formation. Red Lake Bowl slid during last storm cycle. ~ 1300' wide x 800' vertical, visible crown 1-2', max 6'. Slide broke through 3' of ice! No recent slides noted. Ski conditions above treeline, quasi-breakable wind skin, improving as you descend into the treeline and lower gullies.
Comments: Below 185cm snow is mostly Pencil to knife. ~ 235 cm from surface possible facets to ground.
South Lake - Mt Thompson (12/19/2016) -Toured from Parcher's Resort (drivable with 4x4 thru snow to ~1/2mi beyond Parcher's), to end of Rd at South Lake, to Mt Thompson and back. 6-18" of snow at South Lake level, increasing to ~18-24" at 11,500', to 8ft in places above 12,000'. Lots of evidence of wind in upper elevations (above 11,000') during and right after storm, but no new wind effects for the past few days. No sensitive windslabs found. Some handpits/hand shears in areas of wind deposit failed 3-5" down, but all with moderate to hard force. ECT tests did not propagate. Test pit dug at 12,600', N facing slope, 265 cm of total snow. Stability tests showed inconsistent failures, with moderate to hard force. Lots of faceted snow was found in shallow areas around rocks, but the talus nature of the area made these facet pockets very patchy and inconsistent across even short distances of a slope. No signs of instability were noted today. All the possible windslabs have had a few days to stabilize, and seem to be of limited concern now. High temperature gradient in upper snowpack. The clear cold nights have led to a good bit of faceting of the upper snowpack. This isn't a stability concern now, but these facets could be a weak layer for new snow to fail on in the future. Also of note, lots of old 1.5-2.5' crowns were visible all around upper elevations on NE-N-NW facing slopes around the 12,000' level, mostly below rock bands. These looked like they occurred near the end of last week's storm. Thanks to Zak Mills and Jason Templeton for breaking the trail most of the way the day before!

"Facts matter. The FBI's use of Confidential Human Sources (the actual term) is tightly regulated and essential to protecting the country. Attacks on the FBI and lying about its work will do lasting damage to our country. How will Republicans explain this to their grandchildren?" wrote the former director.
Comey found himself thrust -once again- into national headlines last week when multiple sources reported the FBI may have had an "informant" interacting with the Trump campaign heading into the 2016 race for the White House.


The 2018 season has closed. Stay tuned for 2019.
2. If you purchased online, pick up your passes at the ARTitorium or have them mailed to you.
3. Present your passes at any or all of the eight great participating Idaho Falls family attractions to receive free or discounted admission. Use between now and October 14, 2018.
Who can use the individual and family passes?
An individual pass gets one person (of any age) free admission to each institution on the front of the pass ONE TIME, as well as discounts to the institutions on the back of the pass as indicated. A family pass grants the same for a family of up to 2 adults and up to 4 children (17 and under).
What if there are fewer or more than 6 people in my family?
If there are fewer, you might choose just to buy individual passes, or you can buy the family pass and bring along your neighbor, your kids' friends, your cousin – whoever. They don't have to be related to you, and they don't even have to be the same people each time, so long as it's no more than 2 adults and no more than 4 kids at each visit.
If there are more, we recommend purchasing a family pass and as many individual passes as you need to accommodate your family. If it is more cost-effective, feel free to purchase 2 family passes! Please keep in mind that children 2 and under are free at the ARTitorium, children 3 and under are free at the Idaho Falls Zoo and Museum of Idaho, and children 5 and under are free at the Art Museum of Eastern Idaho, so you might choose to save the pass for kids that would normally cost you money.
You may purchase pass(es) at the ARTitorium on Broadway (271 W. Broadway) and pick them up immediately, or purchase online, then either pick up the pass(es) at the ARTitorium during its business hours or have them mailed to you (with a $3 mailing fee). On Monday mornings/afternoons when the ARTitorium is closed, passes may be picked up at the offices of the Idaho Falls Arts Council (498 A St.).
Anytime between your date of purchase and October 14, 2018. After that, check back for our 2019 pass. It is your responsibility to check business hours / holiday hours, etc. of the places you'd like to visit.
My business would like to be on the pass in the future. How do we do that?
Send an e-mail to pr@museumofidaho.org. Note that the front of the pass (with free admissions) is reserved for non-profit cultural or educational organizations in the Idaho Falls area. The back of the pass is reserved for a modest number of other area organizations (non-profit or for-profit) that offer family-friendly educational or recreational experiences. For example, a family-friendly restaurant might not qualify, but a family fun center that includes a restaurant might. Determinations will be made on a case-by-case basis.
Why should I buy the pass?
First and foremost, this pass gives you a great deal on visiting multiple worthwhile institutions. On the individual pass, depending on the age of the user, you are saving anywhere from $1.50 to $8.50. On the family pass, your savings could be as much as $30! Secondly, you are supporting non-profit institutions that benefit the entire region with their educational offerings.
Why was this pass created and who gets the proceeds?
Four local organizations: the Museum of Idaho, the Idaho Falls Arts Council (which operates the ARTitorium), the Idaho Falls Zoo, and The Art Museum of Eastern Idaho have been collaborating on this effort for several years in order to better serve our community's diverse interests and provide tourists and locals alike with the adventure of a lifetime! 100% of the money from the passes goes back to covering the discounts offered at these four educational organizations and into a collective pot for each of the eight participant organizations to continue marketing and selling the pass.
I have other comments or questions. Where should I send them?
We welcome your questions and feedback. Send comments and questions to pr@museumofidaho.org, and we'll address them as quickly as we can. Thanks and enjoy your adventures!

Porter: Tough-on-crime Rob Ford doesn't see Toronto's outreach workers are crime prevention
By Catherine PorterFeature Writer
Wed., June 6, 2012timer3 min. read
Mayor Rob Ford thinks the city has enough youth outreach workers.
Toronto has 29 positions now. Seventeen of them have received their pink slips. That leaves 12.
Twelve people to reach out to all the troubled youth of Toronto.
If I didn't know any better, I'd think Mayor Ford was being sarcastic.
I see why he wants to build a bigger fence around his house.
Councillor Adam Vaughan says he could use all 29 youth outreach workers in Alexandra Park — a social housing complex tucked below Kensington Market near Spadina and Dundas.
That's where Ahmed Hassan's mother lives. Hassan was shot dead in the Eaton Centre last weekend. A few hours before that shooting, another gunman — still at large — opened fire inside the housing complex.
I dropped by Wednesday morning and chatted with Ali Jimaleh, one of the neighbourhood's youth-workers-in-training. We sat on a bench behind the Scadding Court Community Centre where he works.
Jimaleh's life hasn't been easy or pure. He came to Canada at age 7, fleeing the war in Somalia with his father and siblings. They were nomadic for years, moving with his dad's jobs, until Jimaleh settled in with some cousins in Alexandra Park. He dropped out of school in Grade 11.
"My dad's a diabetic. His health was bad. Bills needed to be paid. Food needed to be put on the table," said Jimaleh, now 26.
He worked as a dishwasher, a waiter, a concession stand worker, and a factory hand making vinyl siding, until he settled down to selling crack.
"You can find drugs easier than you can find a job," he said. "On a good night, I'd make $1000 or $2000."
Problems followed. "I started having issues with certain people. Fights became stabbings, stabbings ended up as shootings," he said. "So I picked up a gun."
Police stopped him one night and, finding the gun, sent him to jail for a year and a half.
A few weeks after he emerged, Jimaleh was back in Alexandra Park, again selling crack. He was smoking a cigarette outside his cousin's house one morning when the Scadding Court Community youth worker approached him. The community centre was organizing a three-month youth development program in India, the worker told him. Would Jimaleh like to join?
That trip changed Jimaleh's life. After he returned, Scadding Court hired him to manage the next trip. That job lead to another and another. Now, he's running the nearby school's breakfast and after-school programs. Next week, he'll start training counselors for summer camp. He works a weekend job dry-walling to make extra money. He moved into his own apartment in the Annex.
"Did I see myself in this position a couple years back? No. I didn't think I'd make it this long," he said. "Give somebody an opportunity and watch the change."
While we were sitting there chatting, city councillors a few blocks away were publicly aghast to discover the Eaton Centre shooter was working at a city-run after school recreation program. They announced all employees need to clear criminal background checks before starting work from now on.
But aren't the kids with checkered pasts just the ones we want in these jobs? Jimaleh seems like a perfect role model for kids in Alexandra Park to me — someone who knows both the gang and straight world and can tell them honestly which one is better.
Scadding Court Community Centre makes a point of hiring and training local kids with criminal records — 50 of them over the past 4 years. Executive director Kevin Lee considers it a crime prevention program, and so does the federal government, which funds it.
Had that youth outreach worker not approached Jimaleh on the street that day, who knows what would have happened? That's the thing about crime prevention — it's hard to measure.
"Wouldn't it be better to recruit kids to summer jobs in parks and recreation than gangs?" Councillor Pam McConnell said yesterday.
She's pushing city council to reinstate those 17 youth outreach workers before the summer starts. Summer, typically, is the time when tempers and guns flare in this city.
Mayor Ford, consider this a postcard from Alexandra Park. We need more than walls and police officers to stop crime. Teenagers in poor neighbourhoods need role models and chances.

Born and raised in Portsmouth, I was fascinated by my Dad's cameras for as long as I can remember. A degree in Graphic Design was followed by eight years spent as an Art Director in the ad industry. Creating everything from doordrops to telly ads, all the skills and experience gained during time have proved invaluable since making the switch to professional photography back in 2004. Working for a wide range of brands, agencies and clients, I've won an award or two along the way. I bring a well-rounded creative perspective and natural style to the demands of any shoot.
Based in London but always happy to travel, shoots have taken me far and wide. From studio-based ad campaigns to far-flung corners of Africa and Patagonia. I've even been across America on an old double-decker bus. Twice.
Quick to form a rapport with clients and subjects alike, I'm very much a people person. I pride myself on being very easy to work with – all egos are left at the door. My love and wide-ranging experience of photography is evident in everything I do.

New Westminster still doing it right
· blog · Canada · good news · history · race
Back in July, I applauded the city of New Westminster for taking positive, tangible steps to correct a history of racism against Chinese immigrants. I thought that it would stop there, but apparently they're keeping the train of being smart people one step further:
New Westminster will be the first municipal government in Canada to offer a formal apology to Chinese Canadians for historic racism and discrimination. The apology, which will be offered in English and Chinese on September 20, is part of a continuing reconciliation initiative undertaken by the city of New Westminster.
Stuff like this happens so rarely, I thought it was a good idea to highlight it. There have been many apologies in the past – by the Canadian government, by various church groups, by corporations, the list goes on. The difference between a real apology and a fake one is that when you're actually sorry about something, you take steps to fix it. The city of New Westminster is setting an example for the rest of Canada, showing that an apology doesn't mean simply dragging yourself through the dirt and debasing yourself out of guilt. An apology can be, and in this case, a noble show of moral character and strength:
Acknowledging the difficult history is part of developing a healthy relationship based on historical truth and a sense of justice, said Chu. Mayor Wayne Wright said the city assigned senior staff to do historical research on Chinese history in the region. Historical facts came out," said Wright. "The Chinese community helped build our region, and we found out some of the things that went on that weren't so pleasant." Wright said making a formal apology will be just one more step in the process of reconciliation and moving forward.
The truth, in this case, is that a rich and important part of the history of the region (and indeed, the entire province) was being systematically ignored. Chinese immigrants contributed generations of lives to the building of this beautiful place, and were repaid for their efforts by deeply-ingrained discrimination. Acknowledging the truth of this doesn't diminish the city of New Westminster, nor does it oblige white people in British Columbia to don sackcloth and rub ashes in their hair. It is a formal recognition of the truth of the past, and it is coupled with an ongoing platform to correct for the mistakes of history.
I'm proud of New Westminster in this matter, and hope that their example is emulated by other municipalities.


When it comes to protecting your income, it's easy to forget that you're protecting more than your ability to meet mortgage repayments and put petrol in the car. Your income isn't just about the bills – it's about your future – and how much you enjoy it.
What can you rely on?
It's no surprise that Australians are underinsured. Nobody wants to think about being injured or falling ill.
Government benefits, Workers Compensation and sick leave may help alleviate some of the burden of illness or injury, but they aren't designed to replace an income – and certainly not for long periods.
You could draw down your investments, superannuation or sell off your home or assets; but is that really the best solution?
Disability income can pay you up to 75% of your gross monthly salary, to help take care of you and your family financially while you keep the focus where it needs to be – on recovery.
