Statement from EFL
EFL matches will continue to take place as normal while the guidance from the relevant authorities remains that there is no medical rationale to close or cancel sporting events at this time.
The EFL, however, will continue to work with Government and relevant stakeholders to further develop contingency plans to ensure the League is best placed to act as and when any potential restrictions may come into force.
NHL has also halted its season
Returning to Saturday's game
Blackburn Rovers manager Tony Mowbray has been discussing the match at Ewood Park and the prospect of facing City.
They're a good team and have some wonderful individuals. And if you look at individual to individual, you'd have to say that they have some really talented footballers. On paper they have a really strong side and have invested in their squad.
They've sold a lot of players but they have reinvested well in individuals and good attacking threats with some experienced defenders at the back.
It's a tough game, but one we're looking forward to. We will be ready for the challenge of this game, the emotional side of it as well, and hopefully get a victory from it.

So, as we stand
No cancellations of any matches in the Championship or across England and no indication any games will be played behind closed doors.
The EFL have been meeting today in Preston so we may have some communication from them a little later.
Chief medical officer Chris Whitty on prospect of banning sporting events
Of course, there is a risk. As one individual who's infected, you are releasing the virus as you cough, sneeze or leave fluids on surfaces but on average, one person infects two or three others.
You therefore have a low probability of infecting a large number of people in a stadium. That means most of the transmission takes place with friends and colleagues in close environments.
This is not a major way to tackle this epidemic. The major way is to try and reduce the transmission across households.
In case you were debating how serious this is becoming
PM on stopping sporting events
Boris Johnson is back on fielding questions ...
It is very important we're guided by the science. There is very little medical reason to ban such events as I think Nicola Sturgeon has made clear.
But in Scotland they have particular issues with the resilience of their public services and that may become a factor for all of us.
And we may also be wishing to move forward with stopping those events. We're keeping it up our sleeve.
PM signs off with
It is still vital, more vital than ever to remember to wash our hands.
This country will get through this epidemic if we look out for each other and commit wholeheartedly to a full national effort.
PM on potentially banning sporting events
We are considering the question of banning major public events such as sporting fixtures.
There is also the issue of the burden of such events that will place on public services.
We will more to say shortly about the timing of further action in that respect.

PFA statement
The Professional Footballers' Association has this afternoon advised its members on how to deal with the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.
PFA Deputy Chief Executive Bobby Barnes said in a statement:
Along with other player associations from around the world, we have been in meetings with FIFPRO this week to discuss all eventualities and potential next steps with regards to the coronavirus,"
I have also been directly involved in conversations with other relevant authorities, including UEFA, on this matter.
This is a very fast-moving situation which is subject to change on an hourly basis. We are discussing with governing bodies, not only in the UK but also globally, to ascertain the best advice and information for our members.
Players will and should be taking medical advice from the appropriate medical staff at their individual clubs together with their respective government's national advice at this time.
It is important to stress that this is a public health issue, not just for football, but the wider community - that should be on the forefront of everybody's minds when making decisions.
While the following advice and guidance has been circulated to players and clubs:
Nathan Baker stops for a drink during training
Do not drink from the same water bottle during the game or training, but always use a personalised water bottle and do not exchange other items (towels, bathrobes, etc.) with other players.
Avoid eating food in the changing room.
Keep your personal items and clothes in your bag and avoid leaving them exposed in the changing rooms or the communal baskets.
Throw used tissues or other used materials like plasters, bandages etc. immediately into the appropriate lockable containers.
Wash your hands thoroughly as often as possible: hand washing and disinfection are essential to prevent infection. Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds and then dry them with a disposable towel after rinsing them thoroughly; if soap and water are not available, you can also use a hand disinfectant.
When using ordinary toilets, you should not touch the tap before and after washing your hands, but use disposable towels to open and close the tap.
Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands.
If you have to cough or sneeze, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue – preferably disposable – or with your arm, but not with your hand.
Players who show obvious symptoms of respiratory infection and/or fever before, during or after training must immediately leave the rest of the team - and isolate themselves if possible - and inform the club's doctor.
If the symptoms appear outside a training session, the player should stop avoid all contact and meetings with other team players and, if possible, isolate themselves. Players should contact their club doctor by telephone, and can also call the NHS 111 coronavirus service. To protect yourself and others, do not go to a GP, pharmacy or hospital.
If a player has been in any contact – either personally or within their family – with persons who have returned from risk areas, or quarantine, they must inform the team players and the club officials immediately.
If you have been in a risk area yourself, you must inform other players and club officials immediately.

Clubs should install automatic dispensers with appropriate disinfectant and cleaning solutions in both dressing rooms and toilets of the club.
The club should ensure that tables, benches, chairs, hangers, floors, taps, handles, showers and toilets are regularly disinfected with disinfectant solutions based on bleach or chlorine.
The club should take care to limit the presence of people in the changing room to a few specific authorised persons in order to limit the number of people accessing communal areas as much as possible.
Clubs should limit access to the field of play as far as possible to those who are strictly necessary to carry out the training sessions.
The club doctors should pay particular attention to the medical history, objective examination and, also consider taking player's temperature before each training session and before a match – including all team personnel, technicians and players. The team doctor should ensure that no sick persons take part in the match or training or are in the team's vicinity.
Clubs should check in advance the hygienic conditions of all changing rooms, including the changing rooms of the host team, referees and ball boys/girls, as well as the room prepared for doping tests.
Medical staff at clubs should actively participate in the organisation of the trips by checking the best logistical aspects and foreseeing possible protective devices for preventive purposes. They should ensure their presence throughout the trip.
Clubs should ensure that the health and medical staff, doctors and masseurs who are in constant contact with the players do not simultaneously work in environments or carry out external activities that could be contagious.
It is advisable to avoid the presence of media people in the changing rooms during the time before matches or training sessions.
The PFA also confirmed that it will continue to monitor the situation domestically and have open dialogue with all leagues, as the safety of players, fans and everyone that works within the game is their top priority.

Champions League decision by UEFA
Latest on leagues across Europe
So far, just one game has fallen foul of coronavirus in England, that being Manchester City's Premier League clash with Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday evening.
The game was called off following the news that Olympiakos owner Evangelos Marinakis had tested positive for coronavirus. Olympiakos, of course, had recently played Arsenal in the Europa League 13 days prior to the Premier League clash, meaning both clubs agreed that it would be best to not allow the game to take place.
Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that three of his players are isolating after showing symptoms.
Italy has been one of the world's most badly affected countries following the outbreak of the coronavirus, with over 200 deaths having so far been recorded in the country. With the country having now being placed into lockdown, the domestic season has been suspended until April 3 at the very earliest.
Juventus defender Daniele Rugani and Sampdoria forward Manolo Gabbiadini have both been diagnosed with the disease.
Juventus defender Daniele Rugani
In France, all Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 matches are still being played, but with a behind closed doors policy in place. This current rule will remain in place until April 15. Meanwhile, the French League Cup final between PSG and Lyon on April 4 has been postponed.
Following the news about Real Madrid's players being quarantined, La Liga bosses have responded by halting all La Liga fixtures for the next two matchdays - which goes up to April 5. The Copa del Rey final, which will be contested between Real Sociedad and Atletic Bilbao, has also been postponed. That game was penciled in to take place on April 18.
Similarly to football in England, it is still pretty much business as usual as far as the Bundesliga in Germany is concerned. All matches this coming weekend will be played in normal circumstances, except for RB Leipzig's clash with Freigburg, with that contest taking place behind closed doors.
Elsewhere around Europe
Away from Europe's top-five leagues, problems are just as big as the battle against coronavirus continues. The Swiss Football League has been put on hold until March 23 whilst all football-related activity in Denmark has been postponed until March 29 at the very earliest.
In Belgium, the Belgian Cup final between Club Brugge and Antwerp that was penciled in to take place on March 22 has also been postponed.
In Holland, just three matches have been postponed due to Covid-19, those being Willem II vs Heerenveen, PSV vs FC Emmen and RKC Waalwijk vs FC Groningen, all of which were due to take place this coming weekend.
And in Scotland, it seems as though fixture postponements are now just days away with reports claiming that mass-gatherings of 500 people or more will be cancelled.
Three Leicester players are self-isolating
Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that three members of his squad are being isolated after showing coronavirus symptoms, as the outbreak continues to sweep across the UK.
The government is expected to announce today that they are moving into the 'delay' phase of their plan, which would likely lead to the implementation of social distancing measures - including football matches being played behind closed doors.
However, the news from Leicester means that, by the Premier League's own admission, it could be difficult for the season to be completed.
In an email sent to clubs last week, seen by the BBC, the Premier League warned: "The first team environment is especially crucial: an outbreak affecting the first team of just one club could make completing the season very difficult to achieve."
Leicester played Aston Villa on Monday and are due to face Watford at the weekend. However, it's difficult to see those matches going ahead if any of the three players being isolated test positive for coronavirus.

Hopefully there will some clarity over what is going to happen this weekend and beyond for football.

Blackburn team news
As per our colleagues at Lancs Live, Blackburn will welcome back defender Darragh Lenihan for the visit of Bristol City following a two-game suspension.
Lenihan has been a mainstay of the Blackburn defence all season and in his absence, they conceded three to Derby and two against Swansea.
Former City defender Derrick Williams is also back in contention after overcoming a calf injury.
Blackburn manager Tony Mowbray said:
Both are available and both have been training this week.
Darragh's presence on the training ground is a big plus for us. He's been training with us, but you can feel his extra intensity knowing that he's back now and over his suspension.
I'm looking forward to putting that combination of Lenihan and Adarabioyo back together and hopefully it results in cleans sheets and victories.

Gary Johnson on COVID-19
Former Bristol City manager Gary Johnson has said he fears for the rest of the football season due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The current Torquay United boss was speaking to the media at the Devon club's training ground about the virus, in what will be the last press gathering at the ground due to FA guidelines.
Johnson, dad of current City manager Lee, said he has never seen anything likes this in football and admits he doesn't know what is going to happen.

UEFA issue statement
UEFA has scheduled a meeting involving all 55 member nations to discuss European football's response to the outbreak.
All five of the continent's top-five leagues have been heavily affected by the spread of the virus, with the Premier League seeing it's first match postponed on Wednesday.
On the continent, Italy's Serie A and Spain's La Liga has been suspended, while the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 is holding matches behind closed doors following outbreaks in their nations.
Reports had suggested that UEFA was set to suspend both the Champions League and Europa League this season but UEFA have now confirmed their approach, with a meeting scheduled for next Tuesday.
A UEFA statement read: "In the light of the ongoing developments in the spread of COVID-19 across Europe and the changing analysis of the World Health Organisation, UEFA has today invited representatives of its 55 member associations, together with the boards of the European Club Association and the European Leagues and a representative of FIFPro, to attend meetings by video conference on Tuesday 17 March to discuss European football's response to the outbreak.
"Discussions will include all domestic and European competitions, including UEFA EURO 2020. Further communication will be made following those meetings."
Five days to organise a Skype call ... seems a little slow.
Premier League club being tested for coronavirus
A unnamed Premier League club is being tested for coronavirus, according to the Telegraph's Jason Burt.
Three players have displayed symptoms and will undergo the tests as the Premier League and EFL get ever closer to being played behind closed doors.

Winter can be a busy season, what with all the holidays and New Year resolutions. But it's also the best possible season to look out the window, note the snowstorm or the slush or the cold, and refuse to dash through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh. Sometimes it's better to snuggle back under those warm covers with a good book instead! Here's a few of the Inn's favourite cold-weather reads.
Look, there's a reason each book's release date was set for winter! The Winternight Trilogy is the coming-of-age story of Vasya, a girl living in medieval Russia. Vasya can see and talk to "chyerti" (traditional spirits and creatures from Russian folklore) at a time when their power is fading in favour of Christianity. The books feature cozy fairytales told round the oven, an actual god of winter, and a wonderfully chilling wintry atmosphere.
Christmas in our world has passed, but there's still time to celebrate Hogswatchnight*! The Auditors (i.e. celestial bureaucrats) wish to eliminate the Hogfather (i.e. Santa Claus but with tusks), as he brings too much chaos into the world. Death (i.e. Death) and his granddaughter Susan must work together to stop the Auditors and bring back Christmas Hogswatchnight. If you've never tried a Discworld book before, this is a perfect place to jump in!
* It's on December 32nd.
Teyr is a mercenary-turned-merchant who dreams of building a road to link together disparate clans, thus encouraging trade and discouraging conflict between them. The subject matter here is pretty dark, and there's a tonne of violence, but behind all that is a protagonist who drives this novel forward through sheer force of love and will. Nothing like some heartwarming grimdark to keep the chill away on a cold night.
Cassandra Harwood was the first woman magician, but she lost all her magic four months ago. Now she's stuck in a snowbound manor trying to avoid politicians, former colleagues, and most of all her stubborn but sweet ex-fiancé. What she can't avoid is a magical deadline given to her by a malevolent elf lord… Snowspelled is a charming and heartwarming Fantasy of Manners novella.
Sabriel is to be a necromancer. Or rather, she's to be a reverse necromancer: her family is tasked with the duty to put the Dead back to rest. When she receives word that her father is in trouble, she must leave her boarding school, and instead pick up her snow shoes, sword, and magical, Death-controlling bells. Sabriel is a classic YA book with the perfect touch of wintry creepiness.
[Release date is January 29th!] Set in the icy lands of North America around a thousand years ago, it tells the story of the Inuit hunter and shaman Omat. Omat seeks to save her village, who are starving because the seal have stopped coming. To do so, she must go on a journey and regain favour with the spirits. The book is chock-full of vivid cold-weather imagery and tries to portray both Inuit culture and the newly-arrived Viking culture in as much detail as possible, so definitely check it out when it's out!
A snowy, Slavic-themed retelling of Rumpelstiltskin. Miryem comes from a family of moneylenders. When she takes over her father's job, she proves far better at it than he was. In fact, she's good enough for a rumour to spread that she can spin silver into gold. Unfortunately, that rumour then reaches the ears of the Staryk: otherworldly fae creatures who take words a little too literally and now have a task for Miryem.
A charming festive fantasy, full of Vikings, Frost Giants, Santa, and a cranky witch. Volgha, said cranky witch, gets asked by the Norse god Loki to split his mind in two. You see, Loki wishes to set a riddle good enough to stump the greatest trickster ever (i.e. himself); he needs one Loki to set the riddle and one to solve it. This… obviously doesn't end great. The Winter Riddle is a lighthearted, funny adventure with a bit of heart.
Finally, there's the granddaddy of them all. How can you resist a story about a land where it's always winter but never Christmas?
And that's it for us, so now we turn it over to you! What are your favourite reads to cozy up in front of the fireplace with?

Jerónima is a Spanish artist born in 1997 in Mallorca.
In 2019 she graduated as a Space Designer at Elisava, the School of Design and Engineering in Barcelona.
Afterward, she settles in Madrid where she studied a Master in Management at IE Business School. From the age of 16 she developed in the plastic arts, looking into the disciplines of photography and painting. During the years in which she worked on photography in a more intense way, she won several awards in the city of Palma. At the age of 21, she traveled to London to study a Contemporary Fine Arts curse at the University
of The Arts of London, an experience that allowed her to experiment with photography and connect with painting.
Jerónima held her first painting exhibition, Arenes, in Pollença in 2016. Arenes is a series of twenty-one artworks inspired by the shapes, materials and colors of the coasts of the island of Mallorca and the Mediterranean. This work becomes the starting point of Jerónima's trajectory and her relationship with painting. Most of Jerónima's artistic practice is abstract and suggestive, and is characterized by the combination of texture and a particular chromatic range. The artist works from an experimental perspective, elaborating artworks where raw materials, such as concrete, plaster or sand, are the main character to generate volumes evoking manipulated natural morphologies. Jerónima likes to approach her work as a constant experimentation to translate into a plastic and abstract language the feelings and emotions of concrete circumstances of the artist's life. The concern for the visual beauty, the physical, tension, falling in love, energy or the human being are some of the concepts she has worked on. I try to converge a feeling into a concept, which I translate through textures and colors. The intention is to connect with the worked concept and awaken an emotion in the viewer. Creating a link that links him with a lived experience. The work is no longer personal, but shared; a constant reinterpretation of my work.
Jerónima currently works full time as an artist in her studio in Llucmajor, Mallorca.

iWork for iCloud: Not Enough
posted in iwork on June 14, 2013
iWork '09 for the Mac released on January 6, 2009. 2009! That is 1,619 days ago. I use the heck out of iWork. In an industry that thrives on Microsoft Word, I surreptitiously write legal documents in Pages. I run a legal practice and publishing business out of Numbers and I largely pay for my shoes giving Keynote presentations. You could say I'm invested.
So when Roger Rosner took the stage on Monday and explained he was going to talk about iWork, I felt like I was finally getting the update for Mac that I've been waiting for so long. I know the tech world is full of hyperbole but in this case the term "so long" is correct.
In January 2009, when iWork '09 was released, I was thrilled. They added some revolutionary new features (like Magic Move and Instant Alpha) that immediately both made me more productive and made my work look better. It was love at first sight. By early 2010 I was ready to fall in love again. What new feature would iWork get to make me look smarter? Then Steve took the stage to introduced the world to the iPad and a fully working version of iWork for iPad.
"That's okay", I told myself. "They didn't have time to make a new Mac version. In 2011, I'm going to get a new iWork for my Mac and I'm sure it will be double the sexy." Then 2011 rolled around and iWork for iPad got a lot better but there was no new Mac version. Indeed that has been the case every year since 2009. Apple has iterated repeatedly on the iOS versions, taking them a long way. I've been consoling myself on this lack of Mac update with noticeable improvements on the iPad. Now I can even track changes in Pages on the iPad. Incredible.
Nevertheless, I still look at the iWork '09 box on my shelf and think wistfully about four years' worth of innovations that never shipped. "This year", I told myself as WWDC approached. "This is the year that I will get a new version of iWork for Mac." What we got instead was a promise of some future update for the Mac and a demonstration of iWork for iCloud, a product which, in its current form, I will almost never use.
Don't get me wrong. What Apple did with iWork in a web browser is impressive. I didn't think it was possible to pull off the intricate graphic operations they demonstrated at WWDC in a browser. Nevertheless, the web versions of the iWork apps aren't as good as the native Mac versions. I won't be able to manage tiny granular animations and object transitions the way I can on my Mac. Those four year old features I love aren't going be in the iCloud versions any time soon.
I understand web apps are a large part of the future of computing and the advantage that comes with any modern web browser—even one on a Windows machine—running iWork. However, this isn't something us iWork users in the trenches need right now. We need power and innovation on the platform we use every day. We need a new Mac version.
Also missing from the iWork for iCloud presentation was any mention of the best reason to put an office app on the web, collaboration. I've never been happy with the feature set of any of the web-based office solutions. They don't have the features we get with native apps and are often ugly as sin. There is, however, one redeeming feature in collaboration. Multiple people can work on the same online document at once. Google has mastered this so that I can write one paragraph while watching a colleague (or two or three colleagues) write another paragraph on the same page. iCloud for iWork doesn't support this. Maybe online collaboration is on the roadmap for iWork for iCloud but there was no mention of it on Monday.
What I'd really like is for Apple to stop toying with my heart. It's okay to start building web versions and continue to improve upon the iOS versions. All of that is important. However, before doing anything else, deliver a new version of iWork for the Mac that throws me head over heels in love all over again.

In 30 years, 70% of the world's population will live in cities, so in the future, city mayors will become more important than politicians and the really visionary mayors will be the real leaders in sustainable development. There are so many options for patients and doctors. By working together and by opening up from both sides, you can create a team, which is going to make life better for both the doctors, the team treating the patient, and the patient, who starts feeling less like a patient and more like a human being who is getting help. Anything that can give hope every time you meet, without distorting reality, is worth so much.

Restrictions on J&J vaccine and is smoking and vaping better than just smoking?
Good morning and happy Friday. Welcome back to the Friday Pulse Check.
FDA restricts the use of Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine
This is perhaps the biggest medical story of the week. The FDA made the decision because of the risk of rare but serious blood clots. Under the new restrictions, the J&J jab can be given to people who had a severe allergic reaction to one of the other vaccines and cannot receive an additional dose. It can also be given to people who refuse the mRNA vaccines and would otherwise remain unvaccinated. As of mid-March, there have been sixty identified cases of the rare blood clot; that's about one blood clot case per 3.23 million doses given. Nine of them were fatal. Pfizer and Moderna's shots are still the most administered in the US. More than 200 million Americans have received one of the mRNA shots compared to only 17 million who have received J&J's shot.

New study shows smoking and vaping is no healthier than smoking alone
Among 24,000 men and women, smoking cigarettes and e-cigarettes did not reduce the risk of heart attack, heart failure, stroke, or any cardiovascular disease when compared to people who only smoked. Normally, I wouldn't have included this type of article in the news, but we discussed the possibility of the FDA banning or restricting menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars on the FLATLINING Podcast this week. Smoking is dangerous and it appears that combining it with vaping is not much better.
Pig heart transplanted into Maryland man had an animal virus
You may remember that back in January, a Maryland man had a first-of-its-kind heart transplant. He was given a pig heart. It was a last-ditch, experimental effort to save his life. It was not known if the patient, David Bennett, would survive the surgery, a day, a week, or however long it might be. According to Mr. Bennett's son, he was aware of this. Mr. Bennett died in March and now doctors have discovered that the pig heart had an animal virus, although they are not sure if this is what caused his death.
It appears our podcast this week caught the attention of one of the authors of the articles we were discussing. We disagreed with an article called "Question Your Doctor" published on RealClear Books and Culture this week written by a physician calling himself (or herself) Paracelsus. The author said on Twitter that he is writing a rebuttal, and all I can say is that we look forward to reading it and his new book that was released this week. He's also welcome to come on the podcast to discuss his positions with us.

Latest episode of the FLATLINING Podcast
Also on the FLATLINING Podcast this week, we discussed the downsizing of a Hammond, Indiana hospital and the outrage it has caused in that community. Franciscan Health currently operates a 226-bed hospital there, but by the end of the year, it will be downsized to an emergency room, eight beds, and some outpatient services. The catch is that it is the lowest-rated hospital in the county by Medicare and Franciscan Health operates a newer and better hospital nearby. I wrote about Franciscan Health Hammond earlier this week and explained why the non-profit health system should be applauded for making an economic decision.

Turning to Ukraine, US lawmakers are calling on the Biden Administration to set up field hospitals in the war-torn country. The Russians have launched strikes on hospitals and other non-military targets, severely limiting Ukraine's ability to care for sick and wounded people. It is an interesting idea, however coming directly from the United States and not from someone like the World Health Organization or Doctors Without Borders could be seen as the US directly entering the conflict, which President Biden has vowed not to do. Despite the thoughtfulness of the idea, I do not believe we will be seeing US Army CSHs anytime soon (CSH is the replacement for MASH, meaning Combat Support Hospital and Mobile Army Surgical Hospital Respectively). I certainly don't expect a witty, sometimes serious, army hospital-themed sit-com to come out of the Ukrainian-Russian war either.

First, let's focus on what I mean when I say testing. When I'm talking about testing I'm talking about writing a suite of both unit and integration tests that can be ran in an automated environment. Any software product goes through some sort of QA testing, however this is typically a manual process. Unit tests are written alongside the code you write that test only that code. In a perfect world you would be writing your tests before you write your code — utilizing a method called Test Driven Development — but the best first step you can take is just writing any tests at all!
For those who want some numbers as to why testing is important a paper with case studies from both Microsoft and IBM reported defects in software were reduced 40-90% with just a 15-35% increase in initial development time. It's important to note that the increase in development time was quickly recovered with the lack of maintenance time. You can find a quick overview of the paper (and a link to the paper itself) here: Empirical Studies Show Test Driven Development Improves Quality.
My personal favorite reason for testing (and in my opinion the most important) is preventing regressions. A regression is something you once had working only to fail at a later date. Have you ever fixed a bug and then later that bug pops back up forcing you to fix it again? Or you've fixed a bug in one part of the code only to inadvertently create one or two in a different feature. Those are regressions and are a maintenance cost referenced in the paper above.
Tests verify our code is working as we expect it to and we are also clearly stating what we expect. In fact, when you're working with a new code base one of the best places to start figuring out what specific methods and classes do and how they integrate together is to read the tests.
With a good test suite you also enable other developers to be confident that the code they are contributing to your project is free of defects. For example I am in the process of adding methods to another team's API, but there are no tests written for that API. I am essentially throwing code up and hoping that it doesn't break anything because there is no way to effectively prove that I am not. The key word here is effectively. Someone — probably multiple people, actually — has to sit down and manually test every code path.
When vetting code that others have contributed to my projects, I don't accept pull requests that have new features without tests in them. Prove to me that the code you wrote works, and that you haven't broken anything that has already been proven to be working. I know this because I have a suite of tests for the code we already have, if they all pass then nothing has been broken with the code changes.
A good test suite is also key to constructing a good build pipeline. A good build pipeline will enable you to start running Continuous Integration and eventually even Continuous Delivery/Deployment instead of manual deployments. At a minimum, a build pipeline will allow you to just run your tests without having to manually pull the code down and do it yourself, saving you the extra steps. By taking manual procedures out of the picture and automating them, we are able to reduce the amount of problems that can arise due to human error. The less I have to touch, the less I can screw up.
By having an automated test suite, and a good build pipeline, a regression would never make it into past a pull request, let alone into a staging environment or production. If you accidentally break something that was already working and tested, you would know as soon as you run the tests, enabling you to still be in the context of what you just wrote instead of having a QA team (or even worse: the client or the end-user) find it days, weeks, or months later.
Over the next few weeks I plan on following this post with one that builds on what makes a unit test good or bad, and then a series on writing an SDK for a fake API that we want to consume and we're going to write our tests first.


The common calculation tools found in the market are generally based on heavily simplified calculation methods (catalog methods), in which the bearings are considered in a rigid and isolated manner rather than an elastic concept at their precise location in the shaft system. This means that no account is taken either of the load and displacement characteristics of the bearings due to shaft deflection or of elastic behavior of the rolling element contacts. Furthermore, the internal load distribution in the bearings – which plays a decisive role in the fatigue life – is normally determined by means of approximation methods.
BEARINX-online can be used to determine the influence of shaft deflection and the elasticity of rolling contacts on the bearings. In the case of the internal load distribution, the profile data of the rolling elements and the raceways are taken into consideration. In order to calculate the operating clearance, input wizards are available that allow information to be entered on temperatures, tolerances and roughness of the rings and bearing seats. In addition, stiffness at the operating point can be calculated.
BEARINX-online helps you calculate single-axis shaft systems with nested bearing supports.
BEARINX-online uses the same calculation models and algorithms as in the full version of BEARINX, since both programs are based on the same source code.
Bearings and bearing data from the complete Schaeffler catalog range are available in an integrated database and can be transferred into the model. The calculations themselves are performed on a powerful calculation server located at Schaeffler.
Calculation files created in BEARINX-online are compatible with the full version of BEARINX, which means that these calculation files can be easily exchanged, giving easier communication with our engineering service and avoiding duplicate work.
Analysis of your design variants is aided by the transparent documentation of results in HTML format and the graphical representation of shaft reactions and internal load distribution in the bearings as well as Hertzian pressure curves for roller bearings.
A help system and an online learning program helps you to utilise the full potential of BEARINX-online.
BEARINX-online offers detailed calculation of the modified reference rating life in accordance with ISO TS 16281 (English) or DIN 26281 (German) based on the current level of technical expertise.
The development of BEARINX-online is not intended as a way of transferring advice and calculation services from Schaeffler to the customer. Quite the opposite - we want to work with you more closely than ever. The objective is to make a suitable preliminary selection of bearings in the early design phase, in order to shorten development times within your Company.
If you request 'Approval' for BEARINX-online Shaft Calculation, this initiates an internal decisionmaking process which, if successful, will lead to the offer of a contract.
Once the contract is signed, we will create a logon and invite you to attend a one day training course at the Schaeffler Academy in Herzogenaurach. This will be followed by final authorization to use the calculation module.
For colleges, the introduction of BEARINX-online Shaft Calculation is free of charge.
BEARINX-online Shaft Calculation is intended for provisional design of products only. For final design and selection of products, assistance should be sought from the relevant parts of the Schaeffler engineering service.

Auto-Guide™ 3000
AGCO builds on its reputation for developing compatible, cost-effective and easy-to-use technologies.
By Tharran E. Gaines
With plug-and-play convenience, Auto-Guide 3000 offers integration across a range of agricultural equipment brands, including Massey Ferguson® and other AGCO-made machines. The new system is also compatible with all GLONASS satellites, in addition to WAAS, OmniSTAR XP, G2 and HP subscription, and RTK GNSS signals. In fact, its high quality and reliability were driven by extensive testing at nine different AGCO manufacturing sites around the globe.
"Our new guidance solution, the Auto-Guide 3000, has been the most extensively tested guidance product that has come from AGCO to date," says Matt Rushing, vice president, product management, AGCO Advanced Technology Solutions (ATS) and EFG. "It's a solution that both customers and dealers can place a high level of confidence in."
Ease of use is key, notes Rushing. "AGCO has taken steps to design its next generation of guidance solutions to be simple to operate." With Auto-Guide 3000, he adds, "it's also fully scalable from sub-meter to centimeter accuracy."
"It's getting to the point that assisted steering is a standard requirement for most large farmers in North America," adds Dave Swain, manager, AGCO ATS marketing. "Steering and guidance are the most basic precision-ag functions and are the foundation for almost every operation in the growing cycle.
"One of the greatest benefits of the Auto-Guide 3000 is that it can be integrated right into the same C1000 tractor monitor that the operator uses to control his tractor, White planter or Hesston® by Massey Ferguson baler," Swain continues, noting that the system features straight-line, pivot and contour modes. "The same goes for the C2100 monitor in Massey Ferguson combines.
"This eliminates the need for an extra monitor in the cab and helps the operator focus on the field, since all the information he or she needs is in one location." However, notes Swain, for more advanced characteristics and functionality, an optional monitor is available that offers a larger screen and more dedicated functions.
Auto-Guide 3000 is currently available as a factory-installed option on select Massey Ferguson and other AGCO-made tractors and combines, and on Hesston by Massey Ferguson self-propelled windrowers. It's also offered as an aftermarket add-on.
For more information about the new Auto-Guide 3000 system, contact your local Massey Ferguson dealer or visit myFarmLife.com/autoguide. >>

Generators, labor groups urge New York to develop incentives for nonrenewable generation
Flickr; Doc Searls
Independent power producers in New York have partnered with labor unions to petition the state to support development of nonemitting generating resources not currently defined as renewable, potentially leading to investment in carbon capture, green hydrogen, nuclear and renewable natural gas.
New York wants to decarbonize its electric sector by 2040, and wind and solar alone will not be sufficient to meet that goal, according to Independent Power Producers of New York (IPPNY) President and CEO Gavin Donohue. "There is no single technology that is the answer," he said in an email.
Renewables advocates concede the state will need some forms of nonemitting, dispatchable power in the future, but they say the electric sector's focus for now should remain on developing more storage, transmission, wind and solar.
New York passed the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act in 2019, requiring 70% of its electricity to come from renewable sources by 2030 and 100% zero-emission electricity by 2040, en route to full decarbonization of the state's economy a decade later. The first goal is in reach, generators say, but eliminating all emissions will require the development of new technologies, and they want the state to assist.
"If New York State executes properly, our grid can handle the transition to 70% renewables by 2030. But how we reach zero emissions by 2040 while maintaining reliability is a massive question mark," Donohue said. "There is no single technology that is the answer, and we need all solutions on the table."
IPPNY, along with the New York State Building & Construction Trades Council and New York State AFL-CIO, has petitioned the state's Public Service Commission (PSC) to develop a "new competitive program or tier under the Clean Energy Standard to encourage the development of zero emitting electric generating facilities that are not renewable energy systems."
IPPNY underpins its petition with analysis like the 2020 Energy and Environmental Economics (E3) report, conducted for the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, which concluded "firm capacity resources will be needed to ensure year-round reliability, especially during periods of low renewables output."
"The PSC can send the needed investment signal to foster the development of the zero emission, dispatchable resources we need," Donohue said.
The generators and unions want the new program or clean energy tier to encourage a minimum of 1 GW of firm capacity to commence commercial operation by 2030.
The groups have asked regulators to make a determination by July 2022 that nonrenewable, zero-emissions energy systems "are likely to be technically capable by 2030 of providing the operating flexibility and dispatchability to provide the necessary reliability services that have historically been provided by fossil-fueled generating resources."
'False sense of urgency'
Conservation advocates say even if dispatchable resources are needed, the priority at the moment remains renewables and other nongenerating technologies.
"New York's focus now should be on building renewable electricity facilities, like wind and solar," Clean Energy New York Executive Director Anne Reynolds said in an email. The state "has a long way to make it to 70% renewables by 2030," and it should be investing in transmission, batteries, research and development for long-duration storage, wind and solar.
"By 2040, New York will need some dispatchable zero-emissions power, but how much we will need depends on our success with renewables, transmission and storage, so that should clearly remain the focus in the near term," Reynolds said.
With full decarbonization still nearly two decades away, IPPNY's proposal "represents a giant, unnecessary step backward for New York, manufacturing a false sense of urgency," Allison Considine, a campaign representative with the Sierra Club's New York chapter, said in an email.
Considine also warned that a broad definition of "zero emissions" could "perversely subsidize new fossil fuel generation and false solutions in the name of eliminating greenhouse gases."
New York is making progress on decarbonization, the E3 analysis points out. In the last 30 years, greenhouse gas emissions have fallen 13%, with most of those reductions coming from the electric sector, which has decreased emissions to more than 50% below 1990 levels.
The transportation sector is New York's largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, and it constitutes about 36% of the total. The electricity sector is about 15%, according to the report, which concludes that New York's need for firm resources "would be most pronounced during winter periods of high demand for electrified heating and transportation and lower wind and solar output."
E3 also notes that decarbonization could lead to significant electric system cost reductions, but just how deep those cuts would be is unclear. A grid with high penetrations of intermittent renewables paired with firm, zero-emission resources could lead to cost reductions ranging from 10% to 62%, the report said.

Geno Auriemma est un entraîneur italo-américain de basket-ball, né le  à Montella (Italie).

Biographie
Il est onze fois champion NCAA avec l'équipe féminine des Huskies du Connecticut (1995, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2010, 2013, 2014, 2015 et 2016). Il est l'entraîneur le plus titré du basket-ball universitaire féminin, Pat Summitt (Volunteers du Tennessee) étant restée à huit. En 2015, à l'occasion d'un troisième titre consécutif, il égale John Wooden, dix fois champion avec les masculins des Bruins d'UCLA, puis le dépasse en 2016 avec un , le quatrième consécutif.

Il est l'entraîneur de joueuses renommées comme Rebecca Lobo, Diana Taurasi, Tina Charles, Maya Moore, Breanna Stewart, Sue Bird…

Invaincues dans la saison régulière 2016-2017 malgré le départ de leurs trois meilleurs éléments à la draft WNBA 2016 — Breanna Stewart, Moriah Jefferson, Morgan Tuck —, les Huskies portent à 111 leur série de victoires consécutives, jusqu'à leur défaite 64 à 66 après prolongation en demi-finales du tournoi final NCAA 2017 contre les Bulldogs de Mississippi State. Ce  était aussi le  de Geno Auriemma en tournoi final, surpassant le record de 112 détenu jusque là par Pat Summitt.

En , il obtient son millième succès avec UConn après son , devenant (avec son assistante Chris Dailey) le coach à atteindre le plus rapidement cette barre que seuls ont atteint Pat Summitt, Tara VanDerveer et Sylvia Hatchell dans le basket féminin et Mike Krzyzewski pour les masculins.

Il dirige l'équipe féminine des États-Unis qui remporte le championnat du monde 2010, les Jeux olympiques de 2012, puis la médaille d'or du Championnat du monde 2014 en Turquie, puis l'or aux Jeux olympiques de 2016.

En 2022, il intègre le FIBA Hall of Fame.

Operacija božji srd (hebrejsko: מבצע זעם האל Mivtza Za'am Ha'el) je bila tajna operacija pod vodstvom Mosada, katere namen je bilo iskanje in eliminacija pripadnikov teroristične organizacije Črni seprember in pripadnikov Palestinske osvobodilne organizacije (PLO), ki so sodelovali pri pripravi napada na izraelske športnike na olimpijskih igrah v Münchnu leta 1972.

Operacija se je začela leta 1972, trajala pa naj bi več kot 20 let. V operaciji naj bi bilo po neuradnih podatkih skupno ubitih 20 - 35 ljudi, celoten seznam tarč pa je še danes skrivnost.

Načrtovanje operacije

Izrael je takoj po smrti športnikov v teroritičnem napadu v Münchnu izvedel napade na položaje Palestinske osvobodilne organizacije v Siriji in Libanonu. Premierka Golda Meir se je znašla pod pritiskom obveščevalnih služb, pa tudi izraelske javnosti, ki so zahtevale maščevanje v obliki atentatov na vse, ki so bili tako ali drugače udeleženi v načrtovanje in izvedbo terorističnega napada. Dodaten udarec za Izrael je bilo tudi nadaljevanje olimpijskih iger kljub tragičnemu dogodku, kasneje pa še izpustitev treh teroristov, ki so jih Nemci zajeli po napadu. Izpuščeni so bili v zameno za talce na ugrabljenem Lufthansinem letu 615.

V ta namen je bilo oblikovanih več skupin, ki so vsebovale specialiste za različna področja. Poleg atentatov so se izvajale tudi psihološke operacije, kot so objavljanje osmrtnic palestinskih aktivistov, ki so bili še živi, ter pošiljanje šopkov rož njihovim sorodnikom pred napadom s sporočilom: "Opomin, da ne pozabljamo in ne oproščamo".

Celotna operacija je v iskanje palestinskih aktivistov preusmerila precejšen del aktivnosti izraelskih obveščevalnih služb, kar naj bi bil tudi eden od vzrokov, zakaj obveščevalne službe niso pravočasno zaznale priprav na jomkipursko vojno leta 1973.

Izvedba operacije

Mosad je identificiral več oseb, ki so bile vpletene v teroristični napad v Münchnu, ali pa so bile kako drugače vidno povezane s Črnim septembrom ali PLO. Najbolj znani atentati so bili naslednji:

Med iskanjem Hasana Alija Salameha so Mosadovi agenti leta 1973 v Lillehammerju pomotoma ubili natakarja Ahmeda Boučikija, ki so ga zamenjali za Salameha. Šest agentov je zajela policija in jih priprla. S tem je bilo razkritih več podatkov o operaciji, razkrit pa je bil tudi del Mosadove obveščevalne mreže v Evropi. Izbruhnila je afera, ki je Goldo Meir prisilila, da ustavi operacijo. Čez pet let je njen naslednik Menahem Begin operacijo nadaljeval.

Mosadovi agenti so se v Londonu srečali tudi z informantom, ki naj bi imel informacije o Salamehu. Enega od agentov je zapeljala in kasneje ubila najeta morilka, ki so jo agenti kasneje našli v Amsterdamu in ubili. Nikoli ni bilo ugotovljeno, kdo jo je najel.

Odzivi

Črni september je po začetku ubojev palestinskih aktivistov izvedel tudi svoje povračilne akcije. Na izraelska veleposlaništva po svetu je bilo poslanih več pisemskih bomb. Ena od teh bomb je terjala življenje Amija Šahorija, izraelskega svetovalca za kmetijstvo v Londonu.

Črni seprember je napadel tudi izraelsko veleposlaništvo v Bangkoku, ki je bil krinka za načrtovan napad na letalo, s katerim je Golda Meir pripotovala v Rim na obisk k papežu. Mosadovi agenti so pravočasno odkrili palestinske aktiviste z ročnimi protiletalskimi sistemi in preprečili napad.

Palestinci so ubili tudi tri domnevne Mosadove agente in izraelskega vojaškega atašeja v ZDA.

Atentati so med Palestinci povzročili nemalo strahu, posebej šokantna zanje pa je bila operacija Vodnjak mladosti v Bejrutu,  saj je pokazala izraelsko pripravljenost, da izvede napad kjerkoli. Bejrut je bil takrat oporišče vidnih predstavnikov PLO.
Mnogo palestinskih aktivistov je v strahu pred atentatom tudi prenehalo s podpiranjem palestinskim vojaškim organizacijam, kar je precej zmanjšalo število palestinskih terorističnih napadov.

Power – Requires only 500 milliamps at 5 volts. Works with USB port or standard battery pack.
Captive Portal Isolation – Captive portals intercept and alter the connection between the user and the site they are trying to visit. GoSilent isolates your PC from Captive Portal exploits.
Easy – Plug-and-play functionality for any IP-enabled device (i.e. laptops, tablets, smartphones, loT, legacy devices).
PC Protection – GoSilent filters all data traffic. Your PC is protected from cyber-attacks, identity theft & malware.
IP Obfuscation – Security through obscurity, GoSilent randomizes your IP address of all in and outbound data traffic.

Commercial National Security Algorithm (CNSA) Suite – Top Secret level cryptography out of the box.
Deployment – Deploy from the cloud or on-premise. Optional self-provisioning automatically applies enterprise policies to any new device.
Using the Silent Edge cloud service, a user can access Internet resources without attribution from an untrusted region in the world. GoSilent secures a connection to a Silent Edge cloud server (which resides in a trusted region) and creates a secure "IPSec tunnel". The user's online activities transmit through this secure connection to a region that is considered more trustworthy, before allowing those requests to hit the open Internet. This removes the possibility of the connection being hijacked in the untrusted region and provides dual IP obfuscation through the use of different ingress and egress IP addresses. Silent Edge currently provides cloud servers in Virginia, US., Oregon, US., London, UK. and Frankfurt, DE.
Using the GoSilent Virtual Server, enterprises can deliver fast, secure and optimized access to data center applications and cloud services. As illustrated below, GoSilent secures a connection to the enterprise server and creates a secure "IPSec tunnel" inside the enterprise firewall. Users can securely access corporate resources without being exposed to attack over an open WiFi connection or open Internet. The GoSilent Server also secures IoT device communications in the field. Once GoSilent secures a connection to the enterprise server and creates a secure "IPSec tunnel" inside the enterprise firewall, IP-enabled devices can then securely retrieve or send and store data behind the corporate firewall.
Stateful Firewall and VPN Gateway.
Cybersecurity is about risk management and loss prevention, not just earnings, so any investment in security needs to demonstrate to the business that it is focused on defending what is of most value to the organization, its crown jewels – DATA.
