Q: Is motherboard built-in (onboard) graphics with 256 MB memory sufficient to support a screen with resolution 1080x1920? My Intel (DG33) motherboard has 256MB built in graphics memory. I want to buy a monitor whose resolution is 1080*1920. To support this resolution, do I have to buy a graphics card or built in motherboard memory would be enough?

A: It depends on what you'll you be doing with your system. For gaming, this is definitely not enough. If you're only browsing and doing stuff like that, you should be fine.
However you can get a real cheap graphics card for about 50$ these days.

Q: multivariable calculus unusual integration formula I was reading a book and he was measuring the rate of change of the volume of the fluid by the below integration formula :
$\frac { d }{ dt } volume(\Omega )=\iint _{ \partial \Omega  } \overrightarrow { u } .\hat { n }$
It is the first time I see an integration like this !
Where is the differential operator for example (dt , dx ..etx) ?
What does it mean to integrate over the boundary $\partial \Omega$ ?
What does it mean to integrate the dot product of the velocity and the normal component $\hat {n}$ ?
I don't understand it at all so please help me !

A: The key is to understand the physics for which this calculus was invented.  Here is an excellent source, from a brilliant lecturer (and a physics Nobel laureate):
http://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/II_03.html

A: I really believe $\vec{u}$ is understood to be the velocity vector. That was $\vec{u} \cdot \vec{n}$ is calculating the fluid moving in the direction normal to the surface. Think of the example where fluid flows at an angle $\theta$ relative to your surface $S$. If we allow $\vec{u}$ to be constant (i.e the velocity vector) then the black of water is a parallelepiped of volume $A \|\vec{u}_0\| \cos \theta$. If $\vec{n}$ is a vector normal to $S$ of length equal to the area of $A$, then we can write;
$$\textrm{Flow rate} = A \|\vec{u}_0\| \cos \theta = \vec{u_0} \cdot \vec{n}$$

In general the velocity field $\vec{u}$ is not constant and the surface $S$ may be curved. To compute the flow rate, we first parametrize $S$ using $G(u,v)$ and consider a small rectangle of size $\nabla u \times \nabla v$ that is mapped to a small patch $S_0$ of $S$. For any sample point $G(u_0,v_0)$ in $S_0$, the vector $\vec{n}(u_0,v_0) \nabla u \nabla v$ is a normal vector of length approximately equal to the area of $S_0$. The patch is nearly rectangular so we have;
$$\textrm{Flow rate through} \ S_0 \approx \vec{u}(u_0,v_0) \cdot \vec{n}(u_0,v_0) \nabla u \nabla v$$

$$\\$$
Now if we sum up the flow over all the patches we have;
$$\\$$
$$\textrm{Flow rate through S} = \iint_S \vec{u} \cdot d\vec{S} = \iint_D \vec{u}(x,y) \cdot \vec{n}(x,y) \ dA$$

Teleperformance Opens New Louisville Facility
Customer contact leader to create up to 750 new jobs; support members of the military
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Jan. 14, 2015) – Governor Steve Beshear and Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer today joined company officials and local leaders to celebrate the opening of Teleperformance's facility in eastern Jefferson County.
Teleperformance, a worldwide leader in multichannel customer experience management, is expected to create up to 750 new jobs and invest $13.2 million into the project. The company will provide support to members of the military.
"It is exciting anytime new jobs come to Kentucky, but it's especially exciting when a company that assists our military men and women decides to call the Commonwealth home," said Gov. Beshear. "This is a day of celebration for Louisville as well as all of Kentucky. We wish Teleperformance continued success and know it will be a valuable part of the community."
"Having a global industry leader make this kind of investment and creation of new jobs in Louisville is a huge addition to our recent momentum," Mayor Fischer said. "Teleperformance's confidence in our city and region and the valuable services they provide to veteran and active military families align perfectly with our goal of being the most veteran-friendly and supportive city in America."
Teleperformance cut the ribbon on its 50,000-square-foot facility off Ormsby Station Road. The location will serve a Fortune 500 company that provides customer services for banking, insurance, investment and retirement planning to current and former members of the U.S. military and their families. Teleperformance also plans to include additional business lines in the future.
"Our clients see Louisville as a terrific location from which to support their businesses," says Teleperformance President of Operational Delivery Miranda Collard. "They recognize the area's support of the U.S. military as well as the diversity and education of its people. Louisville is an ideal city for companies like ours and we are excited to be a part of this great community."
Teleperformance began operations in the U.S. in 1993 and employs nearly 25,000 people across the country. Teleperformance globally employs 175,000 people in 270 contact centers in 62 countries.
"I am happy to see up to 750 new job opportunities come to the area," said Sen. Julie Raque Adams, of Louisville. "I am excited to work on expanding the economic climate in Louisville for future job and economic growth."
"Since the days when we first fought for our own independence, Kentucky has had a strong tradition of supporting our men and women in the military, and many Kentuckians have fought and died to protect the freedoms we enjoy," said Rep. Ron Crimm, of Louisville. "I want to welcome TPUSA to Louisville as another corporate partner for our community and the Commonwealth."
To encourage the investment and job growth in Louisville, the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority preliminarily approved the company for tax incentives of up to $3.8 million through the Kentucky Business Investment program. The performance-based incentive allows a company to keep a portion of its investment over the term of the agreement through corporate income tax credits and wage assessments by meeting job and investment targets.

New Year, New Opportunity
Resolutions to Support
by Genie Jennings
in Op-Ed
It is a very nice thing that we choose to consider the year ending and beginning during winter, especially for those of us in the north. There is always so much to do during the other seasons, but when it is cold out, and particularly if there is snow, we can take time to contemplate life, the universe, and everything. We can sit quietly and think of things we have accomplished, or not; things we might want to fit into our lives in the future.
We enjoy the idea of ending one time frame, and anticipate making a new beginning. Many of us create "New Year's Resolutions." This might be a mental or physical list of tasks that we hope will make us a better or happier person. I have a notebook of projects that need to be accomplished. My daughter has a long list, but she includes a lot of enjoyable things to do.
Several times in the year's first issue I have suggested some or all of the previous fall's Gun Rights Policy Conference's Resolutions as possible issues to tackle. The Resolutions are submitted by individuals who attend the conference, reviewed by the Resolutions Committee, and discussed and accepted or rejected by the people who attend. I keep only those that are accepted by the delegates.
Today, I would like to share with you some of my favorites. Hopefully, if something strikes you, it can become a goal for you during this new year.
In 1986 at the first GRPC, Linda Farmer of Georgia introduced a resolution that has been approved at every GRPC that "an attack on one class of firearm is an attack on all classes of firearms."
The Second Amendment prohibits the government from infringing on the people's right to keep and bear arms, not firearms. This distinction is quite important as technologies change. Our founders understood two principles. First, that free people need to be able to defend themselves, and, second, that a government of the people has no reason to fear an armed population. The Farmer Resolution has been amended over time to include not only firearms but knives and by extension any form of arms, and, also to include any parts and accessories of those arms. It now reads, "an attack on any class of arms or components thereof is an attack on all classes of arms."
Over a decade ago, as national spokeswoman for the Second Amendment Sisters, I introduced the following resolution, which was approved at that and every consequent GRPC. "Whereas: We have a right to life; we have a right to protect that life and the lives of those around us; we, therefore, have a right to the means to do so; and Whereas: 'gun-free zones' deny us the means to protect our lives, and thereby put our lives at risk, Now, therefore, be it resolved that: 'gun-free zones' be eliminated wherever they exist."
In 2017, Laura Carno of Colorado submitted this resolution:
"Whereas: Children deserve our protection, and it is our duty to provide that protection; and Whereas: The response time for law enforcement to an active killer event often exceeds 10 minutes, wherein countless innocent lives can be lost; and Whereas: A uniform, whether that of sworn law enforcement or security guard, does not endow special ability to protect the innocent; and Whereas: Responsible school personnel are capable of being trained to act to save lives; and Whereas: teachers and school staff are the true first responders at the school; and Whereas: there are programs such as Faculty Administrator Safety Training and Emergency Response (FASTER) which provide such training to save lives; Now, therefore, be it resolved that we will implement such programs in our local school systems."
Information on this program is available at fastersaveslives.orgfastersaveslives.orgfastersaveslives.org. FASTER does more than simply eliminating 'gun free zones' around our schools. (Every school shooting demonstrates the failure of that concept to protect our children.) FASTER trains school personnel not only how to defend against an assailant, it teaches how to perform life-saving procedures. The majority of fatalities in multiple-victim assaults are not from gunfire, or knife wounds, but from bleeding. There are products and techniques available that can prevent those deaths.
Also in 2017, from Jeff Knox of Arizona and director of The Firearms Coalition. "Whereas: The future of recognition of the right to arms is at extreme risk if those rights do not receive greater support from minority communities; and Whereas: political partisanship drives a wedge between the gun rights community and minority communities; Now, therefore, be it resolved that we should all make every effort to refrain from engaging in divisive, partisan rhetoric when talking about these issues; and It is further resolved that we declare our unwavering commitment to support the right to arms of all persons, regardless of race, heritage, political ideology, or other factors unrelated to arms rights; and (added by the Resolutions Committee)It is further resolved that we each will take the Tiffany Challenge by: 1. Finding someone in our area or workplace who is different from us, and having a conversation. 2. Finding the common ground between us. 3. Understanding that language and jokes that are meant to be benign can be hurtful and/or offensive to others."
This past fall, Willes Lee of Hawaii, NRA Board of Directors, stated it a bit differently. "Whereas: We want our Second Amendment rights in the future, and Whereas: we need to grow the base of people who support the Second Amendment, Now, therefore, be it resolved that: we will get out of our comfort zones and invite newcomers to the gun community and non-gun owners to a competition, to the range, on a hunt, or to GRPC next year."
A few years ago, one of the people who is a member of the NGO protecting our Second Amendment rights at the United Nations mentioned in his report to the conference that a member of one of the other delegations told him, "You Americans are irrationally self-reliant." I believe the phrase is a perfect description of the difference between Americans and the rest of the world. At least some Americans. Historically, we are self-reliant. The people who came here from other lands did so at great personal risk. The people who set out across the frontier did the same. We are a nation of second sons, the ones who would not inherit, the ones who must do for themselves. Every family now living here in the United States has someone in their heritage who took that risk. For some of us, that person is not far removed. For some that person is us.
So, I give you one last candidate for what you might like to do in the coming year. My resolution submitted in 2015.
"Whereas, the formation of the government of the United States is unique; and Whereas, our Founding Documents proclaim that all individuals are endowed by their Creator with certain rights; and Whereas, these rights are by definition innate and not a product of deliberative thought; Therefore, be it resolved that we will go forth from this meeting and joyously act in what an outsider might describe as "irrational self-reliance" and encourage all our friends and colleagues to do the same."
Go forth with joy!

I recently read posts on several Android related blogs that made mention that T-Mobile now has the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition). I was hoping this news would include the Pro 12.2, yet no luck. AT&T and Verizon both have the 12.2.
I'm posting this to get a discussion going for us T-Mobile customers to express our interest for T-Mobile to carry this device. If there is word that T-Mobile plans to carry this device in the future, I would like to know.
Thanks for starting this discussion! I'm also keenly interested in the Note Pro 12.2 and especially the prospect of a T-Mobile version gracing our presence (hopefully sometime soon!), even though I just picked up the Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) on 6/4, the day it became available at T-Mobile in-store.
Perhaps like you, I'd like to be able to use the 12.2 with a wireless keyboard and mouse, a use case that would be somewhat hampered by the 10.1's smaller screen. A bigger sandbox for using the S Pen also sounds appealing, though the 10.1 is quite capable in that regard.
I suppose the slightly greater portability of the 10.1 is kind of nice, and some may find the 12.2 too big for toting around - though I'd probably be fine with it myself. If given the choice, I'd prefer the 12.2 over the 10.1, though having one of each wouldn't be too bad either, as they're both excellent devices, each catering to slightly different use cases (the 12.2 better suited as a laptop [or possibly even desktop] replacement). In terms of media consumption, both bring a lot to the table (or sofa).
Here's hoping T-Mobile soon expands their tablet portfolio to include the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2! And kudos to them for adding the Note 10.1 (2014 Edition). I'm loving it!
I love Tmobile and I have converted every single person I know around me from close friends to my father in law and got them to@@@ switch to Tmobile. But there is only one thing bugging me, and that is the fact that they don't have the note 12.2 pro yet!
Please please pretty please bring the note 12.2 pro! Or at least if you know there is a newer one coming just give us a little hope at the end of this tunnel!
Hmmm, on the second thought is this even the right site to post this request!

Q: MongoDB table records are not getting persisted with ES6 Promise.ALL I am new to MongoDB and working on small tutorial to create associations between tables in MongoDB.
As per the tutorial, we need to create association between three tables.
1. User table
2. BlogPost table
3. Comment table
User may have multiple blogpost and a blogpost may have list of comments and comment is also mapped with user.
User -> BlogPost -> Comment
I have written following test case to create three records and to test the association :
const assert = require('assert');
const User = require('../src/users');
const BlogPost = require('../src/blogPost');
const Comment = require('../src/comment');

describe('Association', () => {
    let ascUer, blogPost, comment;

    beforeEach( (done) => {
        ascUer = new User({name:'associationUser'});

        blogPost = new BlogPost({title:'JS is great',content:'Yep, It is !!'});

        comment = new Comment({content:'Congratulation for the great poost !!!'});

        ascUer.blogPosts.push(blogPost);
        blogPost.comments.push(comment);
        comment.user = ascUer;

        /*
        // THIS IS NOT WORKING
        Promise.all([ascUer.save(),blogPost.save(),comment.save()])
            .then(() => done());
        */

        ascUer.save()
            .then(() => {
                console.log('***********Association user saved ***************');
                blogPost.save()
                    .then(() => {
                        console.log('***********Blogpost  saved ***************');
                        comment.save()
                            .then(() => {
                                console.log('***********Comment  saved ***************');
                                done();
                            });
                    });
            });
    });

    it.only('Saves a relation between a user and a blogpost', (done) => {
        User.findOne({name:'associationUser'})
            .populate('blogPosts')
            .then((user) => {
                console.log(user);
                done();
            });

    });
});

I am facing weird behavior while running the test case with help of mocha and nodeJs. The test case is getting executed successfully but only "user" table was created while using "Promise.All" feature of ES6. I have commented out "Promise.All" in above code snippet and one by one saving each of three records.
Below image show result of test case execution:

Below image shows snap of RoboMongo tool where only "user" table is present :

Updated : I also have created one more test case file "connection_helper.js" where I have written "beforeEach" block to make a DB connection and to drop all the schema before execution of any test cases.
Below image shows the project directory structure :

And below is the code written in "connection_helper" js file :
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
let isSchemaDropped = false;

mongoose.Promise = global.Promise;

before((done) => {
    mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/users_test');
    mongoose.connection
        .once('open', () => {
            console.log('Connected to Mongose DB !!');
            done();
        })
        .on('error', (error) => {
            console.warn('Error while connecting to Mongose DB !!',error);
        });

});

beforeEach((done) => {

        if(!isSchemaDropped){

            isSchemaDropped = true;
            console.log("Dropping database schema !!!");

            try{
                const {users,comments,blogposts,employees} = mongoose.connection.collections;

                users.drop(() => {
                    comments.drop(() => {
                        blogposts.drop(() => {
                            employees.drop(() => {
                                console.log("**********************************************");
                                console.log("**********************************************");
                                console.log("******Dropped All Schema******");
                                console.log("**********************************************");
                                console.log("**********************************************");

                            });
                        });
                    });
                });

            }catch(e){
                console.log(e);
            }

        }else{
            //console.log("Database schema is already dropped before !!!");
        }

        done();
});

Why ES6 "Promise.All" is not working properly in my system ? Any suggestions appreciated. You may also refer my code over GitHub : https://github.com/shahgunjan07/MongoDBTutorial.git for further details.

A: I think your issue is related to your beforeEach, which isn't properly waiting for all collections to be dropped before continuing with the tests. This could result in collections being dropped while your tests are running, causing unexpected behaviour.
Here's an alternative implementation:
beforeEach(() => {
  if (isSchemaDropped) return;
  isSchemaDropped = true;
  console.log("Dropping database schema !!!");

  const {
    users,
    comments,
    blogposts,
    employees
  } = mongoose.connection.collections;

  return Promise.all([
    users.drop(),
    comments.drop(),
    blogposts.drop(),
    employees.drop()
  ]);
});

The Good Fight, The Blacklist and a few other overdue returns - Yes please!!!!
OMG - MC is soooooo out of touch with subscribers it is frightening! Not only are we now bombarded with an overkill this reality show - but shows that used to air around 23H00 are now moved to air in the middle of the night to make place for this $%&#.
Tonight Mr Mercedes has been pushed back to 00H50! And similar things for all the other late night shows through the week. I pity the poor subscribers without PVR capabilities - you guys have dropped below zero in the MC customer care department!
For all those of non-PVR subscribers that never sleep - which MC obviously believes to be a substantial portion - other airings for Mr Mercedes are at 01H50, 03H35 and 04H35. Good luck!
So is this from the beginning or are we catching up with Season 4?
Can't believe programming on 101 had to make space for this! 101 should be screening quality drama, action, comedy - "reality" should be on 103.
I'm actually so fed up with this dumbing down of Premium, it is not worth R1000 p/m anymore. I am thinking of just going to NETFLIX only for my PREMIUM ENTERTAINMENT needs.
Another story from Thinus. M-Net is battling to find space for some premium series, making us wait for months or shifting series to other channels, yet they manage to find time & space to show 'n British reality trash series "Love Island" for 6 nights a week for 8 weeks at 23H00 from Monday 11 June.... This does NOT belong on M-Net!

State Sen. Scott Wiener of San Francisco was furious to learn in a recent Chronicle article that PG&E still hadn't turned on the lights at a children's museum, a public plaza and homeless shelter in the city.
On Friday, he fired off a letter to Pacific Gas and Electric Co. calling the delays unacceptable and demanding the utility take immediate action to power the new Navigation Center in Dogpatch, the Randall Museum in Corona Heights and the lights at Noe Valley Town Square.
"PG&E's inability or unwillingness to allow power delivery to these three projects is preventing their completion, and my constituents are paying the price. I request that PG&E take immediate steps to effectuate a prompt resolution to these power issues. I look forward to hearing PG&E's plan of action," Wiener wrote.
Wiener made sure other people in City Hall knew of his dissatisfaction as well. He copied the letter to Mayor Ed Lee, the heads of the Recreation and Park Department, Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing and the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, as well as Supervisors Malia Cohen and Jeff Sheehy — the projects are in their districts.
Before being elected to the state Senate in November, Wiener represented District Eight — Sheehy filled his seat — where the Randall Museum and Noe Valley Town Square are located. In his letter, Wiener said he was involved in discussions with PG&E about getting power delivery to the park as far back as October, when it opened.
Wiener also wrote that PG&E's delay in delivering power to the newly renovated Randall Museum had stalled the museum's opening by more than three months and increased the cost of the project.
As for the Navigation Center, Wiener chided the utility for hindering efforts to deal with the city's homeless crisis. "Our homeless services face so many challenges in identifying funding and locations; delivering basic services like power should not be one of those challenges," he wrote.
Sheehy said he believed PG&E was purposefully dragging its feet because it is unhappy with the city's push to sell clean power to PG&E customers through CleanPowerSF, depriving the utility of some of its customers. The utility, however, blamed the PUC for the delays because, it said, the commission was slow to provide information, changed the scope of the projects, or didn't submit payments on time.
Lee, who didn't take a position on the feud, is trying to negotiate a deal between the utility and PUC to get the projects up and running.

"Payers are the most insanely engaged people you can imagine"
Ex-Playdom creative director Eric Todd says free-to-play devs must design games for people who will average 5 hours of playtime a day
While many of the free-to-play sessions at this week's Game Developers Conference will go over the finer points of optimizing games for monetization, Orange Monkey Games founder and former Playdom creative director Eric Todd used his time at a microtalk session today to spell out three key fundamentals that developers need to get right before they concern themselves with any tinkering.
Obviously, a successful free-to-play game absolutely needs people to pay money. And Todd said there's one thing pretty much every free-to-play gamer who winds up paying money has in common.
"As best I can tell, payers are the most insanely engaged people you can imagine," Todd said. "They are freaking crazy about your game. And the bad news is that these are the only people who will pay you money in any significant numbers."
In looking over the performance of games he's worked on, Todd said the strongest correlation for payers was the amount of time they spent playing a game on a daily basis. He emphasized that point by breaking down the numbers for average daily playtime over the first week for one successful game he worked on. Those who never paid to play the game averaged 45 minutes a day. Those who didn't pay in the first week but were considered potential payers down the road played an average of two hours a day. Actual payers in that first week averaged five hours of playtime a day. None of the payers played for less than four hours a day, and the most devoted could spend up to 12 hours playing.
"It means you must support and reward such play, or your game will not monetize well," Todd said. "It absolutely means you must take this level of rabid engagement into consideration when you're designing your game up front. It is absolutely not something you can tack on later."
The leads to the next key fundamental for success: Long-term retention. If someone's playing the game that much, they're going to need new content, new mechanics, and widening social interactions over time if the developer wants to keep them from burning out or getting bored of the game. These fanatical players are hard enough to come by as it is, but every one that leaves the game is taking their long tail of revenue with them.
"It's not at all uncommon for more than 70 percent of the revenue for a player to occur after the first 30 days," Todd noted. "If your game is not designed to keep the lunatic fringe in your game engaged for months--and remember we're talking like five hours a day for most of these people--then you're leaving a lot of money on the table, and quite possibly most of it."
The final key fundamental is that players need to be given good reasons and opportunities to pay, whether it's accelerating progress through a game, tweaking the difficulty, gaining a competitive advantage, or simply expressing themselves with a cosmetic change for their characters. But developers have to be careful here. Todd said it's critical that players feel like the proposed deal is a fair one. If the difficulty of a level ramps up to nigh-impossible unless players spend money, that may help monetization numbers in the short-term, but it could easily backfire by turning fanatical players off and undermining retention in the longer term.
"If you've nailed the first two conditions, this one is pretty easy. What's hard is making players give a shit about your game and providing enough depth so the fanatics can engage as much as they want, and to keep that going over months and years... Your biggest objective is to create fanatical players. If you don't do this, you won't monetize. I guarantee it. Second, you have to retain those people indefinitely, if at all possible. You have to provide them with fair reasons to pay, and you absolutely have to design this into the core of your game upfront."
If developers don't have those fundamental elements in place, optimizations are pointless, Todd said. But if the basics are all in place, the optimizations are pretty easy to take care of.

Q: How can I fix this error when I'm counting the number of dots in a cell of Pandas? I'm just trying to count the number of times '.' appears in a cell of a Pandas data frame.
So I tried:
df['n dots'] = df['field'].count('.')

But I got the error:
KeyError: 'Requested level (.) does not match index name (None)'

How can I fix this?

A: Use str.count, you need to add a backslash or it will be interpreted as a regular expression
df['n dots'] = df['field'].str.count('\.')


Time and time again, I hear a similar phrase. Whether it's from an A&D Program graduate, a Cornerstone guest, or a staff member, the refrain is similar: "UGM has become my family." Wow.
Family can be a loaded word, evoking memories often cherished, and sometimes painful. Yet I think, when someone expresses that UGM is their family it's because they've found a community where they feel safe, secure, and loved.
As fall descends upon Vancouver, and Thanksgiving approaches, family is at the forefront of our minds. At UGM, the holidays give us a unique opportunity to connect with guests in family-like settings. Our Outreach team is instrumental in extending this hand up to hope that is essential in the colder months.
You are a part of our family too. Because of you, this fall those who need it will find a place of safety and dignity.
As a teenager, alcohol and drugs were a constant thread in Mike's life. Mike was highly social, and a star athlete. To him, partying was part of the package.
Mike's relationship with his family unravelled as he spent his paycheques on drugs. One day, with no place to sleep, Mike walked down the street to the Knight Street Bridge—and didn't leave for nine years. Eventually he found community with others struggling with similar addictions who were avoiding the often dangerous world of shelters in the Downtown Eastside. He recalls collecting empty bottles to fuel his drug habit. Little else mattered. Getting high was Mike's only priority.
Isolated and using drugs to cope with the pain, Mike felt there were few places to turn to for help with basic necessities like shelter, and food. However, one glimpse of hope came in the form of UGM's Mobile Mission.
Life right now is incredible for me, and it's all because of this place.
Mobile Mission staff built a relationship with Mike for six years, encouraging him to seek recovery, but he resisted, until one morning something changed.
"One Sunday, I just woke up and said, 'Ok, I've had enough.' I took my crack pipe, threw it against the wall and came down to UGM on my own." That day, Mike was accepted into Gateway. During a meal shortly after, Mike was overwhelmed by an intense pain in his stomach and was taken to the hospital where he was diagnosed with life-threatening pneumonia.
Committing to a structured Alcohol & Drug Recovery Program after nine years of living solitary was almost as hard as committing to being sober, but Mike graduated from the A&D program and maintained his sobriety for eight months before heading back to the river and relapsing. The setback didn't last long, and when Mike returned to UGM, the A&D Program staff could tell there was a change in his heart.
I don't know why I decided that day was the day, but it saved my life.

When Jenny, UGM's Housing Community Builder, accepted a contract to develop community amongst UGM's Affordable Housing residents, she was met with mixed responses—some residents excited about the prospect, and some uncertain about the benefits.
Jenny's love of the Downtown Eastside began in childhood as she witnessed her grandparents lovingly care for the tenants of an SRO building they owned. "My grandparents set a legacy in our family for really loving the DTES, having compassion for people, and understanding that every person has a story," she explains. Following their footsteps, Jenny's family has been managing the building since 2010—prioritizing connecting with the residents in meaningful ways.
I see it as UGM investing in not just getting people off the street, but getting them into a real life.
When the prospect of developing a similar community with UGM's Affordable Housing residents arose, she jumped at the opportunity to work with people already committed to lives of recovery.
Since the spring, Jenny has empowered residents to plan and run various activity groups that promote interaction, growth, and of course, community. People responded enthusiastically, beginning activities like morning coffee club, knitting club, grocery shopping groups, and movie nights.
Life-giving relationships are a key part of success in maintaining sobriety, giving someone support as they work to navigate a new way of living. Jenny is thrilled by the progress and hopes it continues long after her formal contract closes. "I see it as UGM investing in not just getting people off the street, but getting them into a real life. Helping them to have a life that they love," she says.
It's a common sight on Wednesday and Friday nights, regardless of the weather, to see teams of volunteers walking the streets of the Downtown Eastside equipped with a willingness to listen, blue rain jackets in case of a downpour, and most importantly: cups of steaming hot chocolate.
Every one of us craves community, belonging, and love. That's the same for any guest in our community.
Streetlight teams work alongside UGM's Outreach Staff to connect those in our neighbourhood with vital services when they need them. Yet the long-term relationships are what Dennis believes makes an impactful statement. "It's just a very simple way of showing the love of Christ to people. Every one of us craves community, belonging, and love. That's the same for any guest in our community." And so, twice a week, Streetlight spreads through the neighbourhood to point people towards hope and show them someone cares.

Arizona St. survives frantic finish in win over Oregon St.
Feb. 14, 2021 at 6:51 pm Updated Feb. 14, 2021 at 6:54 pm
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Despite an off-shooting night, Remy Martin scored 23 points and his 3-pointer with 37 seconds left broke a 68-all tie and Arizona State held on to beat Oregon State 75-73 in a wild finish on Sunday night.
Martin's go-ahead 3 was the only one he made in a 1-for-6 effort from behind the arc; part of a 5-for-18 overall effort. He made up for it, however, sinking 12 of 16 free throws.
Martin and Holland Woods each sank a pair of foul shots in a 13-second span to seal the win for Arizona State (7-9, 4-6 Pac-12 Conference).
Oregon State's Ethan Thompson made the first of two free throws with 13 seconds left to bring the Beavers within 73-71. Rodrigue Andela secured the offensive rebound and threw it out to Thompson, but a heads-up steal by Jalen House forced a tie-up between Woods and Thompson and the possession arrow favored Arizona State. Woods sank a pair of fouls shots with five seconds to go.
With the win, head coach Bobby Hurley hit the century mark in victories as the Sun Devils' coach. Hurley is 100-78 in six seasons at ASU.
The win was the Sun Devils' 12th straight at home against Oregon State (10-10, 6-8). Thompson led Oregon State with 18 points.
Oregon State returns home to face Utah on Thursday. The Sun Devils next head to Los Angeles to face 20th-ranked Southern California on Wednesday.

Bolton Thermal Recovery Facility Case Study Analysis
by mrzee February 24, 2021
The Thermal Recovery Facility (TRF) is managed and operated under the contract that was signed between the Greater Manchester Waste Disposal Authority (GMWDA) and Viridor Laing (Greater Manchester) Ltd., in order to continue creating energy sufficient to power 7,000 homes. By burning wastes, Bolton TRF produces energy to create electricity which is then transferred to the National Grid fore domestic use. Situated in Bolton, Raikes lane, BL3 2NH, this plant burns municipal waste from Salford CC, Bury MBC, Bolton MBC, and Rochdale MBC in different amounts. The waste material in itself is a mixture of trade, commercial and domestic wastes, and items that have been confiscated from customs and police departments. Also, the facilities and equipment that are fit and used in Bolton Thermal Recovery Facility heighten the need to consider the legal implications of BTRF.
This state above especially due to the fact that by the magnitude of the equipment and facilities that are found in BTRF directly and readily warrants the need to factor environmental and economic implications in BTRF's existence and operations. Among these facilities, materials and equipment are: an incinerator that has the capacity to burn municipal waste at about 16 tonnes per hour; the waste types that are collected and transported to the site; a large and deep reception pit; supplementary oil fired burners which ensure that temperature does not fall below 8500 C at all times; heat recovery boiler; a gas stream; filters; and international catering wastes. The BTFR has also had total operational hours that run up to 6,793. This means that Bolton Thermal Recovery Facility is a busy site which must be guided by proper safety regulations which are founded upon environmental, economic and legal concerns. Because of this, the need to consider or craft policies that define legal, economic and environmental concerns of a plant as large as the Bolton Thermal Recovery Facility is paramount.
As a consultant, it is therefore necessary to divulge details on legal liabilities that may arise from the environmental impacts of operating Bolton Thermal Recovery Facility and the necessary measures that need to be taken to ensure compliance with relevant consents.
The Policy, Environmental and Economic Drivers for the Development and Operation of the Facility
The economic drivers for the development and operation of Bolton Thermal Recovery Facility are far reaching and should thus be seriously taken into consideration. For one, BTRF is run by Europe's largest public waste contract which is the Greater Manchester deal, which in turn costs 3.8 pounds. BTRF also deals with an array of numerous materials and energy recovery facilities, as previously mentioned. The fact that BTRF also has to combine RDF production processes and MBT-AD technological processes further stresses the magnitude of BTRF's economic significance.
Bedeyore (2010) points out that it is also important to consider the fact that the economic significance of BTRF dares back to 2009 when it was signed as a landmark agreement, to bring about an international waste management industry. The bid to help divert 75% of wastes from landfills in the Greater Manchester Waste Disposal Authority (GMWDA) led to the signing of Recycling and waste Management Contract with Viridor Laing Greater Manchester Limited. Following this, this contract houses over 30 facilities such as Material Recovery Facilities (MRF), transfer stations, Anaerobic Digestion (AD) plants, composting facilities and thermal recovery Waste to Energy (WTE) facilities. All these facilities have been refurbished or built afresh. That BTFR is underpinned by major economic drivers is a factor that is underscored by there being at least 12 facilities that are still under construction.
The above developments not only emphasise the need to greatly protect BTRF operations to avoid any industrial mishaps. The need for BTRF to align all of its operations with its original plans and targets is also important to recognise, which was to create an integrated collection and disposal system, where as much waste as possible can be transported, managed and treated as high up the waste hierarchy as possible (Ricardo, 2005).
Another component of economic drivers that underpin the operations of BTRF is the use of technological advancement. To avoid cases of economic losses that would
The Magnitude and Significance of Potential Environmental Impacts Associated with Site Operations
Levin and Trevor (2012) observe that the magnitude and significance of potential environment impacts which are associated with the operations of Bolton Thermal Recovery Facility (BTRF) are far reaching. For one, BTRF runs a commingled recycling collection wherein residents are needed to separate and gather cans, plastic bottles, green wastes, food waste, papers and cards for processing at BTRF's MRF facilities. It is therefore important that Viridor Laing Greater Manchester Limited ensures that there are safety and standards procedures put in place to ward off the possibilities of accidents that may not only hinder the functions of BTRF, but expose it to the loss of its massive economic interests also.
According to Justin (2009), this may mean that Viridor Laing Greater Manchester Limited may have to educate the masses (or residents) on how to best handle waste deposits without injuring either themselves, or the environment. The same is also to be emphasised to the residents on the need to competently handle waste disposals to save Viridor Laing Greater Manchester Limited from consuming too much time in sorting wastes and from incurring financial or economic drawbacks that may ensue from cases where inchoately sorted out wastes end up in BTRF's facilities, and thereby paving way for the destruction of BTRF's facilities or machinery.
Current Statutory Controls that Govern Site Operations Including a Review of the Powers Available to Regulators or Securing Compliance
It is a fact that there are certain statutory controls which govern site operations at the Thermal Recovery Facility. These statutory regulations exist, courtesy of the fact that there should be legal mechanisms that control the way in which waste management sites operate, as a way of averting the dangers of environmental pollution and degradation. All these regulations are enshrined in Phase I of the Environmental Permitting Programme (EPP), 2005-2008. The EPP in turn is celebrated for having helped create the regulatory system that helps in ensuring the integration of the Waste Management Licensing and Pollution Prevention and Control.
Wolf and Stanley (2010, 66) continue that the same EPP has been instrumental in helping the simplified system regulatory system come into place. EPP which was known as the Environmental Permitting Regulations (of England and Wales) at the time it was introduced in 2007 replaced 41 statutory instruments which existed at the time.
Jewell and Steele (2008, 88) advice that it is important to take the EPP program into strong consideration when considering the running of the Thermal Recovery Facility, given that it has created specific thresholds and provisions for waste incineration and pollution abatement, without ceasing to be a single framework.
Specifically, Wolf and White (2007, 15) posit that under the aegis of the EPP, there is the Waste Incineration Directive (WID). In the first place, WID defines the kind of wastes that may pass through waste management processes such as gasification, combustion and pyrolysis. Herein, waste is given a legal definition as material that which the holder intends to discard, discards, or is required for discarding. However, WID does not make a definitive description of what waste is not, and thereby leaving courts of law to exercise their discretion as the final arbiter.
In respect to the immediately foregoing, Lowe and Ward (2008, 84) observe that there are a number of elements that WID classifies as waste. These include: vegetable waste from forestry or agriculture; vegetable waste from food processing industries; radioactive wastes; cork wastes; animal carcasses which are covered by he Animal By-Products Regulations; wood wastes; and fibrous vegetable wastes; fibrous vegetable wastes (that are usually made from pulp making, as long as this takes place on the site of waste generation, and there is recovery of the heat generated).
In respect to the above, it will behoove Viridor Laing (Greater Manchester) Ltd not to include virgin timber waste, in its list of materials it should be dealt with. This is because the Environmental Agency in its regulatory position statement, announced recently its decision to not regard timber as waste. Because of this, the Environment Agency does not subject virgin timber and its components to waste regulatory controls. The heart of the matter is that only wood treated or used is classified as non-virgin wood. Thus, this form of timber is exempted from being totally de-regulated, though this non-virgin timber may still be still exempted from WID, in the event that they are not treated with heavy metals or halogenated organic compounds (Clark, 2005, 112).
Viridor Laing (Greater Manchester) Ltd may also not include in its operations, experimental plants which are used for research activities, testing, and demonstration. WID also excludes experimental plants that are used for treating less than 50 tonnes of wastes, annually. As if this is not enough, it is important to remember that even these plants which are excluded from the WID's rubric may still be required to obtain the Pollution Prevention and Control (PCC) Permit. The PCC Permit is an Exemption or a Waste Management License (Makuch and Pereirea, 2012, 90).
Macrory, Havercroft and Avosetta Group of European Environmental Lawyers (2004, 55) observe that it is also important to take stock of the fact that there are special circumstances wherein waste derived fuel (WDF) may desist from being waste prior to its use as fuel, if it had been subjected to specific forms of processing. Nevertheless, this does not apply in many cases and is usually left to the courts of law to make their ruling. Timber that has been obtained from demolition or construction sites is also covered by WID, unless there are substantial indications that indicate otherwise.
At the same time, it is necessary to remember that EPP draws out the mechanism, felicity conditions for, and the procedure that is to be used for waste incineration, as is provided for in the Environmental Permitting Guidance the Directive on the Incineration of Waste.
Because of the foregoing, it is clear that WID makes impositions and requirements on the kind of wastes that are permitted a given plant, reception and delivery of the waste, operating conditions, thermal conversion equipment used, the emissions monitoring requirements, abatement plants and emission limit values to water and air (Holder and Lee, 2007, 102 & Wilkinson, 2002, 90).
Wood, Chynoweth and Adshead (2010, 75) divulge that the UK and the European Union (EU) also has the Landfill Directive which describes the manner in which Viridor Laing (Greater Manchester) Ltd and other waste disposal companies may manage the disposal and treatment sites such as Bolton Thermal Recovery Facility when dealing with ash or powdery wastes.
In a separate wavelength, there is the Clean Air Acts of 1968 and 1956 which were made against the backdrop of smogs that took place in the 1950s and 1960s.
Again, Michaels (2008, 28) explains that the Clean Air Act gave local authorities the frameworks and power with which they could define smoke control areas. These Acts were then included in the Clean Air Act, 1993. The Clean Air Act, 1993 regulates activities that are in smoke control areas which include authorised fuels and specific manufactured smokeless fuels. Authorized fuels may include electricity anthracite and gas. The Clean Air Act may be applicable in the manner Bolton Thermal Recovery Facility may run its operations and discharge its gaseous wastes into the atmosphere. This is because, the Clean Air Act stipulates that pallets and wood may only be incinerated in an exempt appliance which has been particularly tested and approved by the agents working under and mandated by the Clean Air Act, for instance.
In a separate wavelength, pollution prevention and control regulations (Wales and England) are also likely to extensively affect the operations of Bolton Thermal Recovery Facility (BTRF), or the manner in which Viridor Laing (Greater Manchester) Ltd will manage it. The Pollution Prevention and Control Regulations (PPCR) in Wales and England are meant for regulating the emission of pollution into water air and on land. The same refers to pollution which takes the form of heat, noise and odour.
Just as Bassett (2007, 16) divulges, this regulation also seeks to cover the prevention of accidents. Because of the PPCR, it will behoove BTRF to: adhere to all the provisions stipulated by the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) which cover Part A (1) installations, as is regulated by the Environmental Agency; conform to all the stipulations of the Local authority Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (LA-IPPC), which covers Part A (2) installations, as is demanded by local authorities; and Local Authority Prevention and Control (LAPPC) which covers Part B installations, as is also demanded for by local authorities. The key thing is that Viridor Laing Ltd. must be properly installed, as a way of conforming to the PPCR regulations of England and Wales.
That conformance to PPCR's stipulations is an inescapable affair is underscored by the procedure which is used in issuing licenses. Particularly, this is because, operations within these regulations and frameworks are allowed through the issuance of permits which set operating conditions, based on the application of Best Available Techniques (BAT). Herein, classification as Part A (1), A (2), and Part B are premised upon production capability and the actual activities that have been carried out (Humphrey, 2009, 12 & Nicholas, 2010, 19).
To be more specific, activities which fall within Part A (1) includes burning of: fuels in an appliance which has a thermal input of 50 MW or more; waste oil; recovered oil; or any other fuel that comprises waste, in an appliance with rated thermal input that exceeds 3 MW. This also includes pyrolysis of carbonaceous materials and gasification materials, with chemically untreated wood being the only exception.
Part B activities includes burning of any fuel in an individual appliance which has a rated thermal input of 20 MW or above, but is not included in Part A (1); and other combustion of waste oil also (Edwards, 2008, 12).
Available Statutory and Non-Statutory Guidance Influencing Regulatory Decision-Making
As already mentioned, there are several statutory laws that influence regulatory decision-making, concerning the operations of Bolton Thermal Recovery Facility (BTRF). Chief among these is the Clean Air Act which aims at reducing pollution from grit, dust and smoke. The Act accords local authorities powers to designated Smoke Control Areas and therefore criminalises emitting of smoke from chimney. The only exception is where the regulation emission of smoke through the chimney involves the use of a chimney, fireplace and fuel which has been approved by local authorities (Martins and Martins, 2010, 100 & Joseph, 2011, 78).
Under the Clean Air Act, local authorities are able to address the concerns specified under the Red Tape Challenge. To ensure the effectiveness of the Act, legislators review the Clean Air Act; and look at ways by which the process of approving fireplaces and fuels for use in Smoke Control Areas can be simplified.
There is also the Noise Policy Statement for England (2010) which determines the location of BTRF. The noise policy statement for England enables local authorities to manage nuisance and noise in the local environment. The elements of great concern include: environmental noise (which controls noise which emanates from transport sources such as aviation, road and rail; and noise and nuisances which may emanate from neighbourhood noise, smoke, odours and artificial light. The provisions stipulated in Noise Policy Statement for England (2010) will therefore hinder BTRF from being situated at least 3 kilometres away from residential areas.
The development above also means that BTRF will have to punctiliously and regularly service its engines, as a way of abating noise pollution and smoke emission.
There are also, legal obligations that are usually and mainly driven by EU legislations. Some of these legislations include the Environmental Permitting Regulations (England and Wales), 2010 which seek to regulate industrial emissions.
Another way in which the Environmental Permitting Regulations (England and Wales) will affect the operations of BTRF is through the injunction that Viridor Laing (Greater Manchester) Ltd provides BTRF's details to, and makes BTRF's pollutant volume conform to the regulations of the UK Pollutant Release and Transfer Register. This is of paramount important since the studying of the UK Pollutant Release and Transfer Register and the execution of policies thereof enables stakeholders to determine the extent and volume of industrial
In another wavelength, it is important to take stock of non-statutory guidance which may influence regulatory decision-making and the operations of BTRF. The natural environment white paper (2011) exemplifies these non-statutory regulations. The natural environment white paper sets out to realise the vision of attaining a clean natural environment over the next fifty years. The same applies for air quality, noise and nuisance. There is also the national planning policy framework (2012) which makes explanations on the social and environmental roles that must come into play, in order to minimise pollution, and strengthen biodiversity.
Alongside the measures above, there is the new public health outcomes framework which was published by the Department of Health in 2012. This framework includes air quality and noise, as the main determinants of public health. This framework will definitely affect operations of BTRF, since noise and air quality are some of the elements which may characterise the running and operations of waste disposal and recycling plants such as BTRF.
Future Statutory Controls That May Influence Regulation of Site Activities
As the UK continues to become part and parcel of the European Union (EU), there is bound to be more statutory controls in future, to control the operations of BTRF and similar companies whose operations may affect the extent or degree of environmental safety. Some of these statutory regulations are likely to touch on chemical safety.
According to the minister in charge of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Rt. Hon. MP, Peterson Owen, this is because the EU is committed to ensure that chemicals being used for industrial purposes harm neither human health, nor the environment, while industries continue to actualise the benefits they seek to realise. Likewise, EU expects the UK and its member states to fully comply with its statutory regulations.
Against the backdrop of the immediately foregoing, it is most likely that there will be statutory regulations which will seek to ensure total compliance with EU, domestic laws, international laws and agreements that regulate the use, procurement, disposal and composition of chemicals.
Tinsley (2001, 41) observes that there may also be statutory regulations being made in future, not only in the UK, but also throughout the EU, as a way of maintaining and strengthening risk reduction strategies, and to assist in managing risks that specific chemicals may bring.
Chances are also high that there are laws and future statutory controls that are likely to be formed to help strengthening the culture and practices of reviews, updates and the maintaining of emergency plans for recovery, during an outbreak of chemical, biological, nuclear or radiological accident. These statutory regulations are likely to be made through close consultations and under the aegis of the Government Decontamination Service. This is because the Government Decontamination Service is the agency that is concerned with aversion and control of crises that stem from chemical, biological, nuclear and radiological accidents, just as Coyle and Morrow (2004, 11) observe.
Alongside the developments above, there are bound to be statutory regulations that address and place legal and logistical modalities on pesticides, endocrine disruptors, persistent organic pollutants and lead.
There is also bound to be the formation of advisory and regulatory bodies and the strengthening of already existing bodies such as the Hazardous Substances Advisory Committee (HSAC) and the UK Chemicals Stakeholder Forum, to inform environmental security policy and to ensure conformance to these policies.
Provisions for Environmental Reporting Associated with site Operations
There are provisions for environmental reporting associated with site operations, as has already been stated.
For instance, it may be necessary to have all waste disposal and manufacturing plants such as BTRF fill and comply with the noise policy statement for England (2010). Alongside this, the government ensures that all the statements reflected in the policy statement are enforced in all the departments.
Viridor Laing (Greater Manchester) Ltd. must also ensure that it adheres to, and presents its report to the UK Pollutant Release and Transfer Register. This submission will be needed to show the level or extent of emission that BTRF gives out, so that improvements can be noted and areas of weaknesses corrected.

Q: rewrite rule for case sensitive directory I'm looking into setting up a re-write to ignore the case of the directory name of the URL.
For example, I have
example.com/TestDirectory

I want to ignore the case so the URL will still direct to
example.com/testdirectory

Here is what I have, but it doesn't seem to be working:
# rewrite rules for example.com/TestDirectory
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^example\.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^www\.example\.com\TestDirectory [NC]
RewriteRule $ http://www.example.ccom/testdirectory/

Am I missing a step?

A: In order to implement a canonical redirect to the correctly cased directory (in this case, all lowercase) you could do something like the following:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/testdirectory
RewriteRule ^testdirectory /testdirectory/ [NC,R,L]

The NC (nocase) flag on the RewriteRule ensures that it would match TestDirectory or TESTDIRECTORY etc. and the RewriteCond directive prevents a redirect loop by checking that we are not already at testdirectory via a case-sensitive match.
However, this only redirects to the directory. Any file after the directory name is lost. In order to redirect /TestDirectory/<whatever> to /testdirectory/<whatever> then try something like the following instead:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/testdirectory
RewriteRule ^testdirectory/?(.*) /testdirectory/$1 [NC,R,L]

Note that this is a temporary (302) redirect. Change the R flag to R=301 if this is intended to be permanent, but only after you have checked that it is working OK.

RewriteCond %{http_host} ^www\.example\.com\TestDirectory [NC]

Note that the HTTP_HOST server variable contains just the requested hostname. There is no URL-path information. If you need to check the host as well (if you have multiple domains) then include an additional condition:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com [NC]

(This assumes the domain has already been canonicalised to include the www subdomain.)
