The Super Bowl is this Sunday, so it's quite fitting that in today's episode of CannaBiz Now! I talk to the CEO of a company that has 18 football fields' worth of growing space.
Emerald Health Therapeutics' (OTC: EMHTF) joint venture Pure Sunfarms is a monstrous 1.1 million square feet. And in this case, bigger is better.
Emerald Health is one of the most diverse Canadian producers. It has its hands in a wide variety of businesses and is on a path to becoming a household name.
In our interview, CEO Dr. Avtar Dhillon shared Emerald Health's mandate of global expansion, as well as the number of acquisitions the company has recently made to boost its international and domestic presence.
We also discussed the upcoming legal edibles market in Canada and Emerald Health's plan there. Additionally, its high-margin nutraceutical products are already making their way onto the shelves of major retailers.
The nutraceuticals market is poised to be worth more than $578 billion by 2025. Add that to the more than $200 billion that cannabis is expected to be worth over the next decade… and Emerald Health is sitting on a nearly $1 trillion opportunity.
Marijuana stocks kicked off the year with a bang, but you'll learn from Dr. Dhillon that there's plenty more for investors to be excited about in the months ahead.

Paulino, Mariana and Yoon, Jeong Whan 2015, Study on yield function and plastic potential under non-associated flow for accurate earing prediction in cup drawing, Steel research international, vol. 86, no. 8, pp. 852-860, doi: 10.1002/srin.201400566.
Prediction of more than four ears in a cup drawing process can be successfully achieved by considering r-value and stress directionalities. Yld2004-18p based on associated flow rule and Yld2000-2D based on non-associated flow rule are the examples. The former, however, is more costly in terms of computational efficiency than the latter. In this work, an anisotropic constitutive model based on non-associated flow rule which combines two different functions, Hill (1948) and Yld2000-2d, is implemented to a user defined material model. The accuracy of the anisotropic directionalities (yield stresses and plastic strain ratios) is evaluated. Simulation of a mini-die cup drawing with a body stock alloy predicted eight ears, in good agreement with the experimental results. The use of Hill (1948) model for the yield function and Yld2000-2d for plastic potential under the framework of non-associated flow rule led to accurate prediction of up to eight ears at the lower computational cost.

On Nov. 9, both actors will be attendance to lead an open discussion about Native American stereotypes portrayed in Hollywood films following the viewing of the film, "Reel Injun," a documentary that studies the roles of Native Americans throughout film history.
"When the library puts together a celebration such as this, we look at what our resources are, who is in our communities, ideas and activities that the entire community would enjoy and learn from. We look at discussions, speakers and entertainers, artists, and films," Pellington said.
Since it was already on top of the "to-do list" for the library staff to plan bigger for this year's scheduled line-up, it took a tremendous amount of teamwork, said Marcos Chavez, library assistant, who has been a part of helping out with coordinating the library's events. This will be the second year that he will partake in the library's Native American festivities.
This is will be the sixth year that the library will be hosting different events for Native American Heritage Month, and an estimated 800-1000 people will be in attendance to see the festivities throughout the month of November.
"The library programs are always very well attended and different programs attract different people. The library looks forward in sharing our Native American Heritage Month celebration with our community," Pellington said.
Navajo artist Jerry Brown will have his work on exhibit throughout the library during the month of November. His cultural and abstract works of art are a balance between stylistic strategies and cultural expression. Brown's artwork will be visible from Nov. 1 – 30. On Nov.14, there will be a special reception during November's Artscrawl from 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm.
On Nov. 7 at 2 pm, the library will host Jean Whitehorse as she discusses the 1969 Occupation of Alcatraz by the IOAT (Indians of all Tribes). Eighty-nine Native Americans, including students, married couples and six children, occupied Alcatraz Island on November 20, 1969, claiming the property as part of the Treaty of Fort Laramie (1868). The 19-month occupation saw as many as 400 people on the island. Whitehorse was one of those occupants and she will talk about her experience during the IOAT takeover.
Whitehorse is from Smith Lake and she is the daughter of Edmund J. Henry Sr., who was a Navajo Code Talker. She served 10 years with the Navajo Code Talker Association and is currently working for the State Library with the Tribal Libraries Program.
On Nov. 9 at 5:30 pm, there will be an open discussion about Native American stereotypes in film with local actors Loren Anthony and Goldie Tom. The program will begin with a viewing of the documentary "Reel Injun" by Cree film maker Neil Diamond. This film takes an entertaining and insightful look at the "Hollywood Indian," exploring the portrayal of North American Natives through the history of cinema. It includes interviews with Clint Eastwood, Adam Beach, John Trudell, Chris Eyre, and many more. Following the viewing, Anthony and Tom will discuss first hand experiences, including the recent walk-off from the Adam Sandler film. Refreshments will be provided.
On Nov. 10 at 6 pm, the Library will host Derrick Suwaima Davis, seven-time international hoop dancing champion. Davis is from the Hopi and Choctaw nations and will be performing at the library. After having performed internationally for years, he has turned his attention to presenting the people and cultures of the Southwestern U.S. via The Living Traditions Dance Troupe.
On Nov.12 at 6 pm, doctor and artist Chip Thomas will be at the library to discuss health and economic demographics on the Navajo Nation, combining arts activism with his work as a physician. He will also talk about the journey that led to him to create the Painted Desert public art project. Thomas is the founder of the project, a public art project connecting artists with communities through mural opportunities on the Navajo Nation.
On Nov. 16 at 6 pm, Miss Navajo 2015-2016 Alyson Shirley, will talk about her journey to become Miss Navajo and her goals for her people. Her desire as Miss Navajo Nation is to promote the Navajo language and culture, and she will be sharing the importance of preserving her language and traditions.
The library will hosting a variety of Native American Films that will begin at 6 pm and popcorn will be provided.
On Nov. 21 at 2 pm, the Children's Branch will host the Cellicion Zuni Dancers as they perform traditional Zuni Dances. Founded by their late parents in 1983, the Cellicion Zuni Dancers entire dance group consists of 15 family members and is made up of second, third, and fourth generation performers. Under the direction of Fernando Cellicion, the group has become one of the top professional touring native Dance companies in the performing arts.
On Nov.7 and 14 at 2 pm, the library will present "Raven Tales." This award-winning animated series introduces kids and their families to Aboriginal folklore in a humorous and entertaining way. Three episodes will be shown each Saturday. On Nov. 5 at 4 pm, the library will be hosting a Crafty Kids project pertaining to Navajo Weaving.

There is a real industry that is developing in parallel with that of high end manufacturers. Replica Rolex watches are some of the hottest selling items on the replica market. There were many questions regarding how ethical replica watches are and if they are an investment worth considering. Although some people disregard replica Rolex watches as being noting more than cheap imitations of the original model, the largest majority of opinions are favorable to replicas. Most genuine Rolex watches come in 25 jewel, 27 jewel ETA or breitling bentley 31 jewel Valijoux movements. The market of replica watches ?especially the Rolex area ?offers 27 jewel ETA Tectonic and 34 jewel ETA movements.
Why do people wear replica Rolex watches?
Believe it or not, the main argument for purchasing such a watch is that it looks great! You might be tempted to say that people purchase Rolex replicas in order to show off and pretend to breitling superocean be something they are not ?but this is not true. In fact, many who purchase Rolex replicas never really brag about them as being genuine. They simply wear the watch ?if someone compliments them on it they are happy, if not they won go out of their way to bring it into focus. The only problem here appears when people are tricked by some replica manufacturers into believing that they are in fact purchasing the real thing. No only is this unethical it is also against the law. This is why you want to make sure that your replica watch provider is a reputable one, someone you can trust.
The differences between replica Rolex watches.
If all genuine Rolex watches are the same, from a quality point of view, the argument does not stand true for replicas. There are many Rolex replica manufacturers and some of them are simply looking to make a quick profit. In fact, chances are the small, sneaky manufacturers will also try to sell their replicas as genuine, thus tricking the customer into believing they found the real thing at a bargain price. A good replica watch should have a solid 18 karat gold band, and not some other innovations that you might encounter. Triple wrapped gold bands look good too, but higher quality replica Rolexes have a solid band. As you can purchase many replica Rolex watches online, it is wise to take a few minutes and check out a particular store, look at all their models and even compare with a few other replica providers, to make sure you are making the right choice.


Massage therapy can help ease sore muscles and improve blood flow for people who are active as well as for those who do not exercise, a small study finds.
In the study, the researchers asked 36 healthy but inactive young adults to use a leg press machine until their legs became sore. Half of the participants were given a Swedish leg massage after they exercised. All of the participants rated their muscle soreness on a scale from one to 10. A third comparison group did not exercise, but got a massage.
Although both exercise groups were sore right after their workout, the people who got the massage said they had no soreness 90 minutes later. In contrast, those in the group that didn't receive a massage said they were sore 24 hours after they exercised.
Because muscle injury from exercise has been shown to reduce blood flow, researchers say, they also measured the participants' "brachial artery flow mediated dilation" in their arms. This standard measure of general vascular health was taken 90 minutes as well as one, two and three days after exercise.
The people who got a massage after they exercised had improved blood flow at every testing interval and the benefits of the massage didn't dissipate until after 72 hours had passed, researchers found. People who did not receive a massage after exercise had reduced blood flow after 90 minutes and returned to normal levels at 72 hours.
And massage doesn't just help people who exercise, the researchers also found.
The study found that participants' blood flow was changed far away from the sore muscles. Researchers concluded that massage benefits are systemic and not confined to one specific area of the body.
While the study found an association between massage and improved circulation, it did not establish a cause-and-effect relationship.
The study was recently published online ahead of publication in the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.

Lino Brozić (Baredine, 14. travnja 1932. - Pula, 8. studenoga 1978.), hrvatski pjesnik Spada u naraštaj istarskih pjesnika koja se javila i stasala s Istarskim mozaikom. Bilo je to generacija mladića i djevojaka iz istarskih sela koja je u školu krenula poslije završetka rata 1945., a završila srednje i više škole usporedno s Istarskim mozaikom.

Životopis
Rođen u selu na Buzeštini od roditelja zemljoradnika, u obitelji sa šestero djece. U rodnom selu proveo djetinjstvo. U susjednom Saležu pet je godina pohađao talijansku osnovnu školu, do 1943. godine. Poslije rata upisao nižu gimnaziju u Buzetu. Premda sa samo pet razreda osnovne, prvi razred gimnazije završio odličnim uspjehom. U sljedećoj je školskoj godini prešao u pripravni razred u Opatiji, a nakon toga pohađa Učiteljsku školu u Puli, koju je završio 1952. godine. Prve je pjesme počeo pisati kao učenik Učiteljske škole u Puli 1950-ih godina.

Zaposlio se u Narodnoj šestogodišnjoj školi u Saležu. Nakon tri godine je u Vrhu gdje je dvije godine nastavnik i direktor osnovne škole. Slijedi premještaj u Novake kod Podravske Slatine gdje radi iste poslove. U međuvremenu je upisao višu pedagošku školu u Zagrebu gdje je prve dvije godine studirao izvanredno, a zatim redovno. Diplomirao je 1961. godine na hrvatskom jeziku s književnošću i povijesti. Za boravka u Zagrebu se upoznao i sprijateljio s Tonom Peruškom, profesorom zagrebačke Pedagoške akademije. Prijateljstvo, poslovnu, pedagošku i književnu suradnju s Peruškom Brozić je nastavio i po povratku u Istru. Godine 1959. vratio se Brozić u svoj kraj. U Svetvinčentu je bio direktor osnovne škole do 1963. godine. Tad je prešao na politički rad u Pulu.

Sljedeće 1964. objavio je prve pjesme u zagrebačkom "Telegramu" i pulskom "Istarskom mozaiku". Iste godine Brozićev ciklus pjesama nagrađen je drugom nagradom na natječaju "Istarskog mozaika" za poeziju. Iste godine doživio je tešku prometnu nesreću koja mu je teško ugrozila zdravlje, što se osobito pojačalo nakon smrti majke koju je osobito cijenio, a na godinu i očeve smrti. Zbog bolesti je otišao u mirovinu 1971. godine. Umro je u pulskoj bolnici 1978., a pokopan u Saležu.

Za života objavio je svega osamnaest pjesama: u Telegramu i Istarskom mozaiku. Nakon njegove smrti objavljene su mu izabrane pjesme u časopisu Istra, Buzetskom zborniku i Novoj Istri. Ukupan opus čini mu 37 pjesama. Premda mali opus, koji je prekinut u vrijeme Brozićeva procvata, iznimno je važan. Spada među najznačajnije istarske pjesnike šezdesetih i sedamdesetih godina 20. stoljeća. Vodeći je pjesnik u hrvatskom poslijeratnom pjesništvu pobune.

Laser induced forward transfer of silver pastes for printing of fingers in c-si cells.
Chen, Yu and Sanchez Aniorte, Maria Isabel and Morales Furió, Miguel and Lauzurica Santiago, Sara and Molpeceres Álvarez, Carlos Luis (2014). Laser induced forward transfer of silver pastes for printing of fingers in c-si cells.. In: "29th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition", 22 - 26 September 2014, Amsterdam (Holanda). ISBN 3-936338-34-5. pp. 1406-1409.
The main objective of this work is to adapt the Laser Induced Forward Techniques (LIFT), a well- known laser direct writing technique for material transfer, to define metallic contacts (fingers and busbars) onto c-Si cells. The silver paste (with viscosity around 30-50 kcPs) is applied over a glass substrate using a coater. The thickness of the paste can be control changing the deposit parameters. The glass with the silver paste is set at a controlled gap over the c-Si cell. A solid state pulsed laser (532 nm) is focused at the glass/silver interface producing a droplet of silver that it is transferred to the c-Si cell. A scanner is used to print lines. The process parameters (silver paste thickness, gap and laser parameters -spot size, pulse energy and overlapping of pulses) are modified and the morphology of the lines is studied using confocal microscopy. Long lines are printed and the uniformity (in thickness and height) is studied. Some examples of metallization of larger areas (up to 10 cm x 10 cm) are presented.

Google To Reveal How To Jailbreak iOS 11
With each new version of the tech giant Apple's mobile operating system, of course, iOS being released, one quickly tries to find a way to apply jailbreak. But, this time it seems that the tech giant Google has discovered a way to jailbreak the latest generation of iPhones running iOS 11.
The tech giant Google will publish a 'failure' of iOS 11 that opens the door to jailbreak the iPhone
The jailbreak has lost followers year after year. What they were looking for some iOS users were functions that the tech giant Apple did not offer officially and that, however, have been included in recent years.
Another aspect is the customization – as in Android – and another is the installation of unauthorized apps. Be that as it may, the jailbreak is becoming less popular, and it is becoming more and more complicated. However, it will be the tech giant Google who unveils how to jailbreak iOS 11, in a specific way.
The Mountain View company, of course, I am talking about the tech giant Google has its Project Zero team dedicated to computer security. It is a team maintained by the tech giant Google that looks for software vulnerabilities not only in company products but also in those of other companies.
In fact, are those who have found a significant amount of security flaws in Windows 10, for example, and those who have indicated to the tech giant Apple that some iOS 11 problems that have already been resolved with the release of iOS 11.2. But these problems, and among them, the one that will allow jailbreaking, remain in iOS 11.1.2 and previous versions that users continue to use on their iPhones.
With iOS 11.2, the Cupertino firm, of course, the tech giant Apple has solved 15 security problems and 5 of them were indicated by this team of computer security experts from the tech giant Google.
But as we said, iOS 11.1.2 is still a valid version for compatible iPhones and iPads, and there is in this version – and in the previous ones – a vulnerability still there that can be exploited to jailbreak.
The tech giant Apple was already notified to solve, as usual, but is about to conclude the deadline offered to companies affected by security problems, and when the tech giant Google will make public the problem.
It is a singular case, because this period of time is offered to the companies affected by a software vulnerability to be able to solve it and that the users are not get affected. However, this problem about the security of the tech giant Apple's mobile operating system, iOS, is what opens the doors to jailbreaking.
Therefore, although it has been resolved with iOS 11.2, it is possible that users are interested in staying on iOS 11.1.2 and earlier versions of the operating system. However, it does not have to be valid – the exploit – for all the latest generation iPhones.
So, what do you think about this? Simply share all your views and thoughts in the comment section below.

Have you had canvases that haven't printed to the size you expected?
Since Canvas is generally thicker than the media type being selected in the print driver, the actual image can print smaller than its Photoshop dimensions. This really shows up when you are trying to get an exact image edge on a canvas to put it onto a pre-cut stretcher frame.
Whilst its not an exact science €"there can be other variables like brand of canvas, humidity, media selection, etc. €"this solution will help.

I was invited as media to LA to attend a press event for The Little Mermaid. Accommodations were provided for the event. No additional compensation was received. All opinions are my own.
One of the most amazing parts of my LA trip last month was the sit down interview with Jodi Benson (voice of Ariel) plus writer & director John Musker and Ron Clements. It really was a once in a lifetime opportunity. I was so honored to be among such amazing talent, and have them take time out of their day to speak with us bloggers.
Disclosure: We were invited as media for an overnight stay at Nickelodeon Suites Resort to provide an honest review of the property. No additional compensation was received. All opinions are my own, and may differ from yours.
We had such an amazing time at the Sponge Bob Character Breakfast last month that we had to book an overnight stay and enjoy all of the amenities Nickelodeon Suites Resort has to offer.
We surprised the boys with a 2-bedroom Nickelodeon KidSuites, which offered a semi-private kids bedroom with bunkbeds and their own television. You can even upgrade to a themed bedroom with fun Nickelodeon characters like Dora, Sponge Bob, Fairly Odd Parents, Rugrats, or Jimmy Neutron. We decided on a boy themed room and chose the Jimmy Neutron KidSuites.
If you have followed my Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram feed these last few days you have seen a glimpse of this amazing and magical trip I have encountered with Disney Studios. I am SO excited to share my very first experience up close and personal with celebs like Teri Hatcher (below with daughter Emerson), Dane Cook, Bella Thorne, Hilary Duff, Peter Facinelli, Jason Priestley, and more!
Disclosure: I have been invited at media to attend these events. Expenses have been paid in exchange for my coverage. All opinions are my own.
Whether you are booking your summer travel plans months, or days in advance, there is always a great deal to be found. Every year our family takes a summer vacation together. Typically, we choose a location where we can visit family. Last year, we visited Washington State and California. It was our family's first trip to California, and of course we had to stop in and see Mickey for a day!
Although we were visiting family during last summer's trip, we still enjoyed the luxuries of staying in a hotel as well. It's always nice to partake in the hotel amenities like room service, fitness center, pool, continental breakfast, and spa. Our favorite hotel we stayed in was Hotel Murano in Tacoma. It is a glass art museum and hotel all-in-one. It's definitely a place you should put on your radar. We highly recommend booking a stay there.
As a born and raised east-coaster, I've never had the pleasure of visiting FatBurger until a few weeks ago. Their recently expanded Vegas location has a huge FatBurger Bar with jammin' music and large flat screen tv's that draw you in from the street. The original restaurant is still located just behind the bar if you so choose to sit indoors.
It's hard to come by someone who does not know the name Michael Jackson. As a child who was born in the 80's, I grew up listening to his record-breaking music. I followed the King of Pop's epic career and marveled at the master entertainer. While I never had an opportunity to see MJ perform in person, I was lucky enough to catch an amazing tribute show to Michael while in Vegas.
If you're going to Vegas to experience the strip, then I suggest staying at one of the many hotels available on there, or within a few miles of it. Our hotel was located on Las Vegas blvd just 2 miles from the strip and offered complimentary shuttle service every half hour. This saved us quite a bit of money, however the traffic on the strip is always bumper to bumper.
One way we found to be extremely easy to get around was using the Las Vegas Monorail. The strip is a long walk and after spending one day back and forth on it, or just one night in heels, your feet and legs ache. The cabs are very pricey and the ticker keeps running even in bumper to bumper traffic. Just a 2 mile trip is $20 one way. Renting a car isn't the best idea, unless you plan to visit the Grand Canyon or other attractions off the strip because I'm telling you-the traffic is bad.

Most people know how to select multiple ranges in Excel using the Ctrl key and the mouse, but there are other methods that can be more efficient. The obscure technique Add to Selection lets you select many ranges without ever using the mouse. And Go To Special lets you quickly find and select all the cells of a specified type.
Let's say that you want to apply a Color Scale to the data cells in Figure 1. This means you need to select cells B4:D8, G5:I8, and D11:F13. Start by selecting cell B4. To select the first block of data, hold down Ctrl+Shift and press the down arrow (↓) and then the right arrow (→). This common keyboard trick selects all the way down to the bottom and the right edge of the data.
After selecting the first cell range, most people would switch to using the mouse. But it's faster if you can keep your hands on the keyboard. Press Shift+F8. You'll see the words "Add to Selection" in the status bar at the bottom of the Excel screen.
Move the cell pointer to the next section of data: Ctrl+↓, Ctrl+→, Ctrl+↓, and then ↓. The original range, cells B4:D8, stays selected while you move the cell pointer outside of the range.
To select the second range, hold down Ctrl+Shift and press ↓ then →. You've now selected B4:D8 and D11:F13 (see Figure 2). But now the "Add to Selection" is gone from the status bar. Press Shift+F8 to return to Add to Selection mode.
Move the cell pointer to cell G5. Hold down Ctrl+Shift and press ↓ then → to select the third block of cells (see Figure 3).
Many people haven't seen Add to Selection. Instead, they have encountered the annoying Extend Selection mode. This usually happens when you try to press F9 to recalculate but accidently press F8 instead. In Extend Selection mode, any click of the mouse will select from the active cell to the newly clicked cell, obliterating any previous selection. While I've never found a good reason to use Extend Selection, there clearly are times when using Shift+F8 for Add to Selection will save time.
Before using Add to Selection, you should consider if there's a way to solve the problem using Go To Special. In Figure 1, the fact that the Weeks are stored as numbers (for example, cells A4:A8) preclude any useful way to utilize Go To Special.
Press Ctrl+A to select all the cells. The Go To Special dialog always takes a larger selection and makes the selection smaller.
On the Home tab, click on Find & Select, Go To Special.
In the Go To Special dialog, choose Constants. This will make the four checkboxes for Numbers, Text, Logicals, and Errors become active.
Uncheck Text, Logicals, and Errors, leaving only Numbers checked (see Figure 5).
The result is the same as using Shift+F8, but it takes less time. As an added benefit, Go To Special will exclude any formula cells that might exist in total columns or total rows. This is important when you are using any of the data visualization tools on the Conditional Formatting dropdown.
Here's a little-known trick using Go To Special. Say that you have two columns of numbers that should be identical. You can identify the cells that have differences using Go To Special.
First select the column where you want to find the differences. Then add the original column to the selection. On the Home tab, select Find & Select, Go To Special, Row Differences (see Figure 6). When you click OK, only the items in the new column that are different from the original column will be selected. Apply a red font, and you can quickly mark all the cells that have changed (see Figure 7).
Add to Selection and Go To Special are both very obscure and difficult to discover randomly. In the right situations, however, they can each save a lot of time.

Hi Mike. You'll notice that putting excel on our webiste enables us to include more content. The print version of this article has 2 figures, but this online version is contains 7 figures total. We are working to eliminate the information in the right-hand sidebar from the print function.
Wow, so this new format is progress, huh? I dislike it very much. Each month I print and save the excel column – used to be 1 sheet of paper duplexed, now it's 3, with all the extraneous social media stuff.

Q: Why $\det(\mathbf{F}J^{-1/3}) = \det(\mathbf{F})J^{-1}$?
$J$ is the jacobian, and $F$ is the deformation gradient.
As illustrated in the picture above, I don't understand why is the $\det(J^{-1/3}) = \det(J^{-1})$ ?

A: The determinant of any matrix $\mathbf{F}$ multiplied by a scalar $A$ is the determinant of $\mathbf{F}$ times $A^d$, where $d$ is the dimension of the matrix. Here you are concerned with $3 \times 3$ matrices and therefore $d = 3$. In your case $A = J^{-1/3}$, hence $A^3 = J^{-1}$.

Q: how many triggers can a single instance of SchedulerFactory have? My application may fire around 1000's or more triggers everyday. Each of these is categorized into 4 categories:

*

*morning(9am)

*afternoon(1pm)

*evening(6pm)

*night(10pm)

And at each of these times, there will be 100's of trigger fired. Below is code
SchedulerFactory schdFact = new StdSchedulerFactory();
Scheduler schd;
for(ecah morningSchedulers){
  // some logic for instantiating trigger
  AbstractTrigger trigger = (AbstractTrigger) newTrigger().withSchedule(cronSchedule("0     0"+mAlert+"0,0,0 * * ?")).build();
  trigger.setStartTime(strtDat);
  trigger.setEndTime(endDat);
  final JobDetail job = newJob(AlertJob.class).build();
  schd.scheduleJob(job, trigger);
}

I have 2 questions here

*

*Should I instantiate scheduler inside for loop or outside and schedule many triggers to the same scheduler. i.e. schd = schdFact.getScheduler(); where should I write this line?(inside or outside for loop)

*I have to reschedule some of these triggers. i.e. stop on some condition and start again.

A:
how many triggers can a single instance of SchedulerFactory have?

There is a similar question in the official FAQ:

How many jobs is Quartz capable of running?
This is a tough question to answer... the answer is basically "it depends". [...] So, the limiting factor of the number of Triggers and Jobs Quartz can "store" and monitor is really the amount of storage space available to the JobStore (either the amount of RAM or the amount of disk space).

Also remember about this:

[...] The actual number of jobs that can be running at any moment in time is limited by the size of the thread pool. If there are five threads in the pool, no more than five jobs can run at a time.

If you have thousands of triggers (you aren't confusing triggers and trigger executions?), consider JDBC storage. But if you have only few triggers but running several times a day, RAM store is enough.

Should I instantiate scheduler inside for loop or outside and schedule many triggers to the same scheduler

Definitely have only a single scheduler for the whole application. It is rare to have more than one scheduler in an application, see: Utilizing Multiple (Non-Clustered) Scheduler Instances.
Create the scheduler once and treat as a singleton.

I have to reschedule some of these triggers. i.e. stop on some condition and start again.

This is, again, explained in the documentation: Updating an existing Trigger. Basically you need to know the trigger key:
// retrieve the trigger
Trigger oldTrigger = sched.getTrigger(triggerKey("oldTrigger", "group1");

// obtain a builder that would produce the trigger
TriggerBuilder tb = oldTrigger.getTriggerBuilder();

// update the schedule associated with the builder, and build the new trigger
// (other builder methods could be called, to change the trigger in any desired way)
Trigger newTrigger = tb.withSchedule(simpleSchedule()
    .withIntervalInSeconds(10)
    .withRepeatCount(10)
    .build();

sched.rescheduleJob(oldTrigger.getKey(), newTrigger);

BTW if just want to run a job at a given single hour, there is an easier API. Instead of:
newTrigger().
  withSchedule(
    cronSchedule("0     0"+mAlert+"0,0,0 * * ?")
  ).
  build()

You can simply say:
newTrigger().
  withSchedule(
    dailyAtHourAndMinute(mAlert, 42)
  ).
  build();

Have a look at Lesson 6: CronTrigger of the official tutorial.

Q: jQuery scrollTop several css and animate changes Some new problems occured. I want to change several items by scrolling a specific amount.
I have this code:
$(document).ready(function() {
   $(window).scroll(function () {
    if ($(this).scrollTop() > 160) {
        $('#test').css({
            'position' : 'fixed',
            'top' : '0'
        })
        $('#test2').animate({
            'width' : '105px',
            'margin-left' : '20px'
        })
    } else {
        $('#test').css({
            'position' : 'absolute',
            'top' : '100px'
        })
        $('#test2').animate({
            'width' : '0px',
            'margin-left' : '0px'
        })
    }
    });
});

The #test div perfectly works. It changes to position: fixed when you scroll 160px. And if you scroll back it gets absolute.
But #test2 just changes its width once. When I scroll back, nothing changes.

A: You are missing 4 semicolons:
$(document).ready(function() {
   $(window).scroll(function () {
    if ($(this).scrollTop() > 160) {
        $('#test').css({
            'position' : 'fixed',
            'top' : '0'
        });
        $('#test2').animate({
            'width' : '105px',
            'margin-left' : '20px'
        });
    } else {
        $('#test').css({
            'position' : 'absolute',
            'top' : '100px'
        });
        $('#test2').animate({
            'width' : '0px',
            'margin-left' : '0px'
        });
    }
    });
});


On the southernmost border of the park are the largest and most mature species of walnut, shagbark, hickory and white oak.
Before the leaves on the trees emerge, the ground is carpeted with spring ephemeral wild flowers and daffodils. Look for trout lilies and trillium as well.
The Spring Garden Trail is located on the southwest side of Lake Drummond.

Does anyone know a way to simplify $\mathbb{P}[X\leq np] = \sum_{i=0}^{np}\binom{n}{i}p^i(1-p)^{n-i}$ (i.e. the probability that $X$ is not greater than the mean value)? Any help appreciated!


Unfortunately, cracked and bent rims happen in the normal course of driving your car. And even though they can look minor, cracked rims are a safety hazard to drivers and vehicle passengers.
The most dangerous risk is that tire surrounding the damaged rim could have a complete blowout, rendering the car un-drivable. A tire blowout at high speeds can lead to partial or total loss of control of your car, and you could crash. Even if this doesn't happen, a cracked rim compromises the integrity of your vehicle. It can correlate to issues with uneven tire wear, alignment issues, difficulty steering, or damage to suspension and should be addressed right away.
Even if you don't see an obvious crack, there are other telltale signs of a damaged rim. You may hear different sounds or noises than normal coming from the direction of a wheel, or feel unusual vibrations in the steering wheel, or notice altered vehicle handling and lower gas mileage.
If you have any suspicion of a cracked rim, you should take your car to a main dealer or rim manufactuer immediately.
IS CRACKED RIM REPAIR POSSIBLE?
Whether or not you can repair your cracked rim depends on if the weld will restore enough stability to the car. An experienced technician can repair short, hairline cracks without issue, but the longer and broader the crack grows, the greater the risk that your repair won't last over time. You should take your car to the original dealer or manufacturer for the best assessment.
However, if your rim is scraped and dented but does not have a crack, then it is a perfect candidate for cost-effective SMART repair.
First, your alloy rim is cleaned and the damaged area is marked off from the rest of the wheel. Then, the rim is sanded to erase the damage and filled and dried with a heater to complete the process. Finally, your technician will paint and polish the wheel until it is like-new.
The only way to know how quick and affordable your SMART repair will be is by speaking with an experienced technician. At Houston wheel repair 713-942-0294we work with customers in this situation all the time. Feel free to contact us and we'll be happy to help!

Literary legend Maya Angelou died today at the age of eighty-six. The poet Percy Shelley believed that poets could briefly glimpse perfect truth and then were obligated to capture it with imperfect language before the memory of that truth faded. The memory, he said, like holding an ember as it cooled to nothing. Maya is one ember that will keep on burning. Mercer University Press will miss her.

Sleazebag Loses
Posted byCindi April 18, 2021 Posted inPeople, PoliticsTags:In The News
I'm so glad to see that Eyeman finally is being forced to pay for his grifting.
He lived off the donations from supporters, money that was supposed to be used for political campaigns, like one of his first; demanding that car tabs be a flat rate and ignoring that the fees from these tabs go to pay for things like road improvements. And when roads didn't get fixed due to lack of funds, Eyeman's supporters screamed the loudest.
Tim Eyman is a conservative Republican who follows the same path as Donald Trump. So it should be no surprise that both are liars and cheats.
"Tim Eyman ordered to pay $2.9 million to cover Washington attorney general's legal costs
Tim Eyman must pay nearly $2.9 million to cover the legal fees and costs of Attorney General Bob Ferguson's nearly four-year lawsuit against Eyman for campaign finance violations, a Thurston County Superior Court judge ruled Friday.
That sum is on top of the $2.6 million civil penalty that the judge, Judge James Dixon, previously imposed on Eyman for years of campaign finance violations that he called "numerous and particularly egregious" and which Eyman used to enrich himself.
In granting the legal fees, Dixon hands a near-total victory to Ferguson in his long-running case against Eyman, the state's best-known initiative promoter and conservative activist.
Eyman was charged with, and found liable for, laundering political donations to enrich himself, accepting kickbacks from a signature-gathering firm, secretly shuttling money between initiative campaigns, and concealing the source of other political contributions.
Now Dixon has granted Ferguson the additional compensation he'd sought, ordering Eyman to pay the attorney general's legal fees.
"Tim Eyman broke the law — repeatedly — and in order to delay his day of reckoning, he willfully dragged out this case with frivolous and cost-inflating litigation tactics," Ferguson said. "This decision ensures that Tim Eyman bears the cost of his years-long obstruction of our case — not the taxpayers."
Before the trial, which concluded earlier this year, Eyman was twice held in contempt for more than two years for refusing to comply with court orders.
Eyman will spend years paying off the fines and fees. He has been on a court-approved payment plan for more than a year. He pays $10,000 to the state on the fifth of each month, a sum that will rise to $13,500 next year and continue for the foreseeable future.
In total, seven lawyers and staff spent 9,899.71 hours on the Eyman case, Ferguson said in court filings. That's the equivalent of about 413 24-hour days, or 13.5 months. They billed at hourly rates ranging from $123 to $408.
The case contains nearly 1,600 docket entries, and the state had to file or respond to more than 160 motions in six different courts. Nearly 100 of those required oral arguments.

Tesla Solar Roof
Tesla Solar Roof review from owner after 3 months shows incredible results
Fred Lambert | Jun 26 2020 - 2:43 pm PT
A family who has had a Tesla Solar Roof for the last 3 months has released a fun video review that shows some impressive results.
The Neumann family from Northern California are early adopters of the Tesla Solar Roof.
We reported when Tesla first started their installation back in January.
Their Tesla Solar Roof with Powerwalls cost $83,000 before incentives.
They calculate that the solar installation saved them over $400 during the first 3 months of operation.
It is pretty impressive to see how it affected their electricity bills over time after the system activation:
In term of the overall experience, it's fairly good news. They only had a single issue with the Powerwalls a few days after the system was turned on and Tesla quickly fixed it.
Therefore, the review is mostly about their experience using the system over the last 3 months. Here's their video:
Here are a few highlights from the report:
Between the solar roof and Powerwall, the household has been virtually operating off-grid most days. The only time they had to significantly pull electricity from the grid was when they had a heatwave and were running their AC a lot (heatwave day vs normal day):
I also found it interesting how she explained that the household changed some habits since they have had the Tesla Solar Roof.
For example, they started doing some of the more energy-intensive tasks during the peak solar hours instead of doing them at night.
They also had a power outage and she said they wouldn't have noticed if it wasn't for the Tesla app notification:
At that point, they decided to conserve some energy since they didn't know how long the outage would last.
Overall, the Neumanns seem to be very happy with their Tesla Solar Roof.
Tesla Solar and energy storage products might be a great solution for your home or business, and you can use our code (frederic5610) for a $250 award for a solar roof or Tesla solar panel installation. However, we suggest getting quotes from more than one installer to make sure you get the best energy solution for your place. UnderstandSolar is a great free service to link you to top-rated solar installers in your region for personalized solar estimates for free. Tesla also offers price matching now, so it's important to shop for the best quotes.

2016 Legislative Session: Week 3 Report - BioFlorida, Inc.
Below is a summary of the priority issues impacting BioFlorida.This update accompanies the detailed BioFlorida Legislative Tracking Reportthat includes more than80 bills impacting the life sciences industry.
With one-third of the legislative session complete, the dual tracks of policy and budgeting are ramping up. This week, legislative committees continued a breakneck pace of hearings on proposed legislation, while the various appropriations subcommittees released initial budget recommendations. The substantive committees are racing to hear legislation because the House and Senate Rules require committee action in order for a bill to proceed to the floor. Without a hearing, a bill dies.
thisweek. Concurrently, Appropriations Subcommittee recommendations will move to each of the respective full Appropriations committees and then to the floor of each chamber. Ultimately, the House and Senate will conference on the budget to develop a single product.
Expect a frantic next few weeks as these dual tracks begin to converge and we move toward the final weeks of session.
SB 1496 by Senator Rob Bradley (R-Fleming Island) and HB 1175 by Rep. Chris Sprowls (R-Palm Harbor) are aimed at increasing transparency about health carecosts. The legislation requires licensedhealth carefacilities and health professionals to provide valid and understandable information to consumers on prices and quality. The legislation relies on a model that identifies 70 common service bundles, and nearly 20 specific conditions with the goal of helping make significant health care decisions. Searches in the database are expected to yield price averages and price ranges that can then be broken into distinct components, such as physician services, tests, procedures, and therapies or rehabilitation. The House and Senate legislation specifically prohibits the development of an All Payer Claims Database (APCD) without legislative approval. On January 28th, SB 1496 passed the Appropriations Subcommittee on Health and Human Services by a vote of 6 to 2. On January 20th, HB 1175 unanimously passed the House Select Committee on Affordable Healthcare Access and has two committee references remaining.
HB 963 by Rep. Shawn Harrison (R-Tampa) called the "Florida Patient Protection Act" requires Medicaid managed care plans, insurers, or HMOs to allow a prescribing provider to request an override of a restriction on the use of a medication imposed through step-therapy or fail-first protocols. The legislation streamlines the step therapy and fails first protocols to ensure that physicians have a clear pathway to navigate a health plan's step therapy protocols. In addition, the legislation prohibits insurers from discriminating against vulnerable populations and lays out clear continuity of care guidelines. No committee hearings have been held on the bill.
SB 1084 by Senator Don Gaetz (R-Destin) creates the "Right Medicine, Right Time Act", which requires Medicaid managed care plans, HMOs, and insurers that restrict medications by a step-therapy or fail-first protocol to have a clear and convenient process to request an override of the protocol. The bill requires these entities to grant an override of the protocol within 24 hours, under certain conditions. The bill also prohibits an HMO from requiring that a health care provider use a clinical decision support system or a laboratory benefits management program in certain circumstances. On February 1st, the bill is scheduled to be heard in the Health Policy Committee.
HB 1353 by Rep. Mia Jones (D-Jacksonville) and SB 1686 by Senator Aaron Bean (R-Fernandina Beach) create the Telehealth Task Force within AHCA and require the task force to submit a report to Governor and Legislature. The bills require the task force to compile and analyze certain data and to conduct comparative analysis of the health insurance coverage available for telehealth services and for in-person treatment. On January 26th, the Health Policy Committee unanimously passed SB 1686 by a vote of 9 to 0. The House companion measure has not been heard.
On January 20th, the House Select Committee on Affordable Healthcare Access also considered and passed its own telehealth proposal, HB 7087. The bill creates s. 456.47, F.S., relating to the use of telehealth to provide health care services, which authorizes Florida licensed health care professionals to use telehealth to deliver health care services within their respective scopes of practice. The bill also authorizes out-of-state health care professionals to use telehealth to deliver health care services to Florida patients if they register with the Department of Health (DOH), meet certain eligibility requirements, and pay a fee. Under the bill, a registered telehealth provider may use telehealth, within the relevant scope of practice to provide health care services to Florida patients, but is prohibited from opening an office in Florida and from providing in-person health care services to patients located in Florida. The bill allows health care providers who are authorized to prescribe a controlled substance to use telehealth to do so except for chronic nonmalignant pain.
HB 307 by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fort Walton Beach) and SB 460 by Senator Rob Bradley (R-Fleming Island) piggybacks on a law passed last session that allows terminally ill patients to gain access to experimental drugs that have not been approved for general use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. That law, called the "Right to Try Act," is limited to patients who have terminal conditions and requires that they get approvals from two physicians. These same conditions would apply and the legislation would not allow patients to receive medical marijuana that can be smoked. Unlike the law passed in 2014, this legislation would not be limited to non-euphoric medical marijuana, but it would be under the same regulatory framework contained in the 2014 law. On January 20th, SB 460 was scheduled to be heard in the Fiscal Policy Committee, but was postponed. There was no movement on the House companion bill this week.
The Senate and House subcommittee chairs published their first round of budget recommendations this week. The two chambers will continue to work independently as they individually craft allocations toward building the $79 billion budget. These budgets will be heard on their respective floors during week 5 (approximately Feb. 10-11), once passed, the two chambers will move to conference. While we are still a long way from having a budget finalized, all indications are that the process is moving along in a timely manner and the budget will be completed on time.
As the budget process moves forward, the tax incentive packages are a top issue for both the House and Senate. Governor Scott has recommended a tax incentive package valued at $1 billion which would include various incentives and credits, including a proposal to reduce the tax on commercial leases, the manufacturing tax credit continuation, the elimination of the corporate income tax, as well as lifting the sales tax for small businesses at the start of holiday shopping. This week, the House released a draft plan to meet the Governor's $1 billion package. Conversely, the Senate has a differing perspective on the tax cut package; President Gardiner stated the chamber will consider a minimum of $250 million in tax cuts. Both chambers will continue to work independently on their respective tax packages. Following the passage of each chambers' budgets, a budget conference will convene, the chambers will negotiate to a final tax incentive package product.
On Wednesday, Chair Matt Gaetz presented his draft tax incentive package to the Finance and Tax Committee. He highlighted the 2015 research and development tax credit historic level of funding and assured that his goal is to keep the research tax as low as possible. He proposes adding $9 million more to this tax incentive to continue to promote Florida as a destination for companies to perform research and commercialize. Chair Gaetz specifically highlighted BioFlorida, to watch copy the following URL and go to1:08:30.
The Senate Finance and Tax Committee unanimously passed SB 98 by Senator Hukill (R-Port Orange) which extends the current manufacturing equipment tax exemption. This bill continues to have bipartisan support and language will likely appear in the tax package. The Revenue Estimating Conference has determined that this tax exemption will reduce General Revenue receipts by $62.8 million. This bill is now headed to its third and final committee hearing. The House has included the manufacturing tax credit in Chair Gaetz's tax cut package proposal. Those draft materials can be viewed starting on page 48.
The Senate Commerce and Tourism committee passed SB 1646, the Economic Development package by Senator Latvala. This bill is the omnibus vehicle for economic development and includes language clarifying "average private sector wage" in several programs including the Research and Development Tax Credit Program, the Qualified Target Industry Tax Refund Program, the Quick Action Closing Fund and the Innovation Incentive Fund. The clarified term is defined to mean "the statewide average wage in the private sector or the average of all private sector wages in the county or standard metropolitan area in which the project is located."
SB 941 by Representative Gonzalez passed the Health Quality Subcommittee; this bill is the Department of Health's 2016 legislative package. The subcommittee adopted an amendment that has technical changes in reporting for the research funds from the James and Esther King Biomedical Research Program, the Ed and Ethel Moore Alzheimer's Disease Research Program, and the Bankhead/Coley Cancer Research Program. These updates were due to an auditor general report. The amendments include carry forward language for the unexpended balance of funds.

Denise Richards' favorite bag for Spring 2012 is the roomy and versatile Patricia Nash "Rodano" Satchel. This former model and current actress is also a busy working mom. Richards has been spotted toting this bag in tan leather while travelling, on-the-go during the week, and out and about with two of her daughters on the weekend.
The Rodano Satchel retails for approximately $268 and is currently available in Tan and my favorite color Red. The double handles have a 14" drop, making it suitable to carry in-hand, as a satchel, or a shoulder bag. Measuring 13-3/4"W x 13"L x 3"D, this satchel is roomy, but not cumbersome. Right in time for Spring, this Patricia Nash handbag will soon be available in Wicker. You can find this bag at high end retailers, such as Macys.com and Dillards.com. Which color is your favorite?
