ABOUT THE CHURCH - SERVANT OF GOD ISAAC THOMAS HECKER
Isaac Thomas Hecker was born in New York City on December 18, 1819, the third son and youngest child of John and Caroline (Freund) Hecker. Ordained a Redemptorist priest in 1849, he founded the Missionary Society of St. Paul the Apostle in New York on July 7, 1858. The society was established to evangelize both believers and non-believers in order to convert North America to the Roman Catholic Church. Father Hecker sought to evangelize Americans using the popular means of his day, primarily preaching, the public lecture circuit and the printing press. He founded the monthly publication, "The Catholic World," in 1865.
Father Hecker's spirituality centered on the action of the Holy Spirit upon the soul and the need to remain attentive to the prompting of the Spirit in the great and small moments of life. Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, Father Hecker labored to establish a dialogue between faith and culture, which he believed would lead to an American Catholicism whose vitality and optimism would transform the world.
In the latter years of his life, Father Hecker suffered suffered with dark nights of the soul that varied in intensity; this was combined with the physical problems of a weak heart and leukemia. While emotionally and physically overcome at moments, Father Hecker remained faithful through his sure belief in the Holy Spirit.
"God is now visiting me with the profoundest desolation of spirit. Yet I never knew that God would permit me to come so near to Him and love Him as I have," Father Hecker wrote.
On December 22, 1888, as the Paulist community gathered around his bed in prayer, Father Hecker raised his hand, making the Sign of the Cross in blessing, and died.

ON THE SAINTHOOD CAUSE OF ISAAC THOMAS HECKER
Father Hecker on the Spiritual Life:
The following are unpublished thoughts of Servant of God Isaac Hecker. This text is drawn from Hecker's personal papers under the title, Notes on the Spiritual Life. It was written in July 1860, just before the election of Abraham Lincoln and the coming of the Civil War. These reflections are drawn from his personal notes and contain a great deal of practical advice on developing the spiritual dimension of your life.
Living with our Imperfections
For beginners in the spiritual life the greatest obstacle can be a false standard of perfection. It raises a standard of perfection that is beyond our power to reach and causes us to give up and fail. We do not accomplish what is possible. Others suppose that the standard of Christian perfection is something that it is not.. For example, to suppose that it is possible for a person to avoid all kinds of venial sins. When they have resolved to strive after this perfection and find that they cannot do this, they become discouraged and give up, and possibly fall into mortal sin.
No one can avoid venial sin during one's lifetime. It is contrary to the Catholic faith to believe that anyone can. Many venial sins we can avoid and our striving will not be in vain. But venial sins that are not deliberate and spring mostly from our natural defects or from lack of attention, these are imperfections which no human being can ever completely avoid; except the Blessed Mother of Our Lord. She was enabled to do so through a special favor of God. To some, the idea of being a Christian is to be without any fault and without any imperfections. As Saint Francis de Sales says, what we need to rid ourselves of - is egoism, self love and at the hour of our death we shall be gla
Response by Rev. Paul Robichaud CSP
To beginners who seek to develop a spiritual life Servant of God Father Isaac Hecker warns us to go easy on ourselves. Learning to love God and place God first in our lives is the work we seek to do.. Father Hecker is concerned that we have don't develop a false sense of Christian perfection. He uses the example of venial sin. The Church defines sin in two cagegories, mortal and venial. Most practicing Christians oftentimes commit venial sin and to work at ridding ourselves of this is a good thing. Where Hecker cautions us is to be aware that venial sin is often not deliberate but happens because of bad habits or lack of attention. These can be difficult to overcome. In attempting to lead a better life, start with what is not difficult to change. If we attempt too much we may become discouraged and rather than commit less sin, we end up committing more.
Paulist Father Paul Robichaud CSP is Historian of the Paulist Fathers and Postulator of the Cause of Father Hecker. His office is located at the Hecker Center in Washington D.C.
If you have asked Father Hecker to pray for you or another person who is ill and you believe something miraculous has happened, please phone Fr. Paul at 202-269-2519 and tell him your story.

June 15: Summit Explosion Captured on Livestream
USGS: "Photograph taken during helicopter overflight captures fissure 8 lava fountain." This one's wonderfully moody with subtle textures close up. (Full-sized)
Lava fountains rise and fall, but the river they feed remains the same: a vigorously-flowing channel down to a wide ocean entry, with occasional small overflows slopping over the levees (banks). Last night, Fissure 8's fountains were reaching 200 feet; today they dropped again to 100-130 feet with bursts up to 180. Its cinder cone, built of spatter and tephra falling around the fountains, is now 170 feet tall.
When is somebody going to name this pu'u?
USGS: "Lava fountains from Fissure 8 reach heights of 200 ft overnight. The cinder and spatter cone that is building around the fissure is now about 165 ft at its highest point. At times, fissure activity is hidden behind the cinder and spatter cone, as shown in this image." (Full-sized)
Frequency of earthquakes ramped up Thursday night, with more M3s than before. Today's M5.3 summit explosion was late, finally popping at 11:56am, sending up an ash-poor (?) cloud 10,000 feet. HVO: "It didn't produce a distinct plume, which is why we say 'ash and gases' instead." This cycle of daily explosive events has been going on since May 26 or 29, depending on how rigidly one defines the pattern.

Radar Images, May 5-June 18
Thanks to the Italian Space Agency for taking a radar satellite image of Kilauea about once a week:
USGS: "May 5 and June 18 at about 6:00 a.m.[…]The last five images in the sequence, from May 29-June 18, show the development of several cracks outside Halema'uma'u (also seen in recent UAS footage of the crater) and inward slumping of a large portion of the western, southwestern, and northern crater rim. Much of this motion appears to be coincident with the small explosions from the summit that have taken place on a near daily basis over the past 3 weeks." (Full-sized)

June 1: Changes to Halema'uma'u Crater
A relatively clear day, May 31, finally allowed the USGS to get good, detailed drone footage of changes at the summit.
https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/observatories/hvo/multimedia_uploads/multimediaFile-2154.mp4
To orient you on the crater-within-a-crater-within-a-crater (Park Map):
Kilauea Caldera is the megacrater, 2×3 miles across, on whose cliff walls are perched the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, Kilauea Visitor Center and Volcano House.
Halema'uma'u is a crater on the floor of Kilauea Caldera, about 2500 x 2900 feet. It held a lava lake in the 1800s, but drained and exploded in 1924, after which it was quiet for most of the 20th century.
The Overlook Vent was a crater on the floor of Halema'uma'u containing a lava lake from 2008 until May 2018. It drained and has been exploding with steam and ash since the beginning of May. Rockfalls from its sides have enlarged it:

May 5-29, USGS animation using radar data from Italian Space Agency's Cosmo-SkyMed satellite:
May 23-31, new radar imagery shows more recent changes. The USGS caption notes that not only has the overlook vent widened, but also Halema'uma'u Crater:

Below, a compilation of video footage of Halema'umau and its lava lake in August 2016. Go to timestamp 2:10 for a good view of Halema'uma'u Crater with the Overlook Vent's lava lake inside. Compare that with the May 31 video above. The black area is lava that overflowed onto the floor of Halema'uma'u when the lake's level was high.

Note: the "Overlook Vent" was named after the old Halema'uma'u Overlook, because that's the side where the lava lake vent opened in 2008. There used to be a parking lot and viewing area on Halema'uma'u's crater rim where visitors could look down into it. In 2008, the Overlook area was closed to visitors, because whenever there was a rockfall into the lake it tended to do THIS:

May 31: 6PM Eruption Update – Conference Call
Normally I tuck the USGS media conference call into my digest for the day, but my notes are so long I decided to put this in its own post.
Summary: Eruption is continuing with no signs of stopping. Wendy Stovall gives all kinds of geeky tidbits about temperatures, heights, where the magma is coming from, plumbing system of Kilauea. She emphasizes that Kilauea receives a "continuous supply of magma from the deep mantle" thanks to its mantle plume. Scientists are starting to discuss calling this a new eruption, but their focus right now is on collecting data and getting info to Civil Defense.
Full notes (sorry they're a little rough, but you've got the gist) below cut:

BigIslandVideoNews just put up an edited video of Saturday's USGS press conference. My hero Don Swanson is there. It's INCREDIBLY informative on what they think is happening at the summit and why they think it's a repeat of the "much smaller eruptions" of 1924 and not larger ones.

2008 and 2018 views of the "Overlook vent" lava lake within Halema'uma'u Crater.
From March 19 post of HVO's Photo & Video Chronology archive:
Today marks the 10th anniversary of the eruption within Halema'uma'u at the summit of Kīlauea Volcano. When thevent first opened on March 19, 2008, it formed a small pit about 115 feet (35 m) wide. Over the past decade, that pit (informally called the "Overlook crater") has grown into a gaping hole about 919 feet by 656 feet (280 x 200 m) in size. Click on the above webcam images to watch the growth of Overlook crater over the past 10 years.

These were taken from HVO's webcams, which at the time had been capturing images of the caldera and lava lake ("Overlook Vent") every ten minutes for years. They give you a sense of what "normal" was for Kīlauea prior to the start of this eruption:

USGS Video: History of Lava Lake (20 minutes)
Dr. Matt Patrick (USGS) reviews the ten year history of the overlook vent lava lake. Around 8:55 the camera pans around to show the entire lake and other parts of Halemaʻumaʻu Crater. These are some of the last views of it prior to changes in May 2018.
Wind noise makes him a little hard to hear. The USGS also posted this video on their own multimedia library. Since their server sometimes times out, let me include the transcript below.

Oct 2017: Lava Lake at Kilauea's Summit, Nine Years On
Excellent retrospective the USGS put out in 2017 on the then nine-year-old lava lake at Kilauea's summit, with great information and spectacular views:
USGS video description:
In March 2008, a new volcanic vent opened within Halema'uma'u, a crater at the summit of Kīlauea Volcano in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park on the Island of Hawaiʻi. This new vent is one of two ongoing eruptions on the volcano. The other is on Kīlauea's East Rift Zone, where vents have been erupting nearly nonstop since 1983. The duration of these simultaneous summit and rift zone eruptions on Kīlauea is unmatched in at least 200 years.
Since 2008, Kīlauea's summit eruption has consisted of continuous degassing, occasional explosive events, and an active, circulating lava lake. Because of ongoing volcanic hazards associated with the summit vent, including the emission of high levels of sulfur dioxide gas and fragments of hot lava and rock explosively hurled onto the crater rim, the area around Halemaʻumaʻu remains closed to the public as of 2017.
Through historical photos of past Halemaʻumaʻu eruptions and stunning 4K imagery of the current eruption, this 24-minute program tells the story of Kīlauea Volcano's summit lava lake—now one of the two largest lava lakes in the world. It begins with a Hawaiian chant that expresses traditional observations of a bubbling lava lake and reflects the connections between science and culture that continue on Kīlauea today.
The video briefly recounts the eruptive history of Halemaʻumaʻu and describes the formation and continued growth of the current summit vent and lava lake. It features USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scientists sharing their insights on the summit eruption—how they monitor the lava lake, how and why the lake level rises and falls, why explosive events occur, the connection between Kīlauea's ongoing summit and East Rift Zone eruptions, and the impacts of the summit eruption on the Island of Hawaiʻi and beyond.

Daleiden, colleague charged with nine counts of criminal eavesdropping
By Catholic News Service • Posted December 11, 2019
SAN FRANCISCO (CNS) — A California judge ruled Dec. 6 to let a criminal trial proceed against David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt on nine counts of violating California's anti-eavesdropping law.
The charges stem from undercover investigative videos filmed in 2015 by Daleiden and Merritt, who are with the Center for Medical Progress, which showed Planned Parenthood officials discussing fees related to selling fetal tissue. The two posed as representatives of a mythical fetal tissue procurement firm.
Judge Christopher C. Hite of San Francisco County Superior Court dropped five counts against Daleiden and Merritt, but in his order he said there was sufficient evidence to support the nine counts.
The defendants must appear in court for arraignment Jan. 30. Hite's ruling follows a preliminary hearing held in September. The case is California v. David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt.
"The remaining charges under the California video recording law — the first and only time it has ever been used against undercover news gatherers — will fall for the same reasons that five charges were dismissed today: These were public conversations easily overheard by third parties," the Center for Medical Progress said in a statement.
"The real criminals are the Planned Parenthood leadership who sold fetal body parts from late-term abortions and weaponized the justice system to try to cover it up," it added.
Peter Breen, vice president and senior counsel at the Thomas More Society, said he was pleased the five felony counts were thrown out — a sixth one was thrown out earlier — but he said the Chicago-based firm will continue to mount a vigorous defense "until every last one of these specious felony charges are thrown out of court."
Breen, who is leading the firm's defense of Daleiden, said the Center for Medical Progress "followed the same commonly accepted practices, including videotaping in public places, of other undercover journalists."
"David Daleiden is being charged as a criminal for openly delivering information that the public has a right to know, information that the abortion lobby and its financially supported elected officials would rather keep hidden," said Breen. "This prosecution by the state of California is an abuse of the justice system, and we are confident we will totally vindicate David in the end."
LifeNews.com reported that Daleiden and Merritt believe their prosecution is "politically motivated" by former California Attorney General Kamala Harris and her successor, Attorney General Xavier Becerra, because they receive political donations from Planned Parenthood.
Live Action's Lila Rose, who has done her own undercover investigations of the abortion industry, said in a Dec. 6 statement that the charges against Daleiden and Merritt are "unfounded and outrageous."
"Not only is it a violation of their First Amendment rights and a gross abuse of power, it demonstrates the politically motivated double standard that exists for journalists in California seeking the truth," she said.
Rose said the same year Daleiden and Merritt released their undercover recordings on "Planned Parenthood employees haggling over the price of aborted baby body parts, videos taken by undercover animal rights activists were praised and led to investigations of abuse in the poultry industry" by Harris as attorney general.

The Welsh Liberal Democrats have welcomed the announcement from the Welsh Government that the MyTravelPass young persons' bus discount scheme is to be enhanced.
The initial pilot scheme was secured by Welsh Liberal Democrats in opposition during the last Assembly.
The scheme, which has evolved and improved since its pilot in 2015, now offers a third off the fares for all journeys taken by young people aged between 16 and 21 – right up until their 22nd birthday.
The Liberal Democrats raised the issue of digital exclusion with Conservative ministers months ago, but these concerns clearly haven't been taken on board. This underlines the need to look again at Universal Credit, which is clearly not creating the simpler and more accessible benefits system that was intended.
It is easy to forget that, for many of our Party members, Sal Brinton is the only Party President they have ever known. In that sense, they've been pretty fortunate, because (at least in my view) she's been a good one. But all good things come to an end eventually, and Sal is now in her last year before term limits kick in.
… and here are the rest!
The Welsh Liberal Democrats have welcomed plans from Tidal Lagoon Power to build the Swansea Tidal Lagoon without the need for funding from the UK Government.
Never let it be said that we're not public spirited here at Liberal Democrat Voice. So, for those of you who haven't filed your Self Assessment tax return for the year ended 5 April 2018, the deadline is just seventy-two hours away. Don't delay, don't let it peck away at you!
Job losses on this scale are very serious.
There are clearly deep problems within the retail sector, town centres have been declining for years but now out of town stores are struggling too. Perhaps British shoppers have stopped spending and we are on the verge of a serious downturn.
Welsh Lib Dem Leader Jane Dodds has criticised Jeremy Corbyn's "intentionally ambiguous amendment" and urged the Labour leadership to stop "chasing their unicorn Brexit deal".
Brexit is a national embarrassment. The Prime Minister's plan B looks no different to her plan A. Meanwhile, the Labour leadership continues to ignore its members, its voters and the country's interests.
There haven't been that many days of such high drama in Parliament to compare to the next few. How badly will Theresa May lose in the Commons? Will it be enough to force a change of policy? Can the Conservative Party cling together?
Time to take a deep breath, and work out who the Government is. Is it the centre-right modernists, led by Amber Rudd? Is it the opportunistic wannabes, led by Sajid Javid and Jeremy Hunt? Or, is Theresa May in office but not in power? Hard to tell from the outside.


The watercolours that flow from Claudia Liebenberg's exceptionally talented brush are engaging, emotive and honest. Just like the South African-born artist herself.
There's an authenticity to Liebenberg's zeal; she's loved vehicles since childhood, thanks to her petrolhead father. Art was always a hobby—a self-taught endeavour that was never meant to be a serious career.
Then, early last year, Liebenberg started painting motorcycles—and, eventually, cars. As her automotive art gradually found its way online, her career blossomed. Now she's exhibiting and taking commissions as far afield as the United States—creating transport-inspired pieces that any enthusiast would be proud to hang on their wall.
We managed to extract her from her busy schedule, long enough for a brief conversation about her work, her inspiration and her journey.
Claudia Liebenberg: I was born there, and weekends were spent on Dad's flat track; he made one. My first motorbike was a 50cc automatic, a tiny little thing, and then we upgraded to a 80cc scrambler, and we went higher from there. And he had lots of cars, just because he loves it. He was into everything 'engine,' so that's how we spent daddy-daughter time.
So motorbikes started there—they're part of home. When I paint them it really comes from home. That's how we spent quality family time. Family's really important to me—you'll never have a perfect one, but it's really important to me.
Claudia: Texture, the end product comes about quicker, and as a kid it had to do with space: I didn't have enough space for bigger medium things. Watercolours are a little box, with little paints and little pots. I think it was also the cheapest medium, to be honest, at that stage.
I haven't ever done a single art class in my life, I didn't study art, no-one told me how to do a technique, or regard a line here, or remember to put in a shadow there. So I kind of fumbled around through just painting plants. I actually started with botany, a lot of vegetables and silly things… just messing around.
And then I studied. Art was meant as a hobby is what I was told, and I had to know what to study, so art was kept as a hobby.
So what did you study?
Claudia: I studied science, and then psychology post-grad. I think I'll use it at some stage again, I think when I'm in my 40s.
How did you switch from studying psychology, to painting for a living?
Claudia: South Africa's got a very long window period between finishing your studies and actually practicing. It's just a very long term plan. So obviously you get your degree—but you need to pay bills, you need to feed your face. You need to be a grown-up.
So I launched into working with my hands, and working with leather. I did odd jobs here and there, all working with my hands, exploring different stuff.
My back was against the wall—I really needed something to pay some bills. The art just happened at the right time and the right place. It's sincerely a God-given talent, and I'm very blessed to be able to do it.
I got my portfolio together, plugged in hard-earned cash to build a website, and then I decided "hey, let's do an exhibition." I'd never done one in my life, but I got this rad space for under R500, in Stellenbosch.
At what point did you start painting motorcycles?
Claudia: I'd been saving pictures of bikes, because they're just beautiful to look at. If I'd ever be driving somewhere, I'd always notice them alongside the street, or see one parked.
When it came time to paint, I saw a pretty one, and decided to paint it. So I just did.
Then, at the exhibition, as I looked at all my work that I'd worked so hard on, in front of me, the one spot was just motorbikes. I would say half of the work was just motorbikes. Clearly I was interested in this.
After that, the response on Instagram blew me away. That is my main social media platform for advertising. I didn't plan it—obviously, but people responded to the little bits of moto-art that I started putting up.
Why do you think motorcycles are such a romantic subject?
Claudia: It's the exposed engine, the shape of the tank—it's just a beautiful machine. It's a very sentimental art form. Art is sentimental, but it's a very sentimental machine as well.
There's just something feminine about how a motorcycle is put together. It's a beautiful piece of art, just the shapes in it. And for me that's the best of painting them.
Claudia: I start by drawing—I have to put down the basic shapes. It's the circles, which are the tyres, and the triangle, and then you layer on the basic shapes, and their ratios to each other.
Claudia: I chatted to someone the other day and their question was—which was really interesting—"how do you see the light?" She said I captured light in my work.
And that's what makes you a good watercolour artist—if you can look at an image, strip it down, and then think in invert. Because you don't really paint light—you paint shadow. You 'capture' light.
You started adding cars to your portfolio late last year. Was that a big mindset shift?
Claudia: Not really: Dad is a motor-head, so I grew up with four wheels and two. I get both, it's just the paint job that's a different mindset, not really the love for the wheels. I get the lifestyle of both, because he always took me to shows that he went to, with the built-up classic cars, the old Chevs, and the old Chryslers, and the old BMWS, and the old whatevers.
I have a bunch of pictures from when he went to Daytona, to a massive show there back in the day. So I have a lot of material to work with.
You recently shot over to the US to show off some work, how'd that go?
Claudia: The fabulous Oil & Ink expo is the reason why I went. I'd been saving up to at some point be able to exhibit work overseas. I'd had one or two requests for it, but up until that point I didn't feel financially strong enough to make that move.
I painted a piece a while ago, that I released while we were camping through the desert in Namibia. It was a hit and people loved it, so I sent that specific one in for the Oil & Ink expo.
Then John, the founder, contacted me and it was pretty much all systems go from then. My piece got involved, traveling with him and the other artists' work to various shows.
I've worked with brands there, I've had lots of work go that side, so I thought this is such a great opportunity for an artist to be at an expo that one of their pieces is at, regardless of if it's inside the country or outside the country. And being at expos is something I greatly value—I'd much rather be at the place where my work is exhibited than just send my work.
It was a very organic process. The second expo was closer to the end, it was actually the Friday just before the Deus Bike Build off which is something I really wanted to see, and that made for two weeks of travel in between; traveling, and meeting up with people, and visiting garages, and stores, and sights and stuff.
It actually worked out perfectly—with a show to start with and a show to finish with, and everything else mushed up in between.

Q: C# calculate Maximum week overtime in given period of time My calendar is working with a class Shift which looks like this:
public class Shift
{
    public TimeSpan Start { get; private set; } //e.g. 08:00
    public TimeSpan End { get; private set; } //e.g. 17:00
    public DateTime Day { get; } //e.g. 23.3. 2015
}

The calendar class looks like this:
 public class Calendar
 {
    public Shift[] ShiftsOfEmployee { get; set; }
    public DateTime StartDate { get; set; }
    public DateTime EndDate { get; set; }
    public Calendar(DateTime startDate, DateTime endDate)
    {
        StartDate = startDate;
        EndDate = endDate;
        ShiftsOfEmployee = new Shift[Length()];
    }

    public int Length()
    {
        return (EndDate - StartDate).Days;
    }

    public void calculateMaximumOvertime()
    {
        //TODO
    }
 }

What I am trying to do now is the calculateMaximumOvertime function. I was thinking to do it by calculating the number of weeks(e.g. int weeks = (EndDate - StartDate).TotalDays / 7;) and then create a List of results one for every week. Then go day by day through ShiftsOfEmployee and add the value from every Shift (if there is any, otherwise 0) to the corresponding week. Then I would have to go once again through the List of results and pick the maximum. All of this seems to me a bit clunky and I was thinking whether there is a better way of doing it?

A: You can split your problem into two parts: finding the calendar week and calculating the sums.
You can use Calendar.GetWeekOfYear to solve the first problem. Then you can use Linq to summarize the data in set fashion.
DateTimeFormatInfo dfi = DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo;
var cal = dfi.Calendar;

var shiftWeeks = from se in ShiftsOfEmployee
                 group se by cal.GetWeekOfYear(se.Day, dfi.CalendarWeekRule, dfi.FirstDayOfWeek)
                   into g
                 select new
                 {
                     WeekNumber = g.Key,
                     Units = g.Sum(s => Units(s.Start, s.End))
                 };

 var max = shiftWeeks.Max(wk => wk.Units);

 public static int Units(TimeSpan start, TimeSpan end) { ... }

Or if you want the max value per week
var shiftWeeks = from se in ShiftsOfEmployee
                 group se by cal.GetWeekOfYear(se.Day, dfi.CalendarWeekRule, dfi.FirstDayOfWeek)
                   into g
                 select new
                 {
                     WeekNumber = g.Key,
                     Max = g.Max(s => Units(s.Start, s.End))
                 };

A: Dividing the weeks up like that wont work well if the amount  of days is not a factor of seven. A better way of tackling this would be to add each shift into a List and have a counter increment everytime a shift is added, once it reaches 7, create another list representing your next week and reset the counter, and then continue doing this until all shifts have been added to a "week." Then you can do your processing of the largest overtime hours.
public void calculateMaximumOvertime()
{
    List<Shift[]> ShiftsByWeek = new List<Shift[]>();
    int count = 0;
    Shift[] adder = new Shift[6];
    foreach (var shift in ShiftsOfEmployee)
    {
        adder.SetValue(shift, count);
        count++;
        if (count == 6)
        {
            Shift[] temp = new Shift[6];
            adder.CopyTo(temp, 0);
            ShiftsByWeek.Add(temp);
            Array.Clear(adder, 0 , adder.Length);
            count = 0;
        }
    }
}

EDIT: This method does not take into consideration the day of the week, but since days of the week are position based you could design your Array representing a week of shifts with each index representing a day of the week, such that
Week[0] = sunday
Week[1] = monday
Week[2] = tuesday

and so on.

Q: In Azure does Ambari Web UI provide information to suggest how to scale Releated to AZure Cloud
Batch processing will run daily and must:
✑ Scale to minimize costs
✑ Be monitored for cluster performance
Dose Ambari Web UI will monitor clusters and provide information to suggest how to scale?
Is Ambari tool is recommended (or) Instead of using Ambari tool do i need to use "Azure Log Analytics" and "HDInsight cluster management solutions".
Got got confused need some clarification.

A: You can use Azure HDInsight's free Autoscale feature can automatically increase or decrease the number of worker nodes in your cluster based on previously set criteria. You set a minimum and maximum number of nodes during cluster creation, establish the scaling criteria using a day-time schedule or specific performance metrics, and the HDInsight platform does the rest.

How it works?

The Autoscale feature uses two types of conditions to trigger scaling events: thresholds for various cluster performance metrics (called load-based scaling) and time-based triggers (called schedule-based scaling). Load-based scaling changes the number of nodes in your cluster, within a range that you set, to ensure optimal CPU usage and minimize running cost. Schedule-based scaling changes the number of nodes in your cluster based on operations that you associate with specific dates and times.
Auto Scale - Load-based:

Auto Scale - Scheduled-based:

Reference: Automatically scale Azure HDInsight clusters

The U.S. economy grew 3.5 percent in the third quarter of 2018, according to the Commerce Department on Friday. That's a slowdown from 4.2 percent GDP growth in the previous three months, but a solid gain and the latest sign of stable economic productivity.
The latest figures give President Donald Trump — who has frequently promised at least 4 percent GDP growth– something to point to as evidence that his policies are helping the economy. Trump has also credited the GOP tax law with boosting economic growth.
The GDP report also comes at a good time for Trump and Republicans, as the party fights to hold onto control of the House and Senate in the midterm elections. The report was one of the last major economic indicators before Election Day (there will be one more jobs report released Nov. 2).
But none of this is unexpected.
As the chart below shows, the Congressional Budget Office estimated the U.S. economy would grow 3.3 percent this year. That estimate seems right on track: the economy has grown by an average of 3.2 percent in the first three quarters of 2018.
Two of the main reasons for the boost are a rise in government defense spending, as well as consumer spending, which jumped 4 percent in the third quarter. Americans are buying more because of increasing wages, a lower unemployment rate and the new tax law Trump signed in December that slashed corporate taxes and lowered income tax rates for many individuals.
"When tax cuts put money in people's pockets, they are likely to spend it," said William Gale, the co-director of the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center.
Americans are expected to see their taxes reduced by $1,600 on average this year, with most of those cuts going to households making between $308,000 and $733,000, according to an analysis by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center.
But there is a big difference in how tax cuts affect economic growth in the short run versus the long run, Gale added.
The Congressional Budget Office estimated GDP growth would spike in 2018 but drop to more moderate levels in the coming years.
The chart indicates that real GDP growth ("real" means adjusted for inflation) is expected to drop significantly in the long run.
The Congressional Budget Office points to several reasons for that: the expiration of personal income tax cuts, slower growth in federal spending, and higher interest rates and prices.
The individual tax cuts in the GOP law are set to end in 2025, although Republicans have proposed making them permanent.
The other main problem is that gap you see in the chart between GDP (the amount the economy is actually producing) and potential GDP (what an economy could produce when it is operating at its highest potential).
Real GDP can be higher than real potential GDP if the economy gets extra stimulus from government spending or tax cuts.
But higher real GDP is good, right? Well, not always, because having GDP growth above potential GDP typically leads to higher prices, also known as inflation. If inflation isn't kept in check, it can feed on itself in an upward spiral — what's known as wage-price inflation.
Gale compared that stimulus to having too much coffee.
Trump has said the Federal Reserve is the biggest risk to the U.S. economy.
"If you are tired in the afternoon, that will get you through the rest of the day, but a steady diet of sugar and caffeine is not healthy," he said.
The last time inflation spiked in the 1970s, it led to the Federal Reserve hitting the brakes hard on economic growth, and a sharp recession followed.
The Federal Reserve typically tries to steer a middle course between runaway growth that fuels inflation and slow growth that doesn't create enough jobs. Right now, the Fed is raising interest rates to keep inflation in check, a clear sign of concern the economy could overheat. (In a series of unusual attacks, Trump has denounced the Fed's recent rate hikes and claimed the central bank is the "biggest risk" to the U.S. economy.)
Conservative analysts said they weren't too worried about inflation because the new tax law is meant to encourage investment, not just spending.
"If businesses are investing in new pieces of equipment, it is making them more efficient and that can lead to lower prices on the widget that is being produced," said Adam Michel, a economic and fiscal policy analyst at the conservative Heritage Foundation.
In the end, simultaneous spikes in investment and consumer spending could balance each other out, leaving the price of most goods largely unchanged.
But that assumes companies will invest their tax cuts in new equipment and facilities. So far, much of the money from the tax cuts is not going directly to investments, but instead to stock buybacks, something Democrats predicted in their opposition of the bill.
There is another threat to future real GDP growth as well: tariffs. Exports spiked in the second quarter because producers were trying to sell their products before the Trump administration's new tariffs — on goods like steel and electronics from China and other countries — kicked in. Those exports dropped in the third quarter and could continue to drop if the tariffs remain in place.
The upshot: the overall economy remains strong, for now. Unemployment is low. Wages are starting to tick up. The question is how long it can last.
