Q: How to update appsettings.json based on publish profile using .NET Core? I'm currently making the switch from .NET Framework to .NET Core. In the past, all of my application settings were in the Web.config file. When I added a new publish profile, I could right click and select 'Add Config Transform' which would generate a nested Web.{Profile}.config file under Web.config where I could set application settings that were specific to the respective profile.
Now, in .NET Core, I want to achieve the same effect using an appsettings.json file instead of Web.config file. How can I create an appsettings.{Profile}.json file which will be nested under my appsettings.json file and contain settings that are specific to my publish profile? Of course, I can create the file manually, but what is it that 'links' the settings so that they will override appsettings.json when the application is published? Is there a simple way to do this in Visual Studio like I described for my old .NET Framework projects? Or am I missing something?
Thanks!

A: ...and since my original comment, I have since come to find that web.config transforms are fully supported by VS 2017 and MS Build for .NET Core, once you realize the nesting and transform build commands do not need to be part of the project any longer. Do not use the "Add Config Transforms" command on your web.config any longer, unless you find a fix that doesn't corrupt your project file. Simply manually add transform versions of your web.config, and they will automatically nest and run on publish. Yea VS 2017!
The following, in your web.Release.config works very nicely to set your Environment Variable.
<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
  <location>
    <system.webServer>
      <aspNetCore>
        <environmentVariables>
          <environmentVariable name="ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT" value="Production" xdt:Locator="Match(name)" xdt:Transform="SetAttributes" />
        </environmentVariables>
      </aspNetCore>
    </system.webServer>
  </location>
</configuration>

Additionally, with .NET Core 2.2, you no longer need to add the additional appsettings transforms (switching off your Environment Variable,) to your Startup class. This default...
    public Startup(IConfiguration configuration)
    {
        Configuration = configuration;
    }

...takes care of the accepted answer's code automatically.
The bottom-line is, as an unapologetic Microsoft developer, I still want to assume my application will only be published to an IIS server, using MS Build and Web Deploy, and I would like the ability to configure my application through the application's own config; and I want to be able to do this on Build, not as a publish or post-publish command-line command. If Microsoft or someone creates a simple build plugin for Visual Studio that will transform my appsettings.json file, so I only publish what is necessary for the given environment, I will gladly use it, but I haven't found one, or had the time to write one, yet.
And just so I make sure to answer the OP's question directly: AppSettings can easily be transferred from web.config to appsettings.json, and probably should, as long as you understand ALL of the appsettings.json files are published, and determined at run-time, unlike a true transform solution where only the necessary files and settings are published, based on the requested profile. Using the web.config transform only to set the environment variable necessary to determine which appsettings.{env}.json file to use. Again, this whole discussion goes the way of the Dodo, if we can transform our apsettings.json file the same as our web.config, as the OP requested. I have a feeling it will come someday, if it hasn't already.
Yes, moving from a legacy .NET Framework to .NET Core can be a fun exercise. .NET Core is a huge step forward, but there are a few hurdles to get over; especially for those who have been on legacy since the start.

A:
but what is it that 'links' the settings so that they will override
  appsettings.json when the application is published?

The appsettings are configured by WebHost in Program.cs
public static IWebHostBuilder CreateWebHostBuilder(string[] args) =>
    WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
        .UseStartup<Startup>();

In the implementation of webhost.cs the framework adds the appsettings to the webhost:
config.AddJsonFile("appsettings.json", optional: true, reloadOnChange: true)
      .AddJsonFile($"appsettings.{env.EnvironmentName}.json", optional: true, reloadOnChange: true);

The second line is where it adds the environment specific appsettings. Within Visual Studio this environment variable is defined in the Project Settings -> Debug page and is called ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT. By default it is set to Development so when you build and run within Visual Studio the appsettings.development.json file (if it exists) will be loaded and override any matching settings in the appsettings.json file.
When you publish your application you can override this value using an OS environment variable of the same name. There is an hierarchy of where .NET Core reads the values from and has a "last one wins " policy.
The hierarchy is currently:

*

*Files (appsettings.json, appsettings.{Environment}.json, where {Environment} is the app's current hosting environment)

*Azure Key Vault

*User secrets (Secret Manager) (in the Development environment only)

*Environment variables

*Command-line arguments

So when you publish your app you can override the environment on the host OS using an environment variable. When .NET Core starts your published app it will read that variables and load the appropriate appsettings.{environment}.json file. IF the value is not set, or no file exists for that environment, then the settings in appsettings.json will apply.
You can read more about the ASPNETCORE_ENVIROMENT setting here

A: Here's an ugly work-around:
In an Azure build pipeline, after building the ASP.NET core project, copy the appsettings.Production.json file to a separate folder in the artifact folder.
In the release pipeline, use a 'Replace tokens' task to replace tokens in that json file with release variables.
After deploying the app to IIS copy the 'transformed' appsettings.Production.json to the web site folder.
It works...

Congressional Roll Call Here's a look at how area members of Congress voted over the previous week. Check out this story on citizen-times.com: http://avlne.ws/1BTVeIp

WASHINGTON – Here's a look at how area members of Congress voted over the previous week.
There were five key votes in the Senate this week, which held 10 roll call votes. There were eight key votes in the House, which held 13 roll call votes. The most important votes in both chambers were to approve funding of the Homeland Security Department in fiscal 2015.
Along with roll call votes, the Senate also passed a bill (H.R. 431), sponsored by Rep. Terri A. Sewell, D-Ala., to give a Congressional Gold Medal to individuals, known as foot soldiers, who took part in the black voting rights march from Selma, Ala., to Montgomery, Ala., in March 1965, or took part in the two attempted marches that preceded the successful march.
The House also passed a bill (H.R. 280), sponsored by Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., to authorize the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to recoup bonuses and awards paid to employees of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
•Foster Home Care for Veterans: The House passed the Long-Term Care Veterans Choice Act (H.R. 294), sponsored by Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla. The bill would authorize the Veterans Affairs Department to transfer veterans in need of assisted care to medical foster homes that are not operated by the VA, with the number of such transfers capped at 900. Miller said the authorization would give veterans and their families the option of pursuing an alternative to nursing home care that houses veterans in a more domestic, family-friendly setting than nursing homes. The vote, on March 2, was unanimous with 405 yeas.
Yeas: McHenry R-NC (10th), Meadows R-NC (11th)
•Senate, House Versions of Homeland Security Bill: The House disagreed with the Senate amendment to the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act (H.R. 240) and requested a conference with the Senate to negotiate changes to the bill. A supporter of the measure to request a conference, Rep. Michael C. Burgess, R-Texas, said it would rightly insist on defunding implementation of President Obama's executive orders on enforcing immigration law, and avert the damage implementation would due to border security. An opponent, Rep. Steve Israel, D-N.Y., said it would undermine Homeland Security by tying agency funding to Republican opposition to the executive orders on immigration. The vote, on Feb. 27, was 228 yeas to 191 nays.
•Stopgap Homeland Security Funding: The House rejected a bill (H. Res. 35), sponsored by Rep. Harold Rogers, R-Ky., that would have provided continuing appropriations at the fiscal 2015 rate for the Homeland Security Department until March 19. Rogers said stopgap funding was needed to avert a Homeland Security shutdown at the end of Feb. 27, which would have potentially risked U.S. security. A bill opponent, Rep. Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., said that by failing to provide longer-term funding certainty for Homeland Security, the stopgap funding bill would disrupt vital Homeland Security programs, including the issuance of terrorism preparedness grants to state and local public safety agencies and efforts to improve border security. The vote, on Feb. 27, was 203 yeas to 224 nays.
Yeas: McHenry R-NC (10th)
Nays: Meadows R-NC (11th)
•Motion on Negotiating Homeland Security Bill: The House rejected a motion, sponsored by Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard, D-Calif., to instruct House conferees with the Senate to negotiate the two chambers' conflicting versions of the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act (H.R. 240). The motion would have instructed House conferees to agree to the Senate's amendment to the bill, and provide funding for Homeland Security for the rest of fiscal 2015. Roybal-Allard said that without full-year funding, Homeland Security would be unable to pursue a variety of programs, including measures to improve border security technology, investigate international criminal gangs, and build a bio and agro-defense facility in Kansas. A motion opponent, Rep. John R. Carter, R-Texas, said it would mean ceding to the president the unilateral power to make sweeping changes to immigration policies due to its failure to oppose last November's orders changing the status and treatment of illegal immigrants. The vote, on Feb. 27, was 201 yeas to 218 nays.
Nays: McHenry R-NC (10th), Meadows R-NC (11th)
•Temporary Funding for Homeland Security: The House concurred in the Senate amendment to the Protecting Volunteer Firefighters and Emergency Responders Act (H.R. 33), sponsored by Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Pa. The bill provided funding for the Homeland Security Department through March 5. A supporter, Rep. Harold Rogers, R-Ky., said the continued funding was needed to give Congress time to negotiate a bill to fund Homeland Security for the remainder of fiscal 2015. The vote, on Feb. 27, was 357 yeas to 60 nays.
•Tabling Homeland Security Amendment: The House rejected a motion sponsored by Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., to lay the Senate amendment to the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act (H.R. 240) on the table, rejecting the amendment. Massie said the action was needed for the House to use its power of the purse to block funding for what he called "the unconstitutional and illegal actions of the executive branch" in granting amnesty to illegal immigrants. A motion opponent, Rep. Michael K. Simpson, R-Idaho, said that because the amendment to the bill did not specifically fund the executive orders granting amnesty, tabling it would not stop amnesty, only increase the threat of shutting down Homeland Security. Simpson added that the judiciary branch should decide whether or not amnesty is constitutional. The vote, on March 3, was 140 yeas to 278 nays.
Nays: McHenry R-NC (10th)
Yeas: Meadows R-NC (11th)
•Agreement on Homeland Security Bill: The House agreed to a motion sponsored by Rep. Michael K. Simpson, R-Idaho, to concur with the Senate amendment to the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act (H.R. 240). The amendment removed House-passed provisions that would have blocked funding for implementation of President Obama's executive orders deferring enforcement against several groups of illegal immigrants. Simpson said approval of the amendment to allow passage of the bill was "the only path forward to avoid a potentially devastating shutdown" of Homeland Security and fulfill the House's constitutional obligation to provide funding for the federal government. A motion opponent, Rep. H. Morgan Griffith, R-Va., said rather than the House having to accept the Senate amendment, the House and Senate should instead go to conference to work out differences between their versions of the bill. The vote, on March 3, was 257 yeas to 167 nays.
•Amtrak Funding Bill: House passed the Passenger Rail Reform and Investment Act (H.R. 749), sponsored by Rep. Bill Shuster, R-Pa. The bill would authorize appropriations through fiscal 2019 for Amtrak, including requirements for investment in rail service in Amtrak's Northeast Corridor. Shuster said provisions specifying that Amtrak dedicate resources to the Northeast Corridor would improve passenger rail options in that region, while other provisions promised to improve Amtrak's efficiency. No bill opponents spoke on the House floor. The vote, on March 4, was 316 yeas to 101 nays.
•2015 Funding for Homeland Security: The Senate passed the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act (H.R. 240), sponsored by Rep. Harold Rogers, R-Ky. The bill would provide $39.7 billion of funding for Homeland Security in fiscal 2015, including $2.5 billion for grants to first responders at the state and local government levels, $7 billion for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, $10.7 billion for Customs and Border Protection, $5.96 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, $10 billion for the Coast Guard, and $4.8 billion for the Transportation Security Administration. It did not include House-passed provisions to block funding for President Obama's executive order granting amnesty to illegal immigrants. A supporter, Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., said it fulfilled Congress's responsibility to preserve national security by ensuring continuous funding for Homeland Security, without entangling funding with the debate over whether to the executive order to be implemented. A bill opponent, Sen. David Vitter, R-La., said that by failing to block the amnesty order, it would encourage further illegal immigration into the U.S., and allow the president to go beyond his constitutional authority by granting a new legal status for entire groups of illegal immigrants. The vote, on Feb. 27, was 68 yeas to 31 nays.
Nays: Burr R-NC, Tillis R-NC
•Immigration Policy: The Senate rejected a cloture motion to end debate on the Immigration Rule of Law Act (S. 534), sponsored by Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine. The bill would block funding for the Homeland Security Department to carry out President Obama's recent executive orders to defer enforcement of immigration laws, as well as related policy memos from the Homeland Security Secretary. Collins said the bill was a necessary statement by Congress defending "the separation of powers doctrine in our Constitution" and the legislative branch's authority over immigration policy. A bill opponent, Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., praised the executive orders, which he said will increase the ability of immigration authorities to check the status of undocumented people in the U.S. The vote, on Feb. 27, was 57 yeas to 42 nays, with a three-fifths majority required to end debate.
Yeas: Burr R-NC, Tillis R-NC
•Negotiating Homeland Security Bill: The Senate rejected a motion sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to agree to a House request for conference negotiations with the Senate on the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act (H.R. 240). An opponent of going to conference, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., called on the House to accept the Senate-passed bill to fund Homeland Security, which did not block funding to implement President Obama's executive orders on deferring enforcement action against illegal immigrants. Shaheen said "brinksmanship" by House Republicans was jeopardizing U.S. safety and security by threatening to shut down Homeland Security. A supporter of going to conference, Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., said the orders exceeded Obama's executive authority by usurping Congress's legislative power, and accepting the House bill in conference would stop that overreach. The vote, on March 2, was 47 yeas to 43 nays, with a three-fifths majority required to agree to the conference with the House.
•Rules for Union Elections: The Senate passed a bill (S.J. Res. 8), sponsored by Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., that would state Congress's disapproval of a National Labor Relations Board rule to shorten the period between when employees seeking to organize a union at a workplace ask for a secret ballot election to vote on unionization and when the election takes place. Alexander said the rule could allow elections to occur within two weeks of a request, giving neither employees nor employers enough time to prepare and decide how to vote on unionization. A bill opponent, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the NLRB rule assisted workers by making it easier for them to pursue "the benefits provided by collective bargaining: higher wages, safe working conditions, decent health care." The vote, on March 4, was 53 yeas to 46 nays.
•Keystone XL Veto: The Senate failed to override a presidential veto of the Keystone XL Pipeline Act (S. 1), sponsored by Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D. The bill would have authorized TransCanada to construct its proposed Keystone XL pipeline to carry oil from Alberta into the U.S. and declare that environmental reviews for the pipeline are complete. Hoeven said TransCanada has met regulatory requirements for issues such as the siting and safe construction of Keystone XL, received approval from the six states that would host the pipeline, and received a favorable environmental assessment from the State Department, making further review of the proposal unnecessary. An opponent, Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., said approval would clear the way for Canadian special interests to import "the filthiest, dirtiest, tar sands oil" into the U.S. The vote, on March 4, was 62 yeas to 37 nays, five votes short of the two-thirds majority needed to override the veto.

Minoan culture, Mycenean culture
The Cretan art is also named Minoan art, after the legendary King Minos.
Cretan-Minoan art is the art of Crete from about 2900 - 1600 B.C. (Minoan art) and the Mycenaean art of Crete and the Greek mainland from about 1600 - 1100 B.C., in Crete only to 1200 B.C.
German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann discovered significant remains of this culture in the shaft graves of Mycenae, that had their heyday in the 14th and 13th centuries B.C. A well-preserved testimony is the Lion Gate from the 13th century B.C.
Splendidly decorated vases are the artworks of ceramics that have best survived the turmoil of millennia. Snake Goddess (around 1500 B.C.), a faience figurine, that has been discovered in the Temple Repositories of the Knossos palace are also famous. Bronze vessels of that time were primarily used in household. Daggers, swords and armor were then also made of bronze.
The jewelery of the Cretan-Mycenaean ladies was made of gold, rock crystal, lapis lazuli, ivory, faience and glass.
Geometric culture
The geometric art developed as a continuation of the late Mycenaean art on the Greek mainland towards the end of the late 11th century B.C. Mathematically regulatory will of style entered the geometric art replacing natural Crete-Mycenaean formal language. Another new feature is the use of the ruler and the compass. The jewelry of this time is also based on strict geometric principles.
Archaic culture
The architecture developed from the temples of the 8th and 7th century B.C. Initially, mudbrick and wood were used for building, later the forms were transferred to stone. A monumental style developed in sculpture. Marble, bronze, clay and limestone were used as materials. Gods, heroes, victorious competitors were embodied in typical young nude statues. Gods or sacred figures were portrayed in clothes.
In addition to sculpture there has also developed relief art, which was preferably used for decorating the temple.
The statuettes made of clay and bronze appeared since the 6th century B.C.
Classical culture (5th and 4th century B.C.)
The beginning of the Greek Classical period falls in the stirring times of the great statesman Pericles. Thanks to his democratic politics Athens became the focal point of cultural life and artistic creation in ancient Greece.
The classic architecture refined the shapes and proportions to perfection. The Temple of Zeus at Olympia, the Parthenon on the Acropolis of Athens and other major temples arose.
In sculpture, the time of the Severe style began. The rigid forms of the earlier period were blown up, the human body was studied anatomically. Top performances of the Severe style include the Charioteer of Delphi and the Artemision Bronze, that was recovered from the sea by fishermen.
A further increase brought the High Classical sculpture. Sculptors like Myron, Phidias and Polykleitos created sculptures that affect the statuary art to the present day. (discus thrower, Athena-Marsyas group, the heroes of Riace, etc.)
In the 4th century, a romantic conception prevailed. Praxiteles and Lysippos determined the art of the time. Sculptures such as Hermes and the Infant Dionysus, Pouring Satyr and especially the Aphrodite of Cnidus are magnificent examples of the artistic conception of Classical Greece.
With the conquests of Alexander the Great, the Greek art dominated in the Mediterranean and in the Orient. In the temple construction the Ionic and Corinthian style prevailed.
Lysippos initiated the statuary art of the Hellenistic period. The temples like in Pergamon were richly decorated with statues. The Winged Victory of Samothrace was created at the beginning of the 2nd century B.C. and Venus de Milo – towards the end of the century. The Hellenistic sculpture experienced its endpoint and last increase with Laocoön Group. The painting of the period was determined by Apelles. The Hellenistic painters represented such themes as historical events, portraits and genre paintings.

Chroniclers in the Field of Cultural Production: Courts, Law and the Interpretive Process
Backer, Larry Catá
This paper unearths the cultural basis of judicial authority in the project of producing and reproducing cultural norms, that is, the unconscious "common sense" of "things" from which we draw all rules of social conduct. It does so from two perspectives. The first considers authority from the perspective of the sorts of pronouncements of "law" that judges purport to make. The second looks to ingrained and submerged cultural patterns of "hearing" for the model by which individuals and societies in the West submit to and obey the judicial voice. Identification and memorialization provide the key to understanding the weightiness with which judicial speaking is heard. Courts act judicially, and therefore say something worth hearing, only when they engage in acts of identifying and articulating points of social consensus. The very act of pronouncement serves to reinforce and memorialize the consensus articulated. But the weight given to judicial pronouncements also engages the hearer in the more subtle act of repeating and reinforcing basic cultural patterns of speaking and hearing. Courts pronounce in three different cultural voices: the Homeric, the Delphic, and the voices of Job's companions. The two Greek voices speak with measured tones and single-minded linear confidence; they are transmissions from the divine which must be obeyed. The voices of Job's companions adds a layer of messiness and conflict to the authority of judicial pronouncement. Biblical patterns of cultural speaking also create within the court the possibility of change. The courts provide a site for the articulation of prophetic voices. These are the voices, within and without the law, that are the harbingers of change.

Subtracting a varied break times on a time sheet.
I need help, I am doing a time sheet that contains shift work and allowances and lunch times that vary.
I would use a Date/Time format (e.g 5/22 14:00) for start/end times and a simple time format (e.g 0:30) for the break time which would eliminate much of the complexity of your first formula. It would then simply be =F6-E6-D6. As for the second formula for shift allowance, I'm a bit lost. My understanding of shift allowance is to pay more for off shifts. Is that the goal here?
I would like to see a current version of the template you use where you show your inputs with desired results and the current formulas that you use.
sorry I have tried to copy and paste but this is not allowing me to.
To do that, you edit your question and upload an Excel file with the template in it.
Hi, I have uploaded the file as you said.... thankyou again for explaining what to do..
some how I need to get the formula to work on 24hrs as the above formula with spicific times does not work in the night shift column "21:30""7:00"


HYDERABAD: 'Shaktiman' held sway over the Old City skies last Sankranti. This year 'Masoom' appears to be the high-flier.
With just 20 days to go to Sankranti, a variety of new kites made of PVC are attracting the attention of kite enthusiasts this festival season.
Last year, the 'Shaktiman' kites, with pictures of the hero of the popular television serial of the same name, recorded the maximum sales. This year, there is reasonable demand for 'Dulhan', 'Adda,' 'Poawana' and 'Pachwali, but 'Masoom' is beating them all hands down.
Kites sales have picked up momentum in the Old City, especially in the famous kite market at Gulzar Houz. Colourful kites have started showing up in the shops at Gulzar Houz,which is easily the largest kite market in the state.
People from all over the state come to this 100-year-old market, which has over 200 shops selling a wide variety of kites. "Sales have not reached the same level as last year, mostly because of the curfew following the riots on December 6.
People from the districts are scared to come to the Old City,� said Venugopal, owner of Bajaj Patang Mahal, who has been selling kites for the last 35 years.
"But there is no significant change in the response from the local people. The local demand is more or less the same,� he added.
Kites made of PVC are specially brought from Ahmedabad, Bareli, Jaipur, Rajasthan and Mumbai. Kites are also made locally in Yakutpura, Madannapet, Moghalpura and several other localities in the city.


Since the competition is high in various fields, people need to get updated with advanced skills and technologies so that they will be able to withstand the competition. In order to make in to the competition and to win a place to achieve a position, trainings and qualifications are needed. IT field is facing diverse advancements and the IT engineers have to get qualified in any certification programs that help them to make sure to be in a challenging position.
One of the highly qualifying certification courses for the IT engineers is CCIE. Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert is shortly called as CCIE. Passing CCIE exam to get certified is not at all easy. CCIE is one of the most demanded certifications in IT industry these days because the CCIE certified engineers will master and become experts in the industry. It is a rare honor to secure and requires a lot of preparation. It does not happen to all because each time less than the 10 percent of candidates applied for this exam gets certification. Large number of IT people is interested in doing this course but strenuous preparation is needed to crack this exam to get certified.
CCIE exams are conducted in 2 different steps such as written exam and lab exam. The writer exam is the first step which is mandatory and unless the person gets passed the person will not be able to attend lab exam. The fact is that this exam is conducted by few network professionals all over the world.
The CISCO certification courses are conducted by Pearson VUE all over the world and they are a world famous testing body. Since Pearson VUE takes on the complete administration the interested candidate should enroll for the exam with Pearson VUE by paying the fixed fees. As said already, once the written exam is cleared, the candidate has to take lab exam but within 12 months of time since the candidate clears the written exam.
Most of the candidates find written exam as moderate or easy but the tough part starts in the lab exam. It is a difficult phase which takes almost 8 hours of exam to clear and it costs much. Like other lab tests, no source material is allowed inside the exam lab. In the lab exam the candidate has to prove skills such as managing the network, configuring, trouble shooting and other related setups and aspects of network depends on the CCIE exam type the candidate has chosen.


Model 33KBX35, Meriam multiple tube well type manometer, is a versatile instrument used in production testing, process measurement and for laboratory data analysis. Up to six individual direct reading manometer systems are enclosed in individual compact cases. Each tube (system) can be used to measure pressure, vacuum, differential pressure, flow or liquid level. Complex pressure distributions or multiple pressure relationships are easily observed and readily compared.
Different manometer fluids of various densities can be used in each tube. The scales can be graduated as required. Flexibility for various application requirements is possible by design modifications. For example, raised wells can be furnished so positive and negative pressures can be indicated without changing the pressure connections.
The multiple tube type manometer is widely used for tank liquid level measurement. Many tanks located remotely on a tank farm are connected to the level gauges in the central control instrument panel. Special scales can be graduated duplex to indicate liquid depth in feet and inches, as well as tank capacity in gallons or pounds.

Mogherini and Commissioner Hahn on the adoption of the Reform Agenda in Bosnia and Herzegovina
The adoption of the Reform Agenda by Bosnia and Herzegovina authorities is a crucial step forward for the country's EU integration path. Bosnia and Herzegovina authorities, in consultation with the European Union and International Financial Institutions, agreed a concrete set of reforms, identified as an urgent priority for the country. These reforms aim at addressing the legitimate socio-economic concerns expressed by the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina and their demands for jobs and a better perspective. We expect that the country's authorities will now fully implement the Reform Agenda without delay. In this regard, the adoption of the Labour legislation will be an important first step. Progress in the implementation of the Reform Agenda will also be necessary for the country's membership application to be considered as credible by the EU. The European Union is ready to further support Bosnia and Herzegovina, including with policy advice and financial support, in the efforts to implement the Reform Agenda and advance the country further on its European...
My press conference in Iran with FM Zarif
Thank you very much, Mr Minister. Let me start by thanking you for the invitation to visit Tehran so early after the deal was reached exactly two weeks ago in Vienna, thanks to the hard work, the dedication, and the commitment of all delegations involved, all teams involved. Let me thank you for your personal commitment in this process, the personal commitment of Dr Ali Akbar Salehi, of all your negotiating team and for the support, the personal and political support that clearly was there from the President and the Supreme Leader – this is something that made the deal possible. I think that this deal has shown very clearly that diplomacy and multilateralism do bring results, if all the parties are committed, with strong political will, with patience and with determination. I think this was good news for the entire region, for the world. Indeed now it is time to show that not only reaching the deal, but starting to work on the implementation of the deal is going to be historical. This is the first reason of my visit, two weeks after, to start the concrete work on the implementation of the deal, on all sides: on the European side we have done some steps, on the international community side, on the Iranian side. We want this deal to be historical not only in the signing of it, but also in the implementation of it. It is an agreement that is a nuclear-related agreement, but its potential is much wider, much broader than this. It is a deal that has the potential to open a new chapter...
In Iran, working for a new beginning
The deal we reached with Iran can truly open a new chapter – for Iran, the region and the world. The agreement puts me in charge of following the implementation of the deal, and for this reason I arrived in Tehran today. But my trip is also an opportunity to move to the next stage, and start working for a new beginning in our relations. This is what I said to all my interlocutors, president Hassan Rouhani, foreign minister Javad Zarif and the speaker of the parliament Ali Larijani. I thanked them for the support coming from the Iranian leadership all through the talks' last phase. In my press conference with minister Zarif I focused on four different areas where the deal can open this "new chapter". It is an investment on the Iranian youth, that accounts for almost two thirds of the country's population. It creates an opportunity for renewed relations between Iran and the international community, relations finally based on trust. It opens new spaces of cooperation between Iran and the EU, including on business, when the sanctions will be fully lifted following the implementation of the deal. Finally, the most difficult and perhaps most relevant area: we can support a new dynamic for Middle East affairs, one based on cooperation and not confrontation. This is something I also highlighted in a comment on today's issue of The Guardian. The whole Middle East is in turmoil. Sectarianism is on the rise. We need to restart political processes to end wars. We need to get all regional powers back to the negotiating table and stop the carnage. Cooperation between Iran, its neighbours and...
From the Middle East peace process to Syria: cooperating with the Saudis
It was a long and productive meeting the one I had earlier today with Adel bin Ahmed al Jubeir, the Saudi Arabian Minister for Foreign Affairs. Europe and Saudi Arabia share so many interests at the moment: our cooperation is crucial. I have particularly appreciated our common visions on the Middle East peace process: the European Union believes Saudi Arabia has a key role to play, in particular in reviving the Arab Peace Initiative. We also share a common approach on the need to put an end to the too long-lasting war in Syria, with enormous dramatic humanitarian consequences and also security consequences for the entire region. We have to finally find a way towards a Syrian-led transition: this is central to an effective fight against Da'esh, and I think it is the top priority on both of our agendas. We discussed the reform process in Iraq, and the difficult process to install a national accord government in Libya. But of course we also focused on the deal we reached in Vienna with Iran. It is very important for me, personally, to pass the message that the agreement is strong and solid. It is first of all a nuclear non-proliferation agreement that will guarantee that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon for the next ten to fifteen years. The agreement has to be fully implemented, and I am travelling to Iran tomorrow exactly to start working on the implementation. But the deal could also shape different relations in the whole Middle East, based on cooperation instead of confrontation. And we, as Europeans, will invest all our political capital to try and facilitate the change of paradigm to pass from...
Federica Mogherini speaks to Foreign Minister of Turkey, Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu
High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy/Vice-President of the Commission, Federica Mogherini, had this afternoon a phone call with the Foreign Minister of Turkey, Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu. The High Representative offered EU condolences to the Turkish government and the families of the victims in Suruç and of other recent attacks against police and military officers. She reaffirmed the support for Turkey's efforts to step up on ISIL and to the fight against any form of terrorism. At the same time, Federica Mogherini underlined the fundamental importance of keeping the settlement process with Kurdish people alive and on track. Terrorist groups must not spoil the process and the ceasefire must be preserved. Any action taken should avoid the risk of endangering the ceasefire and the Kurdish peace process that remains the best opportunity in a generation to solve a conflict that has claimed far too many lives. The Turkish government has shown in recent years courage, firm intention and wisdom in bringing forward a political process that is the only means of reaching a stable solution to the conflict, for the sake of all the Turkish people. The EU will keep supporting the government on this...

Bridge-to-Bridge Radio for Unmanned Surface Vehicles
TITLE: Bridge-to-Bridge Radio for Unmanned Surface Vehicles
TECHNOLOGY AREA(S): Ground/Sea Vehicles
ACQUISITION PROGRAM: PMS 406, Unmanned Maritime Systems Program Office.
OBJECTIVE: Create a system that converts VHF Bridge-to-Bridge radio transmissions from voice to text to meaning and integrates them into a COLREGS reasoning engine; and generates an intelligent reply to a proposed maneuver.
DESCRIPTION: The nautical rules of the road (COLREGS) provide clear guidance for encounters between two vessels, but they do not directly specify what should happen when three or more vessels come in close proximity to each other at nearly the same time. Mariners commonly deal with such situations by communicating via VHF Bridge-to-Bridge radio. Current Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) have COLREGS reasoning engines, but they cannot incorporate information from Bridge-to-Bridge conversations, nor can they reply to simple maneuver proposals. Component technologies exist to convert voice signals to text, to convert text to meaning, and to maneuver unmanned vessels to avoid collisions while following COLREGS. The Navy seeks an integrated solution that will enable a USV to act much like a human mariner; in particular, the USV should be able to understand secure Bridge-to-Bridge radio transmissions, incorporate their meaning into its world model, develop appropriate maneuvering plans, and respond via voice on the Bridge-to-Bridge radio. Partial solutions to the problem may be acceptable, though preference will be given to approaches that are comprehensive and achievable.
PHASE I: Provide a concept to solve part of or the entire USV Bridge-to-Bridge radio problem stated in the Description. Demonstrate the feasibility of that concept. Ensure that, at a minimum, the proposed end product includes recognizing common call-ups such as "Sea Hunter, this is Sun Princess; propose a port-to-port passage." Produce English language transmissions from native speakers. Integration with an actual VHF radio is not required in Phase I, but Phase I should include a plan to extend the product in Phase II and beyond, analysis showing viability of that plan, and a proposed approach to Phase II testing.
The Phase I Option, if exercised, will include the initial design specifications and capabilities description to build a prototype solution in Phase II that incorporates an actual VHF radio, extends functionality to mariners who speak English as a second language, and generates English replies to proposed maneuvers.
PHASE II: Build a prototype system for testing and evaluation. Incorporate into the prototype, at a minimum, an actual VHF radio, extend functionality to recognize English spoken by non-native speakers, and generate English replies to proposed maneuvers. Explore additional functionalities if feasible, such as integration with a COLREGS reasoning engine and world model. Ensure that the prototype is delivered at least three months prior to the end of Phase II to facilitate ashore testing followed by at-sea testing. (Note: Phase II testing may be accomplished on a manned surrogate vessel with a stand-alone autonomy system running on a laptop or other computer but not actually controlling the vessel's movements. Phase II testing may also be accomplished on a USV that is temporarily manned for evaluation and safety reasons.) Ensure that the prototype complies with the Unmanned Maritime Autonomy Architecture (UMAA). The Navy will provide UMAA documentation at the beginning of Phase II.
PHASE III DUAL USE APPLICATIONS: Support the Navy in transitioning the technology for Navy use. Produce a final end-to-end system that enables a USV to perform like a human mariner, particularly in its use of the VHF Bridge-to-Bridge radio for negotiating maneuvers in situations involving three or more vessels. The Navy will provide a candidate COLREGS reasoning engine for integration along with an Interface Control Document (ICD) at the beginning of Phase III if needed by the proposer. The Navy expects proposers to support transition to Phase III by integrating into the ICD, supporting additional laboratory and at-sea testing, and developing any required intermediate hardware. This technology will be used in the Medium Unmanned Surface Vehicle (MUSV) program, the Large Unmanned Surface Vehicle (LUSV) program, and possibly other USV programs. This technology will meet critical Navy needs by helping to ensure safe USV navigation in compliance with COLREGS. The product will be validated and tested through extensive laboratory trials followed by more limited at-sea trials.
The civilian market for unmanned vessels appears poised for take-off, and such vessels will need to be able to function even when satellite links to remote oversight facilities ashore are inoperative. Additionally, this technology can be used on minimally manned vessels and pleasure craft as an aid to a human operator.

Are you ready to roll up your sleeves and get to work my friends? Today, we kick off the Organize & Refine your Home Challenge!
We'll start by laying down a solid foundation during the month of January. During the next four weeks, we'll be doing some decluttering prep work, nailing down our planning tools, and establishing 2 central organizational zones in our home.
Since much of the work involved with this Challenge involves decluttering spaces in your home, our first order of business is to complete the decluttering prep work.
Create a decluttering kit by gathering 5-6 containers that you'll use consistently for sorting items. My preference is to use laundry baskets, but you can use regular cardboard boxes, bankers boxes, or plastic storage tubs.
Your decluttering kit should also include a set of signs for each of the main sorting categories (Keep, Relocate, Donate, Sell, Trash, Shred, & Recycle). Check out my Decluttering Tool Kit, which contains a set of signs that you can download and use during your decluttering sessions (as well as several other useful resources for decluttering. If you have access to a laminating machine, it's a good idea to laminate the signs so that you can easily reuse them.
When you come across an item in your home that you no longer use or want, where does it go? Every household needs a designated holding place for these "discards". If you don't already have a designated place, one of your tasks this week is to set up at least one Donation Station in your home. Some people like to have a box or bin on each floor of their home, while others can get by with one bin. Really, the term donation station is a bit of a misnomer, because you may decide to sell or trash some of these items. I like to use the name because it rhymes, but really it's for tossing anything that you plan to remove from your home!
We have donation stations set up in our master closet and in kids' closets since we're constantly purging clothing and shoes.
We also have a donation station for general household stuff set up in the corner of our guest room.
Eventually, your donation station bins will be full and you'll need to empty them out. If everything is earmarked for donation, then it's a simple matter of making a run to the donation center of your choice. If you are planning to sell some of the items in a garage sale, consignment store, or online, you may need a more long-term place to store these items until it's time to sell.
I'm planning to participate in our neighborhood yard sale in May, and I'm setting aside these holiday decorations in my staging area to sell in the yard sale.
My staging area for sellable stuff is located in a corner of my basement storage room. If you don't already have a long-term staging area for sellable items (and you anticipate selling at least some of your discarded items), add this task to your To Do list this week.
In my work as a professional organizer, I often found that clients were much more willing to let go of items when they knew they were going to someone who could use the item (and not going into a landfill!). There are countless options for donating, selling, and recycling the stuff you no longer use or love.
You may already have a favorite local donation drop off site, such as Goodwill, The Salvation Army, or Habitat Restore. If not, use Donation Town to access an online nationwide directory of local charities who will pick up your donated items for free.
There are also non-profit organizations that take specific "niche" donations or that benefit a particular group in need (check out this amazingly comprehensive list of these organizations). Sometimes your donated items can do more good when you use one of these options.
Is selling worth the effort and time?
My organizing colleague Darla DeMorrow of Heartwork Organizing wrote a thought-provoking post that breaks down the economics of selling vs. donating (it may sway your decision).
Options for selling include: Ebay, Craigslist, thredUP, Swap.com, local Facebook buy/sell/trade groups, and consignment stores. There are also plenty of online sites that buy used electronic devices such as Gazelle, Nextworth and USell.
My local community publishes an annual Recycling and Reuse Guide that's an amazing resource for decluttering. It contains a list of all of the local consignment stores and donation centers. It also tells you where to recycle just about anything (old t.v.'s, hazardous waste materials, building materials, etc.). Take a moment this week to see if your community offers a similar resource. It will come in very handy this year!
Super cute bench. Is it in a closet or entry?

A watershed moment for the water industry?
Tessa Harding, director of water at Thomson Environmental Consultants, discusses the government's Environment Bill.
Reaching net carbon zero
NI Water: A climate emergency gamechanger
Much rests on the ambitions of this environmental legislation as the government seeks to establish its credentials in the face of imminent EU withdrawal and the Extinction Rebellion protests. The scope is certainly wide ranging, with some key elements including establishment of the Office for Environmental Protection (Part 1) and the requirement on developers to undertake a biodiversity net gain assessment as a condition of planning consent (Part 6). My focus in this article will be to provide a rapid review of Part 5 of the Bill relating to the water sector and consider its implications.
Changes to abstraction licenses
The Bill strengthens Ofwat's powers in a number of key areas including making changes to abstraction licences where it considers that 'environmental objectives' are not being met, or where abstractors are consistently abstracting less than their licensed volumes. The Environment Agency has been reducing the number of permanent abstraction licences for several decades via their Restoring Sustainable Abstraction programme in catchments where abstraction threatens waterbody status. The Bill adds to and strengthens existing powers under the Water Act to vary and revoke permanent licences without compensation in England (but not in Wales).
Under Clause 78 of the Bill, permanent licences can now be varied or revoked 'where change is needed to protect the environment or remove excess headroom'[1]. Excess headroom is defined as 25 per cent of the licensed volume. Specifically, compensation will not be paid if this volume remains unused for a period of 12 years prior to the date when the Environment Agency makes a proposal to revoke or vary the licence.
This provision extends the regulator's existing powers under section 27 of the Water Act 2003 which allows revocation of licenses only in cases where 'serious damage' is considered likely. No action will be taken in relation to permanent licences until 1 January 2028 in order to allow Defra's catchment based approach to abstraction, set out in its Water Abstraction Plan, to establish and gain traction.
Partnership working for the water industry
A new provision under the Bill (Part 39E) allows 'joint proposals' to be used by water undertakers to meet environmental objectives. Ofwat has also been given powers to direct water companies to work together where plans are not already in place. Strategic water transfer schemes are already an important alternative to drought permits and drought orders for several water companies, particularly in the South East.
The potential negative impacts of catchment transfer schemes have been explored in Environmental Impact Assessments for schemes such as the Severn Thames catchment transfer project. The spread of fish pathogens and invasive species, and alterations in the water chemistry of the receiving waterbody are key concerns. The Bill provides no specific provision for environmental safeguards in relation to water transfer schemes, although the requirements under the Water Environment (Water Framework Directive) (England and Wales) Regulations 2017 for waterbodies to achieve good ecological status remain.
Changes to water abstraction licensing
In future, water abstraction licensing will no longer fall under the Water Resources Act 1991 and will be granted through the Environmental Permitting Regulations 2016 which currently cover air quality and flood defence. The purpose of this change is to streamline the permitting process allowing operators with multiple consents to operate under a single consolidated permit. The Bill introduces changes to the way applications are made in order to facilitate this change. Permit applications will be made and amended online, and abstractors will have access to water availability data with the aim of "providing better protection at low flows and allowing better access to high flows,"[2]. The Government intends to launch a consultation on these changes in early 2020[3].
Regulation of water quality via Environmental Quality Standards (EQSs) will remain but the Bill will allow the Secretary of State to remove or add substances, and to modify EQSs thus allowing UK domestic control of regulations previously under EU control via the EQS Directive.
New assessments of sewerage demand required
In relation to wastewater, companies must now prepare sewerage management plans which demonstrate how their area will be 'effectually drained'. The plan comprises an assessment of the current and future sewerage demand, and, critically in relation to climate change, the future resilience of the system.
This Bill aims to give life to the 25-year Environment Plan, published in 2018, which sets out the Government's goals in relation to protection of biodiversity, and air and water quality. For the water industry, the focus on partnership approaches to strategic water transfer schemes via joint proposals will broaden the range of options for future water supply schemes. The extent to which changes to the role of the regulator will improve governance within the industry is less certain and may depend on the direction of future policy statements.

Did TikTok teens, K-Pop fans punk Trump's comeback rally?
Did teens, TikTok users and Korean pop music fans troll the president of the United States
By BARBARA ORTUTAYAssociated Press

OAKLAND, Calif. — Did teens, TikTok users and Korean pop music fans troll the president of the United States?
For more than a week before Donald Trump's first campaign rally in Tulsa on Saturday night, these tech-savvy groups opposing the president mobilized to reserve tickets for the rally they had no intention of attending. While it's not likely that they were responsible for the low turnout, their antics may have inflated the campaign's expectations for attendance numbers that lead to Saturday's disappointing show.
"My 16 year old daughter and her friends in Park City Utah have hundreds of tickets. You have been rolled by America's teens," tweeted veteran Republican campaign strategist Steve Schmidt on Saturday. The tweet garnered more than 100,000 likes and many responses from others whose kids or who themselves said they did the same.
Reached by telephone Sunday, Schmidt called the rally an "unmitigated disaster" – days after Trump campaign chairman Brad Parscale tweeted that more than a million people requested tickets for the rally through Trump's campaign website.
Biden spokesman Andrew Bates said the turnout was a sign of weakening voter support. "Donald Trump has abdicated leadership and it is no surprise that his supporters have responded by abandoning him," he said.
In a statement, the Trump campaign blamed "fake news media" for "warning people away from the rally" due to COVID-19 and protests against racial injustice around the country.
"Leftists and online trolls doing a victory lap, thinking they somehow impacted rally attendance, don't know what they're talking about or how our rallies work," Parscale wrote. "Reporters who wrote gleefully about TikTok and K-Pop fans – without contacting the campaign for comment – behaved unprofessionally and were willing dupes to the charade."

On midday Sunday, it was possible to sign up for a livestream a Tulsa "Team Trump on Tour"event later in the day through Trump' website. It asked for a name, email address and a phone number. There was no age verification in the signup process, though the site required a pin to verify phone numbers.
Inside the 19,000-seat BOK Center in Tulsa Saturday, when Trump thundered that "the silent majority is stronger than ever before," numerous seats were empty. Tulsa Fire Department spokesperson Andy Little said the city fire marshal's office reported a crowd of just less than 6,200 in the arena.
City officials had expected a crowd of 100,000 people or more in downtown Tulsa but that never materialized. That said the rally, which was broadcast on cable, also targeted voters in battleground states such as Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Florida.
Social media users who've followed recent events might not be surprised by the way young people (and some older folks) mobilized to troll the president. They did it not just on TikTok but on Twitter, Instagram and even Facebook. K-pop fans – who have a massive, coordinated online community and a cutting sense of humor – have become an unexpected ally to American Black Lives Matter protesters.
In recent weeks, they've been re-purposing their usual platforms and hashtags from boosting their favorite stars to backing the Black Lives Matter movement. They flooded right-wing hashtags such as "white lives matter"and police apps with short video clips and memes of their K-pop stars. Many of the early social media messages urging people to sign up for tickets brought up the fact that the rally had originally been scheduled for Friday, June 19. The date is known as Juneteenth because it marks the end of slavery in the United States. Tulsa, the location for the rally, was the scene in 1921 of one of the most severe white-on-Black attacks in American history.
Schmidt said he was not surprised. Today's teens, after all, grew up with phones and have "absolutely" mastered them. They are also the first generation to have remote Zoom classes and have a "subversive sense of humor," having come of age in a world of online trolls and memes. Most of all, "they are aware of what is happening around them," he said.
"Like salmon in the river they participate politically through the methods and means of their lives," Schmidt added.

That said, the original idea for the mass ticket troll may have come not from a teen but an Iowa grandma. The politics site Iowa Starting Line found that a TikTok video posted on June 11 by Mary Jo Laupp, a 51-year-old grandmother from Fort Dodge, Iowa, suggesting that people book free tickets "make sure there are empty seats." Laupp's video, which also tells viewers how to stop receiving texts from the Trump campaign after they provide their phone number (simply text "STOP"), has had more than 700,000 likes. It was also possible to sign up for the rally using a fake or temporary phone number from Google Voice, for instance.
As Parscale himself pointed out in a June 14 tweet, though, the ticket signups were not simply about getting bodies to the rally. He called it the "Biggest data haul and rally signup of all time by 10x" – meaning the hundreds of thousands emails and phone numbers the campaign now has in its possession to use for microtargeting advertisements and reach potential voters.
Sure, it's possible that many of the emails are fake and that the ticket holders have no intention of voting for Trump in November. But while it's possible that this "bad data" might prove useless – or even hurt the Trump campaign in some way, experts say there is one clear beneficiary in the end, and that is Facebook. That's due to the complex, murky ways in which Trump's political advertising machine is tied up with the social media giant. Facebook wants data on people, and whether that is "good" or "bad" it will be used to train its systems.
"No matter who signs up or if they go to a rally, Trump gets data to train retargeting on Facebook. FB's system will use that data in ways that have nothing to do with Trump," tweeted Georgia Tech communications professor Ian Bogost. "Might these fake' signups mess up the Trump team's targeting data? Maybe it could, to some extent. But the entire system is so vast and incomprehensible, we'll never really know."

Q: passport-local does not pass message Error happens here (!user==true):
if (!user) {
        console.log('---2');
        return done(null, false, {message: 'Incorrect username.'});
    }

Router config:
router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
      console.log('Message:'+req.flash('message'));
      res.render('index', { title: 'Title', message: req.flash('message') });
    });

router.post('/login', passport.authenticate('local', {
        successRedirect: '/users/home',
        failureRedirect: '/',
        failureFlash: true
    }));

Console log shows, that message arrives empty. But message comes perfectly from another function (captcha check, using the same req.flash). Passport config:
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(cookieParser());
...
app.use(expressSession({secret: 'mySecretKey', resave: true, saveUninitialized: true }));
app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(passport.session());
app.use(flash());

var initPassport = require('./bin/auth/init-passport');
initPassport(passport);

A: What a stupid mistake, never trust tutorials, always read docs... Passport passes messages via error property, not message property, so addition to Jade template are:
if error!=''
    div.form-group.alert.alert-danger
        p #{error}

Correction in routes:
res.render('index', {
    title: 'Title',
    message: req.flash('message'),
    error: req.flash('error')
});

Be also careful with success message - it is returned also via special property, success.

As co-founder and producer of Songó, we had the chance to sync some of the tracks that I had written with Mario Orías for the second and third season of ¨Sin Tetas no hay Paraíso¨, a Colombian TV soap opera adapted for a Spanish version, produced by Grundy in collaboration with the channel Tele 5 in Spain. It was a great opportunity to include some our funk and disco funk tracks in such a popular TV show.
We also had the amazing opportunity to work during a shoot of the TV show, performing our song ¨Disconnection¨. In the Madrid summer heat we played it for hours on set, a demanding but thrilling experience! The song was performed by Songó during an episode in which ¨El Duque¨, the main character plans to murder ¨Catalina¨ the other main character. The episode received more than 4.000.000 viewers.
The song was discovered by Sony BMG Music who included the track in the TV show's original sound track, released in November, 2008.
