In the Nextflow framework architecture, the executor is the component that determines the system where a pipeline process is run and supervises its execution.
The executor provides an abstraction between the pipeline processes and the underlying execution system. This allows you to write the pipeline functional logic independently from the actual processing platform.
In other words you can write your pipeline script once and have it running on your computer, a cluster resource manager or the cloud by simply changing the executor definition in the Nextflow configuration file.
The local executor is used by default. It runs the pipeline processes in the computer where Nextflow is launched. The processes are parallelised by spawning multiple threads and by taking advantage of multi-cores architecture provided by the CPU.
In a common usage scenario, the local executor can be useful to develop and test your pipeline script in your computer, switching to a cluster facility when you need to run it on production data.
The SGE executor allows you to run your pipeline script by using a Sun Grid Engine cluster or a compatible platform (Open Grid Engine, Univa Grid Engine, etc).
Nextflow manages each process as a separate grid job that is submitted to the cluster by using the qsub command.
Being so, the pipeline must be launched from a node where the qsub command is available, that is, in a common usage scenario, the cluster head node.
To enable the SGE executor simply set to process.executor property to sge value in the nextflow.config file.
The LSF executor allows you to run your pipeline script by using a Platform LSF cluster.
Nextflow manages each process as a separate job that is submitted to the cluster by using the bsub command.
Being so, the pipeline must be launched from a node where the bsub command is available, that is, in a common usage scenario, the cluster head node.
To enable the LSF executor simply set to process.executor property to lsf value in the nextflow.config file.
LSF supports both per-core and per-job memory limit. Nextflow assumes that LSF works in the per-core memory limits mode, thus it divides the requested memory by the number of requested cpus.
This is not required when LSF is configured to work in per-job memory limit mode. You will need to specified that adding the option perJobMemLimit in Scope executor in the Nextflow configuration file.
See also the Platform LSF documentation.
The SLURM executor allows you to run your pipeline script by using the SLURM resource manager.
Nextflow manages each process as a separate job that is submitted to the cluster by using the sbatch command.
Being so, the pipeline must be launched from a node where the sbatch command is available, that is, in a common usage scenario, the cluster head node.
To enable the SLURM executor simply set to process.executor property to slurm value in the nextflow.config file.
SLURM partitions can be considered jobs queues. Nextflow allows to set partitions by using the above queue directive.
Nextflow does not provide a direct support for SLURM multi-clusters feature. If you need to submit workflow executions to a cluster that is not the current one, specify it setting the SLURM_CLUSTERS variable in the launching environment.
The PBS executor allows you to run your pipeline script by using a resource manager belonging to the PBS/Torque family of batch schedulers.
Nextflow manages each process as a separate job that is submitted to the cluster by using the qsub command provided by the scheduler.
Being so, the pipeline must be launched from a node where the qsub command is available, that is, in a common usage scenario, the cluster login node.
To enable the PBS executor simply set the property process.executor = 'pbs' in the nextflow.config file.
The NQSII executor allows you to run your pipeline script by using the NQSII resource manager.
To enable the NQSII executor simply set the property process.executor = 'nqsii' in the nextflow.config file.
The HTCondor executor allows you to run your pipeline script by using the HTCondor resource manager.
This is an incubating feature. It may change in future Nextflow releases.
Nextflow manages each process as a separate job that is submitted to the cluster by using the condor_submit command.
Being so, the pipeline must be launched from a node where the condor_submit command is available, that is, in a common usage scenario, the cluster head node.
To enable the HTCondor executor simply set to process.executor property to condor value in the nextflow.config file.
The Ignite executor allows you to run a pipeline by using the Apache Ignite clustering technology that is embedded with the Nextflow runtime.
To enable this executor set the property process.executor = 'ignite' in the nextflow.config file.
Read the Apache Ignite section in this documentation to learn how to configure Nextflow to deploy and run an Ignite cluster in your infrastructure.
Nextflow provides an experimental support for Kubernetes clustering technology. It allows you to deploy and transparently run a Nextflow pipeline in a Kubernetes cluster.
See the Kubernetes documentation to learn how to deploy a workflow execution in a Kubernetes cluster.
Nextflow supports AWS Batch service which allows submitting jobs in the cloud without having to spin out and manage a cluster of virtual machines. AWS Batch uses Docker containers to run tasks, which makes deploying pipelines much simpler.
The pipeline processes must specify the Docker image to use by defining the container directive, either in the pipeline script or the nextflow.config file.
To enable this executor set the property process.executor = 'awsbatch' in the nextflow.config file.
The pipeline can be launched either in a local computer or a EC2 instance. The latter is suggested for heavy or long running workloads. Moreover a S3 bucket must be used as pipeline work directory.
See the AWS Batch page for further configuration details.
Genomics Pipelines is a managed computing service that allows the execution of containerized workloads in the Google Cloud Platform infrastructure.
Nextflow provides built-in support for Genomics Pipelines API which allows the seamless deployment of a Nextflow pipeline in the cloud, offloading the process executions as pipelines (it requires Nextflow 19.1.0 or later).
The pipeline processes must specify the Docker image to use by defining the container directive, either in the pipeline script or the nextflow.config file. Moreover the pipeline work directory must be located in a Google Storage bucket.
To enable this executor set the property process.executor = 'google-pipelines' in the nextflow.config file.
See the Google Pipelines page for further configuration details.
This is an experimental feature and it may change in a future release. It requires Nextflow version 0.31.0 or later.
The Task Execution Schema (TES) project by the GA4GH standardisation initiative is an effort to define a standardized schema and API for describing batch execution tasks in portable manner.
Nextflow includes an experimental support for the TES API providing a tes executor which allows the submission of workflow tasks to a remote execution back-end exposing a TES API endpoint.
If the variable NXF_EXECUTOR_TES_ENDPOINT is omitted the default endpoint is http://localhost:8000.
Make sure the TES back-end can access the workflow work directory when data is exchanged using a local or shared file system.
Automatic deployment of workflow scripts in the bin folder is not supported.
Process output directories are not supported. For details see #76.
Glob patterns in process output declarations are not supported. For details see #77.

Back to leprosy champions
Armando, an innovative farm owner
Armando uses the latest training and farming methods to develop crops even in difficult environments
Armando is a 59 year old father living in Mozambique.
Armando worked hard to support and care for his family.
Armando spent his life selling his handmade weaving products and hunting wild animals all while raising his five children alongside his wife. He earned enough income to enjoy a happy life with his family, send his children to school, and eat a nutritious and balanced diet.
Armando's life drastically changed in 2010.
In 2010, Armando tragically lost his wife and three of their children to disease. Suffering under the weight of grief, he found himself in a deep depression. Soon after, Armando's living children married and moved into their own homes, leaving him alone. It was around the same time that Armando learned of his own illness, leprosy. Since those affected by leprosy often suffer from ulcers and injuries from nerve damage, they can be vulnerable to food insecurity due to reduced mobility and negative social attitudes. Armando was forced to rely on the care of his daughter to bring him a meal once a day as his illness progressed.
Through Food for the Hungry, Armando's life has been transformed for the better.
In November 2016, Food for the Hungry began working with Armando through a programme aimed to improve livelihoods and food security for vulnerable people, including those affected by leprosy in rural Mozambique. Since joining the program, Armando's life has been transformed. He began to feel like his life mattered and that he was empowered to earn an income for himself. Through the apprenticeships he had in the agriculture group, Armando opened his own farm where he has implemented the conservation techniques that he learned and now produces cassava, sesame, cowpea, pigeon pea, and peanuts.
Armando found a community that supports and accepts him.
Armando has forged an invaluable community that supports him and helps him with his farm when he's too ill to complete his daily activities. He feels that the stigma around his disease is changing and more people are welcoming of him. Armando even participates in a local savings group where he can borrow money for the care he needs and has helpful technicians who care for him. Armando says, "I have learned that in life everyday is important, and we can't fall into depression when we can still do something to change our lives. Besides, now I feel like a man because I can, with my own condition, produce something valuable for my life."

According to Matt Dobson with the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), log homes do offer greater protection from the elements and natural disasters. Dobson says these structures are typically over-engineered and better capable of withstanding natural disasters. He believes that with proper maintenance and treatment, log homes last longer than conventional homes.
THE National Bureau of Standards and Technology erected test structures and recorded their energy consumption, their findings were amazing. They found that over a 3 week spring heating period, a log structure used 46% less energy than the same sized insulated wood-frame structure; during the 11 week summer period, the log structure used 24% less cooling energy than the insulated wood frame structure; and during the 14 week winter period; the log structure used 15% less than the insulated wood-frame structure.
There is often confusion about the energy efficiency of log homes as compared to traditional stick-built homes.
There are two primary factors that determine the ability of a wall to be an effective barrier to temperature differences. One is "R-Value," which is a numerical measure of a material's resistance to heat flow over a defined thickness of that material. Second is "thermal mass," which is a measure of a material's ability to store heat and thereby delay heat flow. Traditional Insulated Frame Walls Conventional framed walls typically use fiberglass insulation and have an R-value of about R-13 to R-19. Fiberglass is a good, lightweight insulating material which traps air within its fibers and is therefore a poor conductor of heat. It, however, has very low mass and does not store heat.
Log walls are dense and heavyweight, making them poorer insulators of heat than air-filled fiberglass walls. In fact, a log wall the same thickness as an insulated wall (about 6-7 inches) would only have an R-value of about R-9. However, the high density of solid wood also creates an important "mass effect." Instead of heat being conducted through a log wall, as the lower R-value might suggest, the heat is actually stored in the logs and significantly delayed in its release. This allows, for example, high outside temperatures to be effectively blocked and stored during the hottest part of the day, and released during the cooler night. In winter, heat from the inside of your home is stored in the logs and released back during the colder night. In effect, thermal mass tends to even out large temperature changes. This interesting phenomenon is often referred to as "thermal capacitance."
Because of thermal mass benefits, log homes, can be 2.5% - 15% more energy efficient than comparable stick-built homes, according to the National Association of Home Builders, Log Homes Council. Assuming other parts of the home, such as roof, floors, windows, and doors, are similarly insulated, log homes can cost significantly less to heat and cool. Many log homes in cold climates are heated with nothing other than a single fireplace or stove. Note: No home, no matter the type of construction is energy efficient if poor construction methods are used.
This style is known for its beauty, strength, and efficiency. The saddle notched corner system is aesthetically pleasing, and locks the two walls in a corner together. Log sizes are milled in a range from 6 to 16 inches in diameter. Offered by Ernest Smith with Abode Real Estate Equal housing opportunity.

Directors & Boards / Three CIO Communication Mistakes
What boards should focus on when working with tech leaders.
The dialogue between corporate chief information officers and the boards of directors can be both enlightening and frustrating — often at the same time. The two of us have seen many boardroom discussions from both sides of the table and while the results can be positive and supportive, too often the discourse breaks down over the incompatible languages of technology and governance.
Adding to this problem, corporate board members typically ask their CIOs the wrong questions. This leads to wrong answers, wrong assumptions and — most likely — wrong actions. Here are the top three mistakes board members make when it comes to communicating with CIOs — and how they can do it right.
1. Prioritizing the latest tech trends — artificial intelligence (AI), internet of things, big data, the cloud — and not what "keeps the lights on."
Corporate board members, like most high-level business execs, stay informed on the latest trends in information technology (IT). They realize this technology is advancing at incredible speed, and will bring huge changes and opportunities to business. But the board also tends to be dazzled by the latest buzzwords and tech concepts, often at the expense of some of the basics, such as the core network infrastructure and systems needed to support new technologies.
"Digital transformation" is as exciting as it sounds, but the CIO (and board) need to also focus on the homely, hard-working enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems that keep the lights on.
Supply chains, customer relations, sales and human resources may not be sexy. However, these ERP elements are crucial to any modern enterprise. They typically gobble up 70% or more of the IT budget, and much of any CIO's time and energy. ERP systems may also be an aging patchwork, and appropriate budgets must be allocated to keep these systems current which can also contribute to protecting from cyber vulnerability. A modern high-performing "digital ERP core" makes it easier, quicker and more cost effective to connect and deploy new sought-after technologies.
IT, data and digital business issues have multiplied to cover a huge number of disciplines. These include purchasing, strategic planning, marketing, compliance, logistics, customer relations — and on and on. Often, CIOs have these responsibilities dumped into their laps, without the budget, staff or authority to properly handle them. Even worse, many companies forge ahead building and selling exciting new digital products and services without involving the CIO, often resulting in non-compliant, insecure products that don't work well, are difficult to upgrade, and ultimately disappoint customers and expose the company to cyberattacks. A smart board move to deal with this is to ask management for a top-down assessment and scoping of company digital responsibilities.
2. Asking, "Are we secure from hackers?"
In this board question, almost every word requires clarification. First, when it comes to IT and system protection, the word "secure" is like using the term "unsinkable" about a ship — the idea itself tempts fate. The CIO and chief information security officer are instead in an endless competition between best practices for protection versus best practices for hacking (with hackers aided by worst practice sloppiness among company executives and other users). Securing systems is thus not a destination, but a journey. Better to ask what is being done to secure data (don't merely ask how much is being spent on data security), and what actions will be undertaken when a breach occurs.
For example, ask what's being done to uncover current break-ins? (At the enterprise level, it's often 18 months or more before a break-in is even discovered). Where are the most vulnerable system access points? (Boards are often satisfied with protections at company HQ. But hackers know it's easiest to tap in at far-flung, less-sophisticated company nodes in places like Latin America, Africa or Eastern Europe, or through third-party vendors). What outside resources are used to test and monitor security? (External cyber monitoring, "ethical hackers," newer AI testing platforms, etc.) Ask instead for crisis management plan details in the event of a breach, because surely it will happen. It's how quickly, decisively and effectively "pre-agreed" actions will be executed that will make a difference between the winners and losers when it comes to break-ins.
3. Staying silent regarding the potential damages from a hacking or data incident.
If boards don't like discussing bad news with CIOs, they surely won't ask about potential worst-case scenarios. Yet they must, because the health and possibly the very future of the company depend on it.
The numbers should gain board attention — $148 million in losses from the 2014 Target retail stores hack. The data breach at Equifax brought a preliminary loss of over $80 million (and a $4 billion hit to its stock price). Last summer's NotPetya virus attack set FedEx back $300 million. Uber is one of many companies that faced a ransomware attack. It cost them "only" $100,000, but opened them up to heavy legal and, more importantly, reputational "brand" cost claims. The WannaCry outbreak impacted computers in over 150 countries. Damages ranged from not being able to print pallet labels in factories to complete or partial operations shutdowns for days and even weeks at other companies. Think, "What would this cost me and my company?"
This legal and disclosure fallout could soon make the direct losses from digital mischief seem minor. The European Union's new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) sets very tough standards for company data security, privacy and handling. Companies found noncompliant can face fines of up to 20 million Euros or 4% of the company's group worldwide turnover (whichever is greater) when data breaches occur. And these standards can reach out to touch firms not based in Europe as well. A lessor fine of 2% of turnover (or 10 million Euros) can be imposed for merely failing to implement measures to ensure privacy when designing new systems or for failure to report breaches.
We've seen this delicate dance when it comes to discussion between boards and the CIO. Both sides have powerful incentives to wish IT problems away. CIOs get rewarded for saying everything is fine. For directors, this is just the response they'd like to hear, and they can safely then move on to the next agenda item.
But as every business is now a digital business, there is no more room for boardroom evasion. Board members have a fiduciary duty to ensure that the company's digital profile is safe, strategic and effective. And CIOs have a duty to keep them asking the right questions.

Q: Overloading operator for default type in template How can i overload operator in template class for every type expect- for example int and char.
    Point<char> operator+ (Point<char> const& sec){
        Point<char> tmp(x+2, y+3);
        return tmp;
    }

    Point<int> operator+ (Point<int> const& sec){
        Point<int> tmp(x+sec.x + 1, y+sec.y + 1);
        return tmp;
    }

    Point<T> operator+ (Point<T> const& sec){
        return Point<T>(x+sec.x, y+sec.y);
    }

Something like this doesn't work. I can overload for specific types OR for T, but can't combine both.

A: You can explicitly specialize outside the class, like so (minimal example):
#include <iostream>

template<class T>
struct Point
{
    Point operator+(Point rhs)
    {
        std::cout << "Generic\n";
        return rhs;
    }
};

template<>
Point<char> Point<char>::operator+(Point<char> rhs)
{
    std::cout << "char\n";
    return rhs;
}

template<>
Point<int> Point<int>::operator+(Point<int> rhs)
{
    std::cout << "int\n";
    return rhs;
}

int main()
{
    Point<double> p;
    Point<int> i;
    Point<char> c;

    p + p;
    i + i;
    c + c;
}

Live on Coliru

A: You can add an if statement like
if(std::is_same<T, int>::value) {...}
else if(std::is_same<T, char>::value) {...}
else {...}

Write this inside the code for Point operator+(){}.
I have never implemented this, but I think you can make it work.
I don't know if an operator can be overloaded the way you want, but you can try this.

A: To explicitly specialize a member you need its surrounding class template to be explicitly specialized as well. In your case you can use friends:
template <class T>
class Point {
public:
    Point(T x, T y) : x(x), y(y) {}

private:
    T x, y;

    friend Point<char> operator+ (Point<char> const& a, Point<char> const& b);
    friend Point<int> operator+ (Point<int> const& a, Point<int> const& b);
    template<class T>
    friend Point<T> operator+ (Point<T> const& a, Point<T> const& b);
    template<class T>
    friend Point<T*> operator+ (Point<T*> const& a, Point<T*> const& b);
};

Point<char> operator+ (Point<char> const& a, Point<char> const& b) {
    std::cout << "overload for char" << std::endl;
    return a;
}

Point<int> operator+ (Point<int> const& a, Point<int> const& b) {
    std::cout << "overload for int" << std::endl;
    return a;
}

template <class T>
Point<T> operator+ (Point<T> const& a, Point<T> const&) {
    std::cout << "overload for other non-pointers type" << std::endl;
    return a;
}

// you can even provide overload for pointers
template <class T>
Point<T*> operator+ (Point<T*> const& a, Point<T*> const&) {
    std::cout << "overload for pointers" << std::endl;
    return a;
}

int main() {

    Point<int> p1(1,1);
    p1 + p1;
    Point<char> p2(1, 1);
    p2 + p2;
    Point<long long> p3(1, 1);
    p3 + p3;

    int i[2];
    Point<int*> p4(i, i+1);
    p4 + p4;

    return 0;
}

overload for int
  overload for char
  overload for other non-pointer types
  overload for pointers

GLONASS(GLObal'naya NAvigatsionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema; "GLObal NAvigation Satellite System" in English) is a radio-based satellite navigation system, developed by the former Soviet Union and now operated for the Russian government by the Russian Space Forces. It is an alternative and complementary to the United States' Global Positioning System (GPS), the Chinese COMPASS Navigation System, and the planned Galileo positioning system of the European Union (EU).
Development on the GLONASS began in 1976, with a goal of global coverage by 1991. Beginning on 12 October 1982, numerous rocket launches added satellites to the system until the constellation was completed in 1995. Following completion, the system rapidly fell into disrepair with the collapse of the Russian economy. Beginning in 2001, Russia committed to restoring the system, and in recent years has diversified, introducing the Indian government as a partner, and accelerated the program with a goal of restoring global coverage by 2009.
GLONASS was developed to provide real-time position and velocity determination, initially for use by the Soviet military for navigation and ballistic missile targeting. It was the Soviet Union's second generation satellite navigation system, improving on the Tsikada system which required one to two hours of signal processing to calculate a location with high accuracy. By contrast, once a GLONASS receiver is tracking the satellite signals, a position fix is available instantly. It is stated that at peak efficiency the system's standard positioning and timing service provide horizontal positioning accuracy within 57–70 meters, vertical positioning within 70 meters, velocity vector measuring within 15 cm/s, and time transfer within 1 µs (all within 99.7% probability).

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic continuous or intermittent gastrointestinal tract dysfunction encountered by the health professionals. IBS patients are afflicted with intestinal and extraintestinal somatic morbidities. The aim of the present case study was to explore the effect of osteopathic treatment (OT) on somatic comorbidities in IBS patients. The author reported a 43-year-old female case who presented with a headache, abdominal pain, pain in the one-half of the body, lower back pain, increased the frequency of stool passage in a day, with alternating diarrhea or constipation, bloating; with few occasions of nausea and vomiting. The patient had history of 3-year-old hysterectomy and with no other relevant medical history. On endoscopic, colonoscopy, and blood investigations, no abnormality was detected. In this case, the osteopathic diagnosis was made as visceral somatic dysfunction and the OT made the remarkable difference in the patient symptoms as assessed by bowel symptom scale.

You want the latest cable system, but you don't want to sacrifice your old television in the process. This scenario can be frustrating. Unfortunately for consumers, the older television sets don't have the necessary inputs to include a cable box or cable system.
How to Connect a Converter Box to a TV by Ann Mapleridge Since the digital conversion in the United States, analog televisions require a built-in digital tuner or an external digital converter box in order to be used to watch over-the-air television.
Activate Self-Install TV Equipment; Self-Install allows you to quickly and easily set up and activate new Shaw TV equipment. Once your Digital Box is setup, it will need to be activated so your channel package and PPV/On Demand will work.

Parkwood Estate National Historic Site
Parkwood is one of Canada's finest and last remaining grand estates, featuring architectural, landscape and interior designs of the 1920's and 1930's. Once home to auto baron R. Samuel McLaughlin (founder of General Motors of Canada), Parkwood is praised by Canada's Historic Site and Monuments Board as 'a rare surviving example of the type of estate developed in Canada during the inter-war years, and is rarer still by its essentially intact condition, furnished and run to illustrate as it was lived within.' Parkwood was the family home of the McLaughlins from 1917 until 1972. The majestic estate that was once a private enclave to be experienced by a select few is now a National Historic Site, open year-round to be enjoyed by all. The large property still retains its original essence as the private abode of a prominent Canadian family, reflecting not only the personal interests and tastes of its owner, but also five remarkable decades in history as Canada and the world embraced both the automobile and 20th century technology.

Second-year head coach David Olson was asked to step down from his position this week after the Vista Murrieta High School football team's first losing season since 2005.
Vista Murrieta was just 4-7 this season, losing five of its first six games. The Broncos posted a 3-2 league record to make the CIF playoffs but lost in the first round to Mater Dei for the second straight season, 49-7.
"I respect David's passion for the game and I am grateful for his efforts and commitment to his players and the program," said Vista Murrieta principal Mick Wager. "However, at this point, we believe it is in the best interest of the program to seek a change in leadership for the football program."
District Assistant Superintendent of Human Recourses Darren Daniel said, "We expect to see a highly competitive pool of candidates for this exciting opportunity."
Under Coley Candaele, who is now the school's athletic director, Vista Murrieta was 132-25, including a CIF championship in 2011 and finishing as runner-up in 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015.


The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") announced today that, on December 2, 1999, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland entered a Final Judgment and Order against Brent Molovinsky ("Molovinsky"), the former president and chairman of the board of TVI Corporation ("TVI"), a publicly held military defense contractor headquartered in Beltsville, Maryland. Entry of the judgment serves to settle the Commission's case against Molovinsky.
Without admitting or denying the Commission's allegations, Molovinsky consented to the entry of the judgment which permanently enjoins him from violating Sections 5(a), 5(c) and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The judgment also requires Molovinsky to pay disgorgement and prejudgment interest, but waives payment of these amounts and does not impose a civil penalty based on his demonstrated inability to pay. In addition, the judgment bars Molovinsky from acting as an officer or director of any public company.
The Commission alleged that, between October 1992 and April 1995, Molovinsky, who had exclusive control over TVI's day-to-day operations and finances, engaged in a scheme in which he misappropriated more than $1 million of investor proceeds raised from the sale of over $2.9 million of TVI stock to at least 699 investors. The stock was to be offered and sold to existing TVI investors and creditors pursuant to a court-approved plan of reorganization, and was to be subject to a provision in the United States Bankruptcy Code exempting such sales from registration.
In its complaint, the Commission charged that Molovinsky fraudulently stimulated demand for TVI stock by making materially false and misleading statements concerning the company's revenues, earnings and assets. Molovinsky disseminated the misleading information through investor correspondence and a series of TVI press releases which he prepared and issued. Among other things, he overstated TVI's revenues and income during 1992 and 1993, falsely represented that TVI had contracts to build tank gunnery ranges that would generate revenues exceeding $2.5 million, and falsely stated that TVI held patents for low-cost stealth material and thermal targets used in military applications.
According to the complaint, Molovinsky took advantage of the increased demand generated by his false and misleading statements by selling almost all of the 14 million shares of TVI stock issued in the offering without regard to restrictions imposed by the reorganization plan. Among other things, he sold more shares than permitted, and sold shares outside the prescribed 60 day sales period. In addition, at least 8.7 million of the shares were neither registered with the Commission nor subject to the exemption from registration provided by the Bankruptcy Code because they were sold to persons who were neither existing creditors nor shareholders of TVI. The Commission also alleged that Molovinsky misappropriated over $1 million of the proceeds by withdrawing funds from TVI corporate bank accounts and diverting investor checks to bank accounts he controlled.


This is a test of the podcast system I've been working on lately. The content is simply a review of the weekend pitching performances from some of the pitchers on my college follow list. The content isn't really the point of the podcast, that was just something to use for testing, the real point is to see if it works and how easy it is for you to use. I ran into some volume issues today that had not happened before which required me to boost the gain quite a bit, so there may be some distortion. I hope to have that fixed soon. Please let me know how the podcast works for you in the comments. Thanks.
Sounds good, I had no problem at all with the sound quality.
Like the sound as well!
Thanks for the feedback guys, glad it wasn't as bad as I feared. Once I fix the boost/volume issue voices should be more natural, not as halting and choppy at the start and end of sentences. The next issue is having two people on at the same time. Never realised how hard it is to try and talk while running the board at the same time, gained a lot of respect for guys in the radio biz.
They'll be in the (free) PDF guide that we're releasing in a week or so. I don't mean to make this a way to promote the guide or anything, it's just that the bulk of my writing efforts have gone into that this off-season.
I thought it was a top notch. If there's anything I can offer you throughout the season in the way of support or content, please let me know.

Hello, everyone! Welcome to another episode of Much Abrew About Nothing. Last week, during our Instant Deck Techs, it was a sideboard-less Mono-Blue Mill deck for Modern that came out on top, so this week we are heading to Modern to see if we can empty some libraries! Sometimes, Much Abrew is a balancing act. While the idea is to test out the deck from the Instant Deck Tech video, in some cases, changes are necessary. For example, the original build of Mono-Blue Mill was not only missing a sideboard but also running only 20 lands along wiSeth multiple six drops. As a result, I added a sideboard and went up to 23 lands by cutting a couple of the more expensive cards. On the other hand, I didn't want to stray too far from the original build, so we didn't add Archive Trap, Hedron Crab, or any fetch lands, even though they likely would have improved the deck.
That was rough. We learned in the comments of the Instant Deck Tech that the original build managed to Top 8 an SCG IQ, but it turns out that the IQ only had eight players and the deck actually went 0-4. Unfortunately, we didn't fare any better, going 0-5 and only managing to win two games across our five matches.
As for the problems with the deck, I'm not even sure where to start. Most obviously, we don't really have any removal, instead relying on Kraken Hatchling and Fog Bank, which are like removal spells that die to our opponent's removal spells and turn on their Searing Blazes.
Of course, we scoop to Emrakul, the Aeons Torn shuffling back in, at least in game one, since we don't have any way to exile things from the graveyard (although I did add some options to the sideboard like Surgical Extraction and Relic of Progenitus).
Probably the best comparison for mill is burn. Well, our mill deck is like a burn deck that's only playing Shocks, which is a tough order in Modern.
As far as making the deck competitive, I'm not sure it's possible while remaining mono-blue. Most of the best mill cards (like Glimpse the Unthinkable and Mind Funeral) are UB, and white adds some interesting options like Lingering Souls and Path to Exile.


The local weather affects your products and systems. Knowing the weather helps you plan your wardrobe for the day. Likewise, knowing the weather helps you design a product or system that is able to thrive in the weather conditions it will experience.
The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration tracks, records, and studies weather and climate. It is the recording part the is interest in this discussion. The weather databases have weather observation data going back, in some cases, a hundred years. The data includes temperatures, humidity, precipitation, wind speed, and more.
When building an environmental manual which includes the set of expected weather and use stresses, we need more than just the minimum, average, and maximum values. Better would be a histogram or similar analysis of the expected values. For example, if your product at cold temperatures degrades in performance, knowing how many hours per year it will experience cold temperates is useful information.
One way to gather and provide this rich data is by visiting the NOAA weather databases. Having done this recently I wanted to share my notes on how to find, extract, organize and analyze the weather data, step by step. I spent a bit of time sorting out how to do this and would like to save you the time involved in sorting it out yourself.
Let's explore in detail how to find, extract, and analyze hourly temperature readings over a recent 10 year period with the result being a histogram and determination of how many hours below freezing may exist for an imaginary product.

LBWCC needs to cut $799K
Published 1:10 am Wednesday, December 17, 2008
By Justin Schuver
Wayne Bennett, interim president at Lurleen B. Wallace Community College, said Monday's announcement of proration is going to result in "painful" decisions starting in the next academic year.
Monday, Gov. Bob Riley announced a 12.5 percent rate of proration in the state's education budget. Although the sting of proration will be lessened by the withdrawal of $218 million from the state's Rainy Day Fund, that still results in approximately a 9 percent cut in funding for Alabama's schools.
Bennett said, as a result of Monday's announcement, that LBW will have cut more than $799,000 from this year's budget. He said the school's budget revision will need to be submitted to the state by Jan. 9, at which point new president Dr. Herbert Riedel will have taken over at the college.
"We've got to cut that amount out of our budget between now and the end of the summer term," Bennett said. "We're working on a plan, but it's going to be painful and it's going to be difficult. You just can't make this level of cuts without it showing.
"We're going to try and do what we can to protect the needs of our students, but these are going to be hard decisions."
Bennett maintained that the school would fulfill any contractual obligations through the summer. He cautioned, however, that some payroll cuts may have to take place before the next academic year.
"I don't anticipate having to let anyone go during the spring term," Bennett said. "We're a people business, and we can't provide our services without people. However, from summer and thereafter, all of our options have got to be on the table."
In order to make the cuts in this year's budget, Bennett said the school would look at limiting travel and spending. He also explained that LBW may have to take "a serious look at savings for summer school."
"We don't believe we'll have to cut the program entirely," he said. "But we're going to have to look at some serious revisions."
One possible solution to the budget crisis was taken off the table when Alabama Postsecondary Chancellor Bradley Byrne announced Dec. 12 there would be no increase in tuition. Bennett says that right now LBW is taking a wait and see attitude before determining what specific cuts will need to be made.
"Dr. Riedel and I are working together to find solutions," he said. "We're going to have to be stewards of the state's money and live within our means.
"I will say that if the economy does not improve, we are very likely looking at some personnel cuts after the end of this year."

Q: I have a use case where i need to keep the protractor session as well as the browser instance alive after the tests end. Is there a way to do so? Similar to selenium using java, the session and the browser driver instance doesn't end on its own till user calls driver.quit(), however in protractor, the session as well as the browser instance ends on its own once all tests are complete.
I have a use case where i want to keep the protractor session as well as the browser instance alive after the tests end. does anyone have any idea ? please help
I have tried searching about this in many places however there is no concrete information. A similar question is using this issue : keep protractor browser session alive
this just keeps the browser open, but ends the protraactor test instance or session. I want to have both the protractor as well as browser instance running after the tests end.
Thanks in advance! Cheers!

A: Update: Based on your comment I have changed my answer. In this version the session will stay open until the user enters the word "STOP" in the URL bar and presses enter.
exports.config = {
    framework: 'jasmine',
    specs: "protractor.js",
    onComplete : async function () {

        //Manually wait for 60 minutes or until a user enters the words STOP in the searchbar
        await browser.wait(
           protractor.ExpectedConditions.urlContains("STOP"),
           60*60*1000,
           "Waiting until manual extraction complete or STOP entered in url"
        );
    }
}


The disease is complication, yet it cause back pain. According to Pathophysiology views, the scatters of demyelinization will start affecting the brain, as well as the spinal cord. Once it affects these areas degeneration starts targeting the myelin sheath (Nerves that insulates the layers of cells) and causes a string of patches of sclerotic tissues. The patches impair the conduction, which reaches the "motor nerve impulses."
What is nystagmus? Nystagmus is involuntary movements of the eyes, which rhythmically move from side to side and is caused from the disease since the nerves and muscles behind the eyeball is affected.
The fact is back pain can occur from feet conditions, such as swelling, heel pain, burning soles, battered ligaments, and so on. Sport injuries, car accidents, inappropriate bending, and lifting are all related to back pain. In fact, various medical conditions cause back pain, including multiple sclerosis, edema, and so on. With the many variants related to back pain, one must educate you on how the spine is structured and what happens if that structure is interrupted. Let's get started and learn what we can about back pain, and how we can eliminate such stress in our lives.

Can you mount this on the ceiling?
BEST ANSWER: Yes you can. In fact you can mount it anywhere you can find studs or ceiling joists. I put a thin sheet of ply up in the linen closet ceiling and then mounted the rack to the ply.
I don't see why you couldn't, as long as you have something solid to screw into.
Should work. You'll probably just want to use washers with the screw.
This 4 U rack is as simple and reliable as they come. I have used it in many different situations where it just made more sense to mount devices against the wall on a rack. I have also used it mount 2U rack servers to a wall (you need 2 racks) as well as 2U UPS units. The square holes work perfectly with Dell rail kits. If you are mounting 50+ LB items such as UPS units, I would suggest a 90-degree brace for additional support from your local hardware store just to be safe.
PROS: Easy to use, reliable, strong.
CONS: The screws that go in the sides can easily be lost when unpacking the rack.
This was easy to install and feels very stable. I did have to replace the nails it came with though because they don't seem ideal for this use. Instead I used 14 x 1-1/2 sheet metal screws to mount this to a plywood backing.
I've not had any issues out of this rack. I'm supporting 2 patch panels, 1 switch, a cable manager, and a router.
PROS: Good construction - and comes with plenty of snap-ins to mount equipment.
Awesome product. Dimensions and everything exactly what Monoprice had on the description.
PROS: A huge plus was this product came with the mounting screws to mount to the wall AND to mount devices into the rack. Most racks I've purchased you had to buy the screws to mount your devices.

In the year 2000, Robert Handfield, Bank of America University Distinguished Professor of Supply Chain Management at the NC State Poole College of Management, established the Supply Chain Resource Cooperative, now one of six college-based initiatives that connect academic research and teaching with the problem-solving needs of business and industry.
Since its inception, the SCRC has helped to launch the careers of more than 600 new supply chain professionals through real world learning experiences as part of their supply chain curriculum. More than 60 companies have partnered with the SCRC to address supply chain issues through structured team projects that span industries, from technology to life sciences, financial services to energy.
Handfield's commitment to teaching extends beyond Poole College, where he is one of the team of faculty experts in operations and supply chain management and teaches in the college's Jenkins MBA supply chain management curriculum. He also is on the graduate faculty of the Operations Research Curriculum at NC State – a joint graduate program shared by the College of Engineering and the College of Sciences.
Handfield is deeply curious about what is happening – and what is on the horizon – in the field of supply chain management and operations, as well as the evolving role of data. That curiosity fuels his robust research and publications agenda that has been advancing knowledge in both academia and industry for decades. Handfield is an editor emeritus of the Journal of Operations Management, one of the leading journals in the field, and is author of several books on supply chain, the most recent being "The Living Supply Chain, the Evolving Comparative of Operating in Real Time," published in 2017. His textbooks include "Supplying Marketing Intelligence," "Supply Chain Redesign," and "Introduction to Supply Chain Management," the latter of which has been translated into Chinese, Japanese and Korean. He was ranked in the Top 25 Most Productive POM Authors in U.S. Business Schools in 1996, and has appeared in Pro to Know, a list compiled by Supply and Demand Executive Journal.
A frequent source for news reporters writing on various aspects of supply chain, operations and procurement, and the evolving role of data in industry, Handfield has been quoted in the Wall Street Journal, San Francisco Chronicle, Inc. Supply Chain Management Review, among other periodicals. He also has been interviewed for podcasts, including segments published by ManufacturingLeaders.com in England, and Manufacturing Tomorrow, produced by the Ohio Manufacturing Institute at The Ohio State University , and regularly participates as a subject matter expert in webinars, such as a recent IBM session on the impact of artificial intelligence on supply chain decision making. Handfield also shares his insights through his own blog, "View from the Field," published on the SCRC website.
Handfield provided the following personal reflections in an email interview with Poole College communications.
Q. How did you get interested in supply chain management? What drives your continuing interest?
I was a statistics major as an undergraduate, and then worked during the summers operating my own business as a house painter, managing a crew of 12 college students. The overlap of applied mathematics and business thus interested me from a young age, and I pursued a Ph.D. at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in Operations Research. During that period, I studied the components of cycle time in product manufacturing, and visited over 50 manufacturing facilities across the U.S. and Canada, collecting data for my dissertation. These observations led me to understand the importance of integrating suppliers, procurement, logistics, order fulfillment and customers, which led to a lifetime pursuit of teaching and research interests.
Q. What are a few key changes you have seen in the field of SCM over your years of involvement?
The level of professionalism has increased dramatically, and executives from the C-suite are often being recruited from the supply chain function.
Relationships are more important than ever, and effective contract management is key to sustaining and growing mutual value in relationships.
Old habits die hard in sales and procurement relationships. I find that people still remain too price-focused and are overlooking the long-term benefits of innovation and continuous operational improvement.
Q. What are two to three key things those in the SCM industry (and today's students) need to pay attention to as they look ahead?
Your integrity and actions are critical. The SCM world is a lot smaller than you think, and your reputation is the most important asset you own.
Be in the moment when you speak to people. Don't be distracted by your phone but look people in the eye and address them directly. As one executive at Lenovo I interviewed said , little things don't mean a lot; they mean everything.
Be humble. Don't trumpet your accomplishments, as execution will speak for itself. You will improve your reputation and career by being a reliable person who can be counted on to do the right thing and get the job done. This may sound corny, but is critical.
Q. What is your vision for the SCRC as you look ahead? Both for the partner companies and the students who are involved?
I envision a day when we will expand our program to the point where we have students, former students, supply chain executives, and faculty all working on the same problems in the cloud. As analytics emerges as a central strength of our program, I believe we will soon be working on problems virtually, using datasets that are shared in real-time, working on problems as they roll out. We won't need PowerPoint presentations anymore, as everyone will be engaged in real data, real problems, and real solutions. I expect that the level of collaboration between NC State and industry will grow to the point where we will be most trusted partners for the companies that come to us as a source of top supply chain talent, and we will find new and ever-improving ways to work together.
Q. On a more personal note: You are extremely productive in terms of research, teaching and availability for those seeking comments, advice, and seem to always have a smile. What's your secret?
I am very efficient with my time. And I always take one day at a time, and don't let things fluster me too much when problems arise. And when you smile, it makes everyone around you feel better about whatever is going on. Plus, I have what I think is one of the greatest jobs in the world at one of the best universities in the world. Why wouldn't I smile?
T.S. Eliot once said "Between the idea and the reality, between the motion and the act, falls the shadow." Rob has been truly exceptional in bridging the gap between theory and action, building a well-earned reputation in the procurement and supply chain field amongst both academics and business leaders.
I was at NC State pursuing my Masters in Integrated Manufacturing Systems Engineering, with concentration in Logistics and Supply Chain. I was fortunate to have Dr. Robert Handfield as my final year research adviser. We partnered with Dr. Noel P Geris from UNC's Center for Logistics and Digital Strategy. That was in 2001 and I remember very well having discussions with Prof. Handfield on his vision for SCRC. I am very happy to see the program grow and flourish. I would like to thank Prof. Handfield as I continue to work in the field of SCM, from IT perspective and I attribute success in my career because of what I learned at NC State, under the guidance of Prof. Handfield.


We are all the creation of everything that has happened to us up until this point in time. Every relationship, hardship, joy, loss, gain, job, heartache has created us and we can't change any of it. Regret doesn't serve you. We can learn from it. We can't change it. And we have control to decide how we want to show up for what's next.
Unfortunately, there is a tendency to expect what happened in the past has to happen again. Whether we expect this outcome from our self or others, we "write a story" in our own head. A script if you will of how things will turn out. It's not always true! Too often these stories limit what we really can be. The past does not have to repeat itself. You don't have perfect information of what might happen. You can't control everything; you can control how you show up.
Learning to not make up stories frees us to experience what is in front of us, confidently make decisions, and take control of what's next.
These stories we write in our own minds tend to lean more towards the things that have gone wrong rather than reinforcing what has worked. Focusing on the problems creates a downward spiral of negativity that prevents us from finding solutions and outcomes.
We will look at things that have happened in the past, and assume that because they happened before, they will occur again. I frequently encounter people looking for a new job who have written off an entire company or industry because of one job interview that didn't go well. There might be a variety of reasons it didn't come through at that time, and it doesn't mean you cannot try again. Evaluate why it happened and ask the simple question, why does it have to happen that way again?
Other times we leap to conclusions we make without any real evidence. Imagine walking into a client meeting, and one of their team members looks at you and glances away without greeting you. Immediately you come to the conclusion that she doesn't like me and the meeting will therefore go poorly. How do you know that? Maybe she's thinking about something problematic that happened at home this morning. Maybe her phone buzzed and she was distracted. Be careful not to go down the path of negativity and making it all about you.
A good check on a tendency to leap to conclusions, is to run it through the "what's another way to look at it" or "what would my best friend say" test. Your boss challenged you on a decision and you can't believe what an idiot he is! Ask yourself; is there another way to look at what he said? How can I reframe his response to me so I have a more productive reaction? How would my best friend look at this?
We also carry with us beliefs about ourselves or the world that we have never experienced, but still believe to be true. "You can't successfully have a career and a family." "Unless you have an MBA from a top tier school you'll never be able to be successful." "You can never rise to the top with a Liberal Arts degree." Believing these viewpoints without questioning them can lead to decisions that don't play to your strengths, or allow you to control your own life.
A way to negate the impact of such unproven beliefs is to look for one instance when the belief is proven to be wrong. If others have proven it wrong, what would it take to follow that path, rather than give up without trying?
Our stories also come from our inner critic, or more popularly known as a Gremlin. It's that voice that tells you that you can't do something so why try. It can also stop you from taking risks so that you don't embarrass yourself. Most potently, your Gremlin brings up the thoughts of the imposter syndrome and suggests one day they will find out you really don't know what you're doing!
Getting rid of your Gremlin is impossible; it's been with you forever, and it will stay with you forever. What you can do is lessen the power of your Gremlin by naming it, reminding yourself of all the proof points you have that you are successful, and continually telling the inner critic to, "shut up!" and train yourself to not listen to that voice.
Unfortunately, there are chemical factors in place that exacerbate negative situations and help create this dark cloud of fear and frustration. When we encounter a situation – real or perceived – as being a threat, the cortisol that's released not only activates your amygdala to protect yourself from danger, but also triggers your limbic brain where all old experiences are stored. The result is a flood of memories of how you were hurt, embarrassed, or experienced failure. It's hard to counteract this if you're not intentionally training yourself to not focus, or take too seriously, the negative things that pop up. So many of these situations are not as problematic as we make them out to be, and we can train ourselves to be less pessimistic.
Take hold of your next steps by taking back control and write a new story of why it can happen, instead of why it cannot.

Candidate Recruitment
Jeanne Ives Wins Chicago Republican Party Straw Poll Over Rauner 17 - 3
Posted by Chris Cleveland 15.10pc on January 11, 2018 · Flag
January 11, 2018 -- In a major upset, the Central Committee of the Chicago Republican Party voted 17 to 3 with 2 abstentions to back conservative challenger Jeanne Ives over incumbent Governor Bruce Rauner. The vote took place Wednesday evening at a general meeting of the city's Republican ward committeemen.
Ives spoke to the group for nearly an hour before the vote. Governor Rauner had been invited to speak, but declined to do so. Rauner has avoided large gatherings of Republicans since signing a bill to create taxpayer-funded abortions earlier in the year.
"Jeanne impressed everyone with her determination to hit the state's problems head-on. She also showed a command of policy details," said Chris Cleveland, chairman of the Chicago Republican Party.
"It's almost unheard of for a regular Republican organization to fail to endorse an incumbent governor," said Cleveland. "The people in the room felt that Rauner had betrayed them."
The vote kicks off a season of endorsement sessions by county and township Republican organizations in the run-up to the March primary. So far, two suburban organizations have announced endorsements, both for Ives.
The decision by the Chicago Republican Party to back Ives is significant because of the sheer number of votes produced by the City of Chicago. Republicans in the city produce 5% of the Republican primary vote, and 7.5% of the Republican vote in a general election. The number of Republican votes in the city is larger than the number produced by any county except Cook and DuPage. Primary voters often look to local party organizations for guidance on candidate selection.

#SaludTues Tweetchat: How Schools and Police Can Partner to Support Students Exposed to Trauma
Children exposed to violence, crime, or abuse still go to school the next day. They may be forced to skip homework, sleep, and breakfast. They may carry the burden of toxic stress that can interfere with their behavior and grades. However, schools are not aware. Fortunately, the "Handle With Care" program enables police to notify school districts when they encounter a child at a traumatic scene, so school personnel and mental health partners can provide appropriate trauma-sensitive interventions. Let's use #SaludTues on May 3, 2022, to tweet about steps schools, communities, and healthcare professionals can start a Handle With Care program and take steps to become more trauma-sensitive.

#SaludTues Tweetchat 2/1: Changing the System for Nutrition Security, Healthier Hearts
Many Latino families struggle to get enough food to feed their families. Even if they do get enough food, what they have access to is often unhealthy and nutritionally vacant.

#SaludTues Tweetchat 12/7/2021: Racism is a Public Health Crisis
The link between systemic racism and health inequities is undeniable. Health inequities among people of color arise from systemic racism, which has been and continues to be enforced by historic and present-day policies, laws, and practices at the local, state, and national levels. For example, past and present land use and transportation decisions perpetuate residential and school segregation which concentrates racial disadvantage and limits access to opportunity to stay healthy and thrive. Thus, local jurisdictions across the country are recognizing and addressing systemic racism through formal resolutions declaring racism a public health crisis. Through these resolutions, jurisdictions are committing to action to address underlying beliefs that fuel racism, transform ...

A Westport Gaelscoil has become the first school in Ireland to fly the Blue Shield Flag for its robust anti-bullying policy.
An Taoiseach Enda Kenny was in Gaelscoil na Cruaiche yesterday (Thursday ) to raise the Blue Shield Flag, which is an initiative by the ISPCC.
The Blue Shield Flag recognises schools who have strong anti-bullying policies and promote a climate of openness and support in responding to any bullying concerns.
Some of the measures introduced at Gaelscoil na Cruaiche include an anti-bullying awareness week and appointing an anti-bullying coordinator.
Speaking at the flag raising ceremony, An Taoiseach congratulated the school on their achievement.
"The ISPCC Blue Shield Flag is a testament to their positive action and determination to ensure a safe and secure school environment for all children and is a great example for all schools to follow to combat bullying," he said.
Last year the ISPCC worked with 100 schools in reviewing and developing their anti-bullying policies, and it has worked with 71 schools so far this year.
Fiona Jenning, regional ISPCC representative, said bullying is a consistent issue that needs to be addressed.
For more information on the campaign visit www.ispcc.ie or telephone (01 ) 676 7960.

Review: The NoMad Hotel, Los Angeles
The NoMad Hotel in downtown Los Angeles is the younger (yet more grown up) sibling of the nearby Freehand. This is the uppermost tier of the burgeoning Sydell Group, which also operates The Line Hotel in Koreatown and The Sagauro in Palm Springs, among others. This is actually their second NoMad-branded hotel (the first is in New York). It opened in January 2018 and occupies a 12-story building that was originally erected in the roaring 1920s as the American headquarters of The Bank of Italy.
The gorgeous restoration and Italian-inspired design were overseen by legendary French designer Jacques Garcia (whose notable work includes La Mamounia, Marrakech; Hotel Costes, Paris; and The Holborn, London).
The highlight of the hotel is the lavishly restored lobby, which no longer serves as a lobby but has been repurposed as the hotel's eponymously named restaurant and bar (run by acclaimed NYC chef Daniel Humm). The ground floor of the two-story space resembles a very expensive brothel. Velvet plays a big role here, in the drapes, on the wallpaper, on the sofas and chairs. Purple, lime green, magenta, royal blue… Garcia has never been one to shy away from bold colors. It's all very dramatic. And undeniably beautiful. The only drawback to a gorgeous restaurant that cannibalizes a hotel's lobby is that, well, there's not much of a lobby. There's not much room for hotel guests to mingle and gather with friends for a drink without making a reservation for lunch or dinner.

There is another bar on the rooftop, a super-casual indoor/outdoor cafe adjacent to a lovely pool. But it can get stiflingly hot up there. The rooftop's umbrellas are woefully inadequate as the sun bounces off many of the surrounding skyscrapers, coming in hot at near horizontal direction when the sky lacks clouds. That said, if you beat everyone else to the pool you might — might — be able to snag a cabana.
The 241 rooms are incredibly stylish, down to the old-fashioned brass light switches and retro-styled am/fm radios on which it would seem blasphemous to play anything other than jazz. The in-room barware is very sexy, so it would be a shame not to raid the minibar of its liquor. The beds are very soft. Too soft, really. You'll sink in the middle. It's sort of like sleeping on a trampoline but with very nice linens.
While almost everything in the building has been meticulously restored, it's a shame that the scope of this project did not extend to replacing the old windows. The cacophony that unfolds on the streets of downtown can be a shock to the senses at 5 a.m. Even from the 11th floor, the overnight chaos on the streets below makes it necessary for The NoMad to stock its nightstands with earplugs. For a hotel that would like to be classified as luxury, that's a real drag.
Even with all these flaws acknowledged, it's hard to resist The NoMad's charms. Service is terrific throughout. In the ever-growing boutique-hotel market in downtown Los Angeles, this one ranks among the best.
Bottom line: This is an absolutely charming boutique hotel in the heart of DTLA. It is NOT super-luxury, but it is a fun place to stay if you can tolerate ultra-soft beds and outside noise at 5am.
