Q: Makefile double extension pattern matching How to write the correct Makefile if I want to define generic targets of the form a.ext1.new_ext, a.ext2.new_ext, b.ext1.new_ext, b.ext2.new_ext etc. with prerequisites a.ext1, a.ext2, b.ext1, b.ext2 respectively?
Kind of this but general rule:
a.ext1.new_ext: a.ext1
    compiler --input a.ext1 --output a.ext1.new_ext

a.ext2.new_ext: a.ext2
    compiler --input a.ext2 --output a.ext2.new_ext

b.ext1.ext: b.ext1
    compiler --input b.ext1 --output b.ext1.new_ext

b.ext2.new_ext: b.ext2
    compiler --input b.ext2 --output b.ext2.new_ext

...

Thanks!
P.S. I call Makefile from root directory ., prerequisites are in ./src/folder and I need the output in ./build/folder. More precisely, my Makefile:
SRC := $(shell find ./src -type f \( -name '*.ext1' -or -name '*.ext2' \))
OBJ := $(patsubst ./src%, ./build%, $(SRC))
OBJ := $(addsuffix .ext, $(OBJ))

# Doesn't work
%.ext: %
    mkdir -p $(dir $@)
    compiler --input $< --output $@

A: What is wrong with:
%.new_ext: %
        compiler --input $< --output $@

?  If what you tried doesn't work, it's better to show us what you tried and copy/paste the not-working thing, than to ask a generic question which might lead us to give answers that don't solve your actual problem.

A: It seems the solution is:
./build/%.spv : ./src/%
    mkdir -p $(dir $@)
    $(GLSL) $(GLSL_FLAGS) $< -o $@

Thanks for you suggestions!

2.2.11. Accidents on Heath End Road are also likely to reduce as the number of vehicles on the road will decrease. Although there are likely be benefits of the scheme to existing known accident locations, opening the bridge to all traffic could increase the likelihood of accidents occurring along the new route for traffic.
We would also direct consultees to review our Road Safety Briefing Note which provides further details.
You can also search your area for current road accidents statistics from the Department for Transport. Look at the number of accidents along current main road routes along the A444 Griff Way and B4112 Heath End Road and current 'rat runs' such as Whittleford Road, Tompkinson Road and Greenmoor Road and compare these within the residential areas affected by the Bermuda Connectivity Project including Bermuda Road, Shillingstone Drive, Tenlons Road, The Raywoods, Northumberland Avenue, Westbury Road & Church Road.

See what students say:
The University of Illinois' massive size means "opportunities, lots of classes, lots of student groups," and "an incredibly lively campus." "The research support is phenomenal on campus" and "there are a lot of resources to supplement your studies." Students find the university's "fantastic library system" and "phenomenal advisors" to be "such a benefit for research projects," and "countless on-campus resources such as the Career Center, Writers Workshop, Office of Minority Student Affairs, free tutoring services, and the Study Abroad Office" also support students' academic experiences. They praise their professors as "wonderful," "not just good at research but also instructing and mentoring," and "very approachable," and students thrive on the emphasis on experiences outside the classroom: "The field work (tons of field work) that they make us do really helped in getting used to the field." "Most professors here are devoted to teaching, not researching." Classes can be big—"As an underclassman, many classes I've taken have been with very large classes"— but "the professors are engaging and know how to keep a class of 700-plus entertained." U of I's programs in business and engineering have long been recognized as among the best, and one student says, "I liked the breadth of the engineering program and the opportunities associated with it." Even if you're not sure what you want to study yet, its undergrads feel that the university has "an amazing reputation and strong programs in many different majors, and that if I needed to change majors (which I ended up doing) I would still be getting a great degree."
"The diversity of the students here is astounding. Race, religion, major, you've got it all." Because in-state tuition is a major draw, "a majority of the students that you meet here will be from the Chicago suburbs," but the school also attracts "a wide variety of students from all across the world." "University of Illinois houses so many different types of students that the only way we are alike is our dedication to getting an education and our loyalty to UIUC." Undergrads feel that their peers "really know how to be academically successful," and shed state-school stereotypes like so many dirty socks: "It obviously takes a lot to get into this school so students aren't ready to throw it all away to sleep in every day." Social life changes as you find your "niche": "The typical student starts out going to a school of 40,000 students and is lucky if they know a handful of people. Within one week, life as that freshman student grows. There are so many opportunities to get involved on the floor of your residence hall, in organizations, in your classes, that it's hard not to make friends and close relationships."
In terms of location, "campus is located perfectly between Chicago, Indianapolis, and St. Louis, providing a unique atmosphere in town but close access to other urban areas for a change of pace." Students call social life "very exciting," and say, "The bars in downtown Champaign are great and super relaxed, plus there is an awesome music scene that most people don't expect from a college town." "People here like to party, but there are a lot of other fun things to do," whether it's "going to the Krannert Center to see plays or concerts" or the "movie theater and mall…on Saturday afternoons. Champaign-Urbana seems small to city kids, but to me it's the land of opportunity." Students relish the "nineteen-year-old bar age," and U of I also has "one of the largest Greek communities in the country." The combination of these facts does mean that "drinking culture is huge here" but "there's also tons to do beyond the bars." The range of social opportunities is nearly limitless: "There are 40,000 students, thousands of clubs, two gyms and several sport facilities, and array of establishments to explore on Green Street." As a whole, students report happily that "life is busy, but rewarding."

Documentation Required for LD
Specific Learning Disability Students requesting accommodation on the basis of a specific learning disability must provide documentation from a professional who has undergone comprehensive training and has relevant experience in differential diagnosis of a full range of cognitive and psychiatric disabilities (e.g., a licensed clinical psychologist and/or neuropsychologist). A comprehensive assessment battery (not to be limited to an individualized education plan or 504 plan) and the resulting diagnostic report must contain the following items: A diagnostic interview—the interview must include a description of the presenting problem(s), developmental, medical, psycho-social, and employment histories, family history, and a discussion of comorbidity where indicated; An assessment—for the neurological or psychological evaluation to illustrate a substantial limitation to learning, the comprehensive assessment battery must contain the following domains: Aptitude/cognitive ability—an assessment of global intellectual functioning as measured by the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-IV (WAIS-IV) with all subtests, standard scores, and index scores; Academic achievement—a comprehensive achievement battery (e.g., Woodcock-Johnson Psychoeducational Battery - III: Tests of Achievement), with subtest and standard scores, indicating current level of functioning in the academic areas of reading, math, oral and written language; and Information processing—a comprehensive battery (e.g., Woodcock-Johnson Psychoeducational Battery - III: Tests of Cognitive Abilities), with subtest and standard scores, which addresses the specific areas of short and long-term memory, sequential memory, auditory and visual perception, processing speed, executive functioning, and motor ability; A specific diagnosis which conforms to the criteria for the specific learning disability, as stated in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5); and A clinical summary which: Indicates the substantial limitations to major life activities posed by the specified learning disability; Describes the extent to which these limitations impact the academic context for which accommodations are being requested; Suggests how the specific effects of the learning disability may be accommodated; and States how the effects of the learning disability are mediated by the recommended accommodations. Testing must be current—within the past three years for a high school student and within the past five years for an adult.
Documentation Required for ADHD
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Students requesting accommodations on the basis of attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) must provide documentation by a professional who has undergone comprehensive training and has relevant experience in differential diagnosis and the full range of psychiatric disorders (e.g., a licensed clinical psychologist, neuropsychologist, psychiatrist, or other relevantly trained specialist). The documentation must include: Evidence of early impairment—the condition must have been exhibited in childhood in more than one setting; Evidence of current impairment—a history of the individual's attentional symptoms and evidence of current impulsive/hyperactive or inattentive behaviors that significantly impair functioning in two or more settings must be provided; A diagnostic interview—the interview must contain self-report and third-party information pertaining to developmental history, family history of ADHD or other learning or psychological difficulties, relevant medical and medication history, a thorough academic history, and a review of prior psychoeducational test reports to determine whether a pattern of strengths or weaknesses is supportive of attention or learning problems; Evidence of alternative diagnoses or explanations being ruled out—the documentation must investigate and discuss the possibility of dual diagnoses and alternative or coexisting mood, behavioral, neurological and/or personality disorders that may confound the ADHD diagnosis; Neuropsychological or psychoeducational assessments as needed to determine the current impact of the disorder on the individual's ability to function in an academic setting—such data, if provided, should include subtest and standard scores; A specific psychological diagnosis as per the DSM-5; and A clinical summary which: Indicates the substantial limitations to major life activities posed by the disability; Describes the extent to which these limitations would impact the academic context for which accommodations are being requested; Suggests how the specific effects of the disability may be accommodated; and States how the effects of ADHD are mediated by the recommended accommodations.

At the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, sustainability permeates all facets of the culture. As a signatory to the ACUPCC, Illinois is committed to carbon neutrality by 2050. To date, the campus has already reduced energy use per square foot by 24 percent since FY08. The Energy Conservation Incentive Program is in its second year recognizing and incentivizing further reductions. Currently, all new buildings must meet LEED Gold standards, and the new Electrical and Computer Engineering Building is slated to be LEED Platinum—and net-zero energy. The school has also invested more than $100 million in building retrofits to ensure that the campus is more sustainable, uses less energy, and has less sprawl. At last count, 50 buildings at Illinois have been retro-commissioned, resulting in an average energy reduction of 28 percent per building. Other conservation efforts include a steam trap maintenance program, the installation of energy recovery wheels, the use of deferred maintenance program funds to purchase energy-related components, a water leak assessment and repair program, and LED exit sign installations. Due to the efforts of many individuals and departments, the total solid waste diversion rate is now 85.6 percent , this campus is a Bicycle Friendly University, and we plant native species whenever possible. Students at Illinois are very passionate about sustainability: Each student pays a fee for clean energy and for general campus sustainability. The Student Sustainability Committee manages the fee income (approximately $1.1 million annually) and funds sustainability projects on campus through a competitive proposal process.

Q: Named Query parameter in hour interval I'm currently having trouble to execute this query using HQL.
String queryString = "SELECT o FROM Orders o WHERE o.orderMade >= DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL :fetchTime HOUR)";

this will fetch the last orders from the last ":fetchTime" hours.
The problem is, how to set this parameter using HQL ?
I tryed
.em.createQuery(queryString).setParameter("fetchTime", fetchTime).getResultList();

but it results in a hibernate error.
I also tryed to use "?" instead a named parameter, but without success.
Even writing a number into the queryString and not setting any parameters, I still getting this error:
unexpected token: 6

I know this is referred to the number 6 I've used instead the fetchTime.
The only way I got this working was by using this as a NativeQuery, but this one returns a list of detached Objects and I really wanted to use a NamedQuery.
Thank you for your time!

A: Time calculations in SQL are always difficult, because the time functions are different for every database (MySQL, Oracle, ...). The easiest solution, which I would recommend to you, is to do the time calculation in Java, for example like this:
long fetchTime = ....;  /* fetch time in hours */
String queryString = "FROM Orders o WHERE o.orderMade >= :orderTime";
Query query = session.createQuery(queryString);
Timestamp orderTime = new Timestamp(System.currentTimeMillis() - fetchTime * 60L * 60L * 1000L);
query.setTimestamp("orderTime", orderTime);
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
List<Orders> orders = query.list();

Remark: 60L * 60L * 1000L is one hour. don't forget the L to force long calculations.
Then you can be sure your HQL will work on every database.

A: It seems you have two choices or go native or use criteria

Young people's perceptions of advice about sexual risk taking

Fall 9-9-2016
Sexual and reproductive health indicators for young people in the USA have improved in recent decades, but teenage pregnancies remain high, and large differences between Whites and non-Whites persist in teenage births, abortions, and the acquisition of sexually transmitted infections. Prior research shows that young people are receptive to communication about sex from parents and friends, but peers have been found to be more influential on sexual risk taking. In this study of 617 young people aged 13–20 years in high-risk neighbourhoods for teenage pregnancy in New Jersey, we asked whether sexually inexperienced young people differed from sexually experienced young people in their level of receptivity to the recommendations from their parents, friends, and others about whether to have sex before marriage and whether to use a condom if sexually active. The results showed that the sexually inexperienced were more receptive to messages from figures of authority in their life than those sexually experienced. We also found that stronger message intensity from parents, friends, and others to delay sex until marriage and to use a condom if sexually active was associated with lower sexual intentions in the next six months and the use of a condom if sexually active in the last three months.

Self-help is what is needed
THE BANK of England's tricky task of setting interest rates for a two-speed economy has just got harder. A slew of data over the past few weeks has thrown into sharp relief the growing gulf between the resilient domestic economy, fuelled by the spendthrift consumer, and the internationally exposed sectors of the economy, particularly manufacturing, which are being clobbered by the double whammy of an overvalued pound and sharply slowing global demand.
The phenomenon was most strikingly illustrated by recent figures showing Britain's trade in goods deficit has ballooned to its widest since records began in 1697.
Conventional wisdom goes like this: a deteriorating current account deficit will trigger a run on the pound, sending inflation shooting higher and forcing the central bank to jack up interest rates. That will then check consumers' profligacy, leading to fewer overseas goods being sucked in, and some semblance of balance will be restored.
But that isn't what's happening. Instead, the Bank of England has been cutting interest rates to compensate for those parts of the economy that are close to, or already in, recession. At the same time, sterling continues to be strong against the euro.
Critics say this is a strategy which puts the economy on a collision course with disaster. But with manufacturing accounting for only 20% of the total economy compared with the service sector's 70%, the Bank has had to prioritise. If the consumer goes down, we all go down together.
The brutal truth is that manufacturing has to help itself. Rather than boosting productivity and restructuring itself when the exchange rate was weak between 1992 and 1997, industry chose to shunt up prices to enjoy increased margins. It is paying for that now.
IN THE spring of 2000, there were two subjects on investment bankers' minds - the dotcom boom and how to make money from it. There were several avenues open to enterprising financiers. Some floated companies and earned millions of pounds in fees. Some joined companies together and took their commission. Some left banking altogether and loaded themselves with share options at dotcom start-ups. And some simply threatened to leave. They were the luckiest ones of all.
As the hi-tech boom reached fever pitch, investment banks were terrified by the exodus of their brightest and best to dotcoms. They began to make promises. Some firms set up quasi venture-capital situations, allowing bankers to participate in the profits of the companies they floated. Most banks just offered more-generous pay packets.
There is an increasing trend in the dog-eat-dog investment banking community to encourage staff to stay by paying them a combination of cash and deferred shares. Certain banks clearly adopted this policy when it came to keeping hold of would-be dot com departers. Now that strategy is coming home to roost.
UBS has been caught with a massive bill. The Swiss bank is not alone and the timing is dire. Just as firms are facing serious revenue problems from the decline in business, they are having to pay preposterous sums of money to bankers who really do not need them. The jobs market has contracted sharply this year and most financiers are happy simply to be in employment. They do not need incentives to stay put.
The situation is not without irony. Investment banks were largely responsible for stoking the dotcom frenzy in the first place. Eager for commissions, they over-valued businesses. Now they are hoist by their own petard - yet another example of myopic investment banking management.
Too much spin
COMPANIES have learned a lot from this Government. For the past four years Labour has leaked selected bits of its policy initiatives and announcements, planting them carefully to get favourable publicity and create a positive impression. The intention is to distract attention from the messy, the mundane and the sometimes seriously unpleasant bits tucked away deep between the covers of the official documents.
Government works on the basis that the public attention span is short and if anyone does drill down into the detail, it will be too late because people will be interested in something else by then.
But just as spin has been discredited in Government circles it has approached full flower in the corporate sector and the City. Companies these days spend much more on public relations than Government could ever dream of - and the result, predictably, is that chief executives will jump through all manner of hoops to put a gloss on their figures and tuck the bad news - or sometimes simply the whole truth - deep in the small print.
One only has to look at companies that have reported in the past couple of weeks to see how deeply ingrained this has become. When Vodafone reported its figures on Tuesday the company guided followers to its £4bn of profits, an 87% increase on the year before.
Dedicated telecoms watchers had to wade through 22 pages of text in the news release before coming to the consolidated profit and loss account which revealed that Vodafone in fact lost almost £8.1bn before tax, compared with profits of £1.3bn in 2000.
Last week, the Stock Exchange gave its headline profit figure as £57.9m, up 39%. Adjusted earnings per share of 152p were also published. Page nine of the news release told a different story - a 37% decline in pre-tax profits to £30.4m and earnings per share more than halved to 51.4p.
Then there is Marks & Spencer - there is always Marks & Spencer. It did not even bother to put figures on the front page of its news release, preferring instead to kick off with a state-of-the-nation address from chairman Luc Vandevelde. Inside, readers were told profits before tax and exceptionals were £480.9m and adjusted earnings per share were 11.4p, marginally down from last year.
But even deeper inside, in fact on page 12, tenacious readers would have discovered that Britain's biggest clothing retailer arrived at this profit figure only after making allowances for exceptional operating charges, property losses, business closures and provisions, all of which would have made profits much lower had they been included. How much lower? Well eventually one comes across a figure that shows the company's earnings per share were precisely 0p.
Boots and Sainsbury's with their figures on Wednesday and Thursday may not have been quite in the M&S league, but they too were trying. Boots spoke of a 6.5% increase in 'underlying operating profits before exceptional items and group strategic initiatives'. But at the basic pre-tax level, profits were down.
Sainsbury's came up with 'stabilised underlying group profit before tax and e-commerce'. Its profits were also lower.
This is not sinister, but it is not healthy either. One reason why the dotcom boom went to such extremes was that investors were detached from reality by the over-optimistic presentation of financial data. Real companies with real businesses don't need to do that and should curb the natural impulse of their chairmen and chief executives always to appear in the best possible light.
If they don't they may find themselves with the problem the Government now has. When people realise how they have been misled, they also stop believing the truth.


Hoegemeyer Hybrids, a company who literally walks the fields of the farmers they serve, wanted to express themselves in a bold way without neglecting their roots. To do it, we embraced one strategy: honesty. We kept the language short and sincere, the design pure and open, and the scenarios true to life under a big Midwestern sky. This new, authentic feel not only better connects with audiences, but helps the honest-natured Hoegemeyer grow more successfully—by simply being themselves.
Through honest design and plain speak, this recruitment brochure captured that Hoegemeyer is not only growing, but sincerely and confidently self-assured of that growth.
This sales brochure to farmers and dealers presented Hoegemeyer for who they really are—authentic, forthright and capable—all wrapped in a design that felt like the reader is walking the fields of the Western Corn Belt Hoegemeyer serves.
At the onset of the 2019 growing season, this seed guide not only displayed Hoegemeyer's new seed hybrids and varieties, but also a new look evolving the Hoegemeyer brand.
This mailer went out to farmers and dealers so they could see Hoegemeyer's recent growth and acquisitions, see where they're headed, and above all, see them at their booth during 2018 farm shows.

El Día Internacional del Libro Infantil y Juvenil (en inglés International Children's Book Day - ICBD) es un evento anual promovido por la organización sin ánimo de lucro Organización Internacional para el Libro Juvenil (IBBY).

En 1966, la escritora y periodista alemana, fundadora de IBBY, Jella Lepman, propuso que el 2 de abril de cada año se celebrara el Día Internacional del Libro Infantil y Juvenil, en conmemoración al nacimiento del escritor danés de literatura para niños, Hans Christian Andersen. La primera celebración se hizo el 2 de abril de 1967 y Lepman estuvo a cargo del discurso de inauguración del evento.

Actividades
Las actividades que se realizan este día alrededor del mundo incluyen concursos de escritura, anuncios de libros premiados y eventos con autores y autoras de literatura infantil.

Cada año una Sección Nacional del IBBY tiene la oportunidad de organizar el ICBD. Decide el tema e invita a un autor o autora significativo del país a escribir un mensaje a los niños y niñas del mundo y a un reconocido ilustrador a diseñar un póster. Estos materiales se emplean de diferentes maneras en la promoción de los libros y la lectura.

Muchas secciones del IBBY promueven el Día Internacional del Libro infantil a través de los medios y organizan actividades en colegios y bibliotecas públicas.

This week we'll be taking a look at the book Changes by bestselling author Jim Butcher, who is one of our favorite authors here at M.P. His fast-paced, witty and charming first person narrative accounts of Harry Dresden's actions as Wizard, Private Eye, Warden (Magic Police Officer, Judge, Jury, and Soldier all rolled into one) keep readers coming back for more. I'll admit plainly that, after reading the first book on recommendation from a friend, I went out and bought/rented the next 10 – whoops says my bank account. Anyways, Changes is the latest novel in the Dresden series, and like its name implies, everything you know about Harry will change.


BJP's performance in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh should be a warning for Congress as well.
A file picture of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Amit Shah.
The state assembly elections outcome has given the BJP and the Congress enough reasons to be on their toes till the upcoming general elections. In Madhya Pradesh, the number of seats BJP won went down to 109 from 165, in Rajasthan it fell to 73 from 163 and in Chhattisgarh the party won just 15 seats compared to 49 in 2013. Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh were BJP strongholds for the past 15 years. The results have undoubtedly rejuvenated the Congress party workers and given strength to the shaky legitimacy of the Congress president, Rahul Gandhi. At the same time, it has also provided a pre-general election opportunity for the BJP to think carefully about the agendas and issues that it is planning to embark on coming year in the Hindi heartland.
In these states, BJP adopted a two-pronged strategy for its campaign. The first strategy was to actively experiment with the brand of Hindutva politics. The underlying narrative was simple—in order to blunt the anti-incumbency factor, give the voters something emotional and cultural to play upon and Hindutva may have seemed like the best available option to the party for that.
Apart from BJP president Amit Shah threatening to weed out 'Bangladeshis' and asserting that Ayodhya will have a 'Ram Mandir', the party also employed Adityanath to drum up Hindutva sentiments among voters. On the eve of the polls, the Uttar Pradesh chief minister, in his trademark style, declared that Hanuman was a Dalit tribal and 'Ram Bhakts' would vote for BJP. Of course, he added, 'Ravana Bhakts' will vote for Congress. Adityanath addressed approximately 75 rallies across three states on the election trail mainly trying mobilising and polarising the votes on religious lines.
The second strategy that the BJP embraced was highlighting its own government's achievements, reminding the people of the Congress era mis-governance and corruption, thereby evoking a sense of Congress 'fatigue' among the people.
The Congress party, on its part, vehemently raised the issue of policy decisions, farmer's plight, demonetisation, GST, unemployment, inflation, MSP and corruption. However, they also toyed with the Hindutva agenda. In Madhya Pradesh, they kicked off a 'Ram Yatra' where party leaders were supposed to visit temples in the state, Rahul Gandhi prayed in the Mahakaal temple in Ujjain and also tried to appease Brahmins.
Interestingly, the Hindutva approach seemed more crucial to Congress than to BJP. The latter probably assumed that the personalities of Modi and the likes of Shivraj Chouhan as faces of the party will be enough to carry them through.
However, for the Congress, Hindutva was supposed to be the last resort in an election campaign as they lacked organisation and sustained electoral efforts. Also, the party must have hoped that their attempts at 'soft Hindutva' was also meant to counter BJP's assertions that they are an anti-Hindu party.
The outcome shows that the Hindutva agenda of both the parties, especially the BJP, failed to influence the voters. It is time the Congress realises that it cannot play in the BJP's court when it comes to experiment with the Hindutva politics. What will work for the Congress party is sticking to governance issues like demonetisation, GST, inflation, unemployment, economy and how the BJP government has been undermining institutions such as RBI. The outcome shows that the rural voters overwhelmingly supported Congress across the states. The widespread farmer's crisis became a credible fulcrum for the Congress performance in these states.
Farmers from across the country had taken out a massive march in New Delhi last month, and before that in Maharashtra in March. Farmers had also demonstrated in Delhi with skulls earlier this year and had openly rejected issues like the Ram Mandir as inconsequential. In fact, they persistently and powerfully voiced their discontent against the Modi government during its entire tenure. Many commentators have pointed out that India's rural distress has deep, systemic roots and cannot be solved with eyewash policy announcements.
That the BJP managed to garner a respectable number of seats, especially in Madhya Pradesh, despite ruling for three terms can be credited to a robust cadre based organisation, role of Panna Pramuksh, and aggressive campaign on the ground.
The takeaway for both the parties after the election result is that it is easier to convince voters on the issue of mis-governance by an incumbent government rather than the divisive agenda of Hindutva politics. The increasing hullaballoo by the BJP on the issue of so called 'Urban-Naxals', compounded with their Hindutva politics may have dealt them a body blow.
It seems Congress has taken for granted the fact that if people are fed up of the BJP, they would automatically vote for their party. Perhaps, this complacence led to the party's moderate performance in Rajasthan, where there was a strong anti-incumbency wave against the Vasundhara Raje government.
When the BJP is in opposition and blends governance issues with the cultural politics of Hindutva, it has altogether different implications as it was witnessed in Uttar Pradesh. In states where the BJP is in power, the opposition can focus on issues of development which should expose the shortcomings of BJP's Hindutva agenda to the voters.
Now, Congress is relatively at a better place in bargaining with the regional parties for a larger coalition before the general election, 2019. At the same time, the outcome bestows even greater responsibility on the Congress to prepare a credible alternative vis-à-vis the BJP government. The presence of a non-BJP government in major Hindi Heartland has the potential to puncture the polarisation attempt by the Hindutva forces.


That's it. Everything else comes later. Know what you need to do next? If you know what's expected of you, you can start moving forward. Have questions? You need some level of trust to ask them.
With that in mind, I wrote a document that I share with new reports. I've shared this with people I've hired and with people whose team I've joined. In either case, I think it paints a picture of who I am and how I want to interact with them. I iterate on this with every new person I send it to, and I encourage discussion and feedback. If I'm joining their team, I tend to mention this during our first 1-1 and send it after. If they're a new hire, I'll incorporate it into a more verbose on-boarding document with key resources, names to know, and output expectations for their first month to a year.
I picked up this trick from Roy Rapoport on the Rands Leadership Slack¹ and was inspired to follow suit. I've found it to be a terrific way to start off relationships with new reports.
Without further ado, here is my Manager README. As I encourage my reports to do, please let me know if you have any questions or feedback about it!
Where will you start on your path to a trusting relationship with your new report?
I'm excited to get to know you more organically through chats, but a few up-front things about my philosophies that might be helpful.
I'm here to help and support you, to set context for what you're working on, and to advocate for you and the team with the rest of the company.
My availability looks scary, but I'm here for you!
My calendar is full of meetings and it may be intimidating to schedule something with me. If you see a good time on my calendar, please schedule something (you don't need to ask first). I'll be there (my Google Calendar is 99.9% accurate excluding ad-hoc meetings). If there's urgency and you can't get a meeting with me for a while, send me a message on Slack or text and I'll make time. If you need to reschedule something, that is not a problem! I endeavor to make all of my calendar events with modify privileges (I use this extension) and you should feel free to go ahead and move it to some other time slot that's within business hours and not conflicting with other meetings.
I think highly of the DRI model.
To clarify: you're here because of your experience and your skills and I don't want to override either of those. I'm here to help you succeed but not dictate how you should act.
If I think you're headed down the wrong path, I'll definitely try to dissuade you, but disagreeing with my input does not indicate that you're doing something wrong.
You'll still need to get consensus, agreement, and input from your teammates.
I value transparency about what's happened, what's happening, and what's going to happen.
I value learning, and know that training up on a tech stack may not always be the fastest route to production.
I value your time and don't want you to do any process that is neither beneficial to you nor required by law, policy, etc.
Feedback is very important to me.
Please let me know if I'm doing poorly on any of these attributes. I'll return the favor!
I'm big on work/life balance.
Most folks work between about 8am (at the earliest) to 6pm (at the latest), and unless there's an emergency, I don't expect to communicate with you outside of these hours with respect to your local time. I try not to respond to e-mails or slack during off-hours and under no circumstances expect you to, unless it's an emergency.
I'm big on 1:1s. I believe that these meetings are for you to set the agenda. What would you like to talk about? What's going well? What's bugging you? These don't need to be status updates unless you really want to talk about project status. For local chats, I really enjoy walking 1:1s; for remote chats, I have a difficult time focusing unless I can see your face over video. If there are things that I want to ask you, I'll do it, but this is your time. The length, frequency, and medium are also up to you, but my hope is that we'll have at least 30 minutes a week, with an optimal 60 minutes per week. This is only a minimum though, and not a maximum! I prefer to have separate meetings scheduled for agenda-driven chats (e.g. goals, reviewing 360 feedback, etc.) so that we still have room for more timely 1:1 chat.
I endeavor to have a great working relationship with you, and I would encourage you to have great working relationships with your peers and business partners (in the office and/or on your team), as well as other folks in other offices to get a sense of how things work outside of our team. I'm happy to make introductions for you or provide networking suggestions to help you do that.
I started writing a Week in Review² blog (though my updates are super infrequent). I think of it as an annotated version of some topics that may come up in our 1:1s. Please consider this a living document to comment in, ask questions about, etc.
I've written a lot here about my philosophies but a fair amount of my job is adapting to your needs and philosophies, and I look forward to talking to you about them!
¹ It's a pretty great place to learn things, network, and find a lot of kind and differing views on leadership and management. Check it out.
² I learned this trick from Lara Hogan who referenced where she learned it, along with an example post here. In the version I share internally, I'd link the WIR there.
This is a great read and very impressive values. Thank you for sharing.
I tend to go over them with new recruits or new members of my team.
I have a printed copy on my wall near my desk, it is for me. To constantly make sure that I keep my side of this deal.
Thank you! And wow, your blueprint is beautiful! I love it!

Australian airline Qantas plans to offer the world's longest commercial passenger flight . .
@ annozblog Great Britain , Australia , Qantas 2 May 2022 2 May 2022 1 Minute
Australian airline Qantas plans to offer the world's longest commercial passenger flight from Sydney to London from 2025.
The company will buy 12 aircraft from Airbus, Qantas has announced. Qantas also wants to fly from Sydney to New York. The flight from Sydney to London will take more than 19 hours and will be flown with the Airbus A350-1000, says Qantas. Each flight can accommodate 238 people.
Qantas CEO Alan Joyce says there will be spaces on the planes where people can move. "This project makes every city accessible with one flight from Australia." Macarena The Australian airline company already did a trial with a flight to New York in October 2019, before the corona pandemic. It then lasted 19 hours and 16 minutes.
The company wanted to use this to see whether such a flight would be feasible at all and what the impact would be on people's health. Movement, with a joint macarena, was to keep the blood circulation of people on board going. Qantas actually wanted to offer the ultra-long flights from next year, but the corona crisis threw a spanner in the works. Billions
There are already direct flights between Great Britain and Australia. Qantas already flies from London to Western Australian Perth, a flight that takes almost 17 hours.
The longest flight is currently operated by Singapore Airlines, which flies from Singapore to New York in just under 19 hours.
The deal with Airbus is probably worth many billions. In addition to the twelve Airbus A350-1000 aircraft, Qantas is also buying forty other aircraft from the European aircraft manufacturer. These are intended to renew the aging domestic fleet.
Do not like that long flights, the sorter the better . AZ

Africa's best equation for youth question
Confidence and training in action is all Africa needs to build on youths towards the continent's future.
19 June 2019 Wednesday 09:44
Felix Kaiza/ADB Sources
African leaders have a two-point equation to adopt if they want to benefit from the youth who constitute the continent's best assets.
As, they struggle to build towards the future, they must not only develop but also have confidence in the youth besides training them in becoming dynamic, resourceful and entrepreneurial.
Reading the letter and spirit of the just ended African Development Bank (ADB) three-day Annual Meetings in Equatorial Guinea to exchange views on emerging issues shaping the future of the continent, the host country's story stands testimony to this.
Talking to about 2,000 delegates on what could be called the Malabo Equation, ADB Group President, Dr Akinwumi Adesina, paid tribute to President Obian Nguema Mbasago for what he called his determination to trust and invest in the youth.
"I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on your appointment of the new Minister of Finance, a young, bright and very dynamic 39-year old economist, and a former associate Professor of economics in Spain.
"My interactions with him showed me you made a very smart choice Mr. President. By his appointment, you have demonstrated remarkable confidence in the youth as you build towards the future. Well done!"
Dr. Adesina cited the Teg Campus – "an IT and coding boot camp right here in Malabo. There, I saw dynamism, resourcefulness and entrepreneurship of the youth in action. The basketball stadium was jam packed - not with basketball players - but with budding young entrepreneurs. The Tech Campus is laying the foundation of what will become the "Silicon Valley" or should I say 'the Malabo Forest' for IT in Equatorial Guinea.
He singled out four youth icons. "Sigfredo who developed a moving robot and wants to study aeronautics and robotics; 18-year old Angelica who created an intelligent stick for the blind and visually impaired; Mathias, who inspired by the beauty of his country designed an impressive online digital portal; Celso, who has a well thought out agribusiness idea for processing mangoes and avocadoes; and Quintin who is developing a safety and security App for taxi users."
In a symbolic message to leaders on the African continent, Dr. Adesina told President Mbasago: "The youth of Equatorial Guinea are the best assets you have… Keep up your determination to invest in the youth."
While acknowledging the importance of greater integration particularly for small landlocked countries, Lesotho leader, King Letsie, said in the spirit of the occasion: "Grey matter" infrastructure was equally important. "If we do not pay enough attention to developing and building the human being – mentally and physically– we cannot develop."

Exhibition: Norman Reedus has several strings to his bow!
Focus on the work of Norman Reedus who participates in this collective exhibition as part of the 10th anniversary of the Hors-Champs gallery, Paris 3rd.
Between the diary and the narration of a dreamlike universe, the photographs of Norman Reedus are a journey in the meanders of a psychic labyrinth where the meetings surprise by their diversity. By turns unusual, funny, disturbing, sweet and erotic, they seem to emerge from a dream, to appear from its mist to better escape, like the echoes of a childhood sleep, the enigmas of a mask outside the time.
In this sense, Norman Reedus' photos are autobiographical snapshots of life. Besides, Norman always walks around with a camera in his hand or around his neck, as an extension of himself and of what will link him to the world. Sometimes brutal and sexual, revealing her outlook on the society around us, "Disturbing is beautiful" is her credo. It is the spontaneity of his shots and the rock and roll attitude of the photographer that naturally appealed to me as a writer and artist as well. The rebellious side of an adolescence that has never been neglected. And poetry, sublime moments of grace torn from the gates of perception.
Norman Reedus is an American actor who has gained worldwide notoriety by playing one of the main roles of the series The Walking Dead (from 2010 to now). He also appeared in the beautiful film Sky directed by the French Fabienne Berthaud in which he shares the poster (and life since) with the actress Diane Kruger.
It is exhibited for the first time in France in the Galerie Hors-Champs.
The subject of the exhibition revolves around the myth from three angles: new body, new space, new power.
This Norman Reedus photo touches on these last three: new individual body, new gender space, new political power. The looks of these drag queens are thought of as an imitation, playful, parodic, of female normativity.

Microgaming release Neptune Rising - A new Casino Slot!
Apparently, the association between Microgaming and Plank Gaming is already bearing fruits. Indeed, on 14th March, Plank Gaming announce they'll soon release an amazing new game exclusively for Microgaming and its partners. Which means that online casinos who offer their games like Spin Rider, Spin Station and Dream Vegas will soon release it too.
It's true that Plank Gaming isn't the first studio to release an Atlantis theme video slot. And the truth is they're probably not going to be the last one either. After all, Mermaids, dolphins and treasure chests have captivated the imagination of people for centuries now. And surely, it'll be no different for players who'll try this new online slot too.
To sum up, the new Neptune Rising video slot has 5 reels, 3 rows, 10 paylines and an RTP of 95.92%. At the moment nor Microgaming or Plank, Gaming revealed the volatility index of this game. However, if we have to make an educated guess, we'd say it's a volatile slot since the paytable is on the higher end of the scale. Indeed, landing 5 or more wild tridents will reward players with 9,000 coins.
What's more, is that this slot also has a generous Free Spins bonus and a max win that could see players pocket up to 5,000x their bet. So next time you visit any white hat gaming brands, make sure to give this slot a Spin. Who knows this game could also bear fruits for you too?


Is stitching module able to stitch images taken from a parallel motion camera ?
I was wondering if the stitching module is able to stitch the images taken from a camera that is in parallel motion to the plane which is being photographed ?
I know that generally all the panoramic stitching tools assume that the center of the camera is fixed and that the camera only experiences motion such as pan or pitch.
I was thinking if I can use this module to stitch the image taken from a camera which moves parallel to the plane. The idea is to create a panoramic map of the ground.
I'm using stitching module (OpenCV246) to combine images from 6 cameras on one shelf. Results is good, but unpredictable (son stable) - each run my program with the same input data can generate different results.
I'm not familiar with the OpenCV Stitching method, but slightly different results make sense depending on the implementation. Usually at some point RANSAC may be used to estimate the transformation between two images. In that case the random selection of keypoints lead to different transformations.
How do you stitch your images? Using feature detection and matching then transformed of an image? If yes then, RANSAC is very useful to detect best inliner point from two corresponding images. and then you can apply transformation of an image.


The Urban Garden Apprenticeship Program is an intensive, semester-long program designed to give students the opportunity to explore the intersection between social justice and our urban food system. Apprentices participate in on- and off-campus workdays, field trips, seminar-style discussions, and workshops. Our multi-disciplinary approach critically examines various aspects of our food system, from food deserts to farm labor, while teaching participants the basics of sustainable agriculture and growing their own food. The program aims to develop a sense of community both among its members and with various organizations in Charleston's agricultural sector, provide students with the opportunity to explore urban agriculture, and to pair student experiences on campus with various other community members.
Past curriculum goals included learning about: soil composition, herbal household items, food deserts, composting, seed starting, companion planting, crop rotation, bed building, indigenous agriculture, vertical gardening, herbal remedies, organic pest control, and permaculture design.
The Urban Garden Apprenticeship Program is partnered with the Sustainable Agriculture Program at the College of Charleston. Check out their Facebook and Instagram pages.
All of this is made possible by our various community partners: The Cofc Grounds Department, MUSC Urban Farm, West Ashley Hindu Temple & Cultural Center, Lowcountry Street Grocery, Fresh Future Farm, Hickory Bluff Farm, Blue Pearl Farm, and the Charleston Permaculture Guild.

Your Stories Categories: Egg sharing
Egg sharing was a win win for us and another couple
Lucinda (32) and Matthew (45) had always wanted children and were fortunate to have a child following IVF treatment. Knowing how much having a child meant to them, the couple decided to donate eggs to another couple while they were having further IVF to conceive a second baby.
Lucinda begins: "After giving birth to Edward in January 2012 I read about egg sharing and how sometimes women have to wait four years to receive a donated egg.
"Having gone through IVF once myself, and thankfully successfully, I knew that the process was hard enough on its own, let alone if you've got to first wait some indeterminable time period for someone to donate an egg; it must be truly terrible and I can see why some couples split up during this difficult stage."
Watch the video below to hear Lucinda and Matthew discuss their decision to egg share (or view it on YouTube here).
"We could help give another couple hope"
Another factor that influenced Lucinda's decision to look into egg sharing was her realisation of how she felt being pregnant the first time round.
"My three best friends all fell pregnant around the same time. Fortunately I became pregnant at the same time but I questioned 'what if I hadn't? How would I feel then? How would I feel if I had to wait 4 years before someone donated an egg to me? Would you look at your friends with jealousy or wonder who is going to help me and my husband?'
"It made me realise egg donation is something money can't buy – it's a waiting list – and we were in a privileged position where we could help give another couple hope and ultimately, if treatment is successful, a child of their own."
So the Essex couple decided to investigate egg sharing as they considered having another child.
Changing to Bourn Hall Clinic
"Initially I contacted the hospital in London where I'd had my first IVF treatment on the NHS but they didn't offer an egg sharing service" explains Lucinda.
Matthew adds: "This was one reason why we changed to Bourn Hall and on seeing the clinic and realising it had such a friendly, relaxed atmosphere we knew it was the right place for us. To see your wife happy takes off some of the pressure and you also feel better as all you are able to do is support her.
"It's much harder for a woman but it's also hard for the man to see his wife go through it.
"Bourn Hall provided us with concise and clear information and they gave us the feeling that it would be a great place to conceive a child."
The egg sharing programme
Dr Tom Mathews at Bourn Hall explains: "Bourn Hall was one of the first clinics to introduce an egg-sharing programme.
"A woman's fertility treatment often results in the production of more eggs than she may need and these eggs can be used to help another patient to conceive a child.
"If a woman is happy to donate eggs she is given an opportunity to write a message to any resulting child, which the child can request when he or she becomes 18. The donor is also able to provide a pen-sketch of themselves which can be given to the recipient.
"This outline includes information about the donor's physical appearance, interests, skills, reasons for donating but it must be non-identifying. The donor is also able to contact the Clinic, at least a year after the donation, to find out if there have been any successful births resulting from the donation."
Lucinda signs up
Lucinda applied to join the egg sharing programme and Bourn Hall's medical team were able to confirm her eggs were healthy and that she met the age criteria, as she was within the age range of 18 to 35.
"I was so glad when they told me I was eligible. We thought it was a good thing to do and we were in a fortunate position where we could help others.
"We already knew the infertility issue was with my husband and not with me. In some sense we thought we therefore had it easy. It is a lot easier to deal with male infertility than female infertility and I'd been successful in getting pregnant the first time I'd had IVF."
Second attempt at IVF
Preparing for their second attempt at IVF Lucinda and Matthew were slightly less optimistic that they would be successful. Also as they were no longer eligible for NHS funding they would have to pay this time themselves and the finances were a concern.
Lucinda explains: "Statistically successful IVF can take several attempts and second time around for us we thought we might have to have two or three goes at the procedure and we were worried about the finance of it."
Matthew continues: "Once we had decided to go ahead with egg sharing this did help to reduce the cost for our IVF treatment, which meant that if it did fail we could have funds to do it again, plus we were helping somebody else. We saw that as a plus because we knew that Lucinda could have children and we were giving someone else the opportunity to. They were going to benefit, so it was win win for us.
Emotional consequences of egg sharing
"We did talk long and hard about it, including the emotional impact and how donating would affect us if the other couple had a child and we didn't."
"The counselling available was very good and supportive", Lucinda adds.
She continued: "Egg sharing was right for us but it depends on your circumstances. We were pleased we went ahead with it and would thoroughly recommend it as you feel you've done something for someone else."
Although Lucinda and Matthew were convinced that they wanted to donate eggs other family members were not so sure.
Matthew continues: "Our biggest challenge was convincing some of our wider family members who didn't quite understand the process. I think as the process had been explained well to us we understood it and were therefore able to make an informed decision based on emotions and our circumstances.
"I had the easy part, I was only going to have to give a sample for testing and then later a specimen, it was Lucinda who was going to have to go through the IVF and who was donating her eggs."
With Lucinda and Matthew reassured they were making the right decision, Lucinda went for screening in May 2013.
A baby brother for Edward
After ovarian stimulation she returned again for her egg collection and produced 13 eggs. Lucinda kept seven eggs, to be fertilised using Matthew's sperm, and another lady received six eggs.
Of Lucinda's seven embryos five developed to 5-day blastocysts. A '4AA' graded blastocycst was transferred to Lucinda's womb and one embryo was frozen for use in future cycles.
Lucinda successfully fell pregnant and in May 2014 baby Timothy was born, a baby brother for their first son Edward.
Lucinda said: "It was a miracle that both our IVF treatments worked first time. I'm not sure if the lady receiving our donated eggs did successfully fall pregnant but I'd certainly consider donating eggs again if it can help another couple become a family."

Hope of fathering children snatched away at 20
At 20 Fraser felt he and his partner Nina were still too young to consider starting a family, but then suddenly his hope of ever fathering a child was snatched away from him.
The couple met in 2004. Shortly afterwards it was found that Fraser had Klinefelter Syndrome, a genetic condition that affects about one in 600 new born boys. The baby is born with an extra X sex chromosome in his cells – XXY, rather than the usual XY. This second X chromosome carries extra copies of genes, which interferes with the development of the testicles and can make the carrier infertile.
Klinefelter Syndrome shock
Most men with Klinefelter Syndrome have normal lives, jobs and relationships, and will be unaware of their chromosome variation. It is a condition that can be treated with Testosterone Replacement Therapy but this won't restore fertility.
Nina begins: "Learning Fraser was infertile was a huge shock for him and us as a couple. Initially we buried the topic under the carpet before realising if we ever wanted to have children we needed to discuss our options and see our GP."
IVF with sperm donation
In May 2011, Nina and Fraser confirmed their love for each other and were married; a month later they had their first consultation at Bourn Hall's Cambridge clinic.
The couple had been referred for NHS funded IVF treatment and given a choice of clinics. Nina explains: "Following our research we opted to go there. We knew Bourn Hall had excellent success rates and it was a much better setting than the other hospital options we'd been given."
The couple would need donor sperm for treatment and Bourn Hall has its own sperm bank. Sperm donors are anonymous but provide a short pen picture about themselves and a message to be given to any future children arising from treatment. A donor is selected that has similar physical characteristics to the future parents.
Nina continues: "As we were using donor sperm, we filled out the necessary paperwork, giving details of physical characteristics like height, eye and hair colour. A few days later we were sent a couple of matching profiles. We picked the one we thought most suited."
Sufficient sperm is reserved for treatment and also for future siblings.
"The whole process was very quick," she says.
Baby Alfie arrives
Following successful IUI (Intrauterine Insemination), a form of assisted conception treatment involving the injection of sperm into the womb at the time of ovulation, Nina gave birth to Alfie in February 2012.
"Although our first treatment was NHS-funded, if we wanted to give Alfie a brother or sister this further treatment would be self-funded so we would have to save up for this."
Unsuccessful with IUI
In early 2013 the couple returned for two further IUI treatments, but both were unsuccessful. The couple were devastated.
Nina explains: "We decided to take a break before returning to Bourn Hall to discuss our options. Initially we thought IVF was too expensive to even consider but then we learnt of the egg donor programme."
Nina considers egg sharing
As Nina was only 28, fit and healthy she would be eligible for consideration for egg sharing; this is when a woman shares half her eggs with another patient and in return receives free treatment.
"Egg sharing gave us a way to get IVF, which we badly wanted, and we could also help another couple. As someone had kindly donated sperm to us it seemed a no brainer to give something back."
All Bourn Hall patients are offered complementary counselling, but for egg donors this is obligatory.
"Fraser was initially reluctant to go as he wasn't sure how it would help, but we did find the opportunity to talk to an impartial person and hear different perspectives useful. It confirmed for me that egg donation was definitely right for us and Fraser even said it was 'helpful'."
Within a few weeks a match was made with another lady and then it was a matter of synchronising the two patients' treatments to ensure both were ready at the same time for embryo transfer.
The collected eggs were shared between the two ladies.
Twin brothers for Alfie
Nina was given IVF with Intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) where the embryologist selects a single sperm and injects it directly into the egg.
Nina says: "Having decided this was our last go we opted to have two embryos put back in so hopefully one would develop into a baby."
A scan at Bourn Hall confirmed Nina's positive home pregnancy result and subsequently the couple learnt they were expecting twins.
On 18th July 2015 Harry and Jack were born.
"We are extremely delighted to have our twins; initially it was a shock learning we were expecting them but from then on it was so exciting preparing for their arrival.
"Fraser is an amazing Dad and dotes on them. I think especially as he realises there was a high possibility that without Bourn Hall we wouldn't have been able to have any children.
"We're now settled with three but I would consider egg donation again as it helps others and most certainly it would be at Bourn Hall."

This saison has a relatively low ABV and is light, with lemon, mildly peppery undertones and a clean dry finish. The brett character adds a slightly funky note and emphasizes the overall citrus character. This beer has been bottle conditioned which adds a higher level of carbonation. Rousing the yeast will give it a cloudy appearance and a little more barnyard character.
