Q: Posting messages to external Javascript via mshtml I am attempting to communicate with an externally linked javascript file from the DOM using mshtml.
I figured using postMessage found in IHTMLWindow6 would be the easiest way but I am not receiving the messages in my external javascript file.
Here is my C++ code that posts the message:
if (!htmlDocu->get_parentWindow(&htmlWin2) && htmlWin2)
{
    IHTMLWindow6 *              htmlWin6;
    if (!htmlWin2->QueryInterface(IID_IHTMLWindow6, (void **)&htmlWin6) && htmlWin6)
    {
        VARIANT varBstr;
        VariantInit(&varBstr);
        varBstr.vt = VT_BSTR;
        varBstr.bstrVal = SysAllocString(L"*");

        BSTR str1 = SysAllocString(L"the message");
        htmlWin6->postMessage(str1, varBstr);
        VariantClear(&varBstr);
        SysFreeString(str1);
    }
}

Here is my javascript code that should be receiving the message but is not:
window.addEventListener('message', function(event) {
    alert('got message');  /* Never happens. Why? */
    alert(event.origin);   /* Never happens. Why? */
    alert(event.data);   /* Never happens. Why? */
}, false );

I believe the error is in the C++ as I am able to send a message event inside of the javascript with no issues:
window.addEventListener('load', function(event) {
    alert('sending message');
    window.postMessage("lalala", "*");
}, false);

Could anyone provide where I can find good C++ example of using postMessage() via IHTMLWindow6?

It will take the world's poorest countries more than one century just to reach the level of climate change readiness that the richest countries already enjoy, according to data released Thursday (Dec. 12) by the 2013 University of Notre Dame Global Adaptation Index (ND-GAIN).
The latest version of Notre Dame's annual index highlights huge disparities between the developed world and developing world when it comes to being prepared for the problems climate change is expected to cause in this century.
This year's data show that the ND-GAIN Index is more than just a ranking of countries. The index, which is "open source" and available to anyone with an Internet connection, contains crucial information for policymakers, the private sector and nonprofits. The index aims to unlock global adaptation solutions that save lives and improve livelihoods while strengthening market positions in the private sector and policy decisions in the public sector. It informs strategic, operational and reputational decisions regarding supply chains, capital projects and community engagements. "This year's announcement shows that the index contains data that can clearly help decision-makers determine global, regional and national priorities," Chawla said.
Under the United Nations-led climate talks, billions of dollars have been pledged to help the world adapt to climate change. But key questions remain on where and how that money should be spent. ND-GAIN is one tool that can help governments, nongovernmental organizations and the private sector better target those and other investments.
The 2013 Index was released on Thursday (Dec. 12) at the ND-GAIN Annual Meeting hosted by the Wilson Center, a nonpartisan global public policy institution. The ND-GAIN Annual Meeting serves as the premier gathering of domestic and international experts on climate change adaptation and is attended by leading figures from the government, nonprofit and private sectors.

Q: Android OSM scroll map I am new at OSMdroid and I am currently trying to make an application. The problem is when I load the map (it's downloaded and stored in the cache) and zoom (by pinching or pressing the zoom button) the whole map doesn't refresh. It will only refresh the part where my screen is so if I scroll away it looks like this:

And after some scrolling and zooming in the whole map disappears. It will only come back when I zoom out.
Does some one know why this happends? I tried to do this:
mapView.get().setMapListener(new DelayedMapListener(new MapListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onZoom(ZoomEvent arg0) {
            mapView.get().getTileProvider().clearTileCache();
            return false;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onScroll(ScrollEvent arg0) {

            return false;
        }
    },100));

But that doesn't help either.

A: You are zooming in beyond where you have offline tile imagery. So for example, you have tile imagery to level 17 and you are zooming in to level 18. The maps will scale zoom level 17 up to 18 for what is on the screen (in the cache) for visual effect when zooming, but it won't scale beyond that because it expects the regular tiles will be available.
Create an ITileSource with the appropriate zoom levels, or call setMaxZoomLevel() on the MapView.

The Great North Innocence Project celebrates client's release from prison after Minnesota Conviction Review Unit's investigation
The CRU cites a Brady violation and new medical evidence for decision
(Moose Lake, MN) – The Great North Innocence Project announced today that their client Thomas Rhodes will be released from Moose Lake Correctional Center after spending nearly 25 years in prison. His release is the result of a comprehensive review of his case by the Minnesota Conviction Review Unit (CRU), a partnership between the Great North Innocence Project ("GN-IP") and the Minnesota Attorney General's Office. The CRU ultimately found that a miscarriage of justice occurred in Mr. Rhodes' case.
After learning about the CRU's findings Mr. Rhodes said, "I look forward to hugging my sons Eric and Jason, being a good grandfather to my six wonderful grandkids, and having time to create new memories with family and friends."
GN-IP has represented Mr. Rhodes since 2013. Former GN-IP Legal Director Julie Jonas led Mr. Rhodes' legal team,which included pro bono attorneys Alexandra Olson and Samuel Lockner of Carlson Caspers law firm, Mark Bradford of Bradford Andresen Norrie & Camaratto law firm, former pro bono attorney David Schultz of Maslon LLP, Great North staff attorney Jim Mayer, Great North legal fellow Anna McGinn, and countless students from the University of Minnesota and Mitchell Hamline law schools. Former GN-IP staff attorney Sara Martin contributed significant early work on the case, as well.
Mr. Rhodes said of his supporters, "I want to express my tireless gratitude for the professional legal representation by the Great North Innocence Project and my pro bono attorney Julie Jonas. I offer my deepest thanks to my family, especially my sons Eric and Jason, for all the years of love, support, and the gift of six grandchildren. I am also thankful for friends on the outside and inside who have been there for me."
About the decision, Ms. Jonas said, "I have always believed deeply in Thomas's innocence, and I am so happy for him to be reunited with his family. Over the years, at least eight attorneys and dozens of law students have worked on his case having full faith in his innocence. Although he had strong proof of actual innocence and filed numerous petitions in court, procedural technicalities prevented him from getting any relief. His release would not be possible without the work of the CRU."
Mr. Rhodes' sons Eric and Jason, who were fourteen and nine at the time of their mother's passing, have always supported their father and never believed that Mrs. Rhodes' death was anything other than a terrible accident.
"I am so glad for the work of the Great North Innocence Project. Without them, my dad would be in prison for many more years. We are so thankful to have him back in our lives," said Eric, after learning that his father would be released.
A tragic accident
Mr. Rhodes was found guilty on July 29, 1998, of first-degree premeditated murder and second-degree intentional murder of his wife, Jane Rhodes, and was sentenced to the mandatory term of life imprisonment on the first-degree murder charge.
On August 2, 1996, Mrs. Rhodes fell overboard and ultimately drowned during a nighttime boat ride with her husband on Green Lake in Spicer, Minnesota. Upon seeing his wife fall into the water, Mr. Rhodes turned the boat around in an attempt to save her. In the darkness, he was unable to see her from the boat and so he jumped into the water. Ultimately, he was unable to find her and rushed back to shore and called 9-1-1.
Authorities arrived shortly thereafter and unsuccessfully attempted to locate Mrs. Rhodes in the water. The next morning, fishermen found Mrs. Rhodes' body about 9/10 of a mile from where Mr. Rhodes said she fell overboard and called police.
While Mr. Rhodes has always maintained that his wife's death was a tragic accident and that he attempted every effort to save her, authorities concluded that Mr. Rhodes killed his wife by striking her in the neck, pushing her overboard, and running over her body at least twice with his boat.
A conviction based on erroneous and incomplete evidence
Investigations by the Great North team and the CRU found significant issues with testimony that was key to the state's case against Mr. Rhodes. Nine forensic pathologists reviewed the state's case and Mrs. Rhodes' autopsy and all determined that the state's medical examiner, Dr. Michael McGee, was incorrect in his assessment of Mrs. Rhodes' injuries. The CRU also retained and consulted its own independent medical examiner who disagreed with Dr. McGee's assessment. The state has never brought another medical examiner forward who agreed with Dr. McGee's testimony. The Great North investigation also uncovered factual inaccuracies in the testimony of Captain William Chandler, who testified that he believed Mr. Rhodes misled investigators when searching for his wife's body. However, his conclusions were based on the inaccurate claim that the lake water was nearly thirty degrees colder than it actually was on the day of Mrs. Rhodes' death.
The state argued that, based on Dr. McGee's testimony and autopsy report, Mr. Rhodes intentionally grabbed his wife by the neck, pushed her overboard, and ran her over multiple times. However, the nine other forensic pathologists, plus the CRU's hired medical examiner, agree that Mrs. Rhodes' injuries were explained by a single blow to her head, possibly from falling out of the boat or from a single unintentional strike by the boat as Mr. Rhodes searched the water; postmortem dragging along the bottom of the lake; aquatic animals feeding on the face; and postmortem injuries sustained to the body during recovery and transport. None would have called her death a murder.
The CRU investigation also discovered that the prosecutor's office withheld evidence from the defense that would have benefited Mr. Rhodes at trial. This evidence, an interview transcript between Dr. McGee and then-Kandiyohi County Attorney Boyd Beccue, includes Dr. McGee expressing uncertainty as to whether Mrs. Rhodes was struck by the boat just once or multiple times after going overboard. However, during trial, Dr. McGee testified that Mr. Rhodes struck Mrs. Rhodes multiple times with his boat, suggesting intent. The prosecutor amplified that unfounded testimony in his closing argument by saying that the multiple boat strikes proved premeditated murder.
Since his testimony in Mr. Rhodes' case, Dr. McGee has faced increasing scrutiny, with courts finding several problems with his work over the last two decades. In the recent decision in the United States v. Alfonso Rodriguez Jr., a federal judge noted that Dr. McGee "has a well-documented history of providing false or inaccurate testimony in court," and that his testimony in the case was "so unmoored from a scientific basis that it should not have been received at all." Dr. McGee was also found to have given false medical evidence in the 2006 conviction of Great North client Michael Hansen for the murder of his infant daughter. Mr. Hansen was eventually exonerated and compensated by the state after spending nearly seven years in prison for a crime he did not commit.
A watershed moment for the Minnesota Conviction Review Unit
Mr. Rhodes is the first person who will be freed from incarceration because of an investigation and case review by Minnesota's CRU. With agreement from the prosecutor, the state district court will vacate Mr. Rhodes' first and second degree murder convictions. However, Mr. Rhodes will have a second degree manslaughter conviction on his record for driving his boat in a negligent manner. The guideline sentence for that charge would have required him to serve about two and a half years in prison. He has already served nearly 10 times that.
Minnesota's CRU is only the fourth in the United States to operate statewide as a partnership with the state Attorney General's Office, rather than with an individual county prosecutor's office. To date nationwide, CRUs have helped initiate the exoneration of 666 people.
About the Great North Innocence Project
The mission of the Great North Innocence Project is to free the wrongfully convicted and prevent future wrongful convictions from occurring in Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota. GN-IP has screened and investigated individuals' credible claims of actual innocence and represented wrongfully convicted people for over 20 years. GN-IP also educates attorneys and other criminal justice professionals on best practices and works to reform the criminal legal system to prevent innocent people from going to prison.

Oxford Martin School Director appointed to lead UN Development Programme
© Oxford Martin School/David Fisher
Oxford Martin School Director Achim Steiner is to take up a pivotal role with the United Nations, leading its drive to eradicate poverty worldwide.
Mr Steiner, also a Professorial Fellow at Balliol College, has been appointed Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), following his nomination by UN Secretary-General António Guterres and approval by the United Nations General Assembly.
The Programme, which has a budget of US$5 billion, works in more than 170 countries and territories to support sustainable development and democratic governance, and eradicate poverty. It is one of the world's largest multi-lateral development agencies, with 8,000 staff and more than 4,700 projects worldwide. It also administers the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme, with almost 7,000 volunteers deployed across the world.
UNDP helps countries develop the policies, leadership and institutions which can sustain their development and strengthen the foundations of peace. A key responsibility for Mr Steiner's new post, which is at UN Under-Secretary-General level, will be the UN's new 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which has at its core the Sustainable Development Goals.
President of the UNDP Executive Board, Ib Petersen, Permanent Representative of Denmark to the UN, said: "I know that I am speaking on behalf of all members of the Executive Board and all UNDP staff in warmly welcoming Achim Steiner as UNDP's new Administrator.
"Achim Steiner brings a wealth of experience, expertise and dedication to this hugely important role. I am certain he will make an enduring and positive impact on UNDP's development work around the world," he added.
The work of the Oxford Martin School, which Mr Steiner has led since 2016, addresses many issues central to the UNDP's agenda. The School, a leading research institution within the University of Oxford, brings together researchers from different fields to tackle a wide range of global challenges, such as food security, climate change, inequality and the future of work. Underpinning all of its research is the need to translate academic excellence into impact, from innovations in science, medicine and technology through to providing expert advice and policy recommendations.
Mr Steiner said: "The opportunity to lead UNDP is a tremendous responsibility, particularly with the priority given by member states to delivery of Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development, which will be a key platform for addressing global priorities. We live in a time of significant challenges for international relations, for development finance and the environment and I believe that with Secretary-General Gutteres and his team, the United Nations has a vital role to play in the field of sustainable development. I am honoured to have been invited to lead UNDP as part of this effort.
"My experience at the Oxford Martin School is directly relevant to many of the challenges we face. The School was created with a specific mandate from its founder to address the great challenges of the 21st Century. At Oxford, I have gained a deep appreciation of the vital contribution that cutting-edge research can make to tackling pressing questions about global issues such as the future of work, disease epidemics and the implications of emerging digital technologies and artificial intelligence, to name but a few."
Professor Roger Goodman, Head of the Social Sciences Division and Chair of the Oxford Martin School Management Committee, said: "While we will be very sorry to lose Achim Steiner from his position as the Director of the Oxford Martin School, we are immensely proud of his appointment to run UNDP. His appointment perfectly reflects the outward-looking, development-oriented work of the School and the impact it is already having on multiple areas of scientific, medical and social issues and we look forward to continuing to work with him and his colleagues in UNDP in the future. He leaves the School in a very strong state and we wish him all the best in his new role."
Mr Steiner's career has spanned economic development, international relations and global diplomacy. Prior to taking up his post at the Oxford Martin School, he was Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme where he led a number of major initiatives on the green economy, finance, energy and resource management.
An announcement regarding the date of the commencement of Mr Steiner's role at UNDP will be made in due course.

Q: Fluent NHibernate enforce Not Nullable on Foreign Key Reference Just getting my feet wet with some Fluent NHibernate AutoMap conventions, and ran into something I couldn't figure out. I assume I'm just not looking in the right place...
Basically trying to enforce NOT-NULL on the "many" side of the one to many relationship.
It seems, using the automapping, it always makes the parent property Id nullable in the database.
I did some searching on StackOverFlow and found similar questions, but nothing relating to AutoMapping and Conventions though (unless I missed it).
Quick example...
public class Group    // One Group
{
    public Group() { this.Jobs = new List<Job>(); }
    public virtual Guid Id { get; set; }
    public virtual string Name { get; set; }
    public virtual IList<Job> Jobs { get; protected set; }
}

public class Job    // Has many Jobs
{
    public virtual Guid Id { get; set; }
    public virtual string Name { get; set; }

    // Trying to make this field not-nullable in the database.
    public virtual Group Group { get; set; }
}

I thought I'd be able to just create a convention like...
public class OneToManyConvention : IHasOneConvention
{
    public void Apply(IOneToOneInstance instance)
    {
        // Nullable() isn't a valid method...
        instance.Not.Nullable();
    }
}

But it seems IOneToOnInstance doesn't have a Nullable() method. I can do this if I create a Map file for Job, but trying to avoid any Map files and stick with auto-mapping.
I came across this link on the Fluent group list describing something similar.
Which describes something like this...
public class NotNullPropertyConvention : IPropertyConvention
{
    public bool Accept(IProperty target)
    {
            return true;
    }
    public void Apply(IProperty target)
    {
            target.Not.Nullable();
    }
}

But that raises the questions of...
1) How would I determine IProperty to be a Job (or any child property that is a link back to the parent)
2) It made a mention on that page that using this would override my manual overrides, eg. if a very specific property link needed to be NULL. Which would be an issue (if it's still an issue, but can't test without figuring out #1 first)
Any ideas on this? Am I just missing something?

Update 1
Still no go. Even the following still doesn't enforce Not-Nullable in the database schema...
public class FluentConvention : IPropertyConvention
{
    public void Apply(IPropertyInstance instance)
    {
        instance.Not.Nullable();
    }
}

It does for all of the other fields though...

/shrug
Any ideas?

Update 2
While this isn't the answer I was looking for, I did find a work around...
I was using NHibernate Validator assembly, and within that assembly there is a [NotNull] attribute. If I decorated my class with the Validator attribute, and associated the ValidationEngine to NHibernate before the schema creation, it would tag the FK database column as Not-Nullable.
public class Job    // Has many Jobs
{
    public virtual Guid Id { get; set; }
    public virtual string Name { get; set; }

    [NHibernate.Validator.Constraints.NotNull]
    public virtual Group Group { get; set; }
}

If anyone needs the full code for the NHibernate + ValidationEngine initialization, just let me know.
Still looking for a way to do it using the pure mapping convention route though if anyone has any info...
Thanks!

A: You can override the auto-mapped properties as part of your AutoMap in Fluenttly.Configure().
So you can do this:
.Override<Job>(map => map.References(x => x.Group).Not.Nullable())

It's not exactly convenient if you have a lot of classes that need this though.
Edit:
You can also specify the override in a class that implements IAutoMappingOverride like so:
    public class JobMappingOverride : IAutoMappingOverride<Job>
    {
            public void Override(AutoMapping<Job> mapping)
            {
                    mapping.References(x => x.Group).Not.Nullable();
            }
    }

and include it like so:
    .UseOverridesFromAssemblyOf<JobMappingOverride>()

This would keep your fluent configuration a little cleaner.

A: It seems that IPropertyConvention is only called on simple properties of your classes. If your property references another class, you need to use IReferenceConvention too.
Try this:
public class FluentConvention : IPropertyConvention, IReferenceConvention
{
    public void Apply(IPropertyInstance instance)
    {
        instance.Not.Nullable();
    }

    public void Apply(IManyToOneInstance instance)
    {
        instance.Not.Nullable();
    }
}

Hallo richtig geiler film aber ich hate mich richtig erschrocken aber nur wenn es gruselig wird Jetzt nicht mehr so viel wie sonst Immer.
Ist das ne light version von slenderman?.
very nice movie.for me even more cause i am a east german.i remember this feeling 100 % when i saw that movie. its strange to live trapped in a country like east germany,when you know from your western brothers (in west germany) how this world out there really look. its like…you live in a movie and peopel out there watch you,you know about them and you try to get out the screen but you just cant…. hard to explain..
Too slow for my taste, but it did have some hilarious parts + a good ending..
OMG! Looks like a great movie!! I wanna see but I get the feeling, as an America, even with a basic knowledge of the event back in the late 80s and early 90s, will still miss a lot of German inside jokes and nods. .


Currently, ground-floor tenants like clothing store Anthropologie and restaurants Buddakan and Morimoto have both ground-floor and lower-level space, but for those who only occupy one level, the basement may be a better option since it will rent for far less than the $400 per square foot on the ground floor. Not only does the developer think this will increase diversity of tenants, but they feel the additional space is necessary considering how many new office workers are coming to the site.
Jamestown president Michael Phillips said, "Great retail is organic: It lives and breathes, and you always have to think about how to make it better. Adding the lower level gives us precious square feet in [a real estate] market where there isn't a lot of retail like this." He said the conversion will take place over the next five years.


Astrid Williamson has released a couple of solo works before this one (Astrid Williamson and Boy For You), but she is perhaps best known as the voice of the band Goya Dress. In this new album, her Joni Mitchell-like voice wraps itself around a number of lovely ballads, and some more up-tempo material.
Tonight is perhaps the most Mitchell-esque track on the album, and maybe the best tune. The luscious arrangement features strings, glockenspiels (I think), great backing vocals and more. The gothic Another Twisted Thing is a slow burner, and then we are into the penultimate track, Forgive Me, based on a shuffling drum part and gentle acoustic guitars. Astrid's voice is again in Mitchell territory, to good effect. The album closes with a haunting voice and piano piece.

If you're coming to London as an international student, and you're planning to stay in homestay accommodation organised through HFS London, you may have a few questions about what the experience is like and what to expect during your time in the city.
Here we'll try and answer some of these questions, so you can arrive in your family accommodation in London excited to start your new chapter.
Once your host and homestay has been confirmed, you'll receive their contact details, so we recommend getting in touch with them before you arrive. It's a good idea to introduce yourself and get to know them, as it can make things a little easier when you arrive. This way they can get everything ready for you, and make the moving-in process as pleasant as possible! You'll find that your host will be looking forward to meeting you and welcome you into their home.
Our homestay hosts are friendly and will do their best to make the homestay as easy and enjoyable as possible for you. We communicate with your host through the process too, so they know that this might be a big move for you, and will do their best to make everything go as smoothly as possible.
Having a more homely environment to go back to each evening after class is a really comforting thing, and it means you'll have company most days (even on the days when you're not in school). Many international students find this reassuring. It means there will be someone to talk to or exchange a smile with.
Living in a homestay doesn't limit you to only spending time with your host. Quite the opposite in fact! Staying in a London homestay, which is often in a great location, gives you the chance to have a secure base, a homely environment and a helpful point of support in your host – but it doesn't mean you can't go out with your course friends or school friends! Our hosts will encourage you to make friends and spend time in the city exploring – most of our hosts will recommend restaurants, cafes, cinemas and malls to the students who stay with them.
Choosing homestay often means you'll spend more time speaking the local language. You'll probably find that your English language skills improve quickly whilst staying in a family friendly home, because you'll be speaking to your host in English most days.
It's one of the biggest advantages to a homestay, as you host may even be able to teach you new things about the language and the culture.
Many people become friends with their host families, and even remain in contact after leaving the country. This is one of the many great things about homestays and staying with local families! The connections and friendships can last far longer than the course itself.

UK rank outsider for first Eurovision victory in 21 years
SuRie is 100/1 to take the Eurovision crown.
SuRie will have to beat odds of 100/1 to take the crown (Isabel Infantes/PA)
The United Kingdom will be hoping for its first Eurovision win in more than two decades next weekend.
https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/entertainment/film-tv/news/uk-rank-outsider-for-first-eurovision-victory-in-21-years-36872526.html
https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/entertainment/film-tv/news/article36872524.ece/522b4/AUTOCROP/h342/bpanews_1931443b-cb58-4551-94d9-ea6be72935d1_1
With automatic qualification for the final secured, UK entrant SuRie will take to the stage in eight days in Lisbon to perform her track Storm.
With just two top 10 finishes in the past 21 years, SuRie, whose real name is Susanna Marie Cork, will have to beat odds of 100/1 to take European music's biggest crown.
However radio DJ Scott Mills, who is part of the BBC's Eurovision commentating team, labelled the track the "most Eurovision-friendly song the United Kingdom's had in years".
"It's got all the ingredients of a classic Eurovision song," he added.
SuRie will have to beat off competition from a former X Factor runner-up as Saara Aalto is set to perform her track Monsters for her native Finland.
The competition's semi-finals will take place on Tuesday and Thursday evening before the grand final next Saturday night.
Current favourite for the title is Israel at 2/1, according to bookies Coral while France and Norway are at 6/1.
Coral's John Hill said it looked like the UK was facing another "bleak year", adding: "It looks very unlikely that we will end our 21-year wait for the trophy once again."
The last time the UK won Eurovision was in 1997 with Katrina And The Waves' Love Shine A Light, and the UK has not finished in the top 10 since 2009 with Jade Ewen's It's My Time.
Last year, former X Factor star Lucie Jones helped the UK achieve its highest points haul in eight years, 111, for her performance of Never Give Up On You in Kiev, Ukraine, coming in 15th place.
– The Eurovision Song Contest semi-finals will air on May 8 and May 10 on BBC Four at 8pm, and the Eurovision Song Contest final will air on May 12 on BBC One at 8pm.

Since 2003, an average of 124 deaths occurs annually in the U.S. as a result of alcohol-related boating accidents. The Coast Guard has instituted a plan to reduce the overall death toll by five percent by 2016, taking careful measures in how it enforces boating laws.
The new laws start with increasing awareness and effectiveness among the states in how they handle cases of BUI. Thirty-eight states have begun using a seated sobriety test developed for marine officers, which allows the officers to approach a boat suspected of BUI and perform the test on-location. Previously, officers would direct the boat to shore and perform the test on the dock.

Q: Creating a user without a password on NetBSD On my NetBSD installation, I have it set so that root has no password. I can login as root without typing a password. But, when I create a user with just useradd -m <username>, log out, then enter <username> at the login prompt, I am asked for a password. Why is this? I'd like to login as <username> without a password. Why is this different than root, which logs in right after entering root?

A: Having users without passwords is just a bad idea. Please assign passwords to all your users, especially "root". Every time you create a user without a password, a kitten dies.
On many systems, a good password is often the first, the last and the only line of defense against the scum of the Internet. Please tell me you haven't done that on a machine connected to network...
As far as asking a password, this is because the installation of NetBSD actually allows for password-less root, to be able to debug quickly a botched install. The NetBSD Manual is very specific about this and recommends you to run "passwd" as root immediately after installation.
Take a look at the NetBSD Guide for more details.

A: You would probably have to look at the source for useradd to find out if it was even possible to specify no password.
The "easy" way to do what you want is to use vipw to edit the password file, possibly to add the user manually, or possibly after having used useradd to do the initial record entry, and all you have to do is delete everything in the password (second) field -- i.e. leave it empty.
See passwd(5) for details (i.e. man 5 passwd).

Q: Term for a machine or object approaching its 'top' or 'upper' limit Let's say some machine, whatever it does, has some number of "cycles" that indicates the machine is prepared for maintenance, let's say it is 15,000 cycles.
Is there a term that indicates that machine is approaching its limit? Something like "85% to ___" or "85% of ____"?
Edit: To clarify, this is actually in reference to a part of a machine that requires preventative maintenance.

A: This is what people in industry call an operating envelope.  My link comes from a glossary of Oil and Gas Drilling terms, where it is defined as:

Limited range of parameters in which operations will result in safe and acceptable equipment performance.

The term is used in other industries as well, especially aviation, where knowledge of the operating envelope of an aircraft can become a matter of life and death.
Using your example, you can say, "This machine is at 85% of its operating envelope."

A: How about:

The machine is 85% of the way through its scheduled maintenance
cycle?
The machine is 85% of the way through its preventive maintenance
cycle (or schedule)?

For scheduled maintenance and preventive maintenance cycles, see Wikipedia, Maintenance, repairs, and operations.

A: This isn't a technical term, but you could say
life expectancy

"85% of its life expectancy"

All the definitions I found refer to humans, but I have seen this used for objects.

A: Capacity is the term you are looking for;
> - the total amount that can be contained or produced, or (especially of a person or organization) the ability to do a particular thing.
Cambridge Dictionary
The machine is running/producing at 85% of its capaciy and is approaching its full capacity level.


Last weekend, I organized a garden tour for my neighborhood home association, Oak Meyer Gardens (we call it OMG, but realtors know us by Armour Hills Gardens). While OMG may not have the largest homes or the most amenities of any homes association, we do have a wonderful community of neighbors who are active, interested, and supportive of one another. This was our inaugural OMG Garden Tour so I was pleasantly surprised at the attendance, participation, and rave reviews. Next year, I plan to open it up to the public and I will be sure to post about it here.
At my home, the big draw was our chickens. Everyone wanted to learn the ins and outs of chicken keeping; Mr. Snodgrass and I had fun playing show and tell with our homemade chicken coop, vegetable garden, and four egg-laying hens.

What it's Like Being a Mom, Wife and Critical Care Doc During COVID-19
by UnityPoint Health - March 30, 2022
Dr. Elizabeth Day has been a provider for more than 16 years. Ever since she was a kid, she's loved the idea of healing people.
"I was an avid reader and would read about Native Americans and medicine and was fascinated with the idea of being able to help people," she says.
The past two years have been far from normal for anyone practicing medicine. While most communities are currently seeing less COVID-19 patients, it doesn't mean they've forgotten the tough peaks of the pandemic. Dr. Day says she's seen more death during COVID-19 than any other time in her career.
"Being in a small town, these are people I know. They're families I know. It's taken an emotional toll on all of us," Dr. Day says.
Her hospital has the only critical care physician within a 90-mile radius. In partnership with another provider, they alternate shifts every 3-4 days. She says during times of high COVID-19 spread, the demand on care teams and providers increased as well.
"We've tried to help out more with the shortage of patient care techs and nurses, but I always worry about my nursing staff. We try to support each other the best we can, but it's tough, even though we've gotten very used to the severity of illness of our COVID patients – good or bad. So, that part of the stress has eased up, but it's just continuous. Despite the challenges, our team adapts well to rapidly changing situations," she says.
One of those team members is Heather Skinner, who Dr. Day has served as a mentor for during her time at UnityPoint Health. She started as an EMT but has been working as a tele-tech recently, keeping a close watch on heart monitors through the night.
She says the job is a lot harder than she thought it would be. Prior to this, she was in the middle of the action and now, it's hard for her to sit and watch as people pass away. But she says Dr. Day is helping her get through it.
"She's arguably my best friend at this hospital," Skinner says. "And despite everyone feeling burned out, she keeps going. She's there at 8 a.m. and leaves at 8 p.m. and will be on call the next 12 hours. Then, she does it again the next day."
Dr. Day makes herself available for whatever everyone needs. She's been there for patients even when she hasn't been on call. On top of that, she's made sure people know she's available for texts.
"She's kind of been like everybody's mom. She accepts no compliments. She doesn't brag and is super humble. She's gotten everyone through this pandemic so far, I think," Skinner says.
Outside of work, Dr. Day has 16-year-old twins, a gang of pets and a husband who works as a cardiologist at the same UnityPoint Health hospital.
"They're not impressed with mom being a doctor," Dr. Day jokes. "Although one of them is taking a health foundations class in school and 'feels pretty cool' about knowing a lot of the curriculum already."
Dr. Day admits balancing the needs of work and family is tough. So tough, that her own personal needs often take a back seat. However, she takes solace in being with her family when she can, especially during lulls in the pandemic. But she says she'll keep going regardless of what happens…because she has to.
Thankfully, she's got an exceptional crew on her side at the hospital.
"Medicine, especially critical care medicine, is very hard for people to understand who aren't engulfed with it. We deal with life and death very quickly and have to turn from one critical scenario to the next, without missing a beat, or sharing any weakness. It's important you have somebody who knows what it feels like. Not a lot of people understand the bond we have with each other. We're very much a team here," Dr. Day says.


Immigration non-policy continues to degrade U.S.
The U.S. President and Congress have decided to wait until after the November elections to tackle the "problem" of illegal immigration. It would be great if they identified what they believe the "problem" actually is! Some believe in a "statute of limitations" (time limit) for some immigration law violators. Some believe certain violators should not be held accountable to immigration laws at all. Some want the American people to accept that illegal immigration has been a substantial and positive boost to the U. S. economy, ignoring the fact that most wages and benefits are falling due to the availability of cheap labor. Too many elected officials are concerned with courting certain votes, disdaining America's most vulnerable and those most adversely affected by illegal immigration.
Illegal immigration's "boost to the economy" is good for stocks listed on the various exchanges and those who own the stocks. But how about you and your neighbors? Are you doing well? If you are a middle- or lower-income earner you have not benefitted from this "boost" and your standard of living has declined. Hispanics, blacks, and unskilled workers are the most adversely effected.
I believe it is our immigration law enforcement policy that is broken. The President, Congress, AFL/CIO, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, all want us to believe that additional cheap labor (legal or not) is good. Don't believe it! That cheap labor has crushed lower income earners and saturated their workforce. Now they want to target the middle-income earners and their workplace by importing so-called STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) workers or forgiving immigration law violators possessing those skills.
The Immigration Act of 1990 authorized the "U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform." Former Democratic Congresswoman Barbara Jordan was named its head. Ms Jordan had long advocated an Immigration policy "...where the national interest comes first, last and always." She believed that, "a nation has a right and a duty to establish and enforce immigration laws." Her commission issued a series of reports from 1994 to 1997. Included was this message, "The credibility of immigration policy can be measured by a simple yardstick: people who should get in do get in; people who should not get in are kept out; and people who are judged deportable are required to leave." Who should be judged deportable? It's a simple answer. If you have entered our country without permission or overstayed a visa or passport, you are here illegally and should be deported.
That commission's labors (three years of work) have been dismissed and replaced with a plan from the so-called "gang of eight" (politicians behind closed doors). It is wise to note that this "gang" is being very careful not to anger a certain segment of the U.S. population (I'm not talking about our citizens). Senate bill S744 is pretty much a replay of the 1986 bill and its amnesty. That has worked so well that we now have four times as many illegal immigrants. (It must be noted that the control provisions of that bill have not been executed). You cannot stop illegal immigration by rewarding illegal immigration.
Some people don't like the term "illegal alien." If your presence here is illegal and you are from a nation other than the U.S., by definition you are an "illegal alien." Some prefer the term, "undocumented alien." The fact is that most "illegal aliens" have documents. The problem is those documents are forged and/or stolen. "Identity theft" is probably the largest and fastest growing crime in America. Victims of identity theft are subjected to long, expensive, and agonizing efforts to clear their records. A favorite target is children. Their violated records may not be discovered for many years making reconciliation arduous and expensive.
Illegal immigration has an effect on every thread of the fiber of the United States. On labor needs, employment, and other economic and domestic conditions in the United States as well as our social, and demographic profile, and our natural resources. If we are to remain "the light upon the hill," we must stop this insanity. No nation can sustain its identity or sovereignty with open borders. We don't have to prove our "humanity" by destroying our own country. America's contributions to the world in the forms of military, economic, medical, and humanitarian assistance are well known. If we degrade America, all these will be diminished to the detriment of all.

What's in the name 'Francis?'
The choice of a name by a newly elected pope is an announcement of his agenda
What's in the name 'Francis?' The choice of a name by a newly elected pope is an announcement of his agenda Check out this story on delawareonline.com: http://delonline.us/1KnFa4w
Religion News Service Published 5:52 p.m. ET Sept. 19, 2015 | Updated 6:07 p.m. ET Sept. 19, 2015
Pope Francis receives the Ring of the Fisherman at his inauguration in 2013. The ring is a symbol of the office and is named after St. Peter the Apostle, considered the first pope.(Photo: alberto pizzoli, / AFP/Getty Images)
He could have chosen Paul. Or Clement. Or Pius. Or even Innocent — names all adopted by earlier popes, all well-known figures.
But when Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected pope on March 13, 2013, he picked a new name: Francis. It was a choice designed to send a clear message that he would be a new kind of pontiff with his own ideas for the world's 1.2 billion Catholics.
"The choice of a name by a newly elected pope is an announcement of his agenda," says Nancy Dallavalle, an associate professor of religious studies at Fairfield University, in Conecticut. "In choosing Francis, Bergoglio sent a very direct message — change of course ahead."
The choice was startling from the beginning. The College of Cardinals, the body that elects one of its own as pope, held five rounds of voting over two days. When it reached the required two-thirds majority, a cardinal appeared on the balcony above St. Peter's Square and proclaimed, "Habemus papam!" ("We have a pope!") followed by the name that new pope had taken: "Franciscum."
The throngs below cheered, but were confused. They clearly heard the Latin form of Francis, but which Francis? There had never been a Francis before. Was the new pontiff taking the name of St. Francis de Sales, the 16th-century bishop of Geneva known for his spiritual writings? Or was he honoring St. Francis Xavier, one of the first Jesuits, the order of priests to which Bergoglio belonged?
In fact, as the new pope revealed a few days later at a news conference with 5,000 journalists from around the world, he chose the name in honor of St. Francis of Assisi, a 13th-century Italian nobleman who shunned his family's wealth and spent his life among the leprous and the poor, living even more simply than they did, in a rock hovel. He founded the Order of Friars Minor, also called the Franciscans.
The pope said he was moved to take the name by his friend and fellow South American Cardinal Claudio Hummes. When it was clear during the voting that Bergoglio had won the papacy, Hummes hugged him, kissed him and said, "Do not forget the poor."
"That word, the poor, lodged in me here," Francis said, tapping his head. "It was then that I thought of St Francis. And then I thought of wars and about peace, and that's how the name came to me — a man of peace, a poor man.
Other cardinals suggested different names, such as Adrian, after a great reforming pope, and Clement, a sort of stick-in-the-eye to Pope Clement XIV, the 18th-century pontiff who suppressed the Order of Jesuits.
But Francis of Assisi, who was known as "il poverello" — the little poor man — resonated with him, Francis said. "How I would like a church of the poor, for the poor."
It is a name the pope has lived up to, in the eyes of many. He has upbraided bishops for their high-handedness, has made financial reforms at the Vatican and has personally moved among the poor, even washing the feet of some Italian inmates during Lent.
And his landmark encyclical, the highest teaching of the church, calling on Christians to protect and honor the environment linked caring for the Earth to caring for the poor. He even named it in honor of St. Francis, giving it the title Laudato Si', which is medieval Italian for "Praise Be" and a line from St. Francis' most renowned prayer, Canticle of Brother Sun.
The Rev. Robert Wister, professor of church history at Seton Hall University, says Pope Francis has also lived up to St. Francis' example in his personal lifestyle. He refused to move into the Apostolic Palace, the grand abode of his predecessors, choosing to remain instead in a Vatican guesthouse. Nor does he wear elaborate gold- and gem-encrusted vestments or wear the famous — and expensive — handmade red-leather papal shoes.
"He is much more normal," Wister says. "And I think it terrifies some of the high-living people in Rome. I think Francis is saying to all the bishops and priests, 'Keep it simple.' "

New York Medical Malpractice Lawsuit Changes Venues
Home Practice Areas Medical Malpractice New York Medical Malpractice Lawsuit Changes Venues
After her child suffered significant and permanent birth injuries, a New York resident filed a medical malpractice complaint against Lutheran Medical Center and several healthcare professionals. The New York medical malpractice lawsuit was originally filed on August 9, 2011 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. However, because Lutheran Medical Center operates with funds from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the healthcare professionals of the hospital are considered to be federal employees. Therefore, the complaint was moved to federal court.
It is currently proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, under Judge Raymond J. Dearie.

New York birth injury lawyers seek compensation
All Our Team
Erb's palsy can be the result of medical negligence. Patients who experience difficult deliveries, such as a breech presentation, require careful medical care. If the attending healthcare professionals fail to recommend a cesarean section for the baby's sake, birth injuries can occur as the shoulders are injured or the head twists during delivery. When this occurs, the patient may be eligible to file a medical malpractice lawsuit.
The plaintiff in this New York medical malpractice lawsuit could obtain compensation for her medical expenses and the ongoing care requirements of her daughter. If you or a loved one has been injured as a result of possible medical negligence, contact the expert legal team of The Sanders Firm. We offer free consultations for all medical malpractice complaints. Call us today at 1-800-FAIR-PLAY to discuss your case.
Lawsuit alleges negligent prenatal care
This New York medical malpractice lawsuit alleges that the healthcare professionals failed to provide adequate prenatal care and appropriate delivery of the minor child, which resulted in significant physical injuries and disability. The plaintiff went to Lutheran Medical Center to receive prenatal care. On March 3, 2005, she returned to the hospital to give birth.
According to the plaintiff's New York birth injury lawyers, the attending medical staff failed to appropriately inform her of her child's condition. The complaint further alleges the failure to fully inform the plaintiff as to her treatment options, including their potential risks and complications, and the failure to disclose alternative delivery methods to ensure the health of the minor child.
The complaint alleges that this New York mother would have chosen an alternative delivery method had she been fully informed of the risks to her daughter. Instead, the minor child suffered from permanent disability, significant nervous shock, emotional distress, significant physical pain, and Erb's palsy.
The plaintiff claims that she herself has suffered from physical pain, medical expenses, and lost wages as a result of her daughter's condition.
Erb's palsy, also called a brachial plexus birth injury, is a potentially severe condition that affects the brachial plexus. The brachial plexus refers to a group of nerves that controls the movements and sensations of the fingers, hands, and arms. Children with this type of birth injury can suffer from the loss of sensation in a limb, weakness, and even paralysis in a limb. Children with Erb's palsy are often unable to enjoy the same activities as other children.

Confusion reigns when Indians and Non-Indians attempt to involve themselves in the multi-faceted world of Canadian Indian Politics. What is happening today with the Idle No More movement requires understanding the present reality.
One must separate the Provinces from the National political systems and the Indian political bodies must be identified separately as well. This effort proves to be fairly basic yet many do not understand.
Reserves are all separate and unique, administered and run by federal government approved Band Councils.
Treaty Nations are separate from Band Councils and Reserves.
There are various Provincial Organizations also separate from Treaty Nations and Reserve Band Councils.
Then there is a National representative body called the Assembly of First Nations (AFM). This organization is only representative of Elected Band Council Chiefs of Reserve communities.
British Columbia is unique from all the other regions in Canada. Canadian Treaty making stopped prior to BC becoming a part of Canada. Therefore BC has next to no Treaties and today in their place there are Treaty Societies.
Due to this unresolved treaty and land settlement issue specific to BC, along with the desire of the resource companies to access unceded Indian territories, various Economic Development Organizations (EDO's) also participate in Indian Politics.
Finally there are the traditional hereditary systems of government in BC, which were previously outlawed, surviving today attempting to exert their influence into Indian politics.
Everyone of the actors in this uniquely Canadian drama wish to promote their perspective as being the rightful and legitimate voice for the Indian people.
Another aspect of Indian politics, not to be ignored, are the groups attempting to expose the crimes of Canada (and the British) committed against the Indian peoples. There are volumes of books, movies and manuscripts which attempt to enlighten the general population.
Writing about these issues exposes the writer to charges of bigotry, racism or challenges to the writers 'right' to address the topics. An Indian person faces charges of disrespecting traditions or elders. It is a minefield for all.
Almost all organizations horde their specific knowledge on their area of control or authority. Band Councils sometimes refuse to fully inform their own members or even their traditional leadership.
Treaty societies tend to micro manage all the releases of their operations while depending on the financial support of the BC Treaty Commission, the Provincial and the Federal government.
The AFN struggles in an attempt to remain relevant as it is the federally regulated Band Councils who provide their authority, along with funds provided by the federal government, which allow them to survive financially.
Indian Industrial or Economic Development Organizations depend on funds provided by resource extraction companies. Some are managed by Band Councils and others by Treaty Societies. Many accept substantial funds for exploration rights and access to traditional territories.
Seldom are the Indians themselves informed or consulted by these organizations. Just like the Band Councils, Treaty Societies and the AFN, the continual supply of money tends to guide the decision process and the actions of those involved.
There is only one group of Indians involved in Politics which receive no funding. These people beg and borrow, drive broken down vehicles and generally live in conditions considered to be third world.
They are the traditional hereditary peoples of the various Indian Nations; the people whose social structure was outlawed.
In effect it is still outlawed today as virtually none of the other political organizations assist. Many are complicit in continuing the subjugation of their own people. It is generally, and easily understood with the phrase, 'the oppressed becoming the oppressor of the oppressed.' It was a trait learned in the residential schools where a cooperative Indian child would 'squeal' on another to the priest or nun. The child would be rewarded. It is no different than the southern black slave who became the boss of the other slaves. His family would have their own cabin as long as he continued to oppress the oppressed.
This is likely the foundational principles of the Idle No More movement. Very few of the participants belong to any political organization. They are generally all struggling to survive themselves.
And the momentum is growing still. This will be the challenge for the money accepting politicians. The easy solution is to marginalize the effort, hope it goes away and continue to accept money to do nothing. The difficult thing to do would be to look deep inside and recognize the truth about Indian politics. That of accepting money to look good and talk pretty while doing the will and bidding of others.
After the Kitamaat Village elected Indian Act Chief, Steve Wilson, sold out his peoples land and rights through the BC Utilities Commission during a secret hydro electric power deal with Gordon Campbell, he complained in Court how his calls were no longer being answered by the Minister and deputy Minister.
"I was being treated persona non-grata" stated Wilson while under oath in the Terrace Courtroom on October 6, 2009. He complained about a visit to Harran's Lounge at the Fairmont Hotel where Mike de Jong pretended he didn't exist. "I could tell that he saw me and he didn't want to associate with me." This transpired after he sued the hereditary chiefs and peoples of the Haisla Nation when they challenged his authority and his councils admitted fraudulent use of a signature stamp.
Gitxsan negotiator and Treaty Society principles Elmer Derrick, Bev Clifton Percival, Gordon Sebastion and Jim Angus are facing the same 'persona non grata' future as their law firm, Bull Housser & Tupper filed papers in the Vancouver Court in early January stating they no longer represent the illegally operating society. The GTS (Gitxsan Treaty Society) has been engaged in a lawsuit against hereditary and traditional chiefs since 2008. Fortune Minerals is now attempting to coerce other Indian leaders to assist them with access to Klapppan Mountain so they can extract the coal.
The Tahltan elders blockaded the Telegraph Creek Band office for 9 and a half months to get rid of Indian Leader Jerry Asp, who in 1985 started the Tahltan Nation Development Corporation (TNDC). Today he still has significant influence in the BC Mining Association having received numerous awards. He will receive the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal on March 5 in Toronto for assisting in providing access to the Tahltan territories for mining and exploration.
Last weekend in Terrace, at Kitsumkalum, hundreds gathered to celebrate the victory the Tahltan elders achieved after they got rid of Jerry Asp; saving the Sacred Headwaters from Royal Dutch Shell's fracking plans. It continues to be a struggle, an oxymoron or sorts, as every victory of the elders, the traditionalists and hereditary Chiefs is followed by more efforts by industry and government to belittle the efforts.
Today one of Gordon Campbell's previous Ministers, an associate of Mike de Jong (the man who apparently ignored Wilson), Roger Harris, has ingratiated Kitsumkalum elected chief Don Roberts. Roberts has been entertained on numerous occasions with Harris, politicians and CN representatives in Vancouver as they negotiated access to the rock in the mountain next to the homes in the Village of Kitsumkalum. Their recent agreement to get access to the rock doesn't even include the rock.
Who are they allowing to negotiate on their behalf? It was Roger Harris, an ex government Minister, an ex Enbridge Northern Gateway VP, the man who first signed the Enbridge deal with Elmer Derrick.
Only those who are accepting money from this quarry venture act pleased. One was straight faced as he stated he couldn't hear the blasting, even though he lived just a few blocks away; a straight line to the quarry. An absurd claim as residents miles away are shaken by the blasts required to release the rock. It remains to be seen when, not if, Roberts will also be considered 'person non grata' by the politicians.
Kitsumkalum complained we didn't write about the atrocious logging practices of Coast Tsimshian Resources (CTR) along with Wayne Drury from Brinkman and Associates. And they are correct in their assessment yet the Terrace City Council and the politicians accepted their application (April 2011) to be awarded a "GreenTech" award from the Association of Technologists of BC. Anyone who knows finds this laughable at best. But again, they too do as they are told for money. Lots of allegations of mis-appropriation surrounds some of these people.
And that is the world of Indian politics. As long as one, as an elected or appointed Indian leader, does the bidding of the governments of Canada and of the resource extraction companies, the money will continue to flow. The leader will be wined and dined, treated like a member of the club. As soon as his or her usefulness is over they will be tossed aside like waste.
Traditionalists and the hereditary peoples generally always accept and care for their own because they are family. Not because they have a purpose they can be used for, but because they genuinely love each other. Even in poverty they will live in happiness and with humour.
Recently the Society called the Coastal First Nations announced they were no longer going to be able to attend the Enbridge Northern Gateway hearings as they had not been granted more money. They were given over $280,000 to participate and claim to have spent three times that much money engaging lawyers and studies.
The Idle No More movement has received no moneys except that which people spend on themselves to get to the rallies and make signs. They will likely continue to participate. For these Indians politics is not about money, it is about dignity truth and justice.
Canadians from Coast to Coast to Coast are banding together, Indians and Non-Indians. Even themselves, they are struggling to understand what they are doing, they seem to believe whatever it is; it is the right thing to do.
This might be the most difficult thing for political people to overcome; selling out morality and integrity for money. It has a history going back long before the beginning of Canada. The Canadian Government is at the forefront of this and some Indian politicians are participating. When one considers the desperation many Indian peoples endured all their lives one can understand and have compassion for their weakness. Respect is another thing altogether.
Even the politicians who they sell out to do not respect them. Just ask Steve Wilson. Wilson needs to get back into bed with them like Jerry Asp did and Elmer Derrick still aspires to do. It is like doing drugs. One keeps searching for the next hit of money to keep the high alive.
Idle No More has unified the people where the Provincial and Federal government has been funding different organizations to keep the people divided.
Every year there appears to be another representative group acting separate and apart from the rest. Maybe that is what is behind Idle No More - everyone coming together as one, no longer allowing themselves to be used, one against the other, for money.

Q: A Way to move an instance to another class in javascript I was actually practicing creating classes and instances of them using the new keyword and this came to my mind.
Suppose I have a superclass called Customers and I have two subclasses which are newCustomers and specialCustomers.
Suppose that I have a new customer called bob ==> var bob = new newCustomer();
and I have a special customer called smith ==>>
var smith = new specialCustomer();

How can I write a method that when assigned to bob, it moves him from being a newCustomer instance to a specialCustomer instance?
like for example, what code should I write to make this work:
bob.moveToSpecial() //moves bob from being instance of newCust to specialCust

A: An object is not an instance of a class, an object has a prototype based upon the constructor called.
What you can do (although it may lead to side-effects) is changing the prototype of that object:
bob.__proto__ = specialCust.prototype;

Read about the warnings when doing this here: https://developer.mozilla.org/de/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/proto
A better way is to create a new object and move all properties from bob there:
newBob = new specialCust();
for(var prop in bob){
    newBob[prop] = bob[prop];
}

Be aware that in both cases, bob loses his "inherited" methods and properties from the old prototype, although in the latter case only the non-enumerable ones (as stated in the comments). The enumerable ones will get copied and bound to the new object directly, possibly overriding inherited methods, so be aware of that, too.
Also worth reading: https://reinteractive.com/posts/235-es6-classes-and-javascript-prototypes
[edit] Example code with Object.keys:
newBob = new specialCust();
Object.keys(bob).forEach(function(prop){
    newBob[prop] = bob[prop];
});

Why NOT to settle in relationships
Writer: Women shouldn't settle for "Mr. OK" instead of "Mr. Right"
Friend told her to marry "the person who gets on your nerves the least"
Another woman dumps boyfriend to look for someone more interested in her life
Potential spouse who has great personal resume may be hell to live with
Next Article in Living »
By Judy McGuire
(The Frisky) -- When I questioned a friend about why she was marrying a guy whom she found only mildly attractive, didn't enjoy having sex with and wasn't in love with, she told me this: "Marriage isn't about love, it's about finding the person who gets on your nerves the least."
Settling for someone you don't hate -- but also don't love -- may not work out in the long run, says author.
I recall being both horrified and saddened by her cynicism. But as I pondered it further, I wondered if she might have a point.
I was single at the time. A long-term relationship had gone bust a few years earlier and after a hyper-extended mourning period I'd been dating a seemingly non-stop parade of utterly unsuitable suitors.
Among many others, there was the semi-psychotic Eastern-European sculptor, the much-younger scientist-type, the guy who still lived with his girlfriend, and the non-committal bike messenger with substance-abuse issues.
So when I met a seemingly normal finance guy who took me out for expensive dinners and drove me around in his BMW, I talked myself into giving it a go. He wasn't super hot, but then again, neither was I. So what if his favorite book was "The Fountainhead"; I needed to quit being such a book snob. Who cares if he brought up pre-nuptial agreements on our second date -- at least the word marriage was part of his vocabulary. The Frisky: What's your dating type?
But as I lay awake after we'd clumsily consummated our budding relationship, I couldn't stifle the all-consuming feeling of dread that washed over me. What had I done? Was I really that lonely? Or worse, desperate?
Last year The Atlantic ran an essay by writer Lori Gottlieb, wherein she claimed, "every woman I know -- no matter how successful and ambitious, how financially and emotionally secure -- feels panic, occasionally coupled with desperation, if she hits 30 and finds herself unmarried." Her advice to women still holding out for a great guy: settle for an okay dude. The Frisky: To settle or not to settle?
The Frisky: When your significant other becomes a smoker
The Frisky: How how long to wait before getting engaged
The Frisky: Is it a p roposal if there isn't a ring?
Thirty-three-year-old Alicia, a New York-based floral designer, had been with her boyfriend Fred for four fairly miserable years when she met someone else. "He was tall, hot, British and made me realize I wasn't dead inside."
Though nothing ever happened with the Brit, meeting him made her something was missing in her relationship.
"He hates change so I knew he would never leave me," she told me. "But meeting the other guy made me realize that I wanted to be able to talk to my significant other. I wanted to be with someone who at least acts like he's interested in my life and thinks I'm smart and cool." The Frisky: How to know when it's time to dump him --
Thus enlightened, Alicia promptly dumped Fred. However not everyone thinks she did the right thing. "I went to my gynecologist and she asked if Fred was still in the picture. When I told her no, she scolded me saying, 'No man is ever going to meet all your needs -- can you tolerate him?'"
A year later, Alicia remains single and dating, and despite what Gottlieb claimed in her piece, absolutely does not appear to be either "in denial" or "lying" when she says she's never been happier. The Frisky: Why I'm not envious of my engaged friends --
As I slid out of my great-on-paper guy's bed and tiptoed out the door (shady, I know!), my dread was replaced by relief. Back in my apartment with only my cat for company, I realized that I'd become rather accustomed to being alone and while I wasn't ecstatic 24/7, I was actually pretty happy. I loved my friends and family (and my kitty!) and I knew I'd be okay if my life stayed the way it was.
Of course then six months later I screwed it all up by meeting a great guy who I love to pieces. Oh, and my friend who married the guy who didn't get on her nerves -- she's now divorced.
Settle? I don't think so.

We aim to give trainees responsibility and client involvement working under the supervision of Partners or other Lawyers to enable them to become a successful Solicitor upon qualification.

Our Trainee Solicitors will be assigned to different Supervising Partners who will provide exposure to a wide variety of cases and clients.
Throughout the Training Contract, there will be regular reviews with the Supervising Partner at three month (mid-seat) and six month (end of seat) intervals to provide opportunity for two-way feedback and for personal development objectives to be agreed.
Our Trainee Solicitors will be given the opportunity to handle their own cases and particular matters from beginning to end, where possible and as soon as they and their Supervising Partner feel that they are competent to do so and that the Trainee Solicitor is sufficiently confident of their own abilities.
As a member of Law South, Barlow Robbins LLP has access to accredited courses provided specifically to meet the needs of the member firms. All of our Trainee Solicitors will attend the Professional Skills Course modules run by Law South with the cost met by Barlow Robbins LLP.

We seek to recruit high calibre graduates with 'A' levels in academic subjects.

The firm will make a £5,000 contribution towards the cost of the LPC payable directly to the LPC provider, plus an interest free loan for the balance of the fees, repayable over the two years of the training contract.
We consider trainees to be an investment in the practice's future. We aim to retain as many of our trainees as possible as newly qualified solicitors, if there are appropriate opportunities at the time of qualification, particularly those who have proved, during their training contract, that they are technically competent, committed, ambitious and have entrepreneurial skills.
