In this post, I will share some basic rest assured code that can be directly used in a project which can support Java, Page Object Model, TestNg, API testing, etc.
Starting with a basic class which will have generic variables, imports and other methods to be called as shown here.
Imports to make:-
These imports are from different libraries like org.testng, io.restassured and other java required imports.
This is a test framework which has n number of utilities and inbuilt ready to use annotations in itself. I have used org.testng.Reporter, org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod, org.testng.annotations.Optional and org.testng.annotations.Parameters in this class.
- org.testng.Reporter:- is for reporting, You need to set up a class to be called and this really depends whether you want to set reporting via testng or any other reporting mechanism.
- org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod:– As the name states this is used to call a method before each method.
- org.testng.annotations.Optional:– This annotation can be called where you see the parameters can be optional for example while calling any rest service some arguments, parameters can be optional and non-mandatory so those can lie under this annotation.
- org.testng.annotations.Parameters:- This annotation can be called for the parameters of rest service some arguments, parameters are the data providers which can be made configureable from the property file.
import static io.restassured.RestAssured.given; import java.io.IOException; import java.util.Random; import org.apache.commons.lang3.RandomStringUtils; import org.testng.Reporter; import org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod; import org.testng.annotations.Optional; import org.testng.annotations.Parameters; import io.restassured.RestAssured; import io.restassured.response.Response;
Setting variables
protected static String statusLine, body; static long timeInMs, statusCode; protected static Response response; /* This class will configure all the properties required for the set up of rest assured. * This will include host , port, cookies, auth token etc required to test any rest service.*/
Setting rest assured base, port and path
This method is the core which holds all the parameters required to set up rest assured.
Here, we are handling the case if any of the parameter falls under null or empty state then how shall the code will proceed.
// This method is picking properties like base, host, port from the property file. And setting that to the rest assured class. @BeforeMethod(alwaysRun = true) @Parameters({ "base", "host", "port" }) public static void restSetup(@Optional String r_base, @Optional String r_host, @Optional String r_port) { String port = r_port; String base_path = r_base; String base_host = r_host; if (port == null) { if (!property.getProperty("base.isEmpty()) { RestAssured.port = Integer.parseInt(property.getProperty("base_port")); } } else { RestAssured.port = Integer.valueOf(port); } if (base_path == null) { if (!property.getProperty("base_path").isEmpty()) { RestAssured.basePath = property.getProperty("base_path"); } } else { RestAssured.basePath = base_path; } if (base_host == null) { if (!property.getProperty("base_host").isEmpty()) { RestAssured.baseURI = property.getProperty("base_host"); } } else { RestAssured.baseURI = base_host; } }
In Configuration file, create 3 variables:
- base_port = 8086
- base_path =
- base_host = https://khyatisehgal.wordpress.com
In this way, we have created a Utility class in which we are setting up rest assured set up method. This method will be called every time before each method, and will pick property from config file hence making it configureable and dynamic.
Hope this will help in initial set up of service automation with java. Will share more post in continuation to proceed with the working of code.

Adventures at the local, cane drinks and ennui
Now if anyone knows anything about those neighbourhoods , it is the fact that there are alot of spoilt kids who do nothing but bum and have cash and time to burn.Now one of my best pals was tight with those people.His parents didn't lavish as much cash on him as the other kids so he had to hustle to make ends meet and I guess that's what made us be good pals as he was really down to earth.Anyway some enterprising soul decided to open a bar in the Loresho environs.The women of the local church (mother's union) were up in arms and I think they even demonstrated but since the appropriate licences and bribes were paid the joint was opened.For the first few months it was not uncommon for mothers to be found there looking for their wayward sons,daughters and husbands.It used to tickle me silly to be in the presence of a middle aged man telling us that we young uns were soft for letting our girls push us around and that he's the one who wears the pants in the house; only for the same zack to turn into a meek mouse when his wife would come and blast him for being a good for nothing and order him to follow her home.
What I used to fear about my boy, his name was Kibbz is the fact that this dude had the verbal skill to sell a Samburu in Nothern Kenya a tanning bed.More so he could even do the same with drunk people.I have a short string when it comes to drunk people as they don't reason very well, we only work well when I am under the influence too.Anyway back to the point at hand.I learnt that when I was visiting pals in Loresho, that if I passed by his area that I might as well carry a jacket as I would not be leaving soon or even that same day.I forgot to say that he was like an MP, you know those dudes who know everyone and by hanging out with him you get to know too many people by default.
What used to make my day is when to facilitate a quick escape I would go visit peeps at the local and tell them I was too broke to buy myself more then one drink (Of course I had the cash but I didnt want to be tied down).To counter this what he would ask me to give him the money I was going to use to buy the drink.He would then go and consult with his boys and they would have an adhoc harambee and buy a 750ml vodka bottle for the group.Seeing as I was not and am not a hard liqour fan, I would buy a soda to dilute my portion.Let me tell you I have never been begged for a tots of soda like I was during those times as people would rather save their cash for liqour and not soda but were more then happy to have some of mine.What would happen when you left to go to the loo is that someone who had too much vodka would add some of theirs to yours.So you would come back from the loo to find your drink more concentrated then you left it, after getting hammered a couple of times; I learned to have a bladder of steel.
We had many adventures but here is one.This adventure taught me never to go clubbing with people unless you have gotten to observe them before hand under the influence of alcohol.Now there was this young chic who was a pal of Kibbz' who really wanted to go clubbing with us.Other then seeing her in the hood once in a while I didn't know too much about her.Kibbz said that she was seemed like an o.k chic and since she said she would buy us a round or two we should take her with us.I didn't see a problem with that, later I would wish I did.The evening started well enough at the local.Everyone had a round or two to get us going.Most people were having beers but our guest decided to sample one of the brands that ended with the name cane, but like the rest of us she didnt seem the worse for wear.We went to a joint in Westlands (which will remain nameless) where we did the usual lap of honour and proceeded to get comfortable.What used to happen is that we would get one table but people would be free to roam around and do their thing.So when the young un wasnt with us long we didnt mind as she knew where to find us.It is when an hour or so, a crowd of 3 guys passed us saying "My guy!We have to see this mama!"
Hearing that we had to follow them and see what was up.To get to the site of the action, we see a crowd of dudes around a table and who is on the table?Yes you guessed it!The young un aka our guest.She was in the process of stripping to the music.She had already taken off her top and was working on the bra.Where were the bouncers at this time?Either they were watching or chatting outside.
So one of my pals grabbed her off the table as fast as possible despite the mob's protests and we took her to the ladies where we managed to get through her drunken state and convince her to put on her top.She did so and we decided to take her outside to sober up.As we were doing this she was telling us to buy her some liqour, of course we refused.So we left her sitting outside near the car with one of our pals for company and we went back in to finish our drinks.As I was drinking my beer I got that feeling you get in the gut of your stomach when something is going wrong.So I asked Kibbz to take me outside to check on the chic.On getting there we get here on the verge of shattering one of the cars windows with a large rock.Seems that she had noticed that we had a 1/3rd full bottle of vodka and she thought that was the fastest way to get to it.We managed to stop her and put her in the car.Where was our pal who was supposed to keep her company?Well he had decided to go round the block to buy some cigarettes.
So we all pile into the car and decide to go buy some fries and kuku porn to round off the night.The young un seemed to have sobered up at this point in time so we asked her to join us in the joint.We ordered our food and things seemed fine only for our meal to be interupted by her screaming!It seems that we had kidnapped her.It is at that point in time that I was thankful for Kenyan's apathy that sees them look on as you are beaten silly by muggers in the city streets.No-one in the establishment batted an eyelid so we were able to calm her down and make her realise who we were and why we were together.We took her home and boy were we glad to be rid of her.
The most ironic thing is that they next week she found us chilling out in the hood and asked us when we were going out next and if she could come.I am sure you could guess our response.
Speaking of cane drinks and the havoc the wreak, I should tell you the story about how one of my neighbours back home had a little more then she could handle and the resulting drama that had someone tell her, "If you are a teacher I feel sorry for the children."
On to ennui.My life doesn't suck but it is as boring as ever!I am tired of these long ass boring classes with the inane assignments.I am tired of my job!I am sick of this tired PC and I miss my fast Mac with it's big ass wide screen from my old job!Cable TV sucks!Internet has become mundane (blogs excepted from this comment!) I am sick of being broke!Aaaaargh!!!!!

LMAO. Daddy, that was tooo hilarious. I used to go that local in Loresho once in a while. It was a nice joint. it was a kidogo upscale local compared to the mabatini i grew up in. But safari cane is lethal. I should know since me and some jamaas chafuad a bottle a couple of weeks ago. I am still shivering from the thought

Me thinks the "locals" drama is the same in all hoods on Kenya. But you forgot to mention that most bartenders and waitresses are mostly Kaoz (of from regions close to Ukambani) and the only music that booms thruogh the tiny ass speakers and tweeters is the likes of "Kilunda ni kise mbesaa...kilundaaaaaaa!" (ati your local has a resident DJ? Lies my guy!Lies!) After a while you even find yourself grooving to the Kao tracks! The other day a Kenyan pal of mine here in SA unleashed a katitu boys TAPE during a drinking session and lets just say that dingy pub dwellers wote walipatikana! Myself included.
As for young'ns being drunk and disorderly, some young chic I know from waaay back, I found her dancing on table tops on the hanye in December. Kushuka alikataa! Aftermath? She just gave birth to twins less than a month ago. Sad.

I used to pitia that joint sana when I was in Kenya until petrol went up and carjacking began to increase.After that mambo became Nairobi West.After colle I stopped drinking that poison, but I came to stato with 3 bottles for peeps to enjoy.

@ archer
I think kuyos also represent heavily in the waiter and barmaid/man segment.But if you dunda at those joints huko Mombasa rd karibu athi river, you will find kao staff and katitu mboys is the order of the day.
Many tao joints with resident DJs qualify as locals ie Hornbill in Nai is a local if you ask me.
As for young uns misbehaving on the rave I have seen it many a time and as in your case some who are with child and feel jack!What is a local bila drama once in a while?
- 11:53 AM, July 20, 2006
sikoka. the plot thickens.
uDI From mabatini to sikoka u must have been being hosted by an anangwe brother .which one ! still under debate.

Sounds like you've had your share of adventures! After reading the storo of the young chic who got drunk and out of control, I strongly agree that you shouldn't go out with someone till you know how they handle alcohol. I stay away from those -cane drinks. I feel you on Macs. I'm using an old one now but I really want one of those new Mac/intel laptops. Summertime tends to drag on, esp. when taking classes. Hang in there!

LOL at Kilunda ni kisee mbesaa.... That song irks me every time I hear it n Daytona has a way of playing it any time I'm in that vicinity...pfftttt
As for knowing peeps before you go out with them, I agree...lest you find yourself having a fab old time at Ka-choi only for some 'person' who's a pals'pal you bebad along to the club to throw up all over the back of your pants..saa hizo sijui they had kulad some green sh** that smells like sth the cat picked in the garbage can.
Yes, cheka tu, it'll happen to you one day :-)
- 6:38 AM, July 21, 2006
@ joe
Yes I do know sikoka and culture intimately!Don't take it the wrong way, there are productive peeps in Loresho too but there were bums too!As for cash to burn I would think that Loresho folks would be doing better in that department,correct me if I'm wrong.
@ milo
I doubt she would have been on that table for 1 min if it was Qs.Yes she didnt puke in the moti but that reminds me of another story...
@ Girl Next Door
I can chomoa stories mpaka kesho!There are some people who do a total 180% once they have some alcohol in them, so you have to observe lest drama breaks out!Mac rock but the cost,aiii!Just 2 weeks to go!
@ jadekitten
Woooiii!My dear you were given oral shower!Pole!I have seen it happen and it is not a funny thing.That reminds me of the day some idiot puked on the hood of my moti and I found the mess as I emerged from the club,sukuma tupu!Yuk!!!!!

@joe- LMAO. Anash is my boy to death. That is why i was able to frolock from mabatini to the locals of Loresho in the spur of the moment
- 1:12 PM, July 21, 2006
Where do i start about crazy pals on the rave:
Well, there was one who after getting drunk and start fighting with everyone within her armreach.
Another would drink, get high and get on the tables, bouncers would have to come and get her down.
The other one is passed out over the bathroom sink and i have to take her outside for fresh air.
There's another one who is asking for people's shoes so that he can puke in them.
The one who passed out while we were driving to the rave, has now woken up and already on his 3 bottle.
There's one passed out on the table.
It's time to leave and one pal has disappeared with the dj to the back room.
- 3:06 PM, July 21, 2006
@ udi
I see you are well connected!
@ kelitu
If my raves had all that much drama I wouldnt be clubbing at all!You are a strong woman to deal with that drama!
- 10:35 AM, July 22, 2006
My Pals were mad!! But i loved them all the same. The drama would make for great stories the next day. Telling people how they were misbehaving and seeing the shock on their face- priceless!
- 1:59 PM, July 22, 2006
@ kelitu
I do agree that some crazy pals are fun but there are some on the other hand who are not worth the drama at all!I will tell stories of some of those pals in the near future!
- 4:05 PM, July 22, 2006
@ Acolyte, someone upchucked what on your motor?? Skums???
Man i swear i peed a little laughing when i read that. You should quit keeping you ride so clean and tidy, dude probably thought it needed some colour!
Incidentally i just stumbled upon your blog, good things i see though. I think i recall your dogtag from the Kiss community website, you one and the same?
- 7:39 AM, July 23, 2006
@ Silver
It was not fun having to wash that car at 6 am in the morning!It's always good to have guests.Yes I used to be a member on the Kiss Fm forum,dunno where it disappeared to though.

I swear aco, I know you. Ati springi, that was like my crwod for ages but lets us not name names since we are not annonymous. Me I used to do a litre of safari in a day, or so this pointie dude from the veve used to accuse me of.
I kumbuka drinking safari with pop corn in sarit, those were interesting days...and the women...dayum.
Everyone had a big ass surname, I remember this mama I told in JKays that she has never heard of my surname but I have more money than her daddy, of course she threw at me the standard question peeps ask a young kenyan who is making it: are you doing drugs?
Interestingly,that chicks surname, which was big then, become far too big to mention here. And her digs is off peponi road so maybe you know who it is.
@ Udi: ala, the Anangwes, i used to go to Sikoks with Pato...lol. It is funny how Nairobi is a small city. Everyone knows everyone if you drink!
When i am in Nairobi I still go to sikoka for senators. The crowd hasn't changed, guys just got older but still live with their folks.
- 7:10 AM, July 26, 2006
seems KBW is growing smaller and smaller.I have met peeps in KBW whom we share quite a bit in common with!
Those days of kencelly and safcom as we used to call those cane brew were the times I used to have a liver of steel.But I gracefully retired and left the scene for the young guns.
But as for Sarit the mamas there then and even now..Damn!!!
I remember chics them days who wouldnt date you if your surname didnt ring a bell.I think I know the chic you are talking about.
I feel you about peeps still living with their folks themsides.I know a dude who even has a kid and for sometime till they split up the baby mama used to live in the digs with the famo, this was huko Loresho.
- 9:05 AM, July 26, 2006
wacheni siasa mingi i dont live in loresho but its not like its different from anyother hood in kenya. peeps are all the same from korogocho to muthaiga .lavi to laini saba
- 1:51 PM, July 27, 2006
@ Anon
That was a point I was trying to bring out as Joe thought that there are no bums and layabout in Loresho (or something to that effect) and I pointed out that it isnt the case.That there isnt much diff with that hood and other hoods.

Peter Vogel: What are the major technical issues in creating add-ins for Visual Studio?
Oleg Stepanov: I won't go into detail about how complicated it is to create code analysis technology working in real time as a user enters code in the editor. Instead, let's talk about VS integration. The first thing one must remember when integrating with Visual Studio is that it is still mostly a single-threaded C++ COM application. So you have to mind CCW-s, RCW-s, message loops and STA.
One specific thing I should mention is that Visual Studio uses a lot of different allocators to gain memory, and this quickly fragments the virtual address space. As a result, at some point CLR is no longer able to allocate a continuous block of memory for its heap even though the there's still memory available in small chunks. This forced us to rethink some of our memory allocation patterns and even move out some of the data structures to an external process.
PV: Were there any special issues in getting out the new version of ReSharper for VS 2010?
OS: The most visible innovation in VS 2010 is of course the new shiny WPF code editor. We spent a good chunk of time just moving to the new API. Keeping in mind that ReSharper 5 supports a range of Visual Studio versions from 2005 to 2010, we had to make sure our abstraction layer over the VS API works consistently across the different versions of Visual Studio.
Another change, though not that visible, was the adoption of Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) to manage components in Visual Studio, which has also become a new integration point for us. Happily, the VS development team was very helpful in the course of integrating ReSharper with Visual Studio 2010. They fixed a number of issues which were affecting us and generally helped us to improve stability and performance of ReSharper.
Posted by Peter Vogel on 06/21/2010 at 1:16 PM
We reported that Visual Studio 2019 v16.7 Preview 2 -- released early last month -- sported a C++ focus, and that holds true for Preview 3.
While the latest TIOBE Index of programming language popularity isn't earth-shaking -- focusing on an all-time high for statistical language R -- perhaps the the biggest surprise is this: Classic Visual Basic (VB6) is still in the top 20.
Turning his attention to the extremely time-consuming task of machine learning data preparation, Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research explains how to examine data files and how to identify and deal with missing data.
Amazon Web Services introduced a tool to help its cloud computing users port their .NET Framework apps to .NET Core, the open source, cross-platform successor to the 18-year-old, Windows-only legacy framework.

CALGARY — Progress Energy Resources shares dropped 12 per cent Monday in their first trading after Ottawa blocked a proposed $6-billion takeover by Malaysian state-owned oil company Petronas.
Other Canadian energy players with deals in the works — notably, Nexen Inc. (TSX:NXY) and Celtic Exploration (TSX:CLT) — were also dragged down by the surprise news that broke just before midnight on Friday.
Around mid-morning Progress (TSX:PRQ) was down $2.60 to $19.05.
Nexen, whose $15.1-billion takeover by China National Offshore Oil Co is subject to the same key net benefit test that nixed the Petronas-Progress deal, was off about five per cent to $23.84.
A review of the CNOOC-Nexen deal by Industry Minister Christian Paradis is set to end on Nov. 11, though it can be extended by 30-day increments with the buyer's consent.
Shares in Celtic, which agreed last week to be taken over by U.S. powerhouse ExxonMobil Corp. (NYSE:XOM), were down two per cent to $25.67. Unlike the other two deals, ExxonMobil is a publicly traded independent company with a decades-long history of operating in Canada.
Paradis didn't say why he decided Petronas' take over of Progress was wasn't of net benefit to Canada — a test widely criticized for its lack of clarity and consistency.
Representatives of Progress and the Malaysian state-owned oil company Petronas said Monday they'll meet with Industry Canada officials to find out more about the government's decision.
Petronas has 30 days to amend its deal and send it back to Ottawa for review.
Analysts at CIBC World Markets give 25 per cent odds to the deal being saved and say there's a 50 per cent chance another multinational oil company comes along if the Petronas deal fails.
After Progress accepted Petronas' initial $20.45-per-share offer this summer, another unidentified bidder swooped in with a rival bid. Petronas trumped the competing offer by sweetening its bid to $22 per share.
If the Petronas deal falls through, the likes of ExxonMobil or U.K. gas giant BG Petroleum are potential buyers.
CIBC said it's not likely the government's quibbles centred around things like job promises or reciprocal market access, suggesting the decision may have had more to do with Ottawa positioning itself for the much more politically troublesome CNOOC-Nexen deal.
One theory is that the government will ultimately approve a tweaked Progress-Petronas deal, but wants to make it look like its' being tough on foreign investment so that it has more credibility when it waves through the CNOOC-Nexen one.
"Another theory is that the government does not want to be seen as anti-China and easily approving the Progress-Petronas deal would make it look like the government's issue is primarily with China as opposed to the national oil company business model and other concerns."
Either way, the analysts say it's "bad news for Canada."
"Global investors have already been struggling with why they need to own Canadian energy and this announcement clearly does not help," they said.
"After years of healing the wounds introduced by the Alberta government's disastrous royalty review and the royalty trust termination, the last thing global investors needed was a reminder that Canada is a risky political environment."

Editorial: On National Night Out and every day, local police let the community in
By Richard Gaw
In Toughkenamon and West Grove last Tuesday evening, as part of the annual National Night Out celebration, members of the Southern Chester County Regional Police Department played with neighborhood children on police bicycles, as if they were children themselves.
For that one evening, volunteer firefighters and EMS professionals from the West Grove and Avondale fire companies looked at their red and yellow vehicles with eyes of wonder and flights of fancy, and for a moment, they remembered that the childhood dreams they had to one day be able to climb in those massive trucks had come true.
Across the United States on Aug. 7, the walls and regimen that very often keep our police and firefighters at a distance – real or imagined – fell to the ground. In that act of safe surrender, the efforts of many served to turn Toughkenmon and West Grove into a playground of common ground. Bands played. Local businesses came out of their brick and mortar comfort zones. Kids danced through moon bounces with a lightness of near flight. Police officers took up conversations with those who live in the neighborhoods they serve.
The impact of National Night Out is as ingenious as it is contagious, and when the Southern Chester County Regional Police Department began to construct the blocks of its foundation a few years ago, the events that took place last Tuesday evening served as the visual dream of that foundation. The dream is now a day-to-day reality, as well as a duty, and it doesn't end with National Night Out. Throughout the year, the department has formed a near-constant presence in the community.
The department will permit an adult with an interest in law enforcement to perform a ride-along with a police officer.
At schools, public meetings and local organizations, it is very common to see a member of the department speaking about public safety, or handing out awards for academic excellence or civilian good deeds.
The department is a regular fixture at all community events, and there's likely few children in Avondale, Landenberg, West Grove or Toughkenamon who haven't toured inside a department police vehicle or gotten to know an officer by name.
If the core values of the Southern Chester County Regional Department – under the direction of Chief Gerald Simpson and Deputy Chief Michael King – are Human Life, Integrity, Justice and Duty, then its dedication to seeking ways to connect with the community is next on that list of values.
Its appearance in Toughkenamon and West Grove last Tuesday evening – backed by the same presence of our local fire and EMS units – proves that. It is believed that the most honest way for police, fire and emergency services departments to incorporate themselves within the community they serve is to remove all barriers that subject it to scrutiny and misconception.
On Aug. 7, our regional police officers took off their cool glasses, celebrated their humanness and their vulnerabilities, and looked at every man, woman and child who came to celebrate with them as if they were about to sit down for family dinner.
And how safe is that?

Due for release in May/June next year, Office 2010 is the successor to Office 2007. So what's 'under the hood'? Is it worth the wait?
A key change is the overall strategy for the Office brand. Microsoft calls this 'the three screens strategy' which is the ability for products to synchronise across the phone, browser, and desktop.
A major departure in response to Google's Apps product is that Microsoft is rolling out lightweight, free, web browser versions of Word, PowerPoint, Excel and OneNote. These will have limited functionality compared to the desktop products.
Microsoft is streamlining the number of Office editions from eight to five.
Here are the product specific highlights
If you use video in your presentations Powerpoint will have a basic video editing option and a live sharing feature.
Spreadsheets can now run in the web browser. Although the browser version of Excel has limited features it offers more functionality than Google Spreadsheets. Like Google Spreadsheets you can also share Excel via the browser with other users and set special permissions on who can access the document.
A key change is for multiple users to be able to edit documents at the same time. When two people are editing the same document (in the desktop version) at the same time, Word will notify each user when there are changes that need to be synced with their document.
To make moving around a long document easier, Word now has a visual navigation pane and section header breakdown which makes it easy to jump around different sections of a document.
It now has a ribbon user interface, like Word, PowerPoint and Excel. Users will also have a more visual view of sent and incoming emails. Search functionality has been improved as well, making it much easier to find content.
We'll keep you updated on the latest developments with Office 2010. If you have any questions on your options and the costs/benefits of upgrading please contact us.

So after countless meetings and figuring out how much budget you can allocate to that new software development project, you have opted not to take matters in-house, and you are shopping for a software development company to make your plans a reality.
Now what?
Let's face it. Not everyone knows how to choose a technical software development company. Every project is different, and it can be time consuming and difficult to make the right choice.
Businesses like yours all operate differently, and it is important to find a software development company that will be able to work in a way that is compatible with what you do. And depending on the department within your company that is facilitating your software development project, staff might have a very limited understanding of the more sophisticated technical aspects of a project.
Marketing departments are often at the helm of software creation projects, however their focus is design and many of the scope-creep causing finer technical details of any given software development project may simply be out of their wheelhouse, so to speak.
With that in mind, here are a handful of factors that a business may want to consider before selecting software development companies – corporateinteractive.com.au.
3 Things to Consider Before Outsourcing your Software Development
1. What Software Do You Currently Use?
Often when it comes to software development, you're going to need your new proposed software to be able to "talk" to existing legacy systems. Before any specialized software development vendor is ever selected, the first question to ask them is if they are proficient with a particular piece of legacy software and how they intend to grapple with it.
More often than not a software vendor will hire an additional third-party consultant to work on your project, which can add more costs to your project. In some cases this is the only way to go –and that's all fine and dandy, as long as your software development company is transparent about it.
2. Case Studies and Live Referrals
Software development is a tricky business, and no matter how hard a particular software development vendor tries to sell you a solution or build trust with you –nothing works better than speaking to a previous client (and that previous client being a reputable, well-known company certainly doesn't hurt).
Ask your prospective software development company for some case studies or access to a real client. This is not unheard of in the software industry.
3. Software Development Process
Different software development companies work in different ways, and it is important that you understand how these methods will impact your project. One such company that understands this is Telstra and Corporate Interactive.
In the past, the "waterfall" development process was the norm, however in recent years, a phased "agile" approach has surpassed the former in terms on time to market, cost effectiveness, and efficiency. Make sure you know the difference between these two software development methodologies before you begin any development project.

- It is believed that caffeine present in coffee helps in reducing excess fat in the body.
- Typically, after painzing, muscle pain is felt. People who drink coffee before exercising, they have less muscular pain. Coffee is considered to be fuel for athletic muscle.
- It is also believed that drinking a regular coffee can improve blood circulation. The reason behind this is that caffeine increases the production of adrenaline, which is helpful in improving the blood circulation of muscles and heart.
- Mental Focus and Extra Energy are required while exercising hard. It is believed that by drinking black coffee, the requirement of these two is fulfilled, and the memories of the coffee makers are also very fast.
- It is important to have feet to perform exercise and drinking coffee is less likely to fall sick.

Being more aggressive toward renewable energy sources makes sense
Florida and its utility companies are headed in the right direction when it comes to renewable energy. The state ranks in the top 10 nationally for installed solar power (eighth) and total solar photovoltaic capacity (10th) with even more solar farms in the works.
Among them: A 1,200-acre, 74.5 megawatt field of solar panels sprawled across a Samsula sod farm in Southeast Volusia County that should be operational later this month — one of four new solar energy centers Florida Power & Light expects to go live this year.
[READ: Samsula solar farm a sign of power to come]
Florida needs more. The state is still heavily reliant on oil and natural gas, with renewable energy fueling less than 3 percent of the state's electricity generation, according to a 2018 U.S. Energy Information Administration report.
Being more aggressive toward renewable energy sources makes sense, environmentally and economically. The cost of solar and wind systems are falling, and they're becoming more efficient. Renewable energy sources are the wave of the future and getting out in front of them now will reap real benefits down the road.
FPL has a strong leadership role: In fact, it may be one of the most aggressive utility companies pursuing renewable energy. Duke Energy has also announced plans to add more solar capacity in the state. It's hard to make a cross-state journey and not see solar farms along the way.
The expansion of solar farms is even more impressive when considering the challenges utility companies face in Florida. As The News-Journal's Dinah Voyles Pulver reports, salty breezes off the ocean can corrode solar panels and humidity — a summer staple in Florida — in the air can refract light and make it less powerful.
And other than beachside, believe it or not, Florida is not as breezy as one might think. Much of the state lacks the steady, high-quality onshore winds required to adequately spin turbines. But hope may be on the way. Emerging taller wind turbines may be able to capture the high-altitude wind resources, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Offshore turbines are another consideration, but they're pretty unsightly for a state that makes it living off tourism — and difficult to make hurricane-proof.
Hydropower is the most efficient way to generate electricity, but it's not a viable option for relatively-flat Florida and its wide variety of salt and freshwater species living in its waters. Tapping into ocean currents could be an out-of-the-box approach, and Florida Atlantic University's Southeast National Marine Renewable Energy Center reached an agreement with Lake Worth to test this with turbines in the Gulf Stream currents. That technology won't be ready quickly.
That takes utilities (and Florida homeowners) back to solar and wind as likely leading candidates for moving quickly toward renewable energy production.
There's one resource state officials can explore: Florida's huge inventory of undeveloped, government-owned land that isn't currently in use for recreation or environmental projects. Could some of this land can be opened to wind farms, using high-altitude wind turbines that won't greatly affect vegetation and animal life below, and provisions for protecting birds? Is there a way to install banks of solar panels without clear-cutting land or damaging habitat?
Finally there are homeowners. With costs going down and tax credits looming, renewable energy is becoming a viable option.
Florida is definitely charging forward. Renewable energy is where the country, and the world, are headed, and the Sunshine State — despite the challenges it faces — can be the leader.

Medicine, new technologies, and the future of rare disease treatments
Late this fall I had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Laurent Chiche about drug development in Europe. Dr. Laurent Chiche is a well-known physician and researcher at the Hôpital Européen Marseille, where he focuses on immunology and rare diseases such as Lupus.
In our first conversation we focused on the physicians' experiences with using and getting regulatory approval for unregistered treatments. In the second half of our conversation we discuss Dr. Chiche's current research, his hope for the future of rare disease treatments, and the role of patient associations in France.
Lisa Rebert: I read that you have undertaken something called the Lupus Living Lab, which aims to take research out of the lab and bring all those technologies to the patient. Can you tell me more about this and how it colors your stance on using new treatments and technology with patients?
Dr. Laurent Chiche: The idea is very simple. In our Lupus studies, for example, we know that some group of patients will respond to the drug, but the statistics won't be significant (and thus an approval would fail). Yet we would like to objectively document the response of patients when you identify something like a modification in response to diet or a new drug. Ultimately this could help to explain why some treatments work in some patients.
When we try new drugs, for safety reasons, we see patients every week or every two weeks, but in-between we don't have much insight into what's happening. Hence the Living Lab is here to help follow the patients throughout the entire process — even between visits to the physician or specialist.
For Lupus, we have developed a connected device (i.e., to measure UV exposure), a patient platform to measure quality of life things, and some home technologies (i.e., a finger prick device to draw blood) to detect molecular and microbiome modifications. This could be expanded to other immunological and rare diseases, but really any disease could be a good target for this kind of approach. We do this already in research, but we think that it could be interesting to try this in a clinical trial to help measure efficacy.
Lisa: What other projects are you current working on?
Dr. Chiche: Currently we are trying to improve the management of side effects from new, innovative cancer drugs. A lot of patients at our center and others are receiving new therapies for cancer and the side effect of these new treatments — that will likely replace a lot of chemotherapy — will be autoimmune diseases.
It's a paradox, but all these rare diseases we see infrequently are going to be more common as side effects of these new cancer drugs. So we're trying to improve the management and screening of patients in this regard and improve the knowledge of oncologists who know little about autoimmune diseases.
Lisa: Shifting topics slightly, I'd like to now discuss the role of patients and related disease advocacy groups. Given the role these groups played in the eventual approval of Sarepta's drug for DMD in the US, how would you characterize the role of patient associations in France?
Dr. Chiche: When it comes to patient associations in France, they are not as well-organized as those in the United States. Plus, in France we don't have a strong culture of lobbying in any field. While some associations are becoming more active, I think in France most of the associations depend on working with a group of physicians. In other words, patients don't act alone. Most of the time, within the patient associations there will be a scientific council with key academic persons from the field to help determine what research to fund. But I have to admit that this is not my field of expertise given that I have no direct experience working with a patient association in negotiations to access an off-label drug.
More generally, I think the field faces this issue of new drugs not getting approved because patients have higher expectations than can often be delivered upon. Why? Because patients are looking to what's happening in the US and China and they are starting to ask us for any possibility. Sometimes they can even obtain drugs available elsewhere via the internet. For me, the problem is that the medical system won't go for that. So people will use such medications by themselves without any coaching or medical advice — which is unsafe. Therefore, a solution could be that some rare disease centers should have special permission or exceptions to help obtain data to provide scientific evidence.
Lisa: Given what you've described above, what kind of additional support could rare disease physicians and doctors like you use?
Dr. Chiche: With cancer, you have Stage 1 very early trials for very specific drugs for patients that have no other alternatives. So in cancer it is considered more understandable or suitable to act with exceptions. And yet with other rare conditions patients may have the same quality of life as with cancer. For specific rare disease patients, I think we should be able to give them the possibility to test a medicine, but with medical control. Furthermore, I think physicians and researchers need access to an updated list of condition-specific protocols and ongoing trials so as to be able to orient patients that have no further standard therapeutic alternatives. Right now, current tools simply aren't user-friendly enough.
Lisa: And what do you think is the most promising aspect of European new medicine development for rare diseases?
Dr. Chiche: For rare diseases, I think it is CRISPR technologies — the use of 'molecular scissors' to edit the genome. And it's starting to be used in the clinic. Last week, a patient in China received immune cells that were modified using this technique in-vitro and then injected back into their body. And so basically, they are trying to program the cells of the patient to do the same job as drugs used to do.
But you can imagine that you will be able to cure a lot of genetic diseases with this approach. I think these kinds of gene editing technologies will revolutionize the treatment of rare diseases. If you combine that with the possibility to screen for a lot of mutations, that will be a very important revolution from the perspective of the patient. So we need to take more DNA sequences from European people so that we can have quality comparison points. Generally speaking, we need more genetic data and more genetic screening.
This is part two of a two-part interview series with Dr. Laurent Chiche. In this segment, we've discussed what new technologies in medicine — from real-time tracking to gene-editing — mean for the future of rare diseases, specifically through the lens of Dr. Laurent Chiche's current research.

Communication, ethics and anthropoethics
The purpose of this article is to dream of – in the sense of establishing – the utopian perspective of a scenario that remains utopian but which nonetheless provides the first indications that we may be entering a new paradigm, that of communication-ethics, that is to say, the ethical dimension of communication, which in this case is not restricted to technological advancements but concerns communication with ethics and as ethics, to conclude that without ethics, there is no communication and by extension, no genuine mankind nor genuine humanity. Communication and ethics therefore appear inseparable; one cannot exist without the other. The audacity of this ethical visionary lies in managing to perceive more than just technological marvels, but also to appreciate the paradigm of anthropoethics entering the realm of the concrete, that is to say, ethics for mankind and for humanity, as conceived of by Apel, Habermas and Morin.

I have been working on a navbox for dragons in my Sandbox. It currently looks like this:
Chromatic: Red • Black • Blue • Green • White • Brown • Gray • Purple
Gem: Amethyst • Emerald • Sapphire • Topaz • Crystal
Lung: Chiang lung
Planar: Astral • Faerie • Shadow
Miscellaneous: Brainstealer • Prismatic • Radiant • Song • Vishap
Drakes: Guard • Portal • Smoke • Vulture
Draconic humanoids: Draconic creature • Dragonborn • Dragonborn of Bahamut • Dragonkin • Dragonspawn • Dragonwrought kobold • Drow-dragon • Half-dragon • Kobold • Urd • Zar'ithra • Zekyl
Undead dragons: Dracolich • Vampiric
There is an insanely high number of different dragons in D&D literature, which is expected, and not all of them are necessarily relevant to the Realms. For that reason I tried to keep only the types whose existence is mentioned (directly or indirectly) in FR sources, also to minimize the number of red links in the navbox.
For example, I didn't include all types of drake, but only those that I saw being specifically mentioned somewhere.
Now, my FR knowledge is limited to the sourcebooks, and even when checking those some type may have slipped up. Should any more types of dragons be included? Should any be removed?
Also, I made a design choice here by making the subsections collapsible, but expanded by default. My original idea was to program it to only expand the section that contains the type of dragon being linked to in the page this template is invoked (for example, it would leave only the True dragons section open in the gold dragon page, the Related creatures would be expanded in the dracolich page, and so on). However, I have no idea how to code that and a superficial Google search turned out empty. If anybody knows how to do this, I think it would look pretty cool.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
I like it.
Our policy is to comment out red links in navboxes. They can be uncommented when the pages are added.
I think I could probably code up the collapsiblity that you describe, but I wouldn't be able to get to it till the weekend.
Ah, and of course I like the template!
Yes, in the "Index of Dragons" in the 2nd appendix of the 3e Draconomicon: The Book of Dragons, they are explicitly categorized as Lung dragons.
I understand your frustration at this; here in the States we have a restaurant called Panera Bread, which is one of my favorite quick places to grab a bite—but Bread Bread? seriously?
I'll go through my sources one more time to see if there is any dragon that I missed and then I'll implement the template throughout the dragon pages.
Then it should be ready for some of Lhynard's and Moviesign's programming magic. :)
By the way, I think your navboxes are fantastic.
I'm sorry for the late post.
On another note: it now seems that the {{Draconic humanoids}} navbox is no longer necessary, since it has become redundant (and was already quite incomplete anyway). Should we remove it from the pages?

Camp Diary
By Jayden E
(A copy of what Jayden wrote for his first day on camp. Photos selcted by Mrs Zambazos. To see Jayden's original entry see Jayden E)
I woke up at 4:00am and went back to bed for 2 more hours.
I got ready for camp/school by 7:30am. At 8:15 me, my mother and my sister left for school.
8:30am I get to school (finally).
I don't know time we got on the bus and left the camp but I saw Janelle waving to me when we went on the bus to go to camp.
Me, James, Jack and Brooke sat together and had a very interesting conversation on the way there.
The conversation was about our fears and dreams.
We also went on a trip down memory lane. Some of it was good but others, not so good.
When we got to camp we got our bags and put them into our cabins and got our lunch box and sat down and had our morning tea.
When we were finished having our morning tea we went to put our lunch box away and got our beds ready.
We went back outside the main hall.
The parents their activity groups together and did an activity together.
My group went to the bush first.
The activity we did was called shape search.
In shape search you had to find shapes nature made.
When we were in the bush it started to rain.
Luckily it wasn't very hard until we got back to camp.
We were really lucky.
We had to draw the shapes we saw in the bush.
When we were finished me, Charlie and George played with the dominos.
Then the teacher told us to pack up and go to our cabin's to get our lunch and sit down and have our lunch.
After we've had our lunch we sat down and talked to people quietly.
After lunch both classes went on a bush walk. By the time we got back it was afternoon tea time.
So Mr Davis told us to get a cup from our cabin and come back.
When we came back there was so much good food there.
After afternoon tea we did another bush walk. By the time we got back tea was ready. Tea was a Barbecue. I had sausages, coleslaw, Potato, Potato Salad and pork.
After tea we washed and rinsed our plate, cup, knife and fork. We took them back to our cabin and brought back with us a beanie, a torch, and rain coat. We sat down in our activity groups when we got back.
Then we went to see the glow worms. We went up a no exit street. But I saw a pathway through 2 bushes.
The pathway ended and there was a stream with rocks in It.
We had to test our parkour skills there!
Some glow worms were green, some were blue.
But most were blue.
Some people were shining their torches at the glow worms.
We all walked back to camp.
Mr Davis told us "Go get a cup and come back to the main hall. We are going to have supper"
Supper was left over's from afternoon tea.
After supper the boys went to get changed, brush their teeth and go to bed.
When I finished I went to my cabin and tried to go to sleep but Mr Davis opened the door and said "You boys ready for bed?" we said "Yes." Mr Davis replied "I'll come back in 1 minute to turn the lights off."
I fell asleep by the time he got back.

Toronto News | Weather & Traffic | CTV News Toronto
Driver critically injured after vehicle hit by flying tire on Hwy. 400
Published Wednesday, June 12, 2019 9:28AM EDT Last Updated Wednesday, June 12, 2019 7:27PM EDT
A female driver was airlifted to hospital with critical injuries after a wheel flew off a moving vehicle on Highway 400 near Innisfil and smashed through her windshield.
Ontario Provincial Police say that a passenger vehicle was headed northbound on Highway 400 near Highway 89 at around 8:30 a.m. when its front wheel came off its axle, bounced over a concrete median and went straight through the windshield of the woman's southbound vehicle.
"It went right into the occupant compartment, right at the driver's position," Ontario Provincial Police Sgt. Kerry Schmidt told CTV News Barrie at the scene. "When an object comes flying towards you unexpectedly like that there is nothing you can really do to react. It happens in a fraction of a second and by the time you realize it is on a collision course with you there is really no place you can go."
Schmidt said that the crews are still searching the side of the highway for the wheel that hit the woman's vehicle and believe that it will be located somewhere north of the scene on the west side of Highway 400.
A Toronto police spokesperson says the vehicle that the wheel came off of was driven by a Toronto police officer returning to his home outside Toronto after work.
The spokesperson said the officer is a member of the Emergency Task Force and he was driving his personal vehicle at the time of the incident.
The officer's supervisor went to the scene to check on him.
Schmidt said that the wheel could have conceivably travelled a significant distance, given the speed that the northbound vehicle would have been travelling at.
"Why this wheel came off its certainly part of the mystery," he said. "Was it installed recently? Was it installed improperly? Was it done by professionals or done by the owner of the vehicle? That is all information we are relying to ascertain."
Schmidt said that the driver of the northbound vehicle could face charges if it is determined that it was not kept in working order.
Several lanes of Highway 400 were initially blocked north of Highway 89, however all lanes of the highway reopened both ways at around noon.

OS News: No open source OS/2
January 30th, 2008 No comments
I've just finished another article for OS News. This one is entitled "I'm glad that IBM declined to release the OS/2 source". I'm just calling things as I see them but I'm going to end up with a reputation as a miserable git with the OS News readership 😉 I'm just the doctor, I didn't make the needle sharp.

Each week, executive editor Adam Bryant satisfies your need for TV scoop. Please send all questions to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Do you have anything on The Mentalist's premiere episode you can share? — Shena, via Twitter
After their big kiss at the end of last season, Lisbon and Jane are fully immersed in their honeymoon period when the season begins. But when they're called back to work to investigate the murder of an undercover FBI agent, they have to figure out how (or if) to break the news of their relationship to their colleagues. Lisbon, for one, wants to keep the romance under wraps — which Jane is willing go along with. Or at least he is until Lisbon's ex Pike comes back in the picture.
How will Leslie and Ben be different when Parks and Recreation returns? — Eddie
Other than the obvious — aka being parents to three kids — and the ridiculous — "We're just inventing stupid 2017 technology," Amy Poehler jokes — viewers should keep their eyes peeled for small, Easter egg-like nods to things that have changed. "The writers did a good job of just finding those little differences and advancements that you'll definitely notice this season," Adam Scott says. The other most notable difference will be seen in Leslie and Ben's professional lives. "You're going to see a bit more experienced Leslie and Ben," Scott says. "It's three years later and they're good at this. Not that they weren't before, but they have a little more blood under the bridge."
After Sunday's stellar episode of Homeland, how much Xanax do I need to gather for the upcoming episode? — Val, via Twitter
I'd have a healthy supply on hand, Val. The episode's key setpiece involves a long, nerve-wracking prisoner exchange that goes awry almost from the start — and it's an angry Saul who starts the trouble! Amidst Saul's (understandable) tantrum and the threat that either side could open fire at any moment, Carrie will have to be at her best to once again talk her mentor off the ledge. But, naturally, it's only after you get a moment to breathe that the show hits you with the episode's real doozy.
What have you got about my sexy man Tony on NCIS? — Marla, via Twitter
You definitely haven't seen the last of Keats, Tony's former partner with whom some sparks flew recently. "That connection...will come up again at some point," executive producer Gary Glasberg tells us. "It was a tough year for Tony DiNozzo last year. We're going to continue down the road of getting back to what we call the old Tony DiNozzo — [seeing him] spreading his wings a little bit and enjoying himself." But not all the character's exploration will come through love interests. Glasberg teases that Robert Wagner will return as Tony Sr. in a winter episode that offers "more insight into Tony DiNozzo when he was younger."
What can you tell me about Castle's midseason finale? Will it deal with Castle's disappearance at all? — Caleb
Executive producer David Amann suggests that the writers won't be picking up that mystery again until probably February, during this season's big two-parter episode. But the midseason finale should pack plenty of punch. Because it serves as this season's Christmas episode, it has a bit of a lighter touch...right up until the end. "We're looking at a bit of a game-changer for Castle at the end of the episode," Amann teases, although he promises that Castle and Beckett aren't getting a quickie divorce. "The events of the episode will cause a shift...in Castle's life in a fairly significant way." Bah humbug! (Also, guesses?)
I still can't believe Amaro and Rollins are having an affair on SVU. How much longer will they be able to keep this up? — Rita
There may be trouble in paradise on Wednesday's episode, which finds the team investigating a ripped-from-the-headlines case about a former football player who is caught abusing his ex-girlfriend on camera. "Some of [those] issues are echoed in the Rollins-Amaro relationship," executive producer Warren Leight says. "The way they react to this case tells us a lot about how far their relationship can go. It's pretty combustible what happens in that episode. Tempers flare." Yikes!
Any details on Marcia Gay Harden's character on How to Get Away with Murder? — Lindy
Creator Peter Nowalk is keeping his lips zipped for now. But apropos of nothing, Nowalk did tease that we will soon meet someone from Sam's past. (Perhaps his first wife on whom he cheated with Annalise?) Anyone feel like playing connect the dots?
Will Keller be a thorn in Neal's side now that he's working for Interpol on White Collar? — Chris
Because Keller and Neal ultimately have the same goal — to take down the Pink Panthers — they find themselves as unlikely allies. And working together might perhaps change how Neal feels about Keller — and himself. "That's a relationship I've always loved because they're always the shadowy reflection of each other, that yin and yang," creator Jeff Eastin says. "It gives Neal a chance to dig in and look inside and ask, 'Who am I?' Ultimately, that's what I think the series has been about: Neal trying to figure out who he is. Is he a good guy or a bad guy?"
Are we going to see Catherine again on Hawaii Five-0? — Catelyn
Would you settle for at least hearing about her? Executive producer Peter Lenkov says that Catherine-McGarrett 'shippers will definitely want to tune in to the Nov. 21 episode, which also features guest star Carol Burnett. "McGarrett talks about Catherine and the status of their relationship," Lenkov says. "I know people have been asking, 'Where's Catherine? What's happening with Catherine?' So we're going to answer that."
The Originals is so good this season! Any scoop? — Michelle
Now that Klaus faced (and killed!) his real father, everything will now build to Esther and Mikael's reunion — which will happen sooner than you think. "Esther and Mikael have an interesting problem — [they're] not together romantically, but share a responsibility for their children," executive producer Michael Narducci says. "Esther wants to find salvation for her children, while Mikael clearly wants to kill Klaus. Would Esther stand with her children against Mikael? Would Esther stand with her children against Klaus? When that reunion takes place, it'll be fraught with parental conflict."
Is McQuaid's wife really dead on Covert Affairs? What if she's alive and working with Belenko? — Justin
That would be something, right? Alas, creators Matt Corman and Chris Ord promise that McQuaid's late wife, whom he casually mentioned in the summer finale, is just part of his backstory. "The stakes of these [remaining episodes] are so high and focused on Auggie that we're not really finding time for other things, so that's not something that will come up," Ord says. "But never say never in the future."
I'm really loving The Newsroom this season. What can you tell me about next week's episode? — Amie
Although many of the "News Night" staffers react poorly to having the newsroom raided by the FBI, Will keeps his cool. In fact, we eventually learn that Will's nonchalance has everything to do with his own involvement in protecting Neal from the federal probe. Unfortunately for Will, he's severelyunderestimated the lengths the government is willing to go to in order to find this whistleblower. Elsewhere, Charlie hatches a scheme to help Leona save AWM from being sold — but the price of doing business may not be one Charlie is willing to pay.
Mega Rave: Anthony Hopkins on an HBO series? Yes, please!
Mini Rant: Sure, Fox, remake Luther. Because it's worked out so well with Gracepoint.
This Week's Recommendation: The Profit (Tuesdays at 10/9c on CNBC) I'm a recent convert, but I am absolutely hooked on this show, in which entrepreneur Marcus Lemonis invests his own money to rescue struggling businesses. Whether dealing with companies that sell candy or cut hair, Lemonis' brutal honesty is balanced by his evident passion to help. It's the most real reality show on TV because, like life, there's not always a happy ending.

|Renner (L) escaped serious injury, while drinking pal,
Vorasit ''Wan'' Issara (R), bore the brunt of the frenzied attack.
Mission Impossible star escapes serious injury, reports Phuket Gazette
Hollywood star, Jeremy Renner, taking time off from shooting 'The Bourne Legacy' was out drinking with friends late into the night during a recent visit to Phuket.
Part of Renner's entourage included a young local 'rising star', Wan Vorasit Issara, GM of the much-praised Sri panwa resort.
According to reports, the 31-year-old Vorasit dropped a glass on the floor of the Rachada Pub in Phoonpol about 4.30am Wednesday 4th January, sparking a violent altercation with staff. Renner and his minders apparently left as soon as the affray began although some reports say he sustained minor injuries during his escape.
Vorasit, however, was set upon by six of the bar's staff sustaining serious injuries including stab wounds to the stomach and deep lacerations to the neck from a homemade 'battleaxe' fashioned from a motorcycle brake disc.
Vorasit has hosted Australian travel media previously and clearly made an impression on his guests. Australian Gourmet Traveller listed Sri panwa at #75 in their 2010 Top 100, calling it the 'coolest place to party in Phuket'. In the report, Vorasit is described by veteran Australian travel journalist, Kendall Hill, as "a very generous host" and "exceptional cook".
Vorasit remains in hospital with serious wounds to the stomach and partially severed neck tendons. He also suffered bruises to his entire body, but it appears he will recover without lasting effects, except perhaps some battle scars.
A spokesperson for Sri panwa said Vorasit was "doing very well and showing signs of a fast recovery". Understandably the resort was not being drawn into any further comment as Renner's publicist had already issued a statement saying the Hollywood star "was not injured or involved", a claim at odds with the police report. However, the UK newspaper, The Sun, quotes Vorasit as saying: "We pushed Jeremy to safety as soon as the fight broke out."
Rachada Pub owner Sawat Prueksakij, has reportedly apologised personally to Vorasit, vowing to assist police in their investigation. "We have had some conflicts before, and we have a strict policy of ensuring that people entering the pub are of legal age and are not carrying weapons, but we have never had staff harming patrons," Mr Sawat said to Phuket News reporter, Warisa Temram, today.
Six Rachada Pub staff have since been arrested and charged with attempted murder while the venue, which was open after official closing time, has been shut pending further investigations.

Before Andrews University became the largest Christian university or college in the state of Michigan it was opened as Battle Creek College. Long before Battle Creek College granted its first degrees in 1879 it closed and reopened several times. The school needed a leader who could maximize the gifts of the faculty. Ellen and James White were among the strongest supporters of the Battle Creek College (Greenleaf, 2005).
Understanding the significance of the teacher Mrs. White wrote, "No cheap cast of mind should be placed in our church schools. The very best is required in educating and molding the human mind," (White, 1900, p. 40). Additionally, she stated that, "No haphazard work must be done in the appointment of teachers" (White, 1900, p. 40). While teaching in a church school, the teacher is serving in the largest evangelistic field that is touched on a daily basis. This renders the teacher a missionary, co-laboring with the pastor for the souls of the children and their families. Jesus said that the "the laborer is worthy of his hire" (Luke 10:7). No system should exist which underpays those who work with our children, but a haphazard system which allows inequality in salary for the same work must not exist. Whereas many locally funded teachers work for much less than their counterparts, there are exceptions.
After graduating from Andrews University Faith spent four years in the mission field. She served as teacher, administrator, and mentor. When she returned to the United States Faith accepted a position in a combination classroom. Creative, innovative and a teacher leader, Faith creates a learning environment that is rigorous but fun. While Faith's position is locally funded, the school and church pay her full salary and the same benefits as her fellow conference teachers. Her school guarantees equity in employment for all teachers at the school. This investment is a collective commitment to a professional that they want to keep.
Ballou & Podgursky (1997) found that teachers in private schools serve with a mission in mind. When compared to public school teachers, private school teachers perceive that parents and administration are more supportive, possibly contributing to strong and more positive attitudes towards school. This study confirms that teacher performance and self-efficacy are not necessarily tied to financial compensation, yet the median salary of the private school teachers was higher than the public school teachers surveyed.
Education officials around the United States experience challenges attracting and retaining quality teachers (US Gov, 2000). For this reason many public school districts provide higher salaries for beginning teachers, attempting to lure them away from other industries, to fulfill the vacancies resulting from burgeoning school enrollments throughout the country. Unless all church school systems practice equity in employment, critical vacancies might result as qualified and creative teachers are forced to find employment elsewhere to care for their families.
At the General Conference Session of 1922 it was voted for, "the conference management to endeavor in every possible way to remove our elementary teachers from embarrassments arising from irregularities in the payment of salaries and undue hindering local influences, thus stabilizing and making permanent our elementary school work" (SDA, 1922). In short, in order for church schools to thrive there must be equity in salary and benefits for all employees. This was true in 1922 and it is still true today.
