UK Bank Holidays
Submitted by uk.sci.weather on Mon, 21/01/2008 - 8:13pm.
Some history ....
- Bank holidays were first introduced (in the UK [of Great Britain & the whole of Ireland at the time]) by the Bank Holidays Act of 1871. Bank Holidays are days when banks may close for business. The law makes provision for certain payments to be deferred until the next appropriate day. The measure was primarily due to a campaign by Sir John Lubbock (from 1900 1st Baron Avebury), who campaigned for the rights of shop workers, ensuring the passage of the Act; he also sponsored the Early Closing Act of 1904. He was a Liberal MP, for Maidstone 1870-1874, then for London University 1880-1900. He died in 1913.
- The 1871 Act designated four holidays in England, Wales and Ireland (then wholly part of the UK), and five in Scotland (as under).
England, Wales & Ireland (1871 Act):
Easter Monday, the first Monday in August, the 26th December (or the following Monday if the latter fell on a Sunday), and Whit Monday. (In England, Wales & Ireland, both Christmas Day and Good Friday were traditional 'days of rest' and Christian worship .. as were Sundays, and did not need to be included in the Act .. unlike for Scotland (below).
Scotland (1871 Act):
New Year's Day, Good Friday, the first Monday in May, the first Monday in August and Christmas Day.
- The 1871 Act was repealed (replaced) 100 years later and its provisions incorporated into the Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971, which is the current (UK-wide) statutory basis for bank holidays .. since Devolution, some of the constituent parts of the UK can vary these provisions, and in Scotland, the dates of various holidays are a matter for the Scottish Executive. (Of course, non of it now applies to the Republic of Ireland, except where 'legacy' law has been incorporated into the statutes of that country.)
- The 1971 Act covered the following:
1. Whit Monday in England, Wales & Northern Ireland was formally replaced by a fixed 'spring holiday' on the last Monday in May. The last Monday in August was formally made a bank holiday in place of the first Monday in August in England, Wales & Northern Ireland. In both cases, this followed a trial period of the new arrangements: for the move of August Bank Holiday since 1965, and the Spring holiday in 1967. (NB: these arrangements left the August BH as the first Monday in Scotland.)
- Bank holidays are not automatically 'public' holidays. In many parts of England, Wales and Northern Ireland, bank holidays have become widely observed [ and often referred to as 'Public Holidays' ], and many employees' terms of employment include an entitlement to paid holiday on such days, but this is a matter for agreement between employer and workers, and NOT a matter of law. In Scotland, although bank holidays are observed in the banking / financial sector, they have less significance than elsewhere; the public and business community in Scotland tend to observe various local and traditional days; these are often defined by local authorities or the Executive.
- There are currently 8 permanent bank and public holidays in England, Wales and Scotland and 10 in Northern Ireland. These include Christmas Day and Good Friday, which in England, Wales and Northern Ireland are 'common law' holidays - they are not specified by law as bank holidays but have become customary holidays because of common observance.
- Substitute days are customarily appointed for all UK bank and public holidays which fall on Saturday and Sunday by the rules above. For the most part (there are exceptions), the substitute day is normally the following Monday.
Some variations ....
- In 1973, the 2nd January was created an additional Bank Holiday in Scotland - this was allowed for in the 1971 Act (above), but not enabled until this year.
- In 1974, New Year's Day became an additional bank holiday in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and Boxing Day became an additional bank holiday in Scotland.
- In 1978, the first Monday in May in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and the last Monday in May in Scotland, became additional bank holidays. (The first Monday in May was already a Bank Holiday in Scotland - see above.)
Other background notes ....
- Bank Holidays since the 1971 Act are appointed each year by Royal Proclamation. In fact, a Bank Holiday can be designated in this way in an emergency situation, for example when the government wants to stop currency dealing, or for special occasions such as the Millennium holiday in 1999 and the Queen's Golden Jubilee in 2002. (March 1968 saw a notable occasion when an emergency meeting of the Privy Council was held in the middle of the night, attended by the Queen, to declare a one-off Bank Holiday to stem losses in the London Gold markets).
- A Bank Holiday has come, by convention, to be classed as a Public Holiday (listed as BPH in the list below) for England, Wales & Northern Ireland - this follows from days before electronic banking, when banks were shut, so businesses could not operate (though in practice of course, there were always exceptions - i.e. railways, emergency services, hospitals etc.)
- The Anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne bank holiday (Northern Ireland only), is proclaimed annually by the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. This was introduced in 1926 by the then Governor of Northern Ireland.
- St. Patrick's Day Holiday (17th March), was introduced by special Act of Parliament in 1903: at the time, this UK legislation would have applied to the whole of Ireland, but it's specific provisions only now apply to Northern Ireland - however the day is of course a Public Holiday in the Republic as well.
- Boxing Day is taken as the 26th December: if the 26th falls on a Sunday, then the day should strictly be taken on the following weekday (e.g. if Christmas Day is on a Saturday, Boxing Day should be on the Monday). In practice though, this is often neglected, and the day following the 25th December is often referred to as 'Boxing Day' even if that day is a Sunday.

... Polyorchidism is a rare type of developmental anomaly. It is defined as presence of more than one testis on the same side. Supernumeary testis with separate epididymis and separate vas deferens is a very rare variant of polyorchidism. We present a case of triorchidism presenting as cryptoorchidism in a six month old infant which on inguinal exploration was found to have double testes with separate vas deferens and epididymis. We closely followed the patient for two years after orchidopexy and found no complications or malignant change.
Original article - Flavonoid profiling of a traditional Chinese medicine formula of Huangqin Tang using high performance liquid chromatography

... The quality control processes for herbal medicines have been problematic. Flavonoids are the major active components of Huangqin Tang (HQT, a traditional Chinese medicine formula). In this study, we used a combinative method approach consisting of chromatographic fingerprinting (high performance liquid chromatography; HPLC), quantitative methods and a pharmacodynamic evaluation model to analyze the flavonoids of HQT obtained from different sources. Ten batches of HQT were analyzed by the HPLC fingerprinting method and 26 common peaks were detected, of which 23 peaks corresponded with the chemical profile of HQT. In addition, 11 major compounds were identified by LC–MS analysis (liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometer; LC–MSn) and quantified by the HPLC quantitative method approach. The studied 10 batches of HQT were found to be homogeneous in their composition with a similarity between 0.990 and 1.000. The distribution of the 11 identified compounds was found to be very similar among the batches. Only slight pharmacodynamic differences were detected between the different batches, confirming the homogeneity of HQT. The results of this study prove that the combination of chromatographic fingerprinting and quantitative analysis can be readily used for comprehensive quality control of herbal medicines.

... Fritillaria thunbergii Miq. has been widely used in traditional Chinese medicine for its expectorant, antitussive, antiinflammatory and analgesic properties. Moreover, modern pharmacological studies have demonstrated that F. thunbergii Miq. has efficacy in the treatment of leukemia and cancers of the liver and cervix. Although the alkaloid, peimine, is largely responsible for these pharmacological effects, it has very low oral bioavailability. The aim of this study was to investigate the intestinal absorption of peimine in Caco-2 cell monolayers. Having demonstrated that peimine is non-toxic to Caco-2 cells at concentrations <200μmol/L, the effect of peimine concentration, pH, temperature, efflux transport protein inhibitors and EDTA-Na2 on peimine transport were studied. The results show that peimine transport is concentration-dependent; that at pH 6.0 and 7.4, the Papp(AP-BL) of peimine is not significantly different but the Papp(BL-AP)) is; that both Papp(AP-BL) and Papp(BL-AP) at 4°C are significantly higher than their corresponding values at 37°C; that the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitors, verapamil and cyclosporin A, increase absorption of peimine; and that EDTA-Na2 has no discernible effect. In summary, the results demonstrate that the intestinal absorption of peimine across Caco-2 cell monolayers involves active transport and that peimine is a substrate of P-gp.

... Three pairs of enantiomerically pure alkaloids with diverse structure features, named isatindigoticoic acid A and epiisatindigoticoic acid A [(−)-1 and (+)-1], phaitanthrin A and epiphaitanthrin A [(−)-2 and (+)-2], and isatindopyrromizol A and epiisatindopyrromizol A [(−)-3 and (+)-3], respectively, were isolated from an aqueous extract of the roots of Isatis indigotica. Racemic and scalemic mixtures of these enantiomers were separated by HPLC on a chiral semi-preparative column. Their structures including absolute configurations were determined by extensive spectroscopic analysis in conjunction with the calculation of electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. The enantiomer pairs possess parent structures of 2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-4-carboxylic acid, indolo[2,1-b]quinazolinone, and 3-thioxohexahydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-c]imidazol-1-one, respectively. Except for phaitanthrin A [(−)-2] which the configuration was previously undetermined, these compounds are new enantiomeric natural products.

ORIGINAL ARTICLE - Comparison of drug release from liquid crystalline monoolein dispersions and solid lipid nanoparticles using a flow cytometric technique
Contributors: unknown
Date: 2016-12-10
... Colloidal lipid particles such as solid lipid nanoparticles and liquid crystalline nanoparticles have great opportunities as drug carriers especially for lipophilic drugs intended for intravenous administration. In order to evaluate drug release from these nanoparticles and determine their behavior after administration, emulsion droplets were used as a lipophilic compartment to which the transfer of a model drug was measured. The detection of the model drug transferred from monoolein cubic particles and trimyristin solid lipid nanoparticles into emulsion droplets was performed using a flow cytometric technique. A higher rate and amount of porphyrin transfer from the solid lipid nanoparticles compared to the monoolein cubic particles was observed. This difference might be attributed to the formation of a highly ordered particle which leads to the expulsion of drug to the surface of the crystalline particle. Furthermore, the sponge-like structure of the monoolein cubic particles decreases the rate and amount of drug transferred. In conclusion, the flow cytometric technique is a suitable technique to study drug transfer from these carriers to large lipophilic acceptors. Monoolein cubic particles with their unique structure can be used successfully as a drug carrier with slow drug release compared with trimyristin nanoparticles.

CME Resource Center - The Role of Noninvasive Ventilation in the Management and Mitigation of Exacerbations and Hospital Admissions/Readmissions for the Patient With Moderate to Severe COPD (Multimedia Activity)
Contributors: unknown
Date: 2016-05-11
... As seen in this CME online activity (available at), COPD is a common and debilitating disease and is currently the third leading cause of death in the United States. The role of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in the management of severe, hypercapnic COPD has been controversial. However, it was concluded that current data would support the following recommendations. Patients with COPD with a waking Paco2 > 50 to 52 mm Hg, an overnight Paco2 > 55 mm Hg, or both who are symptomatic and compliant with other therapies should be eligible for NIV. In addition, multiple previous hospital admissions for COPD exacerbation, requiring noninvasive/invasive mechanical ventilation, strongly suggest a need for chronic NIV. Patients with COPD with a BMI > 30 kg/m2 respond particularly well to this therapy. When the decision is made to start NIV, this treatment is probably best initiated during a short hospitalization, although this can be accomplished in the clinic, home, or sleep laboratory if well-trained clinicians are available. Newer modes of NIV such as volume-assured pressure support, particularly with autotitrating expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP), may create the opportunity for home NIV initiation easier for less experienced physicians. Regardless of the mode selected, inspiratory pressures must be in the 20 to 25 cm H2O range to meaningfully increase tidal volume, reduce work of breathing, and, importantly, reduce waking arterial Paco2. EPAP is currently set at 4 to 5 cm H2O, although future technologies may allow this to be individualized to maximally reduce auto-positive end expiratory pressure. The NIV device should have a backup rate although it is controversial as to whether this should be set at a high (18-20 breaths/min) vs a low (8-10 breaths/min) rate. The proper use of NIV in appropriately chosen patients with COPD can improve quality of life and increase survival. Ongoing studies are assessing if the frequency of future hospitalizations can be reduced with NIV. Thus, NIV should be strongly considered in any patients with COPD meeting the criteria described here.

Syrian forces torture children as young as 13
Children as young as 13 are a particular target in the "rampant" use of torture by Syrian government forces battling opposition protests, Human Rights Watch said in a report released Friday.
The United Nations says hundreds of children have been killed in the crackdown over the past 10 months, and the rights group highlighted cases of children shot in their homes or on the street, or grabbed from schools.
It documented 12 cases of children tortured in detention centres and said many more may have suffered similar treatment.
"In many cases, security forces have targeted children just as they have targeted adults," said Lois Whitman, children's rights director at the New York-based Human Rights Watch.
The group's report said more than 100 people who had been held by security forces "described rampant use of torture in detention centres against even the youngest detainees, even beyond the 12 cases specifically documented."
"Children, some as young as 13, reported to Human Rights Watch that officers kept them in solitary confinement, severely beat and electrocuted them, burned them with cigarettes, and left them to dangle from metal handcuffs for hours at a time, centimetres above the floor," the report said.
The parents of one 13-year-old boy from Latakia said he was detained for nine days in December after being accused of burning photos of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, inciting protests and vandalizing security forces' cars.
Security officers burned the boy with cigarettes on his neck and hands and threw boiling water on him, the parents were quoted as saying.
Another 13-year-old told Human Rights Watch that security forces tortured him for three days at a military security branch after he was detained in May.
He said he fell unconscious after being electrocuted on the stomach.
"When they interrogated me the second time, they beat me and electrocuted me again. The third time they had some pliers, and they pulled out my toenail," the boy was quoted as saying.
Most Syrian schools are now closed because of the unrest, in which thousands have been killed since last March. Many of the schools have been turned into detention centres with snipers prowling the rooftops.
Parents told Human Rights Watch that it was too dangerous to let their children out onto the streets.
One man from Homs said he stopped letting his 10-year-old son go to school because of snipers targeting Brazil Street, the main road leading to the school in one of the cities that has borne the brunt of the deadly crackdown.
"We called it 'the street of death'," he was quoted as saying.
Teenagers told Human Rights Watch how mass arrests were carried out.
One 17-year-old girl said that in May of last year, security forces entered her school in Latakia and arrested all the boys in her class, after questioning them about the anti-regime slogans painted on the school walls.
She did not know if they were ever released.
Human Rights Watch called on the UN Security Council to demand that the Syrian government end all human rights violations and cooperate with a UN Human Rights Council investigation and Arab League monitors.
The Security Council is negotiating a draft resolution condemning the bloody Syria crackdown. The proposed resolution has been softened by Western and Arab nations in a bid to overcome Russian-led opposition.

According industry estimates, Germany has the largest contact center market in the Eurozone. With almost 7,000 contact centers nationwide, the sector has recorded a 10 percent annual agent growth rate over the past 10 years. Keen on grabbing the opportunities in this high growth market, the contact center technology firm, Altitude Software has adopted a long term strategy exclusively for the German markets.
As part of this, the company has recently opened a new office in Dusseldorf and restructured its sales team with the appointment of contact center industry veteran, Miguel Lopes to lead the company's new sales, partner and customer support team for Germany, Austria and Switzerland. A new account manager-- Mark Gutmann – was also appointed.
The opening of new office in the heart of Germany marks a new milestone for the company. A direct presence in the country and German speaking workforce are sure to help the company gain a better market reach in the DACH regions. The company is now better equipped to extend its support to the growing customer base and partner network in German-speaking countries.
So far, the company led its European operations from a centrally located office in Brussels. The company's client portfolio includes high profile contact center customers and partners such as avocis, Teleperformance, and Transcom Worldwide. The latest expansion move is aimed at enhancing the company's delivery capabilities in an industry that is seemingly on the lookout for agile software solutions. Altitude anticipates a huge acceptance for its modular software suite, Altitude uCI. This software solution, according to its maker, is able to manage all customer interactions and unify all touch points throughout the organization in an open, platform-independent solution, based on standards.
As part of its long term strategy in Europe, Altitude Software had recently acquired majority stake in Sweden-based Software-as-a-Service company, ASP Nordic. Born out of this acquisition is a new venture called Altitude Cloud, which focuses on delivering next generation contact center cloud solutions, with an initial focus on Scandinavia and a phased global roll-out.
Few months back, Altitude Software unveiled Altitude vBox 4.0, a new version of Altitude's full-featured SIP Server that is optimized to enable organizations of all sizes to deploy multimedia IP contact center solutions on a short timeframe.

There are a quite a few areas in this story about a haunted house that I could use some help with. I have cut out all the stuff I understand, and highlighted the bits I need help with in bold.
[The house and its spectre are introduced] Inde inhabitantibus tristes diraeque noctes per metum vigilabantur; vigiliam morbus et crescente formidine mors sequebatur. After that, mournful and fearful nights were spent in vigilance by the inhabitants because of fear.illness and, with terror increasing, death followed wakefulness. Is 'crescente formidine' an abl.abs? Have I got this translation right?)
[The house is put up for sale or lease] Venit Athenas philosophus Athenodorus, legit titulum, auditoque pretio, quia suspecta vilitas, percontatus, omnia docetur ac nihilo minus, immo tanto magis, conducit. A philosoper called Athenodorus comes from Athens, he reads the advertisement, and having heard the price, and having enquired because of the suspicious cheapness, is told everything and by nothing less, or rather, more by so much, rents it. I'm totally confused by 'nihilo minus, immo tanto magis'. The notes to this story say this is degree of difference, but I can't make sense of 'less by nothing, or rather more by so much.
[He rents it anyway, and one night the ghost appears. Athenodorus follows it] Ibat idolon lento gradu quasi gravis vinculis. Postquam deflexit in aream domus, repente dilapsa deserit comitem; desertus herbas et folia concerpta signum loco ponit. Postero die adit magistratus, monet ut illum locum effodi iubeant. The ghost walks with slow steps, as though weighed down with heavy chains. Then he turns into an area of the house, and disappears, leaving his companion alone. Left alone, Athenodorus places grasses and torn-up leaves to mark the spot. I think that's what it means, but I can't quite get 'signum loco ponit'. Then, the next day, a magistrate appears and advises that they should order that area to be dug up. But why is iubeant in plural? Who are they? Is it just some ephemeral 'they', the way we say 'They should do something about that'?
Sorry this has got so long. Hope you're still reading. I look forward to your replies.

From New Orleans, Louisiana, USA:
I am a 20 year old girl who has had type 1 diabetes for almost 18 years, and for the most part, it has been in good control. I plan to have children in the next five years, but I recently found out that I am not ovulating every month. I'm concerned because I have read several articles about infertility problems and diabetes. Does this mean I won't be able to have children?
No, it doesn't necessarily mean you can't have children, but you may have more difficulty than average conceiving. Don't assume you aren't fertile and make sure you use birth control if you are sexually active before you wish to conceive.
If you do ovulate some months, but not others, you may have trouble predicting when your "fertile time of the month" is, but that doesn't mean you won't conceive naturally. If after 6-12 months of trying to conceive, you are unable, you should consult a fertility specialist.
First of all, I'd make sure your thyroid function is normal since abnormal thyroid function is common in people with diabetes, can cause menstrual irregularities, and is easily treated with thyroid medication. Achieving the best blood sugar control possible at least six months before you plan to try becoming pregnant will both help make your cycles more regular and decrease the chance of birth defects which occur more frequently in women who don't have good control both before they conceive and during the first trimester when organs are forming in a developing fetus.
[Editor's comment: See Planning a pregnancy , at the Diabetes Monitor, for some additional thoughts. WWQ]

Titanium Tube Production Process
Titanium Tube Applications
Titanium pipes are a common mill product used in the manufacture of a wide range of products and applications. From medical implants large industrial heat exchangers, through to titanium tubing used in aircraft component structures. In recent years we have seen an increased demand from steel fabricators who now view titanium as a real alternative to meet the demands for stronger and lighter and cheaper metal tubes.
Titanium Tube Product Specification
The table below provides and a overview to the tube and pipe range that we manufacture and supply. We also specify many orders against the NPS standard aswell as providing bespoke sizing. The choice of welded or seamless is largely governed by the size of tube and the application it is to be used for. It is necessary to specify either welded or seamless along with titanium pipe surface treatment and manufacturing standard. Titanium tubes are available in both seamless and welded for with differing size ranges.
Titanium Seamless Tubes
|Outer Diameter
|Size Range:
|0.5mm – 330mm
|0.4mm – 10mm
|Max 15m
|Manufacturing Standards
Titanium Welded Tubes
We have two key locations in Shaanxi, Our factory in Baoji is located at the very heart of production. We manage all of our production from sponge to mill product manufacture here. Our secondary office is located in the centre Xian with increased access to the business markets.
The factory is set out in a production line starting from the sponge compaction and ingot production, through to forging of billets and bars, and onto the seamless tube extrusions devices.
Our factory is equipped with state of the art titanium tube extruding machines to ensure that we can control production internally and meet customers high demands for quality and price.
Titanium Tube Coil
We manufacture fabricated titanium tube coils. See our Titanium Tube Coils for more information.
Titanium Tube NPS Size Chart
The NPS is a commonly used titanium tube sizing standard for pipes used for high pressure and temperature applications, along with the DN standard used in Europe. We manufacture titanium pipes to both standards and also customer defined requirements.
Titanium Tube Production
The production of titanium tubes takes two distinct approaches, one for the production of seamless tubes, the second for welded tubes. The type of tube is determined by the size and the application for use.
Seamless Tube Production
Seamless tube production uses a variety of equipment dependent on the tube requirements and seamless ti tubing is manufactured by either rotary piercing or extrusion.
Rotary Piercing
titanium Tube Extrusion Rotary piercing tube production is where billet is pushed through a two roller which are convex-tapered rotating in the same direction. The rollers compress the material and a tapered mandrel is set inside the central void. The mandrel forces the titanium outards and then compresses teh material against the back tapered rollers. The tube is then cooled and then cold and hot worked to the desired diameters and specifications.
Extrusion is a process used to create objects of a fixed, cross-sectional profile. A material is pushed or drawn through a die of the desired cross-section. The two main advantages of this process over other manufacturing processes are its ability to create very complex cross-sections and work materials that are brittle, because the material only encounters compressive and shear stresses. The internal cavity is extruded by placing a pin or mandrel inside of the die
Welded Tube Production
The welding process is one of the core ways in which we manufacture titanium tubes. Our high quality tubing starts off as a flat strip of metal. The strip is formed into a tube through a series of rollers and the join, also called the seam, is then welded together.
Titanium Tubes and Packaging
All of our titanium pipes come packaged in plywood cases and wrapped in foam with all pricing and quotes include the titanium tube packaging. We also can accommodate customer specific packaging and shipping requirements for ti tubes. Contact our customer service team now for more information.
Titanium Pipe Production Technology
From all the titanium mill products, titanium tubing offers perhaps the greatest technical challenge and so is the need for superior excellence in engineering.

The enemy has used the temptations of this world to lure so many of our young people away from the values and teaching of their Christian upbringing. Best-selling authors Quin Sherrer and Ruthanne Garlock have both endured the pain of waiting for the return of prodigal children. Yet even as they gave each situation into the hands of the Lord, they did not wait passively, succumbing to fear and despair. Instead they battled for their children in prayer, waiting expectantly for Almighty God to intervene. And He did! Now they tell the parents of prodigals how to pray their prodigals home, and how the experience can draw parents into the arms of their heavenly Father and strengthen their bonds of love.Best-selling authors Quin Sherrer and Ruthanne Garlock have both endured the pain of waiting for the return of prodigal children.

Hadoop Training
There are two sides to employment training. First, the job market is pretty competitive right now, which means advanced skills are a must to find a good job. Second, you are going to be competing with youngsters fresh out of college who might have already acquired these skills or are up to date with new technologies like Big Data and Hadoop. So, updating your skills has become imperative.
More reasons to keep updating your skill sets
If you have years of job experience, then you already have an edge over those who are just entering the job market now. Acquiring new skills can make that edge sharper. It is true that many people still use and list Microsoft as their only technical platform. While you don't have to acquire a new degree, some additional qualifications like Cloudera certifications, HortonWorks certifications and IBM Hadoop certifications can help employers recruit you. Sometimes, people are not able to get promoted because they don't update their skills (often technical) required for the next level. Learning latest technologies like Big data and Hadoop can not only make you more valuable to your current employer but also give you an advantage when you negotiate with your next company. It is also true that current technologies are not able to give the results companies' need, especially with the level of competition they are facing. If you want to make a substantial impact, the adoption of new technologies like Big Data is a must.
The market is also picking up around the world, which means more people will be recruited. Many of these openings will occur in Hadoop.
Why Hadoop and Big data?
According to a survey of Fortune 1000 companies by NewVantage Partners LLC., 90% of companies are already into Big data. There is no doubt that Hadoop skills are in great demand. Being proficient in Hadoop can bring you many advantages like a faster career growth and higher pay package. Did you know that IT professionals who have decent experience in Hadoop and related Big data technologies are currently command some of the largest pay packages?

Review: Refocused on small plates, Sample shines on Allen Street
Adam Goetz said he's been fine-tuning his operation at Sample (242 Allen St., 883-1675), and I thought it showed in a recent visit. The chef-owner said that in addition to having a capable second in Donald Cook, he's added the talents of a pastry specialist, Kelcey Reen. A strawberry sorbet with a finishing bite of black pepper was one of the highlights of an outstanding meal.
If you go as a couple, I'd suggest ordering the chef's tasting, then deciding on two to four more small plates that catch your fancy. (If vegetarians, vegans and gluten-averse diners warn the kitchen when they make a reservation, Goetz said, he can deliver a chef's tasting that meets their needs.)
That's $60-$80 in food, not crazy money to feed two. I found myself making a list of things I wanted more of next time. Speaking of next time: even Goetz fans have complained that Sample's menu could use more seasonal offerings. For a complaint, it's a good one - diners are expecting more from Sample. We'll see if Goetz and company can deliver.

War Years
om Anselm was succeeded as Headmaster by Dom Christopher McNulty who, though a young monk only recently ordained, soon showed that he was the right man for the post. He had great dynamism, initiative and enterprise and a remarkable gift for making friends. As many of these friends had influential positions, he was able to make Belmont more widely known than it had hitherto been.
Dom Christopher's period as Headmaster came at a time when those contacts could be of maximum use.

S.Pellegrino Young Chef 2018
S.Pellegrino Young Chef 2018:
John Rivera announced as winner of S.Pellegrino Young Chef 2018 Pacific in Australia, New Zealand and Pacific region, to represent the region at the global finals in Milan next year
MELBOURNE, SEPTEMBER 11, 2017 – Following a day of outstanding performances by ten of the region's most talented rising chefs, John Rivera has been announced the winner of the nation's S.Pellegrino Young Chef 2018 local competition, and will advance to the global finals round to take place in June of 2018 in Milan, Italy.
With his Sinigang – Hapuka and tomato, calamansi and taro, John Rivera, who is previously from Auckland and attended St Peter's College in Grafton between the ages of 3-12, finished ahead of nine other contenders. The local semi-finalists competing for a chance to participate in the Grand Finale were hand-selected by ALMA, the world's leading international educational and training centre for Italian cuisine.
Pacific's regional competition took place on September 11
at Tonic in Crown Promenade. A distinguished jury of chefs,
including Andrew McConnell, Paul Carmichael, Scott Pickett,
Chrsitine Manfield and Jacques Reymond tasted and evaluated
each of the semi-finalists who prepared signature dishes
based on their adherence to the competition's five
"Golden Rules": ingredients, skill, genius, beauty
and message.
The judges commented, "We were unified in our decision. The standard has risen from previous years. John was very prepared, focused, and meticulous in his approach. John's dish showed a depth of flavour and a fully rounded approach, he articulated the cultural heritage of his dish in a precise and warm manner. Every element of the dish was perfect".
Rivera's Sinigang is a reinterpretation the traditional hot and sour Filipino soup, with a flavour profile complemented with smoked tamarind and created with incredible Australian produce. The Hapuka was steamed and served with taro that had been cooked in coconut cream and turned into a silky puree. The calamansi (lime leaf) oil brought the dish to life.
Rivera commented "This competition means a lot for young chefs and Filipinos in my generation, who are looking for their heritage and ways to show it in their food. We need to go out there and fly our flag - the world is ready for us. There are many South East Asian nations that have recognition, and the Philippines is the final frontier. This opportunity wouldn't have come to me in the Philippines. That is the great thing about Australia; they have given us all the platform. They are very accommodating, everyone helps everyone along; there is a great sense of camaraderie. Definitely Australia is the place to eat right now, and the place to work, especially for young chefs. As Jacques Reymond said, we are finding our identity and it is possible for our generation to shape our identity: Australia is the platform for that".
The local global competitions will
continue through to December 2017, where semi-finalists from
across the world will compete for a chance to move on to the
Grand Final in Milan. By the end of December 2017, 21 Young
Chefs will be announced as official finalists, who will each
be assigned a "Mentor Chef" from their regional jury.
The Mentor Chefs will support the young chefs leading up to
the Grand Finale, providing them guidance on how to improve
their signature dishes.
