Glenn Jacobs' victory speech after winning race for Knox County Mayor
August 3, 2018 Angel Espino 0 Glenn Jacobs, News, Political News,
Glenn Jacobs, the conservative small business owner best known as the professional wrestler Kane, defeated Democratic nominee Linda Haney in the Knox County mayoral race on Thursday, according to unofficial returns.
Speaking to attendees of his watch party at Crowne Plaza in downtown Knoxville, Jacobs said he doesn't normally use wrestling analogies for a campaign.
"But this professional wrestler got into a no-holds-barred, last-man-standing match, and when the bell rung, he was victorious," he said. "We were victorious." Read more: https://knoxne.ws/2WWN28Y

Today is Earth Day! Over one billion people in 192 countries are participating from London to Sao Paolo, Seoul to Babylon City, New Delhi to New York, Rome to Cairo; people everywhere are taking action in their communities and helping depict The Face of Climate Change. 50 Unbelievable Facts About Earth Infographic on the Earth Day 2013:
Australia's temperatures has become so intense that the temperatures are rising off the charts – literally. The Bureau of Meteorology's interactive weather forecasting chart has added new colors – deep purple and pink – to extend its previous temperature range that had been capped at 50 degrees! The range now extends to 54 degrees – well above the all-time record temperature of 50.7 degrees reached on January 2, 1960 at Oodnadatta Airport in South Australia – and, "perhaps worrying", the forecast outlook is starting to deploy the new colors.
Global Warming Video: Temperature Data 1880-2011
Global temperatures have warmed significantly since 1880, the beginning of what scientists call the "modern record". At this time, the coverage provided by weather stations allowed for essentially global temperature data. As greenhouse gas emissions from energy production, industry and vehicles have increased, temperatures have climbed, most notably since the late 1970s. In this animation of temperature data from 1880-2011, reds indicate temperatures higher than the average during a baseline period of 1951-1980, while blues indicate lower temperatures than the baseline average.
Protected areas of Croatia
The main protected areas of Croatia are national parks, nature parks and strict reserves. There are 444 protected areas of Croatia, encompassing 9% of the country. Those include 8 national parks in Croatia, 2 strict reserves and 10 nature parks. The most famous protected area and the oldest national park in Croatia is the Plitvice Lakes National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Velebit Nature Park is a part of the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Program. The strict and special reserves, as well as the national and nature parks, are managed and protected by the central government, while other protected areas are managed by counties. In 2005, the National Ecological Network was set up, as the first step in preparation of the EU accession and joining of the Natura 2000 network.

Scientists Report Earth Reaching 'Tipping Point' With 'Severe Impacts' on Quality of Life
A new report by 22 international scientists published in Thursday's edition of the journal Nature is stating we are nearing an age where we will have reached the "tipping point" on Earth that, once passed, will have "destructive consequences". Anthony Barnosky, professor of integrative biology at the University of California, Berkeley, and lead author for the study explained in a university press release that the research presents a combination of factors that lead to this tipping point. They include population growth, destruction of ecosystems and climate change as the factors. "It really will be a new world, biologically, at that point", Barnosky said in a statement. "The data suggests that there will be a reduction in biodiversity and severe impacts on much of what we depend on to sustain our quality of life, including, for example, fisheries, agriculture, forest products and clean water. This could happen within just a few generations". The report comes just before United Nations Rio+20 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro later this month.
The International Day for Biological Diversity (or World Biodiversity Day) is a United Nations – sanctioned international day for the promotion of biodiversity issues. It is currently held on May 22. From its creation by the Second Committee of the UN General Assembly in 1993 until 2000, it was held on December 29 to celebrate the day the Convention on Biological Diversity went into effect. On December 20, 2000, the date was shifted to commemorate the adoption of the Convention on May 22, 1992 at the Rio Earth Summit , and partly to avoid the many other holidays that occur in late December. Activities: Coincided with the observance of International Day for Biological Diversity, on May 2011 Indonesian Forestry Minister inaugurated the Ciwalen Canopy Trail that is 120 meters long and 60 meters wide at an elevation of 30–40 meters above the ground at Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park , West Java to accommodate 5 to 10 people in one trip. | commoncrawl | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUdXHxK6nrxq6DnpDO | Electrocity launched their first electric vehicle charge point, at South Mimms services on the M25 over 7 years ago in 2011 very much at the beginning of the march towards a more sustainable transport in the UK. At this current moment the electric vehicle community can make use of a network of charging stations that covers almost the entire motorway network, whilst in future you'll see Electric Highway pumps moving onto A roads and beyond.
Electrocity offers a great Electric Vehicle Charging App and its very handy as you travel around the country when you need to charge your EV, our Electric Highway car charging app allows you to check the location and status of our charge points in real time. It also shows if they're currently available or being used.
Their website also boasts an interactive electric vehicle charging stations map to find the location of your nearest charge point. You can also find your way to any of our electricity pumps using a handy route planner.
For EV drivers, according to CYC they make it simpler and more convenient to travel across the UK. The CYC Access Card provides access to all charge points on the Charge Your Car network, whilst the CYC app lets EV drivers find and use charge points. To use the network, EV drivers simply register with a direct debit to their bank account, which connects to their CYC Access Card and app. The CYC telephone help centre provides support and advice.
To join the Charge Your Car network and get instant access to a growing number of plug-in electric vehicle drivers throughout the UK, you will need a charge point that is CYC Approved as OCPP compliant. OCPP is an open protocol between charging stations and a central charge point management system (CPMS). It allows any compliant charging station from any charge point manufacturer to connect to the network and for this reason has been chosen by Charge Your Car to create the UK's first 'open' network, accessible by all charge point owners, all network operators, and all drivers of plug-in electric vehicles.
POLAR Instant allows you to simply and instantaneously access a national estate of charging points simply from your smart phone. There is a version for iPhone and also for Android phone. You do not need to bother with an advance registration process and or an RFID card. Hundreds of charging points area available across the country including a number of rapid chargers. Many of the charging points are free to use and the chargeable ones have the tariff clearly shown on your smartphone.
Download the POLAR Instant app onto your smartphone. It is free. Register as a user on the app and add some credit to your account using a credit/debit card.
Simply search, using the built in navigation facility, for the charge point that you wish to use.
When you are at the charging point press the start charge button on the App and plug your vehicle in. Within seconds your car will start charging – it's as easy as that.
When your charging session is coming to an end simply press the button on your app saying "Stop charge" and a signal will be sent to the charge point to finish the charge and release your cable.
You will then be sent a message which will display on your smartphone the cost (if any) of the charge and your account balance.

More Info: Massena Mayor Arrested on Drug Charges
Curreny Massena Mayor Timmy J. Currier led police on a highspeed chase, threw crack cocaine out his windows, and was arrested at gun point during an undercover drug investigation. He was charged with a misdemeanor for possession of a controlled substance. Before becoming Mayor he was chief of the Massena Police Department for two decades.
He announced yesterday that he is taking a voluntary leave of absence from his job to seek professional help. His full statement reads as follows:
"Some time ago, I made some poor decisions that unfortunately led me down a path resulting in my arrest on Tuesday, December 1st. I cannot express how embarrassed and disappointed in myself and for my family and friends.
I want to apologize to my family and friends who continue to show me unconditional love during these difficult times.
Please remember that the Village of Massena employees and staff do incredible work for this community each and every day. My poor decisions should not reflect negatively upon them in any way.
I have spent 32 years in public service working for the citizens of Massena and the North Country. I have always appreciated their trust and support. I hope and pray that I will have an opportunity to regain that trust.
This morning I informed Deputy Mayor Matt LeBire and Village Administrator Monique Chatland that I will be taking a leave of absence from my position as Village of Massena Mayor, so I can seek professional treatment. Deputy Mayor LeBire will serve as acting Mayor in my absence.
I ask that you respect my familys privacy during this difficult time." - Timmy J. Currier

Shaquille O'Neal, Alonzo Mourning were top two picks of draft and adversaries 25 years ago; today they are true friends
Former teammates Alonzo Mourning and Shaquille O'Neal during a ceremony at American Airlines Arena last December in which the Miami Heat retired Shaq's number. (Photo by Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images)
MIAMI – Alonzo Mourning and Shaquille O'Neal knew each other only as adversaries in 2005 when the two were brought together in Miami after 12 seasons of battles that Mourning described as "absolute war" because "we were both marking our territory."
And then it happened. Shaq, having initiated the conversation with the Heat to bring back Mourning, found out early what Zo was all about.
"We were in practice," Mourning said in an interview with the Palm Beach Post. "I only knew one speed and we were going through drills and I was going hard. He taps me on the shoulder. He said, 'Listen, slow down. I don't have it today. If you go hard I got to go hard.'"
"And I looked at him and I said, 'Man, (expletive) you.' I said, 'If your ass gets in foul trouble I got to come in. I got to be ready.' He got pissed at me."
That was the start of two foes, two people with opposite personalities off the court and powerful games on the court, better understanding each other and becoming such good friends that a decade later one would be on the stage helping present the other as he entered the Hall of Fame.
"I think he learned to respect me more as a teammate, not just as an adversary, because I used to push him in practice every day," Mourning, now a Heat vice-president, said.
Alpha males at top of draft
Next week marks the 25th anniversary of the 1992 draft in which Shaq and Mourning were the top two picks, or as Mourning put it "the two alpha males" of the class. Shaq left LSU after three years and Mourning fulfilled his foster mother Fannie Threet's desire for him to stay four years at Georgetown.
The draft was deep but there was no doubt whose names would be called with the first two picks. The next tier saw a talented group led by Duke's Christian Laettner. At one point, eight of the top nine picks all played for the Heat with Mourning being a teammate of each of the other seven and for a brief time in 2005 Shaq, Zo and Laettner, the top three picks of the '92 draft, were with the Heat.
Maybe one day a comparison will be made between 1992 and Thursday's draft, where the Heat have the 14th pick. And although the top two picks are expected to be point guards and not centers, Markelle Fultz and Lonzo Ball could develop a rivalry similar to that of Shaq and Mourning.
The gap Shaq and Mourning was pretty wide. Shaq was a mountain of a man, growing into a 7-foot-1, 325-pound specimen rarely seen in the NBA. And he dwarfed Mourning, who at 6-10 and eventually 240 pounds, was one of the stronger players in the league.
There never was any doubt who Orlando would take with the No. 1 pick, leaving Mourning for Charlotte.
"He was 7-1, huge and agile," Mourning said. "You got to make that investment especially during that day and time where the big men were the focal point of the league. He could catch, he could finish. … he was dominant. And he showed it immediately as soon as he came into the league."
Being in the same conference at the start of their careers, they would face each other up to four times every year. The battles raged and soon they were establishing themselves as two of the top players at their position with Shaq making the comparison to the legendary Wilt Chamberlain-Bill Russell rivalry, with himself in the role of Wilt and Mourning as Russell.
Although there were other dominant centers (Hakeem Olajuwon, David Robinson, Patrick Ewing), Shaq and Mourning started pulling in the hardware. Both were named to the All-Rookie team in 1993, they were All-Stars multiple times (Shaq 15, Mourning seven), first team All-League (Shaq eight, Mourning one). Shaq was named MVP in 2000 and Mourning was the defensive player of the year in 1999 and 2000.
"Every time we played against each other it was an absolute war because we were both marking our territory, establishing who was going to be the best," Mourning said. "Unfortunately I ran into some physical obstacles throughout my career but when we played each other it was war. We went after each other. He knows that, too."
Mourning's career was derailed when he was diagnosed with a life-threatening kidney disease that forced him to miss nearly two years and undergo a kidney transplant. This was in the prime of his career (before the 2002 season) and when Shaq was coming off three consecutive titles with the Lakers.
Mourning eventually returned. After a brief stint in New Jersey he was not playing in the spring of 2005 when he received a phone call from the one man he has trusted more than any other in his professional career, Heat president Pat Riley.
Shaquille O'Neal, Alonzo Mourning with 2006 championship trophy.
"Basically Pat told me, 'Shaq wants you here,'" Mourning said. "When I came here he said, 'Look, I want to win, you want to win. You helped start this. And I want you here.' He said, 'Let's do it.'"
The Heat had acquired Shaq the previous summer, believing by teaming him with Dwyane Wade the path to a championship would be paved. But now, they were asking Zo to return and team up with his biggest nemesis to help increase those chances.
Remember, this rivalry was heated. Shaq was outspoken. He never cared for political correctness and never spared feelings. He mocked Mourning (and Laettner) in a rap song and once compared himself to a Mercedes and Mourning to a BMW.
Shaq even admitted to backing out of a deal with Orlando that would have paid him $80 million when he heard Mourning was re-signing with Miami for more than $100 million. This even though Shaq's deal was for a higher annual rate being four years compared to Mourning's seven year agreement. The Magic never upped their offer and Shaq was off to L.A.
"I wanted more than him, he wanted more than me," Mourning said. "It was a competition."
Mourning says now the comments never bothered him. "That's Shaq, though, he hasn't changed a bit," he said. But that's easy to say now considering how the relationship turned.
About 15 months after becoming teammates, Shaq and Mourning were celebrating a title together. Shaq remained the alpha male with Mourning ironically becoming his backup after miraculously resuming his career following his kidney transplant.
"He saw my hunger and my approach to the game and my professionalism," Mourning said. "We developed this brotherly type of relationship and respect for one another, stronger respect even more because we complemented one another."
Old rivals share Hall of Fame moment
Shaquille O'Neal learned he would be entering the Hall of Fame in 2016, two years after Mourning was enshrined. He asked four Hall of Famers to join him on the podium – Bill Russell, Julius Erving, Isiah Thomas and Mourning.
Shaq then honored Mourning during his speech.
"Alonzo Mourning, arch-nemesis turned great friend. We both entered the league together in 1992, had fierce battles together, he'd dunk on me, I'd dunk on him.
"In 2006 we joined forces together to win his first and my fourth title for the Miami Heat. Thank you, Zo. Couldn't have done it without you."
Mourning was touched, not only by the moment but just the fact that there he was, sitting on that stage on the most important night of Shaq's professional career.
That night, before the ceremony, Mourning approached Shaq, who was standing with his mother.
"I said, 'Thank you for inviting me and being a part of this. I did not think that you thought that much of me,'" Mourning said.
Mourning saw a look on Shaq's face he had never seen.
"He looked at his mom and said, 'Can you believe he said that?' I said, 'I'm serious. No insult at all, I didn't think you thought that much of me for me to be on this stage on this night.'
"He grabbed me and hugged me. His mom said, 'We love you, Zo. What you meant to Shaq's career, we love you.' That gave me an understanding of where we stood."
And now they share more than a title as teammates and a plaque in Springfield. Last season the Heat retired Shaq's number, raising it to the rafters of AmericanAirlines Arena where Mourning's already hung.
The first two picks of the draft one quarter of a century earlier forever linked in so many ways.
"Both of our careers were storybook," Mourning said. "Where he came from a Military background. I came from foster care and the list goes on. Both humble beginnings. We grew up in broken homes. We grew up hungry, wanting more and we played like it."

What Are Some of Pennsylvania's Famous Landmarks?

Touted as a breakthrough in personal transportation that is also environmentally friendly, the Segway Personal Transporter is making a name for itself in the sightseeing business. Scores of companies across the country conduct Segway tours of urban and suburban points of interest. History buffs planning trips to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, may tour the famous Civil War battlefield on Segways.
At least two companies conduct Segway tours of Gettysburg's various points of interest, including the famous battlefield where so many Union and Confederate soldiers gave up their lives or were forever crippled. SegTours LLC and Segs in the City maintain offices close to the historic battlefields and national cemetery. SegTours LLC 29 Taneytown Rd. Gettysburg, PA 17325 888-473-4868 segtours.com Segs in the City Howe Avenue Gettysburg, PA 17325 800-734-7393 segsinthecity.com/gettysburg safari.htm
Tour Content
SegTours offers a trio of escorted Gettysburg tours. The first is a 2 1/2-hour circuit covering the western battlefield, which saw the greatest amount of action in 1863, while the second focuses on the eastern battlefield and takes only 1 1/2 hours. The third, which lasts two hours, is designed for those who are less interested in sightseeing but want to sample the Segway experience. Segs in the City offers a three-hour battlefield tour, a two-hour trip focusing on landmarks from the second day of the battle and a 1 1/2-hour tour of the battlefield at sunset. Both companies offer quick courses on proper use of the Segway and supply riders with helmets.
Touring Gettysburg by Segway offers an entertaining alternative to a guided bus tour or a self-guided walk through the city's historic areas and Civil War sites. Just being out in the open air gives visitors a better sense of place and history than is possible when crammed into a tour bus with only brief stops to debark and look around. Although walking and Segway tours have these positive factors in common, the Segway can move at speeds up to 12 1/2 mph, allowing tourists to cover much more ground than would be possible on foot in a similar period of time. Given the size of the Gettysburg battlefields, that's an important advantage.
The vagaries of Mother Nature can obviously disrupt the schedule for Segway tours, whose passengers are exposed to the elements. For this reason, both Gettysburg tour operators close shop during the cold weather months, roughly November to March. Families with young children may want to make alternative plans for seeing the sights of Gettysburg, as both tour companies have a minimum age for Segway tours. The minimum age for SegTours is 16, while it's 14 for Segs in the City.
Other Practical Information
Gettysburg's two Segway tour operators set a maximum passenger weight of 260 lb. and urge that those taking a tour arrive early for a brief orientation on how the Segway works. Both companies provide a staff member as an escort for each tour, although narration at points of interest in Gettysburg is prerecorded and delivered through earphones in the helmets of tour participants.

BkiUal3xK19JmhArA_Qs | Some of the greatest artists are those without formal training or any solid rank in the established art world. The term "outsider art" is sometimes applied to those rebellious artists whose creations are derived straight from their rugged soul. But what happens when traditional galleries begin to embrace the outsider? Ross Brodar, an artist based in New York, will be showing a selection of works that represent his outsider presence at Van Der Plas Gallery alongside Ukrainianborn artist, Konstantin Bokov. The show will run from December 12, 2013 to January 12, 2014 at 156 Orchard St., New York, NY.
Influenced by his urban landscape, Ross Brodar's early work can be found on scrap pieces of wood or metal. Some of his best work is painted onto doors that he found on the street near his studio in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Over the years he has painted more and more tribal faces and figures on traditional canvases using acrylic paint. However, his crude character still stands out with bold colors and thick strong brush strokes that can be seen from across the room. Every painting is truly raw. Owing nothing to tradition or trends, Ross's work may be confrontational at first, but must be perceived from outside the boundaries of traditional art.
Ross Brodar grew up as a defiant teen on Long Island, NY and spent several years in a therapeutic facility where he discovered painting. Always in tune with his rebellious nature, Ross Brodar spent a decade stationed on the street outside of the Outsider Art Fair, protesting their insider exclusiveness. He often sold more work than the artists found inside the fair. Then, a breakthrough: Amsterdam-based Olof Gallery picked up Ross in 2008 and represented him in the Fair for the next four years during which time he sold thousands of dollars worth of work. Orphaned Angels will mark the end of another successful year and the blessed beginning of a new one. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

I found Jackie's name and counselling service through an advertisement. I wanted some help over my addictive behaviour, specifically excessive and secretive drinking. I met her for a 30 minute consultation and immediately felt a rapport and felt she would be able to help me. Over a subsequent series of consultations, we discussed a range of issues and gradually a felt I was able to regain control over aspects of my life that I became aware I had lost. By the time we met, I had stopped my inappropriate drinking, apart from one occasion, which I was able to be open about with my partner for the first time ever. By the penultimate meeting, Jackie asked me if I would feel comfortable with bringing the consultations to a close, which I said I would. The important thing for me was that I felt relaxed and comfortable discussing any matter with Jackie and did not feel stereotyped or that she was applying some abstract theory to my situation. Rather, she helped me to deal with my issues in a way that I felt and continue to feel I would be able apply in the future. I would recommend anyone seeking help with their lives taking advantage of the consultation. I did not regret it
I can now move forward by being guided through my feelings. Time has flown by!
Jackie really got to understand me and what made me tick. I think her approach was spot on. I feel transformed by my counselling experience.
I can't thank you enough for all your help. You
certainly helped me to clear my head about a number of issues and how best to deal with them in my day to day life. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to other people who may feel the same way I was.
You have helped me tremendously to look at things from a different viewpoint and not to blame myself so much. I feel quite happy and at peace with myself for now.

BkiUdRw4eIZjuBQZunxZ | There is quite a lot of free navigation software based on OpenStreetMap, but it's somewhat difficult to find something that actually works for the given purpose. I feel like I need to document for myself what to use. And why not share the documentation? Hence this blog post.
It's easy on Android – there's OsmAnd there. OsmAnd is somewhat difficult to use but otherwise it's nice, working well and providing a lot of useful features.
It's less easy on desktop. After some searching I got amazed by BRouter, which is a navigation backend capable of offline OpenStreetMap based navigation. That's a killer feature itself, but BRouter also provides another outstanding feature. You can create complex BRouter profiles describing your navigational preferences, which is especially useful for bike navigation. BRouter can't be used without reading its documentation first and it takes some effort to make it running. But it's not too difficult and once BRouter is up, it's amazing.
BRouter can be used on both desktop and Android, but it's just a backend server. You need some frontend to actually use it. You can use OsmAnd on Android. There is a very plain BRouter application to set up the server and then BRouter can be chosen as the navigation backend in OsmAnd preferences. As for desktop, you can use Web client for BRouter. It can be used locally or as an online Web application, with your selected set of profiles. There is also an online demo for testing BRouter with its included profiles (there are more profiles available from third parties, see documentation).
For simpler planning, especially for making simple sequences of track points used e.g. by some Garmin devices, FoxtrotGPS is well usable. Unfortunately FoxtrotGPS seems incapable of displaying complex GPX tracks. But then there is GPX Viewer, which is nice for viewing GPX tracks. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdOw5qoaAwtECZQnK | Share Old Appalachia
Old Appalachia was an ancient, Paleozoic Era land mass of igneous and metamorphic rock located where the North American Atlantic sea coast and its borderlands now lie. About 600 million years ago, Old Appalachia began a geologic history of mountain building and reduction of which Appalachia's Blue Ridge and Piedmont physiographic regions are the modern remnants.
Throughout most of the Paleozoic, Old Appalachia was bordered on the west by an inland sea that extended across the present middle part of the United States to the modern Rocky Mountains. The deepest part of the inland sea was a geosyncline trough that filled with sediments washed down from the flanks of Old Appalachia. As the sediments accumulated in the trough the coast of the inland sea gradually sank but Old Appalachia's borderland was maintained by uplifts.
The igneous and metamorphic rock of Old Appalachia and the newer sedimentary formations in the geosyncline trough were uplifted during the later mountain-building period called the Appalachian Orogeny. After being eroded to a near featureless plain in the Mesozoic Era, the Appalachian land mass was again uplifted. Each time the land mass was re-elevated the rocks were warped, buckled, folded, and broken, and the rejuvenated streams resumed their erosive cutting power.
South of New England and the Adirondacks, the differences in deformation and resistance of the bedrock to erosion have resulted in the current Appalachian Highlands of four physiographic regions: On the eastward side of Old Appalachia is the non-mountainous Piedmont Region. The westward side of Old Appalachia is the mountainous Blue Ridge Region that marks the boundary of West Virginia in eastern Jefferson County. The other two regions, the Plateau and the Ridge and Valley, make up the remainder of our state.

BkiUd304uzlh5508BCXH | Nokia announces the N1 Android tablet, will launch in China in early 2015
Posted by Evan Selleck on Nov 18, 2014 in Android, iPad mini 3, Nokia
In 2013, Nokia sold off a major section of itself to Microsoft, waving goodbye to its Devices & Services division. Turns out you don't need that particular area to still release a device running services, though.
On Tuesday, November 18, Nokia officially unveiled the N1 Android-based tablet. The device bears a unibody Aluminum construction, it runs Google's newest version of Android, 5.0 Lollipop, and it bears Nokia's proprietary software, the Z Launcher, as its entry point for the user. Nokia is also licensing its name, design and Z Launcher to Foxconn (a major supply partner to Apple). As a result, Foxconn will manufacture and sell the new tablet.
As far as specifications go, the N1 tablet features a 7.-inch display with a resolution of 2048×1536 resolution (the same size and resolution of the iPad mini 3). Under the hood, there is a 64-bit Atom Z3580 processor, 32GB of built-in storage and 2GB of RAM. On the back, there's an 8-megapixel camera, and a 5MP front-facing shooter on the other side. On the bottom, near the charging port (which is a microUSB Type C reversible connector), there are stereo speakers. The battery measures in at 5300mAh, while the frame measures in at only 6.9mm-thick.
Nokia is looking to launch the N1 tablet in China at the early part of 2015, and it will cost only $249. Nokia says that other countries will be considered, and that the N1 tablet will launch "in other markets" at some point after the initial launch.
What do you think of the N1 tablet?

Nitrate-dependent iron(II) oxidation in paddy soil.
Ratering S1, Schnell S.
Max-Planck-Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology, Marburg, Germany.
Iron(III) profiles of flooded paddy soil incubated in the greenhouse indicated oxidation of iron(II) in the upper 6 mm soil layer. Measurement of oxygen with a Clark-type microelectrode showed that oxygen was only responsible for the oxidation of iron(II) in the upper 3 mm. In the soil beneath, nitrate could be used as electron acceptor instead of oxygen for the oxidation of the iron(II). Nitrate was still available 3 mm below the soil surface, and denitrifying activity was indicated by higher concentrations of nitrite between 3 and 6 mm soil depth. Nitrate was generated by nitrification from ammonium. Ammonium concentrations increased beneath 6 mm soil depth, indicating ammonium release and diffusion from deeper soil layers. High concentrations of ammonium were also found at the surface, probably resulting from N2 fixation by cyanobacteria. Experimental adjustment of the nitrate concentration in the flooding water to 200 microM stimulated nitrate-dependent iron(II) oxidation, which was indicated by significantly lower iron(II) concentrations in soil layers in which nitrate-dependent iron(II) oxidation was proposed. Soil incubated in the dark showed high iron(III) concentrations only in the layer where oxygen was still available. In this soil, the nitrogen pool was depleted because of the lack of N2 fixation by cyanobacteria. In contrast, soil incubated in the dark with 500 microM nitrate in the flooding water showed significantly higher iron(II) and significantly lower iron(II) concentrations in the anoxic soil layers, indicating nitrate-dependent iron(II) oxidation. Anoxic incubations of soil with nitrate in the flooding water also showed high concentrations of iron(II) and low concentrations of iron(II) in the upper 3 mm. As oxygen was excluded in anoxic incubations, the high iron(III) concentrations are a sign of the activity of nitrate-dependent iron(II) oxidizers. The presence of these bacteria in non-amended soil was also indicated by the most probable number (MPN) counts of nitrate-dependent iron(II) oxidizers in the layer of 3-4 mm soil depth, which revealed 1.6 x 10(6) bacteria g(-1) dry weight.

BkiUdpo5qYVBaeua0ATX | Are you using the wisdom you've learned throughout your years to live your healthiest and best life possible? Are your elder years as fulfilling and enjoyable as you imagined them to be?
As a healthcare practitioner and author, I have made it my ikigai, or life's purpose, to help people be as healthy and happy as possible. Let me introduce myself, I am Dr. Susan Levy, a Colorado native and a (w)holistically orientated Chiropractor with decades of experience in healthcare. My career began with training as a nursing assistant. I then became a massage therapist, a registered nurse and a doctor of Chiropractic care. I am certified in acupuncture and have studied numerous other healing modalities and noninvasive diagnostic techniques including Clinical Kinesiology.
The basis and foundation of my books, "Your Body Can Talk, 2nd Edition" and "Your Aging Body Can Talk," is Clinical Kinesiology. It is a unique method of evaluating an individual person's state of health through muscle testing. When I test a patient using the method of Clinical Kinesiology, I use their body as the main diagnostic instrument in order to determine their state of health and balance.
Over the course of this 10 month series I will explore several important facets of what I call "Creative Eldering." The following articles in this series will explore eldering as it is seen through many various cultures and traditions. There will be guidelines and principles you can follow in order to define your new "youthing" lifestyle. I will discuss methods to enhance your physical mobility and offer exercises that honor your body's limitations while still encouraging an active lifestyle in your older years. Other articles will present information on healthy diet and nutrition choices and tips on moving toxins and inflammation out of your body. Toward the end of this series I will delineate strategies that maintain brain longevity and promote youthful eldering. The themes of learning how to walk your healthiest path through elderhood and how to fully recognize yourself as a wise elder will be interwoven throughout this series.
The Creative Eldering series will follow the format of my upcoming book to introduce you to new concepts and remind you of familiar common sense health principles. "Your Aging Body Can Talk" will be available on May 1, 2017. Until my next article, I hope you joyously reflect on the various traditions that you have created within your family and community throughout your lifetime. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUaanxK1yAgWay2Sfm | Raam modernised toilets at a North London School including new heating and water supply system, hidden cisterns and electrical re-wiring.
Stroud Green Primary School instructed a complete face lift and modernisation to their existing toilet facilities working to a designated budget and time restrictions.
Our Public Sector Contracts Manager was able to liaise, design and implement a complete new design layout bringing the facilities up to modern building regulations and standards while creating a fresh but practical look.
Our highly experienced heating engineer designed and fitted a new heating and water supply system and installed hidden cistern toilet cubicles. Our Electricians implemented a complete re-wire while our decorating team used a variety of skills and craftsmanship to give it a fresh new look fitting a specialised Polysafe non-slip flooring.
The management team of the school were delighted with the final product and reliability of Raam Construction Ltd, with all works been completed on time and on budget. Impressed by our team of clean, efficient and courteous tradesmen and excellent communication and cooperation skills from all contracts managers involved. They highly rated us as suitable and recommended London building Contractors for any work within the public sector. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUfXg25V5jP8O73lDP | Q: read() with setsockopt() in C I'm trying to write a server-client code and I'm stuck at a point. I want the client to read for a certain amount of time and timeout. I tried using setsockopt() with SO_RCVTIMEO specifying the time in timeval struct, but my read() doesn't wait for the time I specify in timeval struct.
Thing is, read() is waiting for the specified time if I just use read() after setsockopt(). If I first call write() and then read(), the read() function times-out immediately without waiting for the specified time as given in timeval struct.
My code is shown below:
//sample client code
#include<stdio.h>
#include<sys/types.h>
#include<sys/socket.h>
#include<netinet/in.h>
#include<netdb.h>
void error(char *msg)
{
perror(msg);
exit(1);
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int a=1;
fd_set readfds,writefds;
int ready_for_reading,reading;
struct timeval time_out;
int sockfd,newsockfd,portno,n;
struct sockaddr_in serv_addr;
struct hostent *server;
// server=gethostbyname(argv[1]);
char buffer[256];
portno=atoi(argv[2]);
sockfd=socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,0);
server=gethostbyname(argv[1]);
serv_addr.sin_family=AF_INET;
serv_addr.sin_port=htons(portno);
bcopy((char *)server->h_addr,
(char *)&serv_addr.sin_addr.s_addr,
server->h_length);
time_out.tv_sec = 15; // 15 seconds
time_out.tv_usec = 0; // 0 milliseconds
// sockfd=socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,0);
if(sockfd==-1)
error("\nError creating socket");
// if(setsockopt (sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVTIMEO, (char *)&time_out, sizeof (time_out)))
// error("\n\tsetsockopt function has a problem\n");
n=connect(sockfd,(struct sockaddr *)&serv_addr,sizeof(serv_addr));
if(n==-1)
error("\nError connecting to server");
printf("\nEnter client's msg:");
fgets(buffer,255,stdin);
n=write(sockfd,buffer,strlen(buffer));
if(n<0)
error("\nMsg not written to server");
if(setsockopt (sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVTIMEO, (char *)&time_out, sizeof(time_out)))
error("\n\tsetsockopt function has a problem\n");
// FD_ZERO(&readfds);
// FD_SET(sockfd,&readfds);
n=read(sockfd,buffer,255);
// ready_for_reading=select(sockfd,&readfds,NULL,NULL,&time_out);
// printf("\nready_for_reading=%d",ready_for_reading);
/* if (ready_for_reading)
{
// reading = read(newsockfd, buffer, 255);
printf("Read, %d bytes from input : %s \n", n,buffer);
}
else
{
printf(" 10 Seconds are over - no data input \n");
return 0;
}
*/
if(n<0)
printf("\nMsg not read from server");
if(n==0)
{
printf("\n No ack from server");
return 0;
}
printf("\nServer's ack:%s\n",buffer);
/* if (ready_for_reading)
{
// reading = read(newsockfd, buffer, 255);
printf("Read, %d bytes from input : %s \n", n,buffer);
}
else
{
printf(" 10 Seconds are over - no data input \n");
return 0;
}
*/
return 0;
}
In my code above, I want the read() operation to timeout in 15secs. But it times-out immediately. I need help!!!
A: If read returns zero, that means the connection is closed. There is nothing to wait for, so it cannot wait.
Also, this code is broken:
printf("\nServer's ack:%s\n",buffer);
You can only use the %s format specifier to print a C-style string. The way you've used it, there is no way it could know how many bytes to print because that's only held in the variable n at this point in your code.

BkiUdeM4eIZijj9JPFos | Musculoskeletal disorders account for approximately one-third of all work-related injuries and illness costs in this country. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, these conditions typically affect muscles, nerves, tendons, joints, and ligaments.
Examples of common musculoskeletal disorders include lower back pain, premature arthritis, fibromyalgia, bursitis, tendinitis and carpal tunnel syndrome.
The construction sector is one of the most dangerous workplaces in the country, and this industry also includes some of the highest risks of musculoskeletal injuries. Unfortunately, these risks tend to be overlooked because of the existence of other, more high-profile dangers in this industry, including fall accidents, trench collapses and scaffolding accidents.
Workers in the construction industry who are often working close to the ground, such as those involved in deck installation or installation of floor coverings, may be at a higher risk for back pain and back injuries. Any activity that requires lots of bending, kneeling, stooping or squatting over a prolonged period of time can increase the risk of musculoskeletal disorders.
Workers involved in concrete installation must bend over and pull the board over concrete. This puts heavy pressure and strain on a worker's arm and shoulder muscles, and this can increase the risk of injury.
Taking frequent rest breaks can help relax tired muscles and tendons. Employers can also hire more workers to help spread the workload and reduce the risk of such injuries.

BkiUe5HxK6EuNBRhJvt6 | Herbalife's shorts should beware the next buyback.
The noise surrounding Herbalife (NYSE:HLF) is intense, but it's all noise, no signal. Herbalife is a legal business that's trading at a ridiculous valuation -- less than eight times this year's earnings -- implying no growth. But we have a ton of value-creating actions -- and management is making many of them -- that could drive the stock higher in the near term. So, my Special Situations portfolio is setting up an aggressive synthetic long on Herbalife that will return massively if Herbalife trades where it should.
On my first buy recommendation for Herbalife options in May, I was attacked vehemently and incoherently by short investors. I expect more of that now, as shorts attempt to muddy the waters -- doing anything but addressing Herbalife's real fundamentals -- and obscure the immense value in the stock. That virulence and vitriol scare away many investors, keeping the stock price down.
In my first article, I expounded on why Herbalife is not a pyramid scheme, and why it offers a huge opportunity for gain. In fact, I think the stock is worth at least $120 today, given its growth profile and attractive capital allocation policies. Management has done a fabulous job buying back stock when it's cheap, and that will be reflected in the future as this coiled spring shoots skyward.
And now we have a new catalyst in the offing: Management is considering another leveraged recapitalization. The proximate effect of a debt-for-buyback scheme would be to drive shares rapidly higher as the massive short interest -- now at 55% of the float -- has to be covered.
I estimate that Herbalife could borrow $1 billion, and easily afford the 6% interest or thereabouts for a buyback. As management happily noted on the conference call, the company has a modest debt/EBITDA ratio of 1.2, so it could easily afford the increased interest. And note, too, that I thought the real reason for the recent dividend cut was so that the company could have the free cash flow to float more debt. So, I expect another leveraged recap in the near future.
When that happens, the game is nearly over for the shorts. A $1 billion buyback, once completed, would raise short interest to more than 90% of the float. The slightest good news would make the stock soar. For more on Herbalife, follow me on Twitter: @TMFRoyal. And check out my dedicated discussion board.
Will Bill Ackman get burned? Some, but not much. He's already largely exited his common stock position, and his downside is whatever he paid for his options. After his exaggerated presentation in late July -- his supposed "deathblow" to the "Enron-like fraud" at Herbalife -- and then his ridiculous mea culpa a few days later, Ackman no longer has credibility on this stock. I won't be surprised to hear the Ackman salvo is over, and he's cleared out his position and moved on.
Another great sign: Insiders at the highest levels of Herbalife are buying the stock. The CFO, COO, and President each dropped from $555,000 to $600,000 on stock – at prices between $55 and $56 per share – in the wake of the company's earnings release. This is a huge vote of confidence.
My Special Situations portfolio is setting up an aggressive synthetic long to take advantage of this massive mispricing. I'm selling one January 2016 $60 put, and using those funds to buy two January 2016 $80 calls, and six January 2016 $100 calls. For more on Herbalife, follow me on Twitter: @TMFRoyal.

BkiUdvc4uzlh3ybkMFQu | UN warns of a Nuclear War
Mar. 15, 2022 Updated 9:15 am. IST
Ukraine-Russian war: UN says nuclear conflict a possibility
Pressing an alarm button, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the prospect of nuclear conflict is now back within the realm of possibility.
Guterres was reacting to Russia's decision to raise the alert level for its nuclear forces after invading Ukraine
"The prospect of nuclear conflict, once unthinkable, is now back within the realm of possibility," Guterres told reporters
Russia's invasion of Ukraine that began on Feb. 24 has so far sent more than 2.8 million people fleeing across Ukraine's borders and trapped hundreds of thousands in besieged cities while triggering broad Western sanctions on Russia.
Russian President Vladimir Putin late last month said that his nation's nuclear forces should be put on high alert, raising fears that Russia's invasion of Ukraine could lead to nuclear war. U.S. officials have said they have seen no reason so far to change Washington's nuclear alert levels.
Russia and the United States have by far the biggest arsenals of nuclear warheads after the Cold War that divided the world for much of the 20th century, pitting the West against the Soviet Union and its allies.
Guterres also called for the preservation of the security and safety of nuclear facilities after a fire at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine, Europe's biggest of its kind, that broke out during a takeover of the plant by Russian forces.
"It is time to stop the horror unleashed on the people of Ukraine and get on the path of diplomacy and peace," Guterres said.
He also said the UN was going to allocate a further $40 million from its Central Emergency Response fund to ramp up humanitarian assistance for Ukraine.
"This funding will help get critical supplies of food, water, medicines, and other lifesaving aid into the country as well as provide cash assistance," Guterres said.
Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Chairman-in-Office Zbigniew Rau told a UN Security Council meeting that Russia's aggression threatened the existence of OSCE, which has nearly 60 members, including Russia.
"Its non-compliance with OSCE principals and commitments poses questions not only about the future of the organization but also about stability of the rules-based order," Rau said, urging both the UN and OSCE to reinforce efforts to restore peace.
"Smoldering ashes of Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Mariupol and thousands of innocent lives lost are a stark reminder of a heavy price that we pay for indifference in the face of brute force," he said. | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUd1HxK4sA-46xOh6r | Get rid or lose beer belly fat or the beer gut, as nothing can hide it, not even "cleverly cut" outfits. You can camouflage a bad haircut with a wig. You can hide your terrible eyesight behind contact lenses. You can cover a bald head with a toupee. But beer belly fat? It's out there for all the world to see!
First off, change your drinking habits. Besides, in a social setting you are apt to enjoy the company of your friends even more when you drink in moderation.
Drinking in moderation is defined by the US Dept. of Health to mean no more than one drink a day for women or two drinks a day for men. One drink is either a bottle of beer (12 oz.), one glass of wine (5 oz.) or one shot of liquor (1.5oz).
The next step is no big secret: Eat foods with less fat and calories, and reduce the portions.
Increase your intake of fresh fruits, vegetables (preferably green) and raw nuts. Since nutrients are partly embedded under the skin in most fruits, eat them with the skin whenever possible.
When having meat, make it unprocessed meat and remove the fat. Focus on consuming lean protein which is commonly defined as meat with no more than 55 calories and 2-3 grams of fat per serving.
Lastly, and not surprisingly, you must perform the correct exercises to further accelerate abdominal fat loss.
Performing crunches and using abs machines have been found to be utterly useless in losing stomach fat. These only work the abdominal muscles, but do absolutely nothing to burn stubborn abdominal fat!
Why Must You Lose the Beer Belly Fat Fast Now?
According to a study by Dr. Xiang Gao of the Harvard School of Public Health, "central obesity" (aka beer belly fat) is associated with a 60% higher risk of having Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS). This is a sleep disorder where an individual feels discomfort in the legs, and the only way to relieve the discomfort is to move the legs frequently.
And then there's the back pain problem. Due to the excess weight in the stomach area, the body is now being pushed forward causing chronic lower back pain.
Are you going to continue to carry that unhealthy beer belly fat around, or do you want to be healthy and attractive now? | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 3 |
BkiUb4o5qsNCPSsgafml | Q: To query documents - based on a property of an object which is part of a list within the document I am trying to fetch all documents which match the below criteria but the result seems incorrect.
Criteria : Movies which have release date matching the given range and this release timeline is active
isActive=true and releaseDate >= 2020-04-20 and releaseDate <= 2020-04-21
Each document is of the type Movie, which contains a list of movieTimeline objects, each movieTimeline has an isActive and releaseDate property.
At any point a single movieTimeline can be active in a document.
Structure of the document -
@Document
public class Movie extends BaseDocument
{
private String name;
private List<MovieTimeline> movieTimelines;
...
public class MovieTimeline
{
private Boolean isActive;
private LocalDateTime releaseDate;
private String description;
...
The release date property is of type LocalDateTime in Java and is stored in 2020-04-20T05:00:00.000+00:00 format in DB.
This is the code I have tried to retrieve the data-
@Repository
public interface MovieRepository extends MongoRepository<Movie,String>
{
List<Movie> findByMovieTimelines_ReleaseDateBetweenAndMovieTimelines_IsActive(LocalDateTime from, LocalDateTime to, boolean isActive);

Does MongoDB have any filters or operators which can be used to fetch these documents in a single query?
A: MongoDB provides $elemMatch projection operator that should be able to satisfy your conditions.
Particularly, your document is made up of an array of documents. So here is another reference you can use to construct queries for such type of data.
Here is what I found when I tested with your condition and sample data. My query is in Mongo Shell and not Java/Spring, so please rewrite it in the required language.
Since you want to fetch only those documents that have active movie timelines, "isActive" attribute in "movieTimelines" must be true. This condition alone can be satisfied using the below query:
db.collectionName.find({ "movieTimelines": { $elemMatch: { "isActive": true } } })
The release date also needs to be in the given range which means that the query needs to address "releaseDate" attribute in "movieTimelines". This condition can be queried this way:
db.collectionName.find({ "movieTimelines": { $elemMatch: { "releaseDate": { $gte: ISODate("2020-04-20T00:00:00"), $lte: ISODate("2020-04-21T00:00:00") } } } })
or
db.collectionName.find({ "movieTimelines": { $elemMatch: { "releaseDate": { $gte: ISODate("2020-04-20"), $lte: ISODate("2020-04-21") } } } })
For the above query, the "releaseDate" values are "ISODate()" objects instead of strings in my database. Strings can be converted to ISODate objects using using aggregators such as toDate, dateFromString, etc.
Even if "releaseDate" value is a string, the query will work if the datatype in the condition is changed to string. It just may not be good practice.
db.collectionName.find({ "movieTimelines": { $elemMatch: { "releaseDate": { $gte: "2020-04-20", $lte: "2020-04-21" } } } })
So to satisfy both your conditions, the two queries need to be combined into one like this:
db.collectionName.find({ "movieTimelines": { $elemMatch: { "isActive": true, "releaseDate": { $gte: ISODate("2020-04-20T00:00:00"), $lte: ISODate("2020-04-21T00:00:00") } } } })
I hope this answers your question.

BkiUdR3xK7IDPjMdKt6j | Awesome news out of Quebec recently, as Elza Kephart has announced that her latest film, Go In The Wilderness , is in post-production and will begin a crowd-funding campaign on October 16.
Shot entirely in the wilderness of Quebec (700 miles north of Montreal), Go In The Wilderness is the story of Lilith, the rebellious first mate of Adam, after she escapes the Garden Of Eden. Kephart has an innate skill for detail and visual stimulation with her films, so sticking her in the northern woods with a fantastic story line is bound to bring forth bountiful goods.
I was fortunate enough to check out a teaser trailer and I won't mince words. The film looks stunning.
GITW has already been shot and edited, financed completely independently thanks to the support of Kephart's friends and family. As of press time, Elza is hoping to raise $30,000 to complete post-production.
Please keep your eyes peeled on both the film's Facebook page and official website for more details and info on how you can help make this film a reality!

BkiUd7Q5qoYA2skZ5o78 | The Crusades were a series of military campaigns that took place in the Middle East between the Muslims and Christians, instigated by the capture of Jerusalem in 1076.
Jerusalem is considered the most holy city in the world for Christians, being both the place where Jesus spent most of his life and where he was crucified.
However, the city is also very important to Muslims as the founder of their faith, Muhammad, had also spent much time there.
After the Muslims took Jerusalem in 1076, they constructed the Dome of the Rock around the rock that Muhammad is believed to have prayed on, and so marked the beginning of a war between the Muslims and the Christians that would last almost 200 years.
Once they had set off on their journey, the first crusaders referred to themselves as pilgrims and wore large red crosses. It was this that prompted the name 'crusade', which derived from the latin work 'crux'.
The taking of this crux to Jerusalem was seen by the crusaders as a symbol of their vows, which they believed would only be fulfilled once they had concluded their armed mission and reached their destination.
What was the Legacy of the Crusades?

Rooster Walk 11 announces full band lineup
Article Contributed by Rooster Walk | Published on Thursday, March 7, 2019
Sam Bush Band, Steep Canyon Rangers, Sierra Hull and Ghost Light are among the final list of bands announced for the 11th annual Rooster Walk Music & Arts Festival. Other new additions include: The Steel Wheels, The Black Lillies, 'Yarn Morrison' (Yarn's tribute to Van Morrison), Runaway Gin, The Trongone Band, Sanctum Sully, Disco Risqué, Kate Rhudy, Adar, The Folly, Chamomile & Whiskey, Prosperity's Folly, The Drove, and MHC Praise Band.
RW11 will offer six different stages hosting live music. The festival will take place Memorial Day Weekend, May 23-26, 2019, at the idyllic Pop's Farm in the rolling hillsides near Martinsville, Va. These newly announced bands join a lineup that already features: Galactic, Shovels & Rope, The Marcus King Band, Billy Strings, King & Strings, Turkuaz, BIG Something, The Lil Smokies, Yarn, Roosevelt Collier Band, Mountain Heart, The Black Lillies, The Jammy Jam (hosted by The Lil' Smokies), Kendall Street Company, Fireside Collective, South Hill Banks, The Vegabonds, PalmPalm, State Birds, C2 & The Brothers Reed, Josh Shilling, Wallace Mullinax, After Jack, Jules & The Agreeables, and PHCC Jazz Band.
"We feel lucky and honored to have such an incredible cast of bands at Rooster Walk 11," said Johnny Buck, a co-founder of the festival. "The music is a huge part of what makes Rooster Walk such an intimate, unforgettable experience, along with the amazing venue, the sense of community at the event, and the fact that we aren't some huge, sprawling festival. Rooster Walk is a really fun, not-too-big, not-too-small, family friendly celebration of life. Add to that the top-shelf kids' area, food, art, outdoor activities, craft beer offerings and on-site camping, and you'll be hard pressed to find a better roots music experience anywhere for the ticket price."
Rooster Walk has been named one of the Top 5 festivals in the state by the Richmond-Times Dispatch. It also has been voted the region's Most Creative Charitable Event by readers of Virginia Living Magazine. The festival was created in memory of late Martinsville, Va. natives Edwin "The Rooster" Penn and Walker Shank, who graduated from Martinsville High School in 2000 along with Buck and fellow festival co-founder William Baptist.
A portion of proceeds from the festival will be donated to local and regional charities, including Rooster Walk's own Penn-Shank Memorial Endowment Scholarship Fund for students at Martinsville High School, and the Rooster Walk Music Instrument Program for public band programs in the local city and county school systems. In 2018, Rooster Walk, Inc. donated more than $30,000 to local and regional charities.
The festival is produced by Rooster Walk Inc., a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to promoting music, arts and education in its home of Martinsville-Henry County, Va. Since 2009, Rooster Walk Inc. has donated more than $175,000 to local and regional charities.

Posted on May 25, 2015 by Jon Chaisson
It was 28 years ago today that The Cure's Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me was released, and of course I've got it playing on my PC while I'm writing this up.
The Cure's release history up to that date in the US was quite scattershot in the mid-80s…multiple labels over the course of four years (Boys Don't Cry on PVC, Happily Ever After and Pornography on A&M, the 1982-83 singles and The Top on Sire). It wasn't until 1985's much poppier and upbeat The Head on the Door showed a new and invigorated band, and their new label Elektra made sure they didn't falter. The 1986 singles compilation Standing on a Beach only served to push their status ever higher, and by the time Kiss Me (or "Kiss Me Cubed" as my friends and I used to call it) came out, America had finally taken notice.
This sprawling yet exciting double album came out at the same time I was asserting my individualism as a teenager. A new circle of friends, a burgeoning record collection full of newly-found college rock, and a fresh coat of not giving a fuck anymore of what other kids thought of me. I'd gone to see them with my sister and a friend that August in Worcester, and came back with a concert tee with Robert Smith's pasty, lipsticked mug on the front and the lyrics to "Hot Hot Hot!!!" on the back. I practically wore that shirt out in the ensuing months. I certainly got a lot of guff from both kids and teachers, but I didn't care. This was the new me. Forget fitting in, time to figure out who I was.
Kiss Me was indeed a sprawling album, but like Standing on a Beach it got a hell of a lot of play on my tape players. I was a huge Cure fan by that time, and thanks to Elektra buying out the old contracts, their early releases were finally much easier to find. I listened to them all on heavy rotation whenever and wherever I could. I even predicted that "Just Like Heaven" would end up being one of their next (and best, and most famous) singles, and I was not proven wrong.
My friends and I would occasionally take road trips down to Amherst and Northampton to hang out at the record stores, and during the fall of 1987 and into 1988 this album would often be playing. [This was back in the days before most of our parents' cars had tape decks, so one of us, usually me, would lug along a boombox and have it playing in the back seat. During one memorable trip when this was playing, the drinking of many sodas that evening came to its expected fruition and I urged they pulled over. As I'm running into the woods, they pulled away, leaving me completely alone. Returning a few minutes later, they saw me on the side of the road, running after them, and slammed on the breaks, causing my radio to crash to the car's floor in a thump! loud enough that I heard it from fifty yards away.] To this day I still think of the winding Daniel Shays Highway and the back roads of Shutesbury when I listen to this album.
Compared to their earlier, darker albums of the early 80s and the intense frailty of Disintegration just a few years later, this album seems is so much more energetic, even a bit psychedelic. It kind of reminds me of Prince's Sign 'o' the Times, which had come out almost exactly two months earlier; it's a beefy double album full of multiple and quite different genres, but it's also a crowning achievement where nearly all the tracks are memorable, wonderfully produced, and leaves little to no room for boredom. But also like Prince's album, Kiss Me was a departure from their earlier albums, where they chose to break down the barriers, both creative and personal, to record something they would be proud of. I kind of think The Head on the Door was a practice run, Standing on the Beach was the fanbase test, and this was the first official run; it would culminate of course with Disintegration. It's of no surprise that this was also the era of one of their best band line-ups, with Simon Gallup on bass, Porl Thompson on guitar, Lol Tolhurst on keyboards and Boris Williams on drums. This particular quintet remains one of the strongest versions of the band for many older fans, as their sound was amazingly tight and inventive.

The Songs That Made Me
You know I can't let a good music meme pass me by, right?
As quoted from Nancy at Midlife Mixtape:
This week's Rolling Stone has a cover story called "The Songs That Made Me" in which artists share six or eight songs that had outsize influence in their lives. They're not always what you'd expect – Marilyn Manson with "Cry Me A River" by Justin Timberlake? I loved the little window into the artist's soul, and as a writing prompt you can't ask for much better. So here are the Songs That Made Me.
I'm quite certain I've done this at one point or another on my LiveJournal over the years, so some of you are not going to be the least bit surprised at some of these.
1. The Church, "Under the Milky Way".
OH HEY BIG SURPRISE THERE. Heh. I've contemplated as to why this is my all-time favorite song, and I realize it's because it was one of those songs that hit me right at the perfect moment, at the perfect time. Spring 1988, when my closest high school friends, nearly all of whom were a year ahead of me, were graduating that next month. I was torn between excitement that I too would be leaving my small town (albeit a year down the road), frustration that my closest circle of friends was vanishing way too quickly, and determination that I'd try to spend as much time as I could with them before they left. This song fit the mood perfectly: a sadness for things ending, a wishful thinking for things yet started, and the stasis of waiting in between.
2. Ned's Atomic Dustbin, "All I Ask of Myself Is That I Hold Together".
Note: This song must be listened to as loud as possible. Summer 1995, in which I've got a day off from my job at the multiplex up on Somerville. Earlier that year I decide that, despite my lingering emotional and financial depression, I'm going to kick my own ass and get this writing thing started already. I'm switching between WFNX and WBCN on the radio dial during those summer afternoons, windows open, while I hammer away on my girlfriend's low-end PC (running on Windows 3.1!). A lot of transcription of old work, but also many words on completely new projects as well. A consistent writing habit is formed.
3. Led Zeppelin, "How Many More Times".
Late 1987, In which I hear this song and realize I need to buy myself a bass. I soon find a very cheap Arbor Stiletto for $50 at the local music store, which stays with me until I finally retire it in early 2012. I teach myself how to play it by listening to Led Zeppellin's first album, and expanding to Cocteau Twins, Wire, New Order and Joy Division, and going on from there.
4. Takako Shirai & Crazy Boys, "Cosmic Child".
The ending theme for the anime OAV Gall Force 2: Destruction. Late 1993, watching anime because I'm too broke to do anything else. The anime that changed my writing from feeble attempts at straight fiction to science fiction and fantasy, and the series that partly inspired the Mendaihu Universe in the first place. I later use the lead singer's name for a pivotal character as a gesture of thanks. [The video here is a great rip, but I really dislike the English dub. I started it a little before the song to set the scene. Unfortunately the subtitles aren't coming up…the lyrics to the song are basically a 'thank you for giving us (spiritual) life'.]
5. Semisonic, "She's Got My Number".
Sometime in 2004, in which I get hints from various people that a certain someone might be interested in me. That certain someone later informs me that one of her favorite bands is Semisonic, and puts this particular song on a mixtape (ok, a mix cd) for me. Ten happily married years later and I'm pretty sure she was trying to tell me something there. She knows me better than I know myself sometimes.
6. Gerry Rafferty, "Baker Street".
Considering I was a little kid in the 70s, that decade is a bit of a jumbled mess for me in terms of music and memory. However, I distinctly remember hearing this song on the scratchy AM radio during our family roadtrips. If we had a bag of Bugles in the car, my sisters and I would grab a few and imitate the sax solos. Decades later in 2014, and I'm winding my way down Baker Street in London, this song firmly stuck in my head.
7. Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show theme song, "This Is It".
Yeah, I was totally a diehard Looney Tunes fan as a kid. I've finally warmed to Disney to some degree, but I'm still a dedicated WB fan. To this day, whenever A. and I head to the opera or the symphony, my recognition of the pieces will still often be "Oh, that piece. The one where Elmer and Bugs…"
8. The Beatles, "Hey Jude".
It was hard to pin down exactly which Beatles song to put here, but I chose this one. My mom introduced me to this song when I was first getting into the band. This is the video I shot while in the middle of the crowd — and let me tell you, turning around and watching a football stadium-sized crowd sing along to the last half was pretty damn epic.
9. Phil Collins, "In the Air Tonight".
Okay, I'll totally cop to stealing Michael Mann's 'music video treatment' method for Miami Vice when I first started writing seriously in my teens. My first complete novel (aka the Infamous War Novel) was outlined using a specific playlist, each chapter inspired by music, including this track. The IWN is rather painful to read now, but on the other hand I'd like to think it was a successful exercise in long-form storytelling for me.
10. Pretty much any given new release date.
It's probably no coincidence that I didn't see this meme until today…New Release Tuesday. I used to passively follow release dates until late 1996 when I started working at HMV…and I've been faithfully keeping track (and purchasing on or near drop date) ever since. For the record, today's purchases included the new albums from Hot Chip, Tanlines, The Helio Sequence, Faith No More, and Brandon Flowers!

BkiUfqzxK4tBVgEFXcoz | CFLAGS et CXXFLAGS sont les noms de variables d'environnement ou de variables du Makefile qui peuvent être utilisées pour paramétrer la compilation d'un logiciel.
Ces variables sont habituellement positionnées dans un Makefile et sont ajoutées quand le compilateur est appelé. Si elles ne sont pas spécifiées dans le Makefile, alors elles seront prises directement à partir de l'environnement, si elles sont présentes. Des outils (notamment ./configure de autoconf) généreront automatiquement des Makefiles avec ces variables correctement positionnées.
CFLAGS permet d'ajouter des paramètres sur la ligne de commande qui appelle le compilateur C, alors que CXXFLAGS est utilisé pour la compilation C++. De même, une variable similaire, CPPFLAGS, permet de passer des paramètres sur la ligne de commande du Préprocesseur C.
Ce paramétrage a en général pour but d'optimiser ou déboguer le code, par exemple -g, -O2 ou (spécifique à GCC) -march=athlon.

BkiUdnY5qWTD6faZ3L8p | Adam Lippes' Fall collection embraced the sporty collegiate life—a theme familiar to those who've been following his line. Cozy cable-knit sweaters—enormous, and thick as duvets—were paired with slouchy tweed coats or a shrunken rain slicker. A wool trench with a tie-dye effect would make a cool cover-up for day or night, on- or off-campus. The rebel might be drawn to a patent-trimmed, cropped jacket or a gathered sack dress studded with brass spheres; the party girl would favor the cocktail dresses, particularly the black taffeta bubble with sequin trim or the triple-tiered plissé mini with glittery dots. While Lippes' vision remains fixed, his execution and materials have climbed to a higher level. Now let's hope for some deviation from the schoolgirl theme in the future. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdB45qoTAqsduCd_r | A week ago Friday we were going to bomb by nightfall. Then they had a White House meeting and decided to invite Congress into the game. When that went from bad to worse, they promised to do only a little damage and definitely not to hurt President Assad, the new age Hitler.
Confused? So was the President. Then Secretary Kerry made an off the cuff comment that war could be avoided if Assad gave up all his weapons by the weekend. The State Department went immediately into a prevent defense, befitting the newly opened football season.
Then lightning struck, maybe two or three times in exactly the same place just to prove it was possible against all the odds. The Russian Foreign Minister announced that they would support an international effort to get the Syrian regime, Russia's client state, to give up its chemical weapons.
Who says Mumblety-peg isn't a fun game for adult boys?
True to form, the President had by nightfall declared this idea was his and promises to delay any congressional (or Commander-in-Chief) action until not only John Kerry's end of the week, but possibly a month or so, to see if this plan works. I guess that last part really was his idea.
I don't know how many troops the Pope has, but he might be the lottery winner when this is all over.
Thanks for the sharing. I will come back here soon! | c4 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 3 |

BkiUdmzxK4sA-5fmxlIo | Players and coaches react to new event center
Samuel Anthony|January 19, 2017
The buzz around campus is all about the new state of the art upgrades that the Charles L. Sewall Center will be receiving starting in June as it transforms into the UPMC Event Center and the People's Court. It will be the brand new home to the Robert Morris University Men's and Women's Basketball teams in addition to the Women's Volleyball team starting in January of 2019.
Coaches such as Women's Volleyball head coach Dale Starr are excited for the implications these new facilities will have on every facet of athletics. ""It is always exciting when you see an athletic department moving forward and providing the programs and student-athletes with modern, up-to-date facilities." said coach Starr
"College athletics, and recruiting in particular, depends heavily upon facilities and a sense that the athletic department cares for and rewards the athletes efforts with great facilities to support them on the field, court and in the classroom."

This will certainly be a great recruiting tool for programs such as the Volleyball team, who are looking to replace some all-time great players in Arden Fisher, Leah Dunivan and April Krivoniak in the always competitive NEC in which the Colonials Women's Volleyball team claimed a title in the 2015 season.
Both Women's Basketball and Volleyball will spend their next seasons playing in the brand new recreation center which has plans to be finished for the start of the upcoming Fall semester. Whereas the Men's Basketball team will spend their next season at the PPG Paints Arena in downtown Pittsburgh, home of the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Women's Basketball will see it's home court change but still remain here on RMU's campus. Photo credit: Samuel Anthony
"991 days" said Women's Basketball head coach Charlie Buscaglia "that's an amazing amount of time to be able to grind through this whole process and there's so many people behind this…and just to see it all laid out like this, it's just beautiful to see"
"It's exciting to go from the beautiful Sewall Center and to think that someone could create the vision and the image that we saw in the video" said sophomore guard Nia Adams, who will be a senior when the UPMC Event Center and People's Court open in January 2019.
Coach Starr finishes with a very bright outlook for the future of Robert Morris Univeristy. "I think this new facility will be a wonderful addition to Robert Morris as we continue to move forward with making this campus a great place to not only learn, but to excel athletically as well. Our players are excited about it, and so are the coaches. We look forward to making it our new home and continuing to compete for NEC championships."

BkiUfG_xK6Ot9V_E5sEe | After seeing the guys play so well last Friday, I felt confident they would come away with a win against Cherokee as well. I was hoping they wouldn't overlook this meet, thinking about the match with LeMars tomorrow instead. And they did end up doing a great job of staying focused on the task at hand. The gusty wind was definitely a factor, but our players were moving their feet and making adjustments so that they were in position to make solid contact and remain consistent. Parker had a challenging match at #4. His opponent was hitting some nice passing shots when Parker approached the net, and also put pressure on Parker by coming in himself. But he played two solid games at the end to seal the win, which was really good to see. Starting 2-0 is a terrific way to build up momentum before our big match with LeMars. All 3 of our meets last year were extremely close, so it should be another tough battle again this year. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdpbxK5YsWTJsPs0U | All through your life you will be asking for advice. The advice you get will not be the advice you want.
But if you follow some simple rules you can generally sort out what you want from what you get.
For example, Thomas Edison is quoted all the time as saying that "Success is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration."
Generation after generation of Americans have gleefully repeated this piece of pure horsehockey as Great Wisdom.
First of all, what Edison did was what all advice-givers do: He thought, "What advice can I give that will make me look good?" He decided that he wanted to look like a Hard Worker.
But Hard Work was actually only a minor part of the reason for his success and a lot of poor people in his day worked a lot harder than Edison did.
Like all successes, Edison had a good brain, a lot of talent, and he was lucky enough to come on the scene at the right time. But he didn't mention any of that because he didn't earn any of it and so none of these things would make him look good.
Naturally, Edison's advice presents him as a man who earned everything he got so his success is the result of pure virtue. So he made himself look good and as a result what he said was perfect nonsense.
It was also not original.
Karl Marx said many years before Edison's great advice came out that all production was 100% labor. Edison was just repeating 99% Marxism.
By the way, when people give advice, they don't even tell themselves that, "I am going to say what makes me look good." What they say makes them look virtuous, but they tell themselves that they are just trying to promote virtue, not that they are trying to promote themselves.
So Edison gave nonsense advice that he told himself would promote Hard Work.
Every few days another magazine article breathlessly reports that the Chinese had invented printing long before the West had it. Then someone else, for the thousandth time, informs us that China had explosive black powder long, long ago.
Apparently no matter how many times this is repeated it is big news.
Another piece of history which is at least not repeated so often that I cringe when I hear it is that the Incas did not have the wheel for their everyday life, but their children did have wheels on their toys.
Having the wheel is a big deal to us, but it obviously meant nothing to the Incas. The Koreans had a phonetic alphabet and moveable type long before we did, but again, so what? The invention of printing was a big deal in the West because the minute we got it we began a revolution with it. In Asia, it just laid there.
When the West got the printing press it made a revolution. When China got it they made some playing cards. That is the difference that matters.
We have recently found huge clockworks on sunken ships from the Mediterranean before the time of Christ, and we know the Greeks had a little steam engine. I just heard for the hundredth time that Babylonians probably had electroplating and maybe even ground a lens for a telescope.
All our pictures depicting the Cro-Magnon men who made the cave paintings 30,000 years ago in Europe show them in ragged caveman animal hides. It turns out they probably dressed very well and neatly. A form of textile weaving that was supposed to have been invented two thousand years ago was being worn by all the Caucasoid mummies found in China from over twice that long ago.
The vast slave empires of the Egyptians and the Chinese and other water empires built a lot of big stuff and we find things left behind in the rotted corpses those civilizations left behind that do not appear in living lands. So history long assumed that since the oldest wheels were in Egypt, the wheel must have been invented there. Now we know that Egypt got the wheel very late and built the pyramids without it.
Naturally we are going to find the oldest examples of many inventions in the ruins of dead slave empires. What is tragic about this is that it gives us the idea that slave empires are therefore the places where things are created.
Our accepted history literally thinks that the rotting-away process is the creative process. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 5 |

But there are tens of entities in APIBundle and I need only some of them in this manager. What a correct configuration should be in such case?
A: I can't find anything in the doctrine documentation which match with what you're asking.
But by reading the mapping part, we can imagine a little trick to pass through that :
Define your entities in two distinct folders :

Then in your config, specify the dir configuration :

BkiUbwfxK0-nUGYe4wFB | with devotion: Everything that is written ... will be accomplished.
Everything that is written ... will be accomplished.
I think that it is so easy to be a Monday morning quarterback when we read accounts such as this one. We can look back and wonder how it was that everyone seemed to be so blind to the mission of Christ. How could it be that they missed it? Even when he spoke of himself as one who the prophets spoke about they did not understand the true nature and mission of the Messiah. These did not stay in ignorance but many today choose to ignore the prophets.
What do you think the phrase "This saying was hidden from them" meant? Do you think that it was all about God preventing them from seeing or do you think that something else concealed the truth from them? Is it possible that Jesus' mission was concealed from them because they really did not want to believe that the Messiah's kingdom was so much different than the one that they had expected. Could it be that their blindness was self-inflicted?
Please open our inner eyes Lord to see you and your mission in our world today.
"everything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be accomplished." There is still much left to be accomplished and I pray that God remove the scales from our eyes and let us hear & see ALL the Bible says and those things that are yet to be accomplished and fulfilled. Mickey & I have just finished Jeremiah and it has been asking every day, "I wonder who the false prophets are that are walking around and speaking today?" God was speaking punishment to the people through Jeremiah and "the prophets" were calling him a lier, and imprisoning him because the people did not want to hear the truth. Not much has changed sadly.
Bob, I didn't want that to sound like I knew what was going on I'm just sharing my "wonderings" with you!!!!
I hear you Susan and join with you for the removal of those scales from our eyes.
Have a great weekend and say hi to Mickey!
John 3:3 Except a man be born again he can't see the kingdom of God.
It is my thinking that we see into kingdom principals when we accept kingdom requirements. To begin we need to be saved/born again. And to advance we need to give up all and follow Jesus. It is the, all in attitude, that allows us to see.

BkiUc8HxK4sA-9F9kLuq | Group-IB, the leading provider of intelligence-driven cyber-security, has reported that in spite of the arrests of the Cobalt gang leader and malware writer Cobalt has continued to strike.
The arrest of the Cobalt gang leader in Alicante (Spain) has not yet led to the conclusion of attacks against financial institutions from this targeted attack group. On the morning of March 26 (approximately 11:00 MSK time), Group-IB's Computer Emergency Response Team identified spear phishing emails which were sent by Cobalt acting as SpamHaus, a well-known non-profit organization that fights against spam and phishing. The letter sent to targets from j.stivens@spamhuas.com (the real domain of «Spamhaus» is spamhaus.org), claimed that the IP addresses of the target company were blocked due to suspicions of sending spam. In order to «solve» the problem, the authors of the letter invited the victim to follow the link: leading to the download of a Microsoft Office document which was in fact malware. After analysing the structure of the attack, specialists from the malware analysis department confirmed that Cobalt is behind the campaign.
Cobalt is one of the most active criminal groups, responsible for targeted attacks on banks. According to Europol, the group has stolen approximately one billion euros from 100 banks in 40 countries. On March 26, Europol reported a large-scale operation was conducted by the Spanish National Police with the support of Europol, the FBI, and law enforcement agencies of Romania, Taiwan and the Republic of Belarus. As a result, the leader of Cobalt was detained in Spain, and the author of Cobalt malware was arrested by Ukrainian authorities in the Ukraine.
We do not rule out the theory that the remaining members will continue to conduct operations for a period of time with the goal of showing that the individuals arrested were not associated with the group. Given the arrest of the Cobalt Group's leader, such campaigns will soon subside and the most likely scenario is that remaining Cobalt members will join existing groups or a fresh "redistribution" will result in a new cybercriminal organization attacking banks across the world. In any event, this Group was a worthy adversary in terms of tools and tactics that was brought to justice.
Since 2016, Cobalt has successfully attacked banks in Russia, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Spain, Romania, Belarus, Poland, Estonia, Bulgaria, Georgia, Moldova, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Taiwan, Malaysia and other countries. Group-IB forensic specialists were amongst the first to investigate Cobalt's attacks on Russian and foreign banks and in November 2016 issued a public report on the activities of the group.
Initially, hackers specialized in logical attacks on ATMs. In addition to ATM management systems, the Cobalt group attempted to access payment gateways and card processing systems. Additionally, At the end of 2017, for the first time in the financial institution history in Russia, they made a successful attack on a bank using the system of interbank transfers (SWIFT). The Central Bank of Russia considered Cobalt the main threat to the Russian financial industry.
For a considerable time, Cobalt's «secret of success» consisted in the fact that the hackers of the group constantly tested new tools and schemes, often changing the location of attacks and familiarizing themselves with how the bank worked. After gaining access to computers on a target bank, Cobalt often spent two to four weeks to study the internal infrastructure of the organization, observes the working process, and only then conducting their attack.
It is also worth noting that the group did not only target banks, but also software development, media and insurance companies. The group would gain access to these third parties and subsequently conduct attacks on banks increasing their probability of success.
It is great to see such cooperation from international law enforcement and the private industry to bring such a group to justice. Group-IB will be ready and monitoring for signs of future activities from targeted attack groups impacting the banking sector. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 4 |

Only 9 weeks? feels like its been out 6 months.
Lust For Life is currently the 3rd best selling female album of 2017, only a few thousand copies behind Lorde's Melodrama (released one month before LFL).
Is this connected to tour?
Lust For Life spends a 10th week on the BB200 and jumps from #121 to #27 and was the biggest gaining album this week !
the last official update was in January 2017 and HM had sold 610k. I'm sure it has sold at least 700k by now but the sales have not been updatedLust For Life spends a 10th week on the BB200 and jumps from #121 to #27 and was the biggest gaining album this week !
Wow was that because of the tour announcement or something?
Lust For Life becomes the best selling female alternative album WW and second female album overall.
i remember seeing her get hella media coverage with all the mysterious posters popping up in Cali, along with her overall 'absence' in 2016 if it didn't leak n get rushed released, plus had proper promo, it could've honestly hit at LEAST top 20, def top 5 for alt songs n stuck. | c4 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 |
BkiUdpc5qoYDgbY2HFtv | Q: Using Nuxt, Google Tag Manager, and Vuex I'm trying to send event data to Google Tag Manger in a Nuxt project. This package, https://www.npmjs.com/package/@nuxtjs/google-tag-manager, provides what I need. The example they give presupposes that I want to call the function from within a component:
this.$gtm.pushEvent({ event: 'myEvent', ...someAttributes })
However, I actually need to call the function from a Vuex module, in which this is undefined. I would think I could do it like this:
import GTM from '@nuxtjs/google-tag-manager';
export default {
actions: {
myAction(_, data) {
GTM.pushEvent(data);
},
...
But this results in:
TypeError: _nuxtjs_google_tag_manager__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_3___default.a.pushEvent is not a function
I also tried:
import Vue from 'vue';
const vm = new Vue();
export default {
actions: {
myAction(_, data) {
vm.$gtm.pushEvent(data);
},
...
But this results in:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'pushEvent' of undefined
Interestingly, when I log vm, I see $gtm: undefined as a property. So apparently the plugin is there, but it's not activated? I know I'm missing something basic here ...
A: this.$gtm.push({ event: 'myEvent', ...someAttributes })
it's push not pushEvent

BkiUcLTxaL3SuhzLnX86 | Rivers State Governor, Chief Ezebunwo Nyesom Wike, has described as political witch-hunt the recent arrest and detention of some judges in Nigeria, even before allegations against them are investigated.
He said Nigeria must find better ways of fighting judicial and other corruptions in the country within the rule of law instead of entertaining the gullible public with a phantom and tendentious actions against corruption.
Wike, who spoke yesterday at the commissioning of the new Federal High Court building, constructed by the Rivers State government in Port Harcourt, said despite the challenges facing the nation's judiciary, it still remains the last hope of the common man.
The governor said, "At such a time when the Nigerian judicial system is going through grave existential and reputational challenges, the least we can do is to support it to reinvent itself and bring about a qualitative change that we all need in the justice delivery system.
"Nevertheless, let us not forget that the generality of Nigerians still have great trust and faith on the Nation's judiciary as the last hope of the common man.
"Although this trust is often eroded and displaced by perceived cases of judicial corruption, the misbehavior of a negligible few shouldn't warrant wholesale denigration of the entire judicial system.
"Certainly, hunting and hounding a small band of targeted judges to prison in Gestapo style even before allegations against them were investigated is more of a political witch-hunt than practical strategy to browbeat the judiciary into submission.
Wike, who said with the new building, the Port Harcourt Division of the Federal High Court is greatly empowered for greater efficiency and expeditious consideration and delivery of justice to the people of the state, appealed to the Federal Government to provide regular care for the building to enable it function effectively.
He said, "With this Courthouse, the Federal High Court in Port Harcourt is greatly empowered for greater efficiency and expeditious consideration and delivery of justice to our people.
"And so, as state government, we are proud to have built this magnificent courthouse for the Federal Government and for all Nigerians as a testimony to our patriotism and commitment to the peace, security and unity of our beloved country and the wellbeing of the citizens.
"Let it also be known that we have built this courthouse to serve and advance the public interest and not to satisfy any other self-promotive motives. Accordingly, we have fulfilled our duty as leaders who mean well for our country and its progress.
"All that we ask in return is for the Federal Government to provide for the regular care and maintenance of this building so that its functionality is preserved for the use of the present and future generations.
Commissioning the new Federal High Court building, the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Ibrahim Auta, stated that the Federal High Court complex in Port Harcourt is outstanding and the best to be constructed by a state government.
Auta, who commended Wike for his commitment to the provision of the relevant infrastructure for the Federal High Court, pointing out that the court will dispense justice according to the law, said following the official hand over, the court will begin to use the facility on Monday. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

The idea behind the move is rationalisation following SBI's merger with six associate banks and the Bhartiya Mahila Bank (BMB) which came into effect from April 1, 2017.
The State Bank of India (SBI), one of the largest banks in the country with regards to deposits, advances, customer acquisition and banking outlets, has changed the names and IFSC codes of 1,300 of its branches.
The idea behind the move is rationalisation following SBI's merger with six associate banks and the Bhartiya Mahila Bank (BMB) which came into effect from April 1, 2017. The merger resulted in an increase in the size and valuation of the bank—by the end of the first quarter of the current fiscal year, SBI had over 22,428 branches across the country.
The bank has released a list of the new branch names as well as corresponding IFSC codes on its website. According to this over 1,295 branch names and IFSC codes have been changed across India.
What is the IFSC code and why should you care?
The IFSC code which stands for Indian Financial System Code is an 11-digit alphanumeric code assigned by the Reserve Bank of India to facilitate electronic payment like RTGS, NEFT. This code is unique to every bank branch.

BkiUbmM5jDKDx3bd2htd | A UB football player's lawsuit against the university –– a case that could have statewide and even national implications –– continues to wind its way through the courts.
State Supreme Court Judge E. Jeannette Ogden transferred the case to the New York State Appellate Division Feb. 2 after hearing from UB's counsel, Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman and Assistant Attorney General Melissa H. Thore. Schneiderman and Thore argued Jan. 30 that the case fell under the appellate jurisdiction because it was based on whether or not UB made a decision based on "substantial evidence," a matter decided by courts of appeals.
UB's attorneys requested the transfer in their Dec. 14 response to a petition filed Nov. 3 by a UB football player. The student alleged in the petition that UB violated his right to due process after an administrative panel found him guilty of possession of a weapon and harassment in September for allegedly waving an airsoft gun at a group of teammates in July 2017.
The Spectrum agreed last semester not to identify the player for now.
The panel initially suspended the player for two years and revoked his student housing, which he received as part of an athletic scholarship package. The student appealed the school's decision and eventually received a lessened penalty –– a three-year long disciplinary probation period and housing revocation. Although the panel agreed the punishment was "disproportionate" compared to the crime, it found the student was still guilty and would not reverse its decision.
The appellate court has not given the parties a date to deliver oral arguments and could take anywhere from several weeks to several months to do so.
Lippes argued that UB did not base its decision on substantial evidence and that his client was denied rights afforded to him by New York State law and the U.S. Constitution, including the right to representation during a hearing, the right to cross-examination and the right to view evidence before making an appeal.
Thore declined to comment for this story. Several attempts to reach Schneiderman were unsuccessful. UB spokesperson John Della Contrada said the university does not comment on pending litigation.
If the court decides in Lippes' client's favor, it could also instruct UB to change its policies and allow students representation, a decision that could have statewide and even national impact.
UB administrators have said that UB's code of conduct is based on national "best practices" and is meant to offer students and administrators flexibility.
Like UB, many colleges and universities allow students an adviser throughout the disciplinary process, but don't allow the adviser to speak on the student's behalf during hearings. At Stony Brook University, for instance, the code of student conduct allows students anadviserbut the adviser cannot "engage in any verbal presentation or questioning," according to the school's website. "Attorneys may serve as advisersto the parties subject to the same conditions and restrictions," the website says.
UB students from an on-campus Civil Liberties Union chapter brought up the issue of student representation to President Satish Tripathi in September. But the Student-Wide Judiciary is not a court of law, and thus does not need to follow courtroom procedures, administrators say.
Lippes said he is hopeful for a favorable ruling. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdAo241xiEptdWJsX | One thing television does well is reflect our concerns. And America is concerned about the death penalty and the even hand of justice. That's why the new TV movie Deadlocked (TNT, Sunday, June 18, 8-10 p.m.) is especially timely.
Though the majority of Americans support capital punishment, that majority is slowly dwindling, especially since the governor of Illinois, Republican George Ryan, declared a moratorium on the death penalty in his state after he found that 13 people on death row were not guilty according to new (some of it DNA) evidence.
The New Hampshire legislature recently voted to abolish the death penalty, but the governor vetoed the bill. And even Texas Gov. George W. Bush, after presiding over 131 executions, has issued a stay of execution for one death-row inmate to allow for DNA testing.
High-profile cases in which it appeared that the rich defendant was able to assemble a "dream team" of lawyers and get away with murder have further complicated the public's perception of even-handed justice.
When the prosecutor, racing against time, really looks at what inadequate counsel, a recalcitrant defendant, and class (more than race, in this case) prejudice can do, a whole different story unfolds.
The movie is marred by clichs about trigger-happy SWAT-team officers and a dim district attorney who won't listen to reason. But the gripping scenes in which Doyle fights for his son, and those in which Stark revisits the evidence, yanks the truth out of the defendant, and finally listens to the anguished Doyle, make the film worthy TV fare.
Caruso, as the sympathetic prosecutor, is intriguing. It's great to see him in a role in which he can play many notes so well. But this film belongs to Dutton as the desperate father. Even as a reluctant terrorist, he rings every ounce of truth out of the sometimes thin dialogue, and the viewer can't help but feel the nobility of the man behind the desperation, the layers of ethical concern, and of profound feeling.
It's amazing that Dutton's scenes were shot in just 10 consecutive days (he had two other film obligations). Says Dutton, who is trained as a stage actor, "It was such a challenge, like a stage role. It took a kind of bravado to carry it off, a tremendous amount of energy.... The nice thing about [the lack of time], you have to be organic and immediate to play all those levels. You rarely get those moments on camera."
Another TNT presentation this week is especially poignant in the wake of "Deadlocked." It's a documentary special that asks Was Justice Denied? (Tuesday, June 20, 8-9:30 p.m.). The program looks at prisoners on death row, and those who have been executed, who may not have committed the crimes for which they were convicted. In two specific cases, an investigative team consisting of a judge, a prosecutor, and a defense attorney scrutinize the evidence against two convicted, but possibly innocent, people.
Another sense of justice surfaces in About Us: The Dignity of Children, hosted by Oprah Winfrey (Fox Family Channel, Monday, June 19, 8-10 p.m.). This outstanding documentary celebrates not only the worth of children, but the honesty, goodness, and loving kindness owed them. It tugs at the heart, not because it is sentimental or manipulative, but because it is true.
American children of various ethnic backgrounds are asked about the meaning of life, what makes them happy or sad, and what they long for. Their answers are stirring, intelligent, and honest. Difficult issues such as child abuse are also discussed here. But the film is meant to inspire love for children - and it succeeds masterfully. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUeH7xK7ICUt7cQh_B | 5 Questions: IU Health's Adairius Gardner aims to shape healthier state
New head of government affairs will help support the new Academic Health Center in Downtown Indianapolis.
Amy Lynch
Star correspondent
Recently appointed as director of government affairs at IU Health, Adairius Gardner is doing his part to make Indianapolis healthier.
Coming from a government relations background, Gardner joined the Methodist Health Foundation in 2012 as a development officer.
"I wanted to transition into health care, and being a longtime resident of Downtown Indianapolis, I was very familiar with IU Health and the work the organization was doing in the community," he said. "I had become interested in health care and was looking for an opportunity to take my experience in the public sector and bridge into a new area."
Having worked with former Mayor Bart Peterson, the late Congresswoman Julia Carson, former Evansville Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel and former Indianapolis Deputy Mayor Melina Kennedy, Gardner's qualifications have translated nicely to his health-care positions.
"I saw firsthand in Congress how health care was moving to the forefront of the agenda and realized the vital role health care plays in shaping a healthy and successful community," he said. "The opportunity to work alongside so many incredibly talented doctors, nurses and caregivers was a huge draw, and the ability to help patients and their families in times of need also was appealing."
In his current role, Gardner is helping support the Academic Health Center of the Future, a new medical campus at 16th Street and Capitol Avenue that aims to unite the skilled professionals of Methodist and University hospitals.
"This project spans well beyond health care if you think about the impact it will have on new jobs, neighborhood revitalization, new retail and residential facilities, transportation and more," Gardner described. "My role is to ensure we're working with community and business leaders to see what's important to them and make this new medical campus a world-class facility. If I'm doing my job right, you won't find me in my office but rather out and about in the community — talking, listening, planning."
Moving forward, Gardner hopes to be part of the ongoing dialogue to define, build and deliver the future of health care.
"Hoosiers face a lot of health challenges; I want to do my part to reverse this trend and know we've made a difference," he said. "A bit lofty perhaps, but it's what gets me out of bed in the morning. And, it's doable."
Here's how Gardner answered our five questions:
Question: What's been the most surprising thing you've learned in your career?
Answer: "You can script things out and have a plan, but things always change. Being flexible, open-minded and taking advantage of new opportunities is key to continued learning and growth. And involvement in interests outside of work is beneficial. I've worked with the Damien Center and the Afterschool Coalition of Indianapolis for some years, and I've had the opportunity to spend time with and learn from some pretty incredible people."
Q: What does being a leader mean to you?
A: "To me, it means listen, respect, serve. A leader is someone who's able to assess a situation, determine a game plan and engage others in building solutions and a vision."
Q: What is the best piece of career advice you've ever received?
A: "I've been fortunate to have many great mentors and receive great career advice over the years, but it's always the simplest pieces of wisdom that resonate with me. In general, try to be a good person, work hard and always think about others. Kindness and respect never go out of style."
Q: What's the best part of your job?
A: "The people — my colleagues, the people in the community. I love engaging with people and hearing different stories. I feel like IU Health's mission, to engage with people during the most difficult times of their lives, is such an honor. I used to get nervous going into a patient's room, but now I have a level of comfort with it. In my last role with the Methodist Health Foundation, I was a storyteller for the good work people were doing throughout the system. Working with such a talented group of physicians, nurses and staff makes my job easier."
Q: What's the most challenging part of your job?
A: "I don't consider things challenges, I consider them opportunities. When you're entrusted to work with the community, finding consensus can be difficult but rewarding, especially when the impact is so great."

BkiUdKPxK6EuNCwyvLL4 | It doesn't make a difference how immaculate you keep your home, in some cases you can't dispose of that pet scent smell. Regardless of whether you've utilized different showers, spot cleaners and that's only the tip of the iceberg, you just can't dispose of that loathsome aroma. On the off chance that you don't realize what else to do, presently's an ideal opportunity to contact a cleaning administration. These organizations realize exactly what to use to get out your hardest pet stain issues. That is on the grounds that they have the correct instruments and supplies to help viably dispose of your stain.
Rugs are difficult to keep clean, particularly if it's a high-traffic zone. Also, spot removers will appear to dispose of spots at first, however a little while later, those equivalent stains some way or another return. Likewise, in the event that you've had any sort of water harm, you'll profit by a cleaning administration. Wet, grimy rugs can leave an awful stench, and even mold whenever left untreated. When you contact specialists to deal with the wreckage, you'll feel good letting your tootsies coast over the cover without stressing over how clean it ease.
On the off chance that you all of a sudden have another place to call home, you'll need to ensure that house is as perfect as conceivable before moving in. This particularly remains constant when you're moving into a more seasoned home. While the place may look OK, you would presumably feel much improved on the off chance that you had an expert cleaning administration come in and help make the place feel like new. Nobody needs to begin new in another person's earth, so contact an ace to help get your place ready.
Seats and lounge chairs are famous for succumbing to stains. Now and again you can get a delicate material and a purging specialist to endeavor to evacuate the issue. Be that as it may, you should complete a spot test to ensure the arrangement you use doesn't destroy the texture. Additionally, even with your earnest attempts, there's no assurance that you will have the capacity to get the stain out without a touch of elbow oil and ideally the correct item. Calling an expert that realizes exactly what to use so as to get your stains out will be a smart thought. The best part is that you won't need to stress over whether your texture is in danger.
In the wake of conveying another child and returning home, your hands will truly be full. You'll be so bustling dealing with the infant, also endeavoring to deal with yourself, that the exact opposite thing you'll need to stress over is housework. Tragically, the new infant will mean you'll have more clothing than any time in recent memory. So this implies you require assistance from a cleaning administration. | c4 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUdq3xK0wg05VB7uiH | We recently got to try the new range of Bambino Mio reusable swim nappies and I have to say we are hooked. The beautiful prints, the incredibly soft terry lining, the handy drawstring waistband making them secure and easy to pull on and off, the lightweight (and leakproof) material and the fact they are washing-machine and tumble dryer friendly are just a few of reasons why.
Did you know, simply choosing reusable swim nappies instead of the disposable ones can help to save an incredible 6,000 tonnes of nappies thrown away!! With just one single disposable nappy taking up to 500 years to decompose, it really is time to make a difference to our planet, especially for our little ones and their futures.
Whether you use them for your back garden in the paddling pool, your local pool or at the beach on your next holiday, these reusable swim nappies are better for baby, the environment and at just £9.99 – your pocket!
I'd love to hear if you have already tried reusable swim or reusable everyday nappies and what your thoughts are on making the change.

BkiUbjI5i7PA9LWbTzUj | DownerMouchel, a joint venture between Downer EDI Limited and Mouchel, has been given a $3.5 million contract to upgrade a 10 kilometre section of the Victorian Highway, west of Kununurra in WA.
The project includes works to widen the existing seven metre seal to nine metres, culvert widening and installation of audible edge lines.
DownerMouchel is part of Main Roads' Integrated Services Agreements that provide operational asset management, network operations, minor capital improvements and maintenance services as required on the State's road network.
Western Australia Transport Minister Dean Nalder said the project should boost efficiency for North-West road users.
"The widened road will improve safety and reduce maintenance costs as a result of less edge wear to the road," Mr Nalder said.
The upgrade will be managed by Main Roads Kimberley Region and finish by November 2016.

BkiUa_45jDKDyDF8vUkC | I wish I could tell you that the above statement refers to muddy puddles, but it doesn't. We were about 3 000 km into our Outback trip and each one of those was decorated with a long line of kangaroo carcasses; our bull-bar had just added another corpse to the count.
I felt like I was 30 minutes into a Quentin Tarantino movie. You know, the story starts out like any other, but before you know it, it's filled with lots and lots of dead things.
Each kilometre revealed a series of bleached bones gleaming in the sun. The invertebrates are what really grab your attention; thousands of them litter the road like a deadly game of Croquet hoops.
The further you venture into the Outback, the higher the death toll rises. Kangaroos aren't the smartest roadside animals, but as you drive into deep, middle Australia, it's like they get even more suicidal. You've probably seen squirrels do the same thing: they'll zigzag clear of danger but then suddenly dart under your tyre after making it to safe ground on the other side.
I feel guilty that we've added another corpse to the boundless expanse of the Outback, but I can't argue. Australia has more kangaroos than most places have pigeons, and the latter are arguably street-smarter.
Eventually, I get used to the carnage, as if kangaroos naturally come in two species: dead and alive.
One thing's for sure, when you couple the road-side bones with the desolate look of scorched red earth, you get a sense of what the apocalypse may look like. I suddenly feel a deeper connection to Mad Max.
Much like South Africa, Australia's dirt roads can be tough on tyres, where loose stones cause severe cut & chip damage.
But I'm not doing the place any justice: the Outback, of course, is not all doom and gloom; it's also a place of boundless beauty and solitude.
It's the size of it that really gets you. The Outback is a big place, but it's not North America big − it's big in the sense that it's mostly empty. It's like running 10 miles in the city versus swimming 10 miles out to sea. You're forced to take things slow out here, because there's really no point in rushing. The place is too big to care, one way or another, time is all you've got to give.
Coming from Africa, there's a temptation to compare the two continents: at first, I viewed the Australian Outback as a wasted wilderness. 'Wasted' in the sense that it's largely desolate, but more so, wasted in that it has all this space, but there's very little wildlife to enjoy it.
I think many South African tourists (and more recently, immigrants) make the same mistake. They'll see a stretch of road in the Outback that reminds them of the Kalahari, and as a result, they'll end up comparing wildlife score sheets.
Parts of the Outback may remind you of the kalahari.
It's a foolish mindset. Complaining about the Outback's comparative "lack" of wildlife is no different to an American tourist moaning about the Kruger National Park's lack of grizzly bears.
Kangaroos = bull-bars = after-market suspension = importation to SA = the birth of the South African 4x4 enthusiast market.
Let me explain. Four-wheel drive vehicles have been around for quite some time in SA. These vehicles were predominantly used by farmers, hunters, fishermen and boat owners. It was probably not until the late 1990s that the 4x4 market began in South Africa, and grew to be what we know it as today.
So, what happened in the late 90s? Well, that's when Desert Cool (a private SA company) imported and widely distributed the first Old Man Emu suspension systems from Australia.
Prior to this, the odd importer might have brought in a suspension kit or two, but in many respects, one could arguably say that the 4x4 enthusiast market really only kicked off (and radically expanded) with the nationwide success of aftermarket suspension from Aus.
After OME and ARB landed in South Africa, it wasn't long before other leading brands like TJM and Ironman followed. This meant that more funds were pumped into advertising, and that the industry became clearly defined as a notable, recreational, enthusiast market. 4x4 owners were no longer defining themselves as fishermen or hunters; they were defining themselves as off-road travellers, overlanders, and 4x4 enthusiasts.
As this group of enthusiasts grew, so did its options in terms of products, accessories, 4x4 trails, off-road-focused accommodation, and an ever-expanding 4WD vehicle market.
Obviously, it would be naive to say that after-market suspension was the sole contributor to this growth, but it was unquestionably a major contributor, and a defining catalyst that exploded the trade.
This brings me back to how this all relates to kangaroos. Well, because of the prevalence of kangaroos in Australia, bull-bars are a near-necessity there, making it a multi-million-dollar industry in which companies like ARB are listed on the stock exchange.
These bars are fitted for collision protection against kangaroos; however, in most cases, the benefits are less about occupant protection, and more about radiator protection. That said, a broken radiator in the middle of the Outback could spell a fate worse than a face full of kangaroo guts and windshield glass.
Not surprisingly, bull-bar sales are notably higher than suspension sales in Australia – in South Africa it's the other way around. All the same, there's no denying that the fitment of bull-bars played a major role in the development of, and the need for, after-market suspension.
So… Kangaroos = bull-bars = after-market suspension = importation to SA = the birth of the South African 4x4 enthusiast market.
But perhaps I'm just clutching at straws here. Or perhaps I like the idea that millions of kangaroos haven't died for nothing.
Nonetheless, it's worth noting that South Africa's 4x4 market and the Australian 4x4 market are nearly identical. This has a lot to do with similarities between our lifestyles, our weather, our access to remote places, and the fact that our vehicle options are very much the same.
I think most of us will agree that there's an unspoken rivalry between our two countries. Whether it's competitiveness on a sporting level, or a comparison as to which is the better place to live, Aussies and Saffers have a love-hate relationship. Basically, we love to hate each other.
"Aussies and Saffers have a love-hate relationship.
Although strong arguments can be made in favour of both countries, I felt very little habitat-envy. However… if you were to tie me to a chair, connect electrodes to my nippily bits, and administer a dose of truth serum, I might ( just possibly) admit to some jealousy.
Australia is a beach-driving paradise for 4x4 enthusiasts. But they also have rock, mud, an infinite network of dirt roads, sand dunes, and even snow to play on.
To be honest, I had no idea what the hell they were talking about. What works? And what is 'everything'? But you soon realise what they mean. Australia is a well-run country, and for that, we tend to criticise it as a nanny state. But the flip side to all the "nanny-ness" is that the Australian government goes out of its way to cater to its people. In many respects, Australia is one big adventure playground for boaters, 4x4ers, hikers, divers, fishermen, and everyone in between. And it's all there, all year round, easy and safe to access, and well run and maintained.
None of that made me jealous. What really stirred my envy was the sheer size and productivity of their 4x4 market. It's massive! It's bigger than massive. And because of its size, it's completely self-perpetuated, like a giant enthusiast-snowball that keeps rolling and growing. And the reason that made me so jealous is that I see the same potential in SA.
The "problem" with South Africa's 4x4 enthusiast market is that it's very niche. Which means that there's not much incentive for companies to R&D new products and concepts here. Pumping a million rand into the development of a new 4x4 product is a big risk in South Africa, but in places like Aus, (and even the US), that investment is relatively easy to recoup. In fact, you'll probably find that many SA 4x4 companies pioneering new products are focusing strategically on Australian exports, rather than on local markets.
It was a bit of an oddball question, especially as I've never expressed any intention of doing so. But, what I've subsequently realised, is that if you travel to Aus (for whatever reason), people are going to assume that you've gone to scout the place out for possible relocation. The fact that so many people asked me this question is testament to what's on their minds. In my case, however, my trip to Aus just reaffirmed everything I love about Africa.
Sure, the wildlife is great and the scenery is spectacular, but that's not what draws me to this continent. For me, happiness is not a place, a destination, or even a state of mind, it's a metric that has value only in the face of its opposite: it's the thing you feel after conquering the things that challenge you. And Africa is full of challenges. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 4 |

BkiUa__xK6EuNBRhGNce | WATCH | Tesla builds respiratory ventilator to fight Covid-19 using its new vehicle technologies

Tesla is the latest automaker to have shown its ventilator to help fight the dreaded coronavirus.
Though still in its prototype phase, the ventilator has been designed with the purpose of assisting patients who struggle to breath. This is an important focus of Tesla's support, seeing that the virus tackles your respiratory system.
Available in volume
In Tesla's case, the automaker used many of its new vehicle technologies to produce the prototype ventilator, but it is not yet sure when the first production model will roll out.
Earlier in April, Ford announced that it will build 50 000 ventilators over the next 100 days, and 30 000 every month thereafter. By the time winter arrives (summer in the USA), General Motors is hoping to have built 10 000 respiratory ventilators.
Tesla engineering director, Joseph Mardall, said: "We want to use parts we know really well, we know the reliability of and we can go really fast and they're available in volume."
A global leader
The Tesla motor company was founded by South African, Elon Musk. Since coming to market, Musk and his team have been producing electric vehicles that's pushed the boundaries of what is possible.
Their range of vehicles consist of SUVs and family sedans, with Musk's latest project being an electric bakkie. Though ugly and reminiscent of your pre-school drawings, Musk managed to sign hundreds of thousands pre-orders.
READ: Here's how the motor industry is aiding the combat against Covid-19
Musk's cars are particularly popular in Europe and certain parts of America, but market conditions prevented him from launching vehicles in his country of birth. The Tesla Model 3, the car's parts used for the ventilators, would have made its South African debut, but those plans were nixed despite South Africans showing huge interest and pre-ordering the car.
It remains to be seen whether or not Musk will debut his range of electric cars in South Africa.

What Are The Most Profitable Industries In Singapore Right Now?
Singapore's location, infrastructure, federal assistance, and manpower all contribute to its success as a corporate hub. Furthermore, the country's position as a doorway to Asia means that many businesses will seek to take advantage of the country's sustainable business climate. In Singapore, enterprises from both the East and the West come together to form a dynamic and interesting commercial network. In order to benefit from the numerous chances, entrepreneurs from all walks of life choose to set up a shop in Singapore.
As a result, many budding entrepreneurs are inspired by Singapore's flourishing sectors and enterprises. Many newcomers to Singapore nevertheless hope to leave their mark despite the highly demanding and oversaturated markets. Many new entrants succeed in surviving the early challenges of starting a firm and developing into mature entrepreneurs with the appropriate strategies and goals.
Betting Industry
In recent years, the popularity of internet gambling has increased dramatically. People from all over the world enjoy the excitement of playing at an online casino, which has been around for more than twenty years. Singapore isn't any different from any other country. This country's gambling fanatics have a lot of respect for online casinos. Some of the best options for SG punters may be found on many of Singapore's Legit websites.
Located in East Asia, Singapore is renowned for its edgy nightlife. Another reason it's so well-known is the burgeoning gaming business. Gamblers in the nation have access to a large number of internet casinos where they may deposit funds, play games, and potentially win enormous sums of money. Those in this part of the world like taking part in exciting and rewarding online casino games. Because they can be played from the comfort of our own houses, and have become extremely popular.
Restaurants And Catering
A global epidemic could not dampen Singapore's passion of dining out and savouring the finer things in life. How did Singaporeans rush to their favourite restaurants and eateries as soon as COVID-19 restrictions were lifted on June 19, enabling Singaporeans back into restaurants and eateries to dine in groups of five? Sales at Singapore's restaurants rose to a record high at the end of July, which reflects the public's desire to dine out again. As you can see, catering is one of the most profitable industries in Singapore.
Robotics are the driving force behind Singapore's technological and economic advancements. By using technical developments like robots, Singapore aims to establish a sustainable and inventive country. As a result of this strategy, robotics companies now have more opportunities for expansion. So as entrepreneurs fight to take advantage of the prospects, the sector has become larger.
As a long-term solution to the issues of worker safety and a labour shortage, Singapore looks to robots. Additionally, robotics offer important advantages such as increased productivity and better customer service. As a result, more firms are investing in robots, which in turn is driving the sector forward.
Cleaners and Maids
Keeping healthy has become more difficult as a result of the outbreak. It is because of these factors that cleaning service firms' profits were expected to soar in 2020 and 2021, respectively. As a result of the increased demand, current enterprises are under a lot of strain. A lack of labour and the availability of anti-viral equipment made it difficult for the company to meet its goals. In spite of these challenges, the firms emerged victorious by training additional employees to provide deep cleaning services.
Cleaning services are also benefiting from technological improvements. Cleaners are already benefiting from modern cleaning equipment. IoT technology, robots, and artificial intelligence (AI) will have a profound impact on the cleaning service business in the years to come.
e-Marketing Companies
Music, entertainment, and commercial dealings have all been done online in recent years. As a result, a new marketing channel was created. With digital marketing, businesses may reach a broader range of customers. Marketers that don't want to invest in international connections can use this method to reach a worldwide audience for very little money.
In this day and age, nearly every organisation is relying on digital marketing services for its many advantages. It not only helps the company succeed, but it also spurs innovation so that it can provide better goods and services. Digital marketing has become even more comprehensive thanks to CRM and data analytics technology.
The property market
When the pandemic struck, the housing market in Singapore took a knock. In spite of this, the damage was not so severe as to be comparable to the 2008 financial crisis. Because of Singapore's COVID-19 reaction effectiveness and the robust foundations of the property sector, real estate enterprises were able to stay afloat. However, the need for certain traits cannot be prevented from evolving.
The need for warehouses more than quadrupled in the first months of 2021, while the demand for rental offices declined further than anticipated. In addition, healthcare-related real estate has improved possibilities. The administration anticipates asset values and demand for hotels and offices to normalise as the economy reopens and firms recover.
There are many other industries that were not mentioned in this article, in Singapore where the profits skyrocketed during the past few years and we hope to keep it the way it is or eventually better!

BkiUcTDxK7ICUt7cPjae | Anguish of grieving husband who was wrongly branded a cheat after his vet wife's suicide note was misunderstood by a detective
Mail Online | 12/4/2017 | Paddy Dinham For Mailonline
josh567 (Posted by) Level 3
12/5/2017 2:24 AM EST in General
Click For Photo: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/12/04/20/46FB89EF00000578-0-image-a-28_1512418946610.jpg
A grieving husband was wrongly labelled a cheat after a detective misunderstood his wife's suicide note to think he was having an affair.
Nicole Putney, 32, hanged herself at a Novotel in Worsley, Manchester, leaving a note which was thought to be partially directed at a lover her husband, Simon Mueller was seeing behind her back.
Hearing - High - Court - Judge - Today
But in a hearing at the High Court, a senior judge today said there was no evidence her widower was unfaithful or even that she feared he had been.
The note had been misread by Detective Inspector Koran Sellars, of Greater Manchester Police, said the judge, Sir Brian Leveson.
Mr - Mueller - Physicist - 'infidelity - Wife
Mr Mueller, an internationally renowned physicist, suffered anguish when his 'infidelity' was erroneously reported following an inquest into his wife's death.
The portion of the note which the detective believed to be addressed to another woman was actually written by Miss Putney to herself, he said.
'I - Doubt - Note - Meaning - Det
'I have no doubt whatsoever that the note does not bear the meaning that Det Insp Sellars sought to give it,' Sir Brian said in his ruling.
'Whatever other criticisms she might have been making of him, there is no basis for concluding that Ms Putney was complaining - let alone asserting - that her husband was having or may have had an affair.
Part - Note - Ms - Putney
'It is clear that the second part of the note was, indeed, addressed by Ms Putney to herself.'
The court heard the couple had had a difficult marriage, exacerbated by Ms Putney's long-standing mental health problems.
Times - Nightingale - Hospital - Marylebone - London
She had attempted suicide several times and had been treated at the Nightingale Hospital, in Marylebone, London, shortly before her death.
She died after hanging herself in her room while at a business conference in Manchester in May 2015.

BkiUeQfxK7IAG1E_0XMj | Whether it's for simple family meals or for large gatherings, having an area outdoors for entertaining is a great way to enjoy beautiful days.
Including cooking facilities with an al fresco kitchen allows everything to happen in one space. The design of your kitchen is important, ensuring ease of use and practicality.
The simpler it is to have meals outside, the more frequently it will be enjoyed. Here are our top 6 tips to make the most of what if left of the summer with your outdoor kitchen.
Al fresco kitchens are a great space for entertaining guests.
When designing an outdoor kitchen it is important to consider the type of meals that you would like to prepare as well as the energy source available. If electrical power is available a suitable outdoor hob can be included.
If not, a gas hob, barbeque, fire pit or pizza oven are also good options. Another aspect to consider is the size of the gatherings.
Be sure to have enough seating space for family and friends. Keep them close to the preparation area with a drink in their hand to keep you company while you prepare the meal.
To keep your al fresco dining experience simple, good storage is a must. Having outdoor cutlery, crockery and cooking utensils will prevent the need to make frequent trips back inside.
Include a good food preparation area close to the cooking facilities. If plumbing is available, having an outdoor sink will make both preparation and cleaning up much simpler.
If the outdoor area is on a patio or along an exterior house wall, an opening hatch or wide doors can be used to ensure a good flow from inside to outside.
To ensure the longevity of your outdoor entertaining area, the furniture, surfaces, and equipment will need to be able to withstand the elements.
Choose items that are durable, waterproof and resistant to UV light damage. Getting the appropriate covers for furniture and equipment will further increase their lifespan.
Using concrete, recycled plastic, sealed tiles or stainless steel are good options to consider. It is also important to design the space so that it is easy to clean.
Any fabric items should be easily washable, surfaces easy to wipe down and furniture easy to move to clean around.
Since weather can often be unpredictable, including a shelter is always a good idea.
A permanent awning, canvas or even folding and stacking glass doors that create an uninterrupted flow between indoor and outdoor spaces work very well.
These allow for al fresco dining to continue no matter the weather conditions by providing shelter from wind and rain, as well as shade from the sun.
Add an outdoor heater or cuddle up close to the fire with some blankets when the temperatures fall. Always be safe by making sure that cooking equipment and enclosed fires have sufficient ventilation.
Outdoor lighting is not only functional, but also adds to the atmosphere.
Choose lighting that is bright enough for guests to see what they are eating, but still feel like they are outside in the evening. Soft lights such as fairy lights or small pendant lights are a great option, as well as small portable lights or candles placed on the table.
If there is no electrical power to your al fresco kitchen, solar powered lights can also be used.
6. If You Don't Have an Outside Space, Bring the Outdoors Inside.
Just because you may not have a garden or patio, doesn't mean that you can't still enjoy a meal with an outdoor feel.
Place a table close to the windows and bring the feeling of the outdoors inside with some oversized greenery and gentle lighting.
To maintain the relaxed atmosphere set the food out on the table, allowing family and friends to serve themselves.
If the weather is pleasant, open up the windows and let the cool breeze in.
There are many options to consider when designing your perfect al fresco kitchen. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

Carriera da musicista
Primi anni e successo
Nata da una famiglia povera, si appassiona fin dall'adolescenza delle danze popolari; nell'ottobre 1950 partecipa, vincendo, a una manifestazione canora radiofonica a Tucumán.
Nel 1960 fa parte del Movimiento del Nuevo Cancionero, una corrente sorta nella provincia di Mendoza, che intende rinnovare la canzone popolare, rappresentando la vita quotidiana argentina. Ne fanno parte anche Armando Tejada Gómez, Manuel Oscar Matus e Tito Francia.
Insieme col marito Manuel Oscar Matus tiene concerti all'Università e pubblica il primo disco, Canciones con fundamento.
Il maggior riconoscimento viene ottenuto nel 1965 al Festival Nacional de Folklore di Cosquín, lanciata dal Jorge Cafrune; nello stesso anno incide il disco collettivo Romance de la muerte de Juan Lavalle, con Ernesto Sabato e Eduardo Falú, cantando Palomita del valle.
Nel marzo 1966 incide Yo no canto por cantar, un LP comprendente Canción del derrumbe indio, Canción para mi América, Chayita del vidalero, Los inundados, Zamba para no morir, Tonada de Manuel Rodríguez e Zamba al zafrero. Il successo la porta a incidere l'ottobre successivo Hermano e alla fine del 1967 esce Para cantarle a mi gente.
In quell'anno si esibisce in una lunga tournée che la porta a Miami, a Lisbona, a Porto, a Roma, a Varsavia, a Leningrado, a Baku e a Tbilisi. In quell'occasione conosce il musicista Ariel Ramírez che le propone l'incisione di Mujeres Argentinas, conclusa solo nel 1969, dopo l'apparizione di Zamba para no morir, una compilazione di temi di successi precedenti e di Con sabor a Mercedes Sosa, che comprende la canzone di successo Al jardín de la República.
Nel 1970 partecipa al film El Santo de la Espada, di Leopoldo Torre Nilsson, sulla vita del generale e patriota argentino José de San Martìn; escono anche gli album Navidad con Mercedes sosa e El grido de la tierra, che contiene il celebre inno Cancion con todos, una canzone di speranza per tutto il Sudamerica. Nel 1971 edita La voz de Mercedes Sosa e Homenaje a Violeta Parra, in cui canta numerose canzoni della famosa cantante cilena, fra cui la celeberrima Gracias a la vida. Partecipa a un altro film di Leopoldo Torre Nilsson, La tierra en armas, in cui interpreta l'eroina peruviana Juana Azurduy.
Nel 1972, nonostante gli attacchi dei militari, esce Hasta la victoria, un album con canzoni di chiaro contenuto sociale e politico e Cantata Sudamericana, con musica di Ariel Ramírez e versi di Félix Luna.
Dopo Traigo un pueblo en mi voz, del 1973 e A que florezca mi pueblo, del 1975, nel 1976 esce Mercedes Sosa con i contributi dei poeti Víctor Jara, Pablo Neruda, Alicia Maguiña e Ignacio Villa. Nel 1977 rende omaggio a uno dei maggiori cantanti popolari argentini con Mercedes Sosa interpreta a Atahualpa Yupanqui.
L'esilio e il ritorno della democrazia
Con l'instaurazione della dittatura militare la sua musica di denuncia inizia ad essere invisa ai militari, dapprima è vittima della censura, poi, viene imprigionata durante un concerto a La Plata e infine nel 1979 è costretta all'esilio a Parigi e l'anno dopo a Madrid. Durante l'esilio dedica molti brani alla sua patria e alla speranza di cambiamento e di pace e democrazia per gli argentini, come il brano Todo cambia (scritto da Julio Numhauser) e Sólo le pido a Dios.
Torna in Argentina il 18 febbraio 1982, alla vigilia della caduta del regime e si esibisce tredici volte al Teatro dell'Opera di Buenos Aires, accompagnata dai musicisti rock León Gieco e Charly García; dai concerti viene tratto l'LP Mercedes Sosa en Argentina. Tutti i suoi concerti in quell'occasione iniziano con il brano Todavía cantamos, un inno alla resistenza e alla speranza.
Il ritorno alla democrazia coincide con il successo discografico del live Mercedes Sosa en Argentina dallo Stadio Ferro Carril Oeste. Lo spettacolo diventerà poi parte del documentario a lei dedicato, Como un pájaro libre, che darà il nome ad un omonimo album.
Mercedes Sosa diventa il simbolo della resistenza e della speranza; nel 1984 realizza lo storico spettacolo Corazón americano, con Milton Nascimento e León Gieco, che ha luogo allo stadio Vélez Sarsfield di Buenos Aires; l'esecuzione, con gli altri due artisti, del brano Sólo le pido a Dios diventa l'inno delle nuove generazioni alla libertà riconquistata.
Il concerto è inserito all'interno del film su Mercedes, Será posible el sur?, realizzato dal regista tedesco Stefan Paul, un viaggio con Mercedes Sosa attraverso la nazione argentina, dal nord al sud, la sua gente e la sua storia.
Icona della libertà e simbolo del Sudamerica
Nel 1988 realizza il tour Three Voices (recentemente pubblicato sull'omonimo DVD), assieme alla folksinger e attivista per i diritti civili Joan Baez e al cantautore tedesco Konstantin Wecker. In quel tour spicca l'indimenticabile interpretazione di Gracias a la vida, il brano di Violeta Parra che Mercedes e la Baez avevano già inciso separatamente e che ora interpretano, con un nuovo arrangiamento, in duetto.
Nel 1988 lancia Amigos míos, una compilation nella quale compaiono brani di Milton Nascimento, Pablo Milanés, Teresa Parodi, Charly García, Fito Páez e Raimundo Fagner
Nel 1989 riceve la medaglia dell'Ordine del Cavaliere delle Arti e della Letteratura, consegnatole dal Ministro della Cultura Francese. Nel 1992, le viene conferita la carica di cittadino onorario della città di Buenos Aires, nel Salone d'Oro del Consiglio e negli Stati Uniti dove viene nominata ospite onorario del Texas e Houston, dal Sindaco e dal Governatore di Stato.
Nel 1993 partecipa alla colonna sonora del film Convivencia, duettando con Pablo Milanós e Roberto Goyeneche, uno dei più grandi cantanti di tango.
A novembre, sulla scia di un successo inarrestabile, esce la compilation Mercedes Sosa, 30 años, un disco che raggiunge i vertici nelle classifiche delle vendite; l'anno successivo Gestos de amor è Disco di Platino; gli album seguenti hanno parimenti un enorme successo.
Nel marzo 1997, Mercedes Sosa rappresenta l'America Latina e le isole caraibiche, in veste di Vice Presidente della Commissione per la stesura della Carta della Terra: il convegno stila un documento per la Tutela dell'Ambiente equivalente alla Carta dei Diritti Umani.
Nello stesso anno, dopo l'uscita dell'album Alta fidelidad-Mercedes Sosa canta a Charly García, il suo stato di salute peggiora: più volte in pericolo di vita, si ristabilisce solo dopo mesi di sofferenza, al termine dei quali realizza un nuovo album, non a caso intitolato Al Despertar che riceverà poi il Premio Gardel come Disco dell'Anno. Riprende a cantare incidendo nuovi album (l'ultimo nel 2005). Nel 2008 il documentario Será posible el sur? viene pubblicato su DVD con l'aggiunta di un'intervista a Mercedes in occasione del suo concerto a Stoccarda lo stesso anno, e parte del concerto.
Il tour europeo, iniziato nel 2008, doveva proseguire nel 2009, ma il management europeo ha comunicato l'annullamento del tour internazionale di Mercedes Sosa, dovuto a motivi di salute
L'ultimo album
Nel 2009 esce l'album doppio Cantora - Un viaje íntimo, un album-tributo di duetti in cui Mercedes è affiancata dai principali artisti del Sudamerica, fra cui María Graña, Leopoldo Federico, Shakira, Lila Downs, Gustavo Cerati, Marcela Morelo, Jorge Drexler, Gustavo Santaolalla, Julieta Venegas, Caetano Veloso e molti altri.
L'album è in corsa per i Latin Grammy Awards, i prestigiosi riconoscimenti della musica latinoamericana, che saranno consegnati il 5 novembre 2009 a Las Vegas. Mercedes Sosa ha conquistato diversi Latin Grammy sin dalla prima edizione, nel 2000, e poi nel 2003 e nel 2006. Nel 2010 "Cantora 1" è candidato nelle categorie miglior album dell'anno e miglior album folk.
La morte
Il 4 ottobre 2009 sul sito internet della cantora viene pubblicato un messaggio della sua famiglia che ne annuncia la morte a 74 anni. A settembre era stata ricoverata in un ospedale di Buenos Aires per una disfunzione renale. La camera ardente viene allestita nel "Salone dei passi perduti" del Congresso argentino.
Il governo argentino in occasione della scomparsa della cantora ha adottato il decreto 1402/2009 nel quale sottolinea che la carriera di Mercedes Sosa fu sempre di grande impegno sociale; il decreto ne esalta lo spirito di solidarietà, l'onestà intellettuale, l'impegno artistico e sociale, la ferrea difesa dei diritti umani e delle giuste cause che negli anni '70 le causò la persecuzione della dittatura, la prigione e l'esilio fino al suo ritorno nel 1982. Lo stesso decreto dichiara lutto nazionale in tutto il territorio della Repubblica Argentina per il periodo di tre giorni a partire dal 4 ottobre.
Migliaia di persone hanno reso omaggio a Mercedes Sosa nella camera ardente e fra queste la presidente della repubblica Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, il marito, l'ex presidente Néstor Kirchner, il capo di gabinetto, il presidente della camera, il segretario generale della presidenza, 5 ministri e molti artisti quali Teresa Parodi, Luis Salinas, Marián Farías Gómez, Víctor Heredia, il calciatore Diego Armando Maradona e molti altri.
Tutto il Sudamerica ha manifestato il suo dolore. Il Perù ha proclamato il lutto nazionale, la presidente del Cile, Michelle Bachelet, le ha dedicato un ricordo e un lungo applauso, il presidente del Brasile, Lula da Silva, ha inviato un suo rappresentante ufficiale ai funerali, il presidente venezuelano Hugo Chávez ha pubblicato su un periodico argentino la lettera ufficiale di condoglianze inviata alla presidente argentina.
Lunedì 5 ottobre la salma è stata trasferita al cimitero di Chacarita per una cerimonia privata e la cremazione.

Nel luglio 1996, a Porto Alegre, in Brasile, il Governo del Rio Grande le consegna la Medaglia Simoes Lopes Neto, per i meriti artistici e personali consacrati all¹unione dei popoli.
Nell¹ottobre dello stesso anno riceve il Premio CIM-UNESCO 1996, consegnatole dal Consiglio Internazionale della Musica dipendente dall'UNESCO. Questa onorificenza viene solitamente conferita a musicisti o enti musicali che hanno contribuito a promuovere la musica come strumento di comprensione tra le persone, cooperazione tra le nazioni od altre finalità sancite nella Carta delle Nazioni Unite e nell¹atto costitutivo dell'UNESCO.
Nel caso specifico il Consiglio ha dichiarato: "La Giuria ha ritenuto conferire a Mercedes Sosa questo premio, non solo per la brillante carriera, ma soprattutto per gli alti valori etici e morali dimostrati negli anni bui della storia argentina e per il costante impegno nella difesa dei diritti umani".

BkiUd0o4dbghQvjK-eDk | Level 3 to provide video services for the Super Bowl XLIX
When football fans sit down in front of their TV sets on Sunday to watch the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks play in this year's Super Bowl, Level 3 will once again be providing television broadcast video services to the NFL and NBC Sports.
Level 3 and its predecessor have a long history with the Super Bowl, having provided video services for the event for the past 26 years.
The University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., which will host the Super Bowl, will be connected directly to Level 3's fiber network, enabling the TV broadcast of the event.
In addition, Level 3 will support NBC broadcasts from downtown Phoenix, which will occur in the days leading up to, and the day of, the event. Level 3 said it expects that more than 3,000 hours of video content will be acquired, encoded and transported across Level 3's Vyvx VenueNet+ platform as part of the Super Bowl coverage.
A key element of Level 3's service is network uptime. Level 3 will provide NBC fully diverse, end-to-end on-net service to ensure what it says is "better reliability and control over the delivery process." Level 3 will also provide NBC with the video transport it requires to broadcast MSNBC's "Morning Joe" show from Phoenix in the days leading up to the Super Bowl. The service provider will also deliver Vyvx services to other NBCUniversal properties that will be onsite in Phoenix throughout the week.
Besides delivering the game, Level 3 will also carry the pre-game and post-game feeds to all NFL operations centers; NFL Films in Mt. Laurel, N.J., and NFL Network studios in Culver City, Calif., NFL Network Master Control in Atlanta and other broadcast networks and satellite teleport sites for global distribution.
