BkiUbjc5i7PA9KsD32vl | Pro-Israel progressive congressman-elect Ritchie Torres says he won't join anti-Zionist 'Squad'
Incoming Democratic Congressman Ritchie Torres (AP/Richard Drew)
(AP/Richard Drew)
In an interview published Saturday with the New York Post he said, "I came to observe that there are activists who have a visceral hatred for Israel as though it were the root of all evil."
An outspoken pro-Israel incoming progressive congressman will not be joining the left-wing "Squad" in the U.S. Congress, partly due to their anti-Israel stances, he announced over the weekend.
Ritchie Torres, who won his race in the South Bronx in the November elections, and is set to become the first openly gay Black or Latino man to serve in Congress, has been noted for combining strong progressive politics with support for Israel and Zionism.
"The act of singling out Israel as BDS has done is the definition of discrimination," he added.
Torres' connection to Israel dates back to two visits he made in 2015 and 2017, of which he said, "I remember meeting a family in Sderot. And I had no concept of what it was like to live in a city that lives under the fear of rocket fire."
"I'm going to make the case that the progressive position is a two-state solution and promoting dignity for both the Israelis and the Palestinians," he pledged.
Amanda Berman, head of the progressive Zionist group Zioness, told The Algemeiner following Torres' election that he is "an unapologetic ally of the Jewish community, with a visceral and personal understanding of what Zionism means to us, why 'anti-Zionism' is so nefarious, and what makes it, on almost every occasion, anti-Semitic."
The "Squad" currently includes Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, both of whom have made anti-Semitic statements, support the anti-Israel BDS movement, and encourage the elimination of Israel at the nation state of the Jewish people. The group's de facto leader, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, has regularly defended Omar and Tlaib in the wake of their offensive statements.

BkiUb5I25V5hZMvJn3Wk | TULSA, Okla. -- Union Public Schools is investigating a deadly threat at the 6th/7th grade center.
Parents reached out to 2 Works for You, saying the post talked about shooting other students. Union staff said they're aware. Administrators have reported it to police and they'll increase security on Friday.
The violent social media threat sparked rumors that now has school officials investigating everything from guns to gang violence.
"My daughter was scared, terrified about going to school. A lot of her friends are afraid of going to school tomorrow too," parent Jessica McConnell said.
A call went out to families Thursday evening, asking people to report any information they may have. But some parents said they wished administrators reached out sooner.
"If there is something serious that's going on at the school that involves your children, you should let the parents know before they have to find out for themselves because how can you trust the school if they don't do that?" Amber Lindsey said.
Both families said they're keeping their kids at home on Friday, and they don't believe they're alone.
"You can never say this isn't going to happen to me or my child or my child's school. I'd rather be safe than sorry," Lindsey said.
As this follows threats nationwide, some even reported to police.
"Everything that happened in Florida... I don't want it to happen here. I'm going to protect my jelly beans. My babies are my jelly beans," McConnell said.
Staff at Union said they don't believe the threat is credible, but they're taking every precaution to keep students and educators safe. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

Two soldiers during the First World War are sent to stop their fellow soldiers from walking into a trap in 1917. In the spring of 1917 in the midst of the First World War, Lance Corporal Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman) and Lance Corporal Schofield (George MacKay) are taken to speak with General Erinmore (Colin Firth), who tells them that 1600 soldiers, including Blake's older brother (Richard Madden), are walking into a trap set up by Germany. Blake and Schofield have until morning to travel deep into enemy territory and deliver orders to Colonel Mackenzie (Benedict Cumberbatch) and prevent a possible massacre.
1917 is an epic war film co-written and directed by Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Skyfall). Reteaming with acclaimed cinematographer Roger Deakins, 1917 is presented in a single continuous take, as two young British soldiers race to stop their comrades from walking into a massacre. With relatively unknown actors Dean-Charles Chapman and George MacKay cast as the leads, 1917 features a number of brief appearances from more familiar faces, such as Andrew Scott, Benedict Cumberbatch, Mark Strong, and Colin Firth.
Sam Mendes has had a quite varied filmmaking career since he debuted, and won multiple Oscars, with American Beauty in 1999. After directing the previous two James Bond films, Sam Mendes now directs a First World War film based loosely on a story about the war told to him by his grandfather Alfred H Mendes, to whom the film is dedicated.
The story of 1917 is a relatively simple one, as these two lone soldiers have to get from Point A to Point B, within a set time frame. However, the decision to present the film as a single continuous take helps to build the tension, as Blake and Schofield head deep into enemy territory. 1917 doesn't shy away from showing how deadly war can be and you are left truly fearing whether these soldiers will finish their mission on time.
The true star of 1917 is Roger Deakins' cinematography, which you really have to see on the biggest screen possible. 1917 is quite possibly the best shot film I've seen this year and I don't see any other film walking away with the Best Cinematography Oscar come awards season.
While I will say that Sam Mendes has made better films over his two-decade career, I will still say that 1917 is a single take war film that is both thrilling at times and a major visual accomplishment.

BkiUdsM4dbghUyoCIPiD | Q: Wait until an external operation completes with setInterval before finishing I got a JS code that simply activates a method. This method invokes an HTTP request which is causing some remote process to begin. I then need to check every 5 seconds if the remote process ended with a timeout of 5 minutes, after which I need to stop the waiting and throw an error if the timeout had expired, otherwise I need to simply log the result and complete the method.
What I'm not sure is how do I stop the execution of the main method until I get the response so I can have a value to log. This is what I got so far:
(async function(param)
{
...
var res = await fetch(...); //activate the remote proccess
var textAnswer = await res.text();
var infoObj = JSON.parse(textAnswer);
startChecks(infoObj.info.id); // this is the method which I need to await on somehow
}("paramValue");
async function startChecks(id)
{
var startTime = new Date().getTime();
intervalId = setInterval(checkStatus, 5000, id, startTime);
}
async function checkStatus(id, startTime)
{
//if more than 5 minutes had passed
if(new Date().getTime() - startTime > 300000)
{
clearInterval(intervalId);
throw new Error("External pipeline timeout expired");
}
var res = await fetch(...); //check remote process
var ans = await res.text();
var obj = JSON.parse(ans);
if(obj.finished) clearInterval(intervalId);
}
Like I said, what I want to achieve is that my main function won't end until all intervals are done with either the error thrown or the process finishes. How can I achieve that?
A: You would create a helper function that executes your function in given intervals until it resolves to something different than undefined. But only for the maximum amount of time.
This could look something like this:
// helper to wait for time milliseconds
async function sleep(time) {
return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, time));
}
async function repeatedExecution(callback, interval, timeout) {
// get start time
const start = Date.now();
// repeat as long the start time + timout is larger then the current time
while (start + timeout > Date.now()) {
// get a promise that resolves in interval seconds
let sleeper = sleep(interval)
// execute the callback
let res
if (res = await callback()) {
// if the callback returns something truthy return it
return res;
}
// wait until time for interval ends and then continue the loop
await sleeper;
}
// if we reach this point we timed out
throw new Error('timed out');
}
async function run() {
/*
var res = await fetch(...); //activate the remote proccess
var textAnswer = await res.text();
var infoObj = JSON.parse(textAnswer);
*/
try {
let result = await repeatedExecution(() => {
/*
var res = await fetch(...); //check remote process
var ans = await res.text();
var obj = JSON.parse(ans);
if(obj.finished) {
return true
}
*/
}, 1000, 3000);
// do something on success
} catch (err) {
// handle the error (timeout case)
console.error(err)
}
}
run();

Under the strategy the government plans to enhance shipbuilding capacity for future employment opportunities and meet its own maritime and defence requirements.
While falling orders for vessels and new ships account for the industry's slow growth, the government plans to explore the potential of its 151,485 miles of coastal line including the coastline of its 52,455 islands.
Over the past six years Canadian shipyards have invested more than $175m to modernise shipbuilding and repair capacity.

BkiUdGU4ubngzlN4p_QT | If you're looking for a new, scrumptious meal that makes a great breakfast, lunch or snack, you will sure go "nutty" for this recipe! The sweetness of the caramelized pineapple combined with warmth of the cinnamon creates for a true mouthwatering masterpiece! We love making this for breakfast and even dessert too!
Let's give this bite a whirl!
Place macadamia nuts, coconut, and cinnamon in a small mixing bowl and mix thoroughly.
Pour the mixture onto a nonstick baking pan and place it in the oven for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.
While the nut mixture is baking, heat a small frying pan and lightly spray it with oil from a spray bottle. Then, add the pineapple chunks to the pan, and allow them to simmer, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes until browned and caramelized. Once complete, remove the pan from the heat.
Once the nut mixture has cooked and is complete, remove the pan from the oven and set it aside and allow to cool.
Place Greek yogurt in a bowl, add the pineapple on top of yogurt, and then top it off with the nut mixture. Enjoy! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUcdzxK1Thg98UfRfT | Alex Nghiem continues his coverage of the J2EE platform for web services, providing an overview of the Java XML Pack.
Part 1 of this discussion of the J2EE platform covered the major APIs of the J2EE. This article continues that discussion with an overview of the Java XML Pack, which is part of the Java Web Services Developer Pack (Java WSDP), which in turn includes a host of other things such as a Java Registry Server (a UDDI-compliant registry). We'll also cover the J2EE vendors and their associated products.
The following sections briefly describe each of these APIs.
JAXP is a document-oriented API; through a "pluggability" layer, it allows any XML-compliant parser to be used from within an application.
As discussed previously, XML parsers support either the SAX API (for efficiently parsing XML documents through the use of event handlers) or the DOM API (for building and modifying XML documents through a tree structure).
JAXP also supports namespaces and XML schemas as well as XML Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT), which provides both a display mechanism for XML documents and a way to transform XML documents from one format to another.
JAXM facilitates developing programs that produce and consume SOAP messages. It provides methods such as creating SOAP messages and adding contents to the SOAP messages.
An application that uses JAXM is known as a JAXM client or a JAXM application. By default, a JAXM application supports only synchronous messaging. To support asynchronous messaging, a JAXM application must use a JAXM provider.
Additionally, the API provides functionality for industry initiatives such as ebXML. We'll get to ebXML in a future article.
JAXR defines a uniform way of accessing different types of registries. Currently, JAXR supports both the ebXML registry and UDDI registries. It includes functionality for publishing, searching, modifying, and deleting entries in the registry. JAXR also includes sample JAXR clients for browsing well-known registries, including those from Microsoft and IBM.
JAX-RPC provides an API for building web services and clients using RPCs and XML. Although it uses SOAP for messaging, the application doesn't actually deal with the parts of the SOAP message (as is the case with JAXM).
JAX-RPC supports both static invocation and dynamic invocation. Dynamic invocation is useful in cases where services can be discovered only during runtime. | c4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 3 |
BkiUdcQ4eIXgu5sT-G-E | Robert Purvis
Robert Purvis, the son of a wealthy cotton broker, was born on 4th August, 1810, in Charleston, South Carolina. In 1833 Purvis helped establish the Library Company of Colored People and the Anti-Slavery Society in Philadelphia.
In 1834 he embarked on a tour of England where he made speeches and raised funds for the Anti-Slavery cause. On his return to Philadelphia he was active in the campaign to repeal the new state law that barred African-Americans from voting. This included drafting the document, Appeal of Forty Thousand Citizens Threatened with Disfranchisement (1838).
Purvis was involved in the Underground Railroad and served as chairman of the General Vigilance Committee (1852-57) that helped assist fugitive slaves. He was also elected president of the Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society (1845-50). Purvis also campaigned in favour of women's rights, prison reform and prohibition.
Robert Purvis, who presided over the 50th anniversary meeting of the American Anti-Slavery Society in 1883, died in Philadelphia on 15th April, 1898.

What is the attitude of your boasting, braggart republic toward the 600,000 free people of colour who swell its population and add to its wealth? I have already alluded to the dictum of Judge Taney in the notorious Dred Scott decision. The dictum reveals the animus of the whole government; it is a fair example of the cowardly and malignant spirit that pervades the entire policy of the country. The end of the policy is, undoubtedly, to destroy the coloured man, as a man. With this view. it says a coloured man shall not sue and recover his lawful property; he shall not bear arms and train in the militia; he shall not be a commander of a vessel, not even of the meanest craft that creeps along the creeks and bays of your Southern coast; he shall not carry a mailbag, or serve as a porter in a post-office. | commoncrawl | 4 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdPI5qhLA6eZZnUWx | Residents offer thoughts on Lafourche's next schools chief
By Halle ParkerStaff Writer
A handful of Lafourche Parish residents attended a forum held by the School Board to discuss characteristics they'd like to see in the next superintendent.
Current Superintendent Louis Voiron's contract will end Dec. 31, one year early as a result of a buyout after he notified the board that he wouldn't return due to ongoing health issues.
South Lafourche High School Principal Gaye Cheramie said she was disappointed by the low turnout Tuesday.
"It is a very important position that we need to refill in our parish and affects all the young people and the future of our parish because education is a future for everyone," she said.
Held in the Career Magnet Center in Lockport, the forum started at 6 p.m. and closed within half an hour. Four School Board members were absent: Mary Breaud, Clyde Duplantis, Al Archer and Dennis Guillot.
Of the few who spoke, two south Lafourche residents said they want the next superintendent to come from within the school system. Each speaker was allotted two minutes.
Cheramie emphasized the need for someone already familiar with the inner workings of the district and its goals.
"We are one of the top districts in the state, and I want to continue that, so I would like somebody who could have the job and just run with it," she said.
Rodney Doucet, a teacher at the Magnet Center, shared similar thoughts. He said he didn't want someone from outside the school district to come in and slow progress, especially as it relates to the center.
"Getting someone in from the outside that doesn't know what's happening will have to be a learning experience," he said.
Livestreamed via Facebook, forum viewers also provided their perspectives.
Leah Callais commented that she wants someone who will be present in the individual schools, recalling Superintendent Louis Voiron's visit.
"I would like to see someone who has not forgotten what it is like to be the teacher in the classroom," she said. "Someone who hears our voice and realizes that our job does not end at 3 p.m."
Others cited concerns over bullying in the schools and finding someone who could develop an alternative to paying for teacher salaries if a proposed half-cent sales tax fails in the spring.
The deadline for superintendent applications is Dec. 31. The School Board is tentatively looking to interview candidates Jan. 13-17 and vote on a new superintendent by Feb. 5. The new superintendent would start no later than March 2.

BkiUbV_xK7ICUmfbyX32 | The 1920 Cleveland Indians season was the 20th season in franchise history. The Indians won the American League pennant and proceeded to win their first World Series title in the history of the franchise. Pitchers Jim Bagby, Stan Coveleski and Ray Caldwell combined to win 75 games. Despite the team's success, the season was perhaps more indelibly marked by the death of starting shortstop Ray Chapman, who died after being hit by a pitch on August 16.
Regular season
During the season, Jim Bagby became the last pitcher to win 30 games in one season for the Indians in the 20th century.
On August 17, shortstop Ray Chapman died after being hit by a pitch in a game against the Yankees, becoming the second of only two Major League Baseball players to have died as a result of an injury received in a game (the first was Mike "Doc" Powers in 1909).

BkiUbAQ4eIXguy2tNfy6 | The Buddhist temples in Khocho include three basic systems of construction, meditation-centered, chaitya-centered, and the pattern of meditation before a stupa. The structural forms, themes of mural paintings, and decorative patterns and inscriptions in these types of temples can further be compared with those in cave temples in Qiuci, Karashahr, and the Hexi regions. The temples discussed in this paper were constructed over four periods of time, namely the early 5th century, the late 6th to the 8th century, from the late 9th to the middle of the 10 thcentury, and from the Western Xia to the Yuan dynasty. This paper discusses the origins, developments, and influences of the temples of different systems in different periods. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUaZTxK1yAgXBVCISN | Introduction: Work-related stress has been identified at international, european and national level as a concern for both employers and workers. Stress can potentially affect any workplace and any worker, irrespective of the size of the company, field of activity, or form of employment contract or relationship. Having identified the need for specific joint action on this issue and anticipating a Commission consultation on stress, the European social partners included this issue in the work programme of the social dialogue 2003–2005.
Aim: The aim of the Boostress project was to identify the needs of young professionals and relevant stakeholders regarding work related stress management. Furthermore, the aim was to develop a suite of training materials to support young Europeans to develop their skills and competencies to able them to manage stress in the workplace more effectively.
Material and Method: A focus group approach was implemented using a convenience sample of young professionals(15 participants) and stakeholders (15 participants) all professionally active within the healthcare sector. The Focus Group sessions lasted 2,5 hours each using a semi structured discussion were led by a facilitator. The process was recorded using voice recorder. Bioethic Committee approval and participants' consent were obtained prior to study implementation.
Results: A lot of health professionals are systematically and increasingly reporting physical symptoms that may be associated to overstress, such as musculoskeletal problems, headaches, back pain, migraine, insomnia, hypersomnia and gastro internal problems. Increased physical and mental demand at work, poor work conditions, low salaries, increased working hours, unrealistic deadlines, lack of support, psychological pressure and time limitation were reported during the focus group as common factors contributing to the onset of the aforementioned conditions.
Conclusion: In order to support the new employees to cope with the very demanding work conditions in the healthcare sector there is a necessity to create an effective stress management program. A program that will give them the opportunity to have access to guidelines and stress management tips and tools, including psychological support, therapeutic techniques, breathing techniques, scenarios, case studies and videos could be beneficial to prevent burnout for both stakeholders and young health professionals in their everyday life. | c4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 3 |

Combating Corruption for Good Governance
While accountability cannot happen overnight in Pakistan, things seems to be changing. The Supreme Court verdict explicitly damning former prime minister Nawaz Sharif for his recurring penchant for untruths and evading facts is most refreshing.

Transparency International's (TI) 2017 report 'People and Corruption: Asia Pacific" voices concerns across the globe about growing inequality, poverty and exclusion of the most vulnerable. As a diverse and rapidly developing region, "it is essential that the countries in the Asia-Pacific region achieve sustainable and equitable development – this can only be done by ensuring that public decision-making promotes the common good. Corruption undermines this, as it distorts democratic processes and promotes private over public interests". Ranked among the highly corrupt countries in TI's Corruption Perception Index (CPI) for a straight 22 years (1995-2016), corruption in Pakistan derails governance by being deeply entrenched in almost all State organs and in public institutions. Effective anti-corruption has failed to be implemented because the role of the State's anti-corruption bodies is wanting and questionable.
To combat corruption and resolve the problems of governance, it is essential to look at the impact on social development. Social development is meant to improve the living conditions of the people, enabling them to become useful members of society, so they can benefit from changing living conditions. This means progress in its economic and all other definitions needs to benefit people and recognition that people shape development processes. The major indicators of social development are poverty rate, infant mortality, general life expectation, literacy rate, health care factors, gender equality, etc. It is very clear that Pakistan lags behind in most, if not all of these indicators.
Corruption undermines structures of governance that are already weak and hampers the State's service delivery. Weakness of State institutions is often blamed on repeated army rule, but what about our many civilian governments who came into power through the ballot but not one of them exhibited even an iota of intent in improving governance? This become clear from the apathy of successive governments relating to a 2008 report 'National Commission on Government Reforms' (NCGR) authored by Dr. Ishrat Hussain. This contained a comprehensive analysis of the problems of governance and offered a very well-thought out and carefully planned roadmap of solutions. Swept under the carpet this report, thus remains dormant even today.
Pakistan's social indicators are abysmal, human development has never been a priority in Pakistan. In the 2016 Human Development Index (HDI) Pakistan has been ranked at 147 out of 188 countries ranked. In order to improve human development, Pakistan will have to invest heavily in employment, engagement and empowerment of youth whose numbers are growing and also provide basic social services and safety nets that will empower people to live lives they yearn for. Recently there has been a spate of incidents of civil unrest by opposition political parties and other groups, these were fueled by a growing perception about the government failing in its policy-making and has not prioritizing the people's needs nor listening to their voices and grievances – all these are negative indicators of governance.
Given the connection between governance, service provision and social development, there is a dire need for reforms in governance in Pakistan. This has been conveniently neglected and downplayed especially by our political rulers who fear for their reliable power structures that can be used to win next elections. Given the appalling situation in the social sector, the national interest and the interest of the people require the government to take measures for improving living conditions. While the NCGR report will need some updating it can otherwise be used as a starting point for reforms. To quote Dr. Ishrat Hussain, "Government reform has to be comprehensive, concurrent and coordinated as partial, isolated and ad hoc efforts will not produce the synergy required to achieve the desired results."
Devolution of power must be the focus of governance reforms. While our centralized system of government has positive aspects, its negative factors include the break-up of Pakistan, dissatisfaction among provinces, demands for autonomy and secessionist movements. We must have the reorganization of the federal set-up with a stronger role of the Council of Common Interest (CCI) and a new basis for the National Finance Commission Award (NFC). Such measures will discourage ethnicity–based policies and movements and strengthen unity of the country. Devolution of power must reach down to the grassroots level and create, expand and improve a local government system which is covered in the Constitution under Article 140A. Almost no one talks about the lack of local government structure at the lowest tier through which the State is supposed to provide essential services to the people. The media rightly focuses on the PanamaGate or the Swiss cases, however these are remotely connected to the masses. The absence of local governments or the shams being run as "grassroots democracy" do not seem to warrant serious media attention. The implementation of the devolution of power plan of 2010 in the provinces was lacking, real devolution of power means the higher levels should give way and transfer powers to a lower level. With the system in full control of feudal, old and nouveau alike, this will never be allowed to happen.
As highlighted in the NCGR report, institutional reforms at the federal, provincial and local levels are clearly defined and overlapping avoided. The British civil service strength is the strong ethical commitment of service members, sadly this was lost. There is a need to re-install such ethical commitment into the services through training but also through a transparent system of accountability in all spheres of govt. Such accountability would not only be means to fight and prevent corruption, it will also promote effectiveness of governance and create trust in the government. Equal treatment by the State will create feelings of equality and commitment that is the basis of democracy, unlike recent experiences with political accountability where a gap is seen between legal and moral accountability. Given our special identity, ethical aspects of governance must be grounded in general principles of Islam to bridge the gap between legal and moral rightfulness and join the two together.
Crying out for change and resolution of issues faced, today there is dismay among the people of this impoverished nation in the air with negativity, gloom and distrust assuming threatening proportions even as the nation faces challenges, some quite formidable. While accountability cannot happen overnight things seems to be changing. The Supreme Court verdict explicitly damning Mian Nawaz Sharif for his recurring penchant for untruths and evading facts is most refreshing. Coinciding with the Saudi Crown Prince's onslaught against corruption, would Maryum include Saudis along with the superior judiciary and the Army in the "conspiracy against the Sharifs"?

BkiUeDLxK1ThhAqzXbB8 | In the midst of everything brewing in the feud between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B, everybody and their momma have an opinion to share.
Hip Hop Troll 50 Cent says he's grabbing his popcorn and watching with everyone else while Vivica A. Fox thinks Cardi's role in the altercation was justified in the moment.
The latter stated "I just believe that Nicki knows how to push people's buttons, and she does it very passive aggressively," during an interview on Sway In The Morning.
Kelly Rowland (who continues to be amazing) is playing neutral ground and argues that it's not the right time for women to be fighting each other in the midst of the fight for equality.
"I think in a time where Serena Williams is fighting for equality—I love both Nicki Minaj and Cardi B and I think that they are extremely talented—and in a time when she is fighting for women's equality, we just can't be fighting," Kelly told E! News.
"It's no time for us as women to fight and they are just so talented and I just genuinely love them both so much, but it's just not the time. It's not the time. We have way bigger issues as women, you know what I mean? So I don't know. I'm Switzerland, I don't [expletive] know," she concluded.
When it comes to the Nicki/Cardi feud, the one superstar opinion that fans hold in precedence above all: Beyoncé Knowles-Carter.
Fans have noticed a move from the Queen that they have said is a vote for Team Nicki. The Barbs are going wild on the internet interacting with the BeyHive and Bardi Gang to substantiate their claims.
And it's all thanks to one photo.
Nicki Minaj's Barb army have proudly pointed out that Beyoncé's website shows a new photo upload of Minaj's infamous 2003 mugshot.
It's worth noting that Nicki's mugshot is just one of several that's been used as a stage backdrop for Bey and Jay-Z's On the Run 2 Tour. If you go to a concert, you'll also see Snoop Dogg and the late Lisa "Left Eye" Lopez amongst others.
But while some fans believe the picture being added to Beyonce.com was a definitive move from the Queen, other's think it's just a coincidence. The BeyHive want no part of this and don't want Beyoncé's name mentioned in this at all.
Beyoncé's Coachella background was a warning for how many days away the album was and y'all really believe her putting Nicki's mugshot on her site was a coincidence? Y'all are stupid.
Beyoncé just uploaded nicki minaj mugshot on her website and ONLY hers to let y'all know queens sit with queens and roaches roach together.
Cardi B posted a clip on her Instagram page that featured a concert stop Bey & Jay's On The Run II tour.
In the video, her #1 song "Bodak Yellow" is being blasted and then turned off, but concertgoers kept rapping the lyrics for 30 more seconds.
Bardi Gang is trying to argue that it's possible all of this proof may mean the opposite!
We know Beyoncé is the Queen of subliminal/subtle messages- do you think she's Team Nicki or Team Cardi or neither? | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUaV3xK7Tt6AlxBD9f | Rue Montgolfier je ulice v Paříži v historické čtvrti Marais. Nachází se ve 3. obvodu. Ulice nese jméno bratrů Montgolfierů.
Poloha
Ulice vede od křižovatky s Rue Conté a Rue de Turbigo a končí na křižovatce s Rue du Vertbois. Vyznačuje hranici bývalého kláštera Saint-Martin-des-Champs a vede podél Conservatoire national des arts et métiers.
Historie
Část mezi ulicemi Rue Conté a Rue Ferdinand-Berthoud byla otevřena začátkem roku 1817. Stalo se tak na základě ministerského rozhodnutí ze dne 9. října 1816 v rámci rozvoje tržnice Saint-Martin, kterou ulice ohraničovala z východu, současně s Rue Ferdinand-Berthoud (nyní již neexistující), Rue Borda, Rue Conté a Rue Vaucanson.
Královská vyhláška z 23. července 1817 stanovila prodloužení této ulice až k Rue Vertbois a zmocňovala prefekta, aby zde zajistil výstavbu budov. Ministr vnitra 27. září rozhodl, že se tato veřejná komunikace bude nazývat Rue Montgolfier.

BkiUfpXxK6wB9dbuWJrv | Hi, I have a Vauxhall astra which I wanted to trade in for a newer model but I still have finance left to pay with Vauxhall finance. There is about 18 months left and I pay £250 a month so I must owe about £3750. I want to trade it in for a new one and I think it is worth about £5000 as we buy any car offered me this online. I spoke to a dealer the other day and they weren't very helpful and said I would need to settle the finance before they would take it from me. I would appreciate some help and advice and maybe a quote for my next car loan as well. Thanks.
I have spoken to a company called ACF Car Finance who say they can provide me with a car loan but they want me to buy one of their cars. I have seen a Peugeot 308 at a dealership closer to me and it is in really nice condition and doesn't sound expensive. My friend recommended me to this dealer so I was hoping you might be able to get me a car loan so I can get this Peugeot. I was quoted £285 a month. Can you do any better?
Can you please tell how it would work with a private buyer.

BkiUfjI5qhLBuWLdF7Ls | Durin's Doors
"I Had to Choose, Mr. Frodo. I Had to Come With You." Sam Gamgee at The Doors of Durin."
October 30, 2021 / stephencwinter / 14 Comments
The final chapter of The Two Towers is entitled The Choices of Master Samwise, that terrible moment when Sam is convinced that Shelob has killed Frodo and that he must go on alone for the sake of the world, to bear the Ring to the Fire and so complete the task that Frodo was given at the Council in Rivendell. The very title that Tolkien gives to Sam, Master Samwise, in that chapter head, is the most dignified that he can give. Tolkien's Shire is very much like the rural England of his childhood with clear class distinctions and so Frodo Baggins is entitled Mister while his gardener is Master. One of the themes that runs through The Lord of the Rings is the way in which the relationship between Frodo and Sam, one that begins as Master and Servant, becomes a friendship based upon all that they have shared together.
Not that Sam ever quite realises this. Even as they make their last journey to The Grey Havens together Sam still addresses Frodo as Mister. This is not just an expression of the society of Tolkien's early years and of the Shire that he creates but it also shows us where Sam feels most at home for there is never a moment in his life in which he bears any resentment concerning his place in this world. When Frodo leaves Sam becomes the Master of Bag End, his family name changes from Gamgee to Gardner and he becomes a gentleman and Mayor of the Shire.
Perhaps Frodo had to leave in order to create this space for Sam because until that moment Frodo is the very centre of Sam's world and whereas Frodo was probably already living in another world by the time he he made that last journey Sam had work to do in Middle-earth and needed to be a man of authority in order to do it. And it is Frodo's place in Sam's world that forces Sam to make his choice at Durin's Doors when Bill the pony runs away from the terrible creature that lives in the pool before them suddenly attacks Frodo. Until that moment Sam was seriously considering disobedience to Gandalf's gentle but firm instruction that Bill should be left behind at the gates of Moria for Sam had come to love this creature with whom he has shared so much and for whom he has had a special care. Sam knows that once you have given care to another creature there is a sense in which that creature has a claim over you forever.
John Howe depicts Sam's Choice at the Gates of Moria
Gandalf knows this which is why he is so gentle in the way he gives Sam the instruction but it is not Gandalf's instruction that finally forces Sam to make a decision great though Sam's respect for Gandalf is, it is Frodo's plight. It is almost certain that the monster in the pool is drawn towards Frodo as the Ringbearer, not that it has been some instruction by Sauron, but that its very being draws it towards the Ring as all creatures of its kind are.
"Out from the water a long sinuous tentacle had crawled; it was pale-green and luminous and wet. Its fingered end had hold of Frodo's foot, and was dragging him into the water. Sam on his knees was now slashing at it with a knife."
Sam has to choose between Frodo and Bill and he chooses Frodo. But it is a choice that almost tears him in two, something that Tolkien expresses in the tears and curses that pour forth from Sam as he runs back from the fleeing pony as he hears the sound of Frodo's distress. The tears are the breaking of Sam's heart while the curses are his anger against a universe that has made him make such a choice. For Sam goodness and happiness lies in a world that has been given to him, a world of fruitful and happy service, and at the moment in which he hears Frodo's cry that world falls apart. Sam has to choose and choosing is something that Sam has never wished to do. Sam did not really choose to go with Frodo. He expresses what he does as obedience to a command. Whether or not we agree with him is neither here nor there. This is how Sam sees it and this is what gives him his dignity and his place in the world. And at the moment when Sam chooses, when he has to choose, it is this that enables him to achieve the impossible.
It is through all that they share together that a deep friendship is formed. | commoncrawl | 5 | 3 | 5 | 4 |

BkiUdos4c3aisE1SQt4p | Have a friends that works in architectural agencies which is have specialized in preservation old building, were so helpful for me in order to complete my articles about the history mainly in related with Semarang. Its my friend named Yohanes Khrisna H P, that asked me about "who is actually Thio Thiam Tjong? How come this man afford to hired Thomas Kaarsten, the famous architect at that time in order to design His house?". I was so long time ago known this house but just now, by the info from Mas Khrisna actually, know that this house once belongs to Tho Thiam Tjong, and its designed by Kaarsten. Then I found who is Thio Thiam Tjong as its written in "Prominent Indonesian Chinese: Biographical Sketches" by Leo Suryadinata.
Thio Thiam Tjong was born on April 4th 1896 form the wealthy peranakan (native-chinese) family. His father was the owner of the export-import firm in Semarang, Thio Siong Liong Maatschappij, which Thio Thiam Tjong inherited and expanded after his father had retired. Thio was Dutch-educated, first in Semarang and later in Delft Technical College, Netherlands. Before graduating, he returned to Java, presumably to take over His fathers business, He became very active in the local chinese community named Chung Hwa Hui (CHH). Founded in 1928 CHH is a political organization that carried the ethnic Chinese Nationalism oriented to Dutch East Indies authorities, this was contrary to Tiong Hoa Hwe Kwan (THHK). This movement is getting support from so many peranakan intellectuals. CHH take a cooperation sides against the Colonial authorities and actively participate in local political institutions included in the Volksraad (People's Council). Here, Thio was elected to its central board, where after that elected as President of the Semarang branch in the 1930s and served as the Provincial Council of Central Java.
at Hotel Du Pavillion (now Hotel Dibya Puri), 1927.
Beside His political carrier, Thio Thiam Tjong also concerned with social and educational affairs of the Chinese community. In 1928, He became the chairman of the Chinese-English School (Now used as SMA Negeri 5 Semarang). Following the Japanese occupation of Manchuria, He inisiated the Jiogou Houyuan Hui (Save the country from the back line) movement and later the China Charity Fund (Semarang Branch) in order to support the resistance against Japanese in Manchuria. It was reported that for every donation drive His Thio Siong Liong Maatschappij was alway the largest donor. Before the Japanese invasion of Java, the Colonial Government organized a local defence force in which He was appointed as the Chief Commander.

When the Revolution for Independence broke up. Thio was invited by Governor-General Van Mook to became His personal adviser, considering Thio's popularity among the Indonesian chinese. In 1948, Thio established Persatuan Tionghoa (PT) with the aim of organizing Indonesian Chinese readiness for the changing situation. Nevertheless, the complete withdrawal of the Dutch forces and the coming power of indigenous Indonesians diminished Thio's influence. His past record as van Mook's adviser made Him labeld as anti-nationalist movement. Thio's PDTI (the new name of the PT after 1950) was declining and replaced by Baperki. Thio later concerned in His busines and education activity. In 1957, he together with another Chinese-Indonesian, formed a committee to established the Tarumanegara University.

Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created. When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters.

BkiUfn45qhDCZSoNyS3x | The election-eve NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows Democrats leading by seven percentage points, 50 percent to 43 percent, among likely voters. That's down from a nine-percentage point lead last month.
Republican pollster Bill McInturff, who conducts the NBC/WSJ survey with his Democratic counterpart Peter Hart, said "the base is coming home."
President Donald Trump's late campaign blitz targeting immigrants has rallied the Republican base of white working-class voters, helping to curb the Democratic advantage heading into Tuesday's midterm elections for Congress.
That slightly narrowing reflects rising interest in the election from the foundation of Trump's support: White men, especially older, less educated, less affluent ones in small towns and rural areas. Most noteworthy for a mid-term election, the 2018 campaign has seized the attention of voters at presidential-campaign levels — and Trump has helped Republicans wipe out the advantage Democrats held earlier in the campaign.
"There has been some method to his madness," said Republican pollster Bill McInturff, who conducts the NBC/WSJ survey with his Democratic counterpart Peter Hart. "The base is coming home."
The results presage the possibility of a split verdict on Tuesday. With many battleground House races taking place in more affluent suburbs, the unusual Trump-era advantage Democrats continue to maintain among college-educated whites — especially women — represent a strong sign for their prospects of gaining or exceeding the 23-seat gain they need to recapture the majority.
But in the less-populated, more conservative states that will decide control of the Senate, the late campaign trend brightens Republican prospects. Needing a two-seat gain to recapture a majority, Democrats must defend incumbents in states such as Missouri, Indiana and North Dakota where the Trump base looms larger.
"Republicans have clearly made progress," McInturff said. One key indicator: the Democratic edge among independent voters has dipped to nine percentage points from 14 percent last month, reflecting fresh uncertainty among less-affluent white men.
The telephone poll of 1,000 voters, conducted Nov. 1-3, carries a margin for error of 3.1 percentage points. Among the 774 voters deemed most likely to cast ballots, the error margin in 3.5 percentage points. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdY425V5jCst-R-Ih | Samsung works with France's Orange to disaggregate hardware and software of traditional RAN
Lim Chang-won Reporter(cwlim34@ajunews.com) | Posted : November 11, 2021, 09:16 | Updated : November 11, 2021, 09:16

SEOUL -- Samsung Electronics will work with France's Orange S.A. to disaggregate the hardware and software elements of a traditional radio access network (RAN) by participating in the opening of the mobile network operator's open RAN center in Paris.
Orange plans to deploy base stations compliant with the Open RAN (O-RAN or ORAN) Alliance, starting with indoor and rural configurations. The alliance is a global carrier-led effort to drive new levels of openness in the radio access network of 5G wireless systems. It aims to make radio access networks more open and smarter than previous generations.
"Through this collaboration, we look forward to taking networks to new heights in the European market, enabling operators to offer more immersive mobile services to their users," Kim Woo-june, global sales and marketing head at Samsung's network business, said in a statement on November 10. The two companies would conduct trials to verify capabilities and performance of Samsung's virtualized radio access network (vRAN) and massive Multiple Input and Multiple Output (MIMO) radio.
RAN resides between a device such as a mobile phone, a computer, or any remotely controlled machine and provides connection with its core network. Virtualized RAN, or vRAN, moves the controller functions of hardware base stations to centralized servers, bringing them closer to the edge of a network to allow mobile network operators to pool and adjust radio resources to better accommodate for user traffic.
Samsung's 5G vRAN provides a software-based architecture that enables simpler, more flexible and more scalable network deployments. It drives more efficient access to private 5G networks through easy deployment of baseband software in mobile edge computing facilities that provide ultra-low delay and high-speed services regardless of physical distance.
MIMO uses antennas at each end of the communications circuit. Massive MIMO is a system with a high number of antennas that makes it far more resistant to interference and intentional jamming than standard MIMO networks which use two or four antennas. The 5G era needs Massive MIMO's ability to serve multiple users simultaneously in a condensed area while maintaining fast data rates and consistent performance.
"Open RAN is a major evolution of radio access that requires deeper cooperation within the industry. With our European peers, we want to accelerate the development of Open RAN solutions that meet our needs," Arnaud Vamparys, senior vice president of Orange's radio access networks and microwaves, was quoted as saying.

BkiUddvxaKgT106Jshfj | Hip problems with different dog breeds should be identified at an early stage. If you think that smaller dogs are safe from joint problems, you're wrong. Joint problems can attack any breed of dog at any point in time. Since you can't be too sure if your dog is suffering from joint problems or not, this article can help you in determining if your dog has a problem.
Dog breeding is not just a regular kind of business. If you're a sensible person, you will understand that dog breeding also requires you to conduct your activities the ethical way. Ethics is always in question when it comes to breeding dogs and so you need to double your effort to ensure success.
Dog breeding requires you to pay attention on proper caring for pups. When your puppy is already 3-days old, you will need to decide whether you will dock-a-tail or remove dewclaws. This should be done at exactly 3 days after birth so that it will heal quickly and nicely. | c4 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUeFfxK7ICUmfb0KLH | Attention all cat lovers - it's been almost a year since we revealed that Gloucestershire would be getting its first ever cat café.
So almost 12 months on, here's everything you need to know about the Cheltenham's Cat Lounge.
Although most students go travelling or start looking for their first job after graduating, third year animation student Gina Mallard has her own plans.
The University of Gloucestershire student said she "has always been really passionate about animals and the environment" and so wanted to launch an animal sanctuary.
However after she discovered that this was not financially stable, her idea evolved into the cat lounge.
Gina has been supported by youth charity The Prince's Trust which has helped guide her in her endeavours.
Gina said: "I'm finishing my third year at university so when I'm finished I can dive straight into the cafe and put 100 per cent of my time and effort into it."
The young entrepreneur has been property hunting in Cheltenham and is hoping to register the business this week.
The Cat Lounge would see Gina work with animal shelters and take on rescue pets with the aim of finding them more permanent homes.
And any felines that the shelter deem not suitable for the café environment will be promoted at the eatery in an attempt to find them their fur-ever home too.
Gina added that she would love to open the café in Cheltenham later on this year and the businesses fundraising page is still open. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

Uber, Lyft, DoorDash considering coronavirus fund for quarantined drivers
Nikola Motors not worried by coronavirus' market impact
ValueAct Capital founder Jeff Ubben and Nikola Motors CEO Trevor Milton discuss Nikola going public, 2019's IPO flops like WeWork and coronavirus's recent impact on markets.
Major ridesharing and food delivery services are reportedly considering funds to alleviate hardships for drivers that are impacted by coronavirus quarantines throughout the U.S., according to The Wall Street Journal.
CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK MEANS COSTCO SHOPPERS CAN SAY GOODBYE TO FREE SAMPLES
Insiders told the publication that companies such as Uber Technologies Inc., Lyft Inc., DoorDash Inc., Postmates Inc. and Instacart Inc. are exploring options that would help these drivers in light of mounting pressure to provide more employment benefits. People familiar with the discussions told The Wall Street Journal that negotiations are in progress and will be revealed in a few days.
UBER UBER TECHNOLOGIES INC. 31.68 -0.53 -1.65%
LYFT LYFT INC. 36.02 -1.06 -2.86%
"We are supporting drivers and delivery people who are diagnosed with COVID-19 or placed in quarantine by a public health authority. Drivers and delivery people in these situations will receive compensation for a period of up to 14 days," Uber's Senior Vice President of Rides and Platform Andrew Macdonald told FOX Business. "This has already begun in some markets and we are working to implement mechanisms to do this worldwide. We believe this is the right thing to do."
New York City, USA – March 5, 2016: Uber car service with sign in the car window is waiting to pick up passengers on 5th Avenue in New York City, N.Y.
There have been no confirmed cases of coronavirus being transferred from Uber driver to rider, according to the company – which comes a day after an Uber driver from New York tested positive for the virus. The company did not reveal how it will calculate pay for quarantined drivers.
Uber has reportedly compensated five drivers in the U.K. and Mexico, insiders shared with The Wall Street Journal.
CORONAVIRUS CONCERNS SEE STARBUCKS TEMPORARILY BAN PERSONAL AND IN-STORE CUPS
A representative from the competing rideshare service Lyft told FOX Business, "We can't confirm the WSJ story other than what they wrote about what our spokesperson said: 'A Lyft spokeswoman said the company had also decided to provide funds to drivers infected or quarantined by a public health authority.'"
Dayton – Circa April 2018: Car for hire with a Lyft sticker. Lyft and Uber have replaced many Taxi cabs for transportation with a smartphone app.
Earlier in the week, though, Lyft's Chief Financial Officer Brian Roberts said the company had set a record on rides and revenue due to people opting for private cars over public transportation. In his own words, "When you're packed against people and you hear distant coughing, I think there's nothing worse in terms of the human psyche right now because there's just so much fear."
In the food delivery world, Instacart is considering policy updates to ensure the health and safety of its drivers and customers. And at the same time, the company's sales growth reportedly accelerated 10-fold in one week as more people have stockpiled food and other items.
(Instacart)
POSTMATES TAKES CORONAVIRUS PRECAUTIONS, INTRODUCES 'NON-CONTACT DELIVERIES'
"DoorDash's task force is actively working to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to protect the health and safety of our community in response to the spread of COVID-19, including exploring options with our peer companies to compensate Dashers affected by the novel coronavirus," a DoorDash spokesperson told FOX Business.

FOX Business reached out Postmates but did not immediately hear back at the time of publication. However, the company reportedly told The Wall Street Journal that it is considering support for driver health check-ups. It has also allowed drivers to do delivery drop-offs in the last week to limit contact between customers and drivers, according to the publication.

The number of confirmed coronavirus cases has surpassed 107,700 around the globe and has resulted in over 3,650 deaths at the time of publication, according to the Johns Hopkins live tracker. In the U.S., the coronavirus outbreak has reached 437.
These growing numbers have contributed to concern among drivers who are more often than not are considered independent contractors and don't received paid leave.
Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., wrote to the chief executives of these aforementioned ridesharing and food delivery platforms to ensure "that economic uncertainty will not be deterrents to their workers following public health guidance" on Friday.

BkiUe1TxK1ThhBMLh3Bk | New PUBG data mining leaks x3 and x6 scopes coming with the new map
PUBG Corp
PUBG - AWM
Skin Tracker have revealed new upcoming weapon attachments for PUBG on their Twitter earlier today, revealing new scopes and a shotgun attachment. PUBG Corp haven't confirmed it yet, but these are dug from the new map's files.
PUBG Corp are continuing down their roadmap for this year, with the first tests for the new, commencing between today, 02 April and Thursday 05 April 2018. These tests will be done in Closed Beta style, with only a limited number of players that can access it between these dates. A recent update introduced the map's game files and apparently a few stray items that weren't supposed to be revealed yet.
Skin Tracker is a Twitter account that normally does what its name implies - tracks skins via data mining and publishes any findings on Twitter. They took a small change in direction this time around, due to the importance of their latest leaks. The upcoming update that will introduce the Savage map will also apparently bring new weapon mods, such as x3, x6 scopes and a Duckbill attachment for shotguns.
Scope functions are likely obvious by this point, with one zooming your view three times while aiming down the sights of your weapon and the other zooming it in six times. The Duckbill attachment will change the behaviour of the shotguns' spread. It will decrease vertical spread while increasing the horizontal spread. Now this may not sound like much of an alteration to the way shotguns work but it should allow for aiming further up the enemy's body so the pellets don't miss by going over their head.
It is not yet known if the aiming reticle will be slightly changed in order to accommodate the new spread but it shouldn't be too hard to acclimatize to it regardless. The new scopes should provide their users with more options for mid range, as well as allow players to actually find scopes more often, allowing for more engagements earlier in the game.

BkiUcn7xK7DgtAWe0GC4 | The costs of certification and training means that encapsulation and asbestos abatement work is most often performed by specialized asbestos and hazardous materials contractors. The specific requirements for asbestos certification may vary slightly from state to state and are based on guidelines set by the federal government.
In the state of California, the required certification for asbestos work is the Asbestos Abatement Certification (ASB). The certification is awarded by testing. Five general subjects are covered by the certification exam: safety procedures and regulations, handling and containing asbestos-containing materials, asbestos abatement procedures, containment area preparation, and site evaluation.
Generally, asbestos abatement work must be done by certified professionals. However, in a very few instances, asbestos related work may be performed without asbestos certification. In California, the installation, maintenance or repair of a few types of asbestos-containing materials (asbestos cement pipe or sheets, vinyl asbestos floor materials, or asbestos bituminous or resinous materials) can be done by contractors without certification.
For all other types of asbestos-related work involving 100 square feet or more of asbestos-containing material, contractors are required to be certified by the state in order to perform the work. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUa9Q25V5hdn6rPmkr | Q: why is this linq query return a boolean and not the first result of the select? I have a string array with 5 items. How to get one of these 5 items by a linq query?
Code below returns only a boolean true.
string[] allWebTemplateSettings =SiteLidmaatschapSettings.Current.ProvisioningSettings;
var webTemplate = allWebTemplateSettings
.Select(x => x.StartsWith(string.Format("Template:{0}", web.WebTemplate)))
.FirstOrDefault();
A: Well, you're getting an IEnumerable of bools with your Select, then you pick the first one if there are any. That's why you're getting a bool as your answer.
I think what you actually want is this:
string[] allWebTemplateSettings = SiteLidmaatschapSettings.Current.ProvisioningSettings;
var prefix = string.Format("Template:{0}", web.WebTemplate);
var webTemplate = allWebTemplateSettings
.FirstOrDefault(x => x.StartsWith(prefix));
I've moved the string formatting operation out of the predicate since it is wasteful to recompute it for each element in your collection (especially if the collection is long).
A: You are confusing Select, which selects a new value based on each existing value of a sequence, with Where, which filters a sequence so it only contains items where a condition is met.
The simplest change is to replace your usage of Select with Where.
string[] allWebTemplateSettings = SiteLidmaatschapSettings.Current.ProvisioningSettings;
var webTemplate = allWebTemplateSettings
.Where(x => x.StartsWith(string.Format("Template:{0}", web.WebTemplate)))
.FirstOrDefault();
The other answers have rolled this usage of Where into FirstOrDefault without explaining your underlying confusion.
A: Use Where instead of Select:
var webTemplate = allWebTemplateSettings.Where(x => x.StartsWith(string.Format("Template:{0}", web.WebTemplate))).FirstOrDefault();
A: That's because StartsWith returns a bool and you're saying Select that bool based on whether it starts with that value or not. So actually, you're not even filtering on that value at all because you're not using a filter expression.
Actually, you only need FirstOrDefault as the list is already a List<string>
string[] allWebTemplateSettings = SiteLidmaatschapSettings.Current.ProvisioningSettings;
var webTemplate = allWebTemplateSettings
.FirstOrDefault(x => x.StartsWith(string.Format("Template:{0}", web.WebTemplate)));

BkiUf5Q241xiNk_AZWvh | How do I know what RIW roles I need?
Before organising a RIW card through Pegasus, you need to know what roles and associated competencies you require. Your Rail Operator or head contractor is responsible for giving you this information; Pegasus, who manage the RIW system, don't have visibility into your work requirements and therefore can't tell you what roles you require.
Rail Operator websites identify roles and competencies and any other specific requirements. You can find their details on this page. If you believe you are a third party, you must contact the rail operator for clarification and instruction.
How do I add or remove a company from my profile?
To add or remove an RIW card from an employer, complete the Adding and Removing a Cardholder form. The form has two sections: one for the cardholder to complete and sign, and one for a representative from their employer to complete and sign. This ensures transfers are completed by mutual agreement.
The form can be found on the Qualifications and Documents page.
Once completed, the form may be scanned and emailed to support@onsitetrackeasy.com.au.
A cardholder can also call the RIW team during business hours on 1300 777 245 to have a company added or removed from their profile over the phone. The cardholder must consent to this process and acknowledge that the applicable company is aware of the change. The interaction is recorded by the Pegasus agent and noted in the system.
Can I use my current medical?
Yes, as long as your medical has been completed by an Authorised Rail Medical Provider and it meets the requirements of the role. Some roles require a higher level of medical assessment. Please visit the Qualifications page to see the medical requirements for each Rail Operator.
Do I have to be employed to apply for a Rail Industry Worker card?
Yes, an individual must be associated to a company, or hold their own ABN as a sole trader, to apply for a Rail Industry Worker card.
Yes, the card has a life of 10 years. At the end of this term, you must pay to receive a new card. This cost will include completing the 100 point ID check again, allowing us to capture a new photograph, print a new card and ship it to your nominated address.
If you need a replacement card before the 10 years is up, you can order one for $30 +GST.
RIW card annual subscription renewal costs $30 +GST.
How do I complete the 100 point check?
Once a Rail Industry Worker card has been purchased from the portal, you will be emailed an Australian Post Identity check form which provides all the information required for an identity check. This also includes details on what will be accepted as 100 points (eg. Drivers Licence). This form is to be taken along to a participating Australia Post store where thecheck will be completed and your photo taken for your Rail Industry Worker card. Please note that there is no additional fee required for this check, it is covered in the card purchase fee.
This link provides the locations of all the participating Australia Post Offices. You can also click the 'Make an Appointment' button (once an outlet has been found) to book an appointment time for the processing of an application though this is not mandatory.
Why do I have to be 100 point ID checked?
All contractors must prove their identity to minimise fraud and reduce data duplication.
Who do I contact if I have questions or problems regarding my card application?
Questions should be directed to the rail operator you are working for. See the Contact Us page for more details.
Yes, the Rail Industry Worker card is compulsory across the rail industry. The phased approach currently includes partners listed here.
Where do I register for a card?
Please click on the Register/Login link at the top of this page. This will then direct you to the Rail Industry Worker registration system where you can register and apply for a Rail Industry Worker card.
Under what circumstances can the ARA can make a complaint to ASQA about an RTO?
What happens if I don't have a valid RIW subscription?
If you do not maintain a valid RIW subscription in the system, your data will be unavailable to view and you may be denied access to sites requiring RIW cards.
Initial RIW cards cost $100 + GST per person and are valid for 10 years.
Your subscription must be renewed every year and costs $30 + GST.
I no longer complete some of the work roles that are listed against my card, what should I do?
If the competencies have an expiry date, they will become inactive at that time.
New/amended roles and competencies should be updated by your company administrator through the Rail Industry Worker system (click Register/Login above). The system will advise what new documentation is required.
Are my competencies listed on my card? How does the site I'm working at know I'm competent?
Competencies are not listed on the card. Supervisors and site management can audit your competency several ways, for example, by looking up your Rail Industry Worker ID number in the Onsite system. Because your information is stored securely online, each physical card has a longer expiry date, and expiring competency notifications are provided automatically by email or can be looked up by you online. New competencies can be added by your employer's administrator or by contacting the Rail Industry Worker administrator.
What if I work for more than one company?
Currently, you must nominate one main company to be associated with in the Rail Industry Worker system who can purchase the card on your behalf. The second company can nominate you as a contractor for work with them, as long as competencies that have been uploaded meet the local Accredited Rail Operator requirements.
When was the Rail Industry Worker system launched?
The Rail Industry Worker program was launched was in March 2013.
The system, previously known as Rail Safety Worker, was designed to improve delivery and monitoring of safety, training, competencies and certification for Australian rail workers.
How big can an uploaded file be?
The maximum size file the portal will accept is 2Mb.
Who can assign competencies to my record?
Contractors or their company representative must provide details through the Rail Industry Worker system (click Register/Login at the top of this page). They will then be verified by a Rail Industry Worker administrator.
Who determines the competencies required to work in the rail industry?
Rail Industry Worker provides a cohesive national approach to identify competencies required to work in the rail industry.
What happens if my application is "returned"?
Returned status means you have provided incorrect or incomplete information. In this instance, instructions will be provided on how to resubmit the data with the required information.
What happens if my card application is rejected?
You will be formally notified with details of why your application has not been accepted.
Who do I contact if I have concerns about my competencies, or a competency has been rejected?
In the first instance, contact the card issuing body for further information. Refused applications will be reviewed by the Rail Operator on a case-by-case basis.
How do I add competencies to my profile outside of the initial application process?
If you need to add a competency, or provide updated information on an existing competency, you can do this by logging into the RIW system (click the Register/Login button at the top of this page) and uploading new documentation, or by contacting your Rail Industry Worker administrator.
Please contact a local Registered Training Organisation specialising in rail training for this information.
What documents do I need to provide to get a card?
Please refer to the Qualifications page and review the Required Qualifications, enabling competencies and other qualification details.
What do I do if my documents are expired or not available?
To register as a Rail Industry Worker, all of your documents must be current. If qualifications or competencies have expired, you will need to update the qualification or obtain current copies before uploading them in the system. If documents are not available, contact your Rail Operator for further advice.
Contractors can enter information directly through the portal. Company representatives can also enter information on behalf of contractors.
In the portal, files should be in PDF or JPG format.
What if my Onsite profile name/name on my RIW card is different to that on my certificate/qualification?
If your name on the certificate/qualification (or any other documentation being used as evidence in Onsite) is different than that on your Onsite profile/RIW card, before it's uploaded to your profile in the RIW system, you must have your certificate/qualification OR statutory declaration signed by an 'authorised witness' to confirm you go by both names. Click here to view the full list of authorised witnesses.
I certify that this/these document/s is/are a true copy of the original document/s which I have seen, and sufficient evidence has been provided confirming this person's identity in connection with this/these document/s.
Please note that if providing a statutory declaration, the authorised witness must also list all of the documents which they are verifying.
Competence (or competency) is the ability of an individual to do a job properly. In the Rail Industry Worker System, the term competence refers to a number of requirements including currency, qualification, authorisation, accreditation, certification, validation and re-validation. Certain competencies expire within a nominated time frame, for example medicals, which means a worker needs to be re-assessed.
A qualification or unit of competency issued under the AQTF is also considered a competency. Although most qualifications/units do not expire, for the purposes of the Rail Industry Worker system and the safety critical nature of the roles performed, workers may be required to prove they have maintained the appropriate level of competency against certain units, and a revalidation date will be shown in the system for this purpose. Note: it does not mean the AQTF qualification is no longer recognised.
Competency management is the process of capturing the skills and qualifications of rail workers to ensure a safe workforce.
You can request a new card through the Rail Industry Worker System (select the Register/Login button at the top of this page). Please login, select to manage employees to choose the employee requiring the new card. You can then choose subscription and select to order replacement card. Replacement cards cost $30 + GST.
The old card will be de-activated as part of the replacement process, ensuring it can't be used to access the rail corridor if someone finds it. If you find your card after you have submitted a request for replacement, please discard it as it will no longer be active.

A change of name will only be accepted with suitable documented evidence, e.g. marriage certificate. Some details, like date of birth and photo, cannot be changed as this is identifying information in the system.
All cards will be delivered via regular postage by Australia Post to the address nominated by your company administrator.
The card will be sent to the address provided during the application process.
After you have completed the 100 point ID check, your information will be sent to the Rail Industry Worker team. A RIW administrator will review your competency documentation, and if this information is accepted, your card is approved.
Allow three business days for your RIW card and information to be processed. Your card will then be printed and sent, with delivery times depending on your location. You will be emailed when your card has been sent.
To ensure no delay in processing information and sending cards, ensure you review the Business Rules and upload the correct documents. The processing time of three business days begins again if you need to resubmit information.
What happens if I haven't received my card?
Contact the Pegasus team on 1300 777 245 to discuss the agreed timeframes and options for card delivery.
The up-front cost of the card is $100 ex-GST and must be paid before receiving the card.
Each year there will be a $30 ex-GST renewal and maintenance fee which covers the cost of ongoing changes and updating competencies in the system.
Your renewal date is based on the date the card was purchased, not when the card was printed and sent.
You or your company will be notified one month prior to this date that the fee is due. If you do not pay the maintenance fee, the card will be de-activated until you have paid. This means you will not be able to use your card for proof of competency. Check with the rail operator regarding work arrangements.
Who pays for the Rail Industry Worker Card?
Generally the contracting company will be responsible for payment of contractor cards. Sole traders will register their company details and pay for the card themselves.
Secure online payments are available through the Rail Industry Worker system (click Register/Login above) via credit card, only Visa and MasterCard will be accepted.
How much does it cost to replace a lost, stolen or broken card?
You can request a replacement card through the Rail Industry Worker system (click the Register/Login button at the top of this page). The cost to reprint and ship a card is $30 ex-GST.
All purchases are final. No refund will be provided for cancelled applications or failure to present for Australia Post appointments. For more information, please visit the link to our Terms and Conditions.
What is a card block?
When a rail worker loses authorisation from working in a particular Rail Operator Network or project site.
If the mobile app shows a block, it means a Rail Operator has placed a block on a cardholder due to an incident/s. Incidents can range anywhere from a drug and alcohol or safeworking breach, to not meeting key individual site requirements. Blocks are determined and placed only by the Rail Operator.
Blocks can impact cardholders nationally or only at a specific company or site/s, determined by the Rail Operator.
Principal Contractors (PCs) cannot place blocks, they can only suspend their site-specific roles.
Blocks can occur at a national level across all work sites.
Blocks can occur at all work sites associated with a specific rail transport operator or company.
A suspension is the temporary removal of a RIW's role or competency.
Rail Operator Specific / National Role Suspension – suspended from a specific work site/s in a specific capacity.
Principal Contractor Role Suspension – suspended from the PC role/site.
Other valid reason as determined by the Rail Transport Operator.
Rail Operators should notify cardholders that a block has been placed on them. If a cardholder doesn't believe they were notified, they should contact the Operator that placed the block.
Please note that Pegasus DOES NOT have details on the specific incident or breach.
Why do I have a suspended role?
RIW has contravened a Fatigue Management Program.
Principal Contractors reserve the right to suspend, modify, and reinstate an RIW's site specific role. This means if a contractor is involved in a breach either as a result of an accident, incident or site rule breach then the PC has the right to suspend the RIW from undertaking work from that site only by suspending the site-specific role(s). A PC cannot block or suspend a Rail Transport Operator or National role. If they wish to do so they must contact the relevant Rail Transport Operator.
There is an infringement of any safety rule or regulation.
Blocks are determined and placed only by the Rail Operator.
Pegasus DOES NOT place or remove RIW card blocks.
Who can suspend a role?
A Principal Contractor cannot suspend a Rail Transport Operator or National role. If they wish to do so they must contact the relevant Rail Transport Operator.
Pegasus DOES NOT place or remove role suspensions.
Who can remove the block?
It's the responsibility of the Rail Transport Operator to remove blocks. Pegasus cannot remove a block unless an authorised representative from the Rail Transport Operator requests them to do so.
Who can remove a suspension?
It's the responsibility of the rail operator or principal contractor to remove role suspensions. Pegasus cannot remove a suspension unless an authorised representative from an operator or contractor requests them to do so.
In the first instance, cardholders should contact the site that suspended their role so any requirements or incidents can be resolved. This may require going directly to the operator or contractor who manages the site at which your role was suspended.
If you aren't sure at what level you are blocked, you may call Pegasus on 1300 777 245. Please remember that Pegasus cannot tell you why you have been blocked; only the operator that has placed the block will have those details.
What if I'm being refused work at sites where I'm not blocked?
Sites are responsible for assessing the risks of working with blocked cardholders and may contact the site where a cardholder is blocked for details to complete this risk assessment. This may result in cardholders also being blocked at other sites.
If you would like to dispute a block in this instance, lodge this in writing to the Australasian Railway Association who will aim to mediate a reasonable outcome Please email ara@ara.net.au.
How do I get a login to the RIW system?
You will need to register your company and provide contact details. Please start by selecting Register/Login at the top of the page and follow the process to register your company in the system.
Once your company has been registered and approved by the Rail Industry Worker team, the company contact will receive a login to start registering employees and purchasing cards. If your company has already been registered, you will be directed to contact your company representative who can arrange your access.
The system can email you a new password if you have forgotten or lost yours. Click the recover my password link on the login page to the RIW system, which can be found by following the Register/Login link at the top of this page. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdh45qhLAB45oJhbb | Contract with a Chinese consortium for constriction of Khulna 330 MW dual-fuel combined cycle power plant is going to face termination as the contractor failed to arrange required fund for the project.
According to official sources, the government signed a contract on November 17 in 2016 with the Chinese Consortium of Harbin Electric International Co. Ltd. (HEI), and Jiangsu Etern Co. Ltd., to set up the plant's simple cycle unit within 15 months (450 days) and combined cycle unit within 30 months (900 days).
Nineteen months passed by but, no progress has been made in implementation of the project as the bidder failed to arrange the required fund from the Chinese bank.
Officials said the total cost of the project is about $400 million, equivalent to Tk 3,253 crore. Of this, the Chinese Exim Bank was supposed to provide $304 million, equivalent to Tk 2370 crore, which shares 85 percent of the turnkey contract cost.
As per the contract with the government, the bidder will have to arrange at least 85 per cent of the turnkey contract amount by its own initiative. The remaining Tk 1,240 crore will be financed by the Bangladesh government.
But in last 19 months, nothing but a draft loan agreement was made ready by the bidder in getting the required loan.
The issue of the Chinese bidder's failure was widely discussed in a review meeting of the Power Division last month.
The meeting, presided over by the state minister for power and energy Nasrul Hamid, decided to terminate the contract with Chinese consortium if it failed to arrange the Chinese Exim Bank's promised loan of $281 million within 2 months.
Following the decision of the meeting, the state-owned Power Development Board sent a letter to the Chinese consortium giving 10 days' time to ensure the financing of the project by making the project's financial closing within June 20.
'But so far we don't have any information that can suggest the Harbin- Jiangsu consortium will be able to make the financial closing by June 20', said project director Jotirmoy Halder.
He said once the given deadline is over, the things will be communicated to the higher authority for final action against the Chinese bidder.
It was learnt that the Exim Bank sent a draft loan agreement which the Bangladesh government approved with some amendments and sent it back to the Exim Bank.
The PDB also sent a letter to the bidder consortium to execute the loan agreement as per amendments. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUcx7xK6-gD0Src232 | As I recall it, the reason that Central Divinity Wong Chung Yeung convened the Mt. Hua Sword Tournament in the first place was to determine what should be done about the 9 Yum Jen Ging. He already had possession of it, but he knew that it didn't really *belong* to him. He wanted to settle the matter of its ownership in a way that would be in accordance with wulin rules.
Why not make many many copies and give a copy to each great so they won't go after one another over the manuals.
Printing presses weren't invented yet. Copying the manuscripts or using manual prints would have been prohibitively time- and labor-consuming.
Moreover, the wulin cultural norm was to keep elite martial arts exclusive, not propagate them among the masses.
I've made some adjustments this week to the details and dates of various events.
I extended the period for the series of events from Yeung Gor's initial departure from the Ancient Tomb to the beginning of Little Dragon Girl's self-exile to two years; it didn't seem to make sense that all those events took place in the time frame of a single year.
Good time line. I'm enjoying to read this thread.

BkiUfK3xK2li-F6Jzxts | SAN JUAN, PR – November 7, 2017 – Award-winning actor, composer and lyricist Lin-Manuel Miranda, in conjunction with the Hispanic Federation, today announced that the organization is taking applications for a $2.5 million fund to seed innovative nonprofit projects that aim to build a stronger and more resilient Puerto Rico from island-based groups. The first seven grant recipients include: Beta Local, Centro de Microempresas y Tecnologías Agrícolas de Yauco (CMTAS), Centros Sor Isolina Ferre (CSIF), The ENLACE Caño Martin Peña Project, Para la Naturaleza, Programa de Educación Comunal de Entrega y Servicio, Inc. (PECES), and Protectores de Cuencas Inc.
The fund, called "Amanece / Road to Recovery," is focused on building island infrastructure which is durable, sustainable and self-sufficient. The project's mission is to fund innovative projects with a long-term vision for the recovery and rebuilding of the island and its communities, emphasizing local input and coordination. Nonprofit projects can focus on strengthening "hard" infrastructure (housing, energy, communications), as well as supporting and strengthening community empowerment.
In a press conference held in San Juan, PR, Hispanic Federation and Miranda announced the first seven Amanece grantees, all which are planning cutting-edge projects encompassing microenterprise, housing, arts and culture, and conservation efforts, among others. In addition to announcing the first grantees, they made a call for Puerto Rico's nonprofit organizations to submit applications to become the next to receive funding.
Hispanic Federation estimates that a minimum of 25 grants – ranging from $50,000 - $100,000 – will be awarded for recovery and rebuilding efforts. If needed, up to 25 percent of any one grant can be allocated for continued emergency relief efforts, focusing on food, water shelter, or on temporarily increasing capacity to serve an expanded client population. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis as long as funding lasts.
Eligible organizations must be nonprofit organizations with a functioning board of directors; headquarters based in the territory of Puerto Rico, Culebra or Vieques; a demonstrated track record in the communities served, and back-to-back audited financial forms for the two most recent fiscal years. Hispanic Federation will fund organizations in all areas of Puerto Rico, focusing especially on remote, impoverished and hard-hit communities and regions.
For more information about this grant opportunity please contact Fernando Aguilar at faguilar@hispanicfederation.org.
Beta-Local - Beta Local is an artist-run 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2009, dedicated to supporting and promoting critical thought and aesthetic practices in Puerto Rico through programs that foster knowledge exchange and trans-disciplinary collaboration. These programs include a research and production program for artists, an international residency program, and an experimental pedagogical platform through which anyone can initiate a workshop, conference, encounter study group or other knowledge exchange.
Beta-Local plans to re-grant Hispanic Federation funds to individual artists, cultural agents, and independent spaces. With conditions to continue operating local arts initiatives more precarious than ever, Beta-Local is committed to redoubling efforts to support Puerto Rico's cultural class. Artists, work spaces and cultural agents will be able to apply for $500 to $15,000 in grant funding, with the money used for a wide variety of needs, including loss of income, damage to infrastructure, rent of shared work spaces and workshops, and the continuation of projects existing pre-Hurricane Maria.
CMTAS - The mission of the Centro de Microempresas y Tecnologías Agrícolas de Yauco (CMTAS) is to create and maintain agricultural microbusinesses in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas. It does so by offering education and training in sustainable agriculture using a microenterprise approach. The goal of CMTAS is to contribute to the economic development and social strengthening of local communities. CMTAS' vision is to create a replicable community development model by being a change agent which not only facilitates adoption of renewable energy and food security systems, but helps individuals develop self-esteem within the context of the family structure.
CMTAS will repair and establish several steel structures for the cultivation of vegetables and raising of poultry for egg and meat production. Vegetable cultivation includes the raising of aromatic plants and medicinal plants. Poultry breeding includes the construction of sheds for raising free range chicken that can provide healthy fresh eggs and meat for sale in communities, such as whole broiled chickens. CMTAS will also launch community agricultural microenterprises for their economic empowerment. In addition, they will build a well of water between 200 and 250 feet of depth in the facilities of the School of CMTAS, with the purpose of providing filtered and chlorinated pure water that is free of pathogens. This will provide a source of safe and healthy water to nearby rural populations that will serve for cooking food and water intakes for hydration.
Centros Sor Isolina Ferre (CSIF) – Centros Sor Isolina Ferré is a non-profit organization based in La Playa, Ponce that promotes full development of the human being with justice, dignity, respect, and love. The institution uses effective models of advocacy, education, training, technology, and self-management to positively impact the lives of over 37,000 people. It offers solutions to Puerto Rico's major social problems through community empowerment and development initiatives, including preventive and corrective programs.
CSIF proposes a partnership with Hispanic Federation to rebuild houses which partially or completely lost their roofing. With a $100,000 grant from Hispanic Federation, CSIF will use their initial assessment to identify at least eight (8) houses that need to repair or rebuild damaged or lost roofs, giving families an opportunity to stay in their homes and live in the communities where they belong.
Enlace / G-8 - The ENLACE Caño Martin Peña Project (ENLACE Project) is an innovative environmental justice and social transformation initiative that pursues a livable, inclusive and resilient city through the ecosystem restoration of an estuarine channel in the heart of San Juan. The main purpose of G8 is to secure the permanence of the communities that surround the channel, in light of the proposed Development Plan for the entire district of Caño Martin Peña.
Techos para el Caño (Roofs for the Caño) is a housing initiative aimed towards transitioning from the wide-spread use of tarps as temporary roofs to more permanent housing solutions. It will focus on families living in homes which were rendered partially or completely uninhabitable. The new roofs will be made with traditional materials, such as wood and zinc, with the appropriate design, installation, and anchoring so that they can better resist future storms. The overarching goal is to ensure that residents can regain a sense of normalcy and resume their lives as quickly as possible.
Para la Naturaleza - Para la Naturaleza brings together people who seek a sustainable future for Puerto Rico. A 501(c)3 nonprofit, its goal is to ensure that 33 percent of natural areas in Puerto Rico are protected by the year 2033. Para la Naturaleza does so by providing transformative nature experiences that inspires individuals to take concrete action to protect more than 50 ecological areas throughout Puerto Rico. In response to Hurricane Maria, Para La Naturaleza has created the Community for Nature Fund, which directly assists affected communities, as well as promotes agro-ecology, reforestation, and restoration of natural habitats.
With the support of the Hispanic Federation, Para la Naturaleza will outfit two community centers with water filtration systems, solar panels and storage batteries, creating sustainable models for future replication throughout the island. The group will also provide local farmers with subgrants to help pay for costs (including equipment and supplies) associated with implementing agro-ecological practices. Finally, Para La Naturaleza will complete a tree nursery needs assessment to assess the program's capacity to ability to increase production of tree stock to be replanted throughout the island.
PECES - Programa de Educación Comunal de Entrega y Servicio, or PECES, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that promotes the social, economic and educational development of marginalized communities. Based in Punta Santiago, Humacao, over the years PECES have extended its services to the eastern region of Puerto Rico. Since its founding in 1985, PECES' mission has been to encourage the development of leaders which are capable of catalyzing the development of their own communities, with an emphasis on young people. As a measure of its accomplishment, PECES and its staff were awarded the Tina Hills Prize, the highest award to nonprofit organizations given in Puerto Rico.
PECES will launch key sustainability projects, including energy production through solar panels or other renewable sources, promotion of alternative drinking water systems, and a housing rehabilitation initiative. These projects emphasize sustainable and self-sufficient community development in order to lessen government dependence. PECES will also catalyze community-based microenterprises by offering technical assistance support, and guidance with financing or consulting services, thus helping to boast the local economy.
Protectores de Cuencas – Protectores de Cuencas, Inc. is a science and community based nonprofit organization that aims to restore and protect watersheds across the archipelago of Puerto Rico. They maintain a growing and collaborative interagency support network which includes Puerto Rico's state and municipal government entities, as well as federal agencies. Protectores has extensive experience implementing conservation practices on agricultural and non-agricultural natural resources, as well as experience in implementing interagency agreements which prioritize interagency collaboration and foster community involvement.
Protectores de Cuencas will restore urban and community forests by implementing a reforestation plan which will plant 10,000 native trees within seven Puerto Rican municipalities over a one-year period. The organization will identify communities with the greatest reforestation needs, focusing on urban and community areas. Targeted areas include urban forests, public parks, and town squares in the southwest region, central mountain region (cordillera central), and the island municipality of Culebra.

BkiUdfM4eILhQLGUUtS3 | Finite State Machines might be something that all developers might have heard at least once in their few years starting game development in Unity.
What is a Finite State Machine anyway? Well, there is a lot to cover that is why we're going to do at least 3 parts. Basically, a Finite State Machine (or FSM) is a design pattern where automation comes in play. Commonly used in AI implementations for certain behaviours. Ie: Walking, Attacking, Idling, etc. FSM can be also implemented in NPCs and is most common in Open World RPGs.
Now, the overseer checks the state of an AI. Depending on the state, the AI will react on it. Also, depending on the type of an AI (whether it is a flying type, or ground type, or swimming type) is the action that the AI will make. In this scenario, FSM tells the AI that he is in the "Patrol State", and will tell the AI to "Walk from A to B". Unless that there's a change in state, the AI will only walk from A to B.
To change state, first we must have a condition. In the image on the left, the AI sees the player, and tells the overseer. Now the overseer will change the AI's state, and will start attacking.
Again, the AI starts to patrol again since the player is not in his line of sight.
As seen in these poorly made drawings, every state has their conditions before changing to other states.
Here is a diagram of states of a normal AI. Red lines represents false on the condition that is required to change in state. The diagram is pretty straight forward. The AI will be on Idle State if it reaches its destination, and vice versa. If he sees an enemy, it will start to attack. The FSM now handles all transitions between states and helps the AI do the action that is available for that state.
Now let's break down our FSM System.
Main FSM System – This is will be the one who will control the AI's states and checks if the conditions between states. The Main FSM will contain all the states, and will handle the event calls from the FSM Actions.
FSM State – This determines the current state of the AI and contains all the actions that is placed on the AI.
FSM Action – This will be the action that the AI will do when the AI is in a specific state.
Now how will we do it? Let's map everything out.
This will be the loop of our FSM. First we initialize the FSM, create states, create actions, and map them all together. After we have mapped them, we will now start the FSM and indicate the state that the AI will start to. Now, the AI will change to a specific state, and the FSM will initialize the action, update it until it the action finishes and sends an event indicating that the action is finished. Finally, the FSM will go back and change the state.
Another thing that will cause a change of state is when an event is called outside the AI's logic. Like when we create a commander and tells all the soldiers to stop moving.
This ends the first part of our FSM tutorial. I hope that I've explained FSM well to you. If you still don't get it, probably you'll need to see everything in action first, and see scan everything for yourself. That's how I learned it.
On the next part, we will first discuss again some simple real life FSM implementations, and we will start scripting our whole FSM Engine from scratch! | c4 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUgL_xK7IDBqEWV7vB | Q: FFmpeg gap in concatenated audio after splitting audio Not sure if it's a gap or just misaligned audio samples, but when i split an audio file in two, like this:
ffmpeg -ss 0 -t 00:00:15.00 -i song.mp3 seg1.mp3
and
ffmpeg -ss 00:00:15.00 -t 15 -i song.mp3 seg2.mp3
and then combine them again with concat filter:
ffmpeg -i 'concat:seg1.mp3|seg2.mp3' out.mp3
There is a distinct "pop" between the segments. How can i make this seamless?
I see this on seg2.mp3:
Duration: 00:00:15.05, start: 0.025057, bitrate: 128 kb/s
Stream #0:0: Audio: mp3, 44100 Hz, stereo, s16p, 128 kb/s
Why is "start" not 0? That could be the gap.
A: If you want to eliminate the gap I recommend using the atrim and concat filters:
ffmpeg -i input -filter_complex \
"[0:a]atrim=end=15[a0]; \
[0:a]atrim=start=15:end=30[a1]; \
[a0][a1]concat=n=2:v=0:a=1" \
output.mp3
Note that MP3 files may have silence/delay at the beginning and end, so using individually encoded segments is not ideal.

The 10 Most Important Features of Windows 10
While Windows 10 still isn't complete, there are already a number of exciting features available as part of its preview.
Here are 10 of the most exciting features we've seen so far.
Windowed Metro Apps
The Metro apps from Windows 8 are still around, but they've been tweaked to better fit desktop sensibilities. Metro apps now open in a desktop window instead of bringing you into a full-screen app, and they now include a toolbar that can be navigated with your mouse.
Windows 10 has been formatted to better fit touchscreen devices. The Continuum feature allows users to switch between desktop mode and a style similar to Windows 8 built for mobile devices. Hybrid devices will alternate between both modes depending on if the user has attached a keyboard. While in tablet mode the Start menu expands to fit the full screen. The Action Center has a button called Tablet Mode which will allow you to switch the feature off or on.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_O-LrGL-YQ]
Action Center Notifications
This is incredibly valuable for both business and personal uses. Action Center is a basecamp of useful information, and as your reminders come in, they're all archived here.
Cortana is a search function first implemented on Windows Phone 8.1. It uses your personal information in conjunction with Bing-powered cloud smarts to find info you're looking for. Cortana can schedule a reminder, set alarms, check your calendar, call a contact, compare stocks, and much more. It responds to either typed or voice commands.
The Xbox app first displays your activity feed which features the activities of all your Xbox Live friends. The right side of the app displays a friends list, and selecting one gives you the opportunity to view clips of their games or send an instant message. In addition, you can see a list of your own achievements and edit your profile.
Solidified Settings
Windows 10 gives you one easy-to-navigate Settings menu, available as soon as you click the Start button. They've done away with the strangely designed separate Settings menus of Windows 8.
The Start Menu
The improved functionality of the new Windows 10 Start menu leaves its appearance up to you. It provides the option to turn off Windows 8-style Live Tiles, and you can unpin or resize all of the Metro apps. You also have the option to expand the menu to full screen.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfHLJtxNgfk]
File Explorer's Home Folder
Not only do the icons feature a new look, but to help you save time Windows has arranged files by recently accessed folders and your most frequently visited locations.
Boot to Desktop
Start Page is gone, and with Windows 10 you are launched automatically to desktop.
This setup lets you switch between either apps or "Desktops" of apps which can be organized any way you choose. Virtual Desktops make it so that you always know where things are.

BkiUa9o4eIfiUUIxjKvd | In a recent paper Christopher Sheil of the University of NS Wales talked about editors of the Australian Financial Review being "PPPed out". He went on to say that that it may be a deliberate strategy, by supporters of PPP, to make the topic so complicated and boring that raising public awareness of the implications of PPP will be an uphill struggle.
This paper is only a brief description of how new roads are financed and built now; what PPP (Public Private Partnership) is all about; the pros and cons of PPP; which current roading projects are candidates for PPPing and some proposals.
How are roads built now?
The public sector raises the money either directly from taxes/rates or borrowing, organises the design and construction contracts and operates the road after construction.
Raising the funds – public sector.
Project design – private consultants under contract to the public sector.
Project construction – private civil engineering firms under contract to the public sector.
Operation – public sector; but all road maintenance, which is the vast bulk of the expenditure, is carried out under contract by private firms.
PPP – Public Private Partnership.
PFI – Private Funding Initiative.
DBFO – Design, Build, Fund and Operate.
BOOT – Build Own Operate Transfer.
For simplicity I will refer to the process as PPP (Public Private Partnership). PFI, DBFO and BOOT are in most respects just another name for the same process.
So what is PPP for a new road? A consortium of bankers, design consultants and civil engineering contractors are granted a concession to raise the capital from the private sector, do the design, build the road, own and operate it for 30 years. The consortium receives income over the 30-year period by either levying tolls, or from payments from the public sector or a combination of both. At the end of the 30 years the road is handed back to the public sector at no charge.
This is a simplified model of PPP but it fits most circumstances and can be applied to similar infrastructure projects.
Why consider changing to PPP?
The public sector is relieved of the responsibility of raising the capital.
Financial risk is transferred from the public sector to the private sector.
The public sector gets rid of the overall responsibility for organising the whole process.
The belief that offering the private sector complete packages will result in better and cheaper solutions.
Value for money. The public sector can always borrow money at lower interest rates than the private sector. It costs the private sector about 50% more in interest payments than the public sector. Added to this are the consortium's profits and the high costs associated in organising the financial arrangements of the concession. The public sector may not be borrowing money but the public will pay a lot more back to the consortium because of these extra costs, through tolls and public sector payments, than it would do with a straightforward public sector loan. An article in the NZ Herald on 5th November by the CEO of Fletcher Construction warned of the legal complexities and high bidding costs with PPP.
Transfer of financial risk. The risk is in the uncertainty of design and construction costs and the reliability of the tolling income stream. All these risks and uncertainties are built into the consortium's pricing model and are reflected in the required income stream calculations. If the consortium falls over during the concession period who do you think picks up the pieces? In effect there is no transfer of risk; it all remains with the public sector.
Responsibility and accountability. The concession allows the public sector to distance itself from the process of designing, building, owning and operating the road and need no longer be directly answerable to the public for the impacts of the project and its future operation. Considering the length of the concession, governments can even blame former incumbents twice and three times removed for their current problems! The catch phrase "Don't blame us. We are locked into this arrangement for 30 years" may become a constant refrain if PPP gets the go ahead.
The complete package approach. The principle is that the private sector will, given its head, always perform better than the public sector. PPP supporters, whilst accepting the extra costs of raising private loans and the extra legal costs of forming the consortium, claim this will be more than offset by smarter private sector solutions. There is no consensus that this is true and there are strong feelings that methods developed in the UK to measure savings do not compare like with like. The results of a questionnaire conducted and published by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants in the UK and issued in September this year revealed that public sector accountants do not generally believe that PPP provides value for money to the public sector.
The word "partnership" has a certain ring to it implying the coming together of the brightest and best in the public and private sector. The new ingredients with PPP are bankers and more lawyers…!
Likely road projects for PPP treatment?
There are not too many. No project under $100m is likely to interest the private sector and the preference is for those schemes which produce a high element of toll revenue in the income stream. Only 2 projects have been identified as possible candidates so far: Takitimu Drive to Tasman Quay Bridge in Tauranga and the extension of the Auckland northern motorway around Orewa to Puhoi (ALPURT B2) including Penlink on the Whangaparaoa Peninsula. It is unlikely that the private sector would wish to become embroiled in PPP for most of the projects in and around Auckland; too complicated and not suitable for tolling. What about Transmission Gully (Wellington)? The current cost estimate is years out of date and so is far too low. And there are doubts that traffic, particularly trucks, would find it sufficiently attractive to transfer from the existing route.
Participate in the PPP debate and expose the flaws in the whole PPP argument.
Actively oppose any PPP proposals for particular projects.
Question the principle that building roads is the primary and long-term answer to transport problems.
Encourage rational debate which seeks solutions based on sustainable resource input.
Question the amount and balance of public sector funding for the various modes of transport (cars, public transport, trucks, trains etc).
Push for a fully integrated national transport policy. | c4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 5 |

BkiUdbU4eIXh70-IxXR5 | The Black Hills of South Dakota are about so much more than Mount Rushmore! Explore scenic drives, free-roaming wildlife, downtown festivals, and more.
The Black Hills of South Dakota are perhaps best known for those famous presidential faces carved into the side of a mountain. While there's no doubt that Mount Rushmore is a must visit attraction, if that's all you see during your Black Hills visit, then you are seriously missing out!
From underground caves, historic trains, scenic drives, spooky cemeteries, and even herds of free-roaming buffalo, the Black Hills truly has something for everyone.
Covering 73,000 acres, Custer State Park is one of the largest state parks in the country. From the northern section that lies in the shadow of Harney Peak, to the forest, meadows, and prairies of its southeast corner, Custer State Park is as diverse as it is beautiful.
Established as a game preserve in 1913, Custer State Park is currently home to a herd of about 1,300 free-roaming American buffalo. A leisurely drive on the scenic Wildlife Loop Road offers a close encounter with these majestic beasts. If you're lucky you might also see elk, white-tail and mule deer, big horn sheep, mountain goats, pronghorn and prairie dogs.
While the wildlife may be the main attraction, Custer State Park has so much more to offer – there's hiking, biking, boating, swimming, or simply relaxing at one of the nine campgrounds inside the park.
Visitors have been coming to the D.C. Booth Fish Hatchery for more than 100 years to enjoy the park-like setting, feed the fish, watch them swim behind huge underwater windows, and learn about fish culture and resource management.
Originally constructed to stock trout populations in the Black Hills, today the hatchery serves as a living fishery museum with a cultural heritage center, a replica "Fish Car" train, and of course, thousands of fish to watch and feed.
Explore below the surface at two unique caves in the Black Hills. The Wind Cave National Park is well known for its extensive Boxwork formations and seemingly endless maze of underground passages.
Jewel Cave is the third longest cave in the world and is renowned for the millions of shimmering crystals that line the cave walls. Both caves are part of the national park system and open for a variety of tours.
A wine region in the Black Hills? Absolutely! With the perfect climate for growing crab apples, chokecherries, rhubarb, buffalo berries, and wild plums alongside grape varieties that thrive in the northern plains climate, the Black Hills are ripe with unique regional wines.
Hop on Hwy 385 to follow the Black Hills Wine Trail. This scenic route connects Hill City's Prairie Berry Winery, Naked Winery and Stone Faces Winery to Belle Joli Winery and Schade Winery.
The 50-mile drive passes through forests and meadow while providing spectacular roadside views of Pactola Reservoir and Sheridan Lake.
There's no shortage of fun things to do in downtown Rapid City. Pose with life-size statues on the City of Presidents walk, admire Smithsonian-worthy Native American art at Prairie Edge Trading Company and Galleries, or splash in the fountains at Main Street Square.
With year round activities including a free summer concert series, a pumpkin festival, an annual kid's carnival, and even ice skating in the winter months, Rapid City offers up year-round entertainment.
The Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway is a stunning 19-mile cruise through an ancient canyon filled with towering limestone walls and dense deciduous forest. The road follows Spearfish Creek past the historic Homestake Gold Mine and multiple waterfalls.
Don't forget to stop and stretch your legs. The hiking options are numerous in the canyon with several pullouts along the route offering access to trails that trek through wide open prairies and forests.
Since 1948, a massive sculpture has been slowly emerging from a mountain in the Black Hills. Currently, only the face of Crazy Horse is recognizable while the rest of his head, chest and arms – as well as the mighty horse he rides – are still somewhere inside the mountain waiting to be carved.
Once complete, this tribute to the Lakota leader will be the largest mountain carving in the world. Visitors can view the work in progress, while touring the on-site Indian Museum of North America and the Native American Educational & Cultural Center.
Hop aboard a vintage steam train for a two hour ride through the Black Hills. Chug along on the 1880 steam engine past Harney Peak, Indian Cliffs, Old Baldy Mountain and more on this round-trip journey between the towns of Keystone and Hill City.
Located in Custer State Park, this 14-mile scenic drive twists and turns through some of the most fantastic scenery in the Black Hills. The route winds around high granite rock "needles", through rock tunnels, rock spires, and a unique rock formation called the Needle's Eye, named for the small opening created by wind, rain, freezing and thawing.
Deadwood's historic cemetery includes such notorious figures as Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane. Take an entertaining bus tour to the cemetery perched atop a plateau overlooking Deadwood Gulch. This late Victorian cemetery includes multiple sections and features interesting headstones and carvings. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

Necessary CauseOne that must be present for the effect to occur. Combustion is necessary to drive a gasoline engine.Sufficient CauseOne that can produce an effect unaided, though there may be more than one sufficient cause of a given effect.A dead battery is enough to keep a car from starting, but faulty spark plugs or an empty gas tank will have the same effect.Contributory CauseOne that helps to produce an effect but cannot do so by itself.Running a red light might help to cause an accident- although other factors such as pedestrians and other cars- must also be present.
Important Questions to AskHave I assumed only one cause when many causes may be appropriate?Have I incorrectly assumed a causal relationship between two events that immediately follow each other?Did I distinguish between long-term and short-term causes and effects.

Affording Austin

EDITOR'S NOTE: One of five final projects the Spring 2013 Data Visualization class for the University of Texas School of Journalism

Austin is booming. The population grew 37 percent in the decade ending in 2010. It ranks as one of the fastest growing cities in the country, regularly topping "Best of" lists for events such as SXSW, Austin City Limits Music Festival and F-1 racing. And, Austin fared better than most of the nation throughout the recession that started in 2008 – in February (the most recent statistics available) the unemployment rate was a mere 5.4 percent compared 7.7 percent for the nation as a whole.
If that's not enough evidence to convince you, just take a look at the skyline. Big developments dot the landscape and construction cranes dot the horizon. And the real estate market is on fire. Austin's median home price reached $220,000 in March 2013, the highest ever, according to data from the Austin Board of Realtors.
But all that glitters is not necessarily gold. That same real estate boom has priced many families out of the market. And it's not just home prices. Rental prices have climbed steadily for the past 12 months.
Tableau project missing for some reason
Steven Tamayo is a Social Work major at the University of Texas at Austin. He rents a one-bedroom at The Axis in the West Campus neighborhood. It normally would have cost $1,200 a month. But his financial aid package qualified him for the SMART program – a developer incentive to incorporate affordable housing into mixed use housing units. He pays just $799.
Currently, there are no requirements that developers include affordable housing in their plans, but there are incentives. The City of Austin's SMART Housing Policy provides fee waivers to developers who meet the policy's standards, among them providing affordable housing options for low and moderate income families. "SMART" is an acronym for "Safe, Mixed-income, Accessible, Reasonably-priced, Transit-oriented."
"Whenever I found out I was going to be able to pay rent that was significantly cheaper than what it was supposed to be I just took it and ran with it," Tamayo said.
"Finding affordable housing stock has been a challenge for this city for a decade," said Paul Hilgers the President of the Austin Board of Realtors. "It's a huge issue for every urban community but now with the demand we have it's really a huge issue for Austin."
The city's skyrocketing housing prices are simply a matter of supply and demand, Hilgers said. "There are challenges, that continue to and obstacles to affordability that when compounded with the market, make it very difficult for housing to be built."
Austin currently has a limited supply of affordable housing available to lower income families and individuals. And it's not clear whether the city will boost that any time soon. Last November, Austin voters did not approve a bond proposal that would have built new housing units within Austin's city limits. Prop 15 was the only one of 18 ballot proposals that did not pass.
Affordable housing advocates are preparing a revised proposal for this November. Although the details aren't yet finalized, it's likely that a bond measure would include similar provisions to the last, which the City of Austin's website says included money to fund development of affordable rental housing, preserve existing affordable housing and develop transitional housing for the homeless.
"Austin has gone through tremendous growth but part of that growth has meant there are fewer options for lower income families," said Elliot McFadden, the manager of a pro-bond group called Keep Austin Affordable. "We see housing bonds as a critical part of creating more of that kind of housing and helping those folks stay in Austin."
McFadden said a new affordable housing bond would have both home ownership and rental components, geared to serve families making half or less of Austin's average income. For a family of four that would be about $39,000 per year, he said. The bond's home ownership component would fund home repair programs for seniors, the disabled and fixed-income individuals. It also would go toward so-called "land banks", which are plots of land purchased by groups such as Habitat for Humanity that will eventually be used to help low-income individuals purchase a home.

The Austin Board of Realtors is waiting to see the revised ballot language before it makes a decision to support a bond proposal this November, according to Board president Paul Hilgers.
In a city that has historically and politically opposed both density and sprawl, Hilgers said, developers are facing the complex problem of meeting marketplace demands while finding ways to meet the city's need for affordable housing.
"[Voters] want to protect their neighborhood's character," Hilgers said. "In many cases that means they are fine with affordable housing as long as it's not in their neighborhood."
Because of these competing interests, the eventual solution will have to be one that is multifaceted, he said.
Keep Austin Affordable's Elliott McFadden agrees. "Certainly housing bonds are not the only solution, but they are a good part of the solution," he said.
Both also agree affordability is critical to the city's long-term health. As Hilgers put it, "it impacts our transportation system, our air quality, our education system, our educational system, our healthcare system. Having good safe decent affordable housing is a critical component for any community's sustainability."

BkiUbpA5qoYDgY37zf0O | Malczów (niem. Maltschawe) – wieś w Polsce położona w województwie dolnośląskim, w powiecie trzebnickim, w gminie Trzebnica.
Podział administracyjny
W latach 1975–1998 miejscowość administracyjnie należała do województwa wrocławskiego.
Nazwa
Według Heinricha Adamy'ego nazwa miejscowości pochodzi od polskiej nazwy określającej niedużą wielkość - słowa "mały". W swoim dziele o nazwach miejscowych na Śląsku wydanym w 1888 roku we Wrocławiu jako starszą od niemieckiej wymienia on nazwę w staropolskiej formie - Malczaw podając jej znaczenie "Sehr kleiner Ort" czyli po polsku "bardzo małe osiedle". Niemcy zgermanizowali nazwę na Maltschawe w wyniku czego utraciła ona swoje pierwotne znaczenie.
Demografia
Według Narodowego Spisu Powszechnego (III 2011 r.) liczył 71 mieszkańców. Jest najmniejszą miejscowością gminy Trzebnica.

Can I claim for Business Interruption Insurance as a consequence of Covid?
In the early stages of Covid-19 many businesses contacted their insurers to see whether they had business interruption cover that would provide at least some compensation to them. In many cases insurers declined cover.
To seek clarity across as many cases as possible as to whether cover should have been granted, the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") brought test case proceedings to determine coverage issues. Judgment has now been handed down by the High Court. Permission has been given for the case to bypass the Court of Appeal and will now proceed on an expedited basis to the Supreme Court – to deliver the final word.
In the meantime, what was the approach taken by the High Court? Was the approach adopted in favour of businesses that seek cover, or in favour of insurers?
The policy wordings that were considered fell into three main categories relating to non-damage BI cover:
Disease wordings which provide cover for BI resulting from a notifiable disease, ordinarily within a specified radius of the insured premises;
Prevention of access which provide cover where a business cannot access its premises as a result of government or other restrictions; and
Hybrid wording which are a blend of the disease and prevention of access clauses.
The insurers argued that cover was only provided for a local occurrence of a notifiable disease and if there was a wider spread (as there has been with Covid-19) then only the local outbreak and its effects on the business would be covered and only where they could be separated out from the wider effects.
The FCA argued that local outbreaks were indivisible from the wider effects and that the requirement of proximity to the business would be satisfied as a result. Alternatively, that Covid-19 was so widespread there were many different effective causes.
Following consideration of various factors the Court favoured the FCA's approach. Obviously this is promising for businesses that have had claims refused or held up, pending the outcome of the test case.
Prevention of Access
The Court construed the prevention of access clauses more restrictively that the majority of the disease clauses. It is likely that the availability of cover will depend on the exact terms of each individual policy. In general terms, this cover is intended to provide cover for an event happening in a local area at a particular time, as opposed to a national 'lockdown' arising from a pandemic.
For cover to apply under these clauses it is likely that access would have to have been prevented in response to a localised occurrence of the disease and the general lockdown provisions that were imposed across England and Wales in response to the pandemic would not suffice. This conclusion was more 'insurer friendly'.
In light of the above, as may be expected a close examination of any hybrid clauses is required. The court adopted a 'disease' approach to these clauses as above, but required there to be a mandatory restriction or prevention in respect of the prevention of access element.
Although it is clear the High Court's approach will not provide an open door for all types of BI claims, it ought to assist in clarifying the position and encouraging successful claims, particularly under notifiable disease clauses. Notwithstanding this, each policy, and its wording, should be considered carefully against the judgment to understand the implications and likelihood of a successful claim.
Of course, it will be open to the Supreme Court to decide whether or not to adopt the approach of the High Court or to come up with an alternative approach. It is likely that this hearing will take place this year, though for many businesses there will still be uncertainty in the meantime.

Alton netter Lydia Criveau has climbed to the top
AHS senior Lydia Criveau hasclimbed her way to team captain
Pete Hayes, phayes@thetelegraph.com
Updated 4:05 pm CDT, Wednesday, October 7, 2020
Alton's Lydia Criveau has climbed from junior varsity as a freshman to No. 1 singles and team captain as a senior. She's focusing on the Southwestern Conference Tournament, the postseason and playing college tennis next year.
Alton's Lydia Criveau has climbed from junior varsity as a freshman to No. 1 singles and team captain as a senior. She's focusing on the Southwestern Conference Tournament, the postseason and playing
GODFREY — From scratching and clawing her way onto the team as a freshman to playing No. 1 singles and being named team captain as a senior, Alton's Lydia Criveau has come a long way in a relatively short time.
And now she's eyeing the postseason and examining places to play college tennis next year.
"I think I had to work harder than the other girls to make the team and move up," Criveau said. "I started playing tennis later than a lot of them, plus I'm overweight."
All that aside, Criveau's work ethic, her results and her leadership abilities caught the eye of Alton tennis coach Jesse Macias.
"Lydia worked hard every offseason," Macias said, "and went from playing junior varsity her freshman year to lower varsity as a sophomore, No. 6 as a junior and No. 1 singles this year."
Criveau is a three-year varsity letter winner for the Redbirds, was third-team All-Southwestern Conference last season in doubles and was third-team SWC Academic All-Conference last season. She is a team captain and was 14-13 in 02 heading into Wednesday's SWC match against Belleville West.
And to think it all almost never got started, much less would end up as it has.
"Lydia's freshman year, she missed the first few practices because she wasn't aware the season had started," Macias said. "I was't going to keep her on the team because she had missed tryouts, but our assistant coach, Linda Scheiter, wanted to give her a chance.
"I'm really glad I listened to Linda."
So is Criveau, who said she started okaying tennis as an eighth-grader to spend more time with her father, Jason Criveau.
"I got interested because my dad was into tennis," she said. "It kind of caught on from there. I liked playing tennis and I really wanted to be on the high school team."
After ironing out that early schedule misunderstanding with Macias, Criveau went about earning her way onto the team.
"I'm really glad I was able to stick with it and that Istayed with it," she said
Criveau climbed her way up the ladder from junior varsity her freshman season to a lower-ranked varsity player as a sophomore. She made her first big jump last year as a junior when she made it up to No. 6 singles.
Then came the leap to No. 1 this season.
The Redbirds utilize rank challenge matches to earn their spots in the lineup. For Criveau, that meant beating out two returnees from last season for the No. 1 singles spot.
And she did.
"If you beat them, you earn their spot," Criveau said. "After we had the rank matches, (Macias) asked me if I wanted to play No. 1 singles."
The answer was a profound yes, of course.
"We need more girls dedicating themselves in the offseason," Macias said, " because she shows what it takes to be a great tennis player."
Criveau takes seriously her role as team captain.
"I feel like everyone looks up to me," she said. "Ever since my freshman yer, I always looked up to the older team leaders. I take it seriously. Our team is like a family."
Criveau is part of a reboot for the Redbirds this season, after the team took a hit with five 2020 graduations. But Macias said the team has shown consistent improvement during the season. He said Criveau's leadership has played a role and that making her team captain was an easy decision.
"She's a quiet leader," Macias said, "but she models outstanding sportsmanship and she always gives 100 percent. She has had some impressive wins this season, including ones against really tough players from Collinsville, Jerseyville and Roxana."
A win over Collinsville's Lindsey Taylor stands out in Criveau's mind.
"She had beaten me pretty bad the last time we had played." Criveau said, "and when we played at Collinsville, I admit I went with the attitude that she probably would beat me again. But I won the first set 6-3. She won the second set 6-4, but I came back in the third set and won the tiebreaker.
"When she started out in the first game, I could tell she wasn't playing the win just right and I focused on that."
Criveau said she considers her strength to be her biggest strength and that speed was her biggest need for improvement.
"But I'm working on it," she said. "I want to keep working hard, do well in the conference tournament and the postseason and be able to play in college."
Illinois College in Jacksonville looks to be the frontrunner for Criveau, who said she wants to major in Pediatric Psychology.
"I hope she gets the chance to keep playing," Macias said. "I'm proud to be her coach and she makes everyone on the team better with her work ethic and attitude." | commoncrawl | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUdkk4eIZjlowc57MA | I'm starting up a play by post Red Hand of Doom game on the giantitp forums. Starting level is 7, standard array and point buy are allowed but you can't have ability scores over 16 if you choose to point buy. Currently we've got two players, both of whom are fairly damage-oriented so some more utility-based characters would be preferable. Backstory isn't too important, since the game's mostly going to be about combat.
There's nothing to link to yet, still mostly in the planning stage.
Not gonna lie, it's tempting, since I'll probably rarely get chances to play Legend, but I'm not really sure how engaged I would be with an intensely combat-focused campaign, even if it's using the best combat system out there.
Here's hoping you get some dedicated players.
Would be useful to know how you plan on playing IRC, skype, etc. How often you plan on playing and what times/time zones. My summer schedule is crazy right now but I am excited to play legend if I can work it in my schedule.
It's a play-by-post game. It's not going to be a pure combat game, there are plenty of opportunities to chat with NPCs and each other, including important negotiations and things like that, but the main aim of the module is to stop a big horde of bad guys by killing them all. So if that's too much combat for you then it probably won't be the game for you.
I'd be interested. I'll play around with some character ideas and keep an eye out for the game link.
I don't have time and know RHoD too well already -- both of which are related to the fact that I'm currently running it myself -- but back in the day, I worked on converting all the RHoD stat blocks to Legend. Let me know if there are any you want me to send along. | c4 | 3 | 2 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUcmDxK5YsWPOoffZ0 | Flats proposals for social club rejected
TTG Inns Ltd submitted an application to Charnwood Borough Council detailing plans to demolish the single-storey function room on the site, refurbish the remaining building with four flats over and erect a new three-storey block of 13 flats.
Lauren Grant
COUNCILLORS rejected plans to see part of the Garendon Social Club demolished and the erection of a three-storey building for 13 new flats on Thorpe Hill in Loughborough.
The authority's plans committee debated the application for a second time at its meeting on Thursday, December 10 where councillors voted against officers' recommendations.
Officers believed that the proposal would provide both market and affordable housing units within Loughborough, and that use of a brownfield site would represent an effective use of land.
Officers also told the committee that there would be 17 allocated parking spaces for flats and a disabled space.
The rest of the site would provide 14 spaces for shared use and include two staff spaces and two disabled.
In a document submitted with the planning application, officers concluded that the benefits of the proposal would outweigh any harm that would be caused, and it was recommended that planning permission is granted.
However councillors disagreed. Much of the disapproval was centred around the number of parking spaces that were proposed.
Speaking at the meeting, Coun Margaret Smidowicz said: "There just isn't enough parking. It is a question about the site itself, if the club wasn't there would the parking be adequate?
"They are going to have to make up their minds on this application - flats or a social club, they are not going to work together."
Coun Brenda Seaton said: "There is no doubt in my mind that this land needs developing but not this way.
"Just take the social club out and we are looking at flats with just five parking spaces which we wouldn't pass.
"This was deferred so we could look at the bins and parking arrangements. We have looked at them and to me they seem totally and completely inadequate."
Coun Mark Lowe said that when the item was first deferred, he was hoping the development would go away and come back with another plan.
He said: "We shouldn't be scared of going to appeal, we should stick by our guns, at least we have done our job for the residents we are here to support."
Twelve councillors turned down the application and it was therefore rejected.

BkiUdwY4eIOjR-dm5m4k | CPAC's Matt Schlapp: Don't Let Your Kids Become Polluted by Marxism
Sara welcomes American Conservative Union and CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp to discuss his new book, "The Desecrators: Defeating the Cancel Culture Mob and Reclaiming One Nation Under God." Schlapp tells Sara that Americans of all political persuasions need to work together to stop Marxists from getting control of our government and crushing our freedoms.
Schlapp also says he thinks there should be criminal penalties for people who targeted police during the January 6th riots but he demands answers on why there is no interest in prosecuting the Black Lives Matter members and other violent protesters who assaulted police and caused billions of dollars in damage.
And he details why changing priorities for young adults make it harder for them to become conservatives.

We were told the Marxists were heading for the Border, and we were all going to end up Sandinistas. Its been 50 years, Ortega is still in power and I have yet to meet one.
Run Gen Z founder: Conservatives must win back America's youth
Run GenZ founder Joe Mitchell joined The Sara Carter Show podcast to discuss how America's youth have been hijacked by the radical left and what can be done to win them back.
Mitchell, who was the youngest person to be elected to the Iowa House at 21, admitted that many of the people he attended college with considered themselves to be radically progressive socialists. He added that for many of those students the radicalization didn't occur at home but on campus. If parents aren't teaching their children, most of that conversion for the Gen Z generation (known as Zoomers) will then take place on college campuses, and in many cases as far back as elementary school.
"I believe that has happened within our school systems and universities, we've seen this progression toward Marxism," Carter agreed, but noted that like Mitchell, there is a growing movement of young conservative activists as well.
However, it won't be easy. A recent Morning Consult poll found that only 16% of Gen Z were proud to live in America. It's an abysmal number, said Mitchell.
Mitchell found that post-college he was able to connect with many young professionals who are a part of a small but growing Gen Z generation. Moreover, he said groups such as Turning Point USA and CPAC, allow younger conservative adults the ability to make connections and network with similar people. It was part of the reason why he founded Run Gen Z, which is an organization that "empowers and mentors young conservatives to run for office.
In fact, Mitchell , was elected at the age of 21, when he first Iowa's 84th House
District which is located in the southeast region of the state.
The biggest battle for Mitchell is how radicalization of the youth and young adults, he said.
"Even just trying to get them to the middle of the aisle" is difficult, he told Carter.
The issues confronted by the youth in current American culture is that they have -for the most part – been radicalized by the left, he said. There are exceptions to this but it's a rarity, Mitchell said. He described of his good friends is a leftist and easy to have discussions with.
Mitchell was asked by his friend about the bans on CRT and LGBTQ+ in the school systems and said, "Don't you think its crazy that you guys voted for that?"
Mitchell responded with, "Think about when you were in elementary, when you were in middle and high school. I went to school in a small town with maybe two people of color in a small class of 30." Mitchell continued to say, "We learned about the terrible things of what we did to folks that were in slavery, the reconstruction era and the Jim Crow era."
Mitchell goes on to tell his friend that that wasn't what they were banning in Iowa in regards to CRT they are banning the "radicalized agenda" that CRT has. Mitchell stated that the curriculum in the USA is "written by people who hate America."
Sara responded with, "It's normalizing systemic racism… It driving a wedge between our children, between our family. Its almost as if there is an effort to break down our culture, our nation and our principles."

CIA agent E. Howard Hunt: the Jesuits are the world's greatest intelligence network [video]
6.2.2016 farnesius CIA, Jesuits, Knights of Malta, Vatican
The CIA itself has been a tool of the Vatican, an excerpt from a book by Stephen Mumford:
Consider the intensity of the commitment of these secret society members as "international defenders of the [Roman Catholic] Church." It is hardly a secret that one of the most important American advances in "defending the [Roman Catholic] Church" by Catholic elitists was the creation of the Central Intelligence Agency [CIA]. The activities of the CIA go far beyond intelligence gathering of an international nature.
The CIA serves as an agency through which secret "assistance" to the Holy Mother [Roman Catholic] Church can be provided by secret American society members acting as her defenders:
"During the CIA's formative years, Protestants predominated…… Somehow, however, [Roman] Catholics wrested control of the CIA's covert-action section. It was no coincidence that some of the agency's more grandiose operations were in [Roman] Catholic countries of Latin America and the [Roman] Catholic regime of South Vietnam."
For creating the Office of Strategic Services [OSS], the wartime predecessor to the CIA, and this special arrangement with the Vatican,
"General William "Wild Bill" Donovan was decorated in July 1944 by Pope Pius XII with the Grand Cross of the Order of Saint Sylvester, the oldest and most prestigious of papal knighthoods. This award has been given to only one hundred other men in history, who "by feat of arms or writing or outstanding deeds have spread the faith and have safeguarded and championed the [Roman Catholic] Church.""
Donovan did more to safeguard and champion the [Roman Catholic] Church than any other American, and he was rewarded for his services with the highest [Roman] Catholic award ever received by an American. No doubt, thousands of others have striven with their deeds for similar recognition.

Profound article, God bless.
farnesius says:
The fact that the CIA has been dominated by Catholics was even mentioned recently by the Catholic Herald:
No official statistics exist on Catholics in the CIA or any other American intelligence agency. But one interesting clue is the relatively high number of Catholics who have served as director of the agency.
The United States is a country in which – with the recent exception of the Supreme Court – Catholics have never dominated the highest offices. Only one out of 44 US Presidents has been Catholic. The first and only Catholic Vice President is the current one, Joe Biden. Before John Kerry, the last Catholic Secretary of State was Alexander Haig, who left the post in 1982. Catholics are a rarity in other top positions such as Secretary of Defence.
By contrast, three out of the last five CIA directors have been Catholic: Michael Hayden, Leon Panetta, and the current director, John Brennan. Looking back, a number of Catholics led the agency in critical periods during the Cold War. (There were no Catholic directors in the 1990s.)
https://catholicherald.co.uk/issues/may-6th-2016/why-catholics-thrive-in-the-cia/
So it's not really a big secret, it's just that hardly anyone is paying attention or understands the significance of this.
Notice the silly question at the end of the quote about the lack of Catholic presidents and how it supposedly proves the Vatican is not powerful in America. The Jesuit Vatican cabal of course don't need a nominally Catholic president to rule over America, they install their own men as advisors, like John Kelly, a Jesuit trained Roman Catholic who was Trump's Chief of Staff up until early 2019. | commoncrawl | 4 | 4 | 2 | 3 |

But most of us common folk couldn't even dream of wearing a Vera Wang dress on our wedding day-- until now.
The designer has done a collection of gowns that will be sold exclusively at David's Bridal stores. Ever since this collaboration was announced, the bridal world has been buzzing. And now, we finally get a peek at the styles we can expect to see on February 11.
The line is a true reflection of Vera Wang's main wedding collection and you can expect to see beautiful structural details mixed with very soft, lovely, flowy fabrics. But unlike Vera's regular dresses, these are much more affordable with many of the styles coming in under $2000.

BkiUc9Q5i7PA9O6rSzK- | Los Sabandeños son una agrupación de Música Popular Canaria, nacida en 1965 en Tenerife, Canarias. Son los máximos exponentes de la música tradicional de las islas y el grupo canario más reconocido en el ámbito internacional. Se hicieron especialmente populares por sus actuaciones con María Dolores Pradera.
Historia
"Los Sabandeños", comienza su actividad musical en 1966. Han transcurrido ya más de 50 años desde que aquel grupo de amigos del entorno universitario de La Laguna, decidiera formalizarse como agrupación e iniciara una labor musical ininterrumpida, reflejada en casi 70 trabajos discográficos; un valioso archivo sonoro que recoge parte del legado tradicional, además de canciones de creación propia y versiones adaptadas. No sólo han abordado los distintos géneros que componen el variado repertorio folklórico canario sino que, paralelamente, se han dedicado a difundir el rico cancionero latinoamericano y, más recientemente, el bolero, que para los estudiosos se ha conformado ya como un género propio de la música tradicional latina. Tal ha sido el impacto de la trayectoria sabandeña, que se han convertido en un obligado punto de referencia para la música tradicional, que va más allá del ámbito canario.
Fuera de las Islas Canarias, Los Sabandeños han llevado su música por toda la geografía nacional y han realizado conciertos en Bélgica, Italia, Portugal, Estados Unidos, México, República Dominicana, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Venezuela, Brasil, Uruguay, Argentina, Colombia. Sus discos, con más de 2.000.000 de copias vendidas, han sido editados en muchos de estos países, además de Japón.
Su primera etapa discográfica en Columbia incluyó hasta 1983 un total de 17 discos de larga duración, de los que destacaron los tres volúmenes de Antología de Folklore Canario, La Cantata del Mencey Loco, de gran impacto sociocultural, Seguidillas del Salinero, Misa Sabandeña, Sentencias del Tata Viejo, Guanche, Cantos Canarios, La Rebelión de los Gomeros, Canarios en la Independencia de Latinoamérica.
Tras la aparición en años sucesivos de seis nuevos trabajos en el sello discográfico canario Manzana, Los Sabandeños inician en 1990 una etapa que aborda más de lleno el género bolero y que se traduce en la grabación, en el sello Zafiro, de tres trabajos discográficos de gran repercusión: A la luz de la luna, Íntimamente, y Amor y Carnaval.
En su última etapa discográfica, de nuevo con Manzana, Producciones Discográficas, aparecen proyectos monográficos de gran éxito, que reúnen todos los estilos que el grupo ha cultivado a lo largo de su trayectoria musical. Trabajos como Canario, Atlántida, Bolero, Mar, Gardel, o 19 nombres de mujer han llegado a ser Doble Disco de Oro y Platino y han contado con colaboradores de la talla de Alfredo Kraus, Eduardo Falú, Daniel Viglietti, Mario Benedetti, Francisco Rabal, Olga Guillot, Alberto Cortez, María Dolores Pradera , Luis Eduardo Aute, Mercedes Sosa, entre otros.
En 1995, El País-Aguilar edita su biografía "Los Sabandeños: El Canto de las Afortunadas". También en ese año son propuestos para el Premio Príncipe de Asturias de las Artes, con masivo apoyo popular e institucional.
A lo largo de su historia han participado en numerosos festivales, conciertos y recitales, tanto en el ámbito nacional como internacional. Destacar su participación en el Festival de Cosquín (Córdoba, Argentina) en enero de 1986, en el Amanecer Latino de la Playa de Las Teresitas (Tenerife), en Festival Son Latinos de Los Cristianos (Tenerife) donde actuaron ante más de trescientas mil personas y en Miami en mayo de 1995. En febrero de 1996 actúan en el Palacio de la Música Catalana de Barcelona, que retransmitió TVE y se recogió en un CD llamado 30 Años cantándole al Mundo - Concierto del Palau. Realizaron un concierto en la Expo'98 de Lisboa y participaron en el Festival Internacional de Boleros "Beny Moré", en La Habana y Cienfuegos, Cuba; o los efectuados en Cartagena de Indias, Colombia en el año 2005 con motivo del hermanamiento de dicha Ciudad con la de San Cristóbal de La Laguna.
En el 2006 graban el disco "Al cabo del tiempo" junto a Maria Dolores Pradera, en el que interpretan destacados boleros como Perfidia o Noche de Ronda y algunas canciones del folclore canario como Palmero sube a la palma entre otras.
Durante los años 2007 y 2008 se han sucedido las giras y conciertos, en España y en otros países (como Chile). Cabe destacar el concierto ofrecido en la Expo de Zaragoza (agosto de 2008), al que acudieron unas 15.000 personas. También han editado varios trabajos discográficos que recogen lo mejor de su repertorio en estos más de 40 años. El disco de 2008, "Personajes" es un homenaje a varios personajes de diversos países, en el que se incluyen colaboraciones con músicos canarios como Caco Senante, Pedro Guerra, Carlos Aguirre, etc.
El 2009 editaron "Lo que da la parra" y durante ese mismo año, su disco "Te canto un bolero", en colaboración con María Dolores Pradera, obtuvo una nominación a los Grammy Latinos, en la categoría "Mejor álbum tropical tradicional", pese a no venir de una área tropical.

The award selection process utilizes used vehicle wholesale prices, which represent how much a dealer buys a used vehicle for. These prices are then divided by the vehicle's original purchase price. These calculations are based on wholesale records from January through June 2018 for vehicles that are three years old. For the 2018 calculation, 2015 is the applicable model year.

BkiUcynxaKPQokFdbp7W | Your Guide to One of the Most Famous Streets and Bands in the World
Mathew Street Liverpool
Mathew Street in Liverpool is known throughout the world as the street that hosts the Cavern Club where The Beatles played many times early on in their career. It is also the centre for the yearly Beatles festivals "Mathew Street Festival" and hub for many other musical events that take place each year in the famous city.
Beatles Q&A
Which Beatles are Alive?
December 11, 2020 December 31, 2020 Mathew Street 0 Comments Which Beatles are Alive
The Beatles exploded onto the music scene in 1963. Their energy, songwriting, and iconic personalities singlehandedly changed Rock n Roll. Today, only two of the Beatles are alive.
Which Beatles are alive? At the time of writing the only two remaining members of the Beatles are Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.
Paul McCartney was born in 1942. He and John Lennon wrote some of the most popular music of all time. His boyish good looks earned him the nickname, "The Cute Beatle". Paul's song, "Yesterday", is the most covered song in the history of music.
After the Beatles broke up in 1970, he continued churning out hits throughout the 70s with his band, The Wings. He even wrote the theme song to 1973's James Bond movie, "Live and Let Die".
The 1980s saw collaborations with Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder. Paul turned his hand to classical music in the 1990s and wrote to critical acclaim, "Liverpool Oratorio". He continues to be active today with no plans to retire.
He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II on March 11, 1997. With his knighthood comes the title, Sir Paul. Although too modest to use the title, he is officially referred to as Sir Paul McCartney in the British press.
Paul married Linda Eastman in 1969. She was a collaborator, an inspiration, and a bandmate in The Wings. They have four children. Linda died of cancer in 1998. Paul then married Heather Mills in 2002 and had another child. They divorced in 2006 and Paul married Nancy Shevell in 2011.
He is worth approximately $1 billion.
Ringo Starr was born Richard Starkey on July 7, 1940. His childhood was marred by his father's abandonment of the family, a bout of peritonitis, and two years spent in a tuberculosis sanatorium. However, he learned to play drums in the sanatorium which led him down a path to fame and fortune.
He changed his name to Ringo in 1960 to acknowledge the many rings he wore. Starr was a stylized abbreviation of his last name.
He joined the Beatles in 1962. Fans quickly recognized his unique drumming ability and charming personality He was assigned lead vocal on only one song per album which was serendipitous. He sang the iconic "With a Little Help from My Friends" on Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Ringo's solo career included a string of hits in the 1970s. He created the All Starr Band in the 1980s which has a revolving membership featuring star performers such as Joe Walsh, Nils Lofgren, and Billy Preston. He continues touring and recording live albums with the All Starr Band.
His other talents included acting. He appeared in films like Peter Seller's "The Magic Christian". He was the narrator for the 1980s children's show, "Thomas and Friends". He collaborated with Paul McCartney and George Harrison on the documentary, "Beatles Anthology", in the 1990s.
He married Maureen Cox in 1965 and had three children. They divorced in 1976. He married Barbara Bach, a Bond girl, in 1981 and they are still married.
He is worth approximately $3 million.
Paul and Ringo have had noteworthy careers as part of The Beatles and solo. Their talent will be revered for many generations to come.

BkiUdfU25V5itcKZFlS6 | Of or relating to the conversion of convertible securities into common stock when such conversion would result in an increase in diluted earnings per share or a decrease in diluted loss per share. For example, it is an antidilutive conversion if outstanding warrants are assumed to be exercised in order to acquire shares of common stock at a higher price than the market price of the stock. Such a conversion would result in an increase in diluted earnings per share. Conversions that would increase earnings per share or reduce loss per share are not generally used in calculating diluted earnings per share.
6011 common stock per USD1,000 principal and include antidilutive protection that provides for an increase in common stock issuable upon conversion resulting from common stock dividends after a de minimis threshold.
The incremental number of shares is always a positive number--that is, the exercise of the TSM cannot be antidilutive.
In that situation, the potential shares are antidilutive and not included in the company's EPS calculation.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, diluted net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, because the impact of common stock equivalents is antidilutive.
But employee equity awards generally impact only the denominator of diluted EPS unless they are antidilutive (ASC 260-10-45-17).
Antidilutive securities not included in diluted EPS.
28, no shares will be included in the diluted earnings per share computation, as the effect would be antidilutive.
This method should be applied for all prior periods, including loss years in which the impact of the incremental shares is antidilutive.
The proposed statement's impact on EPS is limited to the reduced reported net income until the options no longer are antidilutive since the use of the Treasury stock method is unaffected by the proposed standard.
Companies that have a discontinued operation, extraordinary item, or cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle are to use income from continuing operations as the "control number" in determining whether potential common shares are dilutive or antidilutive.
There were no antidilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the quarter ended March 29, 2007. | c4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUd1U5qYVBc0citBpr | Chief Civilian Director Makes Report to Crown Counsel
INFORMATION BULLETIN
SURREY – Chief Civilian Director Richard Rosenthal of the Independent Investigations Office (IIO) has made a report to Crown Counsel with respect to an officer-involved incident that took place in Abbotsford. IIO file 14-017 refers.
On January 28, an adult male sustained a wrist injury at or around the time he was taken into the custody of the Abbotsford Police Department. He was treated in hospital and the incident was reported to the IIO.
The completed IIO investigation was forwarded to the Chief Civilian Director. In examining the evidence, he determined that an officer may have committed an offence and as such, has sent the file to Crown Counsel.
The Chief Civilian Director does not make a recommendation on whether charges should be approved or what charges Crown Counsel should consider. Under the Crown Counsel Act, the Criminal Justice Branch has jurisdiction over the charge assessment and charge approval process.
In approving charges, the Criminal Justice Branch must be satisfied not only that an offence may have been committed, but that the commission of an offence can be proven in court beyond a reasonable doubt. Criminal Justice Branch policy provides that in making this assessment Crown Counsel will apply a two-part test:
1. There must be a substantial likelihood of conviction based on the evidence gathered by the investigating agency.
2. A prosecution must be required in the public interest.
Under these circumstances, no public report will be issued by the IIO and no further information will be provided.

BkiUdrU4uBhi9jcJVKxF | This dainty sterling silver necklace features a single wire wrapped dyed green freshwater pearl pendant. The wire is also sterling silver.
I wanted to create a simple, tasteful necklace and I love pearls. I think the chaotic wire wrapping adds a modern touch to the classic pearl.
The fine chain measures 18 inches, end to end and has a springring clasp. The pearl pendant hangs at about 5/8 inch, from top to bottom. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUe93xK0-nUKDhrr6D | So what if it's a Hallmark Holiday, Father's Day is for all of us to remember, reflect and celebrate the Dad's in our lives. Memories that come to me on this day range from motorcycle rides in the forests of Ormond Beach, to sun drenched fall afternoons at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee watching Bobby Bowden work his magic. It's burgers in the backyard, Bryers Butter Pecan and Stavro's Pizza. Opera blaring on Saturdays and raking leaves on Sunday.
Dad's play so many roles in our lives, provider, protector, role model, best friend… and disciplinarian when we need it! Lucky are the kids whose dad was all that for them! I certainly am! I try to be all those roles for my family now, and fortunately I had the best role model ever. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

People usually think that incontinence is a term for involuntary urination and defecation. In fact, incontinence is a bit more complex than that. There are different forms of incontinence, and the retention of urine and/or feces is also a form of incontinence. According to the technical terms, incontinence is "the inability of the body to control the evacuative functions of urination and defecation". Here are the different types of incontinence.
Stress Incontinence
This type of incontinence is also called "giggle" incontinence and is usually seen in women. This urine leakage is caused by the pressure on the bladder from the abdominal muscles. This is the most common form of incontinence among women. An estimated 15 million women in the United States are affected, according to the National Association for Continence (NAFC). Generally, the urinary sphincter, the "valve" at the bladder neck controls urine flow. During this type of incontinence this valve allows a small amount of urine to pass when the person coughs, sneezes, laughs, strains (as when lifting a heavy object) or simply bends over. Stress incontinence is generally caused by the weakening of the pelvic floor muscles that control the outflow of urine by things such as childbirth, neurological disorder, side effects of surgeries or injuries.
Urge Incontinence
This occurs when the urge to urinate is felt and you have to go immediately! Urge incontinence can result in a small loss of urine or a full flood of a large volume of the bladder contents depending on the strength of the pelvic muscles. This type of incontinence is also caused by strong contractions of the bladder (detruser muscle), also called "bladder spasms". The symptoms can be as simple as a strong urge to urinate to severe or debilitating pain when the cramping hits, with a sudden loss of bladder control. This can be caused by bladder infections, neurological damage, injury or other diseases of the bladder.
Functional Incontinence
This type of incontinence is also referred to as "reflex" incontinence, as it involves urination without the awareness that the bladder needs to be emptied or the ability to control urination. The bladder fills to a certain point and a reflex causes it to automatically empty without any action or control on the part of the individual. The bladder may empty completely or may retain some urine.
Functional incontinence can be caused by spinal cord injury (usually above the T10 level), neurological disorder, complications from surgery, cognitive disorder (autism, developmental disability, etc.) and other causes.
Overflow Incontinence
Overflow incontinence is the true to its name. The bladder gets filled to its complete limit and the pressure from the full bladder is enough to push small amounts of urine past the urinary sphincter that then dribble out of the urethra. Usually overflow incontinence includes small amounts (or drizzling) of urine.
It can be caused by an enlarged prostate, neurological injury, physical injury or diseases of the bladder and/or urinary system.
Transient Incontinence
Transient (temporary, reversible, or acute) incontinence is usually caused by an illness or a specific medical condition that is more or less short-lived and is, therefore, quickly remedied by appropriate treatment of the condition and disappearance of symptoms. People who have severe constipation, an irritated or inflamed bladder, urethra or vagina or those recovering from surgery or taking medication such as a diuretic or sleeping pill are more likely to suffer. This type of incontinence is a side effect of another medical issue or medication.
This type of incontinence is also true to its name. Incontinence can consist of any or all of the types listed above. This is usually the hardest to treat, as there are a NUMBER of causes and possible treatments.
Total Incontinence
It's the complete loss of urinary control. It affects people who have a vesicovaginal fistula or an abnormal connection between the urinary tract and the vagina. Also, people who have suffered spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis or another disorder that affects nerve function. What causes total incontinence? This can be a result of anatomic abnormalities or a severe injury.
Nocturnal Enuresis (Bedwetting)
This is problem that majorly occurs in children. Bedwetting is the uncontrolled act of urination during sleep in which the person may be completely unaware that urination is occurring. Nocturnal enuresis has a number of causes which include, childhood trauma, mental illness, inability of the body to produce a hormone called Anti-Diuretic Hormone which slows the production of urine at night, and many other causes.
This is an unusual case of urinary incontinence but nonetheless, urinary retention is the inability to pass urine due a blockage in the urethra, inability of the urinary sphincter or detruser (bladder) muscle to contract or even anxiety. Retention can cause urine to back up into the kidneys and also can cause overflow incontinence, but it depends on the situation. Urinary retention can be caused by an enlarged prostate, urethral stricture (narrowing), bladder or kidney stones blocking the urethra, neurological illness, spinal cord injury, physical injury to the bladder or urethra, mental health disorders and others.
In this type the person involuntary passes feces at inappropriate or unplanned times. Like bladder incontinence, bowel incontinence is caused by many issues such as abdominal or rectal injury, neurological disorder, spinal cord injury, Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, constipation, diarrhea and cognitive disabilities. Bowel incontinence can come in some of the same forms as mentioned above.
Knowing the type of incontinence one suffers from is highly important as different types of incontinence have different treatment and rehabilitation methods. The types of products and devices one uses depends on the kind of incontinence they have to deal with.
