Right now, I am feeling compelled to write the South Carolina chapter of Alexander Gordon’s life. So, for now, I plan to return to the South Carolina Gazette to discover everything that I can about Gordon from his arrival in South Carolina until his death in 1754. I need to write this chapter in his life. No, I must do so—if not me, who? And I shall do so. The task will not be an easy one since I will have to read the South Carolina Gazette on microfilm, but, I am blessed to be able to do so! Please, join me here, as I share with you the highlights of Alexander Gordon’s life in Colonial South Carolina! Since that post, I have been working diligently to discover and piece together the details of Alexander Gordon’s life from the time that he arrived in South Carolina until his death in 1754. I have only touched the tip of the iceberg, so to speak, but I am eager to start sharing my findings with you all. As it turns out, I continue to dig into old newspapers but they are not musty at all. In fact, they are digital! How wonderful, technology! Emily Dickinson wrote in one of her poems, “There is no frigate like a book / To take us lands away.” Today she might well write, “There is no frigate like the Internet / To take us lands away.” How true! So, for right now, I’m being transported (via the Internet) past place and past time, using digitized versions of The South Carolina Gazette as well as digitized versions of some eighteenth century newspapers published in Scotland and England. I’m pursuing the Scotland/England angle because as I started to find information in The South Carolina Gazette about Alexander Gordon and his patron, James Glen (Governor of South Carolina, 1738-1756), I started wondering what kind of press coverage the two of them received “at home” as they started their journey to the New World. I’ve found a lot! But where do I begin? And what shall I share? I am tempted to begin with September 11, 1739, when “his Majesty’s Royal Commission passed the Great Seal, appointing James Glen, Esq., to be Governor and Commander in and Over his Majesty’s Province of South-Carolina in America” (Stamford Mercury, September 13, 1739). Last Saturday arrived here in the Tartar Man of War commanded by Captain Ward, his Excellency James Glen, Esq; Captain General, Governor and Commander in Chief of this Province, and Vice-Admiral of the same. Upon a Signal of Five Guns being discharged at Fort-Johnson, the Charles-Town Regiment was drawn up under Arms upon the Bay, extending in Two Lines facing one another from the Council-Chamber to Gibbs’s wharfs. His Excellency in passing by Fort-Johnson, was saluted by the Guns of that Fort; and when the Ship came before the Town, by the Guns also at Granville’s, Craven’s, and Broughton’s Batteries. As soon as she came to an Anchor, the Clerk of the Council and Master in Chancery having been first sent on board, to wait on his Excellency, and to shew him a proper Place of Landing, she was afterwards received at the Landing, by the Honourable Edmond Atkin and Charles Pinckney, Esqrs as Members of his Majesty’s Hon. Council who conducted his Excellency through the two Lines of [one word illegible] to the Council-Chamber, to his Honour the Lieutenant Governor attended by the Rest of the Members of Council then on the Spot; His Excellency having there produced his Majesty’s said Commission, he was conducted by them, the Sword of State being carried before, and attended by the Honourable the Commons House, and many Officers and other Gentlemen of Distinction, to Granville’s Bastion, where the same was published in due Form, which was followed by Three Whirras, a Discharge of the Cannon at the Bastions, and a general Volley of the Regiment. Then his Excellency, attended by all the Gentlemen present, marched back in like Manner, to the Council-Chamber, being saluted as he passed by all the Officers of the Regiment. And having there qualified himself to act by taking the usual Cloths, and the Regiment being drawn up as before in Broad-street, his Excellency attended again in the same Manner walked to Mr. Shepheard’s Tavern, where a handsome Entertainment was provided for him, and a numerous Company concluded the Day with Joy, the House being handsomely illuminated (South Carolina Gazette). Again, however, I think not. The SPEECH of his Excellency JAMES GLEN, Esq; Captain General, Governor, and Commander in Chief, in and over the Province of South-Carolina, delivered to our Houses of Assembly, on Wednesday the eleventh Day of January, 1743-4, in the Council-Chamber. Once again, though, I think not. The speech is too long to serve my purposes right now, and, more important, our principal player here—Alexander Gordon—played a behind-the scenes role as Clerk of His Majesty’s Council. So I won’t begin with any of the above temptations, important as they are. I will save those nuggets for a later post. What I will begin with, then, is the very first notice of Alexander Gordon that I have been able to find in my journey through the “musty,” digitized versions of newspapers published in Scotland and England. Proposals, for Printing by Subscription, ITINERARIUM SEPTENTRIONALE: or, A Journey over the greatest Part of the Kingdom of Scotland, and most northerly Parts of England; in One Volume, Folio, divided into three Parts: The First to contain an Account and Description of all the Monuments of Roman Antiquity, that have been found, and are to be seen in the North Parts of the Island. The 2nd, A Description of the most remarkable Monuments of Pictish and Danish Antiquity; together with the other valuable Curiosities of Art that are in Scotland. The 3rd, An Account of all the Curiosities of fine Taste that have been brought from Italy and elsewhere, to be seen in the Collections of the Curious in that Part of the Island. By ALEXANDER GORDON, Citizen of Aberdeen. Subscriptions are taken in at John’s and the Exchange Coffee-houses, Edinburgh. Itinerarium Septentrionale: or, a Journey Thro’ most of the COUNTIES of SCOTLAND, and Those in the NORTH OF ENGLAND. PART I. Containing an Account of all the MONUMENTS of ROMAN ANTIQUITY found and collected in that Journey and exhibited in order to illustrate the Roman History in those Parts of Britain, from the first Invasion by Julius Caesar, till Julius Agricola’s March into Caledonia, in the Reign of Vespasian. And thence more fully to their last abandoning the Island, in the Reign of Theodosius Junior. With a particular Description of the ROMAN WALLS in Cumberland, Northumberland, AND Scotland. Then different Stations, Watch-Towers, Turrets, Exploratory Castles, Height, Breadth, and all their other Dimensions; taken by an actual Geometrical Survey from Sea to Sea with all the Altars and Inscriptions found on them. As also a View of the several Places of Encampment, made by the Romans, their Castles, Military Ways, etc. PART II. An Account of the DANISH INVASIONS on SCOTLAND, and of the Monuments erected there, on the different Defeats of that People. With other curious REMAINS of ANTIQUITY, Never before communicated to the Publick. That it didn’t appear in the published book is neither here nor there in terms of the work that I am doing with Alexander Gordon and his Humourist essays. What made me sit up and take notice were the words Curious and Taste. In the Humourist essays, Gordon uses the word Curious twice and the word Taste or Tastes seven times. Sometimes the words are used together and sometimes, even, in the context of discussing art! This certainly helps strength my identification of Gordon as the author of the Humourist essays. But let me hasten back to those musty, digitized newspapers and my early findings there! Edinburgh, August 22. Several persons of Distinction, etc. are gone hence to meet their Graces the Duke and Dutchess of Athol, who are expected in Town this Night. We hear that Mr. Alexander Gordon, Author of the Book entitul’d Itinerarium Septentrionale, had the Honour to present their Royal Highnesses with his Book, and was very graciously received; and for his future Encouragement, were please to subscribe to his Proposals for the Maps he designs to publish of the Roman Walls in Britain. That Gentleman is shortly expected in Scotland, to illustrate a Project which will greatly redound to the Advantage of Trade and Navigation in Britain (Caledonian Mercury, August 22, 1726). Monday last Mr. Alexander Gordon, Author of the Itinerarium Septentrionale, presented his new History of Pope Alexander VI and Caesar Borgia, to the King and Queen, was very graciously received, and had the Honour to kiss their Majesties Hands; and on Tuesday he presented the said book to the Prince, and had the Honour to kiss his R. Highness’s Hands also (Caledonian Mercury, March 27, 1729). How truly wonderful that Gordon’s early—and, let me hasten to add, important—scholarly works were of such high caliber and of such historical significance that British Royalty took notice and favoured him.

Networking events rank as one of the best ways for entrepreneurs to mingle with potential clients, customers and colleagues. Whether at a conference, corporate gathering or cocktail party, networking events offer a great opportunity for small business owners to meet new people and reconnect with old associates. However, if you find the idea of mingling in a room full of strangers terrifying, connecting with other business owners and potential customers or clients can be an uncomfortable and difficult process. No matter how you feel about mingling, networking is still an incredibly effective way to meet people who can offer new opportunities to your business. While a lot of entrepreneurs frequently attend networking events, few actually practice or study the principles behind effective networking. The more practice you have at starting new conversations with strangers, the less nervous the idea of mingling will become. Your confidence will attract others and help you become a lot more than just another face and one more business card. To become a better mingler, give these tips a try during the next networking event you attend. Holding a conversation requires the same set of skills as giving a presentation or speech. Practice your public speaking skills whenever you can. Take a class on public speaking or join a local Toastmasters club. When you fee ready, offer to give a guest lecture at a local university or community college or give a presentation at an industry trade show or meeting. The quality of handshake you offer a stranger says a lot about you and your intentions. When you approach someone you don’t know at a networking event, begin your conversation with a firm handshake. Make eye contact as you greet the person, smile, offer your hand and introduce yourself. This type of confident nonverbal communication will better help you build a rapport right from the start. When holding conversations, an essential skill that often gets over looked is remembering the other person’s name. Saying someone’s name during a conversation helps to establish a connection and show you’re actively listening to what the person is saying. To help you remember someone’s name, try using it frequently throughout the conversation. Should you forget the name, simply offer your hand and introduce yourself. The other person will more than likely reciprocate by introducing him or herself. A lot of entrepreneurs fall into the trap of using a common but ineffective approach to networking. Instead of spending time building relationships and establishing rapport, they just hand out and collect as many business cards as possible. However, the best way to create lasting professional connections is to approach potential new customers, clients or contacts with a genuine interest in their hobbies, opinions and businesses. When you start a conversation, try asking open-ended questions to demonstrate interest and sincerity. The best way to form connections while networking is being able to tell your story during conversations. Everyone has some kind of story to tell. To uncover the other person’s story, you need to ask the right questions. You could start with something like “Who influenced you to become what you are today?” It’s a very personal question and should help others open up to you in return.

Provided is an Android app package EzDroid.apk. I typically use an Android emulator for testing, it’s free and easy to install on all major platforms, so it’s pretty much a no brainer. After installation, it looks like it maanges to start but exits shortly after, for some unknown reason. Looks like it is time to inspect the code. I like looking at high-level languages, so let’s start with that first. BuildConfig and R are compile-time Android-generated classes, so ignore those. EZMain looks to be the main Activity class. If you are unfamiliar with Android, that’s where the action happens. I don’t have any dedicated programmers. I have been programming Atmel chips using the USB-to-serial bitbang method. Recently, I thought I’d get one because doing a re-programming cycle is taking quite a bit of time (a disadvantage of serial port bitbanging). A popular one on Aliexpress seems to be this “USB ISP” one, so I bought one. I chose this one because it has a nice aluminium case, and a pinout diagram imprinted on the case, which is handy. After having so many one-off projects with bare PCBs collecting dust, I now appreciate the importance of having projects in their own box or case. While it has “USBasp” in the item name, it turns out that this was not a USBasp device, and getting it to work like one takes some effort. avrdude does not recognize the device, even after creating an entry with the corresponding vendor/product ID. This particular device was designed to work with their Windows-based UI called ProgISP and will not work with avrdude. And apparently you can’t just take the USBasp firmware and flash it into this device, because the circuit is somewhat different. Disassembling the device is simple. While grabbing the side of the case, firmly push the USB connector inwards and the board should slide out the other end. You can then gently pull the board out by the IDC connector. The programmer seems to be based off of the popular USBasp programmer, but modified somewhat (to what end I’m not sure). It lacks some features offered by other USBasp programmers, like the ability to control the target’s clock, or to use 3.3V for certain targets. But at $2 with a nice aluminium case, what more can you ask for? It’s powered by an ATmega88 (I read that older versions were based on ATmega8). The markings on the board indicate that this is a MX-USBISP-V4.00. You can ignore tHe date because it was never updated; the older V3.02 also has the same date. While the GreenPhotons blog was talking about V3.00, I have verified that this version suffers from the same issue. Note that there are provisions on the PCB to add a voltage regulator, and the PCB link marked “C” can be cut to separate USB power from the rest of the system. Link “D” can be cut if you wish to disable target power. However, none of these options were used. This causes the USB D- line to be actively driven from PD3, thereby impeding communication to/from the USB host. The rest of this post will talk about (1) correcting this problem in USBasp, and (2) uploading the firmware into your zhifengsoft programmer. I have been running a software RAID array at home for some time now. It’s a single network storage where I consolidate all my files. I manage this array manually using the mdadm command. Some people choose to buy a NAS storage box which hides all of the implementation details behind a nice Web GUI, but it’s essentially the same thing under the hood. As long as the other drives in the array doesn’t develop bad sectors in the same stripe, the data can still be reconstructed from the remaining good blocks. This means that you can somewhat leave the drive as it is for a period without replacement, but of course you are taking a risk. I thought I’d share my experiences with drive replacements thus far. Most Linux distributions provide the raid-check script for periodic RAID scrubbing. This is basically a background cron job that tells the kernel to start checking the RAID array. For RHEL/CentOS systems, this should occur every weekend. During this scrubbing process, all drives within the array are read and their parity blocks are computed, to ensure that everything tallies.

Some egg farmers are in business to provide people with healthy breakfasts. But at The Virtual Casino, we’re laying way more on the table than just scrambled deliciousness. Enter the Hen House for your chance to catch a golden egg and find yourself enjoying a feast of wealth. You’re in charge of the henhouse and there are tons of opportunities to get rich by finding the right eggs. Enjoy up to 25 free games, two big jackpots, and lots of cash hidden in every nest. But keep your eyes open for the rotten eggs. You’ll want to avoid those at all costs and head straight for the golden ones instead! Hen House is one of the easiest games to play at The Virtual Casino. The hens are busy keeping their eggs warm in this one, so they won’t bother you. Get started by choosing how much you want to bet and how many lines you want to play. Feel free to bet anywhere from $0.01 to $5 per line and from one line through to all 25 lines. Just use the arrows next to the Bet and Lines buttons to adjust your selections. When you’re ready for the hens to lay their eggs, just click the Spin button. The hens will immediately start clucking, the reels will spin, and they’ll come to a stop one by one. You literally don’t have to do anything. If you’ve matched up the right symbols, the game will automatically pay you out credits based on how much you’ve bet. Never farmed eggs before? Don’t sweat it. It’s really easy—and you don’t even have to wake up at the crack of dawn to make sure the hens are doing their thing. Just follow these simple game controls to take charge of the coop. Bet: You don’t need a big nest egg to play Hen House. Just use the arrows next to the Bet button to lower or raise your bet. You can wager anywhere from $0.01 to $5 per line. Lines: hen House is a 25-payline game. You can play all 25 lines, just one, or anywhere in between. Use the arrows next to the Lines button to change your lines selection. Spin: Ready to watch the hens lay their eggs? Just click the Spin button to get the hens to start clucking. Autoplay: Rather let the software do all the work? Turn AutoPlay on and you don’t have to worry about hitting Spin. Ever. The software will do it automatically for you, right after your winning bets have been paid out. You’ll get paid out automatically every time you’ve matched up the right combination of symbols. Some symbols pay out more than others, like the Eggs for example. Hit three or more of those and you’ll get to play a free games feature where up to 25 on-the-hen-house games could be yours. A massive barn full of hens might feel overwhelming at first. It’s a bit chaotic so we totally understand why you might want to decrease your paylines selection. We recommend not to. If you’re short on funds, decrease your bet amount instead. By decreasing the number of lines you like to play, you risk missing out on a winning combination landing on a payline. And that could mean missing a big jackpot. Instead, lower your bet amount. You’ll still get to play all 25 paylines, but it won’t cost you as much, and you won’t miss out on hitting it big. The substitute symbol in Hen House is the Hen. Like many other online slots games, the substitute symbol can replace any other symbol in the game to help you complete a winning payline and come out with a win. However, in Hen House, the Hen symbol can’t sub in for the Egg symbol.

“You can’t really know anything if you just remember isolated facts. If the facts don’t hang together on a latticework of theory, you don’t have them in a usable form. The world’s greatest problem-solvers, forecasters, and decision-makers all rely on a set of frameworks and shortcuts that help them cut through complexity and separate good ideas from bad ones. They’re called mental models, and you can find them in dense textbooks on psychology, physics, economics, and more. * If you’ve ever been overwhelmed by a to-do list that’s grown too long, maybe you need the Eisenhower Decision Matrix to help you prioritize. * Use the 5 Whys model to better understand people’s motivations or get to the root cause of a problem. * Before concluding that your colleague who messes up your projects is out to sabotage you, consider Hanlon’s Razor for an alternative explanation. * Ever sat through a bad movie just because you paid a lot for the ticket? You might be falling prey to Sunk Cost Fallacy. * Set up Forcing Functions, like standing meeting or deadlines, to help grease the wheels for changes you want to occur. So, the next time you find yourself faced with a difficult decision or just trying to understand a complex situation, let Super Thinking upgrade your brain with mental models.

Andrea's Story | Hope Enterprises, Inc. Andrea came to Hope Enterprises three years ago. She was in her late twenties and living with her parents at the time.

In addition to participating, she also enjoys going to the Pennsylvania state games at Penn State to watch many of the Special Olympic sports. Swimming is one of her favorites. Aside from her involvement with the Special Olympics, since joining the Community Supports Program, Andrea has moved into her very own apartment in the Trinity House with her gray and white cat, Tom. Trinity House is an independent living facility with 11 apartments. She loves living on her own, especially because she says all of her friends live at the Trinity House, too. Hope was also able to help her prepare for, and find, her full-time job with SunComm Industries, where she packs plastic silverware. Andrea says her job has taught her to stay on task and focus. But her favorite part is earning a paycheck that she’s able to use to spend on some of her favorite things, like going to the movies, shopping and getting her nails done. For every disability, there is a HopeAbility. Andrea was able to gain the HopeAbility of independence through the Hope Community Supports Program.

My name is Tim Plante and I'm an assistant professor/clinician investigator at the Larner College of Medicine at the University of Vermont (UVM). After completing medical school at UVM in 2011, I traveled to the mid-Atlantic for medicine residency at Georgetown and a general internal medicine fellowship at the Johns Hopkins University, where I was a trainee in the Welch Center for Prevention, Epidemiology, and Clinical Research while completing a MHS in clinical epidemology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. I have practiced primary care in the past and am currently practicing in an outpatient multidisciplinary thrombosis clinic and on the inpatient hospitalist service at the University of Vermont Medical Center. I'm a co-founder and an editor-in-chief of WJC, which I started with my good buddy Dave Iberri. Dave and I first met in medical school at UVM where we developed a wiki for our foundations courses. WJC was developed as an IM residency project while I was at Georgetown and Dave was at Stanford. You can read a bit on the background of the project in this piece on the UVM Medicine blog.

Music Hall’s RDR-1 table-top radio is a reviewer’s companion. For when I was hard at work editing and typing reviews or making industry correspondences, the Musical Hall radio was there not simply playing crystal clear FM music from a classical station as never achieved by any other radios, it is also equipped with the Radio Data System (RDS) technology that displays stations call signs and music title, such as “BEETHOVEN EROICA IN E, OP 55”. Maybe the radio stations will begin to include information on performers before long. The RDR-1 has a 7-watt, 3-inch speaker that occupies about 3/8 of the front panel on the left, then 2/8 of the panel to the right is provisioned with a large TUNING dial, with a smaller but more protruded VOLUME dial beneath it. The large LCD display between the speaker and the TUNING and VOLUME is joined also by two rows of shiny chrome buttons below it. The little buttons on the first row control the adjustable, 4-levels of brightness of the LCD display, BAND/AUX selection, and M1 through M5 of PRESET STATION. The second row of the little buttons control SCAN/MONO, DISPLAY of miscellaneous RDS texts, SET, AF (alternate frequency for the tuned station), CT and finally, traffic news (an SUV symbol). The Musical Hall FM radio clock has an internal antenna that pulls in stations my other radios couldn’t get, and it also has a rear switch to provide for external antennae reception via the included cabling. Tuning is of PLL synthesis via a large knob rotary above the VOLUME knob, and the tuning action is precise and smooth, a welcome break from the ubiquitous, maddening push-button variety. I used the M1 to M5 PRESET STATION buttons beneath the large, lighted LCD display. A rear port behind the speakers makes it very clear of what this little radio intends to do, and its ability to do it must be heard to be believed. Position this little warrior against a wall, adjust the bass to the highest level, and you want to crank it up and rock. Even with classical music. The one feature that will make any radio perfect is a DVR-like functionality, that records ongoing programming and allows rewind, so that when the radio host/hostess makes an announcement while I am working, I could rewind a few seconds and capture what he/she was saying. The addition of CD playing function would make this little warrior more triumphant, although I must conceit to the fact that radio listening through this Music Hall is so enjoyable that I am not sure I want to miss every moment of the revitalized FM experience. A credit card-like remote replicates all controls functions of the buttons on the RDR-1. I get it, Roy Hall must have thought about coining this little darling R2D2…This incredibly chic-looking little radio not only sounds very balanced for its size, with its maple veneer and cool aluminum trims, it adds a much-needed chicness and youth power to my daily routine. It’s amazing how differently I would feel around my workplace in the company of the RDR-1. Music Hall offers a dark wood trim on this little darling gadget, but I could use the lightheartedness of the maple-and-silver touch. By virtue of the fact that whenever I’m at work I would turn on the RDR-1, I now listen to the RDR-1 more than my reference audio system. So, the sleek-looking, décor-friendly, space-saving little RDR-1 accomplished the most amazing feat of becoming a most indispensable element in my daily activities. Will you please tell me if this radio has a port for headphones? Nighttime listening! According to the owner’s manual page 3 (accessed here: http://musichallaudio.com/pdfs/music-hall-audio-rdr-1-radio-manual.pdf), the unit has an “earphone jack” on the face plate. Hope this 3 years later reply helps!

I believe this fix didn't take things far enough. For example, a meta_query that does a lot of comparing on the same meta_key, will have a JOIN and a WHERE for each query array. It shouldn't have to re-join the postmeta table on each query array though, since they are based on the same meta_key. I'll attach a suggested patch that will only join if it needs to, and use the previous alias for the first meta_key joined table if it's already been joined. 24093.patch​ (1.8 KB) - added by sc0ttkclark 6 years ago. 24093.1.patch​ (1.0 KB) - added by kevinfodness 5 years ago. 24093.2.patch​ (2.2 KB) - added by vprat 5 years ago. 24093.3.patch​ (2.9 KB) - added by vprat 5 years ago. 24093.4.patch​ (2.5 KB) - added by vprat 5 years ago. 24093.5.patch​ (23.2 KB) - added by boonebgorges 5 years ago. Stumbled upon this patch/ticket while updating Codex on ​WP_Meta_Query. Nice patch! Finally. Thanks for the feedback, I'll have a look and update the patch accordingly. @sc0ttkclark Please keep in mind that the $alias will be used in all returning WHERE clauses, so that needs consideration as well. For sure, will look this patch over again and see what it'll take to bring it to it's original intention. #26281 was marked as a duplicate. I wrote a patch that uses subqueries instead of JOIN operations and seems to be significantly more efficient. It should work fine for both OR and AND operations. I tested the patch on a relatively large site running WordPress 3.8. I'd be interested to get the opinions of core contributors and see the results of unit tests to determine if this is a workable solution. The previous patch I submitted was git formatted - per guidelines I converted it to an SVN formatted patch and attached it to this issue. any update about that issue or plans to incorporate the fix in core for 3.8.x? I installed the patch and for me it works very good. I hope this update will be incorporated into the next WP release. kevinfodness Your modification works fantastic when You need to query thru multiply meta_keys but it breaks order_by meta_key statment. I need badly this fix so I have given it another look. Starting from the second patch, I have managed to fix the DB errors that have been mentionned by Mr.Defi. I have managed to fix the orderby meta issue. In the WP_Query class, for ordering, we simply use the mt0 alias instead of the main meta table name. The rest is pretty similar to what had been proposed by the original patchers. Let me know if there is any test case that fails and how to reproduce it, I'll try to fix the issue. I would love that patch to make its way into WP 4.0. This "bug" reared its ugly head after using a plugin by vprat. Using mySQL profiling I found the impact to be crippling after adding more than a few groups to a user. And keep in mind that this install is very small... like around 15 posts. I'm sure a site with more posts would get impacted much earlier as adding multiple INNER JOIN statements blow up the tempDB exponentially. I would really like to have this merged into core as soon as possible. I've tested the patch on 3.9.1 with no issues - or at least none that I could find. Sounds like we still need patch review, unit tests, and profiling data. Come on, that ticket is more than a year old and is derived from a 3 year old ticket that had an incomplete fix. Profiling data is pretty simple. A query with 6 meta query elements will simply never complete without the patch. When having 4 meta query elements, as said, it goes from a few minutes to a few milliseconds. Unit tests have been provided with the ticket referenced in the ticket of origin. I guess they are still valid. I would love if somebody could review the patch here (not my wheelhouse), and if we could get unit tests into the same patch for overall review. We are still too late for 4.0, though. It would be good to get this finally in. I happened to stuble on this when I was looking for an answer to a problem I have with a dynamically generated meta_query. When the amount of the meta_query arrays exceeds nine my local development server and my staging server both just freeze. The DB query seems to run indefinitely and I need to restart the MySQL server to get the site operational again. EDIT 1: I can confirm that vprat's latest patch fixes the issue on my development and test server. EDIT 2: The patch doesn't seem to break anything but cases WP to show errors on the admin side, example below. There's no mention of a limit in the WP Meta Query class reference. The meta_query implementation creates so bad SQL that it actually can cripple the whole server with only 9 compares. I think the type of this should be changed to bug. In general I also feel that it's weird that the meta_query implementation differs so much from the taxonomy_query implementation (f.ex. missing the support for multi level query with different compares). See #29560 for an extended set of unit tests that any change in SQL syntax has to pass. More detailed benchmarks about the switch to subqueries would make the case for a switch much more persuasive. The post linked to by ve9gra in https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/24093#comment:19 is a good start, but ideally we'd have a script for generating test data (maybe a wp-cli subcommand) for the core team to test with, and/or more detailed specs about server environment, the matrix of queries tested, etc. @sarukuku - "The patch doesn't seem to break anything but cases WP to show errors on the admin side" Can you please specify some steps to reproduce this? I would be happy to fix it. It is always somehow risky for a plugin author to play with SQL directly instead of using the WP core functions. So I feel these cases should be adressed by plugin authors (and this is why I submitted a patch to improve WP Core instead of patching my plugin with such a filter). This is very easy to reproduce. You simply need to issue a WP_Query with at least 5 clauses in the meta query. Even if you only have a few posts (10/20) in the database it will blow (will not even complete). With the patch, the query takes a few milliseconds in all cases. @vprat - It seems to be only the WPSearch plugin (​https://searchwp.com/) that is confused about the changes in the patch on the environment I tested the it. Plain WP installation doesn't seem to have any problems with the patch as far as I can see. Patch works, random plugin was confused and caused the error. The unit tests in #29560 are great for this ticket - they're showing a bunch of bugs in 24093.4.patch​ that need fixing. I'm not particularly fussed about us changing the SQL that goes through the get_meta_sql filter (I'm in favour of deprecating all filters on SQL, but that's a different discussion). We should definitely at least warn developers that it's changing, though. @vprat: Could you upload your test cases to this ticket, so that we're all looking at the same test data? It's worth noting that this will need testing on different versions of MySQL (at least the latest major versions from 5.0 to 5.7) - various optimisations for both JOINs and sub-queries have been introduced over the years, we can't assume that performance on the latest version is indicative of performance on all versions. In get_sql_for_clause(), tirst time a meta_key is referenced, create a new alias and JOIN clause. The next time you see a clause that has a meta_key that already has an alias, check to see whether the $parent_query has OR as a relation. If so, use the existing alias. Clearly, this will need some thought, and some unit tests, and maybe some compromises regarding how many JOINS we can eliminate in case of multiply-nested queries. Who is up for a Really Fun Time writing this patch? I've been thinking about this some more, and I think I've come up with a technique for consolidating JOINs that is along the lines of what I've laid out above. See #18105 for how it works in WP_Tax_Query. The check for "compatible aliases" will be more complicated here. I'll write some unit tests and see what I can do about a patch. So: in each call to get_sql_for_clause(), the JOIN logic goes like this. Does this clause have any siblings that are already doing a join and are compatible with this clause (by the rules listed above)? If so, use that alias. If not, create a JOIN clause, and store the alias for use by later siblings. So that's the first thing 24093.5.patch does. As I was writing this part of the patch - which is largely a port of - I realized that most of the rat's nest of WP_Meta_Query::get_sql_for_clause() was a result of past developers attempting, in patchwork ways, to avoid unneccessary table joins. (See, for example, the old 'key only' queries.) With the new centralized logic for finding "compatible aliases", it became possible to rewrite the SQL generation logic of WP_Meta_Query so that it actually makes sense. With 24093.5.patch, the query goes from 4 INNER JOINs to 2 (NOT IN can't share the join), which cuts execution time roughly in half. It'd be great to have someone look over the logic above and the logic of the patch to make sure I'm not missing something obvious. I'm fairly confident that what I'm proposing here is solid, and it's definitely a big performance win (even if we continue to explore additional avenues for performance improvements in WP_Meta_Query). This looks awesome @boonebgorges -- and brings up another idea that could be useful to plugins, adding a filter to the return of find_compatible_table_alias would be grand. This could allow a plugin, such as Pods, to pick up a meta fields that it covers and stores in a separate table and return a custom alias, then hook in later in the joins clauses to add it's join there. Other than that, this is the bees knees and probably wings too. Thanks so much for having a look, sc0ttkclark! The filter idea sounds fine to me. Overhaul SQL generating logic in WP_Meta_Query to avoid unnecessary table joins. clause combinations that result in shared table aliases. Remove redundant table alias check in WP_Meta_Query. Also adds documentation for 'meta_query_find_compatible_table_alias' filter. In the interest of having a ticket that we can close against the 4.1 milestone (and because the original ticket was about OR queries, which have been largely addressed by ), I'd like to move discussion of the subquery/AND issue over to #30044. Thanks, everyone.

We have designed a scaffold-free cell assembly method which can produce linear structures of individual living cells without using templates. The method involves dielectrophoretic assembly of cells suspended in a solution of a gelling agent above the gelling temperature. After the cell assembly in string-like structures was achieved with the AC electric field still applied, we gelled the solution by cooling it below its gelling point. The hydrogel entraps the assembled cell structure, preventing its disassembly and allowing further analysis without the presence of the external electric field. We pre-functionalised the cells with polyelectrolytes before the dielectrophoretic assembly which allowed us to line them up in multicellular strings and bind them together with oppositely charged polyelectrolyte after the gel formation. Finally, by dissolving the hydrogel, we released the linear chains of living cells which were collected and studied by optical and fluorescence microscopy. Cell viability tests with fluorescein diacetate confirmed that the cells in the formed worm-like structures remain viable after the cell assembly procedure. The linear cell aggregates are stable without the electric field and can be further cultured or treated with additional polyelectrolytes which make the method attractive for tissue engineering. We envisage that this technique could find possible applications for assembly of neuron cells in linear structures and more complex cell networks.

This Week at the FLEET & Beyond ~ September 11, 2013! Back to School Edition - Education News, Great Programs, Chocolate Unwrapped & UAV Day! Did You Know That California’s 8th Grade Students Rank 47th in Science Scores Out of 50 States––According to the 2012 National Assessment of Educational Progress? The Fleet is Working to Change That Status and You Can Help. We want to change this equation by providing vital science education (STEM) programs to students in need, and donations to the School Scholarship Program can help. California students outperformed only Mississippi, Alabama and the District of Columbia. Only 22% of California students scored proficient or above, and only 11% of Hispanic 8th graders scored proficient or above. In a community like ours in which science and technology plays such important economic, cultural and societal roles, these results raise more than mere concerns. The demand for STEM professionals in the U.S. and locally outpaces supply. Currently too few students have the skills that could lead to careers in the field or to even meaningfully participate in the political and social conversations that will arise if we are to meet a range of new and emerging challenges. The Fleet wants to be part of the solution by implementing a new strategic vision to provide experiences, support and programming designed to advance the competency not only of our future STEM workforce, but our community as a whole. The Fleet aspires to change the equation by inspiring and educating students and teachers through our hands-on approach to science education that will feed and maintain a steady pipeline of STEM-capable graduates and lifelong science learners. With your help we can change these statistics by making science accessible to as many local students as possible who otherwise would not have the opportunity to take part in Fleet science programs. Your generosity can be its own reward, and ensure our children’s future. Please help by making a donation today! Our YOUNG SCIENTISTS Return This Week!

A while back I asked you to send me in any questions that you are looking for an answer to and I received well over 100 responses. So, I’ve hand-picked just four to answer today and I'll come back to the others in the future. On with the questions! Mar 17 Time in the market is your money’s best friend. I interviewed a bloke for an upcoming episode of my podcast and he had a lot to say about investing in individual shares and why he used to buy them, but now no longer does. He took the advice of a good friend when she told him, back in the 1980s, just buy into today’s equivalent of an index fund and let time in the market be your money’s best friend. Low and behold, she was correct. When I realised that in order to become an investor I didn’t have to learn how to pick stocks it was like the clouds had parted and the sun had finally come out. And I have American John C. Bogle to thank for that. Last week he passed away at the age of 89 but he leaves a huge legacy behind and I know that in years to come many will still be learning from him, just like I did. The Barefoot Investor by Australian Scott Pape is an excellent book and it has been instrumental in changing the financial direction of not just Australians but also of Kiwis. Many people have asked me to work out what the Kiwi equivalents are of the providers he recommends. I’m not saying this is a conclusive list, but I’ve given it my best shot. This question was sent in by Declan a while back, but it is one that crops up in my inbox relatively consistently as well, so I thought back to what I did and what I would do if faced with the situation he is proposing again. Recently I had an excellent question from a fellow Happy Saver who had been comparing SmartShares, SuperLife and Sharesies, not so much to find the lowest fees, but to work out which has the smoothest and easiest system and which one allowed him to purchase shares in the fastest time. The very first thing I would do is set up an automatic transfer to syphon off a set amount of money each week into a sub account with your bank and give it a flash name like “IKMSMOI” (investments keep my sticky mitts off it). Two weeks ago I was giving away a book The Simple Path To Wealth by JL Collins and in order to win it I asked you to send me an email telling me the most simple strategy you have devised so far to get yourself ahead financially. I was flooded with suggestions and I thought that they were just too good not to share.

This meme is going around the blogs at the moment. My earliest political memory is at the age of 9 being informed that Margaret Thatcher had thrown in the towel and resigned as Prime Minister. I then proceeded to run around the school field in celebration. My first political memory is TBW being elected. I remember her resigning too – I was on my way to an interview for a place at Imperial College and passed an Evening Standard seller. So I bought a copy and handed it the interviewer. We had a nice chat about how she’d screwed up higher education and then he offered me a place!

Prior to 1997, Lee Shau Kee was the fourth richest person in the world. He is also a fourth-born child. There not many people in the world who were born fourth and became multi-billionaires, which has given him the nickname “Uncle Four.” In late 2012, the Bloomberg Billionaires Index put Kee in 19th place amongst the world’s richest people. His personal wealth is estimated to be $19 billion and ranked as the second wealthiest man in Hong Kong after Li Ka Shing. This real estate aficionado is the majority owner of Henderson Land Development, a property conglomerate with interests in properties, hotels, restaurants and internet services. Much of Kee’s wealth has come from investment in Mainland stocks.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman began his 20-day visit to the United States with a three-hour meeting with President Donald Trump that addressed their shared concerns over Iran and also investments of billions of dollars. Both leaders stressed the strength and potential of Saudi-US ties before sitting down for talks with their officials. On a personal note, the prince may find himself in a more exalted position than the previous monarchs in the eyes of a US president because the current occupant of the White House is man seemingly hell-bent on outdoing all his predecessors in his devotion to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Sitting side by side in the Oval Office, President Trump hailed his personal friendship with Crown Prince Mohammed and the improved relations with Saudi Arabia forged under his administration. President Trump displayed charts showing Saudi military purchases ranging from ships to missile defense to planes and fighting vehicles from the US at more than US$12.5 billion as he touted investments and economic co-operation with the Kingdom. “We are bringing back hundreds of millions of dollars into the United States… over 40,000 jobs,” he said. “Saudi Arabia is a very wealthy nation, and they’re going to give the United States some of that wealth, hopefully in the form of jobs, in the form of the purchase of the finest military equipment anywhere in the world,” he said. On his part, MBS seized the opportunity to display his knowledge of the alliance between the two countries. However, in Tuesday’s meeting, Bin Salman said the plan exceeded expectations, doubling the number of investments between Saudi Arabia and the US. Prince Mohammed, also during the course of his trip will be soliciting $35 billion in American investment to accelerate his plan to overhaul Saudi Arabia’s infrastructure — part of his laudable Vision 2030 plan, which sets in motion plans to modernize the kingdom and diversify its source of revenue far away from oil. Much of the itinerary on his two-week trip is outside of Washington. He plans to travel to New York, Boston, Silicon Valley, Los Angeles and Houston, visiting companies that include Apple, Google, and Lockheed Martin. When Will President Trump Ever Be In The News For The Right Reasons?

The real estate market is on fire in Gwinnett County and if you're new to the area you might want to know what are some of the Most Popular Subdivisions In Gwinnett to begin your search. This list contains some of the largest subdivisions and therefore they will be perennially on this list (this list is based on just number of sales) but there's some newer subdivisions as well. Most all are in great school districts and all but one feature top class amenities (swim, tennis, etc). Daniel Park - (Dacula) This is one of our team's favorite subdivisions in Gwinnett County to sell a home and to show in. Great Schools, great access to 85 and the mall it's no wonder it's on the list. Edgewater - (Lawrenceville) A classic John Wieland Sudivision in the middle of Collins Hill High School district, Edgewater doesn't usually make this list becuase of it's low turnover, but it is selling season! Flowers Crossing - (Lawrenceville) Before there was Hamilton Mill in Dacula, there was Flowers Crossing in Lawrenceville. This neighborhood features the amenities and sense of community that many try to imitate. Hamilton Mill - (Dacula) This might be the most popular neighborhood in Gwinnett (Dacula), it's certainly one of the (if not the) largest. With access to great schools, 85 and 2 sets of amenities, not to mention Golf this is one subdivison that is a must see. Rivershyre - (Lawrenceville) This lesser known neighborhood is tucked away off of Highway 20 near the Gwinnett Braves stadium and features amenities and routinely has a few great homes to choose from. Shannon Lake - (Loganville) is making the list this time with the newer development, Shannon Lake. New communities are always popular and this one is no exception. Springs At Rockhouse - A new construction community in Lawrenceville is offering affordable homes in an area with high demand. Wheatfields Reserve - This Grayson community has new and resell homes in what's possibly the nicest planned development in Grayson. Willow Leaf - This Buford community is experiencing an explosion in growth, thanks to Chafin Home Builders, who are finishing out this neighborhood. Thank you, I am sending this to someone I met over the weekend who is thinking about moving to Atlanta. Great Info! That's great. Let me know if there's anything or any questions I can answer for you or them!

Treatment-naïve patients with advanced clear-cell renal cell carcinoma had significantly longer progression-free survival when treated with pazopanib instead of temsirolimus. Added to hormone therapy, docetaxel offers a cost effective way to prolong hormone-sensitive disease and improve quality of life years, especially among men with non-metastatic disease, study finds. Patients with bladder adenocarcinomas have the best survival, whereas those with small cell carcinomas of the bladder have the worst. The safety and efficacy of nivolumab for treating metastatic renal cell carcinoma is comparable to that found in the CheckMate 025 trial. In a phase Ib study, dual therapy with axitinib and pembrolizumab was well tolerated and demonstrated antitumor activity in treatment-naïve patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma. Study reveals a 38% decreased risk of death in patients with papillary metastatic renal cell carcinoma who undergo cytoreductive nephrectomy vs those who do not. Immunotherapy with atezolizumab plus targeted therapy with bevacizumab improves progression-free survival better than sunitinib in patients with untreated metastatic renal cell carcinoma. In a small phase 2 study of overweight men with recurrent prostate cancer, consuming less than 20 grams of carbohydrates a day resulted in profound weight loss. Metastasis and death are more likely to occur among patients with relatively high PSA levels at diagnosis of nmCRPC and rising PSA levels during follow-up.

I’d mistakenly written-off ZZ Top by the time I saw them at Alpine Valley in 2003. It took less than a minute into their first song for me to realize how strikingly wrong I had been about this Texas Blues-Rock band. I’m not going to tell you anything you don’t already know about these guys. Yes, they formed in 1969. Yes, they’ve been around for over 40 years, yes they are still touring and yes, the three members have ALWAYS been Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard (listed on the back of this album as Rube Beard). What I will impart on you is the desperate suggestion of not doing what I did. Don’t write-off this band without giving them a proper listen. This is 1973, and this is American Blues-Rock at its finest. Tres Hombres (translates to “Three Men,” courtesy of The Prudent Groove) is ZZ Top’s first Top Ten record, and the band’s third release overall. Although ZZ Top’s First Album (1971) and Rio Grande Mud (1972) offered a glimpse of the unquestionable talents of these “Three Men,” it wasn’t until Tres Hombres and its soul-crushing hit, La Grange, that the music world saw just how incredible this Texas band was. La Grange is a nonstop, blood-boiling staple of Blues inspired Rock ‘n’ Roll. It’s chock-full of hard-rocking fire with a groove so catchy, you’ll swear you’re hearing it blasting from a dead-silent room. If you ask me, ZZ Top never reached the creative watermark set by La Grange, but looking back at their extensive catalog throughout their 44-year existence, they’ve come pretty damn close a number of times. Do yourself a favor and pay attention to those rumors spreading around about that brothel outside La Grange, Texas. Word has it they have a lot of nice girls-ah! Oh, and don’t forget a ten-spot for the door. So I was just at Ivanpah Dry Lake for 3 days and 2 nights and this dude from Vancouver was playing La Grange on the guitar in the camper and I was like, yo! Bangin’ tune! Such an epic groove. Good trip? And remember driving through La Grange, Wisconsin to get to that show. I have to say, that show at Alpine was the perfect mix of songs from the classic, blues-rock era, the 80’s MTV hits, and the newer, heavier stuff. If I recall, this is where you got your ZZ Top keychain.

All leafy green should be eaten in abundance but spinach is my absolute favourite because it's easy to buy. Is another leafy green beauty that is widely known for its cancer-fighting, cholesterol-lowering antioxidant-rich, detoxifying goodness. The beauty of cucumber is it's water content - 95%. That is phenomenal and you won't find that anywhere else. Is just a must! If you are serious about living with health, energy and vitality. These are good fats that will not make you gain weight. Like cucumber is a favourite because it's alkaline and really high water content. An antioxidant superpower, it is sweet, crunchy and refreshingly delicious. assalamualaikum mia...info yg baik ni..

The NSW government’s power to compulsorily acquire property for major projects has been bolstered by a recent decision of the Court of Appeal, Roads and Maritime Services v Desane Properties Pty Ltd NSWCA 196. The NSW government had announced in 2017 that an area including the property of developer Desane Properties Pty Ltd at 68-72 Lilyfield Road Rozelle (Desane) would be transformed into open space and parkland after the completion of the Rozelle Interchange section of the WestConnex project. Subsequently, Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) issued a proposed acquisition notice to Desane in order to start the compulsory acquisition process under the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991 (NSW) (the Act). Desane challenged the proposed acquisition notice in the Supreme Court of NSW. Desane contended that the proposed acquisition notice was invalid for its failure to comply with the approved form under the Act, and further that the RMS was motivated by an improper purpose in issuing the notice, being the NSW government’s promise to provide open space and parkland, rather than the construction of the Rozelle Interchange. In the first instance, the Supreme Court found in favour of Desane, finding that the proposed acquisition notice did not comply with the requirements of the Act and was therefore invalid, and further that there was an improper ulterior purpose to the proposed acquisition notice, which would otherwise invalidate it. That decision has now been overturned on appeal, with the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal, finding that the proposed acquisition notice issued by the RMS to Desane Properties Pty Ltd in respect of their property at Rozelle was valid. The Court of Appeal held that a failure to comply with the procedural requirements of the Act does not invalidate a proposed acquisition notice and, regardless, th proposed acquisition notice substantially complied with the requirements of the Act. The Court of Appeal further held that the RMS was not motivated by an improper purpose at the time of issuing the proposed acquisition notice because, on the evidence, the property would be used as a site for the construction of the Rozelle Interchange and therefore was a means to an end under a plenary power of the State. The future plans to use the property for parkland and open space following such construction did not derogate from the purpose of using the land as part of the construction site and the fact that the Rozelle Interchange project, much like most major infrastructure projects, may not in fact proceed did not invalidate the legitimacy of the RMS’s purpose in the proposed acquisition. Lastly, there is no requirement that the public purpose of a proposed acquisition be stated in the proposed acquisition notice. Moreover there is no need to identify the specific use with precision at the time of issuing the proposed acquisition notice. In this case, it was enough that the property was intended to be within a parcel of land used as a construction site for the Rozelle Interchange project. This decision gives the NSW government significant leeway in terms of not needing to strictly comply with the procedural requirements of the Act in compulsorily acquiring property for major projects including not needing to specify the public purpose for which a property is being acquired and not needing to be able to identify more than the general public purpose use to which a property is intended to be put.

For couples, the wedding is among the most wonderful and interesting occasions in their lives. It is the time when they finally offer the vow to love each other for better or worse, in sickness and in health, well, you know the rest. However on the other hand, preparing for a Myrtle Beach wedding can be a demanding experience since there are a lot of things that the couple has to think about. For one, there’s the date of the wedding event. Unless they have already decided on it, it is something that needs careful consideration. Aside from that, other things like the venue, the wedding dress, the reception menu, the number of guests as well as the sending out of the invitations, and this is just the beginning. Mind blowing isn’t it? Introducing the wedding planners. They are the ones who use their services for couples who just wish to concentrate on the event and leave everything to someone else who can do the mundane tasks. But why get a wedding organizer? It’s because they have the best connections to turn the couple’s dream wedding plans into a reality. For one, they have connections with service providers who can provide big discount rates which spells a lot of cost savings for the couple. However more than the connections, they also have the experience to turn a dull wedding event into a memorable one. They already know what will and will not work so insights from a skilled wedding event planner would be extremely important. So for couples who want a smooth sailing wedding, getting a wedding planner is indeed a must.

Peel and dice the apples into small chunks. In a saucepan, add the apples and sugar with a small splash of water. Add the cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger and simmer for around 10 – 15 minutes until the apple pieces are soft. If the saucepan looks like it’s drying out, just add another splash of water while it’s cooking. Remove from the heat and divide the apple chunks into four mugs. In the same saucepan, add the cider and heat until just before boiling point. Tip: Add whipped cream on top for a little extra indulgence or a cinnamon stick to garnish.

According to Soundsblog.it, MOTÖRHEAD canceled this past Saturday’s (June 22) appearance in Austria at the See-Rock festival and the June 25 show in Milan, Italy, due to an unspecified “haematoma” suffered by the band’s frontman, Lemmy Kilmister. The news was first broken by the See-Rock festival web site, and then the promoters of the Milan show confirmed the health issue. A haematoma is a localized collection of blood outside the blood vessels usually in liquid form within the tissue. It can happen on any part of the body, with different degrees of heath consequences. MOTÖRHEAD has set “Aftershock” as the title of its new album, tentatively due in September. The follow-up to 2010’s “The Wörld Is Yours” was recorded at Maple Sound Studios in Santa Ana, California with longtime producer Cameron Webb and will feature 13 songs, including “Dust And Glass”, “Knife”, “Going To Mexico”, “Lost Woman Blues”, “Death Machine” and “Heartbreaker”.

He said that notably, local and foreign investors invested about N38 billion into Nigerian start-ups in the second and third quarters of 2018, of which 75 per cent of the funds went into Nigerian FinTech. “The growth underscored the upward trajectory of ICT as a significant contributor to Nigeria’s GDP, currently at about 11.81 per cent as at the third quarter of 2018,’’ Mr Pantami said. He said that to complement these efforts, government had identified the need for concerted actions and policies to promote local contents as the core pillar of economic diversification. “You may recall that in 2013, NITDA issued the Guidelines for Nigerian Content Development in ICT, essentially mandating agencies of government to compulsorily prioritise indigenous ICTs for procurement where available in-country. “The regulation mandates a compulsory consideration of indigenous hardware, software, networking service, ICT services and data management first before any non-Nigerian service provider. “The policy has resulted in the growth of the purchase of indigenous contents in the public sector. “The year 2018 recorded the highest figures of purchase of indigenously-assembled hardware and software with a total of 355,647 units sold, compared to 154,424 in the previous year. “Implementation of this policy has also ensured that 95 per cent of the Federal Government’s data is hosted locally,’’ Mr Pantami said. He said with the issuance of the Presidential Executive Orders 003 and 005; the Nigerian Content Guidelines of NITDA received a significant boost and had strengthened the arm of the agency in implementing the guidelines. According to the director-general, the IT Project Clearance Process of NITDA has saved the country over N13billion of bogus spending. Mr Pantami noted that the clearance process had ensured that over N5 billion worth of software-related projects would be procured from Nigerian companies from 2018 till date. He said that all these would have been impossible but with the consistent and unwavering support of President Muhammadu Buhari, who had given the agency and the IT industry relentless support to implement far-reaching policies for the development of the country. Mr Pantami also congratulated the financial service industry as led by the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, in granting spaces to young and keen minds to develop products that had continually redefined the Financial Technology Space (FinTech). “The growth of our FinTech market has been in no small measure due to the willingness of financial institutions to become fodder for these adventurists to step up and spin brilliant ideas that have shaped how we pay for services and conduct transactions. “We have come a long way and we are proud of these achievements occasioned largely by the ICT and the financial sectors working together. He, however, assured that all necessary solution reached at the Roundtable discussion would be relayed to the president with utmost urgency. The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the theme of the two-day roundtable was: “Adoption and Development of Local Content Technology as Growth Drivers for the Nigerian Economy’’.

Researchers at MIT in the US have developed a new way of measuring atomic-scale magnetic fields at room temperature with great precision, not only up and down but sideways as well, by using fluorescence. The new tool could be used for characterising new magnetic materials and probing exotic quantum physical phenomena. The technique builds on a platform already developed to probe magnetic fields with high precision, using tiny defects in diamond called nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centres. These defects consist of two adjacent places in the diamond’s orderly lattice of carbon atoms where carbon atoms are missing; one of them is replaced by a nitrogen atom, and the other is left empty. This leaves missing bonds in the structure, with electrons that are extremely sensitive to tiny variations in their environment, be they electrical, magnetic, or light-based. Previous uses of single NV centres to detect magnetic fields have been extremely precise but only capable of measuring those variations along a single dimension, aligned with the sensor axis. But for some applications, such as mapping out the connections between neurons by measuring the exact direction of each firing impulse, it would be useful to measure the sideways component of the magnetic field as well. The new method solves that problem by using a secondary oscillator provided by the nitrogen atom’s nuclear spin. The sideways component of the field to be measured nudges the orientation of the secondary oscillator. By knocking it slightly off-axis, the sideways component induces a kind of wobble that appears as a periodic fluctuation of the field aligned with the sensor, thus turning that perpendicular component into a wave pattern superimposed on the primary, static magnetic field measurement. This can then be mathematically converted back to determine the magnitude of the sideways component. In order to read out the results, the researchers use an optical confocal microscope that makes use of a special property of the NV centres: When exposed to green light, they emit a red glow, or fluorescence, whose intensity depends on their exact spin state. These NV centres can function as qubits, the quantum-computing equivalent of the bits used in ordinary computing.

20,000 workers are robbed of award protection every month. Family life is increasingly dominated by work at the expense of our children and elderly. These trends, especially for women, are set to worsen due to the federal government`s IR laws. One year on, women are the biggest losers, according to a report on the impact of the federal government’s IR changes. Research by Professor David Peetz from Queensland’s Griffith Business School analyses the first 10 months of WorkChoices. It finds that almost 20,000 workers a month are losing award coverage with the rate of pay for women taking the biggest hit. the share of national income going to profits is at an all time high. Professor Peetz says a comprehensive analysis of the impacts of the federal IR laws is being impeded by the withholding of official information by the Howard government and its agencies. ‘Nonetheless, these are the patterns we would expect to see from a transfer of power from employees to corporations,’ he said. His research is backed up by an ACTU analysis of Australian Bureau of Statistics data in the 12 months since the introduction of WorkChoices. The analysis shows that the gap between full-time wages for women and men has blown out to $100 a week. Full-time women workers now earn on average 10% less than their male colleagues. This has taken Australia back to the same pay gap in percentage terms that existed in 1978. The ACTU says, with almost one in four women (23%) reliant on awards (compared to only 15% of men), the erosion of award conditions such as penalty rates, leave loading and public holiday payments is having a serious impact on women’s take-home pay. This is exacerbated by the federal government’s refusal to include in the new minimum legal standards, rights to family-flexible working conditions that were won in the ACTU Work and Family Test Case. a rise in profits to record levels.

It’s been said that common sense isn’t all that common. I was recently reminded of this in a disturbing way. The people who run Tampa International Airport have installed an innovative device in their bathrooms. It’s called The Pouch. I could immediately see its usefulness. Putting a backpack, briefcase, or other small carryon in this device will keep it clean and dry. I noticed a sticker affixed to The Pouch. It pictured a baby with the universal “don’t do this” symbol on it. Seriously? People need to be told not to put a baby in there? Does this mean someone actually tried it? Yikes! While this an extreme example, it once again showed me that people don’t always make decisions rooted in common sense. Common sense is often lacking in many areas of life and work. One is hiring. I frequently observe organizations engaging in hiring practices that defy common sense. Does this mean that the leaders who engage in the methods are bad people? Maybe even dumb? No. Of course not. The issue is that habits often interfere with our innate instincts. The very instincts that are at the core of common sense decision-making. We get so used to doing something a certain way, we don’t see that there’s an alternative. Frequently, it takes someone pointing out that there’s a better way. Here are five of my most frequently shared common sense hiring ideas I’m sharing with leaders. Change is inevitable, including that people will change jobs. Your best employees could leave today, tomorrow, or next week. No matter how loyal you believe them to be. Given the immediate, negative impacts of an open job, it no longer makes sense to wait until a job opens to fill it. In today fast-paced world, common sense dictates that you must line up talent before you need it. Most people understand that feelings aren’t facts. Yet, they allow their gut feelings, such as liking someone, to dictate who they hire. Sure, liking a candidate is a good thing. But likeability isn’t proof that someone fits a job. Common sense selection requires having a list of clear criteria that help you pick the right people regardless of what your feelings are telling you. Ask leaders if one resource, such as a job board or referrals, can be relied upon to fill every open job every single time. Most of these leaders will acknowledge it’s dangerous to put all of your eggs in that one basket. However, watch many of these same leaders in action, and you’ll observe contradictory behavior. They rely on that one resource to the exclusion of everything else. Here’s habit in action, trumping common sense. Filling jobs quickly with high-quality talent requires tapping into more than one talent stream. Conventional job interviews are an inaccurate way of determining fit. Why? Both the jobseeker and hiring manager are putting their best selves forward. This gives each party a narrow view of reality. It should be no surprise that many hires fail, given that a decision was made based upon limited information. The common sense way to interview is to seek proof of fit. Having candidates show you they can do the job allows you to experience them in action, while they get to try on the job for size. How many times have you tried to change many things all at once? I’m betting that didn’t turn out well. Fast change doesn’t stick. It takes time to adjust your routines and change your hiring habits. A rapid series of changes will overwhelm you. When your sense of being overwhelmed reaches a tipping point, you’ll give up and revert back to your previous routine. Better to change one thing at a time and have it stick, than rush the process and have to start all over again. Access to your common sense is immediately available any time you need it. You just have to get out of your own way. The beauty is the inherent simplicity that comes with it. Common sense solutions are the easiest to employ, once you realize the only thing standing in their way is you.

Happy Monday everyone! There’s still time to register for the BEYOND20 SIXTEEN conference in May! As media partners we have an exclusive offer for you; if you enter the code ITSMReview when registering you will get $100 off the ticket price. Will you be going to BEYOND20 SIXTEEN next month? Let us know in the comments! Ahead of the BEYOND20 SIXTEEN ITSM and DevOps conference in May, I was lucky enough to catch up with Sherry Chang of Intel to talk about her session; Automating Change Control. Sherry’s session will look at how automation can transform a Change process from blocker to key enabler. During the presentation, Sherry will look at how automation can support the Standard Change model to enable more Changes to pass through the service pipeline without sacrificing effectiveness, quality or safety. For those of you who are new to the Standard Change model they are simply pre assessed, pre authorised activities that are low risk, relatively common and follow an agreed procedure or work instruction. So far so good right? Sherry will give practical guidance on setting up your organisation to follow the Standard Change approach and will look at how these virtual quality gates can work as a more efficient approach to Change volumes over human scrutiny. As DevOps becomes the more preferred way of delivering value, Automated Governance will become more and more important in driving Continuous Delivery; Sherry’s aim is to empower attendees by sharing tips, tricks and case studies in making Change quick, effective and successful. You want an action packed, practitioner overview of how to move to a more Continuous Delivery stream using Standard Changes.

This entry was posted in song of the day and tagged Knocks Me Off My Feet, mmrd1, montaukmadness, Songs in the Key of Life, Stevie Wonder, Talking Heads. I’m going Talking Heads here, though I’m fine with either advancing. I’m voting for Stevie for the same reason you voted for Talking Heads. While I appreciate that musical innovation, there are only a few Talking Heads’ songs I can honestly say I seek out. Stevie, on the other hand, is innovative and endlessly, toe tappingly enjoyable. Two nights in a row, 21 Hearts One Beat closed their show with “Signed, Sealed, Delivered,” and the audience – young, old, and in between – were dancing and singing along. For me – Stevie hands down. The sheer genius and consistency of his work in the 70’s is still a high water mark in the industry. I feel bad voting against David Byrne twice in this competition especially considering how much I enjoy his music regardless what medium he’s producing it through. However, I couldn’t in any good conscience vote against Stevie Wonder. He’s a musical genius and there’s no denying that someone of that level of talent should go on to the next round. He didn’t win two best albums of the year Grammys in a row for no reason.

Many conditions may change while you're outdoors that will affect your body temperature. Having the proper clothing will keep you at a comfortable temperature. When we think of changing conditions, we generally think of the weather. As the temperature changes, you have to be concerned about being too warm, or not warm enough. Rain or snow may also move in getting you wet and making trails slippery or slushy. Winds may also change, either due to the weather or your location. The temperature in the sun can be much warmer than that in the shade. You should assume, for any outing, that you may be in and out of the sun, so you should be prepared for both. If you start out for a long hike in the sunshine, where you are warm and dry, you might be tempted to leave your warmer layers behind, but don't be fooled; an extended hike into the woods can cool you off drastically. So can the clouds that weren't in sight when you started your hike. Temperatures and wind can change as you climb up and down the mountains in Montana. Don't forget to plan for a variety of activities while you're outdoors. You may not feel the need for the warmer layers as you hike in the sunshine to your camp or fishing spot, but as you sit around after you're settled in you might not feel so warm.

Sky News correspondent Nick Martin gave three pieces of advice to those looking to get into mobile reporting at news:rewired – media in motion. He identified how essential it is that journalists are engaging in mobile reporting and shared some of his experiences reporting from various stories using just an iPhone, including the London Riots. Nick Martin also highlighted the importance of investigating accessories that can be added to enhance the quality of video and sound. One example he showed was an adapter to be able to plug in an XLR cable to record high quality audio. Martin’s one big piece of advice is to practise. The key to getting better with mobile reporting is to “take the rough with the smooth”. He also advised beginners not to panic. While it can seem daunting at times, Martin showcased examples where there was no choice but for reporters to get involved with recording video from their mobiles, such as when reporting from numerous locations on one story with only one cameraman. Martin told a story of how he was covering the deportation of two buses of illegal immigrants in America with one cameraman. They each went on one bus and it was his bus that gave the more interesting story – “like a scene from Scarface”. Martin was left with no choice but to use his iphone footage. Martin’s final piece of advice was to use mobile reporting only when it was appropriate. He said it is not worth setting up a tripod and XLR cables for an iPhone when the cameraman is just five minutes away and time could be much better spent working out the story and what has happened.

Although there are many good reasons for you to buy a home, wealth building ranks among the top of the list. We call home ownership the best "accidental investment" most people ever make. But, we believe when it is done right, home ownership becomes an "intentional investment" that lays the foundation for a life of financial security and personal choice. There are solid financial reasons to support your decision to buy a home, and, among these, equity buildup, value appreciation, and tax benefits stand out. The typical real estate transaction involves at least two dozen separate individuals - insurance assessors, mortgage brokers and underwriters, inspectors, appraisers, escrow officers, buyer's agents, seller's agents, bankers, title researchers, and a number of other individuals whose actions and decisions have to be orchestrated in order to perform in harmony and get a home sale closed. It is the responsibility of your real estate agent to expertly coordinate all the professionals involved in your home purchase and to act as the advocate for you and your interests throughout. You may think that shopping for homes starts with jumping in the car and driving all over town. And it's true that hopping in the car to go look is probably the most exciting part of the home-buying process. However, driving around is fun for only so long - if weeks go by without finding what you're looking for, the fun can fade pretty fast. That's why we say that looking for your home begins with carefully assessing your values, wants, and needs, both for the short and long terms. When searching for your dream home, you were just that - a dreamer. Now that you're writing an offer, you need to be a businessperson. You need to approach this process with a cool head and a realistic perspective of your market. The three basic components of an offer are price, terms, and contingencies (or "conditions" in Canada). Closing costs - it's standard for buyers to pay their closing costs, but if you want to roll the costs into the loan, you need to write that into the contract.

The word “funyak” has come to mean several things through marketing and whitewater product development. Some consider a funyak to be a molded plastic boat made for lakes and ponds – fun “touring” kayak, essentially. However, most consider a “Funyak” to be an inflatable whitewater craft, appearing and functioning similar to a white water river kayak – a “fun” kayak. They are built for fun and stability for whitewater trips. Funyaks are stable whitewater craft designed to bring the possibility of river kayaking to novice paddlers. Individuals can buy an inexpensive Funyak to use on lakes or on mild whitewater. They are easily transported and easy to maneuver through mild rapids. They do not require a skirt over a closed cockpit which seals in the paddler. The cockpit in a Funyak is open so the Eskimo roll is not necessary to right the boat while still in it. The open cockpit Funyak is stable and rarely turns over in mild rapids and is easily righted if it capsizes. A further advantage of Funyaks is the soft material – rather than a hard plastic shell as on a “Sit-On-Top” plastic kayak, the soft material is comfortable and allows you to stretch out and recline between rapids or paddling sections. There is also room in the cockpit to carry items for a short whitewater excursion – food, drink, extra gear, squirt guns, etc. Funyaks come in many different models, sizes and have a wide price range. Inexpensive inflatable kayaks can cost under $200 each. These will not last long as construction is cheap and patching the cheaper materials is difficult and not permanent. High end inflatable kayaks, “Funyaks” can retail for over $1,200 for one person boats and over $1,500 for two person boats. These more expensive crafts are used by outfitters such as Crab Apple Whitewater Rafting in New England. This choice is due to the combination of the Funyaks’ durability and stability for guest use. These craft can last for last for many, many seasons without ever being patched or repaired. Funyaks were originally designed for folks that have little or no kayak or whitewater experience. The Funyaks were stable, with a wide beam, open cockpit and had a standard or non-bailing floor. Buckets or pails were used to remove water from the bottom of the Funyaks if they took on water in rapids. Self-bailing Funyaks became the norm in the 1990’s – these allow water to enter the raft, but quickly drain out by having an inflated floor that runs water out through drain holes. This floor design change allows a wider variation on Funyak models and design. With a self-bailing floor, boats can still be made to be very stable for folks new to paddling whitewater rivers and they can be advanced to take on big whitewater challenges – up to Class IV and V whitewater rapids for expert paddlers. Funyaks can range in size from roughly 10 feet to 14 feet in length. The width or beam ranges from 2.5 feet to 3.5 feet on most models. Funyaks can weigh 25-45 pounds depending on material and size. More rugged material will weigh more – and last longer in the whitewater rapids. Funyaks can be stored or transported laying flat or rolled up tight.

Some 3,839 new vehicles were registered in Qatar last month, the Ministry of Development Planning and Statistics said while noting this was 14.1% lower than in the previous month. In June, some 4,471 new vehicles were registered in Qatar. MDPS, in its monthly statistical bulletin, said there was a significant increase in the number of sold properties in July. The number stood at 238, a 76.3% increase compared to June. The bulletin shows a decrease in the total value of sold properties, which has stood at nearly QR1.83bn in July, down 48.8% on the previous month. According to MDPS, Qatar’s population stood at 2.4mn in July, up 6.3% on the same period last year. In July, 2016 the country’s population stood at about 2.3mn. MDPS statistics showed that Qatar recorded a total of 2,205 births in July and as many as 172 deaths in the same month. The total number of registered marriages was 299 in July, while the total number of divorce cases was 63 during the same month. On the beneficiaries of social security, the bulletin put their number at 13,649 in July. The total value of social security reached nearly QR78.3mn in July. With regard to electricity and water consumption, the bulletin said the total electricity utilisation during July was 4,521.8GWh, attaining a monthly increase of 4.6% compared with June. Total water consumption reached 45,304,7000m3 during the same month, registering a monthly decrease of 3.3%. The number of building permits was 629 during July, up 53% on June. A total of 451 traffic cases were recorded during July, resulting in a monthly decrease of 7.4% compared to June. At the same time, as many as 11 deaths in relation to traffic cases were registered last month. MDPS said the total number of visitors to Qatar was 1.57mn in July, the largest number (about 42%) arriving from the GCC countries. Total broad money supply (M2) recorded about QR532bn during July, showing an annual increase of 8.3% compared with the same period in 2016. On the other hand, “cash equivalents” (including deposits) were valued at QR772.5bn in July. This shows an annual increase of 12.8% in comparison with July last year, when it stood at nearly QR685bn.

This week I've decided to continue on with my Jones family line and do a post on my 3rd great grandmother, Mary H Mitchel Jones. I remember the first time I ever came across her name was on the death certificate for her son, my 2nd great grandfather, Alexander Hamilton Jones. What a great moment to have at last a name. I wanted her to grow and become so much more to me, so I continued digging. Source Information: Ancestry.com. North Carolina, Death Certificates, 1909-1975 [database on-line]. I have often wondered if this entry from the North Carolina County Marriage Index is for my 3rd great grandparents. Source Information: Ancestry.com. North Carolina, Marriage Collection, 1741-2004 [database on-line]. I've wondered if the middle initial "H" was for Hawkins. Perhaps this record was for another couple altogether. Mary and Cesar Jones became property owners before 1900, a fact of which I am quite proud of. I learned of this when I reviewed Mary's will. Upon their deaths, my 3rd great grandparents were able to pass down a house and a lot, as well as 9 shares of Shepard's Point Land Company stock to their kids. You can read about the details of her will on my post Amanuensis Monday: The Will Of Mary Mitchel Jones. Here's an example of a Shepard's Point Land Company Stock Certificate.

Ciprofloxacin (Cipro) is a relatively inexpensive intravenous, oral, and topical fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat a myriad of conditions ranging from complicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) and infectious diarrhea to intraabdominal infections and even the plague and inhalational anthrax post-exposure. This class of bactericidal medications works by inhibiting DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. Generally, fluoroquinolones also have excellent oral bioavailability but must be administered cautiously in patients receiving cations (ie, oral calcium or magnesium repletion) as these can reduce drug absorption. Contraindications include hypersensitivity/allergies to fluoroquinolones or if a patient is already taking the muscle relaxant tizanidine (concentrations are significantly increased with ciprofloxacin). Additionally, ciprofloxacin has black box warnings outlining muscle weakness exacerbations that can be induced in patients with preexisting myasthenia gravis, peripheral neuropathy, and tendon rupture (most commonly the Achilles). As an intensivist, I most commonly write ciprofloxacin for complicated genitourinary infections, but among the fluoroquinolones, I tend to use it less frequently overall than levofloxacin. With that said, practicing good antibiotic stewardship is a priority! If the site of interest can achieve a tissue concentration to treat a clinical infection that is susceptible to ciprofloxacin, then I’ll certainly use it! With quinolone resistance on the rise, providing the narrowest spectrum antibiotic for the shortest course is important.

When a tractor doesn’t start, troubleshooting should begin with an examination of the Kubota safety switches. Owners sometimes report intermittent starting issues that are traced back to one of the switches. Although a Kubota safety switch is an integral part of the tractor’s design, it is suddenly an issue when it prevents a tractor from operating. Every manufacturer faces the dilemma of how to keep riders safe while not inconveniencing them with excessive switch activations. An efficient diagnosis of the problem saves time and helps get your machine back to being productive. Learn more about Kubota tractor safety switch locations from your authorized Kubota dealer in Houston, Bobby Ford Tractor & Equipment. On most Kubota tractors, making an adjustment or replacing a defective safety switch is quite manageable. When a tractor doesn’t start because of unwanted switch activation, it may be necessary to eliminate each switch as the possible culprit systematically. Sometimes the switch and its wiring are okay. On several Kubota tractors, merely adjusting seat tension will minimize unwanted switch activations. Here are a few examples of Kubota safety switch issues that could be slowing you down. There are multiple switches on the Kubota B7800, including seat, PTO, rocker pedal and transmission switches. If a single safety switch is not in neutral, the tractor will not start. Sometimes, a switch is very close to moving in and out of neutral – so much so that you will experience intermittent starts. To identify which switch is the problem, clean them by blowing them out with compressed air. First, jump the seat switch to remove it from the circuit, then proceed through a process of elimination. Locations of safety switches vary from model to model. For example, on the Kubota B7800, the clutch safety switch is under the left floorboard. A tab of the clutch pedal operates it. The most prominent safety switch on many Kubota tractors is located right under the seat. To troubleshoot Kubota safety switch issues, it is often necessary to check both the switches and the wiring. For example, on an L3940, two wires run from the seat frame to the exposed switch. Also, another set of wires run into the seat bottom. On an L3200 HST, one owner with a starting issue rocked the foot pedal back and forth. When it would just not start, he used an ohm meter to confirm the safety switch on the clutch was functional. He then went on to troubleshoot other safety switches on the tractor. With this and other models, you want to confirm that the interlock switches for the PTO, seat and cruise control are all cleaned, adjusted and operational. Sometimes, sensitivity issues require adjustments to improve switch engagement. For example, on a BX2360, the sensitivity of the safety switch on the PTO lever is addressed by bending the tab for better contact. On sidehill jobs, it is essential to use the seatbelt to avoid lifting from the seat long enough to activate the safety switch. Finally, there have been reports of other brands switching off when a relatively light individual hits a big bump that momentarily lifts the rider off the seat. However, lighter-weight Kubota operators have weighed in on this issue (pardon the pun) without reporting unwanted switch-off problems. If you suspect you have a safety switch problem, or your Kubota tractor will not start for any reason, the Kubota tractor mechanics at Bobby Ford Tractor and Equipment can help. When you are looking for Kubota Tractors in Houston, look to Bobby Ford Tractor and Equipment for prompt, professional and knowledgeable assistance. Contact us today!

Thursday, Dec. 22, 2005 dawned cold and clear as I headed up to the Pecos River high bridge launch site for my paddle to Seminole Canyon and Seminole Cave. I had been planning this for a long time and was really looking forward to seeing the caves again. I launched at 9:02 and headed down the Pecos to the confluence of the Rio Grande, then headed left down the river. Amistad Lake has backed up both rivers so there isnt any flow, just flat water and high canyon walls. I had the river to myself this morning except for some goats high up the canyon wall in a cave and a pair of hawks circling above. The river was calm and clear until I turned the corner and entered the Rio Grande. Here the wind picked up a little and made the first couple of miles pretty chilly as I was in the shade from the high cliffs on the Texas side. However, by 10:30 I was able to shuck the fleece and enjoy the sunshine and warmth. Several miles downriver I was surprised to see a large power line going across into Mexico, but soon saw there were several large houses there. Around the bend I saw a couple of houses on the Texas side. I remember a Mexican rancher tried for years in the 70s to get a line run from the US side, and I guess he finally did. I dont know who owns the houses, but they would make a nice place to stay as they are on a small side canyon. The Texas side of the river is prettier with its many caves and erosion features. The Mexican side is shorter and has no caves at all-both sides are the same rock, so I dont know why. The caves arent caused by river erosion as they are too high above the old river bed-the Mexican side being lower would mean the river would have had to be several miles wide to carve the caves that high up. You can see evidence in many of them of water seeping out leaving stains so I imagine this is how they were formed. Its amazing how much a little seepage can erode the soft limestone pockets (there isnt enough rain to help speed the process)-many of these caves are as big as houses. There are a few that can be accessed by boat and will be explored on another trip. The cliffs are so steep and the original river so far below that few have been inhabited or used as rock shelters. They would still be interesting to explore and take photos from. About a mile down from the confluence of the rivers is Parida Cave on the Texas side. There is a boat dock there and you can access the small kayak landing on the left of the big rock on the left of the ramp. As I had explored this on a previous trip, I didnt even stop. There is a wonderful canyon on the Mexican side of the river that is well worth exploring for its beautiful high walls and incredible erosion features-many look like works of art. There are a couple of canyons on the Mexican side that will require further exploration and two short ones on the Texas side that I did explore and found some interesting caves in them. One would make a great hike out of the canyon and offer a wonderful view of the river. The cave, Pink Cave, would be fun to explore and supposedly has some paintings in it. Since it doesnt have a landing and the water was cold, I didnt get out of the boat to explore it this time. In warmer weather this would be easy to do. Many of the caves that are accessible and would be fun to explore require getting out of the boat and getting wet up to your waist as you scramble up the rock piles. Seminole Cave is one of the best examples of cave art in the US as it is in a large under hang and the dry weather has protected them for thousands of years. There are dozens of paintings along the wall with the Panther being the most famous. The park service has a nice boat dock here as this is the only way to access the paintings-there is no trail to the cave. The cave is fenced off to protect from vandalism, but the mesh is large enough to take photos through and there are several signs explaining the paintings and some history. I remember growing up in Del Rio we used to go up and touch the paintings - this was way before we knew we werent supposed to! It is difficult but not impossible for a kayak to land here. There are two places on either side of the dock where you could get out into the water and then climb up the rock. Since it was still cold and didnt want to get wet, I got under the docks ramp and used it to pull myself up out of my boat onto the steps that go down into the water. That wasnt a pretty site and Im glad no one else was there at the time! Getting back in was a lot easier. After eating lunch, I headed up Seminole Canyon to see if there are any places to camp and found a great place where the water ends. It gets real shallow at a wide flat spot and there is plenty of camping room as well as the canyon to explore. If one could camp here, this trip would be an easy overnighter and allow plenty of time to explore the canyons on the Mexican. As it is, it is a long day trip-it took me 11 minutes shy of 7 hours to complete the 19 mile round trip with a hour stop for lunch at Seminole Cave. I averaged 3.9 mph and was feeling the fast pace by the end of the day. Exploring the side canyons and some of the caves would add a couple more hours to the trip, so spending the night in Seminole Canyon would really make the trip more pleasurable. This is a wonderful and beautiful trip and well worth the effort because of the scenery and the cave paintings. There is plenty of parking at the put-in along with a potty. Theres an incredible view at the put-in of the high bridge and the high canyons. There isnt a potty at Seminole Cave however there are some places to get out of the kayak and answer the call. I will be doing this trip again Memorial Weekend and hope to explore the side canyons. no, unless you are fishihng. The Mexican game wardens are getting strict about fishing w/o a Mexican fishing license.

Developments in the field of risk management have caused phenomenal growth in multi-peril and specialist insurance policies for commercial organisations. The proliferation of policies available - along with an awareness of their value - means up-to-date, comprehensive knowledge of insurance matters and forensic accounting is required to ensure the right coverage. Quantifying the value of an organisation's business interruption exposures can be quite complex, complicated further by the variety of methods available to insure them. The challenge is finding the best approach and fit for your business. Gain a model that can be used to accurately calculate the appropriate business interruption declared values in future years. Provide a benchmark for claim methodology that will expedite the settlement of any claim. Aon's experienced team of qualified chartered and forensic accountants and insurance professionals can conduct a review that will determine the adequacy/appropriateness of insurance cover in light of actual business interruption exposures, and periodically review business interruption insurance coverage to determine whether all insurable risks are transferred efficiently where intended. To find out how Aon can help you quantify and mitigate your organisation's business interruption exposures, contact us today.

I’m going on a month and a half of no sugar. It’s forced me to be more inventive in the kitchen. I’ve always loved to cook but now that I can taste food better, i‘m really into experimenting with flavors. This recipe resulted from me prepping tons of spaghetti squash one Sunday and I didn’t know what to do with it all! It’s so easy and so delicious. If you make it please let me know what you thought! Enjoy! I had already meal prepped my spaghetti squash but just in case you’re making it as you go I’ll give you my tried and true recipe for baking it in the oven. Step 1: cut your spaghetti squash in half (not lengthwise). I know a lot of people do lengthwise but I personally think it makes for a longer “noodle” when it’s halved horizontally. Step 2: hallow out the inside and rid of the “guts”. Step 3. Add a little grape seed or avocado oil, salt, and pepper. Step 3: did you notice I didn’t say preheat oven? Yeah, I don’t. Place your pan of halved squash in the oven and set it to 460 degrees for 40 minutes. *if the squash is overly large you may need longer* That’s it! It comes out so tender and with a delicious naturally carmelized flavor. Scramble eggs in coconut oil. I like to slow cook mine on low-medium so they turn out nice and fluffy! Salt and pepper to tast! While your eggs are cooking, combine a tablespoon of avocado oil with diced white onions and your chicken sausage (sliced into coins). Cook to your liking. I like mine a tiny bit blackened. I add salt, pepper, and garlic and herb seasoning to taste. Add some of your favorite hot sauce for a kick! My favorite right now is anything Siete makes or good ol cholula! You all really loved our Halloween Faves post so we’re back to share our Thanksgiving and Autumn inspired faves! We read a book to Ever every single night along with her daily devotional so we keep the bookshelves in her freshly stocked with relevant books. The thought behind that is so that we can educate her on the current and upcoming holiday or event. I also like to pull books from her library that coordinate with the colors and overall vibe of the collection. These will be up until the day after Thanksgiving. Do you have any favorites that we’re missing? Comment below so we can grow our collection too! Bad weather is on the way and the autumn stores are still not gathered in! Quickly, all the mice of Brambly Hedge set to work to finish the harvesting before the rain begins. Primrose, Lord Woodmouse's daughter, meant to help, but somehow she daydreamed her way over the cornfield and into the Chestnut Woods, and before she knew it, she was lost. The sun went down, the wind rose and it began to rain. Primrose was all alone in the dark and she was frightened. Poor Primrose, would she find her way home again? Words are powerful. They can hurt or they can heal. It's time to tell a special tale that will warm the hearts of readers of all ages. Seeds and Trees revels in the power of words. It explores their effects on feelings and emotions. And it does so though the journey of two different seeds. ​Every year a family and their friends gather in the woods to celebrate Thanksgiving among the trees. Everyone brings something to share and the day becomes a long celebration of family, faith, and friendship. Told in a gentle, lyrical style, this picture book includes warm illustrations of people gathered around bonfires and long tables adorned with candles and food, singing songs and sharing laughter. Every year around this time, some special happens in the forest. When the leaves begin to change color, the animals come together to celebrate. Join in on the fun and find out what happens on this very special time of year. Lauren Stringer celebrates the coming of autumn in this exuberant, joyful ode to that magical time when the leaves are changing color and the animals are preparing for winter. Children and animals alike excitedly anticipate yellow time, when the trees release their colorful leaves to blanket the earth, crows raise their voices joyfully from the bare branches, and squirrels busy themselves preparing their nests for winter. This lyrical celebration of the beauty and fun of autumn is sure to become a perennial fall favorite. As trees sway in the cool breeze, blue jays head south, and leaves change their colors, everyone knows--autumn is on its way! Join a young girl as she takes a walk through forest and town, greeting all the signs of the coming season. In a series of conversations with every flower and creature and gust of wind, she says good-bye to summer and welcomes autumn. -Cotton Candy (I like to order mine from the Splurge Works App! This one is pumpkin flavor! Step 1: Mix 2 ounces of vodka with 1 1/2 tablespoons (or 3/4 ounces) of fresh lemon juice. Shake shake shake! Halloween is dare I say my favorite holiday to decorate for. It allows for such whimsical decor and the color palette possibilities are endless. I typically decorate with things I paint myself and this year Ever got to paint too! I try and aim for making Halloween more cute than spooky. And I like to use things Ever likes so she thinks I’m a cool mom. I’ve linked and listed as many sources as I could find! Pillows Homegoods finds and man was that a good day! Haha! Happy Halloween from the Hummels! The first time we did a reading list of our favorite books was for Father's Day. It was so much fun and so well received that I thought we would do it year round for every season and holiday! Around here books become part of the decor. Halloween is a favorite in our house and the books are no exception. We've rounded up our favorites (obviously Coco and Minnie Mouse made the cut) and are excited to share with you! Enjoy! A warm-hearted best seller. Gilbert goes to ghost school like all the other ghosts, but he's a special ghost: he doesn't like to screech in a scary way, he doesn't want to haunt and was always polite. What will happen to Gilbert when he's sent by the principal of school to the Abandoned Tower? Oh, to be a ballerina! It's a challenge for any little girl, but even more so if you happen to be a vampire like Vampirina. First of all, you have to find a class that meets at night. Then you have to figure out how to perfect your form when you can't see yourself in the mirror? And then there's wearing pink (not the most flattering of colors if you happen to be undead) and that nagging urge to take a little nip out of the other dancers. And worse of all… STAGE FRIGHT!!! What do you do when you meet a ghost? One: Provide the ghost with some of its favorite snacks, like mud tarts and earwax truffles. Two: Tell your ghost bedtime stories (ghosts love to be read to). Three: Make sure no one mistakes your ghost for whipped cream or a marshmallow when you aren't looking! If you follow these few simple steps and the rest of the essential tips in How to Make Friends with a Ghost, you'll see how a ghost friend will lovingly grow up and grow old with you. A whimsical story about ghost care, Rebecca Green's debut picture book is a perfect combination of offbeat humor, quirky and sweet illustrations, and the timeless theme of friendship. Bonaparte is having a tough time. It’s hard for this young skeleton to just hang loose when he can’t keep hold of himself. When he plays catch, his throwing arm literally takes a flyer. Eating lunch can be a real jaw-dropping occasion. How can he start school when he has so many screws loose? Luckily, Bonaparte hit the bone-anza when it came to his friends. Franky Stein, Black Widow, and Mummicula all have some boneheaded ideas to help pull him together. But will it be enough to boost his confidence and get him ready for the first day of school? With these words, Chiro's mother sends him off into the night for the first time alone. It's an adventure, but how will he find his way? And how will he find his way home? As the young bat discovers, navigating the world around him is easy as long as he uses his good sense. This beautiful and touching coming-of-age story, with mesmerizing artwork from New York Times bestselling illustrator Loren Long and lyrical text from Ari Berk, conveys a heartwarming and universal message: No matter how far away you go, you can always find your way home. Black Cat—black from the tips of his ears to the tip of his tail—only ever goes out in the day. But White Cat—white from her whiskers to her four furry paws—only ever goes out at night. He picks daisies, while she gazes at the stars. When they both feel the urge to explore a world beyond their own, Black Cat and White Cat go on a journey of discovery and meet for the very first time. Vividly illustrated with bold black-and-white art, each page paves the way toward a surprise (and surprisingly colorful) ending. When Oscar hears a blackbird singing in the meadow, Bat swoops in to talk to him about sound. A sudden thunderstorm and a visiting cow give Oscar lots of opportunities to learn about sounds that are loud or soft, near or far, deep or high. Back matter includes an index and supplemental activities. Boo! It's Halloween! And that means it's time for Minnie's Annual Halloween Costume Contest! Who will win the prize for Best Costume? Halloween is one of my favorite holidays because it allows for such whimsical crafting and decorating. I like to dream up out-of-the-box color palettes for the holidays in my home decor and Halloween is so much fun to play with. I hope you enjoy this cute DIY as much as I did. -Ghost cut-out. I got mine at Party City (2.99) Linked here. -Yarn. Any and all. I recommend different textures as it gives your wall hanging more depth and variety. I purchased all of mine at Michael's. -A ruler (this isn't a necessity) You'll see in my photos that my cut isn't perfect. I eye-balled it but if you are a stickler for precision, be my guest. Cut your yarn to your desired length. What I love about this craft is that you can create it to fill a space in your home that you need filled. I was looking for something to go above Ever's kitchen and I decided why not make my own. So here we are. Cut as much as you think you'll need. Don't worry if it is not enough- you can go back and add more as needed. You can also use my photos for an approximate reference point. Glue away. I used a glue gun but if you want to make it more of a kid friendly craft you can certainly try a different glue. I, for one, love any excuse to use my glue gun. It doesn't really matter if the strings of yarn are even where you are gluing because that part won't show! Just make sure you are gluing to the back side of the ghost. Pro Tip: glue one piece of yarn at a time or the glue will dry too fast. Now you are ready to decorate your ghost. On the left is what the ghost looks like when you purchase it. Now, you can totally use the ghost the way it comes, but I decided to draw on my own face to keep it a little more simple. All I did was re-create the face part of it. Feel free to get creative and draw any kind of face you like- or even leave it blank. Another fun idea would be to spray paint it a fun color like gold metallic! Please be sure and share with me on Instagram if you make one! We have been reading to Everley since she was just a little peanut in my belly. Partly because "they" say it makes babies smart but mostly out of the pure excitement of becoming parents. For me the best part was how she responded to Kurt's voice within seconds of coming into the world. So, we know and love our books. Ever has over one hundred and counting. I thought it would be fun to round out our top favorite dad books in honor of Father's Day! I came up with a few options for themes for my girl’s first birthday party and had a hard time deciding but this theme always had my heart! I wanted to really play on blushes and peaches and a pop of sunny yellow. Somewhere along the line I threw in some lilac which if anyone knows me is kind of out of the norm. But I’m so glad I did! I wanted to do a more whimsical version of this theme than anyone would expect. So I had fun with suns and stars and ditched the galaxies and planets.

Last month, tens of thousands of Floridians in Hurricane Irma’s path were told to evacuate their homes to assure the safety of their families. When they returned after the storm, widespread power outages throughout the state presented a looming danger in the form of carbon monoxide poisoning as many residents relied on generators as their only source of electricity. People and animals in these spaces can be poisoned and even die from exposure to the poisonous gas. Everyone is at risk for carbon monoxide poisoning but infants, the elderly, and people with continuous heart disease, anemia, or breathing problems are more likely to become diseased from carbon monoxide exposure. Each year, more than 400 Americans die from unintentional carbon monoxide poisoning not linked to fires, more than 20,000 visit the emergency room, and more than 4,000 are hospitalized. Because initial symptoms often depict the flu and can be as ordinary as fatigue, nausea, dizziness and headaches, carbon monoxide poisoning is often labeled as the silent killer. As apparent in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, it is not always obvious where probable origins of carbon monoxide poisoning can be. In fact, the number of cases of carbon monoxide poisoning usually grows in the cooler months ahead as many homeowners turn on their furnaces to keep their families warm and comfortable for the season. Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning suggests updating your carbon monoxide detectors every five years and checking your carbon monoxide and fire detectors each month to verify the batteries and alarm are functioning properly. Call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning today at 469-249-1971 or schedule an analysis of carbon monoxide and other harmful indoor air pollutant levels online.

Both geometrical (cis-, trans-) isomers for can exist. Also, optical isomers for cis-isomer exist. (ii) Two optical isomers for exist. Give evidence that [Co(NH3)5Cl]SO4 and [Co(NH3)5SO4]Cl are ionization isomers. planar structure is diamagnetic and the [NiCl4]2− ion with tetrahedral geometry is paramagnetic. There are 4 CN− ions. Thus, it can either have a tetrahedral geometry or square planar geometry. Since CN− ion is a strong field ligand, it causes the pairing of unpaired 3d electrons. In case of [NiCl4]2−, Cl− ion is a weak field ligand. Therefore, it does not lead to the pairing of unpaired 3d electrons. Therefore, it undergoes sp3 hybridization. [NiCl4]2− is paramagnetic while [Ni(CO)4] is diamagnetic though both are tetrahedral. Why? Though both [NiCl4]2− and [Ni(CO)4] are tetrahedral, their magnetic characters are different. This is due to a difference in the nature of ligands. Cl− is a weak field ligand and it does not cause the pairing of unpaired 3d electrons. Hence, [NiCl4]2− is paramagnetic. [Fe(H2O)6]3+ is strongly paramagnetic whereas [Fe(CN)6]3− is weakly paramagnetic. Explain. In both and , Fe exists in the +3 oxidation state i.e., in d5 configuration. Since CN− is a strong field ligand, it causes the pairing of unpaired electrons. Therefore, there is only one unpaired electron left in the d-orbital. Thus, it is evident that is strongly paramagnetic, while is weakly paramagnetic. Explain [Co(NH3)6]3+ is an inner orbital complex whereas [Ni(NH3)6]2+ is an outer orbital complex. Predict the number of unpaired electrons in the square planar [Pt(CN)4]2− ion. The hexaquo manganese(II) ion contains five unpaired electrons, while the hexacyanoion contains only one unpaired electron. Explain using Crystal Field Theory. The crystal field is octahedral. Water is a weak field ligand. Therefore, the arrangement of the electrons in is t2g3eg2. The crystal field is octahedral. Cyanide is a strong field ligand. Therefore, the arrangement of the electrons in isT2g5eg0. Calculate the overall complex dissociation equilibrium constant for the Cu(NH3)42+ ion, given that β4 for this complex is 2.1 × 1013. The overall complex dissociation equilibrium constant is the reciprocal of the overall stability constant, β4. Explain the bonding in coordination compounds in terms of Werner’s postulates. FeSO4 solution mixed with (NH4)2SO4 solution in 1:1 molar ratio gives the test of Fe2+ ion but CuSO4 solution mixed with aqueous ammonia in 1:4 molar ratio does not give the test of Cu2+ ion. Explain why? Both the compounds i.e., and fall under the category of addition compounds with only one major difference i.e., the former is an example of a double salt, while the latter is a coordination compound. A double salt is an addition compound that is stable in the solid state but that which breaks up into its constituent ions in the dissolved state. These compounds exhibit individual properties of their constituents. For e.g. breaks into Fe2+, NH4+, and SO42− ions. Hence, it gives a positive test for Fe2+ ions. Explain with two examples each of the following: coordination entity, ligand, coordination number, coordination polyhedron, homoleptic and heteroleptic. The neutral molecules or negatively charged ions that surround the metal atom in a coordination entity or a coordinal complex are known as ligands. For example, , Cl−, −OH. Ligands are usually polar in nature and possess at least one unshared pair of valence electrons. What is meant by unidentate, didentate and ambidentate ligands? Give two examples for each. (a) Unidentate ligands: Ligands with only one donor sites are called unidentate ligands. For e.g., , Cl− etc. The charge on the complex is −2. List various types of isomerism possible for coordination compounds, giving an example of each. How many geometrical isomers are possible in the following coordination entities? (i) For [Cr(C2O4)3]3−, no geometric isomer is possible as it is a bidentate ligand. Optical isomerism Since only cis isomer is optically active, it shows optical isomerism. In total, three isomers are possible. Write all the geometrical isomers of [Pt(NH3)(Br)(Cl)(py)] and how many of these will exhibit optical isomers? In both these cases, the weak field ligand water is replaced by the F− and Cl− ions. What is the coordination entity formed when excess of aqueous KCN is added to an aqueous solution of copper sulphate? Why is it that no precipitate of copper sulphide is obtained when H2S(g) is passed through this solution? Thus, the coordination entity formed in the process is K2[Cu(CN)4]. is a very stable complex, which does not ionize to give Cu2+ ions when added to water. Hence, Cu2+ ions are not precipitated when H2S(g) is passed through the solution. As CN− is a strong field ligand, it causes the pairing of the unpaired 3d electrons. 6 electron pairs from CN− ions occupy the six hybrid d2sp3orbitals. There are 6 F− ions. Thus, it will undergo d2sp3 or sp3d2 hybridization. As F− is a weak field ligand, it does not cause the pairing of the electrons in the 3d orbital. Hence, the most feasible hybridization is sp3d2. Hence, the geometry of the complex is octahedral and paramagnetic. Draw figure to show the splitting of d orbitals in an octahedral crystal field. The splitting of the d orbitals in an octahedral field takes palce in such a way that , experience a rise in energy and form the eg level, while dxy, dyzand dzx experience a fall in energy and form the t2g level. What is spectrochemical series? Explain the difference between a weak field ligand and a strong field ligand. What is crystal field splitting energy? How does the magnitude of Δo decide the actual configuration of d-orbitals in a coordination entity? [Cr(NH3)6]3+ is paramagnetic while [Ni(CN)4]2− is diamagnetic. Explain why? In [Ni(CN)4]2−, Ni exists in the +2 oxidation state i.e., d8 configuration. CN− is a strong field ligand. It causes the pairing of the 3d orbital electrons. Then, Ni2+ undergoes dsp2 hybridization. A solution of [Ni(H2O)6]2+ is green but a solution of [Ni(CN)4]2− is colourless. Explain. In [Ni(H2O)6]2+, is a weak field ligand. Therefore, there are unpaired electrons in Ni2+. In this complex, the d electrons from the lower energy level can be excited to the higher energy level i.e., the possibility of d−d transition is present. Hence, Ni(H2O)6]2+ is coloured. In [Ni(CN)4]2−, the electrons are all paired as CN– is a strong field ligand. Therefore, d-d transition is not possible in [Ni(CN)4]2−. Hence, it is colourless. [Fe(CN)6]4− and [Fe(H2O)6]2+ are of different colours in dilute solutions. Why? The colour of a particular coordination compound depends on the magnitude of the crystal-field splitting energy, Δ. This CFSE in turn depends on the nature of the ligand. In case of [Fe(CN)6]4− and [Fe(H2O)6]2+, the colour differs because there is a difference in the CFSE. Now, CN− is a strong field ligand having a higher CFSE value as compared to the CFSE value of water. This means that the absorption of energy for the intra d-d transition also differs. Hence, the transmitted colour also differs. Discuss the nature of bonding in metal carbonyls. The metal-carbon bonds in metal carbonyls have both σ and π characters. A σ bond is formed when the carbonyl carbon donates a lone pair of electrons to the vacant orbital of the metal. A π bond is formed by the donation of a pair of electrons from the filled metal d orbital into the vacant anti-bonding π* orbital (also known as back bonding of the carbonyl group). The σ bond strengthens the π bond and vice-versa. Thus, a synergic effect is created due to this metal-ligand bonding. This synergic effect strengthens the bond between CO and the metal. The d orbital occupation for Co3+ is t2g6eg0. What is meant by stability of a coordination compound in solution? State the factors which govern stability of complexes. What is meant by the chelate effect? Give an example. How many ions are produced from the complex Co(NH3)6Cl2 in solution? Thus, [Co(NH3)6]+ along with two Cl− ions are produced. Amongst the following ions which one has the highest magnetic moment value? Therefore, the complex can be written as K+[Co(CO)4]−. Therefore, the oxidation number of Co in the given complex is −1. Hence, option (iii) is correct. We know that the stability of a complex increases by chelation. Therefore, the most stable complex is [Fe(C2O4)3]3−.

Binance Coin is way ahead of other cryptocurrencies for price growth so far in 2019. As we approach Spring 2019, BNB has been the only coin out of the Dirty Dozen to rally to price levels from before 2018’s winter in equities and crypto prices. The Dirty Dozen are the twelve relatively mature cryptocurrencies that currently have a $1M+ market cap and a lot of circulating volume- so they flow through many hands. There will be more than a dozen again soon enough as many more private currencies swell in capitalization to the $1M+ threshold. But the current roster is: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Litecoin, EOS, Bitcoin Cash, Binance Coin, Stellar, Tether, TRON, Cardano, and Bitcoin SV. Of these 12 most highly capitalized cryptocurrencies BNB currently comprises 1.8% of the total market capitalization, ranking Binance Coin seventh out of all cryptocurrencies globally in order of market cap size, behind Bitcoin Cash and ahead of Stellar. TRON Founder and CEO Justin Sun says Binance Coin is another Bitcoin. Bitcoin- to which Binance Coin has been compared recently on its remarkable run ahead of the rest of the pack (e.g. Binance coin is “the next Bitcoin,” as TRON Founder and CEO Justin Sun has averred)- comprises 60% of the Dirty Dozen’s total market capitalization. So notwithstanding the assessment of the venerable TRON Founder, and owner of BitTorrent who did after all just make $2.8M worth of BNB for an offering of 23.7M BTT in January, Binance Coin would have a way to go before it’s the next Bitcoin. Litecoin is appreciating very well in 2019, but its price gains are nothing like Binance Coin’s 2019 liftoff. The only other major, older coin to shake off the frost from 2018’s crypto winter and warm up to a spring price breakout anything like Binance Coin’s is Litecoin. Litecoin is the 2011 fork of the Bitcoin core software implementation to create a coin with similar properties to Bitcoin, but which processes new blocks every 2.5 minutes instead of every 10 minutes, and which uses the more computationally-intensive Scrypt for proof of work hashes instead of SHA-256 like Bitcoin. The altcoin has been described as the digital equivalent of silver to Bitcoin’s status as the digital equivalent of gold. Its advantages are lower transaction fees than bitcoin, and shorter average transaction confirmation time. Until ASICs were updated in the never ending mining arms race to be Scrypt capable, Litecoin also created interest for people with CPUs who could not compete with these Application Specific Integrated Circuits. Scrypt requires proof your RAM worked too, briefly shutting out the ASIC computational artillery designed for the sole purpose of performing hashes and mining bitcoin. As the next halvening of the miners’ Litecoin reward in August 2019 approaches, crypto investors are filling their saddles with Litecoin. But digital silver still has a ways left to reach its pre-2018 crypto winter valuations like liquid coin for ICO investments have. A Binance Launchpad ICO boom is giving Binance Coin’s price a massive rocket boost. On January 28 the BitTorrent Token (BTT) ICO, which sold 59.4 billion BTT for around $7 million (at a price roughly equivalent to $0.00012 USD for 1 BTT), sold out in under 15 minutes for both BTT/BNB and BTT/TRX sessions. The sale happened so fast people complained that they were unable to make a purchase of BTT at the time of the ICO within minutes of the coin offering opening. Although all transactions cleared with coins in their new owners’ accounts in under 15 minutes for both sessions, Binance CEO C.Z. says if he had used more computer power to process requests the $7 million BTT ICO could have been completed in ten seconds. It was over in a about 10 seconds. The queue was totally packed within seconds. The processing is just draining the queue slowly. Congrats to @fetch_ai ! Since February 25, the price of BTT has settled into a very stable $0.00074496 USD / 1 BTT for a cool 521% return on the initial investment for those who traded their BNB or TRON for BTT. Even with its meteoric rise since BTT’s Jan 28th ICO, Binance Coin’s 160% price increase was still no match for the file sharing giant’s token hot off its ICO. Far vaster profits were made by those who sold their BitTorrent Tokens in February when 1 BTT could fetch four Lincoln pennies before the price settled to its current level. Since then another Binance Launchpad-powered ICO, for Fetch.AI, fetched $6 million for the coin’s developers in 22 seconds over Binance. Fetch.AI tokens debuted at a price of 0.008584 BNB / 1 FET, and will currently fetch back .01448 BNB for every 1 Fetch.AI token investors bought. The next Binance Launchpad ICO will be on March 19th for Celer. For risk tolerant day traders who’ve been following along closely with crypto and ICOs seeking short term opportunities for high rewards, the ability to make those kind of returns on a speculative investment in promising new cryptocurrencies is throwing fuel on the fire of the raging demand for BNB that Binance has so methodically built. Despite the crypto community’s (albeit in many cases rather compelling) disparagement of the ICO bubble- which accumulated its fair share of well-deserved criticisms throughout 2017 and 2018, along with massive infusions of capital for the coins’ creators and huge profits for some very well-funded, highly-organized speculators, who know what they’re doing- crypto investors continue to have a relentless appetite for ICOs in 2019. Along with providing liquidity and discounted fees for trades among the 171 cryptos currently exchanged on Binance, BNB Coin seems to be well assured of trading strong throughout 2019, buoyed by investor demand for bits of the tech businesses knocking on Binance’s door, massive user base and a sensible use case for tokenization in tow.

Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump's lawyers are preparing for a legal showdown with special counsel Robert Mueller, according to sources familiar with their thinking. Trump's legal team is bracing for the dramatic possibility that Mueller would subpoena the President, setting up a collision that could force a lengthy court fight and test the legal limits of the President's power all the way up to the Supreme Court. Mueller has raised the possibility of a presidential subpoena in at least one meeting, according to two sources. But some of the President's legal advisers are gambling that Mueller would not go that far. The Washington Post first reported on the subpoena threat. The already slim chances of Trump sitting for a voluntary interview with Mueller's investigators are growing dimmer, sources close to the President say. Asked whether the President would ever plead the Fifth Amendment to avoid answering questions, two sources said the legal team believes there are many "constitutional challenges" that would need to be met before that possibility even would be considered. Trump's lawyers are careful to say that the President hasn't shut the door to a possible agreement for an interview. His new legal team is still assessing that before making a recommendation, sources say. The leaking of a version of Mueller's potential questions for the President, first published by The New York Times, and the President's reaction on Twitter underscore where the issue is moving, sources say. Trump himself has told reporters he'd speak with the special counsel, and the President's legal team initially claimed that an interview could happen under the right terms. The President's lawyers said they wanted to finish the interview quickly, claiming it would help end the special counsel's investigation. But after the April 9 raid of his personal attorney, Michael Cohen, the President's view of sitting down with Mueller had a "seismic shift," according to one source -- from yes toward no. Many legal observers believe that if Mueller issues a grand jury subpoena for Trump's testimony, the courts will order the President to comply, because the Supreme Court has repeatedly ordered presidents to comply with subpoenas. During independent counsel Kenneth Starr's investigation of President Bill Clinton related to Monica Lewinsky, prosecutors eventually subpoenaed the president for grand jury testimony. Clinton's lawyers attempted to delay Clinton from speaking to prosecutors for months and told a federal judge they would avoid arguing the issue in court. They ultimately agreed to let Clinton appear before the grand jury without the weight of a subpoena. In 1974, in United States v. Nixon, the Justices unanimously directed President Richard Nixon to comply with a criminal trial subpoena for the White House tapes. And in 1997, in Clinton v. Jones, the Court directed Clinton to comply with a subpoena for his deposition in Paula Jones' civil sexual harassment lawsuit against him. Yet if Mueller attempts to force Trump to testify under subpoena -- as many legal analysts suspect could happen -- the sources familiar with the thinking of Trump's legal team say they believe Trump could successfully challenge the subpoena all the way to the Supreme Court. One of the sources says the legal team views a subpoena for a presidential interview as "precipitating a constitutional crisis." The Trump team's legal argument, according to multiple sources, is that they believe the special counsel does not have the authority to force a President to appear before a grand jury. They also believe that Article II of the Constitution, which defines the office of the President, prevents the high court from ordering an investigation into the President's use of his executive powers. In this case, that could include the hiring and firing of persons like former national security adviser Michael Flynn and ex-FBI Director James Comey. Their political argument also has changed. While the lawyers were originally in a let's-get-this-over-with mode, they now believe that time is on their side -- especially with the 2018 elections looming. They believe that Trump has done a good job discrediting the investigators and the investigation itself. Barrack's spokeswoman, Lisa Baker, declined to comment. Washington (CNN) Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort will await his trial for foreign lobbying charges from jail. Two weeks after special counsel Robert Mueller's prosecutors dropped new accusations of witness tampering on him, US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson on Friday revoked Manafort's bail, which had allowed him to live in his Alexandria, Virginia, apartment under house arrest. The order marked an end to almost eight months of attempts by Manafort to lighten his house arrest restrictions after he was charged and pleaded not guilty to foreign lobbying violations. "The harm in this case is harm to the administration of justice and harm to the integrity of the court's system," Berman Jackson told Manafort in court. The judge emphasized to Manafort how she could not make enough rulings to keep him from speaking improperly with witnesses, after he had used multiple text messaging apps and called a potential witness on an Italian cellphone. "This is not middle school. I can't take his cellphone," she said of Manafort. "I thought about this long and hard, Mr. Manafort. I have no appetite for this." Manafort also entered a not guilty plea to two additional charges levied against him last week, of witness tampering and conspiracy to obstruct justice. In total, he faces seven criminal charges in DC federal court. Three US marshals led Manafort out of the packed courtroom into the prisoner holding area immediately after the judge's ruling. He was not placed in handcuffs. Before he disappeared through the door, he turned toward his wife and supporters and gave a stilted wave. Minutes later, a marshal returned to give Manafort's wife, Kathleen, still standing in the courtroom's front row, his wallet, belt and the burgundy tie he wore Friday. Court marshals held Manafort in the bowels of the courthouse for several hours following the hearing as they considered how to keep him protected from other inmates behind bars. He arrived about 8 p.m. at the Northern Neck Regional Jail in Warsaw, Virginia, 90 miles south of Washington. In a tweet, President Donald Trump said the decision to revoke Manafort's bail was "tough," although he referred to it as a "sentence." "Wow, what a tough sentence for Paul Manafort, who has represented Ronald Reagan, Bob Dole and many other top political people and campaigns. Didn't know Manafort was the head of the Mob. What about Comey and Crooked Hillary and all of the others? Very unfair!" "This hearing is not about politics, is not about conduct of the office of the special counsel." When Manafort was first arraigned and pleaded not guilty in October, a magistrate judge set a $10 million bail price and placed him under house arrest, confiscating his passports. Manafort then attempted to find assets of his own and through real estate and family members' accounts. In December, the judge signed off on his plan -- provided he could supply the correct documentation. It didn't come through, according to the court filings. Prosecutors have argued all along that the jet-setting political consultant was a significant flight risk. As the process to negotiate his bail dragged on, prosecutors discovered possible mortgage fraud related to some of the properties he hoped to use as bail. That's when they finalized additional federal criminal charges against him in Virginia. In the past month, Manafort finally came up with a plan to post some of his own and others' properties for his bail. The prosecutors appeared to agree with the plan, according to court filings. Then, last week, Mueller's team alleged they found evidence Manafort had tried to coach potential witnesses. On Friday, they told the judge Manafort was a "danger to the community" and that he had committed a crime while out on release: obstruction of justice. A man was driving with his wife through rural Italy when his phone rang. Manafort identified himself to the man, Alan Friedman, a public relations consultant he once worked with. "I need to give you a heads up about Hapsburg," Manafort told him three times. "Have you seen any article about Hapsburg?" Manafort was referring to a project he and Friedman had worked on years ago to bring influential Europeans to the US to push pro-Ukrainian politics while the group posed as independent experts. The project, dubbed the Hapsburg group, was among Manafort's efforts to skirt foreign lobbying laws, prosecutors allege. Friedman turned down the radio as Manafort spoke, Andres said, then hung up the phone a minute and a half into the call. Manafort tried several more times to reach him in the following days. Andres said prosecutors now know Manafort used multiple ways to communicate with former colleagues like Friedman and Konstantin Kilimnik, a Moscow-based associate who's also charged in the alleged witness tampering: In addition to phone calls and half a dozen encrypted messaging apps, Manafort uses a system with email called "foldering," where multiple people have access to an account and write messages to one another as drafts,but the emails are never sent. "This was a sustained campaign over a five-week period to use multiple numbers, applications and people," Andres said in court about the witness tampering allegations. Manafort's lawyer Richard Westling argued that Manafort had no way to know Friedman would be a witness in the case. Westling asked the judge to simply issue a more specific order for Manafort to follow while out on bail. "This will not happen again," Westling said. But the witness tampering allegations, which also resulted in new criminal charges, were enough Friday for Manafort to lose his house arrest privileges. Manafort has maintained his innocence and vowed to fight the charges since he was indicted alongside Gates in late October. Gates has since changed his plea to guilty and agreed to help prosecutors, because of the significant cost of his legal fees and attention bearing down on him and his family. Another associate of Manafort's, Kilimnik, was charged with witness tampering and has not yet appeared in court. Prosecutors haven't tied Manafort, Gates and Kilimnik's alleged wrongdoings to the actions of the Trump campaign, which is at the core of Mueller's investigation. However, prosecutors have said in several previous court filings that they are looking into Manafort's contacts with Russians and Ukrainians -- including Kilimnik -- and possible coordination he may have orchestrated with them while he oversaw the campaign. Manafort had spent his days since October stuck in his apartment under court order. He could leave only for legal meetings, medical needs and religious observances. The judge had allowed him to travel a few times for special exceptions, such as to his father-in-law's funeral on Long Island and his grandson's baptism in Virginia. He wore ankle bracelets that tracked his movements through GPS technology, one on each leg. Leading up to Friday's hearing, Manafort was optimistic he would avoid jail, according to a source familiar with the situation, but he and his legal team expected Mueller's team to be as aggressive as possible. His friends were "shellshocked" in the wake of the judge's decision Friday, the source said. Manafort's new confines create another hurdle in his trial preparations and will make it more difficult for him to confer with his counsel and prepare his defense. (CNN) Michael Cohen, the President's former fixer and ultimate loyalist, is sending a clear signal to President Donald Trump and his attorney, Rudy Giuliani, that "the truth is not you(r) or your client's friend," according to sources with knowledge of Cohen's thinking. It is his most direct statement so far on the reason for Donald Trump Jr's meeting with Kremlin-linked lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya in June 2016. Special Counsel Robert Mueller is investigating US intelligence findings that Russians conspired to sway the election in Mr Trump's favour. He has called the ongoing investigations in the US "the greatest political witch hunt in history". Russia has repeatedly denied claims it interfered in the November 2016 presidential elections, where Mr Trump defeated Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. On Sunday, US media including the Washington Post, CNN and AP reported that Mr Trump was worried Donald Trump Jr could be in legal trouble because of the 9 June 2016 meeting with Ms Veselnitskaya. They cited multiple unnamed sources. Mr Trump responded: "Fake News reporting, a complete fabrication, that I am concerned about the meeting my wonderful son, Donald, had in Trump Tower. "This was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics - and it went nowhere. Why does his tweet matter? When the meeting was first reported by the New York Times, Donald Trump Jr said in a statement that he and Ms Veselnitskaya had mostly discussed a suspended programme for Americans to adopt Russian children. However, he subsequently admitted he had agreed to the meeting after being told he would be offered information that would prove detrimental to Mrs Clinton. He also released the email exchange that brought about the meeting. US commentators have argued that Mr Trump's new admission that the meeting was to gain information about Mrs Clinton shows that the earlier statement was misleading. Why is the Trump Tower meeting controversial? It is common for US politicians to research their opponents during a campaign. His apparently enthusiastic response to the offer of information about Mrs Clinton could also breach conspiracy laws. The Trump team has argued that Mr Trump Jr ultimately did not receive any damaging information about Mrs Clinton at the meeting. One of Mr Trump's lawyers, Jay Sekulow, said on Sunday that the meeting had nor broken any laws. "The question is what law, statute or rule or regulation's been violated? Nobody's pointed to one," Mr Sekulow told ABC News.
