Lagos – Most stockbroking firms are now resorting to mergers and acquisitions to scale through the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recapitalisation deadline for capital market operators, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.
Investigations by NAN showed that the tempo of consolidation and acquisition meetings have increased as the economy enters the second phase.
A senior stockbroker who pleaded anonymity told NAN on Wednesday in Lagos that the affected stockbroking firms had been holding series of meetings for possible acquisition or merger.
He said the affected brokers were working round the clock to consolidate their businesses before Dec. 31, 2014.
According to him, the limited time frame and the reality of the regulators’ commitment in enforcing the recapitalisation programme, has compelled the operators to resort to mergers and acquisitions option to avoid forced closure.
Confirming the development, Mr Emeka Madubuike, President, Association of Stockbroking Houses of Nigeria (ASHON), said that the association was considering the option.
Madubike said that ASHON in the next couple of weeks would organise a workshop on recapitalisation to enlighten members on the various options.
He said that mergers and acquisitions were one of the options being considered by the association.
Madubuike said that ASHON would continue to discuss and engage with SEC, noting that the policy should be taken for the overall interest.
He said that operators would continue to seek audience with the commission, and that policies should not be introduced without necessary consultation.
NAN reports that SEC on Dec. 19 issued a new capital requirement for capital market operators with December 31, 2014 as deadline for them to recapitalise.
A breakdown of the new capital requirement obtained by NAN showed that broker/dealer now requires a minimum capital of N300 million or an increase of 328.57 per cent compared with the initial capital of N70 million.
A broker is now required to increase its capital to N200 million from N40 million, while a dealer’s minimum capital now stands at N100 million against N30 million.
Issuing Houses operational capital requirement also rose to N200 million from N150 million and underwriters are now expected to have N200 million as working capital from N100 million.
Under the new capital requirements framework, a registrar’s operational capital has been reviewed up to N150 million from N50 million.
Trustees capital requirement also improved to N300 million from N40 million and rating agency from N20 million to N150 million.

- (Construction toy) A construction set is a set of standardized pieces that allow for the construction of a variety of different models or buildings. The pieces avoid the lead time of manufacturing custom pieces, and of requiring special training or design time to construct complex systems.
- This is a list of characters from the Toy Story trilogy which consists of the animated films Toy Story, Toy Story 2, and Toy Story 3.

So, I bought some Power Miners today. TRU on Rte 1in Lawrenceville had them, along with Pirates, the new Indy set, the construction sets, and those new RC cars.
Don't wet your pants yet, though. The price/parts ratio is all effed up. The new Indy set was $40, for 234 pcs. This set is the $20 Power Miner set, and it has 197 pieces. The other one I bought was the $10 set (which TRU graciously raped me on by setting that to $12) and it has like 90 pcs or something.
All the new sets are that way, including Pirates and Construction. The $70 PM set only has 434 pcs in it.
I think this is due to the spike in oil prices over the last year, which in turn would cause plastic prices to rise. We're seeing it late, though, due to the lag between design and production.
I don't see an end to it, though, as oil will inevitably shoot up again. It's just a matter of time.
Overall I'm pretty happy with what the designers came up with. The sets, though lacking in parts, are more detailed than Mars Mission. Had they been allowed more parts, it would've been cool to have some rubble pieces, like those two piece boulders or some such thing for the machines to dig and scoop.
However, the rather sudden shift in pricing is disconcerting, and will probably stunt my buying over the next year (by that I mean even moreso than it will already drop due to the baby).
les petits chateaux
I've been told to boost him a bit in his daily things.
Not mandatory but an advice that I think good. It's quite moving to see him play in the parc like this. After that it was all about jumping and running for half an hour.
Today was rainy but tomorow if weather is nice we gonna try dragon mc queen drifting abilities (shit it's fast!!). I'd like him to develop reflex with modern tools like video games, rc toys and other construction theme toys like lego.
Unfortunately I have to do with what I think best, don't know if I'm true or wrong. Sometimes I feel like shit educating him, sometimes I'm the proudest father ever.
Well it's for everybody the same I guess as I saw some horrors regarding parental behavior (yeah you bitch don't you dare touch my son, fat ass).

She lied to him about the state of your relationship with her. Who's to say she's not lying to you now about her relationship with him?
She's proven she can be deceitful. She doesn't feel any remorse for the situation. She doesn't respect your feelings at all in the matter.
The incident itself might be forgivable, but her reactions to it after the fact and making you the guilty party are not. It's a huge red flag. There is nothing on her end that says she won't do it again if the mood suits her.
Demand to go to counseling over it or divorce her for being unfaithful and deceitful. | 7a00b65aad0848968e6a2c521beb4994 | 138 |
Pale Moon users may want to read this from Moonchild the Pale Moon founder.
I'm actually using a Pale Moon version at the moment compiled for Win XP, and although I don't have an Intel Atom processor, it still runs as reliably as the old Firefox ...
In general use, you will likely not notice much (if any) difference if run on a non-Atom processor that is likely more powerful, anyway.
It's kept updated but not with the frightening rapidity of other browsers, and even my long serving "Winstripe Modern" theme works perfectly with it.
Fascinating insight to Pale Moons development hazel.
Thanks for the info hazel, although I'm not sure whether I'm disappointed or couldn't care less.
Pale Moon 26.5.0 will now simply become my newest old browser. | https://community.ccleaner.com/topic/45842-pale-moon-has-idea-for-a-new-browser/ | 175 |

I’m a big fan of Fun Factory; their silicone can feel draggy and almost powdery at times, but I have to admire the company who came up with Flexi Felix, the caterpillar who feels most at home in your anal cavity, and who consistently make body-safe products in eye-searing shades of orange, blue, red, and green in addition to the industry standards of cerise, purple or baby pink. The Boosty’s the first butt toy I’ve tried from them – I’ve been told that the Bootie is the original, and the one I should’ve tried out first, but it sold out before I could get to it.
The Boosty is available in a choice of aquarium pebble turquoise and petrol black, and comes in sturdy, non-gendered packaging with a drawing of a butt on. The Boosty is the most girthy plug I currently own, with three irregularly stacked bulbs of slightly different circumferences; the top bulb measures just under 4 inches around, the middle being the thickest with exactly 5 inches of girth, and the bottom bulb measuring just under 5 inches. The stem thins out considerably to 1.5 inches of both girth and length, with the base being 3.5 inches long. The base-to-neck ratio is perfect, actually, it ensures that the whole things stays put and feels completely secure, no matter how overenthusiastic (there’s no such thing! use all the lube! all of it! squeeze that bottle until it squeaks!) you may have been with your lube application.
The silicone the Boosty’s made from feels slightly different to the kind used for the other Fun Factory toys I’ve met* – it’s extremely smooth, firm yet flexible, and without the dry and powdery finish that the Share has. There’s a faint but visible seam running down each side of the Boosty, which I’ll get back to later, and while the base is long it doesn’t entirely restrict access to my vagina, which is an issue I had with the terribly named Doc Johnson Mood Naughty plug. Yay!
I need to work up to the Boosty as it’s so chubby – my Tantus Meteorite works best as a prep tool, as it’s more of a play plug than anything else, or a moderately energetic finger-blasting if I’m with a partner.

I’m thinking of throwing out all my picking and preserving books. Why? Kevin West’s new book Saving the Season: A Cook’s Guide to Home Canning, Pickling, and Preserving blows all those other books out of the water bath.
Full disclosure here: I’ve tasted a lot of West’s jams. I teach a bread making class at the Institute of Domestic Technology. After my bread demo West does a jam making session and I stick around to watch and, hopefully, filtch an extra jar. Those West jams are coveted items around the Root Simple household.
What makes Saving the Season different from other preserving books is West’s masterful use of aromatics and alcohols. As he explains in the introduction, “My goal is for the supplemental flavor to be a faint suggestion–an extra something that you can’t quite put your finger on.” His quince jelly (that I just made) is flavored with a subtle hint of rose geranium. One of the strawberry jam recipes gets a splash of pinot noir. The pickled eggs (that I also made) is mixed with Sriracha. These additions enhance the essential qualities of the main ingredients rather than simply add flavor. It’s an approach that’s masterful and never gimmicky.
There’s also a few surprises. Did you know that you can pickle unripe stone fruit? West’s recipe for pickled green almonds doubles as a way to deal with fruit that needs to be thinned in the spring. And I now know what I can do with all that cardoon I have growing. Yes, you can pickle that.
If that weren’t enough, West has weaved together his recipes with erudite musings. Plato’s theory of forms is contrasted with Buddhism in an essay on kitchen prep that introduces a peach recipe. The grape jelly section is preceded by an analysis of a Nicolas Poussin’s painting. This is the only preservation book I’ve found myself reading for fun.
My threat to get rid of all my preserving books is not hyperbole. Saving the Season really is the definitive book on the subject of pickling and preserving.
West has a website, www.savingtheseason.com, where you can find recipes as well as info about speaking appearances (he’s also great speaker).
Remember to Label Those Jars!
What’s the Best Solar Food Dryer?
Does he cover fermentation?
Yes–he covers brined cucumber pickles, sauerkraut and kimchi.
Although I don’t agree that any one book is “definitive” on a subject (an opinion of mine), I do agree that Kevin West’s book is quite close. I have been noticing recent books to be lacking those certain details and small observations that help the creator make a judgment call or follow through with an inspirational thought to a rewarding end. I value the person that take the time to make something really great and not just something that gets you by. Kevin takes the time. He gives you the knowledge to make your own creative decisions and to take into your mind the history behind these methods, this fruit or vegetable, our communities and culture in a sincere and sensitive voice.
Ha! I always threaten to do a junky book giveaway on the blog but Kelly stops me. I should note that some old canning books are full of bad, possibly dangerous, information.
You could bowdlerize it first and give it away.

CNN is hiring a chef.
The news network said Tuesday it is bringing chef Anthony Bourdain in to be the host of a weekend show on food and travel. The series is expected to start early next year.
Bourdain has done programs on both the Travel Channel and Food Network, and also appeared in the Bravo competition Top Chef. His CNN show will feature cultures around the world through the prism of dining traditions.
CNN says it is trying to do more to distinguish its weekend programming from weekday news shows. Bourdain’s program will be seen on Sunday in prime time, with repeats shown on Saturday nights. | 48936df16a05c766812bbb748b5379bd | 126 |
UC San Diego neuroscientist Uma Karmarker is pictured in an undated photo.
Tracking eye movement and reading brain waves have become tried and true techniques used by advertisers to home in on consumer preferences for everything from chips to cars.
Companies use neuroscientific techniques like eye tracking, encoding facial emotions and electroencephalogram, or EEG, which measures brain activity, to get more information about how people react to certain advertisements, products or packaging.
UC San Diego neuroscientist Uma Karmarkar said even though the majority of this research is conducted with the full consent of participants, there are ethical concerns about the practice of consumer neuroscience.
"There's information that falls under neuromarketing, or consumer neuroscience, that technically could be recorded, such as where you're looking when you're looking on a computer screen, or what you're looking at from a camera. And I think that raises these issues right now on whether there should be regulation on what kinds of data and what kinds of information should be collected," Karmarkar said.
Just this summer a Canadian company suspended its use of facial recognition software in mall directories after public outcry over the lack of consent.
Karmarker will take part in a discussion on that topic at a forum hosted by the Center for Ethics in Science and Technology called "My Brain Made Me Buy It? Neuroethics of Advertising" at 5:30 p.m., Thursday at the downtown central library.

The Importance of Being Yourself
I’m not all that important. I’m not a politician, a celebrity, an internet guru, an SEO expert, a journalist or a published author. I’m your average ordinary grandmother with a job in Home Care. I suppose you could call me a caretaker, since I take care of our home, my Hubby, our cat and the elderly clients I see, who without my help and the help of others like me, wouldn’t be able to live independently in their own homes. I’m also a blogger.
It’s a hobby for me. I blog about my life, my opinions, my values. I’m 60 years old, I’ve lived a lot of life, formed a lot of opinions and have some pretty solid values, which allow me to conduct myself in a manner that makes me fairly fit for human consumption. My Hubby is proud to take me anywhere with him…well…except for the time I fell on the floor in a church bathroom and certain expletives found their way out of my mouth. That, however, is a topic for another time and place, not for here and not for now. Now is for the purpose of giving an opinion.
I give opinions fairly frequently, don’t even have to ask me, I’m always willing to say what I think. I’m not a broadcaster, any opinion I give is open for discussion. I’ve had discussions in this manner and found myself re-examining my own opinions. Sometimes I’ve done so because someone had better knowledge of the subject than I did. In one case there was a part of my own opinion that I wasn’t comfortable with and information provided by someone else helped me decide where I felt I was missing something. I’ve even changed my mind about a few things thanks to the input of others.
I blog for the purpose of starting discussions. Of course, that means that other opinions have value to me. Without other opinions, stated in the comment section of any blog I post, there can be no discussion. Since I am most interested in discussion having a blog in which people comment is of more value to me than page rankings, unique visitors or authority.
I happened to read a discussion about aggregators like Technorati and Alexa. The discussion was all about authority and page ranking. It seemed to be between people who were more interested in the statistics than in the people who actually do the blogging. I suppose all of this is necessary if you monetize your blog. I don’t, but I don’t host my own blog, it’s on a site called Blogstream.com. I could give you numbers, like my Technorati authority is 115. I have no idea how good that is and I don’t care. Blogstream’s Alexa ranking is less than 100,000 at 95,000 and something, I looked because I was curious. Frankly, that doesn’t matter to me either.
My blog has allowed me to meet people from all over the world who have been my inspiration at times when I needed it. They held my hand when my Dad died and when I had to euthanise a beloved kitty. They laughed with me when the new kitty we acquired turned out to be the kitten from Hell. They admired my bad poetry, they shared my triumphs and my tragedies and thankfully I had more of the former than I had of the latter. They let me know when I said something that resonated with them and helped them over a bad spot in their lives. I have regular respectful discussions with atheists, agnostics, Conservative Republicans, Progressive Democrats and Independents. I’ve had a few run ins with the internet trolls that have to argue and cause trouble, but for the most part, I have a respectful and friendly readership.
I don’t pick on people about their grammar or their spelling. I don’t tell people they’re stupid because they don’t agree with me. I’m not selling anything. If people have taken the time to read what I write and to stop and leave a comment, I take the time to answer them. Some bloggers don’t do that, but they’re usually the ones who seem to want to keep track of their Technorati Authority and Alexa rankings. I’ll let them be the important authorities about that. Me, I’m just here for the laughter, the tears and the people. What are you here for?

I knew that. Just goes to show how intelligent I am. I say it so well, folks quote me exactly. 😀
One of those comments was a complete copy of one of your comments…word for word…
Nobody is perfect, I just do the best I can with what I’ve got. 😀 I tell people that Hubby came to my place for a one night stand in July of 1987 and he hasn’t left yet. There’s just no accountin’ for some folks.
You have some comments (dang it) for approval. 🙂
Your hubby’s a lucky guy Butterose, it sounds like you got it together just fine. 😀

I don't doubt that the program will exist for everyone who paid into it and qualified for benefits. Whether it will continue to pay at the current levels is a unknown question.
For many decades the SSA took in more in FICA taxes than it paid out in benefits. By law, the excess was used to buy special Treasury bonds. This is known as the Social Security Trust Fund. Effectively, it's one government agency - the Treasury - owing money to another - the Social Security Administration. For a long time the Trust Fund represented a substantial portion of the national debt. Today it's about 14% of the national debt, largely because of how rapidly the national debt has grown in the past two decades. A lot of people don't know that a big chunk of the national debt is "intragovernmental", which means one government agency owing another.
It is expected that FICA tax revenues will be less than Social Security benefit payments this year, so the SSA is going to have to cash in some of those bonds in order to meet it's commitments. The Trust Fund is expected to be completely depleted by 2035. This is when people have proclaimed that "Social Security will be broke!".
Well, no. They won't actually be broke. If nothing changes between now and then, FICA tax revenues will only cover about 75% of benefit payments, and there will no longer be a Trust Fund to draw from. Congress has a few choices here. It can reduce benefits. It can increase taxes. Or, it can supplement Social Security from other revenue sources. I expect they'll implement some combination of these. They may decide to reduce benefit payments indirectly by just freezing annual cost of living increases.
If you're paying into Social Security then I think you can be confident that you'll get something when you retire. The system isn't going to collapse completely unless the entire economy collapses. | 3b2736ce791e475c8ba02964e2ccaa25 | 390 |

Edge loops: rows start and finish with the face hem.
Gum: * 2 persons., 2 out. *, repeat from * to *.
Border pattern (eraser with stripes): knit 2 rows of elastic with a thread of a light orange color and 2 rows of elastic with a thread of a dark orange color. In height, repeat these 4 rows.
Mosaic pattern: knit loops in all rows! Each row of the scheme is connected 2 times. Starting from the front row (= on the right side of the scheme), knit with the color that indicates the 1st loop of the scheme, and remove the loop of a different color (pull the thread along the wrong side of the work), i.e. the free thread in the front row lies behind the loop, and the thread from the wrong side lies before the work. By tying the front row in the same color, knit the purl row in the same color = the same loops are knitted, the same loops are removed. In the next front row, respectively purl row, in the same way, knit a different color, knitting loops with a thread of the color that we knit with facial ones, and removing the loops of another color.
Closing the loops / subtractions for the armholes in the mosaic pattern: when forming the armholes as a result of closing the loops, the scheme will no longer display the color of the 1st loop with which the given string is knitted. As the loops close at the beginning of each row, you should mark the “working” color.
1 off: 1 knock off the front loop, fasten the front loop and pull it through the removed loop.
1 gain: from the broach between the loops to knit faces. crossed loop.
Remove the loop (thread for / before work).

For Immediate Release 28 February 2011
Canterbury Has Enough Midwives
The following comments can be attributed to Karen Guilliland, New Zealand College of Midwives CEO:.
The NZ College of Midwives national office staff have met today after several days of close liaison with midwives, DHB’s and the health sector in general. All NZCOM staff and their families have been accounted for.
The College’s head office in Manchester Street in Edgeware, on the edge of the four avenues cordon, is closed and off limits to all staff and visitors – it has at this stage been deemed unsafe.
The latest information for women who need a midwife in another city outside Christchurch, is that midwives are being rallied to be there to provide that support. We are advising pregnant women to contact their nearest maternity unit in the area they relocate to, to find this information. NZCOM regional chairs are co-ordinating their own areas and contacting midwives and their local DHB to make this easier for women.
To reiterate, women are entitled to LMC (Lead Maternity Care) midwifery services for themselves and their newborn for up to 6 weeks, regardless of where they are staying.
It is very humbling to know that midwives taking over the caseloads of Christchurch midwives are donating half their payment / income to the original LMC in the quake damaged city.
It’s a huge boost to the morale of all of us to see the generosity of this wonderful profession of which I feel so proud to be a member. Women and babies are our focus and our first priority as is the case with all health workers and others at this time of emergency and tragedy.

I didn’t know him personally but Claude sounded like an amazing man. My sincere condolences go to the family. I would also like to share a comforting message from the Bible. It frequently speaks of a time when our loved ones who are asleep in death will be brought back to life here on earth. One instance being at John 5:28. I hope this can bring a little peace and comfort at this time.
Cathy my prayers are with you and your family. Your father was the true meaning of love ,devotion and sacrifice for the love of his family. They just don’t make those type of men anymore.??

Come to think of it, the First Contact War could probably provide a good explanation for the militarist trait. The Alliance may not have been so before, but if your first discovery of an alien civilization immediately escalates into war, that would probably leave a lasting effect on cultural tendencies (shock and distrust turning into latent xenophobia, see Cerberus and Terra First) and industrial programs (military arms buildup in order to defend against perceived threats that did not exist before).
That being said, if you want to start as the Alliance before any contact with alien life was made, there may not be a reason for said militarism to exist.
OTOH, even if you rely on ethos shift, it could result in a Systems Alliance that does not actually resemble the one from ME much, simply because your first contact with an alien civ does not escalate into a war? So perhaps it'd be safer to just pick militarism anyways, even if it'd be slightly premature. | 57b01e18eadf404398dadc46cc2e35c9 | 196 |
Stryker’s Sustainability Solutions (Stryker) division is the leading provider of reprocessing and remanufacturing services for single-use medical devices (SUDs). Reprocessing is the practice of inspecting, cleaning, function testing, sterilizing and packaging SUDs so that they can be clinically and safely used again. Reprocessing is one of the most impactful and widely used sustainability initiatives in U.S. hospitals today. By reprocessing SUDs with Stryker, hospitals can significantly reduce the amount of waste they send to the landfill and give a second life to medical devices that would have otherwise been tossed out. Last year, Stryker helped their customers divert 13.2M pounds of waste from landfills and save $339.5M in supply costs.
This year Stryker is proud to partner with the NFF once more. As a result of this partnership, 10,000 trees will be planted in conjunction with the NFF’s effort to plant 50 million trees across our National Forests by 2023.
Stryker is excited to continue the partnership with the NFF and to help restore National Forests across the US. To learn more, visit sustainability.stryker.com.
This June, NFF staff had the opportunity to visit a local reforestation site on the Lolo National Forest. This is what we learned. | https://www.nationalforests.org/blog/reprocessing-single-use-medical-devices-for-our-forests-with-strykers-sustainability-solutions | 293 |
Technology is an integral part of frontline customer service. From information kiosks to digital signage, from mobile point of sale devices to the customer’s own smartphones; technology is part and parcel of even the most basic face-to-face interactions on the service floor.
While much is made of online shopping replacing retail shopping, less is discussed about how online shopping is shaping customer’s expectations in stores. Amazon, Zappo’s, and the like are catering to a wide swath of the population that likes to be able to shop without ever having to deal with another human being. They prefer, and even expect, technology to serve them what they want, when they want it.
Innovations like this one are popping up in a variety of industries and serving a wide array of needs. In some cases, I would argue that self service is the best service.
The increase in retail self-service options certainly has to do with management of labor costs, but it is most importantly a response to consumer demand. A study out of the UK found that 2/3 wanted more self checkout lanes, and Mike Guhl, vice president of store and credit systems at Home Depot, said the following in a piece by NBC News:
“There’s probably one-third who love self-checkout and want to use it all the time. They don’t want to interact with people, they just want to get in and out. Then one-third hate it and won’t use it ever. Then another third will go wherever the line is shorter.”
So, while it’s obvious that not all customers desire self service, many do — and here’s the rub — they do, until they don’t.
In a retail environment particularly, it is crucial to make sure that there is always adequate human support to backup any self-service process. Even those who want self-service, often change their tune quickly when the technology does not perform as expected.
Then they not only desire human help, they expect it.
When it comes to self service, human support is like an insurance policy — there for when things go wrong but out of mind when things go right. The best retailers make sure that self-service kiosks always have adequate support staff ready and able to assist.
As organizations find larger shares of business coming from autonomous, digitally-serviced customers, they would do well to remember that self service should never mean solo service.

Don't bother with part time jobs if you have enough pocket money to spend. Most jobs you can do don't pay well anyways.
Go learn that instrument. Whatever job experience you have at this age is irrelevant in the future anyways.
But whatever you decide to do, make sure it's not a waste of time. After army, you don't really have enough time to pick up music...
There will be Uni so your life will always be packed with other more important stuff like exams, learning to drive, picking up chicks, going out with friends and of course, part time jobs that actually pay decently. | 80d9d59993184c5fb7ca849acc728b82 | 130 |
Criminal court cases in Wolverhampton and Stafford are taking months longer to complete than they did eight years ago, new figures show.
Experts have warned that cuts to criminal justice have resulted in a “crumbling” system, leaving victims and defendants in limbo for months or even years.
The latest figures from the Ministry of Justice – which covers trials that were wrapped up during the first three months of this year – show the average time between a crime being committed and the case being completed at Wolverhampton Crown Court stood at 556 days.
This was 215 days longer than during the same period in 2011.
That’s an increase of 63 per cent, despite the number of cases dropping from 598 to 325 over the same period.
In Stafford the average time between a crime being committed and the case being completed at Stafford Crown Court stood at 633 days, 88 days longer than during the same period in 2011.
This was an increase of 16 per cent, despite the number of cases dropping from 243 to 155.
The figures refer to the average time elapsed after an offence was committed, meaning trials for historical offences could distort the figures.
Stephanie Boyce, vice president of the Law Society of England and Wales, said cuts to the criminal justice system risked undermining the UK’s reputation for upholding the law.
The length of time taken for police or the Crown Prosecution Service to bring charges in the cases resolved at Wolverhampton Crown Court and Stafford Crown Court have also increased.
In the three months to March 2011, the average time between the offence, or alleged offence, taking place and charges being brought was 145 days in Wolverhampton and 330 days in Stafford.
By 2019, this had risen to 343 days – an increase of 137 per cent – in Wolverhampton; and in Stafford it had risen to 414 days, an increase of 25 per cent.
Police officers blame cuts to their ranks – forces in England and Wales have lost almost 22,000 officers since 2010 – and reductions in funding for the delays.
John Apter, national chairman of the Police Federation of England and Wales, said: “At all stages of the investigative process, there are fewer officers dealing with escalating demands.
A spokeswoman for HM Courts and Tribunals Service said: “We are working hard to reduce the time it takes for cases to go through the courts and waiting times are at their lowest in four years, despite an increasingly complex caseload including more historical offences.

Stock market making an investment may be a wonderful way to attain a little extra cash flow. You’ll be blown away by exactly how much profit you are making. The reality is that generating whenever you can take a good basis of knowledge to reach achievement. Continue reading so you can be a little more informed about the basics of making an investment in shares.
Maintaining points simple is applicable in all of the parts of existence and particularly in stock industry investing. Streamline your expenditure measures. Whether it is in evaluating prior overall performance for forecast, or carrying out the specific business, avoid ground-side-effect of the procedure.
One of the best actions you can take to stay ahead of the process is to talk to a stock professional. Stockbrokers or good friends who succeed with stocks and shares are good individuals to speak with, because they frequently know which companies work most effectively to buy. Study from the professionals to get a single oneself!
Do not have a look at buying the stock market like a pastime. It is actually a thing that has many threats included and it needs to be undertaken quite seriously. Should you not have plenty of time, work, and patience to consider it very seriously, then you must not have yourself associated with it.
Know the perils of various kinds of investments. Stocks and shares are often riskier than bonds, for example. Riskier purchases, usually, have higher payoff potentials, whilst much less dangerous vehicles often offer reduced, much more regular returns. Knowing the variations in between distinct autos can permit you to get the best selections about how to deal with your money, in the brief and extended conditions.
When starting in making an investment in stock market trading, be sure to not spend too much. Many individuals have the oversight of placing all of their cash into stocks and shares and wind up spending it all. Set up restrictions to the quantity you are likely to gamble on and no matter what, tend not to review this reduce.
It is important to bear in mind when committing that cash is always a choice. If you do not much like the current condition in the market place, or are unsure of what to get, there exists nothing wrong with positioning funds. You may put the income right into a savings account, certification of down payment, or buy temporary treasuries. Usually do not strain yourself into investing in stocks and shares, if you do not believe the timing is appropriate.
Tend not to allow the stock exchange shock you. Even when the swings from the markets and the turbulence reported about the media will give you pause, consider dividend stocks as a conservative risk-free haven. Their constant yields tend to be better than connections, and firms have a very long background of paying out benefits are only as secure a great investment as bonds.
Seeking back again at how much you knew just before reading this article post, do you feel such as you figured out a few things that you can use and discover success with stocks and shares? When you now know, a minimum of one more point than you probably did prior to check this out report, then that’s one step towards good results. Now, do your greatest to discover just as much as you may about stock market trading, to help you use it when you start. | a074b19374f95843bdfee4dd6ed00532 | 667 |

As someone who also left null to krab in high-sec, i actually don't mind the DBS/ESS system, i don't think that's the issue at all. (though it's a cause) Previously, Supers/Carriers would stay in high end systems where they could get super efficency going. which meant the systems next door/a few jumps out, were left untouched and i could sit there and get 100% of my bounties. but now, i go somewhere else, rat the system up to 4-5 with the DBS sitting at 120-130%, then a super jumps in and in 2 days it's down to 85% and i have to either accept shitty bounties, or go work up another system, rinse and repeat. | 6eb16db484444171837571cae603eef3 | 171 |

From Julius Burghold[1] Frankfurt-am-M[ain], 17 Arndt Street, 19 April 1920 Highly esteemed Professor, From the papers I learned that you have been advocating reducing the cost of for- eign literature by means of a book exchange.[2] In December of last year I had al- ready submitted a proposal to the government along the same lines. Please refer to the enclosure for the content of my submission to the Foreign Office.[3] A copy of this submission was communicated by me to the Reich’s Minister of the Interior, to the Prussian Minister for the Sciences, etc., and to the General Secretary of the Prussian Academy.[4] Furthermore, I contacted the presidents of the universities there and here. The president of the local university, Privy Councillor Kautzsch, discussed the matter in January at the Conference of University Presidents in Halle there a commission was formed for further treatment of the matter.[5] From the For- eign Office I received a response of March 11th, a copy of which is enclosed.[6] I point out that the export ban “envisioned” therein had already been imposed before the date of that letter (11 March 1920): newspapers had already published it, while it was still unknown at the Foreign Office. The secretary of the Academy wrote me on March 26th that the Academy had followed my suggestion of bringing to the at- tention of the Reich’s Minister of Foreign Affairs a foreign book swap “by printer’s sheet number” (I had never made such a suggestion, of course).[7] From the outset I had never counted on finding backing for my proposal from the German book trade. In fact, the Association of German Booksellers even de- clared that although my proposal certainly may be in the interest of German sci- ence, it was not in the interest of the German book market. The thereafter estab- lished Agency for Foreign Trade of Books in Leipzig, which has since released the book export ban and is solely responsible for issuing export permits (and can even withhold permission from a private German citizen to give or exchange a volume abroad, or charge a fee of at least 1.– mark), is working directly counter to acqui- sition of foreign literature. Lately, W. Borgius suggested in the Frankfurter Zeitung (14th April, 1st morn- ing edition), just like I had, a “compensatory exchange” abroad.[8] Because of the evident disinterest of the responsible authorities, however, there seems to me to be no prospect that my proposed route would be taken if one were not successful in moving these authorities finally to take decisive steps. The route I suggested still seems to me the only one leading to the goal and this goal must be reached if Ger- man science is not to go to complete ruin. | https://einsteinpapers.press.princeton.edu/vol9-trans/340 | 619 |
FOR TODAY … 3 November, 2009.
Outside My Window… inconsistent skies, nearly denuded trees.
I am thinking… that I am not looking forward to winter.
From the kitchen… thinking maybe burgers on the grill.
I am wearing… a silk tie-dyed-looking and sequiny shirt, black slacks and shoes; necklace I beaded.
I am creating… hope to finish soon my quilt top from Thimbleberries 2008. I’m tired of looking at the darned thing.
I am going… to meet a buddy for lunch and shopping today!
I am reading… just finished my lastest installment in the Fairacre series by Miss Read, “Village Centennary”.
I am hearing… a conversation from several offices away.
Around the house… need to dust and vacuum.
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week… nothing remarkable. It’s quiet, which is nice.
My Picture Thought … I really love what Kaffe Fassett does with color, especially in this painting. It makes me happy just looking at it.
“denuded”…a new word for my vocabulary lol.
Would you recommend the series of books you are reading?

Thassians have maintained their culture as well as their social mores. Therefore, during the year they organize several events on the island. Every summer, different plays of ancient drama and comedy take place in the ancient theatre. In Theologos, a revival of a traditional wedding occurs in the middle of the summer. Last but not least, concerts are organized in several areas.
On the New Year’s Day, the children knock the doors of each home to sing the Christmas carols. They bake the “vasilopita”, usually a traditional meat pie or a cake, as every family does around Greece. There is always the lucky one who finds the “flouri”, a coin. A special custom in Thassos is the scattering of leaves. Everyone puts a leaf from an olive tree at the fireplace and they make a wish to come true.
Every year the Thassians prepare themselves for the great event of the Carnival. The celebration is culminated during the last weekend. The events take place on the roads of the villages with abundant wine, food and a lot of dancing! In Panagia and Potamia a parade with floats takes place lampooning the current events of the country and of the island. In the end of the Carnival the “King” is put into flames. They burn a huge float. On Shrove Monday, the first day of the Lent, the residents fly kites in the sky, they eat Lenten snacks(“mezedes”) and they drink “ouzo” or “tsipouro”.
Easter is the greatest celebration of the Orthodoxy, when the resurrection of Jesus Christ is celebrated. On Easter Monday, the residents of Kalyvia revive the ancient custom called “Yia vrex Aprilim” which is a call to the month April for rain. The residents dance and pray to God to rain in order their vineyards not to go dry and to have a satisfactory yield. On the second Day of Easter the residents of Theologos transfer the icon of the resurrection scene from a small church to the monastery of Archangel Michael by following a path. They spent the night at the yard of the monastery and then they bring the icon back. | ae21526e0521c9aa3e5d1c2c37bd4924 | 467 |
CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. - Jim Cramer and Joe Jenkins talked turkey over burgers and hot dogs Friday, something the veteran hunters have not had much opportunity to do in the years since they were wounded in Iraq.
"Peaceful" was how Cramer described his morning on the hunting grounds of Letterkenny Army Depot. "I didn't see any turkey, but I heard them."
"I had fun," said Jenkins, confined to a wheelchair since 2004. "We heard turkeys. We saw turkeys. We just didn't get a shot at them."
Both men were stalking the elusive wild turkeys in the company of other experienced hunters as part of the U.S. Army Wounded Warrior Program. | ef231d9763d8e6de80f1f5226904569c | 150 |
This guy has a point. Its the idea that when the office is held by an "R" hat everyone goes to sleep on the 2A. Obama sold a ton of guns and the NRA vilified him in every magazine at every turn and yet nothing was really done on the federal level to change any gun laws. Meanwhile Trump took the Bumpybois and is on record saying he doesn't really like suppressors. Its true that the EDIT Gun Control Act of 1986 was passed under Reagan. I don't think its a fair assessment to say that Republicans are out against the 2A, I just think most of the Republican politicians are Elmer Fudds and are a bit indifferent when it comes to actual technical knowledge. | 9021596e3f9542e68a89ca0a20ccbb2b | 153 |

Most people would have heard of the Final Fantasy series. Its been going for decades now and Final Fantasy 13 or XIII actually released in 2009 in Japan. Now, five years later, on October 9th, FFXIII is coming to PC. The linearity of this FF title has been a mild sticking point to reviewers of the console versions but this hasn't stop it from being one of the fastest selling editions of the series, enjoying reported sales of over 7 million copies on console versions alone by the end of 2013.
The fast paced RPG has long been anticipated by the PC audience and the release date is within weeks. Speculating what sort of PC the beautiful world of Cocoon needs to present all its colourful imaginings is now moot as we have the full Final Fantasy XIII system requirements on hand. So let's see if you can run FF13 on your computer.
First thing of note is that the minimum requirements for FFXIII are relatively low by today's PC standards. With only a 1GB RAM requirement even for recommended settings, which should certainly open the game up to many PC gamers. The CPU/ GPU recommended requirements for Final Fantasy XIII are a little more substantial, suggesting the beauty of the game but the hardware requirement called for is still a couple of generations old. The hard drive space required is on the large size as well for FFXIII which is expected from a behemoth of an RPG game like this, particularly from a series renowned for its high-quality Pixar-like pre-rendered cut scenes.
As you may have spotted in the news earlier today, the entire Final Fantasy XIII trilogy will be coming to PC and so its fairly safe to presume that each of the other two FFXIII episodes, called FFXIII-2 and Lightning Returns-FFXIII, will also have similar system requirements to this first title. Don't think too hard about the fact that a game which is 13th in a series is also a trilogy, it's a JRPG after all and these titles often come with their own rules. In point of note, there are in fact a staggering 79 games release in the Final Fantasy series at the time of writing, despite the release of Final Fantasy XV next year.
This is all very exciting and we only have a few weeks to go until PC gamers everywhere can immerse themselves in the full Square Enix FFXIII experience. Now while looking forward to this, we can allow ourselves a rekindled faith that one day Final Fantasy X will also arrive on PC, and the rest while we're at it, because it certainly seems we're getting a bit more love from Japanese developers these days. What do you make of these modest system requirements? Do you plan to pick up the trilogy? Let us know!
This game was absolutely stunning on the PS3, a true work of art, so the system requirements shouldn't really come at too much of a surprise. Still though, for how good the game looked out side of cut scenes, I expected the hardware requirement to be much higher.
Very refreshing for those with older systems. Talk about well optimised.
True, PS3 was able to do it with lower specs than the minimum on PC. PS3 only had 512MB of RAM total (256 GPU, 256 system), even if it was only 720p that, was impressive. I imagine the PC version will look much better though.
I don't think ffxiii is half as bad as people claim it to be, but I haven't played any other ff game so I guess I can't compare it like that.
I am about 95% through the game, and I have enjoyed it so far, might get ffxiii-2 and lightning returns on PC.
It's a slog I know that much. It's kind of strange though, I stopped playing once I got to the open-world bit, which seems like a backwards way of doing things. Still strangely interested in playing it again though.
I think the story of the game was guided well through it's linearity, sadly gamers were more interested in the openness of (or lack of) rather than the actual story line, which is what I focus on.
The battle mechanics themselves weren't terribly bad, but wasn't the best either.
At least FFXV is looking good. | https://www.game-debate.com/news/14427/final-fantasy-xiii-system-requirements | 881 |
Reminds me when it sank in for me as a man the different messages and lives women lead compared to men. First year living on my own I took my new dog on a 3 am walk around an empty city. Climb to the top of a hill in the park, lied down in the grass, and just sat there for the longest time reflecting on how amazingly beautiful the city was at this time. Next thought was how I wanted to share this with my girlfriend and have her do a similar solo journey through the empty city.......light bulb :( | accfe31497724bf3a79c95b1b84e26a6 | 115 |
Mortgage 1, a Michigan-based mortgage lender, has launched a new application to assist homebuyers electronically sign (eSign) mortgage-closing documents. The application, called Fast Pass, speeds up the closing progress and promotes safety during the COVID-19 pandemic.
With FastPass, closing appointments are shorter and social distancing guidelines are more easily followed, the company said. Borrowers are able to eSign a bulk of documents ahead of time in the app before meeting to wet sign the few documents that need in-person notarization.
In addition, FastPass is compatible with the company’s Pro SNAP application that lets borrowers calculate payments, scan and upload documents from their phone, monitor their progress, and communicate with their loan officer.

The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) is expanding U.S. Highway 85 to a four-lane highway from Watford City to the Long X Bridge over the Little Missouri River. NDDOT is launching this highway widening project by starting project design, right-of-way acquisitions and utility relocations along the corridor.
“Highway 85 is a critical route for transportation and commerce in western North Dakota, yet it continues to see a high number of traffic crashes,” Gov. Doug Burgum said. “This expansion project will improve the flow of traffic for the public, business and industry and enhance safety as we work toward Vision Zero in our state.”
Located in the energy fields of western North Dakota, this stretch of U.S. 85 moves about 4,500 vehicles a day. The 11-mile, roughly $104 million expansion project is the second phase of a multi-phase plan to four-lane the corridor.
NDDOT is applying for a federal grant through Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) to help fund a portion of the project. This grant along with state funding would assist the Department in widening this segment of U.S. 85.
“On a project of this magnitude we work in collaboration with many stakeholders to make sure we are serving the needs of everyone impacted,” said NDDOT Director Bill Panos. “Our collaborative approach also benefits the project itself and gives us a better result for the impacted communities, businesses and the State of North Dakota.”
It takes time to complete all the steps needed for a major road project, especially one that adds more lanes. Once the four-lane project is designed and land is secured, the project may be bid in late 2022 with construction starting in 2023.
The first phase of the multi-phase U.S. 85 plan is currently underway as construction is progressing on a new four-lane Long X Bridge, approximately 15 miles south of Watford City. The bridge is expected to be completed in 2021. | 832a3ddded6e511f36eb8673189d7624 | 420 |
Bulgaria began the transformation of its agricultural sector early in the reform process. The chosen path of land reform was radical and aimed at restoring the status quo enjoyed half a century ago. The outcome of this slow and complicated process was a very fragmented structure of land ownership and farming structure dominated by a large number of small private family farms. Reforming land ownership rights to the status of fifty years ago created a dualistic farming structure of individual and commercial farms. Within the category of individual farms, there are a large number of small subsistence farms, most of which belong to elderly people. At the beginning of reform, they were considered as concomitant structures, stemming from pre-reform household plots with limited influence on the formation of the sector. However, with the prolonged land reform, missing land markets and difficult processes of creating the infrastructure of a market economy, it was realised that subsistence farming in Bulgaria was not a temporary phenomenon. | https://www.fao.org/family-farming/detail/ar/c/335472/ | 186 |
I feel you. Been trying for number 3 since December 2019 with not a hint of a line. I know I am incredibly lucky to have my two but I can't help but be sad about it when month by month my period shows up.
My friend who started trying at the same time is due in 3 weeks, my best friend is 7 months pregnant and today 2 people in my small office told me they are pregnant.
I am honestly delighted for them but I had to go and have a quiet 5 minutes in the bathroom to get my shit together after doing the scan photos. Also couldn't help but feel a bit resentful. I hated myself for it but it was still there.

THE raw, raspy sounds of Howling Black Soul will be filling the four walls of Peggy Sue's Music Bar next week, when the dirty blues band return for their fifth monthly residency.
This time a special guest will be supporting the Southend three piece, "the one man blues band that is Paul Woodley".
Howling Black Soul say they initially sprang from a shared obsession for bands such as Led Zeppelin, Free, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath and other late Sixties/early Seventies blues. Feeling that this type of music was not being produced any more, they decided to do something about it.
The gig at Peggy Sue's Music Bar, in London Road, Leigh, starts at 7:30pm. | https://www.echo-news.co.uk/news/14500187.howling-black-soul-back-at-peggy-sues-with-special-guest-paul-woodley/ | 157 |
SAP S/4HANA is making its mark in the downstream industry. As of yesterday, SAP's new solutions for the oil and gas industry have been available with their full range of features. SAP’s integrated in-memory database technology and the new denormalization procedure accelerate data processing considerably, providing the basis for digital transformation. Although these new SAP solutions can only now be fully utilized, the Implico Group already has a globally unmatched wealth of expertise in this area. As a long-term development partner of SAP, the Hamburg-based consultancy company has developed the official SAP solutions for Secondary Distribution Management as add-on and has already supported multiple pilot projects on several continents.
Today twelve students from northern Germany paid a visit to software and consulting company Implico. The budding young computer scientists visited various departments to experience first-hand what it means to shape digital change in the oil and gas industry.
Oil and gas companies will be gathering at The Woodlands, Texas, for this year's Best Practices for Oil & Gas from 16 to 18 October 2017 to discuss the innovations available to help companies improve their processes and grow their businesses. One of the key questions on the agenda will be how the digital transformation can help make processes more efficient, reduce costs and deliver new services to end customers. On its booth with the tagline "The Digital Future of Downstream", the Implico Group will be advising visitors on how to integrate and automate their business processes and how to implement loyalty programs that increase customer retention.

IN FEBRUARY, murderer Robbie McIntosh was convicted of a brutal attempted murder on an innocent Dundee dog-walker, whilst on home leave prior to being considered for parole.
McIntosh had previously been sentenced to a minimum of 15 years after being found guilty of stabbing a woman 29 times, murdering her in 2002. He was allowed to spend one week per month at his mother’s home while serving the final portion of his assigned punishment period as preparation for consideration for release on parole.
McIntosh was given leave on 2 August last year, the 16th anniversary of the murder. 5 days later he carried out his viciousattempted murder on dog walker, Linda McDonald, in Templeton Woods, Dundee.
This appalling case raises serious questions about our justice system and has led the Scottish Conservatives to demand a review into home leave for dangerous criminals.
Home leave is a temporary release available to prisoners. Temporary release is where a prisoner is given access to the community for up to 8 days at a time before parole. This is sometimes for compassionate or health reasons, or to prepare an offender for full release.
Home leave, in particular, is considered a very important aspect of the rehabilitation process that aids prisoners’ maintenance of family contact and assists in an offender’s reintegration into life outside of a detention facility.
The Scottish Prison Service claim that, before being granted home leave, an offender undergoes review including a psychological report, analysis of behaviour while in prison and social work reports and that a number of checks are undertaken with the police, community based social workers, health professionals and other agencies. By nature, however, home leave is granted before a prisoner is evaluated by a parole board, as the offender’s conduct is a strong piece of evidence in the consideration and granting of a parole licence.
Parole boards employ more systematic mechanisms to clear an offender for long-term release, and when an offender is cleared by the thorough evaluation and released the continuity of that release is contingent on a strict set of parameters set out in the licence agreement made between the offender and the parole board.
However, the process by which an offender is granted temporary release before being appraised and scrutinised by a parole board can be seen as counterintuitive and dangerous in the cases of high-risk offenders and life sentence prisoners.
Following the McIntosh case, the Scottish Prison Service undertook a review of the process of granting home leave, but is it not vital that a more in-depth evaluation is undertaken?
A freedom of information request revealed that in the past three financial years, the number of incidents and breaches of agreements on home leave have decreased, yet despite the encouraging statistics a disastrous incident such as the re-offence of Robbie McIntosh was still able to occur.
The family of Mr. McIntosh’s most recent victim also seeks a wider probe into the issue and hope that that investigation will lead to the implementation of stricter policies preventing dangerous individuals such as McIntosh being released into the community.
This case may be an extreme example, but it taps into a wider public concern.
A freedom of information request revealed that in 2017 alone there were 4,160 instances of home leave being granted and of the 4,160 instances there were 27 incidents that occurred on home leave in the 2016-2017 financial year. Many of these instances of home leave were without supervision.
The SPS state that only those prisoners whose risks have been very carefully assessed as manageable in the community are given temporary release. However, these figures show otherwise. Incidents occur when warning signs go undetected and there is a lack of supervision.
It is the anticipation of the general public that prisoners are supposed to serve their sentences, and that expectation does not seem unreasonable. Offenders such as Robbie McIntosh, who are convicted of murder are handed down deserved life sentences under the law. But life sentences incur, a punishment period of much less than life. The longest punishment period served in a Scottish Prison was thirty-seven years, after which the offender was released on parole.
The issue was raised and the Scottish Government’s leniency came into light at First Minister’s Questions on 22 February 2018, when Ruth Davidson criticised the government’s ‘soft touch’ approach when it comes to the release of prisoners and challenged Nicola Sturgeon to stop home leave for convicted murderers.
In response, Nicola Sturgeon denied there were any such problems or that that was her Government’s approach.
The Scottish Conservatives are demanding that the government develop a stricter criterion for the granting of home leave that refuses to allow for high risk life sentence offenders to be released into the community without being properly evaluated and supervised.
Speaking outside the court following the conviction, Mrs McDonald's husband said: "We are confident in the judgement passed today and it will hopefully mean life means life”.
Of course, he shouldn’t have to simply “hope” and I intend to bring forward a private members’ bill to Parliament later this year that will grant powers to judges to give Whole Life Sentences.
In the meantime, home leave for convicted murderers before being properly scrutinised by a parole board must be stopped. We must act in a way that favours and protects innocent victims instead of criminals and correct this broken policy before another family is subjected to danger at the hands of a convicted criminal.

I was immediately intrigued by the courses offered by CompuScholar, Inc. the company formerly known as Homeschool Programming. We use the computer in our school every single day and yet have never taken the time to do any sort of course or increase our understanding of information technology. I thought the beginner course, Digital Savvy, would be too simple for my teens as they were doing much of what was in the course already, and their Java Programming looked to be a bit advanced for us; however, their Web Design course looked absolutely perfect!
Web Design teaches the student to create their own web page using HTML and CSS. Although I have a blog I do not consider myself computer literate in any way. And although the children have been brought up using computers, they are about as literate as I am! This Web Design course looked like a perfect way to formally teach them (and me) a little more computer-speak, as well as help them to design their own web page as step towards their future careers.
As the lessons progress, the student is able to create two of their own web pages.
How Did We Use Web Design?
Both Thomas and Lillie used this program. Thomas, because he wanted to learn how to make a landing-place from which he could link his Music-Based Facebook Page, blog and recordings; Lillie, because she also wanted a landing-place for her Jewellery business which would include her Etsy page, Facebook page and blog. For these goals CompuScholar, Inc’s Web Design course was perfect.
Each video was high quality and easy to understand. The lesson text was useful to have up for when you take the test, just in case there is anything you haven’t fully understood from the video. The tests are fairly easy and are immediately marked. You have three attempts.
What Did We Think of CompuScholar?
Both Thomas and Lillie enjoyed using this program, with Thomas probably getting more out of it than Lillie. I think Thomas was quite surprised by how much he already knew. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I had picked up simply by being a blogger and I have to admit that the HTML code in the text part of my blog now makes complete sense to me.
I suspect both children would have enjoyed putting together their own web page on a topic which interests them rather than doing the one the course recommended on Raptors. I understand that they will be able to transfer the knowledge they are learning and build their own, but they did not enjoy building something which they would never have any use for.
All in all, this is a thorough web design course which is in-depth enough for those with some knowledge of computers and yet simple enough to understand if one has very little knowledge of computers.

A company called Ringing Bells in India is selling their “Freedom 251” smartphone for … wait for it … $4 dollars! Yeah, talk about dirt cheap!
The phone supposedly comes with a four-inch display, a 3.2-megapixel camera, and eight gigabytes of storage.
Again, it’s just $4 dollars. Which sounds too good to be true, right?
Well, according to an article in Mashable.com, 70 million people have registered for the phone and it’s expected to start shipping to the U.S. by the end of this month. Speaking of cheap, one guy won’t ever have to worry about picking up his new wife’s phone bill!
Why? Because he married his smartphone in Vegas and happened to document it all on camera.
You know what they say, “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas,” and we really hope this love story actually does! | 301dcdb725958a2eb12b908c012f5db8 | 203 |
CBS' Gary Danielson was criticized for "chuckling as cameras showed an unconscious photographer being put on a stretcher" during Saturday's Georgia-Auburn game, according to Sara Jane Harris of SPORTING NEWS. Danielson later "appeared to ask" if the photographer, Chamberlain Smith, was "paying attention to the game" (SPORTINGNEWS.com, 11/16). The Athletic's Stewart Mandel wrote Danielson's "handling of this photographer injury has been ... not good." SI.com's Pat Forde: "Gary Danielson has called every single element of this collision and injury incorrectly." Rivals.com's Mike Farrell: "Nothing like Gary Danielson laughing at an injury of a woman on the sidelines. My god." The San Antonio Express-News' Mike Finger: "I don't call for firings, as a general rule. But he was the last guy in the stadium (and in the TV audience) to realize a photographer was injured. Then he laughed about it. Then he wondered aloud if she was to blame. If he can't do better than that, get out of the booth" (TWITTER.com, 11/16). However, THE ATHLETIC's John Walters writes Danielson was a "little careless, but hardly malicious." Walters: "When there's no malicious intent, let's forgive and move on, shall we?" Meanwhile, play-by-play announcer Brad Nessler "appreciated the gravity of the injury quickly and was able to curb Danielson's inaccurate speculation." Additionally, sideline reporter Jamie Erdahl deserves credit for being "on the scene in seconds" (THEATHLETIC.com, 11/18).
NOT A GOOD LOOK: In K.C., Grathoff & Newell noted FS1's Dan Hellie and Ben Leber "made mention of the father" of Kansas WR Kwamie Lassiter during Saturday's KU-Oklahoma State game, and Hellie "even cracked a joke." However, Lassiter's father died in January. Leber later apologized on Twitter (K.C. STAR, 11/16). | https://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Daily/Issues/2019/11/18/Media/Danielson.aspx | 442 |

Class A short-season minor league baseball is about as far away from the majors as you can get. Still, that’s the expectation of everyone on the Mets’ affiliate Brooklyn Cyclones – including their manager.
“I definitely want to get to the big leagues,” Howard Johnson said before his team practiced yesterday at KeySpan Park in preparation for tonight’s opener on the road against the Staten Island Yankees.
Johnson is entering his first year at the helm, after spending last season as the team’s hitting coach. He replaced Edgar Alfonzo, Edgardo’s brother, who was promoted to Class A Port St. Lucie.
His players are equally enthused. Most are just out of college and into professional baseball and have only vague memories at best of Johnson and his days with the 1986 Mets. But they know it can be an advantage to play under someone with his experience.
And although many of the players are just getting to know their new manager, they plan on taking a lot from the experience.
Since this is Johnson’s first managerial position, he knows there will be some adjustments for him, just not as many as there will be for his players.

No big event happened to make me start. I just got tired of not liking how I looked and the unhappiness about my appearance took more of my energy than working out ever would. Along the way I learned to take it easy on myself and not expect perfect adherence to any program, schedule or diet. Nobody is perfect, just aim for consistency instead. Also, recovery and listening to your body. I allow for some time off when I feel I need it because it's better to miss a few workouts then actually injure myself and miss several weeks of workouts. | 1dbe10282df140d58b95e4140bf9c40b | 112 |
This Rain Barrel System is an easy way for your customers to collect, store and dispense rainwater.

So it was unanimously agreed that a 49/46 score is indefensible, yet Reyes only won one round unanimously, TWO judges gave Jones round 2, he could have dominated r3 and it would not even have mattered. The same critique Sotis faced should be directed onto Rosales.
What is so devious about this is that because of how the cards were written Jones two refs could give away different rounds and still secure a win for Jones and have all the flack directed on the 49/46 card, but not have to defend a single specific round. | 6a84cb5e807e450d8036891ac86c84b2 | 116 |
Twenty-six counties in Pennsylvania are now under quarantine to combat the spread of the invasive spotted lanternfly, whose presence threatens an agricultural and economic disaster across the state.
A winter break from the scourge of the spotted lanternfly is coming to an end in Pennsylvania.
The state Department of Agriculture has expanded the quarantine zone for the invasive species by an additional 12 counties, bringing the total up 26 as the insect's reach spreads westward.
With the 2020 spring hatch just around the corner, state officials imposed the new quarantine zones as a defensive measure. The new dozen counties, while not completely infested, have several municipalities with a known infestation.
"The Spotted Lanternfly is more than a pest in the literal sense," said agriculture secretary Russell Redding. "It's wreaking havoc for home and business owners; kids who just want to play outside; Pennsylvania agriculture and the economy of the state we all call home. Whether you think it's your job or not, we need every Pennsylvanian to keep their eyes peeled for signs of this bad bug – to scrape every egg mass, squash every bug, and report every sighting. We need to unite over our hatred for this pest for our common love: Pennsylvania."
A recent Penn State study estimated that the infestation could cost the state $50 million annually and shed an estimated 484 jobs per year.
The expanded quarantine list now includes Allegheny, Beaver, Blair, Columbia, Cumberland, Huntingdon, Juniata, Luzerne, Mifflin, Northumberland, Perry, and York counties. Berks, Bucks, Carbon, Chester, Dauphin, Delaware, Lancaster, Lebanon, Lehigh, Monroe, Montgomery, Northampton, Philadelphia, and Schuylkill counties were already on the list.
Pennsylvania's 2020 Farm Bill proposes $3 million in new funding to combat Spotted Lanternfly, plus an extra $1 million to address any emergent agricultural disaster.

Very nice golf course with a great clubhouse and a beautiful layout with waterhazards and small rivers. One negative; the greens are in bad condition (August/September 2016) and they cut them not regulary. So one day they are normal, the other they are slow and the next they are very slow :-( Nice staff and good pro shop. | https://www.golfboo.com/en/golf-course/pirin-golf-country-club-ian-woosnam-golf-course/ | 72 |
Here is something we are unlikely to repeat any time soon, not because its super rare or exotic. Its just a conversion that in the real world just isn’t done all that much. Rob has taken this Audi 80, and equipped it with a 1.8 20V Turbo engine originating from a Mk4 Golf (or similar). These engines have small turbos that produce a quick spool that translates into a very fun B road toy.
Even though the 20v engine is a fairly compact 4 cylinder, it didn’t leave a lot of room for a downpipe. The space was so tight infact that we used a 2.5″ tube diameter. This will be more than capable of flowing the 350-400bhp that this car is intended to have.
A little cutting, grinding, and welding later we have the downpipe finished. Using our 2D radius bends to give a nice smooth direction change for the exhaust gasses as they exit the turbo via the bolted laser cut flange, and passing through our stainless steel flexi joint.
With the downpipe complete, we can now begin on the rest of the system. We are using 2 silencer boxes to help keep the noise levels down on this Audi. We also make use of the OEM fitting points as they are more than up to the job of supporting the new system, which is likely to be a lot lighter than the long gone OEM exhaust system.
At Walton Motorsport we primarily design our systems for optimum flow. As you may have picked up on, more flow equals more power! Every bend in the system slows the exhaust gasses down and restricts flow. As a result, we only use bends and direction changes when absolutely necessary.
Finishing the system with a 3″ tip directly from the rear silencer. We felt this best suited the overall appearance of the car.
Unfortunatly this car is currently not complete enough to run, so there is no soundclip to accompany this write up. But hopefully Rob will return at some point with a running car. | https://www.waltonmotorsport.com/audi-80-turbo/ | 420 |
As we reported on last night, after Scott Sinclair scored his winner he ran behind the goals to get to the Celtic fans. On his way there he passed the Hearts fans and some tried to take a swipe at the player.
Celtic fans have been having their say on the issue, some think there was no real intent in what the fans done, while others feel this could have been an unsavoury incident if they had connected.
You can watch the clip here and make up your own mind.
I can confirm Hearts have been in contact with Police Scotland and this matter is now subject of a criminal investigation. Hearts will work closely with the police and provide all relevant information to identify the culprits. The Club will also apply appropriate sanctions against those involved as this type of behaviour will never be tolerated at Tynecastle and such persons are not welcome at our ground.
Next articleIs it Time to Get Excited?
I should think so to! Two yobs tried to connect with Sinclair and some other cretin spat at him. If this hoops fans it would be splashed over the media. Something always happens at this cesspit.
The problem is two fold; Hearts fans and the proximity of them to the playing area.
The proximity of them to the playing area makes the possibility of an attack on, particularly Celtic, players and staff a high risk of happening and of harm.
Celtic has a duty of care to its staff and players and should be expressing serious concerns about this issue.
Ann Budge, who appears to have an opinion on everything should be asked for her views on this.
Something needs to be done before a player gets injured.
The SMSM media portray this cesspit as having the best atmosphere in Scotland but in truth its den of bigotry.A horrible ground with equally horrible fans.
Sadly there are some muppets who call themselves supporters at any club however, Sinclair should know better than to run up to the home support so is hardly blameless. Booked and rightly so. Something always happens at this “cesspit” mainly due to the singing of pro IRA songs and goading of opposition fans. Please do not try to defend your foul, antagonistic support. Are your “supporters” incapable of singing positive songs about a football team rather than about some fanatical terrorist group? How very sad.
Since when was the IRA a terrorist group? They fought and died for their independence, which they eventually won. That is what we are singing about. Don’t compare the real heroes of the IRA with the Provos.
Another thing, I am not john marshall, I am a retired English teacher, and would have used uppercase letters at the beginning of these names, so please get this sorted out.
I agree that anyone caught trying to assault a players should be arrested and banned from matches.
As should any Celtic fan wailing out pro-IRA filth as many were yesterday. Celtic have largely rooted out the animals from Parkhead. I’m not sure what they can do to rid their away support of these knuckle draggers.
Stop trying to justify the actions of your animal fans. Swinecastle is a cess pit of hatred noted for cowardly attacks on rival players.
No justification for it regardless of alleged or imagined provocation.
It would also help if the club itself didn’t encourage a culture of cheating and thuggery among its players.
If it takes forcing the Fearts to play behinf closed doors then so be it.
I saw the incident as it happened. If the same happened at Paradise there would have been an uproar fae the HSFA and the Hunmedia.
Celtic are their fans are the model that every club in the Scotland should aspire to.
Tynecastle and sections of the home support are best described as vile.

1) What is Blue Prism?
Blue Prism is one of the leading software development companies in the automation area. It is a UK-based company helping organizations with one of its popular RPA tools, Blue Prism. The term RPA, which is an acronym of 'Robotic Process Automation', was first introduced by the Blue Prism group.
The Blue Prism tool is primarily designed to create software robots (also called bots). These software robots are nothing but a set of pre-defined commands that help automate rule-based, repetitive tasks, and eliminate or reduce humans work.
2) What does RPA stand for?
RPA is the short form of "Robotic Process Automation". RPA is a special kind of automation technique in which software robots perform a human's tasks. These tasks generally include repetitive, rule-based, and manual processes. The technique helps organizations automate their digital processes across various applications and systems without changing the existing systems or IT infrastructure.
Robotic: Set of codes that acts like a robot and mimic human actions.
Process: Sequence of steps that creates a meaningful activity is known as the process.
Automation: The process performed by software robots without human interaction.
3) What are the main features of RPA Blue Prism?
4) Is there any requirement for coding knowledge to use Blue Prism?
One of the most significant advantages of the Blue Prism tool is that there is no requirement for coding knowledge. The tool is designed using Java Programming Language. It offers developers a user-friendly interface consisting of an advanced visual designer. It helps them to design the automation process using a flow chart like interface. The interface provides drag and drops support for many pre-defined activities, which helps automate business processes sequentially (from START to END).
5) What is meant by Environmental variables in context to Blue Prism?
In Blue Prism, the Environmental variables are special kinds of variables that can remain available for all business processes and objects. Generally, the environmental variables are used as dynamic variables. This makes the availability of these variables easier. Therefore, they can be used whenever there is a requirement of environmental variables throughout the Blue Prism operation.
First, add new data items in the particular 'Process' or 'Object'.
Click on the 'Data Properties'.
Select the 'Environment' option from the 'Exposure' combo-box.
After that, the 'edit box' will change to 'combo box'. Using a combo box, one can select the required environment variable.
Then, click 'OK'.
6) What are the main benefits of the RPA Blue Prism tool?
Maximum possible ROI and tremendous payback with self-funding returns.
An easy and fast implementation that takes 4 to 6 weeks usually.
Robust and powerful analytics stats with a control room.
Supports a double-byte character set that enables us to use processes with double-byte, i.e., Asian languages.
Provides faster bots with front office agents and back-office automation. This helps organizations to improve human-robot communication and productivity.
No requirement of IT skills for the implementation.
7) What are the types of processes that are most suitable for automation with Blue Prism?
Blue Prism is capable of automating such processes, which are stable, repetitive, and rule-based. They occur in the same way every-time and do not require human intelligence. However, Blue Prism is not suitable for processes that are unstable, standardized, and continually changing. This is because they cannot be defined according to any rule.
8) What are the main components of the RPA Blue Prism?
Process Studio: A process studio is defined as the area in the Blue Prism tool that allows developers to create process diagrams for the processes to be automated. The process studio consists of various options, such as variables, control loops, object calls, and business logic, etc. Every process created here includes the Main Page that is executed first.
Object Studio: To automate most business processes, organizations must establish communication with external software or applications. Since Process Studio does not allow this, Object Studio is included in Blue Prism to perform this functionality. Object Studio allows developers to create VBO (Visual Business Objects).
9) What is the role of VBO in Blue Prism?
VBO is a short form of "Visual Business Objects". These are the diagrammatic programs that can be created in Object Studio.
These visual business objects provide an interface that can interact with external applications. The interface cannot be formed by using Process Studio; it is only generated using the environment given in the Object Studio within the Blue Prism tool.
10) What, according to you, is the proper way to create a simple process in RPA Blue Prism?
First, launch the Blue Prism program from the window.
Click on the 'Studio Icon'.
Then, input the name and description of the process.
After that, a process will be created, and it will be displayed beneath the Processes heading. Here, double-click on the process name to open it.
Once a process is opened, we are required to add stages for the process. To add stages, we can use the Stages toolbar from the left-sidebar and drag and drop the necessary stages into the workspace.
After adding the required stages, we can move forward and create the entire process flow.
Last, we need to click on the 'Save' button.
11) Which tools are required for the deployment of Blue Prism applications?
Start or stop the instance of any process in Blue Prism.
Schedule a process as per the requirement.
Create logs for each process at the time of execution and after the execution has been completed. Additionally, they produce logs at every stage of process execution.
Display work queues to monitor the performance of the processes and find the exceptions.
12) What is the role of action? How can we publish action in Blue Prism?
In Blue Prism, Actions are responsible for implementing the logic of business objects. Every action includes data items that store information required for existing action along with various stages. Typically, actions start from the 'Start' stage and finish at the 'End' stage. In between 'Start' and 'end' stages, other necessary stages are inserted to help us carry out the specific result with the automation process.
When we want to publish an Action, we need first to call it using any existing process or a program. Then, we are required to right-click on the particular action and select the 'Publish' option listed in the menu box. Once the action is published, there will be an icon next to the action's name. This indicates that the action has published successfully.
13) What is meant by Process Template in the context of Blue Prism?
The process template can be defined as one of the core components of the Blue Prism tool. A process template is mainly designed to allow developers to make automation processes quickly. The process templates include basic activities and structure; hence, developers don't need to create them every time. Additionally, they help developers understand how the work queues are implemented in the created processes in Blue Prism. These templates reduce the overall working steps and ensure that the creation of processes is quick and easy to configure.
14) Draw a neat diagram of Blue Prism architecture.
15) What are the main phases of Blue Prism Life-cycle?
Phase 1: In the initial phase, the developers work closely with testers to ensure that the automation solution satisfies the requirements of PDD (Process Definition Document).
Phase 2: Process diagrams are created in Process Studio according to the requirements given in PDD. Also, the tests are implemented and executed in a live data testing session to analyze the performance.
The final automation solution is tested. The final solution is installed and executed within a test environment.
The overall performance of the process is managed, and any remaining feature is added.
The process is tested in a real-time environment in the Blue Prism Control Room.
The complete test report and stats are created and matched with the acceptance criteria of PDD. Once the process is executed according to the requirements, it is deployed in the production.
16) How will you differentiate Blue Prism from Automation Anywhere?
Learning Little knowledge of programming is required to manage business objects. Easy to use and learn for beginners.
Reusability Blue Prism libraries can be used again and again with other processes. Re-usable blocks can be created with the help of smart adapters.
Cognitive Capability Low. Moderately capable.
Programming Languages Designed using C#. Designed using Microsoft visual basic.
Suitable for Back-office automation. Both back-office and front-office automation.
17) What is the function of Professional services in Blue Prism?
The professional services in Blue Prism provide a wide variety of services. It depends on the skills and knowledge we already have and the things or services we want to learn next. With the Blue Prism professional services, we can learn all the basic concepts of the tool through a complete training course.
The main aim of the Blue Prism Professional Services is to help us learn and understand the tool quickly so that we can automate tasks with ease. Additionally, Blue Prism gives assurance to provide increased benefits for the businesses within the pre-defined service levels.
18) Blue Prism and UiPath are both popular RPA tools. How will you differentiate them?
Cost Comparatively higher cost for the tool as well as for acquiring software robots. Lower cost and also comes with a community edition that is free to use. A community edition is suitable for individuals.
Usage Suitable for large scale deployments where a high number of software robots are required. Suitable for individuals and made for complex automation.
Programming Language Designed using C#. However, coding skill is not needed for creating automation processes. Designed using Microsoft visual basic. Processes can be created with coding; however, coding is not compulsory.
Accessibility Uses client-based servers that makes it accessible only through the application Uses web-based servers that makes it accessible through an application as well as browsers.
19) What are the types of security options available in the Blue Prism tool?
There are mainly three different types of security controls available in RPA Blue Prism, such as User, Credentials, and Options.
User Assigning new user information.
Credentials Storing secret information.
Options Assigning rules for setting passwords.
Besides, Blue Prism also offers role-based access management for increased security. It is used to assign a specific role to any particular user. The user cannot perform actions other than assigned ones. Apart from this, the administrator also gets control over user activities. For example, an admin can check when a user has logged in into the Blue Prism, started or deleted process, and many other activities.
20) Why do we say that RPA Blue Prism offers a secure and auditable automation platform?
Blue Prism offers security and audibility at different levels; therefore, it is known as the secure and auditable automation platform. Blue Prism provides a separate run-time environment, which means that the run-time environment is segregated from a process-editing environment. Additionally, several permissions can be assigned to specific users. With these permissions, tasks like designing, creating, editing, and executing processes can be limited only to the assigned and authorized users.
When it comes to auditing, Blue Prism provides a complete audit trail for the processes. It includes a full comparison report of effects that occurred before and after making any change to the processes. Also, it contains a detailed log reports generated at run-time for each process. The log report consists of a time-stamped history of every change provided to automated processes.
21) Define these terms: IPA, PDD, FRQ, SDD, OID, PDI, and ODI.
IPA: It is a short form of 'Initial Process Analysis'. It is a high-level analysis of the entire process solution. It contains pre-requisites, efforts, and proposed solutions for the development along with the production environment requirements.
PDD: It is a short form of 'Process Definition Document'. The document contains the manual processes that are to be automated. It consists of a process diagram and detailed descriptions of all the stages based on the organization's requirements.
FRQ: It is a short form of 'Functional Requirements Questionnaire'. It includes the checklist of the necessary information as well as some other areas that need consideration.
SDD: It is a short form of 'Solution Design Document'. PDD and FRQ act as input for SDD. The primary aim of SDD is to automate the processes described in PDD. It ensures that Blue Prism provides an end-to-end solution.
OID: It is a short form of 'Operational Impact Document'. Once the automation solution is provided to the client, there will be several responsibilities to operate appropriately. The OID contains the information required to inform the client operation team of their responsibilities.
PDI: It is a short form of 'Process Design Instruction'. It is generally defined as the blueprint to design/develop automation processes. It also contains such type of low-level information that is not added in SSD. This approach is mainly used to achieve increased clarity throughout the project.
ODI: It is a short form of 'Object Design Instruction'. It is a blueprint that helps in the development of business objects.
22) Explain work queues in the context of RPA Blue Prism. How can we configure priorities for work queues?
Work Queues in Blue Prism are generally implemented to break large volumes of work into multiple small volumes. Additionally, it is said to be the most effective way for the deployments of bots. It is because multiple bots are implemented to decrease the overall time consumption during the separation of large volumes of work to small volumes.
We are first required to add an item in the corresponding queue with the help of the existing 'Add to Queue' action.
Then, we are required to work with the existing queue item. It will set the start-priority of the created process.
Once the priority of the item is added, we can repeat the same with more items. It should be noted that the item's priority is unchangeable once added to the queue.
23) Why do we use Tags in Blue Prism?
In context to Blue Prism, tags are defined as the keywords of terms assigned to the work queue items. They are generally used when we want to retrieve the next item from the particular work queue. There is also an option to filter these items using the Tag Filter input parameter under 'Get Next item' action. Using this, we can easily retrieve the required item from the work queue in the presence or absence of any specific tag.
24) Define Application Modeller.
Application Modeller is defined as the embedded capability inside the Object Studio. The application modeller's primary function is to provide an environment to create application models within the Object Studio. It contains several basic configurations that help in interacting and communicating with the existing applications and UI elements. These elements are identified by Blue Prism software robots based on pre-defined attributes. The elements are further configured and updated to make them unique for every single element. The software bots can further interact with these elements and perform specified operations over them.
25) Why do we use Multiple-Part processes in Blue Prism?
Multiple-Part processes are mainly used where there is a requirement to work in multiple parts at different items. These processes are based on parent-child relationships, which means that the individual work queues items will only link to a single request. Besides, the multiple-part processes can also be used in cases where work is derived from an external system instead of the Blue Prism work queue.
These processes can also be implemented where the requests are included throughout the day and must be completed within the service-level period based on the agreement.
26) What is the role of the Attach option in Blue Prism?
The Attach option in Blue Prism is primarily responsible for identifying an application that is being used. We are required to enter the appropriate value that will be used to identify the application, such as the name of a particular process or window title.
27) What is defined by dynamic match type?
The Dynamic Match Type is generally defined as the parameter that must be entered within the stages of any process. This is a mandatory input parameter and should be entered using elements. The primary purpose of a dynamic match type is to allow users to specify the value manually for an attribute from the process diagram instead of using default one from Application Modeller.
28) Why do we use the 'Preserve' checkbox option in Blue Prism?
The Preserve checkbox option is mainly used to disable Exception Type and Exception Details fields within the Blue Prism tool. Besides, when the Preserve checkbox option is selected, the exception is released without the requirement of any other details. That means the existing exception is thrown again. That is why we use the Preserve checkbox option in the Recovery Mode. The recovery mode resides in between the Resume stage and a Recover stage.
In case if we use the checkbox outside the recovery mode, it will provide an exception.
29) Do we need any particular kind of hardware requirements for using Blue Prism?
Typically, Blue Prism does not need any particular kind of hardware requirements. It can run with the existing IT infrastructure. It is designed in such a way that it implies the IT standards, security, operational supportability, and integrity, etc. The tool is almost ready to be deployed condition.
Blue Prism can be efficiently run with the existing systems (local desktops) to perform front-office tasks. Additionally, multiple systems simultaneously can be used for front-office tasks.
30) How can we stop a process that is running in the Control Room?
Both the above methods help stop any running process immediately. Blue Prism mark such processes as an Exception at Clean-Up to identify that the process could not get completed.
Request Stop: It is used to stop a running process at a configured safe stop.
Immediate Stop: It is used to stop a running process immediately. It acts as the first method, i.e., just like clicking on the Stop section.
31) What do you understand by the Active Accessibility Interface?
The Active Accessibility Interface is a special type of interface within the Blue Prism tool that is compatible with more interface elements than the default interface. However, it is much slower than the default Win32 interface. It is recommended to use the active accessibility interface only when elements are not compatible with the default interface. Additionally, it can be used when elements are not reliable enough to target using the spy mode present in the Win32 interface. The active accessibility interface is mostly used during the automation of Windows-native applications.
We can slightly improve the overall performance of the active accessibility interface with the help of Match Index and Match Reverse. The interface may provide multiple matches, even where there is a single element. The reason for this is the existence of some hidden elements which are not generally displayed.
32) Why do we use the Wait stage in Blue Prism?
The Wait stage is used to absorb the system latency and make sure that the process is going through the correct path. Typically, the wait in the starting of any action confirms the correctness of path and results in increased process resilience. The default timeout in the Wait stage is 5 seconds. The process will wait before performing an action until the timeout that the user has specified for the Wait stage upon running the object has passed.
Always throw an exception on timeout: One should not try to retrieve the process through the Wait stage. Besides, one should try an exception and let the process control and handle it. It may restart the system, or retry after an alert, or retry after some time.
Always with for the screen to change: One should use the wait stages after navigating to any stage that might be a cause to update screen. It ensures improved speed without absorbing any latency.
33) What is meant by Throttle?
A throttle is such a type of wait stage that has no specific wait condition. It helps create pause throughout the stages. Here, a data item is generally used to control the length of the timeout.
34) Explain Control Room.
The Control Room acts like a command center that is mainly used to analyze, control, schedule, and execute automation processes to the digital workforce.
In simple words, all the components and resources are monitored and controlled with the help of the Control Room. It is a centralized administration system within the Blue Prism that provides detailed statistics of process workflow. It also enables users to monitor the startup and the working of a process via manual approach. Additionally, it helps users to measure the overall performance of processes to ensure proper working.
35) What is the main difference between Match Index and Match Reverse options in Blue Prism?
Match Index option is used when we want to search for an element in top-to-bottom order. Besides, the Match Reverse option is used when we want to search for an element in the bottom-to-top order. Once the element is found, the search will be stopped instantly, and all the further duplicates will be ignored.
These two options are beneficial in cases where we require to find any specific element. Additionally, these attributes reduce the overall searching time. However, these options should be used only when we don't want to find duplicate elements or when duplicate elements are unlikely to be present.
36) What are the two methods used for the Blue Prism process getting work from a Workflow System?
Method 1: We can load the entire work from the workflow system into a work queue instantly. By doing this, software robots will retrieve the items to work from the work queue. Blue Prism robots will not further use the Workflow system to get the items to work.
Method 2: We can assign Blue Prism robots to get the cases from the workflow system. By doing this, an item will be added to the work queue for every new case. Once the item is added, it will be locked instantly for work.
37) Explain the connector and its types in the context of Blue Prism.
Java Connector: It is used to work with Java applets, Swing, Oracle, and other JVM based technologies.
Windows Connector: It is used to work with windows based applications interface technologies, such as .NET framework, Visual Basic, PowerBuilder, MFC (Microsoft Foundation Class), and others.
Citrix Connector: It is used to work with applications that use Microsoft Remote Desktop and Citrix technologies.
Mainframe Connector: It is used to work with the mainframe applications by using terminal emulators from different vendors.
HTML Connector: The HTML connector is used to work with HTML, JavaScript, ActiveX controls, and other components of the browser interface.
38) What is meant by the Recover stage in Blue Prism?
The Recover stage is helpful during exception-caching. It allows users to create different types of recovery sequences. Once the exception is caught, the Business object or the process is called to be in the recovery mode and indicating the live state of exception.
39) Define System Unavailable Exception and Mark Exception.
The System Unavailable Exceptions are the exceptions that are usually found when a user is unable to launch the application. This can happen in scenarios when the application is not responding or when the application crashes. It could be a reason that these unexpected crashes were not considered in the design and development phase.
Coming to the Mark Exception, it is used to control exception features. It contains two flag inputs, such as Keep Locked and Retry. When any new item is created, the unique ID of this created item is returned to the output parameter using Mark Exception. The Keep Locked flag is generally set to 'True' when there is a requirement to keep the new item under control.
40) What are the modes for object spying in Blue Prism?

There are many different types of support for you within the RAF community. If you are not sure where to go or who to speak to, you can always contact the team at the Families Federation and we can signpost you to the best experts. Alternatively, have a quick scan of our useful links’ page in this section.
One place to start is the on-base Community Support team as part of the Unit’s welfare organisation. They can offer confidential and expert advice on a whole range of subjects.You may wish to confide in your Unit’s padre, the medical officer, the SSAFA Social Work Practitioner, the HIVE Information Officer or a member of the Personnel Management Squadron (PMS) staff. Flight and Squadron Commanders also have a line management responsibility for their Servicemen and women and a duty of care to support them and their families, particularly when the uniformed family member is away from home.
So, whilst most serving personnel and their families have a natural and understandable reluctance to approach anyone in the chain of command for help, we do encourage you to at least consider whether they may be best placed to offer the support you need, particularly if your problem has the potential to impact on your serving family member’s ability to do his or her primary duty.

I haven't played now in several years and I feel it is time to sell my gear.
There will be more for sale over the coming days but for now this is the first thing i can put my hand on without digging it out.
I am really not sure on the value anymore so please don't be put off by the price and get in touch if you are interested. Any help on a guide price would be much appreciated!
A chap on Facebook was after one of these. Bear with me and I'll find the post.
Am i hitting the right price point for this marker?
A mint 10/10 condition with Oled board & all accessories, would be from £200 to £250 maximum in my opinion.
I got £220 for mine about 6months ago collected and the last I seen on Fb sold for £235 all in.

<issue_start><issue_comment>Title: OutsideRuntimeClient should handle failures better
username_0: We are having issues with the message pump task going away and being unable to detect this from ClusterClient. I suggest making OutsideRuntimeClient either keep track of the message pump task and restart it if needed, wrapping it in a while (listenForMessages), or allow us to detect this condition via IClusterClient so that we can re-create the client.
If the message pump task dies for some reason, ProxiedMessageCenter.PendingInboundMessages will grow until the whole system exhausts its memory and things start going really wrong(tm).
Things i have considered include looking for ErrorCode.Runtime_Error_100326 in our log consumer and then recreate the ClusterClient. This would however not work for the case when the code breaks out:
if (message == null) // if wait was cancelled
break;
...which would happen not only if cancelled, as one could think from the comment, but pretty much any failure reading messages.
I did a branch off of 1.5.1 and tried adding a while (listenForMessages) which seems to work reasonably well, but does kinda feel somewhat 'hacky':
private async Task StartInternal()
{
...
// Keeping this thread handling it very simple for now. Just queue task on thread pool.
Task.Run(
() =>
{
while (listenForMessages)
{
try
{
RunClientMessagePump(ct);
}
catch (Exception exc)
{
logger.Error(ErrorCode.Runtime_Error_100326, "RunClientMessagePump has thrown exception",
exc);
}
}
},
ct).Ignore();
Either way, i think this needs looking into, as it seems to happen in our system quite a lot; especially under heavy load. I would suggest a more sane fix, but i haven't had time to look into the interaction between all the components involved.
<issue_comment>username_1: Very interesting, @username_0. Do you happen to know of a way to reproduce the case you mentioned? I believe your resiliency suggestion is a good one anyway.
<issue_comment>username_0: @username_1 Sorry, I don't have a reliable "real" repro. Usually if we run our load tests overnight we have it happen at least once. The test we do runs at more or less constant 100% CPU on a 5 node SF cluster.
You can simulate the failure by stepping out of the message pump task using the debugger.
<issue_comment>username_1: How are you verifying that the message processing loop is exiting?
<issue_comment>username_0: I added very simple and obvious temporary logging in the code paths where it could exit.<issue_closed> | 16072893 | 1,077 |
Recognizing the importance of accurate HER2/neu status assessment, pathologists from across Canada gathered together to share local testing experiences and insights. The meeting was chaired by Drs. Wedad Hanna and Frances P. O’Malley who facilitated the collaboration to create a Canadian consensus statement for HER2 testing procedures.
The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and the College of American Pathologists (CAP) convened an Expert Panel to develop a guideline to improve the accuracy of HER2 testing in invasive breast cancer. These ASCO/CAP Guidelines were reviewed by the panel of Canadian pathologists. The data from this review and the experience of the panel members were incorporated to create the current update of the Canadian HER2 testing guidelines and algorithm presented below. | 08e4a0af644b6685d8b719428a2cf89a | 156 |
It depends which area of fitness. Aerobic fitness, muscular endurance? Power? Agility?
For aerobic fitness I judge it based on how long it takes me to run 1 mile.
I also use HR: resting HR for most athletes is 60 bpm.
Also HR recovery, measured 1 min after the activity. The lower compared to during exercise the better.
There are also assessments that can be done to check other aspects of fitness: 40 yd dash, T drill, vertical jump (test for power).
Ultimately it depends what you’re testing for I think. | 3e00002aa68e4ae884012fe5d7614f4f | 127 |

The Entomology Collection of the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History contains approximately 800,000 insects and arachnids. It contains specimens from around the world, and it is especially rich in material from the Rocky Mountain Region. The strengths of our collection are the Hymenoptera (bees), Lepidoptera (butterflies), Coleoptera, Orthoptera, Hemiptera (leafhoppers), and spiders. Regional biological collections such as ours are especially important to the ecological and systematic communities because of their historical value, the concentration of collecting in a particular area, and their unusually excellent label data.
The Entomology Collection is located on the CU Boulder campus, on the third floor of the Bruce Curtis Building (MCOL). We welcome visitors who would like to use the collection. Please contact us at (303) 492-6270 should you wish to visit (directions). We are generally available by appointment from 10am-4pm Monday-Friday. | aec719a3974c147549c5447a6ab7d70d | 201 |
Our diving is done out in the open ocean. 15 to 40 miles
offshore, we dive shipwrecks: mostly from World War II.
Due to the potential for currents and the fact that we are out in the open
ocean, we ask that our divers make contact with the lines during the entire
descent and ascent. There
are a few clear reasons for this:
1)
We want you to see where the anchor is located on the wreck so you can find it
again for the ascent.
2) Using a line makes it easy to control your descent and
ascent. Free ascents are not recommended.
3) Should there be any current, you can pull yourself along the
lines rather than fighting the current and swimming against it.
4) The Hang line leads to the Anchor Line - the Anchor Line
leads to the wreck. You are guaranteed to dive the wreck by descending the
Anchor line. Underneath the boat there is usually only sand. And maybe a
starfish. Perhaps a rock. But not usually the wreck.
5) If you need to make minor adjustments to your equipment on
the descent or ascent, it is nice to have an anchor line to hold on to.
6) No dive equipment is worth more than your safety. If you drop
it at the end of a dive, it's not worth descending after it. The crew will do
all they can to find it for you. Free descents to chase equipment are not
recommended.
7) We want our divers back on the boat. The ocean is too big to
swim all alone. Surfacing away from the boat makes it look very small. Divers
heads out in the open ocean look even smaller. Especially with dark equipment
on. Those red skinny safety sausages are (contrary to popular belief) difficult
to see from any distance. By using the anchor line for descents and ascents, you
get back on the boat every time.
8) Should someone surface away from the boat and be unable to
swim back, we cannot leave the dive site until everyone else is back on board.
The ocean is a big, lonely place when you are floating out there in it.
9) No matter where we are diving, it's TOO FAR to swim back to
shore.
10) Any additional ideas or suggestions? Let us know!
