I am not Sigmund Freud and I am not going to interpret Dreams! Rather I can tell you why the vision comes to your brain while you are sleeping, be it, a pleasant or a horrifying one. Dreaming is such thing we all have, similar to binge-watching Netflix, but nobody knows the reason. You will not dream every time you sleep but when the vision tangles your brain cells, it leaves incomplete scenarios that make no logic! We often wake up with a vague recollection of a dream but never are able to piece together the broken memories.
Psychologists agreed with the fact that dreams have no direct connections with the physical functionality of our body. Some researchers not only have studied the reasons of dreaming but have revealed the meaning as well. The dip into the outcomes of dreams on our bodies and brains and the massive amount of researches and depth of dreaming has fetched 'Dream' under the limelight of the best lifehack blog. I'm trying to jot down the reasons why you, me – WE DREAM.
Dreaming is the storing process of the recent occurrences happened in our life and multiple researches have proven it. When we dream, it's actually the process in our brain of moving the incidents to the long-term memory storage. Neuroscientists have found that during the day, memories are stored by our brain function in the hippocampus and during the time we sleep, memories are transferred from hippocampus to cerebral cortex. Sleep permits to widen the memories to different parts of our brain so as to they can be recorded and sometimes reconditioned.
Believe it or not, the terrifying nightmares which shiver you while sleeping actually make you stronger! The terrifying visions don't just appear to frighten you but it actually prepares you to deal with the worst circumstances in your reality! While you have already faced the terrors in your dream, it makes you tough enough to deal in the real life as well. A research has been done on the children of threatening and non-threatening households and they came up with an astounding fact that in a more physically threatening environment children have a greater tendency to have the nightmares that train them to face the real challenge.
We can't pursue with dreams in any of the best lifehack blog without mentioning the emperor of the interpretation of dreams – Sigmund Freud! Despite the disapproval of many theories of Sigmund Freud, some still are the topics of discussion. Sigmund Freud specialised in the meaning of dreams where he derived the unconscious thoughts and desires turning into the dreams at the later stage. He explained that our aggressive sexual instincts and desires are suppressed during day time by the conscious mind and revealed by the unconscious mind when we sleep in form of dreams. Freud even told that our dreams express unacceptable feelings like sexual affection to our own parents!
Chronic sleep glitches distress between 50 to 80 percent of patients who have diagnosable psychiatric disorders, while only around 10% of the overall US populace suffers from a sleep disorder. Scholars and Scientists at Harvard University piloted a study in 2009 that found a link between dreaming and usual psychiatric disorders, like bipolar disorder. They found that for both adults and children, sleep hitches may increase the risk of evolving a psychiatric disorder.
There are many reasons why we see what we see at the time of sleeping. Sometimes it makes us happy and sometimes we get terrified of the visions that come to our psychological system. Now, when you'll wake up from sleep, trying to recollect the visions from last night, certainly you'll be aware of the reasons behind it.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<jpeglib.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{

struct jpeg_decompress_struct cinfo;

 struct jpeg_error_mgr jerr;

int height,width,pixel_size,colorspace,i,j,k,res;

FILE *infile = fopen("e:/Images/im.jpg", "rb");
cinfo.err = jpeg_std_error(&jerr);

jpeg_create_decompress(&cinfo);
jpeg_stdio_src(&cinfo, infile);
jpeg_read_header(&cinfo, TRUE);
jpeg_start_decompress(&cinfo);
width = cinfo.output_width;
height = cinfo.output_height;

printf("\nWidth = %d",width);
printf("\nHeight = %d",height);
}

Then compiled as
gcc demo.c -ljpeg

But it gives error

How hard can it be for the government to stop its Brexit dithering for a moment and remove the planning blight surrounding EU research funding ('We haven't got a plan B': Academics race to safeguard research amid Brexit fears, 16 October)? Archaeology may deal in timescales of many thousands of years but the crisis looming in two years' time threatens to sweep away our status as a world leader in deep history.
The value of our EU funding is not just monetary. In its explicit support for blue-skies research, it is a rare funding resource. It encourages archaeologists to explore the potential of cutting-edge technologies applied to new evidence from the field and museum archives, and all driven by original questions about who we are and where we came from.
The results of this deep human history point to the binding power of connections across continents. Ten thousand years ago a "hard border" could have existed on the isthmus between Dover and Calais. But people moved backwards and forwards into the British peninsula. They have continued to do so whatever the sea level. Only now, it seems, are we to cut ourselves off from our past.
• Indeed the outlook for UK-based research is worrying in the light of Brexit. And, yes, British Academy work has shown that the humanities and social sciences are particularly vulnerable as the European Research Council targets curiosity-driven research by talented individuals and teams. Alas, we cannot take for granted close association with Horizon Europe, the next EU programme to be developed.
Much remains to be decided as to whether a form of association will emerge that would enable UK-based researchers to lead research teams and not merely be research assistants. Let us be under no illusion – we must develop a persuasive vision for our contribution to the process and not just go cap-in-hand to Brussels.
• Nicola Sturgeon is right to say the UK needs more time (Report, 16 October). However, this should not be once we've left the EU (extension of the transition period) but rather when we're still in it.
Five and a half months is not long enough to convince parliament to debate the idea of a people's vote and approve it taking place; for a people's vote to be organised (we hear it took David Cameron's team six months to set up the EU referendum); for the result of the people's vote to be debated in parliament; for the court of justice of the European Union to decide if article 50 can be revoked; for parliament to vote to remain, repeal Brexit laws and allow the government to revoke article 50; and for the government to serve the EU with a UK notice of revocation.
So if there's one thing Britain should be asking Brussels for right now, it's an extension of the 29 March article 50 deadline: if we leave any extensions until the UK has left the EU, Britain can kiss any hopes of remain goodbye.
• The key to the deadlock on Brexit is to change the metaphors from rounders to cricket. Instead of the backstop for Northern Ireland (The backstop, 16 October) it should be the longstop, only needed when the wicketkeeper (comprehensive trade deal) fails, and therefore not used in first-class cricket.

11 of the Best Apps Like Showbox | Amazing Alternatives to Use on Your Android or iOS Device
In this article, I will be showing you good apps for watching movies and TV series online like Showbox. No doubt, Showbox was one of the best apps for free movie download streaming and more however it stopped working. And after a long time, it is not yet back and we do not know if it will ever come back.
I know so many people like me missed this application a lot as it has formed a good memory in our minds. So if you are like me and you miss Showbox and you are looking for other apps just like it then you are on the right article.
Why was Showbox so Popular During its Time?
Every great platform always has certain things they are doing right that makes them popular and blows them up all over the world. Showbox was no different in fact they had so many things right which other movie streaming apps did not get right. Here are some of the reasons why the Showbox app was so popular in the first place:
Firstly because the Showbox application was very to use.
The application was available for the three major platforms, which are Android, iOS and PC.
It had a search box that helped users easily find what they are looking for.
It has a very much needed download feature that lets you download movies if you do not want to stream them.
It had a light easy-to-use interface that users understand easily.
Finally, all its contents were in HD quality.
If you used Showbox in the past you will know that all these features are mentioned above are correct. So without any doubt, I think these are the features that made Showbox as popular as it was back in the day.
11 of the Best Showbox Alternatives to Use in 2021
It is natural to want to replace something that you lost or in this case, something that is no longer working. Everyone at a certain point in time must have had something that was working that stopped working and then is replaced by another fully-working one.
Whether it is the same as the one you replaced does not matter as long as it gives you the same functionality. That is why I am going to be giving you 11 new apps to replace Showbox if you miss them. These apps can also be called the best Showbox alternatives. So without further waste of time let us take a look at these apps.
1 – Stremio
This platform gives you access to a vast collection of movies, TV shows documentaries and even YouTube channels. The most important thing is that unlike show box this platform actually has the legal right to its contents.
Another way bits better than Showbox is because it's streams content from most of the major streaming platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime and others. The application is available for both Android and iOS uses to download. On the other hand, this application is also readily available for Linux and Windows devices and it's totally free to use.
2 – Pluto TV
Pluto.tv is also appearing on this list because it is also free to use as Showbox. It has thousands of users that binge-watch its content on a daily basis. Pluto TV also has over 200 TV channels that you can watch to keep you entertained. Auto has access to some of the classic movies just like James Bond and more.
Pluto TV is totally free like as I have mentioned above but it displays ads on a regular basis.
3 – Peacock TV
Peacock TV is probably one of the best you will find on this list they have one of the best original movies collection. Some of their original TV shows and movies are fans favourites today and it also offers free movies just like Showbox.
While most of its contents are free not all can be viewed for free however with a little token of $4.99 a month you have access to its entire contents including its originals. If you ask me the price is totally worth the content will be getting on this platform.
4 – Popcorn time
This app popcorn time is simply one of the closest alternatives you will get to Showbox. And just like Showbox, you are guaranteed to get whatever movie you are looking for. This app finds you torrent versions of whatever you are searching for and brings them out.
On the bright side, this app is totally free to use and is available on the major platforms we have. You can download this application from the website for mobile and PC users.
5 – Crackle
Crackle is one of the best apps you will ever find this is because it is owned by Sony and is a mega app for streaming and saving movies. We all know Sony is one of the biggest movie producers and having this app is having access to make the majority of Sony movies.
Though this app has limited content available if the catalogue is updated monthly for you to enjoy. It also lets you save movies and support subtitles.
6 – Tubi TV
I will tell you right now that Tubi TV is great for all free movie streaming individuals out there. This platform gives you access to movies, TV shows documentaries and more. One of the important things is that his movies are in full HD format.
Tubi is also an illegal content streaming platform as it has been acquired by Fox. The only downside I can see to this platform is that he does not have many new movies.
7 – Kodi
Kodi is more on the newer side of streaming services. Though this platform is new it gives you access to live shows and events, movies. TV series and more.
The main issue with Kodi is that its interface is not as users friendly as it is supposed to be. Although once you have managed to set it up and are familiar with the interface you will find it very interesting. One other thing that this platform has that others don't is its access to gaming content.
8 – Vudu
Vudu gives you access to watch tens of thousands of content for free but with ads. So if you are not much into that this could be a turn off for you. Besides that, it's a great alternative for people in the US and also offers its contents in HD quality.
This app is owned by Walmart and you can log in using your account. There are hundreds of major TV shows that you can watch and keep you entertained on this application.
9 – Playbox HD
Playbox HD as the name suggests only gives you movies and shows with HD quality unlike most movie streaming apps out there. This app is home the hundreds of TV shows, movies and more just for your viewing pleasure.
This application is available to download for both Android and iOS And the most important thing is that it feature an easy to use interface.
10 – CinemaBox
Not only does this application gives you access to the latest movies and TV series it also has a vast catalogue of musical content for your listening pleasure. Cinemabox is one of the top Android and iOS movie streaming apps out there with quality service.
One thing that this application does that other apps do not is that it can adjust the quality of streaming to match the speed of your internet. So if you have very good speeding internet then expect very good qualities of the stream.
11 – Roku Channel
Roku is one of the best alternatives that is as close to Showbox as you will ever get. There are lots of free content and shining on this platform that you can use for free.

Grew up in London, England. Trader in oil and petrochemical products, first for Shell Oil Company, then for smaller companies. Retired early to travel. Found Kathmandu, Nepal, extremely polluted. Distance degree in environmental studies and pollution control from The Open University in London. Met wife in Boston, Massachusetts. Moved to Ambler, Pennsylvania, to be near wife's parents.
Did not know about asbestos at first. Found Ambler run down, unattractive. Persuaded to join BoRit community advisory group (CAG). Only non governmental member with environmental specialty; now CAG co-chair and chair of Removal, Remediation, and Monitoring workgroup. First aware of asbestos when high-rise project began. Lack of treatment of BoRit site at same time as Ambler's asbestos piles. Describes challenges in remediation and EPA policy; air monitoring; water standards for asbestos; effects of asbestos on body.
Observations of national and local infrastructure: power lines, bridges, roads, liquor sales, power outages, derelict buildings, residents' reticence to confront asbestos problems. CAG and differences among its members; balancing private and public interests. Filling in reservoir mooted; arguments about removing asbestos. Says asbestos not a problem if contained. People living near sites not attendees at CAG meetings; some come and then want information. Explanation of different opinions about remediation. Deprived area residents concerns over possible gentrification. Contained asbestos piles less dangerous than toll booths. Prefers open green space at BoRit. Older people played on piles as children.
Good communication between Removal, Remediation, and Monitoring workgroup and EPA; weekly reports. Air testing only when activity going on; asbestos inert; data shared with CAG. Other chemicals found in nearby ground water, but Ambler declines to expand its existing testing protocols. Opinion of Ambler: positive is that citizens fight for what is right; negative that private interests can conflict with common good. Lesson for other communities: see the "big picture" and compromise. Challenges for Ambler: adjusting to being service town instead of manufacturing; destroying derelict buildings; taking out asbestos; having a fast train to Philadelphia. Asbestos at this point as much a problem of blight as hazard. "Public health" means health of community, not just individual bodies. Success of EPA in Ambler: some agencies better than others; some relationships with citizens difficult because of statuary/legal limits and requirements.


"Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me.
6 "Whole burnt offerings and sin-offerings you took no delight in.
8 When he says above, "Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sin-offerings you did not desire nor did you take delight in them" 7 (which are offered according to the law), 9 then he says, "Here I am: I have come to do your will." 8 He does away with 9 the first to establish the second. 10 By his will 10 we have been made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 And every priest stands day after day 11 serving and offering the same sacrifices again and again – sacrifices that can never take away sins. 12 But when this priest 12 had offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, he sat down at the right hand 13 of God, 13 where he is now waiting 14 until his enemies are made a footstool for his feet. 15 14 For by one offering he has perfected for all time those who are made holy. 15 And the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us, for after saying, 16 16 "This is the covenant that I will establish with them after those days, says the Lord. I will put 17 my laws on their hearts and I will inscribe them on their minds," 18 17 then he says, 19 "Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no longer." 20 18 Now where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.
26 For if we deliberately keep on sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins is left for us, 30 27 but only a certain fearful expectation of judgment and a fury 31 of fire that will consume God's enemies. 32 28 Someone who rejected the law of Moses was put to death 33 without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 34 29 How much greater punishment do you think that person deserves who has contempt for 35 the Son of God, and profanes 36 the blood of the covenant that made him holy, 37 and insults the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know the one who said, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay," 38 and again, "The Lord will judge his people." 39 31 It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
11 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for, being convinced of what we do not see. 2 For by it the people of old 1 received God's commendation. 2 3 By faith we understand that the worlds 3 were set in order at God's command, 4 so that the visible has its origin in the invisible. 5 4 By faith Abel offered God a greater sacrifice than Cain, and through his faith 6 he was commended as righteous, because God commended him for his offerings. And through his faith 7 he still speaks, though he is dead. 5 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he did not see death, and he was not to be found because God took him up. For before his removal he had been commended as having pleased God. 6 Now without faith it is impossible to please him, for the one who approaches God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. 7 By faith Noah, when he was warned about things not yet seen, with reverent regard 8 constructed an ark for the deliverance of his family. Through faith he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.
23 By faith, when Moses was born, his parents hid him 29 for three months, because they saw the child was beautiful and they were not afraid of the king's edict. 24 By faith, when he grew up, Moses refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, 25 choosing rather to be ill-treated with the people of God than to enjoy sin's fleeting pleasure. 26 He regarded abuse suffered for Christ 30 to be greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for his eyes were fixed on 31 the reward. 27 By faith he left Egypt without fearing the king's anger, for he persevered as though he could see the one who is invisible. 28 By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, 32 so that the one who destroyed the firstborn would not touch them. 29 By faith they crossed the Red Sea as if on dry ground, but when the Egyptians tried it, they were swallowed up. 30 By faith the walls of Jericho 33 fell after the people marched around them 34 for seven days. 31 By faith Rahab the prostitute escaped the destruction of 35 the disobedient, because she welcomed the spies in peace.

Venice carnival gets modern
Tuesday, January 29, 2008 - 12:47
Venice's world-famous carnival festivities are now in full swing but this year there is a decidedly modern twist to the centuries-old tradition.
The carnival's inaugural 'Flight of the Dove' ceremony originally saw white birds released from the top of St Mark's 90-metre-high bell-tower at noon on the opening day. In recent years the birds were replaced by a white-clad woman representing an angel who was carefully lowered to the ground.
On Sunday the crowds in the square gawped as 44-year-old US rapper Coolio, garbed in a white Moschino outfit, was winched down astride a massive letter 'O' - the final letter in a series spelling out the word ''angelo''.
Coolio was cheered wildly as his feet touched the ground to the first notes of his hit song ''Gangsta's Paradise''.
According to Venice police, some 51,000 people arrived in Venice on Sunday to see the first spectacles, which included a 70-boat costumed parade, complete with jugglers, along the Grand Canal.
In the afternoon, the Coolio joined the thousands gathered in the lagoon city for the Procession of the Marias, a traditional parade, centred on 12 beautiful women clad in 14th-century costumes.
On Tuesday the focus will be on St Mark's Square, where 30 drag queens will strut on stage in elaborate costumes and high heels, all vying to win a glass slipper designed by British stylist Vivienne Westwood.
Meanwhile, a converted warehouse not far away will host 'Carnival in the Dark'.
The title of this year's festival is ''Sensation'' and each of Venice's neighbourhoods, or sestieri, is exploring one of the five senses: San Polo will focus on sight, Cannaregio on taste, Santa Croce on smell, Dorsoduro on touch and Castello on sound.
St Mark's Square will celebrate ''the sixth sense'', organisers say, with a rave-like 'Sensation Show' on the nights of February 1 and 2.
But alongside the innovation, there will still be the usual award ceremony for the best masks on the afternoon of February 3 and there will be the customary series of costume pageants, balls and performances that revive the spirit of the Venetian Republic.
The Venice Carnival is believed to date back to the 12th century although it was brought to a halt in 1797 when Napoleon put an end to the Venetian Republic.
It was revived in the 1970s and is now a big hit with Venetians and tourists alike. City officials say that, at its peak, it attracts around 80,000 visitors a day.
Its most distinctive feature is the famous Venetian white mask - worn with a black cloak and a tricorn hat - which can be bought almost everywhere in the city during the festival.
Masks are linked to the carnival because during the era of the Republic it was one of the few periods of the year that authorities allowed citizens to wear them.
Venetians liked them because they enabled people of different social classes to mingle and get up to mischief together without being recognised.

Arsenal News: Jack Wilshere Available For Swansea Trip
JAMES ANDERSON November 6, 2014 0
LONDON (Sporting Alert) — Midfielder Jack Wilshere is available to face Swansea City in this weekend's English Premier League game at Liberty Stadium, his club Arsenal says.
Wilshere missed Arsenal's 3-0 victory over Burnley in the Premier League at the weekend and the exciting midweek 3-3 Champions League at home to Anderlecht because of illness, but manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that he'll be in the squad to face Swansea.
"Jack is alright," Wenger said on Arsenal official website at www.arsenal.com. "He is back in the squad for Sunday."
At the same time though, Wenger says club captain Mikel Arteta will not be available for the contest after he suffered a hamstring injury against Anderlecht on Tuesday night.
However, Wenger expects the holding midfielder to return after the international break.
"Arteta will be out for Sunday," the Frenchman said. "He has a mild hamstring strain and he will be out for a short period because it's a grade one.
"He should be back after the internationals."
Olivier Giroud, who underwent surgery for a broken tibia earlier this year, has been progressing well and Wenger said the forward is set to return to training next week.
"Giroud joins in training next week."
Arsenal are desperate to get back to action, following the midweek meltdown in Europe, but Wenger insists his team will learn from the disappointing second half late display.
Wilshere was also among the six Arsenal players called up by England national manager Roy Hodgson for a Euro 2016 qualifier against Slovenia on Nov. 15 and friendly international with Scotland on Nov. 18
Calum Chambers, Kieran Gibbs, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Theo Walcott and Danny Welbeck are the other players in the squad.

Abstract: By extending Amdahl's law, software developers can weigh the pros and cons of moving their applications to the cloud. This is the era of Cloud Computing. A gradual change from centralized to distributed execution is taking place, but not without some practical issues related to process migrations (transparent middleware, efficient and secure data transmissions, …). Extending Amdahl's law to Cloud Computing will provide a better understanding of the involved factors related to the offloading process such as the time and energy speedups, together with some hints about the future of this era.

When steam-powered fishing vessels became more common in the late 19th century, it was British vessels and technology that were largely the model when similar methods were introduced around Europe. Attempts were also made in Denmark, Norway and Sweden, with varying degrees of success, to introduce industrial fishing methods according to the British model. This period is often presented as a time when traditional "free" fishermen stood against the fishing companies and big capitalists of the new age. The fishing companies are often presented as something marginal in the fishing industry in Scandinavia. But on closer inspection of the technology shift in Scandinavia, it becomes clear that this picture needs to be nuanced.
When the fishing industry took the step into the industrial age, it was more than just fishing methods and fishing vessels that changed. The vessels became increasingly expensive and individual fishermen could not finance the new fishing vessels. Collaboration, bank loans or government support were required. International trade in used fishing vessels also became extensive.
Unlike sailing vessels, steam-powered fishing vessels obviously needed fuel in the form of coal. The fuel depots and their connection to international trade in coal over the sea or via the railway system helped to concentrate fishing in fewer and larger ports.
The logistics system that brought fuel to the ports was also important for transporting the catches out to consumers. Often only the supply side is highlighted when it comes to fishing. It is less often emphasized that it was not obvious for consumers inland to buy fish simply because it became more readily available and cheaper than before.
Fishing was an industry that was significantly changed by industrialization at the same time as a notion was built up that the current fishing in Scandinavia was created without the influence of companies, financial markets or state aid. In my research, on the history of fishing and especially the period when steam power, company formations and state support for fishing became important factors in Scandinavian fishing, I hope to be able to challenge this notion.
Fishing in the three Scandinavian countries has certain similarities but also significant differences in terms of the introduction of different components of what has emerged earlier in British fishing. In this paper, the three countries will be compared on the basis of both previous research and processing of fisheries statistics. (Show less)

This article presents a long-run view of sustainable development. We have introduced a new database on Genuine Savings (GS), an indicator propagated by the World Bank and widely used in contemporary economic research. GS derives from the theoretical work on wealth accounting, and addresses shortcomings in conventional metrics of economic development by incorporating broader measures of saving and investment, including human capital (education), and natural resource depletion. Its value as an indicator is determined the possibility to predict future standard of living on basis of genuine investments of the past. This article provides consistent historical estimates of GS since 1850 for 25 countries to enhance, complement and contextualise the work of the World Bank. (Show less)

Enticing bonuses: Who doesn't want to make a huge profit, more especially within a short period? These brokers feed on this human psychology and present huge tempting bonuses to make you invest your money.This is just a bait to lure you in. Now don't get it twisted, legitimate and good binary options brokers also give bonuses but scam brokers present theirs telling you that you will always win.This are fake guarantees.
Fake testimonials and reviews: They go ahead and put up jaw-breaking testimonials on their website and other websites of how people have been making huge profits with them and how their method is the best you can ever come across, they also go ahead and write fake reviews recommending them. Be careful because the people you see on those testimonials are non-existent and are fake.
Refusal to withdraw your money: After you have started making profits and you want to withdraw your money, they come up with stories, then they stop picking your calls and replying your mails, making it impossible for you to get back your money.
Check if the their website has an SSL certificate, you can know this by checking if their website has (https://), note the 's'. Since you are going to put your card details in,this would be very important.The https:// shows that your information and card details are encrypted and safe .
Ensure that the broker is regulated: This is very important, check to see if they are regulated by a reputable financial body, note their license number and go ahead to verify it. This is very important because when things start going bad you can always report them to the regulating body and your money could be refunded.
Check to see if their platform is easy to use and their website is properly designed.
NB: The presence of all of these does not mean that a broker or signal provider is not a scam.However when you notice these things then be suspicious.
Start little, then when you make some profit try withdrawing it. This is to enable you test the waters and notice any suspicious activities.
Always read the Terms and Conditions, sometimes some things are hidden there that might not be in your favour.
Always keep a record of your earnings so that if any changes or irregularities happen you would quickly detect them.
Don't keep your money for long with a broker.
Don't accept bonus offers from brokers because their terms are stringent,However if you wish to accept their bonuses make sure you read the terrms and conditions to know if you are satisfied with it.
If you think you have been scammed, file a complaint to the regulatory body.
NOTE: Don't always say when you lose that the broker is a scam , like every other business you could win or lose and finding a good broker does not guarantee your success.
If you have been scammed, you can inform us so that we would put it up and blacklist that broker or signal provider.This will help warn other potential traders to avoid been scammed. This way,we all would help sanitize the binary options industry.


While the corporate income tax code – like the personal income tax code – is complicated by too many credits and deductions that benefit a narrow set of taxpayers at the expense of the many, it is wrong to conclude that corporations in general pay little or no tax. Besides paying corporate income taxes to the U.S. federal government and foreign governments, corporations pay a litany of other taxes, including state and local corporate income taxes, sales, property, and payroll and social security taxes.
The graph below tells the story. It shows 15 years of IRS data, 1994 to 2008, on all corporate income tax returns. It indicates that on average, and in all but three of those years, total taxes paid by corporations exceeded after-tax profits.
After-tax profits peaked in 2006 at $780 billion, and then collapsed with the recession to $607 billion in 2008.
In blue are federal income taxes, which also peaked in 2006 at $315 billion and fell to $208 billion in 2008. That's an effective tax rate of 26 percent of taxable income (pre-tax profits), averaged over 15 years (see this report for more).
In red are foreign taxes paid on the foreign income of U.S. corporations, which continued to climb through the recession, amounting to $98 billion in 2008. (This is an underestimate of foreign taxes paid, based on the foreign tax credit, as discussed in detail here.) Including these taxes on foreign income yields an effective rate of about 33 percent of taxable income, over 15 years.
Finally, in green are all other taxes* paid by corporations that are deducted as business expenses. This number peaked at $357 billion in 2007 and fell to $331 billion in 2008. Adding this to corporate income taxes, both domestic and foreign, brings the total taxes paid by U.S. corporations to $740 billion in the peak year of 2006, and $637 billion in 2008.
That means in 2008, as in most years, taxes paid exceeded after-tax profits, or in other words, government took a greater share than shareholders.
*Details on other taxes: This includes state and local corporate income taxes, property taxes, sales taxes, social security and payroll, unemployment insurance, excise taxes, import and tariff duties, business, license, and privilege taxes, and income and profit taxes paid to foreign countries or U.S. possessions unless claimed as a credit against income tax. This does not include state and local taxes paid in connection with an acquisition or disposition of property. Additionally, not all corporations include sales taxes.

The Westchester County Industrial Development Agency (IDA) has approved three mixed-use projects that are expected to create over 3,000 construction jobs and about 1,800 residential units with a total investment of $1.2 billion, New York YIMBY reports.
WP Mall Realty is investing $585.2 million to build Hamilton Green, a mixed-use development replacing the White Plains Mall. The development will consist of four residential buildings comprising 860 apartments, including approximately 90 affordable units. Additional components include 85,400 sq. ft. of retail and dining area, approximately 27,000 sq. ft. of co-working space, a 956-vehicle parking garage, and a 67,000-sq.-ft. elevated public park.
Lennar Multi Family Co. has proposed building a two-phase mixed-use development in downtown White Plains. Located at 60 South Broadway, the project will replace the former Westchester Pavilion with two high-rise towers containing 814 apartments, including about 50 affordable units. The ground level will contain over 28,000 sq. ft. of retail and dining area, in addition to 932 parking spaces. Construction of the first phase is expected to begin June 2020, with occupancy expected by September 2022. The second phase will kick off in June 2022, with occupancy anticipated by September 2024.
The third and final project will be executed by National Development. The company wants to build a five-story, 132-unit property at 120 Bloomingdale Rd known as Waterstone. The $115-million project will feature on-site social services and a 13,000-sq.-ft. park.

Q: Convert produced integers into a vertical list and reverse list order This code converts decimal to binary, whilst still needing to be reversed to display the correct number.
dec = int(input("Please enter number to convert to decimal: "))
while dec>0:
    quoteint = dec/2
    rem = dec%2
    print (int(rem))
    dec = int(dec/2)

I'm looking to get the numbers produced by the code below to be displayed in a line. Eg
1 0 0 1 0 0

But the code currently only produces the integers in a row like this.
1
0
0
1
0
0

I know I need to turn the integers into a list and then reverse the list to get it to display the correct binary number. Can someone explain how I could possibly do this?

A: I think if you change the line
print (int(rem)) to
print (int(rem), end="") that should do the job.

Wilson A2K vs. A2000: What's the Difference?
SidelineSwap Team May 10, 2018
By Hayden Cox
Wilson's A2K and A2000 glove models are two of the most popular choices in the MLB. You'll see both gloves on the hand of top players in the infield and outfield, as the gloves have models for both. The biggest differences, however, come in construction and price.
A2000 Overview
The A2000 is the older and less expensive of the two models, debuting in 1957. Since then, it has become one of the most recognizable gloves in the game. Currently, it is used by players like Robinson Cano, Carlos Correa and Clayton Kershaw.
A2K Overview
The A2K is used by players like Mookie Betts and Brandon Phillips. This glove tends to be more expensive than the A2000 for numerous reasons. Namely, glove technicians spend three times longer working in the leather on A2K gloves -- which is why the A2K is known for being much softer than the A2000. Also, the softer leather makes the A2K easier to break in.
Leather Selection
Wilson utilizes Pro Stock leather for the A2K's construction. This means they take the leather from the factory and sort it into "good," "better," and "best" piles. Then, they take the "best" pile, and repeat that process two more times. This leaves Wilson with only the softest leather, which goes into constructing the A2K gloves. The A2000 uses Pro Stock leather, so these gloves utilize the "good" and "better" piles from the third selection instead of the "best."
Welting
Welting refers to the leather that is sewn into the fingers and thumbs to make a glove stronger. The A2000 has a rough welting. This makes the glove harder to break in, but gives it a tough, rugged feel. The A2K on the other hand, is built with rolled welting, which allows it to be easier to break in.
Palm and Heel
A double palm construction is used for the A2K. This allows for a more stable pocket and creates a softer catch. This does, however, take away from the feel of the baseball in the glove. The A2000 also has less heel padding than the A2K.
While the A2K is softer and made with better leather, the A2000 comes in at about $100 cheaper. Considering it is still a very high quality glove used by major league players, the A2000 is a viable option for a lower price.
In conclusion...
If you want a softer feel, go with the A2K. If you want a less expensive, more rugged glove, the A2000 is your best bet.

Night of the Museums returns to Buenos Aires for 15th edition
A new edition of La Noche de los Museos takes place this weekend in the capital. Celebrating its 15th anniversary, more than 280 cultural centres will be participating, with activities catering to all ages and interests.

Saturday, November 10th, there will be a new edition of Night at the Museums | GENTILEZA LNM
This Saturday, November 10, beginning at 8pm, more than 280 public and private cultural centres in the capital will throw open their doors to porteños as part of the latest edition of Night of the Museums (Noche de los Museos) festival.
This will be the 15th anniversary of the event, which takes place in Buenos Aires every year. Each incarnation has attracted more and more participants and, as a result, this year more than 900 volunteers, transit agents and security personnel will be assisting visitors, as they explore some of the capital's finest cultural outposts – and all for free too.
Apart from the permanent exhibitions offered at the participating institutions, there will be additional exhibitions centred around themes such as the role of women, taking care of the environment, social integration, gender diversity and innovation.
But with so much on show, what should we look out for?
IOC chief: Buenos Aires could be excellent host of 2032 Olympics
In terms of what the ideal tour, Buenos Aires City Culture Minister Enrique Avogadro suggests "the most interesting is to let you be surprised."
"There are museums in all our neighbourhoods and they are places that are not only open during the Night at the Museums but all year round. Residents can be proud to have these institutions in their neighborhoods," he added.
Avogadro recommends visitors "choose one institution as your starting point and start your tour from there, choosing two or three neighbourhoods to pass through. There will be several buses to take and those who will be participating can take a free bus pass to travel until 3am in the morning."
Messi partners with Cirque du Soleil for new show
The free bus pass can be downloaded from the Night of the Museums website, where you can also find the list of bus lines that are participating.
Additionally, the website includes a search feature to separate the different institutions by its barrio and a complete itinerary for Saturday. On the same page you can also download an app where you will have access to the planned programming.
Culture Ministry hopes to correct gender imbalance with new National Salon rules
There are always museums that stand out and are preferred by visitors,
– Among them is Usina del Arte, which will be inaugurating its "The Art of Bad Behaviour" exhibition, a retrospective of the feminist artist collective Guerrilla Girls. There will also be activities all night long.
– The Museo de Arte Moderno will present its exhibitions "The daring march of the Modern collection," "Nicolas Mastracchio-Pulse" and a video installation by Toia Bonino.
Doña Petrona: Cookery star gets 103rd edition and a personal museum

Former S-League player Gaye Alassane to keep Singapore citizenship despite match-fixing

SINGAPORE: Former S-League player Gaye Alassane will keep his Singapore citizenship despite his involvement in match-fixing.
Mali-born Alassane, who obtained his Singapore citizenship in 2003 through the Family Ties Scheme, was on Dec 7 last year served with a notice of proposed deprivation of citizenship under Article 133(1) of the Constitution.
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), which did not name him, said on Wednesday (Jun 27) that minister K Shanmugam has decided against stripping the citizenship of a 43-year-old naturalised Singapore citizen based on the recommendations of an independent committee.
Channel NewsAsia understands that the individual is Alassane.
After his involvement in match-fixing was discovered, Alassane was detained and subsequently released on police supervision.
"Given the severity of his criminal activities, and the extent of his involvement in the syndicate, the Minister for Home Affairs had assessed that it was not conducive to the public good that he should continue to be a citizen of Singapore. The minister had therefore considered depriving him of his Singapore citizenship," MHA said.
Alassane subsequently referred his case to a Citizenship Committee of Inquiry (CCOI), as provided for under the Constitution.
The CCOI is an independent committee made up of private individuals appointed by the Minister for Home Affairs. Its role is to inquire into the cases referred to it, consider all evidence and representations, and recommend to the minister whether the proposed deprivation should proceed.
After its inquiry, the committee recommended that the minister allow Alassane to keep his citizenship on compassionate grounds. It said it took into consideration Alassane's strong family roots in Singapore, the service he has rendered to the community, as well as his conduct since his release.
"The CCOI observed that he has been earning an honest living since his release from detention and he has not re-engaged in any criminal activities," MHA said.
"He also appeared to be very close to his children, playing an important role in their lives. His ex-wife and children had provided testimonials attesting to his love, attention and support for the children. The mosque where he performs voluntary community service has also attested to his good character."
The CCOI was of the view that he appeared to be a "changed man who would likely not re-offend", the ministry added.
"The minister has given due consideration to the CCOI's assessment and recommendations, and has decided to give this individual another chance and not deprive him of his citizenship for now, subject to his conduct and behaviour," MHA said.
"Should he be found engaging again in any act that is against the public good such as returning to crime, the minister will not hesitate to exercise powers on behalf of the Government to recommence proceedings to deprive him of his Singapore citizenship."

Q: How to print the result from gensim.models.Word2Vec I would like to see the result from the word embeddings model, the vectors results.
When using the following code:
words_embeddings = gensim.models.Word2Vec(all_sentences, size=96, window=5, min_count=1, workers=2, sg=1)
print(words_embeddings)

I get the following output:
Word2Vec(vocab=9700, size=96, alpha=0.025)

I am wondering if the gensim library as a method to display the result form gensim.models.Word2Vec()

A: Firstly, you need train your model. After then, in order to get word vector, you can use:
print(words_embeddings.wv[word])

A: if you are looking for the vocabulary of words your model created:
model_keys = your_model_name.wv.key_to_index
print(sorted([w for w in model_keys]))

otherwise please refer to https://radimrehurek.com/gensim/models/keyedvectors.html#gensim.models.keyedvectors.CompatVocab

Thoughts on launchers in MvC3
Classic Fighting Games Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3
axe2grind September 13, 2010, 3:20am #1
Launchers should not be spamable.
Launchers, especially with a game that has a superhero flavor, are haymakers; they knock you way up in the air or slam you down hard, or into the hands of a teammate. You combo into them from your strongest normal attack. They should hit hard and be the slowest move and have a significant recovery. They should feel like haymakers. Missed launchers should be an easy punish. Haymakers should be a risky move if you're not comboing into it.
Maybe I just haven't had enough time with it and my timing is off, but here is an example of what seems wrong. At PAX I played a capcom rep, he had obviously spent some time with the game and his strategy seemed to be spam the hell out of the launcher. Most times I tried to punish a blocked launcher, he would hit me with a second launcher before my counter attack landed. That just felt so wrong.
It seems like a lot of moves, special moves, and even supers have very little recovery built into them with MvC3, and maybe this is to make offensive play less risky and therefore make the game faster paced, and that's fine but the launcher is one aspect that should not get that treatment IMO.
Jet_Set_Dizzy September 13, 2010, 3:23am #2
Spam is a scrub word. If he's just throwing out launcher constantly just block it.
and don't make threads.
Raz0r September 13, 2010, 3:40am #3
Launchers are not as big of a problem as light attacks are.
Robo-mitsu September 13, 2010, 3:51am #4
This wouldn't even be an interesting post in the general discussion. What makes you think it warranted it's own thread?
NickRocks September 13, 2010, 4:01am #5
what the hell are you even talking about
@ Razor: Why are lights a problem? They are light, they are supposed to be thrown with little risk and fast recovery.
@ Dizzy: If something has such a fast recovery that it's spammable, I'm just supposed to block it?? And since I can't even counter with light attack after blocking I just… hope he gets tired?
@ Robo: That's not even a remotely interesting post. What business do you have posting it?
@ Nick: Fear not your powers of literacy my friend. If you really read it and still don't get it…maybe a more specific question would be helpful…
theres no such thing as "spamming" anything in fighting games. this isnt email
axe2grind:
No you're right, launchers are the end-all. If something can't be punished on block its unbeatable.
It's just easier to say "spamming" than "throwing out over and over again as fast as possible without regard."
axe2grind September 13, 2010, 5:09am #10
It's not a light attack Dizzy, it's the strongest normal move. I know we're both just being assholes to eachother, but do you really think it shouldn't have a longer recovery than the #3 attack? I think it should hit a lot harder than #3 and have a lot more rec frames.
d3v September 13, 2010, 5:17am #11
Push Block.
Jet_Set_Dizzy September 13, 2010, 5:22am #12
Jab chains into launcher so it really doesn't matter.
Jet_Set_Dizzy:
I think hitting with a jab and chaining into a launcher is very different, and should feel very different from just throwing out the launcher.
Otherwise why have different attack buttons at all?
Is it really even that hard to deal with. If he's spamming Exchange in your face, then just push block to push him out of range and/or call an assist to punish.
PKSkyler September 13, 2010, 5:48am #15
block then beat the next launcher with a special move/hyper combo/assist. That should work if hes just throwing it out without blocking…
This is NOT a "I don't know what to do" or a "I don't know how to deal with this move" thread. I didn't have any trouble winning at MvC3.
This is about game design and balance and feel.
Launchers have a big special effect (launching you, passing you, or slamming you into the ground) and I think they should feel like big KABOOM moves with big recovery times, and be dangerous high risk / high reward moves to do without comboing into them.
That is what superheros fighting should feel like imo. Do you all think so too, or does anyone have a reason they feel differently?
specs September 13, 2010, 5:59am #17
Don't be dumb. He's not saying "don't spam launchers in MvC3," he's saying "I don't like how spammy launchers are in MvC3."
Dr. B always reads posts before responding. You should too.
NickRocks September 13, 2010, 6:01am #18
i still dont see it, launchers dont seem any "better" than they have been in past games.
They aren't even special cancel-able now since they are considered a special move themselves.
Deadpoolfanssj4 September 13, 2010, 6:11am #20
Hey guys just played street fighter four and tried to punish a jab with a fierce punch but got counter hit i think jabs should be nerfed
by the way what's "frame advantage"?


I hope by now you've heard our exciting news that the JCC is now the Marlene Meyerson JCC Manahttan, thanks to a generous gift from the Meyerson Family Foundation.
To mark this tremendous occasion, the Meyerson family has commissioned world-renowned artist Jenny Holzer to collaborate with our community on the creation of artworks to be placed throughout our building. Marlene and her husband, Mort, were early supporters and collectors of Holzer's work, and we know that her art will be an incredible addition to our building.
For more than 35 years, Holzer has presented her astringent ideas, arguments, and sorrows in public places and international exhibitions, including 7 World Trade Center, the Venice Biennale, the Guggenheim Museums in New York and Bilbao, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Her medium, whether formulated as a stone engraving, a plaque, or an LED sign, is writing, and the public dimension is integral to the delivery of her work. Starting in the 1970s with the New York City posters, and continuing through her light projections on landscape and architecture, her practice has rivaled ignorance and violence with humor, kindness, and courage. Holzer received the Leone d'Oro at the Venice Biennale in 1990, the World Economic Forum's Crystal Award in 1996, and the Barnard Medal of Distinction in 2011. She holds honorary degrees from Williams College, the Rhode Island School of Design, The New School, and Smith College. She lives and works in New York.
To help make this installation a reality, we need YOU. Is there a poem, prose, a song lyric, a quote, a maxim, a letter, a bit of history, astounding facts or an expression that captures what our JCC community means to you and which you feel articulates the JCC's values? What brings you into this building? What keeps you here? Feel free to send original writing. If you quote a third party, please include the author/source. Send as many submissions as you like. Invite friends and family that know the JCC to join us. Your submission can be as short as a single word or as long as a few sentences.
Ultimately, Holzer will incorporate a selection of submissions into artworks installed throughout the building.
To make your submission, click here. If you have any questions, please feel free to email holzerart@jccmanhattan.org.
We look forward to being with you this spring to unveil the new art pieces in our building. In the meantime, please send us your ideas, and join me in thanking the Meyerson and Hooper families for this incredible gift.
