European Formula 3
Felix Rosenqvist: "I tried to be as quick as possible"
Felix Rosenqvist was on top form at Silverstone on Saturday, winning the opening race of the FIA European Formula 3 Championship season despite three safety car periods and then finishing seventh in race two despite starting right at the back of the field.
Rosenqvist had seen his qualifying times deleted ahead of race two to start thirty-fifth on the grid, but took advantage of early carnage to jump up to eighteenth, before making a number of excellent overtaking manoeuvres, including a couple heading into the fast Maggotts/Becketts complex to reach seventh.
The Prema Powerteam driver knew the importance of taking the race one win after finding out he had lost his two pole positions for races two and three, and made no mistakes on his way to the top step of the podium.
"We had to win and eventually managed to accomplish the feature," said Rosenqvist.
"The track conditions were tricky, it was easy to make mistakes because out of the racing line it was quite slippery, but I kept everything under control running a good race. I also got an easier beginning because we started behind the safety-car.
"The goal for Race 2 was to grab a points finish, and once again I did it. Starting from 35th, I was 18th on lap 1 also thanks to some crashes out front. I tried to be as quick as possible, and it will have to be the same tomorrow!"

CoachHub, a German digital coaching platform, announced on Tuesday that it has secured $200M (approximately €191M) in a Series C round of funding led by Sofina and SoftBank Vision Fund 2.
Molten Ventures, Speedinvest, HV Capital, Signals Venture Capital, and Silicon Valley Bank/SVB Capital also participated in the round.
The announcement comes eight months after the company raised $80M (approx €76.4M), bringing the total fund raised to $330M (approx €315M).
The Berlin-based coaching platform says it will use the funds to accelerate expansion to the US and increase its headcount from 850 employees to more than 1,000 by 2022.
"This investment round comes at a time when the corporate learning industry is undergoing rapid transformation, and the digital coaching segment is expected to grow by up to 100 times, resulting in most major organisations looking to implement digital coaching at scale by the end of the decade," says the company.
CoachHub: What you need to know
Matti Niebelschuetz and Yannis Niebelsch founded CoachHub in 2018 to help organisations create personalised, measurable, and scalable coaching programmes for the entire workforce, regardless of department and seniority level.
"As workplaces continue adapting to the new normal of hybrid and remote models, leaders need individual support and solutions to boost employee performance, engagement, and motivation, while keeping wellbeing at the forefront," says Matti Niebelschuetz, co-founder of CoachHub. "Digital coaching offers these benefits and more, resulting in spiking global demand for CoachHub's services."
Available as both web- and mobile-based applications, the platform matches learners with more than 3,500 certified business coaches that speak more than 60 languages and reside in 90 countries across all time zones.
CoachHub couples human intelligence with Artificial Intelligence (AI) to match employees with their ideal coaches and personalise the content library.
CoachHub claims it enables organisations to reap benefits, including increased employee engagement, higher levels of productivity, improved job performance, and increased retention.
The company's programmes are based on advanced R&D from its Coaching Lab, led by Prof. Jonathan Passmore and Scientific Board.
Currently, the company serves leading global economies and works with large multinational enterprises like Coca-Cola, Danone, Toyota, LVMH, L'Oréal, Credit Suisse, and Twitter.
Sofina is a family-controlled investment company listed on Euronext Brussels, managing its own assets of circa €11B.
"We believe 1:1 coaching will continue to be one of the most effective ways of enhancing the socio-emotional and leadership skills needed to thrive in an increasingly complex and rapidly evolving workplace. As a company that seeks to democratise access to quality coaching, CoachHub's mission resonates with our Responsible Investment strategy. We look forward to partnering with them to further their global ambitions," says Harold Boël, CEO of Sofina.
Yanni Pipilis, Managing Partner at SoftBank Investment Advisers, says, "The Learning and Development sector is witnessing strong secular trends toward the digitisation and personalisation of services. CoachHub's digital platform aims to provide a tailored coaching experience to employees at all levels to help advance their careers. We are pleased to partner with the CoachHub team to support their mission of democratising coaching."

'Mehsud has links with ISI'
New York, April 11
Baitullah Mehsud, the chief of Pakistani Taliban, who claimed credit for the recent deadly attack on a police academy near Lahore, had links with Pakistan's ISI, a media report said.
Afzal Khan writes from Islamabad
Foreign Office spokesman Basit said the insinuation that any foreign intelligence agency was operating in Pakistan was unfounded.
"No foreign intelligence agency is allowed to function in Pakistan, " Basit said while commenting on a Guardian report adding," All intelligence work is done by our own agencies".
British daily the Guardian said the key intelligence that led to security officials fearing a terrorist cell was to launch alarge-scale bomb attack on the British soil came from MI6 operations targeting Pakistan. It said, two to three weeks ago, intelligence from operations carried out in Pakistan by MI6, provided names of suspected members of an Al-Qaida trained network in Britain.
Officials here said there was cooperation between security agencies to share intelligence but no foreign intelligence operations were permitted on Pakistani soil.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown called President Asif Zardari after arrests in London and repeated the allegation that Al-Qaida threat originated from Pakistan. He urged Zardari to do more to eliminate terrorist cells and training camps in Pakistan. Brown's office said they had agreed their countries "share a serious threat from terrorism and violent extremism", and had committed to "work together to address this common challenge".
Brown also told Al-Jazeera television that "most of Al-Qaida's base is in Pakistan" and "we need all cooperation that we have with the Pakistani authorities" to deal with terrorists operating from that country.
The Guardian said subsequent, intensive searches of at least 10 addresses linked to the suspected Al-Qaida plot in northern Britain had so far failed to turn up any clear evidence of a terrorist conspiracy, despite the huge resources devoted.
Forty-eight hours after the arrests, sources close to the inquiry say no evidence has been found of bombs, bomb-making parts, precursor chemicals to make explosives, a bomb factory, weapons or ammunition.
The police is continuing to search 10 addresses in Liverpool and the Cheetham Hill area of Greater Manchester. Examination of computers recovered from raids in Manchester, Liverpool and Clitheroe has only just begun.
In past cases, data recovered from computers has been a source of incriminating evidence. Other forensic tests are also at an early stage.
The paper quoted one senior source saying "nothing of huge significance" had been found, and accepted it was possible that no evidence could emerge before the 28-day limit to hold terrorism suspect expired. But the source added: "There is lots of material that when put together may take us somewhere. It will be a long and drawn out investigation.
The Guardian also reported a diplomatic spat between London and Islamabad over Pakistani High Commissioner Wajid Shamsul Hasan statement that Britain was failing to do enough to stop terror suspects entering the country.
Hasan told Newsnight: "It was at your end you have to do something more. We are already doing everything. We are raiding people, we are arresting suspects wherever we find them." The British government sources dismissed Hasan's criticisms.

An Indian Embassy official in Bangkok told Commerce and Industry Minister Kamal Nath, who was representing the country at the summit, was safe.
Heads of states of other member countries were also evacuated to safety, reports said.
Thailand declared a state of emergency after supporters of former Thai prime minister Thaksin Sginawatra stormed the summit venue, demanding the resignation of incumbent prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva.
The postponement of the India-ASEAN summit, the second time since December 2008, would further delay a free trade agreement between New Delhi and the 10-nation trading bloc.
Nath, who had stepped in for Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, was also to attend a summit of east Asian countries (ASEAN, Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea and New Zealand) that was to discuss Asia's response to the global economic crisis, among other things.
Heads of multilateral agencies like World Bank, IMF were also to participate in these deliberations. — PTI
As the protests entered the third day today, the police found the mutilated bodies of six men at Margat coal field, 40 km from the provincial capital Quetta. The hands and legs of the men had been tied before they were shot in the head, police officer Abdul Malik Durrani said.
A personnel of the Balochistan Constabulary was killed in Quetta by unidentified gunmen while assailants fired four rockets at a security check post at Loti in Sui district this morning. The rockets landed near the check post without causing any casualties, officials said.
The normal life in the province, which borders the restive NWFP, has been paralysed since the mutilated bodies of three Baloch leaders Ghulam Muhammad Baloch, Lala Munir and Sher Muhammad Bugti were found on Wednesday. Baloch leaders blame Pakistan's security and intelligence agencies for killing them. — PTI
Sri Lankan troops nearing the end of their campaign against Tamil Tigers have entered the no-fire zone in the north, state radio reported today.
Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation in its main English news bulletin said the army's 58 division led by Brigadier Shavendra Silva had entered Puttumatalan no-fire zone last evening.
However, the military is yet to officially confirm the troops' entry to the government-declared no-fire zone for the safety of over 1,00,000 civilians from the minority Tamil community.
The army's 58, 53, 59 and task force eight divisions have been surrounding the area since Wednesday when the government announced its final notice to the LTTE rebels to surrender and allow civilians to escape for safety.
According to Sri Lankan military, the rebel communications monitored have indicated serious difference of opinions among the LTTE members after the announcement. The rebels have fired at civilians who wanted to leave for the safety under government control.
The government claims that some 66,000 civilians have already arrived in government welfare centres and more are expected. The military said once the civilians exit the area, they would free the entire area of Puttumatalan free of rebels ending their over three-decade-old separatist campaign. — Xinhua
'Protect trapped civilians'
Washington: Expressing deep concern about the plight of Tamil civilians trapped in the northern war-zones, the US has asked a visiting Sri Lankan official to take steps to protect them.
The Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia, Richard Boucher, last afternoon held talks with visiting Sri Lankan Foreign Secretary Palitha Kohona at the Foggy Bottom headquarters of the State Department.
The two officials discussed the situation in displaced persons' camps. Boucher emphasised the need to have a clear plan for expeditious resettlement of displaced persons, Aker said in a statement. — PTI
In a break with tradition that has sparked howls of protest, the college said yesterday that it would not honour Obama on the grounds that America's first black President had an insufficient "body of work".
US universities invariably bestow honorary degrees upon speakers invited to give commencement addresses for graduates.
However an ASU spokeswoman was quoted in several reports as saying Obama had done nothing to deserve the honour, despite being elected the first African-American President and publishing two best-selling books.
"It's our practice to recognise an individual for his body of work, somebody who's been in his position for a long time," ASU spokeswoman Sharon Keeler was quoted as saying.
"His body of work is yet to come. That's why we're not recognising him with a degree at the beginning of his presidency," she said.
ASU President Michael Crow told a local newspaper the university would not reverse its position, stating that the college had a policy of not giving honorary degrees to sitting politicians. — AFP
Maulvi Faqir Mohammad, the militant commander in Bajaur Agency and a deputy of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan chief Baitullah Mehsud, announced the decision to enforce Shariah in the region during a broadcast on his illegal FM radio station yesterday.
Mohammad also barred women from stepping out of their homes without male relatives, banned shaving of beards and warned people against availing assistance from the Benazir Income Support Programme, a government project to provide financial aid to women.
During a 40-minute speech on radio, Mohammad said he and his fighters would spare no effort to strictly implement Islamic laws in the region. The Taliban have formed an "action group" to ensure the enforcement of Shariah. — PTI
President Barack Obama yesterday nominated for the post Larry EchoHawk, a law professor at Brigham Young University and a member of the Pawnee tribe. As well as being the former attorney general, EchoHawk ran for Idaho Governor in 1994, losing to Republican Phil Batt by fewer than 35,000 votes. At the time, he would have been the nation's first American Indian Governor.
He became the first American Indian elected to a constitutional statewide office when he became attorney general in the early 1990s, the White House said.
The embattled Indian Affairs agency has been without a leader for some time. The most recent head, Carl Artman, took the post in March 2007 after it had been vacant for two years, then resigned a little more than a year later.
The agency, which manages 66 million acres and oversees Indian schools and other programmes, has been embroiled in a lawsuit for 12 years over Indian trust land. The long-running suit claims the Indians were swindled out of billions of dollars in oil, gas, grazing, timber and other royalties overseen by the Interior Department since 1887.
Obama nominated Yvette Roubideaux last month as the director of the Indian Health Service, which is part of the Department of Health and Human Services. — AP
Mehsud was tipped off by the ISI to enable him escape attempts to capture or kill him in the last two years, Newsweek reported. Operations were launched by Pakistani security forces to kill or capture Mehsud. But each time he vanished without incident.
Counter-terrorism experts said officials in both Washington and Islamabad suspect Mehsud has contacts inside the ISI, Pakistan's "inscrutable and sprawling intelligence agency". The report quoted a Pakistani source as saying US officials have shared with their counterparts in Islamabad some intelligence, indicating that renegade ISI elements helped Mehsud's group train for the assassination of Benazir Bhutto. — PTI

Sikhs arrive in Lahore for Baisakhi fest
LAHORE: A large number of Sikhs arrived here on Saturday to take part in the Baisakhi festival, Geo TV reported. According to the report, the first special train carrying 290 Sikhs arrived at Wagah railway station Saturday morning. Four such trains will bring about three thousand pilgrims from around the world, including India, to the city to celebrate the Baisakhi festival on Monday. Keeping in view the recent terrorist attacks across the country, the Pakistani authorities have taken strict security measures to ensure the safety of the pilgrims. For the first time, paramilitary Pakistan Rangers have been deployed for the security arrangements. — IANS

The deceased were named as Jaspal Virdee from Sutton Coldfield; Jaswinder Randhawa from Wolver-hampton and a young woman named Anita. — PTI

Detroit Casinos Closed Until May After Whitmer's Latest Executive Order
Written By Matt Schoch on April 9, 2020 - Last Updated on October 23, 2020
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer extended the Michigan stay-at-home order through April 30 on Thursday, meaning there will be an entire month of Detroit casinos closed.
Detroit's Greektown Casino-Hotel, MGM Grand Detroit and MotorCity Casino will remain closed as part of the executive order to combat the spread of COVID-19.
The announcement extends Whitmer's previous order, which was set to expire on Monday.
"We must continue to do everything we can to slow the spread and protect our families," Whitmer said.
Though Michigan's 23 tribal casinos are not subject to Whitmer's order, all of them are closed, with many of them planning to be shut down for the foreseeable future.
Detroit casino revenue slowed
The Detroit casinos closed on March 16, resulting in a slowdown of revenue.
When the Michigan Gaming Control Board announced its first-quarter aggregate revenue this week, Detroit's casinos' numbers were down 18.5% in 2020. Those numbers included a 59.1% drop in March compared to 2019 when it was business as usual.
This, despite an uptick in revenue expected from the opening of Michigan sports betting in the Detroit casinos fast-tracked to open by the NCAA Tournament in college basketball.
The openings were on time, but COVID-19 changed the plans.
Michigan COVID-19 cases dipping
Michigan topped 1,000 deaths from the novel coronavirus on Thursday after passing the 20,000-case milestone on Wednesday.
After Thursday's count of 117 deaths and 1,158 new cases, Michigan was at 1,076 deaths and 21,504 cases. Those numbers are both third-most in the country, behind New York and New Jersey.
There are positives in the grim details, though, as Wednesday's 1,376 reported new cases representing an eight-day low with Thursday's total even lower than that.
Michigan tribal casinos closed
Though they are not under Whitmer's order, Michigan's tribal casinos have been closed since March 22.
Many proposed short closures of one week or 10 days, but reopening dates have been pushed back as the crisis continues.
For instance, the Upper Peninsula's pair of Ojibwa Casinos and five Kewadin Casinos will be closed until the end of April, according to recent announcements.
COVID-19 impact on Michigan casinos
The shutdowns have also spurred a push to get online casinos up and running faster than the estimated early 2021 date.
Allen Kerridge, the interim CEO of the five Kewadin locations, told PlayMichigan on Thursday that distancing measures could change the map of casino floors.
"It creates a mechanism for us to think about maybe how our floors look and how we should be setting them up," Kerridge said. "Obviously moving forward, I'm sure not just us, many properties will take a look at what their layout is like."


The original Power Stone was one of the most exciting launch titles on the Dreamcast. It built on many of the arena fighting concepts established by Poy Poy on the Playstation.
Power Stone was also Capcom's first successful attempt at bringing their quirky by killer style of fighting to the third dimension.
Power Stone 2 takes everything from the original and turns it up a notch (or two). Most noticeably, the game now supports four players for a completely chaotic experience.
"The second installment in the Power Stone series takes all the basic ideas of the first and makes them bigger and better. If you loved the first one, brace yourself, because you'll go bonkers over the sequel.
The first Power Stone made its mark as a fighting game by placing more of an emphasis on using weapons and the environment than the traditional combos and super moves. The style of Power Stone 2's gameplay is exactly the same as the first.

I want to perform the below :
for event in $(cat /path/hwEventType.txt); do echo "$minx_$event_2001"; done

But I got empty lines.
Is there any way to use a variable contains in its name a variable?

A: To possible ways to achieve this:

*

*using a intermediate variable name :
for event in $(cat /path/hwEventType.txt); do
  echo myvar="minx_$event_2001";
  echo ${!myvar};
done

*use a table to store / retrieve things instead of separate variables in your loops:
miny[$event]=$(cut -f4 - ... )
and then
echo ${miny[$event]}

The spokesperson for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Matt Frei Israel doesn't want war with any of its neighbours.
David Keyes, the spokesperson for Benjamin Netanyahu, says that while Israel doesn't want war, the Iranian regime does.
"We don't want war at all but unfortunately Iranian regime aims are expressly to wage war to annihilate Israel and that's what they're doing, sometimes patiently, sometimes covertly, sometimes overtly, but their their intention has not changed at all," he said.
Tensions between the two countries rose when Trump pulled America out of the Iran nuclear deal.
Israel blamed Iran for targeting its troops in the Golan Heights, but retaliated by firing back at an Iranian logistics headquarters.
The exchange is the most significant encounter between the two enemies.
"What you're calling an aggressive military policy, I would call it restrained policy in order to defend our citizens from annihilation," Mr Keyes said.
"So a bit a bit different nomenclature that I would use there.
"It's not up to Israel to decide who leads the countries a few thousand miles away from it.
"What is necessary is that we look at reality as it is not as we wish it to be we wish that there was an Iranian leadership that was desirous of peace, whose hand was outstretched in peace as is ours, who didn't call for our annihilation, who didn't attempt to gobble up the Middle East and impose theocratic dictatorship.

When Beatlemania Is a Microaggression…
It is time to rejoice, for all our troubles are so far away...
Nick Gillespie | 12.29.2015 11:27 AM
Over at National Review, Kat Timpf (also a featured panelist on Greg Gutfeld's Saturday night Fox News show), relates a tale that sums up the low stakes of much debate over political correctness, microaggressions, and the like.
Forget about mediocre ethnic food served up in cafeterias, claiming that "America is the land of opportunity," or saying yoga is yoga, rather than "mindful stretching."
It's Beatlemania that is culturally insensitive and intolerant. Psychology professor Adam J. Rodriguez of California's Notre Dame de Namaur University tells the story of a friend who "is a really, really big Beatles fan" and "insisted that I dedicate time to listen to them."
Summarizes Timpf:
Rodriguez, who is Puerto Rican, explained that his friend was part of "the dominant culture" that makes people Beatles fans — and the fact that he dared to criticize Rodriguez for not being one was insensitive and meant he just didn't recognize the "power and privileges" he had as a white dude that Rodriguez did not have.
"All cultures contain within them many subcultures, with one cultural dimension often dominant," Rodriguez wrote. "When one is a member of the dominant culture, that person enjoys particular power and privileges, including the freedom to not have to consider other perspectives."…
According to Rodriguez, his friend was just not culturally literate enough to realize that while he "grew up a white middle-class male in the 70s and 80s, to parents who grew up on the Beatles," Rodriguez grew up "a Puerto Rican lower-class male in the 80s whose parents played guajira, salsa, and Motown/classic R&B/soul."
Timpf's piece is here. Rodriguez originally wrote his article in October for Psyched in San Francisco and it was reprinted a few weeks ago at The Huffington Post. He explains further:
My lack of interest in [the Beatles'] music could only be understood by [my friend] as psychopathology. I was flawed….
Note though that I do have a historical appreciation for the Beatles and Led Zeppelin and Andy Warhol and The Great Gatsby. This is because these are important cultural elements of the dominant culture within which I live. Oscar Hernandez, James Jamerson, and Hunger of Memory are not part of the dominant culture in the same ways. This dynamic occurs in many situations: The person from the non-dominant culture is knowledgeable in dominant culture ideals and values, but the person from the dominant culture is not conversant in aspects of the non-dominant culture. For example, at the playground, heteronormative parents playfully ask my 3-year-old if he "has a girlfriend yet" despite the fact that I truly do not know what my son's sexual orientation, or gender identification for that matter, is and will be. Because the dominant group's perspective is vast institutionally reinforced, this can lead to others feeling excluded, other, or "less than."
There is an implication of a paradigm of normality, and when someone does not fit into that paradigm, it can be uncomfortable for that person, especially if they are dismissed because of their difference like I was.
For the record, I sympathize completely with Rodriguez regarding his opinion of the Beatles, whom I've long seen as a plague upon pop music and generational equity. I'm also willing to stand toe to toe with anyone when it comes to knowing every stupid detail of the Fab Four's history (for an excellent Reason story about why the Beatles remain so popular, go here).
And as the child of parents raised in immigrant households in the 1920s and '30s, I also have a strong sense of how dominant cultures can oppress newcomers even when they are relatively welcoming and ultimately accomodating to all sorts of people from all sorts of backgrounds. For the record, my parents had no appreciation for or understanding of the Beatles, either. Indeed, when I came home from a late night the evening that John Lennon had been shot, my father told me that "one of those Beatles had been killed." When I asked which one, he shrugged and said, "Not the one with the nose, the one with the wife."
To be sure, Rodriguez's friend, like all friends who have a band or performer they absoutely insist that YOU MUST LOVE, sounds like a real pain in the ass (however well-meaning he might be).
What bothers me ultimately in all this is the sheer banality and humorlessness of Rodriguez's complaint, the hypersensitivity to real and imagined slights, especially at a time when the most serious and punishing forms of racism and cultural insensitivity have mostly been vanquished from everyday society. Which isn't to say everything is peachy. I suspect he would agree with me that the drug war continues at least in part because of institutional racism that views black and dark-skinned casualties as less worth of concern than, say, Al Gore's son. Immigration policy has always been influenced by manifest and latent racial prejudice and that certainly still is the case. White Americans tolerate and even insist on maintaining godawful urban public schools because the mostly minority kids who go there don't matter to them (this is changing, of course, and many advocates of school choice talk about the issue as the civil rights struggle of our day). And on and on.
Yet on virtually every level, things are vastly different than they were when, say, my Italian relatives in the '30s and '40s were dismissed out of hand as not being college material due to their ethnicity and lower-class status. If you're getting that bent out of shape because your friend (friend!) is forcing you to listen to the French horn solo on "For No One" or pretend that "Revolution 9" doesn't totally suck, you've got nothing left to complain about. And that's not even addressing the fact that knowing both dominant-culture codes and non-dominant-culture mores clearly gives a person more ways to operate within a given system.
When you go back and read Hunger of Memory, the great 1980s memoir by Richard Rodriguez name-checked by Adam Rodriguez, being forced to listen to the Beatles as the result of an overzealous friend isn't the heart of the matter. Richard Rodriguez, whose books and essays explore what it means to be Mexican American, working class, smart, gay, Catholic, and more was pilloried for questioning bilingual education and affirmative action quotas in higher education. A thoughtful progressive, he told Reason in a 1994 interview that there existed a serious resistance on the left to actual diversity of thought:
What people mean by multiculturalism is different hues of themselves. They don't mean Islamic fundamentalists or skinheads. They mean other brown and black students who share opinions like theirs. It isn't diversity. It's a pretense to diversity. And this is an exposure of it—they can't even tolerate my paltry opinion.
There has never been less of a dominant monoculture than ever before and there has never been as open a standing invitation to open people's minds to what you like, care about, and think is totally fab and gear. Without a doubt, there are people who are convinced and terrified that the world they grew up is in its death throes (watch this if you don't believe me), which only underscores the point that the mainstream has shrunk since the mid-'90s when we talked with Rodriguez, much less 1970, when the Beatles broke up (thank you for that, Yoko Ono, thank you, thank you, thank you). From that 1994 interview again:
Most people tend to use culture in a static sense—he represents this culture and I represent this culture. I think culture is much more fluid and experiential. I belong to many cultures. I've had many cultural experiences. And the notion that I've lost my culture is ludicrous. because you can't lose a culture. You can change a culture in your lifetime. as in fact most of us do. I'm not my father. I didn't grow up in the state of Colima in Western Mexico. I grew up in California in the 1950s. The notion that I've lost his culture is, of course, at some level true, but not interesting. The interesting thing is that my culture is I Love Lucy.
For the perpetually aggrieved, time has stood still as it did for Miss Havisham and they mistake the current moment, which has different problems and advantages and contexts, for a past whose issues and indignities no longer pertain in the same way. The hunt is always afoot not for moving to a future that is open-ended, inclusive, and far more interesting and innovative than the present but for reviving and maintaining grievances, no matter how trivial and inconsequential. And in the grand scheme of things, there are far worse things to deal with than having to brush off questions about your toddler's sexuality or suffering through "Octopus' Garden."

IND Vs AUS: Tim Paine expresses disappointment, reasons for not winning Sydney Test
SMX Shubham Mohare
IND Vs AUS: The third Test played between Australia and India at the Sydney Cricket Ground was a draw. India batsmen showed amazing passion on the last day of the Test and drew the Test match. Australia captain Tim Paine has stated his own poor performance as the reason for the match draw. Penn took the responsibility of dropping the catch after the match and also said that it is difficult to digest.
In the second over on the last day, Australia had become a strong contender for victory with the wicket of Ajinkya Rahane. Rishabh Pant's 97-run innings brought India back into the match, but Pant would have been out already if the Australian captain had not missed his catch twice. Penn said, "We created a lot of opportunities. Our bowlers bowled brilliantly. So it is difficult to digest. I accept my mistake of dropping the catch."
Penn said that many positive things have been learned from this match. The Australian captain said, "We are ready for Brisbane now. We did not play our best cricket in Adelaide, nor in Melbourne, but it was a very close match. The players made their best efforts today. The two young players played internationally Played good cricket. Will Pukowski started with a half-century and Cameron Green also helped us a lot in our second innings. "
Pen expressed disappointment
Tin pens have also come under target due to their antics behind the wicket. Tim Paine has apologized to Ashwin and Team India for their behavior. The Australian captain said, "It was the worst match of my career. I did not perform the game according to my standards.

Ranges made in the UK
The things we make here in the UK
Now as you are no doubt aware Old Glory is a US based company founded around 1990 by Russ Dunaway and sculptor Dave Allsop and for the first year or so working out of Russ's garage until the purpose built factory was finished. For many years all the many and various ranges – although largely designed in the UK were manufactured in the USA and while sculptors are now primarily US based- the production still takes place at the factory in Pennsylvania.
However here in the UK we now make a small but growing number of ranges- some of which are exclusive to us here.
This has come about through a variety of means. There are still ranges which are sculpted in the UK for Old Glory and the other US companies that I, here in the UK deal with but by a series of lucky chances and careful purchasing I now have several ranges which are primarily UK based and produced.
Foremost of these is the "Lil'flyin' Fokkers" range of 15mm (1/100th scale) aircraft models. At the time of writing the range has over 50 models and is still expanding. These are in scale with the Command Decision range of WW2 and Modern 15mm Vehicles and infantry which are also 1/100th.
There is no scale confusion here. I know there are chaps out there who think 1/144th aircraft are the same as 1/100th scale tanks "cos they are up in the air" but trust me guys it simply ain't so.
1 /144th go beautifully with the minifigs N (12mm) WW2 ranges but are too small for 15mm by about 20% or so. Numerous customers of the Command Decision range had pointed this out to me then a fella called Glen Brooks came along and said - "I have a few 15mm aircraft but I don't really want to develop the range do you fancy it ..." Is the Pope a Catholic thought I!!
So therefore gentle reader you can see why when I got the chance to develop a proper scale integrated range I took it. So far the range has mostly WW2 aircraft for all of the major combatants but there are also a few WW1 and 4 modern helicopters plus several modern aircraft including the Hawker Hunter and by the time you read this the Pucara. Future plans will include adding more WW2 aircraft and also some post war jet aircraft.
Also in 15mm we have a slowly growing range of Vehicles and Figures echoing modern conflicts. So far there are 12 infantry packs, 3 crew packs and 12 vehicle packs plus -under the "Fireforce15 " label some scenic items and a growing range of homegrown 15mm figures and vehicles for bushfire wars and newest of all 1980s British and Argentinians for the Falklands War. The Britis will also find themselves in BAOR for the sort of "Cold War gets Hot" scenarios that have become popular in recent years .To that end a range of 1980s Russians are in the Planning stage and more AFV are in the pipeline.
Carrying on the modern Warfare theme we also own and manufacture the Brooks Miniatures range of 28mm Modern figures. Again this is down to Glen Brooks- an ex Army NCO who initially developed the range . "Andy" he says to me one day "would you like to buy this range?" "Why?" I asked somewhat nonplussed "It's a little cracker." "Well "says Glen "I'm well sick of having to answer daft questions from numpties on the lines of they didn't wear /carry that in Iraq -well I was there and I carried the bloody thing so I should know"
So after a little negotiation the Pope once again averred his Catholicism and I acquired the rather splendid little range of figures and buildings. Since that time I've added another 10 or so packs and periodic expansion will continue.
In 40mm there are several small lines. Most notably, Ancient Greeks and English Civil War/Thirty Years War under the Romanoff label. The 17th century stuff is compatible with the US based Sash and Saber ECW range and the superb figures for Drabant of Moscow and for my own use I've swapped parts and horse between all 3 ranges producing some individual figures which I'm quite chuffed about. I also have the ex Jacdaw 40mm TYW figures which will be integrated into the Romanoff range and add more command figures and Continental style infantry as well as cavalry and artillery to the range.
Also made in the UK are the 40mm Toy soldier style figures of "The Glorious Victorian Toy Soldier Company " showing figures of the High Victorian era in the toy soldier style.

How to Sell Products on the Web
Research by Wendy Moe
Researchers have long believed that consumers make purchase decisions in two stages. In the first stage (stage 1), consumers select a smaller group of products from the wide choice that is available to them. In the second stage (stage 2), consumers select and purchase a product from this smaller set. Because it is very difficult to observe the first stage, researchers have several theories about consumer behavior in that stage but little empirical evidence. Dr. Wendy W. Moe, assistant professor of marketing at the Smith School, in her paper "Empirical 2-Stage Choice Model with Varying Decision Rules Applied to Internet Clickstream Data," examines both these stages using data from online purchases.
Moe's research shows that consumers are looking at different product attributes in the two stages. Consumers also tend to do a simpler mental analysis in stage 1 compared to stage 2. Moe's study also reveals that there may be some preliminary evidence that consumers consider product attributes such as price and size only in one of the two stages; whereas other product attributes are considered in both stages. From a managerial perspective, Moe's results have strong implications for product marketing strategies.
Moe collected seven months of data from a retailer of nutritional products. She then focused her analysis on the two most popular products categories on the Web site: weight loss aids and meal replacements. She looked at data from the purchasing activities of 142 buyers in the weight loss aid category and 143 buyers in the meal replacement category. Buyers in the weight loss aid category accounted for 420 stage 1 and 278 stage 2 choices. Buyers in the meal replacement category accounted for 438 stage 1 and 295 stage 2 choices. The data she collected captured the specific page requests made by shoppers. For weight loss aids she identified six attributes: price, size, brand, ephedrine, caffeine, and St. John's Wort. For meal replacements, she identified five attributes: price, size, brand, flavor, and protein.
Moe found that in stage 1, where consumers are screening the wide choices available to them to select a smaller set, they tend to use simpler mental decision rules than in stage 2, where they are making purchase decisions on the products in the selected smaller set. Price and size tended to be important in only one of the two stages, whereas ingredient attributes play a role in both stages. Flavor tended to be more important in the second stage than the first stage.
The research findings have strong implications for promotional design and targeting. From a managerial standpoint, it is important to identify which product attributes are being used for screening decisions (stage 1), for purchasing decisions (stage 2) and for both. This information combined with the knowledge of how a product is performing in the two stages can enable managers to devise better targeting strategies. Also, if consumers show a high preference for variety in stage 1, it possibly indicates greater consumer uncertainty and therefore perhaps a need for more education in the form of product information.
Although these results may be applicable to other products, Moe is quick to point out that her analysis was done on weight loss aids and meal replacements. Thus, it is not entirely certain that analysis of other products will reveal similar results.
Moe recommends that marketing managers identify the product characteristics that are important in each stage, and then promote their products based on how the product is performing in each stage. Managers should look at the strengths and weaknesses of the product in each stage and then select an appropriate intervention.
The availability of Internet commerce data has opened up the possibility of a flood of related research. Moe plans to continue to explore the data-rich world of Internet shopping. "I am interested in tracking a customer right from the point that they visit the Web site to the point that they make a purchase or no-purchase decision," says Moe. "Eventually, I hope my research generates a model which allows me to make probabilistic predictions as to whether a customer will buy something or not."
"Empirical 2-Stage Choice Model with Varying Decision Rules Applied to Internet Clickstream Data" was published in the Journal of Marketing Research. For more information about this research, please contact wmoe@rhsmith.umd.edu.

During the winter months, you may have winterized your AC. If you have turned off the power to the system, now is the time you will want to turn it back on. You will also want to remove any covers and insulation that are covering any components outside, such as fluid lines and the heat pump unit. Remove all these things and make sure the system is clean and free of any debris, like leaves from the autumn months.
The air filter of your system needs to be changed now too. If you have separate filters for the AC and furnace, change both of them. In addition, you may want to buy extra filters to do maintenance to your system throughout the summer months. Regularly changing your filter can help to prevent many common AC problems when you use your system most.
Before it gets too hot, start your AC and look at all the components for any problems. Check to make sure that everything is in working order and no repairs are needed. This can be a good time to look for problems like leaks or a dirty coil that can cause problems later when you need cooling. If you turn the system on and the heat pump does not come on, turn the thermostat down to get it to come on, so you can check these things.
Before you start using your cooling, you may want to have an HVAC technician service your system. They can do things like clean the coil and small repairs that need to be done. They can also charge the compressor if the system is getting low on coolant gas.
These are some air conditioning maintenance tips for the spring to help keep you cool during the summer. If you need help with servicing and repairs to your AC, contact an HVAC company, like Southwest Heating and Cooling, to ensure you are ready for record breaking heat.

Q: Highstock | Zooming on xAxis causes Browser Crash I really don't know what to do anymore. I am developing a highstock chart in my webapplication. the data is loaded correctly but as soon as i enable the zoomType : 'x' in the Chart options i start to get an error at zooming.
I can't reproduce the error properly. But when i try to zoom along the xAxis and select nearly every point which is displayed in the chart it runs and zooms just fine. But when i select a smaller group of points the browser just stops until chrome shuts down. In the task manager i see memory building up to 1GB of RAM usage.  i tested it in other browsers and got the same error. I don't handle the events on the xAxis - it's just to zoom in and out.
The highstockData.jsp is just a file with many timestamps.
tldr: when i select many points, it goes just fine.
when i select just a few points, the browser crashes and memory starts leaking
Update: When i enable the rangeSelector and click on 1m it starts to build up memory too. But when i wait additional minutes ( up to 5 minutes) it loads and the memory starts to go down again.
Update2:  I tried debugging it some more. i made a screenshot of the cpu usage profile within chrome after i waited nearly 5 minutes . http://i.imgur.com/xmqhI.png it says that nearly 80% of the cpu usage is used by getnonlineartimeticks.
Solution: Just for the information of others. it's  resolved. The problem was the
xAxis : {
     tickInterval : 4
  },

Forcing the xAxis on a small tickInterval caused all the troubles...
here is some code:
function initHighstock() {
options = {
    chart : {

            var items = line.split(',');

            var myDate = new Date(Math.round(items[0] * 1000));
            series.data.push([ parseInt(Math.round(myDate.getTime())),     parseInt(Math.round(myDate.getHours())) ]);
            myDate = null;

    });

    options.series.push(series);
    // Create the chart
    var chart1 = new Highcharts.StockChart(options);
    chart1.redraw();

});
};

A: Solution: Just for the information of others. it's resolved. The problem was the:
xAxis : {
 tickInterval : 4
 },

Forcing the xAxis on a small tickInterval caused all the troubles.

A: Please use latest version of Highchart.
generally this kind of issue arise because of compact (minified) js file. Use highstock.src.js file instead of highstock.js

Christmas Lists, New Year's Resolutions and Economic Freedom
Creators Syndicate
Veronique de Rugy
It's Christmas time again, and with it come the dreams of better times. Families struggling with the consequences of the most recent recession will be happy to know that there is a simple way to improve their lives and keep or make more money in the process. It's called economic freedom, and the United States used to be very good at maintaining it. Economic freedom is measured by, among other things, levels of personal choice, the ability to enter markets and the security of privately owned property. According to the Fraser Institute's annual Economic Freedom of the World report, the United States ranks 16th in terms of being an economically free country. It is a significant fall from its second-place status in 2000.
It's Christmas time again, and with it come the dreams of better times. Families struggling with the consequences of the most recent recession will be happy to know that there is a simple way to improve their lives and keep or make more money in the process. It's called economic freedom, and the United States used to be very good at maintaining it.
Economic freedom is measured by, among other things, levels of personal choice, the ability to enter markets and the security of privately owned property. According to the Fraser Institute's annual Economic Freedom of the World report, the United States ranks 16th in terms of being an economically free country. It is a significant fall from its second-place status in 2000.
"A weakened rule of law, the so-called wars on terrorism and drugs, and a confused regulatory environment have helped erode economic freedom in the United States," explains Fred McMahon, one of the report's authors.
There is a vast amount of literature on the benefits of economic freedom. For instance, a review of 45 studies by economists Chris Doucouliagos and Mehmet Ali Ulubasoglu shows a strong relationship between economic freedom and growth. But it is also associated with higher income levels (i.e., more money in people's pockets) and better environment outcomes (better living conditions).
Better yet, as my colleague Matthew Mitchell documented in several places, more economic freedom also means less of the things we don't want — such as national insecurity, crimes and infant mortality — and more of the stuff we do want, such as literacy. He writes, "The balance of evidence is overwhelming that economic freedom corresponds with a wide variety of positive outcomes with almost no negative tradeoffs."
The same results can be found at the state level. For instance, an article called "More Economic Freedom, More Jobs," published in the October 2013 issue of Regulation magazine, looks at what could explain the large differences in unemployment rates among the states. Though they acknowledge that the gradations can be partially attributed to demographics, hangovers from the housing crisis, or the oil-and-gas boom, the authors wanted to attempt to measure the impact that economic freedom can have on unemployment rates.
Their main finding is that there is a strong negative relationship between economic freedom and unemployment across the states, even when controlling for many other factors that affect the labor market.
Having a job — versus not having one — is obviously great and means more money in a family's pocket. But another source of financial improvement for families could come from actually getting rid of a bunch of government programs and regulations. There are so many that I can't list them all, but obviously, ending the decades long war on drugs seems like a no-brainer. It would bring tremendous benefits to many families whose loved ones are locked up and the lives that are destroyed because big-government policy dictates what individuals can and cannot consume. Indeed, some 80 percent of drug-related arrests are for possession alone.
But smaller changes in policies would also save Americans a lot of money. At The Heritage Foundation, economist Salim Furth lists 12 free market reforms that would save the average American household $4,440 a year. At the local level, these policies include ending or limiting zoning laws — such as parking minimums and height restrictions for buildings. At the state level, ending occupational licensing laws and implementing medical tort reform, among other things, would improve economic freedom and save Americans their hard-earned cash.
Not surprisingly, the biggest savings would come from reforms at the federal level. Getting rid of the ethanol mandate, which requires refiners to use corn for gasoline, would save the average household $255 a year. Getting rid of the Obama administration's Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards would save the average household $448 a year. Lifting crude oil export restrictions would save the average household $227. And reducing the complexity and compliance costs of the corporate income tax would save the average household $230 per year.
I am sure that making or keeping more of their own money is on many Americans' Christmas lists this year. Maybe Congress should put improving economic freedom on its New Year's resolution list.

1. In a large glass bowl, whisk together the balsamic, Worcestershire, brown sugar, and garlic.
2. Add the skirt steak to the mixture, cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 25 minutes at room temperature. Turn the meat in the bowl several times during the marinading process.
3. Prepare grill to medium-high heat and oil the grate or prepare a grilling pan for the steak.
Remove steak from the bowl and discard marinade.
4. Sprinkle both sides of steak with salt and pepper, then place steak on grill, close lid, and cook for just 3 minutes, flip and cook another 3 minutes or until done to your liking.
5. Remove steak from grill, cover LOOSELY with a foil tent, and let the steak stand at room temperature for 5 minutes. Do NOT skip this step.
6. Cut steaks into very thin slices on the diagonal and serve immediately.
Skirt steak is an inexpensive meat that needs to be cooked right. Just those 4 ingredients make a fantastic marinade that tastes great AND tenderizes the meat.
You must remember to let the skirt steak rest after grilling. You must also slice it very thin on the diagonal. These are not suggestions - they are really part of the cooking instructions that make this meal work.

ACU responds to Huckabee attack on CPAC
← return to Water Cooler
By Kerry Picket The Washington Times - February 22, 2010, 06:43PM
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee ripped into the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) yesterday calling it increasingly "more Libertarian and less Republican over the last few years, one of the reasons why I didn't go this year." He responded this way after Fox News host Geraldo Rivera presented the CPAC straw poll voter results showing that the governor scored poorly at only four percent among CPAC straw poll voters.
At the goading of Mr. Rivera, Mr. Huckabee slammed CPAC as now irrelevant due to the tea party events all over the country. The former Arkansas governor and presidential GOP candidate said, "The tea party has taken all the oxygen out of the room, where CPAC was historically the event, the tea parties now are having their events all over the country and a lot more grassroots people are truly getting involved, because of the tea parties."
He took his biggest shot at how CPAC finds co-sponsors and speakers for their panels, saying, "I think because the way it solicits sponsors, its almost become a pay for play. It's kind of like who will pay money to be able to be a sponsor and to be able to get time on the program. That's what hurt its credibility in the last couple of years."
The American Conservative Union, the organization that hosts CPAC each year, has responded to Mr. Huckabee:
"We are perplexed by Governor Huckabee's comments about CPAC given our long and cordial relationship with him and his family.
For those who don't understand how CPAC operates, here is a thumbnail sketch: Our cosponsors meet several times during the year to suggest topics and speakers who they believe should be invited. Many of those invited are from groups that are neither co-sponsors nor financial supporters of the conference itself. This year, for example, groups that provided speakers but weren't co-sponsors included among others Fox News, the American Enterprise Institute, and The Club for Growth, The Tea Party Patriots, Students for Life and dozens of others.
The Governor himself has spoken at several CPAC conferences in the past and he was invited to speak at CPAC 2010. On December 18th we were advised that his schedule wouldn't permit his participation this year, but hoped we would have a 'wonderful event'. The Governor's daughter Sarah was able to attend CPAC, and participated in XPAC, the student lounge at CPAC sponsored by Xtreme Media (radio hosts Kevin McCullough and Stephen Baldwin). Organizers said she did a great job and the CPAC students loved her.
CPAC 2010 drew more than 10,000 conservative activists from around the country representing every part of the movement and including more than 5000 college students. We were proud that Sarah, who introduced her dad at last year's conference, was part of the record-breaking crowd this year.
We hope next year she'll be back and bring her dad!"
The ACU appears to be pretty forgiving of Governor Huckabee's actions on the Fox News channel yesterday given the circumstances. One must wonder what happened when when his daughter, Sarah, caught up with him later on. However, talk about biting the hand that feeds you. CPAC organizers may be quick to turn the other cheek, but CPAC attendees may not be so forgiving next time around.

If you are concerned about paying less at the pump, you probably are equally concerned about keeping your wheels aligned. That is because wheels that are balanced influence how much you will pay for gas.
That is why wheel services in Wilkes Barre, PA are necessary. When a vehicle is not properly aligned, the wheels are not working in sync. When this happens, the wheels and tires begin to work against one another. In turn, the engine pushes harder to propel the car, consuming more gas as a result. However, when the wheels are aligned and balanced, everything begins to work in harmony.
By taking advantage of wheel services such as alignment, you will also experience a smoother ride. A car whose wheels are poorly aligned tends to drift to one side or the other even if the steering wheel is pointed straight ahead. In turn, the ride is bumpier as the shocks and struts are also affected by the shifting of the car.
The wheels and tires and how they are placed are exceptionally important in driving a car safely. Therefore, you can never overlook the importance of wheel services. If you want to prevent costly repairs or hazards on the road, you need to make sure that your wheels are aligned and balanced correctly.
You will also increase the life of your tires as a result. Learn more about these services when you contact a service today, such as T & F Tire Service & Supply Company, Inc. Make sure that your car's wheels and tires are in good shape and properly positioned for driving.
By taking this approach, you will prevent a chain reaction or have to deal with some repairs. Poor alignment causes other parts of the car to wear down unevenly. That means an increased possibility of a breakdown. Play it safe always. Contact a specialist in tire alignment and balancing. Like us on Facebook.

High-Tech Companies are under pressure to increase production yields while minimizing manufacturing defects. It is a perennial challenge that has always been difficult, and it is becoming even more so as product complexity and variety increase.
Yield Optimization helps meet this challenge. It facilitates optimizing the shop floor processes and product quality by capturing actionable manufacturing intelligence and best practices, even in highly complex production environments.
Using a patented algorithm that can discover hidden relationships in production, the solution extracts rules for high and low yields that can easily be analyzed through intuitive data visualization. It also provides critical insights into manufacturing defects that can be used for continual process improvements as well as for immediately alerting the production team so they can stop reproducing known defects. Yield Optimization automatically captures best practices that can be used to improve equipment selection and adjust process and equipment parameters for optimal results.
