Las Vegas is a city that is undergoing constant evolution. New hotels, resorts, and casinos are opening each year as we say goodbye to iconic hotels in favor of modern and revamped amenities and attractions. Visiting Sin City is sure to be a new experience every time you go, and 2020 is looking to have many new hotels and resorts entering the seen in Las Vegas.
There are several Vegas resorts that are either getting rebranded or in the construction phase right now.
Resorts World is currently under construction at the 87-acre site of the former Echelon and Stardust. The integrated resort development is a multi-billion-dollar project with an Asian theme poised to be an international tourist destination.
Resorts World Vegas will be adjacent to Wynn Encore and easy walking distance from the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Construction of the property is being done in phases and Resorts World is expected to open in 2020 with approximately 3,400 hotel rooms, authentic Chinese restaurants, a casino with more than 100,000 square feet of space, retail and boutique offerings, as well as an exotic club venue.
Circa will take up an entire city block. Via Instagram:@circalasvegas.
Circa Resort will be downtown Las Vegas newest resort Hotel and Casino in December 2020. The 44-story hotel will stand prominently on Fremont Street and include 777 rooms. Circa will take up an entire city block and is the first all-new build Downtown Las Vegas has seen in more than four decades.
The Stevens Brothers, who also own D Las Vegas on Fremont Street have described Circa Resort as modern and claimed it would have the largest sports book in Las Vegas.

Formerly known as Fontainebleau, The Drew Las Vegas was just revealed as the new name for the blue tinted tower which will be the first JW Marriott hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. Set to open in 2020, The Drew Las Vegas towers more than 60 stories and will feature 4,000 rooms, a casino, and half a million square feet for event and convention space.
The Vegas property has undergone a long road of failed plans and bankrupted projects. The Fontainebleau was designed as a multi-billion-dollar resort however the 2008 recession quickly halted the project.
The tower was purchased in 2010 but was left almost entirely untouched before being sold in fall of 2018. Current plans include a bridge that will connect The Drew to the nearby Las Vegas Convention Center.
The Stratosphere is set to undergo a $140 million renovation and rebranding to become The Strat Hotel, Casino and Skypod by 2020.
The upper three levels of the hotel will be rebranded to be named The Skypod and will still feature the rides and entertainment that The Stratosphere is known for. All public spaces are receiving major upgrades including the restaurants (some of these projects are already underway), and hotels rooms will undergo a revamp.
The iconic Top of the World Restaurant also has a brand new menu and a sports book, a viewing lounge, and a new bar, Taphouse, will open soon.
2019 will be a year of transition for The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas strip. The details of the rebranding were shared in December 2018 and included a renovation that will begin sometime around Labor Day 2019 and contains a four-month complete closure of the hotel in the beginning months of 2020.
The new owners, who plan to debut the hotel in late spring of 2020, will rebrand and remodel every inch of the hotel including new hotel rooms, bars, and restaurants. Other upgrades will feature a redesigned pool and complete overhaul of the hotel's exterior. The casino will also be expanded, and event space will be modernized and include state-of-the-art security systems.
Virgin Hotel Las Vegas is set to be a sports book themed hotel which will also work with local union groups, something very uncommon with other contractors on the Vegas strip but what some are saying is necessary for the future success of hotels and casinos.
If you don't want to wait until 2020 to visit Las Vegas but still want to enjoy the newest and chicest hotels on the strip and downtown, check out these nearly new Las Vegas Hotels that have recently undergone rebranding or renovations.
The Monte Carlo was rebranded to Park MGM in May of 2018. The rebranding of the 3,000-room center strip hotel includes NoMad Las Vegas, a boutique hotel with 292 guest rooms.
NoMad offers a private swimming pool and casino with the exclusive NoMad Restaurant and Bar encompassing the top four floors of the 360-foot hotel tower. The $550 million project began in 2016 and was finished in late 2018.
The LINQ opened in 2014 after a renovation costing $223 million, but the upscale hotel, casino, and retail promenade have a long history on the Las Vegas Strip.
The property was first opened in 1959 under the name Flamingo Capri, a boutique hotel located next to Flamingo. In 1971 the property was sold and renovated to include 650 rooms and a new Asian theme. The Imperial Palace opened in 1979 with several more towers added in the 1980s which brought the room total to 2,637. The Imperial Palace was renamed in 2012 to The Quad and then just two years later became The LINQ.
The rebranding of the hotel to The LINQ allowed it to join forces with LINQ Promenade, a new, popular open-air retail, and entertainment area. The LINQ also features the High Roller which is the World's Tallest Observation Wheel and the Fly LINQ zipline.
Delano was rebranded from THE hotel in 2014 which took the nongaming hotel with 1,100 rooms and turned it into a luxury style boutique hotel. The $80 million rebranding of the Mandalay Bay Campus hotel from THE Hotel to Delano included a brand new white and airy theme with desert designs in the public spaces marked by the 126,000-pound boulder that forms a passageway to the hotel entrance.
Formerly The Sahara, the SLS property was first built in 1952 but was closed in 2011 for a complete, $415 million renovation and rebranding to SLS. The new hotel opens in summer of 2014 and now features 1,600 guest rooms, four nightclubs, a large casino, several restaurants, and the Fred Segal clothing store. SLS denote Style, Luxury, and Service and rock legend Lenny Kravitz even designed a few of the guestrooms.
SLS was purchased in 2018 with plans announced for an upcoming $100 million renovation and another possibly rebrand later this year (2019).
Cromwell was recently rebranded from Bill's Gamblin' Hall and Saloon and is now a luxury boutique hotel operated by Caesars Entertainment Corp who invested $185 million into renovations in 2013.
Cromwell now features 188 luxury rooms, a casino, and 65,000 square feet rooftop nightclub and a swimming pool. The Cromwell also is home to Giada De Laurentiis first restaurant which is known for its romantic views of the Bellagio Fountains.

Las Vegas was the site of the world's first Nobu hotel (there are several others around the world now) in 2013. The Nobu Hotel Las Vegas is part of Caesars Palace and is the former Centurion Tower.
Nobu is home to only 181 of the 4,000 rooms found at Caesars Palace Resort and features an Asian influenced theme and style with low to the ground furnishings, sleek surfaces, dark woods and leathers, and carpeting that looks as though you're walking through a zen garden. Nobu restaurant also offers 24-hour service, and each guest is provided complimentary tea service following check-in.
Tropicana may be one of the most iconic, and oldest, hotels on Las Vegas Boulevard, but the hotel recently underwent a $165 million renovation in 2017. The property was modernized with 1,467 rooms now eco-friendly and decorated in a Southern Miami Beach style.
They also stayed true to their reputation of having some of the best pools with the addition of the Sky Beach Club LV which recreates the iconic South Florida beach club vibe.
Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas featuring rooms with balconies.
The Cosmopolitan was built in 2010 but remains one of the most famous hotels on the Las Vegas strip named in 2015 as one of the Top Hotels in the World by Conde Nast Traveller.
The luxury hotel and casino is comprised of two towers and found just south of Bellagio. There are 3000 luxury rooms total and a state-of-the-art fitness center and spa, 150,000 square feet of convention and meeting space, and 300,000 square feet of dining and retail.
The famous Marquee Nightclub and Dayclub are also found at Cosmopolitan, and a brand new nightclub was opened in 2014 called Rose. Rabbit. Lie.
This large hotel encompasses 1.6 million square feet and is a condo-hotel and spa located across the strip from Aria Resort and Casino. The enormous complex was opened in 2009 and features tower houses, 1,495 luxury suites, a two-story spa and a 40,000 square foot pool. There is no casino at Vdara, and the entire hotel is smoke-free. Vdara is unique in that artwork is incorporated into its design and aesthetic. Market Café Vdara opened in 2011.

Code for KC Learn Nights kick off with Eric Roche
by Stacy Griffith | Apr 12, 2018 | Government Innovation
Eric Roche, Chief Data Officer for KCMO and Code for KC Core Team member, spoke at Code for KC's Learn Night on February 29, 2018. The work done by the analysts in the Office of Performance Management where Eric works has earned Kansas City a Silver Certification awarded by What Works Cities.
Eric's presentation covered three data-driven approaches the city uses to monitor and improve city services: KC Stat, Resident Survey, and Open Data KC.
Code for KC Learn Night 2/19/18: Eric Roche, Chief Data Officer | KCMO from KC Digital Drive
KC Stat
KC Stat is the answer to making transparent, regular, and publicly accessible updates on the citywide business plan. It's a service unique to Kansas City, combining data, public officials and subject matter experts in both a monthly meeting as well as the KC Stat Dashboard. The meeting is open to attend, live-tweeted and televised. The Dashboard is a detailed view of progress towards goals set for the citywide business plan.
KC Stat allows analysts to test assumptions about city performance factors. Eric provided an example about valuing housing in Kansas City. The city's Market Value Analysis (MVA) shows where affordable, quality housing is located throughout the city, but isn't a policy on how to maintain that residential value and reduce code violations. A common assumption was that code violations would be higher in neighborhoods with more renters occupying housing but statistical analysis reveals this is not true. Surprisingly, the most code violations occur in areas with a 50/50 mix of residents that are owners and renters. Now the city's job is to find out why. These are the insights that allow the city office to create more effective policy.
Resident Survey
The Citizen Satisfaction Survey is run in partnership with the local research firm ETC, and it collects resident feedback about city services. The survey is run quarterly, instead of annually, allowing the city to be more responsive. It has higher response rate with and lower response bias, and encompasses a variety of topics including housing quality and affordability, quality of streets, opinion of the streetcar, and social mobility and equity.
Eric highlighted an example that in a recent survey the highest priority identified for residents, was infrastructure improvement, specifically dangerous building demolition. The city proposed taking out two bonds to speed up infrastructure improvements and demolitions, $800M and $10M respectively. Residents overwhelmingly approved. Roche reported that nearly all of the identified buildings have now been destroyed. View the buildings on the demolition list.
OpenData KC
"Our data is your data." Eric's first slide is the perfect summary of OpenData KC, which is guided by the idea that everyone should have access to this data as long as privacy is protected. OpenData KC has over 200 datasets and over 250 maps, providing raw data which can be exported in multiple formats.
Eric's top 5 datasets
311 Call Center Service Requests – This is the richest data set, making it a best choice for practicing analysis.
Property Violations – Lists every code violation recorded in the city since 2006.
Dangerous Buildings List
Parcel Data – property ownership information and property lines for all four counties, This dataset is nice for tying other datasets together due to the unique information and frequent use.
Market Value Analysis – Good information for community groups & targeting programs

Azerbaijan to supply hazelnuts to Spain
Special interest is paid to a stand of Azerbaijan at the Gulfood 2017 exhibition which is being held in Dubai, the Azerbaijani Economy Ministry said in a message March 2.
As a result of the talks conducted between representatives of Azerbaijani and Spanish companies as part of the exhibition, one of Azerbaijani companies has already received an order to supply 128 tons of hazelnuts to the Spanish city of Valencia, the ministry said.
Trend reports citing the ministry that the representatives of Azerbaijani companies also met with Saudi Arabian businessmen as part of the exhibition.
During the meeting, the talks were held to export Azerbaijani meat and meat products to Saudi Arabia, the ministry said.
According to the message, the issue of establishing the Azerbaijani-Saudi Arabian joint ventures was also discussed at the meeting.
An agreement was made as part of the meetings to supply Azerbaijani pomegranate juice to Kuwait and the country's milk powder products to Dubai, the ministry said.
According to the Azerbaijani State Customs Committee, the trade turnover between Azerbaijan and Spain amounted to $39.25 million in January 2017, which is by 13.3 times more compared to January 2016. Thus, $35.8 million of that amount accounted for the export of Azerbaijani goods to Spain.

Passionate student performances, an enthusiastic audience, and a tough decision for the judges made this year's Asian Finals an exciting event that does not rank behind the European Finals. The winning team even entertained us with their school shout-out, and the huge group of supporters from all schools celebrated their teams.
The winning team comes once more from the Singapore Chinese Girls' School (SCGS). Cheryl Ang, Hannah Lui, Manizah Huq, Priscilla Khong, Samantha Lau, and Vera Yeh plan to supply restaurants in Singapore with a waste disposal system based on the natural process of anaerobic digestion. During this process, the waste is transformed into biogas which is then channeled into the electricity grid. This technique has a proven track record all around the world, e.g., in India, China, and in European countries. The difference to the existing centralized models is that the students plan a decentralized solution which they proved to be more efficient, financially viable for all parties involved, and easier to put into practice. With this innovative business idea, SCGS's "NewEnergy" team impressed not only their teachers, but also the judges.
Judge Julie Mathis, Vice President Finance, Worldwide Procurement, Dell Computers, complimented the winning team on their demonstration of teamwork: The six youngsters fielded the questions of the Q&A according to their individual product and industry knowledge. Fellow judges also praised the other three teams during the competition feedback session for presentation skills that showed maturity beyond their years and concepts that could be competitive in the real world.
"From my personal experience, having seen several final eliminations in Europe, I am impressed by the level the schools in Singapore reached within just four years of business@school," says Julian Giessing, a former participant from Europe who had jumped at the chance to witness this year's business@school Asian Finals in his Report from Singapure. "I would love to once see the students from Asia competing with the finalists in Europe. But we should better brace ourselves for this tough competition … and keep in mind: These guys are just 15 to 16 years old."

Home Culture Media MP: IRIB's push for a certain faction's agenda will boomerang
MP: IRIB's push for a certain faction's agenda will boomerang
An Iranian MP has said that IRIB's efforts to advance the agenda of one political group in the lead-up to the upcoming elections will backfire.
The spokesman for the Followers of the Leader [Rahrovan-e Velayat], a principlist caucus in the Islamic Consultative Assembly, has announced that the president of Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) will attend a meeting of the caucus' central council on Sunday.
Safar Naimi Raz made the announcement on Saturday and added that the meeting will discuss the faults the Iranian MPs have found with the national broadcaster's performance, especially its coverage of news on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
Khabaronline.ir on October 31 published a report on the announcement which includes remarks by another MP on IRIB's performance and the need for its impartiality in the buildup to the upcoming parliamentary elections. What comes below is the translation of the report followed by an Iran Front Page note:
Abbas Ali Mansouri Arani, a member of parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, stressed the need for the neutrality of the national broadcaster in the elections and said, "When IRIB takes a factional line, its decision will have an adverse result. The national medium should look at society in its entirety. It is expected to help people gain an insight, serve as a university which raises awareness [in society], and reflect different viewpoints.
"IRIB is also expected to adopt a standard approach and a regulated framework for the elections which are applicable to all people. When a piece of law which applies to everybody is enforced, dissatisfaction will reach the bottom of the barrel."
Mansouri Arani further said, "Iranian people perfectly understand that IRIB is trampling upon their rights, that's why they show opposition. What IRIB is doing [its unqualified support for a special political faction] will certainly backfire. The broadcaster has so far failed to achieve its intended result."
The MP who represents Kashan in parliament went on to say, "Suppose there are five factions in our society. People see one, out of five factions, highlighted on TV. They would feel that the other four factions have been treated unfairly. Consequently, people help those [four] factions and cast their ballots for them, because the Iranian people are anti-injustice and always stand by the side which has been treated unjustly.
"If they sense it [IRIB's biased support for one faction in the run-up to the 2016 elections], no doubt, they will definitely rally around the one who's been subjected to injustice.
"By the same token, if IRIB continues this trend, it will make losses, so will the groups affiliated with the national broadcaster. The best option for IRIB is to pursue policies within a logical and fair framework."
IFP note:
The biased performance of Iran's state-run radio and TV organization in recent days has drawn strong reactions from certain political factions, even senior religious figures such as Ayatollah Nasser Makarem Shirazi, a top Shiite cleric based in Qom.
A few days ago the vice-president and director of the Environment Protection Organization wrote a letter to the IRIB president and lashed out at the way news on her organization is covered by the national broadcaster and accused IRIB of fueling [public] discontent with the Rouhani administration.
At the end of her letter to Mohammad Sarafraz, Masoumeh Ebtekar warned that IRIB is plunging into the trap of partisan bias and is turning into the mouthpiece of the Stability Front (a branch of the principlist front which lent all-out support to the previous government led by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and virtually distanced itself from other political groups in the country).
Amid growing protest by political and religious figures [against IRIB], the news spread that parliament has summoned the IRIB chief over his organization's performance. The Iranian parliament acted on a proposal initiated by its most powerful caucus which helped the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action clear the Islamic Consultative Assembly and proved its sympathy and like-mindedness with the moderate government of President Hassan Rouhani.
This indicates that the scope of dissatisfaction with the showing of the country's radio and television organization has gone too far and such dissatisfaction is most likely to compel IRIB to rethink its political stances.

Robert Harris goes behind the scenes of Papal politics in Conclave
If you think the U.S. presidential election has been a nail biter, wait till you hear about what happens behind the scenes in Rome when electing a new pope. Writer Robert Harris explains the peculiar politics of picking a pope in his novel, Conclave.

Read story transcript
"For me, an election is a living narrative," says Robert Harris.
The historian and journalists' new novel, Conclave looks at the one of the most secret ballots in the world, the election of a Pope in the seclusion of the Sistine Chapel.

"I came to have a lot of respect for the Catholic Church," he tells The Current's Anna Maria Tremonti.
After thorough research for this book, he says "it's a clever way to pick a leader."
"They know each other's strengths and weaknesses. I can see why it's served the Church well."
Harris has always grounded his fiction in fact but says "all my writing has to have some link to reality."
"I either take a real event, or real people, or a real life ritual, such as this and I try to get it as accurate as I can."
When asked whether he sees parallels between his historical novels of the past and the U.S. election, Harris says "reality is unimprovable."
"I mean who could come up with a character like Trump, or come up with a woman like Hillary Clinton who just seems to be surrounded by these errant males."
Novelist Robert Harris says from an historical standpoint the U.S. election and world politics reflects a 1930s vibe. (Getty Images)
Harris tells Tremonti that world politics at the moment reflects a 1930's vibe — "in Europe with Brexit, and the rise of the far right, and in America with this extraordinary election."
"For the first time in my adult life, I feel the ground shifting under me."
Harris even sees potential similarities with the U.S. election and the end of the Roman Republic.
"We've grown up in an era where someone is pronounced a winner, the loser graciously concedes, and society goes on," he says.
"That didn't happen in the Roman Republic towards the end, and one starts to wonder whether that will happen in the American Republic."

In online collaboration, instead of the objective strength of social relationship, recent study reveals that the two participants can have different subjective opinions on the relationship between them, and the opinion can be investigated with their interactive language on this relationship. However, two participants' bidirectional opinions in collaboration is not only determined by their interaction on this relationship, but also influenced by the adjacent third-party partners. In this work, we define the two participants' opinions as the subjective strength of their relationship. To measure the bidirectional subjective strength of a social relationship, we propose a computational model synthetizing the features from participants' interactive language and the adjacent balance in social network. Experimental results on real collaboration in Enron email dataset verify the effectiveness of the proposed model.

Q: Orthogonal regressors in linear regression model I am having trouble with proving one fact, which was left as an exercise on my statistics course:
in linear regression model if $X \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times p}$ is regressors matrix and is orthogonal($X^TX = I_{p}$) then
$$\hat{\beta}_i = corr(x_{.i}, \text{ }y)\cdot ||y - \overline{y}\times 1_n||, \text{for $i = 2, \dotsc$}, p, $$
where $\hat \beta_i$ is coordinate number $i$ of the least squares estimator, $x_{.i}$ is the column number $i$ of X, $y$ is the dependent variable and $1_n$ is the column vector of ones of length $n$.
My attempt was to center $y$(let it be $y_C = y - \overline{y}\times 1_n$), which will only change the intercept($\hat \beta_1$), then $\hat \beta = (X^TX)^{-1}X^Ty_C = X^Ty_C$. Then $corr(x_{.i}, \text{ }y)$ is $cos$ of the angle between centered $x_{.i}$ and $y_C$, so
$$<x_{.i} - \overline{x_{.i}}, y_C> = ||x_{.i} - \overline{x_{.i}}||\cdot||y_C||\cdot corr(x_{.i}, \text{ }y).$$
Also $<x_{.i} - \overline{x_{.i}}, y_C> = <x_{.i}, y_C> = (X^Ty_C)_i$, so basically I get pretty much the same equation as I should have got, but it also has $||x_{.i} - \overline{x_{.i}}||$ multiplier in it. $||x_{.i} - \overline{x_{.i}}||$ would be equal to $1$ if $\overline{x_{.i}}$ was equal to $0$, but there is nothing said about it in lecture notes. I need someone with fresh eye to look at my solution and notice the error.

Strategic Agreement to Build the First Commercial Bulk Liquid Storage Terminal in Abu Dhabi
Maritime NewsPorts
By Maritime News	 On Mar 25, 2020
Abu Dhabi Ports has signed a strategic agreement with Saudi Arabia based Arabian Chemical Terminals (ACT) that will see the development of the emirate's first greenfield commercial bulk liquid storage terminal at its flagship, deep-water Khalifa Port.
Further diversifying Abu Dhabi Ports' portfolio with enhanced capabilities in the handling of liquid bulk products and gases, the project will benefit existing customers and attract new customers in the region seeking liquid bulk storage.
Serving as the first terminal to be developed by ACT in the UAE and specifically in Abu Dhabi, the facility's strategic location and advanced facilities, which will deliver world-class logistics and industrial services, is expected to appeal to ACT's current clientele that includes some of the world's largest oil and gas firms. Both new and existing customers will be able to take advantage of Khalifa Port's strategic location combined with its improved maritime, logistics, and industrial capabilities
The agreement for the bulk liquid terminal, which will be developed on a 50,000 square metre land plot adjacent to a 16 metre deep-water quay access, with option for an additional 150,000 square metres of land, was signed by Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, Group CEO of Abu Dhabi Ports and Rakan Alireza, Managing Director of Arabian Chemical Terminals Ltd and Deputy Managing Director of Reza Investment Company Ltd.
As per the agreement, the project is set to be completed in two phases with the first stage slated for commissioning in the second half of 2022 entailing the deployment of 44 storage tanks sized 1250 and 3000 tonnes each. The terminal's second phase will commence following expansion of the surrounding area and will consist of a number of larger industrial storage tanks and spheres.
Upon completion, the facility will be able to handle a number of liquid bulk products. Broadening the range of capabilities and value offering for Abu Dhabi Ports' clients, the new bulk liquid storage terminal at Khalifa Port will provide customers with the opportunity to reduce their costs of outsourcing their liquid and gas expenditures.
Both new and existing customers will be able to take advantage of Khalifa Port's strategic location combined with its improved maritime, logistics, and industrial capabilities.
Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, Group CEO of Abu Dhabi Ports, said: "Providing technology-rich, end-to-end logistics solutions for customers of all sizes and industries is at the core of Abu Dhabi Ports' diversification strategy.
"Working closely with ACT, we are pleased to now offer a comprehensive suite of integrated logistics solutions that are powered by the most advanced technologies available in the market".
Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, Group CEO of Abu Dhabi Ports and Rakan Alireza, Managing Director of Arabian Chemical Terminals Ltd and Deputy Managing Director of Reza Investment Company Ltd, sign the strategic agreement to develop emirate's first greenfield commercial bulk liquid storage terminal at Khalifa Port.
Rakan Alireza, Managing Director of Arabian Chemical Terminals Ltd and Deputy Managing Director of Reza Investment Company Ltd. said:"We're excited to be spearheading the development of our first commercial tank farm in the UAE, here in Abu Dhabi, as we previously pioneered in KSA.
"Located between Abu Dhabi, Ruwais, and Dubai industries, the new liquid terminal will not only prosper as a result of its strategic location, but will be further bolstered by Khalifa Port's multi-modal connectivity with access to the sea and UAE's extensive road and future GCC railway network.
"In addition to supporting our overseas expansion strategy, the project will also provide the foundation for other potential terminal activities within the emirate of Abu Dhabi."
Beyond the development of the bulk liquid terminal, ACT is exploring different opportunities to expand its service offering at Khalifa Port and its surrounding environment. This expansion includes the facilitation of fuel bunker services for port customers, drumming and ISO filling services, the development of an independent laboratory, realisation of MARPOL slops reception facilities, ADR qualified trucking and distribution services, as well as offering stevedoring services that will support other liquid product custody transfers.
ACT is also considering new avenues to support KIZAD and its clients, such as providing them with feedstock offerings or assistance in selling their yields, in addition to cooperating with the industrial zone to develop warehouses for both dry and liquid goods.

Mindy Kaling Announces 'The Mindy Project' Now On Netflix With Mini-Fashion Show
Home / Entertainment / Mindy Kaling Announces 'The Mindy Project' Now On Netflix With Mini-Fashion Show
by Melanie VanDerveer Posted on January 4, 2023 at 2:00 pm
Mindy Kaling took to Instagram to make a video announcement about her popular show "The Mindy Project." While sharing her exciting news, Kaling, known for her fashionista side, showed off many of her colorful dresses.
Mindy Kaling Fashionably Announces "The Mindy Project" Is Now On Netflix
Mindy Kaling – Instagram
"Guys, it's Mindy Kaling. I have incredible news," she begins the video while wearing a colorful, vibrant dress. "It's about a character near and dear to my heart."
She continues talking about her big news with constant wardrobe changes. "I don't know how to describe her. except as kind of an unhinged gynecologist," she continued. "She loved romantic comedies, her patients, laying on the floor drinking wine from a bra. She was a lot of things, but that b—h knew how to dress."
Of course, at this point in the video, her fans know she's talking about Dr. Mindy Lahiri in "The Mindy Project." "Mindy Lahiri is now on Netflix. Stream all six seasons of 'The Mindy Project' starting now," she concluded the video.
A post shared by Golden (@netflixgolden)
While many of Kaling's fans thought the announcement was going to be about a reboot of the popular show, the news was exciting to her followers. The show premiered in September 2012 and completed its six-season run on Hulu in November 2017, and many left comments on her post about wanting more.
One fan wrote, "I got excited and thought the show was getting a reboot 😢," and more than 1,000 people liked that thought. Another fan added, "For a second I thought the show was coming back," and that comment also got more than 1,000 likes.
Another fan suggested, "Omg yayyyy!! But now we need new seasons plsss! One of the best shows for female empowerment. Please please pleaseeeee a little reboot with baby Leo all grown up😁"
"The Mindy Project" Celebrated It's 10 Year Anniversary In September
Kaling posted some clips and photos on Instagram from "The Mindy Project" in September to celebrate the show's 10th anniversary. "I love this show so much. The cast, crew and writers room remain some of my favorite and most important people in my life today," she began a caption of a video clip from the show. "I wanted to play a woman who was basically a good person, but also very insane, and had tons of stuff she needed to work on."
Her caption continued to explain how she envisioned the show to be. "Coming from The Office, I wanted the show to be packed with jokes, but also, like You've Got Mail or When Harry Met Sally, really romantic and made you want to live in New York City," she explained. "In addition, I wanted to wear head-to-toe amazing designer fits even though I wasn't (and still am not) a size 2. I think we accomplished that! It will always be the most fun six years (117 episodes!) of my life! I'll be sharing some of my favorite moments and scenes all week long!"
A post shared by Mindy Kaling (@mindykaling)
In another post about the show, she explains how fashion often took center stage. "Fashion was a huge part of The Mindy Project. I wanted Mindy Lahiri to look fabulous and eye-catching (subtlety was not her vibe lol)," she explained. "Of all her personality flaws, feeling insecure about her body was never one of her issues, and I wanted our show to communicate that stylishness transcended size."
The actress/writer/producer also explained how costume fittings sometimes took hours and that she always looked forward to them. The caption was to a carousel of 10 of Kaling's favorite outfits from the show.

Statistical Accounts of Scotland for genealogy
Posted by Allan Angus on Feb 28, 2012 in Genealogy Research | 0 comments
Home » Genealogy Research » Statistical Accounts of Scotland for genealogy
The Higland emigrants monument
Perhaps you are looking for a more "intimate" view of what life was like for your Scottish ancestors. Whether they lived in the Highlands or the Lowlands, look no further than the Statistical Accounts of Scotland. While the Wikipedia article gives some background on their history, there is nothing quite like just starting to read these volumes. Honestly, the Statistical Accounts of Scotland for genealogy information are amazing sources.
With just an exception or two, one is unlikely to encounter one's family by name unless you've descended from the landed nobility of Scotland. If you, like I, have descended instead from the lower classes, you will simply see your family recorded in various tables of servants or farmworkers or fishermen or what have you. Nonetheless, these volumes give an uncanny reckoning of the life of the people, back in the day. We learn, for example, that entire counties were held in the hands of a few, largely noble, landowners. Everyone else was either a tenant owing rent to the lord or simply a day-laborer owning little more than the clothes on their backs and possibly the tools of their trade.
As recently as 1834 (the year of the second Statistical Account), rents paid to various nobles are referred to as feu-duty, which was a form of ground rent on property. This term, feu, is a Scot's form of the word, fee, going back as it does to notions of feudalism. What is perhaps even more amazing is that this form of rent to a lord was only abolished in Scotland in 2000.
Until 1832, the right to vote in the United Kingdom was extremely limited being vested only in landowners whose property was valued at over 40 shillings, this rule going back 400 years to 1432. In 1832, a Reform Act passed that allowed the vote to adult males who rented property over a given value at which point 1 in 7 men in the UK could vote. Before 1707, Scotland had its own parliament; but in that year, Scotland united with England and there was thereafter only a parliament of Great Britain. So, in the mid-1800s, only a relatively few male Scots had the vote, and their representatives attended a distant, and predominantly English, parliament.
The first Account was published around 1791, 45 years after the second Jacobite rising had been quelled. The economy of the shires was predominantly agricultural, almost feudal. Most of the parishes described in the Accounts of either 1791 or 1835 have a total population of less than 5,000. Outside of fishermen, some government officials, and the clergy, and the occasional alehouse or distillery, uniformly everyone else is engaged in agriculture. To some extent, one might even argue that the brewers and distillers are simply an extension of local agriculture, malting and fermenting the local barley. Movement out of one's class position would have been nearly impossible unless one either left for a large city or decamped to America or Australia. However, the 1803 Passenger Vessels Act made the cost of leaving the UK £10 per person, which was prohibitive for any poor family. This amount is roughly equivalent to $2,000 at present. At the time, this would be roughly worth 4 or 5 years wages of unskilled labor.
The solution for anyone desiring to leave Scotland and didn't have the equivalent of a few thousand dollars in today's money was to become an indentured servant to a ship's captain, on his way to America. Upon arrival, the captain would sell the indenture to anyone looking for servants. A typical price paid would be £15, the captain making a profit on the transport of the individuals. Such servants would receive no pay during the term of their indenture to their new effective owners, but would be housed, clothed and fed. In spite of the conditions of indenture, the Statistical Accounts for many parishes show a reduction in population by 1835 due to emigration in this way. This implies some Scot, male or female, finding their way to a port city like London, finding a ship on its way to America, signing an indenture to the captain, lasting the 6-month voyage, being effectively sold at auction upon landing, and then working out their indenture for 3 years or more. If this process was extensive enough to put a dint into the population growth of much of Scotland, one can only imagine that the conditions of remaining must have been seen by many as no better than the conditions of leaving. At least you were free after you'd worked off the instrument of indenture. Mind you, if you were a women who became pregnant during your term of indenture, you'd have another 2 years tagged on. About the only legal distinction between indenture and slavery was that indenture had a fixed term.
Another dynamic in this emigration was the Highland Clearances and the Lowland Clearances. My own family is from Banffshire way up in NE Scotland, and the parishes here appear to have been immune to much of these problems, at least until the predations of WWI and the influenza epidemic of 1918. Scottish casualties in WWI were double those of the English (20% versus 10%). The 1918 flu pandemic was a further tipping point. My grandfather's family album showed many of his relations in uniform, lost at war. His first wife perished in the flu pandemic. My father was a child of my grandfather's second wife; and they left Scotland in 1926, relatively late in a process that began nearly 300 years earlier.
The population of Scotland in 2001 was around 4,500,000. In the same year, the population of the United States that reported Scottish ancestry is over 9,400,000 while that of Canada was about 4,700,000 and that of Australia was 1,500,000. Considering that the total population of Canada is about 1/10th that of the US, the proportion of Scots there is much more significant. But the total population of the US, Canada and Australia with Scottish ancestry is over three times that of Scotland itself. Looking back over the Statistical Accounts of Scotland, and speaking as just one voice for those who left, it is hard to argue against the choices of our ancestors to come to America, Canada, or Australia (to the extent that they had a choice).
So, if you were writing a family history, and assuming that your Scottish ancestors left during any of these troubled times from about 1700 onwards, you will likely find valuable and detailed information about the geography, climate, economy, population, flora and fauna, and history of the part of Scotland that your ancestors came from. But don't stop there. Read on, MacDuff, read about the neighboring parishes to get a broad sense of how this place worked back in the day. Then look up and around you, and consider the hardships they went through in order to get you to wherever you are now. And thank them.

Q: Multiple filters for arrays - Typescript I have 3 arrays. I want to return the elements in array1 distinct from array2 and array3.
Example:
array1: ["Peter", "James", "JohnDoe", "Jackie"]
array2: ["James", "Dog"]
array3: ["JohnDoe", "Cat"]

Output: ["Peter", "Jackie"]

Here is my code snippet of filtering array2 out of array1.
  const array1, array2, array3;

  const result = array1.filter(
    element=> !array2.some(ele => element.id === ele.id)
  );
// Output: ["Peter", "JohnDoe", "Jackie"]

I can think of creating another const for filtering array3, but is there a better/elegant way to attach the filters together(in one statement)? Thank you!

A: You can solve it like this. Just add an && secondCondition. I also took away the id accessors since the code didn't work with the examples you provided

const array1 = ["Peter", "James", "JohnDoe", "Jackie"]
const array2 = ["James", "Dog"]
const array3 = ["JohnDoe", "Cat"]

const result = array1.filter(
  element => !array2.some(ele => element === ele) && !array3.some(ele => element === ele)
);

console.log(result)


I remember loving Charlotte's Web as a child. I truly adore reading E.B. White. His simple style just flows out so smooth and steady, creating an easy and enjoyable read.
As I was reading Charlotte's Web aloud to my 7 and 9 year old, I knew the chapter where Charlotte dies was coming. I worried that it might be upsetting to my animal-loving children and seeing me cry would make them start crying and we would have a cryfest and never get to the end of the book. As I approached the chapter, I steeled myself. Then, I reach the paragraph and start to tear up. Hold it together. As I'm reading about Charlotte dying, I start to struggle with my words, slowing the pace, trying to just get through it.
My 9 year old looks up and asks, "Are you crying?"
I reply, "Yes. It's so very sad. Charlotte was such a good friend and spider."
My 7 year old daughter then takes the book from me and takes over reading for me; reading the next two chapters with complete composure. After we finish the book, we watch the movie during lunch to compare the two. When she dies in the movie, my 9 year old checks on me to see if I'm crying. I'm thinking, how on earth am I going to get through all of these children's books that seem designed to make you cry?!? I guess we all better get used to it because we have so many books to read!
Upon finishing, my daughter asked if she could take the book up to her room to read again on her own. Of course you can, I know you'll love it as much as I did.

Q: How can I find my Minecraft level? I have figured out that (on a MacBook) I have to use the FN and F3 keys to get the F3 feature, and that that is how to find your level. However, I cannot find my level and I have been searching a while. Anyone using a Macbook pro that can help me?

A: You can find your level here:

Rest in Peace, Mrs Poffo
What's the story?
Judy Poffo, the mother of Lanny Poffo and the late Macho Man Randy Savage, has passed away at the age of 90. Lanny took to Twitter to inform the world about the passing of his mother.
My wonderful mother died tonight at the age of 90. pic.twitter.com/FxIOyhaWr4

In case you didn't know...
Judy Poffo met her husband, wrestling legend Angelo Poffo, at DePaul University, and the two married on June 6, 1949. The Poffos had two children who both became professional wrestlers; Lanny Poffo, known for his time as The Genius and Leaping Lanny, and Randy Poffo, known to the wrestling community as Macho Man Randy Savage.
Angelo Poffo passed away in 2010 at the age of 84 in Sarasota, Florida. Randy Savage passed away a year later May 20, 2011, in Seminole, Florida, 4 years later, he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
According to a previous interview by Lanny with WrestleZone, Judy took the death of her husband and eldest son very hard; in fact, Lanny sold the house and moved in with her.
She also was upset that Randy Savage was inducted by himself as opposed to his wish of seeing the entire Poffo family inducted at the same time. However, Lanny said he decided to go against Randy's wishes so the fans could see Macho Man take his rightful place in the WWE Hall of Fame.
Many wrestlers, former and current, reached out to Lanny on Twitter to express their condolences.

Please don't act like the moderator, just report the post to us instead and we can go about doing something about it.
The ghost of maidens's peak, Pikachu's good-bye, go west young meowth, Tower of Terror, A Better Pill to Swallow and of course Electric Soldier Porygon.
The one with the Spiritomb is also really good, love it.
That one is the one ACW mentioned-"The keystone Pops"
Mine is either "The School Of Hard Knocks" or "Princess Vs. Princess".
The School Of Hard Knocks cause its funny when Pikachu is on the threadmill and falls off and kicks it.
Princess Vs. Princess is when we see Jesse from Team Rocket having a new pokemon which is Lickitung (sp?).
The one where as has to battle koga, he keeps running into the invisible wall.
I'm a sentimental fool for the original series and this was easily one of the best episodes for me.
Edit: also the episode where they find that ghost ninetales and it makes lots of illusions.
Electric Soldier Porygon is actually an awesome episode even ignoring all the seizure drama. It's a shame it never got dubbed and an even bigger shame that we never saw Porygon again. I personally have a gut feeling that there were some big plans for Porygon in the whole lore of Pokemon both game and anime but ever since Electric Soldier aired and caused all the trouble it was just too controversial to really bring up again.
I've always liked Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden and Sparks Fly for Magnemite, that's all I can think of right now. There are too many from Johto to mention, pretty much all of the original series before Advanced Generation was good, everything had a really nice natural vibe to it.


Specialty coffee is coffee made from remarkable beans grown just in perfect coffee-producing climates. The distinct characteristics of the soil where the coffee plants are grown integrated with the perfect environment develops distinct tastes that makes specialty coffee beans so in-demand. For this reason, they are often referred to as gourmet or premium coffee.
The initial person to ever use the expression "specialized coffee" was Erna Knutsen, who created the term in the 1974 issue of the Tea & & Coffee Trade Journal. Knutsen, then a coffee buyer for B.C. Ireland in San Francisco, developed the term while trying to describe beans with outstanding tastes due to the special microclimates utilized in their cultivation. From then on, the phrase became a typical term utilized to describe tasty, high quality coffee. However it was not up until the late 1990s, when the expansion of coffee shops and premium coffee sellers, that the term specialty was regularly used. That, integrated with the ever increasing appeal of coffee drinking has made specialized coffee among the fastest growing food service markets worldwide. In 2004, specialized coffee netted an approximated $9.6 billion in the United States alone.
For the easy factor that a cup of specialty coffee tastes considerably better than a cup made kind regular coffee beans. From the time the coffee plant was cultivated to the time they are harvested, dried, and roasted, specialized coffee beans are prepared according to precise requirements to guarantee excellent tasting coffee. Exactly what's more, specialty coffee should pass rigid certification process to guarantee that it is without defects and imperfections, in a test called the "cupping method.
The steps associated with cupping specialty coffee are frequently extremely exact and is actually a step by action procedure. That is why buyers, owners of specialty coffee homes, and makers work with just trained people to do their cupping for them.

"ANGRY" Comedian Bill Burr Hits Back At Influencers Blaming Friend Bob Saget's Death On The Vaccine; Calls Them Morons!
by Wayne DupreeJanuary 14, 2022
Comedian Bill Burr slammed the "morons" who claimed that his buddy and comedian Bob Saget died as a result of the Covid-19 vaccine's effects, calling them "fools."
"Oh my God, screw it. This has been a dreadful week. We are still reeling over the loss of Bob Saget, as Burr noted on his podcast Monday Morning: "What a horrible week." As a matter of fact, it's almost unbearable. I can't believe it. Truly horrific."
That's when the presenter went on to take aim at those he characterized as "morons" for comparing the death of the late comic to that of Betty White.
In response to those who claimed White and Saget died after getting their Covid-19 booster injections, he said, "The amount of foolish things that people are saying."
To date, Candace Owens has been the most vocal critic of vaccine safety, claiming that Saget's death was directly related to his lack of a flu shot.
Too many healthy people, like Bob Saget, who we know had their immunizations, are suddenly and unexpectedly dying, according to Owens on her online talk program. Students and athletes in their peak physical condition, mostly men, have died abruptly and unexpectedly during sporting events due to cardiac problems. These folks are being forced to get the vaccination," we can say with certainty.
According to Burr, anti-vaxxers owe their "being" to modern medicine, which kept their parents alive so that they could "fuck and then create them so that they can go on the internet and voice their beliefs."
I don't agree with Owens, who is not a doctor to publicly come to the conclusion that the vaccine was the reason for Saget's death so that's irresponsible. Burr, even as Saget was his friend, I feel, needs to bring it down a notch.
As someone who attended to summer school nearly every year stated, "Fucking morons, you know, and this is coming from someone who went to summer school almost every year." "Somebody gets furious about something and comes up with this angle of fucking horseshit and these people just, they just go with it."
A "wonderful, incredible skill" was mocked by the comic as he continued to make fun of those on the internet who claim to know what deceased comedians are thinking.
This is exactly what George Carlin would be thinking about me right now, someone wrote to me," Burr joked after explaining his decision to follow "the mainstream" on Covid-19. Is this what Abraham Lincoln would have been thinking at this point in time? Can you do presidents, as well? … How about dead presidents, or are you limited to comedic roles?

Why your practice sessions aren't working
Improve your practice sessions to improve your game with these tips from Sean Foley.
(golf club whacks)
So, let me give you an example
of a better way to practice.
Rather than just sitting here on the range
and taking every single one of these balls
and just hitting them over and over
and over with really no intention,
let's use the power of intention
to imagine when we're here, we have to hit
the first shot into the second green.
We have to hit the second shot
into the fourth green and use these balls
to lay down the memory of executing
that shot successfully so that, when we get
out to the course, we've already been there.
So, this is the shot that I'm visualizing on the range.
Knowing that everything in golf doesn't
work out the way you want it to,
you're going to be forced to have to play
a lot of shots that you may not play that often.
The beauty of the mind is that, basically,
contemplation is the highest form of activity mentally.
So, we've seen case studies done in
science where there was a guy shooting free throws
and guys visualizing themselves shooting free throws.
Two weeks later, they shot at a
higher rate than they had before.
So, just using our mind's eye and using
imagery and using visualization doesn't mean that
we physically have to be doing the skill.
Just the contemplation, visualization,
and using creative guided imagery
is going to help us to lay down the memory
networks that we need to be able to pull off
these shots when we're given the opportunity.

Home	Investing News	US climate envoy Kerry says China, India, Russia must do more to tackle warming
US climate envoy Kerry says China, India, Russia must do more to tackle warming
Commodities54 minutes ago (Dec 01, 2021 04:11PM ET)
(C) Reuters. FILE PHOTO: John Kerry, U.S. President-elect Joe Biden's special presidential envoy for climate appointee, speaks as President-elect Biden announces his national security nominees and appointees at his transition headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, U.S.
By Katy Daigle
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. climate envoy John Kerry said on Wednesday that big greenhouse gas emitting countries like China, India, Russia and others must move faster to help the world avert the worst impacts of global warming.
Pledges by governments to cut carbon dioxide and methane emissions are currently insufficient to limit global warming to an international target of 1.5C above pre-industrial levels this century, he said.
"And that means you have China, India, Russia, Brazil, Mexico, Indonesia, South Africa, a group of countries that are going to have to step up," Kerry said in an interview at the Reuters Next conference.
"And we have to help them. This is not just unloaded responsibility on them."
Kerry said Washington was engaging with some of these developing countries to help them accelerate a transition to cleaner forms of energy and reduce emissions.
He pointed to U.S. support for India's clean energy initiatives, as well as a joint agreement the United States secured with China, the world's top greenhouse gas emitter, last month in which Beijing committed to accelerating emissions cuts.
Developing nations have been resisting calls to rapidly phase-out fossil fuels like coal, arguing they are still needed for economic growth.
These governments say they lack the financial support required to transition to cleaner energy. And they point out that wealthy nations responsible for the bulk of historical emissions have been able to rely on these high-carbon fuels for more than a century.
Kerry told Reuters that private investment in clean-energy technologies – including green hydrogen, long-term battery storage, modular nuclear reactors and carbon capture – was also crucial to addressing climate change.
"No government on the planet has enough money to effect this transition … But, the private sector does have that money. I believe the private sector has the ability to win this battle for us," he said.
He said companies that are first to the market with technological breakthroughs should be able to benefit financially through patents.
Intellectual property has been a controversial issue for developing nations keen to keep down the costs of transitioning from fossil fuels.
World governments agreed last month during a climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland, to revisit their national emission-cutting pledges in 2022 to help ensure the world can meet the 1.5C target set by the Paris Agreement in 2015.
Scientists have warned crossing that threshold could unleash catastrophic climate impacts from sea level rise to more frequent powerful storms, droughts and floods.
Kerry said he was worried whether countries and private entities would meet the challenge.
"This is an enormous lift – to do what we have to do," he said. But he added: "This is doable. It doesn't have to be frightening."

FILE - Dr. Anne Schuchat, principal deputy director for Centers of Disease Control Prevention, right, and Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Disease, speak at the White House in Washington, April 11, 2016.
So far, 114 children in the U.S. have died from influenza or a flu-related illness, and the flu season is not yet over.
Most of those children had not been vaccinated against the virus, Dr. Anne Schuchat, acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said.
In her testimony Thursday before a House of Representatives subcommittee, Schuchat said that although this year's vaccine effectiveness was relatively low — the CDC's preliminary survey shows it is 36 percent effective overall — its effectiveness in children is much higher, at 59 percent.
When asked why, Schuchat acknowledged that infectious disease specialists don't know, but she offered two theories.
"One is, children's immune response is often better than adults, particularly better than older adults. A second is your response to an influenza vaccine may differ when it's the first time you've been exposed to influenza or the vaccine," she said.
The CDC recommends that everyone 6 months old and older get a flu vaccine every year, although only about 60 percent of children in the U.S. get that vaccine. Children are more likely to get the virus and spread it, and Schuchat said having more children vaccinated is in the public interest.
"We know that flu vaccines can prevent disease and reduce severity, and we know that they can also prevent spread," she said.
Getting the flu vaccine doesn't mean someone won't be hospitalized or even die from the flu, but the vaccine makes it much less likely.
One study found that, for healthy children, the flu vaccine reduced the risk of dying by almost two-thirds. For those children whose medical condition put them at greater risk, the vaccine cut their risk of death in half.
This year's flu season started a month earlier than most, and the predominant strain, H2N2, an A strain, is more virulent than the B strains that are also circulating. Another difference from regular flu seasons is that the virus circulated through the entire continental U.S. at the same time.
The virus peaked in early February, but the season has several more weeks to go.
Schuchat told the subcommittee that the B strains are more common right now than they were a few weeks ago, which may actually be good news because the CDC found that the vaccine is 42 percent effective against influenza B viruses.
