I had NW as my upset pick last week and they went on to get slaughtered. I will not be picking them for an upset this time around. Their offense is flat out bad. It seems like the defense has given up on carrying the team this season. You get the sense that since their first half run has come to an end the Wildcats aren't playing with the same urgency. I think the Huskers will end up winning this game close to the number. If I had to side, though, it would not be with the Wildcats.
The Cornhuskers rebounded nicely last week, allowing me to nail my upset pick of the week despite having a pretty average week overall. I like the Huskers again this week at home against a Northwestern team that is really struggling on offense to find some sort of identity. This game will be won when Northwestern is on offense and Nebraska is on defense, as Northwestern's strength is it's running game and Nebraska's strength on defense is its rush D. The Huskers seem to have turned a corner offensively with the return of De'Mornay Pierson-El, and I think he is the catalyst that sends Nebraska on a second half surge.
This Northwestern team has been quite disappointing lately especially in the shutout loss to Michigan two weeks ago and a loss to Iowa last week. But despite those two back-to-back losses to top 25 teams 7.5 is a lot of points in this one. I think Nebraska wins but not by more than a touchdown.
I love that Duke has turned into a respectable ACC football team over the past few years. I really love their defense too. I think this will be a close and low scoring game. In the end, the Blue Devils' coaching and control of the game turn into a victory over an inconsistent Tech team.
Duke has historically struggled against Virginia Tech, especially on the road. This trip to Blacksburg should be very similar to the previous trips for anyone associated with the Duke program, coming back to Durham with a head scratching loss. Virginia Tech gets QB Michael Brewer back for this one, the same QB who led the Hokies to a first half lead over the Ohio State Buckeyes. Look for VT to make a statement here, and win a tough hard fought game at home.
I like a one loss Duke team on the road against Virginia Tech. The Hokies are 3-7 against the spread in their last ten games at home. Duke comes in on a nice three game win streak and will win this game by a field goal.
The Trojans are coming off back to back losses. They were a popular pick to upset Notre Dame last week, but that did not pan out. I expect much of the same to happen here. USC certainly has the tools to win with Cody Kessler throwing to (top-5 name in FBS) JuJu Schuster, and that very well could happen if everything goes right. But I believe this Utah team is different from teams of past that were good for a few upsets and great home field advantage. The Utes continue their streak and start to garner more respect.
Nobody believes the Utes are any good, and they keep on winning. Utah heads to USC where they have won one game in the history of their program. This is EXACTLY why I believe Utah will win! USC put all of their emotions into the game at Notre Dame last week and wound up getting thumped by the Irish. Look for Utah to come in and take care of business at the Coliseum this weekend, and maybe the nation will finally start to appreciate just how good this Utes team is.
Absolutely baffles me how USC is favored over the third ranked team in the nation even if they are at home. The Trojans are 0-2 at home so far against pac12 schools and this game will be no different.
Tulane gave up 65 to Georgia Tech's triple option, which Navy executes, dare I say, just as well if not better. I see the Midshipmen scoring almost every drive and Tulane's offense coming off the field after 3 plays a lot. The already porous defense will wear down quickly and our future servicemen don't know that there is a word in the dictionary spelled m-e-r-c-y, so they will show none.
Don't understand this one. Yes, the Pirates are always tough (especially at home). Yes, Temple looked sloppy in their double digit win over UCF last week. But I can not figure out for the life of me why the Pirates are giving 3 points here. Temple is 6-0 and Matt Rhule's bunch might be the best defensive unit in the country. ECU is 4-3 coming off of a 13 point win at home against Tulsa, a result that doesn't exactly lead many to believe the Pirates are better than the Owls. Take the points with the better team here and watch PJ Walker have a field day against this Pirate defense on Thursday night.
Not sure why this line is so small, even at Georgia Tech. GT is 2-5 and 0-4 in the ACC. Florida State wins this game by 10 points at the least.
This will be an exciting one to watch and interesting to see how each team responds to last week's loss. I think the ball will be aired out and end up somewhat high scoring. I like where A&M is at better than a declining Ole Miss. It doesn't hurt that the Aggies play fairly well on the road under Sumlin.
Arkansas and Brett Bielema aren't exactly lighting the world on fire in the 2015 season like many pundits predicted in the beginning of the year. Auburn seems to have finally turned a corner after walloping Kentucky last week on a Thursday night on the road in Lexington. With the long week to prepare, I like Auburn to make another statement with a road win against the Razorbacks that could leave some wondering if Bielema is the right man for the job in Arkansas.
This pick all comes down to the home field advantage that Syracuse has in the Carrier Dome. The last time they were home they kept up with LSU all game only losing by 10. This Pittsburgh team has a better record however has not had very impressive wins on the road. Syracuse by no more than a touchdown.
Losing Will Grier was a huge setback for the already struggling Florida offense, which now has to rely on Treon Harris. The Gators will not have the atmosphere at the Swamp to back them like they did against Ole Miss. I feel a low scoring game with LSU in control the entire time but he UF defense makes sure its not a blowout. Take LSU as long as the line stays in the single digits.
The big news this week has been Will Grier and his suspension from this dominant Florida team. When I use the word dominant I am referring to the Florida defense. On the other side: Fournette, the almost undisputed Heisman trophy winner to be has been nothing but sensational for LSU. But despite that I see a strong Florida defense with a dual threat back up quarterback that keeps the game close enough for the Gators to cover.
So a backup quarterback who before this year was a career sub 50% passer, who was beat out as the starter this season after a solid showing against New Mexico State, takes over the starting gig in Gainesville. First test? Going to Baton Rouge to face a pass defense that allows less than 200 yards per game through the air. Harris will undoubtedly make a few plays with his feet that should keep the Gators competitive but LSU and Leonard Fournette will ultimately both prevail and cover this spread.
This line is inflated because of Michigan's shutouts against bad offenses and Sparty's inability to win in blowout fashion. This is a rivalry that finally has some implication. Don't fall for recency bias. Sparty was No. 2 in the polls last week, now is 8-point dogs. Take the points.
This is going to be an easy pick for me. Two words – Harbaugh Effect. I watched a No. 13 ranked Northwestern team walk into the big house last weekend and get absolutely embarrassed. Yes, this Michigan State team is no joke, but a bigger yes- is this Michigan defense. They have not allowed a score in three games.
This one makes no sense to me. Yes, Michigan has been playing better than any moment since the Lloyd Carr era the past three games, however this is a Michigan State team led by Senior QB Connor Cook that many voted as the No. 1 team in the country a mere 3 weeks ago. After two boring matchups against lesser opponents, look for State to be hungry to re-prove their worth against the Wolverines. Stat you didn't know about this one? Michigan State has won outright against Michigan 6 out of the last 7 years, with the one loss being a 12-10 heartbreaker in 2012. This game will be a low scoring Spartan win, with Cook's QB play being the difference at the end.
These teams are heading in opposite directions going into this week. Washington is at home which gives them the slight edge with the number. With how unpredictable the Pac 12 has been this year, I can't be confident in one over the other. What I am confident in is that they will both put up points. Bet over 58.5 total points.
This is quite an easy pick for me after watching Oregon get absolutely embarrassed at home by Utah, letting up 62 points. After coming off another loss to Washington State I see a deflated, discouraged Oregon team who is used to winning big not losing big, and since they are out of the running for the college playoff, Washington wins by 2 touchdowns or more.
Honestly, this matchup is coming down to the Huskies being at home. Oregon is nowhere near their usual selves this year, while this Washington team is beginning to get its footing coming off of a big time win last week on Thursday night in Los Angeles, defeating USC 17-12 and leading to Steve Sarkisian receiving a loss in his final game as head coach of the Trojans. The Huskies need to contain QB Jeff Locke, which they have the athleticism on defense to do.
You will probably not watch this game. But every time you check the ticker it will seem like WKU is scoring in increments of 14. Doughty will throw his way to cover in the first half. And North Texas will not be good enough for a back door cover.
Not much to say about this game besides that the buckeyes never win big aka more than 14 points, ever. I am so sick of taking them with huge spreads, to only watch them win by a touchdown. So, I will easily take Penn State in this game to keep it close, but lose by 10-14 points MAX.
Hawaii has traveled to the mainland for games 3 times so far this season and has scored a combined 0 points through those 3 games. New Mexico hasn't eclipsed 40 points minus a 66-0 week 1 win over Mississippi Valley State at home. 51 points between these two would be an absolute miracle.
Apparently the beating they took last week was bad enough to make Northwestern home dogs. Though they are the better team. Look for a very low scoring game with Northwestern winning outright.
Despite Notre Dame coming into the game as 6.5 point favorites against the Fighting Irish, I have seen Notre Dame at their worst. That being said, no matter the rankings of either team ND USC is always a close game. Despite the spread, I can see the Trojans winning this game outright and Notre Dame getting shocked at home.
Technically, this would be an upset. Historically speaking, this would be expected. Nebraska enters this game an underdog after getting its heart broken AGAIN at home, this time to the hands of the Wisconsin Badgers, who kicked a field goal to win 23-21 at the buzzer. The Cornhuskers strength is run defense, while the Gophers cannot pass effectively enough with QB Mitch Leidner to take advantage of a shaky at times Cornhuskers secondary. I don't expect Tommy Armstrong to light the world on fire, but I do believe a larger role from DeMornay Pierson-El will lead the Cornhuskers to a much needed win in Minneapolis this Saturday.


When I try to install the utilities in FC5, I get errors complaining about missing libs, even though they're all in /lib. From Google I found this problem might me caused my the line "export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5", and there's even an old patch for setupfw150.bin, but this fix doesn't work for setupfw160.bin. I tried manually removing the line in a hex editor but when I try to run the new file it just complains that "/tmp/install.dir.12271/Linux/resource/vm.tar.Z: not in gzip format".
Has anyone been able to install the utilities in Linux? What can I do?
mode. Please do not attempt to install this currently downloaded copy.
Nevermind, the following Python script I wrote patches setupfw160.bin.
Well, in exactly half an hour, you did not let the chance to anyone to post a reply telling that he would not have a clue about the issue.
Nice job, you've just bought yourself another survival period for the package.
It looks like a problem with the binary tools used by the extraction process. This is likely to happen with every major evolution of system dll's. The good news is about the Java layer, I think it should remain compatible for a while.

Thanks for the kudos. Glad I could help. I'll also mention that the utils with the included JVM will only work when run as root. Otherwise it complains about not being able to access the USB device. Unsurprisingly, the non-JVM version doesn't work with GCJ (nothing seems to), which is the only other JVM I have installed by default.


The exercise price of the Warrants is being re-priced to $0.45 from $1.60 and the exercise period is being extended until April 20, 2020, which is consistent with the pricing and exercise period of the warrants issued pursuant to the $1.4 million non-brokered private placement of units that closed April 20, 2018. Finder's warrants issued in connection with the non-brokered private placements in 2017 are not eligible for amendment.

Combined, the May 2017 Warrants, June 2017 Warrants and September 2017 Warrants represent 10,415,411 Warrants on a pre-Consolidation basis and 2,603,852 Warrants on a post-Consolidation basis. None of the Warrants have been exercised.

How To Build a Successful Digital Marketing Campaign
Muhammad Usman Siddiqui June 22, 2017 0 0
Time has come for you to start thinking about how your marketing strategy should evolve. It's prudent to take a moment and step back as you evaluate your success in previous marketing campaigns as you consider the best ways to evolve your digital marketing in the upcoming years.
Most will agree that last year experienced a lot of advancements and changes in the digital space. It was the year that saw an increased focus on unique and creative content marketing, algorithm updates, innovations in live streaming, changes in Google AdWords, and the introduction of ephemeral content on the Instagram platform.
These achievements may appear to be a lot to hold onto in the long run. However, the advancements can assist you to find better ways of doing now. They should inspire you to test new strategies that engage your clients on an even deeper level. As you lay down your focus, here are some digital marketing tactics you can test if you have the intention of taking your strategy to the next level:
1. Live Streaming
Live streaming was widely popular in 2016. Facebook partnered with several publishers to launch its live streaming service dubbed "Facebook live." The advantage of this application is that it is accessible by all users. Twitter also partnered with the Republican and Democratic conventions and its own notably in 2016, and Golden Globes to up the ante of live streaming in 2016.
Twitter allows users to begin a live stream directly from the application, which makes live streaming easy and enjoyable. You no longer need to access the Periscope application before you start a live streaming session. With both Twitter and Facebook making live streaming easier than ever before there is no better time to test it for your brand with digital marketing.
If you are still new to live streaming, you can begin by brainstorming some content ideas for your brand that are authentic and feel spur-of-the-moment. Some of the brilliant ideas came in the form of 'how-to' videos, where you teach your clients all the ways they need to use each product. Seize this opportunity to show them how they can maximize the use of a particular product.
Another idea could be the question and answer session. You can decide to host question and answer sessions with experts of the particular topic. It's advisable to source questions from the audience if you want to enhance their user experience.
You can also broadcast an event that your brand is taking part in or is hosting. People who cannot be there is person will have the opportunity to follow the proceedings. You can also think of taking the users behind the scenes at special events where you offer them a look into the world that is normally closed to them. Think about taking your users to the back office to allow them see the process of getting the product or service ready for them.
You could also teach your users a new skill through demonstrations. For example, a real estate company can hold a series of teachings that show clients how to stage a home for sale. One of the brands that make good use of live streaming to connect with their audience is Tough Mudder. This health-and-fitness brand goes live on Facebook to provide helpful tips and reviews to get in shape after the holidays.
Eddie Madan, CEO of a Toronto based social media marketing agency, Edkent Media, explains that you need to announce your live streaming session in advance so that your users don't miss it. You can capture your users in advance by writing a descriptive introduction that is compelling that will make them stop scrolling and tune into the live session.
2. Ephemeral Content
You should expect to see more ephemeral content. The term ephemeral content refers to posts that have a limited life span and disappear after the set period. In fact, disappearing posts are no longer just a thing of Snapchat. Instagram launched Instagram stories that comprise its ephemeral content feature in 2016.
Some marketers may think that creating content that will disappear after 24 hours does not make sense. However, you should be present where you can find your consumers. The advantage of Instagram stories and Snapchat is that they are specially designed for content that has a spontaneous feel and grounded in that moment.
It's not advisable to post content that appears overly stiff, formal or edited. Therefore, there is no need to spend hours designing or filming in studio. You can develop bite-size content that costs almost nothing. Spend most of your time focusing on the reflection of human qualities that are evident in your brand. If the brand is still new to ephemeral content, you could begin with behind the scenes, GIFs, snippets from events, and brand announcement teasers.
3. Snapchat Advertising
Snapchat introduced two major advertising innovations in 2016. You can try these platforms if you want to broaden the ad buys of your brand across the platform. However, Snapchat is not a perfect fit for all brands. It's ideal for youthful content that is somewhat playful to match the consumers who are using the app.
Snapchat rolled out the ability to create sponsored geofilters that allowed brands to develop their own geofilters and select the where and when to enable them. Sponsored geofilters allow brands to use trademarks and logos — something that community geofilters did not previously permit.
Another perfect launch by Snapchat was that of sponsored stories. These ads appear in between users' stories. The sponsored stories play sound automatically as long as the user has his or her sound on and are full screen. The advertiser can send the users to longer articles, videos, or an application installation directly from the ads. Users have a choice to skip sponsored stories, but these ads are different enough and new to have some edge when it comes to engaging the user. With what was brought to digital marketing, brands need to do what they can to stay relevant, but also keep their target market in mind when they make these choices.

Whitaker, who most recently worked as Sessions' chief of staff, has previously criticized special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and potential collusion with the Kremlin by the Trump campaign. In his new role as acting attorney general, Whitaker is charged with overseeing that probe.
Trump has been known to delete some tweets with typos or obvious factual errors, firing off amended posts within minutes. But since referencing Schiff just after 1 p.m., the president has not corrected the spelling of the congressman's name, and has gone on to tweet about South American migrants and rebroadcasts of his Sunday interview with Fox News anchor Chris Wallace.
The president's apparent dig at one of the top Democratic lawmakers in Congress comes as the White House has complained about a lack of civility among members of the media — specifically CNN's Jim Acosta, whose security pass was yanked by Secret Service personnel following a dispute involving a news conference earlier this month.
Trump, in his interview with Fox News' Wallace on Sunday, said the White House was in the process of drafting new protocols for conduct by reporters at news conferences.
