Women in wrestling have worked hard to claim their time was now. If the women's (R)Evolution in the ring has taken its time to become a reality, thanks to wrestlers like Alundra Blayze, Bull Nakano, and the current brood of female wrestlers, revolution around the ring is just starting. For a very long time, commentary or interviews were reserved for men or smiling female eye-candies.
Alicia Atout took her chance when she created Amby five years ago, a music blog, and decided to use it as a platform to fulfil her passion for wrestling a year and a half ago. Her wrestling interviews are full of wit and very well-documented. So when Impact Wrestling announced they were hiring Atout as their new backstage interviewer, at least for the Road to Slammiversary and the PPV, it seemed pretty obvious they were not just hiring a woman, but a true interviewer with a style and a real knowledge of the business.
Atout is, in fact, epitomizing another revolution starting to bloom in the wrestling business. After women being allowed to have a voice, women are now meant to be the voice of the circus. Most of them have been fans for a very long time. At a time, it was not easy for a woman to claim she could love this kind of sport, without being laughed at. Now, they can not only say it but they can also use it to become legit voices of the action.
Most of Alicia Atout's Amby best memories are related to Impact Wrestling, like when Rosemary licked her hand or Eli Drake turned her interview upside down. Her becoming the company new backstage interviewer is another way to create good memories. And even if she's a woman and she's young, not only she will do it, but she will do great. The Impact roster and fandom are supporting her in it. That's the other side of women empowerment Impact Wrestling is able to plant the seeds of.

Tonight is the absolute peak of the Perseids meteor shower, one of the year's most beautiful atmospheric events, and if you're lucky enough to be somewhere that the night reigns dark, you should definitely check it out. On the other hand, if you're sitting in the heart of a major city like me, you probably won't get the pleasure of seeing the night and meteor shower as they were meant to be seen.
That's why we asked Viceroy if he would do us the favor of curating a playlist for us, because if anyone can make us feel like we're somewhere we're not, it's Viceroy. He came back to us with these top picks.

The green light has finally been given by the State Government for the $230 million Port Spencer Deep Water Port grain export facility, with work starting next month.
It will be ready to receive grain for the 2021 harvest.
Planning and Local Government Minister Vickie Chapman said it would deliver significant benefits to local growers and the wider Eyre Peninsula community.
The State Government was working hard to get such projects underway amid the COVID-19 crisis, she said.
Ms Chapman said Peninsula Ports' modified proposal has been through the major development assessment process.
"I'm pleased this is one of the first major developments I have been able to tick off as the new minister," she said.
The project will create up to 150 jobs during construction and 20 more permanent local operational jobs, including employment opportunities for Barngarla community members. Operational staff numbers are expected to further peak at 80 staff during harvest.
Peninsula Ports Chief Executive Officer Greg Walters said approval of the project followed significant public consultation across the region.
He said it also would also improve road safety on Eyre Peninsula, by diverting significant truck movements into and out of Port Lincoln.
Peninsula Ports would work with the Tumby Bay Council to ensure ratepayers were not disadvantaged in the maintenance of access roads to the port, he said.
"We're committed to delivering a new export terminal for the Eyre Peninsula, which will aid in protecting the clean and green reputation of the region's grain industry and significantly improving the competitiveness of the industry in reaching global markets," he said.
A historic, Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) supporting the development of the facility has been signed between the Barngarla Determination Aboriginal Corporation and Peninsula Ports.
It recognises the Barngarla Community's traditional ownership and cultural connection to the land and sea.
It will enable the Barngarla people to share ownership in the facility and create the basis for the future development of an Indigenous ranger program.
The project is expected to support growers, with increased competition resulting in freight and supply chain savings.

Please find below 60 MCQ of Teaching Aptitude Question Based on CBSE UGC NET Solved Paper 1 June 2007 UGC NET exam. Answer of All those has been provided below the question.
5. Which is the least important factor in teaching ?
All political systems need to mediate the relationship between private wealth and public power. Those that fail risk a dysfunctional government captured by wealthy interests. Corruption is one symptom of such failure with private willingness-to-pay trumping public goals. Private individuals and business firms pay to get routine services and to get to the head of the bureaucratic queue. They pay to limit their taxes, avoid costly regulations, obtain contracts at inflated prices and get concessions and privatised firms at low prices. If corruption is endemic, public officials – both bureaucrats and elected officials – may redesign programmes and propose public projects with few public benefits and many opportunities for private profit. Ofcourse, corruption, in the sense of bribes, pay-offs and kickbacks, is only one type of government failure. Efforts to promote 'good governance' must be broader than anti-corruption campaigns. Governments may be honest but inefficient because no one has an incentive to work productively, and narrow elites may capture the state and exert excess influence on policy. Bribery may induce the lazy to work hard and permit those not in the inner circle of cronies to obtain benefits. However, even in such cases, corruption cannot be confined to 'functional' areas. It will be a temptation whenever private benefits are positive. It may be a reasonable response to a harsh reality but, over time, it can facilitate a spiral into an even worse situation.
21. Which is the number that comes next in the sequence ?
(A) Is 'X' related to 'Y'?
(B) How is 'X' related to 'Y'?
(D) How is 'X' by 'K' related to 'M'?
26. From the given four statements, select the two which cannot be true but yet both can be false.
30. 'A' is the father of 'C, and 'D' is the son of 'B'. 'E' is the brother of 'A'. If 'C is the sister of 'D', how is 'B' related to 'E'?
42. Which of the natural hazards have big effect on Indian people each year ?

A streetcar named moral confusion
by Zac Alstin May 10, 2011 May 1, 2020 / 6 mins /
Ethics, believe it or not, is a science: "Any
branch or department of systematized knowledge considered as a distinct field
of investigation or object of study."
And, like any modern scientist, modern
ethicists savour the most pithy and intractable challenges to their knowledge
and assumptions. Such challenges are the obvious test of any ethical theory. But,
while theoretical physicists grapple with questions such as how to resolve
quantum mechanics and general relativity, ethicists struggle to produce
convincing responses to hypotheticals such as the infamous Trolley Problem.
The Trolley Problem is a
thought experiment created by British moral philosopher Philippa Foot (1920-2010)
in 1978. It has since spawned a collection of related problems and has even
inspired parallel investigations from a cognitive science perspective. The problem
itself is quite straightforward:
A trolley (a tram or a streetcar) is
running out of control down a track. In its path are five people who have been
tied to the track by a mad philosopher. Fortunately, you could flip a switch,
which will lead the trolley down a different track to safety. Unfortunately,
there is a single person tied to that track. Should you flip the switch or do
nothing?
This thought experiment demands a number of
answers: what would you do in such a situation, and why would you do it? What ought
you to do? And, most importantly, why ought you to do it?
Whatever your answer to these questions,
your consistency and resolve may be challenged by ever more contrived or
harrowing dilemmas. Take, for example, the 'Fat Man'
version of the Trolley Problem:
As before, a trolley is hurtling down a
track towards five people. You are on a bridge under which it will pass, and
you can stop it by dropping a heavy weight in front of it. As it happens, there
is a very fat man next to you – your only way to stop the trolley is to push
him over the bridge and onto the track, killing him to save five. Should you
proceed?
These thought experiments are designed to
put your beliefs and consistency to the test. For example, you might conclude
in the first instance that it would be better for one person to die than for
five people to be killed, and so flip the switch. But would you adhere to the
same reasoning in the "Fat Man" scenario, and push the man over the bridge? The
math is the same in both instances, and if we are to be consistent then the
same moral principles must apply.
But these kinds of hypothetical moral
problems are not like the problems tackled by physicists and other natural
sciences. For one thing, physicists are agreed on their objectives: to
investigate and accurately define the physical laws and properties of the
universe. Hence the problems faced by physicists are real problems that require
real answers.
On the contrary, the hypothetical problems
created by ethicists are designed to test internal consistency, adherence to
principles, and clarification of complex issues. Not only are they not real
problems, but solving them is not the real point either. In fact, philosophers
will not agree on the underlying ethical context, and they will not agree on
what constitutes a solution. Should our aim be to clarify our moral intuitions?
Or should we regard intuitions as suspect and aim for the most "rational"
course of action? The answer will depend on who is asking the question, and
many who do ask are already committed to the idea that the consequences of an
action are all that matters.
What hope does a student have when they are
presented with such problems by a teacher who believes that our intentions are
morally irrelevant and that the principle of double effect is therefore
fallacious? Yet the principle of double effect is enshrined
in the Geneva Conventions, and central not only to the ethics of warfare but to
self-defence and medicine also.
Another difference between the problems of
natural science and the thought experiments of ethics is that the realism of these
hypothetical problems is sometimes questionable. Is it feasible that a fat man
could derail an out-of-control trolley? Perhaps we should ask a physicist
before we ask a philosopher. Naturally, it is considered bad form to circumvent
an ethical problem by criticising its realism; we are meant to accept the
scenario in a hypothetical spirit and decide what to do if it were real. Indeed,
our ethical principles should be rigorous enough to deal with the most
outlandish hypotheticals.
But in many cases it seems that the whole
point of these invented problems is to leverage psychological pressure against
non-utilitarian forms of ethics. In other words, these problems can serve
merely as devices to dissuade people from holding certain ethical principles. This
is, I am sure, less an issue for serious philosophers and ethicists than it is
for the many students and amateurs who encounter these ideas in their formative
stages of moral thinking.
Take, for example, the issue of torture. If
we assert that torture is always and everywhere wrong, utilitarian critics look
for the most extreme and emotionally tortuous hypotheticals. "So, you wouldn't
torture a terrorist to find the location of a nuclear bomb that will kill
hundreds of thousands of people?" or "You wouldn't torture a member of a murderous
gang to find the location of a kidnapped child?" The implication is that we
must express a cold-hearted preference for the death of hundreds of thousands
of people, or for the murder of an innocent child, rather than contravene our rigid
ethical beliefs. Under the weight of such emotionally loaded accusations, the
question of realism is relevant indeed. "Don't listen to that guy, his ethics
are so unrealistic that he'd rather let tens of millions of people be wiped out
in a nuclear holocaust than to sully himself with a bit of light torture which,
we all agree, is bound to save the day."
In addition, such hypothetical scenarios
are often loaded with questionable assumptions. Why should we assume that
torture will work? Will the fat man derail the trolley? Serious philosophers
will overlook such dubious presumptions for the sake of the argument. But in
the more general debate we should not let them go unchallenged. After all, the
underlying premise of ethics itself is to show us the way to a good life, how to
flourish as human beings. And while sound principles of ethics will undoubtedly
see us facing severe hardships at times, refusing to take an easy way out, it
is hardly fair or relevant to the overarching goal of a good life to have to
take seriously every fanciful nightmare scenario concocted by someone who wants
you to abandon your ethical principles.
Unlike ethicists, physicists will not waste
their time with hypothetical scenarios that rest on faulty assumptions. Their
interest lies in describing reality, not defending their consistency against
unrealistic fantasies. Since there is just this one reality in which we all
must live, perhaps we would be best served by working out how to live here,
rather than how to live in possible hypothetical worlds where torture often
saves thousands from nuclear incineration, where fat men are often used to
derail trolleys.
It is no coincidence that trolleyology is of
little use in everyday life. A utilitarian – think Peter Singer — might advise
you that there is no meaningful difference between pulling the trolley switch
to save five lives, and pushing the fat man off the bridge to save five lives.
But his principles will also advise you
that there is no meaningful difference between staying with your wife, or
leaving her for another woman – it all comes down to the net balance of
happiness achieved. Likewise, a utilitarian may struggle to give you advice on
whether you should have children, or whether you should spend your life pursuing
pleasure. The study of runaway trolleys doesn't deliver much insight into what
true happiness is, how it can be measured, and how it can be achieved.
But isn't that the whole point of ethics?
By contrast, traditional ethics observes
that having children provides a kind of fulfilment that is irreducible and
irreplaceable. If you are able to have children, doing so will contribute to
your flourishing as a human being. When all such goods are identified, we will know
how we ought to live in order to flourish. Only when we know how we ought to
live can we then deal with such unusual and conflicted scenarios as the Trolley
This is the path taken by traditional
ethics: it is first and foremost a set of guidance for the greatest fulfilment
we can hope to achieve. It is a system of knowledge founded on the real life
problem of how to achieve true happiness.

Holland pulls Wonson out of Derby wind debate
Posted By National Wind Watch On March 21, 2012 @ 8:42 am In Vermont | Comments Disabled
HOLLAND – The Holland Select Board Monday night decided that Mitch Wonson would no longer represent the board in the Derby Line wind project. This follows on the heels of Wonson being defeated by Aaron Nadeau for a position on the Holland Planning Commission at the last Town Meeting.
Wonson was on the Holland Planning Commission in 2007 and wrote the town plan. The plan recommended the adoption of a town policy on commercial energy generation facilities, and a policy was adopted in November. That policy is now on hold in Holland after some uproar occurred in the town.
A committee is working on defining commercial energy facilities. Wonson is on that committee. He says, however, that the policy is still in effect for surrounding towns, such as the proposed Derby wind project.
According to Brett Farrow, the chair person of the Holland Select Board, many Holland farmers are concerned that they would not be able to build turbines on their farms based on the wording of the policy in the town plan.
Wonson was appointed to the planning commission in 2011 to update the town plan, which was set to expire, and to write the policy. Wonson was also appointed in 2011 to represent the Holland Select Board in matters relating to the proposed wind turbine project in Derby Line, near the Holland town line.
Farrow said that Wonson came across as anti-wind and did not accurately depict the true feelings of the town. Farrow said the town really wants answers about the project.
"Mitch has some very good ideas, but we believe he is more anti-wind than we are. What we're after are answers." Farrow said the town's questions relate to health effects, noise, and property values.
When asked for comment regarding the situation, Wonson made the following statement: "It's unfortunate when personal aspersions and unfounded allegations are used to further someone's agenda. I am not anti-wind. I believe that because I raised questions of importance on the impacts of the Derby Wind project on the Town of Holland, I was perceived as anti-wind. My thousands of pages of research reveal that the negative impacts on property values and human health have occurred in other communities as a result of industrial wind turbines. Through me, the town has consistently requested information from the developer, who had yet to fully address the town's concerns."
Holland sent a list of questions to the Derby wind project developer, Encore Redevelopment of Burlington. Chad Farrell with Encore responded but did not fully answer the questions, Farrow confirmed.
Holland two weeks ago hired attorney Richard Saudek of Montpelier to represent the town in seeking intervener status in the Public Service Board's proceedings for the project.
Encore is seeking to construct two wind turbines – more than 400 feet tall at the tip of the blade – on two farms just east of the Village of Derby Line. The proposal is generating heated controversy with strong feeling on both sides of the project.
Farrow said he doesn't know if the majority of Holland residents support it or not, as he is hearing strong opinions either way.
Encore has proposed offering the town a $15,000 annual payment for the life of the wind project, but no agreement is in place on the issue.

Newsmakers : Business Leaders Gather To Talk Transparency
Author: Joseph Giarraputo
BUSINESS LEADERS GATHER TO TALK TRANSPARENCY
There is a tremendous opportunity buried in almost every single company
in rethinking … how decisions are made." —Hal Sirkin, Boston Consulting Group
For businesses bewildered by the ever-growing demands for corporate accountability and compliance, help may be at hand. In late July a group of more than 175 executives from companies such as IBM, Intuit,AT Kearney and Verizon launched the Business Performance Management Forum (BPMF), a group dedicated to helping businesses manage and measure their performance.
At its launch the BPMF released a survey on corporate board members' attitudes to performance accountability that contained some fairly disturbing revelations. For instance, the study found that 85% of the board members surveyed were anxious about the methodologies and tools used by management to track business performance. Two thirds grumbled that they were uncomfortable with the accuracy of their company's financial business forecasts, although only one third felt they didn't have enough information to ensure appropriate transparency to investors. Jeff Rodek, chairman and CEO at BPMF founding sponsor Hyperion, drew a heartening conclusion from the study:"Board members recognize their increasingly significant role in corporate governance."
According to another member of the BPFM board, Hal Sirkin, senior vice president at Boston Consulting Group, the creation of the forum was prompted largely by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. "Business performance, on every level, is an issue that is striking home in many companies, firstly as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley, which is making them step back and think through what their obligations are," he says."It is also causing them to think about how they measure business performance—and how they report it."
Sirkin explains that the BPFM will provide an environment where businesses can share best practices and increase awareness of performance management and measurement techniques. Businesses that get involved will certainly have a range of experts on tap as many of founders and members are in the business of business performance management. And while he admits that "there may be sales opportunities for companies in all of this" Sirkin takes the high ground:"There is a tremendous opportunity buried in almost every single company in rethinking several levels down how decisions are made—and what information is used in making those decisions—to tease out where there is room for enhanced profitability and enhanced growth.This forum is a way to help them do that."
Of course, it will also present a tremendous opportunity for the consultants to boost their own business performance.

BABY BOOMERS FIND A FRIEND IN ILLINOIS JUDGE
Judge G. Patrick Murphy, 54, of US District Court in southern Illinois sided with fellow baby boomers when he ruled that IBM violated age-discrimination laws when it changed its pension plan twice in the 1990s.
Kathi Cooper, a 53-year-old Illinoisan who works for IBM, is the lead plaintiff in the suit, which has been certified a class action. She and 140,000 other IBM workers and retirees stand to collect larger annuities if their suit succeeds. Armonk, New York-based IBM will appeal the ruling, which it says affects the pension plans of 400 US companies.
Judge Murphy, a Vietnam veteran and motorcycle enthusiast who joined the Marines at age 17, spent most of his legal career as a sole practitioner in rural southern Illinois before he was appointed to the bench in 1998. He ruled that IBM unfairly penalized older workers when it converted its traditional pension plan to a cash-balance plan, in which workers can collect a lump sum when they leave the company. The US Internal Revenue Service declared a moratorium on such plans in 2000 and is rewriting its regulations.
Although IBM stood to save billions of dollars over the years by changing its plan, Judge Murphy says his ruling did not consider whether the company was motivated to improve its bottom line. He says the controversy over cash-balance plans may not be resolved until the issue lands in the US Supreme Court.

EURO DEFENSE GIANT TAKES AIM AT US MARKET
Not content with dominating its home markets, the Europe-based aerospace and defense company EADS is harboring some lofty ambitions. Winner of last November's Global Finance award for best aerospace and defense company in Europe, EADS is now training its sights on an even bigger target: the United States.
On a recent trip to New York City to trumpet his firm's results for the first half of 2003, the company's CFO, Hans-Peter Ring, threw down the gauntlet. "We are already well established," says Ring. "But we want to grow our business here."
EADS is already the world's second-largest aerospace and defense company in terms of revenues, with €29.9 billion ($34 billion) in 2002. It is a partner in the successful Airbus consortium and heads the A400M military transport aircraft program. The latter program recently received a significant vote of confidence with a €20 billion order from the European defense procurement agency OCCAR
EADS's top rival, Boeing, may be streets ahead in term of revenue—last year's revenue topped $54 billion—but the European challenger may yet be able to carve out a bigger slice of the US market. Already this year, in partnership with rival Lockheed, it has snagged a deal with the US Coast Guard to supply transport planes and mission systems. The company is also hoping to be able to announce soon a major contract for its Dauphin helicopters.
Hopes for growing the business in the US will no doubt be boosted by the news that US military spending grew faster in the second quarter of this year than at any time since the Korean war.
While Ring is keen to get his teeth into the US military aerospace market, he is more wary of the prospects in the civil aviation market. "I am concerned about the financial stability of some of the airlines, especially in North America. First they have to recover before they invest in new equipment. I expect that to take quite some time," Ring says. In the meantime, EADS is steering clear of financing its customers' purchases. "Our risks would be greater if we got into financing, but we are very cautious in financing our customers. That would accumulate risk, which is not a good idea."
Ring is realistic about the company's current prospects: "We have a way to go before we would be No.1," he admits. But in a market that's seen more than its share of upsets recently, EADS could be a company to watch.
READY FOR PRIME TIME AGAIN?
In a sure sign that Brazil's major public companies think global investors have finally warmed to President Luiz Inacio da Silva (Lula)'s handling of Latin America's largest economy, they are launching a major investor relations push in both New York and Madrid. Bovespa, the country's leading exchange, and IBRI, the investor relations institute, are spearheading the move. Referring to the need to mold investor opinions of Brazil, José Marcos Treiger vice president (international relations) of IBRI, says, "Sometimes you have to use your elbows to make positive things happen."
A New York event on November 17 will be hosted jointly with the New York Stock Exchange, where Brazil ranks third behind the UK and Canada in the number of listed ADRs. Presentations will be made by government officials and company CEOs and CFOs.
So far this year, Brazilian ADRs have been among the top performers on the New York exchange with growth of more than 30% through August 1. The last time the Brazilians attempted something on this scale was in 2001, just days before the 9/11 attacks. Whatever impact they made on investors was quickly overwhelmed by the focus on the terrorist attacks.Treiger expects US portfolio managers and both buy-side and sell-side analysts to be present. Unlike bank-sponsored investor conferences where usually only the sponsoring bank's sell-side analysts attend,Treiger expects many banks' sell-siders to participate.
The entire Brazilian group will then move from New York to Madrid where a similar event will be co-hosted on November 19-21 with Latibex, the branch of the Madrid Stock Exchange set-up to trade Latin American stocks.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z Pay Homage to Olympic Legends for Halloween

Grammy award winning artists Beyoncé and Jay-Z wore Halloween costumes to honor historic Olympians Florence "Flo Jo" Griffith-Joyner and Tommie Smith respectively. The pop singer posted photos on her Instagram account donning a one-legged, purple and blue track suit, similar to the custom-made suite Griffith-Joyner wore during one her heats in the Olympic Trials.
Flo-Jo is widely regarded as the fastest woman in the world. In 1988, Griffith-Joyner set the world record in the 100m dash with a 10.49s time and in the 200m with a 21.34s time. These records still stand until this day. Griffith-Joyner was the first American female Olympian to win four medals in a single year.

Jay-z wore a dark blue USA warm-up suit and one black glove, mirroring the same suit Smith wore during his black power salute during the 1968 Summer Olympics. After winning a gold medal in the 200m dash with a 19.83s time, he rose his fist along with bronze medalist John Carlos. The protest was to bring awareness to racial discrimination in the United States and the Apartheid in South Africa.
The image of Smith and Carlos protest has resounded through American history for decades after. The protest received jeers from spectators and International Olympic Committee president Avery Brundage forced them out of the Olympics.

i have 1 hub connected to my router and 1 scout. i have 2 dedicated phone lines. all phone number have been ported.
1 line i want used only off the scout, such as just an office or business line; connect to a wireless jack.
i have NO PHONEJACKS available, i purchased an RCA® Wireless Phone Jack System Model: RC940. the scout is connected to one end of the jacks. the ooma is connected to the other end.
how should i set up my system?
when i plug in my scout into the rca jack, all the buttons on the bottom row of the scout stay solid red.
The wall ports on both the Hub and Scout must be connected to each other.
the wall ports run off the same circuit breaker.
playsccr wrote: the wall ports run off the same circuit breaker.
Set the hub and the scout side by side.
Connect a short phone cable from the hub's wall port to the scout's wall port.
Connect a phone to the phone port of the hub.
Connect another phone to the phone port of the scout.
Go to my.ooma.com and configure the scout as a personal device.
Assign the the office number to the scout personal device.
Does it now work the way that you want?
I'm not sure what you mean. The "Wall" ports I was referring to are the ones on the back of the Hub and the Scout. You use a standard phone cord to connect them to each other. Connect phones (cordless or wired) to the phone ports on the Hub and Scout.
previously i was connecting a phone cord from the hub to the jack and then in other room the jack to the scout. so the only connection between the hub and scout was via the phone jacks.
Yes, wall port to wall port. That's how the Hub and Scout talk to each other. Phones connected to phone ports.
You said you didn't have a house jack available. If you did you could connect the Hub & Scout's wall ports to each other via house wiring (which explains the "wall port" terminology). I don't know if your RCA wireless jacks will work with the Hub & Scout for that purpose, but give it a try and let us know.

Acer said its net profit for the first quarter grew 55 percent year-over-year, but its revenue continued to decline amid struggling PC sales.
Revenue in the quarter was at NT$92 billion, down by 19 percent year-over-year from NT$113 billion.
Acer is trying to revive its product sales as demand for PCs remains sluggish. In the first quarter, worldwide PC shipments fell by 13.9 percent, according to research firm IDC. During that period, Acer saw a 31.3 percent year-over-year decline in its PC shipments.
But the company is banking on its upcoming tablets and convertible PCs to bring back revenue growth. Last week, the company unveiled some of those new products, including an Android tablet priced at $169 and two convertible PC notebooks.

Lagos Police Commissioner orders release of 40 innocent detainees
Lagos Police Commissioner, Imohimi Edgal, has ordered the immediate release of 40 persons detained at the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (FSARS) without cause.
He also directed that 30 detained for alleged cultism related offences be charged to court without further delays.
The police boss gave the directive during an unannounced visit to the unit stationed inside the Command Headquarters in Ikeja.
Aside FSARS, Edgal, it was gathered visited five police divisions unannounced, where he interviewed suspects and inspected the stations.
He warned his personnel to respect the rights of suspects and ensure they were treated with dignity, adding that he would continue unannounced night patrols of police formations under his command.
It was gathered that the night patrols were also not unconnected to resurgence of militancy in some parts of the state and pockets of cultism related activities.
Asked the reason for the patrol, Edgal said: "Patrols are a routine exercise in the force and we act according to directives from the Inspector-General of Police (IG), Ibrahim Idris. The IG said we should intensify efforts towards community and safety partnership. That is exactly what we are doing."

Why So Many Stupid People?
I can't believe there are so many stupid people in this world.
This country.
Anybody with any degree if INTELLIGENCE knows that NONE of their useless, ineffective, gun laws do ANYTHING to keep guns out of the hands of people who want to use them for criminal acts. Yet people who seem to be otherwise intelligent persist in believing that taking the guns away from the law-abiding will stop those who obey no laws from getting them,
Trending: Why Do The Rich Want Socialism?
But the anti-gun fools are gaining ground, since that damned fool shot up a school in Broward County, Florida, and those misguided, ill-informed students started making noise about gun control, guided, instructed, and scripted by the anti-gun fools.
That the anti-gun fools are also FINANCING and organizing their "demonstrations" is obvious, but nobody makes that point. I commiserate with those students, but they're aiming in the wrong direction.
Instead of trying to ban guns for the law-abiding, they should be fostering letting teachers and staff bring their already legally-carried guns to school so a shooter cannot know if, or WHO is armed and ready to "take him down" the minute he starts shooting, instead of waiting that "special few minutes" it takes for the cops to show up, with their guns.
Now after several store chains unilaterally stopped selling certain gins to people under 21, 21% of BANKS are now anti-gun, in their ignorance.

Slut-Shaming A U.S. PresidentA Revolution, A Movement By The Youth


I would include a picture of the cajun pancakes I just had for lunch, or a snippet of the graffiti wall in this cafe, maybe with a blurred waitress rushing past – I want to say that she speaks New Zealand – as in – she's from home, Aotearoa – I would focus on these things and illustrate the kind of prophetic lustre that Brixton creates, that London anticipates – but it's a bit like the Matrix (you have to see it for yourself).
Last night I experienced an attempted mugging. I'm far too precious with my words, the thought of handing them over to a car load of thugs was beyond me. I said no and ran away. There's nothing glamourous about being down and out in London (not Paris sorry) like the famous Orwell novel (if you haven't read it – do). There's nothing particularly creative, or self defining, about a surge of chaotic limbs unlike any that resemble you. And it's definitely up to the person, apparently, how 'tough skinned' you are, to decide how much of this smoke cloud you absorb, or not. London is a bit like the girl you always wanted to ask out, then she takes you home one night and when you see her without her makeup not only is she human, she's a little crazy, and it's unnerving because – it turns out you are too.
I've never been very good at asking for help. I'm one of those retarded (said with pop-culture love) artists that prides myself on never having asked for government funding for a single project. I could never identify with the hordes who had, the idea of sharing the flesh of my ideas with faceless agencies who wanted to simply – tick – some box – somewhere – made my stomach lurch. My international jaunts have been pre-furnished by international agencies, somewhere other, and those figures made sense in my rush to believe in a global reckoning – that I had no hands out – I was merely shaking hands.
Of course it isn't sustainable, not the issue of surviving as an artist without funding – the idea of living as a human without doubt, without needs, without desperation. For a long time my shoulder was cried on. A lot of people, some famous, some infamous, some online, some struggling, some overwhelmed by success. I have been like a sort of human camera, capturing impressions of the other – feeling forms – flesh bound creatures – but it was never me bearing the soft v of my throat, the paua lines of my wrist – I was not in the way of being vulnerable.
Perhaps all your chickens come home to roost, perhaps art is a temporary escape into the ideal world of the mind – and the poems and paintings we create are little windows into a different world, glimpses of the internal world we hide and defend and yet defy, so well. Perhaps I have been naive to imagine the membrane, the veneer, the varnish of success would thicken and marble into granite over time, and keep me safe from the real world – the world outside the front door – full of real lives, people feeling and falling, not onto the page, but onto their knees.
I have been falling onto my page for a long time. Today is the first day of my new life, not so much on my knees, but in the honest open air of vulnerability, loss, disappointment, distress, sheer wits and the always brooding unknown. I might not have the land I did back home, but I have the little brother I lost, who I could never speak of or write about. I have found my 15 year old self and freed her. I have reached out to my parents for help, to friends I barely know, to kind strangers. And it is all, ok.
I have survived and escaped with my life, all of my lives, and in some strange but incredible way – I am the fullest and happiest I have ever been. So – yes to asking for help, yes to accepting help, yes to feeling helpless and lost and fallible and all of those things I've been running from and escaping and creating from for far too long.
It turns out, the bright side of life is not all bright. It is actually, a murky in-between light, a bit of grey sky and a few splashes of blue, not all blearing serenity. The bright side of life is choosing to live.


Description Teachers and administrators across MISD will wear their college graduation regalia throughout the district to greet students and kick off the first annual College MavUP Week! Elementary students will start working on their College Pennant Project for their gallery walkthrough during their lunch period on Friday.
Do you want to delete all occurrences of the recurring appointment "College MavUP Week: District Regalia Day", or just this one?


In Penn State's opening three matches, Megan Courtney compiled team bests with 35 kills (3.89 per set) and 26 digs. She also had 12 blocks.
Penn State volleyball standout Megan Courtney knows the "correct" answer to the question, but she also offers a more realistic answer as well. Is there something "special" about facing No. 2 Stanford, which the No. 1 Nittany Lions will do Saturday at 8 p.m. ET on the Big Ten Network?
Courtney is a 6-foot-1 senior outside hitter who has started her entire career for coach Russ Rose. So she understands, from a preparation standpoint, that you can't make any match -- especially this early in the season -- bigger than the others.
Still, it is Stanford, the program with the second-most NCAA titles (six) behind Penn State's seven. Add in that the past two years, the Nittany Lions and the Cardinal have met in the NCAA tournament. In 2013, Penn State won in a five-set regional final that was as intense and well played as any match in that year's tournament. Last year, the Nittany Lions prevailed in a tight four-setter in the national semifinals.
"But ... Stanford is an incredible program. And our coach is good friends with the Stanford coach [John Dunning]. It's a friendly rivalry, but they both really want to win. Both coaches want to play the best teams to get ready for the NCAA tournament."
The other thing to consider is that both Penn State and Stanford have challenging opponents the day before they meet each other. In the opening matches of the Big Ten/Pac-12 Challenge at Penn State on Friday, the Cardinal face No. 6 Illinois, followed by the Nittany Lions against No. 21 Colorado.
So it's a big weekend. But as Courtney said, it shouldn't be made to be too big. Teams don't win NCAA titles in September, of course. But what you do in September is part of what leads to a championship.
"Because it's the little things that matter," Courtney said. "You add those up, and that's what will get you to your goal."
Senior Megan Courtney leads Penn State from her ability to play and her experience.
Courtney and her fellow seniors are going for their third consecutive NCAA title this season. She was the volleyball championship's most outstanding player last year and is one of the most well-rounded players in the collegiate game.
"Megan could easily be our starting setter or libero, too, because she's the best at both of those skills," Rose said. "She leads from her ability to play and her experience; we haven't had a lot of kids who have started for four years.
"She carries a bigger load, because when you're the MVP of the final four and win a national championship, your stock goes up. People know who you are, there's a little more attention placed on defending you and attacking you. But I think she has a great head on her shoulders, and she'll do as good a job as she possibly can do."
Courtney showed all her skills in Penn State's opening three matches last weekend, compiling team bests with 35 kills (3.89 per set) and 26 digs. She also had 12 blocks. As Rose said, she's the kind of player who helps Penn State in many ways.
She grew up in a volleyball family in Dayton, Ohio. Her parents, Rob and Sharon Courtney, both played the sport, as did her brother, Robbie, who is coaching it at the high school and club level.
When it came to picking a college, Courtney didn't have trouble deciding. She committed to the Nittany Lions during her junior year of high school and then tried to prepare for what it would be like to play at the college level in an atmosphere like Penn State's Rec Hall.
"I would come on visits and talk to the players who were here," Courtney said. "But you can't really do it justice by just seeing it on TV or even sitting in the stands. You have to experience it on court.
She carries a bigger load, because when you're the MVP of the final four and win a national championship, your stock goes up. People know who you are, there's a little more attention placed on defending you and attacking you.
"When you step out there the first time, it's just an incredible feeling you can't really describe. It's exactly what you wanted and worked for. But then you have to go back to reality really quickly. You get aced or something, and Coach is like, 'What are you doing? This isn't high school anymore.'"
Courtney laughs recalling how many times during her freshman season Rose would say that "it's not high school" line to her. By the same token, Rose always thoroughly prepares players for what they'll be experiencing during games.
"Every drill and practice is like game time. He makes it that way," Courtney said. "And just because you're a freshman doesn't mean he doesn't expect you to play confidently and smart. If you're on the court, he expects you to play like you've always played, not, 'Oh, I'm going to freak out.' But he doesn't set you up for failure. He gives you that mindset you need."
Now that she's a senior, Courtney is particularly aware not just of the example she sets for the younger players, but also of how she approaches the mentality of being a hitter. Meaning she's likely to encourage young players to swing away and go for the big kill whenever they're set, but she herself will be more judicious.
"As you get older, that's when you start to realize, as a freshman I could have 20 kills and 10 errors, and I'd think that was fine," Courtney said. "But as a junior or senior, you just can't have those 10 errors. That's what wins or loses matches. You have to be really conscious of mistakes. As you grow as a player, you understand error management and when to take a step back."
It's that kind of maturity and smart risk assessment -- done at game speed -- that gets players to the next level, too. And in Courtney's case, there is also her versatility that's really important.
"If Megan elects to play beyond college," Rose said, "she'll be a great professional player because she's so multifaceted."

Q: xgboost.core.XGBoostError: need to call fit beforehand - when trying to predict through a pickled model I have created an XGBoost classifier and dumped the python file using joblib in a dat fileformat.
I am able to load it using joblib but when I try to use the loaded model to predict on new data, I see the error
 xgboost.core.XGBoostError: need to call fit beforehand

The original model that i trained was:
 XGBClassifier(base_score=0.5, booster='gbtree', colsample_bylevel=1,
   colsample_bytree=0.6, eval_metric='error', gamma=0,
   learning_rate=0.125, max_delta_step=0, max_depth=8,
   min_child_weight=1, missing=None, n_estimators=600, n_jobs=1,
   nthread=None, objective='binary:logistic', random_state=0,
   reg_alpha=0.2, reg_lambda=0.8, scale_pos_weight=1, seed=None,
   silent=True, subsample=0.8)

The pickled model is:
XGBClassifier(base_score=0.5, booster='gbtree', colsample_bylevel=1,
   colsample_bytree=1, gamma=0, learning_rate=0.1, max_delta_step=0,
   max_depth=3, min_child_weight=1, missing=None, n_estimators=100,
   n_jobs=1, nthread=None, objective='binary:logistic',random_state=0,
   reg_alpha=0, reg_lambda=1, scale_pos_weight=1, seed=None,
   silent=True, subsample=1)

Any reason for the error and why both differ despite me saving and loading the same model?

A: Re-run your model with fit, save, and then load pipeline file like normal.
Save Model
joblib.dump(pipeline, "xgb1.joblib.dat")

load model from file
loaded_model = joblib.load("xgb1.joblib.dat")

After loading the model this way the error will go away. It did for me.

Look Out for The Android App Development Trends in 2023!
/Under Android App Development
As mobile application development has gained popularity, developers have developed innovative concepts for mobile application development. Consumer tastes, technological advancements, and other external factors all have technology on these trends. Check out the best android app development services.
One of the best methods for businesses to make themselves more available to their clients is mobile apps. Today, merely having a website is inadequate for businesses to generate income. App developers must stay current on current trends to provide innovative solutions.
Ready to know the latest android app development trends in 2022:
5G is a next-generation wireless technology that will exceed the current 4G/LTE technology. 5G technology is 1,000 times quicker than 4G networks and offers developers many new possibilities. With a max data transfer rate of 100 GBs, it is expected to be one of the most extensively used technologies for the fastest internet connection in the future years. According to Statista, around 3 billion 5G subscribers will be by the end of 2025.
Integration of IoT technologies
The Internet of Things (IoT) is not a novel concept in the app development industry. Technological improvements have already altered people's lives. The increased demand for mobile apps across multiple sectors has ushered in an era of boundless possibilities for the Internet of Things. This approach is quite versatile. Read about the best android app development services. It is a network of linked devices that enables consumers to easily and automatically operate their devices. One of the most popular examples is SMART HOME technology, which simplifies and improves life.
The foldable device technology is the future of mobile app development. The device is in greater demand due to its transformational capacity. It can be used anywhere, like a smartphone, and unfolds into a medium-sized tablet. Manufacturers of smartphones increasingly use folding technology to offer consumers bigger displays without increasing the device's overall size.
Instant apps
Instant apps were a long-awaited feature of the Android operating system, and they have grown in popularity since their introduction. Users may experiment with instant apps without downloading or installing them beforehand. This feature is accessible exclusively in premium apps. Because the apps may not function correctly on your smartphone, you should test them before using them. This approach will aid users in assessing the value of the payment. As the need for instant apps increases, developers will need to pay more attention to client expectations. The New York Times has already embraced this technology, and more firms will do so in the coming years.
The e-Commerce and gambling sectors benefit from instant app technology. Direct access to programs, a user-friendly UI/UX design and architecture, more storage capacity, and compatibility with Android apps are just a few of the benefits. Check out the best android app development services.
Blockchain technology effectively produces Android apps for banks, currency exchanges, and other enterprises. The most well-known use of blockchain technology is to power cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin. This technology offers a decentralized option for designing apps that encourage openness and limit unauthorized access and middlemen by using rigorous authentication mechanisms.
The capacity to establish a decentralized database is one of the most important features of blockchain. If there is a network interruption, the data is increased to enhance performance. Nowadays, people are increasingly concerned about their privacy; as a result, demand for blockchain technology will continue to grow in the future. Blockchain apps for Android increase the security and safety of cryptographic technologies.
Cloud computing has largely supplanted on-premises computing in recent years. Previously, poor user experience contributed to applications' market lag. Businesses have discovered that developing AI models that enhance the workflow of complicated activities has become simpler. This cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology has been shown to increase productivity by up to 45 percent.
Siri and Chatbots have become almost vital in mobile app development. By 2022, this technology will have a more significant influence on the industry. Apart from favourable results, this influence will be evident in the project's cost-effectiveness. All of this is achievable due to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) (Machine Learning).
Mobile apps are gaining popularity since they enable merchants and service providers to engage effectively with their customers. Google Maps now includes augmented reality in its new "Live See" function, enabling users to view real-time instructions on real-world images.
L'Oréal Paris, the world's biggest cosmetics company, uses augmented reality to provide consumers with various haircuts and colour options.
In the next years, augmented and virtual reality will take over the world. This technology is a hot topic of conversation among content producers, who may utilize it to make face filters for social media platforms like Instagram and Snapchat. In 2022 and beyond, AR will take control of sectors such as retail, engineering, and real estate.
Smartwatches, fitness trackers, and wristbands have been around for quite some time. Demand for wearable devices is likely to grow as the number of mobile app-integrated wearables on the market increases. Apple's most recent operating system, OS 6, incorporates the Apple Store into the Apple Watch. Users will be able to download hundreds of apps straight from their wrists, ensuring that the business sector continues to thrive.
Mobile commerce is distinguished from e-commerce by using native mobile apps rather than mobile web apps. M-Commerce enables users to make purchases without using their debit or credit cards. By 2024, mobile commerce is expected to earn $488 billion in sales, accounting for 44% of all internet income.
Native apps
Have you considered designing apps that run on several platforms? While building an app for several platforms is possible, this is a long and expensive process. It is when the advantage of utilizing a native app comes into play. It enables a single piece of software to be interoperable with various operating systems without modifying its codebase.
It might assist you in saving both time and money. App developers may create cross-platform apps for iOS, Android, Windows, and the web. Despite this technology's higher operating and maintenance costs, you may utilize it to develop an app that uses advanced mobile device capabilities and performance. Additionally, this trend might assist businesses in producing apps with a broader market reach at a lesser cost.
Android Application Development is a term that refers to the process of developing mobile phone code. It is the most recent technology to be developed in the business to increase the usage of digital marketing. Android app Development Company helps you maintain contact with your clients while producing high-quality products for your chosen sector. Our Android Development Company guarantees that our personnel gets further training regularly, allowing them to stay current on the latest advancements in mobile technology.
We generate effective and stunning mobile apps to connect the event crew and create a virtual pool of sophisticated specialist designers.

Should you move in with your partner if you're not ready to get married soon?
Date for more than marriage. I can support him as he changes without resenting him for not meeting my expectations. You never want to be away from their side. When you live together, you have to face the fight. People married because it was a primary societal value. Marriage is a big deal, so it requires a lot of meticulous thought — after all, a wedding day is supposed to be a once in a lifetime experience.
But when you are ready to marry, this will not seem like a sacrifice. They have less time to waste, and someone to help support — two spurs to hard work and ambition, not to mention that most employers prefer men who are married. But here's the most important part of this equation that most people miss: he isn't going to propose because he knows I'm not ready. All of her logic is derived from those ridiculous Cosmo advice columns and well-meaning, yet clueless girlfriends from college. It's called communication, and it's vital.
People didn't marry in the past only because they fell in love. After a certain point, being single becomes the norm and the thought of marrying becomes less, not more, appealing. Said by more and more Americans between the ages of 21 and 40 and some who are older than that , it usually qualifies as both meaningless and untrue. And people can fall in love and not marry — as happens frequently today. Men's income rises after marriage.
In college, their dorm rooms smelled like shorts and beer cans. People understood that it was better for society and for the vast majority of its members that as many individuals as possible commit to someone and take care of that person. Yes, it's ok to be a little selfish — meaning you should make yourself and your physical, mental, and social health a priority, but if you find it difficult to care about the health and happiness of your partner even a little bit, you have a problem. Sharing everything, from the silliest to the most intimate things about yourself with your spouse is one of the most special aspects of , so if you're not prepared for that or you feel the need to hide things from your partner for whatever reason, you're missing out on what could be. Throughout history most people got married at a much younger age than people today.
One is that, if you are a woman, the number of quality single men declines. Getting married itself does not necessarily force a person to grow up. This only applies in any significant way to those who marry as teenagers versus those who marry later. You Think Marriage Can Fix Your Relationship's Issues A Band-Aid marriage is as real as Many people think that making vows of commitment in a fancy get-up and then eating expensive shrimp platters afterwards will cement an unstable relationship, because it somehow gives a veneer of legal strength to the entire thing. Could all the joy you get from planning your wedding be supplied by If so, throw that party instead.
Getting married is a big deal. They become ready … once they become a parent. Another important sign that you're ready to get married is that you're able to have disagreements and disputes with your partner without worrying about harming your relationship. Said by more and more Americans between the ages of 21 and 40 and some who are older than that , it usually qualifies as both meaningless and untrue. One piece of luggage that must be handled: your ex. In other words, you can date a dude for years and improve as you go until, apparently, you reach my age or the five year mark and people shame you again.
She's ashamed at the thought of wanting more than he wants and she thinks I should stop talking about it with him and slowly start to withdraw and disconnect. Moreover, the latest data are that those who marry in their early 30s are more likely to divorce than those who marry on their late 20s. You cannot expect anyone else to rescue you and it is very likely that your current problems will persist into the marriage. The same holds true for becoming a parent. And if you don't, you should stop and think about your decision to get hitched. You Don't Have Any Time For Compromising You can be selfish.
We all need solo time and the freedom to make out own decisions. Among other things, when people stop taking care of one another, the state usually ends up doing so. More than any other conversations we've had, the ones we have about marriage show me just how solid and committed we already are. In fact, the same holds true for any difficult job. While compromise plays an important role in a relationship, it's important that you're not. Not surprisingly, research in the Journal of Family Psychology revealed that women who had doubts about their future husband prior to marriage were.
Moreover, the latest data are that those who marry in their early 30s are more likely to divorce than those who marry on their late 20s. A great partner and great friends, hint hint will work with you in our relationship not just for you, and should respect your needs not judge them. With time, you may come to realize that in order to successfully merge, you will have to compromise. This is a column that originally ran in 2015. But if you've still got on-off feelings for an ex and a severe emotional entanglement with them that just won't go away, you're not ready to fully legally and emotionally commit to another person.
People married because it was a primary societal value. But there are a couple of pre-wedding concerns that should have red flags attached to them. Absolute trust is essential for a healthy, long-term relationship to stand the test of time. If you feel you should get married because you don't think you can do any better, you're afraid of being by yourself, or you simply want a big reception in your honor, your marriage will likely be unpleasant and unfulfilling. . If this is the real deal, love will last, giving you more time to better assess everything about your mate—the good and the not-so-good—so that you can walk down the aisle truly knowing who this person is.
