Staples Gets a New Look and Feel through Brand Revamp
By Jessica Guyon
Staples announced its plans to completely transform its digital and delivery brand strategy as it relates to engagement with business customers both large and small. The new approach will be driven by a goal to help professionals "make their workplaces more productive and connected, and to provide products and services designed to help inspire colleagues to do their best, most creative work." The Dealerscope Top 101 company believes that our jobs hold more value than simply being a way to pay the bills.
"Our customers have a passion for making their workplace the best it can be," said Sandy Douglas, Staples' Chief Executive Officer. "At Staples, we share that passion. Worklife fulfillment is about helping businesses of all sizes as they create the most dynamic and productive work environments for their teams."
One of the first changes to come will be a new logo signaling the brand evolution from its beginnings in 1986. Instead of a staple formed out of the letter "L," the staple will now be at the beginning of the company name along with a new font.

Canadian Judge Orders Google to Identify Creator of Website Criticizing Antifa
A judge in Nova Scotia has ordered Google to turn over the identity of the creator of a website that criticizes Antifa over accusations of "cyber bullying."
The website, which is no longer online, was a blog about far-left extremists, called "Antifa: Exposed."
Breitbart News reports that the request for the website owner's identity comes after a complaint from a Nova Scotia couple, Darius Mirshahi and Sakura Saunders, who the blog had alleged were leaders in a Canadian branch of the far-left anarcho-communist Antifa group.
The Breitbart report notes that Saunders, "described as a social justice activist in court filings, is an American-born far-left activist and her anarchy-themed wedding to her partner was detailed in 2012 by alternative Edmonton-based newspaper Vue Weekly."
Antifa Exposed published photos from the wedding, showing that prominent Antifa anarchists were among the guests.
"The blog alleges the applicants are a member and a leader of a domestic terrorist organization, which uses extreme violence against those they disagree with the intent of destroying civilization," the couple said in a recent court filing. "The blog alleges the applicant Sakura Saunders made trips to Australia to organize student riots. The blog alleges the applicant Sakura Saunders engages in criminal projects."
The affidavit went on to claim "that the Blog, and Undercoverkity have caused them psychological stress and fear that they will be targeted with violence."
A lawyer for the far-left activists claimed that the blogger's intent "is to promote fear and hatred towards the applicants. Labelling individuals terrorists, and sinister criminals intent on destroying civilization is offensive and dangerous."
The request for the blog author's identity was granted under the new, and rarely used, Intimate Images and Cyber-protection Act, Nova Scotia legislation that was introduced in 2017, according to a report from the CBC.

making new little cute baby tiger =) 5.3.2008, Schönbrunn Vienna.
hoffentlich wirds auch hier was =) 11.3.2008, Vienna, Schönbrunn mating or is this some kind of play/fight?


We were recently sent some of the fabulous new toys which were based on the Disney Vampirina cartoons. Amelia adores this kind of thing as its vampires and well she is a little zombie and all things dark obsessed.
Within the Bootastic Backpack set are obviously the back pack itself, a necklace that when pressed says phrases from the show, a keyring showing Vampirina which can be attached to the side of the backpack, hair clips, glasses and 2 sheets of stickers.
The backpack is hard plastic so a little unpractical for school as you wouldn't fit books etc inside but it could be great for nursery and a great talking point amongst little friends. Amelia thinks its great for carrying things around the house and general play, all of the accessories that came with it can fit neatly inside too.
There is more than enough space to pop extras inside too which Amelia loves as she has a teddy that goes everywhere with her and now at least we know he is safe in the backpack and not left on the bus seat or on the counter in Asda! Yes we have been in this situation many times!
Overall she loves the whole set of goodies and it is a great practical gift too what with the festive season that must not be named yet is approaching quicker than I care to think about!
The backpack retails for £24.99 and is available from all good toy stores.
We were kindly sent this for the purpose of the review, all views and opinions are our own and genuine. This post contains affiliate links.

Eustacio Dafnomeles (,  principios del ) fue un estratego y patricio bizantino que se distinguió en la conquista bizantina de Bulgaria. Se ubica como uno de los generales más prominentes y exitosos en la guerra de treinta años entre el emperador Basilio II y Samuel de Bulgaria, ayudando a poner fin al largo conflicto al cegar y capturar el último jefe búlgaro, Ivats, en 1018.

Biografía

La principal fuente que describe la vida de Dafnomeles, y de hecho las campañas búlgaras (986-1018) del emperador Basilio II, es la Synopsis Historion de Juan Escilitzes de finales del , cuya cronología es a menudo problemática de reconstruir. Dafnomeles provenía de la aristocracia terrateniente de Asia Menor, que durante siglos proporcionó la élite militar bizantina. La historiografía tradicional sitúa su primera aparición alrededor de 1005, cuando se dice que la ciudad portuaria adriática de Dirraquio fue entregada por Juan Criselio, un magnate local, a los bizantinos. Dafnomeles, al frente de una flota, tomó posesión de la ciudad. Sin embargo, dada la narrativa cronológicamente poco clara de Escilitzes, es posible que este episodio refleje su nombramiento posterior (después de 1018) como estratego (gobernador militar) de la ciudad.

Dafnomeles participó en los conflictos posteriores contra el zar Samuel, pero su mayor hazaña fue la captura del caudillo búlgaro Ivats en 1018, por lo que se le otorgó una posición destacada en la obra de Escilitzes. Tras la derrota en la batalla de Clidio en 1014, la resistencia búlgara comenzó a colapsar. En 1018, la mayoría de los comandantes búlgaros se habían rendido, y solo Ivats, que se había retirado con sus seguidores a la propiedad real de Pronista, una posición montañosa naturalmente fuerte y defendible, continuó resistiendo. Rechazó tanto los sobornos como las amenazas de los bizantinos, y durante 55 días, el ejército bizantino del emperador Basilio II permaneció acampado en Deabolis cerca, esperando su rendición. En ese momento, y mientras las multitudes locales se reunían en el palacio de Ibatzes para la fiesta de la Dormición, Dafnomeles, ahora estratego de la cercana Ocrida, por su propia iniciativa, resolvió poner fin al estancamiento. Con solo dos escoltas, subió el camino a la finca y se anunció a Ivats. Ivats, creyendo que Dafnomeles no habría venido solo a menos que tuviera la intención de forjar una alianza contra Basilio II, se retiró con el estratego a un claro bosque aislado en los jardines para una discusión privada. Allí, Dafnomeles y sus dos asociados ocultos se abalanzaron sobre el general búlgaro, lo cegaron y lo llevaron al piso superior del palacio, entre la multitud reunida que estaba demasiado aturdida para reaccionar. Cuando los búlgaros se recuperaron, se reunieron debajo del edificio pidiendo venganza. Sin embargo, Dafnomeles se dirigió a ellos y logró convencerlos de la inutilidad de una mayor resistencia, y deponer las armas y pedir el perdón del emperador.

La captura de Ivats el 15 de agosto de 1018 puso fin al largo conflicto entre Bizancio y Bulgaria, y, según el bizantinista Paul Stephenson, aseguró para Dafnomeles, junto con Nicéforo Urano y Nicéforo Xifias, la reputación de uno de los generales más destacados y exitosos de las guerras búlgaras de Basilio II.

Después de su hazaña, Dafnomeles fue nombrado estratego del Thema de Dirraquio por un emperador agradecido, y teniendo en cuenta toda la riqueza móvil de Ivats como recompensa. En 1029, sin embargo, fue acusado de conspirar con otros gobernadores prominentes de los Balcanes para derrocar al emperador Romano III Argiro a favor del dux Constantino Diógenes. Después, los acusados fueron devueltos a Constantinopla, golpeados, paseados por la Mese y desterrados. No se sabe nada más de Dafnomeles.

For Sri Lanka, India comes first – President
Posted in Local News
President Mahinda Rajapaksa said he considers India first and others later."As soon as I came to power, I went to India and got their support; after that, I did not have to bother about the UN, UK, US, and so on. In fact, we got help from the US by way of vital information about LTTE ships which made it possible to destroy them at sea," he said in an interview with Deccan Chronicle in Colombo.
"As for China coming here with major infrastructure projects, I must tell you that every project that we gave the Chinese we first offered to India, including the big port project in Hambantota, but there was no response. Even the Colombo port expansion was advertised but only the Chinese came," President Rajapaksa said. Asked whether the Tamil National Alliance's (TNA) victory at the last Parliamentary election indicated the existence of a strong demand for autonomy in spite of the elimination of the LTTE in view of the claims by the Jaffna Chamber of Commerce (JCC) that the Tamil Diaspora will not invest in the country until there is a political solution, the President said: "These elections were held under the proportional representation system. There was also a substantial number that voted against the TNA. You must note that 54 percent of Tamils live outside the north and the east. The JCC is free to have its opinion, but there are Sri Lankan Tamils abroad who have shown interest in investing in the north.
We are keen on a sustainable political settlement. But it must have wide acceptance, especially in the context of the post-conflict situation."
President Rajapaksa also said regional autonomy was a slogan used by the terrorists and their apologists. "The need is for strong unity in diversity, for which regional autonomy is not the only way. A better approach would be equality of opportunity, and the spread of democratic freedom and rights, together with speedy economic development of the north, in tandem with other regions of the country," he said.
The President also said the Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) is a good approach to what has been a vexed problem because in a democracy it is Parliament that will ultimately have to agree to any solution. "Unfortunately, the TNA has not named its representatives to the PSC. They (TNA) have the same attitude as the LTTE. They demand impossible things – merger of the north and the east, land policy and Police. See what happened in your country when Rahul Gandhi was travelling in Uttar Pradesh. Chief minister Mayawati tried to get him arrested. Do you think I want to get arrested by these people (by giving the Tamils a police force)?," he asked.
"The TNA seems to be driven by the Tamil diaspora, which does not want peace and political settlement, as they fear that their host countries might then send them back home. The TNA cannot represent the same separatist agenda of the LTTE, which will not find acceptance with the majority population. I want to work towards a solution but the TNA is not cooperating," the President said.
Brushing aside complaints that the North remains highly militarized and that over 100,000 troops policing about 300,000 people, the President said:
"There are more than 300,000 Tamils in the north. The military presence is not worked out in proportion to the population but the security needs of the region. The presence of the military in an area that has seen brutal armed conflict for nearly three decades does not amount to militarisation. "The military is playing a significant role in building infrastructure as the locals lack skills. Also, large sections of the north are yet to be de-mined. It is not true that school functions or library meetings and such activities require the permission of the military. But there could be cautious surveillance, knowing the nature of the defeated enemy. We are still getting hidden arms caches of the LTTE. The presence of the military will be phased out in keeping with security needs."

The purpose of this paper is to establish an image classification method which properly considers the spatial quantisation effect of digital imagery and its inevitable consequence, the presence of mixels. To achieve this goal, we propose two new probabilistic models, namely the area proportion distribution and mixel distribution. The former probabilistic model serves as the prior distribution of area proportions that reflect the internal structure of mixels, and Beta distribution is proposed as the general model of the area proportion distribution. On the other hand, the latter probabilistic model is a unique model both in concept and shape, and its uniqueness is the source of its effectiveness against an image histogram which can be represented by a set of trough and peak regions by means of the mixel distributions and pure pixel distributions, respectively. Moreover, the expected area proportion is proposed for computing the area proportions of mixels. Finally, experimental results on satellite image classification are analysed to validate the effectiveness of our proposed probabilistic models. By comparing the mixture density model with our proposed models to those without them, we conclude that, both in terms of quantitative and qualitative evaluation, our probabilistic models work effectively for images with the presence of mixels.

Q: .json is being overwriten with json.dump I am coding a small game. I have a .json file with the names and scores of everyone that has already played the game.
First,  I import from the .json file my player's names into an array.
Second, I check if the player's name is in the array.

*

*if it is, there is a welcome back message

*if it is not, there is a welcome message, and the name is added to the .json file.

I receive no errors from this code,  but every-time I input a name, it overwrites the .json file.
The result is that every name is considered to be new in my python based game,  so the "welcome-message" is always displayed.

Thanks for your help :)

A:     with open("player.json", "w") as jsonFile:
        json.dump(nom, jsonFile)

This dumps a single name into the file, and so when you load the file again for entry in data: will be looping over a single string giving you each character in it. You probably meant to add nom to noms and then dump noms here.

MKMMA Week 2 – Obstacles – are they self imposed?
Week 2 of my second round of the MKMMA experience and I was faced with obstacles which seemed to impede my progress in the course. I wrote of facing obstacles previously (https://masterkeymiltona.wordpress.com/2015/11/08/week-6-mkmma-ordinary-life-vs-extraordinary-life/) wherein I questioned whether I wanted an ordinary life or an extraordinary life. My choice – an extraordinary life.
However, when faced with obstacles again I seemed to have somewhat lost my momentum to achieving an extraordinary life (or perhaps its just my gratitude for life that is flailing). As I reflect on my last post the obstacles I wrote of seem frivolous in comparison to what life has put in my path now. As I write this I am finding it difficult to find the words to explain the "obstacle" that has been put in my path so perhaps the best way is to be factual – my 15 year old son is suffering from acute first episode psychosis. As a result he has been hopsitalised for almost 6 weeks and at times does not recognise me as his mother.
I have grieved the loss of my son as he once was and am working on embracing my son for who he is now and who he will be. I truly believe that everything happens for a reason however, I at this stage I unable to grasp that reason.
I will share the answer with you soon.
When we choose to grow and expand as individuals the world around us grows and expands and the opposite is exactly true.
Round 2 of MKMMA and I hear myself again repeating the words "Today I begin a new a life". This time when I repeat the words the doubt that once existed has diminished. This time my conviction is real and this time I truly believe I deserve a new life. A new life where my desires are my just reward – a life where I no longer fear success.
Fear of success debilitated me. It sounds absurd to admit that I was fearful of success but it is my painful truth. I fed my "mysterious mind that never sleeps" with information that crippled me, that held me back from making choices that would propel me to fulfilling my life's purpose. Why? Because I believed that if I became successful, if I achieved all that I desired and if I were truly happy I would lose those that are closest to me. What the? Complete absurdity but that mysterious mind of mine held me with a mighty grip. That was until I took my power back and chose to release myself.
You see that mysterious mind of ours truly is mysterious but only if we let it remain masked. Once we learn how to wield it, like a knight wields his sword the power we possess is truly mighty.
What's amazing is that this power does not discriminate it is within all of us if only we choose to embrace it.
For me my journey of self-discovery has taken me on wonderful adventures, taught me immeasurable lessons and brought more love and compassion into my life than I ever believed possible – many of which I previously believed I did not deserve.
BUT what I know now is that I deserve all this and more. I DESERVE SUCCESS – in fact it is my duty to be successful. It is a duty I owe to myself, to my family, to my community, to the global community and to the universe. I was not put on this earth to live a mediocre life. I was put on this earth (as are we all) to live a great and fulfilling life.
SO "Today I begin a new life" and no longer will I fear success. I will embrace my journey, overcome my fears and live a great and fulfilling life.
I invite you to do the same and if you are willing to share one thing you wish to embrace as you too make the choice today, to begin a new life I would be grateful to receive your comments below.
I am truly grateful to the MKMMA team and the teachings. Grateful beyond words. And grateful to my blogging buddies and twitter tweeters. I just read in Barbara's blog about the Bees. I feel we are all the bees and the hive is like the MKMMA… Awesome!
I'm feeling to blog what I have just experienced. I was listening to the Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattle and even though I read this book 5 years ago… it didn't sink in as it did today.
The past couple of weeks have been a little emotional for me. I have thought deeply about the concept of my "dash" and the moments and memories I want my dash to consist of.
These thoughts combined with my concentrated thought and focus on observing and demonstrating decisiveness lead me to some amazing manifestations – memorable moments that make up my dash.
I realised that in those moments of decisiveness the very thing I decided upon manifested into reality. The most recent of which I will share with you.
For over two years I had contemplated embarking on an adventure that would see me walk 100 kms (approx 62 miles) in 48 hours through bush land to raise funds for charity (Oxfam).
In my week of decisiveness I made the heroic decision that 2016 would be my year. The cost alone would have been enough to deter me previously but I did not waiver. The new me could not allow it.
How was I to come up with the funds to register and put a team together. Low and behold the universe provided me with the resources I needed to register – a sponsor (who paid for the registration) and 3 willing participates to join me on my adventure.
Then I had to think about training. Although I have enjoyed the odd hike or two and had the pleasure of hiking the mountains of Annapurna, Nepal (https://masterkeymiltona.wordpress.com/2016/01/12/mkmma-week-14-escape-to-the-wild/) I have never prepared myself physically or mentally for such a challenge.
What was I to do? Contact a gym of course and seek a trainer that would assist me on this great adventure. Again I was concerned about finances and the cost of engaging a personal trainer where not in my budget. But again the universe provided – My local gym offered us free personal training.
In moments of doubt (and I have a few of those) I will remember that I am amazing at manifesting thought into reality and so are you!
I must admit that I still need practice at concentrating on the very thing(s) I desire (as opposed to concentrating on undesirable conditions), particularly now that I am becoming more aware of the amazing power within me to manifest both desirable and undesirable conditions.
I have decided that my dash will be the greatest adventure story ever!
I would be grateful if you could spare some loose change and help my team reach our fundraising goals https://trailwalker.oxfam.org.au/my/team/24790.
I wrote of knowing of a power prescribed only to me, a power I needed to harness in order to strike my uncomfortableness without hesitation.
On further reflection not only did taking responsibility and being accountable for my life make me uncomfortable but it was the fear of judgement and the fear of failure that paralysed my ability to harness my power.
What if my choices were not held in high esteem of others? Would I be deemed a failure? These questions frequented my reasoning (or lack of).
Reality check – No longer could my life be in the hands of another (and why should it? after all this is my life).
It was only through repose I was able to do strike my uncomfortableness with utter fearlessness. In one short moment I wielded my hefty sword high into the heavens and struck my uncomfortableness with an unmeasurable force. The effect of my strike was not bloodshed as some may picture but rather the opposite – A MIRACLE – the expulsion of an iridescent light from my target flooded my surroundings. I did not defeat my dragon. I mastered it. At that moment I felt I took my first step on my journey to atonement. I am destined to be FREE!
I invite you to share your story of your mastering your dragon/s.

The client had developed a basic floor plan/layout and looked to SPEC to provide initial design services to help them master plan the space and develop an up-front budget appropriate for capital approval. SPEC developed a preliminary budget and schedule for the client provided floor plan as a "base case," as well as for the three options identified during the review process. Once MicroChem had chosen an option, SPEC executed a round of value engineering; which ultimately became the scope basis for the project. SPEC then proceeded to finalize design, procure equipment and subcontractors, and ultimately execute the project.

In 1927, Texas gospel bluesman Blind Willie Johnson recorded "Dark Was the Night—Cold Was the Ground" with Columbia Records. He borrowed the title from an 18th century English hymn by Thomas Haweis: Dark was the night, cold was the ground on which the Lord was laid; His sweat, like drops of blood, ran down; In agony he prayed. There are no lyrics to Johnson's piece, but the agony is clear. It's a truly sobering piece of music, but one that perfectly encapsulates the suffering and sadness of Christ's death. Johnson's music, while as bluesy and raw as anything you'll hear, stays committed to the persistent hope of Christ. Whether holding onto the promises on "God Don't Never Change" or hopefully stomping to "Jesus Is Coming Soon," Johnson stayed affixed to the gospel. Songs like "John the Revelator" and "Trouble Will Soon Be Over" focused on Christ's return, a consistent theme in Johnson's work.

Brief overview of the Building Act 2011
The Building Act 2011 (Act) provides flexibility and choice for both builders and consumers when making the suite of building applications.
Amongst other things, the Act separates the process of certifying that a building design complies with applicable building standards (generally the National Construction Code) from the administrative process of the Local Government (Permit Authority) issuing building approval in the form of a Building Permit.
For Building Permits, a Certificate of Design Compliance (CDC) is issued by a registered Building Surveyor, either in the private sector or as an employee of a Local Government. The CDC confirms that the proposed building design complies with all of the applicable building standards.
Once a CDC and all of the relevant documents have been provided to the Permit Authority and all other aspects of the Act have been satisfied, such as Planning and Health requirements, the Permit Authority can issue a Building Permit which allows the person named as the builder on the Building Permit to commence building works.
The Act also deals with matters such as Occupancy Permits, Demolition Permits, Retrospective Building Approval, inspections and compliance matters such as Building Orders and the process of application and approval as set out in the Act.
The Local Government administers the Building Act 2011, and the associated Building Regulations 2012 and has various powers to ensure compliance with it.
More information on building legislation and standards can be found on the Building Commission website.

I received the Spin & Go Xtreme Cruiser as a Step2 Ambassador. All opinions are mine alone.
It isn't often that a new toy comes along that is so monumental it really blows me away. Sure, I get smitten when I find something new and fun for the kids. I've even been known to be a little giddy when they finally arrive. But oh.my.gosh. have I got something fantabulous to share with you! It's just. Whoa. Have you ever wondered what the ultimate big kid toy would look like if it was built like a remote control tank, but giant and strong enough to fit a child inside? Well wonder no longer, because the coolest ride on toy around is here!
As you know I'm a Step2 Ambassador, and with that my kids have gotten some pretty out of this world toys throughout the year. But believe me when I say NOTHING has been quite so exciting as the Spin & Go Xtreme Cruiser. I have been waiting on this baby ALL year long, and now that it has finally hit the production floor I can share it with you! I know what you're thinking, what exactly IS this cruiser? Well, before we get into the details watch this to see it in action.
Mind = blown, right? This is the very first motorized ride on that Step2 has ever made and they absolutely knocked it out of the park! Luckily Judah was at school when it was delivered, but he was more excited than I've ever seen him as soon as hewalked in to see the box. Oh yeah, the box! When he isn't cruising around the yard he is playing in the box with Kaia. They even had me cut out some windows from the sides of it so they could play peek-a-boo!
So now lets get into just what makes the Spin & Go Xtreme Cruiser so special. The way it works is your child sits in the seat, grabs the joysticks and pushes the foot pedal to make the cruiser move. I love the two part activation because it adds an extra safety measure in that if someone were to accidentally move a joystick it won't go shooting off when it shouldn't.
The sitting area is perfect for big kids – Judah is 4.5 years old and pretty average size and it is roomy enough for him to grow. Under the seat is a 12-volt battery that powers the whole thing, and you can easily charge it by flipping up a tab below the seat and plugging it into a standard wall outlet. Super simple, eh? Beside the charging port is a speed switch that you can flip for the cruiser to go from 2.5mph to 5mph for those that like a little more thrill (we stick with the lower speed for now).
I love how rugged the cruiser is. It is made from heavy duty plastic and the tires have big treads that make it great for grass, dirt and most flat surfaces. It does best on grass and dirt for us, but I would be careful using it on pavement because it could scratch the tires a bit. And of course the stickers make it adorable and help give it that real life feel – the first time Judah drove it he said "Wow mama, I've got a car now!" How cute is that?
This cruiser is made for big kids (ages 4-8) so I would keep it away from the littles, and be sure to always supervise when your child is in it. I know that tech toys normally reign supreme this time of year, but if you are looking for a rugged, all in one ultimate awesome toy then you are definitely going to want this under (er..beside) the tree!
So where can you find the Spin & Go Cruiser? Like I said earlier, this product is BRAND NEW and available exclusively at Walmart.com for $249. Check it out and grab yours today!

Boyd Gaming Stock Has Array of Upside Sparks, Analyst Raises Estimates
Posted on: April 1, 2021, 08:22h.
Boyd Gaming (NYSE:BYD) stock is a catalyst-rich story, with plenty of levers to pull to generate upside, despite already being up 37.37 percent year-to-date.
A large crowd awaits entertainment outside the Fremont Street Experience in downtown Las Vegas, where Boyd Gaming is the dominant operator. An analyst sees multiple reasons for the stock to surge. (Image: VegasExperience.com)
That's the take of Stifel analyst Steven Wieczynski, who, in a note to clients Thursday, reiterates a "buy" rating on the Orleans operator, while lifting his price target to $70 from $60. That new forecast implies upside of 18.6 percent from the March 31 close. His new view comes less than two months after he last boosted his projection on the regional gaming name.
Longer-term, we continue to believe spending/visitation trends will remain relatively healthy across the majority of BYD's operating markets, while their diminishing cost structure should ultimately allow for greater flow-through," said Wieczynski.
He raised his 2021 through 2023 revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and restructuring or rent costs (EBITDAR) estimates on the gaming name.
Adding to the Boyd bull case is that many of the cost reductions the operator realized during the coronavirus pandemic are likely to remain permanent. That's even as business normalizes and old revenue streams are replenished. Those efficiencies are part of what's becoming an increasingly attractive margin expansion story for the Aliante operator.
Plenty of Reasons to Like Boyd Stock
Las Vegas-based Boyd operates 28 gaming venues across 10 states, including 11 in its home market. Between its dominant positioning in downtown Sin City and its regional portfolio, the company is levered to key demographics, such as Las Vegas locals (LVLs) and the 55-and-up age group.
Older gamblers largely sat out initial coronavirus reopenings, limiting rebounds for regional operators. With vaccines becoming more accessible, a wave of pent-up demand from the 55+ demographic could soon be unleashed, supporting gross gaming revenue (GGR) recovery in the second half of this year.
"The 55+ age demographic has play levels that are down over 40%, and we expect this demographic to return quickly in 2H21, which will support and boost regional GGR trends," said Wieczynski.
He adds that a combination of improved marketing schemes, lower labor costs, and the elimination of some profit-sapping amenities could help Boyd expand margins by 500 to 1,000 basis points relative to pre-pandemic levels.
Underappreciated Sports Betting Story
Boyd stock usually isn't viewed as a sports wagering play. But the company owns five percent of FanDuel — a trait the investment community may not fully appreciate.
The sports betting euphoria trade should continue to play out," notes Wieczynski.
"We believe there are 8-12 states that could go down the path of legalizing sports betting this year, which should continue to support long-term total addressable market estimates (no matter how crazy they are). Investors will start to understand that BYD's five percent ownership stake in FanDuel is undervalued," he continued.
There is something to the notion that Boyd's FanDuel stake isn't fully reflected in the former's stock price. Should parent Flutter Entertainment (OTC:PDYPY) proceed with spinning out the sportsbook operators at a valuation comparable to that of rival DraftKings (NASDAQ:DKNG), FanDuel could be worth roughly $25 billion or more.
That means Boyd's stake is hypothetically worth $1.25 billion, or about 19 percent of its current market capitalization.

Q: Bootstrap navbar not visible in IE8 I know this question has been asked several times and i checked through all the possible solutions but none worked perfectly for me.
Here is my problem:
I am using bootstrap 3.2 and i have created a navbar working perfectly in chrome, firefox and latest IE but not in IE8,7. I tried adding the following files but it didnt help:

It appears that respond.js only works for local files. The referenced stackoverflow article mentions tring your website on IE8 with a local copy of bootstrap.css. Hope this helps.


We are coming into tomato season here in Australia and every year I am asked many times what people can do with their never ending home grown supply of tomatoes.

Australia's appalling Timor legacy and why it matters
Independent Australia - April 22, 2022
Peter Job – May 20 will mark 20 years of independence for Australia's near neighbour, the nation of Timor-Leste.
On that day in 2002, the United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor handed over power to the new Government, reinstating independence to the people of Timor-Leste almost 27 years after it was wrenched from them in a brutal invasion and occupation that took the lives of up to a third of the population.
The extent of these atrocities, the prolonged resistance of the Timorese people in confronting such adversity and their final achievement of independence in the face of what many observers regarded as impossible odds should be regarded as amongst the most significant events in our region in living memory.
While there is some public understanding of the role Australia played in the final transition to independence, the crucial role Australia played during the lead up to the invasion in 1975 and during the occupation itself is not well known or understood.
My recent book, "A Narrative of Denial: Australian and the Indonesian violation of East Timor", a study of Australian Timor policy during the years 1975 to 1983, seeks to remedy this.
Australian Timor policy in the period covered in the book is important in its own right for a number of reasons. It was during these years that the violence against the Timorese people was at its height and that the majority of people who lost their lives during the occupation died.
It was during these years that the Indonesian military campaign of "encirclement and annihilation" destroyed rural food resources, forcing hundreds of thousands of Timorese from their homes and creating the artificial famine that took the majority of the lives lost during the occupation.
This was accompanied by other widespread human rights violations, including torture, sexual violence, murder and detention.
Public understanding of this issue is largely based upon the contention Australia was not in a position to greatly influence these events. My research, based upon the examination of tens of thousands of Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) documents and other sources, demonstrates otherwise.
It reveals that were it not for Australian actions the invasion would have been unlikely to have taken place at all. Furthermore, it demonstrates that Australia's role as the Suharto regime's apologist and propagandist in the international arena after the invasion was a crucial factor in allowing these abuses to continue.
Prime Minister Gough Whitlam played a key role in encouraging an Indonesian invasion, first by sending his personal secretary to Jakarta in 1974 to encourage the hard-line OPSUS faction (a security and combat intelligence unit) within the Suharto regime to work for an Indonesian takeover.
This was followed by two meetings between Whitlam and Suharto in Jogjakarta and Townsville in which he strongly asserted that an independent East Timor would be unwelcome by Australia and an Indonesian incorporation welcomed. The Suharto regime was at that time divided on the Timor issue, with Foreign Minister Adam Malik deeply concerned the impact an intervention would have on Indonesia's position in the international community, including in the Non-Aligned Movement in which it sought a leading role.
Malik initially sought a position accepting of the possibility of an independent East Timor, but the key support provided by Australia to the hard-line OPSUS faction greatly strengthened the hand of the interventionists. Senior OPSUS figures later said they regarded the Whitlam position as a "green light" for intervention.
The bulk of my research concerns the Fraser Government, which was in power during the invasion itself and in the period of the occupation during which the worst atrocities occurred.
Like Whitlam, Malcolm Fraser considered good relations with the Suharto regime crucial to a foreign policy agenda oriented around supporting pro-Western governments in the region and containing communism, particularly in the wake of the unification of Vietnam and the coming to power of Marxist regimes in Laos and Cambodia.
During the years of the most violent subjection of the Timorese people, the Fraser Government protected the Suharto regime from scrutiny in both the domestic and international arenas, propagating a false narrative of the events leading to the invasion and denying evidence of atrocities.
When mounting evidence made this unfeasible it shifted to blaming the mass starvation on Timorese underdevelopment and the actions of the Timorese people themselves rather than the purposefully implemented campaign of "encirclement and annihilation" that was in fact responsible for it.
At the United Nations, it lobbied on a country-to-country basis to deny evidence of abuses, temper concerns, head off inquiries and attempt to remove the matter from the UN agenda. With Australia seen by many as a democratic country that respected human rights with expertise on the Timor issue due to its proximity, this Australian lobbying supported the Indonesian narrative and convinced many that claims regarding the dire situation were untrue.
This allowed the Suharto regime to continue its abuses relatively unhindered, a situation that undoubtedly cost many lives.
The issue of Timor Sea resources played a role under both Whitlam and Fraser. In arguing for an acceptance of an Indonesian takeover before the invasion senior DFA figures noted that Indonesia would be likely to settle for more favourable terms than an independent East Timor, while under Fraser recognition of Indonesian sovereignty was linked to negotiations on the Timor Sea Gap.
That said, my research indicates that it was strategic and Cold War considerations that were the primary drivers of policy, with the Timor Sea issue providing further impetus to an already established policy direction. This of course does not make Australian conduct on the Timor Sea issue any less outrageous. The theft of Timorese revenues should be regarded as a major crime perpetuated by Australia against an impoverished neighbour recovering from an extensive conflict in which Australia was complicit.
Understanding the key role Australia played in supporting the violation of the Timorese people and the multidimensional factors that led to our country's outrageous and destructive conduct is vital if we are ever to come to terms with what our government did.
This requires an understanding of the theft of Timor Sea resources, but also of other factors that motivated our complicity in the massive violation of human rights that occurred in one of our nearest neighbours. Australians who value human rights should campaign for an apology to the people of Timor-Leste by the Australian Parliament.
This should be accompanied by recompense, not only for the stolen revenues of the Timor Sea, but for the Australian role in facilitating the catastrophe inflicted upon the Timorese people over the decades of occupation.

What are they finding? Secret underground airfields!
Sunchon appears to have a "1350 meter taxiway extend[ing] from the UGF [underground facility] to a point beyond the main parking aprons. This taxiway may in fact be an auxiliary runway, allowing aircraft to be prepared for flight while concealed within the UGF and then launched with little or no warning for a strike" against South Korea.
There's a lot going on in the article.
For one thing, there is the glorious Thunderbirds/Voltron/Power Rangers (pick according to age and nostalgia) resonance.
For another, think about profoundly weird the balance between information and analysis has shifted in this arena. Instead of carefully hoarded classified satellite imagery, we have such a surfeit of data that it's worthwhile to just let amateurs run amok.

The University of Cincinnati Bearcats Baseball Team Wins AAC Championship and Storms into NCAA Regionals
Twitter: @BearcatsRadio /// Instagram/Facebook: BearcatsSportsRadio	May 26, 2019
For the first time since 1974, the University of Cincinnati Bearcats baseball team will play in the NCAA tournament. After besting Memphis (11-6), Tulane (8-4), UCF (10-6), and absolutely obliterating the UConn Huskies in Clearwater, Florida (22-5), the Bearcats captured the American Athletic Conference Championship. By winning the Conference Tournament, UC now has a spot in the NCAA Regionals for the first time in over four decades.
For scale, in 1974 (45 years ago)…
Richard Nixon resigned the Presidency for his involvement in directing the break in at the Watergate Hotel.
Muhammad Ali knocked out George Foreman in The Rumble in the Jungle.
Serial killer Ted Bundy was still on the loose.
There was a super-outbreak of tornadoes, 148 in total, that killed 315 and injured 5,000.
The Cleveland Indians held a Ten Cent Beer Night (up to six cups at a time) against the Texas Rangers, which ended with drunken violence spilling onto the field after a 19 year old ran into the field of play and tried to steal a Rangers outfielder's hat.
No one had the Internet.
This much is evident, the Scott Googins rebuild is well underway at the University of Cincinnati, and ahead of schedule. Coming into the season, the Bearcats were predicted to finish worst in the league after turning over most of the roster through graduations. Instead, they just captured the Conference Title and head to the double elimination NCAA Regionals as one of the most intimidating 4 seeds.
In 90+ degree Clearwater, UC's bats were white hot. Googins' squad averaged over 10 runs a game after only crossing that scoring threshold six times during the regular season.
As astute readers may recall, Googins built Xavier's baseball program into an unlikely power. Googins led the Musketeers to play in the NCAA Regionals or Regional Finals in three of his last four seasons prior to being recruited away by Mike Bohn (and Luke Fickell). Now Googins appears to be building a behemoth in Clifton, which is remarkable with such an inexperienced team.
Up next, the University of Cincinnati will play in the NCAA Regionals. The tournament field will be revealed tomorrow, May 27th, at Noon on ESPNU. The Bearcats' fabled "Road to Omaha" will then begin next weekend as the Regionals are played Friday, May 31st – Monday, June 3rd.
Tune in and let's see just how far this team goes!

Poachers suspected in deaths of research deer
Two deer that were a part of a Mississippi State University and Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks study are dead and poaching is suspected to be the cause.
Posted By: Taylor Smith
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Two deer that were a part of a Mississippi State University and Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks study are dead and poaching is suspected to be the cause.
Steve Demarais of the MSU Deer Lab said one of the animals was found shot about a month ago and a second buck's carcass was found recently, The Clarion Ledger reported.
"One was found by a sheriff's deputy shortly after it was shot," Demarais said. "He still had the collar on him. They shot him with a small caliber rifle."
Demarais said he's unsure of why the suspected poacher or poachers did not take the buck.
"Maybe they got nervous when they saw the collar or saw a car and did not collect it," he said.
The deer are part of a study that tracks and records the movement of mature bucks in parts of Madison and Yazoo counties along the Big Black River. It also records the bucks' movements as they relate to hunting pressure.
The study began in 2016 when 55 mature bucks were captured and fitted with tracking collars utilizing GPS technology and ear tags. The collars send out both a GPS and VHF signal for tracking and locating the collars. Ten of them have gone silent.
Demarais said the second buck was considered to be a mobile buck because he had two home ranges.
"Another carcass was found badly decomposed," Demarais said. "Apparently someone caught him near Virlilia Road as he was crossing his two home ranges. I think Virlilia Road is a hot spot for poachers."
In this case, the collar was missing and has not transmitted in several weeks.
"The collar had to have been destroyed about the time the deer was poached because it never transmitted from the carcass location," Demarais said.
"We can't pick them up by flying over the area. We don't know if those collars just stopped working, both the VHF signal and GPS, or if they were poached and the collars destroyed."
The loss of the collars is also costly. Demarais said they cost about $3,000 and another $3,000 to $4,000 is spent collaring the deer.
Demarais said two other deaths of bucks in the study are suspected to be the work of poachers and at least two have been killed by hunters. While shooting the tagged and collared bucks is legal, hunters have been encouraged to not shoot them as the data they provide is more important than antlers hanging on a wall.
One hunter said he did not see the bright orange collar or ear tags on the buck he shot. Another apparently couldn't resist temptation.
"It was a really nice 8-point with a kicker or two," Demarais said. "It was a 160 class. It was a buck a hunter couldn't resist."
The study ends in March when the release mechanisms are set to go off, then two years of movement data will be sorted through. Although the purpose of the study is to see how mature bucks react to hunting pressure, it is expected to reveal much more.
"We'll be milking this data for years," Demarais has said.

Home Contests Enter To Win A Prize Pack From MercyMe!
By Abby Young | Contests | 15 comments | 19 April, 2017 | 5
MercyMe recently released their brand new album LIFER and we are celebrating by giving away a special prize pack courtesy of MercyMe. They've given us some sweet prizes that you could win, including a record player, Apple Music subscription, LIFER CDs & Vinyl and Lyric Book.
The core of LIFER is the question of what it looks like to live as followers of Christ that are committed for life. "This new record is the logical next chapter after our last album, and it carries a new perspective," MercyMe's Bart Millard remarked. "Welcome To The New was all about grace and identity in Christ; a welcoming to the life of being a new creation by grace. And it's such an exciting truth to grasp, but then life continues to go on and eventually the newness of that wears off and we need encouragement and support to sustain us. For me personally, I sing about being new every night on tour and I don't always feel so new. So the album title LIFER and the theme of the record is all about reminding ourselves and others about the victory we have in the end through Christ. We are all in this for life – even on the days when we don't feel like doing any of it. We want these songs to be a morale boost to remind people of who they are and what Christ has done." – Bart Millard (MercyMe)
One Grand Prize Winner will recieve: Crosley record player, One month Apple Music subscription, LIFER Vinyl, LIFER CD, LIFER Lyric Book

Many killers in the novel justify their violence in large part by demonizing their enemy, and this demonization is very often race-based. The racist and therefore all the more aptly named Captain White, for example, justifies his invasion of Mexico by denouncing the Mexican people as "barbarians." Glanton and his men refer derogatorily to the Indians they hunt and whom they are hunted by as "savages" and "heathens." The white John Jackson antagonizes the black John Jackson solely because he is black. However, the novel explodes these race-based, us-vs.-them distinctions with its irony. Captain White's true motive for invading Mexico seems to be barbaric pillaging and plundering for profit, and Governor Trias of Mexico proves to be a far more civilized man than White. Glanton's gang is just as savage a pack of murderers as the Indians they hunt for profit. And, as their sharing of a name would suggest, the two John Jacksons might as well be identical to one another.
Given that the differences between races, between the savage and the civilized in the novel, are so arbitrary and flimsy, how do characters determine which causes to support? How do they figure out which party to join? The novel suggests that partisanship is really established by a combination of opportunism and pragmatism: how can I get what I want now. It's because he's promised the spoils of war that the kid joins up with Captain White, and it's because doing so secures his freedom that he later joins up with Captain Glanton. To maximize the number of scalps they take, Glanton's gang betrays their alliance with Mexico by beginning to prey on the Mexican citizenry. The gang hunts the Apaches one week, only to sell them whiskey the next. It is ultimately this haphazard and changeable mode of making and breaking party ties that leads to the gang's destruction at the hands of the Yuma Indians.
Yet while the gang plays fast and loose with its alliances, the gang, and especially the Judge, allow no defections. When Grannyrat disappears from the gang's ranks, for example, the Delawares are dispatched and probably murder him for a deserter. The black Jackson also attempts to desert, it would seem, only to be ridden down on the Judge's orders and restored to the gang naked (he later becomes one of the Judge's more committed disciples). Toward the end of the novel, the Judge accuses the kid of having poisoned the gang's enterprise by reserving "in [his] soul some corner of clemency for the heathen," which is a capital crime in the Judge's court, if only because the act of defection and desertion, even spiritual, is sufficient to challenge what the Judge alleges to be war's unifying power.

Genki Haraguchi says he's reached agreement to join Hannover
Online: Jun 12, 2018
Last Modified: Jun 12, 2018
Japan midfielder Genki Haraguchi confirmed Monday a reported move from Hertha Berlin to Hannover in a transfer deal involving the two Bundesliga clubs.
Speaking to reporters after a pre-World Cup training session at Tivoli Stadium, Haraguchi, who is currently in Austria as Japan prepares for Tuesday's friendly against Paraguay, said he is close to signing the contract.
"I haven't signed yet but we've reached an agreement and I will be going," Haraguchi said.
The 27-year-old former Urawa Reds player said he wanted his future to be sorted before the World Cup in Russia kicks off Thursday.
"I wanted to head to the World Cup with a clear mind. I don't want to think about other things. I was keen on deciding on a club at the right time so I'll be able to focus on (my role in) the national team," he said.
Haraguchi will join striker Takuma Asano at Hannover, after the 23-year-old Arsenal player joined the German side on a season-long loan in May. Asano, who spent the last two seasons on loan at Stuttgart, did not make the final cut for Japan's World Cup squad.

Donald Ray Kanzleiter, longtime resident of the Yakima Valley passed peacefully in Nespelem Washington, on Friday, September 2, 2016, surrounded by loving sisters, nieces, nephews and family. His loving sister, Diana Rieker, spent hundreds of hours making sure his last days were filled with love, comfort and care.
Donald was born on May 12, 1956, to Ray and Iva (Simpson) Kanzleiter.
Donald was a protective big brother, uncle, and loving friend to many.
He served in the United States Army, was a paratrooper and part of the Green Beret.
He studied law enforcement and eventually worked at Walla Walla State Penitentiary as a guard. He also worked as a CNA for the Colville Tribe Convalescent Center.
Donald loved all of his nieces and nephews more than anyone could ever know. They meant the world to him and he showed it. Whether that was with loving hugs, or a whack with his cane! He was always anxious to see his nieces and nephews whenever they got a chance to visit.
He loved his cousins from near and far and would remember the fun times on the Colville Indian Reservation and in the Seattle area with cousins on both sides of the state.
Donald lived strong until the end, defying the odds and holding on so everyone could see his wonderful strength that his family knows so well.
Donald is survived by his Auntie Mabel Jake, sister Diana (Ron) Rieker, brother Bill (Lurae) Kanzleiter, Bryan Kanzleiter, Laurie (Mark) Sison, Brenda Kanzleiter, Darlene Kanzleiter and Marlene (Mike) Kanzleiter, numerous nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews, as well as cousins, friends and family across the state and country.
Heaven has called upon you today, leaving so many words left to say.
But now it's too late, for your time has come, words unspoken; I am sure everybody has some.
Regrets and wishes are probably there too, but lasting forever are memories of you.
just like you would be there for me night or day.
but we were there for each other in time of need.
Now it's time for me to say Good-Bye, until we meet again in heaven to fly.
Dressing services were held Saturday, September 3, 2016. Burial was held Tuesday, September 6, 2016, at Simpson Family Cemetery.
