The 10 Tallest Buildings Ever Demolished
Savoy-Plaza Hotel, New York City. Image via Wikimedia
Written by Michael Aynsley
https://www.archdaily.com/522991/the-10-tallest-buildings-ever-demolished
The following list of the ten tallest buildings ever demolished, by Michael Aynsley, was originally published on BuzzBuzzHome.
Before we get to the countdown, a caveat: this list only considers buildings that were demolished on purpose by their owners. If it included all tall structures that are no longer standing, number one, two and four would be occupied by the three World Trade Center buildings tragically destroyed on September 11th, 2001.
10. Savoy-Plaza Hotel, New York City
Savoy-Plaza Hotel, New York City. Image © New York Architecture Images
Height: 446 feet, 33 stories
Demolished: 1964 – to make way for the General Motors Building.
Interesting fact: A scene in episode one, season two of Mad Men has Don and Betty Draper celebrating Valentine's Day with drinks and room service at The Savoy-Plaza Hotel in 1962, two years before it was demolished in real-life.
9. Ardmore Park Block One, Two and Three, Singapore
Demolished: 2009 – to make way for a new condo development.
Interesting fact: The Ardmore Park Block buildings were a set of identical triplets. All three were the exact same height and shared the exact same bland design.

8. Hennessy Centre, Hong Kong
Demolished: 2008 – because the owner of the building wanted to expand the mall that the Hennessy Centre shared its lot with.
Interesting fact: The unattractive, mostly concrete building had a short 15-year life. Probably because it was unattractive.

7. Grand Prince Hotel Akasaka, Tokyo
Height: 463 feet, 39 floors
Demolished: 2013 – as the New York Times explains it, the hotel was a victim of the vagaries of commercial real estate in Tokyo, "where high property values, changing design standards and other factors have conspired to create a bull market for demolition."
Interesting fact: The demolition of Tokyo's Grand Prince Hotel Akasaka was unique in that it didn't involve wrecking balls or explosives. A crane was used to take out all the beams, concrete and paneling from the inside — bit by bit and floor by floor. So, to any observer who had the patience to stand around and watch the weeks-long event, it would have appeared as though the building was slowly disappearing. Luckily you needn't put yourself through that sort of tedium. The building disassembly was documented with a video camera and the film has been sped up for your viewing pleasure. Watch it here.

6. The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong
Demolished: 2009 – to make way for much-need and more lucrative office space. The building was located on one of Hong Kong's most valuable business sites.
Interesting fact: The hotel was packed during the 1997 British return of Hong Kong to China, but occupancy fell to three per cent six years later during the SARS outbreak.

5. City Investing Building, New York City
Demolished: 1968 – to make way for One Liberty Plaza.
Interesting fact: The City Investing Building was part of a cluster of buildings (which included the Singer Building, the Hudson Terminal and the Equitable Building) that were all among the tallest in the world during the early part of the 20th century, making this portion of the New York City skyline one of the most photographed scenes of the time.

4. One Meridian Plaza, Philadelphia
Demolished: 1999 – after suffering extensive damage from a fire that broke out on the 22nd floor in 1991.
Interesting fact: For eight years after the fire, One Meridian Plaza sat vacant and damaged in the center of Philadelphia's business district. The building was caught in litigation between the owners and the insurance company over how much the insurers would pay the owners and how demolition would proceed.
3. Deutsche Bank, New York City
Demolished: 2011 – the Deutsche Bank building was heavily damaged due to flying debris during the September 11th attacks. It was eventually torn down to make way for Five World Trade Center.
Interesting fact: The building was designed by Shreve, Lamb and Harmon, the same architecture firm that designed the Empire State Building.

2. Morrison Hotel, Chicago
Demolished: 1965 – to make room for the First National Bank Building (now Chase Tower).
Interesting fact: The Morrison Hotel was the first building in the world outside of New York City to have more than 40 floors.

1. Singer Building, New York City
Interesting fact: For a very brief period, the Singer Building was the tallest building in the world, until 1909 when it was surpassed by the Metropolitan Life Tower.

Data from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, the recognized authority on skyscraper height, served as the primary source.

            </Menu.Item>
        ))
    );
  }
}

export default withRouter(SBMenu);

A: You can change child state from parent using lifting state up. You can simply pass a method to the SBMenu and work with it.
SBMenu render twice because you use the same name in menuItems.
It should be working fine now if you change menuItems name.

Cannabis producer Canopy Growth reports another billion-dollar loss
Canopy's huge loss resulted from shuttered facilities and obsolete packaging, marijuana
By Max A. Cherney
Canopy executives lamented a missed opportunity in selling cheap cannabis.
Canopy Growth Corp. reported its second billion-dollar quarterly loss Friday, as the company remains mired in a turnaround effort.
Canopy's (NAS:CGC) (TSE:CA:WEED) fiscal fourth-quarter net loss of C$1.33 billion ($946.4 million) was the second in its history after the Smiths Falls, Ontario based weed producer logged a C$1.28 billion loss in the fiscal first quarter last year.
A loss of hundreds of millions of dollars was expected, as Canopy announced in March that it expected to record a C$700 million to C$800 million charge related to shutting down two weed facilities in British Columbia and laying off 500 people from related jobs.
Chief Financial Officer Mike Lee said Friday on Canopy's earnings call that C$715 million was noncash, most tied to the cultivation assets it shut down, with roughly C$193 million of impairment charges from exiting international markets. Canopy wrote off C$132 million for "obsolete" packaging, flower and biomass inventory. Billions in goodwill and other intangible assets built up for Canada's largest pot companies in recent years.
Rivals such as Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYS:ACB) (TSE:CA:ACB) and Organigram Holdings Inc. (NAS:OGI) (TSX:CA:OGI) , have either already been selling cheap weed or launched a "value" brand in recent months as the market in Canada has shifted.
Canopy executives acknowledged Friday that the company had missed opportunities to sell its own version of cheap pot — five months ago inexpensive pot held a 6% market share, but that segment now accounts for around 20% of the market.
In a telephone interview with MarketWatch, Chief Executive David Klein said the shift toward cheap pot is the result of a number of Canopy rivals offering much more inexpensive product in January and February.
"We saw pretty aggressive price drops, and presumably the motivation is to convert inventory into cash, instead of writing it off," Klein said. "I'm not sure how sure how sustainable this is for some of the players."
Klein said he believes black market sales are still 60% of the market and to compete Canopy is attempting to figure out how to grow the cheapest, highest-quality weed. More than anything, Klein says that inexpensive marijuana is the best way to attract customers who are used to buying product illegally.

Canopy's fourth-quarter revenue net of excise tax rose to C$107.9 million from C$94.1 million a year ago. The FactSet consensus was for a loss per share of 59 cents and revenue of C$128.9 million. Canopy pulled its guidance due to the pandemic.
On the conference call, Lee said that Canopy saw less traffic to its physical retail stores because of social-distancing requirements. Provinces such as British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario have also re-balanced inventory and were ordering less weed from Canopy.
"We have a very strong balance sheet with nearly C$2 billion in cash at the end of the fourth quarter and we have an additional C$245 million of cash inflow on May first from Constellation Brands (NYS:STZ) exercise of its November 2017 warrants," Lee reminded investors on the call. "So, with these actions, we believe our company will weather COVID-19 and emerge stronger on the other side."
With C$2 billion in cash remaining, Klein told MarketWatch that Canopy is going to hold onto as much of that as possible to prepare for its entry into the U.S.
In terms of deploying the cash to buy additional assets, Klein said that he doesn't see value in Canada — the cost synergies that normally exist, do not in Canadian cannabis. In the U.S., Canopy would be open to acquiring businesses that are not direct rivals of Acreage Holdings Inc. , which it is already obliged to acquire if pot becomes permissible in America.
"For the right brands in the U.S., if there was a way to structure a transaction, we would be open to that," Klein said on the phone.
Canopy Growth had not released its full financial statements as of Friday afternoon which would offer more information about the specifics of the company's billion-dollar net loss and other aspects of the fourth-quarter financial performance.
The company told analysts it expects to file its first 10-K form Monday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission because Canopy is now considered a U.S. domestic issuer, though it is listed in the U.S. and Canada. For the same reason, it has also started to use Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP, the U.S. accounting standard.

In a note to clients Friday, Jefferies analyst Owen Bennett wrote that Canopy's fourth-quarter recreational pot sales were "very weak," as the company continues to lose market share for cannabis flower. Bennett has a hold on the name with a C$22 target price.
"What really concerned us was commentary around needing to 'understand what consumers want,' and 'servicing different segments'," Bennett wrote. "This is just basics and an issue we flagged over 12 months ago when initiating and is something that in our view should be addressed prior to legalization, not over a year into it, and especially from a market share leader."
MKM Partners analyst Bill Kirk called the results "disappointing" and pointed to the company's sequential revenue slowdown, while its rivals grew sales and lost less money. Kirk has a $21 target price with the equivalent of a hold rating on the stock.
Canopy stock fell 19.1% in Friday trading. U.S.-traded shares have gained 3% this year as the Cannabis ETF (PSE:THCX) fell 11%. The benchmark S&P 500 index (S&P:SPX) has dropped 6%.


All change for Northern Electrics new 319 trains as Aura Graphics supplies and installs new exterior livery, labels and eye-catching interior graphics.
We have just undertaken a refurbishment project for Northern Rail's 20 sets of newly acquired Class 319 trains from the former First Capital Connect rail franchise. This project included the complete renovation of the exterior graphics as well as the on-board bathroom facilities.
We helped refurbish the exterior rail graphics by producing the shapes that flank the passenger doors as well as applying safety labels and the all-important Northern Rail Electric branding to the outside of the livery.
The livery interiors were a separate task. Northern Rail wanted a solution to brighten up the bathroom spaces with the aim to reduce graffiti on the surfaces. We used a printed self-adhesive vinyl in a landscape design that through its colour reflects the corporate branding. The print was laminated with a tough anti-graffiti film over 90% of the covered area. The rest of the areas such as those with rivets and sharp curves were protected using our own anti-graffiti liquid coating - Aura Guard Surface Protection System™.
The initial stage of the project involved a template of the bathroom facilities. This was to ensure the application ran smoothly and the installation process could be completed within budget and in the allotted time period. It also helped the Production Team to make sure that the printed graphics matched panel to panel and to limit trimming and reduce wastage of the film.
The inside walls were cleared of any hand dryers, toilet roll holders, mirrors and bins, in order for us to have a nice flat surface to apply our graphics to. We then cleaned these areas before applying a surface primer, in order to achieve maximum adhesion. This is applied to areas where the film is being pushed to its limits and where customers may be tempted to pick at the graphics or edges that could be caught during cleaning. To give a seamless, water tight and professional finish, silicone was then applied around the sink basin and the toilet. After all this was completed, our site engineers then refitted all the wall fixtures and fittings into the cubicle.
This project is another great example of how refreshes are a quick and cost-effective way to refurbish train interiors to improve the passenger experience.

Venezuelan opposition struggling for momentum against Maduro
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Opposition leader Juan Guaidó is struggling to draw protesters into Venezuela's streets just days after calling for daily demonstrations to drive President Nicolás Maduro from power, trying to reignite a movement he started early this year.
Opposition politician Juan Guaido raises his right fist as he greets supporters at a rally, in Caracas, Venezuela, Saturday, Nov. 16, 2019. Guaido called nationwide demonstrations to re-ignite a campaign against President Nicolas Maduro launched in January that has lost steam in recent months.

Guaido called nationwide demonstrations to re-ignite a campaign against Maduro launched in January that has lost steam in recent months.
Members of Venezuela's National Police rush in to secure Bolivia's Embassy after learning that opposition politician Juan Guaido and supporters were marching to the embassy to show their support for Bolivia's interim government, in Caracas, Venezuela, Saturday, Nov. 16, 2019. President Nicolas Maduro's socialist party also called its members to demonstrate in solidarity with Bolivia's Evo Morales, who resigned the presidency and fled into exile in Mexico on Nov. 10, claiming a coup d'etat following massive protests accusing him of engineering a fraudulent reelection.

Crowds gathered in the Venezuelan's capital for rival demonstrations on Saturday. Opposition leader Juan Guaido called for Saturday's nationwide demonstrations to re-ignite a campaign against President Nicolas Maduro launched in January that has lost steam in recent months.
Only several dozen people answered Guaidó's call in Caracas on Monday, some scuffling with security forces. That fell far short of what the opposition had hoped to achieve, after Guaidó at a large demonstration Saturday appealed for sustained protests against the government.
Office worker Ofelia Briceño said she was done marching until the opposition gets organized and can present a clear approach to lure the military away from Maduro. A passing group of marchers failed to persuade Briceño and her co-workers to abandon lunch plans and join them in the street.
"It's crazy that they ask people to come out, but there's no plan. Everything is so haphazard," Briceño said. "I've gone out marching many times before — but no more." Guaidó rose to lead the opposition in January and later claimed presidential powers under the constitution alleging Maduro's re-election was illegitimate. He vowed to oust the socialist president and hold new elections.
The opposition leader won the backing of the United States and more than other 50 nations that contend Maduro won a second term in 2018 through fraudulent elections. Guaidó initially drew huge crowds when he declared himself interim president. Many thought change was imminent, but Maduro has kept power — primarily with backing with might from the military.
In a speech Saturday, Guaidó called for persistent protests, pointing to Bolivia where 18 days of upheaval prompted the resignation of Maduro ally Evo Morales, who fled to self-exile in Mexico. The opposition has at least three marches planned this week, including Thursday when university students will try approaching Fuerte Tiuna, the nation's most important military base and seat of the defense ministry.
School teacher Yldemar Acevedo was among one small but vocal group of protesters in Caracas on Monday who answered Guaidó's call and clashed with national police dressed in riot gear. The police shoved protesters with their shields and struck them with their hands, but Acevedo said she would not quit, no matter the personal cost.
"We're not backing down from our protests," she said, adding that the events in Bolivia emboldened her. "The only way they will understand that we have any power is for us to come out into the streets."
Diego Moya-Ocampos, principal Venezuela analyst with the London-based consulting firm IHS Markit, said Morales' ouster in Bolivia may serve as a source of inspiration. But Venezuela's opposition also confronts Maduro's "military regime," known to use heavy-handed tactics that include arbitrary arrests and torture.
These are effective tools used by the military and national police to increasing degrees to match protests, deterring shows of resistance, Moya-Ocampo said. Maduro defends the strong response to protests, saying Guaidó is a puppet of the White House bent on toppling him to exploit the nation's vast oil reserves.
"It's very difficult to maintain momentum when you're facing such a strong security apparatus," Moya-Ocampos said. "They're willing to use force against protesters and willing to treat an unarmed population as an enemy combatant."

These are great horns. Heavy and built like a tank! I had the BBb version and loved it for any style playing I did. I would consider this a large 5/4 size horn. I used mine in large concert band settings mostly but also in small chamber settings. I miss the low register this horn provides! Good price for a great looking willson. This one's perfect for a college student and up who is serious about their playing!

A Spy's Devotion 4.4 out of 5 based on 0 ratings. 14 reviews.
I loved and enjoyed reading the fabulous and fantastic, suspenseful, romantic, historical Christian novel by the wonderfully talented Melanie Dickerson. "Received free from Goodreads First Reads" Julia Gray is an orphan living with her aunt, uncle, and companion to her cousin, Phoebe. Pheobe has set her sights her the handsome Nicholas Langdon. Julia overhears a conversation between her uncle and Lord Edgerton discussing a diary and stealing it from Nicholas Langdon. Meanwhile, Nicholas is trying to get the coded diary to a specific person at the War Office. Nicholas begins copying the diary just in case it falls into the wrong hands. Nicholas is knocked unconscious and the diary is stolen. Julia and Nicholas work together in secret to discover more details on Julia's uncle and Lord Edgerton. Julia is told by her uncle that he has had an offer of marriage from Lord Edgerton and she has to accept the offer, good offer, and would save her from becoming a governess. Julia would rather become a governess than belong to Edgerton, a drinker, gambler, and spy. Read the highly recommended, beautifully written, must read love story of Julia and Nicholas.
I absolutely loved this book. So creative and I fell in love with the characters. I highly recommend it!
A Spy's Devotion is my favorite written by Melanie Dickerson to date. I cannot wait to continue with The Regency Spies of London series. Beautiful romance and wonderful suspense makes this a must read. 5 plus stars.
As an orphan, Julia Grey is at the mercy of her guardian uncle. Her only hope for a future is as a wife or governess. Nathaniel Langdon is a second son and dutiful soldier. His circumstances have placed him in a position to investigate a possible threat to his superior, General Wellington. Flirtations and secrets abound as Nathaniel and Julia's paths cross. I enjoyed the way the characters dance around the social rules of the time and search out the truth while wondering who is trustworthy. I found both Julia and Nathaniel to be compassionate and determined to do what is right. Melanie Dickerson does not disappoint in her first regency! I requested a copy of this book through NetGalley with the intention of reading and providing my honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.
For any of you who have read Melanie Dickerson's Fairy Tale Romance Series you'll know that her books are keepers. I had high expectations when I started her new series; which takes place in London during the Regency era. I was not disappointed. In fact, this is now one of my favorites of all her books! While there could have been more suspense added to the story I was satisfied with the amount there was. The characters were all well developed. Julia and Nicholas were of course my favorites. Although far from perfect, they had many good qualities that are an example to anyone who reads. And the romance between them was dream worthy yet realistic too. A perfect read for young adults and grown-ups alike.
When England's future is at stake, it is up to Miss Julia Grey to thwart an assassination. Miss Julia Grey is the epitome of propriety. She lives by society's standards and regulations. An orphan, living with her Aunt and Uncle, she has no significant inheritance to her name. However, when she overhears her Uncle Wilhern's conversation regarding a coded diary, Julia's world is turned upside down. Mr. Nicholas Langdon is an upstanding gentleman with no fortune. He has been wounded in war and has been brought home to London to heal. However, the coded diary that he promised to deliver on behalf of his dying friend, is stolen from him. With suspicions that the culprits are working with the French, he will stop at nothing to see the suspects behind bars. When Mr. Langdon meets Miss Grey he is immediately besotted, as is she. But with neither bound to inherit, it would be an unsuitable match. They are determined to live up to the standards that society demands of them. But when Julia discovers that she has the ability to aide her country, she agrees to help. Little does she know the repercussions of her actions. She will have to make a decision. Will she continue as the quiet demure woman she was raised to be? Or will she throw caution to the wind and follow her heart? I thoroughly enjoy reading Melanie Dickerson's books! A Spy's Devotion definitely has a different feel to it, but it is just as enjoyable as her Medieval Fairy Tale books! As one who tries to follow my heart rather than follow the expectations put on me by others, I had a hard time relating to Julia Grey personally. But it was wonderful watching her discover the inner strength that she possess. And to see her fight for what is right and true. Her love and concern for her family and friends is touching. Her compassion is real. And in the end she finds peace in her circumstances and watches how God can work everything out better than we could plan ourselves. This is a mystery book and I definitely felt my heart try to explode with anticipation multiple times. An excellent intro into a new genre for Melanie! I received a free digital copy of A Spy's Devotion from Waterfall Press (an imprint of Amazon Publishing) through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.
I seriously love Melanie Dickerson's Christian fairy tales. All are well written and very fascinating. Melanie has stepped out of her fairy tale mode to write a tale of Regency England. I very much love a good Regency and this one was outstanding! She captures the era wonderfully well and proves that she is completely adept at switching genres. This is top notch! I had trouble leaving the book at times and couldn't wait to finish. Dickerson has proven she is a very, very good Regency writer. I hope she decides to write more in this genre, for she is very good indeed at it. I was not the least bit disappointed. She captured my interest from the start and held it until the last word. Julia Grey and Nicholas Langdon are the chief characters here and Melanie has created them so well that the reader feels a part of their lives. The secondary characters are well developed also, although some were not quite so likable. Dickerson keeps the story moving along at a brisk pace, not once bogging down. Not at all! I am looking forward to her doing more books in this vein. *I was given a copy of this book by the publisher in exchange for my honest review, which I have given.
A Spy's Devotion ( The Regency Spies of London- #1 ) By: Melanie Dickerson A Spy's Devotion is the first book in The Regency Spies of London series. Wow, Ms. Dickerson has stepped out of her box . I am use to her fairytales stories, but she has herself a winner with A Spy's Devotion. Ms. Dickerson weaves us a story for adult fiction Regency Romance. It is still Christian story for all. She captured my heart right from the start and did not let go till the end, and I was still wanting more. Yes the title is right it does have spying going on , and at times I caught myself holding my breath and could not read fast enough to see what was going to happen next. Julie was taken in by her aunt, uncle, and her cousin Phoebe at an early age. I really did feel sorry for Julie all throughout the story. Handsome Nicholas is a soldier who returns home to heal from an injury. There is some attraction between some of the characters. I am not going to say anything else because I do not want to give the story away. I strongly recommend A Spy's Devotion . I am sure that you will love it. I really loved it and can't wait for book two in the series. I was given a copy of this book by the author and NetGalley for my honest review.
A Spy's Devotion was a delightful novel! I really enjoy the Regency setting and love finding good, clean books placed in this time period. Add in the fact that this story had a suspenseful thread running through it and also was a Christian fiction novel - well all of these things made me a very happy reader! The author did a great job of creating characters whom I had extreme compassion for, such as the main character, Julia, and her friend, Sarah. And the hero of the story, Nicholas, was very nicely written. He struggled to balance the life of espionage he found himself entangled in, the interest he felt for Julia, and what his future plans for himself should be. There were some really awful characters, as well! My, oh my, Julia's aunt, uncle, and cousin were the personification of greed and selfishness. Their various ploys to demean and use Julia simply made her sweetness all the more impressive. The espionage and traitorous dealings led to a few very tense moments in the book, along with danger for the main characters. I thoroughly enjoyed A Spy's Devotion and look forward to reading more in the series.
In a battlefield infirmary in Regency England, Nicholas Langdon receives a book as a last request from a dying man. At first, he thought it was just a journal to take to a family member, but he soon realizes it contains secret codes that could devastate the British army if put into the wrong hands. He is soon embroiled in spying on the uncle and guardian of Julia Grey, who he has been attracted to for some time. Will she help him or hinder him in his mission? And how will Julia balance her attraction with him and her agreement to help her cousin's infatuation with Langdon? Wow. I quite loved A Spy's Devotion. Melanie Dickerson has broken her chain of historical, fairytale retellings to start a new series in a different time period. It did not addict me quite as much as some of the others, but it was still awesome. A spy romance in Regency England is certainly a great premise, and it is just the beginning! The only way to describe Langdon and Julia's relationship with each other is complicated, as annoying as that word can be. The spying on Julia's uncle, Phoebe's infatuation with Langdon, Julia's desperation to marry, and so much more adds to the danger and misunderstandings of their relationship. The characters were not focused on the romance developing between each other, but it was a major part of the story, developed very well. I would recommend this book to those who enjoy historical romance. I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I have to say, the cover is what first drew me to this story. Then, after reading the description, I was intrigued. I don't see many regency mysteries, which I quite enjoy. I love the time period and mysteries, so I believe they are a great combination. I've read a few of Ms. Dickerson's books and enjoyed them, so I hoped that would be the case for this one. I can happily say I that it met my expectations. I believe this is Ms. Dickerson's first attempt at a regency novel, and I think she did a wonderful job! The descriptions were well written and didn't overwhelm the story. Ms. Dickerson seems to lean toward the "less is more" writing style with this one, which I really appreciated. I found her writing engaging and she kept me quickly turning the pages to see where the story might go next. Now for the characters. I adored Julia! She is a great heroine and I was able to easily connect with her. I loved how realistic she - though she is strong and determined to do the right thing, no matter the cost to her, she has flaws. We see her hurt, angry, resentful, but also kind, loving, and generous. I found a character that I would love to be friends with, if she was real. Because a good portion of the story comes from Julia's perspective, I didn't really feel that I knew Nicholas that well. Which I found kind of disappointing, because I believe I would've really liked him. From the little I knew of him, I knew he was kind, generous, bold. All of the foundations for a great hero, if a few more of the blanks had been filled in. I do have to say that I really didn't like a few of the secondary characters, particularly Julia's cousin, Phoebe. She drove me crazy! She is incredibly selfish, self-centered, and shallow! She's honestly one of those characters that I alternate between feeling sorry for and wishing some terrible fate would befall them. That being said, her errors made me love Julia more. And surprisingly enough, Julia even learned something from her loony cousin. The suspense was woven in well, without inadvertently becoming the main focus of the book. There honestly wasn't much done in the way of detective work, which makes sense for the time period, but I found that it bothered me just a bit. I think I've simply become too accustomed to our modern way of investigating. Though it threw me off a bit at first, I still really enjoyed the question of how everything was going to play out. My final thoughts are that though I enjoyed this book, I don't believe it's going to become a favorite of mine. It has all of the marks of a great story, but there were just a couple things that I would've liked to be different. That being said, I am looking forward to reading the next in the series and finding out where Ms. Dickerson takes her stories from here. I happily recommend this book to anyone looking for a regency novel that breaks from the norm and shows that there is more than one side to every story. I received an advanced copy of this book through NetGalley for my honest review, which I have given. I was not required to write a positive review and all opinions expressed are my own.

Free Speech and Censorship
The Julian Assange indictment attempts to make standard investigative journalistic practice look suspicious
Their concerns is precisely that the process described in the charges represents a standard investigative practice employed by reporters, that is not illegal and should not be outlawed.
by Didi Rankovic April 12, 2019 - 11:59 pm EDT April 12, 2019 - 11:59 pm EDT
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was arrested in the UK after spending six years in Ecuador's embassy in that country. The US swiftly moved to request his extradition to the US on charges of engaging in a hacking conspiracy with Chelsea Manning. But what are the the possible repercussions on free speech and media that might arise if the US decides to expand its current indictment that is rather narrow and based on the US Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA)?
Even as things stand today, the indictment issued by the US Department of Justice (DoJ) seems to simply be describing the process – legal at that – which investigative reporters use to get their stories and publish them. Yet, it's some how using the description of this standard process to somehow suggest that it's sinister. From, the indictment:
"It was part of the conspiracy that Assange and Manning used the "Jabber" online chat service to collaborate on the acquisition and dissemination of the classified records, and to enter into the agreement to crack the password stored on the United States Department of Defense computers connected to the Secret Internet Protocol Network.
It was part of the conspiracy that Assange and Manning took measures to conceal Manning as the source of the disclosure of classified records to WikiLeaks, including removing usernames from the disclosed information and deleting chat logs between Assange and Manning.
It was part of the conspiracy that Assange encouraged Manning to provide information and records from departments and agencies of the United States.
It was part of the conspiracy that Assange and Manning used a special folder on a cloud drop box of WikiLeaks to transmit classified records containing information related to the national defense of the United States."
These steps included using encrypted chat, removing chat records to protect Manning as the source, Assange soliciting information from Manning in order to obtain classified papers, and the use of online drop-off to send them. All of this is considered by US authorities as conspiratorial, while really it's just standard journalistic practice.
Assange could find himself in hot water because of the accusation that he apparently tried – and failed – to hack a password – but, whether that's true or not, that is the only point from the indictment that deviates from what is essentially investigative journalism.
Among the media and digital rights groups that have already expressed their concern are…
Freedom of the Press Foundation said:
"For years, the Obama administration considered indicting WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange, before rightly concluding it could not do so without encroaching on core press freedoms. Now almost nine years in, the Trump administration has used the same information to manufacture a flimsy and pretextual indictment involving a "conspiracy" to violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act—based entirely on alleged conversations between a journalist and source. While the Trump administration has so far not attempted to explicitly declare the act of publishing illegal, a core part of its argument would criminalize many common journalist-source interactions that reporters rely on all the time. Requesting more documents from a source, using an encrypted chat messenger, or trying to keep a source's identity anonymous are not crimes; they are vital to the journalistic process. Whether or not you like Assange, the charge against him is a serious press freedom threat and should be vigorously protested by all those who care about the First Amendment."
The Committee to Protect Journalists said:
"The potential implications for press freedom of this allegation of conspiracy between publisher and source are deeply troubling," said Robert Mahoney, deputy director of the Committee to Protect Journalists. "With this prosecution of Julian Assange, the U.S. government could set out broad legal arguments about journalists soliciting information or interacting with sources that could have chilling consequences for investigative reporting and the publication of information of public interest."
The Knight First Amendment Center said:
"The indictment and the Justice Department's press release treat everyday journalistic practices as part of a criminal conspiracy. Whether the government will be able to establish a violation of the hacking statute remains to be seen, but it's very troubling that the indictment sweeps in activities that are not just lawful but essential to press freedom—activities like cultivating sources, protecting sources' identities, and communicating with sources securely."
The EFF said:
"While the indictment of Julian Assange centers on an alleged attempt to break a password—an attempt that was not apparently successful—it is still, at root, an attack on the publication of leaked material and the most recent act in an almost decade-long effort to punish a whistleblower and the publisher of her leaked material. Several parts of the indictment describe very common journalistic behavior, like using cloud storage or knowingly receiving classified information or redacting identifying information about a source. Other parts make common free software tools like Linux and Jabber seem suspect. And while we are relieved that the government has not chosen to include publication-based charges today, if Assange is indeed extradited, the government can issue superseding indictments. It should not do so. Leaks are a vital part of the free flow of information that is essential to our democracy. Reporting on leaked materials, including reporting on classified information, is an essential role of American journalism."
Their concern is precisely that the process described in the charges represents a standard investigative practice employed by reporters, that is not illegal and should not be outlawed.
EFF makes note of the DoJ's apparent treatment of the use of free and open source software like the chat protocol Jabber and the Linux operating system as suspicious in itself. These are also described as "special" tools.
While the good news for Assange here is that the US case against him appears to be weak, at least in its current form – the broader implications on how journalistic and publishing practices could be treated going forward if this indictment manages to set a precedent – is a serious cause for concern.

Q: Update date calculated column depending of date I have calculated in a list column who compare dates and return yes or no
Formula: =TODAY()<[Fieldone]
So it returns yes or no correctly, problem is when conditioning of date changes because date for example
If today is 24/08/2017  and Fieldone is 25/08/2017 it returns Yes, but if today is 24/08/2017 and Fieldone is 23/08/2017 it need to return Yes, but when date pass it don´t update register automatically. How can I update that value automatically?

A: It's a normal behavior, The calculated column formula is only calculated/updated In the following cases:

*

*Add New Item.

*Update Existing item.

*Update the calculated column itself in the list setting!

So, unfortunately, you can't update the calculated column value automatically.
For more details check The supported and unsupported fields in SharePoint calculated column formula

The available workaround in SharePoint online is

G20 Countries to Regulate Cryptocurrencies in Line with FATF Standards
Jimmy Aki
CCN December 3, 2018
The G20 Countries have signed a joint declaration in Buenos Aires, where it promises to regulate cryptocurrencies and combat its use for money laundering and the financing of terrorism in line with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) standards, per a Saudi Gazette report.
Section 25 of the declaration signed by the forum reads:
"We will regulate crypto-assets for anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism in line with FATF standards, and we will consider other responses as needed."
FAFT was created by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), as a policy-making organization to fight money laundering and the financing of terrorists. The FATF began discussing ways to introduce binding rules that would govern cryptocurrency exchanges globally, earlier this year. The organization had also sought out the current rules in a bid to accommodate new market realities.
According to the G20 declaration, "other responses" would be considered as needed, adding that the countries would also continue to monitor the global economy, which is rapidly being digitalized, adding that it "would seek a consensus-based solution to address the impacts of the digitization of the economy on the international tax system with an update in 2019 and a final report in 2020."
The G20 forum first issued a communique in July, where it sought to apply anti-money-laundering standards for the cryptocurrency sector by October. At the time it had stated that its member states would continue to monitor the industry, while claiming that the sector does not pose a financial.
The forum had commissioned its regulator, the Financial Stability Board (FSB), headed by Mark Carney, Governor of the Bank of England, who is a fan of strict monitoring of the crypto markets to develop a framework for monitoring the crypto sector. The watchdog had published a set of metrics that it would use to monitor and bring sanity to the markets. The FSB framework was developed in partnership with the Committee on Payments and Market Infrastructures.
"The objective of the framework is to identify any emerging financial stability concerns in a timely manner. To this end, it includes risk metrics that are most likely to highlight suck risks, using data from public sources where available," the FSB framework reads.

Vintage Hull USA Modern Art Pottery Wildflower Line Yellow And Pink Vase W-9 8-1/2"
Home > Vintage Mid-Century American Art Pottery > Vintage Hull USA Modern Art Pottery Wildflower Line Yellow And Pink Vase W-9 8-1/2"
Our beautiful Vintage Hull USA Modern Art Pottery Wildflower Line Yellow And Pink Vase W-9 8-1/2" was one of twenty two different items created in this same line from 1946 to 1947. The Wildflower line was part of Hull's Modern Art Pottery. This line was created in several two-tone, matte finish color combinations. The body of our vintage American art pottery vase has subtle gradation from the creamy pastel yellow top to the soft pink rose foot. Our Vintage Hull USA Modern Art Pottery Wildflower Line Yellow And Pink Vase W-9 8-1/2" has ornate handles on both sides which are topped by large leaves. One side of the vase is decorated with a large embossed leafy spray which contains the following flowers: a yellow Trillium, one pink and one yellow Mission, and Bluebells which cascade along the edges of the bouquet. The other side of the vase has a similar embossment with contains one lone pink Trillium flower which ascends from the bottom of the vase. The vine which the flower is attached to continues towards the rim of the vase. The Vintage Hull USA Modern Art Pottery Wildflower Line Yellow And Pink Vase W-9 8-1/2" is marked on the bottom Hull Art U.S.A. W-9-8 1/2". The Hull Art U.S.A. stamp clearly denotes this piece as having been manufactured prior to 1950. The 'W' designates the Wildflower line. The number 9 is the mold number and 8 1/2" is the size. The artist's initial 'S' is also incised on the bottom.
Resting on a round base measuring approximately 4" in diameter, the vase stands 8 3/4" tall, and measures 7 3/4" at its widest point of its mouth. The vase is in very good vintage condition. There are a few spots of rust colored staining on the inside of the vintage Hull art pottery vase, which I did not try to remove. There is also a small flea bite along the top rim of the vase, on the side which only has the single flower spray. There is a kiln flaw on the bottom of the vase (a small dent where the piece came in contact with the kiln or another piece prior to firing). This vintage American art pottery vase has no cracks or crazing. Please see the pictures.
Created in a highly collectible color combination, this Vintage Hull USA Modern Art Pottery Wildflower Line Yellow And Pink Vase W-9 8-1/2" is a stunning example of Hull's pastel art pottery which flourished throughout the 1940's.


Electric motors have been the backbone for manufacturing industries which have for long relied on the efficiency in the systems brought by electric motors. The idea behind electric motors is straightforward – supply electricity at one end and an axle or the metal rod rotate at the other end giving you the power to drive a machine. This traditional form of motoring operation has been transformed over a span of 200 years and is now an advanced technical breakthrough in the power generation and industrial automation sector.
The manufacturing industry dominates today's market and the industrial sphere. In this sector, a significant chunk of power is consumed to convert raw materials into finished goods. It is a necessary resource as over 50% of the work completed in today's manufacturing plant is achieved by electric motors or the new age servo motors. As per a study conducted to understand the electricity consumption trends, it has been estimated that this percentage will continue to increase to sustain the production rate in the future.
As the production and manufacturing sector immensely relies on electric motors, it is essential to ensure that motors and motor starters are adequately protected. Doing this will provide maximum operating time and cut down on the chances of outages. In today's highly complex industrial setups, improperly protected motors/circuits can result in unexpected production downtime, losses and breakdowns in the machinery. Over the last few decades, a significant amount of resources have been deployed to make the operating systems sound and efficient. The control manufacturers have mainly been involved in in the development of improved and cost-effective short-circuit protection and motor protection devices.
Can be reset once the overload is removed If motors are exposed to increased levels of continuous current and prolonged periods at locked rotor condition, damage to the motor and motor circuit conductors can occur.
Thus, the integration of proper servo motors can go a long way in ensuring that the system of power management can be optimised to a substantial extent. Doing so will ensure that little to no problems are experienced by businesses further down the line, ultimately leading to a situation where the goal of proper power management can be accomplished with the greatest of ease.


In this Micropython project I wanted to build a cheap/small sound spectrum analyser to identify specific tones during testing. Initially I tried to connect the Adafruit sound sensor with an ADC and RPI but then faced a lot of timing problems and therefore went to the ARM-M4 micro-controller which is a pretty good straight forward solution. On git-hub I found an FFT code written in ARM assembler by Peter Hinch, which allowed me to obtain on-board frequency spectrum calculation of an array, based on the Cooley-Tukey algorithm.
The picture below illustrates the spectrum(top) in a silent room, the middle plot shows the calculated gradients of the domain and the last the reactivity of the specific tones. The system is continuously captures 2**10 samples in 0.1s >10Hz-5kHz, calculates the FFT and forwards output array to PC in 15ms.
The problem is found in the harmonic tones that appear at exactly 1,2,3,4,5,.. kHz (graph was taken in silent room). Second problem shows up when there is a little more noise; spikes(bottom graph) appear around the harmonic tones+/-240Hz, aliased?. The bottom plot shows the reactivity of the tones.
No power; all frequency zero except a few low freq show minor amplitude.
Settings of the FFT for 0.5s/0.1s/0.05s/0.01s and 512/1024/2048 samples; but show the same peaks at same freq.
Three different ADC channels on the Pyboard.
Both 3V3 and GND connections.
What is most likely the cause of this behaviour? Board circuit / Electret-Amplifier / FFT-code / USB-power?
Me Sound sensor (LM386) amplifier.
Grove sound sensor (LM386) amplifier.
Not exactly, but I did something similar with a Rapsberry Pi and a cheap USB microphone.
The resulting configuration was not pretty, but it worked.
I used Python (obviously) and the Numpy FFT library. I used the "arecord" program to read sound samples from the device in the desired format and pipe it into Python as raw data, then loaded it in chunks into a numpy array.
Anyway, it was completely done with the Pi CPU, but it was fast enough to do it at the speed I wanted (I think 11khz 16-bit mono) using about 10% CPU on a Raspberry Pi 1.
Obviously most microcontrollers have a much slower processor and wouldn't be able to shift the data that fast.
What is the vertical scale of the top graph? If it's dB where is the 0dB reference - i.e. the response to a full scale sinewave? Have you tried plotting the response with the microphone shorted out? This would eliminate the possibility that the signal is getting picked up by the mic, either acoustically or perhaps inductively.
Is there an anti-aliasing filter in the circuit? If the spikes occur at the same frequencies regardless of the sample rate I suspect the cause is other than aliasing, but there should be some filtering in the analog domain.
Spikes of broadly similar amplitude at 1kHz intervals are suggestive of an impulse function repeated at a 1KHz rate. I'd take a look with an oscilloscope - perhaps these spikes are getting coupled into the amplifier from some source. Although, if the vertical scale is dB they may be hard to see amongst the noise. Screening might help - microphone amplifiers have high gain and are prone to picking up noise.
[EDIT]To add to this I suggest reading this thread http://forum.micropython.org/viewtopic. ... 771#p14771 where someone else is experiencing similar problems of signal pickup in a sensitive audio frequency cicuit.
