Michael Evan Horowitz (born September 19, 1962) is an American attorney and government official. He is the Inspector General of the United States Department of Justice.

Early life and education
Horowitz is the son of Anne J. and Fred Horowitz. His father owned the women's clothing manufacturer, Paul Alfred Inc.; and his mother owned an antique store in Nyack, New York.  He earned a Bachelor of Arts, summa cum laude, from Brandeis University majoring in economics and minoring in Legal Studies. He then earned a Juris Doctor, magna cum laude, from Harvard Law School.

Career
Following law school he served as a law clerk for Judge John G. Davies of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. He then worked as an associate at the law firm Debevoise & Plimpton. From 1991 to 1999 he was an assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. From 1999 to 2002 he worked at the Department of Justice headquarters in Washington D.C., first as a deputy assistant attorney general, then as chief of staff. In 2002 he returned to private practice as a partner at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, where he focused on white collar defense, internal investigations, and regulatory compliance. During this time he also served as a commissioner on the U.S. Sentencing Commission—a position for which he was confirmed by the Senate in 2003.

Inspector General for the Department of Justice
Horowitz was sworn in as the Inspector General of the United States Department of Justice on April 16, 2012. Since 2015, he has also been the chair of the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE), an organization consisting of all 73 federal Inspectors General.

Review on FBI and DOJ actions in the 2016 election

Horowitz announced in January 2017 that the Inspector General's office would examine evidence related to "allegations of misconduct" regarding FBI Director James B. Comey's handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton's email practices and whether Justice Department employees leaked information improperly during the run-up to the 2016 United States presidential election. In June 2018, Horowitz released his report, concluding that Peter Strzok and other FBI employees "brought discredit to themselves" and to the agency. He found that Comey indulged in ad hoc decision making and did not follow FBI procedures, but did not find that he was motivated by any political bias.

Review on 4 FISA Applications and the Crossfire Hurricane investigation

Another investigation into the FBI and Justice Department was launched by Horowitz in March 2018. This investigation targeted the FBI and Justice Department's filing of four FISA applications and renewals to surveil former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page and whether or not there was an abuse of this FISA process. A redacted version of the report of the investigation was released December 9, 2019. On November 18, 2019 Senator Lindsey Graham, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, announced that Horowitz would testify before the committee on December 11 regarding the investigation and provide recommendations on how judicial and investigative systems could be improved.

On December 9, 2019, Horowitz released his report stating that the FBI found 17 "basic and fundamental" errors and omissions in its applications to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA Court), but did not find political bias during the investigation of Trump and Russia, nor did he find evidence that the FBI attempted to place people inside the Trump campaign or report on the Trump campaign. However, in a Senate hearing, Horowitz stated he could not rule out political bias as a possible motivation. The report found that the FBI had a legal "authorized investigative purpose and with sufficient factual predication" to ask for court approval to begin surveillance of Carter Page, a former Trump campaign adviser.

Pandemic Response Accountability Committee
Horowitz appointed Glenn Fine to chair the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee (PRAC), but Trump removed Fine in early April 2020. That month, Horowitz became acting chair of the PRAC.

Review of the DOJ's Zero Tolerance Policy

In January 2021, the Inspector General for the Department of Justice concluded an investigation into the "zero tolerance" policy, finding that: department leaders underestimated the difficulty of implementing it, failed to tell local prosecutors and others that children would be separated; failed to understand that separations would last longer than a few hours; and failed to halt the policy after that was discovered. The findings led Rod Rosenstein, who had been Trump's Attorney General at the time the policy was enforced, to admit that family separations "should never have been implemented".  According to an NBC News report on the investigation, "The report could provide a road map for the incoming Biden administration to investigate those responsible for a policy President-elect Joe Biden has called criminal."

Review of the DOJ on the attempts to overturn the 2020 U.S. presidential election
After the New York Times report in January 2021 alleged that some officials in the Justice Department attempted to work with President Trump in order to overturn the election, Horowitz announced that he will open up an investigation regarding the allegation.

Personal life
In 2000, he married Alexandra Leigh Kauffman in Leesburg, Virginia. Kauffman is a former field producer for CNN covering economics and personal finance.

Nov 19, 2009 Rancho Santa Margarita, CA – TruPlug™ is the modern solution for emergency leaks on any boat. Developed by Artelier Studio LLC and distributed by Forespar, the TruPlug™ is a soft, cone shaped plug designed to conform to the unpredictable shapes of most hull breaches. Whether it's a round hole caused by mechanical failure, or an elongated tear due to impact, TruPlug's shape adapts to the leak.
Unlike old fashioned wooden plugs, TruPlug's soft cone shape form allows it to be compressed by hand or cut to fit. It's proprietary foam formulation is specifically designed to fill irregular shapes, effectively reducing or eliminating most incoming water flows. Unlike hard plugs, TruPlug™ can also be forced into hard-to-reach locations, yet still works to seal most seacocks, valves, thru hull fittings and hoses.
Tested for over a year in simulated and real life situations, TruPlug™ has already been successfully used to stop emergency leaks by several west coast safety vessels. TruPlug™ is an essential addition to any boat's safety resources, but is not guaranteed to stop or slow all water leaks.
TruPlug™ was developed by prominent Channel Islands yachtsman,Henry Goldman, as a modern alternative to emergency wooden plugs. Forespar has entered into a worldwide exclusive marine marketing agreement for TruPlug with Goldman's company, Artelier Studio LLC. Patents are pending in the United States and worldwide.
Forespar® is one of the oldest, most established boat hardware manufacturers in the United States. Their diverse line of marine products includes carbon fiber poles, Leisure Furl™ boom furling systems, Marelon® plumbing fittings and numerous other marine related products.

The following is a guest post by my new friend Henrieta, mama and owner/creator of Charlotte's Bum Butter. My own daughter Gabrielle started suffering from eczema this Fall, when she was 5 months old. It was heart breaking to see her so uncomfortable. We went to the paediatrician and were prescribed steroid cream, but she had a reaction and actually started vomiting after a few applications (we learned later that can be a side effect).
We were desperate. I connected with Henrieta and found her information on eczema so very helpful. Her bum butter has made a huge difference, as has cutting out eggs from our daughter's diet – even though we were told by the doctor that diet has no impact on eczema. It seemed like a good time to learn more about this common issue! Thanks so much Henrieta for sharing your knowledge!
Skin is the largest organ of the human body. And despite us often thinking that it separates us from the world, the opposite is true. Our skin connects us to our environment, to other people, to life outside of our bodies. It's a complex, intelligent organ that is made up of multiple layers. And it does a lot more than just wrapping itself around our bodies.
Being uncomfortable in your skin can feel like a torture, and all of us have at some point experienced the pain of having skin that is not happy.
I started a cosmetic business after learning that my baby girl was not so unique in having multiple skin issues within days of birth. The skin of babies is delicate and different in structure from the skin of adults. It's 5x more permeable than adult skin. Baby acne, cradle cap, eczema are some of the most common issues we see. I was one of the stressed-out moms looking at my baby, doing whatever I could to help and failing miserably. When the doctor put a prescription for steroid cream in my hand and I picked it up from the pharmacy and read the ingredients in it, I drew a line.
There hasn't been enough research done in the field of eczema. Our bodies are blamed, and we are told it's an autoimmune issue. The space age treatment of applying mineral oil-based product with powerful steroids on a few month-old's baby seemed like a very lazy way of covering up a real problem. I started looking for other solutions, none of which brought any results and so I searched and learned and experimented in my kitchen until I had a product that was finally making a difference.
Avoid creams that list water as the first ingredient, because despite labels of dermatologist recommended claims, they contain synthetic polymers and powerful preservatives that are known skin irritants and sensitizers.
For some babies the problem persists and even gets worse. In that case I recommend you pick up the Liver Rescue by Anthony William, or the Medical Medium as he is known on social media. Anthony's theory is that skin issues like eczema are a result of a struggling liver.
Eczema, he believes, is a reaction of the liver to copper and mercury stored there, that interacts with a dormant virus, most likely one of the strains of EBV. The virus produces a derma toxin which then causes a reaction like eczema. Our skin purges dermatoxins to take the burden off the liver and the result is dry, itchy skin or weeping painful skin. Your baby probably inherited the heavy metals from you. Copper can come from water pipes, pesticides and mercury, which was commonly used as an ingredient in dental fillings. You may have inherited these from your mother too and your liver never got the opportunity to eliminate it.
There are a few ways to deal with this issue, or more accurately help to alleviate the symptoms.
Eliminate environmental toxins. This can be quite a challenge, since a lot of clothing is infused with fire retardants and fabric brighteners. Organic cotton and bamboo may be the best way to go. Emma Rohman right here in Toronto has a great little business called Green at Home. Her blog and FB group "the Green Product Forum" gives tips on making our homes greener and cleaner.
Topical support for the skin. Coming from someone who tried everything under the Sun and ended up creating my own butter: petrolatum or mineral oil based products are not the answer. Our bodies were not designed to handle this kind of oil. Besides, mineral oil is a suspected endocrine disruptor – it causes more allergic reactions and dries the skin with long term use. Healthy baby skin is 5x more absorbent to begin with and inflamed and broken skin is even more permeable. Our bodies have no solution for the elimination of mineral oil, which has to pass through the liver to get eliminated. Unlike adult skin, baby skin is structured from saturated fatty acids. Using the right moisturizer is key. Unlike olive oil and beeswax for example, cocoa butter has small enough molecules to penetrate baby skin and nourish it from the deepest layers. That's why we use 40% of crude organic Cocoa Butter in our formulas.
Clean up your diet. Formula fed babies are given limited choices, but the amazing book "Super Nutrition for babies" written by a nutritionist and paediatrician has an entire chapter on different types of home-made formulas. Breast fed babies rely on their mom's nutrition, and by avoiding foods that feed the viruses, such as dairy and eggs, we can improve the situation. Anthony William has a long catalogue of nutritional recipes that support the liver, including a heavy metal detox smoothie to help eliminate the trouble makers from our bodies.
Reduce your stress. Eating healthy foods, regular exercise and meditation is a huge help. Try to reduce your consumption of coffee as it is a stressor for your body. Coffee forces our adrenal glands to produce stress hormones which get processed and neutralized by the liver, putting further burden on it. This not only translates in the quality of your breast milk, but in your own anxiety level. I don't know if you have noticed yet, but babies are so in tune with their mothers; they basically feel everything we feel. Your stress becomes your baby's stress. It's not only the toxins from unhealthy food their livers have to process from your milk, but also your stress hormones too. We think babies don't deal with stress! Not true! The process of development is a stressful one. New functions of the body kick in and surprise them with their intensity. Pain of growing teeth and digestion is extremely stressful for a baby, as well as your distress. Uncomfortable skin is yet another one. So take care of yourself first mama, to take care of your baby!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge Henrieta! Check out Charlotte's Bum Butter here!
At a few weeks old my little one had a rash all over his face which I was told by Drs was either baby acne or eczema. Tried so many different creams and natural ointments recommended by other mums whose babies had had the same sort of rash but nothing worked. Then came across Foderma baby eczema serum. It cleared up perfectly in 2 days. I still use it now and the baby is 9 months old.


The Kawasaki Ninja namesake has been around for three decades and has become one of the most iconic models in the sports bike segment. Combining smooth and quick power delivery with a riding position that doesn't punish the rider, the Ninja family offers a lineup that is fun and accessible.
This year, Kawasaki upgraded their 650. Introduced on the market a little over a decade ago, the middle-ground version of the popular model has received quite a few modifications for 2017. I have a soft spot for the generic, wasp-eyed look of Japanese sports bikes, it works on me. At first glance, the changes to the design don't look that dramatic: it still looks like a Ninja. It's only when you compare the previous and new generations that you really notice the differences.
It was apparently possible to make it look even more aggressive. The fairing is more chiselled, with added character lines. The shape of the headlights is more angular. The architectural elements of the chassis are more exposed and the newly redesigned structure weighs in at 193 kg, after having shed no less than 19 kg. With a seat height of 790 mm (or an inseam of 31 inches), the 650 is an accessible and versatile motorcycle.
Instead of being exposed on the side and serving as a visual element, the suspension link is now tucked under the seat, above the swing arm. Other, more discreet updates include the all-new trellis frame underlying the motorcycle that has contributed to the model's weight loss. Contrarily to some sports bike that can be daunting to straddle, the Ninja 650 feels just right. It is well balanced and don't be fooled by the size of the engine – it could easily be a good starter bike.
The engine itself has been reworked and has shed close to 2 kg in the process. The 649cc, four-stroke, parallel twin-cylinder engine is tucked in the middle of the chassis and is set up with a 180-degree crank, which means that while one piston is going up in the cylinder, the other is going down. This results in an overall smooth power delivery without too much of a buzz felt in the handles or seat. Torque is readily available in a wide range of revolutions and for 2017, the engine has been tuned in order to deliver even more low to mid-range power. Power is rated at 67 hp and peak torque is 48 lb-ft at 6,500 rpm.
This Ninja offers a great balance between a predictable, easy-to-manoeuvre urban ride and an entry-level thrill-seeking machine. It is well behaved and easy to tame – no finicky braking or acceleration hard to handle. It will do your bidding without as much as a purr. It comes standard with ABS and with a price tag of a little over $8,000, the new 2017 Ninja 650 is an excellent all-around motorcycle, whether you are jumping on two wheels for the first time or a seasoned rider. You will get to test your limits together.

I had the opportunity of mentoring Rubi in October of 2017, Rubi had become a club member in summer 2017 with her two younger brothers, Issac and Noe. From the beginning of when Rubi had become a club member, she had established herself as a kind and helpful person. This was known to club members as well as staff that Rubi was one of the sweetest club members in the teen center. I had gotten to know Rubi a little more and I knew immediately that I would be ecstatic to have her in my program.
Sure enough, Rubi said she was on board for mentorship the moment I offered it to her. For the next six months, Rubi became a blueprint of what an amazing club member and an amazing person should be like. Rubi excelled in school, she even joined the academic team for Ontario Middle School. I always had confidence in Rubi's accountability with her school work, and there was never a time where I saw her leave assignments until the last minute.
Rubi is the kind of individual that loves to accomplish work efficiently and effectively. Something I've admired greatly about Rubi is her ability to remain a kind-hearted and positive individual even if her personal life didn't always consist of positivity. Good day, or bad day, Rubi will still treat others with kindness and continue to seek the betterment of herself. That is a character trait that I believe very few individuals have.
The ability to be selfless in times where selfishness would be completely called for. Rubi Contributed to many community service projects around the club and the city. I don't even think she realizes how much she has given back to her community at such a young age. If you did remind Rubi of her accomplishments, she would just smile and continue to do great work. Rubi has never been one to seek recognition, though I know she appreciates it when it is given to her. She deserves and an immense amount of recognition as a club member and human being. Rubi is the kind of person others of all ages can learn from, and be inspired by.


Clason's book is a classic of the personal finance genre and for good reason. It takes complex subjects and conveys them to readers in simple language, colorful metaphors, and interesting stories. The tales of the gold lender, the camel trader and the luckiest man in Babylon stick with readers long after putting the book down. I've rarely heard anyone talk about concepts like loans and collateral, the connection between financial and social integrity, and the rewards of hard work without wanting to fall asleep, but Clason makes it exciting.
I will not discuss the book's Seven Cures for a Lean Purse and the Five Laws of Gold here*, though it's a testament to Truth with a capital 'T' that the same financial principles that worked a century ago (and more) apply equally well today. Save your money; spend less than you earn; invest it; don't take stupid risks. Like the Book of Ecclesiastes, or the Book of Job, in the Bible, his words strike to the core of human experience regardless of time or place.
This is not to say that the book is the embodiment of perfection. I for one would have preferred if Clason had fewer characters and instead followed the story of Bansir and Kabba for longer. Moreover, later in the book he takes a step back from life in Babylon to the life of archeologists studying the ruins of Babylon. While this shifting of times and settings make sense in the flow of the book, Clason's modern world isn't half as captivating as his ancient world, and he would have been better served staying the course.
*Though of course I'll list them here at the bottom.
Gold leaves someone who invests it in things they're not familiar with, or are not approved of by other wealthy people.

More details have been released on the homicide investigation into the death of Arthur Brown, who was shot dead in Māngere, Auckland earlier on Sunday.
Detective Inspector Tofilau Faa Vaaelua says Mr Brown was shot dead by a group of three men while waiting for a friend to pick him up from shops on Vine Street just before 1am on March 10.
"Three people approached him on foot and shot him twice in a senseless act of violence that left a newborn baby without a father," Inspector Vaaelua said in a press conference this afternoon.
Mr Brown was shot with some form of shotgun, once in the neck and collarbone on his left side and once on his right rear back, according to police.
Social media reports have linked Mr Brown to the Bloods gang Inspector Vaaelua said, however police could not confirm this.
He called on those who know anything about the shooting to come forward with information, and said the people responsible need to "man up" and hand themselves into police.
The three alleged offenders were caught on CCTV and seen by eyewitnesses.
Anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact Counties Manukau Police on 09 261 1321, or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Q: Why aren't my conditional statements working in php? This code will run right out of the box, the issue is that it keeps hittign the "pvp" cconditional statement rather than the "account_name" statement... and clearly gw2action is "account_name"....

A: Use == when comparing values, one = is assignment and == is is used to compare the value of the variable on the left to the string in this case on the right.
So if($gw2action = "pvp") is actually assigning the value of pvp to $gw2action, it should be if($gw2action == "pvp") etc

A: You are using the assign operator inside an elseif condition. It always returns a true, I think. You have = the assignment operator, == the 'equal' comparison operator and === the 'identical' comparison operator.
this answer may help.

Cruising the Karoo's Flourishing Wilds
Lonely wind pumps and serene sheep suggest a more humdrum countryside, but this route takes in the best views of this vast region and returns to its untouched spaces.
What is it that makes a perfectly iconic Karoo road trip?
I turn off the N1 just before Colesburg and pass Gariep Dam, leaving the Free State for the Eastern Cape with this thought playing on my mind. These flat and endlessly open roads are perfect for brainy brooding. I'm plotting a cross-province road trip with a difference – combining everything the Karoo is (peculiar padstals, creaky windpompies and long straight roads that lick the horizon) and was (a sprawling wild space teeming with handsome antelope herds pursued by lions and cheetahs, and dinosaurs before them).
On the R390 heading for Steynsburg a road sign warns against potholes, but I'm pleasantly surprised to see they've all been patched up and I can easily keep the pedal at 120 kilometres an hour, with the straight skyline ahead of me. I don't pass another car for more than an hour, but I do pass picturesque wind-pump silhouettes and two burnt-out cars, one of them upside down, rusting on its rooftop.
Yup, this is a Karoo journey all right.
I'm further encouraged when I get to Hofmeyr and meet a goat in the main road. It poses for a picture in front of the pastel-pink church in the middle of town, before clipping off down the tar to find something to nibble on. I dip into the Karoobos Padstal to find a little something for myself. After picking up a packet of koeksisters, I carry on towards home for the next two nights, the new chalets at Mountain Zebra National Park outside Cradock.
The landscapes here are astonishing. Initially proclaimed to protect the park's Cape mountain zebra (when there were just 11 of them left), the first predators, the also critically endangered cheetah, were introduced to the park just 12 years ago. Later, lions joined them.
Sergeant ranger Donovan Antonie describes the natural workings of the park to me. 'In 2010 the lions were introduced and pushed the buffalo around, preying on them. We had about 300 buffalo but their numbers quickly dropped as the lions ate nearly 10 a month. It took about two years for this to stabilise, and now the buffalo have moved into different areas of the park, exploring new grazing, which is better for the plant life. The lions have also stabilised the cheetah population – at one point we had 32 in the park that were causing springbok numbers to drop. Once the lions came home, the chain was complete.'
The park now has more than a thousand Cape mountain zebra, as well as the fierce-looking but sweet-natured aardwolf, black rhinos, blue cranes and a number of other precious species in a 're-wilding' of the Karoo that is based on an area bigger than just this one park – the conservation area almost 120 kilometres long will link two national parks through a partnership between SANParks and 65 private landowners, which was officially instated by the Department of Environmental Affairs earlier this year. This ambitious conservation project is known as the Mountain Zebra-Camdeboo Protected Environment or, more simply, the Karoo Corridor.
I enjoy sunrise surrounded by the squeaks of black wildebeest on the grasslands of the Kranskop Loop in the park, then make my way to the fabled Camdeboo. On the road heading to Graaff-Reinet, it feels like sacrilege to bypass Nieu Bethesda, so I make the easy 40-kilometre detour and visit the Owl House. I've been before, but am still impressed by the myriad crazy statues and glittering glass walls so creatively manifested in this dusty village.
Passing a horse-drawn carriage on the road out of town, I take the faster tarred pass back to the N9 and enjoy a little drive around Graaff-Reinet. With more than 200 buildings proclaimed as national monuments and an entire street restored, this fourth-oldest town in South Africa has certainly retained its historical Karoo charm – and it's almost completely surrounded by a national park.
The Valley of Desolation (another national monument) is undoubtedly the Camdeboo's biggest drawcard. The sunset on a good day is breathtaking, and the park stays open late so visitors can enjoy the full colour spectrum, which I take advantage of.
It's hard to believe that just an hour away, elephants have returned to the plains of Camdeboo. A herd of six was introduced to Samara Game Reserve at the end of 2017 – the first time ellies have roamed this part of the Karoo in roughly 200 years. Samara is one of the private properties involved in the Karoo Corridor project, and manager Marnus Ochse excitedly fills me in on the details.
'Once it's proclaimed as a nationally protected space, it will also protect the land from any fracking and uranium mining', he says. In its successful fruition, the Karoo Corridor will see 286343 hectares of private and public land protected and preserved in the region.
'I'm sure in my time here at Samara, we can see the fences drop between us and Camdeboo National Park – it's possible because there's a bit of farmland between us and the owners seem positive about the unification.'
In my pursuit of more Karoo wilderness, I have one more stop: the Karoo National Park is just outside Beaufort West. It's an effortless two-hour drive via Aberdeen on the N9 and R61. The rocky plains seem barren in the dry midday heat, but two ostrich scuttled across the road and in the distance springbok shimmer in the haze. It might look like a lot of boring brown landscape but the sprawling park has more than 14 different vegetation types.
The rest camp is a welcome refuge from the heat, set in a picturesque valley, and all the cottages face the soft backdrop of the Nuweveld Mountains. After checking in, I have a look at the map. There are some serious 4x4 routes that cut across the remote areas of the park, but my little Ford Figo does perfectly well climbing Klipspringer's Pass, which provides amazing views of the surrounding plains. I even spot an oryx in the valley below.
Given that you can find five South African tortoise species in this park, it doesn't surprise me that it has always been a reptile hotspot. Back at camp in the cooler afternoon, I walk the fascinating Fossil Trail and wind my way through history to a time when dinosaurs once roamed these parts.
Watching the rocky sunset picture show from my Cape Dutch-style stoep, I think I've done justice to following a route that explores everything the Karoo is - and was.
It's heartening to know, too, that work is being done to create more.
How to road trip through the Great karoo
Day 1 & 2: Gariep to Mountain Zebra National Park
DISTANCE 210km ALLOW 3 hours
Turn off the N1 and drive the R58 over the Gariep Dam wall (stop to take some photos). Then just before Venterstad, turn right onto the R390 – it's a flat, scenic drive that passes through Steynsburg and Hofmeyr (stop at the Karoobos Padstal for country snacks) before reaching Cradock. Here, fill up with fuel and get food supplies at Spar or Pick n Pay before driving the last 10km stretch to Mountain Zebra National Park on the R61. Spend two nights in the park at the gorgeous rock chalets as it'll give you a full morning to do the highly recommended cheetah tracking.
DAY 3: Mountain Zebra to Camdeboo National Park
After breakfast, head towards Graaff-Reinet on the R61. Once you hit the N9, turn right and immediately left on the 28km dirt pass that goes to Nieu Bethesda (signage is very clear). Check out the famous Owl House and grab Karoo tapas at The Karoo Lamb. Leave the village, taking the faster 24km tarred road out to the N9, and drive to Graaff-Reinet. Once in town, you can explore the various museums or antiques stores, followed by good coffee and milk tart at Polka.
If you have time to kill, do the game-viewing loop in Camdeboo National Park (entrance gate 4km out of town on the N9) before doubling back to the Valley of Desolation for sunset – 5km out of town on the R63. The park's Lakeview Tented Camp is a great budget option to spend the night, or splurge at Samara.
DAY 4: Camdeboo to Karoo National Park
DISTANCE 230km ALLOW 1 hour
Drive through Graaff-Reinet once more and take the N9 to Aberdeen (60km). Grab pancakes and proper coffee at Blue Door Café and then head down the R61 to Beaufort West and the Karoo National Park – 170km in total. Spend the night at the main rest camp.

Samsung has unveiled two new smartwatches – the Gear 2 (pictured) and Gear 2 Neo. They join the Galaxy Gear, which was released alongside the Galaxy Note 3 last September in the manufacturer's smartwatch portfolio.
The announcements come on the eve of Mobile World Congress, with Samsung expected to launch the Galaxy S5 tomorrow night.
They will be available globally from April and be compatible with more than a dozen Samsung Galaxy smartphones at launch. Details on UK pricing and availability will be announced in due course.
Both are powered by a 1GHz processor and are based on the Tizen wearable platform, enabling Bluetooth calls, text messages, media control, calendar and Samsung's voice recognition service S Voice when connected to a compatible Samsung device.
They have a 1.63-inch screen, a camera on the screen rather than the strap, HD video playback and recording, music player with a Bluetooth headset and speaker, as well as WatchON remote application, which lets the user control other electronic products in the home, such as a TV or a set-top box, through the embedded IrLED feature.
Both are also IP67 certified dust and water resistant, include noise cancellation technology, have 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal memory and a 300mAh battery that Samsung said provides 2-3 days of typical use. They also offer personal fitness coaching to the user, including a heart rate sensor and pedometer.
The Gear 2 weighs 68g compared to the 55g weight of the Gear 2 Neo and has a two megapixel camera as opposed to the Gear 2 Neo, which doesn't include a camera.
The Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo will both come in black and orange. The former will be available in brown, whilst the latter will also come in grey.

The notes below are general guidelines with respect to computer hardware you use. We strongly recommend you find a local IT Support Professional group which can make specific recommendations to the exact hardware you should purchase and provide support for you and your business. It's important to have local IT support that can assist with hardware networking issues. The local relationship will provide long term stability for your business and the software it runs on.
Hardware, printer setup, and networking is not serviced by White Light Computing.
Antiques SOS for Windows is a Windows product. It runs on any version of the Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, or Windows 10 operating machines (desktop or laptop), as well as Windows XP and Vista.
Windows 7 , Windows 8/8.1, Windows 10: standard memory with 4 GB or more.
Windows XP or Windows Vista: standard memory with 2 GB or more.
Apple and Linux operating systems: SOS will not run on these.
Tablet or cell phone technology: SOS is not designed to run on these yet.
SOS is a Windows product, and is not designed for Apple Macintosh or the Linux operating systems. SOS is not yet designed to be utilized on tablet format technology. While SOS runs on the Home versions of Windows, White Light Computing recommends using the Professional versions of Windows in business environments because they have more robust networking capabilities.
Recommended: Minimally an i5 processors, preferably i7 processors.
We do not recommend having McAfee on your computer whatsoever. However, it is important to have a good anti-virus program. Consulting your local hardware technician about removing McAfee and what antivirus is best for you is a smart decision before installing SOS.
If you have purchased Antiques SOS for Windows LITE or PREMIUM, you have the ability to network multiple computers to work simultaneously out of SOS. To do so, the main computer is considered your server computer. Talking with a local hardware technician to have the best understanding of your server needs and hardware requirements.
SOS should be able to print on almost any printer you choose to use, with the exception of dot matrix printers. We have always had superb performance and longevity from modern Hewlett Packard laser printers. However, please note that for the end of day reports, Laser printers will be much more economical to operate than ink jet printers.
SOS can print customer receipts on laser jet or ink jet printers in two formats – a full 8 ½" x 11" paper or a smaller 8 ½" x 7" paper. You cannot find 8 ½" x 7" paper in the stores, but you can purchase legal paper which is 8 ½" wide by 14" long and slice it horizontally (or have your printer or a copying service slice it for you) and end up with two sets of 8 ½" x 7" stacks of paper for receipts. The end of day reports, all management reports and dealer payout reports are all designed for 11" paper.
SOS can print customer receipts on the "receipt printers" which use approximately 3" wide rolls. You'll still need a larger printer to run reports and seller payouts. Most users choose either a Star TSP143 thermal printer (which can print two single copies back to back very quickly) or a Star SP512 impact printer which prints a white and yellow carbonless copy. The thermal printer is faster and quieter and has an option for you to print a store logo or other image at the top of each receipt. Both model receipt printers can be purchased through our company – for $240 (includes shipping and tax*).
Users can keep their money in any container they wish. SOS can work with some of the electronic cash drawers so that the cash drawer pops open when you make a cash sale. SOS customizing questions in the Cash Drawer topic let you also specify if the cash drawer should open for a check sale or a credit card sale.
SOS works well with the electronic cash drawers manufactured by M-S Cash Drawer Company, Pasadena, California. We have been selling drawers from this company for more than 20 years and have never had any problems with them.
SOS may or may not work with cash drawers from other manufacturers. One problem is that cash drawers do not have the manufacturer name written upon them. Even if the manufacturer is known, it's not always possible to know the character sequences required to be sent to make that drawer open. So if you have a cash drawer other than one made by M-S Cash Drawer company, it may or may not work with SOS. Cash drawers can be purchased through our company – for $245 (includes shipping and tax*).

Schuette, Whitmer spar separately on schools, jobless fraud
Leonard N. Fleming
Detroit — Gubernatorial opponents Gretchen Whitmer and Bill Schuette discussed their stark differences on how to govern the state in separate interviews Friday — from education to the state unemployment insurance fraud scandal to taxes.
At the luncheon sponsored by the Chaldean Chamber of Commerce, Fox 2 News' Charlie Langston first interviewed Whitmer, the Democratic former Senate minority leader, and then Republican Schuette, the sitting attorney general.
They both accused the other of being wrong for the state. Whitmer said Schuette opposed common-sense legislation to help keep Michiganians in the state. Schuette, who wants to cut the income tax, said Whitmer would set back Michigan with tax hikes and a curtailed economy.
This month, attorneys told Michigan Supreme Court justices that they should revive a class-action lawsuit for out-of-work residents who were falsely accused of unemployment insurance fraud and continue to suffer financial and personal consequences.
Tens of thousands of claimants were wrongly flagged for fraud and penalized by the Michigan Unemployment Insurance Agency, which relied on an error-prone automated computer system over a nearly two-year span beginning in 2013. Gov. Rick Snyder oversee the agency.
"It is unconscionable that the state did what they did to 40,00 people," said Whitmer, who blamed Schuette for helping to drive some people into bankruptcy.
"There are 40,000 hard-working people in this state who didn't do a darn thing wrong," she said. "But because of computer malfunction, our attorney general started pursuing charges against people who didn't do anything wrong. Many of these people were driven into bankruptcy, their marriages failed."
Schuette said his job as attorney general to represent the state and Snyder in these matters, but that people in the end were "wronged" by the state government.
"State government injured people, basically," he said. "I have constitutional responsibilities. ... Now I disagreed with what happened and made it very clear that I thought that people were injured. It was unjust. The folks who got injured financially ought to be reimbursed. Period."
When told that didn't happen, Schuette said, "I'm not the governor, I don't run the state of Michigan."
On education, Whitmer said she wants to improve it in a "bipartisan way. It's making sure that we're spending what it takes to educate our kids."
Schuette said education in the state "is about outcomes" but it's "outrageous" that Michigan's third grade reading scores are among the lowest in the nation.
The one thing they did agree on: Eliminating the so-called "pension tax" on retirement income by restoring an exemption that was eliminated by Snyder and the GOP-led Legislature in 2011. Eliminating it would cost the state about $280 million a year.

As many as 20 people have died in landslides, floods and other rain-related incidents in Kerala.
The Kochi airport has cancelled all arrivals indefinitely; water levels in the Periyar river close to it are expected to increase, after the Idukki dam released water around 12:30 pm today as part of a trial run.
The sluice gates of the dam are expected to remain open till 4:30 pm.
But things could get worse. If the water level rises to the red-alert mark even after the trial run, all shutters will be opened to flush out more water. This may happen in the next 24 hours, given the amount of rain the region is receiving.
If that comes to pass, water levels in the Periyar could rise even further.
When the Idukki dam was last opened in 1992, many low-lying areas near the Periyar's banks were flooded. Keeping that in mind, the district administration has now evacuated residents of such areas.
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan told reporters the situation was critical. He said his government had sought support of the Army, the Navy and the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF).
"Three NDRF teams have reached various districts, 2 are on their way and we have called in an additional 6 teams as well. The shutters of 22 dams have been opened in the state, and more will be opened. This is an unprecedented situation," Vijayan said.

SINGING OUT
WATCH: Out Vocalist Mary Lambert Is Ready For 2014 With Gorgeous Holiday Standard
By Jeremy Kinser December 19, 2013 at 8:12am
If you don't know Mary Lambert's name, you certainly know her voice heard to memorable effect on the soaring chorus of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' inescapable anthem "Same Love." The out vocalist also held her own opposite another powerhouse Jennifer Hudson when the two paired up to sing their faces off at the VMAs last August. With some luck, the Seattle-based singer-songwriter could soon become a star in her own right as her debut EP, Welcome To The Age Of My Body, is now available today on iTunes and Amazon.
Above, she offers a haunting, plaintive take on the New Year's Eve standard "Auld Lang Syne." Below is Lambert's newly-released lyric video for her searing first single "She Keeps Me Warm," from which the chorus of "Same Love" was lifted.

A pure and beautiful voice! Nice version of Macklemore and Lewis' award winning song and video. However, the original has a more powerful and universal message.

Government and its commercial and not-for-profit partners are stumping up $8 million across 20 projects aimed at getting 64,000 electric vehicles on the road by 2021.
Energy and Resources Minister Megan Woods unveiled the projects today and said the government will contribute $3.7 million towards the initiatives, with the balance coming from its partners, who have to match or beat the grants. The money comes from the Low Emission Vehicles Contestable Fund, which was introduced by the previous administration in 2016 as a wider plan to lift the uptake of electric vehicles. As of December, there were 6,162 EVs on local roads.
"The projects we are funding show there's an EV for almost every job or use in New Zealand, be it delivering fruit and veg or taking a holiday," Woods said in a statement.
Other projects announced today include $500,000 for freight logistics company Coda, Zero Emission Vehicles and Bay Dairy to design and manufacture an electric truck to shuttle dairy products from the Fonterra Te Rapa dairy factory to the Fonterra Crawford Street freight hub in Hamilton. Coda is a joint venture between Port of Tauranga and Kotahi, a logistics company owned by Fonterra and Silver Fern Farms.
Two new products in the works: an all-terrain vehicle and a standalone battery that could replace traditional portable generators.

One airlifted, two others injured in reported head-on collision near Forney
FORNEY, Texas — One person was airlifted and two others were injured in a reported head-on collision in Forney on Monday afternoon.
The crash was reported just after 4 p.m. on Farm-to-Market (FM) 740 near Markout Central.
Upon arrival, firefighters reported heavy damage to the vehicles, closed the roadway, and requested a CareFlite medical helicopter and two ambulances.
One person was airlifted to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, Texas, in unknown condition. Two others were taken by ambulance to Children's Medical Center in Dallas. Their conditions are unknown.
Two vehicles were towed from the scene.
The Texas Department of Public Safety is investigating.

If their gym bag has seen better days… now is the time to replace it with something new!

Nai-Ni Chen went to China's Silk Road and got caught in a whirlwind. The mosaic of cultures and nature she observed on a summer of travel inspired her to choreograph a contemporary dance embodying the spirit of this ancient trade route.
"Whirlwind is the cultures, art, energies and people coming from different parts of the world and somehow meeting here on the Silk Road and intertwined," the Taiwan native choreographer and artistic director of Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company says. "I refer back to the whirlwind - this natural phenomenon in the desert - and use that as a starting point to move the language and set the structure for the dance."
Whirlwind is the product of two years of planning and collaboration. The two-part, hour long dance incorporates eight men and women dancers from the United States, Italy, Russia and South Korea, as well as original music by percussionist Glen Velez and visual art by Jayanthi Moorthy of India.
During the New York premiere at Salvatore Capezio Theater at Peridance, with two performances over the weekend, partially unclad dancers in silk earth-toned costumes glistened with sweat from the fluctuating, and sometimes acrobatic, movements.
"I try to explore contrasts in terms of rhythm and dynamics," Chen says. "Like when you listen to music with one instrument on top of another or if you look at the many components in nature that overlap, you'll see layers of movement that overlap with the dancers."
The dance employs trance, rhythmic breathing and spiral motions to emulate the shape and energy of a desert whirlwind. It also adopts from traditional characters like Mongolian horsemen and flying eagles as well as the celebratory movements of the Uygur people.
"There are a lot of folk elements in these dances," Chen says. "Folk dancing is very beautiful. It doesn't matter which culture the folk dancing is from, it represents the human spirit, it comes from the people. It's a great inspiration."
The greatest challenge Chen found in choreographing her work was representing all the experiences she had along the Silk Road, including the ancient caves and murals in Dunhuang, Muslim life in mosques, the nomadic Mongolian life and the natural world of mountains, grasses and desert.
"It's hard to start in the beginning and find the place to put your foot down," Chen says. "It took a lot of improvisation with the dancers to really find what I want to say."
Seven dancers begin the dance standing in two staggered lines as a group of travelers in a caravan, slowly leaning back and forth. Then, in a moment, they begin twirling and jumping as though caught in the desert wind.
"It's like watching an abstract painting," Chen says. "You can find your own story rather than the painter telling you exactly what the story is about."
Apart from Whirlwind, Chen has developed another modern work based on her Silk Road experience called Mirage, based on Uygur dance and music.
The choreographer imagines this sensory overload and excess of material she possesses will lead to a Silk Road series.
"There's so much more to say," Chen says, who plans to visit the road again and explore Central Asia next. "It's going to take many more years to develop this idea."
Whirlwind was created with support from a Live Music for Dance grant from New Music USA, which is supported in part by the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation.
Before the first performance commenced in the evening of April 13, Martin Wechsler, director of programming at Joyce Theater who attends an average of three to four dance performances a week, said he doubted Whirlwind would make it to the Joyce stage because the theater prefers to showcase New York premieres.
However, after the winded dancers took their bows, Wechsler admitted he might have to reconsider.
"That was very good," he says.

Apple won't bring major updates to Mac, AirPods, Apple Watch, and … – BGR
As Apple is expected to enter a new market in 2023 with its Mixed Reality headset, the company won't have other big announcements. In his latest Power On newsletter, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says this will be a pretty mild year for the company.
Besides the Mixed Reality headset and the iPhone 15 models, this won't be a good year for AirPods, Mac, iPad, and Apple Watch models. Here's why.
According to Mark Gurman, Apple plans to update some Macs in 2023 but won't have breakthrough features like the first generation of M1 Macs with impressive battery life or a redesign.
Apple is expected to introduce new high-end MacBook Pro models early this year, but apart from the new M2 Pro and M2 Max chips, there are no other impressive features that users should look forward to seeing.
The Mac Pro will likely make its way to stores in 2023, but this is another product that won't be as interesting as previously rumored. As covered by BGR, Gurman says this computer will have the same design as its predecessor and will feature the M2 Ultra chip. Still, as of now, it's unclear how pro users will differentiate this desktop from the Mac Studio, which is way cheaper than a Mac Pro machine.
Last but not least, Gurman doesn't expect a new iMac this year, no 12-inch MacBook either, but maybe a 15-inch MacBook Air.
Mark Gurman says Apple is working on larger iPads, but they won't be announced in 2023. The rumored OLED iPad Pro will make its way in 2024, and the journalist doesn't expect "more than a spec bump – if they arrive at all" – to the iPad mini, iPad Air, or entry-level iPad.
Of all these iPad models, the only one that lacks an update is the iPad mini, which its latest generation was unveiled at the end of 2021. The M1 iPad Air was unveiled less than a year ago, and the entry-level iPad was just updated.
After three new Apple Watch models were introduced in 2022, Apple is not ready for anything more than "some minor performance boosts." In fact, apart from the Apple Watch Ultra, the Cupertino company didn't announce anything groundbreaking with the Series 8 and SE 2 models.
With this report by Gurman, the Series 9 version might have a new processor but no new sensors. It's unclear if the company will launch a new Apple Watch Ultra yearly.
In his Power On newsletter, Gurman says he doesn't think Apple will introduce any new AirPods model in 2023. Analyst Jeff Pu already reported the same. The only AirPods model that could have a successor is the AirPods Max, but it doesn't seem to be the case for this year.
After two new Apple TV models in two years, Apple is also not expected to launch new set-top boxes in 2023. The current version has the A15 chip, HDR10+ support, and Thread support as well. The Siri Remote now features a USB-C port as well.
Last but not least, Gurman indeed expected a new HomePod model. With a lower price, it will have "an updated touch control panel on the top and the S8 chip from the latest Apple Watches in a design similar to the model from 2018."

Competitive nature leads North's Kiley Jarrett to hall of fame [Herald-Times, Bloomington, Ind.]
By Jim Gordillo The Herald-Times, Herald-Times, Bloomington, Ind.
Jul. 11--The phone rang. Kiley Jarrett was out running a few errands on her time off and answered it, fully expecting to spend the next few minutes helping someone who wanted to tap into her legal knowledge as a Bloomington police officer.
Instead, the familiar voice of Mark Deal greeted her, passing along some happy, but unexpected news that left her at a loss for words. After she hung up, she found herself spending the next few minutes reliving her days as a newly minted teenager in the National Guard Armory gym with the Bloomington Shooters AAU basketball program.
Dribbling, shooting, passing, down in a defensive stance, having the time of her life with a group of girls who had big goals.
Jarrett was certainly one who met them, as a standout point guard at Bloomington North, helping the Cougars make it to semistate in 2003 and becoming an Indiana All-Star. Then on to Ball State where she helped orchestrate one of the greatest upsets in NCAA Women's Tournament history. But after Deal informed her she was a member of the 2019 class to be inducted to the Monroe County Sports Hall of Fame, she turned to a time before all that success came her way.
"It's such an honor to be considered one of the best athletes in Monroe County history," Jarrett said. "It's such a huge sports community. It's an awesome feeling.
"And with the ceremony coming up, it got me thinking about where I came from. There were 11 or 12 of us, all from Bloomington. We knew we were good back then, but we didn't know how special. It's where it all started."
What had always made Jarrett special was a level of competitiveness and sizable heart that left anyone who sold the 5-foot-4 bundle of energy short soundly embarrassed. But she always tempered it with a quick smile or a laugh in lighter moments.
"The story my grandpa always brings up is, when I was probably old enough to walk and talk, we were in the yard and I picked up a baseball," Jarrett said. "I said, 'Grandpa, teach me to throw like a boy.'"
Not surprisingly, Jarrett played for a travel all-star baseball team when she was 9. She gave pee-wee football a go. And softball. Her parents bought her a set of clubs and she continued to play golf while at North. Some figured it should have been her main calling. She was the shortest player on the court after all. What chance did she have to get any playing time in college?
"I think that's where my competitive nature came back in," Jarrett said. "I played golf and basketball and a lot of people would tell me, due to my size, that I should go the golf route. There were plenty of scholarship opportunities there.
"But I think I wanted to prove people wrong about my size. It was always brought up that I might not be able to compete at a high level."
She drank in basketball like water. Cartoons on TV? Nah, flip it to SportsCenter. And not only did she want to show she could play, she wanted to make sure anyone else her size who came along wouldn't be doubted either. Further motivation came when she noticed college coaches, such as then Ball State assistant Stephanie White, showing up for her freshman season opener at Southport in 2001.
Just months before, Steve Goddard was handed the reins at North, inheriting Jarrett and a special group that included 2018 MCSHoF honoree Whitney Thomas, three-sport star Lydia Serfling (soccer, track), speedster Brittany Ross and Gennie Benson.
For the first time in seven years, the Cougars posted a winning record (14-8) and went 74-19 the next three years as Kaity Stratten and Lori Whitaker (Coastal Carolina), Taryn Bridgwaters, Whitney Sexton and Carrie Deal just added to the depth and talent of those teams. They became like family.
But Jarrett was the constant, averaging 12 points, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1.5 rebounds while never missing a game.
"I think about the first time I ever saw Kiley play," Goddard said. "It was in a pick-up game at North and I just told (then athletic director) Ralph Sieboldt I would (take the job).
"She was everywhere. She was competitive. You could just tell we were going to build around her being our point guard. She was just a great leader, a tremendous competitor. But we had a lot of those. That's why we did so well. They put the team ahead of themselves. They wanted to win and cared about winning for North."
Curt Simic came on board as an assistant in 2004, but had watched the semistate game as a radio color commentator. He also knew Jarrett from his P.E. classes.
"From her freshman year, she enjoyed kicking people's butts, guys, whoever," Simic said. "The bigger they were, the more she enjoyed beating them.
"But it didn't come off as a negative. She just loved being out there playing and winning and getting after it. She always looked like she was having a blast. There were times I'd send her to the water fountain just so somebody else could score in floor hockey."
Jarrett was North's second leading scorer as a sophomore and junior when the Cougars went 23-3 and 18-4, and led the way her senior year after Thomas suffered a knee injury in a mid-December game. The Cougars were 7-1 and ranked in the top five, when the news came back that Thomas was done for the year.
Goddard gathered the team in the locker room. No. 1 Castle was coming to town in two days. They'd lost to the Knights in double overtime the year before, so it was already an emotional time. He gave them a choice to make.
"I said, 'Look, if you want to go home, we'll come back tomorrow and move on,'" Goddard said. "You can feel bad today and that's fine, because I feel bad."
It wasn't long before Jarrett was knocking on the door of the coaches office. They wanted to practice. Hard. They beat Castle, 45-41, and finished 19-4.
"It was a devastating moment for our team," Jarrett said. "As close as Whitney and I were, it hit hard. Whitney was a great basketball player, and when something like that happens, you can go one of two ways: fold and let the season be over, or dedicate the season to someone who had made a great impact.
"When Whitney went down, we knew we had to play that season for her. If it were one of us, Whitney would have done everything she could to make the season the best it could possibly be."
The same sort of reasoning hit Jarrett after the terrorist attacks of 9/11. It was a devastating moment to which she would dedicate the rest of her life.
Military service was not an option due to basketball, so Jarrett decided to major in criminal justice in college. She signed with Ball State and was a constant presence on the floor there as well, using the same chip on her shoulder with her that pushed her to be an Indiana All-Star in 2005.
Her senior year, Ball State knocked off Curt Miller's Bowling Green squad to win the Mid-American Conference Tournament and steal a berth to the NCAAs. The Cardinals were sent to Bowling Green, Ky., to face defending national champion Tennessee.
Sure, Pat Summitt's Volunteers were young and in rebuilding mode, but 12th-seeded Ball State was still a mighty underdog. Jarrett and fellow guard Porchia Green had a field day breaking down the Vols' defense. Jarrett, with Goddard proudly looking on, finished with 14 points and an unforgettable memory.
The Cards were beaten two days later by Iowa State and suddenly, Jarrett's playing days were over. She hired an agent and looked into playing overseas, but couldn't find the right fit and being so far away from her family wasn't going to work, either.
"I was at peace with it," Jarrett said. "That high from the Tennessee game brought everything full circle. I was fine with that being the end of my playing days."
Jarrett is now a senior patrol officer and a year ago, became a K-9 handler. She owned three dogs already and was thrilled to add Ike, the department's 6-year-old German shepherd, as a partner.
But Jarrett has not strayed far away from basketball, dabbling a bit in coaching as time permits as an assistant at North and last year, with Simic at Edgewood.
"You knew whatever she'd chose to do, she'd go all out and excel," Simic said. "We were fortunate to have her with us last year. She did a great job and the kids really responded to her.
"She embodies why certain people are elevated into halls of fame. You want those people in your community and we're richer for having her serve here. She's a tremendous inspiration."

Following a busy week at the show, the Cheetah team is happy to report a vibrant and buzzing Seawork. The new home of Mayflower Park, Southampton has proved a huge success as a very professional and accessible venue.
Sean Strevens, Cheetah designer said "We rely on Seawork for introductions to new customers to secure orders in the coming months.
As Europe's largest commercial marine & workboat show, the exhibition attracts a very high caliber of clients which suits our growing worldwide market.
We really encourage all visitors to Seawork, or anyone interested in buying a Cheetah to view the different models under build in the workshops and test the Cheetah from Ventnor Haven on the south side of the Isle of Wight."
The new containerised Cheetah powered by Proteum's Oxe diesel outboard engine attracted considerable interest and ran continuous demonstrations in Southampton Water.
Recent deliveries include two versions of Cheetah Marine's new 6.9m series, both for private leisure use.

Home Entertainment A tribute to Terry Pratchett
A tribute to Terry Pratchett
We learned today that renowned fantasy author Terry Pratchett has died at the age of 66. As a longtime fan of his writing, as I'm sure many of you are, it's a hugely sad day. Since first borrowing one of his books (Guards! Guards!) from a friend back in the 1990s, I've been not just reading his books but devouring them whole. His Discworld novels are a comical send-up of the fantasy genre, but serve as far more than simple spoofs. They contain clever and engaging stories, lovable and memorable characters, incredible humor, and brilliant satire on modern life, culture, and politics.
Most books I buy, I eventually wind up giving to friends or donating to our library, but never his. They're too important to me, because in them I found more than just hours of entertainment. I found the desire to become a writer. I'm confident I would not be writing these words, nor any words, without him. There are plenty of authors who made me daydream about someday being a writer, but his books were different. They inspired me to sit down in front of a keyboard and actually become one. For this, I'm forever grateful.
It goes without saying that many connections can be drawn between Pratchett's writing career and the rise of PC gaming. The most obvious, naturally, are the games themselves: The Colour of Magic, the text adventure from 1986; Discworld, Discworld 2, and Discworld Noir, all point-and-click adventures; and Discworld MUD, a text based role-playing game.
Terry pratchett, on the cover of the first pc gamer
In 1993, Pratchett appeared on the cover PC Gamer Magazine—the very first issue of the magazine, in fact. Inside, he was interviewed by Gary Whitta about his books and the upcoming Discworld adventure game.
Pratchett played plenty of games himself. He loved computers in general, and he told PC Gamer he enjoyed games like Wing Commander, X-Wing, and Prince of Persia. He described the addictive nature of Tetris as "a computer virus which human beings can catch."
He was, interestingly, a completionist. "I get to the end of everything," he said, on the topic of games that pose a frustrating challenge. "I sit there banging my head against the screen until I finish."When approached to have his work developed into what would become the Discworld adventure game, he was wary, based on his own experiences buying games. "…you would buy a tape cassette with pictures of blazing robots and exploding planets, and when you played the game it was something where the graphics were just ASCII characters stuck together."
He also jokingly described his involvement with developer Teeny Weeny Games: "Basically, I shout at them and threaten them a lot," he said, though he went on to say the game captured the overall spirit of the books.
There are other connections between Pratchett and games. Rhianna Pratchett, his daughter, was formerly a games journalist and section editor for PC Zone magazine, and has written for games such as Mirror's Edge, Bioshock Infinite, the Overlord series, and 2014's Thief. She was the lead writer on 2013's Tomb Raider, as well as its upcoming sequel, Rise of the Tomb Raider.
The most prominent connection, but perhaps hardest to define, is Pratchett's influence over PC gaming as a whole, from the people who make them to those of us who just play them. It wouldn't be a stretch to suggest that most comedic fantasy games have been in some way been influenced and inspired by the Discworld novels. Scroll through any gaming forum and you're likely to find passionate discussions about his books and the fervent hope of there someday being more Discworld games. Stroll through any fantasy MMO and you're bound to spot an avatar named Sam Vimes. Rincewind. Angua. Cheery Littlebottom.
I know a lot of developers, gamers, writers, and readers are feeling the same pain of loss today. Our thoughts are with his friends, family, and loved ones. We're all grateful for what you've given us, Terry, and we'll all miss you terribly.
We've made a PDF of the 1993 PC Gamer interview with Terry Pratchett available below, which you can pop out and download for easier legibility. Interestingly, the interview even includes speculation about virtual reality games, a topic we're still doggedly prattling on about today. Read and enjoy it: it's a great example of his humor, his cleverness, and his incredible smarts. Then go read his books, if you haven't. And even if you have.

Q: Sum a column value of all the previous observations I have a table that contains client_id, order_number and revenue. The idea is to sum the revenue up until each order number.
So, for example, a client has 3$ revenue in his first order and 2$ in his second. For his first loan it should return 3$ as revenue, but for the second 5$. It's rather a simple problem, but I have not found a solution yet.

A: By the description you want a window sum(revenue) function partitioned by client_id and ordered by client_id and order_number
select client_id, order_number,revenue,
sum(revenue) over (partition by client_id ORDER BY client_id,order_number) as sum
       from your_table
       order by client_id

Sample data:
insert into your_table values (1,10,2);
insert into your_table values (1,20,3);
insert into your_table values (2,21,2);
insert into your_table values (2,22,10);
insert into your_table values (3,40,2);

Result:
CLIENT_ID | ORDER_NUMBER | REVENUE | SUM
1           10             2         2
1           20             3         5
2           21             2         2

Where Are Tina Short and Nickie Ford Now?
Shraman Mitra
When authorities doubled down on Donald Glen Everett while investigating Cathy Whitehead's murder, he implicated his girlfriend, Tina Short, her mother, Hazel Short, and Tina's cousin, Nickie Ford. While Hazel was directly responsible for Cathy's murder and sentenced to life in prison, Tina and Nickie were also at risk of being convicted for their involvement. Investigation Discovery's 'Your Worst Nightmare: Cooking with Fire' chronicles the brutal homicide and portrays exactly how the crime ended up affecting the people involved. Let's delve into the details and find out where Tina and Nickie are at present!
Who Are Tina Short and Nickie Ford?
At the time of Cathy Whitehead's murder, she was engaged to John Short and about to be married. John's former wife, Hazel Short, didn't take her divorce well and harbored ill feelings towards Cathy. The rage and anger inside Hazel propelled her to plan a murder wherein she involved her daughter, Tina, her boyfriend, Donald, and her nephew, Nickie. Hazel spearheaded the plan to kidnap Cathy from her house, torture her, and then burn her before strangling her to death.
Donald lured the victim out of her house and brought her to a nearby payphone. Once at the payphone, Cathy was kidnapped and bundled into a car, which was then driven around by Tina while Nickie allegedly sat in the passenger's seat. Shortly after, the victim was forced out of the car, stabbed in the arm before being locked in the vehicle's trunk. From there, she was driven to Gwinnett County, where the perpetrators locked her in the trunk of an abandoned vehicle. Subsequently, Cathy was forced out of the trunk, severely burned in a fire before being strangled to death and disposed of in an abandoned well.
Donald Everett was the first to get arrested after police learned how he had been talking about the victim and her disappearance to others. He broke down under tough questioning and was quick to implicate Hazel as well as Tina and Nickie. The police acted almost immediately and apprehended both Tina and Nickie, who confessed to their involvement in the crimes. However, they both claimed that the murder was masterminded by Hazel, and they had just acted on her command.
Once produced in court, Tina refused to testify and was convicted of kidnapping, which netted her a 20-year prison sentence in 1986. At the same time, Nickie agreed to testify and was ultimately acquitted of all charges by the jury. Although the show mentions that Tina was released after serving six years of her 20 years sentence, both Tina and Nickie now live private lives making their current whereabouts unknown.

Q: Is there a way to list out my datastores if I've deployed to a VNET? I followed the instructions in the MSFT Docs, but now I can't list our my Datastores either via the SDK nor the Azure Machine Learning studio.
Instead, in the studio I see this:

Is there a way to make this work? Did I miss a step?

A: Is it a blob datastore or file store? We only support blob store behind vnet right now. Can you also check whether you grant your own machine permission to access the storage account inside vnet? in the firewall rule for your storage account, make sure your machine ip is granted to access the storage account.
Let me know how it works.

A: Can you share how you created your workspace, set up vnet for your workspace storage account?
I did the following and am able to see my datastore list via both SDK and UI

*

*created workspace

*put my workspace storage account behind vnet

*go to studio, datastores: no problem seeing the list of my datastores, including the ones behind vnet

*in notebook, call workspace.datastores: no problem seeing the list of my datastores, including the ones behind vnet
