Progress on beneficial ownership transparency in Armenia was presented
On October 29, 2019 Beneficial Ownership Transparency Workshop was held in Yerevan, hosted jointly by Open Government Partnership Secretariat of the Government of Armenia, OpenOwnership and Transparency International Anticorruption Center (TIAC) within the framework of USAID funded "Engaged Citizenry for Responsible Governance" project.
The workshop aimed to present the progress made on beneficial ownership transparency in Armenia and to discuss the current problems with the stakeholders in order to tackle them in the future. The international guests from OGP and OpenOwnership shared world's best practice in support of the Armenian government in order to facilitate the process. The event brought together over fifty representatives from government, international and non-governmental organizations and mass media outlets.
Sona Ayvazyan, Executive Director of Transparency International Anticorruption Center welcomed the audience with opening remarks. She focused on global damage of corruption caused by anonymous companies and the measures in disclosing beneficial owners as a solution to the problem taken by international organizations, including Transparency International global movement. "Armenia was among the first countries that introduced open and public beneficial ownerships' register in its fourth OGP Action Plan for 2018-2020 years. The register should be publicly available by the end of 2020. Armenia has already begun that process by making the identification of beneficial owners a requirement of the EITI Standard.in 2016, and its EITI candidature application was approved in 2017. I am glad that the Armenian partners have moved this agenda forward both before and after the revolution," mentioned Sona Ayvazyan.
In his speech Rustam Badasyan, Minister of Justice of Armenia, highlighted the event, noting that in recent years several governments across the globe acknowledged the need for easy access to information on beneficial ownership in fight against tax evasion, money laundering and corruption crimes. "The Armenian authorities today, more than ever, are committed to carry out the obligations assumed under the OGP action plan and stand ready to endeavor towards disclosing information about beneficial owners," Rustam Badasyan said.
In her opening remarks USAID Armenia Mission Director Deborah Grieser said that USAID supports OGP initiative since its launch in 2011, in particular, the Armenian government to join EITI. "The plan to launch an open data register of real owners is a clear sign of Armenia's continuous commitment to enabling beneficial ownership transparency, and USAID commends this ambitious goal. We see this commitment as an important element of the government's efforts to fight corruption," said Deborah Grieser. "We will continue to engage civil society in these efforts," added Deborah Grieser, noting that, in partnership with TIAC, USAID created a platform for cooperation with OpenOwnership, which she hoped would provide a more transparent environment and increased investment," concluded the Mission Director.
Welcoming democratic processes in Armenia, Sanjay Pradhan, Chief Executive Officer of Open Government Partnership (OGP), addressed OGP Independent Reporting Mechanism. He also noted that by establishing a public beneficial ownership register, Armenia might assume the role of regional and global leader in this sphere and could further strengthen beneficial ownership transparency by establishing mechanisms for mandatory inclusion of a larger scope of companies in the beneficial ownership registry apart from beneficial owners of extractive industries. In particular, the government could mandate disclosure of media company ownership. Sanjay Pradhan also emphasized that beneficial owners' disclosure process would contribute to enhancing citizens' trust in Government and effective fight against corruption. It would create a level playing field for new players and an opportunity for new investments, concluded OGP CEO.
In her speech Liana Ghaltaghchyan, Deputy Chief of Prime Minister's Staff noted that Armenia within the OGP framework, along with 14 other countries, joined the Beneficial Ownership Leadership Group, a newly formed coalition of governments that is committed to advancing progress towards open beneficial ownership registers and sharing good practice. According to Ghaltaghchyan, starting from publishing the register of beneficial owners of companies operating in metal mining sector, the government will gradually expand the process of disclosing the beneficial owners of legal entities operating in other sectors and engineering a commonly accessible platform for storage of information about them, ensuring publicity of data on beneficial owners.
Thom Townsend, OpenOwnership Executive Director mentioned that OpenOwnership
supports governments, civil society and the private sector in carrying out reforms for beneficial ownership disclosure. Memorandum of Understanding to be signed between OpenOwnership and the Government of Armenia to provide high quality assistance to the Armenian Government will help Armenia to overcome technical challenge and enable to carry out reform.
Under this agreement, OpenOwnership will provide technical assistance to support Armenia in implementing beneficial ownership transparency. Opening the signing ceremony and technical workshop in Yerevan, Minister Badasyan said, 'Whilst there is no straight-forward way to stop money laundering, beneficial ownership information is key to tackling this transnational issue, and Armenia is committed to finding the best way to proceed in establishing efficient ways to share high quality information about who owns companies."
Progress on beneficial ownership transparency in Armenia made by OGP- Armenia and EITI Armenia were presented by Lilya Afrikyan from Prime Minister's Office, Department of External Relations and OGP Armenia Working Group Secretary; Lusine Tovmasyan, Head of EITI Secretariat and Lilia Shushanyan, Deputy Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructures respectively. Ani Varderesyan, Advisor to Ministry of Justice spoke about progress on beneficial ownership within the anti-corruption strategy and the development of the beneficial ownership roadmap in Armenia.
Russell-Prywata, Senior Programs and Policy Manager from OpenOwnership introduced approaches to beneficial ownership data collection and the international practice, while Sushan Doydoyan, President of Freedom of Information Center dwelt on the importance of the comprehensive implementation of open ownership in all areas.
A discussion was held with the participation of all constituencies, proposing that the legislative regulations related to the mining sector serve as an example of relevant legislation aimed at developing beneficial owners' transparency in other spheres as well.

Q: I want to change the word of the sentence using Python I have the following string:
text = "i eat salad"

I would like to change eat to ate to get:
text = "i ate salad"

Do i have to use join or split?
text.split()[1] = 'ate'
print(text)

I've tried this before unsuccessfully.

A: just split and store the result.
Then change the second word, and join again:
text = "i eat salad"
words = text.split()
words[1] = 'ate'
print(" ".join(words))

A: Use replace() to change it.
text = "i eat salad"
text = text.replace('eat', 'ate')
print(text)

Der Eschweiler Geschichtsverein e.V. (EGV) wurde 1974 in Eschweiler gegründet und ist der Nachfolger des Geschichtsvereins für Eschweiler und Umgebung, der von 1920 bis zum Zweiten Weltkrieg bestand. Im Jahre 1928 wurde im Bergvogteihaus das Eschweiler Heimatmuseum eröffnet, dessen wertvolle Exponate und Ausstellungsräume in den Kriegswirren und der Besetzung durch amerikanische Truppen im Herbst 1944 untergingen. Die meisten Ausstellungsstücke wurden geplündert oder zerstört.

Neugründung
Am 14. März 1974 trafen sich zur "Ersten Besprechung betr. Gründung eines Eschweiler Geschichtsvereins" 31 interessierte Bürger im Städtischen Gymnasium, welche aus ihren Reihen ein Vierergremium wählten, welches die Gründung vorbereiten sollte: Bernhard Sperlich, Ferdinand Bongart, Hanns Ortmanns und Simon Küpper. Die Gründungsversammlung fand am 29. April im Hotel St. Peter in der Schnellengasse in der Eschweiler Altstadt statt, wobei sich 63 Personen in die Gründerliste eintrugen. Erster Vorsitzender wurde Stadtdirektor i. R. Bernhard Sperlich. Der aktuelle Vorsitzende ist seit vielen Jahren Simon Küpper.

Seit 1976 erscheint das sechsmal jährlich herausgegebene Mitteilungsblatt.

Durch stetigen Zuwachs ist der EGV heute der mitgliederstärkste Verein Eschweilers. Bei der Gründung 1974 waren es 63 Mitglieder, 1975 bereits 155, 1976 dann 179 und 1977 dann 206. Im Jubiläumsjahr 1999 zählte man 906, und zurzeit (2022) sind es über 1000.

Mittlerweile neun Arbeitskreise fokussieren die Vereinsarbeit. Sie widmen sich unter anderem den Themenbereichen Archäologie, Familienforschung, Geschichtsquellen und Veröffentlichungen, Geschichte der Industrie- und Gewerbegebiete, Mundartpflege sowie den Stadtteilforschungen von Bergrath, Pumpe-Stich, Röhe und Weisweiler sowie seit neuestem dem Stadtteil Dürwiß. Das umfangreiche Archiv ist seit September 2006 im Eschweiler Rathaus am Johannes-Rau-Platz untergebracht.

Im Jahr 2022 wurden die mehr als 200.000 Geburts-, Heirats- und Sterbeurkunden aus mehr als 200 Jahren digitalisiert und in einer Datenbank hinterlegt und in einem digitalen Findbuch gelistet.

In Zusammenarbeit mit der Stadtverwaltung wird seitens des Eschweiler Geschichtsvereins Ende des Jahres 2023 das "Haus der Geschichte" als außerschulischen Lernort in dem denkmalgeschützten "Kirschenhof", einer alten gräflichen Villa aus dem 17. Jahrhundert, eingerichtet werden können, die sich in städtischem Besitz befindet und derzeit kernsaniert wird.

 Es berichtet vom Leben des 1887 in Eschweiler geborenen Julius Kaufmann aus der jüdischen Familie Kaufmann, die ihre Wurzeln in Langerwehe und Weisweiler hat, 1880 nach Eschweiler zog und das Herrenbekleidungsgeschäft Gebrüder Kaufmann führte. Julius Kaufmann engagierte sich in der zionistischen Bewegung und gab die jüdische Zeitschrift Die Freistatt heraus. Als Freiwilliger nahm er am Ersten Weltkrieg teil. 1934 wanderte die Familie Kaufmann in das damalige britische Mandatsgebiet Palästina, das heutige Israel, aus, wo Julius den Namen Kadmon annahm. Dieses Buch ist sowohl ein bedeutendes Zeugnis der deutsch-jüdischen Zeitgeschichte als auch eine wichtige Quelle zur Lokalgeschichte Eschweilers.

Q: Vertex-adding number For any set $X$ set $[X]^2 = \big\{\{x,y\}: x,y \in X, x\neq y\big\}$.
Suppose $G=(V,E)$ is a simple, undirected graph, let $v^* \notin V$. We let $a(G)$ be the minimal number of edges that we need to attach $v^*$ to the vertices of $G$ such that the chromatic number increases, formally: $$a(G) = \min\{|Z| : Z\subseteq [V\cup \{v^*\}]^2\land v^* \in Z \land \chi\big((V\cup\{v^*\}, E\cup Z)\big) = \chi(G)+1\}.$$
It's easy to see that $a(G) \geq \chi(G)$ for every graph $G$. Do we have equality? Or can $a(G)$ become arbitrarily big compared to $\chi(G)$?

A: The vertex-adding number can be arbitrarily large compared to the chromatic number.  To see this consider a long odd cycle, $C_{2k+1}$.  Then $\chi(C_{2k+1})=3$, but $a(C_{2k+1})=2k+1$.
Note that $a(C_{2k+1})=2k+1$ because for any proper subset $U$ of $V(C_{2k+1})$, there is a $3$-colouring of $C_{2k+1}$ that only uses $2$ colours on $U$.  Indeed, it suffices to show this for $|U|=2k$, where we can obtain the required $3$-colouring of $C_{2k+1}$ by using alternating colours on $U$, and a third colour for the last vertex.

WTOL 11 News at Eleven Weekend
'Borat' sequel to be released by Amazon before election
The streaming giant announced its plans to release the 'Borat' sequel before the Nov. 3 presidential election.
Author: JAKE COYLE AP Film Writer

NEW YORK — Borat is back. Sacha Baron Cohen has filmed a sequel to his 2006 film "Borat! Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan" that Amazon plans to release before the election.
The streaming giant confirmed Tuesday that it has acquired worldwide rights to the film.
Reports have steadily accumulated about the project throughout the summer as it was filmed in secret during the pandemic. In early July, Rudy Giuliani called the police on Cohen after an interview in which Cohen emerged in character. Giuliani told Page Six: "This guy comes running in wearing a crazy, what I would say was a pink transgender outfit. It was a pink bikini, with lace."
In June, Cohen appeared at a far-right rally in Olympia, Washington, posing as a sponsor of the event. He led the crowd in a racially charged singalong.

Cohen originated the character of Borat Sagdiyev, a fictional Kazakh journalist, on his series "Da Ali G Show." The 2006 film, directed by Larry Charles, grossed $262 million worldwide and was nominated for best-adapted screenplay.

Prior to construction work being performed on your property, a Notice of Commencement should be recorded. Among other things, construction liens will relate back in time to an effective Notice of Commencement (meaning it has not expired). For this reason, lenders or others will want the Notice of Commencement to be terminated when the job is complete by recording in the official records a Notice of Termination of the Notice of Commencement. There is a statutory procedure to terminate a Notice of Commencement pursuant to Florida Statute 713.132.
We interpret this subsection to grant an owner the right to rely on the a contractor's affidavit as an alternative to giving a sworn statement in its notice of termination that "all tenors have been paid in full." Here, the contractor's affidavit attached to the notice of termination was superfluous because Independence, as owner, had already averred in the notice of termination that all tenors had been fully paid.
It is always beneficial for an owner to obtain and rely on the Contractor's Final Payment Affidavit since the contractor would be the one to hire the subcontractors and know whether all lienors (including itself) have been fully paid and, if not, those that are still owed money. However, there are times an owner may not be able to get that affidavit for a host of reasons (for example, if the job never actually commenced or the contractor is uncooperative in this regard). In these circumstances, the owner should be able to record the Notice of Termination of the Notice of Commencement absent the Contractor's Final Payment Affidavit by averring in the Notice of Termination that all lienors have been paid.

Q: Program does not print the return value of a function I have a piece of code to calculate one matrix from another. But when I try to print the output of the function the code runs without any errors but does not print anything. Furthermore, if I try to print the input matrix to the function and then call the function, the original input does not get printed. It prints fine when I don't call this function inf_mat. Does anybody know what might be the reason?

Q: How to repack a JSON String? JSON Wildcard Replace Value
My purpose is to add a dynamic values inside my fancybox and I have to generate a JSON that is fetched from the database..
Here is my current code inside a model in Code Igniter:
     function get_gallery_list($album) {
        $query = $this->db->query('SELECT id, img_name, caption FROM tb_gallery WHERE album = "'.$album.'"');
        $tags = array('img_name', 'caption');
        $replacementTags = array('html', 'title');
        $json = str_replace($tags, $replacementTags, json_encode($query->result()));
        $search_array = array_fill(0, sizeof($replacements), $search_pattern);
        $result = preg_replace($search_array, $replacements, $subject, 1);
        return $json;
     }

    //img_name is replace with html, caption = title.
    /* returns: [{"id":"1","html":"roadshow2012_1.jpg","title":"WOW"},{"id":"2","html":"roadshow2012_1.jpg","title":"Wew"}] */

My question is that, How can I add values inside the ".jpg" values?
Example:
From "roadshow2012_1.jpg" to "directlink-to-localhost/images/gallery/roadshow2012/roadshow2012_1.jpg"
Advanced thanks for those who will answer!:D

A: You wouldn't do that when you can do this instead. It's less work and easier for others to follow
$sql='SELECT id,
        CONCAT("directlink-to-localhost/images/gallery/",img_name) AS html,
        caption AS title
    FROM tb_gallery
    WHERE album = "'.$album.'"';
$query = $this->db->query($sql);
return json_encode($query->result());

...
I shouldn't really post how to do it the way you asked because it's a bit mad but if you must...
You're using preg_replace for no good reason when str_replace is much faster.
$query = $this->db->query('SELECT id, img_name, caption FROM tb_gallery WHERE album = "'.$album.'"');
$find = array('"img_name":"', '"caption"');
$replace = array('"html":"directlink-to-localhost/images/gallery/', '"title"');
$result=str_replace($find, $replace, json_encode($query->result());
return $json;

I can't see the db class so have assumed that query->result() does what you expect.

Brea, Calif. (June 12, 2012) – Nearly two hundred people and their furry, four-legged family members came out to Washington Park in Denver, Colo. on June 10 to support and raise funds for pet cancer research at the second annual Denver VPI K9K Cancer Awareness Walk. Veterinary Pet Insurance Co. (VPI), the nation's oldest and largest provider of pet health insurance, hosted the 3K (1.8 miles) walk, which raised more than $10,000 to benefit the Animal Cancer Foundation (ACF), a non-profit organization dedicated to finding a cure for cancer by funding research in comparative oncology, the study of naturally occurring cancers in pets and people. Since 2007, VPI has raised more than $108,000 to benefit the ACF.
Among the participants at the Denver VPI K9K Pet Cancer Awareness Walk were Colorado Congressman Mike Coffman and "Team Buckley." The group walked in honor of Coffman's dog Buckley, whom he recently lost to cancer.
"VPI received more than 50,000 claims for cancer diagnosis and treatment in 2011, and we're committed to increasing awareness about the prevalence of this deadly disease among companion animals," said Carol McConnell, DVM, MBA, vice president and chief veterinary medical officer for VPI. "Through our partnership with the ACF, we are able to raise funds and educate pet owners about the signs and symptoms of pet cancer, as well as the importance of being financially prepared should their pet be stricken with the disease." To promote pet cancer awareness and research, VPI will host a second K9K Pet Cancer Awareness Walk this year on Sunday, Nov. 11 in Long Beach, Calif.

While the paranormal is a concept that has come to be more and more accepted throughout the years, the existence of demons still continues to be a controversial area in the paranormal world. It's a part of the Catholic religion, but many people find it difficult to believe that there exist evil spirits with the sole purpose of hurting others.
However, Latoya Ammons, her family, and those present in their life at the time were met first-hand with just how damaging demonic possession can be in one's life.
Latoya Ammons' story began in November 2011, when she, her three young children, and her mother, Rosa Campbell, moved into a new house on Carolina Street in Gary, Indiana. Optimistic about their new home, they were overcome with surprise when their front porch was overtaken by black flies in December of that year. No matter how many times they tried to get rid of them, they always returned.
Latoya and her mother would occasionally hear footsteps coming up from the basement in the middle of the night. Even when the basement door was locked, they would hear it creak open. Each time they went to investigate, nobody was there.
These small, but strange, occurrences became more serious on March 10th, 2012, when Latoya Ammons witnessed her 12-year-old daughter levitating above the bed as she slept. Unsure of what to do, Latoya and her mother were filled with fear. When the child was lowered to the bed minutes later, she awoke with no recollection of what had happened.
The family was sure that they were being plagued by something from another realm—something paranormal. They reached out to a number of Catholic churches, but very few paid them any attention. One recommended that they deep clean the house with bleach and ammonia and anoint every window and door with a cross made with oil.
They also sought the help of two clairvoyants, who warned them that the house was plagued with over 200 demons and that they needed to get out. Due to financial difficulties, moving was not an option for the family. They followed the clairvoyants advice to create an altar and cleanse the house with sage and sulphur instead.
They repeated the same psalm as they walked around cleansing the house.
The three days following the cleanse and the building of the altar brought peace to the home and the family. But they were soon to find out that it was simply the calm before the storm.
The demonic activity changed from strange occurrences to physical possessions. Even the children would become possessed. Evil smiles would cross their faces and their voices would become uncharacteristically deep. Latoya Ammons was also possessed on several occasions, describing the experience as a feeling of lightheadedness, weakness, and being without control. Latoya's mother claimed she wasn't affected because she was born with a spiritual guardian that protected her from evil.
Latoya's seven-year-old son would sit in his closet speaking with the unseeable spirit of a young boy who would explain to him the feeling of dying. The same boy was also thrown out of the bathroom by an invisible force on one occasion. Her daughter was injured by a headboard and needed stitches. The girl described being held down to the bed by demons, unable to speak or move, as they told her she was going to die and that she would never see her family again.
There was talk of exorcising the demons, but the priest that was involved with the family could not initially get approval for Latoya Ammons' exorcism.
The situation quickly gained the attention of the DCS and raised concern about the safety of the children. They were taken into protective custody.
During an interview with the children and their grandmother, the youngest boy began walking backwards up the wall and onto the ceiling before flipping over and landing on his feet. The DCS officer was terrified and tried to convince police that the child did not run up the wall, but actually walked backwards up it in a way that should be physically impossible.
The police investigated the home to decide if it was suitable for children. Strange things began happening to the officers equipment and they picked up an unidentified voice saying "hey" on a recording. One officer began to face strange events, such as car malfunctions, on his way home. The next investigation involved a priest and had similar results.
A Catholic priest finally received approval to perform Latoya Ammons' exorcism. Each demon is said to have its own name and personality, so he instructed Latoya to research who could be possessing her in order for the exorcism to be more effective.
Although her computer repeatedly shut off during her research, she was able to find the names of the demons based on how she was being affected. The demon Beelzebub, for example, is the Lord of the Flies, and she was able to find the names of several demons that specifically tortured children.
She described the feeling as being so painful that it was like giving birth, as if something was being pulled out of her that didn't want to let go. She had to go through three separate exorcisms in Gary, Indiana in order to finally rid her of the evil that was plaguing her life. The first two were in English while the last was in Latin.
She moved to a new house after the exorcism and was reunited with her children. She says that she now lives without fear.
There's no doubt that our world is filled with both good and evil. Latoya Ammons' story, whether true or not, shows us an example and gives us hope that good can conquer even the darkest of evil.


Katrine Kavli Sivertzen (29) thought the effect she got from exercising was related to the amount of time she spent working out. She was on daily hour-long runs in the pursuit of the effect, but it wasn´t showing. That was before she was introduced to Myworkout, the company that have developed Powel´s new workout site, powelactive.com.
"I had no progress except that it became a habit for me to run every day, and gradually I began to struggle with inflammation in my calf. It got to the point where I could not stand up and put my socks on", she explains.
When Katrine was introduced to powel active approximately one year ago, her inflammation had retreated. And already after ten weeks on our workout program, she experienced great progress.
"I've always had strong legs, but fallen short of breath. After I started working out with powel active I have experienced a significant improvement in both running technique, pace, strength, and last, but not least, in my endurance", she explains.
Myworkout base their training on world-renowned research, offering effective workouts that give you better health and a longer life. This is of course also implemented in powelactive.com. The training is quality assured by professors of medicine, Jan Hoff and Jan Helgerud. They are recognized for their research on 4 by 4 workouts, and work with both heart patients and athletes to help them achieve better health and reach their goals.
Katrine says she was motivated by the knowledge she acquired from powel active; how effective exercise affect her health, and how easily she can influence her health and future.
Katrine running together with colleague Øystein Sæther in Trondheim.
In addition to effective workouts you get access to a biological age test on powelactive.com. You conduct the test on a treadmill, and it quantifies your health in a clear and understanding way. The test provides you with your biological age and your oxygen consumption, which are the best measures we have on physical health today. Recently Myworkout also newly launched an app, Mybioage, which gives you the opportunity to conduct the same test outdoor. You can log in to the app using your credentials from powelactive.com.
Katrine has taken the test several times and find motivation in seeing the time she spends exercising gives results.
Katrine describes herself as a lover of life, and she often spends time outdoors with her fiancée on weekends, in addition to the regular workout sessions during the week. She cares about her health, and not just her own health. With an active lifestyle and the knowledge she has gained through powelactive.com she can achieve her goals and live a long and disease free life.
"I plan to be a mother one day, and I want for my children what my parents wanted for me, a physically active and healthy childhood. We only live once, and I want my life to be long and healthy", she concludes.

The Darling Downs Gazette was a newspaper published from 1848 to 1922 in Drayton and Toowoomba in Queensland, Australia.

History
The Darling Downs Gazette and General Advertiser was founded in 1858 by Arthur Sidney Lyon. The first issue of four pages was published on Thursday 10 June 1858 from Willow Cottage, a wooden shanty, in Drayton.

After two years, it was purchased by W. H. Byers. Later, William Henry Traill was the proprietor for a brief period. While Drayton, being established in 1842, was the first substantial settlement on the Darling Downs, by the 1860s it was clear that it would be overtaken by nearby Toowoomba in size and importance, leading to Byers relocating the Darling Downs Gazette to Toowoomba in 1861.

As the Darling Downs was a rural district occupied by squatters, the newspaper focussed on farming and trade issues. Its politics were aligned with the interests of the squatters (a significant force in early Queensland politics), and lead to the creation of opposition newspapers that represented opposing political interests.

From June 1858 to November 1864 it was published weekly on Thursday. From December 1864 to November 1865 it was published twice a week on Wednesday and Saturday. From November 1865 to September 1868 it was published three times a week on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. From September 1868 to March 1879 it reverted twice a week on Wednesday and Saturday (but occasionally published three issues in a week). From April 1879 it became a daily paper published Monday through Saturday.

In 1922 the Dunn family bought the Darling Downs Gazette and amalgamated it with as the Toowoomba Chronicle under the new title Toowoomba Chronicle and Darling Downs Gazette, first published on 2 October 1922.

Digitisation
The paper has been digitised as part of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program  of the National Library of Australia.

Joseph James DeAngelo
Joseph James DeAngelo Jr. is an American serial killer, serial rapist, burglar, and former police officer.

About Joseph James DeAngelo in brief
Joseph James DeAngelo Jr. is an American serial killer, serial rapist, burglar, and former police officer. He committed at least 13 murders, 50 rapes, and 120 burglaries across California between 1973 and 1986. DeAngelo was responsible for at least three crime sprees throughout California, each of which spawned a different nickname in the press, before it became evident that they were committed by the same offender. In 2001, after DNA testing indicated that the East Area Rapist and the Original Night Stalker were the same person, the acronym EARONS came into use. On April 24, 2018, authorities charged 72-year-old DeAngelo with eight counts of first-degree murder, based upon DNA evidence. On June 29, 2020, DeAngelo pleaded guilty to multiple counts of murder and kidnapping. As part of a plea bargain that spared him the death penalty, De Angelo also admitted to numerous crimes with which he had not been formally charged, including rapes. De Angelo was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole on August 21, 2020. The case was a factor in the establishment of California's DNA database, which collects DNA from all accused and convicted felons in California and has been called second only to Virginia's in effectiveness in solving cold cases. To heighten awareness of the case, crime writer Michelle McNamara coined the name Golden State Killer in early 2013. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and local law-enforcement agencies held a news conference on June 15, 2016, to announce a renewed nationwide effort, offering a USD 50,000 reward for his capture.
Owing to California's statute of limitations on pre-2017 rape cases, Deangelo could not be charged with 1970s rapes; but he was charged in August 2018 with 13 related kidnapping and abduction attempts. One of DeAngelo's sisters claimed that he was abused by their father while he was growing up. He has two younger sisters and a younger brother. Prosecutors reported that DeAngelo committed burglaries and tortured and killed animals during his teenaged years. He served for 22 months during the Vietnam War as a damage controlman on the cruiser USS Canberra and the destroyer tender USS Piedmont. He attended Sacramento State University in 1971, where he earned a bachelor's degree in criminal justice. In 1973, he became engaged to Bonnie Jean Colwell, a classmate at Sierra College; she broke off the relationship after he threatened her with a gun in order to marry him. In October 1973 he married Sharon Marie Huddle in October 1973.

I've had some questions recently about our counter stools, so I thought I would talk a little about them today. Our kitchen, breakfast and family room area is one open room and it's modest in size. So to maximize the seating in here I knew I wanted stools for our island. And I wanted stools that you could lean back in and be a little more comfortable.
So I choose these from Restoration Hardware during one of their sale events and have been really happy with them. I love the look and they have been very functional in this space. We use them a lot! They are counter height and I love that they have arm rest and cushions as well.
Here are others that I like.
The only change I would maybe make if I were choosing new ones today, would be picking a lighter color. Love the weathered oak finish and the light seagrass color. And how fun are the Serena and Lily Riviera Stools!
Love the stools. Your house looks so beautiful! Have a great day!
Thank you so much for sharing this! I have been looking at the RH counter stools all week for our kitchen island. We have a very similar island with white cabinets and similar carmel granite. I was thinking with going with the weathered oak finish since we have darker would floors and liked the contrast. Thanks again, it helped so much to see them in a actual kitchen setting! They look amazing!
Seriously your kitchen is gorgeous! And love those stools!
Your kitchen is gorgeous! I love the white cabinets! I think the RH stools you chose look great!
oh how i love your decorating style. so much. you have the best taste!!!
love these stools. I also love your kitchen!!!
Very Pretty! I have had my eye on those Serena and Lily Cafe Chairs for a while now because I adore them so much. I wish I had a place for them.
I love them, and i love your kitchen too! It looks so light and bright! Beautiful!

After a challenging week, which led to disciplinary discussions with senior members of the team, the Ashbourne Allstars came together and used this energy to overcome an early deficit to mount an amazing recovery to crush CATS College in a sensational 4-1 demolition.
After a positive team talk, the Ashbourne Allstars came out with a passion to succeed, only for this to be dampened with a disappointing opening, which led to a soft opening goal for CATS. It took a long time for Ashbourne to come alive, and memories of last seasons disappointing campaign came to the forefront of many returning Allstars. Nevertheless, towards the end of the first half, after a melee in the CATS penalty area, Bader seized on the opportunity that presented itself and delivered a telling blow to equalise.
In the second half the Allstars came out re-invigorated and within two minutes, Alex Fatsis struck to put the Allstars ahead with a right foot "Romario-esque" toe-poked finish. Maxim Netchvolodov, who was introduced just before half-time, imposed himself in midfield, and helped bring a renewed energy and composure to the team. His sterling work was rewarded with a goal after a determined finish with 20 minutes remaining. After this point Ashbourne took complete control of the game and camped themselves in the CATS half. During this devastating period, Ashbourne created chance after chance, and with more accurate finishing it could have been a cricket score worthy of a Viv Richard's West Indian Cricket side. The final goal came with just a few minutes remaining and was the best of the bunch. Great interplay between Keanu and Alex Fatsis led to Keanu breaking free from his marker, which resulted in an emphatic finish wide of the goalkeepers despairing hands. The Allstars celebrated with panache and the game was over.


After slowing the federal government down for three days, Democrats lost the standoff without making gains. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is already taking the blame from both sides, but especially fellow Democrats, who are saying he caved for practically nothing in return.
Sen. Kamala Harris was one of the 16 Democrats who voted against reopening the government, saying that voting for a bill to codify President Obama's illegal waiver of immigration law or funding the government was a false choice.
Behind closed doors today, Merkley was NOT happy w deal Dems agreed to, I'm told, saying GOP got way too much and extracted too little; Feinstein also raised concerns about why she voted against bill to keep govt open Friday. Why couldn't they resolve this Friday, she asked?
Gutierrez on Senate Dems: "They caved. They blinked. That's what they do."
Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) says she's "very disappointed" in deal because there's no guarantee House will pass fix to help Dreamers.
Schumer got a good deal if the Republican House and Donald Trump didn't exist.
What is the point of forcing a two-day shutdown if Democrats are just going to cave? Paul Ryan still has refused to commit to a vote for the dreamers. McConnell's promise to get DACA done is as phony as his promise to Susan Collins.
"We cannot rely on empty promises from those who have already proven to play politics with the lives of Dreamers. Today, Republicans — and too many Democrats — in Congress betrayed our American values and allowed bigotry and fear to prevail."
Republican lawmakers and commentators from the Right joined in on mocking Schumer.
Dems forced a #SchumerShutdown on Friday night, only to vote to reopen it today for practically nothing? They are playing with real lives and livelihoods here! American government doesn't operate with an Open & Closed sign hanging in the window.
Schumer said Trump wouldn't negotiate so he decided to cave into McConnell and give him the votes. Huh? Nothing about Schumer's strategy in this shutdown makes sense.
And know you haven't fooled anyone when Rosie O'Donnell is upset.

Cook-up for charity at CSU
Chefs at CSU in Wagga Wagga have taken a break from feeding hordes of hungry students in 2016 to prepare frozen meals for those in need.
Chefs at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Wagga Wagga have taken a break from feeding hordes of hungry students in 2016 to prepare frozen meals for those in need.
The 'Move Out Cook-up for REAP' project makes use of frozen and perishable food left behind by CSU students when they move out of their residential accommodation at the end of semester.
Team leader of food and beverage services at CSU, Mr Toby Perry said the food has been turned into individual frozen meals to be donated to REAP Food Rescue, the regional arm of OzHarvest.
"This food would otherwise have gone to waste so it's great to be able to offer up our chef skills to turn it into a meal for someone who needs it," Mr Perry said.
"This is another great way the University engages with our local community at a grass roots level. It adds to the work being done by REAP to affect some real change for local people.
"Students have been encouraged to donate unwanted food when they packed up their rooms to move out. Then kitchen manager Anthony White and I spent a day on the tools creating up to 222 individual frozen television-style meals.
"It's been heartening to see the response to this idea and I'd like to acknowledge the generosity of our students and the skills and resources of our catering staff.
"A lot of people doing small things can be really powerful."
The project is an initiative of the CSU catering team, Cheers, Residence Life and CSU Green.
It builds on an earlier CSU initiative which collects non-perishable food, kitchenware and household items donated by students in residences at the end of semester.
Residence Life coordinator Ms Siobhan Fisher said, "This is a great project to add to the non-perishables that we donate to charity each year.
"In the past week, students have also donated 53 boxes of non-perishable food and goods to charity."
CSU Green sustainability officer Ms Alesha Elbourne said, "With the announcement of Charles Sturt University's carbon neutrality status this year, it is great to have initiatives like the 'Move Out Cook-up for REAP' which support such a great charity while also reducing our carbon footprint."
REAP Food Rescue distributes food donations to charity partners in Wagga Wagga and Junee up to six days a week.
The frozen meals will be handed over to representatives from REAP Wagga Wagga at 10am on Wednesday 9 November, at The Foodbowl, building 230, near car park 6 off Jingellic Place, CSU in Wagga Wagga. The media is invited to attend. Contact CSU Media.
High quality photos are also available from CSU Media.

Chantal Kreviazuk released a new song today I'm Here (A Song for Canada). Part of the proceeds from the song will go to the National Music Centre (which is going to be in Calgary).
The finished song was co-written by the dude who wrote I Believe from the 2010 Olympics. I shouldn't have to tell you any more about the song based on that alone. Chantal's hubby, Raine Maida, was involved in the song, but he doesn't sing...which is a giant disappointment.
I mean...I DO like the finished version better, but I think the kid got ripped off. Oh well.

Daily Funding Roundup
Meet the VC

When they were young
Today's Entrepreneur
Startup Competition Guide
Early-stage venture firm Accel Partners raises $2B
Steven Loeb · March 15, 2016 · Short URL: https://vator.tv/n/4400
There have been a number of big VC funds so far, from Battery, Lightspeed and General Catalyst
Last year was the best year for VC fundraising since 2006, and things do not seem to be slowing down at all so far in 2016.
Already, in just two and half months, we've seen a number of firms raising big new funds. The latest is Accel, with the biggest one year: the firm has raised a $2 billion fund, it revealed via a blog post on Medium on Tuesday.
"The landscape for technology investing has never offered more opportunity, never been as fascinating, never shown the breadth with which it reaches all parts of society and never been as fast-paced as it is today. It is astounding to see innovation and entrepreneurship emerge across the globe, and for us, to assist and take part in it," the firm wrote.
"And while the well-documented concern about private market valuations and public market turbulence present serious and challenging issues today, the potential impact of venture capital to assist entrepreneurs in creating the future continues to irrevocably expand."
Though the firm did not break it out, a report from the New York Times stated that the $2 billion was actually spread across two separate funds, the first being a $1.5 million fund for later-stage "growth" investments. The other $500 million would act as a class venture capital fund, and presumably go for the early and growth-stage companies the firm typically invests in.
Founded in 1983, Accel has grown to be one of the premiere Silicon Valley investment firms. It's portfolio includes Atlassian, Braintree, Cloudera, Dropbox, Dropcam, Etsy, Facebook, Flipkart, MoPub, Slack, Spotify, and Vox Media. In a list of the top 100 active venture capitalists, Accel had six of them.
As for what kinds of companies Accel will be investing in with this new money, the firm pointed to a separate blog post, from earlier this year, in which the team wrote about some of their areas of interest.
They included predictive analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning and computer vision technologies, as well as companies employing a social graph, enterprise tools, video, augmented/virtual reality, security, and the on-demand economy.
"We'll continue to help build the future through the next generation of entrepreneurs who will undoubtedly look to solve immense problems and take on the seemingly insurmountable task of building the next great technology businesses," Accel wrote on Tuesday. "The entrepreneur's work is not for the faint of heart, nor should be ours if we respect our role to support them."
VC fundraisings
There was $35.5 billion in total capital committed to VC funds in 2015, the second-highest total of the decade, surpassed only by the $36.4 billion raised in 2006. It was also a 4.7 percent increase from the $33.9 billion raised in 2014.
At the same time, though, the number of funds raised actually dropped 6 percent year-to-year to 242 from 258 in 2014. The most popular-sized fund raised was under $50 million funds, with 124, or more than 50 of the fund. Those small funds raised $1.2 billion, or 3.3 percent of percent of dollar volume.
Even though 2016 is supposed to be a down year for the venture capital market, there have already been a slew of VC funraisings that seem to be keeping the pace.
General Catalyst raised an $845 million fund, and Battery Ventures was able to raise $950 million, in February.
Then, earlier this month Lightspeed Venture Partners raised $1.2 billion across two funds.
The $2 billion raised by Accel is not far off from the record VC fundraising, which is $2.8 billion, raising by New Enterprise Associates for its fifteenth fund last year.
VatorNews has reached out to Accel Partners for more information about its new fund. We will update this story if we learn more.

"I can't hear you with all that noise goin on, can you speak up, John? You told me before the party was over before and now it's goin on again, and are you going to just get drunk and talk a lot and not do, little Mr. Boehner and fight with the other kids again? "
"Granny, we just won the election, and everybody is talkin' at once. But I'm so happy, oh, I just get teared up thinking about it. They love me; they really, really love me." John, he's known for lettin' those feelings out. I told him when he was little visitin' his Granny in Cloutierville not to be afraid to cry, and he sure does it when he needs to now. I told him he didn't win an Oscar like Sally Field so don't be sure he won cause people love him. But I also told him Granny does, and that's enough, but he still needs to get over himself.
"John, remember what I told you before?" I tells him, " Folks can be fickle. They love you one day. The next day they give you the boot. And if you don't decide to play nice and stop wantin' things your way all the time, then you goin' to have trouble all over again. You hear, me, child? "
"But Granny, it's our turn." That John, forgettin' who he's talkin to, but he's stopped his cryin' enough to listen a minute. "Don't you think we should have a turn?"he asks, and I wonder why that child doesn't remember what he does half the time.
"All you do is start fightin' again. You go back there and say you aren't gonna play with those other folks. I think you did that before, didn't you? Look what happened. The other fellow says he wants to be friends, but you don't? Nothin's gonna get done, and then you come here whinin' when you lose.
And let me tell you one more thing before you gets off this phone. Granny's proud of you for workin' so you won, but you better watch out, that woodshed is waitin' if your shenanigans make trouble for some of us old folks and if you didn't tell the truth and all, cause I tell you, and you gettin' two shellackin's then, one from those folks you beat and the other one from me."

Charles Bonython Borlase (1820 – 15 May 1875) was Mayor of Wellington, New Zealand in 1874. He had been a member of the first Wellington Town Board in 1863, and a Councillor to 1874. He held the position of Provincial Solicitor from 1857 until his death in 1875.

Background
Borlase was born in Calcutta, Bengal, India in 1820, although his family was from Cornwall. His father was Lieutenant-Colonel Charles B. Borlase of the Dragoons. He was stationed with the East India Company in India at the time and died just before Borlase was born. The family returned to England, where Borlase studied law and was admitted as a solicitor. For a time he was a law reporter with the London press before becoming a partner in a law firm. Through his families connections with the Molesworth's he migrated with his wife, Elizabeth Emma Borlase (née Holmes), and their three children (Charles, Charlotte, and William) on the Victory to Wellington on 16 August 1848. In the 1850s he moved from Wellington to the Wairarapa clearing land at Papawai. While there he was noted as being both generous and hospitable. In 1858 he returned to live in Wellington. Borlase was also the Judge for the Featherston horse races for a number of years. In Wellington he resumed his legal practice and was legal adviser to the Wellington Building Society.

Political career

Borlase was persuaded by Wakefield's Radical Party (called the Rowdies by Featherston's Constitutionalist opponents) to enter politics in 1857. He represented Wairarapa on the Wellington Provincial Council from November 1857 to August 1858, when he was defeated by Captain Smith. He then represented the City of Wellington electorate from March 1859 until his death in May 1875. He was on the Wellington Executive Council from March 1854; the source does not record an end date.  He served another period on the Executive Council from June 1866 to June 1868, and was the Provincial Solicitor. In  he represented the City of Wellington in Parliament until 1870.  He was defeated in the .

Civic career
He had been on the Wellington Town Board and then a Wellington City Councillor. In 1874 he was Mayor until his retirement from the position in December of that year. He continued as a Councillor until his death. Borlase became increasingly ill from February or March 1875 until his death at Wellington on 15 May 1875.

Borlase Street in Wellington is named after him.

Q: How to convert office documents to pdf in swift 5 iOS I would like to get just the page count of office documents: doc, docx, ppt, pptx, xls, xlsx formats in swift 5 on iOS. It has been incredibly difficult to find any documentation or solution on this. I have tried to use webkit's webView to load the document and try to manipulate it to get the pageNumber from it but it always return zero (0). So now I have decided to find a way to convert the files into pdf so I can call the pageCount property of PDFDocument in order to get the page count but I am still not able to get around this.

A: Office documents are in a proprietary format. There might not be an official solution. I would suggest searching for a third party library that reverse-engineers the file format and lets you query information like the number of pages.

Mercedes Highlights 2017 E-Class Development… Including One Special Feature: Video
Viknesh Vijayenthiran December 26, 2015 Comment Now!
An all-new Mercedes-Benz E-Class is just a few weeks away from its debut at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show. The car, which will arrive in showrooms next year, as a 2017 model, has been in gestation for more than four years, with development and testing taking place all over the globe. From the extreme cold of the Arctic Circle to the soaring heat of some of the world's hottest deserts, the new E-Class has been tested on four continents to ensure it works flawlessly in all climates.
However, the new E-Class is also one of the most advanced cars to be entering production. That makes the development even more challenging for the engineers. For example, we've learned about the car's advanced autonomous driving capabilities, which will include automatic lane changing, and we also got an early look at the high-tech interior complete with its continuous display that stretches almost two-thirds of the dash.
But there's one more, highly advanced feature that Mercedes engineers have been testing: the all-new elf-driving system. Tested extensively over the holiday period, the elf-driving systems means you no longer have to drive. It means you're free to do other things such as sitting back and reading a book or watching your favorite shows or even chatting with friends. Watch how this "next-generation, disruptive" technology works in the video below.
Sadly, Mercedes is yet to confirm whether the new E-Class will be getting the elf-driving system. We'll know much more soon, though, as the car's unveiling in Detroit takes place January 11, 2016. In the meantime, follow our coverage of the event via our dedicated hub.

Fremont Company Receives Presidential Award for Export Success
See the article at International Supermarket News
Fremont, OH: May 16, 2016: U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker presented The Fremont Company with The President's "E" Award for Excellence in Exporting, at a Department of Commerce ceremony in Washington, DC. The President's "E" Award is the highest recognition awarded to U.S. companies for making a significant contribution to the expansion of U.S. exports.
"The Fremont Company has demonstrated a sustained commitment to export expansion. The "E" Awards Committee was very impressed with The Fremont Company's consistent growth in export sales. The company's customization of product labeling to comply with differing export markets was also particularly notable. The Fremont Company's achievements have undoubtedly contributed to national export expansion efforts that support the U.S. economy and create American jobs," said Secretary Pritzker in her congratulatory letter to Mike Hackbarth, Vice President of Private Brands announcing its selection as an "E" Award recipient.
The Fremont Company is a leading exporter of Ketchup and BBQ Sauces. Along with its Mississippi Brand BBQ sauce sold in Europe, The Fremont Company manufacturers private brand condiments for major brands and retailers domestically and worldwide.
"The Fremont Company is honored to be 1 of the 64 U.S. manufacturers to receive an "E" Award this year and proud to be one of only two food manufacturers to receive this prestigious distinction. Our export business is a critical component of our overall business structure and enables our company to provide local jobs, and brings overseas revenue into the U.S. economy," says Chris Smith, President of The Fremont Company.
In 1961, President Kennedy signed an executive order reviving the World War II "E" symbol of excellence to honor and provide recognition to America's exporters. Today, Secretary Pritzker honored 123 U.S. companies with the President's "E" Award, from all 50 states and District of Columbia, for their outstanding work to reduce barriers to foreign markets and to open the door to more trade around the world.
In 2015, U.S. exports totaled $2.2 trillion, accounting for nearly 13 percent of U.S. GDP. Nationally, exports contributed to the U.S. economy, supporting an estimated 11.5 million jobs.
U.S. companies are nominated for the "E" Awards through the Department of Commerce's U.S. Commercial Service office network, located within the Department's International Trade Administration, with offices in 108 U.S. cities and more than 70 countries. For more information about the "E" Awards and the benefits of exporting, please visit http://export.gov/exportawards

Timur Vermes (* 1967, Norimberk) je německý novinář a spisovatel.

Život
Je synem Maďara, který uprchl z vlasti po potlačeném povstání roku 1956 a Němky. Po maturitě studoval na univerzitě v Erlangenu dějiny a politologii. Působil jako novinář například v mnichovských Abendzeitung nebo kolínském Expressu.

V roce 2007 začal psát jako ghostwriter – například Was vom Tode übrig bleibt. Svůj debutový román vydal v roce 2012 pod titulem Er ist wieder da – satiru o Hitlerovi, který se probudí v roce 2011 na jedné louce v Berlíně, začne vystupovat v různých televizních pořadech a získává opět oblibu. Po představení knihy na frankfurtském veletrhu se stal román bestsellerem.
