I'm not impressed with Outlook. I have set it up for someone recently and the Gmail contact groups don't sync with your Outlook contacts distribution lists if you have any (read up on gSyncit, an Outlook Add-in) and the rest is managed offline so if your computer ever crashed your workflow would be hit hard.
If all you need is to send and receive emails, not match contacts copies between Gmail and Outlook, manage offline calendars, offline tasks/reminders then Outlook is okay as an offline client but it's not my favorite go-to. You should also consider the extra delay you add to receiving new emails and if you don't IMAP your account, then all your email organization is stored offline with no recovery option in the event of a computer failure or corrupted hard drive. And Outlook has a complicated PST file that keeps growing and it's a pain in the neck to transfer across to a new computer. But if you IMAP and don't use any other features of Outlook, then PST is not a problem and you have a backup available. When I was younger, I wanted every whiz-bang feature, but as I grow older, I want to keep what I have set up already and simplify it as much as possible but not abandon useful technology and techniques for the archaic non-digital methods of yesteryear.
I use Kiwi for Gmail (Mac and Windows). It allows for a more productive workflow and acts as a local program. It needs an internet connection, therefore it's not an offline client. I get local notifications and can reach for my Google Drive, Docs, Contacts, and Calendar whenever I want. I can switch between multiple accounts with ease.
I would also look at Mozilla Thunderbird as an offline solution (all platforms). There's also Windows 10 Mail, which I haven't used. Definitely would not use Apple Mail (macOS) because the Gmail muscle memory of archiving mail is different.
Here's how to set up Gmail in Outlook 2016 the right way.
For all other software that I have used, see my Life Stack.

Raising Cane's buys 50K lottery tickets for employees: 'It's how we do business
Raising Cane's CEO AJ Kumaran shares why he bought 50,000 lottery tickets for all his employees as the Mega Millions jackpot hits $810 million
Maine now has its first-ever Mega Millions jackpot win.
The prize is $1.348 billion, or $723.5 million in cash.
A ticket-holder matched all six numbers drawn on Friday night. The white balls were 30, 43, 45, 46 and 61 and the gold Mega Ball was 14.
This is the second-largest jackpot in the history of the game.
HERE ARE THE WINNING NUMBERS FOR FRIDAY'S $1.35B MEGA MILLIONS DRAWING

"I was kind of like, 'Is that true?'" he recalled to FOX Business.

Fred Cotreau, the owner of the convenience store, told FOX Business that he was initially wary of the Saturday morning call from the Maine State Lottery.
"6'olock this morning [there was an] Augusta, Maine, ID on my cellphone. At the beginning, I thought it was a scam. I thought the next thing he was going to ask me for a gift card," he joked.
He didn't know who the winner is and said the store had sold winning tickets before but "nothing like that."
"If I won that amount of money, I wouldn't come running either," Cotreau said.
Friday night's jackpot win is the seventh on a Friday the 13th since the game began in 2002 and the first since October 2017.

"I've been a responsible lottery player for a long time and whenever I travel I buy them everywhere. But, we're obviously hoping it's somebody local," he added.
He was not sure if his store would receive any money from the sale.
More than 1,300 businesses in Maine sell Maine State Lottery tickets and the Maine State Lottery website says retailers can earn bonuses of up to $50,000 for selling winning jackpot tickets.
"I would just like the winner to be generous with the cashier that sold them the ticket," Cotreau explained.

Taking strong objection to the non-serious attitude of the State Power Development Department towards compliance of the directives issued to it, the Jammu and Kashmir State Electricity Regulatory Commission has warned punitive action against the PDD for its inaction and reiterated the instructions on hundred percent metering as well as other measures for improving service quality of the utility.
In its order on True-Up for the Financial Year 2013-14, Annual Performance Review for the FY 2014-15 and Determination of APR and Tariff for FY 2015-16 for the J&K Power Development Department (Distribution), the Regulatory Commission has asked the PDD to set new deadline for achieving 100 percent metering and ensure that supply of electricity to unmetered consumers beyond the stipulated date would be illegal.
"Take all possible measures to adhere to the timeline for achieving 100 percent metering in the State and also to take note of the fact that supply of electricity to unmetered consumers beyond the stipulated date would be illegal in terms of provision of Section 49 (1) of the J&K Electricity Act 2010," JKSERC said.
While pointing out towards serious deviation from the mandate given by the State Legislature for completion of metering within a period of two years from the date of notification of the J&K Electricity Act 2010, the Commission has also asked PDD to place the fact before the State Legislature for ratification of the extended dead line on achieving 100 percent metering in J&K.
"As 100 percent compliant metering holds key for introducing power reforms in the State in general and more specifically in reduction of extremely high losses, any further delay in achieving the target shall not be in the interest of the State, Utility or the consumers," the Commission observed.

Russia - Crisis in Chechnya
Thread starter 123Sunny
Policeman killed in Chechnya bomb blast
A bomb attack in the Russian province of Chechnya last night has left one policeman dead and 14 other people injured.
The device was detonated by remote control as a crowd of policemen and civilians were gathering at the scene of a first explosion in the Chechen capital Grozny.
Chechnya's Kremlin-backed authorities said earlier this year that they were close to eliminating Islamist and other militants. But recent attacks there and in the neighbouring republics of Dagestan and Ingushetia have raised fears that the volatile North Caucasus could descend into open civil war.

Chechen warlord Doku Umarov claims Moscow airport bomb
One of Russia's most wanted men, Chechen warlord Doku Umarov, has said he ordered the deadly bomb attack last month on a Moscow airport.
The suicide attack on the arrivals area of Domodedovo international airport on 24 January left 36 people dead and 180 injured.
In a video posted online, Mr Umarov said the attack was a response to "Russian crimes in the Caucasus".
Similar suicide attacks would continue, he added, speaking in Russian.
Mr Umarov is leader of the "Caucasus Emirate", an Islamist militant group spanning the North Caucasus, and is one of the few prominent Chechen rebels still active, having served as security minister in the Chechen separatist government from 1996-99.
He has also claimed the March 2010 suicide bombings on the Moscow Metro in which 39 people died, and is said to have ordered the November 2009 bombing of a train from Moscow to St Petersburg that left 26 dead.
'On my orders'
The video which appeared on the Kavkaz Tsentr website is dated 24 January, the day of the attack.
Many who survived the blast were badly injured Appearing alone, dressed in combat fatigues, Mr Umarov speaks to the camera: "This special operation was carried out on my orders and, God willing, special operations like it will continue to be carried out."
He goes on to argue that Muslims are under attack all over the world, talking at length about the situation in Sudan, and condemns "Zionist and Christian regimes led by Israel and America".
Mr Umarov says that he and his fighters "are waging jihad in the Caucasus today to establish the word of Allah", and there are "hundreds more brothers" ready to sacrifice themselves to that end, in the fight with Russia's "racist regime".
Promising "regular, deeper and more aggressive operations", he says he wishes that so much blood did not have to be spilt for Russia to "leave the Caucasus".
Russian investigators say the suicide bomber who struck at Domodedovo Airport was a 20-year-old man from the North Caucasus.
At least seven foreigners were killed in the bombing at the airport - the busiest serving the Russian capital. The arrivals hall was full of people as several international flights had just landed.
Those killed included one person each from Britain, Germany, Austria, Ukraine, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. At least 16 Russians were also among the dead.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev sacked several officials - said to include a regional transport chief and a Moscow police deputy head - after the bombing, blaming them for poor security
According to Zahil Insaan Hamid. Chechens are trained by pak army.

Doku's profile from BBC
Doku Umarov is the Chechen separatist warlord most closely linked to recent deadly attacks on Russia.
He has said he ordered the Moscow airport bombing on 24 January 2011, which left 36 people dead and 180 injured, and the March 2010 suicide bombings on the city's Metro, in which 39 people died.
Mr Umarov is also said to have ordered the November 2009 bombing of a train from Moscow to St Petersburg that claimed 26 lives.
He is one of Russia's most wanted rebels, and the self-styled Emir of the Caucasus Emirate.
Security minister
Mr Umarov is considered the leader of the Islamist insurgency in the North Caucasus.
He has spear-headed several high-profile rebel raids, and fought in both wars against Russia since 1994.
He also served as Chechnya's security minister during its short-lived independence between 1996 and 1999.
He became the commander of the "south-western front" of the rebel armed forces in 2002, and is believed to have about 1,000 fighters under his command.
Mr Umarov is said to have played a key role in organising an attack in the neighbouring republic of Ingushetia in June 2004, in which several dozen people, including the acting Ingush interior minister, were killed.
He has also been accused by Russian security forces of leading the 2004 school siege in Beslan, which resulted in more than 300 deaths. The allegation has never been substantiated, although hostages have said he was the only attacker not to wear a mask.
In Chechnya, he is suspected of being behind a string of kidnappings for ransom, and is said by officials to have been involved in killing Chechens who were co-operating with the pro-Kremlin government.
In a video statement in March last year, Mr Umarov called the Moscow Metro bombings "a legitimate act of revenge for the continued assassinations of civilians in the Caucasus".
"I told you, the Russians, that now you only see the war on your TV screens, and you don't respond to the crimes of the FSB [security agency] bandits and to the crimes of [Prime Minister Vladimir] Putin himself."
'Enemies of Muslims'
Mr Umarov rose up the Chechen rebel hierarchy after Russian forces killed his predecessor, Khalim Saydullayev, in 2006 and rebel leader Aslan Maskhadov in 2005.
Shamil Basayev, the mastermind of the Beslan siege, also died in 2006.
In his first public statement shortly afterwards, Mr Umarov vowed to step up attacks against Russian police and military targets.
Then, in October 2007, a proclamation was issued naming him the Emir of the new "Caucasus Emirate" - a purported Islamic state spanning several republics in the Russian North Caucasus.
Mr Umarov described Western countries as the enemies of all Muslims, and announced his intention to install Sharia law across the region.
It was the first time a Chechen leader had echoed al-Qaeda's rhetoric, and he explicitly linked his movement to international Islamist groups.
Analysts said the move reflected the growing influence of non-Chechen members on the republic's militants, and the transformation of the movement's focus from separatism to fundamentalism.
Several members of the Chechen government-in-exile resisted the development. Akhmed Zakayev swiftly declared himself the exiled government's prime minister and called the radicalisation of the movement a "personal tragedy".
Several children
Mr Umarov was born in 1964 in the southern Chechen village of Kharshenoi, and earned an engineering degree from the local university.
He is married with at least six children. Two of his brothers, Issa and Mussa, have been killed in combat.
The fate of his father, Hamad, captured several times by Russian forces, is unknown. His wife and child were also taken hostage, but were released in 2005 following media pressure.
Like most Chechen rebel commanders, Mr Umarov has been declared dead on several occasions by the Russian security services.
In the statement that followed the Moscow Metro bombings, he purportedly said: "To anybody who calls me a terrorist, I will just laugh in their face, be they politicians or journalists."

Russian colonel who killed Chechen girl is shot dead
Russian colonel who killed Chechen girl is shot dead
A Russian colonel who was jailed for murdering a Chechen teenager has been shot dead in central Moscow.
Yuri Budanov was killed on Friday by an unidentified gunman on Komsomolsky Prospekt, a busy avenue in the capital, state prosecutors said.
In 2003 a court upheld his 10-year jail sentence for strangling an 18-year-old girl in war-torn Chechnya in 2000.
But he was released early from jail in January 2009 - a move that angered human rights activists.
Russian media say the gunman, wearing a blue jacket and hood, attacked Budanov at about 1230 (0830 GMT), shooting him six times with a pistol, then fled by car.
The Mitsubishi Lancer getaway car was later found abandoned and on fire, the reports said. A pistol and silencer were found inside.
High-profile case
Kungayeva's mother Roza Bashayeva moved to a refugee camp in Ingushetia
The Budanov trial was big news in Russia, where very few officers have been prosecuted over abuses committed during Russia's two campaigns against Chechen separatist rebels.
He was the only senior officer to be jailed for crimes committed in Chechnya.
He was found guilty of the kidnapping and strangling of Elza Kungayeva in 2000. An allegation that he had also raped her was dropped.
The murder provoked outrage in Chechnya, where many civilians have died at the hands of Russian forces and the local pro-Moscow militia, during the long war against rebels.
At his re-trial in 2003 Budanov accused Russian media of having swayed the judge, insisting that he was "a Russian soldier who defended his country for the past 20 years".
Budanov was acquitted at his first trial in December 2002, when the court accepted his plea that he had been temporarily insane at the time of the killing.
But the Russian supreme court ordered a re-trial, where he was found to have been of sound mind at the time. He was found guilty and stripped of his rank and the Order of Courage, which he had won in breakaway Chechnya.
Budanov told the court he believed that Kungayeva was a Chechen sniper and that a fit of rage had come over him as he interrogated her.
The lawyer representing Kungayeva's family, Stanislav Markelov, was shot dead in Moscow in January 2009, along with a journalist, Anastasia Baburova, who was with him at the time.
Last month a court in Moscow sentenced a Russian nationalist to life imprisonment for the double murder. His partner was also jailed.
It was a mistake to let him go. Russian judicial system is two faced. Until they reform it the country will never be great.

4 soldiers killed, 7 wounded in Russia's Caucasus
Russia - 16 August 2011
ROSTIOV-ON-DON: The Russian Interior Ministry says four servicemen have been killed and seven wounded by rebels in a restive region in Russia's North Caucasus.
Madina Khadziyeva, a spokeswoman for the ministry's branch in the province of Ingushetia, said that militants ambushed an Interior Ministry convoy today in the region's mountain forests close to the administrative border with Chechnya. She said the attack occurred near the village of Dattykh, but gave no further details.
An Islamic insurgency spread across North Caucasus after two separatists wars in Chechnya. While Chechnya itself has become more stable in recent years under the steely grip of a Moscow-backed strongman, neighboring provinces have seen an increase in attacks on police and other authorities.
Ingushetia recently had been less volatile than some of the neighbouring regions, so the casualty toll in Monday's attack was unusually high.

Chechnya rebel clash with Russian troops 'kills seven'
9 January 2012 Last updated at 07:32 ET | BBC News
Four Russian security personnel and at least three Islamist militants have been killed in clashes in Chechnya, says Russia's Interior Ministry.
The fighting happened as Russian forces confronted the rebels at a camp in heavily forested mountains, officials say.
The militants had reportedly laid trip wires and mines around their hideout, which were buried under deep snow.
Chechnya's long-running insurgency has recently spread to neighbouring areas.
The fighting began on Sunday when a Russian security patrol came across the militants in the south of Chechnya, officials say.
"During the pursuit of a bandit group in wooded mountainous terrain in Chechnya's Vedenskiy District, three bandits were destroyed," an unnamed security source told Russia's Interfax news agency.
"Preliminary indications are that the militants were able to fortify their so-called camp and set up a large number of trip wire mines around it," the source told Interfax.
"It was these mines that killed the law-enforcers."
Militant hideout
In addition to those who died, 16 other Russian servicemen were injured, a Russian Interior Ministry statement said.
Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov said on Sunday that the Russian operation was close to achieving its objectives.
"We have practically found their den and we are now doing everything we can to destroy them in their den," his government's website quoted him as saying.
The Russian authorities have been fighting insurgents in the North Caucasus region since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Chechen separatists and Russian forces waged two wars in the 1990s.
Since the second of those wars ended in 2000, the insurgents have increasingly been Islamists and the unrest has spread to other Russian republics in the region, especially Dagestan.

Russia's New Chechnya Problem
February 22, 2012 | 1349 GMT | STRATFOR
YANA LAPIKOVA/AFP/Getty Images
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin (L) and Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov in Moscow on Dec. 13, 2011
The political clan system that Russian leader Vladimir Putin spent a decade building has fallen apart. Amid the disarray, Chechnya has been left without a manager in the Kremlin. Vladislav Surkov -- himself half-Chechen -- had served as Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov's handler, but Surkov has been demoted and Kadyrov has indicated that he could step down as president. This jeopardizes Chechnya's stability at an inconvenient time for Putin, who will have to work with numerous political players to maintain calm in the historically restive region.
With the Kremlin's internal political system in disarray, many important Russian projects are being reassessed. No strong Kremlin figure, however, has been placed in charge of handling the volatile region of Chechnya. This puts pressure on the political and social stability of a previously war-torn region -- and places its security situation in doubt -- at a time when the Kremlin has other problems to address.
Russian leader Vladimir Putin spent a decade designing an intricate political system inside the Kremlin that divides responsibilities and strategic sectors between two key clans: the siloviki and the civiliki. This system was meant to help Putin retain control while balancing the pre-eminent need to gear policy toward national security with the need to implement liberal reforms in certain economic sectors. However, over the past year, policy changes and Kremlin infighting have torn the system apart and left the two clans in ruins.
While the security-focused siloviki have mostly reconsolidated, the top figures in the economy- and society-focused civiliki have either left the Kremlin or been sidelined. This has jeopardized the large projects and portfolios overseen by the civiliki. The Kremlin is already reassessing civiliki-led economic plans for modernization and privatization, and rumors in Moscow indicate that civiliki-created youth groups, such as the controversial Nashi, could be disbanded or restructured. Chechnya is one of the more critical portfolios the civiliki oversaw. That portfolio is now in question because Vladislav Surkov, the Kremlin figure who oversaw the region's social policies and president, lost a great deal of influence within the Russian government and was demoted.
Surkov's Role
After two major wars in the region in the past two decades, administering policy concerning Chechnya is a fraught endeavor. When Russia declared an end to the Second Chechen War in 2009, the Kremlin clans split responsibilities for the region. The siloviki oversaw the Russian military's role in the region and the operation of the oil sector under Rosneft, but the civiliki's role of overseeing the region's political and social policies has proved far more important. Responsibility for this role fell to Surkov, former deputy chief of the presidential administration. Surkov is one of Putin's most valued advisers in the Kremlin and is considered by many as one of the most powerful men in the country. Surkov became the most powerful Kremlin figure connected with Chechnya -- a role which would seem a better fit for someone with a position in security -- because he is half-Chechen and has demonstrated an aptitude for complex solutions to complicated problems.
Moscow was able to curtail the Chechen insurgency toward the end of the Second Chechen War by shifting strategies in two main ways. First, Russia stopped using conventional Russian troops against the insurgents. In their place, Moscow created a Chechen fighting force composed of former militants and gave them Russian military counterinsurgency training and a country for which to fight. This hybrid force could then operate alongside the Russian military while using more unconventional tactics to combat the insurgency. Second, Russia elevated two families -- who previously had fought against Russia in Chechnya -- into positions directing the region's security and politics. The Yamadayev family worked within Chechnya's various security forces, while the Kadyrovs took over the presidency and political structures. Over the years, many of the Yamadayev brothers were killed, leaving Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov to consolidate power in both areas, including overseeing the 40,000-strong Chechen forces. Surkov has protected Kadyrov's power in the region.
Although Russia's strategy shifts quashed any meaningful insurgency in Chechnya, many in Moscow -- particularly among the siloviki -- worry about the existence of a large, well-trained Chechen fighting force. Some are also concerned that this force is primarily under the command of Kadyrov, whose Kremlin handler (Surkov) reportedly has changed political loyalties several times.
A Post-Surkov Chechnya?
Besides Chechnya, Surkov oversaw the Kremlin's social and political policies. As Surkov himself has admitted, his leadership in this regard failed, leading to mass protests across the country. It became clear in December 2011 that Surkov would be ejected from power; he even offered his resignation, saying that he did not understand the shifting political mood in Russia. Just before he was to step down, however, Surkov traveled to Chechnya to meet with Kadyrov -- a reminder of his connection to the volatile region. Stratfor sources in Moscow say that this was when Putin decided to demote Surkov rather than remove him from the Kremlin entirely. Surkov's loss of title is not the issue; the problem is that he has essentially lost power over groups in the Kremlin, with many reports indicating that he is now being shunned politically. Surkov's influence in Chechnya is his only remaining leverage.
Keeping Surkov in the Kremlin has not completely diffused the threat to Chechnya's current calm. Although Kadyrov's benefactor still holds a position in the Kremlin, he is no longer able to protect Kadyrov and preserve his unrestricted power over Chechnya. This means the siloviki could push their interest in divesting power in Grozny -- and over the structure of Chechen forces -- from a single person.
Since Surkov's fall from power, Kadyrov has begun to indicate that he could eventually step down as president. Currently no real alternative to Kadyrov's rule in Chechnya exists, nor is there any guarantee that Chechen forces would be loyal to any other leader. Chechnya is not ripe for a peaceful transition of power, so Putin will have to ensure that Kadyrov and Surkov feel secure enough to prevent any break from the current peace. For fear of a larger destabilization in Chechnya in the future, Putin will restrain those in the Kremlin who want to change the status quo.

Don't worry my friend Russia is still a counterweight to the US...:thumb:
Kremlin would not leave the area unattended since it is a huge problem for Russia and the lid has to be kept on or else it would turn out to be expensive in terms of stability and economics.
So long as there is Russian over-watch on the Pankisi Gorge, much of the problems can be kept under control with a bit of arm twisting Georgia.

Putin's Secret War
The bloody Islamic insurgency in Russia's backyard.
ends drove up to the police checkpoint. With iPads and cell phones held aloft, they began taking photos of the men in uniform.
The Dagestan insurgency began with the spillover of militant activity following Russia's harsh crackdown on neighboring Chechnya in the late 1990s. Although the region is traditionally Sufi, militant Salafi imams have been making inroads in the North Caucasus since the collapse of the Soviet Union. In recent years, the region has been the scene of a vicious cycle of violence and repression: police and special forces have arrested thousands of young Salafists throughout the North Caucasus republics, which in turn has driven more young men -- and increasingly women -- to various jihadi groups that aim to establish an Islamic state encompassing the entire North Caucasus. With thousands of active fighters, the insurgency in Dagestan is now reportedly the largest in the Caucasus.
In Makhachkala, frustration and rage have been growing over the 17 people abducted, presumably by authorities, since the beginning of this year. Dagestan, always one spark away from fire, is heating up -- a bad sign in this region, where 254 Russian police officers died in insurgency-related incidents last year, far more than the number of U.S. casualties in Afghanistan.
"Women should be sitting at home cooking soup for men, under sharia law," the police officers sarcastically shouted at the angry crowd. The comment was the last straw for Zhanna Ismailova. Two of her five sons had been abducted from their workplaces that month, she said. Men in black uniforms, who introduced themselves as members of the Federal Security Service (FSB) took them in on suspicion of militant activity. One of her sons, Arslan, 34, had been released after two days and has gone into hiding. Taking out her cell phone, Ismailova showed me pictures of her son's wounds, including pictures of his feet, burned by what she said were electric shocks. The FSB men questioned Arslan about twin suicide attacks on May 3 that killed 13 and injured more than 100 people in Makhachkala. Ismailova's youngest son, Rashid, is still missing. "This brutality and Moscow's idiotic politics is the reason for the war," Ismailova said.
At one point, she slipped past guards and ran into the building, yelling: "Show me immediately the cells where you beat our children!" Outside, hundreds of her supporters, now face to face with a unit of special-forces troops in black balaclavas, were raising their hands in the air and chanting: "God is Great! God is Great!"
To most Russians, the scene would probably look more like Syria or Libya than their own country. State television rarely broadcasts images or even official comments about the increasing human rights abuses by the FSB or police in Dagestan. It's a part of Russia that newly returned President Vladimir Putin does not want to talk about now. Meanwhile, Dagestan is quietly turning from police action to the kind of shooting war against Islamic insurgents that Putin waged with brutal efficiency in Chechnya at the beginning of his first presidential term.
Gannushkina has been focusing on the North Caucuses for years, calling and Skyping associates in the region day and night. A member of ex-President Dmitry Medvedev's human rights council, she reported to the Kremlin for the past three years about conditions in the Caucuses. She got little reaction to her increasingly dire warnings while Medvedev was in charge, but with Putin back in his presidential seat, Gannushkina quit the council along with other highly respected human rights defenders.
The night before the angry gathering outside the Kirovsky police station, Gannushkina, members of the human rights NGO Memorial, and a parliamentary committee on constitutional law and civil society stayed up all night in Moscow, trying to save the lives of two young men, three women, and two babies in a house in Makhachkala surrounded by federal forces. The inhabitants of the house were suspected of participating in the Islamist underground. Gannushkina and her team tried for hours to convince the commander of the operation to let the women and children out and allow the men to surrender. But in the end, federal forces raided the house, killing one of the men, who was indeed armed; keeping the three women in custody for a day; and arresting and beating the other man at Kirovsky station. It was this arrest that precipitated the demonstration at the station the next day.
The situation at the station quickly spiraled out of control. Soon enough, blood was on the pavement. Several Salafi men grabbed this reporter's notebook and camera, but returned them. A reporter for a web news portal went down in a scrum of fists, was pulled out and rescued by police, and later flew to Moscow to receive treatment for shock and bruises. The police started making arrests. The crowd threw chunks of pavement, hitting one policeman in the forehead, leaving a bloody gash. Before the crowd dispersed, 11 more people were in cells in Kirovsky station.
It was just another day in the violent conflict that most Russians aren't even aware is taking place within their own country.

This scenic caravan and camping park has direct access to the beach. One of the most beautiful beaches to be found on the West Coast of Ireland. Renvyle Beach is situated 30km from Clifden, 1.5km from Tullycross in the heart of North Connemara and is a paradise for families.

Wild camping! Gorgeous scenery,camping at it's best and worst. As a first timer an endurance test. Huge unfulfilled potential on this site. The owners are crotchety to say the least. Unmown grass definitely a problem from a safety point of view at night due to unseen electric cabling and no lighting whatsoever. Major trip hazard.
If wild camping is what you are after then this is the place for you! The site has the potential to be a real gem but the owners (who arent that pleasant or bothered) seem quite content to take your money with very little effort on the upkeep of the place. That aside if you can tolerate uncut grass and dodgey pitches then this is actually a really lovely place to stay. the beach is just glorious and the scenery outstanding.

Survey: ¾ of Homeowners Say Mortgage Negatively Affects Ability to Save
Seventy-seven percent of U.S. mortgage holders say the size of their mortgage has a negative impact on their ability to save money for the future, according to a survey by Bankrate.com, New York.
The survey, conducted with YouGov Plc of nearly 4,000 adults, also found of those, 31% said it has a "major negative impact," while 46% said the impact was "minor."
Meanwhile, homeowners said they are more likely to have the equity in their home exceed their retirement savings.
The survey said mortgage holders whose efforts to save money for the future are most impacted by the size of their payment include 82% of Gen Xers (ages 40-55), 81% of parents with young children (ages 18 and under) and 78% of millennials (ages 24-39). Additionally, lower-income households (under $49,999) were more inclined to say the size of mortgage has a major negative impact on their ability to save than a minor one (44% vs. 36%).
"Big mortgage payments take a bite out of your monthly income but are also a major obstacle to saving for retirement, emergencies, or other financial goals," said Greg McBride, Bankrate.com chief financial analyst. "Homebuyers should beware of biting off more than they can comfortably chew and locking themselves into payments that make it difficult to save."
The survey said nearly two in five (39%) homeowners say the equity in their home is higher than their retirement savings accounts (including 401k or IRA), while 28% say the balance in their retirement accounts exceeds their home equity. Thirty-eight percent of those who own their home outright have more equity in their home than funds in their retirement accounts, and 28% of outright homeowners say their total retirement balance is higher. Only 12% say their home equity is equal to their retirement balance.
Between 18%-22% of every generation of homeowners (aside from Gen Z) do not know whether they have more money in home equity or their retirement accounts. Women, lower earners and those with less education are more likely to be unsure of which balance is higher.
"One in five homeowners don't know whether their retirement account balance is more or less than what they have in home equity, a possible disconnect to their own finances," McBride said.
The survey noted home equity exceeds retirement account balances among every age group, but the gap narrows over time. Twice as many millennial homeowners have more home equity than retirement savings (46% vs 23%); the difference is much smaller among Boomers (ages 56-74), with 37% having more home equity and 33% having a larger retirement account balance. It also reported the likelihood for retirement account balances to exceed home equity increases with income and education. Higher-income households ($80,000 and over) are most likely to have a higher retirement balance than home equity (44% retirement vs. 34% home equity) as well as those with post-graduate degrees (49% vs. 32%).

Decades after Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed for spying for the Soviet Union, their children are still fighting to honor their parents' name.
In 1953, the Rosenbergs were convicted of selling U.S. plans for a nuclear bomb to the Soviets, a verdict that was, according to their long-orphaned sons Michael and Robert, erroneous, exaggerated, and manufactured to fuel Cold War frenzy. But in 2008, the Rosenbergs' sons took a blow, when an acquaintance of Julius Rosenberg's implicated the man in a spy ring.
The Rosenberg sons, who adopted their foster parents' surname Meeropol, have spent most of their lives struggling to vindicate their parents, who they believed innocent. But the 2008 confession by Morton Sobell, an acquaintance of Julius Rosenberg's who spent 17 years in jail for spying, admitted for the first time his involvement in a spy ring that included Julius.
Nevertheless, the execution of their parents continues to be an unnecessary tragedy. In 2015, the sons unsuccessfully petitioned Barack Obama to posthumously exonerate their mother, who they believed was convicted and executed on flimsy evidence.

Q: Math returns NaN Im trying to make an particle move towards where on canvas was clicked however the formula returns NaN. Why is this and how can I fix this?

*

*step 1: Particle gets placed at player.x, player.y properly.

*step 2: At first tick the particle goes to the upper left point of the canvas  without x,y position.

Screenie of particle props
example at jsfiddle
Particle Object
function Shuriken(mouseX, mouseY) {
    this.rot = 0;
    this.vel = 2;
    this.angle = 0;
    this.x = player.x || WIDTH / 2;
    this.y = player.y || HEIGHT / 2;
    this.mouseX = mouseX || WIDTH /2;
    this.mouseY = mouseY || HEIGHT /2
    this.width = shurikenImg.width;
    this.height = shurikenImg.height;
}

update on tick
Shuriken.prototype.move = function() {
    this.angle = Math.atan2(this.mouseY, this.x) * (180 / Math.PI);
    this.x += this.vel * Math.cos(this.angle);
    this.y += this.vel * Math.sin(this.angle);
}

A: *

*You convert angle from radians into degrees. Nicer to debug (because degrees are still taught in school) but alas, the sin and cos in the next lines expect their arguments to be in radians again. Granted, the functions ought still to work; but the values you get are no longer what you expect.

*this.vel is undefined in the jsfiddle. This is most likely what lead to the observed NaN.

*This is a wrong calculation:
this.x = this.vel * Math.cos(this.angle);
this.y = this.vel * Math.sin(this.angle);

You don't want the x and y positions calculated this way. Add or subtract the (adjusted) velocity from the x/y coordinates.

Will Apple Release a Car Within the Next 10 Years?
AMT Staff 2 years ago 2 years ago 2 Mins Read
Rumors are rife that technology giant Apple is looking to make an incursion into the rapidly growing electric car market. Although things are very much still under wraps, there is a distinct possibility that we may see an Apple car that will rival the enormous success of Tesla and other electric car brands in the not too distant future. In this article, we will look to shine a light on the progress Apple is making and what an Apple car may look like if its electric car program ever comes to fruition.
What We Know So Far
Apple has long harbored a desire to create an all-electric car for the mass consumer market. Since 2014, the tech giant has been working on "Project Titan", a program which is focused on designing and building an autonomous driving system. Despite numerous early setbacks and mass layoffs of employees who had been working on the system, earlier suggestions that Apple may have shelved its plans for an Apple car to concentrate on building an autonomous driving software look to be wide of the mark.
In August 2018, Apple rehired former Tesla engineering prodigy to head the Titan Project. This was seen as a significant signal of intent by Apple and got people talking about a doubling down on its plans for electric cars.
In June 2019, Apple purchased Drive.ai, a startup specializing in driverless vehicle systems which use artificial intelligence. It retained a number of the company's designers and engineers.
Rumor has it that Apple has leased a secret site in the San Francisco Bay Area to serve as a design, research and testing facility for its new car. It has also filed patents for several car design features as well as buying up the web domains related to possible Apple car names.
What Might an Apple Car Look Like?
There is wild speculation about what any potential iCar might look like and its functionality. However, it looks like Apple's main objective is to create a car with ground-breaking driverless technology. In a Bloomberg interview in 2017, when Apple published research detailing its plans for a 3D detection system called VoxelNet, which reportedly has the capability to help driverless vehicles avoid collisions with cyclists and pedestrians.
A report from Business Insider in 2017 offered a glimpse of what the Apple car may features. According to the report, the car may feature doors which open and close automatically, a fully autonomous interior with no steering wheel or pedals, virtual or augmented reality displays, spherical wheels allowing for sideways movement and a revolutionary Apple-powered in-car entertainment system.
When Might the Car Be Released?
The truth is that we have no concrete information of when or even if an Apple car may ever hit the commercial markets. However, reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has recently expressed the belief that Apple continues to work on an Apple-branded vehicle. Kuo went on to say that he expects the vehicle to be launched somewhere in the period between 2023 and 2025.

Dramatic waterspout sighted off the coast of southwest Nova Scotia
Carla Allen
Yarmouth County Vanguard
Tue, 20 Oct 2015 20:25 UTC
© Aldric D'Eon
Aldric D'Eon shot this photo of a waterspout about 50 kilometres southwest of Pubnico Point on Oct. 17.
Centuries ago, fishermen would have shot any guns they had aboard into the heart of any twisting maelstrom they saw that connected the ocean to the sky. Waterspouts were feared as omens of bad luck. But on the afternoon of Oct. 17, crewmember Aldric D'eon shot his Nikon D7200, fitted with a 70-300mm lens, at the phenomenon.
Luckily, for those who marvel at his capture, the West Pubnico resident is a camera-toting type of person. "I'm a welder by trade, a fisherman by choice. I do photography as a hobby," he said. D'eon's camera was on the dash of the FV Angelo O during his stint at the wheel. They were about 50 kilometres from homeport (Dennis Point, Yarmouth County), after fishing for haddock on Georges Bank, when he noticed a storm on the radar, west of their portside.
"A lot of times when you see a rainstorm on the radar, it's spread out all over. This one was intense, a solid block that stayed its shape," he said. He estimates the storm was about six miles wide by 15 miles long on the radar. The sky was black near the storm but forward, starboard and aft there were fluffy clouds and a blue sky. Although D'Eon has seen odd formations of clouds at times, this was his first glimpse at a waterspout.
Although the vortex looked huge and ominous, fear wasn't a factor for him. "It was five or six miles from us. I was watching what it was doing on the radar and it was going to the north, northeast, faster than we were. "It was still west of us so I knew it wasn't going to go over top of us. We watched it for half an hour and then the dark cloud started to break up," he said.
Photos of waterspouts are not a rare sight for Environment Canada senior climatologist David Phillips. He's seen many, including "families" of the twisting columns. He describes the one D'Eon saw as a textbook example, with the parent cloud and spray at the surface. "It looked a little more ominous than what I've seen on the Great Lakes. They look tame compared to this one. It looked almost angry," he said.
When he checked observations for the area around the sighting, he noted that water temperatures were around 15 or 16 degrees Celsius but that the air temperature was around eight degrees. It was also very humid and a thunderstorm was occurring. The combination of conditions could result in waterspouts. He added that some of the spouts do have the power to flip a boat, with winds of 80-100 km/hr. possible
"It is 'tornadic' in a sense. It's in that family of 'twister sisters'," said Phillips. There have been famous instances of waterspouts picking up fish, frogs or turtles and carrying them up into the vortex. "They have carried them to a level in the atmosphere that can actually freeze them, then they dissipate and fall from the sky. There have been documented cases," said Phillips.
The Florida Keys can see 400-500 waterspouts each summer. In 2007 there was a family of waterspouts in late August off Prince Edward Island. Warmer water and cooler air could spawn an epidemic of waterspouts, says Phillips.
D'Eon is still marvelling at the experience. "I'm excited to no end to be at the right place at the right time. And I had the gear with me. If I had the cell phone (camera) it wouldn't be anything to talk about."

Coconut rice is a dish prepared by soaking white rice in coconut milk or cooking it with coconut flakes. As both the coconut and the rice-plant are commonly found in the tropics all-around the world, coconut rice too is found in many cultures throughout the world, spanning across the equator from the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, South America, Central America, East Africa, the Caribbean and Oceania.

Southeast Asia

Burma
In Burmese cuisine, ohn htamin (), as rice cooked with coconut milk is called, is a ceremonial staple food, often eaten in lieu of plain white rice. In the most basic version of ohn htamin, rice is cooked with a base of coconut milk, along with fried shallots and salt, adding to the rice's savory and rich flavours. Ohn htamin is commonly paired with Burmese sibyan curries.

Indonesia
Rice cooked in coconut milk is common in Indonesian cuisine, with each region having developed their own version of it. Plain coconut rice is usually made from white rice, coconut milk, ginger, fenugreek seed, lemongrass and pandan leaves, with the most common coconut rice recipe in Indonesia being nasi uduk from Jakarta. Other coconut milk rice recipes include nasi gurih from Aceh and Javanese nasi liwet. Nasi kuning is Indonesian yellow rice which is similar to coconut rice with addition of turmeric as a coloring and flavoring agent. Other types of coconut rice recipes take the form of dumplings, such as burasa from Makassar and lemang popular in Minangkabau.

Malaysia
Nasi lemak (coconut milk and pandan leaf) is the most popular coconut rice recipe in Malaysia. It is considered a national dish of Malaysia.

Thailand
In Thai cuisine, sweet coconut rice is very popular as a dessert or sweet snack. It is made with glutinous rice, coconut milk, sugar, salt and water and most famously paired with slices of ripe mango and an additional dollop of coconut cream. Outside of the mango season, it will also be eaten with other fruits or semi-sweet dishes. Other popular coconut rice desserts are khao tom mat, where sweet banana is steamed inside sticky rice while wrapped in a banana leaf, khao lam, where the rice and coconut milk mixture is steamed inside a section of bamboo, and khao niao kaeo, a very sweet dessert of glutinous rice, coconut milk, and large amounts of sugar, and most often pink or green in color.

Indian subcontinent

India
In India, coconut rice (కొబ్బరి అన్నం Telugu, ಕಾಯಿ ಅನ್ನ in Kannada, தேங்காய் சாதம் in Tamil.) famous in the southern regions. In India, coconut rice usually made from basmati rice with mild coconut flavours acquired from coconut milk, and commonly served with curries. It is made with coconut flakes (or grated or desiccated/dry coconut). One way to make this dish is to make the rice separately (preferably using a rice variety which is light and fluffy when cooked) and then mixing it with the coconut mixture (coconut flakes toasted in sesame/coconut oil and spiced with paprika, nuts, curry powder/leaves, and other spices).

Sri Lanka
In Sri Lanka, coconut rice is often referred to as "milk rice" or kiribath. It is widely served across the nation on special occasions to mark the auspicious timings or moments. It is accompanied by lunu miris a spicy onion sambol ground with red chilli, onions, tomato, lime and salt with umbalakada.

Latin America

Colombia and Panama

On the Caribbean coast of Colombia and Panama, arroz con coco is a typical side dish for fish. It is made with white rice cooked in a base of coconut milk and combined with shredded coconut meat, water, salt, raisins (optional), and sugar.

Honduras
In the Caribbean coast of Honduras, rice is traditionally cooked with coconut oil, coconut milk, garlic, onions and red or black beans, a hearty dish known as "rice and beans". This plate is especially popular among Hondurans of African ancestry (Garifuna), but like many other Garifuna plates and foods with African influence, it is popular among all Hondurans and regarded as a typical Honduran food by Hondurans of all racial backgrounds.

Puerto Rico
In Puerto Rico coconut rice is usually served with fish and sweet plantains.  The rice is sautéed with coconut oil and salt, shredded coconut and coconut milk are then added with the option of garlic, onions, cilantro, raisins, and kumquats. The rice is then coved with a banana leaf during the cooking process. Another popular coconut rice dish is arroz con dulce (coconut rice pudding) a dessert made with milk, coconut milk, coconut cream, raisins, vanilla, rum, sugar, ginger, and spice. Puerto Rican rice pudding is popular in Colombia, Cuba, and Venezuela.

Oceania

Samoa
In Samoa, coconut rice is known as Alaisa fa'apopo and is made by cooking white rice in coconut milk. A variation of coconut rice known as Koko alaisa is made with the addition of cocoa and orange leaves, often eaten as a snack or desert. Coconut rice is typically eaten on its own or as an accompaniment to dishes such as Moa fa'asaina.

Bulls Dunks Go Viral
Greg Oden got the wrong end of the Bulls' athleticism on Monday night
By Eamonn Brennan	• Published at 1:42 pm on November 24, 2009
The Bulls may have lost on the court to the Blazers Monday night, but with two big dunks over Greg Oden, they won where it really counts: the Internet.
Yes, the Blazers had no problem with the Bulls Monday, winning 122-98 in the Rose Garden as the Bulls' jump shooting tendencies doomed them to another loss. (Seriously, fellas, take it to the rim. Come on.)
But the final score isn't what anyone on the Internet cares about. Instead the talk has been all about Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, and Greg Oden. Or, more precisely, what the former duo did to the latter.
The first dunk was Joakim Noah's, which came on the break and caused college hoops to rewind the clock back to the 2007 NCAA tournament Final, when Noah's Gators literally and figuratively dunked all over Oden's Ohio State Buckeyes:
The second was even more impressive: Derrick Rose adjusting in mid-air and dunking all over Oden (and letting out a rather uncharacteristic scream upon delivery):
It's safe to say Rose's tender ankle is feeling better.
This is all unfair to Oden, who had a career-high for points with 24, in addition to 12 rebounds. It have been his best game as a Blazer. And all anyone will remember is those giant dunks. The highlight reel is a cruel mistress.

Q: Bokeh Find Distances between Points I have code below that creates a simple line x-y plot.
I want to be able to interactively measure distances between points on the plot and display it on the graph preferably but in a nearby glyph also works.
Say I click and drag from one point to another point (or random spots on the map) using some tool, I want something that tells me the distance in x (don't really need y or euclidean distance in this example).
How do I do that?

A: You could do it with a TapTool and a CustomJS callback. I added one to your code that just logs the x-values of each point and the distance between a first and second choice to the JS console; you could update a source for a nearby glyph with this info.

y2 = [abs(xx - 5) for xx in x]
source = ColumnDataSource(data=dict(x=x, y0=y0, y1=y1, y2=y2))
x_list = []

for i in range(1):
    callback = CustomJS(args=dict(source=source, x_list=x_list), code='''
        var selected_x = source.data.x[source.selected.indices];
        if (x_list.length == 0) // indicates that this is the first point selected
        {
          console.log("First point selected is "+selected_x)
          x_list.push(selected_x);
        }
        else // this is the second point selected
        {
          console.log("Second point is " + selected_x + ". Distance is " + (selected_x - x_list[0]))
          x_list.pop();
        }
    ''')

    p = figure(title="Basic Title", plot_width=800, plot_height=400)
    p.add_tools(TapTool(callback=callback))
    if len(data):
        p.x_range = data[0].x_range
        p.y_range = data[0].y_range

    p.circle('x', 'y0', size=10, color="navy", alpha=0.5, legend_label='line1', source=source)

    p.legend.location = 'top_right'

A: Use ctrl+shift+J open js console in chorme, and can get result log. For hyles_lineata`s answer.
