WASHINGTON – Congressional Democrats will take another stab at reopening shuttered federal agencies this week and President Donald Trump will take his case for a border wall directly to the American people as the partial government shutdown stretches into one of the longest in history.
House Democrats, flexing their political muscle as the new majority, are planning to pass several individual bills this week to fund departments and agencies that have been closed since the shutdown started in late December. They plan to start with Treasury Department so that tax refunds for Americans won't be delayed.
But the shutdown, now in its third week, is almost certain to go on through the remainder of this week and possibly longer.
Democrats are hoping that passing the bills will put more pressure on Trump and the GOP to end the budget standoff. But Republicans still control the Senate and have no plans to vote on the spending bills, meaning they are likely dead on arrival.
Trump, meanwhile, is planning his own offensive, starting with a prime-time television address Tuesday night on what he called the crisis at the nation's border. The speech, which begins at 9 p.m. EST and will be Trump's first from the Oval Office, will give him a chance to lay out his case on an issue that has led to the shutdown.
I am pleased to inform you that I will Address the Nation on the Humanitarian and National Security crisis on our Southern Border. Tuesday night at 9:00 P.M. Eastern.
Trump also plans to visit the U.S.-Mexico border Thursday to promote his plan for an anti-migration border wall, which remains the sticking point in negotiations with Democrats to reopen the government.
The Wall - An in-depth examination of Donald Trump's border wall
Trump will "meet with those on the front lines of the national security and humanitarian crisis" at the border, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders posted on Twitter. "More details will be announced soon."
Trump, who first floated the idea of traveling to the border during a surprise visit to Iraq the day after Christmas, has been pressing lawmakers for $5.6 billion for the border wall, triggering the budget standoff that resulted in one-quarter of the federal government closing its doors Dec. 22.
With no end in sight, the shutdown is on course to become the longest on record.
Tuesday marks the 18th day of the shutdown, tying the record for the second-longest ever. If the shutdown is still in effect at 12:01 a.m. Saturday, it will become the longest shutdown on record. The previous record was a 21-day shutdown in 1995 and 1996.
Here's a closer look at the four longest government shutdowns, not including the current one, why they happened and the fallout from each.
Clinton vs. Gingrich

Duration: 21 days, began Dec. 5, 1995, ended Jan. 6, 1996
What happened: This titanic political battle between Democratic President Bill Clinton and Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich holds the record for the longest shutdown.
It was the second standoff between the two, both over taxes, and came just a month after a five-day shutdown from Nov. 13-19. 2015.
Gingrich and other congressional Republicans wanted to reduce spending. Clinton refused to make the cuts they wanted. Gingrich then refused to raise the debt limit. The shutdown ended when the two sides agreed to a seven-year budget plan with some spending cuts and tax increases.
Polls gave Clinton the nod in this duel. His approval ratings rose and he was elected to a second term that fall. Many criticized Gingrich for his behavior during this time, especially when he complained about being forced to exit Air Force One from the back of the plane.
Carter vs. Congress

Duration: 18 days, began Sept. 30, 1978, ended Oct. 18, 1978.
What happened: Democratic President Jimmy Carter found himself at odds with Congress even though Democrats controlled both the House and Senate. Carter vetoed a defense bill that included funding for a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and public works legislation that included funding for water projects.
He saw these projects as wasteful spending. More critically, funding for the Department of Health, Education and Welfare was delayed because of a dispute involving Medicaid funding for abortion.
Carter succeeded in getting the projects he opposed stripped from legislation and the House and Senate passed a bill that expanded the exceptions to the Medicaid abortion ban to include rape and incest.
Obamacare or bust

Duration: 16 days, began Oct. 1, 2013, ended Oct. 17, 2013
What happened: Republicans in Congress sought to delay or defund the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare, after failing in their efforts at outright repeal. They attempted to force President Barack Obama's hand by approving a temporary measure that would fund the government but would cut funding to implement Obamacare.
The Senate, controlled by Democrats, rejected the plan. The resulting impasse shut down the government. The standoff ended when Republicans conceded defeat and a deal was worked out to reopen the government. Polls showed that Republicans took the brunt of the blame.
Abortion shutdown
What happened: This was the period when Democrats controlled both Houses of Congress and the White House. Still, the House and Senate could not agree on the exceptions to the ban on Medicaid funding for abortions.
House Democrats wanted to continue a ban on using Medicaid to pay for abortions, except in cases when the mother's life was in jeopardy. Senate Democrats wanted funding to be allowed in cases of rape or incest.
The shutdown ended when a short-term funding bill was passed that allowed for more time for the two sides to negotiate. Republicans ended up benefiting politically because it was an intraparty fight among Democrats that had shuttered government.

"America's Most Hated Company" may have just given customers another reason to hate it by launching of Xfinity Mobile, the company's first attempt at breaking in to the wireless market. With the new service Comcast will offer its customers TV, home internet, home phone and wireless service under one umbrella. Yes that means you will likely get more calls and marketing pushing an upgrade to the bundled. the service.
The service will be back-boned by a combination of Comcast Xfinity Wi-Fi hotspots and Verizon's existing network.Giving customers cellular coverage through Verizon at times when they can not connect to one of Comcast's millions of Wi-Fi hotspots. The phones will automatically connect to those locations, similar to how Google's Project Fi works.
Comcast is promising no line access fees, with unlimited talk and text on up to five lines. All you will pay for is data usage. Combined with its internet service, it will have "unlimited" mobile data access available for $65 per month, per line, while its "best" bundle package brings the price for unlimited access down to $45 per month. As with most of these "unlimited" plans, unlimited truly doesn't mean unlimited. Customers using more than 20GB a month will end up being throttled, severely in this case based on what Ars Technica is reporting.
Gig" option one month, they can switch to "Unlimited" for that month, then switch back the next month with no penalties. Additionally with Xfinity Mobile, Comcast is offering 24/7 customer support via text message and a dedicated Xfinity Mobile call center support team. Hope it is better than their existing service!
As far as devices are concerned the company has already confirmed Xfinity Mobile will sell the the iPhone SE, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus for the service. They aren't being as transparent about what Android-based products will be offered, but it confirmed that it will "feature the best devices from Samsung and LG". Hopefully, that means customers can get the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus and the LG G6 via Xfinity Mobile.
For more details on the new service checkout the full Comcast announcement and Xfinity Mobile fact sheet or the Xfinity Mobile corporate websitee where you can also pre-register for more information.
When it comes to security one of the most overlooked areas I typically see is one of the most basic fundamentals, utilizing your built in lock-screen to keep prying eyes out of your device. This seems to be true whether we are talking smartphones, tablets or PCs. For most of us I think it is a matter of inconvenience, or for me the forgetfulness of simply not remembering to lock my screen (my timeout time is a bit long as well).
Luckily for me the folks over at GateKeeper have come up with a new option that I've been fortunate enough to test out for you guys! GateKeeper has developed a wireless intelligent key that automatically logs you in and out based on your proximity to your computer or workstation. No longer do you have worry about timeouts or remembering to lock your computer. You simply carry your wireless Keyfob around (on your badge, in your pocket whatever) and walk away. Once you are no longer within your pre-defined range GateKeeper will automatically lock your PC for you.
The GateKeeper Key and USB Lock communicate using Bluetooth 4.0 wireless technology to authenticate you when you are in proximity to computer. It has an effective range of 30 feet and can be controlled to limit the range from anywhere between 3 and 30 feet. The GateKeeper key is 50mm x 25mm x 6mm; 10gm or roughly the size of a Tile Bluetooth Tracker (as seen below) while the USB dongle is a standard micro size used by other wireless devices.
Your credentials are encrypted with military-grade AES256 encryption and stored on the computer. No private information is stored on the Keyfob and credentials are never transmitted over the air – so nothing private can be sniffed or obtained from taking a Keyfob. Once the GateKeeper software and USB transmitter are installed the computer will automatically lock if they are removed.Giving you just one more level of security.
Setup within the software is pretty straightforward. You have options for setting up you lock or login to your computer, range of proximity, a signal strength indicator and a few options for notifications. Personally I prefer and recommend using the touch to login option as this allows you to keep your device locked when you are nearby and aren't ready to use it. Otherwise once you are back on range your computer automatically unlocks (as it should).
Aside from the software for your PC is software for your phone that allows you to use your phone as a tracker and locator for your Gk Keyfob. The software (Android) or our phone did not want to pair with our device so we didn't get to fully test it. The app will connect to the GK Keyfob and a meter will indicate how far it is from the smartphone. As you walk around, the app will indicate whether you have moved closer or further away from the GK Keyfob. Using the "LOCATE" feature will also cause the GK Keyfob to buzz making it easier for you to find your lost valuables.
I am notorious for leaving myself logged on while I'm doing other things around the office or while I'm out working in the field. Luckily, the worst thing that I've had done to me was a little Facebook prankery. Having said that, within the first day of using it I learned that this little device is a must have for me, in fact I think they should be must have's for most (out of)office environments! It literally is a set and forget device, and unlike my timeout for my Windows lock screen I don't have to worry about someone jumping on my laptop before the timeout takes affect.
A second major plus is the addition of a remote lock button that allows me to lock my computer instantly from across the room. This can come in handy if you are browsing some more sensitive material or have something on the screen that might need to be quickly hidden away even though you are in close proximity.
In terms of effective range and connectivity we had no issues at all. We tested it at the shortest (3ft), and furthest (30ft) ranges and never once had false locks or issues with our GateKeeper not locking. Personally I'd set it for somewhere in the mid-range as I did have it lock my screen a few times when I thought I was still in range. As mentioned I also prefer using the touch to login option as there was no option to keep my laptop locked when I was in range and this was the only way to do so.
I wish I could have tested the phone app out, but that might be an issue with my phone rather than the app for the GK. If I do it to work I'll be sure to post and update.
The complete GateKeeper System starts at $60 on Amazon, or you can get a 2 pack for $90 directly from GK. If you try them out let us know what you think!

A.2 library(ansi_term):
Print decorated text to ANSI consoles

See also

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code

This library allows for exploiting the color and attribute facilities
of most modern terminals using ANSI escape sequences. This library
provides the following:

ansi_format/3
allows writing messages to the terminal with ansi attributes.

It defines the hook prolog:message_line_element/2,
which provides ansi attributes for print_message/2.

[det]ansi_format(<var>+ClassOrAttributes,
+Format, +Args</var>)

<var>Format</var> text with ANSI attributes. This predicate behaves as
format/2 using <var>Format</var>
and <var>Args</var>, but if the current_output is a
terminal, it adds ANSI escape sequences according to Attributes. For
example, to print a text in bold cyan, do

?- ansi_format([bold,fg(cyan)], 'Hello ~w', [world]).

Attributes is either a single attribute, a list thereof or a term
that is mapped to concrete attributes based on the current theme (see prolog:console_color/2).
The attribute names are derived from the ANSI specification. See the
source for sgr_code/2 for details. Some
commonly used attributes are:

bold

underline

<var>fg(Color)</var> , <var>bg(Color),hfg(Color),hbg(Color)</var>

For fg(Color) and bg(Color), the colour name
can be’#RGB' or’#RRGGBB'

<var>fg8(Spec)</var> , <var>bg8(Spec)</var>

8-bit color specification. <var>Spec</var> is a colour name, h(Color)
or an integer 0..255.

<var>fg(R, G, B)</var> , <var>bg(R,
G, B)</var>

24-bit (direct color) specification. The components are integers in the
range 0..255.

Defined color constants are below. default can be used
to access the default color of the terminal.

black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, white

ANSI sequences are sent if and only if

The current_output has the property tty(true)
(see
stream_property/2).

The Prolog flag color_term is true.

[semidet,multifile]prolog:console_color(<var>+Term,
-AnsiAttributes</var>)

Hook that allows for mapping abstract terms to concrete ANSI attributes.
This hook is used by theme files to adjust the rendering based on
user preferences and context. Defaults are defined in the file boot/messages.pl.

See also

library(theme/dark) for an example implementation and the <var>Term</var>
values used by the system messages.

[semidet,multifile]prolog:message_line_element(<var>+Stream,
+Term</var>)

Hook implementation that deals with ansi(+Attr, +Fmt, +Args)
in message specifications.

[semidet]ansi_get_color(<var>+Which,
-RGB</var>)

Obtain the <var>RGB</var> color for an ANSI color parameter. <var>Which</var>
is either a color alias or an integer ANSI color id. Defined aliases are
foreground and background. This predicate
sends a request to the console (user_output) and reads the
reply. This assumes an xterm compatible terminal.

<var>RGB</var> 	is a term rgb(Red,Green,Blue).
The color components are integers in the range 0..65535.

Who am I? A good question. I'm a person like you. Such a vague answer and not very informative is it? If you've come here you should ask the question who do I think I am? You most likely do not know me, or you might know me some limited fashion. You want to know more? Thank you! I cannot describe myself as my wife see's me, nor as my daughter sees me. They both know me very well but have entirely different view points, which vary depending on the time of day, last conversation, moon phase and glucose levels. Getting them to write a description of me might be nice but it wouldn't paint the whole picture as my boss see's me differently.
So should I try to portray myself from someone else's point of view? Maybe in the broadest sense. I can tell you I'm 6'3″ about 260lb. I like to lift weights but I'm no muscle head, in fact I've found I've stopped growing up and started growing out. Most frustrating. Based on what I've said you now know I have a wife and daughter but still not much. Yes?
So, the question becomes, what do you want to know? Why don't you ask me? Perhaps I'm not readily available and you might not know what to ask. Okay. Good response. You want to get some measure of me as a person. Good. You can't learn if you don't ask questions. You want to find some flaws in my character, attitude or actions to justify your beliefs? Yep. I get that too. That is who YOU are, not who I am. I don't claim to be perfect, all knowledgeable or particularly great, but overall I am happy with who I am (not that there isn't room for improvement mind you!) but I accept who am and what I have accomplished with my life. I have put my life on the line for something bigger than myself, I have survived situations that others did not. I have loved, lost, cried, been beaten, been poor, been spit up on and I have triumphed. I am an optimistic pessimist. It means I am pleasantly surprised when things go right but it doesn't drag me down.
I have created this site to show off my works, who I am and to help people understand me. There will be some bragging and some introspection, some ranting, some raving and some nonsensical mumbling. Woo hoo! It's my corner of Cyberspace. MINE. If you don't like it I'm sure you know how to leave.
Now that you have read the disclaimer. Welcome to who I think I am and what I do. Disagree or not, share your opinion. I may not agree with you but I do like to learn and experience the opinions and views of others.
Loved your book "The Return"… So when will the next on be finished 🙂 I do have a few questions though, what is a "Soma". What happened to a few of the sentient droids at the end of the book. Since the Alamo was a month away how did they get to the system for the battles end. Just a few unanswered questions.
Still loved it and looking forward for the next one. Thank you for your time.
Thank you. I'm working on the sequel but the muse has grabbed my by the throat and forcing me to finish another Fantasy series (Almost done with book two and will resume book two of the Conglomerate series).
I will work on clarifying that though. Thank you.
Woot, thanx for your he reply. What's the name of your new series?
Aelfsward, Incidental Elf. I'll post more on it later. Recently the database for my websites got toasted and backups don't work so I'm rebuilding a lot. . .
William, absolutely loved The Return and cannot WAIT for your next installment. Note I did not say "sequel", as I hope there will be way more than simply one more book!
The Bad News: I gave the book four stars on Amazon, the reason being it was incompletely edited. If the edit had been better, I would have given it all five stars. REALLY loved the book!
Being a "grammarhead" (I just can't help it: I had a couple of great English teachers during the grammar years) as well as an avid space opera reader, the extra words – where it was obvious you had one thought, and then changed a verb tense or modifier – wrong verb tense, lack of a comma to set off different clauses, etc. – all detracted from my reading experience. As I said, I can't help it. That said, if you would like another set of eyes on a nearly-finished project, you write so compellingly that I would be happy to proofread and edit for you. Yes, I enjoyed your writing that much! Please note: I am not perfect. But I could clean things up a little bit for you.
My wife is writing her first novel, so I am familiar with the desire to not share anything with anybody else. I give you my word that I will be the only reader of any material you send me, and will get it back to you edited (with suggestions, if I am not clearly convinced my correction is ideal) as soon as possible. I have only used Google Docs a tiny bit and am not yet familiar with it. I do, however, have Word with the Track Changes function, At any rate, LOVED The Return. PLEASE do another SOON!
Thank you. Yes, grammar is my bane and part of the reason #2 has not been released and #3 is barely started. An editor is expensive, and even then there are quality control issues. There is not enough money in it to really hire an editor it appears. I have about 8 novels that are pending 'editing'. I have found some software and am 'self educating' as I can, going through things with a fine tooth comb.
My English teacher in High School might have been retarded. She called her class her 'sweeties' and treated us like toddlers. Very hard to take her seriously. I might take you up on that once I've gone through it a couple more times. I'm a former Marine so I'm kinda stubborn but I want to self edit another round or two before I expose it. I'm learning a lot.
In reference to your wife. There are a couple facebook groups of Indie authors. I have some experience with the process as I do a lot of reading and have another somewhat successful series for Airsoft on Tactics and radio communications. If you have any questions on the process shoot me a message. I'm always happy to help other authors navigate the process. I don't see other authors as competition.
Well, Semper Fi, Dude! Kinda figured it, since your scenes were so well-described. Both I and wife are ex-Army, 1970-72 for me and 1985-88 for her. OK, so I married a child…. She's big into facebook and already has found a couple of groups, and occasionally attends a local "chapter" here in upstate SC. Hers is almost ready for her to start looking for a publisher. She's got it out to a teacher-friend for a final proofread and critique. She's been diagnosed with RA and has had a rough few months, but hopefully a new med will help her get back to speed and get going again on wrapping up her book.
As I said, I'm not perfect, but I'll get you most of the way there. So if #2 is ready for an edit, I'll do it just for getting to read it. No expense. Your stuff is too good!

Q: R: dbplyr: postgres: How to create an index on a table A user has a large table (3+ billion  rows).
To speed up queries for the next few months, an index on the remote database must be created.
Assuming there is a connection called conn - what is the best way to create an index and make it persist after disconnection from the database.
e.g.,
library(DBI)
sql<-'CREATE INDEX idx_pmid ON medcit  (pmid ASC);'
dbExecute(conn,sql)
dbDisconnect(conn)

The code above seem to work but how can the index be somehow verified (make sure it truly exist and speeds up future queries)? In other words - how can a user check the existence of the index? Also, do I need to issue COMMIT command somehow?

A: To create an index on a table:
dbGetQuery(conn, "CREATE INDEX index_name ON public.db_name USING btree (variable_name)")

This can be a very painful condition especially when accompanied by sepsis (often the case is the condition is ignored in the early stages).
In most cases the main cause is incorrect nail trimming, also trauma (stumping to toe against a hard object or dropping a heavy object on the toe).
Over the years Michael has developed several 'Hi-Tech' methods of treating this painfull condition that do not require a local anesthetic.

Oracle Retail SupportMichelle Wilkinson2020-12-15T08:31:29-07:00
Oracle Retail Third-Party Support
Comprehensive, Responsive, and Affordable Support for the Oracle Retail Suite
Spinnaker Support is a leading global provider of third-party support for enterprises running Oracle Retail (Retek). Spinnaker Support's third-party Oracle Retail support replaces Oracle's annual support. Third-party support is always at least half the cost of Oracle-provided support and provides more services through an assigned support team and highly personalized service.
When switching to Spinnaker Support, Oracle Retail customers gain more comprehensive and responsive service, save an average of 62% on their support fees, and can remain on their current on-premise software release indefinitely. Customers trust us to keep their applications running smoothly, securely, and in compliance, and to help them navigate the journey from on-premise to hybrid to cloud.
The Retail product line is expansive, and Spinnaker Support offers support for Retail Merchandising, Retail Planning, Retail Supply Chain, and more. We can support these products stand-alone or in combination with other applications that connect to Oracle retail, including Oracle Database, Fusion Middleware, and Oracle Technology.
Why Replace Oracle-Provided Support with Third-Party Support
While software support is a mandatory expense, it should not put your IT budget in a hole. It's critical to have 24/7 expert assistance to handle unplanned application issues, and that service should be fairly priced.
Oracle Retail Suite Third-Party Support
"Cut the Cord" from Oracle-Provided
A-Z Guide to
Hundreds of global enterprises in nearly every industry have now migrated away from Oracle-provided support to our third-party alternative because:
Oracle support fees rise each year by 2-4%, with no material benefits.
Oracle increasingly relies on a portal-based, self-service model rather than immediate, live assistance.
Oracle does not assist with customizations and integrations.
They are tired of the long delay for responses of P2 and P3 issues.
They feel forced into unjustifiable upgrades or unready cloud products.
Third-party support is especially beneficial for enterprises that run the Oracle Retail (Retek) Suite. Most Oracle Retail products of version 13.4 and earlier no longer qualify for Oracle Premier Support. They have now moved to Oracle's Sustaining Support, the most expensive type of support with the least value to offer to end-users (no new updates, certifications, security patches, fixes, or tax and regulatory updates).
A majority of our Oracle Retail customers come to Spinnaker Support because they recognize Oracle Sustaining Support for the raw deal that it is. While Oracle focuses on selling more software and moving you to the latest release or Oracle Retail Cloud Service, Spinnaker Support is intensely focused on delivering high-quality, individualized customer service for your current Oracle Retail products. We call it "support that is actually supportive."

Q: How to define Matrix/Link/Cross Table joins in BreezeJS Metadata? I'm trying to get breeze working with hand generated Metadata, but I can't seem to find documentation covering navigation properties through matrix tables.
the data model is:
Organization
PK:OrganizationID

User
PK:UserID

The table that joins them is:
User_Organization
PK:UserOrganizationID
FK:OrganizationID
FK:UserID

When I retrieve an Organization I want it to have a property "users" which contains an array of User objects.
How do I define this and specify the matrix table in Breeze Metadata, seeing as User does not have an organizationID?
** update
My primary problem is that I'm linking Breeze to Sequelize, so I need to be able to manage this all through the metadata if possible. The first answer below from @Jeremy-Danyow solves the problem with client side code, but I'm looking for a way to present the final object graph to breeze as part of the metadata.

A: I think this question might be a duplicate of Many-to-many relations in Breeze.  There is useful information in the answer there as well as the comments on the answer.
That said, I want to propose a work-around for this part of your question:

When I retrieve an Organization I want it to have a property "users" which contains an array of User objects.

If you were to configure your metadata the supported way you could add a read-only "users" property to your organization entity like this:
function Organization() { }

Organization.prototype.users = function () {
    return this.userOrganizations().map(function(userOrganization) { return userOrganization.user() });

What led to Polk County, Texas man, Randy Joe Horn shooting dead his wife, their 15 month old daughter and the woman's parents before shooting self dead?
A Polk County, Texas man has allegedly shot dead his wife, the couple's 15 month old baby along with his wife's parents before fatally shooting himself in a suspected murder suicide.
Identified as the perpetrator was 54 year old husband, Randy Joe Horn,- with family members on social media identifying the victims as wife, Ashley Delaney Horn, 27, 15 month old toddler, Ranley Horn, Lynda Elliott Delaney, 72 and Carlos (Gene) Eugene Delaney, 74.
The fatalities were found dead of gunshot wounds on Monday at the Delaney ranch near Livingston, Texas, the Polk County Sheriff's Office told the Houston Chronicle.
Authorities said that Randy Horn was found dead inside the home with one other person. The other three victims were found dead outside of the home.
A sixth person, survived the shooting after a woman told authorities she was locked in her bedroom and heard 'popping' sounds and called her son, who in turn notified police.
Click 2 Houston, identified the woman in the bedroom as Ashley Horn's mother. She is not considered to be a suspect.
To date no arrests have been made, with authorities saying there were no outstanding suspects and no threat to the community. A motive for the murders has not been made public. While police have not confirmed that the case is a murder-suicide, family members confirmed via the dailymail that Randy Horn killed his four family members before turning the gun on himself.
Randy Horn and Ashley Horn, 27, have been married since 2017. The couple's daughter turned 1 in November. Ashley's parents, Lynda and Gene Delaney lived on the ranch in Polk County for several years. The shootings took place about 75 miles from Houston.
It is thought the shootings took place while Ashley was visiting her grandparents and mother when the shootings occurred.
A firearm was recovered at the scene. Police have not said what type of gun was used in the shootings.
While Randy Horn did not have a felony criminal record in Texas, according to Texas Department of Public Safety records- he was arrested several times, including in 1989 on a felony aggravated assault charge, according to those records.

A report via heavy cited court records showing wife, Ashley Horn filing for divorce from Randy Horn in Montgomery County, Texas, in October 2018. Both sides were represented pro se, and dropped the case without prejudice in November 2018. The couple lived together in Splendora, Texas, at the time, records show.
Social media posts revealed Randy and Ashley Horn getting married June 9, 2017. Ashley Delaney Horn gave birth to their daughter, Ranley Horn, on November 11, 2017.
Montgomery County court records revealed Randy and his first wife divorced in February 2017. Ashley had previously also been married- with neither partner previously bearing children.
Nevertheless despite the birth of the couple's daughter- fissures existed in the couple's relationship according to those who knew the couple.
Pictured, victims, Lynda and Gene Delaney with their granddaughter.
A regard of Randy Horn's Facebook page where he went by the name of Randy "Hurricane" Horn, revealed him to be an Indiana native. The about section revealed the alleged shooter owning and operating a youth boxing club, 'Texas Hard Hitters' in the Houston area for several years.
It remained unclear if the boxing outlet remained open.
Perhaps most disquieting was a recent post Randy Horn had posted on Facebook, on February 10 which hinted at the combustible chaos that was to come in the hours ahead.
He also posted a photo of a bloody floor about 1 a.m. on February 11 with the caption, 'And this is why i can't be out in the bars at night….blood on the floor!' The photo does appear to be from a bar or restaurant he often frequented.

Q: Windows Phone: How to retrieve the same photo from media library between application instances How do I retrieve the same photo from the media library between application instances? I launch the photo library for the user to select a photo via:
                        PhotoChooserTask myPhotoChooser = new PhotoChooserTask();
                        myPhotoChooser.ShowCamera = true;
                        myPhotoChooser.Show();
                        myPhotoChooser.Completed += new EventHandler<PhotoResult>(cameraCaptureTask_Completed);

and then in the Event handler, I retrieve the file name of the selected file like this:
    private void cameraCaptureTask_Completed(object sender, PhotoResult e)
    {
        if (e.TaskResult == TaskResult.OK)
        {
                         string imagePath = e.OriginalFileName.ToString();
         }
    }

I persist this information in isolated storage so that when a user launches the application again I can retrieve the path and display the image like this:
 private  BitmapImage ConvertUriToBitmap(string pathToImage)
    {
        StreamResourceInfo streamResInfo = null;
        Uri uri = new Uri(pathToImage, UriKind.Relative);

        streamResInfo = Application.GetResourceStream(uri); //This fails! StreamResInfo is null
        BitmapImage convertedBitmap = new BitmapImage();
        convertedBitmap.SetSource(streamResInfo.Stream);
        return convertedBitmap;
    }

However, this doesn't seem to work as the photo path from the photo chooser is some sort of guid in the form: "\Applications\Data\02E58193-119F-42E2-AD85-C24247BE2AB0\Data\PlatformData\PhotoChooser-4edd185d-d934-4dac-8a34-758cac09d338.jpg"
Application.GetResourceStream(uri) is null whenenever I switch out of the application or move between pages.  Is there a better way to do this?
How do I retrieve the same path everytime so that when I tombstone or kill the app, i can retireve the file and display it? Or is there a different /more efficient way of doing it.

A: I found the answer in the documentation: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg680264%28v=pandp.11%29.aspx
Basically, there is a bug in the photo chooser which returns a temporary path. Microsofts recommendation is to copy the picture to isolated storage if you want to use it between app instances.

A: Application.GetResourceStream will return null for that path because the GetResourceStream method is looking for a resource within the application itself, not from the device.
To re-load the same image on resume from tombstoning simply persist the OriginalFileName property, and then use that to create a BitmapImage as follows:
string path = /* Load the saved OriginalFileName */;
var bitmap = new BitmapImage(new Uri(path, UriKind.Absolute));
myImageControl.Source = bitmap;
NOTE: The OriginalFileName property is already a string, so you don't need to call .ToString() on it.

Why confidence in ESG returns keeps on growing
@James_BG
New reports P reveal investors are turning to ESG products in search of 'improved long-term returns', but hurdles remain as the trend continues its march into the mainstream
The myth that investing in companies with strong environmental credentials means foregoing attractive returns was dealt a dual blow today, after two new reports revealed growing confidence across the investment community that assets boasting impressive environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance are delivering strong financial returns.
BNP Paribas Securities Services today published the results of a new survey of nearly 350 asset owners and managers, detailing their attitudes towards ESG issues and the maturity of their ESG strategies.
It found consideration of ESG factors is increasingly embedded within asset owners and managers' activities, as more firms recognise the attractive returns and improved risk management a strong ESG performance can deliver.
The poll found 75 per cent of asset owners and 62 per cent of asset managers hold more than a quarter of their investments in funds incorporating ESG - a sharp increase on the 48 per cent of owners and 53 per cent of managers who targeted more than a quarter of their investments at ESG products when the survey was last undertaken in 2017.
Significantly, 52 per cent of respondents now rank 'improved long-term returns' in their top three reasons for ESG investment, while 60 per cent of all respondents expect their ESG portfolios to outperform the wider market over the next five years.
The survey also revealed a significant number of investors are taking a holistic and wide-ranging approach to ESG engagement. For example, nearly two thirds said their investment framework was now aligned with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), while nearly a quarter state that ESG capability is embedded across their entire organisation.
Speaking at a roundtable event this morning to launch the new report, Florence Fontan, head of asset owners at BNP Paribas Securities Services, said there had been an encouraging step change in investor engagement with ESG issues.
"In 2017 there was a lot of intention, but not as much action," she said. "Just two years on and the survey shows a big acceleration. There's a lot of action. A 27 percentage point in just two years in the number of investors with more than 25 per cent of their assets in funds that have ESG elements is significant."
She added that there was now a "strong conviction" amongst many investors that ESG contributes to sustainable financial performance.
The survey results come on the same day as ratings agency giant S&P published a new report entitled The ESG Advantage: Exploring Links To Corporate Financial Performance. It concludes that research into the links between ESG and financial performance remains relatively immature, but there is increased investor interest in ESG funds and products and growing confidence they deliver attractive returns.
The report notes that assets invested according to ESG-related strategies hit $30tr in 2018 and predicts that "mounting awareness of ESG issues, investor demand for ESG products, regulations around improved disclosure, and momentum generated by investor commitments to the UN's Principles for Responsible Investment will contribute to the growth of ESG-linked investments over the coming years".
"Some empirical data suggest ties between strong performance on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors and improved corporate financial performance and investment returns," the report states. "However, the findings are largely mixed, and relatively few studies have explored these dynamics outside the equity field."
But it also notes that "companies focusing on ESG issues have achieved reduced costs, improved worker productivity, mitigated risk potential, and created revenue-generating opportunities".
Both reports highlight that challenges remain for those asset owners and managers keen to step up their engagement with ESG investment.
Demand for green bonds is typically outstripping supply, while BNP Paribas' survey also reveals how a growing number of asset managers are having to recruit from outside of the traditional financial services sector to access the skills required to analyse ESG trends and performance.
In addition, the survey highlights how access to accurate and comparable ESG data remains a major challenge for many investors, especially when considering a company's social performance or supply chain impacts. Fully two thirds of respondents identified data as the biggest barrier to ESG integration in their organisation, up from 55 per cent two years ago.
A host of analyst houses and ratings firms have introduced new ESG services in recent years and the report notes how emerging AI, machine learning, and blockchain technologies promise to provide increasing levels of ESG data in the future. For example, a recent Harvard Business School study used data from fintech firm Truvalue Labs, which employs AI natural language processing to browse through the web on a real-time basis, automatically extracting ESG information on companies. According to the Harvard study, the combination of AI-generated ESG data with traditional ratings led to a 4-5 per cent increase in alpha annually.
Similarly, the new reports come in the same week as S&P Dow Jones Indices debuted its new S&P 500 ESG Index, hailing it as "an innovative index that is aligned with ESG selection guidelines and designed to closely replicate the risk and return profile of its most iconic benchmark".
Reid Steadman, global head of ESG indices at S&P Dow Jones Indices, said the new service was in response to growing investor demand. "An increasing number of investors require indices that are aligned not only with their investment goals but also their individual and institutional values," he said. "The S&P 500 ESG Index is constructed with both of these needs in mind. Unlike many ESG indices that preceded it - which were more thematic or narrower in their focus - the S&P 500 ESG Index is broader and developed to target the core of an investor's portfolio."
But despite growing engagement with ESG data and performance across mainstream investment markets, concerns remain over the quality and reliability of some of the data and methodologies used - concerns that are only amplified by the on-going inclusion of some highly polluting firms in some ESG funds and indices.
Charlotte Hormgard, senior manager at AP3, notes that "access to data" remains a challenge for the ESG sector. "There is lots of data," she is quoted as saying in the report. "The challenge is finding the right data in the right format and knowing how to use it."
There is also a broad agreement that a more standardised approach to reporting ESG data is required. "I believe data on sustainability is now viewed in a similar way to how financial data was treated around 75 years ago," Andreas Feiner, founding Partner at Arabesque, is quoted as saying in the report. "This has resulted in a situation where some companies avoid disclosing some information that would potentially show them in a negative light."
Frank Roden, head of asset managers for EMEA at BNP Paribas Securities Services, joked that it would not take 75 years for ESG investors to overcome the current data challenges given the learning curve established through financial reporting rules. Moreover, there are growing signs that regulators are seeking to standardise ESG reporting, as evidenced by the EU's wide-ranging Action Plan on Sustainable Finance and similar initiatives in Asia. But different reporting rules across different jurisdictions coupled with an explosion in 'big data' ESG services will create their own challenges for investors to navigate.
Meanwhile, pressure from investors looks set to intensify as concerns over climate risks escalate. Separately today a new report from consultancy giant Mercer argues that there is an urgent need for investors to step up their support for companies and projects that are compatible with the Paris Agreement's goal of keeping temperature increases below 2C or risk significantly worse returns as climate impacts intensify.
"A key conclusion is that investing for a 2C scenario is both an imperative and an opportunity," said Helga Birgden, global business leader for responsible investment at Mercer. "It's an imperative, since for nearly all asset classes, regions and timeframes, a 2C scenario leads to enhanced projected returns versus 3C or 4C and therefore a better outcome for investors. It's an opportunity, since although incumbent industries can suffer losses in a 2C scenario, there are many notable investment opportunities enabled in a low-carbon transition. The modelling shows that greater inclusion of sustainable assets into portfolios can enhance returns."
The evidence has never been clearer that investing in companies with strong ESG credentials offers both attractive returns and positive real world impacts. As Trevor Allen, sustainability research analyst at BNP Paribas, observed ESG investment will ultimately be a big determining factor over whether or not countries deliver on both the SDGs and the national climate action plans submitted under the Paris Agreement. Yet there are still plenty of hurdles to be cleared if ESG investment is to continue to accelerate its march into the mainstream.

In one of my previous post you can find out that you can pursue your claims through the courts for all flights that you made up to 2 years back. Now I have a great news for thousands of UK air travelers – you can claim your rights also for flights from up to 6 years ago thanks to James Dawson.
James Dawson is a British passenger whose flight from London to Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic with Thomson Airways was delayed by six hours with a reason of crew shortages caused by sickness. The reason is definitely classified as within the airline's control and since the 3-hours delay on arrival was triggered, Mr. Dawson was entitled to a financial compensation of EUR 600,- under the European law.
Such case would be clear enough but Thomson Airways argued that he should have made the claim within two years from the date of the flight arrival, as stated by the Montreal Convention, and rejected Dawson's claim. However, there is a provision in the Regulation EC No 261/2004 which states that the period should be determined also by the law of the country hearing the case. So Dawson pulled an ace out of his sleeve in the form of the Limitation Act 1980 which extends the statue of limitation for up to six years from the date of the flight arrival. Based on this argument the Court of Appeal ruled in favor of Mr. Dawson and thousands of other passengers that could claim their compensations too.
Did you know that only 10% of entitled passnegers claim their rights? And did you know that flights that are part of your package holiday are covered too?

What's The Cheaptest Way to Transfer Money to UK?
Did you know that it can make a difference in the cost of converting your home currency into pounds if you choose a broker instead of a high street bank. This saving applies to both regular overseas mortgage payments and larger single transactions. You save money because currency brokers tend to get the most competitive exchange rates and, unlike the high street banks, don't generally charge fees.

Bollywood Idol Shashi Kapoor Dies at 79
Longtime Bollywood actor and producer Shashi Kapoor died Monday at the age of 79.
Kapoor, who starred in over 150 films, passed away in a Mumbai hospital, after suffering from kidney disease for several years, his family said.
His funeral will be held Tuesday, his nephew, actor Randhir Kapoor told the Press Trust of India.
Kapoor is survived by his three children. His wife, British actress Jennifer Kendal, died in 1984.
A three-time winner of at India's National Film Awards, Kapoor was perhaps best known for his role opposite Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan in "Deewar" (The Wall, 1975) in which he said what is now one of Hindi cinema's most famous lines in a tense confrontation with Bachchan – "Mere paas Maa hai" (Mother is on my side).
Kapoor was also one of the first Indian actors to perform abroad, starring in Merchant Ivory Films such as "The Householder" (1963) and "Shakespeare Wallah" (1965).
Kapoor, a member of what is often called Bollywood's First Family, was the youngest son of Prithviraj Kapoor and brothers of Raj and Shammi Kapoor – who were also leading men in India's film industry.
Along with his late wife, Shashi Kapoor began Mumbai's iconic Prithvi Theatre, named after his father, which supports experimental and avant-garde theater. His daughter Sanjana now runs it.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his condolences to the family on Twitter Monday, writing that Kapoor's "brilliant acting will be remembered for generations to come".

Mortgage Tips, Uncategorized
Why smaller down payments can lead to better mortgage rates
It doesn't make much sense, but a skimpy down payment on a home might actually get you a better mortgage rate in today's market.
Blame the government subsidy known as mortgage default insurance, which ultimately makes it less risky to lend money to someone who has only 5% down compared to someone with 20%.
Consumers with less than 20% down must get mortgage default insurance in Canada if they are borrowing from a federally regulated bank. The cost is up to 2.75% of the mortgage amount upfront on a 25-year amortization but that fee comes with 100% backing from the federal government if the insurance is provided by Crown corporation Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.
It's already happening secondary lenders are now offering rates that are 10 to 15 basis points higher for a closed five-year mortgage for uninsured consumers.
The crackdown on mortgage insurance announced by Jim Flaherty, the federal Finance Minister, could exacerbate the situation. Mr. Flaherty, who mused to the Financial Post editorial board in May 2012 about getting CMHC out of the mortgage insurance business, has placed the agency under the authority of the country's banking regulator, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions.
Mr. Flaherty also put in new rules on bulk or portfolio insurance. The banks had been paying the insurance premium on low-ratio mortgages – loans with more than 20% down – because it was easier to securitize them.
However, Mr. Flaherty says those loans will no longer be allowed in the government's covered bond program.
"You are seeing an interesting phenomenon where if you go to get a mortgage today, you are oftentimes quoted a higher rate on a conventional mortgage. Presumably you have less risk because you have more equity."
It all depends on the lender. For now, the Big Six banks have kept consistent pricing between low-ratio and high-ratio mortgages.
Farhaneh Haque, director of mortgage advice and real estate-secured lending at Toronto-Dominion Bank, says competition among the Big Six banks is keeping rates down and stopping any of them from raising rates for conventional mortgages.
"When we can't securitize a deal, there is a different cost of funds but the bank continues to offer the same rate," said Ms. Haque, adding her bank did charge a premium for stated income deals, which usually means self-employed people, but removed the difference last week. The premium was 20 basis points.
"Looking at the competitive landscape, it was a disadvantage," she says. "We were aiming to target pricing that was specific and for the risk appetite for that deal itself. We didn't want one [deal] compensating for the other."
But the banks have bigger fish to fry than just your mortgage. Those with the larger equity position in their homes may be a costlier mortgage to fund, but they also could be a future line-of-credit customers. There's also the potential for other business such as RRSPs and TFSA, so losing a few basis points might make more sense in the long run.
Peter Routledge, an analyst at National Bank Financial, says he wouldn't want to be an investor in a bank that approached its business any other way, though he did acknowledge there is a cost to keeping those conventional mortgages. "It's in effect a subsidy," Mr. Routledge says.
While banks may be eating some of the costs for people who are not eligible for a subsidy, if they continue down that road they might not be able to match the rates some of the secondary lenders are able to offer with insured mortgages.
It doesn't sound like much, but the difference between, say, 3.14% and 3.29% on a $500,000 mortgage amortized over 25 years would be about $3,500 extra in interest on a five-year term.
It's true that those people getting the better rate pay a hefty fee up front in insurance premiums, but they also represent a greater risk to the taxpayer. Do they deserve a better rate?
