Josh Gordon is back. I'd give him a shot in daily leagues and if you need a hail mary to make the playoffs. Julio went nuts last week but faces a much tougher opponent. Davante Evans and Randall Cobb are must starts. I'd still give Jordy a look.
There don't seem to be a ton of great streaming options this week. Miami could be a surprise at home against Denver.
Greg Olsen will play this week but is he worst the risk? Hunter Henry is a must start and Ricky Seals-Jones has been too hot to sit.
It seems like there's something new every week at the quarterback position. This week the Garoppolo era begins with the 49ers. Eli Manning's time could be over for good in New York. Jameis Winston and Jay Cutler look good to go for week 13.
Jacksonville and Philly put up huge point last week. The Chargers put on a show and could be a solid play again this week. Carolina is fresh off a bye. The Steelers are a must start against Green Bay.

Q: How to write test class for apex trigger on opportunity I have created a trigger which calls a future class to make http callout to a third party url, everthing is working fine here but the test class is not covering the opportunity fields IsWon & IsClosed. What modification do I need in test class to make the code coverage at least 75 % for this trigger.
// Apex trigger
trigger oppTrigger on Opportunity (before update) {

String oppType = '';
for(Opportunity opp : Trigger.new){

if (opp.IsClosed == true){  // closed
  if (opp.IsWon == true){
    oppType = 'Won'; // closed-won
   }else{
    oppType = 'Lost'; // closed-lost
   }
} else { // open
       oppType = 'Open';
    }
  // call a method with @future annotation
   futureCls.srvcCallout(opp.id,opp.Amount,oppType);
 }
}

// future class for trigger with future method
global class futureCls {
@future(callout=true)
Public static void srvcCallout(String oppId, Decimal oppAmt, String oppType){

     // Create http request
     HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
     req.setMethod('POST');
     req.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json;charset=UTF-8');
     req.setEndpoint('https://www.testurl.com/salesforce/opp-change'+'?id='+oppId+'&amt='+oppAmt+'&stage='+oppType);

     // create web service
     Http http = new Http();
      try {
        // Execute web service call here
        HTTPResponse res = http.send(req);
        // Debug messages
        System.debug('RESPONSE:'+res.toString());
        System.debug('STATUS:'+res.getStatus());
        System.debug('STATUS_CODE:'+res.getStatusCode());
        System.debug('BODY:'+res.getBody());

        } catch(System.CalloutException e) {
             // Exception handler
             System.debug('Error connecting to Paperless..');
       }
     }
 }

// Test class for the trigger where I'm stuck:-
@isTest
private class futureCls_Test {

 private static testMethod void srvcCallout_Test() {

    Test.startTest();

    // Unit test to cover trigger update event
    Opportunity opp = new Opportunity(Name='test opp', StageName='stage', Probability = 95, CloseDate=system.today());
    insert opp;
    opp.Amount = 1000;
    opp.StageName = 'Closed/Won';
    update opp;

    // Assign some test values
    String oppId = '1sf2sfs2';
    Decimal oppAmt = 4433.43;
    String oppType = 'Won';

    // Unit test to cover future method
    futureCls.srvcCallout(oppId, oppAmt,oppType);

    // Unit test to cover http web service
    Test.setMock(HttpCalloutMock.class, new futureClsCalloutMock());
    Test.stopTest();

  }
}

A: Your test class will have to do the following to hit all of that trigger:
Note, this is just one way to do it, you could do it a few different ways

*

*Create a new opportunity

*Update the opportunity to some status that's "Open"

*Create a new opportunity

*Update the opportunity to Closed/Lost

*Create a new opportunity

*Update the opportunity to Closed/Won

If you asked me, a TestDataFactory function that created an opportunity and then updated it to a specified status would be helpful:
@isTest
public testOpportunityWithStatusChange(targetStatus){
    //do stuff here
};

You could then call that factory once for every status you wanted to check within your test class to cover the trigger.

The Mercedes-Benz W201 was the first compact executive car manufactured by German automotive manufacturer Mercedes-Benz. Introduced in 1982, it was positioned in the size category below the E-Class and marketed under variants of the Mercedes-Benz 190 nameplate.
The W201 featured innovative rear 5-link suspension, subsequently used in E and C class models, front and rear anti-roll bars, anti-dive and anti-squat geometry—as well as airbags, ABS brakes and seatbelt pretensioners.
The W201 enjoyed strong sales in Europe but fared poorly in the United States.[3] Series production ended on 13 April 1993 after the manufacture of approximately 1.8 million examples.[1] The 190 and its variants were succeeded in the compact executive car segment by the C-Class, a newly-created nameplate.

10.2.2 Workshop manuals
From January 1974 to January 1982, Mercedes spent over £600 million researching and developing the 190 and subsequently said it was 'massively over-engineered'. The first test mules were put into testing in 1978, with final styling being approved on March 6, 1979. The first prototypes based on that design were tested later that year, with pilot production beginning in February 1982, following engineering sign-off. It marked a new venture for Mercedes-Benz, finally giving it a new smaller model to compete with the likes of the Audi 80, BMW 3 Series and Saab 900, as well as the more expensive versions of the many medium-sized saloons and hatchbacks from mainstream brands.[4] The W201-based 190 was unveiled on December 8, 1982, being launched in Germany the very next day on December 9, 1982 and was sold in right-hand drive for the UK market from September 1983.[5]
1987 Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.3 (US)
Local red tape in Bremen (which produced commercial vehicles at the time) prevented Daimler-Benz from building the 190 there, so production was started in Sindelfingen at a capacity of just 140,000 units per year. Eventually after just the first year, Bremen was cleared for production of the 190, replacing its commercial vehicle lines, and there the 190 was built with the first running modifications since release.
The 190 E (E for Einspritzung, or Fuel Injection) model uses the Bosch KE-Jetronic Multi-Point Fuel Injection to meter fuel instead of the carburetor of 190 models. Thanks to their fuel injection system, 190 E models made more power and were more fuel efficient when compared to non-fuel injected 190 models.[6]
Petrol models[edit]
1985 Mercedes-Benz 190 E (Australia)
1985 Mercedes-Benz 190 E Interior
In 1982, the first available models were the 190 and 190 E. Each was fitted with an M102 1,997 cc (2.0 L) inline-4 engine. The 190 was fitted with an M102.921 engine producing 90 hp (67 kW; 91 PS) and the 190 E fitted with an M102.962 engine producing 122 hp (91 kW; 124 PS). In September 1983, the 190 E 2.3 (2,299 cc) was launched for the North American market only (although 190 E 2.3 was available for purchase in other countries later), fitted with a 113 hp (84 kW; 115 PS) M102.961 engine. This reduction in power was due to the emissions standards in the North American market at the time. The intake manifold, camshaft, and fuel injection system were refined in 1984, and the engine produced 122 hp (91 kW; 124 PS). The carbureted 190 was revised in 1984 as well, receiving a power increase to 105 hp (78 kW; 106 PS). 1984 also saw the arrival of the 2.3-16 "Cosworth" variant.
In 1985, the 190 E 2.3 now came fitted with the M102.985 engine, producing 130 hp (132 PS; 97 kW) until it was revised in 1987, now utilising the Bosch KE3-Jetronic Injection system, a different ignition system, and a higher compression ratio,[7] producing 136 hp (101 kW; 138 PS).
The Frankfurt International Motor Show in September 1985 also marked the arrival of the first 190 equipped with an Inline-six engine. Fitted with a M103.940 engine, the 190 E 2.6 had a maximum power output of 160 hp (119 kW; 162 PS) with a catalytic converter and 164 hp (122 kW; 166 PS) without it. In the North American market, the 190 E 2.6 was sold until 1993, the end of the W201's production run. From 1992–1993 the 2.6 was available as a special "Sportline" model, with an upgraded suspension and interior.[8] The 190 E 2.3 was sold until 1988, then went on a brief hiatus until it was sold again from 1991 until 1993.
Diesel models[edit]
Mercedes 190 D
The 190 D was available with three different engines. The 2.0 L inline-four engine was the base engine, and was never marketed in North America. A 2.2-liter version, with the same power as the 2.0 L, was introduced in September 1983. It was only available in model years 1984 and 1985, and only in the USA and Canada.[9] The 2.5 L inline-five engine was available in the late 80's and early 90's. The 2.5 L Turbo engine, sold in mainland Europe, but not the UK for many years, was available to American buyers only in 1987 and is now somewhat of a collectors item. The exterior of the 2.5 Turbo model is different from other models in that it has fender vents in the front passenger side fender to feed air to the turbocharger.
Limited editions[edit]
190 LE[edit]
For the UK and Irish market a special edition 190 was produced for the 1993 model year. The car was given the badge name 190LE, though on the rear boot lid it read 190 E (on the left hand side of the lock) and LE on the right hand side. Roughly 1,000 cars were produced and each one came with a large A3 sized certificate giving each car a unique number.
The 190 LE was available in three colours only; Azzuro Blue (blue/purple), Brilliant Silver and Rosso Red (Burgundy). The Azzuro blue coloured cars came with a grey checked cloth interior, the silver coloured cars with a black checked cloth interior and the Rosso Red coloured cars with a biscuit/cream checked cloth interior.
The LE was equipped with extra features that had been options on the other models and were only available with the 1.8 or 2.0-litre engine. Both the 1.8 and 2.0-litre models were equipped with a standard electric tilt and slide steel sunroof, four electric windows, electric aerial, 8-hole alloy wheels, Blaupunkt Verona CR43 Radio/cassette player and walnut wood trim (as opposed to Zebrano wood). The 2.0-litre version had in addition rear headrests and a front armrest. The LE was nearly £3,500 cheaper than a 1.8-litre model of identical specification, and £2,000 cheaper than a 2.0-litre model.
No further options could be added to LE cars from the factory - though some were equipped with other dealer-installed items.
180 E[edit]
1991 Mercedes-Benz 180 E Limited Edition (Australia)
In Australia, a limited run of 180 E Limited Edition cars could be purchased from October 1991 to March 1994.[10] This was essentially a 1.8-litre 190 E with a very basic trim.[10] At its launch, Mercedes-Benz were able to price the 180 E at A$45,450, compared to the 190 E at A$63,200. This was achieved by taking out equipment and also by offsetting import duties with the now discontinued policy of export credits gained through using Australian-made components for the whole Mercedes-Benz range, such as suspension springs and windscreen glass.[11] The 180 E deleted anti-lock brakes, power windows, climate control, electric seats, heated mirrors, cruise control and multi-speaker sound system; although power steering, air conditioning and central locking remained standard.[12]
190 2 LE[edit]
In 1993, for the U.S. market, 2 LE models were offered, limited to 1,400 units (700 190 E 2.3 LE and 700 190 E 2.6 LE). The 2.3 LE was only offered in Emerald Green while the 2.6 was only offered in black.
190 E 2.3-16 and 2.5-16 Cosworth[edit]
In the late 1970s, Mercedes competed in rallying with the big V8-powered Coupés of the R107 Series, mainly the light-weight Mercedes 450 SLC 5.0. Mercedes wished to take the 190 E rallying, and asked British engineering company Cosworth to develop an engine with 320 hp (239 kW; 324 PS) for the rally car. This project was known as project WAA by Cosworth.[13] During this time, the Audi Quattro with its all-wheel drive system and a turbocharged engine was launched, making the 2.3-16V appear outclassed. With a continued desire to compete in motorsports with the 190, and also now an engine to do it with, Mercedes turned to the Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft (DTM) (German Touring Car Championship) motor sport series instead. Cars racing in this championship, however, had to be based on a roadgoing model. Mercedes therefore had to put into series production a 190 fitted with a detuned version of the Cosworth engine. This high-performance model was known as the 190 E 2.3-16V, and debuted in September at the 1983 Frankfurt Motor Show, after its reputation had already been established. Three cars, only slightly cosmetically altered, had set three world records in August at the Nardo testing facility in Italy, recording a combined average speed of 154.06 mph (247.94 km/h) over the 50,000 km endurance test, and establishing twelve international endurance records.
A 190 E 2.3-16 competed as James May's car against a 1996 E36 BMW M3 and a 1989 Ford Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth in series fifteen of Top Gear, where it ultimately won the segment mainly due to its low initial cost of £2,990 against £3,990 and £4,999 respectively. During the challenges May (and an ADAC engineer) repeatedly confused reverse and first gear for comedy effect due to the dog-leg gearbox.
Engine[edit]
2.5-16 Cosworth
The Cosworth engine was based on the M102 four cylinder 2.3-litre 8-valve unit producing 136 hp (101 kW; 138 PS), already fitted to the 190 and E-Class. Cosworth developed the cylinder head.[14] It was made from light alloy using Coscast's unique casting process and brought with it dual overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder, meaning 16 valves total which were developed to be the "largest that could practically be fitted into the combustion chamber".[14]
In roadgoing trim, the 2.3 L 16-valve engine generated a maximum power output of 185 hp (138 kW) at 6,200 rpm and 174 lb⋅ft (236 N⋅m) at 4,500 rpm. The oversquare 95.50 x 80.25 mm bore and stroke dimensions ensured that the car could easily rev up to the 7,000 rpm redline.[15] Acceleration from 0–100 km/h (62 mph) was in less than eight seconds, and the top speed was 230 km/h (143 mph).[15]
US-Specification cars had a slightly reduced compression ratio (9.7:1 instead of 10.5:1), and were rated at 167 hp (125 kW; 169 PS) at 5,800 rpm and 162 lb⋅ft (220 N⋅m) at 4,750 rpm.
The road-going version of the engine was reconfigured with reduced inlet and exhaust port sizes, different camshaft profiles, no dry sump configuration and Bosch K-jetronic replacing the specialised Kugelfischer fuel injection. These changes helped bring power down to the required 185 bhp (138 kW) specification, but still resulted in a "remarkably flexible engine, with a very flat torque curve and a wide power band".[14] The heads for the engines were cast at Cosworth's Coscast foundry in Worcester and sent to Germany to be fitted to the rest of the engine, parts of which were different from the standard 2.3-litre engine including light pressed alloy pistons, and rings designed to withstand higher engine speeds, whilst con-rods, bearings and bearing caps were found to be strong enough as standard and left unaltered.[14]
16V AMG power pack[edit]
Available only to 2.5-16 and Evolution I models, optional AMG Power Pack increased power to 224 hp (167 kW; 227 PS) at 7,200 rpm and torque to 181 lb⋅ft (245 N⋅m) at 5,000 rpm, while pushing the top speed up to 250 km/h (155 mph). In their final incarnations, these engines produced up to 350 bhp (261 kW) in racing tune.[citation needed]
2.5 L model[edit]
1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16V (UK)
An enlarged 2.5 L engine replaced the 2.3 L in 1988. It offered double-row timing chains to fix the easily snapping single chains on early 2.3 engines, and increased peak output by 17 bhp (13 kW) with a slight increase in torque. For the European market, the car delivered up to 204 hp (152 kW; 207 PS) without a catalytic converter. Catalytic converter cars equipped with the 2.5-litre 16V engine generated a slightly reduced power output of 197 hp (147 kW; 200 PS). Mercedes were not keen to publicise the fact that their most capable saloon had an engine developed by a British company.[citation needed] However some cylinder heads from 2.5 L cars were found to be stamped with the Coscast logo indicating they were cast at Cosworth's foundry just like the 2.3 L cars.[citation needed] Cosworth also list the project code "WAB" for the development of the 2.5-16-valve head just as they do for the 2.3-16-valve head.[16]
16v differences[edit]
Due to their performance, the 16-valve cars were different from the other 190 models. The body kit on the 2.3-16 and 2.5-16 reduced the drag coefficient to 0.32, one of the lowest CD values on a four-door saloon of the time, whilst also reducing lift at speed. The steering ratio was quicker and the steering wheel smaller than that on other 190s, whilst the fuel tank was enlarged from 55 to 70 L. The Getrag 5-speed manual gearbox was unique to the 16-valve and featured a dog-leg change pattern, shifting down and left for first. The gearchange quality was, however, noted as "notchy, baulky",[15] criticisms which weren't levelled at the BMW M3 (E30) which shared the same gearbox. An oil cooler was fitted to ensure sufficient oil cooling for the inevitable track use many of these cars were destined for.
The strictly four-seater interior had standart sport size seats with strong side bolsters for front and rear passengers. Three extra dials - an oil temperature gauge, stopwatch and voltmeter - were included in the centre console. The 190 E 2.3-16 was available in only two colours, Blue-Black metallic (Pearl Black in the US), and Smoke Silver. The 2.5-16 added Almandine Red and Astral Silver.
All 2.3-16-valve 190 models are fitted with a Limited Slip Differential (LSD) as standard. They were also available with Mercedes' ASD system which was standard equipment on the 2.5-16v. The ASD is an electronically controlled, hydraulically locking differential which activates automatically when required. The electronic control allows varied amounts of differential lock from the standard 15% right up to 100%. It is not a traction control system however, and can only maximize traction rather than prevent wheel spin. Activation of the ASD system is indicated by an illuminating amber triangle in the speedometer.
The suspension on 16-valve models is modified from the standard 190 (W201). As well as being lower and stiffer, it has quicker dampers, larger anti-roll bars, harder bushings and hydraulic Self-levelling suspension (SLS) on the rear. This allows the rear ride height to remain constant even when the car is fully loaded.
At the inauguration of the new, shorter Nürburgring in 1984, a race with identical cars was held, with former and current F1 drivers at the wheel. A then unknown Ayrton Senna took first place.
Private Teams such as AMG later entered the 2.3-16 in touring cars races, especially the DTM. In the late 1980s, the 2.5-16 (never released in the United States) raced many times, against the similar BMW M3 and even the turbocharged Ford Sierra RS Cosworth.
Evolution models[edit]
Evolution I[edit]
190 E 2.5-16 Evolution I
With the debut of the BMW M3 Sport Evolution, the 190 E's direct competitor, it became obvious that the 2.5-16V model needed a boost in power in order to achieve better performance than its competitor. In March 1989, the 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution debuted at the Geneva Auto Show. The Evo I, as it came to be called, had a new rear spoiler and wider wheel arches. Many changes were made to under-the-skin components such as brakes and suspension. The car featured an adjustable suspension system allowing the ride height to be adjusted from an interior switch. All were intended to allow the Evolution cars to be even more effective around a track.
The Evo I's power output is similar to the 202 hp (151 kW; 205 PS) of the "regular" 2.5-16. However, it had a redesigned engine of similar capacity but most importantly, a shorter stroke and bigger bore which would allow for a higher rev limit and improved generation of power. Additional changes stretch to improved rotating mass, improved lubrication system along with improved cam timing.[17] Cosworth also list a project code "WAC" for the development of the short-stroke Evolution engine.[13][16]
Only 502 units of the Evolution model were produced for homologation in compliance with the DTM rules. For those customers desiring even more performance, a PowerPack option engineered by AMG was available for DM 18,000. The PowerPack option included improved camshafts, a larger diameter throttle body, more responsive ignition and fuel management system as well as improved intake and exhaust systems. The net result was an increase in power by 30 hp (22 kW; 30 PS) over the standard car bringing the total to 232 hp (173 kW; 235 PS).
Evolution II[edit]
Mercedes 190 E 2.5 16V Evolution II
Rear view showing the radical rear spoiler along with the rear window spoiler
In March 1990, at the Geneva Auto Show, the 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II was shown. With the success of the first Evolution model, this model's 502-unit production was already sold before it was unveiled.[citation needed] This car retailed in 1990 for DM 136,720.
The "Evo II" included the AMG PowerPack fitted to the same short-stroke 2,463 cc (2.5 L) inline-four engine as the Evolution, producing a maximum power output of 232 hp (235 PS; 173 kW) at 7,200 rpm and 245 N⋅m (181 lb⋅ft) of torque at 5,000 rpm, as well as a full SLS adjustable suspension allowing the ride height to be adjusted from an interior switch. An obvious modification to the Evolution II was the radical body kit (designed by Prof. Richard Eppler from the University of Stuttgart) with a large adjustable rear wing, rear window spoiler, and Evolution II 17-inch alloy wheels. The kit served an aerodynamic purpose—it was wind tunnel tested to reduce drag to 0.29, while at the same time increasing downforce. Period anecdotes tell of BMW research and development chief, Wolfgang Reitzle, saying "the laws of aerodynamics must be different between Munich and Stuttgart; if that rear wing works, we'll have to redesign our wind tunnel." The anecdote claims that BMW did redesign its windtunnel afterwards.[18]
500 examples were painted in "blauschwarz" blue/black metallic. But the last two, numbers 501 and 502 were painted in astral silver making them the rarest of the Evolution models.
The Evo II had the shortest production run of the 190 series models with production starting in 1990 and ending in 1991.

AMG models[edit]
AMG 1993 DTM competition car
AMG was not part of Mercedes-Benz when the 190 was first produced, but a separate racing and tuning company. As AMG had racing experience in the DTM, they were tuning all the factory petrol engines for the customers and 190 E was one of them. Engine tuning added 25 hp (19 kW; 25 PS) over the standard car. Along with that aerodynamic features were added to the cars such as rear spoilers and front splitters in order to improve high speed stability, alloy wheels and a leather interior.
190 E 3.2 AMG[edit]
The 190 E 3.2 AMG was the first model sold through AMG authorized re-seller with a Mercedes-Benz new car warranty. About 200 complete cars were made, in black or silver: they were very expensive (about DM 155,780). Besides 200 complete 190 E 3.2 AMG's, Mercedes-Benz sold AMG body kits and 3.2 L AMG engines separately, so there are 190's fitted with those features at the factory or retrofitted The 190 E 3.2 AMG straight-six 12-valve engines generated a maximum power output of 231 hp (172 kW; 234 PS), and enable the car to attain a top speed of 243 km/h (151 mph). [21] [22]
Mercedes 190 D BlueEFFICIENCY (2009)[edit]
The 190 D BlueEFFICIENCY is an experimental vehicle demonstrating the improvements made in Diesel engine technology over the last 20 years, in isolation from the equally profound changes in the safety and comfort of the car as a whole. It was based on a 1988 190 D 2.6 which was fitted with a Mercedes-Benz OM651 engine, rated at 204 PS (150 kW; 201 hp) and 500 N⋅m (369 lb⋅ft) at 1,600–1,800 rpm. The 190 D Blue EFFICIENCY accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.2 seconds, with fuel efficiency of 4.9 litres per 100 kilometres (NEDC). By comparison, the original car has the fuel efficiency of 7.3 litres per 100 kilometres. The 190 D BlueEFFICIENCY was also compared to C 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY, which has fuel efficiency of 5.1 litres per 100 kilometres via NEDC method, despite the modern C 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY being 385 kilograms heavier, 16 centimetres longer, and around 9 centimetres wider and higher than a 190.[23][24][25]

These are stunning stools, can be a great side table too. Truly eye-catching and beautiful design that can be used in any room in the house. Solid teak root inlaid with resin to accentuate the beauty of the wood.
Each is unique and so before shipping, we can communicate with you and send pictures to help you choose or decide what you like.


By 2011, two new versions of Bluetooth will emerge, according to Garner. Bluetooth 3 will introduce 802.11 for faster data transmission, and Bluetooth 4 will introduce a low-energy mode that will enable communication with peripherals and sensors and makes it a fit for industries such as health care. The Littman Electronic Stethoscope, pictured, relies on Bluetooth to transmit sounds in real time to a PC for further analysis.
By 2011, more than 85 percent of the handsets shipped globally are expected to include a browser. In mature markets, the mobile Web and Web adaptation tools will encourage the use of business-to-consumer (B2C) mobile apps, which Gartner says should be part of every enterprises B2C portfolio by 2012.
Widgets, installable Web applications that can run on a devices home screen, are simple to use, convenient and can offer a business a good, inexpensive first step toward assessing demand for an application. This Verizon Wireless widget shows the real-time view from a New York City traffic camera.
Web technologies will be "insufficiently mature" through 2012, says Garter, making tools that can "reduce the burden of delivering installable applications to several platforms" more attractive. Such tools include Flash, Silverlight and AIR, as well as multiplatform development tools such as Qt, Appcelerator and Java Micro Edition.
Application stores will become part of a broader ecosystem that includes services in the cloud and technical partnerships offering functionalities such as navigation, mapping, search and social networking, says Gartner. It also expects app stores to take on the past tasks of mobile device management tools. Pictured here is Nokias Ovi app store.
By the end of 2011, Gartner expects more than 75 percent of the devices shipped to mature markets to include GPS. Enterprises, using services such as Twitter, are expected to take advantage of consumer-aware apps. In January, Nokia began offering its Ovi Maps, which offers walking and driving directions, as well as landmark callouts, as a free download.
Multimegabit wireless broadband will grow through 2011, with 3.5G technologies increasing and leading the way to 4G LTE deployments, says Gartner. On March 25, Lenovo introduced the ThinkPad Edge 14 and 15 laptops with the option of a Qualcomm Gobi modem to access Sprints 4G network.
Touch screens are becoming the dominant user interface on large-screen handsets and are expected be included on 60 percent of mobile devices shipped to mature markets in 2011. The Palm Pre Plus, pictured here, features a 3.1-inch HVGA multitouch display.
The increasing quality of cellular broadband is expected to accelerate the use of M2M (machine-to-machine) applications such as for video surveillance, meter reading, vending and point-of-sale solutions. In 2009, Motorola introduced the H24 wireless modem, for 3.5G connectivity, to its M2M solutions portfolio.


Wire feed welding today covers 69% of all welding processes today, and the number is growing. Wire feed welding is a process that involves joining two or more metals or thermoplastics using extremely high temperatures produced by electric currents or an arc. It is performed by the use of a power tool; wire feed welder.


We are pleased to announce that this year we have our very own runner in April's Virgin Money London Marathon.
Andrew Agnew is a friend of CEM and is raising funds on our behalf.
He said: "I have seen first hand the amazing work that CEM do in my home church in Belfast. I have been involved for a number of years leading groups and have seen lives transformed through individuals meeting Jesus Christ. So it is an honour to be able to support the ministry through fundraising."
Thank you for helping us to help people love, live and tell the good news of Jesus.
As you will be aware, in 2019 Christianity Explored Ministries (CEM) are running a year-long matched funding campaign called To the Ends of the Earth. With this unique opportunity, every pound donated as a new or increased regular gift will be matched by some generous friends and given to our international work.
After an encouraging start to the campaign, we would reach our target if just 200 people gave £20 per month. To give you an idea of what £20 per month might achieve, the total matched amount of £300 (including Gift Aid) could provide eight East Asian churches with our materials in their local language.
Please note the matched funding will only apply to regular (eg monthly) gifts.

55 Years Paul Baloche is still single or Married, Who is he dating? Know about his Affairs
Ashmita Karki Tue Jun, 2017
In the world where marriages are as delicate as glass, it's rare to find couples sticking together. However, that doesn't mean it's not possible. The relationship of American music artist Paul Baloche and his wife Rita is a perfect example who have been married for 30 years.
Many might not know about Baloche's wife as he is quite famous for his amazing songs and works, but one thing to consider is his wife helped him write a lot of songs. It seems like having similar interest bonded the couple together.
The 55-year-old artist isn't dating anyone as he has always been faithful towards his wife. There are no tracks of Baloche's affair as well. So what is the secret reason behind the pair long lasting relationship? Let's find out:
Paul Baloche married to his wife, Rita
Baloche has been married to his wife since 1987. The couple dated for three years before exchanging their wedding vows. When Baloche met Rita, she was a single mother. When he married her, he adopted her 2-years-old. Later the pair had two more kids together.

During an interview, Baloche revealed that he never got alone time with his wife because of the children, but he doesn't regret it. Whenever he gets time, he tries to spend it as much with his family as he can.
A dream fulfilled! Since she was 16 she's had her eye on this prize. Bravo Chérie ?? We love you and are so proud of who you are!!! #Masters #French #NYU

Paul Baloche with wife Rita and daughter Cherie
He mentioned in the same interview about his skiing in Utah with his wife and recalled it as a joyful moment.
Paul Baloche and his kids' closeness
Baloche always busy with his ministry, music, and tours, it wasn't possible for him to take his wife Rita on the road with him. Therefore, he had planned a Jersey Shore vacation with his wife and kids once. But one of his friends made him realize that it wasn't a holiday for him, it was more like a family visit.
Thus, he decided to help his wife to keep up the home and gave much more priority to the kids by doing fun stuff with them.

However, he believes that he should have given more time to his wife by planning getaways with her. He says:
"I wish I'd been more intentional about that; it's so important. You don't have to do something as expensive as skiing; you can do an overnight somewhere at a decent hotel and get room service. Budget for that. It's worth it for your marriage."
A wonderful day of celebrating ????#grandkids #firstbirthday

Baloche's wife Rita appears to be a lady with great wisdom and grace. Despite being alone most of the time due to her husband's busy schedule, she raised the three kids, kept the home well and prevented her marriage from failing as well. We hope Baloche and his wife have happier days coming their way.

The prevention of cardiac diseases by monitoring the heart conditions via cardiac biomarker testing is the profound approach for obtaining rapid results for immediate diagnosing and treatment. Cardiac biomarkers are protein-based traceable substances used as an indicator of biologic state and used for diagnostic and prognostic purposes associated with heart. Cardiac biomarkers are used as risk stratification for various cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), which include myocardial infraction, congestive heart failure, acute coronary syndrome (ACS) among others. The cardiac biomarkers that are widely used as an integrated diagnostic approach for CVDs include CK-MB, troponin I and T, myoglobin, BNPs, IMA and few others. Cardiac biomarkers market has witnessed a greater demand over the past five to six years.
Ability of cardiac markers for accurate and rapid prediction of heart failure after the onset of chest pain has added boost to the market growth. In addition, promising features such as high accuracy, quick outcomes and economic pricing of cardiac point of care (POC) testing is driving the growth of cardiac biomarker market, globally. To keep the momentum of cardiac marker tests, the key manufacturers offers customized solutions. The commercial application of multi-menu options for cardiac testing using different combinations of cardiac biomarkers and target-oriented solutions are the key opportunities of the market. However, limited specificity in some cases and side effects such as skeletal muscle injury is restraining the growth cardiac biomarkers markets.
The Global cardiac biomarkers market is segmented based on type, application, location of testing and geography. Based on cardiac biomarker type, the market is segmented into Creatine Kinase (CK-MB), Troponins T and I, myoglobin, BNPs, IMA and others. Troponins I and T are the highest revenue-generating segment in the overall cardiac biomarker market due to its prodigious specificity and its ability to accurately detect the cardiac events of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS).
Based on application, the market is segmented into myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, Acute Coronary Syndrome, atherosclerosis and others. Myocardial infarction (MI) holds the highest market share in the global cardiac biomarker market followed by Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) due to the highest prevalence rate among cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The location of testing segment is classified as point of care testing and laboratory testing. Doctors and clinicians largely prefer point of care cardiac testing for quick monitoring patients with chest pain in an emergency care unit, therefore, accounting the fastest CAGR. However, laboratory testing is generating larger revenue in comparison to point of care testing.
Based on geography, the global cardiac biomarker market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and LAMEA. North America leads the global market, owing to the high demand for cardiac testing, high CVD prevalence rate and growing awareness towards cardiac diagnostics solutions. Asia-Pacific is growing at the fastest CAGR due to the modernization, increasing disposable incomes and rising affordability for the advanced cardiac treatments.


The first leg of the playoffs started with the so called "lopsided" #1 seed vs #8 seed. #1 seeded Ball So Hard has been dynamic the entire season, but they were missing their leading scorer in Adi Baybay. Needless to say, the core players were in uniform for BSH and they were ready to go. #8 Seeded SWAT has been influx for most of the season, up until the last 3-4 games of the season. Even with a few tough losses, SWAT showed that their talent and experience are much more valuable than their W/L Record would show!
The game started out in BSH's favor, with a few quick inside buckets. SWAT looked stuck in the mud as they tried to implement their game plan. Brandon Hoyem scored 8 first half points to pace the balanced BSH offense, while Gene and Rich Wolff would combine for 10 of SWAT's 14 first half points. The game was ideal for SWAT, but they would trail by 10 at the end of the first half.
The second half started like the first half ended, with BSH taking advantage of small holes in the SWAT defense. Devon Carney sliced through the defense for a few tough baskets, BSH started to assert their offensive aggressiveness at a turning point in the game. Swat would wake up with the official arrival of Chris Peerless! The oldest active veteran member of Vancouver Metro woke up and nearly took over the game! Chris had a few nice assists, followed by a series of hard drives to the basket! With SWAT on a roll, they would go on a 13-2 run to eventually take a small lead! The end of the game was a mad scramble to finish! BSH would get a few clutch buckets to give them a two possession lead with less than 2 minutes left in the game. With time running out, Gene Wolff was able to bank a three pointer inside of 30 seconds left. It would become a free throw game at this point. Alan Hogan was fouled and sent to the line with two free throws to give BSH a 3 point lead. Hogan has been known to shoot not just layups, but also shoot jumpers with his left and right hand! No one is really sure what hand is his dominant hand. Hogan would step to the line and knock down 2 solid left handed!!! The half court heave by Gene was no good, and BSH would escape the big time upset!
lack of depth in their lineup. Haides on the flipside was stacked with the usual suspects! Tough and resilient, Haides could have easily been in the top spot if it were not for a bad game or two.
The style for both teams is rough, rugged, but explosive. Sonic Boom was counting on having a significant height advantage with Big Stu Wallenstein in the lineup, but he could not make the game. Sonic Boom's Connor R would anchor the inside scoring, while Shamir Naik created havoc on both ends of the court with patented high energy slashing. The first half was filled with physical play, and opportunistic scoring opportunities. Haides would take a small lead into halftime, and it looked like it was anyone's game.
The second half would continue the perpetual tug of war, with a small twist. Gabe Gibbs would factor into the 2nd half for Sonic Boom, which opened the court up for David Ta and Nenad Lojpur. David had a solid first half with two made threes, but Nenad has continued his high percentage shooting from the outside! His 15 second half points helped Sonic Boom get a small lead late in the game. The action became almost frenetic as both teams scrambled on defense to secure the win. One of the last plays of the game was almost indescribable! It involved about 3-4 passes, a layup, a turnover on a long line drive pass, intercepted by Haides, thrown away by Haides, bad shot taken with time running out in the game, and a sudden substitution almost right after that bad shot. After the dust settled, Sonic Boom came out on top and moves on to the next round.
Avagapos has been itching to get into their first playoff game, in their first season in Vancouver Metro. They would face off against one of the most tenured teams in the league, and former final game participants in Flight. Flight has been decimated by injuries the last 4-5 seasons, but have always given everything they have in every game they play. This matchup was not a "David and Goliath" showdown, but it was definitely a "Hoot N' Nanny". That is slang for "a Donnybrook" (in basketball terms).
The first half was far from methodical. Each team went after each other on every play, and Flight looked to get the upper hand first. RJ Base knocked down three 3 pointers in the first half, and had a balanced scoring attack to keep Avagapos off balanced. Avagapos would stay within striking distance on the back of Andrew Peterson and Oscar Salvador scoring 20 of their teams 24 points!
Avagapos started the 2nd half with a small deficit, and it looked like the lights turned on for them at that point. With the loser relegated to the loser's bracket, Avagapos road their two scoring stars 44 point 2nd half! That was more than enough to pass up Flight, who had run out of gas after the adrenaline packs ran out midway through the 2nd half.
Vancouver Metro playoff ball is Fantastic! More often than not you will find games that may be a mismatch blowout on paper, but turn out to be a game of the night candidate. Van Rain was definitely the underdog in this contest, but no one told them that. Sofa King Good needed no introduction for this matchup! When you are a champ you are recognized. When you win 2 titles, you are immortal!
Van Rain made sure that SKG knew that the "fight was real"! Both teams with nip and tuck throughout the first half. It got a little chippy midway through the first half which led to a technical foul call on SKG's Kevin Rasmussen. The instant replay showed that Kevin was justified in his outburst, due to the opponents pulling a Grayson Allen on him (look him up, he plays for duke university right now). Even with SKG's fast start, they would only lead by 3 points at the half.
Even with both teams scoring evenly throughout the 2nd half, but SKG ran off with the game. It was a virtual shutout and shut down of the Van Rain offense. Almost surgical in the execution on offense and defense, led by Will Chaing who had all of his 16 points in the 2nd half.

Beer Drinkers Can Eventually Eat at SweetWater's New Restaurant
The brewery will transform its taproom into a restaurant and bar
by Beth McKibben May 21, 2018, 11:42am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Beer Drinkers Can Eventually Eat at SweetWater's New Restaurant
SweetWater Brewing Company is adding a restaurant to its brewery on Ottley Drive, What Now Atlanta reports. Renovations to the existing taproom include a kitchen, a lounge/pub area, extending the patio, and a new four-sided bar which opens to the courtyard. The brewery is unsure when the restaurant will open.
A representative for SweetWater tells Eater Atlanta they began talking about incorporating food into the taproom when Georgia's new liquor law went into effect September 1, 2017. The law now allows the sale of food at breweries and distilleries without a special event permit.
Governor Signs Booze Bill Into Law, Allowing Direct Sales at Breweries and Distilleries
SweetWater is still considering the type of food they plan to serve but says of the menu, "We've spent since September 1 [2017] asking customers what they'd want here, and are weighing our options. We'll continue to do that."
The brewery typically provides an on-site food truck when the taproom is open.
In December, SweetWater opened Last Cast Bar and Grill on Concourse B at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. That restaurant is operated by Concessions International. SweetWater's representative says Last Cast is a separate entity from the brewery's restaurant.

Q: Randomizing Coordinates through Arrays I have been trying to make a button teleport to a random place on screen (in one of the 9 given coordinates) when the button is clicked, that worked fine but then I have seen that a common result is that the button stays in place, I have then created a new array that does not include the current coordinates of the button, that worked in the aspect of the button not staying in the same place, however, now I experience a new  issue, for some unknwon reason - yes, I tried to debug - there are only 2 coordinates the button goes to, here is the code:
    gameBtnRX = gameBtn.getX(); //Getting the current X of the button
    gameBtnRY = gameBtn.getY(); //Getting the current Y of the button

    switch ((int) gameBtnRX) { //Setting the _randArgsX array values
        case 200: _randArgsX = new float[]{600, 1000}; break;
        case 600: _randArgsX = new float[]{200, 1000}; break;
        case 1000: _randArgsX = new float[]{200, 600}; break;
        default: _randArgsX = new float[]{200, 600, 1000}; break;
    }

    switch ((int) gameBtnRY) { //Setting the _randArgsY array values
        case 500: _randArgsY = new float[]{1000, 1500}; break;
        case 1000: _randArgsY = new float[]{500, 1500}; break;
        case 1500: _randArgsY = new float[]{500, 1000}; break;
        default: _randArgsY = new float[]{500, 1000, 1500}; break;
    }

    randGameBtnX = rand.nextInt(_randArgsX.length - 1); //Randomizing one of (max 3) the values in the array
    randGameBtnY = rand.nextInt(_randArgsY.length - 1); //And putting them as the X and Y of gameBtn
    gameBtnX = _randArgsX[randGameBtnX];
    gameBtnY = _randArgsY[randGameBtnY];
    gameBtn.setX(gameBtnX);
    gameBtn.setY(gameBtnY);

(The 200,600,100 are the possible X coordinates, and the 500,1000,15000 are the possible Y coordinates)

A: See Random.nextInt(int)

Returns a pseudorandom, uniformly distributed int value between 0 (inclusive) and the specified value (exclusive).

Therefore there is no need to minus one to the length of arrays.


You've decided that a Florida upscale retreat is something you want to regularly include in your future. You can envision what this place looks and feels like. What if there were a vacation setting designed to exceed your expectations? In Key Largo there's a magical place called Ocean Reef Club.
Surrounded on three sides by water, Ocean Reef Club sits adjacent to the only living coral reef in the United States. This nautical form of luxury means that members of Ocean Reef have access to the finest in yachting, fishing, sailing, scuba, and snorkeling experiences. This wealth of oceanfront access is only the beginning for those who've chosen to make Ocean Reef a part of their lives.
What makes Ocean Reef truly special is the club's commitment to service. A unique bond has formed between employees and members over the course of the past 60 years. Ocean Reef Club's tireless efforts toward making itself better is visually evident in the multi-million dollar facilities found throughout the club's 2,500 acres.
What's interesting is this member-owned club's penchant for reinvesting is topped only by a bottom line that reveals zero debt. Perhaps the secret to the Ocean Reef Club's long-standing success can be found in the 12 Promises witnessed by members and guests every day of the year.
When current President Paul Astbury first made the commitment to lead Ocean Reef Club back in 2002, he could see that the club's two golf courses, multitude of restaurants, tennis courts, airport runway, marina, and rich history were all assets with an upside. Astbury believed that by introducing two new additions to the club's home, villa, dock, and condo owners, a good thing would only get better.
When Astbury first gathered his management team together, something more than a mission statement emerged. The Ocean Reef staff, with many members having worked at the club for decades, began charting their future to align with something called The 12 Promises. This was more than a work ethic and customer service mantra. As the 12 Promises were carried out over time, this "treating people and your environment as you'd like to be treated" commitment would benefit not only members, but the employees as well.
The second difference-maker Astbury brought to Ocean Reef was Philippe Reynaud, a French-born chef known as one of the best culinary masters on the entire west coast. When Astbury and Reynauld began working at Ocean Reef, Reynaud grew the club's restaurant presence to include nine different facilities. In addition to expanding on Ocean Reef Club's delicious menu choices, each restaurant now feature entrees that offer guests healthy dining options which ultimately pay long-term wellness dividends.
The groundswell of positive feedback generated by Reynaud's healthy dining selections laid the foundation for club members investing more into their preventive and long-term health care needs. Yes, today's Ocean Reef Club includes leisure amenities like a fitness and Cultural Center, Art League, library, spa, and a shopping village, but in an era in which health care has gone painfully awry, the Ocean Reef Club members now enjoy a pinch yourself kind of medical attention.
A brand new Medical Center was built in 2007. Rather than the imposing environment typically found in a hospital or clinic, Ocean Reef patients are greeted by a building entrance framed by palm trees and a circular drive, as well as a welcoming two-story interior that has the feel of a well-polished executive home.
Not only can you receive on-site services such as bone marrow density scans, physical therapy, or hearing tests, your coverage extends well beyond this tony Key Largo community. Consider that Keith Young, the Medical Center CEO, will assist in doing the legwork needed to make arrangements for care back home or anywhere else in the U.S. By the way, most Ocean Reef Club members arrive for their Medical Center appointments via golf cart. This laid back mode of transportation is the Ocean Reef way.
A life of leisure on the beach isn't for everyone at Ocean Reef. If you're more the active type, then you'll love the choices offered by the Ocean Reef Club's braintrust and especially those led by fellow club members.
Hardly a day goes by that there isn't a golf or tennis tournament, fishing excursion, Broadway play, pottery class, art festival, or activities geared toward pleasing your children or grandchildren. In fact, if you wish to bond with the youngsters long-term, there is even an on-site Academy teaching pre-kindergarten through 8th grade.
Some of the Ocean Reef Club events have taken on a tradition all their own. Happenings like the Vintage Weekend, Reef Cup, Sailfish Classic, Lobstermania, and the Bag Room Open are can't miss times to reacquaint with friends and create new club memories.
If you've always desired a warm weather destination that's perfect for family, friends, or treasured client, then the Ocean Reef Club could be the South Florida answer to future warm weather passions. See why since 1945, Ocean Reef Club is the Florida Keys private club where there's no need to compromise on your home, villa, dock, or condo dream.

This illustration depicts Dr. George Parkman, a Boston physician, as he appeared when last seen on the 23rd of November, 1849. It is from the Trial of Professor John W. Webster, for the Murder of Doctor George Parkman. Reported Exclusively for the N.Y. Daily Globe. New York: Stringer & Townsend, 1850. The image is online via Maryland State Archives.
The evidence must establish the corpus delicti,
as it is termed, or the offence committed as charged
Lemuel Shaw
Webster Trial Judge
It was George Parkman's protruding jaw that did in John Webster. The jaw, plus an unusual set of false teeth made specially to fit it.
Both men were faculty members at Harvard Medical College. Both socialized in the rarefied world of Boston's elite.
But ... George Parkman, medical doctor, was also a true "Boston Brahmin" with inherited money to fund his lifestyle. John Webster, chemist and mineralogist, lived from paycheck to paycheck.
As a college professor, he didn't have the needed funds to keep up the pretense.

Swoon Editions Raises £4M Series A Led By Octopus Investments. Because More Furniture.
Furniture remains a hot space for venture capital right now. The UK designer furniture startup Swoon Editions, which offers one deal a day to members who effectively pre-order artisan items before they've left the workshop floor, has raised a £4 million Series A led by Octopus Investments. Notably, Index Ventures also participated, while both VCs were previous backers when the company raised a £1.2 million seed round in early 2013 — a round that Index actually led.
Swoon Editions' closest competitor is probably Made.com, the designer furniture startup backed by PROfounders Capital and Level Equity. The two startups let customers purchase boutique designer furniture direct from producers, and in turn claim to eliminate the need to carry any stock, while passing on significant savings to customers. They do this by effectively taking pre-orders on items offered, before they are unnecessarily put into production.
Made.com says it does this on a 7 day rolling basis for the furniture items it lists on its site, whereas Swoon Editions operates a daily email to members (called "Insiders"), more akin to a daily deal site combined with the preordering aspect of crowdfunding.
Here's how Debbie Williamson, co-founder, explains Swoon's model: "Swoon Editions previews a limited edition design every day to a growing community of Insiders who have signed up for their daily launch email. Insiders provide us with real time sales feedback on a particular design before it goes into full production. We spend lots of time identifying the best manufacturers and have built an operation that creates prototype products to test demand very quickly, scaling production on only the most popular pieces."
Or, put another way, by creating a demand-based feedback loop, Swoon Editions shortens the supply chain.

HomeGamesAction GamesArtifact
Isolate orbs and shut down the Artifact core.
Artifact overview
In Artifact, your goal is to make your way through 40 levels of mayhem without getting destroyed, racking up as many points as possible on the way. Each level consists of a screen filled with a variety of different orbs. These orbs must be isolated by the player. Once 75% of the playing field has been isolated, the level ends, and the player moves on to the score and powerup allocation screen. Score is based on time left in level as well as the degree of isolation.
The player controls the dual-direction Welding Blaster that can be rotated to fire vertically or horizontally. When fired, a welding beam will slowly traverse the screen in 2 directions. Once both ends reach a wall, the playing field will be cut, isolating balls on each side of the beam. However, care must be taken not to hit the orbs, as they will create a feedback surge, damaging the Welding Blaster. Once the Welding Blaster reaches critical damage, it will leave the Artifact, and the game will be over.
For every level a number of new orbs will be added to the game. These can be of any type depending on the level. Early levels will not include any of the most challenging orbs and vice versa. Orbs carry over from every level. This means that as the game progresses, there will be more and more orbs present. To counter this, the player may use the Annihilator Shield to get rid of some of the orbs.

Q: Cumulative Sum When Order Was Placed in postgresql I have an orders table with datetime when an order was placed, and when it was completed:

orderid

I would like to have a new column that is the cumulative total (sum price) per user when the order was created:

orderid
userid
price
status
createdat
doneat
cumulative total when placed (per user)

1

8/12/22 06:56:23
100

The logic is sum the price for each user for all orders that were completed before the current row's created at date. For orderid=2, although it's the user's 2nd order, there are no orders that were completed before its createdat datetime of 2/21/21 05:27:29, so the cumulative total when placed is 0.
The same for orderid in [5,6,7]. For those orders and that userid, the only order that was completed before their createdat dates is order 4, so their cumulative total when placed is 100.
In PowerBI the logic is like this:
SUMX (
filter(
orders,
earlier orders.userid = orders.userid && orders.doneat < orders.createdat && order.status = 'completed'),
orders.price)

Would anyone have any hints of how to achieved this in postgresql?
I tried something like this and it didn't work.
select (case when o.doneat < o.createdat over (partition by o.userid, o.status order by o.createdat)
    then sum(o.price) over (partition by o.userid, o.status ORDER BY o.doneat asc ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING)
        end) as cumulativetotal_whenplaced
    from order o

Thank you

A: You can duplicate each row into:

*

*an "original" (which we'll decorate with a flag keep = true), that has an accounting value val = 0 (so far), and a time t = createdat;

*a "duplicate" (keep = false), that has the price to account for (if status is 'completed') as val and a time t = doneat.

Then it's just a matter of accounting for the right bits:
select orderid, userid, price, status, createdat, doneat, cumtot
from (
  select *, sum(val) over (partition by userid order by t, keep desc) as cumtot
  from (
    select *, createdat as t, 0 as val, true as keep from foo
    union all
    select *, doneat as t,
      case when status = 'completed' then price else 0 end as val,
      false as keep
    from foo
  ) as a
) as a
where keep
order by orderid;

Example: DB Fiddle.
Note for RedShift: the window expression above needs to be replaced by:
   ...
   select *, sum(val) over (
     partition by userid order by t, keep desc
     rows unbounded preceding) as cumtot
   ...

Result for your data:

orderid
userid
price
status
createdat
doneat
cumtot

Note: this type of accounting across time is actually robust to many corner-cases (various orders overlapping, some starting and finishing while others are still in process, etc.) It is the basis for a fast interval compaction algorithm that I should describe someday on SO.
Bonus: try to figure out why the partitioning window is ordered by t (fairly obvious) and also by keep desc (less obvious).
