Hewitt set to serve up his best at Open
by APN Sports Bureau
JUST a few weeks shy of his 33rd birthday, Aussie battler Lleyton Hewitt wants to wring everything he can out of his career before the weight of a lifetime of battles wears him down.
Today he returns to the arena he loves more than any other, ready to take on Italian Andreas Seppi on the centre court at the Australian Open.
Hewitt will equal the record of 18 appearances at the Open, held by Frenchman Fabrice Santoro, and after beating Roger Federer in the final of the Brisbane International earlier this month, said he would have no excuses against the 24th seed.
"I feel pretty good. As good as I could have hoped for," the South Australian said.
"There was a period there I had to battle injuries just to get out there on the court here as well.
"That's the pleasing thing and why I'm feeling mentally fresh and pretty good, because I did spend quite a bit of those chunks of those three or four years off the court."
While Hewitt says he feels good about his game, he faces a tough section of the draw.
If he manages to get through the first two rounds, he faces a potential third-round clash against Japan's Kei Nishikori.
The Aussie might fancy his chances of another upset there because he beat the No.17 seed in the semi-finals in Brisbane.
That could be the end of the road however, with top seed Rafael Nadal likely to be the fourth-round opponent.
If he misses out in the singles, Hewitt always has he doubles to fall back on after announcing he would partner Australia's Davis Cup captain, 41-year-old Pat Rafter, in the doubles.
The pair has received a wildcard and will take on American Eric Butorac and South Africa's Raven Klaasen in the first round later in the week.
Meanwhile, Nadal starts his campaign tonight against another Aussie, Bernard Tomic.
After a stunning year in 2013, Nadal is aiming to become the first male player in the open era - and only the third man in history - to win each of the four grand slams twice.
Australian legends Roy Emerson and Rod Laver are the only players to have won each Grand Slam on two or more occasions.
Six other Australians - Marinko Matosevic, Nick Kyrgios, Thanasi Kokkinakis, James Duckworth, Storm Sanders and Olivia Rogowska are in action today.
Matosevic will be bidding to win a first round match at a grand slam for the first time in 12 appearances when he takes on Nishikori first up on an outside court at the Open.
Krygios will play German Benjamin Becker, Duckworth meets Federer, Kokkinakis has drawn Dutchman Igor Sijsling, Sanders will take on Italy's Camila Giorgi and Rogowska faces Colombia's Mariana Duque-Marino.

Finn, from the League of the Healing Hand, has been separated from her comrades for the past five years. It was discovered that she was the missing heir to one of the powerful ruling families and whisked away to learn to rule. Unfortunately for all parties concerned, Finn the Cat has no interest in ruling. She was raised as a thief and is at the end of her rope, being locked in the castle, while her friends are having adventures. To make matters worse she does not get along with her mother or her cousin, and her father is always away, fighting of invaders.
Then she is thrown a lifeline. Her friend Jay, also of the League of the Healing Hand, has come with Dide and Enit. They have a message from the Righ. He is in desperate need of her services. Happy to escape the castle, Finn agrees. Unfortunately her cousin is sent along to keep her in line.
They meet up with Lachlan and she is given her top secret mission. She must journey into the forbidden lands of the Bright Soldiers and break into a prison where she must rescue a prophet. With his help they plan on inciting a rebellion against the Assembly and end the war between the two lands once and for all.
The series is starting to pick up again, thankfully. It still has not reached the greatness that was the first book, but it's moving in the right direction. At least in this book there was only one plot line to contend with, not like all the others. There were fewer characters, thankfully, so I managed to keep most of them straight and the new characters actually had personality. Unfortunately it was a bit predictable. But I hardly did any skimming.

Lessons from Trout's Wealth, Success & Fame
1. Nothing beats Passion
2. Create a name for yourself
Mike Trout is a professional baseball player who plays in Major League Baseball for the Los Angeles Angels as a centerfielder. Hailed as one of the best baseball players in the world, Mike Trout has consistently put up incredible performances in the league which has earned him several honours, records as well the respect and admiration of baseball fans. Right from an early age, Trout had shown great promise in baseball which he lived up to in the league. One of the youngest players to have achieved incredible feats in the MLB, Trout who is a versatile player prefers hitting low pitches in the strike zone.
His preference for low pitches which may have to do with his style of play has seen him achieve significant results. Despite being a talented player capable of producing top performance, which has earned him several individual laurels, Trout has not won a World Series, a title that every player in the MLB dreams of winning. As Trout chases World Series glory, fans are sure to see the star produce nothing short of exceptional performance.
With an emphasis on Mike Trout's wealth, we review his early life, career, salary, endorsements, luxury lifestyle, and takeaways from his wealth and success.
Mike Trout is the youngest of three children born to Jeff Trout and Debbie Trout. Trout was born in New Jersey, to a family who loved baseball. His father, Jeff, was a baseball player at the University of Delaware and went on to play in the MLB after he was picked in the 1983 MLB Draft by the Minnesota Twins in the fifth round. He proceeded to play baseball in the minor league before he came down with knee injuries which marked the end of his career. Coming from a family connected to baseball, Mike Trout came to love the game deeply.
He loved the game so much that he played and also followed the MLB. Young Trout was a staunch supporter of the Philadelphia Phillies and Trout who was a teenager when the Phillies won the 2008 World Series attended their parade. In order to develop his baseball prowess, young Trout began playing in the Cal Ripken Baseball league. At Millville Senior High School, Trout played baseball and he performed outstandingly. Aside from baseball, Trout played basketball and travel ball. Trout committed to East Carolina University.
Trout decided against playing college baseball and went on to enter the 2009 MLB Draft. He was selected by the Los Angeles Angels as the Draft's 25th overall pick. After signing a multi-year contract with the Angels, Trout went on to play in the Angels minor league system. His performance in the 2010 season earned him the Topps Minor League Player of the Year award. In 2011, following the injury of an Angel squad member, Trout was promoted to the Angels squad. He alternated between the Major league and minor league systems during the 2011 season. His performance during the season earned him the USA Today Minor League Player of the Year Award.
In 2012 Trout signed a one-year deal worth $482,500 with the Angels. That season, Trout's performance which was incredible earned him the American League Rookie of the year award. He also added a Fielding Bible Award, and Silver Slugger award to his win. In 2013 he signed another one-year $510,000 deal with the Angels. His performance that season made him a finalist for the AL MVP award. Ahead of the 2014 season, it was reported that Trout will be offered a six-year deal worth $150 million, but the star was offered a one-year deal worth $1 million. The deal was later upgraded to a six-year $144.5 million deal. That season, Trout won the AL MVP award and the All-star game MVP award.

By the 2015 season, Trout had won four successive Silver Slugger awards. He also won the Best Major League Baseball Player ESPY Award and finished second in the MVP race. In 2016, Trout produced another spectacular performance which earned him a second AL MVP award, and also the Best Major Leaguer award.
Trout's 2017 and 2018 seasons were good, but without the individual laurels which he often won. In 2019, Mike Trout signed a 12-year deal with the Angels worth $426 million. The contract ranks as the richest in North American sports history. The contract boasted Trouts' performance as he claimed his third AL MVP award, making him the second active player in the league to win three MVP awards.
Below are some of the best Mike Trout's career highlights.
3× AL MVP (2014, 2016, 2019)
AL Rookie of the Year (2012)
7× Silver Slugger Award (2012–2016, 2018, 2019)
2× AL Hank Aaron Award (2014, 2019)
AL RBI leader (2014)
AL stolen base leader (2012)
30–30 club (2012)
Mike Trout's Net worth is valued at $60 million in 2020. His $60 million fortune, a significant figure for a player of his age in the MLB, ranks as one of the richest for his age group in the MLB. Trout's 2019 $426 million contracts had an incredible impact on his net worth. Within the next few years, with earnings from his multi-million dollar contract coupled with endorsement earnings from his expanding endorsement portfolios, Trout's net worth could rise to as much as $100 million.
Aside from endorsement, Mike Trout may well follow the path of other athletes in establishing a solid business venture in preparation for life after retirement, which could have a solid impact on his net worth.

The star has earned about $3 million in endorsements. Despite the factors which bring down his marketability, Trout has secured deals with Nike, BodyArmor, Topps, and Rawlings.
Living among the super-rich in Los Angeles can be really expensive, but for a star like Mike Trout who earns millions annually, the LA glamorous lifestyle is well within his capacity.
Mike Trout lives in a $9.15 mansion in Newport Beach. The house which covers 9,000 square feet has six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a wine cellar, a wet bar, a sauna, a billion rooms, and a spa. The three-story mansion which overlooks the beautiful city and ocean has a wide swimming pool.

Mike Trout's success in baseball emanates from his intense passion for the sport. That passion moved him to pursue a career in the sport and also train vigorously to succeed.
Despite the fact that Trout's father was a baseball player who was fairly recognized in the baseball world, Trout strove to create a name for himself with his own success.
In 2020, Mike Trout's net worth is valued at $60 million. Trout's salary as of 2020 is valued at $36 million per year. The source of his wealth is majorly from his profession as a baseball player.

FireUps Helps Granite Shops Turn Website Visits into Paying Customers
Special Contributor
Granite shops waiting for their sales to catch fire can get some expert help in igniting customer interest with FireUps internet marketing services.
Paul Gallagher, owner of FireUps, has been guiding granite businesses in the development of high-return internet marketing strategies since 2009. "What I do is get them started with going directly after the consumer with a pay per click advertising budget and construct a website for them, or use one of my existing brands," he said.
Gallagher now represents about 25 clients all over the U.S. Many of their referrals are generated through his corporate website, granitemakeover.com, which provides customized information about each of his clients in their own local markets. "Based on the local IP address of the visitor to the website, the content of that website is changed to represent them in the local area," he said.
This is just the beginning, though. Gallagher's efforts don't stop with giving clients access to customers through granitemakeover.com.
"If they have a corporate website already, I say, 'Great, keep it, hang onto that," he said. "I put them on my granite makeover website in that market, and we drive all the customers there. We look at their corporate branding as a whole and possibly create other localized websites for them. We attack this on all fronts."
One of the best examples of the benefits of a thorough internet marketing campaign is the client that led Gallagher to discover he could fill service needs for the granite industry, which has been the basis of his business since.
The owner of a shop in New Hampshire approached Gallagher for help with building a website and then marketing his services on the internet. The business had great potential not yet being capitalized upon.
"He was on a major road, 26,000 people a day drove by his showroom, and he was doing two sales a week," Gallagher said.
The first hurdle was helping the client realize the need for a realistic marketing budget. "He came to me with a quote from a large (internet marketing) organization," Gallagher said. "They said $500. I said, 'It's not enough money– how many sales are you looking to generate?' I said, 'We need to go into market with a $1,500 budget, and we'll see what that does.'"
Although the client was unsure about committing that much money, Gallagher convinced him to undertake a trial venture. "I said give me $750 to start, we'll run it over two weeks and see how many people we can get in the showroom. So we did it."
That's when the client hit pay dirt. "In two weeks I went in to sit down and get the next half of my payment, and it was standing room only in his showroom," Gallagher said. "I couldn't even get his attention. Because he had the right sales infrastructure and the right business process, it was just perfect. That company is still with me today. Five years later, they are doing about 50-80 countertops a month with me as their only advertising."
Internet marketing is controllable. Clients can easily adjust their online presence as sales volumes increase. In the case of his first customer, Gallagher said one of the logistical challenges was adapting to success. "Within three months we had to back off on advertising because there were too many sales happening," he said. "It's a controllable marketing challenge. Drive sales volume up until you feel pain on the other side. That gives them an opportunity to correct operations in the back from a volume standpoint. Then we go back at it again and turn the volume back up."
The process begins with convincing customers why to take a chance on a participating shop. Competition based on pricing can be the initial lure. "It is a very competitive market," Gallagher said. "What I have found is that price point marketing can be a stepping stone for a company that is looking to take a piece of their local market. A lot of people are afraid of it. They feel like it is going to hurt their reputation or is going to negatively affect their business, but what happens is it allows them to get their phone ringing."
Increasing the volume of customers allows businesses to begin tweaking their operations to maximize their attractiveness to new customers. In turn, this lets the shops move away from having to squeeze their own bottom lines to get new prospects in the door. "It allows them the opportunity to talk to some people in the market and find out what is really going to make that sale happen," Gallagher said. "As we increase the traffic, they are able to lighten up on the price point marketing. This is a transition I've got to take these guys through."
One of Gallagher's clients has competitors whose prices are 25 percent lower but remains more than competitive despite the difference. "He's developed a brand," Gallagher said. "He's developing a reputation in the market and a consistency that is allowing him to keep going."
The clients who use FireUps' services provide enthusiastic testimonials about their effectiveness:
"Using FireUps is the best thing that happened to me; our business would not be the size it is today without Paul's talent. We would not give up our relationship with him, period. We have tried many marketing plans, none of them produced. Paul's system took a couple days to produce and it hasn't stopped yet."

"Granite Makeover is the driving force behind my consumer leads; it brings in at least 40 potential customers a month. From the first day I called Paul, three years ago, through today, he has always been genuinely interested and invested in the success of my business. He always actively listens to me and incorporates my ideas into the equation. Paul's wealth of knowledge about the natural stone industry and the inner workings of search engine optimization gives him the edge that no one else can offer. What that means, ultimately, is now you and your company have the edge over your competition."
— Lloyd, Virgina.
"I have been working with Paul from FireUps for a number of months now and have seen not only a dramatic increase in sales volume but more importantly a marketing program that is controllable. With Paul's program I can virtually, in real time, turn the lead volume up or down as my schedule allows. Paul is extremely responsive and takes the time to understand my individual shop so to target the message I want to get out. I would highly recommend anyone to work with him!" — Chris, New York
Gallagher has a background in graphic design and website development. His education in internet marketing began while working with a car loan company in the early part of the last decade. "My job was to purchase all the media to generate the leads, and it would go into our national distribution network of car dealerships," Gallagher said. "Through that, I got to manage some really large budgets and got an understanding of how to drive business on the internet."
This led to learning opportunities during other ventures. "I got into mobile marketing building landing pages for mobile devices and understanding the new mediums that were coming out," he said. "It was great working for Fortune 500 companies, Pepsi, Coca-Cola, lots of big brand names we were working with. I got bit by the internet marketing bug."
What makes FireUps different from other internet marketing firms is its focus on individual clients. "What I offer that my competitors don't is a direct marketing channel," Gallagher said. "The customer is exposed to the information about what their business provides in quality and services."
One website that Gallagher considers a competitor makes its own clients fight for customers in their local markets. "What they do is provide the consumer with a sort of one-stop shop for project needs," he said. "When visitors to the website fill out that form, they don't know anything about who they are choosing from. Then it goes to four people in the local market that are interested in paying for that person's customer information. They all compete for that business, trying to get that first appointment. The leads I generate are typically more quality."
FireUps is committed to not undercutting its own clients, Gallagher said. "Based on market size and potential sales opportunities and dollar commitment level, I provide them with an exclusive relationship," he said. "They are able to feel confident that whatever they share with me is not going into the hands of their local competition."
Clients that meet Gallagher's minimum criteria get exclusive access to FireUps services in their local markets. "I will not work with anybody else in that market," he said. "What's important is the relationships that I build with these fabricators. I share a lot with them as well to help them grow their business. The exclusivity element is important."
FireUps is promoted through the classified ads in the Slippery Rock Gazette. "It's been very useful," Gallagher said. "It's brought me very good quality contacts and people who are looking for this service. I'm very pleased with how its worked for me."

Guilty Gear: Strive Reveals Millia And Zato Gameplay And We Can't Seem To Look Away - Noisy Pixel
Guilty Gear: Strive Reveals Millia and Zato Gameplay and We Can't Seem to Look Away
Arc System Works launched a new trailer introducing a new character for Guilty Gear: Strive, coming to PlayStation 4 in 2021.
The trailer highlights new gameplay from a match between Millia and Zato and it looks awesome. Thankfully for fans of both characters, the publisher decided to highlight both characters winning a match. The trailer also gives players a preview of some of the more advanced combos.
Guilty Gear was initially released in 1998 as a 2D fighting game for hardcore fans of the genre. The series continued this approach in its design as well as excelling in creating a pretty metal and upbeat soundtrack for every title.
Currently, the newest title in the series was released in 2017 as Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2, which introduced two new playable characters and added a rebalancing update to the rest of the roster. Additionally, the updated game also released on PC and console simultaneously, which was a first for the series.
In case you missed it, the newest characters to be added to the game were Chipp and Potemkin and Millia Rage and Zato=1. Players can also check out Faust gameplay.
You can watch the new gameplay trailer showing the fight with Millia and Zato below:

McMorris Rodgers Slams Woke Hypocrites for Sponsoring Beijing Olympics
@itsspencerbrown
Source: Screenshot via Twitter
With less than one month before the Winter Olympics in Beijing get underway, Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) is demanding answers from U.S. companies who are sponsoring the Games at the benefit of the Chinese Communist Party — both financially and by lending credibility and legitimacy to the genocidal regime.
In an exclusive Fox News interview on Thursday, Rodgers spoke about her letter and what's at stake for American companies — and foreign companies that profit from American consumers — when they turn a blind eye to CCP atrocities.
What will it take for U.S. companies—and companies that rely on American consumers—to stand up to the CCP?
If it isn't human rights abuses, silencing & disappearing citizens, surveillance, slave labor, genocide—what is their redline?
Or is it only about their bottom line? pic.twitter.com/KMyO8bmlxW
— CathyMcMorrisRodgers (@cathymcmorris) January 13, 2022
"We are appealing to these American companies, to companies that depend upon American consumers, to defend human rights," Rodgers said. "In this letter we ask the question: Where is the red line? If it's not human rights, if it's not slave labor, silencing and disappearing citizens, genocide — where's that red line? Or is it really about their bottom line? We're calling upon them to defend human values and our integrity and to take action to stand up to the Chinese Communist Party," she added.
"At the same time, many of these companies stood up, for example, in the United States against a state election law in the state of Georgia," noted Rodgers. "They were compelled to stand up and say that that election law in Georgia shouldn't be in place — and even pull out of Georgia, pull out of Atlanta for example — and yet they're staying silent on China," Rodgers emphasized of the woke corporations' hypocrisy.
Among the companies listed as "Worldwide Olympic Partners" on the Beijing Games' website are Airbnb, Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble, Intel, and Visa.
Airbnb was a signatory to a woke letter that vaguely declared support for "democracy," but was a response to election integrity measures implemented in Georgia and considered in other states. The letter read, in part, "We should all feel a responsibility to defend the right to vote and to oppose any discriminatory legislation or measures that restrict or prevent any eligible voter from having an equal and fair opportunity to cast a ballot." Yet when Chinese citizens and religious minorities are subjected to at best an utter lack of God-given freedoms and at worst outright genocide, Airbnb has no problem being a leading sponsor of the Beijing Olympics.
Atlanta-based Coca-Cola took it upon itself to issue an oppositional statement after Georgia's voting law passed. "We want to be crystal clear and state unambiguously that we are disappointed in the outcome of the Georgia voting legislation," it stated. "We all have a duty to protect everyone's right to vote, and we will continue to stand up for what is right in Georgia and across the U.S." Like Airbnb, Coca-Cola apparently sees no issue with CCP evils, but blasted out a statement over a Georgia law to minimize cheating in the state's elections.
Procter & Gamble also issued a bland but thinly veiled statement against election integrity measures under the guise of emphasizing the importance of the right to vote, something Georgia's law only makes more sacrosanct by limiting opportunities for fraud that minimizes that right.
Even for companies who didn't rush to their PR flacks to virtue signal their opposition to election security measures, their support and validation of China and its ruling communist party during the Beijing Olympics is aiding and abetting their schemes. It all comes down to money, and the massive consumer economy within China, at least among those who aren't in slave labor or internment camps. It's the same motivation that made the NBA and Nike bow to CCP pressure, and it seems to be the same motivation for these companies to enjoy marketing their goods and services in front of Chinese consumers.
"At what point are they going to defend human rights?" Rodgers asked of Olympic sponsors. "At what point are they going to stand up to the Chinese Communist Party?"
It's not just Rodgers looking for answers about these companies' hypocrisy, either. Human Rights Watch, not known as a conservative outfit, previously sent letters to Beijing Olympics' sponsors questioning the human rights risk of their involvement. In addition to the top sponsors, HRW also asked NBC, the official broadcast partner of the Beijing Games, about its role in the games given licensing the games to NBC amounts to some 40 percent of the International Olympic Committee's total income from the 2022 Winter Games.

L-type (CaV1), voltage-gated Ca2+ channels are plasma membrane protein complexes which allow the passage of Ca2+ ions into cells following depolarization of the membrane potential. L-type channels are widely expressed in cardiac and smooth muscle where they control contraction and therefore were recognized as a therapeutic target for cardiovascular diseases1,2.
Isradipine is a dihydropyridine that acts as a L-type, voltage-gated Ca2+ channel blocker and is used in the clinic to treat hypertension3,4. Isradipine inhibits L-type channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes with IC50 = 0.2 µM at a holding potential of -80 mV and the inhibition is state dependent and increases with reduced membrane hyperpolarization4. Slow excitatory synaptic currents in dopaminergic neurons in slices of rat substantia nigra pars compacta and ventral tegmental area, which were evoked by a train of focally delivered electrical stimuli, were depressed by isradipine (30 nM-100 µM) in a concentration-dependent and reversible manner5. In addition, isradipine, was shown recently to be a putative effective treatment for Parkinson's disease, by affecting particularly the excitability of certain CaV1.3 expressing dopaminergic neurons6. In a pancreatic cell line, insulin secretion triggered by 16.7 mM glucose, was completely abolished by 5 µM isradipine7.

Q: ip neigh show on android 13 device returns exitcode 1 I developed simple custom app to query some custom devices connected to my local hotspot on my mobile to check temperature, speed and so on. Till android 12 I used runtime.exec('ip neigh show') setting compileSdkVersion 29 , buildToolsVersion '29.0.3' , minSdkVersion 21 and targetSdkVersion 27 and it worked perfectly retrieving IP of connected devices.
Now I used an android 13 device and debugging on runtime.exec('ip neigh show') it returns ExitCode = 1 which means on android 13 devices there is strict restriction on /proc/net/arp file which is read from ip neigh show command I suppose.
Is there an alternative to query my own hotspot to retrieve connected device's IP with android 13+ devices?....
EDIT: for now the only thing I can retrieve on android 13 device is the IP of hotspot with:
wifiManager = (WifiManager) getActivity().getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
wifiInfo = wifiManager.getConnectionInfo();
ipAddress = Formatter.formatIpAddress( wifiInfo.getIpAddress() );

where I can read the IP of the device. Maybe is there a way to query that IP to retrieve connected devices IP without using ip neigh show?
EDIT 2 : after some investigation and trying this to check CONNECTIVITY_MANAGER with this code sample:
Network[] allNetworks = connectivityManager.getAllNetworks();
for (Network network: allNetworks) {
    NetworkInfo networkInfo = connectivityManager.getNetworkInfo(network);
    LinkProperties lp = connectivityManager.getLinkProperties(network);
    String id = lp.getInterfaceName();
    Log.d("IdInfo", "id: " + id);
}

I see only MOBILE[LTE] connectivity in debug but also hotspot should be a connectivity host I suppose... or not?

A review of RBC physiology is important to understand the pathophysiology of SCD. Pediatric RBCs possess normal hemoglobin concentrations between 9 and 18.5 g/dL (90-185 g/L or 5.6-11.5 mmol/L), depending on the age of the child.7 Adult RBCs contain 12 to 15.5 g/dL (120-155 g/L or 7.4-9.6 mmol/L) hemoglobin. The predominant form of hemoglobin is adult hemoglobin or HbA (96%). Other forms of hemoglobin include HbA2 and fetal hemoglobin (HbF). HbA2 makes up less than 1% of hemoglobin in newborns. In adults, HbA2 constitutes approximately 1.6% to 3.5%. Fetal hemoglobin (HbF) is present primarily in fetal RBCs (60-90%), whereas adult RBC's contain less than 1% HbF. HbF is the primary oxygen transport protein in the fetus. After birth, only a small proportion of red cell clones remain to produce HbF. The elasticity of young erythroid cells enables them to deform and squeeze through capillaries (Fig. 68-2). As RBCs age, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) increases, deformability decreases, and the cells are removed by the reticuloendothelial system. Impaired circulation, destruction of RBCs, and vascular stasis are three known problems that are primarily responsible for the clinical manifestations of SCD (Fig. 68-3).


Thank you for this abbrieviated and full poem by Auden. It touches the essence of the matter in such a solemnly beautiful way.
There isn't a way to make it okay. There isn't a nice neat box to put it in: "this explains it." There is no "political" solution. There is only: love another, or die.


I like to smoke fish using lapsang souchong or caravan tealeaves because of their smoky flavour, but you could use English breakfast tea or even untreated sawdust instead.
Mix scotch, whisky or water with sugar and salt. Rub over the flesh side of the fish and leave to stand for 10 minutes before smoking (or up to 2 hours in the fridge, flesh side down in the whisky mixture).
I am brazilian,I saw her recipes of Tea smoked salmon, I loved it. I have gone several times, with other fishes of skin. It`s wonderful! I will do in my Cristmas the pie of cream lemon and straberryes. Thanks for all recipes marvelous. kiss. Malu. sorry my litlle english!

Q: HRESULT: distinguish custom code from system one Similar question was asked before, but i haven't found some answers there.
As i understand, for making custom HRESULT codes i create an .mc file where i describe the codes, then compile it and get an .h file. But i can't get it how to prevent possible overlapping with the system ones.
Example:
LanguageNames=(English=0x409:MSG00409)
MessageId = 0x0
Severity = Success
Facility = Application
SymbolicName = CUSTOME_CODE
Language=English
Cusome message
.

produces
#define CUSTOME_CODE                     0x00000000L

which is actually the same with S_OK.
If i return CUSTOME_CODE from my method, a caller can't distinguish it from S_OK;
Wiki says HRESULT contains a bit for distinguishing Microsoft / User defined code properties, but i don't understand how to set it. Also MSDN says that the bit is just "reserved".
How do i make code which can't overlap the system ones?

A: A HRESULT, which describes an interface-specific return code, should contain the FACILTY_ITF facility code. Note however that return values between 0x0000 and 0x01FF are reserved for COM-defined FACILITY_ITF codes.
See this link for further details.

CMH Manufacturing
Hall tilt-pour casting machines transfer metal into a holding cup as a mold remains in its horizontal position; once the casting machine raises to a vertical position, the metal flows into the mold slowly, at a continuous rate.
Industrial research center furnishes tilt-pour machine to university foundry
FMT Staff | Jun 25, 2019
LIFT, the Detroit-based industrial research center, is providing a tilt-pour casting machine to Michigan Technological University, to be used in academic and research programs at MTU's Dept. of Materials Science and Engineering foundry. "LIFT's tilt-pour casting machine will enable our university to pursue industry-sponsored projects involving this technology, as well as help educate our students to an even greater degree," said Russ Stein, MTU research engineer.
Lightweight Innovations for Tomorrow, or LIFT, is a public-private partnership focused on developing and deploying of advanced lightweight metal manufacturing technologies, and implementing education and training initiatives. It coordinates academic and institutional research with likely and/or available industrial partners, with specific development targets. It also seeks to prepare current and future workers for new manufacturing methods.
Michigan Tech is a public research university in Houghton, MI. Along with being a LIFT member, the university is home to a metalcasting program certified by the Foundry Educational Foundation.
According to Stein, the Hall tilt-pouring machine is a CMH Manufacturing design that had been stored at LIFT's research center in Detroit since 2017. As the research center had no plan to install the machine, placing it at MTU to boost the university's MSE program was discussed during a visit to LIFT in the fall of 2018.
Stein explained that MTU will re-position some equipment in the MSE foundry this summer to make room for the tilt-pour machine. Tilt-pour casting will be incorporated into the casting curriculum, and the machine will be used for industry-sponsored projects in the MSE department.
Tilt-pour casting involves transferring metal into a holding cup while a mold remains in its horizontal position. With a preset cycle time, the casting machine raises to a vertical position, so the metal enters the mold at a slow, continuous rate.
Stein noted the machine would be used to pour various aluminum alloys that are the subject of research projects at MTU.
"While casting as a manufacturing process has been around for a long time, there is still innovation taking place, including the development of new alloys and casting methods," according to LIFT's CTO Hadrian Rori. "We are happy to provide this machine to MTU where it will be used to help expand its already outstanding MSE program."

sport, local-sport, Tasmanian Rugby Union, Devonport Bulls, Hobart Harlequins
The Devonport Bulls held off a late surge to secure a 38-31 win over Hobart Harlequins Red in round six of the Tasmanian Rugby Union competition in Burnie on Saturday. With the seven-point win, the Bulls won their fourth straight game and also handed Harlequins their first loss of the season. The Bulls started the game well, with Oliver Crawford and Tyrell Sharp scoring the first two tries. While Quins brought the game back within two points, courtesy of a penalty goal and a converted try, the Bulls added two more tries before the break. The first came when winger James Hourigan found his way over the line before being felled by a high tackle, which saw the referee award a penalty try and Hourigan was taken from the field injured. Crawford later went over for his second try to give them a 24-10 lead at the half time break.

The Devonport Bulls held off a late surge to secure a 38-31 win over Hobart Harlequins Red in round six of the Tasmanian Rugby Union competition in Burnie on Saturday.
With the seven-point win, the Bulls won their fourth straight game and also handed Harlequins their first loss of the season.
The Bulls started the game well, with Oliver Crawford and Tyrell Sharp scoring the first two tries.
While Quins brought the game back within two points, courtesy of a penalty goal and a converted try, the Bulls added two more tries before the break.
The first came when winger James Hourigan found his way over the line before being felled by a high tackle, which saw the referee award a penalty try and Hourigan was taken from the field injured.
Crawford later went over for his second try to give them a 24-10 lead at the half time break.
Quins were the first to score in the second half, but the Bulls responded well with converted tries to Brett Bentley and Luke Bryan giving them a handy 38-17 lead.

This essay develops a vital orientation revolving across the ideas of Funny Mountaineering Mountain Hiking T-Shirt, invention, and authority as a method of exploring Clinton's outstanding efficiency. An instance of this gadget is when King tells the viewers to "Return to Mississippi, return to Alabama, return to South Carolina, return to Georgia, return to Louisiana." Together with making the speech extra memorable and connecting a Funny Mountaineering Mountain Hiking T-Shirt of concepts, using isocolon is utilized by King as a method of boosting the audiences' spirits. For this paper, we'll discover this lens by way of "Love in Motion" and "Paul's Letter to American Christians." I'll present the effect of Medieval preaching, making King a really perfect candidate for this place. Due to scholarship, these sermons have survived, however, there's a lens that has not been explored the extensively-the effect of medieval rhetorical principle on his scholarship as a theologian. Whereas there are similarities within the endings of the 2 speeches, these similarities are inadequate to be thought of as outright plagiarism and are primarily based largely on the truth that each male quoted the opening verse of "America the Stunning" as a lead-in to their closing remarks.

The President invented the authority to deal with race by interanimating the black church and liberal traditions in American politics. On the Atlanta premiere of the film Gone with the Wind, Martin sang along with his church choir. The phrases – paraphrased from a sermon King had given in Atlanta – made the civil rights chief "appear to be a boastful twit," snorted poet Maya Angelou. Many say that he delivered this sermon prefer it was his final one-as if he has been totally conscious. A typical instance is "I've Been to the Mountaintop," which King delivered on the eve of his demise. "In that second," Crawford mentioned, "he had that textual content, however, he Thou Map Ingest A Satchel Of Richards Shirt it apart, and he delivered the 'Dream' speech extemporaneously.

Removing a Required Form Field?
Is it possible to make a required filed optional or remove a required form field entirely with the optimizely editor? I can hide or remove the fields but I'm unable to get it to actually work in practice since the page still requires content in that field when submitting.
I'm trying to test the telephone field in our checkout page. My assumption is that it will help conversion by making it optional or removing it entirely but I'd love to see the numbers. My experiment ID is 1478314146.
Re: Removing a Required Form Field?
It appears that your form validation is expecting a 10 digit value for this field before you can continue. Try adding an arbitrary value, then hide the field. Pasting the following line into your variation code should do the trick.
Yup. As the previous reply has stated you just need to populate it with something you know to be wrong.
If you make sure you make the value something that is easy to find in the database you can run a clean up once you have finished your testing.
Simple yet genius! I'll give it a shot.
@SlamMan - Let us know if it does the trick for you!
@eventinc - For this to work you would need to replace the dropdown with a hidden input and add a pre-set value for that field.
ok thx that worked for me. Anoterh question regarding this problem: How is it possible to SET a manditory field via optimizely (which was not a manditory field before).
@eventinc - That is a little more difficult. I guess it initially depends on how you do your current field validation.
You could simply add a piece of Jquery that checks for a form submit and intercept your current form validation with validation for the single field first.
I am not sure why you would want to 'add' validation to an existing form in a test but I am sure there is possibly someone here who can provide an efficient solution as it is not something I have tackled before.

It's a podcast. About Thimbleweed Park. It's the 56th one. You don't need to know anything more.
There is an "It" remake in the works. So from Krusty to Pennywise, how unlikeable can Ransom be?
I hate and fear clowns. I dont know whether it is theor resemblence to corpses (being pale white and all). Or maybe it is just because that clown from "IT" that made me fear clowns.
And never dress as a clown and hang around tunnels at night, just starring out in the dark. Some as***le did that once, I almost got a hear attack.
PS. Which do you fear most? Clowns or slugs? Slugs dressed as clowns?
Ah, so what we are seeing in the "Eyes" blog post's animation is a transition between 2nd and 3rd act. You know, the blink.
If it was Reyes, I guess he would be burbing then.
I want to believe. But i need to know where the missing podcast is.
I'm not sure whether the numbers reflect this but there's certainly more than one podcast that was recorded and never published.
It's not an issue because people shouldn't like Ransome!
But seriously though, it'll be interesting to see just how much of an ***hole he really is. Should be fun!
According to the roadmap, translations should start from October.
There is a rumor that there will be a 1-800-RANSOME hintline (I just started that rumor here).
If there would be such a hintline, would there be profanities, like "Just go to that #*@&% grate and *#€&$€ use the €%!"*€$* chainsaw with the *€%#€£$$*! line from the *€%#€"!$¢..."?
And if so, would the profanities be audible, or would those be beeped?
Please Ron, say to people that drawing LeChuck by injecting ink with needles in the side of their hairy bottoms is not the right way to say Thank You to you.
Obviously I was just kidding, that guy was kind.
I'm glad to hear David Fox, master of mazes :-p, agrees to a puzzle that solves the maze for you.
If I can say, when I wrote about the maze in Indy 3, I criticicized mostly the loss of orientation(probably due to lack of light). The puzzles in the maze where not bad (I played it years after). Infact I remember that in the fate of Atlantis I didn't find so bad the maze under Atlantis.
That's all. Bye ThimbleTeam read you soon.
Hi guys, I found on the internet the FM-Towns version of Indy 3 (and an excellent patch to translate it with the official italian translation that has been also optimized!!!).
Obviously I played it and in the catacombs the feel I had was different mostly thanks to the music! It accompanies you towards the right pathway, and its quality really substitutes the lack of view!! I completed my pathway in less than twenty minutes! (I had a way way way better sense of orientation and ability to read maps, now at my age).
FM-Towns music is simply astounding.
Listen to minute 5.00 of this video and tell me if you ever listened to such a quality, movie included. What a wonderful transcription!
I'm wondering how's it going the music for TWP.
Undoubtely, FM Towns reminds me the original Indiana Jones movie!
How could it not. This is the original irreformable instrumental score by John Williams - except for the last part.
A CD-ROM version from 1990. That's impressive! The FM Towns must therefore have been ahead of the times back then, because, to my knowledge, CD-ROM versions for the PC weren't published on a grand scale until 1993 (see DOTT and Rebel Assault), after the sales volume of CD-ROM drives had increased significantly. A few PC users were proud of their sound card, all the others only had their humble PC speaker. Even the C64 sounded better than an average PC.
Please elaborate on "I found on the internet"... What do you mean, and if that's different, what is the proper (legal) way to get/play the FM towns version.
The proper way is to acquire a second-hand copy e.g. via eBay, like he did. What did you think?
Btw. as far as I know the FM-Towns version is graphically exactly the same as the DOS VGA version and only sounds and music are different.
When it comes to mazes, David Fox is amazing.
That 'I'll make it an option' thing is slipping through our fingers.
How many options we have so far?
Welcome back. Guess there need to be an option to show, sort and hide all options.
I imagine a check box labeled "Big Whoop Options"... if checked, it appears a new page full with a lot of options!!
"Enjoy over 100 hours of gameplay in Optionsland, where you will have an option to choose from thousands of exciting options, and test their effect in build-in adventure".
Well, since Thimbleweed Park will be released on January 2017, during these months what anybody can play with?
If you like adventure games (of course you do!) or their new/plain version aka Visual Novel games, you can play with Ace Attorney 6, out in Europe on September.

We really enjoyed the performances by Bright Star. I have had comments from teachers as well as students and they are all positive. I got to watch both shows. The younger kids laughed and laughed. There was so much audience participation, which is awesome to keep the younger kids involved. The other show definitely had a different tone, but the kids were very attentive and involved. My son told his dad and sister all about it at dinner that night. Thank you for providing great theatre shows for kids. We look forward to next year.
We look forward to working with you and adding your venue to our ever-growing list of satisfied supporters.
