Contexte avant la course

Anthony Davidson laisse sa place à Stéphane Sarrazin sur la Toyota TS050 Hybrid , pour semble-t-il des raisons personnelles. Le Français rejoint Kazuki Nakajima et Sébastien Buemi, actuellement deuxième du classement pilote, avec 41 points de retard sur les pilotes Porsche.

Essais libres

Première séance, le jeudi de 12 h 00 à 13 h 30

Earl Bamber, en dernière partie de séance, réalise le meilleur temps à bord de la Porsche 919 Hybrid  en . Le Néo-Zélandais a tourné  plus vite que la Porsche , chrono réalisé par Nick Tandy. Du côté de chez Toyota, on retrouve la Toyota TS050 Hybrid  en troisième position, à 460 millièmes, tandis que la Toyota  est reléguée au-delà de la seconde.

En LMP2, Alex Lynn, a été le plus rapide d'entrée de jeu en plaçant l'Oreca 07  du G-Drive Racing en tête de la catégorie, en , en devançant de plus de 3 dixièmes l'Oreca 07  du TDS Racing et de plus de 6 dixièmes l'Alpine A470  du Signatech Alpine Matmut.

Stefan Mücke, en fin de séance, a établi le meilleur temps sur la Ford  du Chip Ganassi Team UK en confirmant ainsi la domination des deux Ford GT dans la catégorie GTE-Pro lors de cette séance. La Ferrari 488 GTE  termine à la troisième place pour cette séance d'essai libre.

Pour la catégorie LMGTE-Am, l'Aston Martin Vantage GTE domine la classe, devant les Porsche 911 RSR du Dempsey-Proton Racing et du Gulf Racing.

Du côté des LMP2, Bruno Senna réalise le meilleur chrono devant son compagnon d'équipe, Mathias Beche, au volant d'une Oreca 07.

En GTE-Pro, Aston Martin, Ford et Porsche compose le tiercé de tête de la catégorie.

Aston Martin Racing garde la tête du GTE-Am.

Troisième séance, le vendredi de 10 h à 11 h

Après avoir passé la journée de jeudi en recul par rapport aux Porsche 919 Hybrid, la Toyota TS050 Hybrid  du Toyota Gazoo Racing, aux mains de Sébastien Buemi, a établi la nouvelle référence absolue d'une LMP1 sur le tracé du Circuit des Amériques lors de la troisième et dernière séance d'essais libres.

Le temps de référence de la catégorie LMP2 a également été bien améliorée puisque Matthieu Vaxivière, au volant de l'Oreca 07  du TDS Racing, a tourné en 1 min 53 s 541. Une séance très disputée car l'équipe française a devancé de seulement 41 petits millièmes l'équipage de l'Oreca 07  du Jackie Chan DC Racing. L'Oreca 07  du CEFC Manor TRS Racing complète le podium pour cette dernière séance.

En LMGTE-Pro, Olivier Pla et Stefan Mücke ont dominé la séance aux mains de leur Ford GT . Les Ferrari 488 GTE occupent les deuxièmes et troisièmes marche du podium.

L'équipage Paul Dalla Lana, Pedro Lamy et Mathias Lauda sur l'Aston Martin Vantage GTE confirme en trustant de nouveau la meilleure place de la catégorie avec une bonne longueur d'avance. Les Ferrari 488 GTE  du Spirit Of Race et  du Clearwater Racing sont respectivement deuxième et troisième de la catégorie.

Qualifications

Les qualifications ont lieu entre 15 h 05 min et 15 h 55 min et sont scindées en deux séances. La première, qui a lieu entre 15 h 05 min et 15 h 25 min est réservée aux voitures des catégories LMGTE-Pro et LMGTE-Am ; la seconde, qui a lieu entre 15 h 35 min et 15 h 55 min est réservée aux catégories LMP1 et LMP2.

La séance de qualification fut animée de divers incidents de pilotage, roues des voitures en dehors des limites de la piste, qui eurent comme effet l'annulation des temps réalisé. Nick Tandy en a fait les frais dans sa première tentative mais il corrigea cela en signant un très bon tour dans les derniers instants de la séance en lui permettant, ainsi qu'à Neel Jani, de décrocher la pole position sur la Porsche 919 Hybrid . Cette même pole position était jusque la aux mains de la Porsche 919 Hybrid . Les Toyota TS050 Hybrid  et  n'ont jamais été en mesure de venir chercher la première ligne à la régulière.

Les annulations de temps ont également eu un impact sur la catégorie et ont la hiérarchie. l'Alpine A470  de l'équipe française Signatech Alpine Matmut sortie son épingle du jeu en s'adjugeant le meilleur temps. L'attrition de la seconde place fut extrêmement serrée et l'écurie suisse Vaillante Rebellion emporta la seconde place à l'aide de l'Oreca 07 . La  du Jackie Chan DC Racing clôture le podium. Il est a noter que l'Oreca 07 du CEFC Manor TRS Racing n'a pas de temps.

En LMGTE-Pro, le duel entamé entre Ford et Ferrari depuis les essais libres a continué. L'avantage prit par les Ford GT durant les essais libres a été perdu et l'équipage Davide Rigon/Sam Bird a coiffé la concurrence en hissant la Ferrari 488 GTE  de l'écurie AF Corse au sommet de la catégorie. Ils ont ainsi devancé les pilotes de la Ford GT  du Chip Ganassi Racing alors que l'Aston Martin Vantage  s'est positionnée en arbitre de ce duel.

En LMGTE-Am, l'Aston Martin Vantage GTE, dominatrice depuis le début du week-end, s'adjugea logiquement la pole position.

La course

Porsche LMP Team s'est offert un  doublé depuis le début de carrière de la 919 Hybrid en 2014. La marque allemande a décroché un  succès aux 6 Heures de COTA à l'issue d'une course disputée sous une température très chaude et terminée une nouvelle fois par des consignes d'équipe. Brendon Hartley, Earl Bamber et Timo Bernhard ont imposé la  pour  d'avance sur la  de Neel Jani, Nick Tandy et André Lotterer. On pourrait croire que cet infime écart résulte d'une lutte à couteaux tirés entre les deux 919 Hybrid mais la réalité est bien différente. Afin de s'assurer un maximum de points au championnat Pilotes, les positions se sont inversées à quatre tours du damier.

Les Toyota TS050 Hybrid ont bien donné le change durant la première partie de course en faisant le choix de doubler les relais avec les pneumatiques, contrairement à Porsche. Finalement, la  de Sébastien Buemi/Stéphane Sarrazin/Kazuki Nakajima a terminé à , la  de Kamui Kobayashi/Mike Conway/José María López à . Chez Toyota, on a opté pour des gommes différentes en début de course, ce qui a mis en retrait la , sans oublier une pénalité de  pour Kamui Kobayashi pour avoir causé un contact avec la .

Signatech Alpine Matmut n'a pas fait la dentelle pour aller chercher son premier succès de l'année en LMP2. Nicolas Lapierre, Gustavo Menezes et André Negrão ont réalisé une course parfaite, en dépit d'un arrêt dans les dernières minutes. Sous le damier, l'Alpine A470 a devancé les deux Oreca 07 du Vaillante Rebellion, la  devant la . On trouve ensuite les deux Oreca 07 du Jackie Chan DC Racing et l'Oreca 07 du CEFC Manor TRS Racing . TDS Racing, retardé par un stop & go d'une minute, et G-Drive Racing ferment la marche après des problèmes mécaniques, tout comme la seconde Oreca 07 du CEFC Manor TRS Racing qui, elle, a abandonné.

Du côté du GTE-Pro, James Calado et Alessandro Pier Guidi ont offert une deuxième victoire de la saison à la Ferrari 488 GTE/AF Corse  malgré une crevaison en fin de course. L'Italien a pu reprendre la piste pour terminer avec  d'avance sur la Porsche 911 RSR de Michael Christensen et Kévin Estre. Le podium est complété par la Ferrari 488 GTE/AF Corse de Davide Rigon/Sam Bird. Les Ferrari se sont bien bagarrées en piste en s'échangeant les positions à plusieurs reprises, bien loin des consignes d'équipe. Les deux Aston Martin Vantage GTE suivent au classement, devant la Porsche 911 RSR de Frédéric Makowiecki/Richard Lietz qui a écopé de  de pénalité pour avoir ravitaillé en carburant en  au lieu des  réglementaires depuis ce meeting d'Austin. Une course à oublier pour les Ford GT. Sur la , Andy Priaulx a été heurté dès le premier tour. Andy Priaulx/Harry Tincknell ont fait le choix des pneus durs avant de passer aux soft. La  de Olivier Pla/Stefan Mücke a été ralentie par une pénalité.

En GTE-Am, la course avait plutôt mal débuté pour l'Aston Martin Vantage GTE de Paul Dalla Lana, Pedro Lamy et Mathias Lauda puisque la  a été touchée en piste par la Ferrari/Spirit of Race, mais c'est bien la  qui s'est imposée avec  d'avance sur la Ferrari 488 GTE/Clearwater Racing de Weng Sun Mok/Keita Sawa/Matt Griffin et 3 tours sur la Ferrari 488 GTE/Spirit of Race de Francesco Castellacci/Thomas Flohr/Miguel Molina. La Porsche 911 RSR/Gulf Racing UK a abandonné sur sortie de piste.

Après-course

Catégorie LMP1
Porsche et Toyota ont opté pour des stratégies pneumatiques différentes aux 6 Heures de COTA. Les deux Porsche 919 Hybrid et la Toyota TS050 Hybrid  sont parties en gommes 'Hard', contrairement à la Toyota  qui s'est élancée avec les nouveaux pneus Michelin 'Hard+', cette dernière disputant l'intégralité de la course avec ces nouvelles gommes qui font face aux exigences des courses FIA WEC hors d'Europe. Avec la température de la piste en augmentation, Porsche a décidé de passer aux pneus 'Hard+' dès la fin du premier relais, tandis que l'équipe nipponne faisait de même sur la voiture  après avoir complété deux relais sans changer de pneus. Les deux Porsche et le Toyota  ont alors continué avec des pneus 'Hard+' jusqu'au dernier relais, avant d'opter pour un retour aux pneus 'Hard' pour la dernière partie de la course.

Catégorie LMP2
Le Jackie Chan DC Racing quitte le Texas sans podium, et ce pour la deuxième fois de la saison. L'écurie chinoise a été pénalisée de trois amendes à COTA. Une de  pour un mécanicien qui avait la visière de son casque ouverte lors d'un ravitaillement, une de  pour un pilote de l'équipe qui n'a pas respecté la procédure durant l'hymne national et une de  pour l'équipage de la  qui est arrivé en retard à autographe session.

Les plans 2018 du Vaillante Rebellion ne sont pas encore connus. L'envie d'un retour en LM P1 est bien présente même si aucune décision n'a été prise. On devrait en savoir plus lors du prochain rendez-vous à Fuji.Bernard Niclot ne fait plus partie de l'effectif de la FIA en Championnat du Monde d'Endurance de la FIA. Le directeur technique de la FIA s'est notamment occupé de l'Equivalence de Technologie en LM P1, mais aussi de la réglementation 2020. A noter que Frédéric Bertrand, qui dirigeait la Commission Monoplace à la FIA, s'occupe désormais du FIA WEC, FIA WTCC et FIA Formula E.Comme l'année passée, Jackie Chan sera présent à Shanghai pour soutenir le Jackie Chan DC Racing. L'acteur, séduit par les 24 Heures du Mans, prépare un film sur la classique mancelle.

Along with the NYS Writer's Institute and the English Dept. at the University at Albany, the Jawbone Reading Series is sponsoring a visit by poet, painter, and art historian Allen Fisher.
He'll give a talk at the university in the afternoon, and a reading at the UAG Gallery later that evening.
Allen Fisher is a poet, painter, publisher, editor and art historian, lives in Hereford, Crewe and 'in transit', works at the Manchester Metropolitan University, Cheshire, where he is Head of Contemporary Arts. He has exhibited in many shows including London 2003, Hereford 1994 and York 1993. Examples are in the Tate, the Living Museum, Iceland and various private collections. His last four books were Place, Entanglement, Gravity and Singularity Stereo. The third and final volume of the poet's twenty-three year project Gravity as a consequence of shape will be published later this year by Salt Publishing under the title Leans.


Christmas in July MSQC Quilting Retreat!
The entire Sewing Center was decorated with a Christmas tree, lights and other decor as well to keep the retreaters in the spirit as they worked on their Christmas projects. Several Quilted Christmas Stockings were made (Click HERE to view this tutorial) as well as some Dresden Tree Wall Hangings (Click HERE to get the pattern). They're so cute and festive, and make wonderful gifts!!
We worked on all kinds of fun Christmas decor and gift items! Aren't these folded napkins so cute??
One of our retreaters, Dana Moore, loves to work with scraps! They were working on a quilt block as a group that created a few scraps, so Dana seized the opportunity! She was given scraps from all the other retreaters and created this beautiful quilt block from it! Isn't it stunning?? What a gift she has!
The group had mini lessons from Cindy each day where she gave them tips on using tools and templates, how to make each project and even some quilt demos. Check out this Dresden Tree Wall Hanging made by Dawn Wilking! It's so fun to use colorful Christmas Charm Packs to get a unique look! These bright blue and purple batiks are beautiful, aren't they?

"Somos el mundo 25 por Haiti" é um canção de caridade gravado por vários artistas latinos unidos para arrecadar fundos para ajudar as vitimas do terremóto no Haiti. A canção, escrita pela cantora Gloria Estefan em parceria com seu marido Emilio Estefan, é uma releitura em espanhol da canção escrita por Michael Jackson e Lionel Richie, We Are the World, em 1985.

A canção foi lançada na mesma época da releitura We Are the World 25 for Haiti, também com intuito de arrecadar fundos para ajudar famílias no Haiti. Somos el Mundo foi gravada em 19 de fevereiro de 2010 e lançada oficialmente poucos dias depois, em 1 de março de 2010 durante o programa de televisão El Show de Cristina, da apresentadora Cristina Saralegui.

Composição e desenvolvimento
Gloria Estefan e seu marido Emilio Estefan, junto e o cantor Quincy Jones e outros artistas, juntaram forças comovidos com o terremóto que havia acontecido no Haiti para arrecadar fundos para ajudar as famílias que tiveram suas casas destruidas. Em negociação à Universal Music, Gloria Estefan propos gravar uma versão em espanhol da canção We Are the World, que havia sido regravada também nos Estados Unidos com o título We Are the World 25 for Haiti, para arrecadar dinheiro para as vítimas do terremoto. A canção foi adaptada pela cantora e seu marido, sendo co-produtora e distribuidora pela Universion, uma das vertentes da Universal Music.

A versão foi gravada em 19 de fevereiro de 2010 no American Airlines Arena, em Miami, Estados Unidos. Olga Tañon gravou sua parte da canção anteriormente, separado do grupo de artistas, em 17 de fevereiro de 2010, por não poder comparecer à gravação original devido à compromissos assumidos antes, não querendo deixar de participar também da canção beneficente, onde foi designada para interpretar a estrofe corresponde à parte que Cyndi Lauper canta na versão original de 1985. Dentre os artistas que participaram da canção estão os Ricky Martin, Shakira, Thalía, Belinda, Pee Wee, dentre outros artistas latinos.

Q: How to migrate java code to Jdev12c from eclipseIDE? I want to migrate running java application to Jdev12c. Can i use all the jar used in Eclipse as it is. I have eclipse related jars also i.e.
org.apache.commons.logging-1.0.4.v201101211617.jar
org.eclipse.persistence.core-2.5.0-RC2.jar
org.eclipse.persistence.jpa-2.5.0.jar
org.eclipse.persistence.oracle-2.5.0.jar

can i use these all jars in Jdev directly. and also apache logger file will work in Jdev or not. also do i need to change something in classes and code?
I have folders in the application and which have files. I am also using .property file. so can i directly use this all.

A: JDeveloper has ability to import code from WAR file or a Maven project (import menu under file menu).
Or you can just create project from existing code.
You'll need to point to the jars in the project properties->libraries and class path

Every so often, life (or at least my life) calls for a refurbishment. I feel the need at those instances to shake out rugs, reorganize drawers, put up new paintings, and fix any squeaky or rusty parts of my brain and/or belongings. Such times usually emerge in conjunction with a new job, breakup, relocation, or other large or small life event. The following is a list of tactics I like to use whenever I crave change.
1.	Make lots of lists. See? I'm already following my own advice. Make a list of the things you would like to accomplish in the next few months, a list of the things you would do if money/time were not an issue, a list of the traits you like about yourself and the traits you would change about yourself, of books you've always wanted to read, movies you've wanted to watch, and places you've always wanted to visit.
2.	Tackle one item (or part of one item) from one of those lists per day. If applying for grad school is on your list of things to accomplish, go sign up for the GRE's and start researching schools. Borrow one of the books on your to read list from the library or watch one of the movies on your movie list. Just remember that while it's easy to get sucked into a book, movie, or TV show and pretend it is real life, it is important to stay totally present within your own life.
3.	Plan a trip. Make arrangements to visit a friend or just pick a time to take a road trip, ideally to somewhere you've never been before. If lack of paid time off is an issue, go somewhere close by, and if time is an obstacle you can always do what I do and travel vicariously through books. For instance, the last time I was craving an across-the-country road trip, I decided to re-read On the Road by Jack Kerouac, and just recently I started Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig.
4.	Sign up for a class you've always wanted to take. I find that life's transitional periods are when I feel the most creative. So, sign up for a painting class if you haven't painted since college and want to get back into it, a writing class, a foreign language class, or anything else that interests you.
5.	Put together a playlist of new music. It's difficult to start a new phase of your life when your itunes library is filled with songs that contain old and sometimes exhausted memories. Check out a website like last.fm or Spotify. You are bound to discover new artists that you've never heard of, or old artists with new albums, so download some of their songs and make yourself a play list for the new season.
6.	Get active. Yes, I'm sure you've heard from all corners of the internet that exercise is the best way to feel your best, and that's because it's true. Get out for a walk, run, or bicycle ride outside (or at the gym), and motivate yourself with some of your new music. If you're convinced that you lack the drive, get an exercise buddy or join a fitness class.
7.	Give yourself a makeover. You most likely feel different, so why not give yourself a new look to match. A couple years ago I cut my hair really short for the first time and it made me feel and act like a new, more confident person. Also, the feedback from friends and family was a welcome boost.
8.	Be present. The most important part of change is the act of experiencing it. Try not to dwell on where you were or where you're going, but rather enjoy the process of getting from here to there. Also, make sure to stay aware of the world around you. If you don't already, read the news throughout the day and tune into blogs/podcasts/radio shows in the area(s) of your interest.
If you got this far, it probably means that you're in a place similar to me, so go out there and become the new you: You 2.0. And if you discover any tactics that must be added to the list, let me know.

2015 DRIVERS ANNOUNCED FOR BAHRAIN ROOKIE TEST (Eng)
Following the close of the 2015 FIA World Endurance Championship season in Bahrain, the WEC and its LMP1 manufacturer partners Audi, Porsche and Toyota will hold an official 'Rookie Test' to offer up-and-coming drivers the opportunity to get behind the wheel of an LMP1 hybrid car. The inaugural test will take place at the Bahrain International Circuit on Sunday 22 November, the day after the 6 hours of Bahrain.
Three drivers have been chosen by the Promoter from within major endurance racing championships, and not just from within the WEC. They have been selected as having shown the best performance, determination and race skills during 2015. Each of the prototype manufacturers will test with at least one LMP1 car, and each of the drivers chosen will be given the opportunity to complete at least 30 laps with one manufacturer. The LMP1 manufacturers may also use the time on track to test additional drivers if they wish.
Audi R18 e-tron quattro #7 (Audi Sport Team Joest)
The drivers selected by the promoter are Sam Bird (GBR), Mitch Evans (NZL) and Richie Stanaway (NZL). Bird has been competing in 2015 with G-Drive Racing in the WEC and will test the Toyota TS040 HYBRID; Evans' performance with JOTA Sport at the WEC 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps and the 24 Hours of Le Mans brought him to the attention of the Promoter, and he will test the Porsche 919 Hybrid; Stanaway, like Evans, has been combining a single-seater career with successful appearances for Aston Martin Racing in the WEC, and he will test the Audi R18 e-tron quattro.
President of the ACO, Pierre Fillon, commented: "Of the many potential candidates we considered for selection, these three have shown outstanding performances which we considered merited the test drives in Bahrain. Sam Bird, Mitch Evans and Richie Stanaway have all come from GP2, and we respect that Sam has made the full commitment this year to endurance racing. Mitch's excellent performance at Spa and Le Mans brought him very much to our attention, while Richie has not failed to impress in the Aston Martin. Moving from LMGTE Am to the Pro category, he has demonstrated how it is possible to progress through the categories, just as it is possible for drivers to follow a career path through endurance racing's different levels. We congratulate them on their selection and we wish them every success at the test."
Gérard Neveu, CEO of the World Endurance Championship, said: "This first Rookie Test is a fantastic opportunity for these three up-and-coming endurance drivers to test an LMP1 prototype, the most technologically advanced race cars in the world. We looked in depth at drivers from within the world of endurance racing before making the selection, and believe that Sam Bird, Mitch Evans and Richie Stanaway fully deserved the opportunity to demonstrate their talent and potential. This Rookie Test will give drivers an added bonus to their season, and forms an important element in the progressive career path available within the endurance family."
All of the other WEC competitors who raced at the 6 Hours of Bahrain on the previous day are also able to run their cars in the test, providing a unique opportunity for them to evaluate potential drivers for the 2016 season in ideal conditions. An initial list of those due to attend the test will be released on 15 October, with the final entry list being available from Monday 9 November.
Running times on the circuit on Sunday 22 November will be from 10am to Midday and 1pm to 4pm.

These fair-trade delights are just right for two.
So we've developed this strategy: "He who does it gets to decide how to do it." And that strategy includes cooking. Whoever cooks dinner gets to decide what's for dinner.
Fortunately, there are no turf wars on Valentine's Day. We both want chocolate—and in manageable portions. Neither of us wants a three-layer cake that serves 16. Instead, two small chocolate soufflés do the trick: rich but airy, light but so satisfying. Or a small pot of chocolate fondue with some fresh fruit, a velvety treat on a special night.
So in the spirit of camaraderie brought on by the promise of chocolate, we actually make dinner together on Valentine's Day. We head for the store and both know right where the chocolate's kept. We make a beeline from the front door to the shelf, no cart necessary.
There's also no disagreement on the type of chocolate. No, not dark or milk, mind you. We buy Fair Trade Certified chocolate. Why? Well, for starters, 70 percent of the world's cocoa supply is produced in West Africa largely by enslaved children.
Steps have been taken to rectify the global problem. In 2001, Iowa Senator Tom Harkin and New York Congressman Eliot Engel created the Harkin-Engel Protocol to establish an international cocoa certification system to guarantee that chocolate has not been produced with forced child labor. The Harkin-Engel certification system is still a work in progress, so for now, Fair Trade Certified is the best option to look for. Fair Trade guarantees cocoa producers minimum prices. In return, producers must provide fair conditions to their workers. They must pay a fair wage, have safe working conditions and not use child labor.
Once we're home, we open a bottle of red wine and set to cooking, a shared task made better by both the holiday and our commitment to both healthy and politically responsible cooking. Oh sure, there might be a bone to pick with the fish. ("You coat it in what before it goes in the oven?") But with a rich chocolate dessert ahead, it's merely a bump in the road to bliss.

Controversy swept through the cryptocurrency market this week after Tether announced a significant hacking event. The startup company issued a statement on Tuesday, where it blamed malicious actors for compromising its Treasury account. More than 24 hours later, there is no information about whether the funds can be returned.
Tether has announced that $31 million was wiped from its Treasury wallet on Nov. 19, with the hacker diverting the funds to an unauthorized bitcoin address. The startup company, which issues dollar-backed tokens, is now trying to prevent the funds from re-entering circulation.
Tether has also suspended its wallet services as it continues to investigate the cause of the attack. It is also releasing a fresh version of Omni Core to prevent the attacker from diverting funds into another wallet. The company is urging all its users to upgrade to the new protocol. It has also requested that major exchanges block the address of the attacker.
Tether has been a source of controversy long before the recent heist. Back in April, the company said U.S. dollar wire exchanges had been blocked, raising skepticism that the tokens weren't fully backed by fiat money. According to Bloomberg, market participants have also raised questions about Tether's relationship with Bitfinex, a cryptocurrency exchange that has also been breached.
Tether and Bitfinex have worked together for at least three years. Both companies sued Wells Fargo & Co earlier this year after the U.S. banking giant eliminated wire transfers.
The recent string of controversies could undermine Tether's image as a facilitator of fiat currency trades. Even then, the company says on its website that it is not obliged to let users exchange USDT tokens for dollars.
In terms of price levels, USDT was last seen trading at $1.00 for a market capitalization of roughly $675 million. Trade volumes over the last 24 hours approached $509 million. That makes it the world's twentieth most valuable cryptocurrency.
The total value of all coins in circulation reached $250 billion on Wednesday for a new all-time high. There are 72 cryptocurrencies valued at $100 million or more. A total of 12 cryptos have a market cap exceeding $1 billion. Latest price trends show at least three more tokens could be welcomed by the billion-dollar club relatively soon.


Showing results by author "Sherwood Anderson"
Winesburg, Ohio has the most memorable cast of characters in 20th-century fiction. Listeners will remember at least a few stories and their characters for the rest of their lives. Each of the 23 stories stands on its own. And each is also interwoven into the fabric of the book.
Sherwood Anderson beskrev selv "Winesburg, Ohio" som "halvt selvstaendige fortaellinger, halvt roman". I dag er den kendt som et af de mest banebrydende vaerker i moderne amerikansk litteratur, og den har haft en enorm indflydelse på den amerikanske novelle. Bogen udspiller sig i den førindustrielle amerikanske lille by Winesburg, og omkring den centrale hovedperson, Winesburgs eneste journalist, den unge George Willard.
Winesburg, Ohio, a collection of stories set in a fictitious town in the 1890s, has long been considered Sherwood Anderson's masterpiece. Haunting and powerful, it draws readers into the streets and houses of Winesburg - and into the darkly complex lives of each of Anderson's unforgettable "grotesques."
Through 23 connected short stories, the author looks into the lives of the inhabitants of a small town in the American heartland. In a simple and intense style, these psychological portraits of the sensitive and imaginative of Winesburg's population are seen through the eyes of a young reporter-narrator, George Willard. Their stories are about loneliness and alienation, passion and virginity, wealth and poverty, thrift and profligacy, carelessness and abandon.
Sherwood Anderson's wonderful story of a young boy, brought up on an unsuccessful chicken farm, whose impoverished parents try their luck at running a restaurant. The father, not a natural showman by nature, attempts one night to entertain the sole diner with tricks which use eggs. The result is disastrous.
A captivating anthology of some of the more unusual short stories written by well-known classic writers. 1. "A Witch in the Peak" by R. Murray Gilchrist. 2. "War" by Sherwood Anderson. 3. "Self-Help" by W. W. Jacobs. 4. "The Wolf" by Guy de Maupassant. 5. "Makes the Whole World Kin" by O. Henry. 6. "The Stone Dragon" by R. Murray Gilchrist. 7. "The New Englander" by Sherwood Anderson. 8. "Berenice" by Edgar Allan Poe. 9. "The Man with the Watches" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. 10. "The Adventure of the Diamond Necklace" by G. F. Forest.
Sherwood Anderson was cited by Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Cather, and others as a major influence in the writing of short stories. "Winesburg, Ohio" is a landmark work many of us encounter as students. Anderson, in many ways, is best experinced in audio. He believed stories were meant to be told, as they are in the stories themselves. These nine are his best: "Brothers", "The Door of the Trap", "The Dumb Man", "The Egg", "Motherhood", "The New Englander", "The Other Woman", "Seeds", and "War."
Ten classic short stories from the quills of great bird-loving authors.
Sherwood Anderson (1876-1941) was an American novelist and short story writer, famous for his highly subjective and self-revealing works. Self-educated, he became a successful copywriter and business owner in Cleveland and Elyria, Ohio. In 1912, Anderson had a nervous breakdown that led him to abandon his business and family to become a writer. This collection contains seven of his most haunting tales.
Sherwood Anderson's most enduring work, Winesburg, Ohio, is considered one of earliest works of modernistliterature. The sequence of short stories centers on the life of George Willardand those who live in the rural, pre-industrial town. "Adventure," a shortstory within the novel, tells the tale of Alice Hindman, a twenty-somethinggirl, and her continued devotion to her former lover Ned Currie, who left her toseek his fortune in Chicago.
This is the tale of an historian who can write thousands of historical words, but can't seem to connect with his wife. He can tell stories of significance, but finds it hard to speak to the one he is to love for life. The struggle he faces leads him to a type of madness at the paradox. He has a gift of words, but can't give that gift to his wife.
I alle Sherwood Andersons bøger er hovedtemaet de menneskelige drifter og det civiliserede menneskes laengsel efter at genfinde en sand forståelse med naturen. I denne roman skildrer Anderson sin opfattelse af de sortes kontakt til det naturlige, uhaemmede liv, som står i staerk kontrast til, hvad han betragter som sine hvide "artsfaellers" degeneration.

Update regarding Liberty & Southall Black Sisters Safe to Share super-complaint
A letter from Chief Constable BJ Harrington to Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS) dated 10 December 2021.
Follow up to recommendations in HMICFRS' report 'Safe to Share'
Following HMICFRS' investigation into the super-complaint generated by Liberty and Southall Black Sisters regarding the treatment of victims with insecure immigration status, several recommendations were issued to the Home Office, NPCC and Chief Constables in response to the findings. Whilst no evidence was found to denote a culture of prioritising immigration enforcement within policing, it did identify inconsistencies in approach and content of information sharing.
Your letter of 24 November 2021 requested an update on the recommendations applicable to Chief Constables (Recommendations 1,4 and 5). You will be aware of the NPCC's response to HMICFRS in May 2021 with which I agree. The NPCC set out their argument for neither agreeing the rationale nor assessment of the evidence underpinning these recommendations.
Since the NPCC's initial response, I am aware that the NPCC has worked closely with the Home Office and relevant NGOs in a series of workshops exploring the implications of an information data sharing firewall and examining all possible solutions with the goal of increasing the confidence to report for all victims with an insecure immigration status. Those workshops have now concluded with the Home Office due to publish its review before Christmas. Further work will take place between the NPCC and the Home Office to update the current safeguarding and information sharing protocol with Immigration Enforcement.
While I intend to await the outcome of the Home Office review and the subsequent update to the safeguarding and information sharing protocol this in no way suggests that Essex Police does not take these matters seriously. Victims and vulnerability are at the very heart of our Force Plan and efforts to keep the people of Essex safe.
The tragic deaths of 39 Vietnamese victims who were trafficked into the county through an Essex port in October 2019 has shaped our response to organised immigration crime and how we respond in the community. Dignity and respect are at the heart of all our decision making and enquiries relating to foreign national victims and witnesses with no leave, or suspected no leave, to remain in the UK regardless of their nationality.
Essex Police continue to work in partnership with Immigration Enforcement to ensure that any victim of crime can feel comfortable disclosing offences and that they are afforded the same support as every victim, whilst respecting the legislation that underpins any necessary action by Immigration Enforcement.

There would be a Street Photography Workshop with Rahman Roslan in Kuching this coming 19 – 21st October 2018.
I know street photography workshops are quite common in Kuching, but not many do feature a photography personality like Rahman Roslan.
Rahman Roslan has had his photos used in The New York Times, National Geographic and Bloomberg, all huge international media agencies.
Organized by Petrosar Academy, the Street Photography Workshop will be guided by Rahman Roslan personally for the whole three days it is held.
This gives it more weight in my opinion. Most similar workshops only have their star guest attend for a few hours, but this isn't the case in this workshop.
Through this workshop, Petrosar Academy hopes students would be able to learn the tips and tricks from the master himself.
Each session has been carefully designed to enable close interaction between Rahman Roslan and the participants of the Street Photography Workshop. They include a few dedicated street photography shooting session, a session dedicated to the art of storytelling through photography, and also a couple of image editing sessions.
The photography workshop is open to everyone regardless of photography ability. However, if you want to really benefit from Rahman Roslan during the three day workshop, make sure you know your camera gear intimately.
The tentative schedule for the photography workshop can be seen below.
Aside from that, it would be also highly recommended that you bring along 10 digital or printed photos for review during the workshop. You are required to bring a laptop for the workshop as well.
At 33, Rahman Roslan is one of the youngest and most recent artists of his time to have his work used in major publications across the globe.
As I mentioned above, his work (photos) had been used in publications like the New York Times, National Geographic and Bloomberg in the past 10 years.
The video below shows his work with National Geographic.
Other agencies such as Reuters, Agence France Press, European Pressphoto Agency, TIME magazine, International Herald Tribune, Ojodepez, The National UAE, Sutra Magazine, The New Internationalist, Berita Harian Singapore and Strait Times Singapore are also extensively using his work. The use of his photos by these renowned agencies are testament of his calibre and work.
Rahman Roslan is currently a full time artist and photographer. His impressive work had earned him a spot in the prestigious workshops at the Angkor Photography Festival.
Rahman's participation in the coming street photography workshop in Kuching is Petrosar Academy's effort to inspire local Sarawakians to take up photography seriously and be as good, or better than Rahman.
Petrosar Academy also hopes participants will be more familiar with the art of storytelling through photography once they finish the workshop.
Petrosar Academy was founded in 2016 and is based at Jalan Penrissen, Kuching.
Aside from the street photography workshop with Rahman Roslan, Petrosar Academy is one of the few academies that do offer courses which are relevant to today's ever-changing digital market.
While most institutions are stuck at offering courses which are 'traditional', Petrosar Academy has taken the initiative to introduce courses which are related to drones and designing (using Adobe).
Drone courses are something different at Petrosar Academy. Photo: Petrosar Academy.
Both courses are intertwined with the needs of the digital world today, especially when it comes to photography and designing.
In fact, the use of drones and Adobe design softwares such as Illustrator, After Effects, Photoshop and Premier also allows one to go beyond just videography and photography, but also into other fields which are also demanding such skills.

I can't put all the information about Petrosar Academy here, so if you need more, do look them up on Facebook.


Lylah M. Alphonse: Focus on the positive: What do you do well?
Focus on the positive: What do you do well?
So often, we're down on ourselves for what we didn't do right, what we couldn't get done on time, what we wish we could do but don't. Inspired by a blog post at Mocha Momma -- a letter to herself at age 20 -- I'm want to know: What do you think you do well?
My work-life juggle always ratchets up in the summer. I've got an almost-full house right now, my in-laws and niece are here, too. Our big kids are teens and tween-aged now -- too old for the camp they used to love, but too young to spent large chunks of time on their own -- and while you might think that things get easier when kids get older and more independent, you'd be wrong (they just get different). My mother-in-law -- bless her -- keeps the the laundry monsters at bay when she's here; I wanted to ask her how she manages to get the clothes so crisp and smooth and then I realized it probably has something to do with the fact that they don't sit in my room in a heap for two weeks before they get folded.
As I've mentioned over at The 36-Hour Day, right now I feel like the challenge is not so much trying to keep all of my balls in the air as it is accepting the fact that, at some point, I will drop them. Possibly all of them. And they will roll under the couch and hang out with the dust bunnies that I haven't had time to clean.
I maintain that my superpower is multitasking, and right now, I'm going to say that's the thing I do right. Because while the carpet may be crunchy and my sainted Mother-in-Law is managing my laundry situation and helping me play beat-the-clock with daycare, somehow the rest of the balls still seem to be up in the air instead of under the couch.


Good News for Law Firms?
A return to the Continental Bank strategy of the 1980's?
.. a reduction of noncore spending in areas such as travel, meetings and training. Legal staff compensation also has been impacted by salary freezes or minimal increases.
…many general counsel say that they are under pressure from their boards to cut legal budgets severely from between 20 to 40 per cent. Naturally, they are turning to their law firms to ask them to rethink their hourly rates and charging models.
It's clear to anyone who has managed the budget of a law department that 20%+ percent cuts don't come just from cutting back on travel and training. And beyond a certain point, cutting internal headcount garners only short-term savings, allowing some work to migrate back outside, and impacting risk control and compliance efforts.
So is there good news for law firms?
Yes, in the sense that most GCs are probably more open to new ways of doing things, at lower unit costs. This includes approaches from firms other than their current incumbents.
No, in the sense that "same wine, different bottle" probably won't get past round one and onto the short list.


I agree with you in the "shorts" department!! I am loving these shorts on you and that jacket!! Also love your lip colour..
LOVE that bird print. I used to HATE shorts on myself. But now that my legs are in a little bit better shape (thanks to stroller strides!), I have totally warmed up to them. Obvi, right? It's kind of all I wear now…ha ha!
Ok a- how cute is that top?!?! Love it! Im also loving that bag, its similar to the Louis, but at a fraction of the cost! B) I am totally with you on the shorts! I dont really wear shorts, as I find that they not really flattering on me, but that pair you are wearing in this look is perfect! The length, color, and fit- seems like something most people can pull off.
Distressed denim shorts paired with a classy blazer…fabulous juxtaposition and a fun summer look!
I accidently came across your blog and find it amazing. I like your styling as it is quite close to my tastes. Also, I love the fact that most of the items can be found at a reasonable price and are not the "designer" duds that most people can't afford.
If you don't mind could you share the sizing of your clothes (eg how tall you are, and mostly what size do you wear in tops, bottoms and dresses), this really helps in seeing how the clothes (would) fit as some clothes might fit and look better on a size 4 or Small versus a large.
Thanks and wish you success.
Such a fun printed top! You look gorgeous!
Great outfit! I love the jacket with the bag!
I love these gap shorts and I had my eyes on them for weeks now I must have them lol. You look gorgeous and you styled it perfectly.
Love this! I'll have to check out those shorts, and LUV the little jacket — thanks for sharing!
The shorts look fantastic on you…and I am obsessing over your flamingo top!
I'm the same way with shorts, but the ones you're wearing look great on you! And that blazer is so cool, I love that its collarless.
That top is so adorable! I have the same problem with shorts, minus I don't have your legs so I can't seem to find the right pair!
Stop it right now…I LOVE this look!! I need those shorts and I'm already thinking of ways to steal that top from you!
These are the perfect length. Shorts these days are just too short and I'm not a fan of the underwear short.
I love those shorts! They are the perfect mix of destructed and chic!
Seriously obsessed with this shirt!! I love the birds and its perfect for summer. What size did you end up getting? Also, those shorts are perfect for dressing up or down. Killer heels!
this blouse is so perfect, and so funny about your shorts post since I had the same discussion on Monday! These are a great length, and look so good on you. Fun to see them with heels.
I really like these shorts and that top is super adorable!
LOVE the shorts, dislike the wash but you can get away with light colored bottoms and I can't 🙂 I don't blame you for changing out of the shoes!
You have legs to die for!! BTW I hear aviary print – even though it has been overused lately!! Hope you are having a wonderful day!
I am getting into shorts this summer but then need to be looser if they are very short. That keeps me from feeling over exposed!
LOVE the boyfriend shorts (and those cute flamingos)! I've been searching for a pair of flattering shorts this Summer and these look like they'd be perfect.
Love that blouse. The pattern is adorable.
That flamingo print is adorable! I love that "non-traditional" animal prints have been popping up recently.
That jacket is amazing. It definitely makes the look more dressy.
yup, that is short perfection right there!
Love the mix of stripes and flamingos 🙂 And I like the longer denim shorts…kinda tired of the super short cutoffs. And the bold red bag is gorgeous!!
I am totally obsessing over your flamingo blouse…so cute!!
i love the shoes and the jacket!!
That's such a pretty outfit! Love everything from the striped jacket to the bird print top.


The comptroller of Illinois is chief financial officer of the government of Illinois.
In an environment like we currently have in our State Government, where it can't pass a budget, the comptroller can opt to stop payment to State officials until a budget is passed.
Without a balanced budget, the state of Illinois is piling up obligations much faster than it is taking money in. School districts, social services, and vendors have taken longer to get paid as a result, and it's the comptroller's job to figure out who to pay, when, and how.
For more, see WBEZ's take on why the Illinois Comptroller race deserves extra attention this year.
The current comptroller, Leslie Munger, did not win an election to get the office, but was appointed by Governor Bruce Rauner after the death of comptroller Judy Baar Topinka in 2014.
This is a Special Election, so the winner will face voters again in two years.
Governor Rauner donated $1 Million of his own money to Munger's campaign.
Democratic nominee Susana Mendoza is largely backed by Unions and Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan.
There are 2 additional candidates – Tim Curtin (G) and Claire Ball (L).


TakeT is a Japanese brand specialising in supertweeters, surround HD headphones and frequency enhancing accessories. TakeT Ltd. established in 2001 is a research and development company in Kanagawa, Japan. They are mostly known for their supertweeters that come in various shapes, sizes and price tags. Their website explains, in detail, how each supertweeter may be used in a variety of systems and applications. In 2008, TakeT released their flagship supertweeter called the Batmaster with a frequency response extending from 20 kHz to 150 kHz.
Heavy wooden cabinet with frost black painting.
The horn and spike feet are made of brass.
Gold plated compact speaker binding posts, at the back, accepts the most compact spade connectors and standard banana plugs. Even bare wire will do.
An aluminium rotary switch that allows for matching the sensitivity of the supertweeter with the main loudspeaker.
The off position here does not mean that the supertweeters are off, it means that the supertweeters are least sensitive—70dB.
The transducer used is the TAT Heil type bimorph polymer piezo-electric driver.
Each TakeT Batmaster supertweeter weighs about 720gms and has a dimension of 110X70X100mm.
They are very expensive. Most of the well-known premium supertweeters cost over INR 75K a piece. It makes practical sense to buy a pair of speakers with good frequency extension on both ends of the spectrum.
One additional ugly looking audiophile object to deal with in the listening room.
Very unlikely to get past the WAF.
Getting them working perfectly in any room or system is going to be just as complex as setting up a subwoofer for getting the low frequencies right.
One lazy Sunday afternoon, while browsing eBay, I stumbled upon the TakeT BPP portable supertweeter. It is as simple as just plug and play. It is meant to be used with portable headphone setups and was priced at just USD 55, inclusive of shipping from Japan, with money back guarantee. This was an opportunity for me to explore what the supertweeters had to offer without costing an arm and a leg.
So I bought one right away and a few weeks later it was delivered to my doorstep in a jiffy envelope. I tried them in many different ways and to cut a long story really short—I heard no difference at all. I went through the product manual, checked online forums and nothing really made any difference. At least, I was not able to appreciate the product the way it was intended to be. May be, I did not use it optimally the way it should have been used. I returned the TakeT BPP back to Japan for a refund. Some lessons in audio and in life cannot be learnt any other way but by going that extra mile.
I was still not convinced that supertweeters were a gimmick. Some of the big names in audio have spent time and resources in making supertweeters and they often cost more than the loudspeakers they manufacture. The well-known brands that make supertweeters are Tannoy, ELAC, Townshend… to name a few.
I decided to try the Batmaster supertweeters that was the flagship supertweeter from TakeT. They were fairly compact, not very loud in appearance and looked like a design that could be easily placed atop any bookshelf speaker without too much attention and raised eyebrows (WAF).
The TakeT Batmaster supertweeters arrived in a simple well packed compact box. I plugged the Batmasters to my bookshelf speakers using a 24inches long custom ordered speaker jumper cables terminated with pure copper compact spade connectors. The binding posts used on the Batmaster is so compact that the size of the connector being used can have an impact on the ease of setup.
I tried positioning the Batmasters across various spots on the real estate found atop my bookshelf speakers and they sounded best when they were exactly above and closest to the tweeters of my bookshelf speakers. At this position they sound most cohesive without getting any attention to themselves.
The sensitivity of the Batmaster can be matched with the main loudspeaker with the help of a rotary switch at the back. The aluminium rotary switch can be rotated in 05 steps that allows the user to select between70dB, 85dB, 90dB, 95dB and 100dB ratings. The Batmasters' sound is most cohesive and effortless when the sensitivity of the supertweeter is closest to that of the main loudspeaker. Playing around with rotary switch actually helps tip the spectral balance of the sound/presentation the way one likes it.
On first listen, the TakeT Batmaster supertweeters do sound like they add a lot of information in the high frequencies. They sound very detailed and makes the system sound a tad too bright. It takes them a good 200 hours to kind of completely settle down. Post 200 hours of use, they sound detailed, smooth and effortless.
I suspected that the supertweeters would benefit mostly from 24bit/96khz hi-res FLAC downloads than 16bit/48khz CD ripped FLACs. To my surprise, they seem to benefit from any recording I threw at them. The better the quality of the recording, the better I was able to discern what the supertweeters had to offer in my set-up. Most 24bit recordings, that I had, did sound discernibly better than 16bit recordings. 24bit recordings sound more composed, dynamic and holographic, and the Batmasters help gauge the difference better.
"Time" is the fourth track from the English progressive rock band Pink Floyd's 1973 album The Dark Side of the Moon. I have heard this song many times over the last decade. This song helps me understand how muddy, clean, congested or well extended is a presentation in any system that I get my hands on. With the TakeT Batmaster Supertweeters the high frequencies were not just well extended, the entire presentation was clean and effortless. Many more familiar songs get a replay and hours pass like minutes.
Just like how an external subwoofer can add subsonic sound to movie watching, an external supertweeter can add supersonic sound to Hi-Res music listening. Of course, it is scientifically measured/established that we cannot hear beyond 20kHz but supertweeters resolve the spatial cues and venue ambience recorded in a 24bit/96kHz music more effortlessly, making it sound more dynamic, better composed and almost life-like (03 dimensional). And just like a subwoofer, it is not easy to integrate external supertweeters into a good 2 channel music system without compromising elsewhere—cohesion and of course, one more audiophile bizarre object in the room, and sitting atop good looking speakers. It takes time, patience, understanding and knowledge to integrate supertweeters optimally in any setup.
The quality of the jumper cables does have a profound impact on the TakeT Batmaster Supertweeters' performance. I started with cheap self-crimping banana plugs from a well-known American brand with some left-over bare speaker wire and then later switched to a custom made jumper cables terminated with pure copper spade connectors. This upgrade offered a more cohesive presentation. So do not cheap out on this essential tweak.
The brass spikes is likely to leave marks on a piano gloss finish. So for this reason I use 3M small bumpons. These rubber feet also offer better surface grip than the brass feet. Takei, the man behind TakeT, claims that the brass feet offers maximum isolation from loudspeaker vibration than what the rubber feet can achieve.
I have used the TakeT Batmaster Supertweeters extensively for over 06 months. During that time, I've had the chance to use them with a few bookshelf speakers from Paradigm, Quad, Xavian… They were also test driven using solid state and vacuum tube amplification too. With an assortment of 16bit/48kHz and 24bit/96kHz material. In each arrangement, they proved to be effective and indispensable.
For those in the lookout for new loudspeakers, buying a pair of loudspeakers with good frequency extension will offer better practicality and value for money.
For those who already own a premium wide-bander or a pair of premium loudspeakers that do not have a good frequency extension, these are highly recommended add-ons that could be the final solution to completing/finishing a hi-fi puzzle. TakeT also has more budget friendly supertweeters in their product line-up.
Very attractive form factor. Easy on WAF.
Handcrafted in Japan with great attention to detail.
They add most value when used for hi-res playback.
The speaker binding posts, though small, are still very crammed and does not offer much grip to tighten them.
Hard to understand user manual.

Torticollis, also sometimes known as "wry neck" or "loxia" is a condition caused by a variety of factors, but results in tightening of the neck muscles on one side and subsequent head tilt. Torticollis can be acute and temporary, caused by awkward positioning, or more long-term and congenital.
Torticollis is most common in infants and children under 2.
Torticollis is also associated with plagiocephaly, or flattening of the head, due to bad positioning.
Torticollis is fairly common and most children with torticollis don't have any other medical problems. Still, torticollis and plagiocephaly should be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible.
In some cases, however, your pediatrician may recommend treatment from a physical therapist.
Physical therapists treating torticollis will develop a custom therapeutic program for each child, incorporating stretches, exercises, special positioning, and gross motor skill development. They can also help to determine best treatments for plagiocephaly or other concurrent conditions.
If you're in Connecticut and your pediatrician has recommended physical therapy for torticollis, Cheshire Fitness Zone can help.
