Our database contains mobile coverage information for EE, O2, Three and Vodafone.
Results show indoor and outdoor coverage for Voice calls, 3G data and 4G data for every postcode in the UK for each mobile network.
What is mobile coverage / signal checking?
Before signing up for a mobile provider you want to know whether you can get coverage where you live, work or anywhere else you are likely to want to use your phone.
You need to be checking the mobile coverage in your area. Our database allows you to check the mobile signal strength in any postcode for all of the mobile networks in just one search, rather than having to visit each supplier individually, saving you time and effort.
Who provides mobile coverage in the UK?
These companies actually build and own their own physical mobile phone network including things such as the mobile phone masts you see dotted around the country.
What other mobile providers are there?
What types of mobile coverage are there?
Voice - Voice coverage is the simplest kind of coverage available (technically known as 2G), it's really only useful for making telephone calls and sending text messages. You might if you have a very strong signal and plenty of patience be able to download a simple email, it's really not much use at all for doing anything that needs data.
3G - This was first introduced into the UK in the early 2000's. 3G provides much better data speeds (also known as mobile broadband). 3G typically provides for maximum download speeds of 7.2Mbps which is pretty good.
4G - First introduced into the UK in 2012 4G provides a step change up in speeds when compared to previous generations. Download speeds of 150Mbps are theoretically possible and 75Mbps plus commonly reported by users in the UK. 4G rivals many fixed line broadband suppliers for pure download speed.
5G - The next generation mobile broadband has yet to be introduced, indeed it has yet to be fully specified. Expect to see speeds up to 1Gbps (that's the same as 1000Mbps). We'd expect 5G to become available in the UK some time in the early 2020's.
Coverage can also vary significantly in some areas depending on whether you are indoors or outdoors, so our database contains information on both areas for every postcode.
What affects mobile signal coverage?
Open a window - If you are inside just opening the nearest window, especially if it's in the direction of your nearest mobile phone mast, can give you a boost in signal.
Get high up - As mobile signals require line of sight for the very best signal then getting yourself as high up as possible will improve your signal, if you are indoors then go to the top of your building, outdoors look for the highest piece of ground nearby.
Turn your phone off and on again - Your phone may not have connected to the nearest mast to you, by switching off your phone, or putting it in flight mode for a few moments, you will force your phone to reconnect to your network and this may put you on a closer mast with better signal.
Switch Networks - You may find (for example by using our postcode checker) that a different provider has better signal in your area. Switching to this supplier will give instant improvements in signal.
WiFi Calling - If you live in a really poor area for mobile signal but have a fixed line broadband supplier (or access to other WiFi) then most networks have apps you can download to your phone which allow you to make and receive calls over WiFi when you don't have a mobile signal.
Mobile phone signal boosters - If you find that you can get signal in the garden but not indoors, or in one room of the house but not others, then you might find a signal booster to be the solution to your problems. These devices take the signal in the area that it's available and then boosts it to widen its availability. We strongly recommend talking to your network provider when looking at this option as some of the third party signal boosters that you find for sale are illegal to use in the UK.
How do I check my mobile coverage?
The simplest way to check your mobile coverage is to pop your postcode in the search box at the top of this page, we'll then be able to tell you what level of coverage you can expect in your area from all the UK's network providers.


Personal computers and servers use large portion of global information and communications technology (ICT) emissions. Power utilized by them is expected to increase continuously in the coming years, owing to which a great deal of power consumed is wasted. Servers use almost 60% of their maximum power on their idle mode and typically only run at around 15% utilization.
PC server power management tools offer a fast return on investment for companies that seek cost savings and focus on reducing emissions. These tools are expected to be highly beneficial for corporate IT departments, since there is an increasing concern about power use in the data center due to which management of servers is a sensitive issue.
The global PC server power management software market is driven by increased adoption of cloud-based power management software and growth in need to reduce the overall operating costs of managing enterprise network infrastructure among various organizations. However, growth in availability of open-source power management software and lack of R&D activities limit the market growth. Furthermore, continuous increase in power consumption in the IT industry and rise in need to reduce energy costs are expected to provide numerous opportunities for market expansion.
The global PC server power management software market is segmented on the basis of deployment model, industry vertical, and region. Based on deployment model, it is bifurcated into cloud-based and on-premise. Industry verticals covered in this study include public sector computing, financial services and retail/wholesale, manufacturing, telecommunications, services, energy/utilities, and transport. Based on region, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

At least three homeowners in the hard-hit area of Breezy Point, N.Y., were robbed while away for the Thanksgiving holiday -- losing items like two jars with $400 in change, watches and a coin collection valued at $25,000.
"This just adds insult to injury," Robert Bainbridge told the New York Post of the break-in at his home, which was flooded by Superstorm Sandy.
"Whoever did this is not thinking, 'This could happen to me'," added Bainbridge, whose family saw floodwaters swamp their recording studio and destroy two cars.
Bainbridge, who lost the two change jars, later taped a sign on his door stating: "I am here and armed -- come on in".
A neighbor lost the coin collection and two watches, one a retirement gift.
"We've lived here for 30 years, and nothing like this has ever happened," the neighbor, a woman who asked not to be identified, told the Post.
In a neighborhood hard-hit by Sandy, even people who are storm victims themselves find ways to bring Thanksgiving to others. NBC's Kate Snow reports.
A third homeowner who also remained anonymous returned to find many of her drawers had been rifled through. A laptop and jewelry were taken from the home, which is still without power and whose living room, dining room and bathroom were destroyed in the storm.
The owner at first did not realize she had been robbed since so much of the home was damaged.
"Our house is in bad shape," she told the Post. "It looks like an earthquake hit it."
Breezy Point saws 14 break-ins from Nov. 12 to 18, the Post noted, compared with none a year earlier.

Why It's So Hard to Keep Up With The Kardashians – Sooo Fabulous!
It's so hard to keep up with the Kardashian sisters and their gazillion projects!
And today they dished some pretty major news that tells me it's going to get even harder.
The sisters have entered the apparel, home and accessories scene in collaboration with Australian designer Bruno Schiavi and his apparel company, Jupi Corporation.
From the initial collaboration, the sisters will launch a women's RTW collection, handbags, belts, wallets and lingerie. They're scheduled to be in-stores in 2011 in the US, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and Germany.

'Our amazing vaccination teams have delivered more than 5.5 million vaccines'
Lesley Griffiths, MS for Wrexham
By Lesley Griffiths
MS for Wrexham
A year has passed since the first Covid-19 vaccine was administered in Wales.
Over the last 12 months, our amazing vaccination teams have delivered more than 5.5 million vaccines to people in Wales. To set up a brand new service of this magnitude from scratch is a truly remarkable achievement.
Authorities are still learning about the Omicron variant but the evidence so far suggests it will become the dominant form of the virus very quickly.
It means the vaccination programme is ramping up, with all eligible adults being offered a booster by the end of January.
In the coming weeks, more than 200,000 appointments will be offered in Wales every week.
People will continue to be called in priority order of age and vulnerability so please wait until you are invited for your booster. For the last 12 months, vaccines have been our best defence against the virus.
As we face the new uncertainty of the Omicron variant, I urge people from Wrexham to make getting your vaccine or booster a priority over the next few weeks. It is never too late to get vaccinated.
Throughout the pandemic, unpaid carers have gone above and beyond the call of duty, providing invaluable support and care for their loved ones or friends in some of the most challenging circumstances. The physical and emotional impact of caring can be overwhelming but I am pleased the Welsh Government has outlined how its £7m funding package will support unpaid carers, recognising their vital contribution. The Welsh Government previously committed £3 million in 2021-22 to allow more carers to take a break from their caring role, bringing the total additional funding support for unpaid carers this year to £10 million. Unpaid carers play a vital role in our society and I hope this latest funding will support them and provide some much needed respite.
It was lovely spending time with beneficiaries, volunteers and staff at the new Caia Park Mental Health and Wellbeing Hub. Based at the Caia Park Partnership, the Hub is run by North East Wales Mind and offers a drop-in service with free tea and coffee for anyone to call in for a chat. In a short amount of time the Hub has already had a positive impact, providing a safe space for people who are struggling for whatever reason. It is an excellent example of different partners working collaboratively and it is clear the resource is valued by the local community.

Department of Engineering / News / Cambridge team receives 2019 J. James R. Croes Medal
Cambridge team receives 2019 J. James R. Croes Medal
A research paper titled 'Structural Performance Monitoring Using a Dynamic Data-Driven BIM Environment' has been awarded the 2019 J. James R. Croes Medal.
This is the first robust implementation of fully connected Digital and Physical Twins, able to provide geometrically registered dynamic information about the physical asset to help decision makers make dynamic decisions.
Dr Ioannis Brilakis
Dr Juan M. D. Delgado, Dr Liam Butler, Dr Ioannis Brilakis, Dr Mohammed Elshafie and Professor Campbell R. Middleton received the medal on June 18 in Atlanta, USA. It was awarded by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) for the paper that was published in the May 2018 edition of the ASCE Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering.
The paper presents an approach to develop data-driven Digital Twin systems for monitoring the structural performance of infrastructure assets in a dynamic manner. This approach was demonstrated in a case study in which a steel rail bridge was instrumented with fibre optics sensors and modelled into a geometric Digital Twin. The sensor time series data was integrated with the geometry and used to monitor the structural performance of the bridge when trains passed along it. The prototype provides a dynamic indication of the load capacity used when trains cross the bridge.

Dr Manuel Davila Delgado said: "I'm pleased that our seminal work on data-driven structural monitoring in a Digital Twin environment is being recognised. This award is evidence of the quality of our research, its practical value and high-impact contributions to engineering practice."
Dr Ioannis Brilakis added: "This is the first robust implementation of fully connected Digital and Physical Twins, able to provide geometrically registered dynamic information about the physical asset to help decision makers make dynamic decisions."
About the J. James R. Croes Medal
The J. James R. Croes Medal was established by the ASCE in 1912. It is awarded to the authors who published a paper in any of the ASCE journals that makes a notable contribution to engineering research. The practical value of the research and its impact on engineering practice are essential considerations to award the medal. The J. James R. Croes Medal is the second highest honour bestowed by ASCE to a piece of academic work. It is named in honour of the first recipient of the Norman Medal, John James Robertson Croes, past President of ASCE. Past winners of the medal can be found here.

is the most significant advancement in the Bluetooth standard since the introduction of Bluetooth low energy in Bluetooth 4.0. It is taking Bluetooth to the next level and is making brand new use cases possible and improving existing ones.
A higher datarate of 2Mbps.
A long range mode with better sensitivity at two new lower datarates of 500kbps and 125kbps.
An 8 x improvement in broadcast capability with advertising extensions.
An improved channel selection algorithm (CSA #2) which enables improved channel coordination and coexistence efficiency with other Bluetooth and non-Bluetooth traffic.
The nRF52 Series multiprotocol SoCs are high performance that support Bluetooth 5. The nRF52840 supports all new features of Bluetooth 5, whilst the other members support all Bluetooth 5 features with the exception of the long range modes. The nRF52 Series family of devices cover baseline through general purpose up to highly sophisticated Bluetooth 5 devices. All devices in the family are supported by qualified, high performance, production-grade software stacks. Together they offer an unparalleled development option for creating products with Bluetooth 5.
The data rate for Bluetooth low energy has now been extended from a singular transmission speed (1Mbs) to four discrete data rate speeds as seen in the list above. The maximum speed is doubled to 2Mbs. Together with advancements introduced in Bluetooth 4.2 which allowed for Data Length Extensions (DLE) overall throughput is x5 higher than the original Bluetooth 4.0 level. Now net data throughput not including overhead such as addressing can be as high as 1.4Mbs. Data packet size, datarate and overall data throughput are illustrated in fig. 1.
This increase offers opportunities for new applications that simply need more data throughput than was possible previously. It also enables much faster Over the Air Device Firmware Upgrades (OTA-DFU).The nRF52840, like all members of the nRF5x series Socks is a flash-based SoC thus enabling it to take advantage of this increased speed to perform firmware updates and for uploading data in bulk fashion.
Bluetooth 5 introduced significant changes at the physical (PHY) layer for Bluetooth radio operation. Four data rates are now available 2Mbps, 1Mbps, 500kbps and 125kbps. The 2Mbps clearly offers higher throughput possibilities. Why offer lower datarates of 500kbps and 125kbps some may ask. The reason for these is that at these lower datarates and with the associated LE Coded processing using Forward Error Correction (FEC) it becomes easier to retirieve data transmissions in surrounding noise. In short, the sensitivity improves, specifically by around 12dB.
In RF terms 6dB improved gain in the link budget is a theoretical doubling of range, therefore 12dB improvement increases range possibilities fourfold. Link budgets can be improved by additional power, but critically the long range improvements in Bluetooth 5 do not rely on improved output power and mean up to four times more range can be achieved without a need to increase peak output power. The data throughput capacity does of course reduce when 500kbps or 125kbps modes are selected, but for many Bluetooth low energy applications which are relatively straightforward sensing and actuating applications, these data rates are perfectly adequate.
Advertising extensions are introduced to alleviate advertising channel occupancy and potential channel congestion. Data Length Extensions and a new PHY layer means longer packet lengths in terms of actual data and the length of time they occupy a channel. As only 3 advertising channels exist these channels could soon become congested with advertising packets with large data payloads at lower on-air transmission speeds such as 125kbs.Advertising extensions mitigates this potential issue by advertising on the 3 advertising channels as previously, but the data to be sent is on an agreed non-advertising channel.
Periodic advertising allows for more synchronized broadcasting of data between devices. In this mode periodic advertising happens at a deterministic periodic interval thus allowing true connectionless broadcasting.
Bluetooth 5 has also introduced an improved Channel Sequencing Algorithm (CSA #2) to improve the pseudo randomness of next hop channel sequencing. CSA #2 will improve coexistence performance of enabled devices in the presence of WiFi, other Bluetooth devices. All of the nRF52 Series SoCs have the ability to support CSA #2.
All of the nRF52 Series SoCs multi-protocol SoCs have been designed to take advantage of these significant performance advancements of Bluetooth 5. Additionally, the nRF52840 has improved output power of 8dB which together with new long range features in Bluetooth 5 offer significant new application possibilities requiring longer range communication.

Q: Python: Reading input from a file? I have a text file of the format:
2
1 3
2 4

I have written a python program that asks for number of inputs and prints out the values sum .
n = int(raw_input())
for _ in range(n):
     a,b = map(int,raw_input().split())
     print a+b

But

*

*How should I take input from file such that first line is number of test cases and next lines are inputs?

*Print the output to a file?

A: 1 + 2. Shell redirection.
$ python foo.py < input.txt > output.txt

A: You can use the fileinput module to make your script support both reading input from a file and reading from stdin.
import fileinput
num_inputs = None
for line in fileinput.input():
    if num_inputs is None:
        num_inputs = int(line)
    else:
        a,b = map(int, line.split())
        print a+b

This way, if you pass a filename as an argument to your script, it reads from it, else it reads from stdin.
Note that in this snippet I just read all the inputs in file after the first line, and make no real use of the num_inputs variable, but you can easily change that to enforce the expected number of inputs is actually read.
As to writing to a file, this is a basic python question, which has already been answered here.

A: Assuming your input comes from a file, inp.txt, like:
$ cat inp.txt
2
1 3
2 4

You can use the code below, which basically reads the input file line by line, and computes the values and stores them:
with open("inp.txt", "r") as inp, open("out.txt", "w") as out:
    no_of_cases = int(inp.readline())
    for line in inp:
        a,b = map(int,line.split())
        out.write("%s\n" % (a + b))

Note that no_of_cases has not been used in the code anywhere above because it is redundant for this example.
This will produce the output file out.txt for you, with following data:
$ cat out.txt
4

Q: Using rancher Desktop: How to access a Kubernetes Service(node port) running in a container from the local laptop I am running Rancher Desktop on my ubuntu laptop.
I have a container running mongodb in a kubernetes container:
$ kubectl get all
NAME                                                 READY   STATUS              RESTARTS       AGE
pod/mongo-deployment-7fb46bd85-vz9th                 1/1     Running             0              37m

NAME                                 TYPE        CLUSTER-IP      EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)           AGE
service/kubernetes                   ClusterIP   10.43.0.1       <none>        443/TCP           3d17h
service/mongo-service                NodePort    10.43.132.185   <none>        27017:32040/TCP   37m

NAME                                            READY   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   AGE
deployment.apps/mongo-deployment                1/1     1            1           37m

NAME                                                       DESIRED   CURRENT   READY   AGE

So the node port of the mongo service is: 32040.
I have found the local ip of the kubernetes node:
$ kubectl get node -o wide
NAME                   STATUS   ROLES                  AGE     VERSION        INTERNAL-IP    EXTERNAL-IP   OS-IMAGE             KERNEL-VERSION   CONTAINER-RUNTIME
lima-rancher-desktop   Ready    control-plane,master   3d17h   v1.23.6+k3s1   192.168.5.15   <none>        Alpine Linux v3.15   5.15.32-0-virt   containerd://1.5.11

so the internal  ip is: 192.168.5.15
but when i try to connect to 192.168.5.15 on port 32040 i get connection timed out.
could i have a hint on how to do this  with Rancher Desktop ?
thank you,
Andrei

A: i found a solution: it seems that the ip returned by
kubectl get node -o wide
is not usable to acess services from the kubernetes node, in Rancher Desktop (it is working in other kubernetes cluster named "kind" (https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/)).
What is working for Rancher Desktop is to access the NodePort service directly on localhost, so in the example above: localhost:32040


Owners of a popular Udny cafe are celebrating the opening of their second location in Ellon town centre.
Husband and wife team Jonny and Ali Aspden of The Coffee Apothecary opened the doors to their new cafe three weeks ago.
The cafe is located in The Square and was previously the charity shop Helping Hands.
Jonny and Ali opened their first Coffee Apothecary cafe in Udny four years ago.
The pair were approached by BrewDog with an offer to bring their unique cafe to Ellon, an offer they couldn't refuse.
Speaking to the Times Ali said: "They asked if we would consider opening in Ellon and we were delighted to say yes.
"We had been thinking about what we could do in Udny to expand but then this came up and here we are.
"It has been a good decision for us and everything has been going really well so far.
The Ellon cafe has a similar design as its Udny predecessor, which Ali believes helps to make it "a home away from home".
The Coffee Apothecary serves fresh food which is all made on site using as much local and seasonal produce as possible.
Customers can sit in and choose from a number of speciality coffees and delicious dishes, or those on the go can also pop in and purchase a takeaway coffee.
Looking to the future, Jonny and Ali have applied for an alcohol licence and hope that they will be able to extend their opening hours into the evening.

My Gambling Addiction Got Me $35K in Debt. Recovery Put Me in Control Again.
Slot machines and anxiety ruined Andy Bellatti's life, but a 12-Step Program kicked off a healing journey.
By Spencer Dukoff
Courtesy of Andy Bellatti/Getty Images
After moving to Las Vegas to work as a dietitian, ANDY BELLATTI, R.D., 38, received a $50 voucher in the mail to play slots. Five and a half years later, he had maxed out 12 credit cards and cashed out his 401(k), and he was more than $35,000 in debt. His boss convinced him to consider a 12-step program, and now he's three years into recovery.
I made the first bet of my life when I was 24 years old when I first came to Vegas on vacation. I'll never forget that in that first day of just playing a slot machine, I was hooked. I mean, it was immediate.
It was all framed under this guise of "going on vacation." I would gamble for 20 hours straight. I would have a budget of X amount and go over it by five times. I wouldn't eat. I wouldn't really sleep. But I think it was very easy to tell myself, "Okay, well, I was on vacation."
And then I moved to Vegas in 2012 for a job. I didn't really know anybody and I had a job that was kind of very isolating. Rather than maybe put myself out there and be a little bit vulnerable to meet people, I decided that it was safer and more comfortable to avoid that.
Instead, it became a thing where my casino trip went from once every two weeks to once a week, and then multiple times in a week. I had one credit card [when I moved]. Fast-forward five-and-a-half years laters, I have 12 credit cards and $35,000 in credit card debt.
I liken an addiction to a computer program that eats up a bunch of memory so everything else runs slowly. My brain was consistently having to deal with addiction, whether it was because I was thinking about when I would gamble next or I was worrying about the fact that I got an alert from my bank that I had an overdraft.
Once I got into recovery, I could be more present in my career. I could think more clearly. Being more present can only make you a better dietitian, [because] somebody is telling you something and you have to be listening for certain cues. It's very hard to do that when you've gotten two hours of sleep and you're thinking, "When am I going to get paid?"
Once my behavior got healthier, I was able to think, "Wow, now I can actually use my money toward things that I want to do." It could be for buying a home; it could be for starting my own business. If it weren't for recovery, that would never have happened. I would have gotten stuck on that treadmill of despair.

Telus and Koodo's exclusivity with the Moto G is about to come to an end as Virgin Mobile has announced that it is looking for people to join a "Virgin Mobile Tester Team." They want you to take a Moto G "for a spin" and give them four Twitter tips or tricks regarding the Moto G over the next four weeks. Use the hashtag #vmtester to get out your messages and as a thank you, the Moto G will be yours to keep. Just go to Virgin Mobiles' website (the link is at the end of the article) and apply for the job by telling them "in 100 words or less why you would be an awesome Virgin Mobile tester." If you are one of the lucky five selected as a tester, you can get yourself a free Moto G - not a bad deal at all.
The Moto G is an awesome piece of hardware for around $200 - when first announced, Motorola said they wanted to build a smartphone with deceit specs that people could afford...and I would say that their mission is accomplished. They said that many people could not afford the price of a new phone so they would take a hand-me-down or they were forced to buy a two-year old flagship that was, many times, out of date or looked used from the usual wear and tear. By offering the Moto G at $200, they were giving a customer the chance to purchase a brand new phone with good specs at a reasonable price.
The buyer is getting a 4.5-inch 720p display, a quad-core processor with a solid GPU, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, a decent 5MP camera and a 2070mAh battery to power the device. You will also get the latest OS in Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box. There is no microSD card expansion for additional internal storage and that may upset the media enthusiasts - but Google and Motorola are trying to encourage people store their media in the cloud for easy access on all of your devices.
So get to the Virgin Mobile website and fill out your application - you may be one of the lucky five selected to get yourself a FREE Moto G. Please let us know on our Google+ Page if you are looking forward to getting your hands on the new Moto G.


There is an article on Perl.com about how to display information from a database on a webpage with a minimum of code.
One of the most boring programming tasks in the world has to be pulling data out of a database and displaying it on a web site. Yet it's also one of the most ubiquitous. Perl programmers being lazy, there are tools to help make boring programming tasks less painful, and two of these tools, Class::DBI and the Template Toolkit, create a whole which is far more drudgery-destroying than its parts.

Two Foreigners Die of MERS in Jeddah
by Dr. Enozia Vakil on April 20, 2014 at 10:49 PM
Fear is rising over the spread of the dreaded respiratory virus as two foreigners have died of the MERS virus in the Saudi city of Jeddah.
The ministry said five more people were infected with the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome in the western city, including two foreign medics aged 54.
MERS Claims Life of a Foreigner in Saudi Arabia
The authorities of health ministry of Saudi Arabia have sought to calm fears over the spreading respiratory illness after a foreigner died from MERS.
The latest deaths of a 64-year-old and 44-year-old, whose nationalities were undisclosed, bring to 76 the overall number of people to have died of MERS in Saudi Arabia, from a total of 231 infections.
Panic over the spread of MERS among medical staff in Jeddah this month forced the temporary closure of a hospital emergency room, prompting Health Minister Abdullah al-Rabiah to visit the facility in a bid to calm the public.
64 Villagers in Malaysia Quarantined Over MERS Virus
64 people in a village in Malaysia have been quarantined after one of the residents died of a respiratory illness.
On Wednesday, at least four doctors at the King Fahd hospital reportedly resigned after refusing to treat MERS patients, apparently out of fear of infection.
MERS was initially concentrated in eastern Saudi Arabia but it now affects other areas.
The World Health Organisation said Thursday it had been told of 243 laboratory-confirmed cases of MERS infections worldwide, of which 93 have proved fatal.
The virus is considered a deadlier but less-transmissible cousin of the SARS virus that erupted in Asia in 2003 and infected 8,273 people, nine percent of whom died.
Experts are still struggling to understand MERS, for which there is no known vaccine.
A recent study said the virus has been "extraordinarily common" in camels for at least 20 years, and may have been passed directly from the animals to humans.
Foreigner Dies of MERS in Saudi, Report Sources
In the Saudi capital a foreigner has died after she contracted MERS, reports health ministry, bringing the nationwide death toll to 73.

Throughout these summer season months, with the extreme warmth, it is a good suggestion to eat gentle. Avoiding heavy, spicy foods will enable you retain a lighter constitution and a cooler temperature in your body. Ice cream is everyone's favorite summer deal with, but do you know a better consumption of dairy has been linked to pimples, prostate most cancers, and even larger rates of A number of Sclerosis (MS)? Instead, why not strive a few of these dairy free and healthy banana ice cream recipes ? Frozen bananas which can be blended create a smooth serve consistency, yet are made totally of fruit, in contrast to the sugar and dairy laden store bought ice cream. Have this as a dessert after a crisp summer time salad and you have yourself a cooling and nutritious meal.

And now, things are beginning to pile up… I still need to fiddle with Sorrento Sunrise for the RNA submission and i have 2 short stories i need to work on for an anthology thats being put together by my writing group. Im feeling totally uninspired to do any of that, because i have a little spark in my stomach…a small flicker of something thats telling me the urge to write is coming back, but i need to catch it. If i ignore it (which would be very easy to do) it will disappear and possibly not return for months.
Soooooo….ive decided to join in with the A-Z Challenge 🙂 And this year it will be totally fiction lol.
I loved doing the characters back in 2012, so this year i'll be posting a piece of fiction, every day, prompted by a word beginning with that particular days letter of the alphabet. Ive already got my words (i used an online random word generator) and some ideas are starting to form for A & B lol….but i haven't written anything, it will be done live, daily, thats the point…to get my brain working on a daily basis.
So i guess i'll see you, back here, bright and breezy on the 1st of April…exciting!

Delighted to see you back again Vikki. I was afraid you'd emigrated.
I know the feeling…. This year has been all about the teeth pulling when it comes to writing. In any case, good luck!
In my case? I admin for a fiction writers group of 4,000+ members, and am currently organizing a massive anthology project, plus helping another person with their similar project, haha… I'm doing too much "admin", "under the hood" stuff to be able to focus on writing…. Luckily I signed up for a charity anthology, so I started writing for that today.
Good luck honey, sounds like you have quite a bit on your plate!
Good luck to you too! You can do it. Sometimes we just have to scrape the crust off and power through.
You know I meant Baking? Stupid predictive texting!
Great to see you back at the writing desk. Good luck in the challenge.
Glad you've found a way to get your back in touch with your writing mojo! I've been very lax of late with blogging but have some fantastic new content to add now so I'll be starting it up again shortly, right after my book hits the virtual shelves next week.
Oooooo, exciting! Good luck with the book honey! I'll definitely be checking it out.
The thing is, you can't force it, because if its boring you, it will DEFINITELY bore your readers 😦 Hope to see you back blogging soon honey.
Hi Sydney *waves* how are you honey?
Oh wow, that's exciting!!!!! 🙂 good way to promote it!
Sorry for spelling you name wrong. Out of practice. You've been gone so long. haha.
I can't wait to read your A to Z random stories!
I thought about doing it this year, but I've got too much going on with the day job. 😦 I'll be following along, though! Have fun!
Hi CB! How are you honey?
sounds good – as you know I'm doing the challenge also – see you April 1!
As you know I am doing the challenge too – see you April 1!
Welcome back, honey! I take my hat off to you–from exhausted writer to enthusiastic A2Z blogger, wow! Good luck, and I'll look forward to reading your posts again. Rock on, Vikki!

Q: Каждый с каждым Допустим есть класс
class Team {

}

и мне нужно каким-либо образом обыграть это так, чтобы каждая команда из имеющегося у меня List<Team> (команда A, команда B, команда C, команда D) сражалась против другой команды (то есть A играют с B, потом с C, пока B играют с D), но при этом они не повторялись. Как правильно реализовать это в Java?

A: Максимально простой (тривиальный) способ:
Два вложенных цикла, первый (по индексу i) идет от первого до последнего элемента, вложенный (по индексу j) идет от следующего элемента (от i + 1) до последнего - тогда изначально не будет игр "сам с собой" и обратных повторений, и никакие "дубликаты" не нужно будет удалять.
public static void main(String[] args) {
    List<String> items = List.of("Команда 1", "Команда 2", "Команда 3", "Команда 4", "Команда 5");

    for (int i = 0; i < items.size(); i++) {
        for (int j = i + 1; j < items.size(); j++) {
            System.out.printf("%s играет с %s\n", items.get(i), items.get(j));
        }
    }
}

Вывод:
Команда 1 играет с Команда 2
Команда 1 играет с Команда 3
Команда 1 играет с Команда 4
Команда 1 играет с Команда 5
Команда 2 играет с Команда 3
Команда 2 играет с Команда 4
Команда 2 играет с Команда 5
Команда 3 играет с Команда 4
Команда 3 играет с Команда 5
Команда 4 играет с Команда 5

A: Не уверен как правильно, может есть более легкий способ. Но сразу в голову приходит воспользоваться коллекцией hashmap. Потому что это всегда очень быстрое и довольно универсальное решение. Код с объяснениями ниже:
public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        List<Team> list = new ArrayList<>();
        list.add(new Team("A"));
        list.add(new Team("B"));
        list.add(new Team("C"));
        list.add(new Team("D"));
        list.add(new Team("G"));
        play(list);

    }
    public static void play(List<Team>list){
        Map<Team, List<Team>> alreadyPlayed = new HashMap<>();
        //инициализация хэшмепа: команда: список команд, с которыми уже сыграла данная команда
        for(int i=0;i<list.size();i++)
            alreadyPlayed.put(list.get(i), new ArrayList<>());

        for(int i=0;i<list.size();i++)
            for(int j=0;j<list.size();j++)
            {
                if
                ((!list.get(i).equals(list.get(j)))             // проверка чтобы команда А не играла с командой А
                &&
                (!alreadyPlayed.get(list.get(i)).contains(list.get(j))) // проверка что команды еще не играли между собой
                )
            {
                    alreadyPlayed.get(list.get(i)).add(list.get(j));
                    alreadyPlayed.get(list.get(j)).add(list.get(i));
                    //добавление в хэшмеп инофрмации что команды между собой сыграли
                    System.out.println(list.get(i)+" plays with "+list.get(j));
                    //собственно игра
            }

    }
}
}

class Team {
    String name;

    public Team(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Team " + name;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean equals(Object o) {
        if (this == o) return true;
        if (o == null || getClass() != o.getClass()) return false;
        Team team = (Team) o;
        return Objects.equals(name, team.name);
    }
}

Вывод консоль:
Team A plays with Team B
Team A plays with Team C
Team A plays with Team D
Team A plays with Team G
Team B plays with Team C
Team B plays with Team D
Team B plays with Team G
Team C plays with Team D
Team C plays with Team G
Team D plays with Team G

Process finished with exit code 0

A: Чтобы игры не повторялись - логично воспользоваться коллекцией, которая самостоятельно отсекает повторения: Set
Собственно, "игра" в контексте задачи - это комбинация 2 команд. Единственное, что требуется - это обеспечить уникальность вне зависимости от расположения этих команд в игре. Для этого (дабы Set мог правильно отсекать дубликаты) следует перекрыть базовые методы equals() и hashCode():
    private record Team(String name) {
    }

    private record Game(Team team1, Team team2) {
        @Override
        public boolean equals(Object o) {
            if (this == o) return true;
            if (o == null || getClass() != o.getClass()) return false;
            Game game = (Game) o;
            return (team1.equals(game.team1) && team2.equals(game.team2))
                    || (team1.equals(game.team2) && team2.equals(game.team1));
        }

        @Override
        public int hashCode() {
            if (team1.name.compareTo(team2.name) >= 0)
                return Objects.hash(team1, team2);
            else
                return Objects.hash(team2, team1);
        }

        @Override
        public String toString() {
            return "Game{" +
                    "team1=" + team1 +
                    ", team2=" + team2 +
                    '}';
        }
    }

И теперь остается только создать все возможные комбинации игр и добавить их в Set, который самостоятельно отсечет дубликаты, основываясь на перекрытых методах:
public static void main(String[] args) {
        List<Team> teams = IntStream.range(1, 5)
                .boxed()
                .map(i -> new Team(i.toString()))
                .toList();

        Set<Game> games = teams.stream()
                .flatMap(team -> teams.stream().map(team1 -> new Game(team, team1)))
                .collect(Collectors.toUnmodifiableSet());

        games.forEach(
                game -> System.out.println(game.toString())
        );

    }

"Fit, Willing and Able" Policy Designed to Prevent Oklahoma Truck Accidents
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), which oversees the commercial trucking industry, has implemented a new policy called "Fit, Willing and Able," in an effort to reduce the risk of truck accidents on highways in Oklahoma and across the country. Despite federal and local efforts to protect the safety of Oklahoma motorists and prevent devastating trucking accidents however, collisions involving commercial trucks remain a major cause of serious injury and tragic loss of life in Oklahoma. If you have been injured in a truck accident in Oklahoma City, or elsewhere in Oklahoma, contact our qualified truck accident lawyers at AMA Law to discuss your legal options. You may have grounds to file a truck accident lawsuit against the person found at-fault in the accident, in order to pursue financial compensation for your injuries and accident-related losses.
CARRIERS MUST MEET FEDERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS
Oversized vehicles like commercial trucks and buses pose a considerable hazard to drivers on Oklahoma roadways, given their sheer size and weight – two factors that make serious injury and death more likely in the event of an Oklahoma truck accident. In an effort to curb Oklahoma truck accident injuries and deaths, the FMCSA regularly conducts safety inspections of all interstate truck and bus carriers, and carriers who fail to comply with federal safety regulations can have their licenses to operate revoked. Unfortunately, some trucking companies attempt to skirt FMCSA regulations by taking steps to reopen previously shut-down operations under new identities or affiliations. To combat this problem, federal regulators have introduced the "Fit, Willing and Able" policy, requiring commercial carriers to prove that they are ready, willing and able to to meet FMCSA safety standards before they are allowed to operate in the U.S.
OK TRUCKING COMPANIES EVALUATED BY FMCSA
The scrutiny of the FMCSA will focus on trucking companies that have had their permission to operate revoked or suspended within the last six years. In order to adequately evaluate these companies, federal regulators will draw on the following information:
The nature and severity of current and past violations
The cause of current and past violations, including whether they were caused by the company's failure to comply with safety regulations
The extent to which any violations have adversely affected safety, including any history of truck accidents, injuries or fatalities connected to the violations
Whether the FMCSA has taken any enforcement actions against the company
Whether there has been any corrective action regarding past or current violations
OUR TRUCK ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS CAN HELP
The FMCSA's new "Fit, Willing and Able" policy was implemented in an attempt to keep motorists in the United States safe from truck accidents caused by bad drivers, unsafe or poorly maintained trucks, and negligent trucking companies. Unfortunately, even with improved federal enforcement of safety regulations, devastating truck accidents occur far too often in Oklahoma and around the country. If you have suffered injuries in an Oklahoma truck accident, or if you lost a loved one in such an accident, contact our skilled truck accident attorneys at AMA Law to explore your compensation options. You may be entitled to reimbursement for your losses, which our truck accident lawyers can help you pursue by filing a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit against the allegedly negligent driver.


In my proposal I am responding to the theme of fusing natural and urban environment. I tried to find the shape of natural formation. We admire the wrinkles on the surfaces of twisted branches and roots, recording the movement of a growth of an organic structure. These formation were always the source of wonder for people igniting imagination, being collected and kept as an exceptional objects. Sculpture mimicking aged tree trunk and has a proportion of human figure in the position of Atlas, who in Greek mythology holds the sky above the ground.
I see the sculpture in a semi -reflective sky blue color. It connects the heaven and earth visually, as a materialized cloud. The surface also reflects the environment, thus the sculpture is anchored to the ground.

If there is one place that needs a really secure safety barrier, it is a viewpoint at more than 1,000 metres above sea level! When the spectacular Loen Skylift was constructed between 2015 and 2017, Q-railing's Easy Glass Max was considered the natural choice for a public area at the top of Mount Hoven. The frameless balustrade system is as tough as they come. It can easily cope with wintery mountain conditions and line loads of more than 5 kN/m. But, just as importantly, its near-invisible structure ensures uninterrupted views.
On 20 May 2017, one of Norway's most impressive tourist attractions was officially opened amidst the spectacular beauty of the fjords. The Loen Skylift is the world's steepest cable car. It transports you from sea level all the way up to the summit of Mount Hoven in just 5 minutes. That is an ascent of more than 1,000 metres. At the top, visitors are greeted by a mountain station with a restaurant. This incredible place provides a 210-degree panoramic view of Mount Skåla, Lake Lovatnet, the Jostedal Glacier and the Nordfjord.
Construction in such an exposed and inaccessible location presents challenges. But the incredible views from Mount Hoven were crying out for a building that provides both excitement and safety. Oslo-based project architects Eva Eide Koefoed were determined not to compromise on either of those things. Working with a team from local practice Aaland Arkitektkontor, they decided to equip the restaurant's roof-top deck with a high-quality frameless balustrade. It allows the public to fully enjoy the setting while remaining totally secure.
Q-railing's Easy Glass Max glass railing system was identified as the most suitable solution. Successfully tested against line loads of up to 5 kN/m, it can easily cope with the high wind speeds that occur at the top of the mountain. And given that Max consists mainly of glass, it is guaranteed to give visitors a stunning 'fjord experience'. Installer Bolseth Glass mounted 75 metres of the frameless balustrade and topped it with a 60-mm cap rail in stainless steel. Hexagon-head anchors allowed them to make small positioning adjustments in a convenient way, even still during the installation.

What do we see in a curve of steel, a line of chrome, a sweep of glass? That rich lacquer and the depths of red paint? All those specular distortions. The Victorian facades of Main Street, Ft. Bragg, lie in the background and as a faint reflection in the white half of the quarter panel. Those times have faded. We're now firmly in the era of speed and space. The geometry of the classic Detroit iron is all about curves and lines, flares and folds. We see a haughty optimism. An almost narcissistic hubris that would so quickly fall pieces in the decade to come. But look at us here. Proud and patriotic. It was, after all, our boldness and technology that just led a world at war. California is the land of the possible and the land of the dream. Why not join us out here in Bel Air? Swimming pools and movies stars. The platinum triangle where palm trees sway gently in a ocean breeze. This was the fantasy that General Motors was selling at the time when this marvel was created - by the hands of the men and women of Michigan, which is a corruption of an Ojibwe word meaning big water. How fitting. There is nothing more promising as a vast expanse of water.

There was a time when a physical package would both evoke a feeling *and* provide for easy accessibility to goods. Form not over function, but in service to it. The glass Coke bottle may have been the most perfect package.
Take this beauty I rescued from the ground on Mt. Tamalpais recently. This is a prime example of the so-called hobble-skirt Coke that's become an indelible American icon. Produced between 1917 and 1965, these aqua, ice blue and green glass bottles are heavy, tactile and fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. This one has the classic city stamp, San Francisco, embossed on the bottom. It's a 6.5 oz bottle, which means it dates from between 1958 and 1965.
One can imagine that for a brief period of time, long before it was tossed aside (probably from the window of a passing car), this indestructible wonder sat nestled in a bed of ice cubes in one of those red galvanized steel coolers you see now only in antique stores. Some rebellious teenager in cuffed dungarees and a white tee-shirt reaches into the cold, dark tomb and plucks out the icy bottle. With a flick of the wrist that is now a lost art he pops the top with that no longer familiar click, snap, fizz, tinkle and tilts his head back for a pull on the real thing – the pause that refreshes.
My grandfather, now 92, used to brag about how he'd poor Coke into my baby bottle. I was literally raised on the stuff. It was unfashionable to breast feed back in 1965. For me, Coca-Cola was the closest thing to mother's milk. There is nothing that evokes a hot summer day like an ice cold Coke. Hold the cool bottle against your brow and lean back on the machine in the shade. At 6.5 ounces this was basically a shooter. A perfect dose of summertime.
I shot this with a Canon Digital Elph point-and-shoot and what I love about the photo are the three diagonal lines. You've got the beautiful lichen covered stone cutting across the foreground. The wedge of grass behind. The pie slice of the dark forest, and then of course the cobalt sky. I find triangles to be aesthetically pleasing and when I can I frame shots to create as many as possible. I love this photograph. Tell me how it makes you feel.

Shan, Tong, Cao, Tang, Xu, Yu, Chen (2019) The Effect of Decomposed PbI2 on Microscopic Mechanisms of Scattering in CH3NH3PbI3 Films Nanoscale research letters 14(1) 208
Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) exhibit long electronic carrier diffusion length, high optical absorption coefficient, and impressive photovoltaic device performance. At the core of any optoelectronic device lie the charge transport properties, especially the microscopic mechanism of scattering, which must efficiently affect the device function. In this work, CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI3) films were fabricated by a vapor solution reaction method. Temperature-dependent Hall measurements were introduced to investigate the scattering mechanism in MAPbI3 films. Two kinds of temperature-mobility behaviors were identified in different thermal treatment MAPbI3 films, indicating different scattering mechanisms during the charge transport process in films. We found that the scattering mechanisms in MAPbI3 films were mainly influenced by the decomposed PbI2 components, which could be easily generated at the perovskite grain boundaries (GBs) by releasing the organic species after annealing at a proper temperature. The passivation effects of PbI2 in MAPbI3 films were investigated and further discussed with emphasis on the scattering mechanism in the charge transport process.

Nothing can keep Susan Lucci down for long, whether it's a heart attack or gravity.
A day after revealing she nearly died of a heart attack in the fall, the soap opera legend took a tumble on the runway at the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women fashion show on Thursday and got right back to her feet with a smile.
Lucci, 72, stepped on part of her elaborate red dress on the runway at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City and plopped to her backside.
Former NBC News correspondent Mara Schiavocampo tweeted out a video of the scene, noting that Lucci showed "tremendous grace" in recovering from the flub.
Lucci had a sense of humor about it, getting back to her feet and blowing kisses to the crowd as they gave her a standing ovation.
Her tumble came a day after the longtime "All My Children" star revealed to People magazine that she is "lucky to be alive" after undergoing emergency heart surgery in the fall.
She had been experiencing shortness of breath while shopping in Manhasset, New York, and was taken to an emergency room, where a CT scan revealed she was having a heart attack, often referred to as a "widowmaker."
There was a 90 percent blockage in her heart's main artery and a 70 percent blockage in another area.
Lucci had a pair of stents put into her arteries to increase blood flow back to the heart, and her doctor told People that her heart is now "pumping as good as when she was born."
In the aftermath of her heart attack, she signed on to become a spokesperson for the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women campaign to raise awareness about heart disease, which is the No. 1 killer of women in the U.S.
She was participating in the fashion show on Thursday in that capacity when she handled her minor mishap with aplomb.
Lucci is using her platform to educate others, particularly during February since it's American Heart Health Month.
"I'm not a nurse or anyone who can help in any real way," she told People. "This is the way I can help. I can tell my story. Everyone's symptoms are different but I felt compelled to share mine. Even if it's one person I help. That is someone's life."


Today begins a long weekend of guitar related posts starting with a great set of solo recordings that range from the acoustic to the very electric.
The adjective that repeatedly comes to mind is 'otherworldly'. Baltimore's Susan Alcorn has a concept and approach to the pedal steel guitar that rips the instrument out of its typical role and casts it in a whole new light. On Soledad she takes it one step further as she arranges the work of the Argentinian composer and accordionist Astor Piazzolla, who was renowned for his compositions that combined tango, jazz and classical.
Alcorn draws an expansive set of sounds from her instrument - from comfortable country glissandos to Theremin like science fiction noir effects. The shimmering earnestness of the instrument is used to full effect in her arrangements that probe the depths and textures of the songs. The stately title track begins with her guitar sounding much like an organ. The melody, delivered in a slow, dark, and deliberate manner grabs and tugs at the heart. The following 'Invierno Porteno' also begins enshrouded by dark clouds but they soon part to the rhythms of the tango. Throughout the recording we hear Alcorn deconstructing, examining, and then reprising the songs, unhurried and always mindful of the original melody. Bassist Michael Formanek joins on Alcorn's composition "Suite for Ahl". Switching between plucking and bowing, his playing adds a weight to the guitars more ephemeral abstractions.
For something completely new and challenging, but still accessible, and again, otherworldly beautiful, give Soledad a listen. I hope we will be hearing more from Alcorn soon.
Ross Hammond's Flight finds the guitarist taking a departure from the trajectory of his free jazz quartet work with adventurous players like Vinny Golia, Stuart Liebig and Alex Cline, and the larger band composition that he assembled for last year's expansive Humanity Suite, and getting back to the roots of just his 6 and 12 string acoustic guitars.
Certainly drawing inspiration from archetypes like Robbie Basho and contemporaries like James Blackshaw, Hammond arranges traditional chestnuts (Nobody Knows the Troubles I've Seen, You Are My Sunshine, On the Rock Where Moses Stood) and his own contemporary pieces (Womuts!, Seven Years Later, I Still Remember You) brings to them a spark, energy and earthiness that anyone who appreciates the magic of the acoustic guitar, in the right hands, will enjoy.
Hammond's solo playing is fresh and flowing and he varies the rhythmic patterns and chord voicings with care. Some standout moments include the syncopated rhythms of 'Alecia' and the dar and brooding 'Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen'. The latter delivered in a way you've probably not heard before, featuring some devastating slide work.
Flight was made on a handheld digital recorder, incidental background sounds (like Hammond's family) can be heard behind the rich tone of his guitar. Lovely.
Downstairs at the Jazz Standard, cast against the steel blue walls and red velvet covered sound tiles, Julian Lage's trio with bassist Scott Colley and drummer Eric Harland delivered a masterful set. There is an effortless connection between the guitarists physical being and the music coming out of him - the guitar is simply an appendage. Whether luxuriating in the folky whimsy of Harlem Nocturn - Lage sounding a bit Frisellian on an eggshell telecaster, or getting into the knotty trio arrangements of tunes from his solo album, there is a hypnotic interplay between the musicians.
Stepping back from this trio work, Lage's duo work of late - with both pianist Fred Hersh and Nels Cline - has produced some wonderful musical moments. So, where does one go after the intimate conversational quality of a duo? One direction is to go even more intimate - a solo album. Contemplative, austere, thoughtful yet still encompassing the vigor of the duo work, World's Fair is a highly recommended album for fans of solo guitar work based in a more classical approach.
Precision and focus are palpable forces at play, and in Lage's hands these qualities add to the openness and tunefulness of the music. From the opener '40's' where open chords and contrapuntal bass notes ease the listener in, to the rhythmic playfulness of 'Peru' or the folk leanings of 'Missouri', and finally to the subversive tones woven into 'Double Stops', Lage leaves no feeling unexplored. Wistfulness, yearning, contentment and determination all play wonderfully in Worlds Fair.
Experimental guitarist, sound sculptor and producer David Torn doesn't release a lot of records under his own name - Levin, Torn, White was from 2011, and his previous ECM release Prezens was from 2007. However there's a good chance you can hear his work on soundtracks, in commercials and as a producer of many recordings. A master of effects and studio work, one can be pretty sure that even a solo guitar effort is not going to be a straightforward offering.
That notion is certainly supported by the atmospheric opener 'At Least There Was Nothing' where the combination of effects, the electric oud and guitar come together in a slowly unfolding and rather spooky way. The preconception falls apart a bit during the gorgeous 'Spoke With Folks', an evocative song with a folk like flavor that eventually turns into a loop laden improvisation. On 'Ok, Shorty' a crystalline melody is etched on a shimmering background, the dark textural shadings create a melancholic tension that blankets the track. Next comes along 'Was a Cave, There ...', a 12 minute expanse of bubbling electronics and fragmented loops. 'I Could Almost See the Room' contrasts soaring melodic lines with droning loops and the spectral and beautiful title track proceeds at deliberate pace, punctuated with sharp attacks and lulling spaces.
Torn's music has a pulse of its own, outside of meter and groove, as space, time and texture are used shape the provocative tracks. He uses minimal prerecorded materials, opting to create his collages of song and sound in real-time. Only Sky is a dark and moving album, a lovely document from an artist from whom we both hear a lot, and not enough.
Haven't heard the latest David Torn but he always turns up with something interesting. I guess he's (sort of) the Jimi Hendrix for adult listeners.
One of the best things he did was a performance by the Prezens band at the Vortex which was broadcast by the BBC. At the time Torn said it was better than the album and he'd like to see it as his next release, but as far as I'm aware it never happened. Thankfully, I recorded it.
I should have said Joe - you have mail.
