Survey shows how people now feel about lockdown in Wales and if they're still sticking to rules
One in three people admit to 'bending' or breaking the rules during the level 4 lockdown
Laura ClementsSenior Reporter
While more than half of people think it's right that Wales is in an alert level four lockdown, a third also admit to "bending" or breaking the rules.
These are the findings from a WalesOnline survey which asked people what they thought about the government response to the coroanvirus pandemic and the current regulations in place.
The answers reveal that out of all four national leaders, you think Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has done the best job when it comes to dealing with the coronavirus crisis. The Welsh First Minister, Mark Drakeford, is considered marginally more competent compared to the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson.
Even so, the majority of people believe the Welsh Government were barely prepared for the second wave of the pandemic and there is little confidence that the vaccination roll out in Wales will meet the targets set earlier this week by Health Minister, Vaughan Gething.
The survey, which was answered by 6,728 people, ran the day before the alert level four restrictions were extended to the end of January and on the day Mr Drakeford warned there was "not much room for change".
How do you rate the Welsh Government's performance in handling the coronavirus pandemic?
On a scale of one to five, only one-in-ten people rate the Welsh Government's performance in handling the pandemic as five.
Half of you rank the government as either three or four out of five while 15% score it two and 25% give it the lowest score possible.
In September, before the start of the second wave, a YouGov poll showed that 20% of people thought the Welsh Government had handled the pandemic "very well".
Has your opinion on this changed since the first lockdown in March?
A third of people think the Welsh Government isn't handling the pandemic now as well as it did back in March when the entire UK went into a national lockdown.
A further 23% believe the Welsh Government has "always done a bad job" and hasn't changed as the pandemic has progressed.
Just 13% believe the people in charge are doing a better job now when compared to March while 27% say they believe they've been doing a good job ever since day one.
Is it right that Wales is in Alert Level 4 lockdown?
After the confusion about whether Wales would or would't be going into a level four lockdown before Christmas, more than half believe it was the right approach.
Mr Drakeford explained at the time that the latest information on the new strain of coronavirus required an immediate response. Yet 18% believe the tighter restrictions go too far.
Nearly a quarter of people however believe the restrictions don't go far enough and would be happy to see measures tightened.
Since the survey ran, Mr Drakeford has subsequently announced further rules and laws that supermarkets and workplaces must obey, which you can read here.
Should schools be closed?
On January 7, it was announced that schools in Wales would stay shut until February and would be unlikely to reopen until after half term.
Three-quarters of people agree with this measure and believe it is right to close schools in Wales. However, nearly a fifth of people believe they should remain open.
It means some pupils will have missed nearly an entire year of school, leading some to question whether pupils in Wales should just redo the whole year.
Which national leader do you think has done the best job in dealing with the coronavirus crisis?
Nicola Sturgeon, the Scottish First Minister, is widely regarded as the best national leader when it comes to handling the pandemic. Mark Drakeford comes in second according to our survey while Mr Johnson is ranked third.
Ms Sturgeon was the first to announce that schools in Scotland would be closed until February and Wales followed suit a few days layer.
Was the Welsh Government adequately prepared for the second wave?
The majority of people - 70% - believe the Welsh Government was not adequately prepared for the second wave of the pandemic.
Only 16% of people think the government was ready while 14% said they didn't know.
Figures show that Wales has passed two sobering coronavirus death toll milestones and it's almost certain there has been a greater loss of life with Covid-19 in the second wave than in the first.
Are you still sticking to lockdown rules?
Nearly two thirds of people are sticking to every rule during the level four lockdown, despite the tightening of restrictions.
Nearly a fifth admit to bending the rules however, while 15% say they largely ignore the rules. There have been numerous occasions since Christmas where police have fined people for breaching the coronavirus regulations including eight women from separate households who met up to walk their dogs together at Pontsticill.
What are you most concerned about in terms of the pandemic's impact?
The overwhelming worry among people in Wales is that the virus will harm or kill someone close to them, or already has done, which 56% of people reported as feeling.
Mental health impacts and the economic impacts are the joint second biggest concerns, with 26% of people saying they were their biggest concerns.
One in ten people say the impact on their children's education and/or well being is their main worry while some people provided their own answers, which ranged from not seeing friends and family and the impacts on civil liberty.
How confident are you that the vaccine will be rolled out in a timely manner?
Just 4% of people say they are very confident that the vaccine will be rolled out in a timely manner.
More than a quarter of people say they are not confident at all that the vaccines will be delivered on time with 27% ranking their confidence just one on a scale of one to five.
Confidence around vaccines is reported to be quite low, with 25% scoring two and 29% scoring three out of five.
Official figures show Wales is lagging behind the rest of the UK when it comes to the number of jabs it has administered.
Has the coronavirus pandemic made you feel differently about Welsh independence?
People in Wales are split fairly evenly three ways about how the coronavirus pandemic has affected their views on Welsh independence.
While 39% say they are now less in favour of independence, 30% say they are more so while 31% say their views are unchanged.
How do you feel you are financially placed get through this lockdown compared to the first one?
Finally, when it comes to finance, two thirds of people say their financial position hasn't really changed since the first lockdown.
Nearly a quarter however say they are struggling and the current lockdown will leave them in a worse financial position compared to the first.
There have been some success stories however- read how a welder, a student and an insurance broker have managed to set up thriving Cardiff businesses under lockdown here.


Doesn't look good. Blew the freakin' thing in half right at the hinge joint after only eight rounds. He showed the serial number and it wasn't under the barrel recall. Possibly an ammo issue, but he said he checked the rounds before firing and they were fine. Quality ammo, too. Speer Gold Dot 9mm 124gr standard pressure.
Only 6 rounds and Sub2000 broke!
And, before anyone complains that I'm bashing Kel-Tec or something… These failures also don't actually look like KABOOMs in the sense that the rifle blew up. It seems they just cracked right through the polymer receiver halves.
Consider this a Public Safety Announcement, especially for new owners.
I take these stories with a heavy grain of "no idea what the user was doing when it happened." Not saying his gun didn't blow up, but I can't speak intelligently about it since I wasn't there and don't know what circumstances led to the catastrophic failure. All I know is that one small explosion doesn't detract from the 1000s of other success stories.
Read the KTOG thread in the link. At least three others suffered the same type of failure very recently. That's called a trend and it's worth mentioning. And, no, it didn't blow up. I clarified that above. It fractured right through the polymer halves.
I read it. I'm not disputing mentioning it either. I'm saying the people in the thread trashing Kel-Tec with no background on what really happened are ridiculous.
Ah, got it. I just thought I'd post it here as a PSA.
Are all the failures with tan (OD) colored models? I got mine in October 2018 in black and no problems.
At least two of those were brand new and failed in less than 10 rounds.
Looks that way. That and the green versions. I got my Gen 2 in black around October 2017 and have 2000+ rounds through it with no issues other than having to go back for the barrel recall.
@Wedge material design change then… it happens. just be vigilant.
I've been following this for about 6 weeks. Here are my observations.
I have yet to hear of a black polymer gun splitting.
And, I was surprised to note that the colored guns which have split are actual colored polymer versus the Cerakoted black polymer which had been Kel Tec's approach to delivering guns that aren't black right up until guns started splitting at low round counts.
I am sorta anticipating another recall, but this time limited to late production colored polymer. Given that the splits started appearing last November, I expect Kel Tec is hard at work revising the polymer recipes so that they that they can replace and return the guns in a reasonable time window. It should be an entirely new set of impacted serial numbers.
ETA:. @TriggerHappy … Watch for news … if you ask nice and promise not to use them as grip halves … KT may just be sitting on a sizeable inventory of parts that will support your many mag projects that they may let go cheap if you catch them before KT destroys them.
Why do they even need to do that? Just leave things as they were. Go back to the "good polymer" before these failures started happening. And, from what I understand, Kel-Tec is more of an assembler than an actual manufacturer. They farm a ton of their stuff out. And, that includes polymer parts, which I found surprising since they're such a polymer company at the core. They don't make their own barrels, either, at least for the S2K. Kel-Tec had zero clue about the bad barrels. They only issued the recall after their barrel supplier fessed up about the improper heat treating.
KT may just be sitting on a sizeable inventory of parts that will support your many mag projects that they may let go cheap if you catch them before KT destroys them.
Hey @Dred this is really intriguing - are you just speculating or do you have some definite knowledge of this? I paid $50 for a pair of black grips and color was $75 and would definitely be interested in some more of any color for cheap!
@TriggerHappy no way Kel-Tec let's bad parts into the wild on purpose.
(Knocking on wood) I have a gen 2 SUB2000 in green and have ran at least 100 rounds thru it with no problems at all.
I have newer fde. From what I read, yours and mine would have cracked by now.

Curtis Pashelka on the San Jose Sharks
With Goldobin's season over in Finland, where's his next destination?
Posted on March 30, 2015 by Curtis Pashelka
Sharks have the day off today and therefore no media access, but there is a little something to ponder.
Helsinki IFK's season is over in the Finnish Elite League, and so the Sharks will decide in the next few days what they would like to do with 2014 first round draft pick Nikolay Goldobin. Add him to the Worcester roster, where the WorSharks — winners of five straight — are attempting to hold on to a playoff spot. Or bring him up to the Big Club to give him a taste of the NHL and see how far he's come since training camp, where he was one of the last cuts. If he's brought to the NHL, that would burn a year of his entry level contract, not a small thing to consider.
Goldobin put up solid numbers in his first season of professional hockey, with 11 goals and 10 assists in 38 regular season games. He also had one goal and six assists in nine playoff games. Playing for Russia at the World Junior Championships, he had five points in seven games.
Goldobin shined at times in Sharks training camp, particularly early on when he was on a line with Barclay Goodrow and Chris Tierney. But it was clear by the end of the exhibition season (or even before) that he needed time to develop, both physically and on the ice. The Sharks decided, mostly at the behest of Goldobin's agent, Igor Larionov, that it would be best for the teenager to go overseas to play rather than return to Sarnia of the OHL.
What do you think is best for Goldobin, and the Sharks?

Q: Why libxml2 uses "BAD_CAST" everywhere in a C/C++ code? It's said that because libxml2 uses unsigned char as storage to make encoding/decoding between char sets convenient ---- isn't it ugly to force users to write "BAD_CAST" everywhere in the code, when reading/creating xml node names, contents, text nodes, etc.
It there a way to avoid writing such "BAD_CAST" everywhere? The design is really so bad.

A: This design decision is unfortunate, but rooted in another unfortunate choice made 40 years ago: allowing char to be potentially signed by default, which is inconsistent with the behavior of getchar(), strcmp()...
You can use an inline function to convert from char * to unsigned char * and vice-versa with a single hidden cast, and use these when passing arguments:
static inline unsigned char *c2uc(char *s) { return (unsigned char*)s; }
static inline char *uc2c(unsigned char *s) { return (char*)s; }

These wrappers are much safer to use than basic casts as they can only be applied to one type and convert to its unsigned counterpart.  Regular casts are problematic as they can be applied to any type and hide type conversion errors.  static inline functions are expanded by the compiler at no runtime cost.

The Cords&Co, a fashion brand devoted to corduroy commissioned In Praise of Shadows Architects in Stockholm to develop a concept for their physical presence as well as the design for their first set of stores in Stockholm. Paris, London, LA and NY. The first to open with the launch of the brand was Stockholm, Paris and London. The deep space has been given a diversification in character to create a spatial sequence from the street to the garden in the back. The classic London Store front is kept and brought inside for the window display that is also painted black. The first part of the space is dominated by an old mantelpiece that is colored black and fitted with shelves this is mirrored and the space widened by the mirror wall. Cashier and display table of brass with a neon mirror installation, mirroring neon "cords", is the focus of the space. The back part of the store is fitted with MDF closing the space and framing the view to the garden in the back.

There is no sustainability without innovation, nor can any innovation exist that is not sustainable. The new energy scene is forcing utilities and producers to change business criteria and models, and innovation has become the only way to stay on the market, let alone compete with others.
The list of Enel innovations is long and its cutting-edge solutions and products involve the whole energy supply chain and all energy sources. Particularly important Group innovations include the electronic meter and the smart metering systems that followed its creation, as well as ultra-supercritical boilers, and fume reduction systems at thermal power plants, AMIS systems at geothermal facilities and charging stations for electric cars, including fast charge technology.
In the digital age, not only large research centres and multinational companies, but also start-ups, small businesses and even individual inventors create new solutions and realise ideas that revolutionise entire markets. Today, innovation is the result of interaction between different groups, and its development forms a global network of relations in which big business and makers have become partners.
Open innovation is a new model developed with the philosophy that good ideas can come from anywhere, and for multinationals this applies both in their relations with start-ups and innovative businesses and within the company itself. Thanks to its open innovation, Enel is adopting new green technologies – well-known examples include the R115 marine generator conceived and manufactured by 40South Energy and the Trinum thermodynamic cogeneration system developed by Innova – while also creating solutions that target a number of fields in the energy sector that originate from the creativity and expertise of Group employees.
Enel's corporate crowdsourcing has already led to innovations like the 'briefcase' that monitors the functioning of meters and the chip that remotely checks consumer consumption conceived by Ampla's employees in Brazil. It also brought about the 241 ideas for improve the efficiency of hydro facilities in Spain, which were proposed by 85 Endesa employees and carried out within the Busca y Encuentra Mejoras initiative.

There is a lake named Kuori in the land of forest ponds and impassable thickets. Its smooth surface conceals a complicated terrain full of deep cavities. The lake is rich in underwater fauna and is perfectly suited for different methods of bank fishing and fishing from a boat. The fine architecture and cozy ambiance of the fishing base deserve special mention. Besides, there is a boat station at the lake.
To access this water body you have to be level 16.
This little buddy did good on Kuori today.
guys any tips on bream fishing on kuori lake?
I've caught them while casting from the narrow rock point extending out just to the left of dock. Look at map and cast toward the deeper water. I was using pearl barley and worms (bloodworms I think).
Wow. Grats on that rare.
Lets get serious now. We need exact location/time/weather/temperature/setup/bait and/or lure/skills/hook quality/hook size/contacts of the dev you bribed.
I'm guessing you all are using wobblers for these screen shots of really full keep nets?
really...can anyone tell us location and setup?
i think they are trolling but idk anything else.
Agreed. Three days of trolling (three!!!) and this is my poor net (the 3kg pike, the burbot and the sevan were not on trolling but from the shore in a moment of frustration). Seriously... I'm concerned. I made a wide rotation of my lures but so few bites and no trout or salmon at all. Where is the fish gone???
I'm going back to Old Burg, at least there's some fish there.
Play for 40 min, press "C", close the game.
yup those two 10 kg set ups i made out for kouri are perfect for those 500g fish.
hmm is that the change that affects the catching of fish on kouri entirely?
Nice update. Kuori is dead?
to be honest i think they already fixed just had a really good run in kuori. 1 hour and half full keep net, made 200 silver. had some 5-7 kg arctic char and a 4 kg kuori char. nothing crazy but i think its back to normal.
After small update yesterday evening it is all back as it was.
Thank god for that... I thought it was just me.. I know Kouri is hard work but damn..
Well done, I knew Kuori had some treasures! How long did that thing fight you around the lake though?
There is no more pikes to eat vendace, so vendace are taking their place and are becoming dangerous predators, simple natural thing.
I'm sure developers must be aware of people teleporting back to city while fishing at west lake's bank. Its really bad feeling fighting big fish for 20 mins just to spawn in city with message Fish Got Away. Just making sure its said on forums. Sorry for a post if it was mentioned already and thanks for other wise great game!
It happens at Old Burg too. Lesson learnt, when fighting a fish I try to ALWAYS stay far from the banks.
I hope you are not talking about falling into water. Because its two different things. I have fell into water at burg. But Kouri's west bank near rocks are super sketchy. Twitches and bumps of camera view too. Than boom out of no where you re back at city.
A happy night ending came with a sweet depth monster!!!
We need more of this kind of Pictures and Videos, this is quite inspiring for the game and motivating. Lets keep on posting them and make this forums super fun to visit and a learning experience for others who visit them. Remember no one is really favored in trophies, its just sheer luck. So i would even request if we all posted what locations if possible we caught these monsters at and what setups we used to catch them as provided by blood01.
Loving the trophies btw. And its always fun to see other players catching those monsters. So lets share it all guys.
Damn I would be scared to put that 19kg line on that reel, so in case you get spooled what breaks because even the leader is stronger than reel? Is the wear of a reel bigger? How strong of a line do you think I can put on my 10kg Syberia reel?
according to me u can put upto 15kg line on that mate. Well yeah the chances of the reel braking are high, but may be only the trophy Kuori char might have that power to spool it tht much. Not for sure tho. And yah on that syberia reel with a 15kg line you will get quite enough distance no worries.
Nice trophies mate what lure?
How do you calculate that kind of stuff, so I'm safe to put a bit heavier line on my feeder with sabre 10kg and persex 16.5kg rod?
U can keep 15kg and ull be completely safe. If u have a heavier rod u can go to 19kgs just be sure u use the braided lines. Just keep in mind that line shuldnt exceed reel max drag x 2 and max rod strength. Tight lines angler and join some twitch channels too ull get to learn alot. I think ladyofgames going live tonight on twitch.
I will add for the sake of safety that wear % on a reel (and rod/line too) will reduce its max drag power by the same weight in %. So a 10Kg reel with 10% wear will have reduced drag down to 9kg that means 18kg max tolerance. That's why it will break if you put a 0% wear 19kg line on it and the fish spools you.
I have to say I like the RF4 gearing syestem. It is complex and requires some maths and calculations to outfit your rods correctly and mantain them. It requires some meta gaming, but I would like more infos on the hooks. Infact they could be used as weakest part of a setup to control how the entire setup will behave under heavy stress. But there is no way to know the exact breaking point of a hook based on quality. That could save a lot of head aches to spinning users because it could eventually save the expensive lures. Also I would like to see the introduction of terminals on rigs. It's common habit in fishing to put a lower test line at the end of the mother tackle so you will break it first by only losing that segment plus the hook. In a certain measure we can already do that with leaders, but that cuts away float fishing rigs and feeder rigs.
More informations, complexity and realism are welcome.
Hey Smilies I feel you . Some days Kuori looks dead. And it's not fish migration. Simply fish go apathetic and wont bite, no matter what, where and how. I think there are two main cases it can happen.

Rapper T.I. partners will pay $100,000 in FLiK's case to the Securities and Exchange Commission
The agreement with the SEC came after the three were charged in September with "fraudulent and unregistered" involvement in the ICO.
Three associates of Clifford Joseph Harris Jr., a rapper also known as T.I. who was responsible for helping launch the FLiK token, have agreed to pay over $100,000 after a U.S. district court approved a settlement.
According to records filed Nov. 17 in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Chance White, Owen Smith and William Sparks Jr. will pay $102,992 in a settlement that will cover fines, fees and displeasure over their role in selling tokens in FLiK and CoinSpark's initial coin offerings, or ICO. T.I., a rapper, singer and songwriter, has won three Grammy Awards and has had several hits, including "Whatever You Like and Live Your Life.
The world's leading cryptomoney futures market could face strong regulatory pressure
The SEC announced the charges against the three in September along with Ryan Felton, founder of video producer AVA, and T.I., claiming that the ICOs were "fraudulent and unregistered. Sparks, who is T.I.'s social network manager, was charged with violating registration provisions by allegedly selling FLiK tokens on the rapper's social network accounts.
White and Smith, both involved in the Atlanta film industry, were charged with violating registration and anti-tourism provisions for allegedly promoting CoinSpark without revealing that they were being paid for their support of the token.
Outgoing director of the SEC's Corporate Finance Division boasts about the commission's progress in one of his last speeches in office
The trio reached an agreement at that time, which was approved by the court on Tuesday. The SEC's case against Felton reportedly remains ongoing, while the commission ordered T.I. to pay a $75,000 fine and not to participate in any offerings or sales of digital asset securities for at least five years.
FLiK was one of many tokens announced during the 2017 ICO boom. When the token was launched in September, Felton declared on social networks that FLiK would register "tremendous growth in one year" and would be redeemable for $14.99 in 15 months. However, the price of the token only peaked at $0.21 on October 17 and is currently trading at $0.000289 according to CoinMarketCap.
US crypto lobby defends self-hosted wallets and peer-to-peer transactions from alleged government repression
In 2018, a group of 25 investors named Felton and T.I. in a class action suit accusing them of carrying out a pump and dump plan with FLiK by promoting the token using misleading information and celebrity support.
The class's legal team modified the lawsuit, including comedian Kevin Hart for his alleged role. A U.S. district judge dismissed the lawsuit against T.I. earlier this year, stating that he found no concrete evidence of values violations or negligent misrepresentation regarding the rapper promoting FLiK.

Bay Area expected to unleash power
He Shusi/Li Bingcun
Updated: Aug 16,2018 7:11 AM China Daily
Vice-Premier Han Zheng, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and head of the leading group on construction of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, presides over a meeting of the group in Beijing, capital of China, Aug 15, 2018.[Photo/Xinhua]
Vice-Premier Han Zheng said on Aug 15 that the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area must fully utilize the advantages of the "one country, two systems" principle. It also must unleash the integrated power of Guangdong province and the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions, Han said.
The member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China outlined instructions, chairing the first official meeting of the nation's top decision-making unit on the area's development-the leading group for the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
Implementation of the Greater Bay Area is a national strategy planned and deployed by Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, Han said.
Development of the city cluster, consisting of nine mainland cities and two special administrative regions, should uphold "one country, two systems" and strictly adhere to the national Constitution and the Basic Law-the constitutional documents of the Hong Kong and Macao SARs.
Implementation of the Bay Area development must stay committed to the basis of "one country", and leverage well the benefits of "two systems", Han said.
Promoting high-quality development means to fully utilize the integrated advantages of Guangdong and the two SARs in order to develop the region into a world-class city cluster with international competitiveness, and to facilitate the country's overall and long-term development, including the Belt and Road Initiative, Han said.
The central government will support Hong Kong's effort to develop into an international innovation and technology center, and support Macao's development as a center of traditional Chinese medical science and technology, Han said. It also will grow the Bay Area into an innovation center.
Han stressed the importance of innovation, all-around coordination, environmental protection, openness and cooperation for mutual benefits and people's better livelihood in the development of Bay Area.
Han said the national development strategy serves as a key platform for Hong Kong and Macao's integration into national development. It also will facilitate new opportunities for their residents, especially youth, and maintain long-term prosperity and stability there. It will inject stronger vitality to the Pearl River Delta and drive the development of neighboring cities, Han added.
This was the first time that the chief executives of the two SARs-Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor and Fernando Chui Sai-on-were included in the country's top decision-making units.
Welcoming the arrangement, Lam said development of the Bay Area relies on institutional innovation and policy breakthroughs. She said it is the kind of innovation needed, and it allows them to directly participate in top-level decision-making for the region and the comprehensive coordination of the central government.
"The Hong Kong SAR government will give full play to that presence as well as Hong Kong's advantages to better integrate the city into the national development," Lam said.
Chui stressed that the Bay Area plan means unprecedented development opportunities. The Macao SAR government will fully cooperate with the country's arrangement and participate in the development drive with its unique advantages, Chui said.
The meeting was attended by Li Xi, secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China; He Lifeng, chairman of the National Development and Reform Commission; and Zhang Xiaoming, director of the State Council's Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office.

In general, a raised garden bed is particularly a large growing box. This bed is very useful if you want to solve the drainage problem for your plants. It is also the best choice to keep some pests away from your plants. One more benefit that you can get from raised bed is that you can have easy access to your plants. How to make it? Let's follow the tutorials below!
Prepare the following materials and tools to make it.
You need to build the raised bed in upside down position. Choose flat surface. Assemble 2 x 12s boards on their narrow side corner and attach one 4 x 4s at one of the board end. You can use adjustable clams to keep the joint.
You can predrill some holes to prevent the joint from splitting out. Then, you can secure them by using the screws. After the joint is being secured with some screws, you can remove the clamps.
Use step 1 and 2 to finish attaching or assembling the other 4 foot ends for your raised bed. After you have two ends, you can start attaching them into the long sides of the bed. Take 2 x 12s between the ends. Then, secure the joints of both ends using some screws. To keep the joints steady, you can use the clamps. Make sure to drill some predrill holes before securing the joints. After it is finished, repeat the same process to attach the other long side of the bed.
After your rectangular raised bed is ready, you can place it on the perfect location. Once you have flipped the bed into its intended position, you can start finding the right location in your garden. If you want to use your raised bed to grow some vegetables, you need to find the location which are exposed to full sunlight.
After finding the perfect location, what you need to do is securing the bed on its position. Dig some holes for every bed corner post, at least for about 6 inch. After that, sink every corner post deep into the ground. Install PVC tubes for spreading the floating row cover or bird netting.
Before pouring the soil, add the cloth on the ground to prevent any pests eating your vegetables.
Next is to add the soils and build the irrigation system.
After all set up, you are ready to grow your plants. If you want to protect your plants, you can add the bird netting on top of the raised bed.

Cannabis stocks mixed ahead of bill proposing protections for weed companies
Published: April 7, 2019 at 9:46 a.m. ET
Ciara Linnane
States Act would protect cannabis companies from federal laws that continue to classify substance with heroin
CANNX
HRVSF
FLOOF
GWPH
HMMJ
Cannabis stocks traded in a holding pattern on Thursday, extending a recent quiescent period, with investors awaiting the outcome of bipartisan legislation proposed in the House and Senate that would create protections for states that have legalized the substance for medical or recreational use.
"Cannabis stocks have been resting after a big run-up in the first two months of the year, " said Korey Bauer, portfolio manager of the Cannabis Growth Fund CANNX, -2.81%, a mutual fund recently launched by Foothill Capital Management. "People are looking to the next quarter and waiting to see what the next big partnership will be, that's what will spark a resumed rally."
The Strengthening the Tenth Amendment Through Entrusting States Act, or States Act, was introduced by Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Dem-Mass. and Cory Gardner, R-Colo. on Thursday, along with Reps. Earl Blumenauer, Dem-Oreg., and Dave Joyce, Rep-Ohio. The bill seeks to amend the federal law that continues to ban cannabis to include exemptions for businesses and individuals who comply with state laws.
Cannabis is still a Schedule 1 drug at the federal level, which classifies it alongside heroin and cocaine, preventing banks that are federally insured from offering services to companies in the sector.
The American Bankers Association sent letters to the House and Senate on Thursday in support of the bill.

"While ABA does not take a position on the legalization of cannabis and the STATES Act is not a banking specific bill, removing the federal prohibition on cannabis in states that have legalized its use would allow banks to accept deposits and provide basic financial services to state licensed cannabis businesses and their service providers," the letters said.
There has been a big spike in the number of cannabis companies tapping the debt markets, according to the latest data from Marijuana Business Daily and Viridian Capital Advisors. Cannabis companies conducted 33 debt raises in the first 13 weeks of the year, compared with just 19 in the year-ago period, Marijuana Business Daily reported.
Companies raised a total of $764.9 million in the period, up from $474.8 million a year ago. While the increase is partly due to the fact that more companies have entered the sector, companies are also turning to the debt markets to avoid equity financing that would require issuing more shares and diluting holdings.
Harvest Health and Recreation Inc. HRVSF, +0.81% on Thursday announced the private placement of $500 million convertible bonds with plans to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes.
In the past week, Toronto-based Flower One Holdings Inc. FLOOF, -6.58% which has operations in Nevada, closed aa C$50 million ($37.4 million) debt offering. Proceeds of that deal are to be used to pay down existing debt, for construction and development at the Nevada production facility and for general corporate purposes.
Among individual stocks, Aurora Cannabis Inc. ACB, +0.67% ACB, +1.32% officials said they have hired investment banker Carey Squires as executive v.p. of corporate development and strategy, tasking him with global growth and partnership strategies. Squires most recently served as managing director and co-head of equity-linked capital markets for BMO Capital Markets, leading the financing for Aurora's recent convertible debt offering among others.
German news site Handelsblatt reported that Aurora won five of 13 German domestic cultivation lots for medical cannabis, citing sector sources. Rival Canadian company Aphria Inc. also won five lots, with the remaining three going to Berlin-based Demecan, according to the site. Companies can grow 200 kg of cannabis a year, although the decision is preliminary and may change pending appeals by other applicants.
Jefferies analyst Owen Bennett said the news is positive for sentiment as the cultivation amounts are small and Dutch imports are likely to continue to supply the bulk of German patients.
"With Germany currently and projected to be the largest market outside of North America, it is seen by many as the bellwether for international operations, so success in this market is likely to be taken well," Bennett wrote in a note. The news is slightly negative for Tilray Inc. and Canopy Growth Corp., which likely expected to win lots in the tender process, he said. Aurora shares were down 0.6% and Tilray shares were down 2.9%.
Canopy shares fell 0.6%. Constellation Brands Inc. STZ, -1.75%, which has invested $4 billion in Canopy, reported quarterly earnings earlier Thursday and offered an outlook for fiscal 2020 that excluded dilution from that deal.
Elsewhere in the sector, Hexo Corp. HEXO, +1.12% was down 0.3%, Aleafia Health Inc. CA:ALEF CA:ALEF was up 0.5%, and CannTrust Holdings Inc. US:CTST CA:TRST was down 1.4%.
OrganiGram Holdings Inc. US:OGRMF was down 2.4%, MedMen Enterprises Inc. MMNFF, +4.32% was up 3.3% and GW Pharmaceuticals PLC GWPH, -1.52% was down 3.5%.

The Horizons Marijuana Life Sciences ETF HMMJ, -0.18% was down 0.8%, and the ETFMG Alternative Harvest ETF MJ, -0.55% was down 0.7%.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.57% was up 04% and the S&P 500 index SPX, -0.72% was down 0.1%.

Child custody is usually the hardest part of a family law case.
Child custody in Georgia can be as creative as the parties need it to be. After a divorce, there is a perception that one party will have primary custody while the other can expect every other weekend visits. This is true is some cases, but there are many other possible arrangements, including 50-50 or a shared custody arrangement.
We help clients to find creative child custody solutions that make sense for everyone involved and serve the best interests of the children.
If you want to craft he best possible arrangement, consider sitting down with us as your counsel. We will apply a wide breadth of experience in child custody law to help reach a solution that works best for you.
Call (770) 433-8121, or contact our office online to discuss your concerns.
There are two types of custody in our state: legal custody and physical custody. Legal custody is shared in most cases. This means the parties will consult with each other regarding major decisions for the child in areas such as health, education and religion. The parent in possession of the child makes day-to-day decisions.
Generally, one parent will have primary physical custody, meaning the child lives with that parent a majority of the time. Some parents have what is called "shared" physical custody of their children – they divide the time with the children equally. Shared physical custody works best when the parents are able to maintain a reasonably good relationship.
In Georgia, visitation is when a parent without custody has the right to visit the child. In Georgia, a typical visitation schedule will be every other weekend, two weeks in the summers and half of major holidays.
A parenting plan is a court order establishing the type of custodial arrangement the parents will follow. The order generally provides for a custody schedule to be followed. The schedule covers weekly visits, vacation and holiday time. We help negotiate the best possible custody arrangements through informal negotiations, mediation or in trial. Often, custodial arrangements must be included as part of divorce settlements or separation agreements. When the parents were never married custody and visitation may be decided in a parties' final order in their Legitimation case.
My goal is to ensure the best interests of my client and the children, which generally means that both parents are very involved in the child's life.
In addition to helping parents establish custody and visitation arrangements, we help clients who seek modification of a custody order due to changes in circumstances. Parents are often found in Contempt of Court for failing to follow a custody order, so it is important you talk to a family law attorney if the current arrangement no longer works for you or your child. Likewise, if your child's other parent isn't obeying the parenting plan, it is important to document their behavior and to consult an attorney to identify the best course of action.
For more information or to discuss your child custody case, call today!

I know this is a bit different from my usual posts. They are mainly about "little people" and even about the time before being little. However I was browsing on the net and I found the following article quite interesting so I thought about share it with you.
This is the original article and source. Feel free to discuss your thought below.
That our children need more of us. We have become so good at saying that we need to take care of ourselves that some of us have used it as an excuse to have the rest of the world take care of our kids. Yes, we all need undisturbed baths, time with friends, sanity breaks and an occasional life outside of parenthood. But we live in a time when parenting magazines recommend trying to commit to 10 minutes a day with each child and scheduling one Saturday a month as family day. That's not okay! Our children don't need Nintendos, computers, after school activities, ballet lessons, play groups and soccer practice nearly as much as they need US.They need fathers who sit and listen to their days, mothers who join in and make crafts with them, parents who take the time to read them stories and act like idiots with them. They need us to take walks with them and not mind the .1 MPH pace of a toddler on a spring night. They deserve to help us make supper even though it takes twice as long and makes it twice as much work. They deserve to know that they're a priority for us and that we truly love to be with them.


I made a chart with paired vertical axes showing 2 pairs of signals in parallel (see the first screenshot). I used an approach similar to the 'vertically stacked axes' example in the demo gallery. Then, I added two horizontal line annotations and assigned them to the different Y-axis via the YAxisId property. The first annotation at the top part is shown properly and can be dragged. The second annotation (with identical properties, save for the YAxisId) is shown in the correct Y position, but its label is missed and the line can not be dragged. Actually, the label is present too, but far below, with the offset equal to the half of the chart (see the second screenshot).
Is it a bug, or I miss some setting that can fix this problem? I use the version 3.1.0.4759.


Memphis Cafe is a Costa Mesa gem, located in the heart of SOBECA district. Soon after opening in 1995, the cafe earned a five-star review from the Los Angeles Times. Since then, it has continuously earned acclaim and a loyal following. Co-founder and chef Diego Velasco, classically trained in the culinary arts, has created a distinctive gourmet interpretation of Southern home-style cooking with signature dishes like smoky gumbo and pulled pork, buttermilk fried chicken and savory seafood jambalaya, among others, all of which are made from locally sourced and naturally raised meats and poultry. The restaurant also offers a roadhouse-style bar serving expertly crafted cocktails and carefully curated beers and wines.


Newsmax host Dennis Michael Lynch was yanked off the air for bashing his own network on Wednesday night, but it hasn't stopped the Donald Trump supporter from sharing his views on social media.
"You can earn millions, you can achieve fame, you can hold power, but w/out integrity and backbone you have nothing," Lynch tweeted on Thursday afternoon, presumably referring to his on-air prediction that it his comments would result in the end of his tenure at Newsmax.
Since his on-air monologue, Lynch has also posted on his own website about a planned Muslim day at a French a water park, Baltimore police not being allowed to bring guns into schools, demand for Hillary Clinton's health records and Will Smith's opposition to Trump, among many other things.
Newsmax did not immediately respond to TheWrap's request for comment on Lynch's employment status, and he also did not respond to our request for comment.
He was presumably referring to former Fox News chief Roger Ailes' resignation while he faces a sexual harassment suit from former on-air personality Gretchen Carlson. Clearly, the "Unfiltered" host had premeditated his outburst, as he posted his own hidden-camera recording of the opening monologue on Facebook Live.
He was soon blacked out by the network and when the show returned, it was helmed by a different host.
"I'm not going away; trust me on that one," Lynch wrote on Facebook.
You can earn millions, you can achieve fame, you can hold power, but w/out integrity and backbone you have nothing.

Cochrane's revised Conflict of Interest Policy has launched
Cochrane is pleased to announce that our revised Conflict of Interest Policy for Cochrane Library Content has taken effect as of today, October 14, 2020.
The revised Policy now applies to all reviews registered from today and to any updates where work began after today. A Conflict of Interest portal has been set up at http://conflictofinterest.cochrane.org/, where the Policy and a range of training resources are available.
There are a few important changes in the revised Policy:
Authors without conflicts of interest must make up at least two-thirds of the author team.
Last as well as first authors must be entirely free of conflicts of interest.
Authors of clinical studies that are funded by industry and are relevant to the topic of a review may not be the first or last author of a Cochrane Review.
Non-financial interests must be closely considered and declared by all Cochrane authors, but will not prevent people from creating Cochrane Library content.
The Research Integrity and Training teams have created resources for Cochrane authors, Review Groups, and other producers of Cochrane Library content to help them to implement the policy.
A diagram that explains the timelines for applying the revised Policy
Flowcharts to help guide users on how to apply the Policy in straight forward cases relating to author payments from commercial organizations, clinical study involvement, author's employment, patents and funding of Cochrane Library content.
A quick guide for authors which gives a brief overview of authorship requirements
An FAQ page
Recordings from a webinar delivered earlier in 2020, which give an overview of the policy and the implementation plan
Short online learning modules based on COI scenarios
Additional opportunities for learning about the revised Policy and to ask questions will be made available going forward. Cochrane's Research Integrity Editors and Conflict of Interest Panel are in place to provide advice and manage cases that possibly breach the revised policy. General questions about the Policy can be referred to coiarbiter@cochrane.org.
Karla Soares-Weiser, Editor in Chief of the Cochrane Library, says: "With this Conflict of Interest policy, Cochrane is showing its commitment to independence, transparency, and integrity. This policy will minimize any impact that conflicts of interest could have on Cochrane systematic reviews. We are proud of this policy and its rigor, and know it reaffirms Cochrane's role as an independent leader in evidence synthesis publishing."

Q: How to start HostedService in MVC Core app without http request In my MVC .NET core 2.2 app there is HostedService which doing background work.
It is register in ConfigureServices method of Startap class
services.AddHostedService<Engines.KontolerTimer>();

Since this is background service independent of users requests I want to  start my background service immediately when app starts.
Now is case to my HostedService staring after first user request.
What is proper way to start HostedService when MVC Core app start
My serivce looks like this one https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/host/hosted-services?view=aspnetcore-2.2
internal class TimedHostedService : IHostedService, IDisposable
{
    private readonly ILogger _logger;
    private Timer _timer;

    public TimedHostedService(ILogger<TimedHostedService> logger)
    {
        _logger = logger;
    }

    public Task StartAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        _logger.LogInformation("Timed Background Service is starting.");

        _timer = new Timer(DoWork, null, TimeSpan.Zero,
            TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5));

        return Task.CompletedTask;
    }

    private void DoWork(object state)
    {
        _logger.LogInformation("Timed Background Service is working.");
    }

    public Task StopAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        _logger.LogInformation("Timed Background Service is stopping.");

        _timer?.Change(Timeout.Infinite, 0);

        return Task.CompletedTask;
    }

    public void Dispose()
    {
        _timer?.Dispose();
    }
}

Looks like I have problem  staring app at all.
My porgram cs looks like
public class Program
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
           CreateWebHostBuilder(args).Build().Run();

        }

        public static IWebHostBuilder CreateWebHostBuilder(string[] args) =>
            WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
            .UseSerilog((ctx, config) => { config.ReadFrom.Configuration(ctx.Configuration); })
            .UseStartup<Startup>();
    }

And I do not hit any break point before first user request.
Am I miss something, this is default .Net Core app created by VS2017
Here is my starup.cs
public class Startup
    {
        public Startup(IConfiguration configuration)
        {
            Configuration = configuration;
        }

        public IConfiguration Configuration { get; }
        private Models.Configuration.SerialPortConfiguration serialPortConfiguration;

        // This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container.
        public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {
            services.Configure<CookiePolicyOptions>(options =>
            {
                // This lambda determines whether user consent for non-essential cookies is needed for a given request.
                options.CheckConsentNeeded = context => true;
                options.MinimumSameSitePolicy = SameSiteMode.None;
            });

            services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options =>
                options.UseSqlServer(
                    Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")));

            services.AddIdentity<ApplicationUser, ApplicationRole>(options => options.Stores.MaxLengthForKeys = 128)
                .AddDefaultUI(UIFramework.Bootstrap4)
                .AddEntityFrameworkStores<ApplicationDbContext>()
                .AddDefaultTokenProviders();

            services.AddDbContext<Data.Parking.parkingContext>(options =>
                options.UseSqlServer(
                    Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")));

         services.AddMvc().SetCompatibilityVersion(CompatibilityVersion.Version_2_2);
            services.AddHostedService<Engines.KontolerTimer>();}

A: Background services start when your application starts, then it's up to you to synchronize with it.
You can implement a background service by using the BackgroundService class from the namespace Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting(Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.Abstractions assembly):
First the declare the interface of your service (in this case it is empty, not nice, but clean):
public interface IMyService : IHostedService
{
}

Then, declare your service. The following snippet declares a service that at startup waist for 5 seconds, and then executes a task every 2 minutes and half:
internal sealed class MyService : BackgroundService, IMyService
{
    private const int InitialDelay = 5 * 1000;  //5 seconds;
    private const int Delay = (5 * 60 * 1000) / 2; // 2.5 minutes

    private readonly ILogger<MyService> m_Logger;

    public MyService(ILogger<MyService> logger, IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
    {
        if (logger == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(logger));
        if (serviceProvider == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(serviceProvider));

        this.m_Logger = logger;
        this.m_ServiceProvider = serviceProvider;
    }

    protected override async Task ExecuteAsync(CancellationToken stoppingToken)
    {
        try
        {
            m_Logger.LogDebug($"MyService is starting.");

            stoppingToken.Register(() => m_Logger.LogDebug($"MyService background task is stopping because cancelled."));

            if (!stoppingToken.IsCancellationRequested)
            {
                m_Logger.LogDebug($"MyService is waiting to be scheduled.");
                await Task.Delay(InitialDelay, stoppingToken);
            }

            m_Logger.LogDebug($"MyService is working.");

            while (!stoppingToken.IsCancellationRequested)
            {
                await DoSomethingAsync();

                await Task.Delay(Delay);
            }

            m_Logger.LogDebug($"MyService background task is stopping.");
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            m_Logger.LogDebug("MyService encountered a fatal error while w task is stopping: {Exception}.", ex.ToString());
        }
    }

    private async Task DoSomethingAsync()
    {
         // do something here
         await Task.Delay(1000);
    }
}

As you can see, it's up to you to keep the background service "alive". Finally, you have to register it in your Startup.cs at the end of your ConfigureServices method:
services.AddSingleton<Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.IHostedService, MyService>();

This is sufficient to have the service started. keep in mind that your application could be actually started at a later time if hosted in IIS: your application is (re)started everytime your assembly is recycled. Instead, using Kestrel, provides a single instance application which will not be recycled.
For those using .Net Core 2.1 or lower, the Background class is not available, but you can get the definition from github (I post what I used in the past as the github repository can be moved):

public abstract class BackgroundService : IHostedService, IDisposable
{
    private Task _executingTask;

    private readonly CancellationTokenSource _stoppingCts =
                                                   new CancellationTokenSource();

    protected abstract Task ExecuteAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken);

    public virtual Task StartAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        // Store the task we're executing
        _executingTask = ExecuteAsync(_stoppingCts.Token);

        // If the task is completed then return it,
        // this will bubble cancellation and failure to the caller
        if (_executingTask.IsCompleted)
        {
            return _executingTask;
        }

        // Otherwise it's running
        return Task.CompletedTask;
    }

    public virtual async Task StopAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        // Stop called without start
        if (_executingTask == null)
        {
            return;
        }

        try
        {
            // Signal cancellation to the executing method
            _stoppingCts.Cancel();
        }
        finally
        {
            // Wait until the task completes or the stop token triggers
            await Task.WhenAny(_executingTask, Task.Delay(Timeout.Infinite,
                                                          cancellationToken));
        }
    }

    public virtual void Dispose()
    {
        _stoppingCts.Cancel();
    }
}

A: When you run this using Visual Studio, you are likely using IIS Express, which isn't going to run your ASP.NET Core project until the first request is made (that's really just how IIS works by default). This applies when using the InProcess hosting-model that's new with ASP.NET Core 2.2, which I expect you must be using in order to see this issue. See this GitHub issue for more.
You can prove this theory by removing the AspNetCoreHostingModel XML element from the .csproj file that you're using to host the ASP.NET Core application (which will switch it back to the OutOfProcess mode). It looks like there's a "Hosting Model" option under "Debug" in the project properties dialog of VS2017 that you can change to "Out Of Process" if you don't want to edit the .csproj directly.
If you want the hosting-model to be out-of-process only for a production site, you could use a Web.config transform, for example. If you want it to be out-of-process both during development and in production, just changing the property I called out above will be enough as this gets converted automatically into a Web.config property. If you would prefer to use the in-process model, enabling preload in the IIS application is a good option (described here).

A: If you want o have a Service doing background tasks (similar to old Windows Services) I would suggest you to use: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/host/generic-host?view=aspnetcore-2.2 instead of a WebHost.
WebHost add a lot of stuff that probably you won't need since seems a simple background job (assuming that reading your code).

A: For me... background tasks weren't starting until the first page request.
But then I noticed in my Publish / Edit, I didn't have Destination Url set. (and also I didn't have a home Index page)...
Once I added a valid Destination Url... that page would popup after publishing and be my "first" page request and background tasks would start.

A: Hosted services do start when the host is starting. With the WebHost, the hosted services will be started right after the application has started. This means that if implemented correctly, your hosted service will run without requiring a request to come in.
When I try your example hosted service on a fresh ASP.NET Core application, it works just fine, so if it is not working for you, then apparently your actual implementation KontolerTimer is not correct.

Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood anti-abortion violence.
As a physician, I worry about patients.
Mayor John Suthers addresses the media outside a Planned Parenthood facility where an active shooter reportedly killed three people and injured nine, on Nov. 27, 2015 in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
As news continues to unfold about Friday's Planned Parenthood shooting in Colorado Springs, one thing is clear: Domestic terrorism remains unchecked, even on the day after Thanksgiving. To label this an isolated act of violence would be naïve. In 2015 alone, there has been unprecedented harassment from anti-choice extremists, including most recently, a series of slanderous manipulated videos used to attack Planned Parenthood's fetal tissue donation programs. And now this.
We can speculate long and hard about the gunman's motives or targets, but what is more significant—what keeps me up at night as an OB/GYN physician—is the concern that we as a nation have become complacent. Was it truly a shock that something so horrific emerged only weeks after anti–Planned Parenthood rhetoric dominated the presidential candidate debates? What was all of this manipulative campaigning if not an invitation to incite hate? And now this.
A few people were injured and only a few people died, some headlines will say. That's not so many compared to the recent acts of terrorism in Paris. But here's the irony: This is a homegrown terrorist, one that no amount of passport authentication or refugee rejection could have stopped. We spend all this effort agonizing over external threats, all the while overlooking the extremism, bigotry, and hatred that lives down the street. And now this.
This is a sign of crisis. When women are too scared to seek medical care for fear of being shot on the way to clinic, we are in crisis mode. This is beyond bullying and this is no longer simply a politicizing issue. This is a runaway train on which nobody is pulling the brakes. How far does this have to play out before we can stop pretending that abortion care is not real health care? Since 1977, there have been eight murders, 17 attempted murders, 42 bombings, 186 arsons, and thousands of incidents of criminal activity associated with U.S. abortion clinics. These numbers do not include what happened in Colorado Springs.
As a physician, I worry about patients. I worry that women will be too scared or intimidated to seek the medical care they deserve and need. I also worry about the men and women who work daily to maintain access to reproductive health care: clinic staff, legislators, advocates. This is the point of terrorism, though, is it not—to incite fear and paralysis? So what then is the solution? The solution is strength and bravery in numbers, and it's a more accurate depiction of abortion in the media. It's also government accountability.
In 1998, after the shooting of abortion provider Barnett Slepian, the U.S. Department of Justice established a Task Force on Violence Against Health Care Providers. This is the group that coordinates national investigations of incidents like that in Colorado Springs. There are also efforts in place to prevent such tragedies from happening in the first place. The Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act prohibits any violent, threatening, damaging, or obstructive act that interferes with obtaining or providing abortions. These are the laws. How we choose to uphold them, however, is a different story.
Anti-choice terrorism can be stopped. When it's recognized for what it truly is, and when preventing it is given enough support on both sides of the aisle, this can be stopped. As with many critical issues, the first step is often the most difficult—recognizing that there is a problem. We are there now, and we need legitimate, sustainable solutions before this happens again.

my greatest trick

sometimes i wish i would just face that fear,

but don't we all have our bones to pick?

though sometimes i wish i could just disappear,

would that not be my greatest trick?

but i want to be here, there's much to see,

moments i have not yet met.

i think if i would just share more of me,

that would be my greatest effect.

Taking it up a notch
This is also appropriate information for the future notched iPhones which are rumored to launch in 2018.
With the assist for the notch, major content on all apps can be displayed below it, while supporting cloth, like stats, will appear on either facet.
The carrot dangling at the stick for developers is the capacity to increase revenue by the usage of the modern day iOS eleven capabilities, like "Core ML, ARKit, new camera APIs, new Sirikit domains, Apple Music integration, drag and drop for iPad, and more".
However, Apple plans to launch iOS 12 in June, before the July cut-off date for updating apps with notch-support rolls around. While more recent handsets might be able to make the best of the brand new features arriving with the new version of the OS, we're yet to find out how this will have an effect on guide for the older phones, just like the iPhone 5S.
Best unfastened iPhone apps for 2018

A Watson problem not so elementary: India has to raise its game vastly in education
August 29, 2016, 3:57 AM IST ET Edit in ET Editorials, Companies, Economy, Edit Page, India, ET
Quick takes, analyses and macro-level views on all contemporary economic, financial and political events.
The decision by consulting major Capgemini to replace nearly 40% of its work done by its resource management group with IBM's cognitive computing system, Watson, is a clear indication that it is not just repetitive or mechanical jobs that are at risk. Artificial intelligence (AI) is capable of taking on those tasks that require analytical skills. The tasks from education and skill development just got tougher.
By 2025, 70% of India's population is projected to be of working age. A chunk of India's present knowledge economy would have been chomped down by AI. As the knowledge economy evolves, India's ability to continue playing a big role in that depends on swiftly raising the quality of education. It is not enough to have engineers who can write code, we need thousands of PhDs in engineering and maths and science, capable of critical thought. The education and vocational training system needs to take the real capacities of artificial intelligence into consideration in charting their course.
The government is in the process of finalising a new education policy, one that will address the needs of the 21st century. This policy needs to focus on enhancing cognitive skills, capacities for critical thinking and innovation. Arobust foundation will require focusing on early childhood care and education to augment cognitive skills of children. It will also require designing school curriculum and teaching practices in a manner that will encourage analytical skills and thinking. Innovation, and research and development must emerge as the cornerstone of the higher education system.
Vocational educational, skill development and retraining — all need a radical transformation. The government's massive skill development effort will need to shift its focus to augmenting the ability rather than certifying skills. The three Rs — reading, writing, arithmetic — must continue to form the core of education. The children who master them must also learn to question and criticise, to think anew and shift paradigms. They can grow up to extend AI, rather than succumb to its growing power.

    `estimate`: The estimated KL divergence, mean of the sampled integrand
    values.

    `se`: Estimated standard deviation of the samples from which the mean was
    calculated. In general the mean and variance of log(P(x)) is not known to
    be finite, but it will be for any distribution crosscat generates at the
    moment, because they all have finite entropy. Hence the Central Limit
    Theorem applies at some sample size, and this can in principle be used as a
    rough guide to the precision of the estimate. In tests comparing the
    univariate gaussians N(0,1) and N(0,2), it tended to have a visually
    obvious bias for sample sizes below 100,000.
