Raw and Smackdown rosters will be jumbled up a bit.
During Raw, WWE announced the next Superstar Shakeup for next week and it will take place on both Raw and Smackdown between April 16 and 17. The shakeup is different from a draft because it revolves around talent exchanges instead of an entire overhaul of the rosters. The last Superstar Shakeup was a year ago.
Even though the brands will be independent on the weekly shows, WWE has moved towards co-branded pay-per-views starting with the next event WWE Backlash, per WWE. Technically the brands will also be performing together later this month when the company heads to Saudi Arabia for The Greatest Royal Rumble.
The last Superstar Shakeup saw two champions change brands and Sami Zayn follow Kevin Owens to Smackdown as they were feuding at the time. On Raw, announcers mentioned that Alexa Bliss and Mickie James were both campaigning to switch brands after problems with Nia Jax.
Fightful Wrestling had live coverage and a recapping podcast of Raw this week and will have coverage of the Superstar Shakeup next week.

Q: ZTIDrivers Type Mismatch in MDT during Task Sequence I'm trying to deploy Windows 10 to a lenovo laptop using MDT.  I have a selection profile for this particular Task Sequence that selects only the drivers for this model.  The drivers I imported was the complete driver pack for SCCM that you can download from Lenovo, so all the drivers were inf and cab.
Right at the step where it injects, I get the error below, and the TS fails before the OS starts to install.
ZTI ERROR - Unhandled error returned by ZTIDrivers: Type mismatch (13)  ZTIDrivers  11/2/2021 3:37:35 PM    0 (0x0000)
Event 41002 sent: ZTI ERROR - Unhandled error returned by ZTIDrivers: Type mismatch (13)    ZTIDrivers  11/2/2021 3:37:35 PM    0 (0x0000)
Command completed, return code = -2147467259    LiteTouch   11/2/2021 3:37:36 PM    0 (0x0000)
Litetouch deployment failed, Return Code = -2147467259  0x80004005  LiteTouch   11/2/2021 3:37:36 PM    0 (0x0000)
Event 41014 sent: Litetouch deployment failed, Return Code = -2147467259  0x80004005    LiteTouch   11/2/2021 3:37:36 PM    0 (0x0000)

Some things I have checked:

*

*The GUID of the OS and the GUID in the tasksequence XML match

*Tried reimporting the drivers, and reimporting the OS wim

*Tried using the same TS, but with vanilla Windows 10 21H1 for the image.

Why am I getting that error?  Nothing I've searched yields anything that helps.

A: I ran into this exact same error recently.  We use external USB media for our MDT build deployment.
This is what I found caused this error in my case.
The OSGUID variable was not getting set to a valid value.
To figure this out I first looked at the ZTIDriver.wsf script.
In the ZTIDrivers.wsf script, up near the top, it will parse the envirVar "ImageBuild" to come up the the local variable "sTargetBuild".
If "ImageBuild" is null, then the local "sTargetBuild" variable won't get set properly.  More on this in a bit.
Later in the ZTIDrivers.wsf script, in the "Function UpdateConfiguration", the sTargetBuild value is checked ("If sTargetBuild <> 5 then").  Since sTargetBuild isn't set properly (I suspect that it is null), it doesn't match the proper data type for the IF evaluation.  So it coughs up the "Type Mismatch" error.
OK, back to the "ImageBuild" variable.  Why is this null or not set?
On a previous successful deployed build, I check the BDD.log from the deployment and search for "ImageBuild".   I search for "ImageBuild" and find that it is being set ("Property ImageBuild is now = 10.0.19041.1469").
I check the BDD.log on the failed "Type Mismatch" system.
There is no mention of "ImageBuild".
Back in the successful BDD.log, a few lines above where the "ImageBuild" is seen, I see the "OSGUID" value displayed ("Property OSGUID is now = (a899bc.....").
When I look for this "OSGUID" line in the failed BDD.log, I do see a similar line ("Property OSGUID is now = {388c2ee4-....").
BUT I also see a line just below it that says "ERROR:  Invalid OS GUID {388c2ee4-....".
Where did it get this invalid OSGUID from?
While my TS.XML has the correct GUID listed for the "Install Operating System" task (and that valid GUID is set for the OS in the OperatingSystems.xml),  I also see that way up at the top of the TS.XML, in the "globalVarList" section, there are additional lines where OSGUID is set.  AND it is getting set to the invalid value that is listed in BDD.log.
For some reason in my TS.XML in the "globalVarList" section, I have two OSGUID value entries.   Not sure why multiple.
But my fix was to manually edit the TS.XML and change the invalid OSGUID entries so that they were using the valid GUID for the OS.
Hope this helps.

Mumbai, Apr 4 (UNI) The CBI Special Court has issued summons to over 60 witnesses in the murder case of Chistopher Chamannappa Bhati, former employee of prime accused in multi-crore fake stamp paper scandal Abdul Karim Telgi.
Additional Sessions Court Judge U D Salvi, who is presiding over the case, has issued summons to the witnesses and the trial in the case would begin from April 15.
In all, there are seven accused in the case which includes Telgi, his nephew Tabrez, Udya Sawant, Sajid Khan and three others.
CBI special public prosecutor Pradeep Gharat said here today that the prosecution has submitted the list of documents and other material related to the case in the court. Thereafter, the court has issued summons to the witnesses.
The deceased, an employee of Telgi, used to handle his fake stamp business in Andhra Pradesh and in 2001 had stolen Rs 2.5 lakh from his business account, Mr Gharat said.
He said Telgi had asked the other accused to bring Bhati in Mumbai where he was assaulted and Bhati had succumbed to the injuries. The accused threw away the body in Mahim Creek, which was recovered a few days later, and tried to destroy the evidence.
At Bandgarden, when the fake stamp case was opened, Udya Sawant confessed to the crime, he said.
City police went to Pune to book the accused and the chargesheet was filed in last month, he informed.

Jakóbik: Will PGNiG have to stop Gazprom's expansion in Europe?
If Gazprom used European companies to steal PGNiG's strategic clients perhaps they would receive a lower price, but Poland's entire gas policy would be put at risk – Wojciech Jakóbik, BiznesAlert.pl's editor in chief.
"The possible sale of 46.65 percent of Uniper's shares, a Germany's E.on subsidiary, to Fortum would make the Finnish company Gazprom's partner on the Nord Stream 2 project," writes Kommiersant.
E.on is a financial partner of the Nord Stream 2 consortium, which wants to build a controversial pipeline with the same name. It will make it possible to transmit increased volumes of Russian gas to the Central and Eastern European markets. This, according to critics will cement Gazprom's position, threaten market development, competition and economic stability of the main gas transit country – Ukraine. At the same time Kommiersant admits that the Federal Antimonopoly Service and Uniper itself are against the transaction.
Fortum is talking about buying Uniper's shares. It offers EUR 22 per one share, which means E.on could be paid EUR 3.8 bn in total. After taking over E.on's shares the Finns would be forced to take over the shares of the other shareholders for about EUR 8 bn in total. Uniper co-finances Nord Stream 2. European companies want to bankroll the project with EUR 950 m in total. Apart from the German company, other European firms including, Shell, OMV, Engie and Wintershall (BASF's subsidiary) entered the agreement. Fortum would have to take over the responsibility from Germans. The company is under the supervision of the Finnish government, but its CEO Pekka Lundmark, quoted by Kommiersant informed the takeover had not been discussed with Helsinki.
Fortum is present on the Polish market as well. Las year it took over the Duon Group together with its sales staff that partially came from Poland's PGNiG. The Group trades gas with special emphasis on the Yamal gas pipeline reverse flow. However, because of the Act on Mandatory Stocks of Fossil Fuels that the company is complaining about, Fortum has limited possibilities of using this tool to offer the raw material to clients in Poland. However, if Fortum did take over Uniper and became a shareholder of Nord Stream 2, its next natural step should be to start an expansion on the Polish market by using gas supplies from that direction, provided the gas pipeline is built.
In this scenario Fortum would fight for Polish clients with Poland's monopolist PGNiG. From the point of view of the final consumer the price is what counts, so in their view better competition in Poland would be beneficial as it would increase gas supply and lower prices. However, from the point of view of PGNiG and Poland it could constitute a threat.
Increased gas deliveries from Nord Stream 2 via Germany to Poland, which could start by the end of 2019, if the pipeline is commenced according to schedule, would be taking place at the same time when PGNiG was still importing Russian gas one the basis of the Yamal contract. The agreement includes a take or pay clause, which forces the Poles to pay for at least 80 percent of volume regardless of their actual needs.
This could lead to a situation where Fortum would take over PGNiG's clients thanks to Russian gas from Nord Stream 2 and would leave the Polish company with increasing gas volumes in its storage facilities. Since the gas prices on the German exchange are more competitive than the offer in the Yamal contract (according to PGNiG, as we can only estimate the contract price), the Finns would find it easy to take over the Polish company's strategic clients. PGNiG would not be able to respond with a stable competitive price until 2022, which is when the Baltic Pipe will be commenced, i.e. the Norwegian Gateway which will provide gas that will constitute stable competition to the Russian offer, contrary to LNG's volatile prices.
The Polish company would find it harder to promote non-Russian gas from its portfolio because the market would increasingly book Russian gas from Fortum. From the point of view of Poland's energy security and the assumption that an increasing gas dependence on Russia deepens political dependence, such a scenario is dangerous. It would turn PGNiG into another Kompania Węglowa that needs to be bankrolled by the state to survive. Whereas the Polish market would be saturated with Russian gas regardless of the diversification policy pursued by Poland via PGNiG, which is possible thanks to the fact that the company's statutes includes the obligation to pursue energy security. At that point fears about a gas cartel dependant on Nord Stream 2 could be justified. So far Poland's Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) said no to the project, which forced its masterminds to leave 100 percent of the shares in Gazprom's hands. European companies could not join the consortium because of UOKiK, which also warned that the project would again seal Gazprom's position in Central and Eastern Europe via its European intermediaries, one of which Fortum could become. Even if the transaction does not take place because Uniper has officially refused to sell the shares to the Finns, the scenario could still be realized with the participation of other entities. I have previously written about this possibility.
Both PGNiG and the Polish government are concerned this might happen. The latter unequivocally supports the former, even at the cost of criticism from private suppliers who accuse Poles of trying to shape the market so that it fits the expectations of the Polish monopolist. This is how they see the Act on Mandatory Stocks of Fossil Fuels. The regulation forces the companies to book storage capacity and thus makes it impossible for smaller entities to book reverse capacity on the Yamal pipeline, which is an entry point for gas from Nord Stream and the planned Nord Stream 2.
Currently PGNiG buys cheaper gas on the German exchange to enhance its competitiveness. The Act on Mandatory Stocks limited the access of other companies to such deals. On the other hand, it obligated everyone to secure reserves in case of a crisis. There is a dispute on the subject that is taking place in the country and at the EU level. Still, from the point of view of the Polish government the Act is a bulwark that protects the market from inundation by Russian gas from the west and from the process against UOKiK warned about. The European Commission is another institution which claims that Nord Stream 2 will increase the saturation of the German market with Russian gas.
An opportunity to verify whether such a scenario is possible has recently appeared, as Gazprom signed an important gas agreement with a private Croatian supplier Prvo Plinarsko Drustvo (PPD). The contract ensure deliveries of up to 1 bcm of gas annually for 10 years from 1 October 2017 to 31 December 2027. In the fourth quarter of the current year Gazprom will deliver 0.25 bcm. Elena Burmistrova from Gazprom Export said she was sure the contract was an "important step [that] will strengthen the mutually beneficial partnership between the two countries." "Our cooperation with a strong, reliable partner will ensure the Croatian market is secure and has a stable gas supply," assessed Pavao Vujnovac.
Words matter. Burmistrova talked about cooperation between the two countries despite the fact that PDD is a private company. The state-run LNG Croatia wants to install an LNG FSRU, which is supposed to be ready in 2019 and which is co-financed by the European Union, but may be left without clients already booked by Gazprom via PDD. Therefore, one could assume that introducing an intermediary to the Croatian market for gas deliveries from Russia may undermine the profitability of the terminal at the Krk island. It remains to be seen how Croatia's politicians will react to this problem as they are divided on the subject of the future of the LNG project despite the fact it is part and parcel of the North-South Gas Corridor just like the LNG terminal in Świnoujście. The source of this political dispute may be in Russia. Our editor Teresa Wójcik wrote more on the subject previously.
The Croatian precedent may be a case study for Poles who are arguing over the impact of deliveries from Nord Stream 2, which may not necessarily be provided by Gazprom, which instead can use its intermediaries such as Fortum, or any other company that has a contract to receive gas in Greifswald where the second gas pipeline from Russia to Germany will have its exit point. Increased gas deliveries via the reverse flow on the Yamal gas pipeline may have a similar impact on the Polish LNG terminal as Gazprom's deliveries to PDD in Croatia. It remains unknown how it would influence PGNiG's position. PDD's portfolio already encompasses Croatia's biggest industrial clients. We also do not know whether Fortum or a different intermediary used by Gazprom, would be able to take over, e.g. an agreement with the state-owned Azoty Group, or the private company Boryszew. The Croatian case study needs to be closely watched to find out whether the invisible hand of the free market is enough to ensure cheap gas and energy security for Poland and Central and Eastern Europe's clients. If not, then it may turn out that tools such as PGNiG and the Act on Mandatory Stocks will be necessary to put a stop to Gazprom's expansion in our part of the continent.

Macron and Le Pen Advance To Runoff In French Presidential Election
French voters face a stark choice in the May 7th runoff for President. Hopefully, they'll make the correct choice.
Doug Mataconis · Monday, April 24, 2017 · 4 comments
When the smoke cleared after Sunday's first round in the French Presidential election, the French people were left with a rather clear choice between the rather mainstream center-left politics of Emmanuel Macron and the right-wing politics of National Front leader Marine Le Pen in a runoff that is likely to have major implications for both France and the rest of Europe:
PARIS — In France's most consequential election in recent history, voters on Sunday chose Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen to go to a runoff to determine the next president, official returns showed. One is a political novice, the other a far-right firebrand — both outsiders, but with starkly different visions for the country.
The result was a full-throated rebuke of France's traditional mainstream parties, setting the country on an uncertain path in an election that could also decide the future of the European Union.
It is the first time in the nearly 59-year history of France's Fifth Republic that both of the final candidates are from outside the traditional left-right party structure. Together, they drew less than half the total votes cast in a highly fractured election.
Even before the official tallies were announced, the political establishment was rallying behind Mr. Macron, warning of the dangers of a victory by Ms. Le Pen's far-right National Front, though few analysts give her much of a chance of winning the May 7 runoff.
Mr. Macron, a former investment banker, abandoned traditional parties a year ago to form his own movement with an eclectic blend of left and right policies. He campaigned on a pro-European Union platform, coupled with calls to overhaul the rules governing the French economy.
"The French people have decided to put me at the top in the first round of the vote," Mr. Macron told jubilant supporters at a rally in Paris. "I'm aware of the honor and the responsibility that rest on my shoulders.
Ms. Le Pen's success was a victory for people who oppose the European Union and for those who want to see more "France first" policies to restrict immigration, protect French industry and limit public signs of Muslim faith, including the wearing of head scarves.
"The great debate will finally take place," Ms. Le Pen said on Twitter. "French citizens need to seize this historic opportunity."
Political experts said the vote showed a new, profound cleavage in French politics around globalization, as well as France's relationship with the European Union.
"Fundamentally, this shows that France is going through deep political tensions: clashes over the global economy, the integration of France into the global economy and into Europe," said Bruno Cautrès, a political analyst and public opinion specialist at the Center for Political Research at Sciences Po, the institute of political studies in Paris.
It is not that the left-right divide no longer matters — after all, voters gave roughly 40 percent of the vote to various versions of the traditional left and right — but that it is now complicated by the crosscutting politics of globalization versus anti-globalization.
With 97 percent of the vote counted, Mr. Macron had 23.9 percent, Ms. Le Pen had 21.5 percent, the mainstream right candidate François Fillon had nearly 20 percent, and the far-left candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon had 19.6 percent.
When Ms. Le Pen spoke to supporters in the small town of Hénin-Beaumont in northern France, although the results were not yet definitive, she sounded victorious.
She not only made it to the second round for the first time, but also got a higher percentage of votes than she did in 2012, and a higher percentage than her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, did in 2002, when he made it to the second round as the National Front candidate and faced Jacques Chirac.
Ms. Le Pen said the outcome was "an act of French pride, that of a people who are raising up their heads, that of a people sure of their values and confident of the future."
That future would be a perilous one under the National Front, others warned. Bernard Cazeneuve, the sitting Socialist prime minister, called Ms. Le Pen's project "dangerous and sectarian" and said it would "impoverish, isolate and divide" the country.
"It will inevitably lead to the end of Europe and of the euro, and, eventually, to France's relegation," he said. "The National Front cannot be the future of our country."
For now, voters narrowly embraced Mr. Macron's centrist calls for change over more strident appeals from the far left and the far right for France to fortify itself against immigration and globalization.
His success also suggests that despite multiple terrorist attacks in France recently, a message of outreach to immigrants and acceptance of Muslims, as well as of ethnic diversity, has some currency. Ms. Le Pen campaigned stridently against Muslims and immigration, linking both to security threats, and she may have benefited from a final surge of support after a terrorist attack in Paris on Thursday.
In contrast, Mr. Macron, in his address to supporters as the returns were still being tabulated Sunday night, emphasized that he wanted to be the president of all of France. He promised "to bring together the French people," clearly recognizing that if he wins the runoff, as is expected, he will have to lead a politically fractured country.
Four candidates with markedly different views came within a few points of one another in the vote on Sunday, suggesting that the fight about what vision of France will dominate the future is far from over.
Both Mr. Macron's supporters and those of Ms. Le Pen were cheering madly at their respective candidates' headquarters, with Ms. Le Pen's loyalists dancing in the street outside the place where she was speaking in Hénin-Beaumont.
The two finalists could hardly be more different on the big questions facing France: globalization, immigration and French identity. Beyond that, they represent completely different faces of France.
Ms. Le Pen's voters want a government that protects them from the vicissitudes of the marketplace and closes its borders to outsiders, re-establishing the frontiers that have been largely erased by the European Union.
Although Ms. Le Pen has younger, more high-tech voters, she also represents the France that feels left behind: the workers whose jobs have moved to cheaper countries, such as those in Eastern Europe and Asia.
She represents young people who have to go to work early in life to help support their families, and who do not have the advanced degrees that afford them a good income. And she represents people who feel threatened by the immigrants thronging to Europe.
"Marine will fight for the young people — for their future, for their freedom, for their job, for their family," said Aurore Lahondes, a resident of the central-west city of Angers. She called Mr. Macron, a onetime investment banker at Rothschild & Company, "the candidate who is the most far away from the people."
"He is the candidate of the financial part of the world," Ms. Lahondes, 19, said in an interview at a bar that had been rented out by the local National Front federation. "He is the candidate of the European Union."
Mr. Macron represents a more educated and cosmopolitan France. His voters are not all privileged by any means, but they believe that looking beyond the country's borders will enrich them in every way, economically and culturally. Mr. Macron's challenge will be to convince more of the French that globalism has as many rewards as it does costs.
"Globalism has positive effects, but it also increases precariousness and inequalities," said Thomas Guénolé, a political-science professor at Sciences Po.
The vote on Sunday came after a bruising campaign in which the public repeatedly rejected candidates who were expected to be winners. In the mainstream right primary, the mayor of Bordeaux, Alain Juppé, was expected to handily best Mr. Fillon. Instead, Mr. Fillon trounced him.
The left suffered similar upheaval, with the expected winner of the Socialist primary, former Prime Minister Manuel Valls, losing to Benoît Hamon. Mr. Hamon floundered during the campaign and received less than 7 percent of the vote, a cratering of support for his party.
On the right, Mr. Fillon initially looked like a potential winner, but a nepotism scandal — in which he was accused of embezzling public funds by paying his wife and children to work as his assistants, although they appear to have done little work — defeated his efforts to make it to the second round.
"The obstacles put on my path were too numerous, too cruel," he said, conceding defeat Sunday night.
In the meantime, Mr. Macron appears to have been in the right place at the right time, with mainstream candidates falling on either side and a far-right candidate whom many in France cannot imagine having represent the country.
That does not mean that people favor him, but rather that he was the "least worst" vote: an especially weak position for a candidate with no real party base behind him.
In several respects, this first round of the election broke several political molds for France, and that throws something of a monkey wrench into the process that makes the final outcome somewhat uncertain, although it still appears that the odds favor Emmanuel Macron in the runoff that takes place in less than two weeks on May 7th. First of all, as Adam Taylor notes in The Washington Post, French Presidential elections have usually ended up being a scenario when the first round results in a final runoff between the candidate of the major center-right coalition faces off against the candidate of the center-left coalition, and the final result in the second round is one where one side or the other ends up winning by a margin not unlike what we typically see in the popular vote here in the United States between the Republican and Democratic candidate. Under this scenario, the largest margin of victory in a French election was the 58% of the vote that Georges Pompidou received in the 1969 Presidential election. The one exception to these general rule prior to this year came in 2002 when Jacques Chirac ended up in a run-off against Jean-Marie Le Pen, Marine's father and the founder of the National Front. Le Pen making it into the second round came as something of a shock to French politics that year, and it resulted in parties from both sides of the aisle uniting behind Chirac to give him a 64.4% margin of victory over Le Pen in a second round that saw Le Pen only slightly improve on the 16.88% of the vote that was sufficient to get him into the runoff in that election. Obviously, Macron and his supporters are hoping that they see similar results, if not the overwhelming and historic margin of victory that Chirac received, in the runoff election coming up on May 7th.
This year, Ms. Le Pen ended up doing substantially better than her father did in the first round in 2002, earning 21.43% of the vote according to the latest available counts, a number that was largely in line with polling heading into yesterday. Despite that, the woman who has been called the Donald Trump of France and who Trump himself spoke positively of in the days before yesterday's election, faces an uphill battle arguably as steep as the one her father faced fifteen years ago:
Although vote counts are still being finalized, the first-round result should be a good one for pollsters, which correctly had Macron and Le Pen in the top two positions. In fact, the pre-election polls — which had shown Macron at 24 percent, Le Pen at 22 percent, the center-right François Fillon at 20 percent and the far-left-wing Jean-Luc Mélenchon at 19 percent — should come within a percentage point or two of the final result for each of the top four candidates.
The same polls show Macron in a dominant position in the runoff. He leads Le Pen by 26 percentage points in polls testing the two-way matchup, according to data compiled by G. Elliott Morris of The Crosstab.
And yet, observers of the race seem cautious about Macron's chances. Betting markets give Le Pen a 13 percent chance — about 1 in 7. Ian Bremmer, a political scientist who runs The Eurasia Group, has given Le Pen a 40 percent chance, meanwhile. (Bremmer's estimate wasn't based on any sort of statistical model; he argues that the polls don't reflect major elements of French politics.) And esteemed publications such as The Guardian are questioning whether the polls can be trusted at all, despite their accuracy on Sunday:
By contrast, polling-based models give Le Pen very little chance. Morris's model, at The Crosstab, gives Le Pen a 3 percent chance of winning the runoff. And a model designed by The Economist puts Le Pen's chances at less than 1 percent.
Notwithstanding the fact that pre-election polling ended up being largely in line with the first round results we saw yesterday, elections in several parts of the world have left many political analysts skeptical of relying on polling during what appears to be a particularly tumultuous time in politics in several parts of the world. Polls before the 2015 British General Election generally showed a far closer outcome between the Tories and Labour that the final result ended up showing, for example, and the same thing happened appeared to happen with respect to the Brexit vote last year, although the final result was largely consistent with the final numbers. Most recently, of course, Donald Trump surprised the world by winning the U.S. Presidency, albeit only due to the fact that the election was decided pursuant to the vote of the Electoral College rather than the total popular vote. In that case, though, it's worth noting that the final national polls were largely consistent with where the popular vote ended up, the problem was that state-level polling in areas such as the upper Midwest didn't pick up on the shift toward Trump in the final weeks of the campaign.
Given this history, there's plenty of reason to be careful about predicting the outcome of elections based on the polls alone. However, as Nate Silver goes on to note in the piece already quoted above, the odds clearly seem to be against Le Pen doing much better than she has already done in the first round, which would obviously not be sufficient to win a one-on-one runoff against Macron:
in my view, the conventional wisdom espoused by analysts such as Bremmer is more likely to be way more out to lunch. Before the U.S. election, Trump trailed Hillary Clinton by only about 2 percentage points in the average swing state.1 In the Brexit vote, the "Remain" campaign's lead was at least as narrow: about 2 points according to a simple average of polls, or just 0.5 percentage points according to a more complex averaging method. So while Trump's victory and Brexit were historic events in world history, they were utterly routine occurrences from a polling standpoint; 2- or 3-point polling errors are extremely common.
But while there were plenty of precedents for a polling error large enough to elect Trump, there aren't all that many examples of a 26-point polling error, which is what Le Pen would need. Pundits and other political observers often have poor intuition when it comes to translating polls into probabilities, leading them to treat narrow, fragile leads the same as double-digit ones. Ironically, the same type of sloppy thinking that led people to underestimate the chances for the Trump and Brexit victories may lead them to overestimate Le Pen's odds.
As Silver goes on to note, the other top vote getters in yesterday's election have already endorsed Macron and are urging their supporters to get behind him to defeat Le Pen in the runoff. This is the same thing that happened to her father, of course, and it led to a rebuke of the National Front that it didn't fully recover from until the elder Le Pen was removed from party leadership by a coalition led by his own daughter. The reality, of course, is that while the younger Le Pen changed some of the rhetoric of her party, the substance didn't change at all. It still represents the same anti-immigrant xenophobia it always has and Le Pen's own statements, such as her efforts to downplay French collaboration in helping Nazis send Jewish citizens of Vichy France to concentration camps and her too numerous to count derisive comments toward even legal immigrants to France, make her in some ways an even more dangerous candidate than her father. Additionally, were she to win and have the Parliamentary support necessary to enact her platform, her policies would tear apart the European Union, which has on balance been good for Europe and good for France, and result in a France that will become more insular, poorer, and, ironically given the fact that many conservatives here in the United States were cheering her victory on Twitter last night, more socialist.
Based on available data, Macron should see a decisive victory in the second round. It's still worth being cautious, of course, especially since it's unclear whether Le Pen's anti-European Union, anti-immigrant rhetoric will play better thanks to the fear of terrorism that has been stirred up by the wave of terror attacks that have hit France over the past couple of years. Hopefully, though, French voters will see this election for the stark choice that it represents and reject the xenophobia of Le Pen. If they do, then they'll instantly prove there smarter than at least 63 million Americans.

I was baffled to see *some* so-called conservatives supporting Le Pen. She's not conservative in any way shape or form. Her platform — which includes nationalizing banks — is way closer Melenchon than it is to anything resembling free-market conservatism. I hope she gets totally crushed in the election but don't have high hopes.
She's anti-immigrant. That trumps–you should pardon the expression–everything else.
Terrye Cravens says:
I don't think she can win, too many French people hate her. Even more than Americans hate Trump.
Just 'nutha ig'nint cracker says:
"…[French voters]'ll instantly prove there (sic) smarter than at least 63 million Americans."
That's not really as high a bar to clear as it seems.

Eric J. Gibson is a game designer who has worked primarily on role-playing games.
Career[]
Eric J. Gibson's Purgatory Publishing became the new owner of the West End Games, and the deal was announced by previous owner Humanoids Publishing on November 14, 2003.[1] Gibson's purchase of West End involved the Masterbook, d6 classic and D6 Legend rules systems, plus the Bloodshadows, Shatterzone and Torg settings, and the West End trademark itself.[1] Gibson's contribution to West End included turning d6 classic into a more generic system.[1] Gibson intended to publish Torg in a new edition and revitalize the line, but he ended up producing only two PDFs for the Torg line.[1]
When West End was having difficulty financing their publications, Gibson turned to Bill Coffin to publish his Septimus role-playing game, but even with preorders was unable to raise the money to print the book; in 2008, Gibson announced that he was cancelling Septimus, that he could not refund preorders, that he could not afford to ship books to people who wanted to take product instead of a refund, that none of his D6 lines had ever made money, that he had lost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and that he was would be dissolving West End Games.[1] Gibson claimed that he had decided not to sell off his properties, and did end up refunding Septimus preorders a year later - he also eventually released Bill Coffin's Septimus (2009) as a PDF, West End Games' last product.[1] Gibson released his core genre books under the OGL, so that the D6 system could be used by other publishers.[1] Gibson sold off West End's remaining properties: Torg went to German publisher Ulisses Spiele, and the Masterbook system and the Bloodshadows and Shatterzone settings both went to small US publisher Precis Intermedia.[1]

DLA Piper Global Law Firm
Industrial property rights are a key and valuable asset for any company – whether it involves protecting your trademarks, designs, patents and other innovations, or else exploiting and enforcing your intellectual property (IP). Amid globalized competition, it's important in every sector to defend your competitive advantage in your key markets, both at home and abroad.
The same is true when it comes to carrying out complex IT and outsourcing projects and optimizing your IT contract and licence management so as to avoid significant liability risks and competitive disadvantages. The ever-growing complexity of legal parameters makes it especially challenging to optimally develop, maintain and use intangible assets and to institute corporate processes on a secure legal foundation, while at the same time preserving economic efficiency. This is why you should turn to experienced experts in the field of IP, and technology and sourcing, whose practical advisory services are adapted to the local market while still paying attention to the global context.
DLA Piper's German Intellectual Property & Technology (IPT) team is an integral part of our international IPT network, and with more than 560 lawyers it is one of our firm's biggest practice groups. This practice group also includes our experts on distribution law, because the IPT and commercial areas are closely connected in the practice of business law. Of course, a key role in any company's operations is played by commercial and distribution law and the associated drafting of contracts. Our experts offer comprehensive advisory services in this area in a variety of industries and sectors, in both a national and international context – including CISG and Incoterms. You can benefit from our experience when it comes to optimizing your business objectives and harmonizing them with legal parameters at home and abroad.
Local and international integration – that's the basis of our IPT's advisory successes. You will find contacts in our German offices in Frankfurt, Hamburg, Cologne and Munich who not only have experience in their specific advisory field but also possess deeper knowledge of your sector – be it life science and health care, retail and consumer products, fashion and design, technology and IT infrastructure, automotive, industrials or sports, media and entertainment, to name only a few examples. Because of the breadth of our advisory practice, you can be assured of having the support of the right specialized adviser for your individual needs.
Our integrated team extensively advises national and international clients in all areas of industrial property rights, information technology and telecommunications law, data and confidentiality protection, and commercial and distribution law:
We can advise you in registering rights to protect your ideas and concepts. We can work with you or our outside patent lawyers in registering technical inventions to ensure that you have access to the right technical expert for your innovations.
When it comes to exploiting and enforcing your protected rights, our local focus means that we have extensive experience of the particular requirements of the relevant courts and (customs and registration) authorities. Because of our close international links with colleagues in other jurisdictions, cross-border litigation (and the strategic orientation of international proceedings in particular) is one of our specialities.
As experienced specialists, we can structure and manage complex technology-related transactions and (out)sourcing projects (project-specific advisory services) and optimize your IT contract and licence management (ongoing advisory services). We can also advise and represent you, both in technology-related legal disputes and in local and cross-border business transactions.
We provide advice on all legal aspects of dealing with business data. Besides advising on measures to protect general business data from espionage, the focus of our practice is on advising about personal data – from ensuring group-wide exchange (of, inter alia, employee data), through collecting and using customer data on the Internet in compliance with data protection regulations, to specific issues with respect to safeguarding medical data as well as banking and telecommunications secrecy. In these areas, we provide advisory services in both national and cross-border projects.
With our expertise, we can support you in creating and configuring the legal aspects of national and international distribution systems. Take advantage of our experience in developing, negotiating and executing your commercial contracts in all areas of operations. We will also help you to resolve conflicts and settle disputes, in or out of court.
If further aspects in other areas of law play a role, we will involve our specialized (German or foreign) colleagues so as to ensure optimal advisory services tailored to you and your company.
We advise clients in the following areas:
Information technology and telecommunications
Industrial property rights and intellectual property
Patent and utility model law

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Looking for something to do this Valentine's Day weekend? There are four new releases worth considering for date night.
"Alita: Battle Angel" should appeal to sci-fi film fans, while "Isn't It Romantic" is a romantic comedy that's also a parody of romantic comedies. "Happy Death Day 2U" delivers the scares in a PG-13 slasher movie and Dwayne Johnson stars in a biopic about WWE superstar Paige.


Special section examines Milwaukee 50 years after death of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Editor's Note: A look at Milwaukee 50 years after death of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has been examining where the community stands a half century after the open housing marches of 1967 and 1968.
Roll back the clock exactly 50 years, to March 25, 1968.
The scars of the riots of the previous August were fresh. The federal Kerner Commission had just concluded the riots across the nation resulted from African-American frustration over economic inequality and lack of opportunity.
The city's open housing marches, which spanned 200 nights, had ended, but despite their intensity — with thousands of marchers met by bottle-throwing throngs on the south side — no ordinance had passed the Common Council.
In a way, things were on pause.
Then came April 4, 1968 — the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. in Memphis.
The next day, more than 1,000 students walked out of North Division High School to attend a memorial service at St. Boniface Church, where Father James Groppi urged them to adhere to King's philosophy of nonviolence.
Three days later, anywhere from 14,000 (Milwaukee police estimate) to 25,000 (organizers' estimate) people marched down Wisconsin Ave. to honor King.
Within days, Congress passed the 1968 Civil Rights Act. Within weeks, the Common Council passed an open housing ordinance.
The story didn't end there, of course.
We are still living the story today.
Since last July, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has been examining where the community stands a half century after the marches of 1967 and 1968. Our 50-Year Ache project, with support from Aurora Health Care, has explored the corrosive effect decades of segregation have had on our community and where we go from here.
That work continues in this commemorative section, which marks 50 years since the death of King. It features memories of the civil rights movement, a look at the hope drawn from the recent economic resurgence of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive and ways to learn more about King and celebrate his legacy.
Greg Borowski is deputy editor/news, projects and investigations for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

1 surface cubit =7 sq. cubits ~=1.75 sq. m.
1 surface nikkas= 24.5 sq. cubits ~= 6.125 sq. m.
1 surface reed= 49 sq. cubits ~= 12.25 sq. m.
1 Ubu (of land) = ¼ panu (containing 36 qu)?

..Only roughly equivalent to the Northern systems.
2 kumanu = 1 awiharu ?
Ratio of Imeru:Iku is 1:5 not 1:4.
The Northern Iku and the Babylonian Iku were "roughly" equivalent.
Awiharu may mean "furrow length"; from the Nuzi Hurrians.

See Roman Actus; a furrow length of 120 Roman feet.
Iku=SQUARE ROPE of 120 x 120 Cubits?

See "provisions by SENNACHERIB of land for the citizens of Niniveh in the amount of 2 Panu each" ~=6 Iku? ~=120 Sila or Qu?
The cubic nindan can be describes as a cube consisting of 60 layers of 60 Bariga each.
Each layer consisting of 3600 sila cubes.
Thus the cubic nindan holds 60^3 sila cubes.
See fig. 17. 1 Gintur of volume base 6 x 6 fingers; height 1 cubit.
Base 1 nindan x 6 fingers x [ht] 1 cubit.
The cubic nindan plays no role after the Akkad reform.
See Nalbanum i. e. prototypical brick.
Its practical purpose was to express girth (circumference) of cylindrical or conical solids.

Do note this is a very suspect translation [By Eisenlohr].
It [RMP problem 85; an upside down; fist sized patch to the 20 foot long papyrus] is a version of the hieroglyphs converted and coded in a script form.
This writing generally is more pictographic than the usual writing styles in that the first sylabble of each pictogram represents a sound and then a word or concept which disguises the meaning.
Similar in practice to: ICU812 = "I see you ate one too."
This is not the standard for writing of any Egyptian period. This writing is known as enigmatic script and it ran parallel to the Egyptian's civilization from probably not much earlier than Ahmes the Scribes' writing of the RMP to Ptolemaic times. See ENIGMATIC; EDFU.

TBOS prides itself on having a dedicated and experienced accounts team who can manage any size or type of recruitment agency's back-office needs.
Formed in 1999, TBOS have over a decade's experience in helping new start-up and existing recruitment agencies with their outsourced back office needs. This is hugely beneficial to recruiters as they are able to concentrate on selling and growing their agency.
David Cole, Stewart Roberts and Oliver Quantrill have many years' of combined experience in back-office and accounting services to the recruitment sector. David has previously owned and run an accountancy practice and an umbrella company, whereas Stewart has in-house experience of managing the back-office of a large London-based recruitment agency. The pair are supported by qualified accountant Oliver Quantrill, their newly appointed Finance Director at TBOS. Using their combined skills and experience, they have developed a robust back-office service that allows recruiters to focus on recruiting, whilst TBOS looks after the complete administration side.
With that said, TBOS have developed a professional and experienced team of staff who cover every element of daily recruitment administration, this includes invoicing, management of agency payments and invoice finance, credit control, agency reporting and much more.
Our specialist process team is managed daily by our Pay & Bill Manager Rebecca Knowler, she oversees all aspects of the contractor/permanent placement process and ensures all processes are completed efficiently and accurately. Rebecca's team primarily looks after timesheet verification, invoice raising, invoice finance management and contractor payments (PAYE/Umbrella/Limited Company). Her team also handles any candidate and client queries (email or telephone) within a guaranteed 4 hour response time.
Our Credit Control team is managed by our Operations Manager Shannon Parr. Shannon ensures all contract and permanent invoices are verified and paid within payment terms. Shannon's team also works with TBOS clients to ensure all invoices are received, correctly raised and are paid on time. The team will then report any payment issues to the board of directors. Additionally, the team will also maintain credit limits and manage any legal claims should they arise.
Our expert accounts team is managed by our Finance Manager Fiona Gent. Fiona ensures all of the TBOS clients bookkeeping is completed daily with management reporting delivered within the scheduled monthly deadlines. Fiona's team will also completes all of the bank and invoice finance account reconciliations and process all expenses daily in order to produce the monthly management accounts for each agency. Furthermore, her staff will process internal staff payroll (including commissions), complete and submit VAT returns and produce the year-end statutory accounts for each recruitment agency.
The TBOS team provide a first-class back-office and accounts service to the recruitment industry at a fraction of the cost compared to an internal recruitment accounts team. We have built a winning administrative duo for recruiters to use as and when they need our back-office solution.


Bathed in eternal darkness, the City in Darkness hangs impossibly in a plane of complete nothingness. Flickering light from thousands of lanterns and torches illuminates what one could only describe as a huge rock suspended in space. The top of this rock is covered in closely huddled buildings that aim ever higher at an empty sky.

Plumbing Engineer's Top 10 in Their 20s: Jennifer Olson
Young engineers shine through commitment, perseverance and tenacity.
Sharon J. Rehana
Jennifer Olson, Plumbing & Fire Protection Engineering Specialist at STV, Inc., Boston
Inspired by the endless amount of knowledge in plumbing, Jennifer Olsen can't just stop seeking it. She moved from Portland, Oregon to Rochester, New York to pursue an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Rochester. After graduation, Jennifer began working at STV Inc. in Boston where she worked on HVAC, plumbing, and fire protection designs.
"For the first two years," she says, "I did all three disciplines. Then I focused on only fire protection and plumbing design."
At first, she knew absolutely nothing about plumbing engineering. "I didn't even know there was a difference between a duct and a pipe," she jokes. But the industry offered a world of knowledge for this young engineer. "There is no shortage of questions that can be asked."
After a couple of years of working, she went back to school to get her master's degree in engineering management from Tufts University in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. "I couldn't get enough lecture type learning and decided to enroll in another master's degree program at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, Massachusetts, this time, in fire protection engineering. I now have four years of industry experience at STV Inc, and I feel like I am learning more every day."
Today, back in Boston, she is a plumbing and fire protection engineering specialist at STV, Inc. A typical day at work consists of answering RFI's, reviewing submittals, performing plumbing and fire protection calculations, coordinating designs with other disciplines, and mentoring people who are new to the industry.
"I would probably say I didn't explicitly choose the plumbing engineering industry, but rather, the plumbing engineering industry chose me."
Following her path
Equipped with one master's degree and another on the way, coupled with a quest for knowledge, Jennifer stays in the industry because she says she's grown to love it.
"I love every single thing I learn. I love the fact that the amount that one can know is truly limitless," she says.
Jennifer isn't done gaining knowledge. Her short-term goals include getting her PE license, as well as her CPD certification. "I'm currently reading from cover to cover the ASPE fundamentals plumbing book."
As for long-term goals, she says she wants to build an army of plumbing engineers at STV Inc. "I want to pass on all that I have learned in the past four years to the people who have more recently started in the industry."
Learning & sharing
Being one who seeks knowledge, it's not surprising to learn Jennifer turns to research when she doesn't fully understand an aspect of a system. "When I figure out how it works and how to properly design it, I get really excited," she says. "I want to share that new understanding with others. I love teaching how plumbing systems work to the younger people because I enjoy solidifying that knowledge I have attained, and I feel like I am helping others progress in their understanding of plumbing engineering."
It's refreshing to see someone not only get so excited about the work she does, but also in wanting to share it with others. "I think the biggest challenge facing the industry today is the lack of knowledge that it even exists," she says. "In college, I never heard of plumbing engineers. I think that the lack of available plumbing engineer staffing and the lack of new-hire knowledge of plumbing engineering sets the industry back."
She sees her role as a plumbing design engineer at STV as an opportunity to address the challenge. "I make a difference at STV by mentoring the people who have recently graduated and getting them up to speed on plumbing engineering design," she says. "We sit down and go over why certain things within the design need to be done in different applications. I answer questions and teach them about what the designs on paper will look like in real life."
Jennifer's been thinking about writing a children's book about a girl walking down a sidewalk and observing different plumbing items along the way. "This would help some of the younger generation have a general understanding of some of the common plumbing related items we see every day," she says.
She points out that she was attracted to plumbing engineering because it is everywhere, and it is a necessity in almost every occupied structure. "I love that there is no shortage of work and a great diversity of work since most projects involve some sort of plumbing."
She adds, "If you have ever wondered how a toilet works, what the various pipes in your basement are, or why it takes a few seconds to get hot water from a sink, you should consider a plumbing engineering career! The coolest part of being a plumbing engineer is you have a technical understanding of why the scupper is pouring water during a storm, why the shower is hot for a while then slowly gets cooler, why there is a p-trap under the sink, etc."
At 26 years-old, Jennifer is on her way to being a knowledgeable and enthusiastic ambassador of the industry. When she's not in that role, she's a soccer player, children's book writer, hiker, adventurer, camper, laugher, traveler, planner, and cyclist! "I'm very satisfied with my life and it seems it just keeps getting better," she says. "I feel confident at work, I feel like I am progressing my academic life, and I recently got engaged to my best friend."
The sky's the limit for Jennifer, and we're excited to see where it leads next.
