Xenosmilus hodsonae (from Greek, , xenos, "strange" + , smilē, "chisel" ) is an extinct species of the Machairodontinae, or saber-toothed cats.

Description
The species name hodsonae originates from Debra Hodson, the wife of a researcher. Two fairly intact specimens were found by amateur fossil hunters in 1983 (1981 by some sources) in the Haile limestone mines in Alachua County, Florida. In 1994, the fossils were examined, and it was decided that the cats were of an entirely new genus. The fossils were of Irvingtonian age (1.8 to 0.3 Ma). Because the skeletons were found beside each other, some suspect Xenosmilus was a social mammal. Found alongside the two skeletons were dozens of peccary bones. It seems likely, with their muscular builds, that X. hodsonae preyed upon peccaries.

Physically, the cat reached around  long with a highly muscular body and weighed around , making it similar in size to the fellow machairodonts Machairodus horribilis and Adeilosmilus kabir. Only Smilodon populator was noticeably larger amongst the saber-toothed cats. , its also been found in quarries dating to the end Blancan such as Inglis 1a and Haile 7g, dating it up to 2 million years ago. The skull of Xenosmilus was  in length, slighty smaller than Amphimachairodus giganteus which was 14 inches in length, although xenosmilus is noted to have a proportionally shorter skull.

Classification
Xenosmilus is in the tribe Homotherini in the subfamily Machairodontinae of the cat family. A 2022 paper that reviewed the phylogeny of machairodonts in relation to a newly-described genus proposed that Xenosmilus was among the more derived members of the clade.

Xenosmilus is classified as a member of the Homotherini (sometimes referred to as Homotheriina), a tribe or subtribe of machairodonts. According to the 2022 study that suggests the subtribe hypothesis is correct while describing the transitional genus Taowu, Xenosmilus stands as a derived member of this subtribe, which is proposed to be nestled in the Machairodontini. This same study also suggests an increasing trend of robustness in more derived scimitar-toothed machairodonts, which may be a result of hunting slower, larger, and stronger types of prey.

Paleobiology
Before the discovery of Xenosmilus, all known saber-toothed cats fell into two general categories. Dirk toothed cats had long upper canines and stout legs. Scimitar toothed cats had only mildly elongated canines, and long legs. Xenosmilus broke these groupings by possessing both stout muscular legs and body, and short broad upper canines. Unlike most other saber-toothed cats, all of Xenosmilus's teeth were serrated, not just its fangs and incisors. The way its top teeth were lined up also allowed Xenosmilus to concentrate its bite force on two teeth at a time.

Xenosmilus has also been theorized by some to have hunted via a "bite and retreat" strategy using its teeth to inflict deep wounds because of the way its canines and incisors could operate as a unit during a bite, leading to Xenosmilus bearing the occasional moniker of "cookie-cutter cat". Studies published in 2022 suggest that Xenosmilus and other machairodonts such as Smilodon were also capable of efficiently removing meat from a kill without damaging their teeth, as evidenced by bite marks on the bones of Platygonus. This same study also suggests that machairodonts could consume at least smaller bones when feeding, similar to lions.

UFC flyweight Rachael Ostovich, who fights on Jan. 19 in Brooklyn, New York, told ESPN on Monday that she is comfortable with Greg Hardy competing on the same card.
"Nobody's story is the same, nobody's situation is the same," Ostovich said on Ariel Helwani's MMA Show. "I have nothing to do with Greg Hardy. I'm just grateful to be fighting again.
"I believe in second chances. I'm glad he's making a turnaround. I hope the same can happen to my husband and anyone else who has made a wrong choice."
Ostovich, 27, suffered a fractured orbital bone during an alleged assault by her husband, professional MMA fighter Arnold Berdon, in November. He was arrested and charged with second-degree assault. Ostovich's management initially announced she would not fight Paige VanZant on Jan. 19 because of her injuries, but she later was cleared to do so.
Hardy, a former NFL defensive lineman, was arrested and found guilty of assaulting a woman in 2014 by a judge in a bench trial. His conviction eventually was expunged.
Ostovich said the UFC asked her about Hardy's inclusion on the card after the promotion decided to put him on it. UFC president Dana White told TSN last month that he had spoken to Ostovich before booking Hardy.
Ostovich also said the UFC initially did not want her competing on the card but later came around to the idea after she pushed for it.
"[White] was very caring and nice about it," Ostovich said. "I know he gets a lot of heat, but there's no fishiness surrounding that thing. He was very concerned with my situation from the very beginning. He didn't even want me to fight, actually. I had to convince and beg him to let me fight."
The Honolulu native is 4-4 professionally. She is coming off a third-round submission loss to Montana De La Rosa in July.
VanZant has been part of the UFC since 2014. She has dropped three of her past four bouts, most recently a unanimous decision to Jessica-Rose Clark in January 2018.
Ostovich called the VanZant matchup "the biggest fight of my career" and said there was no way she was backing out of it.
"I had every reason to drop out, but this fight was so much bigger than just me and my problems," Ostovich said. "I want to be able to inspire and motivate others. Show people that you can do whatever you set your mindset to. We all go through problems. Everyone goes through struggles like me, and maybe even worse. You can do whatever you set your mind to."

Hello everybody! My name is Jani and I hail from Finland and I'm Jev's MAGIC MULE (whatever that means Rem.. ). I am a practical nurse and I work at a local children daycare from monday to friday between 8:00 and 15:39 and spend majority of my free time on my computer so I'm very available person. I love playing video games especially with friends and I keep playing World of Warcraft because I've always enjoyed Warcraft games and its the only MMO that I want to go back to. Why? I dont know. Blizzard always manages to find a way to make the game interesting again.
What's special about me? Everything! But jokes aside, I've been mistaken for a girl soo many times I think that qualifies as special.
Ahem.. I've been playing on Argent Dawn since classic WoW pretty much. I've raided from Molten Core to Naxx 40 as a healer (priest). During TBC I mainly played PvP (2,1k rating yaaay!) and raided Karazhan. WOTLK I raided all the way to Ulduar as a healer priest. Cataclysm as a druid tank all the way to Firelands. MoP was very PvP focused for me. WoD was pretty meh after a month.
Cant remember the vanilla raiding group, but alot of the peeps were from High Guard.. I think. After that it's been with Angry Moose since TBC (I am one of the founding members and alot of my RL friends still raid there). I left Angry Moose because I got struck by major lack of interest for WoD.
Priest, Death Knight, Rogue, Shaman, Druid, Warrior. Plenty more hovering around 90.
Nah, probably just makes me hungry.
Character: Vivyna, mage, human female, 100.
Just looked around for a fire mage build and took it from Icy-Veins. I always strive to maximize my own dps output so whatever spec and build is viable AND fun (cant forget to have fun!) I'm open for it.
All the cool kids I know play there so its only a logical choice.
Just got home from work sooo... FOOD TIME!
Welcome to raiding with Seventh Flight!
Tervetuloa oh almighty magic mule! Glad for another ranged in a raid group. Gave you rank of Murlocslayer in the guild. Once raids begin, it will be adjusted accordingly after couple of raids.

Q: How to create database/entities in complex situation I have a Symfony 4 application on which users can view sports events and register themselves for these events. I use Doctrine as ORM and EasyAdminBundle for an admin panel.
I'm having difficulty with figuring out how to structure my entities and how things should be stored in the database. I have 2 main entities, Event and Registration. I will explain these in detail.
Event
Event stores all details about an event. There are some fixed  properties that all events have, like:

*

*id

*title

*description

*startDate

*endDate (optional)

*isPublic

*eventType
As you can see, each event has a type. Most events are simple and do not contain additional properties. However, there is an event type for which I want to store some additional properties. I'll call this type complexEventType from here on out. I'll describe what kind of properties I want to keep for these events:

*

*How many days does the event take (this varies)?

*For each day: what activities can be done one this day. This should be editable by an admin in the admin panel. There are activities like running, biking, walking, but it should be possible to add other sports.

*Each activity has an optional array of generic options (string). Most of the time, these represent distances.

An example complexEventType could look like this:

*

*Day 1

*

*Walking

*

*5km

*8km

*12km

*Running

*

*10km

*12km

*16km

*Biking

*

*30km

*40km

*60km

*Day 2

*

*Walking

*

*8km

*10km

*12km

*Running

*

*12km

*14km

*18km

*Biking

*

*40km

*50km

*70km

*Day 3

*

*Swimming

*Running

*

*12km

*14km

*18km

*Biking

*

*40km

*50km

*70km

Some questions arise here:

*

*Should I subclass the Event instead of keeping a type property?

*If I subclass, should each event type have a separate table?

*Instead of subclassing, should I keep the options property and make it nullable so that it doesn't need to be set for events where there are no options?

*How to store the options in the database? As a JSON object? Or separate tables for days and activities?

Registration
Users can register for events. Their registration will be saved in a Registration object. A registration contains the following properties:

*

*id

*event (reference to the event object)

*user (reference to the registered user)

If the isPublic boolean from the event is true, the event is public and non-authenticated users can register for them. In that case, I want to keep some extra information:

*

*firstName

*lastName

*email
Depending on the eventType property from the event, some extra properties need to be saved. For example, one event type takes places in a foreign country. For this event type, I want to know if the user wants to stay in a hotel (boolean) and whether it's ok if he/she sleeps in a shared room (boolean). For another event type, no details are kept. For the complexEventType, we need to store which activity the user is doing on what days, and the chosen option for each activity (distance).
I'm kind of in the dark about how I should approach this situation. For now, I created an abstract Registration entity, which is subclassed by PublicRegistration and  PrivateRegistration. PublicRegistration keeps properties like firstName and lastName, while PrivateRegistration stores a pointer to the User object. Right now, Registration stores all possible options, which are all nullable. This works, but it doesn't look good at all. I'd rather have the options separated. I was thinking to make an RegistrationOptionInterface. Then, for each event type, I could create a class that implements this interface and adds options. However, I don't know how this would then be saved to the database...
Can anybody point me in the right direction? Has anybody encountered a similar situation before, and if so, how did you solve it?

Russia Seeks Apple's Help in Blocking Telegram Messenger
Following Telegram's refusal to offer backdoor access to the Federal Security Service (FSB) earlier this year, Russia initiated a nationwide ban on the end-to-end encrypted messaging app back in April. However, the government has so far only been able to disrupt the Moscow-based app's operations by 15 to 30%.
According to Roskomnadzor, the country's communications watchdog, the Kremlin has now asked Apple to pull the Telegram messaging app from the Russian App Store, WCCFTech reports.
"In order to anticipate Roskomnadzor's likely response to the violations regarding the operation of the aforesaid Apple, Inc. services we are asking you to notify us within the tightest deadlines of the company's further actions regarding the solution of these issues," the watchdog's press-service says.
"We sent them a legally binding letter and are awaiting their legally binding reply," said Roskomnadzor's director Alexander Zharov, adding that the iPhone maker has one month to pull the app from the Russian App Store. When asked what actions will be taken if Apple doesn't comply, Zharov said, "For now, I would not like to forecast further actions".
On April 13, a court in Moscow sustained a request from the telecom watchdog for blocking access to Telegram, which then sent its first notification on April 17 to AppStore and Google Play demanding permanent removal of the Telegram app.

Patents everywhere
Apple's latest patent relates to a head-mounted display
What on Earth could that be for?
Apple has been granted a patent relating to eye tracking.
The tracking unit would likely be head-mounted.
The patent was originally filed back in 2016.
Apple has been snapping up eye tracking patents all year and its third has now been granted. Just like the others, this one comes from the company's acquisiton of SMI SensoMotoric Instrumments in Germany. And it relates to a fancy head-mounted display system.
As the folks at Patently Apple note, a new patent titled "Eye tracking device and method for operating an eye tracking device" has been granted. This one relates to an eye tracking device that includes an optical system which is capable of capturing at least part of an eye.
The eye tracking device further comprises a processing unit for determining at least one property of the at least one eye, e.g. the gaze direction, based on the captured images. Moreover, the capturing unit is configured to capture a first image and a second image of the at least one part of the at least one eye of the user. The invention also relates to a corresponding method for operating an eye tracking device.
There are multiple potential implementations for such tracking, but they all need to be attached to someone's head in order to work. That could be glasses, a headset, or something else altogether.
The eye tracking device may be a head-mounted eye tracking device, like an eye tracking spectacle device, or an eye tracker integrated in a helmet or also integrated in a head-mounted display device, in virtual reality glasses, in augmented reality glasses or other head worn devices.
We'd strongly suggest checking the Patently Apple piece out because it has way more detail than we're going to get into here. This isn't a particularly new patent either – it was originally filed back in Q4 of 2016 and carries patent number 10,437,327.
It's also very important to remember that not all patents turn into shipping products, especially in the world of Apple. The company applies for patents each and every time one of its engineers invents something worth patenting. Even if it is never likely to appear in a product in Apple's lineup.

On May 12, NASA's planet-hunting spacecraft Kepler began the 18th observing campaign of its extended mission, K2. For the next 82 days, Kepler will stare at clusters of stars, faraway galaxies and a handful of solar system objects, including comets, objects beyond Neptune and an asteroid closer to Earth. The Kepler spacecraft is expected to run out of fuel within several months.
Campaign 18 is a familiar patch of space as it's approximately the same region of sky that Kepler observed during Campaign 5 in 2015. One of the advantages of observing a field over again is that planets outside the solar system, called exoplanets, may be found orbiting farther from their stars. Astronomers hope to not only discover new exoplanets during this campaign, but also to confirm candidates that were previously identified.
Open clusters are regions where stars formed at roughly the same age, including Messier 67 and Messier 44, otherwise known as Praesepe or the Beehive cluster. Home to six known exoplanets, the Praesepe cluster will be searched anew for objects that are transiting, or crossing, around these and other stars.
At approximately 800 million years old, the stars in Praesepe are in their teenage years compared to our Sun. Many of these youthful stars are active and have large spots that can reveal information about a star's magnetic field, a fundamental component of a star that drives flaring and other activity that may have influence over habitability. By comparing brightness data collected in campaigns 18 and 5, scientists can learn more about how a star's spots cycle over time.
At several billion years old, the Messier 67 cluster is much older and has many Sun-like stars. It is one of the best-studied open clusters in the sky. Astronomers will continue their studies of stellar astrophysics by analyzing Messier 67's stars for changes in brightness. They will search for the signatures of exoplanets, observe the pulsations of evolved stars and measure the rotation rates of many other stars in the cluster.
Beyond these clusters, Kepler will observe blazars, the energetic nuclei of faraway galaxies with black holes in their centers. These objects propel jets of hot plasma toward Earth — though they are far too distant to affect us. The most notable of these targets is OJ 287, a system hosting two black holes in orbit around each other, one of which is 18 billion times the mass of the Sun!
Even closer to home, Kepler will look at solar system objects, including comets, trans-Neptunian objects and the near-Earth asteroid 99942 Apophis. This 1,000-foot chunk of rock will pass within 20,000 miles of Earth in the year 2029 — close but still comfortably far enough to not pose any danger to Earthlings.

NASA's Ames Research Center manages the Kepler and K2 missions for NASA's Science Mission Directorate. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, managed Kepler mission development. Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corporation operates the flight system with support from the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado in Boulder.
In October 2009, oversight of the Kepler project was transferred from the Discovery Program at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, AL, to the Exoplanet Exploration Program at JPL
The loss of a second of the four reaction wheels on board the Kepler spacecraft in May 2013 brought an end to Kepler's four plus year science mission to continuously monitor more than 150,000 stars to search for transiting exoplanets. Developed over the months following this failure, the K2 mission represents a new concept for spacecraft operations that enables continued scientific observations with the Kepler space telescope. K2 became fully operational in June 2014 and is expected to continue operating until 2017 or 2018.

With the passage of Proposition 64, we recognized a unique opportunity to take a proactive approach to working with legal cannabis growers in our area. Given many cannabis operations had been operating outside of regulatory statutes and were possibly unaware of many resource issues, USLTRCD felt a need to provide technical expertise and work at the ground-level with local growers. Our role in the community is not to tell growers what they should and shouldn't do to conserve resources, we envisioned our role as giving growers a set of tools to evaluate their successes and areas needing improvement, and to give them a resource to use to market themselves as good stewards. With this vision, we created the Growing Responsible And Socially Sustainable – Cannabis (GRASS-C) program which is a self-assessment/third party verification program. The program has caught the interest of local cannabis growers and stakeholders across the state. Recently, the California Association of Resource Conservation Districts (CARCD) was approached by a funding agency to help RCDs work with cannabis growers in their districts to utilize GRASS-C as a tool for collaboration.
USLTRCD, along with several other participating RCDs, are moving forward with the GRASS-C program, updating it, and involving a wider array of stakeholders who see the benefit of having sustainably, locally-sourced cannabis. With funding now available, our RCD can work directly with landowners to provide technical assistance regarding their land use practices, cannabis operation, and certifying workforce equity.
In order to further assist growers in our area, USLTRCD, Coastal San Luis RCD, and Cachuma RCD will be hosting a cannabis focused workshop in the upcoming months. The intent of the workshop is to bridge gaps between permitted cannabis growers, resource agencies, and technical experts, provide opportunities for discussion about resource concerns, and to build partnerships. If you are interested in learning more about the GRASS-C program, this upcoming workshop will the a great opportunity. Stay tuned to our newsletter for more information.

TVNZ's CEO says it's the internaional comeptition which keeps him up at night (image: supplied / Tina Tiller)
'Google is our biggest competitor': CEO Kevin Kenrick reimagines TVNZ for the digital age
Duncan Greive | Managing Editor
Facing streaming giants with multi-billion dollar budgets, the state broadcaster has announced it expects a big 2020 loss. Duncan Greive goes to find out why TVNZ CEO Kevin Kenrick is still smiling.
Kevin Kenrick is dreaming big. "I think our biggest competition, because of their ability to wrap their hands around the digital revenue streams, would be Google and YouTube," he says. "[That's why] it's not enough to be the biggest local player," he says. "We've got to be three times bigger than what we are to have critical mass."
It's an arresting statement. To talk of immense growth at this moment, after a winter which has had media executives throwing around the word crisis amidst a string of poor results. MediaWorks, owner of TVNZ's crosstown rival Three, has openly wondered whether its television business can even survive.
Yet there he is, CEO of TVNZ, suggesting that it needs to triple in size. To put that in perspective, to achieve that it would need something like the revenue of TVNZ, Stuff and NZME (owner of half of New Zealand's commercial radio, and publishers of the NZ Herald) – combined. To put it in further perspective, over the past 20 years TVNZ's revenue, far from marching forwards, has in fact shrunk by nearly 40%.
An absurd goal, on the face of it. And yet of all the big four ad-funded media outlets – MediaWorks, NZME and Stuff being the others – TVNZ is in easily the best position to weather the current storm, to survive the pinch bedeviling media worldwide. Of the four, it has the most committed owner, in the New Zealand government. When it made the strategic decision to forego dividends "for the foreseeable future" in favour of investing in its digital transition, its board simply informed its minister, former TVNZ journalist Kris Faafoi, who readily accepted it.
Three's campaign to turn off TVNZ's commercial taps
The news was greeted with amazement by Three, whose CEO, Michael Anderson, told The Spinoff in an interview that he thought the government should consider making TVNZ non-commercial to protect the diversity of news providers. Kenrick says he understands why Anderson is making the case.
"If I was one of the other commercial players, I'd probably push that angle as well," he says. "If I could sell it, I reckon I should be given a knighthood. Cause it's so self-serving, you kind of go, well, why wouldn't you have a crack? But I'm not sure what problem it's solving other than actually helping someone's vested interest."
Anderson has a point, to a point. TVNZ is a rare bird in the world television marketplace, in being both wholly government-owned and run on a for-profit basis without any public good charter (it had one, but National scrapped it). Yet Kenrick suggests that all it is doing is channelling profits back into its business as it undergoes a once-in-a-lifetime transition from linear to digital.
"I think that the media sector is in a phase where people are either choosing to invest or they're looking to exit," he says. "And I see NZME investing in this business. I see Sky investing in its business. I see TVNZ investing in this business. I think some others are waving the white flag. So that's a choice."
He says that MediaWorks' pleading is ironic, given that while its television business is losing millions of dollars a year, its ultimate owners, Oaktree Capital, are more than capable of investing to help it out. "If I look at their majority shareholder, a VC fund with US$120 billion at their disposal, I don't believe they can't afford to invest if they chose to. So I think it's their choice. And in fact they've got the deepest pocketed shareholders of any media company in New Zealand."
MediaWorks CEO Michael Anderson
Three put on a show the day The Spinoff's interview with Anderson was released, with Duncan Garner shutting off the studio lights on the AM Show to make a lively if somewhat garbled plea to Faafoi for help. Garner's boss, Newshub head Hal Crawford, put the case more surgically in an opinion piece entitled 'The Problem with News in New Zealand', talking of his frustration at the "polluted waters" he says TVNZ creates. The government appeared unmoved by the extraordinary episode, simply restating that it intended to have an announcement to make on journalism by the year's end.
The competition is global, not local
Seated in a semi-private meeting room on the seventh floor of TVNZ's sparkling headquarters in downtown Auckland, Kenrick does a reasonably convincing impression of a man above such petty concerns. He says he is "not actively involved" in a conversation with Faafoi about decommercialising TVNZ, which seems to indicate that it has definitely been discussed. But if there's motion around any type of reform, it still seems a while off.
Kenrick doesn't want to talk about that. He doesn't really want to talk about the local market at all. His sightlines are looking outwards, rather than in. "I think the big change that has occurred in the marketplace is a shift in competition from local versus local to local versus global," he says. "And I think that it's getting to the point that everyone's got to make a choice. Are you up for that competition? Because if you are, you're going to have to put your hand in your pocket, you're going to have to invest and you're gonna have to go really hard at that. When we look at competitors like Netflix and Amazon and Disney+, they are prepared to lose billions of dollars a year to create a future business."
Put in that context, TVNZ's projection of a $17m loss in 2020 looks hopelessly unambitious. This focus on international competition isn't just a fun way of slighting Anderson and MediaWorks (though it is that, too). It's also a hard fact.
Five years ago, in 2014, TVNZ published an annual report which talked about its ratings in various demographics. It published the top 20 shows of the year for those aged 25-54. In 20th place was Trophy Wife, a one-season-then-cancelled US sitcom, which averaged 190,000 viewers and took a 10% share of all available viewers in that age range.
In the most recent Nielsen ratings released, the 20th most popular show in 25-54 commanded an audience less than half that size. Shortland St, once a ratings juggernaut, drew just 160,000 viewers in the demographic, significantly less than that unloved bomb of sitcom.
New Zealanders haven't stopped watching television in the intervening years. They have simply changed channels. In 2014, Lightbox had just launched and Netflix required a VPN. Today Netflix is, according to a 2018 NZ on Air survey, New Zealand's second-most popular channel.
It's also one of the world's most valuable companies, which is why the likes of Disney, HBO and Amazon are all pouring those billions into ad-free subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) platforms. They're commissioning nine figure budgets without blinking, and increasingly stopping selling what rights they own to other networks in favour of going direct-to-consumer. So it's both product differentiation and necessity which is driving a new strategic emphasis on content.
"If you're going to compete, you need to compete on terms that are favourable to you rather than the terms that are set by the competitor," says Kenrick. "For us, that means a much, much bigger focus on local content. We won't access more international content than the international players. In the year ahead we're going to increase investment on local content by around $20 million year-on-year. Now, it's a rounding error versus the US$13 billion invested by Netflix. But it's a step in the right direction."
A re-emphasis on local content
In the 2014 TVNZ annual report, the faces of Mike Hosking and Toni Street smiled from the cover. They were its local stars, both since departed, but the slate behind them was relatively thin. Since then, TVNZ has commenced a major shift to reclaim the 'champions of New Zealand content' mantle which Three had a plausible claim to for a while there. It has recruited a number of ex-Sky and Three stars, most notably John Campbell, Hilary Barry and Scotty Stevenson, and poured money into creating local originals for its TVNZ OnDemand platform. (This has been matched on the exec side, with the highly-regarded likes of Cate Slater and Nevak Rogers joined by new recruits like Melodie Robinson).
Even reality TV, once unquestionably owned by Three (though pioneered by TVNZ), has become far more contested ground, with the likes of The Great Kiwi Bake Off and a revived Celebrity Treasure Island palpably different in intent to the more frenetic and adult likes of The Block and Married at First Sight.
Team Kahu looking wet on TVNZ's Celebrity Treasure Island.
Along with local content and original reality, the third way of differentiating your product in television is sports. For decades TVNZ essentially ceded this ground to Sky, who outbid them for everything as its subscription juggernaut gathered pace. Yet over the past few years TVNZ has quietly re-emerged, taking on events like the Commonwealth Games and Wimbledon. Then, in an audacious move, it partnered with Spark to buy the rights to this year's Rugby World Cup. It's a smart play – should there be anything like the technical difficulties which plagued Optus in Australia during the 2018 football world cup, TVNZ will function as backstop.
Kenrick sees sports as one of the increasingly rare opportunities to create appointment viewing in the VOD era. "One of the reasons that news is so strong is because it's live – and that's equally why sports is so strong," he says. "There's some sport that we can do ourselves. America's Cup is a good example of that. And there's others that we're just not big enough to be able to do on our own and you need a combination of the ad-funded and the subscription-funded to make it commercially viable."
While it is partnering with Spark on the RWC, Kenrick says he's leaving the door open to working with Sky in the future, and speaks admiringly of the energy new CEO Martin Stewart has brought to the role.
Stewart has in many ways attempted to do in six months what Kenrick has done in six years – pivot hard to digital, create partnerships, and send a message to the market that while linear television is not yet dead, his exec has a plan for what comes next. Both businesses share a strange quality, in that each are unquestioned leaders in their sectors (pay TV and free-to-air) within New Zealand, while most market analysts write them off. The key difference is that while Sky shares are at a multi-decade low, Kenrick has the luxury of not having his performance measured by the market every day.
This allows him the opportunity to convey a level of calm and farsightedness that his contemporaries lack. MediaWorks' Anderson would say that's because there's an implicit bailout baked into its government ownership, and it's obvious that there is a significant structural advantage for TVNZ. Yet it's how you use your advantage which matters. Kenrick and TVNZ are doing all they can to convince New Zealand's advertisers and audiences that they can handle this extraordinary transition, and carve out a space of their own even as the billions rain down in the peak content era.
"I don't think we're naive about the challenge, but I think we've got an optimistic view and high ambitions for the role that we can play in that," he says as our interview draws to a close. "I do think that the fundamentals of the industry are that there's some great ingredients to work with.
"We reach two million viewers per day. We've got our most watched news, current affairs, local entertainment content. We've got the leading local player in terms of on-demand streaming."
He pauses, perhaps aware that for all that, what lies ahead of TVNZ is extraordinarily difficult. Digital growth stubbornly refuses to make up for a decline in linear revenue. Indeed, a 38% increase in digital audience only created a 31% rise in digital revenue. So it's far from clear that there's even a business there once TVNZ completes its transition. But Kenrick seems undaunted, genuinely relishing the scale of what stands in front of him.
"We still have a mother of a challenge up against the global players… But you know, we're going to have a crack."

In a previous ITGS News post I wrote about using simulators and virtual worlds in medical training. Players created avatars in the world and interacted with 3D models of real life medical equipment using the mouse and keyboard, or interacted in real life with digital patient simulators.
A new £60,000 operating table at St Mary's hospital in London takes things a step further, presenting a full sized 3D digital model of the human body on a flat, human size display.
The system has many advantages over traditional physical models and practising on human cadavers. Doctors, surgeons and medical students can move, rotate, and zoom in on the body, controlling it entirely by touch. Skin, bones, blood vessels and organs can all be "switched on" or off, giving doctors a unique insight not achievable with other medical training methods.
Data from patients' CT scans can even be incorporated to help doctors see the extent of their condition and plan operations in detail.
The system isn't cheap but it is hoped it will help medical students gain more hands on experience which will help them in their studies and improve their skills for when they start working with real patients.
The video below shows the designers, Anatomage, presenting the system at the TED conference.

White Peony, known locally as "Bai Mu Dan" or "Pai Mu Tan", is one of the top 10 Chinese famous teas. Fuding and Zhenghe Counties are the hometown of White Peony Tea. Peonies are flowers of the wealthy in China — maybe that's why the name is borrowed to label the tea. The tea leaves, with white downy hair, look like white peony flowers. The tea has two leaves, with a bud in the middle. They are tender, bulging like waves, and white downy hairs are covered all over the back. After being infused, the green leaves set off the tender buds, which looks like the blooming of the peony, graceful and elegant. The liquor is bright, clean and takes on apricot-yellow color, and the taste is mellow and fresh.
Bai Mudan tea is also a delicious white tea that consists of buds and leaves picked from great white tea plant in the early spring, sometimes blended with buds and leaves plucked from daffodil plant. The silvery bud is enfolded by green leaves, and it looks like a flower. When steeped, the green leaves unfold resembling petals of a peony blossom. That's just as a inchoately blooming white peony.
The latest research reveals that white tea has 10 times more antioxidants than vitamin E and may be a more effective cancer fighter than even green tea. White Peony tea health benefits are similar to those of other white teas. White tea contains more polyphenols than green or black tea, which gives it more antioxidant power. The benefits of white tea haven't been as well studied as those of green tea, but, according to some research, white tea has more anti-bacterial and anti-viral benefits than other tea types.

Tokai's double whammy
Danny Anderson
Support dog Tokai has provided a lifeline for a mother and son for the past eight years.
Trish Bretton' support dog Tokai has not only transformed her own life for the better – but that of her son Luke too.
Trish, aged 52, from Wetherby in West Yorkshire, has suffered from multiple sclerosis for the past 13 years. Over the years it has progressed and affected her mobility, and she now needs a walking frame.
A single mum, Trish originally bought Tokai, a Labrador/ whippet cross, as a pet for Luke's 14th birthday, so that he could get out and about with his friends and enjoy his teenage years.
But then she met someone with MS who had a support dog and realised it provided exactly the kind of help that she needed. She applied to Support Dogs for Tokai to be her disability assistance dogs, and Tokai was assessed, then passed her training with flying colours.
That meant when Tokai became Trisha's official disability assistance dog Luke could go out and leave his mum safe in the knowledge that Tokai would look after her.
"I didn't want Luke to be my carer and I didn't want him to be stuck at home with me, or worry about leaving me on my own," explained Trish. "As well as being an invaluable support to me, Tokai has given my son greater independence. He has thrived, and all the things he has done since we got Tokai has been down to her.
She has changed two lives – mine, and the life of my son."
Luke, now 22, went to university, and is now a supply teacher and is in the RAF Reserves. He hopes to join the RAF in the future.
Trish's MS has progressed since she was diagnosed in 2005. She describes it as 'like a dripping tap, getting worse over time very slightly.' She has had to give up work, doesn't get out that often, and sometimes struggles to cope.
"I use a frame constantly but I can still drive – my car is like my mobility scooter, Says Trish. " I could drive from Scotland to Devon, but the problem is when I get out of the car!"
Trish used to be able to walk Tokai in the local park, but now she drives to the park where her dog-walking friend takes Tokai for a free run, as she sits in the car.
Apart from her pride in Luke's achievements, Tokai remains the shining light in Trish's life.
"She is fantastic. She does so much around the house. Because of my balance I drop a lot of things and she is always there to she pick things up for me; the phone, the post, all sorts. And if there is a problem or I have a fall she barks on demand and alerts my neighbour, who knows something is going on. I doubt I would go out at all without her.
"I get very anxious when I'm in company, but when I'm with Tokai the conversation goes straight to her, and that stops me panicking; she is amazing."
Says Luke: ''Having Tokai round definitely took a load of my mind. I was always happy to help but Tokai took away more of the worry associated with the circumstances, and like mum says it allowed me to get on with a number of things that ultimately led to where I am today.
"Tokai is such a smart dog and despite mum 'borrowing' her, she's definitely still my pet and friend. I'm very grateful for the help she lends Mum but I'm also thankful to Mum as I'm confident that Tokai's presence allowed her to keep me on the right track, making sure I got through all the things I was doing from 14 years old up until now."
"I think we were both somehow relieved by Tokai being around, allowing us both to do what we needed to do.''
Tokai is coming to the end of her career as an assistance dog, and once retired will revert to being Luke's pet
Trish is due to be matched with a new dog by Support Dogs and go through the lengthy process of re-establishing a relationship with another canine companion. "I'm anxious about losing the one thing that keeps me going, "she says. "But of course I will be getting a lovely new dog – thank you Support Dogs."

So, after bills are passed by both houses of Congress and signed into law by the President, they become Acts—enactments of Congress.
After this initial publication, all Slip Laws are published in permanent volumes known as "Session Laws," which are essentially just a chronological publication of all Acts passed by Congress in each legislative session.
This version of the law actually represents the official positive law, so if later there turns out to be some inconsistency in the printing, the Statutes at Large version is the prevailing version.
The Statutes at Large prevail in all cases except when you're dealing with a Title of the U.S. Code that has been enacted into positive law.
This doesn't apply to Title 50, which is the most important Title for purposes of intelligence law, so the Statutes at Large version is going to be the official version of whatever statute you're working with in Title 50.
Ø Practice Pointer: The truth is that even though it's the official version of the law, you are almost never going to use the United States Statutes at Large in practice—at least not as a first stop on your research tour. You're always going to look law up in the U.S. Code.
 See Cassandra L. Foley, Congressional Research Serv., Federal Statutes: What They Are and Where to Find Them (2009), available at https://intelligencelaw.com/files/pdf/law_library/crs/RL30812_1-30-2009.pdf ("When Congress passes a law, it may amend or repeal earlier enactments or it may write on a clean slate. Newly enacted laws are published chronologically, first as separate statutes in "slip law" form and later cumulatively in the bound volumes of the Statutes at Large. Additionally, most statutes are also incorporated into the United States Code (U.S.C.). The U.S.C. and its commercial counterparts, United States Code Service (U.S.C.S.) and United States Code Annotated (U.S.C.A.) take the federal statutes that are of a general and permanent nature and arrange them by subject into fifty separate titles. As the statutes that underlie the Code are revised, superseded, or repealed, the provisions of the Code are updated to reflect these changes.").
 See Cassandra L. Foley, Congressional Research Serv., Federal Statutes: What They Are and Where to Find Them (2009), available at https://intelligencelaw.com/files/pdf/law_library/crs/RL30812_1-30-2009.pdf ("Slip laws (both public laws and private laws) are accumulated, corrected and published at the end of each session of Congress in a series of bound volumes entitled Statutes at Large. The laws are cited by volume and page number (e.g., 96 Stat. 1259 refers to page 1259 of volume 96 of the Statutes at Large). Researchers are most likely to resort to this publication when they are interested in the original language of a statute or in statutes that are not codified in the Code, such as appropriations or private laws.").
 1 U.S.C. § 112 (2006) ("The Archivist of the United States shall cause to be compiled, edited, indexed, and published, the United States Statutes at Large, which shall contain all the laws and concurrent resolutions enacted during each regular session of Congress; all proclamations by the President in the numbered series issued since the date of the adjournment of the regular session of Congress next preceding; and also any amendments to the Constitution of the United States proposed or ratified pursuant to article V thereof since that date, together with the certificate of the Archivist of the United States issued in compliance with the provision contained in section 106b of this title. In the event of an extra session of Congress, the Archivist of the United States shall cause all the laws and concurrent resolutions enacted during said extra session to be consolidated with, and published as part of, the contents of the volume for the next regular session. The United States Statutes at Large shall be legal evidence of laws, concurrent resolutions, treaties, international agreements other than treaties, proclamations by the President, and proposed or ratified amendments to the Constitution of the United States therein contained, in all the courts of the United States, the several States, and the Territories and insular possessions of the United States."); see also 73 Am. Jur. 2d Statutes § 42 (2008) ("It is provided by federal statute that the United States Statutes at Large are legal evidence of laws, concurrent resolutions, treaties, international agreements other than treaties, proclamations by the President, and proposed or ratified amendments to the Constitution of the United States therein contained, in all the courts of the United States, the several states, and the territories and insular possessions of the United States.").
 See 1 U.S.C. § 112 (2006); see also 73 Am. Jur. 2d Statutes § 42 (2008) ("Although the inclusion of a provision in the United States Code establishes the provision prima facie as a law of the United States, the Code does not prevail over the Statutes at Large when the two are inconsistent.").
 See Cassandra L. Foley, Congressional Research Serv., Federal Statutes: What They Are and Where to Find Them (2009), available at https://intelligencelaw.com/files/pdf/law_library/crs/RL30812_1-30-2009.pdf ("the canvas upon which Congress works is often an updated, stand-alone version of an earlier public law (e.g., Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, as amended), and not the U.S. Code. On the "Titles of United States Code" page of the Code an asterisk appears next to some of the titles. The asterisks refer to a note that states: "This title has been enacted as positive law." If the title is asterisked, the Code provides the authoritative version of the public law, as amended. For example, there is no asterisk beside Title 42 of the U.S.C. Thus, the provisions codified in Title 42 are not authoritative. Should there be a discrepancy, a court will accept the language in the Statutes at Large as the authoritative source and not the Code. It should be noted that there is no substantive difference between the language of the public law as published in the Statutes at Large and that of the Code.").

Q: why javascript ignores changes in default text of the textbox? I can't understand why javascript ignores changes of the default text of the textbox?
More details:
The textbox has default text as 'Search'. When client tries to submit the search form with the default text, it should return false and get focus back to the textbox.
<asp:Panel CssClass="search rnd" ID="SearchBox" runat="server" DefaultButton="btnSearch">
    <asp:TextBox ID="txtSearch" runat="server" ValidationGroup="searchForm" MaxLength="100" CssClass="text" Text="Search" onfocus="if ( this.value == 'Search') { this.value = ''; }" onblur="if ( this.value == '' ) { this.value = 'Search'; }"></asp:TextBox>

    <asp:RequiredFieldValidator CssClass="hdn rf" ID="RequiredFieldValidator1" ControlToValidate="txtSearch" runat="server" ErrorMessage="*"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
</asp:Panel>

Please someone help me!

A: You are assigning instead of comparing.
Change: if ( document.getElementById('<%= txtSearch.ClientID %>').value = 'Search')
To if ( document.getElementById('<%= txtSearch.ClientID %>').value == 'Search')

A: Your code is working well , I just put the code in a function and called it OnClientClick
you also forgot to use == instead of = in your if statement
try this :
   <asp:Panel CssClass="search rnd" ID="SearchBox" runat="server" DefaultButton="btnSearch">
    <asp:TextBox ID="txtSearch" runat="server" ValidationGroup="searchForm" MaxLength="100" CssClass="text" Text="Search"

    <asp:Button ID="btnSearch" runat="server" ValidationGroup="searchForm" CssClass="btn-search" ToolTip="Search the Website"
    OnClick="btnSearch_Click" OnClientClick=" validateTextbox()" />
