Twisted Attractions Terror Park
Twisted Attractions seem to have continually gone from strength to strength, each year expanding and offering a new product. An independent production company going from a small maze to a scream park in three years is outstanding growth. Would Twisted Terror Farm live up to the standard Twisted have become known for? We went along to the press night to find out!
On arrival it is a walk down a muddy path to the entrance of the scream park – to be expected on a farm, but the mud might cause some issues by Halloween! After entering, it's straight to the main plaza with a fire pit, fun fair, bar and food stalls. This was a really nice area with a good atmosphere, roaming actors and reasonably priced food. Live music in the bar was a great touch, although we didn't get to see them performing, it should have a good atmosphere.
The first maze of the night was Miss Pigott's Pie Factory, after an actor explaining they were having some issues and a brief queue we were inside. The theming inside was great, very similar to the style and quality of The Dungeons. The actress playing Miss Piggott was one of the strongest actors we met, she didn't miss a beat, interacted with guests, had the whole group in stitches while still being suitable creepy. This continued with her "son" in the next scene, however then we left the maze to walk outside before entering the next section. This became a pattern throughout the night and was disappointing – so much effort had been put in the first section building an atmosphere and as soon as you stepped outside, it was completely lost.The second section was very disorientating, due to the huge amount of smoke! However it didn't rebuild the atmosphere of the first section us walking out the exit.
Our second maze was House of Insomnia. This had a fantastic log cabin façade, complete with animal pelts and bull horns! Having a health and safety briefing from a member of the Twisted Team rather than an actor took away from the experience slightly. The theming in the first section was great and the sets were very well thought out, allowing actors to use misdirection scares and trap guests in a room as the exit wasn't very clear. The surprise in the middle of the maze was genius – we'd never seen a feature like that in a maze before, it surprised everyone and was great fun.
House of Insomnia seemed a very long maze, it must have been between 10 and 15 minutes. We reached an area that seemed like the finale, and were instructed to wait which really built the tension and put us on edge. This was when actors ran into the room and starting putting bags over everyone's heads – this was totally unexpected and took us by surprise. We were then told to put one hand on a rope, one on a shoulder and start walking. This section went on for too long with little happening, after a while of walking aimlessly round a field, we began to notice that the bags didn't smell very pleasant! We were told to take our bags off and run, though there wasn't really anything to run from! This area seemed a little sparse, we walked through the woods, then we heard the actor sadly struggling to start his chainsaw. It does happen time from time, chainsaws can be a little temperamental, especially when they're being revved a lot. He did manage to get it running, however two chainsaw endings seemed a little repetitive.
Destruction: Zombie Hayride was by far the weakest attraction of the night. The pyro by the entrance was great, but could have been better used inside the attraction. The actor at the start was good, he delivered the health and safety briefing in character and got everyone in the group laughing at the same time. The hayride itself seemed very sparse, it was hard to tell if the first section was meant to be part of the attraction as it consisted of driving past cars that were clearly still in use. Credit to the actors working the attraction, they were full of energy, jumping on and off the trailer
Having a few post apocalyptic scenes for the trailer to drive past, such as survivors fighting zombies, or a horde attacking prey would have been more effective than long, sparse periods between actors. It didn't feel that Destruction really added anything to the Farm, it almost felt like a last minute addition.
Priory Fields promised a lot and didn't quite live up to it. It was a huge space and the actors were dotted through, leaving lots of periods of walking through the corn just waiting for something to happen. The actors inside the maze weren't hugely enthusiastic and left us feeling slightly underwhelmed. Hearing another chainsaw at the exit left one reviewer frustrated, as using a chainsaw at the ending of three out of four attractions, this ending had become repetitive and any novelty had worn off.
One small thing that would really help would be a few signposts directing to the different attractions, as they were dotted around the site. We visited a few days before the Farm officially opened to the public, so hopefully these will be added in the next few days.
All of the staff we encountered were courteous and friendly. It was difficult conditions for the roaming actors (muddy,cold and rainy) but they were relentless and full of energy for the whole night. Unfortunately Dr. Hade's Fear Theatre was unavailable on the preview night, hopefully it should be up and running in time for opening night on the 21st.
Sadly the mazes at the Fear Farm, although they are a solid product, don't quite match the quality and standard of scare maze that Twisted have become known for. It feels almost like Twisted have taken on too much slightly too soon, they make some fantastic mazes and it seems that moving them to Lower Drayton Farm has watered them down slightly.

History of IWC Jubilee Collection
It all sprang when an American engineer and watchmaker, Florentine Ariosto Jones, started working with the E. Howard Watch and Clock Co. in Boston, but he planned to try his luck in the Swiss market with the help of his American spirit, entrepreneurship, and modern engineering technology. Founded the International Watch Company (IWC) in 1868 in Schaffhausen, Jones created pocket watches of the highest possible quality with the help of proficient Swiss watchmakers and the latest technology of that time.
Later, an industrialist family from Schaffhausen, the Rauschenbach's, took over the company following Jones' return to his homeland, the United States. It designed incredible pocket timepieces with a digital display of Pallweber, and it also introduced Swiss watches for men and women.
After providing 150 years of service excellence to the world, IWC originated updated historic designs with a new style at SIHH in 2018 and named them as Jubilee Collection, which unites through an evergreen design code to create a rare striking collection of timepieces, and it consists of five classy families, including IWC Tribute to Pallweber, Portugieser, Portofino, Pilot, and Da Vinci.

Police discover IPOB/ESN alleged biggest bomb factory
Arewa Republik
The Ebonyi State Police Command says it has uncovered the biggest bomb factory in the South-East belonging to the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and Eastern Security Network, ESN.
The Command said the IPOB/ESN bomb factory was located at Obegu, a boundary area between Onicha-Isu and Ishielu Local government areas of Ebonyi State.
Chris Anyanwu, the spokesman of Command, said the bomb factory was discovered after a gun-duel with ESN operatives.
Anyanwu said the bomb factory is capable of causing mass killings and damages.
He disclosed that two members of ESN and a State Commander died during the gun-battle which ensued when policemen on investigation were attacked along Agba-Isu road on Wednesday.
He disclosed that some of the policemen sustained injuries during the operation.
He noted that following the gun duel, a joint team of the Command's Tactical Teams, the Military and DSS, armed with credible information, swooped on the houses/residences of the Commander and others.
The Command spokesman said searches carried out on the residences led to the discoveries of Improvised Explosive Devices and parts used in making IEDs.
A statement by Anyanwu reads partly: "A quick trail and joint effort with a team of detectives attached to Ohaukwu Division led to the arrest of Sunday Ubah, a.k.a Bongo, the State Commander of the IPOB/ESN in Ebonyi State.
"The Police bomb expert in the Command described it as a complete Bomb Factory – the biggest in the South-East and that each of the hand grenades (first of its kind) is capable of causing colossal damage to buildings and mass killing of humans."
Meanwhile, the IPOB has repeatedly denied being involved in any form of violence or arms deal.

Sedgwick, Kan. – December 16, 2013 – Wilbur-Ellis Company announced today that it has reached an agreement-in-principle to purchase Accu-Rate Services, Inc., a full service agriculture retail facility located in Sedgwick, Kan. The location, which opened in 1980, services growers in south central Kansas.
"Accu-Rate Services and its staff have a great reputation and passion for servicing their growers; these are qualities that we look for when acquiring businesses," said Roger Fitzke, business development manager for Wilbur-Ellis. "We're pleased to move forward with the process of acquiring the company from Curt Grattan and expanding in this area of Kansas."
"I believe that Wilbur-Ellis, a family-owned company, is best qualified to take over the business in order for us to continue to provide the best possible expertise and services to our growers," said Curt Grattan. "After 34 years in this business, I too look forward to working alongside Wilbur-Ellis to move this process along."
To expand its service offering, Wilbur-Ellis plans on purchasing roughly six acres of land in the new industrial park near Accu-Rate Services' existing site.
Fitzke and Grattan will be in attendance at a city meeting at 7:30 p.m. tonight for approval of the land purchase.
Wilbur-Ellis' Agribusiness Division, a recognized leader in crop production technology and the distribution and marketing of plant protection, seed and nutritional products, generates more than $2 billion in sales revenue.
The closing of the transaction is subject to definitive documentation, satisfactory completion of diligence review, and other customary closing conditions.

Q: Display recently changed items I need to show a list of recently updated documents on our Sharepoint online intranet site. I've tried 2 things, neither of which are working (it appears for the same reason).

*

*Adding the webpart 'Recently Changed Items'

*Adding the webpart 'Search Results' and selecting 'Recently Changed Items (System)'.

In both cases, the Search Results Preview displays the relevant items, however, when I click OK nothing is shown on the web parts.

Any Ideas?
UPDATE
I have been developing using Chrome browser. In IE the search results do show up. Anyone know a fix for chrome?

A: Use Search Results WebPart Then Configure it as below

*

*Select a query Local SharePoint Results (System)

*Keyword filter Only return items

*Query Text Path:"https://yourSP.sharepoint.com" + your Keyword in this case will be         (contentclass:STS_ListItem OR IsDocument:True)

You may expect I'm going to write some snarky comment here about how I hate advertising. Not at all. This is not to say that I don't hate SOME advertising. Probably about as much as anyone else–but then again, maybe not, since my degree is in Advertising Design. Not my point.
My point is that I've been listening to music on Spotify lately. Which is pretty nice except for the advertising. For the past several weeks I've been listening to a commercial break for Advance Auto Parts telling how they'll "INSTALL YOUR BATTERY–FOR FREE!" (The announcer actually practically screams that "FOR FREE!" part. So annoying, yes?
But then a week or so ago my car was acting up. It was starting kind of slow. The kind of slow start up that would not be unusual if it were mid-winter and below zero. That thing that tells you that your battery might be a little too cold to crank. The problem? It's June in North Carolina! 80 degrees, plus. Not the sort of weather that normally affects a battery, right?
Well, I've been busy, but every time that ad ran on Spotify I'd think, "Maybe I should have my battery checked." But didn't do it.
Then I went to Heroes Convention in Charlotte and along the way I kept smelling something like an egg salad going bad. Well, sometimes Charlotte can have funky smells, so I paid it no mind.
On the way home, though I stopped off at a gas station to fill up the tank, and thought to check the oil. I opened the hood and realized that there was something amiss. A big wet spot above and behind the battery and the smell of acid! On closer examination I realized the battery was not well–a pool of acid on the platform where the battery rests, and an odd misshapen look to the battery case itself.
This was around 5 pm on Monday afternoon and my wife was going to take the car to Ohio the next day.
"Guess I'm going to Advance Auto Parts," went through my head.
That's how advertising works. I knew just where the Advance Auto Parts place is in my home town, so if I didn't see one on the way home I'd just pull in there. Which is what I ended up doing.
The guy was able to set me up with a battery and install it in about a half an hour. Sure, I could have taken the car to the mechanic. I'd have preferred to do that, but there's no way it would have gotten done in time to get my wife on the road the next morning.
So, here's the lesson. Have a product people need, sell it for a reasonable price. Offer to help installing said product. Even if your advertising is obnoxious you're likely to sell product.
Now, as for the guy who keeps telling me to get help for gambling addiction–not an issue with me. Funny how the next commercial is for Vegas, though.
But I survived and actually did pretty well. I've had more lucrative years at Heroes, but then again, I've had less lucrative. I did eleven convention sketches this weekend–and boy are my arms tired! Actually I did more than that. I did eleven PAID sketches. I did a lot of freebies for friends and quickies for cute kids with sketchbooks.
And I sold some merchandise too. So that was good.
Got to see old friends–in between sketches that is. And I could go into great detail about all the events, but it would take much too long to tell it all. So I'm going to hit the high points.
Ran into Greg Cravens, who draws The Buckets in the newspaper as well as Hubris the webcomic–as I was coming in the convention center. Greg and I are old buddies. Met him back in 2003 at my first Southeast Chapter of the NCS meeting in Asheville and we took to one another like hogs to slop (as I am writing this, I am imagining just how Greg would say that in his Memphis accent). So he helped me with some items I needed to carry into the Convention Center and I let him borrow my moving dolly. He was there pushing Hubris to the crowd, set up with fellow Memphian, Charles Ettinger. The three of us ended the day by going out to Five Guys for dinner and swapping stories about our days in various screen-print factories back in the 80s and 90s. Seems it's universal in screen printing to have slightly insane bosses to work for! Charles and I also share a passion for the Silver Age Green Lantern.
I did several sketches on Friday and finished the day with one sketch cover pending. So I took it back with me to finish after the show (I was staying with my best-buddy, Joel, and his family outside of town). But I was in such a rush getting out of the convention center that I forgot my color markers and pencils. So I finished up the black and white artwork (Harley Quinn and Joker) on the kitchen table at the Merritt's house, and planned to go back to the convention early on Saturday morning.
Did I ever go to the convention center early the next day. At 5 am I was up. God woke me. He said, "You need to pray before you go in today." And so after a bit of reluctance I got up and prayed for a while, then I was too awake to go back to bed. So I went into town, cruised the block to find good parking and went into the Convention Center around 7:40 am. Walked into Hall A around 7:45 am. Nobody questioned me. So I sat down and got to work coloring the piece of artwork I'd drawn the night before–I was just finishing up when security came and asked me (nicely) to go upstairs until 9 am. So I did.
For the record, I hadn't really thought about what a problem this might have been. IF I'd been someone up to mischief, or someone bent on stealing something valuable it would have been a different scene. Security did work. I just wasn't doing anything wrong–other than being there at that time. So I left. Went upstairs and saw Greg and Charles having breakfast at BoJangles. So had a few laughs with them. Then went downstairs and got back to work.
Unfortunately when you draw over 11 sketches in a weekend it's hard to keep up with them all. I did not get pictures of more than a few of them. Sorry. Oh well. But I did draw, Chewbacca, Boba Fett, Harley Quinn, Joker, Silver Age Batman, Baron Karza, Prince Valiant, G-Men from Hell, Batgirl, Chickadee (from my own Wolfman comic!), Scarlet Witch, and Severus Snapes (my first Harry Potter sketch ever)–as well as a bunch of others (as mentioned above).
Saturday night I decided to put on my tux for the annual Heroes Auction. I have not officially yet won my place in the Smoking Jacket Society as that was put into place the year after my Wonder Woman art went for $1200. But I am determined to win my jacket! This year I did okay. My Batgirl artwork went for $250 to a very pleased gentleman–who's name I did not get. I was also pleased to see my friend Kaysha Siemens' drawing of Death and Sandman went for $325 at the auction. She should really be a regular at Heroes.
One announcement was made during the evening that stuck with me. The rough Saturday gate statistics said that the number of attendees this year were approximately three times as many as last. As last year's totals were around 60,000 one can extrapolate that Heroes Con 2014 must have brought in at least 100,000 fans. So where were the publishers? There were a few, admittedly. But not like there should have been. I do not blame Heroes Convention one bit. I blame the publishers for not giving Heroes Con enough credit. From what I understand San Diego Comic-Con (which gets all the publicity of TV shows and movie stars showing up there) brings in around 120,000 to maybe 150,000 fans during five days. That Heroes Convention can bring in 100,000 in three days should clue in publishers they're missing out on a grand opportunity. They could be promoting their publications to the huge fan base that is assembled in Charlotte, while also scouting the 300+ professional artists who show up at Heroes.
Why do these pros come to Heroes Con? Not because they "have to" (which I hear about San Diego and NYC a lot–like it's a chore)–no, at Heroes it's because they WANT to be there. "It's like Christmas for comic fans!" We all get together and have a great time, visit with our extended family and enjoy what we do.
So, comics publishers, get a clue. SCOUT HEROES CON!
There were a lot of other funny moments as well. As I mentioned I was staying with my best buddy, Joel, and his family during the show. I usually do. But this year, their niece, Elizabeth, (whom they raised from age 4) came back to Charlotte from ECU just for the show. Well, she and Joel kept walking up to my table, stopping about 10 feet away and exclaiming, "Oh! It's James LYLE!" in delighted tones. They've actually been doing this for years, now that I think about it. Fun-ny! But what really got me is that there were actually a few fans I'd never met that came up and did that same sort of thing for real. And they meant me–not Tom Lyle. I got quite a few of the Tom Lyle mistaken identity moments as well–but a few honest to goodness people impressed by my work. That meant a lot.
Also, I finally got Joel behind the table where he belongs. Joel and I have known each other since High School, and he is one of the best artists I have ever known and had the pleasure to work with for over 30 years! Finally got him to join the SECNCS (Southeast Chapter of the National Cartoonists Society) last year. Even though he keeps saying, "Well, I only design tee-shirts," and stuff like that. Anyway, as an SECNCS chapter member he volunteered to help populate the SECNCS table on Saturday. This table was right next to mine–sort of a time-share for those in our chapter who aren't yet ready to man a table on their own. So that table was populated all weekend by a rotating staff of Shane Harris, Kaysha Siemens, Joel Merritt, Derek and Nikki Davis, Clay Elliott, Christine Ramsey, Jack Hoyle, Jer Alford, Jerrard Polk, and Tom Davidson. They handed out FAQ sheets to all who expressed any interest in being professional cartoonists, illustrators, etc.
While Joel was manning the table, Elizabeth came over and sat with me. She said "I'll assist you! I'll hold your pens and pencils–what else can I do?" I told her, "Just sit there and you'll be doing me a favor." If you don't get that joke, just keep in mind that there are a lot of 20-something boys at comic conventions and so any pretty young girl sitting behind your table will likely bring in some business. Elizabeth got it right away. So I said, "Remember to smile…but not too nice!" She replied, "Hey I'm not giving it away!" Funny girl. It's weird to be her sort-of uncle. Of course it's strange to be anyone's uncle–so what am I complaining about?
The other weird thing is that last year in San Diego I met a young artist names J.P. Vilchis from Mexico City. He and I were there looking for work ("In the trenches" is the slang for it) at the portfolio review area. He wanted to have feedback from more artists and so I told him that he should come to Heroes Convention, because there are at least twice as many pro artists there as in San Diego (which appears to be dead on correct). J.P. took me up on it! I never thought that my advice would cause someone to fly to another country! J.P. showed up at Heroes and in spite of the fact that he is painfully shy and reserved he showed his samples all over the place and got feedback from dozens of artists. Good for him. Well, we got down to the last few hours of the show and I was planning to go have a proper meal with the Merritts back at their house–when J.P. asked if he could have a chance to talk about his work somewhere a little less noisy. I have to confess I didn't quite know what to do. So I got him involved in a conversation with Dusty Harbin, told him to meet me back at my table in a while and quickly called Toni Merritt on the phone to see if dinner could go around for five! Turns out she was cooking a casserole (thank the Lord!) and would be happy to play hostess to our friend from Mexico. So J.P. came for dinner! Got to know him a little better and he's got an open invitation to return to Charlotte whenever he'd like.
Okay, my eyes are shot. Eyestrain. I need to go rest my eyes. Hope this gives you readers an insight into the wacky world of being a cartoonist at a comic show.

INDY AXE
Nicola Sturgeon spelled out her new plan for IndyRef2 including claims a vote before 2021 was "likely"
Any vote still depends on UK Government permission and Tories are trying to stall until 2021 Holyrood elections
By Chris Musson
Updated: 28 Jun 2017, 1:08
NICOLA Sturgeon refused to ditch IndyRef2 yesterday but axed plans for a vote by spring 2019.
The First Minister vowed to unveil a timetable for the ballot in autumn 2018 after Brexit talks.
Nicola Sturgeon axed plans for vote by spring 2019
Following major SNP losses at Westminster, she told Holyrood: "We remain committed, strongly, to the principle of giving Scotland a choice at the end of this process."
And after spelling out her plan in parliament, she said on TV that a vote was "likely" before 2021.
The Nats leader added: "I have a mandate for giving people this choice which lasts for this term of parliament."
Rivals hit back with Scottish Tory boss Ruth Davidson accusing Ms Sturgeon of trying to "ride two horses" and adding: "Gie's peace."
And senior SNP sources last night said her vow leaves open the possibility of a vote months after the UK leaves the EU in March 2019.
Announcing the move amid heckles and jeers from rival MSPs, Ms Sturgeon insisted her "mandate" for another poll was "beyond doubt".
She said she had "listened" to pro-indy and pro-union voters since Nats lost 21 MPs to parties promising to oppose a second referendum.
Ms Sturgeon added: "Some just want a break from the pressure of big political decisions.
"They agree that our future should not be imposed on us, but feel that it is too soon right now to make a firm decision about the precise timing of a referendum.
"They want greater clarity about Brexit to emerge first — and they want to be able to measure that up against clarity about the options Scotland would have for securing a different relationship with Europe."
After stating her commitment to giving Scotland a choice at the end of Brexit talks, she added: "But to reassure people that they will not be asked to make this choice now — or in the immediate future — but only at the end of the process when greater clarity has emerged, I am confirming today that the Scottish Government will reset the plan I set out on March 13."
She said she would "redouble our efforts and put our shoulder to the wheel" to "influence the Brexit talks in a way that protects Scotland's interests".
She added: "We will seek to build maximum support to keep us in the single market, with substantial new powers for this parliament, and do everything we can to influence the UK in that direction.
"And at the end of this negotiation with the EU — likely to be around next autumn — when the terms of Brexit will be clearer, we will come back to Parliament to set out our judgement on the way forward, including our view on the precise timescale of offering people a choice over the country's future."
Any vote still depends on UK Government permission and Tories are trying to stall until the 2021 Holyrood elections, when they hope to wipeout the SNP and Greens' pro-indy majority.
Ms Sturgeon sparked laughter from rivals by saying her "responsibility as First Minister is to build as much unity and consensus as possible".
After addressing IndyRef2, she vowed to concentrate on "growing our economy and making sure that the public services we all rely on are there when we need them, from cradle to grave".
She added: "That means improving education, equipping our NHS for the challenges of the future, lifting people out of poverty and building a social security system with dignity at its heart."
And hinting at a Cabinet reshuffle, Ms Sturgeon said: "Any government, after ten years, needs to take stock and refresh."
Later, she was asked in a BBC interview if IndyRef2 was still likely before 2021. She replied: "It is likely, yes."
But she added: "I'm not going to make a judgment about the timing right now because that would be to turn on its head what I've just said, which is that I will not make that judgment until I've got greater clarity."
Ms Davidson called on Ms Sturgeon to "give the country some certainty" by ruling out a vote for the rest of this parliament.
She said: "Today's statement fails to give people any assurance that the First Minister has been listening."
Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale said: "The First Minister is digging her heels in, putting her fingers in her ears and pressing on regardless. She is just not listening."
And Scotland in Union campaign chief Graeme Pearson added: "This was an opportunity for the First Minister to put the interests of the Scottish people ahead of her party's."

Q: Assembly partial registers I've read an explanation about partial registers
And wanted to understand why this code:
XOR EAX,EAX
MOV AX, BX

will work only if eax holds a non signed positive number
But if there is a signed negative number in eax
You need to make sure the new bits youve added are 111.., i understand it has something to do with two's complement
But I still don't understand it.
Edit:
I understand the code above will work either way
I wanted to understand why would you need to pad those extra 1's (when I don't zero eax)

A: More often than not, you work with unsigned numbers while hand-writing assembly. Of course, this is not always the case, and C's int promotions should be implemented somehow, right?
Let's start by explaining two's complement at the bit level. First of all, the topmost bit, when set, indicates a negative number, and when clear, a non-negative nne. If it's clear, the stuff acts as you would expect. That is, 0 is written 0x00000000, and 2147483647 is written 0x7FFFFFFF. However, for any negative number N, in order to get its absolute value, you have to do ~N-1, with all respective wrap-arounds. This lends into -1 being written 0xFF, and -2147483648 being written 0x80. This has some nice side effects, such that -0 == 0 and addition/subtraction is the same operation for all numbers.
Now, to your code....
XOR EAX,EAX

As a mathematical rule, exclusive-OR'ing something against itself will always yield zero as a result. So, you can think of this like an optimized `MOV EAX, 0'. BTW, you may want to read why XOR is better for this. Then...
MOV AX, BX

MOV is an instruction that literally means "to copy the bits as-is". That is, all cleared bits in the source are respectively cleared in the destination, and all set bits in the source are respectively set in the destination. In this case, AX will now contain an exact copy of BX's contents. In the x86 architecture, EAX, EBX, ECX, and EDX are all divided this way...
 ________________ ________ ____ ____
|      ERX       |   RX   | RH | RL |
|________________|________|____|____|
 \_________________________________/
          |       \________________/
      32 bits              |    \__/
                       16 bits   ||
                               8 bits

This means that for each register R, ERX represents all of its 32 bits, RX represents its lower 16 bits, RH represents the higher byte of its lower 16 bits, and RL represents the lower byte of its lower 16 bits. Thus, returning to your code, and assuming BX contains 0xFFFF (-1 in two's complement), this is what happens...
 ______________ __________________________________ __________________________________
| Instruction  | EAX                              | EBX                              |
|______________|__________________________________|__________________________________|
| XOR EAX, EAX | 00000000000000000000000000000000 | 00000000000000001111111111111111 |
|______________|__________________________________|__________________________________|
| MOV AX, BX   | 00000000000000001111111111111111 | 00000000000000001111111111111111 |
|______________|__________________________________|__________________________________|

Then, if we interpret AX as a two's complement number, we get the right answer, that is, -1. However, if we interpret EAX as a two's complement number, we get a wrong answer, 65535. In order to do this correctly, we have to do a sign-extended move. This means that the instruction will take into account the fact that the value is in two's complement form and will thus manipulate it correctly. See, for instance...
 _______________ __________________________________ __________________________________
| Instruction   | EAX                              | EBX                              |
|_______________|__________________________________|__________________________________|
| MOVSX EAX, BX | 11111111111111111111111111111111 | 00000000000000001111111111111111 |
|_______________|__________________________________|__________________________________|

Now, interpreting EAX as a 32-bit two's complement number will yield the right answer, -1. This is (yet) another advantage of two's complement. You can sign-extend by just copying the top-most bit as many times as needed.

Upright, often multiple, semi-woody stems sprout from a tuber-like root. The stems are lined with large, opposite, lance-shaped leaves and topped with multiple clusters of small flowers. The tiny flowers are pink to light purple colored with a complex arrangement of five reflexed petals and are followed by a ribbed seed pod full of wispy cotton-like fibers attached to seeds that are wind-dispersed. Plant is toxic if ingested raw. This species does well in wet margins of ponds and streams. Orange oleander aphids are inevitably attracted to this plant, but pose little threat unless the population swells to very large numbers. This has the beneficial effect of attracting ladybugs, which feed on these aphids as well as green aphids, which feed on many food crops.
Fruit: 4-5" long green seed pods that resemble okra. Pods turn brown and then split as they ripen.

What it is like being an intern at the Norwegian Helsinki Committee
Aselya Sagynbaeva and Kamilla Karlsholmen Hauge has both been interns at the Norwegian Helsinki Committee. Photo: The norwegian Helsinki Committee/privat
As an intern at the NHC you would work with human rights and communications and influence one of Norways most exciting human rights organizations.
The Norwegian Helsinki Committee accepts students as interns, both from Norwegian universities and through international partnerships. NHC internships are an opportunity for young individuals to get great insight into the working life and an important experience for the future.
– I was given the opportunity to work with communication in practice. It has been very educational, and it is completely different to what we read in books, says Kamilla Karlsholmen Hauge.
She was an intern at the NHC while she was writing her Bachelor's in Media Science at the University of Oslo. The internship has gotten her a summer job and part time job at NHC later on.
I was given the opportunity to work with communication in practice. It has been very educational, and it is completely different to what we read in books.
Kamilla Karlsholmen Hauge
– It has been very helpful to have relevant experience on my CV, and I think that it also can help me in getting a relevent job after my studies, she says.
Contributing to human rights
With employees that represent 11 different nationalities and projects all over the world, Karslholmenn Hauge has been a part of an international environment for human rights.
– It is very giving to work for human rights, and I have learnt so much about fundamental human rights, society, politics and international relations. I have gotten more enlightened, Hauge continues.
Kamilla Karlsholmen Hauge was an intern at the NHC spring 2018 as part of a practical subject at the University in Oslo.
She points out that the importance of the work NHC does was essential to why she chose to intern at the NHC.
– It is not that type of internship where the work primarily consists of making coffee, like you often get warned about, says Karlsholen Hauge and continues:
– I experienced getting a lot of trust and responsibility at NHC, which I think is necessary for you to do a good job. You get to try out a lot of different assignments, which is more difficult in bigger organizations. It is also very rewarding to see your work bringing results, concludes Hauge.
While she was an intern, she wrote online articles, attended meetings at the Parliament and was part of creating a campaign against the World Cup in Russia.
NHC has also had interns from OsloMet, who offers practical subjects for students who study media and communication.
Intern through the OSCE Academy
NHC also has a tradition for taking in international interns. Each year the NHC accepts an intern from the OSCE Academy which is based in Bishkek in Kyrgyzstan. One of these is Aselya Sagynbaeva from Kyrgyzstan.
– I wanted to study human rights issues in Central Asia from a different perspective, as well as wanting to enhance my knowledge of gender equality from a Western perspective, says Aselya Sagynbaeva, about why she chose to be an intern at NHC.
Aselya Sagynbaeva has been an intern at the NHC through the OSCE academy fall 2018.
She has been NHC's intern from the OSCE Academy during the fall of 2018. She is doing a Master´s degree in Economics and writes about gender issues regarding entrepreneurship in her home country. In Kyrgyzstan, she has also worked with two EU projects against torture and abuse.
– I did not notice how fast the time went by as an intern at the NHC, and what I loved the most was the people working there. They are brilliant professionals in their fields, and are willing to answer all questions and create a warm and comfortable condition for working, concludes Sagynbaeva, who was an intern at the Norwegian Helsinki Committee for two months.
I wanted to study human rights issues in Central Asia from a different perspective, as well as wanting to enhance my knowledge of gender equality from a Western perspective
Aselya Sagynbaeva
The OSCE academy is an international academy meant for students from Central Asia with a number of lecturers from around the world. The methodology is based on critical thinking. The academy is cooperating with different countries, and receives visitors from many international delegations. It is not financed directly by the OSCE, but through a number of OSCE member states, one of them being Norway.
The internship is offered by the NHC in collaboration with NUPI (Norwegian Foreign Policy Institute). NHC chooses the applicants they believe will gain the most from the internship, and who also have interests that overlap with the priorities and activities of NHC.

Rubus ulmifolius, llamado zarzamora, entre otros numerosos nombres comunes, es una especie de arbusto de aspecto sarmentoso de la familia de las rosáceas y es popularmente conocido por sus frutos comestibles, llamados moras.

Descripción

Tiene hojas imparipinnadas, la mayoría compuestas por cinco folíolos peciolulados y puntiagudos, a veces solo tres, bastante variables, de forma elíptica ovada u obovada, con borde dentado o aserrado, de color verde oscuro por el haz y blanco-tomentoso por el envés.

Las flores, pentámeras, tienen pétalos ovalados casi siempre rosados, a veces blancos, de unos 10-15 mm y los sépalos son grises o tomentoso-blanquecinos. Nacen en racimos, dando lugar a inflorescencias de forma oblonga o piramidal.

Su fruto, la zarzamora o mora, es comestible y está formado por muchas pequeñas drupas arracimadas y unidas entre sí (polidrupa), de color rojo tornándose al negro purpúreo al madurar. Su sabor es agradable aunque algo agrio.

Hábitat y distribución
Es una planta muy invasiva y de crecimiento rápido que también puede multiplicarse vegetativamente generando raíces desde sus ramas. Puede colonizar extensas zonas de bosque, monte bajo, laderas o formar grandes setos en un tiempo relativamente corto.

Es frecuente en setos y ribazos y su distribución original abarca casi toda Europa, el norte de África y el sur de Asia. También ha sido introducida en América y Oceanía, con efectos muy negativos como maleza; por ejemplo, en  Chile y Uruguay es considerada una especie invasora. Sin embargo,

Usos
La zarzamora es una fruta del bosque dulce muy popular en pastelería para la preparación de postres, mermeladas y jaleas y, a veces, vinos y licores.
Las hojas disecadas, utilizadas como infusiones, tienen propiedades astringentes, antisepticas urinarias y bucales y también diuréticas. La mora negra o zarzamora contiene sales minerales y vitaminas A, B y C. Por su alto contenido de hierro es utilizada para prevenir y combatir la anemia. Entre otras facultades, estudios recientes comprobaron que el elevado contenido de flavonoides (taninos que también poseen los vinos tintos) contribuye a prevenir el cáncer y disminuir el colesterol.

Las cortezas de los tallos se utilizan como material de cestería y para hacer cuerdas. Es por ejemplo material tradicional para coser las colmenas de paja o skep hives de tradición anglosajona que aún se utilizan hoy en día.

Otro uso, poco conocido, es como sustituto del tabaco.

Verizon to launch 5G wireless broadband service
We all have heard about LTE and/or 4G networks being part of our mobile devices. However, as more and more people acquire mobile phones and use the internet on them every day, the demand for a faster and reliable network also increases. Verizon announced it will be launching 5G wireless broadband, which stands for "fifth-generation."
5G's data packet transfer protocol is far more efficient and advanced than the current 4G. As a result, wireless connectivity speeds will increase anywhere between 10 to 100 times 'faster' than existing LTE (4G) networks. Verizon is the first in the world to launch 5G fixed wireless at home commercially, starting in Houston, Texas.

Every year, around mid-February, the wine producers of Tuscany put aside their political squabbling and competitive argy-bargy for a short time and treat the world's wine press to a series of surprisingly well planned and co-ordinated tastings of the various creations of the heartland of Italian fine wine. Starting with plain Chianti, the bandwagon rolls on to Chianti Classico (here called as the 'Chianti Classico Collection'), then San Gimignano, then Montepulciano, finishing at Montalcino with the presentation of the latest Brunello year, under the title 'Benvenuto Brunello' (Welcome Brunello). Given the variety of wines such a division entails, in 2018 this meant Brunello 2013, Brunello Riserva 2012 and Rosso di Montalcino 2016. It will be quickly appreciated that this is quite different from the French 'En Primeur' method of showing the latest vintage. Here we're talking the latest release as dictated by the DOC laws for each particular wine.
Brunello producers in 2018 number 258, of which 208 are bottlers, and 135 demonstrated at Benvenuto Brunello. Average annual production (of Brunello) is around 9 million bottles, and of Rosso about half that figure. Some 70% of total production is exported for a total value of 160 million Euros. The tasting takes place in historic nooks and crannies of the small but elegantissimo hilltop town. The world's press is given first access, followed by trade and investors. British journalists and buyers are few and far between, indicating that Brunello, while respected, has not yet 'caught on' in Britain. The good news, emerging from this, is that Brunello retains a certain 'exclusive' image, while the price, measured against that of top Bordeaux and Burgundy, remains accessible.
As for 2016 Rosso, no one is sitting on the fence. An excellent, if not great vintage, with quite a number of wines good enough to qualify as Brunellos. This is one to acquire before it all disappears into the American and Far East markets.
And the 2012 Brunello Riservas? Chunky and solid, rewarding patience, good for laying down. 2013 is better for drinking now.

School of Arts & Humanities
ARHU Centers
Internships & Experiential Learning
Language Placement Test
Visual Arts Internships
Communication Studies Internships
Historical Studies Internships
Literature Program Internships
Room: K-150
The School of Arts and Humanities offers a wide range of Internship and Experiential learning opportunities that are designed to build on and expand student-learning experiences outside of the classroom setting.
Faculty in all ARHU Programs of study support enhanced learning opportunities through internships—both on-campus and at offsite locations. Internships provide a platform where students can expand intellectually and become socially responsible and engaged citizens.
Eligibility and Requirements:
Information regarding eligibility and internship requirements can be found under each individual Program of Study.
How is the credit applied to the student's major?
Course credit is earned and is applied to the student's transcript after successful completion of the registered internship.
How are Internships administered?
The Stockton University Internship Form will not be approved until the Affiliation Agreement has been successfully executed. This process usually takes approximately 3-4 weeks; students must plan to meet with their faculty sponsor to initiate the required paperwork well in advance of the internship start date.
The School of Arts and Humanities follows the protocol as outlined on the Stockton University Internship form and instructions that can be accessed at the following link under "Miscellaneous": https://stockton.edu/about-stockton/e-forms.html.
The Arts and Humanities School Office located in room K150 provides oversight and processing of all University Affiliation Agreements and Internship forms for internships sponsored by ARHU faculty. On-campus internships do not require an Affiliation Agreement.
Policies in place: A Stockton University Affiliation Agreement form is executed for all off-campus internships. The Affiliation Agreement originates in the Arts and Humanities School Office and is processed and approved by Stockton's Office of General Counsel. Upon receipt of the signed Agreement by the Internship Site, the Assistant Dean approves both the Internship form and the signed Affiliation Agreement. Note: Frequently, depending on the internship site, modifications to the Affiliation Agreement are necessary in order to finalize the Agreement.
Service-Learning Opportunities:
Some internships are designated as service-learning courses and offer students the opportunity to earn service-learning credit, which is recorded on a student's transcript after successful completion of the internship.
The following internships are offered each term:
ARTV 4926 DESIGN FOR COMMUNITY PARTNERS
COMM 4901 COMMUNICATION STUDIES INTERNSHIP
COMM 4902 WLFR INTERNSHIP

Advocates ask Utah Legislature to help fund teen centers for homeless students
By Ashley Fredde, KSL.com | Posted - Nov. 16, 2022 at 9:48 p.m.
The Policy Project launched its current teen center project campaign — an effort to aid Utah high schoolers who lack basic necessities or who are at-risk — at the state Capitol Wednesday. The nonprofit asked the Legislature to participate in a public-private partnership to provide funding for the campaign. (Ashley Fredde, KSL.com)
SALT LAKE CITY — A local nonprofit is asking the Utah Legislature to help high schools across the state establish teen centers to support students struggling with basic needs.
There has been a 34% increase in students experiencing homelessness since 2020, according to state data. Nearly 15,500 students are classified as homeless and lack a fixed, regular and adequate nighttime residence.
Other students who may not face homelessness do face other barriers or have basic needs that aren't being unmet — with 1 in 3 students being considered economically disadvantaged and qualifying for free or reduced lunch.
"Utah is an incredible state and it's our job, all of us, to make it even better," Emily Bell McCormick, president of the Policy Project, said Wednesday during a rally at the state Capitol. "Not better for just us in this room, but better for those who can't be in this room. We're talking about some issues that keep people out of this room and more specifically keeping teens from going to class. Too many of our kids are facing poverty and mental health issues. We want to intercept these issues while our kids are in high school. We can hopefully prevent long-term homelessness and severe mental health struggles."
The Policy Project is proposing that the Utah Legislature contribute to a public-private partnership to fund teen centers at high schools across the state, in collaboration with private donors like the Larry H. and Gail Miller Family Foundation and the Hunstman Foundation.
We walked into an alley near the motel where we'd been staying. ... We sat by a smelly dumpster. My two little sisters started to say they were hungry and tired. So I dressed them in the two jackets that were in the bag that I packed our stuff in. They soon fell asleep and crawled up by my legs.
The new campaign was unveiled at the rally at the Capitol on Wednesday, with over 100 people in attendance signing letters to legislators urging approval.
To fully encapsulate the need for teen centers beyond statistics, McCormick shared stories of teens affected by poverty or homelessness.
"The worst thing about my situation is I don't like people knowing I don't have a place because there's a lot of stigma attached to it," one student said. "That's the worst. I'm a young man. There are girls in school I might want to talk to; how do I tell them that I'm staying in a shelter? I don't tell anyone."
"We walked into an alley near the motel where we'd been staying," another student said. "It was pitch black outside, so we sat by a smelly dumpster. My two little sisters started to say they were hungry and tired. So I dressed them in the two jackets that were in the bag that I packed our stuff in. They soon fell asleep and crawled up by my legs."
The centers can be created by "repurposing existing, underutilized space within the high schools and by dedicating space for these services within newly built high schools," according to a statement from the Policy Project.
The spaces are meant to be adaptable to their communities but can feature services such as:
A food pantry
Shower and toiletry kits
A family advocate worker
Connection to other community resources
Space for student regulation of mental health needs
While advocates recognize many of these services are available outside of schools, the nonprofit notes that often it is difficult for teens or children to navigate the resources and they require outside transportation to do so.
"These would benefit every student, regardless of income level, with a focus on those most at risk. And there are an increasing number of Utah K-12 students who are struggling to meet their basic needs due to circumstances beyond their control, a significant drop in affordable housing, rapid inflation, wage stagnation, as well as job insecurity and mental health challenges experienced by the adults who care for them. We all have felt these things," McCormick said.
The initiative is focused on a statewide approach, funding teen centers across counties. The nonprofit notes that the need expands beyond Salt Lake County with many of the counties with the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students being rural counties — Carbon (45%), Duchesne (41%), Emery (51%), Grand (43%), Millard (47%), Piaute (58%), San Juan (99.6%), Sanpete (47%), Sevier (45%) and Wayne (42%).
"This is going to be a big project. We want to help create access to that funding and ensure that every high school in Utah that can build a place like this has the resources to do it. We want to ensure that there's fairness and equity across the state from Duchesne to Cache to Jordan to Moab," said Mary Catherine Perry, director of policy for the Policy Project.
"We have an opportunity and a responsibility to build change, where we learn and we need you and we need the support of our state leaders and we can do this together with our schools and with each other."
The campaign has garnered support from Utah House Speaker Brad Wilson and Utah Senate Pres. Stuart Adams, who both spoke at the campaign's unveiling.
"One of the things I asked my colleagues to do every day is not just think about the decisions we make today, but what can we do today that's going to affect the future generation people that are going to be the leaders of tomorrow," Wilson said.
"We can fund projects and that's one of the things we're asked to do. So we want to fund the construction of these teen centers. But teen centers, they're not about walls, they're not about bricks, they're not about things, teen centers are about people," Adams added.

What would the average salary be for an IT Degree holder who is also PMP certified?

S$2500-3500/month, more with several years of applicable experience, less if you're Indian.
A PMP needs 2.5 years of relevant project management experience. Are you sure they can only make that little? That's a ridiculous salary for a PMP in my view.

If you think that is low then do not take the job.
Which is better having a ridiculous low paying job and food on the table compare to no job and biting your toes for lunch ?
S$2500 is the starting salary for a fresh graduate.
You can ask for more for your PMP cert, if you find an employer who values it.
In addition, if your experience (not mentioned in the first post) is applicable to the job, you could get more, too.
So with both together, you might go beyond the range I quoted, but not by a lot.
I am project manager with 12 years applicable experience in a sought-after niche skill - not PMP certified because I don"t like the system, but with more than enough references showing that I do know how to manage complex projects - and I gave up negotiations with a company last year because they wouldn't match my requested S$8000.

Depends where you are from, but typical median for an MNC for an expat is around $10K with 5+ years experience, Beppi, I'd suggest you should think about a move! Just my tuppence worth.
That's for sure, only coming from my own experience, in Germany you wouldn't get an employment pass if you underbid the local salaries which would have to be at least 2500-3000 Euros per month, which means a lot higher living standard than in Singapore counting the rental prices. I'm just trying to match the GDP per capita and count Singapore as a rich country, in that sense I think that salary would be really low.
Locals with 5 to 8 years of experience can certainly expect 8K per month... and if you are good, 10K or more. The best in an MNC will earn 20K per month or more.

Local salary surveys give a different picture: Average household income (incl. all experiences and double earners) is S$5400/month - and salaries over S$10k are very rare.
In addition, EUR7-8k in Germany (which is what I could expect there) will give you the same after-tax income as S$8k here.
Then it boils down to a lifestyle choice which one you prefer.
Local Salary median incomes include ALL types of earners, not just IT or Financial. There are tons who are on the low end of the spectrum as well. I'm inclined to agree that 5~8 isn't unheard of by a long shot for locals with that experience.
I have read the salary surveys, and I know what people are paid in MNC's. If you are average you get paid average, and believe me, most people are average... the world of the 80 percenters. Good technical IT PM's can earn 8K per month with five years experience because good people are hard to find. Senior people who are really good can earn double that although the number of spots open are less.
I struggle against the unrealistic expectations of HR departments who want to know why I can't hire a 'star' on an 'extras' budget.
