"Turnkey." It's a term that's used in many industries, but what does it really mean when it comes to your generator and UPS system? In this industry, a "turnkey" solution simply provides a start to finish approach with equipment and installation solutions.
However, what is included in your solution can vary based on your turnkey service provider. For QPS customers, a turnkey project allows the customer to focus on their core business while QPS manages the rest. Everything from designing a complex solution to arranging permits and schedules to complete installation of a new generator or UPS system, our expertise ensures a smooth transition.
So why consider a Generator or UPS turnkey solution when it comes to your critical power network? To begin with, it can simply be the most efficient option for you. With our experienced Certified Power Quality professionals, we have the ability to analyze your needs and develop a power solution that best fits your power requirements- and more importantly- your budget. With total project management, your turnkey solution can be seamlessly integrated into your existing infrastructure with minimal disruption to your business.
The opposite course of action would be to manage a UPS or other critical power project in-house and design, install and manage all aspects. While some companies have the staff and expertise to pull this off, it is not the optimum solution for many businesses. At first glance, an in-house operation may seem to be the most cost efficient way to go, especially for companies with limited budgets. But this can often lead to escalating costs, improperly sized or inefficient systems, an overemphasis on short-term benefits versus long-term goals, and overlooked regulatory compliance or even costly downtime.
Even though each turnkey solution is unique and based upon the needs of the individual client, there are several considerations that are universal to every project.
Design – the first part of any critical power installation or replacement is to consider the entire electrical infrastructure. Will the current design support new UPS or generator equipment? Does the power infrastructure align with the clients anticipated growth or contraction? What improvements can be made during the project that might bolster efficiency or prevent downtime in the future?
Equipment Selection – One of the most critical component is the selection of your UPS System or generator. We are an independent service provider. Our goal is to ensure that you have the type of UPS system and generator that is appropriate for your facility and environment.
Construction – We'll handle all of the construction planning. It doesn't matter if it's a minor expansion, an upgrade or a brand new facility, we have it covered.
Electrical – Our experienced electricians will plot out new electrical systems or repair faulty ones. We can even do an in-depth arc flash analysis.
Delivery and Rigging – Due to our vendor contracts, we have connections to ensure safe delivery of all of your equipment and ensure that it is installed to the exact specifications.
Fire Suppression – Safety is paramount in any back-up power project. We can incorporate many fire safety precautions including state-of-the-art fire suppression systems.
Air Conditioning – Heat is the worst enemy of your backup power network. We can help size your cooling capacity to ensure that your facility maintains proper temperature levels for your equipment to run at its optimum.
State and Local Permits – Permits can be the most complicated part of the entire process. We take this aspect off your mind by working with state and local officials to get the proper permits signed and in order before the work begins.
Project Management – The key to a successful project is how it is managed. We carefully plan installation tasks, timelines and inspections. This requires detailed coordination with contractors and key employees. And every project ends with a complete on-site inspection to make sure everything has been completed properly, meets requirements and exceeds expectations.
At QPS, our UPS turnkey solutions are designed from the ground up addressing both your short-term and long-term backup power needs. A great example of this; one of our recent clients found themselves in a situation where they needed clean, reliable power in order to ensure ongoing services. They were concerned that the risk of power failure was too great under their current set-up, which in turn put their own clients at risk. This was an untenable situation and needed to be addressed quickly.
By working closely with the client, we developed a turnkey solution specific to their needs that addressed all of their concerns including implementing a scalable, modular UPS that synced with their existing generator. Our technicians and service engineers managed the entire project and ensured that the transition was seamless, providing them with peace of mind and future security.
The entire process of implementing a turnkey solution is managed by our team of Certified Power Quality professionals. From the initial consultative meeting with your key team members to outline recommendations and timelines, our team is with you every step of the way. We handle the project planning, by setting a strategy and implementing it, to making sure that the project is meeting its milestones with progress inspections. As the total source for power protection, we'll make sure that you have that right power equipment to complete your solution. Throughout the project we are continuously managing contractors and budgets, but most importantly checking in with you to provide updates and ensure your satisfaction. When your turnkey solution is complete you will have peace of mind knowing that experienced, skilled, professionals will complete an on-site inspection to insure that all installations have been completed properly.
A turnkey power solution encompasses many innovative power solutions. Whether you need to remodel, build, or grow your facility, make sure to consider a turnkey solution the next time you're evaluating the future of you back-up power systems.


There are so many stories I want to share, so many tales I want to write. So many places I want to go in my head, so many what ifs I want to explore.
Or I hear a song—songs are small stories, after all—and I have to know what came before and what will happen after. That woman who left her man for the bright lights...is he waiting still? Did she ever come back? How powerful was that reunion? My mind conjures up more stories in a day than I'll ever live long enough to write...and I still want to try to write them all.
But what I don't want to do is write the same story, over and over. And that's exactly what traditional publishing wants a writer to do—find a groove that appeals to as large an audience of readers as possible...and stay there. Plow that field, that furrow, over and over and over. Except, of course, be original while doing it. Just not too original.
But I get wanting a writer you love to keep writing characters you love. Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series...I just want more and more and more of Jamie and Claire, don't you? Sir John is fine as a character within their stories, but Sir John by himself? Not for me, thank you. J K Rowling move on from Harry Potter? But, Ms. Rowling, couldn't you please just go back and have Voldemort, I don't know, reanimate or something? So we could watch Harry and Hermione and Ron go battle evil some more? I'm glad Nora Roberts has Eve Dallas and Roarke moving along at the rate of a month in their time takes two years in ours or whatever it is. I LOVE them. I can't bear to think of Jamie or Claire dying. I get it, I do.
So that's where indie publishing comes in. I've written all kinds of stories I never even tried to get published. I've got scads of ideas in my head. Maybe none of them will appeal to the audience I've been fortunate to have thus far, but with me as my publisher, I can decide to take that risk. Instead of tens of thousands, maybe I'll only have hundreds...or tens. Or ones. But that's okay because I get to crawl inside the skins of a wild array of characters via this route. It doesn't mean I don't want to write for the wonderful fans who've taken me to their hearts thus far—I do. I still like to tell a good, emotional romance.
But I've discovered I can be funny and not always gut-wrenchingly serious. I love to write suspense...and I can explore topics like obsession and delve into fantasies of a dark lover who will scorch your socks off, the way the reclusive, powerful, sorcerer figure named Dante Sabanne takes a no-nonsense cop like Jace Carroll and makes her question who she is and what she believes in SURRENDER. Or create an ancient Chinese legend that tears two lovers apart...until Lily and Damon and the Jade Dragon in THE PEARL OF PARADISE.
Or there's this four-book YA series I have sketched out. And there was the quirky tale I wrote for my own enjoyment that became THE GODDESS OF FRIED OKRA, for which I am unbelievably lucky that readers are asking for a sequel I'm actually mulling over.
So many stories I want to share...and now I can, thanks to the miracle of ebooks.
I am one lucky writer.

New Louisiana Swamp Monster
Campers catch weird creature on film
The New Louisiana Swamp Monster is a creature that was claimed to live in Louisiana. The monster was first sighted when a deer hunter at Berwick was hunting at night.
A deer hunter at Berwick, Louisiana, has captured a strange image of something wandering through the Louisiana woods at night. The hunter near Baton Rouge reported to the media that he found this bizarre image on his deer stand camera.
The hunting camera was broken but the memory card was still there and so was this remarkable photograph. NBC news station WVLA, Baton Rouge, feels it looks like a cross between a human and an animal, with long slender appendages and glowing eyes.
Perhaps tongue-in-cheek, the hunter says he just hopes it's a vegetarian, if he runs into it in the woods again.
The national media, via MSNBC, has widely shown this photograph on television.
Berwick is a town in St. Mary Parish (shown above), Louisiana, United States. The population was 4,418 at the 2000 census. The first white settler to trek through the wilderness in this area was Thomas Berwick, a surveyor from Pennsylvania who was working in Opelousas, Louisiana. He settled along the banks of the Atchafalaya River in the late 18th century. Today the town of Berwick is home to several seafood processing plants and numerous boat companies.
The photos were created as viral marketing for J. J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg's Super 8. The photo was first uploaded on a hunting supply site's Facebook page and drifted its way to mainstream media. The picture was used for the creepypasta 'the rake', and now is associated with the fictional character. The picture is also used to portray the Ghoul.

9 of the Best Places to See in Abu Dhabi
Emmanuella Oluwafemi
Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, is one of the well-ordered, industrious places with a beautiful waterside location.
Abu Dhabi was First inhabited in 1760 by the nomadic Bani Yas tribe; the settlement stayed as a small fishing village until they finally discovered oil.
The revenues derived from the sales of oil was responsible for the transformation of Abu Dhabi into the modern city that it is today. A hustling and bustling center of commerce and government.
You may have heard about some of the best places to visit in Abu Dhabi, but you certainly will be glad to add these to your list.
1. Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque
2. Louvre Abu Dhabi
3. Mangrove Kayaking Tours
4. Ferrari world
5. Boat tours
6. The observation deck at 300
7. Qasr Al-Hosn
8. Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital
9. Warner Bros World
Clad in beautiful Macedonian marble, the lovely and perfect Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is the most famous landmark building in Abu Dhabi, and by far the city's most popular sightseeing attraction today.
The mosque is a fusion of Ottoman, Mameluke, and Fatimid design elements to form a harmonious and very modern mosque that brings to life mind-blowing Islamic architecture.
Artisans used mosaic tiling, glass-work, and intricate carvings to fantastic effect on both the exterior and interior.
This has to be the most spectacular museum in the entire Middle East, and Louvre Abu Dhabi does well to trace the whole history of humanity's most impressive artistic achievements, from the Neolithic right up to the present day.
The diversity and wealth of art on display, from the ancient Egyptian sculpture to famous paintings by Picasso, is head-turning. At the same time, the contemporary architecture of the museum, with its galleries sited under a vast silver dome, is a good enough reason to visit in itself.
Apart from the permanent collection in the museum, which runs over 12 unique galleries, there are several major temporary exhibitions that are staged every year.

The Louvre happens to be the first out of three significant planned museums to open on Saadiyat Island, which will soon become the cultural heartbeat of Abu Dhabi in a few years to come.
The other two museums -Guggenheim Abu Dhabi and Zayed National Museum- will be complete in the future as they are still in the planning phases.
If you would like to see a different angle of Abu Dhabi's glass and steel exterior, take a trip into the mangrove forests that still forms a ring around the island along the shore that surrounds the city.
There's a truckload of kayaking tours that are available for various ages and levels of experience, ranging from as little as 1.5 hours to as much as three hours of boat paddling.
The Eco Tour will allow you to understand how important the ecology of mangroves, as well as an opportunity to explore these lovely last remnants of the Abu Dhabi forests.
Another mind-blowing thing that you can do for an extraordinary experience is to take the chance to sign up for night tours and enjoy the mangroves as you glide through the waters after nightfall.
This park with a branded theme is one that brings the thrills of Formula One racing to the city of Abu Dhabi, and is you can bet it is one of the top things to do in this city for thrill families and thrill-seekers alike.
Small children are at liberty to test out their newly learned driving skills on the featured Junior GT track. At the same time, if you are an adrenaline junky, you can buckle up for a quick ride in the Flying Aces roller coaster, which can clock up speeds of up to 120 kilometers per hour on a crazy 52-meter loop (making it the tallest in the world).
You'll also find a collection of Ferrari's cars, with various models dating as far back as 1947. There's also a Ferrari factory tour and a mind-blogging Ferrari knowledge game show for those who are real car nerds.

For those looking to enjoy the best views of the glittering skyscrapers of Abu Dhabi, you need to take a trip out onto the water. The spectacular views of the high-rises are all you need to feel out of this world as you drift out from the city's marina.
There are several different operators that run tours for all ranges of budgets, but two of the more memorable trips with tourists are the island hopping tours, which include a few beaches and some snorkeling time on different islands in the bay, and some sunset cruises that allows you see the lights of the city flicker into action at the time of dusk over the city-an fantastic choice for an evening activity.
Abu Dhabi has an answer to the Burj Khalifa of Dubai as it offers this observation deck, providing you with a skyline view from the highest point in the town, on the Jumeirah's 74th floor at Etihad Towers hotel.
If you are not a guest at the hotel, there is an entry fee that you have to pay, but the price of the ticket can be redeemed for drinks and food from the observation deck's restaurant, which serves light bites and snacks; soft drinks; and in the afternoon, some high-tea.
Having a nice cup of high-tea up here, with the entire city spread under you, is definitely an experience for you don't want to miss in Abu Dhabi itinerary.
The Al-Hosn Fort which was recently restored, also known as the white fort or the Old Fort, is the oldest building in the whole of Abu Dhabi and is one of its major historical points of interest.
The palace was raised from ground to roof in 1793 as the seat of government and residence of the ruling family at the time.
The interior part of the Al Hosn Fort has now been modernized and currently used as a museum that traces the culture and history of Abu Dhabi, with lots of historic photographs and oral histories on show.

The courtyard and the fantastic tile work over the primary northern gate are also notable features.
The Falcon Hospital of Abu Dhabi is a working veterinary hospital created specifically for ill and injured falcons.
Still, if visits are interested in taking a tour, it also provides completely guided tours of its facilities. The tours of the hospital allow you to get up close and personal with the world's most famous birds of prey in different wards, while there is also an on-site museum that explains the history of falconry.
If you feel up for the task, it is possible for you to have an opportunity to hold one of the big birds, or even feed them, depending on the activities that the vets are performing when you visit.
Yas Island boasts of it's latest theme park as an addition to the places you should visit. Warner Bros World is a park dedicated to its movies, cartoons, and comic book villains and heroes with all the available rides based around the featured characters.
With six different "lands" all captured under a single roof (the whole theme park is inside and entirely air-conditioned), this happens to be one of the best places for families to visit. Some rides are suitable for tots to teenagers.
Cartoon Junction and bedrocks are expressly set up for smaller kids, while Metropolis and Gotham City are home to some of the significant highlight rides, which are a combo of 4D interactive content with roller coaster-style spills and thrills
These are nine of the best places for holidaymakers to see in Abu Dhabi. Of you have any questions or would like to add any other location to this list, kindly let us know by leaving a comment below.
We hope you enjoyed this, and we look forward to reading your feedback.

Concerns about Pirate101 and Racism
Prev123
Blind Mew
Re: Concerns about Pirate101 and Racism
Hey all, sorry for the delay in responding to this thread. I assure you, it's not because the subject matter didn't concern me. After the initial post was brought to my attention I replayed the entire beginning of the game through the end of the Gold Monkey, and had one of my fellow writers who wasn't here for the launch of Pirate also play it, to see the content through fresh eyes. I also combed the scripts to examine how we depict the cultures of the Water Moles and Troggies.
I'd like to thank TheRedWallMouse for making the original post, and for the civil and well-reasoned discussion that followed. We do research the cultures we depict in our games extensively, and we try to avoid any possible stigma at every turn – the age of our player base demands that every line of dialogue we write gets subjected to heavy analysis to ensure everything is appropriate. After a lot of reading and playing, I'm ready to address TheRedWallMouse's concerns, and to take some action regarding them.
Let me open by saying that KingsIsle will always be committed to the highest standards for our game content – we make a family friendly product, so we have no tolerance for slurs of any kind against anyone. I got my college degree in history and anthropology – I take great pride in how deeply researched our content is, and know the evils of colonialism all too well. One of the lessons I tried to build into Pirate101 is that colonialism is not a good thing, and that colonial powers are not inherently good. As many posters have pointed out, the Monquistans are the targets of a lot of satire, and are revealed to be really vile once you look at them up close. Even my beloved Marleyboneans are shown to have a darker side, as seen in Bonnie Anne's third promotion quest.
(more to come...)
TheRedWallMouse asked whether our depictions of the Water Moles and Troggies were slurs against people of color, specifically Polynesians and South American tribal peoples. I don't think they are, though I can understand how certain elements could raise the question. There are a few factors at play here, and I'll address them in turn.
I think part of the issue here is comedy. One of the core pillars of Pirate101 is humor – we lay the jokes and references on thick. Characters often have outrageous accents, and the Water Moles are no different. They sometimes speak in broken English, and even the ones who speak fluent English (and a lot of them do) have voices meant to make them quirky and funny. It's a tricky dance, using characters to make jokes without making fun of them. I don't think we crossed the line here - but I do realize that the perception of that line is highly subjective. No offense or disrespect was ever intended. As other posters have pointed out, our treatment of other groups later in the game shows how seriously we take our cultural depictions.
That said, I realize now, looking back, that the Water Moles and Troggies don't get as deep a treatment as other groups later in the game. Part of that, I think, is the fact that Skull Island is crammed full of so many groups – Wharf Rats, Sharks, Monquistans, Marleyboneans, and all manner of pirates are competing for story time. As a result, the Water Moles ended up more of a sketch than a fully realized culture, especially when compared to the Bison or other cultures. The Troggies get even less. That's unfortunate, and I'll keep my eyes open for ways to address this in the future.
(more to come)
Another factor here, especially in how other characters talk about the tribal groups in Skull Island, is the setting of the game itself – my ultimate goal in making Pirate was to create an epic pirate story set in the Age of Sail. As a result, the writers aim for dialogue that feels historically accurate (if crammed full of humorous anachronisms) yet still accessible. In doing that, sometimes a word flies under the radar.
In this case, that word is "savage" – I agree with the OP that that word is, while historically accurate, too denigrating to use, especially when people on "our side" are saying it. So we will scrub the dialogue for it. Chief Gunner Rigby will find a better word for the Troggies, and some other content will be adjusted in a future update.
Over the course of the thread the topic of the Water Mole workers on the isle of Doom came up, and their "slave revolt." This needs to get addressed. I want to state unequivocally, right now, that those Water Moles are NOT slaves – they're workers the Monquistans brought with them to the Isle of Doom. One of the Water Mole NPCs explains that they're happy to do the work, and are well-treated. In retrospect, this dialogue should have been brought up in the main line, and that's a miscalculation on my part. Haku and Mogatu are not leading the rebellion because the Water Moles are being mistreated – they're doing it because they're under the influence of the Aztecosaur Mummy at the bottom of the temple. The Old One has corrupted them into leading a fight to conquer the island for themselves. As a poster pointed out, they've kidnapped other Water Moles and are holding them hostage. This storyline was intended to be a sly wink at my Lovecraftian roots, not a depiction of the evils of colonialism and slavery. That said, having just replayed it, it's obvious that bit doesn't land - the story isn't nearly as clear as it needs to be. So I'm also looking to make Haku and Mogatu's story much clearer in their dialogue in an upcoming update.
Long story short: thanks to the OP for bringing this up. It is never our intention here at KI to employ any kind of racial slur in our content. We have high editorial standards to prevent it, and we've undertaken a serious review since this thread began to look at these specific issues. And that review will result in some changes to the content in future updates. I hope this discussion has assuaged your concerns, and I'd like to thank all of the players who came forward to contribute. Smooth sailing to all of ye!

The good news here is that Blind Mew is alive and well. We need more "history lessons" to continue our education....
RRRRZZZZ419
Alright, Blind Mew I am going to put my input into this. Because you mentioned the Troggies and you committed to changing some stuff I am going to place an idea in. To get more Troggies content in I propose adding a new Troggie hunter type companion named Orick. Orick will be a Troggie who is fed up with Troggie ways and decides to join our pirate. Orick will be a storyline companion, Kingsisle will have to figure out what level we recruit Orick at. In order for max level pirates to recruit Orick they will have to fight a certain fight again(or if it's a new fight, fight it for the first time). Orick will have a promotion quest that teaches us more about the Troggies. Orick will come with parting shot 1, and will be able to learn parting shot 2, parting shot 3, double tap 1, double tap 2, double tap 3, quick adjust 1, quick adjust 2, quick adjust 3, overwatch 1, overwatch 2, overwatch 3, quick draw 1, quick draw 2, and quick draw 3. Once promoted Orick will get 2 epics of your pirate's choice and will not promote again unless more levels are added. Orick will have more feathers upon promotion and will bare the colors of your pirate's flag. All 5 classes of pirate's will recruit Orick for free as Orick will be a storyline companion. Orick will recruit 1 level above your pirate's level. A level 70 promoted Orick will have parting shot 1, plus 5 more epics of the pirate's choosing. Please make Orick a legit companion when you make the Troggie changes.
I do not feel a new water mole companion should be added as we already have Nanu Nanu, Romba, and the Water Mole Slingman.

Just so you know, this was from my friend in-game Fearless Griffin Davenport. He wanted to post but he is not a member, so he told me to say this:
"By the way, Theredwallmouse, with you posting this thread, having low experience in the game and being brand new, it gives the appearance that your main goal is not to join, play and have fun, but to stir up trouble and cause division. If this question was asked after you being a Level 70, I'd give it more credence to that sort of question as being a real concern. As for now, just have fun - there's no racial insinuation by Pirate101." - Fearless Griffin Davenport
edwallmouse's concern shouldn't be dismissed either just because they're fairly new to the game and I certainly didn't get the impression that they were trying to stir up trouble either. I guess it all comes down to perception. Moreover, you'd be surprised to know that there may be others who also share these same concerns, but are too afraid to speak up because of responses like this (among others in this thread that wrote the original post off as "looking for things that aren't there"). Kudos to Theredwallmouse for posting this thought-provoking subject and bravo to the mods for approving it.
For the record Aurora, I know it wasn't you making that statement.
Now to the subject at hand...
To answer your question OP, I believe that P101 does a pretty good job overall depicting the cultures presented in the storyline while keeping it fun and family friendly.
*Spoilers here* Ipersonally loved how the Bisons in Cool Ranch were portrayed. On the other hand, I am not too crazy of the Troggies being referred to as "savages" either. I'm pleased that Blind Mew acknowledged that the word itself is problematic (at least, coming from "our side") and is willing to clean up the dialogue in that regard. Additionally, I wasn't fond of the heavy Super Mario Italian accent the Vultures were given in Aquila, but I guess I wouldn't think too much of it since it might have been done for comedic purposes. There's really not much I can add since Anecorbie went into great detail describing how the citizens in each spiral is being portrayed and who they're based on historically.
John The Pirate
I can tell that I can't wait for this upcoming update whenever it comes. But I hope it'll definitely bring New Characters, New Enviroments, New Story, And amazingly rich of lore. I hope there'll be a story update included. Second arc or not, I'm excited and I can't wait to see what the team has for the Pirate Veteran Fans in store. Hopefully it'll be something great and worth it. I wanted to thank you for the Amazing work on the Party Barge Quests and making our 2014 Spring Update Companions to get to talk in this amazing quest of Fighting for Skull Island. It's good to hear that you're still around and listening to Player's Feedbacks and complaints.
Random reply in the wrong topic, I know. But couldn't resist. I'm happy to see you again, Blind Mew. After a Long 1 year of silence! May your course be ready and clear for 2018 and Pirate101.

Hi, FairLady1882. I told Griffin about this response, so here is his.
"Firstly, do not assume I am dismissing the post. But I have every right to voice my concerns the same as anyone else. My perspective is my own and I'm voicing what my experience, which is quite vast, conveys when it comes to introducing controversial ideas into a platform made for fun, enjoyment and game-playing. You assume I think that this poster is not looking for things that aren't there, but I stand firm in my integrity that Pirate101, the staff, the game and its agenda has nothing to do with race, nationality or controversial issues. That is my sole response and I will stand firm in this. So next time, don't assume someone else's motives because my motive was to make sure that the game is the game and not a lack of depiction or hidden agenda of some sort of derogatory endeavor to portray cultures. I recommend that you chill and refocus on just having fun. Arrgh! "

Just because you don't take offense to something doesn't mean someone else(particularly of a different culture) doesn't take offense also. Someone who grew up with a different background than you might take offense to something you don't. That isn't a bad thing. Maybe you played through the entire Pirate 101 game all the way to the current max level of 70 and had fun, but someone else of a different culture might do the same but find a couple of parts aggravating. I agree with you that Ki hasn't tried to be racist on purpose, but something could easily been overlooked especially if not all cultures are represented in Ki's staff.

Hi, Die No. Here's his response.
"Thanks for a great reply, Dino. It's true, in reality (and unfortunately also in online gaming), that the potential for anyone and everyone to be offended is greater in today's society than ever before. Unfortunately, any business, organization or individual (which includes KingsIsle and Pirate101) cannot cater and appease every single ideology. If that were indeed the case, then over 70% of Pirate101 would not exist. After all, certain cultures emphatically cried racism at the blockbuster Avatar movie because the bad guy attributed the Na'vi to being 'blue monkeys'. Another article states that inanimate objects such as trees are racist because of their location.
Point being, that entire companies, organizations, leaders and overall very good people have been sloppily and naively labeled racist without proof or substantiation.
Great point, Dino. I'm hoping that the original poster hopefully will understand the brevity of the implication, whether true or false.
Everyone on here has the 'right' to voice opinions, perspectives and even with a welcome concerns and possible due harm. However, that being said, with the stroke of our pen (or type of our keyboard, I should say), not only do we have a right - but a responsibility to make sure that we understand the power of words - how they heal, how they bless, how they hurt and how they wound.
I only say all this to point out that KingsIsle has done an epic, phenomenal job in creating an online MMORPG that can be enjoyed by so many. Let's try to keep that being the focus, rather than secondary or peripheral insinuations. Rock on, have fun and good hunting, all Pirates!"
Alright firstly, tell him he needs to chill. We're having a discussion and nobody is trying to silence him. Moreover, even though it wasn't his intent, the tone in his original reply was a bit dismissive (not entirely, just a bit), hence my response."If this question was asked after you being a level 70, I'd give it more credence to that sort of question as being a real concern". Those are his words, not mine, so perhaps he should be more mindful of his wording. Additionally, my "looking for things that aren't there" quote was directed at other replies in the topic (they're in the minority, but they're there).
My point - and I stand by this - is to not invalidate someone else's concerns just because you don't agree (or simply because it doesn't affect you). I agree that this is just a game and it should be fun (and it is), but at least acknowledge that even in a family friendly game, problematic elements can get overlooked and if it is noticed, it should be addressed.
Now, let me set the record straight: I never said that the game was racist. While I did state that there were about two elements in the game that I had an issue with, I never wrote the game off as racist. I even stated that Pirate101 did a great job portraying the cultures presented.
This is the last post I will make concerning this as I wish not to discuss this any further. If Griffin still wants to chat, I have five max toons by the names of :
Slick Tabitha Silver
Witty hazel Jackson
Crazy Grace Kidd
Little Aisha Armstrong and
Fiery Rachel Gordon
I'm always down for a Moo Manchu or Kane run, but I don't do PvPs since I highly doubt my toons are built for that.
Hi there, FairLady1882. I'm sorry that there's some misunderstanding there. This is Griffin's reply back, but it's his last post on this thread.
"You have your opinions, I have mine and both need to respect each other's equally. The tone can be taken equally with your post, disregarding and criticizing mine. Everyone has a right to state how they feel and your post seems to criticize, bash and disregard the very important things that I had mentioned. This is my last post and I encourage you and others to be careful on how you criticize others while saying others are criticizing you. That is called hypocrisy.
Anyhoo, again, careful on the words (and tone) and, as I mentioned multiple times, it would be great to refocus on the game, the experience and the whole point of why Pirate101 was created. It's not a platform for controversy or mislabeling others - it's a place to play for a phenomenal experience of an MMORPG. Period. Don't make it more than it is. Take it or leave it, what I've said is truth. Just saying..."

I think some of this issue relates to fine tuning the story and it's dialogue to the age level that the game is intended for. Older teens and adults are more likely to know more of the history used as backround to the story, and have more advanced reading and story analysis skills, to pick up on when something is being satired, and not take everything at face value. The younger players are also more likely to be the group who has been more sheltered in what they see, and be presented with materials that present very clear lines between right things and wrong things. Shades of gray and more advanced story telling might be new to them, and they might not be experienced at decoding it all.
I liked the watermoles when I met them in Wizard, which was at a much higher player level than we see them in pirate, and I think has more developed encounters with them. I would be glad to see them fleshed out more and develop them as rich characters. I'm glad Blind Mew is thinking on this. The troggies, I agree are more of a quick sketch, very generic enemy. It would be good to see them developed more. The only one we meet with a bit of character was Hopper, in the ancient ruins, with a surfer dude vibe.
stormyjensilverdra...
brilliant and thoughtful response as always, and though I'm sure none of the vets want time wasted pulling you away from what you're cooking up for us in future worlds, I for one applaud you for taking the time out to replay the entire main storyline and to be willing to adjust sensitive wordings to make it be smoother.. not sure if a minor comment like "they're acting savage" instead of us calling them savages would be worse or better.. though with my roots i do despise that word i also feel its one that helps with the awakening on the whole.. the fact that words were rude and can hurt all is a real life thing.. though it might be better to do as you suggested, scrub it fully in isle of doom but leaving it in cool ranch where its better explained..
the suggestion of adding some ?new side quests? ?new mini dungeons? to highlight the best of the troggies' and watermoles' cultures and to better explain what the main didn't is most generous of you and an applause-worthy step by the entire KI team.. though needs be that it is something extra neat and full of such amazing rewards that it'd be silly for any pirate to ignore playing(thus less likely to be missed).. like epic powers only trainable after finishing this quest, Baar/Bonnie Anne comparable heavy duty companions, a new gold vault for depositing in-game gold, 5 training tomes, permanent backpack unlock of +50 items, ship satchel where-in all ship items not equipped don't fill up main bag, pet satchel (holds 50)where-in only the equipped pet and any others over 50 count towards backpack space, free stitching coupons to be used with mrs. merryweather, some could be epic possible drops, however the first-time finish should have a giant reward combo of crazy gold crazy nautical xp and the 5 tomes could be a start..
again thank you for your time spent exploring this and listening and responding to us all much love to you buddy <3 we eagerly await whatever you're cooking up for us soon :3

This book (416 pages) was published in May of 2004 by W. W. Norton & Company. The book takes you to a Middle Eastern café in Los Angeles. Melissa read Crescent and loved it; it wouldn't be on our site if she didn't recommend it.
Diana Abu-Jaber
Our heroine Sirine is an Iraqi-American chef with blonde hair, green eyes, and a heart she's kept carefully tucked away from harm. When she meets Han, an Iraqi literature professor in exile from his home country, she allows herself to fall joyously, recklessly in love.
As Sirine and Han's intimacy grows, she begins to explore her Iraqi identity as he grapples with the memories of the places and people he left behind. When the real world of politics intervenes in their new love, they both must face the past and a dangerously uncertain future.
Most of the action in this poignant love story plays out in a family-owned Lebanese restaurant in the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles known as Tehrangeles. IRL, the area is dotted with signs written in Farsi and infused with the aroma of cumin and cinnamon. In Crescent, students and professors from UCLA, far from their homelands, find comfort and community at Nadia's Café where Sirine is the cook. They become a family of sorts, bonding over bowls of hummus and the dire news they read in their day-old Iraqi newspapers.
An ode to storytelling and family, this novel weaves an Arabic fairytale and Middle Eastern food into the narrative in a way that's reminiscent of Like Water for Chocolate. Sirine's kebabs and saffron rice become shorthand for feelings that are far too complex and significant to be expressed in words. Identity, the heartbreak of exile, the debt we owe to each other, and the power of love to change everything are explored in prose that's as buttery and light as phyllo dough.
Sirine puts a forkful of sweet potatoes into her mouth. The potatoes are soft as velvet, the gravy satiny. It is as if she can taste the life inside all those ingredients: the stem that the cranberries grew on, the earth inside the bread, even the warm blood that was once inside the turkey. It comes back to her, the small secret that was always hers, for years, the only truth she seemed to possess—that food was better than love: surer, truer, more satisfying and enriching. As long as she could lose herself in the rhythms of peeling an onion, she was complete and whole. And as long as she could cook, she would be loved. — Diana Abu-Jaber

Faruqi & Faruqi scores win for Investors before Supreme Court of the United States.
Faruqi & Faruqi is pleased to announce a tentative settlement has been reached in the shareholder litigation over the 2016 cash out merger of Hansen Medical, Inc. with Auris Surgical Robotics, Inc. The complaints alleged that the merger agreement was the result of a flawed and conflicted sales process undertaken by a group of insiders and the merger consideration for minority shareholders was inadequate. Complaints were filed in Delaware Chancery Court and in California state court. Faruqi & Faruqi was appointed co-lead counsel in the consolidated California state court actions. Plaintiffs have sought preliminary approval in California to settle all shareholder and derivative claims arising from the merger. On preliminary approval by the Court, notices will be issued to class members to advise them of their rights and regarding future proceedings.
Faruqi & Faruqi, Lead Counsel, is pleased to announce that on February 14, 2019, Lead Plaintiff, on behalf of himself and a class of all persons and entities who purchased GoPro, Inc. common stock during the period between September 19, 2016 through November 8, 2016, reached a settlement with defendants GoPro, Inc., Nicholas Woodman, Brian McGee, and Anthony Bates ("Defendants"). Defendants will pay $6,750,000 in cash to Class Members. F&F has moved the court for preliminary approval of the settlement.
On February 1, 2019, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit denied Craft Brew Alliance Inc.'s petition to appeal an order certifying classes of Kona Beer consumers. Faruqi & Faruqi, as lead counsel, allege on behalf of consumers that Kona Beers' packaging misleads consumers into believing that the beers are brewed in Hawaii. In fact, Kona Beer is brewed in the mainland United States.
The Ninth Circuit's denial follows the District Court's September 25, 2018, class certification order, in which the Honorable Beth Labson Freeman of the United States District Court for the Northern District certified classes of six and twelve-pack purchasers of Kona Beer seeking damages and injunctive relief. F&F partners Timothy J. Peter and Ben Heikali head the Kona litigation.
Faruqi & Faruqi is proud to announce final approval of a settlement valued at $48,000,000 on behalf of a New York and California class of Scotts EZ Seed consumers. Following over six years of hard-fought litigation by plaintiffs' counsel, both class members and United States District Court Judge Vincent L. Briccetti of the Southern District of New York have recognized the tremendous result achieved on behalf of the classes.
The action challenged Scotts' representation that its products allow consumers' grass to grow 50% thicker with half the water. At a minimum, consumers who submit a claim can receive a refund of up to $45, even without proof of purchase. Consumers with proof of purchase can receive a refund of up to $90, an exceptional result for class members.
Faruqi & Faruqi served as co-lead counsel for the classes, guiding and overseeing the resolution of the case from its inception. Timothy J. Peter is lead attorney on this matter for Faruqi & Faruqi and can be reached at (215) 277-5770.

On November 15, 2018, United States District Judge Jennifer A. Dorsey of the United States District Court for the District of Nevada appointed Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP to serve as Lead Counsel in Smith v. CV Sciences, Inc., et al., No. 2:18-cv-01602-JAD-PAL.
A copy of Judge Dorsey's order is linked below.
On October 17, 2018, Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP filed a shareholder derivative lawsuit in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, C.A. No. 2018-0749, on behalf of Tesla, Inc. ("Tesla") and its stockholders. The complaint alleges in part that Tesla's officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties and violated state law in connection with Elon Musk's allegedly false and misleading statements about taking the company private that has caused Tesla, amongst other things, to be sued by the Securities and Exchange Commission and settle that case for $20 million, name two new independent directors, create a permanent committee to review company statements prior to public dissemination, and hire a securities attorney to ensure compliance with SEC disclosure regulations.

Samsung Galaxy S3: Can a Smartphone Ever Live up to the Rumours?
With the Samsung Galaxy S3 launch just one day away and excitement for the new smartphone reaching fever pitch, we take a deep breath and remember that rumours and speculation can lead to disappointment.
Don't get us wrong, we're as excited about the launch of the Galaxy S3 as the next Android fanboy, but cast your minds back just a few months to the iPhone 4S and the rumour mill behemoth that was - and still is - the mythical iPhone 5.
We were promised a quad-core processor, more than 100GB of storage, 4G networking, an all-new, carbon fibre design, and maybe even a second, cheaper model to boot - but in the end Apple gave us the iPhone 4S, an update that, while strong, could simply not live up to the rumours.
So what about the Samsung Galaxy S3? Apart from Samsung denying any 3D support and confirming it will be powerred by a quad-core Exynos 4 quad processor, the rumour mills have been left to their own devices. What Samsung has done is keep interest high by first denying that the S2's replacement would arrive at Mobile World Congress in February, then adding that the mythical phone will get its own media event later in the year.
The Galaxy S2 is soon to be replaced, but can the S3 live up to the hype surrounding it?
Then came the 24-hour countdown in late April, followed by a teaser trailer showing not much more than computer-generated shots of space and some iPhone fans cleverly disguised as sheep.
While rumours surrounding the Galaxy S3 have remained plausible, some notable exceptions include the use of wireless inductive charging - like the TouchStone charger sold alongside the Palm Pre back in 2009 - that can apparently charge the S3 from two metres away.
As with the new Apple iPad, the Galaxy S3 will almost certainly support 4G networking for super-fast download speeds but, as 4G isn't yet available in the UK, the S3 sent to our shores will be pegged back to 3G speeds.
We're struggling to believe reports of a ceramic back, but otherwise the rumour mill appear to have learnt its lesson, and the Galaxy S3 won't be another 'iPhone 4S moment' of relative disappointment.
Away from the improbable, we're expecting an iPhone-rivalling smartphone with a quad-core processor clocking in at around 1.4GHz and accompanied with 1GB of RAM, and a screen similar to the Galaxy Nexus, measuring in at almost five inches - far larger than the iPhone's 3.5in display.
With the big announcement just one day away, we will soon find out if Samsung has hit the iPhone 4S and HTC One X out of the park, or opted for a conservative - perhaps cheaper - approach.
Stay tuned to IBTimes UK, as we will be attending the event at Earls Court to bring all of the news and a hands-on of whatever Samsung has in store for us.

Going back to work in 2017 was more difficult than I expected since I've been either completely off or working a drastically reduced schedule for more than two weeks. It's been a good break, spending time with friends, de-cluttering in preparation for the new year, and of course seeing patients.
Cold and flu season has hit with a vengeance, and several of our offices had to call in additional providers to handle the surge. We're in a good position to deal with situations like that because we have a large number of part-time providers who are willing to work an extra few hours here and there to help move patients through more quickly. We had patients calling from the waiting rooms of other urgent care and hospital facilities asking what our wait time was, which was a new experience for some of our reception staff. Hopefully what's going around will start waning, because it's hitting people hard and making them pretty miserable.
Consulting has been busy, with quite a few potential clients calling for Meaningful Use attestation assistance. I'm glad they're reaching out early in the cycle instead of waiting for the last minute. About half of the people I've talked to have their materials largely in order, but the rest of them are trending more towards the train wreck category. If you're not even sure how to run your quality reports, and haven't been running them throughout the year, you need a little more than just some attestation help.
For those folks, I'm requiring them to engage for 2017 in a comprehensive way along with the engagement for 2016. We're happy to help, but I'm not going to enable next year's fire drill. It may cost me some business, but I've reached the point where I'm happy to make less money rather than being part of someone's disaster.
The rest of the healthcare IT world seems slow, which is typical for this time of year. Vendors are holding their major releases and announcements until closer to HIMSS, which is sad because then they are lost in the hustle and shuffle along with everyone else's supposedly big news.
I received an email from HIMSS regarding corporate focus groups, which I've participated in from time to time. One of the items in the email struck me (and not just because it was in bold font and highlighted in yellow). They're limiting attendance at each focus group to the first 12 people who show up, even if they've invited more than 12 people. I get the fact that they want to manage around no-shows, but it just seems strange. Maybe it will pit potential attendees against each other gladiator style as they wrestle for the last chair left in the room. We can only hope for such entertainment.
I've been to some focus groups that have been lackluster, but last year attended one where the presentation team was imploding. Apparently one of their key participants had resigned before HIMSS and was pulled from the trip, without management acknowledging that there was no one else who knew anything about the topic or who was prepared to run a focus group. How do I know this? Because the remaining presenters aired their laundry in front of the group, expressing their frustration as they apologized for the fragmented content. It was painful to watch, and I felt for the survivors, but it would have been more humane to just cancel.
I'm also starting to make preparations for my annual booth crawl traditions with some of my BFFs that I only see once a year. I'm heading to Orlando a day early for some preparatory downtime with a friend who lives on the coast, which will make for a much more relaxed start to HIMSS than last time it was in Orlando. I was delusional enough to run the Disney Princess half-marathon on the opening day of HIMSS, which is a choice I wouldn't make again. It's exhausting enough without starting out tired, so I think this year's plan is much more solid.
A few people have asked what I'm going to be looking at in the exhibit hall and the answer is I'm not sure. What I am sure of though is that there will be plenty of buzzwords such as population health, with everyone using it differently. My favorite part of HIMSS is visiting with the smaller vendors, who often have some real innovation. I've got a couple of EHRs that I've been following over the years, and I'll check in with their websites from time to time to see if they're still around or where they're focusing.
I was sad to see that one of them recently dropped its multi-specialty focus, but was pleased to learn that they're focusing on the behavioral health space where good platforms are definitely needed. There are challenges with group visits, enhanced confidentiality, and data sharing that some larger vendors don't do a great job with. I noticed also that they're no longer certified, which I'm sure factored in to the change.
There are a couple of changes to the HIMSS agenda. A designated exhibit floor social hour on Monday promotes sampling drinks while touring the exhibit floor. I'm not sure how that's really different from the booths that historically sponsor happy hours, other than they're probably paying more for conference-level promotion rather than doing it themselves.
Another special exhibit area is the Population Care Management Knowledge Center, which proposes to help attendees "discover the answers you need to design and implement a successful care coordination and care management programs for your unique populations." Although most of the session offerings do center around population health, there are some others included that make me wonder if they didn't have anywhere else to put them: "Helping Patients Find NCI-Supported Cancer Trials" and "Building Consumer Loyalty." I also noticed one offering that may not be new but I certainly haven't noticed it before, and that's registration being offered at the airport. Since I'm staying off the main convention drag, I'm hoping to take advantage.
What are you looking forward to at HIMSS? Email me.

Exits are often not very easy to manage whether its for an individual leaving an apartment he had stay for sometime or a company moving out of a nation's bourse.
Such kinds of movements can sometimes have a damaging influence on an individual or a company and in the process impact on the confidence business partners or institutional investors have on an enterprise. This of course results in lower volume and reduced liquidity for its shares.
However, delisting from a securities exchange has often been viewed as evidence of tough times which most organisations cannot control on their own operating at current levels hence the need for a reduced scope that would not demand much of the suffocating Corporate governance principles required of large corporations.
Over the last two decades, the number of publicly quoted companies seeking to delist from the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) has been on the increase as Daily Sun investigations revealed that about 109 Securities have delisted from the nation's bourse in the 16-17 years.
The firms were said to have left the market for various reasons ranging from voluntary, regulatory directive, to mergers and acquisitions.
Delisting of securities from an Exchange means removing a quoted company from the main board of the exchange with the securities of the affected issuer no longer to be traded on the Exchange and the issuer's name removed from the Daily Official List.
Voluntary delisting is the withdrawal of an Issuer's securities listed on the Exchange with the express approval of the holders of its equity after complying with relevant requirements in that regard.
On the other hand, regulatory delisting refers to the removal by the Exchange of an issuer's securities for non-compliance with the listings rules of the Exchange or for breach of the terms and conditions of the general undertaking executed by the issuer when its securities were listed by the Exchange.
Available records from the NSE's website show that during the period under review about 17 out of the 90 companies opted for voluntary delisting while 78 others were induced regulatory delisting.
The firms that delisted voluntarily include, Avon Crowncaps, CFAO Nigeria Plc, Cappa and D'Alberto, Enpee Plc, Impresit Bakalori Plc, IHS Nigeria Plc, Incar Plc, Great Nigeria Insurance, Nigerian Bottling company, Nampak Plc, United Nigeria Textile Plc,Nigerian textile mills Plc , Poly Products Plc, Seven-up Bottling company, Paints and Coating Manufactures Nigeria Plc, and of course the newest additions, Newrest ASL and First Aluminium Plc.
Some of the companies that delisted based on regulatory violations include Dumez Nigeria, Atlas Nigeria, Beverages Nigeria, BHN Plc, MNET-Supersport, Ceramics Manufacturing company, BAICO Insurance company, AB Plast Plc, Tate Industries, Skye Bank, Fortis Microfinance Bank, Maureen Laboratory, Rietzcot Nigeria, Intra Motors Nigeria, Grommac Industries, Onwuka Hi-Tek, Nigerian Lamps, Nigerian Yeast & Alcohol, Security Associate, Footwear, Ferdinand Oil Mills, Christlieb, BCN, Liz-Olofin & Companies, Oluwa Glass company, Confidence Insurance Plc and Aba Textile Mills.
Others are Aboseldehyde Labouratory, Epic Dynamic, Famad, Afprint, Nigercem, Daily Times, Albarka Airline, Foremost Dairies ,Wiggins Teape Nigeria ,Okitipupa Oil Palm, First Capital Investment & Trust, Flexible Packaging, Newpak, Krabo Nigeria, Tropical Petroleum, Udeofosin Garment, Hallmark Paper Product, West African Aluminium, Nigerian Wire Industry, IPWA, G. Cappa, West African Glass Industries, Investment & Allied Insurance, Alumaco, Jos International Breweries, Adswitch, Rokanna, Lennards (Nigeria), P.S Mandrides & Company, Premier Breweries, Costain, Navitus Energy and Nigerian Ropes Plc.
The numbers might still increase after fresh anxiety heightened recently among stakeholders as A.G Leventis is said to be making moves to delist from the nation's stock market.
Shareholders of A.G. Leventis (Nigeria) Plc had been offered N1.4 billion for the sale of their entire shareholding in the company with the firm stating in a notice to investors that Boval S.A, acting on behalf of itself, Leventis Holding S.A, and Leventis Overseas Limited, had planned to acquire the shares held by other shareholders.
Though the company did not give reasons, it had posted a loss of N282.3 million in the first half of the year. The company had also recorded a loss of N3.5 billion in 2017 but saw a turnaround in 2018 with a profit of N876 million.
According to the notice, Boval S.A had approached the board of directors of the company with an intention to acquire the shares held by other shareholders at an offer price of 53 kobo per share, which translates to N1.4bn while adding that after the purchase, the company would be delisted from the Nigerian Stock Exchange.
The notification further said, "The offer price of 53 kobo represents a premium of 85 per cent to the 60-day volume weighted average share price and 104 per cent to the Company's closing share price on 23 September 2019. The proposed transaction will be implemented under a Scheme of Arrangement in line with section 539 of the Companies and Allied Matters Act, Cap C.20 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004".
According to the company, the proposed transaction is still subject to review and clearance of the NSE and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as well as the approval of the shareholders of the Company.
"The terms and conditions of the proposed transaction will be provided in the Scheme Document which will be dispatched to all shareholders following the receipt of the "no-objection" of the regulators and an order from the Federal High Court to convene a Court-Ordered Meeting".
The company thereafter assured that further developments will be communicated to shareholders in due course and advised them to exercise caution in dealing in the company's shares until further information is provided.
Daily Sun gathered that more firms may follow since most of them are finding it highly challenging to meet the post-listing obligations.
In a bid to stop the growing number of delisted public companies on the Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has disclosed that it has initiated moves to stop the worrisome trend and also encourage the listings by more multinational companies in the country.
The Nigerian capital market regulator noted that it had mandated its Capital Market Committee (CMC) to look into the real reasons for such development, adding that it would further meet with shareholder groups to determine reasons for their consistent exit from the market.
SEC's acting Director General, Mary Uduk, assured on its commitment to improved listing of multinational companies in Nigeria's capital market, adding that the practice of delisting by quoted companies was a threat to market growth.
She lamented that some highly capitalised companies had delisted, thereby, affecting market the growth.
Uduk said, "increase in de-listing by public companies pose a threat to the market in view of the fact that quite a number of them are highly capitalised."
Chief Executive Officer, NSE, Oscar Onyema, for his part, observed that the reality of exchanges around the world is that companies in their life cycle will list while others will delist over time.
Onyema noted that the NSE's job is to make it easy for companies to come in and if they want to leave, that they would leave in an orderly manner.
"We cannot regulatory to prevent a company that freely listed on our platform from delisting because it is not a prison. What we can do is to ensure that when they are leaving, there are certain things they must put in place for their shareholders and we believe that our current listing rules, which are bench-marked against other rules in other jurisdictions do provide those protections. The other thing is that we require in certain circumstances, for companies to escrow some amount of money to ensure that the money is accessible to investors that do not wish to continue with them as an unlisted company.
The suggestion about some sort of collaboration among the Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC, Corporate Affairs Commission, CAC, and the NSE with respect to delisted companies is an interesting one, but a company has the right, you will recall, to say to the NSE, "am no longer listed and therefore, am no longer subject to your regulatory jurisdiction".
According to him, "We do take the point, however, that there is a level of dissatisfaction around delisting. We are not saying that we do not recognise that or that we won't for example look into the kinds of suggestions that have been made and see if we can, this year, go back and beef up our rules and processes with regards to delisting.
We actually do have a team that their job is to maintain a relationship with the existing listed companies and to make sure that we properly service those companies and to help them to extract the value of being listed at the exchange".
Shareholders have however pointed out that the regulatory authorities have so far erred in their duty to develop the capital market into a world class market while adding that the rot in the regulatory system needs to be cleaned for the market to be like its peers.
National Coordinator, Progressive Association of Nigeria (PSAN), Boniface Okezie, speaking to Daily Sun on telephone, maintained that the current leadership of the SEC and the NSE have lost focus while calling on the Federal Government to channel its interest to the capital market.
His words, "The problem here is that SEC as well as NSE have presently failed in their duty of developing the capital market. Instead of looking at how the market can be developed, these two regulators are there chasing mundane things that have no bearing to their mandate.
SEC is concerned about gifts at AGM where most companies are not paying dividend. This is to say SEC has lost its bearing on what it is supposed to be doing. On the other hand, the NSE under its current leadership is not helping matters. Have they gone to these companies to ask what the issues are? Have they proffered a model as to how this would stop? Have they looked at the transaction cost? A company is trying to survive and you keep demanding listing fees and they are not finding their feet. All what is needed to be done is reduce the cost a bit and then come to an agreement that once they find their feet, then they can pay up.
The Exchange should be able to find out the loopholes rather they are not doing that, they are only interested in listing fees. There is just rot in the regulatory system which needs to be purged. We have not finished wooing foreign investors not to talk of the domestic ones, the government itself has not been doing well. Even with the constituted SEC board, nothing has been done to put a substantive Director General who should wield the big stick. We cannot continue to have acting DGs and we want a world class capital market, the simple truth is that it does not inspire confidence to potential investors.
Until the government finds interest in sanitising the market and also know that the capital market should be contributing to the nation's GDP just as its peers in U.S.A, South Africa, Kenya and Egypt are doing, then we will keep lagging behind".
The Chief Executive Officer of Cowry Assets Limited, Johnson Chukwu, explained that some of the companies' operations were no longer profitable, adding that these firms want to remain valuable without listing.
Chukwu said, "There are several factors as to why those companies delisted. Some of them's operational activities are no longer strong. There are also companies that delisted beause they were acquired and the acquiring company did not want to be quoted on the Exchange just like the Nigerian Bottling company. Thirdly, it is either the company is not meeting up post listing requirements and maybe the NSE compelled them to delist, it happened to Premier Paints.
So it is down to three major factors; the companies' operations are no longer profitable or viable, company has been acquired by a shareholding entity that might have decided to go private and then the company is unable to meet up with post listing requirements".
For his part, Registrar/Chief Executive Officer, Institute of Capital Market Registrars, Dr David Ogogo, said the regulatory authorities are doing everything possible to tighten the loopholes, adding that the market is not doing poorly especially with the addition of MTNN and Airtel Africa.
"Delisting is a private thing as the board of any company will decide whether it should delist or not. We should not forget that the capital market has rules and regulations so if one or two companies fail to meet up with the rules and regulations, they should be free to exit the market. But with the figure of 109, it still does not mean the market is doing poorly, what i think is happening is that the leadership of the market including SEC and the NSE and now with the FMDQ coming up, are now tightening the loopholes. Those that cannot meet up with those rules will just have to exit the market and this is what brings integrity to the market", he said.

Chad Mayes quit the GOP. Industry groups, unfazed, are spending $500,000 to reelect him
Sam Metz
Assemblyman Chad Mayes' decision to leave the Republican Party and navigate Sacramento as the legislature's sole independent hasn't decreased his standing in the eyes of the industry groups that have long backed him, campaign finance filings show.
Thus far in February, independent expenditure committees funded by industry groups representing dentists, hospitals and the real estate industry have spent $493,000 in support of Mayes's reelection campaign and $109,000 to oppose his opponent, Republican Andrew Kotyuk.
The former Republican Assembly Leader has long enjoyed support from Sacramento's "third house" — the special interest groups that regularly court legislators — and the independent expenditure committees they fund. The advertising, consulting and mail that independent expenditure committees are purchasing to support Mayes suggest industry groups aren't worried about upsetting either party by choosing Mayes over party-backed candidates in District 42, where two-way partisan registration is nearly evenly split.
Election 2020:42nd Assembly District candidates Mayes, Kotyuk, Mazingo answer The Desert Sun's questions
Campaign finance laws limit how much lobbies and political action committees can contribute to any individual candidates. But independent expenditure committees can bankroll polling, mail and digital advertising, and other helpful tools key to winning elections as long as they don't coordinate directly with campaigns.
Campaign contributors prefer incumbent over party-backed candidates
Since the beginning of 2019, Mayes raised $582,000 in cash contributions to add to his war chest left over from past campaigns and spent $607,000. As of Feb. 15, he had more than $109,000 cash on hand.
Some of Mayes' largest contributions came from labor groups who tend to back Democrats, including the California State Association of Electrical Workers ($5,000), the Southwest Regional Council of Carpenters ($5,000) and the California State Council of Laborers ($4,7000). He also received contributions in 2019 from Phillip Morris ($4,700), the utility company Edison International ($4,700), vape-product maker Juul Labs ($4,700), and Palm Springs restaurateur and philanthropist Harold Matzner ($4,700).
Most of his spending was on consulting, polling and advertising, but his campaign also contributed $10,000 to the Palm Springs International Film Festival, which is chaired by Matzner.
Since the beginning of 2019, Mazingo raised $59,000 in cash contributions and spent $49,000. The California Nurses Association contributed $9,300 and Emily's List — a group that supports pro-choice Democratic women running for office— contributed $4,700. As of Feb. 15, she had $10,000 cash on hand.
Since the beginning of 2019, Kotyuk raised $132,000 in cash contributions and spent $81,000. Kotyuk's filings show the California Republican Party spent $20,000 to conduct a survey on his behalf. California's Amalgamated Transit Union, which represents public transit workers, contributed $9,300 to Kotyuk's second go at unseating Mayes. (Kotyuk ran against Mayes in 2018.) As of Feb. 15, he had $51,000 cash on hand.
Republican Assembly Leader Marie Waldron, R-Escondido, Republican Senate Leader Shannon Grove, R-Bakersfield, Assemblyman James Gallagher, R-Yuba City and former State Sen. Jeff Stone each contributed $4,700 to Kotyuk's bid against their former caucus member.
The Independent (Expenditure) Candidate
Independent expenditure committees have a history of supporting Mayes, who brands himself as a business-friendly conservative. Even though he no longer has the support of a party caucus, committees funded by real estate industry groups, utility and insurance providers, police officers and dentists continue to spend on advertising, consulting and polling in support of Mayes' campaign.
Keep California Golden, an independent expenditure committee primarily funded by the California Building and Trades Association and the California Association of Realtors spent $127,000 on behalf of Mayes. The California Labor and Business Alliance (CLAB), an independent expenditure committee whose backers include Chevron, the California Correctional Peace Officers Association and the State Building and Construction Trades Council, spent $216,000 on television commercials and mailers.
The $493,000 of expenditures in 2020 already outpaces what industry groups spent on the race in 2018. In that contest, Mayes faced GOP challengers upset with his vote to extend the state's cap-and-trade program; the same independent expenditure committees spent $310,000 on attack ads against Mayes' Republican challengers, Kotyuk and Gary Jeandron. Comparatively, anti-tax committees spent $30,000 opposing him in 2018.
The California Dental Association, which also supports Mayes, and the California Alliance for Progress and Education (an independent expenditure committee funded by industry groups that lobby for pharmacists, realtors and police officers), have spent a combined $109,000 to oppose Kotyuk. The Riverside Sheriff's Association has spent more than $5,000 in independent expenditures to support Kotyuk's candidacy.
Following Mayes' defection from GOP, Republican Andrew Kotyuk to seek Assembly seat Calif. Assemblyman Chad Mayes defects from GOP, will run for reelection as an independent Election 2020: 42nd Assembly District candidates Mayes, Kotyuk, Mazingo spar over issues Chad Mayes quit the GOP. Industry groups, unfazed, are spending $500,000 to reelect him Republicans need to 'wise up' to being 'a toxic brand,' Chad Mayes says after posing Twitter question

I'm working. I've been working all day and I will be working into the night, but it's been a beautiful day! Blue sky, cool, and breezy—it feels like Michigan. Actually Husband said that to me earlier today. This editing gig is not fascinating—a computer title—but it's work and they're paying me and this is for one of my very favorite clients. My window looks out on the yard outside the cottage and the trees and my neighbors potted flowers. It's quite lovely. The picture is a little funky because I took it through the screen.
We finished up the cottage guest room this morning–well, Husband did. He painted one wall as an accent, and put the white wicker bedframe against the sage green walls and hung some photos up and added our green print quilt. All in all, quite homey for when PJ and her husband come up for Labor Day Weekend. Can't wait!
A beer-30 break from work with some very nice Riesling, but only a little.
The guest room is done.
Pal, Lucy is home safe and sound.
I'm on my last editing gig before my vacation. YAY!

Q: valid and efficient implementation of hashcode() I have a class School:
public class School{

    private int noOfTeachers;
    private int noOfStudents;

     //setters and getters....

    public boolean equals(Object that){
     //instance of check..
      return (this.noOfTeachers == ((School)that).noOfTeachers  ||
               this.noOfStudents== ((School)that).noOfStudents);
     }

     public int hashCode(){
       //What goes in here??? o.O
     }
}

How should I proceed with implementation of hashCode for this class? I am not able to think of a strategy which will involve both noOfTeachers and noOfStudents for calculation of hash. Rather noOfTeachers and noOfStudents combination seems to be breaching contract between equals and hashCode.

A: You will not find any proper hashCode() implementation for your class, That would serve your need! Because your equals method uses OR to its properties of your class. Using OR in the equals method returns true for more than one state of any object.
So using unique return value of the hashCode() you certainly cannot represent multiple state! And more over you should know, hashCode() must return unique value for an object.
As returning multiple values by it, leads to an ambiguity (and harms certainty) to put an object into any map. Because that is a violation of the assumption of "Uniqueness of keys of a map".
