Bruce Arians optimistic about Patrick Peterson injury, defensive line depth to be tested
A look at the injury situation as the Cardinals start getting ready for the 49ers.

Share All sharing options for: Bruce Arians optimistic about Patrick Peterson injury, defensive line depth to be tested
The Arizona Cardinals will return to practice on Wednesday and they are still a bit banged up with injuries. However, perhaps the most important one -- Patrick Peterson's ankle -- could be on the good side of things.
Head coach Bruce Arians is optimistic about the prospects of Peterson playing on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers.
Appearing on his weekly radio spot with Alex Marvez on SiriusXM NFL Radio, Arians said he "think he's going it make it," nothing Peterson "felt better" on Tuesday. "That's the big one," he said (via ESPN). Peterson suffered an ankle injury in the fourth quarter of the team's win over the Bengals on Sunday night.
Per Marvez on his Twitter account, Arians doubts defensive tackle Frostee Rucker will be able to play on Sunday, though. Rucker also suffered an ankle injury, but it is of the high ankle sprain variety. His loss will be big, as Arians told Marvez Rucker is playing the best of all the guys on the defensive line.
Fellow defensive lineman Cory Redding is also doubtful for this week. He suffered an ankle injury against Seattle.
Receiver Michael Floyd and guard Jonathan Cooper are uncertain moving forward. They might or might not practice this week.

Putting Private Markets First
(This is the unabridged version of Alex Lazovsky's recent post on Forbes.)
Many signs point to greater convergence between public and private markets, and venture capital has good reason to feel deeply ambivalent about their increasing similarity. To understand what this convergence might mean for venture capital and private equity, let's take a look at the differences between public and private markets, what changes are on the horizon, and what they imply for funds and investors.
Different Leagues for Different Players
Public markets are probably the most familiar, the brand names: NYSE, Nasdaq, LSE, etc. They are easily accessible, highly liquid, and pretty boring, especially in the last decade. Generally, short, infrequent periods of volatility punctuate longer stretches of modest, predictable growth. The public markets are tightly regulated, and information about public companies is plentiful. Retail investors looking for a "set it and forget it" strategy as well as institutional investors looking to balance predictability and yield are likely to feel at home on the public markets.
Private markets are less predictable and less formal. While there are exchanges for privately held equity, like Forge Global, a lot of business is conducted across conference tables. Private markets are home to companies ranging from garage startups to hectacorns like SpaceX and Stripe. Their volatility is hard to quantify because information is much scarcer, and it's hard to track all the startups that fail to survive even their first year.
Always good advice (image: janilson furtado)
What is clear, though, is that private markets can punish set-and-forget strategies harshly. They are more suited to "investigate and cultivate," i.e. investors and managers willing to devote considerable time to researching the best deals and monitoring them assiduously.
Signs of Convergence
There are several indications that private and public markets are becoming more similar. The first is the existence of secondary market exchanges, where employees, founders, and early stage VCs can turn their equity into cash before an official exit. Platforms like AngelList give retail investors access even to early and mid-stage startups. Thanks to such markets, private equity can be bought and sold without any direct interaction between the buyer and seller — just like the public exchanges.
Another indicator is the "maturity" of companies when they go public. Back in 1999, the median age of companies going public was five years. It is now 11. In the same period, their median valuation at IPO has risen by over 6x. In other words, companies now wait longer and grow bigger before going public, so when they exit they look more like the established public companies of the previous generation.
Third, regulators are not oblivious to these changes, and they're also treating private markets more like public ones. For example, the SEC is looking to increase reporting requirements for unicorns. While few rejoice at the prospect of new regulation, it makes a certain amount of sense when you hear things like "Retail [investment] has been the holy grail of private markets since … a generation ago."
Perhaps the most decisive indicator are expectations in the industry. Prophecies in this business have a tendency to fulfill themselves. So when strategies adjust to account for the convergence, and experienced VC managers say "I'm going to be more conservative until we see more of an alignment between private and public equity," the alignment everyone anticipates is just a matter of time.
Implications for VC
At first glance, convergence between public and private markets might seem thoroughly positive for venture capital. After all, public markets are where many great exits happen; they're the terminal point of our efforts, our goal. If public markets are good, and private markets are starting to resemble them, that has to be good too, right?
On further thought, we might start to miss our less formal private markets when they're gone for several reasons. First, what would 'exit' mean without distinct private markets? Exits are when venture capital and private equity divest and sell our stakes to retail, institutional, and corporate investors. But if retail investors were to start participating even in early and mid-stage funding rounds, would that count as an exit? If not, what would? If Forge Global starts to look more like the Nasdaq, and Angellist starts to look more like Forge Global, where would we find the threshold between public and private?
Exits must be clear to be useful (Image: Rayson Tan)
The second reason to dread convergence is the loss of agility. Startups need to learn how to be what they're destined to become. Such learning involves many mistakes and furious innovation. By contrast, retail and institutional investors reward public companies for caution and predictability. This is exactly what Mark Zuckerberg meant when he changed the Facebook motto from "Move fast and break things" to "Move fast with stable infrastructure" (~yawn~). Throttling the pace of startup growth and change not only restricts the range of innovations benefitting society and the speed of their development; it changes the game entirely. Instead of underappreciated geniuses developing disruptive technologies, we should expect sure-things managed conservatively by risk-averse bean counters.
Private markets also have a proven niche. They're full of activity because there's demand for investment opportunities between highly regulated public markets and casinos, markets where connections and acumen matter. It's entirely appropriate for regulators to protect casual investors and systemically relevant assets like pension funds. But without vibrant private markets with commensurate regulations, sophisticated, experienced, risk-amenable investors will seek other less regulated and potentially less socially beneficial avenues.
Where else would the $130 billion of venture capital invested in US firms go otherwise? DeFi? Formality and regulation creeping into existing private markets could push resources into far less formal and largely unregulated opportunities. Promising startups would get lost in the wilderness, due diligence would be a thing of the past, and mainstream investors would be pushed into the unsavory margins.
It's important to remember that private secondary markets are not defective public markets. They are not less than public markets, merely different from. They need (and have) different rules for different kinds of actors because they serve different purposes. Only separate entities — like public and private markets — can work together.
Just like public and private markets, rowers on each side of the boat need each other. (Image: Josh Calabrese)

Olympics: Gabby Thomas perfect for 200
Olympics: "That's Gabby, that's the Gabby Thomas we know"
Olympics: UMass grad Heather MacLean proving she belongs in Tokyo
Reaching the Olympic women's 200-meter dash final briefly escaped Gabby Thomas' control Monday.
The top two runners in each of the three semifinals qualified for Tuesday morning's final automatically, leaving two open lanes for the next two quickest runners. Thomas, a Florence native, finished third in the second semifinal in 22.01 seconds, faster than anyone in the first semifinal. As long as no more than two ran faster than her in the third semifinal, she would qualify for the final.
No one did..
The event's three fastest times emerged from the second semifinal, allowing Thomas to race for gold. Jamaica's Elaine Thompson-Herah won the heat in 21.66, one of the six fastest times ever. Namibia's Christine Mboma edged Thomas down the final stretch for the second consecutive round, hitting the line in 21.97 to automatically qualify for the final.
"I want a gold medal. I'm excited to go for it," Thomas said on the USA broadcast.
The final starts at 8:50 a.m. Tuesday and can be streamed on NBCOlympics.com
Thomas, 24, posted the second-fastest time in history in winning the U.S. Olympic Trials (21.61) but didn't break 22 seconds in either of her first two runs in Tokyo.
Mboma also chased down Thomas in Sunday night's first round, though the Williston Northampton and Harvard grad smoothly advanced to the 200 semifinals Sunday, placing second in her heat in 22.2 seconds.
Thomas, making her Olympic debut, shot out of the start and led for most of the way before Mboma turned on the jets to beat her to the line (22.11). Thomas ran from Lane 2, chasing the entire field form the staggered start around the turn. She posted the second-quickest time in the opening round.
Mboma excels at the 400 but was barred from running that event by World Athletics because of naturally high testosterone levels.
Pioneer Valley residents cheered Thomas from a watch party at the Northampton Center for the Arts on Sunday organized by Northampton Open Media and state Sen. Jo Comerford, among others.
"It was very organic, folks trading texts. I was part of that early," Comerford said. "We just organically wanted to recognize there's a young woman from Florence on the Olympics and how unbelievably exciting that was and feeling very inspired by Gabby and her story and her unbelievable gifts. We wanted to create a space where the community could join together."
Around 75 people gathered in a large ballroom with the preliminary race projected on a large screen. Newly minted Northampton youth poet laureate Rio Santos read one of her poems, "Wind."
The crowd included community members, local runners, local politicians and many Williston Northampton students.
"For most of us in the area, this is something really to celebrate. I'm excited for her (Thomas)," said Northampton resident Tricia Loomis, Santos' mother. "She seems like such an incredible person. She's super brilliant. I feel like showing up is a way to support her."
They watched the first three heats, many learning about the sport and event for the first time. A hush fell around the crowd at 9:50 p.m., minutes before Thomas took the track. It erupted when the camera panned to her on the start line decked in red white and blue and the commentator compared her to Wonder woman.
"It was a wonderful raucous din," Comerford said. "It was our Florence neighbor running in the Olympics."
MacLean moving on
UMass graduate Heather MacLean secured a spot in the women's 1,500 semifinals after her Olympic debut Sunday. She placed fifth in the third heat, crossing the line in 4:02.4.
The top six finishers in each heat advanced automatically followed by the next six fastest times.
World-record holder Faith Chepngetich Kipyegon of Kenya won the heat in 4:01.4.
MacLean will run in the second semifinal at 6:12 a.m. Wednesday. She had the fifth-fastest time in the first round.

Many people expected that since we have not seen a 2014 Lexus IS F based on the redesigned 2014 IS sedan, it would not exist for the 2014 model year. Instead, Lexus will continue the IS F for 2014 in nearly the same form as it was offered in 2013, complete with the "old" look, chassis, interior and drivetrain. However, the company has made a handful of changes to allow it to stand out a bit from the 2013 model year IS F but those changes come with an increase in price that is bigger than the increases with the rest of the 2014 IS lineup.
The 2014 Lexus IS F carries a starting price of $63,350 not including the $910 destination fee. This base price is up $1,600 compared to the 2013 model year and when you consider the fact that the destination fee has increase from $895 in 2013 to $910 in 2014, the out the door price of the 2014 IS F is $1,615 more than the price for last year's models. Fortunately, there are some new features for 2014 on the inside and out – although there have been no mechanical changes for the new year.
The 2014 Lexus IS F is powered by the same 5.0L V8 as the previous model year with 416 horsepower and 371lb-ft of torque being sent to the rear wheels by means of an 8 speed sport shift automatic transmission featuring steering wheel mounted shift paddles. This sporty luxury sedan will be able to hit 60 in just 4.6 seconds with a quarter mile time of 13 seconds flat and a top speed of 170 miles per hour.
New for the 2014 Lexus IS F is a standard carbon fiber rear spoiler and LED fog lights rather than the "normal" light bulbs so the outside has a look that is slightly sportier and a touch more high tech. On the inside, the 2014 IS F wears new headrests with embroidered F logos with soft Alcantara added to the door panels and center console cover. Black full semi-aniline leather trimmed seats have replaced the black Alcantara and leather-trimmed seats while those buyers who order the red leather trimmed seats get black Alcantara inserts with red perforations and black leather headrests.
This is an interesting move for Lexus to continue with the "old" IS F considering the vast changes made to the 2014 IS but considering that they do not have a new high performance package ready just yet – it isnt hurting anything to offer the old style IS F with the 416 horsepower engine. Those who want the big power right now can opt for this package rather than hunting around for a new-old stock 2013 IS F while those who would prefer the new look and the lesser output of 306 horsepower in the 2014 IS 350 F Sport.
Of course, the 2014 Lexus IS F will also bridge the gap to the next generation IS F that is expected to arrive within the next year or so.
Because no images of the 2014 Lexus IS F have been issued by Toyota yet, Ive used a picture of the awesome 2013 IS F Pikes Peak race car which is based on the 2013 IS F. For comparison's sake, the image below shows the 2014 IS 350 F Sport from our test session. Click here for a closer look at the head to head comparison between the 2013 and 2013 IS 350.


The Fat Chance Yo Eddy was a departure for Fat City Cycles in 1990, with a design that used thin-wall, over-sized tubing and a fork and stay design that would accommodate the new Specialized Ground Control Extreme 2.5 tire. The frame also required an over-sized seatpost, which in the early years was provided by a Sakae TCO post in a special 29.4 mm size. Of course the grellow paint was an eye catcher and a contrast to previous production Fats that were often blue, black, or red. The grellow paint was achieved by first spraying the frame with a white under coat followed by a transparant mix of green and yellow. The result was a bright finish with something of a marble effect that is impossible to replicated with a single color. In fact, this particular bike is significant because of the pristine condition of the paint, which is unfaded and probably as bright as the day it was sprayed. The build of this bike was intended to mimic the Yo Eddy that appeared in the book Ultimate Bicycle by Ballantine and Grant. The components are first year Suntour XC Pro, with a long cage rear derailleur and full-size crankset. The hot pink cable housing is original to the bike.


The decision to put your home on the market can come with a lot of headaches and stress. Getting it over with quickly is the ideal situation, but it doesn't always happen as quickly as you would like. There are many factors included in how fast or slow a house may sell including the time of year, whether the markets are high or low, what your location is and how well what you have to offer is trending with buyers.
For home buyers, one of the things they most often say is that they want to feel an immediate connection with a home when they first look at it. The importance of being able to picture themselves actually living in the home is an important factor.
Like with anything else that you are promoting, you want to be able to put your best foot forward, and it is no different when selling a home. Take a look at our list of some of the simple but important things that you can do around your house to get it in it's best shape for viewings.
The first impression that a buyer has as they pull up to a house can have a great effect on the way they view the rest of the place. Power washing the exterior of your home and driveway is a good start. Make sure that your house numbers are well maintained and easy to see. Perform any repairs and repaint the front porch to give it a fresh look.
This may seem obvious, but a clean home can really make all the difference to buyers. Wash the floors, walls, tiles and have your carpets cleaned in the high traffic areas. Wipe down all your appliances in the kitchen and give the bathroom a good cleaning. Wash all of your windows, especially those that are facing the front of the house.
If you are getting ready to move, this is a good time to get rid of a lot of the usual clutter in your home and get a head start on packing. Clear off bookshelves at the minimum, pack up all but your favorite knick-knacks. Minimize the amount of family and personal photographs that are displayed and tidy up any files or paperwork that may be lying around. If you have a lot of stuff, investing in a temporary storage locker may be a good idea.
Prospective buyers will want to see all aspects of your home and that includes storage space. They want to see the size of closet space in each room and this means getting organized. Try to purge out non-seasonal clothes and organize the space so that it doesn't look like a disaster. There are plenty of closet organizers available at low cost that can help you keep things in order.
Even if new buyers have children of their own, they don't want to walk into a home that looks like a toy tornado has hit it. Make sure that children's rooms have been tidied and toys have been put away. Using a toy bin or storage buckets is a great way to keep the mess secure and out from under your feet.
Don't forget about the outside and backyard of your home. There is no need to do extensive grounds work, but cleaning up your garden beds and organizing your back patio area is a good idea. Keep your lawn neatly trimmed and clear away any scrub or garbage around the property.

Michael Ball was also a winner at the awards ceremony, picking up best actor in a musical for his portrayal of Edna in Hairspray
Award-winning Daniel's onscreen magic translates to stage
Having scooped awards for his portrayal of a boy wizard in the Harry Potter films, Daniel Radcliffe has worked his magic on the stage, too. On Sunday the young star picked up two gongs for his West End performance in the sexually charged drama Equus.
"I'm truly delighted and thank everyone so much for voting for me," said the 18-year-old, who was named the West End's newcomer of the year. The play, which now features Lily Allen's little brother Alfie in the lead role, also won the 'theatre event of the year' title, after publicity shots of a semi-clad Daniel posing with a white stallion and a female co-star caused a stir.
"Equus is a tremendous and thought-provoking play and I'm so proud and honoured to have been a part of this incredible production," he added.
Also scoring recognition at the Theatregoer's Choice Awards was hit musical Hairspray, which received seven gongs, including best musical. Michael Ball, who plays larger-than-life mother Edna Turnblad in the production, took home the award for best actor in a musical.
Best musical revival went to Joseph And His Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, which stars TV talent contest winner Lee Mead, while Sir Ian McKellen won best actor in a play for Shakespeare production King Lear.

Avengers: Endgame - Highest Grossing Movie of All Time
Posted On:July 21, 2019
The president of Marvel, Kevin Feige, officially announced at the studio's Comic-Con panel in San Diego, California, on Saturday that the blockbuster would knock the James Cameron-directed movie Avatar off the top spot from their $2.78bn global box office mark over the weekend, even though it was still officially $500,000 short at the time.
A $3 billion box office haul, which no other film has ever achieved, may not be out of the question as the culmination of the Marvel cinematic universe continues to draw in crowds.
Avengers: Endgame co-directors Anthony and Joe Russo took to Twitter to share their fans appreciation. "To the greatest fans in the universe, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you...," they commented.
In a statement, Alan Horn, co-chairman and chief creative officer of Marvel's parent company, The Walt Disney Studios, praised the cast and crew for their achievements. "with the passage of a decade, the impact of James Cameron's Avatar remains as powerful as ever, and the astonishing achievements of both of these films are ongoing proof of the power of movies to move people and bring them together in a shared experience. The talented filmmakers behind these worlds have much more in store, and we look forward to the future of both the Marvel Cinematic Universe and (Avatar's setting) Pandora."
Here in the UK, the film can only claim fifth place on the all-time box office chart.
Star Wars; The Force Awakens is still the country's top-earning movie, after taking £123.2m at the box office in 2015.
It is followed by two Bond movies, Skyfall and Spectre, and then Avatar, which is £3m ahead of Endgame's current tally of £91m.
Endgame is the 22nd offering in the Marvel Studios superhero franchise and the fourth in the blockbuster Avengers series.

Aug 21 2015 : The Times of India (Kolkata)
A French toast to Chandernagore
Jayanta Gupta
On August 15, 1947, when the Union Jack was replaced by the Indian Tricolour across the country , the French flag continued to flutter at this town on the banks of the Hooghly . It took five more years before the French handed over Chandernagore to India.The French legacy was carried forward by residents for several years thereafter, but it is gradually disappearing.
On Wednesday , a panel of experts, including consul general of France in Kolkata Fabrice Etienne, judged several competitions involving the youth of Chandernagore for a project aimed at keeping its rich heritage alive.
The Heritage and People of Chandernagore Project was launched at the Institut de Chandernagor (IdC). The idea was to involve locals in keeping alive facets of the past and create an interactive website along the lines of what has already been done in Chinsurah, a former Dutch colony .
"This project was initiated with the aim to spread awareness and bring recognition to this shared cultural heri tage globally. In 2011, we identified nearly 99 buildings of heritage value in Chandernagore. This phase of the project focuses on the community's perspective. Several workshops were conducted with support from Fondation VMF, a Paris based NGO, French Heritage in India Society , as well as the French Embassy in India. IdC is the collaborating partner," Aishwarya Tipnis of Aishwarya Tipnis Architects said.
"Over the summer, local youths were engaged in different competitions, like Lego competition, painting, creative writing and an inter-school quiz. Another unique competition they participated in was the creation of Franco-Bangla cuisine," she added.
Several other events were also organized at IdC, including photography and comic book workshops. The winners will be felicitated by Fondation VMF as well as the Embassy of France in India. According to Rila Mukherjee, director, IdC, the museum at the institute is also being upgraded and will help in taking forward the initiative. Cura tor Arup Ganguly is working towards getting all the records, photographs and documents digitized.
Etienne said, "These initiatives are very important for us. People should not only read about history and heritage in textbooks, but be a part of it."

Note that there is a "Type2" VFR400RG, but no "official" picture of it, though its parts are described in the Parts Catalogue (based on the descriptions of the colored parts in the Honda Parts Catalogue, it has some yellow in its fairing and white wheels).
So...what's going on with the "No." and "Type" designations? In the front of the Honda Parts Catalogues of this era are small colour pictures of the different colour schemes available for each model. These pictures are labeled "No.1", "No.2", etc. and include the paint color for that paint scheme. However, the "No." designations are not used on the parts pages within the catalogue. Parts that are painted are (usually) described using "Type" designations as well as the paint code for the colour they are painted. What is the connection between the "No." designations under the pictures and the "Types" used on the parts pages? Usually, they are the same, so paint scheme No.1 corresponds to *Type1* in the parts pages. But not always!
Interestingly, not all "Types" are used, some "Types" are used more than once (in the same catalogue) and there are paint schemes that do not have a corresponding "No." (or picture). These anomalys have been reflected in the model identification pictures on this Web site to the extent they are reflected in the Honda Parts Catalogues for each model.


The last large-scale exercise in HAZARD project was arranged 28th of November at the Port of Turku in Finland. Altogether 10 large-scale exercises have been arranged during the project in the partner seaports in Turku (FI), Naantali (FI), Klaipeda (LT) and Hamburg (DE), which are also part of the TEN-T Core Network Corridors. The aim of the exercises is to enhance preparedness and co-operation between authorities to mitigate the effect of emergencies in BSR seaports.
Southwest Finland Emergency Services was responsible for the planning and execution of the exercise. In the scenario a leak was detected in a container storing hazardous material. While checking the leak the fire fighters found in one of the containers around 25 persons, who didn't speak Finnish. Were they victims of human trafficking or asylum seekers who had illegally entered the country? The persons were contained with the hazardous material, ammonia, and they had to be decontaminated before further actions.
Many different authorities are needed in a real incident like this. That is why the co-operation and communication between authorities plays such an important role and has been one of the key elements in the project. The participating organisations in this exercise were the Southwest Finland Emergency Services, Emergency Medical Services/Hospital District of Southwest Finland, Southwestern Finland Police Department, the Finnish Border Guard and the Port of Turku.
While checking the leak the fire fighters found around 25 persons in one of the containers. They didn't speak Finnish.
The persons were contaminated and had respiratory symptoms.
The chemical response units started to prepare a heated shelter for decontamination.
Some persons were badly injured.
The Emergency Medical Service were called to help with the patients.
There was a bit of a panic and one person fell into the sea.
The rescue divers are preparing for an underwater rescue mission.
RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft System) was used to create the situational awareness.
After the people were evacuated, the leak could be sealed. Because of ammonia, a cold protection suit has to be worn to protect the gas tight suit underneath it.
Packing up after the exercise.
The temperature was -5 degrees C, so hot soup was extra tasty after the exercise.
The last part of the exercise was a rehearsal press conference, here the leading officers answered to numerous guestions in three languages.
The conference room was packed with interested "media" representatives.

Q: How to use transform in paginated collection in laravel I want to use map or transform in paginated collection in laravel 5.5 but I am struggling it work
This is what I was trying to do but getCollection is not available in LengthAwarePaginator as what we used to do in previous laravel versions see: How to transform paginated collection
 $query = User::filter($request->all()
        ->with('applications');

    $users = $query->paginate(config('app.defaults.pageSize'))
        ->transform(function ($user, $key) {
            $user['picture'] = $user->avatar;

            return $user;
        });

This is what I receive but there is no pagination details in my result

How can I return transformed collection with pagination details?

A: I have ended up building custom paginate function in AppServiceProvider
use Illuminate\Support\Collection;
In register of AppServiceProvider
 Collection::macro('paginate', function ($perPage, $total = null, $page = null, $pageName = 'page') {
        $page = $page ?: \Illuminate\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator::resolveCurrentPage($pageName);
        return new \Illuminate\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator(
            $this->forPage($page, $perPage),
            $total ?: $this->count(),
            $perPage,
            $page,
            [
                'path' => \Illuminate\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator::resolveCurrentPath(),
                'pageName' => $pageName,
            ]
        );
    });

A: You should paginate before retrieving the collection and transforming as follows:
$query = User::filter($request->all())->with('applications')->paginate(50);

$users = $query->getCollection()->transform(function ($user, $key) {
    //your code here
});

dd($users);

It should give you your desired result.

A: For Laraval >= 8.x: if you want to perform the transform() on the collection of the paginated query builder result instead of doing the pagination on the full collection, one can use the method through():
User::filter($request->all()
   ->with('applications')
   ->paginate(config('app.defaults.pageSize'))
   // through() will call transform() on the $items in the pagination object
   ->through(function ($user, $key) {
      $user['picture'] = $user->avatar;

      return $user;
   });

A: Your problem is that you are printing the $users variable that hold the array of the users in the current page. To get the paginated list try to return/print $query instead.
So your code should be as following:
    $query = User::filter($request->all()
            ->with('applications');

        $users = $query->paginate(config('app.defaults.pageSize'))
            ->transform(function ($user, $key) {
                $user['picture'] = $user->avatar;

                return $user;
            });
return response()->json($query);

Happy Coding!

A: You can use method setCollection from Paginator class:
https://laravel.com/api/8.x/Illuminate/Pagination/Paginator.html#method_setCollection
$messages = $chat->messages()->paginate(15);

$messages->setCollection($messages->getCollection()->transform(function($item){
  $item->created = $item->created_at->formatLocalized('%d %B %Y %H:%M');
  return $item;
}));

MELAKA INTERNATIONAL CRUISE TERMINAL READY BY 2017
No Comments on MELAKA INTERNATIONAL CRUISE TERMINAL READY BY 2017
MALACCA: The construction of the Malacca International Cruise Terminal, part of the Melaka Gateway project, will kick off in three months and is expected for completion in 2017.
Malacca Transport, Project Rehabilitation and International Trade committee chairman, Datuk Lim Ban Hong, said the terminal would be able to accommodate four large cruise ships simultaneously.
"We are targeting 250 cruise ships to dock at the terminal per year by 2020 and bring in a strong economic impact to the state," he told reporters in Malacca on Thursday.
He said this after a visit to the terminal construction site with KAJ Development Sdn Bhd chief executive officer, Datuk Michelle Ong and Luis Ajamil from project consultant, The Royal Carribean.
The RM40bil Melaka Gateway, near Pulau Melaka, is developed by KAJ Development and is the largest man-made island project in South-East Asia.
Among the planned facilities are a marina for yachts, luxury condominiums, bungalows with private marina, tourist eco-parks, theme parks and ports for cruise ships.
"Most tourists travel by land, but with the Melaka Gateway, we will be able to attract more tourists via the sea. This is part of the state's Transport Development Master Plan," Lim said.
Meanwhile, Ajamil said Melaka Gateway was the third entity that the Royal Caribbean had collaborated with for jetty construction and development project after Miami and New York in the United States.
"Normally, research on waves, ocean depth, soil conditions and waves flows takes four years but Malacca Gateway only took about two years from 2014," he said. – Bernama

MELAKA GATEWAY LAUNCHED AT PULAU MELAKA
RM40b Malacca Gateway to open doors in 2018
Posted on 7 February 2014 – 05:41am
Eva Yeong
MALACCA (Feb 7, 2014): The RM40 billion project in Malacca known as Melaka Gateway which will be launched by the prime minister today will open its doors to visitors in 2018.
The 609-acre project which is being developed by KAJ Development Sdn Bhd (KAJD) will see the first phase attracting some 900,000 visitors during the first year of operations, said KAJD CEO Datuk Michelle Ong.
"We expect to have 900,000 visitors in the first year including international cruise passengers," she told reporters at a briefing here yesterday.
Ong said the first phase, which will be built on Pulau Melaka, will include Malaysia Eye, two hotels, several resorts, a heritage walk, a fashion district and a marina terminal.
"We have already started work on Malaysia Eye and it will be erected in six months' time," she added.
According to Ong, the company obtained the concession for the project in September 2010 and received all approvals for the project in September last year.
KAJD will be the master developer of the project and it is currently in negotiations with various potential partners and investors for the project.
Ong said it is talking to at least five international brands and will be announcing some of its partners at the launch ceremony today.
Melaka Gateway is a project with 12 precincts including residential, commercial, cultural, entertainment and lifestyle elements. It is scheduled for completion by 2025.
The 12 precincts are Gateway Entertainment Precinct, Melaka Marina Cruise Centre, Melaka Historical Walk, Gateway Maritime Arena Beacon, Branded Fashion District, International Theme Park, Melaka Cultural Walk, Waterfront Marina Villas Resorts, Gateway Wellness Lifestyle Precinct, Melaka Skyline Apartments, Lohas Park Residences and Eco Isle Resorts.
Its marina terminal will be the largest in Asia, tapping into the growing number of cruise ships plying the route which currently do not stop at Malacca due to lack of facilities.
KAJD chief operations officer Gavin Lau said the marina terminal alone will cost some RM600 million.
"It will be able to handle three cruise ships at the same time," he said.
Lau said funding for the project will be a combination of internal funds, partnerships and bank borrowings.
He said some of the land, especially the residential portions, may be sold to other property developers while some parts of the project will be jointly developed with other partners and investors.
"There are 12 zones in total and there will be a lot of international operators. Some of the properties will be developed by other developers, some on our own and some with partners," he added.
KAJD which is predominantly a construction company, currently manages Malacca Zoo and Bird Park. It was also the company that undertook the revamp of Malacca River.

MALAYSIA EYE TO BE BUILT IN MELAKA

New giant ferris wheel for Malacca
MALACCA: Malacca will get a new giant ferris wheel from China to replace the previous structure that was shut down and removed two years ago after a 10-month legal tussle.
Dubbed the Malaysia Eye, the new 88m-tall giant ferris wheel from China will be built at Pulau Melaka by a local company. It is expected to be operational by June 1.
The previous 62m-tall Eye On Malaysia ferris wheel, a joint venture between MST Ad Suria Sdn Bhd and state-owned Eye On Malaysia Sdn Bhd, ceased operations in 2010 after Belgian owner Fitraco MV took possession of the wheel on Jan 7 that year over an RM18mil debt by MST Ad Suria.
The wheel was removed by Fitraco in October the same year.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam said the new structure would be shipped to Malacca by the end of this month and piling work at the man-made island would start next week.
"We are hopeful that the ferris wheel would be operational by June 1, in time for the school holidays," he told reporters after presenting the special government school aid to 255 pupils at SK Datuk Demang Hussin in Bukit Katil here on Wednesday evening.
Mohd Ali said the state government was not involved in the RM40mil project, to be carried out by KAJ Development Sdn Bhd.
"The giant structure will be inistalled on a 0.8ha site, which will also be acquired by the company," he said.
Mohd Ali said that with a new and taller ferris wheel, Pulau Melaka would be developed further with attractions.
Asked about the quality of the China-made ferris wheel, he said: "Not all products from China are of low quality.
"This time we will make sure what we get is of good quality and safe for public use."
The state government, in recent years, had been criticised for acquiring China-made coaches for its Malacca river monorail system, stretching 1.6km from Taman Rempah in Pengkalan Rama to Kampung Bunga Raya Pantai.
Hours after it was opened to the public on Oct 21, 2010, the monorail ground to a halt, stranding 20 passengers.
There has since been a series of test runs and rectifications, besides plans to extend the line.

Wonder what a "Justice League Lite" would be like?
I don't think OP has a problem with the title of the comic. He has a problem with he fact that in universe their team is called Justice League Dark. And that's dumb.
Wait, that name is in-universe?
Christ, I assumed they had no real team name and that was just the comic's title.
They should have called the book Justice League Shadowpact and then simply refer to them as Shadowpact inside if they wanted to give them a team name.
Doesn't it already exist with howling commandos?
Yes. It is asinine. But that's branding for you. Marvel did the exact same thing when the Thunderbolts became Dark Avengers.
And in a sane world Ewing's Might Avengers could have been called what it was: Heroes for Hire.
Remember when Marvel renamed all their teams to "Avengers" and they sold like hotcakes. That's what DC was trying to do.
Theres nothing wrong with the title. You are just an autist.
There's The Avengers of the Supernatural.
Of course, that was a tongue-in-cheek joke about every team being Avengers something.
