My name is Rachel Matkin and I had some things stolen from my car last Monday night ( September 17th) from the Springhill Suites hotel in Terre Haute, Indiana.
I immediately talked to the lady at the hotel and she called the police. I talked to an officer on the phone that morning (5:30 a.m. Tuesday) to file a report. I then called the hotel that afternoon (2ish...and the new lady knew nothing about it). I called the police station again who also knew nothing about it, but did find where I had called. I then waited until around 5 p.m. when the same staff (two "kids"...Calvin and Dee) were there from the night before so I could talk to them. I talked to Calvin, who said he knew nothing about it.
I know that this is car theft and it's not that important. It probably happens all the time, and I am a stupid lady for leaving the stuff on the trailer on my car. But I was SO tired.
I was driving from Texas to Michigan after a morning of court to get temporary custody of my granddaughter so that she could move with me to Michigan. It was 10:30 p.m. and I asked the two kids at the front desk if my car would be safe and where I should park it. They told me on the side, so I backed in on the right side of the building where the trailer (small hitch trailer) could not be seen (by anyone). I woke up at 5:30 a.m. to check on it, and it was gone.
Stupid me, I know. However, the stuff that was stolen is very important to me. You see, my 16- year- old daughter died almost five months ago in a car crash and some of the things in those tubs were hers. When I was packing for my move I did not plan on having my granddaughter with me. So I had my dad put a small trailer hitch on the back of my car. But then we got confused on the packing. We did not realize that some of the plastic containers that we put on the back were my daughters things and priceless to me.
There were photo albums and DVDs. My computer was in there, which has years of pictures and videos of my daughter. Another is a small blue/gray lock box that had her birth certificate, and death certificate, and a bracelet made with the flowers from her funeral. There were four plastic tubs in all. Two tan and two a pinkish/ purple. I had hoped and prayed that once they realized the boxes mostly had scrapbooks and craft things they may throw the tubs out on the side of the road or something.
Or maybe the kids at the front desk of the hotel knew something. But it doesn't seem like anyone has even tried. I'm sorry. I'm a hot mess. I know that it is just "things" but it's priceless to me, and pictures and memories are all that I have left of her. I don't know what you could do except maybe put something on Facebook to let people be aware and to be looking for my things. Maybe if people shared it on Facebook something would come up. I don't know. I'm probably just grasping at straws.

Lower back pain can be crippling and seriously effect the quality of your day-to-day life. Eight out of ten Americans will face the condition at some point during their lives. While lower back pain is more common in adult women, everybody can suffer from it.
The majority of lower back pain sufferers rely on nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to find relief. These commonly used pain relievers, however, come with a host of side-effects. While they might be effective in temporarily relieving pain, they may raise the risk of heart failure by nearly 20 percent.
Luckily, there are many natural treatments available, and yoga stretches are one of best. Organic Authority recommends following four yoga poses to help relieve lower back pain and find ease in your daily movements.
The Box on the Wall pose is a variation of Downward Facing Dog which places less pressure on the hands and arms. This is an excellent pose to stretch your hamstrings and spine while improving lower back mobility and easing pain.
To get into the pose, place your hands shoulder-width apart at hip height. While pushing both hands firmly into the wall, walk your feet back until your heels are right under your sitting bones. Straighten your legs while pushing into the wall with both hands. Engage your quads and adjust your sitting bones to create a natural curve in your lower spine. If this is too hard for you, then keep a slight bend in your knees.
This is a relaxed pose to stretch your hamstrings. What do your hamstrings have to do with lower back pain you might ask? Tight or shortened hamstrings pull on the lower back, creating tension and pain. While the pose is called hand-to-big-toe, if you are not that flexible, a yoga belt or other strap will be necessary to execute this pose.
Lie on your back with your legs flat on the ground, big toes pointing to the ceiling. Place a yoga belt around the bottom of one foot (or grab your big toe) and extend that leg, trying to get it at an angle of 90°. Engage both of your quadriceps and keep both feet flexed. If you can keep your leg straight and engaged, then gently pull it towards your chest. Do not overstretch. Repeat the exercise, bringing the other leg up.
This pose is good for the lower back since it stretches the hip flexors, quadriceps, and chest, which can all cause pain in the lower back.
For this pose, you will need a yoga block. Lie on your back and bend your knees. Set both feet on the ground, hip-width apart, with your heels as close as possible to the sitting bones. Press your feet into the floor and lift your tailbone upward. Carefully place a yoga block under your sacrum, which is right at the base of your spine. If you want to intensify the stretch in your chest and shoulders, interlace your fingers behind the block and extend your arms to the floor. Keep your feet in line with your knees.
If you are looking for a way to revive the whole spine, twists are what you need. This pose will be extremely beneficial after doing a backbend like the supported Bridge Pose. Furthermore, twists create more space between the vertebrae. This will help you to take pressure off the lower back and increase mobility in the entire spine.
Sit on the floor, use a blanket for support if necessary. Extend your left leg while bending your right knee and placing your right foot over the extended leg. Your right knee should be pointing towards the ceiling. Place your right hand behind your body while crossing your left arm over your right knee. Twist toward the right side. On every exhale, lift your chest and go a little bit deeper into the twist. Repeat on the other side.

The Info List - Pattani
Pattani (Thai: ปัตตานี, pronounced [pàt.tāː.nīː]) is one of the southern provinces (changwat) of Thailand. Neighboring provinces are (from southeast clockwise) Narathiwat, Yala, and Songkhla.

5.1 Military rule
6.1 Air 6.2 Rail

History[edit] The name Pattani is the Thai adaptation of the Malay name Patani (Jawi: ڤتاني), which can mean "this beach" in Patani
Patani Malay language. (In standard Malay, this would be pantai ini.) Another suggestion is that it derives from a Sanskrit word pathini, meaning "virgin nymph"; Pathini was the name of a daughter of Merong Mahawangsa, founder of the preceding Langkasuka Empire.[1] Historically, Pattani Province
Pattani Province was the centre of the Malay Sultanate of Patani
Patani Darul Makrif. For centuries a tributary state of Siam, Pattani has been governed by Siam since its conquest in 1785. Siamese rule was officially acknowledged by the Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909 negotiated with the British Empire. Both Yala (Jala) and Narathiwat (Menara) were originally part of Patani, but were made provinces of their own during the territorial administrative reform and the creation of a united centralized Siam state.[citation needed] Demographics[edit] Pattani is one of the four provinces of Thailand
Thailand where the majority of the population are Malay Muslim. They make up about 88 percent of its population. The people speak the Patani
Patani Malay language, although most also speak Thai. The Pattani Malays are similar in ethnicity and culture to the Malays of Kelantan, Malaysia. Geography[edit] Pattani is on the Malay Peninsula, with the coast of the Gulf of Thailand
Thailand to the north. The south is dominated by the Sankalakhiri mountain range, which includes Budo-Su-ngai Padi National Park, on the border with Yala and Narathiwat. Symbols[edit] The seal of the province shows the cannon called Phraya Tani, known as Sri Pattani in Malay, which was cast in Pattani Province. It was brought to Bangkok
Bangkok in 1785, and is now on display in front of the Ministry of Defence in Bangkok.[citation needed] The provincial flower is the Chinese hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis), and the provincial tree the Ironwood
Ironwood (Hopea odorata).[citation needed] Administrative divisions[edit] Pattani is divided into 12 districts (amphoe), which are further subdivided into 115 communes (tambon) and 629 villages (muban).[citation needed] The districts of Chana (Malay: Chenok), Thepa (Malay:Tiba) and Saba Yoi (Malay:Sebayu) were detached from Pattani and transferred to Songkhla in 1796 by Siam government.[citation needed]

Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) can result in curfews, prohibited entry, or prohibited transport of goods. It is considered one step below the imposition of full martial law.[2] Transport[edit] Air[edit] Pattani Airport
Pattani Airport is serve by Pattani Airport
Pattani Airport but the airport is not allow for public flight due to the Royal Thai Air Force supporting counter-insurgency operations. Rail[edit] Pattani has main station is Pattani Railway Station. See also[edit]

I'm a woman of few words…I am a listener. But don't get me wrong, I'm also a conversation instigator so that I can listen. I'll inject a few words (some wise, some witty) as needed but often let those around me talk. That all changed during #BlogTourNYC. I don't know what kind of spell Veronika Miller put on me, but by the time we got to our first tour stop, I had an insatiable excitement for all the pending opportunities I was about to experience. I immediately felt comfortable with my fellow bloggers and knew from our first introductory hug that this was going to be an exceptional group of people experiencing something really special together. Veronika and her daughter Florence were geniuses at putting this group of bloggers together! Someone described the week as being like summer camp. We were strangers who became friends in less than a week and when over, it was an emotional time (at least for me…as Veronika can attest to my watery eyes during our last meal together). The blog tour gang. Photo credit: Debrorah Main I went on a photo-snapping frenzy during the tour with my iPhone and Nikon and wished I had taken a course on photography ahead of time! These pictures are candid, lightly-edited shots which will make my photographer friends cringe, but I promise to inject professional photos provided by our generous sponsors of their beautiful products when I gush about them in other posts.
My excitement started now. My private slice of heaven at the award winning Sanctuary Hotel. The hotel hallway. Isn't it gorgeous? Mosaic city. The view from my window. Our first night of breaking bread together. Here, there and everywhere. Veronika Miller (the blonde beauty) and her sweet, talented daughters, who I called "kiddo" and "darling". Hey, I missed my kids. Too much of this…but it's always 11 o'clock somewhere. My take-home stash of cards, menus and sponsor literature. I promise this is organized chaos!
I was honoured to learn from the some of the best. Please, take a look at their incredible work: William (photographer) and Susan (art director and stylist) House of Brinson, Raina Kattleson (stylist) A Stylist's Life, Michele Scotto (photographer) Sequined Asphault, Jim Caughman (creative director at McGuire) McGuire, Tess Casey (set and event florist) Aisling Flowers, Neal Beckstedt (architect and Interior Designer) Neal Beckstedt Studio, Bunny Williams (interior designer, author, bespoke store owner) Bunny Williams, and last but not least, our workshop hosts Tina Ramchandani and Sarah Sarna (Interior Designers) Franklin Eighth, Megan Reilly and Troy Hanson (co-founders and show producers) West Edge Design Fair.

Ooi says the ultimate goal is to have a cost-effective and sensible solution, both technically and financially.
MALAYSIAN businesses need to know how green IT management can help with their bottom-line while improving sustainable practices and reducing carbon footprints.
With increasing international and Government pressures for businesses to operate sustainably, Malaysia's small to medium enterprises (SMEs) will have to face the increasingly urgent question of how to be sustainable without busting their budgets.
One avenue is to reduce consumption through effective re-use and recycling of IT equipment effectively, said Rentwise chief executive officer Leanne Ooi, at the Green IT Saves Money seminar held at Connexion@Nexus, Bangsar South.
"IT departments can contribute very positively to sustainable efforts without asking for more budgets," said Ooi.
Having a good Green IT policy means making IT life cycles more sustainable, ensuring companies can meet strict environmental standards when retiring and disposing of equipment while maximising equipment recovery values and resolving data security concerns.
"The ultimate goal is to have a cost-effective and sensible solution both technically and financially as it reduces unnecessary expenditure and lowers the carbon footprint of the organisation," said Ooi.
The Government has continued to strengthen and expand regulations on sustainability in order to meet its commitment to reduce carbon emissions intensity per GDP by 40% by 2020 compared to 2005 levels.
Rentwise's Green IT Saves Money seminar is contributing to those efforts.
"Our intention is to enhance awareness on good IT management practices in general with a lens on sustainability," said Ooi.
Rentwise hopes to raise awareness on Malaysia's current sustainability policies, programmes and green incentives as well as highlights sustainable avenues for maximising company IT budgets.
"SMEs need to know how IT management makes a big difference towards reducing their carbon footprint and the types of sustainable options available for them meet sustainability obligations," she added.
"Companies working towards Green IT should make sustainability a daily practice which firstly begins by understanding your electricity consumption and measuring your carbon footprint based on your consumption," said green specialist Ismail Abdullah.
Ismail shared his long experience from national and state projects like the Malaysia Green Technology Road Map, National Energy Efficiency Master Plan and the Malacca Green City State 2020 Blueprint at the seminar.
"By making conscious effort to conserve energy usage and reduce CO2 emissions through simple steps like choosing to use energy-efficient equipment and supporting green procurement, this will create sustainability in energy consumption for the future," he added.

When it comes to lifestyle and eating choices, it is important to bring your Whole Self along for the journey. Part of the reason so many programs and therapies fail is because they don't address the "why" about eating and only talk about the "what". If it was only about the "what" though, most of us wouldn't have any problems associated with eating and lifestyle! Why do we so often make choices that go against our best interests? This is why I incorporate both my counseling degree and my nutrition degree.
My counseling philosophy boils down to "Now What"... This means that we dig into how you got to my office so we can understand the historical trajectory, but we don't dwell there any longer than we need to in order to move forward with different tools and habits. Once we know the information, what do you want to change? Now What? Let's focus on moving forward and becoming the vital healthy vibrant person you deserve to be.
Because quality is so vital when it comes to nutritional and herbal supplements and I want my clients to have access to the best options I can find without breaking the bank, I have arranged for you to get direct access to a distributor and receive 20% off retail pricing. You will be given a personal account with your protocol. It is never required to purchase supplements this way, merely offered as a convenience. You are welcome to shop around and find the best deals, but are encouraged not to change brands, items, or doses without consulting with me first.

I didn't know yet what to do.
Out of my head, out of control.
That's when the devil got my soul.
Seems my old lady's crazy too.
We got so much hate that our love grew.
Trouble is never hard to find.
Drinkin' my way from place to place.
Having a coke without the smile.
Counting the broken-up floor tiles.
Taking a pill for everything.
Give me the will to spread my wings.
Riding the horse from town to town.
That was the force that kept me down.
They know I love them both so much.
But I know she did the best she could.
Try to keep money off my mind.
But I got the beast and it's got me.


Since the mid-March update, my laptop gets stuck at "PrePreparing to configure Windows/Do not turn off computer" when I shutdown Windows. Now when trying to update my computer, it gets stuck looking for updates forever. I tried to restore to the previous restore point, but the process timed out. I don't recall the error message.
1. sfc /scannow times out with "Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service."
2. SFCFix.exe did not find any errors. I'm attaching the log file.
3. I tried "DSIM /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth" and it exits with an error. I'm attaching the DSIM.log file.
4. I'm also attaching the CBS.log file.
Please let me know if/how I can resolve my issue. Thank you in advance for your help.
GSmartControl Extended Self-test result is "Completed without error". I'm not sure why it shows Lifetime hours of 27, because I have had this laptop for about 2 years.
The Attribute tab shows "never" failed for each ID.
Can you screenshot the Attributes tab for me?
Okay, please retry the update and when it fails, attach C:\Windows\Inf\setupapi.dev.log.
I need CBS.log after the failure as well.
Here's the CBS.log. Please note that after initiating shutdown, the computer was frozen at the "do not turn off" message. I had to force a power-down by holding down the power button.
Please don't do that. I need to see what happens recorded in the log. If you interrupt it, it becomes useless to me.
I have left it on for over 12 hours before and it continued to display that message without doing anything. This time I left it on for about 20 minutes. The drive activity light stopped flashing about 2 minutes after the shutdown command. Other symptoms are: when I let the computer search for updates, more than 12 hours pass without it finding anything.
Run SFC Scan and attach CBS.log after it reports the error.
It exits with an error and it does not look like the CBS.log file is updated. I'm attaching the sfc screen and the CBS.log. Thanks.


Career transition can be among the most stressful times in an individual's life, and it's when most people go looking for self-knowledge. Marlowe Embree, Ph.D.,a career management consultant, is guest editor for this issue. He takes the SP, NP, FJ, and TJ style, and describes their strengths and pitfalls during the job search. The advice is specific and clear and is a must-read before setting off on a job search.

Q: Calling multiple batch jobs from one scheduled class method I was wondering if it's a good idea or even possible to call multiple batch jobs from one scheduled class. Every year at the beginning of the year we want to create records for each sales rep for each month based on the ForecastingQuotas we create at the beginning of the year. Every rep gets 12 quotas made (1 for each month), and then I want to run a batch job to query these quotas and create a record for each rep for each month containing that quota information. The issue is the amount of reps/quotas are always changing, so 1 batch could contain quotas for every rep for January, as well as a few quotas for every rep for February. I'd like to simplify the code so each batch job only deals with 1 month. We don't have 200+ sales reps so each batch would only run once, but we want this to be scalable for the future.
I was thinking instead of writing the code to be able to handle multiple months in the batch class, I'd run 12 queries from the scheduled class (1 for each month) and send each list to a separate instance of the batch class to only be coded to work for one month.
So I'd loop through an integer 12 times and call the batch class, passing the integer to each instance of the class. In the class, I'd only query the quotas where CALENDAR_MONTH(StartDate) = integer, so each instance would only pull back quotas for this month. I know this kind of breaks the rule of "never put a query in a for loop", but in this case it iterates only 12 times and each query is part of a batch class.
Would this work, or would I be better off writing logic to handle multiple months and just call 1 instance of the batch class?
Thanks!

A: You can't call Database.executeBatch that many times, so you'd end up having to schedule 12 copies of your class (or 12 different classes) for your scheduleable methods, on top of the 12 batch classes. Instead, perhaps you could make your batch size 1, and pass in the calendar month for each:
public class BuildQuotas implements Database.Batchable<Integer>, Schedulable {
  public void execute(ScheduableContext context) {
    Database.executeBatch(this, 1); // One month per execute
  }
  public Integer[] start(Database.BatchableContext context) {
    return new Integer[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 };
  }
  public void execute(Database.BatchableContext context, Integer[] scope) {
    Integer calendarMonth = scope[0];
    // Do your work here
  }
  public void finish(Database.BatchableContext context) {
  }
}


Calling Croatia a hotspot is somewhat old news in travel circles – its popularity is firmly established among European travellers and steeply on the rise among Americans as well. But many travellers are only seeing one sunny slice of the country, lured to the nearly 2000km-long coastline meanwhile missing the diverse charms of the inland cities, national parks and countryside. Zagreb, soon to be the EU's newest capital city, is a hip city with walkable streets and a café scene so ingrained that some refer to the city as one large outdoor café. Surpassing even the notable beauty of the coast, Plitvice Lakes National Park is a nature-lover's paradise with ribbons of bright turquoise lakes and waterfalls set against a backdrop of karst cliffs and mossy travertine. Back on the coast, historic Dubrovnik will delight visitors even if they don't know that they're standing in King's Landing from the popular Game of Thrones television show. To experience Zagreb like a local, don't miss Saturday morning špica, the coffee-drinking and people watching ritual that is the peak of the weekly social calendar. – wrote the Lonely Planet, who also included Budapest, Northern Iceland, Porto, Cinque Terre, Marseille, Northern Ireland, Bern and Copenhagen in its top 10.


So much for being able to flip the switch come playoff time.
Vegas coach Gerard Gallant said he wasn't concerned about his team's poor finish to the regular season that saw the Golden Knights win just one of their final eight games. But a sloppy 5-2 loss at San Jose in Game 1 in their best-of-seven series on Wednesday night was eerily similar to some of the losses his team took down the stretch.
Goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury gave up at least four goals for the third straight game since returning from a nine-game break for a lower-body injury. Vegas managed just five shots in each of the first two periods while falling behind 4-1, as San Jose took advantage of a 7-1 edge in takeaways during that span, including two in the Golden Knights' zone that led directly to goals.
Now Vegas — which defeated the Sharks, 4-2, in a second-round series last season en route to the Western Conference championship and a berth in the Stanley Cup Final — will try to gain a split of its trip to San Jose when it takes the ice for Game 2 on Friday night.
Gallant didn't mince words following his team's Game 1 loss.
Brent Burns, Evander Kane, Tomas Hertl and Marc-Edouard Vlasic each had goal and an assist, Erik Karlsson added two assists and Jones finished with 24 saves to lead San Jose in the series opener. But it was the Sharks' first goal, by captain Joe Pavelski in the first period, that was the talk afterward.
Pavelski redirected a blast by Burns from the right point with his face, and the puck caromed in over the shoulder of Fleury. Dazed and missing several teeth, he didn't take part in the goal celebration, instead heading straight to the locker room for stitches and a new face shield while also undergoing concussion protocol. He returned early in the second period and only missed a few shifts in the process.
"I didn't even see it come off his stick," Pavelski said of Burns' shot.
Pavelski skipped the team's workout on Thursday to have some dental work done. The good news? The shot didn't break his jaw.
San Jose improved to 33-0 this season when holding a team to two goals or less.
The Knights could add some help at some point in the form of reigning KHL MVP and scoring leader Nikita Gusev, a left winger who has never played in the NHL but is finished with his season in Russia with SKA St. Petersburg.

Q: How to use custom colorscheme with `\tdplotsphericalsurfaceplot` from `tikz-3dplot` As the title suggest I am trying to use a different color scheme than is currently the default in the tikz-3dplot package for the \tdplotsphericalsurfaceplot command if one uses the option parametricfill.
Here is a MWE with two colors that I would like to have instead of the once used right now. Why two colors? Because I use a colorfunction that simply devides my parameter space into two regions: colorFunc(\t)=ifthenelse(\t<pi/2,0,1);
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{tikz,tikz-3dplot}

\definecolor{color1}{RGB}{ 86, 180, 233} % Skyblue
\definecolor{color2}{RGB}{230, 159,   0} % Orange

\begin{document}

\tdplotsetmaincoords{70}{135}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=1,line join=bevel,tdplot_main_coords,
        fill opacity=1,
        declare function={ colorFunc(\t)=ifthenelse(\t<pi/2,0,1);}]
    \pgfsetlinewidth{.1pt}
    \tdplotsphericalsurfaceplot[parametricfill]{64}{32}%
            {1.3*(1/8*sqrt(5/pi)*(1+3*cos(2*\tdplottheta)))}%
            {black}%
            {colorFunc(\tdplottheta*2)}%
        {\draw[color=black,thick,->] (0,0,0) -- (1,0,0) node[anchor=north east]{$x$};}%
        {\draw[color=black,thick,->] (0,0,0) -- (0,1,0) node[anchor=north west]{$y$};}%
        {\draw[color=black,thick,->] (0,0,0) -- (0,0,1) node[anchor=south]{$z$};}%
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

Note: Maybe it is possible to somehow compute the color-coordinates of my two colors and set them in my colorFunc. However, it seems that the plotrange is rescaled, so no matter which values I enter into my colorFunc the resulting plot is always the same, i.e. colorFunc(\t)=ifthenelse(\t<pi/2,0,pi*2/3); yields the same plot.

A: It seems like you are already able to customize the color. I am not quiet sure what is your problem. So I would just explain everything.
What is the 6th argument of \tdplotsphericalsurfaceplot?
(I am talking about the blank you filled by colorFunc(\tdplottheta*2))
This blank allows you to fill in a math expression which is based on \tdplotr, \tdplottheta, and \tdplotphi, and returns a real number. Intuitively, if your expression returns 60, than the color HSB(60,1,1) is used, which is the pure yellow. Similarly if your expression returns 300, it is HSB(300,1,1) the purple.
Technically, your expression is put into

\pgfmathsetmacro{\colorarg}{#5}

(it is #5 but not #6 because of, well, we would see it later)
Therefor you can write everything accepted by PGF-math engine. In the most extreme case, you can pass random(0,360).

Why do I get two colors even if my expression returns a constant?
Things get weird if the plot contains negative radius. In your case, cos is sometimes as negative as -1, producing the doughnut part of the plot. In the following figure, I wrote 3 as the expression. So normally it should be HSB(3,0,0), a reddish color. But how is the doughnut now cyanish?

The answer is that tikz-3dplot assumes users use \tdplotphi as the expression. Since the point (-r,θ,φ) coincides with the point (r,θ+180,-φ), tikz-3dplot adds 180 to your expression whenever it comes to the case of negative radius.
To get over this, make sure your plot is always of positive radius, or make sure that your expression satisfies

func(-r,θ,φ) = func(r,θ+180,-φ)+180   (mod 360)

For instance func(-r,θ,φ) = 5θ + φ^2/90
I want full access of color
Redefine \tdplotdosurfaceplot. This command is used to draw single pieces of rectangles. (And its 5th argument is \tdplotsphericalsurfaceplot's 6th argument.) Thus it is a bit long and contains ugly details. So please focus on the \ifthenelse{\equal{#6}{parametricfill}} part

\renewcommand\tdplotdosurfaceplot[6]{
    \pgfmathsetmacro{\nextphi}{\curphi + \tdplotsuperfudge*\viewphistep}

The area of the district is . Its administrative center is the town of Belebey (which is not administratively a part of the district). As of the 2010 Census, the total population of the district was 41,708.

History
The district was established in 1930.

Administrative and municipal status
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Belebeyevsky District is one of the fifty-four in the Republic of Bashkortostan. It is divided into one settlement council (with the administrative center in the work settlement of Priyutovo) and fifteen selsoviets, which comprise eighty-eight rural localities. The town of Belebey serves as the administrative center of the district, despite being incorporated separately as a town of republic significance—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.

As a municipal division, the district is incorporated as Belebeyevsky Municipal District, with the town of republic significance of Belebey being incorporated within it as Belebey Urban Settlement. The settlement council is also incorporated as an urban settlement, and the fifteen selsoviets are incorporated as fifteen rural settlements within the municipal district.

Q: iPhone Crash Log: how to figure out what is wrong I'm not a developper, but a user of an iPhone (3GS, iOS 4.1, Jailbroken) which started to crash randomly last week on several app. If I'm right, it crashes randomly when I tap on the keyboard (texting, sending an email, search on Google...), so that's why the crash happens on several app I guess.
By crashing I mean:
- Either, the app close itself (Safari.app, Mail.app...)
- Or, the SpringBoard crash and the iPhone go on SafeMode
What I did before it started to crash:
- Weeks ago, I installed a Cydia Tweak to setup a Frecnh Keyboard, tweak I uninstalled after it started to crash, thinking it was because of it, but apparently it wasn't
- I installed a .deb manually with Cydia, everything went well
- I modified the /dpkg/status file in order to prevent Cydia from asking me for an app update, everything went well too (besides some description line which I had to delete)
Here are 2 Crash Log:
http://pastie.org/private/nuncku1absv3frk5f4tva
http://pastie.org/private/1lc9lfbhdagkynhsmwm6w
=> They talk about UIKit, does anybody know what is wrong and what should I do to fix the crash? I tried to look for on Google, bu I didn't find anything unfortunately...
Thank you very much for your help!
Thomas

A: Correct answer:
Get the package "Crashreporter" from Cydia (BigBoss Repo).
For Springboard crashes, you can ignore the warning at first start.
Select the most recent crashlog, wait a moment for the analysis.
The most likely suspect for the crash will be displayed first.
Get rid of that package, and retry.


1.	Does Government of India permit to grow Sandalwood Trees in patta land?
The Indian government has amended Forest Act, Sandalwood Act in August 2001 and Tamil Nadu Govt. have released a G.O "The Tamilnadu Sandalwood on Patta Land Rules 2008 " (G.O.Ms.No.140 Environment and Forest (FR4), 27November 2008.) wherein the owner of land shall be the absolute owner of sandalwood as per the Amended Act.
2.	Whether it is legal to grow/sell Sandalwood?
Sandalwood trees were the property of the Government for years, but now the Government has changed the rules. If you want to clarify about Sandalwood trees you can have a clarification with near by forest department.
3.	We heard mostly Sandalwood trees are harvested around 20-30years how it is possible to harvest in 16 years ?
Sandalwood trees are naturally grown in forest atmosphere .Sandalwood is a semi parasite crop and depends on host plants for most of its nutrients . Therefore the growth of sandalwood trees takes more years .The scenario in organized cultivation is different ,giving a special care in locating the soil, planting hybrid plants, frequent watering and the management of fertilizing the plant makes the growth of sandalwood achieving optimum output within 16 years it has been proved in the research.
4.	Do you have any Insurance for this crop ?
The sandalwood crop is a wild and long term crop and the cultivation duration is longer, therefore no insurance company insures it.
5.	What is the role of an investor?
The investor has to buy the plot and give permission to us for plantation of sandalwood and maintenance for 16 years on 50:50 profit share basis on the sandalwood yield.
6.	When will you start plantation for each phase ?
We have planed to put nearly 10 phases in this project .After closing each phase the plantation will be started on that phase. The period will be a maximum of 3 months.
7 . Whether the Layout is approved ?
Yes, the Layout is Panchayat approved Layout .
8.	Where do we get the legal documents of the Layout?
The legal documents can be collected in our office or with our marketing executive.
9.	Where shall we get the Layout sketch?
10.	When is the plot registered in our name?

Nikoloz Basilashvili (, ; born 23 February 1992) is a Georgian professional tennis player. He reached a career-high ATP singles ranking of world No. 16 on 27 May 2019.

In July 2018, he made it into the main draw of the German Open in Hamburg as a qualifier and went on to win the tournament, defeating Leonardo Mayer in the final, thereby becoming the first Georgian player since Alex Metreveli to win an ATP tournament. In October 2018, Basilashvili won his second ATP title at the China Open by defeating world No. 4 Juan Martín del Potro in the final. In 2019, Basilashvili completed his first title defense by winning the German Open for a second successive year.

Personal life
Basilashvili was born 23 February 1992 in Tbilisi, Georgia. His father, Nodar, is a dancer of the Sukhishvili Georgian National Ballet, his mother, Natalia, worked as a physician. He has a brother, Tengiz. Apart from his native language he also speaks Russian and English.

Basilashvili started playing tennis at age 5. When he was 15 his family moved to Russia. From 2007 to 2011 he was coached in Sacramento, CA, United States and at 18 he returned to Georgia, only to uproot again and move to an academy in Turkey run by an Australian coach, Gavin Hopper. In 2011, Basilashvili announced that he may play for Russia, but decided to keep playing under the Georgian flag.

He has a son, Lukas who was born in 2015.

On 21 May, 2020, Basilashvili was arrested on a charge of physically assaulting ex-wife Neka Dorokashvili in front of their son. Dorokashvili elaborated at a later point, alleging that Basilashvili "declared her as a subordinate" and treated her in a derogatory way. Tblisi court released Basilashvili on a bail of 100,000 Georgian Lari (around $36,300 USD) after his first arrest, however he since attended a trial hearing remotely. His legal team denied the charges, stating that they were "false and completely unsubstantiated". Basilashvili was cleared of charges after court judge questioned why Dorokashvili did not come forward earlier and stated that all claims were either debunked or had no substantial evidence of having happened.

Nikoloz did not play at any Grand Slams during his junior career. He reached a career high combined (singles and doubles) of world No. 59 on 5 January 2009. He ended his junior career with a 35–22 record on singles and 14–17 on doubles.

DANVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A Kentucky pet store owner says two women stole a pair of guinea pigs, lobbing one of the animals at him during their escape.
News outlets report 21-year-old Isabelle Mason and 19-year-old and Jaimee Pack on Saturday tried to smuggle out the animals from Pet Paradise without paying. Owner Scott Gonyaw told WKYT-TV he confronted the suspects, screaming "Give me the guinea pigs!" as they got into a car.
One suspect rolled down a window and tossed a four-month-old guinea pig named Lucky onto the concrete. The other ran over Gonyaw's foot with the car. He says he suffered bruising.
Lucky wasn't injured. The other guinea pig remains missing.
Jail records show Danville police charged the women with shoplifting, robbery and animal cruelty. It's unclear whether they have lawyers.

EduNation - The Dream of an India Empowered
Dr. K. M. Vasudevan Pillai has documented his travails in the progress of Mahatma Education Society through a book titled EduNation : The Dream of an India Empowered.
This is an unprecedented piece of work. It not only exposes the glaring inadequacies of the Indian educational system over a period of 60 years of Independence, but through a deep personal study of how things work in advanced countries, and through the examples of a spirited entrepreneurship of the author's own life provides chapter after chapter of meaningful hope. The book is an invaluable resource for all those interested in tapping into India's vast human capital. Government looking at reforms, entrepreneurs looking for real-time management truths, institution-builders wanting to get their foundations right, educators intent on getting, parents, teachers, students and philanthropists. It speaks to all in a language that is lucid, and with a pace, that is representative of the author's own scale of growth.
The book released in March 2010 is now the topic of discussions in academic and literary circles, and has drawn considerable attention to the path breaking and untiring efforts of Dr. K. M. Vasudevan Pillai and Dr. Daphne Pillai in the field of education. On Monday the 28th June 2010, Dr. K. M. Vasudevan Pillai presented his book EduNation to the Hon. Union Minister, HRD, Government of India Mr. Kapil Sibal. On the 15th September 2010, His Excellency Governor of Maharashtra, Mr. K. Shankaranarayanan granted them an exclusive audience at Raj Bhavan, Mumbai.

By including police and firefighters, Ohio's bill went further than Wisconsin's, which was the first in a series of union-limiting measures plugged by Republican governors this year as they faced deep budget holes and a tea party movement fed up with government excess. Democratic governors, including New York's Andrew Cuomo and Connecticut's Dannel Malloy, have also faced down their public employee unions in attempts to rein in costs.
That's why labor badly needs a win in Ohio, said Lee Adler, who teaches labor issues at Cornell University's New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations.
"If the governor of Ohio is able to hold the line on the legislation that was passed, then it would be a very significant setback for public sector workers and public sector unions in the U.S.," he said. "Likewise, if the other result happens, then it would certainly provide a considerable amount of hope that, with the proper kind of mobilization and the proper kind of targeting, some of the retrenchment that has been directed at public sector workers can be combated."
Victory could also galvanize support and build energy within the Democratic-leaning labor movement ahead of the 2012 presidential election, a potential boon for President Obama's re-election effort.
We Are Ohio, the labor-backed coalition fighting the law, had raised more than $24 million as of mid-October — more than Obama, John McCain and 18 other presidential contenders raised in combined Ohio contributions during the 2008 presidential election, according to Federal Election Commission data.
Building a Better Ohio, the business-fueled proponent campaign, has raised $8 million. Outside groups including FreedomWorks, Americans for Prosperity and the Virginia-based Alliance for America's Future are also rallying support for the law.
