Ben Shaver 2021-12-30 Answered
Here are summary statistic for randomly selected weights of newborn girls: \(\displaystyle{n}={211},\ \overline{{{x}}}={33.7}{h}{g},\ {s}={6.8}{h}{g}.\) Construct a confidence intercal estimate of the mean. Use a 90% confidence level. Are these results very different from the confidence interval \(\displaystyle{32.1}{h}{g}{ < }\mu{ < }{34.3}{h}{g}\) with only 16 sample values, \(\displaystyle\overline{{{x}}}={33.2}{h}{g}\), and \(\displaystyle{s}={2.6}{h}{g}\)?
What is the confidence interval for the population mean \(\displaystyle\mu\)?
Are the results between the two confidence intervals very different?
a) Yes, because the confidence interval limits are not similar.
b) No, because each confidence interval contains the mean of the other confidence interval.
c) No, because the confidence interval limits are similar
d) Yes, because one confidence interval does not contain the mean of the other confidence interval.

From the given information, \(\displaystyle{n}={211},\ \overline{{{x}}}={33.7}{h}{g}\) and \(\displaystyle{s}={6.8}{h}{g}.\)
The confidence level is 0.90.
\(\displaystyle{1}-\alpha={0.90}\)
\(\displaystyle\alpha={1}-{0.90}\)
\(\displaystyle\alpha={0.10}\)
Then, a 90% confidence interval for the population mean is
\(\displaystyle\overline{{{x}}}\pm{t}_{{{\frac{{\alpha}}{{{2}}}},\ {n}-{1}}}{\left({\frac{{{s}}}{{\sqrt{{{n}}}}}}\right)}={33.7}\pm{t}_{{{\frac{{{0.10}}}{{{2}}}},\ {211}-{1}}}{\left({\frac{{{6.8}}}{{\sqrt{{{211}}}}}}\right)}\)
\(\displaystyle={33.7}\pm{t}_{{{0.05},\ {210}}}{\left({\frac{{{6.8}}}{{\sqrt{{{211}}}}}}\right)}\)
\(\displaystyle={33.7}\pm{\left({1.625}\right)}{\left({\frac{{{6.8}}}{{\sqrt{{{211}}}}}}{\left[\text{Using the excel function}\ ={T}.{I}{N}{V}{\left({0.05},\ {210}\right)}\right]}\right.}\)
\(\displaystyle={33.7}\pm{0.7734}\)
\(\displaystyle={\left({33.7}-{0.7734},\ {33.7}+{0.07734}\right)}\)
\(\displaystyle={\left({32.9},\ {34.5}\right)}\)
Thus, a 90% confidence interval for the population mean is \(\displaystyle{32.9}{h}{g}{ < }\mu{ < }{34.5}{h}{g}\)
From the given information, the confidence interval for the population mean is \(\displaystyle{32.1}{h}{g}{ < }\mu{ < }{34.3}{h}{g}\)
From the above two confidence intervals it can be observed that both lower and upper limits of the two confidence intervals are different.
Reason for the incorrect options:
From the two confidence intervals it can be observed that limits are not same. To determine the similarity of the two confidence intervals it has to the limits of the intervals.
Thus, the options B, C and D are incorrect.

Sample size \(\displaystyle{n}={211}\)
Sample mean \(\displaystyle\overline{{{x}}}={33.7}\)
Standard deviation \(\displaystyle{s}={6.8}\)
we use t distibution as population standard deviation is unknown.
degree of freedom \(\displaystyle={n}-{1}\)
\(\displaystyle={211}-{1}\)
\(\displaystyle={210}\)
Significance level, \(\displaystyle\alpha={0.10}\)
cratical value \(\displaystyle{t}_{{{c}}}={1.652}\) (Use Excel Formula :T.INV(probability, \(deg_{freedom}\))
90% Confidence interval \(\displaystyle=\overline{{{x}}}\pm{\left({t}_{{{c}}}\times{\frac{{{s}}}{{\sqrt{{{n}}}}}}\right)}\)
\(\displaystyle={33.7}\pm{\left({1.652}\times{\frac{{{6.8}}}{{\sqrt{{{211}}}}}}\right)}\)
\(\displaystyle={\left({32.927},\ {34.473}\right)}\)
The Two confidence intervals are (32.9, 34.5) and (32.1, 34.3)
The mean 33.2 is included in (32.9, 34.5)
So each confidence interval contains the mean of the other confidence interval.
\(\begin{array}{} \text{Step 1} \\\text{Given:} \\\text{Sample size} (n)=211 \\\text{Sample mean} (\bar{x})=28.2 \\\text{Standard deviation} (s)=6.4 \\\alpha=0.05 \\(\alpha=0.05,\ dF=210) \\t_{2.10,\ 0.05}=\pm 1.97 \\\text{Confidence interval is} \\=\bar{x}\pm t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} \\=28.2\pm\frac{1.97(6.4)}{\sqrt{211}} \\=28.2\pm0.867 \\=(27.3,\ 29.067) \\\text{Therefore, Confidence interval} \end{array}\)
\(\begin{array}{} \\27.3<\mu<29.067 \\t=\frac{\bar{x}_{1}-\bar{x}_{2}}{\sqrt{\frac{s_{1}}{n_{1}}^{2}+\frac{s_{2}}{n_{2}}^{2}}} \\\bar{x}_{2}=27.6 \\s_{2}^{2}=2.1 \\n_{2}=19 \\t=\frac{28.2-27.6}{\sqrt{\frac{(6.4)^{2}}{211}+\frac{(2.1)^{2}}{19}}} \\=0.920 \\dF=211+19-2 \\=229 \\t_{229,\ 0.09}=1.97 \end{array}\)
Our t-statistic is less than 1.97. So,
We have to accept Noll Hypothesy
There is no difference brom the confidence interval brom the two Sample

End-of-Life Decision Making and the Role of Advance Directives
June 2010 - FRMC
Tori Socha
Discussions prior to passage of recent healthcare reform laws raised awareness of the use of advance directives to direct end-of-life care. Advance directives document a patient's wishes regarding life-sustaining treatment, choice of a surrogate decision maker, or both. In 1990, Congress passed the Patient Self-Determination Act mandating that all Medicare-certified institutions provide written information about a patient's right to formulate an advance directive. Recently, according to researchers, concerns were generated by some of the provisions in the new law that reimbursing providers for helping patients with advance directives would lead to denial of necessary care.
Researchers recently completed a study to assess the need for and value of advance directives. They determined the prevalence and predictors of lost decision-making capacity and decision making at the end of life. They also assessed the association between advance directives and care received at the end of life. Results of the study were reported in the New England Journal of Medicine [2010;362(13):1211-1218].
The study utilized data from the Health and Retirement Study, a survey of a nationally representative cohort of US adults ≥51 years of age. The current study was limited to persons ≥60 years who died between 2000 and 2006, for whom a proxy answered a study-directed exit interview after the death. Proxy respondents were adult children (48.9%), spouses (32.5%), or other relatives (13.5%). Proxies of the deceased survey respondents who required surrogate decision making were the deceased's actual decision maker 79.5% of the time.
The questions addressed whether the deceased had completed a living will or durable power of attorney for healthcare, maintained the capacity for decision making, or needed decision making at the end of life. For those who needed decision making, data on what decisions were made and who made them were collected.
There were 4246 respondents to the Health and Retirement Study who died. Of those, exit data were gathered on 93.3% (n=3963), and 88.2% (n=3746) were ≥60 years of age at the time of death. Of the 3746, 42.5% (n=1536) required decision making about treatment in the last days of life. After adjusting for sociodemographic and clinical covariates, memory deficits, cerebrovascular disease, nursing home status, and loss of a spouse were associated with a greater likelihood of the need for decision making.
There were 1409 decedents who required decision making for whom complete data were available. Of those, 70.3% lacked the capacity for decision making. Predictors of an inability to make an end-of-life treatment decision were cognitive impairment, cerebrovascular disease, and nursing home residence.
Of those who needed decision making but lacked the capacity, 67.5% had an advance directive: 6.8% had a living will only, 21.3% had appointed a durable power of attorney for healthcare only, and 39.4% had prepared a living will and appointed a durable power of attorney for healthcare.
Of those who had a living will, 1.9% had requested all care possible, 92.7% had requested limited care, and 96.2% had requested comfort care; 83.2% of those who wanted limited care and 97.1% of those who wanted comfort care received the care they requested. Of the 10 people who requested all care possible, 5 received it. Those who requested all care possible were more likely to receive aggressive care compared with those who did not request it (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 22.62; 95% confidence interval [CI], 4.45-115.0).
Compared with those without living wills, persons with living wills were less likely to receive all care possible (adjusted OR, 0.33; 95% CI, 0.19-0.56); those who had assigned a durable power of attorney for healthcare were less likely to die in a hospital (adjusted OR, 0.33; 95% CI, 0.19-0.56) or receive all care possible (adjusted OR, 0.54; 95% CI, 0.34-0.86) compared with those who did not assign a durable power of attorney for healthcare.
The study findings suggest that more than a quarter of elderly adults may need surrogate decision making at the end of life, and a living will and a durable power of attorney had significant effect on decision-making outcomes. The researchers concluded by noting that "advance directives are important tools for providing care in keeping with patients' wishes."—Tori Socha

I have Jenkins 2.101 running perfectly well. When yum upgrades to 2.102 it fails to start with a "java.nio.charset.MalformedInputException: Input length = 1" error.
I can downgrade back to 101 and it starts fine.

It's totally corrupted. Bits of Jenkins config, bits of binary from god knows where, bits of other files.... So, I removed it. Restarted Jenkins and all seems well. No idea how the file got corrupted so badly... Depending on how worried the project are about bad files causing weird problems this can probably be closed. Hopefully anyone else googling the same error will find this solution!

As homeowners and business owners, there are so many parts of the premises that we almost completely take for granted — until those items stop working.
One such item is the water heater, which we seldom think about or notice until there is a large (and often EXPENSIVE) problem!
While we absolutely would love to help you in the process of replacing your water heater with a newer and more efficient model, we also are well-equipped to help you with even the most minor water heater repair tasks.
Before making the step to replacing or even making serious water heater repairs, let's talk about the things you can do yourself to maintain and take care of your water heater.
1) Turn the power off to your water heater or turn off the gas so that the pilot light goes out completely. Also, be certain to completely turn off the cold water line to the water heater.
2) Place a bucket to retain the water from the pressure relief valve. Next, find the "trip lever" on the valve, and pull it. At this point, you will likely hear a slight rush of air or see some water and condensation disperse through the pressure relief valve. If this does not occur, drain the tank and replace the valve.
3) To replace the pressure valve, remove the discharge pipe and unscrew the pressure valve from your water heater. Take note of the stem length and be sure to purchase a replacement that is the exact, same size. Tighten the new valve in place, securing it with a wrench. Reattach the discharge pipe, turn on the water and either reconnect the electricity or restart the pilot light according to the instructions from the manufacturer of your water heater.
2) Connect a hose to your tank's drain valve. Find the releasing end of the hose, but do so very cautiously, as the water that exits may be of scalding heat.
3) With the pressure relief valve open, open the drain valve and and completely drain the tank. Completely draining the tank ensures that all of the dirt and sediment has been successfully removed.
4) Turn off the tank drain valve, detach the hose from the valve and turn off the pressure relief valve. Turn on all the hot-water sources in the house, and then turn on the cold-water intake to the water heater tank.
5) Turn off all hot-water sources as water begins to flow. After all the sources are turned off, return power to the water heater, or turn the gas back on if you have a gas-powered water heater.
Water heater repair is one of our areas of specialty at Miller's. We are the leading provider of plumbing expertise in Gloucester and Mathews, Virginia, and we would love to show you why our customers keep coming back to us after all these years to help them with all their plumbing needs!

Goodbye neighborhood polling places?

(The Associated Press)
By Chris Nichols
SACRAMENTO —
Driven by record low voter turnout, California election officials on Wednesday proposed a system that would deliver vote-by-mail ballots to all registered voters, eliminate many neighborhood polling places and replace them with larger voting centers that allow early voting.
California Secretary of State Alex Padilla announced the plan during a news conference in Sacramento.
"California ranked 43rd in voter turnout nationally for the 2014 General Election. This problem cannot be ignored," said Padilla, a Democrat and former state senator from Los Angeles. He added that the new plan "would provide citizens more options for when, where and how they vote."
The changes would allow voters to drop off or cast a ballot at any vote center in their county, rather than being tied to a single polling place.
While many neighborhood polling places would be eliminated, state officials say the smaller number of voting centers, established at schools or other community centers, would take their place and be open for 10 days before Election Day.
"I think we are all nostalgic for those polling place experiences," Sen. Ben Allen, D-Santa Monica, said at the news conference. "But the current model … is just not working. It's not maximizing voter participation."
Ron Nehring, vice chairman of the Republican Party of San Diego County, called Padilla's plan a partisan effort to get more Democrats to vote.
"The Democrats in California have a turnout problem," Nehring said. "Republican voter turnout rates are already high."
Nehring added that more competitive elections are the best way to expand voting in the state.
The changes are modeled after a reformed voting system in Colorado.
California Democrats said Wednesday the new voting model would save the state and counties money, but did not specify how much or say how much it would cost to mail all voters a ballot.
The new system is similar to a five-year pilot program that was signed into law last year for San Diego County. Spearheaded by Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, that program requires elections officials to send all voters mail-in ballots for special elections to fill legislative vacancies.
"This is an opportunity to say: 'We as a state value people voting," Gonzalez, D-San Diego, said at the news conference. "What we need to do is break down all barriers."
If legislation for the proposal is successful this year, officials said they hope to put it in place by 2018. Each county government would be able to opt-in to the new system.
Sen. Allen and Sen. Bob Hertzberg, D-Van Nuys, are coauthors of legislation for the plan. Their bill, SB 450, was originally crafted as a minor elections change and passed out of the Senate that way. The bill will be amended with the new proposal, which will have to be approved in both the Assembly and Senate before going to the governor.
Acknowledging that some voters who are used to neighborhood polling places may have trouble adjusting to new voting centers, Padilla said the plan would require the centers be established in easily accessible areas, including along public transit routes. He said the initiative would require strong public outreach, as well.
Backers added that additional steps, such as creating drive-through ballot drop boxes, would be considered as part of the plan.
"We've flipped this (voting system) on its head and focused on the voter, and made it convenient for them rather than convenient for people in government," Hertzberg said.
Mindy Romero, founder and director of the California Civic Engagement Project at UC Davis, applauded the proposal.
"We need bold steps and innovation if we are going to start to change the low turnout situation in California — if we want to rescue our democracy," Romero said.
She rejected the idea that the voting reforms would help only one party. She acknowledged Republican turnout rates are higher than those for Democrats but only by a few percentage points.
"Any reform in California would benefit both (parties)," she said.
She added that she'd like the voting changes to be mandatory, not optional for counties.
Backers of the change said they hope to see a cost savings and voter turnout increase similar to Colorado.
In that state, election costs dropped 30 percent after their new model was implemented in 2012, California officials said. Since then, voter turnout in Colorado has been an average of 20.7 percent higher than in California. Before, Colorado was an average of 7 percent higher.
Earlier this year, Padilla and Gonzalez authored legislation to boost California's voter rolls — potentially by millions of people — by automatically registering eligible residents when they obtain or renew their driver's license. That bill, titled the California New Motor Voter Act, was recently approved by the Assembly and will next be heard by the Senate.
Republican leaders also opposed that legislation.

When in London, it is very important to choose an appropriate accommodation, as there are very many touristic objectives and probably very little time. This is why, usually, it would be recommended to choose a hotel that is located in one of the popular Central London areas. And do not worry if you are running on a tight budget. There are many options suitable for your needs and tastes.
One example of such an accommodation is the Holiday Inn London Kings Cross/Bloomsbury Hotel. With great facilities and special packages for families, you will certainly be impressed not only by its perfect location, but also due to the number of nearby public or private means of transport, as well as popular local attractions. Thus, you can simply visit the British Museum or do some shopping sessions in the Bloomsbury department whenever you want to.

PlayStation 5 rumoured release date and price leaked online
By Tom Kelly
The Playstation 5 has been rumoured to be released for the past year and excitement and anticipation has only increased from this point.
However, a fairly credible source has potentially identified the release date and price of the revolutionary piece of gaming technology.
Twitter user PSErebus has identified that the release date would be within the holiday season of 2020, and more specifically, November 20, 2020.
Furthermore, a particular fear of the PS5 was that this console would cost an outrageous amount, but, much to the delight of all the gamers out there, it's actually (reportedly) more reasonable than you might fear.
The console has been reported to be worth $499, which would equate to around £380, which for a NextGen console isn't exactly terrible if you start saving up in advance.

Although at first this might appear a rather daunting amount, this price reflects the cost of the previous generation console, the PlayStation 4, when that was first released.
The PS4 was first released on the market within the region of $399 in 2014, while the original PlayStation first hit store shelves at the price of $300.
Considering the rise of inflation over the years, and that there are currently iPhones worth over £1,000, the PS5 does seem like a fairly wise investment if you're heavily into your gaming.
However, you must be thinking - why should I care what Twitter user PSErebus should have to say about this.
Well, the online persona correctly predicted the release date of 'The Last of Us: Part Two' which resulted in the gaming company pushing back its release a matter of months later.

A Miami Egyetem (angolul: University of Miami, rövidtve: UM, UMiami, U of M, és The U) magán kutatóegyetem a floridai Coral Gables-ben, Miami szomszédságában. 2021-ben tizenkét egyetemi kart működtetett volt, 350 programot. Ezek közé tartozik a Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine Miami Health District elnevezésű kerületében, a jogi intézmény a fő campuson és a Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science Virginia Key tengerparton, kutatóintézményekkel megyeszerte.

138 alapfokú, 140 mesterdiploma és 67 doktori programot ajánl, 1925-ös alapítása óta jártak ide tanulók az unió összes államából és 173 országból. 2022 őszén  tanulója és  oktatója (összességében  személyzete) volt. Miami-Dade megye második legnagyobb munkáltatója. Az egyetem fő campusa 0,97 km2 területen fekszik Coral Gables-ben, épületeinek összterülete  km2. Miami belvárosától 11 kilométerre fekszik.

Az egyetem oktatói között van négy Nobel-díjas, ismert arról, hogy nagyon aktív kutatómunkák területén. 2021-ben az Egyesült Államok 71. legnagyobb egyeteme volt kutatási költségvetés szempontjából, 375 millió dollárt költöttek rá az évben. Florida 171 egyeteme és főiskolája között ide a legnehezebb bekerülni diákoknak, könyvtárrendszere Észak-Amerika egyik legjobbja, 4 millió példánnyal.

Az egyetem sportcsapatai Miami Hurricanes néven ismertek és a National Collegiate Athletic Association első osztályában versenyeznek. Amerikai futballcsapata 1983 óta öt országos bajnoki címet nyert el, míg baseball-csapata négyet 1982 óta.

It happened just before 9 a.m. in the town of Hilmar on River Road near Kelley Road in Merced County.
The CHP says all three victims are females, but their names and ages have not yet been released.
The only survivor is being treated for burns, and her condition is not known at this point.
Authorities say it's remarkable she survived this terrible accident.
One look at the decimated Dodge truck shows the violent nature of the crash that killed the driver and her front seat passenger.
"The driver for unknown reasons lost control of the vehicle, and the driver side ended up broad-siding this oak tree," Sgt. Jeremy Key of the CHP said.
Authorities say the mangled metal made it difficult to reach the victims, and the truck was on fire when they arrived.
"The vehicle wasn't fully engulfed, however there was some fire that spread into the cab area," Key said.
Despite those challenges, crews rescued the rear passenger. She was flown to a Modesto hospital with second degree burns. Investigators are now trying to figure out what caused the crash.
"The roadway was wet when we initially were on scene, however it's not believed that was a cause of the collision," Key said.
The CHP had to close river road for a short time after the accident while a tow truck removed the wreckage. Officers say they have had other fatal crashes in this area, partly because the lack of a shoulder leaves little room for error.

It's been a very trying year for GOP Senator John McCain.
In early 2017, the politician underwent surgery to remove a blood clot above his left eye, but doctors found something even more alarming during the procedure: a tumor in his brain.
They concluded "that a primary brain tumor known as a glioblastoma was associated with the blood clot."
"They said that it's very serious. That the prognosis is very, very serious," McCain told 60 Minutes. "Some say three percent, some say 14 percent. You know, it's a very poor prognosis. So I just said, 'I understand. Now we're gonna do what we can, get the best doctors we can find and do the best we can.' And, at the same time, celebrate with gratitude a life well lived."
Although his prognosis was said to be very poor, McCain has been fighting hard, and his family has been there with him every step of the way. Every so often, they would release updates about the Senator's progress.
He underwent a round of chemotherapy, but it wasn't without complications. Last fall, he found himself back in the hospital after experiencing some nasty side effects from the cancer treatments.
A statement from his office later reassured the public that this was a "normal side effect of his ongoing cancer therapy." It continued, "As ever, he remains grateful to his physicians for their excellent care, and his friends and supporters for their encouragement and good wishes. Senator McCain looks forward to returning to work as soon as possible."
The Vietnam veteran and prisoner of war, who turns 82 on August 29, built up enough strength to attend his daughter Meghan McCain's wedding on November 21, 2017.
He later told People magazine that seeing his daughter walk down the aisle was a dream come true.
Earlier this year, McCain's family announced that the frail senator had been hospitalized once again for intestinal surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix. He made a full recovery shortly after, and returned to his ranch in Arizona.
Now, the McCains are sharing more information about the politician's treatment, but this time, the news is not what everyone was hoping to hear. According to the new statement, McCain has made the decision to end all of his medical treatment.
Last year, Senator John McCain shared with Americans the news our family already knew: he had been diagnosed with an aggressive glioblastoma, and the prognosis was serious.
In the year since, John has surpassed expectations for his survival. But the progress of disease and the inexorable advance of age render their verdict. With his usual strength of will, he has chosen to discontinue medical treatment.
Meghan wrote on Twitter that the "family is deeply appreciative of all the love and generosity" people have shown them over the past year. She added, "Thank you for all your continued support and prayers. We could not have made it this far without you - you've given us strength to carry on."
McCain's wife, Cindy McCain, also took to Twitter to express her love for her husband, and gratitude for their supporters. She wrote: "I love my husband with all of my heart. God bless everyone who has cared for my husband along this journey."
McCain's fellow politicians also had some words to say about the unfortunate update on Twitter.
"God bless John McCain, his family, and all who love him — a brave man showing us once again what the words grace and grit really mean," wrote former Secretary of State John Kerry.
Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell wrote that he was "very sad to hear this morning's update from the family of our dear friend." He added, "We are so fortunate to call him our friend and colleague. John, Cindy, and the entire McCain family are in our prayers at this incredibly difficult hour."
We're thinking of McCain and his family during this very difficult time in their lives.

RYAN FOLLESE MAKES COUNTRY DEBUT ON NBC'S TODAY OCTOBER 24
NASHVILLE, TN (October 18, 2016) – Chart-topping songwriter and artist Ryan Follese (pronounced fall-uh-ZAY) will perform "Put A Label On It" next Monday, October 24 on NBC's TODAY during the 9:00A hour. He penned the first official single, along with five other tracks, for a solo Country self-titled EP on BMLG Records.
With a stratospheric vocal range, Ryan found remarkable pop success fronting American Music Award-winning band Hot Chelle Rae. He co-wrote their 3X Platinum #1 worldwide smash "Tonight, Tonight" and toured in 16 countries, including arena dates with Taylor Swift. While lucrative, his youthful rebellion initially led him away from the early influence of his chart-topping Country music songwriter parents Keith (Tim McGraw's "Something Like That" | Faith Hill's "The Way You Love Me") and Adrienne (Lady Antebellum's "Long Gone" | Martina McBride's "I Love You"). Since then, however, he has returned home to Nashville and is naturally embracing the bestowed talent yet creating music that's uniquely his.
As Ryan continues to introduce his fresh sound, he will join Live Nation's 'Ones To Watch' Tour with headliner LOCASH in November and into early 2017. Visit ryanfollese.com for updates or follow him on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

The Museum of Ancient Seafaring () was installed in Mainz in 1994 in the former central covered market (before railway repair shop of the Hessian Ludwig Railway) near the South Station, nowadays Mainz Römisches Theater station, as a branch of the Romano-Germanic Central Museum (Mainz). The new archaeological center is built right beside the current museum building. A workshop is affiliated to the museum, where visitors have the opportunity to watch the staff replicate ancient ship models.

History

Due to the fact that in 1981/82 during construction works near the Rhine river well-preserved remains of several ships from Late Antiquity, the so said Mainzer Roman ships were discovered, an adequate exhibition space for these was required. There were discovered two different types of warship of late Roman Rhine fleet ″Classis Germanica″ and other ship types.

It is a light-hearted post but there was some seriousness behind it and the question I raise. Now that I've pretty much got my act together, I thought I would share this post from last November. Enjoy!
1. Talk show host: Maybe an over-rated job but I love it, love Oprah! I'd probably interview people trying to make a difference in the world. This job will give me a real opportunity to brand myself. I would be no good at the Jerry Springer stuff (I lack the ability to keep a straight face).
Keeping my boss on the straight and narrow, Awesome!
3. Make-up artist: About 3 years ago, I actually started to research schools for this. There were a handful of them in the London area but they cost an arm and a leg. I remember one particular one was about £4000 for a 3-week course!!! That amount of money could pay some kid's way through university. But still, it is my fantasy to make-up models for the London or Milan fashion week. I can do wonders with some mascara and eye-shadow.
Having to hold a mic for a living would be great!
5. Singer: Last but by no means the least. But I can't really sing so this is a long shot. When I hear amazing singing, I am sometimes moved to tears as my skin becomes riddled with goosebumps. The absolute best moments I've had is sitting in the audience as someone sang their heart out, causing my eyes to well up. This may have to do for now. Fair enough.
Is there a secret youtube video of you somewhere doing karaoke? I would love to see it!
Yeah, I still fantastize about doing this.
Yeah, it's varied isn't it? Once didn't get a second interview for a job because the interviewer said I have too many interests!!! LOL. Thanks for stopping by :-).


The iPad has been a roaring success so unsurprisingly every manufacturer out there has looked to match Apple's tablet in terms of style, functionality and most importantly popularity.
The next young pretender to the iPad's crown comes in the form of the Archos 97 Titanium and after all the legal shenanigans with Samsung we're surprised this tablet bares so much of a resemblance to Apple's slate.
As with the smaller 80 Titanium, Archos has emblazoned the front of the 97 Titanium with its logo and a front facing camera positioned in the top corner in an attempt to give the tablet an air of originality.
The tablet itself looks relatively premium with the version we got our hands on actually the 97b Titanium – a plastic-rear clad variant destined for the US market, while Europe will be treated to the 97 Titanium, sporting a smarter aluminium rear.
Picking up the 97 Titanium we noticed it had quite a weight about it which made one-handed use a strain on the wrist, so you'll need to use both mitts or rest the tablet on your lap for extended periods of usage.
As the name suggests there's a 9.7-inch display present with boasts a Retina-like 2048×1536 Super HD IPS resolution, providing a bright and crisp image.
This meant that Android Jelly Bean looked impressive on the 97 Titanium's screen, and Archos has not meddled with Google's platform giving you full access to the highly flexible operating system.
With a 1.6GHz dual-core processor and quad-core GPU the Archos 97 Titanium is modestly powered, although Jelly Bean wasn't the slickest operation we'd experienced.
The tablet did take a second or so here and there to load what we had requested and while the 97 Titanium is still running a development build we were hoping for the performance to come close to that of the iPad.
We found that the screen often got confused when it came to rotating, with us going from portrait to landscape sometimes leading to the screen being upside down.
This is something we hope gets fixed before it goes on sale next month, as it would be highly frustrating for any user if it doesn't.
Of course video playback on the 9.7-inch Super HD IPS display is impressive with vibrant colours and a high level of detail, and the dual speakers round the back of the 97 Titanium produce a decent audio volume although it's not the crispest sound.
The 97 Titanium release date will be before March this year, while its price is an exceedingly competitive £199/$249 (around AU$300) which makes it far more affordable than the iPad 4 to which Archos believes it rivals.
This is the only price band for the Archos 97 Titanium as it's only available in its 8GB, Wi-Fi only guise – a big disappointment for anyone who likes a large amount of storage in their tablet or the ability to access the web on the move.
An ace up the 97 Titanium's sleeve though is the inclusion a microSD port allowing you to build on the pitful storage inside – something a lot of 10-inch tablets don't support these days.
Archos has also provided metal power/lock and volume keys on the 97 Titanium it give it more of a premium look and feel, setting it apart from the plastic buttons found on the smaller 70 Titanium and 80 Titanium.
The Archos 97 Titanium provides a dual camera offering with a 2MP lens on its rear and a VGA snapper on the front.
The camera app and shutter speed are not particularly quick, but at least the system is intuitive thanks to the stock Android software in play.
As you'd expect from a 2MP camera image quality isn't great but the Archos 97 Titanium isn't a device made for taking pictures, it just has cameras to tick another box on the spec sheet.
Archos want the 97 Titanium to be seen as an iPad on a shoe-string and while it does have a decent display the overall experience left us a bit empty.
Sure it's got the various bells and whistles of most tablets these days but it lacked the polish of Apple's creations and other Android tablets are faster, smoother and feel nicer in the hand.
The price point is certainly competitive and you get a decent chunk of tablet for your money, but if you're looking for something which is going to rival the iPad then you've come to the wrong place.

AI ready to fly?
A survey shows Hong Kong is ready for a digital world but knowledge and skills issues could present obstacles.
Google and global business-services firm KPMG are conducting a detailed study to determine Hong Kong's readiness to adopt artificial intelligence (AI) and advance the city as a "smarter digital city". Leonie Valentine, Managing Director, Sales & Operations, Google Hong Kong, talked to Hong Kong Means Business about the survey findings.
How are you going about assessing the city's readiness?
Google Hong Kong has embarked on a new three-year programme of longitudinal research, conducted by KPMG. In preparing the just-released first-edition whitepaper – Smarter Digital City – AI for Everyone, residents and businesses were canvassed on four key business verticals to compile this year's AI Readiness Index, with score ranges from 0 (least ready to adopt AI) to 100 (most ready to adopt AI). This new report outlines how adopting technology and realising the benefits of AI assist the city's recovery.
Why initiate this programme?
Since 2017, Google Hong Kong has been committed to supporting the city's smart-city development and digital transformation. The first phase of the research programme focused on understanding trends and progress of the city's digitisation, along with helpful recommendations to key stakeholders supporting technology for good and economic recovery and opportunity.
Hong Kong's digitisation has gathered pace, and the topics of AI and machine learning came to the fore with AI remaining top-of-mind for policymakers, businesses, and residents.
In 2020, Google Hong Kong embarked on a new three-year programme of longitudinal research delving specifically into the topic of AI adoption and readiness in Hong Kong.
What have you discovered?
Overall, both residents and businesses recognise the value of AI and the need to equip AI-related knowledge. Of residents, 65% expect that AI can help improve society in general, while 63% cite ease and convenience as the key reasons for adopting AI, including smart translation (80%) and route optimisation (79%) as the most frequently used AI-powered products and services.
However, residents are worried about the use of data without prior know-how and permission (49%) and cost (40%) associated with those AI-powered products and services.
Encouragingly, residents showed interest in areas of general understanding of AI and machine learning (44%), application and use cases of AI and machine learning (44%), as well as data science and data analytics (42%). They also considered that the private (70%) and public (81%) sectors play an important role in educating the public about AI.
What did businesses say?
Of businesses 78% believe AI is beneficial, particularly in improving quality and enhancing efficiency, and are keen to investigate future investment in AI. Yet financial gaps (56%), knowledge gaps (51%) and talent gaps (50%) remain the key barriers in their AI journey.
Taking a closer look into organisation-wide strategy, 49% of businesses said they have a data strategy for the company in place but only 31% currently operate an in-house data warehouse or seek to enrich data from third-party sources.
To build a solid foundation for their AI journey, it's critical for businesses to have the right set-up and realign operating models, for example, by leveraging cloud solutions and formulating data management guidelines.
How can small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) overcome the cost barrier?
With many small and medium-sized businesses having been hard-hit by COVID-19, their adoption of digital technologies is especially important. There are many AI-powered solutions relevant for Hong Kong's SMEs that can help mitigate risks, improve efficiency, enhance products and services, and deliver experiences that align with fast-changing customer needs. For example, smart translation can help SMEs broaden their reach into overseas customers, while image recognition can help improve online catalogues.
SMEs often look for immediate ROI (return on investment) on AI investments, with 31% citing insufficient financial support as a barrier to adoption, compared with 21% of corporates. Business owners should clearly identify critical business needs to be addressed and consider plug-and-play solutions, for example, applying analytics to optimise their product and stock mix or to manage their supply chain.
What's the best way forward?
COVID-19 has triggered an immense increase in digital solutions and game-changing moments for both private and public sectors to rethink and reset the journey ahead. It is important to promote trust in AI for good and help people better understand and manage their data while making good use of products and services powered by AI.
Policymakers and regulators also play a crucial role in nurturing the AI ecosystem by boosting confidence and addressing businesses' uncertainty with regulatory requirements. There is enormous potential for the public and private sectors to work together on education and reskilling. For private sectors, building data capabilities across the business helps make smarter strategic decisions, while bridging the knowledge and talent gaps bring long-term success.

Psychiatric nursing is one of the most in-demand nursing specialties. With so many people getting affected by mental illnesses, the demand for health professionals who can dedicate their time to help patients get better and advocate for them is continuously increasing.
For you to become a psychiatric nurse, you need to be mentally, emotionally, and physically prepared. After all, you'll be dealing with conditions that extend beyond physical signs and symptoms.
Before we get to the step-by-step guide on how to become a psychiatric nurse, let's get an overview of the nursing specialty first.
As a part of a team, psychiatric nurses conduct assessments and interviews. They evaluate the not just the signs and symptoms a patient is experiencing but also his daily living habits, the support he is getting from family and friends, the pattern of his illness, and other factors that can trigger or affect his condition.
In some cases, psychiatric nurses also help organize events for their patients and families in order to help them acquire or develop better social skills that can help them recover faster.
When it comes to working opportunities, you actually have a lot of options. You can work in general hospitals, community mental health clinics, and substance abuse centers. You can also apply in outpatient treatment facilities, correctional institutions, and even school systems.
A lot of psychiatric nurses work during regular business hours. However, if you are working in an inpatient facility, you may need to work longer hours to ensure continuous care.
Take note that your working conditions may expose you to bloodborne pathogens, workplace violence, and chemicals since your patients have this tendency to become unstable and violent. If you aren't alert all the time, you may end up getting injured.
However, not all psychiatric nurses are exposed to such risky conditions. If you aren't comfortable working in those areas, you can work in research or education.
To become a psychiatric nurse, you need to be a registered nurse first. You can choose to start your career with a 4-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree or a 2-year Associate's degree. You can also begin your career with a 2- to 3-year diploma which you can get through a hospital-based training program.
After that, your next goal is to get licensed. You need to take and pass the NCLEX-RN before you can enter the nursing profession.
At the graduate level, you'll need additional education which is usually a 2-year Master of Science in Nursing degree. For you to be eligible for certification as a specialist, you'll need to complete a period of supervised clinical practice.
You can get your certification by exam and it's generally valid for about 5 years.
If you are considering to become a pediatric primary care mental health specialist or PMHS, you may get your certification from the Pediatric Nursing Certification Board.
Psychiatric nurses earn an average of $77,102 per year. The rate can get higher or lower, depending on your experience, additional certifications, and location. Psychiatric nurses working in New York earn about $38.81 per hour while nurses in the same specialty who are working in North Carolina earn $28.05 per hour.

Syria's Extraordinary Stock and Currency Markets
Shalifay
Global stock markets sold off this week on fears that the civil war in Syria would escalate with the US and its allies intervening. The sell-off has been particularly acute in Middle Eastern stock markets which are down around 5% on the week (check out market performance at our Market Dashboard). But amidst the panic in regional markets, one country's stock market stands out as a bastion of stability and sizable returns: Syria.
The Damascus Securities Exchange (DSE)
Unbeknownst to most investors, Syria has had its own stock market since 2009 in the Damascus Securities Exchange (DSE). With Syria's rocky recent history complete with protests, political instability, and international sanctions, the DSE is well off its highs. From March 2011 when protests first started, until May 2012 when elections were held, the DSE dropped over 43%:
Damascus Securities Exchange 2010-2013
However, what is most surprising is that despite the country still being split due to the ongoing civil war, the DSE has rallied over 55% in 2013 to be one of the best performing markets in the world this year! The market has not shut despite the conflict and has continued to operate the past week even after allegations of chemical weapons being used. In fact, this 2013 rally has been driven by the highest volumes ever seen on the DSE culminating in almost 485,000 shares trading in mid-July, although over the past week volumes have averaged under 100,000.
For a market barely 4 years old and situated in such a conflict-ridden zone, it's development has been extraordinary. There are 22 publicly listed companies on the exchange comprising 5 main sectors. With the rally this year total market capitalization has reached over 113 trillion Syrian pounds (SYP), equivalent to just over $1 billion USD. Furthermore its lack of shutdowns has been nothing short of amazing given the events happening locally, and their website remains well maintained and updated daily, a feat unmatched by many of the other frontier markets we follow.
So given the circumstances in Syria, why are markets roaring higher? A look at the currency markets provides a clue:
The Syrian Pound (SYP)
The SYP has been destroyed since the protests began. In March 2011, the SYP was trading at 47 to the USD, a level that had been kept since 2008. As of August 28, 2013, the SYP is officially trading at 127 to the USD according to the central bank, a move of over 170%!
If that wasn't bad enough, the rate of 127 is merely the official rate used by the central bank. Like many other developing countries facing large capital outflows, the SYP actually trades as a two-tiered market: the official spot market set by the central bank, as well as a black market where the true value of the SYP can be seen. In the black market the SYP is trading at 240 right now and has actually recovered from lows of 345 seen last month. This difference between the two markets stems from the strict capital controls in place in Syria, where using foreign currency has been made illegal with jail times for those found guilty of not paying with SYP.
The stunning collapse of the SYP of over 400% since March 2011 is inline with what you would expect a country going through civil war would experience. This weakening in the SYP has caused any assets priced in SYP to become incredibly cheap, the stock markets included. This is not exclusive to stocks; property markets have also seen demand returning despite an ongoing war. Simply stated by a realtor in this article, "Those with dollars can now afford the property of their dreams". While it seems that while most people in Syria are understandably getting as much money out of the country as possible, there are also enough intrepid investors that have instead viewed this conflict as a buying opportunity.

Dr. Amy Ortez grew up spending most of her time in and around barns outside of Philadelphia, PA. After spending many years working in various aspects of the horse industry, Amy made the decision to attend veterinary school at the Atlantic Veterinary College on Prince Edward Island, Canada. Since graduating, Amy has made her home near Rochester, NY where she is a mixed animal practitioner. There is no aspect of equine medicine that does not interest her. Amy is also the proud owner of several horses that she enjoys riding.
The fantasy of warm weather and hours of riding bliss is thwarted by the reality of biting insects and sweating man and beast. This defines summer. Biting insects come in many forms and each time of the day has an insect looking for a meal.
The Zika virus has increased mosquitoes' publicity but they have always been a worrisome vector of disease in horses. The average female mosquito only weighs 6 mg but they can potentially carry a number of viruses that can be deadly. Horses (and humans) are susceptible to Eastern, Western and Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis as well as West Nile virus. Horses are considered "dead end" hosts which means that people are not at risk if a mosquito bites an affected horses and then bites a human. Like humans, horses that are bitten might be itchy at the site of the bite. Mosquitoes like to be out at dusk and dawn.
The deer fly, and horse fly have painful bites. The horse fly is the big, huge fly that likes to land on the rump and inevitably cause your horse to buck just when you relaxed and dropped the reins. The deer flies bite on the legs and underside of horses but will bite any where available. They can cause equine infectious anemia (the disease Coggins test assess). These daytime predators do not like dark areas.
House flies and stable flies invite themselves into the barn and feast on the legs and face of horses. They too can cause equine infectious anemia and prefer to eat during the day.
Controlling these pesky pests are challenging. Many people do not like using chemical repellents since they seem to work for a few minutes, not the hours or days professed on the label. Fly sheets, masks and leg wraps are great as a physical barrier but if a bug enters them and is unable to find the it's way out, they can cause the horse distress. Clay poultices are helpful physical barriers that horses enjoy but are messy. Offering horses shelter with a fan is a great way to keep them cool, bug free and happy during the dog days of summer.
The Culicoides midge (commonly known as gnat or No-See-Um) is responsible for sweet itch. This is a hypersensitivity to the bite that causes horses to be extremely pruritic or itchy. The midges tend to bite on the mane, tail, and dorsal and sometimes ventral midline. Like the mosquitoes, they prefer early morning or late evening but will also hang out during the day if the wind is calm and it is cloudy.
Ticks don't cause horses the immediate distress that the biting flies create but they do cause diseases such as Lyme disease, tick paralysis (Australia), Anaplasma/Ehrlichiosis and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. They are most commonly found in wooded areas, tall grass, brush and shrubs.

My mustang, Neeheewanna, was rubbing herself raw, literally. Her mane was gone, the dock of her tail was bare and cracked. She rubbed incessantly. I had never had this with any of my other horses or mules. After having the vet come out and taking some skin samples to eliminate causes, the end determination was sweet itch. I was given a prescription shampoo to use on her to relieve her symptoms. It really didn't seem to help at all. The following year, same thing. This time I was telling my friend about it and she recommend Equi-Spa™ Not So Sweet Itch Gel Formula. She had been using for her horse and swore by it. Now I know why!
The Not So Sweet Itch Gel Formula reduces, if not eliminates, mane and tail rubbing. According to Equi-Spa™, "It soothes and moisturizes the skin and hair of the mane and tail to reduce rubbing due to dry itchy skin and promote new hair growth." Not So Sweet Itch Formula is a special blend of soothing witch hazel and moisturizing coconut oil blended with pure essential oils in a relieving organic aloe vera gel. These oils also have some properties that help with hair regrowth while moisturizing dry skin and hair. Gentle enough to use on sensitive areas.
Not So Sweet Itch Gel really performs just as Equi-Spa™ claims. It relieved Neehee's symptoms, the rubbing decreased and her raw, cracked skin healed. As she healed, her hair started to grow back in a noticeable amount of time. The prescription shampoo I tried previously, did not relieve the itching, nor did it heal her skin or promote hair regrowth. I now make sure to have this as a staple in my barn. I never want my horse to experience the pain and discomfort she endured from sweet itch again.
Note: This is not a paid advertisement. This review is based on my own personal use and experience.
I love spending time at the barn or being anywhere with our horses and mules. We spend a majority of our time outdoors with our animals, gardening, hunting, fishing or just enjoying nature. I prefer to spend my time focused on what is going on around me, rather than focusing on the biting insects and pests that seem to plague us from Spring through Fall.
At the barn we have had wonderful success with Spalding Fly Predators®. According to Spalding Labs, "The House Fly (80%) and the Stable Fly (20%) are the primary pest fly species that create problems as well as being the most widely distributed." Both of these can be very effectively controlled by good sanitation and Fly Predators®. Fly Predators® are the natural enemies of flies, but never bother people or animals. They kill flies before they emerge. Spalding Labs makes using their Fly Predators® seemless. On their website (www.spalding-labs.com), they walk you through a series of questions to determine the optimum number of Fly Predators® for your farm, herd and geography. They ship them monthly based on your climate, so they always arrive at the correct time to disperse them on your property.
Essential Oils (reference February Issue for All Essential Oils are NOT Created Equal) are a natural way to repel flies and other bothersome pests. There are a multitude of fly repellent recipes using essential oils that you can find on-line. My opinion is, most are a matter of preference. Some call for apple cider vinegar. I personally do not want to smell like vinegar all day, nor do I want my animals to. My one horse didn't like the scent of Citronella. While Citronella is an excellent fly repellent, I didn't want to use something on him that he had an affinity to.
Basil, Cedarwood, Citronella, Eucalyptus, Geranium, Lavender, Lemon, Lemongrass, Peppermint, Purification, Rosemary, Tea Tree and Thyme.
Apply directly neat (February Issue), if safe. Again, read your labels on each oil prior to use for safe application.
Essential oils can also be used to repel ticks. Some essential oils not only repel insects, they also boost the immune system, contain anti-infectious and anti-viral properties as well.
Geranium – has natural insect repellent, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. Gentle enough to use with direct application.
Palo Santo – has anti-infectious, anti-viral, immune-stimulant and insect repelling properties. Very effective in removing ticks. Research was done proving that Palo Santo will kill a tick within 15 minutes of application. Compared to Peppermint where the tick was still alive two weeks after application.
Rosewood – has antifungal, anti-infectious, and anti-parasitic properties. It is also good for fungal skin conditions.
Thyme – has antifungal, anti-infectious, and anti-viral properties. It is one of the best oils for preventing infection and boosting the immune system.
Myrrh – has anti-infectious, antiseptic and anti-parasitic properties.
Other oils that repel ticks are: Cedarwood, Citronella, Eucalyptus, Juniper, Lavender, Lemongrass and Peppermint.
To remove a tick, place 2-3 drops of Palo Santo directly on the tick and wait for the tick to let go. Peppermint, Cinnamon Bark, Thyme or Oregano can also be used, but will not kill the tick.
Once the tick is removed, immediately apply anti-infectious, anti-viral and immune stimulating oils such as Thyme, Oregano, Clove, Tea Tree or Thieves.
Before using essential oils on your animals, you should make sure to read the individual labels of each oil you intend to use. Some essential oils are "hot" oils (February Issue) and may need to be diluted with a carrier oil (February Issue). Other essential oils (like citrus oils) can cause photosensitivity, so caution should be heeded when using them if you or your animals are going to be outside in sunlight. Many essential oils can be used with direct application (March Issue) to help repel pests. Expose your animal to each individual essential oil prior to using it on them (April Issue) to see if they are accepting of it. Natural insect repellent needs to be reapplied frequently for best results.

A judge in Chicago refuses to grant The Game a new trial.
(AllHipHop News) The Game's sexual assault case from 2015 continues to haunt him.
On Friday, a federal judge in Chicago denied a new trial for the Los Angeles rapper due to his history of not showing up to court.
Game, real name Jayceon Terrell Taylor, was sued by Priscilla Rainey during the filming of "She's Got Game," a reality show that aimed to find him a new girlfriend.
U.S. District Judge Gary Feinerman closed the door on the rapper's request for a new trial.


Will Black work for a Custom Ugly Sweater?
When it comes to custom ugly sweaters, the popular choices are red and blue and green. That said, a lot of companies would love to try black but feel a little unsure as to whether it will work for an ugly sweater.
Black can look brilliant as a custom ugly sweater and it really comes down to the design. If you're opting for a slogan or a jingle on the sweater, the white font against the black looks amazing and works really well so if you do decide to opt for black, we really recommend the use of white in the design.
If black may be too much of a commitment for the first custom ugly sweater option, navy is a fantastic color to use.
The above sweaters are a very dark navy and you'll see how that works with the design and in particular how it makes the design stand out. It also works really well for mascots and characters on custom ugly sweaters.
If you're still unsure of black/navy please discuss your design options with us. Don't forget you can opt for two tone or color blocking if you'd like to introduce black into your custom ugly sweater design but don't want full black knitwear.

REVIEW: BIRDS OF TOKYO WITH THE WA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
Features Opinion
Sheldon Ang
Photo credit: Sheldon Ang Photography
Around The Sound recently sent Sheldon Ang and his trusty Box Brownie to the Perth Concert Hall in search of Birds of Tokyo and the WA Symphony Orchestra, this is what happened…
The Conductor weaves her wand like a protagonist of a JK Rowling classic, orchestrating a magical spell of an acoustic sensation.
The bows slide up and down, sideways and under, intuitively synchronising with the other members in an acoustic orgy of mesmerisation.
The beautiful world of physics comes into action tonight with the wave energy of strings transmitting through the bridge and into the body of the instrument, casting the wonderment of classical sounds across a hall so rich in history. And so it seems, the lights from the above are hypnotised by the magic wand as they dance gracefully while painting awed faces with their spectrum of brilliant colours.
Second by second, the music grows, as if the audio and optical displays are teasing each other in this four-minute chapter, finally culminating in the tenor vocals from centre stage, "Brace for the end…of everyday disillusion… we're seconds away… from critical retribution", climaxing with an orgasmic shiver during the dramatic rendition of Brace…
For fans of the Perth-based Birds of Tokyo, the preconceived notion of such a nonconforming fusion with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra wasn't too surprising, but they were still quite blown by the spectacle.
For the curious – and especially for this writer, tonight's performance at the Perth Concert Hall was a celestial experience, a journey that's likely to remain in the subconscious memory bank for quite some time.
The night was sparked into life with the rousing WASO performance of Uno/Broken. Hardly a word was uttered by the crowd, who sat mesmerised by the stage centrepiece and compelling blue lights sweeping across the floor. A minute into this foreplay, the Birds graced the stage, to the polite rapture of the fans who were mindful of not puncturing the mood ignited by the engine room.
For the occasional fan, Plans was a familiar sound, coming second into the setlist. A smash hit that was recorded for the self-titled third album, which remains their most successful single to date – peaking at number 11 on the Australian Singles chart, subsequently nominated for ARIA Song of The Year in 2010.
The effect was poised and poignant, overriding the alternative rock that the Birds are known for, with the fluid vocals of Ian Kenny oozing a soothing, tingling effect.
Other commercial favourites were Good Lord, Two of Us, I'd Go With You Anywhere before closing with Lanterns. Vanessa Scammell, the conductor for the night stood imperiously and elegantly on centre stage, leading the charge with her cast of musicians on violin, viola, cello, double bass, horn, trumpet, trombone, bass trombone, timpani, percussion and harp. And if it wasn't for the brilliant vocals of Kenny, we would've forgotten that tonight was about WASO supporting the Bird of Tokyo. One key omission was guitarist Adam Spark – presumably stuck in the eastern states, with keyboardist Glenn Sarangapany taking the opportunity to shine as the multi-instrumentalist for the night.
A spectator next to me by the name of "Nadia" asked, Did the Birds of Tokyo originally record with an orchestra for their album? No, said I. I think they should she replied.
That is not to say that the Birds of Tokyo is mind-numbing on their own – far from it based on the feedback from their recent performance at Fremantle Prison a week prior, and from the legions of fans across Australia. But tonight, the Birds took flight, into the stratosphere, thanks to crescendos and diminuendos, the dynamic, cueing beat and tempo orchestrated by the Western Australia Symphony Orchestra.
Metallica, KISS and many bands have experimented with this concept. If cost is not an issue, every band and artist should flirt with the musical symbiosis at least once in their lifetime.
Consider it as a musical pilgrimage.

"Multigenerational Wealth Is Best Hidden": What Doesn't Donald Trump Want You To Know About His Wealth?
This is what Donald Trump's refusal to release his tax returns says about America. We are a nation that can't think straight about wealth and class. And Trump knows better than to puncture our delusions.
The American psyche is hyper-attuned to the trinkets of the wealthy: the right car, the right brand of clothes, the right vacation spots. We flatter ourselves with our circumscribed access to these status goods — or perhaps we only dream of that access — but we fail to understand that they do not equate to real wealth.
The very rich are different from you and me. They have something we never will: the power of money. Their money is the kind that doesn't go away with a divorce, an extended sickness, a dip in the markets or even the death of a high income earner. Theirs is the kind that owns politicians and the laws they make.
Real wealth, the multigenerational kind, is best hidden. And even though a tax return won't reveal all there is to know, it will reveal enough.
Trump told the Associated Press this week that nothing would be released until the government is through with its audit of him. The next day, Wednesday, he hedged a smidgeon to Fox News, saying he'd like to release the returns before the election. Don't bet on that happening.
For one thing, if we were able to see how Trump's fortune is structured and how much tax he pays on it, we would also be able to compute his liability under his proposed changes to the tax code. In other words, we would be able to approximate how much Trump stands to earn for himself and his heirs by pulling the strings of power. Is it any surprise he won't go there?
Let's take a closer look at the tax plan that he unveiled last fall. Plenty of experts have already done so.
As part of his populist appeal, Trump envisions simplifying the tax code and dismissing about 73 million households from paying any tax at all (most of those are already not paying). Those families will be able to submit a form to the IRS that says, "I win." Yes, that is really his plan.
The cuts would lower taxes for people all income levels. But the Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan but right-leaning watchdog group, noted "the biggest winners — in raw dollars and on a percentage basis — would be those in the top 10 percent of filers, particularly those in the top 1 percent."
The top marginal rate for individuals would drop from 39.6 percent to 25 percent. The corporate rate would drop from 35 percent to 15 percent. He would do away with the estate tax. That adds up a lot of lost revenue — about $10 trillion over a decade, according to the Tax Foundation
Trump claims that the tax cuts would be made up for by closing some loopholes for the wealthy and corporations. But the Tax Foundation crunched the numbers and has deemed this to be wishful thinking. Severe cuts to spending would be necessary to avoid crushing growth in the national debt.
Wishful thinking is Trump's stock in trade. Indeed, some speculate that another reason why he does not want the public to see his tax return is that his boasted wealth is squishier than he'd like to admit. Trump is notorious for overstating his attributes, and when it comes to his wealth he is especially touchy.
He sued former New York Times reporter Timothy O'Brien over the latter's book, "TrumpNation: The Art of Being the Donald," which questioned Trump's net worth. The book also explored if Trump convinced his siblings to borrow on his behalf from their trust funds to save him from financial ruin in the early 1990s. Trump's lawsuit against O'Brien was dismissed.
Still, Trump is clearly rich to an extent most Americans cannot imagine. Oddly — and sadly — many tout this as an alluring quality. He's so rich he can't be bought, they say. This attitude reveals a pathetic inability to understand plutocracy, and its growing threat to our democracy. Americans continue to be suckered into unrealistic beliefs about their ability to upgrade their social class. Meanwhile, the policies and programs that are necessary to promote middle-class security are toppling one after another.
Donald Trump is not going to share his wealth with you, dear voter, or help you get rich on your own. He can't. What worked for Trump will not work for you. His trick was the oldest one in the book: Have a rich daddy. And keep it in the family.

"Did He Pay Anything At All?": Donald Trump Says He Won't Release Tax Returns
Months after he said he would release his tax returns, Republican frontrunner Donald Trump has decided that the American public doesn't need to see how much (or little) he has paid in taxes until after the November elections, marking a shift in the vague promises he previously made to release the records to the public.
He solidified his position in an interview published by the Associated Press today, in which he said that "there's nothing to learn from them." Trump has also claimed that he is in the process of being audited by the IRS, and that releasing his returns for the year under audit would be imprudent, despite the agency confirming that being audited doesn't legally interfere at all with the ability to release one's tax records.
As far back as October 2015, Trump promised to release his tax documents. "I'm not going to say it, but at some point I'll release it," he said at the time. In that same interview, he also said, "I pay as little as possible, I'm very proud to tell you."
In January, Trump said again that he would release his taxes soon. "We're working on that now. I have big returns, as you know, and I have everything all approved and very beautiful and we'll be working that over in the next period of time," he said. Months later, they still haven't been released.
Then again on May 8, just days before his announcement that he wouldn't release his returns, he said, "Sure. If the auditors finish. I'll do it as fast as the auditors finish.You don't learn much from tax returns. But I would love to give the tax returns. But I can't do it until I'm finished with the audit."
But how little does Trump actually pay in taxes? David Cay Johnston, who spent three decades covering Trump as he moved from one business venture to another, noted that in 1978 and 1979 the businessman had paid exactly $0 in taxes.
He further explained how wealthy Americans like Trump use the tax code to their advantage, writing:
It's all about tax rules that require you to depreciate, or reduce, the value of buildings over time, even if the market value of the structures is going up. If your depreciation is greater than your traditional income from work and businesses, Congress lets you report negative income. If these paper losses are just a dollar more than traditional income, it wipes out your income taxes for the year.
If Trump's returns show he has paid no income taxes in some years, that could be a reason he has not yet released details.
Congress says most Americans can deduct no more than $25,000 of real estate depreciation against their income. But if you work two days a week managing real estate and own enough that the depreciation exceeds your salary and other income, Congress lets you live income-tax-free. And for as long as you keep buying buildings and depreciating them, the tax does not come due.
There are numerous reasons why Trump wouldn't want to release his taxes. First, he has amassed his fortune partly by using tax loopholes that allowed him to effectively pay no income tax for years — possibly up to the present day. More recently, he changed his tune, saying, "I am willing to pay more, and you know what, the wealthy are willing to pay more." America should be thankful Trump wants to pay more than… whatever he's currently paying. It could be nothing at all.
Second, the tax returns could show that he has far less money than he claims. This possibility was seized upon by anti-Trump Republicans who have tried to coerce Trump into releasing his returns. During the opening shots of the fight against the racist billionaire's takeover of the party, Mitt Romney raised the possibility, saying, "Either he's not anywhere near as wealthy as he says he is, or he hasn't been paying the kind of taxes we would expect him to pay."
There is evidence to back up Romney's claim. Forbes calculated Trump's worth to be $4.5 billion at most. "Trump has filed statements claiming he's worth at least $10 billion or, as he put in a press release, TEN BILLION DOLLARS (capitalization his). After interviewing more than 80 sources and devoting unprecedented resources to valuing a single fortune, we're going with a figure less than half that–$4.5 billion, albeit still the highest figure we've ever had for him."
Even harder to explain is the jump in Trump's cash-on-hand. The National Review wrote that his organization showed documentation for cash and cash equivalents of $307 million in 2014. This year, that number jumped up to $793 million, sans documentation, making it difficult to believe that he actually has that much money. "I'm running for President," said Trump in an interview with Forbes. "I'm worth much more than you have me down [for]. I don't look good, to be honest. I mean, I look better if I'm worth $10 billion than if I'm worth $4 billion."
Trump's obstruction has not only served his purposes, but that of his likely rival, Hillary Clinton. During the Democratic debate in Brooklyn last month, she responded to a question about her speech transcripts with a criticism of other presidential candidates, namely Trump, who didn't release their tax returns.
"There are certain expectations when you run for president," said Clinton. "This is a new one but I will tell you this, there is a longstanding expectation that everybody running release their tax returns."

Q: Trigger an HTML button click through objective-c? My goal is to send an HTTP request to a web server, giving it a username and password. I got that part down, and it surprisingly worked. But, the thing is, to actually login a "login" button has to be clicked. This has completely stumped me??
NSLog(@"Connection started");
        NSURL *loginPage = [NSURL URLWithString:@"www.A_WEBSITE.com"];
        ASIFormDataRequest *request = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:loginPage];
        [request setRequestMethod:@"POST"];
        [request setPostValue:@"Username" forKey:@"ct100_plnMain_txtLogin"];
        [request setPostValue:@"Password" forKey:@"ct100_plnMain_txtPassword"];

        [request start];

        NSLog(@"it worked");
        [request setDidFailSelector:@selector(AttemptFail:)];
        [request setDidFinishSelector:@selector(AttemptSucceed)];

        NSError *error = [request error];
        if (!error) {
            NSString *response = [request responseString];
            NSLog(@"%@",response);
                    }

            else {
                NSLog(@"%@",[request error]);
            }

Does anyone know of a way I could trigger the click event on the button, given I have its ID?

A: Use js to send a request and verify it by:
- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType;

A: [UIWebView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"functionName()"];

write functionName() method in html file within <script> tag and perofrm action of button click
