White tigers have white or almost white fur, and their unique coloration is caused by a recessive gene.
There aren't many white tigers left in the wild due to over-hunting of their pelts, and they are considered an endangered species.
White tigers are a rare sight, and their eye-catching whiteness puts them at a disadvantage when they're trying to sneak up on prey.
However, the place where a white coat would be an advantage is in a zoo, and more than a hundred white tigers live in various zoos around the world.
All of them are the descendants of a white cub that was caught in India in 1951 and given to the National Zoo in Washington, D.C.
Unfortunately, the white tigers on display are the result of severe inbreeding of siblings, cousins, and parents mated to their own cubs.
This single-minded determination on the part of humans to have a supply of the crowd-pleasing white tigers has resulted in deformities like back problems, hip dislocation, and crossed eyes.
Because of these genetic problems, hundreds of cubs have had to be destroyed along the way.
Currently, there are only a few thousand white tigers left in the wild.
These are the hazards of show business.
How many Camels are there Left in the Wild and How many are Extinct or Endangered?

These 5 gender equity events impacted the U.S. economy in 2022. Addressing them in 2023 could unlock a $3.1 trillion opportunity
BYKatica Roy
January 4, 2023, 1:18 PM UTC
Women's workforce participation hasn't recovered since the pandemic–but men want to spend more time with their families.
When we talk about gender equity, we often forget to talk about the impact it has on the economy. Yes, the pandemic stung women the hardest, for which we (carelessly and relentlessly) blame childcare or the paucity of paid maternity leave.
However, we often forget to mention how the pandemic has obliterated decades of progress toward gender equity, thus draining $3.1 trillion from our economy.
We are still crawling back from this 12-figure blow. So before we rush into another year, let's reflect on five major gender equity events from 2022 and see how each of them cut straight through the economy.
Women's labor force participation has been stunted
Women's labor force participation dropped to 57.8% in November, and there are still 1.8 million women missing from the labor force since the start of the pandemic.
If we brought those 1.8 million women back into the labor force, we could close the worker-to-open-job gap by nearly 23% and temper inflation. If we went even further and sealed off the gender gap in the U.S. labor force completely, our economy would be $1.789 trillion stronger. (Labor force equity is one key factor to unlocking gender equity's $3.1 trillion potential. We also need equity in other facets of the economy, such as pay equity and educational equity.)
The jobs of the future are leaving women behind
Gender inequity in STEM continues to rage on. Only 1.66% of women university graduates study Information and Communication Technologies compared to 8.22% of men.
We must continue to bridge the gender gap in the jobs of the future, otherwise, women, businesses, and our economy will be left behind. A Pipeline study across 4,161 companies in 29 countries found that for every 10% increase in gender equity, revenues increase by 1 to 2%.
Besides, infusing gender equity in advanced technologies would shield us from the life-altering harms of biased A.I. As it stands, women hold fewer than 33% of all data and A.I. roles and fewer than 15% of all cloud computing jobs. We need a more representative sample of the population to ideate, engineer, and operate the machine learning systems that decide who gets a job interview, who gets a car loan, and who gets a prison sentence.
Pay equity worsens
The gender pay gap widened on average by five cents due to the pandemic. That backsliding comes at a time of record-high inflation, which saw prices rising twice as fast for women's goods and services as men's.
These two seismic forces accentuated the sting of the pink tax: not only do women have even less money coming into their wallets this year, but they also have even more money going out.
Prior to the pandemic, gender pay equity represented a $512 billion opportunity for the U.S. economy. At the time, closing the gender pay equity gap would have lifted 50% more working women out of poverty, which would have been a boon for the 70% of the U.S. economy derived from consumer spending and the taxpayers who foot the bill for social welfare recipients.
More men are spending time as fathers
The percentage of first-time fathers who took paid parental leave rose from 10.8% in 1980 to 38.3% in 2020–a 255% increase.
Creating stigma-free pathways for fathers to engage more with their households improves outcomes for everyone. A gender-neutral allocation of household labor would increase output per hour by 5.4%, freeing families up to spend more time together.
Women were underrepresented at climate change talks
Women make up 38% of all national delegates in discussions of perhaps the most pressing global issue: climate change. That's up from 30% in 2009.
At the Conference of the Party gatherings (COP), women make up only 13% of delegation leaders, up from 10% in 2009.
Gender inequity in this realm harms the planet as much as it harms the people living in it. Women are more likely than men to sign international treaties on climate resolutions, meaning more women in power seats would help mitigate the 18% global GDP write-off that's expected if climate apathy continues.
To expedite our journey toward gender equity, we need a three-pronged approach.
Businesses must erase structural inequity by using advanced technology to de-bias the employee lifecycle. Elected officials should efficiently and effectively allocate resources by applying the gender lens to policy solutions. And the media have a duty to inspire a new vision of what it means to "be a man" or "be a woman" by rewriting stale gender narratives.
It's not enough to admire or even agonize over the problem of inequity. We are sitting on a $3.1 trillion economic opportunity in the US alone. It's time to move the needle on gender equity.

Q: how to add new firebase emulators to my existing project? so I already have some firebase emulators running on my project (auth, functions and firestore emulators).
if I run firebase emulators:start then I will have this 2 messages in my terminal

i  emulators: Starting emulators: auth, functions, firestore

⚠ functions: The following emulators are not running, calls to these
services from the Functions emulator will affect production: database,
hosting, pubsub

now I want to add pubsub emulator to my current project, how to do that? I  use NodeJS

A: just open your firebase.json file and then you can add or remove the value in the json file as you need
firebase.json file is located in the same hierarchy as your functions folder (outside your functions folder)
see the documentation in here
"emulators": {
    "firestore": {
      "port": "8080"
    },
    "ui": {
      "enabled": true,
      "port": 4000
    },
    "auth": {
      "port": "9099"
    },
    "functions": {
      "port": "5001"
    },
    "database": {
      "port": "9000"
    },
    "hosting": {
      "port": "5000"
    },
    "pubsub": {  // add this if you want to add pubsub emulator
      "port": "8085"
    }
  }

the CLI will then automatically download the emulators after you run firebase emulators:start

A: firebase init emulators
Runs the wizard to set up your wizard. Hit enter a bunch of times for the default ports.

That injects into your firebase.json file

G.711 ist eine Richtlinie der ITU-T zur Digitalisierung analoger Audiosignale mittels Puls-Code-Modulation (PCM). Einsatzbereiche dieses Codecs sind die klassische Festnetz-Telefonie und IP-Telefonie im A-law- oder μ-law-Digitalisierungsverfahren (PCMA bzw. PCMU).

Bei G.711 wird in zeitlichen Schritten von 125 µs, dies entspricht einer Abtastrate von 8000 Hz, jeweils ein Sample des Audiosignals erzeugt. Das Sample wird dabei verlustbehaftet auf 8 bit komprimiert. Der generierte Datenstrom hat eine Datenübertragungsrate von 8000 Hz × 8 bit = 64 kbit/s. Die höchste Frequenz des analogen Signals darf nach dem Nyquist-Shannon-Abtasttheorem maximal 4000 Hz betragen. Nach G.711 wird nur der Frequenzbereich von 300 bis 3400 Hz bei der Digitalisierung codiert. Zur anschließenden nichtlinearen Codierung des Digitalsignals werden zwei verschiedene Verfahren für die Quantisierung verwendet: In Europa das A-law-, in Nordamerika und Japan das µ-law-Verfahren. Wegen des Overheads werden für die IP-Übertragung von G.711-Sprachkanälen Datenübertragungsraten von 80 kbit/s bis 128 kbit/s benötigt.

Einsatz
G.711 ist eine von vielen Codierungen bei IP-Telefonie (VoIP) und wird bei ISDN eingesetzt. Die Sprachqualität eines VoIP-Telefonats mit G.711 entspricht daher derjenigen von ISDN. In der Einordnung des Mean Opinion Score (MOS) erreicht G.711 einen Wert von 4,4. Der MOS ermittelt das subjektive Empfinden der Sprachqualität eines Benutzers. Damit erreicht G.711 eine höhere subjektive Sprachqualität als die meisten anderen Codecs, wie G.726 und G.729. Diese haben dafür den Vorteil, dass durch Datenkompression eine geringere Datenübertragungsrate benötigt wird.

"The Outcast of Refugees": Actor F. Murray Abraham and The Multifaith Alliance for Syrian Refugees speak out
Posted by Leila Elaqad on May 31, 2016 in Blog
While Syrian refugees make up 25% of the global refugee population, only .003% of refugees admitted into the U.S. since 2011 have been Syrian. Many congress members, as well as Multifaith Alliance members, addressed this often overlooked disparity to a packed room at a Hill briefing on May 17.
"The worst humanitarian crisis since my parents and I fled Hungary after the Holocaust." - Georgette Bennett
Bennett is the president and founder of the Multifaith Alliance for Syrian Refugees. As she described the Syrian refugee situation to congressional staffers, she pressed, in a firm voice, for the admission of greater numbers of Syrian refugees into the U.S.
"It is not right for me to ignore the cries of those suffering." – Dr. Shadi Martini
Martini was the general manager of a hospital in Aleppo. Risking violent consequences, he refused to deny medical care to those injured by the Syrian Army. After one soldier made it clear "we're not shooting them so you can save their lives," Martini fled Syria. Today, he is a U.S. citizen and Senior Syria Advisor to the Multifaith Alliance. One has to wonder, if people like Martini can risk their lives to help Syrian war victims, then why can't the American people welcome them with open arms?
"This is not who we are, this does not reflect our values as Americans" – Rep. David Cicilline
Cicilline (D-RI-1), who has visited the homes of Syrian refugee families resettled into his district, addressed the idea that we should only be admitting Syrian Christians. This idea, he said, "runs against our principles as a country."
"We have allowed voices of suspicion and hatred and bigotry to turn some of us away from our long-standing commitment to being a beacon of light and a place of safe haven for refugees." - Rep. Zoe Lofgren
Lofgren (D-CA-19) told the story of the U.S. turning away an entire boatload of Jews fleeing Nazi Germany, many of them later killed in concentration camps. She noted that until just recently, there's been a "bipartisan consensus" to provide a safe haven for refugees.
"People do not come here making false claims. People come here because they see America as a place where they can seek protection." – Rep. Luis Gutiérrez
Gutiérrez (D-IL-4) pointed out that murderers, rapists and drug traffickers always have legal representation, meanwhile their victims who come to our shores do not. He also noted that, when they do, they win 9 out of ten cases.
"If fear of admitting terrorists is what keeps people from supporting the entry of more refugees to the United States there are simply No. Grounds. For. This." - Sen. Ed Markey
Markey (D-MA) also addressed the myth of criminals posing as refugees, underscoring the rigorous security screenings that refugees go through.
How Arab Americans Can Help
When I asked the panel what Arab Americans can do to help Syrian refugees, Oscar winner, Homeland actor and MFA member F. Murray Abraham replied that we should display pride for our heritage. He noted that immigrants are hiding their identities and too many Arab Americans are afraid to use their names. Abraham asserted that, in order to fight the stigma that makes Syrian refugees the "outcast of refugees," Arab Americans must fight that stigma by showing their neighbors that we are proud to be Arab and we are Americans.

Hip-Hop was born as a live format. For years, DJs and MCs' sole focus was literally to move the crowd. Over the years, as acts began to lay their rhymes on wax, the art of performing began to take a backseat to records, video production and other aspects of the music. To be sure, there are still performers like The Roots, Common, Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole, to name a few, who still put on great shows, but it has become increasingly rare.
Last night, at A3C 2017 in Atlanta, however, Rah Digga put on a performance filled with the rugged and raw energy of the best shows. Digga followed strong outings by Lyric Jones, Shabaam Sahdeeq and others, but when she stepped to the stage, she owned it. The Newark, New Jersey MC began with a verse over the thunderous beat Just Blaze cooked up for JAY-Z on "P.S.A." From there, she ripped through a number of party-starters from her Flipmode and Dirty Harriet days.
As pleasing as those selections were to the crowd, the energy went to another level when Digga reached into her bag of tricks and pulled out a couple of more recent tracks. 2014's "Angela Davis," with its message of empowerment and the need for MCs to take more pride in their craft, was particularly resonant in an era where lyricism has been pushed to the background. "Call me Angela Davis / In my all black floating through the Matrix / They like, 'Digga, can you save us?' / When did lyricism escape us?," she rapped.
A3C 2017 continues through October 8, when Nas takes the stage to close out the festival.
#BonusBeat: Rah Digga's lost album Everything Is A Story, featuring production by J Dilla, Just Blaze, Hi-Tek, Large Professor, DJ Scratch, No I.D., Scott Storch, Jake One, and more, and guest verses from Ghostface Killah, Mobb Deep, Fabolous, Snoop Dogg, Lloyd Banks, B.R., Joe Budden, and others.
Digga self-released the longtime shelved LP, intended for J Records in the early 2000s.

CES 2012 - Long before SandForce, Marvell or even Intel were churning out SSD controllers MemoRight was breaking new ground on the SSD frontier.
We've been reviewing their products for several years now and always found MemoRight SSDs to be of the highest quality no matter what controller was used.
A big reason for the high quality coming from MemoRight is their military division, products designed for use in aircraft, marine and in infantry platforms. Here we see a military class SSD with several surface mount capacitors. MemoRight explains this as like having a UPS built into each drive.
On the consumer side of things MemoRight has the new HT Series with a new MemoRight controller. The speed isn't as fast as you may be used to with the new SATA III drives but this drive is a lot more about capacity.
The model we were shown has a massive 768GB of user capacity! That is amazing storage space for a solid state 2.5" drive.

Singapore – Wednesday, The Hypothesis is . . .
By: Phil Gibbs, Principal, The Disruption Lab
Sometimes it is more difficult to write when you have too much to say rather than too little. We went from setting the context for understanding innovation in Singapore on Monday to diving in on Tuesday to fighting the riptide of information overload on Wednesday. Much of the detail will have to wait, but today was focused on the Singapore startup community along with a visit with one of Singapore's healthcare innovation leaders. Here are three quick observations:
"The hypothesis is . . ."
The Woodlands Health Campus is a new 1800 bed integrated health campus that is being developed and will feature many innovative approaches to care delivery. We met with Dr. Stephen Chan who is providing leadership in the areas of innovation and information for the launch of the hospital. Twice in our discussion with Dr. Chan, he used the phrase, "The hypothesis is . . ." which reflected a deep grounding in improvement and innovation. Most of us tend to say, "Our approach to that . . ." or "Our solution for that is . . ." Experienced innovators start with a hypothesis, not a solution. It requires an understanding of process improvement, the PDSA experimentation methodology, the work of W. Edwards Deming, Lean, and other foundations of innovation, as Dr. Chan confirmed when questioned about his use of the phrase. Anyone just starting with innovation projects without this foundation is like treating a physical symptom without a foundation in medicine.
Startups at Scale and at Lunch
We started the day at the Jurong Innovation District (JID) which is one of two large, integrated innovation districts. We learned about JTC Launchpad and the Action Community for Entrepreneurship (ACE). Singapore essentially has innovation ecosystems of ecosystems. Simply take a look at the image at the top, which is the lunch crowd at JID to get a feel for the scope of the startup and innovation community in this global city.
When the CEO is the "Search Engine" Behind the Bot
We ended the day meeting with Dot Koh, Founder and CEO of Bot MD, a startup addressing the exponential growth of medical knowledge and the physician's access to the information. Bot MD has been through Y Combinator and includes iconic Silicon Valley entrepreneur and Lean Startup founder Steve Blank as an investor. Dot's story is every entrepreneur's story. The earliest versions of the product, before it was really even a product, included Dot being the search engine. When someone would inquire, she would do a Google search to come up with the response. Such is the life of an innovator and entrepreneur. By the way, their competition is IBM Watson with its thousands of employees. It would be a mistake to underestimate Bot MD in this competition!
More to follow about Wednesday's information overload.
Phil is the founding Principal of The Disruption Lab, where he focuses on disruptive innovation and corporate growth. For over a decade, he led Executive Learning, one of the country's leading firms supporting continual improvement (sustaining and efficiency innovation), particularly in healthcare, and including work with industry leader HCA and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI).
His entrepreneurial experience includes co-founding multiple companies, including E|SPACES and LifeFilez. In addition to his startup experience, Phil has served as a principal in an early-stage investment firm and worked in/consulted with multiple large organizations, including the Oak Ridge National Laboratory early in his career. His interest in innovation began with his doctoral research at The Ohio State University focused on understanding how organizations achieve both high productivity and high innovation.

Singapore – Tuesday, A Day of Contrasts
Singapore – Thursday, Innovation in Government, Aviation and Healthcare


Hours after BJP won the Gujarat Assembly elections, chants of "Ab ki baar Karnataka (it's time for Karnataka)" rent the air at the party headquarters in Ahmedabad. At the same time, the Congress in Karnataka dubbed the BJP's loss in seat share in their leader's home state as a moral boost for it ahead of three crucial Assembly elections, including Karnataka, due sometime in April 2018.
In short, the post-Gujarat politics in Karnataka has been so far limited to a contest between Congress and BJP. However, unlike Gujarat, Karnataka has a strong, third political party. Janata Dal (Secular) is hopeful of becoming the kingmaker in Karnataka in the upcoming election.
A pre-poll survey conducted by Suvarna News claimed that neither the Congress nor the BJP will get a clear majority. Of the 224 seats, the pre-poll prediction gave 88 to Congress, 82 to BJP, 43 to JD(S) and 11 to others.
As per the numbers, JD(S) will get close to 20 percent of the vote share. With neither party getting majority, a coalition government could be a possible outcome, gifting JD(S) the bargaining power.
Why is a coalition government a strong possibility? The answer is in the change of structure of the leading political parties. The internal differences in the BJP had played a huge role in the Congress getting a majority in 2013 — Yeddyurappa, the most senior leader in Karnataka BJP, had split from the party to form a new outfit, Karnataka Janata Dal (KJP), dividing the BJP's vote bank.
Yeddyurappa (L) and Siddaramaiah (R).
As the large Lingayat and Vokkaliga vote banks were split between BJP and KJP, Congress's Siddaramaiah gained a majority with votes from Dalits, backward classes and other minorities.
But in 2017, Yeddyurappa is back with the BJP and the party's vote bank seems consolidated once again. In the new powerplay, the chance of any party getting a clear majority is considered unlikely.
Even though a coalition government is an option, both Congress and BJP would rather not have it. The reason is that both parties have had bitter experiences while running coalition governments with JD(S) in the past.

Coalition with Congress: Following the 2004 Assembly elections, BJP had emerged as the single largest party in Karnataka with 79 seats, followed by the Congress with 65 and the JD(S) which won 58 seats. Congress and JD(S) struck a deal to form a coalition government. Despite JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy bargaining for the chief minister's post, he was given the deputy chief minister's post and Congress's Dharam Singh was made the chief minister.
After 19 months, the coalition began to crumble. Several reasons were given for the fallout, including Congress's attempt to poach current chief minister Siddaramiah, who was then a part of JD(S); Congress not entering a coalition with JD(S) for the local body elections; and rumours that the Congress was planning to go in for a midterm election.
Coalition with BJP: After 19 months of rule, JD(S) withdrew its support for Congress and the JD(S) MLAs were flown to a resort in Goa. Within a few days, a new deal was reached between BJP and JD(S) to form a new government.
As per the deal, the chief ministership was to be shared between Kumaraswamy and BS Yeddyurappa for an equal period of time. The first chance at chief ministership was given to Kumarswamy, while Yeddyurappa served as his deputy.
As part of a power-sharing agreement, Kumaraswamy was to leave the post of chief minister on 3 October 2007. But when the time came, he refused. This forced Yeddyurappa and all the ministers from his party to resign and on 5 October, the BJP formally withdrew support to the Kumaraswamy government.
Karnataka came under President's rule, which was revoked on 7 November after JD(S) and the BJP decided to continue with the alliance and make Yeddyurappa the chief minister. Yeddyurappa was sworn in on 12 November 2007 as the Chief Minister of Karnataka, he remained in the post for 7 days, as JD(S) withdrew its support.
Will There Be Another Coalition?
In a recent interview, Kumaraswamy had claimed that he will not form a coalition government with the BJP again. While all three parties are claiming they would win a majority, in case of a hung House, it is likely that a coalition will be formed between the Congress and JD(S). The current chief minister being a former JD(S) man gives more probability to this option. However, Kumaraswamy has been training his guns against Siddaramaiah ahead of the elections.
While poll results are far away, JD(S) has begun its campaign. Apart from hoping to gain from its usual strongholds of rural Bengaluru, Mandya and Mysuru, Kumaraswamy has been appealing to the Veerashaivas and Kurubas to support his bid to become Chief Minister again.

The NMR signature of gluconoylation: a frequent N-terminal modification of isotope-labeled proteins View Full Text
David Schweida, Pierre Barraud, Christof Regl, Fionna E. Loughlin, Christian G. Huber, Chiara Cabrele, Mario Schubert
N-terminal gluconoylation is a moderately widespread modification in recombinant proteins expressed in Escherichia coli, in particular in proteins bearing an N-terminal histidine-tag. This post-translational modification has been investigated mainly by mass spectrometry. Although its NMR signals must have been observed earlier in spectra of 13C/15N labeled proteins, their chemical shifts were not yet reported. Here we present the complete 1H and 13C chemical shift assignment of the N-terminal gluconoyl post-translational modification, based on a selection of His-tagged protein constructs (CCL2, hnRNP A1 and Lin28) starting with Met-Gly-...-(His)6. In addition, we show that the modification can hydrolyze over time, resulting in a free N-terminus and gluconate. This leads to the disappearance of the gluconoyl signals and the appearance of gluconate signals during the NMR measurements. The chemical shifts presented here can now be used as a reference for the identification of gluconoylation in recombinant proteins, in particular when isotopically labeled. More... »

The Big Short is directed by Adam Mckay and tells the story of four men who predict the housing collapse of 2008. The Big Short is a very clever film and very educational to those to the likes of me. I won't personally go and see it it was a very complexed filmed that tackle some very adult ideas. Whilst the majority of this film went over my head, I still found a great deal of it very interesting.
Steve Carell was very good however and showed audience members a new side to his acting abilites which I as well as others never knew was there, as well as Christian Bale who was also surprisingly good at the part he played.
Over all an okay film but I did respect it for what it was.

Q: Is there any way of disabling function folding on VSCode? I use VSCode with the Vim plugin just so I'm able to use vim keybindings inside VSCode. I also use the Explicit folding extension to choose folding markers of my choice on the code. Everything works fine except that the function folding is not disabled when I activate the marker folding with the Explicit folding extension.
The problem starts when I try to use these two Vim keybindings:
zM- closes all foldings recursively
zR- opens all foldings recursively

Since the function folding is not deactivated, it doesn't matter how I organize my foldings with markers, zM will close all functions together with my markers and that will make a mess with the code. I'd like to find a way of deactivating the function folding on VSCode and leaving only the marker folding... On the settings I found the following option:

But this option disables all foldings (functions and markers)... Is there any way of disabling only the function foldings?

A: It looks like the extension you linked says this in the documentation:
Auto Fold
You can define the automatic folding of the ranges with the property explicitFolding.autoFold (an enum, none by default).
Each rule can overwrite that property with its own property autoFold (a boolean, false by default).
So you can auto fold only the imports with:
"[javascript]": {
    "explicitFolding.rules": [
        {
            "beginRegex": "^import\\b",
            "whileRegex": "^(?:import\\b|\\/\\/)",
            "autoFold": true
        }
    ],
    "explicitFolding.autoFold": "none"
}

Could you use that functionality and put your desired markers in the explicitFolding.rules array?


In February 2018, Eric McNair released a CD album to critical acclaim. I was instantly ''WOWED'' by 'Pay Your Love Back', real instruments, retro production and of course Eric's silky smooth vocals! The track was picked out by those with gifted ears as being one of the best new sounds of the year. The natural next step was to release it on a 45, backed with another choice cut from the album.

Panmure House was a 17th-century country house in the Parish of Panbride, Angus, Scotland,  to the north of Carnoustie. It was the seat of the Earl of Panmure. It was rebuilt in the 19th century, and demolished in 1955.

History
The Panmure estate was inherited by the Maule family in 1224, and the remains of Panmure Castle are located close to the site of the house. Panmure House was designed by the king's master mason John Mylne, although he died in 1667, before it was completed. The client was George Maule, 2nd Earl of Panmure (1619–1671). On Mylne's death, the work was continued by Alexander Nisbet, an Edinburgh mason, and the interior was fitted out by James Bain, the king's wright. Sir William Bruce was sometimes credited with the design in the past, and he did apparently advise the Earl after Mylne's death, but he only designed the gates and gate piers. After the death of the 3rd Earl, his son James, now 4th Earl, added the wings. The 4th Earl was deprived of his titles and estates after taking part in the Jacobite rising of 1715, although Panmure passed to his relatives, the Earls of Dalhousie. In 1852–1855, the house was extended on the instigation of Fox Maule, by the architect David Bryce in the Scottish Baronial style.

In what has been called "one of the greatest acts of officially-sanctioned vandalism of its type in Scotland", Panmure House was requisitioned by the army in the Second world War and heavily vandalised, it was then deliberately fired and its remnants demolished in December 1955. The Panmure Testimonial, a  monument designed by John Henderson and erected in 1839 for William Maule, 1st Baron Panmure, remains on the estate, as does a stable block.

The actor Alan Cumming, grew up on the Panmure Estate, where his father was head forester.

Construction timeline
The construction of the Panmure House began in 1666. The main house was constructed from 1666 to 1670. The main structure of the building was composed of masonry. The roof, floor, windows and doors were installed by James Baine from 1668 to 1670. There are multiple accounts of the number of windows installed ranging from 67 to 100. The floor that was in the house was a broken jointed system which provided for a better finish than the other methods at this time. The roof structure was a coupled roof with rafters connected by collar beams and planking. The slating of the house took place from 1668 to 1670. Glazing took place from 1669 to 1670. The west gates were constructed of masonry in 1672. The stables were constructed between 1672 and 1675 along with the plastering of the principal rooms. Slating of the stables was done in 1675. Painting of the main house took place from 1671 to 1675. There was then a 10-year gap before the fitting out of the house took place from 1685 to 1686. This portion included washboards, paneling and lining, doors, mouldings, and architraves.

Latvian is the official state language of Latvia. Alternative names include Lettish and Lettisch. There are about 1.5 million native Latvian speakers in Latvia and about 150,000 abroad. The Latvian language has a relatively large number of non-native speakers, atypical for a small language. Because of language policy in Latvia approximately 60% of the 900,000 ethnic-minority population of Latvia speak Latvian. The use of the Latvian language in various areas of the social life in Latvia is increasing.
Latvian is a Baltic language and is most closely related to Lithuanian, although the two are not mutually intelligible. Latvian first appeared in Western print in the mid-16th century with the reproduction of the Lord's Prayer in Latvian in Sebastian Münster's Cosmographia Universalis, in Roman script.
There are three dialects in Latvian: the Livonian dialect, Latgalian and the Middle dialect. The Livonian dialect is divided into the Vidzeme variety and the Courland variety (also called t?mnieku or venti?u). The Middle dialect, the basis of standard Latvian, is divided into the Vidzeme variety, the Curonian variety and the Semigallian variety. Note: Latvian dialects should not be confused with the Livonian, Curonian, Semigallian and Selonian languages.

Layout designs - Text typically expands or contracts when translating one language to another. English to Latvian translations and Latvian to English translations, will contract or expand depending on the subject matter.
Which Latvian do you need for your translation?
Getting the Latvian translation of your documents right can be very tricky. Clearly there's only one Latvian language but as in most countries different sections of the population will have different ways of saying things. Your Account Manager will discuss the target market of your document with you. Clearly if your Latvian translation is aimed at teenagers it will need to use their phrases and maybe even slang. Missing these small issues can be the difference between a successful translation and a bad one.
With a large network of in-country, bilingual Latvian translator, WorldAccess Translations can respond quickly and effectively to your Latvian language translation needs. Our translation teams are professional linguists performing translation from English to Latvian and Latvian to English for a range of documents in various industries.

Home Business Out-of-State Cannabis Companies Look to Grow in Newly Legal States
Business, News, Politics
by Emily Overholt
January 11, 2021 12:18 pm ET
As new states have legalized medical cannabis, there is a mad dash for both local and major out-of-state businesses to secure licenses. As of Nov. 4, 2020, 36 states have legalized medical cannabis, though the newest two states to legalize do not have licensing application systems working yet.
Still, with well over half the country allowing medical cannabis sales, are these businesses helping local economies?
Some States Favor Experience in the Licensing Process
West Virginia legalized medical cannabis all the way back in 2017 but is just now tackling the licensing process for businesses. The Office of Medical Cannabis within the Department of Health and Human Resources announced on Oct. 2 the selection of 10 applicants for medical cannabis grower permits, largely favoring established out-of-state companies over local business people. Of the 10, only two appear to be exclusively West Virginia companies according to a search of business filings on the West Virginia Secretary of State's Office.
This issue isn't new. States that have had long-standing medical cannabis programs have allowed their local businesses to build better infrastructure, to try and test operation plans and to make mistakes before these newer application processes.
Jason Frame, director for West Virginia Office of Medical Cannabis told the Weirton Daily Times that when choosing the considered factors "like the operational plans that the facility submitted, their security plans, plans to prevent diversion, which of course is our primary mission with the Office Medical Cannabis, and also the background and education on the folks that will be working there also."
These backgrounds, it could be assumed, include scaling and operating major cannabis businesses previously, something that isn't available in states like North Dakota and Mississippi, where cannabis was a serious offense prior to 2021.
Some States Fight Back
While West Virginia may be favoring experience, some states are actively working to limit outside interests in their local medical cannabis. On May 21, Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt vetoed HB 3228, which featured a provision to protect dispensaries that had been licensed prior to when a 2019 bill established a 1,000-foot boundary around preschools, and would have authorized home delivery of medical marijuana products. But also, it would have overturned a residency requirement for cannabis businesses. With the veto, out-of-state operators are in a limbo where they don't know if they can operate their cannabis businesses in the new year.
After legalizing medical cannabis in 2018, Oklahoma legislators approved HB 2612. This bill established medical marijuana guidelines in state statute and changed the definition of what was considered a "resident" for purposes of commercial medical marijuana licenses. It required applicants to have lived in Oklahoma two years prior to applying or to have resided in the state at least five of the previous 25 years.
This residency requirement, enacted after licenses had been issued, is causing distress for many who moved to Oklahoma to get in on the green gold rush.
"A lot of people [moved and opened businesses] because [the state's] licensing scheme is so permissive. That is to say the barriers to entry are extraordinarily low as compared to basically any other jurisdiction with legal weed," Oklahoma City attorney Blake Johnson told NonDoc, an Oklahoma watchdog website. "Because of that, [Bill] 788 caused a huge rush of people to move to start a cannabis business in Oklahoma."
Johnson said legal challenges to the new residency requirement are expected, meaning Oklahoma could once again be open to outside interests in their medical marijuana ecosystem.
Local Owners Frustrated
This isn't an issue in West Virginia or Oklahoma alone and it also isn't a new complication. When Missouri began accepting licenses in 2019 competition was steep. Nearly 700 groups filed a total of 2,163 marijuana business applications in Missouri, again, a bulk of them out-of-state operations.
"There are rich men in suits coming from all over this country with bags full of cash," said Richard Rodriguez, a St. Louis restaurant owner who applied to open a dispensary, told the Associated Press in 2019. "I'm all for competing in a fair playing field. But that's not what appears to be happening here in Missouri."
As new states step up their licensing practices, they'll have to decide which path to take. An RCG Economics and Marijuana Policy Group study on Nevada says that legalizing recreational marijuana in the state could support over 41,000 jobs till 2024 and generate over $1.7 billion in labor income. Will those jobs and labor income be local, or will they go to public companies like Canopy Growth Corp. (CGC), Cronos Group Inc. (CRON), and Tilray Inc. (TLRY)?

"For the people, by the people, of the people" this famous definition of democracy was given by the former US President the great Abraham Lincoln. It is believed that the democratic form of goverment is the best form of administration in the world not because of the fact that its perfect but there isnt any better form upto now.
I here want to share some of my thoughts with democracy. I too believe that democracy is the best form compared to others, because in the pure form it maintain the philosophy "For the people, by the people, of the people". But i believe that nature have a set of fundamental rules, which we cant overrun, because we are living in the framework of nature.
I also believe that we should not get any resources freely for long time, we have to pay for everything we got.. For example mango tree may give mangoes freely for sometime, for which the payment is paid by nature; in the form of water and other resourses. but it will not give mangos in every seson, or even in the season itself may be because of drought, climate change, early rains etc... so if we want a continuous supply of mangos we have cultivate it, or we can say its the price we have to pay.
According to these rules i can classify democracy into two.1) Demoratic Republic based on marketing; 2) Democratic Republic based on Principles. In the first form; goverment offers new and new things to the people to get vote. We always wish a happy life, we want high quality in low prices.. In domocracy the goverment elected on the basis of the magority of elocrocolagal vote. So in order to get votes they have to give offers... and as we know its not a single party system so others have to give better offers if they want the power.
But there is a limitation which is placed by nature itself, and the laws of economics.. We have to pay the price for everything we got, nothing is/was/will be free in this beautiful world..If we want to buy a car then we have to pay the price for it, even if there are other ways xists to get it... it will not be free for ever, ultimately we have to pay for everything.
Suppose government do something in order to get vote or to satisfy the people violating the basics of economics and other basic laws of nature- it may be ok for a short term as there may be other resourses to be exploited- but in a long run the government may be unsuccessful to do so. But now people cant agree with the new terms because they enjoyed the benefits for a long term. and so it will ends in nothing but in a change of power and may be in some civil wars too..
Here is where good governernce came in to effect.. the goverment is formed for the benefit of people so they should concentrate on it.... but according to principles.. It is said that in forest animals hunts only to remove their hunger... neither for recreation nor as a sport;even if they are powerful to do so. But when they feel hunger they will start hunting.

Nigerian Rep-House To Ensure Constitution Amendment Provides For Inclusiveness, Unity – Speaker Gbajabiamila
...says 'Nigeria belongs to all of us'
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila, has said that the House would ensure that the ongoing constitution amendment produces a document that would entrench inclusiveness and unity among Nigerians.
Gbajabiamila said the efforts of the House would also put in place mechanisms for holding the institutions of state accountable and "put an end to the debilitating conflicts that continue to tear our nation apart."
Delivering the keynote address at the 112th Founder's Lecture of the King's College Old Boys Association (KCOBA) on Saturday in Lagos, with the theme 'Unity in Diversity, Stronger Together,' Gbajabiamila said Nigeria stands to achieve a lot when the citizens are united.
Gbajabiamila, who went down memory lane, said having inherited the union called Nigeria, "we have built it up and held it together. We accomplished this through joint effort over many years.
"We did it through citizens moving from one end of the country to another, acquiring education, building businesses, making friends, falling in love, and marrying. We did it through the joy of shared victories and the mourning of communal loss.
"We took ownership of our country by sacrificing blood, sweat and tears to secure democratic governance and make Nigeria into a place where grand visions can be made real by determined effort and where hope can thrive. As in the words of our old national anthem, we have made of this nation where 'though tribes and tongue may differ in brotherhood we stand'."
Gbajabiamila, who said "Nigeria belongs to all of us in equal measure," noted that "the creation of this union was divinely ordained. Therefore, it is our sacred duty as citizens of this great country to identify the purpose of this divine creation and give ourselves to those activities that will make real the divine purpose of our national union."
"In the House of Representatives, we are currently in the process of a substantive review of our nation's constitution. Our objective is to deliver a constitution that more effectively organises our politics to make it more inclusive, enshrine efficient mechanisms for holding the institutions of state to account and put an end to the debilitating conflicts that continue to tear our nation apart.
"We will not produce a perfect constitution; no such thing has ever existed in the world. However, together we can, by the choices we make and our actions, use our constitution as the foundational document of our nationhood to give life to the best promise of Nigeria."
He called for the buy-in and support of Nigerians, especially "credible voices from outside of government," for the House to succeed in achieving its objectives.
The Speaker said Nigeria's "unity is incumbent on our ability to do three things and do them well. The first is to ensure that the government respects, protects and guarantees the fundamental rights of all citizens, without exception.
"The second is to provide a society where our people are free from want and have the resources to pursue their dreams and achieve their best aspirations. The third is by freeing our people from the abject terror and accompanying limitations of wanton insecurity in all its forms.
"This is the pathway to a truly united Nigeria. A nation where our diversity is a source of strength, and we are not defined by the differences of tribe, tongue, religion and history. All of the above depends a lot on the quality of political leadership at all levels of government. It also depends on whether we are ready to have the difficult conversations about the realities of our country without recourse to easy tropes and comforting shibboleths."
He urged that" In our public and private lives, we must also make a conscious effort to reject the formulation of thought and actions that elevate every point of difference and disagreement into a seismic breaking of alliances.
"We cannot continue to assume and act in the assumption that every criticism, political action and governing decision, for good or bad, is the product of ethnic, religious or other such considerations. We need to begin once more to extend to ourselves the benefit of kindness and the assumption of good intentions. We are capable of this."

week ago, and that following Lyle's seven days' holiday, he would begin work next Monday August 13 to cover the northern region on a full time basis.
Explaining the decision, Corkell said: "Jim Cornelius had discussed with me the need to get two people out in the field. We needed to appoint someone quickly, and though others were mentioned, Tim Lyle got the vote. "Tim will be brilliant out in the field. He's done it before, when he worked for the SLA with Bill Adams, and he knows the people. I think Tim and Jim will work well together. They'll bounce ideas off each other."
Lambourn-based senior horseman Stacey, who attended last week's national committee meeting, alongside Corkell, confirmed that he had not been in contact with Jim Cornelius, who is unable to take up his post full time until September 3.
Lyle, a former TGWU official, applied for the role of chief executive, but did not make the ballot stage, at which ex-Unison regional organiser Jim Cornelius topped the 187-vote election from two "internal" candidates, George McGrath and Don Stacey.

Gazprom indefinitely suspends the development of the Shtokman deposit
Szymon Kardaś
On 29 August, Gazprom announced the indefinite suspension of its plan to develop the Shtokman deposit, which is located on the Russian continental shelf in the Barents Sea. A representative of the company stated that the main reason for this decision was the project's excessively high costs. However, he said that no further decisions on this issue, including any possible decision on investments, should be expected before 2014.Representatives of the French company Total denied that the decision was the result of any deal with its Russian partner, and confirmed their interest in continuing cooperation.
Earlier another foreign partner in the project, Norway's Statoil-Hydro, withdrew, giving Gazprom a 24% stake in Shtokman Development AG. Statoil-Hydro's decision was taken after the expiry on 30 June of the framework agreement on the Shtokman project, which the partners had signed in February 2008.
Gazprom's decision resulted from a number of economic factors; one of the most important is the current downturn in the world gas markets, especially in Europe. Also, a technological breakthrough in the US, enabling the extraction of gas from shale, has lowered prices. Another important reason is the higher than originally estimated cost of the project (initially US$12-14 billion, but now around US$30 billion according to current estimates), as well as priority being given to investment in developing the gas deposits on the Yamal (the work is more advanced, the costs are lower, and Gazprom can finance the project itself). Statoil-Hydro's decision to withdraw from the joint venture also had a significant impact on Gazprom, because this costly investment project would not be possible without financial and technological support from foreign partners. In addition Gazprom's project, despite the political support of Vladimir Putin, has not received the concrete assistance from the government which would have aided the investment (such as tax breaks or grants).
Gazprom's behaviour indicates that although the company does not intend to officially give up on one of its strategic projects, in practice it is likely to be limited in the coming years to diversionary activities (it has announced a new expert estimation of the project's costs, as well as talks with current and potential partners on the project's technical details). It is possible that work on the project will resume within 10 to 15 years. Mining the Shtokman deposits (3.9 billion m³ of gas and 53.3 million tons of gas condensate) could prove profitable if the long-term forecasts prove accurate (the IEA estimate that demand for gas will rise by over 50% to 2035).
The suspension of Gazprom's strategic project and Statoil's withdrawal from the Hydro Shtokman Development AG company may also indicate the gas monopoly's declining position in relation to other actors in the Russian energy sector. This is confirmed by the projects with foreign partners being undertaken by Rosneft (which has signed agreements with ENI, Statoil-Hydro and ExxonMobil) and Novatek (with Total).

You might think to yourself... "I live in Florida, we get plenty of rain and it is humid and tropical. I don't need to worry about irrigation." Well that is far from the truth. Florida has wet and dry spells just like every other state. A professionally installed irrigation system will protect your valuable plant material in your landscape.
Many of the plants in your yard require different amounts of water based on their location and what type of plant they are. For instance your turf grass may require up to two days per week watering in sandy soil to provide proper moisture. While a freshly planted shrub or tree may require watering 3-4 times weekly until established and then perhaps once a week after they have become established. The surrounding conditions have a lot to do with the irrigation requirements for any landscape. Remember to mulch plant beds to help retain the moisture in the soil and prevent some evaporation. Shady areas may require less water than an area that receives direct full sun. Simply said it is recommended to have a professional irrigation system installed at the same time as your new landscape is installed to ensure a healthy and lush landscape.
Let our team of professional irrigation specialist install a system that will keep your landscape looking great all year long. Call today to get a free consultaion 239-597-4414."
We will design an irrigation system specific to your landscaping needs.
We also repair, and add to your existing irrigation system!
