Saint Lucia attends marine workshop
Press Release – Leading marine experts from the Caribbean and the UK are joining up this week at a three-day workshop aiming to support the sustainable growth of marine economies in the region.
In the Caribbean region, Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines are set to benefit from the Commonwealth Marine Economies (CME) programme workshop.
The marine workshop, hosted by the British High Commission in Kingston Jamaica, is being attended by senior-level representatives from governments, regional agencies, external science agencies, academia and key donors.
The initiative is part of the UK Government funded CME programme, and follows on from similar consultation events held in the Pacific and Indian Ocean regions.
Discussions will focus on what and how shared expertise, collaboration and co-ordination with existing regional projects can best help achieve sustainable blue growth.
Key themes to be addressed will include the opportunities and challenges Caribbean states face in developing their marine economies, including strengthening food security; enabling blue economies, safeguarding the marine environment; and supporting marine resilience.
The CME Programme was announced by the United Kingdom Government at the 2015 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) to provide technical support, services and expertise to Commonwealth Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and Coastal States in the Caribbean, Indian Ocean and Pacific. The aim of this support is to promote safe and sustainable economic growth and alleviate poverty by harnessing maritime resources, preserving marine environments and facilitating trade.
David Fitton, UK High Commissioner, Jamaica said:
"The marine environment in the Caribbean is uniquely rich in biodiversity, economic potential and cultural importance. With these opportunities, come immense challenges of poverty, environmental degradation and food security. The UK seeks to increase prosperity by helping harness maritime resources and preserve the marine environment.
"This Programme plays an important part in this aim. Through data collection, knowledge-sharing and training, we aim to enable the sustainable development of marine economies in this region and the wider Commonwealth."
The Programme is being delivered on behalf of the UK Government by a partnership of world-leading UK government marine expertise: the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO), the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas) and the National Oceanography Centre (NOC).
A region-wide project, involving Caribbean and UK climate change experts, has been under way since last April. The project aims to produce a Marine Climate Change Report Card – a regional evaluation of the impact of climate change on the marine environment.
Cefas project lead and workshop delegate, Paul Buckley said:
"This the first time ever that experts in the Caribbean and the UK have worked together to co-ordinate existing knowledge on coastal and marine climate change impacts on Caribbean SIDS. It is clear from our knowledge sharing, that the economic impacts of climate change pose a severe challenge to the low-lying SIDS of the Caribbean. This work aims to help inform national and collaborative decision-making to help mitigate and manage the risks of marine climate change in the region."
Other projects in the Eastern Caribbean include Sustainable Aquaculture and Fisheries in St Lucia, hydrographic surveying in St Vincent and Grenada and Radar Technology Tide Gauges and Training in St Lucia and elsewhere in the Eastern Caribbean.

Q: How to create ChatRooms with Flutter/Firestore? How do i go about creating chat groups where :
1- users can only join 1 group at a time.
2-that means users will not be able to see anything from that group without joining.
3- and useres have to exit existing group to join another.
4 also that means whatever been shared by users in that group will persist after user existing.
So I'm trying to create a session like functionality, but i have no idea how to implement that, any ideas?

The CBS Morning News is an American early-morning news broadcast presented weekdays on the CBS television network. The program features late-breaking news stories, national weather forecasts and sports highlights. Since 2013, it has been anchored by Anne-Marie Green, who concurrently anchored the CBS late-night news program Up to the Minute until its cancellation in September 2015.

The program is broadcast live at 4:00 a.m. Eastern Time Zone, preceding local news beginning at 4:30 a.m. on many CBS stations. It is transmitted in a continuous half-hour broadcast delay loop until 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, when CBS Mornings begin in the Pacific Time Zone. In the few markets where the station does not produce a morning newscast, it may air in a two- to three-hour loop immediately before the start of CBS Mornings. The show is updated for any breaking news occurring before 7:00 a.m. Eastern Time, while stations throughout the network will join CBS Mornings in all time zones past that time at their local discretion or network orders for live coverage.

History

Background
The CBS Morning News title was originally used as the name of a conventional morning news program that served as a predecessor to the network's current CBS Mornings. For most of the 1960s and 1970s, the program aired as a 60-minute hard news broadcast at 7:00 a.m., preceding Captain Kangaroo and airing opposite the first hour of NBC's Today. Walter Cronkite and sportscaster Jim McKay both anchored the original CBS Morning News at one time. Joseph Benti became the anchor in 1969. Other anchors of the broadcast in this format included John Hart, Hughes Rudd, Sally Quinn, Richard Threlkeld, Lesley Stahl and Bruce Morton.

CBS Early Morning News/current Morning News format
The program first aired in its current format on October 4, 1982 as the CBS Early Morning News. It was a half-hour extension of the two-hour CBS Morning News which aired directly opposite Today. Bill Kurtis and Diane Sawyer originally anchored both the Early Morning News and the Morning News of that era. Sawyer departed both programs in mid-1984, to be named a correspondent for 60 Minutes later that year. In her absence, Kurtis was joined by a rotating series of co-hosts, principally Maria Shriver, Meredith Vieira and Jane Wallace.

Kurtis anchored the Early Morning News solo until March 1985, while co-anchoring the Morning News with Phyllis George until July of that year. Faith Daniels took over and would remain on the anchor desk, most of the time sharing the role with Forrest Sawyer (July to December 1985 and January to September 1987) and later Douglas Edwards and Charles Osgood, until Daniels left CBS to become anchor of competing early-morning newscast NBC News at Sunrise in 1990. Osgood would remain anchor of the CBS Morning News until June 1992, paired with Victoria Corderi from 1990 to 1991, Giselle Fernández through February 1992, and then with Meredith Vieira for the remainder of Osgood's run as co-anchor. After Osgood left the program in 1992, the anchor turnover continued.

The program continued to maintain a two-anchor format until Thalia Assuras was appointed as anchor of the CBS Morning News in 1998, at which point the program switched to a single-anchor format, which it has had ever since. In March 2009, when Michelle Gielan was named anchor of Up to the Minute, the CBS Morning News became integrated with the overnight news program, using the same anchors on both programs.

In November 2010, CBS Morning News became the third and final early morning news program to begin broadcasting in high-definition television; its counterpart, Up to the Minute, continued to be broadcast in standard-definition television until November 2012, when the program converted to high definition. In November 2012, production of the CBS Morning News and Up to the Minute relocated in the CBS Broadcast Center. The CBS Morning News moved to the studio of the CBS Evening News, and Up to the Minute was moved to the Studio 57 facility, the same studio where CBS This Morning (predecessor of CBS Mornings)  is also broadcast, until its cancellation on September 18, 2015.

On September 21, 2015, the CBS Morning News debuted a new look, including a new logo and updated on-air graphics that are similar to those from the network's morning news program CBS This Morning. In addition, production of the program moved to the newsroom of CBS This Morning, where broadcasts of CBS News Streaming Network are also produced. Its long-running counterpart, Up to the Minute, was replaced the same day by the CBS Overnight News.

On March 11, 2020, the CBS Broadcast Center was temporarily closed after a number of CBS News staffers tested positive for coronavirus disease 2019. While CBS News did attempt to reopen the Broadcast Center with minimal crews following a thorough decontamination and cleaning, a second shutdown on March 18 along with directives by CBS News President Susan Zirinsky in the wake of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on television resulted in dramatic changes to many of CBS News's programs and operations. CBSN had itself experienced major issues in both producing a normal schedule, with its operations largely being outsourced temporarily to its CBS Television Stations, and with producing programs for CBS News.

While CBS News did attempt to produce the CBS Morning News with limited staff and graphics from its Washington, D.C. bureau the following week, it became impossible to consistently produce the program under their normal standards, and as a result production of the CBS Morning News was temporarily suspended beginning on March 24, 2020, with a repeat of the CBS Evening News or local newscasts or programming taking its place. On August 31 of the same year, nearly six months after the pandemic began, production of the CBS Morning News resumed with its primary anchor, Anne-Marie Green, anchoring from her home studio.

Il Gran Premio di San Marino 1999 è stato un Gran Premio di Formula 1 disputato il 2 maggio 1999 sull'Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari di Imola. La gara è stata vinta da Michael Schumacher, che firma il 34° successo in Formula 1, su Ferrari; il team di Maranello, inoltre, non vinceva ad Imola da ben 16 anni, con l'ultima vittoria di Patrick Tambay nel 1983. Secondo e terzo sono giunti rispettivamente Coulthard e Barrichello. Il brasiliano ha partecipato in questa occasione alla 100ª gara della sua carriera nella massima categoria; si tratta del Gran Premio numero 100 anche per la scuderia Sauber.

Prima della gara
 Badoer, sostituito nel Gran Premio del Brasile da Sarrazin per un infortunio ad una mano riportato durante dei test con la Ferrari, torna alla guida della Minardi.
 La BAR sostituisce Zonta, infortunatosi durante le prove del Gran Premio del Brasile, con Salo; il pilota finlandese sostituisce il brasiliano anche a Monaco e in Spagna.

Qualifiche

Resoconto

Häkkinen e Coulthard monopolizzano la prima fila per la terza gara consecutiva, con il finlandese che batte il compagno di squadra per appena ventidue millesimi; terzo è Michael Schumacher, staccato di meno di due decimi dai piloti della McLaren. Seguono Irvine, il sorprendente Villeneuve (quinto con la BAR), Barrichello, Frentzen, Hill, Ralf Schumacher e Zanardi. In difficoltà le Benetton, con Fisichella sedicesimo e Wurz diciassettesimo.

Risultati

Gara

Resoconto

Al via rimane fermo sulla griglia di partenza Villeneuve; il pilota canadese si deve ritirare immediatamente. Häkkinen mantiene la testa della corsa davanti al compagno di squadra; il finlandese comincia subito a distanziare i rivali, arrivando ad avere un vantaggio di circa tredici secondi. Nel corso del diciassettesimo passaggio, però, Häkkinen va largo all'ultima curva, sbandando sul cordolo e andando a sbattere contro le barriere; passa così in testa Coulthard, seguito da Michael Schumacher. Il pilota della Ferrari effettua il suo pit stop al 31º giro, mentre Coulthard rifornisce quattro tornate più tardi; quando torna in pista, lo scozzese è alle spalle del rivale. Rallentato da alcuni doppiati, Coulthard non riesce a riguadagnare la prima posizione neanche quando Schumacher si ferma nuovamente ai box.

Al 46º giro sulla Ferrari di Irvine, che occupava la terza posizione, si rompe il motore; Frentzen, che lo seguiva da vicino, scivola sull'olio perso dalla vettura del nordirlandese, andando in testacoda e ritirandosi. Alle spalle di Michael Schumacher e Coulthard chiude quindi Barrichello, che porta il primo podio stagionale alla Stewart; quarto è Hill, seguito da Fisichella ed Alesi. Questi ultimi approfittano del doppio ritiro, a quattro tornate dal termine, di Herbert e Zanardi, rispettivamente quinto e sesto; curiosamente, l'abbandono dei due avviene più o meno allo stesso modo di quello di Irvine e Frentzen, con Zanardi che scivola sull'olio perso dalla vettura di Herbert.

Q: Updating to SQL Server Driver 11.0 in DNS-Less Connection String Not Working I'm trying to figure out why this driver works:
stConnect = "ODBC;Driver={SQL Server};Server=" & stServer & ";Database=" & stDatabase & ";Trusted_Connection=True;"

...but this updated driver doesn't:
stConnect = "ODBC;Driver={SQL Server Native Client 11.0};Server=" & stServer & ";Database=" & stDatabase & ";Trusted_Connection=True;"

This is Access 365 Version 2211
Is there something on the SQL Server I need to update?
I wouldn't be bothering with this at all except my date data types in SQL server come over as Short Text in Access and I think it's the driver.

Market Commentary & Blog
Stocks Breakout, But Is It Time For A Breather?
The S&P 500 gained 1.67% this week with Friday's close at 3,699.12.
Friday's close is another new all-time high daily and weekly close for the index. For the second week in a row we set our weekly low on Monday and our weekly high on Friday, a sign of ascending buying interest throughout the week. We traded down to 3,594.39 on Monday only to then climb more than 100 points into Friday's weekly high at 3,699.20. Collectively, market participants continue to demonstrate eager buying interest into lower prices for the S&P 500. This is an encouraging sign regarding where prices are headed over the intermediate term.
Referencing back to last Sunday's Update, we wrote that last week's advance left us in a prime position to move toward the ~3,700 region:
"This would set the stage for a move toward the ~3,700 price region over the week ahead, and that would have us yelling "touchdown!" (and Steve's a Jets fan so he hasn't been yelling that often this year)."
The Jets didn't score a "touchdown" last week, but the market did this week. So, "touchdown!"
The ironic part about the "touchdown" analogy is that after you score a "touchdown" you give the ball back to the other team and they then try to score some points of their own. If we view the price of the S&P 500 as a football game between "bulls" and "bears", then over the last ten weeks the "bulls" have scored a ton of points while the "bears" have gone three and out repeatedly. We can't help but wonder if the "bears" are finally going to put a drive together.
Quantifying the action, the S&P 500 has gained 12.15% the last ten weeks and that's a ton of points over a short period of time, all while closing at prices we've never seen before in the history of the index (i.e., new all-time highs).
The game has been totally lopsided, and historically speaking, this is indeed when the "bears" finally do tend to put some points on the board in the not too distant future.
Since 1990, there are 21 prior instances of the S&P 500 gaining 10% or more over a ten-week period while also closing week ten at a new all-time high. Interestingly, the "bears" have then scored some points over the forward one month more often than not, especially as of late.
The S&P 500's forward four-week (i.e., one month) returns have closed lower eight of the last ten instances for average declines of -0.77%.
Furthermore, nine of the last ten instances saw the S&P 500 drawdown by -4% or more at some point over the coming calendar quarter, and typically within the forward four-week time span.
Now, while the table above does support the idea of the "bears" scoring points at some point over the forward one month, it's by no means guaranteed to occur over the forward one month. We share this not to suggest the price of the S&P 500 is headed south at Monday's open, or even next week, but instead to suggest that should any selling pressure arise from here it's totally normal and to be expected given the degree of the advance we've witnessed the last ten weeks.
A pullback unfolding over the next month would be nothing out of the ordinary; it's like the pilot announcing there's normal turbulence on deck.
Prices don't move linearly forever, and short-term, temporary price declines are also a hallmark of primary uptrends. We just have to put up with them. So if you see some red on the screen over the short term there's probably no need to panic.
The reason there's probably no need to panic is illustrated by the column titled "SPX FWD 12 Week Return", which is measuring the S&P 500's price-only return twelve weeks after the "bulls" have scored a ton of points (i.e., where is the price of the S&P 500 after the index has gained 10% or more over a ten-week period while closing at a new all time high). This is where we can see that the "bulls" generally build on their lead, which is basically supporting the null hypothesis for stocks (i.e. stock prices rise over time). The S&P 500's forward 12-week returns have closed higher 17 of the last 21 instances, gaining 2.09% on average.
Putting it all together, the last ten weeks have been absolutely fantastic. The rally has broadened and breadth measures have skyrocketed. Sector rotation has been on full display, the energy sector has gained 19.92% the last three weeks, and small-cap and high-beta stocks have been absolutely roaring, supporting the idea of an "economic bonanza" in 2021. Sentiment has now swung away from "fear" and moved toward "greed" (click here). We've checked all of the "accumulation" boxes and it's why we believe in the idea of higher prices for the S&P 500 over the intermediate term. But, there's always a but...
A portion of great returns in the present almost always have to be paid back into the future. Over the short term, we're due for some form of a normal, healthy pullback. Additionally, we don't believe there is any durability in any continued advance from Friday's close. In other words, even if the S&P 500 trades up to 3,800, or even 3,850 here in December, the index will probably trade back down toward the ~3,550-3,600 price region at some point over the forward four to six weeks.
Given all of the gifts we've received over the last ten weeks, it's fair to question if Santa has anything left for us as we finish off 2020. We'll welcome more presents, but this many gifts generally comes at a cost.
S&P 500 Primary Trend - Up
Our work continues to label the primary trend for the S&P 500 as up or "bullish".
During uptrends, long-term investors are best served investing in the most traditional sense of the word. The recipe for success during uptrends is an equity overweight across your portfolio's asset allocation and relying mostly on passive investing methodologies.
It's sexy to think that investing for success needs to be complicated, but there's absolutely no relationship between the complexity of an investing strategy and the future success of that investing strategy. Generally speaking, primary uptrends are a time to "be right and sit tight" and do a whole lot of nothing with your portfolio.
One of the more interesting narratives of 2020 is the resurgence of active management at the security selection level.
While the S&P 500 itself is having a strong year (which is shocking to write given everything that's transpired this year), there are pockets of the market that are having an exceptional year. This has allowed skilled active managers to thrive and one in particular, ARK Invest (click here), is absolutely crushing it this year.
ARK Invest has five actively managed exchange-traded funds (ETFs). They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so the chart below illustrates the year-to-date returns of all five of their ETFs relative to the S&P 500 itself.
Through Friday's close the S&P 500 is higher by 14.50% thus far in 2020, and that's excluding dividends. By contrast, the worst performing actively managed ETF offered by ARK is higher by a whopping 91.38% thus far in 2020. The best performing ARK ETF is higher by 167.51% in 2020 (the ARK Genomic Revolution Multi Sector ETF). There is little doubt who the ETF provider of the year is in 2020, and Cathie Wood is certainly up for investor of the year too. While the price action in Tesla (TSLA) has led the charge for most of their offerings, TSLA is not held in ARKG, the best of their offerings thus far in 2020.
Now, we have no idea if ARK's actively managed ETFs will continue to outperform moving forward. We've all heard the phrase "past performance isn't indicative of future results". We share this not to endorse ARK ETFs, but instead to illustrate support for analyzing the merits of "active management" at the security selection level, rather than just assuming "active management is dead".
From a philosophical/strategy perspective, we believe it's reasonable for long-term investors to diversify "how" they own stocks. This includes diversifying with passive and active strategies at both the asset allocation and the security selection levels. The idea of a long-term investor implementing a static, "one size fits all" asset allocation, with nothing but one or two of the broadest ETFs, is outdated in our opinion. It's missing a lot of low-hanging fruit.
To navigate an unprecedented future with an ever-changing market climate, we believe it's imperative that long-term investors diversify to pick up the low-hanging fruit. It's prudent to diversify "when" they own stocks (i.e., employing a rules-based approach toward tactical asset allocation decisions) and "how" they own stocks (i.e., leveraging both passively managed ETFs and actively managed ETFs based on relative strength criteria). Given broad equity market valuations, we believe these are some of the necessary tools to get the job done into 2021 and beyond.
Bonds Hanging On By A Thread, Gold Finds A Bid, Bitcoin Sets New ATH
The long-term Treasury bond market, as measured by the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond Index Fund (ticker symbol TLT) declined -3.03% this week with Friday's close at $155.20. TLT is now face-to-face with its lowest weekly close over the last six months. The yield associated with a 30-year U.S. Treasury bond closed Friday at 1.73%, its highest weekly close since February. TLT is presently at a fork in the road.
Interestingly, gold jumped 2.90% this week with Friday's close at $1,840, even in spite of yields rising sharply across the curve this week.
Broadly speaking, rising yields are detrimental to the price of gold...unless rising yields are a derivative of rising inflation expectations. Negative real rates can occur even in the face of sharply rising yields, and that would create upward momentum in gold prices (think the 1970s).
One week does not a reversal make, but gold's U-turn to the north came right on schedule as we discussed in last week's Update (click here and scroll down). Follow-through to the upside is imperative over the week ahead.
Finally, Bitcoin (BTC) set a new all-time high this week, climbing to $19,911.79.
The cryptocurrency is now face-to-face with its top from 2017 at the $19,870.62 marker. BTC did pull back to finish the week at $19,192.85 as it consolidates around prior resistance.
A breakout above $20,000 feels inevitable and it will see BTC move into uncharted territory.
There's no telling how far and how fast it will climb when there are no known levels of resistance left on the charts. BTC still might not make sense to many of us, but there's no denying its durability and legitimacy as an asset given how well it shook off an -85% drawdown over the last few years. BTC is here to stay.

Today is World Animal Day, and Cruelty Free International has delivered their petition to the UN with 8.3 million signatures from around the world, calling for a global end to cosmetic testing on animals.
The petition took only 15 months to reach its target, with the support from people all around the world, and The Body Shop participated in the petition. If the UN takes action on cosmetic animal testing on a global level, framework would be put in place which would see outdated and cruel tests bought to an end.
Vegan activist, entrepreneur and actor, Maggie Q, said: "Over 8 million people have spoken up for animals and made it clear that they want to see an end to cruel and unnecessary animal testing for cosmetics NOW.
The petition has gathered an enormous amount of attention, and with this global support, it is hoped that the wheels will be set in motion for positive change.

Kaspersky Lab opens new transparency center in Madrid
Kaspersky Lab is opening a Transparency Center in Madrid, which in addition to a similar center opened in 2018 in Zurich, will serve as a trusted facility for the company's partners and government stakeholders to come and check source code of the company's products. In addition to being a code review facility, the new center will function as a briefing center where guests will be able to learn more about Kaspersky Lab's engineering and data processing practices. The center will open for its first visitors in June.
The new center is being opened as part of the company's Global Transparency Initiative – a set of measures being brought to life in order to fulfill growing demand from partners and government stakeholders for more information on how the Kaspersky Lab's products and technologies work.
Since the company opened its first Transparency Center in Zurich in November 2018, it has been receiving requests from business customers to learn more about how it is transparent, including queries on product functionality and data processing. Along with being a place to undertake "standard" source code review, the Spanish facility will also serve as a briefing center, where visitors can learn more about the company's portfolio, engineering and data processing practices.

Video: Halloween candy thief caught on Ring cam in Royal Oak
November 01, 2019, 10:59 AM by Violet Ikonomova
Ring cameras may be the best thing to ever happen to Halloween.
A king-sized Halloween villain struck last night in Royal Oak, nabbing a bucket of candy left out for trick-or-treaters before driving off in a getaway car.
The episode, which occurred near 12 Mile and Crooks, was caught on one family's Ring camera.
Video shows the cartoonish candy thief — who looks to be in his late teens or early 20s — taking one of two candy buckets the family left sitting out on their porch. It was the one with "all the good stuff," they tell Deadline Detroit. We're talking Kit-Kats, Reese's cups, Butterfingers, Snickers and Milky Way.
"Truthfully, it did not cross my mind that the bowl of candy would get stolen," said the mother. "I guess I would not have been surprised if a trick-or-tricker had walked up and dumped all of the candy into their bowl — but this person drove up in front of the house, sneakily crept up, took the whole bucket, ran back to the car and drove away."
The mother says the candy thief struck shortly after she and her husband went inside to put their toddler to bed around 7:20 p.m. The throngs of trick-or-treaters were thinning, but the couple wanted to make sure kids could still get candy while they were away. They also wanted to see the kids, so they turned on the camera's motion censor, which would alert them to any activity.
Then, twenty minutes later, an alert went off, revealing not a sweet child in costume, but a sneering adult in plain clothes.
At first, the mother says she was mad.
"That bucket was pretty full, probably $10-$15 worth of candy," she said.
But then, she felt a bit relieved.
"[He] only took the cheap plastic Halloween bucket full of candy and not our nice, glass Tupperware bowl full of the allergy-friendly suckers."
The family has asked to remain anonymous, as they don't want to seem like the types that call the news over petty thefts captured by Ring. And for the record, they didn't call us — we called them.

Turkish War : Dalmatian Interlude (1092-4) : Conspiracy of Nicephorus Diogenes (1094)
I In this wise the Emperor settled the affairs of John and Gregory Gabras; then he started from Philippopolis and visited the valleys lying between Dalmatia and our territory. He traversed the whole narrow mountain ridge of what is locally called the "Zygum," but not on horseback (for the nature of the ground did not allow of this as it was rugged and full of gullies and here and there thickly wooded and almost impassable).
So he made his way on foot all along and examined everything with his own eyes; in order that no unguarded comer, through which the enemy could easily force an entrance, should escape notice. In some places he had trenches dug; and in others towers erected made of wood; also wherever the site permitted he ordered small forts to be constructed of bricks or stone while he himself measured out the distance between them, and their size; in some spots too he had exceedingly tall trees felled at the root and laid across the path.
After having thus fully blocked the enemy's means of ingress, he returned to the capital. Now all this planning probably sounds but a slight thing when told like this, but many of the Emperor's companions on that occasion are still alive and testify to the hard work and fatigue that journey caused him.
A short time afterwards very accurate information about the doings of Tzachas was brought to him, which was that none of his defeats by land and sea had caused him to abandon his former hope, but that he had adopted the insignia of an Emperor, styled himself Emperor, inhabited Smyrna as if it were his palace, and was now equipping a fleet with which to devastate the islands again and push on to Byzantium, and if anyhow possible, to have himself exalted to the imperial eminence.
As these tidings received confirmation daily, the Emperor recognized that he must not lose heart nor show cowardice in face of them, but push on his preparations during what remained of the summer and the ensuing winter, and then in the following spring start a vigorous campaign against him and endeavour by all possible means to dash to pieces all that man's dreams, plans, hopes and enterprises, and to drive him out of Smyrna as well, and rescue from his power all the places he had already seized.

Microsoft Is Ready for a World Beyond Windows
Tom Warren:
Microsoft announced a new reorganization yesterday. It's the fourth major shuffle inside the company over the past five years, and the most significant of Nadella's tenure. Microsoft is splitting Windows across the company, into different parts. Terry Myerson, a 21-year Microsoft veteran, is leaving the company and his role as Windows chief. The core development of Windows is being moved to a cloud and AI team, and a new team will take over the "experiences" Windows 10 users see like apps, the Start menu, and new features. There's a lot of shuffling going on, but Nadella's 1,300 word memo leaves little doubt over the company's true future: cloud and AI.
Ben Thompson:
What is more interesting, though, is the story of Windows' decline in Redmond, culminating with last week's reorganization that, for the first time since 1980, left the company without a division devoted to personal computer operating systems (Windows was split, with the core engineering group placed under Azure, and the rest of the organization effectively under Office 365; there will still be Windows releases, but it is no longer a standalone business). Such a move didn't seem possible a mere five years ago, when, in the context of another reorganization, former-CEO Steve Ballmer wrote a memo insisting that Windows was the future (emphasis mine)[…]
To put it another way, Nadella's shift to a post-Windows Microsoft is the right one; to have done the same a decade sooner would have been better. It also, though, may have been impossible, simply because Windows was still the biggest part of the business, and it's not clear the markets would have tolerated an explicit shift before it was painfully obvious it was necessary; without a rising stock price, Nadella's mission would have been much more challenging if not impossible.
Update (2018-04-02): Maynard Handley:
Did it HAVE to turn out this way?
What if MS had been willing to keep improving Windows instead of just essentially polishing XP?
Of course to do that would have been disruptive (ie would have caused people to complain about changes).
Accept that you can't serve BOTH Enterprise (world never changes) and Personal (we want change)?
IMHO MS should have seen this tension years ago and created a separate personal OS. Put in a Windows Blue Box but make it Apple-level clear that that is legacy and goes away. Also make it clear that the new OS is constantly improving -- don't coddle developers who lag.
Artificial Intelligence Cloud Microsoft Windows
Don't think I agree with Maynard Handley.
I think Windows has kept improving. Windows XP was pretty awful. Better than Vista....maybe, but is there anyone who uses/used Windows 7 and thinks/thought Windows XP was the same system? If so, who and why? What about Windows 8? What about Windows 10? I don't even think Microsoft was resting on their laurels during the Windows XP extended run of tier 1 support. Microsoft attempted to get Longhorn out the door and simply failed. They really did have a plan to move away from XP quicker than what eventually shipped with Vista. To be fair "What if MS had been willing to keep improving Windows instead of just essentially polishing XP?" did actually happen, simply took longer than anticipated.
Shoot, their mobile platform burned bridges from the constant reshuffling of the underlying systems!!!! Windows Mobile transitioned to largely incompatible Windows Phone platform (still based on Windows Mobile) to Windows Phone based on NT that once again shed users on old devices to a newer incompatible Windows Phone based on newer NT update which once again largely dropped support for old devices,to Windows 10 on Mobile which was EOLed pretty rapidly.... Perhaps the development platform became more stable from the standpoint of developers being able to take their apps forward, but the dearth of apps and lack of support for users....hard to say really. Now if you want to discuss Microsoft stagnation, I present Internet Explorer 6 as a chief example.
Furthermore, you can keep improving the system and still cater to enterprise. I run Antergos on most of my personal systems. It's to Arch Linux what Ubuntu was to Debian....little bit of consumer level friendliness to a robust, if technical, underlying system. I don't even do LTS kernel releases, I just keep applying updates as time goes on and things more or less just work. On the flip side, there's people who like a stable build of Debian or Red Hat Enterprise Linux for their servers or workstations. And that's fine too.
The point I'm making, Linux wears multiple hats and even though Microsoft is a single entity directing Windows, no reason Windows can't likewise support "lock releases" for enterprise, with extended support contracts sold for any support longer than 18/24 months or so, while continuing to iterate on Windows for the masses. Red Hat has RHEL, CentOS, and Fedora after all....
As to consumers wanting change? I am not sure if that is true either. Sure, adopt newer codecs, polish interface, adapt to new devices, but the constant reshuffling of features and interfaces....that's simply companies and their marketing departments dictating "experience" to goose sales. I work with regular people all the time and constant change on their phones, tablets, PCs, etc is confusing for them. We all know the average person wants to get in their car and the layout be completely changed for yearly release updates....right? Their kitchens should likewise magically arrange itself every month, right?
