The Manitoba government has introduced legislation to ban hunting with spotlights at night but some Indigenous groups say that infringes on their constitutional rights.
The proposed legislation would ban night hunting in southern Manitoba, except for Indigenous people who are granted a permit. They will only be able to shoot in a specific area if it doesn't threaten the viability of the species they're hunting.
"It will provide enforcement greater tools to go after anybody who is indeed in the forest or the field at night with a gun and ammunition and lights," Sustainable Development Minister Rochelle Squires said Wednesday.
The government hasn't decided what criteria would be required for the permit or where exactly night hunting would be allowed. Consultations with rural municipalities and Indigenous groups are scheduled over the summer.
The bill would also ban hunting at night in northern Manitoba, but Indigenous people with treaty rights would be exempt and would not need a permit.
Grand Chief Jerry Daniels of the Southern Chiefs Organization said he does not support the proposed legislation.
"They want to put us in an advisory role in providing permits to our First Nations who already have the right to hunt any time that they want," he said.
Daniels said they told the government they wanted to talk hunting safety and proposed First Nations regulate night hunting permits.
Premier Brian Pallister promised to ban the "inhumane practice" of spotlight hunting — which involves using bright lights to help hunters see animals at night — in a speech to party faithful last week. Last year, he said the issue was becoming a race war with some Indigenous hunters.
The Manitoba Metis Federation voted to ban spotlighting in southern Manitoba last fall. Federation president David Chartrand said he has not heard from the province about the ban since last September.


In today's digital Internet world, Every business is moving up their own business on the web. From small E-commerce to the big companies every business want's to get found online when customers get search on the web especially on the Search Engine's like on Google, Bing, and Yahoo. So for that perspective, every business creates a website where they list and describe their business services, goals and location where they have located all information on the website. Because the website is the great way to show your business online as per today's digital age. But, there is one problem how your website will get found by the customers on the web especially in Search Engine results. Because around 70% of online traffic comes from these search engines. And Google and Bing are the only two search engines which are most widely used around the Globe. And for this, you need to do Search Engine Optimization on your website. So, in this post, you will learn 5 easiest way to get found your website on the search engine's like Google, Bing etc.
Having a mobile-friendly website is a critical part of your online presence. If you have a website which is not Mobile responsive then your website is outdated as per today's digital age. In many countries, smartphone traffic now exceeds desktop traffic. 80% of internet users have smartphones and they use daily for web access. So, make sure if your site is not mobile friendly and responsive design then nobody will come up to your website. You can test your website here at Google's Mobile-Friendly Test.
So, what would someone search for to find your business?
Have you ever think that what would people search your business online for finding your business website? That's the question you must answer and that is what companies pay SEOs to find out.
People search about business, services and other information by typing some relevant keywords which specify your website. Keywords are the Set of Strings that are used by the users who are looking for them.
They search for products and/or services they know they need.
Or, if they don't know what they need, they search for the problem or challenge they actually have.
SEO begins with identifying your target keywords. In other words, what keywords do you want to rank for? Keywords are valuable for your website. Some keywords are more important than others.
Start with your primary keywords.
All of your on-page SEO will rely on your keyword research. It is very important that you come up with a long list of target keywords for your website. For researching new keywords for your website always prefer Google Keyword Planner which is the best one for researching new keywords.
Search engines — The page title is the first thing people see when they find your website through an online search.
People — The right page title will entice people to click through to your website.
Keep the page title under 60 characters. If your page title is longer, the search engines will only display a partial page title.
Start your page title with your target keyword.
Forgetting found in Search Engine Results, your website's each webpage must have title, Keywords, and Descriptions. And this section is most important for search engine optimization aspects, that's why they are important.
The meta description tag in HTML is the 230 characters snippet used to summarize a web page's content. Search engines sometimes use these snippets in search results to let visitors know what a page is about before they click on it.
Meta Keywords are a specific type of meta tag that appears in the HTML code of a Web page and help tell search engines what the topic of the page is.
By 2018, Google will begin utilizing security as an estimation of a site's believable. I will let you know as a matter of fact that getting an SSL endorsement isn't hard, yet it is difficult. Furthermore, in case you're not particularly educated, I wouldn't encourage you to do it without anyone's help.
Be that as it may, you can utilize an administration like Cloudflare or Let's Encrypt to get a briefly shared SSL declaration for nothing. Be that as it may, I would suggest you really get one. A shabby SSL endorsement can cost as meager as $12. Most facilitating organizations will offer them for in any event $40 or $50 per declaration per URL you have.
Since the hurry to get an SSL is still so new, I can't reveal to you what the long haul consequences are of snatching one of the less expensive ones. Along these lines, I would suggest getting your site facilitating organization on the telephone and asking them what you have to do.
Whether you have a blog or you offer products and services or work with a network marketing company, get your business listed in the directories.
Add your company, your contact information, product descriptions, ownership info, and any other information needed to online directories. This includes blog directories if you have a blog, or if you have a business list your company with JustDial, Indiamart, Hot Frog, FourSquare, and any other credible citation directory out there.
The more place you can put your company, the better.
And the crowning jewel, of course, is listing your business on Google. Google verifies businesses with postcards. So, once you apply for a Google Business listing, Google will send you a postcard in the mail that contains a code. Use that code to verify your listing and you can be listed online.
Keep in mind, though, if you run a home-based business that's the address that Google will use and there will be a picture of your house showing up on Google Maps along with your business name.
Search Engine Submission is the process of notifying search engines of the existence of website content so that they include the site in their indices and search results. Search Engine Submission is only necessary if the site has not been found by the major search engines.
So, implementing all above tasks you can easily get on the top of Google Search Organic Results.


This book is published open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book presents computer programming as a key method for solving mathematical problems. This 2nd edition of the book represents a major revision: All code is now written in Python version 3.6 (the 1st edition was based on Python version 2.7). The two first chapters of the previous edition have been extended and split up into five new chapters, thus expanding the introduction to programming from 50 to 150 pages. Throughout, explanations are now more complete, previous examples have been modified and new sections, examples and exercises have been added. Also, errors and typos have been corrected. The book was inspired by the Springer book TCSE 6: A Primer on Scientific Programming with Python (by Langtangen), but the style is more accessible and concise, in keeping with the needs of engineering students. The book outlines the shortest possible path from no previous experience with programming to a set of skills that allows the students to write simple programs for solving common mathematical problems with numerical methods in engineering and science courses. The emphasis is on generic algorithms, clean design of programs, use of functions, and automatic tests for verification.
This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This easy-to-read book introduces the basics of solving partial differential equations by means of finite difference methods. Unlike many of the traditional academic works on the topic, this book was written for practitioners. Accordingly, it especially addresses: the construction of finite difference schemes, formulation and implementation of algorithms, verification of implementations, analyses of physical behavior as implied by the numerical solutions, and how to apply the methods and software to solve problems in the fields of physics and biology.
The book serves both as a reference for various scaled models with corresponding dimensionless numbers, and as a resource for learning the art of scaling. A special feature of the book is the emphasis on how to create software for scaled models, based on existing software for unscaled models. Scaling (or non-dimensionalization) is a mathematical technique that greatly simplifies the setting of input parameters in numerical simulations. Moreover, scaling enhances the understanding of how different physical processes interact in a differential equation model. Compared to the existing literature, where the topic of scaling is frequently encountered, but very often in only a brief and shallow setting, the present book gives much more thorough explanations of how to reason about finding the right scales. This process is highly problem dependent, and therefore the book features a lot of worked examples, from very simple ODEs to systems of PDEs, especially from fluid mechanics. The text is easily accessible and example-driven. The first part on ODEs fits even a lower undergraduate level, while the most advanced multiphysics fluid mechanics examples target the graduate level. The scientific literature is full of scaled models, but in most of the cases, the scales are just stated without thorough mathematical reasoning. This book explains how the scales are found mathematically. This book will be a valuable read for anyone doing numerical simulations based on ordinary or partial differential equations.

We performed a long-term follow-up examination in children and adolescents with migraine and tension-type headache (TTH) in order to investigate the evolution of clinical features and headache diagnoses, to compare International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD)-I and ICHD-II criteria and to identify prognostic factors. We re-examined 227 patients (52.4% female, age 17.6 +/- 3.1 years) 6.6 +/- 1.6 years after their first presentation to a headache centre using identical semistructured questionnaires.
Of 140 patients initially diagnosed with migraine, 25.7% were headache free, 48.6% still had migraine and 25.7% had TTH at follow-up.
Of 87 patients with TTH, 37.9% were headache free, 41.4% still had TTH and 20.7% had migraine.
The number of subjects with definite migraine was higher in ICHD-II than in ICHD-I at baseline and at follow-up. The likelihood of a decrease in headache frequency decreased with a changing headache location at baseline (P < 0.0001), with the time between baseline and follow-up (P = 0.0019), and with an initial diagnosis of migraine (P = 0.014).
Female gender and a longer time between headache onset and first examination tended to have an unfavourable impact.
In conclusion, 30% of the children and adolescents presenting to a headache centre because of migraine or TTH become headache-free in the long-term. Another 20-25% shift from migraine to TTH or vice versa. ICHD-II criteria are superior to those of ICHD-I in identifying definite migraine in children and adolescents presenting to a headache centre. The prognosis is adversely affected by an initial diagnosis of migraine and by changing headache location, and it tends to be affected by an increasing time between headache onset and first presentation.

Aggie fans still upbeat after WAC tournament cancellation
Justin Martinez
Las Cruces Sun-News
LAS VEGAS, Nevada – It's folded for now, but The Aggie Peeps are always ready to break out their signature state flag of New Mexico.
The yellow banner, decked out with the New Mexico State Aggies' logo on each corner, has been seen in the stands of numerous road gyms. It's a trend Ancelmo Encinias and his wife, Gerry Brown-Encinias, started around a decade ago when they began traveling for Aggie basketball games.
The couple built a following as the years grew on, eventually forming a group called The Aggie Peeps that is now 12 people strong on a good day.
"We've traveled the last three years as The Aggie Peeps," Gerry Brown-Encinias said. "We usually get together for dinner before the games or, if it's an early game, afterwards. We have a great time."
The 2020 WAC tournament was going to be no different, as eight members of the group made the trip to Las Vegas, Nevada, to watch their top-seeded Aggies compete for an automatic bid into the NCAA tournament.
Those plans changed Thursday morning, though.
The WAC announced the cancelation of both the men's and women's tournament due to concerns about the coronavirus, joining 11 other conferences who made the same decision.
The news signaled an abrupt end to 14 teams' seasons and left thousands of fans scrambling to adjust hotel/flight arrangements, but The Aggie Peeps still found reasons to stay positive.
"We're Aggie fans regardless," Ancelmo Encinias said. "We're really proud of this team. They've had so much adversity throughout the year, and the coaches and the players just stepped up. I think Las Cruces and Aggies fans are very, very proud of them regardless."
This upbeat outlook is present amongst the whole group, who jokingly voiced its concerns about how to finish all the alcohol it purchased before the flight back home.
From designing their own t-shirts to sharing vehicles on road trips to games, The Aggie Peeps are a family who simply enjoys supporting their hometown team.
Even with the surrounding circumstances, that desire hasn't wavered.
"We're here for the team," said Michael Rodriguez, who is a proud member along with his wife Maria. "Even if we don't get to see the games, as the long as the team gets to see us here supporting them, that's what matters."
Members who traveled for the tournament consist of Ancelmo and Gerry Encinias, Michael and Maria Rodriguez, Joe and Elena Glaze and Jose and Trish Alvarez.
With their returning flights not scheduled until Monday, The Aggie Peeps are unsure if they'll be able to change their plans and come back home any earlier.
Still, the group is understanding of the situation.
"We feel bad because we know the coaches and the players are very competitive, but health is the number one concern above all," Ancelmo Encinias said.

Cape Town - Disappointed and angry viewers "divorced" the first new episode of the second season of Married at First Sight South Africa on Friday night, when unexplained technical issues marred the broadcast on Lifetime (DStv 131) and saw the episode stuck in an endless loop of repeating the same insert without any intervention.
On Thursday the Lifetime Africa channel run by A+E Networks Africa, a subsidiary of A+E Networks UK, told viewers to "brace yourself for the unexpected season two of Married at First Sight SA".
The unexpected thing that however ended up happening on Friday the 13th, turned into an embarrassment for sponsors Telkom and 1Life, MultiChoice, A+E Networks Africa and production company Oxyg3n Media headed up by Rebecca Fuller-Campbell, when the same 15 minutes of the episode kept repeating four times over without any fix or on-screen advisory, apology or notification.
During the show Lifetime Africa on social media said it's a technical glitch and that it will be "sorted out soon," however the hour ended with no fix and yet another repeat after the last in-show ad break.
It's not the first time that the stuck-on-repeat happened with Married at First Sight SA on Lifetime and viewers slamming the "internal deficiencies" were not happy.
After the Groundhog Day-like endless repeating started, furious viewers who wanted to watch the second season of Married at First Sight SA said they're tuning out of the show, while some started mocking the show, saying they know what's going to happen next and after the next commercial break.
"MAFSSA just got a 100% divorce rate," said Michelle on Twitter, while another viewer weighed in with "why is the same thing showing every 15 min followed by an ad break? Married at First Sight SA - what a waste of an everything. Poor show."
The show will screen the same episode of last night - hopefully corrected in its full hourlong length - tonight at 19:10 on Lifetime.
A+E Networks Africa quickly responded to a media enquiry made Friday night about the show's broadcasting blunder on Lifetime caused by the playout centre, apologising for the "Friday the 13th" mistake but not explaining why the technical mistake happened.
Lifetime Africa said sorry to viewers who tuned in and who didn't know what was going on and that A+E Networks Africa is themselves disappointed that fans couldn't watch the episode.
"Due to technical difficulties during episode 2, segment one was repeated throughout the show," said Nazarene Khan, head of marketing and sponsorship at A+E Networks Africa in response to a media enquiry from Channel24.
"Lifetime Africa apologises to our loyal viewers for this technical hiccup. We are disappointed that fans of the show were unable to watch it in its entirety. The good news is that viewers will have chance to catch up during the following slots."
The episode will repeat on Saturday (14 Oct) 10:55 and 19:10, Sunday (15 Oct) 21:40, Monday (16 Oct) 07:35 and 14:20, Wednesday (18 Oct) 07:35 and 14:20 and Friday 20 Oct at 20:00.
This will be followed by the third episode of Married at First Sight SA in its correct timeslot at 20:50.
"Please note that this will affect the broadcast of Bride and Prejudice (episode 2) on Friday 20 October. This will be moved out by a week to accommodate the double bill of Married at First Sight South Africa season 2," said Nazarene Khan.

Today was a free day. We had planned some months ago to go to Cordoba since the tour was not going there, and we really wanted to see the Mosque/Cathedral. We had bought our train tickets on the internet site several weeks before we left. Our plan was to take a taxi up the hill to the train station that we visited yesterday and take the train to Malaga. An earlier desk clerk in the hotel said that that was the best way to get to Malaga. We mentioned our plans to another desk clerk later in the day and he said that train wasn't running anymore due to construction. You would think that a staff in a large hotel like that would know about a train not running.
Also yesterday the desk clerk said that if we brought our laundry in early in the morning they could get it back to us by late afternoon. When we took the laundry there was some question about us getting it back the same day. The head of the laundry was standing there and personally took it.
Because we couldn't be sure of the status of the train to Malaga, we decided to take a taxi all the way to Malaga. It only took a half hour in rush hour traffic. It cost about 25 Euros. We had a little time to wait until the train left. We took the Avant train which is very fast but not as fast as the Ave train which reaches speed of 300 mph. It took about an hour to reach Cordoba. We travelled through a lot of long tunnels through the mountains.
Ten centuries ago Córdoba was the capital of Muslim Spain. With a population of 900,000, it was Europe's largest city and a worldwide cultural and intellectual center. Later, hordes sacked the city, tearing down ancient buildings and carting off many art treasures. Despite these assaults, Córdoba still retains traces of its former glory -- in fact, of the three great medieval cities of Andalusia, Córdoba best preserves its Moorish legacy.
Today this provincial capital is known chiefly for its mosque, the world-famous Mezquita, but it abounds with other artistic and architectural riches. From the 8th to the 11th centuries, the Umayyad caliphs brought an opulent lifestyle and great learning and culture to Córdoba while most of the rest of Europe languished in the Dark Ages. In those days, Córdoba -- not Madrid -- was the capital of Iberia. In its heyday, a pilgrimage to the Great Mezquita in Córdoba by a Muslim was said to have equaled a journey to Mecca.
We took a taxi from the train station to the Mosque/Cathedral for 5 Euros. We bought our tickets and rented audio guides. The interior was unbelievable. We were certainly glad that we had read our book on Moorish Architecture before seeing this wonderful place. This was one of the highlights of our trip. We don't know why Globus didn't include this on their itinerary rather than Torremolinos. In discussing this later with Kaye, she said that they used to go to Cordoba but people didn't like it and wanted to stay longer at the beach. What a pity! We were the only ones on our trip who went to Cordoba. Some people had no idea about Cordoba and the Mosque/Cathedral.
In the 8th century, this Mezquita (Great Mosque) became the crowning glory of Muslim architecture in the West. With its fantastic labyrinth of red-and-white candy-striped Moorish horseshoe arches, it remains one of the grandest attractions in Europe. Not even the Catholic cathedral placed in its center can destroy the impact of this "forest" of architectural pillars.
The caliph of Córdoba, Abd el-Rahman I, built this place of worship in 785. To do so, he razed an earlier Visigothic basilica, which itself had replaced a Roman temple. Initially, the Great Mosque covered 251,000 sq. ft.
Before the Catholic takeover, the mosque had a total of 900 pillars. Remarkably, 856 pillars are still standing. Their red and white peppermint stripes are formed in large part by white stone and redbrick voussoirs. The pillars are also built of onyx, granite, marble, and jasper, filling a total of 19 aisles. A second row of arches set above the first almost doubles the height of the ceiling. Some of the most interesting pillars came from the ancient Visigothic basilica. These had impressive carvings on their capitals. Since some of the pillars brought in were taller than others, they had to be sunk into the floor of the mosque. The oldest known pillar came from Egypt and dates from the reign of Amenophis IV.
In the very heart of the Mezquita lie s the Mihrab, where the faithful gathered for ritual prayers. The Mihrab was the holy sanctuary where the Koran was kept. It was also said to have another precious treasure: a bone from the arm of the prophet Muhammad. The bejeweled Koran was copied by the caliph's own hand and anointed with his blood. This sanctum is covered by a scallop-shaped dome, which is richly decorated with beautiful colored mosaics and gilded tiles.
Although the people of Córdoba rallied against the idea, Emperor Carlos V ordered that part of the mosque be torn down to make way for the Catedral, which disfigured the mosque. Later he regretted his decision, saying to his architects, "What you are building here can be found anywhere, but what you have destroyed exists nowhere."
Construction began in 1523 in the Gothic style, although later additions were in the Plateresque and baroque styles, and even the Renaissance shows up in decorative figures in the medallions in the apsidal vaulting in 1560.
The floor plan on the left shows the development and extensions of the mosque.
The yellow area (#12) was the earliest part, built in 786 by Abd-ar-Rahman I.
The gold area (#13) was an extension with 80 columns by Abd-ar-Rahman II in 832.
The next extension is the pink area (#14) by Al-Hakam III in 962. He added 190 large columns, 24 mid size columns and 84 small columns in the dome.
This was followed by the Aisles of Almanzor in 987. This extension in the green area (#15) added 8 aisles and 356 new columns.
The cathedral can be seen in the middle, built partly in the gold and green areas.
The Mihrab is the small area (#23) on the right side of the pink area. Each small dot on the floor plan represents a column.
The light tan area on the right side of the plan (#10) is the Orange Tree Courtyard.
We stayed in the Mosque/cathedral over two hours. We had lunch at Burger King which was just across the street from the entrance. You can't escape the American quick hamburger joints. It did taste good.
We headed off in the direction of the Roman bridge, but took a wrong street somewhere and ended some blocks from the bridge. Then we just followed the river and found it without difficulty. We walked down past it looking for the entrance to the Alcazar but we ran into construction. So back to the bridge, through a Roman arch and towards the Mosque/Cathedral and found the Alcazar. Our book said it was closed for siesta, but it wasn't and they were allowing people in for free. It was very beautiful and quite interesting.
Commissioned in 1328 by Alfonso XI, the Alcázar of the Christian monarchs is a fine example of military architecture. Ferdinand and Isabella governed Castile from this fortress on the Río Guadalquivir as they prepared to reconquer Granada, the last Moorish stronghold in Spain. Columbus journeyed here to tell Isabella his plans for discovery. And it was at the Alcázar that Ferdinand and Isabella bade Columbus farewell as he set out to chart unknown territory and discover a new world.
The Alcázar was also the headquarters of the dreaded Spanish Inquisition for three centuries. A former Arab bathhouse in the basement was turned into a Counter-Reformation interrogation center.
Originally, the Alcázar (Fortress) was the abode of the Umayyad caliphs. Of their former palace, little remains except ruins. You can see some Moorish courtyards with ornamental basins and some cooling pools and baths. Also on view are some impressive Roman mosaics from the time of the Emperor Augustus.
The Gardens of the Alcázar display their Arabic origins, complete with terraces, pools, and cooling fountains. There are Cypresses, towering palms and orange trees. We were hot and tired and sat in the cool and fragrant gardensThe centerpiece of the fortress, The Patio Morisco (Court of the Moors) is another lovely spot, with twin pools and an ivy-covered grotto, and pavement decorated with the coats-of-arms of León and Castile.
After spending some time there, we decided to head back to the train station. We had a little wait but enjoyed a lemonade and snack in the station. On our trip to Cordoba we rode backwards. Going back to Malaga we also had assigned seat backwards, but there were seats across from us going forward. We heard some English and said hello to the couple facing us. They live in Cornwell, UK. They have a mobile home in Spain near Malaga. It was interesting to hear their stories of students that they had housed through Experiments in International Living. They had had students from Japan, Africa and a blind student from Denmark. They got off a stop before us so we changed seat and rode forward to a while. We took a taxi back to the hotel… it cost 18 euros (24 to go). We showed the taxi driver our room key with the address and he took us right to the door.
Went to our room for a few minutes and then off to the pharmacy for my pills. They were ready. We went back to our room and sat on the balcony for our gin and tonic. We checked on our laundry but it wasn't ready yet. We had planned on eating the hotel dining room, but the menu didn't sound appealing so we went back on the boardwalk and found a nice restaurant. We shared a salad. My wife had Lasagna, and I had seafood spaghetti. When we entered the restaurant, we were asked if we wanted smoking or non smoking. I think they go by tables and not sections. As we were finishing up our dinner, the man next to us started smoking. We moved to the bar to get our check. We stopped on the boardwalk for ice cream. When we got back home our laundry was finally waiting for us.

Black Listed News Politics
Don Lemon Rails Obama Heckler
Neil Munro has not gotten off easy for interrupting President Obama on Friday in the middle of his immigration policy speech. Both liberals and conservatives alike—including Meghan McCain and Fox News—have panned Munro, and CNN host Don Lemon gave his two cents in his "No Talking Points" segment on Sunday. After Tucker Carlson likened Monroe to White House correspondent Sam Donaldson, who reported during the Reagan years, things really got heated.
First Donaldson reacted with a statement. "Never once did I interrupt a president in any way while he was making a formal statement, a speech, honoring awardees or in any other way holding the floor…What this man did yesterday is something new, to me wrong and unusual," he said. "Let's face it. Many on the political right believe this president ought not to be there – they oppose him not for his polices and political view but for who he is, an African American!"
Lemon commended the seasoned journalist for calling out the "elephant in the Rose Garden" and then took his jabs. "There's a huge difference between Sam Donaldson and Neil Munro. For starters, who the hell is Neil Munro?" He added that the job of a journalist is to show respect and civility towards their subjects, especially in the White House in front of an international audience. So far no official word has been made on revoking Munro's WH press pass, but many are calling for it to happen.

But Dickson ordered last week that the trial be rescheduled for early August, and reserved Monday's date for a motion hearing.
South Carolina State Plastering LLC (SCSP), the lead defendant, applied stucco to about 4,500 Sun City homes from 1998 to 2007, according to court documents. Anthony and Barbara Grazia filed their suit in May 2007, and it became a class-action case in 2012.
Residents have said their homes were damaged by improperly applied stucco, which can cause mold. Some houses had minor damage, while others needed partial replacement of walls.
Del Webb Communities Inc. (which operates Sun City), Pulte Homes Inc. and Kephart Architects Inc. are third-party defendants in the suit, since SCSP alleged it installed the stucco under the direction and design of those companies.
Court documents show that 187 people opted out of the case and took individual settlements from SCSP ranging from $1,500 to $50,000. The combined payout totaled more than $2.6 million.
According to court documents, defense attorneys said, as of August 2017, their clients had spent "approximately $23 million ... to date in attempted corrections as part of the Right to Cure Process."
The S.C. Right to Cure Act requires a homeowner to give 90 days notice of the intent to file a lawsuit over construction and lays out a timeline for a contractor or subcontractor to assess the situation and offer repairs, money or some another solution.
However, plaintiffs in the Grazia suit "allege that the only appropriate repair of the damaged homes is to de-clad and then re-clad the houses with an appropriate stucco system, at a cost of approximately $75,000.00 per structure," according to court documents.
When reached Friday afternoon, a representative of Dickson's office said the judge could not comment on the case or scheduling matters associated with it, and said Charleston attorney Michael Seekings was the point of contact.
Seekings, listed as one of the plaintiffs' attorneys on court documents, did not return a phone message and email left for him Friday morning.
John Chakeris and Phillip Segui, also representing the plaintiffs, did not return phone messages left with their offices.
Defense attorney Victor Rawl Jr. declined to comment when reached Friday afternoon. And defense attorneys Suzanne Deters and Marshall Crane could not be reached immediately for comment.
Sun City resident Ross Glatzer, whose name appeared on the email, could not be reached for comment. Neither could Jason Schloss, likewise listed on the email.
When reached Friday afternoon, Anthony Grazia declined to comment.
The email, which Sun City residents received this week, said, "Our lawyers anticipate that it will take some time to get the settlement finalized, as there are a number of details still to be worked through.
"Over the next few weeks we will issue updates starting in about 30 days, as they progress towards finalizing the settlement."

Charles Stanceu (Romanian: Charles Stanciu; January 9, 1916 – April 3, 1969) was an American professional baseball player of Romanian descent who played in 39 Major League games in 1941 and 1946 with the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Phillies. A pitcher, he batted and threw right-handed.

Career
After growing up in Canton, Ohio, Stanceu, played minor league baseball beginning in 1934 and ending in 1949. Perhaps his best success was with the 1940 Kansas City Blues for which he went 15–8. After his major league days he pitched three seasons for Columbus.

Stanceu was member of the 1941 Yankees team who won the 1941 World Series. He appeared in 22 games for the 1941 Yankees team, which won 101 games as well as the 1941 World Series.

During World War II, Stanceu was in the US Army. He came back in 1946 to pitch some more for the 1946 Yankees as well as for the 1946 Phillies. After three games in 1946 with the Yankees, he was selected off waivers by the Phillies and pitched in 14 more games for them in that season.

After baseball
After baseball, Stanceu worked for the Monarch Rubber Company in Hartville, Ohio. He died on April 3, 1969, aged 53, of a heart attack.

His son, Timothy, was the Chief Judge of the United States Court of International Trade from 2014 to 2021.

Matagorda Snook?
Frank H. Knebel
The surf sucked. Huge rafts of sargassum, seemingly thick enough to walk on, drifted with the current and each cast resulted in pulling the equivalent of a round bale from the Gulf. My wife and I were disappointed and frustrated to say the least. We had just driven nine hours with the anticipation of speckled sides and bronze backs, only to catch algae.
In an effort to salvage the day, I suggested that we give the jetties a shot and within minutes my truck was following the ruts to the mouth of the Colorado River. Little did I realize that this decision would lead to one of the most unique fishing experiences of my life.
Calm, green, sargassum-free water met us at the pocket formed between the old jetty and the new one on the east side of the river mouth. The first cast resulted in a thick 28 inch red stripping line from my reel while my wife, Jean Anne, dealt with her first-ever speck, a fat 22 incher, then moments later, a 26 inch sow. (I'm afraid her nose rose higher into the air with every trout that she caught while I only caught "lowly" reds.)
After landing my third red in twenty minutes of fishing, I experienced one of those moments that sticks with you forever. The strike was powerful and so was the run. My mind's-eye saw a thirty-inch-plus bull red on the end of the line. But then violent headshaking was transferred through the stretched 12 pound mono, and my mind's eye smiled as the vision changed from one of a red to that of a gator trout.
But then the powerful fish came out of the water in the headshaking tail-dance of a largemouth bass with sudsy spray showering off its silver sides, marked with a very noticeable black lateral line. My mind screamed, "SNOOK" as my mouth simultaneously screamed, "SNOOK!" The only time in my life that I can remember being as excited was the first time I saw a naked woman. I had caught a friggin' snook!
But wait a minute. I wasn't in Florida. Heck, I wasn't even near Port Isabel. I was standing in the sands of Matagorda Beach a couple hundred miles north of the tropical haunts preferred by this species. So where did it come from? Was it an immigrant from the Lower Laguna Madre or is the long absence of this prized game fish finally over? These questions soon led to another adventure. One of self-education on this species, its history in Texas waters, and the status of snook in the Matagorda Bay System.
There are actually 3 species of snook found in Texas waters. The largest version, the common snook (Centropomus undecimalis) is the one Capt. Ernest Cisneros has become a pro at targeting as his photos and articles in this magazine can attest. The largest population of Texas-bred snook are found in South Bay and the Port Isabel area while lesser populations exist as far north as Corpus Christi. Rarely do you hear of one being caught further north; though it does happen on occasion. The common snook is probably the only one of the three to attain the Texas legal size of 24 inches.
The other two species, C. mexicanus or Mexican snook, and C. parallelus are both grouped under the name "fat snook." These are smaller but stocky-built specimens with the same attitude as their bigger cousins. According to the folks at the Perry R. Bass Marine Fisheries Research Center, these two species are more often found in our bay systems. Both of these can be identified by folding back the pelvic fins. If the fin touches the anus then it's a fat snook. I was not aware of this fact at the time of my catch but upon reflection and a close look at the photos, I am convinced that my snook was a "fatty."
Disappointed? Not one, dang bit.
Prior to the 1940's, snook were almost as common as speckled trout along the Texas coast. In 1893, more than 20,000 pounds of snook were commercially caught in Galveston Bay while in 1928 over 230,000 pounds were landed from the waters around Port Isabel. But then the bottom fell out, and by 1961 no commercial landings were recorded. Overfishing, agricultural runoff, industrial waste, lack of freshwater inflow due to the damming of rivers, and a series of harsh winters all got blamed for the demise of the fishery. Yet, no one knows the exact cause of the collapse, though it was probably a combination of all of the above.
As for Matagorda Bay, researchers from Perry R. Bass state that an occasional snook finds its way into their gill nets during their surveys–the fat snook being sighted more often than the common snook.
While researching for this article, I found several forum threads discussing snook in both East and West Matagorda bays. One thread on www.fishwestend.com dated January 14th, 2010 displayed a photo of a snook found dead in Matagorda East Bay; while another on www.2coolfishing.com reported one caught in the Diversion Channel and three in the Matagorda surf during 2012. I also found on this same site reports of several being caught in Matagorda East Bay and other reports of snook killed by red tide in both the surf and bays. A TPWD report records an unspecified number of snook found amongst other fish killed by the freeze during the 1983-1984 winter.
Then you have the rumors of huge snook seen by divers around the Big Jetty at Port O'Connor and mid-bay gas well platforms, and of juveniles being caught in cast nets by bait fishermen in the Tres Palacios and Carancahua Rivers.
So is the resident population of snook in the Matagorda Bay System on the rise? Truthfully, I don't know and neither does TPWD. However, with the previous few winters having been mild and with the influx of mangrove snappers up to 3 pounds becoming common place, along with the huge rebound of tarpon off Port O'Connor, it is logical to assume that we may begin to hear of an increase of anglers landing more of these worthy gamefish. That is provided that the winters remain mild and the estuarine habitat and freshwater inflow required by the juvenile snook remains constant and protected. I'm curious to see what effect the LCRA's new water project at Bay City will have on the snook and other species as the amount of freshwater from the Colorado River will be decreasing.
Furthermore, the increase in the snook population will also be dependent on anglers that are lucky enough to catch a Matty snook. Any snook caught should be released to help insure the survival of a possibly rebounding population. With females producing over 1.25 million eggs per spawn and a large percentage of the male population morphing into females between 1 7 years of age, a strict conservation ethic will go a long way toward seeing the return of what the old timers called pike.
As for the 20 inch fat snook that slipped, tripped, and stumbled upon my line; it may not have been as gargantuan as the one Pam Johnson caught that graced the August 2013 cover of this magazine, but it, just as any snook caught in Texas waters should be, is a trophy that has turned me into a bona fide snook fanatic.
Some Snook Facts
Old salts called the snook "pike" because the name "snook" is derived from the Dutch word "snoek" which means pike.
The Texas state record snook is 57 lbs. 4 oz. caught by Louis Rawalt in 1937 off Padre Island.
The current world record snook is 57 lbs. 12 oz. set in 1991 in Costa Rica. However, in March 2014 Orlando, FL fishing guide Ward Michaels caught a 60 lb. snook in Costa Rica that is pending IGFA approval.
Male snook can live 15 years and reach 39 inches in length. Fifty percent of them reach sexual maturity at about 18 inches or 2 years of age. Male snook are protrandric hermaphrodites, and somewhere between 50 70 percent of them turn into females between 1 to 7 years of age.
Female snook can live about 21 years and can grow upwards of 48 inches. Slower to mature than males, they don't begin to produce eggs until around 5 years old, which puts them in the 30 inch range.
Back to Opinion & Narrative


Backpackers on a long trip in a remote location often rely on their knowledge of the clouds and wind to know what the weather will be like in a few hours or the next day, but this method is not too reliable and cannot be used to make predictions several days into the future.
The best forecasts take into account the weather events that are happening over a broad region. Knowing where storms are now can help forecasters predict where storms will be tomorrow and the next day. Technology, such as weather satellites and Doppler radar, helps the process of looking over a large area, as does the network of weather observations.
The chaotic nature of the atmosphere means that it will probably always be impossible to predict the weather more than two weeks ahead; however, new technologies combined with more traditional methods are allowing forecasters to develop better and more complete forecasts. Read on to learn more about some of these tools!
Unlike ordinary radar, which is able to report the location and strength of precipitation, Doppler radar is additionally able to indicate the wind direction, wind speed and boundaries between warm fronts and cold fronts. This is why Doppler radar has become such an indispensable tool for weather forecasters.
Satellites, dropsondes, weather stations, weather buoys, ships, and airplanes are all sources of weather data. Weather stations and buoys record various weather parameters at fixed locations. Ships and airplanes act like moving weather stations, recording weather data at their current position. Also, each day 1800 dropsondes collect weather information as they drop through the sky after being launched from balloons or released from airplanes. Satellites, with their unique perspective on the weather, are important sources of weather data as well. The data from all of these sources are channeled into a supercomputer at a central location to make weather predictions that take into account the current weather.
Numerical forecasting, or using mathematical calculations to predict the weather, is not a job for the average calculator, or even your average desktop computer! Supercomputers, which are capable of doing more than 2 billion operations a second, are fed weather information from satellites, weather stations, and other sources. To generate weather predictions, they perform many calculations that take into account broad-scale factors such as air pressure differences, solar radiation, the Earth's rotation, and the water cycle, as well as the current information. This allows forecasters to generate more accurate forecasts based on a comprehensive regional perspective about the current weather, instead of just observations at a single point. Thus, backpackers who sets out into the wilderness knowing a weather forecast generated using computers and regional data will have a good idea of the weather that they may encounter.

Q: Unable to use cublasXt I tried the following simple program using cublasXt to multiply two matrices. I get all zero output. Can someone let me know why? My computer can use other cuda libraries normally, and I have two GPUs. My machine is 64bit, as is required by cublasXt.
Btw, I've checked that none of the function calls in the program returns error.
#include <stdio.h>
#include "cublasXt.h"
#include <curand.h>

void fill(double* &x, long m, long n, double val) {
  x = new double[m * n];
  for (long i = 0; i < m; ++i) {
    for (long j = 0; j < n; ++j) {
      x[i * n + j] = val;
    }
  }
}

int main() {
  cublasXtHandle_t xt_;
  cublasXtCreate(&xt_);

  double *A, *B, *C;
  long m = 10, n = 10, k = 20;

  fill(A, m, k, 0.2);
  fill(B, k, n, 0.3);
  fill(C, m, n, 0.0);

  double alpha = 1.0;
  double beta = 0.0;

  cublasXtDgemm(xt_, CUBLAS_OP_N, CUBLAS_OP_N,
    m, n, k, &alpha, A, m, B, k, &beta, C, m
  );

  cudaDeviceSynchronize();

  for (int i = 0; i < m; ++i) {
    for (int j = 0; j < n; ++j) {
      printf ("%lf ", C[i *n + j]);
    }
    printf ("\n");
  }

  cublasXtDestroy(xt_);
  return 0;
}

A: The first issue with your code is that you have no call to cublasXtDeviceSelect.  This is a necessary part of a cublasXt code, to tell the CUBLAS runtime how many devices to use and which devices to use.
As a simple proof point, try adding the following immediately after your handle creation call:
if(cublasXtCreate(&xt_) != CUBLAS_STATUS_SUCCESS) {printf("handle create fail\n"); return 1;}
int devices[1] = { 0 };  // add this line
if(cublasXtDeviceSelect(xt_, 1, devices) != CUBLAS_STATUS_SUCCESS) {printf("set devices fail\n"); return 1;} // add this line

This should cause your output to change from all zero's to all 1.2 (although only using 1 GPU)
However you will probably want to read the section of the documentation I linked above (for example if you want to use 2 GPUs, and they are of the correct type).  cublasXt functionality at this time, that is included in the toolkit, for multi-GPU usage is limited to 2 devices (but note my comments below) and those 2 GPUs must be on a dual-GPU board, such as a Tesla K10 or GeForce GTX 690 (I think Titan Z or Tesla K80 should also work, just to pick other examples).
Additional details of licensing are here.  You can get an evaluation version of the "Premier" package that has fewer restrictions on GPUs.

Did Hamilton's Bachelor Contestant Get a Rose?
Dave Published: January 8, 2019
Courtesy: ABC
The season premiere of ABC's The Bachelor debuted last night and one of the contestants competing to win Bachelor Colton Underwood's heart is Hamilton, NJ's Angelique Sherman. (Click here to check out more info on Angelique).
SPOILER ALERT: If you have not watched last night's episode and do not want to find out what happened, please stop reading now.
Angelique was not one of the contestants featured in her own vignette. In fact, her first appearance in the episode didn't happen until about halfway into the episode in a short segment about how many of the women were wearing sequined dresses. Her dress was a light purple, strapless and glittery. She was also wearing some glitter body makeup. Colton mentioned that Angelique had "the glitter going on" and she, in turn, warned him that "it leaves a little glitter behind, so you'll remember me."
Credit: ABC
After being introduced to all 30 contestants, Colton proceeded to spend a little more one on one time with some of the women.
We don't know if Colton spent time with Angelique... because if he did it was not featured on the episode. And even though she didn't seem to be in the middle of any of the drama among contestants that seems to be part of every Bachelor episode, she did get some decent camera time commenting on the night's events.
Before we knew it, we had gotten to the rose ceremony, where 23 contestants would get a rose and move on the next round and 7 would be eliminated. Those of us that are rooting for Angelique were nervous about whether or not she would get a rose. Apparently, she was nervous too, saying she could "literally feel (her) heart pounding." She also said that getting a rose would "seal the dream deal" for her.
It took a while, but with just 4 roses left... Colton finally called out Angelique's name and asked her to accept the rose, which she happily did.
As long-time Bachelor viewers know, the order in which contestants get roses is no indication on who is among the favorites to win, so with that, Angelique (and her fans) are on to round 2.

It was a powerful reckoning for me, and has carried me through this Solstice day, as I look toward a new year, a new era… of who I am becoming, who I choose to be, and who is playing along all around me, seen and unseen.
And… I wanted to ask if this is your quote: "I release history and dance into the Mystery." I love it and would love to share it with some folks, with your name attributed if that is correct.
the eclipse last night. I will email you more about it, but what I can say here is I had the same thoughts.
create for ourselves, simply by inquiring.
Thank you for this deep and vulnerable share Kathy. I like: "distracted by (or what I prefer to call otherwise attracted to)." This applies to our lives everywhere all the time – ha.
You have shared some great stuff here an I will pass it on. I too like your, "I release history and dance into the Mystery," quote.
your stopping by and leaving a comment.
"I release history and dance into the Mystery"nearly knocked me down – and then the picture that went with it — and the caption "wash it all away" – ohmyword!
I love how you wrote about being more of an explorer than a scientist – I think I'm the same way, but never would have come up with such a great word — EXPLORER – oh, I like that!!
And Kathy, the way you ended "Into the light everyone…" OH! Thank you for this!
Beautiful, Kathy. Thank you so much. You and I were meditating at the same time. Well, actually, I was fretting. Then I was suddenly awakened. I was knitting. The cats and dog were sleeping all around me. The birds were arrowing through my yard and using the birdbath and feeder. There was a little fire in my fireplace. I was neither hungry nor thirsty, and am well on my way to health. I was, in fact, in a perfect place. And yet, I was fretting about things that may never come to be. Well, really! Your thoughts, of course, were much more evolved. But I know we are sisters in spirit.
Once again, your wisdom rings true for me! Thank you for sharing your story and your wisdom. I appreciate how you bring nature's wisdom to us in this way.
I LOVE your photographs. The bird washing it all away particularly struck a chord with me.

Newcastle United's team of the decade: Lee Ryder reveals his best Magpies XI
Newcastle United have had some excellent players over the last 10 years - here's who our chief NUFC writer opted for
Newcastle United started the decade with a team inspired by British stars under the guidance of Alan Pardew.
They will end it with a team that lacks a regular goalscorer in the front-line and relies on defenders and midfielders to find those match-winning moments.
But who has made it into the best team of the decade?
After watching Newcastle over the last 10 years from the Press box, here's my best XI.
Tim Krul
The Dutchman gets the nod over the other main contender in Martin Dubravka.
Krul was the man between the posts for Newcastle's top five season in 2012 but until an unfortunate knee injury suffered on international duty, he was the go to man for three different managers in Alan Pardew, John Carver and then Steve McClaren.
Krul kept plenty of clean sheets for Newcastle but arguably his finest hour was an away trip to Spurs when he produced a Premier League record of 14 saves at White Hart Lane.
After that game, Pardew described Krul as the "best keeper in the Premier League".
Krul's performances at the start of the decade resulted in interest from AC Milan and Barcelona, but his knee injury in 2015 sparked an unfortunate chain of events which eventually led to Rafa Benitez moving the crowd favourite on to Brighton.
Even now though Krul speaks fondly of Newcastle and said last year: "I loved my time at United."
Mathieu Debuchy signing for Newcastle United in January 2013
The Frenchman played just 43 games for the club between 2013 and 2014 but was clearly a class act.
Signed from Lille after a series of scouting missions from ex-scout Graham Carr, the French international oozed quality on the ball.
Debuchy was a snip at just £5.5million but in an eyebrow raising decision he was sold to Arsenal for £12million.

Centre-backs
Fabricio Coloccini
The Argentina international bounced back from a tough start on Tyneside to become terrace favourite.
The £10million acquisition signed for Newcastle in 2008 but really found his feet in the Championship and by 2010 he was winning plaudits from pundits and supporters alike.
Colo won player of the year in 2011 and went on to be awarded the captaincy by Pardew.
The South American left Tyneside in 2016 after several attempts to leave the club and get out of a long contract and sign for San Lorenzo.
Some may not agree with this one, but Lascelles was one of the cornerstones of the club's important rise back from the Championship in 2017.
He was thrown the captain's armband as a youngster and maintained his level of performance to a stage in which England were considering him for the World Cup in 2018.
Lascelles' no nonsense style and leadership earns him a slot in the back four.
Newcastle United defender Paul Dummett (Image: 2013 Getty Images)
Paul Dummett
The Academy product has been a mainstay of the Toon team for most of the decade.
His 7/10 match ratings are probably the most talked about merit marks in club history, but the reality is he has often earned much higher scores since making his debut in 2013.
Dummett has barely been out of contention when fit with Pardew, John Carver, Steve McClaren, Rafa Benitez and now Steve Bruce all using him regularly.
The former Welsh international's reliable displays at left-back and in the heart of defence have fended off his early critics and supporters now chant his name from the Gallowgate End.
His off the line clearance at Bournemouth is a typical example of how Dummett is always prepared to put in that extra mile for his team.
Former Newcastle United midfielder Yohan Cabaye has named his best-ever 11
One of the finest technical players to have played for United in the last 10 years.
Cabaye's all round game was excellent and he also had a goal threat with 17 Premier League strikes to his name.
The midfielder linked up well with the likes of Papiss Cisse and Demba Ba but quickly became a crowd favourite.
Who could forget his winner at Man United?
Chants of "Don't sell Cabaye" erupted around St James' Park as his performance got better and better.
But that's exactly what Newcastle ended up doing, leaving fans on Tyneside heartbroken when he left the club for Paris St-Germain.
Hatem Ben Arfa (Image: PA)
Of course, Ben Arfa can play in several positions and the reality is he will do his own thing wherever you played him.
But the creative Frenchman has to be in the team of the decade somewhere.
Like most geniuses the former Marseille man had his flaws and mood swings.
Yet he was unplayable when he was up for it and goals like his solo effort against Bolton Wanderers at St James' Park and his stunner early in his career at Everton summed up what he could bring to the table.
Other highlights included another solo goal against Blackburn in the cup and a wonder strike against Fulham.
Cheick Tiote celebrates the equaliser against Arsenal (Image: PA)
Cheick Tiote
Tiote arrived at Newcastle as something of an unknown but had cult hero status by the time he left.
Strong in the tackle and very much a willing runner, Tiote's work-rate and determination quickly won over fans.
His performances quickly resulted in Arsenal and Manchester United watching him closely but he remained at the club.
Tiote's only goal for the club was his wonder strike in the 4-4 draw with Arsenal.
Behind the scenes Tiote was a warm and bubbly character and news of his death in 2017 left supporters devastated just months after he left the club for China.
Demba Ba in action for Newcastle United (Image: Matthew Lewis/Getty Images)
Signed in 2011, Newcastle made the mistake of inserting a bargain £7million release clause into his contract.
The Senegal striker was an instant hit with supporters at Newcastle scoring early hat-tricks against Blackburn and Stoke.
Wonder goals included a fantastic curling effort at the Gallowgate End against Spurs while a scorching volley at Reading also sticks in the mind.
Ba was a real leader behind the scenes but Chelsea activated his release clause in 2013 after he'd scored 29 goals in 54 Premier League appearances for the Magpies.
Andy Carroll scores for Newcastle in 2010 (Image: PA)
The Geordie striker commanded a £35million fee from Liverpool in 2011 meaning his Toon career was ended prematurely.
Carroll has the unique honour of being the only player to play in the first game of the decade and the last one too.
But the 6ft 4in's contributions first time around shouldn't be forgotten.
He fired Newcastle to promotion in 2010 with 19 goals before some outstanding performances in the Premier League - including a hat-trick in a 6-0 rout of Aston Villa.
Carroll's second spell at the club may not have seen him score yet but he has been putting in some fantastic performances.
Carroll also won a call-up to the England squad while at United and the £35million that came he club's way when he was sold helped finance the team that finished fifth.
Even Carroll admits he shouldn't have left the club but he has the chance to finish his career exactly how he wants to now.
Papiss Cisse during a Newcastle United training session
Papiss Cisse
The Senegal striker was worthy of the number 9 shirt at Newcastle.
He burst on to the scene with a wonder goal against Aston Villa into the top scorer and helped lead the charge into Europe.
At times Newcastle failed to get the service levels right for Cisse but he still found the net with regularity.
Perhaps his standout moment was the curling volley at Stamford Bridge that sunk Chelsea in 2012.
But he helped keep Newcastle in the division in 2013 with some important goals.
Not least a late strike against Fulham when he hurdled his way into the Gallowgat End.
Cisse managed 44 goals in his four years at United and loved the club, the city and the fans.

I saw something on LinkedIn this morning that I've been seeing a lot of lately: the self-quoting meme. In other words, the individual has posted a meme that they've created featuring their own quote, often accompanied by a slick, professional photo of themselves.
Every time I see this I have a visceral reaction. Without even thinking, I cringe.
This morning I asked myself: what's that about? I examined my reaction and I'm sharing my thoughts here. I'd also like to know what you think.
It must be incredibly flattering to discover that someone was so inspired by something you said that they created a meme around it and circulated it on social media. What a compliment! But when you have to create your own self-quoting memes to compliment yourself, that rubs me the wrong way. Do you feel the need to create these memes because you don't receive many genuine compliments in real life?
If you're selling services that require us to work together one-on-one, your self-quoting memes will discourage me from hiring you. They suggest that you are not as down-to-earth as I need you to be. Your ego may prevent us from connecting as human beings.
I also wonder if I'd really be getting the best value for my money because your ego and your need to "celebrify" yourself may be distracting for you. In my experience, people who are truly passionate about something and really know their stuff are too obsessed with their area of expertise to be obsessed with themselves.
Don't get me wrong — I believe self-promotion is necessary, but there's something about self-quoting memes that cross a line. They make me feel distrustful.
I'm also finding that many of the quotes people use are not that pithy, clever or unique. So if this is the best they have to offer — if they really feel these lame nuggets of thought leadership are worth building memes around — that makes me question not only the quality of their offerings, but their instincts as well.
If you're thinking about creating memes that incorporate your own quotes and image, I'm asking you to think twice. I have a negative reaction every time I see that and I can't be the only one.
If you have a marketing consultant urging you to take this route but your gut is telling you This feel icky, listen to that. Don't be afraid to think for yourself.
I'm seeing self-quoting memes in my LinkedIn feed almost every day now. If I am, you probably are too. So I'm curious: how do you feel when you see one?

Please keep those pictures rolling if you can to please us Razr users. Especially please do post what widget and launcher you are using to save the headache of asking. I'm on stock and haven't decided if i want a launcher and i do although. I will find a way to take a picture of my cell. Does anyone know or do i have to download a app?
Nothing fancy at the moment ... but I'm more of a simplistic look type of person. Plus I love black and red... so the default background image works at the moment.
Using go launcher with BeWeather pro clock/weather widget.
Thach, Cbollo and Lostdwarf like this.
What launcher are you using and where did you get this? The works? I like it. Let me know.
Is that a launcher? Where did you get it? What's the name? I also couldn't stress enough the fact i haven't seen more pictures of users with custom launchers. I'll do some research cuz i really haven't decided if i wanted to download these apps cuz i'm still enjoying the stock but it does feel like it needs something to pimp it like high tech look lol.
I am using ADW Launcher. I just removed the dock and use only the icons on my home screen. Also, when I hit the middle part of the wallpaper, it launches my app drawer...which I rarely do because everything I need is under one of the four icons.

John Alvin Hoffstadt (* 24. Oktober 1917 in Chicago, Illinois; † 27. Februar 2009 in Thousand Oaks, Kalifornien) war ein US-amerikanischer Schauspieler.

Leben
John Alvin Hoffstadt wurde als Sohn eines Chirurgen und einer Opernsängerin in Chicago geboren. Bereits während seiner Highschool-Zeit interessierte er sich für die Schauspielerei, sodass er 1939 nach Kalifornien zog, um am Pasadena Playhouse Schauspiel zu studieren. Dort lernte er auch seine zukünftige Frau June kennen, die er 1947 ehelichte und mit der er bis zu seinem Tod 2009 zusammen blieb. Mit dem Ausbruch des Zweiten Weltkriegs legte er seinen Nachnamen ab und nannte sich fortan nur noch John Alvin. Während dieser Zeit unterzeichnete er auch einen exklusiven Vierjahresvertrag mit Warner Bros., wodurch er in über 25 Filmproduktionen Warners, häufig ohne Erwähnung im Abspann, auftrat.

Bis zu seinem Karriereende, welche mit seinem letzten Film Taschengeld endete, trat Alvin vermehrt in Fernsehserien und -filmen auf, seltener in Kinofilmen wie Das Mädchen Irma la Douce und Ein tödlicher Traum. Neben vereinzelten Gastauftritten in Serien wie Der unglaubliche Hulk und Mord ist ihr Hobby waren Alvins Rollen häufig so unbedeutend, dass er in vielen Produktionen nicht im Abspann erwähnt wurde. Obwohl er regelmäßig als Schauspieler beschäftigt war, hatte er in keiner der Produktionen eine tragende Hauptrolle.

Am 27. Februar 2009 verstarb Alvin an den Folgen eines Sturzes, den er in seinem Pflegeheim, das er seit 20 Jahren bewohnte, erlitt. Er wurde eingeäschert und seine Asche wurde über den Pazifik verstreut. Er hinterließ seine Frau, einen Sohn und eine Tochter, sowie vier Enkel und drei Urenkel. Ein Sohn verstarb bereits 1969 an einer Überdosis Drogen.

Created in 1892, materials – oil on canvas, dimensions – 200 by 327.5 cm. Exhibited in the Feodosia Picture Gallery. IK Aivazovsky, Theodosius, Crimea.
The picture belongs to the period when the artist in his pictorial style had already reached perfection, but, despite his considerable age, he was not going to stop painting – the 90s. XIX century. were incredibly fruitful. The master even rewrote this canvas in 1899, making a practical mirror image.
Theodosius, the native and beloved city of Ivan Konstantinovich, more than once appeared in his works and remained forever in the heart. However, here a detached onlooker sees only a piece of the Feodosia coast, onto which a mast with fragments of sail has been broken off by an algae-covered mast. The wreck of another, not yet completely sunken and banked vessel is visible in the distance. Probably, the ship ran aground or got a hole on the rocks. The tragedy occurred a long time ago, and now only the wind rules in a deserted expanse.
Above the restless sea full of breakers, the moon rises gradually, painting with its ghostly radiance a part of the sea and almost the whole sky in a yellowish-green, slightly painful and disturbing shade. The night light rises from a cloudy bed that resembles the silhouettes of animal heads: on the left a bear opened its mouth, on the right – a dog with erect ears.
A rather restrained palette was used, but the number of shades of blue – from dark azure to sapphire and green – from pistachio and turquoise to grass and dark green, is impressive. Unlike most works of the marine painter, the horizon line is well traced; this gives the canvas even more realism and draws attention to the majestic sky. It seems that now the waves will begin to move and rapidly fall on the shore, having watered everything around with salty splashes.

Q: How to make sum of subarray is ZERO with minimum coefficient (similar to coin change algorithm) I'd like to know how I can express a minimum sum of each coefficient.
Sum must be zero, and the list's integer can be multiplied with each coefficient.
For ex :  (-5, -2, 3, 7) to make sum as 0,
if -5 has coefficient 2,
3 has coefficient 1,
7 has coefficient 1
then -5*2 +3*1+7*1= 0, and sum of coefficient will be 2+1+1=4.
Also, if -5 has coefficient 1,
-2 has coefficient 1,
7 has coefficient 1
then -5*1 +(-2*1)+7*1= 0, and sum of coefficient will be 1+1+1=3.
Therefore, the most minimum sum of coefficients will be 3.
I thought that this problem can be solved as like coin changing algorithm.
So I decided to modify the coin changing algorithm code.
the below is coin changing algorithm sample code.

I used arraylist before, then, I saw the advice, so I modified code as using hashmap as like. But, the problem is the coin contains (-) minus value, and sum must be zero, so below codes occured error.
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map.Entry;

public class CoinChange {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int[] coins = {-37,35,2,5};
        int amt = 0;
