HOUSTON -- Craig Sagers once lustrous chestnut hair is down to a few unruly strands because of chemotherapy, and on this day of hope a simple green T-shirt and blue shorts adorn the broadcaster known by millions for his ostentatious wardrobe and easy rapport with the NBAs elite.He methodically extended a long, skinny arm to an IV pole holding the stem cells he is counting on to save his life. There was silence as he cradled the tube, watching the crimson liquid drip, drip, drip in a perfect cadence into the cannulai that feeds it into his cancer-stricken body.TNTs beloved basketball broadcaster received a rare third bone marrow transplant on Wednesday to fight an aggressive form of leukemia. The 65-year-old Sager has battled acute myeloid leukemia since 2014 and announced in March he was no longer in remission.Sager knows the odds are against him. Yet, he seems unfazed.I like to gamble, he told The Associated Press. I like to bet on horses, I like to bet on dogs, I like to bet on a lot of things. Ive bet on a lot of things with a lot higher odds than this.Sager has twice before received a bone marrow transplant with stem cells and each time he went into remission for several months. His son, Craig Sager II, was the donor then. This time, an anonymous 20-year-old donor was considered a perfect match.Sager has been hospitalized for a month and has another monthlong stay ahead. He hasnt thought a lot about the man whose bone marrow could change everything for him. But when he learned of his age, he expressed a half-serious concern.My only thing was I was afraid that when he signed up to be the donor, he may have been in some drunk fraternity house trying to impress his date, said Sager, with a smile. And they call him up the next day and say: `Want to come down to the hospital? and hes like: `What?His fears turned out to be unfounded.He came through, Sager said.The latest of nearly 100 procedures Sager has endured in his well-publicized fight was performed at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston and took more than 10 hours to complete. Dr. Muzaffar Qazilbash, Sagers stem cell transplantation physician, researched thousands of such transplants at MD Anderson over the last 15 years.Its less than 1 percent of the total number of transplants, Qazilbash said. Its very rare to have three transplants.Sager, who has worked for TNT for more than three decades, says hes open to trying anything doctors think might help.Ive had every chemo in the alphabet, most of them more than once, he said. Some of them that arent even in the alphabet, theyre just numbers -- clinical trials. But I bet if you added all those up it would have to be like 60- or 70-something. Ive had 23 bone marrow aspirations. Having one isnt fun and Ive had 23. So thats been tough.Despite the rigors of treatment and how they can ravage his body, hes never thought about giving up. He gets angry when he meets other patients who say theyve grown weary of fighting.Man, life is too beautiful, too wonderful, theres just too many things, he said. Its not just you. Its your family and kids and all. Fight. Fight until the end. Fight as hard as you can.With his radiant smile and TV-perfect persona, it takes time to peel back the layers of positivity and catch a glimpse of how hard that fight can be.His attitude is, nobody wants to hear it, said his wife Stacy, his full-time caregiver and No. 1 fan. And so it makes you reflect on yourself and the things that you say when youre complaining about little things in life and trivial things, and it just puts things in perspective.But there are times, often as night creeps into early morning, where it all becomes too much. No medication can help.Ive never had any of those days where Ive actually said `why me, or `I cant do it, he said. But Ill have some dark nights where Ill be here by myself and maybe getting some medicine thats making me jump around like a rabbit. And Im in pain and Ive got chills and Ive got fever and Ive got everything mixed into one and Im throwing up and have diarrhea ... and Ill just say: `Stacy, I need you. I need you.And shell come to me and just hold me and it just makes it better, he said.A few days before his transplant, Stacy came down with a bad cold and doctors sent her home, fearful shed transmit her illness to her husband. Hall of Famer and TNT colleague Charles Barkley heard she couldnt be there for a couple of days and hopped on a plane from Phoenix.However, Sir Charles had hip replacement surgery less than a month ago and wasnt cleared to travel. He said his doctor was livid when he learned Barkley had defied orders and flown halfway across the country. Barkley informed the doctor that it was an emergency.Craig Sager is one of the most interesting people Ive ever met, Barkley said. We go to see Sager to cheer him up and by the time you leave youre like, `Is anything wrong with him? He has the most positive attitude ... When you go to try and cheer him up his attitude is so upbeat he cheers you up.Sager found inspiration in a girl who lost her fight with cancer before her ninth birthday. He befriended Lacey Holsworth and her family while working on a story about her illness and remained friends with her parents after she died in April 2014. Holsworth had cheered on the Michigan State basketball team and had a close friendship with star Adreian Payne.Last weekend, her parents visited Sager in his Houston hospital room. They left him with a more tangible reminder of her bravery.They brought me little Laceys boots that she used to always wear to games and a picture of her wearing them, said Sager, clutching the high-top cheetah footwear with laces made from silk ribbons. That little girl was so amazing. Fought for all of those years, was always positive, always cheerful, always brought other peoples spirits up. So if Im laying here feeling bad, I just think about Lacey and it puts everything in perspective.Sagers also bolstered by his drive to be back on the sideline for the NBA season. He doesnt expect to have recovered from the transplant in time for the season-opener on Oct. 25, but aims to return by early November for more of gentle sparring with the likes of San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich .It would be a victory not just for him, but for all the people his fight has inspired.It means that youre surviving and youre winning, he said. That youre knocking down obstacles and clearing hurdles that are put in front of you and youre doing them with flying colors.On Wednesday, five colorful balloons were tied to one side of his hospital bed. Several had birthday greetings and two said: Happy birthday, its your big day.Festive, yes. But Sager was born in June.When you get stem cells they say its your new birthday, Stacy explained. So this is his fourth birthday.Sager tried to downplay the pageantry surrounding the event, saying it wasnt a big deal.That earned a sweet, yet stern, admonishment from his beloved wife.It is a big deal, she said. Its giving you life.Wholesale NBA Jerseys 2018 . Uniteds eighth defeat of a wretched campaign means Liverpool, which currently occupies the fourth and final Champions League place, could go nine points clear of its fierce rival by beating West Bromwich Albion on Sunday.

Q: GridFS put() with Mongoose dies in write concern code? I have the following code (trimmed, assume all the closing stuff is there), which dies deep down inside GridFS:
var Grid = require('mongodb').Grid;
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var db = mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/ksnap');

router.route('/').post(function(req, res) {

    var post = new Post();
    var busboy = new Busboy({ headers: req.headers });

    req.pipe(busboy);

    busboy.on('file', function(fieldname, file, filename, encoding, mimetype) {

        console.log('File [' + fieldname + ']: filename: ' + filename + ', encoding: ' + encoding + ', mimetype: ' + mimetype);
        if (fieldname != 'img') { return; }

        var bufs = [];

        file.on('data', function(data) {
            console.log('File [' + fieldname + '] got ' + data.length + ' bytes');

            bufs.push(data);

        }); // busboy file on data

        file.on('end', function() {
            console.log('File [' + fieldname + '] Finished');

            var buf = Buffer.concat(bufs);

            var grid = new Grid(db, 'fs');
            grid.put(buf, {metadata:{category:'image'}, content_type: 'image'}, function(err, result) {
                if (err) { console.log(err); } else { console.log(result); }
            });

Busboy returns a stream which I put into a buffer, so far so good. This works fine, I've tested it. But when I try to grid.put() the buffer, it dies as above. I've tried to trace it, but I'm having trouble. As far as I can tell, the all the options get eaten in grid.js, so by the time they get passed down to gridstore.js it's just an empty object. Mongoose just doesn't set this, I guess.

A: I was able to get past this error by manually setting db.safe = {w: 1}; after opening the connection, however when I did the grid.put() it just stuck there. Swapping out mongoose for a regular mongodb connection worked, so I guess currently mongoose just doesn't work with GridFS.
I was finally able to get everything (apparently) working by adding the streamifier and gridfs-stream modules, and the following mongo setup:
var streamifier = require('streamifier');
var Grid = require('gridfs-stream');
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/ksnap');

Then later, when I'm ready to save the file to GridFS:
var gfs = new Grid(mongoose.connection.db, mongoose.mongo);
var writestream = gfs.createWriteStream({
    mode: 'w',
    filename: post.id,
    content_type: 'image/jpeg'
});
streamifier.createReadStream(buffer).pipe(writestream);
writestream.on('close', function (file) {
    console.log("saved 300px as "+file.filename);
});

And save the post document itself to MongoDB:
post.save(function(err) {
    if (err) { res.send(err); }
    console.log('saved post '+post.id);
    res.send(post);
});

This was the combination of options that worked for me. One of the keys was using mongoose.connect(), not mongoose.createConnection(), which would let me save the files, but not the documents.

A: I know this has been a while - I saw the same issue - make sure your mongoose session is connected to the DB - ie
mongoose.connection.once("connected", function () {...} has been called, then load the require files and files. This ensures the db object in the connection is bound to an existing mongo session. If you find the mongoose.connection.db is null and mongoose.connection is NOT null then you will have initialized your grid stream with an uninitialized mongodb connection.

Q: Avoid warping when georeferending non-equirectangular map in QGIS3 I am trying to georeference an old map of Italy (https://www.mapsland.com/maps/europe/italy/large-scale-old-political-and-administrative-map-of-italy-1890.jpg) using QGIS3.
I've set a reasonable number of GCPs but no matter what CRS I seem to assign it seems to want to be projected to an equirectangular projection. I'd like to keep the output as close to the original projection (which has curved latitude lines) as possible to maintain the original 'rectangular' shape of the whole image (i.e. get rid of the black/nopixel warping at the edges).
An example with a Lambert target SRS is shown below:

Perhaps there is something I'm not quite getting about setting the correct CRS.
I found these similar questions but not a solution that worked for me:

*

*Georeferenced map of Iceland Stretches

*Problems in changing projection using georeferencer in QGIS

A: There are two things you can do to resolve your problem:

*

*Set your project CRS to the same (or a similar) CRS that your historical map was produced in. Like this, you can avoid massive warping of the image. See also here:
https://gis.stackexchange.com/a/392557/88814

*You can get rid of the black pixels by setting them to transparent. In the raster layer's Layer styling panel go to Transparency and select Add values from display, then click on a black spot and all black pixels will disappear:
Black and white pixels (=RGB 0/0/0 and 255/255/255) are set to 50% transparency each, using the red highlighted symbol and clicking with it on the corresponding color on the map. If Transparency is set to 100, these pixels diappear completely:

You now have more time before you need to install Windows 8.1 Update 1
By Michelle Fitzsimmons 2014-05-12T22:15:00.131Z Operating systems
About a month extra
More time to get the power button on your Start screen
Stop freaking out that you HAVE to install Windows 8.1 Update 1 by Tuesday; Microsoft has extended the deadline to update by 30 days.
Consumers who haven't installed the first Windows 8.1 update now have until June 10 to do so. Microsoft previously set the deadline as May 13, but out of concern for customer safety and enjoyment, decided it didn't need to push for this month's Patch Tuesday after all.
Why the need to jump to one in the first place? It all comes down to safety updates. Those with devices running Windows 8.1 sans Update 1 would've no longer receive updates after the deadline passed.
Since it sounds like enough Windows 8.1 adopters have yet to one-up their OS, Microsoft is giving them an extension without any fallout. As pointed out by Mary Jo Foley at ZDNet, if you're running Windows 8 you're not subject to the update requirement. This is only for those who've hopped on the Windows 8.1 train.
Users with Automatic Update activated in Windows Update will have received the newest version of Windows 8.1 already, so there's no need to worry about updating before next month.
Businesses running Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 have until August 12 to install their comparable upgrades. The date is actually an extension of a previous deadline Microsoft set for companies utilizing any or all of the following: Windows Server Update Services, Windows Intune and System Center Configuration.
When the outrage came through that there wasn't enough time for businesses to upgrade their systems, Microsoft backed off and set the August date.
Will we see the Surface Mini on May 20?

Table last updated 9/30/2019
† Populations may not be currently present.
Means of Introduction: Several transplants into parts of California during 1939 and 1940 were considered experiments to test the effects of changed environment on meristic and morphometric characters (Miller 1968). This species was intentionally stocked by Nevada Fish and Game officials in Ruby Marsh-Ruby Lake complex as forage for introduced largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides; the first introduction, in 1950, involved R. osculus robustus from a headwater of the Humboldt River, and the second, in 1951, from nearby Diamond Valley, Eureka County (La Rivers 1962; Hubbs et al. 1974). Although La Rivers (1962) recognized that R. osculus robustus was native to the Truckee River system, he concluded that the high-altitude lake had no native fishes and that small fishes present in the lake had likely arrived as a result of being stocked along with trout. Introductions of this species in other areas were probably the result of bait bucket releases (e.g., Miller 1952; La Rivers 1962). For instance, Miller (1946) indicated that the presence of Rhinichthys osculus in the Santa Clara River system (California) was possibly the result of its introduction as bait by trout fishermen.
Status: Established in San Luis Obispo Creek and Webber Lake, California (Moyle 1976a), and in Ruby Marsh, Nevada (La Rivers 1962). Reported from New Mexico (Sublette et al. 1990). Fishes introduced into Willow Creek and the Old Borax Works of California failed to survive; however, the species was common at River Springs, California, in 1967, more than 25 years after its initial introduction (Miller 1968). Although Miller (1968) reported on its occurrence in the Santa Clara River system, California, Bell (1978) did not collect the species there.
Impact of Introduction: Unknown in introduced areas. Speckled Dace are known to hybridize with least chubs Iotichthys phlegethontis (Sigler and Sigler 1987), a species under review for federal listing, and therefore present a threat to this rare species.
Remarks: Widely used as a baitfish in certain parts of the western United States (Miller 1952; La Rivers 1962; Baxter and Simon 1970). Contrary to Moyle (1976a), Miller (1968) and Bell (1978) believed that R. osculus is native to San Luis Obispo Creek. They based that conclusion on Jordan (1894), who included this species under the name Agosia nubila in his early list of fishes found in San Luis Creek.

Greenhill Mining Complex: "It's Yours" | Part 1
Disturbance can renew ecologies as well as destroy them.
- Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing, The Mushroom At the End of the World

Standing at the Greenhill Mine Complex in the Crowsnest Pass, Alberta, I look at the abandoned buildings, coal carts and pieces of machinery left behind, evidence of the coal mining operation that was here only 50 years ago. I wonder why this supposed historical site was left neglected while others like Leitch Colleries were preserved, if only to develop tourist attractions that serve to commemorate white settler colonial narratives and impress the logics of extractive capitalism on people and the land. Some would say that we have stricter rules in place for industry to remediate mine sites today but as I outline below, the regulations for the mining industry, or rather lack thereof, do not do enough to protect the health of ecosystems, wildlife, and humans.

This is one of 61 sites deemed to be of significance or note that fall into the Grassy Mountain Coal Project's proposed permit boundary. The Greenhill Mine was operated by Western Canadian Colleries from 1913 until sometime between 1957-1961. In the late 1940s, the company also operated a strip surface mine nearby on Grassy Mountain, where massive coal seams referred to as "the big show" can be found. Coal from the surface mine would have been brought to the tipple at the Greenhill Mine Complex to be processed.

Though I have not been to the summit of Grassy Mountain, which I am not sure is still accessible with the current mining proposal in development, there are images documenting the coal seams and the beautiful mountain landscape. This is where the Grassy Mountain Coal Project, an open-pit metallurgical coal mine is being proposed to be in operation from 2021-2042 by Benga Mining, a subsidiary of Riversdale Resources Ltd. According to the company's 2015 Project Description document prepared for the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency which can be found here, "a total of 60 wildlife species at risk may potentially occur on or near Grassy Mountain: four amphibian species, two reptile species, 11 mammal species, and 42 bird species" (52). These at-risk species include grizzly bear, Canada lynx, bobcat, bald eagle, golden eagle, great gray owl, western toad, hoary bat, little brown myotis, bull trout, westslope cutthroat trout, and more. In a time of climate and ecological crisis, when we have choices to make about protecting wildlife, lands and watersheds, how can we envision a return to coal mining for the future of this place?
Westslope Cutthroat Trout: A Canary in the Coal Mine
A sign near Gold Creek describes westslope cutthroat trout and its status as a threatened species.
One doesn't have to look very far to see the devastation open-pit coal mining has already brought to the Rocky Mountains. Teck Resources Elk Valley mining operations in colonially named British Columbia has led to selenium contamination of the Elk River watershed and across international borders into the Lake Koocanusa watershed in colonially named Montana. High selenium levels in the water have resulted in deformities and reproductive failure in fish, including westslope cutthroat trout, an at-risk species in Alberta and British Columbia. In 2015, the westslope cutthroat trout occupied only five percent of its historic range, in Alberta (Douglas 22) and the westslope cutthroat trout is still listed as threatened today. Five years ago, the federal government declared rivers and streams in the Oldman watershed critical habitat for the endangered trout under the Species At Risk Act. Though the recovery plan was deemed insufficient to protect or recover the westslope cutthroat trout by the Alberta Wilderness Association, the 2019 proposed recovery strategy and action plan for the westslope cutthroat trout identified Gold Creek (located just south of Grassy Mountain), as a critical habitat for the trout.

With an inadequate recovery strategy and little action being taken to recover the westslope cutthroat trout or protect the waterways that will be impacted, the proposed Grassy Mountain Coal Project continues to move forward. The deformities found in and population decline of the westslope cutthroat trout, serve as a warning of the devastating impacts that the Grassy Mountain Coal Project will bring to the Crowsnest Pass.
While government departments and newly formed workgroups work to develop selenium criteria and conceptual modelling frameworks to address the most extensive selenium poisoning that either country has ever seen, the Ktunaxa Nation Council, Kootenai Tribe of Idaho, and the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribe called for lower selenium standards for the Koocanusa watershed to be implemented. The First Nations asked for a selenium criteria of 1,5 micrograms per liter to be implemented. The new criteria is set to be established this year. The letter from the three First Nations also states that there has been a lack of meaningful participation with First Nations on the part of the working group tasked with monitoring and researching the selenium poisoning in the region.
Meanwhile, the mining continues and the selenium poisoning will have long-lasting impacts on the environment that future generations will be left to grapple with. Ric Hauer, a University of Montana professor outlines the extent of the damage, "It will persist for tens of generations. This is not something that 50 years from now we can simply clean up and wipe our hands from" (Scott). It is deeply unsettling to think that in 50 years, when the Elk Valley mining operations have ceased that its destructive impacts will continue and that people will still be dealing with the impacts for generations to come.
It's Yours | Alberta's Environment
I picked up a pin at a thrift store in Mohkinstsis a few years ago. I am not sure who made it, if it was a part of an Alberta Environment and Parks campaign or another effort to encourage people to spend time outdoors. It shows an image of a landscape with the sky, mountains, forest, and water. "It's Yours" is written above and "Alberta's Environment" is written below. A simple message that may seem benign. The environment: it exists for you. You deserve it. It is a message that settler Canadians, particularly white settler Canadians, are so used to seeing and hearing that the insidious intent may remain hidden. Seemly an innocent message about human connection to and enjoyment of the landscape, it can also be read as a message of possession and entitlement exemplifying the colonial mindset rooted in white supremacy, capitalism, and the dispossession of Indigenous peoples from their land and life way. Yes, this pin might be about getting outside and enjoying Alberta's parks but the parks system in what is now known as Canada is part of the violent and ongoing process of maintaining settler colonial control of land.
If you are interested in learning more, this article by Wacey Little Light and poster by Nancy Kimberley Phillips, part of a project by the Graphic History Collective critically examines the history of Canada's parks and the deployment of conservation as a tool used to justify the violent dispossession of Indigenous peoples from the land.

Across what is now known as Canada, the landscape is upheld by settler Canadians as a place to revere, connect, identify with, idealize, and preserve. At the same time, the land is also a natural resource for human use, pleasure, and consumption, destroying the very landscapes that we seek to preserve.
Cognitive dissonance must be practiced at all times otherwise we might imagine new life ways on the land, ones that don't mark it with straight lines, disrupting the migration paths of wildlife, cutting down trees, removing mountaintops, and polluting waterways. Even the term natural resources implies that all that is naturally occurring within the earth's ecosystem from the elements to the atmosphere, can be viewed as materials or components for human exploitation, use, cultivation, and consumption. How else would English, a Eurocentric language, rooted in white supremacy and colonial occupation describe the earth but in capitalist, consumption-driven terms?
Disturbance is naturally occurring within these cycles but what types of disturbances do we control and perpetuate? In her book, The Mushroom At the End of the World, Anna Lowenhurst Tsing tells us that there is no one method of measuring disturbance, that "disturbance matters in relation to how we live" (161). How do we want to live? Do we want to continue to leave contamination and pollution in our land, air and water for the next generations to come?
The Grassy Mountain coal mine is referred to as a "disturbance area" throughout the project description. Disturbance is part of the common language of resource extraction and settler colonization. Who sets the threshold for disturbance? What perspectives are we actually valuing and considering in our processes that are meant to protect and address environmental destruction and degradation that resource extraction brings?
A view of the Frank Slide. Photo: Alana Bartol.
Perhaps we no longer comprehend the troubling realities evidenced in the world as we should be. How many warnings will it take for us to consider new ways of living? To stop new fossil fuel projects? We know that landscapes are not idealized images; like relationships, they are living, ever-changing, moving, and messy. They are alive with the cycles of life and death and they have many inhabitants that create complex networks of support, conflict, and survival.
Tsing reminds us that "disturbance requires awareness of the observer's perspective" (161). Finding ways to care for damaged landscapes caused by human activity and prevent the need for remediation in the first place is not just going to take acknowledging perspectives but transforming the processes in which it takes place. Working groups that work within settler colonial systems rooted in racism and white supremacy and capitalism that serve to support extractive industries will not work. The cycles of destruction will only continue as the stakes get higher for future generations and the earth.
What can we learn from disturbance? What emerges from it? As I wander the Greenhill Mine Complex, I begin to notice a plant that thrives in disturbed areas. It reappears again and again in the coal slags leaps. I wonder where this plant is taking me.

Q: Passing value to method in object in service and then pass response to other method in same object So as title says I'm passing a value from view through controller to method in myService which fire other method in same object.
So the way of this variable is
view -> controller -> service -> method2 -> method1
HTML
<select id="final_price_currency"
    ng-model="selectedCurrency"
    ng-change="currencySelect.fireCurrencyChanger()">
        <option ng-repeat="n in currencySelect.availableOptions" value="{{n.name}}">{{n.name}}</option>
</select>

Controller:
$scope.currencySelect = {
    availableOptions: [
        {name: 'USD'},
        {name: 'EUR'},
        {name: 'GBP'},
        {name: 'CHF'},
        {name: 'PLN'}
    ],
    fireCurrencyChanger: function() {
        var priceField = $scope.price;
        var selectedCurrency = $scope.selectedCurrency;
        currencyConverterService.currencyConverter.convertMoney(selectedCurrency,priceField);
    }
}

Method2 in service (just the beginning):
// parameters are also used in convertMoney
convertMoney: function(selectedCurrency,priceField) {
    this.getRatio(selectedCurrency);

Method1 in service(just the beginning aswell):
getRatio: function(selectedCurrency) {
    var selectedCurrency = this.selectedCurrency ;
    $http({
        url: 'http://api.fixer.io/latest?base='+selectedCurrency +'&symbols=PLN,CHF,EUR,USD,GBP',
        method: 'GET'
    })
    .then(function(response) {
        var currentCurrency = {
            toPLN:  response.data.rates.PLN,
            toCHF:  response.data.rates.CHF,
            toEUR:  response.data.rates.EUR,
            toUSD:  response.data.rates.USD,
            toGBP:  response.data.rates.GBP
        }

And as you see on success call of getting current currency I create another object which stores exchange rate for future calculations in Method2.
Questions:

*

*how can I pass this object which is created on success call in Method1 to Method2?

*is my logic of doing this currency changer on front-end make any sense?

*did I've done some mistakes already?

Note:
I know it's not safety at all. It is only for frontend use.

Supply Rail CM Noise in Audio Applications: Are Local DC-DC Converters the Answer?
August 12, 2021 by Bruce Rose, CUI
Learn about common mode noise, sources of CM noise, and how local DC-DC converters could potentially eliminate these issues.
In the realm of audio amplification, in the home and workplace alike, we won't generally tolerate any peripheral background noise. The mains hum from random noise sources and the occasional buzz from the high frequencies generated by switching circuits are all deemed unacceptable but can be difficult to eliminate in reality. The issue hasn't gone away with the arrival of digital audio, as any offending hiss starts from an analog source – like an instrument or microphone somewhere in the system. This means that any unwelcome signal at the front end gets authentically replicated, whether it's a sneeze from the audience or the mains hum of a badly regulated supply rail.
What is Common Mode Noise?
Despite the many techniques used to reduce electrical noise such as the filtering of Dc supply rails, shielding, precise grounding, and balanced lines, one area that often proves challenging for audio engineers is the pick-up of Common Mode (CM) noise. CM sources contribute noise to the audio line and return related to a local ground which might, itself, be offset from true ground by unspecified Ac and Dc levels. However, with their proclaimed Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMMR), audio amplifiers can eliminate the CM signal up to a point. With a level of 60 dB regarded as typical running performance, the surplus voltage can be reduced by a factor of 1,000, appearing at this level as an audible differential signal. This may appear to be good, but since we have come to anticipate a dynamic range of some 100 dB, even in home entertainment systems, a 1 V CM spike together with a 1 V maximum differential signal will generate a crackle of 40 dB or 100 times louder than even the quietest intended signal; and if you consider that humans can perceive loudness at a starting point of 0 dB, then 40 dB feels pretty intrusive (see figure 1).
Figure 1. Typical sound pressure levels
A major contributor of CM noise is Dc supply rails to audio stages and while there is concern around ground loops causing specific complications in audio applications, it is commonplace that supply rails are not connected to a solid ground near an audio pre-amplifier. This permits supply rail CM noise to be present. Dc supply rails are generally produced by switched-mode power supplies (SMPS), to decrease size and increase efficiency. However, even though they are tracked by local linear regulators, this often isn't enough to offset the CM noise produced by the switcher, resulting in that familiar hum and buzz.
Figure 2. Diagram showing the path difference between differential and common-mode noise
Sources of CM Noise
Why does an SMPS produce common-mode noise? The effect is the outcome of rapid voltage changes at the circuit's switching nodes, which propels current through stray capacitances into the local input and/or output ground or power return. This causes a jump in voltage at the connection owing to its self-impedance.
Figure 2 shows a characteristic route in an outline Ac-Dc converter indicating where the drain of the switching transistor Q1 switches between 0 V and several hundred volts at high frequency, as follows:
Capacitance C1 couples pulses of current into Q1 heatsink, resulting in current being driven into the converter chassis
Capacitor C2 lets peaks in current into the secondary circuit, returning via an unspecified pathway through ground connection or peripheral stray capacitance
The current is responsible for CM output voltages
Line frequency is also capable of producing CM currents via C2, owing to the movement of the line bridge rectifier
Finally, when measuring the main SMPS Dc rail, either positive or return, and with regard to chassis ground, a half-sine line voltage is revealed, driving current through C2, with the potential to become a source of CM voltage.
Figure 3. Stray capacitances couple current transients causing CM noise
It makes sense to avoid letting current into stray capacitances and you can take steps to minimize it, like inserting a grounded screen into the SMPS transformer. Conversely, by doing this, safety considerations can be made harder to achieve. It can also prove physically unworkable, particularly where toroidal transformers are concerned. It's possible to put common mode chokes into power lines, however, you can risk degrading regulation and can end up shifting the problem somewhere else. Another option is to insert spacing to minimize the transformer interwinding capacitance, but this can produce leakage inductance, amplifying stress on components and impacting efficiency in the process.
Local DC-DC Converters: A Potential Solution?
In a problem like this, where the scale of the leakage capacitance can be up to hundreds of pF for larger system power supplies, one smart solution is to utilize a separate, locally placed, isolated Dc-Dc converter with extra-low coupling capacitance powered from a system voltage. This will deliver the comparatively low power requirements of the sensitive analog audio stage. CUI's VQA series range has a part with a +/- 9 V output, which is an ideal candidate with the rated 1 W of output.
Image 4. Courtesy of CUI
With a coupling capacitance at just 6.6 pF, maintaining common mode current to a very low level is achievable. In addition, several of the smaller-sized regulated and unregulated isolated Dc-Dc converters in CUI's portfolio are potential solutions in such applications. For example, the PDP1-M Series has a coupling capacitance considerably lower than those seen in larger Ac-Dc supplies.

Q: Too slow when using both 'tax_query' and 'meta_query' both in WP_Query I have added the full array in end of the post. I have passed 'post_type', 'posts_per_page', 'tax_query' and 'meta_query' for WP_Query.
This page take around 10 - 15 seconds to load... It is too much :-(...
[Sorry : 10-15 seconds is wrong, when calculating it is about a minute... ]
So I was looking at why it is too slow....
If I remove tax_query part page load within 2 seconds... If I remove meta_query part again page load within 2 seconds.
But when I use both tax_query and meta_query page takes more than 10 seconds.... What is the reason for it? How can I do to make this speed up?

According to comments and
  https://tomjn.com/2016/12/05/post-meta-abuse/, meta queries are
  too slow.
Then question is, If I remove tax_query part page load within 2 seconds... If I remove meta_query part again page load within 2
  seconds.

                                        'compare' => 'BETWEEN',
                                    ),
                                    array(
                                        'key'     => 'wpcf-international-total-gross-usd',
                                        'value'   => array(0,1000000000),
                                        'type'    => 'numeric',
                                        'compare' => 'BETWEEN',
                                    ),
                            ),

            );

            $all_movies = new WP_Query( $args );

A: This is a stupendously expensive query, you can mitigate but you can't eliminate the performance issues.
So lets start with the low hanging fruit and work our way up to the big problems
posts_per_page
Always set a maximum, even if it's one you never expect to reach. -1 is asking for trouble:

*

*There's no upper limit, so the DB keeps working even after you have what you wanted

*There's no upper limit, so it's a very real possibility you'll get more results than you can store in memory, leading to memory exhaustion

*There's no upper limit, so there may be so many results that simply transferring them from the database may take too much time

*There's no upper limit, so you may run out of execution time trying to display them all

*There's no upper limit, so the DB can't factor in optimisations to save memory

All the while, other people are using the site at the same time. This is a recipe for high CPU and memory usage (especially when combined with the later problems)
So set it to 50 or 100, and use pagination
Post status
You don't set the post status, which most people don't, but if you did WP_Query would be able to optimise the query to better use table indexes! Always explicitly set the post status you want for performance reasons.
This is because the default is not just publish, but it also factors in private posts that only you can see
pre_get_posts
If I'm not mistaken this looks like search functionality for finding and filtering movies. Why is this a custom query on a page template? Just think of the time spent on that main query that's been discarded, time wasted, resources spent then thrown away

me: I once asked my assistant for a hot chocolate but then changed my mind.
  Rather than say so, I waited until they came back from the coffee shop with the hot chocolate to tell them I actually wanted a tea, sending them out a second time.
Now my tea is 30 minutes late and I had to throw away a hot chocolate, and people are complaining I'm slow
you: Couldn't you have mentioned it before they went instead of waiting till the end to tell them?

By using pre_get_posts you can simplify your loop while eliminating an entire query. I strongly recommend you ask this as a new question:

How do I use pre_get_posts on a page template to avoid a second query?

Multi-dimensional Taxonomy Query
Taxonomies are faster than post meta, much faster, but they are not free.
A single taxonomy query can be quick, but multiple in the same query can drag things down
If you can reduce or combine these in any way, the query will get faster. Intermediate values derived from existing ones can be used for performance purposes by calculating in advance.
Multi-dimensional Post Meta Queries
I cannot overstate how awful the performance of post meta queries are. They are in the top 3 of things to do to slow down your site.
I suspect that the poor performance you're getting from these is actually on the optimistic end, and that as the site gets used, performance will actually get worse as the post meta table expands.
Avoid post meta queries at all costs
But to have multiple post meta queries, is even slower.
For this I'll need several sub-sections:
It's Multiplication not Addition

If I remove tax_query part page load within 2 seconds... If I remove meta_query part again page load within 2 seconds.
But when I use both tax_query and meta_query page takes more than 10 seconds

Because the cost is not additive, speed != taxspeed + metaspeed, it's more like speed = taxspeed * metaspeed. Not just that, each dimension of the query has its own properties that can multiply it further. The end result is that adding 1 more dimension to the query scales the query logarithmically, not linearly.
In addition, you're now involving an additional set of tables for MySQL to search across. Twice as many tables to search, twice as many indexes to load, twice as many temporary tables ( potentially a lot more than twice )
Table Scans
Lets consider these particular meta queries:
array(
    'key'     => 'wpcf-international-total-gross-usd',
    'value'   => array(0,1000000000),
    'type'    => 'numeric',
    'compare' => 'BETWEEN',
),

These can't rely on an index as there's math that needs to take place to determine if it fits or doesn't fit. As a result, MySQL now needs to do a table scan to build a temporary table. It has to do this for each of these, and table scans are slooow, and temporary tables take up memory. Then it has to do the original query but using these new temporary tables, adding more tables to the mix. Then it has to clean up these tables.
You might even have ran out of physical memory during this process, pushing things on to the HD in swap memory, slowing down the entire process. Lets say that it only takes up half of memory in the worst scenario, that's still a maximum of 2 queries at a time before the site starts to suffer
Fixing The Query
Here is what I'm prescribing:

*

*reduce the number of options to search by, or use Elastic Search

*eliminate the post meta queries entirely

*store some post meta as taxonomies

*Store intermediate terms for post meta as buckets

reduce the number of options to search by, or use Elastic Search
You're simply querying for too many things. MySQL isn't built for these kinds of things! So either reduce the number of things you're querying for, precalculate groups so you can combine them, or use elastic search
ES is okayish for simply queries, but it really shines when these kinds of queries crop up. As a bonus your site search becomes significantly better. You won't find ES on shared hosting, but you will on some managed hosting. You can also set it up yourself on VPS'
Eliminate the post meta queries entirely
If it's a choice between taxquery and metaquery, taxquery always wins, hands down. It has better performance, better memory management, faster queries, etc
store some post meta as taxonomies
These meta queries should be tax queries:
array(
    'key'     => 'wpcf-episode',
    'value'   => $episode,
    'type'    => 'numeric',
    'compare' => 'IN',
),
array(
    'key'     => 'wpcf-interval-period',
    'value'   => $interval,
    'type'    => 'numeric',
    'compare' => 'IN',
),

Storing movie episode and interval period as post meta is inefficient now we know that they're searchable/filterable. They should be stored as a taxonomy
What's more, this calculation could have been done when the movie post was saved, and stored as a taxonomy term/tag/category:
array(
    'key'     => 'wpcf-international-total-gross-usd',
    'value'   => array(0,1000000000),
    'type'    => 'numeric',
    'compare' => 'BETWEEN',
),

It's basically asking did the movie get between 0 and 1 billion gross USD, which is pretty much every movie. With this in mind, is it really necessary? Could this field simply be eliminated?
Store intermediate terms for post meta as buckets
I'm looking at these:
array(
    'key'     => 'wpcf-domestic-total-gross-usd',
    'value'   => array( $domestic_total_gross_usd_s, $domestic_total_gross_usd_f ),
    'type'    => 'numeric',
    'compare' => 'BETWEEN',
),
array(
    'key'     => 'wpcf-domestic-opening-usd',
    'value'   => array( $domestic_opening_usd_s, $domestic_opening_usd_f ),
    'type'    => 'numeric',
    'compare' => 'BETWEEN',
),

And I can imagine that there is a set of input boxes, that the user can type numbers into. My inner DB performance guru squirms in horror, but why?
Most things in programming have a tradeoff, even if you don't realise it. In this case, you've ran into a performance vs accuracy tradeoff, and have chosen accuracy. So the solution here is to compromise.
Keep these values stored as post meta, but don't query on them. Instead, query on calculated values, specifically, taxonomy terms representing buckets.
A lot of people do this, if you look at e-commerce sites they don't give you input boxes, they give you ranges to choose from. $500-$1000, $1000-$2000, etc ranges of memory capacity, and so on. This simplifies the UI and improves UX, but importantly, it dramatically improves the performance of filters.
So, create 2 new taxonomies, domestic-opening and domestic-total-gross, create buckets to put your movie posts into, and then present those as filter options. Now you have eliminated post meta queries.
As a bonus, you now have taxonomy-domestic-opening.php and a free archive, as well as better REST support. Use some hooks on save_post to make sure these terms get set using the post meta value to set them, and all will be good
I'm already nearly done I don't have time to go back and redo all my content
And you don't have to! Use the power of WP CLI to convert your existing content so you don't have to recreate it.
If you're on shared hosting and can't run WP CLI commands, download your site to a local environment, such as VVV, then run the WP CLI command on your own computer and upload the result back to your host.

A: Modern versions of MySQL and MariaDB make it much easier to index wp_postmeta and the other metadata tables to handle meta queries efficiently. Here's a plugin to do that.
The new database versions make it possible to stop using prefix indexes (like meta_key (meta_key(191)) on the columns in the meta tables, and index them completely.
That, in turn, makes it possible to exploit the clustered primary key data structures in the new versions.
This SQL statement does, to wp_postmeta, what the plugin does.
ALTER TABLE wp_postmeta
   ADD UNIQUE KEY meta_id (meta_id),
   DROP PRIMARY KEY,  ADD PRIMARY KEY (post_id, meta_key, meta_id),
   DROP KEY meta_key, ADD KEY meta_key (meta_key, meta_value(32), post_id, meta_id),
   ADD KEY meta_value (meta_value(32), meta_id),
   DROP KEY post_id;

Be careful, if you drop the primary key, to do two things:

*

*ADD a UNIQUE key on meta_id first.

*DROP the old primary key and ADD the new one in a single SQL statement.

Tuesday, March 4, 1980. The day after my dad died. I woke up. It hit me. My dad is dead. I felt so empty there was a heavy weight to the feeling.
Today is Good Friday. The day Jesus gave his all for me so that I could have abundant life here and with him. For some reason, I always think of the disciples on the day after the crucifixion. I can feel the weight of their emptiness. There is nothing quite like losing The most important person in your life. The loss leaves a gigantic empty hole in your heart.
But with The death of Jesus, we know the tables are turned. Sunday is coming. The tomb is empty! Christ is risen!
And because Christ is risen, my hope is when I get to heaven I will discover that my dad's grave has been empty all these years also!
It's Friday. I have a four day weekend. The weather is perfect. A cold front came through last night bringing cool temperatures and cool breezes. I'm thinking about heading out into the wilderness for a little car camping and a little hiking. Sounds perfect right?
But, I am not defined by these things. Not by my family. Or my job. Or my pursuit of the great outdoors. I am defined by the love of God in Christ Jesus my Lord and Savior.
The question I ask myself nearly every day is, am I allowing the Michelle Who is defined by God's love to be the Michelle The world sees?
On this date 37 years ago, he laid on that operating table, chest closed, waiting to wake up. He didn't wake up. His life over. His purpose fulfilled. He was my dad.
It's an honor to remember him each year on this date, to remember his purpose. He was a Young man. He was a father. He was a hard worker. He was a provider. He was even a pioneer. Because he was brave enough to offer his heart to his surgeon to practice bypass surgery. Because of him, and others like him, people today have successful heart surgeries. Even now, 37 years later, his purpose ripples on.
I didn't know him for very long. 16 years. He was a good dad. Always encouraging me to pursue life by his example. And through his illness, I discovered my life's work, My purpose. I am a nurse as a direct result of my dad's illness. How amazing is that?

SPACs have shifted from an exciting investment opportunity to another efficient corner of the capital markets. When I wrote SPACs: Croupiers and Incentives, Don't Just Do Something, Sit There, Air Out of the SPAC Balloon, Follow the SPAC Upside, and Concentration vs. Diversification, I saw lots of value to capture in SPACs. Since April, not so much. The current state of play alongside the recent sale of celebrity podcast Smartless to Amazon for $80 million led to the title of this piece.
SPACs soared in popularity on the heels of a decade-long shift in asset allocation that shrunk the number of publicly listed stocks. Expanding allocations to private market strategies, the resulting availability of capital for businesses to stay private longer, and an increase in public-to-private buyouts on the other end of the spectrum all served to change the composition of ownership. SPACs have been one small answer to fill this void.
That said, the wave of SPAC issuance rose for completely different reasons than the narrative of a need to create more public companies. Mainstream media referred to the large volume of SPACs as a "bubble" that would pop. It failed to understand the nuance that drove IPOs.
SPACs had a few months in the hot sun because public markets welcomed new listings in such a way that begged SPAC sponsors to step up to the plate. Through Q4 2020 and Q1 of 2021, the public markets provided a risk-less arbitrage for IPO investors. SPACs that raised capital at $10 per share opened trading around $10.50. I hypothesized why that might be rational in SPACs: Croupiers and Incentives.
The market dynamic created three ways for hedge funds to make money without taking risk when funding a SPAC IPO. First, they sell the unit (a package of shares and warrants) upon listing for a quick pop. Second, they could wait a few weeks, split the unit, sell the shares for around $10, and retain a five-year warrant at no cost. Third, they could wait for an announced deal and own an implicit option the stock would pop upon an announcement. In each case, their investment held $10 of cash in trust that hedge funds could reclaim down the road if the upside did not play out. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand why 573 SPAC IPOs with $177 billion in proceeds remain listed today, most of which came to market while the arbitrage was in place.
That beautiful music stopped playing in March when the premium over trust value in listed SPACs sold off. Today, SPACs trade a tad below $10. That 5% selloff all but ended the issuance of new SPACs. Why pay $10 on an IPO when you can buy the unit for $9.90 a day later?
The exciting trading opportunities for a public investor in SPACs have all but disappeared. If $10 of cash turns into $10 of value in a business, shareholders will evaluate the companies over time. We no longer see the prior volatility in SPAC names that created so much excitement three months ago. Such is the nature of some nascent vehicles and strategies - attractive while present but fickle in duration.
Deal announcements picked up in recent weeks, and shares are barely budging upon the news. The option value of excitement over a hot private company entering the public domain has all but disappeared.
I serve on the Advisory Board of a SPAC (NBST). We've observed a number of deal announcements in companies where we took a pass. There's a year 2000 feel to companies that come public with as-of-yet unprofitable and unproven businesses. Stock investors call them "show me" stories. Some will be winners and plenty will be, well, good shorts.
421 SPACs are still hunting for companies to bring public over the next 1.5- 2 years. Sponsors have strong economic incentives to get a deal done, but the markets have cooled in their reception to speculative plays. Additionally, PIPE investors, who are often required to consummate a transaction, are harder to come by as well.
I've mostly exited the SPAC market. My portfolio hasn't changed much since writing Concentration vs Diversification. I hold a few names trading around $10 with "sexy" sponsors (IPOD, IPOF, HMCO, SKYAU and EQD), and I have an investment in a fund playing the space as a cash substitute with optionality to the upside if market conditions change.
For the most part, I'm SPAC-less. I suspect things will get interesting again about a year from now, when the clock gets close to midnight on hundreds of SPACs at the same time. Until then. should some volatility and a little irrationality return, I'd just assume take a call from a SPAC sponsor to buy the Capital Allocators podcast than dive back into the space.

Brothers, a first-team All-SEC performer and consensus second-team All-American, led the nation with 152 tackles. He also recorded 12 tackles for a loss with 2 1/2 sacks, two interceptions, three pass breakups, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and three blocked kicks.
McGovern is projected by CBSSports.com to be a fourth- or fifth-round pick.
Kansas State fullback Glenn Gronkowski and guard Cody Whitehair also were chosen.
Gronkowski started all 13 games as a redshirt junior in 2015, rushing 11 times for 45 yards and a touchdown. He also caught five passes for 76 yards and a touchdown, all while lining up exclusively at fullback.
Whitehair, who was a four-year starter for Kansas State from 2012 to 2015, is ranked as the No. 1 guard in the draft according to CBS Sports.

What Does ummah of muhammad Mean?
Its to start with do the job, Beats, Rhymes and Everyday living, was criticized for transferring faraway from the group's before, denser, and bottom significant seem exemplified by tracks including "State of affairs" and "Oh My God." The brand new audio, which now leaned in direction of a more laid-back and polished tone, would be embraced a little bit more with the release of Tribe's "Find a Way" from its fifth album, The Adore Motion, although the album alone gained a lukewarm reception, and no second suitable solitary or online video was unveiled.
In interpreting this directive, the prophetic phenomenon is so persuasive that the non-revelatory actions of Muhammad (his text and deeds in addition to getting and reciting the Qur'ān) emerge like a secondary corpus of authoritative truths.
Frequently, it has come in the narrations as Ummatl-Muhammad or Ummati or Ummam, and it means a college or team that follows a prophet. Ummam also is utilized as prior kinfolk and nations that Allah has sent them a prophet.
In addition it instituted tranquil methods of dispute resolution among numerous teams residing as 1 individuals but with out assimilating into one faith, language or tradition.[20] Welch in Encyclopedia of Islam states: "The constitution reveals Muhammad's fantastic diplomatic competencies, for it permits The best that he cherished of an ummah (community) centered Plainly on a religious outlook to sink temporarily to the history and it is shaped essentially by simple factors."[21]
mentioned: "Demonstrate mercy to one who's on the earth, and also the 1 earlier mentioned the sky will display mercy for you."[10]
This paper briefly discusses the unity concerns through the early period of Islam and Despite extremely serious conflicts how Muslims remained prosperous and united until the fall of Khilafat-i-Islamiyah in the course of early 1900s.
If a dispute arises to the interpretation of the verse in Qur'an OR Hadith OR about a certain action we must Adhere to the consensus of the scholars of Islam.
These narrations tend not to necessarily mean that a Muslim ought to ignore this environment rather than do the job for it, and turn out to be dependant upon Some others. Somewhat, he need to get the job done, so that you can achieve his sustenance and assist himself so that he's not in need of Other people.
Meaning: Callers inviting to the assorted deviated schools of considered which is able to direct their followers to your Hellfire.
It is useful for non-Muslims in addition. Below, the purpose of Ummah is a large team of men and women that have a similar language or religion or provide the identical geographical land.
Now, following its energy and distribute, it's returned Again as being a stranger as it initially commenced. How can this be, when the Muslims are perfect in variety and their lands are plenty? Since the Muslims now not comprehend the Din
Muslims have to be pretty cautious in listening, looking at and pursuing of People scholars of Islam who have been chargeable for the destruction of KHILATFAT-E-ISLAMI throughout 1800 and later on.
Meaning: Keep on with the Islamic Empire if they've a person. Which means you migrate to it, Stay among the Muslims, and don't continue being while in the lands with the disbelievers. And you simply provide the bay'ah
Communicating by way of prophetic intermediaries, God intervenes in heritage to remind human beings of the covenant. As being the "seal from the prophets," Muhammad would be the bearer of God's closing message, and ummah of prophet muhammad he is calling for humankind to satisfy its promise and return on the sacred mīthāq

Biden to Have a Better Economy in 2021 Than in 2009, but Worse Options
President-elect inherits a Fed largely out of ammo and faces a potentially divided Congress

Joe Biden has been here before. Twelve years ago, as Barack Obama's newly elected vice president, Mr. Biden inherited an economy laid low by a once-in-a-century crisis.
The good news is that, unlike then, the recovery from the pandemic-driven economic contraction is now under way and with vaccines about to be approved, an end to the latest crisis is in sight. The bad news for Mr. Biden is that while he and his team want to accelerate the recovery, they may not be able to do much about it. Monetary policy is largely exhausted and fiscal policy is at the mercy of Congress.
In 2009, Democrats controlled both the House and Senate. If Republicans win at least one of two runoffs in Georgia next month, they will retain control of the Senate, where they will likely take a harder line on deficits than they did under President Trump.
The emphasis Mr. Biden has placed on the recovery can be seen from who he has asked to steer it. If confirmed, Janet Yellen would be the first practicing economist to serve as Treasury secretary in two decades. She has spent her career in academia and government, including as head of the Federal Reserve, studying and managing the balance between unemployment and inflation.
