British government mounts world's largest bank bailout
Jean Shaoul
Alistair Darling, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, has just announced the world's biggest bailout for a single bank in a bid to rescue the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS).
One year after an initial bailout, the government is to put an additional £25.5 billion into RBS, in which it already has a 74 percent stake. In addition it has set aside a further £8 billion in case the bank runs into further trouble, as is widely expected. While RBS insists it will only use this £8 billion in a dire emergency, the annual fee for this sum indicates a high probability of failure.
In order to maintain the fiction that this is still a private and not a publicly owned bank, the government's additional equity stake, equivalent to a further 12 percent stake, will not have voting rights, allowing RBS to retain its listing on the London Stock Exchange.
Despite the bailout, there is to be no attempt to control the bank's activities. It will be business as usual as far as proprietary trading is concerned—trading in risky financial instruments. While the government has announced a cap on cash bonuses for top banking executives, this is only a deferment for three years and still leaves numerous ways of circumventing the cap.
The Treasury will also underwrite £282 billion of its toxic assets, less than the £325 billion RBS had applied for in February. This is in return for the bank agreeing to accept a larger proportion of the costs should it prove unable to recover the book value of its assets.
Darling even presented this as a gain for the taxpayer at RBS' expense. He said, "The likely risks [to] the public finances have been reduced". This is a barefaced lie and all the financial institutions and commentators know it. The British Treasury stands four square behind RBS and will have to pick up the tab when these toxic assets turn out to be worthless.
Furthermore, no one knows exactly which assets are being underwritten by the government and whether this is indeed a realistic appraisal of RBS' assets. Nor is it known who will control the loans covered by the Asset Protection Scheme. In the short term, this subterfuge allows the government to reduce its own contingent liabilities in a bid to preserve its AAA rating with the credit ratings agencies.
Darling also said that he would no longer prevent RBS from carrying forward last year's losses and any future losses to offset its future tax liabilities. This amounts to a further £10 billion subvention to the bank at taxpayers' expense.
The total cost of the RBS bailout has now reached £53.5 billion and far surpasses all previous banking bailouts anywhere in the world. It dwarfs the $45 billion (£27.4 billion) state handout to Citigroup in the United States.
Supposedly in the interest of promoting competition in the banking sector, something that the Labour government has worked assiduously to reduce over the last 12 years, Darling announced that RBS would have to sell off some of its high street branches currently branded as RBS, its insurance subsidiaries such as Direct Line, Churchill and Green Flag, RBS Sempra, its commodity trading arm, and its global payments division. In other words, the profitable parts of the bank are to be hived off leaving the government holding the rump.
The Treasury will also give a further £5.7 billion to the Lloyds Banking Group, which now includes the failed Halifax/Bank of Scotland (HBOS). However, the form of the payment means that the value of the government's stake in Lloyds will remain at 43 percent. This capital injection means that Lloyds will withdraw entirely from the government's toxic asset protection scheme. This sleight of hand reduces Lloyds' costs, while rendering the taxpayers' implicit liabilities invisible and off balance sheet.
In addition, Lloyds will be required to sell 600 of its branches, the Cheltenham & Gloucester Building Society, its TSB brand, and more than 3.5 million customer accounts.
Lloyds is to raise a further £13.5 billion in a rights issue, generating a record fee of £350 million for its underwriters and lawyers. That this is possible is due entirely to the Bank of England's quantitative easing scheme, whereby printing hundreds of billions of pounds has served to prop up the value of property prices and some of Lloyds/HBOS' assets.
The way that Darling introduced these measures is instructive. Posing as some kind of bank regulator, he sought to present this plundering of taxpayers' money as not only a net saving but also a major government initiative to increase competition. All of this is a complete fiction.
Within a couple of days of Darling's announcement that the banks were to be required to sell off some of their branches and subsidiaries, it emerged that the European Commission had insisted on the divestment as a condition for receiving State Aid. Without the break-up, the rescue would have been illegal. It was forced upon an unwilling government that had fiercely resisted all calls to break up the banks.
And while 10 percent of the banks' personal accounts or 7 percent of branches are scheduled to be sold, none of this compensates for the wave of mergers and takeovers in the sector in the last few years. Prime Minister Gordon Brown himself personally sanctioned Lloyds' takeover of HBOS, even though it breached competition rules.
More importantly, given the current market conditions and the banks' previous inability to sell their subsidiaries in the run up to their collapse last year, it can only mean a fire sale of the banks' best assets. As such, it constitutes yet another subvention to the financial oligarchy.
Finance union Unite has warned that 25,000 branch jobs are at risk. RBS said that the future of 6,000 of its staff is in doubt has announced that at least 3,700 jobs will go in the next two years. HSBC has announced 1,700 job losses in its second round of the restructuring of its 50,000 UK workforce
In all, the government will pour a staggering £39.2 billion into the two banks, although the real cost when the tax concession is taken into account is at least £50 billion. It follows so-called "stress testing" by the financial regulators that found RBS to be in a dreadful state. The scale of this latest rescue outstrips the £37 billion bailout to "stabilise" the banks in October last year and demonstrates that Britain's financial crisis is far from over.
This latest sum is truly colossal. To put it in perspective: it is far larger than the government's entire spend of £34 billion on nursery, primary and secondary schools in 2007-08. It is equivalent to £2,000 for every family in the land.
Furthermore, in so far as none of the commentators have any expectation that this will lead to more lending to business or households, the entire sum will go on keeping the banks afloat. It is the clearest indication yet that the banks are as good as dead. Essentially in a vegetative state, that they exist at all is solely a result of the government's life support system.
In rescuing the banks again and pledging working people's livelihoods for years to come, the government has demonstrated that the Treasury's coffers are nothing more than the financial oligarchy's personal piggy bank.
The implications of the financial crisis, of which this latest bailout is but a part, are spelt out in the latest report from the International Monetary Fund. It puts Britain's structural deficit at 6.8 percent of GDP. With interest rates certain to rise above their currently unprecedented low rates, it singled out Britain as being particularly vulnerable. As it is, debt service charges on government debt will eat up at least twice as much of tax revenues as before the crisis.
The IMF forecast that the increase in interest charges would be equal to the transport budget. While the government has not published its estimate of the annual cost of debt servicing, it has said that debt servicing charges in 2013-14 will be a massive £58 billion. When interest rates rise, the charge will be even higher, underlining the very real concerns about Britain's creditworthiness and even solvency.
The IMF said it would take spending cuts and tax rises equal to about 8 percent of GDP to bring down the debt to GDP ratio to the 60 percent ratio that has been the average in the G20 nations as a whole. This translates into a massive 20 percent cut in government spending.

Why Papa John's, Intel, others said no to Super Bowl ads
Why Papa John's, Intel, others said no to Super Bowl ads
Read More at: USA Today
Much has been written about how this year's Super Bowl has attracted advertisers almost as strongly as Justin Bieber magnetizes teeny-boppers.
Way back in October, Fox announced that all ad slots for the game were sold out — among the earliest in Super Bowl history. But one thing about the Big Game's ad sales has received scant attention: Some formidable advertisers have just said no.
At least seven advertisers from 2010's game aren't returning: Papa John's, Intel, Monster, Dr Pepper, Denny's, Universal Orlando and KGB.
"A lot of advertisers got in last year with deals," says John Shelton, president of Strata Marketing, which works with top media buyers and ad agencies. While few got big price breaks from CBS in 2010, some got extra spots on other shows, he says. Such deals are mostly gone this year, he says.
Advertisers move in and out of the Super Bowl every year. Even veteran Pepsi opted to sit out last year, though it's back for 2011. What's different this year is that coming out of the recession, Super Bowl ad space is hotter than hot. Some who wanted in have been shut out, even though each 30-second slot fetches up to $3 million this year.
Each of 2010's advertisers that turned thumbs down this year has a different reason. Among the most interesting is Papa John's, which Monday will announce plans to give a free large pizza to every American — if the Super Bowl goes into its first-ever overtime. The catch: You must sign up for its online loyalty program before game day (Feb. 6).
"We'd rather give away millions in free pizzas than spend millions on a spot," says Andrew Varga, Papa John's marketing chief.

. Melbourne Hall is a delightful house full of history.
Originally a rectory for the Norman Parish Church, it became the home of Sir John Coke in 1628 and has been inherited by subsequent members of the family to the present day and is now home to Lord and Lady Ralph Kerr and their young family.
Melbourne Hall as it stands today shows what Sir John' s descendants have made of it. The family surname has changed three times due to inheritance via the female line, the full history will be told within the tour, as well as being fully documented in the souvenir guide.
Melbourne Hall
This wood panelled room stands on the site of the original 13th Century rectory building used by the Bishops of Carlisle. Sir John Coke made alterations to the hall in 1629 and the oak panelling dates back to that time. Fine portraits by Sir Peter Lely and Cornelius Jansens can be seen here and 17th Century walnut high back chairs with unique 20th Century tapestry seats surround the mahogany dining table, which is often set ready for the family's evening meal.
Inner Hall
Rt. Hon. Thomas Coke planned an extension to his house to overlook his great garden, but this section was eventually built in 1742-5 for Thomas's son George Lewis Coke. It features the 17th Century Leventhorpe family portraits together with a charming study of Lady
Melbourne Hall gardens are the place to visit if you are seeking a relaxing thoughtful stroll.
The Gardens were planned by Rt. Hon. Thomas Coke in the early part of the 18th century. The colourful and tranquil garden has been imaginatively updated with some new planting by Lady Ralph Kerr, and then also captured in oil on canvas and sketches in fine detail by Lady Ralph Kerr.
The gardens are designed with paths allowing easy access, and intersected by streams that flow through the grounds underneath miniature bridges and through the lush flower beds.
There are various statues along the walkways and also the Blakewell Birdcage one of Rt. Hon. Thomas
Excellent food can be enjoyed in the Melbourne Hall Tearooms

Running Health
How to Treat Running Injuries
by Marianne Spoon
How to Treat Running Injuries with Rest
Rest is an extremely important component for the successful treatment of running injuries. In normal resting phases, the body recuperates and remodels itself. But when a runner trains too often or hard, the body doesn't have the time to repair strained tissue or muscle [source: Karas]. Listed as the first component of the RICE method, rest can be described as either "absolute," meaning little activity and no exercise, or "relative," meaning exercise may be possible, but not at the same rate or intensity [source: Pribut].
The road to recovery isn't always an easy trek. It's unreasonable to think that you'll be able to pick up where you left of in your training after a running injury. Runners who want to continue exercise during recovery should talk to their doctors about the possibility of cross-training during relative rest periods. Cross-training may include less strenuous exercises such as light swimming, cycling, running in a pool and other activities. Even if your doctor approves of a run every now and then, the activity should be added to your workout gradually and with care.
In a perfect world, you could prevent running injuries -- or any injuries for that matter -- from happening. Though you can't always control your body's reactions to exercise, these tips could help you prevent an early end to your running season:
Stretch before and after exercise. Hold each stretch for at least 30 seconds to limber up.
Warm up and cool down with a 10 minute speed walk or light jog.
Don't rush a workout -- your mind will be elsewhere, limiting your focus on pace or form.
Keep a running log -- it'll allow you to document your mileage, running conditions and how you felt after each run.
Bring plenty of fluids to drink during breaks.
Carry a roll of sports bandage in your pocket if your doctor suggests you tape or wrap an area.
Slow down if you feel you're straining a muscle. Stop running if you feel acute pain.
Avoid running too often on hills, uneven surfaces or hard asphalt.
Change running shoes as needed (usually before 500 miles of use).
Give your body the rest it needs between workouts. Don't feel guilty for taking a day off.
Stay in touch with your doctor, and don't be afraid to ask questions about your training.

Injuries and Rest Time

21/2 Velvet Comedy presents: Jim Williams "I'm Still Here"

Velvet Comedy returns to Naproti Absinthe Bar in Brno this Wednesday with a stand-up performance by American comic Jim Williams.
Raised in Arizona, the now Wroclaw-based Williams has been performing across the US and Europe for almost 20 years now, accumulating a number of awards and accolades in the process.
But as mentioned in an earlier Brno Daily article, perhaps more important than these achievements is the light that Williams sheds on many of life's little mysteries, like the superpowers of native English speakers and the true meaning of Smingus Dingus. (Spoiler alert: it's not just about getting presents.)
Although generally light-hearted, Williams' routines have been known to take on a darker tone and an element of social commentary, broaching topics that are difficult to think, yet alone talk about, like the horrors and long-lasting consequences of fish flavoured jello.
But while his sets are deeply thought-provoking at times, audiences leave his performances feeling revived by the fun he pokes at living abroad, something Williams has done for the past 10 years in Poland.
This will be Williams' second time performing in Brno, and he was so impressed by the hospitality of Brno on his first trip here that he recorded a video invitation for its denizens.
Jim Williams I'm Still Here is scheduled to begin at 8pm on February 21 at Naproti Absinthe Bar.
Tickets are available on GoOut, which can also be accessed through this event's Facebook page, with any remaining tickets being available at the door.
Next event: March 7 2018 Velvet Comedy presents Jack Holmes!

Q: Ajax call fails and returns [object Object] I have created a plugin which in I want to send an ajax call and update my database accordingly.
But now when I test my ajax call it fails and returns [object Object] and I cant figure out why.
Ajax action hook:

add_action('wp_ajax_my_ajax', 'my_ajax');
add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_my_ajax', 'my_ajax' );
function my_ajax(){

    echo "test";
    wp_die();

}

Ajax JS call:
function updateDB(name, email, address, co_address, city){
    $.ajax({
        url: '/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php',
        type: 'POST',
        dataType: 'json',
        data: {
            action: 'my_ajax',
            //pictureURL: picUrl,
            name: name,
            email: email,
            address: address,
            co_address: co_address,
            city: city
        },
        success: function (data) {
            console.log("success: " + data);
            //clearInputfields();
            //successMessage();
        },
        error: function (data) {
            console.log("fail: " + data);
        }
    });
}

When I call updateDB I get: fail: [object Object].
I have not configured the wordpress ajax plugin myself. But I it works since we are using it on other parts of our site.
What could be wrong? Do I need to provide more info?
EDIT:
I did this to get the contents of the object:
for(var property in Object) {
    alert(property + "=" + obj[property]);
}

This returned: undefined
Kinda expected though.
EDIT 2:
I removed my comments in my original post so my action hook now looks like this:
global $wpdb;

// If validation has no errors, insert data
if ( $wpdb->insert('fellotest.orders',
    array(
        'picUrl' => $_POST['picURL'],
        'name' => $_POST['name'],
        'email' => $_POST['email'],
        'address' => $_POST['address'],
        'co_address' => $_POST['co_address'],
        'city' => $_POST['city']
        ),
    array(
        '%s',
        '%s',
        '%s',
        '%s',
        '%s',
        '%s'
    )
)) {
    // If $wpdb->insert was successful, send success message back to AJAX updateDB function
    wp_send_json_success(array('message' => 'Successfully uploaded!'));

} else {
    // If insert was unsuccessfull, send error message back to AJAX
    wp_send_json_error(array('message' => 'Error: Something went wrong'));
}

wp_die();

And when I call it with the new error function:
error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
    console.log("jqXHR: " + jqXHR);
    console.log("textStatus: " + textStatus);
    console.log("errorThrown: " + errorThrown);
}

I get this as result:
jqXHR: [object Object]
textStatus: parsererror
errorThrown: SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 4

SOLUTION:
I am sorry but the error was really stupid, I read the network tab and saw what database table i tried to insert it into. And apperently it was preconfigured to another database table. So instead of what I have fellotest.orders It tried to insert it into fello.fellotest.orders. So I moved my table to fello database and altered my insert into simply orders and now it works!

Science Interviews
Mythconception: Genetic Inheritance
Mitochondrial inheritance has spun the scientific community on its head...
Eva Higginbotham, University of Cambridge
Part of the show Microbes: From Farm to Fork
Father and baby
Normally when we have a mythconception we debunk a commonly-held but unfortunately-incorrect idea; but this time it's actually the scientific community that's had one of their own assumptions overturned. Eva Higginbotham has been unravelling the story behind a special kind of genetic inheritance...
Eva - In almost all your cells there are special structures called mitochondria, and these important little guys make almost all the energy a cell needs to do its job. Kind of like cellular power stations. Mitochondria are also special because they have their own DNA that is completely separate from the rest of the cell. And it's been known for a long time that in almost all animals only the mother passes down her mitochondrial DNA to the next generation. What that means is when an egg and sperm fuse together, the egg actively destroys all of the sperm's mitochondria leaving only the mother's mitochondria to populate the embryo. So you could say that, really, we get a little more than half of our total DNA from my mother as we get all of our mitochondria from her too. Or so everyone thought.
There's been some new research that has tipped the scientific community's understanding of mitochondrial inheritance on its head.
A four year old boy who was suffering from fatigue had his mitochondrial DNA sequence examined to see what could be wrong. The doctors were shocked to find that he had not just one population of mitochondria, as you might expect, but two. It was so surprising that they ran the test multiple times in multiple labs to be absolutely certain of what they were seeing: A human with mitochondria from two parents. They started testing the boy's family and with further investigation they discovered that his mum was the originator of this strange phenomenon. She had inherited 60 percent of her mitochondria from her mother and 40 percent from her father.
With this in mind they started looking for other families who might have a similar mixture of mitochondria and found 17 people from three different families across the world. Most of these people were perfectly healthy so it doesn't seem like getting some of your mitochondria from your dad is harmful, in and of itself. The scientists expect that the reason these families are passing down some of dad's mitochondria is probably not a case of "dad's mighty mitochondria" and is more likely due to a defect in the system that would normally destroy the sperm's mitochondria at fertilisation.
There's been a bit of a debate for the last 20 years or so about whether this kind of mitochondrial inheritance is possible and this new research is really strong evidence that yes, it can definitely happen in some circumstances. And this might open the door for some novel mitochondrial treatments as currently, there are no cures for some of the most devastating mitochondrial disorders.
The other thing is, because we don't test people's mitochondrial DNA unless they seem to be suffering from some kind of mitochondrial disorder, and because it seems like inheriting a mixture of mitochondria doesn't make you sick on its own, it could be that dads are passing down their mitochondria more often than we ever imagined. That said the egg is normally so good at annihilating the sperm's mitochondria that paternal mitochondrial inheritance is still likely to be incredibly, incredibly rare.

Most local businesses have some form of competition.
That's a healthy part of any economic market.
But what if your competition isn't exactly as honest or ethical as you are?
Your Google My Business page is one of the most important things you need to have.
It's crucial that you provide accurate NAP info (name, address, and phone number), and that the page is filled in completely.
But what if someone else could edit your Google My Business page without your permission?
And not only that, but they could do it without hacking your profile outright?
Usually, the goal of this is to steal your leads and direct them somewhere else.
You probably had no idea that this was going on. Most people don't.
But it's something you need to watch out for.
A recent article from Moz details exactly how this happens, and what you can do about it.
Spammers update legitimate information on Google as a way to send more leads somewhere else.
This might shock some readers, but it was old news to me since spam of this nature on Google Maps has been a problem for almost a decade.
Merchants who manage their business listing info through Google My Business (which is free to use), are notified via email when edits are suggested.
Spammers and others with negative intent are a problem for consumers, businesses, and technology companies that provide local business information.
We use automated systems to detect for spam and fraud, but we tend not to share details behind our processes so as not to tip off spammers or others with bad intent.
That might sound nice, but turns out it's not totally accurate.
The author did some research and testing of his own and found Google's statement to be.. not totally accurate.
Merchants who manage their business listing info through Google My Business (which is free to use) are notified when edits made by others are published on Google.
Sometimes they are notified by email and the updates are also shown inside the Google My Business dashboard.
Google allows users (other than the business owner) to make edits to listings on Google, but the edits are reviewed by either automated systems or, in some cases, actual human beings.
Although the system isn't perfect, Google is continually making efforts to keep the map free from spam and malicious editing.
So be careful about checking your Google My Business dashboard — because of Google's oversights, someone else could wreck your entire listing, and you wouldn't know about it until the damage had already been done.
You can get the full scoop on this insidious sabotage technique over at Moz.


Likely voters in the new poll split 49 percent for Obama to 46 percent for Romney, basically unmoved from the poll two weeks ago, just before the two candidates met in Denver for their first debate. On topic after topic, the survey portrays an electorate that remains deeply divided along partisan lines and locked in its views.
Nearly two-thirds say they do not need any more information before Election Day, and barely one in eight is undecided or says there is a chance he could change his vote. Even as voters overwhelmingly perceive that Romney won the first debate, the vast majority say their opinion of the president did not shift as a result.
But more people changed their views of Romney, largely in a positive direction. Overall, more than twice as many say their opinions of the former Massachusetts governor improved than say they worsened as a result of the debate. The strongest reaction is among Romney backers, 70 percent of whom say Denver made them think more highly of the GOP nominee.
The poll mirrors other national surveys in showing some improvement in public perceptions of Romney since before the leadoff debate in Denver. But the top line numbers haven't really moved in a meaningful way since two weeks ago, when Obama led by 2 points, 49 percent to 47 percent, which is obviously less a of a swing than we've seen in surveys such as Gallup and Pew.

LEGO KidsFest comes to the Bay Area
This is the first time LEGO KidsFest has come to the Bay Area, and all three days are sold out. It's part fun, but it also part learning in workshops put on by master builders.
At last count, there are over 400 million Lego bricks in existence. Lego sets have been around 81 years, and it's what you can make with them that continues to capture the imagination of kids and inspires them to build things.
One of those kids grew up to be Chris Steininger. At age 30, he's one of seven master builders at Lego who makes these life-size figures and cars.
"The most difficult part of building a model like this is all the different colors," he said. "It makes the model look really dynamic and cool-looking, but all the different colors mean that you have to have a ton of different trays around you -- Lego brick. So when we do models, the fewer the colors the faster it builds."
The prime age for playing with LEGO bricks is about five to 12, but there are no restrictions. So a person of any age could get into it.
Some lego sets have as few as 77 pieces, but London's Tower Bridge set has 4295 pieces.
Dan Steininger got hooked on Lego while playing with his son. Now he's also a master builder.
"There's something satisfying about putting something down, snapping it together," he said. "There's something inside our brain that says, 'Oh, that's good. We have control over that. I made that.'"

Wolf Mates (Collection)
* Under 45k Words
Publisher: Changeling Press, LLC
Wolf Mates (collection) really is a collection of stories by Dakota Cassidy. It's four stories short stories that are centered around a most unusual werewolf pack. Each story has a werewolf in it finding their mate but with a twist.
An American Werewolf in Hoboken starts this collection. Derrick Adams is the alpha of his pack. For some reason his grandmother, Eva has seen a prophecy that he will find his mate in Hoboken. Derrick is put in the pound while in his wolf form only to be adopted by a human, JC Jenson. JC is a beautician and calls her new "dog" Fluffy. Derrick decides to play along but he also gets the apartment across the hall to get to know JC as a human. There's definitely a strong attraction between the two but how is Derrick going to explain that Fluffy wants to be JC's mate?
While JC ends up with a human, his brother Max isn't so lucky. Max finds his mate at the pound. She's a cat and the title of this story is What's New Pussycat. How can a wolf be attracted to a cat? That's what Max would like to know. It doesn't matter as Max and Martine discover.
Julia Lawrence is Derrick and Max's cousin. She just doesn't understand why human guys get so scared when her tail appears. She just doesn't seem to be attracted to the werewolves she's been introduced to. However, when her new financial advisor shows up, Julia is knocked for a loop. Forget the numbers, she just wants the guy. Xavier Wolf may not be a werewolf but he is a shifter. He shifts into a lion which is a bit bigger than the kitty Martine shifts into. Can Julia and Xavier figure things out in Moon Over Manhasset?
The last story in this collection is Ruff and Ready. Emerson Palmer fights for environmental rights and currently is on Adams land fighting an Adams, Lassiter Adams. Lassiter is a known builder of condos and he some how bought the Adams land for unpaid back taxes no one knew about. He's been going around the property digging it up and Emerson has had it. It doesn't matter that they went to school together and were once best friends. Lassiter is up to something and Emerson is out to stop him. Wait until she learns some of the secrets he's been keeping!
Each story is different and yet each ties in with the others. They can be read alone but truly they are so much better when read in order. Each is about 90 pages long which makes them perfect for a quick get away or a lazy afternoon.
The most unique thing about these stories is the pack. This isn't your normal everyday werewolf pack as you've probably guessed by the mates that are found. Introducing a human, a cat, a lion and the mysterious Lassiter into the pack was nothing. After all, Hector raises bunnies and is a vegetarian, Eva gets prophesies from chicken soup and the rest of the werewolf packs make fun of the Adams. This is definitely a different pack.
And because of the different pack, this book is full of humor. From Julia's tail showing up when she doesn't want it to Derrick being called Fluffy, things are a bit off beat and with a different slant on them. It's hard to not laugh when Martine wonders if her kids will be catdogs like on the cartoons.
The characters are not only fun but they do have some depth to them. Derrick is in charge but he also respects his elders and listens to his peers. JC is a city girl all the way and she makes sure Derrick knows that. Max is a self man but Martine is a bit spoiled so she gives him a run for his money. Julia is a business woman who knows how to make money and she wants sex, nothing permanent. Xavier's pride has never had anything but lions in it, how is he going to explain a wolf?
These are truly wonderful paranormal stories that are lighthearted and whimsy. These are totally different from most other stories in this genre and weather you read them all in one sitting or space them out, they are sure to have you laughing at the absurd situations that the characters get themselves into. What is even better, there are some loose ends including bunny loving Hector that need to be wrapped up. I can't wait to read more about the Adams Pack!
Book Blurb for Wolf Mates (Collection)
Derrick Adams is not happy. His pack of werewolves isn't like all the others...

Largely, the "OK, Boomer" phrase is used by dumb children.
Your boomer is showing!
If you seriously have that much emotional investment in a flippant, meme-like term that has the same offensive capacity as the phrase 'oh, bless your heart,' the problem isn't the people calling you a boomer.
I don't really care as much as you seem to, but you go ahead and have fun with it.
"Ok, homo"
That's how offensive it sounds. It's basically saying they're a dinosaur and they're too conservative and old minded. It's the part where you entirely dismiss their opinion that is mean.
I call myself a faggot, calling me homo isn't offensive to me and just makes you look like a bigot.
So we're agreed that "Ok boomer" is for bigots? Cool.
That, or Fox News should start using "ok blackie" next time a black person says something they don't like.
I used quotes because I was quoting it, not because I was saying it.
While I don't doubt you have your reasons for doing what you do, I would say you have bigger issues that changing your sex isn't going to solve.
It's not calling someone "boomer" that is offensive. It's the attitude with the saying. 20 years ago is was "whatever".
"I'm telling you something important or means something to me."
"Whatever!"
You peeps make the biggest assumptions about me. I've never been happier in my life.
"OK, boomer" is meant to dismiss ignorance. For example, when people argue that climate change is a hoax, or that it isn't caused by human activity, despite overwhelming consensus that it is real and caused by human activity from the scientific community that study climate.
People like that vote for the worst world leaders. The ones that are taking care of corporate interests on the backs of the working class. Cuts to critical services in the health and education sectors. Tax breaks for billion dollar corporations.
Unfortunately, people are stupid, and they love to hear what they want to hear, and they always stop paying attention after the election is over. It's very frustrating to come to a discussion with logic, reason, and evidence; and have people refuse to listen because their mind is already set.
It comes as no surprise that this same group has a large overlap with the religious population. They're able to believe in outrageous things, and they don't do their homework to verify if their beliefs are reasonable. All it takes is a man in a suit with a commanding voice telling them what the truth is and that's good enough.
There are a lot of stupid liberals in the world, but there at least an equal number of stupid conservatives. And there are intelligent people in both camps. The intelligent conservatives tend to be very wealthy. They stand to benefit most from conservative power.
The Internet empowers everybody to say whatever they want and so nothing stops an ignorant person from using "OK, boomer!" against an informed person. Ultimately all that it signifies is that the other person either doesn't believe you're capable of having a debate, doesn't get what the phrase means, or is trolling you. You can safely ignore them because you won't likely get anywhere regardless. Though if somebody is saying it to you then you should take a second to reconsider their position, and consider whether you're open to changing your mind or not if presented with conflicting evidence. We should all do this all the time, but obviously some are more open to it than others...
That's an annoying complaint progressives overuse. The less people pay in taxes, the less of a tax break they can receive. It's not rocket science.
how to public videos in A.c??? How???? How How How How How How How How How HOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Stupid, ignorant, disrespectful, selfish, spoiled children. Not that I am surprised.
Say it to my face and you would find out just how much this "boomer" can boom. But that's the problem these days, they all hide behind the internet where they can safely insult and disrespect people without consequences.
Talk about childish. SMRT. Hit me and I'd file charges against you.
Matthew! The peasants are causing a revolt!

Edgar already answered that for you...
I think that it only supports YouTube links, and it only supports the legacy/long form of the URL. For example:
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id]
It will not work with the shorter form: https://youtu.be/id.
I would love to test that out.

A conservative radio host compared 'boomer' to the n-word. Even Dictionary.com was appalled.
On a much lesser scale, it's still being used as a derogatory term. Like "n*gger" or "cr*cker".
It's not anything like the N word. The N word is not just derogatory. It is dehumanizing. It represents hate, oppression, and genocide. It represents a time and place in history where black people were considered less than human by society, from the people to the government to the law of the land. It cannot be compared to anything else.
Cracker is like a butter knife. It isn't even sharp enough to cut paper. Nobody should ever be offended by it. I don't even know why you censored it. That's fucking hilarious.
"OK, boomer" is very much like cracker in that sense. If it hurts to be called it then you must be very weak. I guess the real snowflakes are finally standing up.
There are some weak minded people on the forum, I didn't want to risk anger by censoring one slur and not another. Nobody here said "boomer" was as offensive as n*gger, but that doesn't disprove that it is being used as an insult.
What's insulting is asserting that climate change is a hoax, that cutting critical services could ever reduce the deficit, or that guns save more lives than they take.
Being a baby boomer isn't insulting (other than maybe being old, if you're sensitive about that, but there's nothing wrong with being old either). "Boomer" is used to discard stupid baseless arguments.
There are much more effective ways to be insulting if that was their goal. They're being tactful instead in dealing with cockroaches. I don't think there's any way to be MORE tactful than that given the situation.
What's insulting is when politicians and activists pretend to be fighting climate change when that is actually just an excuse for them to implement big government policies. Climate change is not a crisis to be hysterical over, but it is a reality that people will have to adapt to gradually over time. The collective governments of the world don't have the will or concern to immediately cease all carbon fuel use, and even if they were, prominent greenies will say we can't use nuclear energy either because it's not as pure in their eyes as vastly less efficient and more land-consuming solar and wind technologies (whose use also has negative environmental impacts).


Во многих системах требуется наличие запасной батареи для обеспечения питания в случае отключения электросети. Переключение между питанием от основного источника и питанием от запасной батареи без резкого падения КПД или организация подобной системы без значительного её удорожания является непростой задачей.

Reference design TIDA-01165 is an analog controller for IR Filters. This design highlights the DRV8837C motor driver used to open and close an Infrared Filter when the module is exposed to high intensity sunlight. The simplified layout is suited to cost-conscious applications while also creating a solution that does not require firmware.
This reference design demonstrates how to achieve multiple ADC interleaving with high sampling rates and good resolution at low BOM-cost. The reference design was built with electronic imaging systems in mind. High definition imaging and other high speed signal processing applications require ADCs that can achieve high resolution, high SNR, high speed and low power consumption. These requirements cannot always be met with a single chip. By interleaving multiple SAR ADCs, the design optimizes trade-offs between different ADCs in order to meet all of the system requirements.
This reference design is built keeping an electronic imaging system in mind. Image sensors today force heavy demands on ADCs in terms of: excellent linearity (DNL < 0.5 LSB and INL < 4 LSB), high resolution (12- to 18-bit), high speed (up to 20 MSPS), and high SNR (> 74-dB SNR) to assure superior image quality and freedom from distortion over time. Enabled by the low-noise, high-speed amplifier, fully differential amplifier (FDA), high-speed ADC, and low-noise LDO from TI, this reference design demonstrates how to design a high-performance analog signal chain for digitizing the pixel-output signal in thermal imaging cameras.
The point-of-load power-tree on video surveillance systems is optimized with this reference design. This reference design has a high performance on key parameters such as output voltage accuracy, voltage ripple, and thermal dissipation. This high performance is possible with a small board area and low BOM cost. Thisdesign operates from a 5-V supply commonly found in video doorbells, IP network cameras, and wireless cameras.
This reference design showcases an Infrared LED illumination sub-system for Internet Protocol (IP) network cameras with day and night vision. The system features a cut filter control, LED dimming, ambient light measuring and ballasting for current of each IR LED string. Ballasting is an alternative for driving multi-string LED arrays with a single string LED driver while maintaining uniform illumination under low-light conditions. The OPT3001 Ambient Light Sensor (ALS) with precise visible light measuring and good IR rejection, is an ideal preferred replacement for photodiodes, photoresistors or other ambient light sensors.
MODBUS представляет собой протокол для последовательной передачи данных, которые часто используют RS-485. Референс дизайн обеспечивает шлюз между MODBUS и Bluetooth Smart CC2540 беспроводной микроконтроллер. Он служит заменой для проводов в сети RS-485 и позволяет другому Bluetooth Smart-совместимому устройству, как, например, компьютер или смартфон, легко подключаться к существующей RS-485 сети.
Проверенный дизайн со всей необходимой документацией, графическим интерфейсом пользователя, демонстрационным ПО и руководством пользователя.
Разработки, основанные на SimpleLink Wi-Fi CC3200 Launchpad & Camera BoosterPack добавляют функциональность Wi-Fi камеры в новые или существующие приложения, например, дверные звонки. Становятся доступны такие операции как захват изображений, удаленное управление и передача изображений JPEG (VGA или QVGA) через Wi-Fi.

This reference design enables a single platform for demonstrating end-to-end voice capture, recognition and processing functionality. It further enhances application development time by including pre-integration with the sensory keyword recognition software and the IBM Watson Cloud services. The design also features a flexible microphone platform, enabling configuration based on intended application noise environment.
This reference design uses multiple microphones, a beamforming algorithm, and other processes to extract clear speech and audio amidst noise and other clutter. The rapid increase in applications that are used in noise-prone environments for voice activated digital assistants creates demand for systems that extract clear voice from noisy environments. The TIDEP-0099 reference design uses a microphone array and a sophisticated signal processing to extract clear audio from noisy environments.
This reference design demonstrates how TI mmWave sensor technology can be used for zone occupancy detection to monitor areas of interest across a field of view (FOV) of ±60 degrees with a maximum range of at least 10 m. This reference design uses the IWR1443BOOST evaluation module (EVM) and integrates a complete radar processing chain onto the IWR1443 device. The processing chain includes the analog radar configuration, analog to-digital converter (ADC) capture, low-level fast Fourier transform (FFT), and signal processing.

Blue is a cool color that works well in many rooms including living rooms, bedrooms, and bathrooms. Blue is available in a huge variety of shades and hues from a deep navy to the lightest baby blue. It is important to remember that when using blue, that the lighter the shade, the cooler the room will feel. Blue is a soothing color and works well when you want a feeling of serenity.
Dark blue painted traditional bifold wood shutters in a living room can give it a historic and formal feel, while Hunter Douglas Designer Screen Roller Shades are perfect in a darker "airforce" blue for a contemporary living room.
Blue is perfect in a bedroom because it is calming. Blue has actually been shown to help promote sleep. Blue window treatments are perfect in a bedroom. For instance, Hunter Douglas Vignette Modern Roman Shades are adorable in sky blue in an electic child's bedroom. Hunter Douglas Cadence Soft Vertical blinds in a sea blue call to mind the soothing sound of ocean waves.
Blue is popular color for bathrooms because it gives the room a relaxing spa like feel. For instance, Hunter Douglas Somner Custom Vertical blinds in a pale aqua blue can make a soak in the tub feel like the height of luxury!

Q: Copy multiple raster filenames in a single CSV file in R Can somebody help me on how to copy multiple filenames in a single CSV file? I have 365 raster files and a polygon dataset with 5 features. What I am trying to do is extract cell values corresponding to polygon features. I am able to do this but not able to copy the corresponding raster filenames in a single CSV. Below is my code:
library(rgdal)
library(raster)

setwd("C:/PHP_Win7/Etios/2007")
polygong <- readOGR("C:/PHP_Win7/Etios/2007", "Ethn")
rasterfiles <- list.files(".", pattern = "tif")

for (j in 1:length(rasterfiles)) {
  curRaster <- raster(paste("C:/PHP_Win7/Etios/2007", rasterfiles[j], sep = "/"))
  csvDatatoWrite <- data.frame(coordinates(polygong),
                               polygong$Name,
                               extract(curRaster, polygong))
  write.table(csvDatatoWrite, file = "output.csv",
              append = TRUE, sep = ",", row.names = F)
}

The output I am getting is

I would like to replace "extract.curRaster..polygong." column heading in output sample with corresponding filenames. Any help on this?

A: Your assumed data structure is not correct. Given a polygon feature class, using the extract function will result in a list object with multiple raster cell values associated with each polygon. The way you are collapsing the data in a data.frame will yield unexpected and undesirable results.
You need to create an object using extract and the use lapply to summarize the raster data (eg., mean of raster) for each polygon. This will result in a vector that can then be directly matched to your polygon object.
This is readily illustrated in this modified example of extract's documentation.
library(raster)
r <- raster(ncol=50, nrow=50)
  r[] <- runif(ncell(r))
polys <- spPolygons(rbind(c(-180,-20), c(-160,5), c(-60, 0), c(-160,-60), c(-180,-20)),
                    rbind(c(80,0), c(100,60), c(120,0), c(120,-55), c(80,0)))
    polys <- SpatialPolygonsDataFrame(polys, data.frame(ID=1:2))

plot(r)
plot(polys, add=TRUE)

# Extract raster values for each polygon and check object class
( v <- extract(r, polys) )
class( v )

# Use lapply to summarize polygon raster values to mean
( v <- unlist(lapply( v, mean)) )
class( v )

# Join raster means to @data slot in polys
polys@data["r"] <- unlist(lapply( v, mean))
  polys@data["r"]

# Write csv of polygon attributes
write.csv( polys@data, "myfile.csv", row.names = FALSE)

If you, in fact, want all of the raw values associated with each polygon it will be very difficult to write this into a single csv containing all of the polygons, rasters and unique values (which will vary by polygon). You will really need to rethink your data structure and associated code.
