Info about EVs
Information about EVs
What is an electric vehicle?
An electric vehicle (EV) is a vehicle that is powered, at least in part, by electricity. EV configurations include battery electric vehicles (BEVs) which are powered by 100% electric energy, various hybrid-electric vehicles (HEVs), and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs): More information.
Electric Vehicles 101:Download the presentation.
What is the environmental impact of an EV?
As green vehicle technologies become more popular and enter the market, consumers have questions about the validity of their environmental impact. Compared to conventional, internal combustion engine (ICE), vehicles; do EVs actually use less energy and emit less carbon dioxide (CO2)? To answer this question, analyses have been conducted that account for all of the energy consumed and green house gases (GHG) emitted from the time a vehicles energy source leaves the well to the time it is consumed by the vehicle, known as well to wheel (WTW) analysis: More information
How is the fuel economy of an EV calculated?
Energy efficiency of electric vehicles is generally expressed as Watt-hours per mile (Wh/mi). In order to compare this value to a fuel economy number for a conventional vehicle, it must be expressed in miles per gallon of gasoline equivalent (mpgge). To calculate a full cycle equivalent fuel economy, additional factors must be used to account for battery charging and electricity generation and transmission: More information
What do battery specifications actually mean?
Battery technology is the core enabling technology for EVs. Terms like C-rate, capacity, specific energy, state of charge and high power are used to characterize batteries. But what do these terms actually mean? And how do they related to vehicle performance, efficiency, range, and life? This summary sheet provides a basic background on batteries for EVs, defines the variables used to characterize battery operating conditions, and describes the manufacturer specifications used to characterize battery nominal and maximum characteristics: More information
How does EVT compare to other Porsche 914 conversions?
The Porsche 914 is a common vehicle for EV conversions because of its robust chassis, large amount of storage space throughout the vehicle (the Porsche 914 was a mid-engined vehicle), and fun design. In addition, a conversion kit specifically for the Porsche 914 can be purchased online. This summary sheet compares the components and performance of the EVT Porsche BEV to other conversions: More information
What are the policies affecting EVs?
The US has many laws regarding electric vehicles. The U.S. government funds research and development programs that work to further EV and Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) technologies. The Federal government and all but two states have laws to promote the use, purchase, and sale of BEVs and HEVs. California is, by far, the leader in AFV incentive laws: More information
What does the future hold for EVs?
As new electric vehicles enter automotive markets in a big way, companies will learn much more about warrantee costs, lifetime, vehicle performance over time, and user satisfaction. The growing market for electric drive will continue to spur innovation in battery technology and charging infrastructure. We can see where some of challenges that have yet to be overcome. Perhaps the largest one will be non-technical. The biggest challenge that remains for the acceptance of electric vehicles is simply education of the driving public: More information

Q: Excel 2010 VBA - Get the left side cell of the current cell? My sheet is like this:
| A | B | ...
---------
| 1 | a | ...
---------
| 2 |   |
---------
| 3 |   |
---------
| 4 | b |
---------

And I want this as my output:
| A | B | ...
---------
| a |   | ...
---------
| 2 |   |
---------
| 3 |   |
---------
| b |   |
---------

So I'm looping column B and whenever there's a value in B then I should replace the corresponding one in A
So far I've tried like this:
Sub LoopRange()

   Dim rCell As Range
   Dim rRng As Range

   Set rRng1 = Sheet1.Range(A1, A1000)
   Set rRng2 = Sheet1.Range(B1, B1000)

   For Each rCell In rRng2.Cells
       If Not IsEmpty(rCell.Value) Then
          'SET THE VALUE OF THIS rCELL TO THE CELL THAT'S LEFT OF IT
   Next rCell

End Sub

How do I do this?

A: Solved it! But check out brettdj's answer. I guess it's better.
Sub LoopRange()

    Dim rCell As Range
    Dim rRng As Range

    Set rRng = Sheet1.Range("B1:B1000")

    For Each rCell In rRng.Cells
        If Not IsEmpty(rCell.Value) Then
            rCell.Offset(0, -1) = rCell.Value
        End If
    Next rCell

End Sub

A: You could do this without loops utilising Evaluate:
Sub QuickKill()
Range("A1:A1000") = Application.Evaluate("=IF(B1:B1000<>"""",B1:B1000,A1:A1000)")
End Sub

A: Use this code
For each c in range("a2"a8")
c.value= c & " " & c.offset(,1)
next c
columns(2).delete

The Above code will combine the two columns
c.value= c.offset(,1)

Who has used the Icebreaker merinos before? Has anyone hiked in them? Anyone use them for just sleeping in or at camp?
I am trying to figure out what weight(s) would be good for cold weather (March AT) to hike in and what weight(s) would be good to sleep in.
If you could, please tell me what you used the 150s, 200s, 260s, or 320s for.
Dunno about the weight, but I bought a pair on Steep and Cheap ans wore them to sleep in. It was unusually warm in the Smokies when I went through so I can't say I truly tested them. I also bought a couple of the lightweight tees and love them.
I've got the Skin 200's for sleeping in...found them extremely comfortable at night (40-50) but too way warm for hiking during the day in mid to late September (50-60).
After 5 days, they still don't stink..
Icebreaker is hard to find at a reasonable price in north alabama...S&C has them every now and then at about 60% off retail...I'll probably try and get some 260s next time I see them up there just to see how they wear..
They seem great but you can find other brands of 100% merino baselayers for much lower prices if you hunt around a bit.
I love Icebreaker! It is very high quality - my favorite wool (although I have a nice Ibex piece too).
I've used the short sleeve 150 for hiking in summer up to around 80 F I think. It's not any hotter than synthetic.
I've used long sleeved Skin 200 crew for sleeping in 3-season (around 20 F to 50 F) and for hiking in similar temps, although if there is much sun and not much wind, the long sleeves get a little warm at the higher end of that range.
I've used the Bodyfit 260 for hiking comfortably in the 30 degree range. Down around 20 with light wind I've used the Skin 200 & Bodyfit 260 together and been comfortable, depending on exertion level.
Unless my sleeping bag is lightly rated for the temps, the Bodyfit is a little warm to sleep in, in my opinion.
I've both hiked and slept in the 200 leggings. It needs to be below freezing or very windy for the leggings not to be too warm to hike in. (Using them under convertible nylon pants).
The lack of stench is great!

Q: Kerberos error KDC_ERR_S_PRINCIPAL_UNKNOWN, should I care? We've got a lot of Kerberos auth used in our environment that mostly seems to work, but a few errors still pop up when we turn on Kerberos error logging.  The two that bother me the most are both KDC_ERR_S_PRINCIPAL_UNKNOWN which according to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772897(WS.10).aspx is that the SERVER is not in the Kerberos db.  Assume a domain of corp.lan, the two error messages are for servername: app.corp.lan and dc1.corp.lan.  Now when I do a setspn -l app , I get plenty of spn's , but none for app.corp.lan.  Same for dc1, setspn -l dc1 returns 15+ records, setspn -l dc1.corp.lan retruns an error.  Is this a 'real' error we should be trying to track down and fix or is that just some odd app doing bad Kerb requests?

A: You need to check on the error messages for what service these SPN's are not registered.
It means that kerberos Auth will fail for these services.
Maybe there's a NTLM second option, maybe not.
You should check this per service returning an error.
I've noticed that sometimes the error message doesn't show the kerberos service that the ticket is being requested for, so you could use Ethereal to check this out. I wish there was some sort of querying (like sql) onto event viewer.
If its all working I usually don't bother, but you could find something bellow the carpet later if you ever need using something that is broken and you never knew.

Q: Man page with preserved text decorations, proportional text and fixed-width code How can I get contents of a man page without the text being wrapped around column 80 or so? I'd prefer the output to have proper formatting, line bolding, underscores, fixed-width font for examples etc.
However, all the command-line utilities and online man page resources provide either wrapped (http://linux.die.net) or un-formatted (man mmap | col -bx > mmap.txt), or improperly formatted (man -t mmap | ps2pdf - mmap.pdf) versions.
How can I get the properly formatted unwrapped text from a man page to be used for further booklet printing?

A: You have not specified your desired output format but from the things you've tried, it looks like you're not picky. This will produce correctly formatted, unwrapped html but it needs to be run on the actual man page file.
So, first locate the man file you're interested in:
$ man -w mmap
/usr/share/man/man2/mmap.2.gz

Them, run man2html on it:
man2html /usr/share/man/man2/mmap2.2.gz > mmap.html

Or, simply
zcat $(man -w mmap) | man2html > mmap.html

The output looks like this:

man2html was available in the Debian repository, I installed it with sudo apt-get install man2html.
Once you have it in HTML, you can translate to other formats easily enough: Actually, these won't work, they'll wrap the line automatically again.
man2html /usr/share/man/man1/grep.1.gz | html2ps > grep.ps
man2html /usr/share/man/man1/grep.1.gz | html2ps | ps2pdf14 - grep.man.pdf

`

A: You can skip installing man2html and use groff to do the HTML conversion as well.
$ man -w netstat | xargs zcat | groff -T html -man > netstat.html

Then use elinks or some terminal web browser to view them.
$ elinks netstat.html

You can skip generating a file entirely if you use lynx as your web browser, which has a -stdin feature for reading in HTML.
$  man -w netstat | xargs zcat | groff -T html -man | lynx -stdin

A: Depending on exactly what you want the output to look like, and what system you're on, here's some things that could be useful.

*

*Setting line length via the .ll macro

*Setting left justification instead of block justification .ad l

*Using man -Tutf8 to tell man to output terminal formatting, even when redirecting stdout.

On my system, I can achieve this by modifying /usr/share/groff/current/tmac/tty.tmac and running man -Tutf8.
But you said you wanted text in a proportional font but code in a fixed-width font.  Most terminals don't have the ability to switch between different fonts, and man pages don't carry any markup to say what's code and what human language.  So your best bet is to find a document in another format for display in a browser or graphical viewer.
Probably the best two places for such documentation are

*

*The POSIX standard

*The GNU libc docs
But there are others, depending on the command or function you're trying to look up.

A: I can't tell if you want some "special" formatting that's different from standard formatting that's done using ANSI escape codes:

I'd prefer the output to have proper formatting, line bolding,
underscores, fixed-width font for examples etc.

(does "proper just mean "the normal way that man does it"?)
But... I will answer with regards to this part of your question:

How can I get contents of a man page without the text being wrapped
around column 80 or so?

Just use:
MANWIDTH=9999 man mmap > mmap.txt

or:
COLUMNS=9999 man mmap > mmap.txt

If you need to do something fancier, you can use groff directly, but it doesn't seem to respect the COLUMNS variable.  This awesome answer provided a solution: use the arguments -rLL <number> and -rLT <number> to groff (apparently undocumented, but man itself uses them).
For example, I use the following function to dump man pages to plain-text (intentionally disabling the formatting that you want to preserve, but just as an example):
man2txt() {
    groff -t -e -mandoc -Tascii -a -rLL=9999 -rLT=9999 "$(man -w "${1}")"
}

You could remove the -Tascii -a and add in whatever groff options you want, if you do in fact want to do anything special in that regard.

Does chromosome 22 have anything to do with sex determination: further studies on a 46,XX,22q11.2 del male.
Several years ago, we presented a patient with true hermaphroditism and partial duplication of chromosome 22 and no evidence of SRY (Aleck et al. [1999: Am J Med Genet 85:2-4]). Recently a 46,XX male with velocardiofacial syndrome and a deletion of 22q11.2 and no evidence of Y chromosomal loci in blood DNA was reported (Phelan et al. [2003: Am J Med Genet 116A:77-79]). We have restudied this patient as he enters puberty. Because chromosomal deletions sometimes involve micro rearrangements of nearby material, we have extensively studied this individual's chromosome 22 looking for evidence of any gene duplication. We studied a number of variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) loci along chromosome 22 in the patient and both parents. Normal Mendelian inheritance of the VNTRs was found. We then used quantitative multiplex PCR of short fluorescent fragments (QMPSF) to delineate the 22q11.2 deletion in this patient (Jacquet et al. [2002: Hum Molec Genet 11:2243-2249]) and found a pattern of deletion typical of the velocardiofacial DiGeorge syndrome. Finally, the patient's DNA has been analyzed using a full coverage human chromosome 22 genomic microarray (array comparative genomic hybridization [CGH]) for evidence of rearrangements outside the classical velocardiofacial DiGeorge associated deletion (Buckley et al. [2002: Hum Molec Genet 11:3221-3229]). The array-CGH profile of this patient confirms the deletion encompassing the typically deleted region associated with the velocardiofacial DiGeorge syndrome and provides no support for additional gene copy number aberrations on 22q. Thus, there is no evidence of any chromosome 22 trisomic material. In this case, the rare events of sex reversal and 22q11.2 deletion may have occurred together by chance.[1]

I knit this sweater years ago then hardly ever wore it.
I love the yarn however, so I decided to unravel and re-knit it into something that suits the yarn better and that I will actually wear, like a cardigan.
This was how far along it was up until 2 weeks ago.
At last the body has been cast on, and I'm up through the waist decreases. (You can see one set of decreases below the blue stitch marker in the photo below.) Progress should move relatively quickly as it's a bulky yarn and a variation of a pattern I've used before.
The yarn is a beautiful wool tweed, sadly now discontinued, (Rowan Yorkshire Tweed Chunky) but a pleasure to use, making it more likely that I will finish it sooner this spring rather than later. The pattern is a cardigan variation of a sweater design called Owls, by an amazing knitwear designer, Kate Davies. Her designs are so beautiful and I am especially inspired by her modern take on traditional colorwork designs and the beautiful details she puts into each one. There are so many designs that I want to knit! The Owls pattern is available through her site or her Ravelry pattern store. I've made the Owls sweater once already using Cascade's EcoWool and it's one of my most worn sweaters. I'm excited to get through this cardigan version and will have a show & tell here of the two sweaters when it's done.
A watch cap is a great project for a beginner; you learn to knit and purl in the round, you learn decreases, and in the case of the hats I did, you can learn to create stripes which is a lot of fun and a good way to use up leftover yarn. The original black watch cap, above, is aran weight yarn and is in an adult size. The pattern for that is from a lovely book called The Joy of Knitting by Lisa R. Myers. The detail I like most about it is that the decreases at the top maintain the ribbing pattern in a really nice way. Many other watch cap patterns do not do this, some are even knit plain at the top! This pattern is a one size fits all adult pattern however, and I needed to make hats for small kids. My workaround was to substitute worsted weight yarn and use much smaller needles. I used the same number of stitches and the result was a small kid's sized version with beautiful rib pattern decreases. I have since found another watch cap pattern, called the Killick Cap, by a designer named Talena Winters. She has stores on both on Etsy and Ravelry. I love that it has the full range of adult and children's sizes and uses decreases that keep the ribbing pattern. Watch caps for all!
Next up will be tales of newly acquired vintage patterns from my mom's (now downsized) stash, a couple of vintage UFO's and some vintage fabric design inspiration! There have been a couple of other design and sewing projects going on as well. Lots of things in progress. For now, here are a few vintage patterns to enjoy from the 50's and 60's with some great details.

Satmar Cancels Grand Annual Dinner
Annual Event usually draws thousands of Chassidim from tri-state area
NEW YORK, November 27, 2020	(Newswire.com) - Central UTA, the Williamsburg Satmar School System, announced today that The Chof Aleph Kislev Event that they host annually for the Tri-state Satmar community has been canceled this year, according to Chesky Berkowitz, Chairman of the Satmar Board.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the safety measures in place to stave off the rising number of cases, the leaders of the Satmar community made the difficult decision to cancel the celebratory dinner that sees thousands of Chassidim in attendance each year.
Chof Aleph Kislev is the Hebrew date that the Grand Rabbi, Joel Teitelbaum, founder of the Satmar dynasty was miraculously saved from the Nazi death camp of Bergen Belsen in 1944. Every year since, Satmar communities all over the world celebrate this day with joyous singing and dancing at a Chof Aleph Kislev Dinner. This day has morphed into one of the most sentimental and meaningful celebrations that attracts thousands of attendees from all over the world.
In recent years, the celebratory event was held in the New York State Armory Building in Williamsburg. This is the first time, in over 60 years, that the event was canceled.
The Satmar community is grateful to Governor Cuomo, Mayor De Blasio and all front-line workers for their tireless efforts in combating the terrible effects of the pandemic. They remain in the hearts and prayers of all its chassidic constituents.

He served as the Chairman of Uganda People's Congress in charge of Greater Kamuli District, in the first and second Uganda People's Congress (UPC) governments. He was a founder member of the Uganda National Congress, which eventually became UPC, under Apollo Obote. He also served on the National Executive Committee in between 1980 and 1985. He was a practicing Anglican Christian.

Early life
Yowabu Magada Kawaluuko nicknamed commander was born on 7 January 1930. to Enos Muwalu Kizige, a farmer, and Amina Kawala Namusubo Tibagonzeka, a house wife, of Nabirumba village, Kamuli district, Uganda. The second born after his older brother Samuel who was born ten years prior (born 1920), Kawaluuko attended Nabirumba Church Of Uganda Primary School, after which he went to Balawoli, Kaliro, and then to Namulikya where he sat his Primary Leaving Examinations.

Yowabu went on to attend Bishop Willis Teacher Training College and later to Kaliro where he trained as vernacular teacher in 1951.
Kawaluuko taught in Kagulu, Kigingi, Nsale, Irundu, Bugaya, Buyende and Nabirumba, first as a grade 3 teacher, deputy and then head teacher, before his retirement in 1993 at the age of 63.

Marriage
Yowabu was married twice, first in 1956 to Ruth Mercy Tabingwa Kawaluuko (14 July 1937 – 9 May 1979 her death) and later to Monica Mukoda Kawaluuko (1980–2016).

Issue
Elizabeth Robinah Jessica Nakaima Nkuutu (29 October 1957 – 7 October 1994), Monica Mercy Ruth Tibagonzeka Alaba TOGA (26 March 1960 – 17 September 1996), Mildred Flavia Sarah Batwalizawo (1972 – June 1975), Hon Moses Kizige MP (born 1962) a serving member of The Ugandan government Cabinet, Rosette Muzigo Morrison (LLM) (born 1964), a senior lawyer with the International Criminal Court (ICC) at the Hague, Annette Mwende Kawaluuko(August 7, 1976 (Kamuli)-July 25, 2020,Milton Keynes United Kingdom), Olivia Lawele née Nambi(1966-). Kawaluuko was also father to 13 other children.

Death and afterward
In late 2015, Kawaluuko was diagnosed with testicular cancer, which was too advanced to completely clear on treatment. He died in Kampala on 30 July 2016, having collapsed on the way to Kampala international hospital, for a routine check up in relation to complications of a recently discovered tumour in his right ear.

His death came as complete shock to most, despite his ill health and it led to complete out pouring of grief seen in the tens of thousands of people that descended on Nabirumba village, Kamuli, Uganda to pay their last respects, effectively turning the place into a temporary shrine.

Following a thanks giving service at Saint Andrew's church Bukoto in Kamapala on 3 August, Kawaluuko was laid to rest on Thursday 4 August 2016 in his ancestral home of Nabirumba. His funeral was attended by high ranking state officials, the clergy and the judiciary, including 12 government ministers led by the Deputy Prime Minister Kirunda Kivejinja and 30 members of parliament, three judges and three bishops were all in attendance, which was fitting given his contribution and position as one of the most influential Ugandan politicians in the 60 years leading up to his death.

Philosophical and/or political views
Kawaluuko was a strong supporter of Uganda Peoples Congress and The National Resistance Movement in his late years. He was a Christian by faith.

The Word: When skeletons attack!
Once upon a time, there were two living skeletons. One was anentertainment journalist named Giuliana Rancic and the other was calledLeAnn Rimes.
And that is the tale of the two fighting skeletons. If they start new careers, like being rented out for haunted houses or being body doubles for Rachel Zoe, I'll keep you posted.
Justin Bieber reached another milestone — his first fender-bender. The 17-year-old singer's black Ferrari reportedly collided with a Honda Civic in an underground parking structure, according to the L.A. Times. Bieber was behind the wheel at the time. "No one was injured and there was no damage to either vehicle," the LAPD said in a statement. Glad we could all share in this life step with him.

Q: Private base class accessibility in C++ I recently had to do something like this:
class A { };
class B : private A { };
class C : public B {
    public:
        A *myA;
};

int main() {
    return 0;
}

And I get an error in the three compilers I tried. When I changed the declaration of myA to ::A *myA everything works ok. I poked around in the C++ standard and found Section 11.2, paragraph 3 where it says:

Note: A member of a private base class might be inaccessible as an inherited member name, but accessible directly.

Which is relevant, but unclear. Why is the name A inaccessible? What problems would occur if A was not hidden?
Thanks,
-Ben

A: Where it could "go wrong":
namespace nmsp
{
    class A {};
}

class A {};

class B : private nmsp::A
{
    // well-formed:
    A* d; // refers to the injected-class-name nmsp::A!!
};

class C : public B
{
    // ill-formed
    A* p; // refers to the injected-class-name nmsp::A!!
};

It should not depend on the access-specifier in the base-clause whether ::A or nmsp::A is used, otherwise it'd be error-prone IMO.

How are 'clusters' and 'super spreaders' affecting the spread of the new corona?
The important thing to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) is to 'prevent the development of clusters,' the reason is summarized by the academic journal Science.
The science of superspreading
https://vis.sciencemag.org/covid-clusters/
In late February 2020, pharmaceutical company Biogen held an annual meeting in Boston, USA. At that time, there were less than 20 cases of COVID-19 in the United States, but it is probable that one of the 200 participants in the conference was infected with COVID-19.
As a result, outbreaks (clusters) occurred among the conference participants. In addition, at least 97 family members and relatives who attended the conference and lived with people infected with COVID-19 were infected.
Biogen's annual conference was a large-scale event with many distant visitors, and eventually COVID-19 spread throughout Massachusetts and other states. According to the
latest research , it is estimated that the cluster created at Biogen's annual conference eventually resulted in tens of thousands of infected people in the Boston region alone.
At Biogen's annual conference, which triggered the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, various events around the world were also the source of the cluster. Not surprisingly, clusters have occurred not only in large-scale events, but also in bars, gyms, factories, schools, churches, ships, and other places where people gather, and it has been reported that clusters have also occurred in the White House. I will.
The virus spreads from an infected person to another healthy person. ' R0 ', which indicates how many people an infected person infects on average, is '2' for the new coronavirus. When R0 = 2, one infected person will generate two new infected persons, and the number of infected persons will increase explosively over time.
Of course, in the real world, how many people get infected from one infected person is different. Some people will not infect anyone, while others will spread the virus to many people, such as those who became the source of infection at Biogen's annual conference.
In the case of COVID-19, most infected people do not infect others with the virus. However, very few infected people infect many people with the virus, causing clusters. In fact, in the case of the new coronavirus, it has been reported that 80% of cases of infection are caused by only 10% of people. People who explode the number of infected people in this way are called '
super spreaders. '
Several studies have reported that '80% of cases of coronavirus infection are caused by only 10% of people' --GIGAZINE
In addition, an Indian study analyzing people infected with COVID-19 found that 60% of cases of infection were caused by only 8% of people. According to this study, 70% of infected people do not infect others with the virus.
There are other cases that show the dangers of superspreaders. A superspreader also participated in a wedding ceremony in Jordan in March 2020, which infected the bride's father with COVID-19. Studies have shown that the superspreaders who attended the wedding were estimated to have infected 76 of 360 guests with the virus, killing one of the participants.
In other words, it is necessary to stop the super spreader to prevent the pandemic of the new coronavirus. But how do you actually stop clustering with superspreaders?
Science says it's easy to do, avoiding the tightness, tightness, and closeness known in Japan as the ' three cs .' The common points of cluster generation are 'a place with poor ventilation', 'a space where people spend a lot of time', and 'a place where there is a high possibility that an unspecified number of people will come into contact with each other'. It also leads to avoiding.
In addition, a contact confirmation tool that notifies a person who may have been in close contact during the incubation period as a 'potentially infected ant' if it is found to be infected with COVID-19 is also important. By utilizing the contact confirmation tool, it is possible to prevent the birth of a super spreader by giving an opportunity for a person who may be infected to perform self-isolation or PCR test.
The official government contact confirmation app 'COCOA' has also been released in Japan.
The official new corona contact confirmation app 'COCOA' from the Japanese government has been released, and when it is actually installed, it looks like this --GIGAZINE
Multiple research results have been reported that '80% of new coronavirus infection cases are caused by only 10% of people'

Everywhere you turn in Paris is stunning, so it's a crying shame if you don't ache your eyes with its beauty. Try to section off the city by its districts so you're not hopping from one side of the river to another constantly. And wear comfy shoes that's for sure. For when you can't handle the walking, make it down to the Metro. Not only are the tram stops steeped in history and asking for an Instagram, they cover almost every inch of the city, making getting around it a dream. You can buy a 3 day ticket which will only set you back €25 and gives you unlimited reign of the city. For the Uber lovers, they have it here in Paris but I'd only use if you have to.
Okay so the Eiffel Tower may be a tourist cliche but it is for a reason. And what better view to gaze upon over dinner? Be savvy with your booking because this place gets rammed come peak time. Your reservation won't guarantee you an outside prime spot, it's your usual first come first served biz, so head down early for pre dinner drinks - the bar staff whip up an amazing strawberry prosecco cocktail. And keep those eyes peeled/get on the waiter's good side to make sure you're seated next ready for the Eiffel Tower to put on a show.
So it may be 100m smaller than the Eiffel Tower, but at the third tallest building in Paris, it's arguably the best view of the city boasting panoramic views across the skyline. If you've got the cash to splash, book into their restaurant and if you want to soak in the view at the AM and PM you can buy a dual ticket for just that.
Nestled in the city's quirky and romantic cobbled streets of Monmartre, sits the Sacre Coeur. It's one of the city's most iconic buildings and landmarks so hike up that hill to not only get yet another great view of the city, but see just why this place is such a big deal. Entry inside is free so get in that queue to admire its beauty and if you can handle 300 stairs, dig out €6 to climb all the way to the top where you'll wander around the building's dome.
Okay, so I should add an asterix here... If you find yourself in the city the first Sunday of the month, make the most of free museums including the Louvre where you can go see the famous Mona Lisa. Under 26? Most places are free all the time by showing your ID - perks and all that... If modern art is more your thing, head across town to the Centre Pompidou.
Like any tourist city, you'll pay a premium for buying food at the peak spots, but the baguette stall just after the Concorde before hitting the Jardin Du Tuileries, you'll pick up a killer camembert sandwich. Walk a couple of 100m down and there's chic sun chairs facing the water - bring a good book and forget all about your troubles. Or at least think about them in French, it sounds much better.
Play a pretty tune on the piano? Impress the locals and tourists alike with some key work at the bottom of the Sacre Couer steps.
Just next to the Jardin Du Tuileries, sits a pop up theme park with chair swings and rollercoasters. Great for when you wanna lose yourself and rewind those years.
Whilst technically you're not meant to get in the water here, come a hot day, dip your legs into the water and catch some golden rays surrounded by some of the most historical architecture around.
In the Monmartre district, it's not an overcrowded spot (yet) and offers a breathtaking vista over the capital. Drinks aren't overpriced and come sundown you'll have to pinch yourself over the view. There's a photobooth downstairs to make the most of before you leave too.
On the 7th floor of the French department store, sits a free and pretty amazing panoramic view across Paris. There's a bar and restaurant up here too if you fancy a quick refreshment. You can only get a lift to the 6th floor so you'll need to find the staircase to make your way to the top.
Paris is a tourist hot spot but some streets remain untouched. Get your usual shots before heading to the leafier side of the Eiffel Tower at Rue de l'Université for an unspoilt view of the incredible landmark.
Obvious but worth doing. Exit The Louvre and head straight down the river all the way to Notre Dame.
Not only for the pretty interior but for the most iconic macaroons in Paris.
From vintage markets to the iconic Champs-Élysées and the most famous shopping mall in Paris - Galeries Lafayette - find your vibe. Galeries Lafayette is worth a trip for its interior alone.
Grab a stereotypical beret here for €4 and it's the perfect place to pick up some of the most reasonably priced art across the city.


You start off in the real world but there's nothing you can do really so go straight over to the Spectral Shifting Platform and switch to the Ghost World. If you didn't destroy the red flowers while in the Real World you'll see the Trog Pinchers. Note that you only get experience from killing an enemy if they're alive at the time, so destroying the flowers in the Real World will net you nothing, not even Enemy Goal credit.
In the Ghost World the big door is wide open, go through it and kill a few more Trog Pinchers that approach. Continue forwards, past a couple of coins floating in the air on the left, to a bend in the path where you meet Occulous. Carry on along to the right where you can drop down next to a moveable block.
Push the block two spaces north into the gap. There's a Shadow Duke here, in the Real World it's a harmless suit of armor, but obviously that's no use to you so kill him here in the Ghost World before switchinf to the Real World with the Shifting Platform next to him.
Switch into the Ghost World and kill the Shadow Dukes (unless you smashed the armor in the real world of course) Go left and up the steps, cross over the stone blocks and go north towards a large open gate, ignore the gate though and continue going left, you should walk over the block you pushed into position earlier now. At the end of the path you'll find a translucent chest, a sign that you need to be in the Real World, luckily there's a Shifting Platform right next to you. Shake open that Treasure Chest and then switch back into the Ghost World. Go back along the path you just came from and go through that large door you ignored.
There's a Shadow Duke there as well as a new variety of lock puzzle. Instead of just the green Lockmaster Imp you have to contend with a red fiery imp too. It acts just like the green one and will fall as you'd expect when you rotate the puzzle but it doesn't unlock things and if the green imp crosses paths with it you have to start over. Perfect in 8.
On the other side of the gate is a load of Trog Pinchers and a few Shadow Dukes. Go down the steps past a dead tree and through an open gate to a Shifting Platform, go into the Real World. The open gate you just went through is now a locked gate and you can now push the blocks to the south. Push the first one down once and then the one to the left left twice. Go through the gap and then push the next block left three times. The block north of your position should be pushed up three times to get to a bounce pad. Bounce up onto the blocks and go left, go up the steps and push the block at the top off, this will open up a Fire Gate.
For some reason it's gone dark here, kill the Chompies and the Chompy Pods spawning them, walk along the corridor until you get to a couple of blocks that vanish when you bump into them. Just beyond them is a button to stand on, a little further than that is a Bark Demon. These are large enemies that look like dead trees in the real world. There's a block in the wall on the south side a couple before the end that does the same. On the other side of it is another Bark Demon. On the southern edge of the room is a single pushable block, push it down twice and then left off the edge twice.
Push the block to your right in so that you can get into the room behind it, kill the Chompies and the Chompy Pod before pushing the block back out and then to the left over the blocks below. Step onto the button, although you won't actually be able to see it thanks to the darkness it does open up another part of the gate in the middle.
Collect the key and go back down the steps, push the block right twice to get back to the bounce pad which you can now use to get up onto the blocks again and this time go right, unlock the door and you'll go through to where there are some Bark Demons in place of the dead trees.
Head right along a brick path underneath some hanging blocks, these will lower as you pass so keep on moving until you get out the other end onto a bit of grass. Kill the Bark Demons, the Chompies and the Chompy Pods to open up the Monster Gate behind which you'll see a row of blocks lowering and raising all by themselves. Spooky!
Ideally you'd run through when they all move together but you can go through bit by bit waiting for the next in line to rise up. At the end there's a closed gate, go up the steps and on top of those very same blocks all the way back along them to a Shifting Platform. Go along the blocks and through the now open gate where you'll immediately want to go back to the Real World using the Shifting Platform to the south.
There's another (shorter) line of green blocks to get through but once you've done so climb up the steps to a cannon, fire it at the moving blocks, ideally when they're all in a single line. Go back to that last Shifting Platform and reenter the Ghost World. In the Ghost World walk over the smashed blocks and approach the Lock Puzzle to the north. Perfect in 6.
Step into the first house.
Kill the Trog Pinchers in here, there's not much else other than Lugubrious and some coffins to smash. Go outside.
After speaking to Gallant walk forwards and up to another Lock Puzzle, this one's optional though as behind it all you'll find is a few coins. Perfect in 18, just make sure to wait for the red imp to finish moving each time.
Go inside the house to the left of Gallant, the one near to Arcane.
Use the Shifting Platform at the far side of the room to get into the Real World. Go back outside and kill the Stump Demons that have come alive out here, once they're dead go back in and go back to the Ghost World. You should find that the dead trees that were blocking your way in the Ghost World are now gone.
While in the Ghost World go into the final house beyond those now gone trees.
There's a Lock Puzzle in there that'll let you access a Treasure Chest. To open the lock you need to be in the Ghost World but to open the chest itself you need to be in the Real World so go back out and to that previous house to switch again once you've solved it. Perfect in 20.
Use the Shifting Platform on the other side and go north to some Haunted Knights, to the left of them is a block you can push. Push it up once and then work your way around by going right and through an open gate, kill the Haunted Knights that attack. Push that block left twice and then down twice so that it drops into a hole. Go back to the previous Shifting Platform to return to the Real World and go through the gap you just created, if you go left at the point where you pushed the block into the hole you'll find the last Treasure Chest next to a Bark Demon. Cross over the block to kill a Stump Demon and grab the first key.
Kill that Bark Demon that springs to life and then use the teleporter. This will take you over to some steps, go down them and kill the two Bark Demons that you find, you'll also find the second of the three keys. Down from there you'll see a block that you can push to the left, push it twice and you'll find yourself near the triple locked gate. Go left and grab the key floating next to it. Open that gate.
A simple process, just approach the green things and they'll move out of the way. Keep heading forwards all the way to the boss (ignore the middle bit for now). If some of them fail to open then turn around and keep trying, walking slowly towards them to try to trigger them to open. It should eventually open and let you through.
Go left and use the Shifting Platform next to the ghost to enter the Ghost World. Gallant will tell you how to damage Occulous. Simply run around the arena to the purple pole thing and rotate it. This will pull Occulous fully into the Real World where you can use the cannons on him now. He'll unleash a few Bark Demons on you and start an attack that slowly circles the area. Once he stops firing you should go back to the Shifting Platform and repeat this process for a total of three cannon blasts.
Don't talk to Gallant right away, instead go to the right to where you first entered the boss area, you should find a bounce pad on the ground that'll let you get back up to the path where those green blocks were, some of them are gone now and in the middle you can now walk off to the right and pick up a present with a Pumpkin Hat inside. That's it for the level, go back and talk to Gallant to finish it off. Batterson's promise of pies actually works this time, levels will now have extra food in them.
there are a few mistakes(not where the items are,in the text) in this guide of darklight crypt.example:in the lock puzzle you can get perfect in 14 and the bark demons are dead tree in the real world,not the ghost word!
This level is a lot like Wilikin Village. One good world and one evil one. I like this one better then the wilikin one.
I like how this level is based on one of the core mechanics in Shadow Legacy.
remember when that pie guy said, "thats batter"
Yeah I know it`s weird!!!!!!!! I don`t have it either and it`s the last level that does`nt have 3 stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a glitch where I try to get a treasure chest (I'm not sure witch one it is) and I switch to the real world and its not there. I have the wii version and use SSA.
I've found a gitch in this level I was trying for 3 stars on this level and I could not get it for some reason when you reach the boss for Darklight Crypt you sould have over 75 Enemy Goal credit. Well then I reach Occulous it get reset to 0/75. Does anyone else have this issue? I have the PS3 ver. of the game.

I am so sorry for your loss. Mrs. Pease was a special person who was always so welcoming when I would see her. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Our deepest sympathy to all of you on Wendy's passing. We feel a very deep sadness that she has left you all too soon.Our memories of the days on Cherryfield and Pinebrook are filled with joy and friendship. Wendy's great smile will be with us always. We will keep all of you in our prayers.
Roger and I were so sorry to read about Wendy's passing. We remember her well from West Hartford days. At one time, we were in a Dinner-Prayer Group and often met at her and Jim's home.

Ryan Reynolds Still Wants Hugh Jackman For A Deadpool And Wolverine Movie
Corey Chichizola
While superhero movies are everywhere, there are certain franchises that break the mold. Case in point: Deadpool, which proved that an R-Rated comic book movie could be made on a minimal budget and still make oodles of cash at the box office. The popularity of the character skyrocketed with the release of the first movie, and Deadpool 2 is set to arrive shortly. Fans are also eager to see Wade Wilson interact with other characters from the X-Men universe, especially Hugh Jackman's Wolverine. While the actor seems to have hung up his claws for good, Ryan Reynolds recently revealed that he's still hoping for it happen one day-- even pestering Jackman about it regularly.
I think convincing Hugh of that would be a near-impossible feat, but there's no human being I love more than Hugh Jackman in that universe, and equally so as a friend. He's just the best. I already miss him as Logan, so I'm one of those guys that whenever I see him, I'm like, 'Come on, man. Just one more. Come on. We'll do it together. It'll be fun. Come on! On three. Here we go, together. One, two, three, together,' and it's always just me saying it.
Just like the fans, it seems Ryan Reynolds is already hoping that Hugh Jackman returns to the role of Wolverine, and interacts with the new and improved Deadpool. Given the characters' history onscreen (as well as the actors' love for each other) the calls for this team up likely aren't going to stop anytime soon.
Ryan Reynolds' comments to EW make a great deal of sense, especially given the last time Logan and Wade Wilson interacted onscreen. Reynolds played a warped version of the antihero back in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The wise cracking side character was ultimately used as the film's macguffin and final villain, with Wolverine and Sabertooth fighting a mute and overpowered version of Deadpool during the third act. Comic book fans weren't happy with the characterization of Deadpool (or the movie itself), with Ryan Reynolds ultimately given the chance to do the character justice many years later.
Deadpool, in addition to being set in the X-Men universe, features plenty of references to Hugh Jackman. Smart money says this trend continues with Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick have free range with references and tongue in cheek jokes with Deadpool 2, allowing for the character to say things that comic book fans have been thinking for years. The sequel's trailer took jabs at Henry Cavill's #MustacheGate, and has shown a willingness to "go there" in regards to its dialogue. Now we just have to wait a few more weeks before seeing what insanity ultimately comes with Wade Wilson's second solo movie.
Deadpool 2 will arrive in theaters May 18th, 2018. In the meantime, check out our 2018 release list to plan your next trip to the movies.

A invasão do Daguestão, também conhecida como a Guerra no Daguestão e Guerra do Daguestão,  começou quando um grupo baseado na Chechénia, a Brigada Islâmica Internacional (IIPB), uma milícia islâmica liderada pelos chefes militares Shamil Basayev e Ibn al-Khattab, invadiram a república russa vizinha: o Daguestão, em 7 de agosto de 1999, com apoio dos rebeldes separatistas islâmicos do Daguestão. A guerra terminou com a retirada do IIPB e foi um dos fatores que desencadearam a Segunda Guerra na Chechênia.

Antecedentes
Durante o período entre-guerras de 1997-1999, a Chechénia estava em anarquia e colapso econômico causado pela Primeira Guerra da Chechênia que a devastou. O governo de Aslan Maskhadov não foi capaz de reconstruir o país e de prevenir que uma série de chefes militares tivessem um controle efetivo na região. Relações entre o governo e radicais se polarizaram. Em março de 1999, Maskhadov fechou o parlamento checheno e introduziu aspectos da lei da Sharia. Apesar da lei, extremistas islâmicos, tais como Shamil Basayev e o árabe Ibn Al-Khattab continuaram a minar o governo Maskhadov. Em abril de 1998, este grupo radical declarou publicamente o seu objetivo de longo prazo da criação de um Estado islâmico sob a união da Chechénia e do Daguestão e a expulsão dos russos de toda a região do Cáucaso.

Em finais de 1997, Bagauddin Magomedov, o líder da etnia Avar, da ala radical do Wahhabismo daguestani (Salafismo), tinha fugido com sua comitiva à Chechénia. Lá ele estabeleu laços estreitos com a Al-Khattab e outros líderes da comunidade wahhabitas da Chechénia durante a guerra. Em Janeiro de 1999, Khattab começou a formação de uma "Legião islâmica" com voluntários muçulmanos estrangeiros. Ao mesmo tempo, ele comandou a "Unidade de pacificação do Majlis (o parlamento) de Ichkeria e de Daguestão". A série de invasões da Chechénia ao Daguestão ocorreu no período entre-guerras, culminando no ataque de 1997 sobre uma guarnição militar federal perto da cidade daguestani de Buinaksk. Os ataques regulares envolveram alvejamentos a policiais e civis do Daguestão.

Em Abril de 1999, Magomedov "o Emir do Jamaat Islâmico do Daguestão", fez um apelo àos "patriotas islâmicos do Cáucaso" a "tomar parte na jihad" e fazer a sua parte na "libertação do Daguestão e do Cáucaso do jugo colonial russo." De acordo com esta visão wahhabista de proeminentes Dagestanis, defensores da idéia de um Daguestão livre e islâmico teriam que se alistar no "Exército Islâmico do Cáucaso", que tinha fundado e reportado ao exército da sede (na aldeia de Karamakhi) para o deveres militares. O governo checheno de Turpal-Ali Atgeriev reivindicava que tinha alertado o então Diretor do Serviço Federal de Segurança da Federação da Rússia (FSB), Vladimir Putin, no Verão de 1999, da iminente incursão de separatistas chechenos no Daguestão.

A invasão

Em 4 de agosto de 1999, vários soldados do Ministério da Administração Interna Russa (MVD) foram mortos em um conflito fronteiriço com um grupo de guerrilheiros liderados por Magomedov de Bagaudin Kebedov. Três dias mais tarde, em 7 de agosto, Basayev e Khattab lançaram uma incursão no Daguestão com um grupo de cerca de 1500-2000 militantes armados constituído por radicais islâmicos da Chechenia e do Daguestão, bem como árabes e islamistas internacionais. Eles apreenderam as vilas de Ansalta, Rakhata e Shadroda e chegaram a aldeia de Tando, perto do distrito da cidade Botlikh. Em 10 de agosto, eles anunciaram o nascimento do "Estado islâmico independente do Daguestão" e declararam guerra aos "governos de traidores daguestanis "e" as unidades de ocupação da Rússia."

A resposta militar federal a invasão foi lenta, e os esforços foram inicialmente hesitantes e desorganizados. Devido a isso, todas as primeiras resistências, e grande parte delas, foram realizada pela polícia daguestani, por milícias espontaneamente organizadas por cidadãos, e por aldeões individuais daguestanis. Basayev e Khattab não foram acolhidos como "libertadores" como haviam esperado; os aldeões daguestanis consideraram a força invasora como ocupantes e  fanáticos religiosos indesejáveis. Em vez de uma maciça insurreição anti-russa, as áreas fronteiriças viram mais ou menos uma mobilização de voluntários contra o exército de Basayev e Khattab.

Com a resistência ao invasor reforçada, a força aérea e a artilharia russa entraram em seus próprios. Enquanto a Primeira Guerra Chechena havia mostrado as limitações do seu uso, aqui, foi invocada para assegurar que os russos não perderiam a guerra nos primeiros dias. Os rebeldes foram bloqueados pela ferocidade dos bombardeaios: as suas linhas de abastecimento  foram cortadas e dispersas entregues remotamente com minas. Isto deu tempo para Moscou montar um contra-ataque pelo Coronel-Geral Viktor Kazantsev, comandante do distrito militar do Cáucaso Norte. Em 23 agosto os rebeldes anunciaram que estavam se retirando do distrito de Botlikh "para começar uma nova fase nas suas operações".

Em 27 de agosto Putin, então como o novo Primeiro-ministro da Rússia (desde 9 de agosto, o terceiro dia dos combates), voou para o Daguestão e ordenou um ataque punitivo contra o  wahhabitas daguestanis da zona de Kadar (a qual seu antecessor Sergei Stepashin tinha concedido uma autonomia limitada no ano anterior), apesar de não terem participado na revolta.

Na noite de 4 de setembro, como as forças federais estavam lutando para acabar com os últimos bastiões de resistência em Kadar, um carro bomba destruiu um edifício militar na cidade daguestani de Buynaksk, matando 64 pessoas e iniciando o primeiro a primeira onda de bombardeios russos. Nesse mesmo dia 5 de Setembro, na Chechénia rebeldes lançaram uma segunda incursão na região de várzea de Novolakskoye no Daguestão, desta vez com uma força maior. Os rebeldes chegaram a apenas cinco quilômetros dentro da grande cidade de Khasavyurt e ameaçaram a capital da república, Makhachkala. A segunda invasão à altura das hostilidades na zona Karamakhi em 5 de setembro, veio como uma surpresa desagradável para Moscou e Makhachkala. Segundo Basayev, o objetivo da segunda invasão foi de confundir forças federais que atacavam Karamakhi e Chabanmakhi. Combates intensivos continuaram até 12 de setembro, quando forças federais apoiadas por voluntários locais finalmente forçaram os islamistas voltar à Chechénia, apesar de confrontos armados esporádicos continuarem durante algum tempo depois.

Até meados de Setembro de 1999, os militantes foram encaminhados a partir das aldeias que tinham sido apreendidas e empurrados para trás das fronteiras da Chechénia. Entretanto, a Força Aérea da Rússia já tinha começado bombardear alvos na Chechénia. Pelo menos várias centenas de pessoas foram mortas em combate, incluindo um número desconhecido de civis. O lado federal admitiu que sofreram cerca de 279 mortos e 987 feridos.

Consequências
A Rússia continuou com a campanha de bombardeio ao sudeste da Chechénia, em 23 de setembro, caças russos bombardearam alvos em torno da capital chechena Grozny. Aslan Maskhadov, o presidente separatista da Chechênia (ChRI), se opôs à invasão do Daguestão, e ofereceu uma violenta repressão exercida sobre os chefes militares renegados. Foi recusada pelo Kremlin e, em Outubro de 1999, após uma seqüência de quatro atentados bombistas a apartamentos russos, a Rússia responsabilizou os chechenos, assim, forças russas invadiram a Chechénia por terra, começando a Segunda Guerra na Chechênia. Desde então, Daguestão é um local de uma revolta em curso, o baixo nível de insurreição tornou parte da nova guerra chechena. Este conflito entre o governo e os islâmicos armados no Daguestão (em particular o grupo Jamaat Shariat) auxiliados pelos guerrilheiros chechenos já custou vidas de mais de centenas de pessoas.

A guerra no Daguestão resultou no deslocamento de 32000 civis daguestanis. Segundo o pesquisador Robert Bruce Ware, as invasões de Basayev e Khattab eram potencialmente genocidas em que eles atacaram aldeias de montanha para acomodar populações inteiras de pequenos grupos etno-linguísticos. Além disso, Ware afirma que as invasões são devidamente descritas como atentados terroristas, porque inicialmente envolviam ataques contra civis e policiais daguestanis.

Q: Operation translation from jCombobox in Java to Spinner in Eclipse Asking a follow-up question here after solving some other problems I was having.
Essentially, I'm translating a working program from Java into Eclipse for development of an android app. I've whittled down the problems to a single block of code. In Java, it looked like this:
 private void shapeDropDownActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
   if(shapeDropDown.getSelectedIndex()==1)
      diameterBox.setText("0");
   if(shapeDropDown.getSelectedIndex()==1)
       diameterBox.setEditable(false);
   if(shapeDropDown.getSelectedIndex()==2)
       widthBox.setText("0");
   if(shapeDropDown.getSelectedIndex()==2)
       widthBox.setEditable(false);
   if(shapeDropDown.getSelectedIndex()==2)
       heightBox.setText("0");
   if(shapeDropDown.getSelectedIndex()==2)
       heightBox.setEditable(false);}

Basically, if the user chooses a rectangle over a cylinder, the diameter input is set to "0" (so it is an integer) and is set to not editable. Or, if the user chooses cylinder, the height & width inputs were set to "0" and not editable.
However, I'm having difficulty with this method in Eclipse. Could you please show me how to implement this method in Eclipse? This is what I've got so far that is not working, thus making the entire app malfunction:
//Blank out the appropriate blanks:
    private void setOnItemSelectedListener (new onItemSelectedListener() {

   if (shapeDD.equals("Rectangle"))
        txtDiameter.setText("0");
    if (shapeDD.equals("Rectangle"))
        txtDiameter.setEnabled(false);
    if (shapeDD.equals("Cylinder"))
        txtWidth.setEnabled(false);
    if (shapeDD.equals("Cylinder"))
        txtWidth.setText("0");
    if (shapeDD.equals("Cylinder"))
        txtHeight.setEnabled(false);
    if (shapeDD.equals("Cylinder"))
        txtHeight.setEnabled(false);
    });

A secondary issue I'm having is with resetting the spinner once I'm done with it. In Java, it's simply:
jCombobox.setSelectedIndex(0).

What is the equivalent method in Eclipse for a Spinner?

A: I can answer to your second question: the equivalent method for the spinner is setSelection(index), for references see http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/AbsSpinner.html#setSelection(int)

The new world of games. Esports are waiting for you!
Esports – a growing trend
Life, civilisation, everything is moving forward, and the latest trends are constantly changing. Esports are still a novelty but the momentum is growing. In 2018, there were 737 large esports events in the world, and the proceeds from the tickets generated 55 million dollars. Playing through online platforms is on the rise and streaming of esports leagues has been followed by hundreds of millions of viewers. Most of the praise for popularising esports should go to the iconic League of Legends game.
The Legendary League of Legends (LoL)
It's been a decade since the game came out and won the hearts and minds of players all over the world. In 2013, it was recognised as a fully-fledged sport in the US, which only added to the prestige of the entire esport industry. LoL madness moved to other continents, mainly to Asia, with the biggest boom being in China. Today, the game has the largest number of active users, and every day around the world numerous tournaments featuring famous esport teams are organised, many of which have lucrative prizes. With an ever-expanding list of heroes and frequent updates, League of Legends provides great joy to players of all levels. Obviously, this is not the only advantage. The live streaming of the finals of the LoL World Cup in 2016 caused 60 million fans to tune in. Numbers that speak for themselves.
See yourself as an expert marksman? Try CS GO!
Another legendary game. Counter-Strike Global Offensive has earned its place in the esports hall of fame. Its simplicity and relentless action are the main features of this iconic game. CS GO allows you to meet amateur or more professional players from different places all over the world. This typical online shooter game is available on PC, PS and Xbox. CS also has its own streaming service, with which fans from different places can watch CS games. Our site allows you to get involved, betting on league wins, tournaments or championships. Professional competitions on Counter-Strike: Global Offensive consist of tournaments organised by third parties and tournaments organised or sponsored by the publisher, Valve, called "majors".
Dota 2 – an esport leader
Considered a classic of the MOBA genre. Initially, Dota was just a modification of the Warcraft 3 game, but quickly gained importance. Its successor - Dota 2, quickly received universal acclaim, becoming one of the most profitable games ever made. The prize pool of all the tournaments combined was worth nearly 86 million dollars. Dota 2 is now one of the most popular esport games amongst professional esport players.
StarCraft is still going strong
It's amazing, but even after two decades, fans around the world are still fascinated by the StarCraft game. From the USA, it is rightly considered as the "father of esports". Why is this real-time strategy game so popular? First of all, the gameplay is fast and easy to get used to. The player with the mouse and keyboard commands units; collects raw materials, places buildings, and above all, controls the army to destroy the enemy base. Once upon a time StarCraft was played in internet cafes, but now the most important fights take place in various halls and arenas around the world. It's no wonder that StarCraft 2: Legacy of the Void enjoys the same popularity as the original. It would come as no surprise if a third StarCraft game enjoyed the same popularity as the previous two. The spell of this space game refuses to go away!

The holiday region Lienz Dolomites includes the area from the chief city Lienz to the Lavanttal valley.
Lienz, the chief city of East Tyrol, is a small town which is very interesting from a cultural point of view. Bruck Castle with the museum and Tammerburg Castle are repeatedly venue for concerts and exhibitions. However, also the Phono Museum in the centre of the city attracts a range of visitors, as it is unique of its kind. Thanks to the combination of Mediterranean flair and the excellent restaurants offering Tyrolean delicacies, Lienz and its villages render this area a very popular holiday destination.
The name "Lienz Dolomites" itself comprises a mistake, as the mountains do actually not belong to the formation of the Dolomites. However, as these mountains directly border on the Dolomites, this part of the Gailtal Alps is commonly known as Lienz Dolomites. Delight in natural beauty of the mountain range: in summer the Lienz Dolomites transform into a great hiking area, offering a splendid panoramic view, and in winter you can enjoy skiing on 37 km of ski slopes in the Lienzer Bergbahnen skiing area.
Alpine pastures make up half of the municipal area of Ainet.
Assling with its 2,000 inhabitants is above all popular for the wildlife park.
Dölsach is located near the well-known Roman archeological site Agentum.
At Leisach, an idyllic village close to Lienz, the Pustertal valley high road starts.
Nikolsdorf, Lengberg, Nörsach and some single farms form the municipality of Nikolsdorf.
Oberlienz is idyllically located in the beautiful Lienz Dolomites.
The municipality of Schlaiten is located on a terrace above the Iseltal valley.
The sunny village of Thurn is located about 2 km above Lienz.

(1.05) – So Asim, can you expand on that brief introduction and tell us a little bit more about yourself? Asim explains that he has been working in the IT industry for about 19 years. Over that time, he has worked in many different sectors, using a range of languages.
Right now, he is the lead developer advocate for the EMEA region, at Microsoft. This is a recent promotion that he is both excited and nervous about.
He is part way through open-sourcing them. Asim is now a big believer in open source education. It brings benefits to the teacher as well as the students.
(3.11) – So, why did you go into advocacy and development courses? Asim explained he got the bug when he was listening to a podcast in the car. While listening to it the speaker said something that was totally wrong about a subject Asim knew a lot about. Naturally, this frustrated him, but also motivated Asim to get out there and share his knowledge. That day, the idea for his first course was born.
(4.28) – Phil asks Asim to share a unique IT career tip. Asim says that it is very important to be public about what you are doing. From the very start of your IT journey, share what you are learning and your experiences.
Asim believes that if, for the past 19 years, he had consistently written a blog article per week his blog would now be more valuable than his house.
When you look at someone who is well-known and respected in the industry, you will usually find out that they have been blogging, for many years. For the first year, you will be writing in a vacuum, so will get very little value from doing it. But, if you persist it will become an invaluable asset. Fairly quickly, it will start to grow at a very fast rate.
(5.57) – Phil asks Asim to share his worst career moment with the audience and explain what he learned from that situation. The biggest mistake Asim made was when he was working in the finance industry. At that time, he had a dual role. He was responsible for developing new systems, but, also had to keep the existing one running smoothly.
To do this, he had two terminals open, one for development, the other for the production server. He would multitask. Running tests on new software on one terminal, while monitoring and maintaining the live system on the other.
For the most part, this approach worked really well. However, one day, it led to near disaster.
At the time, he smoked, so would regularly pop out for a cigarette. One day, he did exactly that. Before he left the office, he typed make into what he thought was his development terminal and left.
Unfortunately, Asim had typed make into the wrong terminal. So, he had inadvertently started a job on the production server. That process consumed 100% of the CPU's power and left the traders unable to do their job.
Worse than that, it was just as the markets were about to close. For the bank's trader's this was a disaster. Closing is always a crazy busy and critical time of the day.
They were unable to close their trades. Potentially, the company could have lost tens of thousands because of Asim's simple mistake. Fortunately, the opposite happened. The trades they had been unable to close ended up making the bank money.
Naturally, that episode reminded Asim of the need to be careful, at all times.
(8.16) – Phil asks Asim what his best career moment has been, so far. For Asim, his biggest successes have come along recently. For example, getting involved in public speaking has been a highlight.
This has led to so many other good things for Asim, including the chance to join Microsoft, in a role that he really enjoys.
Writing his first book has also been a highlight. He released it for free, which was nerve-racking, especially when you consider that it took him 3 months to write. However, giving it away turned out to be a great approach. It really got him noticed and led to even more speaking opportunities. Asim says that releasing his book for free has been his biggest career win, to date.
He really enjoys people coming up to him and thanking him for not charging for his book. In particular those from a developing country who tell him they could not have afforded to learn what he taught in that book any other way.
(11.34) – Can you tell us what excites you about the future of the IT industry and careers? The pace of change is both exciting and terrifying. On the one hand, you are constantly worried about being relevant. But, at the same time the possibilities this fast-paced change brings is exciting.
(13.54) – What drew you to a career in IT, Asim? For Asim, it all started when he was a child. His sister studied computer science, so he started playing with her computer. At first, he just played the game. But, soon completed it and got bored. So, he put the BASIC tape in, read the manual, and started programming.
As children, Asim and his brother set up a web agency. So, it was only natural for him to pick an IT-related degree subject.
(16.06) – What is the best career advice you have been given? Asim says that is probably – admit your mistakes, something that he learned at the European Space Agency.
When something goes wrong in space, that is it, you have potentially just wasted a couple of billion dollars. So, for the space industry, it is vital that people admit when they have made a mistake and do so straight away. It means that the problem can be sorted out before it is too late.
It is important to own up to problems, as well as mistakes. The moment you do that, the solution starts to become apparent.
Asim went on to say that he trusts people who admit their mistakes more than he does those who say they never make them. Usually, they are either hiding them, or are simply not doing enough, just playing it safe.
(17.30) – If you were to start your IT career again, now, what would you do? Asim explains when he was younger; he followed the money, when he should have been paying attention to his brand.
Today, he would work first on developing and improving his personal brand. That stays with you and benefits you forever, unlike the money which you usually end up wasting anyway.
(18.14) – Phil asks Asim what career objectives he is currently focusing on. Right now, his new role at Microsoft is Asim's main focus.
