The Dark Shadows Daybook: July 19
Woodard confronts Julia about Maggie's extended stay at Windcliff, and she reveals the connection to the supernatural, convincing to continue covering for her. Outside the Old House, Sarah bemoans the fact that she can't find the very much alive Maggie. David takes the story of Maggie's survival back to Collinwood, and Vicki reveals to Burke that she's become strangely smitten with a new house by the sea.
Let's hear it for Gordon Russell and his first episode. Over the next four years, he will become DARK SHADOWS' most prolific writer. In it, we see his one of his great strengths: writing relationships with truth, twists, and surprises. Grayson Hall is particularly adept at pulling off his verbal labyrinths. In the first scene with Woodard, Julia actually talks the hard-headed generalist into receptiveness toward her vision of science's conquest of the supernatural. She evades, warns, bullies, and eventually flirts her way into his trust. Her coming out as what has become a mad scientist is done with both credibility and wit. DARK SHADOWS has expanded its redefinition of the soap opera universe as one in which the supernatural is seen as something absolutely real… and one in which we humans have a fighting chance. By selling Woodard on it, she further sells the audience. So often, supernatural stories -- from DRACULA to the world of Lovecraft -- posit a universe where terror exists because it cannot be understood. Her quest to do so isn't folly at all, and it further roots one of the key concepts of the series. These things have limits and origins, just like we do. Moreover, they have accessible weaknesses. This isn't man vs. the omnipotent. The seemingly "omnipotent" have challenges and foibles of their own. The story shifts from drama to horror, then back to what DARK SHADOWS truly is: drama involving horror. The power that people like Barnabas wield makes their vulnerabilities all the more poignant. And doesn't DARK SHADOWS begin that way? Despite all of their sway, the Collins family cannot escape guilt and fear.
We see further limits with the next scene, involving David and Sarah. Sarah, a ghost who can materialize at will, has lost Maggie. As the scene went on, I wondered what the show would be like if Sarah had simply followed Maggie to Windlciff and encouraged her to escape. Just as interesting, but probably shorter. There is a natural sadness to the scene. Despite all of her talents, Sarah is a prisoner to the Collins estate, as are so many others for so many reasons, most of which boil down to relationships.
Russell curiously juxtaposes this with the next scene involving Burke and Victoria. Vicki is a human empowered by knowledge of the paranormal, and credits it with helping her discover Seaview, a house beyond, to which she's inexplicably drawn.Escape from Collinwood may be possible after all. So, what is the supernatural in so many of these cases but love? It's an extraordinary power to some and an imprisoning imposition to others. Instead of referencing it literally, DARK SHADOWS accomplishes the same thing figuratively. It's all the business of the daytime genre, but by using the supernatural as a metaphor, Russell gives the idea an even greater universality. Not only that, he opens up a world in which both love and the occult can be examined with fresh, occasionally jaundiced, and ultimately optimistic eyes.

'The set-up for 2021 is strong': Desjardins Securities reveals its top TSX stock picks for the new year
David Leeder
Published December 18, 2020 Updated December 18, 2020
The equity research team at Desjardins Securities revealed its 2021 outlook and top stock picks in a research note released Friday before the bell.
With an eye toward the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the firm selected 25 equities with "the best growth prospects and/or the largest number of expected catalysts" for 2021.
"2020 is a year many of us would like to forget, given the COVID-19 pandemic," the firm said. "The stock market saw a late-1Q plunge which was followed by an immediate bounce and recovery, aided by quick government intervention and decisive action taken by many companies to shore up balance sheets, cut costs and rein in capital expenditures. While markets have generally trended up following the rally to almost pre-pandemic highs, the upside was capped by a resurgence in COVID-19 cases and a divisive, colourful U.S. presidential campaign. Some sectors, such as IT, fared well during the pandemic as we adapted to work, learn and play at home; others, such as energy, suffered—for obvious reasons—as demand for oil dried up.
"We believe the set-up for 2021 is strong, with a broad recovery expected in the economy and markets. Tailwinds in 2021 include the development of multiple vaccines in record time to address the COVID-19 crisis, a recovery in GDP, greater political certainty and low interest rates. We expect a return to a more traditional sector recovery, with materials, energy, industrials and consumer staples/ discretionary likely to benefit, while IT and communication services could face headwinds. Moreover, we believe the growing focus on ESG/sustainable investing will continue to gather steam and become more of a key focus of investor decisions exiting the pandemic."
Seeing "winning the battle" against the pandemic as the overarching economic objective heading into the new year, the firm expects "sluggish" growth for the Canadian economy in the first quarter followed by a "strong pickup" through the remainder of 2021.
"We still expect some of the sectoral dislocations caused by COVID-19 to be glaring in 2021," it said. "Sectors such as aerospace, commodity extraction and commercial real estate will probably not obtain an automatic bailout post-vaccine. Sectors already vulnerable to technological change (ie physical retail) prior to COVID-19 will struggle to find their footing."
Here are the firm's equity picks for 2021:
Consumer Staples/Discretionary
Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. (ATD.B-T, "buy") with a $51 target
Analyst Chris Li: "We believe ATD is supported by many early-stage organic growth initiatives that could yield earnings upside over the longer term. In the near term, we expect valuation to be capped by sector rotation, renewed concerns about electric vehicles and declining EPS next year as ATD laps high fuel margins."
Empire Company Limited (EMP.A-T, "buy") with $42 target
Mr. Li: "Even though the market is no longer rewarding 'stay at home' beneficiaries for pandemic-driven growth, EMP is trading at a reasonable valuation of 13.6 times forward P/E, a discount to its three-year average (15 times) and MRU at 16.8 times. We believe this should provide downside support. While sector rotation may prevent valuation from reverting to its three-year average in the near term, we believe this should occur as EMP continues to achieve solid earnings growth despite lapping COVID-19-related benefits next year, supported by Project Horizon."
Gildan Activewear Inc. (GIL-T, "buy") with a $40 target
Mr. Li: "Uncertainty around the timing and shape of the economic recovery next year will likely keep the stock volatile. However, we believe the recovery is on track, supported by improving imprintables point-of-sales (POS) trends, cost reductions and solid free cash flow. While the 'easy' money has likely been made in the near term with the stock gaining 22% since GIL reported stronger-than-expected 3Q results in late October, we expect further upside next year as investors have more confidence that GIL will return to its pre-COVID-19 earnings power by 2022."
Diversified Industries
Parkland Corporation (PKI-T, "buy") with a $46 target
H2O Innovation Inc. (HEO-T, "buy") with a $3 target
Analyst Frederic Tremblay: "While H2O Innovation operates in a completely different industry from Parkland, it offers the same resiliency, growth and financial strength attributes that provide a solid foundation for outperformance during a second wave of the pandemic and in a post-COVID-19 world."
Diversified Industries: Cannabis
Rubicon Organics Inc. (ROMJ-X, "buy") with a $5 target
Analyst John Chu: "There appears to be strong demand for flower products in both the value and super premium categories; Rubicon should benefit as super premium faces less competition and better pricing stability. Rubicon's focus on organic products and sustainability helps differentiate it from most super premium producers."
The Valens Company (VLNS-T, "buy") with a $4 target
Mr. Chu: "Being one of the only companies that continued to generate positive EBITDA during the COVID-19 pandemic and weathering very weak industry demand for tolling services, Valens should start to see a rebound in its EBITDA."
Neptune Wellness Solutions Inc. (NEPT-T, "buy") with a $6 target
Mr. Chu: "The company boasts Costco, Unilever, Heinz, Clorox, Nestlé, Webber Naturals and Amazon as new partners in 2020. It has also listed Home Depot as a potential distribution partner. The company is positioning itself to have one of the most established distribution networks when the US market cannabis/hemp market opens up and a list of partners to produce a broad line of traditional home and personal care products."
Lifecos
Sun Life Financial Inc. (SLF-T, "buy") with a $66 target
Analyst Doug Young: "There are four themes we like. (1) It was able to generate a 14.3-per-cent underlying ROE in 2020 (year-to-date to 3Q20) despite all the market disruption (equity market volatility, decline in interest rates, COVID-19, etc), a significant amount of excess capital (and lower-than-target debt to capital ratio) and SLC Management not contributing its full potential. (2) We see several drivers of earnings growth over the coming year—its US group insurance business, getting to scale in Asia, expense management, SLC Management hitting the inflection point and potentially capital deployment. (3) By our math, SLF has just over $4-billion in excess capital and debt capacity, and generates an attractive amount of excess capital annually, partially from its ownership stake in MFS. (4) MFS seems to be bucking industry trends with improving net fund inflows, and margins have been at the top end of management's guidance."
Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD-T, "buy") with a $77 target.
Mr. Young: "We preface this by saying we expect a bumpier ride for Canadian bank stocks early in FY21 on the back of uncertainties related to provision for credit losses/general credit trends as various loans come off deferral programs. With that said, there are four main drivers of our positive view. (1) While TD is the most sensitive to lower interest rates vs Canadian peers, we see this headwind tempering as we move through FY21. We are not expecting further rate cuts by the Bank of Canada or the US Federal Reserve. (2) TD has the lowest exposure to capital markets. Why is this good? Because this business outperformed expectations by a wide margin in FY20 for all the Canadian banks, and we expect results to temper next year, setting the stage for a tough year-over-year comp in FY21. We also view capital markets as a lower-valuation multiple business. (3) It has the highest CET1 ratio of the group, a positive from a defensive or offensive perspective. (4) We like its high-quality Canadian and US P&C banking franchises."
Diversified financials
goeasy Ltd. (GSY-T, "buy") with a $99 target.
Analyst Gary Ho: "Our investment thesis is predicated on: (1) GSY has been able to successfully weather the pandemic and remains well-insulated with its loan protection insurance program if economic conditions deteriorate. We forecast the loan book growing to $1.45-billion by the end of 2021 (up from $1.18-billion at 3Q20); (2) management has shifted to a more offensive stance, in our view: (i) new product launches (piloting a direct-to-consumer auto loan product in early 2021—the Canadian auto loans market represents a $26-billion opportunity; (ii) growing its POS distribution channel through its partnership with PayBright/Affirm; and (iii) studying international expansion opportunities, in particular the US and UK lending markets; (3) we expect a 30-per-cent dividend increase with 4Q results (highest in our coverage universe); (4) with scale, the business could consistently generate mid-20-per-cent ROE; and (5) with comfort on the above items, management could look to reinstate its three-year outlook in early 2021."
AGF Management Limited (AGF.B-T, "buy") with a $7 target
Mr. Ho: "We foresee a few near- or medium-term positive catalysts: (1) with the ban on upfront sales commission on funds sold with the DSC option coming into effect in June 2022, AGF's EPS and FCF could double by FY23; (2) net retail flows have improved steadily into positive territory in 4Q FY20 and if this persists, we expect valuation to trend higher; (3) buildout of its private alt platform has begun to bear fruit (management is targeting $5-billion in private alt AUM by 2022 vs $2.8-billion today)—higher LP income and consistent carried interest should materialize over time; (4) focus on cost containment—AGF met its $175-milliom target in FY20; and (5) most conservative balance sheet of all asset manager peers with $70-million in cash and $144-million in private alt seed capital. Putting $70-million to work (or buying back stock) should bolster the EPS profile in the coming years."
Industrials/Transportation & Aerospace
TFI International Inc. (TFII-T, "buy") with a $78 target
Analyst Benoit Poirier: "In transportation, we favour TFII as we expect management to leverage its solid balance sheet (net debt/EBITDA of 1.2 times) and disciplined M&A strategy (ROIC of 20 per cent on average over the past three years) to seize accretive M&A opportunities, potentially including a transformative acquisition, to unlock shareholder value. We believe TFII also remains the best opportunity in our coverage universe to gain exposure to the growing e-commerce sector."
Stantec Inc. (STN-T, "buy") with a $47 target
Mr. Poirier: "In engineering & construction, we believe STN is well-positioned as management accelerates its M&A strategy and executes a second cost-optimization phase in early 2021. The company is also ideally positioned to benefit from potential infrastructure stimulus in the US (not in management's outlook for 2021) given it has the highest exposure to the U.S. among our E&C coverage. These factors should enable STN to reduce its valuation gap vs peers."
Héroux-Devtek Inc. (HRX-T, "top pick") with a $20 target
Mr. Poirier: "In aerospace & defence, we favour HRX given its greater exposure to the defence segment, solid operational reputation and experienced management team, which places the company in an ideal position for the recovery."
Suncor Energy Inc. (SU-T, "buy") with a $26 target
Analyst Justin Bouchard: "While we remain cautious on crude oil pricing fundamentals for 2021, we believe that SU offers a comparatively low-cost and low-risk opportunity to position for the eventual recovery in pricing moving toward 2022 and beyond."
Tourmaline Oil Corp. (TOU-T, "buy") with a $35 target
Mr. Bouchard: "We continue to see a very bullish backdrop for natural gas pricing fundamentals over 2021, and TOU remains our favourite means to play the gas-weighted E&P space. We believe there is a once-in-ageneration opportunity to capture outsized benefits at a comparatively modest risk in the case of TOU owing to its investment-grade balance sheet (estimated 2021 D/CF of 0.7 times at strip), low-cost asset base and very capable management team."
Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (AQN-T, "buy") with an US$18 target
Analyst Bill Cabel: "A relative laggard in 2020, we believe AQN could benefit the most from economic reopenings. Furthermore, we expect that it could also be one of the larger beneficiaries of a Biden presidency, given its history of sourcing new projects in the US—this is likely to be very topical in 2021."
Boralex Inc. (BLX-T, "buy") with a $46 target
Mr. Cabel: "We expect that it will continue to win projects in France and New York, and could see new growth opportunities emerge on the U.S. west coast."
Northland Power Inc. (NPI-T, "buy") with a $48 target
Mr. Cabel: "OFSW should continue to be a hot topic among investors, and with limited ways to play the OFSW space, we believe it is a standout IPP. Its New York expansion could provide near-term growth."
K92 Mining Inc. (KNT-T, "buy") with a $12.50 target
Aya Gold & Silver Inc. (AYA-T, "buy") with a $5.65 target.
Analyst David Stewart: "We are most bullish on KNT and AYA as both companies are primed for a catalyst-rich 2021 and are set up for continued NAV growth in almost any metals price environment. We believe Kainantu and Zgounder are some of the most exciting projects in the entire precious metals sector. Central to our investment theses are the impressive drill results from both projects—and that's what will drive value creation for the foreseeable future."
WPT Industrial REIT (WIR.U-T, "buy") with a $16 target
Analyst Michael Markidis: "WPT Industrial REIT, for its pure-play U.S. industrial exposure, growing momentum with private capital and significant earnings growth potential in 2021."
Summit Industrial REIT (SMU.UN-T, "buy") with a $15 target
Mr. Markidis: "Summit Industrial Income REIT, reflecting its pure-play Canadian industrial exposure, significant acquisition capacity and near-term development upside."
Canadian Apartment Properties REIT (CAR.UN-T, "buy") with a $57 target
Mr. Markidis: "Canadian Apartment Properties REIT, which we like for its defensive portfolio attributes, strong balance sheet and access to low-cost debt capital."

Q: Error -1073741819 (0xC0000005) when executing AL.EXE from Post-Build event in Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 Using Visual Studio 2015 Update 1, I'm experimenting a problem (that didn't happened with Visual Studio 2015) in a Visual C++ CLR class library project (C++/CLI) when running the command AL.EXE in Post-Build Event: The AL.EXE application crashed and the system returns the error code -1073741819 (0xC0000005).
Here the contents of the post-build event:
sn -Rca "$(SolutionDir)bin\$(Configuration)\$(Platform)\$(TargetName)$(TargetExt)" dwo
Resgen "$(ProjectDir)Recursos.es-ES.resx" "$(IntDir)$(ProjectName).Recursos.es-ES.resources"
Al.exe /t:lib /embed:"$(IntDir)$(ProjectName).Recursos.es-ES.resources",Recursos.es-ES.resources /version:15.0.0.0 /culture:es-ES /out:"$(OutDir)es-ES\$(TargetName).resources.dll" /keyname:dwo

And here a snipping of the event viewer showing the error of the AL.exe application each time I run it from the post-build event (compiling my project).

The command line is correctly as you can see if I execute it from a console:

So I'm sure the problem is not because the command line.
Also I tried to specify the path to another AL.EXE command, because Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 uses the path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.6.1 Tools

So I tried with
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1A\bin\NETFX 4.5.1 Tools

but still not working.
You can reproduce the problem creating a new Visual C++'s CLR class library and adding a simple call to AL.exe in Post-build event.
Do you know how to solve this problem?
EDIT: I tried also to do it with an AfterBuild Target like this:
<Target Name="AfterBuild">
    <Exec Command="Al.exe /t:lib /embed:"$(IntDir)$(ProjectName).Recursos.es-ES.resources",Recursos.es-ES.resources /version:15.0.0.0 /culture:es-ES /out:"$(OutDir)es-ES\$(TargetName).resources.dll" /keyname:dwo"/>
</Target>

And the result is the same: Visual Studio tries to run the command AL.EXE but it crashes returning -1073741819.

A: Thanks to JaredPar for the work around
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bharry/archive/2015/11/30/vs-2015-update-1-and-tfs-2015-update-1-are-available.aspx?CommentPosted=true#10659560

Add the following line before the call to al.exe in your nmake file or
  post build events
chcp 437
This will reset the console code page to a known value before running
  al.exe.

A: I just run into the same issue when trying to build my ASP.NET project.

1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(3441,5):
  error MSB6006: "al.exe" exited with code -1073741819.

This will happen after you changed the Default code page in Default console window properties:

Just revert it to 437 and the problem is gone.

Mueller's investigation is "unraveling"? Is that what they are telling you on State run propaganda TV (Faux News)?
Snopes: it's undeniable that the firearms homicide rate in that country has decreased substantially since the implementation of the NFA. It's not the case, however, that the overall crime rate in Australia has shot up since the NFA was introduced. The rates of various types of violent crimes (sexual assault, kidnapping, homicides of all types) have scarcely changed at all, and while the robbery rate rose substantially in the 1998-2001 timeframe, it dropped below its pre-NFA level by 2004 and has continually declined since then.
Fortune: So what happened after the assault-weapon ban? Nothing. Nothing, that is, in a good way. Australian independence didn't end. Tyranny didn't come. Australians still hunted and explored and big-wave surfed to their hearts' content. Their economy didn't crash; Invaders never arrived. Violence, in many forms, went down across the country, not up. Somehow, lawmakers on either side of the gun debate managed to get along and legislate.
As for mass killings, there were no more. Not one in the past 22 years. Nothing.
Australia's murder rate fell to less than 1 killing per 100,000 people—a murder rate one-fifth the size of America's.
Undeniable evidence that gun control laws work.

In Noah Barleywater Runs Away, bestselling author John Boyne explores the world of childhood and the adventures that we can all have there. Noah is running away from his problems, or at least that's what he thinks, the day he takes the untrodden path through the forest. When he comes across a very unusual toyshop and meets the even more unusual toymaker he's not sure what to expect. But the toymaker has a story to tell, a story full of adventure, and wonder and broken promises. And Noah travels with him on a journey that will change his life for ever.


Dublin-born actor Elijah Rowen has been tipped as one to watch since his breakout role in hit series Vikings, and now the 25-year-old rising star is proving his mettle with a supporting turn in Sky One's big-budget, post-apocalyptic street racing drama Curfew. Working opposite stars such as Sean Bean, Miranda Richardson, Billy Zane and Andi Osho in the series – penned by Peaky Blinders creater Colm McCarthy – Rowen says with complete sincerity that the series has "changed his life", and not just by literally putting him in the driver's seat.
The middle son of artist Guggi – incidentally the best friend of U2 frontman Bono – Rowen has always set his sights on an international lifestyle. "Growing up in Dublin, I've always had eyes on London, New York, Los Angeles. I never really felt at home there, to be honest. So now being in London and about to film in Hungary and Hong Kong it's like this is where it starts; here I am," he tells Tempus.
It's this same determination that inspired the actor to email Vikings' casting director Frank Moiselle with a tape, asking him to take a chance on an unknown. Now with Curfew wowing audiences and a feature film in the works, Rowen is already working on his next step to stardom. Here, he tells Tempus about the benefits of big-budget productions, making proactive choices, and how his brothers keep his feet on the ground.
Elijah, tell us about working on Curfew. What appealed to you?
I think they've sort of tailor-made this show to appeal to such a large audience. First of all, the cast is brilliantly picked out. You've got a great mix of veteran actors who are massive names, and then the young up-and-comers. And then the mix of actors known for their drama or comedy – Miranda Richardson, Billy Zane, Sean Bean. There's an actor for every taste. Then the script was such a mix of action, comedy, real horror-movie stuff in there too. Each episode seems to have a real feature-film atmosphere that's very different. I'm really curious to see if, at the end of the series, after watching all the episodes and seeing how different they are, how people react – because there are so many different things going on.
It's been billed as a big-budget TV drama. Does having a large production make a difference as an actor?
Obviously Curfew is all about the cars – were you a car man when you started?
Do you know what? I probably know less about cars than anybody else in this room. Maybe even the building. for Curfew, we got all sorts of funky stunt training from Ben Collins, who was the former Stig on Top Gear. He was so impressive, and I sort of wanted to impress him, so pretended I knew more than I did. 'Oh these wheels are really interesting aren't they? What are they made of?' But really I have absolutely no clue. I passed my driving test on the fifth attempt – I did not find it easy.
What are your favourite memories from shooting?
It's funny because 90% of the time we were on night shoots, so filming from 9pm to 6am, which can be quite bleak. But that meant we really teamed up and bonded to keep the energy up and the vibes good. I did a lot of work with Andi Osho, who is so sound. She's a fantastic actress and great comedian, and we had a great laugh together. And people like Billy Zane, when I was hanging out with him I was constantly trying to extract his pearls of wisdom. The cast was so generous that I do think a lot of young actor would have paid to be on set, so it was a great opportunity. It was life changing, really. I think I left that set a very different actor.
You mentioned absorbing life lessons from other cast members. Do you have any personal philosophies?
Oh, completely. I think often people come to a crossroads in their life, and you get the chance to make the passive decision or the proactive decision. I want to always take the proactive decision. It's 10 times better to say, 'I wish I didn't do that' than have regrets. It's self belief, I guess, which is a tough thing to develop. But I'm in an industry where you deal with so much rejection and criticism, and a lot of people will say 'it's not going to happen for you'.
What are your hobbies off set?
I used to do a lot of boxing, kickboxing and MMA, and it was a really fun way to stay in shape. Unfortunately I got my ribs quite badly broken just after I'd finished filming Vikings, and got a bit worried after that. I realised that you can't risk your health or ability to shoot like that in this job. But it's quite bleak because my brothers – I have two older [Moses and Noah] and two younger [Caleb and Gideon] – are all still training. My 16-year-old brother can now beat me up when I go home, which is a humbling experience, let's say. I also do a lot of snowboarding when I can – but again, I have to go slow now in case I injure myself for shooting.
One of my brothers is a doctor and nutritionist, so he like to impose his knowledge on us and gets me to make a morning shot-style concoction that I should be drinking a lot more of. It's apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, ginger, cayenne pepper and turmeric, with a drop of hot water – it's much easier to ingest hot. I think I've got a balance – we're all aware of the benefits of a healthy lifestyle but it's easier said than done. I'm a big man for cakes.
I'm starting work on a new feature film. I can tell you that it's filmed in Hungary and Hong Kong, and I'm the lead boy. I've read the script and it's seriously cool. But that's all I can say for now.

Given the size of the Cuban database for the STR allele frequencies, a conservative approach was followed to estimate the statistical significance of the genetic evidence. The estimated probabilities of paternity for the two cases in which the paternity logic was applied were higher than 99%. One case was analyzed using mitochondrial DNA and could not be excluded from the identity proposed by the forensic anthropology team. A fourth case was identified by exclusion, on the basis of the positive identification of the other remains, the historical and other anthropological evidence.

International Student Services provides information, workshops, support, and assistance concerning visas.
A bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited U.S. institution or a comparable degree from an international institution is required. International applicants must have a degree comparable to a regionally accredited U.S. bachelor's degree. For specific information about comparable degrees in your country, and which academic documents are required, refer to the Grad School Admissions Requirements web page.
All students, including international students, must submit Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores before they can be considered for admission. Because it normally takes three to six weeks for the Educational Testing Service to process GRE scores, applicants should plan to take the GRE in October so that results are received in time to be considered in January for admission beginning in the fall semester.
Every applicant whose native language is not English, or whose undergraduate instruction was not in English, must provide official scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), International English Language Testing System (IELTS), or the Michigan English Language Assessment Battery (MELAB). Applicants may take the TOEFL, MELAB, or IELTS in their home country, in the United States, or in Canada.
An admitted applicant must have above these minimum scores: TOEFL paper-based test score 580, TOEFL computer-based test score 237, TOEFL Internet-based test score 92, IELTS score 7, or MELAB score 82. If a student has the minimum or close to the minimum, the admitted applicant then must take the on-campus English-as-a-second-language exam and register for any recommended English-as-a-second-language course(s) in the first semester of graduate study.
For more information about these courses, students should contact the ESL program directly.


A tree growing out of the middle of the bar and through the roof was originally the "hanging tree" where 17 people where hanged. Legend has it that one of the executed, a woman accused of killing her husband and child, can be seen frequenting the bar. The building has had many occupations over the years. In the early days it was used for ice storage. That same cold temperature was also used to store bodies prior to burial. So the ice house was also Key West's first morgue. We will leave the pun about being still able to get a cold one here well alone.
It is well worth a stop inside the oldest bar in Florida, for a drink, where you can see more business cards pinned to the ceiling and walls than we can count. There is also a permanent exhibition of feminism – of sorts- decorative bra's in every shape, size and color.

Упркос чињеници да су ови хеликоптери основа и у привреди СССР , они нису били веома профитабилни због велике носивости за своју класу од 4 тоне. Пре тога, већина транспорта терета тежине око 2 тоне превожене су хеликоптерима Ми-4. Након њиховог уклањања из производње, привреди и војсци очајнички је потребна замена хеликоптера овог типа, чему је Ка-60 и био првобитно намењен. Први хеликоптер је назван В-60. Добија подршку владе 1984. године и истовремено почињу су радови на његовом изгледу. Идејни пројекат В-60 је разрађен у 1988. години, а 1990. је припремљен нацрт хеликоптера познатог као Ка-60.

American Airlines Boeing 787
American Airlines Cargo has transported six tonnes of treasures from China's Summer Palace to be exhibited in the US for the first time.
The airline worked in conjunction with curators from the Bowers Museum of Orange County to bring important items from the life of Empress Dowager Cixi for the exhibition starting on 12 November.
The treasure was carefully packaged by Bowers Museum representatives, and American managed the logistical challenge of transporting the delicate material from Beijing the Los Angeles.
The artefacts were shipped before American launched its Beijing – Los Angeles service so the 35 crates were trucked to Shanghai and loaded onto a Boeing 787-8 to fly to Los Angeles.
American Airlines Cargo president, Rick Elieson says: "It's a wonderful honour to be of service in bringing this incredible exhibit to the Western world for the first time. I'm incredibly proud of how carefully our team worked to ensure the integrity of these treasured artefacts."
Bowers Museum president, Dr Peter Keller adds: "For the first time, audiences will see this mysterious woman come alive through her furnishings, including a reinstallation of one of her throne rooms complete with imperial accessories, lavish clothing, and her most treasured possessions; many of which were gifts from foreign diplomats and court officials."
The exhibit reconstructs the matriarch's everyday life in the Summer Palace, presenting her multi-faceted roles in politics, matriarch and connoisseur of various arts through four different sections and over 100 objects that have never been seen before in the US.

The two-colored serial number has four red and six black characters. The size of the characters becomes gradually smaller from the middle to the left and right sides.
Hold the note to light and look for the watermark, similar to the lotus flower. The watermark is part of the paper itself and can be seen from both sides of the note.
On the obverse of the note you can see holographic magnetic windowed security thread. The value can be seen in tiny letters on the stripe.
When the banknote is viewed from a certain angle, the number "20" appears at the top right of the note.
Lines printed in the right of the 20 Renminbi/ yuan note, made by intaglio printing feel raised.
When held up to the light, front and back elements combines perfectly.
White denomination watermark appears when you hold the banknote against the light.
The letters, 'RMB", and the numeral, "20" can be viewed with the help of a magnifying glass under the portrait of Chairman Mao.
Symbols for visually handicapped are applied by intaglio printing on the obverse side lower right corner of the 50 China Renminbi/Yuan note.
Year of issue appears on the reverse of the banknote.


A perfect grader - fully-automatic and laser-controlled- for level, single and double-sided inclines. The cost-performance ratio of the device wins over all.
The Optimas PlanMatic, a levelling screed available as an attachment for wheel, skid and telehoist loaders, represents a fully-automatic mobile system for the safe, quick and efficient screed levelling work.
NEW – available in two basic widths – the work range can be extended by up to 1.2 m using the side flaps and the optionally-available widening extensions.
Only one operating unit – a joystick with a large display – shows the relevant information.
Up to 46 carrier machine settings can be saved.
Press-button operation to move the levelling blade in the 0-position.
A Leica receiver as standard – the system is also compatible with other components from major manufacturers.
The Optimas PlanMatic performs levelling in both the forwards and reverse modes. Many operators distribute the material roughly (for height and sometimes even in the corners) in forwards movement, whilst achieving the exact height setting in the reverse movement. The levelling screed can be controlled both manually and fully-automatic.
Typical deployment in the levelling of equestrian, sport and tennis surfaces and the levelling of factory floors.
Compact design means that it can be deployed in narrow sites and indoors.
Hydraulic bottom dump shovel (optional): for forwards levelling or material transport as required.
Setting range 32 cm - alternative to the MLS720 laser receiver. Linear laser receivers provide a clear operating advantage. They are used to set the correct height from the cabin (i.e. altering the zero point) and determine a new reference height e.g. + 5 cm if too much material is before the levelling blade and must first be pushed away. It is no longer necessary to leave the cabin to set the reference height.
Hydraulic bottom dump shovel for forwards levelling or material transport as required.

This article explores everything you need to know about performing in Asia for entertainers.
Whether you are an Asian entertainer looking to perform in another Asian country or a Western entertainer hoping to break into the Asian market, this article will give you an introductory overview of the market.
The info and views I offer are as an entertainer based in Asia, who has performed throughout Asia and internationally. I have performed in every single Asian country except in a small handful of counties like Papua New Guinea, Laos, Mongolia and Myanmar. These countries currently do not have the market for high end entertainment so I have never had the opportunity to perform in them.
However, to offer a different perspective, I conducted an interview with a European international performing duo who has extensive experience performing in Asia.
First, it is important to note that Asia is made up of many different countries with different people and cultures. Even though all Asians may look alike to some Westerners, Asian cultures are distinct and unique to each country.
Asia can be loosely divided into three regions; North Asia (China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan), South East Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia) and India. Hong Kong is in between North and South East Asia.
Asia (all regions) has been a booming market for all businesses and driven the world economy for the past 20 years. But has been even more bullish with the growing China economy and their exploding middle class population.
As discussed in "How the Market Has Changed for Entertainers", I highlighted the economic and cultural influence of China. The importance of the China market has also impacted Hollywood in the choices of movies made and how content is designed to appeal to the Chinese. This has been evident in major international blockbusters such as "Iron Man 3", "Transformers: Age of Extinction" and the upcoming "Pacific Rim 2" that has been green-lit.
Of course, Asia does not just consist of China. There are multiple economic "powerhouse" cities that demand entertainment such as Shanghai, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo, Seoul, Mumbai and Hong Kong. These are modern metropolitans with good infrastructure, excellent public transport and skyscrapers. In fact, many of the cities are better designed, more modern and built up than major western cities.
These cosmopolitan cities have world-class performance theatres, 5-star hotels, malls and venues for shows and events to be held. All these cities offer many opportunities for corporate & special events, festivals and entertainment venues.
Other less developed cities all over Asia may have opportunities for performances in festivals, circuses and touring theatre shows. There are also many less developed cities that have luxury resorts often used for corporate retreats or Meetings, Incentives, Conventions & Exhibitions (MICE events).
The luxury cruise market is also booming in Asia, especially for the North Asia market. Many international cruise liners are now serving Asia in the summer and the number is only growing. Royal Caribbean's newest largest ship, "Ovation of the Seas" (a ship I'm headlining in the second half of 2016) will be based out of Tianjin from 2016.
So, there are many opportunities for entertainers to get lucrative work in Asia although the work is very diverse and not solely in traditional performance venues like in theatres. showrooms, varieties or circuses in the US and Europe.
I will discuss four specific areas that are highly relevant to entertainers.
The audience culture of Asians is quite different from Western audiences. In general, Asian audiences are much less expressive than Western audiences.
One obvious example is the standing ovation. It is common for Western audiences to give standing ovations to an outstanding act or a show that they thoroughly enjoyed. This is generally not the case in Asia.
If an Asian audience really likes an act or show, they may clap loudly or cheer. The equivalent of the standing ovation is when the audience holds their hands high up or above their heads when they clap.
However; even within Asia, there is a disparity in the way audiences in different counties react or express themselves. Naturally, this is a generalized statement and does not take into account the differences in reactions in different social settings or between social classes.
There are sociological and cultural reasons why different Asian audiences react differently from each other and why Asians in general react differently from Western audiences but this is not the scope of this article.
Here is a guideline of how expressive different audiences are in Asia.
5 – Most expressive. Loud applause, cheers, visual & verbal reactions.
As a comparison, the average Western audience would be a 4 or 5.
I'm almost embarrassed to admit but Singapore (my home country) is the toughest audience in Asia and possibly in the world. Many Western performers who have performed here have called it the "performer's graveyard". So, it you can do well in Singapore, you are likely to do well anywhere else in the world.
Like in any other part of the world, each country has its own language. The business language throughout Asia is English but there are many countries where English is not widely spoken. This includes China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia; to name the major counties.
Most people in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Philippines and India speak and understand English.
There are enough countries where you can perform in English but naturally, if you have a silent act, you can perform anywhere. If you are a foreigner but can perform in one of the Asian languages, you will also be in demand, if you have a solid act.
Naturally, in terms of content, you have to be aware of certain cultural sensitivities in the counties you perform in. You must also be aware that pop culture from your country or region may be lost in Asia.
Compared to the US and Europe, show support is generally not of the same standard.
Aside from the handful of world-class performance venues throughout Asia and special events managed by top event management companies, most venues and event support services are generally slightly below average based on international benchmarks.
When it comes to hardware, standards are comparable to Europe and the US but unfortunately, the human professional expertise does not accompany the hardware. Standards vary from country to country but generally, the standards in Asian are significantly lower than in Europe and the US.
In fact, getting to work with high-level professionals at general shows or events occurs only about 30% of the time. This covers all aspects of a show from set design, sound, lighting & video, stage management and show production.
Stage crew and technicians are generally not professionals who have a high level of professional expertise but are usually freelancers who do not have any formal training or professional experience.
You have to manage your expectations and keep cues simple. Many show callers or technicians may not even be familiar with a set of professional cues and might find them overwhelming.
In addition, there might be a language barrier so it is important to be patient, clear and keep things as simple as possible. Most professional shows or acts will bring their own show caller to run the show to avoid problems in culture or communication.
At a professional level for entertainers,doing business in Asia is no different from most developing or developed countries.
Clients or show bookers will communicate in English, even if it is their second language. Although it is also possible that they might be using Google Translate to translate their emails.
The level of professionalism and responsiveness in communication varies from country to country: although at the high level, it is pretty much good all around.
Having said that, when it comes to responsiveness in communication, I have found that the culture in India is particularly unresponsive. It is common for a client or show booker in India to make request for a quotation or proposal and never respond even after follow up emails or calls. Then, two weeks before the show, they contact you again out of the blue to confirm the show and expect you to be available to take on the show.
Any time you do business internationally, not just in Asia, you have to be sure you know who you are dealing with. Trust and risk are part of business so you have to access the legitimacy of the booking and the client.
A lot depends on the reputation of the client or show booker. Researching online or asking fellow entertainers will reveal if there are any issues that you should be aware of.
If your research reveals little on the client or show booker, you will have to assess his trustworthiness based on the professionalism and communication of the party. If the client is prompt and open in answering questions and provides specific answers, especially when it comes to payment and payment terms, it is an indication that the client may be trustworthy.
If you do go ahead to make a deal, be sure to have the proper contracts in place to safeguard yourself as best as possible. However, bear in mind, a contract is not a guarantee that a client will pay. At most, it gives some piece of mind. If a client defaults on payment, the amount may not be worth going through international arbitration or getting lawyers involved at the international level.
I have heard of a story where an illusionist was "booked" to perform a show in China. Information about the theatre and theatre owner were given (which were legitimate upon research) and a contract was written up. An air ticket was sent over as well as arrangements to have all his props and equipment picked up to be shipped over to China. After the props were shipped, the illusionist flew to China only to find no one waiting at the airport. When he headed over to the theater (which existed), he discovered to his horror that no booking of his show was made and that someone had used the identity of the owner to con him into shipping his props over to China, which were now gone forever.
Of course, this could happen in any country, not just in Asia, but some countries may be more "dangerous" than others.
50% payment before you fly inclusive of full payment of air travel (return) and excess baggage costs/ shipping.
These are my contract terms when I work internationally (not just in Asia), unless it is with a large reputable organization or longstanding agent/ client.
You must also agree on who will pay for all incidental and associated costs like Visas, excess baggage costs (if any), temporary import licenses (if equipment is shipped), meals and ground transport.
One major consideration when making deals in Asia is to be aware of the exchange rate between Asian currencies and Western currencies. It is advisable to charge in US dollar or Euro, although the Asian currencies are continually strengthening against them. But currently, this is still the best option.
As this article is a general article on performing in Asia, it is impossible to cover the idiosyncrasies and unique differences of every country.
It is important for you to do your research on the specific country you are being requested in and learn as much as you can about business practices, safety, culture and etiquette.

Q: 405 Method not allowed in Spring Boot and Ajax Hi I am having request mapping like this
@RequestMapping(value = "/pendodnp/{visitorId}/{content}")
public ResponseEntity<Object> setPendoDNP(@PathVariable String visitorId, @PathVariable String content, final HttpSession session, final HttpServletRequest request) throws PendoException {
    LOGGER.info("### pendodnp");
    _splitService.updateDNP(visitorId, content);
    return ResponseEntity.ok().body(content);
}

but when I hit this URL from an angular function, it gives "405 method not allowed" error.
    $http.get("pendodnp/"+visitorId+"/"+dnpValue, JSON.stringify(dnpValue))
        .success(function(response) {

Here is screenshot of how the request is going, can someone tell me what i am missing here?

A: You haven't specified which HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc) the mapping should handle. To do that either use @GetMapping or change your @RequestMapping so it includes the method parameter.
@GetMapping("/pendodnp/{visitorId}/{content}")

Or
import static org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod.GET;
...
@RequestMapping(method = GET, path = "/pendodnp/{visitorId}/{content}")

Using @RequestMapping without a method parameter is usually only done at the class level, not individual methods. @GetMapping (or @PostMapping, @PutMapping, etc) are more common on controller methods.

Carwow appoints TBWA London to help evolve its car buying comparison site
Posted by: Emma Hall in Advertisers, Agencies, Creative, News October 10, 2019	Comments Off on Carwow appoints TBWA London to help evolve its car buying comparison site
TBWA London has been appointed as lead agency by Carwow, an online retail platform for new car buyers.
Carwow previously worked with Creature London, which made the "Tamed" campaign (below), and TBWA claims that UK billings are worth more than £5 million.
TBWA's new campaign will break before Christmas, ahead of the first quarter of the year when a third of car sales are usually made.
The comparison site, which also includes car news and reviews, was named the UK's second fastest growing company behind Deliveroo in the Financial Times 1000 last year, and has been hit by the same ups and downs as its tech startup peers. Carwow just hit a £2 million crowdfunding target within 60 minutes, but days later posted £15.9 million pre-tax losses for 2018, although revenues were up 28 per cent to £19.6 million.
The business, which attracted £25 million investment led by Daimler AG in August, has expanded into Germany and is working on Spain and France, but 84 per cent of revenues came from the UK last year.
Carwow's CMO, Phil Lloyd (who has worked at AMV and BBH), said: "Like lots of tech businesses, we're a performance marketing business to the core. But we know that evolving our mixture of channels and strategy over time to broaden the way we continue growing is vital. TBWA and their disruption approach is a natural fit for us. The team were great – engaged, interested, passionate – and the work we're creating together will have real impact."
TBWA London CEO Sara Tate, said: "Carwow is a true disruptor that is at a key stage of growth. So the brand is well placed to achieve its ambition of becoming the UK's number one new car-buying platform. We're really excited to be part of their incredible journey."
