The dungeon crawler-JRPG hybrid comes to the studio at the PC Gamer Weekender, powered by Omen by HP.
Battle Chasers: Nightwar is a Japanese-style RPG said to be inspired by the "classic console greats" that boasts randomly-generated turn-based battles, a fair whack of dungeon crawling, and a lovely-looking comic book-inspired aesthetic.
Created by ex-Vigil Games team members—the folks responsible for the original Darksiders—it was playable at this year's PC Gamer Weekender powered by Omen by HP. Chris invited THQ Nordic's Florian Emmerich and Stephanie Harman into the PCGW studio to discuss its reception on the showfloor and talk us through how it works in practice.


Schuylkill River at Haws Ave ramp in Norristown Pa. The club was established to enjoy the sport of bass fishing through participation in club tournaments and possible advancement through our national organization T.B.F.and the F.L.W. Along with that endeavor comes our goal to help promote bass fishing for all ages and genders with special attention to our youth. It is our hope that they will understand the resources that God has given us and to help conserve them now and for the future generations. This is done through the practice of catch and release during all of our tournaments. We then take this practice and instill it in our youth through their participation in youth clubs, events and youth tournaments. With this goal in mind we hope to help maintain our rivers and lakes through the proper use of water resources and to leave them cleaner than when we arrived.

Mapping Boston's history
By James Sullivan Globe Correspondent,November 11, 2014, 12:00 a.m.
Charlestown is seen in a map by Ed McCarthy.(Ed McCarthy)
T he pool table in Ed McCarthy's Westwood basement is a beauty. It's an antique, with leather mesh pockets and a thick slate bed. It serves as the centerpiece of the room, which also features walls crammed with memorabilia and a bar with two kegs on tap.
The billiard table, McCarthy likes to note, was salvaged from an old pool hall that was once located in Codman Square, where his Irish immigrant grandparents made their home. It's the kind of local history he quaffs like a pint of his beloved Guinness.
"Those are my favorite pieces of information — the stuff the old townies know that's not in any of the books," says the amateur historian, who works the graveyard shift as an emergency medical technician in the city. For several years now, McCarthy, 47, a father of three, has combined his love of local lore with his talent for drawing: He's been making a series of oversized, fanatically detailed maps of the city and its neighborhoods at various points over Boston's past four centuries.
The product of countless hours of research and design, McCarthy's maps are more than a mere hobby. "I burn a lot of shoe leather," he says, visiting various historical societies, state archives, the map center at the Boston Public Library, and other research institutions.
More than that, though, he makes firsthand surveys of the city's crooked, story-laden streets while on the job as an EMT.
Ed McCarthy is seen with his maps in his basement.(Jonathan Wiggs/Globe Staff)
"I drive my partners crazy," he says, asking them to turn down side streets and alleyways in the ambulance during down times, which he whiles away with a sketch pad on his knee.
And the effort shows. "Appearance-wise, I really like them," says Ronald Grim, curator at the Norman B. Leventhal Map Center at the Boston Public Library. "They have a nice design, a nice artistic style. As I remember, they seem to be very accurate." At the BPL, he says, McCarthy has consulted the state's collection of Bromley real estate atlases, which are "probably the best source he can get for doing historical research."
It's safe to say McCarthy has become familiar with the city's neighborhoods. When he took prints of his first few maps to Thomas O'Connor, the late Boston College professor considered by many the foremost authority on the city's history, he told O'Connor he'd been inspired by his 2001 book, "The Hub: Boston Past and Present."
"I thought the book needed a map," he told O'Connor. "It was irking me, so I drew one."
Amused and impressed, O'Connor told McCarthy he was welcome to use any information he could glean from O'Connor's work.
In the McCarthy basement on a recent gloomy Saturday afternoon, the self-taught cartographer carefully lays his maps on the pool table for a visitor to examine. The core seven feature Boston as it appeared at pivotal times in its history, from its founding in 1630 when it was little more than a spit of land to its "Cradle of Liberty" period in 1776 to a major US city of 2010.
Other maps zoom in on neighborhoods — Jamaica Plain, Roxbury (the "Mother of Towns"), Southie. There are two versions of that one: one with a section about Whitey Bulger and another "Whitey-free" edition.
The wide margins of the color-coded maps are dense with insets and tales from the city's past. Each map is marked by a cartouche of McCarthy's own design — an emblem he created using clip art, freehand sketches, and a scanned image of one of his mother's brooches.
To date, McCarthy has completed 23 maps of his intended 55. He hopes to see them hanging one day in City Hall or in civic buildings, bars, hotels, and "places with waiting rooms." He says he's sold about 130 prints so far at $100 a pop, mostly to friends and co-workers and by word of mouth. A few have earned places of honor in homes as far away as Florida and Mexico City.
"We have other historical maps, but these two are definitely my favorites," says Jason Turgeon, an environmental scientist who blogs about the history of his neighborhood and belongs to the Roxbury Historical Society. He has two of McCarthy's Roxbury maps hanging in his Fort Hill home.
Oddly, given the exacting nature and massive scale of McCarthy's pastime project, he doesn't come across as especially obsessive. He does allow that his son sometimes jokes he must be "in the Illuminati," what with all those meetings he takes to trade arcane information.
"I'm not obsessing," says McCarthy, cracking a second can of Guinness, "but it would be nice if it was accurate. I feel the need to get it right, to give it the attention it's due."
After some initial skepticism over the time his project was taking, his wife threw her support behind it when she realized McCarthy was bringing home some extra cash.
"I'm not going to give you [grief] about being on the computer anymore," she said, laughing.
Though he's still building his website (www.historicalboston.com) with the help of his ambulance partner (who is also named Ed), McCarthy says he knew he was onto something from the very beginning. When a co-worker wanted to buy a copy of the Southie map, McCarthy put it in a dinged-up thrift-shop frame ("I fixed it with a Sharpie") and brought it to Beth Israel, where he'd arranged to meet the man.
He laid the map on an empty bed in the emergency room and went off to track down the buyer. When he returned, he found a half-dozen doctors and nurses oohing and aahing over his map. Two of them asked to buy copies for themselves.
On the wall overlooking the pool table in his basement hangs an original 1835 reprint of the historic 1722 "Bonner map" of Boston, drawn by Captain John Bonner. A gift from a co-worker, it's the only truly collectible map McCarthy owns. More wall space is devoted to his collection of EMT uniform patches and his wife's framed Bay City Rollers album covers. (There's a blueprint from the original plans for Fenway Park leaning against the wall near the bar, ready to be hung: "I won that at a raffle, believe it or not.")
For McCarthy, Boston's back story isn't just a thing of the past.
"There are drawers at the Boston Public Library with maps from the 1700s and 1800s drawn by hand," he says. "Two hundred years from now, someone will be going through a dusty drawer and find my stuff. I'm becoming part of the history, in a way."

Today, Yuyuan Garden occupies an area of 20,000 sq. m. (2,15,278 sq. ft.) and is divided into six general areas laid out in the Suzhou style which is designed with constructed landscapes mimicking natural scenery of rocks, hills and rivers with strategically located pavilions and pagodas.
The six general areas are Sansui Hall, Wanhua Chamber, Dianchun Hall, Huijing Hall, Yuhua Hall and Inner Garden. Each area features several scenic spots within its borders. Here, tourists will be able to taste all kinds of food including local and all over the country's snacks.

Lots of western-style buildings which are full of the brilliant architecture can be seen on the west bank. While on the east bank, rows of skyscrapers spring up and rise above the cloud. The great modern skyscrapers and the characteristic buildings in different architectural styles are the best records of the development of the city and the Huangpu River. If you are in the Bund, please enjoy this beautiful view.


So sorry for the loss of your friend. You obviously worked so well together and your Chinese series was terrific. I was hoping there would be another one. Keep writing as you're one of my favourite authors.
Joe was a very dear friend of mine. He was, indeed, a giant in the scientific community. Over the years, he spoke of you often, Peter. I know he really enjoyed collaborating with you. Many thanks for writing such a touching tribute.
Peter- A wonderful tribute to a friend, from your heart as well as your head. I will miss you in Edinburgh this August you have been very helpful in my quest to write a novel.
Peter, I have just finished your book Snakehead. A super and believable story.
However can I ask you to consider your liberal use of taking The Lords name in vain.
Using Christ as a cuss word sir is unbecoming, and offensive. You are without doubt a gifted wordsmith, I am confident that to cease taking the Lords name in vain, should not prove an insurmountable obstacle or indeed lessen the excitement your stories engender.
Hugh, I am pleased you enjoyed the book. I do understand your concern. However I only put such words in the mouths of characters who would utter them. It is important that my own sensibilities do not lessen the realistic portrayal of such characters in my stories.

A Misleading Dance
June 18, 2013 /0 Comments/in Fiction /by Fiction Vortex
By Catherine Evleshin
"Deliver by Friday, or forfeit your contract," growls the CEO of Rent-a-Bot. "And don't tell me again that the programs for the lead salsabots are ten times more complex than for the follow bots."
"More like fifty."
"By the end of the week, Jason." His face disappears from the screen. Six months of work in jeopardy, and Rico, my research assistant, hasn't seen a dime in weeks. From my inbox, I open a final eviction notice sent by Building Management and a message from my wife to call before we lose Internet service.
The three alluring follow bots that I delivered four months ago are so popular that they have been requested weeks ahead. My advance long spent, the contract stipulates no further payment until I produce at least one dashing male partner to squire women desiring companionship and a surrogate willing to take orders like a pet poodle. Even in these times, it seems that women remain squeamish about paid human escorts.
I look over at Max standing by the door of my office — suave, dark-eyed, and not a living cell in his body. "Let's give it another try," he says in his sultry, computer-generated voice.
I rely on a human prototype to model Latino dances. Ten minutes on the phone to convince fast-talking Rico, my soon-to-be-unemployed assistant, to blow off his job search and grab the subway to my ninth-floor lab on 57th Street. "I've hit a wall," I tell him. "And I won't send out Max until our ladies show more enthusiasm for him."
I'd soon discovered that, unlike male test subjects who never mentioned their follow bot's body temperature, the women are hypersensitive to Max's setting. Deviate more than a degree and they complain that he feels like a feverish child or cold as a corpse.
But for the chance to practice with one of the best flesh-and-blood salseros in Manhattan, a dozen female trial subjects endure grueling sessions with Max imitating Rico's style. Afterward, we interpret their feedback.
Last month's complaints — "the lead's too soft" or "the lead's too hard" — made it sound like I was designing sexbots, until Rico slipped his arm around my waist, muttered "Soft," and tried to move me with limp fingers. Then, without warning, he gripped my hand in a turn that threw me a good meter. "Hard." It took me a week to resolve that issue.
The women often find it difficult to articulate their discontent. They groused that he didn't smell like a man until pheromones were added. I had to tease out of them that Max's breathing simulator failed to signal mounting excitement. Nonetheless, after I had programmed him to ease his hand to the small of his partner's back and pull her close, one subject quit the trials and took up Zumba.
Rico sweeps through the office door, the bot's identical twin except for a faint sheen of sweat below his hairline, and a scar on his forehead that hints at menace. He points down to the street level. "Some dude's hangin' around the door asking about you. I know a bill collector when I see one. Told him I'd never heard of you."
Rico helps himself to the last slice of congealed pizza that Max fetched two hours earlier for my lunch, then sits on the corner of my desk and props his loafered foot on the empty box. "Jason, I been thinkin'. The ladies beef that Max is too predictable, even when he nails my best moves."
"So what are you saying?"
"I tune in on my partners more than I realize, you know, give and take." He arches his neck like a fighting cock. "True, I'm the one callin' the shots. But my job is to make us both look good, to be on top of what she's gonna do, even when she's about to screw up."
His foot plunks onto the floor. "I change my movements as I go along — adapt, as you'd say. Like musicians jammin' away and find themselves headin' for a train wreck. How they save their asses just might turn out to be the best part."
"Can't the dancers, like musicians, find their way back on track?"
Rico's manicured hand carves a flourish with the pizza crust. "Change one thing, and the whole dance can go off in a different direction."
Something clicks in my brain. Dynamic determinism, like a squirrel escaping up an unfamiliar tree. He will reach safety, but makes a choice at each forked branch, so the path and destination are variable. "My friend, you have just given me an elegant example of chaos theory."
The scar on Rico's forehead turns magenta. "This ain't no chaos, man. That's a no-dancin' fool trying to dominate the floor, or a couple fumbling with steps they learned in class." A lightning shimmy passes through his shoulders. "Salsa unfolds moment to moment, with seamless invention. When I'm on, my body feels it. That's when it comes alive."
"Kudos to you, Rico, not just for your unparalleled skill, but also for your intellect."
Rico looks like he might ask if kudos are something like back pay. "I don't know about all that. If I'm thinkin' anything, it's how to get someone into bed before the night's over."
I see with blinding clarity that Max, who has been digesting all this from his corner, may never be a compelling escort for Rent-a-Bot clients. Adequate, perhaps. I'll refine the bot's programs like a meteorologist plots algorithms to predict a hurricane.
I show Rico the eviction notice. "I'll need at least three weeks to complete the modifications. If we don't make this chunk of plastic more desirable by the weekend, we'll all be out on the street." Max bleeps, and I hurry to apologize. We have an understanding that I won't insult him.
Rico looks at me long. In a spot-on imitation of the bot's measured speech, he says, "I could fill in for Max, until you figure out how to make him more of a man."
My armpits ooze while I contemplate what my wife would say about this scheme. One slipup, and there goes my reputation as the first engineer to design a successful salsabot. And perhaps my marriage. With luck, I'll get Max up to task before Rico forgets and sips a drink or escapes to the restroom while on assignment.
I glance at Max, but he offers no opinion, and I warn Rico, "You know how the women might treat a bot."
"You think I never had to bite my tongue 'cause someone was payin' me?"
"I hope you're not referring to me."
"You ain't paid me this month, boss, so you don't qualify."
I call Rent-a-Bot and leave a message to expect one lead dancer by Friday. Three nail-biting weeks lie ahead, and then my lab will fall empty and silent. No Rico, unpredictable as a stallion, no steadfast Max, and no women who can't decide what they really want in a man.
Wall Street Insider: Rent-a-Bot (RABT), the startup that went public last month, gained fifteen percent today on the NASDAQ trading desks. The significant price move reflects market confidence in RABT's line of dancing robots. Customer demand for Max, the lead salsabot, soared in the first two weeks of its release six months ago. Four replicas have been dispatched to ease the waiting list, with another hundred scheduled to arrive in major cities in the United States, Europe, and Japan.
Breathtaking in its lifelike appearance and behavior, the first Max out of the gate displayed a pronounced forehead defect. After its repair, female clients remarked that the flaw had rendered the bot more intriguing. Each iteration of Max now comes with this distinct facial scar.
Isabel Molino, popular Brooklyn dance instructor, reports that she rents one of the salsabots to serve as her teaching assistant. To test Max's competence, she feigned inappropriate moves and discovered that the bot could lead her back to the correct form without missing a step. "I've never seen anything like it," she claims. "He, or should I say 'it,' is as good as the best salseros in the borough."
With scores of women eager to meet Max's human model, Federico Suárez now offers private lessons on 57th Street in the lab where Max learned to dance. Software designer Jason Phillips is unavailable for comment, rumored to be on vacation in the Caribbean with his wife.
Catherine Evleshin is a professor of dance and Caribbean culture. Her writing appears in WordsApart Magazine, Mused – the BellaOnline Literary Review, and Caribbean and African Diaspora Dance: Igniting Citizenship by Yvonne Daniel.

The Bus Test: A Simple and Merciless Method for Improving Characters The Sins of Short Story Submissions


"Colour and material are mega. I looked in it unfortunately like Elvis in his tougher times :-("
Sumptuous, soft and elegant, this Manon Baptiste jumpsuit is everything good evening-wear should be. Made from glossy velvet, the garment is shaped in a wrap-over style with a shawl collar and deep V-neckline. Team with a long pendant necklace and tie the waist belt just-so.


It is in my hometown called Rouen, located in Normandie, that I met Laurence Philipot-Reulet. This inspiring, creative, and audacious woman is the co-founder of a brand-new concept store named 11h11 – L'heure Exquise opened the 11.11.2017 at 11:11.
The 11h11 concept store is the story of two women that knew each other since they were little girls because their parents were close friends of always. Time after time, the young ladies grew up and drew two different paths.
Frédérique first, took an engineering degree in electronics. These studies have nothing to do with what she is doing now, but life is unexpected 🤷♀. At that time, this degree actually brought her as an accountant in a very-known shop called Divine, in Rouen. It was a very famous boutique, with very-known and high-quality fashion brands.
Therefore, Frédérique managed this shop for ten years and learned how to do sourcing. Later, she opened a smaller Divine, street Saint-Romain, for ten years as well.
Laurence did international trade studies. Same as Frédérique, her studies brought her somewhere else than expected. She felt in the culture domain. For 25 years, Laurence organized large popular events such as the Armada of Rouen, the Jacques Vabre transatlantic sailing race, the Normandie Impressionism Events. She also managed the Zénith of Rouen, big performance hall, for four years.
In the meantime, across her travels around the world, she was always discovering different ways of selling, new kind of retails. She developed a sort of habit: she kept all the tags of products from suppliers she had a crush on.
Therefore, Laurence has an entire shoebox filled by tags, that was never useful for her career but that she kept, just in case. Because she knew somehow that she has a certain intuition to reveal a trend.
"When I came back to France, I was sure that I wanted to open a concept store as I saw in New-York. The first person I talked about it was Frédérique. She is a real retailer, and I knew that she would be very honest with me.
Frédérique liked the idea; she gave me some feedback on points that could be improved, she shared some directions… And one day she proposed me to open this shop together".
Motivated and inspired, the two businesswomen decided to write everything down. It was the most challenging part since both of them had several ideas that they sincerely wanted to explore.
The on-site consumption: that means consuming a cup of coffee with a tasty cake slice on the terrace.
The consumption of goods: ready-made clothes and design objects that are very different to handle as a retailer (the relationship with the supplier, the method of paying,…).
The depot sale: the cultural part of the shop with the exhibition of books and artworks that you can buy.
The tailor-made activity: on the first floor, Frédérique is creating custom-made outfits for parties and weddings.
Since 11h11 concept store is designed to be a cross-categories boutique, the challenge was to make this concept store coherent, so people understand what Laurence and Frédérique want to convey.
How to valorize everything, from the little box of matches they had a crush on to the artworks they are exhibiting. Their solution? They created a relevant and powerful "gold thread." It is like an editorial line that you apply on all aspects of your shop to make it coherent. Frédérique and Laurence oriented this "gold thread" on two values: transversality and thematics.
"It is a question of value. All over my career, in the culture domain, most of the time we were categorizing people. For instance, some people know Impressionism*, and some people do not know this painting practice from the 19th century. Therefore, we will create exhibitions only for those who know it because, in our opinion, the people who do not know Impressionism don't care about it.
Through their concept store, Frédérique and Laurence want to break the cleavage, unstandardized people.
In consequence, 11h11 concept store is welcoming all kind of public: the fashionistas who are looking for the last Chloé top, the high-tech guy who wants to discover the new start'up's gadget, the 12-years-old pupils who need their after-school snack, the grandmas who appreciate her afternoon tea,… You will find various sort of products that fit with the thematic of the shop: technologic, artworks, perfumes, clothes, beverages, and so one.
Talking about the thematic of the shop, it is probably still obscured for you at this point. To understand it, we need to explain the second approach of 11h11 concept store which is the rhythm. Every three month, 11h11 concept store changes its thematic. From the showcase, the communication, the wall paintings, to some suppliers and product lines. In only 48h, Laurence and Frédérique, with their children, Lola, Rose, Réjane, and Pierrick, are working on this brand-new store.
In consequence, every three months, they decide to highlight a new supplier according to their coherence with the new thematic. On the one hand, this allows Frédérique and Laurence to highlight some brands that they had already spotted for a while.
On the other hand, it can be difficult sometimes for Frédérique and Laurence to explain this rhythm to their suppliers: the deadline is three months only. It can concern the whole supplier or the entire product line.
Besides the books and the artworks, another kind of art is indeed present in 11h11 concept store. The music is everywhere, a mix of rock and variety, melancholic, and nostalgic, which brings a lot of humanity to the shop.
First, as I already explained before, every three months, 11h11 concept store changes its thematic. Each thematic is related to a song or a quote that transmits its values. The first thematic was about the energy and the time. Therefore, Laurence chose the song "Osez Joséphine" from the French singer Alain Baschung, that says: "…et que ne dure que les moments doux…"**.
For the second thematic about Mother Nature, Laurence chose the song called "Ton Héritage" from the French singer Benjamin Biolay.
And finally, for the last thematic about Travel, she highlighted the French singer Julien Clerc and his song "Partir," that says: "On a toujours un bateau dans le coeur un avion qui s'envole pour ailleurs…"**. I let you discover by yourself the song or quote Laurence and Frédérique picked for the new thematic Hasard that opened this week.
Besides, the music is also present in the name of the concept store. There is a lot of meanings behind the name of the shop that I reveal a few lines below. Nevertheless, in french 11h11, L'Heure Exquise is an alliteration*** with the letter Z. This figure of style is directly related to a song written by Serge Gainsbourg and singing by Jane Birkin "Exercice en Forme de Z" ("Z-shaped Exercise"). This song is actually entirely made with alliterations with the letter Z.
Talking about the name, it needed to be generic, not too feminine or masculine. For a long time, Laurence and her dad used to send each other a screenshot of their phone every time they saw the time 11:11 writing on it. It became a trick, like a four-leaf clover.
Time after time, Laurence contaminated the teams she worked with, her friends, her family… But the truth is that 11:11 is a mirror hour that significate that if you catch this, you are on the right path.
When you look at the logo, the digital time represents the personality of Frédérique, rational and down-to-earth. The graphics one represent the character of Laurence, airy and creative.
The magic in this name is that everybody can find a meaning thanks to their own experience of life. As the whole purpose of 11h11 concept store, the "gold thread," is that visitors give sense to their visit.
Regarding the European sourcing, Frédérique and Laurence are spending a lot of time on Instagram. They also recommend following the international actor MAISON&OBJET.
Shortly, 11h11 concept store will introduce two new suppliers. First, for women, DIEGA, a brand followed by Inès de la Fressange. The clothes are high-quality level but still affordable; the price goes from 90€ to 250€.
Concerning the local suppliers, in the beginning, Frédérique and Laurence were contacting them. Now, the local suppliers are coming to 11h11 concept store, thanks to word of mouth.
11h11 concept store highlight local artists such as a woman from Rouen who creates suspensions in recycled cardboard. Another girl is developing carpets made of materials she directly brings from Morocco.
There is also a tech start-up from Lille, some earrings made from a girl in Cannes, herbariums made in Paris by a Parisian start-up, and very-famous Parisian Perfumes from the Briard Institution (18th century).
Again, I had a very inspiring meeting, which brought me some much motivation for my own ideas… To finish our interview, I just needed to ask her what brought her here, what was her weapons to build up this successful life that she has now. And this quote below will always stay in my mind at each chapter of my own story.
« Follow your instinct and be audacious.
Follow your instinct because it is animal, you rarely get it wrong, it is the others who make it false. You must listen to yourself.
* Impressionism: a theory/practice in painting especially among French painters of about 1870 of for picturing the natural appearances of objects.
*** Alliteration: when you use words that have the same sound at the beginning, like "Stellar students synthesize sweet sentences".
Pour ce récit. Cela fait plaisir de savoir que des personnes arrivent à nous inspirer de découvrir des lieux qui paraisse magique et attirant.
Merci beaucoup pour le soutien!

Q: Manually terminating a systemd service that shuts down on complete I have a periodic task that runs on a cloud VM. The machine type is quite expensive, so I have a systemd unit service that launches on boot, runs a script and then shuts the machine off to save money. This works as designed.
I've had trouble doing maintenance to the machine because if I login and issue a service [] stop command, of course the system shuts down immediately (as it's supposed to).
I think I should be able to use OnFailure for this, but I'd also like the system to shutdown if the script fails for some reason (rather than leave the VM spinning in the event of a crash). Or some use of ExecStop?
There would be three cases:

*

*Process executes and terminates properly (e.g. exit code 0), system power off

*Process crashes (e.g. exit code != 0), system power off

*Service terminated/paused by user? system stays on

Simple solution is to give the service a grace period of a minute before starting, login, disable, reboot (because the service has already started), perform maintenance tasks and then re-enable. But this seems a bit clunky. The service definition is below, for reference.
[Unit]
Description="Run job"
After=network.target
StartLimitInterval=200
StartLimitBurst=30
OnFailure=systemd-poweroff.service

[Service]
Type=simple
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=30
ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 60
ExecStart=/my/script.sh
ExecStopPost=sudo systemctl poweroff -i
User=foo

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Just a note the script is run as a normal user due to the environment setup rather than anything security conscious, hence the sudo here (the account is specifically given passwordless sudo rights for poweroff).

A: Instead of running poweroff in an ExecStopPost action, move it to a separate service. That is, make your "Run job" service look something like this:
[Unit]
Description="Run job"
After=network.target
Requires=my-poweroff.service
Before=my-poweroff.service

[Service]
Type=oneshot
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=30
ExecStart=/my/script.sh
User=foo

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Note that we're using Type=oneshot instead of Type=simple, because this way the service isn't "started" until the script completes. This is important because we're triggering the poweroff through a Requires=/Before= dependency; using Type=simple, this job and the poweroff job would start at the same time. Using Type=oneshot means that the poweroff job won't run until this service has exited.
Then in my-poweroff.service, you have:
[Unit]
ConditionPathExists=!/run/nopoweroff

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/systemctl poweroff -i

Now, if you want to prevent the poweroff, just touch /run/nopoweroff before your "Run job" service has finished.


So I sit here and look out the window all winter long from my office and wonder when winter is actually going to arrive. And it really never did. If you are in the propane business like we are you rely on winter to help sell gas, when you don't have a winter it makes it hard the rest of the year to continue operating your business. A mild winter is good for the construction industry, builders can continue building all winter, but trust me it is bad for utility heating companies. So it is funny how a little temperature change can effect us in different ways. The upside with this is there is a abundance of propane so prices this summer will be great to fill your tanks. Give us a call and get a price for a fill up from us. And lets pray for a good cold and snowy winter, the builders had their good year, let it snow.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump forced out his attorney general on Wednesday and threatened to fight back if Democrats use their new majority in the U.S. House of Representatives to launch investigations into his administration and finances. Trump came out swinging a day after his Republicans lost control of the House, and followed through on repeated threats to remove Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Sessions, a 71-year-old former U.S. senator from Alabama, was an early and loyal supporter of Trump but drew his fury when he recused himself from an investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 White House campaign. His departure was the first in what could be a string of high-profile exits as Trump reshapes his team to gird for his own 2020 re-election effort. The Republican president named Sessions' chief of staff, Matthew Whitaker, as acting attorney general and said he would nominate someone for the job soon.


Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, unexpectedly came face-to-face with the angel Gabriel. Mary was a young woman, quite possibly a teen-ager. To say that she was startled and taken aback would be a huge understatement. But Gabriel comforts her and then with a few spoken words turned her life upside down. She was going to become a mother. She was told her child would grow up to take the throne of King David and that his kingdom would have no end.
This was not an ordinary conversation. Gabriel was no ordinary visitor. Her baby would not be an ordinary son. Mary, an ordinary young woman, a sinner saved by grace, was troubled and confused and afraid as any woman would have been. She had been given the most astounding message that any woman had ever heard. She would be the mother of the Savior of the world.
Gabriel answers her that she will become pregnant by the Holy Spirit. Her son would not have a human father, he would be the Son of God, the Messiah. At this moment Mary did something that was extraordinary. She believed the word of God!
If you and I take nothing else from this Christmas season, may it be that we follow the extraordinary example of a young girl who wanted what God wanted for her life.

Q: How to name instance variables in VB.NET since not case sensitive Ok hopefully this does not get deleted because I really am interested in some input on my question but I realize it is a bit subjective.  I really like in C# when defining a varaible of a type I can use the same name but just have the 1st letter lower case to differentiate it from its type; I see it done often:
MyType myType = new MyType();

Ok I can't do this in VB.NET because it is not a case sensitive language so I end up doing all sorts of stuff (keep improving) to create a name for the variable. I realize I can use an underscore "_" in front of the type, but I don't really like that, as that is also used to denote class level variables (or 'm' is used too). So I end up always trying something like:
Dim Typ As New MyType()

Ok it works, but I like the C# way better because it makes so much sense. Just make the 1st letter lowercase.
Any suggestions other than the underscore preceeding the variable name on this topic?
Thanks!

A: Using the lower case version of the class name is actually a bad practice in actual code. It's good for use in code examples because they only show the basic function of a class. But you never use "integer" (or should not) as variable name because it describes what data is stored, not what it's used for.
Instead you should choose names that describe what the variable is used for.
Edit: It's common practice to use variable names that describe the class because the class often defines what the object is used for. Still you should choose a name specific for the situation, like if you are making a list of errors: instead of stringBuilder you should use allErrorsFound.
Edit example:
class Person
{
    Person friend = new Person();
    public void GetPencil()
    {
        bool pencilFound =
            friend.AskQuestion(this, "Can I borrow your pencil?")
            .ToLower().Contains("yes");
    }

    public string AskQuestion(Person enquirer, string question)
    {
        // Analyze question implications.
        return "Decision made.";
    }
}

A: Visual Basic Naming Conventions, per Microsoft. (Found via "naming conventions VB.NET" search.)
Of course, follow house rules and be consistent.
Happy coding.

I only code in C#, however, my rules is: If the instance variable is exposed as part of the type, then UpperCase. If it is private ("not exposed) then camelCase.
I use an underscore prefix only to denote something of interest. For instance, COM objects which are not owned (mostly with local variables) or for backing variables for properties. That is, the use of an underscores in my code is to highlight something and "being an instance variable" is not very noteworthy.

A: Ah, this is infinit topic I believe. Basicaly I would suggest to not focus too much on way you write variable, even if this is important, like several ones for example:
put "_" in front of global class member fields
integer begin with "i", or whatever
but focus that the variables that make a part of the same "domain" looks similiary. Like variables for security/password stuff have some naming conversion, for user access management may be something else, for data layer something different..., in this case one looking on code will not just realize the type of the variable but meaning of it.
Regards.

Everything in the book takes place in a clean, modern development environment, which means you can focus on the core features of programming in the Kotlin language, without getting bogged down in the many details of building apps.
This is a sister book to the Android Apprentice the Android Apprentice focuses on making apps for Android, while the Kotlin Apprentice focuses on the Kotlin language fundamentals.
This section tells you a few things you need to know before you get started, such as what you'll need for hardware and software, where to find the project files for this book, and more.
Book Source Code & Forums
Section I: Kotlin Basics
The chapters in this section will introduce you to the very basics of programming in Kotlin. From the fundamentals of how computers work, all the way up to language structures, you'll cover enough of the language to be able to work with data and organize your code's behavior.
The section begins with some groundwork to get you started, then you have a chance to do things with your newly learned data types. Finally, you'll move past the variables and constants you've been working with, which have had concrete values, to more tricky data types.
These fundamentals will get you on your way and, before you know it, you'll be ready for the more advanced topics that follow. Let's get started!
Your Kotlin Development Environment
Toggle description
Get a quick-start introduction to Kotlin and how to use IntelliJ IDEA to work with the projects through this book.
Expressions, Variables & Constants
This is it, your whirlwind introduction to the world of programming! You'll begin with an overview of computers and programming, and then spend your time working with code comments, arithmetic operations, constants and variables.
Types & Operations
You'll learn about handling different types, including strings which allow you to represent text. You'll learn about converting between types and you'll also be introduced to type inference which makes your life as a programmer a lot simpler.
Basic Control Flow
You'll learn how to make decisions and repeat tasks in your programs by using syntax to control the flow. You'll also learn about Booleans, which represent true and false values, and how you can use these to compare data.
Advanced Control Flow
Continuing the theme of code not running in a straight line, you'll learn about another loop known as the `for` loop. You'll also learn about when expressions which are particularly powerful in Kotlin.
Functions are the basic building blocks you use to structure your code in Kotlin. You'll learn how to define functions to group your code into reusable units.
Nullability
Many programming languages suffer from the "billion dollar mistake" of null values. You'll learn about how Kotlin protects you from the dreaded null pointer exception.
Section II: Collections & Lambdas
So far, you've mostly seen data in the form of single elements. Although pairs and triples can have multiple pieces of data, you're limited to combining only two or three items with them. In this section, you'll learn about collection types in Kotlin. Collections are flexible "containers" that let you store any number of values together.
The chapters in this section will give you the foundation that you need to organize your data and code so that you can begin to do more sophisticated programming in Kotlin!
Arrays & Lists
Arrays and lists are the most common collection types you'll run into in Kotlin. They both are typed like regular variables and constants, and store multiple values in a single data structure. See how to iterate through arrays and lists and how to modify their contents.
Maps & Sets
Maps are useful when you want to look up values by means of an identifier. For example, the table of contents of this book maps chapter names to their page numbers, making it easy to skip to the chapter you want to read. With an array, you can only fetch a value by its index, which has to be an integer, and all indexes have to be sequential. In a map, the keys can be of any type and are generally in no particular order. You'll also learn about Sets, which let you store unique values in a collection.
A previous chapter taught you about functions. But Kotlin has another construct you can use to break up code into reusable chunks: lambdas. These have many uses, and become particularly useful when dealing with collections such as a list or map.
Section III: Building Your Own Types
You can create your own type by combining variables and functions into a new type definition. For example, integers and doubles might not be enough for your purposes, and you might need to create a type to store complex numbers. Or maybe storing first, middle and last names in three independent variables is getting difficult to manage, so you decide to create a FullName type.
When you create a new type, you give it a name; thus, these custom types are known as named types. Named types are a powerful tool for modeling real-world concepts. You can encapsulate related concepts, properties and methods into a single, cohesive model.
Custom types make it possible to build large and complex things with the basic building blocks that you've learned so far. It's time to take your Kotlin apprenticeship to the next level!
In this chapter, you'll get acquainted with classes, which are named types. Classes are one of the cornerstones of object-oriented programming, a style of programming where the types have both data and behavior. In classes, data takes the form of properties and behavior is implemented using functions called methods.
Kotlin has a special keyword, object, that makes it easy to follow the Singleton pattern in your projects, and is used to create properties specific to a class and not its instances. You also use the keyword to create anonymous classes.
In this chapter, you'll learn more about Kotlin properties, along with some tricks to deal with properties, how to monitor changes in a property's value and how to delay initialization of a property.
Methods are merely functions that reside in a class. In this chapter, you'll take a closer look at methods and see how to add methods onto your own classes and classes that were created by someone else.
Having seen the basics of creating classes, in this chapter you'll see the more advanced aspects of object-oriented programing, including inheritance and limiting member visibility.
Enum & Sealed Classes
Enumerations are useful when you have a quantity that can take on a finite set of discrete values. See how to define and use enum classes and see some examples of working with enum classes and when expressions.
Classes are used when you want to create types that contain both state and behavior. When you need a type that allows primarily the specification of behavior, you're better off using an interface. See how to create and use interfaces.
At some point, you will want to create abstractions that go beyond what's available in a single class or function. You'll learn how to use generics to super-power your classes and functions.
Section IV: Intermediate Topics
You've made it to the final section of this book! In this section, you'll delve into some important but more intermediate topics to round out your Kotlin apprenticeship.
Kotlin/Java Interoperability
Kotlin was designed from the start to be 100% compatible with Java and the Java ecosystem. See how to work with Kotlin and Java together in a single project and how to call back and forth between the two.
No software is immune to error conditions. See how to use exceptions in Kotlin to provide some control over when and how errors are handled.
Kotlin goes beyond just being an object-oriented programming language, and provides many of the constructs found in the domain of functional programming. See how to treat functions as first-class citizens by learning how to use functions as parameters and return values from other functions.
Conventions & Operator Overloading
You'll learn the concept of conventions and see how to use conventions to implement operator overloading and write more concise but still readable code.
Kotlin Coroutines
Kotlin coroutines allow you to simplify your asynchronous code and make it much more readable. You'll learn the difference between threads and coroutines and see examples of coroutines in use.
Scripting with Kotlin
Kotlin is not just useful on Android or the JVM, but also can be used for scripting at the command line. See how to use Kotlin as a scripting language.
Kotlin/Native
Install and become familiar with the Kotlin/Native tools that compile Kotlin code to native binaries for iOS and other platforms.
By creating a project with a shared Kotlin module, you can share Kotlin code between multiple platforms. See how to create a Multiplatform project for iOS and Android, and use the expect and actual keywords for platform-specific behavior.

One of the world's largest lithium suppliers is producing at record levels because of optimism about long-term demand for the material used in electric vehicle batteries.
"Given the demand growth expectations in coming years, we feel comfortable with the higher level of inventories that are being built," Soc. Quimica y Minera de Chile SA said after reporting second-quarter income beat the highest analyst estimates.
SQM said output levels have reached an all-time high and it's currently producing at a rate of about 70,000 tons this year. While the company expected demand in 2020 to be similar to 2019, it remained optimistic about long-term demand growth because of increasing expectations for car sales, EV penetration rates and continued government incentives.
Between mid-2015 and mid-2018, prices for lithium almost tripled as the world's EV fleet hit the 5 million mark and the auto industry began to fret over the supply of raw materials. Prices have since plunged by more than 50% and SQM expects them to be lower in the second half, though sees higher sales volumes.
The higher inventory levels posed the key concern for SQM's stock, according to a Citigroup Inc. note, citing elevated inventory throughout the supply chain and depressed prices. Albemarle Corp. and Livent Corp. "seem to be taking a more conservative approach, only producing to meet customer demand," it said.

THE LYNCHING
The Epic Courtroom Battle that Brought Down the Klan
by Laurence Leamer
A powerful account of how a Ku Klux Klan–sanctioned lynching in Mobile, Alabama, paved the way for legal victories against such hate groups.
Prolific journalist Leamer (The Price of Justice: A True Story of Greed and Corruption, 2013, etc.) ably re-creates this ugly flash point within a sprawling narrative about race relations and white supremacy's gradual weakening, noting that even after the victories and bitterness of the 1960s, "the Klan had what appeared to be a legitimate place in Mobile life." In 1981, young Klansmen randomly murdered 19-year-old African-American Michael Donald in retaliation for an unrelated shooting. After an initially botched investigation, the FBI and Justice Department oversaw the killers' 1983 convictions. The prosecution attracted the attention of Southern Poverty Law Center founder Morris Dees, who then represented Donald's family in a civil action against the United Klans of America, whose leaders first regarded it as "an aggravating, foolish lawsuit." In the middle third of the book, Leamer uses Dees' life as a lens, his growing devotion to legal activism contrasting with the massive resistance to civil rights embodied by his one-time mentor George Wallace, another key figure. While Dees was revolted by the Klan's violence, writes the author, "for Wallace…race was simply a fantastic political issue that he intended to parlay as far as it would go." By the time of the Donald murder, the Klan seemed diminished, yet Dees still faced threats as he built a case. Leamer develops incremental, disturbing portraits of the Klansmen, terming them "less a militant militia of white supremacist storm troopers than…a motley, disparate assembly of marginal men." Concluding with a well-paced courtroom drama, the author captures the climactic improbability of Dees' success, which bankrupted the UKA. Leamer confidently untangles the legal and social aspects of the story, showing how the South has grappled with the horrific legacy Donald's murder represents.
An engrossing true-crime narrative and a pertinent reminder of the consequences of organized hatred.

West Salem, WI -- As cleanup continues in the aftermath of flooding, state and federal officials urge disaster--affected residents to take protective measures to prevent the damage from happening again.
"It's safer, cheaper, and ultimately much easier to limit future destruction than repair or replace your possessions after disaster strikes," said Tom Davies of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). These are called mitigation actions.
"The rebuilding phase of a disaster is the ideal time to consider ways to limit future damage," said Al Shanks, of Wisconsin Emergency Management. " If building or rebuilding, check with your local building official for proper permits and make sure that they are adhering to local building requirements. Also consult with a contractor, architect or structural engineer to evaluate your construction or repair projects. Several thousand dollars spent on advice and preventative actions can save many thousands of dollars in later damage."
Construct floodwalls to stop floodwater from entering the building. Seal walls in basement with waterproofing compound to avoid seepage.
On new buildings, think high and dry. Build living areas above the flood level and use lower levels only for garage or work areas. It is possible to elevate existing homes, but if too expensive, rethink the use of low living areas most likely to flood.
When rebuilding after a flood, elevate or relocate your electric box or panel above flood damage to help prevent future damage.
Relocate or elevate your furnace, water heater and major appliances on a base of masonry or pressure treated lumber. They can also be relocated out of the flood danger by moving them to the first floor.
Relocate or elevate your heat pump or air conditioner.
Stop sewer backup by installing a floor drain plug. Commercial plugs are available that can be placed in the floor drain below the grate. A plug not only stops water from entering the house but it prevents it from leaving the house as well.
Install an interior floodwall of concrete blocks or poured concrete to protect heating systems.
Some mitigation measures, such as acquisition of structures or elevation of buildings are state--run, long--term projects. Interested residents should contact their local governing municipal officials. However, after working with local building officials, residents of flood--prone areas can make many simple home improvements themselves.
Remember, many homes located outside the flood zone flood every year. It is wise to consider simple ways to prevent flood damage. It is also prudent to purchase flood insurance, even if you are not in a flood zone.
Some of the best advice may come from your insurance agent and local building code officials. Ask your insurance agent about the National Flood Insurance Program. In almost all cases the purchase of flood insurance is a good investment. Homeowners' policies do not cover flood damage, but a rider for sewer backup can be added to this coverage.
"If your home is flood--prone or flood--damaged, you owe it to yourself to become knowledgeable about ways to flood--proof your property," Shanks said. "Developing a household disaster plan will help reduce the amount of structural damage to your home and financial loss from building and contents damage."
Funding for damage--prevention projects may be available to victims of the recent flood and storms who qualify for U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) low--interest loans. SBA may increase the approved loan amount by up to 20 percent if the funds are used for mitigation measures to protect the house from future damages.

Detroit's Doodle Home: A Platform for All Things Design
By Tiffany Lin and Adam Ludwig | September 16, 2013, 9:57 PM | Techonomy Exclusive
Doodle Home office space in downtown Detroit
After taking a break from her interior design career to raise a family, Jennifer Gilbert says she wanted to "get creative" again. But she quickly realized how interior design and luxury home furnishings had stagnated during her years away. She saw the inefficient, fragmented industries as being ripe for change. "I figured if someone was going to change it, why not me?" she says.
Having witnessed what her husband, Quicken Loans founder and chairman Dan Gilbert, had done to bring the mortgage business online, she resolved to bring the same efficiencies to her profession. With Doodle Home, the online "definitive resource for interior designers" that she founded, she says her goal is to "simplify the design industry through integration and technology."
Techonomy interviewed Gilbert by phone and email about what the platform does for designers, and why Detroit is a great place to launch ideas.
How does Doodle Home work?
Doodle Home is an extensive online resource for interior design. For interior designers, it's a virtual studio to run their businesses more efficiently and ultimately focus on design. It's an online platform that handles the back-end office administration associated with interior design such as requesting quotes or submitting orders — a lot of which interrupts the creative process.
Our professional members have access to exclusive tools to collect, store and order products as well as the support of a Designer's Assistant to manage the ordering process on their behalf. It's an easy-to-use, start-to-finish solution for what has been a cumbersome process. Using Doodle Home for each of their projects means interior designers can spend the majority of their time being creative.
For the general public, Doodle Home is a community to enjoy design inspiration or find an interior designer. Our Designer Directory allows users to see designers' work and connect with them for potential projects.
How do you curate the products available to users?
The beauty of Doodle Home is every product from every manufacturer is available to our users. It really is limitless. No matter where their sources are, we can digitally capture the image and information with our Doodle Home Collector — similar to the Pinterest "Pin It" button. Interior Designers can collect products from anywhere on the Web, save them in their Doodle Home Library, request quotes and submit orders all through one convenient online location. So really, our members are their own Doodle Home curator.
Designers browse the Web, upload linked images to Doodle Home, and then your team does the legwork to source those items?
Right now, interior designers usually print out and collect tear sheets in folders for every design project, and each design project may require sourcing 50 different vendors. That's 50 different contacts, SKUs, showrooms, orders — it's a lot of follow up. Designers are spending 75-80 percent of their time sourcing the product, following up, quoting and ordering.
Doodle Home tools take a lot of that off their plate. The Manufacturer Directory gives them a place to start, while the Collector lets them browse any site for product and seamlessly save it to their library without interrupting their search. When they're ready to request quotes and submit orders, everything is already organized for their Doodle Home Designer's assistant to process and track. It really simplifies everything.
How do you see the platform evolving?
The designers using Doodle Home for their projects, start to finish, are really excited about what we're building here. They are great about giving us feedback and ideas on how to improve the tools. That open communication gets us inspired to make the user experience even better, and create new tools that will help their business. We hear everything they say and get inspired by their excitement.
Now, it's really just about getting more and more designers to try it. As it is, the industry is antiquated, fragmented and hurting. But this is the new way to do business. This is the way to make the future of interior design stronger.
Are the designers on a monthly subscription plan?
We're in the early stages of monetizing, so we're testing different possibilities. We know that there are different revenue streams that we can capture, and we just have to test and see what is the best fit for our community of interior designers.
What has your biggest challenge been as an entrepreneur?
Focus, individually and as a team. It requires constant communication and making sure everybody's on the same page. You could have every single team member working really hard, but if they're not working in the same direction with the same common goal, you're going to end up with a hot mess. We've been very conscientious about that.
What it's like running a startup in Detroit?
The energy here is so exciting and there is such a positive force. No one is jaded. Everything is new. You have all of these people working not only towards their goal but a common goal — a successful Detroit. There are a lot of people saying, "Listen, I'm doing something you can benefit from… I'd like to help." It's very much an open community with a shared vision of building something great.
What sets Detroit apart from other cities in the U.S.?
It's that Midwest work ethic – that Midwest mentality. If you have a vision and the resources, Detroiters are going to roll up their sleeves and dive right in. They're not waiting for somebody else to do it for them. It's a city of builders, makers and doers.
The actual infrastructure gives you a lot to work with. The city has amazing architecture; it's right on the river. There's a fantastic urban and creative culture. It used to be that people came down when they had to, but now Detroit itself is a destination.
You can live in another city and have a great time; you can have that urban experience. But you can't have the same sense of ownership anywhere else. In Detroit every individual — every professional going to work, every student heading to class, every person dining out or enjoying the city — makes a difference. Every person makes an impact.
What does Detroit have to do to regain positive momentum?
Positive momentum is here, we just have to maintain it and grow it. Ignore the noise and keep going forward. "The more the merrier" is what I say. It can't just be a handful of individuals; it really has to be a movement. And it's already happening with the next generation. Detroit is happening, right now… everywhere you look.

US bill to hike visas for science grads; Indian students to gain
Senator John Cornyn's initiative will benefit Indian students
New York: Senator John Cornyn, the senior Republican on a panel that oversees immigration, introduced a bill on Tuesday that would make an additional 55,000 visas available each year for foreign graduates with Master's and doctoral degrees who have studied at US universities.
The bill, called the "STAR Act of 2012," would create the new visas for foreign graduates from American universities holding Masters degrees or Ph.Ds in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields by allowing them to opt for dual intent when entering the US.
Cornyn's bill could be a windfall for Indian students who typically come to the US in large numbers to study in the STEM fields. According to the 'Open Doors 2010-11? report brought out by the Washington-based Institute of International Education, there are 1,04,000 Indian students in America. A high 61 percent of these students are graduate students, most in STEM fields. India and China have been sending the highest number of students to the US over the last decade.
Cornyn's narrowly drawn initiative would add to the approximately 85,000 H-1B temporary visa slots for foreigners with high-tech training and would be aimed at graduates who have job offers in the US in fields related to their studies.
Cornyn said his bill would "bolster American competitiveness" and provide a stronger foundation for long-term economic growth and job creation in the US. "I am confident the STAR Act will provide a stronger foundation for long-term development in STEM. It would also streamline the greencard process for STEM economic growth and job creation," added Cornyn.
This is one of several immigration-related bills that could be kicked around this year in Congress. Immigration reform is likely to be a hot potato in the upcoming presidential elections, but media reports suggest there is some bipartisan support for the narrowly focused STAR Act.
Both President Barack Obama and his Republican presidential rival Mitt Romney support policies that would expand foreign graduates in STEM fields. Romney released an economic blueprint to raise the ceiling on visas and streamline visa processes for STEM students last year, while Obama addressed the issue in this year's State of the Union.
A Senate Democratic aide, however, told reporters that Democrats prefer to address the high-tech visa question in the larger context of immigration reform "rather than cherry-pick certain workers." Democrats hold a majority in the Senate and political pundits say they are unlikely to allow Cornyn's legislation to advance in its current form.
US companies have gone hoarse telling Congress that America is losing the war for talent by forcing STEM graduates with advanced degrees from American universities to leave for other competitor countries.
"We have to remember how this country was built. All of us are sons and daughters of immigrants that showed up here and made our way. We've cut off that flow," Boeing Co chief executive Jim McNerney told reporters in Washington last week while noting the US now had 2 million unfilled high-tech jobs.
Vivek Wadhwa, a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley who is also affiliated with Duke and Harvard universities, says that with India and China's rapid economic growth, coupled with the backlog on permanent-residency visas for both groups, the US is on the verge of seeing a "reverse brain drain." He made the same case before Congress by citing data from several studies he has worked on with colleagues.
"I quantified the amazing contribution that skilled immigrants make in the technology industry and raised the alarm about the reverse brain drain that is in progress. I testified, assertively, to Congress, and have been badgering our political leaders," Wadhwa said earlier.
Wadhwa epitomises the kind of talent Cornyn wants to keep in America through his new visa legislation. Wadhwa, who was this year's recipient of the "Outstanding American by Choice" award given by US Citizenship and Immigration Services, came to the US in 1980 to complete a Master's degree at New York University. He stayed on in the US to build two successful software companies including Relativity Technologies. He later joined academe.

Home > Entertainment > Big Brother
Was Jackson Michie From 'Big Brother' Arrested Before the Show? Fans Are Upset With the Houseguest
By Samantha Faragalli Younghans
Jul. 16 2019, Updated 2:55 p.m. ET
Let's be real. This season of Big Brother has been filled with a slew of showmances, handsome men, and beautiful women. However, with only three short months in the house, it's difficult to learn everything about each and every contestant. But since Big Brother is watching the houseguests at all times, it's sometimes easy to overhear personal details about their lives (especially thanks to the live feeds!).
The latest? Fans think Jackson told his fellow houseguest (and former showmance) Kathryn Dunn that he was once arrested for domestic violence during the series' live feeds. But was he? Scroll down for everything we know about Jackson Mitchie getting (or not getting) arrested.
Curious viewers began digging into the past of Jackson after this live feed blip in which Kat and Jackson allegedly got into a fight because she was running her mouth about it. And in their search, they found records from February 2018 that could be associated with Jackson due to the name, age, and location match up.
Big Brother vet Dick Donato (Evel Dick) even took to Twitter to share the records, however, he thought Holly was the one Jackson told. But fans quickly corrected him on the social media platform to let him know that it was Kat.
Beth said that Jackson was arrested or convicted, not sure, of Domestic Violence.
She didn't lie...
Here it is#BB21 pic.twitter.com/ewLYMEL4Y5

If this arrest record is, in fact, connected to Jackson, it's unclear if he was ever convicted on the domestic assault charges. Some fans are on his side when it comes to this matter, and believe that Jackson was never arrested for domestic violence.
"Something doesn't seem right about this, this says Jackson is 22, CBS says he is 24, are you positive this is the same Jackson? Or are people just jumping to conclusions because they happen to have the same name?" one wrote. Another user added, "I could not confirm this on the website. I think it's fake."
Other fans do believe it could be him, and have taken to Twitter to bash the show's casting process, specifically its casting director, Robyn Kass. "Good job @Kassting lol you need to be fired," one user wrote. "I would hope if he was convicted, which I've seen no proof of, that he wouldn't be allowed on the show," another one wrote.
One more added, "How the f--k he get cast? They even do background checks anymore on these people lol this season casting is a bit of a mess."
Only a few more days until the premiere! How do you guys feel about the house? I love the background for the living room it looks so beautiful! #BB21 #TeamJackson pic.twitter.com/KFOartOizQ
— Jackson Michie (@JacksonMichieBB) June 21, 2019
Was Jackson Michie ever actually arrested? It's unclear.
While fans may not know if Jackson was arrested, they do know that he has sure made his mark on the house this season... and not in a good way. First off, he kicked off Season 21 as the first HOH and had to banish four houseguests from the game. He has also been called out for his racist comments on the live feeds.
Lastly, he was first involved in a showmance with Kat, but told her he could no longer be associated with her. He's now in another showmance with his other fellow houseguest Holly Allen.
Only time will tell if Jackson was really arrested, but until then, he just has to focus on winning Big Brother...
