I have tried using rollapply from library(zoo) & also mean.geometric from library("PerformanceAnalytics) but it is incorrect:
rollapply(RET,1:nrow(RET), mean.geometric)

A: Transferred from comments.
RET is an xts object and rollapply.xts in the xts package does not support vector widths.
Try this to cause it to use rollapply.zoo in the zoo package:
rollapplyr(as.zoo(RET), 1:nrow(RET), mean.geometric)

The Robber Church Paperback: by Patrick Henry Omlor (Author)
From the very beginning, Omlor understood that the English vernacular version of the Canon of the Mass (introduced in the USA on Oct 22, 1967) rendered the sacrament invalid, & he was the first to compose a competent study on the issue, thankfully, all 21 of Omlor's writings are available in this 392-page volume covering the his Writings (1968-1997).
Patrick Omlor questioned the validity of the form of consecration in the Mass of Paul VI. His argument centered on the replacement of the Latin "Pro multis" ("for many") with the English "for all" in the rite of consecration, arguing that a deviation from the earlier wording resulted in the new Mass not constituting a proper sacrifice.

Patrick Henry Omlor (June 13, 1931 – May 2, 2013) was born of Catholic parents, Joseph Peter Omlor and Helen Anastasia Omlor (née Kochan), on June 13, 1931, in Amarillo, Texas. After finishing primary school at St. Mary's Academy, Amarillo, he entered Price Memorial College, a high school in Amarillo conducted by the Brothers of the Christian Schools (F.S.C.). At the age of thirteen, in the middle of his freshman year, he was accepted at the F.S.C. Preparatory Novitiate in Glencoe, Missouri. Five years later he commenced his studies in the F.S.C. Scholasticate at St. Mary's College in Winona, Minnesota, where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics, graduating summa cum laude. While at St. Mary's he was introduced to the Summa Theologica of St. Thomas Aquinas and learned how to study it and appreciate its incomparable importance and value.
For more than eight years Omlor benefited from the sound spiritual direction and the excellent religious and secular education provided by the Christian Brothers, blessings for which he will always be grateful. But he came to realize that the religious state was not his true vocation and he left the F.S.C. Congregation in 1953. Over the next eleven years, he taught mathematics at several Catholic institutions in Louisiana and California and at the Franciscan Sisters' College of St. Joseph on the Rio Grande in Albuquerque, New Mexico, (which unfortunately was later renamed the University of Albuquerque). In 1956, while at the College of St. Joseph, he married Mary Victoria Adelo.
Following upon his career as a teacher, Mr. Omlor next became a staff mathematician at Stanford Research Institute in Menlo Park, California, where he remained until late 1972. In early 1973 he arrived in Perth, Western Australia, accompanied by his wife and their three sons and seven daughters. Until his retirement in 1993, he held the position of Operations Research Practitioner at the Western Australian Division of the Pittsburgh-based Aluminium Company of America.

This time the actor is going behind the camera to work with the studio in creating short-form and long-form content. These shows and movies will be exclusively making debuts on Amazon Prime Video. The video streaming platform is available in over 200 countries and locations.
Carnival Row marks Bloom's first project with the studio and marks Amazon's first big-budget series. Starring alongside him is model and actress Cara Delevingne. In the series, the pair are star-crossed lovers amid a war between humans and enchanted beings.
Bloom is widely known for his turn as Legolas the Sindarin Elf in The Lord of the Rings trilogy by Peter Jackson. One of his biggest roles also includes Will Turner in the Pirates of the Caribbean movie franchise.
"I have thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with Jen Salke and the team at Amazon and I look forward to growing that relationship with this new and exciting production deal," Bloom tells Deadline about his newest venture.
The actor isn't slowing down in the film industry. He recently wrapped up two movies including John Ridley's Needle in a Timestack and Rod Lurie's The Outpost.
Amazon Studios shared their excitement of working with Bloom once more. In a statement released to Deadline, studio chief Jennifer Salke said:
"Orlando is a fantastic creative talent and collaborative partner for all of us at studios. We're thrilled to continue working with Orlando not only on Carnival Row but on future projects for our Prime Video customers."

Rimmon may be an eagle warrior, but he's never known war, and he's never known love—until his kingdom's army is destroyed by Ekari, the demon of winds, and he is captured by Melkor, one of the Iron Horde that has been killing off the world's gods. Those gods have cursed Melkor and his brothers to be conquerors and never to be loved, but Melkor, hoping to overcome his fate, carries Rimmon off to his island. There, he heals Rimmon's wounds and teaches him about sexual pleasure, earning the young warrior's trust and fanning the flames of an attraction both men yearn to embrace. But the curses of vengeful gods are difficult to break, especially when Rimmon discovers Melkor is the demon who destroyed his home.

"Nature is a destination," write Stacy Tornio and Ken Keffer, the authors of The Kids Outdoor Adventure Book: 448 Things to Do in Nature Before You Grow Up. "But you don't have to travel anywhere to find it. Just open the door and step outside." That idea of fun and adventure in "nearby nature" infuses their entire delightful new book. This is an especially important concept at a time when kids are spending much more time with electronics than they are in the natural world. The Kids Outdoor Adventure Book offers a perfect counter-balance to indoor time, with activities that are easy for even the busiest families to enjoy.
The book is wonderfully, and helpfully, arranged by seasons (each of which is declared "the best season".) Each season features an array of fun outdoor activities, so that a reader might be inspired to tap a maple tree or find a turtle in spring, catch a firefly or find fossils in summer, go owling or conquer a corn maze in fall, or go ice fishing or whittle a branch in winter. In addition to all the activities, which are presented in a fun check-list fashion and have guidelines as to the "adventure scale" of each one, there are plenty of larger-scale projects, outdoor games, destinations, and foods to make, so that families and others can be kept very busy doing the book's activities over many years.
The Kids Outdoor Adventure Book is very rich. It features a range of activities, from those that are simple to do, but might have escaped notice, such as "Roll down a hill like a log" (something my daughter loved to do) to more exotic ideas like "Go spelunking" in a cave. Rachel Riordan's extremely cute illustrations complement the breadth of ideas in this jam-packed, fun-filled book. Tornio and Keffer, who are judges in the 3rd annual ClifKID Backyard Game of the Year Contest, have captured the joy of being alive and the rhythm of the seasons and the natural world. Readers of this book will surely be inspired to open the door to their own outdoor adventures.

Although school has started or will soon start for many, Fall doesn't officially begin until September 22. That still leaves plenty of time to get outside and enjoy some of summer's simple pleasures.
This classic pastime is fun to do when sitting in the grass with friends or family, or even by yourself.
Find the widest blade of grass you can. It should also be long and relatively thick.
Hold your thumbs upright, so they face toward you and touch at the knuckles and tips.
Place the grass between your thumbs, holding it so that the piece of grass is taut and there is a little air on each side of it.
Purse your lips so that a small but strong bit of air comes out of their center and blow into the opening where the grass is.
This is a charming activity to do while relaxing in a grassy meadow or field. If you'd like, make your chain into a necklace or crown.
1/3 of the way down from the flower.
Gently thread a second daisy stem through the hole, taking care not to break it. The second flower head now rests atop the first stem.
Continue to add daisies to the chain, until you have achieved a length you like. Attach the ends, if desired.
They're called fireflies, lightening bugs, glowworms, and moon bugs. They wink at us with their intermittent glow in darkening skies on humid nights. For many, seeing and catching them is the ultimate summer nature experience.
Find a humid environment— the best are fields or forests with bodies of water nearby, although fireflies are also found in parks and backyards. Though fireflies live all over the world, they are rare in the western United States.
Turn off all surrounding lights, if possible. Let your eyes adjust to the dark.
If you don't see fireflies, turn a flashlight on and off in a flashing motion to attract one.
When you spot a firefly, place the net over it and gently transfer it into the jar.
You may be able to catch it right in the jar. Fireflies are not dangerous to touch, but be careful not to crush them.
Keep your fireflies for a short time, releasing them again the same or the next night, to ensure their survival.
Learning to skip stones takes a lot of practice and perseverance, but it's an impressive skill once you master it.
Find a calm body of water.
Find a smooth, flat, lightweight stone. The flatness will allow it to skip; the lightness will allow it to be tossed a long way.
Balance near the water and fling the stone with the wrist, as you would a Frisbee.
Try to have the stone enter the water at a 20° angle. If the angle is smaller, the stone will bounce but lose energy. If the angle is bigger, the stone will sink.
With its possibilities for clear skies and warm nights, summer often offers the best opportunities to get out and gaze at the stars. Begin to get to know the night sky by locating a few key constellations, like the Big Dipper (visible over much of the Northern Hemisphere in summer) and orienting toward those. The Big Dipper appears like a ladle (bowl) and handle. To find the North Star (Polaris), extend an imaginary line up from the top corner of the ladle that is furthest from the handle. Polaris is in turn on the handle of the Little Dipper, which appears upside down and facing the opposite direction from the Big Dipper. (In the Southern Hemisphere, orient to the Southern Cross.) If possible, buy a portable star chart or get acquainted with the major constellations in your area and season. Consult your chart to find other stars and constellations, based on the ones you've already found.
Head to a farm, backyard or market while summer fruit is at its ripest, and pick your favorite peaches, apricots, plums, figs or berries and then make them into jam. If you've never tried canning, you may discover a terrific new hobby as you make family memories and lovely jars of jewel-colored jam that you'll be able to give as gifts or open in the depths of midwinter to remind you of sunny summer.
These activities and more can be found in Fed Up with Frenzy: Slow Parenting in a Fast-Moving World.

Q: Converting string data type 123 to INT, how solve bad64INT? SELECT

number_of_rides as num_rides_starting_at_station

(SELECT start_station_id,
COUNT(*) Number_of_rides
FROMbigquery-public-data.new_york_citibike.citibike_trips

AS station_num_trips
INNER JOIN bigquery-public-data.new_york_citibike.citibike_stations
ON CAST(station_id AS int64) =start_station_id --used CAST convert Station_id to INT
ORDER BY station_num_trips.Number_of_rides desc
Station_id is string, start_station_id is an int, so I tried to convert the data type to of Station ID into a INT to run the inner join, but I get Bad int64 value: 581211b2-4e42-48f2-8a8f-5f968cb1...  from BigQuery

A: It seems that some of the values in Station ID are not actual integers (you example has dashes and letters).
You could do the opposite and cast the integer into a string, or use the SAFE_CAST instead for the station_id which will product a NULL instead of an error for invalid castings.


SAVE BANGLADESH STUDENTS!! SELAMATKAN PARA PELAJAR BANGLADESH!
Bangladesh government have shut down mobile internet across swatches of the country, officials and local media as the authorities try to quell massive students protests.
It's started when 2 students got killed by speeding bus. Afterwards, thousands of students staged protests calling for improvement road safety. They were enforcing traffic laws, ensuring no one else has to die. They were checking vehicles for licenses, and caught a minister who was breaking the traffic rules. During the protests, witnessed said police fired rubber bullets and tear gas at demonstrators. The students were attacked, their eyes were gouged out, 4 females got raped by thugs. The government is trying to shut down social media. Please help them, they are children, please save them. All they wanted was for people to obey the traffic laws.
Their voices are being actively silenced, they need our helps. They're unable to access the internet via their phones. Their websites are down, everything is down.
Pemerintah Bangladesh memutuskan semua akses internet.
Latar belakangnya: ada dua pelajar yang meninggal setelah tertabrak bus yang kebut-kebutan untuk mencari penumpang. Pelajar protes dengan cara menegakkan aturan lalu lintas, mereka mengecek SIM, menilang kendaraan yang kebut-kebut an dengan maksud supaya tidak ada korban jiwa lagi.
Waktu mereka protes, mereka diserang (ada yang diperkosa, dibunuh, dibikin buta, dll). Warga Bangladesh yang menyebarkan berita ini ditangkap, diancam, dan diserang. Mereka hanya ingin supaya orang-orang menaati peraturan lalu lintas.
Tolong bantu tanda tangan dan sebar petisi ini agar masalah ini segera diselesaikan.

A visit to Santiago will never be complete without paying a visit to the Cerro Santa Lucía, which is a small hill right in the middle of the city. It borders the main avenue of the city, Avenida Libertador General Bernardo O'Higgins. A metro station is nearby, and so was the hostel that we were staying while we were there.
There are many things that can be seen inside this hill. Entry is free, but the guards ask you where you are from, with respect to citizenship.
This is a balcony made of bricks that is located near the back entrance: we entered the hill from the north, which is the smaller and less grand entrance. The grand entrance with the fountain of Neptune is on the south, something that I will see later on exit.
Another feature inside is the Castillo Hidalgo: I think it is an old mansion that is now used as a private office. I remember seeing signs saying something about the Chilean observatory, but I am not sure.
One can see good views of the Chilean skyline here. You can see that the mountains are right there, as Santiago rests on a valley in between the Andes. I believe that once you cross these mountains, then you'll end up in Argentina.
The hill is peppered with various statues: this is one I stumbled upon.
There is also a fort-like structure in the middle of the hill: people can climb that and see awesome views of the city as well.
There's also pieces of artwork that are inspired by the local indigenous culture.
I found this little statue underneath a tree, reading. I found it quite interesting and intriguing.
Finally, the gate of Neptune. This is actually the main entrance, facing the main avenue. I loved the yellow color of this structure, and I saw plenty of people taking photos of them in front of it.
So that was my visit to Cerro Santa Lucía. For my next update in this series, watch out for another Santiago landmark!
You got good skyline pictures!
I don't remember being asked anything. Citizenship doesn't really say much, does it!
Thanks! I was amazed at the Santiago skyline: there's the buildings, and just beyond them the mountains!
So beautiful! I love that statue reading. The fountain of neptune looks just like the Fontana Neptuno (don't know if I got the spelling right) at the Piazza Novana.
Now that you mention it, I think the Fountain of Neptune reminds me of another fountain, the Fontana di Trevi, due to the way the water flows down.
This was the little hill I missed - I knew it was there, saw it even from Cerro San Cristobal, but was running out of time. When I saw a picture of Che posing right there mismo, I smacked myself (read: go next time).
Haha, funny you missed this hill, but we missed Cerro San Cristobal! We were at its doorstep: we spent quite a bit of time at the neighborhood near the entrance (Barrio Bellavista), which had plenty of nice restaurants, but never really had the time to climb up the hill next to it!

Q: Generic iterator in c++ I am busy with a project and want to know what is Generic iterator class for arrays of type T and how do i write one. I have look in books and on websites and i cant find anything on it. Please help. But dont write code for me.

A: Probably a class that has operators unary *, ++ and possibly -- defined, where the first one returns a reference to the underlying T object, the second advances the iterator to the next element in the container and the last one advances the iterator backwards.
Or, if you're using some standard container, just the return value of yourContainer.begin() or yourContainer.find().
If you elaborate on your question you can get a better answer. For example, what container are you using? What's expecting a generic iterator?


Five physician response vehicles, manned by an emergency physician and paramedic make up the spearhead of the emergency medical services in pre-hospital work by the Capital Region of Denmark. The physician response vehicles provide advanced medical treatment, providing support to the region's ambulance services.
The region's physician response vehicles are the most advanced part of the pre-hospitalization emergency medical services and provide support to the ambulance services, as well as advanced treatment by physicians outside the hospital of acute, life-threatening conditions.
The physician response vehicles are operated by Pre-Hospital Services.
Pre-Hospital Services owns and runs the capital region's physician response vehicles. There are five physician response vehicles in total, three of which provide 24-hour services.
When is a physician response vehicle dispatched?
The physician response vehicles are dispatched to patients with acute, life-threatening conditions which call for early, advance treatment and medical assessment. This includes conditions such as: heart failure, acute heart disease, severe and life-threatening injuries from traffic accidents etc., and acute loss of consciousness.
Two physician response vehicles are based at Copenhagen Central Fire Station and primarily cover the geographical dispatch area "the city".

FEEDING: Feed your kitten or adult cat on a free will basis by keeping a bowl of fresh, dry food continuously available. Feed only commercial brand-name cat food formulated for your pet's age. The nutritional quality of the food will directly affect your cat's health, behavior and lifespan. Your veterinarian can assist you in the proper diet for your pet. No table scraps, dog food, bones, milk (causes diarrhea which causes dehydration) or raw fish (destroys vitamin B). Fresh water should be available at all times.
HOUSETRAINING: Show your kitten or cat where the litter box is located—its mother has already taught it how to use the box. Keep the box clean by scooping out the waste daily and changing the litter every few days. Use only mild detergents (like dishwashing liquid) to clean the box. Keep the litter box in an area separate from the food and water dishes. And if your cat suddenly stops using the litterbox, contact your vet immediately.
GROOMING: ♥ Coat: Frequent and regular brushing will prevent a heavy ingestion of hair (can cause hairballs) and will keep your pet's coat clean and glossy.
♥ Nails: Trim nails every 2-3 weeks to keep them from getting too sharp. Ask your veterinarian to show you how. Providing your kitten or cat with a scratching post will save your drapes and furniture. ♥ Teeth: Wipe your pet's teeth every couple of weeks with cotton, gauze, or a child's toothbrush soaked in baking soda. This will prevent a buildup of tartar. ♥ Baths: Cats bathe themselves and would only need a bath to control fleas.
TRANSPORTING: Always transport your kitten or cat in a pet carrier for its safety and security. Your pet will also be much happier in an enclosed container.
SAFE TOYS: Paper bags, shoe boxes, catnip toys, and rubber balls (large enough so pet can't swallow them) are safe. No small sharp objects, string or yarn.
BED: Provide your kitten or adult cat with its own bed away from heavy traffic areas (like the kitchen). Remember, kittens especially, need sleep during the day as well as the night.
SUPERVISION & COMPANIONSHIP: A kitten needs almost constant supervision for its safety, for ease of housetraining, and for proper socialization to humans. An adult cat requires less supervision, but will still need plenty of love and affection.
COLLAR AND I.D. TAG: Protect your kitten or cat with a current identification tag and collar. The I.D. tag should have the pet's name, address, and phone number. If your animal gets lost, this is the best insurance that it will be returned to you. Your pet's collar should not be too loose or too tight (you should be able to slip two fingers under the collar while your pet is wearing it) and change it as the kitten grows.
SAFETY: Keep your kitten and adult cat indoors where it will be safe from countless outside dangers. Too many well-meaning pet owners expose their pets to needless dangers because they believe, "A cat needs to be free." "It's in a cat's nature to roam." "It's cruel to keep a cat cooped up all day long." "My cat has enough sense to stay out of danger." These beliefs are not true. What so many of us "allow" our cats to do, we would never permit for our children. And yet, unlike children who grow up to become responsible for themselves, cats are totally dependent upon us for their entire lives. They are not the self-sufficient survivalists that we often give them credit as being. Outside cats are killed by cars, lost or stolen, exposed to fatal diseases, attacked by other animals, abused by cruel people, poisoned, injured in fights by other cats defending their territories, injured or killed from belts or rotating blades from under the hood of cars when the engine is started (cats often crawl under car hoods to escape the cold in winter).
Toys and attention will keep your indoor cat stimulated and happy. Screen all windows—cats can really fall from ledges or balconies and be seriously injured or killed. Keep household cleaners, electrical cords, and fragile objects safely away from your cat. Many plants are poisonous to your pet—check to see if the plants around your home are dangerous.
VETERINARY CARE: A kitten needs to visit the veterinarian several times in the first year for the necessary vaccinations that will protect it from common feline diseases. An adult cat needs to visit the veterinarian once a year for vaccinations and a physical examination. In addition, cats should be checked annually for internal parasites (such as worms). All cats, by law, over 4 months of age, must be vaccinated against rabies by a veterinarian.
PROBLEMS: Always see your veterinarian first to see if the problem is a physical one. If it is a behavioral one, seek the advice of your veterinarian or books. Most problems can be solved with knowledge and patience.


The MDY Warriors traveled all the way out to their rivals YDE on Monday night for a double header. The game started well for MDY but YDE went on a run to close out the first half cutting the warrior lead to 8 with the score 24-16. The warriors came out hot in the beginning of the 3rd and built up a nice double digit lead. The Thunder hung around and kept the game close all night. The Warriors held on to complete the sweep of the double header with the final score of 56-45. MDY had 3 scorers in double digits with Steven Nahamias leading the way with 16, Jack Elo right behind with 15 and Freddie Grinberg with 10. MDY is now 8-0 in league play going into a pivotal matchup at Flatbush on Sunday.

Sydney FC coach Vitezslav Lavicka and his team took no delight in seeing bitter rivals Melbourne Victory cop a hammering loss against Perth Glory.
The Sky Blues know the humiliating 4-1 defeat will have left the Victory players feeling embarrassed, hurt and hungry for redemption.
New Victory boss Jim Magilton questioned his players' pride and discipline in the wake of the heavy defeat and has demanded a response.
And the Sydney players are expecting to face a fired-up opponent as the Victory look to make amends in the Australia Day blockbuster at AAMI Park.
"We know they wouldn't be happy with that performance and they said that in the media so we have to be ready. They're not going to play like that twice in a week," Sydney FC defender Rhyan Grant said.
"We have to be ready for them to come out firing and I'm sure they will."
"It's always a big clash against Melbourne... They're a quality team, got quality players and we know they're not going to play like that again."
"We've got to be on our guard... Hopefully we can counter that and get a good result down there."
"It takes a couple of weeks or even longer to get the style of play to come out under a new manager."
"[Magilton's] only been there a couple of weeks now but they've still got a great team and they know how to play."
The two sides last met in the very first game of the season, with Sydney coming away from Etihad Stadium with a hard-earned 0-0 draw.
Sydney goalkeeper Liam Reddy was a standout in that match and said he is wary of a Victory team with a point to prove.
"They were disappointed with themselves against Perth and it's always a big game when Melbourne play Sydney," he said.
"We know what we're going to get from them...it's going to be a very tough encounter."
"They'll be looking to respond."
A hamstring injury to youngster Terry Antonis means Lavicka needs to find someone to slot in alongside skipper Terry McFlynn in central midfield.
Grant has played that role before but is likely to stay at right-back where he has performed strongly in the last couple of weeks.
And the 20-year-old is keen to stay in the fullback position so he can go head-to-head with in-form Victory star Harry Kewell.
"It's going to be a big test for me and something I'm looking forward to," Grant said of the coming up against Kewell.
"He's been in pretty good form lately and is one of the biggest names in Australian football."
"It's a good challenge for me and hopefully I'm up to it and we can get the three points."
Asked how he would go about trying to nullify Kewell, Grant said: "I just have to be wary, he's a great player and very skilful."
"Whether I catch him or not it's going to be a dangerous game for me."
"I have to be on my A-game I suppose and really look out for those tricky skills he pulls out."
A win for Sydney, who are currently in the last finals spot in sixth place, would see them open up a seven-point gap on the finals-chasing Victory.


A group of children from across the school had a lovely Spring visit to Dr Hamer's small holding and were lucky enough to see sheep and lambs as well as enjoying feeding her hens. The purpose of the visit was to collect a clutch of chickens eggs, return to school and set them in an incubator so that we can await the exciting arrival of chicks in school. All pupils are getting to observe the egg incubation daily in school.


It's hard to remember that back when electronic ticket capture came along, some of the largest banks exited the acquiring business to concentrate on the issuing side. The banks that remained demonstrated that bankers do not know how to sell and cannot be taught how to sell either. This gave impetus to the community of bankcard salespeople variously called independent sales offices (ISOs), merchant service providers, merchant level salespeople (MLSs), agents, and more.
These people were independent, changing sponsoring banks and processors with regularity, but times have changed. The sales process, technology and accompanying certifications and increasingly demanding requirements from the card brands have made for a complicated sale today, which is why you see salespeople working with independent software vendors and value-added resellers that provide business management software applications.
As a result, more and more salespeople are employees, as opposed to 1099 contractors or resellers. While the "good old days" were about focusing on selling or leasing equipment at high margins, packing the rate and dealing with high merchant attrition (for example, 20 percent), sales have become more technical today and generally call for more specialized, highly trained MLSs. This is a good thing for merchants.
The number of companies that want to be part of the payments business today is impressive. But only a handful of processors dominate the industry. A recent study by The Strawhecker Group found that the 10 biggest acquirers processed four-fifths of all bankcard volume in 2016. Chase processed $1 trillion in payments. Of the 10 largest, six are banks or bank spin-offs, three are pure play processors, and one does back-end processing for five of the largest banks.
Consolidation is occurring rapidly. Recently, GTCR purchased Sage N.A., First Data Corp. purchased CardConnect, TSYS purchased TransFirst, PayPal purchased Braintree, and last year Vantiv purchased Moneris. What has changed is that the buyers wanted more than a bigger portfolio of merchant accounts. They wanted the means to become integrated technology providers. For the last two years, MLSs have focused on EMV (Europay, Mastercard and Visa) and the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS). PCI was formulated to prevent card data theft and data breaches. EMV focuses on preventing thieves from producing and using counterfeit cards. PCI is mandatory; EMV is not.
Despite all the work done by ISOs, Verizon recently estimated that only 20 percent of all businesses are PCI-compliant. (The card brands report more optimistic figures). Not only do merchants have to be PCI compliant, but they also must check all their vendors and service providers to ensure they are also compliant – including their POS system provider, processor, and providers of other portals or applications.
I was shocked when I heard someone say at the ETA's Transact 17 show that the EMV implementation date of October 2015 was really "just the start of a five-year business plan"; merchants were told there would be an absolute liability shift if they were not fully compliant at that time. There is a serious credibility gap here.
This is a thrilling time to be in the merchant bankcard business. Aside from the opportunity to replace all deployed terminals with new EMV-compatible ones, excitement is growing about fundamental changes in the merchant community. One aspect of this is the Retail Apocalypse. While this blight pertains primarily to large shopping malls, no brick-and-mortar merchant is immune. And this is related to another big factor: the emergence of the GAAFA – Google, Apple, Amazon, Facebook, and Alibaba. These five companies are going to rock the world of payment processing. Consumers buying directly from Amazon are not visiting local merchants. If you are an ISO, these are the same merchants you signed and supplied terminals to. What will happen to your monthly residuals when consumers stop visiting their stores?
Against this backdrop, financial technology (fintech) providers see opportunities to replace legacy core systems, legacy technology, clunky applications and everything related to the customer experience. You might think the fintech sector is primarily focused on displacing commercial banks, but you would be mistaken. In a recent article in Let's Talk Payments, staff writer Aditya Khurjekar wrote, "[T]he scope of this effort is positively overwhelming, because it covers the following behaviors: pay, invest, save, lend, borrow, gift, donate, transfer, hedge, insure, securitize, trade, identify, and secure." Something is going on here; a lot of money is being bet on it. Fintech will not displace commercial banking, nor will banks relinquish their hold on payment processing. Fintech has targeted commercial banks, but no bank has ever failed by betting on the wrong technology, or by not being agile enough to implement new technology faster than its peers. A commercial bank would never make a mistake as huge and embarrassing as the EMV mandate issued by the card brands. Banks are not technology companies, but their daily workflows and systems and procedures are based on technology. They have the power of loans and deposits on their side; fintech doesn't. However, fintech can reduce friction and create a better customer experience.
As Larry Summers, former U.S. Treasury Secretary and Chief Economist for the World Bank, wrote in The Washington Post, "Some examples of frictions that are kind of shocking are the huge premiums people pay for title insurance when they refinance, the inability of major banks to enable clients to automatically pay down their credit line, and the $40 billion plus in credit and debit card interchange each year." A revolution is occurring in payments, with innovations occurring independently in several areas, including data warehousing, omnichannel commerce, the cloud, big data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, data analytics and open sourcing. Banks will ultimately offer aspects of these to your merchants, but the banks are not going to develop these areas themselves.
As payments expert Chris Skinner put it, "It's just not in a bank's DNA to do this." But banks are outsourcing development in these areas to fintech providers. This frees up the banks to address regulatory and compliance issues and other best practices, such as managing return on assets, return on expense, and how much in expense it costs to create a new dollar of income (the efficiency ratio). Fintechs are not great at profitability because, up to now, they haven't had to be, which is why 90 percent of them will not be around in five years.
Summers believes fintech is likely to contribute substantially by removing friction in the banking system. For example, we know the work involved in lending money, underwriting, pricing loans, hedging and so forth is tricky. A bank cannot have more than 1 percent of outstanding loans on non-accrual or it will incur regulatory scrutiny. Fintech companies don't have to worry about all that, but they can provide a solution with big data and artificial intelligence.
On the other hand, Amazon can loan money to clients because it has a comprehensive record of its clients' sales. Amazon is their landlord and also has a large deposit from their daily settlements. The bank is no longer the only depository account for a merchant. There are other intermediaries who can hold "deposits," such as Square, Intuit, and PayPal. Now Wal-Mart is developing a mobile prepaid card that would act as an electronic checking account. There are numerous exaggerations about the fintechs. For instance, just today I read a comment by someone at Trinity Ventures that "80% of the cars on the road in San Francisco are used for rideshare by drivers for Uber and Lyft." Since CrossCheck is located in Sonoma County, just north of the Golden Gate Bridge, I can say with confidence that this comment is absolute nonsense, along the lines of another absurd comment, "Cash and checks are going away, and pretty quickly too," stated last year by a senior executive at the ETA.
In addition to the 10 or 20 largest banks in the country, there are hundreds of new players with almost unlimited capital in the payments space, with dozens and dozens of new product ideas. The trick is to align with one that will succeed. Listen for the bright, clear voice with a compelling message, rising above the din, rumors, muddled and wishful thinking, and innuendo that is inevitable in a period of rapId change. That is not an easy task.

Q: Provisioning a Databricks workspace with Terraform I am trying to create a Databricks workspace by using Terraform on Azure. I use a service principal doing that with this provider configuration:
provider "azurerm" {
  subscription_id = var.sub_id
  client_id = var.client_id
  client_secret = var.client_secret
  tenant_id = var.tenant_id
}

With this configuration I can create an azurerm_databricks_workspace resource without any problems.
The next step in my workflow is to configure this workspace by creating a databricks_workspace_conf resource and passing a custom_config to it to disable personal access tokens.
So the basic structure of the Terraform is below:
# provider configuration
provider "azurerm" { ... }

resource "azurerm_databricks_workspace" { ... }

resource "databricks_workspace_conf" {
 custom_config = { ... }
}

What happens is that after creating the workspace, Terraform fails with the error cannot create workspace conf: authentication is not configured for provider pointing to the databricks_workspace_conf configuration.
So I thought it might be failing because the workspace is not fully functional yet so I moved the databricks_workspace_conf into its own module and explicitly pass a provider configuration to it.
After the workspace is created I define another provider like below and pass it to the configuration module:
provider "databricks" {
  alias = "dbricks"
  host = "workspace_url output from the workspace resource"
}

module "config" {
  source = "./config"
  providers = {
    databricks = databricks.dbricks
  }
}

This configuration fails with the error: cannot create workspace conf: cannot configure. azure-cli auth..... Please run az login to setup account
So this makes me think that no matter how I pass the provider configuration, the resource always tries to authenticate with azure-cli which I don't really want.
I'm kind of stuck.

A: The problem is that Terraform tries to parallelize creation of the resources, so it's trying to create workspace_conf before workspace is created and URL of the workspace is known. The workaround for that is to put explicit depends_on into your module that, like this (this is described in the Databricks Terraform provider's troubleshooting guide):
resource "azurerm_databricks_workspace" "this" { ... }

provider "databricks" {
  alias = "dbricks"
  host = azurerm_databricks_workspace.this.workspace_url
}

module "config" {
  depends_on = [azurerm_databricks_workspace.this]
  source = "./config"
  providers = {
    databricks = databricks.dbricks
  }
}

Unfortunately you can't put depends_on into the provider block, so you need to have it on all Databricks resources...

EFFector Vol. 14, No. 31 Oct. 16, 2001
Public Interest Postion on Junk Email: Protect Innocent Users
EFF Statement Regarding Anti-Spam Measures
Executive Summary: Any measure for stopping spam must ensure that all non-spam messages reach their intended recipients.
For the past several years, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has watched with great interest the debate regarding what to do about unsolicited bulk email from strangers, or spam. We have been asked to lend our support to bills that have been introduced in Congress, and we have been approached in various other ways to help lead the fight against this annoying intrusion into people's email mailboxes.
While members of the EFF staff and board find this unsolicited email to be as annoying as everyone else, we believe that the two most popular strategies for combatting it so far--legislation and anti-spam blacklists--have failed in their fundamental design. Anti-spam bills have been badly written, are unconstitutionally overbroad, and frequently wander into areas where legislators have no expertise, such as the establishment of Internet standards. And anti-spam blacklists, such as the MAPS RBL (Mail Abuse Prevention System Realtime Blackhole List, the most popular), result in a large number of Internet service providers (ISPs) surrepticiously blocking large amounts of non-spam from innocent people. This is because they block all email from entire IP address blocks--even from entire nations. This is done with no notice to the users, who do not even know that their mail is not being delivered.
The focus of efforts to stop spam should include protecting end users and should not only consider stopping spammers at all costs. Specifically, any measure for stopping spam must ensure that all non-spam messages reach their intended recipients. Proposed solutions that do not fulfill these minimal goals are themselves a form of Internet abuse and are a direct assault on the health, growth, openness and liberty of the Internet.
Email is protected speech. There is a fundamental free speech right to be able to send and receive messages, regardless of medium. Unless that right is being abused by a particular individual, that individual must not be restricted. It is unacceptable, then, for anti-spam policies to limit legitimate rights to send or receive email. To the extent that an anti-spam proposal, whether legal or technical, results in such casualties, that proposal is unacceptable.
The Two Extremes of the Current Email Battlefield
The legislative proposals that have dominated the anti-spam policy debate for the last several years have failed, and rightly so. The several existing state laws against spam are of questionable constitutionality, too hard to enforce even if they should be enforced, and have done nothing to stem the tide of spam. National legislation will not solve the problem either, while creating a morass of unintended consequences.
Serious problems with the anti-spam legislation we have seen to date include:
misdefinitions of key terms and concepts, including "commercial," "list," and "spam" itself;
technology-specific requirements that will be rapidly obsolete;
a focus on punishing expression rather than protecting privacy;
the giving of broad power or obligation to ISPs to control the private email of their customers;
jurisdictional problems;
unnecessary and excessive criminalization of private, civil disputes;
requirements with which senders will find it impossible to comply;
and a clear pattern of providing a defense for ISPs in the form of immunity from the simple realities and responsibilities of the marketplace, rather than one of enabling individuals to protect themselves.
But poorly-focused legislation is not the only failing proposal here. Many groups of often well-meaning people have worked on ways to avoid the various annoyances and problems caused by unsolicited bulk email. Anti-spam blacklisting groups, such as MAPS and ORBs, put heavy pressure on ISPs to conform to a set of restrictive anti-spam policies and to virally pressure other ISPs to adopt the same policies. It is estimated that over 50% of US-based ISPs and up to one third of global ISPs already participate in the blacklisting.
But blacklisting is interfering with the delivery of a significant amount of non-spam email. Systems administrators who will not adopt the suggested anti-spam policies find themselves unable to deliver their non-spamming users' mail to recipients who are on systems that participate in blacklisting. This blocking is being done at too high a cost. Ultimately, civil rights and the ability of non-spammers to communicate cannot be sacrificed to serve the goal of blocking unsolicited bulk email.
The search for a nonexistent, and ultimately impossible, legislative or ISP-level blacklist "magic bullet" solution has actually distracted the Internet community for the last five years from the real solution: better voluntary user-end filtering and/or voluntary, informed and flexible ISP-level filtering. Only an end user-controlled solution will uphold the rights of the end users while serving to deter spam by removing most of the audience and making it unprofitable to continue junk emailing.
The Right Way to Look at Spam
Until we include the free speech rights of all end-users instead of trying to stop a few wrongdoers at the cost of innocent users, any solution for dealing with spam will be fundamentally flawed. End users, known as "customers" to ISPs, should demand that none of their wanted email be censored in attempts to filter out unwanted messages. In addition, Netizens should express their dismay at spam by boycotting products advertised with spam.
On a larger scale, EFF supports combatting spam by providing end-users with adequate tools to filter unwanted messages on the receiving end. We also support the development of more robust and subtle technology for this purpose. Brightmail, for example, has created a system that does a good, if still imperfect, job. Others that attempt to do this are listed at http://spam.abuse.net/tools/mailblock.html. From a technical standpoint, we would like to see the development of better filtration software on servers, something that could work interactively with the mail recipient in defining what he or she regards as spam using pattern recognition. That is, every time somebody gets a message of a sort he or she does not want, s/he could send it to the filter, thereby making that filter smarter over time, as well as giving it the ability to "learn" as spam techniques develop.
The rights of users to send and receive email must not be compromised for quick and dirty ways to limit unsolicited bulk email. Neither misguided and ignorant legislation, nor collusive, high pressure protection schemes, have a legitimate function or place in our online future. The Constitution, and the promise of a free, open Internet that exists for and is controlled by its participants, requires us to do better.

Towing technicians (or "tow techs" for short) lead interesting lives, they find themselves being sent off at a moment's notice to assist motorists in all kinds of sticky situations. Tow techs must be highly proficient at what they do in order to ensure safety as well as to enable them to provide speedy solutions. In this blog post we bring you an interview held with Dave, one of Pine Towing's very own top of his field, veteran tow tech.
In answer to our question asking Dave to describe a "typical day at work", he said:"One of the things I most like about my job is that it's impossible for me to tell you what a typical work day holds in store for. There is no day like the next, even the most mundane towing or roadside assistance assignments differ from one another and you never know what kind of challenge you'll be sent to handle next.
Dave says he takes special pleasure in having the opportunity to assist fellow Richmond residents in a jam. "I've always liked lending a helping hand, ever since I was very young, it seems only natural to me that my work offers me the opportunity to assists fellow members of Richmond's community".
Dave tells us that so far as tow techs go being highly skilled is not just preferable but mandatory.
"Only highly skilled tow techs know how to get the job done in a way that poses no danger of bodily harm to the tech or anyone else in the vicinity" he says. You must be able to count on the tow tech handling the job at hand, anything less than top class professionalism may mean further damage to the vehicle towed, to the tow truck or to other vehicles.
At Pine Towing we employ only top of their filed, well trained and certified pro tow techs, just like Dave. We are a locally owned company and as such know how to best address the needs of Richmond's community. We are always available (24/7, 365 days a year), guarantee a 30 min ETA (to any location in or around Richmond) and speedy service once we're with you. To top all this off, you won't find any towing and roadside assistance company which offers better rates.

Discussion in 'Knee Replacement Pre-Op Area' started by Liebchen, Apr 13, 2019.
I'm scheduled for bilateral total knee replacement on 5/22. It's been more than 5 years of every other option—cortisone shots, Synvisc, PRP, acupuncture, etc. but it's time. I can't imagine going through just one replacement and still having 50% of the pain and instability I have now, which is why I am doing both. Kind of scared of being that helpless, though.
You won't be totally helpless after your TKR, although you may need a littel more help than people who have just one nee replaced.
I'm going to ask @Roy Gardiner and @SusieShoes to talk to you, as they both had successful bilateral knee replacements.
Thanks for taking the time to provide info all the time.
Liebchen, I am the same as you, but 30th for me. However it's been over 10 years for me and it's time ! The thought of 2 x downtime and recovery is not something I wanted and luckily my surgeon suggested the to have both done at same time.
Thank you, Celle and Atlas, for the warm welcome! I immediately read everything Celle sent and it was informative and a comfort to not feel so alone. It is easy to second-guess yourself when people respond with "WHAT???" at the news of doing both knees although obviously our surgeons feel it's reasonable.
Ummm.... I really don't know the whole process yet... I have an appt with the surgeon a week before op so I guess I will find out.
Kind of scared of being that helpless, though.
You won't be completely helpless. But for the first while you'll be very restricted. You'll be able to make it to the bathroom, chair, bed, and that's about it. But remember, it's worth it.
Thank you. It helps to think about it more as "restricted " than helpless. Another bilateral patient told me she was able to get around the house ( with a walker) on her own after 3 weeks, so I'm aiming for that.
I wondered if anyone had found a transfer bench type of shower seat useful for getting in and out of a bathtub shower?
That sounds like a good perspective. I want to "do it right" as well. My surgeon did say that patients cleared for bilateral replacement are typically in better shape to begin with, and for that reason tend to go straight home rather than requiring inpatient rehab.
I like to think I am in 'ok' shape. I will have my wonderful Wife with me 24/7 so I know I am in good hands and having been in retirement mode on and off for the last 5 yrs I am very proficient in "taking it easy"


I am an artist, writer, and musician. I am mostly a traditional artist, but I am currently teaching myself digital art. As for music I play Synthwave and some trance. I am waiting on getting an audio mixer and a desktop before I include drum loops in my music. Lastly I am a fictional Fantasy writer. I hope to self publish my books by becoming an electrician and paying for the whole process myself.

Rumiko Fujikawa was the daughter of Kenjiro Fujikawa, CEO of Fujikawa Industries. From very young, she was educated in a conservative environment and wasn't even allowed to join the family business due to being a girl.[1]
After Tony Stark's disappearance, Fujikawa took over Stark Enterprises, but instead of reclaiming his company, Tony founded Stark Solutions[2] and later started a partnership with Fujikawa.[1]
As the site to present the company's new projects to the World, Tony Stark chose the paradise island of Isla Suerte and Kenjiro Fujikawa decided to bring his granddaughter along. While there, Rumiko met Tony and forced him to go with her on a walk in the beach to annoy her family, who'd be driven "berserk" when it was known she "dated the infamous playboy Tony Stark".[1]
This left Tony with the impression she was just a "spoiled, flighty airhead", but after seeing her in action commandeering medical personnel and helping them deal with the wounded during Firebrand's attack and the following volcano eruption, she got his respect, and he even developed a mild attraction towards her.[3]
They met again when she heard he had been checked at Basel Stress Clinic, and so decided to fly from Tokyo to see him. During their time together, she tried to keep him away from work in order for him to relax and recover. At a picnic, she opened up to Tony and revealed that her rich-girl act was a way to tell her family that she wouldn't always follow their expectations, but the part of liking Tony wasn't a pretense. After this, the two got romantically involved.[4]
Rumiko's romance with Stark enjoyed many highs and lows. She enjoyed his jet-set lifestyle but found him often too obsessed with his work and failing to pay enough attention to her.[4][5][6][7] When she proclaimed her love for him and Tony remained silent, their relationship took a turn for the worst.[8] This was made even worse due to all the problems facing Stark in his other life as Iron Man at this point, such as his armor temporarily becoming sentient and attempting to kill him,[9] or the arrival of the Sons of Yinsen, a group dedicated to the memory of the scientist who helped Stark develop the original Iron Man armor.[10]
After she and Tony broke up, she slept with his business rival and enemy, Tiberius Stone. In remorse, Rumiko arranged for Stark to acquire sufficient stock in his old company for him to reclaim control of it.[citation needed]
Rumiko was later murdered when she was attacked by an Iron Man impostor named Clarence Ward.[11]

X-rays may provide valuable information about whether a star system will be hospitable to life on planets.
Researchers used Chandra and XMM-Newton to study 24 stars like the Sun that were at least one billion years old.
The latest study indicates older Sun-like stars settle down relatively quickly, boosting prospects for life to develop on planets around them.
A new X-ray study has revealed that stars like the Sun and their less massive cousins calm down surprisingly quickly after a turbulent youth. This result has positive implications for the long-term habitability of planets orbiting such stars.
A team of researchers used data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and ESA's XMM-Newton to see how the X-ray brightness of stars similar to the Sun behaves over time. The X-ray emission from a star comes from a thin, hot, outer layer, called the corona. From studies of solar X-ray emission, astronomers have determined that the corona is heated by processes related to the interplay of turbulent motions and magnetic fields in the outer layers of a star.
High levels of magnetic activity can produce bright X-rays and ultraviolet light from stellar flares. Strong magnetic activity can also generate powerful eruptions of material from the star's surface. Such energetic radiation and eruptions can impact planets and could damage or destroy their atmospheres, as pointed out in previous studies, including Chandra work reported in 2011 and 2013.
Since stellar X-rays mirror magnetic activity, X-ray observations can tell astronomers about the high-energy environment around the star. The new study uses X-ray data from Chandra and XMM-Newton to show that stars like the Sun and their less massive cousins decrease in X-ray brightness surprisingly quickly.
It's refreshing to have some good news to share about potential habitability.
Specifically, the researchers examined 24 stars that have masses similar to the Sun or less, and ages of a billion years or older. (For context, the Sun is 4.5 billion years old.) The rapid observed decline in X-ray brightness implies a rapid decline in energetic activity, which may provide a hospitable environment for the formation and evolution of life on any orbiting planets.
"This is good news for the future habitability of planets orbiting Sun-like stars, because the amount of harmful X-rays and ultraviolet radiation striking these worlds from stellar flares would be less than we used to think," said Rachel Booth, a graduate student at Queen's University in Belfast, UK, who led the study.
This result is different from other recent work on Sun-like and lower mass stars with ages less than a billion years. The new work shows that older stars drop in activity far more quickly than their younger counterparts.
To understand how quickly stellar magnetic activity level changes over time, astronomers need accurate ages for many different stars. This is a difficult task, but new precise age estimates have recently become available from studies of the way that a star pulsates using NASA's Kepler and ESA's CoRoT missions. These new age estimates were used for most of the 24 stars studied here.
Astronomers have observed that most stars are very magnetically active when they are young, since the stars are rapidly rotating. As the rotating star loses energy over time, the star spins more slowly and the magnetic activity level, along with the associated X-ray emission, drops.
One possibility is that the decrease in rate of spin of the older stars occurs more quickly than it does for the younger stars. Another possibility is that the X-ray brightness declines more quickly with time for older, more slowly rotating stars than it does for younger stars.
A paper describing these results has been accepted for publication in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, and is available online. The other co-authors are from Aarhus University in Denmark and Scott Wolk from CfA.

What kinds of stars are most likely to host habitable planets? A new study finds a particular class of stars called K stars, which are dimmer than the Sun but brighter than the faintest stars, may be particularly promising targets for searching for signs of life.
A team of scientists has re-created some of the first steps of life in the lab, testing whether life could emerge on other ocean worlds.
In a research breakthrough funded by NASA, scientists have synthesized a molecular system that, like DNA, can store and transmit information. This unprecedented feat suggests there could be an alternative to DNA-based life, as we know it on Earth – a genetic system for life that may be possible on other worlds.
NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has found three confirmed exoplanets, or worlds beyond our solar system, in its first three months of observations.
