Q: What does "shortage" mean in this context? I have been trying to translate an article about wearable smart watches. The meaning of "shortage" in the text below is unclear to me: Does it mean lack of quantity or lack of quality or lack of facilities ?

There is no shortage of wearable gear out there, and really what I'm
  writing about here is the latest crop of smartwatches, most of which
  run on Android Wear. In the grand scheme, I know it is but a portion
  of what many of us may use, be it Jawbone's UP, or Fitbit, or
  Samsung's Tizen powered Galaxy Gear, and for me, it really comes down
  to a single issue. As I thought about that single issue though, I
  examined other factors that leave me feeling pensive about what lies
  ahead.

A: As an avid reader of technology articles, I strongly agree with Adam and disagree with Jim. The statement "There is no shortage of" can be clarified by assuming the context of the writer.
As a writer on smartwatches, the writer has familiarity with the assortment of options available. I would assume that the writer is a reviewer, meaning he/she is writing about smartwatches based on his/her hands-on experience with each of these. I instantly visualized the writer (as I tend to do) surrounded at a desk by an assortment of smartwatches...
With this in mind, it's clear that the "shortage" refers to the variety of smartwatches available for purchase, unless there's something else to the article talking about the quality and/or facilities related to smartwatches.

A: The negation makes it irrelevant: There is ample quantity, quality, and facilities, as applicable. No matter what you're looking for in wearable gear, it's out there.

"It's not important to be perfect here, it's important to act, to move, to start the ball rolling, to claim the evident advantages that all these plans agree with, and whatever they can get the votes for, I'm gonna support. I think it is good politics to pass this and to pass this as soon as they can. But I think the most important thing is it is the right thing for America. The worst thing to do is nothing," - president Bill Clinton, on the Hill today.
How many of us a year ago would have foreseen the fusion of the Clinton and Obama brands in this administration? It speaks well of both parties, it seems to me. And Hillary's globe-trotting role as a new kind of public diplomacy secretary-of-state is one the more astonishing things in the last nine months. What she did in Pakistan was quite something.

Optical Ignition: From Bottled Water to LED Luminaires
Hazardous location environments carry a high risk of explosion due to the presence of flammable and explosive substances which can range from combustible gas to fine airborne, particulate matter. We are well aware of these risks, as our bread and butter involves the design and production of a broad range of LED luminaires that operate in this unforgiving environment. Our inspiration for innovation sometimes comes out of the most unexpected places. A corporate environment that supports curiosity and fun allows interesting questions to emerge. One such case that captivated us was thinking about the optical properties of ordinary bottled water. We started with the simple question: "Can ordinary bottled water pose a threat in a hazardous location?" The thought occurred to us that bottled water can act as a lens to focus sunlight onto a combustible material located at the focal length. Our curiosity led us to considerations that have important but relatively little known ramifications for LED luminaires operating in hazardous locations.
So just how dangerous is bottled water?
A quick search on Youtube on this topic returns videos such as this that demonstrate how bottled water can be used as a lens to ignite paper. A recent news story from Boise, Idaho reported how a car seat caught fire because a bottle of water left on it, a result later replicated by the local fire department. So it is indeed possible to ignite combustible material with bottled water. The question is, could this pose a threat in a hazardous location environment?
The technical term relevant to this investigation is optical ignition, a pretty self-explanatory term. It is defined as the energy possessed by a stream of photons sufficient to ignite a combustible material and is measured in units of mW/mm2.
A lot of early work in the field of optical ignition was motivated by the use of fibre optics for data communications and process control in hazardous locations. Chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical and polymer manufacturing plants use Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) and Four Transform Near Infrared (FT-NIR) to measure polymers to control its polymerization process online. Online analyzers used fiber optics to place probes directly into the process pipe. Fiber optics are used extensively in hazardous process areas due to their immunity to electrical noise. It was assumed that because they were optical and not electrical, they bypassed electrical arcing plaguing electrical equipment. The cables were often run in process areas and through underground vaults with other electrical cables. ISA optical radiation committee SP12.21 chairman Tom Dubaniewicz constructed a lab experiment in which he caused films of coal dust and methane gas to combust when ignited from the optical radiation coming off the end of a broken fibre optic cable, proving the threat is real. Engineers began to realize that if optical fiber broke in an underground vault that was filled with methane gas, a sufficiently high optical radiation radiating off the end of the fiber optic cable could cause ignition. Polishing the fibre while the fiber optic laser was on could be another potential source of ignition. Recognizing the safety risk brought up by these experiments, and the legacy rollout of fiber optic in process areas, from 1995, the CENELEC and IEC proposed safe optical radiation limits of 35 mW and 5 mW/mm2. The EN50303: 2000. Group I, Category M1 standard proposes less stringent values of 120mW and 20mW/mm2. EN 60079-28: 2007 was adopted in Europe. In 2006 IEC released a standard covering optical ignition hazards, since updated in 2015, IEC 60079-28, Explosive atmospheres – Part 28: Protection of equipment and transmission systems using optical radiation. For the purpose of this article, we use the IEC 2015 standard, which adheres to the more conservative 5 mW/mm2threshold.
Back to the bottled water. Bright sunlight has a photon flux of 1 to 2 mW/mm2at the surface of the earth. This alone is insufficient to ignite materials. However, a water bottle that acts as a lens can potentially magnify the sunlight by a factor that scales it close to or beyond the 5 mW/mm2threshold. The figure below is a ray optics simulation using the open source tool found at https://ricktu288.github.io/ray-optics/ with the assumption of beam source for sunlight, a circular glass lens with refractive index of 1.33 (for water). From visual inspection alone, the magnification appears to fall somewhere between 2 and 3. It is therefore conceivable that it could exceed the minimum threshold.
Image 1.0. A macro image of a fly melted into acrylic. Notice the fly wings and hair are undamaged despite the high optical radiation.
Image 1.1. A Flir thermal image of two flies on a 800 Watt LED fixture.
Image 1.3. A image of two flies on a 800 Watt LED fixture.
The chances may be small but not impossible that a bottle of water, in the presence of a hazardous location environment in the right conditions of sunlight and geometry may exceed the threshold for combustion. Standards organizations would need to make accurate measurements to validate the potential threat.
Optical Ignition in LED Luminaires
While the bottled water example is interesting, it is not the primary concern of a lighting manufacturer. It does, however, help us to recognize that there is an explosion danger with excessive optical radiation in a hazardous location, and we must be cognizant of this in our luminaire designs. The IEC 60079-28 Ignition, Optical Radiation standard covers the range from 380 nm to 10 um and recognizes the following as potential sources of industrial optical radiation:
Electrical lamps
Mechanisms of optical ignition are:
Optical Radiation is absorbed and heated by surfaces or particles. Under ideal conditions, this may result in a sufficiently high temperature causing ignition of the surrounding atmosphere.
The wavelength of the optical radiation source matches with the Absorption band of a gas volume to cause thermal ignition.
Photochemical ignition due to photo dissociation of oxygen molecule by ultraviolet radiation.
Direct laser induced breakdown of the gas at the focus of a strong beam producing plasma and shock wave, supported by a solid material close to the breakdown point.
The IEC standard assesses ignition hazard according as Annex C and breaks down optical ignition into 3 components. The approved Equipment Protection Level (EPL) is based on combinations of these components:
Both luminaire manufacturers and facility managers must pay attention to the possibility of an optical ignition hazard when any high brightness light source is considered for installation in a hazardous location. Optical ignition often goes un-recognized as a potential hazard by the general public and site safety officers. Whenever optical radiation exceeds a certain threshold for optical power density, extra care must be taken in luminaire design, site design, and operating procedures to mitigate this risk. As the US and Canadian standards do not explicitly evaluate for this risk, it goes un-noticed by many luminaire manufacturers.
In our experience, the presence of debris or dirt on the lens of the luminaire poses the most direct risk for most real-world installations in hazardous locations. Most hazloc environments are inherently dirty, and oils, mud, dirt, and biological material can often be found on luminaire surfaces and lens. We've experienced cases where upward facing luminaires have a compromised enclosure due to flying and crawling insects that are attracted by the light, but subsequently killed by the exposure to the luminaires intense heat. Their bodies have been found melted through the lens or plastic enclosure. Since the integrity of the enclosure is critical for safety in most Class I Division 2 product designs, the compromised seal can result in a critical failure.
Any concentration of light can heat up a surface or particles. The IEC standard provides a safe upper limit of optical radiation of 5 mW/mm2, which is a specification that guides our circuit board design. When Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) fail due to excessive power in fault conditions, the boards are designed to be failsafe. Failure characteristic of certain optical sources are used to limit optical radiation in case of a fault.
Fixture Analysis
Given this knowledge, we established a standard engineering procedure to calculate and verify the optical ignition photon flux for all our fixtures designed for hazardous location application. The fixutures that use LEDs which exceed 5 mW/mm2all employ secondary diverging optics which have a focal point in an imaginary plane. This means that by the time the light is outside the lens, it is attenuated to below 5 mW/mm2. As the table of optical flux at the window shows, most of the fixtures that we manufacture turn out to be safely under the maximum optical radiation limit of 5 mW/mm2. Those that exceed it are rejected for hazardous location application.
As an example of a typical calculation, for a hazardous location model XCANLED, with a fixture size of 5" diameter (12.7 mm2)the maximum optical power is 63.3W evenly distributed across the fixture window. This means that for Zone 0, Zone 1, and Zone2, the max drive power we can use in an XCAN size fixture is around 190W (assuming 33% of LED power is converted to light out) or else the light output could be sufficient to cause an explosion (the most frequent ignition source in this case seems to be debris or absorbing materials landing on the lens or in the beam path). This only applies to a wide beam or flood luminaire without secondary optics. In the case of the secondary optics we have to consider the power density at the light emitting surface (LES) of the LED as the limiting factor for what power density can be obtained with an appropriate optical element to focus the light.
Radiometric efficiency is 33% (previously measured for a cool while XML at 113lm/W efficacy, should be slightly better than what the XCAN or RS LEDs will be operated at)
All optical power passes within the FWHM cone (a conservative estimate)
We started the discussion with bottled water. IEC 60079-28 does not cover fusion driven light sources, and our bottled water magnifying glass example unfortunately remains outside of its scope. Should we be concerned with magnifying glasses and water bottles left in the sun? Absolutely. With no written code to guide us, however, we only have our own engineering calculations and verifiable stories of bottled water causing combustion in non-hazardous location scenarios. These should be enough to warn us of the potential dangers. The long and short of it, keep and drink your bottled water in safe areas only. Or use a non-magnifying container, like a thermos!
Optical ignition is scientifically recognized as a real danger in hazardous location area and LED luminaire design and installation must respect these findings. While not currently regulated by US or Canadian standards due to industry policy adoption lagtimes, optical ignition hazards are one area where additional precaution should be proactively taken in both the design and installation of luminaires, in order to mitigate this seldom noticed risk. In the design process, maximum lumens must be traded off with staying under the optical ignition threshold. This impacts the choice of LEDs, secondary diverging optics and failsafe circuitry. In the field, while good practice indicates high brightness fixtures should always be located in the lowest hazard area possible, the orientation of those luminaires should also be carefully planned to reduce the possibility of light absorbing dirt, debris, or equipment being located in the region of highest light intensity in order to minimize the possibility of optical ignition. Windows should be facing down, and positioned away from probably splatter zones.

Infront appoints Claude Ruibal as Executive Director of Digital, Production & Sport Solutions
The proven and long-standing industry expert will lead the specialist teams within the group and drive strategic development in the field.
Infront Sports & Media, the leading international sports marketing company, has appointed Claude Ruibal as Executive Director of its newly aligned Digital, Production & Sport Solutions Business Unit. He will assume his new role as of today. Combining all digital, production and service related initiatives at a group level, the unit has been established to take advantage of the multiple synergies and opportunities to provide greater value to all partners.
The unit aims to drive innovation in traditional television production, deliver growth in new digital properties, create new content formats, new distribution models and partnerships, as well as leverage existing social platforms to increase audiences and revenue streams. These services will help clients and partners to better capture passionate, multi-media audiences and communities, to grow their future fan base and to deliver long term value in the rapidly changing and fragmented media landscape. The unit's comprehensive service capabilities will also be made available to other Wanda Sports Holding businesses, including IRONMAN races and events in China. In his leadership capacity, Claude Ruibal will report into Philippe Blatter, President & CEO of Infront Sports & Media.
The unit has been newly created to reflect the increasing collaborative opportunities and synergies between Infront's activities in:
Digital Media: including the successful operations of New York-based Omnigon, the Milan-based Digital Media and Post Production unit and the Infront Digital Solutions team in Zug
Broadcast Production: including the long-standing industry experience of HBS, based in Zug and Paris and the production unit in Milan
Sports Services: the Zug-based unit overseeing stadium advertising, broadcaster servicing, design solutions, marketing operations and communications
Claude Ruibal will have a key role in further intensifying and harmonising the business and knowledge of the respective teams, as well as seeking to establish even stronger links to related divisions and colleagues under the Wanda Sports Holding umbrella.
Claude Ruibal (61) is a senior, results-driven leader who has extensive experience in both the sport and digital industries. His impressive career has included many strategic and entrepreneurial roles across the US and Europe, including most recently Global Head of Sports Content Partnerships at GoPro, and before that as Global Head of Sports Content at Google/YouTube. Previously, he acted as Chairman & CEO of Universal Sports Television Network and Director of Global Football Management at the Coca-Cola Company. He contributes proven abilities such as starting and managing new ventures, developing and executing integrated consumer-marketing and sales programs as well as building front and back end consumer Internet streaming and content solutions. Claude Ruibal has a Juris Doctorate from the Georgetown University School of Law and a BA in Political Science from the University of California Santa Barbara.
Philippe Blatter, President & CEO of Infront, commented: "With today's technological progress and high convergence, the areas of digital, production and other services cannot be managed separately anymore. The set-up of this unit allows us to align our competencies and capabilities on joint objectives and strengthen our value proposition towards clients. With Claude Ruibal, who already has a persuading and impressive track record in the still-emerging digital sports segment, we have found the right leader to drive its strategic development. Digital, Production & Sports Solutions is set to be one of the growth engines of our group and a key strategic pillar for Infront and Wanda Sports Holding going forward."
Claude Ruibal, designated Executive Director Digital, Production & Sport Solutions, added: "It is an honor to join the Infront Group – a sought after partner for innovation, service quality and professional delivery. Together with the existing teams, I look forward to strengthening the digital, broadcast, production and service capabilities of Infront and Wanda Sports Holding, while synergising my existing capacities, long-standing industry know-how, and extensive network. Partners will benefit from an integrated approach along the entire value chain, allowing them to best exploit and monetise the opportunities of technological development in this rapidly evolving media landscape where creating the right solution is a complex strategic and operational undertaking."

Neutrals are always in style, but this season in particular you're likely to notice them everywhere. Just scroll through Instagram or flip through your favorite fashion or lifestyle magazine and see for yourself!
The reason for their popularity is simple – neutral glasses provide the perfect backdrop for any style you want to pull off. They're light, fun, incredibly versatile and look great with all skin tones and face shapes.
So What Colors Are Considered Neutrals?
It's simple. Neutral colored glasses are universally flattering. Because neutrals pair so well with everything else in your wardrobe, you can seamlessly blend them with similarly toned outfits or use them as a type of color blocking accent piece with brighter clothing.
No matter what your style, the pared-down design of these frames can help you pull together an effortlessly chic look.
So Which Neutral Should You Pick?
Don't be afraid to step outside the box a bit. The beauty of neutral tones is their subtle complexity. Colors like whisper-soft pink and cloudy gray offer a change of pace from brighter hues, and they soften the silhouette compared to the harsher, more outlined black, brown, or tortoiseshell styles.
For some inspiration, we've highlighted a few of our favorite Zennistas rocking their neutral hues on Instagram below.
Makeup and video game maven, Caty Turner, of CatySueWho Instagram fame, shows off her fierce and feminine side as she rocks a pair of our retro-inspired round eyeglasses. The full-rim round style, made with a mixture of acetate/plastic and metal, features gold arms and a marbled pink frame. Caty's edgey look proves neutrals go great with a variety of colors, from her perfectly peachy pout to her emerald tresses.
If you read Ugo Omero's blog or follow her on Instagram, you'll see she's a huge fan of neutrals and minimalist chic. That's why we love the frames she selected. The round eyeglasses in a translucent gray frame along with fine filigree detailing, add to the softness of her cozy, yet sweet look.
If there's anything self-described "retro lady" Loni Catherine is known for, it's not her subtlety. The bubbly social influencer loves bright colors, busy patterns, and a good cat eye frame. We love her new bangs, glittery eyeshadow, and bold magenta lip, which add layers of interest to her look. Paired with these square glasses in translucent pink with shiny gold finishesl, Loni Catherine's look is fun, feminine, and transcends all eras.
Talk about a social media niche. Meet Emma Z., the eyeglasses-obsessed fashion blogger. The bespectacled lens aficionado, who is particularly partial to all things leopard print, takes on a decidedly more subtle tone with these translucent acetate full-rim frames.
What's your go to neutral color? Let us know in the comments below! Also, be sure to check out the rest of our neutral glasses here!


Simon Fowler found that using git-pbuilder create with a user-supplied --basepath option fails because git-pbuilder always creates a --basepath option and passes it in. The solution, for which he provided a patch, is to just use the supplied --basepath if one is already present.
This is fixed in the latest release, along with a minor coding style fix.
You can get the latest release from my scripts distribution page.

Earlier this year, I started to do monthly working sessions from my studio, that stream live on my Facebook page. Its a great way to get behind the scenes access to my studio practice, as well as ask me any questions while I work. This little series, called Seconds in the Studio, takes place on the second of each month. You can check out past episodes on my Facebook Page. If you tuned in to my last Seconds in The Studio you heard me mention how I have really been loving listening to podcasts lately while I work in the studio. Here is a round up of my favorite artsy listens in no particular order.


Nature is undergoing a fresh start, and so are homeowners who are ready to clean up the dirt and grime that has been accumulating in basements, storage sheds, homes, and garages over the winter. Before you start your spring cleaning, review these valuable tips.
Spring cleaning can be hard work. Stretch before any vigorous cleaning activity. Break up your cleaning time — don't rush and try to clean everything in one day. Take frequent breaks if needed.
Use proper lifting techniques if you are moving large furniture or boxes. The last thing you want to do is hurt yourself while cleaning.
Depending on which area of the house you're cleaning, whether it be outside or inside, make sure you're wearing the proper gear and using the necessary safety equipment. Safety goggles, long pants, gloves, and sturdy shoes are all recommended. Consider using a mask when cleaning dusty areas or using harsh chemicals.
Have your cleaning products been sitting around since last year's spring cleaning season? Experts recommend examining all household cleaning products before using them, including laundry packets. These products may contain ammonia, sulfuric and phosphoric acids, lye, chlorine, lead, formaldehyde, and phenol.
Cleaners can burn skin, irritate eyes and cause respiratory harm. In addition, do not mix ammonia and bleach together, both of which are common household cleaners, because they create toxic fumes when combined. It may be time to go green.
Remember, Children are more vulnerable than adults to the adverse effects of chemical pollutants. Their bodies are developing rapidly, and their hand-to-mouth activities make them more susceptible to toxic exposure.
If you have children or pets, make sure all cleaning supplies and equipment are safely put away when you're done using them. It's easy to get caught up in cleaning the house and forget about a bottle left here or there.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 300 children are treated in the U.S. every day and two die as a result of poisoning. Using a caddy carrier also helps by giving you a specific place to put bottles, lessening the chance you'll accidentally leave them behind.
Spring cleaning outside your home is necessary too. Get your yard ready by trimming dead trees/shrubs, clearing overgrown plants from the walkways and repositioning any displaced stepping stones.
It's also a great time to clean out your chimneys and gutters to reduce fire or flooding hazards.

Q: Send Intent from Activity to Service (TileService) I tried to send an Intent from Activity to Service (one direction), but somehow it does not invoke onStartCommand function.

Here is my code for the Activity:
Intent serviceIntent = new Intent();
serviceIntent.setClassName("com.xx.pak", "com.xx.pak.MyService.act");
serviceIntent.putExtra("UserChoice", userChoice);
startService(serviceIntent);

Here is my code for the Service:
    @Override
    public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
        switch (action) {
            case "com.xx.pak.MyService.act":
            userChoice = intent.getIntExtra("UserChoice", 0);
            break;
        default:
            super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
            break;
        }
        return START_STICKY;
    }

One possible solution can be add service to manifest, but they are two different applications and I'm not sure how to include each other in the main manifest.
Also, if sending intents does not work, I may consider using broadcast to communicate. I'm new to Android, please let me know if I am on the correct path. Thanks.

This week's special dish at Giannino in San Lorenzo is, of course, our Pappardelle Alla Chiantigiana!
Pappardelle is a special type of pasta: very broad and flat noodles, similar to fettuccine if you want. It can be made fresh, with eggs or dried up. It originates from Tuscany and it's usually served with a nice high-quality rustic ragout, hence our recipe "alla Chiantigiana" which means made the Chianti way. Chianti is a region in Tuscany famous for the wines mainly, but also for many other delicacies such as our fantastic ragù (sauce).
We explained the process of making our Pappardelle Alla Chiantigiana but what is the best wine to go with it? Here at our restaurant in Florence, we have chosen the Chianti Classico Santedame from the Santedame Ruffino estate. This vineyard is located in the Chianti's Golden Basin, Conca d'Oro. The region is known for having low yields of grapes, this makes the wine very concentrated and with a very interesting minerals content.
Giannino is a restaurant in the center of Florence, near the Basilica of San Lorenzo, specialized in traditional Florentine and Tuscan dishes. Born in the 16th century and still very much appreciated by Florentines and tourists, Giannino serves one of the best steaks in Florence and many other typical dishes of our beautiful region.
Are you a large group? Giannino offers its halls restored from an old gallery, for large groups who want to dine in an authentic Florentine restaurant!
Giannino has represented the Florentine and Tuscan cuisine even abroad, where it received important awards! Read about us and our culinary achievements over the years!
Book a table at our restaurant in the center of Florence and enjoy a traditional Tuscan dinner with a fantastic local wine to with it! We're just next to the Church of San Lorenzo, near the very old San Lorenzo Market and just two minutes away from Duomo square.
Book now and Giannino will welcome you with a glass of fine wine and a fantastic starter!


The Hettema Group was contracted in 2010 by the Sanrio Corporation (the owners of Hello Kitty) to provide the initial concept and schematic design for a Hello Kitty theme park that was, at that time, under consideration for a location in China. While THG is proud of the creative efforts that were completed in 2011, THG was not a part of the development team that constructed the park that opened in Anji, China. Based on our interactions with Hello Kitty and all of her charming friends, THG is certain that she brings delight and happiness to every region that she inhabits. She enlivens every corner of the world with her love of nature and her unique brand of pure-hearted fun.

I downloaded Beem It about two weeks ago and started to go through the sign-up process. I stopped because I hit a hurdle confirming the two micro-transactions that Beem It posts to your bank account. You need to log in to your bank app, look at the bank entries, then enter the two amounts that appear in the Beem It sign up screen. I don't use CommBank, NAB, Westpac or ANZ, and I have a feeling my bank's system is not the newest, so the entries aren't posted in real time. They come next day. So, the last time I signed up, I missed the entries the next day and was timed out by Beem It. I started the sign-up process again and will look for the entries tomorrow. So, this is going to be written over two days.
I picked up the two small amounts and connected my bank account. It's pretty easy. The app UI/UX is simple and clean. I like it. There are three screens Pay, Transaction History, and Settings. You can pay, request or split bills. It's not rocket science. It connects to your phone's address book, so you can see who else has signed up for Beem It and beem them some cash. There is a cap of AUD200 per transaction, and you can add cards, debit cards only at this stage.
My phone book is large enough. Nobody else that I know has signed up for Beem It. I encouraged one of the team in the office to sign up, he did. We sent each other some cash, then we got bored and went back to work. But we didn't need BSB and Account numbers and we were sending money instantly, new to Australia (but not anywhere else).
It is early days but the fact that nobody in my address book has signed up for Beem It says a lot i.e. What do we need it for? This is a question we often ask when someone is pitching a software idea at Jack's Ventures, what problem is this solving? We spend a lot of time in Asia. We understand payments and payment challenges. They are different in every country - according to habits, cultures, and necessity.
We are in our 40's so maybe our habits and needs are different to the Beem It target crowd. Maybe it's good at uni when you are sharing coffees or beers. We will ask around.
Payments in Australia are already easy, and we haven't adopted QR codes. Tap and go is the way.
Beem It does not run over the NPP, as we understand it, but a payment rail combo of the eftpos system and VISA/Mastercard's payment switch.
Beem It is not 'Australia's answer to Venmo'. Venmo is cool and comes with a social hook i.e. everyone (if you like it) can see who is paying for what in real time. There was an angle to it.
We think that this is just the start of real payment innovation in Australia, and someone will think of something that fits the market, is catchy or has an edge, and serves a purpose. Beem It is not that.
Jack's loves payment products. Our team has built full banking apps, payment apps, payment switching APIs and a bunch of products with payment mechanisms. If you have a payments concept, or even if you want to build a digital bank, come in and talk it through with us.


Enhances your femininity in the most elegant and sophisticated with this lingerie jumpsuit it will reveal your weapons of seduction. Jumpsuit crossover neckline with lace detail to tone. Suggestive opening that leaves the bare backs. Comfortable elastic waist that defines your forms with lace detail on the sides. Made from soft satin fabric 100% polyester. Inseam length 6 cm, hem width 35 cm.


I'm about one… maybe two good jump scares away from being institutionalized. Playing as an Indonesian schoolgirl with a magic phone, an archeologist with amnesia, and a toddler with diapers full to the brim has had an ill effect on me. My heart just can't take it – my mind just can't take it. The filaments that hold my fragile psyche aloft are pulled taut, straining as each frayed fiber falters and my sanity slips closer towards the cold, dark depths of derangement. Which isn't super great, really. But I'll gladly surrender my faculties for a game as fun as Darkwood.
Darkwood isn't a Slender or Amnesia clone. This is a game in the vein of old school horror where atmosphere was king – you'll hear lots of comparisons to the Silent Hill series. The key to good horror is cultivating a crushing, foreboding world environment… one that fosters paranoia and unease the whole way through. Sure, jumpscares are necessary to finally break the tension, but the best horror games are dripping and oozing in atmosphere. The whole world should feel hostile, not just the denizens that inhabit it. This game doesn't want you playing it, no. It wants to play you.
Here's what you can expect playing Darkwood: your hands should be clammy with an itch you can't scratch, not now. Your face should be inches from your monitor, blinking only when necessary, scanning wildly back and forth for something, anything, to betray the game's ill intent. As you talk with each bizarre NPC you should feel nervous, wondering when the conversation will go from benignly creepy to malignantly violent. And when you finally encounter an unspeakable horror, you'll have to make that gut decision whether to run or stand your ground. I recommend running. Like with all survivor horrors, you are at a notable disadvantage. You'll also be able to set up hasty barricades… rocking back and forth as claws scratch and jaws click outside, tearing your defenses down piece by piece.
There are a lot of cool things happening with this game. Your vision is funneled, forcing the aforementioned wild scanning. You can see the world generally in your "peripheral vision" but you have to be looking relatively dead-on to see any actual threats. They'll be effectively invisible otherwise. You'll inject yourself with concoctions extracted from fauna and flora that provide mutations. They will grant a boost in one way and a hindrance in another. There's a crafting aspect that's pretty basic right now but feels natural… rough and raw. Besides health you have a stamina meter, one you'll have to keep an eye on when deciding whether to fight or fly.
Graphically speaking, Darkwood isn't exactly next gen, but it is highly stylized and creepy. It's a beautiful, dark, Gothic painting – like the ones where the eyes follow you wherever you go and it talks smack about your mother. And the music will chill you to the bone. If the environment and enemies start to give you a little break, don't worry. The music will swell and put you right back on edge, or the heavy creaks and sudden cracks of the sound design.
Like any good horror this is a challenging game. I do recommend playing with permadeath on. Adds to the spook factor! Anticipate shedding lots of your own pixelated blood. My biggest gripes? It's hard to determine sometimes – between how dark the game is and how… generally dark the colors are – what I can search and interact with and what's just a creepy thingy. The controls also take some getting used to, but that seems appropriate considering the genre.
Now seeing that this is an Early Access title my recommendation is tentative and subject to change. But at the moment there is nothing out on Steam quite like this. Every day you hear people bemoan the death of "true survival horror", myself being one of them. Well folks, it wasn't dead. Just waiting for the right moment to sing its siren song… and draw us in at least once more, into those dark and dreary woods where light dares not penetrate and your screams can't quite escape.

Q: Keep proc.stdout.on() results? I'm very new to JavaScript in general, particularly on the server-side.  I'm using node.js and have the following code:
var results = modulex.commandy(args)

Where modulex looks like:
export.commandy = function(args) {
  var output;
  var pingproc = spawn('ping', ['-c 1', 'host.com']);
  pingproc.stdout.on('data', function (data) {
    output += data;
  });

  return output;
}

If I want the commandy function to return the results of stdout from the process, how do I do this?  Won't the commandy function finish before the callback for stdout gets called?  In the code above, output is always undefined.

A: The problem is that you're returning the results before the event is fired. The function will return right away, but the event hasn't fired for pingproc.stdout.on('data'); You need to use a callback. Something like:
modulex.commandy(function(output) { /*whatever you need w/ the output here */ });
and then
export.commandy = function(args, callback) {
  var output;
  var pingproc = spawn('ping', ['-c 1', 'host.com']);
  pingproc.stdout.on('data', function (data) {
    callback(data);
  });
}

This will call the function that you pass in function(output) {} every time data is received. Alternatively, you can call the callback after you receive a certain amount of data, or once the end event is called.

Q: Android canvas - Drawing arc between to points and removing arc from path In my android application, i want to provide tracing letter feature as shown in following image :

Here i want to provide tracing of letter-D and for that i need to draw arc between two points when user starts moving finger on arc. Here, if user starts moving finger from start point and stops at end point then only it should draw arc between those points. And it should also show arc while moving finger on arc path.For that i have written below code.The problem i am facing is that, when ACTION_UP event is fired on arc path, it still shows arc drawing on canvas. But i want to remove that drawing from path if it fires ACTION_UP event in between of arc path.
Here is my code :
public class DrawView extends View implements OnTouchListener {

List<Point> pointsD = new ArrayList<Point>();
pointsD.add(new Point(520, 70));
    pointsD.add(new Point(520, 335));
    pointsD.add(new Point(520, 70));
    pointsD.add(new Point(520, 335));

public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent event) {

    float x = event.getX();
    float y = event.getY();

    switch (event.getAction()) {
    case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
        touch_start(x, y);
        invalidate();
        break;
    case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:

New York, Feb 2 (IANS) Researchers have found that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are very effective in treating children and adolescents with paediatric anxiety disorder.
They reached the conclusion after examining common medications prescribed for children and adolescents with anxiety disorders.
SSRIs are the most commonly prescribed anti-depressants, which can ease symptoms of moderate to severe depression and cause fewer side effects compared with other anti-depressants.
Symptoms of anxiety include recurring fears, aversions to social situations as well as being unable to control worries. It could manifest into troubled sleep, difficulty in concentrating, and heart and digestive issues.
According to the American Academy of Paediatrics (AAP), anxiety disorders are the most common type of mental health disorder in children.
"Clinicians have limited data to help them select from among the evidence-based treatments for patients with anxiety. This meta-analysis provides guidance in terms of medication-specific differences in efficacy and tolerability among medications, commonly used to treat pediatric patients with anxiety disorders," said Jeffrey Strawn, Associate Professor at the University of Cincinnati in the US.
"Our study synthesises evidences from multiple trials to guide clinicians and patients in deciding which medication to go for while treating children and adolescents with anxiety disorders," said Eric Dobson, psychiatry resident at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston.
For the study, researchers studied 2,623 patients, aged 11 and a half years on average. Patients with social anxiety disorders with moderate severity were randomly assigned to receive medication or placebo and had .
The results, published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, showed among anxious youth treatment response was more effective with SSRIs than with serotonin-norepineprhine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs).
While SSRIs were the most tolerable class of medication, tricyclic antidepressants were the least tolerable, findings revealed.
"This comprehensive evaluation comparing efficacy and tolerability of treatments in pediatric anxiety disorders suggests that SSRIs are superior to SNRIs and all other classes of medications," said Dobson.
The findings confirm the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry's recommendations that SSRIs should be considered as the first-line of medication treatment for anxiety in youth, Strawn noted.

is released to the USA market.
Rossi stated they could build bigger boxes which would enclose multiple E-Cats.
Inside the blue box is the controller and the E-Cat. There are the two pipes sticking out of the top of the box (cool-in, hot-out) which can be used for any gas or fluid.
Rossi stated the 22kW module (dimensions we saw in the demo) is the basis of larger units up to 200kW, which would comprise 10 x 22kW units.
Customers can quickly scale and add in-parallel to any capacity they need. Deals can be done of the cost of the ecat heat for larger installations. He stated that Leonardo Corp guarantees to customer the energy price to them is 20% less than current fees, that is 20 percent below market price, subject to negotiation for larger installations. The customer pays for the thermal energy coming out minus the electrical energy.
Orders for heat produced commercially by the E-Cat SK can now be made. Rossi stated the ideal customer would be a factory owner having a need for heat in the order of the output of one or several E-Cat SK (each producing 22 kW), and having staff that can be trained according to the safety certification (ie a factory with a engineer on hand). An existing system of heat is required as a back up, so ideal is a retro fit out with the Ecat.
According to the report, the internal temperature within the reactor reaches a temperature of about 10.000° c, heating a coolant through an embedded heat exchanger. The Standard Version of e-cat can heat water or steam up to 500-600° c. Using a different heat exchanger and other refrigerants, it is possible to reach significantly higher temperatures, essentially limited only by the properties of the heat exchanger material.
To give you an idea of the massive energy density of LENR, one barrow of Ni-H fuel, taken through the Ecat process, releases the same energy as a super tanker of oil. This is an energy density that is 100,000 times greater or more than burning fossil fuels. The LENR Effect is an exothermal nuclear process that releases energy at around 17MeV per atomic reaction compared to the burning of Hydrogen which only releases 1.5eV per atomic reaction (Burning H2 in O2). Per atom, the exothermal process has an energy content of more than a million times the energy content of the most energetic (per weight) chemical process. LENR is 100% green and carbon free. LENR is a nuclear reaction, however it does not require uranium/plutonium, has no nuclear byproducts, and has no harmful effects or safety issues like fission energy.


After a bruising year-long battle with banks that resulted in a $25 billion mortgage settlement, the state attorneys general who led the negotiations could be excused for thinking the hard part was over.
But in the months after that deal was reached, many found themselves confronted by a new challenge: fighting with lawmakers who want to siphon off money earmarked for homeowner aid for other uses.
A report released Thursday by Enterprise Community Partners, a housing nonprofit, offers the clearest indication yet that the state attorneys general -- and by extension, struggling homeowners -- are losing the fight against those with sticky fingers. States have diverted more than half of the money allocated for mortgage relief, $988 million so far, to pet projects and other initiatives, according to the report.
A little less than that, $966 million, has gone to housing and other foreclosure-related activities, as intended.
Housing advocates, especially those who counsel families in danger of losing their home to foreclosure, say the decision to reroute settlement dollars for purposes other than homeowner assistance -- even as new financial aid rolls in as part of the deal -- makes no sense.
"We are at a time when the demand for counseling agencies and legal services is at its highest, but unfortunately the capacity to help those who need it is diminished," said Kevin Stein at the California Reinvestment Coalition, a nonprofit that advocates for low-income and minority communities. "A lot of agencies have had to shift funds away from foreclosure prevention because the funds aren't there."
Unlike most spending fights in state houses across the country, this one has not necessarily broken down along traditional party lines.
In South Carolina, the Republican-led state legislature recently voted to override the veto of Republican governor Nikki Haley, who sought to spend the money on housing programs as intended. Instead, about $10 million will go to a fund that incentivizes companies to relocate to South Carolina, while $21 million will go to the state's general fund.
In Georgia, the Republican governor and GOP-led state legislature diverted the entirety of the $99 million allocated under the settlement to an economic development program, even though the Atlanta area has one of the highest foreclosure rates in the country. The Republican Attorney General, Sam Olens, had asked that the money go to homeowner assistance programs.
The most acrimonious showdown happened in California, where Attorney General Kamala Harris lost a battle with Gov. Jerry Brown, a fellow Democrat, over what to do with that state's $400 million share -- the largest received by any state under the settlement.
Harris had said that California would set aside $360 million for housing counseling, legal aid, consumer financial protection investigations and other initiatives meant to mitigate the damage caused by the foreclosure crisis, which hit the state particularly hard.
In May, Brown routed almost all of the money to the general fund, in an effort to help plug California's $15.7 billion budget hole.
In some instances, the problem isn't that the money has been rerouted, it's that it is stuck in limbo while state officials argue about what to do with it.
In Florida, another nexus of the foreclosure crisis, Attorney General Pam Bondi, a Republican, is in "discussions" with the GOP-led state legislature about how to spend the state's $300 million, according to her spokeswoman. Lawmakers have said they should help decide how the money is spent, though they haven't explicitly said they want to divert the money to other programs.
Bondi has said she wants the funds to go to homeowner counseling and other housing programs. Because the money came from a legal settlement, Bondi has taken the position that she does not need legislative approval to spend the money as she sees fit, her spokeswoman said.
It's not all bad news for homeowners. Twenty-three states are using all or substantially all of their funds for housing, according to the report.
One of those states is Ohio, where Mike DeWine, a Republican, is attorney general. Under his direction, 80 percent of his state's share, or $75 million, has gone to fund a new program that pays to tear down abandoned and decaying homes in communities particularly hard-hit by the crisis.
Some critics have argued that the program is not the best use of the money, saying the funds should instead be spread around to housing groups that offer counseling and legal services. In an interview, DeWine said that residents in the affected communities have told him they love the program, because it removes blighted homes that have remained empty for years, and in many cases are in an advanced stage of decay.
"Rather than spreading it around to different programs, I wanted to start something that would have the biggest impact," he said.
So how did he navigate around lawmakers who might have wanted to pick his pocket?
DeWine said he acted fast and didn't ask permission. "Most officials didn't know this settlement was coming," he said. "I announced on the day of the settlement how this money would be spent."
Remarkably, he didn't get a single phone call from a lawmaker who thought differently, DeWine said.

To Help Haiti We Must Turn Our Back on It
by The Haitian Times Oct. 31, 2016 Jul. 12, 2022
By Garry Pierre-Pierre
Last week I was at Florida A&M University to talk to journalism students at the invitation of the dean of the school of journalism, Ann Kimbrough. It was also homecoming and I ran into classmates and friends who I haven't seen in almost 30 years. It was a joyous time all around.
The campus, which sits on the highest of seven hills in Tallahassee, the capital, has grown tremendously. It has expanded to include a robust graduate program in the liberal arts and students now seem much more serious and career oriented than my generation.
The biggest change for me was the increase in the number of Haitian-American students attending the university. When I got there in 1982 I was one of four Haitian students on campus.
As expected, everyone I ran into wanted to discuss Haiti after the nostalgia of being back on campus had worn off. Dean Kimbrough had organized a news conference for me to talk about Haiti. I was flanked by a coterie of Haitian-American students and for half an hour fielded and answered questions about Haiti.
The Haitian students showed genuine concerns about Haiti's plight. They wanted to know what they can do to help their ancestral homeland. Most of them had never set foot in Haiti and yet Haiti was always calling on them and tugging at their conscience.
One student asked pointedly what could she and others do to help. I answered that the first thing for her to do was not to be emotional when it comes to Haiti. Rather, she has to be clinical and approach Haiti the same way a physician deals with maladies and death.
I also told her that the best thing that she can do to help Haiti is to get involved on campus activities relating to Haiti so she can learn more about the country. She needs to also get involved in local Haitian organizations to bring a youthful enthusiasm to them and a fresh way of looking at old problems.
In short, she needs to help build local institutions that can become sophisticated players and eventually play a leading role in shaping U.S policy vis-à-vis Haiti. Sending money to Haitians in Haiti lowers our buying power and diminishes our capacity to build wealth in the United States.
Furthermore, Haitians in Haiti have little respect for us. They know that viscerally we cannot stop sending remittances to our relatives in Haiti. And they know that while individually we are well off, we are weak as a community.
They've played us for suckers and we have allowed them to do so because our American upbringing tells us that we must care for country and community.
But for us to help Haiti, Haiti has to decide that it needs our help. Over the years, I've watched a cadre of Haitian-Americans move back to Haiti only to return to the U.S. dejected after a couple of years of failure and rejection by their brothers and sisters. I don't know of any Haitian entrepreneur who has had successful enterprises after returning to Haiti to invest. The streets of Petion-Ville are littered with Haitian-American entrepreneurs' failure.
Haiti's political and economic elites have been rapacious and have a sense that everyone owes them something. The international community is blamed for all ills in Haiti. No one from that class wants to acknowledge their role in the country's dire straits. If they're poor or struggling, it's got to be someone else's fault.
Despite all of this, I remain optimistic about Haiti's future. The average Haitian is tough and yearning to be dutifully employed. They value education and are chomping at the bit for a better future.
This latest setback could be a clarion call for the country to unite and decide collectively what they want to be as a nation: leaders or beggars. Why are Haitian Americans so successful while those in Haiti are languishing? The answer is simple. We have opportunity here and the elite in Haiti makes sure that social mobility dries up as fast as cement mix.
The average Haitian dream is to leave Haiti despite the long odds. The rich, meanwhile clings on to its precarious finances and hide their insecurity behind the social status bestowed upon them by birthright.
At one time the jig will be up and it will all come crashing down. At that time real change will be needed and our cooperation will be requested.
After more than 25 years reporting on Haiti, I am of the belief that for Haiti to change, Haitian Americans have to turn our back toward it. We are abused by Haitians in Haiti, thinking that because we were the lucky ones to have left that we owe them something and we are expected to come to their rescue whenever there is a problem, which is often.
Of course, we owe Haiti a debt of gratitude. Most of us living here were either born there or our parents were. But the way the Haitians want to control that relationship puts us at a disadvantage. No matter how much money or goods we send there, it won't be enough to alleviate the country's crippling poverty.

Doktor Zoidberg - postać fikcyjna, bohater popularnego serialu animowanego Futurama Matta Groeninga. Jest to kosmita, pochodzący z planety Decapod 10. Jako postać fikcyjna jest skorupiakiem.

Pracuje w Planet Express, firmie należącej do Profesora Huberta Farnswortha, jako teoretyczny specjalista od chorób ludzkich. Często wyraża zdumienie, słysząc np. o systemie kostnym u człowieka, ma także problemy z odróżnianiem płci. Jednak w sytuacjach krytycznych wykazuje niezwykły kunszt lekarski, np. w jednym z odcinków uratował Fry'a, przyszywając jego głowę do ciała Amy.

Zoidberg jest postacią samotną. Mimo więzi z przyjaciółmi z firmy, tak naprawdę jest przez nich niezrozumiany. Często ignorowany i odsuwany na drugi plan, do tego nie posiada nigdy środków pozwalających choćby na zakupienie śniadania, gdyż odebrano mu jego kartę kredytową; jest jednocześnie jedną z najzabawniejszych i najsympatyczniejszych postaci w serii.

Głosu w angielskiej wersji użyczył postaci Billy West.

Ship's agent injured by pipes on quay
Open-access content Monday 4th July 2016
An employee of North East Stevedoring Company (NESC) was moving stows (small containers) holding loose pipes at Clipper Quay, Aberdeen Harbour on 13 June 2013.
Christopher Smith, Euroline Shipping Company's ship's agent overseeing loading of the cargo onto a vessel, was hit by the pipes as they were taken to a crane at the quayside crane.
Aberdeen Sheriff Court heard that Smith sustained a fracture of the left elbow and fractures of several vertebrae. Since the incident he has been unable to return to work.
An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) revealed that NESC did not have a safe system of work in place, failing to ensure sufficient separation between vehicles and pedestrians at the quay.
HSE inspector Sarah Liversidge said: "The law states dutyholders must ensure the workplace is organised in such a way that pedestrians and vehicles can circulate in a safe manner. NESC failed in that undertaking."
NESC pleaded guilty to breaching Section 17(1) of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and was fined £12,000.

Q: how to write text and image to jpg file using php Hi friends I am trying to get some text and image from mysql and want to write them to jpg file in php. I mean  text and image should be merged in one jpg file. Please help if you have any suggestion. Thanks

A: You should make use of PHP's GD function library for writing text over your image. The imagettftext() is what you exactly need here.
The code snippet..
<?php
header('Content-Type: image/png');
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(400, 30);
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$grey = imagecolorallocate($im, 128, 128, 128);
$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 399, 29, $white);
$text = 'Testing...';
$font = 'arial.ttf';
imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 11, 21, $grey, $font, $text);
imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $black, $font, $text);
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);

A: <?php

/*** set the header for the image ***/
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");

/*** specify an image and text ***/
$im = writeToImage('test.jpg', 'PHPRO rules again');

/*** spit the image out the other end ***/
imagejpeg($im);

/**
 *
 * @Write text to an existing image
 *
 * @Author Kevin Waterson
 *
 * @access public
 *
 * @param string The image path
 *
 * @param string The text string
 *
 * @return resource
 *
 */
function writeToImage($imagefile, $text){
/*** make sure the file exists ***/
if(file_exists($imagefile))
    {
    /*** create image ***/
    $im = @imagecreatefromjpeg($imagefile);

    /*** create the text color ***/

As a freshman at the University of Nebraska in 2009, Burkhead played in nine games, rushing for 346 yards on 81 carries with three touchdowns. As a sophomore in 2010, Burkhead was second on the depth chart behind senior Roy Helu. Burkhead played in all 14 games as the backup, and rushed for 951 yards on 172 carries and seven touchdowns. In 2011, Burkhead took over as the starting running back as a junior. Nebraska had little experience at running back that season, and Burkhead got the majority of the carries, including a school record 38 carries against the Iowa Hawkeyes. He ended up rushing for 1,357 yards on 284 carries with 15 touchdowns and was named a first team All-Big Ten selection. In 2012, with expectations high, Burkhead sprained his knee in the season opener and missed two games before re-injuring the knee four games later. Burkhead missed six games total in the season, but still finished with five touchdowns and 675 yards on just 98 carries for a 6.9 yard average.
On September 7, on Thursday Night Football, Burkhead made his debut as a member of the Patriots. He was in the starting lineup and had three rushes for 15 yards and one reception for eight yards in the 42–27 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. On September 17, against the New Orleans Saints in Week 2, he recorded his first touchdown as a member of the Patriots when he hauled in a 19-yard pass from Tom Brady in the first quarter of the 36–20 victory. He finished the game with three receptions for 41 yards. On November 12, 2017 during week 10 against the Denver Broncos, Burkhead had 10 rushes for 36 yards, 3 receptions for 27 yards and a touchdown, and a blocked punt. He thus became the first player to both catch a touchdown pass and block a punt in the same NFL game since 1977. Burkhead finished his first season with the Patriots with 64 carries for 264 yards and 5 touchdowns and recorded 30 catches for 254 yards and 3 touchdowns. In the playoffs the Patriots defeated the Tennessee Titans in the Divisional Round without Burkhead, but Burkhead returned for the AFC Championship Game where he recorded 1 carry for 5 yards in the 24-20 victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars to reach Super Bowl LII. The Patriots lost 41-33 to the Philadelphia Eagles. Burkhead recorded 3 carries for 18 yards and caught a pass for 46 yards in the Super Bowl.
On March 14, 2018, Burkhead signed a three-year contract extension with the Patriots. In Week 3 against the Detroit Lions, Burkhead suffered a neck injury and was placed on injured reserve on September 26, 2018. He was activated off injured reserve on November 26, 2018.
On January 20, 2019 in the postseason, Burkhead scored the game-winning touchdown in overtime as part of the 2019 AFC Championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Patriots would have won on an earlier 4th quarter Burkhead rushing touchdown with 0:39 left had the Chiefs not responded with a 39 yard field goal to force overtime. The Patriots won the coin toss, which eventually set up the offense with a 1st & 10 at the Kansas City 15-yard line. Burkhead ran up the middle for 10 yards for the 1st down and another 3 yards on the next play setting up 2nd & Goal. Burkhead ran again up the middle for 2 yards for a touchdown sending the Patriots to Super Bowl LIII. Burkhead finished the game with 12 carries for 41 yards and 2 rushing TDs; he also had 4 receptions for 28 yards.
