I find this podcast to be incredibly valuable to the ski industry. Not only to me as a now consumer and recovering ex boot fitter, but also to the brands the blister team interviews. I may not need to replace my skis at the moment, but I am already planning the next purchase. I find myself skiing over more rocks looking for an excuse to upgrade. I hope companies realize that this is a great place to plug new tech and let the blisty's give fair reviews for their dedicated fan base.

Q: Go using generic slice field in struct We want to have
type ResponseListDataPayload struct {
    List     []*interface{} `json:"list"` //generic
    TotalCnt int64          `json:"totalCnt"`
    Page     int64          `json:"page"`
    Step     int64          `json:"step"`
}

and List could would accept []*model.SomeModel{}
queryResults := []*model.SomeModel{}
resposeResult := &ResponseListDataPayload{
    List:     queryResults,
    TotalCnt: cnt,
    Page:     pageInt,
    Step:     stepInt,
}

or  []*model.AnotherModel{}
queryResults := []*model.AnotherModel{}
resposeResult := &ResponseListDataPayload{
    List:     queryResults,
    TotalCnt: cnt,
    Page:     pageInt,
    Step:     stepInt,
}

That's pretty straightforward in Java, could that be possible in go?

A: In Go 1.18 you will be able to do something like, with real go generics:
func convert[S any](src []S) []interface{} {
    dst := make([]interface{}, 0, len(src))
    for _, v := range src {
        dst = append(dst, v)
    }
    return dst
}
//...
resp.List = convert(m)

But until 1.18 is out and more codebases embrace generics, you will still need to do the conversion by hand.
And like everyone said, don't use *interface{}.

A: Go 1.18
You can now have parametrized structs:
type ResponseListDataPayload[T any] struct {
    List     []T            `json:"list"` //generic
    TotalCnt int64          `json:"totalCnt"`
    Page     int64          `json:"page"`
    Step     int64          `json:"step"`
}

Remember that generic structs must be instantiated with an explicit type parameter:
queryResults := []*model.SomeModel{}
responseResult := &ResponseListDataPayload[*model.SomeModel]{
    List:     queryResults,
    // other fields
}

If you want to improve code reuse even more and "genericize" also the struct initialization, you can use a constructor function. Functions can take advantage of type inference to omit writing out the type arguments:
// add to func signature other arguments as needed
func NewResponseFor[T any](list []T) *ResponseListDataPayload[T] {
    return &ResponseListDataPayload[T]{ List: list }
}

and use it as:
queryResults := // some query results
responseResult := NewResponseFor(queryResults)

Example: https://gotipplay.golang.org/p/jYTHegaeubR

Go 1.17 and below

could that be possible in go?

No, interface{} is not actually a generic type, it's just an interface with an empty method set.
Formally, you can assign any concrete value to it because assignability requires the value's method set to be a superset of the interface method set, and any set is a superset of the empty set (∅).
It's not the same thing as a parametrized type like Java's List<T> hence in Go []Foo is not assignable to []interface{}.
You must process the single elements in a loop:
var m []*model.anotherModel
// populate m
for _, v := range m {
    resp.List = append(resp.List, v)
}

Similarly, don't use pointers to the empty interface *interface{}. Use interface{} instead.
If your goal is to just serialize JSON (based on the presence of the tags on your struct), you can declare the List field as interface{} and you'll be able to assign either of your slice values to it, for the reason stated above. Thus avoiding an extra slice manipulation. The json package will then serialize based on the concrete values boxed in the interface{}.

The Best Way To Find Aliens, According To Scientists Who Want To Make All Your 'X-Files' Dreams Come True
By Lily Feinn
It seems we are obsessed with the hunt for extraterrestrial life, just look at the reboot of The X-Files, or the fact that nearly everyday people claim to see UFOs. And if you are one of those ET buffs, then today is a good day, because two astrophysicists claim that they have discovered the best way to find aliens!
In a paper recently published in the journal Astrobiology, René Heller and Ralph Pudritz, who worked together at McMaster University in Canada, propose that our extraterrestrial "neighbors" could be trying to contact us by the same methods that we are using to search for life among the cosmos. Could it be possible that ET is sending signals our way and that we are just ignoring them? If so, Earth might as well just text the universe "New phone. Who dis?"
But wouldn't we know if we were being contacted? Wouldn't we see or hear it? Not necessarily, it turns out. The universe is vast, and there are many many possibly important life sustaining planets and moons that we can't actually see. Researchers have been using a technique called the "transit method" to identify these worlds that are too far away to be directly observed.
This method observes from Earth's perspective the shadow created by planets and moons as they pass in front of their stars on their trajectory. The Daily News explains that by "Measuring the dimming of starlight as a planet crosses the face of its star during orbit, scientists can collect a wealth of information, even without ever seeing those worlds directly." So couldn't it also be possible that aliens are tracking us as we pass in front of our sun and deem our planet able to host life?
"It's impossible to predict whether extraterrestrials use the same observational techniques as we do," the paper's lead author René Heller, who is now at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, contends, "But they will have to deal with the same physical principles as we do, and Earth's solar transits are an obvious method to detect us."
This small portion of space where Earth's "solar transitions" can be observed Heller and Pudritz deem the "transit zone." They encourage researchers and scientists to turn their attention to that slice of the heavens.
To date, approximately 100,000 stars have been identified by radio telescopes within the "transit zone." Each of these stars have the potential to be orbited by a life-sustaining planet. Space.com's prediction that we could be observed by aliens is favorable: "Observations by Kepler and other instruments suggest that every Milky Way star hosts at least one planet on average, and many of these worlds orbit in the 'habitable zone' — the range of distances from a host star where water may exist in liquid form on a planet's surface." So — hey, it could happen!
Heller and Pudritz propose that future efforts and research undertaken by the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI institute), the Breakthrough Listening Initiative, among other projects should focus on this "transit zone." They believe they have a better chance of success by narrowing the search, as they say in the paper, "If any of these planets host intelligent observers, they could have identified Earth as a habitable, even as a living world long ago and we could be receiving their broadcasts today."
So whether you are a believer or a skeptic, when you think about the enormity of the universe it seems pretty bold to think that we are the only advanced life forms floating among the stars.

Aribo set for City baptism of fire
By Peter Akinbo
Nigerian midfielder Joe Aribo is set to face a rampant Manchester City on Saturday (today) in what is arguably the toughest fixture of his first season in the English Premier League.
Southampton have failed to win any of their last 11 EPL visits to the Etihad since a 3-1 victory back in April 2004, while they have only ever won two of their 45 away league matches against the reigning topflight champions.
This time, the Cityzens are led by an in-form Erling Haaland, who has scored 19 goals in just 11 games, and will be on the hunt for more goals against the Saints, who have conceded in each of their last 18 away games.
Aribo has managed two goals in eight games in the English topflight, scoring his first in a 2-2 draw against Leeds United, while the second came when he opened the scoring as he squared off against compatriot Alex Iwobi, but Saints ultimately succumbed to a 2-1 home defeat.
Despite his two-goal tally, which is level with Nottingham Forest striker and countryman Taiwo Awoniyi's goal count and more than every other Nigerian in the EPL this season, Aribo still thinks he is below his best.
Saints vs Forest: Aribo battles Awoniyi, Dennis
Aribo rated fourth best midfielder in Premier League
Etebo, Aribo set to return
"I'd say on a personal note, I want to be more involved in the play in and around the final third, but I'm still learning and trying to improve. I want to be the best that I can be," he told the club website after his goal against Everton.
"On a personal note, I wouldn't say I have been at my best. To score [against Everton] was a good feeling, but at the end of the day, not getting a result has made it frustrating."
Aribo would be keen to be at his best against the only unbeaten side in the competition this season, and the Cityzens are also wary of the threat the Saints pose.
City dropped points in both topflight encounters against the Saints last season, playing out a rare goalless draw on home soil in September 2021, before being held 1-1 at St Mary's in January. The Cityzens did, however, secure a 4-1 FA Cup victory at St Mary's in March.
With a desperate Ralph Hasenhuttl on the brink of losing his job, and Aribo keen to help his side win points, following the bitter loss to the Toffees last weekend, including the belief in the Southampton squad after last season's goalless draw at the Etihad, if a resilient defence can keep Haaland quiet and should Aribo shine as he nearly always does in the big games, the 26-year-old and the youthful Saints may yet escape this baptism of fire unscathed.

Twitter Banning Alex Jones Is Justified
Published 6:41 am Wednesday, September 12, 2018
By Advocate-Messenger
By MICHAEL MCGRADY
InsideSources.com
Can a private corporation limit the First Amendment rights of its customers and employees? Most people when asked this question would answer: no. However, per the nature of legal precedence and the supremacy of the First Amendment, free speech protections aren't guaranteed in private settings.
Considering a recent row, social media giant Twitter has banned Alex Jones, the controversial right-wing conspiracy theorist, from using its platform. Ironically, Jones was on Capitol Hill at the same time as Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. Dorsey was testifying to the Senate Intelligence Committee on user privacy issues. CNBC reported that Dorsey took the step to ban Alex Jones from the platform due to a live-streamed video of the commentator berating a CNN reporter, among other controversial posts. Not to mention, Reuters reporters filmed Jones harassing Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida during a press gaggle not too long ago.
This action serves as Twitter's latest jab at restricting the controversial figure, and others like him, from using the social platform to propagate messages of hate. In response, Jones and his followers — backed by a growing number of conservatives — have criticized the tech giant for limiting his First Amendment rights. The Jones-Twitter row also coincides with Trump administration officials signaling moves to regulate significant tech companies such as Twitter, Facebook and Google for so-called institutional bias against conservative figures, media outlets and the presidency.
Regardless of where you stand on this particular issue, the fact that remains is that Twitter, as a private corporation, has the right to deny people access to its platform. Twitter justified the removal of Jones and his Infowars outlet as an action to address violations of the company's safe environment policies.
"We took this action based on new reports of Tweets and videos posted yesterday that violate our abusive behavior policy, in addition to the account's past violations," the company said. According to Twitter's abusive behavior policy, the company maintains the right to "prohibit behavior that crosses the line into abuse, including behavior that harasses, intimidates or uses fear to silence another user's voice."
Based on Twitter's rights as a corporation and the doctrine of freedom of association, the move to ban Jones isn't illegal. Federal positive law grants private businesses, like Twitter, the ability to deny service to customers on the grounds of safety and supporting the well-being of employees and other customers. Companies are restricted from discriminating against people of a protected class under federal law, barring adjustments to this doctrine from recent Supreme Court findings.
From an economic standpoint, Twitter acted in a self-regulatory capacity to end Jones' use of the platform for life. In the midst of rising demands from the right-wing to regulate tech companies, Twitter's actions should be viewed as an act in standing up for its corporate culture. Tech companies, in general, advocate for self-regulation and champion the causes of creating life-changing innovations.
At the end of the day, Twitter is a private corporation. It is not the government. The First Amendment protects American citizens from government censorship and expressive control. These protections also prevent governmental tyranny.
For the right-wing groups who intend to make a martyr out of Jones because of this incident, they're advocating for bigger government, real limitations on constitutional rights, and regulation of proud American companies.
Milton Friedman said it best when he posed the question: "How can we keep the government we create from becoming a Frankenstein that will destroy the very freedom we establish it to protect?"
Twitter and the tech industry are not this "Frankenstein" as these ideologues so often argue. Companies like Twitter comprise people who want to protect the integrity of their product. There is nothing wrong with that.

Is a market-hamlet, in the parish of Kennarth, hundred of Elvet, and county of Carmarthen; 234 miles from London, and 10 from Cardigan; delightfully situated on the river Tivie, which, in its abrupt yet beautiful meanderings round the town and its castle, singularly and perfectly forms the letter M.
The castle, which is seated on a promontory, is the property of the Earl of Cawdor, who derives the additional title of Viscount Emlyn therefrom; and since arriving at this dignity (in 1828), the ancient edifice has had more care bestowed, to effect its preservation. From the castle and hills in the neighbourhood, some truly beautiful views are obtained; the emininces are well planted with thriving trees, and form a rich and undulating border to the peaceful valley beneath, and which is reflected in the silver stream of the Tivie.
The trade of Newcastle is confined to the town; there are several respectable and well furnished shops, the number of which has much Increased lately, and the business attached to them appears to be thriving.
The government of the town is with the county magistrates, who have their meetings once a fortnight, at the 'Salutation', a very good Inn; the other Inn is the 'Emlyn Arms', no ways inferior in point of accommodation to its visiters; at the latter house are held the manorial courts, by W K Davies, Esquire, the steward of the Earl of Cawdor, who is the lord of the manor.
The places of worship are, a chapel of ease under Kennarth (of which the Rev John Griffiths is curate) and three meeting-houses for dissenters.
The market is held on Friday, and there are eight annual fairs, viz. the 23d of March, 22nd of June, 20th of July, 20th of August, 20th of September, the second Friday after Michaelmas-day, and the 22nd of November.
The parish of Kennarth contained, by the last parliamentary returns, 1635 inhabitants.

October 24, 2020 sidewayssammyLeave a Comment on The Wrap: Blackburn Rovers – 0-4
The Wrap: Blackburn Rovers – 0-4
As soon as Michael Rose hauled down Blackburn Rovers' Ben Brereton for a penalty and a red card in the 15th minute of this game, it was obvious that it was going to be a long afternoon for the Sky Blues.
The only thing in doubt about this game was just how many goals Blackburn Rovers fancied scoring – which proved to be four. Even with the man disadvantage, Coventry City made things too easy for the visitors at times, continuing to pass the ball out from the back, leaving space in behind, and, once again, being a little too passive against a higher-quality opponent.
The Bad Luck Of Losers
Seven games into the season and we've played five teams currently in the top-half and just two in the bottom-half. Through a combination of injury, suspension and self-isolation, Mark Robins only had 18 players available who had started a league game for us. Matt Godden missed a golden opportunity early on, then Blackburn almost immediately went up the other end, won the penalty that saw Michael Rose sent-off and took the lead from the spot.
One or two of those things happening is unfortunate, the combination of all them happening at once cannot simply be written-off as bad luck.
Part of the reason why we've faced so many sides currently in the top-half is that we've been losing games and three points has a significant effect on the league table at this stage of the campaign. Gustavo Hamer only has himself to blame for his red card, injuries are part and parcel of football, and every team in this country is likely to have to manage players missing as a result of this pandemic.
Even the red card in this game was not simply bad luck. It was the product of our inability to prevent Blackburn getting in behind us – either through putting pressure on the ball or dropping a little deeper – along with a lack of composure from Michael Rose at the sight of an opponent bearing down on goal.
Last season, we suffered our fair share of bad luck – not least, the run of injuries that contributed to Mark Robins' decision to opt for the 3-4-2-1 system that got us promoted. The difference between then and now is the reaction to unfortunate events.
It may well be a product of our relative lack of quality at this level but players are struggling to manage difficult situations, leading to poor decisions, leading to poor results. We're almost at the point where we need wins to avoid getting sucked into the relegation battle, the margin for error and room for excuses has worn down.
Every team is likely to endure bad luck. Good teams manage it, bad teams let it define them.
How Much Can Be Read Into This Defeat?
It's fair to say to that we didn't cope well with going down to ten men. Blackburn were already looking to press us high up the pitch, having an extra man gave them that additional willingness and ability to exert pressure on us. For ourselves, we barely did anything to adapt to the change in the dynamic of the game, continuing to pass out from the back, which fed right into Blackburn's hands.
It was apparent at times here that we weren't prepared to play with a back four. The full-backs left too much space between themselves and the centre-backs, which Blackburn's front three constantly made use of. In addition, Kyle McFadzean was too proactive in pushing up to try and win the ball, leaving space behind him that contributed to each of three goals we conceded in the second-half. However, we're probably unlikely to switch to a back four any time soon.
The substitutions after Blackburn's second goals reflected that the game was no longer being treated as competitive by Mark Robins. Matt Godden and Sam McCallum were clearly being rested ahead of Tuesday night's game against Middlesbrough, while I doubt that outcast, Gervane Kastaneer, will be used in much meaningful action this season. There was no way we were getting back in the game from two goals and a man down, there was no reason to put much effort in an attempt at a comeback.
You would hope that there aren't going to be many more games this season where we're going to have to deal with being down to ten men with the majority of the game to play. That said, the number of sloppy mistakes and the lack of quality on show at times here was disheartening.
If there is nothing to read into this game, the players must demonstrate that with a positive performance – and result – in our next game. The concern is that this defeat at a stage of the season where the league table is starting to take shape could define us.
Why The Short Passing?
The most infuriating thing about this display was the manner in which we constantly played ourselves under pressure against Blackburn's press once we were a man down. It belied a lack of adaptability, perhaps even character, from our players that they robotically followed what must have been the main plan regardless of the change in circumstances.
Taking a step back though, the problem with changing the approach is that we don't have forwards who can reliably win long balls. Furthermore, with our wide threat coming from our wing-backs, they need time to get up the pitch to support our attacking threat. If the ball goes long, it leaves them with a lot of running to do without the guarantee that they'll be able to get involved in the play.
Perhaps Mark Robins should have been more proactive in changing things up from the bench, even if meant taking a player off before half-time. Any one of the front three could and perhaps to allow for a change in shape that could have allowed us to play over Blackburn's press, or at least mitigate the threat of them getting in behind us. However, it's hard to argue that there was game-changing quality among our substitutes.
This short passing approach has been what has taken us into the Championship and the danger is that if we abandon it – even for specific in-game circumstances – that we get into habits that don't suit the set of players that we have. It's hard to see the system, style or individual quality that we aren't currently utilising that would immediately make this team a mid-table Championship side.
The time may come soon for Mark Robins to try doing things a little differently but changing things up comes with the likelihood that it will take time to hone and convert into results. The decision rests on how much the manager believes what we're currently doing will benefit us in the long-run, even if it leads to painful short-term experiences like this one.

De (autor) Cass R Sunstein, Reid Hastie
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 06 Jan 2015
Why are group decisions so hard?
Since the beginning of human history, people have made decisions in groups—first in families and villages, and now as part of companies, governments, school boards, religious organizations, or any one of countless other groups. And having more than one person to help decide is good because the group benefits from the collective knowledge of all of its members, and this results in better decisions. Right?
Back to reality. We've all been involved in group decisions—and they're hard. And they often turn out badly. Why? Many blame bad decisions on "groupthink" without a clear idea of what that term really means.
Now, Nudge coauthor Cass Sunstein and leading decision-making scholar Reid Hastie shed light on the specifics of why and how group decisions go wrong—and offer tactics and lessons to help leaders avoid the pitfalls and reach better outcomes. In the first part of the book, they explain in clear and fascinating detail the distinct problems groups run into:
• They often amplify, rather than correct, individual errors in judgment
• They fall victim to cascade effects, as members follow what others say or do
• They become polarized, adopting more extreme positions than the ones they began with
• They emphasize what everybody knows instead of focusing on critical information that only a few people know
In the second part of the book, the authors turn to straightforward methods and advice for making groups smarter. These approaches include silencing the leader so that the views of other group members can surface, rethinking rewards and incentives to encourage people to reveal their own knowledge, thoughtfully assigning roles that are aligned with people's unique strengths, and more.
With examples from a broad range of organizations—from Google to the CIA—and written in an engaging and witty style, Wiser will not only enlighten you; it will help your team and your organization make better decisions—decisions that lead to greater success.

"Just because collective groupthink in business and public life decision-making is the prevalent paradigm, doesn't mean it's the right way to go. Discuss." — Qantas The Australian Way
"[Wiser] sheds light on the specifics of why and how group decisions go wrong, and share insights into how leaders can avoid the pitfalls and reach better outcomes....With examples from a broad range of organisations from Google to the CIA, Wiser is designed to help leaders and their teams make better decisions that lead to greater success." — Inside HR
ADVANCE PRAISE for Wiser:
Lawrence Summers, Secretary of the Treasury under President Clinton; Director of the National Economic Council under President Obama—
"No man is an island, and all important decisions are made collectively. This important book shows how they can be made better and so will make groups, crowds, and our society wiser and better. Anyone involved in making decisions that matter should read this book."
John Engler, President, Business Roundtable—
"Drawing on academic research, real-world examples, and, in Sunstein's case, White House experience, the authors identify the most common mistakes groups fall victim to and offer sensible ways to avoid those often-expensive errors. In Sunstein and Hastie's recommendations, CEOs and managers alike will find much that leaves them, in a word, wiser."
Claire Shipman, Correspondent, ABC's Good Morning America; Author, The Confidence Code—
"More minds aren't always better, according to Cass Sunstein and Reid Hastie. In Wiser, they deftly lay out the unexpected perils of group decision making and provide smart, straightforward, and often surprising fixes. Utterly fascinating and counterintuitive, this book is an essential read for executives and managers—for anybody, actually, hoping to make an enterprise successful."
Austan Goolsbee, Professor, University of Chicago Booth School of Business; former Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Obama—
"There have been lots of books written on why and how individuals make bad decisions. But many of the most important decisions are made by committee, where normal problems get magnified.

Self-reliance and musical integrity are two principles to which Dying Fetus have always lived by. The band formed in 1991, during the height of the death metal explosion of the early years of the '90s, and have matured into one of the premiere extreme death metal/grind-core acts to ever come out of the massive global metal underground. The band is recognized worldwide as a prime example of songwriting perfection, combining an innovative mix of technical virtuosity and catchy song structures to create the ultimate blend of death metal, hardcore, and grindcore. Intensity unparalleled, and musical power unrivaled, they are the leaders of the new generation in extreme music. Their sounds and lyrics are a brutal response to the everyday stress and pressures of reality in our age, but also provide the ultimate escape from it, through their music.
1995-First album (a compilation of the bands demo material from 93-94) "Infatuation With Malevolence" self-released, promoted and distributed. Dying Fetus tours the East Coast, performs and represents death metal as a genre on a panel at the CMJ music convention, Lincoln Center, NY.
1996-Second album "Purification Through Violence" released simultaneously in America on Pulverizer Records and in Europe on Diehard Music Worldwide. Dying Fetus embarks on first North American tour, hitting 25 cities with Canada's Kataklysm and Florida's Monstrosity in July and August.
1998-Third album "Killing on Adrenaline" released worldwide simultaneously on Germany's Morbid Records and in the USA through the band's own label, BLUNT FORCE Records. Dying Fetus embarks on unprecedented 9 week, 52 date North American/European tour, hitting 12 countries from Denmark to Spain and Belgium to Poland. Dozens of festivals and promotional undertakings performed, including co/headlining shows such as the Milwaukee Metalfest, Montreal Metalfest, German Morbid Metalfest, Ohio Deathfest, and the Superbowl of Hardcore. Dying Fetus has also appeared in hundreds of national and international magazines, and has performed hundreds of interviews in the international press. In addition, the band has also appeared on dozens of compilation cds, and consistently does radio and internet promotional activities in coordination with mailorder and distribution.
1999-Dying Fetus reissues the out of print "Infatuation with Malevolence" with extra tracks. The new version of the 93-94 demo collection contains 3 live songs from Germany recorded on the 1998 European tour, as well as one demo track not included on the previous edition of the cd. In addition to this, it has new artwork and is available exclusively from the band via their own label, Blunt Force Records.
2000-The latest release from Dying Fetus is a 6 song EP entitled "Grotesque Impalement". This is available in both cd and limited 12inch vinyl versions. The band again plays festivals such as the New England Hardcore and Metalfest, and the March Metal Meltdown II. DF also returns to Europe and plays in Germany, Belgium, and the Czech Republic. Included in this trip was a headlining spot at the Fuck The Commerce Fest III in Germany. The band will hit the road till the end of 2000, including tours in support of Destruction and Vader. The new album "Destroy the Opposition" will be available in September 2000 through Relapse Records, which will have eight new tracks done in the DF way. In December of 2000 Dying Fetus hits Europe once again with Morbid Angel, Enslaved, The Crown, Behemoth and Hypnos as part of the annual X-Mass tour.
2001- Dying Fetus does tours with All Out War, Diecast, Skinless, Gorguts, The Berserker, and others in support of Destroy the Opposition. Also band lineup changes occur as Jason, Sparky, and Kevin all leave band and Dying Fetus reforms under current lineup for summer tours and a new single recorded entitled "Vengeance Unleashed."

As an effort to battle against credit card fraud case globally, there are various methods being used so that the security and authentication can be enhanced without causing unnecessary inconvenience to users. Just recently, Visa has put in place a field testing to verify the new security technology, known as Emue Card before certifying it for commercial use.
On top of existing security features that being deployed by most of the credit card companies, the new Emue Card features an additional four-digit security code that will be changed each and every time the card is used. In order to read the four-digit code to complete the transaction, users would need to enter the secret pin as an extra protection to prevent unauthorized use by third parties, that makes the whole transaction more secure than current practice.
Before it can be practically made available to public, there are a number of technical road blocks that need to be cleared such as convenience of usage, reliability and compatibility to existing systems and many more. The Emue card is currently on field trial conducted by 500 Deloitte employees and hopefully it will get certified and eventually rolled out to all credit card companies and retailed merchandises globally.

William also represented the family of one of the three employees killed in the explosion at the ConAgra plant in Garner in the wrongful death case against the engineering firm that oversaw the installation of the gas hot water heater that exploded. William has also represented many victims of drunken driving collisions.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (IDW)
Power Rangers and Ninja Turtles Comic Crossover Announced
Morphin' Time and Pizza Time just had a scheduling conflict.
byJesse Schedeen
Two teams of colorful teenage ninja superheroes will be joining forces, as BOOM! Studios has revealed a new crossover project called Might Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
As reported by ComicBook.com, this five-issue miniseries features a creative team full of Power Rangers veterans, including writer Ryan Parrott, artist Simone di Meo and cover artist Dan Mora. Additionally, artist Goni Montes will continue his series of Ranger helmet-themed variant covers with a new set that mashes together the iconic Power Rangers and TMNT designs.

The series is set during the point in Power Rangers continuity when Tommy is the Green Ranger. For some reason, Tommy betrays his friends and forms an alliance with Shredder, forcing the rest of the Rangers to join forces with the Heroes in a Half Shell.
"Honestly, I'm pretty certain keeping this project a secret has taken years off my life. These two iconic franchises were my TV parents, each teaching me valuable life lessons thirty minutes at a time. The Power Rangers and the Ninja Turtles are too insanely awesome not to bring together. I mean, they're both color-coded teenage martial artists who fight monsters! It just makes too much sense!" Parrott told ComicBook.com.
Parrott continued, "A huge thank you to Hasbro and Nickelodeon for letting me play with so many of their wonderful toys, as it is truly an honor to be a part of such an exciting crossover. I'm the luckiest kid in the world, and I cannot wait for you all to see what we've been putting together."
This won't be the first time these two teams have crossed paths. The Power Rangers in Space episode "Shell Shocked" served as a crossover with fellow Saban Entertainment series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation. However, this is the first time fans will see the classic Mighty Morphin team cross paths with the Turtles.
Look for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 to be released on December 6.
In other surprising Power Rangers news, it seems Hasbro is developing another live-action movie, but one that reboots the series again rather than following up on 2017's Power Rangers.

The Wizard of Malta est un court métrage réalisé en 1981 par Alex Roshuk mais entièrement scénarisé et imaginé par l'artiste américain . Ce film est un travail d'art, plus précisément un collage de longs métrages hollywoodiens des années 1930 à 1960, dont fait notamment partie Le Faucon maltais de John Huston mais aussi Le Magicien d'Oz de Victor Fleming et Psychose d'Alfred Hitchcock, avec un scénario original. Douglas Davis, en rendant hommage à sa manière aux classiques du cinéma américain, se questionne sur la combinaison du passé et du récent dans l'art. L'actrice Diane Keaton a consenti à prêter sa voix pour la narration du court métrage.

Technique de projection
The Wizard of Malta utilise une technique appelée  qui combine des performances d'acteurs au premier plan avec des images d'arrière-plan pré-filmées. La volonté de Douglas Davis était de se baser sur les « classiques » du cinéma américain et d'en extraire quelques scènes. Ensuite, ses « acteurs », tels que Diane Keaton, lisaient le scénario original de Davis devant un écran blanc sur lequel était projeté les extraits afin que cela donne l'impression qu'ils jouent dans ces vieux films. Cette technique a pour but renforcer la théorie du postmodernisme qui dit qu'en combinant l'ancien et le nouveau, on peut avoir une nouvelle vision sur l'évolution de la culture et de l'art. La première projection du court métrage a eu lieu au  de New York.

Q: Uniqueness of Volterra Integral Equation in Interval Let $k(x,t,z)$ be continuous for $0 \leq t \leq x \leq a$, $-\infty < z < \infty$ and satisfy a Lipschitz condition with respect to $z$ and let $h(x)$ be continuous for $0 \leq x \leq a$. Show that the Volterra Integral Equation $u(x) = h(x) + \int^{x}_{0} k(x,t,u(t))dt$ has exactly one continuous solution in $0 \leq x \leq a$.
I know that this is an application of Banach Fixed Point Theorem, just need some guidance on how to apply it directly to this problem.

Amazon to sell cars online?
Sean Szymkowski June 14, 2017 Comment Now!
Amazon has effectively changed the way consumers shop for many goods. What started as a place to purchase books has become an entertainment hub, a grocery store, and a place to score deals on some of the hottest tech gadgets. Now, it may be about to replace car dealerships.
A report from Automobilwoche claims Amazon plans to begin selling cars online. Sources say the online retailer has been building its new unit behind the scenes to eventually launch its assault on the traditional dealership network model.
"(Amazon) has been luring experts with fat pay packages for some time," an automotive consultant told the German publication.
Amazon Vehicles
And don't forget that Amazon has already launched its Amazon Vehicles database which lists data for popular vehicles and user reviews. Adding a buying process and sorting out a network of service centers would be the next step. A partnership with a third-party network or even the manufacturer's own service centers would be the most likely outcome.
The German report states Amazon will first begin its service in the United Kingdom and will be run from Luxembourg. It's unclear how quickly the service may expand, but it will likely depend on the degree of success found in the U.K.
Amazon declined to comment on the matter directly, but the idea isn't so far-fetched. Various automakers are starting to embrace the Internet in an effort to streamline the car buying process, though buyers ultimately have to show up in person at a dealership eventually. How Amazon approaches the idea of car buying will be interesting to watch.

Alternative fall break to assist county affected by flooding
By Lindsay Perrelli — Contributing Writer
A group of Ithaca College students has signed up to spend its fall break helping restore homes lost to Hurricane Irene in Prattsville, N.Y.
Gannon said the town needs a lot of help rebuilding.
The Scoharie County town was devastated by the flood in August, losing 40 to 50 percent of its homes.
As a result of the destruction, the Huntersfield Christian Training Center in Prattsville asked students from the college to help restore the 130 homes that were lost.
This is the first time the college's Office of Student Engagement and Multicultural Affairs is offering the opportunity for students to participate in community service over fall break, from Oct. 20 to 23.
Don Austin, assistant director of Community Service and Leadership Development at the college, said they want to bring six students on the trip to assist with construction.
The cost of the program will be broken up into payments of $15 a day, Austin said, which amounts to $60 at the end of the trip. He said this will cover transportation, three meals per day, work materials and housing in HCTC's retreat center.
"Students have the opportunity to do this at an extremely, almost unheard of, low cost," he said. "It will be a very eye-opening experience."
Throughout the weekend, volunteers will remove mud from basements and spray-and-pressure wash them to prevent the spread of mold.
Junior Charis Tse, who was not planning to go home for fall break, said she signed up for the trip because she wanted to do something more productive with her vacation.
"I think this is a really good opportunity, considering it isn't just a one day thing," she said. "I've never went to a volunteer trip where I've spent a couple days, and I was really excited to know that there was something offered here like that. I hope I can help the community."
Because of the help from local volunteers and the group from the college, people who don't have flood insurance or family in the area could have a place to go during the winter season for shelter.
Kelly Gannon '11, assistant coach for the college's women's soccer team, said she fully supports the program. Though she is not participating in the trip, she lives close to Prattsville, and said she understands the significant damage that occurred.
"If somebody has organized something to go there and help out that's great," she said. "If students are going to help out, that's great to hear because they need as much help as they can get."
Tracy Gockel, volunteer sign-up coordinator for HCTC, said she wants students to take initiative to get involved with the program.
"We expect it to be a year or more process," she said. "We welcome all the volunteers that we can get. We encourage people to come."

Have you ever wondered what The Legend of Zelda would look like if Studio Ghibli had access to it? No? Well now you will wonder why you never thought about it.
Seriously, I never thought about what it would look like to the point that I always imagined it would be CGI or live action if it ever was made. Artist, Matt Vince has given me a reason to think of it now as a Ghibli film and realize it might be the best route for it with all the fantastical things going on in the games.
Click the thumbnails below to check out the posters featuring Ganondorf, Link, and Zelda. They all seem to be facing Death Mountain from a different direction (Gerudo Desert, Kokiri Forest, and Hyrule Castle) which keeps a very distinct focus for the poster and a possible idea that the mountain holds a special focus in the story.
