Q: error in before method in Calendar class in Java I working with Calendar class in java and found that there is a bug in "after" and " getTimeInMillis" methods. these methods work correctly for always all calendar but some special calendar they have problem.
My test code is :
   Calendar c1 = Calendar.getInstance();
   Calendar c2 = Calendar.getInstance();
   c1.set(2006, 5, 31, 22, 0, 0);
   c2.set(2006, 6, 1, 1, 0, 0);
   if (c1.after(c2))
       System.out.println("c1 is after c2.");
   if (c1.getTimeInMillis()>c2.getTimeInMillis())
       System.out.println("c1 in mimisecond is greater than c2");

although c1 is before c2 but my code print:
c1 is after c2.
c1 in mimisecond is greater than c2
What is the problem? How can I resolve it?
I use Java NetBeans 7.1 IDE and  JDK 1.7.

A: Since there are only 30 days in June (5 corresponds to June, since the numbering of months start at 0), they point to the same day. Therefore c1 is in fact a later date than c2.
To avoid this confusion, you could use the constants in the Calendar class:
c1.set(2006, Calendar.MAY, 31, 22, 0, 0);
c2.set(2006, Calendar.JUNE, 1, 1, 0, 0);

Q: acceder a un diccionario para modificar su valor en python Tengo un método que recibe un diccionario y quiero acceder a su valor para modificarlo con un descuento y quiero que devuelva la cesta con los valores modificados ¿alguna sugerencia?
def add_disccount(cesta):
    descuento = float(input("Introduce el valor del descuento: "))
    for i in range(len(cesta)):
        cesta[i].values() = (cesta[i].values()*descuento/100) - cesta[i].values()
    return cesta

A: Puedes usar una comprensión de diccionarios:
descuento = float(input("Introduce el valor del descuento: "))
factor = 1 - descuento / 100
cesta = {llave: valor * factor for llave, valor in cesta.items()}

La comprensión de diccionarios usa {} para encerrar la expresión generadora. Lo primero que escribes son la llave y el valor, separados por :. En este caso, tenemos:
llave: valor * factor

que agrega una entrada con llave y valor valor * factor. Ambos provienen de
for llave, valor in cesta.items()

Demo
cesta = {'pan': 100, 'aceite': 200, 'azucar': 150}
descuento = float(input("Introduce el valor del descuento: "))
factor = 1 - descuento / 100
cesta = {llave: valor * factor for llave, valor in cesta.items()}
print(cesta)

produce:
Introduce el valor del descuento: 5
{'pan': 95.0, 'aceite': 190.0, 'azucar': 142.5}

Process finished with exit code 0

A: ¿Quieres algo parecido a esto?

The United States Bridge Federation (USBF) is the national federation for contract bridge in the United States and a non-profit organization formed by the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) and the American Bridge Association (ABA) in 2001 to hold the United States Bridge Championships and to select, train, and support Open, Women, Senior and Junior teams to represent the United States in international competition.

The USBF receives support for its teams from the ACBL International Fund and Junior Fund, its membership dues, contributions and entry fees for the USBCs.

Organization
2018 officers.
 President: Marty Fleisher
 Vice President: Josh Parker
 CFO: Stan Subeck
 Secretary & COO: Jan Martel

The President and the Vice President are elected for 2-year terms.

Olympic recognition

Originally, the USBF was also created to support the World Bridge Federation (WBF) efforts to obtain Olympic recognition for bridge. Following August 2002 recommendations by the Olympic Programme Commission, bridge and chess were  recognized as "mind sports" by the International Olympic Committee but they were not found eligible for the main Olympic program.

On April 19, 2005, three years after that negative Commission report and three years before the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing whose program was its focus, four mind sports including bridge and chess established the International Mind Sports Association with primary purpose to organize quadrennial World Mind Sports Games approximately alongside the Olympics.  The inaugural, 2008 World Mind Sports Games were held in Beijing during October, two months after the Summer Olympics and using the same facilities. The second, 2012 WMSG were held in Lille, France, entirely unassociated with the London Summer Olympics—smaller than in 2008, with a much smaller bridge program including no individuals, pairs, or youth events.

Spike is an anti-tank guided missile and anti-personnel missile with a tandem-charged HEAT warhead, developed and designed by the Israeli company Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and in service with a number of nations.
As well as engaging and destroying targets within the line-of-sight of the launcher ("fire-and-forget"), some variants of the missile are capable of making a top-attack profile through a "fire, observe and update" guidance method; the operator tracking the target, or switching to another target, optically through the trailing fiber-optic wire while the missile is climbing to altitude after launch. This is similar to the lofted trajectory flight profile of the US FGM-148 Javelin.
Cut away diagram of Spike ATGM.

Spike is a fire-and-forget missile with lock-on before launch and automatic self-guidance. The missile is equipped with an imaging infrared seeker.
The medium, long and extended range versions of the Spike also have the capability of "Fire, Observe and Update" operating mode. The missile is connected by a fiber-optical wire that is spooled out between the launch position and the missile. With this the operator can obtain a target if it is not in the line of sight of the operator at launch, switch targets in flight, or compensate for the movement of the target if the missile is not tracking the target for some reason. Hence, the missile can be fired speculatively for a target of opportunity, or to provide observation on the other side of an obstacle. The missile has a soft launch capability – the motor firing after the missile has left the launcher – which allows for the missile to be fired from confined spaces, which is a necessity in urban warfare.
The missile uses a tandem warhead – two shaped charges, a precursor warhead to detonate any explosive reactive armor and a primary warhead to penetrate the underlying armor. Currently, it is replacing aging second generation anti-tank missiles like the MILAN and M47 Dragon in the armies of the user nations.
The Spike system is made up of the launching tripod with its fire control unit and the missile. There is no dedicated thermal sight on the launcher – the missile's imaging seeker is used. Altogether, the long range variant of the system weighs around 26 kilograms (57 lb).
Spike can be operated from the launcher by infantry, or from mounts that can be fitted to vehicles such as fast attack vehicles, armored personnel carriers or utility vehicles. Vehicles that are not normally fitted with anti-tank weapons can therefore be given anti-tank capability.
Spike has been tested as a weapon system for the SAGEM Sperwer unmanned aerial vehicle. The Spanish Army has fitted the Spike-ER to its Eurocopter Tiger attack helicopters. Both Israel and the United States have experimented with arming Black Hawk helicopters with the Spike missile; the US variant is called UH-60M Battlehawk.
In order to facilitate the selling of the weapon system in Europe, the company EuroSpike GmbH was formed in Germany. Its shareholders Diehl BGT Defence (40%), Rheinmetall Defence Electronics (40%) and Rafael via ERCAS B.V (20%). ERCAS B.V. is a Dutch holding company owned 100% by Rafael. EuroSpike GmbH is located in Röthenbach, Germany. The European variant of the Spike weapon system differs a little from the Israeli version and is marketed under the name EuroSpike.
For other areas of the world, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. is solely responsible.
The reusable Command & launch unit (CLU), battery, tripod and the thermal sight are common across all land-based versions (with the exception of Spike NLOS) of the Spike missile family, each weighing 5 kg (11 lb 0 oz), 1 kg (2 lb 3 oz), 2.8 kg (6 lb 3 oz), and 4 kg (8 lb 13 oz) respectively.
the short range version of the weapon, is a single shot, fire and forget, disposable weapon. It is a 9 kg weapon whose minimum range is 50 m (160 ft) while the maximum range is 800 m (2,600 ft). It is equipped with a uncooled thermal seeker. A low cost display attached to the missile case allows the missile's seeker to be used as an aim sight (which allows the user to dispense with the heavier and more capable CLU). The missile is capable of 'Fire from enclosure' which makes it suitable for use in urban environments. The warhead is a tandem charge design allowing the missile to defeat ERA or APS systems.
the medium range version. The weight of the missile is 14 kg (30 lb 14 oz), minimum range is 200 m (660 ft) while the maximum range is 2,500 m (8,200 ft) and is used by infantry and special forces.
long range version. The weight of the missile is 14 kg (30 lb 14 oz), and the weight of the complete system is less than 45 kg (99 lb 3 oz). Maximum range is 4,000 m (13,000 ft) and it is used by infantry and light combat vehicles. It adds fiber-optic communication to and from the launching soldier during flight. Reported armour penetration capability is more than 700 mm (28 in) of Rolled homogeneous armour (RHA).
extended range or extra long range version of the weapon. It was formerly also known as the NT-Dandy or NT-D. It has a maximum range of 8,000 m (26,000 ft). It has a larger diameter and is heavier than the other systems, and is usually vehicle mounted. It is used by infantry, Light Combat Vehicle (LCVs), and helicopters. The Finnish Navy's Coastal Jaegers also operate the version in the anti-ship role. The weight of the missile is 34 kg (74 lb 15 oz), the launchers are 30 kg (66 lb 2 oz) and 55 kg (121 lb 4 oz) respectively for the vehicle and air-launched versions. Penetration is around 1,000 mm (39 in) of RHA.
"Non Line Of Sight" is an ultra long range version of the weapon with a claimed maximum range of up to 25 km (16 mi). It is larger missile with an overall weight of around 70 kg (154 lb 5 oz) and can be launched from the ground or from helicopters. It was developed following lessons learned in the Yom Kippur War which showed a need for a high-precision guided tactical ground-to-ground battlefield missile. Codenamed Tamuz (תמוז), the first variants entered service with the IDF in 1981, though this was not revealed to the public until 2011. In a deal concluded on 6 September 2011, the South Korean government has agreed to purchase an unknown number of Spike NLOS missiles.
On 2 September 2009, at an IDF exhibition held at the 3rd Latrun annual land warfare conference, the Israeli Defense Force unveiled a new member of the Spike family of missiles – the Mini Spike Anti-personnel guided weapon (APGW). Rafael claims that this latest member of the Spike family of missile costs and weighs only a third of the Spike-LR, while offering a longer engagement range of 1.3 km (0.81 mi) when compared to the Spike-SR.

Croatia has reportedly ordered about 30–60 Spike launchers for its Patria AMV armored vehicles. However, Croatia might opt for Javelin launchers as the new Kongsberg 30 mm Turret for Patria is fitted with Javelin launchers and not Spike. Croatia has indicated a requirement for 48 launchers as part of the Patria program with the first 16 being delivered by 2015 and remaining launchers after that.
Total 244 missiles, delivered October 2009.

Total 4,000 Spike-LR missiles, 311 LR launchers on Puma vehicles.
Defense News reported that the Indian Army wanted to order Spike missiles and peripheral equipment in a $1 billion deal. Indian Ministry of Defence officials told the magazine that the order is for 321 launchers, 8,356 missiles, 15 training simulators, and peripheral equipment. In October 2014, India chose to buy the Spike over the U.S. Javelin.
The Spike NLOS was introduced into service in the early 1980s.
In 1997, the Spike MR (Gil), LR (Gomed), ER (Perakh Bar) with associated launchers entered service.
first contract for Italian Army was in 2003 for 53,6 million Euros: 53 launchers and 510 missile (165 of which 165 MR); second contract in 2009, 120 million Euros: 90 launchers (84 for Italian Army, 6 for Italian Navy) and 990 missile LR, of which 110 for Navy: inside 21 launchers for the VTLM Lince, 20 LR launchers for the Dardo IFV, 28 indoor and 39 outdoor training systems. 36 LR launchers with unknown number LR/ER missiles was inside the 2006's contract for the IVECO 8X8 Freccia. In 2010 Italian Army buys 800 Spike ER for 63 millions Euro, to update AW-129 Mangusta, in delivering since 2010 to 2014 (SIPRI 2013). Is expected almost another batch for 175 launchers and 2.002 missiles.

Spike MR/LR has been in operational use in the Slovenian Armed Forces since 2009. Total 75 missiles. Some will be on Patria AMVs.
A South Korean government deal concluded on 6 September 2011 has confirmed the procurement of unspecified numbers of Spike NLOS, of which about 50 missiles will be forward deployed to the South Korean islands of Baengnyeong and Yeonpyeong, close to the Northern Limit Line with North Korea. On 19 May 2013 the South Korean military confirmed that "dozens" of Spike missiles had been deployed on the islands. The Republic of Korea Navy will also deploy the Spike NLOS on AgustaWestland AW159 Wildcat helicopters.
Total 2,800 missiles, breakdown being 2,600 Spike-LR with remaining 200 being Spike-ER. 236 Spike LR launchers (option for 100 more), 2,360 missiles for Spanish army, 24 Spike LR launchers and 240 missiles for Spanish marines. Spike ER on Eurocopter Tiger attack helicopters (Spanish army).
14 M113s equipped with Spike NLOS launchers, under the codename of 'Exactor'. Operated by the British Army during the Iraq War and War in Afghanistan.
In February 2006, the Czech Republic selected the Spike-ER as part of a package to arm its newly ordered Pandur II vehicles. A total of 234 Pandur II were ordered at a cost of $1.02 billion with delivery in 2007–2010. A portion of the fleet was supposed to be fitted with the Samson Remote Controlled Weapon Station which has provisions for the Spike missile launcher. In December 2007, the Czech government canceled the program, so presumably the missile order will be canceled as well.
Spike is a contender along with Javelin.
Spike-MR is a contender along with Javelin.
In January 1998, a partnership arrangement was announced between Israeli Aerospace Industries and Kamov to market the Kamov Ka-50-2 attack helicopter in Turkish competition. One of the optional armaments being offered for the Ka-50-2 was the Spike-ER missile. Eventually Ka-50-2 lost to TAI/AgustaWestland T-129. Turkey has also examined the use of Rafael Overhead Weapon Station with Spike for its Otokar Cobra light armored vehicles.
In February 2001, the British MoD awarded two contracts valued at $8.8 million for a yearlong assessment of the Javelin and Spike-MR. The Spike was being offered by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems teamed with Matra/BAe Dynamics while the Javelin by a team of Lockheed Martin and Raytheon. The UK would like to field a lightweight antitank missile system for its Joint Rapid Reaction Force by 2005. In February 2003, the British MoD selected the Javelin.
The Spike was offered by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems as a possible contender in the US Army JAWS missile program in 1996, now called FOTT (Follow-On-To-TOW). The offer was rejected but there have been suggestions that the missile might be tested as part of US Foreign Comparative Trials. Spike has also been test fired from an unmanned surface vessel precision engagement module (USV PEM) operated by the US Navy as part of a project to evaluate unmanned surface combat capabilities.

EOS is experiencing a full-blown constitutional crisis.
EOS was envisioned by its founders as a " holistic blueprint for a globally scalable blockchain society" governed by a written constitution. It completed its launch just two weeks ago, but disputes over stolen private keys immediately tested the viability of EOS' governance structures – in particular, the EOS Core Arbitration Forum (ECAF), a body meant to settle disputes among network participants.
The ECAF drew criticism for ordering that 27 EOS addresses be frozen by the block producers who maintain the ledger. It then drew additional criticism when a fake ECAF order circulated, making it clear the off-chain process was vulnerable to even the most amateurish spoofing attacks.
On Tuesday, Block.one CTO Dan Larimer said he'd had enough. He wrote on Telegram that "damage to [the] community from ECAF is greater than funds we hope to restore to users" and said he'd clarify his thoughts in a blog post, which was published Wednesday.
That post turned out to be a "proposed EOS constitution referendum," though, in fact, his goal was a complete replacement of the old document with a new set of rules.
It suggests "ending all protocol-level arbitration orders other than to render non-binding opinions on the intent of the code," but leaves room for ECAF and, in principle, competing arbitration forums – when all parties in a contract agree to be bound by the decision ahead of time.
Those agreements and any code implementing them, however, would be at the application layer.
For Ferdous Bhai, founder of 21MIL, which runs a (non-validating) block producer though the cryptocurrency exchange ChainRift, told CoinDesk that Block.one's proposed constitution is "a huge improvement over the original one," but still unenforceable.
The community is likely to vote on the new constitution soon, though a number of questions and concerns need to be addressed . These range from the risk of potential vote-buying to the way Block.one will allocate its votes, as well as the technical capacity to hold a referendum (which may not yet be fully in place).

In the Market for Some Interviews: A Recap from Last Week
An overview of my three days on Janet Parshall's show, 'In the Market'.
Image: Moody Radio Network/Ed Stetzer
Last week, I had the pleasure of guest hosting In the Market with Janet Parshall, a show on the Moody Radio Network. Janet was out of town July 1st through July 3rd, and I was the B team there to help! For those who don't know about the show, their stated mission is to challenge listeners to examine major news stories and current issues being debated in the marketplace of ideas using the Word of God as a framework for discussion.
The show airs two hours every weekday, with one hour segments or episodes, so I actually wound up hosting six episodes in all. It was an exciting change of pace from my own show, Ed Stetzer Live. It was a joy to work with Janet's team, and I had a stellar line-up of guests to discuss some very relevant topics.
Below, I've listed the segments and provided links to the episodes.
Segment 1: A Life of Purpose
To kick off day one, I invited Rick Warren, founder of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California, to explore questions like, "What it is like to live a life driven by purpose?" and "How would purpose change the way you make decisions and how you related to others in your life?"
Segment 2: Studying the Bible and Handling Anxiety
Immediately following Rick, I was joined on the air by best-selling Bible study author Beth Moore to explore two topics: studying the Bible and then some from Beth's resource on anxiety. Anxiety seems rampant, especially in America, and the power of it to debilitate us can be overwhelming. Beth helped shed some light on this common struggle and reminded us that the Lord holds the peace of mind we all seek.
Segment 1: A Cup of Cold Water
Joining me for the first segment of day two was President of World Relief, Scott Arbeiter. In this episode, we discussed what it is like to be on the front lines of the growing refugee crisis—a very timely discussion given the immigration crisis on our southern border. We gave serious consideration to the role of Christians in this humanitarian crisis and how God's people are called to make his love known in the midst of it.
Segment 2: Miracles and More
Next up was the one and only Lee Strobel, a New York Times best-selling author known for his books, The Case for Christ, The Case for Faith and The Case for a Creator. We talked about miracles—what they are, if they exist, if they still happen, and more. It was a fascinating discussionfull of personal anecdotes and research.
Segment 1: Spreading the Message
Evangelism is arguably the single most important command that God has given his people—and also one of the hardest to obey. To explore to vital piece of the Christian walk, I invited my friends Alan Hirsch, founder of 100Movements, and Wheaton professor Dr. Rick Richardson to the show. They both recently published books on the subject (both released at our Amplify Conference), and we used their knowledge to help us understand how to reach the seemingly "unreachable" around us.
Segment 2: The Marriage Knot
To close out my three-day run, I decided to discuss the blessings and challenges of marriage with my friends, Ron and Jodi Zappia, founders of High Point Church in Chicagoland and co-authors of The Marriage Knot. They turned their failing marriage into one of power and purpose when they discovered Christ, and through the years they have uncovered the core principles necessary to have a strong, vibrant and successful marriage.
Finally, looking ahead, you can join me for my show, Ed Stetzer Live, this Saturday at 11a.m. CT, across the Moody Radio Network. I will be talking about the church, race, and the gospel with Jamar Tisby. We will be discussing his new book, The Color of Compromise.

It is in one's best interest to know all of your options prior to making a bet. The straight bet is more of a long term type of wager. You are not going to stand up the major dough right away but over the years, it will add up. The parlay bet is more of hope for larger payouts quicker. These are more of a weekly guess. The teaser bet may be utilised in a number of ways. You won't ever earn a ton on teasers because the payouts are lower but they are a great way of"hedging" your bet. "Hedging" will be explained in more detail later. In the end, the round robin bet is a mix of straight bet payouts and parlay payouts. They may prevent you in this for the long term or can be a genuine quick payout. These explanations ought to help you earn the proper selection and you will find a betting option you really enjoy.
The very first and easiest football gaming choice is the straight bet. Allow me to rephrase this, making that the wager is easy, picking which wager you'd like is even simpler in the event you've got the perfect picks or knowledge. The straight wager is exactly like it seems. . .straight. You find a crew or a over/under you want and you also merely bet that. It is really a one-team wager SBOBET Asia.
For example, you Enjoy the Bengals -5 within the Texans. You'd go to the casino or make an online wager and tell the Sports book you would really like 50 units on the Bengals. Should they cover, then you may get you original bet back plus some 45.5 models. Ditto goes if you like an over/under. Say you like the more from the main's match, which is 50. You'd make precisely the very same bet when you'd have with all the Bengal's video game and also the payout is precisely the exact similar. The right wager is a gambling option wherever you're in it to the whole time of year.
This isn't the biggest money-maker bet books need to offer you. This can be actually a bet at which if you stay inside it for the lengthy haul, the profit will eventually begin to show. Many handicappers decide on this gambling solution.
The money betting option will be much similar to the right wager with merely a little twist. After you bet a soccer match on the money line, then this includes a simple bet around the genuine winner of this match without a point spread. Lets move straight back to the example we found from the straight bet. In the straight betwe enjoyed the Bengals -5 over the Texans. Using the amount of money line betwe could create two decisions. We could bet the Bengals are going win against the game and also the Texans are going to win on the match. No point spreads, only secure the match!
That is called the money line bet. That was a difference between the 2 choices nevertheless. If you choose to wager on the favourite, you must wager more than you stand to profit. The cause of this is you're taking away the idea spread and making it easier to win the wager. In case on the other side, you decide to pick the underdog, you are saying the underdog will win the game maybe not just pay the disperse. In this instance, you stand to acquire more than you bet.
The next gaming choice could be that the parlay. Easy to do, a little harder to acquire. The gaming is just a way to bet multiple games with all the aid of the significant payout by the end when each of the games triumph. The point spreads for the matches are merely the same while the straight stakes so nothing changes . By Way of Example, say that you Enjoy the Dolphins +2 contrary to the Eagles and also the more in the game in 37. You'd goto the athletics novel and tell them parlay and the Dolphins as well as the over for 50 units. When both bets pay you will receive your fifty units straight back and an extra 180 models. A substantially larger payout than the typical right bet however a little harder to win. If only a single game doesn't win or draw you eliminate the whole bet, which is why it really is believed a little tougher.
Using a parlay, you can bet two or more stakes. Two stakes is the minimum and depending on the casino the most quantity of stakes will probably range between 5 to 8. Ofcourse together with the greater teams you bet, the higher the payout. Below are a few of the pay outs. To get a three-team parlay, the payout is 6 to inch plus you authentic wager.
That means if you place 50 units on about three unique teams or over/under you would become back 300 units and your initial 50. For a four-team parlay, the payout is 10 1 plus your initial guess. To get a five-team parlaythe payout will be 20-1 and your initial bet. Needless to say, the further clubs that you put in the tougher it is always to acquire. The parlay can be just a quick way to some huge payout when you have the perfect wisdom and picks.
Subsequent to the parlays, the next football gambling option are the teasers. Teasers are like parlays because you choose multiple matches and have to gain all of them. Teasers are guess the exact manner as parlays except you will get more points for your bet. There are a couple sorts of gambling choices for teasers with soccer. Usually, based upon the casino, you can find 6-point teasers and also 7-point teasers.
You may possibly well be thinking about your self if those really are any good. You are certain to get two distinct answers for this. For faculty soccer, individuals don't consider they are any good as the matches are usually blowouts along with an extra 7 points will not get me some good. For ace football, folks seem to enjoy the teasers and the excess points that they receive as ace matches are generally somewhat closer.
Ere is a good example of the teaser wager: Say you like the Raiders to triumph this week on the costs however also you do not believe that they would cover the spread of -7. Thus, you would like todo just a 7 point teaser and now you possess the Raiders like a Pick em'. Needless to say you may have to incorporate at least two teams to make the guess. Again, whenever a teaser is bet the exact way as being a parlay, you want more than one group to earn the guess. Still another factor to consider using a Rust is it's possible to bet either the favourite and the underdog of precisely the exact match.
Lets return into this Raiders example: Raiders -7 within the Costs. Only on a 7 point , you might shoot the Raiders as a Select em' as well as the Greens as a 14 point underdog. You could win just two ways. People today enjoy the teasers for other reasons too such as"hedging a bet." Lets say you have A100 device 5 group parlay likely in the Monday night game. You've already hit 4 teams of course in the event the fifth team hits you are looking at a 2000 unit pay-out. However, you wish to make sure you win some thing. If that fifth staff doesn't pay the disperse, there'll not be a payout. So this is the location where you'd"hedge your bet." You can"hedge" with a straight bet as well but a teaser is a much better approach to go. "Hedging" means gambling on the alternative workforce than your initial team on your own first guess. In this manner, you are ensured of winning something irrespective of .
The only instance you would want to"hedge" is when it is using a parlay. Some people may find it odd to bet towards your original guess, but the one difference between you and these will be you may be hanging out with units in your pocket employing this gaming choice. The only draw to off a teaser the plank is you cannot do exactly the over/under. You can do over/under teasers off a card however we'll reach all those later on in the post. You may be thinking that this can be a fantastic bet obtaining additional points however, also the gamer ends up paying to get such points at the end at the shape of lower premiums compared to on the parlay. This isn't just a betting option in which you ought to produce bad selections having a lower payout.
The round robin is a type of the parlay gaming option. Together with the round robin you'd bet just like a parlay only now you're combing all your own teams. This can be puzzling to someone one initially, but when you get do it, it is but one of many best betting options out there.
The main reason is a superb football betting option is because you do not have to win all of the matches to triumph some of your money backagain. Needless to say you have hitting all the matches to gain a big payout however in the event that you strike a handful of these matches you might win your cash and perhaps just a tiny revenue. An roundrobin averaging contains 2 to 8 groups. When you pick the quantity of clubs that you wish to bet, they've been broken up into 2 staff parlays. Before all the confusion commences, I would like to clarify: Lets say you wish to bet a 3 team round robin. Your guess could consist of 3 teams. For this particular quick example, lets telephone the teams, team 1, team 2, and team . I will enter to a better example when we start out talking betting models. Even a 3 team round robin is team 1 and team two (two team parlay)team 1 and 3(2 team parlay), also team 2 and 3 (two team members ).
Each crew is parlayed using one another only one time. Understand that each parlay is a guess. The more clubs that you gamble, the further parlays you have and the more it goes to run you.
Let's imagine that you want to wager 100 units onto a three-team parlay. That should definitely come out to function as 300 units because of the three distinct parlays.
Your overall bet has been 300 units and if each of three triumph, you'd acquire 480 components plus your initial 300 to get an overall total of 780.
Your complete bet is still 300 components and you will cash-out 260 complete. In actuality, you would simply unfastened 40 units. That is the difference between a roundrobin and a regular routine, that chance of hitting out two out of about three and only losing just a little bit.
Now don't forget, the more teams you bet, the longer parlays you will have. The other additional feature of the round-robin is that you are able to certainly do more than a two-team parlay. You could do two and three. So is you want to bet two team parlays and three team parlays. Let us utilize our straightforward instance of the 3 team round robin: staff 1,23. All-the 2 team softball bets remain the same: 1 and 2, 1 and 3, and 2 and 3. Today you're adding the following bet towards the roundrobin using threes: inch and 3 and 2. Today depending on howmuch wager, you bet gets increased by that level. You now have 4 bets in the place of 3.
More of a wager however should they hit, out your cash gains too. The roundrobin is just still another betting option game books give you.
You can find many gambling selections you can decide on when it regards betting soccer. Let's expect these past couple pages of information have assisted you to figure out what betting style fits you or even you have located a new gaming choice you wish to make an effort . Whether you're in this for a very long term or perhaps a quick payoff, then football betting is fun and exciting!

Perancis bukan tim mereka dulu, sementara Afrika Selatan dan Meksiko bukan yang terberat dari oposisi untuk tim seperti Uruguay.

Tambahkan fakta bahwa mereka terlihat bagus dalam pertandingan persahabatan pra turnamen, harga yang saat ini ditawarkan membuat nilai Uruguay menjadi sangat besar untuk memenangkan Grup A. Mereka seharusnya lebih pendek daripada saat ini, dengan Prancis sedikit lebih besar.

Taruhan olahraga Internet mendapat respon yang luar biasa di seluruh dunia, meskipun hanya beberapa negara yang mengizinkannya.

Sebagian besar negara Eropa memungkinkan untuk melakukan taruhan olahraga.
Taruhan olahraga dilakukan dengan cara yang sbobet asia sangat sistematis. Pertama, acara olahraga diakui dan tanggal pertandingan diketahui. Kemudian tawaran yang dibuat oleh bandar judi dievaluasi.

Appeal, judicial process by which a party complains to a higher court that a decision against him or her by a lower court was wrong and should be reversed. The availability of an appeal depends on the type of case involved, the level of court making original determination and the nature of that determination.
Generally, the appeal courts will not re-visit findings of fact made by the lower courts. Instead, appeal courts will overturn the decisions of lower courts when the lower courts have made errors in interpreting or applying the law.
Each province has its own appeal court and the Federal Court of Appeal hears certain matters of federal jurisdiction; decisions from these courts can be appealed only to the Supreme Court of Canada. Appeal courts in Canada almost always sit in panels of odd numbers of judges to ensure a majority decision in favour of one party or another.

ZCash (ZEC) is a cryptocurrency based on a decentralised blockchain. Where it differs from the likes of Bitcoin (BTC) is its use of cryptography to provide enhanced anonymity. This page will break down everything you need to know about ZCash, including its history, wallets, mining and future price forecasts. Finally, this page will wrap up with guidance on how to go about day trading with ZCash gold coins.
Much of the cryptocurrency's value and potential profitability centres around this promise of enhanced privacy.
According to the website, there is to be a limited total supply of 21 million units. However, in the first four year period, 20% of the coins generated were to be allocated to a 'founders reward', which would be shared with investors, developers and a non-profit.
ZCash also uses the same insurance rate as Bitcoin with 21 million ZEC to be brought out over 131 years. Although, instead of 10-minute block transaction times, ZCash will use a 2.5-minute block average with four times greater block rewards that halve every four years.
Understandably, a difficulty this cryptocurrency is facing comes from law enforcement, who distrust the uses brought about by the privacy features. In fact, the founder has held numerous virtual meetings to emphasise "they did not develop the currency to facilitate illegal activity".
However, ZCash does facilitate a 'selective disclosure' process. This enables private transactors to prove payments for auditing purposes. This gives clients the option to comply with anti-money laundering and tax regulations. As the developers explained, "Transactions are auditable but disclosure is under the participant's control".
So while the network's usage may be questionable, long-term scalability looks promising and is set to attract considerable investment.
ZCash came to life in October 2016 when founder Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn wanted to tackle privacy issues online using an open financial system. As laid out in the white paper, instead of offering the open ledger system of Bitcoin, ZCash wants to provide an encrypted open ledger.
Also among the founding team is cryptographer Mathew D. Green and initial investor Roger Ver. Of course, a huge number of other people helped build the system too. In fact, it began with the Zercoin protocol bring improved and turned into the Zerocash system. This was then enhanced and turned into the ZCash cryptocurrency in 2016. Protocol evolution is implemented by the Zerocoin Electric Coin Company, also known as the ZCash company.
The year after its launch there was a clear upward trend in favour of ZCash, as the currency was trading at $68.7 by April 2017. Price analysis shows it also boasted a market capitalisation of $80.2 million, ensuring it ranked on the list of top ten cryptocurrencies. This rise continued into the start of next year, as 2018 price predictions were met and often exceeded. In fact, the cryptocurrency regularly reached new all-time highest prices.
Overall, news of ZCash's worth and reviews of the coin have helped shaped its history so far and continue to drive future forecasts.
Head over to cryptocurrency forums and anonymity will often feature in discussions. Fortunately, ZCash uses sophisticated software and code to ensure privacy.
A special proof, zk-snark secures the network. The zero-knowledge proof basically allows two users to transfer capital without either party having to reveal their addresses. Obfuscation also ensures the value of the transaction is kept a secret. The addresses that are stored on the blockchain are shields, making it virtually impossible to trace the path between sender and receiver.
Whereas with Bitcoin, each full masternode stores details of what is held by each address in the UXTO or unspent transactions output database. Each transaction is then verified in order to unlock the output.
The approach taken by ZCash essentially implements an additional layer of privacy into transactions. Having said that, by the end of 2017, only about 4% of coins were in the shielded pool. At this point, most wallets did not actually support Z-addr and there were no online web-based wallets that did either.
Those who want protection from data leaks.
Couples who may want to buy intimate toys anonymously.
Individuals who need a straightforward currency converter.
Companies who want to protect trade secrets or supply chain information.
An enterprise who wants legal services in a private matter, such as bankruptcy.
Individuals with serious medical conditions who may want to anonymously purchase medication online.
On balance, the long-term outlook and uses for ZCash look both positive and legitimate.
Fungible cryptocurrency – ZCash ensures fungibility by unlinking shielded coins from their blockchain history.
New applications – Zero-knowledge proofs promise fully encrypted transactions can be verified as valid. As a result, new classes of blockchain applications can be built.
Privacy – You get all the benefits of a public blockchain, as well as the promise that private information will be kept secure.
Popularity – Recent ICOs have helped the live price of digital currencies rise. This helps create precisely the sort of volatility intraday traders need to turn a profit.
Governance – While some argue this is negative, having a captain to steer the ship can clearly be thought of as a help, not a hindrance.
Mining difficulty – Mining pools are to start early, ensuring there won't be an early rush where a few get to take it all. Mining guides will also make it a more even playing field for solo, dual, CPU, GPU, Windows and Android miners.
So for many reasons it has become accepted ZCash has a lot to offer potential investors and cryptocurrency explorers. In addition, the advantages are only likely to increase as the roadmap is followed and updates are made.
Fork – Someone may hard fork ZCash, creating a clone, similar to Ethereum.
Central flaw – There is just one central key to the ZCash network, which if mismanaged, may lead to transactions no longer staying anonymous.
Deflation – There is a danger that having a fixed max supply of coins will lead to deflationary problems. This may mean you won't get as much for your dollars as if you invested in an established index, such as the FTSE 100.
Legislation – Putting any network difficulty to the side, governments, especially in the US, do not like the concept of secret money. As a result, the cryptocurrency could face severe restrictions and even a ban. This may deter those who are still unsure of whether ZCash is worth investing in.
Competition – When you put ZCash vs Ripple, Ethereum, Monero and other altcoins, it's hard to see precisely why ZCash will be able to take any market share from its rivals. There are already secret coins to choose from. Furthermore, you could add ZCash as a side chain to the BTC network.
So despite promising stats so far, there are a number of factors that could cause ZCash rates to start falling.
Regardless of whether you're from the UK, the US or Europe, look for the lowest quotes, rates and transaction fees. For example, USD exchanges may offer accounts with better prices to USD than GBP and Euro. Remember also that many brokers offer single click access to cryptocurrencies (IQ Option offer over 20) – allowing trader to speculate and day trade on price movements, with needing to own the asset itself.
Alternatively, you can try ZCash on the test network for free by heading to a faucet.
Once you have your gold coins, you will also need a secure wallet to store them in. Fortunately, you can download a number of wallets. The official wallet is built for Linux. However there are also iOS app wallets, Mac wallets, other desktop and hardware wallets, plus you can get offline paper wallet generators. But perhaps the most popular option is the Ledger Nano S.
Although you now know where to buy ZCash, effective intraday trading with these coins will require careful price analysis of graphs and the following of the latest news.
Cryptocurrency mining is becoming increasingly popular. Unsurprisingly joining the best GPU ZEC mining pool is a high priority for many. ZCash will use the hashing algorithm Equihash. This is an asymmetric memory-hard PoW algorithm. It works much like Ethereum. It comes with high hardware requirements, including significant RAM to narrow the generation of proofs and ensure ASIC development isn't possible.
You can test ZCash with a free cloud mining contract from the Genesis. Flypool has also attracted a number of perspective USB and other miners.
However, it's worth bearing in mind you need to do more than learn how to mine. There are also risks to consider. For example, CPU Linux and Mac mining rigs will require an expensive amount of electricity. You will need to consider this price in your earnings calculator. Also, conduct a hardware comparison before you start to ensure you explore the most viable route.
Fortunately, detailed guides can walk you through everything you need to know, from network hashrate calculators and hashing power to mining hardware and pool lists.
It has been clear since the launch date that this cryptocurrency had potential and historical prices so far have confirmed that. In fact, some even suggest the digital currency remains undervalued.
Having said that, the crypto world has set a high benchmark. Furthermore, the Zerocash protocol's zk-SNARKS is relatively untested. As a result, many classic price forecasts have been purely speculative. Therefore, it is likely that future prices will depend on supply and demand, with the former rising while the later remains unclear. Thankfully this promises intraday traders precisely the volatility needed to yield profits.

Watershed alliance marks milestone by reflecting on successes, offering April 9 event and seeking stewards
Volunteers with the Buffalo Creek Watershed Alliance removed enough trash from two illegal dump sites along the waterway to fill a 20-yard Dumpster.
Its headwaters in the Bald Eagle State Forest severely impaired by acid precipitation and valleys below impacted by sedimentation and nutrient runoff, the Buffalo Creek became a prime target two decades ago for efforts by the Department of Environmental Protection to create a watershed alliance of local citizens who could help clean things up.
"The DEP provided a grant through the Merrill Linn Conservancy, of which we are a subsidiary, of $5,000 in 2001 – and because of that in 2002, the Buffalo Valley Watershed Alliance was formed," said the group's current chairmain, David Staebler. "The first chairman was Jeff Bowers who was instrumental in getting things started and building momentum."
The alliance wasted no time in addressing issues facing the creek, including high acidity in the headwaters.
"It is such a pristine area and it was easy to question how it was impaired, but it was due to decades of acid rain caused by industrial issues and other problems west of the area which lowered the pH to around 4.0 for many years," Staebler said. "Our first major project was to create an acid remediation site consisting of two limestone ponds. It was more than a $300,000 project funded by grants out of Growing Greener and the Foundation for PA Watersheds. It took five years to get a working system up and running, going live in September of 2009."
Since then, the acidity has been greatly improved.
"It went from a pH of 4.0 to a more normal 7.0," said Staebler. "It can take time for life to return to areas like that. Within five or six years, fish such as trout began to show up where they hadn't been for decades."
Acidity wasn't a problem in the lower stretches of Buffalo Creek due to limestone within the valleys that acted as a buffer – however, agricultural runoff negatively impacted the stream in these areas.
"While very beneficial to all of us, agriculture does create a problem for streams through sediment and nutrient runoff," said Staebler.
"In 2003, the alliance advocated that the Union County Conservation District bring in a watershed specialist to focus on these specific issues. They hired Shanon Burkland Stamm who has attended all our meetings on behalf of the conservation district since and has been instrumental in both our county and the state in establishing waterside tree plantings and other streambank stabilization efforts."
In 2015, Bucknell University's Matthew McTammany discovered a section of a tributary to Buffalo Creek was excessively impaired by local agricultural practices.
"Farmers along that section are mostly Old Order (Amish). Two of our group's managers took these farmers down to projects along Turtle Creek, which has been a showcase for stream remediation success," said Staebler.
"They talked with farmers down there and how these projects not only helped the stream, but the overall operation of the farms. Now, there is a big section of that tributary that has tree plantings, fences and designated cattle crossings."
A volunteer removes a tire from Buffalo Creek -- one of hundreds of tires that the Buffalo Creek Watershed Alliance have pulled from the waterway in the past 20 years.
Listen to the full interview with Buffalo Creek Watershed Alliance Chairman David Staebler in the most recent episode of the Middle Susquehanna Riverkeeper podcast:

A 2009 ribbon-cutting marks the opening of a double-limestone pond acid remediation site along the headwaters of the Buffalo Creek.
A pair of limestone-based remediation ponds helps offset decades of acid precipitation that has impaired the headwaters of Buffalo Creek.
The Buffalo Creek Watershed Alliance is seeking stewards to maintain young tree planting projects along the waterway.
More recently, a study was published in the Journal for Fish and Wildlife Management assessing the reintroduction of American eels into Buffalo Creek.
"One of the things I found fascinating that I didn't realize before is that eels are not able to get up to waters they used to frequent after they built dams like Conowingo. Naturalists were studying what happened as they bring eels up in pails to areas where they were before," said Staebler. "An interesting thing is that these eels can carry a special kind of mussel called the Eastern elliptio, and when these mussels get into the streambed, they become natural cleaners of the waterway."
In doing more research, Staebler attended a talk about these mussel species and their prevalence in Buffalo Creek vs. the nearby Pine Creek.
"They found that the mussels survive better in Pine Creek due to the sediment impairment in Buffalo Creek," he said.
While many watershed groups struggle for longevity as members age out and younger people fail to get involved, the Buffalo Creek Watershed Alliance is "fortunate in having a long succession of volunteers not only helping with projects, but also stepping up as managers and board members," said Staebler.
These volunteers have helped with many projects along the creek, including cleanup efforts that have removed "hundreds of tires" from the creek.
"I think some people thought the tires would be good fish habitat, but it is not. In some areas, we have found tire dams built to create pools" which can also negatively impact a waterway, Staebler admitted. "We have also worked on cleaning up illegal dump sites, including more recently along Campbell Mill Road which runs along the floodplain for Buffalo Creek. There were two dumps there, and we managed to fill a 20-yard dumpster. We pulled out an old foosball game table, refrigerator covers and much more – it was a real mess."
Moving forward, the Buffalo Creek Watershed Alliance is looking for volunteers to act as stewards for streamside tree planting projects.
"When any group does such a planting, the trees are young and there can be tubes or some other sort of protection around them," said Staebler, adding that long-term success for these sort of plantings includes designated people to monitor and help the trees mature.
We are looking for stewards who can take responsibility for one section of the project and check it at least four times a year, cleaning weeds away from the base of the tree, making sure animals haven't invaded the spot, etc. It is a wonderful opportunity for someone who loves to be outdoors, who wants to protect our waterways and who truly wants to make a difference."
The Buffalo Creek Watershed Alliance is celebrating its 20th anniversary as part of a special event that runs from 12-5 p.m. on Saturday, April 9, at the Rusty Rail Brewing Company in Mifflinburg.
"The Buffalo Creek Watershed Alliance part of the program will run from noon to probably 1 or 1:30," said Staebler. "I have invited Ben Hayes from Bucknell University to share. He is an expert in the restoration of streams and the science and physics and chemistry of streams. He is also an expert in connecting with the public, so he's perfectly placed to help us do this."
More information about the event – and about getting involved with the efforts to improve the waterway – can be found at the Buffalo Creek Watershed Alliance's Facebook page.

Low Concentrations of Mercury Induce Changes in Ion Composition of Cultured Myoblasts
Joanna Wroblewski, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm
Jan Ekstrand, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm
Romuald Wroblewski, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm
The effects of low concentrations (1 pM, 1 nM, 1 μM) of mercuric chloride on ion distribution in cultured myoblasts were analysed by energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis. An increase in intracellular sodium concentration was observed five minutes after addition of HgC12 to the culture medium. This increase was dose dependent and accompanied by a transient decrease in potassium concentration. Exposure to 1 nM and 1 μM HgC12 led to a two-fold increase in the cytoplasmic chlorine concentration. The higher HgC12 concentration (1 μM) induced morphological alterations in the form of cell membrane blebs, perforations and shrinkage or flattening of the myoblasts. It was concluded that even low concentrations of mercuric chloride cause elemental and morphological changes in cultured myoblasts, which may reflect effects of the metal on membrane permeability.

In this step-through we will use events and action variables to keep a record of particular callers in a file on the SD card. Events are one-time happenings.
Like actions, some events take extra parameters. In the case of events, however, the parameters are used to further narrow down which events to respond to.
A screen will show with a parameter called "Caller", The looking glass will allow you to select a variable, but for now we will not select a variable.
Now select the <Tasker> button to go to the Profile screen, and you will see a popup where you could select a task or create a new one.
Select <New Task> and give it a name. Now select the <+> button to add a task. On the popup select <File> and then <Write File>.
You will see the path/folder you selected. Now enter the name of the file you would like to write to, call it "callLog.txt"
Now select <Append>. We need to Append because we want to add the incoming number on the end of the file each time.
Now select the <Tasker> button until you are at the main screen of Tasker and close it.
Now to test get someone to phone you, you don't need to answer, the action will happen when the phone rings.


Hand troweling is a time consuming, tedious task that is inefficient and outdated. Stop the aches and pains with a sprayer that reduces installation time by half and helps to increase bond strength.
The Tirolessa USA sprayer can be used for plaster, stucco, small scale shotcrete, papercrete, earthen mixes and more. It can be used for traditional plastering and many alternative building methods like strawbale, earth bag, insulated panels and thin shell/ferrocement.
You will need a compressor with a minimum of 7 cfm @ 90 psi for the small jets, and 12 cfm @ 90 psi for the large jets (both jets included with sprayer). Typical compressor will have a 5 hp motor and a larger air tank. For electric motor driven compressors, having a larger tank, such as a 40 or 80 gallon tank, will provide ample air for continuous use. Gas or diesel driven compressors don't need to have large tanks, as the motor is continuously running.
Lifetime Warranty on non-consumable parts (excluding jets, o-rings, washers).

New 'Fantastic Mr. Fox' Featurette
We here at The Flickcast have been reporting everything to you on Wes Anderson's adaptation of the children's classic Fantastic Mr. Fox we can find. After giving you the first look at some production stills and the first trailer, we now have an Apple featurette on the making of the film which was brought to our attention by the folks at Ain't It Cool News.
The featurette explains how Wes Anderson, the writer and director of the film, lived and wrote in the same place Roald Dahl did when he wrote The Fantastic Mr. Fox. Anderson's experience helped him learn more about Dahl himself and how the character Mr. Fox was based on Dahl. He was also able to work that into his film adaptation. There, Anderson also found inspiration for what would become the universe and set of the film.
It's really cool that this was released before the film comes out rather than as a special feature on a DVD release, similar to the Where the Wild Things Are featurette we showed you during Comic-Con. The more we see from Fantastic Mr. Fox the more excited we become, and we hope you do too.
The Fantastic Mr. Fox, featuring the voice of Meryl Streep, Owen Wilson, Michael Gambon, Bill Murray and George Clooney as Mr. Fox, creeps into theaters November 15. You can watch the new featurette right here.

As December is here, the colder weather is beginning to settle in, and festive celebrations begin. We are under the impression Goa Club are celebrating the whole month, compiling stellar parties each every weekend. The 700 capacity club residing in the Ostiense neighbourhood in Rome, have a reputation for casting in high quality artists, putting themselves firmly at the forefront of the Italian scene since 1996.
Regular displays of electronic music on different club nights has led to the success of the club, a true variance. This December will see Touch the Wood, Nozoo, Goa Ultrabeat, Rebel Rebel and She Made all representing their own sounds and visions.
Slick groove master Fumiya Tanaka will be making an appearance on December 2nd, the Perlon star will play an extended set for Nozoo. On the 7th Planetary Assault Systems' will be bringing his set up to Rome for Goa Ultrabeat. As far as live sets go we have not quite seen any as intense, a true representation of his legendary sound. Something that needs to be experienced. He will be joined by DJ Red (Electric Deluxe / BPitch Control) and Adiel (Ultrabeat / Danza Tribale).
A certain highlight taking place the following day is Praslesh and Giammarco Orsini. Raresh and Praslea are known for bringing the heat worldwide under their duo alias, it will be somewhat of a beautiful combination once amongst the exquisite decor of Goa. Orsini's recent productions on Partisan and Heko are a stamp of the outstanding sounds that will be served up on the night.
Thursday 14th sees Chicago house pioneer Boo Williams make an appearance in Italy. An impressive discography with releases on Peacefrog, Cajual and Rush Hour (to name only a few) sum up how this night will be nothing short of amazing. A master class in the game. The day after this heavy night; Nina Kraviz will take control of the club alongside ZERØ at Rebel Rebel night, on 15th of December.
Vlada and She Made resident Ameliee join Partisan chief Anthea just days away from Christmas, Dec 23th. Let the Christmas dinner settle, get the gifts out of the way and get ready for Nozoo Christmas AfterTea. Heading up proceedings is Discobar's very own Lamache, crate digger and true selector. Laurine (Slowlife) joins him for the festive extravaganza on 25th of December with Marcolino Ultrasuoni, Christopher Ledger, Alberto Gerardi, and Fabrizio Sala.
Rounding off the busy month at Goa; Ultrabeat & Rebel Rebel night will take place on Friday, 29th of December with Hunee (Rush Hour) alongside ZERØ (Rebel Rebel).
Plus many more special names on the bill, throughout December.
You do not need to let the frost get to you, call it an early Christmas treat and get flights booked up. It makes sense.


This course engages students in a focused study of six or seven specific, momentous periods in the history of world art dating from prehistory to the mid-eighteenth century. The selection of topics will be determined by the particular organizing principle adopted by the course instructor. For example, the organizing principle could be that of medium (architecture, painting, sculpture, decorative arts); of belief systems (religion, philosophy); of patronage; or of prevailing technological inventions and discoveries. By studying selected moments in the history of world art in some depth, students will gain an awareness of how art objects and visual culture both shape and represent societies and their histories.


The garden has a number of mature apple trees, which look wonderful covered in blossom in the spring, and provide perfect support for two rampant rambling roses - 'Paul's Himalayan Musk' and 'Frances E Lester'. The roses cause domestic friction, when it looks as if they are smothering the trees ..but we do have an excess of apples and surely could never have too much rose?
Our 'Bramley's Seedling', the definitive English "cooker", is extremely productive. The first 'Bramley's Seedling' grew from pips planted in a garden in Nottinghamshire in 1809. We have another cooker, 'Bedfordshire Foundling', which probably originated in Bedfordshire in around 1800. The large angular yellow cookers look as if they have been designed for packing, they are so cuboidal. We also have several 'King of the Pippins', another old cultivar but this one originating in France, which produces a small cider apple.
Mr B has added to the apple collection so now we have some excellent eaters all grown on dwarfing root stocks: 'James Grieve' (large, very early and does not keep but great to eat fresh off the tree), 'Sunset' (sweet and crunchy, rather like a Cox, but apparently easier to grow), 'Egremont Russet' (a characteristic nutty flavour) and 'Sturmer Pippin' (an excellent keeper, getting softer and sweeter with time).
The garden, which surely must have been part of an orchard once, also has a number of old greengage trees. I suspect I am guilty of hastening the end of one of these with the very exuberant rambler rose, 'Bobbie James'. I had to put in a large wooden trellis for the rose when the tree finally succumbed- not an ideal solution as the rose is far too vigorous and has to be restricted by a radical prune after flowering each year- a task calling for full protective clothing.
We were inspired by Rosemary Verey's superb potager at Barnsley House near Cirencester to make our own ornamental vegetable patch, but on a very small scale. Box balls and a bay tree provide evergreen structure and the 'Sunset' apple tree, underplanted with the decorative but sterile strawberry plants, Fragaria vesca 'Variegata', is a centre-piece. Mr B grows small quantities of potatoes, leeks, leaf beet (perpetual spinach), rocket, spinach, lettuce and rather fine garlic. My Mum's rhubarb (an old variety from our home in Northern Ireland) does very well and is always ready early in the year. I grow a number herbs including chives, sage, thyme, marjoram, fennel, chervil, rosemary, winter savoury and, of course, parsley.

Rhys Gerran Lloyd, Baron Lloyd of Kilgerran CDB QC JP (* 12. August 1907; † 30. Januar 1991) war ein britischer Rechtsanwalt und Politiker der Liberal Party, der 1973 als Life Peer aufgrund des Life Peerages Act 1958 Mitglied des House of Lords wurde.

Leben
Lloyd absolvierte nach dem Schulbesuch ein Studium am Selwyn College der University of Cambridge und nahm danach eine Stelle als Lehrer an der Bembridge School auf der Isle of Wight an, wo er sich in zahlreichen Organisationen engagierte, die sich auf den Sozialphilosophen John Ruskin bezogen. Nach einem postgradualen Studium der Rechtswissenschaften erhielt er 1939 seine anwaltliche Zulassung als Barrister und spezialisierte sich in der Folgezeit auf Fragen zum Patentrecht. Seit 1951 war er bis 1960 Herausgeber und Bearbeiter des von Duncan Mackenzie Kerly begründeten Standardwerks Kerly's law of trade marks and trade names. Aufgrund seiner langjährigen anwaltlichen Erfahrung wurde ihm 1961 der Titel eines Kronanwalt (Queen's Counsel) verliehen.

Neben seiner beruflichen Laufbahn engagierte sich Lloyd politisch in der Liberal Party, für die er sich bei den Unterhauswahlen am 8. Oktober 1959 im Wahlkreis Anglesey erfolglos um ein Abgeordnetenmandat im House of Commons bewarb. 1971 wurde er als Nachfolger von David Rees-Williams, 1. Baron Ogmore Präsident der Liberal Party von Wales und bekleidete diese Funktion bis zu seiner Ablösung durch Geraint Wyn Howells 1974. Während dieser Zeit war er zudem als Nachfolger von Trevor Jones zwischen 1973 und seiner Ablösung durch Arthur Holt 1974 Präsident der Liberal Party Großbritanniens.

Durch ein Letters Patent vom 29. Juni 1973 wurde Lloyd, der auch Commander des Order of the British Empire (CBE) war sowie zeitweise als Friedensrichter (Justice of the Peace) wirkte, aufgrund des Life Peerages Act 1958 als Life Peer mit dem Titel Baron Lloyd of Kilgerran, of Llanwenog in the County of Cardigan, in den Adelsstand erhoben und gehörte damit bis zu seinem Tod dem House of Lords als Mitglied an. Seine offizielle Einführung (Introduction) in das Oberhaus erfolgte mit Unterstützung durch Frank Byers, Baron Byers und Simon Brooke Mackay, Baron Tanlaw am 4. Juli 1973.

Als Oberhausmitglied befasste er sich ebenfalls mit Fragen zum Patentrecht, aber auch zum Urheberrecht. Ferner war er zwischen 1977 und 1983 gemeinsam mit Monroe Palmer Schatzmeister der Liberal Party.
