After almost six months since Alberto Conde's departure to Panama, BBVA has appointed Nick Shaw as its new global head of trade finance.
Shaw is to take over Conde's role in Madrid, reporting to Francisco Esteve, head of investment banking. He is moving from his previous role as head of trade finance for North Asia, based in Hong Kong. He also has experience of working in Europe and Latin America for BBVA.
His new role in Madrid will involve managing BBVA's reorganised trade finance operations. The unit has been newly integrated into four geographical areas, all reporting directly to Shaw.
The Europe division will be led by Jose Ramon Nieto, covering activities in the Madrid, Milan, Paris and London offices. The Mexico unit is headed up by Dorotea Ortiz. The Americas division is being run by Erich Michel, senior vice president, head of trade and export finance. He will be covering both New York operations and Latin America (excluding Mexico). In Hong Kong, Grace Li is in charge of the bank's Asian business.
In April, Conde was promoted to general manager and CEO of the bank's affiliated bank in Panama.


We have recently completed a project for Equinix, who are a leading global colocation data centre provider by market share, and it operates over 175 data centres in 44 major markets in 22 countries across five continents. We were selected to design and build a new European headquarters in a former East India Trading Company warehouse in Central London. This enabled us to have the opportunity for our design team to express the high-tech nature of the client within the historic building. The design was influenced not only by the brand and the building but by its immediate surroundings such as the sheltered courtyard in Devonshire Square. The cafes and bars here have seating that spreads from the individual premises out into the shared courtyard, resulting in an area where people are bought together.

Prince Gyalsey greeted PM Modi with folded hands.
Bhutanese king Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck along with his wife Jetsun Pema Wangchuck and their son arrived in Delhi for a four-day visit to India, their first since India and China ended a 73-day-old standoff in Doklam plateau two months ago. However, amid talks around the relationship between India and Bhutan and the golden jubilee celebrations of diplomatic ties between the two neighbours next year, it's the little prince, one-and-a-half-year-old Gyalsey, who has the spotlight on him.
PM Modi wooed the prince with the official football from the FIFA U-17 World Cup.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi yesterday met the royals where the prince greeted him with folded hands. The cute namaste moment made for a great frame. Later, when PM Modi sat down with the Bhutanese King for a tete-a-tete, Prince Gyalsey patiently waited. PM Modi then wooed him with the official football from the FIFA U-17 World Cup and a chess set, which the royal guest gladly accepted.
President Ram Nath Kovind and wife Savita played the perfect hosts.
Earlier in the day, at the Rashtrapati Bhavan as President Ram Nath Kovind appreciated King Wangchuck's role in resolving the standoff between Indian and Chinese troops in the Doklam region of the Himalayan kingdom, his wife Savita Kovind couldn't take her eyes off the boy in gho, the traditional and national dress for men in Bhutan. When it was time to say ciao, he received a treat, a gift hamper about his size, from the president and obliged the photogs with a group pic.
Sushma Swaraj received Bhutan's royal family at the Delhi airport.
External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, who had received the royal couple, dubbed the 'William and Kate of the Himalayas', at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi airport the previous day, had her share of fun with the prince of Bhutan. She was seen pulling his cheeks and trying to make small talk with him.
Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman gifted traditional Indian toys to the prince.
During their meeting with Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, Prince Gyalsey got busy with traditional Indian toys. Ms Sitharaman tweeted, "With His Majesty the King, the Queen & the adorable young Prince of Bhutan. Happy to see HM the Prince like the Chennapatna (Karnataka)toys."


Spammers have launched the first mass MP3-attached pump-and-dump spam campaign, which security experts say could be used to distribute malware.
Spammers have launched the first mass MP3-attached pump and dump spam campaign, which security experts say could be used to distribute malware.
The spam contains no text or subject header while the attached MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3) files, according to security firm Sophos, are named after popular artists such as Elvis Presley, Fergie or Carrie Underwood.
However, rather than the file playing music from the artist when opened, a message is read in a synthesised female voice, promoting the stocks of Exit Only Incorporated. Paul Ducklin, Sophos's head of technology said the voice sounded like a female version of "Marvin the Paranoid Android", a character from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.
If the file is opened, listeners will hear: "Hello, this is an investor alert. Exit Only Incorporated has announced it is ready to launch its new text4cars.com Web site, already a huge success in Canada, we are expecting amazing results in the USA."
Ducklin said the spammers had "not quite got it yet" with this iteration of MP3 spam.
"The problem with MP3 spam -- as with image files and PDF -- is the files tend to be much larger, so there are extra costs associated with carrying it," said Ducklin.
So far, the MP3 file has not been used to distribute Trojans or viruses, but this could change -- Ducklin said JPEG and WMF [Windows Media Format] files are regularly exploited to deliver malicious executable files.
"There was a time where Windows vulnerabilities allowed files to contain shell code -- executable programs -- and use buffer flows to enter the system ... It's not impossible that vulnerabilities in some MP3 [software] would allow you target it with exploit code."
However MessageLabs' product marketing manager, Philip Routely, said he would expect, if the MP3 was used to transmit malware, it would actually occur by renaming a file extension to make the recipient believe they are receiving an MP3 file.
"There's nothing to say that the same attacker can't make an [executable file] look like a MP3 file. If the attacker changed the file extension, a recipient could double click on it and while nothing appears to be happening it's downloading malware in the background," said Routely.
Kaspersky Labs' director of security outsourcing, Andrey Nikishin said he expects MP3 mass mailings to increase in the future.

Mubarak: Golan Could Have Been Syria's, Had Damascus Recognised Israel – Report
16:14 12.04.2019 (updated 16:15 12.04.2019)
Tensions over the Golan Heights, seized by israel from Syria following the 1967 Six-Day War, took a new turn after the United States recognised Israeli sovereignty over the disputed region last month.
In an interview with the Egyptian al-Hayat network, Egypt's former President Hosni Mubarak claimed that Syria had turned down an Israeli offer to return the Golan Heights in exchange for the normalisation of bilateral relations and the opening of embassies in the two countries back in 1998.
Syria Not Ruling Out Military Solution to Golan Heights Issue — Foreign Ministry
This information was revealed by TV presenter Ahmed Al-Sayed, who told Cairo24 about his conversation with the former president, the Middle East Monitor reported.
According to Al-Sayed, Mubarak, who served as Egypt's president from 1981 to 2011 when he stepped down amid the Arab Spring protests in the country, told him: "I contacted the Israelis to try to recover the Golan Heights, but they demanded the opening of an Israeli embassy in Damascus and a Syrian one on the occupied land as a kind of Syrian recognition of Israel".
The offer in question was allegedly made during Benjamin Netanyahu's first prime ministership and was flatly rejected by then-Syrian President Hafez al-Assad.
Mubarak reportedly added that US President Donald Trump's recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights last month was…

Sheriff Grady Judd laid into a woman who is accused of filing 28 fraudulent applications for free toys from Toys for Tots.
Local press reports Tammy Strickland, 38, allegedly invented identities for 140 children and 28 adults to collect a gargantuan yuletide haul from Toys for Tots, a charity that provides Christmas gifts for needy children. She was arrested by undercover detectives when she arrived at the organization's warehouse to make off with her spoils.

SAF-DYNAMICS of Food Science and Technology: What do nutritionists do?
These are people who concentrate on the study of nutrition. In some states, a person who uses the title "nutritionist" must have a graduate degree in basic science courses related to nutrition.
Nutritionists provide information and advice about food, diet and health, usually relating to people who are well. Registered nutritionists are experts in nutritional science and apply this in a variety of settings, including working with individuals, groups and communities.
They work in different roles including public health, health improvement, health policy, local and national government, in the private sector, Non Government Organizations (NGOs) and in education and research. Nutritionists are qualified to provide information about food and healthy eating.
The Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) provides nutrition consultation and education for patients and their families who are screened at nutrition risk, identified with nutrition risk, and/or referred by physicians or other healthcare providers for nutrition-related problems, chronic disease management, management of nutrition support, to meet regulatory requirements, or for prevention and wellness.

So happy that I stumbled across this gem of a recipe while reading Food Network Magazine. Katie Lee posted this recipe after a trip to the Amalfi Coast. It is so simple, quick, and absolutely delicious. It is just a few ingredients; pasta, zucchini, parmesan, pecorino, olive oil, basil, and garlic. Really all of the best things. It is especially perfect for summer because there always seems to be zucchini around.
Of course, I made a few changes to the original recipe, but it is still wholly Katie Lee's. Any pasta will do, her original recipe calls for spaghetti, but I have made it with fusilli and farfalle too!
Begin boiling the water for the pasta and begin cooking the pasta. You will need about a cup of the pasta water in order to make the sauce for this pasta. So you definitely need to cook the pasta ahead of time. It is ok if it sits on the side while you make the rest of the sauce.
Start by chopping the zucchini into delicate little moons. Heat 1/4 cup of olive oil in a large saute pan. Once the oil is nice and hot add the zucchini in one large layer.
Smash four cloves of garlic and add it to the zucchini. Add 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water and finish cooking the zucchini until it is tender. Remove the garlic cloves and add in 6 leaves of shredded basil and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Turn heat to low and add the cooked pasta and the rest of the pasta water.
Stir to combine and add in 1/3 cup of parmesan and a 1/3 cup of pecorino until it becomes a cheesy, saucy masterpiece. Serve immediately, preferably with more cheese!
Cook the pasta, slightly underdone and reserve 1 cup of the pasta water. Set pasta aside.
Heat olive oil in a large saute pan until hot. Add sliced zucchini and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Add in smashed garlic and cook for another minute or so. Add in 1/4 cup of reserved water and finish cooking zucchini until tender.
Add in the basil and salt, remove the smashed garlic cloves.
Add in pasta, remaining water, and grated cheeses.
Stir to combine and cook for another minutes until some of the juices have been absorbed by the pasta and serve immediately!!
Yum! I plan to make this for a memorial service at church!

Hit Drag, also known as Attack Delay or Attack Penetration, refers to an attack that slows down after it connects with a target.
Attack Delay is used in Focus Stimulant, but hit drag is the less ambiguous term, since there are other movement-inhibiting delays in attack animations that don't involve hitting a target.
When an attack connects with a target, the animation may slow down as the weapon cleaves through the target. The attack becomes noticeably slower compared to when the attack missed the target.
Hit Drag is most noticeable with melee smash attacks that have a wide cleave or multiple hits. However, not all attacks have hit drag.
Hit drag serves as an extra differenciater on top of speed, range, and damage of smash attacks. The fastest attacks to spam when there is no hit drag may be different from normal.
Hit drag also allows the designer to decrease the damage potential and increase the risk of an attack only when it is used to deal damage. So the utility aspects of an attack would not be significantly affected (ex: using an attack to speed up movement or add extra range to a dodge).
While transformed as Dark Knight or White Knight, hit drag is almost entirely removed. This is why attacking while transform will sometimes seem faster even though there is no increase in attack speed.
Focus Stimulant will remove hit drag while its effect is active.
The effect of hit drag is reduced if the smash attack hits at an angle or from farther away such that collision area is small, but the attack will still deal normal amount of damage.

100 Pages of…
100 Pages of Horror –The Motherless Oven by Rob Davis
Rob Davis graphic novel The Motherless Oven is a twisted and surreal fantasy perfectly formed over nearly 200 pages of excellent black and white artwork all of which I consumed in one sitting even though as the title suggests this is only supposed to be 100 Pages of Horror.
Set in an alternate world where children make their parents the anti-hero of the tale is Scarper Lee a teenager who spends his days at school avoiding the playground lions and his evenings safe from the Knife storms looking after his wind-powered brass behemoth of a father which he keeps locked in the shed for safe keeping.
Fussed over by his Bakelite hairdryer mother Scarper is three weeks away from his deathday not that he is bothered by it, that's just the way the world works. That is until new girl Vera Pike appears and turns his and everyone else's world upside down by breaking all the rules and refusing to accept life as they all know it.
Dragging along fellow pupil Castro an engineering wiz with special needs the trio run away from their homes and school on a hunt for Scarper's dad who has disappeared without a trace.
Soon they are face to face with the outside world in all its absurd and unusual glory on a quest that could uncover far more than where Scarper's father has gone leading them to the Motherless Oven where all parents and children are supposed to be created.
As a big fan of many of publisher SelfMadeHero's titles The Motherless Oven didn't disappoint reminding me of the equally surreal and edgy Klaxon that threw its reader into a weird world and let them try to understand it.
This is a brave feat and author and illustrator Rob Davis more than succeeds in drawing you in with very little explanation providing enough familiarity in amongst the chaos and confusion to gain a connection with the characters that really pays off.
There are tons of interesting and innovative ideas packed into the story many of which you can see as comments or critics of popular culture and society and some that stand alone as obscure inventions from Rob Davis's magnificent mind.
Beginning by self-publishing his own comic, the highly experimental SLANG, in 1989 Davis was employed by Fleetway to reinvent British comics' icon Roy of the Rovers. Illustrating for newspapers including The Guardian and children's book publishers including Scholastic he then worked on the equally quintessentially English Judge Dredd and wrote and drew a Doctor Who comic for Panini.
The Motherless Oven is also very British from the modish stylings of Scarper and his pals to the obsession with tea and the latest bands who race their Dad's after dark the book is peppered with pieces of English history, fashion and pop culture except all off kilter and reimagined within the fantastic and often fear filled world the heroes inhabit.
A cracking read for fans of comics darker and stranger than the norm the book is made all the better by the fact that its sequel called The Can Opener's Daughter (which we will be reviewing very soon) is already out carrying on Scarper's story and delving further into the weird and wonderful world Rob Davis has created.

We seem to never be contented, always wanting what we can't have. Nowhere does this prove truer than with hairstyles. Women with stick-straight hair want waves, and those born with twisty curls covet the sleek straight look. And forget about frizz: No one requests those frazzled dry fly-aways at the salon.
First of all, why is my hair curly or wavy and not straight? The shape and thickness of your hair depends on the shape of the hair follicles out of which it grows. And the shape of your hair follicles depends on your genes.
And why does straightened hair look so shiny? The answer to this is all geometry and optics. Hair with curls or waves has lots of curves and angles off which light bounces, but straight hair reflects light and appears shiny.
Does blow-drying harm my hair? Your hair is dead tissue, so you can't really make it any deader. But blow-drying can weaken your hair's cuticle, which protects it from damage. All of that heat can also sap hair of moisture that it gets from its still-living hair shaft - moisture that protects hair from breakage and other damage.
That said, blow-drying is a cheap, easy way to straighten your hair on your own. If you plan to blow-dry your hair on a regular basis, be sure to condition your hair regularly, too. You might also consider adding a diffuser to your blow-dryer, or experimenting with products that protect your hair from heat damage.
Will flat-ironing damage my hair? Like blow-drying, a flat iron applies heat to your hair, and heat can cause damage. Reduce damage by using a heat-protective product or applying leave-in conditioner before you take iron to hair.
Is relaxing my hair safe? Relaxers are not really very relaxing. Harsh, corrosive chemicals applied to the hair cause a chemical reaction that breaks down the protein in the hair, making the hair more pliant to straightening. A neutralizer is then used to set the new straight style. While relaxers may be quite effective at getting hair straight, they weaken hair, making it more prone to breakage. Not to mention that those caustic ingredients can irritate your skin. And since your hair will grow back the way it was before, you may decide to relax it again. Wait at least 6 weeks to protect your hair.
Is the Brazilian blow-out process safe? Women who've longed for straight, shiny locks have cried in joy when they look in the mirror after a so-called Brazilian blow-out (BBO). This South American hair phenomenon has become hugely popular - despite the hours you'll spend in the salon seat and the steep fee that can run you upwards of $600. A keratin formula (your hair is mostly made of a protein called keratin) is applied to the hair, which is then flat-ironed at very high heat to a smooth lustre. After a few days without washing, hair should be set in a straight style for a few, frizz-free months.
Does it sound too good to be true? Well, some formulations - those considered most effective - contain formaldehyde, a known human carcinogen. And once pressed by the flat iron, the formaldehyde heats up and becomes an airborne risk. One woman in Brazil is reported to have died from the fumes created when she did the treatment on her own hair. And Health Canada issued a warning in 2010 for Canadians to avoid a product called "Brazilian Blowout Solution" (manufactured by Brazilian Blowout of California) because it has been found to contain unacceptable levels of formaldehyde. If you are interested in having the process done, ask salons if they use formaldehyde-free products - or at least products containing 0.2% formaldehyde or less, the limit advised by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel (CIR).
Is Japanese hair straightening treatment safe? Like the Brazilian blow-out, this straightening method will also cost you a pretty penny - somewhere in the $500 or higher range. The Japanese method is thought to work in a way similar to chemical relaxers, breaking the protein bonds in hair and making it easier to straighten. And like relaxers, the treatments can damage. Effects last about 6 months.
If your hair is relatively straight, humidity in the air will probably cause your hair to frizz. This happens because moisture from the air gets into your hair and causes the proteins inside to plump up. Some protein will plump up more than others, which is what causes that messy, irregular frizz.
Those with curly hair are more prone to day-to-day frizz. Also, over-brushing can stretch and stress the proteins on the surface of your hair, causing the hair to break and split and, thus, to stand on end or frizz out.
With straight hair so high on so many women's wish list, hair care companies offer up all sorts of frizz-proof products, from shampoo and conditioner to serums to finishing sprays that add polish and sheen. Some of these products work by conditioning the hair, which weighs it down, smoothes the surface, and helps it lie flatter.
Other products use silicones and resins, which create a protective layer over the surface of the hair so it will not be affected by humidity. Newer formulations contain polyfluoroester (PFE), which is like Teflon for hair, reducing surface tension and keeping moisture from soaking into the hair.

Q: Dagger 2 error with kotlin missing provider I am trying to fix bug when using new androidx with Dagger and kotlin. It works fine when using in Java written. But, when I switch it to kotlin,
I got error: error: java.util.Map,javax.inject.Provider>> cannot be provided without an @Provides-annotated method. I am using Android Studio 3.2.1
Here is my code:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'

implementation "com.google.dagger:dagger:2.13"
implementation "com.google.dagger:dagger-android:2.13"
implementation "com.google.dagger:dagger-android-support:2.13"
kapt "com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.13"
kapt "com.google.dagger:dagger-android-processor:2.13"

My AppComponent:
@Singleton
@Component(modules = [AppModule::class, BuildersModule::class, NetworkModule::class])
interface AppComponent {
    @Component.Builder
    interface Builder {
        @BindsInstance
        fun application(app: BaseApp): Builder

        fun build(): AppComponent

    }

    fun inject(app: BaseApp)
}

And my AppModule:
@Module
class AppModule {

    @Provides
    @Singleton
    internal fun provideDataManager(): DataManager {
        return DataManager()
    }

    @Provides
    fun provideContext(app: BaseApp) : Context {
        return app.applicationContext
    }

    @Provides
    fun provideRemoteData (remoteRepository: RemoteRepository): RemoteContract {
        return remoteRepository
    }
}

So, my DaggerAppComponent is not generated because of that code. I even tried version 2.19 but got some other bugs. I read that they are trying to fix it. I would appreciate if there is some way around or any suggestion.
Oh, one more thing. In Java written, I had also AndroidSupportInjectionModule in AppComponent like and it worked fine:
@Singleton
@Component(modules = {AndroidSupportInjectionModule.class, AppModule.class, BuildersModule.class, NetworkModule.class})
public interface AppComponent {
    @Component.Builder
    interface Builder {
        @BindsInstance
        Builder application(BaseApp app);
        AppComponent build();

    }

    void inject(BaseApp app);
}

If I add this in Kotlin version like bellow, I do not get above error anymore, but instead error when building is: Unresolved reference: DaggerAppComponent
@Singleton
@Component(modules = [
    AndroidSupportInjectionModule::class,
    AppModule::class,
    BuildersModule::class,
    NetworkModule::class
])
interface AppComponent {
    @Component.Builder
    interface Builder {
        @BindsInstance
        fun application(app: BaseApp): Builder
        fun build(): AppComponent
    }
    fun inject(app: BaseApp)
}

A: Try to add InjectionModules to your AppComponent.kt
@Singleton
@Component(modules = [
AppModule::class,
BuildersModule::class,
NetworkModule::class
AndroidInjectionModule::class,
AndroidSupportInjectionModule::class
])
interface ApplicationComponent {

UK govt urges unions to end strikes, vows to curb walkouts
LONDON (AP) — The British government on Thursday dangled the prospect of public-sector pay hikes next year in an attempt to end strikes by nurses and ambulance staff that have piled pressure on an already overburdened health system.
The government invited union leaders for talks on 2023-24 pay rates and promised a "cooperative spirit" – while also saying it will introduce legislation in the coming weeks to make it harder for key workers to walk out.
The Conservative administration said it will set "minimum safety levels" regarding staffing for firefighters, ambulance services and railways that must be maintained during a strike.
Business Secretary Grant Shapps said the new law would "restore the balance between those seeking to strike and protecting the public from disproportionate disruption." Some Conservative lawmakers have argued for an even tougher law that would ban strikes by essential health care workers.
Unions condemned the planned law. The GMB union, which represents some ambulance staff, said its members "should have the right to stand up for themselves and the health service we all depend on."
The government said it hopes to sit down with union leaders to discuss evidence on pay and working conditions that will be submitted to the review bodies that oversee salaries in parts of the public sector.
Britain has seen months of strikes, including a walkout by train drivers on Thursday that scuttled journeys across the country.
Rail workers, like others who work in the public sector, say wages have failed to keep pace with the skyrocketing cost of living. Inflation in the U.K. soared to a 41-year high of 11.1% late last year, driven by sharply rising energy and food costs.
Nurses, airport baggage handlers, ambulance and bus drivers and postal workers were among those who walked off their jobs in December to demand higher pay.
Ambulance staff are set to strike again on Jan. 11 and 23, while nurses will do the same Jan. 18-19.

Double Standard: Making Tons of Money from Coal While Campaigning Against It
Tom Steyer: The Man, The Myth
California's Green Energy Opportunist
Nextgen Climate: Steyer's Political Juggernaut
Steyer's Political Bankrolling
Network Coverage of Steyer is Almost Nonexistent, But Watch Out For Kochs
Networks Cover Koch Funding 22 Times More Than Steyer: Print outlets admitted Steyer was a major player in Democratic funding circles and has been since the 2006 election. But that wasn't enough to earn Steyer network coverage. Meanwhile, Charles and David Koch were demonized by the networks as "elite" billionaires who supported "very, very conservative causes."
Print Outlets Point Out Steyer Hypocrisy, Democratic Funding: If ABC, CBS and NBC wanted to know what Steyer was doing, they didn't have to look far. They should have consulted either The New York Times or The Washington Post. Together, the papers mentioned Steyer in 110 stories during the same time period and published more than 100 additional blogs, many discussing Steyer's political activities.
More than $73.8 million to Political Campaigns Just in 2014 Election Cycle: Steyer was already the most prominent donor to the 2014 election cycle, eclipsing other donors on both sides. Then he dropped another $16 million on the election, bringing his grand total near $74 million. This funding mainly went towards targeting campaigns in the seven key states of Florida, Colorado, Iowa, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Maine and Michigan.
Double Standard On The Environment: Even though Reuters and The Washington Post hyped his climate change "conversion," Steyer's switch from fossil fuels to eco-activism was not so cut-and-dried. Steyer is an opportunist, campaigning against coal and natural gas where he chooses, and profiting from coal and natural gas investments elsewhere. While accepting awards for environmentalism in the U.S., Steyer was increasing the coal production of Australia and Indonesia by 70 million tons. He's also set to profit from the "green" energy policies that he endorsed.
Vague Timeline, Low Media Profile Help Steyer: In 2013, Steyer's Nextgen Climate PAC promised to spend $100 million on the 2014 election -- half donated by Steyer and half raised from outside sources. But when the PAC only managed to raise about $2 million, Steyer denied that he had ever promised $100 million, claiming "somebody I don't know who has never owned up to it." This type of vagueness and timeline distortion has helped Steyer in the past too. Although he now claims that his environmental conversion happened in the summer of 2012, his Center for the Next Generation launched in 2011 and he was funding and campaigning for 'green' legislation in California in 2010. A 2012 'conversion' date, however, would mean that his investments in coal up until 2013 would seem less hypocritical.
Liberal billionaire Tom Steyer really hates coal, or so he's said. He spoke out against it in 2011, warning that such "dirty" fuels were destroying the planet, and that taxing coal plants was worth the potential risk to the economy. He spoke out against "dirty" energy again during his speech at the Democratic National Convention in September, 2012. The New York Times even called him "the most influential environmentalist in American politics," while The Washington Post classified him as a "climate change radical."
Meanwhile in Australia, the hedge fund that Steyer started and ran until at least 2013, Farallon Capital Management, was busy finalizing a transaction to create what is on track to become one of Australia's largest coal mining operations. This deal increased coal production in Australia by a staggering 70 million tons. Farallon's Australian coal mines were criticized by Greenpeace Australia and outspoken climate change alarmist James Hansen. Yet, Steyer's political action committee, Nextgen Climate, has cited Hansen at least four times on its website, and praised him as being a "REAL SCIENTIST." (Capital letters theirs.)
Steyer, the left's "green hero," is a walking contradiction and an opportunist. On the one hand, he regularly campaigned against fossil fuels and spent millions of dollars backing politicians who agree with him. With the other, he stacked up piles of cash he made off those fossil fuels -- sometimes at the same time.
Intent on getting his people elected, Steyer has spent an incredible $74 million on the election just in 2014, more than anyone else. His campaign tactics have ranged from aggressive to obnoxious to simply inaccurate. According to the Oct. 2, 2014, Washington Post, his operation "has paid for 7,050 ads in Senate races in Colorado, Iowa, Michigan and New Hampshire and in the Florida governor's race." The newspaper gave one of those ads four out of four "Pinocchios" for being factually inaccurate.
Even his "environmental" campaigning has benefitted his investments in "green" energy. In 2010, he spent $5 million to block California Proposition 23, which would have sought to lower "green" restrictions on businesses until unemployment dropped. In 2012, he backed California Proposition 39, which steered "$500 million toward energy-efficiency projects" in the state. Meanwhile, Steyer has created two renewable energy research programs at Stanford, and founded Advanced Energy Economy, a network of businesses that work together to advance "green" energy policies. Steyer has become a media favorite while he campaigned for legislation that would help him financially. The only thing that seemed certain where Steyer is concerned is that he was just getting started.
The Washington Post, The New York Times and Reuters, have all praised Steyer as a recovering capitalist, who had a "road to Damascus"-like conversion and divested from coal to become an environmental hero. But at least they reported on him. ABC, CBS and NBC didn't think one of the top liberal political funders was worthy of coverage -- doing just one story on his contributions since September 2011. The print media even suggested him as a possible future candidate for California governor.
Steyer did indeed divest from his hedge fund's coal, oil and natural gas holdings, but not until after the Australian coal deal went down. Far from being the environmental hero the media paint him as, Steyer is an opportunist. Now he has invested heavily in "green" energy alternatives -- and using his vast resources to try to ban everything else.
It's unclear how much Steyer made off of his deals. What is clear is that in 2008, he fell off of the Forbes Billionaire's List. In 2011, he was back on the list with $1.3 billion.
Essentially, Steyer bet on black, and then tried to make it illegal to bet on anything else.
This wasn't the only time that Steyer's actions have posed a glaring contradiction. Back in the early '90s, a group of Ivy League students launched a protest against Farallon and Steyer for trying to seize control of an aquifer in Colorado. Groups like the Rainforest Action Network, which would later tout Steyer as a hero, joined the protests, until eventually Steyer and his company backed off.
These protestors also criticized Farallon's use of the British Virgin Islands, a popular tax haven, as a base for investing some of its money. Consequently, another investment firm Steyer was a partner in, Hellman & Friedman LLC, helped to set up an insurance company on another popular tax haven island, Bermuda. However, the Bermuda tax haven was not brought up in the protests.
Despite being the biggest individual contributor to the 2014 election cycle, Steyer didn't seem to like the idea of being categorized as a liberal mega-donor. Ryan Lizza at the New Yorker recounted how Tom Steyer's brother Jim had told him that "a friend had asked him if he and Tom were aspiring to be the Koch brothers of the left. 'Yeah, I like that!' Jim replied. Tom dismissed the analogy. 'I completely disagree, because what they're doing is standing up for ideas that they profit from,' he said of the Kochs."
It is true that Steyer didn't just stand up for ideas that he profited from. He also profited from ideas that he claimed to stand against.

LGBTQ Community Members Commonly Delay Preventive Health Care
·By Komen Puget Sound
·In Community News, News
Transgender men and gender non-conforming people in our region commonly delay or never seek preventive health care, Susan G. Komen Puget Sound announced today in a release of findings from its research on LGBTQ experiences with providers. Based on the findings, Komen Puget Sound and a coalition of partners have begun to develop an LGBTQ breast health toolkit for health care providers and the LGBTQ community.
Komen Puget Sound Community Advocate Eli Grossman presents findings from his research about LGBTQ health care experiences in Western Washington.
The research found that only 60 percent of LGBTQ people age 50-74 have received their recommended mammogram in the past two years. This compares with 76 percent of the general population in the Komen Puget Sound region who received their recommended mammogram.
In addition, many of those interviewed did not understand the risk factors for breast cancer. Six out of 7 interviewees assigned male at birth said they received no information on breast health while they were growing up; and 3 out of 10 interviewees assigned female at birth also said they received no information on breast health.
Fifty-three percent of the LGBTQ community members said they always go to a provider who specializes in LGBTQ health or is sensitive to LGBTQ identities. Still, only 29% rate their provider as excellent in their ability to understand patients' gender identities and/or sexual orientation.
Through an online questionnaire of 74 and 17 in-person interviews, Komen Puget Sound Community Advocate Elijah Grossman surveyed members of the LGBTQ community about their experiences accessing health care. Access the full report here.

Patrick Reed wins Masters, holds off Fowler
AUGUSTA, Ga.— Patrick Reed became famous playing for his country. He won for himself on Sunday at the Masters.
Rory McIlroy came after him early. Jordan Spieth briefly tied him for the lead. Rickie Fowler birdied the last hole to leave him no room for error. Reed never flinched through it all on a raucous afternoon at Augusta National, calmly rolling in a 3-foot par putt for a 1-under 71 and a one-shot victory.
Captain America is now the Masters champion.
Even as the loudest cheers were for everyone else, Reed earned all the respect with two big birdie putts on the back nine, one key par and plenty of grit.
The 27-year-old Texan becomes the fourth straight Masters champion to win his first major.
Fowler holed an 8-foot birdie putt on the final hole for a 67. He had to settle for his third runner-up finish in a major. He left the scoring cabin when Reed two-putted for par down the slippery slope on the 18th green and waited for a chance to greet Reed.
"Glad I at least made the last one, make him earn it," Fowler said with a grin.
"You had to do it didn't you?" Reed told him as they exchanged a hug. "You had to birdie the last."
Spieth put up the most unlikely fight and was on the verge of the greatest comeback in Masters history. He started nine shots behind going into the final round, and was inches away on two shots from a chance at another green jacket. His tee shot on the 18th clipped the last branch in his way, dropping his ball some 267 yards from the green. His 8-foot par putt for a record-tying 63 narrowly missed on the right. He had to settle for a 64.
Reed won for the sixth time in his PGA Tour career, though he was best known for the trophies he shared at the Ryder Cup. He is ferocious in match play, especially the team variety, and his singles victory over McIlroy at Hazeltine in 2016 led to the nickname of Captain America.
McIlroy, meanwhile, will have to wait another year for a shot at the career Grand Slam. Trailing by three shots to start the final round, he closed to within one shot after two holes. That was as close as he came. McIlroy's putter betrayed him, and he was never a factor on the back nine. He closed with a 74 and tied for fifth.

Microsoft to Release Updated Office 365 for Mac
November 2, 2014 by Cindy McCauley
Microsoft has just announced that they are releasing an updated Office 365 software package for Mac users.
Microsoft have been taking a hiatus from building Mac Office software to focus on building their phones and tablets, making this the first update since late 2010.
The new Office 365 Suite however, will not be released until next year but in order to give customers a taste of what is to come, they have released the new Outlook email program.
Office 365 for Mac is one of the smallest markets for Microsoft, which is also why they probably felt it was ok to wait a few years before releasing a new version.
Microsoft have however, released Office software packages for iOS tablets and smartphones and they have proven to be quite lucrative for the company.
This new Office 365 subscription for Mac is expected to retail around $100 a year on subscription and will include Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, Excel and more.

Here is colorful postcard bearing a "patriotic" motif promoting Pan-Germanism in the Austrian-Hungarian was published around this period by the Verlag des Vereines "Südmark" or South Nation Association of Graz to support their organizational goals. Founded as part of the so-called Schulverein für Deutsche or Schools Association for Germans in the Austrian crown lands. They were an outspoken counterweight to the perceived advancement of the Czech languages being spoken and taught in community schools, where large numbers of Germans resided in ethnically mixed borderlands and Bohemia and Moravia.
The upper section states:, "To the brothers in the endangered Land – a warm and healful heart felt Land!" The lower section is hard to translate. I believe it's Old German. While the lower poem is written in older German and difficult to translate, but proclaims the need to defend the country against its enemies. Could someone look at it and please give me a translation?

Nice find. Apart from positioning itself as that aforementioned counterweight language wise, the Schulverein für Deutsche / Deutscher Schulverein Südmark was also distinctly antisemitic, largely großdeutsch, and in parts early (and, they way I see it, rather successful) promoters of national socialist ideas. I once had a look into that on a regional level, and quite a few names of people formerly having some function in the Schulverein would later pop up in some capacity in the NSDAP or some Gliederungen.
Interesting! I'm sure there was much cross over between the Schulverein für Deutsche and NSDAP. Thanks for you reply. It's a striking postcard and was trying to find some things about it. The woman looks like Germania and she holding an early Pan German Flag, but I don't understand the lower poem. I believe it's Old German and difficult to translate, but appears to be proclaiming the need to defend the country against its enemies. Could you look at it and please give me a translation?
It's loosely translated something along the lines of: In dark and stormy night, the enemy is approaching, wake from the mark in the south (Südmark), to defend German people and lands.
The poem in the upper part is fairly common.
Many thanks. I got nowhere translating the bottom poem. My German isn't that great and this appears to have been written in Old German: "Hei Wetternacht! Hei Sturmgebraus!"
I understands there about 600 Schulverein für Deutsche postcards issues around the turn of the last century and started to get interested in them, because they are distinctly antisemitic, largely großdeutsch, and in parts early (and, they way I see it, rather successful) promoters of national socialist ideas. Sadly, there hasn't been too many books about this period and the transition of the Schulverein für Deutsche to the Austrian Nazi DNSAP Party to the Munich NSDAP.
If you're interested in Schulverein cards, you might want to have a look at this little publication: Heinz Zimmermann, Postkarten Deutscher Schulverein Südmark, Vorläuferkarten, Sonderausgabenkarten, Ortsgruppenkarten, Baden (Austria) 2008. Overall you're right, the Schulverein has not received a whole lot attention in research, although it is mentioned again and again in passing.
By the way, it's "Bei Wetternacht! Bei Sturmgebraus!", plus I am somewhat surprised/irritated by what I read as "Hallo" in l. 3, as it does not seem to fit the overall tone of the rest of the poem.
And I didn't really understand the copy/past section of my own reply in your last paragraph, just sayin'.
Yes, the "Hallo" caught me off guard too. Not sure why that was the first word of the sentence. Sounds slightly odd. Maybe it was an expression that's now outdated. Also, many thanks for the "Bei Wetternacht! Bei Sturmgebraus!" correction.
In terms of the copy/pasting back to you of your previous comment, I was just agreeing with everything you had said. For years, I firmly believe Hitler got his political ideas from his early days in Vienna 1907-1913 more so than in Germany during the Great War and later on in Munich. I find it amazing that the Schulverein, Großdeutsch, Georg Ritter von Schönerer, early Austrian Pan German history doesn't receive too much attention. It's an interesting period that often gets overlooked by historians.
Isanbli,
Have three follow-up questions. Can "Hallo" have other meaning that might be more appropriate of the line? In the English language we can say, "Hello!" to imply it's time to wake-up or start thinking better. One could say, for example, "Hello, where is your brain?"
Is Heinz Zimmermann, Postkarten Deutscher Schulverein Südmark, Vorläuferkarten, Sonderausgabenkarten, Ortsgruppenkarten, Baden (Austria) 2008 book hard to find? Tried looking it up on eBay and couldn't locate it.
Also, over the past few years I've been trying to find early Austrian NSDAP postcards. There was a group in Vienna that produced some between 1919-1923 and I've acquired about eight of them. They're very basic and cheaply made, indicating a lack of funds for the time. The two most well know are the 1921 Nazi Christmas and News Years cards. Do you have any idea how many cards this small group produced?
ad 1) I honestly don't know. "Hallo/halloh" is already mentioned in Grimm's dictionary and defined as "lauter antreibender Zuruf", so the use in the poem might be less weird that I had thought.
ad 2) I believe the book was self-published, so it may well be it's not too easy to get your hands on it. Here's a link to a library holding that includes what seems to be the address of the author: http://search.obvsg.at/primo_library/li ... 6910003331
ad 3) Postcards in general and early Austrian Nazi postcards in particular are neither my field of interest, nor field of expertise, so I'm sorry I cannot be of any help here.
Many thanks for your kind assistance!

Special teams is the term used to describe the specialized group of players who take the field during kickoffs, free kicks, punts, and field goal attempts. Most football teams� special teams include one or more kickers, a long snapper (who specializes in accurate snaps over long distances), kick returners who catch and carry the ball after it is kicked by the opposing team, and blockers who defend during kicks and returns.
Some players may take the field as members of the offense or defense as well as the special teams; one notable example is Steven Smith, wide receiver for the NFL�s Carolina Panthers, who also played as a kick returner during the 2005 NFL season.
Although these are risky, there are a variety of strategic plays which can be attempted during kickoffs, punts, and field goals which can be used to surprise the opposition and (hopefully) score points.
The general goal of defensive strategy is to prevent the opposing team�s offense from scoring. While doing so, the defensive players may also attempt to gain control of the football and score points themselves. There are many different defensive strategies.
The 3-4 defense declined in popularity over the years, but has found renewed use by modern professional and college football teams. The 3-4 defense is so named because it involves 3 down linemen and 4 linebackers. There are usually 4 defensive backs.
The 3 down linemen attempt to break into the backfield in order to sack or rush the quarterback or to stop running backs and other players behind the line of scrimmage. The defensive line is made up of a nose tackle (NT), who lines up in front of the opposing team�s center and two defensive ends (DEs), who flank the nose tackle on both sides. Linemen in 3-4 schemes tend to be more massive than their 4-3 counterparts to take up more space and guard more territory along the defensive front.

Black Hole is a region in space where the gravitational force is so strong that nothing can leave the region. 42 year ago, Stephen Hawking predicted that black holes shrink because they emit electromagnetic radiation. Since then, this prediction was nothing but a theory as the radiation is too weak to observe using the technologies available today. But as science evolves, the mysteries that involve black holes begin to be revealed. What Stephen Hawking hypostasized back in 1974, is confirmed after all these years. A survey published recently in Nature Physics confirmed the theory and showed that, in some way, it is possible to escape the from the black hole.
During an event of CES 2014, Sony unveiled a small device that can be the core of many wearable devices to come - not only those who are released by the company. The device, called Core, will rely on battery that lasts for five days and is even able to send notifications via vibrations (Read more about Sony Core). For now, the main product that uses the Core is SmartBand SWR10. It is a smart wristband that works as a physical activities assistant.As you might guess, the operation is very simple: you put the device in your wrist and it begins to collect related data about your physical efforts.
However, due to the Core, the SmartBand does more than compute calories burned in races, for example. The bracelet from Sony can record data throughout your daily routine, showing if you sleep well, identifying movements made and even media used within the last 24 hours.
If you are a regular PC user, the biggest question on your mind is "How to make my PC run faster?" – I am quite sure about that. That's not an easy job at all as managing a faster system depends on many factors and failing on one will completely make no good. So, to get to know how to keep a new system fresh and fast or how to make a slower PC faster, you first need to know why the system goes slow overtime. There are real reasons behind this problem and we can't pass the fact that whatever you do, your system is surly going to end up taking decade just to boot up. All that we can do is to keep that moment away for a further bit. In this article we will explain what are the major reasons of a slow system and sluggish PC and what basic things we can do to prevent it. So, let's get started.
If you follow the news related to the gamer world, should remember the Rift glasses. The unit is facing an augmented reality concept – with the goal to get you to come closer to the stories of the games and have a completely different experience to have fun. The initial project is already very promising and made a lot of people interested with the prospect of a pair of augmented reality glasses that really worked. It turns out that the Oculus, the company behind Rift, is still searching for progress and improving their own product.
Because of this, at CES 2014, the company unveiled the prototype of Crystal Cove, which is a kind of evolution and successor of Rift. One major difference is the fact that the screen rely on OLED technology, so that latency is lower, reducing the image blur, a characteristic that was a deal breaker to some people.
Kicking off the press conference of CES 2014, NVIDIA came to public early on Monday (6) with its presentation. Onstage at The Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas, the company's CEO, Jen-Hsun Huang, talked mainly about three issues: new games, new Tegra K1 chip and automotive technologies. Opening the meeting, Huang talked about the recent news of the company and how they are forwarding it that NVIDIA believes is the future of gaming. The GeForce Experience and G-Sync technology were some of the examples cited.
In a demonstration, the Batman: Arkham Origins game was run on the PC and transmitted simultaneously via Shield, to a 4K TV. The latency rate during the display was very low, with virtually no loss of quality.
The international CES is one of the biggest event for electronics and technology showcase of the year. Each year technology fans and addicts look forward to this event which tends to showcase the upcoming technologies and concepts which may come to light later that year. This year's Consumer Electronics Show, CES 2014, which is scheduled for 7-10th January, should not be any different. This event should chosen by many companies to debut and display their innovativeness that should dominate our attention over the coming months. In addition, the event will also give space to statements of appliances and inventions that will help us to have a more accurate view of what the coming years are holding for the world of technology.
From the same developer of famous Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit is an application for Windows to prevent the attack of malicious applications on your computer through security vulnerabilities. Applying a constant monitoring of programs open on your computer, the software tries continuously to keep them protected from threats. For this, the program maintains a system of preventive protection (real-time) to detect all attempts to abuse and stop them immediately. It is worth mentioning that this application is still under development and testing (Beta) and may not always behave as expected, with bugs. Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit is a security utility, aimed to prevent zero-day attacks. Although this application doesn't work as a complete replacement of an updated and full-featured antivirus program, the idea is simply to increase their degree of tranquility while surfing the internet.

The program provides simple tools for you to create GIFs from any video available on the web or on your PC. Choose framerate, start point, duration and get the best and funniest animations.
The American space agency, NASA, recently released the report of the Grail mission, which lasted nine months in lunar research. Scientists have unraveled the mysteries of the gravitational force of the Earth's natural satellite, the moon, which might have formed from the impact of asteroids and comets on its surface.
NASA believes that understanding the phenomenon makes it possible to increase the accuracy of satellites navigation that end up being affected by gravitational variations. The researchers also point out that knowing the structure of the Moon is essential to understand the changes since its formation of about 4.5 billion years.
If you are one of those computer use who have tons of application installed in there pc, then you must be familiar with the case that each time you turn on your computer, some software start working with the system and then it does not take more than a few seconds for a window to pop up reporting that an update is available for either of your existing application. When it comes to a update notification from anti-virus or some plugin, we know that the update brings more security to your computer. However, in most situations you will not notice any difference in operation after update though those update were important.
Today, let's talk about this trickery adopted by Google and Mozilla to make their browser more popular.
You would probably remember what you studied in school about the process of evolution of stars, but the information you know may be incorrect or at least incomplete,as it is believed by a team of Australian research. Simon Campbell, specialist of stellar theory from Monash University, found evidence in old papers which suggests that some stars do not follow the pattern as they should follow according to science. Until now, scientists believed that mass stars similar to the Sun pass through a phase at the end of their lives that would occur in a huge burning of nuclear fuel, which would cause much of the mass of the stars were lost in the form of dust and gases.
What is the best selling phone model in the world today? Leaving the past behind, the first names that come to mind today are Samsung Galaxy S3 and Apple iPhone 5. Both devices vying for market leadership today, but you would be surprised to know they would hardly come up on the list of world's best selling phones of all time. In the '90s and the first decade of the 21st century, Nokia was the company that captured the biggest amount of mobile phone consumers. The company is the manufacturer for the most of bestsellers released to date and, even with the higher volume of sales today, yet the sales leaders in the world need to do much to achieving similar numbers.
Check out our list which are the 15 most phones sold today. Can you guess which model will be the winner?

FBI Agent Charged with Lying About Shooting at Oregon Anti-Government Standoff
June 29, 2017 • by Staff Writer
A member of the F.B.I.'s elite Hostage Rescue Team involved in a deadly confrontation last year with a prominent anti-government protester in Oregon has been indicted on charges of lying and obstruction, according to federal court documents.
The indictment of the agent, Joseph Astarita, 40, is a blow to the reputation of the hostage team, which carries out the bureau's riskiest missions in the United States and abroad, the New York Times reports.
Astarita was accused of lying to supervisors about firing his weapon in the effort to arrest Robert Finicum, known as LaVoy, who was killed during a standoff at a remote federal wildlife refuge in January 2016. Finicum led a small band of armed militants who said that the federal land had been improperly taken from area ranchers and demanded that it be returned to local or private control.
Astarita pleaded not guilty to all five counts on Wednesday in Portland, Ore., and was released pending court appearances. An F.B.I. spokesman declined to discuss the case but said Astarita had been assigned to administrative duty.

Q: How to show BottomNavigation CoordinatorLayout in Android In my application I want show BottomNavigation bottom of CoordinatorLayout and for this I write below code :

                layout="@layout/toolbar_main" />

        </android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout>

    </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

    <com.aurelhubert.ahbottomnavigation.AHBottomNavigationViewPager

        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"

        app:layout_anchorGravity="bottom"
        app:selectedBackgroundVisible="true" />

</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

But when run application show me BottomNavigation top of CoordinatorLayout!
How can I show BottomNavigation bottom of CoordinatorLayout ?

A: I hope the answer is not too late. I just had the same problem, I used android:layout_gravity="bottom".
I have a Toolbar, a BottomNavigationView, and in the middle, I have a FrameLayout that is used as a placeholder for a fragment. Here is my XML layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  android:background="@drawable/bg_main"
  android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize">

<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
    android:id="@+id/toolbar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@color/colorTab"
    app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"
    />
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

<FrameLayout
    android:id="@+id/fragment_placeholder"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
    >

    <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
        android:id="@+id/slide_viewpager"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

</FrameLayout>

<android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
    android:id="@+id/bottom_navigation"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="bottom"
    app:itemBackground="@color/colorTab"
    app:itemIconTint="@drawable/bottom_navigation_toolbar"
    app:itemTextColor="@drawable/bottom_navigation_toolbar"
    app:menu="@menu/bottom_bar"
    />

</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

Also check out this question, it uses almost the same layout, and it also shows how to change the behavior of the BottomNavigationView so that it hides when you scroll. If you wish to implement that feature make sure to create the class BottomNavigationBehavior (or whatever you want to call it) and add this line to your BottomNavigationView in XML:
app:layout_behavior="com.yourpackage.yourpackage.BottomNavigationBehavior"

Hope it helps!

A: This helps me resolve the issue of bottom of view going behind bottom navigation bar.
I have resolved it by:

*

*adding app:layout_behavior="com.google.android.material.behavior.HideBottomViewOnScrollBehavior"
to the BottomNavigationView.

*Changing the parent layout of ActivityMain to CoordinatorLayout &

*Adding android:layout_gravity="bottom" to BottomNavigationView.

'I'm going to stab you': Woman jailed for six years over knife attack
Melanie Ann Burnell, 20, sentenced to six years jail for a stabbing attack on Shane Boylan following an alcohol-fuelled argument
Eryl Crump
Melanie Ann Burnell of Maes Cybi, Holyhead
Sign up to our weekly Anglesey newsletter
A woman who attacked a man with a kitchen knife after he made an insulting remark about her mother has been jailed for six years.
Melanie Ann Burnell, 20, of Maes Cybi, Holyhead stabbed Shane Boylan, now 24, once in the abdomen, a judge at Caernarfon Crown Court heard.
Mr Boylan, also from Holyhead, was rushed to hospital after the incident in the New Park Road and Maes Cybi area in the early hours of November 24 last year.
He required emergency surgery and 24 stitches inserted in the wound.
The court heard he has been left permanently scarred by the attack.
Sentencing Judge Philip Hughes said: "People who use knives must expect courts to deal with them robustly."
He added there were several aggravating features in the offence including an element of premeditation and that it was a determined attack.
Gordon Hennell, prosecuting, said Burnell and the victim had been out in Holyhead that evening and had met up in the Maes Cybi area.
Both had drunk considerable quantities of alcohol.
"They knew each other and he engaged her in conversation. Mr Boylan has no recollection of making the remark but others nearby heard it.
"Burnell was seen to run to the house and return with a large kitchen knife and run towards Mr Boylan shouting 'I'm going to stab you.'
"She made several lunges towards him and stabbed him once in the abdomen.
"She immediately realised what she had done and went to his aid and apologised for what she had done.
"But it must be said she did try to hide the knife in a drain but it was later recovered."
Police and paramedics were called and as Mr Boylan was taken to hospital Burnell was arrested.
Mr Hennell said she was interviewed later and accepted taking the knife and using it following the insulting remark.
Kim Halsall, for Burnell, said the incident arose because she had drunk "far too much alcohol".
"I accept that is not mitigation but puts the incident in context.
"I hope the court accepts this young lady is truly sorry and remorseful," the lawyer said.
Burnell wept as sentence was passed.
Members of her family, who were also in court, were also in tears.
After the hearing DC Catrin Hughes welcomed the sentence saying it was important the courts sent out a strong message that violent offences will not be tolerated.
She said: "I'm relieved that following surgery the victim has made a full recovery but his injuries could have been a lot worse and we cannot emphasise enough the dangers of knives."

Denuvo version 5.2 has been cracked which means another dent in the company's claims of being the best anti-temper. The war between pirates and DRM company Denuvo isn't going too well for the later.
The cracked version of Denuvo version 5.2 means we can expect to see cracked versions of games like Mega Man 11 and Football Manager 19 soon. Interestingly, Hitman 2 and Battlefield 5 may release with Denuvo version 5.2 as well considering how close to release these titles are. This means that Battlefield 5 and Hitman 2 could be cracked within 24 hours.
Pirates who cracked Denuvo 5.2 are using the moniker FCKDRM'. What's fascinating is that Denuvo version 4.9 is yet to be cracked. Games like FIFA 19, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and Monster Hunter World aren't available to download via torrent.
The cat and mouse fight between Denuvo and pirates have proved how companies are failing to protect their products. But this doesn't mean they will stop trying to fend-off piracy. Denuvo is now taking legal action against hackers.
The company filed a complaint with the Bulgarian police who managed to identify one of the hackers, Voksi, the founder of "Revolt." The authorities took his personal belongings including his computers. Once caught, Voksi vowed to drop his hacking activities.
Reddit and other piracy focused platforms are raising money to defend Voksi in the court of law. However, their efforts may not prove to be fruitful as he had confessed to his activities.
Denuvo released the following statement in regards to the case.
Denuvo admitted defeat by saying every game can be cracked. However, the company's goal now is to protect sales for as long as possible. The most important time of any game's release is its launch week and that's where Denuvo DRM comes in.
But since Battlefield 5 and Hitman 2 might be using 5.2, which is already cracked, pirated versions of these games may be available release. Battlefield 5 already had a rocky start thanks to Black Ops 4 and community backlash over its toxic political agenda.
Battlefield 5 is releasing later this month so we will see if the game uses version 5.2 of Denuvo DRM. If it does, it would be cracked as soon as it comes out. Possibly before release even if its files leak online. Of course, players won't be able to play the game online. Meanwhile, Hitman 2 is a story driven game which means players will have access to the entire game.
