Verizon Wireless is the largest US wireless operator nationwide with over 100 million customers and claims to provide the best coverage.
Verizon Wireless previously adopted CDMA technology, and was one of the world's largest CDMA networks. It launched a 4G network using the global LTE standard in 2010, and plans to sunset CDMA at end 2020, migrating all customers to 4G supplemented by 5G in many areas.
During the period when it was primarily CDMA based, Verizon did not have the option to launch a WiFi dual-mode phone service using UMA, which T-Mobile US provided. Fewer vendors were prepared to develop CDMA Femtocells because of the very small market (Verizon, Sprint in the USA and perhaps one or two Asian networks), and so their unit cost was quite high. Migrating to the worldwide 4G LTE standard has greately increased the number of potential suppliers.
3G CDMA Femtocell
Verizon launched their 2G CDMA femtocell on 26th January 2009 using on Samsung's Ubicell, the same product as Sprint had initially used for Airave. Verizon's service is called "Verizon Network Extender" and sells for a one-off price of $249 - there are no ongoing charges and no discounted rates when using it. Effectively, this competes directly with a repeater, available from many retail stores. It does require a broadband connection, but is simple to install.
A 3G CDMA femtocell, also supplied by Samsung, was launched in October 2010. This has additional capacity, handling up to 6 voice calls, and high speed data service using EV-DO technology. Pricing is the same as for the 2G model.
This product is no longer for sale. Verizon plan to terminate their 3G CDMA network at the end of 2020 after which time these devices would no longer work.
Several end users have commented on their experience with the product.
Blogger Kenneth Finnegan is pretty happy with it, saying:
- Good range, audio quality, easy setup
- Internet broadband usage is less than expected during calls
- GPS signal is required for operation, but an external antenna can be connected via co-ax cable included in the box. (He incorrectly states this is for location finding for emergency calls - partially correct, it's also needed to determine what spectrum is available at that location, whether Verizon is allowed to operate there and to provide timing and synchronisation signals for effective performance and handover to external cellsites).
- Feels that the price is still a little on the high side, but happy that there's no ongoing charges/premium fees.
However, there have been a couple of significant nationwide outages of the system, which caused complaints at the time.
This one - from July 2010 - relates to the original 2G Samsung solution.
4G LTE Network Extender
Verizon introduced a 4G LTE Network Extender product from Samsung in 2016, and subsequently updated to version 2, currently on offer for $249.99 with no ongoing monthly fees.
It does NOT support 3G CDMA, so requires phones to make all voice calls using VoLTE.
It can handle up to 14 mobile devices concurrently and is aimed at the smaller enterprise marketplace.

Just checked Verizon web site and they are now selling it for $199.99 (7/25/2010)

Answer given by Mr Várhelyi on behalf of the European Commission
Written question
Already in June 2018, the Council stated that Turkey was moving away from the European Union and remarked that Turkey's accession negotiations had come to a standstill.
This assessment has been repeated consistently since then and the underlying facts leading to this assessment still hold. Any decision to formally end accession negotiations would be for EU Member States to take, according to the provisions of the negotiating framework.
As Turkey remains a candidate country, it is also eligible for pre-accession funding. Nevertheless, due to backsliding in democracy, rule of law and fundamental rights, the EU cut EUR 1.3 billion (30%) from the Turkey financial envelope during the 2014-2020 period. Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA) III funds are focusing on priority areas rather than country envelopes.
This allows to reward performance and progress made by the enlargement countries on key priorities. In addition, a large part of EU funding is channelled to independent civil society organisations and supporting people to people exchanges, which are EU policy priorities. These funds do not benefit the authorities directly.
In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EU) 2019/1896 on the European Border and Coast Guard[1]1], the Member States retain primary responsibility for the management of their sections of the external borders of the EU.
Follow-up information on the work of the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex) will be provided by the Commission to the Honourable Member as soon as possible.

Antonio Brown reacts to suspension, promises 'best season of my career'
Antonio Brown vowed to deliver "the best season" of his career after the wide receiver learned he would be suspended for the first eight games of the 2020 NFL season.
The 32-year-old finally discovered his fate Friday as the league suspended the seven-time Pro Bowler for half of the 2020 regular season due to "multiple violations of the NFL's personal conduct policy." Brown had been the subject of an NFL investigation following accusations of sexual misconduct and an incident in January where the receiver pleaded no contest to burglary and battery charges.
He has remained unsigned since last September, when he was cut by the Patriots after just one game having previously been released by the Raiders, for whom he never played a down before being let go amid a slew of off-field incidents.
Despite announcing his retirement earlier in the month, and at various points in the offseason, Brown said on Instagram he expects to play in 2020.
I look forward to new beginnings. I want to be the best version of myself on and off the field, and I will do my best to be a great teammate. I appreciate the NFL giving me the opportunity to continue to work on myself and improve. I am thankful and grateful for this opportunity to play a game that I truly love and I look forward to joining a new team soon. Thank you to my family and all those that have supported me. I will show the fans my appreciation for this second chance by having the best season of my career. #AB2.0 #Himmothy

"I look forward to new beginnings," Brown wrote. "I want to be the best version of myself on and off the field, and I will do my best to be a great team-mate. I appreciate the NFL giving me the opportunity to continue to work on myself and improve. I am thankful and grateful for this opportunity to play a game that I truly love and I look forward to joining a new team soon. Thank you to my family and all those that have supported me. I will show the fans my appreciation for this second chance by having the best season of my career."
Brown signed off the post with the hashtag "#AB2.0."
Having entered the league with the Steelers in 2010, Brown has amassed 11,263 receiving yards and caught 75 touchdowns in his career.
Reigning MVP Lamar Jackson this week lobbied for Brown to return to the AFC North and join the quarterback with the Ravens, where his cousin, Marquise Brown, currently plays.

How Long Would It Really Take To Get To Mars?
By Karen Corday/Dec. 31, 2020 4:39 pm EST
The idea of human beings living on Mars still seems like something straight out of science fiction, but according to Florida Today, astronauts and other experts in the astronomy field fully expected human Mars colonies to exist by now. In 2019, astronaut Mae Jemison, who made history in 1992 by becoming the first Black woman to travel into space, told students at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, "I just assumed by the time I got to be old enough to go into the space program ... we'd be living on Mars or I'd be working on Mars just as a scientist."
According to NASA administrator Jim Bridenstein, the technology that enables people to travel to Mars exists, but the funds to make it happen do not. United States presidents from George H.W. Bush to Donald Trump have declared a trip to Mars a priority within the American space program, but not enough funding has come in over the last 30 years. Per NASA, the agency is currently working on a project intended to put human beings back on the moon by 2024 and then plans to "establish sustainable missions" by 2028. Of course, as noted by Bridenstein, "we just need bipartisan support and the resources to get this done."
If Federal funding came through, or if professional space fan Elon Musk follows through on his company Space X's plan to get to Mars, as detailed on SpaceX's website, just how long would it take to get there?
Mars is really, really far away
Per Space, the distance between Earth and Mars is constantly changing due to the fact that they are both always orbiting around the sun. Theoretically, the closest they could possibly be would be when Mars is close as possible to the sun while Earth is as far as possible to the sun, which would put them approximately 33.9 million miles apart. This has never actually happened. The shortest distance ever recorded between Mars and Earth was 34.8 million miles in 2003. The average distance between the two planets is 140 million miles.
According to the BBC, it's only every two years that the planets are in the perfect position to travel from Earth to Mars using the least possible amount of rocket fuel. One of those ideal years was 2020, hence the recent flurry of spacecraft launched for Mars from the United States, the United Arab Emirates, and China. The journey takes about seven months of space travel, provided there are no difficulties that hold things up. Then there's the "seven minutes of terror" that come with landing on Mars. Spacecraft must enter Mars's atmosphere, which is 100 times thinner than the Earth's, at precisely the correct angle, otherwise they'll either burn up or bounce off. The surface of Mars is incredibly uneven and rocky, which presents another challenge to accomplishing a safe landing. All told, the long trip to Mars is just one of many challenges involved in the quest to explore the red planet in person.

Á. B. Collins, D. Barrett, M. L. Doherty, M. Larska and J. F. Mee. Post-epidemic Schmallenberg virus circulation: parallel bovine serological and Culicoides virological surveillance studies in Ireland. BMC Veterinary Research. 2016 Oct 18;12(1):234. DOI 10.1186/s12917-016-0865-7
Background Schmallenberg virus (SBV) emerged in northern-Europe in 2011 resulting in an epidemic of ruminant abortions and congenital malformations throughout the continent. In the years following the epidemic there have been reports of SBV overwintering and continued circulation in several European countries. When the population-level of immunity declines in exposed regions, re-introduction of SBV could result in further outbreaks of Schmallenberg disease. The aims of this study were to determine the SBV seroprevalence in previously exposed Irish dairy herds in 2014 and to investigate if SBV continued to circulate in these herds in the three years (2013–2015) following the Irish Schmallenberg epidemic. Whole-herd SBV serosurveillance was conducted in 26 herds before (spring) and following the 2014 vector-season (winter), and following the 2015 vector-season (winter). In spring 2014, 5,531 blood samples were collected from 4,070 cows and 1,461 heifers. In winter 2014, 2,483 blood samples were collected from 1,550 youngstock (8–10 months old) and a subsample (n = 933; 288 cows, 645 heifers) of the seronegative animals identified in the spring. Youngstock were resampled in winter 2015. Culicoides spp. were collected in 10 herds during the 2014 vector-season and analysed for SBV; a total of 138 pools (3,048 Culicoides) from 6 SBV vector species were tested for SBV RNA using real-time PCR. Results In spring 2014, animal-level seroprevalence was 62.5 % (cows = 84.7 %; heifers = 0.6 %). Within-herd seroprevalence ranged widely from 8.5 %–84.1 % in the 26 herds. In winter 2014, 22 animals (0.9 %; 10 cows, 5 heifers, 7 youngstock) originating in 17 herds (range 1–4 animals/herd) tested seropositive. In winter 2015 all youngstock, including the 7 seropositive animals in winter 2014, tested seronegative suggesting their initial positive result was due to persistence of maternal antibodies. All of the Culicoides pools examined tested negative for SBV-RNA. Conclusions SBV appears to have recirculated at a very low level in these herds during 2013 and 2014, while there was no evidence of SBV infection in naïve youngstock during 2015. A large population of naïve animals was identified and may be at risk of infection in future years should SBV re-emerge and recirculate as it has done in continental Europe.

Harleston Magpies Ladies rounded off their East Conference campaign with a home win at the weekend to confirm a top-half finish.
They beat visitors Bedford 3-2 to end the season in fifth position with 22 points from their 18 fixtures.
Magpies started in a determined manner with the forward line putting the Bedford defence under a lot of pressure. The breakthrough came after Magpies' captain Lucy Belsey quickly took a free-hit on the right and delivered a pin-point cross which Lucy Whiting deflected in off her reverse stick.
Magpies continued to look confident on the ball, with the back three working the transfer around the pitch to change the point of attack and the midfield passing the ball fluidly. Wide midfielders Annie Nunn and Charlie Harrison worked tirelessly to support the attack and create chances.
After a good run and shot from Lizzie Clymer was saved the ball fell to Laura Tibbenham, who cooly doubled her side's tally on her National League debut.
Bedford grew with confidence as the half went on and had their own spell of dominance but the hosts stood strong and went in at the break two goals to the good.
Bedford came out of the blocks strong after the interval and got on the scoresheet 13 minutes into the second half with a well-struck short corner.
With now only a one goal lead Magpies kept working hard to keep possession and play their own game. They nearly found the net when Lauren Rowe dived to deflect the ball, only for it to trickle along the goal line.
Magpies finally regained their two-goal advantage with eight minutes remaining after another run from Clymer who this time squared to Emma Lee-Smith in space to fire home.
This advantage lasted only two minutes as Bedford scored their second. The ball having looped up and over Charlotte Peet in goal, the visiting forward reacted quickly to deflect home.
With time running out Magpies tried to slow the game, keep possession and limit any final Bedford attacks in the closing stages.
Despite some determined play from the visitors in spells, they were unable to find an equaliser and the game finished 3-2.

Thirty years ago, fearful of India's newly acquired nuclear weapons, Pakistan set out on its own quest to become a nuclear weapons state. Lacking a strong technological base, it secretly searched the world's industrialized countries for what was needed. Few could have imagined then that the move from buyer to seller of the world's deadliest technology would be so swift.
But spectacular revelations beginning late last year by Iran, and later Libya, have forced Pakistan's president, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, to launch an investigation of Pakistani involvement in secret transfers of vital nuclear weapons information and equipment to Iran, North Korea and Libya. Musharraf has conceded the existence of "an underworld of people" in Pakistan who, out of "personal greed," could have sold nuclear secrets.
The figure at the center of the crisis is Dr. A.Q. Khan, Pakistan's most celebrated bomb maker and a national hero, who was fired on Saturday from his job as science adviser to Pakistan's prime minister. In his heyday, Khan was accustomed to adulation and worship. His procurement, by whatever means, of secret centrifuge designs from a Dutch consortium in the mid-1970s was critical to Pakistan's successful nuclearization. With unlimited government resources at his disposal, and free of auditing restrictions, Khan, a metallurgist who is often wrongly referred to as a nuclear scientist, managed to purchase restricted items, which companies in Europe and the United States were willing to sell for the right price, no questions asked. In the process, Khan became a wealthy man.
Today, he and several close associates find that the laws of powerful nations cannot be spurned as easily as those of the state they have claimed to defend. Forced by the international community (read: the United States), Pakistan has put Khan and his cohorts on notice. Inspections of Iran's nuclear facilities by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) revealed centrifuges and traces of highly enriched uranium, and Iran pinpointed Pakistan as the source. A British expert who recently accompanied agency inspectors into Iran identified Iranian centrifuges as being identical to the Dutch design that Khan secretly obtained.
And yet it is unlikely that Khan will be convicted in a Pakistani court, because that would involve a head-on collision with the country's religious parties and with a public that has been led to believe that Khan's development of the bomb guaranteed Pakistan's security.
While the IAEA and U.S. intelligence may claim credit for having discovered the fountain of nuclear proliferation, Khan widely and openly advertised his wares over the past decade. Every year -- including 2003, when the proliferation controversy was already hot -- Islamabad was festooned with colorful banners advertising international workshops on "Vibrations In Rapidly Rotating Machinery" and "Advanced Materials," sponsored by the Dr. A.Q. Khan Research Laboratories (also known as the Kahuta Laboratories), Pakistan's key uranium enrichment facility.
Over the years, Khan and his collaborators also published a number of papers on issues regarding the technical means for enabling centrifuge rotors to spin at supersonic speeds without disintegrating, which is essential for making bomb-grade uranium. They could scarcely have been more blatant. But to make absolutely certain, Kahuta issued glossy brochures that were aimed at classified organizations but were easily obtained on the Kahuta Web site.
But Khan's nuclear bravado was of little concern to any of Pakistan's governments, civil or military. Indeed, since May 1998, when the country conducted several underground nuclear tests, Pakistan has flaunted its nuclear status in a manner wholly different from the world's other nuclear-armed countries. Nuclear nationalism was the order of the day as governments vigorously promoted the bomb as the symbol of Pakistan's high scientific achievement, national determination and self-respect, and as the harbinger of a new Muslim era. Publicly funded nuclear shrines still litter the country. One, a fiberglass model of the nuclear-blasted Chaghai mountain, stands at the entrance to Islamabad, bathed at night in a garish, orange light. Pakistan's political parties, secular and Islamic, rushed to claim ownership after the nuclear tests; elites and the masses all saw in the bomb a sign that Pakistan could succeed at something. With great pomp and ceremony, the bomb makers were turned into national heroes.
With international outrage over its proliferation growing, the bomb threatens to become a noose around Pakistan's neck. For Musharraf's government, Khan's mega-ton ego and his escapades over the past decade and a half are now a nightmare. Even as the Iranian revelation catapulted Pakistan to the forefront of the world's attention, Khan threw down the gauntlet last month by declaring in a television interview: "Who made the atom bomb? I made it. Who made the missiles? I made them for you." Responding to calls by the Islamic parties to defend the bomb makers, thousands have taken to the streets of Pakistani cities in the past week to protest investigations into the activities of Khan and others. Qazi Hussain Ahmad, leader of Jamaat-e-Islami, has called for Khan's exoneration even if he "has made millions of dollars, because he has saved Pakistan."
The investigation is likely to raise more issues than it settles. While Musharraf has said that "There is no such evidence that any government personality or military personality was involved," this attempt to ascribe all wrongdoing to a few greedy individual scientists will find few takers. Nor should it.
Since its inception, Pakistan's nuclear program has been squarely under army supervision. A multi-tiered security system was headed by a lieutenant general (now, two) with all nuclear installations and personnel kept under the tightest possible surveillance. Diplomatic immunity was insufficient to prevent a physical roughing up of the French ambassador to Pakistan some years ago when he journeyed to a point several miles from the enrichment facility. Kahuta was considered sensitive to the point that Benazir Bhutto, the former prime minister, claims that even while in office she could not receive clearance to visit the labs. In such an extreme security environment, it would be amazing to miss the travel abroad of senior scientists, engineers and administrators, their meetings with foreign nationals, and the transport and transfer of classified technical documents and components, if not whole centrifuges.
While individual gain may have been part of the motivation, the substantial cause lies elsewhere. From the inception of the bomb program, Pakistan's establishment has sought to turn its nuclear ambitions and success into larger gains. For one, it wanted (and gained) the support of hundreds of millions of Muslims the world over by claiming to provide a Muslim success story. (That this involved replicating a 60-year-old technology for mass destruction is a sad commentary on the state of the Muslim world.) For another, it enabled Pakistan to enjoy considerable financial and political benefits from oil-rich Arab countries. Among others, Libya reportedly bankrolled Pakistan and may even have supplied raw uranium. After Pakistan's nuclear tests six years ago, the Saudi government gave an unannounced gift of $4 billion worth of oil spread over five years to tide Pakistan over during its difficulties caused by international sanctions.
The transfers to North Korea are more prosaic. Having developed the bomb, Pakistan needed missiles to deliver them. North Korea was willing to supply them, for a price. Like the Dutch centrifuges, all Kahuta had to do was put them together and stick a star and crescent on them.
These deals and transfers of technology apparently took place from about 1987 until 1995. Musharraf is reported to have given Secretary of State Colin L. Powell his "four hundred percent assurance" that no such interchange is taking place now. This may be enough for now, given Musharraf's solid support for U.S. moves against al Qaeda.
Whether moved by money or faith, Pakistan's bomb makers, like the bomb itself, have seriously compromised the country's international standing and security. Two years ago, it was scientists from the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission who, in a fit of Islamic solidarity, went to Afghanistan and met with Osama bin Laden and the Taliban. It is hard to believe they were the only ones so inclined.
Pakistan will have to put its nuclear house in order. Anything less than strict and complete accountability, regardless of rank or reputation, will leave the door open for those who may wish to try their luck, or in whom the fire of faith burns brighter. My country's loose nukes underscore a global danger that may already be out of control.
Nuclear secrets will keep leaking as long as the bomb has value as a currency of power and prestige. Humanity's best chance of survival lies in creating taboos against nuclear weapons, much as those that already exist for chemical and biological weapons, and to work rapidly toward their global elimination. To do away with the bomb, bomb technology and the menace of their proliferation will require the United States, as the world's only superpower, to take the lead by reducing its own nuclear arsenal, as well as dealing with all proliferators, including its ally Israel, at the same level.
Pervez Hoodbhoy is professor of nuclear physics at Quaid-e-Azam University in Islamabad, Pakistan.


Some one asked me a question about when you install a roof top HVAC system and there are weatherproof receptacles installed within 25' of the unit. Say this install is on a large commercial building. The first unit from tenant A is next to tenant B's unit. Tenant A has a WP recpt. within 25'all is OK. Does tenant B need a receptacle within 25'? Will tenant A's fullfill the requirement?
Yes, 'B' will need one. IF tenent 'A' becomes vacant, with power terminated, then there is no receptacle available. Also, 'A' may not appreciate 'Bs' use of their power, although it is minimal at best guess.
I agree with John. The only way I think I could accept that is if it was on the house panel.
I don't have any code references that say that a receptacle for the roof top HVAC has to be fed from any particular source. This to me is a landlord/tenant issue. Greg's house panel might be the best answer. I just went through this with the sign circuits for a strip mall, where the sign circuits came out of the house panel which was in a locked room. Nothing in the code says that is illegal either.
Had one job where one tenant was plugging in his Xmas lights into a service receptacle for his next door tenants HVAC unit.
Every shell I've constructed had 'festive lighting' circuits on the house panel AND across a timing switch.
Well, Tesla, consider your future tenants lucky!
Code only says there be power for the convenience of the serviceman. Code is silent as to where that power comes from - or whether it is there under every tenancy circumstance.As the code is wriiten, you could meet the requirement if your neighbors' house had a receptcle nearby. 25 ft. is 25 ft!
A major part of my work has been in remodelling these types of commercial spaces. Joining units, dividing units, moving walls about. It's pretty hard to tell what the future will bring.
A similar situation arises with the ICC requirement for 'lighting the path of egress.' With every remodel, the new tenant gets to 'improve' the landlords' building.
I call it a design matter, and not a compliance issue. Code is supposed to be 'minimal' and 'practical.' That there might be a more elegant solution is not the question.
I understand where you are coming from with reference to the 'neighbors' receptacle, and the verbage as written within the NEC. That is the reason I did not reference a code article.
As to using the neighbors electricity, that may be stretched out to a 'theft of services' type issue, and again NOT an NEC issue. Imagine that scenario with two neighbors that are not friends!
Yse, it is a design issue, no I cannot put a 'code' article on it for a violation, and I must add...I have never come accross this issue as an inspector. Both in new construction, tenant fit-ups, or replacement RTUs.
John, I'm sure that such juice is stolen at every opportunity.
BTW, these were well engineered major shell projects.
I'm not saying there are no 'juice thieves' here on the east coast, and yes I know a few.
My point, I have not had anyone argue/dispute the RT receptacle within 25'. A lot of the new RTUs have the GFI within the RTU, fed by a 120 volt circuit.
Or you could suggest that they bite the bullet and install a combination swtich/receptacle where the receptacle is tapped off the line side. It saves the cost of running a separate 120V circuit so it might work out to the same installed costs when all is said and done.

Dot.IL's Can't Compete with CNN's War Reports
By Tania Hershman | December 22, 2000
[JERUSALEM] This week saw continuing carnage among "dot.ILs," but it is not just startups who are struggling for survival; as the Nasdaq plunges, publicly traded Israeli companies are wondering how to persuade CNN-watching investors that Israel's political situation is not affecting business - yet.
"The American institutional investors fear that the war-like situation is threatening the operational status of Israeli companies traded on the Nasdaq, many of which, although their management is in the U.S., have research and development centers in Israel," said Rami Rosen, a technology analyst with Oscar Gruss in Tel Aviv.
For example, edutainment company Multimedia K.I.D. said this week that it has run out of operating funds and will cease trading.
Those companies who seemed to be flying high above all of the turmoil have proven to be just as vulnerable. Gilat Communications (GICOF) , a leader in satellite connectivity, was trading Thursday at $2.68, down from a 52 week high of $45.75. Integrated messaging company Commtouch was down to $4.50 from a high of $68.50.
Even Israeli stalwart Check Point Software, the firewall market leader, which was ascending as Nasdaq plunged, had dropped Thursday from a 52-week high of $177.88 to $122.43.
While Israeli companies on Nasdaq suffer from the same current investor insecurities over impending profit warnings as everyone else, this additional concern over the effects on business of political instability and violence - although it may be unfounded - only adds to their worries.
"In an extreme situation, if Israel was at war with seven Arab countries, they would be affected," said Rosen. "But with the situation we are experiencing right now, I don't think there is any effect at all."
However, trying to calm investors who spend all day watching international news on television is an impossible task, Rosen said.
"In this battle, the public relations battle, [Israeli companies] have lost," he said. "Not because they cannot do good PR, but because the impact of CNN is much more significant."
This is affecting the private arena, too.
Membiz, which israel.internet.com reported just two weeks ago was looking for investors for its online peer-to-peer trading platform, appears not have found them. The company laid of five out of nine staff members, local press said this week.
Other casualities of the dot-bombing include text-mining startup Expertease and online music distribution company MusicMarc. Neither company responded to requests for comment.
Internet advertising technology company Adwise said that it was downsizing in Israel, but in the same breath anounced the appointment of new vice presidents for global marketing and for North American sales.
Investment firm Tri-United Technologies, is also cutting staff in its Jerusalem office.
"Tri-United has let go seven of its 18 employees in Israel," said company press spokesman Ido Atiya, owner of the DoubleClick public relations agency. "With the situation as it is here, Tri-United, which has U.S. offices in Chicago, has decided that it will not be focusing so heavily on investing in Israeli companies and is therefore cutting back the local team."
The situation is epitomized in an announcement appearing in an Israeli high tech e-mail newsletter published by Dolev and Abromovitch on Thursday:
"A chief financial officer from a hi-tec

It's official: Dairy Milk is bringing back this beloved chocolate bar
Kayleigh Dray
Back in the eighties, we had all the best things: we were bopping along to our Sony Walkmans, attempting to gobble up ghosts with Pac-Man, and wearing the biggest and boldest hairstyles, earrings and shoulder-pads we could find.
But, as is so always the case, it's the retro food we're most nostalgic for (think Slush Puppies, Space Raiders crisps, Sex on the Beach cocktails, and Pez sweet dispensers, to name but four).
Which makes Cadbury's latest announcement all the more exciting: it has confirmed it's set to bring back one of its most iconic chocolate bars ever...
Read more: Cadbury unveils new bar stuffed with peanut butter and Oreo cookies
We're talking, of course, about the Cadbury's Dairy Milk Tiffin.
Originally produced way back in 1937, Cadbury's stopped making its raisin and biscuit-filled tiffin bars in 1972 – but the company appeased us all when it brought the product back in 1985.
Fans were devastated, however, when Cadbury's withdrew the product from its shelves again in 2003.
Now, after a successful trial last summer (which saw three million tiffins purchased by nostalgic customers over the course of a few short weeks), the chocolate company has confirmed that they the Dairy Milk Tiffin will be returning to our lives once again.
And, this time, it's for good.
Read more: Stop what you're doing and try these Creme scotch eggs
Katrina Davson, Dairy Milk brand manager, told the Daily Star: "By reviving an old classic such as Cadbury Dairy Milk Tiffin it enables Cadbury to reignite fond memories and instill that warm, nostalgic feeling that our fans have towards our much loved chocolate.
"Though we can't say too much at this moment, we can confirm that we will be bringing back Cadbury Dairy Milk Tiffin and urge the public to keep their eyes firmly peeled for more exciting news."
At the moment, it remains unclear as to when, exactly, the tiffin bars will be back on our shelves where they belong.
However, we suggest that you keep your eyes peeled from now on: judging by people's reactions to the 'limited' run last summer, we have a feeling that these babies are sure to sell out incredibly quickly indeed…

Sunraysia Daily : Business in our Region
Business in our region April, 2010 |5 Since its inception in 2002 the Fishers IGA supermarkets donate $1 for every $100 the members of the 'CB' club spend at the store to their non profit clubs or organisation. Customers then nominate a club, charity or organisation to receive the reward. Membership to the 'Club' is absolutely FREE. Since its inception the Fishers Group of supermarkets have donated back to the community in excess of a million dollars. Fishers also offer their customers an alternative at the store which is 4c per litre petrol discount. (It's your choice). If you don't want the fuel discount then scan your tag for your preferred benefit. If you require the 4 cents per litre off fuel don't scan your community benefit tag and you will receive your fuel discount. Managing Director, Mr Alan Fisher, was questioned as to why Fishers extend such a great offer to their customers, his response was "we are locally owned and operated, have been in the district for nearly 100 years and its our way of saying thanks to the community for their support." Managers of the Fishers Stores present cheques to the major 'CB' recipients from the previous three months of customer spending. Fishers Supermarkets have been in business in Sunraysia since 1911 and have now opened supermarkets in Southern and Eastern areas of Victoria --- and South Australia offering their friendly, fast and professional service. Over the last five years Fishers Supermarkets have expanded into the fuel business to be able to offer customers the 'complete' shopping experience.

Q: How much data is needed to compare different datasets and get a significant result if I have several datasets and each element in those sets is either A or B (which means I'll get an A/B proportion for each dataset at the end), how many elements should be in each set so that the comparison at the end may tell me whether there are any statistically significant results?
I feel like this is really simple (and that I should know this from highschool) but I seem to have forgotten the right terms because my googling gave me all sorts of answers but not what I need.
Anyone care to help a clueless fellow?

A: This isn't a simple, "high school" level question. First of all, the description of the problem is not clear, at least to me, as I can think of several ways in which these datasets can be arranged to form a test.
It sounds like you have several sources of data and want to perform a Type 1 test of group differences in proportions based on a ratio of A and B. The conventional, stats 101 answer to this is that you need 30 data points in each dataset to obtain a "meaningful" test. However, as is known from statistical testing in human clinical trials, e.g., in pharma, "meaningful" tests can be done with samples as small as 5 or 6 patients. The issue is that the standard errors forming the basis of the test are a function of the sample size. So, the smaller the sample size, the larger the standard errors which makes it harder to reach "significance".
The more important question is concerned with Type 2 tests of statistical power. Tests of power answer the question whether or not you have enough information (data) to test for significance, given a pre-specified probability level. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_power

(Power) can be equivalently thought of as the probability of accepting the
  alternative hypothesis (H1) when it is true—that is, the ability of a
  test to detect an effect, if the effect actually exists.

Australian Fires Continue to Rage
Raheemat Alade, OwlFeed Media Editor
Since December, Australia has been on fire because of the dry, hot summers there. Over billions of animals have died and become on the verge of extinction.
WHAT CAUSED THE AUSTRALIAN FIRES and WHO'S RESPONSIBLE?
During the Australian summer, fires blaze from the hot, dry weather making it easy to start and spread.
People are mostly to blame for these fires. "NSW Police have charged at least 24 people with deliberately starting bushfires, and have taken legal action against 183 people for fire-related offenses since November," said a current police statement.
People aren't the only ones to blame for the fires, natural causes are also a big reason for the fires. Dry lightning was responsible for starting several fires in Victoria's East Gippsland in late December, which then traveled more than 12.4 miles in just five hours, according to state agency Victoria Emergency.
By the first weeks of January, about 14 million acres had been burned, mainly in the states of New South Wales and Victoria.
According to HuffPost, ecologists at the University of Sydney estimate more than one billion birds, reptiles and mammals in New South Wales alone are likely to have died in the rapidly spreading wildfires.
More than 1,200 homes have been destroyed and millions of acres of land scorched.

Australia is experiencing one of its worst droughts in decades. The country's Bureau of Meteorology said in December that last spring was the driest on record. "A heatwave in December broke the record for the highest nationwide average temperature, with some places sweltering under temperatures well above 40 degrees Celsius (about 113-120 degrees Fahrenheit)," according to CNN.
Strong winds have also made the fires and smoke spread more rapidly.
In the spring of 2019, the roof of the Notre Dame cathedral burned down for two days in Paris, France. The French government and other world governments, billionaires and everyday people came together within 10 days and raised $828.67 million. "The cost is [a minimum of] around €300 million and the high level is around €600 million but we need to have two or three months to have the right cost," Untec president Pascal Asselin said to the BBC.
The donations for the fires didn't come as fast as Notre Dame. Around, $51 million was raised just in January of 2020.
Once people heard about the lack of donation, they took it quickly to social media to express their reactions.
Celebrities like Kylie Jenner, Ellen DeGeneres, Leonardo DiCaprio and many others have donated billions to take care of the animals and fires.
Even Australian comedian Celeste Barber has raised more than $32 million for wildfire relief on Facebook. It's the most money ever raised in Facebook's fundraising history, Facebook told CBS News. Over 2 million people have donated to Barber's fundraiser.
"Hey billionaires, Notre Dame burning down sucked. I get it. Times that by a trillion and that's what's happening in Australia," Barber tweeted.
"Donations have come from 75 countries, and over 19,000 fundraisers have been created for 250 organizations supporting the relief efforts," according to CBS news.
Agua Fria senior Carlos Johnson said, "People aren't giving money as fast as they gave money to the Notre Dame fire and it's really sad. You can always keep building a church but fixing nature is limited."
Junior Bella Tarzia also said, "It's really sad that this is happening in the world and I'm glad the animals and people are getting to safety."
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said that he had established a National Bushfire Recovery Agency to coordinate recovery efforts.
Many firemen have sacrificed their lives fighting these fires. Sadly, 3 US firemen have died fighting the Australian fire. One of the three was the Buckeye fireman, Paul Hudson. He died in a plane crash while fighting to extinguish the wildfires from the Australian wilderness.
He was killed when the C-130 Hercules aerial water tanker he was in crashed. The cause of the crash is not yet known.
Hudson's friend Gary Billings told AzCentral, "[It] was just another day in the life of a man devoted to helping others". Billings met Hudson back four years ago at the Marine Corps University in Quantico, Virginia.
Hudson, who was on active duty for 20 years, retired last May, and had just settled into his home in Arizona last July, Billings told The Arizona Republic.

We all send our hearts and prayers to Hudson and his family.
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP AUSTRALIA?
As Australia attempts to battle this national crisis, organizations need all the help they can get.
Donations can be made to several organizations working toward victim relief and recovery.
You can donate to organizations such as the Australian Red Cross, Salvation Army Australia, the NSW Rural Fire Service, and the St. Vincent de Paul Society Australia.
You can also help the devastated animal population by giving to wildlife rescue and treatment groups like WIRES, the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital and Currumbin Wildlife Hospital.

Lisa Raitt launches bid to become next Conservative Party leader
Social Studies	| In the News	| November 2, 2016
Veteran Ontario MP Lisa Raitt has launched her bid to become the next Conservative Party leader, joining a crowded race as one of the front-runners to replace Stephen Harper next May.
Ms. Raitt, a former cabinet minister in Mr. Harper's government, declared her intentions in a brief Facebook video posted on Wednesday. An official announcement is set for Thursday.
"I'm running to lead the Conservative Party of Canada, and I can win in 2019," Ms. Raitt said in the video, which chronicles her humble roots in Cape Breton, N.S.
In the video, Ms. Raitt said she is the candidate who can go up against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in the next election.
"Canada needs a leader who is going to fight for the striving many, not just the privileged few," she said.
"We need a leader who will beat Trudeau in the next election, who knows what Canada looks like from the bottom. Who will work to create opportunity for every striver, at every age. I will be that leader."
First elected in 2008 in the Greater Toronto Area riding of Milton, Ms. Raitt served as natural resources minister, labour minister and transport minister during the Harper era, and she recently stepped down as her party's finance critic in preparation for her leadership bid. She also served as chief executive of the Toronto Port Authority.
During her tenure at natural resources, Ms. Raitt was caught on a recording calling the shutdown of Chalk River's nuclear isotope production facility "sexy" because it had to do with cancer. Ms. Raitt offered an emotional apology in the House, noting she had been deeply affected by the disease – her brother, Colin, died at the age of 36 from lung cancer.
While seen as likeable and competent, Ms. Raitt's lack of French is seen as a hindrance to her campaign. However, she is said to be learning the language and also posted a French version of her video.
Ms. Raitt, the mother of two sons, was married in September to Bruce Wood, president and CEO of the Hamilton Port Authority. She recently told CTV's Power Play that Mr. Wood has been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's, and she spoke in the House of Commons about the need to talk openly about the disease.
Ms. Raitt's entry adds a more familiar name to a race that now includes 10 candidates: Chris Alexander, Maxime Bernier, Steven Blaney, Michael Chong, Kellie Leitch, Deepak Obhrai, Erin O'Toole, Andrew Scheer and Brad Trost.
Ms. Raitt's announcement drew praise from former cabinet minister Peter MacKay, widely seen as the favourite to lead the party until he decided not to run.
Mr. MacKay said Ms. Raitt's entry into the race is a positive development that will cause others "to up their game."
"She is whip smart, tenacious, but also humble and true to her roots," Mr. MacKay wrote in an e-mail.
He added that Ms. Raitt, along with Mr. Alexander and Mr. O'Toole's candidacy, turn this "into a truly competitive and extremely interesting contest for Conservatives and in fact all Canadians."
The race has so far been defined by immigration issues. Ms. Leitch first proposed the idea to screen immigrants for "anti-Canadian values," igniting a debate about immigration policy and Canadian identity. Mr. Blaney, the former public safety minister, has since proposed a ban on the niqab at polling stations, citizenship ceremonies and in the federal public service, and, on Wednesday, he said he would strike a "royal commission on Canadian identity" to examine past and current challenges to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Mr. Alexander, the former immigration minister who lost his seat in 2015, officially launched his campaign this week. Widely criticized for his handling of the Syrian refugee crisis and for announcing, along with Ms. Leitch, a "barbaric cultural practices" tip line during last year's federal election, Mr. Alexander is now calling for immigration to be increased to 400,000 people a year.
Mr. Chong, meanwhile, announced on Wednesday he would cut federal income tax and corporate taxes with revenue from a tax on carbon emissions.
The first Conservative leadership debate takes place next Wednesday in Saskatoon.

Q: How to implement Custom Async Validator in Angular4 I'm applying Angular 4 in my project and I am having trouble with Custom Validation using HTTP request.
I also tried this: How to implement Custom Async Validator in Angular2.
But it doesn't work in my project.
Here's what I've done so far:
Validation biding:
    userName: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.minLength(3), this.validateUserName.bind(this)]]

Value changes event:
    let userNameControl = this.individualForm.get('userName');
userNameControl.valueChanges.subscribe(value => {
    this.setErrorMessagesForUserNameControl(userNameControl)
  }
);

Validation function:
validateUserName(control: FormControl): Promise<any> {
let promise = new Promise<any>(
  (resolve, reject) => {
    if (this.oldUserNameForCheck != undefined) {
      this._individualUpdateService.isUserNameExisting(this.oldUserNameForCheck, control.value).subscribe(
        (res) => {
          if (res.isUserNameExisting) {

I just try to validate the username by sending it to the back-end.
Here's the logs
As you can see, there's a message for "required", "minlength". Those work fine. But the message for Custom validation is not quite clear.

A: Async validator should be in the next parameter
userName: ['',
    [ Validators.required, Validators.minLength(3) ],
    [ this.validateUserName.bind(this) ]
]

Also its better to have a factory method with required dependencies that would create validator, instead of using 'bind(this)'
userNameValidator(originalUsername, individualUpdateService) {
    return (control: FormControl): Promise<any> => {
        return new Promise<any>((resolve, reject) => {
            if (originalUsername != undefined) {
                individualUpdateService.isUserNameExisting(originalUsername, control.value).subscribe(
                    (res) => {
                        if (res.isUserNameExisting) {
                            console.log("existing");
                            resolve({ 'existing': true });
                        } else {
                            console.log("NOT existing");
                            resolve(null);
                        }
                    },
                    (error) => {
                        console.log(error);
                    }
                );
            } else {
                resolve(null);
            }
        })
    }
}
