The Team Member Assistance Fund (TMAF) was conceived in 2018 and put in place in 2020 to help our Team Members who may be suffering financial hardship due to a major medical or catastrophic event.
The TMAF is not a part of the Pacific Bells or affiliated group of companies. It is a separate, non-profit organization made up of Team Members who voluntarily serve on the Board of Directors. The TMAF is a 501(c)3 organization, thus all contributions are tax deductible. While not a part of those companies, the TMAF only provides assistance to the team members of Pacific Bells, LLC and affiliate companies (other franchisees and Corporate team members are not eligible).
Our goal is for every Team Member to donate $2.00 or more per paycheck, with a minimum donation of $1.00 per paycheck. Remember, only those team members who donate to the TMAF are eligible to apply for a grant under the TMAF. 100% of your donation goes to help a fellow Team Member in crisis.
Applications are strictly confidential. All assistance provided is a grant, not a loan, so it never needs to be repaid.
Besides payroll deductions, the companies have made contributions to the TMAF, as well as each of the companies' executives. We also plan for future fundraising events to raise money for the TMAF.

There are also female names that end in 'son'. You may be surprised to find out that some of your treasured feminine names are actually derived from masculine names and mean 'son of someone' like Addison and Madison.
PS. Don't you think Season is an adorable little girls name!
Dawson for me is a cute name.


以斯拉祷告、认罪、哭泣,俯伏在 神殿前的时候,有以色列中的男女孩童聚集到以斯拉那里,成了大会,众民无不痛哭。 While Ezra was praying and confessing, weeping and throwing himself down before the house of God, a large crowd of Israelites--men, women and children--gathered around him. They too wept bitterly.
属以拦的子孙、耶歇的儿子示迦尼对以斯拉说:"我们在此地娶了外邦女子为妻,干犯了我们的 神,然而以色列人还有指望。 Then Shecaniah son of Jehiel, one of the descendants of Elam, said to Ezra, "We have been unfaithful to our God by marrying foreign women from the peoples around us. But in spite of this, there is still hope for Israel.
现在当与我们的 神立约,休这一切的妻,离绝她们所生的,照着我主和那因 神命令战兢之人所议定的,按律法而行。 Now let us make a covenant before our God to send away all these women and their children, in accordance with the counsel of my lord and of those who fear the commands of our God. Let it be done according to the Law.
你起来,这是你当办的事,我们必帮助你,你当奋勉而行。" Rise up; this matter is in your hands. We will support you, so take courage and do it."
以斯拉便起来,使祭司长和利未人,并以色列众人起誓说:必照这话去行;他们就起了誓。 So Ezra rose up and put the leading priests and Levites and all Israel under oath to do what had been suggested. And they took the oath.
以斯拉从 神殿前起来,进入以利亚实的儿子约哈难的屋里,到了那里不吃饭,也不喝水,因为被掳归回之人所犯的罪,心里悲伤。 Then Ezra withdrew from before the house of God and went to the room of Jehohanan son of Eliashib. While he was there, he ate no food and drank no water, because he continued to mourn over the unfaithfulness of the exiles.
他们通告犹大和耶路撒冷被掳归回的人,叫他们在耶路撒冷聚集。 A proclamation was then issued throughout Judah and Jerusalem for all the exiles to assemble in Jerusalem.
凡不遵首领和长老所议定三日之内不来的,就必抄他的家,使他离开被掳归回之人的会。 Anyone who failed to appear within three days would forfeit all his property, in accordance with the decision of the officials and elders, and would himself be expelled from the assembly of the exiles.
于是,犹大和便雅悯众人,三日之内都聚集在耶路撒冷。那日正是九月二十日,众人都坐在 神殿前的宽阔处;因这事,又因下大雨,就都战兢。 Within the three days, all the men of Judah and Benjamin had gathered in Jerusalem. And on the twentieth day of the ninth month, all the people were sitting in the square before the house of God, greatly distressed by the occasion and because of the rain.
祭司以斯拉站起来,对他们说:"你们有罪了,因你们娶了外邦的女子为妻,增添以色列人的罪恶。 Then Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, "You have been unfaithful; you have married foreign women, adding to Israel's guilt.
现在当向耶和华你们列祖的 神认罪,遵行他的旨意,离绝这些国的民和外邦的女子。" Now make confession to the LORD, the God of your fathers, and do his will. Separate yourselves from the peoples around you and from your foreign wives."
会众都大声回答说:"我们必照着你的话行, The whole assembly responded with a loud voice: "You are right! We must do as you say.
只是百姓众多,又逢大雨的时令,我们不能站在外头,这也不是一两天办完的事。因我们在这事上犯了大罪, But there are many people here and it is the rainy season; so we cannot stand outside. Besides, this matter cannot be taken care of in a day or two, because we have sinned greatly in this thing.
不如为全会众派首领办理。凡我们城邑中娶外邦女子为妻的,当按所定的日期,同着本城的长老和士师而来,直到办完这事, 神的烈怒就转离我们了。" Let our officials act for the whole assembly. Then let everyone in our towns who has married a foreign woman come at a set time, along with the elders and judges of each town, until the fierce anger of our God in this matter is turned away from us."
惟有亚撒黑的儿子约拿单、特瓦的儿子雅哈谢,阻挡(或作"总办")这事,并有米书兰和利未人沙比太帮助他们。 Only Jonathan son of Asahel and Jahzeiah son of Tikvah, supported by Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite, opposed this.
到正月初一日,才查清娶外邦女子的人数。 and by the first day of the first month they finished dealing with all the men who had married foreign women.
在祭司中查出娶外邦女子为妻的,就是耶书亚的子孙约萨达的儿子,和他弟兄玛西雅、以利以谢、雅立、基大利, Among the descendants of the priests, the following had married foreign women: From the descendants of Jeshua son of Jozadak, and his brothers: Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib and Gedaliah.

A woman has been rescued from a truck in north-western Victoria after she called police to say the driver was allegedly holding her captive.
The 33-year-old woman from Point Cook, in Melbourne's west, called Triple Zero from the moving truck about 4.40am on Saturday.
According to police, she whispered to the call-taker that she was being held against her will in a truck travelling along the Western Highway towards Adelaide.

She did not know her exact location but police tracked her phone to discover she was in Stawell in the state's north-west.
Police searched the area and found the truck at a truck stop on the highway.
The woman was found inside the truck with minor injuries.
The driver, a 38-year-old man also from Point Cook, was arrested.
He is believed to be known to the woman.
He has since been charged with false imprisonment, possession of methylamphetamines and possession of Viagra without a prescription.
He was remanded in custody to appear at Horsham Magistrates' Court tomorrow.

Richard W. VanDeventer, game designer for Square Enix, has updated his LinkedIn profile to include that he has worked on a title called Kingdom Hearts 2.9, as well as multiplayer for Kingdom Hearts III.
According to VanDeventer's profile, he worked from August 2014 to June 2015 on "game idea planning" for a currently unannounced title called Kingdom Hearts 2.9, allegedly coming to the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4. He also claims that he worked on multiplayer planning and documentation for the upcoming Kingdom Hearts III and held meetings with Disney and Pixar — possibly hinting at the inclusion of Pixar properties in the game.

Square will also be showing new KHIII footage at the D23 Expo Japan on December 3, 2015. Time will tell if Kingdom Hearts 2.9 and/or KHIII multiplayer is present.

This workshop in Bengaluru will help sharpen your child's reading, writing skills. Here's how
he creative writing and book reading workshops will take place from June 22-23 and June 29-30 at Westminster Building, Cunningham Road in Bengaluru
Shreesha Ghosh

Word to Word Consulting, a content studio based in Bengaluru that specialises in providing quality content for the print and online media, also conducts children-centric workshops through their Words and Visuals initiative. One such workshop, the second edition of Words and Visuals will take place in Cunningham Road, Bengaluru during two weekends in June.
The workshops meant for children within the age group of 10- 12 years are divided into two parts — creative writing and book reading. Children who would like to sharpen their writing skills can be a part of the creative writing session from June 22-23 (10 am to 1 pm) and June 29-30 (10 am to 1 pm) and experience the joy of reading on June 22-23 (2.30 pm to 5.30 pm). It will cost you Rs 2000 per session.
The activities will be conducted by former journalists and feature writers who are experts in their own field. The Word to Word Consulting company was founded by a team of three former business journalists — Anjali Prayag, Anjana Chandramouly and Swetha Kannan and was set up in August 2015. They themselves also conduct the workshops. All three of them are currently freelance writers and editors, writing and editing for various publications, both online and offline. They also offer language training for students and working professionals.
Children learn to appreciate, become movie critics themselves and also engage with the movie. They are encouraged to understand the characters and asked how they would do things differently if they were directors through fun exercises in order to stimulate their thinking
The first edition of this workshop was conducted in May in both Bengaluru and Chennai, which was a summer programme for five days for children between 10 to 13 years of age. Although the second edition only has creative writing and book reading, their workshops also include a session called 'Reel Talk' that is meant for movie appreciation.
What the programme is about: Children are curious by nature with boundless imagination and creativity. But often, the rigour of academics fails to nurture this. But thankfully, the holidays are here, and this is a good time to spur one's imagination, creative expression and critical thinking. Words and Visuals is an exploratory programme that encourages children to think freely and express creatively and helps develop useful analytical skills through fun activities.
Write Well: This is the creative writing component of the programme that will focus on sharpening creative thinking and expression through the powerful medium of words — using word association games, lateral thinking exercises and audio-visual aids.
Book Club: This will help children discover the joy of reading and nurture a love for it, one page at a time. Interactive read-aloud sessions, critical thinking exercises, book reviews and role-plays promise to make reading a stimulating and enjoyable activity. They grasp the stories better.
The whole experience will stay with them for a long time, says Anjana. "We have done only two editions and we want to take this forward and do a lot more for children. One thing what we have learned in Bengaluru is due to the traffic situation a lot of people inquire but can't come because it's too far for them. We want to conduct such sessions in more areas. We are looking for space and marketing partners to do more," she adds.

Collaborative Filtering is the most common technique used when it comes to building intelligent recommender systems that can learn to give better recommendations as more information about users is collected.
Most websites like Amazon, YouTube, and Netflix use collaborative filtering as a part of their sophisticated recommendation systems. You can use this technique to build recommenders that give suggestions to a user on the basis of the likes and dislikes of similar users.
In this article, you'll learn about:
Collaborative filtering and it types

Collaborative filtering is a technique that can filter out items that a user might like on the basis of reactions by similar users.
It works by searching a large group of people and finding a smaller set of users with tastes similar to a particular user. It looks at the items they like and combines them to create a ranked list of suggestions.
There are many ways to decide which users are similar and combine their choices to create a list of recommendations. This article will show you how to do that with Python.
To experiment with recommendation algorithms, you'll need data that contains a set of items and a set of users who have reacted to some of the items.
The reaction can be explicit (rating on a scale of 1 to 5, likes or dislikes) or implicit (viewing an item, adding it to a wish list, the time spent on an article).
While working with such data, you'll mostly see it in the form of a matrix consisting of the reactions given by a set of users to some items from a set of items. Each row would contain the ratings given by a user, and each column would contain the ratings received by an item. A matrix with five users and five items could look like this:
Rating Matrix
The matrix shows five users who have rated some of the items on a scale of 1 to 5. For example, the first user has given a rating 4 to the third item.
In most cases, the cells in the matrix are empty, as users only rate a few items. It's highly unlikely for every user to rate or react to every item available. A matrix with mostly empty cells is called sparse, and the opposite to that (a mostly filled matrix) is called dense.
There are a lot of datasets that have been collected and made available to the public for research and benchmarking. Here's a list of high-quality data sources that you can choose from.
The best one to get started would be the MovieLens dataset collected by GroupLens Research. In particular, the MovieLens 100k dataset is a stable benchmark dataset with 100,000 ratings given by 943 users for 1682 movies, with each user having rated at least 20 movies.
This dataset consists of many files that contain information about the movies, the users, and the ratings given by users to the movies they have watched. The ones that are of interest are the following:
u.item: the list of movies
u.data: the list of ratings given by users
The file u.data that contains the ratings is a tab separated list of user ID, item ID, rating, and timestamp. The first few lines of the file look like this:
First 5 Rows of MovieLens 100k Data
As shown above, the file tells what rating a user gave to a particular movie. This file contains 100,000 such ratings, which will be used to predict the ratings of the movies not seen by the users.
To build a system that can automatically recommend items to users based on the preferences of other users, the first step is to find similar users or items. The second step is to predict the ratings of the items that are not yet rated by a user. So, you will need the answers to these questions:
How do you determine which users or items are similar to one another?
Given that you know which users are similar, how do you determine the rating that a user would give to an item based on the ratings of similar users?
How do you measure the accuracy of the ratings you calculate?
The first two questions don't have single answers. Collaborative filtering is a family of algorithms where there are multiple ways to find similar users or items and multiple ways to calculate rating based on ratings of similar users. Depending on the choices you make, you end up with a type of collaborative filtering approach. You'll get to see the various approaches to find similarity and predict ratings in this article.
One important thing to keep in mind is that in an approach based purely on collaborative filtering, the similarity is not calculated using factors like the age of users, genre of the movie, or any other data about users or items. It is calculated only on the basis of the rating (explicit or implicit) a user gives to an item. For example, two users can be considered similar if they give the same ratings to ten movies despite there being a big difference in their age.
The third question for how to measure the accuracy of your predictions also has multiple answers, which include error calculation techniques that can be used in many places and not just recommenders based on collaborative filtering.
One of the approaches to measure the accuracy of your result is the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), in which you predict ratings for a test dataset of user-item pairs whose rating values are already known. The difference between the known value and the predicted value would be the error. Square all the error values for the test set, find the average (or mean), and then take the square root of that average to get the RMSE.
Another metric to measure the accuracy is Mean Absolute Error (MAE), in which you find the magnitude of error by finding its absolute value and then taking the average of all error values.
You don't need to worry about the details of RMSE or MAE at this point as they are readily available as part of various packages in Python, and you will see them later in the article.
Now let's look at the different types of algorithms in the family of collaborative filtering.
The first category includes algorithms that are memory based, in which statistical techniques are applied to the entire dataset to calculate the predictions.
To find the rating R that a user U would give to an item I, the approach includes:
Finding users similar to U who have rated the item I
Calculating the rating R based the ratings of users found in the previous step
You'll see each of them in detail in the following sections.
To understand the concept of similarity, let's create a simple dataset first.
The data includes four users A, B, C, and D, who have rated two movies. The ratings are stored in lists, and each list contains two numbers indicating the rating of each movie:
Ratings by A are [1.0, 2.0].
Ratings by B are [2.0, 4.0].
Ratings by C are [2.5, 4.0].
Ratings by D are [4.5, 5.0].
To start off with a visual clue, plot the ratings of two movies given by the users on a graph and look for a pattern. The graph looks like this:
In the graph above, each point represents a user and is plotted against the ratings they gave to two movies.
Looking at the distance between the points seems to be a good way to estimate similarity, right? You can find the distance using the formula for Euclidean distance between two points. You can use the function available in scipy as shown in the following program:

Calgary council considers lowering city's default speed limit below 50
Anna Junker
A 40 km/h residential reduced speed zone sign on 12th avenue N.E. in Calgary was photographed on Thursday May 10, 2018. City Council is looking at the possibility of reducing speed limits in residential areas from the current 50 km/h. Gavin Young/Postmedia
Councillors are considering changes to residential speed limits, with advocates calling it a step in the right direction to improve pedestrian safety.
Earlier this week, Mayor Naheed Nenshi said he wouldn't be surprised if councillors — whose No. 1 complaint is residential speeding — bring forward a plan to address the issue.
"I think the science is very, very clear that the biggest benefit to saving people's lives is between 40 and 30 (km/h)," said Nenshi.
His comments come after the province recently completed the first phase of the new city charter, which grants the city the ability to set new residential speed limits from the default 50 km/h.
However, Coun. Druh Farrell said members of council and administration are only in preliminary discussions about reducing the limit.
"We're collecting data, we're discussing the best ways to move forward. We don't have a date when we're bringing this forward. We're in the exploration phase," said Farrell.
"It's important that we have all the data necessary to make an informed decision."
Coun. Shane Keating, the chair of the city's transportation and transit committee, says he would consider reducing the residential speed limit.
"I'm not opposed to dropping it to, say, 40 (km/h). I'm not sure I'm ready to go to 30 (km/h) just yet but 40 is a good starting point, and the science behind reduction of injuries and fatalities is huge when you look at every 10 km/h that you go slower," said Keating.
Keating said he would rather ease into the change and urged stronger enforcement if the speed limit is lowered.
"As it is now, you have to be driving a fair speed over the speed limit to get a ticket. I would propose to lower the tolerance and put in a lot of electronic surveillance," said Keating.
Greg Hart, who is the co-founder of the advocacy group Vision Zero, which advocates for lower speed limits and other safety measures to make the streets safer was photographed along 5th Avenue N.W. on Thursday, May 10. 2018. Fifth Avenue is one of just a few city residential roadways that have a reduced limit to 40 km/h. Gavin Young/Postmedia
Greg Hart, co-founder of advocacy group Vision Zero, said more needs to be done to increase safety, since simply lowering speed limits doesn't automatically make people drive slower.
"The decisions we make about driving speed are largely subconscious based on the environment we're driving through," said Hart.
"So if we're driving through a residential road which is incredibly wide, which most of the streets in Calgary are, then you will tend to drive more quickly. You are also more likely to engage in distracting behaviours because you feel less vulnerable as the driver."
Jodi Morel, another co-founder of Vision Zero, also advocated for lower limits.
"We have our playground zones, which are very, very small areas around a school or playground, but it really doesn't protect the children or the people that are commuting within the community to get to the playground," said Morel.
"It just creates these small insulated areas that really frustrate drivers but don't really add a lot, other than you're safe in this bubble."
Hart said retrofitting the streets to make them narrower and reducing visibility for drivers would ultimately improve safety for everyone on and off the road.
He cites Dutch roundabouts as an example of safely reducing visibility, where trees or sculptures are placed in the middle to obscure the vision of drivers.
"Because of that, you slow right down to the entry of the roundabout because you don't know who will be coming around the other side of it," said Hart.
"These measures are good for all users of the road. It's not a war on cars, it's about keeping people safe in cars, on bikes, walking, the whole thing."

Lindsay Allen (born March 20, 1995 in Clinton, Maryland) is an American professional basketball player for the Minnesota Lynx of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). She played basketball at the University of Notre Dame. Allen was drafted in the second round (14th overall) of the 2017 WNBA Draft by the Liberty.

Professional career
Allen was drafted early in the second round by the Liberty but she was the final cut as the Liberty cut down their roster to the limit. Because she was cut, she was able to finish her final week of college and participate in the graduation ceremonies. Before she could even unpack she got a call from the liberty asking her to return to the team. Brittany Boyd had sustained an injury and would be out for the season. Bill Laimbeer, the Liberty coach was surprised that Allen hadn't been claimed by another team so was happy to have her back on the team.

Professional career
Lindsay Allen signed to play with Dynamo Moscow for the 2017–18 season.

Allen has also played in the Australian Women's National Basketball League, playing with the Melbourne Boomers for three seasons. She was part of the Boomers' 2022 championship-winning team, winning the Rachael Sporn Medal as most valuable player of the Finals series.

On July 21, 2022, Allen signed a 7-day contract with the Minnesota Lynx.

tudor heritage black bay 79230n
April 8, 2021 By mysun08481 Off
The latest Tudor watch is a welcomed presence. The easy-going character with a pleasant look and a powerful combination between the chronometer certified movement and diver capabilities makes and interesting proposition.
The Tudor Black Bay Chrono has a classically shaped 41mm diameter steel case. The finishes are the usual for Tudor: a combination of polished and brushed finishes. The face of the lugs and bezel is circular brushed in such a fine way that it has almost a frost, satin finish. The chamfering of the bezel's side, of the case's side and of the lugs is highly polished. The tachymeter scale is engraved and has indexes and numerals filled with black paint. The bezel's readability is very good, the font used is delicate, but due to the strong contrast, a good visibility is achieved.
The screwed-in case back has a pleasant combination of circular and diagonal brush in the same fine granulation as the watch's face. The cover is twice engraved "Tudor Genève" and "Calibre Manufacture" to remind us of the brand's origin and the movement. Another detail visible on the back is the serial number engraved on the upper right-side lug.
The crown is beautifully decorated with a filled black ink rose motif. The chrono-pushers are inspired by the first generation of Tudor Chronos from the '70s. The crown and the chrono-pushers are screwed down offering a 200m water resistance.
On top, the watch is covered with a curved sapphire crystal. This contributes to the vintage look.
The black frosted dial of the Black Bay is surprisingly balanced. The decoration is done using big, bold round applied indexes filled with luminescent. For 12 o'clock a triangle-shaped index is used. At 3, 6 and 9 o'clock the indexes are missing, leaving the place for the other elements of the dial. The sub-dials are neatly lowered, helping the viewer to focus effortlessly. The 45 minutes chrono counter is a Tudor signature and is a welcomed detail, being a change from the classical 30 minutes counter.
The date, black on white, can be considered inappropriate for a black dial, but in this situation, the date window is balancing the dial. To the dial's harmony also participate the white printed name, logo and chronometer certification. A diver's classic is the water resistance written using red paint.
The famous snowflake hands are perhaps a bit oversized. This offers an excellent readability, especially at night. At the same time, the big hands are covering too much of the sub-dials, resulting in poor visibility of the chronograph minute counter when the chronograph is used from 2 o'clock to 4 o'clock. The central seconds' hand, shaped as a slender arrow, reaches comfortably the printed seconds' scale.
The collaboration between Tudor and Breitling is interesting, and we consider it to be a win-win deal. Both companies have an arrangement to use each other's movements. The Manufacture Tudor calibre MT5813 is based on the 2009 released Breitling B01. And Breitling uses one of Tudor's automatic movements in their watches.
The B01 was a result of Breitling's investment in the development of a new chronograph in 2004, when they feared that the supply of ETA Ebauche movements would disappear. Although this fear never materialised, they benefited with their own in-house chronograph.
The MT583 is an automatic movement with date and 45 minutes chronograph counter which is the brand's signature. This small detail makes Tudor stand out.
Otherwise, the calibre is a usual column wheel / vertical clutch modern chronograph and a silicon balance spring. The use of a classical column wheel is a plus for the feel and precision of the start, stop and reset system. The movement also features a vertical clutch, which is more robust than the traditional horizontal clutch.
And of course, the use of silicon in the hairspring gives the movement immunity to temperature variations and, as another advantage, the immunity to magnetism. These two properties are very important in a modern chronograph. The silicon spring is mounted on Tudor's proprietary four adjustable masses moment of inertia balance wheel. An interesting side note is the involvement of Tudor as the client for the movement results in Breitling having access to silicon technology, which is currently limited to only Rolex, Ulysse Nardin, Patek Philippe, and The Swatch Group.
The wheel is visually beautiful and even though it is not decorated in haute horlogerie style. It is a shame that it cannot be seen through the case-back. The balance beats at 28,800vph or 4Hz, offering a good 70 hours of power reserve.
The finishes are industrial but pleasant. Clearly the finish is not intended to be admired, but we think totally appropriate for the price point. The main plate and the bridges have a frosted, sandblasted finish. The ball bearing rotor is brushed and decorated with the Tudor name.
For some reason tudor heritage black bay 79230n calls the MT5813 an "in-house" movement, even though the caliber is based on the Breitling B01 with some modifications and manufactured for Tudor by Breitling. Final decoration is done by Tudor, and in a different way as Breitling does it. And it is equipped with a Tudor proprietary balance wheel. Why did Tudor have to outsource the movement? Perhaps Tudor did not want to use the Rolex C.4130 as it fears canibalising its own Daytona sales. But we can only speculate. And the collaboration with Breitling seems to be a nice one, in our view. And does not take away one bit from the authenticity and identity of either brand.
If we take into consideration the cooperation between Tudor and Breitling, the first competition of today's chronograph is the Breitling Chronomat 44, which shares the B01 calibre. This watch has a bolder, masculine look. Contributing to this is the 44mm diameter steel case and the unidirectional, diver ratcheted bezel with big Roman numerals. The Breitling B01 movement is a chronograph with 1/4th second, 30 minutes, 12 hours measurement. The Chronomat 44 comes in various combinations of case materials and bezels with leather, Diver Pro, Military, Ocean Racer, Crocodile rubber or Pilot straps. The watch has 500m water resistance for the steel case version and 100m for the gold case model. You have the chance to choose the combination of watch materials online, for a price starting from approximatively S$11,200.
A well-known and loved chronograph is the Omega Speedmaster. This year, to celebrate the 60th anniversary, Omega released at Baselworld a limited edition. The new watch is intended to be as close as possible to the original model. Using three-dimensional scanning, Omega managed to bring to life a watch with the specifications of the original 1957 ref. CK2915-1. At 38,6mm, the Speedmaster has the perfect size and feel of a vintage watch. Powering this beauty is the Omega 1861 calibre. The movement is based on the Lemania 1873, has 48 hours of power reserve and 6atm water resistance. We reviewed the Omega Speedmaster 60th Anniversary Limited Edition as part of the Omega "Masters" trilogy. The price of the Omega 3557 limited edition model is CHF6,700 or S$10,050 (incl. leather and NATO strap) and it comes in a period authentic box set.
Another chronograph with a great heritage is the new Zenith Defy El Primero 21. This watch is a major step into the modern era. The watch is capable of displaying 1/100th of a second by the central hand. This is possible with a separate escapement running at 50 Hz (360,000 vph). The new Defy 21 comes in three 44mm case variants in titanium, open dial titanium and black ceramic-treated aluminium. The Defy El Primero is keenly priced at S$15,100 for the titanium case and solid dial version, S$16,600 for the open dial titanium case and S$18,000 for the black ceramic-treated aluminium case, also with open worked dial.
We are delighted with the new chronograph from Tudor. One of the reasons is the beauty. It is a sincere appearance, as elegant as a chrono can be. At its size, the Black Bay Chrono will fit any wrist and it will feel as it really does belong there. The second reason is the movement used. The Breitling have had enough time to prove itself since its 2009 release and is a robust movement well suited for the tudor heritage black bay 79230n. Another reason is the price. For a column wheel chronograph with a vertical clutch and "in-house" stamp, this watch could be more expensive. We appreciate Tudor's honesty in revealing the movement's source and keeping the low price.
And finally, the marketing coup of the year – signing David Beckham in the Tudor "Born To Dare" campaign, and having him personally pick the Black Bay Chronograph as one of his choices.

Q: TDictionary multiple output? Is it possible to store multiple items in TDictionary? I want a simple solution for next
My table looks like:

*

*LOCATION_ID, CITY, ZIP_CODE

*1          , England, 2000

*2          , Hungary, 1000

*3          , Turkey,  300

*4          , Germany, 5000 etc...

I want to store all the fields from the table and after search items in it.. Is TDictionary is capable for it? I have a Paradox Table, Query is a simple TQuery
I did a small example with 2 field
  var
  stSearch: string;
  vPDX: TDictionary<String, TCity>;
  variable: string;

  stSearch := '4';
  vPDX := TDictionary<String, String>.Create;      qry_TMP.DatabaseName := 'C:\S_DATABASE';
  qry_TMP.SQL.Text := 'select * from SAMPLE_TABLE';
  qry_TMP.Open;

 while not qry_TMP.Eof do
   begin
   vPDX.AddOrSetValue(qry_TMP.FieldByName('LOCATION_ID').AsString,  qry_TMP.FieldByName('Location').AsString);
qry_TMP.Next;
end;

if vPDX.TryGetValue(stSearch, variable) then
  showmessage(variable);

This code Works but I need another field too (ZIP_CODE).
I tried it with Class but I got only the last item from the Table.
 TSampleClass = class
 ZIP_CODe: String;
 Location: String;
 end;

  var
  SampleClass, Value: TSampleClass;
  vPDX := TDictionary<String, TSampleClass>.Create;

  begin

  stSearch := '4';
  SampleClass := TSampleClass.Create;
  vPDX := TDictionary<String, TSampleClass>.Create;
  qry_TMP.DatabaseName := 'C:\S_DATABASE';
  qry_TMP.SQL.Text := 'select * from SAMPLE_TABLE';
  qry_TMP.Open;

while not qry_TMP.Eof do
  begin
  vPDX.AddOrSetValue(qry_TMP.FieldByName('LOCATION_ID').AsString, SampleClass);
  SampleClass.ZIP_CODE := Qry_TMP.FieldByName('ZIP_CODE').AsString;
  SampleClass.City := Qry_TMP.FieldByName('City').AsString;
  qry_TMP.Next;
  end;

if vPDX.TryGetValue(stSearch, SampleClass) then
  showmessage(SampleClass.ZIP_CODE + SampleClass.City);

Anyone can help what will be the problem? I want Germany and the 5000 ZIP_CODE. Iwant to learn how to use TDictionary. Thanks for the helps!

A: You're calling tSampleClass.Create only once.
Move it inside the WHILE statement so that a new instance is created for each record.

A: You only create one instance of SampleClass, which means that every subsequent use just overwrites the values it contains. You need to create a new instance for every addition to the dictionary.
while not qry_TMP.Eof do
begin
  SampleClass := TSampleClass.Create;
  SampleClass.ZIP_CODE := qry_TMP.FieldByName('ZIP_CODE).AsString;
  SampleClass.City := qry_TMP.FieldByName('City').AsString;
  vPDX.AddOrSetValue(qry_TMP.FieldByName('LOCATION_ID', SampleClass);
  qry_TMP.Next;
end;

It's no secret I am a sucker for Art deco and everything it holds, that is why the Baz Luhrmann Great Gatsby will be in my collection forever!
If you are inspired by it also have a look at this interior mix of patterns, black and white scheme and pop of yellow. You can recreate the look with items from the Florence Broadhurst Home collection.
If you find the black a bit boring you will noticed I used the blue version of the bamboo cushions in the latest Taubmans commercial as well.

The Woodlands Artwork Series #5: A Tribute to George and Cynthia Mitchell
February 10, 2012 by Courtney Buie Leave a Comment
by Jay Hester
Bronze Metal Casting
Installed 1997 & 2002
These familiar faces sit in front of the entrance to the iconic Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion. The Pavilion, a Woodlands landmark, was the brainchild of our community's founders George and Cynthia Mitchell, who wanted a world-class performing arts facility to bring musicians and entertainers right into our backyard.
The Mitchell's children commissioned the sculpture as a monument to their parents' dedication and service to The Woodlands community. The sculpture depicts both George and Cynthia Mitchell surrounded by delighted children, on a bench and gathered in a circle listening to a story. The images truly capture the Mitchell's compassion for and involvement with residents of The Woodlands; this sculpture is an important reminder of how much we owe these patrons for our beautiful community.
The artist, Jay Hester, currently lives in Beorne, Texas, where he has a studio for his Western and Native American artwork. His work aims to capture the "rustic beauty and depth of the people and places that define the American West," in addition to the essence of American culture and values. He has many commissioned works displayed around the state, and a personal gallery for perusal and purchase in Beorne.

Q: Check-and-increment a counter in Redis I have an operation I need to get done N times and no more. The operation is done by many possibly parallel  processes that recieve requests. A process has to check if the counter has exceeded N and, if not, then increment the counter and execute the operation. I suppose I could use a Redis counter for that.
Howerver if I just GET and then INCR a value I might run into a race condition that will result in the operation being done more than N times. How do I perform some kind of test-and-incr operation against Redis?
I know I could use WATCH but that's an optimistic lock. I expect there going to be very many collisions each second. This will result in a lot of failures. Maybe I could just wrap simple GET and INCR with some kind of external mutex. But I am not sure if it's good enough for performance.

A: *

*You can use Redis INCR safely here.

*INCR returns the value post the increment.

*You check the value returned by INCR first ( see there is no need to do a GET )
& proceed to do the operation based on that value.

*Only thing is you would have to set your INCR return value threshold as N+1 for limiting to N operations i.e. one extra redis operation than N.
For example, if we want to limit the operation to happen 3 times only, if INCR returns 4 after an increment, then
you stop doing further operation as it has already happened 3 times.

Here's why. Dividend Stocks,IBM Stock https://www.incomeinvestors.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/dollar-bill-work-home-dollar-digital-payment-laptop-online-shopping-keyboard-money-currency-computer_t20_zWlyxQ-150x150.jpg
IBM Stock: Earn a 5.5% Yield… from a Tech Stock?
By Jing Pan, B.Sc., MA | January 28, 2021
Why This Overlooked Tech Giant Could Be an Opportunity
The market hasn't been very income-investor-friendly for a quite a while. Due to the Federal Reserve's low-interest-rate policy after the Great Recession, fixed income products haven't yielded much in the past decade. And just as interest rates began to rise, a pandemic took the world by storm.
With words like "unprecedented" and "extraordinary" being constantly used to describe the current economic situation, it's safe to say we won't be getting any rate hikes anytime soon.
It's yet to be seen how the extremely dovish stance from the U.S. central bank will boost the economy, but low interest rates have certainly accomplished one thing: increased the demand for stocks. Even though most businesses are far from making a full recovery, the stock market quickly bounced back and has been soaring to new heights.
A by-product of the market rally is that, on average, the dividend yield is much lower. How much lower? Well, for most of the last decade, S&P 500 companies had an average dividend yield around two percent. Today, it's at just 1.5%. (Source: "S&P 500 Dividend Yield," multpl.com, last accessed January 27, 2020.)
Historically, the average dividend yield of S&P 500 companies has been a much more generous 4.3%.
The situation is more pronounced if you look at the red-hot tech sector. It's not only because many tech stocks have shot through the roof; it's also because some tech companies do not pay any dividends at all.
And that, dear reader, is why IBM (NYSE:IBM) could be special.
IBM is one of the oldest tech companies in the market, with a history that can be traced all the way back to 1911. Of course, in the fast-changing tech world, legacy tech companies don't always get much attention. And that seems to be the case with IBM stock. Over the past 12 months—a period of market euphoria—the stock actually slipped by about 14%.
While that means IBM is probably not on the radar of most "Robinhood" traders, the inverse relationship between dividend yield and stock price means IBM offers something that's rarely found in today's tech sector: a generous cash payout.
You see, IBM stock pays cash dividends usually on the 10th of March, June, September, and December of each year. The company's quarterly payout currently stands at $1.63 per share. With its stock trading at $118.85 per share at the time of this writing, that quarterly rate comes out to an annual yield of 5.5%.
In other words, with this mega-cap tech stock, investors can actually earn a yield that's more than three times as high as the benchmark index's average.
Of course, there's usually a reason why a stock is overlooked. In the case of IBM stock, the latest pullback in its price was triggered by an earnings report.
On average, Wall Street analysts expected the company to report $20.7 billion of revenue and earnings of $1.79 per share for the fourth quarter of 2020. In reality, IBM generated $20.4 billion of revenue for the quarter, while its adjusted earnings came in at $2.07 per share. (Source: "IBM Reports 2020 Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year Results," IBM, January 21, 2021.)
In other words, the company narrowly missed analysts' top-line estimate and actually beat on the bottom line. In the trading session following the news release, IBM stock closed down 10%.
There was, however, some growth in the legacy tech giant. Notably, the company generated $7.5 billion in cloud revenue in the fourth quarter, which represented a 10% increase year-over-year. In full-year 2020, the company's cloud revenue rose 19% year-over-year to $25.1 billion.
While there are tech companies with a bigger presence in the cloud market, the secular tailwind in the industry should continue to drive growth in IBM's cloud segment.
Furthermore, the company has been generating ample cash flow to cover its oversized dividend payments. Last year, IBM generated $10.8 billion in free cash flow and returned $5.8 billion to shareholders in the form of dividends. While the company has not issued specific guidance on revenue and profits for the current year, management expects the company to earn $11.0 to $12.0 billion of adjusted free cash flow in 2021. That should be plenty to allow the company to continue dishing out juicy dividends.
In the company's earnings conference call, IBM's chief financial officer, Jim Kavanaugh, said, "So we've got firepower here that gives us the financial flexibility to continue to invest in our business, de-lever to get back to our targeted leverage ratios and also support that secured and modestly growing dividend." (Source: "International Business Machines Corporation's (IBM) CEO Arvind Krishna on Q4 2020 Results – Earnings Call Transcript," Seeking Alpha, January 21, 2021.)
That's right: even though IBM may not be known for its growth these days, its cash payouts have been on the rise. Over the last five years, the company's quarterly dividend rate has increased by 25.4%. (Source: "Cash Dividends," IBM, last accessed January 27, 2021.)
Bottom Line on IBM Stock
And there you have it. If you're looking for a ticker that could shoot to the moon, IBM is probably not going to get the job done.
But for those who want to earn a safe and steadily increasing stream of dividends, IBM's 5.5% yield surely deserves a look.

Q: Windows 7 detects 32 Gb, but can allocate only 16 gb (Update: MySql) I have:
1) Gygabyte 990FXA UD3 rev 1.2
2) 4 x 8 GB (Kingston 9905403-518.A00LF)
3) AMD FX-8320
Windows detects 32 GB, BIOS also detects 32 GB.
But when OS loaded it does not allow to use more than approximately 13Gb (even not 16 gb).
I tried different software... For example Sysinternals TestLimit. But I detected problem when SQL Server tried to allocate more memory with disabled page file.
If I add pagefile it allows to use this amount of RAM + pagefile size.
So it looks like I can use only half of my RAM.
I tried Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter, Windows 7 x64 Live CD.
I tried all possible combinations of these modules.
Any 2 modules works fine as 16 gb... but not all together..
Resource monitor shows 2nd 16Gb as free not as hardware reserved.
In addition Windows reports strange memory counters in each case:
1) If I use 2 modules it shows me used memory (in task manager): ~2.5 GB
2) if 4 is installed then task manager shows: ~5.5 GB
The same OS just rebooted in different hardware configuration eats different amount of RAM, something strange...
I wrote to Gigabyte Support, but there are not answer yet. I tried all of their BIOS.. nothing...
I also verified msconfig settings... not helps...

A: Finally I have reinstalled OS..
It is faster than delete all possible drivers.
So I will install the same set of software and check which one causes described issue.
UPDATE
After fresh system installation I restored all my stack and tested after each package.
Now I am sure the reason is MySQL x64 (v5.7.14).. it can be that other versions are also affected.
Total amount of locked memory is dependent on innodb_buffer_pool_size
This memory will not be visible in Task Manager and I think it is abnormal.
MariaDB 5.5 has the same issue!

Homebuilder sentiment soars to record high, but lumber prices raise a red flag
September 19, 2020 by admin 0 Comments
Sun Mountain Lumber Superintendent Nelson Bohrer walks past stacks of cut lumber at the saw mill September 12, 2019 in Deer Lodge, Montana.

With demand for housing surging, the nation's homebuilders are positively ebullient.
Builder confidence in the market for single-family homes in September increased 5 points to 83 on the monthly NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index. That's the highest reading in the survey's 35-year history, which matched its last all-time high in August. Anything above 50 is considered positive. The index stood at 68 in September 2019.
All three of the index's components rose to record highs. Current sales conditions rose 4 points to 88. Sales expectations in the next six months increased 6 points to 84. Traffic of prospective buyers increased 9 points to 73.
"The suburban shift for home building is keeping builders busy, supported on the demand side by low interest rates," said NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz. "In another sign of this growing trend, builders in other parts of the country have reported receiving calls from customers in high-density markets asking about relocating."
While housing demand is incredibly strong, builders continue to be dogged by a lack of skilled labor and finished lots. And now, there's a new hurdle — fast-rising prices for lumber due to the Covid-19 crisis and the raging fires in the West.
"Historic traffic numbers have builders seeing positive market conditions, but many in the industry are worried about rising costs and delays for building materials, especially lumber," said NAHB chairman Chuck Fowke, a homebuilder from Tampa, Florida. "More domestic lumber production or tariff relief is needed to avoid a slowdown in the market in the coming months."
Lumber prices have jumped more than 170% since mid-April, adding more than $16,000 to the price of a typical new single-family home, according to the NAHB. Lumber producers shut down in March and April as the pandemic hit the U.S., and did not expect to see the quick surge in housing demand that began in late May. Ramping up production, while protecting workers with social distancing, was not easy, and supply suffered.
Now the Western fires are adding to the strain. Weyerhaeuser, the nation's largest lumber producer, manages about 1.6 million acres of forests in Oregon and 1.3 million acres of forests in Washington. The company operates three mills in Oregon and two in Washington, with one building materials distribution center in each state.
According to a company release Tuesday, "Several of the fires have reached the company's timberlands, but it is too soon to assess the affected acreage or potential business impact. The company will evaluate conditions on the ground when it is safe to do so and will provide more information as appropriate."
Regionally, on a three-month moving average, builder confidence in the Northeast increased 11 points to 76 and rose 9 points to 72 in the Midwest. In the South, sentiment increased 8 points to 79 and in the West it jumped 7 points to 85.
