Hayes & Yeading started the game with an unusual three at the back formation due to the absence of suspended right-back Anthony Furlonge but were soon pushing against the home defence. Charlie Wassmer played an early ball up the right side to Jake Reid who moved into the box on the righthand corner and fired across Louis Wells goal but wide of the far post.
Louie Soares then cut the ball back from the bye-line to Luke Williams, his floated centre being met by Jack Mills who saw his header glance the crossbar on its way over the top. Wassmer was in his normal defensive mode a few minutes later, getting his head to a fierce Shaun McAuley shot and deflecting it away for a corner that Jay Gasson headed well wide at the far stick.
McAuley soon forced a diving stop from Mikhael Jaimez-Ruiz in the United goal with another shot from distance before Manny Williams burst through the United defence, advanced into the box only to be denied by a perfectly timed sliding tackle from skipper Dean Inman just as he was about to pull the trigger.
It was fully 25 minutes before the next chance of any note arrived, Williams collected on the right side and played the ball into the area where Reid helped it on to an advancing Tom Bird on the left, his neat touch created a shooting chance for himself that Louis Wells pushed into the air with Gasson heading over his own goal from under the crossbar.
Bird again went close as the half reached 45 minutes this time latching onto a Frankie Merrifield pass and hitting a shot that struck the side netting of Wells' goal and we went in scoreless at the break.
First chance of the second period went to the home side who were now playing down the Camrose slope as Wes Daly found Williams with a free-kick, his centre return to the 'Stoke skipper saw Daly hit a shot that although always rising only just cleared the bar.
United then started to take charge of procedings. Bird's left wing cross was controlled by Williams who saw his half volley go agonisingly the wrong side of Wells' upright and then on the hour an Adam Everitt free-kick into the box saw Reid hold off Gasson with his back to goal before firing just too high with his shot on the turn.
The breathrough finally came in the 72nd minute and again Everitt's deadball was the catalyst. The left-back's kick from the halfway line was brought down well by Wassmer who turned and raced between two defenders, his shot was blocked by a sliding Adam Green but quick as a flash substitute Kelvin Bossman was onto the loose ball to guide it past Wells into the bottom corner (pictured right).
Williams then went close again for United from 25 yards after collecting a long Jaimez-Ruiz punt that Bossman had managed to chest down despite being flattened by Gasson from behind. The home side had two decent chances of finding an equaliser in the last seven minutes but firstly Matt Partridge's shot from 8 yards out was well defended by Inman and then in the 89th minute a left wing cross was chested down by Robbie Matthews to McAuley who screwed his shot wide from the edge of the box and United saw out six minutes of stoppage time to claim a fourth away Skrill South victory in six attempts.


The hammer strikes down dramatically, ringing deep and continuous. A piano, alone, carries a melody to our hungry ears. Within moments, it is joined by the light caress of cymbals and overdriven guitar. All of this, resinating with orchestral strings, leaves us feeling small among its immensity, but anxious as to what awaits. And thus is the start of Walking With Giant's third offering, but first full length effort, entitled Worlds Unknown. This January 15 release finds frontman Gary Noon, and his studio team, firing on all cylinders.
For those that haven't been made privy to that great secret which is Walking With Giants, allow me to spill the beans. This Baltimore-based entity is the brainchild of guitarist and vocalist, Gary Noon. With dreams of playing with his heroes, he reached out to Sevendust's Clint Lowery, as well as Alter Bridge's Brian Marshall and Scott Phillips, collectively composing two breathtaking EPs, Walking With Giants and One By One. Though Phillips had scheduling conflicts and was thus unable to perform on the team's first full length album, Sevendust's Morgan Rose has taken up the sticks without missing a beat.
While Noon and company continue to provide us with a buffet of irresistibly addictive hard rock tracks, the new release is different in that A) it's longer, and B) it's buttressed by two halves of the title track. In between the bookends entitled "Worlds Unknown" Parts 1 and 2, we are enveloped in a series of songs that overflow with positive energy! "Broken Truth" and "Back To Life" lift the spirit in tone alone, while hard-hitting powerhouses like "Bound" and "Heavy Hand," despite dealing with personal struggle, shine through the darkness with words of determination and perseverance. Perhaps the first track that breaks from this mold for Walking With Giants is the tune entitled "Guilty One," in which Noon struggles with the feeling of being at fault. It takes a strong person to take responsibility for their actions, but the important thing about this song is that though he is made to feel at fault, he never admits defeat. These uplifting lyrics are one of the defining points of Walking With Giants that continue to draw me in time and time again.

William D. Hamilton was born in November 1854 on Penn Avenue in what is now Downtown Pittsburgh. He was the first of at least six children of William and Mary Hamilton, both Irish immigrants. The elder William Hamilton was employed as a moulder and machinist during the 1850's and in the first few years of the 1860s. The Hamilton family moved to East Carson Street on the South Side during the 1850's, and also lived in the West End while William D. Hamilton was a small child.
The Hamilton family's financial position appears to have solidified by 1861, when William Hamilton purchased two adjoining undeveloped lots on Central Street (later Lincoln Avenue; now North Lincoln Avenue) in what is now Allegheny West. By 1865, Hamilton commissioned construction of two houses on the lots: 15 Lincoln Avenue (later 936 North Lincoln Avenue; on the present site of the Rooney garage addition at 940 North Lincoln Avenue) and 17 Lincoln Avenue (demolished in the 1890s to make room for an addition to the Thaw mansion at 930 North Lincoln Avenue). William Hamilton and his family began living at 17 Lincoln Avenue, and Hamilton's widowed mother and other family members lived at 15 Lincoln Avenue.
In 1864, William Hamilton began manufacturing coffins in premises he rented at the rear of 31 Fifth Avenue in Downtown Pittsburgh. By the following year, Hamilton founded the Excelsior Coffin Manufacturing Company, located at the same address. The firm established a factory at 380-382 Penn Avenue, Downtown, and became known as Hamilton, Algeo, Arnold & Company by 1868. William Hamilton's partners were R.K. Algeo of 39 Robinson Street (now General Robinson Street) in Allegheny City and James T. Arnold of 34 Walnut Street in Temperanceville (now the West End).
Records of the 1870 census, the last census to provide information on assets of persons enumerated, reported that the elder William Hamilton owned real estate valued at $35,000 and had a personal estate of $20,000. In 1870, a typical newer brick house of about nine rooms in Hamilton's neighborhood was worth about $10,000.
William Hamilton's firm moved its operations to the foot of Mulberry Street in Manchester, along the Ohio River, and changed its name to Hamilton, Lemmon, Arnold & Company during the 1870s. Hamilton's partners were Brice Lemmon of 79 Page Street (between Manhattan and Chateau Streets; demolished), James T. Arnold of 121 Sheffield Street (later 1227 Sheffield Street; demolished), J.W. Carnahan of Denniston Avenue in Shadyside, John H. Mower of39 Allegheny Avenue (near Reedsdale Street; demolished) and Adam Ammon of 123 Sheffield Street in Manchester (later 1229 Sheffield Street; demolished).
William D. Hamilton, 25, and Caroline Penney Haney, 21, were married in 1880. Caroline Penney Haney Hamilton, born in McKeesport in August 1859, was a daughter of Lewis and Eliza Penney Haney, both born in Pennsylvania. She later served as regent of the Pittsburgh chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
William D. and Caroline P. Hamilton had no children.
Between the late 1870s and mid-1880s, William D. Hamilton worked for Hamilton, Lemmon, Arnold & Company as a varnisher, clerk and manager. Hamilton was not listed in Pittsburgh city directories published in the late 1880s and early 1890s. It is likely that during this time he worked in New York for Chappel, Chase & Maxwell Co., named in his obituary as a firm for which he worked as a young man. The Hamiltons returned to Pittsburgh in about 1891, when William D. Hamilton became a partner in Hamilton, Lemmon, Arnold & Company.
In the early 1890's, the Hamiltons began living at 218 Allegheny Avenue (on the eastern side of Allegheny Avenue near Abdell Street; demolished). The couple remained at 218 Allegheny Avenue until 1895, when they moved into their newly constructed home at 940 West North Avenue (then 21 North Avenue).
Hamilton, Lemmon, Arnold & Company was reorganized as the National Casket Company in about 1896. Although available records do not provide information on the reorganization, the name of the new firm suggests it may have been a consolidation of a number of firms in various cities. It should be noted that at the turn of the century, Pittsburgh became the headquarters of several large manufacturing firms that were formed by national or regional consolidations in the steel, glass, aluminum and brewing industries.


Some days we just have to ask ourselves, "What the Hell?" Yesterday I needed to ask myself that question when I learned of yet another mass shooting and looked at the number of shootings this year. I looked at the number of civilian shootings. We probably should add the police shootings to the civilian violence if we want an accurate picture of the senseless violence happening in our country.
Those of us who have some experience in dealing with violence probably should start speaking up. I'm old. I'm tired and I don't want to drive 45 miles to start walking the halls of our legislative buildings. I've done that. I've made changes in our government policy. I guess I can do it again. Wish someone else would start the dialog that needs to happen.
The dialog about mass shootings needs to happen in every community. We need local government sponsored task forces to focus on gun violence. These task forces need to bring together representatives from the legal system, mental health systems, disability systems, educational systems, and those citizens who work with at-risk populations. At some point, when talking points are being identified, these meetings need to be open to the public for input.
I am not necessarily talking about gun control here. I know one of the current major talking points is regulation of guns, which may be part of the solution. I am more concerned with the social structure around gun violence. We can perhaps make some progress through gun regulation. This seems the common sense approach, but we would still leave the support structure for mass murder in place. My preference is to go for the underlying issues that allow and promote senseless violence.
I am talking about how communities can address the topic of prevention. Where do the perpetrators come from? Where have the perpetrators come into contact with community systems? Where have our systems failed that these angry people are running loose in society without appropriate support systems around them? Can we identify the intervention touchpoints for violent mass offenders? We already know that they all have at least one characteristic in common. Mass murderers do not have the cognitive filters that prevent the vast majority of the population from committing acts of violence.
We also know why some people do not have the filters necessary to prevent them from carrying out horrific acts of violence. Prenatal exposure to various toxins can damage the brain in such a way that the brain cannot communicate within itself to built the filters that stop murderous rage attacks. We also know that broken bonding can prevent the filters from forming. Broken bonding can occur when a child is placed out of home, but it can also occur with a child who has undiagnosed allergies or multiple ear infections among other childhood situations.
The private sector very much needs to be involved in the dialog on gun violence. What can the business sector do to make their communities more safe? Can they sponsor work programs to give disengaged youth a place where they belong? Do they need to change policies for employees so they can be with their children as infants or when they are sick?
Churches are very much at the center of the issue and need to start working on how their policies promote, enable or prevent gun violence. Churches can sponsor programs for children and youth to give youth another place to belong and succeed. They need to examine their teaching to assure that they are not promoting hate and violence.
The entertainment industry needs to take a look at their ethical responsibility around the idea that violence is the solution to every problem. Does exposure to violent video games really promote violence as some suggest or is the root of the problem exposure to a chemical?
At this point, we really don't know why mass shooters and trigger-happy cops do not have the cognitive filters necessary to prevent violent acting out. We talk about stress and mental health issues. How do these play into the whole picture of what has become domestic terrorism?
We will need to address the issue of government agencies and businesses that do not want to find the solutions that will prevent mass violence. We need to face the fact that some people profit from mass shootings, and they will shove people into walls and step on small women to keep their profits. However, we shouldn't let the lowest levels of humanity prevent us from building the type of communities where we can go about our business in relative safety.
I can make some guesses about what we will find when we start defining and exploring the problem. The actual perpetrators are probably only the foam on a whole lake of slimy scum. We will find manipulators and enablers. We will find big money intent on perpetrating the problem. We will find deniers. We will find evil, lots and lots of just plain evil perpetuated by a sub-human species intent only on their own profits and prestige.
The good news is that there are more of us than there are evil people profiting off of mass shootings. There are more of us than there are people without the brain connections to filter out violent behavior. There are more of us than there are indolent government officials. There are move of us, and we have made a difference in the past. We have taken lead out of paint. We have gotten labels on cigarette packages. We got DDT banned. We have cleaned up our air. We have raised awareness about drinking when pregnant. We can and will stop random mass shootings.
Please come back later this week for the second half of this article that outlines an action plan anybody can follow to move us toward a healthier society.

It has often been documented that one's life passes before one in a near death situation, and then a bright light appears. But what about experiences that are not quite that close to death, but are pretty scary anyhow? We all have them. Here are some of mine.
My husband's position as the group geophysicist for a large international mining group in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) often took him to remote and isolated regions. The ongoing war with communist-trained terrorists who crossed our borders, and raped, tortured and murdered the innocent had caused the company to implement a policy disallowing women and children from traveling with their husbands to out-of-the-way areas. We all know rules are made to be broken, and when David invited me to accompany him to Sengwa coal field, I conned a friend into taking care of our children for a few days.
Most of the company Land Rovers were landmine-protected—reinforced with thick steel plate underneath, but David chose to use the fancy Land Rover with the leather bucket seats and softer suspension—the one that wasn't mine-protected. He wanted me to be more comfortable. I wasn't. I sat as lightly as I could—if it's possible to sit lightly—the entire journey of over 100 miles of dirt road.
Needless to say, I was more than a little relieved when we arrived at the Sengwa mine compound in one piece. The relief was short-lived. A military unit had commandeered the complex, and were digging trenches and laying sandbags. We were told they were expecting to be mortared that night. Turning around and going home on those roads at night was not an option.
As it turned out, the attack didn't come. We spent a restless night inside the building listening to the radio communications, but come morning the danger had passed. The only incident reported was that the local chief had been killed by a land mine overnight, but thankfully, the villagers had not been attacked.
I was thrilled when our Land Rover wouldn't start and we had to take one of the mine-protected vehicles for the return journey, which was uneventful until we rounded a bend and almost ran into a herd of elephants. The elephants in that area were known to be aggressive, and had picked up a few vehicles and thrown them around and trampled them. We moved way back, and waited for them to head off into the bush.
Back at home on a later date, I was riding my horse, Calypso, alone in a remote corner of a sizeable cattle ranch. I stopped to let him drink at a water trough, and as I glanced up into the thick brush facing me, I caught movement. The shadowy silhouette of someone lifting something to their shoulders, like they were aiming a rifle—at me. Terrorists were known to pass through our area, but they didn't generally attack anyone there because the country's borders were too far away for a quick retreat. I forced myself to act calm, although my heart hammered as I turned Calypso around and walked away. Knowing that someone is aiming a rifle at your back is terrifying, and it took all my will-power not to spur Calypso into a gallop. To this day I often wonder who it was in those bushes, and if I really was in danger.
I think we all find ourselves in a perilous situation at least once in our lives, and each and every one of us has a story to tell. The awesome thing about people is that everyone's story is totally different, and I love hearing them. Maybe you could tell us yours in the comments section.

How differently did your mind and heart respond when the news reporter used the following terms instead of plain English: Collateral damage instead of death and property destruction; downsizing instead firing; economically disadvantaged instead of poor; mishap instead of catastrophe. There's also outsourced and faith-based, which some would label doublespeak.
In 1974, the National Council of Teachers of English established a Doublespeak Award, given annually to "public speakers who have perpetuated language that is grossly deceptive, evasive, euphemistic, confusing, or self-centered." Recipients have included the CIA, Exxon Corporation, the U.S. Department of Defense (three times), Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Glenn Beck.
What person or organization would you nominate for the Doublespeak Award, whether public speakers, writers, or other "taxpayers"—oops, are all citizens taxpayers? And please explain the criteria for your selection.
This author thinks of herself as a teacher, apprentice, traveler and activist. Her inspiration comes from life experiences and an overactive imagination (nothing new to authors) and by the diverse novels she reads (but primarily science fiction). This summer she was stunned to receive an Excellence in Teaching award from her employer, Davenport University. Now if she could only get one of those equally prestigious awards for her novel, Pieces of You or the one just begun, The Battle of Jericho, 2035. Actually, her primary purpose for writing is to make readers think about questions we all may be asking.

Q: onClick event won't trigger I'm building a basketball score clock app.  I got the main timer working well.  When I click on it it starts the clock and when I click again it stops the clock.  This works perfect.
I've instantiated a second object that is for the shot clock.  However, the onClick event isn't firing at all for the second textview.
Both onClick events are set on a TextView element.  I have no idea why the method onClickShotClock(View view) is not firing when I click on the second Text View.
I know that the object is instantiated correctly because it is setting the value correctly and the value is set through the code to instantiate it.
Can anyone see what this isn't working?
package com.example.ultimatescoreclock;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.Window;
import android.view.WindowManager;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.os.CountDownTimer;
import com.example.ultimatescoreclock.ScoreClock;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    TextView strMainClock, strShotClock;
    ScoreClock timerMainClock, timerShotClock;
    long msSavedMainClock = 0;
    long msSavedShotClock = 0;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        strMainClock = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.clockMain);
        strShotClock = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.clockShot);

        timerMainClock = new ScoreClock( 13000, 100, strMainClock );
        timerShotClock = new ScoreClock( 8000, 100, strShotClock );

        strMainClock.setText( timerMainClock.getTimeLeft() );
        strShotClock.setText( timerShotClock.getTimeLeft() );
    }

    @Override

            timerMainClock.isRunning = !timerMainClock.isRunning;
        } else {

            msSavedMainClock = timerMainClock.msRemaining;
            timerMainClock.isRunning = !timerMainClock.isRunning;

                timerShotClock = new ScoreClock( msSavedShotClock, 100, strShotClock );

            timerShotClock.start();

            timerShotClock.cancel();
            msSavedShotClock = timerShotClock.msRemaining;
            timerShotClock.isRunning = !timerShotClock.isRunning;
        }
        */
    }

}

A: According to TextView onClick() not working, you need to set

android:clickable="true"

to TextViews since they aren't clickable by default.
You can also programmatically attach OnClickListeners like so:
strShotClick.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        onShotClockClick(v);
    }
});

This next product I had to get my hands on for several reasons. First off you guys know what an environmentally conscious family the Poole household is. Second, you all know we are quite the entertainers as we throw parties all year long for various holidays. And thirdly, even though I am from the North, My husband and daughter are from the South, so I have a special love in my heart for the southern way of life!
I recently discovered an all around awesome tool that I knew I would need for my kitchen/bar at home - The Mason Shaker! "Inspired by the classic southern icon, the Mason jar, the Mason Shaker is a unique four-piece cocktail shaker that harkens to American eras past."
I love that not only the idea and concept of this wonderful bar tool is to use the classic mason jars (thinking back to the good ole' moonshiner days) but that I can simply rinse the lid/shaker portion and use it for several different kinds of drinks all while reusing my canning jars which I no longer have lids for!
Each is made from glass and high quality stainless steel with a sleek and stylish design sure to make a center piece of any home bar. I love that they add its made with "a Shot of Southern Sensibility". We recently had an unexpected couples game night and we decided to make a run for the liquor store only to get a fifth of Rum Chata which just happened to warm.
Never was there a more perfect time to break out our Mason Jar Shaker to chill our tasty shots! The only problem we found was that it did leak a little when we tried to pour it into the shot glasses. This could have been really caused by us and our lack of coordination but it seemed to leak from the cap part if not properly pushed all the way on.
Another nice perk of this shaker is that because it is made of glass you can keep it in a cooler or refrigerator to help with chilling your beverages. Although I would be careful pouring anything of a major temperature difference into a jar which has been chilled because glass can shatter easily if the change is too drastic.
Recommendation: Definitely worth the purchase, especially when you look at the quality and endless possibilities. These can be washed and reused just as easily as anything out there. I love this style and the idea that I can reuse the lid on most any jar of this type!
Giveaway: Mason Shaker is going to give one of A Lucky Ladybug's lucky readers a Mason Shaker of their own!
OMG how awesome. I love mason jars, and I need a shaker. I totally want one of these!!
These are so cute! I totally have to buy one!
That's neat. I need something like that because my kids are hyper and break jar at times.
Super cute and thanks for sharing!!!
That is so cool!! My sis is mason jar obessed! She'd love one!

Regions Science Everyday Russia
By Svetlana Tarasova
Name: Svetlana Tarasova
Profession: Photographer
City: Kaluga
How long have you been doing photography? About a year.
Can you give us a short description of your city? Where is it located? What is it famous for? Kaluga is a city located in the central part of European Russia, and is the capital of the Kaluga region. The city stands on the banks of the Oka River, about 190 km southwest of Moscow. It is a railway station on the Moscow-Kiev line.
The founding date of Kaluga is not known, but it is some time in the first part of the fourteenth century. The first written mention of Kaluga was in 1371. It was then a small fortress of the Moscow state.
Kaluga is known first of all because of Konstantin Tsiolkovsky (the Russian space program founder). He was living and working in Kaluga in 1892-1935. That's why the city is often called the cradle of the Russian space exploration.
The city has a Space Museum – the world's first and largest museum in Russia about space exploration. It was created with the direct participation of Sergei Korolev and Yuri Gagarin.
What are some things that only locals would know about the city?
One of the most famous Russian photography schools is in Kaluga.
Kaluga is also famous for its great number of churches.
There are many preserved historical places and cosy old yards, making the town a favorite destination for filmmakers.
Which places or sites are a must for someone to see if they visit your city?
Korobov Chambers (an example of "chamber architecture" from the end of the 17th century)
Zolotaryov Estate (the end of the 18th - early 19th centuries)
Trinity Cathedral (1786-1819)
Kaluga Gostiny Dvor, built by the famous architect Pyotr Romanovich Nikitin (1784)
The Stone Bridge across Berezuysky Ravine (1775-1778), one of the largest viaducts in Russia (160 meters).
There are also many museums, from The House-Museum of Tsiolkovsky (Tsiolkovsky Street, 79/81) and The House Museum ofChizhevsky (Moskovskaya Street, 62), to these others:
Kaluga Regional Art Museum (Lenin Street, 104)
Kaluga Regional Museum of Local Lore (Pushkin Street, 14)
Tsiolkovsky State Museum of the History of Cosmonautics (Academician Korolev Street, 2)
Kaluga Planetarium (Academician Korolev Street, 2)
The Museum of Crafts, Architecture and Life (Kirov Street, 45/16)

Beloved Movie President Bill Pullman Talks Political Climate: 'Let's Decide Who We Are' (Video)
SXSW: Actor reflects on American identity promoting Western "Ballad of Lefty Brown"
Matt Donnelly | March 12, 2017 @ 10:01 AM	Last Updated: March 12, 2017 @ 3:08 PM
Bill Pullman is best known for playing the pep-talkiest American president in movie history, starring as President Thomas Whitmore in Roland Emmerich's "Independence Day."
So, naturally, we asked him to weigh in on the current state of American politics when he visited TheWrap's South by Southwest interview studio in Austin, Texas.
Pullman was in town promoting his new Western "The Ballad of Lefty Brown," where he plays a lifelong sidekick who must step up when his hero companion (Peter Fonda) dies.

"We've been asleep," Pullman said during a discussion about the Western movie genre and American identity.
"Everybody is accepting these virtues of what we are, who we are," he continued. "We've started on this journey, and it's a hell hole… but we're going to get through it."

Every 'SNL' Alec Baldwin Donald Trump Sketch Ranked, From Least to Most Retweetable (Photos)
We're in for at least (probably) two more years of Donald Trump as President of the United States. That means lots of bad things and one particularly great thing: We're in for a lot more Alec Baldwin impersonations of Trump on "Saturday Night Live." From the often ridiculous phrases to the weird outbursts, "SNL" has captured all of it. In fact, the sketches often seem to struggle to surpass reality in terms of absurdity. But they get there. Here's a list of every Baldwin-as-Trump "SNL" sketch, ranked from least to most hilarious, with links to the sketches.
29. Trump's Classroom Cold Open (Dec. 3, 2016)
Trump retweets ridiculous people, like a 16-year-old and a white supremacist. This one's sadder than it is funny, though, because most of it doesn't even require jokes. You can watch that sketch here.
28. Donald Trump Prepares Cold Open (Nov. 19, 2016)
Fresh off winning the election, Trump's completely unprepared. We already know that Mike Pence will do everything, but good effort, "SNL." You can watch that sketch here.
27. Trump's Christmas Cold Open (Dec. 17, 2016)
Vladimir Putin and Rex Tillerson drop by Trump Tower for Christmas. This one definitely brings to mind the phrase, "No puppet, no puppet." It's also, perhaps, the most outright terrifying of all of these. You can watch that sketch here.
26. The O'Reilly Factor with Donald Trump (April 8, 2017)
Alec Baldwin played both a scandalized Bill O'Reilly and Trump, who appeared on O'Reilly's show to defend him. A clueless Trump is a nice addition to this one but he's ultimately just an addition to another gag. You can watch the sketch here.
25. Donald Trump vs. Hillary Clinton — Debate Three Cold Open (Oct. 22, 2016)
Trump is winning "every single poll taken outside a Cracker Barrel," but it's Kate McKinnon as Hillary Clinton who steals this one — kind of like in real life. You can watch that sketch here.
24. Donald Trump vs. Hillary Clinton — Debate 1 Cold Open (Oct. 1, 2016)
The first debate really found Baldwin hitting the Trump stride. It's mostly just him shouting "Gina" in a very insistent tone (his weird pronunciation of "China"). "Yuge Gina" gets a lot of mileage though. You can watch that sketch here.
23. Trump Takes the Appeals Court to 'The People's Court' (Feb. 11, 2017)
"SNL" made good on Trump's all-caps "SEE YOU IN COURT" tweet by taking the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to "The People's Court." But Judge Milian hassling Trump about his travel ban was a bit too short to really take off. Watch the sketch here.
22. White House Christmas Cold Open (Dec. 2. 2017)
Donald Trump is visited by "the ghost of witness flipped," Gen. Michael Flynn, but it's Kate McKinnon's Hillary Clinton who steals the sketch. Watch the video here.
21. Sean Spicer Confronts Trump (May 13, 2017)
After a tough White House Press Briefing, Melissa McCarthy's Press Secretary Sean Spicer rode his motorized podium to New York to confront Trump on lies. The pair wound up making out. Watch the sketch here.
20. Donald Trump Phoenix Rally Cold Open (Aug. 24, 2016)
Trump gives a goodbye to Steve Bannon and pledges to build the Wall on the U.S.-Mexico border and make the American tax payer pay for it. Watch the sketch here.
19. Trump's People (April 8, 2017)
Trump checks in with rural white Americans after ordering an airstrike on Syria. Desperate to keep everyone happy, he promises everyone will have coal jobs for the rest of their lives and that he'll slash minimum wage. The final joke about "finger chili" is a standout moment. Watch the sketch right here.
18. Press Conference With Baltic Leaders (April 7, 2018)
Trump meets with leaders from the Baltics and gets so bored that he finally tells America what he really thinks about the presidency. Watch the sketch here.
17. Fox & Friends Cold Open (Feb. 5)
Trump called in to his favorite show, Fox News' "Fox & Friends," for a quick pick-me-up after his State of the Union address. Trump isn't the complete focus of this one, but when he shows up to tout the address, he gets in some good jokes -- like how "people" are saying the SOTU was better than Martin Luther King's "I Dream of Jeannie" speech. Watch the sketch here.
16. VP Debate Cold Open (Oct. 8, 2o16)
Trump nabs the spotlight from the vice presidential debate and realizes he needs to be a lot more careful about talking about sexually assaulting people while wearing hot mics. Describing himself as a gross groping hurricane is hilariously cringe-worthy. You can watch that sketch here.
15. Trump might have ties to Zorblat-9 as aliens invade (March 11, 2017)
Trump spoke to American troops to rally them in a battle against super-powerful space aliens. Unfortunately, Trump's old standbys like "we don't win anymore" and "we're going to bring coal back" were not all that helpful. Most of the rhetoric is stuff we've heard before, but Leslie Jones' and Sasheer Zamata's moments near the end elevate the sketch. Watch the sketch here.
14. White House Tree Trimming Cold Open (Dec. 16, 2017)
Joined by his family, Mike Pence, Jeff Sessions, Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Kellyanne Conway, Trump decks his Christmas tree by remembering the losers in his first year as president. Watch the video here.
13. Trump call with Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz (Sept. 30, 2016)
Trump fields a call with Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz of San Juan, Puerto Rico, and reminds her that if the U.S. territory should have invested in FEMA Prime if it wanted fast hurricane relief. Watch the sketch here.
12. Trump Administration sings "Hallelujah" (May 20, 2017)
The final cold open of the season references Kate McKinnon's cold open as Hillary Clinton, making a perfect joke about Donald Trump's week of news scandals. Scarlett Johansson even returned for a quick guest appearance to reprise her role as Ivanka Trump. Watch it here.
11. Hillary Clinton/Donald Trump Cold Open (Nov. 5, 2016)
CNN doesn't care that Trump literally kisses the FBI, Putin and the KKK, instead pestering Hillary about emails. Alec and Kate heartwarming run through Times Square is the real sweet spot of the sketch. You can watch that sketch here.
10. Donald Trump gives Bannon and Kushner the 'Apprentice' Treatment (April 15, 2017)
After a week of reports about infighting between Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner, "SNL" pits the two advisers against each other in to see who will be eliminated. Spoiler alert: It's Bannon. Watch the sketch here.
9. Donald Trump Trucker Rally Did Cold Open (Oct. 14, 2017)
Baldwin's Trump continues to make Vice President Mike Pence (Beck Bennett) walk out of things in protest, including a basketball game, a Starbucks and a gay wedding. Watch the sketch here.
8. Donald Trump vs. Hillary Clinton Town Hall Debate Cold Open (Oct. 15, 2016)
Of all the debates, the second was the funniest. Trump lurking in the background and slipping past Hillary like he's the shark in a "Jaws" movie completely captures the awkwardness of the real event. You can watch that sketch here.
7. Paul Manafort's House Cold Open (Nov. 4, 2017)
After Robert Mueller indicts Paul Manafort, Trump offers a pardon plan: Pretend he's a Thanksgiving turkey. Watch the video here.
6. Donald Trump Robert Mueller Cold Open (May 19, 2018)
Riffing on the finale of "The Sopranos," Trump meets with members of his inner circle at a restaurant, including Ben Stiller's Michael Cohen, only to find Robert De Niro's Robert Mueller watching him. Check out the sketch here.
5. Donald Trump Press Conference Cold Open (Jan. 14, 2017)
It might be the lowest-brow of the sketches, but Trump accidentally talking about urine throughout his press conference is bested only by the line, "I'm not talking about the pee-pee, because it didn't happen and it wasn't as cool as it sounds." You can watch that sketch here.
4. Donald Trump and Steve Bannon call world leaders (Feb. 4, 2017)
"SNL" channels two weeks of executive actions and other Trump news items to turn out a ton of jokes that channel absurdity while still finding new ways to be funny. Watch the sketch here.
3. Donald Trump interview with Lester Holt (May 13, 2017)
After firing former FBI Director James Comey, Trump realized he could say just about anything with no consequences. He tried it out in an interview with Lester Holt. Watch the sketch here.
2. Presidential Address (March 4, 2018)
Trump addresses the gun control debate and talks about how America is in the top 5 countries in the world -- but lags behind Wakanda, the fictional African nation from the movie "Black Panther." Watch the sketch here.
1. Michael Cohen Wiretap Cold Open (May 5, 2018)
Trump's wiretapped attorney, Michael Cohen, accidentally calls and incriminates Trump -- along with everybody else -- in a star-studded cold-open that ends with a surprise appearance by the real life Stormy Daniels. Watch it here.

From Slavery to Poverty: The Racial Origins of Welfare in New York, 1840-1918 / Gunja SenGupta
At the height of summer in August 1996, The New Republic featured a front cover that depicted a young African American woman smoking a cigarette while feeding her baby. The words 'Day of Reckoning' were emblazoned in bold letters across the image, and the exhortation by the editors to 'Sign the Welfare Bill Now' was prominently placed underneath the photograph.
Dark Side of the Moon: Wernher von Braun, the Third Reich, and the Space Race / Wayne Biddle
Wayne Biddle's Dark Side of the Moon joins a growing list of Wernher von Braun biographies published in the last two decades in Germany and the United States.(1) This renewed interest in the charismatic rocket engineer and manager of both the V-2 program for the Nazi regime and the Saturn V rocket development program for NASA seems reflective of a major re-eva
Nature and History in the Potomac Country: From Hunter-Gatherers to the Age of Jefferson / James D. Rice
In the opening of his recent volume, Nature and History in the Potomac Country, historian James D. Rice informs his readers that the idea for the book began with what he perceived as a 'hole in the map' (p. 1).
Swimming the Christian Atlantic: Judeoconversos, Afroiberians and Amerindians in the Seventeenth Century / Jonathan Schorsch
The growth of academic interest in the 'Iberian Atlantic World' during the last decade has also witnessed the expansion of scholarship on the presence of, and role played in it by, Judeoconversos (or 'New Christians'): the descendants of Jews who were converted (often by force) to Christianity in the 14th and 15th centuries.
Conservatism in America: Making Sense of the American Right / Paul Edward Gottfried
Elizabethtown College humanities Professor Paul Edward Gottfried's latest book on American conservatism provides a complex analysis of the centrality of value rhetoric in the post-Second World War conservative movement.
When London Was Capital of America / Julie Flavell
The 'shock city' of the 18th century , London was always interesting to onlookers, but between 1763 and 1776 it was particularly interesting. It was the capital city of one of the most successful Great Powers, one that had just emerged the winner in the war with France.
Ellington's America / Harvey G. Cohen
For more than half its existence as a discrete though intensely varied musical form, jazz lacked a scholarly literature. Periodicals ruled the roost. In the USA Metronome, founded in 1881, and Downbeat, first published in 1936, dominated, reviewing records, profiling leading instrumentalists and chronicling music industry gossip.
A Short History of Celebrity / Fred Inglis
Celebrity is becoming a hot topic for academics of all kinds, witnessed by the launch of the journal Celebrity Studies earlier this year.
New York Hustlers: Masculinity and Sex in Modern America / Barry Reay
Issues related to homosexuality are currently at the forefront of public discourse. Globally, but particularly in the United States, marriage equity, military service, queer youth and bullying are not just matters of policy debate, but have engaged popular concern and action as well.
Men of Color to Arms! Black Soldiers, Indian Wars and the Quest for Equality / Elizabeth Leonard
In the late 1980s, a promising young African-American actor named Denzel Washington was asked to take a leading role in the movie, Glory. Directed by Edward Zwick, a white liberal, Glory told the story of a relatively minor action in the American Civil War.

Q: How to achieve this effect with AS3 A client has asked for a spinning wheel as part of their navigation. The user is faced with the edge of the wheel with the various navigation items on there, and they spin it with a click/drag of their mouse. Whatever it stops on is what page they are presented with. The only example of this I could find to help illustrate what I want is on this website.
I have no idea where to even begin with this effect. Is there anyone who could offer some assistance. I don't need code as I'm quite good with ActionScript 3, I just need a discussion about the way to do it as I'm stuck here.
Cheers,
Dan

A: I don't think it's that difficult:

*

*calculate the velocity as a diff of two mouse positions

*don't use real 3D just smart masking, narrower on the top and bottom

*use some smart transparent overlays to generate those shadows and highlights, they don't move at all

*transform the height of the thumbnail according to cosine function - it's 100% in the middle and 0% on the top and bottom.

Otherwise you may try Papervision3D but I strongly recommend not to, it would overcomplicate your project.
good luck
Daniel

A: I decompiled the swf. He's using Alternativa 3D but you could just as easily use Away3D or Papervision. Personally I prefer Away. Just make a 3D ring and texture the edge.

Dan Aykroyd Blames the New 'Ghostbusters' Director For the Reboot's Problems
Johnny Brayson
Monday, 05 June 2017 - 8:15PM
The 2015 Ghostbusters reboot wasn't the apocalyptic disaster some on the internet predicted it would be, but it didn't exactly become the blockbuster franchise-starter Sony was hoping for, either.
The movie was decent, and made $229 million worldwide - but since the film cost nearly $150 million to make before taking into account its massive budget, it's almost certain that the movie lost a good deal of money (as a general rule of thumb, most films have to earn double their budget at the box office to turn a profit). Those lackluster results mean a sequel is not likely, and may have even killed the franchise.
Now, original Ghostbusters star Dan Aykroyd, who served as a producer on the new film, is placing the blame for that squarely on the shoulders of director Paul Feig. Aykroyd has praised the film in the past, and he still says it was a good movie and that he enjoyed the cast. His problem, though, lies with the cost, which is hard to argue with. The film's third act is a ridiculous CGI extravaganza that looks like it could have come from any generic modern action blockbuster, but feels wildly out of place in Ghostbusters.
Aykroyd further claims that Feig's refusal to listen to him on certain scenes led to massive and costly reshoots. Here's what the actor said during a recent appearance on British talk show, Sunday Brunch:
"The girls are great in it. Kate McKinnon, Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig - what a wonderful, wonderful players they are - and Leslie Jones. I was really happy with the movie, but it cost too much. And Sony does not like to lose money. It made a lot of money around the world but it just cost too much, making it economically not feasible to do another one.
So that's too bad - the director, he spent too much on it. He didn't shoot scenes we suggested to him, several scenes that were going to be needed, and he said, 'No, we don't need them,' and then we tested the movie and they needed them and he had to go back - about $30 to $40 million in reshoots. So, yeah, he will not be back on the Sony lot anytime soon."
Going so far as to say that Sony won't work with the director anymore is a pretty serious accusation, and while we're not sure how much sway Aykroyd holds at the studio, it's certainly telling that he was confident enough to make that declaration. Aykroyd had for years tried to get a Ghostbusters sequel made that would have seen the old cast hand over the torch to a new generation, but Sony preferred Feig's hard reboot version instead, and its failure seems to have left Aykroyd feeling somewhat vindicated, while still clearly holding on to some bitterness.
So what does the future hold for Ghostbusters? Well, original franchise director Ivan Reitman, who also served as a producer on the new film and who was Team Aykroyd, recently announced plans for a new animated film to be released in 2019 or 2020. Will that actually happen? We have no idea, but if it does, don't expect Paul Feig to be involved.
Don't hold back, Dan. #Ghostbusters pic.twitter.com/WtZ0MbRsmk

Q: Find positions where two matrices differ I have two matrices A and B of identical dimensions. What's the simplest (shortest) way to find the indices of differing elements?

A: I've failed to find a duplicate so:
SparseArray[A - B]["NonzeroPositions"]

Position[A - B, x_ /; x != 0., {2}]

I hope those are numeric matrices, if not then you have to watch out on the Condition in the second solution.


In gear design, excessive tooth contact stresses and bending stresses are one of the prime gear failure factors; therefore, its analysis is critical to shortening the possibility of gear tooth failure. In the present work, the tooth bending stresses and contact stresses in a helical gear pair is calculated using AGMA theory and finite element analysis (FEA). The modelling of the helical gear pair is carried out in CREO and ANSYS is used for FEA. It is observed that the bending stresses and contact stresses, both decreases with an increase in the helix angle if pressure angle remains constant. However, the error in the calculation by AGMA and FEA is higher for the bending stresses than the contact stresses and bending stresses.

Advice for learning and understanding rhythm, and how it works.
Discussion in 'Playing and Technique' started by Jaradc, Sep 8, 2008.
I've bounced around from teacher to teacher the past few years learning "the basics". All of the teachers insisted that i start over again, which i willingly abided. But after a few weeks, or in some cases months, of the basics of scales i grew bored and stopped to learn by myself, and to save money because i felt like i wasnt learning anything new.
When i write a song, I initially create (sometimes on a random occasion) a cool sounding riff. Half the time im stuck with this riff, because i cant find anything in my rarely creative mind to match up with this melody in my head.
Is there any books/videos/etc that i could buy that would help myself better understand the art of basic theory of music, and how chord (a) matches with chord (b), and so on. Sorry if i am doing a bad job of explaining what i want.
To better refine my guitar teachers, they were all great teachers but i felt like i was being focused more around lead playing rather than rhythm. I also feel like i learn better by myself with books.
Thanks guys, any help would be great!
After reading your post I think what you are asking is not about rhythm but rather harmony. To sum it up briefly, rhythm is about subdividing the beat. Harmony is about finding consonant or dissonant sounds to augment your melody. Please provide some feedback as to exactly which entity you are inquiring. This will enable other musicians to give you proper advice.
Yeah, I was a bit confused about what you meant too. I agree that a lot of teachers start this "learn some scales and then improv with them" schtick which goes nowhere. I've been there , done that with a bunch of teachers too.
Learn some songs, and you will be letting the great composers teach you.
Knowing scales is not bad. getting disillusioned with playing because that's all you are getting is bad. Lessons should contain music as well as theory and exercises.
Thanks for the response, Kendrick you are correct about my miss interpretation. Basically what i would like to figure out, if i'm playing a song and the chorus is a G chord, what would sound good with a G chord to make a breakdown/verse/and so on.
Have you asked your teacher(s) to show you some chord theory? It sounds like there may be a communication issue.
How many songs do you know how to play? After you get enough songs under your belt, you get familiar with the sound conveyed by certain chord changes. Eventually, it becomes apparent that a handful of chord changes occur again and again and again. As you recognize this, you begin to learn what makes music tick from a harmonic standpoint. This can then guide you in creating new songs.
Listening and learning tunes is critical. A teacher cannot simply give you this experience. What a teacher can do is teach you some theory that can help you make sense of what is going on in your favorite music. A little basic theory can help you, for instance, know what chords lie in a particular key. Also, how chords are constructed is very helpful. This is very useful info for making music.
Actually, you can do a websearch on any of these topics and get info to help understand "if i'm playing a song and the chorus is a G chord, what would sound good with a G chord to make a breakdown/verse/and so on"
Great! Thanks for the info guys! Much help.

Improving hygiene in the villages
Health: A two-day inception workshop on Rural Sanitation and Hygiene Programme (RSAHP) ended in Trashigang on April 22.
Organised by the Department of Public Health in collaboration with SNV and UNICEF, the primary objective of the programme is to provide people in rural areas access to safe, sufficient and sustainable sanitation facilities through adoption of hygienic practices.
During the two days, participants comprising of gups, gewog administrative officers and health workers from the 15 gewogs of Trashigang were briefed on the programme. A work plan for the dzongkhag was developed and baseline data to monitor progress in the future was established.
According to the Executive Engineer with the Public Health Engineering Division (PHED), NB Yonzan, the programme will continue for two years in the dzongkhag.
"RSAHP was incepted considering the multi-dimensional poverty index, access to improved sanitation and hygienic use of sanitation facilities in the country," he said. "Through such workshops, we would also be familiarising participants on a systematic method for data collection so that we can place timely interventions based on precise figures."
Going by the annual health survey figures, the eastern region was found to have comparatively a poor sanitation and hygiene conditions. Of the six eastern dzongkhags, Lhuentse has the poorest sanitation followed by Pemagatshel and Samdrupjongkhar.
Trashigang, on the other hand, is faring better. Health officials in the dzongkhag confirmed that 60 percent of the households in Trashigang have improved sanitation while a 100 percent achievement is expected by 2016. Improved sanitation is defined as the hygienic separation of human excreta from human contact.
Nationwide figures reflected in the annual health bulletin show that 58.4 percent of the population has improved sanitation today. For the 41.6 percent with unimproved sanitation. 96 percent of the people only have basic sanitation while four percent don't even have toilets. This is why waterborne diseases like diarrhoea and dysentery didn't witness significant drops in the last six years.
Therefore, RSAHP is being implemented across nine dzongkhags since 2014. PHED has a national target of implementing the programme in all 20 dzongkhags by 2018.
Through the programme, demand for improved sanitation would be created through the Community Development for Health (CDH) workshops. CHD methodology seeks to encourage ownership through community led approaches and advocacy programmes at the grassroot level.
"CDH workshop methodology uses behavioural change tools to build individual and community commitment to changing the health environment. For instance, encouraging self-discovery of the linkages between water and sanitation is one aspect of it," NB Yonzan said. "Strengthening sanitation supply chains and WASH governance are other components of RSAHP."
Officials from PHED added that improved sanitation would result in reduced child mortality, diarrhoeal morbidity and stunting. Attendance of a female students in schools is expected to increase by 20 to 23 percent while using a toilet at home instead of building it metres away. Toilets at home would save time and increase productivity of household members.
"On the other hand, bringing in behavioural changes, manpower shortage, lack of uniform data and achieving the national target are few major challenges we are facing," NB Yonzan said.

My dad organized a two game age 65 plus "tournament" on Oct 29th & 30th, 2012 to play a team from Minneapolis in Duluth. He got players from his afternoon group, another person's afternoon group, plus a few others for the Thunder Bay team. He was wondering if I had a trophy he could use for the "tournament". I modified one I had previously acquired at a yard sale. It was originally a Women's bowling trophy.
Took the women's bowler figure off the top of the trophy and replaced it with a bolt. Sanded and repainted the crown, washed the red velvet like material and replaced the old newspaper stuffing it with newer paper. Reused some of the 'jewels' that had not fallen off and got some more from the dollar store.
Made a label to stick over the silver coloured engraved area on front and made some stickers of the current (and historic) highway sign on this side of the border (King's Highway 61) and of the old Minnesota Highway 61 that did run through Minneapolis/St. Paul up to the Canadian border (now is broken into U.S. Highway 61, I 35, and State Highway 61).
Glued a glass doorknob that had fell off of my spare room door on top of the crown. Here are a couple pics of the front and sides of the finished trophy.
As of yet, don't have any action shots of the games or team pics but have a few pics.
My dad (on right) with the other team's captain.

A couple of the players outside the arena (Bob and Walter).
Some tailgating in the parking lot. On all accounts the food and hospitality provided by the other team was great.

'iPhone 12' likely to ship in the same timeframe that the iPhone X did
Posted: April 27, 2020 11:30AM
in General Discussion edited June 2020
More sources are claiming that Apple's 2020 iPhones will be pushed back by around a month, because of how COVID-19 has affected engineering testing, and demand.
Renders made from a combination of leaked CAD designs and allegedly separately sourced information
Following analyst Ming-Chi Kuo's claim that the "iPhone 12" will be delayed by a month, the Wall Street Journal suggests that new sources are confirming the new schedule. Alongside reports that the delay is due to how Apple's regular engineering testing schedule has been disrupted, it's now also said that the iPhones will be released later because of how the coronavirus has affected demand.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Apple would ordinarily be ramping up production of finalized iPhones starting in July, but that mass-production will be delayed by around a month. It reports that Apple's major iPhone assembler, Foxconn, has halted hiring.
There doesn't appear to be any new corroborating information in the report. Multiple analysts and supply chain sources have been discussing a potential delay for the "iPhone 12" for some time."
Citing unnamed sources, said to be familiar with the changes, the publication also says that Apple is now cutting the number of phones it plans to make in the second half of 2020 by as much as 20%. It's not clear, however, whether that 20% would then be made up in early 2021.
Previously, suppliers have indicated that Apple was pressing ahead with what they believed were unrealistic sales estimates. Those suppliers were reportedly expecting Apple to revise its plans, which it may now have done.
Ming-Chi Kuo's report explained that the "iPhone 12" range should now be in final engineering and verification tests, but that the laboratories that perform these operations are currently closed.
As recently as the start of April 2020, Foxconn claimed that production was on schedule. However, subsequently Apple has reportedly had to stop sending engineers to China. Also, the idea that Apple might choose to delay production because of issues over user demand has previously been reported.
Should the reports be accurate, this also isn't the first time that Apple has shipped a new iPhone later than the normal timeframe. These report suggest that the "iPhone 12" will ship closer to when the iPhone X and iPhone XR did.

If it's only delayed a month that would be the story. It would be no surprise if it's more like 2 months
DAalseth Posts: 2,558member
This is the time of year when the Macsphere is always full of stories about upcoming product releases. They always range from will ship early, to ship on time, to be delayed, to won't ship at all. In reality nobody outside of the top end of Apple has any idea, and, to be honest, it's really too early for them to have hard dates yet either. So it might ship late, it might not. We won't know for sure until somebody on stage says "This is the new iPhone 12 shipping today". Until then everyone's crystal ball is foggy.
DAalseth said:
But, as AppleInsider management has said on numerous occasions, this is a rumor site. None of us know what's really going on but we love to pontificate and prognosticate.

It can only be "Late" if a date has been announced by Apple and then missed.
Panamaniak Posts: 41member
I love those renders, here's hoping the bring the iPad Pro aesthetics to the 2020 iPhone line up, and not just the iPhone pro. Seriously considering upgrading, depending on features. Not sure if I wanna spring extra $$ for the Pro model yet.

Look to the past, each year there has always been a fabricated STORY that there will be a delay of some sort from Apple, or its suppliers, or the supply chain. It's this media whom needs a story for your eyeballs! Some years when demand is supa high, supplies run thin, but they quickly get restocked. Don't be gullible.

I agree with your statement about past years, but these years didn't involve a world wide shut down such as this. Someone here already said it, a month would be great, but 2 months seems closer to what it will be.
Just my opinion I have no insider info or anything concrete.

India, Latvia discuss developments in Indo-Pacific, Ukraine conflict at Foreign Office Consultations
29 Nov-2022 18:25 PM
New Delhi: India and Latvia on Tuesday discussed developments in the Indo-Pacific, India's neighborhood, EU, the Ukraine conflict, cooperation in multilateral fora including United Nations Security Council reforms at the 8th Foreign Office Consultations.
"Both sides discussed the entire range of bilateral relations, including political, economic, commercial, consular, and cultural linkages. Both sides also exchanged views on regional and global issues," read the Ministry of External Affairs press release. Both sides agreed to hold the next round of Foreign Office Consultations at mutually convenient dates in Riga.
The Indian side was led by Sanjay Verma, Secretary (West), Ministry of External Affairs. The Latvian side was led by Andris Pelss, State Secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Latvia.
India and Latvia share warm and cordial relations with historical and cultural linkages and have recently completed 30 years of diplomatic relations.
The consultations reviewed bilateral engagements and exchanged views on regional and international issues of mutual interest, added the release.
India recognized Latvia as a sovereign and independent State in 1991. Diplomatic relations were established shortly thereafter on December 20, 1991. Latvia opened an Embassy in New Delhi in 2014.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and Latvian Foreign Minister Edgars Rinkevics had a telephone conversation in February 2021.
FM Rinkevics participated in the 1st India Nordic Baltic Conclave (virtual format) in November 2020. Earlier in the year, he participated in the 5th Raisina Dialogue and met EAM on that occasion, besides a group interaction with Prime Minister Narendra Modi (January 2020).
FM Rinkevics and EAM Jaishankar also met in New York on the sidelines of UNGA in Sep 2019.
Some other high-level visits include, From Latvia - Speaker of Saeima Ingrida Udre (2003), Solvita Aboltina, Speaker of Saeima (2012), Deputy PM (2003), Minister of Culture (2007 and 2016), Minister of eGovernance (2007), Economics Minister (2010); and from India - Minister of Electronics &IT and Law & Justice (2016), MoS Health and Ayush (2016).
The Indian-origin population in Latvia is estimated to be around 3,000. Many of them are in the business and IT sectors. This includes nearly 2,000 Indian students studying mainly medicine and engineering in Latvia. (ANI)

Q: XCode attach process / detach process (Programmatically detach debugger) Im debugging a plugin using XCode 4.5 using the Info > Launch > Wait for ??? to launch and debugging work great.
However everytime I hit the stop button or push back the play button the application that I attach my plugin to get killed (Killed: 9). If I attach to a process isn't it not logic that the play or stop button would detach me from that process?
Is there a way that I can change this behavior in Xcode instead of typing everytime on the lldb console >> process detach for it to continue?
What Im thinking is to add some code in my main app (the one that I attach XCode to) to add a piece of code to disconnect the debugger is it possible?
[ EDIT ]
Found this code that determine if the debugger is attached:
bool debugger_attached( void )
{
    int mib[ 4 ];
    struct kinfo_proc info;
    size_t size;

    info.kp_proc.p_flag = 0;

    mib[0] = CTL_KERN;
    mib[1] = KERN_PROC;
    mib[2] = KERN_PROC_PID;
    mib[3] = getpid();

    size = sizeof( info );

    sysctl( mib, sizeof( mib ) / sizeof( *mib ), &info, &size, NULL, 0 );

    return ( ( info.kp_proc.p_flag & P_TRACED ) != 0 );
}

Now how to detach the debugger from the current process?

A: I think it's already clear from the follow-up comments that this behavior -- Xcode not having a simple GUI gesture to detach from a process -- is how things work today.  There's at least one use-case where this is the correct behavior -- when doing iOS Simulator process debugging on your Mac, the Simulator app is not launched by Xcode/lldb directly - it attaches to an already-launched process.  In that case, when you press the Stop button in Xcode, you expect the simulated app to stop running.  This is an implementation detail that users don't know about/shouldn't need to know about, but there is some logic to the behavior.
For what it's worth, you can make an alias in your ~/.lldbinit file like
command alias det process detach

and now in the debugger console you can type just det to detach.  (or whatever alias you want to set up).  It's not as simple as hitting a button in the GUI but it's better than process detach.


Tomoro I'l be going on the search for a job. I'm hoping that I wont have to go back to working in a store thats packed full of assholes.
If I could get temping work, that'd be rad cuz the money isn't bad and at least I wont get stuck in the same place day in day out.
Due to said boredom, I'v been spending abit of time on ebay. Doing abit of window shopping for when I can afford to buy things.

The Threat Landscape: An Annual Review
The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), a part of GCHQ, is the UK's technical authority for cyber threats. Since the NCSC was created in 2016 as part of the Government's five-year National Cyber Security Strategy, it has worked to make the UK the safest place to live and work online.
The NCSC provides a single point of contact for SMEs, larger organisations, government agencies, the general public and departments. We also work collaboratively with other law enforcement, defence, the UK's intelligence and security agencies and international partners.
We support the most critical organisations in the UK, the wider public sector, industry, SMEs as well as the general public. When incidents do occur, we provide effective incident response to minimise harm to the UK, help with recovery, and learn lessons for the future.
More specifically, the NCSC:
understands cyber security, and distils this knowledge into practical guidance that we make available to all
responds to cyber security incidents to reduce the harm they cause to organisations and the wider UK
uses industry and academic expertise to nurture the UK's cyber security capability
reduces risks to the UK by securing public and private sector networks

Enable Summary Zoom feature – Welcome to PowerPoint's Suggestion Box!
Thank you for voting up this request! The Summary Zoom feature has been released to all Office 365 subscribers! Please upgrade your version to 16.19 (181109) or higher, and give it a try.
Thanks for your feedback! The PowerPoint for Mac team is reviewing your suggestion to bring the Summary Zoom feature to Mac and will consider it in future planning rounds.
Not only is it not available. if you've created a presentation with this feature on PC, and transfer it to MAC, and then edit one of the slides, the edit does not come through on the summary slide. Super frustrating.
What are you waiting for? People will leave PPT for Mac and go to Prezi if you do not enable Zoom for Powerpoint for Mac.
I use Office 2016 and have a 365 for business account. Yet sadly I do have the Zoom button at all. I'm a school teacher and would love to teach them how to do this. A bit upsetting.
Yes please add this feature on the Mac as well. Regards !!
Please add this functionality. When you or your company or institution is paying for product licenses, we at least expect the same functionality. Providing users on other platforms/OS's than Windows limited features is in my opinion a very bad businessplan for your userbase. As a Mac and Windows user i would to see this feature on both platforms.
I would really like this feature on mac as well! Thanks!
I just found out this can be done on windows only. We need this for Mac. And thank you by the way for integrating the font embedding capability on Mac.
I'm in the process of making a non linear presentation it would have been great to be able to use PowerPoint, I'll have to make it on Prezi for the time being.
Are you serious ? It isn't available for Mac ??????
Please add the zoom toll to Power Point for Mac. I do not see any reason why this features is not already implemented.
Please add the slide show zoom in/out function.
I am dumbfounded. I can't locate zoom feature! Then I find this post. It's bizarre to me that this zoom feature would be limited to PC users and not on both MAC and PC versions. As a Brand Designer on MAC, this is extremely disappointing, especially when I want to produce the highest level of impact in the PowerPoint presentations I create, with the most innovative tools. PLEASE don't limit the MAC designers! Add it today!
I appreciate to be able to vote to help setting up priority in your backlog.
Anyway I don't understand why a same program will have different functionalities on different OS. Unless there is technical reasons. In a mixed environment more than being frustrating, it could be an issue.
Please enable zoom for power point for Mac!
How is the progress coming along? I literally bought the new version so that I could do this, it wasn't clearly advertised that the mac version would be created inferior.
Yes to adding Zoom feature on Mac. That should already be considered when they launch the feature, "available for Mac and PC"
