Alexander Zverev to Play John Isner in Miami Open Men's Final
March 30, 2018 by Tennis Panorama News
Alexander Zverev versus John Isner in Miami Open Men's Final
(March 30, 2018) MIAMI -John Isner, playing some of the best tennis of his life defeated a tired Juan Martin del Potro 6-1, 7-6(2) to reach his first Miami Open final. The six-foot-ten 32-year-old Isner hit 19 winners in the first set, a total of 36 for the match against six-foot six Argentine, as well as 13 aces, stopping del Potro's 15-match win streak. Del Potro Won Acapulco and Indian Wells events coming into Miami.
"He came out a little bit slow, simply because he's played so many matches and he's understandably sort of running on fumes," said Isner.
"So that was certainly a big advantage for me. I was much fresher than him, and I think that played a big role today.
"But also, I did play my game well, so that certainly helped. You know, he's coming into this match winning so many matches. When you're that confident, even when you're super, super tired, you still find a way to win. So I knew he had that on his side."
Juan Martin del Potro and John Isner
"As always, I have been feeling tight in all my body for the last couple of weeks, but when I get into the court I love to play tennis," del Potro said. "I got too much love from the fans, and maybe that pains go away during the match.
"But today John plays better. I don't have any skills for that. He was better than me, and he deserved to win."
The 14th seeded Isner will play No. 4 seed Alexander Zverev in the final on Sunday. The 20-year-old German bested No. 16 Pablo Carreno Busta of Spain 7-6 (4), 6-2.
Zverev has won two Masters Series title, both last year – in Roma and Canada. Isner is seeking his first Masters title. He's 0-3 in finals losing to three of the big four – Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray.
Isner is trying to become the first American to win a Miami event since Andy Roddick in 2010.
"I just know with my game, if I'm doing the right things, it doesn't really matter who I'm playing. I'm going to be very tough to beat.," he said.
"But if I'm on the flip side of that, if I'm not playing too confidently out there and not doing the right things on the court, I can be beaten by anybody, as well.
"It's been a very streaky year so far, but I'm very happy to be on the good side of that streak right now."
"I think the main reason why I'm playing so well — there is two reasons, really," he explained. "I think doing well in the doubles in Indian Wells helped a lot. It kept me in match mode, and I was getting real live reps on return. Playing in a pressure situation, even though it's doubles, I think that helped a lot. When I have done well in doubles in the past, it's always carried over to my singles game going forward.
"But with my coach, David Macpherson and I, when I first got to Miami, we have been having dinner every night and talking some things over. So it's not a situation this week where I was just putting in the hard work. Of course I was working hard, but I was just — I have been more relaxed on the court, and I think that's showing in my play."
Zverev hit ten aces against Carreno Busta and never faced a break point. The young German is now 3-0 in Masters 1000 semifinals.
"I'm just going to focus on what I do well and come up with a game plan with whoever I'm playing on Sunday," Isner said.
"Sascha, also, I mean, he's the best young player this game has."
"It's going to be a completely different match (than the one today), said Zverev about the final. "I think he's going to hit a lot of aces, a lot of winners. You know, it's going to be completely different match.
"But I'm ready for it, and hopefully it will be another great one."

'Tis the Season for Tax-Loss Selling
Dimitra Defotis
Updated Nov. 6, 2002 11:59 pm ET / Original July 16, 2019 2:35 pm ET
Even after more than two years of a bear market, investors may still find themselves atoning for losses as the 2002 tax year draws to a close.
Institutional tax-loss sales, which typically take place near the end of the October fiscal year for mutual fund companies, weren't the hot topic they were in 2000 and 2001 -- thanks to the market's continued weakness.
Northern Trust (NTRS)
Stock Price: $37.39
52-Wk High: $62.67
52-Wk Low: $30.41
Market Cap: $8.2 billion
Earnings Est. 2002 $2.03 per share
Forward P/E: 17x
Projected Long-Term EPS growth rate: 13%
Projected EPS growth ('03/'02): 8%
Sales (2001): $3.2 billion
Div Yield: 1.82%
CEO: William Osborn
Headquarters: Chicago, IL
Sources: Market Guide, Thomson First Call, S&P
Northrop Grumman (NOC)
Stock Price: $100.40
52-Wk High: $135.00
Market Cap: $11.3 billion
Projected EPS decline ('03/'02): -7%
Sales (2001): $13.5 billion
CEO: Kent Kresa
Headquarters: Los Angeles, CA
But individual investors have until the end of the year to sell stocks and book losses -- or, in a few rare cases, gains.
"When you have down years, industry groups that have been winners are more susceptible to selling pressure as people try to offset losses by selling gainers," says Lance Stonecypher, managing director of equity research at Ned Davis Research, who points to consumer staples and managed healthcare as stock groups where investors have seen selling lately.
Historically, taking losses to shave year-end tax burdens from capital gains has created buying opportunities (see Weekday Trader, "Heavy Tax-Loss Selling Creates Bargains Galore," December 19, 2001).
This year, some smart or lucky investors had some gains on individual stocks, particularly after the impressive October rally, and may need to offset them with losses. Double-digit losses are typically a good motivation to sell; the Standard & Poor's 500 Index is down 22% so far this year.
"It is only human nature to hold off taking losses as long as possible," says Duncan Richardson, manager of the Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Growth Fund. "I think there will be incremental pressure on underperforming stocks this fall going into December."
And if investors need to shift out of higher-risk stocks to other sectors or cash and bonds, realizing tax losses at the end of the year is inevitable, says Donald Peters, a manager of three T. Rowe Price tax-efficient funds.
"It is likely many have unrealized losses at this point," Peters says. "It gives investors an opportunity to take a step back and ask, 'Do I have my portfolio structured appropriately?'"
Through October 15, the worst-performing sectors of 2002 were telecommunications services and information technology. But since then, they have been the top performers, up nearly 18% and 23%, respectively, says Stonecypher at Ned Davis.
Conversely, consumer staples and energy were the best performers, but have made little progress in recent weeks, supporting the idea that "investors are more inclined to hit this year's winners to offset their losses," he says.
One stock Peters holds and likes is Northern Trust , a bank and trust holding company that has an investment management subsidiary. But with two recent downgrades and near a 52-week low, tax-loss selling has created further pressure on a stock with "a fabulous high net worth franchise," he says. He has been buying, pointing out that Northern Trust offers a 2% yield.
The stock is 25% off its 52-week high, due in part to credit-quality issues that Peters believes are already in the stock price. In its third-quarter results, released last month, Northern Trust announced a doubling of charge-offs, to $12 million, according to a recent report by Lehman Brothers. Northern Trust also moved more loans to lower quality status, increasing its loan-loss provision (as measured against total loans) to 0.46% from 0.11%.
Peters also likes some of Northern Trust's peers despite similar credit issues (which he doesn't view as serious): Bank of New York , Mellon Financial and State Street .
Richardson screens for stocks with the greatest declines off their 52-week highs late in the year as likely candidates for tax selling. One example: defense contractor Northrop Grumman . The stock had dramatically outperformed the market until September, but is now 26% off its 52-week high.
The selloff is due partly to the high valuation of the stock relative to its fair value, according to a recent S&P report. But sentiment for defense stocks, especially with Republican gains in Congress, should support Northrop's valuation. And upside for Northrop includes its impending agreement to buy missile defense system maker TRW combined with Pentagon demand for its surveillance aircraft and jet radar.
"If you were a latecomer, buying north of the current $100 per share, you just in the last month experienced a 20% decline," Richardson says. "That would meet some peoples' criteria for taking a tax loss."
He said he's a long-term holder with most of his "lots" still showing gains. "But we love that the tax loss sellers out there are bringing the stock to us at these prices," he says.
Of course, not everyone agrees that this phenomenon is significant this year. Russ Kinnel, Morningstar's director of fund analysis, maintains that mutual funds don't have many profits to take this year -- except for funds that shorted stocks.
But Stonecypher at Ned Davis says there is evidence that tax motivations are at work in recent weeks.
Because even if the number of sellers is smaller than usual, timing is everything, and that may offer opportunities, even in this difficult year.
Eaton Vance held 2.6 million shares of Northrop Grumman in various funds as of June 30, 2002, according to StreetSight.net.
T. Rowe Price held 2.2 million shares of Northern Trust in various funds as of June 30, 2002, according to StreetSight.net.
Lehman Brothers analyst Brock Vandervliet does not own Northern Trust shares and Lehman does not have an investment banking relationship with Northern Trust, according to a Lehman spokesman.

Q: Rails Session Incorrect? I am using capybara for an integration test and it looks like something is wrong with the session that gets passed to my controller for my "sign in" part of a test.  The sign in works fine when going through a browser, but is failing in capybara.
def integration_sign_in(user)
            visit signin_path

            puts "Pre email: " + user.email
            puts "Pre password: "  + user.password

            # When I use these, everything works correctly
            fill_in "session_email", :with => user.email
            fill_in "session_password", :with => user.password

            # When I use these, the session is wrong
            # The params[:session][:email] on the server has the password field
            # The params[:session][:password] on the server is nil
            #fill_in :email,    :with => user.email
            #fill_in :password, :with => user.password

            click_button "Sign in"
        end

Can I not use symbols for the capybara tests?  My guess is that the first field (email) is being filled in for both fields in the failing case, which is why the session only has a value for email and that value is password.

A: It looks like the latest version of capybara doesn't accept symbols correctly.  It only works when the full string of the field is entered.

Q: ActiveAdmin (Rails) empty class attribute for custom index table rows I am using ActiveAdmin to render an index table for a model.
The config looks like this:
ActiveAdmin.register User do
  index do
    selectable_column
    column :username
    column "Email" do |u|
      raw "#{truncate(u.email, length: 14)}"
    end
  end
end

The rendered HTML for the "email" TD looks like this:
  useremail...

I have tried passing class: 'foo' before the block and a few things like that but none have worked.
All of the columns that are not being created with the block syntax are getting a class attribute equal to the field name.
How do I set the class for the TD when using a block to render the column?

A: you have to override build_table_cell method,
you can take needed code here https://gist.github.com/3995962
put it to initializers folder.
now you can use it like
column(:status, :sortable => 'enabled', :class=>'status') do |row|
        #some logic
     end


WhatsApp is the best social media application to send message with larger community. This is often used to make a sale and purchase transaction as well as a community gathering place. WhatsApp is being one of the best long distance communications applications today. So here we will discuss about how to send WhatsApp message without saving their number.
Not only that, WhatsApp is an application that can be said to be very light and able to work optimally in all types of smartphones even though the smartphone has a low memory capacity, but of it all its free.
Apparently WhatsApp has the slightest disadvantage if you want to send messages to other people, then you have to save their contact and saving contacts that make people sometimes a little lazy to do so, because the WhatsApp system requires storing contacts of the number of people you want to contact. But here are some tips for you to send messages via WhatsApp without their contact.
Then open the Click2Chat app.
Enter the destination number and contents of the message you want to send to the number, and then tap the arrow buttons that are in the top right corner of the application.
Wait for the message delivery process for about 5 seconds.
So automatically the Click2Chat application will direct you to WhatsApp application and you are required to send the message.
Done, now you can send WhatAapp message without having to save the recipient's number.
Most of the time we don't like to install app with lots of ads and useless stuffs. So while searching we end up with some bad apps to steel our data. In this case to send WhatsApp message without saving their number can be done without installing any app with our second method.
Open your default browser or chrome browser on your smartphone.
Press 'Enter' on your Mobile Phone.
A WhatsApp window will open asking if you want to send a message to that phone number. Press on 'Message'.
You will automatically redirected to WhatsApp application with the 'Start chatting' window to the person you entered in your browser bar.

Truth: We've been unofficially/officially mulling over the idea of toth + fay for awhile now.
It worked. And – most importantly – it was fun.
Icing on the cake? It was making a real difference to people and their respective lives.
With all that said, this isn't about coming together to build another business – that's the last thing we busy entrepreneurs want to do.
toth + fay is about coming together to create fresh value for people we appreciate, support, and admire.
Meg will sometimes call people like this gold mines; they're seemingly normal people who have these fantastic careers, experiences, stories, lives – and no one knows it or them. That's not right. That's undiscovered gold, people. Your gold mine; your gold. It's time to own it. And we're help to support.
We formed toth + fay to help bring it outta ya – and help you tell the world with our effective, easy, and damn fun way.
Here's the deal – Julia has photographed thousands of humans over the last five years; Meg's has been branding people, places, ideas, experiences for close to seven years. Combining our value was our own undiscovered gold mine and gold.
We can't ask you to do for yourself what we haven't yet done for ourselves.
a) toth is Meg's middle name – it's Hungarian, and a common name in Hungary meaning "Slav" and later "Slovak" in old Hungarian. It was her great-grandmother's maiden name.


This wide-ranging and definitive volume illustrates how Marcel Duchamp's groundbreaking practice influenced 20th- and 21st-century art.
This book documents Barbara and Aaron Levine's extraordinary collection of Duchamp's work, one of the most significant private holdings of the artist in the world, which has been promised to the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. Acquired over decades, these artworks span Duchamp's entire career, demonstrating his critical role in the development of 20th-century art and his influence on artists working today. The collection features an exceptional group of readymades, such as Hat Rack, Comb, and With Hidden Noise, which exemplify how Duchamp elevated ideas over craftsmanship and aesthetics. Prints and drawings by the artist offer an introduction to his unique approach to reproductions, while portraits of Duchamp by Man Ray, Irving Penn, Diane Arbus, and Henri Cartier-Bresson reveal other sides of this enigmatic genius. The book also contains insights about Duchamp's significance as an artist and the rise and fall of his critical fortunes, as well as an interview with the collectors. This strikingly designed volume, with fold-outs and comparative illustrations, places Duchamp squarely in the context of both modern and contemporary art, and affirms his radical status as an artist with continued relevance today.
MELISSA CHIU is Director of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.

New Jersey based auction house Gotta Have Rock And Roll is selling 24 pieces of rock and roll memorabilia
The online auction is currently underway, with bidding set to close on Friday evening
Among the items up for sale include a guitar owned by Eric Clapton, which could sell for $2 million
By Andrew Court For Dailymail.com
A rare collection of rock and roll memorabilia is currently up for auction, including an electric guitar used by Eric Clapton which is expected to fetch up to $2 million.
Bidding on 24 incredible items is currently underway on GottaHaveRockAndRoll.com - a New Jersey-based auction house that specializes in selling instruments and ephemera once owned by music icons.
Clapton's guitar is the most expensive items up for sale, but there is no shortage of other less-pricey objects to arouse the interests of collectors, including a pink feather-boa worn by Jimi Hendrix and circular eyeglasses sported by John Lennon.
According to the auction house, Clapton's Fender Stratocaster was purchased by the rocker in 1979 and became his main stage slide guitar over the next five years.
The British star played hits such Wonderful Tonight, Cocaine and I Shot The Sheriff on the instrument, which he also used in the recording studio.
Bidding on the item starts at $1 million, but its estimated the guitar will sell for double that price.

However, those who don't have the cash to splash on that pricey item can also bid on a slew of other guitars up for grabs.
Also included in the auction is a 1967 Gibson ES-345 electric guitar owned by Chuck Berry.
According to the auction house, the image of Berry performing the 'duck-walk' across the stage with the cherry red guitar has become of the 'most enduring images in rock and roll history', and the instrument will fetch between $300,000 and $500,000.

There is also a acoustic guitar played and signed by Jimmy Page which could collect a cool quarter of a million dollars.
Additionally, an electric guitar owned by Soundgarden star Chris Cornell could also sell for the same amount of money.
The 1966 Fender Jazzmaster was originally purchased by Cornell in 1993 and played heavily throughout Soundgarden's 1993-1994 tour - the peak of the band's fame.

A range of other objects are also up for sale, including the circular spectacles that became the signature eyeglasses of John Lennon.
The glasses were owned and worn by Lennon while he was living at Tittenhurst Park in the United Kingdom with partner Yoko Ono back in the 1960s.
Lennon eventually gifted the glasses to his neighbor and friend, William Connors, who has now decided to offload the accessories.
Beatles lovers are in for a bargain, with the starting price of the eye wear a steal at $5,000.
Meanwhile, a hot pink feather boa owned by Jimi Hendrix, which was worn by the rocker on his the 'Are You Experienced' album cover, is estimated to fetch between $40,000 and $50,000.
Perhaps the most unique item in the auction line up, however, is a black Ferrari owned by the late Eddie Van Halen.
Th 2000 550 Ferrari only has 28,000 miles on its odometer, and is no doubt set to be quickly snapped up by a Van Halen fan given his death back in October.
All items are still up for sale, with bidding set to close on Friday.

Van Halen's 2000 550 Ferrari custom 6 speed is also included in the collection - and the vehicle only has 28,000 miles on its odometer
Van Halen passed away in October at the age of 65

South Korea will announce a set of support measures next week for the country's troubled auto parts industry, a top official said Thursday.
Hong Nam-ki, the minister of economy and finance, said the auto industry is a major priority as South Korea has been struggling to reinvigorate the manufacturing sector, a key part of South Korea's economy.
Hong did not provide any further details on the set of measures during a visit to a small auto parts maker in Asan, some 100 kilometers south of Seoul.
South Korean auto parts makers face difficulties due mainly to weak sales of cars.
Vehicle sales of South Korea's five carmakers fell 5 percent in November from a year earlier on weak overseas demand amid trade disputes between the world's two biggest automobile markets: the United States and China.
The five carmakers -- Hyundai Motor Co., Kia Motors Corp., GM Korea Co., Renault Samsung Motors Corp. and SsangYong Motor Co. -- sold a combined 720,892 vehicles last month, down from 758,494 units a year ago, corporate sales data showed.
6.0 percent to 581,030 autos from 618,152 during the same period, the data showed.
Hong also said the flexible working hour period could be changed in the coming months from the current three months. He made the comments after the auto parts maker in Asan appealed for a change, citing its difficulty to cope with orders due to the current flexible working hour period.

For us, this week is all about speed and power! The good folks over at 'Top Gear' are back, this time around providing a closer look at the Mercedes-AMG One Hypercar. This ambitious project aims to make the closest thing to a Formula 1 race car for the road as possible and succeeds. This eye-catching machine will set you back approximately $2,575,000 USD, and only 275 of these hypercars will be created.
We take a closer look at this incredible new ride, taking a look at how it does deviate from its F1 counterpart and more. The car's release date has been pushed to mid-2020, though car collectors are in no rush. The ride features an impressive design that has an output of 1050 hp and can reach 124 mph in just under 6 seconds. The design idles at 1,200 rpm rather than 4,000 rpm from the F1 counterpart, while max revs are capped to 11,000 rpm Vs. 14,000 rpm. The car is capable of hitting 124 mph .50 seconds faster than the Bugatti Chiron. The Mercedes-Benz logo is airbrushed on, rating than having a traditional metal badge.
Take a closer look at this beautiful and impressive new machine in the images below and give us your thoughts in the comments. Head over to Mercedes-AMG to find out more immediately.


The story of U.S. Navy Nurse Corps and the brave and remarkable women who gallantly served within it's ranks throughout the Second World War is told in this brief article. It documents the selfless service of Navy Nurses who stayed behind in the Philippines to face Japanese captivity rather than desert their patients.
"That was typical of the steadfast manner in which Navy Nurses adhered to duty throughout the war, forsaking personal comfort and safety to bring the benefits of their skills to the sick and wounded".
By the war's end there were 11,021 women who served in that august body, and many were the women who were cited for their devotion to duty and were decorated with thirteen Bronze Stars, one legion of Merit, two Army Commendation Ribbons, twelve Distinguished Unit Badges, and forty-two Navy Unit Commendations.

Hurricanes receiver Braxton Berrios one of 13 finalists for Campbell Trophy, or 'Academic Heisman'
| CORAL GABLES
Hurricanes receiver Braxton Berrios discusses his being a finalist for the Campbell Trophy and his play this season.
Hurricanes receiver Braxton Berrios has been one of Miami's top performers this season — on and off the football field.
The senior, who leads the Hurricanes with 415 receiving yards, also has one of the top grade-point averages among college football players nationwide. On Wednesday, he was named one of 13 finalists for the National Football Foundation's William V. Campbell Trophy, which is given annually to college football's premier scholar-athlete.
Berrios — a finance and entrepreneurship major with a 3.96 GPA — will receive an $18,000 post-graduate scholarship. If he wins the award next month, that scholarship will increase to $25,000.
That possibility is a source of pride for Berrios, who has often talked during his time at Miami about the streak of straight A's he's had throughout his academic career.
As College Football Playoff rankings unveiled, No. 10 Hurricanes keep focus on Virginia Tech
For the first time since the College Football Playoff was adopted, the Hurricanes are expected to be ranked among the top teams. But right now, they aren't thinking about that — just Virginia Tech.
"It's incredible. It's a really prestigious award, and when I found out this summer that I was going to be nominated from Miami, that was cool. Then I found out I was a semifinalist and that was a little bit better," Berrios said. "Then I found out Saturday night when I returned home [I was a finalist] … I've known for a few days and I've had to keep it hush-hush. But it's really an honor."
Berrios is tied for third with the highest GPA among the 13 finalists behind Stephen F. Austin safety Marlon Walls, an engineering physics major with a 4.0 GPA, and Boise State center Mason Hampton, an accounting major with a 3.97 GPA. Nebraska linebacker Chris Weber also has a 3.96 GPA in his nutrition science major.
The winner will be announced on Dec. 5.
As to what he'd like to do in life after football, Berrios said Wednesday he hasn't thought about that yet. With his performance this season, he's likely improved his stock as an NFL draft prospect.
Along with his team-high 415 receiving yards, Berrios is among the nation's top six punt-returners, averaging 16.3 yards per return.
"We'll find out. I'm not really worried about that at all," Berrios said of his post-football career. "I think doors open when they need to. Right now, I'm not thinking about after football."
After a rash of injuries forced multiple starters to miss playing time throughout October, Hurricanes coach Mark Richt said Wednesday he feels his team is about as healthy as it can be at this point in the year.
Though he's been dealing with shoulder soreness since the North Carolina game on Saturday, quarterback Malik Rosier has been throwing in practice and corner Dee Delaney, probable last week against the Tar Heels, is expected to play Saturday.
"You can tell some guys are a little bit sore and all that, but gosh, this time of year, everybody's sore. It's a physical game," Richt said. "This deep into it, yeah…[we're healthy]."
As to the fact the Hurricanes haven't really had a bye since Hurricane Irma forced the adjustment of their schedule, Richt says Miami's just had to deal with the challenge.
Miami canceled its Sept. 16 game at Arkansas State because of the storm and has played every weekend since. The Hurricanes still have four weeks of games to go, with Virginia Tech on Saturday, Notre Dame on Nov. 11, Virginia on Nov. 18 and Pittsburgh on Nov. 24.
"When you're winning sometimes it's helpful, with the momentum of what's going on and you don't want to slow it down," Richt said. "A rest would've been nice, I can say that right about now, but we don't have one."
Richt weighed in on one of the Internet's hottest October debates on Wednesday saying he's generally a fan of candy corn.
And like his 10-bite method of sandwich eating — which made headlines back in July at ACC media days — there is a process with how he likes enjoying his candy corn.
"Who told you about candy corn and Coach Richt? I'm a big candy corn fan," he laughed at Wednesday's practice. "Those little white tips, you kind of bite those off first, get them out of the way. Then after that, you just throw the whole thing in there. Every once in a while, you may get the orange piece in the middle and save the yellow for last, but usually I just get the tip off and I finish."
QB Malik Rosier throwing as Hurricanes continue preparing for Virginia Tech
Hurricanes quarterback Malik Rosier, who dealt with a shoulder injury last week, went through early drills as No. 9 Miami continues preparing for Virginia Tech.
As to trick-or-treating, Richt said he did not partake Tuesday night, but he did enjoy video of his granddaughter Jadyn that son Jon Richt and his wife Anna sent him.
"We got to see video of Jadyn, our little Jay-bug, she was Minnie Mouse," Richt said. "She was an unbelievable Minnie Mouse, and what can you say? There's probably no better Minnie Mouse in the world than her last night."

CPI Event Highlights Smart Packaging Potential - The Independent Global Source for the Flexible and Printed Electronics Industry.
The Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) hosted experts from the smart packaging industry to highlight its work on next-generation printable electronics. The event showcased CPI's high-speed roll-to-roll integration and conversion capabilities, which enable the pilot production of functional tags for smart labeling in packaging and wearable goods.
The open day focused upon a number of projects overseen by CPI, including ReMedieES (RE-configuring MEDicines End-to-end Supply), which, alongside GlaxoSmithKline and AstraZeneca, saw CPI develop and scale up smart packaging concepts using printed electronics.
With smart packaging carrying great potential for many industries, thanks to its ability to provide real-time data on temperature, humidity, shock, tampering, and counterfeiting of goods - REMEDIES examined how it could re-shape the multi-billion pound global medicine manufacture and supply sector.
Delegates were told of CPI's work on product trials within REMEDIES, notably how condition and quality data was transferred to GlaxoSmithKline via the Internet of Things, as well as its development of superior barrier material for blister packaging.
Additionally, the open event saw presentations from TNO/Holst about the opportunities presented by the InSCOPE project, which supplies a pilot line service to advance the accuracy and reliability of hybrid printable electronics.
InSCOPE supports large organizations, newcomers and SMEs in transforming flexible electronics technologies into novel products.


The topic sentence, sometimes referred to as a focus sentence, helps to organize the paragraph by summarizing the information in the paragraph. Allocate your topic or write about the topic of your choice. The topic is too general and broad to be addressed with a short text:. Write a topic and a main idea. How does a topic differ from a main idea?
Name your basic ideas clearly..... Since your topic set is probably the first set of the section, it must clearly indicate the content of your section without being verbose or hard to understand". This must contain your topic and an expert or your control concept. Ensure that the following phrases contain your topic phrase in detail.
Remember that this is not an invite to announce your topic. "I' m going to talk about the advantages of gardening" is not an efficient phrase. This example shows a clear trend ("health advantages of gardening"), which you can explain in your heel.
Balancing the theme between specificities and general concepts. Subjects must correlate the passage with the dissertation message of the work. However you must make sure that your theme set finds a good equilibrium between the wide and the slender. Do not write too vaguely or generally an abstract or you will never be able to debate it in a singularagraph.
" Don't write too narrowly about a testimony. "This is big enough to refer to the wider concept of an article, but not so close that there is nothing more to debate. It is one of the many important parts of a set of topics to involve the readership. When there is a pertinent discussion that draws your reader's interest, you should use part of it to begin your heel.
You can use the opening movement to convey an emotional message to your readers. You don't want to write a phrase with too many details, but it's a good way to arouse interest by using the sensorial speech in your phrase. Making the subject matter phrase should express your intent without compelling your readers to chase it; to keep it brief helps to keep your intent clear.
It should be a midway point in your paragraph: it should be a little more specifically than your dissertation, but not the information in your wholeagraph. Make up your mind. Your text is intended to demonstrate your subject matter. Therefore, your topic should contain something you think or believe that can be backed up by tangible proof.
In your topic you can express an idea, but only if you can support it in the following part. Take, for example, the theme "Herb cultivation promotes your esteem for freshness". "The wording "continue your appreciation" says something you believe, and you can now devote the remainder of the passage to explain why you believe what you believe.
You can use the topic phrase as a transitional. Themes that also function as a transitional point can lead your reader through your arguments, which can prevent them from getting wasted. Consider this phrase as a "bridge" between the basic concept of the preceding section and the basic concept of this next section.
" It is a link to the key theme of the last section ("health advantages of gardening") and points to the new section ("things to be careful about"). Do a paper. Each section of your paper should have a key concept, a point or a purpose you are trying to convey.
This theme set will help to define this notion. In order to write good topic articles, you need to know what your articles are about. There is no need to write outlines of form with numbers and the like. Understanding the relationship between the propositions of theses and thematic theorems.
" Or it could be a hypothesis that tries to convince the readers of something, such as "Public support for training should be extended. "Theme phrases are like the mini-statements of every passage. Unlike a dissertation, a set of topics does not have to be an arguem. There may be a "preview" of what the passage will debate or debate.
When you are new to topic set composition, it may be useful to look at a few samples. Purdue OWL has several pages with example articles on the subject. Chapel Hill has a useful sales progression handouts section that contains a "model" section and how to create your own, from topic setting to completion.
A topic could look like this, for example: Remaining rates in this section would refer to the basic concept of urban streets and how they will help the inhabitants. That is not such a good theme: "That' s probably an interesting fact for your reasoning, but too tight for one subject.
Subject-matter must guide the whole section. Even though the topics differ in terms of structuring and contents from individual to individual, at least two things can be accepted about your work: 1 ) that you have a cover and a whole piece of hardcover to present a topic, and 2) that your personally identifiable information is available somewhere on your memo.
I would like the paragraphs/essay to tell me that information without a cumbersome topic set notation. Except if it is an expression of your opinions, do not use "I" in your topic statements. Though it may seem attractive to fill your subject phrase with great, impressive words if your subject phrase is not clear, your endeavor sounds simple, enforced and muddled.
You should be able to tell your sales immediately. Make your sentences clear and concise. While you want to give your readership a foretaste of what they can look forward to in your next section, you don't want to show all your maps right at the beginning.
Don't make a long checklist of what you're going to be talking about, but instead give a small foretaste of what you want to see in your heel. No need to tell everything in your topic set, just say it so the readers know what to look forward to. Perhaps you have a great quotation in your head that is a perfect introduction to your topic.
Subjectice should begin the section and hopefully contain your opinions, not someone else's. When the offer is opinion-based, replace it with your own opinions. When the quotation is fact-based, store it and paste it later into your heel. When you make a point in your topic line, you should do so because your section will state it.
You should clearly analyse whether you give facts, views or both in the section on typesetting. Do not fill your topic set with filling materials that you do not want to further describe. Which is the best topic for a cultural shocking article? "How can I identifiy sets of topics?
Usually it is the first set of the block or heel. This phrase, which contains the basic concept of the section/paragraph, is referred to as the topic phrase. Which thematic phrases can I use for the other applications of Marihuana? "How do I write a phrase on why I want to work with kids?
What is the purpose of your plans to debate this section? Ignore that. "Are there any other instances of what a theory is? One theory could be: It is a testimony that can be reasoned with proof and analyses, so it is an excellent example of a good theorem.
One could also write a hypothesis which does not agree with it and which would also be good. What is a good topic phrase that I could use to present the disadvantages of using it? Which would be a good theme phrase for high levels of tribal smoking? Which is a good theme set if universities are to be free?
Are you able to supply thematic starter samples? What can I do to make the concept a reality? Which thematic phrase can I use for the importance of higher learning? Enter your e-mail to receive a reply when this is the case. When you try to write a good theme set, begin by clearly indicating your key ideas, which should contain the theme and the role you are taking on.
The goal is to write a phrase wide enough for debate, but small enough to be dealt with in a simple section. Do not give your testimony in the guise of a doubt.

Q: Migrating from aws_api_gateway_rest_api to aws_apigatewayv2_api loose OpenAPI integration I have an AWS API Gateway (REST API) which is deployed through Terraform like that:
locals {
  api = templatefile("${path.module}/backend-api/api.json", {
      service-user-management = aws_lambda_function.user-management.invoke_arn
    })
}

resource "aws_api_gateway_rest_api" "backend" {
  name        = "backend-api"
  description = "Backend API"
  body        = local.api

  triggers = {
    redeployment = sha1(join(",", list(

    )))
  }

  lifecycle {
    create_before_destroy = true
  }
}

resource "aws_api_gateway_method_settings" "backend" {
  rest_api_id = aws_api_gateway_rest_api.backend.id
  stage_name  = aws_api_gateway_deployment.backend.stage_name
  method_path = "*/*"

  settings {
    metrics_enabled = true
    logging_level   = "INFO"
  }
}

For reference, api.json looks like:
{
  "openapi": "3.0.0",
  "info": {
    "version": "",
    "title": ""
  },
  "paths": {
    "/auth": {
      "post": {

          "400": {

          }
        },
        "x-amazon-apigateway-integration": {
            "uri": "${service-user-management}",
            "passthroughBehavior": "when_no_match",
            "httpMethod": "POST",
            "type": "aws_proxy"
        }
      }
    },

It works well but I want to convert it to API Gateway V2, I have tried that:
resource "aws_apigatewayv2_api" "backend" {
  name          = "backend-api-2"
  description = "Backend API"
  protocol_type = "HTTP"
  disable_execute_api_endpoint = false
  version = "v0.1"
  body        = local.api
}

resource "aws_apigatewayv2_deployment" "backend-default" {
  api_id      = aws_apigatewayv2_route.backend.api_id
  description = "backend deployment"

  lifecycle {
    create_before_destroy = true
  }
}

resource "aws_apigatewayv2_route" "backend" {
  api_id    = aws_apigatewayv2_api.backend.id
  route_key = "$default"
}

It works well except that none of the endpoints have an integration, no lambda are bound.
What are the correct OpenAPI attributes?

A: Actually the OpenAPI format may have slightly changed, instead of directly declaring the integration, referring to it worked:
{
  "openapi": "3.0.0",
  "info": {
    "version": "",
    "title": ""
  },
  "paths": {
    "/auth": {
      "post": {
        "summary": "User authentication",
        "parameters": [],
        "responses": {
          "400": {
            "description": "Invalid `password`"
          }
        },
        "x-amazon-apigateway-integration": {
          "$ref": "#/components/x-amazon-apigateway-integrations/user-management"

Kim Fisher 'Dirty Kitchen' The Modern Institute, Aird's Lane The Modern Institute is delighted to present 'Dirty Kitchen', a solo exhibition of new works by Los Angeles based artist Kim Fisher. Fisher's works stem from a response to her living and working environment of Los Angeles, California. Utilising paint and text through a variety of media Fisher explores the effect time and heat has on materials within this climate, while simultaneously assembling an enquiry into the social and cultural influences of the region. Forming the crux of Fisher's third exhibition at The Modern Institute are a series of new paintings and printed paper works which hang across the walls and from the ceiling. Fisher's paintings begin from a canvas of deeply dyed black linen, to which she applies oil paint with an airbrush and incorporates cut pieces of aluminium or brass, which are adhered to the surface. These works are based on fragments of paper, drawn from multiple sources, such as magazines and newspapers. Some of the scraps bear the effects of age - they are worn, ripped and faded from exposure to the sun. Assuming the appearance of billboard signs, Fisher's paintings are like fractal signifiers of her surrounding environment. Alluding to the oppressiveness of its climate, they also amalgamate the rawness of industry with a morphic city of Los Angeles. Within the exhibition Fisher has included a piece by the artist and writer Arron Sands. Specifically written for this exhibition, the text entitled 'et in alio loco natare gaudeamus' has been scratched by hand into an old fire bell. This is the second time Fisher has worked with Sands, having included a poetical intervention by Sands in her recent solo exhibition at International Art Objects, Los Angeles. Rejoice and float in another place As a persistent blaze sets alight A state occasion A colourful account of equilibrium Scorching the horizon Furnished with dissatisfaction And the will of stable folk Aspiring to being Unstable people with a Passion for pretzels and pearls Constantly expand As golden sands quicken The universal disposition Marvels At our lingering attorney And unravels with indifference - Arron Sands, 'et in alio loco natare gaudeamus', 2014 Kim Fisher (b. 1973, Hackensack, New Jersey, USA) lives and works in Los Angeles. Fisher exhibits extensively within America as well as internationally, selected solo exhibitions include: 'Angus', International Art Objects, Los Angeles (2013); John Connelly Presents, New York (2010); China Art Objects, Los Angeles (2007); and Midway Contemporary Art, Minneapolis (2003). Fisher presented work in the California Biennale and Whitney Biennale (both 2004), and recently exhibited as part of 'Painting in Place', Farmers & Merchants Bank, Los Angeles (2013); 'Chasm of the Supernova', Eagle Rock Center for the Arts, Los Angeles (2012); and 'California Abstract Painting 1962-2012', Woodbury University, Burbank (2012). Fisher's 2011 publication produced by The Modern Institute includes extracts by Joan Didion from Slouching Towards Bethlehem, which were first published in 1968. These extracts depict a Californian experience through climate and social culture.

Q: version conflict, current version [2] is different than the one provided [1] I have a Kafka topic and a Spark application. The Spark application gets data from Kafka topic, pre aggregates it and stores it in Elastic Search. Sounds simple, right?
Everything works fine as expected, but the minute I set "spark.cores" property something other than 1, I start getting
version conflict, current version [2] is different than the one provided [1]

After researching a bit, I think the error is because multiple cores can have same document at the same time and thus, when one core is done with aggregation on its part and tries to write back to the document, it gets this error
TBH, I am a bit surprised by this behaviour because I thought Spark and ES would handle this on their own. This leads me to believe that maybe, there is something wrong with my approach.
How can I fix this? Is there some sort of "synchronized" or "lock" sort of concept that I need to follow?
Cheers!

A: It sounds like you have several messages in the queue that all update the same ES document, and these messages are being a processed concurrently. There are two possible solutions:
First, you can use Kafka partitions to ensure that all the messages that update the same ES document are handled in sequence. This assumes that's there's some property in your message that Kafka can use to determine how messages map to ES documents.
The other way is the standard way of handling optimistic concurrency conflicts: retry the transaction. If you have some data from a Kafka message that you need to add to an ES document, and the current document in ES is version 1, then you can try to update it and save back version 2. But if someone else already wrote version 2, you can retry by using version 2 as a starting point, adding your new data, and saving version 3.
If either of these approaches destroys the concurrency you were expecting to get from Kafka and Spark, then you may need to rethink your approach. You may have to introduce a new processing stage that does some heavy lifting but doesn't actually write to ES, then do the ES updates in a separate step.

A: I would like to answer my own question. In my use case, I was updating the document counter. So, all I had to do was retry whenever a conflict arise because I just needed to aggregate my counter.
My use case was somewhat this:

For many uses of partial update, it doesn't matter that a document has been changed. For instance, if two processes are both incrementing the page-view counter, it doesn't matter in which order it happens; if a conflict occurs, the only thing we need to do is reattempt the update.
This can be done automatically by setting the retry_on_conflict parameter to the number of times that update should retry before failing; it defaults to 0.

Thanks to Willis and this blog, I was able to configure Elastic Search settings and now I am not having any problems at all

1 - An Overview of High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) 2 - An Overview of High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM)
GDDR5 has long been established as the DRAM of choice for high-performance graphics, and is presently used in all current high-end and mid-range graphics cards and also in the PlayStation 4. However, as the bandwidth demands of GDDR5 continue to grow, so too does its power requirements. As graphics processing is inherently power limited, feeding the memory more power means less available watts for the GPU in any given environment, and GDDR5 is now approaching the stage where the power needed to supply the memory bandwidth modern GPUs require is so high that it's not leaving enough for the GPU itself, causing a performance flatline. This is not a new phenomenon; it is predictable, and AMD and its partners have been working on a solution for some seven years now.
GDDR5 also presents a form factor limitation, as the chips aren't getting any smaller. While the very latest chips are dense and capable of fast data rates (Samsung's 8Gbit ones are certified for 8Gb/sec), their 32-bit interface means you still need a large number of devices to reach a high total bandwidth. This eats up PCB space, as do the large VRMs required to handle the power demands.
These problems are typically solved by shrinking and integrating components onto the main processor die. However, this is not really a viable option for DRAM; it is neither cost nor size-effective. Simply put, processors and DRAM are disparate, meaning they are built in very different ways and have different requirements. The logic wafers required for processors are very expensive, and the build process is not specialised for DRAM use either. This would likely force the use of a larger cell size for the DRAM, meaning you'd need to use even more of the very expensive wafer to integrate it and would end up with a very big, very costly chip.
With scaling upwards off-chip and integrating on-chip both being impractical and too costly in more ways than one, a middle ground is needed. The solution is a silicon interposer, which is literally a middle ground between the main logic processor and the DRAM dies. The interposer sits atop the package substrate, so the processor and DRAM will now come in a single package – it's a much more integrated solution than before, but the two components are not on the exact same die. Nevertheless, there is a direct, short connection between the two through the interposer, and this much greater proximity allows data to be transferred across an extremely wide memory interface. This also means much lower clock speeds can be used (since so much can be transferred in a single clock cycle), which means the power per bit is down and the bandwidth per watt is up.
With its much wider memory bus, the new design requires a new type of memory, known simply as high-bandwidth memory, or HBM, and a key feature of HBM is that it's designed in 3D – individual dies can be stacked atop one another, and the entire stack rests on the logic die beneath, through which the connection to the processor is made. Achieving this is obviously complex, but it relies on two key things. Firstly, the DRAM wafer needs to be extremely thin for stacking to work effectively. AMD gave us a figure of 100 microns, which is literally paper-thin, and indeed the wafer will actually flop like a piece of paper at this thickness. Then there is the question of connecting the dies, for which a new interconnect known as a through-silicon-via, or TSV, is used. A TSV is essentially a hole poked vertically through the thinned silicon wafer and filled with copper. Each die has multiple TSVs, and when stacked, they are joined using high-density solder microbumps – this process also connects the processor to the interposer. While it is undoubtedly a complex assembly process, it results in extremely short interconnects between dies, which has benefits for small form factors, latency and power consumption.
In its present form, a single stack of four HBM dies has a total bus size of 1,024 bits through eight, independent 128-bit channels (two per die). The 1GHz effective clock speed makes for a total bandwidth of 128GB/sec per stack. Importantly, the required voltage is also lowered – AMD says it's 1.3V, although all other information we've seen points to 1.2V. Either way, it's lower than GDDR5, which typically runs at 1.5V but also has a 1.35V specification.

Is Hunter Harrison headed to Washington, D.C.?
Posted by Jim Wrinn
on Thursday, January 19, 2017
Where is Hunter Harrison headed next? That is the question on everyone's minds after Canadian Pacific announced Wednesday that its leader of five years will retire immediately instead of July 1. He's definitely got something lined up. After all, he's foregoing a package worth $118 million, won't be bound by a non-compete agreement, and is free to work with other Class I railroads. It definitely sounds like Harrison has a better offer.
The Wall Street Journal says Harrison is set to connect with an activist investor with plans to make a pass at CSX, the eastern giant that Harrison tried to merge with when he was at CP. Both CSX and NS had a rough 2016 – heck, every Class I railroad did as the bottom fell out of everything except grain and automobiles. All of these big railroads are still making money, but they're just not making as much as they did just a few years ago. Coal isn't coming back; intermodal hasn't blossomed as a robust cash cow; the future is murky.
Still, I have to wonder why Harrison wants to make another try at CSX, when he failed there before. CSX seems content to pursue its "Railroad of Tomorrow" strategy, network that is an intermodal triangle with New York, Chicago, and Florida the three points. When I was in Jacksonville last year to interview Michael Ward for a Q&A in our news pages, CSX's CEO had just received a three-year extension on his contract. Jim Squires is just a little over a year into his job as NS's boss and seems to be making the transition to the post-coal railroad that it will have to be – it lost the least traffic of any of the big systems last year. NS also successfully fought off a Harrison-led attack. I figure both of those eastern railroads still remember how to kick, bite, and swing a spike maul like hell before they allow Harrison and any of his minions in. Besides, the Surface Transportation Board rules on mergers are still just as complex, stringent, and anti-merger as they were in 2016.
And that makes me wonder. What if the rules changed? What if Harrison was the one who changed them?
I have colleagues telling me that I'm wrong, but given that it's inauguration week, I have to think that Harrison is eyeing the ultimate prize, a spot in the Trump administration. As an insider he could guide the STB toward rules that are favorable to railroad mergers. And if that's not the case, then I have to wonder why he's not going in this direction because the fit is perfect. Harrison and Trump have much in common – Trump's the outsider come to fix Washington and Hunter is the maverick on a crusade to cure railroading's ills. They've both written books about how they're the master of the situation. They both have huge egos, they run hot, they're both outspoken, and they're both either loved or reviled. A friend says Harrison wouldn't tolerate government culture more than 30 minutes, but this is supposedly the cut-the-bureaucracy, less regulation, free-business-to-do-its-job federal government that we're getting Friday. So, if the background music has changed, why not.
But, you ask, what about the big money Harrison is passing up? Surely, he's off to another big payday. Well, maybe not. When Harrison made his bid for NS last year, I said that he was just out for the money. But a colleague pointed out how wrong I was. Harrison could care less about the money. At this point, at age 72, Harrison wants confirmation for his vision of the industry. He wants a final validation that Hunter's way is the way. What better way to do that than by putting his imprint on the master set of rules that ultimately call the shots for all of railroading in the U.S.

Top 5 fastest-growing economies in Africa
With an increased number of opportunities for investment arising across Africa, several nations are starting to witness record growth rates
Workers plucking tea leaves on a plantation in Ethiopia. As of 2018, the country was the fastest growing in Africa, but attempts to diversify away from agriculture have caused public unrest
Author: Michael Newell
Across Africa, examples of foreign direct investment (FDI) are evident. China has taken the lead, with the continent being at the heart of its One Belt, One Road initiative. Now other countries are following suit. Brazil, for instance, built Ghana's largest flyover in Accra. Germany, meanwhile, launched the 'Marshall plan for Africa' in 2018, which will see it assist in the establishment of infrastructure that will help promote African exports.
Opportunities to invest in Africa have become more abundant than ever before
As governments across the continent continue to take steps to liberalise and diversify their economies, Africa has become home to some of the world's fastest-growing economies. Consequently, opportunities to invest in the continent have become more abundant than ever before. In light of this phenomenon, World Finance lists the top five fasting-growing economies in Africa, according to the World Economic Forum.
1 – Ethiopia (8.5% GDP growth rate)
Efforts to modernise Ethiopia's economy have paid off. A wave of privatisation, with state-owned companies being sold to overseas investors in China, saw FDI growth hit 27.6 percent in 2016/17. The Ethiopian Government has also stepped up to the plate with substantial state investment to boost infrastructure and support sustainable solutions. Hoping to rival the manufacturing sectors of China and India thanks to its cheap labour costs, the country has also made efforts to improve its trading relationships and promote Ethiopian products. However, the modernisation of the economy has not been all smooth sailing: as the country moves away from its reliance on agriculture, the reforms have sparked public unrest and raised concerns about the government's human rights record.
2 – Côte d'Ivoire (7.4% GDP growth rate)
The Ivory Coast is one of the nations that benefitted from the 50 percent African franc devaluation in 1994. This helped to control the resulting hike in inflation, while making exports more competitive. The nation also benefits from excellent infrastructure, making it attractive to foreign inflows. This is boosted further by the government stepping up a programme called the National Development Plan (NDP) for 2016-20, which is aimed at encouraging investment. Challenges remain, however: the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a report in 2018 that highlighted the effects of climate change on nations such as the Ivory Coast. The country has a heavy coastal population of 7.5 million, contributing to 80 percent of its GDP. The report predicts that, on the current path, climate-induced impacts are expected to "drive the loss of coastal resources".
3 – Senegal (7% GDP growth rate)
Senegal is one of Africa's most stable countries, experiencing three peaceful political transitions since it gained independence from France in 1960. However, increased extremism in neighbouring countries has been a cause for concern in recent years. Senegal's economy remains highly dependent on agriculture, accounting for 15.4 percent of GDP, though variable weather conditions can play a large part in this figure. Fortunately, the nation has a highly developed tourism industry, and with its extensive coastline, it also operates as a shipping hub – another driving force behind its high growth rates. Dakar, as the capital of the former federation of French West Africa, is home to numerous banks and institutions that serve the continent's Francophone countries.
4 – Tanzania (6.4% GDP growth rate)
East Africa's second-largest economy, Tanzania, is a nation in transition. But despite the country's promising GDP growth rates, an estimated 46 percent of the population remains in poverty: many of the gains in GDP have so far been unequally shared between citizens. As with others in this list, Tanzania remains highly dependent on agriculture with no signs of this abating – in fact, between 2014 and 2015, the sector's contribution to GDP increased by 0.2 percent. That said, the nation is also a regional leader in the financial services sector. The Bank of Tanzania allows non-banking institutions to provide financial services, a daring move that has proved to be rewarding. The country also benefits from a stable deficit that has remained modest – 2.1 percent in 2017/18 – meaning investments into the country pose less risk than others on the continent.
5 – Ghana (6.3% GDP growth rate)
Neighbour to the Ivory Coast, Ghana is the third Western African country to feature on the list. The country boasts a rich range of resources: it is Africa's second-largest producer of gold, and has an abundant supply of diamonds and oil. To supplement trade, Ghana imposes various tariffs or barriers compared to neighbouring countries, and its depreciating currency has made the nation's exports more competitive. Consequently, agriculture accounts for around 20 percent of GDP, while also employing half of the country's workforce. However, in 2015, a drop in oil prices and lax government spending forced Ghana to apply for an IMF bailout of $1bn. It is on track to exit the agreement later this year.

We left Ft. Myers on time at 9:30 AM. We had a direct flight back to Reagan National airport and it was uneventful. While it was sunny and warm when we left Florida, it was rainy and cold when we arrived in Washington. We waited at baggage claim for our luggage and then made our way to the Metro station. Kelly was going straight to work, to put in half a day. I headed home.
I was home sometime around 1 PM. Zeke was fine, happy to see me after 5 days on his own, but perhaps mildly annoyed too. His frustration was quickly assuaged after he got some of his canned food (he'd had only dry food for 5 days).
I spent most of the afternoon going through mail and cleaning up the house. I did laundry, I emptied the trash. Since I only have 2 days of work this week, I didn't end up going grocery shopping today. I ran out and got some milk and some laundry detergent, but that's all I need until the weekend.
Friday night, Kelly and I are going to see Spamalot at the National Theater and I'm looking forward to that. Back to work tomorrow, and I'm not looking forward to that. I wish I had the rest of the week off but we're saving up vacation time so that we can take a vacation later in the year.


E-Banking, Online Bill Paying Growth Ahead - InternetNews.
A substantial increase in the number of U.S. households paying and viewing bills online suggests a growing comfort with the medium and less concern over the security of such transactions. A report from Jupiter Research (a unit of this site's corporate parent) found that 18.9 million households viewed and paid bills online during 2003 — up from 12.2 million in 2002 — and the figure is expected to soar to 60.6 million by 2008.
The number of U.S. households engaged in online banking will nearly double between 2003 and 2008, according to Jupiter. Well over 29 million households currently take advantage of the convenience of online banking, which is expected to grow to 56 million in 5 years.
Jupiter's forecast indicates that the percentage of U.S. households that only view, and not pay, their bills online will shrink to near extinction. While 30 percent were viewing their bills online in 2001, only 1 percent are expected to still do so by 2008.
Jupiter analyst Bruce Cundiff, the author of the report, explains that the number of "view onlys" will overwhelmingly become online "view-and-pay" (VAP) households as they become more comfortable with online payments in general, and also as more households engage in online banking for bill paying and other banking activities.
"Once consumers begin to receive bills online, we see the logical progression from view only to VAP (the pinnacle as far as billers and consolidators are concerned). We anticipate very little (if any) regression to offline bill viewing and payment, as the number of bills presented online and the number of households engaging in online bill payment will grow dramatically through 2008," Cundiff said.

My two oldest daughters made comforter covers. They had old and worn comforters on their bed and wanted to give the room a new look. Making the covers was the final step in this redecorating project. We went from lavender and lace to navy blue, hunter green with horses and wolves to accent (the horse loving daughter and the dog loving daughter accented with there own style)! The walls had already been repainted and navy blue/hunter green plaid curtains made to replace the lace curtains. Now it was time for comforters.
We were looking at the least expensive way to do this. Making covers seemed a better way to go than new comforters. We found flat sheets at Wal-Mart for $3 a piece. We bought 2 for each cover.
The girls laid them right sides together and sewed them on 3 sides. They left the topside open, which was the side that would have been the top of the sheet. After the 3 sides were sewn they laid the sheets on the floor and then the comforter on top. They sewed lengths of ribbon to each corner of the comforter and to each corresponding corner of the sheet cover. They tied each cover corner to each comforter corner and turned it all right sides out.
They did not do anything permanently to the open end. However I would think it could be closed with Velcro or even large buttons, making it easy to remove the cover for washing. Since a bed takes up so much of a room it is fun to see that $12 worth of sheets can make the whole room feel so fresh and new.

Kirstjen Nielsen Would Like Us to Know She Is Not a Racist and Doesn't Believe in Separating Families
Filed to:family separation
Image: Getty
On Wednesday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen met with members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and had some things to say about the family separation crisis. During that meeting, according to Representative Joaquin Castro from Texas, she defended herself and the Trump administration, telling the caucus members: "I am not a racist. Nobody believes families should be separated."
That's certainly an interesting choice of words from the noted defender of white supremacists and head of the agency that actually forcibly separated parents from their children.
As for whether the Trump administration will meet its court-ordered deadline of today to reunite all families separated earlier this year at the U.S.-Mexico border under its "zero tolerance" policy, the Guardian reports that she assured caucus members the process is "on track"—but the numbers that officials have released over the past few days reveal a far grimmer reality for hundreds of families.
As of Tuesday evening, administration officials stated that they had reunited more than 1,000 families, with plans to reunite 600 more by the end of Thursday. But as many have reported, up to 463 parents have either already been deported or have "voluntarily" left the U.S. while their children remain detained in the United States. In a further sign of the incompetence and cruelty that has undergirded this whole process, Justice Department attorneys on Tuesday, according to NPR, "were unable to offer any details about the circumstances under which they were removed, where they might reside and why their children may have been left behind."
But don't worry! Nielsen would like to assure us that she really cares about the families that her agency decided to rip apart. Oh, and remember the lead Department of Justice attorney representing the administration against the ACLU who cares more about dogs than migrant families? She probably isn't a racist either.
