Q: Way Subsonic 3 uses memory I'am try to make a comparison between Subsonic 3, Datasets and Entity Framework.The reason why is that for my internship i have to make clear my choices. Until now i know yet that Datasets works the following way with retrieving data:

*

*DB into memory

*query on DB in memory

*result from query

Entity Framework (.NET version 3.5) does it the following way.
(using .net 3.5 because it needs to work on SharePoint 2010 and this one only supports .net 3.5 because of the CLR version)

*

*query on DB

*result returned into objects in memory

*result returned

Until now i haven't found a scheme for Subsonic 3 how they do it.
i hope one of you can help me

A: It totally depends on the strategy you are using (ActiveRecord / LinqTemplates / SimpleRepository)

*

*ActiveRecord:
Every single Record holds it's own instance to a repo, which will result in high memory usage for large lists.

*LinqTemplates:
Much less memory usage, you have an instance of your db which holds the scheme of every table and the pure data.

*SimpleRepository
Even less, since the repo instance does not know anything about your database. It almost only the usage of the pure data in memory.
I would suggest using both, ActiveRecord and Linq Templates. Linq for querying large lists, and ActiveRecord for editing single records or small lists (<100 entries).
SubSonic doesn't do caching by design, so I wouldn't worry about that.
But the great thing about the Linq stuff (for all three strategies) is that you don't hit the database until you need the data, so you can control how much memory you use.
Example:
var db = new NorthwindDb();

// does not hit the database (just an expression)
// since we only need ProductId and ProductName in this example,
// there is no need to pull the entiry Product from the database.
var query = from p in db.Products
            where p.CategoryId == 5
            select new {p.ProductId, p.ProductName };

// executes: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM products WHERE categoryid = 5;
var count = query.Count();

// does not execute anything
var top10 = query.Take(10);

// executes: SELECT productid, productname
//           FROM products WHERE categoryid = 5 LIMIT 10
// LIMIT = MySQL paging, don't know how to write that for SQLServer
// p in this example is not a product, but an anonymous type with
// only two properties (ProductName and ProductId)
foreach (var p in top10);
    Console.WriteLine("ProductId {0} Name {1}", p.ProductId, p.ProductName);

Update:
I don't know what kind of application you are developing but if you need to display data in a DataGrid I would suggest using the devexpress XtraGrid (available for WinForms, WPF/Silverlight and ASP.net) which has a ServerMode which works pretty well with SubSonic's LinqTemplates (since it can be bound to an IQuerable and itself handles the paging/sorting/filtering on the IQuerable and only needs a few records at a time.
That greatly reduced the memory footprint and loading performance of our app (which loaded a bunch of records into a datatable).

Last weekend saw the British Riding Clubs CIC2* squad win a double triumph on the European Championships stage when they won both team silver as well as individual gold title at Helvoit in the Netherlands.
This aspirational competition is an opportunity for some of Europe's best amateur riders to compete at an international championship. The first test is the team dressage in which all six riders perform together. This is followed by individual tests in dressage, cross-country and showjumping.
The British Team is selected from members of British Riding Clubs – the UK's largest organisation for amateur riders.
Testament to the British Eventing Training programme, 'Mark Todd Bridging the Gap' (MTBTG), two scholarship winners from this programme finished in the top ten placings.
This generous scholarship gives those BE Members who are training towards top level eventing competition a chance to represent the scholarship sponsors (Keyflow and the Mark Todd Collection) as a brand ambassador, receiving prizes in kind, as well as access to top training.
Francesca 'Franky' Reid-Warrilow (pictured), a member of Vale of Arrow RC in Powys, won individual gold for Britain with from the fore with her own Dolley Whisper. This successful pairing put in an immaculate performance, adding nothing to their dressage score of 40.4.
Franky, who is 25 years old, was the first ever recipient of the MTBTG scholarship in 2013.
Joining Franky in the top ten for the GB squad was 26-year-old Tyler Cassells from East Cheshire Combined Training Group who took fourth place with John Marsden and Joe Chambers' Grandslam on 51.7 while 25-year-old Zoe Wilkinson from West Oxfordshire RC finished in sixth place with her own GHS Calvaruise on 78.8.
Like gold medal winner Franky, Zoe is also a Bridging the Gap scholarship winner, having been selected as the worthy recipient in the 2014 selection.
Also representing Britain was Stephanie O'Neil from Strathearn RC with her own Millridge Aurora's Diamond (22nd place), Anthony Clark from Cambridge RC with his own and Janice Hawes' Crambamboli (23rd), Danielle Dunn from the Vale of the White RC with her own and Jenny Lockyer's Zocarla BLH (30th place). Eliminated across country were Sarah Holmes from the Isle Of Wight Riding Club with her own Lowhill Clover and also Emily Prangnell from Kettlethorpe RC with DHI Beaunesse whom she owns with Maxine and Dennis Prangnell.
On behalf of the British CIC2* squad, British Riding Clubs would like to thank British Eventing and the British Equestrian Federation for their continued support of this important competition and Childeric Saddles and Equilibrium Trizone for their generous sponsorship.

Austrian Airlines will add a second service on to its Vienna-Tehran route next year.
The carrier currently operates an A319 six-times weekly — each day apart from Saturdays — between the two cities as OS871/872.
From March 11, it will add A320-operated flights OS873/874.
Outbound service OS873 will depart Vienna at 0945 and arrive in Tehran at 1635, and return leg OS874 will leave Tehran at 1725 and land in Vienna at 1930.
Austrian Airline restarted flights to Tehran in March last year, just over one year since it suspended services owing to economic sanctions and currency fluctuations (see news, January 2014).


As with all rotations, it is professional, and to your advantage to be early and be prepared. Come with your gown and store your backpack somewhere safe – that is NOT in radiology. All supplies will be provided for you. Pick up your supplies and put them in your room before seating the patient. You will be given a brief orientation.
General Infection Control and Clinic Rules are Strictly Enforced!
Always clean and do standard infection control steps in the room before you start. This includes wiping down the X-ray head, arm, chair, tube head, sensor, and keyboard. When you are finished taking images, disinfect and clean the room again just as you did before you started.
Cover the control panel with a plastic barrier. We do not wipe down the control panel, as the wipes destroy the plastic.
Replace sensor barriers as needed. A tear will allow saliva to contaminate and eventually ruin the sensor. Remember: sensors are expensive, plastic is cheap!
No gloves are worn when you are beyond the control panel. That means NO gloves in halls. No one can tell that the gloves you have on are clean.
Do not touch your gown with your gloves!
Wear a mask and eye protection. After all, you are looking into the mouth and patients may cough in your face.
Before you seat the patient, type the patient's number into axiUm and go to the "In Progress" tab. Ensure that an FMX has been treatment planned and financially approved (P* removed). If not, then go ahead and treatment plan it, have faculty swipe it, then have the patient consent to it, sign for it, and pay.
Seat the patient, discuss what you are going to be doing, and ask if the patient has any questions.
When was the last time you had a full set of X-rays taken?
Do you have anything removable in your mouth (including piercings)?
Do you have TB or other infectious diseases?
We retake FMX on average every 5 years, but more often if there have been many changes since the last one was taken. We will retake images sooner than 5 years if the patient cannot get their FMX to Pacific or they are not of diagnostic quality.
All dentures, eyeglasses, partials, piercings (tongue, nose), and hats must be removed before images are acquired. The patient must remove these items as the student or faculty will not do the removing. Have a cup and paper towel ready for the patient to use for these items.
If patient has active TB (not just a positive skin test), we do NOT treat them in the clinic or take X-rays.
If a patient may be pregnant, they have the option to wait and have images taken after they have the baby. However, the patient cannot be assigned or treated without images. It is safe to take an FMX on a pregnant patient, and you can assure the patient that several studies have proved this.
According to NCRP*, a pregnant female could safely receive a dose equal to 14 FMX for each month she is pregnant.
Look inside the patient's mouth to determine presence/absence of 3rd molars and assess their general dentition.
Obtain a VERBAL START CHECK from faculty by presenting the patient information, your clinical findings, and their answers to the 4 questions.
Sequence: Begin with vertical bitewings on premolars. Based on bone level, determine if horizontal or vertical bitewings indicated for molar images. Next, take anterior PA's followed by posterior PA's.
Use FMX 20 template for your images. All slots do not need to be filled. The goal is to take the fewest number of images and get all the required information.
Note: You are NEVER authorized to do re-takes without faculty approval.
If you have not captured what you need on the image, STOP and get help. Do not proceed and take more images. This is the time to correct your technique. It is your responsibility that the patient receives the least amount of radiation while capturing excellent diagnostic images. There are many tips and tricks you will be taught during this clinical block experience. As you gain experience, you will find that you will be able to acquire an excellent set of images regardless of the challenge.
If you are having trouble with long roots in PA images, ask a tech for help with the bisecting angle technique!
We do NOT diagnose in radiology block. If a patient asks about an image be sure to let them know that the diagnosis will be made with his/her student dentist during the exam.
Before the patient arrives, look at MiPACS to see date of last radiographs. Students may take any indicated bitewings and individual PA's on main clinic floor. (FMX's need to be taken in radiology). Once patient arrives, students should also ask patients the date of their last x-rays in case they had them taken at other office. If the patient is new to the school and has had xrays taken but at previous dental office, have them send to radiology@pacific.edu with patient's name, birth date, date of image. If no radiographs were taken in the last year but a FMX or Pano has been taken in last 5 years, then need to proceed with intra-oral exam to determine what images are indicated.
Also note that patient with radiographs in the last year may still need new radiographs, depending on the findings from the intra-oral exam, i.e. pain, caries, etc.
Must complete Radio Interpretation Form (RADINT) every time an image is taken. This form REQUIRES a swipe for approval after completing interpretation with clinic floor faculty.
Radio Interp Worksheet (RADRPT) is not required, but can be used if desired to guide interpretation process.

Cooper Standard sees great potential for Lauren
Chris Sweeney
Briant W. Matz, provided by Lauren Manufacturing
Lauren Manufacturing's New Philadelphia, Ohio, sites will be included in the Cooper Standard deal.
NOVI, Mich.—Cooper Standard Automotive Inc. has not been shy about its intentions to diversify beyond the automotive industry.
If it wasn't heard before, its latest deal broadcasts the message loud and clear.
The firm has entered an agreement to acquire Lauren Manufacturing and Lauren Plastics—two subsidiaries of New Philadelphia, Ohio-based Lauren International Ltd.—for an undisclosed amount.
Lauren's manufacturing and plastics businesses produce extruded and molded parts of organic, silicone, thermoplastic and engineered polymer products. The units specialize in sealing solutions for industrial and specialty automotive applications.
"We're excited about the acquisition," said Keith Stephenson, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Cooper Standard.
"We've spent a lot of time identifying target companies that we think will fit our business profile, but also would be complementary to what we're doing and allow us to accelerate our growth in the non-automotive space within our core technology. Lauren rose to the top of that list when we scanned the non-automotive sealing suppliers. We engaged with their leadership and felt very, very strongly that this was a quality business and a great cultural fit with Cooper Standard."
The deal is pending regulatory approvals and consent from the related parties. Stephenson said the firm doesn't anticipate any issues and expects the deal to close sometime in the third quarter. All employees, including Lauren's leadership team, will transfer with the business.
Kevin Gray—chairman, CEO and president of Lauren International—said Lauren was contacted by an investment banker who pinpointed his company as one that would fit within Cooper Standard's Industrial Specialty Group. He confirmed that Cooper Standard was the only suitor for the rubber and plastics manufacturing units.
Stephenson said Lauren shares a lot of common values with Cooper Standard, specifically a commitment to its employees and a strong sense of giving back to the community.
"Cooper Standard really emulates exactly the culture, business philosophy and integrity that Lauren Manufacturing and Lauren Plastics has had for its entire business life," Lauren Manufacturing President Lisa Huntsman said. "As we continue to grow by double digits, we understand to get to that next level it always takes the infrastructure and systems to help get you there. As we got to know the executives of Cooper Standard, they're just like us. That gave us great comfort in knowing that these guys are going to be great partners."
Diversify and conquer
Cooper Standard said the move will further expand the markets served by its Industrial and Specialty Group, which specializes in accelerating growth and maximizing the value of its products and technologies in non-automotive and specialty markets.
Stephenson said of Cooper Standard's $3.6 billion in sales, plus another $300 million of unconsolidated joint ventures, more than 95 percent is focused on automotive.
"They have a burning desire to build that business segment out," Gray said. "After some discussion back and forth, we realized that there was a lot of alignment in our values, in how we do business, and we also realized we had a lot to offer in the area they were looking at. They're very, very good in the automotive space, but they're just really getting a foothold in the industrial and specialty markets. That became extremely appealing for them and we felt this was a great opportunity for both companies to move into this area full steam ahead and do some really exciting things."
Lauren employs 500 across four facilities within the two businesses—two sites in New Philadelphia, Ohio; one in Kent, Ohio; and one in Spring Lake, Mich. The firm recently added 10 rubber extrusion lines to its operations in New Philadelphia.
Cooper Standard said Lauren's materials expertise will further strengthen its own extensive material science capabilities. Stephenson said Cooper Standard intends to run the units together as part of a combined ISG/Lauren business.
"It's about building your brand," Huntsman said. "Lauren has had a brand for 50 years in our marketplace. That's a great complement to what Cooper has already done in automotive, and now bringing those technologies into other markets where we are probably a little further ahead in. That's where we saw this huge synergy between the organizations."
Lauren's largest non-automotive industry is building and construction—window and door, commercial and residential weatherstrips—also having a presence in marine, RV, truck, bus and pickup trucks in addition to automotive accessories with some aftermarket presence.
"They have some terrific customer relationships in the non-automotive space," Stephenson said. "We think that when we combine the two businesses, we can help support and accelerate that. They've established a great presence in the non-automotive segments."
While Lauren does bring some automotive business to the table, it's less than 20 percent of its business. Novi-based Cooper Standard is a Tier 1 global automotive supplier with products including rubber and plastic sealing, fuel and brake lines, fluid transfer hoses and anti-vibration systems. Lauren serves the automotive industry as a Tier 2 supplier, Stephenson said.
Lauren's automotive business focuses more on the specialty side, with products that are used in lighting, HVAC protectors and body/side components.
Unique chemistry
Cooper Standard's desire to diversify has been accelerated thanks to multiple new products and compounds emerging from its innovation program, dubbed i3.
"We're leveraging our core technologies in material science and process innovation," Stephenson said. "It's not like we're going off and getting into areas unrelated to the core. It's leveraging the best of the core from a material science and an innovation standpoint, but bringing it into the non-automotive space from a very strong foundation we've built."
The most notable example of that is Fortrex, a new lightweight elastomeric material that combines the best attributes of EPDM and thermoplastic vulcanizates, two common materials used in sealing.
The firm said Fortrex offers weight savings up to 30 percent compared to EPDM, and avoids the compression set issues associated with TPVs, resulting in a stronger sealing system and reduced cabin noise. It does not weather like EPDM and can be color-matched.
Stephenson said the application of Fortrex can extend beyond its traditional automotive business into other areas.
While the compound helps its traditional automotive business, Stephenson said it's already generated many opportunities in other industries. And Lauren is projected to further support that growth.
"Fortrex is phenomenal," Huntsman said. "The innovation that they have put into this material and the process is phenomenal. It's really going to revolutionize some things."
Lauren International's makeup will look significantly different going forward, having virtually exited the rubber and plastics manufacturing industries.
It will retain its stake in LMI Custom Mixing L.L.C., a joint venture with Meteor Sealing Systems—now a subsidiary of Toyoda Gosei Co.—based in Cambridge, Ohio. The unit represents Lauren's biggest remaining foothold into the rubber industry as it produced compounds for both Lauren's rubber manufacturing units and other outside customers.
Gray said he expects LMI to continue providing compound for Lauren Manufacturing even after the transaction. Stephenson said LMI will "continue to be an important supply partner to the business."
As for rubber manufacturing, Gray said there is a very small rubber products presence within Lauren Agrisystems—which sells dairy related products like silicone and rubber liners among its offerings. However, Gray said a lot of those products are produced by Lauren Manufacturing and then sold to the sister subsidiary.
Lauren International's remaining subsidiaries include Nurtured Pets, a producer of pet products; Lauren Innovations, a software company that produces safety systems for schools; Retail Products and Services sells shelving units and displays into convenient stores; and Flite Test, a manufacturer of remote controlled aircrafts.
While Gray said the firm will be focusing on all its remaining units, he highlighted Lauren Innovations and Flite Test as ones to keep an eye on. Lauren is seeing increased demand for school safety systems, especially in light of recent events—there were 23 school shootings involving an injury or fatality within the first 21 weeks of 2018. And Flite Test continues to see growth for both its drone and fixed wing product lines.
"One of our principles is innovation," Gray said. "We have various companies at different levels and different points along the journey. We're going to continue to build those out and look for opportunities—both organically and through acquisitions—to bolt-on some things and do some things that can create tremendous value down the road for these other items we've been working on."

Q: Xamarin.Forms multi column table GUI Is ListView the right option to create a table? Something like this?

The cell content is text only, but I need to be able to show something like  a drop down menu on cell touch with the few most common options and text field for custom entry.
There will be a maximum of 80 to 100 lines of data, usually much less.

A: ListView is indeed the best way to approximate a table.  Here is an example...
<ListView x:Name="listViewm" ItemsSource="{Binding MyItems}">
    <ListView.Header>
        <Grid BackgroundColor="Black">
            <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <ColumnDefinition Width="1*" />
                <ColumnDefinition Width="1*" />
                <ColumnDefinition Width="1*" />
                <ColumnDefinition Width="1*" />
            </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

        </Grid>
    </ListView.Header>

    <ListView.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <ViewCell>
                <Grid BackgroundColor="Black">
                    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                        <ColumnDefinition Width="1*" />
                        <ColumnDefinition Width="1*" />
                        <ColumnDefinition Width="1*" />
                        <ColumnDefinition Width="1*" />
                    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

                </Grid>
            </ViewCell>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>

This is the code in the view model...
public class MyItem : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    bool _switch = false;

    public bool Switch
    {
        get
        {
            return _switch;
        }

        set
        {
            if (_switch != value)
            {
                _switch = value;
                PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs("Switch"));
            }
        }

    }

    public int Addend1 { get; set; }

    public int Addend2 { get; set; }

    public int Result
    {
        get
        {
            return Addend1 + Addend2;
        }
    }

    public string Summary
    {
        get
        {
            return Addend1 + " + " + Addend2 + " = " + Result;
        }
    }

    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
}

//...

public MyItems ObservableCollection<MyItem> { get; set; }

//...

MyItems = new ObservableCollection<MyItem>();
MyItems.Add(new MyItem() { Switch = true, Addend1 = 1, Addend2 = 2 });
MyItems.Add(new MyItem() { Switch = false, Addend1 = 1, Addend2 = 2 });
MyItems.Add(new MyItem() { Switch = true, Addend1 = 2, Addend2 = 3 });
MyItems.Add(new MyItem() { Switch = false, Addend1 = 2, Addend2 = 3 });

This results in a table that looks like this...

I am not sure why the gutters between columns are so wide.
You can define menu items on ViewCell.ContextActions.

Q: How to creat a four dimentional (from a vector) matrix and reset it's 'lower triangle' I am trying to get a 4 dimentional matrix out of a vector and then reset it's
'lower triangel'.
for example, if my original vector is two dimentional: A = [1 2]' then I would like my initial matrix to be:
C(:,:,1,1) = [1*1*1*1 1*1*1*2 ; 1*1*2*1 1*1*2*2] = [ 1 2 ; 2  4]
C(:,:,2,1) = [2*1*1*1 2*1*1*2 ; 2*1*2*1 2*1*2*2] = [ 2 4 ; 4  8]
C(:,:,1,2) = [1*2*1*1 1*2*1*2 ; 1*2*2*1 1*2*2*2] = [ 2 4 ; 4  8]
C(:,:,2,2) = [2*2*1*1 2*2*1*2 ; 2*2*2*1 2*2*2*2] = [ 4 8 ; 8 16]

So C is:
C(:,:,1,1) = [ 1 2 ; 2  4]  C(:,:,2,1) = [ 2 4 ; 4  8]
C(:,:,1,2) = [ 2 4 ; 4  8]  C(:,:,2,2) = [ 4 8 ; 8 16]

and after reset I would like it to be:
C(:,:,1,1) = [ 1 2 ; 2  4]  C(:,:,2,1) = [ 0 0 ; 0  0]
C(:,:,1,2) = [ 0 0 ; 4  8]  C(:,:,2,2) = [ 0 0 ; 8 16]

shotrly, I want no rows repetitions.
I tried the following code:
A = [1 2]';
C = bsxfun(@times, permute(C, [4 3 2 1]), C*C');
disp('C before reset is:');
disp(C);

for k = 2:size(C, 4)
  C(1:k-1,:,k) = 0;
end

disp('C after reset is:');
disp(C);
disp('The size of C is:');
disp(size(C));

But the output is:
BB before reset is:
(:,:,1,1) =
     1     2
     2     4
(:,:,1,2) =
     2     4
     4     8
C after reset is:
(:,:,1,1) =
     1     2
     2     4
(:,:,1,2) =
     0     0
     4     8
The size of BB is:
     2     2     1     2

What did I miss?
I think I don't understand what is behind the line:
C = bsxfun(@times, permute(C, [4 3 2 1]), C*C');

what is the meaning of each number in the row [4 3 2 1]?
Thanks!
edit note: The matrix represents correlations between neurons. I am trying to look at the correlation structure of groups of 4 neurons. So, each 4 neurons sould only be measuresd once. I think that he matrix before reset contains 4! times, every group of 4, because they apear in all orders. I could leave it like this but I am think it might slow the program..

A: Permute exchanges dimensions, so for example
C = [1:3;4:6];

permute(C, [2 1])

Computes a simple transpose by swapping rows and columns. The [2 1] argument means that the 2st and 1st dimension of C are mapped to the 1st and 2nd dimension in the result. Each 'new' dimension is specified in order. So [3 2 1] would take the 3rd, 2nd and 1st dimensions to be the new 1st, 2nd and 3rd dimensions.
permute(C, [3 2 1])

ans =

ans(:,:,1) =

   1   2   3

ans(:,:,2) =

   4   5   6

Elements of C with row = 1 are found in where the 3rd dimension = 1 in the result. Similarly, elements of C with row = 2 are found where the 3rd dimension = 2 in the result.
Elements of C with column = 1 are still found where column = 1 in the result (and so on) as the column dimension was mapped to itself.
The rows of the result is the interesting dimension, it is singleton (i.e. there is only one row) as a result of C having no 3rd dimension.
Addressing the first part of your problem, the correct output for C can be obtained by
A = [1 2]'*[1 2];
C = bsxfun(@times, permute(A, [4,3,1,2]), A);

I would need more information on what you want the final behaviour to be ('resetting the lower triangle') as it is unclear to me what you desire.
A function that might be useful to you is the triu function which extracts upper triangular components of a matrix.


TMM is the block form of this command.
The Text Margin line command is used to reformat a paragraph of text to fit within a certain column range. A "paragraph" is a group of lines starting with the TM command and ending at the next blank line or the end of the file. The paragraph is made to fit into the margin by breaking it apart into "words" and reassembling the paragraph.
Text Margin is similar to Text Flow (TF) except that the way it interacts with BOUNDS is different; see the discussion below.
TM honors the existing text indent (normal or reverse) of the first and subsequent lines of the original paragraph.
The Text Margin command uses a simplified definition of "words", one that is not based upon the Normal Characters for P'.' picture literals in the General Options dialog. Instead, a "word" is any string delimited by blanks or by the beginning or end of a line.
Type TM in the line command area of the line at which you want the text to begin flowing. If you want to specify the rightmost column position for the restructured text, type a number greater than 1 immediately after the TM command.
Type TMM in the line command area of the first line of the first paragraph at which you want the text to begin flowing. If you want to specify the rightmost column position for the restructured text, type a number greater than 1 immediately after the TMM command.
Type TMM in the line command area of the last line of the last paragraph at which you want the text to begin flowing. If you want to specify the rightmost column position for the restructured text, and did not specify this in step (1) above, you can type a number greater than 1 immediately after the second TMM command here. As with all block-mode commands, it is unnecessary but possible to specify a number both places, but if this is done, they must agree.
When BOUNDS is defined as 1 bb then TM without a n value is treated the same as if the command were specified as TMbb. When lines are reformatted into paragraphs, the right-hand margin of lines will be aligned so that they are as long as possible without the column margin exceeding a width of bb characters on any given line.
When BOUNDS is defined as 1 MAX then TM without a n value is treated the same as if the command were specified as TMww, where ww is the current screen width. When lines are reformatted into paragraphs, the right-hand margin of lines will be aligned so that they are as long as possible without the column margin exceeding a width of ww characters on any given line.
TM with a n value respects the n value. When lines are reformatted into paragraphs, the right-hand margin of lines will be aligned so that they are as long as possible without the column margin exceeding a width of n characters on any given line. The current contents of the BOUNDS value is ignored when an n value is present on the TM command.
Regardless of any bounds values in effect, TM/TMM will place its results between column 1 and the right-most margin column as determined above, even if the current left bound of any BOUNDS command in effect would be incompatible with this understanding.
It is important to note that TM will inquire as to the state of BOUNDS at the time, but the results it produces are not restricted to the BOUNDS column range in effect at the time. In particular, regardless of the current BOUNDS setting, you will not get an error message similar to "TF right bound specified, but global BNDS are set. TF abandoned" that can sometimes occur with Text Flow.
See TF / TFF - Text-Flow a Paragraph and Word Processing Support for more information.
In a character-mode editor such as NotePad, open an existing text file, or type the lines you need.
If you wish, feel free to allow these lines of text to wrap from one line to the next without pressing Enter.
Highlight (text-select) the desired lines, and press Ctrl-C to copy them into the Windows clipboard.
In SPFLite, use an A line command, and the PASTE primary command, to paste the text data into your edit file.
Use a TMM block to set the text margins of the lines you just pasted in, to some length (say, 80). This will reformat the block to a maximum length of 80 characters, splitting lines as needed and gluing others together.
Then, put your cursor on the line after which you want the text pasted in, and press Alt-V.
If you didn't want to go outside of SPFLite, you could simply create a bunch of temporary or permanent blank lines, enter your data, and use TMM to reformat them. This will accomplish basically the same thing, but will take more steps, because you will have to have several SPFLite interactions to create an "opening" in the file in which to put your initially-entered text before it gets reformatted.


Borrowing its title from a book by American journalist John Reed (of Reds fame), Sergei Eisenstein's Ten Days That Shook the World reenacts the crucial week-and-a-half in October, 1918, when the Russian Kerensky regime was toppled by the Bolsheviks. While Eisenstein takes certain liberties in characterization--those opposing the Bolsheviks are depicted as mental defectives or grossly overweight clowns--his re-creation of such events as the storming of the Winter Palace are painstakingly meticulous. The "actor" playing Lenin, a nonprofessional worker named Nikandrov, so closely resembles the genuine article that the effect is positively eerie. So authentic is Eisenstein's reconstruction of events that, for years, TV documentaries have been passing off clips from Ten Days That Shook the World as "actual" scenes of the Revolution.

Q: How can I fill a column with random numbers in SQL? I get the same value in every row UPDATE CattleProds
SET SheepTherapy=(ROUND((RAND()* 10000),0))
WHERE SheepTherapy IS NULL

If I then do a SELECT I see that my random number is identical in every row. Any ideas how to generate unique random numbers?

A: I tested 2 set based randomization methods against RAND() by generating 100,000,000 rows with each.  To level the field the output is a float between 0-1 to mimic RAND().  Most of the code is testing infrastructure so I summarize the algorithms here:
-- Try #1 used
(CAST(CRYPT_GEN_RANDOM(8) AS BIGINT)%500000000000000000+500000000000000000.0)/1000000000000000000 AS Val
-- Try #2 used
RAND(Checksum(NewId()))
-- and to have a baseline to compare output with I used
RAND() -- this required executing 100000000 separate insert statements

Using CRYPT_GEN_RANDOM was clearly the most random since there is only a .000000001% chance of seeing even 1 duplicate when plucking 10^8 numbers FROM a set of 10^18 numbers.  IOW we should not have seen any duplicates and this had none!  This set took 44 seconds to generate on my laptop.
Cnt     Pct
-----   ----
 1      100.000000  --No duplicates

SQL Server Execution Times:
   CPU time = 134795 ms,  elapsed time = 39274 ms.
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#T0') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #T0;
GO
WITH L0   AS (SELECT c FROM (VALUES (1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1)) AS D(c))  -- 2^4
    ,L1   AS (SELECT 1 AS c FROM L0 AS A CROSS JOIN L0 AS B)    -- 2^8
    ,L2   AS (SELECT 1 AS c FROM L1 AS A CROSS JOIN L1 AS B)    -- 2^16
    ,L3   AS (SELECT 1 AS c FROM L2 AS A CROSS JOIN L2 AS B)    -- 2^32
SELECT TOP 100000000 (CAST(CRYPT_GEN_RANDOM(8) AS BIGINT)%500000000000000000+500000000000000000.0)/1000000000000000000 AS Val
  INTO #T0
  FROM L3;

 WITH x AS (
     SELECT Val,COUNT(*) Cnt
      FROM #T0
     GROUP BY Val
)
SELECT x.Cnt,COUNT(*)/(SELECT COUNT(*)/100 FROM #T0) Pct
  FROM X
 GROUP BY x.Cnt;

At almost 15 orders of magnitude less random this method was not quite twice as fast, taking only 23 seconds to generate 100M numbers.
Cnt  Pct
---- ----
1    95.450254    -- only 95% unique is absolutely horrible
2    02.222167    -- If this line were the only problem I'd say DON'T USE THIS!
3    00.034582
4    00.000409    -- 409 numbers appeared 4 times
5    00.000006    -- 6 numbers actually appeared 5 times

SQL Server Execution Times:
   CPU time = 77156 ms,  elapsed time = 24613 ms.
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#T1') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #T1;
GO
WITH L0   AS (SELECT c FROM (VALUES (1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1)) AS D(c))  -- 2^4
    ,L1   AS (SELECT 1 AS c FROM L0 AS A CROSS JOIN L0 AS B)    -- 2^8
    ,L2   AS (SELECT 1 AS c FROM L1 AS A CROSS JOIN L1 AS B)    -- 2^16
    ,L3   AS (SELECT 1 AS c FROM L2 AS A CROSS JOIN L2 AS B)    -- 2^32
SELECT TOP 100000000 RAND(Checksum(NewId())) AS Val
  INTO #T1
  FROM L3;

WITH x AS (
    SELECT Val,COUNT(*) Cnt
     FROM #T1
    GROUP BY Val
)
SELECT x.Cnt,COUNT(*)*1.0/(SELECT COUNT(*)/100 FROM #T1) Pct
  FROM X
 GROUP BY x.Cnt;

RAND() alone is useless for set-based generation so generating the baseline for comparing randomness took over 6 hours and had to be restarted several times to finally get the right number of output rows.  It also seems that the randomness leaves a lot to be desired although it's better than using checksum(newid()) to reseed each row.
Cnt  Pct
---- ----
1    99.768020
2    00.115840
3    00.000100  -- at least there were comparitively few values returned 3 times

Because of the restarts, execution time could not be captured.
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#T2') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #T2;
GO
CREATE TABLE #T2 (Val FLOAT);
GO
SET NOCOUNT ON;
GO
INSERT INTO #T2(Val) VALUES(RAND());
GO 100000000

WITH x AS (
    SELECT Val,COUNT(*) Cnt
     FROM #T2
    GROUP BY Val
)
SELECT x.Cnt,COUNT(*)*1.0/(SELECT COUNT(*)/100 FROM #T2) Pct
  FROM X
 GROUP BY x.Cnt;

A: If you are on SQL Server 2008 you can also use
 CRYPT_GEN_RANDOM(2) % 10000

Which seems somewhat simpler (it is also evaluated once per row as newid is - shown below)
DECLARE @foo TABLE (col1 FLOAT)

INSERT INTO @foo SELECT 1 UNION SELECT 2

UPDATE @foo
SET col1 =  CRYPT_GEN_RANDOM(2) % 10000

SELECT *  FROM @foo

Returns (2 random probably different numbers)
col1
----------------------
9693
8573

Mulling the unexplained downvote the only legitimate reason I can think of is that because the random number generated is between 0-65535 which is not evenly divisible by 10,000 some numbers will be slightly over represented. A way around this would be to wrap it in a scalar UDF that throws away any number over 60,000 and calls itself recursively to get a replacement number.
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.RandomNumber()
RETURNS INT
AS
  BEGIN
      DECLARE @Result INT

      SET @Result = CRYPT_GEN_RANDOM(2)

      RETURN CASE
               WHEN @Result < 60000
                     OR @@NESTLEVEL = 32 THEN @Result % 10000
               ELSE dbo.RandomNumber()
             END
  END

A: Instead of rand(), use newid(), which is recalculated for each row in the result.  The usual way is to use the modulo of the checksum. Note that checksum(newid()) can produce -2,147,483,648 and cause integer overflow on abs(), so we need to use modulo on the checksum return value before converting it to absolute value.
UPDATE CattleProds
SET    SheepTherapy = abs(checksum(NewId()) % 10000)
WHERE  SheepTherapy IS NULL

This generates a random number between 0 and 9999.

A: While I do love using CHECKSUM, I feel that a better way to go is using NEWID(), just because you don't have to go through a complicated math to generate simple numbers .
ROUND( 1000 *RAND(convert(varbinary, newid())), 0)

You can replace the 1000 with whichever number you want to set as the limit, and you can always use a plus sign to create a range, let's say you want a random number between 100 and 200, you can do something like :
100 + ROUND( 100 *RAND(convert(varbinary, newid())), 0)

Putting it together in your query :
UPDATE CattleProds
SET SheepTherapy= ROUND( 1000 *RAND(convert(varbinary, newid())), 0)
WHERE SheepTherapy IS NULL

A: require_once('db/connect.php');

//rand(1000000 , 9999999);

$products_query = "SELECT id FROM products";
$products_result = mysqli_query($conn, $products_query);
$products_row = mysqli_fetch_array($products_result);
$ids_array = [];

do
{
    array_push($ids_array, $products_row['id']);
}
while($products_row = mysqli_fetch_array($products_result));

/*
echo '<pre>';
print_r($ids_array);
echo '</pre>';
*/
$row_counter = count($ids_array);

for ($i=0; $i < $row_counter; $i++)
{
    $current_row = $ids_array[$i];
    $rand = rand(1000000 , 9999999);
    mysqli_query($conn , "UPDATE products SET code='$rand' WHERE id='$current_row'");
}

Venmo vs. Zelle vs. Cash. Who wins the battle of cash apps?
Which is best for money transfers, is one safer?
Which is best to use to transfer money? venmo, Zelle, or the Cash app?
By: John Matarese
When it comes time to pitch in on a restaurant tab or send $20 to a friend, cash is no longer king, at least with millennials.
Mobile payments are common now. But if you are deciding which app to download -- which service is best, and which is safer?
It turns out it depends who your friends are.
Pros and cons of each service
If you're splitting the bill in a bar or restaurant, paying with hard cash is so yesterday.
Now tens of millions of people pay with Venmo , Zelle, or the Cash app.
But Money Magazine says there are big differences.
Venmo, owned by PayPal, was the first, and is the number one choice among younger people. It's so popular that Venmo-ing is now a verb, as in, "Hey, Venmo me that $20 you promised me two weeks ago."
Zelle, owned by a consortium of banks, draws an older crowd because it is now built in to many banking apps.
As a result, for many people it's easier to use than Venmo and is more likely to be used when Mom wants to send Aunt Donna some cash for Grandma's birthday party.
Another advantage of Zelle: It puts money in your account instantly, since it is part of your banking app. There is no delay in transferring money, not even for five minutes.
The Cash app, owned by Square, is the upstart and is growing the fastest right now.
It's big advantage is that you can use it to shop or dine, which you can't always do with the other two. It's easy to use in coffee shops and restaurants or any business that uses Square (that white gizmo next to the cash register).
The social network side of Venmo
But from the doesn't that stink file: One upside and downside of Venmo, which makes if very different from the other two apps.
Venmo is like a social network in that you can see what your friends are doing, and who is sending money to whom.
If they are all having a great time out at dinner on a Saturday, and you weren't invited, you may see all your friends transferring money to each other. It's like watching everyone else posting about their great evening on Facebook or Instagram.
If you are home by yourself binge watching "Stranger Things" on Netflix, you may say, "Doesn't that stink?"
The good news: You can now turn off the sharing feature, so at least you don't have to watch everyone else having fun.
But if you really value your privacy, you may want to choose Zelle or the Cash app.
Security concerns
Finally, what about security? Venmo and Zelle both have a similar drawback: if you accidentally enter a wrong phone number you can end up wiring cash to a stranger. So it's essential to confirm your friend's phone number.
And these apps don't provide the same fraud protection a credit card does.
Zelle was originally considered the safer option, since it is owned by major banks, but it is now becoming a popular target for scammers, so there is probably little difference when it comes to safety.
Of course, old fashioned cash always works, though if everyone you are with is Venmo-ing it, you might feel out of place.

Advanced Patrol Tactics: Patrol, Vehicle Stops and Officer Safety
Roadway Tactics: Train the Trainer
Avoiding Preventable Fatal Behaviors
Those assigned to the all-important role of Field Training Officer (FTO) attend training on how an FTO process should be managed. They are instructed on what subjects and tactics recruit officers need be evaluated on. However, few FTOs are trained themselves, on how to teach and demonstrate those all-important subjects and tactics..
Scenarios & Tactics for the Field Training Officer is a dynamic, interactive and informative seminar developed by highly experienced police officers, trainers and FTOs.
In this 2-Day program students will examine their FTO role from the very beginning of the Field Training process to the ultimate end. They will address the Why about their role and goals. They will learn how to teach adults and consider generational differences. And they will reexamine their understanding of tactics and how to mentor, demonstrate and teach recruits so they will develop an understanding of how proficiency is developed and how they should utilize that understanding as their careers progress.
Scenarios: Each student will be given dozens of scenarios to take with them and utilize during the training process. They will learn how to include recruits, how to run them and what to look for as recruits participate.
Designed by Calibre's Seasoned FTO Trainers, this program will help you:
It Starts with Why: Purpose, Cause, Beliefs
Analysis of actual videos of police/citizen interactions
Scenario training
The Role of the FTO as trainer, teacher, evaluator & mentor
The Interaction Stages: How to observe, assess, decide and behave
Balance between a guardian role and a warrior mentality
The Fatal Four
Considering the trainee perspective
Adult Learning: How to teach adults
Generational considerations
Four Stages of Learning & Performance
Feedback: Phrases, question, listening & follow-up
Acute Stress and its impact on behavior
Tactics, tactics, tactics
This class is a crash course in contemporary leadership skills and traits. It's essential to those interested in learning… and great to those currently leading.
Officer Rivera, Salinas PD, CA
"Excellent Course that offers good training for the Field Training Officer. The material was great and the best take-away from this program was the importance of Scenarios."
Training Coordinator – Cleveland Clinic Police Department
"I enjoyed the training and it was interesting to hear perspectives from other officers across the country. The instructor did an excellent job and his suggestion of RTT and scenario-based training for new hires post-academy was a great take-away. I thought it was a good alternative to in-person training."

Ishaq Dar chairs Privatization Commission meeting
March 20, 2014	| Government Institutions | Share:
Islamabad, March 20, 2014 (PPI-OT): The Federal Minister for Finance, Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar, chaired a meeting to review the progress made by the Privatization Commission in following the time line for the divestment of 3 entities already approved by the Cabinet Committee on Privatization (CCoP), today, at the Finance Ministry.
Minister of State for Privatization, Mr. Muhammad Zubair, in a detailed briefing explained that the Commission had been working with complete vigilance and efficiency to balance the competing objectives of maximizing sale proceeds while adequately addressing labour, social and environmental issues.
He said that, as the first step towards divesting shares in state owned entities, OGDCL, PPL and UBL will be offered to general public through prospective capital markets and the appointment of the Financial Advisors in this regard will be completed by the 3rd week of April 2014. He informed that out of the total shares held by the Government of Pakistan, only 10 -20% shares will be offered in the capital market and that will expectedly bring PKR.137 billion in proceeds.
The Federal Minister directed the Privatization Commission to exercise due diligence in the preparation of the offer circular. The Federal Minister also said that wherever possible pre-strategic partnership restructuring will be undertaken by the government to act as a catalyst factor in attracting private sector strategic partnerships and investment.
He said that while putting in place credible plans for restructuring, due process should not be compromised. He said that the whole process will also provide PSEs the incentive and flexibility to pursue long term investment plan thus liberating the Government from micro-management of PSEs.
The Federal Minister further directed the Chairman Privatization Commission to bring out a detailed plan of the operations and the expected time lines to meet the targets in the next meeting.
The meeting was also participated by Dr. Waqar Masood, Secretary Finance, Mr. Moazzam Ali, Consultant Privatization Commission, Mr. Assad Rasool, Senior Consultant Privatization Commission, Rana Assad Amin, Advisor to Finance Division, Special Assistant to Finance Minister, Mr. Shahid Mahmood and senior officials of the Ministry of Finance.

Ponderosa History & Owners
Ponderosa History:
With buildings dating back to the 1800s the original Ponderosa property was 3,000 acres. The Ponderosa property was owned by Simon Musser and Tom Sturges during the 1960s. After a few years of ownership, they divided the property in half. With his half, Simon, started a private game preserve. From the early 1980's to the mid 1990's Si operated his own "pay to hunt" business called "The Ponderosa Hunts." The Ponderosa Hunt was so popular it was even featured on Call of The Outdoors with host, Tom Fegley. When Mr. Musser became ill, the property was divided even further into smaller plots. Each plot was sold, except for the tract with the original buildings. In 1997 the original lodge burned down, and the new Ponderosa Lodge was then built. The Doll House, is one of the original buildings from the 1800's not affected by the fire.
Ponderosa Now:
Flash forward to 2003, The Hurst's bought the 235 acres. The cabins were remodeled and made available for rent. Additions to the property in 14 years of ownership include: 9 hole executive golf course, volleyball court, log playhouse for children, and more! Today, the Ponderosa Lodge & Golf is perfect for family reunions, church retreats, youth group retreats, conferences, weddings, and more!
Meet the Owners:
Born & raised in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Ken and Marion Hurst, are excited to be the new owners/caretakers of this part of God's world, Ponderosa Lodge & Golf. (Remember that the whole world belongs to Him.) They purchased the property in 2003. In 2013, Ken & Marion moved into the caretaker's cabin on the property where they live year round. While enjoying your stay at the Ponderosa, you might run into 1 of their 5 children or 5 grandchildren! Please, if you have any questions at all – feel free to reach out. We'd be happy to answer any questions you might have about our property! Contact: ken.ponderosa@gmail.com or (570) 769-2271.

It might be a default setting that is wrong, but there is something strange happening.
I have encountered this both at home using an AVR-ISP MKII (AVR8 bit processors) and now at work with an Atmel ICE ( ARM ).
When I use the device programming dialog ( Tools -> Device programming ) I select the appropriate processor + Interface and press " apply"
I've seen the same behavior. My hunch is that it is a bug, either in the programmer or the driver for the programmer.
hope a couple of others can confirm too. then I will see if I can get a bug report out.
just had a quick look at the microchip website, but that is going to be an interesting experience when I have to dive into it, hahahaha.
hope a couple of others can confirm too.


Artificial lighting beside rivers and lakes can significantly alter the dynamics of aquatic insect populations and their predators, according to a new study. The findings of a new open-access paper published in Frontiers in Environmental Science show how nocturnal lighting along waterways attracts large numbers of insects, which in turn attracts predators such as spiders.
The researchers suggest that artificial night-time lighting is increasing worldwide at a rate of approximately 3-6% a year. Recent studies (here, here and here, for example) have documented how increasing light pollution can affect ecosystems, particularly in how it might disrupt the daily and seasonal rhythms – such as hibernation, reproduction and hunting – of animal lives.
Artificial lights along the edges of rivers and lakes (in what is often termed the 'riparian zone') thus have the potential to alter the interactions between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. In part, this is important because ecological science and policy is increasingly focused on these interactions through 'landscape scale' and 'catchment based' approaches to research and management.
Identifying the ecological effects of light pollution in ecosystems affected by numerous other pressures is difficult. Urban ecosystems where artificial lighting is common are often subject to multiple pressures including habitat loss, nutrient pollution and water abstraction.
In order to isolate the effects of light pollution, Manfrin and colleagues set up an experimental series of street lamps beside two different drainage ditches in a nature reserve in north-east Germany. The Westhavelland Nature Park is one of the least illuminated areas in Germany, and is located within a 750-km2 International Dark Sky Reserve.
The street lamps along one ditch were turned on each night, whilst the lamps along the other were permanently left switched off. Over a two-year period, the researchers used traps to identify the types of insects and other invertebrates present along each ditch. The research team found that there were significantly higher numbers of insects at the artificially illuminated ditch than the one left in darkness.
Insects arrived in two main ways. First, more aquatic insects left the water in the illuminated ditch. The researchers suggest that this may be because the lights made it easier for larger fish to hunt and eat smaller fish that normally prey on insects, allowing more insects to survive.
Second, the illuminated lamps attracted large numbers of flying insects, compared with the lamps that were switched off. The swarms of insects at the illuminated ditches attracted predator species to the grass around the lamp posts. "The abundance of several nocturnal spiders increased at the illuminated bank, and their activity was extended into the day," says Manfrin. However, the abundance of nocturnal ground beetles decreased at the illuminated ditches.

2017-18 Men's Champions League
Vardar win group after stalemate between Löwen and Nantes
«Go back »Print Version
GROUP A REVIEW: Nantes needed a miracle to win the group, as their fate was out of their hands, but their 30:30 draw against Löwen means it will be title holders Vardar who proceed straight to the quarter-finals
»EHF CL Channel More information on »2017-18 Men's CL
»Group Phase
»HBC Nantes
The final round could have seen a surprise winner in VELUX EHF Champions League Group A, as a victory for HBC Nantes against Rhein-Neckar Löwen and a defeat for Vardar versus Plock would have propelled the French side to the top of the table.
However, Nantes only managed a draw, which handed Vardar the group win, as the title holders own the tie-breakers against the French side and FC Barcelona.
• Nicolas Claire scores seven times for Nantes, who will finish second or third in the group
• Löwen's top scorer is Swedish left wing Jerry Tollbring, with six goals
• Löwen were sure to finish fourth before the game and will meet the fifth-placed team from Group B in the Last 16
Rhein-Neckar Löwen (GER) vs HBC Nantes (FRA) 30:30 (13:15)
There was nothing the Lions could do to escape fourth place in the group, while Nantes had everything to play for, as they could easily top the table – but could also fall to third place in case of a loss.
There were no gifts from the hosts, as the game quickly became a tough fight between the two defences and goals were hard to come by. Yet Nantes managed to erase an early two-goal deficit with a 4:0 run that saw them take a 5:3 lead, though the visitors recorded a shocking offensive efficiency of 25 per cent after missing nine of the first 12 shots.
It was the great start that brought Nantes the win against Vardar in Round 13. On Saturday, despite their below-par attack, it was more of the same for the French side until late in the first half, when a 5:2 run spurred by left wing Tollbring saw Löwen level the game, 12:12.
Dramatic finish does not help Nantes
As Nantes went into the half-time break with a 15:13 lead, the French side looked like they had the upper hand against their opponents. But Löwen, who had a winless run of five games before the victory against Plock in the last round, were competitive. Tollbring and veteran line player Rafael Baena were in particularly fine form, helping their team take a 22:21 lead with 16 minutes to go.
With Nicolas Claire and Nicolas Tournat at the top of their game, though their defence missed a step, Nantes came back and were favourites to snatch their 10th win of the season when they pulled ahead to a 28:26 advantage.
It was a dramatic end for both teams, as Löwen equalised thanks to playmaker Andy Schmid, who scored all five of his goals in the last 15 minutes – but Nantes still had one last attack.
The time-out taken by coach Thierry Anti did not help, as the French side lost the ball in the final five seconds and therefore failed to force Vardar into a must-win situation against Plock on Sunday.
"Everybody could see that we tried everything to win this game and to get the possibility to reach first place in our group. Playing against RNL is never easy. It was a close game like in Nantes," said Nantes coach Anti, while Löwen coach Nikolaj Jacobsen added: "The draw is OK. I am happy that I could use all my players. We saw two very good teams, not only today, in the whole Champions Leage season so far. I wish Nantes best of luck for the next games."
If Barcelona take a victory against Szeged on Sunday, Nantes will finish third in the group, while any other result will hand the French side second place.

Amazon receives FAA approval for drone delivery trials in US
Approval comes as Amazon's business surges due to Covid-19
by David Ndichu
Amazon has received approval from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to start trialling commercial deliveries via drone, according to a Bloomberg report.
That license allows Amazon to begin its first commercial deliveries in the U.S. on an experimental basis using its MK27 family of drones unveiled last year.
The retail giant follows UPS and Wing, an Alphabet subsidiary, in getting the FAA approval.
To receive FAA certification, the company had to document everything from pilot-training programs to drug testing. It also demonstrated its operations for FAA inspectors in recent days, Bloomberg says.
Still, Amazon and its competitors must clear various other regulatory and technical hurdles before the government deems them ready to operate in the highly regulated aviation sector.
"This certification is an important step forward for Prime Air and indicates the FAA's confidence in Amazon's operating and safety procedures for an autonomous drone delivery service that will one day deliver packages to our customers around the world," David Carbon, an Amazon vice president who oversees Prime Air, said in a statement.
The approval comes as Amazon's business has surged during the Covid-19 pandemic as sheltered-at-home consumers take to online shopping.
In the UAE, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) transportation for both goods and people is moving closer to reality.
An agreement signed in Dubai in August seeks to chart out air corridors for autonomous aerial vehicles.
An MoU signed between the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and Dubai Air Navigation Services (DANS) seeks to define safety and security protocols of aerial transport within the geographical perimeters of Dubai "through advanced technologies".
The MoU seeks to, among others, define test programmes, specifications of take-off and landing sites for autonomous air vehicles, among others.
Read: Sheikh Mohammed's new law to regulate all drone operations in Dubai
In July, Dubai also issued a law regulating the operations of UAVs. The 'Sky Dome' initiative seeks to build a structural eco-system for drones as well as create a master plan for the infrastructure of ground stations and their use as airports, loading and connecting stations, and maintenance, operation and freight stations for drones.
Dubai has previously tested a self-flying taxi service. A video released back in 2017 showed an autonomous drone taking to the skies and safely landing at a designated spot.

Carre Blanc has the distinction of being Moscow's only real, and, not only for that reason, greatest French restaurant. The dearth of French restaurants in Moscow is surprising, given the city's vibrant restaurant culture and the country's historical relationship with France. After all, French was practically the official language of the Russian aristocracy, and Russia was the largest export market for Champagne in the 19th century.
When it opened in 2001, Carre Blanc was a leader of the trend toward chic restaurants with rich, expat chef-driven cuisine, and today it is a survivor in an increasingly competitive market. Owners include expats Bruce Gardner and Martin Achatz. Chef Eric Le Provos (above), who was on hand for the opening, recently returned after a spell at another Moscow restaurant.
Carre Blanc is located about 500 meters east of Novoslobodskaya Ulitsa and about a kilometer north of the Garden Ring. In addition to a large and luxurious formal dining area, the restaurant has a separate bar and bistro, which draws a late-night crowd. In summer, there is a spacious terrace behind the building.
The menu boldly displays each French entry with Russian and English translation underneath, and it was refreshing to see the strictly traditional selection without today's faddish fusion or sushi and sashimi. Not even a Caesar salad. Starters include ingredients such as duck breast, foie gras, cèpe and morel mushrooms, and truffles. There are five each of the fish and meat entrees, and a good selection of items for the grill (priced in rubles per 100 grams). The restaurant is known for its large wine list, dominated by French, of course.
I tried the Crème de Châtaignes aux Cèpes (490r), a nutty bronze and creamy chestnut soup with white cèpe mushrooms and truffle oil. For a starter, I selected the Poêlée de Saint-Jacques, Risotto de Cèpes Sauce Safron (780r), plump pan-fried scallops presented on a tender and perfectly cooked white risotto with cèpe mushrooms surrounded by a deep-colored, creamy saffron sauce. My main course was Magret de Canard Rôti, Bâtons de Rhubarbe et Compotée d'Oignons et Pomme (930r), roasted and very tender duck breast, nicely contrasted with the sharp rhubarb, apples, and onion, over which it was served (goes well with a red Côte du Rhone wine). As for desserts — well, there are a dozen delights, such as Delicious Dacquoise Cake with banana candied in spices, apricot sorbet and chocolate tuile (450r).
We finished the evening in the crowded Bistro Le P'tit Carre. This enclave, which serves breakfast on the weekends, has an extensive selection of bistro items — salad of seasonal vegetables (310r), goat cheese salad (420r), onion soup gratiné (230r), Croque Monsieur (360r), and beef tartare Carré Blanc (480r).
In my opinion, Carre Blanc is one of Moscow's top ten, with something to offer those seeking haute cuisine, a social bistro meal and drink, or weekend brunch.

To that end, I have removed the majority of the brain work when it comes to figuring our your nutrition. Rather than having you figure out how much to each, I've put together this calculator to do it for you. All you need to do is input the information, and your calories and macronutrients will be automatically computed for you.
Operating on the backend of this web app are over two dozen highly developed calorie/macro formulas. I've spent the past 12 years developing all of these formulas, and all of them have been tested on hundreds of clients. While I have formulas for every conceivable goal, those used by this app are specific to Super Hero Muscle, and take into account all of the demands that will be imposed upon you by the program. As such, they're intended to be used only with SHM.
Each of the six phases of SHM is compatible with between 3-5 formulas, all designed to help you achieve the best possible scenario: building muscle without gaining fat. This can only happen if you're eating the correct number of calories, comprised of the correct macronutrient ratios to facilitate muscle growth without spilling over into excess body fat.

This Gear Helped Me Run Faster Marathons in My 40s
These sensors and shoes—and a beet juice elixir—gave speed back to a slowing runner.
We usually run slower as we age. But this year, turning 43, I set a goal to run a faster marathon, and use the best technology I could find to help me train. I detail the whole journey in a long feature for WIRED. It ended up working, twice! Here's the gear that helped me on the way.
For Proper Form
Garmin Running Dynamics Pod
You strap this little green device to the middle of your shorts—and then try to remember to take it off before you put everything in the washing machine. It measures how much your body sways when you run, the cadence and length of your stride, and how much time your feet spend on the ground. It's a useful way to help figure out how to optimize your form and posture as you run. The speed we go basically comes down to a simple formula: fitness times form, divided by mass. Some running coaches doubt that we can really improve form, but I'm convinced we can, particularly if we have data that tells us how much energy we are spending moving forward—and how much we are wasting by bopping up and down.
RunScribe
For a Symmetrical Stride
Scribe Labs RunScribe Plus
You lace one of these little guys into each shoe and it measures the symmetry of your motion and the power you are generating. It can help you figure out the right shoes to run in, and whether there are inefficiencies in your stride. You can test, for example, whether you pronate more in one kind of shoe than another, or whether it takes more effort to run at a certain speed on a certain course.

For Run Tracking
This is on the higher-end of Garmin's performance watch line. I used it to measure my resting heart rate, to accurately track runs, and as the central repository for all the data I was gathering. It would give me, for example, my TRIMP score, a measure of the total effort put into each run. It's not entirely accurate—it predicted I would run a 2:20 marathon based, I think, on a few workouts where the GPS didn't connect properly and had me running faster than world-record pace. But it's by far the most accurate watch I've run with.

For Racing
Nike VaporFly 4%
A lot has been written about these shoes. They are light and well cushioned, and they contain a small carbon-fiber plate, shaped like a spoon, that may help return energy to you as you run. At least with me, they also seem to help with recovery. I was able to run the NYC Marathon this fall four weeks after the Chicago Marathon. Normally, four weeks after a marathon, I'm still sitting on a couch with my feet in a bucket of ice.
For Stamina
Pomona Organic Beet Juice (12 Pack)
Beet juice, as I write in the article, contains nitrates, which may help with blood flow, and thus stamina. The problem is that most beet juice tastes disgusting. I experimented and eventually settled on these little bottles, which are flavored with a little lemon juice too. I would order them by the box and then drink one little bottle down each morning before breakfast.

We viewed several great houses that day, but continued to return to this one. One of the other houses was like the boyfriend you should have fallen in love with, but didn't for some reason.
That house was move-in ready and a beautiful setting...but not this setting.
So, here we go! We'll post our progress along the way as we transform this tired home with a view into a Plauche house.


Today's update includes several changes that will have widespread impact across all aspects of Rogue Assault. These changes should further clarify the strengths and weaknesses of each unit and turret class. Unit Promotions have been changed to grant exponentially more HP/DPS than the previous level. The team is actively looking for feedback on these changes. Please direct your feedback to the Rogue Assault subreddit at www.reddit.com/r/RogueAssault and the development team will see your comments!
Adjusted Stronghold difficulty so certain maps are no longer over/under powered.
Strongholds now use the same crate system as Player bases and now drop Bronze, Silver, or Gold boxes at all levels. Contents are determined based on stronghold level.
