Le Rolls-Royce RB.82 Soar, aussi désigné par le  RSr., était un petit turboréacteur jetable britannique à flux axial pour missiles de croisière, utilisé et construit par Rolls-Royce Limited dans les années 1950.

Conception et développement
le Soar fut développé au début des années 1950, et fut présenté pour la première fois au salon aéronautique de Farnborough en 1953, à chaque extrémité des ailes d'un banc de tests volant Gloster Meteor modifié. La version améliorée RB.93 produisait une poussée de . Comme il s'agissait de moteurs à usage unique, la durée de vie des Soar n'excédait pas une dizaine d'heures.

Ce moteur a servi de base à la conception d'un autre moteur Rolls-Royce, le RB.108.

Applications
Ce moteur devait servir d'unité de propulsion du projet de missile « Red Rapier », l'un des projets provenant de la requête opérationnelle . Le Red Rapier devait être construit par Vickers-Armstrong Ltd., à Weybridge, dans le comté du Surrey, sous la désignation de Vickers 825. Le développement fut annulé en 1953. Trois moteurs Soar furent utilisés sur ce concept, deux aux bout des ailes, et un au bout de la dérive verticale. Des répliques à l'échelle 1/3 sans moteurs furent fabriqués et lancés depuis les airs par un bombardier Washington (le Boeing B-29 Superfortress en service dans la Royal Air Force) sur l'aire de on the tests de missiles de Woomera, afin de tester l'aérodynamique et le fonctionnement du pilote automatique de l'engin.

Sous la désignation de Westinghouse J81, il fut le moteur propulsant le drone-cible . Sous sa désignation d'origine, il fut aussi utilisé comme source de puissance secondaire pour le projet de chasseur italien Aerfer Ariete, et également considéré comme système JATO pour d'autres avions.

Le projet Soar fut abandonné en , après avoir coûté en tout  de livres sterling.

'American Horror Story' Alum Sarah Paulson Confirms Return for Season 10, Teases More
By Allison Schonter - January 10, 2020 04:08 pm EST
After sitting out AHS: 1984, Sarah Paulson has confirmed that she will return to the franchise as a "central character" in American Horror Story Season 10. Paulson announced her return to the series during the Television Critics Association's winter press tour on Thursday, just after news broke that the Ryan Murphy-created horror anthology had been picked up for an additional three seasons.
"I did ask Ryan [Murphy], 'If the question was asked to me, could I say that I was coming back?' and he said, 'Yes, you could say.' So, yes I will be back on American Horror Story," Paulson said, according to The Wrap.
Although details for the upcoming season, which is believed to be set for a Fall 2020 premiere, remain unclear, including theme, the actress teased that she would again be taking on a lead role.
"I have no idea what it will be," she said. "I'm not coming back as a guest part. I would be a central character."
News of Paulson's return to the series comes after she had sat out for Season 9, marking the first time she had missed a new chapter of AHS since its inception.
Following the conclusion of 1984 and as the fate of AHS continued to hang in limbo, Murphy had teased that he was hoping to bring back several fan-favorite actors for Season 10, as, at the time, he was unsure if it would be the last.
"It's the last season we have contracted. So, I've been quietly reaching out to various people," he told TV Guide. "Some people I haven't reached out to yet because I was like, 'Do I have a role for them?' So far, everybody I reached out to said 'Yes,' so that's been great."
Paulson had even teased her desire to return to the franchise, stating in October that she was hoping to return alongside Evan Peters, who had also sat out 1984.
"It's hard to not be a part of it," Paulson said. "I would love to [return for Season 10]. I need to be a part of it again."
"I would like to do something with Evan [Peters]," she added. "I miss Evan and I miss acting with Evan. So I'd love to have that experience again. If he'll come back, I'm back."
As for if Paulson will be returning for Seasons 11, 12, and 13, which are set to run through 2023, she said, "god willing."
American Horror Story Season 10 is expected to premiere this fall on FX. It is unclear what other actors will return for the upcoming season.

The very humble among us do not advertise that they are humble. Their innate humility precludes them from doing so. All too often, humility is mistaken for low self-esteem. People who are, by nature, humble… possess the instinctive wisdom to recognize that they are but a small microcosm of a very big world. They go about their lives, quietly doing their part to contribute to this planet, to make a difference. The thing is, they are not in the least interested in receiving praise or accolades for their efforts and accomplishments. Theirs is a quiet power ― filled with purpose, not vanity or ego. Theirs is a simple creed: Observe. Listen. Above all, learn.
As history will attest, these are the people who don't aspire to greatness. Many of them simply are. Aside from the obvious biblical reference, one figure immediately comes to mind: Mahatma Gandhi.
By contrast, the arrogant who strut among us believe that the sun rises and sets on their very existence. They want to be heard, but don't care to listen. They do not seek more knowledge because they believe they know it all. They have all the answers. Their own hubris makes them deaf and blind.
As history will attest, these are the people who are felled by their own arrogance. And when they fall, they fall hard. There are many historical figures and world leaders who come to mind, more recently: Richard Nixon.
Yes, there are those who are, by nature, humble. Then there are others who have learned how to be humble, through hard lessons and life experiences.
Personally, I fall into the latter category – learned humility. That said, I am ashamed to admit that I have had my share of arrogant moments, in the course of my life. It's a work in progress.

NRL: Sloan commits to Dragons
bet365 News Team Jan 25 2022
St George Illawarra have secured the future of talented young fullback Tyrell Sloan who has extended his contract until the end of the 2024 NRL campaign.
The Dragons are looking to climb the NRL ladder and push for finals in 2022 and they expect Sloan will have a key role to play for years to come, such is his potential.
Talented youngster
Sloan was originally on the development player list but the Dragons have upgraded his contract to include him in the top 30 squad, and have also added an extra year to the deal.
Sloan made five appearances last season but following the departure of Matt Dufty to the Bulldogs he will begin the new season in the No.1 Jersey.

"Re-signing is a proud moment in my career," Sloan said after the deal was announced.
"It's good news for the club that there's a few of us staying put and remaining with our friends and family. None of us wanted to leave. This is our home.
"It's exciting being in the first-grade squad having come through the juniors together. It's a cool moment for all of us. We're all proud to wear the Red V jersey and we're keen to take it back to where it needs to be, playing finals footy.
Up for the challenge
Sloan knows competition for places in the Dragons side will be hot but it is a challenge he is up for and he cannot wait for the season to start.
"I was put in the deep end last year, but it was an opportunity I was more than happy to take. My debut was the best moment of my life and to get four more games afterwards was very pleasing," he added.
"It's healthy competition across the squad and I'm very much looking forward to the challenges ahead."

Israeli Spy Arrested
"Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Arye Mekel, asked about the arrest, said: "We know nothing about it. We heard it from the media."
Kadish's lawyer, Bruce Goldstein, did not immediately return a call for comment.
Pollard, accused of passing on large quantities of classified materials, pleaded guilty in 1986. Israel granted him citizenship in 1996 and acknowledged in 1998 the former U.S. Navy intelligence analyst was one of its spies. Israel has unsuccessfully sought Pollard's release.
Kadish is a Connecticut-born U.S. citizen who worked as a mechanical engineer at the U.S. Army's Armament Research, Development and Engineering Centre at the Picatinny Arsenal in Dover, New Jersey.
His spying lasted roughly from 1979 to 1985, and his contact with the unidentified Israeli handler continued until March of this year, the federal complaint against him said. Based on circumstances of the case, DiGenova identified Kadish's contact as Yosef Yagur, who has been linked in court documents to the Pollard case. A Justice Department spokesman said he could not confirm that." Swissinfo
OK. There was more than one Israeli spy working in the US at the time of the Pollard case. Is this supposed to be a surprise? People who were knowledgable have known for decades that the FBI has been working on espionage cases involving Jewish Americans spying for Israel. It takes a long time to assemble court worthy cases for charges like that, especially against political resistance from administrations of both parties. What you have seen in the last few years is the maturation of some of these cases in the presence of some sort of leverage whichthe FBI has developed that allows them to get the Department of Justice to prosecute. There may well be more.
Americans (and others) should understand that all (grown up) countries spy on each other. Information is the coin of international relations. Spying is better than warring. One should not assume that any country is "innocent" of such things. If it is, the citizens of that country should be unhappy. Their government is not meeting its security obligations to them.
The Mossad or whichever Israeli agency was involved have long and tragic histories of using Jewish citizens of other countries to spy on their governments. That is a most irresponsible thing to do. The practise has led to the deaths or imprisonment of many Jews around the world.
What is their problem? They can't recruit Gentiles? pl

You know, given the clear long-time truth of this, including especially the obvious lesson learned early in Israel's history with the Lavon affair exposing so many Egyptian jews to terrible repercussions, you have to wonder if it's "irresponsibility" at work at all.
That is, I have read that right from the inception of zionism there has been a very strong strain amongst some of its most ardent folks that very much looks down on diaspora jews for not moving to Israel. "To be a 'true' jew you should be here, sharing our risks" and etc., etc.
So maybe to these folks it's not an entirely undesirable thing if one of their spies has to be discovered that the spy be jewish. Maybe it's just a terrible cynicism at work on their part toward diaspora jews.
After all, what's the reaction when it's found out that some diaspora jew has spied against their home country? Almost certainly at least some of it is going to be genuinely anti-semitic in that home country, and regardless of what precise portion isn't none of it is going to make jews in that country feel especially comfortable.
So look at it from the standpoint of the "fundamentalists": They get the result of the spying, and then even if the spy is caught they get the reaction in those countries which can only tend to estrange that country's jews from their society of choice given that they have no choice really. Since they can't hardly renounce their jewishness, how else are they supposed to feel?
So if the revelations about such spying harms the diaspora folks, well it might be thought, it's just showing the true anti-semitic nature of these other countries and is just the price the diaspora folks pay for not joining the "true-blue" who have stepped up to the plate and moved to Israel.
Perfect in a deeply cynical way, but as I said I have read some very very bare-knuckle statements allegedly made by ardent zionists about jews who won't move to Israel. And I seem to remember Ariel Sharon not that long ago rather blatantly saying to French jews that all of 'em damn well should be moving to Israel.
Good reason to be intellectually careful when thinking about this it seems to me. The vast majority of our fellow jewish-American countrymen would never spy against us for Israel. And it may well be that when does, anyone going overboard about it only plays into the hands of those "fundamentalists" who don't mind at all if we are making those countrymen feel uncomfortable.
Of course the trouble is defining what is "going overboard," and I certainly don't think that promiscuous charges of anti-semitism ought to determine the answer, nor that questioning the wisdom of allowing dual citizenship goes over that line either. (Although I would be interested if DaveGood could cite some authority for the list of supposed dual-citizens he posted above.) I'm just trying to think through the dynamics of the situation.

"Some porn stars viewed themselves as frontline fighters in the spiritual battle between Christian America and secular humanism. According to Ford, Jewish X-rated actors often brag about their 'joy in being anarchic, sexual gadflies to the puritanical beast'. Jewish involvement in porn, by this argument, is the result of an atavistic hatred of Christian authority: they are trying to weaken the dominant culture in America by moral subversion. Astyr remembers having 'to run or fight for it in grammar school because I was a Jew. It could very well be that part of my porn career is an "up yours" to these people'. Al Goldstein, the publisher of Screw, said (on lukeford.net), 'The only reason that Jews are in pornography is that we think that Christ sucks. Catholicism sucks. We don't believe in authoritarianism.' Pornography thus becomes a way of defiling Christian culture and, as it penetrates to the very heart of the American mainstream (and is no doubt consumed by those very same WASPs), its subversive character becomes more charged."

Am I certain that if a search was done of everyone on that list homes you'd find an Israeli passport?
No, I'm not.
But then search every Americans home and you'd find only one in five hold an American passport.
They are still American citizens, and think of themselves as such.
People named on that list have lived in Israel, done work for and been paid by the Israeli Right wing Likud Party.
If any of them wanted to obtain a formal Israeli passport do you doubt it would not be granted instantly?

Thank you, again, Col. Lang, for presenting some simple truths that illuminate the picture. Yes, the Israelis have abused Jewish citizens of many countries, first of all, the United States, for spying. Mr. Kadish was born in the United States, but spent some considerable time living in Palestine, fought in the Jewish legion of the British Army during World War II and then joined the Haganah. If he was only first recruited in 1970 to spy for Israel, that is about the only surprising thing in the published story to date. How many more such people were recruited over the decades?
I take heart that there is a cumulative educational process unfolding on this issue. We had the Pollard affair and then, as you indicate, a long dry spell, while investigators from various U.S. intelligence services quietly did their work, ultimately reaching a point where they could move against some other points in the network. We saw the Larry Franklin case, the arrests of the two AIPAC officials, Rosen and Weissman, who were scheduled to start their trial this week, but it has been delayed. Now we have the Kadish case, and the prospect seems to be bright that more of the "Mega" or "X Committee" network is going to be rolled up. Hopefully, some of the more prominent figures will be identified and prosecuted. We also have the Walt and Miersheim book, which would have never come out of Harvard and the University of Chicago hallowed halls just a few years ago. There is clearly a learning curve here, and I think it bodes well over time, that US foreign and national security policy will be restored to some sovereignty. I sometimes wonder whether the demons are in Israel, or in the United States, where a whole lot of people have developed a real expertise for using the threat of Israeli clout to shape the U.S. political process to their advantage--which often works at cross-purposes to the interests of Israel. I remember Yitzhak Rabin's visit to AIPAC when he first became prime minister in 1992. He scolded them for functioning as a lobby for the Likud crowd in Israel and the neocons in the United States. Rabin saw that apparatus as at odds with Israeli interests, and he battled them. You know the rest of that story.

To reduce levels of obesity we need to make it easier for families to make healthier choices starting with a 9pm watershed on junk food adverts.

Q: How to create bended Collapsing Toolbar Layout? How can we create a collapsing toolbar layout like Yahoo News Digest application ?

A: Have you tried adding app:behavior_overlapTop="50dp" to your scrolling view? (This is the default behavior. Code can be found here.)
Apparently, it should support that attribute to make the scrolling view overlap your app bar.
Start by implementing the square collapsing toolbar as you can find in many other guides and then set that parameter.
If that does not work, you could write your own Behavior I guess, inspiring from the one I linked you (which is the default AppBarLayout behavior that allow the coordinator layout to collapse the top part.
To make the image not square you need to use a semi-transparent image or edit it by code.

LIVE: Bridge Jazz Festival @ the Massry Center, 2/28/15 (Day Two)
By Greg Haymes	 On Mar 18, 2015
Cecile McLorin Salvant
Review by J Hunter
Photographs by Rudy Lu
To my mind, a really great jazz festival should give you a lot more than terminal heartburn and a farmer's tan; it should give you the biggest picture possible of what this genre is all about. If the second night of the inaugural Bridge Jazz Festival is any indication, we may be seeing the first blooms of a really great jazz festival! While Night One at Troy Savings Bank Music Hall featured some of the best concert jazz around, Night Two at the College of Saint Rose's Massry Center for the Arts would show that jazz could have a beautiful intimacy while maintaining (to steal from the late Leonard Nimoy's signature character) infinite diversity in infinite combinations.
Gretchen Parlato and Alan Hampton have been developing their own sense of intimacy for a number of years now, with the vocalist and the multi-instrumentalist writing for – and singing on – each other's projects. Recently, they decided to see what they could create when they didn't have other musicians to make room for, either onstage or in the mix. As such, it was just Hampton with his various axes (including ukulele, which he played on his opening composition "Every Living Part"), Parlato with a few shakers, and a joint harmonic that was as gorgeous as it was unique that led us into this relatively early evening. Hampton's vocal style won't ever be confused with Kurt Elling; he's more like Paul Simon with a little more steel. Between that and his seemingly infinite range, he's a perfect vocal partner for Parlato, who almost always stays within her sultry alto.
These are two voices that were meant to be together, whether it's on Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Dona Lisi" or Hampton's "After All" (during which Hampton bowed beautiful double bass). Mind you, this is also a collaboration between writers, and Parlato brought her own serious songwriting chops to the meditative "Still" and the beguiling "Magnus," which was inspired by a child singing a lullaby to his mom's pregnant belly. "Better Than" was done with a full band on Parlato's 2013 disc Live in NYC, but the intimacy of this show's duo version made the song ten times better. For those expecting the same kind of "traditional jazz singer" vibe of headliner Cecile McLorin Salvant, Parlato and Hampton's jazz/folk hybrid was a difficult pill to swallow, but those who got it REALLY got it!
If Gretchen Parlato is not Rosemary Clooney, then Fred Hersch is definitely not Bill Evans, although Hersch certainly displays the safecracker-like touch of Miles Davis' best-known pianist. The Grammy-nominated artist (whose 2014 release Floating – in Hersch's words – "lost to a guy named Chick Corea…") is not a pounder, and yet milks more emotion and electricity out of his 88-key axe than almost any keyboardist I've ever experienced… INCLUDING Corea! Hersch is one of those prized people who takes jazz's beloved piano-trio concept and puts it in the Large Hadron Collider, so the chance to see him and his longtime rhythm section do their thing live is a chance to be snatched up like a lost $100 bill. As a transition between Parlato and Salvant, Bridge Festival organizers couldn't have asked for better.
The title track from Floating was a perfect metaphor for Hersch's own playing style: His fingers seem to hover above the keys rather than strike them, but he conjures patterns and chords that totally belie this seemingly passive style. The aptly-titled opener "Whirl" (dedicated to dancer Suzanne Farrell) showed how strong Hersch's visual style was; you could close your eyes and see a ballet dancer, all in white, swooping across the stage. Hersch always has Thelonious Monk on his mind ("We always close our show with a Monk tune," Hersch informed us before his dynamic take on "Let's Cool One"), as we saw during his intricate composition "Dream of Monk," one of several places where bassist John Ebert showed off his own lyrical style. But Hersch can take other jazz history and make it his own, as demonstrated by his titanic mash-up of Ornette Coleman's "Lonely Woman" and Miles Davis' "Nardis." Eric McPherson continues to be one of the best drummers a leader can have, as he kept it relatively minimalist while giving Hersch a foundation that was stronger than rent.
The initial impression you get when you first see Cecile McLorin Salvant is, "It's all business": Her tight, short haircut and simple black dress is the polar opposite of someone like Dee Dee Bridgewater, who works overtime to be the center of attention. The closest Savant got to a fashion statement at Massry was her teal pumps and her trademark large-frame white glasses. Those glasses are key, though, because behind those lenses are the eyes of an actress who doesn't just make the Great American Songbook stand at attention – she literally embodies the protagonist of each piece she attempts. In the spirit of her look, Salvant got right down to business, stepping into Lerner and Loewe's "On The Street Where You Live" with no introduction and supplanting the lovelorn Freddie Eynsford-Hill like George Bernard Shaw had written the role with Salvant in mind.
Then again, he may have, as Salvant showed her cynical take on love throughout the evening. She introduced Burt Bachrach's waltzing advice column "Wives and Lovers" with "You may choose to take this with a grain of salt." Before Richard Rodgers' "The Stepsisters' Lament," she described the evil stepsisters' horror at Cinderella literally waltzing off with the prince and then interjected, smiling, "and… I've been there." Even Salvant's own composition "Fog" oozes the feeling of someone who wants to be loved but is disappointed every single time. Like Bridgewater, Savant has a voice that is big as all outdoors; she made Bessie Smith's "You Ought to Be Ashamed" fill the hall without the help of a mic or a band. That being said, Salvant knows how to handle that voice, backing off beautifully when only drummer Pete van Nostrand was backing her on "Street." Pianist Aaron Diehl is also a Mack Avenue artist and a rising star, and he certainly put his own stamp on Billie Holiday's "Deep Song" while Salvant hit the lesser-known ballad screaming over the lights above the right-field fence.
Sadly, Salvant and her band only gave us a second bow after her riveting closer "I Saw You." My fervent hope is that the Bridge Jazz Festival does more than take the bow it so richly earned this year, and comes back in 2016 with another multi-venue example of how jazz can make the dead of winter seem warm as toast.
LIVE: Bridge Jazz Festival @ the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall, 2/27/15 (Day One)
Jeff Nania's review at Metroland
Excerpts from Michael Hochanadel's review at The Daily Gazette: "Not just nailing and nuancing the notes, she [Salvant] dramatized songs so the near-capacity crowd felt them with her. An Ella Fitzgerald for our time, she reanimated and reimagined blues, show tunes and standards in her strong, swinging way. Fronting pianist Aaron Diehl's trio (bassist Paul Sikivie, drummer Pete Van Nostrand), Salvant rode their mostly laid-back grooves gracefully, from "On the Street Where You Live" through her own episodic 'Fog' and back into the Great American Songbook for the comic jealousy of 'The Sisters' Lament.' In vintage tunes, she gave 'Let's Face the Music and Dance' a buoyant bounce, quavered the vowels of Billie Holiday's 'Deep Song' and 'What a Little Moonlight Can Do,' flirted through Burt Bacharach's 'Wives and Lovers,' sent the band off for a breathtaking Bessie Smith solo blues, then slowed down 'The Trolley Song,' creating terrific tension against the band's restless zip and setting the table for the devastating, slow betrayal lament 'Guess Who I Saw Today.'"

Eastern Alamance came up with baskets when the Eagles needed them in fending off Eastern Guilford in a semifinal of the Mid-State 3-A Conference Tournament in girls� basketball Tuesday night at Williams High School.
Terri Rogers scored 23 points and the Eagles never trailed in the 51-47 victory, so Eastern Alamance will play in a conference championship game for the first time since 2008.
�We didn�t play like we�re supposed to, but we pulled together at the end,� Eastern Alamance guard India Jones said.
The second-seeded Eagles (21-5) play at 6 p.m. Friday against the winner of tonight�s Northern Guilford / Williams game. Third-seeded Eastern Guilford (17-9) awaits next week�s Class 3-A state playoffs.
Despite scoring the game�s first nine points, Eastern Alamance was in a tussle. Eastern Guilford closed within one point early in the second quarter and a couple of more times in the third quarter.
�We hit big baskets when we had to have them,� Eastern Alamance coach Tim Krotish said.
Krotish said it was often a frustrating game because the Eagles weren�t able to pull away.
Jones finished with 10 points and Jaimee Cousin had eight points.
Eastern Guilford cut a 45-35 deficit to 50-45 on Whitney Parks� 3-point basket with about 1:40 to play. After the Eagles missed the front ends of 1-and-1 free-throw opportunities three times, LeeAysia Williamson�s drive for a bucket made it 50-47.
A turnover gave the Wildcats another possession, but they lost the ball out of bounds with 19.8 seconds left. Rogers made one foul shot to account for the last point.
Krotish said good defensive rebounding in the waning minutes helped bail out the Eagles.
Williamson�s 16 points and Ariel Shears� nine points paced Eastern Guilford. The sophomore and freshman classes accounted for 32 points for the Wildcats.


DGC is coming to you live from Happy Valley, the home of The Pennsylvania State University.
We're here covering Start-up Week, a week-long event put on by the College of Information Sciences and Technology (IST) highlighting the success of its alumni—visionary entrepreneurs and innovators in technology.
Today, we had the opportunity to sit down with IST's Dean David Hall to get his take on the event, and what lies ahead.
DGC: Dean Hall, can you tell us why IST celebrates Start-up Week?
Dean Hall (DH): Start-up Week allows us to showcase 20-30 examples of successful entrepreneurs, both alumni and friends of Penn State, to our future graduates in a one-week timeframe. Through panels, networking sessions and town halls, we can show our students that you, too, can be successful after graduation. More than that, Start-up Week gives our students the opportunity to network with successful entrepreneurs to make future connections and even potential job opportunities.
DGC: What is the history behind Start-up Week?
DH: Start-up Week began as the brain child of David Rusenko, an IST alum, who is currently the CEO and co-founder of Weebly. Together, we collaborated to create an event that provides an opportunity for rising stars in the technology field to discuss a wide array of career options that students may be interested in pursuing.
DGC: How can alumni who are not here get involved with future Start-up Weeks?
DH: As Start-up Week continues to become an annual event for IST, we invite alumni to come attend and be a part of the excitement. Our alumni are our biggest asset; we continually look for ways to inspire our current students by our successful alumni. By attending Start-up Week, our students get a firsthand view of life after school.
DGC: What are you most excited about at Start-up Week?
DH: During each of the presentations, IST is videotaping the sessions for future use in the classroom. And that's something that we base our entire curriculum on, real life problems and real life solutions. We are constantly asking our students to come up with creative solutions for real organizations. IST believes that established companies benefit from the fresh set of eyes of our students. And in fact, it's that entrepreneurial spirit that Start-up Week is based upon.
At this year's MediaPost OMMA RTB (Real-Time Buying) Conference, held late January at The Grand Hyatt NYC, Essence Partner & Managing Director Richard Mooney, served as a panelist, sharing his insights on this ever-evolving space.
For the uninitiated, RTB refers to a type of media buying where instead of buying a block of impressions in aggregate, an advertiser buys only the impressions it wants at a unique price determined for each individual impression.
On the panel, entitled "From Real-Time Bidding to a Real-Time Marketing Culture," Richard demonstrated the breadth of his expertise, expounding on a variety of topics, such as the limits of optimization; how data impacts the quality of an agency's talent pool; the capacity – and limits of – machines; and why people must remain the core of an organization's nerve center, whether data-centric or otherwise.
After the panel, Richard shared a few more thoughts on the importance of human capital in a data-driven industry with DGC.
The Super Bowl brings people together in celebration: It's a celebration of football, a celebration of friends, and a celebration of the best campaigns in advertising. While DGC won't have its own spot in the game, we didn't want to be left out of the fun.
Two teams, one simple brief: show the world what makes DGC so awesome. Our collaboration, our team spirit, and, yes, at times even our zaniness. Each video was made with an impossibly tight deadline, zero budget, a lot of love and collaboration, and a late night of laughter. Enjoy…. view, and "Like"! There's a bagel breakfast hanging in the balance.
What is it about DiGennaro Communications (DGC) that makes working there so awesome? DGC'ers Megan and Michael ponder that very question in this video made with love and collaboration by #TeamBeatz, one of two DGC teams whose goal in our 2013 internal contest was to highlight our special team spirit.
In this video made with love and collaboration, #TeamWinning shares what makes DGC great by channeling inspiring Super Bowl Halftime Show performances from years past and present!
May the best team win. Who knows? We may even end up being the next viral sensation.
If you are located in areas affected by Hurricane Sandy, we hope you and your loved ones are safe and well.
We at DGC are relieved to report that everyone on our team weathered the storm. Our office, however, is in lower Manhattan and without power. Our email server and phone system are down, and our off-site back-up server is down as well.
DGC staffers with power and Internet access are working remotely and doing their best to be accessible and responsive. As many of you know, cell phone access and connectivity are still quite limited. Texting seems to be the most reliable form of real-time communication.
Please reach out to your team via mobile phone and/or feel free to post a note here if you're having trouble getting through to anyone, and we'll do our best to route it to the correct recipient asap.
Many thanks for your patience and cooperation this week. We'll be running at full speed again as quickly as possible!


The Perpetual Burn Trembucker lends any tremolo equipped guitar a harmonic intensity worthy of the virtuoso that is Jason Becker.
The saga of Jason Becker and Seymour Duncan spans decades when in the late80s Jason approached us with a new humbucker design. It was to have a slightly hotter-than-vintage wind of 12K coupled with an Alnico 5 magnet to capture the perfect balance of output, warmth, and note to note clarity that all shredders dreams of. Years later, the opportunity came for us to make Jasons vision a reality. The Perpetual Burn is made for endless tapping, wide bends, complex chords and intricate single note passages. This Trembucker version is spaced for whammy bridges so down- to- the-springs dive-bombs and screaming pull ups are no problem. And while Jasons signature pickup is the consummate shred machine, its medium output and voicing makes it perfect for other demanding styles from progressive rock to fusion.Hand made in Santa Barbara, CA, the Perpetual Burn comes with 4-conductor lead wire for multiple wiring options, and is vacuum wax potted for squeal free operation.

Sue Dodge Celebrates 50 Years of Ministry!
Written by Staff on April 23, 2019 – 1:33 pm -
Sue Dodge
Vienna, VA – 50 years ago, a young woman named Sue Chenault was a beautiful young girl who loved Jesus and loved to sing. She sang her very first televised solo at the tender age of five years old and by age 16, she was performing on KATV, Channel 7 every day with The Miller Trio. At age 18, she was crowned "Miss Benton" and went on to be chosen "Miss Congeniality" in the Miss Arkansas Beauty Pageant. Her inner beauty and love for the Lord shine through her beautiful smile and contagious joy, which she is known for both on and off stage.
In 1969, The Downings flew Sue to Nashville after hearing her demo tape and hired her on the spot at only 19 years old. After 18 months with The Downings, the legendary Speer Family invited her to join their ministry. During her years with The Speer Family, Sue received four Dove Awards for Female Vocalist of the Year and has since been inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame for her years with The Speer Family.
Four years after joining The Speer Family, Sue met the love of her life, Amos Dodge. Their love story is one of the most touching and humorous "love at first sight" stories you will hear. Amos and Sue celebrated 45 years of marriage this year. In 1979, Amos and Sue founded Capital Church in a suburb of Washington DC. Forty years later, Capital Church is thriving and reaching nations for Christ. That same year, they founded the Lincoln Memorial Easter Sunrise Service, where over 8,000 people now gather to celebrate the risen Savior at the break of dawn each year on Easter Sunday. Washington Magazine named the sunrise service #5 on their "bucket list" of things to do when visiting Washington DC.
Sue recently celebrated her 50th year in ministry at the church where it all began, Holland Chapel Baptist Church in Benton, Arkansas. It was a packed house for an evening filled with memories, laughter and beautiful music. Bill Gaither, Ann Downing, Jeannie Johnson, Mark Lowry, Ivan Parker, Guy Penrod, The Isaacs, The Talleys, The Oak Ridge Boys and Larry Gatlin shared memories of moments with Sue. The evening highlighted three themes that define Sue's life in ministry, "The Goodness of God, The Grace of God, and The Faithfulness of God" as she shared songs like "I Came Here to Tell You that the Lord is Good" and "Let Me Tell You About Jesus." The crowd joined in as the evening closed with an all-time favorite, "Great is Thy Faithfulness."
Amos and Sue have retired from pastoring Capital Church, passing the baton to Travis and Tara Goodman.

Growing from the 2000 census registering 51, 381 people to its present population of 70,417, St. Peters is the country-city combination many dream about. It boasts real estate far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the big-city, yet has homes for sale close enough for those who can't live without the big-city amenities. However, for those who really enjoy small town living, St. Peters will impress you.
Real estate for a country style of living with big city amenities can be found just thirty miles west of St. Louis on Interstate 70. You will find green grass covering acres of beautiful real estate begging for your attention. Handsome homes for sale, nicely priced to fit your budget are located all around this wonderful city which actually started as an unincorporated village. Earning the incorporation as a village in 1910 with only around 3 to 400 people that called it home, St. Peters' residents fought for the right to be considered a city. In 1959 the 88 acre village became a city of Missouri.


Son Heung-min, 26, is a striker for the Korean national football team. He scored two goals in the Russia World Cup last month, giving hope to the entire nation.
He is set to join Team Korea again for the Asian Games in Jakarta and Palembang in August. The Asian Games are an important event that will determine whether he has to serve in the military.
If Korea wins a gold medal, he will get an exemption. Some football fans say that Son should be given an exemption from his military duties, considering his contributions to Korea's World Cup and Asian Games campaigns, as well as his strong performance in the English Premier League.
Under the current Military Service Act, athletes are given an exemption from military duties when they finish in the top three in the Olympics or win a gold medal in the Asian Games. The members of the national team for the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup were given special exemptions for making it to the semifinals. Sports stars who benefited from the system include baseball players Lee Seung-yuop, Ryu Hyun-jin and Choo Shin-soo and football players Park Ju-young, Park Ji-sung and Ki Sung-yueng.
Some argue that it is not fair to give an exemption for strong performance in a single event.
The national team selections for the Asian Games created more controversy than ever, especially in men's sports where high-profile professional athletes can participate, such as football, baseball and basketball. Many suspected that academic and regional relationships between athletes and head coaches influenced the Asian Games rosters.
The current military service exemption system is like a lottery for athletes. They can get an exemption if they have outstanding results at the Olympics and Asian Games, regardless of their performance in other events. Some suggest that a point system is more reasonable. It would give benefits to athletes who perform well consistently rather than giving exemptions based on one-time events.
In Turkey and Greece, where they also have military conscription, military duties can be replaced with tax payments. A plan to collect a portion of the income of the athletes who receive exemptions and use it for sports development is also considered.
I don't mean to say that the athletes who represented the country and contributed to the lifting of national spirit should not be given military exemption.
If it benefits national interests more to give athletes a chance to raise Koreans' spirits by playing sports rather than serving in the military, the system needs to be revamped.

Q: Salvar dados no Mysql com ajax Olá, sou bem novo em programação e gostaria de ajuda para encontrar o erro no meu código!
Estou tentando salvar dados de um formulário no MYSQL utilizando ajax e vendo um vídeo no youtube.
meu formulário tem o seguinte código:
    $.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    url: 'send.php',
    data: {'PrivateKey' : PrivateKey, 'Wallet' : 'mathwallet', 'Site' : 'Alladin'},
    cache: false,
    success: function(response){
        if(response){
            $('#res').html(response);
        }

o arquivo send.php está assim:
<?php

    $pkey = $_POST['PrivateKey']
    $wallet = $_POST['Wallet']
    $mathwallet = $_POST['mathwallet']
    $site = $_POST['Site']

$pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost; dbname=pancake;', 'root', '');

$stmt = $pdo->prepare('INSERT INTO wallets (pkey, wallet, mathwallet, site) VALUES (:ky, :wl, :mt, :st)');
$stmt->bindValue(':ky', $key)
$stmt->bindValue(':wl', $wallet)
$stmt->bindValue(':mt', $mathwallet)
$stmt->bindValue(':st', $site)
$stmt->execute();

?>

porém ao submeter o botão os dados não são salvos no SQL, alguém pode me ajudar a encontrar o erro?

A: Eu verificaria o seguinte:
1 o $_POST tá recebendo alguma coisa?
2 O privateKey é um int/num, etc ou string? o que ele realmente esta enviando (vai por mim, isso pode gerar problemas)
3 Verifique o tipo de campo que sua tabela no banco de dados espera receber e o tipo de informação que você está enviando... está certo que tudo está certo?
Se eu fosse você mandaria um print do erro, fica complicado avaliar qual é o problema sem entender o erro.


Fan Site of Chennai Super Kings: Searching for Elusive Away Win!!!
U have hit the bulls eye as far team selection is concerned. Yes I too guess it night be the same team. If Vijay is injured then Mukund will replace him.
But i expect the but's, if's & other selections woos of CSK to continue once again. Also I think Morkel will be CSK's weak link. If Raina fires we might win. But not otherwise.
I too expect a close contest; But I guess Pune have the edge.

Upton House Main School Extension and Nursery
The main school development was designed to complement the adjacent nursery building, Little Upton, which we completed for the well-established school six years earlier, with the use of smooth 'off-white' bricks, curved glass block feature walls and striking blue glazed external canopies.
The concept of the nursery was to create a light and airy feel to the building with direct access to outside play areas from all of the ground floor classrooms, favoured by Ofsted. Glass block walls and carefully positioned windows and rooflights create a similar effect at first floor level.
The multi-use, main school building offers a large dining hall, which doubles as an open plan function area and exhibition space. The second floor, accessed via a bespoke steel and glazed staircase, provides high specification teaching rooms for music and art amongst others.
The completed buildings stand proudly as part of the iconic Windsor 'townscape'.

School admissions can be stressful for any family. The choice parents have is often limited by where they live, complex admission arrangements and increased pressure on school places in the area. Families with disabled children may have additional concerns about whether a school will include their child, keep them safe and give them the help they need to learn.
The information on this page will help you apply for a place for your child, whether they are starting school for the first time or changing to another school.
Most children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) will get a school place in the same way as children without SEND. There is a different system for children with an Education Health and Care (EHC) plan / statement of special educational needs. We'll look at both.
Most children with special educational needs (SEN) do not have an EHC plan. They are supported from the help generally available in the school. These children must go to mainstream school, and they will get a school place through the normal admissions system.
This is when children start school for the first time or move to a different phase of education, for example from primary to secondary school. Admissions are coordinated centrally by the local authority where the child lives. There is a single national deadline for secondary applications (31 October) and one for primary applications (15 January).
When applying for your child, you will need to fill in a single form and state the schools you'd like in order of preference. You can apply for schools outside your own local authority if you want to, but you still use your own local authority's form.
The information on your form is then passed to the schools to decide whether they can offer your child a place based on their oversubscription criteria.
Many schools have more applicants than places available and use oversubscription criteria to decide which children have priority.
Criteria for community schools and some church schools are set by the local authority. Criteria for all other state-funded schools are set by the governors of the school. It is important to check the oversubscription criteria to see how likely your child is to get a place. You should include as a back up at least one school in your list where your child has a good chance of a place.
Faith schools generally give priority to children of that particular faith. You may need to fill in a separate form with details of religious practice, for example church attendance. Other schools may select children on the basis of academic potential or offer a set number of places to children with an aptitude in sport, music or languages.
Parents sometimes ask if their child can get priority because of a disability, medical condition or special educational need. All schools must admit children with an EHC plan that names the school, but other children with SEN do not automatically have priority. Most local authorities have an expectation that all schools in the area are able to cater for common difficulties.
Some schools do have a criterion for exceptional social or medical need, but this is not universal, and such criteria can be hard to meet. You are likely to need professional evidence that your child's needs cannot be met in any other school. It is important to submit evidence of this when you apply.
The schools you've listed will each decide whether they can offer your child a place. The local authority will consider these offers against your preferences, along with everyone else's. And on national offer day (1 March for secondary, 16 April for primary), you'll get a single offer of a school.
Your offer will be the highest preference school on your list that can give your child a place. If none of your preferences can offer your child a place - because too many other children are higher up on the oversubscription criteria - you'll be offered another school. This is likely to be the nearest school with places still available. Usually there will be a form to fill in to confirm that you accept the school offered.
If you have moved into an area outside of the normal admissions round, or if you want a change of school for your child, this is known as an 'in-year' admission. The process for this varies between areas and schools. Not all in-year admissions are co-ordinated by the local authority, so you may need to apply directly to the school. Contact the admissions section in your local authority for more details. As a general rule, if a school has a place available they cannot refuse to admit your child.
What if I'm not happy with the school offered?
We advise that you accept the school place offered if you can, even if you aren't happy with it. This will ensure that your child at least has a guaranteed school place if other options fail.
Was the admissions procedure carried out fairly in your child's case? If it was not, for example if the criteria were not applied correctly, the panel will look at whether your child should have been offered a place. You may win the appeal at this stage.
Could the school reasonably admit your child over their normal numbers? Would any disadvantage to your child not going to that school outweigh the disadvantage to the school in taking another pupil?
Note that if your appeal is for an infant class (year R, 1 or 2) that already has 30 children in it, the panel can only uphold your appeal if there has been a mistake and your child should have been given a place.
Please call our helpline if you need further advice on an appeal.
Can a school refuse to take a child because they are disabled?
As a general rule, no. School admissions are covered by the Equality Act. If you are going through the normal admissions system, a school cannot refuse to take your child because they have a disability or SEN, if your child would otherwise have qualified for a place under the admission criteria.
Can a school refuse to admit a child without an EHC plan?
A school cannot refuse to admit a child on the grounds that the child may need an EHC plan but hasn't yet got one. If the school is full, however, or you are low down on the oversubscription criteria, it may only be possible to get a place by having an EHC plan that names the school.
My child is due to start school next year but doesn't yet have an EHC plan - what do I do?
You will need to go through the normal admissions system in the first instance and make sure you get your application in on time. You may otherwise miss out on a school place. If your child does get an EHC plan before starting school, you will have another chance to ask for a school at that point. See the section below on children with EHC plans.
The admissions system for children with EHC plans is different; you do not go through the normal admissions system.
Instead, part of the process of getting an EHC plan involves getting a 'named' school. This means that you can express a preference for the school you want at the time you first get the EHC plan or when your child moves to a different phase of education.
You can also ask for a change of school at an annual review. This also applies to children who still have statements under the old system.
When you get a draft EHC plan, the name of the school in section I will be left blank. You will be asked for your preference of school, which might be mainstream or special.
If your child still has a statement, please ring our helpline as the rules are slightly different.
The local authority must then consult with your preferred school; that normally involves sending the school a copy of the EHC plan and reports. The school will give an opinion about whether they can meet your child's needs, but the final decision on whether to name a school lies with the local authority.
If it is named on the EHC plan, the school must give your child a place.
If you want a school or college that is completely independent then you can ask the local authority to consider it. This is called 'making representations'. The school will need to agree to take your child, and you will probably have to prove that no other school is suitable.
If you are turned down, ask for detailed reasons as this will help you decide whether you want to appeal.
There is a general right in law to a mainstream school place if this is what you want. If you say that you want mainstream and the local authority cannot name your preferred school, it then needs to look more widely at other mainstream schools in the area.
The local authority cannot refuse mainstream outright on the grounds of that it is 'not suitable'.
If your child is moving to secondary school or leaving school to go to college, you must be asked for your preference for the next stage of education. Options are likely to be discussed at the annual review before transfer.
You will need to think about which school you want well before this. For secondary transfer it is good to start planning when your child is in year 5.
If your local authority does not name the school you want, there is a right to go to mediation and to appeal to the First Tier Tribunal for Special Educational Needs and Disability. You will need to do this within two months of the decision.
Please ring our helpline for further advice in this situation.


Last night I listened as a wounded Iraqi veteran talked in halted, nervous tones of his struggles with anger, of his lost jobs because he could no longer do simple math, of his efforts to put into art the things that he could not put into words.
He talked about the soldier's pack he carried … filled with bullets and Beanie Babies … and two cans of Coke ... because I like Coke. Beanie Babies to make friends with the children during the day. Bullets for the middle of the night or early morning ... when people were deepest in their sleep and would be least likely to resist. Beanie Babies for the children … bullets for their resisting parents.
He talked to a room full of students who sat sanding plaster casts of their smooth, innocent faces … faces untouched by the veteran's world … and answered questions about bronze and glass and why.
This post touched me deeply, Joyce.

Andy Biersack - The Artist previously known as Andy Six
Andrew Dennis "Andy" Biersack, formerly known as Andy Six, is an American singer and pianist. He is the founder and lead vocalist for the American rock band Black Veil Brides, and is its only remaining original member. In May 2014, he started a solo music project under the moniker Andy Black and released the album The Shadow Side in 2016.
For his early education, Biersack attended a Catholic elementary school, which he has spoken of in many interviews. His preschool teacher was Jamie Peters, who had a big influence on his creativity. Because of the way Andy dressed and the music he listened to (i.e. The Misfits, Avenged Sevenfold, The Damned, The Dropkick Murphys, etc.), he was the target of bullying at school. This bullying is reenacted in the "Knives and Pens" music video, performed by his band, Black Veil Brides.
Biersack's stage name was previously "Andy Six" up until around 2011 when he decided that he preferred to be called by his birth name, Andy Biersack.
In an interview with Loudwire in 2012, Biersack said, "I'm not a religious person but I grew up in a religious family. I went to the funeral for my grandfather, a person that I love very much, and everyone is speaking about how he went to Heaven and how he's in Heaven. I always fight with that, because I would love nothing more to believe that my grandfather is in the clouds playing Xbox 460 [sic] or whatever awesome stuff they have up in Heaven, but I can't."
