Xûr is in town offering new gear. What's worth your hard-earned Strange Coins?
New stat rolls on Exotic upgrades!
Test your luck with an Exotic Helm Engram!
This weapon exemplifies everything good about rocket launchers, and seeks its targets aggressively, which is great when firing from longer ranges or moving targets.
It recently got a buff, now having a magazine size of 3 instead of 2, though its tooltip still says 2.
We have an entire review of this weapon which you can read here.
Truth is going to serve you very well in the Crucible, as you're basically guaranteed to never miss. If you're in need of a Void-based Rocket Launcher it's definitely a fine choice, but if not, save up for next weekend.
Truth takes all of the good features of a rocket launcher (2 shots, tracking rounds, explosions on proximity, large blast radius, good velocity and reload) and puts them into one package.
Is it worth using? Absolutely. It's got excellent stats, with the best stability, blast radius, and reload speed of any rocket launcher.
But if you're short on Strange Coin, saving for a primary/special weapon that you'll use more often, might be a better choice. Furthermore, a rocket launcher like Gjallarhorn would be better for the raid.
Grenades and Horseshoes – Rockets will detonate early based on proximity to target.
Prototype Trueseeker – Rounds will seek their targets aggressively.
Ruin Wings are the new Dark Below Titan gauntlets, that are useful for either subclass.
Special Weapon Loader – Increases the reload speed of all Special Weapons.
Impact Induction – Causing damage with a melee reduces your grenade cooldown.
Seeds of Ruin– Heavy ammo drops more often, and contains more ammo in each drop.
These gauntlets are going to be a great choice for any Titan. As with each of the Exotics Xûr is selling, these will help you to reach the required Light rating for level 31/32.
The perks on these gauntlets are extremely useful as well, and work well together.
99/109 Strength + Impact Reduction are going to allow liberal use of your grenades. Also, the increased reload speed for Specials will be great for those who enjoy using shotguns/fusion rifles in the crucible.
We recommend buying these, but also consider upgrading The Armamentarium if you have it.
Warlocks currently have 3 Exotic chest options, and Voidfang Vestments is great for Voidwalkers who PvP a lot.
Hand Cannon Ammo – Increases the amount of Hand Cannon ammunition you can carry.
Special Weapon Ammo – Increases the amount of Special Weapon ammunition you can carry.
Improved Axion Bolt – Your Axion Bolt grenade spawns an additional seeker. Respawn with full grenade energy.
You probably already have this… it's been sold so many times at this point, it's getting beyond ridiculous.
The Improved Axion Bolt perk will buff your grenades, which means more consistent kills. Add in the fact that you now spawn with grenade energy, and you turn into a grenade throwing nightmare for your enemies.
This chest would work for the Sunsinger as well, because with the Gift of the Sun talent, it will spawn you with 2 grenades.
It's got 130/139 Strength, which is much is higher than what it's been in the past.
This is a good option if you're a Voidwalker, especially if you use hand cannons, considering that Skull of Dire Ahamkara is basically the only other Voidwalker-specific armor piece right now.
It's going to be most useful in PvP, not so much in PvE. Along with spawning with full grenade energy, the Strength stat will reduce your melee cooldown time, making it an all around great choice.
Buy a couple Exotic Engrams, and maybe you'll get the new Obsidian Mind helm!
The Achlyophage Symbiote is a Gunslinger-specific helm, along with the new ATS/8 ARACHNID. It's main feature is an extra shot for your Golden Gun, upped from 3 to 4.
Fastball – Increases grenade throw distance.
Ashes to Asset – Replenish Super energy when you kill an enemy with a grenade.
Last Man Standing – Golden Gun gains one additional shot per use.
Yes, although it certainly depends on how much you value the Golden Gun.
An extra shot means an extra kill and Orbs of Light. It takes two shots to destroy a Defender's shield, so the two remaining shots could vaporize multiple exposed Guardians.
This week it's got a 94/101 Discipline stat roll, allowing you to use your grenades more often.
If you're a Gunslinger without Exotic armor, this is definitely a good one to grab. However, seeing as you could also buy an Exotic Engram, maybe try your luck for the new ATS/8 ARACHNID?
Wondering if the PS timed exclusives will get a chance to be upgraded? The answer is yes!
Using the old PS date/time glitch, which apparently is buggy now, we were able to capture one of the inventories he'll have.
Timed PS exclusives confirmed to be upgrade possibilities!
As you can see, he's offering the Hawkmoon to be upgraded.
Feel free to try this glitch yourself to see if it works for you, and let us know any more inventory possibilities you find out!


London, the week before Christmas, 2007. Seven days to track the lives of seven characters: a hedge fund manager (John Veals, character in below excerpt) trying to bring off the biggest trade of his career; a professional footballer recently arrived from Poland; a young lawyer with little work and too much time to speculate; a student who has been led astray by Islamist theory; a hack book-reviewer; a schoolboy hooked on skunk and reality TV; and a Tube train driver whose Circle Line train joins these and countless other lives together in a daily loop.
So for a time in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Vanessa Whiteway had been on the edge of the financial world and had seen how it transformed itself.
The essential change seemed to her quite simple: bankers had detached their activities from the real world. Instead of being a `service' industry - helping companies who had a function in the life of their society — banking became a closed system. Profit was no longer related to growth or increase, but became self-sustaining; and in this semi-virtual world, the amount of money to be made by financiers also became unhitched* from normal logic.
It followed, Vanessa thought, that the people who could flourish here must themselves be, in some profound and personal way, detached*. They could have no qualms* about the effects of what they did; no cares for the collateral impact although, to do them justice, they did take precautions to minimise the possibility of any contact with reality; indeed the joy of the new products was exactly their magical self-sufficiency*, the way they appeared to eliminate the risk of any final reckoning*. However, it remained necessary for these people to have — or to develop very quickly — a very limited sense of 'the other'; a kind of functional autism was the ideal state of mind.
And in addition to this, there must be a passionate faith: they had to believe that theirs was the true system and that earlier beliefs had been heretical*. Where there were doubts, they had to be excised; where there were qualifications, they needed to be cauterised. A breed of fanatic was born, and Vanessa saw them with her own blue eyes. She met them at off-site bonding sessions* in Florida, at charity dinners and — dog-tired and wind-burned at the end of golfing weekends in Scotland. Although she wasn't there for the lectures or the golf or the drinking, and glimpsed them only at the lobby or the airport, she could tell that these loners had reinforced one another's beliefs over the three days away; that by the end of their exhausting rituals they were reinvigorated in their faith convinced they needed nothing and nobody beyond their own fantastic circuitry*.
What intrigued Vanessa about John was how easily he had fitted into the required psychological profile. To hear him talk of his North London childhood, you would have foreseen nothing so extraordinary; his school performance was unremarkable and his family had neither 'spoiled' nor bullied him. There were no 'formative' incidents* that made him set his face against the world, no early loss or trauma for which he needed to compensate.
In fact, when she thought about John, Vanessa found the whole toolbox of her undergraduate psychology classes to be useless. There was no 'compensation', no subliminal* desires or re-enactments*. What there was, in her view, was a simple and unmotivated collision of two things: the way these new financiers were by nature, and the way the world, for the first time ever, had indulged* them.
Some people thought the crux of it was the invention of some credit derivative* products by a few people at J. P. Morgan; but in fact, in Vanessa's mind, the key was that society as a whole in London and New York had so lost its bearings* that it was prepared to believe, with these analysts, that cause and effect could be uncoupled. To her, this social change, the result of decades of assault on long-accepted norms, was far more interesting than, the quasi-autistic intellects of the people, like John, who worked in the new finance.
Very occasionally, these individuals were compelled to interact with society — most notably when it looked as though politicians might regulate them; then for. a moment they were required to leave their cloister and dirty their hands in the world. The largest cheque that John Veals had ever written was to a political lobbying firm in Washington when he, and the bank for whom he was then working, feared that credit derivatives might be the subject of government regulation. They had contributed $3 million to the fees of the key lobbyist on Capitol Hill.
One other moment came to Vanessa's mind, one other instance when her husband had collided with the old world of obligation and debt that he had outgrown. It came when she accompanied him to a function addressed, quite recently, by the British Prime Minister. What had it been A Lord Mayor's dinner? The opening of a bank's offices in Canary Wharf? She could no longer remember. What she could recall clearly was the way the Prime Minister lowered his voice with the stagey vibrato* that politicians used to convey 'sincerity'* and, congratulating the assembled financiers, had said words to the effect that: `What you have done for the City of London, we now intend to do for the entire British economy.' She looked at John and thought he was going to faint. All colour had left his face and he was holding hard to the edge of the table. She put her hand on his. At first, she thought he was appalled at the idea that his own circle's understanding of the world was about to be stolen and made public by a man who was not really of their faith.. Later, she understood that the loss of blood was, paradoxically, his way of blushing: of betraying shame.
She had never seen a trace of it again of shame, or doubt, or the embarrassment of reconnection with the world; it was all over in that moment.
And when little Sophie Topping asked her if she still 'loved' her husband, it was not a question that Vanessa felt she could answer. How could you `love' such a man? `What makes him rick?' 'What does he enjoy?' `When you're alone, what does he ... ?' None of these were questions to which Vanessa could give an answer, because her husband had long ago migrated to a place where such matters had no meaning.
* credit derivative - Stated in plain language, a credit derivative is a wager, and the reference entity is the thing being wagered on. Similar to placing a bet at the racetrack, where the person placing the bet does not own the horse or the track or have anything else to do with the race, the person buying the credit derivative doesn't necessarily own the bond (the reference entity) that is the object of the wager. He or she simply believes that there is a good chance that the bond or collateralized debt obligation (CDO) in question will default (go to zero value). Originally conceived as a kind of insurance policy for owners of bonds or CDO's, it evolved into a freestanding investment strategy. The cost might be as low as 1% per year. If the buyer of the derivative believes the underlying bond will go bust within a year (usually an extremely unlikely event) the buyer stands to reap a 100 fold profit. A small handful of investors anticipated the credit crunch of 2007/8 and made billions placing "bets" via this method.
1. Describe what Vanessa Whiteway noticed about the change in the financial world and its bankers.
2. Although Vanessa being a psychologist, she cannot explain her husband's attitude as to the job he does and to the real world. Why can't she?
3. Explain in your own words what credit derivative products are and what impact they had on the financial world and then on society as a whole.
4. Was John Veals shocked or pleased at what the Prime Minister said to teh financiers assembled in the bank office in Canary Wharf?
5. Why have people become angry at and suspicious of bankers since the financial cisis?

Q: microphone terminal determination Hello, I am trying to determine what the wires are for my splice microphone audio jack.
here is a picture of it split :

I did a continuity test to see which part of the jack terminal was connected to the two wires :

I am guessing the white wire is the signal wire ; thus, the bare copper wire is the gnd?
thanks for the help!!!

A: The Copper wire which is bare is the Ground wire,The signal wire will be covered to suppress influence of any noise or shorting. There is a chance that the signal wire has an extra insulation on itself[usually colored], so it is advised to heat or bring the metal wire-tip into candle flame and heat it[you can see the insulation burning,if any] before any hack or soldering being done.

Conductor's Widow Takes BNSF To Trial Over Lethal Train Collision
Posted by David Siegel on Apr 28, 2015 3:58:00 PM
Phoenix — A conductor's widow accused Berkshire Hathaway Inc.-owned freight rail giant BNSF Railway of being responsible for a train hitting and killing her husband while he performed maintenance work at night, according to arguments made in a wrongful death trial currently underway in Arizona state court.
Jurors began hearing arguments on April 21 in the wrongful death suit filed by Tina Wilcox on behalf of her husband Michael, who died in 2009. Wilcox's suit, brought under the Federal Employers' Liability Act, claims that BNSF stopped the train on which Wilcox was working in an unsafe location and failed to provide him with high-visibility reflective gear.
Wilcox was attempting to release hand brakes alongside a train that had stopped in Holbrook, Arizona for a crew change, when he was hit by an oncoming train. He died approximately two hours after being struck, and Tina Wilcox sued BNSF two years later in 2011.
In addition to allegations that BNSF positioned Wilcox's train in a dangerous location, the suit also accuses the company's dispatchers of failing to alert the crew of the oncoming train about the need to reduce speed, and claims that the oncoming train didn't provide necessary horn warnings.
"BNSF knew that an eastbound train was approaching the location where Mr. Wilcox was working on the adjoining mainline track, but neither directed the eastbound train to stop nor Mr. Wilcox's crew to stop work until said train had passed," Wilcox's complaint states.
During his opening statement, Wilcox's attorney Anthony S. Petru of the California-based firm Hildebrand McLeod & Nelson didn't name a specific amount of damages that he planned to ask for during the trial, but he suggested to the jury that Wilcox, who regained consciousness following the accident, suffered tremendously during the two hours from when he was struck until he died after being airlifted to a Flagstaff hospital.
During his opening statement on behalf of BNSF, Bradley Shwer of Thorpe Shwer PC told jurors that the company acted properly, and that Wilcox's own actions led to the accident.
Shwer told the jury the train that hit Wilcox was traveling at a reduced speed and would have been easily visible to an "attentive observer." He claimed witness testimony would show that Wilcox was speaking on his cellular phone just before the oncoming train struck him, and that Wilcox only needed to take a single step to have safely avoided a collision.
"BNSF did in fact provide Mr. Wilcox with a reasonably safe place to work," Shwer told the jury, according to a Courtroom View Network webcast of the proceedings. "Mr. Wilcox failed to follow a series of BNSF rules and procedures, his training, his work experience and his common sense. In doing so he failed to take reasonable care for his own safety."
In addition to suing under FELA, Wilcox's suit also includes claims under Arizona state law. Although FELA was passed by Congress in 1908 to compensate injured railway workers, both state and federal courts have concurrent jurisdiction under the act.
A similar trial last month in Georgia state court resulted in a $1 million verdict against Norfolk Southern Railway Co. in a suit brought by a company employee who was struck by a low-speed train while riding in a van in a railyard. That case was also brought under FELA in addition to Georgia state law.
The Arizona trial before Judge Randall Warner is expected to take nearly a full month to complete, and gavel-to-gavel video of the proceedings is available via Courtroom View Network.
Attorneys for the plaintiffs and a representative for BNSF did not respond to requests for comment.
The plaintiff is represented by Anthony S. Petru and Kristoffer S. Mayfield of Hildebrand McLeod & Nelson LLP and by Jason J. Romero and Don Andrew St. John of St. John & Romero PLLC.
BNSF is represented by William L. Thorpe and Bradley D. Shwer of Thorpe Shwer PC.
The case is Tina Wilcox v. BNSF Railway Co., case number CV2011-000477, in the Superior Court of the State of Arizona for Maricopa County.

Musethica is a nonprofit organization active in Germany, Israel, Poland, Spain and Sweden and is cooperating with partners in Austria, China and France.
Musethica is an education program for young, excellent musicians. It is a new model of integrating concert playing in to the education of musicians. It brings classical concerts on the highest level out of the concert halls into the whole society. It is a worldwide unique education concept which brings huge change in the society.
Musethica offers young, qualified artists the opportunity to perform regularly a large number of concerts as part of their education. The art of playing concerts cannot be learned in a classroom, it can only be learned in front of an audience.
Students together with professors and known musicians prepare concert programs of the highest quality. Then they play the concerts for people who are excluded or at risk of exclusion, in hospitals, refugee homes, homeless shelters, schools for special needs and many other social and humanitarian organizations. Some of the concerts are also played for the public in traditional concert halls.
Musicians participate in the concerts voluntarily and do not get any remuneration. The process of preparation of the concert and its realization are artistically and emotionally challenging for students and help them to grow and develop as musicians. Moreover, it stimulates cultural exchange and creates more open society. Students develop new way of understanding the music and their role as a professional musicians in the society.
The aim of this non-profit organization is to integrate the Musethica-model into the higher education system. In this way, Musethica gives the opportunity to attend to much more concerts, in comparison to the conventional system, to people who cannot enjoy them in another way. During a scholar year a minimum of 100 Musethica-concerts are performed.
The Musethica concept was created by the violist Avri Levitan. It was officially launched in 2012 in Zaragoza (Spain), under the auspices of Professor Carmen Marcuello.

Q: How to create a DB First Entity Framework(EF6) out of an Azure SQL DB with "Azure MFA" authentication? I am trying to create a DB first Entity Framework(EF6) out of an SQL DB hosted in Azure. The DB has Azure MFA ("Universal with MFA Authentication") type of auth.
The issue is that I am unable to create DB first EF from the DB with "Azure MFA" auth. While creating EF in the Visual Studio, the authentication type of DB is asked below the db server name, but there is no Azure MFA option listed below.

A: I'm sorry to dig that one up, but YES you can synchronize your EDMX within Visual Studio using MFA account.

*

*Select Authentication mode 'Sql Server Authentication'

*Then from the screenshot in the original post, click on 'advanced...' you should see a new window and under 'security' there is Authentication with an option called 'ActiveDirectoryInteractive'
(Screen sample here)

*in User name: write your AZURE login (like your email address) but not your password

*Click 'ok' the AZURE sign in form should pop out !

This should do the trick, at least it does for me using VS2017 & VS2019.

A: You must create a user for this purpose that does not require MFA.

A: Visual Studio doesn't support connect Azure SQL database with MFA authentication.
SSMS and SqlPackage.exe are the only tools currently enabled for MFA through Active Directory Universal Authentication.
Please reference: Universal Authentication limitations for SQL Database and SQL Data Warehouse
Hope this helps.

COLIN TURKINGTON CLINCHES POLE AT KNOCKHILL
Team BMW star reignites BTCC title hunt with stellar lap in Scotland
Four-time champion Colin Turkington delivered when he needed it most as the Team BMW man took pole position for Round 13 of the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship at Knockhill earlier today (14 August).
Currently languishing down in ninth in the overall Drivers' standings following challenging events at Brands Hatch and Oulton Park respectively, Turkington turned on the style around the tight and twisty Scottish circuit to set the fastest lap during a tense qualifying session.
The Northern Irishman will be further fuelled by the fact that his West Surrey Racing team currently stands on 99 BTCC race victories, having first entered the UK's premier motorsport series back in 1996. WSR boasts a rich history in the sport and, being the squad's most coveted star, the 39-year-old will be hoping for a century celebration tomorrow afternoon.
Oulton Park pole man Senna Proctor continued his rich vein of form in qualifying trim to take second, whilst his BTC Racing team-mate Josh Cook was fourth.
Chris Smiley left it until the final moments to reward his Ginsters EXCELR8 with TradePriceCars.com squad as he blasted his way up to third – splitting the two BTC Racing Hondas in the process – to complete an impressive day for the 29-year-old.
The #22 Hyundai pilot was second-quickest in the opening practice session, before going one better in FP2, whilst his qualifying pace confirmed his top three status throughout Saturday.
MB Motorsport accelerated by Blue Square's Jake Hill was just 0.002s slower than Cook, but the Kent driver will have been pleased to edge out championship leader Ash Sutton.
Laser Tools Racing returned with sixth and seventh places as Sutton topped team-mate Aiden Moffat, whilst Toyota Gazoo Racing UK's Rory Butcher had to make do with eighth despite looking like a pole position contender earlier in the day.
Tom Ingram will be relatively satisfied with ninth on the grid, having admitted to struggling slightly in his ballast-laden Ginsters EXCELR8 with TradePriceCars.com Hyundai.
Team BMW's Tom Oliphant pipped Halfords Racing with Cataclean's Gordon Shedden for the final place in the top ten, with the latter failing to find the ultimate pace in the second and third sectors of the lap.
Rounds 13, 14 and 15 of the 2021 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship will take place at Knockhill tomorrow (15 August) with a sizeable crowd expected to attend the favourite Fife circuit.
Those not in attendance can catch all of the action live on ITV4 from 1115.
Colin Turkington said: "It's really good to be back at the front of the grid – P1 is excellent. Knockhill is always a circuit I enjoy coming to and a great track for the BMW 3 Series. I thought we could be on the first couple of rows given I don't have too much success ballast in the car, but again you just never know because everybody is always fast!
"Dick [Bennetts, Team Principal] said he would buy a bottle of champagne for whoever gets that 100th win, so that has my name all over it! It's going to be tough; the gap was very small and I have a lot of very fast cars behind me. It's not going to be an easy race, but I'm confident in the car and I think I can score good points tomorrow."
Senna Proctor said: "When the opportunity came, I just got everything together and there was no traffic so it was good! I'm glad I got the lap in, but I know we're stronger in the race than we are in qualifying. It's looking good!
"I'll try not to make a mess of the start like I did at Oulton Park, and I'll try to have a better race day and get a couple of podiums tomorrow. We've done a few practice starts at shakedown this time. I'm sure Colin [Turkington] will be hard to beat off the line, but we'll give it our best shot!"
Chris Smiley said: "It was that last lap that got it done. The traffic absolutely murdered us at the start! There were a couple of laps that were up a little bit more, but that's just how it is around here, it's one of those places that doesn't forgive you if you get caught up by a car in front of you.
"The car feels awesome, it has done all day in both the wet and the dry. Qualifying in this championship definitely is key. We've been working hard on qualifying pace – I haven't really shown it this year. I think I'll put on a good show from P3."

Watch | Nathan Jones' reaction to victory against Wycombe Wanderers
NJ's verdict on today's 2-0 win against the Chairboys...
Manager Nathan Jones was delighted his side could record a third Championship victory in their opening four matches with today's 2-0 win against Wycombe Wanderers.
Goals from Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu and Elliot Lee earned Town a deserved three points as they head into the international break fifth in the table.
Speaking after the game at Kenilworth Road, Jones said: "It would have been a shame performance-wise if we had drawn that game. Without being disrespectful, you have to generate your own momentum and I thought we did that after about 30 minutes when the game started opening up a little bit, and then we came into and got into unbelievable positions.
"We should have capitalised, should have finished with a shot or something. Then second half we started really well, got the goal which was a wonderfully worked goal and then we've had two unbelievable opportunities.
"Berry should score from there after the cutback from Harry, then James Collins has an opportunity, Harry Cornick has an opportunity. Then Elliot Lee is through and can square it, so it could have been more, and with a little bit more composure and more quality, it is.
"We needed that second to rubber-stamp it, we had a little scare in terms of the offside goal. If it's offside, it's offside, but I thought we were the better side today without disrespecting anyone, so I'm pleased with that.
"You can never feel totally comfortable when you play against Wycombe because they're direct, they run, they put you under pressure. The kitman is probably as involved in the game as anyone, the owner is involved in the game more than anyone, and it's more prominent with no fans here.
"It was tough but I thought the referee was excellent in terms of how he handled it because there was a lot of pressure on him.
"I'm delighted with the win, all I'm concerned about is us. We should have scored more but we go into the international break in a real good place."

Essex County News: Millburn Township Passes Plastic Bag Ordinance
By MATTHEW KASS
Credits: Matthew Kass
MILLBURN, NJ — A measure that has been debated by some towns in New Jersey and passed and passed by others is on its way to implementation in Millburn.
At Tuesday's Millburn Township Committee meeting, the committee members approved ordinance 2547-19, which will prohibit the use of single-use carryout bags and polystyrene containers at retail establishments in town. Additionally, the measure will look to reduce the number of single-use plastic straws throughout the township.
With its passage, the ordinance will be added to the "Environmental Regulations" section of the Millburn Township ordinances as section 18-2.

While it was passed, it will not go into full effect immediately, as a six-month rollout period will be implemented to help get residents and businesses in town up to speed on the new measure.
Other municipalities in New Jersey have passed such ban including the Chatham Borough Council, while larger cities like Newark have tabled such ordinances for the time being.
For Rene Paparian, who worked on the ordinance with fellow Millburn Green Team member Ellen Ingber, the passage of her hard work was major. Paparian was present at the township meeting and spoke with TAPinto after the ordinance was passed.
"It is extremely symbolic of Millburn truly grasping the importance and the significance of sustainable habits," Paparian said. "To adopt sustainable habits and to think about what they can do to adopt a sustainable lifestyle, it's incredibly important. The state will come along at some point, but we definitely got there first, and we should be very proud of ourselves."
Paparian also noted that in the aftermath of the ordinance's passage, the environmental commission and the green team would both be available to educate residents on the ins and outs of the new ordinance.
The ordinance reads that in lieu of single use plastic bags, compliant bags will be provided to customers at retail establishments for a small fee, with the hope that customers will begin bringing their own reusable bags to stores. There are several exemptions to the list, which includes the following;
Bags for package bulk items, such as fruit, vegetables, nuts, grains, candies or small hardware items
Bags that contain or wrap frozen and non-frozen foods, meat or fish, wether packaged or not
Bags that contain or wrap flowers, potted plants or other items where dampness may be an issue
Bags that contain unwrapped prepared foods or bakery goods
Pharmacy prescription bags
Garment bags that contain articles of clothing (i.e. at the dry cleaners for shirts and suits.)
As previously covered, exemptions were carved out by the green team and the township committee at the behest of local business owners, who were consulted on the ordinance during the process.
In addition, also says that single-use plastic straws may only be given out to restaurant patrons by request. Any penalties for violations of this portion of the ordinance will be enforced by the Millburn Town Code Enforcement officer or the Health Officer, or one of their designees as noted by the ordinance.
Speaking on the passage of the ordinance, Millburn Mayor Diane Thall-Eglow said that in the estimation of the township committee, the six-month rollout was the right amount of time. She noted that one municipality had given a three-month rollout period, which she felt did not leave enough time for education on the subject.
Additionally, Thall-Eglow spoke about what it meant for Millburn to pass this ordinance before Trenton made it a state-wide decree.
"It wasn't only about being a trailblazer," Thall-Eglow said. "It was about if Trenton doesn't pass, that we would have been left with nothing. That's why it was so important to get this done before the year ended.
"We're hoping Trenton's going to do it, but there's a lot more people in Trenton that have to make that big decision, and it affects a lot more people. So we're really proud of our environmental commission, our green team and our Millburn Township Committee."

The victory puts the Lady Warriors into the Section 8A championmship game on Friday, March 8th against Stephen-Argyle (7:00 pm on 96.7 FM).
The Greyhounds scored their first points with 14:46 remaining in the first half and eventually cut the deficit to two at 11-9. That would be as close as the Greyhounds would get for the rest of the game.
The Greyhounds and Warriors met in the Section 8A Quarterfinals last year but did not face each other during the regular season this year.
Gerika Kingbird led Red Lake with 17 points as the Warriors improved to 20-7 overall. Autumn Holthusen hit 3 three pointers in the first half and ended up with 15 points for Red Lake.
Jaclyn Hubbard closed out her career as a Fosston Greyhound with 14 points and 8 rebounds as the Greyhounds end their season at 19-9. Hubbard, Kendra Eckman and McKinsey Rosendahl are the three seniors on this years Fosston team.
The Greyhounds turned the ball over 28 times, due in large part to the pressure defense applied by the Warriors.
The Warriors had to overcome some foul trouble with Kelanna McClain fouling out of the game with 11:09 remaining in the game.
When Red Lake plays Stephen-Argyle on Friday, it will be a rematch of last years Section 8A final which Stephen-Argyle won 56-49.
THIEF RIVER FALLS -- The Red Lake High School girls basketball team will return to the Section 8A title game for the third straight season after picking up a 58-47 win over Fosston in the 8A East subsection final Tuesday night in Thief River Falls.
The top-seeded Warriors (20-7) led from start to finish, jumping out to an 8-0 lead. Red Lake began to pull further away late in the first half and took a 32-17 halftime lead, which matched its largest of the game at the time.
The Warriors assumed a 19-point lead when Gerika Kingbird splashed a three to make it 43-24 with about 12 minutes remaining in the game.
Despite Kelanna McClain fouling out with 11 minutes to play, the second-seeded Greyhounds (19-9) could only manage to pull within 11 points as the clock wound down in the closing seconds. By then it was too late as Red Lake came away with the victory and the East subsection title.
Turnovers plagued Fosston all night as the team sustained 28 in the loss, compared to just 17 for the Warriors.
Kingbird led all scorers with 17 points. Autumn Holthusen followed with 15 points, including a pivotal three consecutive 3-pointers she buried late in the first half.

Triple Crown Heroes Absent As 3-Year-Olds Look To Season's Second Half
As the 2011 racing season rolls into its second half, the spotlight on the sport from the Triple Crown run is fading and the primary players of that three-race saga have either departed the stage or are hanging somewhere in the wings.
Gone is I'll Have Another, the winner of the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands and the Preakness, whose racing career ended two days before a planned bid for the Belmont Stakes, the final jewel of the Triple Crown. The tendon issue that ended the racing career of owner Paul Reddam's horse resulted not only in his retirement, but his departure from the country.
After U.S. breeders displayed only tepid interest in the classic-winning son of Flower Alley, Reddam sold I'll Have Another to Japanese breeding interests for $10 million. So not only is I'll Have Another gone, he is long-gone in terms of possible future impact on American racing.
The winner of the Belmont, the unlucky Union Rags, suffered more misfortune following his dramatic victory that eased some of the pain from his horrendous journey at Churchill Downs on Kentucky Derby Day. The temporary leader of the 3-year-old class after his gutty, but very slow, Belmont win suffered a ligament injury while training toward the June 29 Haskell Invitational at New Jersey's Monmouth Park, and will be out of racing for the rest of the year.
The good news in this story is that the colt's prognosis is good and the team behind Union Rags plans a return to competition for the grand-looking colt in 2013. But his sudden absence takes a little more air out of the sport's second half.
With the Triple Crown stars out of the picture, many racing fans were looking to Kentucky Derby and Preakness runner-up Bodemeister to become a force in the year's second half. He ran tremendous races in both Triple Crown appearances and figured to be a heavy favorite in next week's Haskell, the $1 million race that is the first big post-Triple Crown event for 3-year-olds.
Bodemeister could still dominate the second half of the season, but he'll have to wait until after the Haskell. Trainer Bob Baffert announced over the weekend that Bodemeister would miss that race after coming down with a high temperature in his Santa Anita barn. The illness, which Baffert said had affected other horses in his barn, would set Bodemeister back a couple of weeks.
The absence of those major stars is a disappointment for Triple Crown fans who had looked forward to the second half of the year after the dramatic races of the spring, but the Haskell still holds plenty of interest if Monmouth Park officials can hold the race together for a few more days.
Scheduled to appear in the 1 1/8-mile race is Dullahan, the third-place finisher in the Derby who ran a disappointing seventh as the favorite in the Belmont. Some critics have already written off trainer Dale Romans' colt as a force on traditional dirt following his run at the Belmont. While his two career victories have come on Keeneland's synthetic Polytrack course and he has run very well on grass, he also ran well at Churchill Downs in the Derby and last fall's Grey Goose Breeders' Cup Juvenile, so it's a bit early for Romans to forget dirt surfaces.
It's very possible that Dullahan might not have cared for the Belmont course known as the "Big Sandy," or that a sizzling Belmont Week worked by the colt might have taken a toll on Belmont Stakes Day. Plus, Romans already has a budding turf monster in his barn in a 3-year-old colt named Silver Max, so he might as well give Dullahan one more try on the natural footing.
As the Haskell appears to be a bid for redemption for Dullahan, it will probably provide that opportunity to a couple of well-fancied Derby hopes that were beaten soundly at Churchill Downs on the first Saturday in May. With Bodemeister offstage for the race, it appears that reigning 2-year-old Hansen, ninth in the Derby, and Wood Memorial and Kentucky Jockey Club winner Gemologist, who ran 16th in the big race, could appear in the starting gate at Belmont Park.
And Baffert could still show up on the Jersey Shore with a strong contender in Paynter, who narrowly lost the Belmont Stakes to Union Rags. The Baffert camp has long regarded Paynter as big star waiting to rise, and the Haskell could provide that opportunity to justify that enthusiasm.
Another colt that could enhance his reputation with a big run in the Haskell is Neck 'n Neck, a runaway winner of the Matt Winn Stakes at Churchill Downs in mid-June. Trainer Ian Wilkes' son of Flower Alley ran decently against top company over the winter in Florida, but not well enough to merit serious Kentucky Derby consideration.
Neck 'n Neck's 7 ½-length Matt Winn capped a Churchill Downs meet in which the colt won twice. Those victories could be a sign that he's a late-blooming good horse, but there's a chance he could be a Churchill Downs "horse for the course." Wilkes colt is 3-for-5 beneath the Twin Spires, but winless in five races everywhere else.
Now, a couple of updates on jockeys injured during the recently-completed Churchill Downs Spring Meet. Jockey John Velazquez, who suffered a broken collarbone and other injuries in a homestretch spill on the June 16 Stephen Foster Handicap nighttime card, returned to the saddle last Monday to work a 2-year-old for trainer Todd Pletcher at Saratoga.
Velazquez, who won the 2011 Kentucky Derby aboard Animal Kingdom and piloted Union Rags to his Belmont victory, is not expected to return to a full riding schedule until at least a couple of weeks into the upcoming racing meet at Saratoga.
Best wishes to Shane Sellers, who continues to recuperate from a fractured right shoulder blade suffered in a fall on Friday, June 29. Sellers' mount ran into the temporary rail on the Churchill Downs turf course.
Agent Fred Aime said Tuesday that Sellers is "feeling great" and should resume exercising horses by the end of July. He said Sellers would likely focus on his business in Kentucky when he resumes riding, and gear-up for a hoped-for strong finish on the year at Keeneland and Churchill Downs.
Sellers, a three-time leading rider at Churchill Downs, returned to the track this spring on a full-time basis for the first time in several years. He won 14 races, good for an eighth-place finish in the Spring Meet riding standings.

A Woman Who Can Smell Parkinson's, Alzheimers, Cancer, TBC, Is Inspiring New Research Into Diagnosis
Posted on March 29, 2020 by Robin Edgar
For most of her life, Joy Milne had a superpower that she was totally oblivious to. She simply had no idea she possessed an utterly amazing, slightly terrifying biological gift that scientists would itch to study.
In fact, Joy probably would have stayed oblivious if it hadn't been for her husband, Les Milne.
But then one day, about 10 years into the marriage, when Les was 31, he came home, and strangely, Joy says, he smelled different. "His lovely male musk smell had got this overpowering sort of nasty yeast smell," she says.
Joy says that over the next 20 years she and Les tried to make the best of things, but it was difficult: the loss of movement, the loss of work, the slow narrowing of their world. Still, they struggled through. Then about seven years ago, they decided to attend a support group for people suffering from Parkinson's.
"We were late. … A lot of people were there. And I walked into the room and I thought, 'SMELL!' " she says.
Joy realized that the other people in the room had the same greasy, musty smell that Les had — the smell that Joy had first noticed when Les was just 31. "And then I realized for some people it smelled stronger and for other people it didn't smell so strong," she says.
Could it be, Joy wondered, that Parkinson's has a smell?
As they drove home from the meeting, Joy kept puzzling it over in her head, and by the time they arrived, she'd decided she would tell her husband.
She says once she made her discovery clear, his eyes widened: "He's a doctor — we both understood the significance. Immediately."
To begin, this was a new scientific discovery, but also, Joy had smelled the disease on Les more than a decade before his symptoms got severe enough for them to seek medical help. If Joy could predict Parkinson's before its well-known symptoms, such as shaking and sleep disruption, even started to appear, maybe she could work with researchers. It might lead to a breakthrough.
Kunath asked one group of people who had Parkinson's and another group of people who didn't have Parkinson's to take home white T-shirts, wear them overnight and then return them.
Then Kunath gave the T-shirts to Joy to smell. "They were all given randomized numbers and put in a box, and then she was asked to take each one out and give it a score," he says.
Was the person who wore this shirt at an early stage of Parkinson's? In a late stage of Parkinson's? Something in between? Or maybe the person didn't have the disease at all.
"And she was incredibly accurate," Kunath says.
In fact, out of all the samples, Joy made only one mistake. She identified a man in the control group, the group without Parkinson's, as having the disease. But many months later, Kunath says, that man actually approached him at an event and said, "Tilo, you're going to have to put me in the Parkinson's pile because I've just been diagnosed."
It was incontrovertible: Joy not only could smell Parkinson's but could smell it even in the absence of its typical medical presentation.
Kunath and fellow scientists published their work in ACS Central Science in March 2019, listing Joy as a co-author. Their research identified certain specific compounds that may contribute to the smell that Joy noticed on her husband and other Parkinson's patients.
Joy and her super smelling abilities have opened up a whole new realm of research, Kunath says. Researchers, including Perdita Barran at the University of Manchester, led a second, larger study and have recently found 10 compounds linked to Parkinson's by using mass spectrometry and other techniques to analyze samples from 274 people. They're hoping to find a way to diagnose Parkinson's from skin-based biomarkers, according to Barran. More work is soon to come, she adds.
Joy's superpower is so unusual that researchers all over the world have started working with her and have discovered that she can identify several kinds of illnesses — tuberculosis, Alzheimer's disease, cancer and diabetes.

Germany v England Preview
Hodgson's men begin Euro 2016 preparations
England travel to Germany for the first of their friendlies in preparation for this summer's Euro 2016, with Saturday's game likely to provide clues as to Roy Hodgson's plans for the tournament.
Injuries to Wayne Rooney, Joe Hart and Raheem Sterling have robbed Hodgson of three of his most important stars for this match, while Leicester City's Danny Drinkwater and Burnley goalkeeper Tom Heaton are the only uncapped players included in the England squad.
More positive news for Hodgson comes with the return to fitness of Daniel Sturridge, Danny Welbeck, Jordan Henderson and Fraser Forster, who all missed previous squads through injury.
Striker selection
Up front is perhaps where Hodgson has the biggest selection issue for his Euro 2016 squad.
The goalscoring form of Jamie Vardy and Harry Kane this season surely books them a seat on the plane, while captain Rooney is also certain of being taken as long as he can prove his fitness.
Hodgson has indicated he intends to take five forward players to Euro 2016, so that only leaves two places to fill and there are a handful of players who will be hoping to be included.
Sturridge and Welbeck have returned to full fitness with perfect timing and both players have been in good goalscoring form since coming back, but Hodgson may judge it to be too much of a risk to take both of the strikers when they have each missed so much action due to injuries this season.
Hodgson says he sees Arsenal's Theo Walcott as a striker rather than a winger and the versatile forward could be set for more major tournament heartache.
A teenage Walcott was taken to the 2006 World Cup before he even had a Premier League appearance to his name, but was unused by Sven-Göran Eriksson.
Four years later, Walcott was omitted from England's final squad for the World Cup in Germany, despite playing a key role in qualifying, and he missed the 2014 World Cup through injury. Walcott has lost form and finds himself out of the Arsenal team, so could he be the one to miss out?
Jermain Defoe's 12 goals for a poor Sunderland side could yet see him come into contention too, while Andy Carroll is fit and scoring for West Ham United. There are few better Plan Bs available to Hodgson than the aerial power of Carroll when he is fully fit and firing.
Teenage tyro Marcus Rashford may also force his way into the squad if he keeps scoring for Manchester United.
In-form players?
Fantasy football favourites Harry Kane and Dele Alli have forged a great partnership for Tottenham this season and many want to see them given the chance to team up for England too.
The seven goals Alli has provided for Kane this season is more than any other pairing in the Premier League and Alli took to international football like a duck to water with a stunning goal on his full England debut against France in November.
Alli's continuing development could be bad news for Everton's Ross Barkley, who has had a good season but has faded in the last few weeks. It is hard to envisage Hodgson starting both players.
With Spurs in full flow in the Premier League it will be tempting for Hodgson to pack his side with players from the title challengers. Alli and Kane have a great chance of starting and they could be joined by versatile Eric Dier, as well as the full-backs Kyle Walker and Danny Rose. It is not inconceivable that Spurs could provide five players for Hodgson's strongest XI at Euro 2016.
If Hodgson intends to pick players in form, then perhaps uncapped midfielder Drinkwater should also be starting. The energy of Leicester's midfield heartbeat could be vital in France this summer.
What to expect from Germany
The dropping of Wolfsburg striker Max Kruse from the Germany squad has dominated the build-up to this match, with Joachim Löw dismissing the forward for off-the-field indiscretions.
Löw has named a big squad for a double-header of games against England and Italy as he fine-tunes his options for Euro 2016, where his side are certain to be among the favourites.
"The battle for places gets serious now, " says Löw. "There are eight weeks left until the end of the season and we have chosen a big squad to talk to the players about what is expected."
Bastian Schweinsteiger, Germany's captain, has been ruled out of both fixtures as a result of a knee injury, but Löw expects his skipper to be fit enough to take the field at Euro 2016. Mesut Özil and Karim Bellarabi also face a race to be fit for the game at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.
Löw will mark 10 years in charge of Germany at Euro 2016 and during his time in charge the country have reached at least the semi-finals of every World Cup and European Championship.
Germany will be a serious test for England this weekend after Hodgson's side won all 10 of their games in a very mediocre qualifying group.

Saying Kaddish
How to Comfort the Dying, Bury the Dead, and Mourn As a Jew
By Diamant, Anita
ISBN10: 0805210881 ISBN13: 9780805210880 Publisher: Schocken Books Published: Jul 1 1999 Weight: 0.60lbs. Height: 8.25" Width: 5.00" Depth: 0.50" Language: English
Anita Diamant's knowledge, sensitivity, and clarity have made her one of the most respected writers of guides to Jewish life. In Saying Kaddish, she shows how to make Judaism's time-honored rituals into personal, meaningful sources of comfort. Diamant guides the reader through Jewish practices that attend the end of life, from the sickroom to the funeral to the week, month, and year that follow. There are chapters describing the traditional Jewish funeral and the customs of Shiva, the first week after death when mourners are comforted and cared for by community, friends, and family. She also explains the protected status of Jewish mourners, who are exempt from responsibilities of social, business, and religious life during Shloshim, the first thirty days. And she provides detailed instructions for the rituals of Yizkor and Yahrzeit, as well as chapters about caring for grieving children, mourning the death of a child, neonatal loss, suicide, and the death of non-Jewish loved ones.

The agreement will see TransferMate operate as Laver Cup's exclusive foreign currency provider for all relevant services relating to foreign exchange payments.

The Laver Cup is played over three days with four matches each day – three singles and a doubles. Both singles and doubles matches are the best of three sets with ad scoring where the winning team must reach 13 points. Matchups will be determined prior to the first match each day through the exchange of line-up cards by the captains.
TransferMate is thrilled to announce its partnership with Laver Cup. We are excited they have chosen us to process their foreign currency payments and collections, not only in the US but globally. This partnership is the perfect fit for our global expansion. I am confident that TransferMate's secure end-to-end international payment solution, utilizing our global banking network, will be of huge benefit to Laver Cup and I wish them every success.
We are delighted to partner with TransferMate – they are a perfect match for the Laver Cup, which is a truly global event," Managing Director Steve Zacks added.
Every year we not only bring together the world's best players from across Europe and the rest of the world, we also stage the event in a different country and city. We were in Prague in 2017, are in Chicago this year, and will be in Geneva, Switzerland in 2019. TransferMate will help us in our day-to-day business operations. It's great to partner with an organization that like us, is able to work seamlessly across many continents and time zones. We look forward to a great relationship.

Q: about bubble sorting implementation I have below bubble sort implementation:
def bubbleSortArray(arr):
    arr_len =len(arr)

    for i in range(0,arr_len):
        for j in range(i+1, arr_len):
            if  arr[i]>arr[j]:
                tmp=arr[i]
                arr[i]=arr[j]
                arr[j]=tmp

    print(arr)

most of the bubble sort implementation I found are like below one. can anyone please explain what's issue with my above implementation comparing to below one? both time complexity are O(n2), right?
static void BubbleSortBasicOptimised(int[] dataSet)
{
    // loop n-1 times.
    for (int i = dataSet.Length - 1; i > 0 ; --i)
    {
        // keep track of whether items were swapped
        // for this iteration
        bool swapped = false;

        // for each loop, iterate through the first i
        // items (ie. the unsorted ones)
        for (int j = 0; j < i; ++j)
        {
            // if adjacent items need to be swapped
            if (dataSet[j] > dataSet[j + 1])
            {
                // swap them
                Swap(dataSet, j, j + 1);

                // indicate that we found a swap
                swapped = true;
            }
        }

        // if nothing was swapped, then we should
        // already have everything in order
        if (!swapped)
        {
            break;
        }
    }
}

A: Your algorithm is exchange sort. It's often confused with bubble sort. In each pass (outer loop iteration), you compare the value at position i with all the values at higher positions, swapping when necessary. In bubble sort, you compare the values at positions j and j+1.
See also.
BubbleSortBasicOptimised is a bubble sort but going from right to left and with an optimization: checking whether any swap has occured in the current pass, and stopping if not.
A bubble sort going from left to right instead would take i from 0 to dataSet.Length - 1 and j from i+1 to dataSet.Length - 1.


Baptist Medical Center South of Jacksonville, Florida has discovered a backup drive containing the electronic protected health information of 531 patients has gone missing. The portable storage drive was discovered to be missing on May 18, 2017. The device is believed to have been taken from an EEG room.
A full search for the device was conducted but it could not be located. Baptist Medical Center South was unable to determine whether the portable drive had been borrowed by a member of staff and not returned, was misplaced, stolen or had been accidentally discarded. Baptist Medical Center South was also unable to determine when the device went missing.
An investigation was conducted which enabled the medical center to determine which data had been backed up on the device. The information stored on the drive was limited to names, dates of birth, physician's orders, medical record numbers, diagnoses, reasons for study, images taken during EEG tests and patients' room numbers. The data related to certain patients who had visited the medical center for EEG testing in 2015, 2016 and 2017. No financial information or Social Security numbers were stored on the device.
The device was not protected with encryption, although patients' electronic protected health information could only be accessed using special software. If the device was taken, that would make it difficult for the thieves to access patients' information.
No reports have been received to suggest any information on the device has been accessed or misused, although patients whose protected health information was exposed have now been notified by mail out of an abundance of caution and to satisfy regulatory requirements.
In order to prevent future security incidents of this nature from occurring, Baptist Medical Center South has reinforced and enhanced its security practices and has re-educated all staff that work in the EEG department.
