Aja and Spencer are self-labelled 'non-traditionalists', but we'll go a step further in saying they're cutting edge. When they asked all their guests to dress in white for their wedding day, heads turned and gasps were felt from a distance, but it ended up being the best decision for the bride who wore a black Ellery dress, to really stand out in the most unexpected way.
The wintry snowcapped mountains of Tasmania was the setting of Spencer's proposal, followed by a spontaneous stop at Tasmanian Food & Wine Conservatory which the pair instantly knew would become the place they'd get married at, celebrating with a "big dinner party".
Cinematographers Roost Film Co and photographers Heart & Colour (despite their name) had a field day in capturing the monochromatic colour scheme of the day.
The most exciting part for their guests? "When our MC and dear friend, Casey announced to the guests that in true Aja and Spencer fashion we were having espresso martinis instead of a wedding cake. The room erupted in cheering! Everyone loved it!," says Aja, smiling as she reminisces.
Originally a Tassie girl, having all their wedding guests fly in for the occasion meant a huge deal to the bride. "My mother passed away ten years ago and Tassie is where we placed her ashes, so having our wedding in the beautiful state where we grew up and spent many years together as a family was very special, and celebrating important moments like this is a tradition we will continue forever," says Aja.

Puerto Rico Highway 119 (PR-119) is a long north-to-south highway in Puerto Rico that goes from Puerto Rico Highway 2 in Hatillo, close to its border with Camuy to the same highway in San Germán. It goes through the municipalities of Camuy, San Sebastián, Las Marías and Maricao before ending in the freeway segment of PR-2. Between Camuy and San Sebastián it passes near Guajataca Lake, the largest artificial lake in western Puerto Rico.

Q: Why does reversing an operation allow overflow handling? A leetcode problem (https://leetcode.com/problems/reverse-integer/description/) asks to reverse an integer, which is simple enough, but wants the user to return 0 if there is any overflow. Doing this with long is also simple, as you can check if it's greater than INTEGER.MAX_INT or MIN_INT in java. But if only 32 bit ints are allowed, how can this be accomplished?
The following solution is shown:
public int reverse(int x)
{
    int result = 0;

    while (x != 0)
    {
        int tail = x % 10;
        int newResult = result * 10 + tail;
        if ((newResult - tail) / 10 != result)
        { return 0; }
        result = newResult;
        x = x / 10;
    }

    return result;
}

I'm confused why this works. Why does "reversing" the operation, and comparing it to the previous result successfuly check for overflow?
If you started with x, then said:
x2 = (x*10) + b, wouldn't (x2-b)/10 always equal x? Since a positive overflow always loops around to the min value, and a negative overflow always loops around to the max value. How does this check for overflow? I would love any clarifications on this.

A:
If you started with x, then said: x2 = (x*10) + b, wouldn't (x2-b)/10 always equal x?

No.  Your intuition about "looping" is correct for addition and subtraction - it's like moving back and forth on a clock face around 12 o'clock.
However, this doesn't apply to multiplication, as this example demonstrates:
int x = 2_000_000_000;
int y = x * 10;
int z = y / 10;

System.out.println(x);   // 2000000000
System.out.println(z);   // -147483648

Live demo.
So to answer the top-level question:

Why does "reversing" the operation, and comparing it to the previous result successfully check for overflow?

Because when overflow occurs, "reversing" this sequence of operations won't get you back to the input value.

Whoops he DID it again.
Johnny Manziel just can't seem to keep his hands off his social media….or beer.
Having virtual access to the I WANT IT NOW social media by owning any of the technological devices smarter than us (smartphones, tablets and laptops ), it isn't hard to believe that anyone can make a mistake while tweeting, facebooking, instagramming, youtubing, tumblering, wordpressing….. anymore -ings?
It's true, nobody can escape the eyes and ears of social media. It's EVERYWHERE.
But Johnny Manziel isn't anyone.
You just can't seem to keep your mouth shut can you Football boy?
Now here is a thought: Wouldn't you think a young guy who has been around social media his WHOLE life, a guy who is far more knowledgable than your typical older athlete about all the fun digital toys, interactive channels and open digital communication would know better than to stream his unfiltered opinions on a public platform that million and MILLIONS of people have access to? Yes, you WOULD think that.
ANOTHER thought: Being the only College Freshman football player to ever win the Heisman Trophy, wouldn't he be surrounded by coaches, publicists, higher collegiate authorities and SEC conference officials to advise him to be more cautious and perhaps mute when expressing his honest opinion about issues that pertain to his athletic ability, academic standing and recreational activities in public?
Yes Johnny, social media is public.
You have thousands and thousands of followers, I don't think your tweets will go unnoticed unless you start tweeting solely in emoticons. Hmmm…I may be on to something….
Then there is the loop-hole: He is twenty years old. What were you doing at twenty? Exactly…..nothing you would want to broadcast to the entire Twitter sphere.
So dude, Mr. Football, just don't air your frustrations in the Twitter world when you have over 400,000 followers, you AREN'T going to go unnoticed. But I bet you already knew that didn't you…..

WASHINGTON • "I don't know how you do it," a well-meaning parent says. It is innocent enough but it is voiced so often to parents of children with special needs that it can grate on their nerves.
Sometimes, those parents want to shake their heads and respond: "I don't know either." Other times, the reaction is more resolved: "You just do." Regardless of the answer, parenting a child with special needs can feel lonely.
People have drifted away because they do not know how to continue to be a friend in this unfamiliar territory. Often when people are not sure what to do, they do not do anything, which widens the gap.
It can be tough for people who are not in that position to know what to say or do to help parents of kids with special needs. Here are six things to avoid and six things you can do instead.
1 Do not pretend to understand.
You can listen but you cannot fully grasp the impact of raising a child with special needs.
But just because you do not know the exact experience does not mean you cannot educate yourself. Ask your friend for a resource or two so you can better understand her child's challenges and gifts. Her child is not broken; he just has needs that look different.
2 Do not ignore the needs.
Your friend knows her child is different. Ignoring that will just put a wall between you. Do talk about it, gently. Be sensitive and understanding. Being honest helps.
If you want to invite the child to a birthday party, but are not sure about his needs, say that.
"Hey, Joe would really love for Chris to come celebrate his birthday. We will be at an arcade. Will that work for Chris?"
And be open to alternative arrangements, such as an individual play date instead of the group party.
3 Do not talk about special needs all the time.
Parents who spend a lot of time talking about their child's needs with doctors, specialists, therapists and school personnel may want a break from that.
Do provide normal conversation. Be fun. Talk about your life (without apologising). Have coffee and chat about other things.
4 Do not run away.
When people do not know how to handle a situation, they are inclined to disappear. Do not be the friend who leaves.
Special needs parents need help. They want you to stick around. Even a quick text or a note in the mail can mean a lot.
When your friend has time, make yourself available.
5 Do not talk behind her back.
Your friend knows her life is different and sometimes gossip-worthy. Do not feed that. She needs someone on her side. It is better to be quiet than fuel the gossip mill. When you hear something or wonder about a situation, gently ask her about it. She may not want to talk, but she will know that you came to her instead of talking to everyone else.
6 Do not take it personally if she has to cancel.
Do understand that her world is intense. Sometimes, she may need a break from interacting, a day on which she does not have to leave the house or put on a happy face.


Good communication skills and writing skills.
Minimum experience of 1 Year required.
Excellent communication, organization and customer service skills.
Professionally Qualified - CA/CPA/CMA/MBA or equivalent.
Ability to multitask and work smartly.
Ability to discuss with consultants/customers.
Graduate of Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration.


E liquid is the liquid content that fuels the electronic cigarette or the personal vaporizer which substitute the traditional tobacco smoke. E-liquid, also known as E-juice, contains the nicotine solution in much lower quantity in comparison with a traditional smoke. An E-liquid also delivers nicotine in a vapor rather than in smoke form and thus it is significantly safer compared to other tobacco products. E-Cigarettes are the devices that are primarily used as an aid to reduce or quitting smoking. Overall, the increasing awareness the advantages of E-liquid smoking over the tobacco smoking leads to the significant growth of E-liquid market over the forecast period. The nicotine content in E-liquid generally ranges between 0 to 20 MG/ML. The market for E-liquid that contains nicotine is much higher than nicotine free E-liquid market. The biggest market is for the E-liquids that contains 12 to 18 MG/ML of nicotine.
The global E-liquid market is projected to grow at a significant CAGR as the demand of ultimate end use market (E-Cigarette Market) is anticipated to grow over the forecast period. Increasing health awareness is driving the switch from traditional tobacco smoking to E-smoking, which directly will cause a surge in demand for E-liquid. Though E- liquid vapor contains some of the toxicants present in tobacco smoke, still they are at much lower levels. The considerable low cost of E-cigarettes as compared with tobacco products also motivate smokers to switch to these devices. Easy availability of E-liquid through online as well as retail channel, in addition to availability in a large array of cartridge flavors is also supporting the market in higher penetration.
However, the market is restrained from growth due to factors including risk of poisoning from ingestion of e-liquids, fire threats from electrical elements of the E-cigarette and battery explosion threats. E-liquid may also cause other health ill effects as the vapors may contain some toxins, heavy metals and harmful chemicals which are not found in tobacco smoke.
The global E-liquid market is segmented into the seven regions: North America, Latin America, Western Europe, and Eastern Europe, Asia Pacific Excluding Japan (APEJ), Japan and Middle East and Africa (MEA). The Western Europe is dominating the global E-liquid market and contributing a major share in the global E-liquid market. North America and Eastern Europe regions are also the fastest growing E-liquid markets due to the high adoption rate of E-cigarette. APEJ and Japan are expected to register a moderate growth rate to the global E-liquid market. MEA is at a nascent stage in the global E-liquid market. Overall the global E-liquid market is expected to register a significant market growth over the forecast period 2016 to 2026.


The death toll and causality count have been mounting at an alarming speed in Venezuela, as protests continue past the 50-day mark, and dictator Nicolás Maduro intensifies attempts to repress public outcry against the political and economic crisis his administration has created.
The country's opposition leader, Henrique Capriles Radonski, who serves as Governor of the state of Miranda, recently reported protests statistics, claiming there have been more than 2,000 detainees, 13,000 injured, 40 members of congress beaten and 48 people killed in more than 51 days of demonstrations.
Some of these statistics, he said, came from the Public Ministry as well as NGOs.
Capriles also said the number of detainees may be even higher than the reported 2,632, nearly half of whom have been deprived of their freedoms.
The governor said that 331 civilians have been tried in military court, 168 of which have been sentenced to imprisonment. By May 21, 13,000 people had been injured, of which 40 were members of congress. Capriles denounced the torture of detainees.
Coordinator of the Criminal Forum in Carabobo, Luis Betancourt, has also reported allegations of torture by security forces. He said most detainees are beaten during arrest and are transferred to a temporary detention site before facing a judge.

Bendy and Tash Have A Sinderella Moment.
Bendy and Tash were on their way to a very important party. The governor of a small but important principality- who was visiting Melbourne, Australia, had invited them to his son's 25th birthday garden party.
They were of course running late because Bendy could not decide whether to wear her very best black pants, as it was a special occasion or her second best pair, as it was a garden party.
Tash had lost patience waiting for her and had decided to try a new facial hair conditioner. Unfortunately she had not realised that it had to stay on for quite so long. But at last they were on their way (Bendy had decided the occasion called for her very best pants and her new Jimmy Choo heels).
As they were so late there were no car parks so they had to walk the last few blocks. Bendy's Jimmy Choos were hurting her toes a bit but she refused to admit to Tash that wedges might have been more sensible. As she reasoned, you never knew who you would meet, so it always paid to look your best.
They were almost there when they heard the clock strike twelve midnight. Suddenly a young girl came tearing around a corner and ran slap bang into Tash, knocking her to the ground. Bendy breathed a sigh of relief that it wasn't her (she couldn't take breaking another pair of heels) before extending a hand to help Tash up.
"What on earth is the hurry?" said Tash.
"I'm dreadfully sorry! I didn't expect to meet up with anyone. I presumed everyone would be at the party," replied the young girl breathlessly.
"I'm trying to get home, I'm just so embarrassed," said the girl. Even though she was looking at the ground, Bendy and Tash could see her face was bright red.
Bendy and Tash looked at her shabby hair, mismatched make up and awful styling. While they sympathized with her they secretly thought she could have got a little advice from any reasonable department store…and what was with shoes or a shoe that looked like it was made of glass.
Bendy and Tash gave a slight shudder but allowed her to continue.
As Sindy wiped her nose with her sleeve, Bendy and Tash exchanged a horrified look.
"The governor's son asked me to dance. I danced with him for seven songs, feeling giddier and giddier. Just as the clock struck twelve we danced over to a wall of mirrors. Suddenly I caught a glimpse of my reflection. I may not be a fashionista like you two obviously are but I can recognise a hideous mistake.
Bendy looked down at her perfectly pedicured toenails in their peep toe shoes and gave a little sigh. She looked over at Tash who raised one eyebrow and wriggled her moustache and gave a slight nod.
The three of them walked back to the car. Bendy pretended to stretch by turning a few somersaults but she was really taking the pressure off her feet. She managed to land just in front of the side mirror which gave her an opportunity to check her make up.
They drove to Sindy's house. When they got there the front door was wide open and what looked like the family silver was piled into the back of a station wagon.
"Oh no we're being robbed," said Sindy.
"I'd say she's being scammed," whispered Tash to Bendy.
They heard a noise from inside the front room.
Suddenly Bendy cartwheeled across the lounge room floor. She placed her legs around a woman's neck and flung her to the ground. Tash followed and after whipping a curtain cord from the wall had the woman trussed and lying quietly in a minute.
"We need to call the police," said Bendy, but first things first.
For the next thirty minutes Bendy and Tash redid Sindy's make up and hair. Then they explained how to put a flattering outfit together and how important finding the correct shade of lipstick and eyeshadow was. Finally when they were totally prepared they rang the police. The police were delighted to find Bendy and Tash there.
"Thank goodness you two have been able to solve this dreadful crime," said the Inspector.
"What…fake silver..Damn!" groaned the thieving woman.
The police constable hauled her up off the floor and took her back to the police station.
Later as Bendy, Tash, Sindy and the Inspector shared a bottle of Bollinger that they had found in the wine cellar, Sindy sighed.
"Oh I'll never find a boyfriend!" said Sindy.
"I don't have a girlfriend and I think you're very pretty," said the Inspector shyly.
She placed a small muslin bag in both their hands. As they opened them they each saw a beautiful pair of diamond and pearl earrings.
"These are real, not cultured pearls," said Tash.
Bendy placed her arm around Sindy.
Keep watch for the next exciting episode of Bendy and Tash when Auntie Betty crops up.

A: Following the suggestion of @gunnar-hjalmarsson, I removed LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 from the files: /etc/default/locale and /etc/environment. I also removed the file: ~/.pam_environment. Now everything works as expected.
If the above did not work for you, you may want to try a temporary solution in this link (again suggested by @gunnar-hjalmarsson)
After matlab launches, run
setenv('LC_ALL','C')

and then it is possible to open .m files.


If you ever needed a reason to eat a giant slab of chocolate cake, we have got the excuse to top all excuses as today is 'International Chocolate Cake Day' where it is practically law to eat as much of the good stuff as you can!
According to legends the chocolate cake was born in 1765 when a doctor and a chocolate maker teamed up in an old mill. They ground up cocoa beans between huge millstones to make a thick syrup. The liquid was poured into moulds shaped like cakes, which were meant to be transformed into a beverage. Until 1900, chocolate recipes were mostly for chocolate drinks, and its presence in cakes was only in fillings and glazes. In 1886, American cooks began adding chocolate to the cake batter, to make the first chocolate cakes we know and love today!
PO41 in the old post office in Yarmouth is small, but perfectly formed. There is usually a good selection of homemade cakes and pastries on the counter and they do a great line in vegan cakes too.

Each race before she soars down the track at tremendous speed, flying over hurdles with breathtaking accuracy and skill, Garaway sophomore Carly Jacobs writes down her desired goals on her hand.
As she entered the Massillon Perry Div. III Regional Track and Field Meet on Friday, May 26, her goal was a simple one: run below 45 seconds in the 300-meter hurdle race. She figured win or lose, if she did that, she would be satisfied with her effort.
In the 100-hurdles Jacobs came on strong at the end, placing second in 15.32 behind the winning time of 15.03, logged by Norwayne's Rachel Schmidt.
After ripping to a second-place finish in the 100-meter hurdles to secure her first-ever berth at state, she crouched in the blocks, came roaring out when the gun went off and never looked back in reeling off a stunning 44.97, a time good enough to win the regional event with surprising ease.
That time set a new standard for the Massillon Perry track and was well ahead of runner-up Raquel Jones of Mogadore's time of 46.19. Jacobs' time would have placed her fifth overall at the state meet last season.
After finishing the race, Jacobs looked at her time and put her hands to her mouth in joyful surprise as she looked for her family in the stands.
"I was shocked and surprised even though that was my goal," Jacobs said. As for the monster length of her victory, she said it is way too hard to tell who might be trying to chase you down to worry about that kind of thing.
Her head coach, Zach Mottice, said Jacobs is a relentless worker who leads by example. He noted that she is one of the most driven, hard-working athletes he has had.
That competitive nature has driven her to new heights as a hurdler, and she now has the "two-time state qualifier" moniker under her belt.
Asked if she has better in her, Jacobs took the high road and said simply that she is going to go to state, do her very best and compete as hard as she can. Her times will be what they are, and she will finish where she finishes, but she will not bend on giving 100 percent.
As an added bonus in the 300-hurdles, Jacobs' good friend Regina Gonano of Tuscarawas Central Catholic will join her at state, having qualified in the fourth and final spot with a time of 46.69, one-hundredth of a second ahead of fifth-place finisher Megan Miller of Badger.

Essay Service Examples Politics James Madison
The Federalists and The Constructionist Views During The Years of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison
Topics: James Madison
The premise of strict construction versus loose constructionism was a prominent view of the Constitution which would ultimately split the nation into two separate political entities. The Federalists were champions of a strong national government with a loose interpretation of the Constitution, whereas the Republicans were champions of state and local governments with supposedly strict interpretations of the Constitution. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison terms as president were often characterized by these strong democratic views that would oppose the primary political views of the Federalists. However, this characterization of Jefferson and Madison's presidencies were not entirely definite, as both presidents would exercise power that would go beyond this established profile of Jeffersonian Republicans. Federalists were also not excluded from this deviation from core ideals. The characterization of the two political parties during the presidencies of Jefferson and Madison were not entirely accurate as shown by the deviation of character by Jefferson's actions as president, Jefferson utilizing both ideals, Madison's administration exercising powers beyond the Constitution, and what the Federalists accomplished at the Hartford Convention.
Despite being characterized by his strict constructionist policies, Jefferson would deviate from this policy in many areas. During the later years of Jefferson's presidency, tensions had begun to arise between the British and French in the Napoleonic Wars. The Chesapeake Leopold Affair, which was the capturing of American citizens by a British naval ship would lead to Jefferson imposing the Embargo Act of 1807 (Document C). Not only would he impose the Embargo Act, but he would soon impose the Non-Intercourse Act to punish the actions of the French and British. Jefferson's response to the foreign problem was very uncharacteristic of him and demonstrated his following of loose constructionism, as the Constitution only allows Congress to regulate commerce. Furthermore, Jefferson states "…laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths disclosed, and manners and opinions change with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also and keep pace with the times" (Document G). Jefferson recognizes that times change, resulting in a change of ideas, and ultimately "changes in laws and Constitutions". Therefore, because the Constitution cannot always be accurate with the times, it must change accordingly– demonstrating the premise of loose constructionism.
Jefferson accomplished a presidency of showing both loose and strict constructionist views of the Constitution. Jefferson's views of strict constructionism is demonstrated in his letter to Gideon Granger in which he says, "our country can never be harmonious and solid while so respectable a portion of its citizens support principles which go directly to a change of the federal Constitution" (Document A). Jefferson is stating that the idea of the Federalists to be able to loosely interpret the Constitution will cause fo the country to not be harmonious and successful, displaying his strict view of the Constitution. Furthermore, his strong beliefs prevented him from giving a prayer like his predecessors. He states that, "I am aware that the practice of my predecessors may be quoted…civil powers alone have been given to the President of the U.S. and no authority to direct the religious exercises of his constituents" (Document B). Jefferson has such strong views of strict constructionism he wouldn't even follow something previous presidents practiced because of the separation of church and state. These documents showed Jefferson's strong dedication to strict constructionism, but Jefferson was not perfect in following through, such as when he followed through with the Louisiana Purchase. Realizing that despite the Constitution not allowing the federal government to purchase land, Jefferson still followed through, applying loose constructionism and purchasing land from the French. His willingness to do so was promoted by economical and geographical benefits, and demonstrates that Jefferson's presidency was not limited to the Jeffersonian Republicans view of strict constructionism.
Madison being a strong advocate of Jeffersonian Republican ideals would also stray away from a strict constructionist policy when needed. Daniel Webster addresses the Madison presidency by stating "The [Madison] administration asserts the right to fill the ranks of the regular army by compulsion…Who will show me any constitutional injunction which makes it the duty of the American people to surrender everything valuable in life, and even life itself" (Document D). Webster is complaining that Madison's administration, one that stresses the idea of strict constructionism is doing something that is completely against that policy. Nowhere in the Constitution allows for the conscription of troops for the army, and utilizing this policy only contradicts the views of a Jeffersonian Republican. Another instance in which Madison opposes and deviates from party views. John Randolph criticizes Madison of the proposed tariff from Madison's administration, he states, "I am convinced that it would be impolitic, as well as unjust, to aggravate the burdens of the people for the purpose of favoring the manufacturer; for this government created and gave power to Congress to regulate commerce…" (Document F). Randolph, a Democratic Republican is criticizing Madison's lack of commitment to the party and its core ideals of strict constructionism. He says, "Their principle now is old Federalism, vamped up into something bearing the superficial appearance of republicanism…" (Document F). Madison's proposed tariff being indicated as a principle of old Federalism shows that the characterizations of the various parties were not true as Madison did not completely enforce this idea throughout his presidency.
The Federalists were not exclusively limited to only demonstrating a loose constructionist view. The Federalists congregated to form the Hartford Convention that would propose amendments and policies that would oppose the War of 1812 along with the Republicans. One of the resolutions that the Federalists established were that "No new state shall be admitted into the Union by Congress, in virtue of the power granted by the constitution, without the concurrence of two thirds of both houses" (Document E). This application is Constitutional, as Congress is the only body capable of admitting statehood. This counters the characterization that Federalists believed in broad constructionism, they were not exclusive to affirming the idea of strict constructionism. The purpose of these documents, ironically, was to protect the Federalists from the Republicans that were abusing their powers from aspects of loose constructionism. Federalists, just like the Republicans used both elements and views of the Constitution during their times of presence.
The characterizations that Federalists were broad constructionists whereas the Jeffersonian Republicans were strict constructionists were not entirely accurate. Both political parties demonstrated the usage of both types of views on the Constitution in order to solve and fix the individual issues presented to each party. To limit and solidify these parties on these individual ideals is not accurate, both parties needed to deviate from their core beliefs in order to adapt with the time, much like how modern-day Democrats supported going into the Middle East after 9/11. Situations call for different actions than the party's or individual's beliefs.

You can connect multiple PMs to a single RowPro computer for venue racing or crew rowing. The PMs can be any mix of PM5, PM4 or PM3. The number of PMs is set by the RowPro plan: Quad plans enable 4, Crew plans enable 8, Club plans and 20-day free trials enable 16. All PMs connect to the RowPro computer via USB cables and hubs.
The most important step is the preparation. First, make sure all PMs have recent firmware. If you're in any doubt, upgrade all your PMs to the latest firmware from Concept2. Next do a 'pinhole reset' at the back of each PM to ensure it's ready. Then USB-connect each PM one at a time to the RowPro computer, start RowPro, and confirm it works.
Assign #1, 2, 3 etc. to each erg. Connect the USB hubs and cables between the PMs and the RowPro computer. All USB hubs must be mains-powered. Tape down USB cables so they're not a trip-hazard. Start RowPro, open the Indoor Rower Layout utility, and follow the steps there.
Independent PM operation - Unplug the USB cable at each PM one at a time. Make sure the PM does not have flat batteries and works appropriately by itself when not connected via USB. Reconnect the USB cable.
USB connection - Check the USB cable is correctly connected and intact. Ensure the USB connector is inserted in the PM the right way around so the beveled corners match on the plug and the socket.
USB hubs - Ensure every hub gets its power from a mains adaptor connected to a mains wall socket, and the power is turned on and working. Check the lights on the hub to confirm it's working. Replace any suspect USB hubs.
PM firmware versions - Check which PM firmware version you have. Starting from the PM Main Menu, press Other options | Utilities | Product ID. Then check the Concept2 website at www.concept2.com for the latest PM firmware, and upgrade if there is a later version.
PM reset - Insert a pen or paper clip into the recess at the rear of the PM to reset it. Note this is a very important step that often solves PM connection issues. For more info please check the instructions in your PM user manual.
Windows - Disconnect all USB cables from all your USB hubs and restart your computer. When Windows is fully ready, make sure you can hear system sounds (i.e. your volume is not on mute) and connect one USB hub to your computer. Wait to hear the USB doh-dah sound. Once you hear this sound, slowly connect each USB hub and PM in turn, listening for the USB doh-dah sound each time, until they are all connected. Then start RowPro.
OSX - Disconnect all USB cables from all your USB hubs and restart your Mac. When the Mac is fully ready, open Finder, connect one USB hub to your computer, and confirm the hub is listed in the Devices section of the sidebar at the left of Finder. Once you see your USB hub listed there, slowly connect each USB hub and PM in turn, confirming it appears in Finder each time, until they are all connected. Then start RowPro.
Concept2 Utility - If you do not hear the USB doh-dah sound in Windows, or you do not see the PM listed in Finder | Devices in OSX, or the RowPro PM connection indicator is still red, close RowPro, disconnect all USB hubs from your computer, open the Concept2 Utility - you can download this from www.concept2.com, and then connect each PM via USB one at a time so there is only one PM connected at any point. If there is a red X over the PM icon in the Concept2 Utility, please email rowing@concept2.com for assistance.
RowPro - If there is not a red X over the PM icon in the Concept2 Utility, and the RowPro PM twin connection indicator is still red, please email assist@digitalrowing.com.

It's a nice pic! But, then again, it is only a pic. No evidence that my mother & I were there. I could show you the hotel we stayed at & the receipts in Flagstaff, AZ, just a hop, skip & a jump to the Grand Canyon National Park. Still not convinced?
"Ok, maybe you went, but then again, you could have photo shopped yourself into the pic. I won't believe it till you actually go with me to the Grand Canyon National Park," you sternly respond. What is it going to take for you to believe?
Sadly, this is what Christians face all the time, trying to convince the world that because of sin Jesus Christ came, died, rose again, then was here after He rose from the dead 50 days, & went up to heaven to prepare a place for us believers in Christ. That is God the Father's plan, & Jesus Christ is the only one who could pay it for us.
So, it seems pretty evident that those that call Jesus Christ their Lord & Saviour, then you must be willing to live & die like Christ (not that you are helping Christ, but your honor).
Are you willing to accept this honor traveling down the road of life?

Англи́йская футбо́льная ли́га () — профессиональная лига, объединяющая футбольные клубы Англии и частично Уэльса. Была основана под названием Футбольная лига () в 1888 году и является старейшей футбольной лигой в мире. С 1888 по 1992 годы в ней находился высший дивизион английского чемпионата и определялся чемпион Англии. С 1992 года высшим дивизионом английского футбола стала Премьер-лига, не входящая в состав Футбольной лиги.

С 1995 года в Футбольную лигу входит 72 клуба. Они разделены на три дивизиона: Чемпионшип (EFL Championship), Лигу 1 (EFL League One) и Лигу 2 (EFL League Two). По результатам каждого сезона происходят перемещения команд: худшие клубы выбывают в более низкие дивизионы, а лучшие выходят в дивизионы уровнем выше. Кроме перемещений клубов внутри собственно Футбольной лиги, три лучших клуба из Чемпионшипа выходят в Премьер-лигу, а два худших клуба из Лиги 2 выбывают в Национальную лигу. Таким образом, Футбольная лига является одним из звеньев системы футбольных лиг Англии, занимая в ней ступени со второй по четвёртую. В Футбольной лиге выступают в основном английские клубы, за исключением нескольких клубов из Уэльса.

Под эгидой Футбольной лиги также проводятся два кубковых турнира: Кубок Английской футбольной лиги и Трофей Английской футбольной лиги.

Начиная с сезона 2016/17 Футбольная лига сменила название на Английскую футбольную лигу ().

Краткий обзор
Футбольная лига Англии является старейшей профессиональной футбольной лигой в мире. Она была основана в 1888 году директором футбольного клуба «Астон Вилла» Уильямом Макгрегором; первоначально в неё входило 12 клубов. В XX веке Футбольная лига активно развивалась, в ней создавались новые дивизионы, и к 1950 году число участников достигло девяноста двух. Из-за экономических соображений ведущие клубы Первого дивизиона Футбольной лиги приняли решение об отделении от Футбольной лиги в 1992 году, после чего была основана Премьер-лига. В связи с этим с 1992 года ведущие клубы Англии не входят в состав Футбольной лиги, хотя система повышения в классе и выбывания между Футбольной лигой и Премьер-лигой сохраняется. В общей сложности за всю историю существования Футбольной лиги в ней выступал 141 клуб (данные на начало сезона 2013/14).

Турниры

Лига

72 клуба, входящие в Футбольную лигу, распределены между тремя дивизионами: Чемпионшипом Футбольной лиги, Лигой 1 и Лигой 2 (ранее они назывались Первый дивизион Футбольной лиги, Второй дивизион Футбольной лиги и Третий дивизион Футбольной лиги соответственно; их переименование было инициировано спонсорами). В каждом из дивизионов выступает по 24 команды, каждая из которых проводит в сезоне 46 матчей в чемпионате: 23 на домашнем поле и 23 — на выезде.

За победу в матче команда получает три очка, за ничью — одно, за поражение — ни одного. По завершении сезона в каждом дивизионе несколько лучших клубов выходят в дивизион уровнем выше, несколько худших — вылетают в дивизион уровнем ниже. Так, три клуба из Чемпионшипа выходят в Премьер-лигу, а три клуба из Премьер-лиги, соответственно, вылетают в Чемпионшип. Два клуба из Лиги 2 выбывают в Национальную лигу, а два клуба из Национальной лиги получают «повышение» и выходят в Лигу 2.

Клубы, которые выходят в более высокий дивизион или выбывают в более низкий, определяются по их позициям в итоговой турнирной таблице, однако, для поддержания большего интереса к турниру, одна путёвка в вышестоящий дивизион разыгрывается в ходе плей-офф по окончании сезона. В плей-офф принимают участие четыре команды, занявшие лучшие места по итогам сезона, но не получившие право выйти в высший дивизион напрямую. Таким образом, возможна ситуация, когда команда, занявшая шестое место по итогам сезона в Чемпионшипе Английской футбольной лиги либо Лиге 1, либо седьмая команда в Лиге 2, может выйти в высший дивизион, обыграв в плей-офф команды, которые финишировали на более высоких позициях в турнирной таблице.

В Футбольной лиге выступает один клуб из Уэльса — «Ньюпорт Каунти». Этот клуб не может выступать в Премьер-лиге Уэльса и Кубке Уэльса, что также лишает его возможности квалифицироваться в клубные соревнования под эгидой УЕФА через квоту от Уэльса. Подобная практика имела место до 1996 года — побеждая в Кубке Уэльса, выступавшие в Футбольной Лиге «Рексем», «Кардифф Сити», «Суонси Сити» и «Мертир Тидвил» получали место в розыгрыше Кубка обладателей кубков.

Начиная с сезона 2004/05 Футбольная лига начала штрафовать клубы, испытывающие серьёзные финансовые проблемы и попадающие из-за этого под внешнее управление. Если это происходит до 31 марта, с клуба снимается 10 очков. В случае если клуб выводится под внешнее управление после 1 апреля, он либо также лишается 10 очков (если по окончании сезона он финишировал вне зоны вылета), либо (если он вылетает в любом случае) штраф переносится на следующий сезон.

Кубковые турниры

Футбольная лига организует два кубковых турнира: Кубок Английской футбольной лиги (до 2016 года турнир был известен как Кубок Футбольной лиги; текущее официальное название — Кубок Карабао, ) и Трофей Английской футбольной лиги (текущее официальное название — Трофей Папа-Джонс, ). Кубок Футбольной лиги был основан в 1960 году; в нём принимают участие все клубы-участники Английской футбольной лиги и Премьер-лиги, а победитель получает право участия в розыгрыше Лиги Европы УЕФА следующего сезона. Трофей Английской футбольной лиги разыгрывается между клубами, входящими в Лигу 1 и Лигу 2. Кроме того, клубы Английской футбольной лиги участвуют в розыгрыше Кубка Англии: представители Лиги 1 и Лиги 2 — начиная с первого раунда, представители Чемпионшипа — с третьего. В 1988 году Футбольная лига отпраздновала свой 100-летний юбилей проведением Турнира столетия на «Уэмбли», в котором приняли участие 16 клубов, а победу одержал «Ноттингем Форест».

История

После четырёх лет дискуссий Футбольная ассоциация Англии в итоге признала профессиональный статус футбола; это произошло 20 июля 1885 года. До этого многие клубы нелегально выплачивали зарплату «профессиональным» футболистам, что вызывало недовольство со стороны других клубов, которые придерживались принципов «любительского» футбола. Со временем всё больше и больше футбольных команд становились профессиональными, а организованной лиги для них до сих пор не существовало.

Шотландский мануфактурщик и директор «Астон Виллы» Уильям Макгрегор первым предложил внести порядок в хаотичную до этого процедуру согласования матчей между клубами. 2 марта 1888 года он обратился с официальным заявлением к руководству клубов «Блэкберн Роверс», «Болтон Уондерерс», «Престон Норт Энд», «Вест Бромвич Альбион» и секретарю «Астон Виллы», в котором сообщил о формировании Футбольной лиги.

Первое собрание состоялось 23 марта 1888 года, накануне финала Кубка Англии, в отеле «Андерсон» в Лондоне, за которым последовало второе собрание в отеле «Роял» в Манчестере 17 апреля. 8 сентября этого же года стартовал первый сезон Футбольной лиги, в котором приняли участие 12 клубов.

Каждый клуб дважды играл со всеми другими клубами: один раз — на домашнем поле, другой раз — на поле соперника. За победу команде присуждалось два очка, за ничью — одно очко (эта система не была окончательно согласована до начала сезона, в качестве альтернативы предлагалось начислять только одно очко за победу и ноль за ничью и поражение). «Престон» выиграл первый сезон Футбольной лиги, не проиграв ни одного матча, и оформил первый клубный «дубль» в истории, также выиграв в этом сезоне Кубок Англии.

В первые сезоны существования Футбольной лиги к ней присоединялись новые клубы, а в 1892 году, в связи с расформированием Футбольного альянса, Лига расширилась до двух дивизионов. Клубы, занимавшие низшие места во Втором дивизионе, должны были по окончании сезона заново подавать заявки на участие в Футбольной лиге. В 1898 году была создана система автоматического выхода в высший дивизион и вылета в низший, когда оба дивизиона Лиги были расширены до 18 команд. Клубы, выбывающие во Второй дивизион и выходящие в Первый, определялись в ходе тестовых матчей между двумя клубами, занявшими низшие места в Первом дивизионе и двумя клубами, занявшими высшие места во Втором дивизионе. Эта система подверглась критике в первый же сезон после её введения, после того, как «Сток» и «Бернли» провели договорной матч, который обеспечил им обоим участие в Первом дивизионе в следующем сезоне.

«Астон Вилла» и «Сандерленд» доминировали в первые годы существования Футбольной лиги; через несколько лет в Лигу вошли северные клубы, например «Ньюкасл Юнайтед» и «Манчестер Юнайтед», добившиеся определённых успехов. «Ливерпуль» выиграл первый свой чемпионский титул в 1901 году. Лишь в начале XX века клубы с юга Англии вроде «Арсенала», «Челси» и «Тоттенхэма» начали утверждаться в Лиге, и лишь в 1931 году «Арсенал» первым из южных клубов выиграл чемпионат Англии.

После начала Первой мировой войны чемпионат не проводился на протяжении четырёх сезонов, возобновившись лишь в 1919 году, когда Первый и Второй дивизионы были расширены до 22 команд. В следующем 1920 году ведущие клубы из Южной футбольной лиги вошли в состав Футбольной лиги, сформировав Третий дивизион Футбольной лиги, который был переименован в 1921 году в Третий южный дивизион, так как параллельно из новых клубов был создан Третий северный дивизион. По одному клубу из каждого из этих дивизионов получали путёвку во Второй дивизион, а два худших клуба Второго дивизиона вылетали в соответствующую зону Третьего дивизиона. В связи с тем, что в Третьем дивизионе было две зоны, южная и северная, иногда возникали сложности с распределением вылетевших из Второго дивизиона клубов по зонам. Поэтому ряд клубов из центральных графств Англии вроде «Мэнсфилд Тауна» и «Уолсолла» в зависимости от ситуации перемещали то в южный, то в северный дивизион.

В 1925 году было принято новое правило офсайда, согласно которому для фиксирования положения «вне игры» число игроков между нападающим и линией ворот сокращалось с трёх до двух. Это привело к значительному увеличению количества забитых мячей в матчах. В 1939 году были введены номера на футболках игроков, а в 1951 году стали использоваться мячи белого цвета. В 1956 году состоялся первый матч под светом прожекторов: это была встреча между «Портсмутом» и «Ньюкасл Юнайтед». После этого стали проводиться вечерние матчи посреди недели.

В 1939 году чемпионат был вновь прерван в связи с началом Второй мировой войны, на этот раз на семь сезонов. В 1950 году Третий дивизион был расширен до 24 команд в обоих зонах (Север и Юг), что увеличило общее число клубов в Футбольной лиге до 92. В 1958 году было принято решение о реорганизации Третьего дивизиона и создании общеанглийского Третьего дивизиона и Четвёртого дивизиона. Клубы в верхней половине турнирной таблицы Третьего южного и Третьего северного дивизионов сформировали Третий дивизион, а клубы из нижней половины Третьего южного и Третьего северного дивизионов — Четвёртый дивизион. Между этими двумя дивизионами каждый сезон перемещаются четыре клуба (два вылетают, два выходят). Во Второй дивизион из Третьего выходило две команды до 1974 года, когда количество этих команд увеличилось до трёх.

В сезоне 1960/61 состоялся первый розыгрыш нового клубного турнира для клубов Лиги, Кубка Футбольной лиги. Первым обладателем Кубка Лиги стала «Астон Вилла». Первое время крупные клубы не уделяли этому турниру большого внимания, но в итоге Кубок Лиги прочно утвердился в футбольном календаре Англии, хотя и оставался менее престижным, чем Кубок Англии.

В 1965 году были введены замены в матчах для травмированных игроков, а в следующем году было разрешено проводить замены в тактических целях.

Начиная с сезона 1976/77, клубы, набравшие по итогам сезона одинаковое количество очков, распределялись по местам по разнице забитых и пропущенных мячей, а не по коэффициенту среднего количества голов (забитые мячи делились на пропущенные). Это было сделано с целью стимулирования атакующей игры, так как по разнице мячей атакующие команды получали большее преимущество, чем по старой системе среднего коэффициента. В случае одинакового количества очков и одинаковой разницы мячей приоритет получал клуб, забивший большее количество голов. Был всего лишь один сезон, когда это правило потребовалось для определения чемпиона: в сезоне 1988/89, когда «Арсенал» обыграл «Ливерпуль» со счётом 2:0 на «Энфилде» в последнем матче сезона. «Арсенала» сравнялся с «Ливерпулем» по количеству очков и разнице мячей, а по количеству забитых мячей обошел его, став чемпионом.

В 1981 году произошло ещё одно важное изменение правил: за победу стали назначать три очка вместо двух, что также было сделано с целью стимулирования атакующего футбола (однако это правило не применялось ФИФА на чемпионатах мира вплоть до чемпионата мира 1994 года.) С 1987 года стали проводиться матчи плей-офф, в которых определялись команды, выходящие в более высокий дивизион. Тогда же было введено правило автоматического выхода и вылета для одного клуба между Четвёртым дивизионом и Футбольной конференцией, заменившее необходимость ежегодной подачи заявки на переизбрание в Футбольную лигу. Это также объединило все дивизионы чемпионата Англии в единую пирамиду национальных лиг. В сезоне 1991/92 количество клубов в Первом дивизионе вновь составило 22 команды, а уже в сезоне 1995/96 вновь снизилось до 20. К началу 1990-х годов центральным вопросом в Футбольной лиге стал вопрос о доходах.

Деньги стали иметь всё большее значение в английском футболе. В феврале 1979 года состоялся первый трансфер футболиста стоимостью £1 млн: Тревор Фрэнсис перешёл из «Бирмингем Сити» в «Ноттингем Форест». Первым игроком стоимостью £2 млн стал Тони Котти (перешёл из «Вест Хэм Юнайтед» в «Эвертон» в июле 1988 года). До основания Премьер-лиги самым дорогим игроком в английском футболе был Дин Саундерс, который перешёл из «Дерби Каунти» в «Ливерпуль» за £2,9 млн в 1991 году. Первым игроком стоимостью £3 млн стал Алан Ширер, который перешёл из «Саутгемптона» в «Блэкберн Роверс» в июле 1992 года, накануне первого сезона в Премьер-лиге.

С 1983 года Футбольная лига имеет официального спонсора своего основного турнира. Ниже представлен список спонсоров Лиги и соответствующие название турнира:

 1983—1986: Canon (Canon League)
 1986—1987: газета «Today» (Today League)
 1987—1993: Barclays Bank (Barclays League)
 1993—1996: Endsleigh Insurance (Endsleigh League)
 1996—2004: Nationwide Building Society (Nationwide Football League)
 2004—2010: Coca-Cola (Coca-Cola Football League)
 2010—2013: npower (npower Football League)

Клубные турниры, которые проводятся Футбольной лигой, имеют других спонсоров.

Ещё одним источником доходов Футбольной лиги являются телевизионные контракты. В 1980-х годах ряд наземных телетранслирующих компаний соперничали за право показа матчей Футбольной лиги, но с появлением спутникового транслирующей компании «British Sky Broadcasting» (Sky TV), которая активно искала привлекательные программы для создания постоянной клиентской базы и готовой платить крупные суммы денег, ситуация кардинально изменилась. Клубы высшего дивизиона Футбольной лиги требовали больше денег от Лиги, угрожая в случае отказа выйти из её состава. В 1992 году угроза была воплощена в реальность, когда клубы Первого дивизиона образовали Премьер-лигу, выйдя из состава Футбольной лиги и подписали эксклюзивный контракт на телетрансляции матчей со «Sky TV». Премьер-лига сохранила связи с Футбольной лигой, включая систему вылета и выхода клубов по окончании каждого сезона, но Футбольная лига осталась в гораздо более тяжелой ситуации: без своих лучших клубов и высоких доходов от телетрансляций. Однако, разрыв в классе между представителями двух высших дивизионов английского футбола после отделения Премьер-лиги вырос вслед за неравенством доходов команд, представлявших разные дивизионы. Если раньше клубы, добивавшиеся права выступать в Первом дивизионе обычно удерживались на этом уровне по крайней мере несколько сезонов, то начиная с первого же сезона Премьер-лиги на протяжении 9 сезонов как минимум один из клубов возвращался в Футбольную лигу, а в сезоне 1997/98 эта судьба постигла всех трех новичков. Исключениями стали лишь «Блэкберн Роверс», ставший чемпионом Англии спустя сезон после повышения, и «Ньюкасл Юнайтед», в течение 4 сезонов после повышения завершавший сезон в шестерке лидеров. Это правило стало справедливым и для вылетавших в Футбольную лигу команд (они получали солидные «выплаты-парашюты» от Премьер-лиги). В течение 12 сезонов после образования Премьер-лиги по крайней мере один из вылетевших клубов возвращался в неё спустя сезон.

Также, отделение Премьер-лиги стало причиной финансовых проблем, постигших многие клубы Футбольной лиги, вылетевших из высшего дивизиона и не решивших задачу по возвращению в неё. Также по клубам нанесло серьезный удар банкротство спонсора Премьер-лиги — ITV Digital. Некоторые клубы откатились на несколько лиг вниз, но ни один из них не прекратил существование. Лишь в сезоне 2001/02 лондонский клуб «Уимблдон», находившийся в тяжелейшем финансовом положении, переехал в город Милтон Кинс. Решение было одобрено Футбольной лигой и стало беспрецедентным для клубов такого уровня. В результате большинство болельщиков перестали поддерживать клуб, переключившись на возрожденный клуб, начавший свою историю в девятой по рангу лиге Англии.

Продажа телевизионных прав на показ матчей, проводимых под эгидой Футбольной лиги:
 …
 2001—2004: £315 млн на 3 года — ITV Digital. Контракт не исполнен, 27 марта 2002 года в ITV Digital введено внешнее управление.
 2002—2006: £95 млн на 4 года — Sky Sports
 2006—2009: £109,5 млн на 3 года — Sky Sports
 2009—2012: £264 млн на 3 года — Sky Sports, BBC
 2012—2015: £195 млн на 3 года — Sky Sports

С 1992 года Футбольная лига уменьшилась количественно до 70 клубов. С 1995 года и по настоящее время в Футбольной лиге выступает 72 клуба. Дивизионы Лиги поменяли свои названия. Старый Второй дивизион стал новым Первым дивизионом, Третий дивизион стал Вторым, а Четвёртый — Третьим. Важнейшим приоритетом Футбольной лиги является обеспечение её финансирования из-за ограниченности доступных ресурсов. Позитивные изменения в этом направлении связаны с подписанием спонсорского соглашения с компанией «Coca-Cola». Первым из изменений стал ребрендинг Лиги, включающий переименование Первого дивизиона в Чемпионшип, Второго дивизиона — в Первую лигу, а Третьего дивизиона — во Вторую лигу.

Q: Distributing business app on App Store that requires an account Our business is currently looking at developing iPhone versions of applications we build for our clients. The apps are currently used internally within these businesses and are not (currently) web-facing.
A stumbling block seems to be deployment - requiring all of our clients to sign up for the iPhone enterprise programme won't work, as this is a big ask for companies who outsource their IT infrastructure (e.g. this simple task will probably end up costing lots of time and money and become a project in itself!).
I've been doing some research and haven't found a straight answer so far - is Apple happy to distribute applications which require logins to existing (paid for, business) services? I guess my main examples in this case would be spotify (not business but requires paid account) or Salesforce.com (again, requires paid account).

A: While there are many examples of it being allowed (Spotify, Twitter and Facebook clients, etc.), here's one which Apple rejected for requiring registration:
http://readitlaterlist.com/blog/2010/08/version-2-2-rejected-new-rejection-reason-from-apple-may-have-major-implications/
However many people on Hacker News considered this to be a mistake on the reviewer's part, rather than something in Apple's guidelines:
http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1626034

A:
Is Apple happy to distribute applications which require logins to existing (paid for, business) services?

Yes, there are very many examples:

*

*Amazon.co.uk and all the other shopping apps might be examples

*Streetcar

*iDisk (by Apple)

*Find My iPhone (by Apple)

*Sky+

*...

A: Sklivvz is right, the only gotcha is they will already need a login to your service. If you let them create and pay for an account inside the app, you will have to use Apple's in app purchase and Apple gets 30%.
cf App Review Guidelines, section 11 (Purchasing).
Alternatively, you can launch Mobile Safari from the App, and after registering you can pass their login details back to the app using a custom URL handler (eg. myappid://somestring/) here is an explanation of custom URL schemes http://www.idev101.com/code/Objective-C/custom_url_schemes.html

Take me away to the rolling hills of a far off land. To a field of golden wheat, Where I can fall to my knees and be swallowed up by the beauty of it all.
Take me back a couple years when I didn't know all of these things. Back when we were just you and I simplicity at it's best.
Take me there where there is no return the place where I am free to fly. To the one time when I was uninhibited and I was the goddess of the sky.

Arizona Man Stabs A Teen Listening To Rap To Death Because He Didn't Feel Safe
News by Joey Jordan Published on 09 Jul,2019
Arizona Man Fatally Stabbed A Teen Boy Listening To A Rap Song
An Arizona man was arrested after he fatally stabbed a boy listening to a rap song last week.
The encounter happened last Thursday at a Circle K in Peoria.
A man, Michael Adams, 27, walked up to a 17-year-old boy, who was listening to rap music and stabbed him in the throat.
He said that the teen had done nothing to provoke him and he attacked him to prevent the probable attack which he had faced previously from the people listening to rap.
Adams has been held in a Maricopa County jail with a $1 million cash bond.

Police reported that the defendant told them the encounter happened last Thursday at a Circle K in Peoria, around a 25-minute drive northwest of Phoenix.
According to the witnesses, the man, Michael Adams, 27, walked up to a 17-year-old boy, who was listening to rap music and stabbed him in the throat. The teen, Elijah Al-Amin reportedly stumbled outside the Circle K before succumbing to death.

According to Fox News, Adams told police he felt "unsafe" by the teen's choice of music. He also said he had been attacked previously by the people listening to rap. He went on saying the teen had done nothing to provoke him and he attacked him to prevent the probable attack.
Meanwhile, the Arizona Department of Correction said Adam was released from jail just a couple of days before the attack. His attorney told his client has a history of mental illness and was released from the prison without any medication.
Adams has been held in a Maricopa County jail with a $1 million cash bond. He is scheduled to appear in court next on July 15.
