Q: Align image to the top with "match_parent" I've got a problem with my application. I've a image which goes across the whole screen (ImageView) with this code in xml:
    <ImageView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    android:src="@drawable/achtergrond"
    android:scaleType="fitCenter" />

My problem is that the image is centered in the imageview itself. It needs to be centered up as you can see in the next picture:

The left image is what I have, with the image in the middle. The right is what I want, the image should be up in the whole layout, I need to set my image to match_parent to have it fill as background (I didn't set it as background because it would be stretched then).
I hope I'm missing something obvious! Thanks for helping me in advance!

A: <ImageView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:src="@drawable/achtergrond"
    android:scaleType="fitStart" />

The biggest challenge facing South Africa's disadvantaged youth is education. Section 29 of the constitution guarantees "everyone" the right to a basic education and further education, which the state, "through reasonable measures, must make progressively available and accessible".
An obligation to make that education free for those who cannot afford it is implied, as is an obligation to make sure that all South Africans receive the same quality education, whatever their economic circumstances.
Many poor parents nevertheless make enormous sacrifices to pay school fees and buy uniforms and supplies, but even after the struggle to get a child into a school is won, the vast majority still face major problems: crumbling infrastructures, underfunded or non-existent learning materials, inadequate security and a shortage of qualified, effective teachers. It is not surprising that so many learners cannot achieve under these circumstances, or that so many grow discouraged and drop out – to the despair of parents who see years of hard work go to waste.
Core mathematics is vital in many professions; any child planning to study engineering, medicine, actuarial science, finance or the physical sciences needs to achieve at least 60% in matric mathematics. According to a South African Institute of Race Relations report released on 29 January 2013, only one learner in 20 who wrote matric mathematics or science in 2012 passed with a mark higher than 50%, let alone 60%. Put simply, less than 3% of the 2002 Grade ones are now eligible to study university degrees that require mathematics. "If I had one wish, it would be that 70% of learners who pass mathematics obtain 60% or more. Can you imagine the effect this would have on our country and its people?" says Chantyl Mulder, Senior Executive at the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA). If this dream is going to become a reality, disadvantaged learners and their parents need to see core mathematics as an educational priority.

Q: HTML:Image won't display My image won't display for no reason. I am a noob but I can't figure it out. The image loads from the url so I know it's not that. So I'm pretty sure it's my problem with the coding.

A: Your URL is pointing to non-image resource. It's actually pointing to an HTML document.
In URL, change www by dl and remove ?dl=0.
This is valid image URL :
https://dl.dropbox.com/s/rm27v6s4nj885qu/IMG_0071.PNG

Alternatively, you can replace dl=0 to raw=1. This is also valid image URL:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rm27v6s4nj885qu/IMG_0071.PNG?raw=1

Not always required but as a good practice I'll suggest using quotes for values. Also as mentioned in comments seperate attributes from each other with white space.

source : Mickel's Tutorial

A: I hope, you must use the url of image, But you are referring the url preview pane of dropbox.
It is the actual url for image.
You also need some improvisation with your code, as below

  <img src="https://uc215f04ebb05efbc98d874fefb2.previews.dropboxusercontent.com/p/thumb/AA767gGwgVfZ9rVS7PJbtIOR3eQsWN4mrXjNjVJH3JKjhI5eE7JOd-eQJwydUx1gPkpE3zkAnMSN3-1KEtFN86x-CdWnREg0mQ6hm7APBCuifux1ECDivRuLkrikn1sY_r20EmBWucKHyy-Ps5VPB8ehkUB6x0y9kSb3QzYpP8fOo7IeyR6IaCYZ66mxrJiUiUtzTAV3ddESpRV7lSRaumsSyVPc4k1RbUBS3-_JDnP8Qv6M42x2g7bZDy9vdhhIOZaO585_XQHegapCJ-8bnwLGt-VEy9nud0avi_gzMSpXxx3EXt_NYTWMfFqfstb2HFMVb7WK7jxkSRSX5eE5ck3Q0bdEPAKp1aPnClU2KqI-OgUea6ApGp4G0H4Q3l3UyOjfomtn-SndAAaUzPbaU1HK/p.png?fv_content=true&size_mode=5" height="300" width="250" />

It will work without any issue. You are not referring proper url that the actual issue.
Also, keep tag properties in quote "" if required.
Like

Thanks.

with some basic definitions. A share of stock is literally a share in the ownership of a company. When you buy a share of stock, you're entitled to a small fraction of the assets and earnings of that company. Assets include everything the company owns (buildings, equipment, trademarks), and earnings are all of the money the company brings in from selling its products and services.
There are three stock markets in Pakistan that are Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE), Lahore Stock Exchange (LSE) and Islamabad Stock Exchange (ISE).
The Karachi Stock Exchange Limited (KSE), was a stock exchange located at the Stock Exchange Building (SEB) on Stock Exchange Road, in the heart of Karachi's Business District, I. I. Chundrigar Road, Karachi, Sindh Province of Pakistan. It is now incorporated in the Pakistan Stock Exchange along with the other two bourses of Pakistan, the Lahore Stock Exchange and the Islamabad Stock Exchange.

Kot Addu Power Plant produces 1,600 MW of electricity. On April 18, 2005 the Company was formally listed on all three Stock Exchanges of Pakistan.
We invested in this company because government is invested in power projects and this sector is becoming secure and stable.
D.M. Textile Mills Limited was incorporated on 28th May 1958 as a public limited company in Pakistan under the companies Act 1913 and is quoted on stock exchanges at Karachi and Islamabad. The company is one of the premier manufacturers of textile products in Pakistan, fully equipped not only with the modern machinery and equipment but also professional management and staff. The growth of the company has proved this combination of excellence.
The main reason of investing in this sector and company is because Pakistan is famous in textile industries and this industry is much more profitable and stable as compare to others.

We purchased it because its share prices were low.

Sazgar is a premier manufacturer of CNG 4 Stroke Auto Rickshaw (3 Wheeler) and Automotive Wheel Rims. With manufacturing facilities based in Pakistan and a Global Dealer Network, Sazgar is leading the market in Pakistan and also exporting to international markets.
We found this company good for investment because there was increased trend in share price.
Company was earning profit, so we sold it.
Located in the industrial zone of Hub about 35 kilometers from Karachi, Baluchistan Wheels Limited was setup in 1980 for the manufacturing of steel wheels for automobiles with technical collaboration of GKN Sankey Limited UK. The plant has a covered area of 16,000 square meters and builds on a land of 97,000 square meters.

The company is a corresponding member of European Tire & Rim technical Organization (ETRTO) and its quality management system is certified for ISO-9002 by AIB Vincotte of Belgium.
Deference between last highest and current price was very high so we purchased it on assumption of that it will make progress in future.

We found cement industry stable and we expect growth in this company so we buy Facto shares.
In just one reading its share prices decreased from74.41 to 71.91 so we sold it.
Buying of company: Jah. Sidd comp.
Jahangir Siddiqui & Co. Ltd. was incorporated (under Companies Ordinance 1984) in 1991 as public unquoted company. The Company is presently listed on Karachi Stock Exchange. The company is also a corporate member of Karachi Stock Exchange and Islamabad Stock Exchange. JS Group's principal activities are trading of securities, maintaining strategic investments, consultancy services, underwriting, etc. The company has a long term rating of AA (Double A) and short term rating of A1+ (A one plus) assigned to it by Pakistan Credit Rating Agency. Jahangir Siddiqui & Co. Ltd. and its subsidiary companies are involved in trading of securities, maintaining strategic investments, investment advisory, brokerage, asset management, agency telecommunication, commercial banking, and power.
Its shares prices consistently decreasing from last week so we found it profitable in near future, that's why we take risk and purchased its shares to get profit.
We were getting loss from its shares prices, so we think to sell its share to avoid more loss.
We found this company profitable in future, so we decided to buy its share.
Profit: Initially we invested R.s 19,969 in the stock market to get the profit and in the end after selling all shares of the companies, our closing balance is R.s 20,049, its mean we got profit of R.s 80 in the end.
Returns overall investments are R.s 80 and that is a profit which we gained in the end.
You can make a lot of money investing in stocks or trading in the stock market, but it is not something for the new investors. Care must be taken when it comes to stock investments. The investor must have a solid understanding of stocks and how they trade in the market or risk losing money in a volatile type of investment. Learning how to read stock tables or a stock quote is a must if you are planning to be a serious investor in stocks. It is not hard to read a stock quote once you know what the different terms and symbols stand for.
We have learned a lot from this project for example we can make a lot of money from investing in stock market. Sometimes we faced loss in investing in stock market but sometimes we got profit. One thing we learn that due to solid understanding of stock market we can make a lot of money by investing in stock market. This exercise of investing in stock market proved beneficial for us.
In this project we invested in different companies and we found Jah. Sidd, D.M. tex and Bal. Wheels are good for short term investment to gain profit and Jute sector is very risky and unpredictable because there is a repaid decrease in Associated Services and we make lose in it within a week. Power sector is stable and good for investment for long term because there are many upcoming projects and investment made by government in this sector which can cause growth in this sector.
Overall stock market trend was normal. It's proved beneficial for us in the end because we got profit of R.s 193 after investing R.s 19,985 in stock market that reached to R.s 20,178 without having a solid understanding of stock market.

Google is expanding the applications of the Google Lens, allowing its machine learning algorithm to interact with the real world in real time. Until now, the image recognition system was mainly limited to Google Assistant and Google Photos; but it will soon be expanded to integration with the Android Camera app and Google Maps.
In the coming weeks, Android users will be able to point their phone cameras at objects in the real world and see information cards appear on the display. A Style Match feature will allow Google Lens to identify clothes and accessories, and then match them with similar items that fit the style.
Similarly, Real Time Results allows users to point their cameras at things to receive Google search results. This could be things like concert posters for information about the performer, or at menus to figure out what unfamiliar food items are.
Google Lens in the Camera app is also capable of recognising text in the real world. Allowing users to copy text directly to the clipboard from whatever they are pointing their phones at.
A more advanced application of the Google Lens is the integration with Google Maps to achieve what the company is calling a Visual Positioning System or VPS. It's essentially a complementary system to GPS which uses the camera to establish the user's location using landmarks.
According to Google, this is done by the Google Lens being able to recognise specific buildings through Street View, and then measuring the distance to those buildings. Combined, this gives a more accurate location than only relying on satellite based GPS.
It also allows the Google Maps navigation to display on-screen navigation through Street View. Clearly showing users which direction to turn based on what the smartphone is looking at the moment.

Па̀дина е село в Южна България. То се намира в община Ардино, област Кърджали.

География

Село Падина се намира в източната част на Западните Родопи, на 10 – 15 km западно от границата им с Източните Родопи, на около 29 km запад-югозападно от град Кърджали и 10 km юг-югозападно от град Ардино.

Състои се от пет махали: Падина, Звегор, Байчево, Жеден и Узунова. Историята е обединила тези пет махали в едно родопско село разположено в планината, взело името на най-старата махала, която е разположена в подножието на връх Свети Илия – висок 1001,9 m.

Село Падина има континентално-средиземноморски климат, който се отличава с мека и влажна зима и горещо и сухо лято. Агроклиматичните ресурси са подходящи за отглеждането на топлолюбиви земеделски култури – предимно ориенталски тютюн, картофи, ливадни фуражни култури, за пасища и трайни насаждения. Съвсем малки участъци са благоприятни за отглеждане на захарно цвекло, ягоди и някои зеленчукови култури (домати, чушки, фасул и други). През първото десетилетие на 21 век са обособени няколко ябълкови градини, който дават реколта с отлични вкусови качества. В селото работи мандра, която произвежда висококачествени продукти (кашкавал, кисело мляко, масло, топени и пушени сирена и извара).

При преброяването на населението към 1 февруари 2011 г., от обща численост 982 лица, за 515 лица е посочена принадлежност към "българска" етническа група, за 4 – към "турска", за 38 – към други, за 8 – не се самоопределят и за 417 не е даден отговор.

История
Според предания, махалата се е образувала от заселили се навремето овчари, докарали на паша стадата си в района, и с течение на времето се е развила и обособила до днешния си вид.

Селото – тогава махала с име Макмулу, Макмулар – е в България от 1912 г. Преименувано е на Падина с министерска заповед № 2820, обнародвана на 14 август 1934 г. Признато е от махала за село с министерска заповед № 1014, обнародвана на 11 май 1942 г.

През 1981 г. от Падина е отделено село Байчево, което през 2000 г. отново е присъединено към Падина.

A nice shot made in Maassluis.
Certainly got their money's worth out of her. She's done remarkably well.
She ia an oldie indeed, but still going strong Paul!
A memory of her as SMIT ROTTERDAM in home waters at Greenock in 1979 when she came to take away a rig I think.
2013 sold to GMS, The Hague, Netherlands als GLOBAL DESTINY.
i have been reading around that the gms company is a ship scrapping company, is it possible the london and rotterdam will be used as tugs to tow scrap ships to the breaking yards.
people are saying they are going to be scrapped after they do a tow from africa to india. but what i dont understand is if they are going to be drydocked is it possible they are just going to tow scrap and not end up as scrap??????
oh i see up at the first post that they went up for sale at 3. 500 000 dollars.
3.5 million dollars seems cheap for a tug that size ?

CSU's Rashard Higgins continues to hit big

Colorado State wide receiver Rashard Higgins (82) pulls away from the Wyoming defense for a 73-yard touchdown in the third quarter Saturday at Lubick Field at Hughes Stadium. Higgins leads the nation with 12 touchdown catches.
By Mike Brohard | mbrohard@prairiemountainmedia.com, Mike Brohard For Times-Call, Mike Brohard Reporter-Herald, Mike Brohard Sports Editor and Reporter-Herald | Loveland Reporter-Herald
October 26, 2014 at 4:30 p.m.
FORT COLLINS — For Rashard Higgins, it doesn't take much.
Just a bit of space has allowed him to find open space. When he finds it, the speed comes out and he's gone.
Short passes or long, it hasn't seemed to matter. Single coverage or safety help, no problem. He has become exactly what Jim McElwain sought when coming to Colorado State, and that's a big time playmaker.
"His patience is actually really good," McElwain said. "He sets those things up and then all the sudden, hey-diddle-diddle, dude-down-the-middle. That's really good stuff."
Higgins has built himself quite a resume in his true sophomore season. He now sits with 59 catches for 1,137 yards and 12 touchdowns this season, the latter of the two categories leading the nation. The touchdowns are a single-season record, the yardage ranking fouth in a campaign, the catches one shy of cracking the top 10, and the Rams still have five games remaining, including a bowl date.
His career numbers already have cracked the top 10 in two categories — 1,974 yards (tied for ninth), 18 scores (tied for fifth) — and with five more catches, he'll break that list.
"I expect big plays out of myself," Higgins said. "I expect to turn a 1-yard route into an 80, turn it into 90. That's just the goals I have for myself, and others expect that out of me, as well."
One of them is quarterback Garrett Grayson. On the two touchdown catches Higgins had in the 45-31 win over Wyoming, neither was a deep route. Instead, one was a short pass, the other down the line of scrimmage.
In both instances, Higgins displayed the patience McElwain was talking about. He reads his blocks well, and he's been getting some help down field from fellow receivers. He's also not shy with a stiff arm or throwing a move to spin a defender around.
"It's a really good feeling to be able to throw a negative-3-yard route and have him take it 80 yards," Grayson said. "Like I said, any time I can get that kid the ball I'm trying to do that. That maybe something I do try to force at times, but he saves me a lot of times.
"Just look at (the Utah State game), I threw a ball into triple coverage and he made a great play. That's just a guy I try to get the ball as much as I can because I know he's that playmaker for us. He's helped us out a lot."
Utah State was the first team to truly commit extra attention to him, and Higgins still had 10 catches for 187 yards, but he didn't hit the end zone. Wyoming didn't pay any special attention to him, and none of the corners played press coverage on him. That turned out to be a mistake.
But the Rams are also prepared to make sure he remains a focus in the game plan, no matter what future defenses may come up with.
"He's a special player. He's got a long ways to go for a consistency standpoint," McElwain said. "We're starting to move him around just a little bit more so team's can't just say, 'hey, there he is,' which is something I think that will help us and help some other guys as well.
"He's a pretty darn good ball player."
That, Grayson said, he knew from the start. This good, however? He can't say he envisioned it all.
"When I told Coach Mac last summer we need to get this guy on the field, he's going to be a playmaker for us, I obviously knew he was going to be good and doing the things he's kind of doing, but I don't know if I knew it would be this good and this year," Grayson said.
For Higgins, it's all been fun and game. He said he loved the Bronze Boot, he loves making defenders look silly, but as for leading the nation in touchdown catches, well, he also hopes he's not done.
"It feels good, but I am not where I want to be at yet," Higgins said. "I'm trying to lead the team to another bowl game, and we are trying to stay climbing the mountain, and this is part of it."

Why Sweden is the best place for foraging
Swedes have been making the most of the country's abundant natural pantry for centuries, spending summer weekends picking mushrooms, berries and edible plants in the forest. Then, in 2004, came the New Nordic food movement, a manifesto signed by a dozen visionary Scandinavian chefs that championed local and seasonal ingredients, and put foraging at the heart of cooking at many of Sweden's top restaurants. Here is why we think Sweden is one of the best foraging spots in the world
THE FREEDOM TO ROAM
The Right of Public Access (or allemansrätten as it's known in Swedish) is a unique principle, dating back to the Middle Ages and protected by law, which allows everyone to roam pretty much anywhere in the countryside (except for private residences, cultivated land or within 70 metres of a house). Whether you fancy kayaking or swimming in a lake, fishing on the coast, camping in a beautiful meadow or foraging in the forest, being at one with nature is positively encouraged. The only caveats? Don't disturb and don't destroy.
Per Pixel Petersson
THE WILD SWEDISH SUPERFOOD
'According to the government, only four per cent of all berries in Sweden are picked each year,' says Marcus Eldh, founder of WildSweden, who often incorporates foraging into his wildlife adventure tours. One of the most abundant – and packed with antioxidants – is the Nordic blueberry (or bilberry), which can be found on low-to-the-ground shrubs that grow everywhere from the roadside to deep in the forest. Another staple of the Swedish diet – and also known for their health benefits – are arctic cloudberries (similar to raspberries but smaller and orange) and lingonberries (often served up alongside meatballs), both of which are ripe for picking during the summer.
Moa Karlberg
THE MICHELIN-STANDARD CHEFS BEHIND DIY FINE DINING
Four chefs from Michelin-starred restaurants, one concept: Edible Country is a DIY restaurant spread across 100 million acres with a foraging-based menu. Between them, the chefs – Titti Qvarnström, Niklas Ekstedt, Jacob Holmström and Anton Bjuhr – have created nine dishes that each represent a season, a part of the country and their love of nature. For instance, for spring in the north, fire-grilled whitefish and green leaves; for summer in central Sweden, golden chanterelles with ramson berries and herb salad. Wooden tables have been set up in all kinds of knockout back-to-nature locations, including the edge of Skiro Lake in Smaland (an hour's drive from Kalmar or Växjö) and Gunnebo House and Gardens, which sits in a nature reserve just 15 minutes from Gothenburg. Book seats at the tables online, plus add-ons such as a cooking kit with basic supplies, a local chef, or a foraging guide who will help you seek out the best ingredients.
Tina Stafrén
The best time to find edible mushrooms is late summer when the temperature has dropped and there's no frost on the ground. Swedes can be secretive about their favourite spots for finding, say, sought-after golden chanterelles, but if you're looking for guidance (of the roughly 10,000 species growing in the wild, only around 100 types are edible, and actually taste good) there are plenty of professional foragers who run sessions all across the country. This September, Eldh is organising a 'forage for mushrooms and berries in Dalarna' weekend with nature guide Helena Björnström, which will involve learning about mushrooms, making a campfire and frying up the bounty that's picked. 'You only have to look around and you can spot 40 species all in one go,' he says.
Miriam Preis
THE ON-THE-DOORSTEP APPEAL
With more than half of Sweden covered in forest (and 97 per cent completely uninhabited), there are plenty of spots to satisfy all foraging needs, whether you're interested in finding nettles for making soup or herbs and edible flowers for salads. Just be aware that some plants are protected so they must not be picked and special rules apply in national parks and nature reserves. 'There is access to nature everywhere; even from Stockholm you can easily take public transport to a forest to pick mushrooms and berries,' continues Eldh. Other go-to places for foraging include Vättlefjäll nature reserve near Gothenburg, in Ormanäs forest near Malmö and on the border of Swedish Lapland. 'Here in the north we have all kinds of mushrooms and berries,' says Donald Eriksson who runs Aurora Borealis, a company best known for offering local food as part of its dog-sledding tours. 'We put the mushrooms into a reindeer soup, buy moose from the hunters and make our own lingonberry jelly to go with it.'
THE SUPER-TASTY SEAWEED
Of course, it's not just the forest that's a natural larder: the sea is a great source for foraging too. In West Sweden, nutrition-packed seaweed is considered a delicacy. One company offering foraging and cooking classes, as well as seaweed safaris where guests learn how to harvest in a sustainable way, is Catxalot in Havstenssund, which supplies seaweed to some of the country's top restaurants.

Cricket-Yorkshire says all members of the coaching team have left the club
LONDON (Reuters) All members of Yorkshires coaching team have left, including director of cricket Martyn Moxon and coach Andrew Gale, the club said Friday as it pledged to regain and rebuild trust after being rocked by accusations from institutional racism.
First-team coach and former captain Gale was suspended last month as part of an investigation into an alleged anti-Semitic tweet he sent in 2010 while Moxon was absent from work due to a stress-related illness.
The departure follows allegations made by former player Azeem Rafiq, who is of Pakistani descent and former captain of the England Under-19s.
Rafiq said he had been racially insulted and that he felt like an outsider in Yorkshire and that he had even considered suicide.
The scandal has shocked English sport, costing Yorkshire sponsors and the right to host England internationals, and embroiled some of the biggest names in English cricket.
Yorkshire, whose director Mark Arthur stepped down last month, said in a statement that a new cricket director will be appointed soon and a new coaching team will be recruited.
The medical team in the back room, supplied by an outside clinic, had also left.
Significant changes are needed at the Yorkshire County Cricket Club and we are determined to take whatever steps are necessary to regain confidence, said new chairman Kamlesh Patel.
The decisions announced today have been difficult to make but are in the best interests of the club. Without making significant changes to the way we are led, we cannot move forward with the past to become a culture that is progressive and inclusive.
Patel said the club had a huge job to do and was determined to learn from the mistakes they made.
We want to make the Yorkshire County Cricket Club a place for everyone from all backgrounds. To do this we need to rebuild our culture and instill positive values in everyone associated with Yorkshire, he added.

Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner burst onto the world stage through a poetry performance that moved many world leaders to tears at the opening of the United Nations Climate Summit in New York in 2014. The then 25-year-old poet and climate activist demonstrated the impact a poem can have. In a piece titled "Dear Matafele Peinem," she managed to capture the stark reality of climate change in just over three minutes. Since then, her writing and performances have been featured on CNN, Democracy Now, Mother Jones, the Huffington Post, NBC News, National Geographic, Nobel Women's Initiative, and more.
In February 2017, the University of Arizona Press published her first collection of poetry, Iep Jāltok: Poems from a Marshallese Daughter. With her cousins, she co-founded the environmental non-profit Jo-Jikum, which empowers Marshallese youth to seek solutions to climate change and other environmental impacts threatening their home island. Kathy was selected as one of 13 Climate Warriors by Vogue in 2015 and the Impact Hero of the Year by Earth Company in 2016. She received her Master's in Pacific Island Studies from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
Her poetry, in her words, "mainly focuses on raising awareness surrounding the issues and threats faced by my people. Nuclear testing conducted in our islands, militarism, the rising sea level as a result of climate change, forced migration, adaptation and racism in America—these are just a few themes my poetry touches upon".
The 70 Inspiring Pacific Women campaign has been produced by the Pacific Community (SPC) in partnership with Australian Aid and Pacific Women. The campaign marks the 70th anniversary of SPC, and leads up to the 13th Triennial Conference of Pacific Women and 6th Meeting of Ministers for Women in Suva (Fiji) from 2nd to 5th October 2017.


Aug 21 (Reuters) - Kohl's Corp on Tuesday posted quarterly earnings and same-store sales above analysts' estimates as it sold more apparel at full price, although the department store chain's tepid profit forecast sent its shares down more than 4 percent.
Kohl's raised its full-year adjusted profit forecast to a range of $5.15 to $5.55 per share, the mid point of which was still below the average analyst estimate of $5.39 per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
While research firm Retail Metrics analyst Ken Perkins attributed the drop in shares to the company's disappointing forecast, some others pointed to profit taking.
Kohl's shares have risen more than 45 percent this year and have doubled in value in the past 12 months.
"Investors who have benefited from Kohl's recent run may be taking some profits," said Josh Blechman, director of Capital Markets at asset management firm Exponential ETFs said.
Kohl's has beaten same-store sales and revenue estimates for the fifth straight quarter, highlighting its efforts to turn around its business by sprucing up stores, cutting back on discounts and bolstering its online operations.
In the latest quarter, the company benefited from higher sales of men's and women's apparel, especially in the active wear category with strong performance of brands such as Nike and Under Armour, Kohl's said.
"The rebound in Kohl's women's business marks an important inflection point after multiple years of disappointing results," Gordon Haskett analyst Chuck Grom said.
After years of stagnant growth, many U.S. department store chains, including Macy's and Nordstrom, are turning a corner as they mount a challenge to Amazon.com Inc's dominance by investing heavily in their online businesses and streamlining their operations.
"People still want to write retail apocalypse but it's not happening," said Bob Phibbs, chief executive officer of New York-based consultancy Retail Doctor.
"We do expect to benefit in the back half, from store closures, in particular, with Bon-Ton closing the doors, especially, as we think about holiday," Kohl's CEO Michelle Gass said.
Sales at stores open for at least a year jumped 3.1 percent, compared with a 2.69 percent increase estimated by analysts.
With inventories per store down about 8 percent, Kohl's gross margin rose 42 basis points to 39.5 percent in the second quarter ended Aug. 4.

Q: How to get the nodes with duplicate property value in Neo4j? I have a particular node of type Person and that particular node has some properties say name,age,dob etc. Now, there are some nodes with same name i.e there are multiple nodes with name  'JOHN' , some for 'DAVID' etc.
I want to count the nodes with same name.
ex. result should  be:
JOHN  - 2
DAVID  -5
something like this.

A: i think you accidentally created duplicate nodes, now you want to find those nodes whose count is more then 1
MATCH (p:Person)

Premier and State Development Minister Colin Barnett today officially opened Rio Tinto Iron Ore's Cape Lambert Port B facility, in another sign of confidence in the sector.
Mr Barnett congratulated Rio Tinto and its partners in the Robe River Iron Associates Joint Venture, Nippon Steel-Sumitomo Metal Industries and Mitsui, on their commitment to WA.
"Rio Tinto's investment in expanding its iron ore export capacity is excellent news for Western Australia and the Pilbara," he said.
Iron ore production in Western Australia increased 12 per cent to 512.6 million tonnes in 2012-13, representing 26 per cent of world production. Rio Tinto accounted for almost half the State's 2012-13 iron ore production at 239 million tonnes.
The iron ore industry contributed approximately $3.65billion in royalty payments to the State in 2012-13, which the Premier said was vital to the Government's ability to provide schools, hospitals, roads and services across Western Australia.
"The construction workforce peaked at more than 1,700 and the new facility will generate about 100 full-time operational jobs," Mr Barnett said.
The Premier said that the Government and Rio Tinto had worked together to ensure all necessary approvals were in place ahead of the Port B development and for planned future expansions.

Millions of people in America are experimenting with drugs like marijuana and cocaine. While some people are able to remain casual drug users, many people go on to abuse drugs. In order to understand drug abuse, we must first understand the difference between drug use, drug abuse and drug addiction.
When someone begins to use drugs, the beginning stages may seem more casual. At this point, the substance use is an occasional thing. Someone might smoke pot on their birthday or use LSD at a party. At this stage, the person is still able to control his or her use of the substance. While they will still feel negative effects associated with a substance – the rapid heart rate and paranoia sometimes associated with methamphetamine, for example – for the most part, the user will still have a pleasurable experience with the substance.
When the person begins to have a tolerance for the substance, the stage of drug abuse begins. She or he will have to keep using more and more of the drug to achieve the same desired effect. Psychological and physical dependence can begin at this point. The person may experience uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms if he or she doesn't use the substance, particularly with opiates.
At what point does drug abuse become drug addiction? Usually, when an individual doesn't have control over the use of the substance. This is the point where the drug controls your life. Attempting to quit will result in withdrawal symptoms.
There are numerous factors that contribute to the likelihood of drug abuse. Background of family and culture, genetics, social influences and environmental factors are all examples. Individuals who have co-occurring mental health disorders are also likely to abuse drugs.
Whether you are abusing methamphetamine, opioids or prescription benzodiazepine, the more you use the substance, the more your body depends on it. It doesn't take much for drug abuse to become drug addiction.
While the symptoms and signs will be different depending on the particular drug that is being abused, there are certain symptoms that are similar with multiple substances.
There are a number of ways an individual who struggles with drug abuse can seek help.
Some substances – like benzodiazepines or opiates – have strong withdrawal symptoms when an individual stops using them. In these cases, medically-supervised detox is advised. With certain substances, the detox process can be incredibly dangerous, even fatal, if attempted alone.
Drug rehabs offer treatment programs (both inpatient and outpatient), which are the most effective way to treat drug abuse. Treatment programs are offered at different levels depending on the circumstances of each patient.
Regular meetings are offered by groups like SMART Recovery and Narcotics Anonymous for those who struggle with drug abuse. Recovery meetings are an essential part of any aftercare program once you have finished a treatment program.
For those who struggle with the abuse of certain substances, medication-assisted treatment may be necessary. Drugs like methadone and buprenorphine are given as an opiate replacement therapy. Also, drugs like naltrexone are given to reduce cravings for alcohol and drug abuse.
If you're thinking about treatment for your drug abuse, one helpful thing to do is look into drug abuse centers like The Recovery Village Ridgefield. Located near Eugene, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington, our facility offers several services for the treatment of drug abuse. Reach out to us today to begin your recovery journey.

Beer, Brewery, Festival of Brewers
Festival of Brewers Focus – Wilde Child Brewing Co.
June 25, 2018 Mike Hampshire	Leave a comment
Joining the breweries taking part in the Festival of Brewers is Wilde Child Brewing Co. Pushing boundaries from day one, Wilde Child have recently outgrown their garage brewery and now have a microbrewery in Armley, Leeds. Here, owner Keir McAllister-Wilde is looking to expand on his already strong brand and reputation.
Wild Keir
I've had the privilege of following Wilde Child's progress from it's very early days. Brewing on kit in his garage, Keir broke on to the scene with three absolute bombs. Where many other newcomers to producing beer may be more conservative with their launch beers, Keir made his intentions clear from day one. 'Instant Hobo' (9% ABV Bourbon Imperial Stout), Hopstrosity (10.5% ABV Triple IPA) and Creature of Doom (8.2% ABV Doppelbock) were the beers Keir launched with.
But, when you meet Keir, it absolutely makes sense why he launched with these beers. Wilde in name, and wildly passionate about his beer, Keir is all about big, great flavour, that in many cases challenges the palette of even the most seasoned beer drinkers.
Wilde Child's New Home
It feels like Wilde Child has come a long way since those first three beers. While the ethos remains the same, the beers have evolved. Recently we've seen 'Beyond Redemption' (4% ABV Pineapple Milkshake Pale) and 'Opaque Reality' (Mango and Passionfruit Milkshake IPA) added to Keir's flavour-challenging portfolio, amongst many others.
Testament to Wilde Child's success is the recent move out of the garage brew house and into a new home, on Armley Road in Leeds. Moving next door to 'Pulse & Cocktails' superstore (people reading this in Leeds will now know EXACTLY where it is now!), Keir can now brew five times that which he was brewing before.
After months of hard work building the brewery, the pinnacle came in April, when Keir was able to open the doors to his brewery to the public, for Wilde Child's second birthday. Such was the popularity that day, that the bar queue was out of the door and surpassed Keir's own expectations for attendance.
That busy day was also a sign of just how well-respected Keir is, not just for his beers, but for his addictive passion and creativity. I believe Keir's potential is limitless.
Ahead of the festival, I had chance to catch up with Keir. We spoke about his beers, and also what Festival of Brewers means to him.
What kind of beers do you usually brew?
Big, bold and interesting. We're on point with current trends in terms of the more 'out there' beers that we produce and we're proud to be throwing in more hops (even into our weaker beers) than a lot of other Breweries out there at present.
Outside of the Festival of Brewers, where can your beers be regularly found?
Our beers can regularly be found at Head of Steam (Headingley, Leeds & Hull) as well as Arcadia & East of Arcadia in Headingley/Meanwood, House of Trembling Madness in York and Crown & Kettle in Manchester. Our customer base is growing on a weekly basis at present and we're lucky enough to be dealing with some of the best outlets in the North of England at present.
What beers can we expect from your brewery at Festival of Brewers?
Certainly nothing safe and middle of the road as that's just not our Company ethos. Expect mid percentage lactose/super hoppy or fruity beers and interesting stouts.
What are you most looking forward to about Festival of Brewers?
I'm looking forward to representing my Company in the City I was born and raised. Nothing gives me a bigger sense of pride than working in an industry I'm so passionate about in my home town.
What would you say to people who are still thinking about attending, who haven't got a ticket yet?
I'd say this is a great opportunity to try beers from Breweries that you may not often get a chance to sample. We all love and respect the 'premier league' Breweries in this Country but a lot of the festivals are dominated by these guys and a lot of smaller/upcoming Breweries get overlooked or left out, so get yourselves down and 'try it, you might like it'.
The New Brewery
The first ever Festival of Brewers event takes place on 29th and 30th June 2018, with New Craven Hall hosting, which can be found just one-mile South of Leeds City Train Station.
All too often, independent beer festivals choose to focus their attention on the same, larger, popular UK craft breweries. This makes it difficult for the hundreds of smaller breweries across the UK to share the spotlight. Festival of Brewers aims to address that by only showcasing the small and independent breweries.
You can find out all the information, including participating breweries and street food vendors, tickets and how to find the venue on the website www.festivalofbrewers.co.uk

With a deep roster, Greenwich boys ice hockey team eyeing FCIAC, state titles
By David Fierro on December 11, 2021 • ( Leave a comment )
From left to right: Brendan Frost, Nate Duffy and Shea Madden are senior captains of the Greenwich boys ice hockey team.
Though the Greenwich High School boys ice hockey team's 2020-2021 season was shortened and modified due to COVID-19 guidelines, it still played 15 games, its last one coming in the FCIAC Division I Tournament final.
This winter, the Cardinals and hockey teams around the state are back to playing a full slate of games, giving them more opportunities to challenge each other and compete in both conference and state tournaments.
Such opportunities are especially exciting for a Greenwich team with high aspirations.
"Like every senior, I want our team to win the FCIAC championship and the state championship, I think we're capable," Greenwich senior tri-captain/forward Nate Duffy said.
"Last year was great and this year it feels good to be back again and we hope to win an FCIAC championship and state championship," added Cardinals senior defenseman/tri-captain Shea Madden. "We are ready to set each other up for success."
Coached by Jack Duffy, Greenwich came close to capturing the FCIAC Division I Tournament title last season. The Cardinals, who finished their 2020-2021 campaign with a record of 10-5, posted a 3-2 win over Fairfield co-op in the FCIAC Division I Tournament semifinals, then dropped a 3-1 decision to New Canaan in the title game at Dorothy Hamill Skating Rink.
"I think it was great for the kids last year," Jack Duffy said. "We didn't know we were going to have a season, so the season we had was great. There was no state tournament, but that group of kids that graduated last year got some closure. We had some good competition, so all-in-all, it was a pretty successful season to compete like that."
The Greenwich boys hockey team gathers at the conclusion of last season's FCIAC Division I Tournament final vs. New Canaan at Dorothy Hamill Skating Rink. The Cardinals return a strong nucleus from last season's winning team.
Greenwich, which last won the FCIAC championship in 2016 when it defeated St. Joseph in the title matchup, opens its 2021-2022 season Monday with a 4:30 p.m. game against Daniel Hand at Dorothy Hamill Skating Rink.
Nate Duffy is one of the forwards that will be relied upon to provide leadership and scoring to the Cardinals up front. He will mostly skate on a line that includes seniors Francois Geraghty and junior Gage Bria.
"We are building our chemistry and once we get on the ice a few times, we are going to start to put together a few things and come out strong," whose brother Sean Duffy, a 2021 GHS graduate, also competed on the Cards' hockey squad.
The Cardinals' senior tri-captain likes how the team is coming together as the season gets underway very soon.
"We have been bonding with the boys really well and I hope our team chemistry can take us all the way this year," Nate Duffy said. "We have good leadership and it has been pretty fun so far."
Senior tri-captain Brendan Frost and Madden (tri-captain) key a group of strong defensemen that includes junior Peter Lewis, senior Randall Feda and junior Charlie Asness.
"We have a couple of new faces around, we are rotating guys in and seeing what everyone can do," Frost said. "We have a lot of different talents on the team and we're looking to see what we can put together so far."
It was, indeed, difficult for the opposition to score against the Cardinals last season, as they registered six shutouts.
"Focusing on playing team defense is what we try to do," Frost said. "We have to stay tight. Sticking to your guy, playing in front of the net and watching in front of the net are what we concentrate on doing."
Like his fellow captains, Madden is embracing his leadership role.
"It feels great knowing that everyone looks up to us and it feels good to be a captain," Madden said. "It's a huge responsibility to be a leader out there and it's important for us to make sure that we're always things to the best of our abilities."
Greenwich captains Brendan Frost, Nate Duffy and Shea Madden are set to help lead the team to a successful season.
"Frost and Madden are back on 'D' and they will log a lot of ice time," coach Duffy said. "They've been good leaders so far."
Nate Duffy, Danny Pratley and Danny Windels bring skill and leadership up front.
"We're trying to build around those guys," coach Duffy said. "They have been good leaders for us up front."
Junior Cole Studwell, senior Jack Ryan and sophomore Nick Sinisi are the Cards' goalies.
"We have three good choices in goal and I think they will be competing for time all season long," Jack Duffy said.
Matthew Trimmer (junior forward), Grady Kaali-Nagy (senior forward), Bailey Rozmus (sophomore forward), Jordan Bowbear (senior), William Duncan (junior), Dylan Harris (junior), Alex McCarvey (junior), Kevin Keaveney (senior), Robert Grillo (junior), Daniel Greenbaum (senior), Owen Lanzarone (junior), Joe Lewis (freshman) and Jackson Price each provide depth at the positions they will play.
Ben Bates, Chris Cataldo, John Cataldo, Thatcher Danielson, Sean Duffy, Jack Hutchins, Dylan Kronengold, Jake Shreders and David Mairs were among the graduates of the Cardinals' winning 2020-21 team.
Twins Charlie Zolin, a goalie and Wesley Zolin, a forward, who played on the Greenwich squad for three seasons, are now competing at the Elite Hockey Academy – an 18-Under club team located near New Haven.
Greenwich visits Fairfield Prep (Dec. 14) after hosting Daniel Hand on Monday, then has a home game on Dec. 21 against Xavier. The Winter Classic at Greenwich Skating Club is scheduled to take place on Dec. 29 against Darien at 4 p.m. The Cardinals' first game of 2022 will be against New Canaan at home on Jan. 5.
"Our strength is our experience on defense," coach Duffy said. "We are looking for goals up front, since we graduated a lot of our goal-scorers last season. So, it's anybody's job to bang pucks in the net."
"Going into the season there is a lot of teams that lost a lot of players from last year, so I think you are going to see a real fun season," Duffy continued. "The FCIAC – it's like a triangle or square of great teams out there and we beat each other up. We have a lot of work in front of us and we'll see who steps up."

First DNA Sequencing performed on Space Station opens new Era of In-Space Research
August 30, 2016 January 28, 2017 Patrick Blau 2150 Views

DNA was successfully sequenced in space for the first time this weekend aboard the International Space Station as part of a study exploring whether operational DNA sequencing systems are a feasible and valuable addition to the Station's scientific repertoire.
The experiment – performed by trained microbiologist and cancer researcher Kate Rubins – used the Biomolecule Sequencer hardware, the first device capable of performing DNA sequencing within the framework of a space mission (microgravity environment, mass limitations, crew safety).
The ability of sequencing the DNA of living organisms in space is of extreme value to the scientific community and also opens up a number of medical possibilities for long-duration flights of the future. To date, samples had to be returned to Earth to undergo sequencing in laboratories on the ground which is much more expensive than analyzing the sample on board and sending the collected data to the ground via radio.

The Biomolecule Sequencer hardware was flown to ISS on the Dragon SpX-9 cargo mission in July to demonstrate the ability to sequence DNA in space.
DNA sequencing can be beneficial for future space missions – astronauts could diagnose illnesses, identify microbes growing on their spacecraft and, further down the road, use the technology for astrobiology research looking for lifeforms beyond Earth.
The Biomolecule Sequencer proof-of-concept has twofold objectives, looking at the functionality of DNA sequencing in microgravity and crew operability of the system in the space environment. In contrast to other platforms currently in development for DNA Sequencing using the Polymerase Chain Reaction, the Biomolecule Sequencer determines the nucleotide sequence of individual molecules of input DNA without target-specific primers (strands of DNA that serve as the starting point for the synthesis of DNA).
Therefore, rather than detecting specific targets, the Biomolecule Sequencer will be applied universally to provide data on the entirety of a sample – allowing DNA from a range of organisms to be sampled.
The core piece of the Biomolecule Sequencer is MinION, the actual sequencing device coming at the size of a thumbdrive, 9.5 by 3.2 by 1.6 centimeters in dimension. The 120-gram device makes use of exchangeable flow cells that feature nanometer-scale pores through which DNA stands are passed while currents diagnostic of the DNA sequence are measured. A normal sequencing run with the device can last up to 48 hours and collected data is transmitted to a Microsoft Surface Pro3 via a USB Interface to be then downlinked to Earth.
For the initial Biomolecule Sequencer Investigation, samples of mouse, virus and bacteria were sent to the Space Station to put very different DNA strands through the machine and then compare the DNA sequenced to that obtained from a ground-based sequencer.
The experiment was run in space and on Earth at the same time so that spaceflight conditions (microgravity, radiation) were the only variables in the test. All samples in the experiment had been fully sequenced beforehand so that researchers knew what to expect from the test.
Performing laboratory techniques developed on Earth in the space environment always presents a number of challenges. For the nanopore sequencing technique, one big unknown was the behavior of air bubbles when introduced into the liquid DNA sample. On Earth, bubbles will rise to the surface, but in space they could block the nanopores and influence the test results.
Assessing this and other factors is the precise purpose of the Biomolecule Sequencer experiment, providing scientists with hands-on experience to evaluate whether the MinION can deliver accurate and repeatable results in the space environment, withstand the extreme environments of launch and expose any factors that generate errors in the DNA sequence.

An initial test run with the MinION was performed as part of NASA's Extreme Environment Mission Operation (NEEMO) aboard an underwater habitat off the coast of Florida, allowing the device to be checked in a different pressure, temperature and humidity environment.
So far, the tests performed in orbit and on the ground match up very well though some steps are still to be demonstrated because only prepared DNA samples were tested up to this point. Another item on the agenda will be the verification that the crew can prepare a sample, transfer it to the device and sequence the DNA aboard ISS.
When the entire sample collection to sequencing process has been proven with known DNA sequences, the crew can move beyond working with known DNA and begin sampling as part of the various studies in progress aboard ISS.
"Welcome to systems biology in space," said Rubins after the first DNA molecules were sequenced. Thanking the team she said, "It is very exciting to be with you guys together at the dawn of genomics biology and systems biology in space."

Vilamoura is one of southern Portugal's finest resort towns – offering so much more than just stunning beaches and a glorious climate. Vilamoura was envisaged in the 1980s as an exclusive beach resort and elite golfing center, and today the town has matured into a stylish and modern holiday destination that boasts celebrated golf courses and outstanding tourist facilities.
The majority of visitors stay within the trendy marina development, with it's fine restaurants, stylish cocktail bars and chic nightlife, and from here it is only a short stroll to the pristine beaches or drive to the championship grade golf courses.
Vilamoura is unlike any other Portuguese town, gone is the dilapidated charm, replaced with striking perfection, which is simply expected by the super-rich who moor their million dollar yachts in the marina.
Vilamoura has world class hotels, stunning beaches, and a fantastic tourist centre that is based around the marina complex with its varied selection of excellent restaurants and stylish bars. There is a lot to do within the region including boat tours, waterparks, historic towns to explore, and of course golf. The five 18-hole golf courses make Vilamoura arguably the best location for a golfing holiday in the Algarve.
