Recent Discoveries in Ephesus 2022
The latest discoveries made in ancient Ephesus
The most important discovery in the last 50 years was made in the ancient city of Ephesus in October 2022.
A 1400-year-old Byzantine district was recently discovered in the ancient city of Ephesus. The discovery of businesses and a neighborhood from the 7th century AD that was beneath a layer of fire will also expose many unknowns in Ephesus.
This is the most important discovery in Ephesus since the excavation of the Terrace Houses 50 years ago, according to Sabine Ladstatter, Head of the Ancient City of Ephesus Excavations.
1400-year-old Ephesus neighborhood found
In the ancient city of Ephesus, a neighborhood 1400-years-old was unearthed.
Archaeologists found that stores and ruins in the district, which was judged to be from the early Byzantine Period, were well preserved. They claimed that the extraordinary preservation of the discoveries was due to a deep coating of fire that blanketed houses, stores, and equipments.
According to Sabine Ladstatter, Head of the Ephesus Ancient City Excavations Committee, "The region appears to have vanished suddenly about 614-615 BC. All of the household furnishings in the rooms were covered in a thick and dense layer of fire. As a result, they were all preserved for future generations. Even though they are dated to different chronological times , this region appears to have disappeared. The discovery is comparable to the Pompeii archaeological site "said.
What was discovered during the excavation of Ephesus' ancient city?
The Ephesus excavations found what?
So far, hundreds of ceramic containers packed with the remains of seafood like as mussels and oysters, as well as pots loaded with salted mackerel, have been uncovered in the 170 square meter excavation area.
Charred pea and legume seeds, as well as peach, almond, and olive kernels, were discovered. Four gold and bronze coins were taken from the vaults of a few stores. Many tiny pilgrim bottles, which may be worn around the neck and offered as presents to Christian travelers, have been unearthed.
Where have the recently found artifacts at Ephesus been discovered?
According to Sabine Ladstatter, the excavation's leader, the newly found neighborhood is located in Domitian Square, just near to the Upper Agora, Rome's political center.
What will happen with the recent discoveries in Ephesus?
Sabine Ladstatter believes the recent discoveries in Domitian Square will help to explain many questions about the history of Ephesus.
The most recent discoveries haven't yet been included into the Ephesus tours. Unfortunately, we will not be able to visit this newly found neighborhood anytime soon.
We will, however, incorporate these latest discoveries in our Private Ephesus tours as soon as they are permitted to be visited.

'Desert Flippers' dish on season 2 of HGTV show
Xochitl Pena
Eric and Lindsey Bennett are just as adorable in person as they are on TV.
As soon as Lindsey found out the two would be on camera for this interview, she had Eric change out of his light green t-shirt and into a blue and grey baseball-style t-shirt so they could match.
The picture perfect duo, who showed America how to make some money off dilapidated homes in the desert, returns for season 2 of "Desert Flippers" on HGTV.
"Way bigger renovations is what you're going to see, way bigger," stressed Lindsey on Thursday about the new season premiering in June.
"We are changing it up. We are doing crazy configuration and layout changes in kitchens. Things that not only make sense functionally but make great design impact."
HGTV announced the show renewal in a press release earlier this week saying the show delivered double-digit ratings growth in the 25-54 age demographic in their 11 p.m. time slot.

"Facing unique desert challenges including scorpions, snakes and spiders, these flippers utilize their expertise to transform real estate disasters into stunning family dream homes," continued the press release.
The Bennetts are filming season 2 at a home in Cathedral City near Century Park. The home is still in the early stages of the renovation. One wall separating the living room and dining area/kitchen has been knocked down to create an open concept living space.
Fans of the show should know Lindsey is very comfortable swinging a sledgehammer and loves knocking down walls.
"It's fun. You should try it. It's very therapeutic," she said as she pounded through some dry wall.
She also loves creating centerpiece kitchen islands that are fun and functional. Blue painters tape has already been placed on the floor outlining exactly where the statement island will go.
"I think it makes the kitchen. It makes an impact," she said. "The whole house is going to be gutted, overhauled, all new floors, all new windows, new sliders."
Eric said they had a lot of fun watching the first season and seeing the transformations - many they had forgotten about.
"Some of these properties take us 3 or 4 months to do and the cameras are with us a lot and then they edit it down to 22 minutes and so … you're like 'oh I forgot I said that' or 'I forgot I did that.' The thing you forget the most is what it looked like in the beginning."
READ MORE: 'Desert Flippers' will be back for Season 2 on HGTV
Lindsey said she appreciates the "fun loving" way they were portrayed on the show.
"It's very real," Eric added.
Since they're not actors – they moved from Wisconsin to the desert about 10 years ago – Lindsey said the experience was initially awkward. Now, they are used to all the cameras.
"I think we ride with it and we do pretty well," she said.
Eric is happy they've been able to showcase their hometown through the show.
"There's so many great people, there's so many great things to do, great places to go."
"And also it's kind of fun to get recognized in the store," added Lindsey.
Initially, she was embarrassed by the attention and didn't know what to say.
"Talking to random strangers was a little awkward and it took me some time, but now it's like I have new found friends everywhere I go and everybody talks to me about their renovation."

by John Hare (Administrative Officer, Northern Nigeria 1957-64)
Kanem-Bornu Warriors
Borno State is located in the far north-eastern corner of Nigeria. It extends to the shores of Lake Chad and covers 71,000 square kilometres. The climate is hot, the land is dry and the people - mainly Kanuri and Shuwa Arab - are tough. It is principally in Borno, but also in other parts of Nigeria and the Cameroon Republic, that the Islamic fundamentalist movement Boko Haram has committed unspeakable atrocities in its attempt to establish a Muslim Caliphate and a system of strict shah'a law.
The Muslim people who live in Northern Nigeria have seen dissent against Muslim administrations turn to violence many times in the last 200 years. With Boko Haram, however, their violent dissent which is of a particularly horrific kind has an exact historical precedent. For 125 years ago in precisely the same part of what is now Nigeria and Cameroon similar events occurred.
In 1893, seven years before the establishment of the Northern Nigerian protectorate in 1900 under the British, a renegade Islamic fanatic from the Sudan called Rabih FadI Allah invaded the then Kanuri empire of Borno from Darfur in western Sudan with a horde of Arab and Sudanese fighters. Rabih had fallen out with the self-proclaimed Mahdi, Muhammad Ahmed, whose troops killed General Gordon in Khartoum in 1885. He decided to head west with his own army and killed, beheaded, looted and enslaved in the name of Allah.
During the colonial era, peace was established in Borno. It lasted until it was shattered first in 1966 by the military coup and again in 2009 by the emergence of Boko Haram in the Mandara Mountains area.
Rabih FadI Allah
The Mandara mountain range stretches over 350 miles from Lake Chad in the north to just beyond Yola in the south. In the pre-colonial era they formed a central backbone of the vast Kanuri Empire. The Marghi, Higi, Hithe, Gwoza, Fali and Matakam tribes had secured this mountainous fortress and defied slavers' raids for centuries, including the ravages of Rabih.
When I visited them in 1961 the Mandara tribes were some of the wildest in Nigeria. They frequently fought and killed rival clansmen for sport after the harvest. About 30% of the Mandara mountain dwellers were Christians, 65% pagans and 5% were Muslims, but today they are nearly all Christian and it is these missionised youth who have been forcibly converted to Islam by the followers of Abubakar Shekau.
When Rabih devastated the same area it was many months before his depredations were revealed but today we receive almost daily news on Boko Haram atrocities and their military successes. The Nigerian army's heavy-handed policies have also driven thousands of new recruits towards the Boko Haram cause. At the moment they are in the ascendancy. How long will it be before Abubakar Shekau joins Rabih and can be spoken of in the past tense?
John Hare was District Officer, Mubi in 1961 and the Mandara mountains fell under his jurisdiction.

Quite Universal Circuit Simulator (Qucs) is a free-software electronics circuit simulator software application released under GPL. It offers the ability to set up a circuit with a graphical user interface and simulate the large-signal, small-signal and noise behaviour of the circuit. Pure digital simulations are also supported using VHDL and/or Verilog.

Qucs supports a growing list of analog and digital components as well as SPICE sub-circuits.  It is intended to be much simpler to use and handle than other circuit simulators like gEDA or PSPICE.

Analysis types
Analysis types include S-parameter (including noise), AC (including noise), DC, Transient Analysis, Harmonic Balance (not yet finished), Digital simulation (VHDL and Verilog-HDL) and Parameter sweeps.

Features at a glance
Qucs has a graphical interface for schematic capture. Simulation data can be represented in various types of diagrams, including Smith-Chart, Cartesian, Tabular, Polar, Smith-Polar combination, 3D-Cartesian, Locus Curve, Timing Diagram and Truth Table.

The documentation offers many useful tutorials (WorkBook), reports (ReportBook) and a technical description of the simulator.

Other features include the transmission line calculator, Filter synthesis, Smith-Chart tool for power and noise matching, Attenuator design synthesis, Device model and subcircuit library manager, Optimizer for analog designs, the Verilog-A interface, Support for multiple languages (GUI and internal help system), Subcircuit (including parameters) hierarchy, Powerful data post-processing possible using equations and symbolically defined nonlinear and linear devices.

Tool suite
Qucs consists of several standalone programs interacting with each other through a GUI.

The GUI is used to create schematics, setup simulations, display simulation results, writing VHDL code, etc.

The analog simulator, gnucsator, is a command line program which is run by the GUI in order to simulate the schematic which you previously setup. It reads a netlist file augmented with commands, performs simulations, and finally produces a dataset file. It can also report errors.

The GUI includes a text editor which can display netlists and simulation logging information. It is handy to edit files related to certain components (e.g. SPICE netlists, or Touchstone files).

A filter synthesis application can help design various types of filters.

The transmission line calculator can be used to design and analyze different types of transmission lines (e.g. microstrips, coaxial cables).

A component library manager gives access to models for real life devices (e.g. transistors, diodes, bridges, opamps). These are usually implemented as macros. The library can be extended by the user.

The attenuator synthesis application can be used to design various types of passive attenuators.

The command line conversion program tool is used by the GUI to import and export datasets, netlists and schematics from and to other CAD/EDA software. The supported file formats as well as usage information can be found on the manpage of qucsconv.

Additionally, the GUI can steer other EDA tools. Analog and mixed simulations can be performed by simulators that read the qucsator netlist format. For purely digital simulations (via VHDL) the program FreeHDL  or Icarus-Verilog can be used. For circuit optimization (minimization of a cost function), ASCO  may be invoked.

Components
The following categories of components are provided:
 Lumped components (R, L, C, amplifier, phase shifter, etc.)
 Sources
 Probes
 Transmission lines
 Nonlinear components (diodes, transistors, etc.)
 Digital components
 File containers (S-parameter datasets, SPICE netlists)
 Paintings
There is also a Component library that includes various standard components available in the market (bridges, diodes, varistors, LEDs, JFETs, MOSFETS, and so on).

Transistor models
Qucs supports transistor models, some need to be added by hand. Some have been tested, these include
 FBH-HBT
 HICUM L0 v1.12
 HICUM L0 v1.2
 HICUM L2 v2.1
 HICUM L2 v2.22
 HICUM L2 v2.23
 MESFET (Curtice, Statz, TOM-1 and TOM-2)
 SGP (SPICE Gummel-Poon)
 MOSFET
 JFET
 EPFL-EKV MOSFET v2.6.

Q: Adjust the margins of a quote (or create a box?) How do I adjust the left and right margins by 2cm, a top margin of 1.5cm and a bottom margin of 2cm? Is it possible to do less complicated by creating a box?
Here is my code...
\newenvironment{ex}[2]{\begin{quote}{\color{blue}Lorem #1.} \itshape{#2}}{\end{quote}}
...
\section{Lorem ipsum}
Some text

\begin{ex}{ipsum}
Some text
\end{ex}

\section{Lorem ipsum}
Some text

Thanks ;)

A: Use quoting. There should be just one argument (the title).
You can see that no blank line after \end{ex} results in no indent.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{quoting}
\usepackage{xcolor}

\usepackage{lipsum} % just for the example

\newenvironment{ex}[1]
 {%
  \quoting[leftmargin=2cm,rightmargin=2cm]%
  \noindent\textcolor{blue!75}{#1.} \itshape\ignorespaces
 }
 {\endquoting}

\begin{document}

\lipsum[1][1-4]

\begin{ex}{Blue title}
\lipsum[2][1-4]
\end{ex}
\lipsum[3][1-4]

\begin{ex}{Blue title}
\lipsum[2][1-4]
\end{ex}

\lipsum[3][1-4]

\end{document}

A:
A simple centered minipage of the right width with two vertical spaces inside can do that. Note that external glues can change a lot the apparent top and bottom margins of the quote, so pay attention to blank lines before and after the minipage.
    \documentclass{article}
    \usepackage{lipsum,geometry}
    \begin{document}

    \section{Lorem ipsum}
    \lipsum[1][1-6]\par
    {\centering
    \begin{minipage}{\dimexpr\linewidth-4cm}
    \vspace{1.5cm} \lipsum[2][1-9] \vspace{2cm}
    \end{minipage}\par}
    \lipsum[3][1-9]

    \end{document}

As quotes are really a special list, you can also make your custom list. An inconvenient is that you want different top and bottom spaces, but lists use \topsep +\parkip in both cases, but you can set this to 1.5 cm and simply add 0.5cm after the list.

    \documentclass{article}
    \usepackage{lipsum,geometry,xcolor}

    \newenvironment{myquote}
    {\begin{list}{}%
    % before
    {\setlength\topsep{\dimexpr1.5cm-\parskip-\partopsep}
    \setlength\listparindent{0cm}
    \setlength\labelwidth{0cm}
    \setlength\itemindent{0em}
    \setlength\parsep{\baselineskip}
    \setlength\leftmargin{2cm}
    \setlength\rightmargin{2cm}
    \setlength\labelsep{2cm}
    }\item \color{blue}\em\parindent1em }
    % after
    {\end{list}\vspace{0.5cm}}

    \begin{document}

    \section{Lorem ipsum}
    \lipsum[1][1-8]\par \lipsum[2][1-8]

    \begin{myquote}
        \lipsum[3][1-8]\par \lipsum[4][1-8]
    \end{myquote}

    \lipsum[5][1-8]\par \lipsum[6][1-8]

    \end{document}

macOS and a decently configured MBP are my machine. I'm running the latest versions of pretty much everything. My machine is configured as described here.
If you don't know ES6 and JSX – yeah that's a problem. You need to jump into the deep end or try another platform. Especially with JSX it is really important to go study up on that or you will scratch your head for endless hours (personal experience).
I tend to waste a lot of time because I still tend to think in regular JS and not JSX. Bad – come on Beren! If you plan to use Redux then you really should practice quite a bit with regular React first because its not quite as easy to debug on mobile.
Debugging is really pretty amazing. You've got tools on the desktop, in the IDE, and on the phone. However it can still be a pain to figure out where to look to see why something is not working. Mostly what it takes is patience and some experience. You will also really need to read stack traces. The answer is usually there, but it takes patience. If you want to get the same debugging capabilities on mobile as with web development, there is some work to do.
I'm doing most of my development on Android. I find that the emulator works really quite nicely. Have not yet seen any issues with it.
Restart your project. Open a new command line, CD to the project root, and run this command: npm run react-devtool and you should see the new dev-tools open up and connect to your app.
I have noticed that the dev tools will "time out" if you are not actively using them, but they seem to return to life shortly after loading screens and such.
Go into Chrome and you should see an option for "remote-dev", which when you open it will show you the redux store for your app! Pretty neat.
It does really help to read the auto-generate Readme.MD file – so that is tip #1. As you are working on Apps, things can sometimes get out of synch with React, React-Native, and JS. Check this page, your package.json, and your app.json file to get things corrected when you are getting the dreaded "React Version Mismatch" message in your emulator/simulator/terminal.
I've been working with JSX and Flexbox for layout. If you are familiar with grid systems for the web Flexbox will be familiar, but it does take some practice. Try Flexbox Froggy to brush up your skills. If your text isn't wrapping right, my guess is that you are missing "flex: 1" in your styles.
I'll keep adding to the tips as I learn more.

Cry out in sorrow, for the day of the Lord is near! It will come as a destroying power from the All-powerful.
Scream in terror, for the day of the Lord has arrived— the time for the Almighty to destroy.
Wail, for the day of the Lord is near; it will come like destruction from the Almighty!
Wail ye; for the Yom Hashem is karov (near); it shall come like shod (sudden destruction) from Shaddai.
Wail, for the day of Adonai is near! it will come as destruction from Shaddai.
Cry out in terror!—the time is coming; the day of the Eternal is nearly here, Violence and destruction as only God-All-Powerful can wreak.
Howl ye, for near [is] the day of Jehovah, As destruction from the Mighty it cometh.

Who Will Cry for Roger Clemens
Tags: Andy Pettite, Chuck Knoblauch, Jason Giambi, Joe Torre, Roger Clemens, Yankee Stadium
Poor Roger Clemens, first he gets outed for his use of HGH and steroids in the Mitchell Report, then he further destroys his reputation by starting a defamation suit against Brian McNamee where details about Clemens' alleged affair with a 15 year old girl come out and a host of other embarrassing and lurid details. Now, Clemens' reputation is completely in the toilet, a man who should be honored as the best living pitcher is relegated to the outskirts because of his own illegal actions and no one wants to acknowledge him. Fast forward to Sunday's fellating of Yankee Stadium and the honoring of the greatest Yankees at each position and no mention of the Cy Young garnering, 2 World Series winning Rocket. Alas!
According to today's NY Post, sitting in his hurricane ravaged home, watching a battery operated TV and holding hands with his wife and mother-in-law, Clemens was "heartbroken" when he wasn't even mentioned at all.
"Debbie and I held his hand while we watched the game, and he was heartbroken," said Clemens' mother-in-law Jan Wild. "Not mad. He still loves baseball and the Yankees, but it was sad what they did to him."
Chuck Knoblauch, Andy Pettite and Jason Giambi all of whom were ALSO mentioned in the Mitchell Report were given their due at the close of the stadium but apparently Clemens was too much for the Yankees fans sensibilities. Instead he's left holding hands with some old lady in possibly the saddest way possible. Also Joe Torre, who only took the team to 6 World Series and won 4 of them as well as making the playoffs every year he was in NYC didn't even earn a mention either. Did he do steroids too? Do the Steinbrenners just really hate people who are anti-beating kids?
Regardless, Clemens was sad and that's unfortunate. Well, not really. He's a fat scumbag. But at least his mother-in-law still believes him when he says he never did steroids, so at least ONE person in America believes him.

Er is er een jarig is een verjaardagslied dat gezongen wordt tijdens verjaardagen.

Wanneer een jarig kind in de klas wordt toegezongen, staat hij of zij soms voor de hele groep, eventueel op een (versierde) stoel. Op de zin "dat is hij/zij" wijst iedereen naar de jarige. Op het woord "hoera" steken degenen die het liedje zingen een arm of beide armen de lucht in.

Na het zingen van dit lied wordt meestal meteen het lied Lang zal hij leven aangeheven.

'Decatur County Red': Jessi Alexander Shares Track-By-Track Insight Into Her New Album
Dia Dipasupil, Getty Images
Longtime hitmaker Jessi Alexander made her new album, Decatur County Red, more or less by accident.
"Basically ... I was like, 'I'm just gonna go cut some songs,'" she, with a laugh, told a small, enthusiastic Nashville crowd at a listening party in early 2020. "I'm just gonna go track -- at the best place in the world, Southern Ground! With the best musicians! -- but I still didn't know I was making a record."
Alexander has always been a prolific songwriter, but she says she never could have created this specific album without help from a house she inherited in West Tennessee. It's her grandmother's house, and the house she grew up in, but Alexander had no idea that her grandmother had left it to her until she got a phone call saying it was about to be auctioned off since she hadn't paid the back taxes.
The singer immediately went to claim the cabin, and when she arrived, she found a house badly in need of repair -- but full of memories. Throughout a series of trips to West Tennessee with her family (including her husband, fellow songwriter Jon Randall), Alexander began rebuilding the house. At the same time, she was also rebuilding her relationship with her past and, ultimately, forging the themes of Decatur County Red.
"It's every stitch of the fabric," she insists, speaking of the house's relationship to her new album. "I thought I was just getting this pain in the ass -- like, 'How many thousands of dollars am I going to have to spend remodeling this place?!' But when I first starting going back there, I just rediscovered my roots.
"I reconnected with my childhood memories. My musical influences. My pride about where I come from. The people that I was raised around," she continues. "That's why I'm so proud that the album's called Decatur County Red, because that is ground zero of me and who I am."
Below, Alexander walks through Decatur County Red, track by track, and explains how each song came to be on the album. Read on to learn the stories behind the singer's deeply personal project.

I guess the solution to the first problem would be, to send the IP address of the computer along with each sign in function call.
This way whenever a user signs in from a different IP address. Any function call from the old IP address should be ignored by the server (throw an exception).
As for your second concern, I am not sure about the Internet. I don't know if this is true but i guess remoting works only in a L.A.N.
Thank you very much for your quick reply. I will work on your hint and come back to you.
You have already mentioned that this product is freeware. But is there any license when the source code is used to build commercial applications?
You are not good in C#, but i have never programmed in VB.NET. I'm sorry. I can't help.
But believe me, C# is a better programming language. You should consider learning C# thoroughly.
Everytime i run this code i get a problem with my proxy server.
Dont suppose you know how to run authentification on the proxy server using this code do you?
Could you please specify the exact exception message. Maybe i could figure something out.
The request failed with HTTP status 407: Proxy authentication required.
This occours everytime i attempt to access the IServer Object to sign a user in.
I have tried creating a WebProxy object and assigning NetWorkCredentials to the Credentials property but this dosn't work either.
Regards and thank you for your help.
Sorry boss. I am a beginner with this. It seems that I can't help you.
First of all GREAT JOB!!!
I don't know if it works, just had no time to check it, but it can be a good hint.
"Bypass Proxy Server for local address" in control panel.
Thanks everyone for your help. I will give them a try today and let you know the results.
Just as a short note, i would like everyone to know i bloody hate corporate proxy servers, there the bain of my existance at the moment.
Ok I had the same problem. I merely shutdown the proxy in Explorer. You see the problem is whenever you send a message through http, the damn message first goes into the proxy to authenticate itself. The only way I could find out was to uncheck the proxy settings from under Lan Settings on IE!
I'm having some trouble converting this to VB.NET.
Can you provide a VB.NET version?
I just quickly checked your article, and I must say it's a nice example of remoting. Good work!

Is it just us, or does Prince Harry's new girlfriend look suspiciously like Pippa?
Looks like someone has a type.
Prince Harry has become the Prince of headlines recently thanks to his unconfirmed relationship with Suits actor Meghan Markle. The two reportedly started dating back in June, and thanks to a handful of Instagram posts where Markle is wearing a bracelet similar to Harry's (gasp!) and standing outside of Buckingham palace (what?) and drinking tea (no!) the world is now preparing for a royal wedding.
The two were recently spotted in Toronto, where Markle films her series, and reportedly attended a Halloween party together. No word on whether she dressed up as a future Queen of England, but hey, if the crown fits?
Like Harry, Meghan is heavily involved in volunteerism and has traveled around the world raising money for various charities. Unlike Harry, Meghan is divorced, something the British press is having a field day with.
With Harry's big bro William as the next in line to have his face put on the British pound, Harry's dating pool is a little more open to people outside the British upper crust. Apparently it's open all the way to Hollywood, which is great, since we think these two make a cute, charity-loving couple.
There is one thing that we have noticed about Markle that we didn't before she was connected to the royal family.
…or maybe it's just us.

Myrtle Beach murders increase over the summer, violent crime down overall
by: Manny Martinez
Posted: Oct 13, 2021 / 09:30 PM EDT / Updated: Oct 14, 2021 / 08:41 AM EDT
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) — The Myrtle Beach Police Department released data detailing violent crime statistics over the summer months in the city.
News13 requested the number of violent crimes in Myrtle Beach between Memorial Day and Labor Day for each of the past three summers (2019, '20 and '21) from Myrtle Beach police through a Freedom of Information Act request on Sept. 7 and received the report Tuesday.
Data showed the overall number of violent crimes in Myrtle Beach was down summer 2021 compared to 2020 but up slightly compared to 2019. The number of reports for murder in 2019 and 2020 was one each. In 2021, the number jumped to four.
Myrtle Beach City Council member Gregg Smith said violent crime in the city has been declining for more than a decade.
Myrtle Beach police, mayor say summer was 'success' but department needs more officers
"We're in a consistent downtrend of violent crimes," Smith said. "If you pick out one statistic you're going to get whatever you're looking for if you're just looking for one statistic. But overall the crime trend in Myrtle Beach is down."
Smith said the data from Myrtle Beach police stands out because there were so many people visiting the city this summer.
"We had the busiest summer ever, and yet we still kept crime down," Smith said.
Smith said the men and women of the police department are most responsible for the decrease in violent crimes but added that community members had a hand in the decrease as well.
"Public safety is a shared responsibility," Smith said. "I think the community has taken that to heart. If they see something, they're saying something."

One of the ways people are getting involved with crime prevention is through their neighborhood watch program, of which there are more than 30 such groups in Myrtle Beach. Bettie Olivieri is a member of the Seaside South Neighborhood Watch.
"We're just trying to make a difference," Smith said. "The people that get on the internet, I call them keyboard quarterbacks, don't complain. Be a part. Do something to help."
She said people in the city need to be active in the community and have to get to know their neighbors and their neighborhood so they can report anything that seems out of the ordinary.
"We need to be the eyes and ears of our police officers," Olivieri said. "They're overwhelmed."
Smith said the people responsible for this summer's murders in Myrtle Beach were all arrested by police within three days. He said that fact underscores the city's commitment to fighting crime.
"If you come to commit crime in Myrtle Beach, you are going to be arrested," Smith said. "You are going to be locked up. We will not stand for it."

(QUEEN CITY NEWS) -- North Carolina served as a training ground for many members of the paramilitary group, The Oath Keepers, in the weeks leading up to the deadly riots at the Capitol on January 6, according to new documents from the Justice Department.
Federal investigators have now released a timeline they say shows members of the Oath Keepers, including the so-far unnamed North Carolina leader, were actively planning the attack for weeks.

Q: Haskell Platform vs homebrew I recently downloaded the Haskell Platform from the Haskell website. Under the suggestion of the newer answers in this, I blindly ran brew install ghc cabal-install and cabal install cabal cabal-install. Did I install two versions of Haskell on my machine? What should I do to fix any problems?

A: It doesn't necessarily lead to problems to have multiple versions (I think I have three different versions installed). If you need the disk space uninstall one of the two (instructions for the brew one, for the packaged platform it seems you should be able to use the command sudo uninstall-hs but check it yourself first). If you don't mind the lost disk space, you only have to make sure you have your PATH set up correctly, with the directory containing the ghc binary you want to use in your PATH, before the directory of the other one.
Also, cabal install cabal-install (which you might need to run to update cabal) tends to install cabal in a different place than the platform/brew do, so there, again, you need to make sure your PATH is appropriately set. Normally cabal installs executables in ~/.cabal/bin (local installs) or /usr/local/bin (global installs). The directory containing cabal should go before the others, because an old version of cabal might stick around and you want the new one to be found first.
You probably know this but you can use which ghc and which cabal to check the location of the executable actually being used.
To make things even more complicated, lately it's popular to use Stack, which can also install ghc for you (I find this very convenient, everything is kept in a very controlled environment). So depending on your experience/use case this might be worth looking at as well (but if you just want to try Haskell I recommend you stick with the platform or the brew installation).

When there is a need for work in close proximity to an open airplane door, safety is the most important thing. The AirCrew Emergency System integrates an emergency parachute with a floor-anchored safety harness & tether. Compatible with the Aircrew CYPRES 2 AAD, this modern system greatly reduces risk to Air Crew Members and maximizes efficiency.
The Aircrew Emergency Parachute system is a multi-role system designed to enhance Aircrew safety during in-flight cargo operations. The system consists of an emergency bail-out parachute and a crew restraint harness.
The system is a modified 303 Para-Cushion, with our patented Pop Top pilot chute which allows the pilot chute to be deployed without interference from flaps while providing superior pin protection. The Aircrew Emergency Parachute system features Confor© foam allowing the wearer increased level of comfort not achieved with most other systems.
The fully-adaptable, fully-customizable system can use existing aircraft retention cables or use a stand alone lanyard, which can be customized to suit individual needs.
Should the need arise the Aircrew Emergency Parachute system can be used as an emergency parachute. Just don the system and exit the aircraft. No modifications are needed.

Two key functions for gauging the worth of an investment with an irregular cashflow are internal rate of return (IRR) and the modified internal rate of return (MIRR). We look at how to use both of them.
Spreadsheets take the hard work out of calculations, but you still need to know how to do them. Financial Functions with a spreadsheet is all about understanding and reasoning, using a spreadsheet to do the actual calculation.
Percentages are something familiar to us all - but they present many pitfalls that need to be avoided.
We explore the idea of borrowing money for a specified rate of interest or earning interest on an investment. The ideas of Present and Future Value PV and FV are introduced.
We explore the idea of the `effective' annual interest rate and then on to the Effective Interest Rate/Annual Percentage Rate, the much quoted EIR or APR.
In the first of three chapters covering the way in which interest rate affects cashflow we explore savings - but first we introduce some general ideas that apply equally to annuities and repayment loans.
Repayment loans are the subject of the last of three chapters which look at the effects of regular cashflows.
The principles of present and future value apply even if the cash flow is irregular. The calculations are just a matter of breaking down the cash flow calculations into simple steps.
How is it possible to evaluate investments that generate irregular cashflows? We explore how NPV can be used to make investment decisions.
The IRR is perhaps the most complicated of the measures of the value of an investment with an irregular cash flow. Understanding exactly what it means is a good step toward making correct use of it.
In the previous chapter, in which we explored how NPV (Net Present Value) can be used to make investment decisions, we found that the NPV is a very good and stable measure of the worth of an investment.
However, there are many others and perhaps the best known, and most complicated is the Internal Rate of Return (IRR). Understanding exactly what it means is a good step toward making correct use of it.
IRR is the interest rate which reduces the NPV of the total cash flow to zero. In other words, it is the interest rate that you need to equal the investment. Clearly, if the NPV is zero then so is the NFV (Net Future Value).
Also notice that if the cashflows correspond to either a repayment loan or an annuity then the IRR is equal to the usual quoted interest rate.
accept any investment with an IRR greater than the prevailing interest rate.
Of course this raises the question of which the prevailing interest rate should be?
If you are comparing the investment against the alternative of a safe investment then you should use the prevailing rate for deposits. If you are planning to borrow the money for the investment then the the rate for loans should be used.
Also notice that the IRR calculation assumes that the money in the cash flow could be always be invested at the IRR rate even though this rate my not be available on the open market. That is, if the IRR is 10% then this gives a zero NPV or NFV assuming that any cash in the cash flow can be invested at 10%, which might well not be the case.
This is considered to be a defect in the IRR as a measure of the worth of an investment - see MIRR for more information. Put another way, we are assuming that the value of money over time is governed by the computed IRR and not the prevailing safe market rates.
It should come as no great surprise that the IRR cannot be calculated directly.
where the guess is an initial guess to start the iterative process and range is the part of the row or column that contains the cashflow data. Usually guess is an optional parameter.
A subtle point is that while the NPV function generally works with cashflows that occur at the end of each time period, the IRR function generally allows for the first cashflow to be at the start of the first time period. In other words, the IRR function assumes that the investment will be a conventional one with a cash outflow at the start and then positive or negative flows thereafter.
For example, the cashflow shown in below has the NPV and NFV assuming an 8% interest rate as shown.
where RAND is a random number generating function.
IRR is a very seductive measure of the worth of a cashflow because it looks so much like a simple interest rate that can be compared with other interest rates but it has a number of serious problems.
The first and most quoted of the defects in the IRR is the fact that it is possible for there to be more than one value that satisfies its definition.
If you look at the graph of the NPV for a range of percentage rates then for the conventional investment cashflow given above the curve has the overall shape shown below.
You can see that the NPV falls as I increases. This is because the increase in the discount factor makes the positive cash sums worth less and less. Notice that the IRR is the value of I where the curve crosses the x axis that is the value of I for which the NPV is zero.
If you draw the same graph for an unconventional type of investment, where the cashflow is at first positive and then negative, the result is a graph that increases with I.
This curve is for the cashflow $4000 followed by -$1000 after each of four years. The reason that the NPV increases with I is that the negative sums are discounted more strongly as I increases and so the NPV actually increases.
In both of these cases there is a sensible value for the IRR because there is exactly one place where the graph cuts the x axis. However, it is possible to find cashflows which are a mixture of the conventional and the unconventional. This produces an NPV graph that has the characteristics of the two shown here.


He hired Freeh and company very early to outsource compliance. Remember when they caught, through undercover work, an SC football player getting a ride on a golf cart from a student who bought a similar looking golf cartto the campus owned ones. The student was trying to become an agent, but they squelched him and threatened legal action after legal action.
c) they have no awarenes.
It puts people under penalty of perjury and liable for damages if they lie. For example, a liar like San Clemente can lie with impunity here, but if he signs under penalty of perjury and then lies again it can go badly for him. The approach makes the employer the victim.

A brief prayer is offered that you can add to your daily prayers this week. The scripture is from our Sunday Service Bulletin for today. Today is the fourth Advent sermon where we explore "Christmas" as an adjective instead of a noun. The prayer and an idea for the devotion conclusion came from the LSB, page 2124.
When I mention "Christmas cheer", some folks think of a liquid libation of some sort. If I say just "cheer" you might think of what a cheer leader does: shouts of encouragement, praise, and joy. The kind of "Christmas Cheer" we are talking about today is cheerfulness, optimism, or confidence. The text today uses a foot race as a metaphor for life. Our existence here is more like a marathon than a sprint and the writer urges us to have endurance to make it as a Christian all the way to the finish. We do have cheerleaders: the "cloud of witnesses" are the saints who have gone before us and are praying and cheering us on. Our joy this time of year should be about celebrating the birth of our Savior and the knowledge that He would give His life that we might live eternally. Have you noticed how so many of our uplifting Christmas songs have these words: Happy, Jolly, Merry, Joy, Wonderful? This time of year can cause us to be overwhelmed by the stress of earthly events. If this happens can we focus on the fact that Jesus, through His grace has blessed us and in Him our race is already won! Let's crank up the carols and try for some Christmas Cheer.

Hetalia Axis Powers Explanation Of Series English Literature Essay
The series by Hidekazu Himaruya foremost started off as studies of on-line amusing strips but as popularity grew, the latter was subsequently adapted into an alive series in 2006. Although the series are voiced in Nipponese, due to its popularity, a few on-line life communities have created captions for the series. Unlike other Nipponese life series where episodes are 30 proceedingss in length, in Hetalia Axis Powers, each episode merely last five proceedingss.
What is instead alone of the series is that each character in the series represent a state and are hence named after the states they represent, every bit good as holding stereotyped personalities of each state. For illustration, Germany is a really serious and hardworking individual while Italy is a really easy traveling individual and slightly disorganised.
Hetalia Axis Powers is based on three supporters: Germany, Japan and Italy. Other of import characters are England, China, Russia, France and the United States ( referred to as America in the series ) . Other sub-characters include Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, Austria, Spain and so on.
The series focuses on the event of First and Second World War, every bit good as the modern times. A batch of the episodes make merriment of the stereotypes, historical events, the relationships between states, every bit good as the modern issues and how each state perceives themselves. In a manner the series condense historical and political events into merely a few seconds of events that are portrayed by alive characters and account texts.
I have chosen to compose my essay on this alive series because of its fluctuation in characters and personalities. Due to the fact that there are many characters, some which do non look in the series every bit frequently as others, it is hard to happen aˆ¦ but on the other manus, the fluctuation of characters and personalities besides give a batch of stuffs to work with.
Psychoanalysis of Hetalia Axis Powers:
This essay will concentrate chiefly on Freud 's dream reading, psychosexual phases and emasculation anxiousness. Freud 's footings, association, condensation and repression will be used to analyze some characters in Hetalia Axis Powers and their relationships with one another. The series will be referred to as Hetalia. The subject of this paper will be the links between stereotypes and Freud 's depth psychology.
Although Hetalia is an life series, one could besides state that it represents the writer 's imaginativeness and therefore, possibly it is possible to use Freud 's dream reading on the series. The fanciful, in this instance the sketch life, allows the writer to undertake subjects that could otherwise be deemed sensitive, such as labelling a nationality with stereotypes or doing light and using sarcasm to historical events such as universe wars. Equally good, because the life bases itself on existent historical events, if Freud 's depth psychology traits ( such as those mentioned in the paragraph above ) can be found in the series, it could to a little extent be a cogent evidence to back up Freud 's theory.
By utilizing the life to portray those issues and to render them amusing, the writer is utilizing the complex number to travel over the corporate censoring. Like the witting head where there is a opinion of what information is appropriate or inappropriate to a state of affairs, or more utmost in the instance of repression where unpleasant memory is non made readily available, there is a corporate mute degree of credence to unfavorable judgment and tabu in a society.
Jung himself used to paint, pull and sculpt things from his dream, so it could be said that art is a signifier of showing the unconscious, observing that Hetalia 's first visual aspect was that of studies of on-line comedian, which was later turned into an alive series due to its popularity. There is less limitation to one 's look in art.
There are many concealed symbols and hints in each character 's visual aspects, which link them to their states. For most portion of the series, the characters are have oning their state 's military uniform from the period of Second World War. Their physical visual aspects besides reflect the stereotypes of their states. For illustration Germany is good built, blond with bluish eyes, while Japan is smaller in stature and has black hair. Put merely, by looking at each character, there are ascriptions from their visual aspects to their states. This makes Freud 's psychoanalytic " association " applicable in this instance. Even more so, each character 's personalities further reflect their stereotypes.
I have chosen to analyze the character called Sealand. This character represents the Principality of Sealand, a sea garrison off the cost of Suffolks, England, which claims to be an independent crowned head province. Sealand 's character 's visual aspect is that of a immature male child, have oning a crewman outfit. During his first visual aspect in the series ( episode 21 ) , he gives an account about his state 's state of affairs, how he wants to be recognised as a state while none of the other states recognise him. There are two theories that come up during this episode: free association and repression.
Looking at Sealand 's visual aspect, one can subtract some information by utilizing the free association theory ; a little immature male child represents a little state in its early phase of development, the phase where it does non yet possess much experience. His crewman outfit indicates that his state is associated with the sea. Subsequently on in the episode, Sealand goes to an international meeting but is ignored by other states because no other states recognise him as a state. Determined to go a state, he asks Latvia how he can go a state. Latvia, surprised by Sealand 's size, tells him of negative points of being a state but Sealand is determined to go a state. Here is a good illustration of repression. Sealand 's witting is barricading out the ideas and grounds to why he can non go a state. He does non desire to admit any grounds why he can non go a state. This precisely reflects the current state of affairs of existent Sealand. Currently the Bates household runs the sea garrison, with merely a population of two people ( harmonizing to wikipedia ) . The 550m2 sea garrison even has its ain currency.
Here it can be seen that Hetalia is really reflecting a state of affairs of the existent universe, compacting it into a few proceedingss of life. One can besides state that there is a instance of corporate repression, so to talk, from the population of Sealand. Due to its size and nature, a sea garrison such as Sealand can ne'er go a state.
On another subject, the series show the contrast in cultural stereotypes between Germany and Italy. Germany is portrayed in the series as a quiet, hardworking individual, is ever following regulations and is really tidy. He is slightly introvert. Italy on the other manus, is depicted as easy-going, instead lazy and disorganized. He is extravert.
Here Freud 's psychosexual development can be depicted from these two characters. Notably, it could be said that those two characters are fixated on the anal phase but at two resistances. Germany is anal retentive because he is a perfectionist. Episode 27 clearly portrays this point. Italy wants to cook for Germany, inquiring to borrow his kitchen. Germany agrees but at the same clip, while Italy is cooking, Germany is running about the kitchen cleaning up after Italy. Germany 's personality is compulsive when it comes to maintaining order and tidiness.
On the other manus, Italy is anal expulsive. He does non care about order or regulations, but follow his feelings. He does non command his impulses, which on the other manus, led him to show his emotions freely, unlike Germany who finds it hard to show his emotions and demands. Italy 's deficiency of control goes farther to demo that unlike Germany, whenever he faces the enemy ( the Allies ) , he has a wont of give uping by beckoning a white flag. In other words, he gives in easy to his desires and lacks self-denial at times.
As good, if we go back to free association, from both characters ' visual aspects, one can subtract some of their personality traits. Germany 's visual aspect is that of a tall, well-built adult male have oning a military uniform. His hair is ever swept back neatly. One is most likely to tie in his figure to order, rigidity and earnestness. Italy 's visual aspect is that of a smiling immature adult male, with a loose strand of hair that is ever indicating outwards. His relaxed visual aspect fits the stereotype that people form the southern Europe are by and large more relaxed and unfastened.
Last, there is the emasculation anxiousness theory. France 's behavior in episode 12 is a good illustration of this. France tries to coerce England to get married him in an effort to salvage himself from problems with the Suez Canal crisis. He admits that he does non like the thought but he has no other manner out in order to salvage himself from farther licking and shame. Marriage in this instance means organizing an confederation between the two states. The emasculation anxiousness here is symbolic, in the sense that France is traveling to extreme lengths to salvage his pride.
A more apparent illustration is in episode 10, when France feels offended to non hold been invited to a meeting. His fright of being undistinguished surfaces and he tries to believe back of his glorious yesteryear, merely to retrieve the times when his pride was shunned by licking during wars. His fright of non being recognised and his compulsion of desiring to be a seen as a strong state portray the emasculation anxiousness and in order to deviate his anxiousness, he picks on weaker states, which merely lost a conflict, such as when Prussia took control of Silesia during the War of the Austrian Succession. In the episode, France can be seen running towards a defeated Austria and slapping him on the caput. France resorts to black actions in order to do himself experience of import and slightly more important.
In Hetalia, the relationship between the characters ' personalities, visual aspects and their stereotypes are linked through free association. Furthermore, the series make a really interesting topic for depth psychology because each character has their ain personalities and issues, giving a broad scope of subjects to take from. Stereotypes form those characters and by organizing those characters, different psychological facets are formed. This creates a nexus between stereotypes and Freud 's depth psychology.
Although this is an life, one has to maintain in head that the series bases itself instead to a great extent on historical and current political events. The theanthropism characters portray a certain degree of corporate consciousness of each state. Of class there is no black and white boundary line line here, but one can state that it can be deducted from the series that Freud 's theories is present in society and people carry the traits from his theory. One could state that the writer applies condensation to the stereotypes and distill them into characters, which make short visual aspects for 5 proceedingss. Therefore it is no surprise that the series tend to generalize each state because each episode merely lasts five proceedingss so there is a demand to distill information.
However, after the depth psychology of the characters and their stereotypes, another inquiry comes to mind: how are stereotypes formed? Although people admit that stereotypes do transport certain truths to them, there is clearly a nexus between each state 's stereotypes and each Freudian theory. Does it connote that a civilization is more inclined towards one theory or the other, in the manner the kids are raised? Regardless of what the reply is, there does be a nexus between the stereotypes and Freud 's depth psychology theories.

In M TOWN Middle School everything revolves around the most powerful letter in the world.
SCHOOL'S OUT.In M TOWN Middle School everything revolves around the most powerful letter in the world.
School in BMW M Town is the next chapter about the place where real M fans feel at home. And this also applies to the little ones: real high performance car fans have probably always dreamed of this kind of school. The protagonists? An exclusive BMW M5 Competition in the BMW Individual varnish Macadamia metallic, a creative student and his proud father. Even in M Town, school lessons are on the agenda for the next generation of car enthusiasts – even if these lessons are a bit different.
Just like every single BMW M, there is something M Town Middle School most certainly is not: ordinary. For a M Town typical ambience of the school - located in E60 street number V10 - remained therefore hardly a detail untouched. Inside as well as outside the classrooms. But have a look yourself.
Would you have guessed? The redesign of M Town Middle School was a classic cloak-and-dagger operation. Every single locker was individually redesigned in elaborate details and initially received the BMW M colors. Then it was decorated appropriately.
Many more props for the film set found their way from Munich to the shooting location. The students at M Town Middle School are wearing very special dungarees: the proper ones from the Munich development site of BMW M GmbH.
The BMW X6 M vehicle model on principal Mrs. Kirk's desk also belongs to the official BMW M product manager responsible for the model series. There's other highlights like the trophies in the hall – for winning the "24h of M Town" among others – that surely hadn't been seen by anybody so far. Those who pay close attention also recognize the special formula notation students must memorize at M Town Middle School.
The real students were on holidays, but about 20 of them came to the shoot anyway – and filled the ranks for a somewhat different history lesson. Let's be honest: Who wouldn't love to go to school that has the eventful history of the BMW M3 on its curriculum?
Did you recognize the vehicle model that the student draws in art class? Watch the movie again and we'll resolve at the end of the article.
For those who noticed the props from the Design Class: the clay model of the BMW M5 in the foreground is based on the original model developed by BMW M. In addition, the model sketch in the background was an original drawing by Seungmo Lim, the exterior designer of the series, and brought from Munich to the set - just two of many details that ensure the highest degree of authenticity in film.
Want another fun fact? You remember the reason for Mr Adams' visit to school? Right, his son's handwriting. If you had trouble deciphering to which exciting place in M Town the notes referred – we are happy to assist. Without any handwritten peculiarities, of course.
What's missing now is the promised solution. The model on the paper is, of course, the new BMW Z4. What other interesting details did you notice in "School in BMW M Town"?
The figures in brackets refer to the vehicle with 7-speed M double-clutch transmission with Drivelogic.

Alexander Stevens was born in Scotland in 1730. He probably trained as a mason but, by 1775 he was also the largest tenant farmer on Adam Gordon's estate at Prestonhall, Midlothian. Around 1773, a new bridge was built over the River Clyde at Hynford where Stevens was the contractor and probably the designer. This bridge had five arches and cutwaters similar to those used largely in France. In 1784 he built a bridge at Ancrum over the River Teviot and this bridge is probably considered his finest work of architecture. It consists of three spans of average 5.85m (19 ft), rather low rise arch rings and finished in pink sandstone.
Stevens training as a craftsman is apparent in all his bridges with the ornaments and decorations on the finished faces. His work also highlights that he kept himself informed of the latest techniques in bridge building.
From 1784 to 1796 he designed and constructed many bridges which are still in existence today, such as the Bridge of Dun (1785/7), Bridge at Ayr (1786) and Tivot Bridge (1795). In 1794 a construction firm Alexander Stevens & Son built a timber bridge across the tidal zone of the South Esk.

Between 1791-1793 Stevens travelled to Dublin where he designed and constructed a single arch span (31.7m / 104 ft) bridge called Sarah's Bridge, over the River Liffey in Dublin. It is not similar to his previous designs, but was the longest arch span bridge in Ireland, until the construction of Lucan Bridge in 1816 located upriver on the River Liffey.
Stevens's largest contract was not designed by himself but by his friend John Rennie. It was the Lune Aqueduct, which carries the Lancaster Canal over the River Lune in Lancashire on five stone arches. It was completed in 1797.
Stevens died in 1796 and the aqueduct was finished by his son, Alexander Stevens Junior.

By now many people will be aware the Federal Government brought in some significant changes to the rules around superannuation. If you missed it you can read about them in some of our recent blog posts.
But for Queensland Government employees - including anyone who works for Queensland Health - there was one more big change at the beginning of the financial year. For the first time it is no longer compulsory for Queensland Health employees to use QSuper as their superannuation fund. Queensland Health staff are now free to use any fund on the market or even a self-managed fund.
The big question of course, is should you switch?
It's an understandable reaction when given a choice for the first time to want to exercise that choice. Many may assume that QSuper's performance might not stack up given they had a completely captive market.
But the reality is that despite tens of thousands of people having no choice but use QSuper, their performance as a super fund has been quite consistent.
In 2017 and 2016 they were named Super Fund of the Year by Choice Magazine. They have had consistently low fees and strong investment performance. For younger medical professionals, they have a good choice of funds that are well suited to the accumulation phase. It's a solid record.
To start a self-managed super fund (SMSF): some may be attracted to the extra control that can be gained by managing your super yourself. The big question you need to ask is this: am I confident I can achieve superior investment returns than what I'm currently getting at QSuper? If the answer to that question is yes, a SMSF might be for you. But keep in mind there is a significant amount of work that goes into managing a SMSF and the penalties for making a mistake can be severe. Most health professionals already have plenty to keep themselves busy with their day jobs!
You want to purchase a commercial property: something a lot of our clients have done is use their superannuation funds to purchase their own rooms. This certainly has some merit, but you should keep in mind that you can do this AND still keep a QSuper account.
You're now retired: once you're no longer working it can be advantageous to have greater control over asset allocation, investment management and income drawdown. If this is something you think you could benefit from, Medical Financial can help guide you through this process.
The simple - if slightly unromantic - answer for the majority of Queensland Health employees is that there may be good reason to stay with QSuper. That certainly doesn't mean you shouldn't explore your options - especially if you fit into one of the categories mentioned above.
But the absolute worst reason to make a financial change is simply because you can.
