Monster Jam: Steel Titans 2 (2021)
This game might be my new go to example of a botched sequel. I wondered to myself the entire time I was playing it, how a game with so much potential be squandered so badly?
Steel Titans 2 was just released and had a steam sale bundle containing both the first and new game together. It caught my eye and I didn't know if I wanted to spend $30 on a Monster Truck game without knowing what it played like. Since the first game was only $5 on sale, I figured I'd play that and judge the sequel on the first games merits. And if I didn't do that, I would have been very turned off of the entire genre because of this new game.
Steel Titans 2 takes everyone great about the first game and ruins it completely. I really can't find anything worth mentioning that is good about the game as a whole. So this might be more of a rant than anything else.
The tone of the game is messy and incongruent. Right off the bat, during the tutorial, the game has a voice narrated AI take you through the basics. T.I.N.A. is imitating the quirky AI that feels like it was written from an Hollywood screenplay writer for a knockoff superhero movie. Then the game drops you into an open world that is much larger than the first but in a over-the-top cartoon feeling world. Like a theme park made for monster trucks like anthropomorphic characters. It's bizarre. Gigantic dog houses with bouncing doors, massive skyscraper sized fire hydrants.
The open world is much more fleshed out as a hub world connecting all the story mode areas together, but can be completely skipped over with the simple press of the start button.
The story/career mode is now broken up into chapters, 21 in all, and has no cohesion to the actual game itself. There is no profession other than you go in order. No bringing theming, just a bunch of races. The same head to head and stunt races are here from the first game, but there are a couple other new additions. A waypoint race that takes you through the massive levels and I was only able to do one that was actually fun? Where you could make your own path to the checkpoints and cut massive corners off the race by going straight up and over mountains instead of around them.
The other new event is a demolition track where you must destroy as many items on the track as possible. Sadly this sounds much more fun than it really is. Tons of similar items like a porta-potty, boxes and even mini blimps are placed around the track and you must run them over in a certain amount of time. But the catch is that you have to combo them all together and the combo meter diminishes rather quickly, so miss a single item and you lose your combo. If that wasn't bad enough, running the items over slows you down and just plain out doesn't feel fun.
The levels range from realistic stadium events to cartoon lands like a spooky horror themed level or a sci-fi rip off of the first level from Halo. As I was driving through these baffling choices for this game, I was reminded of games like Speed Devils or California Speed, where you would have goofy levels that added to the character of the game. These just feel about as generic as humanly possible. I still remember levels like the Santa Monica roller coaster from California Speed or the track that features a tornado in Speed Devils. Here, every level is so bland and forgettable that I don't even want to take the time to describe it.
The major issue with the game however, and the one that really brings this down from not just a disappointing game but an honest to goodness bad game is the physics.
The graphics, seem like a downgrade or at least really desaturated from the original, and with the cartoonish nature of the game itself makes the game seem tonaly weird and straddling a line.
After playing the first game on sale for $5 a couple days before I bought this new sequel, I wouldn't suggest anyone buy this. The game seems like a much inferior version in every single way. The original physics were more of an exaggeration to real life, but in Steel Titans 2 they are 100% broken. The power up system really messes with the racing aspect of the game and the tonal shift into a much more cartoon based look again makes the game feel at odds with itself. Sometimes you'll be racing in a realistic stadium, others you'll be driving up to a 10 story high fire hydrant or dog house to unlock new parts of the really off putting hub world.
To say this game is a disappointment is an understatement, as I could see the potential. The hub world allows for more exploration and secrets to be found, the levels could have very interesting environmental changes that brought to mind Speed Devils or California Speed... But sadly the quality of the level design is baffling and making the game straddle this line of fun racer and kart shooter is only further destroyed by the horrible physics engine that seems completely broken. Cars bumping into you can either send you across the road or magnetize to you never letting go. Random clips into geometry making restarting events necessary and the slightest bump can send you flying off course even at low speeds. The opponent difficulty curve is oddly set as even on easy some of the final events can be difficult as the levels are designed for single racers at incredibly slow speeds.
Everything about this game is just inferior to the original game and really does a disservice to the Monster Truck racing genre that is poorly represented in gaming now. I wasn't expecting a whole lot from a licensed game where development must have been hit a bit to the global pandemic, but even with the bar set particularly low... This game doesn't even meet it halfway.
With updates to the physics engine, I can imagine this game getting marginally better, but not enough to ever get me to play it again. 4 hours to complete the main campaign was enough. Too bad I wasted $20 on it, I'm glad I played the original first because this game would have really soured me on trying a much better game afterwards.

Roadway Fatalities Rising: CDOT Director Blames Distracted Driving
by Richard Banta | Apr 3, 2017 | Uncategorized |
The Denver Post is reporting that the top transportation official in the state has cited distracted driving as the root cause for a recent spike in roadway deaths in Colorado.
Shailen Bhatt, the executive director of the Colorado Department Transportation (CDOT), said the state has seen the maximum effect that system engineering, such as grade-separated crossings and dangerous intersection removal, has on traffic-related deaths. According to Bhatt, outside of statewide education programs, dangerous driving behavior is not something the state can immediately address and help curb.
CDOT says that distracted driving occurs when a driver does something while the vehicle is in motion that takes his or her focus and attention off of the road (https://www.codot.gov/safety/distracteddriving). This can include eating, drinking, texting, talking on a phone, reading, watching videos or dealing with children, pets or other passengers in the car.
In 2016, just over 600 people died in traffic accidents in Colorado. This figure includes 15 motorcyclist deaths – the most state has had over a one-year period – and a 15-year high of 16 bicyclist and 84 pedestrian deaths. The total number of deaths is up 11 percent from 2015's tally of 547. Bhatt noted that around 90 percent of crashes are caused by human error, which is why these incidents are referred to as crashes and not accidents.
Colorado State Patrol Chief Col. Scott Hernandez has asked the public to help keep the figure down by taking personal accountability for their driving actions, and both officials are strongly encouraging the use of seat belts.
This 11 percent hike in deaths on Colorado's roads has outpaced that state's estimated population growth, which was 1.7 percent back in 2016 according to the state demographer's office. Currently, 33 people have died on state roads since the start of the year, and this includes the tragic accident involving five Bennett High School students. As covered by the Denver Post, five students cut class in January and ended up in a rollover crash on East 38th Avenue. Two students died and the three others were seriously injured, and the crash remains under investigation.
According to data from CDOT, the roads of Adams County were the deadliest over the course of 2016, accounting for 58 crashes and the deaths of 60 people. Weld County came in next, with 57 deaths in collisions, followed by the 54 roadway deaths in Denver. Both Jefferson and El Paso counties saw 48 deaths each on their roadways. At least 276 deaths have happened on the roads of Colorado's cities, with Denver coming in with the highest city total and the cities of Aurora and Colorado Springs following with 31 fatalities each.
Distracted driving remains an issue in the state and elsewhere across the nation despite the increase in public education on the subject, particularly when it comes to the dangers of cellphone use and driving. If you have been the victim of a distracted driver, speak to an experienced auto accident attorney today to help ensure all of your rights are protected.

1. How do I start filing taxes with 1040 Abroad?
2. How much does it cost to use 1040 Abroad services?
3. Can 1040 Abroad help me to renounce my citizenship?
Completing serious and demanding obligations, such as Income Tax Returns, can be hard work that requires a lot of knowledge and attention. Putting all the information together and finding a proper way to prepare and finish all of the requirements within the deadline is not an easy job. That's why 1040 Abroad is here. We simplify the procedure, making sure your effort is minimal and that you get the best service in a short period of time. After you contact us, we will respond to your inquiry within one business day.
The first step in starting the process is populating the '1040Abroad questionnaire'. We will send you this questionnaire, which you can fill in with all the necessary information regarding the tax year(s) you need to file the returns for. While answering the '1040Abroad questionnaire', you can leave a note or any type of comment after every question or statement, if you need to emphasize some information. We will then create a secure lockbox for you where you can upload all of your documents, which we will use to prepare the returns accurately, along with the '1040Abroad questionnaire'.
When all the information is gathered, we will take care of your returns. While we are preparing them, you can always contact us if you need any further information or you have remembered to add something that might be useful for your tax return. Prepared returns, as well as other forms that might be required to file, will have instructions that contain all of the necessary information you need to file your returns to the IRS. Reliability, promptness, and transparency are the words that best describe the relationship we have with our clients.
At 1040 Abroad, we offer custom-made tax solutions for each of our clients. We are reliable and work faster than other companies, which is proven by the hundreds of satisfied clients who stay loyal to us after their first experience with the company. We don't bill you on an hourly basis with no guarantee of results; the price you see is the price you pay.
Our professional tax specialists are passionate about helping you with your expat tax case by guiding you through the process. We work to relieve your tax load by minimizing your tax liability and maximizing available deductions.
The answer to that question is 'Yes'. As mentioned previously, 1040 Abroad is here to make your tax obligations easier and simpler, with less money and more reliability. When it comes to renouncing your citizenship, our professionals will prepare the final tax return for you, as well as Form 8854 (the so-called "Exit Tax", if necessary). Assuming that you didn't renounce on January 1st, we will prepare the 1040NR return, as well as the 1040 tax return (dual status return). In cases where you haven't been compliant prior to the renouncing, 1040 Abroad can prepare a "streamlined procedure package" so that you can relinquish your citizenship easier.
Renouncing U.S. citizenship can be a tricky and time-demanding process. That's why we cooperate with professionals in the field of immigration law who will help you to gather the information and renounce as fast as it's possible. If there's a need for it, we will gladly contact our immigration law expert who will help you out. If not, the procedure is practically the same as with regular 1040 tax returns (but with forms that refer to renouncing citizenship): you populate the "1040 Abroad questionnaire" and provide us with the necessary documents and information. Our experts will do the rest – reliably, promptly and transparently.


Editor's note: On Tuesday night, C. Vivian Stringer became the first African-American coach in college basketball history to win 1,000 games. Dawn Staley and Carolyn Peck, the only black coaches to win NCAA Division I women's basketball titles, share their thoughts on how the Basketball Hall of Famer made an impact on their careers.
An example. A mentor. An icon.
I have admired you as a coach for so many years — as a player and later coaching against you. So much of what we are able to accomplish in women's basketball today is because of what you have done. And you have done it in such an elegant way, reminding the rest of us in a profession that doesn't have many African-American women to set the example for being successful, being respectful of the game and having great character when it comes to coaching young women.
You are such a powerful voice in our game, our profession, and never more than when you reach back to those who aspire to continue your legacy of growing our game. Whenever we cross paths, you always take time to share your vision and wisdom, to remind me that what we do, as African-American coaches, has impact beyond our programs and our immediate communities.
I have always embraced my role as dream merchant for my players, but it took your vision to expand mine, to remind me that my reach goes beyond those I see every day. You reminded me to be what you are — an advocate, a voice for our game and for every young woman who wants to participate in it in whatever form or fashion she chooses.
I know that I am not alone. I see the impact you have on so many coaches, like Jolette Law now on our staff, with whom you have shared the landmarks of your journey without insisting that they replicate your specific path. With incredible grace, you tell us what is to come on our coaching journey, give us a head start in thinking about what we will face, but always let us find our own way.
From just one of the many who have benefited from your road to each of these 1,000 career victories, congratulations and thank you. I am so proud of the enormous impact you have had on players and coaches. I can only hope to follow in your footsteps toward something as great as 1,000 wins and, more importantly, as immeasurable as the impact that you have had on so many young people.
Congratulations on winning your 1,000th game. What an amazing accomplishment!!! This celebration is well-deserved. I want to personally thank you for being a trailblazer, a mentor and a role model. You have broken down barriers, and been a soldier for Title IX and an incredible ambassador for women and women's basketball. I am sure there are many more W's in your future.
Thank you, Coach Stringer, for all that you have done for women, for me and for the game.

Q: Laravel 4 separate config files for packages My laravel 4 project has multiple environments set up.
The environments setup are: development is called 'development' and production is called 'production'.
In my app/config folder, I have two extra folders. One for each name of the environment.
See screenshot:

Inside these folders I have separate config files for database.php and app.php.
These are working as expected. Laravel uses my local database configuration when running locally and production when running live.
Now, I've added a new package which requires a config file. This resides in /app/config/packages/greggilbert/config.php.
I need to be able to set different config files the same way I do for the database. So, I assumed creating the same file structure in /development or /production would work, but this does not seem to be the case.
Here is a new screenshot:

A: Package-related, environment-specific configuration files have to be placed in the package's directory within a subdirectory named after the environment. So in your case this would be
app
   - config
      - packages
         - greggilbert
            - recaptcha
               - development
                  - config.php
               - production
                  - config.php

But it can get really ugly and cumbersome in some cases. This can be solved in a (in my opinion) cleaner and more elegant way through enviroment files in your application root directory:
/.env.development.php
<?php
return [

    // any configuration settings for your local environment

    'RECAPTCHA_TEMPLATE' => 'customCaptcha',
    'RECAPTCHA_LANGUAGE' => 'en',

];

That way, you could leave the package directory as it is:
app
   - config
      - packages
         - greggilbert
            - recaptcha
               - config.php

Laravel will load the environment file according to the environment and make the environment variables globally available through getenv(). So now you could just grab the specified template for the current environment with getenv('RECAPTCHA_TEMPLATE') from the config.php.

New York Bill Summary
New York 2020 Medical Aid in Dying Act: A2694 / S3947
A terminally ill, mentally capable adult with a prognosis of six months or less to live has the option to request and take prescription medication that they can decide to take to die peacefully in their sleep, if their suffering becomes unbearable. Read more about medical aid in dying.
Primary Sponsors
Rep. Amy Paulin (D) (House Bill A2694)
Sen. Diane Savino (D) (Senate Bill S3947)
About the Bill
The bill is modeled after the Oregon Death with Dignity Act, which has been in effect for 20 years without a single legally documented instance of abuse or coercion. It includes more than a dozen safeguards:
Patient Protections
The patient must be able to take the medication themselves.
Only people with an incurable and irreversible terminal illness and six-month prognosis confirmed by two doctors are eligible for medical aid in dying. People are not eligible to use the law simply because of their age or disability.
The attending physician must inform the requesting person about all of their end-of-life care options, including hospice, comfort palliative care, and pain and symptom management.
If either doctor has concerns about the person's mental capacity to make healthcare decisions, they must make a referral the person to a mental health professional for an assessment. Medication can't be prescribed for the person until the doctors or mental health professional confirm the person's mental capacity is determined to make their own healthcare decisions.
The person must make two separate requests for the medication, one oral request and one written request. Two people must witness the written request.
Anyone attempting to coerce a person into using medical aid in dying is subject to liable for criminal prosecution.
A terminally ill person can withdraw their request for medication, not take the medication once they have it or otherwise change their mind at any point in time.
Life insurance payments can't be denied to the families of people who use the law just because they used the law.
Provider Protections
No physician, health provider or pharmacist is required to participate.
Healthcare providers have civil and criminal immunity for participating in the law, as long as they comply with all aspects of the law.
State/Federal Regulations
Unused medication must be disposed of in a safe and secure manner, according to the guidelines specified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and New York State Department of Health.
Prescribing doctors must comply with patient medical-record documentation requirements and make records available to the state department of health.
The state department of health is required to issue a publicly available annual report. Identifying information about individual people who use the law and doctors who participate in it is kept confidential.
The underlying illness — not medical aid in dying — will be listed as the cause of death on the death certificate because it this information helps prioritize disease research.
New York Campaign at Compassion & Choices [email protected] https://www.compassionandchoices.org/new-york/
Compassion & Choices launched a robust campaign to authorize medical aid in dying in New York in September 2015. Key highlights include:
Lawmakers first introduced the Medical Aid in Dying Act on May 10, 2016, with nearly 100 C&C supporters visiting the Capitol in support.
On May 23, 2016, the Assembly Health Committee passed the bill. Read our testimony.
C&C has collected over 10,000 petition signatures at state, county, and local fairs, festivals, and events.
Our supporters have met with lawmakers in Albany on our lobby days and in their district offices.
We've built a coalition of supportive organizations representing doctors, seniors and healthcare advocates; and we have helped dozens of New Yorkers tell their stories in the media and in hearings held by the New York State Assembly during the Spring of 2018.

H-1B Nonimmigrant Visa Program
The H-1B non-immigrant worker visa is subject to numerical limitations imposed by Congress. Each fiscal year, beginning on April 1, 65,000 visas are available for those who qualify for 'Specialty Occupations.' Specialty Occupations are defined as those that require a theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge, and the attainment of a bachelor's or higher degree in the specific specialty (or its equivalent) as a minimum for entry into the occupation in the United States.
The laws regarding the H-1B visa are in constant flux and applicants seriously considering this category as a means of working in the U.S. on a temporary basis should stay informed and updated as much as possible. Due to the fact that an applicant's circumstances and the circumstances of his/her dependent family members may require special attention, the following information is not tailored to any one individual but provides general information about this category.
The H-1B visa allows foreign workers to enter the U.S. and work in a variety of fields ranging from architecture and engineering to teaching and medicine. The H-1B visa offers a wide range of employment possibilities and is a logical first step toward permanent immigration.
In order to qualify for H-1B classification, the applicant must have at least a U.S. bachelor's degree or its foreign equivalent AND the job sought must require at least a bachelor's degree or its equivalent. This is not a self-petitioning category; therefore the applicant must have a sponsoring employer in the U.S.
The spouse and unmarried children below the age of 21 are allowed to accompany or join the H-1B worker as H-4 dependents. However, they cannot work unless they qualify for a work visa. H-4 dependents can enroll and attend schools in the U.S. without obtaining a student visa.

Thunder stand pat at NBA trade deadline, likely to enter buyout market
Cody Taylor
February 7, 2019 3:24 pm CT
After weeks of speculation surrounding the NBA trade deadline, the Thunder have opted to stand pat and not make a move prior to the 3 p.m. ET deadline on Thursday.
The Thunder entered the day as a team that had been linked to quite a few players but ultimately did not make a move as Sam Presti & Co. now figure to become active in the buyout market.
Oklahoma City had a $10.8 million trade exception and two open roster spots to help a potential trade but the team did not ultimately come to terms on a deal after exploring its options around the league.
Of course, the team traded Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot to the Chicago Bulls last Friday in a move that saved the organization roughly $7.3 million in luxury taxes but did not make another move on Thursday.
With the trade deadline now passed, the team will likely become very active in the buyout market as players like Wayne Ellington, Wesley Matthews, J.R. Smith, Michael Beasley, Marcin Gortat and Enes Kanter are all expected to become free agents in the coming days.
Thunder to be among teams interested in Wayne Ellington if released
While the team has two open roster spots they may use to sign a free agent, the potential move may not happen for a few days still as players finalize buyouts, however, players must be bought out and waived prior to March 1 in order to be eligible to play in the postseason.
The Thunder signed Corey Brewer last year after the veteran agreed to a buyout with the Los Angeles Lakers so Oklahoma City figures to once again make an addition for the stretch run of the season.
Oklahoma City returns to action Thursday against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Q: OS X Server 10.6 and Fully Qualified Domain Names From the Advanced Server Admin for OS X Server v.10.6:

You must have a fully qualified domain
  name for each server's IP addess in
  the DNS system. The DNS zone must have
  the reverse-lookup record for the name
  and address pair. Not having a stable,
  functioning DNS system with reverse
  lookup leads to service failures and
  unexpected behaviors.

I was recently bit by this requirement as my internal network doesn't have an internal DNS server. As a result, various applications and services (User Management in particular),  hosted on my XServe have experienced degraded performance. My question is, besides deploying my own DNS server (dnsmasq or bind9) is there any other way to provide a FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) for my X Serve?
UPDATE
Used the X Serve as its own DNS host, worked like a charm with very little configuration.

A: No, the only way to get a FQDN is by using a DNS server, either external to your Xserve or run on the Xserve itself. It's recommended with setting up Mac OS X to set up DNS first before anything else.

This page describes most keyboard commands supported by Postico. Standard Mac OS shortcuts are not included to keep the list manageable; I assume that you are familiar with them anyway.
The easiest way to discover keyboard shortcuts is to browse through the application menus. I mention this because people are increasingly ignoring the wonderful menu bar at the top of the screen. Some buttons also have shortcuts; just hover over them and the tooltip will tell you.
I've tried to follow platform conventions as much as possible when picking these keyboard shortcuts. The shortcuts should feel familiar to most people working on a Mac.
Postico has no built-in feature to change keyboard shortcuts. However, you can change any keyboard shortcut in System Preferences. Go to Keyboard → Shortcuts → App Shortcuts and you can change the shortcuts for any app on your Mac.
Opens a new window for the current connection.
Switch to tab 1 to 9.
This is the "Open Quickly" command, also know as "Fuzzy Open". This command lets you quickly jump to a table by typing part of the name.
Cancel current query. Note that it can take some time until the command reaches the server, and the server might not cancel the query immediately. Also, this command has no effect if the query has already completed but Postico is still busy downloading the results.
Disconnect from the server. All pending queries will be cancelled. This is sometimes the only way to abort an operation. Postico will reconnect to the server automatically as needed.
Filter the list of tables in the sidebar.
Show or hide the right sidebar.
Show or hide the table filter bar.

Home NEWS Europe: Crypto and Blockchain News Roundup, 1st to 7th June 2018
Europe: Crypto and Blockchain News Roundup, 1st to 7th June 2018
Government rules crypto exchanges still legal: According to latest reports from Poland, the top financial authority in the country Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) has announced that cryptocurrency exchanges are still legal.
The move comes after massive media coverage which stated that cryptocurrency trading is going to be banned by the government. The government itself is looking towards adding cryptocurrency regulation in the near future but is yet undecided on the matter.
Putin rejects possibility of Crypto Ruble: Russian President Vladimir Putin has shot down the possibility of issuing a Russian crypto Ruble according to latest reports.
The President was asked about the matter at the 15th annual Direct Line Speech in which Russian public asks the president questions. While he was supportive of the crypto community and blockchain, he was clear on the fact that Russia won't be launching a cryptocurrency soon.
Farmers village using local crypto: Russian innovation in blockchain and cryptocurrency is to be noted as farmers in a small village have started their own cryptocurrency according to latest reports.
Mikhail Shlyapnikov, self-proclaimed 'agro-anarchist' gave the idea to start his own cryptocurrency the Kolion but was stopped by a court order in 2015. His initial coin offering was started in April 2017 and raised over BTC 401, more than USD 510,000 only at that time.
Kolion has a fixed supply of 1 million tokens and thus is protected from inflation.
Wind-powered crypto mining farm started in Estonia: An Estonian government-owned cryptocurrency mining operation drawing energy from a wind farm has started operations off the coast of Estonia in the cold Baltic sea, thus highlighting the massive potential of the area for cryptocurrency mining.
The Salme Wind Farm, as it was named, will provide power worth 6 MWh for mining rigs in Estonia form mining cryptocurrency. While cryptocurrency mining has been an issue worldwide, renewable sources are generally more acceptable for mining purposes.
Bank open for crypto companies: Swiss Bank Hypothekarbank Lenzburg has become the world's first bank to provide business accounts to cryptocurrency and blockchain companies in the country.
While other banks like Falcon Private Bank based in Zurich have also offered crypto management services, this is the first instance of a bank offering corporate accounts to crypto startups, thus giving a further boost to the country's crypto space.
Crypto no greater threat than conventional sources according to EU study: According to latest reports from an EU funded study, cryptocurrencies don't pose a bigger threat in case of terror financing than traditional fiat currency options do.
The parliamentary think tank gave these findings after months of research related to terror financing in the continent. The report was commissioned by the EU parliament's Policy Department for Citizens' Rights and Constitutional Affairs.

A Cambridge-based company started more than a decade ago that once built bike for Operation Desert Storm paratroopers now designs high-end, folding commuter bikes that can be found navigating the streets of Boston, Paris and London.
Montague Corp., which sells bikes in 18 countries and through more than 400 domestic dealers, grew out of a project at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1987 and has become the world leader in full-sized bikes that fold.
The different bike styles that Montague offers range from ones with a sleek physique ideal for rising to work and then stowing in your car to more aggressive designs that can tackle desert terrain and then be stashed in a Humvee.
Despite their differences, all Montague bikes have a patented Folding Integrated Technology system that eliminates the need to break the frame in order to fold the bike.
The United Staes only represents half of the company's sales, according to David Montague, co-founder. The bikes – priced from $700 to $200 – are catching speed and selling fast in France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Holland, Japan and Singapore, he said.
"We sell well anywhere where people are space-constrained, because our bikes fold in half so they fit into closets, in the back of a car, on the train or even on an airplane," said Montague.
In a test of the company's SwissBike TX, I learned why an urban commuter would be attracted to this kind of folding bike.
On a five-mile commute to work, the bike performed as well as my regular, full-sized bike. Thanks to front-end shock absorbers, I barely noticed potholes or the vibration of going over a curb. The bike folded easily, was easy to store and attracted attention from everyone in the office.
With Boston trying to be more bike-friendly, Montague says the bikes are developing quite a local following. He says the folding system bridges the gap from commuting by bike by giving customers more flexibility.
With a folding bike, you can drive part way to work, then take the bike out of your trunk and finish the trip.

Q: Reading a CSV file into Pandas Dataframe with invalid characters (accents) I am trying to read a csv file into a pandas dataframe. However, the csv contains accents. I am using Python 2.7
I've ran into a UnicodeDecodeError because there is an accent in the first column. I've read up on a bunch of sites like this SO question about UTF-8 in CSV files, this blog post on CSV errors related to newlines, and this blog post on UTF-8 issues in Python 2.7.
I used answers I've found from there to try to modify my code. Originally I had:
import pandas as pd

#Create a dataframe with the data we are interested in
df = pd.DataFrame.from_csv('MYDATA.csv')
mode = lambda ts: ts.value_counts(sort=True).index[0]
cols = df['CompanyName'].value_counts().index
df['Calls'] = df.groupby('CompanyName')['CompanyName'].transform(pd.Series.value_counts)

Excetera. It worked, but now passing in "NÍ" and "Nê" as a customer name is giving the error:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xea in position 7: invalid continuation byte

I tried changing the line to
    df =pd.read_csv('MYDATA.csv',encoding ='utf-8')
But this gives the same error.
So I tried this from the suggestions I found by researching, but it is not working either, and I am getting the same error.
import pandas as pd
import csv

def unicode_csv_reader(utf8_data, dialect=csv.excel, **kwargs):
    csv_reader = csv.reader(utf8_data, dialect=dialect, **kwargs)
    for row in csv_reader:
        yield [unicode(cell, 'utf-8') for cell in row]

reader = unicode_csv_reader(open('MYDATA.csv','rU'), dialect = csv.reader)
#Create a dataframe with the data we are interested in
df =pd.DataFrame(reader)

I feel like it should not be this difficult to read csv data into a pandas dataframe. Does anyone know of an easier way?
Edit: What is really strange is that if I delete the row with the accented characters I still get the error

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xd0 in position
  960: invalid continuation byte.

This is strange as my test csv has 19 rows and 27 columns. But I hope that if I decode utf8 for the entire csv it will fix the problem.

A: Try adding this to the top of your script:
import sys
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf8')

A: I know it is very annoying when we meet error in read_csv. You can try this df=pd.read_csv(filename,sep='',error_bad_lines=False). It can skip the bad lines, it can save a lot of time.

Q: How to write Keyboard notifications in Swift 3 I'm trying to update this code to swift 3:
NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: Selector("keyboardWillShow:"), name: UIKeyboardWillShowNotification, object: nil)

NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: Selector("keyboardWillHide:"), name: UIKeyboardWillHideNotification, object: nil)`

So far, I've just tried the auto corrections given by the compiler. This results in code like this:
let notificationCenter = NotificationCenter.default()
notificationCenter.addObserver(self, selector: Selector(("keyboardWillShow:")), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillShow, object: nil)

notificationCenter.addObserver(self, selector: Selector(("keyboardWillHide:")), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillHide, object: nil)`

Unfortunately, that doesn't take me far, resulting in additional errors.
Has anyone solved this please?
Please note that I'm just trying how to write the notifications. I'm not (yet) trying to fix the notification functions.. Thanks

A: Swift 4.2 Xcode 10 (10L213o)
The main changes compared with Swift 3 are in the UIWindow.keyboardWillShowNotification and UIWindow.keyboardWillHideNotification
let notifier = NotificationCenter.default
notifier.addObserver(self,
                     selector: #selector(KeyboardLayoutConstraint.keyboardWillShowNotification(_:)),
                     name: UIWindow.keyboardWillShowNotification,
                     object: nil)
notifier.addObserver(self,
                     selector: #selector(KeyboardLayoutConstraint.keyboardWillHideNotification(_:)),
                     name: UIWindow.keyboardWillHideNotification,
                     object: nil)

@objc
func keyboardWillShowNotification(_ notification: NSNotification) {}

@objc
func keyboardWillHideNotification(_ notification: NSNotification) {}

A: Swift 4
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillShow), name: .UIKeyboardWillShow, object: nil)
    NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(self.keyboardWillHide), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillHide, object: nil)
}

func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) {
     print("keyboardWillShow")
}

func keyboardWillHide(notification: NSNotification){
     print("keyboardWillHide")
}

deinit {
     NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self)
}

You can also get keyboard info using below code inside these methods.
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillChange), name: .UIKeyboardWillChangeFrame, object: nil) .

@objc func keyboardWillChange(notification: NSNotification) {
     let duration = notification.userInfo![UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] as! Double
     let curve = notification.userInfo![UIKeyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey] as! UInt
     let curFrame = (notification.userInfo![UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as! NSValue).cgRectValue
     let targetFrame = (notification.userInfo![UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as! NSValue).cgRectValue
     let deltaY = targetFrame.origin.y - curFrame.origin.y
 }

A: In Swift 3.0
 override func viewDidLoad()
    {
        super.viewDidLoad()
 NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(self.keyboardWillShow), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillShow, object: nil)
        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(self.keyboardWillHide), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillHide, object: nil)

}

Keybord Show and Hide
func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification)
{

      // Your Code Here
}

func keyboardWillHide(notification: NSNotification)
{
   //Your Code Here
}

A: I fixed this issue by writing the code like this
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillShow), name: .UIKeyboardWillShow, object: nil)

A: For Swift 4.2
.UIKeyboardWillShow is renamed to UIResponder.keyboardWillShowNotification
and
.UIKeyboardWillHide is renamed to UIResponder.keyboardWillHideNotification
 NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(NameOfSelector), name: UIResponder.keyboardWillShowNotification , object: nil)
 NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(NameOfSelector), name: UIResponder.keyboardWillHideNotification , object: nil)

   @objc func NameOfSelector() {
       //Actions when notification is received
    }

A: You can perform keyboard notification on both version of Swift respectively.
Add Objserver:
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardDidShow), name: .UIKeyboardWillShow, object: nil)

Call function swift 3
func keyboardDidShow() {
          print("keyboardDidShow")
       }

Call function In swift 4
@objc func keyboardDidShow() {
      print("keyboardDidShow")
   }

A:   NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: Selector(("keyboardWillShow:")), name:UIResponder.keyboardWillShowNotification, object: nil);
    NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: Selector(("keyboardWillHide:")), name:UIResponder.keyboardWillHideNotification, object: nil);

A: You can replace the deprecated string literal Selector with the type-checked #selector(Class.method) pair:
let center = NotificationCenter.default
center.addObserver(self,
                   selector: #selector(keyboardWillShow(_:)),
                   name: .UIKeyboardWillShow,
                   object: nil)

center.addObserver(self,
                   selector: #selector(keyboardWillHide(_:)),
                   name: .UIKeyboardWillHide,
                   object: nil)

The #selector syntax is much safer, since Swift is able to check at compile time that the specified method actually exists.
For more information about Swift selectors, see rickster's detailed answer.

A: Swift 5.1 + Combine + SwiftUI
@State var keyboardHeight: CGFloat = 0 // or @Published if one is in ViewModel: ObservableObject

private var cancellableSet: Set<AnyCancellable> = []

init() {

   let notificationCenter = NotificationCenter.default

   notificationCenter.publisher(for: UIWindow.keyboardWillShowNotification)
       .map {
             guard
                 let info = $0.userInfo,
                 let keyboardFrame = info[UIResponder.keyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? CGRect
                 else { return 0 }

             return keyboardFrame.height
         }
         .assign(to: \.keyboardHeight, on: self)
         .store(in: &cancellableSet)

     notificationCenter.publisher(for: UIWindow.keyboardDidHideNotification)
         .map { _ in 0 }
         .assign(to: \.keyboardHeight, on: self)
         .store(in: &cancellableSet)
    }

A: Here is the best solution that works for me as far (used from "Lets Build That App" YouTube channel)
class ChatVC: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource, UITextFieldDelegate {

// reference to your UIView with message TextField

    @IBOutlet weak var ChatView: UIView!

// bottom constrain to your UIView (in my case ChatView)

    var bottomConstraint: NSLayoutConstraint?

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

// add some text in the placeholder if you want

        messageField.placeholder = "Type your message.."

// here we add two notifications for showing and hiding the keyboard

        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(handleKeyboardNotification), name: UIResponder.keyboardWillShowNotification, object: nil)

        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(handleKeyboardNotification), name: UIResponder.keyboardWillHideNotification, object: nil)

// defines the start position for message textField that will be shown on the screen

        bottomConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: ChatViewField!, attribute: .bottom, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: view, attribute: .bottom, multiplier: 1, constant: -40)
        view.addConstraint(bottomConstraint!)
    }

// handles notifications for both cases when keyboard pops up and disappears

  @objc func handleKeyboardNotification(notification: NSNotification){
        if let userInfo = notification.userInfo {

            let keyboardFrame =  (userInfo[UIResponder.keyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as! NSValue).cgRectValue
            print(keyboardFrame)

            let isKeyboardShowing = notification.name == UIResponder.keyboardWillShowNotification

            bottomConstraint?.constant = isKeyboardShowing ? -keyboardFrame.height : -40

// makes animation at the same time as the keyboard

UIView.animate(withDuration: 0, delay: 0, options: UIView.AnimationOptions.curveEaseOut, animations: {

                self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
            }) { (completed) in
            }
        }
    }

A: You can create a protocol that has this logic and your UIViewController implements it, in the viewDidLoad you call the config method to bind it.
I use a constraint at the bottom to move the whole view with the same animation as the keyboard.
Here you have an example using ZAFAR007's answer:
protocol ViewControllerKeyboardType {
    var bottomConstraint: NSLayoutConstraint! { get set }

    func configKeyboardNotification()

    func keyboardWillChangeHandler(notification: NSNotification)
}

extension ViewControllerKeyboardType where Self: UIViewController {
    func keyboardWillChangeHandler(notification: NSNotification) {
        let duration = notification.userInfo?[UIResponder.keyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] as? Double ?? 0.0
        let curve = notification.userInfo?[UIResponder.keyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey] as? UInt ?? UIView.AnimationOptions.curveLinear.rawValue
        let curFrame = (notification.userInfo![UIResponder.keyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as! NSValue).cgRectValue
        let targetFrame = (notification.userInfo![UIResponder.keyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as! NSValue).cgRectValue
        let deltaY = targetFrame.origin.y - curFrame.origin.y

        UIView.animate(withDuration: duration, delay: 0, options: UIView.AnimationOptions(rawValue: curve)) {
            self.bottomConstraint.constant = self.bottomConstraint.constant - deltaY
            self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
        }
    }

    func configKeyboardNotification() {
        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(forName: UIResponder.keyboardWillChangeFrameNotification, object: nil, queue: nil) { [weak self] (notification) in
            self?.keyboardWillChangeHandler(notification: notification as NSNotification)
        }
    }
}

Usage:
class MyViewController: UIViewController, ViewControllerKeyboardType {
    @IBOutlet weak var bottomConstraint: NSLayoutConstraint!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        self.configKeyboardNotification()
    }
}

A: If you are an idiot like me and fancy Combine:
Simple extensions for your UIViewController:
import UIKit
import Combine

extension Notification {
    var keyboardHeight: CGFloat {
        return (userInfo?[UIResponder.keyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? CGRect)?.height ?? 0
    }
}

enum KeyboardState {
    case willShow
    case willHide
}

struct KeyboardObject: Equatable {
    var state: KeyboardState
    var height: CGFloat
}

extension UIViewController {
    private var keyboardWillShowPublisher: AnyPublisher<KeyboardObject, Never> {
        NotificationCenter.default.publisher(for: UIResponder.keyboardWillShowNotification,object: nil)
        .compactMap {
            return KeyboardObject(state: .willShow, height: $0.keyboardHeight)
        }.eraseToAnyPublisher()
    }

    private var keyboardWillHidePublisher: AnyPublisher<KeyboardObject, Never> {
        NotificationCenter.default
            .publisher(for: UIResponder.keyboardWillHideNotification,object: nil)
            .compactMap { _ in
                return KeyboardObject(state: .willHide, height: 0.0)
            }.eraseToAnyPublisher()
    }

    func keyboardListener() -> AnyPublisher<KeyboardObject, Never> {
        Publishers.Merge(keyboardWillShowPublisher, keyboardWillHidePublisher)
            .removeDuplicates()
            .eraseToAnyPublisher()
    }
}

In your UIViewController:
import UIKit
import Combine

final class SomeVC: UIViewController {
    var keyboardPublisher: AnyCancellable?
    private var flowLayoutConstraint: NSLayoutConstraint!
    private let defaults = UserDefaults.standard
    override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        keyboardPublisher = self.keyboardListener()
            .sink(receiveValue: { [unowned self] keyboard in
                switch keyboard.state {
                case .willShow:
                    manageKeyboardChange(value: keyboard.height)
                case .willHide:
                // I used a value saved in my userDefaults, but just set it back to the original constraint for that view without the keyboard
                    manageKeyboardChange(value: defaults.double(forKey: "opaqueHeight"))
                }
            })
    }

    override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
        keyboardPublisher?.cancel()
    }

    func manageKeyboardChange(value: CGFloat) {
        self.flowLayoutConstraint.constant = value
        UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.5, delay: 0, usingSpringWithDamping: 1, initialSpringVelocity: 1, options: .curveEaseOut, animations:  { [weak self] in
            self?.view.layoutIfNeeded()
        }, completion: nil)

        print("CHANGE")
    }
}

Huge fireball's spectacular explosion over the ocean captured on film – CNET
November 18, 2020 by Jackson Ryan in News | Comments Off on Huge fireball's spectacular explosion over the ocean captured on film – CNET
The Research Vessel Investigator, operated by Australia's national science agency CSIRO, caught the huge fireball breaking apart over the Southern Ocean.
An enormous, spectacular fireball blazing a trail across the sky off the southern coast of Tasmania, Australia, has been captured on film.
A livestream camera fitted to the research vessel Investigator, operated by Australia's national science agency CSIRO, spotted the fireball at 9:21 p.m. local time on Nov. 18. The vessel is designed to "look" down, performing mapping of the seafloor and conducting oceanographic studies about 60 miles south of Australia, but it was the meteor that flew by overhead that excited the crew on Wednesday.
"What we saw on reviewing the livestream footage astounded us, the size and brightness of the meteor was incredible," John Hooper, voyage manager onboard the vessel, said in a press release.
From the cosmos to your inbox. Get the latest space stories from CNET every week.
The local media was "flooded with reports of sightings," but no additional photos or vision have turned up at this stage, according to CSIRO. The International Meteor Organization, which tracks meteors, doesn't contain any reports of the fireball over the ocean. The research vessel investigator seems to have had the only good view of the burning rock as it made its death dive, with chunks likely to have fallen into the sea.
"We were very fortunate that we captured it all on the ship livestream," Hooper said.
You can catch a glimpse of the fireball above and find the full video here.
Meteors are giant chunks of rocks that are known to put on quite a show when they collide with the Earth's atmosphere. In July, a fireball exploded over the skies of Tokyo with the force of 165 tons of TNT -- enough to create a sonic boom.
And while you may have missed out on seeing those rocks clangin' and bangin' into the Earth, you can catch the Leonid meteor shower right now, which will remain active until Monday, Nov. 30. Plenty of chances to catch the stunning celestial events.

Plaque location: 110 Lyme Street
When Rev. Moses Noyes wrote a will in 1719, he specified: To my daughter Sarah Mather I give twenty pounds to be paid by my son Moses besides the ten pounds from my son John and the negro maid Arabella. Lyme's first minister named his enslaved servant after the ship Arbella on which the Massachusetts Bay Colony's governor John Winthrop emigrated from England in 1630.
Arabella's origins are not known, but Noyes may have acquired her in New London after he married, in about 1678, Ruth Pickett, in whose household at least one enslaved person labored. The estate inventory of her father John Pickett, a prosperous New London merchant, listed in 1668 on negroe servant valued at 30 pounds. After their father's death, Ruth's three brothers pursued trade with Barbados. Perhaps her brother Adam Pickett gave or sold an enslaved woman to Lyme's minister, either before or after Ruth Noyes died at age 36 in 1690.
Arabella likely provided domestic labor on the minister's large farm and assistance with his four children until his death in 1727. Six years later, on February 3, 1733, when the "negro maid" had become the property of Sarah Noyes Mather's husband, Rev. Jonathan Parsons baptized Bella servt of Tim Mather, together with Oxford sert of Rich Lord Esq. When Timothy Mather wrote a will in 1750, he left to his wife Sarah the negro woman during the natural life of her mistress. Mather provided that after his own death, If the negro woman outlives the widow she can live with either of my children which she shall choose but if the sd nego woman be not able to maintain herself then it is my will that my son Joseph maintain her at his own cost during her natural life. When and where Arabella died is not known.

Attendees of the show are also encouraged to visit the Savage Arms booth (#6045) to check out several new products, including the new AXIS II XP.

My interest in art started with the pictures, often cut from magazines which my mother pinned up around the house. Growing up in The Hague, the etchings of Rembrandt and The Hague School were around and made me sneak into the etching room as soon as I got to Art College (also in the Netherlands) After qualifying as an Art teacher and my military service, I left for Ireland and eventually ended up in Britain, where I soon joined the RE. As my artistic interests have become more varied, I am now also a member of the British Society of Master Glass Painters.
British Glass Biennale 2008, group show.
In 2009 I was commissioned to make designs for the Cultural Olympics project that became "Godiva Awakes", based in Coventry. This took place over seven days at the beginning of August 2012 when a six metre tall puppet of Godiva was cycled from Coventry to Waltham Forest. I have now been commissioned to design and make eight stained glass windows for the static part of it.
The initial ideas are worked out in scribbles in my sketch books. Once I have a basic composition I start gathering drawings of the various parts, landscape maybe or sketches of buildings or animals. I do go to a life drawing group, but also draw people in the street or use mirrors to work out positions and details of hands for instance. For etchings and stained glass I make quite precise working drawings, for painting much less so. For my colour prints I first make the etched plate, print and off-set this onto ply, which I then cut up like a jig saw puzzle to print the colour from. In the final print the colour is printed first, the etching over the top of it.
In all media I retain much the same style, creating a world dense with people, animals and plants. My paintings tell a story, based on poems and tales or directly on my observations and imagination. However for me it is the story telling itself which is the focus and a valuable function of visual art which allows us to understand and connect human lives.


CBC announces new and returning series for 2016-17 season | TV, eh?
CBC today announced five new original programs to its 2016-17 lineup of Canadian hits, along with the renewal of another 10 returning titles. Among the new titles are The Council (working title), a crime drama set in an isolated arctic outpost; observational series The School (working title); Northern-Canadian docu-series True North Calling; comedy series Four In The Morning; and Caught, a dramatic miniseries based on Lisa Moore's novel of the same name. Series renewed for new seasons as part of the CBC-TV lineup include Murdoch Mysteries, Heartland, The Romeo Section, Hello Goodbye, Canada's Smartest Person, This Life, X Company, Exhibitionists, Interrupt This Program and Crash Gallery.
The School is an intense, surprising and intimate series that, for the first time, looks deep into the incredible dynamic existing today between students and their teachers at a typical Canadian high school. Based on the award-winning UK format, The School offers unprecedented access into the day-to-day goings on at South Kamloops Secondary School in Kamloops, BC. Facing daily pressures at school, at home and in the world, today's teens deal with seemingly insurmountable challenges. The School explores themes of teenage life and those all-important student-teacher relationships, which lie at the heart of everyone's formative years. Fitting in, falling out, exam pressure, peer pressure, first love and last chances—The School uses warmth and humour to describe steps on the journey towards self-knowledge, at a time when both the present and the future remain uncertain. The School is distributed by Endemol Shine and will premiere on CBC in fall 2016.
Interrupt This Program returns with new episodes revealing the surprisingly vital cultural underbellies of unsettled, global cities. In each compelling episode, passionate young artists display art as a form of protest, as a means of survival and as an agent of change. Viewers are guided through parts of the world they have most likely never seen and experience the creativity and vitality of some of the planet's most intriguing, resilient cities.
These renewed titles join an impressive list of returning series that have already been announced, including: This Hour Has 22 Minutes (Season 24); Rick Mercer Report (Season 14); Schitt's Creek (Season 3); Mr. D (Season 6); Dragons' Den (Season 11); Still Standing (Season 2); Michael: Tuesdays & Thursdays (Season 2), and When Calls The Heart (Season 2).
my goodness, I am so happy for CBC and their programming…Fall appears so far away!!
As long as X Company is on that list I am happy…..
Awesome to see X Company and This Life renewed as I like both and happy to see Season 2 of When Calls the Heart will air on CBC. I also enjoy Heartland so am glad to see that's still going strong. The Council, Caught and The School all sound good. I am happy to see Kamloops as the setting for The School. Wasnt CBC set to air another comedy series called Kim's Convenience?
I have no idea where that weird video came from in my comment.


"What do I tell my daughter when she asks me if she's fat?" "Why does my nine-year-old son want six-pack abs?" "How can I tell if my child has an eating disorder?" "What can I do to make sure my child is getting the healthiest messages at home?" Marci Warhaft-Nadler tackles the tough questions that you and your kids face as they negotiate aspects of body image and self-esteem in a world filled with adverse messages. With over two decades of experience on both sides of the fitness industry and herself a survivor of an eating disorder, she speaks from the heart with straight-forward and savvy advice. Understanding the challenges is the first step; learning the tools needed to empower kids to tune out the negative messages and tune in to their own incredible potential is the next. Hands-on tips and activities, real questions and answers, helpful Internet resources, and warning signs of dangerous behavior make this book the ultimate body image guide for parents of kids of all ages.
Marci Warhaft-Nadler is a body image advocate, writer, and founder of the "Fit vs Fiction" project, which is aimed at arming kids with the self-confidence they need to tune out negative messages and be exactly who they want to be instead of who they think they're supposed to be. She frequently appears in the media breaking down the dangerous myths related to beauty and fitness. Marci is a published author, founder of the Fit vs Fiction workshops and a writer for the Huffington Post. Like too many young women these days, Marci struggled with body image issues for most of her life. Feeling like she could never live up to the unrealistic standards she had set for herself, she often resorted to unhealthy diet and exercise techniques that resulted in emotional and physical problems that she struggled with for years. Her amazing recovery and ability to turn trauma into triumph has been her catalyst for reaching out to other young men and women who are facing the same obstacles. Fit vs. Fiction (www.fitvsfiction.com) allows Marci to tell her story in an engaging and meaningful way. Her in-depth group seminars and one-on-one counselling allow her to connect with her audience by focusing on real-life examples, and dissecting them to reveal the ugly truth behind the pretty pictures.
Looking for Lincoln by Roland H Wilkerson Jr.


"Double it", Tiger dared as Phil Mickelson bet him 100K that he would birdie the first hole. Mickelson agreed and the two continued light-hearted trash talk while promoting their upcoming round on SportsCenter this past week. "The Match", as it has come to be known, put Tiger and Phil toe-to-toe at Shadow Creek Golf Course in Las Vegas on Black Friday. With a 9 million dollar purse, there was more than just pride on the line between these old friends. Typically, athletes on the PGA tour make the majority of their money from endorsement deals rather than earnings from tournaments. For example, Phil Mickelson raked in just over half of this weekend's winnings during the entirety of the 2017-2018 season while appearing in 24 tournaments. Tiger and Phil rank first and second in career PGA earnings for reference.
Using their position as two of the game's most influential players and numerous connections, their round has generated significant buzz in the public since reports surfaced at the end of the summer. Offering the round on pay-per-view for twenty dollars, the two attracted audiences through outlandish side bets paid out of pocket and non-stop banter. Mic'd up during the match and closed to the public, the two aimed to create a unique at-home experience for viewers and it worked. Never separated by more than a hole in match play, Woods was unable to capitalize on good ball striking due to poor putting. 18 holes was not enough as they both finished with a 3-under 69. Forced into 4 playoff holes, Mickelson was able to edge past Tiger as daylight quickly faded over Las Vegas, capturing the 9 million dollar purse. Phil also won on side bets, winning 3 out of 4 and netting $400,000 for the charity of his choice. With 14 majors compared to Phil's 5, Phil was excited to finally have an edge on one of the game's greats; "It's not the Masters, it's not the U.S. Open, I know, but it's something".
Moving forward people speculate that this could be a new wave in the sport of golf. Higher profits, more laid back and less demanding on the body (one round compared to four), the advantages are obvious. With enhanced streaming technology and more stars in the sport than ever before, other players may look to get a part of the action. My prediction, Jordan Spieth squaring up with Justin Thomas; two of the best young golfers in the game with enough name recognition to bring in viewers. While we have seen a similar business model in other sports, namely UFC and Boxing, it is new to golf.
Social media and the influx of young stars in the game has opened up the opportunity for athletes to connect with fans more intimately. On a "boy's trip" to the Bahamas in the spring of 2016, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Rickie Fowler and Smylie Kaufman showed their age as the young golfers shared Snapchat stories of each other goofing around, playing rounds without shirts or shoes. People loved it and this recent culture change has resulted in increased interest, diversity and youth in a sport that has traditionally been viewed as a white-collar sport. As an individual sport, a single athlete can make great waves in the game. For example, the excitement surrounding Tiger Woods and the increased TV ratings he brings has come to be known as the Tiger Effect. A recent Nielsen report estimates that Tiger playing in a tournament can bring in an additional 2 million viewers. These reasons lead to a legitimate case for attempts at recreating "The Match".

Q: Can't remove or hide product images with CSV import I am having an issue where on some of my simple products which are child products of configurable products, their product image (each only has one) does not have the role of "base" so the image will not be displayed on the front end.
I tried fixing this with a product import/update and putting the exsiting image for the product under the "base_image" column. This works only now I end up with two images, the old image and the new base image.
I tried to remove the old image by putting only the new image in the "additional_images" column but that seemed to be ignored on import and the old image stayed.
I also tried to hide the old image by putting it under the "hide_from_product_page" column but that also didn't work.
Anyway I can hide or remove the old/duplicate image with a CSV import?
Screen shot of my test import CSV for one product below:

A: Thanks, there is no way to delete pictures with a CSV import. The only way to do this via CSV import is to delete all images and reimport only the ones that you want to remain.

If you have noticed that your radiators are cold in certain places or are slow to heat up, you may be in need of a Power Flush. The build-up of corrosion in a central heating system can lead to the creation of sludge and sediment that impairs the performance and efficiency of a boiler. This is exactly why Power Flush is beneficial to your system.
NXG Heating is a London based provider of power flush services. This deep cleaning process ensures that radiators perform efficiently, heat up properly, and that all cold spots disappear. Power flushing can help to increase the lifespan of your central heating system, while minimising radiator sludge problems. This will help to bring down your heating bills and reduce the likelihood of breakdowns.
There are a number of symptoms that you can watch out for to determine if you may need a power flush. The most obvious is cold areas on your radiators or an excessive amount of time required for the system to heat up. Excessive noise can also be experienced coming from the heating system pump or the boiler itself. If you observe cloudy tap water, you may have a deposit of limescale. Discoloured water may also appear when bleeding radiators. These are all indications that you may need a power flush. If in doubt, it never hurts to call NXG Heating for a free assessment to confirm your suspicions.
A power flush is also useful if you plan to purchase a new boiler to be connected to an old central heating system. If contaminants are present in your older heating system, you may damage the internal pipe work inside your new boiler.


Last year we acquired a trampoline via Freecycle. I grudgingly accepted. It turned out to be a pretty good decision, as the twins have gotten a lot of mileage out of it. I still need to remind them of some basic safety issues, but on the whole they've been remarkably responsible with it. I laid down the law early on that a parent needed to supervise their activities at all times, and to their credit they've abided (at least as far as I know).
But I've always been a little uneasy about having it. I'm never quite sure how well their friends will handle the trampoline, even if an adult is supervising. And our insurance policy won't cover any trampoline-related accidents. We've had a few close calls, but no major accidents yet (I think the closest was when Mike did a flip and landed half on and half off the thing!).
We've been talking for ages about getting a jungle gym, or playhouse, of some sort, to replace the trampoline. Tom bought me a couple of do-it-yourself books for treehouses, forts, and similar structures. Some of the designs are really cool. Alas, I'm too chicken to go buy the materials and try to build something like that myself. Carina and I had eyeballed a few pre-built models from various places, but the prices were always astronomical for even the entry-level design.
Today, after a tip from Nikki, we finally purchased a playhouse kit. It's gargantuan – far bigger than anything I had in mind – but the price was right. I consider it minor miracle that we were able to fit the boxes into the van. Mike was kind enough to come over to help me unload the thing. He even stuck around to help get the construction started. After about 45 minutes of effort, we successfully completed the first four steps of the assembly instructions. I fear I may have bit off more than I can chew – especially since Carina won't be able to help with the assembly until her foot heals more fully.
I started to disassemble the trampoline, which made me very happy. I feel much more comfortable about the kids having their friends over to play in the playhouse than I ever did about the trampoline. Sure, someone's probably going to get hurt – that's inevitable with kids – but the kinds of injuries are likely to be more superficial, which goes a long way toward my peace of mind.
Speaking of the trampoline – anyone want it? We didn't pay for it, so we're happy to give it to someone else. Pick up only, please.


The San Diego boys of Slightly Stoopid are at it again – all set to release their eighth studio album Meanwhile... Back at the Lab come June 30th. With comic book style cover art, the LP's title alludes to the oasis of home-life after what seems like a never-ending stint on the road. "The lab", located within Stoopid's own recording studio, is a warehouse space designated for band practice and collaboration and that's exactly what composes their new album: artist synergy and the results of recording spur-of-the-moment jam sessions. The collaborative effort began late in 2012 following Stoopid's Top of the World album release and includes not only multiple guest performances, but several locations outside of Stoopid Records such as Platinum Sound in New York, Rivas Studio in Los Angeles and Mixdown Town LBC in Long Beach. Produced by the band in cooperation with their in-house mixing aficionado James Wisner, the album stands as yet another installment of the band's ongoing original sound – bending the barriers of bluegrass with reggae with rock with hip hop with pop, etc. Any given Stoopid fan will be pleased with the result.
The fifteen-track LP is already available to pre-order on iTunes and for the fans who don't want to wait until late June, there is an instant download for the track "Life Rolls On" to tide them over. Since Meanwhile... Back at the Lab is an homage to downtime in between tours, Slightly Stoopid is naturally planning to embark on their "Everything is Awesome" Summer 2015 tour immediately following its release. The tour begins July 8th, hitting 40+ outside amphitheaters around the nation alongside the Dirty Heads and – depending on the city – The Expendables or Stick Figure before wrapping up September 19th. With festivals such as California Roots, Kaboo, Outside Lands, Wakarusa and the LOCKN' Festival also in the mix: get ready to get Stoopid, America.
