Layton Hills Cinemas
Cineplex Odeon opened the Layton Hills Cinemas on 14 November 1997. The multiplex theater featured "sightline seating," curved screens, and digital sound in all nine auditoriums. The largest auditorium had 444 seats and an elevator to reach the top of the stadium seating section. AMC Theatres renovated the Layton Hills 9 in 2013, reducing seating capacity in each auditorium by 50 to 70 percent to install power recliners.

(About 1920)
The Gem Theatre was built in 1909 by Myers and Henry.[24]
Manager McIff
Otto E. McIff, or Mac as he was called by the people of Panguitch, was employed as a "picture show operator" since before 1914.[1] After McIff was injured in a serious accident in 1929 the newspaper wrote, "We are mighty glad to notice that Otto McIff is able to be out on crutches . . . At one time the people of this city throught that Mac was done for . . . so we are glad to see him out again under nearly any condition . . . You are worth a hundred dead men, Mac, and we wish you all the luck in the world."[2]
The Fire of 1924
On Saturday evening, 9 February 1924, one of the reels of film got stuck in the projector and caught fire, igniting a full reel in the lower magazine. Manager McIff picked up the buring reel and tried to extinguish the flames, but was forced to throw the burning mass away from him. The few people in the theater were evacuated in a "very quiet manner" and McIff was able to save the remaining reels of film and some office furniture. Although the fire progressed slowly, those fighting the fire considered it useless to try to save the theater itself. The limited supply of water that was available was used on the garage on the north of the theater and a residence at the rear. The wind was favorable, so the fire did not spread to nearby buildings. The Garfield County News reported that "Everyone did all that could be done, and gave all the assistance in their power."[3]
Only the outer shell of the theater survived the fire. For several days afterwards school children would eat potatoes that had been stored beneath the theater's stage and then cooked by the burning of the building.[4]
The Kinema Rebuilt
The future of the Kinema Theatre was uncertain. There was $5,000 insurance on the building itself, but nothing to cover its contents. The fixtures and furniture of the theater were "a total loss", so all the equipment would have to be purchased new if the theater were to be rebuilt.[3] On the week following the fire the Garfield County News said, "It is very probable the picture show building will be rebuilt into a modern picture palace in the near future."[5] However a week later it was reported that Manager McIff was considering offers to manage a theater somewhere in the north and that "It is understood that the old house is not to be rebuilt in the right near future. We hate to see Panguitch without a picture house . . ."[6]
McIff remained in Panguitch and the Kinema was rebuilt. The new theater was "as near fireproof as possible". The projection room was built of brick and concrete, with a metal floor and roof. The front of the theater was done in the Mission style and an awning was put over the box office to "keep the customers from the storm". The "old lobby that used to harbor the kiddies during the day" was "done away with". The theater was ready to reopen at the end of May 1924, just as soon as the seats arrived.[7] The suppliers of theater organs were behind on their orders, so films ran without accompaniment until a new Wurlitzer Organ and two Powers B. Machines were installed in July.[8]
The Garfield County News reported that the new Kinema Theatre had "a mighty neat appearance" and was "one of the most modern in the south, and as far as neatness is concerned, it cannot be beaten anywhere." Of the theater's manager the paper said, "Mr. McIff deserves great credit for the effort he is making to please our people and should receive a liberal patronage from those that enjoy screen pictures and real service."[7]
Hub Theatre
The Kinema Theatre was renamed the Hub Theatre in 1928 and remained under the management of Otto E. McIff.[9] On 8 February 1930, the Hub Theatre showed the first "talkie" in Panguitch. The movie had "a clear, loud tone which pleases everyone who has heard it".[10] The Filmtone talking machine cost $2,000 and was manufactured by Nathaniel Baldwin in a Salt Lake City factory. Unlike cheaper systems which used records, the Filmtone Talkie stored sound directly on the film.[11]
In December 1930, after running the picture show in Panguitch for over 16 years, Otto E. McIff took over management of the Casino Theatre in Gunnision.[12] The McIff family moved from Panguitch to Gunnison in March 1931,[13] and Millard Hatch became the new manager of the Hub Theatre.[14] Earl Whittaker managed the Hub Theatre for a brief time, but gave it up in 1933 so he could devote all his attention to his theaters in Piute County.[15 & 16]
In 1933, Millard Hatch and C. Hawks renovated the Hub Theatre and renamed it the Gem Theatre. Mr. Hawks was a representative of Columbia Pictures and owned a chain of theatres in Utah and Nevada. Improvements were made to the theater over the next several years. In 1933 the theater had "remodeling for sound effects".[15] In July 1934 a new "sound screen" was installed, which was to "make the pictures clearer and the sound much better".[17] In 1935 the front of the building was remodeled, and the lobby and aisles were "covered with a heavy felt covering".[18]
In May 1938, the Gem Theatre closed for ten days for painting and remodeling. The screen was moved back about 50 feet, increasing the seating capacity of the theater. A new ventilation system was installed. The theater management also planned to install more comfortable seats and to build a balcony.[19]
New projectors, costing $2,500, were installed in the Gem Theatre in 1940. The machines included new bases and "the latest fire proof attachments". Florescent lighting was installed in the auditorium. A "dual amplification sound system" and other remodeling had been done a year or two earlier.[20]
Another Fire
A fire caused a panic in the Gem Theatre on 23 June 1934. During the third reel of the Sunday evening feature, the film broke and started to burn. Before the operator, Alton Talbot, could do anything the remainder of the reel caught fire. The audience, noticing the auditorium becoming lighter and hearing a strange hissing sound, turned and saw flames shooting out through the projection windows and into the auditorium for about three feet. They made a wild dash for the exit, but by the time the building was empty the fire was out. Everyone returned to their seats and the show went on after a short delay. The projection room was "red hot, as was the machine in which the fire started."[21]
Russell and Memphis Talbot managed a movie theater in Panguitch for almost twenty years. In the mid-1950s the theater was run for brief periods by the Allens and then the Wilcoxs. After the advent of television, the theater could not attract large enough crowds to pay film rental fees.[22]
The Gem Theatre closed about 1986.[23] The title of the last movie, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, remained on the marquee for ten years as the theater sat idle.[24] Sometime after this the theater was again damaged by fire.
2011 Renovation
Mark Childs, owner of Childs Construction, and his wife Heather, a retired dancer, purchased the Gem Theatre in April 2010, after moving to Panguitch from Henderson, Nevada. After replacing the building's fire-damaged roof, the Childs rebuilt the Gem Theatre's interior and reopened it on 28 May 2011. The 150-seat auditorium has an expanded stage equipped for both live entertainment and cinema. The lobby hosts a 1920s penny candy story, with freshly-popped popcorn and roasted nuts, and "Scoops from the Past," a 1950s ice cream parlor with hand-dipped ice cream made on site. The second floor offers an Internet lounge with free Wi-Fi, a museum with Gem Theatre memorabilia, and a premium VIP balcony for the theater.[24]

Nevada Gaming Commission Likely To Take Up Remote Wagering Changes This Year
by Will Green
[toc]Bettors in the 49 states outside of Nevada might be able to set up and fund mobile sports betting apps from Las Vegas casinos as early as this year, LegalSportsReport has learned.
Proposed regulatory changes submitted to the Nevada Gaming Commission in February would enable remote registration for all account-based wagering, including sports betting, according to CG Technology's Quinton Singleton, who submitted the amended proposal.
Remote is only so remote
If the proposals are adopted, bettors across the country would be able to download a mobile sports betting app, set up an account with that app, and fund the account from wherever they were located.
They would not, however, be permitted to place actual wagers until they complete a one-time, in-person verification step at a corresponding, Nevada-based sports book or casino property.
Wagering on single-game events would still not be permitted outside the state of Nevada, pursuant to the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA).
CG's regulatory push is representative of its larger goal of bringing more liquidity into the sports betting market. It also underscores the company's desire to even the playing field for account-based gaming, and to revise gaming standards so that they're more consistent with modern technology and consumer preferences.
Currently, sports betting app account set-up and funding are restricted to the state of Nevada, while horse racing and poker app set-up and funding are not.
New rules would bring registration system up-to-date
While the current set-up process for an account is relatively expedient—between 10 and 30 minutes at most books—it is a decidedly twentieth century one. Bettors must fill out a paper form in front of two sportsbook employees, who serve as witnesses. Bettors then often fund their account on the spot with cash on hand.
According to Singleton, if the new regulations are adopted, a bettor would avoid waiting in line and filling out paperwork at a sports book if they set up their account remotely, and could "verify" their identity with any gaming employee on the property, not just a sports book employee.
Individual operators at that point would be able to choose how they would complete the verification, be it by a bettor physically showing the employee the app on his or her phone, providing the employee with identification, or providing a wagering account number. Bettors would only need to complete this step once, unless they've neglected to use their wagering app in the last 18 months, Singleton said.
Multiple officials involved in the process who asked not to be identified said that a public hearing on the updated 2016 proposals would likely take place in either late spring or early summer, and that they had a good chance of passing at a Nevada Gaming Commission hearing before the end of the calendar year.
In-person verification unlikely to go away
The February proposals follow a 2015 effort by CG that would have made remote account set up and funding entirely remote.
Singleton introduced the first proposed amendments for the process on March 2, 2015. Those aimed at "harmonizing" the registration process for bettors and would not have required that bettors complete the final, in-person verification step, meaning eager out-of-towners would have been able to wager on their mobile phone as soon as their plane touched down on a Silver State airstrip, or as soon as their car crossed into state lines.
In that filing, CG justified the push to regulate all account-based gaming by noting that it would produce ancillary benefits of developers being able to build and test apps to a common standard when it came to tackling player identification, geolocation and account funding.
After workshopping the proposed changes with different sportsbooks and enlisting the Nevada Resort Association's help at soliciting further feedback, Singleton said books ultimately felt more comfortable implementing the final in-step verification process because "it gave a heightened level of compliance in terms of checking the patrons and knowing who they are, which is important to all the casinos."
He added that enabling bettors to wager without ever having to physically go to a gaming property and identify themselves wouldn't be ideal from a regulatory compliance or consumer protection standpoint. He said the February proposals "get us 90 percent of the way there."
2016 proposed regulations remain somewhat unclear
While the proposed 2016 regulations have not been made public, they're believed to closely align with the 2015 proposal, which both limits deposits on remotely-funded accounts to $5,000 and does not allow for withdrawals until a patron's information has been verified.
It's unknown exactly what personal information bettors would have to disclose under the new regulations in order to set up an account remotely. But under the similar 2015 proposal, bettors were required to disclose:
Verification that they're not a list of persons excluded for any reason from the sportsbook.
Operators had 30 days from the time of registration to verify that information. In the event the information was unverifiable, operators would retain any money the player had won since they opened their account, and refund the balance of the initial deposit.
Streamlining and simplifying the setup process for mobile wagering also implies an investment by gaming companies in the mobile space. And in the event sports betting becomes legalized outside the state of Nevada, a convenient betting option in the palms of consumers' hands could exponentially increase wagering activity throughout the country.
Mobile sports betting as a percentage of Nevada's overall handle has grown from 13 percent in 2012 to 29 percent in 2016. And according to Eilers & Krejcik, a gaming research firm, that percentage could reach 50 by the year 2020.
According to the Las Vegas Sun, 40 percent of William Hill's annual betting handle, for example, comes from mobile devices.
The largest gaming companies in Nevada, including CG, William Hill US, Station Casinos, Boyd Gaming and others, all run mobile gaming apps. The Wynn and the Westgate's independent sportsbooks both recently launched betting apps, and MGM, another independent book, is reportedly developing an app as well.

The theme for the Daily Post's Weekly Photo Challenge is of photographs with exceptional ambience. I take this as an opportunity to share pictures of a few places with unique atmosphere and character.
Dholavira, an archeological site at Kutch district in Gujarat, India, contains the ruins of the Indus Valley Civilization or the Harappan city. This was the Bronze Age civilization (3300-1300 BCE; mature period 2600-1600 BCE) extending from what is today northeast Afghanistan to Pakistan and northwest India. It was one of the three old world civilizations (along with ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia) and also the most widespread. During history lessons at school, I remember getting goose bumps thinking about their unimaginable skills and expertise in a time, which existed before the Vedic period.
Inhabitants of the ancient Indus river valley developed new techniques in handicraft and metallurgy (copper, bronze, lead, and tin). The Indus cities are especially renowned for their urban planning, baked brick houses, elaborate drainage systems, water supply systems, and clusters of large non-residential buildings.
Rudabai Stepwell, built in 1499 AD at Adalaj, Gujarat, India by Mahmud Begada for his queen Rudabai. The step well nicely depicts fusion of Indian and Islamic architecture. The step well or 'Vav', as it is locally known, is intricately carved and is five stories deep.
Such step wells not only provided water for drinking, washing and bathing but were also venues for colorful festivals and sacred rituals. Listen – can you not hear the echoes of laughter, rush of feet with tinkling anklets and bangles amidst a rustling swirl of colors on the backdrop of love, lust, oppression, greed and intrigues? Or am I being fanciful?
For a spooky ambience, visit the abandoned and haunted village of Kuldhara, Rajasthan, India. Kuldhara was established around the 13th century and was home to the Paliwal Brahmins till about 200 years ago. Legend has it that the unscrupulous and rogue Diwan of Jaisalmer, Salim Singh fell for the beautiful daughter of the village chief. Determined to have her, he threatened to levy huge taxes upon them unless they toed his line.
Equally determined not to yield, one night, all the residents of the village fled, leaving behind their homes and everything within them. There is no information about the whereabouts of the Paliwals. Before leaving, the Paliwals cursed the village which is why, till date, it remains uninhabited by mortal beings. Instead ghosts roam the deserted streets. I believe night stay facility is available for those who wish to experience moving shadows, haunting spirits and other paranormal activities. Game anyone?
A big thank you to my friend and family for sharing the pictures 🙂 Thanks to you too for dropping by – where would you like to go first?
Thanks Sandy – glad you liked.
Pingback: Ambience: Lamp Light | What's (in) the picture?
Thanks for sharing. I friend visiting from New Delhi recently told me about new sites discovered in Kutch, including fossils from the dinosaur age. I love adding historical stories to the sites — makes them come alive!
So much of history and really interesting!!

Stanford Medicine Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery – Otolaryngology — Head & Neck Surgery
A Brief History of Rhinoplasty
By Sam Most, MD, FACS
The idea of changing nasal shape has been around for centuries. On my visit to the Uffizi a few years ago, I was struck by my tour guide's description of this famous pair of portraits of the Duke and Duchess of Urbino by Piero della Francesca.
Do you notice anything about the Duke's nose? According to my tour guide, he did not just break his nose accidentally. His radix was reduced by him, or another, specifically to allow him to see better across his high nasal bridge! Rumor or fact? We'll never know. At least two groups have written about this in the medical literature (Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol. 2010 Jan;85(1):47-50., "Seeing further than your nose." Perception. 2013;42(5):481-7 van Tonder G1, Zavagno D, Sakurai K, Ono H., and "The legend and the truth about the nose of Federico, Duke of Urbino", Santoni-Rugiu P, Massei A., Br J Plast Surg. 1982 Jul;35(3):251-7).
In the more modern parlance, one of the first papers on rhinoplasty was published by John Orlando Roe, and otolaryngologist in Michigan, in 1887. His paper, entitled 'Correction of the pug deformity', he is credited with documentation of the first rhinoplasty.
We are a bit more sophisticated with our before and after pictures today. However, this was groundbreaking at the time.
The notion that one could elect to change the appearance of the nose was taken much further by Dr. Jacques Joseph, an orthopedic surgeon by training, who came to be one of the most famous facial plastic surgeons of all time. He founded and headed the first hospital for Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, much of the work of which was a result of World War I injuries. His interests broaded from reconstructive to aesthetic surgery of the face (and body). Many of his concepts of nasal septal surgery and rhinoplasty are still used today.
For example, Dr. Joseph's concepts of reducing the bony and cartilaginous skeleton of the nose using precise cuts are still used today, albeit in modified form.
Throughout the 20th century, many surgeons (too many to name here) were important contributors to the development and refinement of rhinoplasty techniques. To name but a few, Dr. Maurice Cottle developed important concepts of nasal physiology as it relates to form. Dr. Irving Goldman popularized several techniques for endonasal rhinoplasty (so-called 'closed rhinoplasty'--a term that is incorrect). Dr. Jack Anderson started as an endonasal rhinoplasty surgeon, became famous for it, then adopted external rhinoplasty ('open rhinoplasty', also an incorrect term). He became a major proponent of this technique, and spoke often of its advantages.

An influential group representing major advertisers and their ad agencies today issued new guidelines on how the audiences of interactive media should be measured.
The Coalition for Advertising Supported Information & Entertainment (CASIE) recommendations are considered important because some mainstream advertisers are reluctant to spend money on Internet ads until comparable, reliable methods to measure audience have evolved.
"It's another step in getting better measurement, which should eventually help move the industry forward, which means more buying and selling," said Judy Black, who chaired the committee that issued the guidelines. She is a senior partner at Bozell Worldwide, a major ad agency.
Guidelines from the coalition now call for cleaner divisions in measuring and auditing traffic at Web sites and other online media. For instance, CASIE recommends that independent audience measurement should be taken and audited by a firm other than the one that's doing the counting.
If ad buyers accept those recommendations, it could force firms like Internet Profiles (I/Pro), which both measures and audits Web site visits, to change their businesses.
CASIE also added a definition of "clickstream" and adjusted some earlier language to describe terms like hits, visits, and pages to conform to new practices.
The coalition represents large advertisers and the American Association of Advertising Agencies, another trade group. The Advertising Research Foundation has also endorsed the guidelines.
CASIE's original guidelines, issued in October 1995, were primarily oriented toward interactive TV, not online media such as the Internet, commercial online services, and newer "push" technologies such as PointCast and BackWeb. CASIE updated its recommendations to reflect those industry changes.

Expressive language sampling as a source of outcome measures for treatment studies in fragile X syndrome: Feasibility, practice effects, test-retest reliability, and construct validity
Leonardkk Abbeduto, Elizabeth Berry-Kravis, Audra Sterling, Stephanie Sherman, Jamie O. Edgin, Andrea McDuffie, Anne Hoffmann, Debra Hamilton, Michael Nelson, Jeannie Aschkenasy, Angela John Thurman
Background: The evaluation of treatment efficacy for individuals with fragile X syndrome (FXS) or intellectual disability (ID) more generally has been hampered by the lack of adequate outcome measures. We evaluated expressive language sampling (ELS) as a procedure for generating outcome measures for treatment research in FXS. We addressed: (a) feasibility, (b) practice effects over two administrations, (c) test-retest reliability over the repeated administrations, and (d) construct validity. We addressed these issues for the full sample as well as for subgroups defined by age, IQ, and ASD status. Methods: Participants were 106 individuals with FXS between ages 6 and 23 years who had IQs within the range of intellectual disability (IQ < 70). ELS procedures for collecting samples in conversation and narration were followed and analyzed separately. Five measures were derived from transcripts segmented into C-units (i.e., an independent clause and its modifiers): number of C-units per minute (talkativeness), number of different word roots (vocabulary), C-unit length in morphemes (syntax), percentage of C-units containing dysfluency (utterance planning), and percentage of C-units that were fully or partly unintelligible (articulatory quality). ELS procedures were administered twice at 4-week intervals for each participant. Standardized tests and informant reports were administered and provided measures for evaluating construct validity of ELS measures. Results: We found low rates of noncompliance, suggesting the task can be completed meaningfully by most individuals with FXS, although noncompliance was higher for younger, lower IQ, and more autistic participants. Minimal practice effects and strong test-retest reliability over the 4-week interval were observed for the full sample and across the range of ages, IQs, and autism symptom severity. Evidence of convergent construct validity was observed for the measures of vocabulary, syntax, and unintelligibility for the full sample and across the range of IQ and autism symptom severity, but not for participants under age 12. Conversation and narration yielded largely similar results in all analyses. Conclusions: The findings suggest that the ELS procedures are feasible and yield measures with adequate psychometric properties for a majority of 6 to 23 years with FXS who have ID. The procedures work equally well regardless of level of ID or degree of ASD severity. The procedures, however, are more challenging and have somewhat less adequate psychometric properties for individuals with FXS under age 12.

Q: C printf: insert line above printed text I want to print with printf above printed lines WITHOUT overwriting old ones. The code below prints
0
1
Hallo
A0
A1
A2
A3
A4

I want the output to be
0
1
Hallo
A0
A1
A2
A3
A4
2
3
4

Is there a possibilty to do this with escape codes (like line up)?
#include "stdio.h"

#define ANSI_LINE_UP                "\033[3A"

int main() {
    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
        printf("%d\n", i);
    }

    printf(ANSI_LINE_UP "Hallo\n");
    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
        printf("A%d\n", i);
    }

    return 0;
}

I use Kubuntu 18.04, if this is relevant.
To make it a bit clearer what I want:
I want to have the output of some printf at the end, so it looks like this:
printf(...)
   printf(...)
specialprintf(,,,)
   specialprintf(,,,)
Note: The order of all prints might be different while execution. I just need the normal ones first, then the special ones. If the special ones are in a different order, it is still fine.
This is part of an embedded project. @Arkku solution is good, but I don't quite get it working as I want.

A: Obviously this depends on what your terminal supports, but in case it supports the \033[<count>L insertion, it should work as follows:
int main() {
    const int up_lines = 3;
    const int new_lines = 6;

    for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
        printf("%d\n", i);
    }

    for (int i = 0; i < new_lines; ++i) {
        // make space for existing lines to move down
        putchar('\n');
    }
    // move up and insert the new (empty lines)
    printf("\033[%dA\033[%dL", up_lines + new_lines, new_lines);

    for (int i = 0; i < new_lines; ++i) {
        printf("A%d\n", i);
    }

    // move back down below original lines
    printf("\033[%dB", up_lines);

    return 0;
}

Basically you first make room for the original lines to move down by outputting a number of newlines equal or greater to the number of lines you mean to insert (this step becomes relevant when the terminal position is so near the bottom that the old lines would move off screen). Then you move up to the insertion position (which has now moved by the number of newlines you printed) and insert the number of lines with \033[<count>L.
edit: Obviously you can repeat this as many times as you like, i.e., you don't have to know in advance how many lines you will insert and where, as long as you move back down to the last line after every batch of inserts. For example, you could insert one line at a time by always printing just one newline at the bottom, then moving up to the insertion position (remembering to account for the one line you just added in between), inserting the line there, and moving back down to the bottom.

The Oldest form of measuring devices. These devices acted independently to measure a given quantity of constantly changing measurements in a metered format which would make the quantity be measured. To a computer the measuements didn't mean anything until the measurement was tranformed to a changing signal based in milliamps or volts that could constantly change. The measurement could then be input into the computer for evaluation and programmed responses, based on given setpoints, would monitor a measured device or what is known as a point in the field, reacting to a given casuality from that point.
Examples of analog devices are clocks, speedometers, rotameters, pressure guages, magnehelics (low pressure guages), flowmeters, current or ampmeters, hertz or frequency meters, voltmeters, weight scales, radio frequency scales, life safety monitors, and various other devices that have meters, scales, or a line showing the measurement.
There are basic chemistries found throughout a Semiconductor Fabrication Factory or what is commonly known as a Fab. These chemistries are the work horses found throughout the Wafer Processing recipes of how to make a wafer. The chemicals are Sulfuric Acid, Hydrogen Peroxide, Hydrochloric Acid, Hydrofluoric Acid, Ammonium Hydroxide, IPA, Ethyl Lactate, Phosphoric Acid, & Photoresist. What I can tell you if you have a basic understanding of these chemicals and what their handling properties are, this knowledge will translate into a greater understanding of the properties of other chemicals. So lets start with Sulfuric Acid.
Im going to begin my teaching and website construction of Hazaurus.com, the same way I learned over the years and develop my practice of work, which could also be said going to work everyday and practicing without even thinking I was practicing for what I would ultimately find to be my mastery of the electronics disciplines I work which wouldn't even be considered work to me because i enjoy it so, much. It would and could be considered my biography of learning. My real joy of this massive endeavor is that Im still around doing the work, I've been developing. My biggest joy is getting the respect by my customers, both internal and external and i love the engagement as the day to day work is a learning experience adding to the project. My biggest problem to overcome is the distractors of the day, or what could be considered time wasters from producing my galaxy-class great works of training modules information cut sheets. Even though the allure of watching TV, watching a good episode of "my programs" I would watch has the act of losing yourself for a while, i need to stop being distracted from the goal of producing work from a Great Master.
A pesky alarm had been plaguing our site for the last half a year. The issues, trying to track down where this alarm was, to who would be responsible for it, to why is this alarm even being monitored were some of the responses being said. I finally got a lead on who to call regarding the panel when the tech arrived I proceeded with him to the suspected panel and found the panel to be confusing in what it was saying. According to the tech, the panel was indicating no problem but was outputting to the site monitoring system a trouble, after further investigation the point of connection was mounted to the correct set of points, normally open, close on alarm. I'll explain this in a future post but now the status according to the site monitoring system was correctly issuing the correct response, no alarm. Much gratitude ensued following the "Clearing of the alarm" and it was said that only through my perseverance was this alarm corrected. Also asking the right questions to the tech, why would our monitoring system be seeing an alarm.


Our administration of justice system in Nigeria is so complex and litigation process too slow and rigorous that it takes time for cases to be disposed in court. And for litigants who may wish to appeal from High Court to Court of Appeal or even to the Supreme Court, there is a considerable monetary implication involved which not every citizen can afford.
Is for the above reason(s) that sometimes parties to a case engage in talks outside court with the intention of resolving the matter. So when the dispute is successfully resolved, the terms of the settlement is given to court and the court adopts it as its judgement in the case. The terms of the agreement adopted by the court is what is known as "consent judgment" or "agreed judgement".
Therefore, consent judgment in simple terms refers to a judgment given after the parties to a case have agreed among themselves to have the claim resolved amicably and later file the terms of settlement in Court and urged on the Court to adopt it as the judgment of the Court. See OBOT & ANOR v. OKPON & ORS (2018) LPELR-45175(CA). It should be noted that consent judgment is of equal force with the judgement delivered by a court after hearing a case on the merit. See OBOT & ANOR v. OKPON & ORS (supra).
As simple and more convenient as consent judgment appears, Litigants ought to be cautious else they will end up making their case more complicated, if not even fruitless, thereby leading to frustration and regretting not following litigation process to the end. That is why we will make an attempt as to whether the court that enters consent judgment matters and will also consider the procedure that one can adopt in applying for setting aside of consent judgement.
Consent Judgment must Be Sanctioned By a Court of Competent Jurisdiction. The court that gives effect to agreed judgement matters a lot. If the consent judgment is delivered by a wrong court, the said agreement shall be a nullity. Example, an agreement in respect of customary title to land cannot be entered in Magistrate Court as consent judgment; an agreement on labour dispute cannot be sanctioned by a High Court.
The case of ABUNG & ORS v. EKABOKON GLOBAL SERVICES LTD & ORS (2018) LPELR-44791(CA) is very illustrative on this point. The case is in respect of mining but the action was instituted at the Cross River State High Court. In order not to prolong the matter, the parties settled it outside and filed the terms of their agreement before the court and same was adopted by the court as its judgement. Different persons appealed against the consent judgment as interested parties and the judgement was set aside for want of jurisdiction. The Court of Appeal was of the view that since the court lacked jurisdiction on mining issues, it could not sanction an greement on same.
By the combined effect of section 251 (1)(n) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended) and section 7(1)(n) of the Federal High Court Act including the provisions of the Mineral and Mining Act, Federal High Court should have been the court with the requisite jurisdiction to sanction the agreement.
Another point which may be relevant is the jurisdictional competence of the Court of Appeal to enter a consent judgment. It was an issue in the case of ARIGUZO & ANOR v. OSOBU & ORS (2016) LPELR-41286(CA). The Court of Appeal held that it could enter consent judgment. It relied on Order 16 of its 2011 Rules (which has been retained in Order 16 of its extant 2016 Rules) which gives room for parties to an appeal to settle their dispute at anytime during the appeal proceedings, through mediation or any other Alternative Dispute Resolution mechanisms.

There is an old African legend. Her soil is red because blood has been spilled on her land since the beginning of time.
It is true that many a battle has taken place on African soil. Borders were drawn, fights were won, tribes established and resettled into the gentle ebb and flow that defines the circle of life. It is survival of the fittest.
When a lioness wakes in the morning, she knows she has to run faster than the leaping antelope or her pride will starve. When an impala wakes, she knows she has to outrun the lioness or she will be eaten. Either way, battle commences, borders are drawn, prides are established and the fittest thrive.
Growing up in Africa I have seen the endless trials and tribulations that form the very foundations of survival. Food and territory; eat or be eaten. However, beyond the daily events in the wild and the endless battles for survival, I have seen too the impossibly red sunsets and the golden light of the Timbervati in the summer. I have heard the lions' roar and the fish eagles cry, watched the skies explode with lightening, heard the rains crash down to soothe the scorched earth, and I too have fought the battles of survival.
My blood flows thick with the heartbeat of Africa, her rich red soil, her endless skies.
Perhaps the legend has been wrong all along. Perhaps the soil is not red because blood has been shed. Perhaps our blood is red because it carries the spirit of Africa, our roots, our one true home.
To spend time in Africa is to spend time with oneself in a way that will leave you changed, yearning for more, beating with the impossible red that is her sun, her soil, her never fading heart.

Ruger LCP .380 ACP and Ruger LC9 9mm Semi-Auto Pistols: Streamlined, Lightweight Subcompact "Pocket" Pistols for Concealed Carry (CCW) | DefenseReview.com (DR): An online tactical technology and military defense technology magazine with particular focus on the latest and greatest tactical firearms news (tactical gun news), tactical gear news and tactical shooting news.
All non-studio photos contained in this article were shot by DefenseReview.com, and are copyrighted. DefenseReview.com owns the copyright on these photos. The photos were shot with a Canon PowerShot S90 10-megapixel digital camera (still camera with video capability). The studio photos of the LCP-LM and LC9-LM pistols belong to Sturm, Ruger & Co.
At the various industry shows, including SHOT Show and NDIA Infantry Small Arms Systems Symposium 2011, DefenseReview (DR) has come across the Ruger LCP .380 ACP and Ruger LC9 9mm (9mm Parabellum/9x19mm NATO) streamlined, lightweight sub-compact semi-auto pistols, both of which are specifically designed for concealed carry (CCW). DR has handled both pistols, but we haven't yet gotten the opportunity to run them at the range, something we'd very much like to do.
The LCP pistol in particular appears to be a very popular pocket pistol/backup pistol with LEOs (Law Enforcement Officers) and civilian CCWs alike. It has a 6+1 ammo capacity and can be had with a LaserMax Centerfire Laser (LCP-LM model). There's also an NRA version of the LCP with Natural Gear camo (camouflage) frame (gripframe).
It should perhaps be noted that the LCP suffered an early recall situation in May 2009 due to a small number of field reports indicating that LCP bearing the prefix "370" (serial number 370-xxxxx) could potentially discharge when dropped onto a hard surface with a round in the chamber. These early LCP pistols were retrofitted with an upgraded hammer mechanism at no charge their owners, and were marked with a diamond in the flat portion of the slot just behind and below the hammer. All LCP pistols with the "371" prefix or higher already had the upgraded hammer mechanism and were not affected.
The Ruger LCP pistol is up against the Kel-Tec P3-AT and Smith & Wesson (S&W) Bodyguard 380 .380 pocket pistols in the commercial market. It would be interesting to see how all three pistols stack up in a side-by-side comparison at the range.
Click here to read GunBlast's range review of the Ruger LCP lightweight .380 ACP pistol, and how it compares to the Kel-Tec P3-AT .380 pistol.
If you come from the "nothing less than 9mm" mindset, and the LCP just isn't enough gun for you, then the Ruger LC9 may just be the ticket. It's a bit larger and almost twice the weight of the LCP, but it's also more powerful. and more powerful and carries one more round (7+1). Assuming the LC9 is reliable, accurate, and durable, and has a good trigger, it should make for a nice concealed carry pistol, but we don't know that it's a pocket pistol like the LCP. The LC9 is arguably more an inside-the-waistband concealed carry pistol.

La rue Pierre-Brossolette est une voie de communication de Châtillon dans les Hauts-de-Seine.

Situation et accès

Orientée d'ouest en est, cette rue commence son tracé à la limite de Clamart, traverse l'avenue de Verdun et se termine au carrefour de l'avenue de la Division-Leclerc et de la rue Gabriel-Péri.

Elle est desservie par la ligne 6 du tramway d'Île-de-France.

Origine du nom

L'ancien nom de cette voie, rue de Clamart, fait pendant à la rue de Châtillon à Clamart, située sur le même axe de la route départementale 68.

Historique

Cet endroit est indissociable de l'histoire des carrières souterraines creusées à cet endroit et remontant au  au moins.

L'Inspection des Carrières relève l'existence d'une ancienne exploitation souterraine de gypse datant de 1760 à l'angle de la rue Pierre-Brossolette et de l'avenue de la Division-Leclerc. Entre les rues Pierre-Brossolette et Lasègue, existe une exploitation à ciel ouvert. Des fabricants de plâtre viendront s'installer sur cette voie, avec l'entreprise Chatelier vers 1859, et Beaumont en 1868.

Parallèlement, les besoins de la capitale en pierre à bâtir augmentent avec les travaux hausmanniens. Entre cette rue et la rue Béranger, le calcaire est creusé jusqu'à trente mètres de profondeur, dans une exploitation qui durera environ de 1870 à 1900.

Bâtiments remarquables et lieux de mémoire
 Cimetière de Châtillon, ouvert en 1827.

New Biktarvy spot puts Gilead in top TV-spending ranks, right behind AbbVie and Pfizer
Κάντε like στη σελίδα μας στο facebook για να μαθαίνετε πρώτοι όλα τα νέα!!
April was an impressive show of pharma TV ad strength even for long-standing top spender Humira. The AbbVie immunology med and megablockbuster topped the list in a big way this month with more than $45 million in national TV buys, according to data from real-time TV ad tracker iSpot.tv.
That's up from $31.5 million in March, an increase of 45%. Pfizer's Xeljanz remained in second place for the third month in a row with $25.8 million in spending, and Gilead Sciences joined in the top 3 with $18.2 million.
But back to Humira, which is suffering under biosimilar assault in Europe. Executives warned in January that sales losses outside the U.S. could amount to $2 billion this year. And as analysts rework their forecast to account for the earlier-than-expected decline, AbbVie's going all out with its promotions in the U.S., where the med won't face biosimilars till 2023. Humira's global sales topped $20 billion last year, with $13.6 billion of that revenue coming from the U.S.

By Michael D. LaFaive
Michigan's largest union of janitors, bus drivers, food service personnel, and teachers has publicly opposed outsourcing while simultaneously contracting with nonunion firms at its headquarters, shown here, in East Lansing.
Editor's Note: This article includes excerpts from a speech delivered by Dr. Myron Lieberman at a conference of superintendents and school board members in Hershey, Pennsylvania, in May 1996. Dr. Lieberman is chairman of the Education Policy Institute in Washington, D.C., an educational research and policy analysis organization. He is the co-author of twelve books and sixteen articles on education policy and teacher bargaining.
Why is membership in public sector unions increasing while membership in private sector unions is decreasing? The answer is competition. The older private sector industries (such as automaking) that have a decreasing rate of union membership are the industries where companies could not quickly adjust to the rigors of new competition. The industries in this country that are growing tend to have little union involvement. The teacher unions (and I emphasize unions, as opposed to the many dedicated teachers in their ranks) know that their biggest threat is competition in the education industry.
The National Education Association published Contracting Out: Strategies For Fighting Back to help its members oppose contracting. Despite the NEA's public stance, 20% of its budget is dedicated to contracted services.
How does a teacher union protect itself? Unions in school districts depend primarily on their political power to get what they want. In California, the law prohibits public employees from working under the supervision of a private contractor. This has effectively prohibited contracting out in California, a state that enrolls one out of every ten pupils in the country.
"Do your best to split the board on crucial issues through contacts with the individual board members or misrepresentation of the issues to the public."
National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) publish documents such as "The People's Cause," which provide instructions on how to oppose privatization. It urges close attention to warning signs that privatization may be imminent. Consider the following excerpt:
If your school board members, a superintendent, or other administrator . . . who seems greatly enamored with the concept of applying competition or market forces to the public school system, has been heavily supported by business, is coming under increasing fire for poorly run schools, is facing severe budget problems, then it's time to start explaining to your members and key communities what could be coming and why it is not a good idea.
The piece goes on to give recommendations on how to organize to fight this. Suggestions include political pressure, identifying local merchants who may lose contracts, and efforts to tie a board member or administrator to a bidder. The guide also includes several suggestions for investigating potential contractors:
The goal is to find information that casts doubt on the company's social responsibility. For instance, you might uncover investments in South Africa or poor environmental practices.
State-based unions such as the Michigan Education Association (MEA), Michigan's largest union of janitors, bus drivers, food service personnel and teachers, use similar techniques to block privatization. Consider the following remarks which were taken from an MEA training audio tape for union negotiators and published with commentary on the Mackinac Center for Public Policy Web site:
Do your best to split the board on crucial issues through contacts with the individual board members or misrepresentation of the issues to the public through press releases. Attempt to carefully attack the credibility of the board negotiating team so that the most of the board team's executive sessions with their board will be spent answering board members' questions about association charges and not with planning up-coming negotiation sessions.
Investigate the background of each school board member, including religious affiliation, marital status, age, education, employment, family, politics, "what do his peers think of him?," "what is his relationship with his employer or employees?," and "does holding a public office help him advance in his job or produce business connections?" This should be investigated, the MEA states, so the negotiator will "know what sensitive chords and nerves to hit during negotiation to get the results you seek."
After gathering information, the MEA recommends that the local union "consider bringing in a heavy from the outside. You know, perhaps your Uniserv director. When the job is done and the bad guy, you know, has to leave town, won't it be nice when the local association won't have to bear the brunt of resentment?"
Editor's Note: For the full text of the anti-school board tactics contained in the MEA training tape, go to www.mackinac.org and access "Teacher Unions: Helping or Hurting?"
Other tactics used by the NEA include suggesting to contractors that bidding may not be worthwhile; ideas for rallies, demonstrations, billboards, leaflets, and signs with slogans or rhetorical questions such as, "Why Does (board of education member's name) Want to Give Our Jobs Away?"; refusing voluntary overtime or optional assignments, and referring all questions and complaints to whoever came up with the idea of contracting out and to the office of the contractor.
In Tecumseh, Michigan, school bus driver Cheryl Cusin accused board members of mismanaging finances, which presumably pushed them into the position of privatizing services. In addition, all fifteen of Tecumseh's school bus drivers (and the substitute drivers) affiliated with AFSCME Local 2915 protested a school board decision to contract with Ryder Student Transportation by calling in "sick" the two days following the board's vote to privatize on April 29, 1996. The drivers claimed that they were too sick or depressed to work. The 2,200 students that they transport twice daily had to find alternate transportation.
The school district claimed the "sick" days were an illegal work stoppage and balked at paying bus drivers for work not done. The bus drivers' union disagreed and challenged the district. Each side ended up in arbitration and an undisclosed financial settlement was reached.
In Wayland, Michigan, a coalition calling itself Citizens Against Privatization threatened to recall the local board of education for its attempt at subcontracting for busing services. While groups such as the Citizens Against Privatization may sound like grass roots, community-driven organizations they may be nothing more than a union front. In May of 1995, the MEA sponsored an antiprivatization conference entitled, "Facing the Challenge," where one speaker instructed participants to recruit local citizens with no direct connection to district employees for protests and letter writing opposition. This may be done to avoid the impression that it is only the local union members who fear outsourcing.
The MEA has stated that it "would oppose any privatization of public school functions" and has considered a "flawed assumption" the belief that "subcontracting saves money, because private companies can provide the same goods or services more efficiently than public entities." Ironically, the MEA made these statements while simultaneously contracting at its own headquarters, even at times with nonunion firms. The NEA is no different. Despite publishing an antiprivatization manual entitled, Contracting Out: Strategies for Fighting Back, 20% of the NEA's budget is for contracted services.
The real shame of union antiprivatization tactics is that they limit the opportunity of educators to do what they do best: transmit knowledge. When school personnel, parents, and students are bombarded with rancorous, emotional debate over issues that involve noninstructional union jobs, we should ask ourselves, "Why do schools exist?" Are they to educate children, or guarantee government jobs for public school support staff?
For a detailed analysis of NEA, AFT, and AFL-CIO strategies and tactics used to prohibit privatization, see Myron Lieberman's new book, The Teacher Unions (New York: The Free Press, 1997).

Q: When are minimal faithful modules over algebras unique? Let $A$ be a unital associative algebra over $\mathbb{C}$. We say an $A$-module $V$ is "minimal faithful" if (i) $V$ is faithful and (ii) $V$ does not have a proper submodule that is faithful.
First of all, does a faithful $A$-module exist? If so, is it finite-dimensional / finitely-generated? What conditions must $A$ satisfy such that these are true?
Is a minimal faithful module of $A$ unique up to isomorphism? If not, what are some necessary and sufficient conditions on $A$ such that uniqueness holds? For example, is it enough to assume that $A$ is semisimple and Frobenius?
Bonus: Let $A$ and $V$ be graded by an abelian group. (For example, consider supermodules over superalgebras). How do the answers to the above questions change?

A: Yes, $A$ has a faithful module. To see this, note that since $1\in A$ satisfies $1a=a$, the left regular module $_AA$ is faithful (and finitely generated by $1\in A$).
If $A_0={_AA}$ is not minimal, then it contains a proper submodule $A_1$ which is still faithful. Repeating, you can get a descending chain of faithful $A$-modules
$$A_0\supset A_1\supset\cdots$$
If you impose the descending chain condition on $A$ (i.e. make $A$ artinian) then you can find a minimal one. There is no reason why this minimal one needs to be unique, though.
In the case of graded algebras, nothing changes except for the fact that you require everything to be graded...
As for the question about whether a faithful representation needs to be finite dimensional, the answer is no. Take the Heisenberg algebra $H$ which is the $\mathbb{C}$-algebra generated by elements $x,d$ satisfying $dx-xd=1$. A minimal faithful representation of this algebra comes from its action on the polynomial ring $\mathbb{C}[X]$, where $x.p(X)=Xp(X)$ and $d.p(x)=\frac{d}{dx}p(x)$. This representation is infinite dimensional.

After the recent upgrade, several shows that I have deleted are still visible on the list of recorded shows. I can't play them, but I can't fully delete them. Any thoughts?
Try a restart of the Hopper the see if the deleted shows still appear in the DVR list. Might try a reset on the Hopper as last resort as well.
I will try a restart. Will that alter any of my settings, timers, or recordings?
I really need some help on this!
I'd contact DISH support on the phone or PM one of the forum moderators in GREEN here and see if they can help you.
Can you check to see what the current software version is on the Hopper?
I'm using U500 and to confirm that mine is fully deleting the show I've selecting to delete. It's removed from the list, then appears in the Trash section where you have to finally actually remove it under options when you in the DVR section.
I've contacted Dish, and I was told that engineers are working on this problem. Hopefully it will get resolved soon.

There seems to be little doubt about the complexity of the parent-child relationship. Increasing research continues to emphasize the importance of this relation to the healthy personality and the self-concept of the youth. Gregory (1958) notes that there is considerable data showing that children who have lost parents due to separation or death have a much greater chance of manifesting antisocial, delinquent, or psychopathic disorders.
There is a great deal of research pointing to the problems, reasons for the problems, and the results of the problems in parent-child relationships. Many studies indicate that it is important for a child to have a good self-concept. Rogers (1951) has supported this contention through his work. How a person feels about himself is a reaction to how he believes others see him. Symonds (1939) indicates that parental attitudes towards their children are a most important factor in the children's self-concept. Parents seeking to develop a healthy, normal child need to help him to be accepting of himself. Medinnus (1965) states that in a study he found that those parents that are perceived to be loving have children with good self-concepts.
In summary, it is important for the child to perceive his parents in a positive way. Those children reporting a good relationship with parents generally have healthier personalities. However, because of the many factors and the complexity of their interactions upon a child's perception of his parent it becomes obvious that much research is needed in this area of inquiry. This study will consider some of the elements of the perceptions which the child has of his parents.

Tasting notes Bitter
In the plant kingdom, bitterness often signals poison. It's why babies will automatically spit out anything bitter – it's a deep-rooted instinctive reaction. Yet many of us acquire quite a taste for bitter things: beer, coffee, citrus peel, and mildly bitter greens like rapini and endive. For centuries, bitter herbs have been infused in alcohol and taken as a restorative, or to improve digestion. These "bitters" are making a huge comeback on the craft cocktail scene, and bitter as a flavour is enjoying a moment in the spotlight – Canadian author Jennifer McLagan's recent book Bitter is a fascinating and delicious read on the topic. She considers bitter to be 'the most sophisticated flavour'.
Tasting notes Pungent
It's the flavour that gets up into your nose and makes you want to sneeze. Raw garlic and onions, black pepper, horseradish, mustard, wasabi, ginger – they all have a uniquely sharp, piquant or pungent quality. What is it? It's a hotness that's different from the heat of chiles, yet from a chemical standpoint, it's nearly identical. The heat of chiles is measured on the Scoville scale, while the heat of garlic and onions is measured on the pyruvate scale, which measures their concentration of pyruvic acid — one of their "pungent" flavour components. The pungency of onions, garlic and radishes can be toned down by salting them and then rinsing them after a few minutes. It can also be tempered by milk products like yogourt and sour cream. Gesundheit!
Tasting notes Preserved Lemon
Preserved Lemon
If you know the comforting smell of lemon-scented wood soap or furniture polish, you'll recognize the same fragrance in preserved lemon. It has all the sunny aroma of fresh lemon, but is somehow more deeply complex. Used frequently in South Asian and Indian cuisines, it's little more than lemons, lemon juice and salt — sometimes with a few spices added to it — left to cure until the lemons have lost all of their bitterness and sourness. The pulpy rind is then used to add a touch of lemony gold to tagines, curries, and soups. Try it anywhere you'd use lemon zest to complement a savoury dish, and you'll marvel at its flavour.
Tasting notes Earthy
Of course dirt is never wanted in food, but an earthy aroma or flavour is sometimes very welcome. The fragrance of wild mushrooms is reminiscent of the dark, mossy forest floor. Very dark-roasted coffee and cocoa beans reveal aromas and flavours that are familiar to anyone who's spent time pulling weeds or re-potting houseplants. Red wines made from varietals like Syrah, Mourvèdre, Grenache and Cabernet Franc can all display distinct aromas of mulch or black earth. Roasted nuts and even vegetables can smell and taste deliciously earthy as well —it's a distinctly deep and elemental flavour that can't be described in any other way.
Tasting notes Nasturtiums
If you've ever planted Nasturtiums, you know they grow like weeds and produce an incredible abundance of flowers. But did you know they're absolutely delicious to eat? They've got a surprising flavour that's mildly mustardy or radishy, like watercress, making them a very beautiful and flavourful addition to green salads and cold summer soups. Nasturtiums are also wonderful in stir-fries and can be baked into fougasses and foccacias. Don't forget to include them in your herb garden!
Tasting notes Ras el Hanout
Every respectable spice merchant in North Africa will create and then sell their own signature blend of top-quality spices called Ras el Hanout. It means "the top of the shop", and is usually quite expensive compared to other spice blends, as it contains only the very best ingredients. There's no fixed formula, but most will contain many familiar spices —cardamom, coriander, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger, pepper — as well as several that are lesser known to North American palates including: grains of paradise, orris root, rosebud, and long peppers. It's a kaleidoscope of fragrance and flavour that adds dazzling colour to Moroccan food. Also delicious as a rub for grilled lamb.
Tasting notes Yogourt & Heat
Yogourt & Heat
You may have heard that milk is the best way to cool off your mouth after eating something spicy. Milk works well, but yogourt works wonders, and is a natural complement to the flavours of the spicy cuisines – Indian, Mexican, and North African. Yogourt is loaded with casein, a milk protein, that helps break the bonds between your taste buds and capsaicin, the molecule that make chiles taste "hot". The thicker the yogourt, the more casein it contains – that's why our plain Greek yogourts all do the trick perfectly.
Tasting notes Smoke
The flavour of wood smoke, like that of salt, appeals to something deep within our collective taste memory. Smoke means fire and at one time you needed a fire to cook. Today, not only can you cook without fire, you can easily conjure up the complex flavour of smoke with a pinch of smoked salt, or smoked paprika. You can perfume a dish with delicate smokiness by adding smoked chiles, cheese, or tea. You can order smoked beer at many microbreweries, and some mixologists will smoke a Bloody Caesar right before your eyes in a specialized smoking chamber. When fine-tuning flavours at home, or looking to add a final touch to your latest creation, don't overlook this subtle yet powerful flavour.
