Toronto Announers Got Mad At Jim Boylen's Timeout On Super Bowl Sunday
There are many sporting events happening on Sunday, but all of them are scheduled to end prior to 6 p.m. ET, as no sporting league is silly enough to try and compete with the Super Bowl.
It doesn't always work out as intended, as sporting events regularly go over their intended time, which can create a bit of a conundrum for everyone involved, from fans to those playing to announcers, all of whom want to watch the Super Bowl. This Sunday, the Waste Management Phoenix Open went to a playoff, with Webb Simpson birdieing the last to tie Tony Finau, forcing Jim Nantz and Nick Faldo to remain on the call on CBS with kickoff rapidly approaching.
Elsewhere, in the NBA, the Raptors dominated the Bulls in a 129-102 blowout win in Toronto, but even north of the border, folks were on edge about missing the start of the NFL's championship game. Down 25 with one minute to go, Jim Boylen decided to burn a timeout to draw up something for his Bulls team, which drew the ire Raptors color commentator Jack Armstrong, who (rightly) lamented the move as something that simply delayed the inevitable.
Raptors announcer is fed up with Jim Boylen for calling a timeout with 1 minute left in a 25 point blowout ????
"It's Super Bowl Sunday, I want to get out of here!" – Jack Armstrong pic.twitter.com/cZn1in2PTP
— ClutchPoints NBA (@ClutchPointsNBA) February 2, 2020
Boylen will surely insist he has to coach hard to the final whistle, but Armstrong is right. It's a try hard move to pretend to be always working hard, when that work should've shown itself in the first 47 minutes of the game. For the announcers, they've got postgame responsibilities that will keep them there for at least another half hour after the game, usually, so at 5:30 p.m. ET this was, certainly pushing it and Armstrong decided to let Boylen have it.

Brookline, NH - Andres Sculpture Park - Forest of "Huh?"
Brookline, New Hampshire: Andres Sculpture Park - Forest of "Huh?"
Artist Paul Andres collection of sculpture from around the world is spread along wooded trails on Big Bear Mountain. Mostly abstract and cryptic pieces, interesting to experience in the forest setting.

Visitor Tips and News About Andres Sculpture Park - Forest of "Huh?"
Andres Sculpture Park - Forest of "Huh?"
Rugged hiking with interesting art. We liked that the sculptures were spaced frequently along the trail. Many different trail options and lengths. It isn't silly or fun, it's beautiful and unique. It's the a-deCordova in terms of grounds and facilities, but just as good.
The Andres Institute of Art is located on Big Bear Mountain, which is owned by Paul Andres. While his private residence and studio are on the top of the mountain, he recreated the rest of the grounds as a public sculpture park, featuring sculptures from artists around the world, scattered about on wooded hiking trails. The trails are short, easy going, and fairly well marked, but the real highlights are the sculptures. While most feature stone (the grounds contain old quarry sites), they vary in size, material, and subject. Most are very abstract, bringing out the "huh??" in most people.
Best of all, the park is free, and is open every day from dawn to dusk. You can also print out a map of the grounds from their website (andresinstitute.org), however, a word of warning about their approximated time lengths of the trails: My husband and I hiked around here for about an hour (with plenty of stops to take pictures) and saw about half of the sculptures. Unless you walk very slowly and/or spend a lot of time at each sculpture, it will take you much less time than the map suggests.

Clothing and footwear sales rose 6.6% year on year by value and 7.1% by volume in May.
According to the Office for National Statistics, the value of retail sales across all sectors rose by 4.4% in May. Total sales rose by 2.2% in volume.
He added: "The sector is now entering a more demanding trading period with further headwinds anticipated in the second half of the year from a potential rise in VAT, inflation the Far East and commodity prices".
Richard Lloyd-Owen, UK head of consumer business at Deloitte, commented: "Today's figures from the ONS show retail sales increasing at a faster rate than expected during May. However, retailers will be under no illusions that they face challenging conditions.


I had a whole lot of fun with this one, guys! I'm not one to do very many (or any really) DIY projects around here but summer and my friends at Sauza Tequila inspired me and I had a blast. I set out to create my very own pair of jorts (jean shorts) with the help of an icy cool Sauza-rita in hand. It's easy, fun (and funny) to do and I've actually been wearing my new pair of jorts quite a bit this summer! Inspired by this one interesting cowboy, the project is quick and easy and would be a blast to do with some gal friends (and tequila in hand.) Just grab a pair of old (or new) jeans that are a bit loose on you - you don't want some tight shorts! - trace exactly where you want to cut (you may want to be wearing them while doing this so you know exactly what length you'll get) and grab a pair of scissors to do the job. And voila! Jorts for the summer are all done. So easy even I could do it! Tell me, what are some of your favorite DIYs for the summer-time? Follow me on Pinterest as I pin away some of my very own favorite summer time DIYs, Sauza-rita recipes, and other miscellaneous summer inspiration for you all to enjoy. Oh! And catch this one interesting cowboy's 'Make it With a Cowboy DIY' video here.
This is definitely an easy DIY, I love buying vintage jeans and cutting them off to give a different effect. These turned out great!
Cool DIY. I don't know what mine would look like after having tequila lol!


Faced with a prolonged civil war, the oil-dependent economy was brought down, forcing people to choose between buying mobile phones or consuming bread. Africa's largest telecom operator, MTN group, with the turnover of R146 billion in 2015, has been challenged by the sinking economy in the world's youngest country. MTN South Sudan with an approximate subscriber base of 1.2 million, however, resilient in its marks, invested a hefty amount of $170 million in the past two years in the hope to generate profits but in vain.
MTN South Sudan took extreme measures to curtail costs by laying off staff, scaling down operations and putting an immediate stop to all growth plans. However, continued survival in these conditions depends upon becoming more cost-efficient. MTN management decided to tap into the full potential of the electronic channel and endorsed it as the primary channel of subscriber mobile recharge by curtailing distribution of scratch cards. The transition journey was not all steady and smooth in start as MTN South Sudan faced difficulties in strategy implementation, but they addressed those issues tactfully and almost doubled the number of active agents in just one month of transition.


The couple will invite 2,640 members of the public to see the marriage unfold at Windsor Castle.
The baptism will take place at the Kensington Palace chapel and performed by Archbishop Justin Welby.
In order to marry her Prince Charming, Meghan must be baptised and confirmed in the Church Of England.
Meghan Markle is becoming the most talked-about royal of all time. Her name is Parisa Fitz-Henley and the actress is slated to play Meghan Markle, the woman who stole the heart of the second son of the late Princess Diana, Prince Harry.
Speaking about that infamous night Mel C said, after meeting the heir to the throne: "I refrained from doing anything inappropriate today, but like I said to Charles the last time I saw him "It wasn't me" and he knows exactly who it was".
While the Royal family can, of course, bear such extravagant arrangements, we only hope Meghan's dress turns out to be equally gorgeous.
The recent data, commissioned by United Kingdom website VoucherCodesPro.co.uk from over 2,000 Britons aged 18 and up, found that Markle was the most relatable female royal.
Meghan Markle's exit from Suits has been teased in a new trailer with her character preparing for "an adventure of a lifetime".
"We are incredibly happy for Meghan and Harry".
They married in a civil ceremony, which was followed by a blessing, as Dr Welby's predecessor, Rowan Williams, refused to let them marry due to their previous adultery and as Camilla's ex-husband, Andrew Parker-Bowles, was still alive.
According to Dailymail, Harley Street surgeon Dr Julian De Silva mapped the 36-year-old's face and compared it to the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton, Zara Phillips, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, who came in places two to five, respectively.
The move mimics Duchess Kate's confirmation in a private service at St. James' Palace leading up to her 2011 wedding to Prince William.
The Oxfordshire hotel was the flawless choice for Meghan due to its exclusivity and remote location, the soon-to-be royal was able to kick back and relax far away from the paparazzi.

Q: Attempting to understand the hashmap data structure I am working on a homework assignment that deals with constructing a hashmap data structure, and I'm not understanding a line of code that was given to us. In the program, a variable is initiated as follows:
private Map<K,V>[] buckets;

I know what the concept of buckets are when used in a hashmap, but how can I use a map array to create buckets? When I look at this code, it seems as though I need to create an array of hashmaps, but that doesn't make sense at all.
If you need any more information, just let me know.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Below is the code that was provided.
package cs2321;

import net.datastructures.*;

public class HashMap<K, V> implements Map<K, V> {

private Map<K,V>[] buckets;

protected final int mDefaultHashSize = 1021;

/**
 * Constructor that takes a hash size
 * @param hashsize The number of buckets to initialize
 *                 in the HashMap
 */
public HashMap(int hashsize){
    // TODO: Be sure to initialize the bucket array
    //       using the hashsize given as the number of buckets
}

public HashMap(){
    // TODO: Be sure to initialize the bucket array
    //       using the default hash size provided.
}

public Iterable<Entry<K, V>> entrySet() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return null;
}

public V get(K key) throws InvalidKeyException {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return null;
}

public boolean isEmpty() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return false;
}

public Iterable<K> keySet() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return null;
}

public V put(K key, V value) throws InvalidKeyException {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return null;
}

public V remove(K key) throws InvalidKeyException {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return null;
}

public int size() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return 0;
}

public Iterable<V> values() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return null;
}

}

A: Here is an array of HashMaps used to demo how a HashMap works.  Study it and tell us how it works and why HashMaps are so widely used?
public class Test {
static private Map<String,String>[] buckets;
static int numberOfBuckets = 3;
static public void main(String...strings) {
    buckets = new Map[numberOfBuckets];
    for (int x=0; x!=numberOfBuckets; x++) {
        buckets[x]=new HashMap<String,String>();
    }
    String s1 = "one ijsiji jdj i";
    String s2 = "two ijs42i jdj i";
    String s3 = "th3 ijsiji 42j i";
    String s4 = "i42 ji jdj i";
    buckets[(Math.abs(s1.hashCode()) % numberOfBuckets)].put(s1,"");
    buckets[(Math.abs(s2.hashCode()) % numberOfBuckets)].put(s2,"");
    buckets[(Math.abs(s3.hashCode()) % numberOfBuckets)].put(s3,"");
    buckets[(Math.abs(s4.hashCode()) % numberOfBuckets)].put(s4,"");
    for (int x=0; x!=numberOfBuckets; x++) {
        System.out.println(buckets[x]);
    }
}
}

Output
{two ijs42i jdj i=}
{one ijsiji jdj i=, i42 ji jdj i=}
{th3 ijsiji 42j i=}

A: Hard to say precisely without seeing the wider code base, but from the information given I suspect that "Map" in this context really means "MapEntry" or something similar and that the map entries represent key/value pairs.
Remember, hashmap buckets need to contain both keys and values so that it is possible to distinguish between entries that have different keys but the same hash value.
Note that map entries in Java are normally expected to conform to the Map.Entry interface. If the "Map" class being used in your case supports this interface then that's a pretty good clue that it is playing this role :-)
Of course, another possibility is that they are actually hashmaps that represent the contents of each bucket. But that seems very odd for two reasons:

*

*There's no benefit of using a hashmap within a single bucket since you already know they have the same hashcode

*If you already have a hashmap implementation, it would be strange to use it to reimplement another hashmap.

I guess it's also possible that the Maps are a different kind of map (red black tree maybe?) but again that would be odd - usually the bucket implementation would use an array or a linked list rather than a heavyweight map data structure.
Update (after code was posted)
From the code now posted, it seems clear that the intention is one of the last two options, i.e. to implement the hashmap using another map structure to represent the contents for each bucket. Seems odd for the reasons given above, but I think it's reasonably clear from the template code that this is what is intended.

No matter how efficiently a business is run, its reputation is affected by its website. To make a bid for the modern art of online effectiveness, Doyle held nothing in reserve.
The Site was a Decade Old (And It Showed)
The web changes daily, but Doyle's website hadn't been updated in a decade. The site had been custom built, was completely out of step with contemporary design, and had a weak backend database. Doyle was sitting on a treasure trove of valuable content, but the site couldn't present a fraction of the hundreds of thousands of beautiful and unique items—many of which had sold for record-setting prices—that the auction house had handled over the years.
The sprawling and interconnected system included a back-office software component that could not be affected by the new website.
Converting Legacy Data into a Standardized Format
Doyle's operations worked efficiently, so whatever was done couldn't interfere with employees' existing activities. But unlocking years of data constructed in a non-standard way would require exporting it as-is and then normalizing it–that is, structuring it in a more standardized, logical, and streamlined way. The tasks for the front-end website were to modernize it, make it easy for managers to update editorial content, and adapt it for mobile.
Our methodical design process gives precedence to function over form. Before creating full-fledged comps, we first create detailed wireframes that illustrate functionality and user flow. When we reach the UI phase, we can focus exclusively on design as most of the UX concerns have already been settled.
Standardizing the Data for Drupal + Mobile Friendly UI Design
Beginning with a period of consultation to understand the client's business, objectives, and competitive pressures, Endertech transformed the data structure for access by Drupal 8, the latest version of the robust and flexible content management framework. The design team created an entirely new, mobile-friendly UI with an emphasis on imagery and ample white space to eliminate clutter and immerse the user in an elegant, high-end web experience. The site architecture lets visitors find what they're looking for easily and pages load instantly, despite the heavy use of images. In addition, managers can now easily modify and control site content.
The new design put high-quality imagery center stage, eliminated clutter, and incorporated a comprehensive system of content hierarchy‐all adding up to a much-improved user experience.
All-Around Increase in Visitors
Site performance was measured before and after the new site was launched, and Doyle calculated that
Region-specific SEO increased site visibility in each office region around the country
The total number of online visits rose 20%
Bounce rates declined
Traffic to absentee bid pages almost doubled, rising 80%.

As billions of people continue to stay at home, they continue to use their smartphones at higher and higher rates. Users are not only spending more time on gaming apps but also spending more money. Appsflyer's recent report says that revenue has been steadily rising since the end of March. Meanwhile, Adjust's latest data says that installs and downloads had significant increases in Q1 2020. Learn all about it in this week's Mobile Monday!
Downloads and Installs Surge for Gaming Apps
Adjust's Mobile App Trends Report 2020 indicated that surges in app usage as the coronavirus pandemic disrupted industries and economies around the world. Mobile games had an uptick in installs during Q1 2020 with a 132% jump in the last week of March. This quarter had a 75% increase in downloads year-over-year. Additionally, gaming apps had a 47% increase in sessions as users turned to their smartphones for entertainment during the quarantine.
The report also showed increases in sessions and installs across many other verticals. Entertainment app installs have increased rapidly since people began staying home, trending 55% above where they were last year. Business apps got huge boosts in user sessions (105%) and installs (70%) in comparison to a year earlier as people shifted to working from home. With restaurants closed for dine-in meals, food and drink apps experienced a 73% jump in user sessions while installs rose 21%.
App Revenue on the Rise Since the Pandemic Started
Appsflyer's report entitled The Coronavirus (COVID-19) Impact on App Installs and Marketing Budgets revealed that app revenue rose across the globe during the start of the pandemic. Almost two-thirds of app categories saw increases in revenue worldwide during the first week of April from mid-March as shelter-in-place orders boosted mobile usage. Forty percent of those app verticals saw revenue gains of more than 20% according to the report.
Casual games and social casino revenue rose 35% since the end of February and 12-16% since the first week of April. Hardcore gaming revenue was up 17% during the third week of April after a 14% drop, while midcore also saw a 9% rise after a 13% drop the previous week. In the United States specifically, all these gaming categories enjoyed increases in player spend during the same week.

In the 1960s, Birmingham, Alabama, was one of the most segregated places in the United States. In 1963, civil rights leaders Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. organized nonviolent protests in the city to take a stand against race-based injustice. Day after day, hundreds of marchers took to the streets, including hundreds of school-aged youth. These nonviolent protesters suffered brutal mistreatment at the hands of police and other city officials, gaining national attention and eventually winning major concessions in the fight for equal rights.


A Spring wedding was on the cards for Michelle and Anthony, and they chose the opulent surrounds of Tankardstown House, Co. Meath.
On their anniversary in 2016, Anthony and Michelle took a trip to Powerscourt, Co. Wicklow to celebrate being together for eight years. Having met at a mutual friend's 21st, the pair met over and over again – "It was meant to be!" Michelle told us. On a romantic walk to Powerscourt waterfall, Anthony got down on one knee. "I had an inkling it was coming, but it was still such a shock!" Michelle said.
Not long afterward, the pair visited Tankardstown House in Co. Meath while on their search for the perfect venue. "The minute we visited Tankardstown House, we knew it was the venue for us – the room, grounds, staff, food – all of it was just what we were looking for. It was arguably the best decision we made with the wedding. Everything was perfect on the day and nothing was a problem in the run-up to it," Anthony said.
"There are so many great memories from the day. Seeing my Dad for the first time when I was in my dress. I'm very close to Dad and as his only daughter, I knew he would get upset! It was so nice to be able to show him the dress and veil I had picked at last. Seeing Anthony at the top of the aisle and catching up with him in the car journey to Tankardstown was another favourite moment," said Michelle.

Test kit for faster UHT and ESL beverage tasting
Staff Writer April 14, 2016, 1:18 am April 14, 2016
Global demand for commercially sterile beverages is growing more than 9 per cent annually, according to a market research report by Reportlinker. Taking this into consideration, 3M have announced the launch of their Microbial Luminescence Systems UHT Beverage Screen Kit.
This new rapid test expands the application of the Microbial Luminescence System (MLS) from UHT dairy products to a wide variety of UHT and ESL beverages such as fruit juices, caffeinated drinks, coconut waters, smoothies, dairy, dairy substitutes, and dairy/juice mixtures. The system provides a rapid method for quality release testing, reducing the time-to-result by two to three days or more, compared to traditional methods like agar plates and pH measurement.
Using bioluminescence technology, the Microbial Luminescence System detects ATP (adenosine triphosphate), an energy molecule universally present in all living organisms, no matter how small. This technology allows the 3M MLS to have faster time-to-result than traditional pH or agar tests, and more reliably detect a broad range of microorganisms than traditional methods.
Following a 2-3 day sample pre-incubation time, the 3M MLS technology provides a rapid result in less than 30 minutes, eliminating the need for further plating and incubating of agar dishes. This expedited time-to-result enables beverage producers to release product quicker, reduce inventory and storage space as well as increase their flexibility and lab productivity.
"UHT and ESL beverages and their processing techniques are becoming more sophisticated and diverse. Yet the historical test methods continue to lag behind and are time-consuming and limiting," said Eric Amann, 3M Food Safety global marketing manager. "This new and improved 3M technology provides a quicker and more reliable way to detect microorganisms in a wide variety of beverages."

EXCLUSIVE: Amy Schumer's Guide to 5 Essential Goldie Hawn Movies to Watch Ahead of 'Snatched'
By John Boone 12:00 PM PDT, May 9, 2017
Snatched may be Amy Schumer's favorite Goldie Hawn movie, but that's mostly because it was, as she's said, "a complete dream come true" to film with one of her idols. "I threw my arms around her -- I don't know if this is weird or not -- and I was just like, 'I love you so much,'" Schumer told ET of being on set with Hawn. "Getting to see Goldie every day and be on camera together was the best part. We fell in love...but [also] the movie's amazing."
Fair enough. But it was Hawn's illustrious filmography -- spanning 50 years and including an Academy Award win for Cactus Flower in 1969 -- that inspired Schumer to try to entice her back to the big screen, marking Hawn's film in 15 years. (Her last was 2002's The Banger Sisters.) Ahead of Snatched's release on Friday, we had Schumer list her five must-watch Goldie Hawn movies.
EXCLUSIVE: Amy Schumer Opens Up About 'Dream' Co-Star Goldie Hawn, Reveals How She Asked Her to Do 'Snatched'
"Like, of course. Because [it's] so funny but also makes you cry and feel better," Schumer says of the 1987 rom-com, which starred Hawn as a cruel socialite who suffers amnesia and is tricked into believing she is the wife of a revengeful carpenter she'd screwed over, played by Hawn's longtime partner, Kurt Russell. "I'm forgetting that young gentleman's name," Schumer joked. "Just some guy."
Seems Like Old Times
Columbia Pictures
"I just loved that," Schumer explains of the 1980 comedy in whiched Hawn starred opposite Chevy Chase. She plays an attorney and the wife of the District Attorney -- and ex-wife of a reluctant bank robber (played by Chase). "She loved the dogs. She loved me and the dogs," Hawn chimed in of her five canine costars, to which Schumer deadpanned, "Yeah, it's good to see the dogs."
First Wives Club
We asked for three favorites, but Schumer slipped in a fourth and fifth -- understandably. "I gotta have, like, a swing last vote, because I'll love First Wives Club and then Housesitter and Private Benjamin. You know, it's too hard!" The first, 1996's First Wives Club, saw Hawn star alongside Bette Midler and Diane Keaton as an iconic trio of divorcées seeking revenge on the husbands who left them for younger women.
Housesitter
The second, 1992's Housesitter, paired Hawn with Steve Martin years before they would reunite on The Out-of-Towners. Quite the opposite of Overboard, here, Hawn played a con artist who moves into a home left empty by Martin's character and, unbeknownst to him, starts a new life posing as his wife.
Private Benjamin
The third is 1980's Private Benjamin, a comedy where Hawn, once again, plays a socialite, albeit one whose newlywed husband dies on their wedding night and, through a series of mishaps, she accidentally joins the U.S. Army and is sent off to basic training. "It changes," Schumer adds. "You go, 'Oh, that one! That's my favorite!'"

We often overlook the fact that plants are also a living organism just like humans and animals since they do not move freely and speak.
However, unlike the rest of plants, this unique weed reveals to us that plants could also respond to touch.
Also known as tickle-me-plant or touch-me-not, this very shy plant can be in many places around the world although it is actually native to Latin America.
While to many, this plant is extremely shy or sensitive, this is actually one of Mimosa Pudica's brilliant tactics to avoid being eaten.
However, it can also learn to ignore changes that are not hostile or meaningless like raindrops.

Paul married his high school sweetheart Donetta Grimsley in 1973 at Woodville First Baptist Church in CA. Paul loved planes, obtained his private pilot license and flew for a few years. Paul worked for his dad in the grocery store from the time he could sort pop bottles until he went away to college. Paul continued to work in grocery stores in Salem, OR and Poulsbo, WA.
Paul entered his calling as a Pastor of First Baptist Church of Sedro-Woolley, WA and was Pastor there for about twenty years, then Pastor of Chuckanut Community Baptist for eight years. Paul loved the Lord, his family, church family and many friends. Paul dedicated his life to the church, always busy with sermons, Awana, VBS, camps and BBQ's. Paul always offered a word of encouragement, lending a listening ear or words of counsel, especially to young people and newly married couples wanting God's best for them. Paul bought Hulbush Funeral Home in Burlington, WA and was a Funeral Director for twenty years until he retired in 2020.
Paul had many different passions and talents, building one of a kind of furniture for family and grandkids. Paul was always willing to lend a helping hand whether it is with his tool belt or hands. He always loved to go and cheer on his children, friends and grandchildren at sporting events. Paul enjoyed painting on canvas and teaching his grandkids how to paint. He was a jokester always teasing anyone he met, especially the young ones. Paul enjoyed traveling, always planning family reunions because getting family together was important to him.

Q: VB.net equivalent of C++ Code What is the VB.net equivalent of the following code:
extern void * PASCAL EXPORT rclib_get_alarmmsg( int type, int num );

Particularly I want to know what the * does. I assume it's some kind of ByRef business but I don't know!
Just to give a bit more context, the following code:
extern short PASCAL EXPORT rclib_set_alarm(short ,short mactype = 0);

roughly translates to:
Declare Function rclib_set_alarm Lib "rbcutlib.dll" (ByVal FlibHndl As Short) As Short

So basically I'm trying to do the same translation with the first line of code but I'm not sure what the implications of the void and * are.

A: void* is IntPtr. rclib_get_alarmmsg return pointer to some structure (alarmmsg). void* is type-unsafe pointer.


Philip, who was graduated from the University of Melbourne, Australia, was selected for the award from a national pool of candidates. He was recognized for a paper titled "Measurement Accuracy in Assessing Patients' Quality of Life: To Weight or Not to Weight," which compared different ways to assess patients' well-being in order to determine the most accurate method.
This is the first time the award has been presented two years in a row to graduate students from the same university. The award last year was presented to Carolyn Heitzmann, also a graduate student in the Notre Dame psychology department's counseling program. Her research suggested that there might be an "optimal match" of the need for social support and its provision to enhance cancer patients' well-being, and that support from others, such as family, friends or more formalized providers may not always be beneficial.

It's one thing to see what measures are in the budget, but quite another to explore the implications for SMEs and the broader economy. My Business asks business, accounting and tax leaders to analyse what the real impacts will be for Australia's business owners.
The announcement that the $20,000 instant asset write-off would be extended for another year was universally welcomed, as was the decision to expand the availability to SMEs by raising the required turnover threshold from $2 million to $10 million.
"This … will provide an immediate deduction and hence a lower tax bill to a broader range of businesses," says Ross Watson, principal of SMB at national tax and advisory firm RSM Australia.
Agreeing to the point was Andrew Conway, CEO of the Institute of Public Accountants, who said cancelling the measure would have hit SMEs hard.
"If the decision had been to revert the limit to $1,000, it would have been a huge disincentive for many small businesses.
"The increase in the accelerated depreciation write-off threshold to $20,000 has been of great assistance to small business cash flow.
Adam Joy, CEO of the Australian Lottery and Newsagents Association (ALNA) – which represents more than 4,000 independent businesses selling official lottery tickets – was one of many people calling for the measure to be made permanent.
"Cash flow is essential for our members, as many are investing in new shop fit components to renew their retail offerings right now," he says.
It was a view echoed by MYOB CEO Tim Reed.
"Making the $20,000 instant tax write-off permanent for new assets is a key priority for SMEs," he says.
"A recent MYOB SME Snapshot survey found 60 per cent of SMEs considered it to be the most pressing need for small business in this budget.
Meanwhile the Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman, Kate Carnell, suggested it was not the duration of the measure but the dollar amount that could be revised to benefit more businesses and industries.
"We would have liked a lift in the $20,000 threshold for the instant asset write-off, because for some industries, like farming, the $20,000 threshold is too low to enable them to purchase equipment," she says.
Any reduction in business tax is a welcome one, and this year's budget reinforced the commitment made last year to lower Australia's company tax rate.
"Tax concessions for businesses in the lower bands of turnover ($2 to $3 million) are where you will see the entrepreneurial levers kicking into action fastest. Tax relief for these smaller businesses will give maximum innovation and job creation impact in the short term," says Michael Judge, head of corporate clients at foreign exchange provider OFX.
However, as many industry leaders such as Reckon CEO Clive Rabie point out, the current levels of cuts don't go far enough to keep Australian businesses competitive with their global counterparts.
"The recent moves to reduce the company tax rate for small businesses to 27.5 per cent is positive, however there is more work to do when comparable nations like the UK have a rate of 19 per cent, and the US is looking to move to 15 per cent," he says.
"Australia's high company tax rate, and state and territory payroll tax rates, are evidently massive inhibitors to small business growth. Any tax relief that can be delivered to small businesses is welcome, as it means they can spend more on productivity-enhancing technology and machinery, and create more jobs which drives economic activity.
Business owners will have to be more careful than ever when declaring assets for CGT concessions, following changes to eligibility requirements.
"The government announced the small business CGT concession will be tightened to deny eligibility for assets which are unrelated to the small business," says RSM Australia's Mr Watson.
However, he criticised the blurring of the lines when it comes to the government's definition of what constitutes a small business.
"While the definition of small business for many measures has been lifted for those with an aggregated turnover of less than $10 million, the government has left the turnover threshold for the small business CGT concessions at less than $2 million," he explains.
Given the debate and confusion among business owners that was sparked by the abolition of 457 temporary foreign worker visas last month, the SME community was eagerly looking to the budget for investment in training and education in areas facing acute skills shortages.
"We hope another issue for our members, of funding practical competency-based training and skills gaps, will be addressed by the four-year, $1.5 billion announced to establish the new Commonwealth-State Skilling Australians Fund," said Mr Joy of the ALNA.
While welcoming the needs-based approach to school funding, ACS – the professional association for the ICT sector – says the budget failed to go far enough to address key skills shortages.
"At a time when the performance of Australian students in science and maths is declining, the ACS supports a stronger focus on building digital skills and digital literacy in Australian classrooms. This must be a critical economic and policy priority, especially when STEM is associated with 75 per cent of the fastest growing occupations, innovations and wage premiums," its president Anthony Wong says.
Aside from funding for education and training, MYOB's Mr Reed expressed concern about the decision to add a new levy on businesses hiring foreign workers.
"We are concerned about the extra compliance costs forced on small businesses in the courier and cleaning industries [for example]," he says.
The government was criticised for not using the budget as a means of leveraging the GST, as a means of scrapping some of the less efficient and much loathed state taxes.
"Last week, Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand called on Treasurer Scott Morrison to use the budget as a platform to open the GST debate and eliminate inefficient state taxes," says Reckon's Mr Rabie.
Businesses associated with infrastructure development were among those to applaud the government's funding commitments to a number of major infrastructure projects. However Megan Motto, chief executive of built environment body Consult Australia, said there was scope to go even further.
"Over $14 billion of direct government equity in major infrastructure delivery and financing agencies. Major projects like Snowy Hydro, Inland Rail, a National Rail Program, and Western Sydney Airport, all point to a government that understands the long-term nature of infrastructure projects," she says.
"Yet in the short term there is a sense of missed opportunity. Historically low bond rates and a triple-A credit rating mean it has never been a better time to borrow, to take on more good debt. Yet as a share of GDP, spending will drop from 25.5 per cent to 25.2 per cent in 2020-21.
This little-known measure was included in a bid to counteract the cash economy and tax avoidance.
"Sales suppression technology and software allow businesses to understate their incomes by untraceably deleting selected transactions from electronic records in POS equipment. Income earned from these transactions and tax owing from this income is not reported to the Australian Tax Office (ATO)," explains RSM Australia's Mr Watson.
However, he expressed doubts at the effectiveness of such a move.
Yet Mr Rabie from Reckon says that any move to control the black economy represents a step to make the playing field more level for responsible business owners.
"The ABS estimates that the black economy could be as large as 1.5 per cent of Australian GDP or around $24 billion dollars, which is significant. Small and medium businesses that engage in black economy activities such as 'cash only' for illegitimate reasons are getting an unfair advantage as they can undercut other businesses doing the right thing and who are paying their fair share of taxes," he says.

Can-Am Releases New Machines in Their Innovative Defender Lineup
|In UTV Community Talk
|By Rachael Cowden
New to Can-Am's 2020 lineup are the Defender Limited packages and the Defender PRO HD10 models – machines that are distinctive, tough, and capable. With this expansion of their popular Defender line, Can-Am continues to innovate and push the boundaries of the side-by-side industry. The new packages and models all feature refined styling for 2020, as well as added protection, enhanced capabilities, and enriched comfort.
Read on for the information about the new machines, or check out our first impressions video below.
Defender Limited Packages
Though the Defender Limited packages boast several upgrades for 2020, the hallmark addition is a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. The entirely-enclosed, air-tight cabin is climate controlled, making the Defender Limited a true all-season vehicle. For those working outside year-round, this is a game changer – never has it been easier to work day and night, rain or shine, cold or hot, etc. Plus, the enclosure makes the cabin significantly quieter and more spacious, giving a comfortable and unrivaled experience for both the driver and the passengers.
Another noteworthy facet of the Defender Limited packages is their heavy-duty front steel bumpers, with an upper bumper plate to enhance the vehicle's protection while improving its overall durability. This, paired with the 1000cc Rotax V-twin engine with 82 hp and 69 lb-ft of torque, keeps the machine up for any task, every time.
Any of the Defender Limited vehicles can be purchased in a three-person or six-person (six-person is designated by "MAX") package to accommodate for both passenger and hauling needs. Camo and white color variations are available for both Defender Limited packages. The machines are available for purchase now, the three-person model starting at $25,199 with the MAX starting at $27,899.
Defender PRO HD10 Models
Can-Am's Defender PRO HD10 models were built for hard work, as evident through their expansive cargo space and impressive cargo space adaptability. The massive, multifunctional cargo box is 6 ft x 4.5 ft and includes a convertible flatbed design with pass-through lower storage. The machine also features an extended wheelbase that offers exceptional stability, all while lessening the noise and vibrations entering the cockpit.
To keep the Defender PRO models duty-motivated and work-centered, Can-Am has equipped their machines with a massive 2,500 lbs. towing capacity and a 1,7000 lbs. payload, along with 100 gallons of on-board storage.
The Defender PRO HD10 models come with three seats and in color variations of white and camo for the PRO OPS and black for the PRO XT. Both models are available now with pricing starting at $17,899 for the PRO OPS and $20,099 for the PRO XT.
Parts and Accessories New for 2020
As if the new machines weren't exciting enough, Can-Am also released a slew of new accessories to add convenience, enhance operation, and provide versatility to the Defender line. The new Defender accessories include:
Rancher Front Bumper – MSRP: $499.99
Defender PRO & MAX Rock Sliders – MSRP: $579.99
Defender PRO Fender Flares – MSRP: $259.99
Hanging Storage Box Kit – MSRP: $134.99
LinQ Cargo Rack – MSRP: $319.99
LinQ Tailgate Extension/Divider – MSRP: $249.99
Defender PRO Side Wind Deflectors – MSRP: $179.99
S3 Performance Bumpers
ProVent Accessories
Can-Am Audio Roof – MSRP: $2,499.99

New ephemeris of the ADC source 2A 1822–371: a stable orbital-period derivative over 30 years

Accepted: 4 March 2010
We report on a timing of the eclipse arrival times of the low mass X-ray binary and X-ray pulsar 2A 1822–371 performed using all available observations of the Proportional Counter Array on board the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer, XMM-Newton pn, and Chandra. These observations span the years from 1996 to 2008.
Combining these eclipse arrival time measurements with those already available covering the period from 1977 to 1996, we obtain an orbital solution valid for more than thirty years. The time delays calculated with respect to a constant orbital period model show a clear parabolic trend, implying that the orbital period in this source constantly increases with time at a rate = 1.50(7) × 10-10 s/s. This is 3 orders of magnitude larger than what is expected from conservative mass transfer driven by magnetic braking and gravitational radiation. From the conservation of the angular momentum of the system we find that to explain the high and positive value of the orbital period derivative the mass transfer rate must not be less than 3 times the Eddington limit for a neutron star, suggesting that the mass transfer has to be partially non-conservative. With the hypothesis that the neutron star accretes at the Eddington limit we find a consistent solution in which at least 70% of the transferred mass has to be expelled from the system.

In an effort to use my cameras for something other than my art/craft projects, I will now post photos on Fridays.
Pour faire un effort et me servir de mes caméras pour autre chose que mes projets d'art/artisanat, j'afficherai maintenant des photos les vendredis.
The background had been done back in September. I added a photo of my Diesel and some journaling. Nothing fancy.
Le fond avait été fait en Sepptembre. J'ai ajouté une photo de ma Diesel et du texte. Rien d'extraordinaire.
> For a couple of weeks now, I've been struggling. Struggling with my art (my muse is playing hide and seek most days.) Struggling with my weight. Struggling with my thoughts and beliefs. Struggling with my choices.
Today, I give myself permission to accept that I am not perfect. And my imperfections make me who I am. I am imperfectly human.
Last thing: I'm planning a giveaway for Labour Day weekend which should be when I reach 200 posts.
> … with myself, that is! Ha ha! Got you going, huh?
A basket-type bag (been looking for one for a while… will be great to go to the market come summer time), 2 old books dated 1929 and 1931 and a pair of shoes (been looking for a pair like this and could never find the right ones… these are perfect!) And the big total was??? $17.55 including taxes. Not bad, huh? And I even used the bag to carry everything out so no plastic bag for me!
I left my new belongings in the car to go to Second Cup. It was quiet when I got there (a little after 8pm) so there was plenty of room to sit. I got a medium latte and something to eat that the girl called an apple pudding. It resembled a muffin but was heavier and not as sweet. Very tasty. While enjoying my latte and dessert, I doodled and scribbled in one of my journals that I had been neglecting. The coffee shop filled up just before I left so I guess I had good timing. It was fun and I'll definitely try the experience again but next time maybe I'll actually create something more than doodling… It's one of the things I want to work on this year: creating in public and not hiding myself.
Today's art is the Art Card I did last night. I used a piece of Bingo paper, a mini loteria card and part of a playing card. The rest is watercolour, oil pastels and ink, plus a label courtesy of Hanna.
Now, I'll leave you with a photo of my dear Diesel… This one just cracks me up! Goodnight!
> Here's a look at the journal I'm working in on a daily basis. As I said before, it was inspired by Emily Falconbridge's gratitude journal. I made it by picking 52 pieces of paper, cardstock, envelops and whatever else I had on hand. It's not too big (as you can see next to Diesel who wanted to model it for you!) I stamped the dates and left enough room to journal one or two sentences about what was new in the day. So far, I've written about a new perspective of life, new art and a new restaurant I tried.
I really like how it came out and will probably do more journals like this in the future. My take on it forces me to look for something that is new to each day, however big or small that "thing" may be. A way to focus on the positive.

Knowing that God wants us to be faithful and generous givers, we counsel, guide and direct our church in the management of finances. Our elders review and analyze monthly financial statements to direct the mission of our church, stewarding well the resources given to the church by our people.
Each year, an annual budget is presented to the church body for review, analysis, questions and approval. The operating budget is fundamental to our accountability, transparency and integrity.
God provides for the ministry of Grace through your tithes and offerings. We honor your gifts with faithful stewardship, ethical business practices, and full accountability so that the financial integrity of Grace remains beyond reproach.
If you're designating a donation to a specific mission, please use the pull-down "fund" to indicate where you'd like to direct your gift. But for general tithes and offerings, be sure that the "general" fund is selected.
How fast are checks processed?
After the giving on the weekend, we process the funds during that week.
Do I have to log in if I want to tithe the same amount each week or month?
No. You can easily create a reoccurring gift. Specify whether you want your contribution made one time, weekly, monthly, or every two weeks. You can set up as many schedules as you would like, so it is possible to give a monthly gift as well as a weekly one.
Will I receive a giving statement for tax purposes?
Yes. Your annual giving statement will be emailed (if giving online) or mailed (if giving during gatherings) to you every year.

This problem is what a point of sale software is for!
It is all too easy to take a product for whatever reason and market it, then keep handling it. The price, discounts and costs overtime go up and down and soon your shop is handling an item that has a very marginal margin and you do not know it as its hiding in thousands of products.
The other problem is that items with low-margins are almost always a waste of time and space, yet I have seen staff keep pushing these low-margin items.
This is a report that I suggest you run "Quantity On Hand and Price Check".
It will show you your margins and the quantities on hand so you can instantly start to plan. So it is a great place to start.
I suggest running this report regularly, as stock management requires continuous monitoring and management control.

Free Will in a Clockwork Orange
Free Will in a Clockwork Orange Essay
1543 Words May 5th, 2005 7 Pages
"The Importance of Moral Choice"
Choice and free will are necessary to maintain humanity, both individually and communally; without them, man is no longer human but a "clockwork orange", a mechanical toy, as demonstrated in Anthony Burgess' novel, "A Clockwork Orange". The choice between good and evil is a decision every man must make throughout his life in order to guide his actions and control his future. Forcing someone to be good is not as important as the act of someone choosing to be good. This element of choice, no matter what the outcome, displays man's power as an individual. "A Clockwork Orange" starts with Alex posing the question: "what's it going to be then, eh?". Burgess begins the story by demonstrating that Alex and his …show more content…
The government and the doctors are convinced that they are making Alex "sane" and "healthy". On the contrary, they are controlling his ability to have a choice in his actions. The doctors are attempting to eliminate Alex's moral choice, which is neither sane nor healthy. The doctors go even further when they discover Alex's love for classical music. Dr Branom says: "here is the punishment element, perhaps. The Governor ought to be pleased". They go beyond trying to reform Alex and continue to punish and torture him, for after this torment is complete hearing a beautiful piece of music makes Alex sick. Alex's reaction to music becomes violent and painful because of the government's manipulation and the side effects of the Ludovico Technique. Alex did not choose to have his free will and love for music taken away. After the procedure is complete, the prison Chaplin comments " he has no real choice , has he?...he ceases to be a wrongdoer. He ceases also to be a creature capable of moral choice". The government limits Alex's moral choice to only good which is truly the essence of evil for it interferes with the gift of free will given to humankind by god.
After Alex is released into society, he has a difficult time adjusting since his world has drastically changed. Alex is now forced to behave oppositely to what he desires. The doctors have forced him to be "good". After Dim and

Dissecting a Clockwork Orange Essay
"You men need to tuck away your penises and surrogate penises (guns), because you will never get anywhere with them. Masculinity is a myth and a dead end." - Stanley Kubrick Stanley Kubrick's 1971 classic A Clockwork Orange is an interesting beast.

To my surprise, A Clockwork Orange is a classic novel that has been widely acclaimed. In 1971, the novel was even translated into the film industry by Warner Brothers Company. The movie skyrocketed book sales throughout the world and thus the film adaptation cemented the book even further to the top of the acclaimed reading list. Anthony Burgess often…
Essay On The Surface Of A Clockwork Orange By Anthony Burgess
On the surface of A Clockwork Orange, a novel by Anthony Burgess, there appear to be two sides, a "good" side in the form of religion, and a "bad" side in the form of the State, a totalitarian government. However, there is not a clear juxtaposition between the two sides. Despite the fact that Catholicism is thought of as being an institution of the highest morals, and efforts are being made by the State to eradicate behaviors that are deemed detrimental to society, there are no noble institutions…

their future. This ability to choose, no matter what that choice may be or the outcome of that choice, displays a person's power as an individual. Any attempts to control or influence that choice will, in turn, govern one's free will and enslave them. In the novel A Clockwork Orange, the author Anthony Burgess uses symbolism through imagery, the characterization of Alex, and a first person narrative point of view to show that without the ability to choose between good or evil, one becomes a slave.…

Anthony Burgess in his novel A Clockwork Orange. In the book, the reader can identify one main theme; the importance of free will. The reader is taken through the book by 15-year-old Alex whom along with his friends are described engaging in activities such as rape, violence, and theft until he is subjected to a form of conditioning that "cures" him of this violent nature.

The bright yellow Just-for-the-Fair food truck caught our eye when we came out of the Scott Building and we went over to check it out. We were greeted by two very enthusiastic chef volunteers, Chris and Jeff. They were happy to share the concept of the ACF of NC project. But first they wanted us to meet the other volunteers, Ed, Karl and LJ, working on the truck this night. To our surprise Ed was our friend, Ed Sautro, owner of Amigosan who was donating the use of the Amigosan truck for the fair. While Jeff was taking orders and Karl and LJ were busy cooking them, Chris and Ed gave us the details of the project from the menu selection to the scholarship program. We ended our night at the Fair with a great meal of the BBQ Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Hush Puppies and Cajun Seared Catfish PoBoy with some Sweet Potato fries.
The ACF of NC Just-for-the-Fair Food Truck is located between the Midway and the Scott Building, along the easternmost side of the Fair, near Gate 11. Please stop by and enjoy some locally inspired food. S. Belle.
