Hello, haven't seen you for ages!
Hello, nice to see you too!
Who is this beautiful girl in the photo? I often see you together at the university.
This is my best friend. Her name is Olya. We study in the same group. Olya is one of the best students of our course and is respected both by the teachers and students.
She gives an impression of a smart person. Besides, she has a charming smile and beautiful eyes. What is she like?
She an open-hearted, sincere and active. It is she who can give a helping hand and find the right words in any situation. I think she takes after her mother in that. She has a very friendly family.
In a friendly family a person learns to respect and appreciate others.
That's true. All the members of her family, her parents and her brother are always ready to help and encourage each other. I like communicating with them.
I think, you are lucky to have such a friend, as Olya.
I am happy we are friends!
Глагол to have в английском языке используется в качестве самостоятельного, вспомогательного и модального глагола. Основные формы глагола: have — had — had.


Something I get asked about a lot is wardrobe for engagement sessions. I am pretty sure everyone has a different take on what you should wear/how you should look but here are some of my thoughts on the subject.
First: Coordinate, don't match. We are so past the days of jeans and a white tee on the beach! You wouldn't go out to dinner in matching outfits, why take photos in them?
Second: Be comfortable! Marilyn and Michael both dress fairly nice in their everyday lives so wearing heels and a dress for her and a sport coat for him worked. But if you aren't usually one to sport the 4 inch heels and he feels stiff in a tie, I'd say skip the "fancy" look and go with something that you feel yourself in. Your man can look just as nice in great jeans and a polo as he would in a full suit.
Third: Pattern and texture are great!! When choosing a pattern remember that the tiny polkadot dress may not show up as well in photographs as a larger print would, but also don't go too crazy when mixing your patterns as a couple. Marilyn's bold floral print popped and Michael's striped shirt was a great subtle accent.
If you are choosing to wear solids, think about texture of your fabrics. Marilyn's navy lace dress looked amazing in photos and the fabric of Michael's jacket was just enough to accent! You can also layer solid colors to create a good texture, throw on a sweater or a scarf over your top. If you get tired of it or want to change the look it's an easy change!
Lastly: Dress for your season but stay classic. Remember that engagement photos are a great time to get photos of you and your fiancé being yourselves that you can have forever. Just because it is winter doesn't mean you need to be in huge puffy coats, earmuffs, scarves, furry boots and the whole shebang holding coffee mugs in a pile of fake snow. There is no need to be in costume to have your photo taken! Remember, be yourselves and be comfortable!


It took a while to sink in (apparently about the length of time it takes to clean a bathroom), but I just now understand the main point of your 'Gaussian Anthropology' synthesis. What you say is true, there is a very strong correlation between theoretical perspectives and statistical models. The 'traditional' perspective as you call it (we call it 'processual' e.g., cultural ecology, marxism etc..), is based on a 'normative' view of culture -- that is the view that within any cultural tradition/system there are 'normal' ways of doing things, that the majority of the participants are consciously or unconsciously influenced/controlled by and drawn to. Whereas more recent ('post-processual' [read 'post-modern']; e.g., agency, critical theory, post structuralism) theoretical perspectives challenge that notion and propose that 'norms' don't really exist. This is analogous and perhaps related to the rejection of the Gaussian distribution (commonly called the 'normal distribution') as a mathematical model of behaviour.
This is really clever. I teach courses in quantitative methods and theory and yet have never really noticed this connection.

Q: Painfully long building times with Browserify-rails/Vueify I've been experiencing this issue for weeks and I didn't find any information on this anywhere. I am using browserify-rails with vueify, and I got painfully long building times as soon as I change anything in my code, be it a semi-colon or an entire component.
Building times, depending on I don't know what, can take up to 5 minutes (I am not joking). These are the logs I get on my local rails server when building my project. I can get between 5 and 25 of those during a building time.
Browserify: /Users/maxime/Documents/Kimoby/kimoby-rails/node_modules/.bin/browserifyinc -t vueify -t [ babelify --presets [ react es2015 ] ] --cachefile=\"/Users/maxime/Documents/Kimoby/kimoby-rails/tmp/cache/browserify-rails/browserifyinc-cache.json\" -o "/Users/maxime/Documents/Kimoby/kimoby-rails/tmp/cache/browserify-rails/output20160426-652-otln6f" -

What is going on? This is becoming an extremely annoying problem and slowing me on the project advancement.
Thank you!

Tharpaland International Retreat Centre (TIRC) is the main international retreat centre and residential centre for the educational programmes in Scotland of a major worldwide Buddhist tradition (see Tharpaland, 2003a and 2003c). It is located within the beautiful and isolated setting of the Forest of Ae, in Dumfries and Galloway.
As Buddhists, we cherish the natural environment and all who live in it, and are committed to the development of clean and sustainable forms of energy and are therefore not opposed in principle to the development of windfarms.
However, in March 2003, following news of a proposal to build a massive windfarm in the Forest of Ae, Tharpaland set about assessing the wider implications this would have on the Centre's ability to provide suitable conditions for meditative retreat, if the windfarm was approved. To this end, Tharpaland decided to study the possible impact a windfarm might have on meditative retreaters, in particular. Studies were then carried out at 3 Scottish windfarms – Hagshaw Hill, Beinn An Tuirc and Deucheran.
The findings of these studies (see 'Effects of Windfarms on Meditative Retreaters – A Human Impact Assessment' Tharpaland, 2003b), were so surprisingly negative and adverse that there was little room for doubt that the proposed windfarm, if approved, would force Tharpaland to close. However, although originally concerned with the impact that the proposed windfarm would have on just Tharpaland, it became increasingly apparent that the results of the studies could have potentially serious implications for the health of the Scottish population as a whole. Therefore, a follow-up analysis of the data was also carried out to explore this further (see 'An Assessment of Infrasound and Other Possible Causes of the Adverse Effects of Windfarms' Tharpaland, 2004).


Quality is good! Size in size, i 44-46 took m approached. Delivery is fast, given that i ordered in mid-december right before the holidays received on january 4! Thank you very much to the store!!!
Quality is good, fit for 46 size. Delivery two weeks, tracked all the way.
It is overall really nice, however the top bunches weirdly in the middle, its not too loose or too tight the fabric just bunches. That said, i would still recommend.

Overwatch 2 Update Announced for BlizzCon Online In February
Here's when we'll see Overwatch 2 again.
Posted: 17 Dec 2020 12:53 am
If you're eagerly anticipating Overwatch 2 you're only going to have to wait a few more months as Overwatch director Jeff Kaplan confirmed an Overwatch 2 update is scheduled for BlizzCon Online in February.
In a quick, new developer update Kaplan confirmed that Overwatch fans will learn more about the upcoming sequel at BlizzCon Online which takes place on February 19th-20th. The two-day event is an all-digital replacement for the company's annual BlizzCon, which is typically a live fan event in Anaheim, California.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Blizzard announced that it will skip its physical event in 2020, and host an all-digital alternative in 2021. Other conventions such as GDC and PAX also moved online this year as a result of the pandemic.
Overwatch 2 is a sequel to Blizzard's competitive PvP shooter that will expand the lore and universe with a story-focused PvE mode. There will also be new competitive maps, modes, and heroes, but these additions will also be coming to the first Overwatch for free.
The rest of Kaplan's developer update is focused on a new free-for-all deathmatch map called Kanezaka. Based on a Japanese location, Kanezaka is a free map currently available for testing on the PTR. Overwatch's Winter Wonderland 2020 event is also ongoing and will last until January 5.
Read IGN's Overwatch 2 hands-on preview here.
Overwatch 2 is the globe-spanning sequel to Blizzard Entertainment's acclaimed team-based game, building upon the original's battle-honed foundation and carrying forward everything players have earned into a new era of epic competition and team play.
Genres:Shooter
Platforms:Nintendo Switch, PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4
Developers:Blizzard Entertainment
Publishers:Activision Blizzard
Features:Online Versus Multiplayer

Sign up for multiple membership terms at the same time.
Sign up for more than one membership in a single transaction (e.g. National and local memberships).
Select non-membership options such as information booklets when they sign up for a membership.
The Donwell Swim Club price set consists of five price fields: National Association Fees, Annual Club membership, Club Gear, raffle tickets and donation.
You must also have defined all the financial types you will need before you can create the price set.
Membership price sets can be used in online join up or renewal pages or for new member sign ups processed manually through the CiviCRM back office system. However, they cannot be used for renewals that are processed manually. Each membership must be renewed individually (see the Renewals chapter) and in addition you may need to create a contribution price set consisting of the non-membership items you offer. Also, you cannot combine memberships that can be auto-renewed with memberships that do not offer auto-renewal or with non-membership items.
Price sets can be configured in many ways and you should always test a price set thoroughly before using it on your live site to make sure that you have configured it in the way that fits your situation best.
Navigate to Memberships > New Price Set or Administer > CiviMember > New Price Set.
Enter the price set name. This name will be displayed both to the public as part of the price set and to admin staff when they need to choose between price sets, so make sure it is descriptive enough for both purposes.
Set the Default Financial Type. The choice you make has accounting implications and you should refer to the Contributions section for more information.
Add pre- or post-form help text if you want to.
Make sure the price set is active and Save.
You will be taken to a form to create the first price field for your price set.
Enter a name in the Field Label. This name will be displayed to the public.
Text/Numeric Quantity: allows you to set a unit Price. When the price set is displayed it shows a text box where a quantity can be entered. The quantity entered is multiplied by the unit price to calculate the amount.
Select: displays a dropdown box where one option can be selected.
Radio: displays multiple options in a list; up to one option can be selected.
Checkbox: displays multiple options in a list; multiple selections are allowed.
Each of the input types will be used in an example in this chapter.
Financial Type will be set to the Default Financial Type chosen when this price set was created. You can override this value if required.
Display Amount? displays the price of the option next to the label. If your field label includes the option price then this can be unticked. Otherwise it should stay ticked.
Order, Field Help, Required and Active are either self-explanatory or have adequate help provided on the form.
Active On and Expire On can be set so that the price field is not visible until the Active On date, not visible after the Expire On date or is only visible between the Active On and Expire On dates. For example you could use these fields to bring in a price rise at 12:00am on 1 January 2019 by setting the price field with the old prices to Expire On 1/12/2019 12:00am and the price field with the new prices to be Active On 1/12/2019 12:00am.
Visibility can be set to Public (visible on your website to those who can see the membership sign up page) or Admin (visible only through the back end and then only to users with appropriate permissions).
The configuration for the National Membership price field illustrates how you can allow contacts to sign up for multiple membership terms at the same time and shows the Radio input field type.
In the Membership Type field you select the option you want from a dropdown list of all the membership types you have configured. When you select a specific membership type the Number of terms auto-fills with 1 and the Label, Amount and Financial Type are auto-filled based on the definition of that membership type. All those values can be changed as needed. The National Association Fees membership type has a duration of 1 year with a minimum fee of $100. Setting the number of terms to 2 will give 2 years of membership. The Label will need to be changed if you have more than one option as each option must have a different Label. The Amount can be can be increased to any value you want. This lets you offer a concession and standard fee for for the same number of terms.
As we have not included the price of each option in its Label we would need to have Display Amount? ticked.
Defining a price field in this way will reduce the number of membership types you need to create. You only need a 1 year National Association membership type with a minimum fee of $100 for this price field instead of three membership types. However you need to be aware that your members will not be able to auto-renew if you use this type of multi-term configuration.
In addition to the National Association Fees, contacts are required to sign up for a membership with the swim club. The Select input field type has been chosen for this field.
Again, when you select a specific membership type from the drop down list the Number of terms auto-fills with 1 and the Label, Amount and Financial Type are auto-filled based on the definition of that membership type. You can change any of these values as desired.
The combination of the two price fields described so far will let someone sign up for a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 2 memberships. Remember the two memberships will need to be linked to two different organisations as a contact can only have one active membership with a specific organisation. See Defining Memberships for more information.
You can also configure price set fields to offer additional services, subscriptions or other non-membership options.
There are three non-membership price fields in our example. The first offers a selection of club branded swimming gear. The checkbox field type lets people choose more than one item from the options offered.
As these are products rather than memberships the Membership Type and Number of Terms fields are left empty. You set the Label, Amount and Financial Type for each option.
If you look back at the screen shots of the three price fields discussed so far you should notice that they all contain the same fields even though they are for three different input field types. Radio and Select input types are interchangeable, both allow you to choose just one option and can be used for membership or non-membership options. Checkboxes must be used if your contacts are allowed to choose more than one option from a single price field. They also can be used for either membership or non-membership options.
The fourth input field type is Text/Numeric Quantity and it can only be used for non-membership options. With this field type you usually include the unit price of the item on offer in the field label as shown in the following example or in the field help. This means that Display Amount? should not be ticked.
This price field will only be visible between the Active On and Expire On dates and lets us make sure that the raffle tickets can only be purchased during the selling period authorised by the relevant licensing authority.
The final price field is configured to allow people to give a donation. Notice that the unit price is 1 and it is not included in in the field label although the currency symbol is. The Display Amount? is not ticked. This is the best configuration to allow "any amount" donations.

Gas cleaners are used for Hydrogen Sulphide removal from Natural gas/ Biogas.
Hydrogen Sulphide is present in numerous gaseous waste streams from natural gas plants, oil refineries, and waste water treatment plants among other processes. If the H2S content is very high, IETL offers its biochemical gas cleaners–the Bioskrubber™ system followed by an Adsorbent Based System. However many gases have very low ppm levels of H2S which need to be removed. In such cases, only Adsorbent Based Systems (Gas cleaners) can be provided. A water-spray system to saturate the inlet gas may be required.
In Hydrogen Sulphide removal from natural gas/ biogas processproduct consumption is dependent only on the amount of hydrogen sulphide passing through the bed.
It matches the need for H2S removal with variations in system flow conditions and outlet specifications, irrespective to the total volume of other components of the gas.
Adsorbent based Gas Cleanerscan be employed where Requirement for H2S content in the Clean Gas is very less i.e. H2S content in the Clean Gas is required to be less than 1 ppm.
The Adsorbents use in system for hydrogen sulphide removal from natural gas, prevent foaming or carryover and are predictable and reliable under a wide range of conditions.


By contrast, if individual prices are subject to commercial rounding or a general rounding up, minimal one-off increases in the price level can be expected. The ntroduction of a rounding rule for 1 and 2 euro cent coins results in no significant savings for the retail sector.
risen much less sharply than roll prices, as the latter account for just 10 % to 20 % of total costs.

IT was a case of lucky 13 for Senior Division basement boys Woodley Town as they stormed to their first win of the season.
Town, who have been showing real signs of improvement in recent weeks, dominated their clash with fellow strugglers West Reading.
And the three-goal margin of victory was no more than they deserved as they restricted Wests to hopeful long-range efforts.
Town were promoted from the Premier Division last term and their younger players are now finding their feet at this level. And while this was an excellent team performance, 19-year-old John Donegan continued his recent fine form with a goal while 20-year-old Craig Hiscock dominated the midfield.
With last season's leading marksman Graham Gomez lively up front, Town were creating plenty of opportunities.
And it was no surprise when they took the lead from a Gomez corner.
Dave Wright put Wests' keeper, former Town ace Carl Howell, under pressure, allowing Hiscock an unchallenged header to score and put Woodley in front at half time.
It was Gomez again who had a hand in the second goal.
His second-half run at the defence was followed by a clever chip that found Donegan and he made no mistake to extend Town's lead.
The scoring was completed when Hiscock again headed home unmarked from a corner, this one taken by Simon Gay.
The challenge is now for the team to continue this three game unbeaten run and preserve Senior Division status.
On current form and confidence, this can be achieved.
But Wests are also in desperate need of a change in fortunes following their worst display of the season.
After a promising pre-season, they have suffered a disappointing campaign so far, and they will now be looking to new manager Tony Page-Smith to halt the slide.
Page-Smith was at the match on Saturday — but he faces a big test if he is to lift morale and get Wests out of trouble.

Don't have a Vita? The new PS Vita Slim is coming to stores in Australia and is available online in other regions!
If you don't have a Playstation Vita, this is the time to get one. With Australia now getting the new PS Vita Slim on June 4th, this less expensive version of the Vita is highly accessible worldwide. If you're in Australia like me, you can pre-order a PS Vita from EB Games and JB Hi-Fi. Notably, JB Hi-Fi so far seems to have the best deal at $259 and including Borderlands 2 for Vita. EB Games is offering the new PS Vita at $269. To put this price in perspective, my original-non-slim PS Vita was $299 from EB Games without any games or a memory card.
(Also interestingly, the new Hyperdimension Neptunia: Producing Perfection idol-simulation Vita game is due the day after....It's taking everything I have not to call it a 'launch game for the new Vita in Australia. (It's not.))
The new PS Vita includes a 20% thinner and 15% lighter console, 1GB of hard drive space (with memory cards still being sold separately) and a longer battery life due to this version of the Vita having an LED screen instead of the original PS Vita's O-LED screen.
If you don't have a Vita and you're a JRPG fan, you're missing out. Many times the Vita has been called the 'JRPG machine' and it has a wonderful range of games physical and in the Playstation Network. I personally love my O-LED screen's neon brightness dearly, so I won't be 'upgrading' to the new one but I would love to get one of the Japanese coloured PS Vita's eventually so I could have a second Vita to use the Japanese Playstation Network (you can only have on PSN account partnered with a Vita).
If you're not in Australia, you can purchase the PS Vita Slim from Amazon and from Play-Asia right now. The PS Vita is region free, so if you're thinking of importing a shiny pretty coloured one from Japan, this IGN guide covers the 'Importing A Vita' process very well (it's from when the vita first came out, but the same principles apply). Please remember before importing: even though the Vita is region free and physical games from multiple regions will work on any PS Vita, you can only use one PSN account/region per console and the DLC for the games ARE locked by region.

Mean Girls is Coming to Broadway in April 2018
September 8, 2017 Emily Clark Leave a Comment
Although we sadly haven't received a Mean Girls sequel yet. Well, not counting the atrocious so-called "sequel" Mean Girls 2, which was nothing but a low-budget wannabe of the original film.

Anyway, the writers of the original Mean Girls have announced that the Broadway adaption of the popular chick flick will open in April 2018, and people are way beyond excited for this musical bitch-fest, and so are we! Wo0hoo!

The official date and previews were revealed on Twitter, with a video of Tina Fey announcing the exciting news.
How exciting is Tina Fey's big announcement? The limit does not exist. 💯 Learn more: https://t.co/IwCKTDXJuI pic.twitter.com/i8Euk2FdwH
Mean Girls The Musical is one of the most anticipated upcoming Broadway shows, alongside musical versions of Frozen and Spongebob Squarepants. Yes, really… Spongebob… (face palm)
When the musical was still in the making, Tina spoke about the cast on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon back in May, praising their talent and their hard work for the Broadway show.
"These kids are so talented, we have the cast now and have been rehearsing for a month. They're like a bunch of baby Timberlakes, these kids can do everything."
The much loved and well known film is considered to have a cult following, as well as many of the phrases becoming iconic among teens and young adults. The famous quotes are definitely one of the greatest factors in Mean Girls, hence why even after 13 years, it's still so loved by many.

Like this one: "Ex-boyfriends are off-limits to friends. That's just, like, the rules of feminism". Of course, the rules of feminism have changed a lot since 2004. Back then, things were seemingly a lot more clear and drastically different back then than they are today.
Anyway, back to Mean Girls and Lorne Michaels from Saturday Night Live is producing the show, whilst Casey Nicholaw is directing the musical's Aladdin and The Book of Mormon. They are both hoping to capture that same magic from the film into a musical.
Lorne talked to The New York Times about the musical, saying: "There are lots of things you can do better in a musical… the characters are fuller."

Although the musical adaption will be updated with more modern references (expect a "hashtag" in there somewhere), it will follow the same plot as the movie.
Just in case you haven't seen the film (in which case you're probably living under a rock), the story follows 16-year-old Cady Heron, who returns to the US after living abroad in South Africa and being homeschooled all her life, she is forced into the harsh life of public high school in America, with its varying levels of drama, clique bitchy groups, nice teachers and weird ones, all of whom are stereotypical in an all American High School experience.
The cast will include Kerry Butler, who has appeared on Broadway in Hairspray and Little Shop of Horrors, as well as Erika Henningsen, who is known for her role as Fantine in Les Miserables.
Mean Girls the Musical will be playing in the August Wilson Theatre in New York, with previews beginning on March 12th, 2018 and the official opening night on April 8th, 2018. Sadly, no news of whether this musical will come to the UK (can't leave out the UK fans), but we certainly hope it does, because that would be so fetch.

Canopy Commentary - Bear Market
Eric Raether, CFP®
In U.S. stock market history, bear markets—defined as a drop of 20% or more for a broad market index—happen roughly every four years and eight months. With a couple of recent down days in the markets, we may be in the early stages of a new one.
Or we may not—and that, of course is the problem. It is very easy to see these market downdrafts in retrospect, but impossible to know when one is occurring, or to predict them in advance. Nor can we know how far down they'll take us or when the recovery will begin.
Some of the longest declines were triggered by major geopolitical events—such as the attack on Pearl Harbor that pulled the U.S. military into World War II (a 308-day downturn, nearly a year), and Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990 (108 days). The terrorist attacks of 2001 and the North Korean missile crisis of 2017 also triggered market declines. In 2008, the collapse of Wall Street speculation nearly brought down the entire global economy. More recently, in 2020, the emergence of a major global pandemic caused a rapid decline which was, as most of us remember, followed by a precipitous rise in market values that has continued through the end of last year.
Figure1. History of U.S. Bear & Bull Markets. By First Trust Advisors L.P., Bloomberg. Daily returns from 4/29/1942 - 12/31/2021.
At the moment, it's not easy to see a major catastrophic trigger that would cause investors to race for the exits, but there have been other bear markets where a bull market simply ran out of steam—a recent example is the bursting of the dot-com bubble in 2000. The hardest-hit investors in that period were all crowded into the latest craze—tech stocks—and the tech-heavy Nasdaq index didn't recover its former value until 2015. The lesson there was not trying to time the market but to maintain the discipline of diversification despite the temptations of rising valuations.
Which brings us back to the possibility that we're entering a bear market today. Taking another look at history, since 1929, the average duration of these 20%+ downturns is 21 months—and it is just as impossible to predict these durations as it is to predict the downturns to begin with. The Covid-related downturn in 2020 is a terrific example of how unpredictable the recovery can be. The pandemic news didn't change from February to April 2020, but the markets recovered anyway, and were not discouraged through the ensuing political drama, the Delta and Omicron variants, and the highest inflation rate in decades.
The most important historical fact is that every bear market in U.S. history has been followed by new highs. Since 1950, 53.8% of the trading days were up, and 46.2% were down. Most importantly, the magnitude of the positive days has far exceeded the magnitude of the downdrafts. Successful long-term investors view these declines as opportunities to rebalance back to stocks, or to add cash to their portfolio and buy equities at a discount.

A proposal to explore mediation regarding the $17 million YTK dispute was placed in front of the Port Authority's board of directors on Tuesday.
Guam Attorney General Elizabeth Barrett-Anderson comments on the arbitration case between the Port Authority of Guam and the Guam YTK Corporation.
A proposal to explore mediation regarding the YTK dispute was placed in front of the Port Authority board on Tuesday by newly appointed Port General Manager Rory Respicio.
The board of directors tabled the decision for a future meeting.
Respicio said he approached YTK Corp.'s co-owner Eduardo "Champ" Calvo informally to determine if there were options to settle the $17 million dollar dispute. There is no formal offer on the table.
Respicio has done consulting work for Calvo's SelectCare. Respicio stated he has never worked for YTK Corp. or directly for Eduardo "Champ" Calvo, therefore there is no conflict of interest.
"It's my duty to potentially mitigate this $17 million fee," Respicio said. "A $17 million judgment would increase tariffs, and that would cause all other costs to go up."
Board members expressed frustration at Respicio's actions, stating that they should have been consulted prior to his conversation with YTK Corp.
"We the board should know in advance that this is happening," said board member Maria Taitano. "We already have a decision made to go through the legal process."
Board members did not express opinions for or against the possibility of mediation, and decided to reconvene at a later time to discuss the matter.
Ken Leon-Guerrero, spokesperson for Guam Citizens for Public Accountability, urged the board during public comment to not consider a mediation deal.
"This is a contentious issue in the community. We're talking about millions of taxpayer dollars that are going to be raised by increasing fees if a settlement is reached on this, it's going to be a cost increase that will last for decades," Leon Guerrero said. "The port should win this case. The efforts and millions of dollars put into this case need to bear fruit first before talking about settlement."
He urged the board to proceed with the current litigation process instead, confident that the port will not be subject to the arbitration award.
"Are we 100 percent sure we're going to win the case? No. Are we 100 percent sure we're going to lose the case? No," he said. "But the reality is that we're the ones spending money by litigating these cases. Is there a possibility of settlement?"
Guam YTK in 2016 was awarded $14 million by an arbitration panel because of its dispute with the Port over YTK's 2001 lease of Hotel Wharf. The lease required YTK to develop a $13.5 million fishing facility at the site, but the Port Authority canceled the lease after the project failed to materialize and YTK failed to make lease payments.
The Port Authority of Guam filed an appeal over the $14 million arbitration award in June 2017. The decision now rests with Supreme Court of Guam justices. The arbitration award has since grown to $17 million.

FINANCIAL WATCH reported the Osun state governorship election petition tribunal declared Ademola Adeleke as winner of the 2018 governorship election in Osun state.
At its sitting in Abuja on Friday, it held that the rerun election conducted in the state after the initial poll was illegal.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had announced Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as winner of the September election.
But the PDP and Adeleke filed a petition at the tribunal, challenging Oyetola's victory.
A three-man panel of the tribunal led by Ibrahim Sirajo, held that Oyetola was not validly returned as the winner of the election.
The PDP presidential candidate is also hopeful of victory at the presidential election tribunal in his suit challenging the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressive Congress (APC).

Q: Equivalent of `grep -o` for findstr command in Windows In Unix, the command grep -o prints out only the matched string. This is very helpful when you are searching for a pattern using regular expression and only interested in what matched exactly and not the entire line.
However, I'm not able to find something similar for the Windows command findstr. Is there any substitute for printing only matched string in windows?
For example:
grep -o "10\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+" myfile.txt

The above command prints only the IP address in myfile.txt of the form 10.*.*.* but not the entire lines which contain such IP adresses.

A: PowerShell:
select-string '10\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+' myfile.txt | foreach-object {
   $_.Matches[0].Groups[0].Value
}

A: Just use your familiar grep and other great Linux commands by downloading this UnxUtils  (ready .exe binaries). Add it to your PATH environment variable for convenience


South Korean leader Lee Myung-Bak has urged the country's officials to 'stand well prepared' for a third nuclear test by North Korea, according to Yonhap news agency. The test is believed to take place before Lunar New Year starts on February 10.
The calls followed the South Korean President's meeting with his top security advisers, who reportedly passed him information, which could indicate North Korean preparations for another nuclear test.
Recent satellite photos showed unusually busy activity at the north-eastern nuclear test facility Punggye-ri, which is the country's only atomic test site, South Korea said. North Korea has allegedly covered the entrance to a tunnel there in an apparent attempt to block satellite monitoring.
The North has meanwhile installed two lookout towers equipped with surveillance cameras, Seoul also says. Both 60-meter-tall installations are designed to monitor the activities of the South Korean army in the demilitarized zone, which divides the two countries.
Seoul's chief nuclear envoy Lim Sung-Nam left for Beijing on Sunday to meet his Chinese colleague as part of last-minute diplomatic efforts to dissuade Pyongyang from another atomic test.
"We will assess the actions of the North after the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution No. 2087 (2013) and discuss our response", Lim Sung-Nam declared before leaving.
Over the past week Pyongyang has issued a series of daily warnings threatening action over the UN sanctions imposed for a long-range rocket launch last December. North Korea has pledged the "toughest retaliation" if these are not lifted.
The North also slammed the upcoming joint naval drill by the US and its ally South Korea as "war exercises" aimed at invading the isolated state. The military exercises, widely considered by observers as a warning to the country, are due to start on February 4 in the Sea of Japan (East Sea) off the South Korean port city of Pohang. A US nuclear-powered submarine and other warships are expected to take part.

Mural honoring Eddie Van Halen to be unveiled in Hollywood
DCTCRS January 26, 2021 2 min read
Happy birthday, Eddie Van Halen.
On Tuesday — which would have been the late rock star's 66th birthday — a colorful mural of the guitarist is set to be unveiled outside Guitar Center's flagship store in Hollywood. Painted by Los Angeles artist Robert Vargas, the 17-by-105-foot portrait depicts the musician shredding his signature "Frankenstrat" guitar.
Van Halen died in October at age 65 after battling throat cancer.
"Eddie was one of my creative heroes," Vargas said in a statement. "When I was young, the debut Van Halen record was the first album I ever owned. He influenced me over the years in so many different ways.
"As soon as the news hit of his passing, I knew I had to do something creative to memorialize him, and Guitar Center was the obvious venue. Right here on the Sunset Strip, where the band made their bones — I can't think of a better place for this tribute to him, and I thank Guitar Center for giving me the canvas to share it with the world."
Located on Sunset Boulevard, Guitar Center's Hollywood location already boasts multiple tributes to the "Runnin' With the Devil" hitmaker, including instrumental memorabilia and Van Halen's handprints, the latter of which are featured prominently outdoors on the store's star-studded RockWalk. The building also bears a mural of another guitar god, Jimi Hendrix.
In recent months, California and its City of Angels have seen a number of murals go up in honor of fallen entertainment heroes, including screen icon Chadwick Boseman and Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant, who died with his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, in a helicopter accident exactly one year ago.
Upon his death last year, a slew of rockers saluted the Van Halen co-founder on social media. Heartfelt tributes poured in from Van Halen lead vocalist Sammy Hagar, Kiss musicians and singer-songwriter Billy Idol, as well as Van Halen's son, bassist Wolf Van Halen, and ex-wife, actress Valerie Bertinelli.
"Happy 66th Birthday, Pop," Wolf Van Halen wrote Tuesday on Instagram. "I wish I could give you the biggest hug and celebrate it with you. I love and miss you so much it hurts. I don't even know how to put it into words. I'm doing my best to hold it together, but goddammit it's really tough being here without you."
Van Halen fans are encouraged to visit Guitar Center's Instagram and YouTube pages for a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the mural, which was scheduled to be completed and signed by Vargas at 1 p.m. today.

After Detroit bankruptcy filing, city retirees on edge as they face pension cuts
Detroit by the numbers
On July 18, Detroit became the biggest U.S. city to file for bankruptcy, with an estimated $19 billion in debt. Here's a look at some staggering facts about Motor City's population, unemployment rate and more. The data come from a June report called "Proposals for Creditors."

DETROIT — The battle over the future of Detroit is set to begin this week in federal court, where government leaders will square off against retirees in a colossal debate over what the city owes to a prior generation of residents as it tries to rebuild for the next.
Soon after Detroit emergency manager Kevyn D. Orr and Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder (R) approved a bankruptcy filing Thursday, groups representing the 20,000 retirees reliant on city pensions successfully petitioned a county court to effectively freeze the bankruptcy process.
Now, city and state officials, who say the court ruling will not affect their plans, are asking a federal judge to hold hearings early this week to validate the bankruptcy and move forward with a strategy for Detroit to discharge much of its estimated $19 billion debt.
Orr has promised that retired city workers, police officers and firefighters will not see pensions or health benefits reduced for at least six months. But on Sunday, he said those retirement benefits will have to be cut down the road.
"There are going to be some adjustments," Orr said on "Fox News Sunday." ". . . We don't have a choice."
"This is a question of necessity," he added.
But the prospect of cuts has sent a deep wave of fear over Detroit's retirees, who like many in the city are skeptical of Orr, a corporate lawyer who previously worked in the District, and Snyder, a Republican unpopular in this deeply Democratic city.
"It's been a nightmare for all of us," said Shirley Lightsey, president of the Detroit Retired City Employees Association. "We don't have that many people with pensions big enough for anything to be taken away from them."
Of Detroit's overall debt, about half — $9.2 billion — represents pension and health benefits that the city has promised retirees but that it now says it does not have enough money to fully pay. The lion's share of the remaining debt is owed to bondholders.
Orr has discussed a range of steps the city could take to pay off its debts, and some have speculated that they could include selling Detroit's international airport and valuable collections from the Detroit Institute of Arts. For current workers, he has proposed stopping pension contributions and shifting employees to individual retirement savings accounts.
But no part of the bankruptcy process is stirring as many passions as the potential need to slice pensions and benefits for retirees. Small cities that have filed for bankruptcy protection in recent years have significantly cut retirees' benefits.
Harry Harper, who lives in northeast Detroit and retired in 2003 from the city's Water and Sewerage Department after 30 years of service, said talk of benefit cuts is making him very anxious.

The decline of Detroit.
"I feel very vulnerable. I don't feel we have any protection," said Harper, 61, who receives $2,100 a month in pension payments. "I thought that at 30 years, you earned a pension that was accrued and you did not have to have a concern about that."
Retirees such as Harper say that living in Detroit on a fixed pension is tough since public transit has been cut back and fuel prices have been going up. Michigan's gasoline prices are among the highest in the country.
"I'm currently living check to check," Harper said. "Every time I get in my car, the first stop I'm making is at a gas station because of my cash flow."
Jeanette Fitz, who retired after 35 years working in accounting for the city government, said she fears that a cut to her pension or medical coverage will be devastating.
Fitz said that she pays more than $100 a month for a half-dozen medications and that much of what remains from her pension payments goes toward her housing and other necessities.
"If they cut it, I'm not going to be able to pay my rent," she said. "I'm not going to have money. I'm going to be homeless. I'm going to be living out of my car, I guess."
On Sunday, Orr and Snyder said that they empathize with the fears of retirees but added that the city had ignored its problems for too long and that now there is no choice but to limit pension payments.
"You get honest about it to start with," Snyder said on NBC's "Meet the Press." ". . . In many cases for the last 60 years, people have ignored the realities of the situation. We're being real now."
Detroit Mayor Dave Bing said on ABC's "This Week With George Stephanopoulos" that one option not on the table is a federal bailout. "I think it's very difficult right now to ask directly for support," he said.
Technically, the dispute between the retirees and government leaders is about math — how to calculate how much of the pension system is not properly funded. But that is an unsettled area of accounting, and both sides are able to marshal expertise in their favor.
More fundamentally, though, the question facing Detroit is how much of its remaining financial resources it will use to repay bondholders who will be needed to lend money to the city in the future, to invest in the city's basic services and to hold fast to promises made to retirees.
"Ultimately, it's going to come down to a finite ability to pay," said Brian O'Keefe, a lawyer who represents retired city workers, police officers and firefighters. "We just simply believe that we must honor our obligation to pensioners who spent their entire lives working for the city."
Detroit's financial and demographic decline will make that difficult, some experts note. The dramatic population slide the city has experienced over the past decade has hit municipal government hard.
In 2004, for instance, there was an even ratio of city workers to pensioners, but now there are six retirees for every four workers, according to a recent report by Orr.
Orr also has cast significant doubt on the calculations the pension systems have used to determine whether they have enough funding to meet obligations, noting that individuals involved in the pension system have recently faced criminal charges.

Erdoğan files lawsuit against CHP group deputy Özel over insult
ISTANBUL Dec 21, 2020 - 2:50 pm GMT+3

by DAILY SABAH Dec 21, 2020 2:50 pm
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Monday filed a lawsuit against the main opposition Republican People's Party's (CHP) group deputy, Özgür Özel, who called the president a "mere parody of dictator" during a Parliament speech last week.
Erdoğan sued Özel for non-pecuniary damages of TL 250,000 ($32,540) on the grounds that he insulted him.
The petition prepared by Erdoğan's attorneys stated that: "As it is known, an extensive campaign led by FETÖ (Gülenist Terror Group) to create a perception of 'dictator' about Mr. President was launched both within the country and abroad during the time period before the July 15 coup attempt. The defendant and the party that he is a member of adopted this campaign and spent intensive efforts to create the perception of 'dictator' about Mr. President."
The terrorist group, led by Fetullah Gülen who currently resides in Saylorsburg, Pennsylvania, in the U.S., orchestrated the 2016 coup attempt through its military infiltrators. It has faced heightened scrutiny since then. Thousands of people linked to the group were detained or arrested following the coup attempt.

Where Do Mac Pros Ship From ?
Discussion in 'Buying Tips and Advice' started by PLan2008, Apr 19, 2008.
I'm in the UK and have purchased a built to order Mac Pro from the UK online Apple store. Which country will the Mac Pro be sent from (shipped today!) ?
Well slightly different but my dads iMac shipped from czech republic. They may have a factory out there where they ship all the customised orders from. In any case you should be able to check out the tracking number anyhow and see where it has been dispatched from.
You will find that it takes a few days to configure it then it is dispatched and I found that after a day mine had landed in germany then in 2 days on my doorstep!
Hope I have been of some use!
I'm really surprised how fast everything has happened. Placed my custom order yesterday morning, shipped today ! Just wondering whether it was coming from anywhere close like Ireland (Monday delivery ?) . There's just an "In Transit" comment on my tracking page at the moment.
Pretty sure mines Irish, at least thats where they used to come from for sure.
Mine came within about 20 hours, so I suspect the UK someplace.
Just managed to get tracking to work and it seems to be coming from Ireland. The tracking site didn't give any details when I used FireFox or Safari on my Mac, only when I switched to my PC and tried IE were results displayed (kind of ironic that the shipper of Macs doesn't support the Safari browser ).
Ok, the tracking via this web site does not work with Safari.
So use the Opera Browser or the internet explorer.
Then you will see where your things are.
Hope this helps someone else avoid the frustration of not being able to track your shipment.

IU Health eliminates sugary drinks from hospitals
by: rebachenowethfox59
Posted: May 20, 2013 / 10:14 PM EDT
Updated: May 21, 2013 / 08:49 AM EDT
IU Health is taking the fight against obesity into its own hospital cafeterias and vending machines.
You can no longer find regular cola, sweet tea or lemonade at hospitals on the IU Health campus in downtown Indianapolis. In their place is a selection of diet, unsweetened and "light" options. On May 15, all sugary drinks disappeared from cafeterias and vending machines.
Signs posted in the cafeterias alerted visitors to the new policy. As they began to choose between water, diet soda or low calorie juice, opinions were mixed.
"I think it's a great idea," said Vickie Detlaf, who recently gave up soda.
"I think everyone deserves a choice," said Debbie Jimenez, who didn't agree with the new policy. "If they want to drink something with sugar in it, that is their choice."
"You're always going to get some push back with changes," said Kate Juergens, a registered dietician for IU Health. "But we think we're making the right choices for our patients and our employees."
IU Health still allows visitors to bring in sugary drinks, but they're not making them available to buy anywhere.
IU Helath is following guidelines set by Partnership for a Healthier America, a nonprofit organization focused on reducing childhood obesity by working with the private sector.
Juergens said the effort is especially important in Indiana. According to the Center for Disease Control, 65 percent of Indiana adults are overweight and 30 percent are obese.
"Of all of the food that we can choose here in America, sugar sweetened beverages are the ones that are most closely linked to obesity," Juergens said.
Nearly all of the vendors on the IU Health campus have agreed to pull their sugary drinks as well, but there is one big exception. The McDonald's inside Riley Hospital for Children still sells Coke and all of the other traditional options.
"We're disappointed that McDonald's has chosen not to participate," Juergens said.
Despite the exception, Juergens said they are confident the new policy will catch on. She said low calorie food options outsell all others thanks to a new labeling system that highlights meals under 500 calories. The low calorie options are also more affordable than the rest.
"Turkey bacon here is going to be cheaper than regular bacon," Juergens said.
But with regular soda no longer available at all, not everyone agrees with the move.
"It's your choice. Health is your own choice," Jimenez said.
"Any consumer has that right to make their choice," Detlef said. "I think healthy choices are better."
IU Health plans to eventually roll out the new soda policy at its facilities throughout the area.

NOT ALL THIEVES ARE STUPID
Written by Bain Agency on Sep 4, 2013
" IN GOD WE TRUST"
NOW HEAR THIS...NOT ALL THIEVES ARE STUPID!!
1. Some people left their car in the long-term parking at San Jose while away, and someone broke into the car. Using the information on the car's registration in the glove compartment, they drove the car to the people's home in Pebble Beach and robbed it. So I guess if we are going to leave the car in long-term parking, we should NOT leave the registration/insurance cards in it, nor your remote garage door opener.
This gives us something to think about with all our new electronic technology.
2. GPS.
Someone had their car broken into while they were at a football game. Their car was parked on the green which was adjacent to the football stadium and specially allotted to football fans. Things stolen from the car included a garage door remote control, some money and a GPS which had been prominently mounted on the dashboard. When the victims got home, they found that their house had been ransacked and just about everything worth anything had been stolen. The thieves had used the GPS to guide them to the house. They then used the garage remote control to open the garage door and gain entry to the house. The thieves knew the owners were at the football game, they knew what time the game was scheduled to finish and so they knew how much time they had to clean out the house. It would appear that they had brought a truck to empty the house of its contents.
Something to consider if you have a GPS - don't put your home address in it... Put a nearby address (like a store or gas station) so you can still find your way home if you need to, but no one else would know where you live if your GPS were stolen.
3. CELL PHONES
I never thought of this.......
This lady has now changed her habit of how she lists her names on her cell phone after her handbag was stolen. Her handbag, which contained her cell phone, credit card, wallet, etc., was stolen. 20 minutes later when she called her hubby, from a pay phone telling him what had happened, hubby says 'I received your text asking about our Pin number and I've replied a little while ago.' When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn. The thief had actually used the stolen cell phone to text 'hubby' in the contact list and got hold of the pin number. Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from their bank account.
Moral of the lesson:
a. Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people in your contact list. Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, Sweetheart,
Dad, Mom, etc....
b. And very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked through texts, CONFIRM by calling back.
c. Also, when you're being texted by friends or family to meet them somewhere, be sure to call back to confirm that the message came from
them. If you don't reach them, be very careful about going places to meet 'family and friends' who text you.
4. Purse in the grocery cart scam...
A lady went grocery-shopping at a local mall and left her purse sitting in the children's seat of the cart while she reached something off a shelf...wait till you read the WHOLE story! Her wallet was stolen, and she reported it to the store personnel. After returning home, she received a phone call from the Mall Security to say that they had her wallet and that although there was no money in it, it did still hold her personal papers. She immediately went to pick up her wallet, only to be told by Mall Security that they had not called her. By the time she returned home again, her house had been broken into and burglarized. The thieves knew that by calling and saying they were Mall Security, they could lure her out of her house long enough for them to burglarize it.

Biography of J. Robert Oppenheimer, Director of the Manhattan Project
Fads & Fashions
Bettmann Archive / Getty Images
by Jennifer Rosenberg
Jennifer Rosenberg is a historian, history fact-checker, and freelance writer who writes about 20th-century history topics.
J. Robert Oppenheimer (April 22, 1904–February 18, 1967) was a physicist and the director of the Manhattan Project, the United States' effort during World War II to create an atomic bomb. Oppenheimer's struggle after the war with the morality of building such a destructive weapon epitomized the moral dilemma that faced scientists who worked to create the atomic and hydrogen bombs.
Fast Facts: Robert J. Oppenheimer
Known For: Leader of the Manhattan Project, which developed the atomic bomb
Also Known As: Father of the Atomic Bomb
Born: April 22, 1904 in New York City, New York
Parents: Julius Oppenheimer, Ella Friedman
Died: February 18, 1967 in Princeton, New Jersey
Education: Harvard College, Christ's College, Cambridge, University of Göttingen
Published Works: Science and the Common Understanding, The Open Mind, The Flying Trapeze: Three Crises for Physicists
Awards and Honors: Enrico Fermi Award
Spouse: Katherine "Kitty" Puening
Children: Peter, Katherine
Notable Quote: "If atomic bombs are to be added as new weapons to the arsenals of a warring world, or to the arsenals of the nations preparing for war, then the time will come when mankind will curse the names of Los Alamos and Hiroshima. The people of this world must unite or they will perish."
Julius Robert Oppenheimer was born in New York City on April 22, 1904, to Ella Friedman, an artist, and Julius S. Oppenheimer, a textile merchant. The Oppenheimers were German-Jewish immigrants but did not keep religious traditions.
Oppenheimer attended the Ethical Culture School in New York. Although J. Robert Oppenheimer easily grasped both the sciences and humanities (and was especially good at languages), he graduated from Harvard in 1925 with a degree in chemistry.
Oppenheimer continued his studies and graduated from the University of Gottingen in Germany with a Ph.D. After earning his doctorate, Oppenheimer traveled back to the U.S. and taught physics at the University of California at Berkeley. He became well known for being both a well-regarded teacher and a research physicist—not a common combination.
In 1940, Oppenheimer married Katherine Peuning Harrison and their eldest child was born. Harrison, a radical student at Berkeley, was one of many communists in Oppenheimer's circle of friends.
The Manhattan Project
During the beginning of World War II, news arrived in the U.S. that the Nazis were progressing toward the creation of an atomic bomb. Though the Americans were already behind, they believed they could not allow the Nazis to build such a powerful weapon first.
In June 1942, Oppenheimer was appointed the director of the Manhattan Project, America's team of scientists that would work to create an atomic bomb.
Oppenheimer threw himself into the project and proved himself not only a brilliant scientist but also an exceptional administrator. He brought the best scientists in the country together at the research facility at Los Alamos, New Mexico.
After three years of research, problem-solving, and original ideas, the first small atomic device was exploded on July 16, 1945, in the lab at Los Alamos. Having proved their concept worked, a larger scale bomb was built and exploded at the Trinity site. Less than a month later, atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan.
A Problem With His Conscience
The massive destruction the bombs inflicted troubled Oppenheimer. He had been so caught up in the challenge of creating something new and the competition between the U.S. and Germany that he—and many of the other scientists working on the project—had not considered the human toll that would be caused by these bombs.
After the end of World War II, Oppenheimer began to voice his opposition to creating more atomic bombs and specifically opposed developing a more powerful bomb using hydrogen, known as a hydrogen bomb.
Unfortunately, his opposition to the development of these bombs caused the United States Atomic Energy Commission to examine his loyalty and questioned his ties to the Communist Party in the 1930s. The Commission decided to revoke Oppenheimer's security clearance in 1954.
From 1947 to 1966, Oppenheimer worked as the director of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. In 1963, the Atomic Energy Commission recognized Oppenheimer's role in the development of atomic research and awarded him the prestigious Enrico Fermi Award.
Oppenheimer spent his remaining years researching physics and examining the moral dilemmas related to scientists. Oppenheimer died in 1967 at age 62 from throat cancer.
The invention of the atomic bomb had a profound impact on the outcome of World War II and on the ensuing Cold War and arms race. Oppenheimer's personal ethical dilemma has become the focus of myriad books and several plays, including In the Matter of J. Robert Oppenheimer.
