Tiger Old Boys Reunion at the Balmain JB Sharp
Pictured L->R, John Hanson, Richard Hunt, David Longhurst, Gary Pearce, Con Lucas, John Gray, Don Trimble and kneeling Jim Lucas.
It was great to see a good turnout of BRC old boys sharing a few laughs and memories at the JB Sharp on 24th July.
Among them several former winners of the JB Sharp Walker & Hall Challice. Richard Hunt won it 3 times in the 70s and around that period BRC won it about 10 times. Richard also won a number of State and National titles during the 70's including representation in the state lightweight four. In those days there was a coxed (Yes COXED!) pair in which he and Terry Maher were the National Champions.
Gary Pearce won his Silver Medal at the 1968 Mexico Olympics and competed in 4 Olympics, including 1972 Munich Games where the terrible Meinhof massacre occurred.
With the exception of Richard Hunt most of these guys had ceased rowing competitively (except for some cameo appearances) in the early 1970's.
There are rumours of them getting back out on the water for a paddle soon...stay tuned!

I???m working with ArcGIS 9.3 (shortly to be updated!). I have two layers, one with points and one with a line. Both layers are in spatial reference WGS84. I want to find the shortest distance (in meters, if possible) between each point and the line. I???ve read some previous threads trying to do a similar thing using the IProximityOperator, and I???ve tried some of the code that was posted on these threads, but am a VBA novice and can???t get it to work at all.
Any help (in the most basic language possible :o) would be much appreciated!
please post code that doesn't work.
I've build myself a code to find the nearest street of a point, and it is quite simple. I did not use any namespace, only math functions. So, if you want to give it a try, look for Heron's formula, which I think is the cheapest for computing. The formula gives you a height of a triangule using the sides. Maybe IProximityOperator give you best results, but I've never worked with it.
Thanks for the speedy responses Dubravko & Rodrigo.
I�??ve attached the code I am trying to get to work to this reply (I hope!).
It was taken off one of the old forum subjects from 2002, so maybe the problem is that I�??m using a newer version of ArcGIS? This code has the proximity operator function in it. I just don�??t know if it won�??t run because of an issue with the code, or the way I�??m trying to run it. It does seem that the Macro function doesn�??t register any more than the first Sub. Could this be the issue? If so, how do I fix it?
I can't run your code right now, I'll do it since I can. About the points, one may be the point you are interested, and the other two may be the edges of your line. You must calculate de distance from one tho another (you have one, the length of the segment, so it's just two calculations). After that, you use the 3 sides in Heron's formula, to get the distance of each point to the line.
I assure you, it's not difficult to do.
Jo this is simple task to do. If you would like to dive into ArcObjects you should get a lot of patience and reading SDK.
This is simple code that you can adopt to your needs.
This is all you should do to calculate distance.
Run the geoprocessing tool called Near with points as input and lines as near features. Or run Generate Near Table if you want more than one closest lines.
Take the avtange of built-in ArcGIS validation.

Framingham Centre
Bisected by Route 9, the Centre brings forth memories of another era.
To the north is the village green surrounded by beautiful historic buildings, the Village Hall, the Old Academy, and Edgell Memorial Library. Bordered by stately homes dating back to the early 19th century, the Centre presents the image of a classic New England Village. It encompasses two historic districts - the Centre Common District and the Jonathan Maynard District running out Pleasant Street.
To the south of Route 9, more historic properties line Maple and Main Streets, crowned by the famous Minuteman Statue at the junction of the two. Atop a nearby hill stands Framingham State University.
The Centre History
The founder of our community, Thomas Danforth, chose this spot near the geographic center of his land grant to erect the first meeting house. It grew to become the center of commerce in the early 1800s, when the route of the Worcester Turnpike was laid out, taking it through this location. Situated at the halfway point between Boston and Worcester, it became a stopping place for the stage coach, and taverns and hotels were soon built here as well as many fine homes.

Bernardino Bertolotti (March 26, 1547 – after 1609) was an Italian composer and instrumentalist. He came from a family of instrumentalists and instrument makers, and was the son of Agostino Bertolotti, who was the maestro di cappella at Salò cathedral. Bernardino joined the Este court at Ferrara in 1578, and left when the court dissolved in 1598, at which point he went to the court of Vincenzo Gonzaga at Mantua, a closely related court, and in 1609 was instrumentalist to the pope at the Castel Sant'Angelo. It seems that he played the violin and trombone as part of his duties.

Bertolotti was a minor composer, and despite the revolutionary musical changes which were occurring in Ferrara during his tenure there, most notably in the work of Luzzasco Luzzaschi, his works remained pedestrian and were published: Missarum ad quinque voces, Bernardini Bertolotti Salodien. Serenissimi Ferrariae Ducis Musici. Liber primus. Nunc primum in lucem editus. - Venetijs. Apud Riciardum Amadinum 1593 - in 4°. He was the cousin of Gasparo da Salò.

There is an interesting debate in Germany about how the position of the neutral fibre (xc) should be calculated to carry out the cracking analysis of a concrete cross section.
Let's look at a simple example in which the difference between considering one option or the other is evaluated. We will carry out the crack verification for the presented beam, subjected to an axial force of 100 kN and a quasi-permanent moment of 650 kNm. The concrete is C25730 class and has a total reinforcement area of 3770 mm2. It will be supposed that the coefficient of creep is 2.63.
If we check the 'Cracked concrete' option then we are considering that cross section A (the cracked one) and, therefore, we have a minor compressed zone, with a lower xc and a greater effective height of the tensile zone (hc,eff) and, thus, an also greater tensile effective area, Ac,eff.
In the results output a value of xc = 478.07 mm can be seen. It is important to know that choosing 'cracked concrete' is equivalent to indicating the program that we will use the values of the cross section in which there is a crack and so we will obtain poorer results (greater crack widths and smaller distances between them).
Analysis with the Uncracked concrete option: Cross section B ➡ greater xc ➡ lower hc,eff ➡ smaller tensile zone Ac,eff ➡ lower crack width and greater distance.
That is, considering a tensile stress of 9.5 MPa on the bottom corner fibre and a compressive stress of 10 MPa on the top corner fibre, which come from the N-M combination introduced, it all results in a neutral fibre that goes through the xc position indicated.

Q: Add rows to pandas to complete sequence What's the best way of completing a pandas dataframe like so:
order |  group | value
 -3   |   a    |  0
 -2   |   a    |  3
 -4   |   b    |  2

I want to automatically add null rows such that the order column ends at 0, split by group values (doesn't have to be in order, just need the rows to exist)
order |  group | value
 -3   |   a    |  0
 -2   |   a    |  3
 -1   |   a    |  nan
  0   |   a    |  nan
 -4   |   b    |  2
 -3   |   b    |  nan
 -2   |   b    |  nan
 -1   |   b    |  nan
  0   |   b    |  nan

A: Using groupby then reindex
df.groupby('group').\
   apply(lambda x : x.set_index('order').reindex(-np.arange(max(x['order'].abs()+1)))).\
      drop('group',1).reset_index()
Out[135]:
  group  order  value
0     a      0    NaN
1     a     -1    NaN
2     a     -2    3.0
3     a     -3    0.0
4     b      0    NaN
5     b     -1    NaN
6     b     -2    NaN
7     b     -3    NaN
8     b     -4    2.0

A: You can use list comprehension and reindex
dfs = [df[df['group'] == g] for g in df.group.unique()]
df_f = pd.concat([a.set_index('order').reindex(range(a.iloc[0].order, 1)) for a in dfs])
df_f['group'] = df_f.group.ffill()

        group   value
order
-3      a       0.0
-2      a       3.0
-1      a       NaN
0       a       NaN
-4      b       2.0
-3      b       NaN
-2      b       NaN
-1      b       NaN
0       b       NaN

We perform periodic well-child checks based on the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended Periodic Schedule designed to track the development of each child and adolescent.
Once you are home from the hospital, it is VERY important that you call your insurance company and tell them the baby has been born. The insurance company will not pay for any services that the baby received in the hospital or afterwards if you do not call them to tell them he/she has been born and to please add them to the policy.
To help ease you and your new bundle of joy into your first office visits and to make your experience more enjoyable, we recommend you download and complete our Newborn Paperwork packet prior to your arrival.
Each Year after that throughout childhood.
We think the well-baby examination is an ideal time to discuss concerns or questions with the physicians. This may include special questions you have about immunizations, nutrition, growth and development, accident prevention and family related concerns. If you have important questions, it is a good idea to write them down before going for your well-baby visit, you will save time and won't forget any of the questions you wanted to discuss.
Congratulations on your new Bundle of Joy! If there is anything the staff and physicians at Dawson Pediatrics can do for you or your family, just let us know. We are happy to help!

'Storm Area 51' Organizer Says It's A Joke, Isn't Responsible For What Happens To 450,000 People Who Signed Up
The man who organized the "Storm Area 51" Facebook group says it's just a joke, and that he's not responsible for what happens to any of the 450,000 people who have signed up for the event, reports.
As of this writing, nearly half a million people have added their names to the Storm Area 51 group, which plans to convene on September 20 outside the secretive U.S. Air Force facility in the middle of the Nevada desert and, well, storm it.

Woman Gets Marijuana-Themed Birthday Cake After Ordering 'Moana' Disney Cake
A misunderstanding during a cake order led to a woman getting a marijuana-themed birthday cake instead of a Moana cake.
A Georgia woman ordered a cake from the Dairy Queen in Milledgeville, Georgia, for her 25-year-old daughter's birthday, reports . She wanted the cake to have images from the Disney cartoon film Moana, but instead, the Dairy Queen employee heard marijuana, including an image of a leaf from a cannabis plant.
The cake was brought to the birthday celebration of Kensli Davis, and instead of Disney and Hawaiian images, the cake had a marijuana leaf and a pony smoking a joint, said the birthday girl.

Couple Trolled Online For Seeming To Name Their Kids Tiamarie & Jackdaniel After Liquor
A couple who claim that they named two of their children after liquor brands accidentally are pushing back after they were trolled online for naming their son and daughter Jackdaniel and Tiamarie.
is reporting that the parents, from Hull in the north of England, say that people shouldn't judge, and at least their kids don't have boring names. Steve Mennell, 36, and his wife, Sarah, 35, have five children together, and say they had no clue that the names of their two oldest children were associated with alcoholic beverages.
They revealed that their son, Jackdaniel, 11, is named for a famous Canadian runner named Jack Daniels, and their daughter, Tiamarie was named after a Spanish holiday. Their three other children are named Sydney, Princess, and Albert. The couple, who run a children's party company, say they get more teasing about their youngest child's name, Albert, because people think it sounds like an old man's name.

Police In Missouri Arrest Felony Suspect When Loud Fart Gives Away Their Hiding Spot
Police in Missouri searching for a felony suspect got some very unusual help in finding their hiding spot.
As reported, officers from the Liberty Police Department were searching for a person who had a felony arrest warrant and was also wanted for possession of a controlled substance. But the suspect apparently had some difficulty controlling their gas and let out a fart so loud that police were able to track down the hiding suspect.
The strange arrest was announced this week by the Clay County Sheriff's Office, which made light of the incident in a post on Facebook.
"If you've got a felony warrant for your arrest, the cops are looking for you and you pass gas so loud it gives up your hiding spot, you're definitely having a [poop emoji] day," the department said in a post, adding the hashtag "#ItHappened."

Tennessee Inmate Escapes From Jail On Fourth Of July, Returns On His Own A Few Hours Later
Steven Ray Hamm apparently had his own Independence Day celebration in mind.
The Tennessee inmate managed to escape from the Humphreys County Jail at 8 p.m. on the Fourth of July, taking off just as Americans across the time zone were preparing to celebrate with fireworks.
As the noted, what happened next was even more surprising. After being on the lam for just a few hours, Hamm showed up back at the jail to return to his cell.
"The sheriff's office said that Hamm returned to the jail at 3 a.m. — about seven hours after he fled the facility," the report noted.
The report noted that it was not clear how Hamm escaped custody or what prompted him to come back, and it wasn't reported exactly what he did during his brief stint of freedom. He had been jailed on theft of property, burglary of a motor vehicle, and failure to pay child support.

John F. Kennedy Jr. Fails To Reappear And Declare He's 'Trump's Number 1 Fan,' Disappointing QAnon Believers
Donald Trump supporters who embrace the bizarre and outlandish conspiracy theory known as "QAnon" turned out on July 4 in Washington, D.C., for Trump's speech at the Lincoln Memorial. Many of them believed that the event would see the emergence from a supposed 20-year period of hiding by John F. Kennedy Jr., son of the 35th U.S. president, according to a report by .
And when JFK Jr,. reappeared, he would declare himself to be an ardent Trump fan and, according to a summary of the conspiracy theory by magazine, might even announce that he would be Trump's new vice-presidential running mate in the 2020 presidential election.
But none of that happened on July 4.

Woman Falls Asleep During Flight & Wakes Up Alone On Dark, Empty Plane
Air Canada is currently in the media spotlight as a woman named Tiffani Adams claims she fell asleep during her 90-minute flight on June 9 from Quebec to Toronto only to wake up alone – and freezing – in a locked, pitch black airplane.
The woman reports that she woke up to discover the plane had been cleared, parked, and locked up for the evening.
"I fell asleep probably less than halfway through my short 1.5 hour flight," she penned in a message posted on Air Canada's, per the .
In her post, Adams explains that she woke up a few hours after her flight landed. She was freezing and still buckled into her seat. She remembers there being no light in the aircraft as she was surrounded by complete darkness. Tiffani reportedly pulled out her phone to call a friend for help, but her phone died roughly a minute into the phone call.

What future for migrants & refugees?
Posted on March 21, 2018 by andrew
By Andrew L. Urban
Douglas Murray's provocative article in The Weekend Australian, (17/18 March, 2018), 'Add new migrants and stir carefully' discusses the challenges of mass migration from the point of view of Australia and other host countries. But do all migrants find a happy new life in their new country and new culture?
Murray says: "In 2015 up to 1.5 million came to Germany in one year alone, adding about 2 per cent to the German population. Nobody thought the matter through. Nobody wanted to admit the consequences. Everyone was fearful of the discussion. But the German public is now living with the consequences. A report commissioned by the German government and released at the start of this year found that a double-digit increase in violent crime had occurred in the years since 2015 and that "more than 90 per cent" of this was due to young male migrants. Three years ago if you said that a huge influx of young male migrants from the developing world might cause an increase in violent crime you would be dismissed as a racist. Today it is clear that — whether you were a racist or not — you also were right in your prediction."
He begins with a big IF: "If Australia — or any other Western democracy — were able to have a grown-up conversation about immigration and integration, then that conversation would start with difficult questions. One of them would be this: "Who do we not want to join us here?"
The flip side of that question is "Who doesn't want to or can't join in here?" What happens after they arrive? What future is there for the least skilled migrants/refugees who make up the bulk of the numbers. Will any of their expectations for a life of Western style comfort, safety and happiness be met? Or is their future demarcated by welfare payments, perhaps supplemented by petty or major crime, homelessness, cultural disconnect, absence of self esteem, hopelessness … will disillusionment turn to bitterness when a nice apartment, a neat car and lots of pretty women is a lifestyle combo that remains out of their reach?
Is Europe, the UK and Australia really the place and the culture to deliver long term life improvement to those vulnerable and unself-sufficient migrants from poverty stricken lands who seek economic advantages?
Not least is the problem of cultural dislocation for the vast bulk of young men whose life experience is within the culture of their Muslim village.
Have they swapped a Muslim village lifestyle within the Muslim world with a Muslim village lifestyle on the harsh streets of ghettos and banlieue of the West? (Like the Melbourne gangs.) Many have few if any skills that will help them into jobs in Paris, Berlin, London or Sydney – not even relevant language skills in many cases.
Unfiltered migration is a lose-lose policy. Worse, it is not even up for discussion. Part of the reason for that is clearly the spectre of being labelled a bigot or racist, as Murray points out. "…we have disabled our ability to have a sane public discussion. Simultaneously, "open borders" fanatics see how afraid everyone else is even of false accusations of bigotry and push their advantage, throwing around accusations of racism for short-term wins towards a long-term political goal.
"For the time being there remains only one acceptable tone in which to talk about immigration and integration. That is to talk about it as an unending boon and one big success story. Merely signal that there are pros and cons and you land in a whole world of pain."
I was spending time in Hungary in May 2015 when the flood of refugees and migrants began arriving in Europe. Hungary was the first to put up border fences, much to almost universal condemnation. I wrote then: "There is an argument that Western democracies can afford and are morally obliged to help such refugees. But this argument is in a reality vacuum. Is there a limit on the numbers? The numbers are growing. Who decides where to draw the line? What about the poverty stricken, unemployed or indigenous disadvantaged of the host countries? Do they not warrant charity to begin at home, and that share of resources increasingly going to economic migrants? What moral rights do economic refugees have over hosts? The sheer scale of it is overwhelming, as mass migration expands on its own momentum, deaths on the journeys notwithstanding."
In February 2016, Der Spiegel published an extensive report, 'Has the German State lost control?' One paragraph from the report gives an insight into the extent of the problems facing host countries:
"In many places, refugees simply disappear soon after arrival, without anyone knowing where they've gone. The operators of some asylum-seeker camps, like one in the state of Hesse outside of Frankfurt, report a disappearance rate among refugees as high as 50 percent within the first two days after arrival."
Further questions arise as time passes, as it already has: when minority groups grow and become pressure groups, will they skew public policy as vote-chasing officials pursue their wishes? (Sharia?) When migrant groups present profoundly conflicting cultures within the host societies, what then?
The moral questions are so complex they defy simplistic answers and they are imperative questions for democracies because without working out how to respond to this challenge, democracies will inevitably begin to weaken- as they already have.
Now, three years later, borders in Europe (several now also fenced) are no longer so open, populations are restless and many citizens are turning against over-generous migration policies. The bulk of reporting has been on the new waves of crime committed by sections of newcomers from Africa or the Middle East. That unavoidable fact should alert us to the harsh reality that for many, their new home does not feel like home at all. It may well feel like the fire into which they have jumped from the frying pan.
But where do they seek refuge if Muslim nations have been notable by their absence in reaching out and embracing refugees and migrants from other Muslim countries. That's another taboo subject. Everyone is fearful of the discussion.

Later, traders will get an opportunity to look at another hints, understatements, clues, and insights from today's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. The Fed is expected to clarify if it wants to raise the key interest rate at least twice this year. However, the global economic headwinds and internal slowdown are pushing back any potential date of tightening monetary policy cycle. Please notice as the Fed had released its last minutes three weeks ago, the global situation changed dramatically, with a possible Chinese stock market crash and Greece technical default leading the way. This is why the FOMC minutes might be out of date already as the US data for June were horrible and global situation has chanced a lot as well. The preached rate hike in the month of September by most hawkish Fed Governor Jerome Powell might not be seen this year at all.
- hawkish tone - EUR/USD should make a new low below the level of 1.0914.


The GB2312 encoding implements GB 2312-1980, a PRC national standard for the encoding of simplified Chinese characters.
Multibyte characters in the GB2312 encoding can be one byte or two bytes long. GB 11383-1981 ( ASCII) characters are represented by single bytes in the range 0x00 to 0x7F. Simplified Chinese characters are represented by two bytes, both in the range 0xA1-0xFE.
The GB2312 encoding is believed to be compatible with GB 2312-1980. This standard has been superseded by GB 18030-2000, but is still in wide use.

Planet occurrence: Doppler and transit surveys
Joshua N. Winn
Prior to the 1990s, speculations about the occurrence of planets around other stars were based only on planet formation theory, observations of circumstellar disks, and the knowledge that at least one seemingly ordinary star had managed to make a variety of different planets. Since then, Doppler and transit surveys have revealed the population of planets around other Sun-like stars, especially those with orbital periods shorter than a few years. Over the last decade, these surveys have risen to new heights with Doppler spectrographs capable of 1ms-1 precision and space telescopes capable of detecting the transits of Earth-sized planets. This article is a brief introductory review of the knowledge of planet occurrence that has been gained from these surveys.

Cimarron in Montrose County, Colorado — The American Mountains (Southwest)
Geography Sets the Stage
By William Fischer, Jr., October 11, 2020
1. Geography Sets the Stage Marker
Geography Sets the Stage. .
The Gunnison River carved Black Canyon through a 50-mile block of rock called the Gunnison Uplift. Look up to the slopes above to see the edge of the uplift. The Cimarron River cut through its walls and into the canyon creating a geographic doorway to the river.
Ute Indians, trappers, and explorers all passed this way before the coming of the trains. In 1882 the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad spent some 15 months laying track down the canyon from Gunnison to be able to reach the mining towns in the San Juan Mountains to the south.
Cimarron started life as an unruly camp and grew quickly. Work crews housed there dealt with debris and hazards in Black Canyon to keep open one of the most challenging stretches of rails in Colorado.

Justin Bourque Arrested: Moncton Shooting Suspect Caught (VIDEO)
The Huffington Post Canada
');}catch(e){}
Justin Bourque, the suspected shooter behind the deaths of three RCMP officers, has been arrested.
Mounties confirmed early Friday the 24-year-old Moncton man was captured at 12:10 a.m. local time.
A lockdown order for area residents has also been lifted.
UPDATE:New Brunswick RCMP have identified the three officers killed in the line of duty.
The officers who died were: Const. David Ross, 32, originally of Victoriaville, Que.; Const. Fabrice Georges Gevaudan, 45, originally of Boulogne-Billancourt in France; and Const. Douglas James Larche of Saint John, N.B.
Assistant Commissioner Roger Brown, the Mounties' commanding officer in the province, says it will take time for the department to heal.
"This is the start of a very long road for all of us," said Brown. "My thoughts and my prayers continually remain with the family and loved ones of the fallen officers."
Bourque was unarmed at the time of his arrest early Friday, New Brunswick RCMP said at a press conference Friday morning.
Supt. Marlene Snowman said Bourque was unarmed when he was arrested without incident but police did find weapons near the wooded residential area where he was found.
Snowman had to pause to gather her composure as she thanked residents for keeping their outdoor lights on, which she says helped police in their night-time search.
"I can't dig deep enough to explain the sadness that we all feel. We need to start this healing process together," she said.
Footage of Bourque's capture was obtained by the CBC and appears to show him being led into the back of a squad car.
The arrest concludes a massive manhunt conducted after three Mounties were shot and killed in Moncton Wednesday.
Two other officers sustained non-life threatening injuries – one has since been discharged from hospital. The identities of the dead and surviving victims have not been released.
Moncton resident Michelle Thibodeau was at her Hildegard home with family when Bourque was arrested in her backyard, she told CTV News.
She noticed a SWAT team driving by when all of a sudden they headed toward the back of the house, screaming, "Come out with your hands up!"
Bourque then emerged with his hands up and said, "I'm done."
Police kept a gun pointed at the suspect as they arrested him. They also searched Thibodeau's yard for other firearms, she said.
"We were all shaking, it was a very scary moment."
He was in my backyard. I saw him arrested in front of my eyes. He is alive. Thank you #RCMPNB.
— michelle thibodeau (@YourMichelle) June 6, 2014
The swat team arrived at my house and unloaded and started screaming in my backyard for him to surrender and he did. I watched it happen.
They had him sprawled on my front lawn for some time and then loaded him into the swat vehicle. They are now checking my yard for firearms.
Thibodeau said the RCMP were unwavering throughout the manhunt, adding, "I think we will honour them forever in this community, we always have and we always will."
New Brunswick Premier David Alward issued a statement after news of Bourque's arrest, praising the RCMP for their dedication and strength – and extended condolences to grieving families.
"These events have been among the most shocking and heart-wrenching moments in my service as premier," he said.
"To the families, friends, and colleagues of the fallen officers, although we cannot know the full impact of your suffering, your fellow New Brunswickers share the horror and pain.
"You are not alone in your grief - our hearts, minds and prayers are with you during the difficult days ahead."
Earlier in the day, Bourque was spotted by authorities but managed to evade arrest after running into a wooded area.
Assistant Commissioner Roger Brown, the Mounties' commanding officer in New Brunswick, described the situation at the time as "very, very dangerous" and appealed to the public to stay calm.
"This is working through your worst nightmare," he said.
The search for the suspected gunman began Wednesday around 7:30 p.m. when police responded to reports of an armed man walking along a road. It was shortly after that initial call that shots rang out.
WARNING: GRAPHIC PHOTOS. Story continues below slideshow.
Shocking images of a camouflage-clad Bourque walking calmly on a residential street, armed with high-powered firearms, spread across the Internet and gained international media attention.
The manhunt, which lasted nearly 30 hours, included the efforts of tactical armoured vehicles, air support major crime units, specialized teams, K-9 teams, and a legion of on-duty officers from across the province.
It remains unclear how the weapons spotted on Bourque's person – described as an M-14 semi-automatic rifle and a six-shot pump-action shotgun – were acquired.
Online speculation over where he bought his arsenal prompted a Moncton-area "emergency preparedness" store to issue a statement in an effort to minimize culpability from one of the worst mass shooting in RCMP history.
"The Worlds End Warehouse is a fully authorised & licensed firearms dealer, with a spotless record, and we promote firearms for recreational hunting, target shooting and law enforcement/security. However, to prevent pointless media speculation we can confirm that the suspect in this case whilst known personally by employees of our store, was never a customer and never purchased firearms or ammunition from us," they said.
A few character witnesses also emerged during the nerve-wracking ordeal, sharing details about Bourque's personal life and habits.
According to Christian Duquette, a neighbour living in the same trailer park as the suspect, he was a man who preferred to keep to himself.
"He was a loner, he was never out in the park socializing. Aside from that, he was just your average Joe in a trailer park."

Not everyone has insane money to buy a big apartment in New York, but that doesn't mean they cannot own a home. The US Department of Agriculture offers loans with zero down payments and low interest rates for people who belong to low-income groups for rural (and suburban) areas. The purpose is rather simple – to promote economy in these regions and to improve quality of life. Here's what you must know before taking a call between traditional mortgage and USDA Loans.
In simple words, USDA Loan is a low-interest loan, which comes with a fixed rate mortgage and doesn't need a massive down payment. The US Department of Agriculture has mentioned the areas where one can buy a home under the program. Unlike a traditional mortgage, getting qualified for a USDA Loan is quite easier, although certain requirements must be met. Your household size, debt ratio, income and location are some of the things that will be considered. It's also about USDA home loan for people, who want to improve or upgrade their homes.
USDA has partnered with local lenders to offer guaranteed loans, where a part of the mortgage is guaranteed by USDA. Keep in mind that your income will be considered, and it shouldn't be more than 115% of the median family income, which can again vary by area. USDA also offers direct loans for those belonging to very-low income groups. Instead of a banker, the loan will be given by USDA, because the income of the applicant is too low to get any other form of financing. To assist low-income Americans in upgrading and improving their home, USDA also offers home improvement loans, which can be again combined with a grant that need not be paid back.
Please note that USDA Loans are only available for buying homes that will be occupied by owners. In other words, you cannot use such loans to fund an investment property or make commercial gains out of it. Income is usually the first criteria for such loans, because USDA and the lender needs to know that you can pay the mortgage, property taxes and insurance as required. Mortgage, bills and debts cannot exceed 41% of the monthly income. As for guaranteed USDA loans, a credit score of 640 is usually required, but the credit score isn't always as important, and applicants with no credit history can also qualify for the loan.

Mashkoor Hussain Yaad () (1925-2017) was an Urdu language Pakistani poet, novelist and scholar who authored several books. His works include Azadi Ki Charagh, a memoir of his experiences of Partition in Eastern Punjab. Yaad won the Pride of Performance in 1999 and the Sitara-i-Imtiaz in 2011 for his contributions to literature.

Biography
Mashkoor Hussain Yaad was born in 1925, in Dabwali, Hisar of East Punjab (now part of Haryana). He went by the pen name "Yaad", and later added this to his name when he became a poet. At a young age, his family moved to Muzaffarnagar District in Uttar Pradesh, where his father became a police officer.

He was married first in 1943. Two weeks after Partition in 1947, his house was attacked and 35 of his family members were killed, including his wife and his three-year-old daughter. Only Yaad and his father survived the attack, and both migrated to Multan, Pakistan.

Yaad died in 2017 at the age of 90. On the occasion of his death, Shehbaz Sharif, the Chief Minister of Punjab at the time, publicly expressed his condolences and said that Yaad's contribution to Urdu literature will be remembered for a long time.

Literary career
Just before he graduated from school, Yaad became editor of the newspaper Pukar. In his capacity as editor, Yaad was able to closely observe India's independence movement and the Pakistan movement. He also met and interviewed leaders of these movements, including Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Jawaharlal Nehru.

In Pakistan, his literary career was re-launched after he became Professor of Urdu at Government College, Lahore and published Azadi Ki Chiragh.

Though not a member of Pakistan's Progressive Writers Association, he was friends with many of its members, especially Ahmed Nadeem Qasmi. Qasmi and Yaad even lived in the same neighborhood in Lahore, Samanabad's Zafar Colony, along with the poet and lyricist Qateel Shifai, also a close friend.

Along with Qasmi and others, Yaad is featured in a recently published compilation of interviews with Pakistan's major literary figures.
