My love to travel and my hobby to write made me publish my first travel blog.
It got further spiced up when I was diagnosed with a lifelong disease with no cure. I started thinking of all the places I wanted to travel but I was scared if my health would support me. That is when I started traveling solo because I felt I don't have time to wait for someone's availability. It somehow gave me strength to take strong decisions and made me a fighter. I have been fighting with my medical condition as well as trying to travel whenever I get an opportunity and write about it.
Do read my blog and drop me a comment if you like it.
I've tried to share my travel experiences through my blog; "travelwithnilz". There's nothing better than reliving the wonderful trips that you've once made and jot it down in words. Memories linger forever and what can be better than reading it whenever it crosses your mind. It makes you feel elated instantly!!
Through my travel blog I've tried to take people along with me to the places that I once visited. So, if you like travelling and if you like reading; join me in reliving my memory.
Let's travel together with – travelwithnilz!!

Q: How to setup phpmyadmin and SQL for messaging via REST-api? In my database I have a table called "Chat". Here i intend to store every message that has been sent between users in my application. First i have to store them in a list (by just simply doing a SELECT * FROM ColumnText WHERE OneID = '$OneID' and gather all the ID's from other users i have had messages with) but i now struggle to finish the last part which is to see the messages between these two users once i click on a row.
My plan is to gather the info with a call that would look something like this:
http://myURL.com/Chat.php?UserOneID=1548&UserTwoID=1724

Where one user has ID 1548 and another 1724.
The first issue I am seeing is that who will I know which one sent the message. What i then did and that could potentially work is to do something like this instead:
Rename the ID's to something more clear like this first SenderID and RecieverID instead where the data could look something like this:
SenderID = 1548 RecieverID = 1724
and
SenderID = 1724 RecieverID = 1548
I wrote code for it that looks like this where i use a UNION to try to gather the data for the two ID's together, not just one ID where the call would look something like this:
http://myURL.com/Chat.php?SenderID=1548&RecieverID=1724
http://myURL.com/Chat.php?RecieverID=1548&SenderID=1724

<?php

class ConnectionInfo
{
public $conn;
public function GetConnection() {
  $this->conn = mysqli_connect("serv", "user","pass", "db") or die(mysqli_error($mysql_pekare));

 }
}

$connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
$connectionInfo->GetConnection();

if (!$connectionInfo->conn)
{
echo 'No Connection';
}

else
{
    $SenderID = $_GET['SenderID'];
    $RecieverID = $_GET['RecieverID'];

    $query = "(SELECT * FROM ColumnText WHERE SenderID = '$SenderID') UNION (SELECT * FROM ColumnText WHERE RecieverID = '$RecieverID')";

    $stmt = mysqli_query($connectionInfo->conn, $query);

    if (!$stmt)
    {
        echo 'Query failed';
    }

    else
    {
        $contacts = array();
        while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($stmt))
        {

        $contact = array("Messages" => $row['Messages']);

        array_push($contacts, $contact);
        }
        echo json_encode(array('results' => $contacts), JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
    }

}

?>

The problem with this is that "UNION" does not seem to do the trick. I only seem to get all the data from the SenderID row even though the RecieverID is not matching with the one i send to the script.
Is my current approach the correct way and if so, how would i need to adjust my phpscript in order for this to work?

A: Why don't you just use an OR? So the results have the correct receiver and the correct sender? And you got all messages from X to Y and all messages from Y to X
Your query line would look like this:
 $query = "SELECT * FROM ColumnText WHERE (SenderID = '$SenderID' AND RecieverID = '$RecieverID') OR (SenderID = '$RecieverID' AND RecieverID = '$SenderID')";

Furthermore i strongly recommend you to use prepared statements

A massive US-Israeli military exercise that was scheduled for this fall amid mounting concerns over an Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, might not be as grand as initially expected, with Washington deciding to significantly scale back on its participation in the drill, Time Magazine reported on Friday, citing Israeli and American sources.
In January, the two countries decided to postpone the drill, but while it is expected to go forward this October – weeks prior to the presidential elections – it may not be the event expected.
According to the report, the US slashed the number of American troops who were slated to travel to Israel by more than 60%; instead of the approximately 5,000 troops originally assigned to "Austere Challenge 12," as the exercise is dubbed, the Pentagon will send only 1,500 servicemen and perhaps as few as 1,200.
The number and the potency of missile interception systems that were to be used in the maneuvers were also reduced. Patriot anti-missile systems will arrive in Israel as planned, the crews that can operate them will not. Instead of two Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense warships, only one will be deployed – and even that is uncertain, Time said, citing officials in both the US and Israeli militaries.
The report postulated that a smaller US deployment may make it more difficult for Israel launch a preemptive strike on the Islamic Republic's nuclear facilities.
"Basically what the Americans are saying is, 'We don't trust you,'" a senior Israeli military official told the magazine.
The official explanation was budget restrictions; however, the decision coincided with growing tensions between the Obama Administration and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government on Israel's persistent threats attack Iran.
Israeli analyst Efraim Inbar told Time that the rationale for the retreat was quite clear.
"I think they don't want to insinuate that they are preparing something together with the Israelis against Iran – that's the message," said Inbar, director of the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies at Bar-Ilan University. "Trust? We don't trust them. They don't trust us. All these liberal notions! Even a liberal president like Obama knows better."
Assistant secretary of state Andrew J. Shapiro last November branded Austere Challenge as "by far the largest and most significant exercise in US-Israeli history."
According to the report, the goal was to "improve interoperability" between American and Israeli anti-missile systems – which are already significantly linked. The US has intalled a radar in the Negev, pointed toward Iran and linked to Israel's Arrow anti-missile system.
While the radar is so sensitive it can detect a softball thrown into the air from thousands of miles away, only American officials are allowed to see what's on the screens, a safeguard likely meant to prevent Israel from striking Iran on its own – after all, the US' equipment can detect an Iranian missile six to seven minutes earlier than Israel's best radar.
US Joint Chiefs chairman General Martin Dempsey told reporters in London this week that a military strike could damage but not destroy Iran's nuclear capability, and added, "I don't want to be complicit if they choose to do it."
On Friday, the White House reiterated President Barack Obama's commitment to Israel's security, claiming that the US' ties with Israel have never been closer.
"I can simply say that, under President Obama, cooperation with Israel between our military and intelligence communities has never been closer," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters.
"Assistance provided to Israel by the United States has never been greater than it has been under President Obama."
The Pentagon refused to comment on the report at first, but later said that despite the changes made, the US-Israel exercise will still be the biggest ever.
The Pentagon further rejected the report as portraying the decision as a sign of US mistrust in Israel.
"The exercise has not changed in scope and will include the same types of systems as planned. All deployed systems will be fully operational with associated operators."
Miller said US-Israeli ties were strong and Austere Challenge "is a tangible sign of our mutual trust."
A US official declined to say how many US personnel would be involved in the exercise but said the reported figures were wrong and the change in scale was far smaller than indicated.
An Israeli defense official added that the drill "will be held on a similar scale as when it was last held, two years ago."
The Israeli official said the size of the exercise initially was slated to be larger but added that "the changes are within the framework of the drill's requirements and nothing more."
"These things are planned over a long time and changes are not uncommon," the official said.
Miller said the exercise initially was planned for May but earlier this year Israeli defense officials approached the United States about shifting the date until the late autumn.
"When the exercise was moved, the United States notified Israel that due to concurrent operations, the United States would provide a smaller number of personnel and equipment than originally planned. Israel reiterated to postpone until late fall," Miller said.

The purpose of the this machine is to perform intercell welding thru battery case partitions. Each 2 volt cell of a battery may be connected in series for a 6 or 12 volt rating.
An operator will enter in the type of battery on the line into the touch panel. The operator will also start, control, and reset the equipment from the touch panel. Batteries will enter the cell from an existing conveyor to the left. Batteries will travel on a powered conveyor and travel to an air operated stop. The conveyor will stop until the welding section is clear. When the section is clear, a clamp will hold the battery behind the one to be released. The position of this clamp is set by a linear actuator. The stop will open, and the battery will be indexed forward until it stops at the welding section stop. The conveyor will stop, and the base will raise to battery off the chains. Positioners from the sides will then come in to hold the battery in a known repeatable position. The battery is thus justified in position for welding. The robot will then move the welding head above the battery, and lower to each thru partition connection. The welder jaws close, and the weld controller operates the inverter transformer to provide a solid current carrying weld between the cells.

MSPs need to move beyond infrastructure hosting by offering customized, high-margin services to their customers. GPUs are getting a lot of attention as a means to accelerate application performance, but GPUs are financially out of reach for many companies. GPU-as-a-service is one potential source of new MSP revenue and a new level of customer satisfaction.
Let's first take a look at why GPU interest is rising. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning technologies are quickly becoming commonplace today and are shaping our experiences in computing like no other time in history. Interactive speech (e.g. Alexa, Google Home, etc.), Visual Search and recommendation engines are just a few of the consumer applications that are available today on our phones, websites and e-commerce platforms, and which leverage AI and Machine Learning.
The impact of Machine Learning is getting broader with enterprise applications in health sciences (e.g. Dr. Watson), finance, security, data centers and cyber surveillance. General-purpose CPUs cannot deliver the user responsiveness and inference latency required by complex deep learning and AI workloads. That's because – unlike GPUs built for this purpose – general-purpose CPUs are not designed to rapidly perform parallel operations on large amounts of data, e.g., multiplying matrices of tens or hundreds of thousands of numbers. Processing large data sets through the same hypothesized algorithm for learning and for intelligent inference is a fairly common operation in Machine Learning and deep learning applications, and GPU processing is an infrastructure requirement for such processing.
But GPUs are an expensive acquisition for most companies. Here's one example. With GPU cards that sit in a server costing thousands of dollars, companies are looking for alternatives to an outright purchase. Even though customers are looking at accelerating a range of applications beyond just AI and Machine Learning, they will want to test their GPU thinking, many of them without making a large up-front investment.
So, MSPs can offer GPU-as-a-service and allow companies to dial up GPU performance on demand and without a big Capex investment. This not only brings new revenue for the MSP from existing customers, but it's also a way to attract new customers. MSPs can carve up GPU costs and spread them out across a lot of customers.
ZeroStack's GPU-as-a-service capability gives customers powerful features to automatically detect GPUs and make them available in the ZeroStack environment. ZeroStack helps MSPs maximize investments in GPUs because admins can configure, scale, and allow fine-grained access control of GPU resources to end customers. End customers can enable GPU acceleration, deploy new Machine Learning and deep learning workloads with tools such as TensorFlow, Caffe, etc., and give those apps dedicated access to multiple GPU resources for order-of-magnitude faster inference latency and user responsiveness. End customers can access these applications with one-click provisioning through the ZeroStack AppStore.
AI and Machine Learning are hot new market spaces. MSPs can be heroes to their customers by enabling these applications in a secure, cost-controlled, and high-performance environment. GPU-as-a-service gives customers an easy and cost-effective entry to high-performance processing on demand and opens up compelling new revenue sources for MSPs.

Q: Convert binary files into ascii in Python I have a bunch of binary files that contain data in the following format:

These are supposed to be pressure sensor readings from when a person is walking, so I'm assuming that they are numbers, but I want to convert them into ascii so I have some idea what they are. How do I convert them? What format are they currently in?
EDIT: Link to file provided here (Link)

A: I'm absolutely shocked and stunned and not a little bit amazed at all the waffle like "you have letters like hh which shouldn't be part of a hex number" and "they seem to start making sense right at the first \x7f". Hasn't anybody seen any repr() output?
The following shows how it might have ended up like that, ignoring the \xff which seems to be just noise:
>>> pressure = [120,121,122,123,124,125,126,127,128,129,130,131]
>>> import struct
>>> some_bytes = struct.pack("12B", *pressure)
>>> print repr(some_bytes)
'xyz{|}~\x7f\x80\x81\x82\x83'
>>>

So let's try working back from the file:
>>> guff = open('your_file.bin', 'rb').read()
>>> cleaned = guff.replace("\xff", "")
>>> cleaned
'ihhhhhhihhhhhhhhhhiiijjjjjjjkkkkkklllmmmnnnonnoopopppqqrqrsstttttuvvuuvvvvwwxwx
xyyyyzz{z{||}|~}}}~~~~~\x7f\x7f\x7f\x7f\x7f\x7f\x7f\x80\x80\x80\x81\x81\x80\x81\
x81\x81\x82\x82\x82\x82\x82\x82\x83\x83\x83\x83\x83\x83\x84\x83\x84\x84\x85\x85\
x85\x86\x85\x86\x87\x87\x87\x87\x87\x88\x87\x88\x89\x88\x89\x89\x8a\x89\x8a\x8a\
x8b\x8b\x8b\x8b\x8c\x8d\x8d\x8d\x8d\x8e\x8e\x8e\x8f\x8f\x8f'
# Note that lines wrap at column 80 in a Windows "Command Prompt" window ...
>>> pressure = [ord(c) for c in cleaned]
>>> pressure
[105, 104, 104, 104, 104, 104, 104, 105, 104, 104, 104, 104, 104, 104, 104, 104,
 104, 104, 105, 105, 105, 106, 106, 106, 106, 106, 106, 106, 107, 107, 107, 107,
 107, 107, 108, 108, 108, 109, 109, 109, 110, 110, 110, 111, 110, 110, 111, 111,
 112, 111, 112, 112, 112, 113, 113, 114, 113, 114, 115, 115, 116, 116, 116, 116,
 116, 117, 118, 118, 117, 117, 118, 118, 118, 118, 119, 119, 120, 119, 120, 120,
 121, 121, 121, 121, 122, 122, 123, 122, 123, 124, 124, 125, 124, 126, 125, 125,
 125, 126, 126, 126, 126, 126, 127, 127, 127, 127, 127, 127, 127, 128, 128, 128,
 129, 129, 128, 129, 129, 129, 130, 130, 130, 130, 130, 130, 131, 131, 131, 131,
 131, 131, 132, 131, 132, 132, 133, 133, 133, 134, 133, 134, 135, 135, 135, 135,
 135, 136, 135, 136, 137, 136, 137, 137, 138, 137, 138, 138, 139, 139, 139, 139,
 140, 141, 141, 141, 141, 142, 142, 142, 143, 143, 143]
>>>

You'll still need to read the docs for the equipment to find out what is the scale factor to multiple those 0-254 values by.
You'll notice that the derived numbers change by +1, 0, or -1 each time. This fits comfortably with a hypothesis that it's only 1 byte per reading, rather than two or more bytes per reading.
Another thought: perhaps the \xff is a start or end sentinel, and there are two values (start, stop) or (sensor-A, sensor-B) being reported each cycle.

A: You can not guess the format by just opening up a binary file. You will have to get the information on the way data is stored for that particular pressure sensor readings.
Of course, when you know the format, it is easy to read the file in binary mode and then get all the meaningful data from it
FILE = open(filename,"rb")
FILE.read(numBytes)

A: The first part looks very strange.  Typically a number like \x8e is just a code for being a byte in hex, except in the first part you have letters like hh which shouldn't be part of a hex number.
But for the second part you can do something like:
hex_list = r"\x7f\xff\x7f\x7f\xff\x7f\x7f\xff\x7f\x7f\xff\x80\x80\xff\x80\x81\xff\x81\x80\xff\x81\x81\xff\x81\x82\xff\x82\x82\xff\x82\x82\xff\x82\x83\xff\x83\x83\xff\x83\x83\xff\x83\x84\xff\x83\x84\xff\x84\x85\xff\x85\x85\xff\x86\x85\xff\x86\x87\xff\x87\x87\xff\x87\x87\xff\x88\x87\xff\x88\x89\xff\x88\x89\xff\x89\x8a\xff\x89\x8a\xff\x8a\x8b\xff\x8b\x8b\xff\x8b\x8c\xff\x8d\x8d\xff\x8d\x8d\xff\x8e\x8e\xff\x8e\x8f\xff\x8f\x8f"
int_list =  [int(hex,16) for hex in hex_list.replace('\\', ';0').split(';') if hex != '']

Note you always get a number between 127 and 143, except for the 255 (the \xff).

Nebi Shu'eib is a huge mosque-like structure nestled at the base of the Horns of Hittin. The building houses the traditional tomb of Jethro, father-in-law of Moses, (Exodus 3:1) a prophet in the Druze tradition. The Druze religion believes that Jethro passed on rules about justice and righteousness to Moses. Both the Israeli flag and the Druze flag (comprised of five bands of color representing the five major Druze prophets as well as elements in nature) fly over the impressive complex. From the expansive courtyard there is a spectacular view of the Arbel Cliffs and Sea of Galilee. The complex was constructed as a place for Druze to congregate, particularly on April 25 each year to celebrate ziyara together, as well as a place of hospitality for all people. The chamber housing the tomb-marker dates back to the 3rd century, and travel reports from the 11th century mention the place as a holy site. The current building dates from 1880.
The Druze religion dates back to 10th century Egypt as an offshoot of the Ishmaili sect. While they are Arab culturally and use the Arabic language, they maintain separation from the mainstream Muslim and Christian Arabs in Israel. They are located primarily in southern Syria and northern Israel. They believe in the major prophets of the three monotheisms, and also incorporate elements of Buddhism into their theology, and highly esteem other historical figures including the major Greek philosophers and Alexander the Great.
The Druze are a non-prosyletizing religion because of their belief in reincarnation. They believe at some point in history all people had the chance to be Druze, so those that rejected the Druze religion could not accept it in a later reincarnation. They believe that Christianity, Judaism and Islam were corrupted by rituals, and therefore have no liturgy and virtually no rituals of their own. It is also a secret religion, where certain knowledge is reserved only for certain religious leaders, a feature thought to be incorporated from Shia Islam.
The Druze are loyal to whichever country they live in, and even fought on the side of Israel in war of 1948. While other Arab citizens of Israel are exempt from serving in the Israeli military, Druze citizens perform the same military service as Jewish Israelis. Druze are easily recognizable by their distinctive dress– the men wear white turbans and large, puffy Ottoman-style pants, the women cover their heads with a white cloth.
You will need appropriate dress in order to enter the complex– pants past the knee and shoulders covered. The tomb is just inside off the expansive patio. As in a mosque, you will need to remove your shoes and cover you head (there are scarves available as well as baseball hats and plaid shirts for modestly) in order to enter the tomb. Photography is not permitted in the tomb. The tomb-marker is covered by a green satin cloth, a color associated with Jethro. By the far wall there is a patch of stone that is said to be the footprint of Jethro. The western wall hosts a picture of the Druze leader Sheikh Amin Tarif.

The world has changed immeasurably over the last two years, and we all must evolve and adapt our strategies to enhance a transformative agenda for the advancement of the people of Liberia.
The United Nations Country Team in Liberia will continue to support the Government of Liberia in contributing to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals through joint efforts that focus on transformative flagship initiatives and building community resilience for the most vulnerable population with the principles of leaving no one behind.
Through the joint efforts of all the UN Agencies in Liberia, the UN strengthened the capacity of the Government to deliver essential COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 services that benefitted approximately 1,876,066 people. Key milestone achievement was made to increasing HIV testing and treatment services/uptake at national and sub -national level that reached 187,733 people living with HIV.
The UN supported efforts to increase women 's political participation and leadership in all spheres of Government by advocating the passage of the New Elections Law (Article 4.5) that enforces mandatory 30% gender quota for all political parties and women representation in the National Legislature.
Schoolchildren and their families received distance education or home -based learning assistance with take -home ration to increase their nutritional intake and learning outcomes during the COVID -19 pandemic.
Our task today is to build forward differently. This will not be possible without solidarity and ensuring that the recovery is inclusive.

June 21st was the four year anniversary of my daughter's father's suicide.
Every year around this time, I'm reminded of what mental illness and drug addiction does to people – and what it does to the friends and family of an addict. While drug addiction did not directly lead to my ex's death, I have always felt that he would have been more likely to have gotten help for his emotional issues, had he not struggled with drug addiction for the majority of his adult life.
If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, I want you to know that IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY.
I know that Angeline's father felt that there was no hope. He felt that he was at the point of no return…and that was the farthest thing from the truth.
During my life, I've seen drug addiction in many forms. I've seen a close family member struggle with an addiction to crack cocaine. He went into treatment and recovered – someone who thought he was completely without hope is now living a happy, normal, full life.

Director Robert Zemeckis has kicked off casting on his upcoming Roald Dahl adaptation The Witches, with Anne Hathaway signing on to portray Eva Ernst, better known as The Grand High Witch of All the World.
The new version of The Witches has been scripted by Zemeckis and his ImageMovers partner Jack Rapke and will follow a young boy who stumbles upon a coven of child-hating witches, led by Hathaway's Grand High Witch – a role previously portrayed by Anjelica Huston in the beloved 1990 movie.
According to reports, Zemeckis' version will be more faithful to the original source material, although it's been rumoured that it will shift the setting to Alabama in 1969, with the young boy and his grandmother portrayed by African American actors.
The project was originally set up as a directing vehicle for Guillermo del Toro, who remains on board to produce with fellow Oscar winner Alfonso Cuaron. As yet, there's no word on a potential release date.

Star Count 2019, organised by the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) gives people the opportunity to become 'citizen scientists' by taking part in a cosmic census that will help to map our dark skies.
The nationwide Star Count, which is also supported by the British Astronomical Association, goes live tomorrow, and will be running for the first three weeks of February (Saturday 2 February – Saturday 23 February). Stargazers, whether in town or countryside, will be asked to count the number of stars they can see (with the naked eye) within the constellation of Orion, which is only visible in the winter months.
As well as promoting dark skies and engaging people in the wonders of stargazing, CPRE aims to highlight the blight that light pollution – an issue often overlooked – is causing our dark skies, and its subsequent impact on people and nature.
Not only does light pollution prevent people from enjoying the beauty of a starry sky, it can seriously disrupt wildlife behaviour and badly affect people's sleeping patterns, impacting on physical and mental health and wellbeing.
'A dark sky filled with stars is one of the most magical sights our countryside has to offer, and for thousands of years our night sky has been a source of information, fascination and inspiration for all of humanity. Increasingly, however, too many people are denied the opportunity to experience this truly natural wonder.
The countryside charity will use the results from Star Count 2019 to create a new map to show how light pollution is affecting the nation's views of the night sky. CPRE's Night Blight maps, based on satellite data, showed that just 22% of England is untouched by light pollution, and that more than half of our darkest skies are over National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Through the Star Count, CPRE will be able to provide more detailed and up-to-date information on the impact that light pollution is having on people's experience of dark skies. Using this information CPRE will work with local and national Government to ensure that appropriate lighting is used only where it's needed – helping to reduce carbon emissions, save money, and protect and enhance our dark skies.

Kickoff for 2021 PFL tentatively postponed to September
The kickoff date for the 2021 Philippine Football League (PFL) has been tentatively postponed to 25 September 2021.
The initial kickoff date was supposed to be next week on 21 August 2021.

Food-centric Web video company Tastemade is looking to distribute local content to TVs around the world, and it's banking on Apple to help it get there.
The idea is to leverage Apple TV's global distribution combined with YouTube's global talent pool to build a vast worldwide network much faster than companies in the traditional TV business.
Tastemade, which received $25 million in funding last year from Scripps Networks Interactive and Liberty Media, was launched as something of a next-generation Food Network built on YouTube, featuring chefs and other cooking talent native to the Web. Last month, the company announced plans to distribute video via Spotify.
On March 24, Tastemade launched an app on Apple TV, making it one of the first multichannel networks to take that leap. Initially, the content featured on Tastemade's Apple TV app was entirely in English and was the same across the globe.
But a few weeks ago, Tastemade started delivering a customized version of the app to customers in Brazil, featuring local talent and videos shot in Portuguese--including clips from the YouTube channel I Could Kill For Dessert.
According to Tastemade founder Steven Kydd, the plan is to build customized versions of the Tastemade app region-by-region across the globe, and Japan is next. Mr. Kydd says that the company has already found plenty of local talent via YouTube--so they don't have to spend a lot to acquire content for these local versions. And the Apple TV deal affords Tastemade instant global distribution, as well as the ability to deliver specific content packages by geography.
Those factors allow for a rate of expansion that is historically unheard of in the TV business, Mr. Kydd argues, where so many big media companies spent decades creating regional versions of their networks, on the ground one country at a time. Tastemade, in contrast, just has to coordinate with Apple and not bother to negotiate with local pay-TV distributors.
"Having a dedicated app that is pre-installed on Apple TVs has been a game changer for the brand and the company," he said. And for both attracting talent and advertisers, there is a legitimacy that comes from being on TV vs. "just the Web," added Mr. Kydd. "It denotes a level of quality that is premium in nature."
That has certainly been the case for the team behind I Could Kill For Dessert. Being on TV, and being associated with Apple, "gives more value to our brand," said co-creator Paulo Cuenca. "All of the cool kids are there."

Biographical Directory of the U.S. Congress
John McKee
Herbert J. "Jim" Lewis, Birmingham, Alabama
John McKee (1771-1832), one of the first settlers of Tuscaloosa County, played an important role in transforming the southern frontier. He served as an agent for the federal government to the Choctaws, Chickasaws, and Cherokees, secured the support of the Choctaws and the Chickasaws during the War of 1812, and served as a commissioner during the negotiations of the Treaty of Fort St. Stephens in 1816 and the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek in 1830 with the Choctaws. In addition, McKee was the register of the United States Land Office in Tuscaloosa and represented Tuscaloosa in the U.S. House of Representatives.
McKee was born about 1771 to John (or James) McKee and Esther "Nannie" Houston, who were farmers on Buffalo Creek in Rockbridge County, Virginia (then part of Augusta County). Little is known about McKee's early life other than that he attended Liberty Hall Academy (now Washington and Lee University) in Lexington, Virginia, where he studied Greek and Latin before striking out for the southern frontier. In 1792, William Blount, governor of the Southwest Territory—which soon became the state of Tennessee—appointed McKee to survey the boundary established by the Cherokee Treaty of Holston, which had been signed on July 2, 1791. Although difficulties prevented completion of the survey, Blount sent McKee on a peacekeeping mission to the Cherokees in February 1793; by the next year, he had been appointed the territory's temporary Cherokee agent. McKee then accompanied five Chickasaw chiefs to Philadelphia to meet with President Washington in September 1793, after which he took up residence at Tellico Blockhouse, an American outpost on the Little Tennessee River, in an effort to keep peaceful relations with the Cherokees.
McKee obtained a license to practice law in the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions of Blount County in the Southwest Territory in January 1795 and was commissioned by Blount as a lieutenant colonel in the militia and appointed as the clerk of Blount County in August 1975. In 1797, the U.S. government commissioned him to go to Pensacola to discuss the payment of debts owed by the Choctaws to Panton, Leslie & Company. Shortly thereafter, McKee was appointed as the agent to the Choctaw nation, serving in that capacity from May 1799 until March 1802.
McKee later became involved in the intrigue surrounding the efforts by the United States to take control of the Floridas from Spain. The United States annexed parts of Spanish West Florida in 1810, claiming the area as part of the Louisiana Purchase. On January 26, 1811, Pres. James Madison sent McKee and George Mathews, the former governor of Georgia, to Florida to persuade the populace in West and East Florida to declare independence from Spain so that the United States could incorporate them into the Union. Their mission failed, possibly because McKee and Matthews were protecting their own business interests in the territory, primarily with Panton, Leslie & Company. Spain did surrender Mobile to the United States in April 1813, but East Florida did not become a part of the United States until 1821 through the Adams-Onis Treaty.
Hill of Howth, Greene County
In 1813, Gen. Andrew Jackson sent McKee to the Choctaws to ensure that tribe's loyalty to the United States as hostilities began to increase on the frontier between settlers and the Creeks. McKee also succeeded in recruiting Choctaw warriors to fight with the Americans against the Red Stick faction of the Creek nation during what would soon become the Creek War of 1813-14. McKee himself led a contingent of these warriors to attack what was left of a Creek town at the falls of the Black Warrior near Tuscaloosa. In April 1814, McKee once again was appointed U.S. agent to the Choctaws. McKee then recruited both Choctaw and Chickasaw warriors to fight with Jackson against the British. McKee, along with John Coffee and John Rhea, negotiated the Treaty of Fort St. Stephens on October 24, 1816, which required the tribe to cede 10,000 acres east of the Tombigbee River to the United States. Also in 1816, McKee built a house near Boligee in Greene County, which was referred to as the "Hill of Howth." This house served as his permanent residence until his death.
McKee continued to serve as the Choctaw agent until 1821, when he was appointed as the register of the U.S. Land Office in Tuscaloosa. In this position, McKee administered the sale of public lands in the western part of the new state. From March 4, 1823, until March 3, 1829, he represented the congressional district encompassing Tuscaloosa in the U.S. House of Representatives as a Jacksonian Democrat. Because of his experience as an Indian agent, McKee served on the House Committee on Indian Affairs. After his service in Congress, McKee was appointed as one of the commissioners who negotiated the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek, signed on September 27, 1830, whereby the Choctaws once again ceded territory to the United States, this time a large tract of land west of the Tombigbee River.
Biographies of McKee conflict as to whether he ever married. Some state that he did not, but others state that he married a Chickasaw woman and had a son named Alexander and a daughter named Alzira. When his will was probated in August 1832, the only bequests were to William P. Gould, reportedly a kinsman, and Alexander H. McKee, presumably his son. The probate record indicates that McKee died on August 12, 1832. He is buried in the Bethsalem Cemetery in Boligee.

Northern Ireland Trophy var en professionell rankingturnering i snooker som spelades under höstsäsongen i Belfast. Den spelades för första gången hösten 2005, som en inbjudningsturnering och blev en rankingturnering året därpå.

I huvudturneringen deltog 48 spelare, varav de 16 högst rankade stod över första omgången, som alltså i princip var den sista kvalomgången. Den spelades dock samma vecka som huvudturneringen, och inte (som annars är vanligast) några veckor före själva turneringen.

I 2007 års turnering slog Ronnie O'Sullivan ett rekord: Han blev i matchen i tredje omgången mot Allister Carter den förste att göra fem centuries av fem möjliga i en bäst-av-nio-match. Det tidigare rekordet var fyra, och innehades av Shaun Murphy, Peter Ebdon, Stephen Hendry och Tom Ford. Ett av O'Sullivans centuries var dessutom ett maximumbreak, hans sjunde i karriären. Senare under samma säsong gjorde han sitt åttonde och nionde maximumbreak, och slog därmed Stephen Hendrys rekord på åtta.
