Louise Hale
"Tobacco Kills"
Louise Hale was born in Montréal, where she lived until she moved to Toronto in 1990. She now lives with her musician husband, Brodie Lodge, and two "Border Collies Plus" in a circa 1840 farmhouse in a village near Delhi, in southern Ontario. Her never-ceasing creativity finds an outlet in music as well as art; Louise has sung with Brodie's band, the Corndogs, and later formed her own group, the Sweet Janes.
A self-taught artist with an unerring innate sense of colour and form, Louise creates stained glass pieces that are more akin to paintings than to conventional glass panels. The foremost landscape painter in the country, Doris McCarthy, has characterised her work as painterly, with pieces of glass taking the place of brushstrokes.
At first meeting, Louise can seem a bit otherworldly, even fey.... like the girl who ran away to join the circus. In fact, that is exactly what she did when she was a teenager, working as the Elephant Girl until an injury forced her retirement. Her beloved elephants are a recurrent image in her work.
Love of nature and rural architecture informs the art of Louise Hale. The tobacco kilns on the farms where she works during the summer to supplement her income are another frequent theme. Even her dogs, Luna and Peanut, have found their way into stained glass pieces!
Perhaps the most unusual feature of her technique is the inclusion of natural materials, such as leaves and flowers. Sandwiched between pieces of glass are entire beech leaves, Queen Anne's lace, even strips of tobacco leaves forming a border for a panel depicting old-fashioned kilns. Living not far from Lake Erie, Louise also makes extensive use of driftglass, sometimes creating entire pieces from bottle glass she has found on the beach.
From spare, monochrome panels reminiscent of quilt blocks to lush, exuberant paintings-in-glass of gardens peopled by elephants, butterflies, or birds of paradise, Louise Hale's stained glass pieces are expressions of abounding love of life, of nature, of colour, of balance.
A retrospective of Louise's work forms part of a current exhibition at the Norfolk Arts Centre in Simcoe.

CLAREMONT: The Trial
THE SENTENCING: 'Coward' Edwards likely to die in prison
After 20 years of hiding in plain sight, sadistic killer and brutal rapist Bradley Edwards will likely never leave jail and die without his freedom, after he was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum non-parole period of 40 years.
If he makes it that long, he will be 88, taking into consideration time served.
But that just means in 2060 he can apply for parole, it doesn't mean he'll be released.
As Justice Hall revealed his sentence, more than a year since his trial began and almost four years to the day since he was arrested, he told Edwards he would likely die in jail.
"You committed these offences as a much younger man and have had the undeserved benefit of your liberty for many years due to the fact that it took many years to identify you as the perpetrator," he said.
Those offences, he committed in his 20s, but one of his victims, who was 17 at the time bravely told of how the sadistic rapist's act 25 years ago changed her, but wouldn't define her. Her powerful words left even seasoned police officers holding back tears.
"the definition of a coward," The Karrakatta victim said.
"He preyed on weak, vulnerable young women who didn't stand a chance."
"How pathetic. It has been much easier in terms of impact to realise there was no evil genius at work here, he slipped through the cracks because he is unremarkable."
"And now I will leave this behind. I will leave this courtroom and finally go and live my life without you in it. I will live it joyously, respectfully and gratefully for myself, my family and for the lives that were lost. I will live and you won't."
"And as one of the victims of your crimes, I hope you are treated as well in prison as you have treated us."
Even though he didn't give a life without parole sentence, Lee Rimmer, Jane's sister said he was happy, and WA Police Commissioner Chris Dawson spoke for a community.
"It is my sincere hope, for the sake of the victims, for the sake of the families and friends and indeed for the safety of our community, that Edwards will never be released from prison," Mr Dawson said.
In this final podcast, Natalie Bonjolo, Tim Clarke, Alison Fan and Damien Cripps digest, analyse and take in the sentence - and the case that's gripped the state for more than two decades.

An experienced West Tyrone optometrist has confirmed what thousands of spectators have been saying for years; over four-fifths of referees need some form of eye enhancement, with many unable to see anything over ten yards ahead of them.
Although the news has caused some concern for officials, many supporters have developed a new-found respect for the man in the middle, with the realisation that they have been calling some correct decisions during matches even though they hadn't a notion what was happening.
"We're amazed that they get anything right. So, fair play to them. Some refs' eyesight is that bad that they get into the wrong car after a game. How they make it home is another miracle.
The Tyrone County Board have agreed to charge match-goers an extra pound during next year's league and championship games which will go towards buying over 3000 pairs of binned National Health glasses for referees in the county in 2019.
Joey Mackle, a Moy entrepreneur, has patented an elastic band which will be attached to the legs of the glasses and wound around the back of the referee's head. The bands will come in different sizes to cater for different sizes of heads.
Meanwhile, umpires have asked for similar glasses for next year. The county board will ask Mackle to look into making glasses with wipers for umpires who tend to look up a lot more. This can be difficult on rainy days or when there are a lot of birds about.
Despite hopes that a new approach for the traditional Christmas tree would catapult Strabane into a modern artistic stratosphere, public reaction to the unveiling of the 2016 'bare tree-on-a-pole' was somewhat muted at a gathering last night.
The unveiling, which was carried out by an aspiring actor from the town who has already been an extra on Game of Thrones, received applause from three in attendance, with most simply shrugging their shoulders and heading off for a pint.
Strabane Council stated that although it's not what people maybe expected to see, it was saving the council thousands on lights and baubles which will now be spent on a new slide for the middle of the town. They also called on Clady people not to laugh at it.

Bringing the Future of Shunt Technology
What is Hydrocephalus?
Hydrocephalus is the buildup of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the ventricular system of the brain. If not cleared out, this build-up could cause serious health related issues and potentially death. Hydrocephalus occurs at a rate of 2 out of every 1000 births, and is particularly dangerous for the pediatric population. The current standard of care is to remove excess fluid and implant a shunt, thereby connecting the ventricles to the peritoneal cavity and depositing the excess CSF there, where it can be reabsorbed.
The shunt device has a malfunction rate of 12.9% after 30 days, and 28.8% after one year - making its failure rate much too high for the non-communicative pediatric and geriatric patient demographic. These malfunctions can prove to be either deadly or permanently debilitating for a patient. Unfortunately, there is no method outside of physician assisted diagnosis for determining whether a shunt is malfunctioning. Shunt malfunctions typically manifest in the form of generic flu-like symptoms, making it difficult for a patient to assess whether their shunt is malfunctioning or they simply have the flu. Thus, patients often undergo an extensive diagnostic procedure which includes taking a patient history, imaging, and possibly invasive procedures. Because of this process, patients often incur unnecessary expenses only to realize that their shunt was not in fact malfunctioning. This is why our team has invented a solution that interjects before patients even arrive at the hospital. By including a sensor that detects the flow of cerebrospinal fluid through cerebral shunts, physicians are able to track a patient's shunt status remotely. Additionally, our product provides patients with immediate access to the state of their shunt which takes away the unnecessary stress that a malfunction could be occurring whenever a patient experiences any symptoms.

I came across a few of these last week - I just converted the script to perl, then called its decrypt function with the parameters grepped out of the vbs code, got the ip addresses and reported them.
This doesn't require a VM or having to execute the vbs, and completely ignores its timer!
There's no need to run the decryption function or run the VBS, the encoding they use is trivial: XOR encoding. First argument is the ciphertext in hexadecimal, second argument is the key in ASCII. Decoding/encoding starts with the second character of the key.
The sandboxes I'm referring to are those used for automatic scans. They often limit the execution time of the sample to a couple of minutes.
I know Didier, that's why I rewrote that function in perl so I could just pass the two arguments to it and get the results easily in a linux shell to pass to the next stages.
I've analyzed and reported some 240,000 of these malware mails, and identified and reported over 17,000 unique urls - I run a Linux cluster and can't/won't execute VBS, but have managed to automate analysis using yours and Philippe Lagadec's OLE tools, nodejs and my own code to defeat js/wsf/jse manage, distribute tasks and report to ISPs.

Maleficent 2 Trailer Arrives, Angelina Jolie Returns as the Mistress of Evil
The time is finally here. Though we're surprisingly getting this late in the day. The new teaser trailer for Maleficent 2:Mistress of Evil, a sequel to the global box-office hit Maleficent, has arrived.
Angelina Jolie and Elle Fanning reprise their roles as the dark fairy Maleficent and Princess Aurora, respectively. These two characters from the studio's animated classic Sleeping Beautyhad their untold story brought to life on screen in 2014's Maleficent. They are joined by Michelle Pfeiffer, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Sam Riley, Harris Dickinson, Ed Skrein, Imelda Staunton, Juno Temple and Lesley Manville.

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil hits theaters nationwide October 18, 2019! This fantasy adventure picks up several years after Maleficent, in which audiences learned of the events that hardened the heart of Disney's most notorious villain and drove her to curse a baby Princess Aurora.
The film continues to explore the complex relationship between the horned fairy and the soon to be Queen as they form new alliances and face new adversaries in their struggle to protect the moors and the magical creatures that reside within.
The film is directed by Joachim Rønning from a story by Linda Woolverton and a screenplay by Linda Woolverton and Micah Fitzerman-Blue & Noah Harpster, the film is produced by Joe Roth, Angelina Jolie and Duncan Henderson with Matt Smith, Jeff Kirschenbaum and Michael Vieira serving as executive producers.
In the original, a beautiful young woman of pure heart known as Maleficent (Angelina Jolie) had an idyllic life in a forest kingdom. When an invading army threatened the land, Maleficent rose up to become its fiercest protector. However, a terrible betrayal hardened her heart and twisted her into a creature bent on revenge. She engaged in an epic battle with the invading king's successor, then curses his newborn daughter, Aurora,- realizing only later that the child holds the key to peace in the kingdom. It's possible that the sequel could further expand the Sleeping Beauty myth, since that character is one of the few not directly getting the Disney live-action treatment.
Maleficent: Mistress of Evil is arriving timed to the Halloween movie going season, and will surely be one of this fall's biggest releases. It is one of the few scary movies aimed at children of all ages, and should dominate the horror landscape, though MGM is also getting in on the kid friendly Halloween spectrum a week earlier with their animated The Addams Family movie, which should also do quite well for itself. Maleficent 2 will be directly competing with Zombieland: Double Tap and Blumhouse's action horror thriller The Hunt.
Disney dropped some images from Maleficent: Mistress of Evil as well as the trailer, which comes direct from Walt Disney Studios.


We are excited to have already raised $2,236,482 toward our goal of $2,600,000! Thanks to all who have given generously.
You can help us reach our goal. Contact barbara@clifftemple.org to make a 3-year pledge, adjust your pledge, or make a special gift to the campaign. We believe and expect God can help us reach our goal.
To provide funding to improve existing Cliff Temple campus structures in order to create greater accessibility, hospitality and functionality for future ministries.
120 years ago God began a new church in Oak Cliff with a handful of believers. The foundation of our church was simple: "Jesus only." Our heartbeat has always been serving our community in His name. Cliff Temple flourished through the building of our sanctuary in the 1930's with an outpouring of generosity and faithfulness. In the decades to follow, the Word was preached with passion as thousands were baptized and discipled. Missionaries were sent out and lives were changed. We remained faithful through decades of challenge, expanding ministries to low-income families and at-risk teens. In the 1980s, there was talk in Dallas of "the miracle in Oak Cliff" as our great, established church experienced renewal and undertook a major facility renovation. In the 1990s and 2000s the church remained faithful, launching new ministries such as The Well to serve people living with severe mental illness. Through many changes, we have been privileged to be a part of God's unfolding dream for our community — of lives transformed, men and women from all walks of life welcomed and loved, young people supported and raised in the knowledge of God's grace, senior adults receiving care and help, and those who are hungry being fed.
Today, still serving on 10th and Zang in the heart of Oak Cliff, we have great expectations that God is doing a new thing. Our community is rapidly changing. For many years, visionaries, business leaders and everyday residents dreamed of renewal in our neighborhood. As new apartments are built, new businesses are launched, and old buildings are renovated, together we're seeing those hopes becoming reality.
Cliff Temple has great expectations as well: that God will renew our fellowship, expand our impact, and use us for God's glory for decades to come. Our expectations for the future aren't focused on buildings. They're focused on people. It's all about relationships. We want to see men and women — children, youth and adults — come together. We want to see people baptized, discipled and sent out in the power of the Holy Spirit in order to be a blessing for North Oak Cliff and throughout the City of Dallas.
As we remodel space, we expect that God will help us to disciple more children and youth so that they can live out the missionary life, loving God and others more deeply. We expect that our enhanced worship and classroom space will be better utilized to equip adults to reach people in places where they live, work and play.


This movie changed me when I was a teenager. It made me realize the power that a movie can have…There are just a few movies that have moved me and this was one of them…Platoon was another. I had seen violence before on the screen but this was realistic and brutal…especially when you are a 15 year old viewing it for the first time.
I love the soundtrack especially the music that was performed on a Moog synthesizer and it set the tone for the film. I'm not giving a synopsis of the movie…there are plenty of books and internet sites that do that… but a movie that will change you does its job and more.
The scenes that stick with me are the record shop scene, the Billyboy gang fight, Singing in the Rain and of course the eye scene… The record shop scene was filmed in the Chelsea Drugstore… I would love to have a room like that place. Very 60's-70s futuristic…immortalized in the Stones "You Can't Always Get What You Want"…The building is now sadly a McDonalds…modern progress?
This movie runs the gamut…cruelty, horror, the absurd, violence, pity, and justice. This movie, in my opinion, shows that evil exists in all of us and what happens if we would let it take over. Also, I think the movie shows you that no one can change someone's nature no matter what drugs or treatment you may give them outside of a lobotomy. Treatment and drugs may slow them down but their nature is not going to change.
This movie has been analyzed to death and rightly so. It could have only been made in the time period it was made. I can't imagine this movie coming out now.
Very good review as well!

You can buy home, business and optional auto insurance from private insurers. Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI), a government-run insurer, sells mandatory auto insurance through what is known as the Saskatchewan Auto Fund.
Mandatory basic auto insurance – which includes accident benefits, compulsory minimum third-party liability ($200,000) and coverage for damage to your own vehicle subject to a deductible – must be bought from SGI.
Additional auto insurance coverage – that, for example, reduces basic deductibles and increases third-party liability limits – can be purchased from private insurers.


When you look on this code at first time, you probably think that this is not too bad. Class isn't to long. It have about 25 lines. Methods are short. Maybe 5 – 6 lines. Is only one public method. Everything looks OK, so what do we do here?
In this code is bug. When user want to login and send correct email but wrong password, method returns status :created. This mean that user is correctly login. But this is not true, because Session for user wasn't created.
So, how we can deal with this bug? First we create a test, which show us this bug.
Test failed. Now we can closely look to this code.
Something strange happened in this line. We call method respond_to and in this method we call render. On first look we don't see this because render is hidden in render_user method. So, I decide to remove this method and move render to create method in our controller. For now I create method user where I set correctly user.
Now bug is fixed. Test passed. Everything is OK, right? We can stop at this point and go to another challenge.
Let's think. When we leave code at this moment, what can happen?
Code is great and no one come back here (It is small chance for this).
Code is not so good and someone will back here to do refactoring.
Why we cannot do this refactoring? We can try leave this code better then we found.
Tests are still passing. I think this code is better than before but it is not perfect. We can think why we let @user to be nil (when we use find_by method)? I leave here find_by not find or find_by! because this two methods give me exception which I don't want. ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound exception give me status :not_found but I want :unprocessable_entity status.
If you not seen I recommend to look on Sandi Metz presentation about Null Object Pattern (RailsConf 2015 – Nothing is Something). We can here create something like TrustedUser and use everywhere objects without checking nil. Then we can come back to simply render and set token in create method. Let's we see how this can look.
We can now think about moving token setting to model but I stop my refactoring here. You can do this if you want. But I think the hardest thing about this is question: Have this change value for me? Answer depends on you.
If you have any suggestion what can we change here. Please leave me a comment down below. I hope this was useful. Bye and see you next time.

Review: I'm not turning the dial on 'Dawn FM'
It's time to step into the light and tune in to the Weeknd's 'Dawn FM'
The Weeknd's "Dawn FM" combines '80s synth and modern pop to generate a unique cinematic experience. Illustration originally published Friday, Jan. 14, 2022.

While "After Hours" is still breaking records after nearly two years since its release, "Dawn FM," The Weeknd's fifth studio album released Jan. 7, is the continuation of the series of heartbreak albums released in the 2021.
If getting a divorce was the authentic Adele experience and having your favorite scarf stolen by an ex was the revolution from Taylor Swift's re-recording of "Red," devoting your heart to a parasitic relationship while feeling a little jazzed would be what the raw feeling of "Dawn FM" is equivalent to experiencing.
Setting the stage with the fictional radio station 103.5 Dawn FM, the album features songs that combine the lyrical masterpiece of an '80s love ballad with the modern funk-pop beats of club music from the '00s.
The Canadian singer-songwriter produced an album so good that it's bound to have fans forgiving him for canceling his "After Hours" tour. With a sound reminiscent of an electro-synth Marvin Gaye album, The Weeknd takes bold risks in mashing musical genres in a revolutionary way.
Its rhythm rings in a brand new era, and we've been in the dark way too long. It's time to step into the light and tune in to the Weeknd's "Dawn FM."
In the song "How Do I Make You Love Me?" The Weeknd grants fans an insight to his inner struggle between "seeking approval, begging for it desperately," yet recognizing the object of his affection isn't phased by his existence. He's pining over a dead-end road.
We've all been there. We don't talk about it.
In a near-seamless transition between "How Do I Make You Love Me" and "Take My Breath," you can get lost in just how artistically this album was crafted.
Introducing the earlier released single from the album, "Take My Breath" slides in with rapid breaths that turn into the head-bobbing guitar beats of the fourth track.
It scratched an itch in my brain I didn't realize existed; the tension The Weeknd built up through the entirety of "Dawn FM" burst so effortlessly as the chords played on.
Whatever ruthless emotions The Weeknd invoked with the 16 tracks on this meticulously crafted album, he undoubtedly injected a drug into every chord, beat, lyric and melody.
Somehow, the same album with lyrics that viciously tore me apart could also remedy my ripped heartstrings through its soothing sounds.
A prime example of this is the seventh track on the album, "Out of Time." How did this man write the lyrics "you begged me with your drowning eyes to stay," and "I'll love you like I shoulda loved you all the time" while implying that we're Out. Of. Time. and expect us to be OK after that?
"Out of Time," followed by the abrupt radio message that flows so gently into "Here We Go… Again," once again reminds me that Abel Makkonen Tesfaye is not a real human being.
Reminiscent of "Save Your Tears" from his fourth studio album, "Less Than Zero" delivers a staple track that makes me feel like I'm in a dream I never want to wake up from.
Reminiscent of his fourth studio album "Save Your Tears," "Less Than Zero" delivers The Weeknd's staple track that makes me feel like I'm in a dream I never want to wake up from.
To end the euphoric trip that was the entirety of "Dawn FM," The Weeknd ends this masterpiece with a Dr. Seuss-esque piece voiced by Jim Carrey.
Something about hearing Carrey ask "was it often a dissonant chord you were strumming? Were you ever in tune with the song life was humming?" was not only a prompt kick to the stomach, but it was also a glorious end and ode to the rest of the album.
I never thought I'd be brought to tears by the same voice as Horton from the 2008 masterpiece "Horton Hears a Who" telling me that "your phantom regret hasn't let it go yet," and that "all specters are haunted by their own lack of trust," but here we are.
A post shared by The Weeknd (@theweeknd)
It's always hard to put into words how music makes you feel; it's why sounds were made to be so expressive. However, I'm a firm believer that every pore of the album is filled to the brim with so much emotion that it's hard not to mirror the feeling of being an open nerve.
"Dawn FM" has earned its place as one of my all-time favorite albums. Not just because of the way The Weeknd mashes genres in a way that should be criminal, but also because of his lyrical portrayal of the complexity in relationships.
The Weeknd's songs explore the wicked romantic fallouts, the toxicity of forbidden attraction, and the gritty, poisonous addiction of love. For that I have to commend him.
I part this review with the last words of the album, "May peace be with you," because I can tell you with concrete certainty that the last thing this album made me feel was peace.
Listen with enjoyment.

Soundscapes, psychogeography, and a peach of a poem at The Other Room
Thursday 19th February 2015 1:33 pm (first posted 12th February 2015)
I thought it was time for another visit to The Other Room in Manchester, and chose a night of very enjoyable but almost indescribable work at this welcoming home of experimental poetry. As Americans say, "You had to be there." But here goes.
Joanne Ashcroft, pictured, read two long-form pieces. 'Love Songs For Mina Loy' was clever but hard to fathom on first hearing. Loy was a British polymath, poet and writer who mixed with the likes of Gertrude Stein and Ezra Pound, joined the Futurists and wrote a series of love songs/poems.
Ashcroft's poetry explores sound and rhythm, and this piece emerged as both fragmented yet lyrical, strange but also somewhat familiar. My neighbour in the audience remarked that he enjoyed it but wanted to go home and look up some of the words she used.
I enjoyed her second piece more. 'What The Tree Said' is a work in progress, an enthralling soundscape, with particulate emphasis on key words (rooted, rooting etc) and repeated use of the prefixes un- and en- (which reminded me of the analysis of Thomas Hardy's poem Drummer Hodge and its use of the word 'un-coffined" in Alan Bennett's play The History Boys - a diversion I know, but it sprang out at me).
Joanne won the Poetry Wales Purple Moose Prize 2012. Her pamphlet Maps and Love Songs for Mina Loy, which evolved from responses to sounds in Mina Loy's work, is available from Seren. She is a member of the Poetry and Poetics Research Group at Edge Hill University, and teaches undergraduate poetry and fiction at Edge Hill.
New York City-based poet, collaborator and artist, EJ McAdams was intriguing. He is inspired by nature, ecology and word puzzles and patterns, and his work prompted by a walk in New York City at the time of the Occupy Wall Street protest was a successful blend of photography, video and poetry - psychogeography meets verse. The poem he composed on a trip to Indonesia channelled through Google Translate was effective, and his quietly humorous and gentle presentation was a winning formula.
I thought the most effective writer of the evening was Tokyo-born Lila Matsumoto, now in Scotland after being brought up in the US. She has collaborated with video artists and composed work inspired by other art forms, including Scottish artist Philip Maltman, and uses music with some of her visual representation of words. Her kitchen poem about foods including peaches, pancakes and fondant cake was simply delicious. She edits scree online magazine and runs a poetry and music performances series. Her first collection of poetry is due from Sad Press this spring.
The Other Room is hosted by Tom Jenks, Scott Thurston and James Davies at the wonderful Castle pub, Oldham Street, Manchester. Next date is 30 April for the seventh birthday event.

Q: Unify Authentication I have a challenge in my job. We have two applications with different functionalities, which I need to unify authentication.
The solution we thought was to create a page that will redirect to the chosen application. The thing is, i have no idea how to unify these authentications.
Can someone help me?
The applications are using angularJs and java

A: What I would suggest is to separate the identity function as a separate service and let both the services use the identify service to authenticate and authorize.

The series "quaderni di matematica" is planned as a sequence of thematic volumes, each presenting one or more papers that deal with relevant problems in the same branch of mathematical research. The collected papers in each issue, further than new and meaningful results in their field, should also offer an uptodated picture of at least the recent researches about the problems they treat, together — if possible — with a quick look to their origin and relevance. Accordingly, will be published in the volumes of the Series only those papers whose Authors will have been explicitly invited by an Editor appointed by the Editorial Board, composed of the professors of the Department of Mathematics of the Second University of Naples.

The iOS Finance Apps of the Near Future
August 11, 2020 by Apple Gazette Leave a Comment
It's fair to say that 2020 has changed the way a lot of people look at personal finance. A global economic crisis has a way of shaping the ways in which people plan to save, consider investment, and even manage day-to-day spending. And we may still only be in the early stages of seeing these feelings develop.
The unfortunate fact is that we're not out of the woods yet when it comes to the aforementioned crisis. Many industries have been affected in a way that will take them years to recover from, and the majority of investors fear another crash before things truly start to turn around. This means that tricky economic circumstances will surround us for some time yet. And it stands to reason that if this is the case, we'll inevitably begin to see new apps (or at least newly popular ones) emerging to accommodate shifting financial strategies. The finance category in app stores today is already crowded and seems to expand by the day. Now, however, there's clear reason to expect several specific types of apps to surface as people look for ways to cope with the current conditions.
Rainy Day Fund App
Already, there are some incredible personal finance apps that can help people to take charge of their money in a comprehensive, detailed manner. These apps can track expenses, manage budgets, enhance savings, and in some cases even recognize and help to analyze habits. We predict, however, that the 2020 crises will lead to another feature within these apps, if not another type of personal finance app altogether: rainy day fund management. For many people, the idea of having a little bit of money set aside for an emergency has never been more sensible or appealing. As a result, we expect to see more apps specifically designed to help people funnel savings into a digital account meant for this purpose.
Savings Advice Apps
Somewhat similar to the rainy day fund concept is the idea that apps could take a more active role in shaping saving strategies. The best of the personal finance apps already available have strong savings components and are designed to help people spend less than they make. Now, however, as people grow more protective of their wealth and more determined to save, it will be helpful to have apps that actually advise in this category. In some cases, this might mean a degree of intelligence meant to assess habits and recommend areas in which people can save (something that some existing apps more or less accomplish). In other cases though, we envision apps that create savings by setting aside money that's cut from expenses. For instance, if a user cancels a subscription for saving purposes, the app could take that money and set it aside. This would give users a better feel for what they're actually saving, and what they can do with that money.
Forex trading is already available via some apps. As more investors become uneasy with turbulent, post-outbreak stock exchanges though, alternative trading options like the foreign exchange may well gain popularity. And as more people approach forex, many will be drawn to the popular concept of CFD trading — something not as widely available in current apps, but which can be particularly appealing to more conservative investors. A CFD forex trade is one in which a contract is drawn up between the trader and the brokerage service (or in this hypothetical case, app). The contract will stipulate that the trader will put in a certain amount of money, and profit if he or she correctly projects the direction of a currency's value. It's ultimately just one example of an alternative trade. Because of its simplicity and lack of attachment to stock exchanges though, it's certainly something we could imagine becoming more popular as a mobile investment.
Gold Trading Apps
As you may have read if you're curious about finance in 2020, gold's recent rally has taken it to some of its highest prices in recent history. This has strongly reinforced many traders' belief that gold can succeed when all else fails. As a result, it's likely that we will see even more traders buying into this idea, and purchasing gold. To be clear, gold investment apps already exist. But if the asset becomes trendier in the months ahead, we expect there may be some fresher, more modern apps emerging in this category. Here too, in fact, we could see apps promoting different methods of gold purchasing — such a CFDs or mining stocks — as well.
Gig Apps
Last but not least, expect to see a spike in "gig" work apps. Unfortunately, the events of 2020 have led many to lose work, and as a result, many are looking for supplemental income. This is a category that already exists, and which helps people to make a little bit of extra money every day. But with millions of people having lost jobs, there is a massive new market for gig apps — which means there will almost inevitably be new apps emerging to serve that market. So in this case, we simply expect to see more options sprouting up in a category that's already well established.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: Permian falls to Southlake Carroll in area round By Michael Bauer mbauer@oaoa.com, 432-333-7772 Odessa American
by Michael Bauer
ABILENE The Permian football team saw its 2020 season come to a close with a 38-7 loss to Southlake Carroll in the area round of the Class 6A Division I playoffs Friday at Abilene Christian University.
The Dragons (9-1) advanced to face Arlington Martin in the regional quarterfinals, while the Panthers finished the season at 8-3.
Southlake Carroll dominated the first half and never looked back.
" I'm super proud of the way we attacked this week," Southlake Carroll coach Riley Dodge said. "Our guys did an amazing job and I'm very proud of our defense and the way they shut things down."
The Dragons took advantage of their opening possession, bringing the ball downfield and scoring when quarterback Hunter Holden connected with wide receiver RJ Maryland for a 22-yard touchdown for an early 7-0 lead, moving the ball 68 yards in just four plays.
" First of all, great job by Southlake Carroll," Permian coach Jeff Ellison said. "They're a good football team.
" I'm proud of our kids and they fought through this season."
The Panthers were forced to punt on their next possession and the Dragons wasted no time in getting to the end zone, with Brady Boyd scoring on a 52-yard reception from Holden, putting Southlake Carroll ahead, 14-0, just 4:28 into the game.
Southlake Carroll would have to settle for a 26-yard field goal by Joe McFadden with 3:29 on the clock and the Dragons ended the first quarter with a 17-0 lead.
Permian's offense struggled, hampered by penalties throughout the first half.
The Dragons continued their hot start in the second quarter, with the Holden-Boyd connection working again, this time on a 34-yard touchdown pass with 10:57 remaining to play in the first half to give Southlake Carroll a 24-0 lead.
The Panthers defense then began to reverse the momentum, pinning the Dragons deep in their own territory and forcing a punt. Permian, however, was called for a roughing the punter penalty to keep Southlake Carroll on the field.
Permian continued to pressure Hayden and it paid off with an interception by Joaquin Gonzalez, but the Panthers were unable to capitalize on the short field
The Dragons added another score before the end of the half when a pass to Boyd from 4 yards out increased the lead to 31-0 with 34 seconds remaining in the second quarter.
Allen scored on a 47-yard run on the Dragons' first possession of the third quarter and things did not get any easier for the Panthers, who finally got a rushing touchdown from Lucas Salazar to avert the shutout.

Mayor Bill de Blasio addresses police-community relations after Eric Garner death
Thursday, July 31, 2014 10:12 PM EDT
Mayor Bill de Blasio hosted a roundtable on police-community relations following the death of a Staten Island father while in police custody.
NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton, Rev. Al Sharpton, Staten Island clergy members and residents attended the meeting at City Hall to comment on the death of Eric Garner.
Garner's death was caught on video, which shows him being brought down by an officer in an apparent chokehold, sparking a citywide uproar over police tactics. Garner was under arrest for allegedly selling untaxed cigarettes.
Bratton met with the president and CEO of the NAACP Wednesday to discuss how to move forward after what happened to Garner. He said, "The NYPD is committed to building relationships with grassroots organizations, such as the NAACP, to ease tension in our communities as we begin a major reform of the department's training and policies."
Community groups however say new department rules and training are not enough. They believe a lack of accountability has allowed police officers to take strong and sometimes deadly action against civilians.
Many local elected officials are also demanding that officers wear video cameras. They wrote a group letter to the mayor saying in part, "Without video footage, the story of Eric Garner's death may have never been told." They added, "These cameras will serve as a check on potential civil rights violations and protect police officers from false allegations of misconduct."
