Douglas' Delight
Barry Douglas says he is delighted to have scored during Wolves' 4-1 win over Leeds United on Wednesday but admits that the three points are the most important thing.
Douglas scored the first of Wolves' four goals at Molineux from a superb free kick.
The left wing back reveals that free kick are something that he practices in training - he was delighted to see his effort find the back of the net.
Douglas began, "Thankfully I've got one - I practice in training but we've actually not had many this season but I got one and it hit the back of the net.
"It was a wee bit wider than I normally practice in training but anywhere about that area I feel confident - it's just nice to finally get one and hit the back of the net."
Douglas returned to the Wolves side following serving a one game suspension for the trip to Reading last Saturday.
The 28 year old says he has sympathy for Ruben Vinagre, who he replaced, however admits that everyone will be needed to contribute throughout the season.
"It goes the strength in depth in the squad that we've got guys who can come in and do well," Douglas continued.
"Last week the boys were brilliant and got the result, it's just unfortunate for Ruben (Vinagre) that I've come back into the side.
"It's about the team at the end of the day, it's a long season and we need everyone to chip in.
"It's going well but I can't get ahead of myself - it's going to be a long season and it's nice to contribute but as long as we're getting the wins, that's all that matters.
"From a personal point of view, it's nice to be involved in goals and assists and long may it continue.
"It's nice to bop in and take the pressure off the strikers and the forward guys.
"It doesn't really matter who scores just as long as we get the win and keep progressing.
"They aren't always going to be on form and scoring goals so it's nice for other people to chip in and contribute - that just shows the quality we've got throughout the whole squad, we don't rely on one or two people to pull us through."
Wolves led 2-0 at half time against Leeds before the visitors pulled a goal back just after half time.
Leeds were then reduced to ten men as Ronaldo Viera received a second booking.
Douglas says that it can sometimes be more difficult playing against ten men, but felt that Wolves coped with it well.
"We didn't let conceding a goal affect us, we just stuck to our game plan and got the ball down and played - we created chances and go the goals.
He said, "It's sometimes difficult playing against one less man - other teams can come into the game more.
"We kept the ball, retained possession and I think they found it difficult to try and get out.
"It was important that we then went and punished them, and thankfully we did that.
"It's a nice position to be in but we're taking it one step at a time - we focus on the next game now and keep going."

Litigating Health Risks: Assessing The Impact Of Legal Services To Combat Housing And Neighborhood-Related Health Risks
Hernandez, Diana.pdf (2.209Mb)
Hernandez, Diana
The present dissertation considers the interaction between housing and neighborhood challenges that trigger health risks and examines the effectiveness of legal services as a resource tool for at-risk families in improving child and family health. This dissertation offers a detailed analysis of the home and neighborhood contexts based on 72 ethnographic interviews with low-income mothers residing in an inner-city neighborhood- Dorchester, MA. This project is also nested within a larger program evaluation of the Medical Legal Partnership for Children (MLPC) program administered through Boston Medical Center and three community health centers in Dorchester, where respondents were recruited. In the MLPC program, physicians refer patients, when their health problems seem to be caused by something housing-related, to in-house legal services to help address the housing problem and which in due course reduce health risks present in the home environment via legal enforcement. The quasi-experimental design of this study compares 36 families who have used MLPC services to address housing-related legal problems, while the remaining 36 families had similar demographic characteristics (in that they were low-income Dorchester residents) and housing problems but did not have access to the MLPC program through the health center where their children received medical/health services. This dissertation consists of three substantive papers that highlight various aspects of the study findings. The first paper describes the potential of law to act as a mediator between poor housing and poor health. The second paper discusses the theoretical framework of legal consciousness as it relates to within group differences among marginalized group members. The third paper is an empirically grounded account that compares problem-solving strategies employed by low-income families to cope with and manage everyday problems, particularly those related to housing. In the overall conclusion, I discuss the relevance of this dissertation with respect to its scholarly contributions and offer several policy recommendations. As a whole, this dissertation contributes to a better understanding of how the deliberate use of legal services may provide an opportunity to enhance coping strategies that maximizes the resource capacity and improves the living conditions of poor families.

No one is sure whether Anthem and the Justice Department can hash out a settlement before the federal case to block the insurer's $54 billion acquisition of Cigna Corp. goes to trial in November.
Doubters about the $48 billion Anthem-Cigna merger have been in abundance from the start—both on antitrust grounds and on concerns over cultural fit.
Circle City Outdoor has acquired 13 area billboards as a result of an antitrust arrangement seeking to keep the market competitive for advertisers.
Anthem Inc.'s proposed merger with Cigna Corp. would reduce health-care competition and raise costs for consumers, U.S. antitrust lawyers will argue Monday when the government goes to court to try to block the transaction.
European antitrust officials decided this month to launch a full-blown investigation into the proposed merger Dow Chemical Co. and DuPont Co.
A merger between two international cement companies—and a related antitrust investigation by the Federal Trade Commission—has put an east-side Indianapolis facility under new ownership.
The proposed merger of Dow Chemical Co. and DuPont Co. would create the world's largest agricultural-products company. But that's bad news for farmers, according to some farm groups and antitrust experts.
Lots of investors are betting health insurance giants Anthem Inc. and Cigna Corp. won't ever make it to the altar—an outlook driven by concerns antitrust regulators or other obstacles will prevent consummating the $45 billion deal.
Assistant Attorney General William Baer said that consumer choice is a bigger priority than health companies' desire to add market share and gain leverage over providers like hospitals.
Staff attorneys at the U.S. Justice Department's antitrust division are nearing a recommendation to block Comcast Corp.'s bid to buy Time Warner Cable Inc., according to people familiar with the matter.
Sysco, with annual revenue of about $44 billion, is the top operator in the U.S. food distribution business. Adding No. 2 US Foods would create a corporation in charge of at least a quarter of the North American market.

Q: as3 object values NativeText updated - if anyone is trying to return text values with NativeText a StageText wrapper. they will need to edit;
https://github.com/cantrell/StageTextExample/blob/master/src/NativeText.as
add a public get function -
public function get text():String {
return this.st.text;
}

then you can return the NativeText values normally -
nt.text

A: I followed the link in @shaunhusain's comment, and did some reading:
NativeText is a wrapper he wrote, you can look at the class on github:
https://github.com/cantrell/StageTextExample/blob/master/src/NativeText.as
If you read this class, you'll notice that it has a setter method for setting the text, but it does not define a getter.  This explains your error message:

Access of possibly undefined property text through a reference with static type NativeText

The logical solution is to add the getter method. If you read the comments on the blog post that @shaunhusain linked to, you'll see that someone else had this very same problem. This appears to have worked for them (I haven't tried it):
public function get text():String
{
    return this.st.text;
}

A: Adding a getter in the way you described above worked for me :)
However, I do feel like I have to be cautious because maybe there's a reason Cantrell didn't put the getter method in.

I read this story in the N&O this morning, and all I can say is someone there needs to take a basic math class. One headline says the 65+ population will "double," but the story itself says it would grow "by 200%" (which effectively means it will triple). I'm not sure which it is, but I guess either way it's a lot.
Good thing the number of Bojangles are increasing as well. The youngin's may edge out the majority just yet!
What the builders are building is expensive. I guess they assume that the elderly have money (and many do). But, in 20 years, we will have most new retirees end their careers without pensions.
Our whole country is experiencing this kind of senior growth. Women delaying having babies because of careers, economics, and old folks living longer because of advanced medicines, etc is the main reason. In some countries people are actually being paid to have children because the ages are not at all balanced.
Instead of building nursing homes and assisted living, I think builders should be focusing on single level homes for lots of folks. I don't particularly like age restrictions for neighborhoods as I like the energy and fun of children. And older folks are not the only folks who like no stairs.
If I'm not mistaken, a recent trend is to have first-floor master bedrooms, correct? That's not the same as single-story homes, but everyone "needs" lots of square footage these days, and given impervious surface regulations and land costs, it's not as economical to build one story as multiple stories.
Bingo. My neighborhood is fairly large two story homes almost all with first floor masters. Most are 2800-3100 sq foot. Many have both up and down masters with full baths. Works out well for space and flexibility. It also helps to deal with the changes that are happening in families as economics force parents and their children and in many cases their children's families to live under one roof.
no offense to the older folks, but I can't wait for the retiring wave to start...job market is way too saturated with people 50+ !!!
job market is way too saturated with people 50+ !!!
That's what those of us over 50 say about the ones under 50.
Assuming they mean double, this is pretty close to the growth rate of the area overall. 3.5% a year growth for 20 year means that population will double, both 65+ and under. That's impressive growth, but it's a problem for everyone not just seniors.
If they mean triple, that's a slightly different story. In that case, it means that the the 65+ population is growing by something like 1.5x the rate of the rest of the population. That's a more interesting problem.
But without knowing where this projection is coming from and what the growth rate actually is it is hard to speculate about a solution.
The crisis coming is not folks over 65 who are eligible for Social Security and Medicare but those in their 50's who are unemployed and their insurance is expiring etc etc. Where is the local infrastructure for them? I was on the river in downtown Wilmington a two weeks ago during a week day. That very nice area during a week day was populated by people who worked there (expected) older visitors (expected) homeless people (not expected). The homeless appeared to be about 50% of the folks on the street. There was a line to get in both public rest rooms along the river. Another person waiting in line explained that it was normal to have lines as homeless people were often using it to clean up and some were in line. They were not your traditional homeless people in that they appeared well spoken and their clothes were recently nice and not as well worn. They were as well groomed as could be expected and very willing to engage in conversation. What gave them away was the fact that they were carrying their possessions with them. Had I not had it explained to me I might not have been sure. We often talk about transplants not coming without jobs but I wonder if we might see a rise in older unemployed folks in their 50's trying to survive coming here.

New York isn't giving up on the digital-ledger technology that makes Bitcoin and other tokens work even after last year's collapse of the cryptocurrency market.
The New York City Economic Development Corporation said its Blockchain Centre in Manhattan will open Thursday a part of a partnership with affiliates of venture-capital fund Future\Perfect Ventures and the Global Blockchain Business Council, a trade organisation. The city may also start testing the use of blockchain technology in the fall.
The centre is opening at a difficult time for the industry. After digital coin prices tumbled last year by as much 90 per cent, many startups working on the technology have been forced to lay off staff or even shut down as funding dried up. Some companies have also stalled trials and deployment of the technology, which makes it easier for multiple parties to share data in a trusted way. The technology is already in use at companies such as Walmart Inc.
The 4,000-square-foot centre, located at 54 W. 21st St. in the Flatiron District in the centre of the city's Silicon Alley, will offer everything from coding classes to lunch lectures for software developers to the general public. Tenants of the 12-storey building include data aggregator Quovo Inc., startup investor Palm Drive Capital LLC and beauty services outfit Glamsquad Inc.
While the city is providing the one-time initial investment of US$100,000, the operators will seek to raise money through membership dues and through corporate partners, which already include Microsoft Corp. and International Business Machines Corp., according to Jalak Jobanputra, managing partner at Future\Perfect Ventures.
Last year, New York's blockchain startups received more than US$500 million in venture capital funding, up 500 per cent from 2017, according to the EDC. Several of the largest blockchain employers in the world – including IBM, R3 and Coinbase Inc. – are rapidly growing in the city. Last year, New Yorkers had seen more than 2,200 blockchain-related job postings, up 80 per cent from the year earlier, the agency said.
The centre is not the first blockchain-related community space in the city. Bitcoin Centre NYC, which is self funded, has been around since 2013, is open every day and hosts events monthly, according to founder Nick Spanos.

POLITICIANS must "once and for all ring-fence the independence of Irish media", Micheál Martin has warned in the wake of a major suspected data breach at Independent News & Media (INM).
The Fianna Fáil leader was commenting on reports that data, including the emails of journalists, executives and other staff may have been accessed by external companies in October 2014.
The Press Ombudsman and the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) have both expressed concerns that the confidentiality of journalistic sources may have been compromised.
NUJ Ireland secretary Séamus Dooley said he could not imagine "any moral, ethical or legal justification" for compromising the sources of journalists.
High-profile journalist and broadcaster Brendan O'Connor, deputy editor of the Sunday Independent is among those who believes his emails were accessed.
According to watchdog, the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement (ODCE), the "data interrogation" was reportedly directed by former INM chairman Leslie Buckley, with invoices settled by a company owned by INM's largest shareholder, businessman Denis O'Brien.
INM informed the Data Protection Commissioner (DPC) in August that there had been a data interrogation, but the ODCE has suggested that the company downplayed its seriousness.
The company has told the ODCE its board was unaware of the data interrogation.
According to the watchdog, Mr Buckley said it was part of a "cost-reduction exercise" to find more detail about the awarding of a professional services contract.
Fresh contact was made with the DPC last month after INM was provided with new information by the ODCE.
The commissioner is currently undertaking a "scoping exercise" before progressing with a targeted investigation.
The watchdog is seeking the appointment by the high court of inspectors to investigate the suspected data breach and a range of other corporate governance issues at the company.
"I think all of us have been taken aback by the revelations of the last week to 10 days," Mr Martin told RTÉ's 'The Week In Politics'.
"Obviously we have to await the full publication of the affidavit the ODCE will be presenting to the High Court, but from my perspective I am watching developments with really profound concern in terms of what it entails for us as a democracy.
"It will have to really involve the political system in making sure we make decisions that once and for all ring fence the independence of our media, underpin it and make sure it is free from any overbearing influences that can actually act to distort and undermine our democracy."
The Data Protection Commissioner (DPC) is also to launch an investigation.

"When we learned to cook is when we became truly human, but we've lost touch with how that food got to our plates." Michael Pollan in Cooked.
As is so often the case with history, the "herstory" tends to get left out – and food is no exception. While there are as many books on food history as leaves on a tree, try to find just ONE exploring "the herstory of food". I still haven't. Which is odd considering from our earliest days as hunter-gatherers to the first domestication of plants, it was women who stoked the first hearths, stirred the first pots, brewed the first beer, and baked the first bread.
"Feast of Bread" held across Eastern Europe & Russia
And if you explore research papers that examine the origins of plant gathering and food production (as I love to do) you'll find for the most part, that the language is curiously gender neutral. Almost as if the sexual division of labour that dominated earliest food gathering, is unseemly and better left unmentioned. But fact is, women were the first gatherers, introducing the deliberate cultivation of plants and the various complex processes such as cooking, baking, preservation and food storage—basketry, pottery, that went along with it.
Warli Folk Art
Why does this matter? Well, what's gone missing is much more than women's history. What's rendered invisible is the story of our earliest relationship with food and the natural world – the vast swath of "herstory" which kindled our transformation into humans. And in this post, I'm going to explain why I feel, in this time of ecological and food crisis, this loss goes a long way towards explaining why we've lost touch with the food on our plate.
Let's start with food activist and author Michael Pollan's recent four-part documentary series on the history of food. Exploring the transformation of the four natural elements, fire, air, earth and water, into our earliest food and drink, Pollan never mentions that the "alchemy of cooking" was originally a women's domain. Yet in Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation (the book upon which the series is based) Pollan makes the point that "for most of history most of humanity's food has been cooked by women working out of public view and without public recognition." And yet his televised series continues the tradition.
I'm totally with Pollan when he defines cooking as the "essential human activity at the heart of all cultures" and that by "relying upon corporations to process our foods we've disrupted our essential link to the natural world." But that he urges us to "reclaim our lost food traditions" and "revel again in the magical activity of making food" without acknowledging that women's food magic is at the very heart of our early food history, is quite an oversight.
Because long before food was a commodity bought and sold for profit, no act of food production, from harvesting, growing, preparing, preserving, storing, cooking, baking, was left unblessed by women's prayers, rituals and devotions. Their food magic had one central purpose, to nourish the earth who nourished them.
Left: Quinault berry picker, The Plimpton Press, 1913 Right: Zarma woman carrying decorated water pot on head, Niger
And for thousands of years, from the customs of our coastal First Nations to the rituals of the ancient world, whether they called her Isis, Inanna, Ishtar, Asherah, Astarte, Artemis, Cybele, Demeter, Pachamama, Annapurna, or Freya, women have carved and painted her sacred symbols onto hearths, ovens, pots, cooking and food storage vessels, made offerings to her as they gathered food in the fields, forests and waters, and held countless ceremonial feasts in her honour.
And while we may no longer remember why we bake fruitcake at Christmas or hot cross buns at Easter, they descend from the "holy foods" once ritually consumed to ensure her fertility – thus providing prosperity and abundance for all.
Traditional Ukrainian Easter Bread and Kukiełka Podegrodzka from southern Poland
That Pollan's series never mentions any of this, is hardly unusual. Today the herstory of cooking is relegated to the realm of 'fertility cults", sympathetic magic, folklore and old wive's tales. After all, everyone knows that baking magical bread isn't going to causally affect the harvest. So today the history of cooking is, for the most part, the story of visionary male chefs who pioneered the art, techniques and economics of "good cooking".
Pollan himself points that this problem (as Janet A. Flammang, a feminist scholar suggests) may have something to do with food which by "its very nature falls on the wrongside -the feminine side-of the mind-body dualism in Western culture… food is associated with body, animal, female and appetitive – things civilized men have sought to overcome with knowledge and reason."
Today the earth's body is industrially farmed and artificially fertilised, food is a "product" earned by the sweat of our brow, and the great mother is all but forgotten. Women no longer gather communally to harvest with prayer and song, but shop harried and alone in corporate superstores, and the kitchen is a place where we consume the processed and fast foods that suit our busy lifestyles.
It seems to me that the loss of reverence for the earth desacralized our food and severed us from the rituals which brought us together, from which we drew nourishment, meaning and spiritual sustenance. So I can't help but wonder, if this has anything to do with why, from perpetual dieting to eating disorders, to an obsession with "watching what we eat", modern women have such a complicated relationship with food?
In their book From Betty Crocker to Feminist Food Studies: Critical Perspectives on Women and Food,Arlene Avakian and Barbara Haber write women today are suffering from an internal conflict, in which "our hidden hungers", "the sensual pleasures of food and cooking are all too often obscured by the increasing demands of careers, families, battles over body image, and the desire for a life outside the "traditional" domain of the kitchen."
And they point out that feminism has been of little help sorting it all out, as women's history scholars are more interested "in setting straight the public record on women's achievements". Instead, feminist scholarship on food has largely focused on "women's food pathologies, such as anorexia, bulimia, and other eating disorders" and ignored cooking "as if it were merely a marker of patriarchal oppression and, therefore, not worthy of attention."
source here: http://www.rwaag.org/daily
But growing evidence in the fields of anthropology suggests that women's early place by the hearth may have had nothing to do with the centuries of domestic oppression that followed. Because long before women ate last at the table (and maintained their trim figures) long before cooking was part of an invisible unpaid economy, women had control over the crops they harvested, cultivated, cooked and consumed.
Our very early foremothers, as Eleanor Leacock suggests in Women's Status in Egalitarian Society, lived in a society where "issues of status are irrelevant because both women and men produce goods and services for their own use…and hence control their own lives directly."
What if before the shift to ownership of crop and land, before food became "property" (usually of an elite class of landholders and the Church) women's central role in food production granted them economic autonomy, status and spiritual authority? (see more on this here) What if cooking, far from drudge work assigned to the lesser sex, was originally a source of women's empowerment? What if it provided fellowship, and an avenue of creative, artistic and spiritual expression? What if eating and feasting were celebratory occasions to honour the life-sustaining gifts of the earth, opportunities for women to nourish and pleasure themselves?
There are no answers to these questions because no one is asking. After all, who remembers there is a "herstory" of food at all? So I am left searching obscure anthropology and archaeology texts, quaint holiday customs and pagan cookbooks, for scattered references to a historical and spiritual legacy, that if pulled together would not only illuminate both women's history and the story of our earliest relationship to food – but maybe even what it means to be human.
In the words of this reviewer, Pollan seeks to remind us that the kitchen is "a holy place where the gifts of nature are transformed into physical, emotional, and even spiritual forms of sustenance", and in Cooked he urges us to "forge a deeper, more meaningful connection to the ingredients and cooking techniques that we use to nourish ourselves". But ahem, isn't that the herstory that's gone missing from our plates?
The Kitchen Maid (with Christ, Mary and Martha) c.1620-25 Joachim Wtewael
Pollan may have helped to popularise the food axiom "you are what you eat" but for our ancient foremothers, it was how you ate that mattered. Baking ceremonial bread may be considered magical thinking, but l think it works like this: it binds us together in reverence and gratitude for our mother the earth, it revives the 'old ways' of creating blessings for ourselves, our family, community and the planet herself, and it reconnects us with the joy of nourishing and being nourished. And isn't this a legacy worth remembering?
Oprah may have bought WeightWatchers to help women be their best selves, but maybe we're hungering for something we can no longer even name? The way I see it, the "herstory" of food isn't the old well-worn tale of women being oppressed by their place in the kitchen. Quite the opposite. It's about reclaiming our age-old power as caretakers and nurturers of the earth – not to mention ourselves.

The various signs of the international economy since mid-2014 show that trouble like the fall of chinese stock market are not small setbacks without importance as some supposed. On the contrary, like we analyzed in its moment1, this works as evidence of the appeareance of the contradictions on which the global economic recovery after the 2008-09 crisis settle down, in one of the promoting countries.
In fact, nowadays there is no agreement about the capacity of China to push the rest of the global economy , and about the future state of health of the yankee economy, which held a sustaining although moderate growth since the aforementioned recession. It is true that even today, most international analysts are prone to foresee a minor slowdown of the growth in relation to early years. Others like Roubini, don't think that the current situation can be compared to the one of 2008 and discard the possibility of China having an emergency landing.2 However, some international organisms started to modify their growth predictions for 2016 downwards; for the third time in less than a year, in october of 2015 the IMF lowered its prevision from a 3,6% to a 3,4% with extremely low levels for the Euro zone (1,7%) and for Japan (1%). United Nations is even more pessimistic and estimates a 2.9%, wich is little more than half the rate of growth of the world economy before the last crisis. On the other hand, the World Bank warned on halting trade and stagnation of consumption as an indicator of global problems. The Baltic Dry Index, index which measures goods circulation (specially raw materials) on different central sea routes, and that is utilized as a thermometer of the evolution and perspective of the international economy, has lower levels than the ones from 2009. Similar circumstances occur with the chinese index of port cargo, accumulating, since the peak of 2012 through january of 2016, a drop that surpass the 40%.
All of this adds to the end of the "tailwind" of the emergent economies, because of the drop on the prices of the commodities linked to a lesser globald demand, specially from China, and a revaluation of the dollar.3 And this tends to go on: according to the World Bank, in 2016 the non-energetic goods will drop a 3,7%, metals a 10%( after collapsing a 21% in 2015) and agricultural products a 1,4%.
Petroleum, indebtedness and Stock Market.
The case of petroleum is the most significative due to the scale of the fall, ascribed to the lesser world demand,a consequence of the stagnation of Europe, Japan and China, and because of the growing production which comes as a result of the ongoing "war of prices" between Arabia and its partners, against the non-conventional exploitation from USA and other countries. To this scenario we have to add the return of Iran to the world market. As a result, the OPEC basket price went from 60 dollars in july of 2015 to a bottom of 25 for January 13 of this year with a diary overproduction of 1,5 million barrels. For this reason, it is estimated that during 2015 exploitation projects worth 350 million dollars throughout the world were suspended. The nine biggest oil companies of Europe accumulate losts for about 250 thousand million euros since mid 2014, when the sharpest fall of the price started.4 This fall wasn't reflected on an economic recovery through a shock of cheap energy. On the contrary, the situation affected countries that depend on oil and raw materials like Russia, Venezuela, Nigeria or Brazil; and threatens to extend to Turkey and South Africa. The most affected are the ones with a high private credit / GDP, where the loans are in risk of not being paid (specially by companies from the raw materials sector), and countries which took debt in dollars.
The momentary way out for the 2009 crisis of the USA was given through the means of the monetary expansion way with the biggest incentive program in the history of the country. To understand the size of the money pumping in all its shapes (circulating, loans to financial entities, long term Treasure purchases, bonds, etc.) by the Federal Reserve, until october of 2014 it dumped a value of 3,5 trillion dollars. This is to say, the equivalent to the Germany's year GDP, Between this measures, the FED conducted a bond purchase policy to mantain low rates on a long term.5 In the next years to the crisis, the recipe seemed to work. For this reason, many burgeois economists singed eulogies to the american recovery, that if not spectacular, mantained a slow but sure pace of the anual 2,5%. In a China's slowdown context, the chronic stagnation from Japan and the Europe problems, these rates were not something to worry about. At the same time, the employment recovered, but with stagnated real salaries since 2008 and the homes debts were reduced.
However the foundations of this process were weak.6 During the last months some evidence that the problems weren't solved appeared. On one hand, the industrial production had a setback of an interannual 2% in December. This drop was motorized basically by the oil sector, specially for the blow suffered beacause of the investments made on non-conventional resources (shale and tight oil) due to the drop on the international price, which lead to a contraction of the 10% in the mining chapter. Among other sectors the consumption came to an halt in spite of the incentives, like automobiles (-0,9%) or durable goods, which had the major drop in sales since recession (-3,5%). During 2015, with a rising dollar, the exportations diminished, which stopped the increase since 2011. Aditionally, the investments didn't grow the way they were expected to with the expansive policy of the Federal Reserve, and the rise of productivity was brief. But the fundamental point are profits, the system's engine. On this item, the mass of profits of the corporations was also reduced, for over 5% between 2014 and 2015. The JP Morgan predicted a fall of 10% on this year profits, the posibility of this happening in the United States is located in the order of 25%, the highest risk of the last five years (the Citibank says it is in the order of 65%).
That is to say, that there are elements that in another historical times preceded a recession.7 The FED policies were good enough for this only. This means a situation not unlike the one before the crisis. If for any reason a recession was avoided (or postponed), the best case scenario will be a term of stagnation or very low growth.
The chinese economy shows alarming numbers: the GDP growth is slowing down at rates that are the lowest in the last 25 years. Similar phenomena occurs with the industrial activity, the investment and foreign trade. The profits fell down in nominal terms during 2015 for around an interannual 3%,driven by the sectors linked to construction and industrial supplies.8 The exportations also suffered a slow but continuous deterioration. Is this deceleration which took the chinese authorities to intervene so the activity could be sustained, rising the public debt from 7,4 billions to 28,2 billions in less than seven years (since 2007 until mid-2014). The incentive was directed towards construction with credits and to general consumption. In this opportunity little savers and homes were motivated to invest, diminishing the minimum legal reserve. The market movement multiplied in an exponential way with loans of the so called "shadow market", a paralell system that moves 3,5 billion dollars. While the economy stagnated, the Stock Exchanged grew an annual 150%. By the end of 2014, the People's Bank of China encouraged this mechanism increasing the emission and reducing the interest rates.9 This only fed the construction bubble, which left as a result various ghost cities and lots of unsold properties through different regions, that will take no less than five years to purge.

It concluded the "Beyond the Sea"
It ended on Sunday 24 August, with the return to Italy of 7 young volunteers, the field of training and volunteering in Tunisia "Beyond the Sea" organized by Caritas Agrigento. Now in its third consecutive year, the camp provided an opportunity for participants to learn about the complex situation in North Africa, but also to witness the closeness of the Church to the Church of Agrigento Tunisia, linked only by a geographical proximity to a pastoral communion that It lasts for several years at the behest of Archbishop. Archbishop Francesco Montenegro of Agrigento and President of the Episcopal Commission for Migration of the Italian Episcopal Conference and Archbishop of Tunis Mons. Ilario Antoniazzi.
"In this time of deep global crisis – said the director of the diocesan Caritas of Agrigento Valerio Landri – when the news from Iraq, Syria, Palestine and Ukraine shock us even for the cruelty of the persecution of Christians and the minorities, it was important to consolidate, through this process of support, closeness and sharing with the Church of Tunisia, support to a reality characterized by the difficulties of living in a country where Christians are a minority. "
Young volunteers, in fact, had the opportunity to meet both Mons. Ilario Antoniazzi and director of the national Caritas of Tunisia, that to hear the testimonies of various religious working in the country the difficulties of this moment in history, but also the many stories positive integration and intercultural and interreligious dialogue. Tunisia, in addition to being the country of emigration to Italy and Europe is also the country of immigration which welcomes the hopes of many young Christians sub-Saharan Africa.
During the 14 days of field young volunteers have been engaged in training activities on the themes of intercultural and interreligious dialogue, cooperation and geopolitics and in activities to support the study and the right to play facing 50 school children of Sousse direct the Egyptian Sisters and visited for all children from Tunisian Muslims.
"This aspect – said Father Jawad Alamat director of school pastoral – emphasizes how important and recognized, also by Muslims, the educational role of the Catholic Church in Tunisia. Our schools, attended by all children of Muslim families, allow us to meet so many people and to witness, through our work, the message of love, acceptance and tolerance of the Gospel. "
To young Italians, in the middle of the field, has joined a group of young French university pastoral who collaborated in the realization of service and training, encouraging, therefore, a process of mutual understanding between the three Mediterranean countries: Italy, France, Tunisia.
The camp also provided an opportunity to learn two youth associations Tunisian born in the aftermath of the Arab Spring of 2011: "Rose de l'esproir" Tunis and "Arselan" of Sousse. The meetings with the two organizations, after a phase of mutual understanding, they focus on the future possibilities of collaboration and cooperation is linked to the support of orphans and poverty present in Tunis and Sousse, but also to intercultural dialogue aimed at creating pathways Educational peace, increasingly necessary for young people in Mediterranean countries marked so often by fundamentalism and racism.
The project "Beyond the Sea" is sponsored by the diocesan Caritas of Agrigento, the office for pastoral charity Archdiocese of Agrigento, in collaboration with the Archdiocese of Tunis and the Foundation Mondoaltro (operational arm Caritas).

On 31 May 2017 the German Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sigmar Gabriel, announced a "Berlin plus" agenda at a conference of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the Western Balkans organised by the Aspen Institute in Berlin. The conference took place against the background of a number of political developments in the Western Balkan countries which seem to threaten the carefully crafted stability paradigm in the region. Political conflict was rife both inside and outside the political institutions. Following a visit to the region by the US Under-Secretary of State Brian Hoyt Yee and the perspective of a meeting of regional Prime Ministers with the EU High Representative Federica Mogherini on 24 May in Brussels, a number of previously deadlocked situations seem to have opened up. No wonder, then, that the German government and Gabriel, who has become a key promoter of the integration of the Western Balkans with the EU (he has already dealt with the region in his previous function as Minister for Economy and Energy) were more than ready to create further incentives for the countries in the region.
But there should also be new intergovernmental instruments. Gabriel proposed to set up a fund for infrastructure and technology to which EU member states, EFTA and the European Economic Area members could contribute as donors. Such funds should also help to accelerate symbolic projects like transport links between the least-connected countries in the region. While these initiatives are of course most welcome, the question remains of how much difference they can make in the short term. For several weeks China went on a regional promotion tour for its "Belt and Road" initiative. Some 10 billion EUR have already been committed for Chinese investments which are expected to become game-changers in linking up the region.
While "Berlin plus" is good, current times rather require a "Berlin squared" to make a quicker and bigger impact, and also to support positive developments such as the government change in Macedonia. What is more, in August 2014 in Berlin the governments envisaged "four years of real progress". Four years will be up in less than 15 months from now, the beginning of June 2017. At this pace, what will have been achieved by 2018?
Tobias Flessenkemper is a senior fellow and Balkans project director at the Centre international de formation européenne (CIFE) in Nice and adjunct professor at the University of Cologne, where he teaches international development management and advocacy and contributes to the European politics programmes. He is the co-founder and managing director of elbarlament.org, an advisory practice based in Berlin, focusing on innovation in governance and communication. He holds a Magister Artium in political science from the University of Cologne and the European Master in International Humanitarian Assistance (NOHA) from the Ruhr-University Bochum (Germany). He was a visiting fellow at the Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik (German Institute for International and Security Affairs) from 2012-13 and served as senior policy advisor of the EU Police Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina, programme coordinator of the EUPOL Proxima in Macedonia, EU expert of the German Centre for International Peace Operations (ZIF) and youth coordinator of the OSCE Mission in Sarajevo from 2001 to 2012. Until 2001 he was Secretary General of the European Youth Forum in Brussels, preceded by professional and voluntary assignments in European affairs in Belgium, Germany and Italy. His main research interests include the institutional, constitutional, security aspects as well as communication and cultural dimensions of European integration and EU external action.


Growing up you always heard about all of the things to avoid eating to keep your teeth healthy. Candy will rot your teeth. Gum is bad for your teeth. Soda destroys your enamel. Well, there is a flipside to the conversation. Have you ever heard about what to eat for better dental health? Today this Miami Dentist is going to continue coverage of National Nutrition Month with some insight on foods that will help create healthy teeth and gums for life.
In honor of National Nutrition Month, The Miami Dentist blog is happy to share part II our free radical article series. Today, I'd like to spend a little time following up this week's guide to free radicals. In this article we'll dive into how to implement simple dietary and behavioral changes to both prevent free radical damage, as well as reverse some of the effects.
Dentists in Miami are becoming increasingly concerned with free radical damage. Free radicals are malicious, unbalanced atoms that gradually destroy cellular structures over time. Eventually, the cell becomes dysfunctional and dies. A growing body of research is beginning to link free radicals damage with serious illness, causing physicians and health care professionals to educate patients on staying healthy with antioxidants.
Miami Dentist News: National Nutrition Month is Here!
This month, Assure a Smile celebrates National Nutrition Month! As a holistic dentistry practice, we urge patients to consider how their oral health is intricately related to other parts of their daily life. Nutrition is often the first area we recommend patients evaluate, as the food we consume comes into direct contact with our teeth and gums. Failing to eat well, along with poor oral hygiene, is the shortest path towards tooth decay and gum disease. Oral health, as recent research indicates, is intimately linked with overall health. In this way, eating well not only preserves your teeth and gums, but it also preserves your overall well being.


I notice that when I am away I take everything slow. I stop and smell the flowers (literally). I often pull out my camera, which I always carry, and I take pictures of interesting things. I take my time to prepare food and to enjoy conversations. Even a glass of wine, takes a little longer. I think I'd like to try to take it slow more often. The question is how?
I loved that when I was at the cottage and visiting an old friend, I took time to prepare food. I made beautiful fruit salads in the morning. Granola and yogurt a drizzle of honey. Nothing complicated just comfort in a cup. I like to prepare this at home served in my grandmother's old tea cups. The one's she used when we came for Sunday dinners. The breakfasts at the cottage being the full gammet of what these meals are supposed to be. Bacon (veggie for me), eggs over easy, toast, home fries and maybe something left over from last nights dinner.
We take time for ourselves. One of my favorite things is to find a quiet moment and sneak off for a yoga practice or a paddle in my kayak. The peace that is offered in each stroke of my paddle. Being close to nature. One day I even floated past a blue heron. I was maybe 10 feet away and was in awe of the size of this prehistoric looking bird. Quiet moments on the dock, in love with the scene around me in various yoga postures, or just sitting.
These are the things I look forward to on vacation. These are the things I love.
How can I take these moments of peace, of enjoyment and bring them to the real world. The hustle and bustle of our life. Three children, a day care, one child still at home, two part time jobs and maintaining relationships... how can I take time to slow down. I would love to say that I will take time preparing all my meals. That I will not rush through my yoga practice but I can't guarantee it. I can say that I will try. If we truly learn from what we live, then I must remember how good it feels and how good I feel when I take my time.
There must be a yoga teaching in there somewhere? Maybe it's an investigation into swadyaya? Or perhaps I've reached a bit of santosha (contentment), and maybe there's even a little bit of saucha (purity) in my moments, and tapas (enthusiasm) if I keep doing it. The niyamas, the observances... For now I am happy here and maybe it can become more a part of my practice to do just that, and observe.

Andre Iguodala out at least a week and a half, Andrew Bogut one game
By Dan FeldmanMar 18, 2014, 9:33 PM EDT
Andre Iguodala has helped turn the Golden State Warriors from a dangerous lower seed into a legitimate championship contender.
At 42-26, the Warriors are at least on pace for their best record since 1992. Their defense has reached unprecedented levels in Oakland, and their offense is full of talent.
Iguodala is central to both sides of the court for Golden State, so this is a pretty concerning setback.
BREAKING: Mark Jackson announces Andre Iguodala out 3 games due to tendonitis.
— CSN Warriors News (@CSNWarriors) March 19, 2014
The Warriors can probably survive their next two games, vs. Orlando tonight and vs. Milwaukee on Thursday, without Iguodala. The third game, vs. San Antonio, will be much more challenging.
They're just a different team when Iguodala plays.
Iguodala on:
Offensive rating: 109.4
Defensive rating: 96.2
Net rating: +13.1
Iguodala off:
Offensive rating: 98.4
Defensive rating: 103.6
Net rating: -5.2
Part of the discrepancy is due to Iguodala playing so much – 55 percent of his minutes – with Golden State's other starters (Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Davie Lee and Andrew Bogut). That lineup has been the most productive of the NBA's 38 most-used lineups.
Harrison Barnes will replace Iguodala in the starting lineup, and despite his powerful name recognition and remaining potential, Barnes just isn't having a strong year. That shows in his lack of chemistry when playing with Curry, Thompson, Lee and Bogut. With Barnes replacing Iguodala, that lineup is considerably worse on both sides of the ball:
At least Golden State has five days off following this three-game stretch. That could give Iguodala a chance to heal.
If only the Warriors' problems ended there, though.
Andrew Bogut is also out against the Magic tonight.
BREAKING: Andre Iguodala and Andrew Bogut will both MISS tonight's game vs Magic. Iguodala out at least 3 games.
When Iguodala and Bogut, the Warriors' top two defenders, are off the court, they allow 106.8 points per 100 possessions, according to nbawowy. For reference, that falls to 102.0 for Golden State overall this season and 98.8 when both play.
Fortunately for the Warriors, the anemic Magic offense probably can't take advantage (even if Orlando has won six of seven at Golden State).
If this is just the Warriors being precautious during a long season, that makes sense. They're 3.5 games behind Houston for homecourt advantage in the first round of the playoffs and 3.5 games ahead of Phoenix for the final postseason spot. This is the right time to rest players, especially considering the lengthy break after the Spurs game would give Iguodala a long stretch to recharge his batteries.
But if these injuries, especially the more-serious-sounding Iguodala's, are more significant, they could pose major setbacks for Golden State's title aspirations.

Striginiana nobilis is a moth in the family Eupterotidae. It was described by William Jacob Holland in 1893. It is found in Gabon.

Description
The wingspan about 130 mm. The forewings are fawn, with the inner margin and the outer angle pale cinereous (ash grey). The wings are crossed before the base by a straight transverse line of dark brown, margined inwardly with pale cinereous. This is succeeded by a similar line which crosses the middle of the cell and is parallel to the first. There is a short linear brown line at the end of the cell defined inwardly by grey. Beyond the cell, there is a straight transverse dark brown line running from beyond the middle of the costa to the middle of the inner margin, where it nearly touches the line crossing the middle of the cell. This is defined inwardly by a broad, pale grey shade. This line is followed by another straight transverse line running from the costa three fourths of the distance from the base to the inner margin two-thirds of the distance from the base, defined inwardly by a pale grey line, which is interrupted on the nervules by ochraceous dots, marking the origin of a regular series of markings which lie on the side toward the base with their points towards the base, which are dark brown shaded with pale grey toward the margin. Beyond this dark brown line, the outer third of the wing is fawn marked by a subapical brown shading and a similarly submarginal shading near the outer angle, both fading inwardly into grey. The costa and the outer margin of the hindwings are fawn, but the inner margin and inner angle are broadly glaucous grey. There is a broad patch of black hairs at the base followed by a black incomplete transverse band running from the inner margin to beyond the end of the cell, and gradually widening from the inner margin. This is followed by a narrower black line which is very obscure upon the costa, but gradually widens toward the inner margin and becomes more distinct and terminates upon the internal vein. This is again followed by a very broad, dark brown band which runs from the costa before the outer angle to the inner margin, its inner edge being straight, its outer edge curved and denticulate, and defined by a pale grey waved line.

The Global Lepidoptera Names Index has this name as a synonym of Jana strigina.

Bruins fan spat on and beaten up during Canucks game
It wasn't easy during the Stanley Cup finals to be a Boston Bruins fan in Vancouver. But on Wednesday night, it turned violent for Kris Griffin.
By Petti FongStaff Reporter
Thu., June 16, 2011timer1 min. read
VANCOUVER—It wasn't easy during the Stanley Cup finals to be a Boston Bruins fan in Vancouver. But on Wednesday night, it turned violent for Kris Griffin, who wore his Bruins jersey to watch the game.
Watching from a designated "fan zone" downtown, Griffin endured jeers and ribbing during first period. By second period, he started to get pushed around and spat upon by an increasingly aggressive crowd.
Sensing the increasing hostility, Griffin took his jersey off in the third period. But not before four or five people jumped him and started kicking and punching him.
"Thankfully those were just a few morons and other people were able to come by and pull them off," said Griffin.
As the crowds got bigger, they turned more violent and started smashing windows and setting cars on fire. Griffin said he decided to just stay in the background until the mayhem ended.
But when he saw a mob attack a man who was trying to stop the riots, he stepped in and tried to help him.
Still with his jersey in hand, Griffin was again attacked, this time by an even angrier group of rioters.
"Seeing people getting kicked for no reason because of the jersey they wore or because they were trying to stop people from destroying property just makes no sense," he said.


Streaming piracy remains a huge problem for broadcasters. The implications it has on business KPIs are mind-boggling.
Given that most consumers today have enough broadband bandwidth in their home to stream high-quality upstream, live streaming piracy is more of an issue than ever.
Pay TV is just one part of the ecosystem impacted: everyone with an interest in the content will suffer (broadcaster, production house, rights owner, OTT streaming service) but quantifying the impact is very challenging. Understandably, companies are reluctant to divulge incidents of data loss or admit the extent of online redistribution.
There are estimates that content theft in all forms runs into billions of dollars in lost revenue for the media industry per year.
Taking just one recent high-profile example, the Floyd Mayweather fight against Conor McGregor last August is estimated to have been viewed by nearly three million people via 239 illegal streams, according to digital platform security company Irdeto.
One illegal stream alone reached 986,000 users – translating to almost $100 million lost revenue for broadcaster Showtime.
If we assume that half of the viewers reported on social media sites—50 million—watched the full fight. It means that those 50 million could have been payers. Taking a conservative approach, out of those, 2.5 million viewers were willing to pay-per-view, translating into a revenue loss of $250 million (at a price point of $99.99).
According to the piracy-tracking firm Tecxipio, illegal views of Mayweather vs McGregor did not end with the broadcast. The fight was illegally downloaded by some 445,000 internet users immediately after it had ended. After-fight revenue opportunities are far from meaningless to broadcasters.
Piracy is a huge problem for the subscription video on demand business. Pirate torrents remain highly popular, with Pirate Bay having 234.5 million visits in February 2017 alone.
According to the Online TV Piracy Forecasts report, revenues lost to online piracy will nearly double between 2016 and 2022 to $51.6 billion.
Speaking of subscription services, account sharing seems to be hurting revenues most. A single end-user sharing a Netflix password may costs the company $10 per month – whereas a single download and illegal posting of pre-released content could cost a studio millions in lost revenue. The latest estimates say that Netflix is losing around $391 million in revenue because of subscribers that share their passwords in the US.
It is also worse considering the frustration of the end user in trying to find the content they want. In part caused by the continuing fragmentation of premium rights onto various pay-TV operator owned linear and online services, SVOD platforms and over social media, searching for wanted content can take precious time. The cost of search and the ease of discovery is considered a major factor why users opt for aggregated premium services.
As a form of cybercrime, however, online content redistribution piracy is the major threat to high-value content. While an unauthorized script, tweet or leak of an episode of a popular show like Game of Thrones makes headlines, the industry is by some accounts hemorrhaging more revenue from illegal redistribution of premium live streams.
The real fight against piracy just started!


Aperature - The opening of the CCTV lens. The size of which is controlled by the iris and is measured in F numbers. Generally, the lower the F number, the larger the aperture is and consequently more light can pass through the lens.
An increase in voltage or power, usually expressed in dB. A piece of hardware that acts as the 'gate' between a LAN and the internet. The Gateway address is simply the IP address of the Gateway.
Part of the GSM standard that delivers "always-on" wireless packet data services to GSM customers. GPRS can provide packet data speeds of up to 115 kb/s.
Variations in value from white, through shades of gray, to black on a television screen. The gradations approximate the tonal values of the original image picked up by the TV camera.
The signal strength loss when a piece of equipment is inserted into a line.
Light Emitting Device is a type of light source which generates an infrared frequency when stimulated by electricity.
D device for the transmission of data via dial-up networking.
The Motion Picture Experts Group(MPEG) released MPEG-4 encoding in 1998. The basic idea behind MPEG is that compressed images are compared before being transmitted over the network. The first compressed image is used as a reference and compared to the images that follow it in the video sequence. The first image is transmitted over the network along with the parts of the following images that differ from the initial reference image. The viewing application on the receiving end of the transmission then reconstructs all images based on this information and displays the result. This is a simplified description of how MPEG-4 works.
The word `noise` originated in audio practice and refers to random spurts of electrical energy or interference. In some cases, it will produce a `salt-and-pepper` pattern over the televised picture. Heavy noise is sometimes referred to as `snow`.
A server that acts as an intermediary between a user's computer and the computer they want to access. If a user makes a request for a resource from computer "A," this request is directed to the proxy server, which makes the request, gets the response from computer "A," and then forwards the response to the client. Proxy servers are useful for accessing World Wide Web resources from inside a firewall.
A standard network connector, often found at the end of CAT-5 cable.
The process of moving the electron beam of a pickup tube or a picture tube across the target or screen area of a tube. Sensitivity - In television, a factor expressing the incident illumination upon a specified scene required to produce a specified picture signal at the output terminals of a television camera.
A video recorder, most often in the VHS format,that can slow down the recording process and create a time lapse between recorded frames. This increases the amount of recording time on an individual tape. Unlike a standard VCR which has a maximum recoding time of 8 hours, time lapse recorders can record from 2 to 960 hours on a standard VHS tape. Recording speeds available on some Time Lapse VCR.
The number of distinct horizontal lines, alternately black and white, which can theoretically be seen in a picture. Allows a buyer to judge the quality of any camera. Low resolution is between 300 and 380, medium resolution is between 400 and 480, high resolution is 480 plus.
is a type of manual zoom lens with a small zoom ratio (ranging between 4mm to 12mm depending on brand). It is used when the focal length of the lens needs to be fine tuned to meet the requirements of the actual scene.
Wireless cameras allow the transmission of video and audio data to be transmitted to the receiver without having to run wires (using radio waves). Wireless cameras often have an option to power the camera via mains in which case there will be a lead from camera to power point.
A lens with variable elements giving adjustable magnification and differing fields of view in one, i.e. 12:1.


However, his effort then soon petered out, passed first by Trading Point before 9-1 shot Karawaan - making his first appearance for Ger Lyons, having previously been trained in Britain by Sir Michael Stoute - took the initiative.
Despite having been off the track since last June, the five-year-old showed no signs of rustiness - galloping on strongly in the hands of former champion jockey Colin Keane to emerge victorious by two and three-quarter lengths.
Shane Lyons, assistant to his brother, said: "He hasn't missed a day since Gaelic Bloodstock purchased him. He's done a lot of cantering to get a good base into him.
"We weren't sure how he'd cope with the ground - his action at home suggested he could handle it, although you're never sure until you run them.
"Colin said he got a great feel off him going down to the start, and he galloped through the ground. We always thought that he'd step up to a mile and a quarter - but there is no need to be stepping him up when he wins a handicap like that.
"A lot of credit goes to David Spratt, and Gaelic Bloodstock who purchased him, and we'll make a plan now. We're only learning as much as the rest - but it's a good way to learn.
"Ger isn't feeling too well, so he decided to stay at home."


The wood lovers' weekend was a great success for this guitarmaker. Aside from getting the opportunity to show the public how I hand-carve parts for an archtop guitar, I also got to meet some terrific woodworkers: woodcarvers, woodturners, luthiers, even broadaxe-wielding timber hewers. And all in the beautiful and inspiring setting of an old wooden barn by the St. Lawrence river in a mid-nineteenth-century town. Thanks to all the visitors, staff and volunteers who made it such a memorable weekend.

Gillyin teaches and offers workshops at her studio/gallery in the warm seasons.
I'm pretty focused on relief printing. My style is usually a single color lino or wood cut. I grew up drawing with pencils and charcoal. So when I made the transition into printmaking, single color (black mostly) prints came natural to me and allowed me to develop my style. I really appreciate the relief printing process because, to me, it's a combination of drawing and sculpture.

Utilityman Zach Strief, the titanic versatile offensive lineman, hit the offseason as a restricted free agent.
The Saints retained him with a $1.759 million tender. No team expressed interest in signing Strief to an offer sheet, adding him to their roster and paying the second round pick price.
Strief signed the offer on Monday, ending the possibility of a restricted free agent offer sheet.
Strief, 27, 6'7, 320, could still be traded at any time now for any price. The Saints are moving into 2010 with four starting quality offensive tackles - Jammal Brown returning from injury, Jon Stinchcomb coming off a Pro Bowl season, Brown's 2009 replacement Jermon Bushrod and versatile veteran Strief.
Its a luxury to have at a key position, but the right offer could result in one of those players moving via trade.

The error is coming from particles.js. On my homepage there is no errors, the homepage is where I'm using

. The moment I go to any other page, like here, I get this error. No idea why.

A: I also found this issue when trying to add particles.js to a webpage. The solution is quite simple. When loading this part of the script:
particlesJS("particles-js", {

particles.js tries to access to the 'particles-js' class. So if you only use

 in your home page, it's normal that it throws you that exception when you try to load main.js in any other page.
So basically you've to load both, the

 snippet and main.js in every page you want particles.js working, or change the class used by main.js to a more generic one like, for example, body so you could have it on the background (with a bit of css).

A: The Best Way is that you first check it by jQuery . If Id exist then initialize the Particle.js
if ($('#particles-js').length) {
    particlesJS("particles-js", {});
}

Q: Finite State Machine odd number of bc at the end I had this question in a school test:

Design a non-deterministic FSM that receives all words over {a,b,c} that:

*

*Start with cc.

*Contain at least 1 ab or aca.

*Ends with an odd number of (bc).

The FSM I built was wrong. However, when I asked the teacher for an FSM that works, she gave me this:

(ignore the text).
From how I see it, this FSM doesn't work- because for example the word ccabcbc from the route
q0->q1->q2->q3->q4->q4->q6->q7

But she just says that the FSM works and that I don't understand how a non-deterministic FSM works.
So, am I wrong or is she?
if I'm wrong, why is the route I gave not valid?
And if I'm right, it would be great if someone could send an FSM that works, because I was struggling with this even at home.
Thanks in advance, and sorry for misuse of terms, I learn the subject in a different language.

A: Your professor is wrong. The task "accept an odd number of bc at the end" can only mean "accept only an odd number (and not an even number) of bc, since otherwise there would be no point in even stating the condition - every even number of repetitions also ends with an odd number of repetitions if you count from the right position.
So how do you write an automaton that accepts only an odd number of bc at the end? The trick is to ensure that the transitions immediately before the final loop don't accept bc. For instance, you could create seven different paths for all other two-symbol combinations and make sure that the final state is reachable only through them.
(This seems expensive, and it is. Negating conditions in regular languages is often surprisingly complicated. You may have learnt that regular languages are closed under negation, and that's true - it's always possible to create a machine that accepts the opposite of a language. But theory doesn't say that it will be cheap, and in fact it often isn't.)


'Tis the season to be mauve at Seattle's Green Lake.
It's not as easy as it once was to get lost in this world.
Sometimes I can see the appeal of hibernation.
Forget slush. Forget black-iced roads. Forget the crack and thud of falling trees festooned in tendrils of live power lines.
Just curl up somewhere warm and dry and wait it out. Dream of spring.
A ribbon of poetry lures strollers into the park.
It sneaks up on you and steals your heart.
The face that launched a thousand pirate quips.
Seattle loves pirates. Don't we all?
Summer arrives late at Green Lake.
If Georges Seurat had lived in Seattle, he would have been drawn to Green Lake, compelled to paint its shifting scenes of people, water, shadowed lawns and fluttering tree canopy.
Shadows enrich the subtext of Little's wire art.
Boats, trains, strolling gardens, salmon and seals, the Locks has it all.
For two days in a row last weekend the temperatures here in Seattle rose above 80. There was much rejoicing in the land.

Acrylic on canvas (using a screen print method). In this new series of 20-by-16-inch acrylic-on-canvas works, the artist used a single screen-printing stencil to further his ongoing investigation of color, surface, process and seriality. Recognized for his deliberate yet improvisational technique and sumptuous, idiosyncratic palette, Maine achieves a beguiling synthesis of chance and purposefulness with these paintings, in which the same all-over composition finds many different ways to sizzle.
His critical writing has appeared in Art in America, ARTnews, Art on Paper, the New York Sun, Artillery, Artnet.com Magazine, Hyperallergic.com, and Artcritical.com, where he is a Contributing Editor.
Stephen Maine (American, b. 1958) lives and works in Brooklyn, NY and West Cornwall, CT. He is an American abstract painter, writer, curator and teacher, a member of the American Abstract Artists and a contributing editor at Artcritical.com. His paintings engage and extend contemporary ideas about color, composition, surface and process.
Maine attended the Rhode Island School of Design, Hartford Art School, the University of Connecticut School of Fine Arts and the Yale Summer School of Music and Art before receiving his BFA in Painting from Indiana University, Bloomington, in 1982. He received his MFA in Visual Art from the Vermont College of Fine Arts in 2014. From 2006 to 2016 he taught in the MFA Fine Arts program at the School of Visual Arts in New York. He currently teaches at the Parsons School of Design and at the State University of New York at Purchase.
In a process closely akin to relief printmaking, Maine uses textured surfaces to apply fluid acrylic paint indirectly to prepared canvas. He makes these surfaces or "plates," some of which are quite large, out of common materials such as plywood, extruded foam, plastic and glue. Maine rolls or brushes wet paint over the plate and presses it into the canvas, using custom built contraptions to ensure alignment (registration) of successive applications. Integral to the process is the idea that the entire surface is treated with paint at the same moment. For Maine that means compositional phenomena are allowed to occur with minimal interference from his ego. This approach to composition is productively at odds with his color decisions, which are closely calibrated. Sometimes a single paint application, in concert with the field of color that is the ground, is sufficient to yield a visually engaging result. In most cases, however, to complete an image multiple layers and more complex interactions of hues are called for. The entire process balances precision and unpredictability.
Color itself, and the material properties of paint as embodied color, provide Maine with his primary inspiration. His open-ended and intentionally imprecise production methods yield results that cannot accurately be foreseen, and he delights in the element of surprise they bring to his studio activity. He is inspired by the aleatoric elements of his process, which allows his materials and surfaces to collaborate in the creative act rather than be scrutinized and dominated by the artist. Says Maine; "This work has provided me with a concrete way to think about compositionality, seriality, improvisation, presentation, and the psychology of visual perception."
Work by Maine is included in the permanent collections of several important institutions, including that of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the New York Public Library, the Museum of Modern Art Library Special Collection, the Whitney Museum of Art, Frances Mulhall Achilles Library, the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Yale University Art Galleries, as well as the United States Department of State Art in Embassies Collection.
Stephen Maine has exhibited extensively. His work has been featured in numerous solo exhibitions in New York, and group exhibitions throughout the United States as well as in Europe and Mexico.
