Micromax's market share hit a slump giving away its position as India's largest smartphone manufacturer to Samsung. The drop in sales comes during turbulent times—several top executives have resigned from their posts and the company struggles to keep up with the highly competitive smartphone market in India. Economic Times reports that shipments of smartphones jumped 29 per cent—nearly 103 million units were sold last year.
The report adds that Micromax, back in 2014, had brought in outside executives to drive their expansion plans forward. However, the founders and the new managers were at loggerheads and, as a result, the investors backed out. Reportedly, Alibaba walked away from a $1.2 billion purchase of a 20 per cent stake citing a lack of clarity in the company's growth plans.
Micromax is struggling to raise funds for expansion outside the country. Chinese companies continue to aggressively push out smartphones at very competitive prices and the playing field has become tougher than ever for the native smartphone brand. Even bigger brands such as Samsung and Lenovo have launched high-end smartphones at affordable prices.
Micromax's share in the smartphone market fell to 13 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2015 from 22 per cent in 2014 according to International Data Corporation.

Cranky Fitness: How Did I Miss This?
This news report came out earlier this year, featuring an awesome new prescription medication. My apologies to those who have already seen it by now. (And note to the satire-impaired: Caution is advised; it's from The Onion).
I'm thinking I need to contact these folks about advertising on Cranky Fitness!
Have a great weekend, all, and see you Monday.
I love The Onion...this is great! Thanks. Laughter is the best medicine!
That certainly brought the LOLs!
I deleted my comment because after I put it up I realized it could be taken wrong.
About freaking time something was done about all those weird-apple happy folk.
I do not collect ceramic figurines, nor have I ever organized a potluck except at someone else's orders, but I can tell I should start watching with an eagle eye for people sneaking things into my food!
Mary Anne, we wouldn't have you any other way!
The new uppers and downers! Take the anti-depressant when you've got the blues, then take the depressant to come down! Love it!
Oh goodness. This one was hilarious.
Good stuff, good stuff. Got my visiting parents laughing.
All too often, the Onion is closer to the truth than I want to know!
I had not seen this. TOO FRIGGIN FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May I have some to have on hand when those annoyingly cheerful "you need to convert to our religion" people come calling?
Thanks for the laugh, I needed it!
When I grow up I want to work for The Onion.
Oh my God! I've gotta get this for my niece, who actually uses the phrase "cool beans." LMAO.
As usual, Crabby, you gave me a good laugh with this one. Come to think of it, I've been too damned cheery lately. Got to call my doc. . .
Damn it, Crabby, look what you've gone and went and done. You've spoiled my perfectly good Bad Mood!
Yes, it's thanks to you that I'm smiling right now.
It's All Your Fault. Hmph.
Hahahah! You gotta love The Onion News! Thanks for sharing!
Fabulous....now I'm hoping they come up with something for those who are not only always cheerful, but those who annoyingly also always make good healthy choices!!!! Laughing at it did help me burn up some of those Christmas calories though.

Newly christened Percent wants to make it easier to securitize corporate debt – TechCrunch
ScoopSkyApril 22, 2021
Debt is the new equity. As founders run around trying to fend off prying VCs from their cap tables, they are increasingly turning to debt products like revenue-based securities in order to get the capital they need today while protecting them from dilution they don't want tomorrow. It's a huge business, with leading company Pipe just valued at $2 billion and others like CapChase cashing in on founders' newly found love of debt.
All those new securities creates a dilemma for potential investors: How do they evaluate every single new debt product from every single company? It's a problem they face not just in the startup world, but also private debt in general as companies borrow hundreds of billions of dollars per year. The solution is securitization and syndication, aggregating the small debts from multiple companies and fusing them together into one consistent new security. It's a major component of capital markets, but one that remains mired in legacy business practices.
Percent is building an end-to-end technology securitization platform for debt originators to connect with a much wider network of investors than traditional institutions to get the best rates at the fastest speeds. When we last checked in a year ago with the company, previously known as Cadence, it had just raised $4 million and processed $125 million through its platform in its short lifetime.
Well, it has now structured more than $400 million across its platform, an eye-popping performance that has attracted new VC interest, this time from Sep Alavi at White Star Capital and Karen Page at B Capital Group. The two firms are investing $12.5 million in a Series A into Percent, with previous backers Revel Partners and Recharge Capital participating.
For CFOs, Percent's pitch is that it can offer a wider spectrum of private debt buyers to originators, therefore lowering the cost of capital. The traditional corporate debt world remains quite clubby, with major institutional holders being connected to originators through investment banks. High fees and a limited investor base can raise expenses significantly. Through its platform, Percent can break that clubbiness and open the debt world to a wider range of buyers.
Furthermore, Percent also acts as the deal origination and transaction platform, allowing companies to easily put together debt offerings, process requests for information and avoid the sort of "attach Excel financials to email or upload to cloud" workflow that remains a mainstay in these processes.
Percent's business model is to take a percentage fee on the dollars originated on its platform as well as an additional percentage fee if it is the underwriter itself. In this way, it has essentially a recurring-revenue model — the more debt that is transacted on its platform, the more continuous revenue the company generates over time.
Percent scored one of its biggest wins to date with the securitization of $144 million in debt originated by FAT Brands, the owners of popular restaurant franchises like Fatburger and Johnny Rockets. Percent acted as co-lead bookrunner with lead Jefferies for the debt announced yesterday, and FAT noted that its cost of capital was significantly lower than its previous two securitizations from last year. Given the changing macro environment and the radically shifting fortunes in the foods service business in the wake of COVID-19 though, it is hard to precisely identify what changed the cost of capital and what extent a modern technology stack helped the company's debt performance. Outside of FAT Brands, Percent has a list of many of its other originators available.
Nelson Chu, the founder and CEO of Percent, noted that he was particularly interested in finding investors with knowledge of capital markets and the enterprise sales cycle. He observed in an interview that as more and more VCs in recent years have tended to come from product and growth roles at startups rather than the traditional path through an investment bank, there are fewer VCs with knowledge or interest in the capital markets space.
Alavi at White Star has invested in a range of financial services and blockchain companies, while Page at B Capital has long been in the enterprise space at Apple and as an early employee at cloud provider Box.

Percent, which is headquartered in New York City and was founded in 2018, has expanded its team by double over the past year as it scales up its engineering and sales teams.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona is a 2008 romantic comedy-drama film written and directed by Woody Allen. The plot centers on two American women, Vicky (Rebecca Hall) and Cristina (Scarlett Johansson), who spend a summer in Barcelona where they meet an artist, Juan Antonio (Javier Bardem), who is attracted to both of them while still enamored of his mentally and emotionally unstable ex-wife María Elena (Penélope Cruz). The film was shot in Spain in Barcelona, Avilés and Oviedo, and was Allen's fourth consecutive film shot outside of the United States.
The film premiered at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival, then received a rolling worldwide general release that started on August 15, 2008, in the U.S., and continued in various countries until its June 2009 release in Japan.[4] The film was nominated for four Golden Globe Awards, including nominations for Bardem, Hall and Cruz for Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actress, respectively, and won the award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. Cruz won both the Academy Award and BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. Altogether, the film won 25 out of 56 nominations.

Vicky (Rebecca Hall) and Cristina (Scarlett Johansson) visit Barcelona for the summer, staying with Vicky's distant relative Judy (Patricia Clarkson) and her husband Mark (Kevin Dunn). While the two are great friends, Vicky is practical and traditional in her approach to love and commitment and is engaged to the reliable Doug (Chris Messina), whereas Cristina imagines herself to be a nonconformist, spontaneous but unsure of what she wants from life or love.
At an art exhibition, Cristina is intrigued by artist Juan Antonio (Javier Bardem), who Judy says has suffered a violent relationship with his ex-wife. Later, he brazenly approaches the two women to invite them to join him right away for the weekend in the city of Oviedo, in a small plane he flies himself, for sight-seeing, fine eating and drinking, and hopefully, love-making. Cristina is won over by the offer almost at once, but Vicky is unimpressed and reluctant; she however eventually decides to accompany her friend anyway, mainly to watch over her.
At the end of their first day, Vicky refuses to join Juan Antonio in his hotel room, citing her fidelity to Doug, but Cristina accepts his invitation immediately. Before the love-making starts, Cristina suddenly falls ill with digestive complaints, and is put to bed, with food poisoning. Vicky and Juan Antonio proceed to spend the weekend together alone while they wait for Cristina to recuperate. Vicky gradually changes her opinion of Juan Antonio as he tells her about his tumultuous relationship with his former wife, María Elena (Penélope Cruz). Vicky accompanies him to visit his father, an old poet, and then becomes deeply moved by a Spanish guitar performance later that evening. She finally succumbs to Juan Antonio's advances as they walk through a grove of trees in the dark. The next day, with Cristina recovered, the three of them fly back to Barcelona.
Feeling guilty, Vicky does not mention the incident to Cristina, and the two begin to grow apart. Vicky starts throwing herself into her studies while Cristina and Juan Antonio take up a relationship. Cristina then moves in with Juan Antonio and begins to discover more about his past. After learning that María Elena attempted to kill herself, Juan Antonio brings her to his home, where Cristina already lives. After some defiance, the two women grow fond of each other. Cristina realizes that the ex-spouses are still in love, and María Elena suggests that Cristina may be the element that can give balance and stability to their relationship. All three become romantically involved with one another.
In the meantime, Vicky is joined in Spain by an enthusiastic Doug and the two get married. When Cristina describes her new life with Juan Antonio to Vicky, Vicky becomes secretly jealous, and after a few other awkward moments, she realizes she is unsatisfied in her married life and is still attracted to Juan Antonio. Learning that Judy is similarly unhappy in her marriage, she confides to her, and Judy, who sees her younger self in Vicky, decides to bring Juan Antonio and Vicky together. Meanwhile, Cristina becomes restless and at some point decides to leave Juan Antonio and María Elena; without her, their relationship quickly falls apart again.
As the summer winds to a close, Judy arranges for Juan Antonio and Vicky to meet at a party. Juan Antonio begs Vicky to meet him again privately before leaving Spain, which she finally accepts, lying to Doug in the process. At his home, Juan Antonio seduces and wins Vicky over again, but they are interrupted by María Elena who bursts in with a gun, firing wildly as Juan Antonio tries to calm her. Vicky gets shot in the hand in the process, and leaves, shouting they are insane and she could never live like this. She confesses the entire story to Cristina, who never realized how Vicky felt about Juan Antonio, and wishes she could have helped her. Doug, Vicky and Cristina return to America; Doug never learns what truly happened, Vicky goes back to her married life, and Cristina is back where she started, unsure of what she wants.

The Spanish actor Joan Pera, who dubbed Allen's voice in his previous films, makes a cameo appearance.[5]
In 2007, controversy arose in Catalonia (Spain) because the film was partially funded with public money: Barcelona's city hall provided one million euro and the Generalitat de Catalunya (Government of Catalonia) half a million, or ten percent of the film's budget.[2]
This was the third time Johansson and Allen worked together, following Match Point and Scoop. This film also marked the second time Johansson and Hall worked together, the first time being in The Prestige.
The movie featured several paintings by the Catalan artist Agustí Puig. Puig was even commissioned to create a painting for the movie, the result being La Protectora II, though it was not used on set.[6]
The film was shot on location in Barcelona (Park Güell, Sagrada Família, Casa Milà) and Oviedo.[7]
Critical reception
As of July 2009, the film grossed $96 million worldwide; in relation to its $15 million budget,[2] it is one of Allen's most profitable films.[8]
Vicky Cristina Barcelona garnered the best reviews Allen received since his Oscar-nominated 2005 film Match Point (also starring Johansson), particularly for Cruz's performance, earning a rating of 82 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.[9]
Scott Tobias wrote in the Onion AV Club that it was "a witty and ambiguous movie that's simultaneously intoxicating and suffused with sadness and doubt".[10] Richard Roeper suggested that Cruz should receive an Academy Award nomination for her role.[11] Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle praised the film as "the work of a confident and mature artist", referring to Allen.[12] Manohla Dargis of The New York Times wrote "Although Vicky Cristina trips along winningly, carried by the beauty of its locations and stars — and all the gauzy romanticism those enchanted places and people imply — it reverberates with implacable melancholy, a sense of loss."[13] Richard Corliss ended his review of the film with "The movie has neither the sardonic heft of Max Ophüls's La Ronde nor the emotional precision of Ingmar Bergman's Smiles of a Summer Night, two films that also dance the change-partners gavotte. But Vicky Cristina Barcelona is so engaging so much of the time that it feels like a modest rejuvenation: evidence that a summer in Spain can do wonders for a writer-director who may not have outlived his prime."[14] S. Williams of Momzone magazine singled out Johansson's performance for praise, writing, "Johansson's acting is syrup: fluid and sweet."[15] Ian Freer of Empire gave the film 4 out of 5, and wrote "within Allen's recent output, Vicky Cristina is a highlight. See it for beautiful locales, an ambivalent look at human relationships and a clutch of great performances, especially from Cruz."[16]
The film appeared on many critics' top-ten lists of the best films of 2008.[17]
5th – David Denby, The New Yorker[17]
5th – Ray Bennett, The Hollywood Reporter[17]
5th – Robert Mondello, NPR[17]
7th – The Wall Street Journal[17]
7th – Keith Phipps, The A.V. Club[17]

8th – Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle[17]
9th – Carrie Rickey, The Philadelphia Inquirer[17]
10th – Michael Sragow, The Baltimore Sun[17]
The film won the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy.[18] Woody Allen won his first Independent Spirit Award for Best Screenplay and was nominated for the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Original Screenplay.
Penélope Cruz won the Best Supporting Actress award from numerous organizations including: the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, the Independent Spirit Awards, the Boston Society of Film Critics, the Goya Awards, the Kansas City Film Critics Circle, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, the National Board of Review, the New York Film Critics Circle, and the Southeastern Film Critics Association.[19]

A BADLY-TIMED holiday saw Football League outfit Macclesfield Town lose out to York City in the battle for Christian Smith's signature.
Midfielder Smith, who marked his Minstermen debut with a spectacular goal during last Saturday's 3-0 league win over Lewes, has also revealed he turned down two new contract offers from Wrexham to join the KitKat Crescent club.
The ex-Clyde utility man has instead renewed his acquaintance with City management's team of Martin Foyle and Andy Porter, who oversaw his development as a trainee when first-team boss and youth-team coach respectively at Port Vale.
Smith said: "Wrexham offered me a contract at the beginning of December, but I turned it down. I then got a second offer but, by then, I'd already made my mind up to leave.
"I had spoken to Martin at York, but told him and Wrexham that I was going to Macclesfield. I spent three days training there, but there was a delay in signing my contract because the chief executive was on holiday and, although the lads were great there, I didn't enjoy it because the training and style of play wasn't right for me.
Smith, 21, admitted that a lack of regular first-team football was also a factor behind his desire to move on from the Racecourse Ground.
City boss Foyle played a major role in Smith's move to Wrexham while he was Brian Little's assistant at the Welsh club but, since Dean Saunders' arrival as manager in October, the ex-Northwich loanee has only made two senior appearances.
Smith added: "I enjoyed my time at Wrexham and the coaching under Dean Saunders and his staff was great, but I wasn't making as many appearances as I would have liked.
"I spoke to Adam Smith, who came on trial at Wrexham, and he said that York was a good club to come to, having been here on loan himself.
Smith's 30-yard strike against Lewes was only his third goal in 49 first-team outings but, when he does net, it tends to be in spectacular fashion.
He said: "It was probably the best I've scored, although I did get a similar one when I was on loan at Cambridge. I hit one from the edge of the box on the half-volley and it went into the bottom corner.
As for his and the team's overall performance, Smith conceded it was the classic game of two halves, saying: "There was a lot of moaning from the crowd at half-time which I thought was a little harsh but we weren't at our best in the first half and I could have done a bit more.

Pilsen to host unique drone festival this weekend
Dronfest will include FPV races, Source: City of Pilsen / SITmP
Dronfest will take place on 2-3 October both physically and virtually
This weekend, the Czech City of Pilsen will host one of the largest drone events in the world. After a year's break, Dronfest will take place on 2-3 October at the SIT Port Complex in Cukrovarská Street. What is more, the festival's organisers will also make the event available online so that as many people as possible can attend.
Showcasing the latest technologies
The 2021 edition of Dronfest will offer a rich programme and feature a variety of activities. Experts and interesting guests will hold lectures on various topics, presenting the latest developments and trends in drones. Furthermore, there will be FPV (First Person View) races and competitions, with drones flying at over 100 kilometres per hour.
In a press release, the director of the Information Technology Administration of the City of Pilsen Luděk Šantora revealed that the Army of the Czech Republic will discuss the use of drones in connection to international missions. Beyond this, experts from Air Traffic Control, Civil Aviation Authority, and the Ministry of Transport will talk about autonomous drones and new legislation.
Mayor of Pilsen Martin Baxa commented on the city's use of drones, highlighting that Pilsen has cooperated with the integrated rescue system, police, firefighters, and rescuers over the years. In addition to this, Baxa noted that there are many other areas in which drones can prove to be useful.
"It is therefore logical that Pilsen organises such a unique festival, which was even ranked among the best events of its kind in the world. The fact that thousands of people from home and abroad attend every year testifies to its success," Baxa commented.
As previously stated, the 2021 edition of Dronfest will also take place virtually. According to Šantora, this is a novelty that has been prompted by the events of the past year. The online transmission will feature moderators and commentators who will ensure that the virtual format of the event is just as successful as the physical.

Join regulatory colleagues from your area for an informal meet-up to celebrate the holidays. This is a great opportunity to meet other regulatory professionals from your region in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Leaders from the Twin Cities Chapter will be onsite to talk about 2019 activities, so you can plan your calendar accordingly. We'll hold a raffle for a complimentary e-book version of RAPS' flagship publication Fundamentals of Regulatory Affairs, valued at $395. You must be present to win. We hope to see you there. Light refreshments will be provided, and drink expenses will be the responsibility of each attendee.
We also invite you to participate in the "RAPS Twin Cities Chapter Gives Back" holiday initiative. We'll be collecting donations for Ready for Success, a non-profit organization that provides low-income women and men with gently-used and new professional clothing, accessories and new personal care items suitable for job interviews and the workplace. To participate, consider bringing new or gently used accessories (i.e. scarves, jewelry, ties, belts or new socks) with you to the Holiday Social.


Summer Facials in Manhattan New York.
Get rid of summer grime, sweat and get back your glowing healthy skin at Dyanna Spa in Manhattan, NYC! As we enter the peak of the summer, there's one thing that's surely not slowing down any time soon…the sweltering heat and humidity that surrounds us day in and day out. As lovely as the ease of breezy weather can be at times, we may not realize the damages its doing to our skin.
Humidity causes our sweat glands to produce more oil than normal and because the layer of humidity prevents the sweat from evaporating into the air, it clings to skin creating a thick build up of oil which clogs pores and causes breakouts. What's worse is that sometimes our daily cleansers aren't powerful enough to truly remove all the grease. Yuck! At Dyanna Spa we offer a variety of facials specifically designed to reinvigorate and completely clear skin from whatever looms beneath the surface. With half of summer remaining, its time to regain your radiance and let your skin do the talking this season.
Deep Pore Cleansing Facial ($85 / 60 Minutes): The Deep Pore Cleansing Facial is perfect for the hot sticky weather and is a great option for all skin types. This facial is a thorough deep-pore cleansing facial that focuses on the extraction of white heads and black heads as well as other acne and impurities in the skin. The aesthetician first cleanses and purifies the skin prior to deep pore extrapolation, and then applies a soothing mask to moisturize and revive the skin, resulting in smooth grime-free glowing skin.
Peeling Facial ($65 / 60 Minutes) : For a truly rejuvenating experience, the Peeling Facial at Dyanna Spa is the perfect choice. This professional deep exfoliation uses vegetable and fruit enzymes to free your face of tired, dull surface skin cells leaving behind a fresh layer of skin that can take years off your overall look. Perfect for achieving effortless healthy skin.
Acne Prone/Problem Skin Facial ($85 / 60 Minutes) : This deep pore cleansing procedure is a perfect facial for those who are prone to acne and problematic seasonal skin. The facial incorporates Active Propolis and Blemish Control Mask as well as a Mud Mask to resolve your skin's problems. Extractions of oils and dirt inside of pores are performed when/where necessary and a healing module is utilized to assist the closure of any open or infected areas on the face. For best results, a series of visits is recommended. Speak with your aesthetician to find out if this treatment is right for you or for more details.
ADD COLLAGEN EYE TREATMENT AND/OR NECK FIRMING TREATMENT TO ANY FACIAL FOR $15 EACH!
Collagen Eye Treatment: The Collagen Eye Treatment is a great way to reduce the fine wrinkles and bags that form around the eyes as a result of aging, stress, and weather conditions such as humidity. This quick procedure adds firming collagen to the skin which can instantly reduce signs of aging and puffiness around the eyes.
Neck Firming Treatment: The Neck Firming Treatment at Dyanna Spa is a perfect added touch of relaxation to any facial. This treatment firms, lifts, and moisturizes the neck leaving you looking and feeling more rejuvenated with each treatment.
There is a reason Dyanna Spa was voted the "Best Brazilian Waxing" spa in New York City by Citysearch. Our experienced technicians use a special wax formula to remove unwanted hair that is safe, effective, and practically pain-free. We can discreetly remove all of the hair around the genital area or leave a narrow strip. When you make your appointment, our experts will answer any questions you have about the Brazilian wax method. Dyanna Spa offers Brazilian wax treatments for both men and women.
Next, you'll want to get a manicure and a pedicure using our OPI No-Chip gel from our nail salon. With this manicure, you won't have to worry about chipping, scratching, or dullness. What's more, an OPI No-Chip manicure lasts up to two weeks. Our manicurists, who were also voted the best in Citysearch, will buff your nails, push back your cuticles, and apply the gel. OPI No-Chip gel is wonderfully quick drying so you won't have to worry about smudged nails. You will simply love the variety of colors, and the special pampering you receive at Dyanna's Spa.
Start your summer vacation by giving us a call at (212) 995-2355 to make an appointment. Then you'll be ready for your date with the good old summertime.
Manhattan's Dyanna Spa Nail Salon recently announced that OPI launched seven new shades of their Shatter nail lacquer, proving that nail art is still alive and well. OPI first came out with their Shatter nail polish about ten years ago. It is now so trendy that both Katy Perry and Serena Williams have teamed up with OPI to brand the collection.
Shatter nail polish creates a marbled, cracked design when applied over a contrasting base coat color. The Shatter coat manicure actually separates when dried, resulting in a classy and cool look.
It's important that the two-texture finish be applied carefully. The first OPI color must be completely dry before applying the Shatter polish. After the Shatter polish is applied, you can see the effect take place immediately. It's very, very cool.
An OPI top coat is great for a high-gloss finish once both coats are completely dry. It will also help prevent chipping, seal in the color, and prolong the beauty of the manicure. The top coat is recommended by the professionals at Dyanna Spa Nail Salon.
Some of the new colors — Turquoise, Navy, and Blue Shatter — reflect the shades of summertime on the beach. The other hues, White, Silver, Red, and Black Shatter, are classic colors but unique in their crackled appearance.
Dyanna Spa Nail Salon has a large variety of OPI Shatter nail lacquer shades to suit any occasion. So book your appointment and call (212) 995-2355.

Tired of continually having to worry about hair removal? Electrolysis is the one true and tired method of permanent hair removal that is FDA approved! During the electrolysis treatment process hair is removed directly from the follicle to ensure a permanent removal.

Get smooth skin that will last you all summer in a quick 5 minutes. Have all day to spend at Dyanna Spa? Try our 60 minute treatment for silky skin all over!

Then, choose from a large selection of colors and hues from only top quality nail lacquer's such as OPI No Chip Polish, and Essie, and watch as your nails pop to life. We've picked out a few of our personal favorites in order to show our true colors this 4th of July.
Go above and beyond your regular pedicure treatment and treat yourself to something you deserve. The summer heat can put a lot of strain in our feet, and flip-flops often don't provide enough support leaving out feet aching and sore. Our Jelly-Pedi treatment is our most unique yet as it aims to relieve stressed out feet while exfoliating and hydrating dry and cracked skin. Your feet will leave cooled off and ready to tackle whatever your 4th of July may bring.


August 2016 was a hot month in New York City. Everyday produced a high temperature of 79°F or higher and seven days saw the mercury climb into the 90s, which is three more than normal. Moreover, August brought the Big Apple its second heat wave of the season. With overnight lows also running mostly above normal, the city's mean temperature for the month was 79.2°F, which is 4°F above average. That makes August 2016 the city's 3rd warmest August on record.
On the precipitation side of things, August was unusually dry and marked the fifth month this year that NYC received below average rainfall. All told, the city received a mere 1.97 inches of rain in Central Park, which is 2.47 inches below normal. As a result, according to the latest report (8/30) from the US Drought Monitor, the city remains in a state of moderate drought.

Moms Clean Air Force strongly opposes Exelon-Pepco merger
Writing on behalf of its 1,700+ D.C. members, the organization Moms Clean Air Force submitted a forceful statement explaining why the group opposes Exelon's attempt to take over Pepco.
Their statement says in part:
Washington, DC enjoys a national reputation as an innovator in sustainability, renewables and energy efficiency. Yet the proposed merger threatens that reputation and threatens DC's autonomy to cultivate local renewable resources in particular.
In our work around the country, MCAF has the chance to observe the behavior of large electrical monopolies or near-monopolies that are vertically integrated as well. Many of these companies tend to oppose renewables development. Because these companies combine the profit motive of energy generation with the business of retain distribution, they view renewables and efficiency as competition. We observe them running hard against urgently needed policy progress.
You can read their full statement here.

Pragmatic Play Casino Software – History, Games & Online Casinos
PRAGMATIC PLAY REVIEW
Play Pragmatic Play Games at Online Casinos
It's no secret that Pragmatic Play is dominating today's market. However, the magnitude of their success seems even greater when you consider all the situational factors in play.
Unlike online gaming in the 2000s, the current era puts an emphasis on versatility. Casino sites that don't prioritize multiple niches at the same time are falling behind slowly, but surely. Take Ainsworth Game Technology as an example. They've been deadset on releasing only slots, which resulted in a significant dent in their status in the industry.
Pragmatic Play, on the other hand, managed to grow into a true iGaming behemoth. They're equally recognized for slots and table games, all while adding some interesting B2B solutions to the mix.
The company has been going strong for over a decade, which resulted in some difficulties when it came to judging Pragmatic Play in an objective manner. Well, we sought to ignore all the obstacles and analyze every single aspect of this software supplier.
In this review, we'll cover each product category they offer, along with listing all the best Pragmatic Play online casinos. Thus, all you have to do is soak up the knowledge, find a great bonus, and be ready to immerse yourself in a plethora of amazing titles. Let's go!

LIST OF BEST PRAGMATIC PLAY ONLINE CASINOS
In 2020, starting your own casino site has never been smoother. Software suppliers are very liberal when it comes to sites they collaborate with. This sudden change in the industry was, believe it or not, caused by the players themselves.
They started demanding more openness, and less of a focus on hype and exclusivity. Therefore, many sites started 'opening up' by buying games by the pound, from many different providers. However, we'll stay focused on Pragmatic Play casinos.
With developers working overtime to meet the demand from all corners of the world, Pragmatic Play managed to 'squeeze' itself into almost every casino imaginable.
As they're a reputable company, we wanted to find out what's the very best online casino with Pragmatic games. Our enthusiasm was almost overshadowed by the sheer number of candidates, but we managed to narrow the selection down a little bit.
Using our custom algorithms and testing methods, we put over 30 online casinos to the test. Most of them fought valiantly but failed to include all the features necessary to enjoy Pragmatic Play titles to the fullest.
Aside from the likes Wishmaker, PlayOJO, and SlotsMillion, we also included some newcomers and underrated sites. Popularity isn't everything. Casino Bloke always prioritizes quality, and that will always remain the same.
Nevertheless, every site we've listed is licensed in one or more jurisdictions, with ample security measures implemented to protect you, the player. We made sure that there were no loopholes, just so that you can play casino games the way they're supposed to – relaxedly.
So, take a look at the list, try out every site, and choose a casino that fits exactly what you want. Trust us, it's going to be fun!

PRAGMATIC PLAY BONUSES
Are you satisfied with what you've seen from Pragmatic so far? Well, we certainly are. This deeper look into the inner workings of the company's products allowed us to perceive them in a different way.
Fortunately, this change of perception allowed us to start with more detailed coverage. Pragmatic Play indeed has a lot to offer, but they're not the only factor when it comes to creating an ideal online gaming experience.
That's right. Like we already mentioned in the first section of this Pragmatic Play review, the casinos themselves bear the largest part of the burden. Basically, the setup and quality of a casino site can make or break your sessions. And it all starts with the bonus.
But what's the general purpose of playing with a Pragmatic Play bonus? Even though you can gain a lot from making such a choice, it all boils down to this:
You can use the money from the bonus to have your very own test run of the site – all while not spending a dime of your own cash
You can play in a much more relaxed manner – no worrying about losing
You can use the cash to place bigger bets – winning more should always be a goal of yours, at least partially
With that in mind, it's worth pointing out that almost every Pragmatic Play casino site has a bonus or two. Or ten. That's why we claimed every one and pitted them against one another.
The Casino Bloke team of experts tested every aspect of these bonuses, from playthrough requirements to the clarity of the T&C. As a result, the following list was created.
Consider your own preferences and needs, create an account directly via our site, and prepare to be rewarded. Good luck!

TOP PRAGMATIC PLAY CASINO BONUSES
Even though Pragmatic Play bonuses are mostly about money, but they're not all about money. See a slight difference? It's in this paradox that other factors come to play.
You see, even though a bonus might seem lucrative, it's always important to read between the lines. Oftentimes, we see online casinos promoting new Pragmatic Play slots with big banners saying things like '$1000 bonus for Drago – Jewels of Fortune – CLAIM NOW!' While this is very enticing, other stipulations make the cash basically worthless.
How high are the wagering requirements? Can you use the bonus in multiple sections of the casino or not? How much time you have to use the bonus? Is there anything else you should know?
All these questions are paramount when you're going bonus hunting. Pragmatic Play has quite a few excellent titles, so it's essential that you pick the best option.
To help you come to a decision, we prepared a selection of promotions that we think will fit you. Each has its own distinct set of advantages, so you can't go wrong with any of them.
LIST OF TOP PRAGMATIC PLAY SLOTS
'Quantity over quality' should be written on a sticky note and placed above your computer whenever you're looking to test a new game provider. However, Pragmatic Play defies this mantra by releasing a few new games each month, all while maintaining that same level of quality they're known and loved for.
Slots are the crown jewel of their portfolio, and boy, do they have a lot of contenders for this section!
We would like to start with the cult classic, Madame Destiny. A Halloween-like theme goes well with all the creepy and witchy symbols, all existing as a part of a high volatile title. The maximum win might be only 950x, but the point of Madame Destiny is not to win big, but often. Free spins can take you on a fun ride, no doubt.
Next, we have Da Vinci's Treasure, which is one of the more experimental titles by Pragmatic Play. You have the opportunity to potentially increase your initial wager by a 48,000-fold, so you know the stakes are high. Progressive Free Spins are an amazing addition to an aesthetically pleasing UI, next to MapQuest and the Prize Picker. We're getting some strong Indiana Jones vibes from this one.
Wolf Gold should also be on your bucket list, as it's probably Pragmatic's best slot to date. The real treat in this game is the special ability of reels 2, 3, and 4, as they can sometimes connect into one big symbol (which may very well be a wild one). There is also the Money Respin Feature, which serves as a clever way to boost your bankroll for a few extra spins. Don't miss on Wolf Gold, it's an iGaming experience like no other.
PRAGMATIC PLAY SLOTS RTP
Every form of software that Pragmatic Play releases is under the watchful eye of the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) and the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA). The Gibraltar Gaming Commissioner (GGC) and the Gaming Board of the Bahamas (GBB) have also given Pragmatic the green light to operate within their jurisdictions.
This means that every game is tested extensively before being released. Third parties like Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) and the Technical Services Bureau (TSB) also tests the titles.
This means that all Pragmatic Play games are 100%, without even the slighted indication of fraud or fixed mechanisms. There are slots on both sides of the spectrum, so it's up to you to decide whether you want to solely win, or have a little more fun on the site.
Below, you'll find a list that includes the RTP of every Pragmatic Play title, along with our subjective rating. Take your pick!

WHAT CASINO GAMES DO THEY PROVIDE?
While Pragmatic Play may be versatile, they're lagging behind in terms of table games. As of July 2020, there are only four titles available – Roulette, American Blackjack, Multihand Blackjack, and Baccarat.
Even though this is by no means close to the offers of providers such as NetEnt, you have the option to choose between four solid and smooth titles. The RTPs are decent, but we would love to see more variants added in the near future.
Nevertheless, you can still have fun if you're looking at a solid set of choices. Jacks or Betters is also available, along with a nice set of live dealer titles.
PRAGMATIC PLAY FEATURED GAMES
Picking just a few flagship games from Pragmatic's entire catalog is a daunting task, to say the least. If you asked 50 online casino aficionados about their favorite PP title, chances are that you would get a different answer from each person.
With that being said, there are games that stand above the rest. Keep in mind that our choice is subjective. You may find something you like outside of the top six, so it's important to do as much research as you can.
Be that how it may, Wolf Gold, Madame Destiny, Caishen's Cash, Wild Spells, Italian Roulette, and Pyramid King are our favorites.
PRAGMATIC PLAY TABLE GAMES
Like we already mentioned, there are only four table games available by Pragmatic Play, at the moment. We don't know the exact reason for the company's reluctance to release more titles. However, we wish they decreased their slots-related volume of releases and become much more versatile. Still, the overall quality is ubiquitous, so they deserve a very slight pass.
The games in their current portfolio are Roulette, American Blackjack, Multihand Blackjack and Baccarat. They all sport a nice, polished design and simple UI models. Nothing that we haven't seen before, but it's still good that these titles exist, providing versatility for Pragmatic Play online consumers.
PROGRESSIVE JACKPOT GAMES FROM PRAGMATIC PLAY
Currently, there are no progressive jackpots supplied by Pragmatic Play. Don't worry, there is a more than decent substitute – 8 jackpot titles. Wolf Gold and Diamond Strike lead the pack, with Great Rhino quickly becoming one of our favorite jackpots in recent. Also, take a look at Chilli Heat, Wild Spells and Fire 88.
Still, the lack of full-fledged progressive slots is a big stain on Pragmatic's report card. Get yourselves together, guys.
OTHER PRAGMATIC PLAY GAMES
When it comes to other titles, there are quite a few to choose from. Firstly, you should give the scratchcards a go. Pragmatic Play considers them to be their flagship line of software, so you shouldn't hesitate to think outside the box and switch it up. Consider Wolf Gold Scratchcard, 7 Piggies Scratchcard or Hot Safari Scratchcard.
There is Keno available, too. While it might not be as popular as 10 or so years ago, this iconic game still draws thousands of players on a daily basis. Bingo and Video Poker are also available in the Pragmatic Play lobby. Not too shabby, to be honest.
PRAGMATIC PLAY LIVE DEALER GAMES
Pragmatic Play launched its Live Casino line only recently, much to the joy of every casino expert and player. The UI supports 30 languages and is built on a strong HTML5 foundation.
Currently, you're able to play the following games:
Mega Wheel
Mega Sic Bo
Auto-Roulette
Roulette Italy
Roulette Germany
Roulette Russia
Roulette Macao
Without a doubt, this is a very solid live casino section. Pragmatic Play isn't all that experienced in this particular niche. Their studio is very impressive, while the presenters all have their distinct personalities, as well as the freedom to engage in lovely chats with players.
Overall, we had a very pleasant experience with Pragmatic's live dealer titles. If you love real-time action and need a little bit of extra adrenaline – go for it.
Did you know that Pragmatic Play is also licensed by the Oficiul National Pentru Jocuri de Noroc (the National Gambling Office of Romania). This is a rare honor, as Romania is very strict when it comes to allowing foreign brands to enter their market.
Aside from providing games to casino sites, Pragmatic Play also offers various B2B marketing solutions. If an online casino purchases their titles, they get additional assistance when it comes to implementing promotional tools, both in-site and in-game. That's not something you see every day. Great job.
Pragmatic Play was initially founded as TopGame but rebranded themselves in the early 2010s.
OUR VERDICT ON PRAGMATIC PLAY
Let's face it – no casino software provider is perfect from top to bottom. Every company has its own ideology, along with distinct ideas that can't be easily understood just about everyone. Pragmatic Play checks almost all the essential boxes. They are a versatile company but are somewhat lacking in the table games department.
Their slots, on the other hand, are a thing of beauty. You can find titles based on just about everything, with equal amounts of innovation and old-school influence. A solid provider that still has a lot to show us – that's how we would describe Pragmatic Play in one sentence.
Excellent live casino portfolio
Consistently releasing new titles without compromising quality
Secure & Reputable
Licensed in five different jurisdictions
Lack of table games
More B2B oriented than most companies
PRAGMATIC PLAY FAQs
Most Common Questions About Pragmatic Play Games & Casinos
Why is Pragmatic Play so popular?
They are a young company, but a company that knows what it's doing. In the last 10 or so years, Pragmatic Play has successfully balanced between quality and quality. They're also becoming more versatile with each day.
How do I know if I can play Pragmatic Play titles where I live?
Check with your local gambling regulatory body. They will be able to tell you if Pragmatic is clear to operate in your own region.
Are there are a lot of fake Pragmatic Play games?
Yes, but not as much as NetEnt and some other providers get copied. To avoid falling for a fake, check every casino's licensing and credentials. Safety is a priority.
Can I use credit cards to fund playing Pragmatic Play titles?
In most cases, yes. However, this ultimately depends on the decisions of the casino site itself. Some online casinos have decided to go eWallet-only or crypto-only. Check with each site to see if they will accept your VISA/MasterCard/Maestro.

Q: SQL count zero even when there are no records? I am using SQL Server 2008
I have 2 tables

*

*PS
Columns: PS_ID(PK), AID(FK), PS_Vendor

*System
Columns: System_ID(PK), AID(FK), Sys_Prod
The two tables are connected thru PS.AID = System.AID
I have to find the count of PS_Vendors for each SYS_Product and the total for each Sys_product.
My output has to look like:
PS_Vendor Sys_product Count Total
 ABC         A         2      10
 ABC         B         5      20
 ABC         C         0      15

 XYZ         B         0      20
 XYZ         C         12     15

I created a view called PS_system_View:
select * from system
left outer join ps
on ps.aid=system.aid

I am having trouble combining these
select B.ps_vendor, A.sys_product, B.Count,A.Total from

C. Wright Mills called for a truly sociological analysis of actors' "motive talk," which decouples the commonsense link between the reasons actors give for their actions and their mental state prior to those actions. Subsequent theoretical and empirical work has focused almost entirely on actors' retrospective accounting for untoward conduct that has already taken place. The other aspect of Mills's program, the reasons actors give for potentially untoward future conduct and in particular the empirical investigation of the link between the availability of an acceptable vocabulary of motives for anticipated conduct and the eventual enactment of that conduct, has been largely ignored. This article seeks to rehabilitate these lost dimensions using data from a longitudinal study of mothers' infant feeding choices and practices. It examines how mothers account, in advance, for the possibility that they may eventually feed their babies in ways they consider suboptimal. Thirty of the thirty-six women interviewed indicated that they intended to breastfeed, emphasizing the benefits of this practice to their babies. However, seventeen of these women also anticipated that they might abandon breastfeeding and presented elaborate accounts of the motives that could lead them to do so. The findings support Mills's claim that the availability of an acceptable vocabulary of motives for untoward conduct increases the probability that one will engage in such conduct. Mothers who had offered elaborate anticipatory accounts for abandoning breastfeeding were much more likely to do so than those who did not offer such accounts.

Peter Gabriel, Scratch My Back Album Cover, 2010
By Marc Bessant
The front cover of Peter Gabriel's "Scratch My Back", a symphonic album released in February 2010. Photographer Stephen Gschmeissner discovered this image via a scanning electron microscope which uses a finely focused beam of electrons to construct a 3D image of each specimen that can be magnified up to a million times. Designer Marc Bessant, who selected the image, felt that the two objects symbolized "how sensuous the music was sounding with just the two elements - Peter and the strings."

When I came to plan the Super Drumming series for German TV Jon was an obvious choice. His jazz and rock background was as eclectic as my own and I admired his musicianship and dedication to the art of drumming greatly. During the filming I got to know Jon and Barbara rather better and that was delightful. Their performances on our show were hugely impressive and I will never forget their kindness and concern for my health. Thinking of Jon's mastery of the instrument is still inspirational to me.

It began with an LP of the Graham Bond Organisation. In 1968 heard Walking in the park, at the tim I was working in a warehouse in the center of Frankfurt, selling records. Especially on crowdy Saturdays I blasted the tiny speaker system with sounds of Colosseum. My sales increased, colleagues felt terrorized by that kind of music, so the boss upgraded me being responsable to order the records. In 1970 first saw Colosseum at a pop festival in Cologne, two concerts, they had to avoid breaks because other acts did not show up. Jon Hiseman ant he band played like hell, I was close to the stage. Years later another concert, again and again, then Barbara Thompson, with her Paraphernalia, later with Jon Hiseman at the drums. Always inspiring. At a concert in a Frankfurt museum I took the chance talking with both, absolutely friendly, open, warm, no arrogance, patient with me, just completely normal. One time during a show Jon asked the public if there was anybody who has a bed for that same night for one of the musicians, "We are an economioc band, so..." People were stunned and laughing. There is no musician of which I attended more concerts, about 10 or 12. There are two important things in life, time and good feelings. Jon, and Barbara, thank you for giving me both.

As a young drummer, I was a massive fan - and in awe - of Jon (and Colosseum). 30 years ago, I booked Jon to host a drum clinic alongside a Paraphernalia gig, so I finally got to meet my hero! (and Barbara). Currently, I play in a band with Ray Fenwick (ex. of Spencer Davis group and Ian Gillan Band). We've just recruited a new vocalist, Mike Starrs, who was a member of Colosseum II. Small world!

I saw Jon for the first time with Colosseum II at an open air festival in Scheesel. That was 1976. I was so thrilled. From then on, he was my biggest drum hero. I never thought at the time, that 42 years later, due to a sad occasion, I would fly to London with part of my family for his tribute concert. I also miss him very much, but I will always remember him.

AVATAR: Avatar Country
AVATAR COUNTRY
(EONE)
EPIC METAL: Having initially established themselves as a melodic death metal band before evolving into a more nu metal affair, Avatar continues to follow the progressive leanings displayed on 2016's Feathers & Flesh, and they hold nothing back. The press release that announced the arrival of Avatar Countryfeels more like the précis of a fantasy novel, or a show coming soon to rival Game of Thrones, and with every song title making reference to "The King," they have once again hurled themselves headlong into concept album territory. With choral opener "Glory to Our King" setting the scene, they're off and running, the eight plus minutes of "Legend of the King" a whirling storm of insanely fast picking, surging excitement, and drawn out grandiosity, sounding very much like it would be at home on Avenged Sevenfold's latest full-length. However, this is not a case of setting a template for what follows, because musically it is all over the place from that point on. "The King Welcomes You to Avatar Country" sees them touring the South with AC/DC blasting on the stereo, "A Statue of the King" could be Judas Priest gone nu metal, while it closes with back to back mostly electronic instrumentals. Pulled apart, it might not all work, but somehow as a cohesive work it does, in a gloriously bonkers sort of way. ~ Dan Slessor
