In the first of a series of one-sided blowouts across the weekend in North Eastern football, last year's flag winner, the BSR Tigers beat their grand final opponent, another potential premiership candidate, RSMU, by a massive 96-point (16-goal) margin. The Tigers inflicted Steve Lubcke's worst loss as a coach in over a decade in his off-field roles across three rural leagues. The ambush of Tigers, in this game at Riverton Oval, were already 12 goals up at half-time and won the game 19.8 (122) to the Hawks 4.2 (26). BSR playing coach Liam Whitwell explained that his team played consistent football across the three areas, the forwards, the midfield and in the backlines. "It was our best win for the year we got the little things right," Whitwell said. "When selecting our best player for the game I couldn't separate Alex Morgan and Lachlan Wilsdon, although the latter won the MAC Medal as the best player on the ground. "I personally didn't play too much in the game, but we had 20 other players that contributed on the day. "There is still improvement in the group and it was the first time we had the full list on the park this year." Along with Wilsdon and Morgan, Andrew Cousins and Jack Haarsma won plenty of contested ball while big Will Hennessy was a tower of strength in ruck and Matty Longbottom was also consistent around the contest. Morgan kicked five goals in a big personal effort. Todd Culley and Luke Hayes finished with three majors, while teenager Mitchell Catford chimed in with a couple as well. BSR coach Whitwell was also happy with his defence, saying that Adam MacKenzie kept Craig Mullins to just one goal, with Tom Wilsdon getting on top of Damian Hynes after the first quarter. Better players for the RSMU Hawks were Patrick Browne and Cooper Behn while Hynes had his moments early. South defeated the 2018 cellar-dwellers Min-Man at Manoora Oval by a massive 121-point margin in a distinctly one-sided affair. Already 61 points up at half-time they continued to dominate this game all afternoon. The Demons would go on to win the clash quite handsomely, 22.13 (145) to the Eagles modest 3.6 (24). "It was a good even performance across the entire group and the squad was switched on from the start," South Clare coach Justin Michael said. "Previously the Eagles were a strong opponent and this time we used the ball really well especially by foot. "Kicking towards the Southern or clubrooms end against the breeze we set up the victory. "We had strong and able performers all over the park and it was an emphatic win; both in the way we went about it and the result on the scoreboard." Among the many strong performances for South Clare was Alex Faulkner, who is currently in a purple patch of form, SANFL experienced Dom Costanzo, and Matthew Allen ,who won the MAC Medal in the game. Alex Heinrich in ruck, young Ben Dinning and defender Reece Hocking all were noteworthy for the Dees. Captain Brodie Murphy kicked four goals while Dinning and Costanzo both finished with three each. The pair of Alex Falconer and Mitch Reynolds both kicked two goals and there were 13 different goal kickers for the Demons in the win. Coach Justin Michael was also happy with the performance of his captain Brodie Murphy up forward and Ethan Featherstonehaugh was also among the better players. For the beaten Min-Man Eagles side Dylan Ribbons, young Henry Gosse and indigenous talent Steve Rusca were good. Both Eagles premiership veteran Luke McDermid and Christopher Dodd deserve a mention as well. The closest match of the round was North Clare's 80-point triumph over the Southern Saints at Eudunda Oval. After an even first term North kicked unanswered goals in the second term to set up victory. The Roosters won the game 19.15 (129) to Southern Saints 6.13 (49). North Clare coach Peter Cook said the team's defensive pressure was the key. "After the first quarter we gradually got on top in defence and our key forwards started to get enough of the ball to seriously impact the scoreboard. "Our four goals into the breeze in the first quarter also helped and the wind dropped the way after half-time. "Dallas Hill was simply outstanding in the first half and kicked four goals until that break, while Anthony Simpson was an important component at centre half forward and Tyson Pawley got enough of the ball to kick five goals. "James Brown was a good contributor across half-forward as well. "Our young ruckmen Jacob Nickolai and (Tom) Huppatz are growing into their roles as well." Along with Hill, one of the North Eastern's Mail Medal favourites, Tom Stevens, and fellow midfielder Jake Panoho, had big days. Ben Cross, Brown and former SA under 18 player Huppatz also got mentioned in the Roosters best player list for the game. Pawley finished with five goals while Dallas Hill had snaffled his four majors in the first half. James Brown and Tommy Stevens both finished with three, while Anthony Simpson snaffled a pair. For the Saints their best player was Zac Green across half back. Brodie Launer and skipper Kurubyn Floyd at the coalface, Rhys Schirmer, Jack Wilkins and big man Jed Michalk also have their moments. Dane Pfitzner kicked two early goals playing up forward, but disappointingly for the Saints, he came off before half-time With a 111-point win and with the Hawks' loss, Blyth-Snowtown move back into the top two on the premiership ladder after a one-sided triumph over the Burra-Booborowie-Hallett Rams. The Cats were already nine goals up at half-time and kicked their opponents of the park. At the final siren the scoreboard read the Cats 21.15 (141) defeating the Rams 4.6 (30). "It was the best with played in the last six weeks and our six into the breeze towards the Balaklava end of the ground really set up the victory," Cats coach Carey Payne said. "When you're nearly 10 goals up at half-time and give you the opportunity to play people in different positions. "We had Matt Hartwig on a wing for a half and then Ricky Wiseman also played in that role. "On Thursday night we selected Scott Atkinson to play but he pulled out before the game, so we'll be cautious with him from now. "We will get Reuben Ottens back and Ash Giles is available in a couple of weeks as well. "There had been a bit of a curse on our "milestone" players, but Shay Clifford played one of his best games for the season in his 250th last Saturday. "I'd mention his wonderful achievement and service to Blyth-Snowtown before the game to the boys and they delivered for Shay. Tall, fast and agile Cameron Giles across half back and Caleb Lloyd were the Cats best players. They were followed by Callen Kennett, Ryan Darling and Ricky Wiseman. Clifford also got a mention, along with kicking three goals. Matthew Hartwig and Callen Kennett both finished with three goals as well, while Ricky Wiseman, Darling finished with two majors each. Better players for the BBH side were Tommy Drew and Jack Rowe along with key forward Robbie Bartee and Lachlan McInnis Chase Webster and Casey Cooper was stoic against the odds as well.

How Wells Fargo Cost my Business $5000
We've been banking with Wells Fargo since Edoceo started in 2001. Some recent incompetence by Wells Fargo ("WF") has caused us to re-evaluate that position.
Mis-Represented Fees
When we started there and opened the three standard accounts (Checking, Savings, Line of Credit) they were all linked together. We were told that if we had enough assets (or liabilities) with WF that fees for these accounts would be waived. Naturally, this appealed to us.
So, the owners personal banking moved to WF, a second business interest also created accounts there. The sum total of these accounts was well over their minimum threshold to waive the fees. It met the requirements we were told about: the assets of this one natural-person exceeded the base-line set by WF.
However, the fees were not waived. We had few in-branch visits, brought this to the attention of the tellers, who said it would be resolved. They manually reversed fees; but next month they were back. This process continued for a few months.
Then, on one visit we were told that we didn't meet their minimum asset requirements; It isn't the sum-total of assets from one natural-person; it's measured per account operator (Edoceo, the Owner and one other business interest). So, despite meeting the requirements stated to us by in-person bankers we're still charged fees.
We were told that if we did an automatic transfer that fees would be waived; so we set that up. Guess what? Still charged fees.
Those account fees, bill-pay fees have a sum-total over $2000. That number doesn't include any penalties or other charges - it's just account fees.
Failure to Auto-Pay
When our three business accounts were created we had them all tied together - as advised by the banking staff. The Line of Credit; attached to our checking was subscribed to auto-pay (a very common practice). That process worked properly for quite some time. In about 2008 that stopped for some unknown reason. As a result we missed two payments against that LoC; which caused the rates to sky-rocket and cost fees.
We went into a branch, spoke to a teller who apologised for their mistake. Told me they were re-enabling the auto-pay feature and that all would be OK. Auto-pay then worked properly for 2008 and 2009 but again magically stopped towards the end of 2010.
Talking to the bank about it again we were told it was never configured to auto-pay (but how did it for the previous nine years?). We were asked to fill out and sign some form, in the branch, to re-enable auto-pay. We've done that (twice now) and auto-pay is still not working properly.
The Address Debacle
This one has cost the most head-ache; Wells Fargo cannot seem to get our address correct.
When the office moved in 2008 we dutifully went to the on-line banking application and update our address in their system. As of 2012 the old address is still floating around their system (and impacts us later). In 2011 our statements and other forms suddenly reverted to the previous address, w/o warning. And, oddly, a change of address was sent to notify us - but that notification also went to the pre-2008 address. We missed statements and other necessary business information due to this error by WF.
Going back into the on-line banking system we again corrected our address. Change notification was sent, and we thought all was well. Until again in 2012 we noticed that WF was issue tax documents for our business that again had that four year old address. It also contained the WRONG COMPANY NAME.
We've spent more than 10 hours in the branch or on the phone with WF to attempt to correct this issue. Each time the representative from WF said it would be fixed once-and-for all. Imagine our surprise when, just yesterday, we received forms from the bank - which again had the wrong company name and address.
This clearly demonstrates that Wells Fargo cannot even manage even the simplest set of data for their customers.
Unauthorised Account Creation
This was the biggest disaster (so far). Towards the end of 2011 we received a call from a banker at Wells Fargo. Paul told us there was a way that we could reduce our account fees if we simply switched our account package from A to B. We told him we were interested.
A few days later we discovered that we had six, yes six, new accounts a Wells Fargo - two new checking, two new savings and two new LoC accounts. What was really odd is that the account numbers for these new account were different by only five numbers. As if this guy Paul created new accounts for us; then repeated the process. I hope those six new accounts helped put him over his new account quota for the month.
We've had to cancel/close those accounts; but not before paying some fees for those accounts - which we never authorised in the first place. Not to mention the fact that it took three requests (one phone, two in branch) to get those accounts to properly close.
Mis-representing their products and disabling the auto-pay has increased our fees and charges with the bank. Repeated mistakes with our address has cost us time & time & time. Expensive time; missing bank-statements because they went to the wrong address (again and again) costs a small business time and money they don't have. And those unauthorised new accounts, cost again time and money to get resolved.
It's not a stretch; by any measure to conclude that we've spent not only a good deal of cash-money dealing with their incompetence but also (and more importantly) we've had to use our valuable time to correct their mistakes. For a small business operator that time is valuable - every hour spent in branch or on the phone to fix what WF broke is time we cannot bill for.
So, yes, obviously, after reviewing our situation it's unlikely that we'll continue with WF; nor would we recommend their services to anyone. It appears that the small-local banks might be the better option for your small business.

I told my students to take out their pencils and paper and "draw with me" as I sketched an outline of basic insect anatomy on the board. Barely a hand moved. This was unusual because this was an upper division class in insect identification at a Chinese university. And Chinese students are by habit very obedient.
One small problem was that many had not brought notebooks with paper to class.
The larger problem was that many had become PowerPoint-addicted. They were accustomed to their teachers projecting fully-complete and complex illustrations. They were conditioned to passively observe and memorize. They did not know how to build up concepts themselves.
"You learn in your arm as you draw the structures," I say half jokingly. But there is a teaching truth: blackboards, white marker boards, and overhead projectors are clearly superior when it comes to building concepts.
With a quiz every day, nearly every student was bringing notebook paper and pencils by the third class.
"PowerPoint makes us stupid" is a quote from Marine General James Mattis, the U.S. Joint Forces Commander in 2010. The military's fiasco with PowerPoint came to a head and made the front page of The New York Times in April 27, 2010. War presentations had become so complex they were incomprehensible. NYT reporter Elisabeth Bumiller reported General McChrystal as saying "When we understand that slide, we'll have won the war."
Additionally, "Brig. Gen. H.R. McMaster, who banned PowerPoint presentations when he led the successful effort to secure the northern Iraqi City of Tal Afar in 2005, followed up at the same conference by likening PowerPoint to an internal threat."
The view of those military commanders was that the "rigid lists of bullet points" are a problem because PowerPoint "stifles discussion, critical thinking and thoughtful decision-making."
"Death by PowerPoint" is not just a military phrase. It accurately describes this major snooze-generator in high schools and universities. Freshly-minted professors often enter their first classrooms proudly armed with a detailed PowerPoint outline packed with illustrations taken from the internet. And they stick to their projected scripts regardless of their students' questions and misunderstandings.
We formerly derided the aging professor who read from class notes that had yellowed over decades, unchanged from his first class. Today, some young professors use technology to make the same mistake, sometimes reading their PowerPoint slides verbatim (yawn!).
And to achieve boredom and lack-of-learning in the first degree, some young professors even print off class handouts that have mini-pictures of their full PowerPoint sequence, thus "freeing" the student from the onerous task of taking notes (and actually learning something).
One (now retired) colleague who would never use PowerPoint, closed her office door two hours before each class and wrote out her class outline afresh, modifying it for the unique upcoming class and updating both the science and the examples she would use. Teaching is communication. Different students require different communication. But PowerPoint standardizes the message, forcing the student and the soldier down one path. These scripted presentations substitute for carefully-studied and polished presentations, curtail eloquence, and dumb down the message. Again, according to the NYT report, the military actually refers to the PowerPoint bullets as "dumb dumb bullets."
Every semester that I enroll students, I have several advisees ask: "Is there a section that doesn't use PowerPoint?" If the students know it is inferior, if the generals know it has problems, then it is time school administrators let professional teachers get back to using the media that they know works.


At the reception, tables had navy tablecloths with white lace overlays and gray napkins to match the chair sashes. Chargers and candle centerpieces with submerged orchids completed the elegant reception look. Enjoy their photos taken by Taylor Cline Photography!

Borhyaenidae zijn een familie van uitgestorven zoogdieren die leefden van het Laat-Paleoceen tot het Vroeg-Mioceen.

Verwantschap
De Borhyaenidae zijn verwant aan de buideldieren en behoren tot de Metatheria. De gelijkenis met niet-verwante carnivore placentale zoogdieren van andere continenten, zoals katten, honden en beren, was groot wat betreft levenswijze en uiterlijk. Het is een voorbeeld van convergente evolutie.

Kenmerken
Kleinere Borhyaenidae ter grootte van een hond leefden gedeeltelijk in bomen, terwijl de grotere soorten uitsluitend bodembewoners waren. Prothylacynus had een lichaamslengte van 80 cm, Borhyaena daarentegen bereikte de lichaamslengte van een jaguar en Proborhyaena werd groter dan een grizzlybeer. Borhyaenidae hadden grote schedels met sterke en krachtige kaken, zoals die van Hyaenodon en Andrewsarchus voor het breken van botten. Ze werden vijf tot zes meter lang.

Mets ace deGrom going on injured list, will undergo MRI on elbow
| Hartford Courant |
Mets ace Jacob deGrom has returned to New York to undergo an MRI after reporting soreness in his right arm. (John Amis / AP) (John Amis/AP)
ST. LOUIS — Mets ace Jacob deGrom is being put on the injured list and returning to New York for an MRI on his elbow after the NL Cy Young Award winner reported a sore right arm.
"He came in on the off day and played a little catch and started feeling it a little bit," Mets manager Mickey Callaway said before Friday night's game at St. Louis. "We're not sure what it is."
DeGrom, 30, who had been scheduled to pitch Saturday, is coming off two shaky starts. He is 2-2 with a 3.68 ERA in four games this season.
DeGrom will go on the injured list retroactive to Tuesday, the team said.

"We don't know if it's just from general fatigue, so we're being overly cautious at this point and making sure we take care of him," Callaway said. "We've got 90 percent of the season left, and we feel no reason to really push him too much at this point."
Callaway said deGrom's elbow was "barking." DeGrom had Tommy John surgery in 2010.
DeGrom was dominant while pitching 13 scoreless innings and striking out 24 in his first two outings, extending his streak to a record-tying 26 straight quality starts. But he lost his last two starts while allowing a total of nine runs and 13 hits — including five homers — and five walks in nine innings.
DeGrom posted a 1.70 ERA in 32 starts last season. He signed a five-year, $137.5 million contract in March, right before Opening Day.

"Additionally, Jacob experienced some mild soreness in his throwing arm over the last 24 hours. His arm felt significantly better following treatment with our health and performance staff today," he said. "Even so, Jacob will be evaluated by our medical team in New York on Monday in the abundance of caution."
Van Wagenen said it was anticipated deGrom could return April 26 when the Mets start a series at home against Milwaukee.
The Mets have not announced a starter for Saturday. Callaway did confirm that Noah Syndergaard will pitch as scheduled on Sunday with Steven Matz taking his regularly scheduled turn Monday against Philadelphia.

2019 Honda Civic bookings now open as launch nears
By Shantonil Nag - February 12, 2019
Honda will soon launch the all-new tenth-generation Civic in the Indian market. The launch is expected to happen by the end of February or early March this year. Before the official launch, Honda dealerships across India have started taking the bookings for the car. The pre-order booking can be done at Rs. 51,000 and the amount is refundable. It should be noted that Honda is yet to start the official bookings for the all-new Civic in the Indian market. These bookings are taken by the dealerships exclusively.
The Honda Civic skipped a whole generation in the Indian market and the tenth-generation car was showcased at the 2018 Auto Expo last year. Honda officially announced the launch of three all-new cars in the Indian market this financial year which will end in March. Out of the three cars, Honda has already launched the all-new Amaze and the all-new CR-V in the market. The Civic will make its return to the D-Segment and will compete with the likes of Toyota Corolla Altis, Skoda Octavia and the Hyundai Elantra, which have been present in the segment for quite some time now.
The all-new Civic will target the existing Honda City customers who are planning to upgrade their vehicles in the coming times. It has been caught testing numerous times on the Indian roads and recently, two Honda Civic sedans were seen without any camouflage.
It has always been an enthusiast-focussed car and will remain so with the launch of the all-new generation too. The tenth generation Civic gets a raked roofline that beautifully merges to the boot giving it a fastback look. At the front, it gets sleek full LED headlamps while the rear gets beautiful C-shaped LED tails that add a character to the car. The all-new Civic is expected to be priced at around Rs. 16 lakh for the base model while the top-end, feature-loaded version will cost around Rs. 22 lakh. Honda will bring in the all-new Civic as Completely Knocked Down (CKD) units and will assemble them in India. As per Honda, the all-new Civic is expected to get around 70% localisation, which will allow the Japanese manufacturer to price the vehicle aggressively. However, Honda is expected to follow the premium positioning strategy in the Indian market with the Civic.
The all-new Civic looks quite similar to the all-new CR-V when it comes to the interiors. It will get premium quality materials on the inside with soft-touch materials on the dashboard. Honda will offer features like a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in the Civic along with a few high-end features. The high-end feature list can include Forward Collision Warning, Road Departure Mitigation, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assistance, Adaptive Cruise Control and more.
Both petrol and diesel engine options will be offered with the all-new Civic in the Indian market. The petrol variants will be powered by a 1.8-litre engine that generates a maximum of 140 PS and a 1.6-litre diesel engine that generates around 120 PS.

Q: How to change height of a ggplot in R? Hi,
Attached is the graph I plotted for the type of sports vs. average number of days being depressed for 30 days (with variables ranging from 0 to 30). I am trying to get the y axis more spread out but to no avail. I have tried adding the "height" in my code but nothing changes. I wonder why is that?
As you can see on the y axis, the dots are all squished together. I want to get them more spread out on the same scale (0 to 30).
Thanks!
ggplot(data=question2data, aes(x=exract11, y=menthlth), height = 500 , width = 7)+ geom_point(position = position_dodge(1))+ theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, vjust = 0.5, hjust=1))

A: If you are saving the plot you can adjust how the plot and axis labels plot using height within ggsave - larger plot sizes give smaller labels and more space to the plot itself.
You can also change the font size directly within the theme (see p2 below).
To see the options you can look at these four plots (using iris dataset as you did not provide data)
Warning! This will save plots to 'c:/temp' assuming you have one. Or fail if you don't.
library(ggplot2)

p1 <- ggplot(iris, aes(x = Species, y = Sepal.Width))+geom_point()+
  theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, vjust = 0.5, hjust=1))

ggsave(p1, filename = "c:/temp/test.png",height = 10, width = 5)

ggsave(p1, filename = "c:/temp/test2.png",height = 5, width = 5)

p2 <- p1 + theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, vjust = 0.5, hjust=1, size = rel(0.5)))
ggsave(p2, filename = "c:/temp/test_adjustedTextSize.png",height = 10, width = 5)

ggsave(p2, filename = "c:/temp/test2_adjustedTextSize.png",height = 5, width = 5)

This Christmas is going to be a one for belt-tightening for many of us – but this doesn't mean that gifts need to consist of socks alone! There are many books, both new and old, which will bring a smile to the face of a loved one of any age.
Let the Right One In is a vampire love story quite dissimilar from other, more popular stories around at the moment. For one, this vampire has no real problem violently murdering human beings. For another, she's twelve, so as you can imagine the 'eye candy' appeal of certain other vampire movies is not quite in this story. Also it's Swedish. Damn Swedes.
Christmas Tunes dear? Meh. Just give me the beer!

David Inlander and Ronald Menna, Jr. Discuss Courtesy Copy Email Abuse and Offer Best Practices in Illinois Bar Journal and its Bench & Bar and Trial Briefs Newsletters
David Inlander and Ronald Menna, Jr. discuss a troubling trend regarding courtesy copy emails and provided solutions to stop the abuse in the June 2021 Illinois Bar Journal and the May 2021 issues of the ISBA's Bench & Bar and Civil Practice & Procedure section council newsletters.
The article, "Ethical Practices in the Email Age: Courtesy Copy Emails to Judges," addresses how the convenient and efficient use of email for filing and transmittal also presents drawbacks in professional conduct and civility. David and Ronald suggest best practices to limit the drawbacks including:
Instructing attorneys to no longer include arguments or comments in an email to judges and/or clerks
Asking Judges to admonish and potentially sanctioning attorneys who disregard this rule
Seeking the Circuit Courts to adopt local rules regulating this behavior
David is an accomplished family law attorney with a focus on high-end complex matrimonial mediation. As one of Chicago's most sought-after mediators, he regularly guides challenging cases to equitable resolutions by drawing on his 45 years of experience as a leading litigator in both state and federal courts.
Ronald's primary areas of practice include civil appeals, commercial litigation, guardianship and chancery actions. He has extensive trial experience in both State and Federal Courts and has successfully argued before the Illinois Appellate Court and the U.S. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals.

Condition: Marked with yellow signs, obvious footbed. Bushy at times through the slide paths. Cleared of brush and deadfall to footbridge at 3300'.
General Route: Runs up the north side of the creek to a major footbridge over Sigurd Creek.
How to Find: From Squamish, drive up the Squamish main, then turn onto Ashlu main and cross the Squamish river bridge and the twin bridges across Ashlu Creek. Immediately after crossing the 2nd bridge is the trailhead. The start of it is on the old A200 spur road which is undriveable, that leads to the trailhead. Hike up the A200 road, then find the trailhead on the south side of the second switchback, at about 160m elevation. There are ample signs.
Trail Description: From the parking area on Ashlu Main, walk up the old roadbed A200 on the left hand side. This is now considered the first section of the trail, although people sometimes still try to drive it. At the second switchback, leave the old road and head south on a much older roadbed, overgrown by trees. This roadbed is level and goes south. All too soon, you leave this old roadbed and start climbing. The trail zig zags up the steep slopes and past some huge Douglas Fir trees. Eventually you come to a fork in the trail where the Crooked Falls trail goes south. From here a short distance later is a turnoff which runs out to the Stoltmann Lookout, over the Squamish River. And just beyond that is the major fork with lots of signs, where the Rose Trail to Sigurd Peak branches off. After the Rose Trail junction, the trail levels off and goes through swampy terrain to get closer to the roaring Sigurd Creek. From the trail at about 640m, you can see the confluence of two tributaries, both of them roaring waterfalls in summer. Continuing on, you come to a big hill which ends at 880m when it goes through a very short slide alder patch before resuming through open timber. From here, you start crossing avalanche paths--a total of four--before the trail descends to a footbridge that crosses to the south side of Sigurd Creek. After crossing the creek, the trail ascends up moderately steep forest before ending at the moraine below Ossa Peak.

Swiggy becomes second unicorn after Zomato; valued at $1 billion
This is an exciting news for the entire startup ecosystem of India. Food delivery app Swiggy has become the 12th startup to rise to the status of a Unicorn, as it is now valued at $1 billon+.
By Sakal Money | Pune | Jun. 25, 2018 | इतर
Leading investors such as Naspers, DST Global, Coatue Management and Meituan-Dianpin have successfully pumped in $210 million into Swiggy, after which, their valuation have soared to mind boggling $1 billion+.
With this Series G funding, Swiggy has become the 2nd food tech app to become a Unicorn, which is a term attributed to those startups whose valuation has become $1 billion or more.
In the month of February this year, Swiggy had raised $100 million from Naspers and Meituan as Series F funding. Hence, within a short span of 4 months, Swiggy has raised another round of funding.
Meituan-Dianping is a Chinese ecommerce firm, while Coatue Management is a US based hedge fund, which has invested for the first time in Swiggy. Interestingly, Naspers is South Africa's largest venture capital fund, and owns 33% of Tencent, China's one of the largest digital company and investor.
Last year, Softbank, Alibaba, Tencent & Flipkart were all keen to invest in Swiggy, and take a pie in its growth story.
The funding trend clearly indicates the dominance of Chinese investors in food delivery space of India.
Zomato's Dominance Is Being Challenged?
Now, as Swiggy has turned into a Unicorn, it is directly challenging Zomato, which was the only Unicorn in food tech space till now.
Swiggy is operational in 15 cities, and claims to process 1 crore orders per month as they have partnerships with 35,000 restaurants and powered with a fleet of 40,000 personals.
Beside, Swiggy is also keen on launching micro-delivery orders, pan-India. Recently, they acquired Mumbai based microdelivery startup SuprDaily, and they are very soon about to launch milk delivery services as well.
Last year in the month of November, we had reported how a consolidation may take place between Zomato and Swiggy, but it seems that the table has turned full circle since then.
Instead of joining forces, both Zomato and Swiggy are looking at fighting it out, till the real winner emerges.
Exciting times for food enthusiasts and startups in food tech, because big money is seeping into the system, which promises lot more growth and lot more action.


The situation evolved in Cyprus is indeed a unique one. On the one hand, there's a low quality and rather costly internet connection, which naturally influences the usage of cloud solutions. On the other hand, Cyprus electricity prices are the highest in EU and constant hot weather increases server infrastructure costs as hardware keeps overheating.
Let's now take a closer look at pros and cons of Office 365 in Cyprus:.
PRO: It is a total plus as you spend nothing on server infrastructure.
CON: To share documents and manage your workflow effectively, the stable and fast internet connection is required.
PRO: If most of your assets are located outside of Cyprus, the internet connection can be your money-saving advantage.
PRO: Office 365 is perfect for businesses with up to 20 users, especially if they don't use MS Office 2013 Professional.
CON: Office 365 is not that cost-effective in case of a company or organization with more than 20 users, especially if there's no need in MS Office 2013 Professional.
PRO: No support services are required. Office Manager can run all management, unless you feel necessity for additional security measures.
CON: Office 365 offers limited features of MS Lync. Lync as PBX is available only if the servers are set up in your office. In this case the idea of cloud solution turns pointless.
PRO: It takes around 2-3 days to get up and running with Office 365.
If you think that it's time for your business to go Cloud, HardPoint is ready to provide Office 365 services.

Miners in Western Australia say they have discovered two huge gold-encrusted rocks that are each estimated to be worth millions of dollars, reports BBC.
The company said it had extracted gold worth about C$15m (£9m; $11m) from a mine near Kalgoorlie last week. One mining engineer described the finds as "exceedingly rare".
The rocks were otherwise made of quartz, the company said. Miners in Australia often extract as little as 2g of gold per tonne of rock, Prof Spearing told the BBC. RNC Minerals said it had extracted 2,200g per tonne.
Miners in Western Australia say they have discovered two huge gold-encrusted rocks that are each estimated to be worth millions of dollars, reports BBC. The largest specimen, weighing 95kg (210lb), was found to contain more than 2,400 ounces of gold, Canadian miner RNC Minerals said. The company said it had extracted gold worth about C$15m (9m; $11m) from a mine near Kalgoorlie last week. One mining engineer described the finds as exceedingly rare. People do still record finding nuggets in the goldfields, but typically they are less than several ounces, said Prof Sam Spearing, director of the Western Australia School of Mines at Curtin University. The mining company valued the largest rock at about C$4m. It said the second-largest - a 63kg specimen with an estimated 1,600 ounces of gold - was worth C$2.6m. The rocks were otherwise made of quartz, the company said. Miners in Australia often extract as little as 2g of gold per tonne of rock, Prof Spearing told the BBC. RNC Minerals said it had extracted 2,200g per tonne. Very, very seldom do we see results on that level. This is an exceedingly rare find and very exciting, Prof Spearing said.

New apartment complex will benefit domestic violence survivors
(KY3)
By Michael Landis
Published: Mar. 7, 2018 at 6:34 PM CST
One of the biggest obstacles facing domestic abuse survivors is how to find safe, affordable, nice housing once they leave their abusive situation. Now, a new apartment complex will help solve that issue for a lot of people.
"Just the thought and care that went into this project truly exceeded my expectations," said Lisa Farmer, Executive Director of Harmony House.
With halls and rooms decorated with the trendy designs, and a kids play area, Talia (as the complex is named) looks and feels like a nice place to live.
"So much effort went into making this apartment complex a place that feels secure and is secure but is also warm and homey and just a place that they feel they have really come home to," Farmer stated.
Talia entails more than 40 units, 18 set aside for abuse survivors looking to get back on their feet.
Farmer explained that without good housing, a lot of survivors find it too easy just to go back to their abusers. Talia provides a way out for some.
Harmony House partnered with the Vecino Group to create and build the complex. With so many people seeking help, Talia will be a very welcome -but temporary- solution.
"The good news is that Springfield has a project like this and we have 18 units that are safe and secure and very nice units," said Farmer. But, the bad news is- it is permanent housing, so when those units are filled, we are back to- gosh there is not enough affordable housing in Springfield. "
At this point, almost all of those 18 units set aside for domestic abuse survivors have filled up. But, there are apartments left for other individuals.


The Kinect platform and the awesome technology it represents is breaking new ground each day. The hacks get more and more sophisticated, and there seems to be no limit to what can be achieved with it. Some go for that really futuristic user interface, while others create games and pretty much try to find new uses for the Kinect features. However, some programmers and designers try to bring another level of awesomeness to the platform by replicating things we've seen in movies. There are plenty of those hacks around, but the one I am going to focus on today is far cooler than the ones we have previously presented here on Bit Rebels.
This one is all about Star Wars, and the iconic segment where Han Solo gets frozen down in carbonite to serve as a wall piece. The scene is one of the most memorable in the whole Star Wars series, and there have been many incarnations of it. The last one was of course the Steve Jobs In Carbonite iPhone case that I wrote about a couple of days ago. It is a truly mesmerizing case that was taken off the market not too long ago.
This Kinect hack; however, is likely not to be taken off the grid even though you could probably fit your average Steve Jobs in there. The hack is one of the coolest I have seen in a while, and it's quite simple in the way it's used. The core program for it probably isn't too simple though. It performs a scan of the object in front of the Kinect cameras, and out of the data it creates a three dimensional carbonite block with the object frozen inside of it. So if you ever wanted to be frozen down in carbonite, this is your chance. I don't know if the hack is available for download, or if it is a closed development project. In my opinion it's freaking cool!

The New Dublin Presbyterian Church was founded in 1769 and is the oldest Protestant church west of the Allegheny's. Tradition says that Mary Gordon would not consent to marriage and move to this wilderness country from her home in Rockbridge County unless Joseph Cloyd promised, as soon as they were comfortably settled, he would have a Presbyterian church built in which they could worship in a manner to which she had been accustomed. In 1773, Joseph Cloyd donated the land that remains the property of New Dublin Presbyterian Church. James Reed may have built the first building, a simple log structure, with split logs serving as seats. Regular services began around 1782. In 1816, Rev. Samuel McNutt served as pastor.
A second sanctuary was built in the 1830's about fifty feet square, made of brick by James Darst and William Guthrie, with a roof that ran up from all sides to a point in the center.
By 1837, the issue of slavery had divided the Presbyterian Church and the congregation at New Dublin. While the church was opposed to slavery, the church roll included slave holders and also slaves are listed as members as early as 1851. The slaves would have used the balcony when attending services
The church felt the effect of the War Between the States. With the nearby Dublin Depot serving as the headquarters for the army of Southwest Virginia, many members of the congregation fought in the Confederate army or contributed as citizens. During the winter of 1863-1864 and until May 9, 1864, Gen. Albert Jenkins and his cavalry brigade are said to have encamped on the church grounds.
The Southern Iron Cross of Honor is patterned after a medal that was conceived in 1898. The idea of bestowing a medal of honor of some kind to living Confederate veterans was conceived in Atlanta in July 1898 by a woman, from Athens, Georgia, at a reunion of Confederate veterans. She and a female friend from Atlanta are credited with designing the medal. The medal, known as the Southern Cross of Honor Medal, was authorized by the United Daughters of the Confederacy to be awarded to any Confederate Veteran who had provided "loyal, honorable service to the South and was given in recognition of this devotion."
The medal could only be bestowed through the UDC; money could not buy the medal. The medal could only be worn by a Confederate Veteran. Today, several states, including Virginia, enforce codes declaring it a Class 3 misdemeanor, punishable by a substantial fine, to "wear any Southern Cross of Honor Medal when not entitled to do so by the regulations under which such Crosses of Honor were given."
The first Southern Cross of Honor Medal was bestowed in 1900 and, by 1913, there were 78,761 awarded. The last such medal was presented in 1959 posthumously to Rear Admiral Raphael Semmes. As there are no living Confederate veterans, no one should be wearing the Southern Cross of Honor Medal.
As Confederate veterans aged and died, there was a deep desire throughout the South to somehow permanently recognize the grave sites of these veterans. Different concepts and various designs were contemplated, but it was decided to pattern a grave marker after the Southern Cross of Honor Medal. And so evolved the Southern Iron Cross of Honor grave marker.
The Iron Cross grave marker is a two-sided, cast iron replica of the medal. The 11" x 11" cross stands atop an 18" metal stake that is permanently secured in the ground at the foot of the veteran's grave. On the front of the marker are the dates 1861 and 1865, representing the beginning and ending years of the War Between the States. Also on the front are the Latin words "Deo Vindice."

Daydreaming About Frank Lloyd Wright
December 23, 2018 June 24, 2019 / crowcityblog
I paused in my rounds the other day to admire a house on my route a bit more closely. For the first time, I recognized it as a Prairie-style house with its Craftsman details, hip roof, broad eaves and abundant windows. It was exactly the sort of home I had long fantasized about owning, aside from the location. As the children have grown older, my house–a modest stucco bungalow situated in the Hiawatha neighborhood–has gotten smaller. I should be more appreciative of it. People are living in a tent-city down the road after all. But that tent-city, like so many other things, adds to this urge I have to flee to the country.
Curious and due for a break, a Google search of the address provided me little information aside from the value of the house. My thoughts turned to Frank Lloyd Wright, and I wondered if any genuine examples of his artistic dwellings existed in Minneapolis. Sure enough, an image appeared of a home nearby that I immediately recognized. Aside from the attached brick garage, not much of the heavily foliated residence at 255 Bedford Street SE is visible from the sidewalk. The property is located at the southern terminus of Prospect Park with a panoramic view of the Mississippi River valley. Certainly, it was this vista that convinced Wright to design the home for Nancy Willey back in 1934 for the tidy sum of $10,000.
What made me unmistakably certain that I had delivered mail to the house was not a Wright architectural feature, but rather a red sign on the steps:
PRIVATE RESIDENCE
At the time of delivery, I had been put off by the proclamation which seemed to me–a kid who climbed a lot of fences growing up in the trailer court—a bit snobby. However, upon learning it was a Wright house, a living work of art, the sign made perfect sense. Listed on the U.S. National Registry of Historic Places, the owners must have quickly tired of having Wright-aficionados peek through their windows and interrupt the sanctity of their barbeques.
Photographs of the house abound on the internet. The Malcolm Willey House even has its own Facebook page. The home is constructed primarily of red brick and cypress with a pair of clerestory windows that bathe the living room in heavenly sunlight. Abundant French windows marry the interior and exterior of the house, providing that luxurious feeling of being outside in nature while inhabiting the comfort of a climate-controlled space. The boundary between inside and outside is further blurred by the brick floor which extends past the walls to form a triangular patio terrace in the garden sanctuary. It is, without question, an exquisitely beautiful house.
Yet, there are things about it, like any innovative work of art, that challenge our perceptions and would take some getting used to. Chiefly, and I know I'm just a mailman, Wright really went overboard with the brick. Brick carport, brick steps, brick walls inside and out, brick wall around the perimeter of the property and, most shocking, the brick floor. Wright houses, with their open floorplans, have been described as "citadels of family life." But that's an awful hostile surface for a crawling baby's knees. Or their heads when they start wrestling one another! You would think a father of six kids would know better. Frankly, the house resembles one of my son's Minecraft creations after he's been tapping on the iPad like a woodpecker for forty-five minutes. The Midwestern genius gets away with it aesthetically with all the natural light, but still, it's a lot of fucking brick. Brick is cold and dark–the building material for hospitals, schools and libraries. I've always admired the stateliness of brick homes and an accent wall of the stuff adds a lot of character. Yet, if I were going to change anything, the brick floor would have to go.
But, of course, it never could. It's a Frank Lloyd Wright house! Try violating one of his cabinets to install a dishwasher and don't be surprised if you're pilloried in the local newspaper as one St. Louis Park couple recently discovered. Wright homes retain the name of their original occupants. Future owners–in spite of the enormous pain, time and money they expend rehabilitating them–are merely caretakers of Wright's legacy.
My own home, a three-quarter story constructed in 1926, has some charming features such as piano windows, porcelain tile in the bathroom and handsome oak beams that adorn the arch between our living and dining rooms. The preserved woodwork unifies the house and adds a lot of Craftsman character. Unfortunately, we keep our blinds drawn out of privacy because the neighboring houses are only twelve feet away. We still have the original birch cabinets in the kitchen which contrast interestingly with the modernity of our custom stainless-steel countertops and checkerboard-tiled floor. The upstairs master bedroom is a good-sized space even if it's hotter than hell in the summer months owing to uneven insulation and poor ventilation.
The attic areas have these doors and you don't always want to see what's inside. Like a few months back, when I discovered a mold outbreak around the rafters. The spaces are prone to condensation. Knee-deep in cellulose with a bleachy rag in hand, I proclaimed to my wife that our house was fucked and we needed to call someone. We had some additional vents cut into the roof and some mold guys painted up the boards. We either need to have some soffit-work done or the more expensive option would be to gut the upstairs, spray foam everywhere and re-sheetrock the whole damn thing—what they call a "hot roof."
Honestly, it's more responsibility than I care to have on my shoulders. Between my job and caring for the kids, the home repairs add a lot of unwanted stress to our lives. Aside from the attic problems, the house's major failing is its small kitchen and, for whatever reason, we always seem to find ourselves inside it. My wife will be making dinner, some show playing on her iPhone, and I'll come in for a quick word. Then the kids will come following and, before you know it, everyone's shouting at once. I usually leave, my head hung in apology, without ever telling her what it was that I wanted to say in the first place.
Basically, my wife wants a $50,000 dishwasher and I want to retire from the post office while I can still walk, hence the conflict. Or we could just move and acquire a whole new set of troubles. In the meantime, I daydream about Frank Lloyd Wright.
The problem with material perfectionism is it tends to be this veneer that covers up a lot of spiritual defects, like the mold in my attic. Acquire your dream home and then you become a guy with his finger in the dam, a preservationist fighting the inevitability of change.
Like Nancy Willey.
When she began construction on her Wright-designed house, residents maligned her brick fence, a "spite wall" one obstreperous neighbor called it. Then in 1955, she wrote Frank Lloyd Wright again about the freeway being constructed through her backyard.
The view from the Malcolm Willey house is still magnificent. But the roar of I-94 never ceases.
Like the teardown construction of "Dream Homes" in my own neighborhood, change always inspires controversy. People sign thirty-year mortgages as if they were some pact with God against the Flood.
The Prospect Park neighborhood I deliver mail to is incredibly hilly. I have been mocked by passersby for the number of steps I have to climb. The way I look at it, I get paid to exercise. I'm not morbidly obese because I spend my days in front of a computer. Bald eagles and turkeys are my daily observance. I deliver mail under the Witch's Hat, a water tower erected in 1913 to people who, quite frankly, don't care if I exist. A legal battle is currently underway to oppose the building of a condominium along the skyline beside the Witches Hat–the highest geographic point in Minneapolis. The original 17-story design of the condominium would have overshadowed the Witches Hat, ruining the subject of many a watercolor and photograph. Plans for the condominium have shrunk. It seems, for the moment, David is winning.
Meanwhile, one high-rise along the Green Line goes up after another. Wright hated cities. He found them dehumanizing, referring to skyscrapers as "ugly glass boxes set up on stilts of concrete." I admire Wright greatly. This is a man who designed the Guggenheim, yet still found time to construct lampshades every bit as magnificent.
I grind the blocks out till every bit of cartilage is gone, the athleticism of my marathons a distant memory, until I've made it. . . .
collecting my pension,
staring out at an expanse of untrampled snow,
the tan tufts of big bluestem,
some distant dogwood and sumac,
the tangled limbs of oak trees along the horizon
as I sip my coffee,
my wife reading a book,
the dream achieved–
a Frank Lloyd Wright house in the country.

Q: Indenting legend items in ArcMap My map legend looks like this:

I'd like to indent the circled items farther to the right but can't find any settings to adjust this. Using the item properties I know how to offset the label portion, but not the patch.
This is pretty much the same question I asked as Indenting subitems in QGIS Composer legend?, but now trying to do this with ArcMap instead of QGIS.

A: So, the way that I best know how to do this requires some manual work, but will return the results you are looking for.
Create the legend like normal. When it is created, right click on the legend and convert it to graphics. With the legend being converted to graphics, you can then ungroup everything and move the items you are focusing on. An easy way to align the indentation for these items is to click on the ruler on the top of the layout page and set it as a guide. Once done, you can then group everything in the legend back together to form one complete legend.
Again, this method is manually intensive but sometimes working like this on legends produces better looking results.

House rules Best Western Premier Seoul Garden Hotel takes special requests - add in the next step!
Best Western Premier Seoul Garden Hotel accepts these cards and reserves the right to temporarily hold an amount prior to arrival.
The rooms were on the hot and stuffy side and it was not possible to turn the heat down. The room was 77 degrees at night and opening the window was too loud due to traffic outside.
Nothing specially disliked but liquid coffee was not fresh.
The ventilation system was weird, the output was cold air most of the times. Sink not located in the bathroom but on the hallway and there isn't a door between the hallway and the room.
I managed to secure a very good rate but would have liked to stay longer. The rate during the week fluctuates too much and becomes quite expensive for value on some nights.
The room was warm, and the AC was set temperature at 25C. Opening the window was much help as we could hear people laughing from the bars down the road.
At concierge, a middle aged man who is extremely polite gave us big help to catch a taxi. We had 3 suitcases so we couldn't get a taxi for 10 min. And we couldn't get jumbo taxis and limousine taxis, either. Our Train leaves at 1pm. We were out of time. This man politely asked a taxi driver and we were able to get in with 3 suitcases; one in the front seat, one in the back seat and one in the trunk. We made it to Seoul station and got our train.


Try patting your head and rubbing your tummy. Tricky, huh?
Now try centering a lump of clay on a spinning wheel, keeping your elbows tight against your ribs, your left hand on the side of the lump, your right on the top of the lump. With five or six strangers silently watching, try to muscle that stubborn lump to the exact center of the spinning wheel. And don't forget to breathe. Beyond tricky! But Tony Gebauer of TR Pottery in Fish Creek is a calm and patient guide, who kindly introduced me to the primary process Door County potters use to create their stunning, often functional wares.
When I arrived at the gallery displaying ceramic mugs, vases, platters, and pitchers glazed in glossy yellows, purples, and blues, Renee Gebauer stood behind a counter tying twine to price tags while Tony sat at his wheel, framed by an open wall at the far side of the gallery. The couple greeted me with bright smiles and hearty 'hellos,' before leading me through a tall curtain, past high shelves stocked with ceramic pieces in various stages, to the wheel itself.
"I've just turned 30," I said, encouraged and hopeful that this whole experience would be a breeze.
I saddled up to the wheel and Tony plopped that lump of clay before me. The first and most important step: centering. He talked and aided me through the awkward ordeal described earlier. Finally, the lump was in a good place, spinning slowly with a soft mechanical hum. Next I dug my thumb in the moist clay, creating some room to expand from. "Good," Tony said after I (or we, I should say) completed each step.
After the little bowl looked like an over-sized candle holder, Tony brought out a plastic tool to help ease the lip out further, in a more even fashion. I gently pressed the tool to the clay. "A little harder," he encouraged. I gritted my teeth, tried again with my elbows all over the place, my head leaning to the side. He laughed as he moved the tool to a proper spot, where it was easy to see and use with elbows in place. "Oh, that makes sense," I laughed, a nervous laugh, while the small crowd laughed along.
Finally, the bowl looked like a bowl, and a few more tools were employed to shrink up the bottom of the piece and remove my prized creation from the wheel.
Once I carefully lifted the bowl from the wheel and placed it along side a series of Tony's stunning, seemingly identical small pitchers, I whooped, exhaled, and gave Tony a high five. There was such a feeling of accomplishment and pride, then the wave of soreness one feels after their tense muscles can finally relax.
"Wow, that's very physical," I commented.
"Oh yeah," Renee agreed, recalling the dress shirts Tony couldn't fit into after a few months working at the wheel.
I walked out of the gallery with a new appreciation for the many Door County potters who create their own brand of beautiful pottery (which make incredible, functional keepsakes and gifts I might add). Each comes from their own school of pottery, employing different throwing, glazing, and firing techniques, yet they maintain a solidarity, a community that is both welcoming and encouraging of one another.
Now go experience Door County pottery for yourself! Check out the many Door County galleries featuring ceramic wares, sculptures, and jewelry; ask the artists questions about their creations; and enroll in a pottery class, where you can get your hands dirty and experience the satisfying soreness I'm talking about.

We act for a range of companies, partnerships and traders in Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, Great Britain, Europe and beyond.
We draft:
Agency and Distributorship Agreements
Sale and purchase of private companies and businesses
The challenge is not simply interpreting our clients' instructions but understanding their business objectives and guiding them to the best way to achieve them.
Agency and distributorship agreements often appear simple on the surface but are generally more complex and impose rights and duties on the parties that may have far-reaching consequences.
They cover not only the relationship between the principal and agent but also between:
The agent and third parties
The principal and third parties
The complexity arises not just from the contractual obligations but from the fiduciary duties. The agent is under an obligation to act in the best interests of the principle even where they may be to the detriment of their own, while the principle has a legal responsibility for the actions of their agent.
Read more about Agency and Distributor agreements.
Sale and purchase of companies
Understanding the reasons why a business is being sold or acquired is vital in determining the best approach.
It is often not appreciated that the "business" and the "company" are two different things and that both can be sold independently. This opens up a range of options, each offering advantages and disadvantages.
We can help you identify the best approach and draft the agreement to help you achieve your objective in the most effective way possible.
Joint Ventures (JVs) are a useful way of using the expertise of different organisations to exploit opportunities that would otherwise remain undeveloped.
They only work where there is mutual trust, cooperation and transparency. This is best achieved through careful agreement at the outset on the details of the arrangements.
Initial exploration of the opportunities can best be explored once a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is in place. The parties can than be open with one another secure in the knowledge that their disclosures will not be unfairly used if the venture does not go ahead.
The next stage is generally to agree "Heads of Terms". These set out the broad scope of the agreement and relationships between the parties as the JV proceeds.
Once these are agreed the detailed drafting of the legal relationship follows. There are a number of forms the relationship can have; it may be a purely contractual one or the parties may set up a jointly owned corporate body - a limited company or perhaps a partnership.
Shareholder Agreements regulate the relationships between the shareholders, the management of the company, ownership of the shares and the rights and obligations of owners to each other.
They can be used to ensure that shareholders do not sell or transfer their shares to unsuitable or unacceptable third parties to protect minority shareholders from being unfairly treated by majority shareholders.
Where shareholdings are split equally they can make provision for settling disagreements.
They can also deal in advance with how shareholders should act when they may wish to retire, exit from the business or what happens in the event of the death of a shareholder.
These matters are best dealt with at the outset of the business; they can be modified as the business progresses but it avoids acrimonious arguments if problems arise in difficult and unforeseen circumstances.
When two or more people (or corporate bodies) set up a business together they form a partnership and the law imposes automatically applies certain rules that govern the way the venture operates.
It is important that the partners draw up their own set of rules within the basic framework and that they understand their rights and obligations under those rules.
These will cover such matters as:
Rights and duties on leaving the partnership
Borrowing of money
Non-equity partners rights
There are different forms of partnership and it is important to understand these when setting up the partnership.
It is also important for new partners to an existing partnership to understand precisely the nature of the relationship into which they are entering.
