Brief — WGL Holdings
WGL Holdings Inc. shareholders have approved the company's plan to merge operations with Calgary-based AltaGas Ltd. During a special shareholder meeting at WGL's corporate offices Wednesday, a proposal to approve the transaction was approved by 96.22% of the shares voted, which represented 71.88% of all outstanding WGL shares of common stock entitled to vote, the company said. The boards of directors of WGL and AltaGas have already unanimously approved the transaction, which is expected to close in the second quarter of 2018. The C$8.4 billion (US$6.4 billion) purchase was announced by the utilities in January. Under terms of the friendly takeover, the utility for which WGL is named — Washington Gas Light Co. — would not change its brand and would retain all current staff including executives. It will keep regulated public energy services in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia, the merger partners said.

The autocatalytic, asymmetry-amplifying alkylation of pyrimidine-5-carbaldehydes with diisopropylzinc, crowned as the 'Soai reaction' occupies a venerable position in organic chemistry. Since its discovery, the reaction with its unique properties representing a fortuitous confluence of three phenomena in catalysis: autocatalysis, enantioselective catalysis and non-linear effects (asymmetric amplification) has stood as an outstanding challenge for mechanism elucidation. Pioneering work over the last two decades has contributed to the milestone achievement of a consensus tetrameric alkoxide catalyst structure, However this knowledge has not enabled the formulation of a compelling transition state hypothesis nor provided deeper insights into the structural contributions from various parts of the molecule that give rise to asymmetric autocatalysis and the substrate idiosyncrasies in the transformation. A holistic understanding of the Soai reaction remains an open challenge.
This lecture will describe the discovery of amplifying asymmetric autocatalysis in a closely related pyridine system, which enabled detailed kinetic and spectroscopic studies to elucidate the evolution of the active tetramer and reveal the alkyl transfer transition state. This study provides the first definitive experimental rationalization to understand the fundamental basis of the structural requirements of the Soai reaction. These results will serve as a platform for further studies and explorations in the fascinating area of asymmetric autocatalytic reactions.

Q: Black rectangles in menu bar that randomly appear I recently purchased a MacBook Air M1 and it runs the latest OS version. I noticed that sometimes there is a black rectangle in the menu bar. I have attached two screen shots. I am now worried if this is a known software bug or if my device has a defect. I have not been able to find the problem on the internet. Should I replace my device? The size of the rectangle is changing in size.

A: To start with I would boot your Mac into Safe Mode and determine if the rectangles still appear.
Booting into Safe Mode on an M1 Mac
Follow these steps to boot your Mac into Safe Mode:

*

*Fully shut down your Mac

*Press the power button to start your Mac, but continue holding it down as your Mac starts up until you see the startup options window:

*Select your startup disk, press and hold the shift key and click the Continue in Safe option

*Let go of the shift key

*Log into your Mac (Note: you may need to do this twice)

*Take a note of what happens (i.e. do the rectangles still appear while in Safe Mode?)

*Exit Safe Mode by restarting your Mac as normal

*Test again to see if the rectangles still appear when booted normally

Once you've followed the above steps, let me know how you went and we'll go from there.

Youth Group Games – Anyone Seen the Christ Child?
Anyone Seen the Christ Child?
Around Christmas time, the youth or church bible studies get together and make cookie bags, or any gifts of such. Then go around to your local Fire-Stations, Emergency rooms, etc., and present the gift to them, and ask them "Have You seen the Christ Child?" and share with then the story of the candy cane or the Christmas story, and share about your church's ministries. It's a very effective and positive outreach.


Anyone would think that designing & developing websites was thirsty work with the Bluewire Media team heading along to three big events last Friday. Work was put aside as we all took half-days and attended the Brisbane Advertising Association's (BAA) Annual Christmas Lunch at the convention centre which was followed by the official after party at the Melbourne Hotel, which was then followed by the exclusive Bluewire Media Christmas Drinks at the Orient Hotel.
The Bluewire team was joined by our SEO & SEM partners & friends, Reload Media at the lunch and then again at the Orient for some Christmas celebrations. The food was good, the drinks cold and the entertainment hilarious! Arj Barker had the crowd in good spirits over lunch firing a few low blows to the local advertising scene along with his usual comedy gold routine.
There were plenty of prizes up for grabs at lunch with over $10,000 in cash and prizes enticing punters to fork out for the raffle tickets for the charity fund raising effort. The BAA is to be commended for its great contribution to charity donating $5,000 each to the Hear & Say Centre, the Royal Children's Hospital Foundation and the Starlight Children's Foundation. Well done BAA!
It was a massive day and lots of fun was had by all. (You could almost say a few people had a little too much fun which I am definitely guilty of!) However with Operation Unite in full swing that weekend, you will be happy to know that no Bluewire Media staff members were caught up in the police crackdown on party revellers. Everyone was well behaved and a good, safe night was enjoyed by all which was a fitting celebration of all our hard work this year!
Be sure to check out more of the photos and videos on our Facebook page!
Plus here's a video of some BAA streamer madness. You'll notice Nic cops one in his eye, but he made a full recovery!

How a commercial building body builder made her dream a reality
Garen Larkin's mother had a job as a commercial body builder.
Her father was a successful carpenter and he was looking to build his own commercial building.
The Larkins have had a business for 35 years.
Now they are on their fourth and final home, a £2 million building in Dundalk.
They built the building for their own children and it has turned out to be a success.
The couple have also sold their home.
They are the proud owners of their second home.
The Larksons had been looking to sell their home in Dun Laoghaire when they heard about a commercial builder who wanted to build a commercial home.
They had been offered a £1 million price tag.
They were looking for a suitable site in the city but they didn't have the money to go there.
Then they saw the advert on TV.
It was the Larkans who had been on the market for four years.
They decided to put their two boys and two daughters through university, and they wanted to get a job building homes.
The building in question was built by a local builder, and it is called a body builder woman.
Garen Larkan said the body builder builder woman's goal was to help people achieve financial independence.
"My mother's husband was a carpenter so I thought he would be a great builder."
I just thought it was the most practical thing I could do for him," she said.
We just want to be able to do something with it.""
It's a lovely home," he said.
The family has bought the property and plans to make it their home once they move out.
Garel Larkin and Garen said they hope to have it ready for sale by March.
Gladys and Samiras have had to do some work in the house as well.
The family said they didn't know what to do with the property when they first got it, and Garett was struggling to find work.
"It is a nice house and we've bought it and we just don't know what else we want to do," Garen added.
"The house has always been our dream home and we wanted to make sure we were the best home we could possibly be."
Garets father said it had been a dream of his for years.
Garry Larkin had a different idea of what to build.GARY LARKAN is the owner of a bodybuilder woman who wants to build her own home.
"That was the first dream of mine.
I had been in the building industry for 35 or 40 years and I thought, what could I do for my family?"
Garry said.
He has worked for the company for 40 years, but he had never had any plans for his own home before.GARRY LARKANS son was on a career in the construction industry and he said he would like to make a new career for himself.
"There's lots of great things that can be done.
You could be in the medical field or the engineering industry, you could be a teacher, you can be in an industrial or a construction business," he added.
Gaurav Larkin has a different dream.
"What I like to do is build and I love that," he joked.
The two boys have a special bond.
"They're two brothers that have never really got a real home.
And they are so good friends," he explained.
Gail, Garen's wife, said she has been looking for someone to build for her for years, and she has always had her own goals.
"Garen and I both have a dream, we both want to build our own home and that's it," she explained.
"As soon as we get out of school, we want this to be our dream."
Garen said he had been toying with the idea of building his own house for years before his wife's husband started to have issues with the company.
"He would come in and we would say, 'Garen, we've got a problem'," Garen explained.
"And he would say we've had it with you and you've gone off and you're not coming back."
And then we'd just get on with our life.
"The Larkin family are not the only ones who have built their own home to sell.
Gareth and Samara Larkin have built a home for their two daughters and two sons.
Garth, Samira and Gail Larkin live in a two-bedroom home that has been built by the builders company.
Gharlei, Garees and Gharles children and their two sons live in the property.
Garo, Garel and Gareth are now expecting their second child,

What to Know About The New Netflix Series 'Big Bang Theory' And The 'Black Mirror' Reboot
A lot of you may have seen the news on Monday that Netflix has renewed Big Bang Theory for a third season.
There are some changes to the show's premise, but it will be the same core of characters.
Netflix has also confirmed the first two episodes of the series will premiere on Netflix on September 25.
The show is currently streaming on Hulu.
While there is no official word on the showrunner yet, we can say the renewal will mark a major departure from the previous seasons, which were produced by the network.
"Big Bang is a character-driven show that tells the story of a small group of people, called Big Bang, who are tasked with solving mysteries that go beyond the boundaries of their reality.
We are excited to share that we will be returning to the core Big Bang concept and returning to a world of aliens, technology, and more," said Chris McCumber, president of programming for Netflix, in a statement.
In addition to the three new episodes, Big Bang will also get a brand new theme song, new characters, and new story arcs.
"As the story unfolds, Big Bong will encounter his greatest fears and learn the power of friendship," said series co-creator and executive producer Marc Guggenheim in a post on the official Netflix Blog.
"He will grow closer to the people he has come to call friends, and they will learn to live together as a team."
While Big Bang is not a reboot of the show from its original five seasons, it does offer a new spin on the characters and new stories.
Netflix is also planning to add a second season of the reboot, but the first one was not renewed.
Netflix also announced on Monday a slate of new original series for 2018, including a comedy series based on the new comic book series Batman.

How to make a new commercial building?
In a city that's known for its urban renewal projects, you might expect to see more buildings in the area than you might see in a typical suburb.
And yet, for some reason, Los Angeles has never seen a lot of new commercial buildings.
A look at the commercial buildings that have popped up in L.A. Since 1950, the city has added nearly 10,000 commercial buildings in what's known as the "modern downtown" boom.
One of those buildings was Lulu, a massive apartment building in the heart of downtown that opened in the 1980s.
Today, it's home to an impressive array of businesses, from the iconic Lulu nightclub to the now-defunct Hollywood Hotel.
The city's downtown also has an abundance of new residential developments, but none that can match Lulu's grandeur.
There are a few reasons for that.
First, Lulu was built on the site of a former hotel that was demolished in the 1970s, and the area around it is not particularly walkable, which means a lot more people can use the space than would otherwise be the case.
Second, Lulus main tenant was a clothing store, which became the first major tenant in the building, but there was no commercial use until Lulu opened.
Third, and perhaps most importantly, Lulus owner Joe Lulu died in 2014, leaving the building as a vacant shell.
Today, the site is a popular spot for events and events that draw large crowds.
There's a new movie theater, an art museum, and a new library, among others.
And in a city where you might not be able to find the perfect spot for a concert, you can always find a spot for Lulu.
The Lulu building has been home to a number of businesses in the past, including Lulu Fashion, Lula Fashion, and Lulu Bar.
And Lulu also served as the home to Lulu House, a luxury apartment building that went up in 2015.
In its new home, the Lulu development is a large, contemporary building with a unique and beautiful interior, with some really great design elements, like a central courtyard that features an open plan garden, and an underground garage.
The exterior of the building features an outdoor deck that's filled with sun, and it's one of the best outdoor spaces in the city, according to the Los Angeles Times.
For a while, the hotel was in disrepair, and had been converted to apartments.
In the early 2000s, the Los Angles Downtown Development Authority acquired the building and started renovating it.
In a move that drew praise from local and national media, the developer and developer partners announced in 2016 that they had completed the renovations to the building.
Lulu was one of a number residential buildings that were renovated for use in the development, including the former Lulu Tavern, which was renovated into the iconic Hollywood Hotel, and, most recently, the Hollywood Park Apartments, which is home to the Lulu nightclub and Lula Hotel.
The Lulas current location, the old Lulu Building, is still home to many businesses, including a music venue and a bar.

How to turn a $10 million commercial building into a $30 million condo building
Commercial buildings are one of the most popular building types, and they're becoming increasingly common in cities across the world.
But in some cases, the process is a little trickier than others.
In the United States, commercial buildings are often considered the most vulnerable of all buildings, and in many cases, commercial properties can be as big as 1,200 square feet.
But a new study from the University of Chicago and the City of Toronto shows that there are some tricks you can use to turn commercial buildings into condos.
The study looked at data from the City and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) to find out how commercial buildings have evolved over the last 60 years.
The UNODC, the United Nation's drug control agency, estimates that the average number of new drug-related deaths in the United Kingdom increased from 5,000 in 1968 to over 13,000 by the early 2000s.
That's a 20% increase in the number of deaths, and a big jump from the 9,000 deaths in 1968.
The new study looked into the trends in the use of commercial buildings as a condominium project in the U.K. for two decades.
It looked at how different types of commercial structures changed in the 20 years, from new commercial buildings being built on the same site to new residential projects being built at the same location.
"Commercial buildings, in general, were not seen as being a place to go to a hotel or a spa," said Chris Henson, the lead author of the study.
"They were seen as a place where the average person could spend a little bit of money and enjoy their life."
Henson and his team examined how the types of buildings that were constructed and the locations of them changed.
They found that the number and types of residential units increased from a low of just 6.4 million in 1968, to more than 14 million by 2007.
The number of commercial units increased by an average of 13% over that period.
In fact, the rate of increase in residential units went from 5% in 1968 down to just 1% in 2007.
In the last decade, residential construction has exploded from just a small percentage of commercial properties to more in the range of 20% to 30% of commercial property.
In many cases the changes in buildings came from new development in the area, which meant that there were more commercial buildings.
For example, the new development at the corner of East 10th and Victoria Streets in Toronto increased from just 1.5% to 7.6%.
The study also looked at the types and locations of residential buildings in other cities around the world, including Shanghai, Paris, Mumbai, San Francisco, Sydney, and New York City.
The study found that in the last two decades, the number that have been built in the same area of the world increased from less than 1% to almost 4%.
The most important factor that changed the most was that the new developments were more affordable and more desirable.
"The new developments in many cities around Europe and Asia, for example, were more expensive and were less desirable," Henson said.
"These developments were very desirable for wealthy buyers, and that's where they were built."
Hinton said that the most common type of commercial building in Canada was the hotel, which had more than 80% of the units in the country.
But he added that there was a lot of room for commercial buildings that could be converted to condos.
He said that this type of building can be built to be one- and two-bedroom units, but it's important to consider what type of condo is desired in your neighbourhood.
The most important factors for deciding whether or not a new commercial building is for you are whether or no residential units are planned, and whether or for how much money you are willing to pay.
"If you can live in your unit, you can afford it," Hinton said.
"But if you're not going to have that, then you're just not going out there and buying condos," he added.
Henson said that there is one area where condo construction is actually becoming more popular.
He noted that condo projects in Toronto and Vancouver have been booming in the past two decades and now account for more than half of all condos in those cities.
He pointed to the fact that condo development in Toronto is becoming more affordable than residential development in many other cities.
"That's because people are buying condos, and then the prices are dropping," he said.
But he said that even though the number has been increasing in the market for condos, there is still a lot that needs to be done before a condo can be considered for development.
"You can't just start a condo project today and say it's a condo," Hinson said.
He added that it will take years to convert a condo into a commercial building.
The next step for condos is getting approval from the city to build.
If you are looking to build condos, the

How to fix florid building code: The code can be written to solve problems
The code for floridan building codes is one of the most complex codes in Australia.
A floridian building code is often the first code that is written for a building in a municipality.
The code provides rules for a structure's design and is the basis for the building's building permit, which is the document that governs the building.
Florid codes can be changed, but only by a written resolution, and usually in conjunction with a design plan.
A design plan for a floridi building is usually published in the building manual.
To determine if your building has a floretid code, you must have the building owner's consent to have the code changed.
The building owner is usually the person who decides what code is needed.
If you don't have a building owner, you may be able to get a building permit to fix the problem.
You must first consult the building permit holder to find out if there is a building code in your area, and then to make a written request to have your building code changed by a code committee.
To obtain a building address, the building address must be supplied by the building code authority (CSA) of the municipality in which you live, or a building that is registered under the Building Code Act.
If the CSA or building owner doesn't have the address, you can usually get one from the city council, which may have a list of the building addresses in the city.
If your building does not have a code in the area, you will need to find a copy of the floretidal building code.
You will need a copy from the building authority.
To make a complaint about a building, contact the local building authority, who may have information about the code.
The local authority will then contact you, to make sure that the code has been changed.
How to find the code The first step is to search the building authorities database, or searchable website.
The CSA can provide the most recent codes that apply to buildings, or contact you by phone or email.
The following are the codes that are currently in effect in the state of Victoria.
Building code (Victoria) Code name: The number of letters used to identify a building's code (e.g. T1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11.12.13.14.15.16.17.18.19.20.21.22.23.24.25.26.27.28.29.30.31.32.33.34.35.36.37.38.39.40.41.42.43.44.45.46.47.48.49.50.51.52.53.54.55.56.57.58.59.60.61.62.63.64.65.66.67.68.69.70.71.72.73.74.75.76.77.78.79.80.81.82.83.84.85.86.87.88.89.90.91.92.93.94.95.96.97.98.99.100.101.102.103.104.105.106.107.108.109.110.111.112.113.114.115.116.117.118.119.120.121.122.123.124.125.126.127.128.129.130.131.132.133.134.135.136.137.138.139.140.141.142.143.144.145.146.147.148.149.150.151.152.153.154.155.156.157.158.159.160.161.162.163.164.165.166.167.168.169.170.171.172.173.174.175.176.177.178.179.180.181.182.183.184.185.186.187.188.189.190.191.192.193.194.195.196.197.198.199.200.201.202.203.204.205.206.207.208.209.210.211.212.213.214.215.216.217.218.219.220.221.222.223.224.225.226.227.228.229.230.231.232.233.234.235.236.237.238.239.240.241.242.243.244.245.246.247.248.249.250.251.252.253.254.255.256.257.258.259.260.261.262.263.264.265.266.267.268.269

Q: Drawing a Window at Coordinates or Drawing outside of NSStatus Item I am trying to display something off the side of a NSStatusItem. I think I could do this in two ways:
Display a transparent window with the image I need at the coordinates of the mouse cursor.
OR
Use a custom NSStatusItem and move the controls/images in the view to the left so they are actually off the status item
The problem is, setting the NSRect frame negative (-200,0,100,50) doesn't seem to actually work. So, how can I render things outside of the bounds of the status item (think the CSS overflow property) or render a transparent window at specific coordinates?

A: The system will prevent you from drawing outside the status item, but using a transparent window will work.
NSRect rect; //The location of the window
NSWindow *win = [[NSWindow alloc] initWithContentRect:rect styleMask:NSBorderlessWindowMask backing:NSBackingStoreBuffered defer:YES];
[win setOpaque:NO];

[win setBackgroundColor:[NSColor clearColor]];
//or
[win setContentView:myView];

Here, myView is a custom view which will be the background of the window. In order for the window to be transparent, you either have to set the background color to clear or use a custom content view which only draws where it is not transparent. You will probably want to use a floating window so that it stays on top. Be careful not to cover up something important because your window could intercept events intended for something underneath it.

The battle over solar panels in Florida
Kalia Richardson, News Editor
In an effort to prevent the ever-rising temperatures in Florida, solar panels can seem like a viable solution. Amendment 1, did just that, as major utilities like Florida Power and Light influenced 4,560,580 voters into thinking the bill would promote the usage of solar panels.
The bill allows Florida residents to use solar panels supported by law in the first few lines, but as potential voters read on, elevated language mislead them. The follow-up line states individuals who do not currently use solar energy will be unable to use them in the future. The basis of the wording, though, causes many readers to ignore the face value: solar energy will be limited.
"I'm for the use of solar. This is against [it] because at the very last part people who don't use solar are able to abstain from the production of solar panels and all that, meaning they won't be made because they're not using it," junior Vincent Pareda said.
When Pareda red the amendment, he noted right off the bat that the purpose of it was to restrict residents who currently do not use it from future use.
Because the energy plants face compete head-on with solar industries, this amendment opposed the power-saving industry. The implementation of the law would prevent pro-solar residents who currently do not produce solar energy from taking advantage of it in the future.
"I understand that people see no difference between solar energy and electrical energy and would be likely to make the switch," junior Angel Carrasquilb said."The effect would be releasing much less greenhouse gases, perhaps most power plants would be shut down."
For the vote to be ratified, the amendment required a 60 percent majority. The final poll counted 50.79 percent for and 49.23 percent against Amendment 1; the amendment did not pass. Now that major power companies do not control solar energy, what is the next step? Everyday people can be energy-efficient and produce less greenhouse gases by carpooling, biking or walking to school and unplugging devices when they are fully charged or not being used.
"I do ride [my] bike to school and have a power strip for my electronics that I keep off during the day," Carrasquilb said.
Instead of allowing powerhouses to abuse their power, Floridians can take a stand for renewable energy.


A. Hardships -- generally not having the money to pay for the service.
B. Living out of the country -- at least 11 months.
C. A part of a health care sharing ministry -- estimated a $200.00 up front registration fee and then you pay around $400.00 or more a month for family coverage.
D. Card carrying member of a federally recognized Native American tribe.
E. Being a member of a church that is recognized by the government as having objections to Obamacare. The Amish and Mennonite sects were given special exemption by Congress in 1965 and therefore did not have to specifically quality for the exemption.
The Obamacare exemption is specifically tied to the Social Security Exemption. It is our opinion the exemption law was designed to further enslave not protect. In over seventy years only one religion was ever given permission to be exempted and that was our New Haven Native American Church. Since that time our exemption status was taken away due to the issue that the government was confused over our Church on "how it could provide a satisfactorily detailed explanation of how it would provide for its dependent members nationwide". We find this strange that even though we do have ample support in place for our dependent members and also that we have never had a complaint to the Social Security Administration issued against our Church, still they took our exemption away.
Like we have seen numerous times before, the conquering government does not play by the same rules they enforce upon others. The Social Security Administration and the United States of America are heavily in debt and they too can not explain how they will provide for their dependent members other that continue to go further and further in debt. Sadly history has show humanity the disastrous consequences of such actions and it is the opinion of many economic experts their failure to learn form history this will lead to the death of millions of billions of people.
We are currently in the process of still trying many ways to legally establish a way for Church members to still be exempted from the Obamacare slavery. More information about this will be forthcoming.

Men's basketball has not started the season on the right foot. Princeton has already had a five-game losing streak, its worst in six years. The Tigers (2-6) were outscored by 50 points during that stretch, outrebounded by 25 and allowed a ridiculous 51 percent shooting mark from beyond the arc.
Still, there's reason for hope. In the final game of the Wooden Legacy Tournament played in California over Thanksgiving break, Princeton managed its first convincing win, albeit over a pitiful San Jose State squad by a score of 69-54.
Though the Spartans managed 40.9 percent three-point shooting, the Tigers were able to force 18 turnovers and win the rebounding battle 28-23. They also caught fire in the second half, making 15 of 21 attempts.
When asked the reason for the hot streak, Henderson answered that it was all about finding the open man and said, "It was fun watching them getting easy baskets." He cited the ratio of 20 assists to 26 field goals made as an indicator that his offense was playing like it should.
Sophomore forward Spencer Weisz has emerged as the team's primary offensive threat, averaging 15.3 points per game on 51.9 three-point shooting. He's also collecting 5.4 rebounds per game and has dished out 9 assists over the last two games. He's doing a very good job stepping into the role T.J. Bray '14 played last year — the do-it-all point guard who scores with efficiency, rebounds and is involved in every play.
Junior forward Hans Brase is contributing in the same ways he did last year, but with increased effectiveness. He's upped his rebounding average to 8.1 per game from 5.7, a rate that, if it were to stay for the season, would be Princeton's best since Andrew G. Rimol '74 averaged 8.2 in the 1972-73 season. He's also increased his three-point shooting from 32.4 percent to 44.7 percent and his scoring from 11.2 to 12.1 points per game while averaging the same number of shots. His biggest improvement on the stat sheet, however, is the 65 percent increase in assists per game, which could reflect either an improved ability to find teammates for open shots or greater participation in the offensive scheme.
The biggest surprise so far has been the emergence of freshman guard Amir Bell. Bell has started in all seven games, but his role in the first three was limited due to foul trouble. It's still an issue, but he's gained enough control to play about 30 minutes each of the last four games and average 11.4 points per game on 48.4 percent shooting. What the stats can't reveal is that he's also the most fearless and athletic player to wear the orange and black. With Princeton down 49-43 late in the University of Texas at El Paso game, Bell drove left from the foul line, spun, collected a foul and made the off-balance shot with one hand. Ten seconds later he pickpocketed the Miners' point guard, sprinted down court, took a hard foul and very nearly made a ridiculous reverse layup. Two free throws later he had cut the deficit to two, which was the closest the game would get.
As a whole, the Tigers have a few major strengths and two glaring weaknesses with most of their game rating as roughly average. They play very good team basketball, as they always have, indicated by the aforementioned assists to field goals made metric. They also take good care of the ball, committing relatively few turnovers per possession, and they crash the defensive boards pretty well, ranking among the top 20 percent of Division I in rebounding opponents' missed shots. On the other hand, their perimeter defense is among the worst few teams in the country, allowing 46.7 percent shooting from distance. The NCAA average is around 35 percent. If the Tigers were to start playing average perimeter defense, it would save them over five points per game, assuming their opponents continued attempting as many threes as they currently do. Their other big weakness is offensive rebounding. Princeton does not have much size, and although they box out well on the defensive end, they're 313th best at grabbing their own missed shots. The Tigers also struggle with foul trouble. In their last game against Fairleigh Dickinson University, they sent the Devils to the line for 41 free throws, an enormous total bettered just once in the last six seasons.
This Saturday, Stony Brook University visits Jadwin Gymnasium in what appears to be Princeton's toughest non-conference home matchup. The Sea Wolves (5-3) are led by junior forward Jameel Warney, a 2014 AP Honorable Mention All-America selection. Warney is averaging 12.3 rebounds per game, second-best in the country, to go with 2.5 blocks, also among the nation's leaders. Stony Brook is a physical, in-your-face team that plays almost entirely in the paint and rebounds very well. Its biggest weakness is its tendency to turn the ball over. Their style is very much the opposite of Princeton's, and the game could come down to how their strong offensive rebounding mixes with Princeton's strong defensive rebounding.

Fighting, Punching, and Spitting: Assault
Grabbing someone's wrist, spitting in someone's face, or punching someone are examples of acts that could be considered assault. Assault is a crime even if there is no apparent injury.
What Is Assault?
Assault is a crime that involves using force against someone without that person's consent. For example, throwing an object at someone, punching, or scratching people without their consent is a crime and can have legal consequences.
Only a Little Force
You can be accused of assault even if you didn't hurt the other person or used very little force. For example, spitting in a person's face can be an assault.
Important! Assault can have serious legal consequences when it puts the victim's life in danger or when the victim is injured.
Agreeing to Fight
As a general rule, when there is consent to the use of force, there is no assault.
For example, two people agree to go to the park to fight. This is not assault because both of them agreed to hit and punch one another.
The same rule applies in some sports. For example, when you agree to play a hockey game, you also agree to being body checked by other players, as long as they follow the rules of the game.
But agreeing to a fight does not mean that you agree to everything that can happen during the fight. You cannot consent to being seriously injured or harmed in a way that leads to serious health problems.
Important! Assault includes threatening or trying to use force when you are in a position to do so. This is true even if nothing happened or the other person was not hurt.

Crowd Content Review: Legit Writing Job Or Scam?
If you're a freelance writer, or are currently working a full-time job, wanting to get paid as a writer on a part-time basis, then signing up to a website like Crowd Content would be worth considering.
Crowd Content is a content mill website, that pays freelance writers to create content in a variety of areas for clients who are under resourced or simply too busy to do it themselves.
Before you fill out your application with Crowd Content, it is of interest to understand that whilst they might be a content mill in the broad sense of the word, they do provide work for writers that other content mills don't, like creating social media Facebook posts, Tweets, Metadata, and Product Descriptions.
I mention this, because those tasks, usually don't take a lot of time or effort to compose, so it's something you can do while working a full-time job, with a view of transitioning into freelance writing full-time.
The process to sign up is fairly intuitive, simply, click on the "Sign Up" link at the very top right hand corner of their website, then click on the "Worker" icon, then click on the "Create My Account" green button. From there, it's a case of following the sign up process, and filling out the forms.
When your application gets approved you will have access to a wide variety of writing jobs that is of interest to you. And, note : you can get paid two times a week, if you have enough funds in your account. This is great for freelance writers as it allows you to have almost instant access to your funds.
If you're a good writer, then there is another way you can make money with your writing on a consistent basis. Check out the step-by-step training that helps me earn over $10,000+ per month working from home.

What is Crowd Content?
As mentioned before, Crowd Content is a content mills that provides content for busy website and social media account owners. It is a platform that you submit writing assignments to freelance writers who fulfill their clients brief and deliver fast content turnaround.
Founded by CEO Clayton Lainsbury, he wanted to make the content creation process easier for both website owners and freelance writers.
They have over 2000 professional writers with over 99.7% content orders accepted, which means that your odds of getting paid for work is pretty damn high.
Who uses Crowd Content?
Like other content mills I have reviewed, there are two users of Crowd Content.
The first being the website or social media account owner who is too busy to create content themselves and the second are the freelance writers of Crowd Content, who want to make money providing writing services for clients.
This review is focused on how writers can make money with Crowd Content.
Unlike other content mills, there's no big qualifying hoops to jump through in order to pick up writing jobs. So, no grammar, spelling or writing tests – nope, only, as mentioned earlier, filling out an application and sending it in for approval.
After you've sent it in, you will receive an email from the company approving your application, and once that's done, you can start looking for writing assignments to complete.
I know – pretty simple, huh.
Well, not quite.
The majority of writing assignments don't require a test, however, there is a Special Formats section that you have to apply to and be accepted. This section includes the following, Facebook posts, Tweets, Metadata and Product Descriptions.
The test appears to be pretty simple though, and all that's required, is for you to write an example of you fulfilling a brief, in anyone of these areas.
For example, if you were to apply to write Facebook posts, then you would send in the title, subhead, call to action and a url of a relevant article. You would also do something similar for a Tweet and Product Description.
Once completed, you send it in, and then they determine whether you can write in this area.
How To Find Writing Assignments
Your access to orders depend on a few factors, but, by far the most important is your quality level. The higher your Quality level the more writing assignments you will have access to see.
You are shown high level information on each order including the title, category, the Quality level that was placed on it and maximum potential earnings if you complete the order.
It's important to carefully read the instructions on an order before claiming it, to ensure you have the appropriate skills and knowledge to complete the clients brief.
If you do decide to claim an order, it becomes your responsibility to meet the clients deadlines.
With every content mill I have reviewed to date, all – if not most, have a system they adopt to help enforce, or promote, a set of working or writing behaviors, that is in alignment with their core values, mission statement or brand.
Crowd Content is no different in this respect.
Whilst the entry barrier to write for Crowd Content is low, they do have a "system" in place that harps back to their core values of 1) Create High Quality Content, 2) Deliver Fast Turn Around times, and lastly 3) Be Extremely Reliable.
I'm guessing that they believe customers will be happy and keep coming back if these requirements are met, and I tend to agree.
The 3 Strikes System
It sort of speaks for itself really.
Just like baseball, if you accumulate 3 strikes on your account, then you're out. Your account will be locked and you won't be able to make money as a writer for Crowd Content.
Pretty simple I guess, but what constitutes a strike, and can you get a strike removed, or are you forever walking on egg shells?
The three-strike system works like this:
If you perform a violation, you receive a strike on your writer account and your claim limit is reduced.
If you complete 5 orders in a row without a strike, all strikes on your account are removed.
If, at any time, you reach 3 strikes, your writer account will be closed and you will not be able to sign in again.
What Is a Violation?
There are only three violations that can get you a strike. They are listed below.
Dropping an order after the 30 minute Drop Window
Letting a deadline expire before submitting the completed content to the client
Letting a revision deadline expire before submitting the revised content to the client
What Is My Claim Limit?
Your Claim Limit tells you how many orders you can have "In Progress" at one time. This number will increase as you complete orders and avoid strikes.
The current Claim Limit schedule is as follows:
New Writers: 1 order
Complete 5 consecutive orders without a strike: 3 orders
Complete 10 consecutive orders without a strike: 4 orders
Remember, this only applies to your "In Progress" orders. "Submitted" orders do not count towards your Claim Limit.
You can learn more about there process in Crowd Content writers guide.
How Do You Make Money With Crowd Content
Obviously, this depends on the the number of words you've written and how much you can charge per word. As described above, the charge out rate for content differs, depending if you are writing an article, blog post, product description, etc.
To get paid with Crowd Content you will first need to have a Paypal account setup. If you don't already have an account, it is very simple to get one created, and best of all it is free to setup.
Crowd Content pays out twice a week on a Tuesday and Friday, so long as your account has $10, or more in the balance. This is a little higher than some of the other content mills I have reviewed in the past, but, still, it is a very low threshold to reach in order for you to redeem your funds.
What Are Others Saying About Crowd Content?
In researching Crowd Content, I happened to come across a few comments on Reddit and Glassdoor that might offer a little insight into what it's like to work with them.
Obviously, take these comments with a grain of salt, as there could be a number of reasons why some folk are having more success with them than others. But, suffice it to say that you should do your own research into whether Crowd Content is a good fit for you.
From Reddit :
So I'm trying to use crowd content, but I barely see anything? I passed their marketplace test. Nothing In the marketplace. Just some Casting calls for automotive, Best Buy, and care… not too interested in those, am I missing something?
And another said …
Yeah, it's quiet. I keep the site open and grab jobs as they come up, but I certainly wouldn't rely on it as a main source of income.
From Glassdoor :
The project managers are friendly, concise and easy to work with. I've always been able to ask for clarification on my assignments when it's needed and I usually get a reply to my questions very promptly — even on weekends. I started writing on Crowd Content nearly a year ago and was hoping to write a couple of small projects each week to make some pocket cash (mostly to fund my makeup buying habit). After a few months, I began earning enough to supplement my husband's income considerably and now, I'm earning a full-time income and have consistent access to multiple projects. It's incredible to be able to work from home on my own schedule (provided I comply with the deadlines of the assignments I choose to work on) and spend time with my kids when I want to. And on top of that, the financial freedom we now have thanks to this company is unbelievable. I'm not rich by any means, but we've gone from a single-income family to a dual-income family without me having to work outside of the home, and that's a serious game changer!
And a negative comment from the same person.
The first couple of months are slow. I think I earned $15 or less my first few weeks on the platform and less than $100 a week for a while following that. The key is sticking it out though, once you're through the rough patch it's smooth sailing (most of the time). Pay rates are a little low compared to what most freelance writers charge (but that being said, it's fair for the work we're completing).
What I Liked about Crowd Content
You can get paid for writing smaller pieces of content.
You can get paid twice a week, which is better than most content mills.
Little to no spelling, grammar or writing tests to get started.
The threshold for redeeming your funds are low.
What I Didn't Like about Crowd Content
Access to complete orders are determined largely by your Quality level, which is at the lowest when you first get started. This means that you don't get full access to high paying orders in the marketplace until you've completed a number of orders.
Do I Recommend Crowd Content?
Crowd Content is definitely a legit website for freelance writers to make money completing writing assignments. The fact that they have a low threshold of $10, and that you can have access to these funds twice a week scores some major brownie points with me.
The sign up and application process is also a bonus in that you don't have to pass grammar or writing tests like some other content mills.
The fact that you can complete small content assignments is also a bonus if you are time poor and are looking to complete a number of consecutive orders at one time.
So as far as content mills are concerned, I feel that Crowd Content could be a good option, and worth the time and effort to at least check them out. But, just be sure to go in with the right expectations, knowing that it might be a little slow in the beginning.

Clicksfly Review : Legit URL Shorteners Or Scam?


Earlier this week, SAP CMO Jonathan Becher, joined fellow CMOs Nora Denzel from Intuit, Anne Globe of Dreamworks, and Lorraine Twohill at Google for an enlightening (and fun) discussion on the role of the CMO and Marketing overall, in a fast-changing world.
The thesis they began with: social media, big data, and other disruptive technologies have turned traditional marketing on its ear. The CMO's role is expanding beyond brand responsibility to include aspects such as corporate culture, and even the voice of the customer. In addition, marketing is now purchasing significant technology and services from their own budgets, and, according to Gartner, within five years will spend more on IT than the CIO.
Here's a quick recap of the lively discussion, not in my words, but in the words of attendees as captured through Twitter.
Does this resonate with you? Do you see these trends occurring at your company and in the broader market? What burning issue did they neglect to discuss during this panel, which you would want to see raised?


Hi, I am a passionate graphic designer. My core of competence are making logos and print designs . I have more than 6 years of experience in creating logos, business cards, corporate identity, flyers, booklets and much more. Working with Creative Suit(Photoshop, Illustrator, In design), I've much more experience in making marketing material such as FB campaigns, html email and web design.

Though I have slightly increased my activity in the blogosphere so far this year, it has been difficult to go through many films. Most of what I've watched are blind spots from last year, but I still have a lot of catching up to do. As it has been the case in the last few months, I probably spent more time on a couple of TV shows. First, I went through the first two seasons of BBC's original series Peaky Blinders and, in the last couple of days of February, I devoured the entire third season of House of Cards (I know…)

During the past 3 slow months worth of blogging, I have seen many different films that have not enjoyed the benefit of a review. To try to catch up I offer a long collection of small reviews of most of the films I have watched in the last three months that did not get a review until now. A total of 24 films, a couple of which will get longer in-depth reviews. The highlights of the list are Weekend and Sunshine, both very different but very pleasant surprises.
I apologize in advance if this gets a little long. Enjoy:
The French Connection (1971)
Genre: Action/Thriller
Cast: Gene Hackman, Roy Scheider, Fernando Rey
Director: William Friedkin
Writers: Ernest Tidyman, Robin Moore (original novel), Howard Hanks
Rating: 3.5/5 (good)
Starring Gene Hackman in a now famous role as tough cop Jimmy Doyle, The French Connection is an intense thriller that takes place in the harsh New York winter of 1970.
Most of the success of the film is due to its intensity and realism, displaying some of the most exciting chase sequences ever put on film. These have surprisingly lost little of their power over time, feeling current even today (minus antiquated vehicles and fashion). The cast is also excellent, further enriching the well-crafted dynamic between cops, informants, low-lives and criminals. I just wish the film had focused less on the details and intricacies of case-solving and criminal chasing and more on character-building.

...and my labs look good, too. I don't have to go back to Moffitt until December. God in his mercy continues to keep me cancer free, for now.
I say "for now" not because I have any sense of impending doom, but because (just keeping it real, folks), I've been treated for a rare and aggressive form of cancer that tends to favor metastasizing to the lungs.
I also say "for now" because I tend to think individuals that have never personally experienced cancer expect for the rest of us to maintain a relentless degree of positive thinking.
I'm not nay saying being positive...there were times in my own treatment where a "fake it till you make it" smile was what got me through the day. But no one can be positive all of the time.
For those of us that have been there, we know that recovery means that cancer becomes less and less a part of our everyday lives. I don't think about my cancer constantly, but I am never without reminders.
My scars may be (slowly) fading, but the cloud still lurks, ever so subtly at times. That persistent cough I had several weeks ago...could that be lung mets? The stabbing pain that pops up at the end of long days...surgical adhesions or something more malicious? Is my intermittent alexia leftover from the chemo bombardment (do you know that my system STILL hasn't fully cleared the noxious stuff??) or just the result of being a somewhat harried mommy of four? Is life feeling pretty good at the moment....what could be lurking around the corner?
Funny, in Cancer World (thank you Leroy Sievers), the newbies stand out above even the most chemo and radiation battered combatant. They wander around the center, fumble through the system, and well, they don't yet get it.
"She's awfully friendly", I hear stage whispered about sweet Margie, the clinic receptionist who knows the names of all of my children, stops me to hear the latest news on my way out the door, and hands out hugs to all of her "darlin's".
"Well...", one of the nearby veterans says, "she's seen a lot of us through quite a bit".
They'll get it soon enough. They'll understand why someone would ask for a specific tech to start their IV (God bless you, my brother Phillip!). Or how despite seeing hundreds of patients a day, Laura at the lab knows exactly how your hair has changed in the last four months. Or how complete strangers can have uplifting and encouraging--but NOT relentlessly positive conversations in the hospital halls and end up corresponding with one another.
God willing, someday they'll also understand how despite utter exhaustion and four kids at home waiting to be fed, a day at Moffitt can be a really, really good day.
Amen and Amen! God is good. All the time.
And from where we sit - a long way from Cancerland - it sounds like today was a GOOD day at Moffitt!
Praising Him with you. Good news indeed.
Praising God with you, Heather, and thanking Him for more time with you in our life!
I'm glad to hear your good news, Heather! And it's interesting to hear the contrast between the "newbies" and the more seasoned chemo patients.
I'm so thankful things went well yesterday.
Glad to hear this. You've been in our prayers.

Will the Microsoft Open Source Odyssey Extend to Windows?
While the notion would have been ludicrous in years past, experts are hinting that an open source Windows could be a possibility down the road.
By Jeffrey Schwartz
Every time Microsoft takes a new step toward embracing open source, the company raises eyebrows. The reaction ranges from high praise to cackles of suspicion. Yet Microsoft's first major step to embrace the Linux community dates back to 2007 when it partnered with Novell (now SUSE), and created its Interoperability
Council in 2010. Despite its various efforts, critics have had a hard time getting past former CEO Steve Ballmer's warning that Linux was a cancer and that it was fit for communists.
Microsoft's incremental embrace of the open source community has culminated with last year's announcement that it would contribute the famed proprietary .NET Framework including its Visual Studio tooling and last fall's pact to support Linux-based Docker containers in Windows and Microsoft Azure. Microsoft says 20 percent of server instances running in the Azure cloud are Linux-based.
So when Wired Business Editor Cade Metz, during a panel discussion he moderated at last month's ChefConf, asked Azure CTO Mark Russinovich if Microsoft would ever consider opening Windows, the response made headlines. "It's definitely possible," Russinovich responded to an audience of open source purists. "It's a new Microsoft."
Whether Microsoft goes that route, many in the open source community are still suspicious of the company, which is why Russinovich and the likes of Windows PowerShell inventor Jeffrey Snover are trying to make their case. At least for some it's working. "To me it's powerful, as an open source advocate, to watch them make that transformation," said Facebook Systems Engineer and longtime outspoken Microsoft critic Phil Dibowitz, who was on the open source panel discussion with Metz and Russinovich. "It makes me super excited."

Home > All persons > Kevin Spacey
Kevin Spacey is a Actor, Director, Scriptwriter and Producer American born on 26 july 1959 at South Orange (USA)
Birth name Kevin Spacey Fowler
Birth 26 july 1959 (60 years) at South Orange (USA)
Creator of Trigger Street Productions
Awards Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, Laurence Olivier Award, Academy Award for Best Actor, Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire
Kevin Spacey Fowler, KBE (born July 26, 1959), better known as Kevin Spacey, is an American actor, film director, writer, producer, and comedian. He began his career as a stage actor during the 1980s before obtaining supporting roles in film and television. He gained critical acclaim in the early 1990s that culminated in his first Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for the neo-noir crime thriller The Usual Suspects (1995), and an Academy Award for Best Actor for midlife crisis-themed drama American Beauty (1999).
During a career which has also earned Spacey several Emmy and Golden Globe nominations, his other starring roles have included the psychological thriller Seven (1995), the neo-noir crime film L.A. Confidential (1997), the drama Pay It Forward (2000), the science fiction-mystery film K-PAX (2001), and the role of Lex Luthor in the superhero film Superman Returns (2006). He has been artistic director of the Old Vic theatre in London since 2004, and is stepping down mid-2015. Since 2013, Spacey has played Frank Underwood in the Netflix political drama series House of Cards. For his role as Underwood, he has won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Television Series Drama.
A 1999 Sunday Times article stated that Spacey's "love affair with acting, and the absence of a visible partner in the life of an attractive 40-year-old, has resulted in misunderstanding and Esquire magazine's bet-hedging assertion two years ago that he must be gay". He responded to such rumors by telling Playboy and other interviewers that he was not gay, and telling Lesley White of the Sunday Times, "I chose for a long time not to answer these questions because of the manner in which they were asked, and because I was never talking to someone I trusted, so why should I? Recently I chose to participate because it's a little hard on the people I love."
In an interview with Gotham, Spacey said, "I've just never believed in pimping my personal life out for publicity. I'm not interested in doing it. Never will do it. They can gossip all they want; they can speculate all they want. I just happen to believe that there's a public life and there's a private life. Everybody has a right to a private life no matter what their profession is." In 2000, he took his girlfriend of several years to the Academy Awards and thanked her during the acceptance speech for his Best Actor award. Reports in 1999 and 2000 suggested that she was a script supervisor named Dianne Dreyer.
In September 2006, Spacey said that he intends to take up British citizenship when it becomes available to him. He is a Democrat and a friend of Bill Clinton, having met the former U.S. President before his presidency began. He described Clinton as "one of the shining lights" of the political process. According to Federal Election Commission data, as of 2006, Spacey had contributed $42,000 to Democratic candidates and committees. He additionally made a cameo appearance in the short film President Clinton: Final Days, a light-hearted political satire produced by the Clinton administration for the White House Correspondents Dinner.
In September 2007, Spacey met Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez. Neither spoke to the press about their encounter, but hours later, Spacey visited the government-funded film studio Villa del Cine. In December 2007, he co-hosted the Nobel Peace Prize Concert with Uma Thurman. In March 2011, following Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko's crackdown on the Belarusian democracy movement, Spacey joined Jude Law and others in street protests against Lukashenko.

The Festivals in Edinburgh might be over ... but the massive industrial clean-up still goes on.
This year, as a drive to build the Circular Economy, everything from costumes, stage props and billboards are getting a new lease of life at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Swap Shop for performers.
The circular economy is a movement to ensure scarce resources are kept in use for as long as possible and raw materials are preserved, and waste minimised through re-use and recycling or new business ideas.
The Fringe Swap Shop is a re-use project started and run by the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, with support from Creative Carbon Scotland.
Zero Waste Scotland visited the Swap Shop on the last day of the Festival and saw the range of props donated by performers which can now be used again.
The Festivals are a key target of Circular Edinburgh, launched this year by Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce and Zero Waste Scotland, backed by the Scottish Government and European Regional Development Fund. This is due to the massive impact they have on the city, the economic role they play, and the potential to make much better use of the resources they use and the waste they generate.
Aileen Boyle, Circular Economy Project Manager, Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce, said: "We are delighted to see this fantastic initiative taking place in Scotland's capital. It is great to see hugely influential organisations like the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, helping to lead the way in circular economy thinking and adoption.
