Ever had one of those story ideas that just wouldn't leave you alone? Or woke you up in the middle of the night? Great, isn't it? Writers love those ideas.
That's how my debut novel, The Eternity Plague, got its start.
Sometime in the fall of 2003 (October, maybe?) I woke up early in the morning, thinking about what would happen if people suddenly became immortal, without having done anything to earn or deserve it. Finding the secret to immortality, only to discover there's a high price to be paid for it, paying it, and then being left to wonder—for the rest of eternity—whether it was worth it or not is an old idea. Robert Silverberg told it in The Book of Skulls.
What kept me awake until I got up and wrote it down, however, was the twist of immortality just happening. What happens if there's no obvious price to be paid up front? What if the price becomes apparent only after the immortality has been achieved?
And what would happen if the immortality turned out later not to be real but only a case of seeming wish-fulfillment—after so many people had emotionally committed to that fulfillment?
Yeah, that's an idea I can run with. And so the story began.
There were a number of other things happening in my life and around the world around that time that influenced the development of the story.
First, I was taking undergraduate college courses in order to have enough humanities credits to enroll in a master's degree program in English that I hoped would improve my writing to the point that I could publish. This was still at a time when traditional publishing was the primary way of getting your work out to the reading public.
Second, this was around the time when the national news media was all a-twitter about the avian flu epidemic in Asia and how it was sure to spread around the world and there was no cure and we were all going to DIE!!!!
Which, as you know, didn't happen.
Third, I knew what I didn't want to write was the tired old cliché of the evil/mad scientist who's out for revenge or something but gets it wrong and is surprised by unintended effects and consequences.
So there was my mechanism for creating this pseudo-immortality: viral infection. And a source of conflict: biology and biologists versus the news media, overwrought reporting, and unrealistic expectations.
Okay, but what about impacts? What's the problem, really, with living forever? Well, what happens to the earth's population if the birthrate doesn't go down dramatically? Shades of Soylent Green, no? Sort of, and environmental catastrophe generally. Robert Malthus on steroids.
And how would religions deal with the end of death? No more reincarnation. No more translations to heaven—or hell. No more dust to dust.
But wouldn't there also be people who believed these problems, especially the physical, psychological, environmental, etc., ones could be solved now that everyone had all the time they would ever need to solve them? Of course there would be.
And couldn't there…? Hang on. This is complex enough already.
So that's where it started. Geneticist Janet Hogan and her team discover the viruses that cause the syndrome reporter Lisa Lange names the Eternity Plague. Environmentalist David Wade realizes the consequences the plague is going to have for humanity and Mother Earth, which safety lobbyist Sarah Green-Dale believes can be solved. The Reverend William Baxter struggles with the moral and religious consequences. Everyone wants Janet to do what they want: to cure or not cure the plague. It's a fine mess, and while Janet finally decides what she's going to do, the plague viruses aren't yet done with humanity… and Janet's one of the first to feel their next effects.
For a long time I thought The Eternity Plague was going to be a stand-alone book. Now I know it's the start of a series. As I write this, the first draft of book 2 is in progress. And book 3? Stay tuned.


Know the best 5 low maintenance cars in India. Check out the service costs of these pocket-friendly Indian cars – Maruti Alto, Tata Nano, Maruti Swift, Toyota Etios Liva and Hyundai Grand i10.
Maintenance is one of the most important aspects while buying a car in India. The car buyers always have a budget set in their mind before going for a car purchase and they preferably search for low maintenance cars to keep the cost of ownership low. They evaluate a car on various parameters like mileage, yearly insurance premium, cost of the spare parts, service network, service charges etc. After all, everybody wants a car to be as economical as it can be.
So, here we have listed the 5 best low maintenance cars in India to ease your research for the pocket-friendly cars. These cars are cost effective not only in terms of maintenance but also come at an affordable price tag, check them out.
The Maruti Alto siblings, the Alto K10 and the Alto 800 are not only the practical and affordable cars to own, but also have reasonable maintenance charges. The regular servicing of the Alto K10 and the Alto 800 would cost you around Rs. 2400 – 3800 approximately.
Tata Nano is another most affordable car for Indian families. It is not only best in terms of affordability but also costs quite reasonable in terms of maintenance. It comes with a free service till 20,000 kilometers or 24 months, whichever is earlier.
Maruti Suzuki Swift is no doubt one of the most successful hatchbacks in the country and has always been well-received by the car buyers due to its advantages like affordable service cost, reasonable labor charges and low cost spare parts. The company offers Swift's first 3 services free under which regular inspection, engine tuning, engine oil, oil filter and air filter replacement are covered. But the consumables price has to be paid by the consumer himself. For the first three years, the approximate maintenance of Maruti Swift is Rs. 2,100, Rs. 4,200 and Rs. 3,300 respectively.
Toyota Etios Liva is another impressive vehicle in this list of low maintenance cars. The biggest advantage of the car is that it doesn't need any coolant and transmission oil change for 1.5 lakh kilometers. But you need to change the air-filter and brake fluid at every 40,000 kilometers that cost you somewhere in the range of Rs. 800 – 1000. For Etios Liva, the scheduled services cost you around Rs. 3500 – 4000 approx. that includes engine oil and oil filter replacement, and spark plug cleaning.
Hyundai Grand i10 is one of the most pocket-friendly cars in the Hyundai line-up which comes with 3 labour services free of cost for 3 years that cut down the servicing cost by a decent margin. Added to this, the first servicing of the car is free of cost and the following services cost you Rs. 2500 – 3000 approximately.


Marital property is any property that's acquired during the course of the party's marriage; separate property would be more appropriately called non-marital property. Non-marital property is any property that's listed by statute in the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Statue. You have to look at it as there are specific categories of non- marital property. Generally, non- marital property is property that's received through an inheritance, received as a gift, excluded by a specific agreement, or through a prenuptial agreement. Or perhaps, premarital property, something the party entered the marriage with.

Man Donates Kidney To Help Save Father-In-Law's Life
By Dr. Mallika Marshall March 19, 2018 at 5:56 pm
Filed Under:Dr. Mallika Marshall, HealthWatch, kidney donation, Kidney Donors, Kidney Transplant
BOSTON (CBS) – A local man gave his father-in-law a new lease on life in the most unconventional way. Tony Darosa was busy running his printing business on Martha's Vineyard when his wife of 50 years suggested he see a doctor.
"My wife said, 'There's something not right,'" Darosa said.
The active 70-year-old said he felt fine but did what he was told and within days he was loaded onto an ambulance and shipped to Tufts Medical Center. He was in complete kidney failure.
"The bladder backed up into my kidneys and basically I guess killed them," he explained.
Tony was placed on dialysis and thought that was how he'd spend the rest of his days, until Dr. Charles Strom, a transplant surgeon at Tufts, said he'd be a good candidate for a kidney transplant.
"He's such a healthy and robust gentleman that I pushed very hard to have him evaluated," Dr. Strom said.
Mr. Darosa would likely have had to wait 5 to 8 years for a deceased donor kidney so the chance that he would die waiting for one was pretty good. His best option was a living donor, but who?
"It's tough, in the beginning, to even think about asking someone to give a kidney," Darosa said. But seven people, including family and friends, stepped forward and the best match was not a blood relation but his son-in-law, Michael.

"I was kind of shocked in the very beginning but I never hesitated," Michael said.
So back in December, Michael gave Tony a life-saving kidney.
"It was Christmas time, I had to give him something. He's tough to buy for," he added.
Michael jokes that years ago he agreed to take care of Tony's daughter.
"I didn't know I was going to have to take care of him, too. He's the father of my wife and the grandfather of my children and if something happened to him it would really affect everyone involved. I didn't think it was that big of a deal at the time and I still don't think it was that big of a deal," Michael said.
Tony knows it was a big deal and can't be more grateful to Michael.
"He wants to make sure I take care of his kidney," Tony said.
"I keep my eye on that kidney, I get a certain feeling when I get around him," Michael said.
"It's always nice to see non-family members donating because whereas family members often feel obligated to do it, people who are not related who do it often do it out of the goodness of their heart so it was a special thing to see Michael do it," says Dr. Strom.
Tony is expected to live a full healthy life now, thanks to Michael.

Menu Design in America BU
Until restaurants became commonplace in the late 1800s, printed menus for meals were rare commodities reserved for special occasions. As restaurants proliferated, the menu became more than just a culinary listing: it was an integral part of eating out, a clever marketing tool, and a popular keepsake. Menu Design is an omnibus showcasing the best examples of this graphic art. Illustrated in vibrant color, this compact volume not only gathers an extraordinary collection of paper ephemera but serves as a history of restaurants and dining out in America. Featuring both covers and interiors, the menus offer an epicurean tour and insight to more than a hundred years of dining out.An introduction on the history of menu design by graphic design writer Steven Heller and extended captions by culinary historian John Mariani accompany each piece throughout the book. Various photographs of restaurants round out this compendium that will appeal to anyone who enjoys dining out and its graphic and gastronomic history.
Jim Heimann, Steven Heller, John Mariani

RUNE OF THE MONTH: Ing "completion". A month to tie loose ends and reap the rewards for everything we have planted in the past. We should feel a sense of accomplishment. As we see the light at the end of the tunnel, all our efforts, the discipline we have persevered with and also the challenges we have been subjected to, start making more sense. A month of endings, in prevision of new beginnings.
April is an eclipse month. Eclipse months are always exciting in that they bring major changes, often irrevocable. They are stepping stones into a new reality that will, within a month, completely replace the old one, leading to new tracks operational for the following 19 years. A sense of acceleration and intensity accompanies these dates on which nothing we don't fully mean, should be said. If we need to make decisions on those dates (April 15th and 28th), let us be absolutely sure that we shall not be changing our minds, as it could become exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, to take anything back.
The lunar eclipse (Full Moon) falls on 25º16' Libra on Tuesday 4/15 at 0:42 AM PDT. The image associated with this degree is: "An eagle and a large white dove turning into each other". Power and peace are coming together to create a new vision in our lives. Relationships can only be sustained inasmuch as they support and enrich our personal truth. New information challenges previously held ideas. Kindness, unconditional love, gentleness and compassion become popular concepts. Sensitivity to beauty and the oneness of all life spreads like a wild fire. The state of the waters and marine life becomes of great global concern. Religious intolerance comes to the forefront, making people question indoctrination and conditioned beliefs keeping humanity in the dark ages. A great need to leave old paradigms behind and move forward in our lives, motivates dynamic actions leading to new conditions in relationships, family situations, on the home and job fronts, as well as in regards to health issues.
The solar eclipse (New Moon) falls on 8º52' Taurus on Monday 4/28 at 11:14 PM PDT. This degree is symbolized by: "A decorated Christmas tree". As our world crumbles, we are uplifted by wisdom coming from higher realms of consciousness. Our sensitivity to vibrations and our ability to channel angelic visions, help us understand the bigger picture and not stay caught in what is dissolving. We decorate Christmas trees as symbols of hope and new life in honor of the divine. December is a time of gifts, gratitude, family reunions and generosity of spirit. This eclipse is pointing to the need to simplify our lives, focus on what is truly important from our hearts and build solid relationships with others in mutual benevolent support. Angel dust is likely to sprinkle miracles over the most desperate of situations and resolve them as if by enchantment. Inspired dreams and powerful visions bring amazing solutions. The more we stay calm and tap into the wisdom of nature, the more peacefully things will unfold in our own world.
Both eclipses are intensified with the Cardinal Grand Cross (4 planets connected by 90º angles) between Uranus in Aries, Jupiter in Cancer, Mars in Libra, and Pluto in Capricorn that both eclipse charts contain. On a physical level, electrical failure is likely to happen, as well as volcano eruptions and earthquakes. Changes in the collective won't occur smoothly. There could be a sense of tremendous violence as people start speaking their minds. Intense rebellious actions from previously repressed groups could be triggered by (too) long hidden truths emerging into the open in a sudden and unexpected manner. Corruptions are revealed, lack of integrity is being exposed, leading to the continuation of the breaking down of the economic system and major political changes. On a personal level, we are called out of our comfort zone and can leave no stone unturned. Whatever wasn't working in our relationships, in our jobs, in our families, in our financial situation, becomes unbearable and requires major action on our part. Our bodies could also be challenged during this time as we are ridding ourselves of past karmic baggage.
Mars remains retrograde this whole month until May 20th. Its shadow period (the time necessary for it to return to the exact position it started its retrograde movement on) lasts until July 21. During the next 3 months, our vital energy is turned inwards. Not a good period to start activities requiring physicality, nor a sexual relationship. Buying a new car may not be the best thing either. We may feel more reserved than usual and more reflective. Projects are not entered into impulsively. We think many times before acting and are wise with regard to the long term consequences of new endeavors.
Saturn remains retrograde this whole month until July 21. Its shadow period lasts until October 27th. During the next 5 months, we are required to simplify our lives, become more self-sufficient and disciplined. Playing by the rules and respecting divine laws is particularly important. So is becoming clear on our short and long term priorities. A need to simplify our lives and be focused on our ambitions permeates this period. In April, Saturn, the planet of time and wisdom, travels between 22º36 and 20º49' Scorpio. These degrees are symbolized by: "A rabbit metamorphosed into a nature spirit", "Hunters shooting wild ducks", "Obeying his conscience, a soldier resists orders". The month of April requests of us to be in integrity both with ourselves and with nature, with a clear inner understanding that all is one and that everything we do in alignment with our highest good, affects the collectivity, creating healing for humanity at large.
Pluto turns retrograde on 4/14 at 4:44 PM and remains so until September 22nd. Its shadow period remains until January 13, 2015. 6 to 9 months of intense clearing of the past. We are asked to get rid of everything that no longer serves us, to be intensely thorough in our inner transformations and literally go through closets and cupboards, throwing/giving away what we don't need anymore. Emotionally and spiritually, we need to search our souls deeply and transform any self-undoing habit so that we may regenerate at a cellular level. Toxicity may surface in the form of illnesses that help us clear our system of old karmic residues and shift from carbon-base to crystal base. The Sabian symbol associated with 13º31' Capricorn is: "An ancient bas-relief carved in granite remains a witness to a long-forgotten culture." We are likely to explore more deeply our own family tree, connect profoundly to our spiritual lineage and start remembering more clearly the parallel realities that inform our present lifetime, allowing us to be more fully all that we are in our completeness.

…is particularly powerful this month because of the 2 eclipses. Its effects will be multiplied manifold. Dream big!
Our intentional meditation starts on Tuesday 4/15 with the Full Moon in Libra (Lunar Eclipse). Take out as many blank sheets as you will have intentions and put them out on a balcony, in a garden, or near a window to be charged by the Full Moon at exactly 0:42 AM (you can place them several hours before until several hours after that time).
On Monday 4/28, on the New Moon in Taurus (Solar Eclipse) take out your blank full moon charged papers and write on each a concise, positive intention. Place them on a balcony, in a garden or near a window so that they are basking in the moonlight at 11:14 PM (you can put them out up to several hours prior to that time). Once that moment has passed (even if several hours later, or in the evening), staple them together and put them away in a folder expecting the manifestation of all your dreams….
A day to avoid excesses. Propositions that seem too good to be true, may just be so. It is important that we do not promise more than we can deliver. Not the best day for long distance traveling, higher education, nor signing legal documents.
A day to expect the unexpected! Yet our focus is serious and we are drawn to matters of importance. A day to shift gears, reinvent ourselves, meet new people, bring out our wild side, own our originality and anchor our eccentricity in practical reality with maturity and wisdom.
A day where corruption, power games, lies and/or manipulations could push us to our limits. Essential to remain in our integrity and rather than use force, seek mutually beneficial solutions.
During this coming month, our compassion and sensitivity to beauty are heightened. We are connected to the oneness of all things. We feel more mystically inclined. A divine sense permeates all that we see. As we listen to our hearts, the veil between dimensions becomes thinner.
During the next 3 weeks, our mind is more active. We think faster, are more prone to making impulsive decisions, and feel dynamically involved in leading rather than following. We could become impatient with shortcomings, -our own and those of others-. A sense of urgency motivates decision-making. We are open to new ideas. A great time to start projects requiring enthusiasm and energy.
We could find ourselves under a lot of pressure today, requiring much energy and courage on our part. Hostile people are best met with integrity and compassion. Forcing issues today is likely to backfire. Best to avoid any cutting or metal object and be careful while driving.
A day of great emotional sensitivity. Attraction to beauty, compassion and unconditional love are particularly strong. We feel more vulnerable and dreamy than usual. If we beware of illusions, our romantic life could become particularly enchanted.
Regarding Pluto retrograde, kindly refer to the opening paragraph. Today, more particularly, our mind is particularly sharp and active. We are likely to become fascinated with life after death, UFOs, philosophical, religious and cultural matters. Long distance travel is not advised. Best to choose cooperation in integrity over power struggles with people who tend to use force. Remaining flexible is a must, as many new informations could emerge leading to the need to change directions swiftly.
Not a day to engage in any kind of extravagance! Moderation in legal, religious and cultural matters are all called for today, as well as when traveling or gambling. Best to channel excessive energy in mellow sports and to think positively!
During the next few couple of weeks, our thinking is slower and more thorough than usual. We need to digest information and make it our own rather than blindly accept what is being said to us. We may also be drawn to nature, beauty and peace. Today, more specifically, extra caution needs to be had while operating a motor vehicle or when using any sharp, metallic object. We could be more accident prone than usual and need to stay away from any violent people or conflictual situations. Anger could prove particularly destructive.
A wonderful day to become very clear on our emotional needs. A positive existing romance, solidifies today, leading to a deeper commitment. Regarding a relationship that has been shaky for a while, we could come to the rational conclusion that it is best to end what is not working. Our understanding of love matures and becomes more grounded in practical reality.
A great day for making phone calls, writing e-mails and dealing with anything requiring clear communication. We are mentally focused and direct. Great also for social gatherings, short trips and trading.
We could feel more dreamy today. Attention to details is elusive. Definitely not the best day to sign important documents as we could miss some of the fine print. This transit is best used being artistically creative, healing, meditating or channeling IF we are careful not to engage in spiritual imagination. As our unconscious mind is taking more space, we could feel more tired than usual. Resting, dreaming could be particularly rewarding.
An inspiring day. Artists and those engaged in spiritual practices, will welcome this energy. We are connected to the oneness of all things and can more easily than usual channel higher dimensions of consciousness. Beauty, peace, harmony and balance are attractive in that they enable us to be more deeply in touch with our own divinity.
Our mind is particularly focused and prone to exploring mysteries today. Great for studying metaphysical truths, science or topics requiring intense concentration and attention to details. We are able to X-ray situations and people, as well as uncover hidden motivations. There are no secrets that we won't be interested in today. Life after death, sexuality, psychic phenomena or archeological finds dated before recorded history, feel deeply attractive. We could come close to unraveling elusive mysteries.
Long distance traveling, spirituality, philosophy, higher education and legal matters are enhanced and protected today. We feel more optimistic than usual and more prone to focusing on the silver lining of every dark cloud. Great for social gatherings focusing on religious, legal, philosophical, cultural or educational matters.


In Britain, people typically switch their central heating on in October and use it daily until March or April. This coincides with the clocks going back, the drop in temperature and Winter Fuel Payments – to anyone who receives the state pension.
Heating homes accounts for over 70% of household energy consumption. So reducing this figure – while keeping homes warm enough – not only cuts energy bills, but helps meet the carbon reduction commitments that the UK government is legally required to deliver.
The most recent figures show that 2.38m households in the UK are in fuel poverty – which basically means that almost 11% of British homes cannot afford to keep warm. But while the scale of this problem is significant, not all the solutions need to be complex and costly. So here are 10 simple tips for keeping your home warm for little or no extra cost – just in time for that severe weather warning.
Heat from the sun is free so make the most of it. Open your curtains and let the sunlight in during the day to make use of this free heat. When it gets dark, shut your curtains, which act as another layer of insulation and keep warmth in your rooms. You should also make sure you don't have any leaks or gaps so that the warm air can stay in and the cold air stays out – this also helps to reduce condensation.
The Centre for Sustainable Energy advises that programming your boiler to turn the heating on a little earlier – such as 30 minutes before you get up in the morning – but at a lower temperature is cheaper than turning it on just as you need it at a higher temperature. This is because a boiler heats up at a constant speed whether you set your thermostat to 20°C or 30°C. But don't make the mistake of leaving your heating on low all day – because then you're just paying for heat when you don't need it.
When it comes to heat, around 25% is lost through the roof. This can be easily reduced by installing 25cm of insulation throughout your loft. It's also worth seeing what's going on in your walls, as around a third of the heat in an uninsulated home is lost this way. Although it's not as cheap to install as loft insulation, cavity wall insulation could save up to £160 a year in heating bills. It's also worth checking with your energy supplier to see if they have any insulation schemes running – which can sometimes mean cheap or free installation.
If you have a hot water tank, make sure it is properly lagged – or insulated. This will keep the water warmer for longer, and reduce heating costs. The Energy Community reckons that insulating an uninsulated water tank could save up to £150 a year – but even just upgrading your tank's "old jacket" will help to save money.


For the last 30 years, Peter Gassner has been at the center of various shifts in enterprise software. While at IBM Silicon Valley Lab, he worked in the mainframe market. Then he moved over to PeopleSoft, which was a pioneer of client-server platforms.
Yet he knew these technologies had major flaws. They were often rigid, clunky and complex. There was also the challenge of working with large amounts data, which was often spread across silos.
But when Peter saw the emergence of cloud computing, he knew this technology was the answer. So in 2003, he joined Salesforce.com as the VP of Technology. He got a first-row seat on how the cloud could scale and transform organizations.
As with any new technology megatrend, the first applications were broad. And yes, this presented some complications. This is why, in 2007, Peter launched Veeva Systems, which focused on providing cloud services for the healthcare industry. This became part of a new wave called the "industry cloud." The timing was spot on as Veeva saw strong adoption.
Fast forward to today: The company has a market cap of $16.5 billion and more than 600 life sciences customers. During the latest quarter, revenues jumped by 27% to $224.7 million and net income came to $64.1 million, up from $34.9 million in the same period a year ago.
This long-term thinking has certainly been critical for the success of Veeva, allowing for breakthrough innovations in the product line.
OK then, what about AI (Artificial Intelligence)? How will this be a part of Veeva's product roadmap?
This should be no surprise. Whenever technology undergoes seismic change, there is overinvestment. Eventually this leads to a shakeout, with consolidation and shutdowns.
Now as for AI, Peter believes that success requires a key ingredient: data. Without it, a startup will have an extremely difficult challenge in standing out from the competition.
But this is not an issue for Veeva. Consider that its platform includes 70% of healthcare sales reps across the globe.
However, Peter did not rush to build an app to leverage the data. He instead first built a solid data layer, called Nitro. The goal was to make it easy to organize and classify data (based on industry-specific standards). To develop Nitro, Peter used Amazon.com's Redshift as the core database. It is a petabyte-scale data warehouse service in the cloud. The bottom line: insights can be accessed much quicker (a traditional system could have lags of several weeks).
"It would have taken us much longer to build Nitro without Redshift," said Peter.
For the most part, AI is still in the early days. But Peter does not want to take any shortcuts. He understands that any technology takes awhile to get adoption and to make a real impact. The enterprise market also requires that things be done right – and that there be a clear-cut return on investment. And no doubt, such things can easily get lost when there is a gold rush among technology vendors.

Covid-19 cases in Europe spiked again in the second week of December 2021, after a period when the pandemic looked to be fading. On Christmas Eve, for example, the United Kingdom and France both topped the 100,000-case mark, while Italy and Spain each day surpassed 50,000 and 70,000 new cases.
The virus's fifth "wave" on the Old Continent is linked to the transmission of the omicron variant, which was first found in South Africa in November. Thankfully, omicron has been discovered to be less severe, particularly in persons who have had two or more vaccine doses.
Considering the top Brazilian players who have lately been infected with the Covid-19 virus and have been forced to miss some national championship matches. It's crucial to emphasize that they're all healthy and ready to help their respective clubs.
Brazilian players infected by Covid-19 in Europe
Six players from major European clubs have tested positive for Covid-19 in recent weeks. Discover who was involved, when they tested positive, number of games missed, and when they returned.
The Real Madrid left-back tested positive for Covid-19 on December 15. He was left out of Cádiz's (12/19) and Athletic Bilbao's (12/22) Spanish League matches. Although, on January 2nd, he was called up to the game against Getafe.
Daniel Alves
After testing positive for Covid-19 on December 28, Barcelona postponed the veteran right-back's debut. As a result, on January 2nd, he was ruled out of the Spanish League match against Mallorca. However, he was cleared three days later to play in the Copa del Rey match against Linares.
The Real Madrid attacker, who has been the team's standout performance this season, was struck with the virus on December 29th and missed the Spanish League and Copa del Rey matches against Getafe (2/1) and Alcoyano (5/1). He has, however, cleared to participate in the league match against Valencia on January 8th.
The Brazilian midfielder tested positive with the virus on December 30 and missed two games for Barcelona: the Spanish League match on January 2 against Mallorca and the Copa del Rey on January 5 against Linares.
Alisson and Roberto Firmino
A bunch of Liverpool players tested positive for Covid-19 on January 2. They were vetoed for matches against Chelsea (1/2), Arsenal (1/6) and Shrewsbury (1/09), respectively, in the Premier League, League Cup, and FA Cup. The return date is scheduled to take place on January 13th against Arsenal.
European clubs want to avoid another stoppage
European federations and clubs are doing everything they can to keep football alive on the continent, despite coach protests and spectator limitations. The attempt is driven by the possibility of losing billions of euros.
The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), the continent's leading football organization, reported in May 2021 that the pandemic had cost the continent's big teams €7.2 billion (R$45.6 billion).
The emergence of the new Covid-19 wave has been slowed by some European governments. Germany, for example, opted to reopen stadiums in December while barring fans from entering. Italy, like Spain, reduced the audience capacity to 75 percent. England, on the other hand, keeps announcing the maximum seating capacity of stadiums on a regular basis.
Firmino scores as Liverpool beat Tottenham 3-1 and return to winning ways in the Premier League
In a game largely influenced by VAR, Brazilian forward Firmino grabbed a goal as Liverpool returned to winning ways with a win against Tottenham.

Q: How to download sources from specific dependency in Gradle I am trying to know how to get gradle to download the source of a given dependency. All that I've searched has not work. I've seen the property DownloadSources. But I do not know where to write it in my Android gradle file.
I've tried to write it in different locations, inside dependencies {}, android { }, defaultConfig {}. But no luck. In a regular gradle file like this, where have I to use downloadsources?:
Project file
sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        //..
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        // ..
    }
}

Module file
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 22
    buildToolsVersion "22.0.0"

    defaultConfig {
        // ...
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            //....
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    // ...
    compile 'it.neokree:MaterialNavigationDrawer:latest.release'
}

Sorry if its a dummy question, but I can not find a solution.

A: You can set it for all dependencies. For idea use:
idea {
    module {
        downloadSources = true
    }
}

For Eclipse:
eclipse {
    classpath {
       downloadSources=true
    }
}

S&P 500 Sector SPDRs Preview - April 20th, 2019
S&P 500 SECTOR SPDRS PREVIEW - SPY XLK XLF XLV XLY XLI XLP XLE XLB XLU
In financial markets, there are certain price levels that are more significant than others with regards to the amount of supply and demand that exists at them.
In financial markets, prices are always doing one of three things. They are either going up, going down, or staying the same.
BHT utilizes a process and methodology that has been developed over twenty years in order to identify these levels and price trends.
BHT does not utilize many of the traditional Technical Analysis Techniques such as Gann Theory, Harmonic Patterns, or Elliot Waves.
BHT questions and doubts the validity of many of these techniques and believes they are in the realm of Bigfoot and UFOs.
BHT utilizes Technical Analysis to identify meaningful trends and important supply and demand levels in the financial markets. The following are important dynamics to consider in the S&P 500 Economic Sector SPDRs:
S&P 500 SECTOR SPDRs PREVIEW - APRIL 20TH, 2019 PDF
S&P 500 – The SPYs are overbought and near levels that were resistance in the past. There will probably be resistance around the $293 level because it is where the top was in September and October.
S&P 500 18 Months – The SPYs are overbought and near levels that were resistance in the past. There will probably be resistance around the $293 level because it is where the top was in September and October. If they head lower there will probably be support around $280. The $280 level is important because it was resistance during last March, June, and again from October through December. It was also support throughout last July.
Technology – The XLKs broke the resistance around $76. There was resistance around this level because this is where the highs were from last August through October. It will now probably be a short-term support level. It will be important over the next few days to see if this level holds. If not it could be a sign that the broader markets are about to trend lower. If they head lower there will probably be support around the $71 level because it was the top of the recent range.
Financials – The XLFs are trading above the important $27 level. They are slightly overbought. The levels between $27 and $27.50 have been the top of the range since November. It will be important over the next few days to see if this level holds. If not it could be a sign that the broader markets are about to trend lower.
Healthcare – The XLVs have been in a free-fall over the past two weeks. They are very oversold and at levels that may be support so there could be a rally soon. There may be support around $86.50 because it was the top in March and the bottom in October of 2018.
Consumer Discretionary – The XLYs broke the resistance around the October highs. The levels around $118 should now become short-term support. They are very overbought so there will probably be some consolidation or profit-taking. If they head lower there will probably be support around $111 because it was a resistance level from early December through March.
Industrials – The XLIs gapped up but are overbought. Longer-term, there may be resistance around the $80 level because it is where the highs were in January and September of 2018. There may be support again around $71 because it is where the lows were in late 2017 and the first half of 2018.
Consumer Staples – The XLPs are testing resistance around the levels that were the highs at the end of last year. They are very overbought so expect some consolidation or profit-taking. They found support around the $50 level during the selloff at the end of December. This level was the low in 2016, and the top of the range throughout 2015.
Consumer Staples Long-term – The XLPs recently found support again around the very important $50 level ($49 was where the lows were). This level was the low in 2016, and the top of the range throughout 2015. It was also where the lows were during this past May.
Energy – The XLEs seem to have broken the resistance around the $66.50 level. This level had been resistance for the past two months. There is resistance around this level because it was support in early 2018. It will probably be a support level again now.
Energy Long-term – The XLEs seem to have broken the resistance around the $66.50 level. There was resistance there because it was support a year ago. It will probably be a support level again. The $78 level is important long-term resistance. The levels around $55 are important long-term support.
Materials – The XLBs are testing resistance around the $58 level. This level was the bottom of the range from last June through September. They are very overbought. The last two times that they were this overbought, in September and February, a selloff followed. If they head lower there will probably be support around the $56 level because it was the top from September through February.
Utilities – The XLUs broke their recent uptrend after becoming overbought. They continue to consolidate. There is support around the $57 level because this is where the highs were in December. In September and then again in late December and early January they found support around the $52 level.

This past weekend in New York City it felt like spring… the sun was shining, people were out and I was super motivated! My friend Stephanie was in town visiting and we took full advantage of the weather! Walking along the Brooklyn Promenade over the Brooklyn Bridge to Manhattan (picking up our friend Lindsey) and walking back to Brooklyn…. ALL with dog in tow!

This is an older photo taken last year when I went to visit a friend in DC…. Cherry Blossoms were in full bloom and so were my allergies… but none the less still pretty!
It's warm outside, people are smiling (even in New York City!) and the snow is all but a distant memory (as in last week).
Spring is in the air and so is alot of GREEN.
Happy St. Patricks Day and Happy Birthday Kido!
So being back at work after a vacation is possibly the worst thing ever… Especially when you were so active on the vacation that you didn't really "vacation" so to speak. With that… my VAILcation was great… amazing snowboarding, quality snow, bluebird skies and amazing company!
Beautiful, warm and the slopes = heaven!

New Endeavor Joins Emmetsburg Business Community
by Anesa McGregor , Emmetsburg News
Dj Brew opened its doors for business at 2104 Broadwayon Monday, Dec. 12 to a large crowd even though the weather was cold.
"It went really well. I was really happy especially as cold as it was," noted owner Liz Hoppe. "I was kind of worried about that but it went really well. We learned some things and made a few adjustments but overall I think it went really well."
According to Hoppe, there has been a lot of positive feedback from the community with a wide variety of people coming in.

OPEN FOR BUSINESS – Liz and Collin Hoppe, owners of the Déjà Brew Coffee House have been pleased with the reception and business from the community of Emmetsburg and surrounding areas and would like to thank everyone for the support they have received. With several different flavors to choose from, they are sure to have one that suits your style. -- Anesa McGregor photo
"I think that a coffee bar is something that Emmetsburg has needed for years and I'm surprised that no one has done it yet to be honest," Hoppe said. "So with the grant competition, it was really the right time for Collin and I. We don't have any kids yet so it was the perfect time for us."
Dj Brew serves freshly made muffins, scones and bagels as well as soups and sandwiches for lunch.
"I'm playing around with a variety of ideas. We've had breakfast cake, sugar cookies and energy bites," Hoppe said. "I'm trying to get an idea of what people want and like."
"If there is something that we don't have that people are wanting, I hope that they will suggest it," Hoppe said. "We can't do everything, but suggestions are welcome and helpful."
Dj Brew is open Monday through Friday 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturdays 7 a.m. to 4 a.m.

Q: Grouping By bool produces wrong result I am trying to visualize data from database in charts using LiveCharts library. I have managed to get some of them working fine. However I am having hard times with PieCharts. I want to simply display data in two slices. For that matter I have column in DB with name AppIsRunning.
I have made a simple example that is working fine and displaying data in slices as expected:
  List<DataModel> records = new List<DataModel>();

  records.Add(new DataModel { Id = 1, Revenue = 43, Name = "Item 1", AppIsRunning = true });
  records.Add(new DataModel { Id = 2, Revenue = 23, Name = "Item 2", AppIsRunning = true });
  records.Add(new DataModel { Id = 3, Revenue = 13, Name = "Item 3", AppIsRunning = true });
  records.Add(new DataModel { Id = 4, Revenue = 87, Name = "Item 4", AppIsRunning = true });
  records.Add(new DataModel { Id = 5, Revenue = 23, Name = "Item 5", AppIsRunning = true });

  IEnumerable<ISeries> result1 = records.Select(x =>
    new PieSeries<double>
    {
      Values = new List<double> { x.Revenue },
      Name = x.Name,
    });

Now I would like to group data to display only 2 slices AppIsRunning true/false and for Values have Revenue. So I have ended up with this code:
  List<DataModel> records = new List<DataModel>();

  records.Add(new DataModel { Id = 1, Revenue = 43, Name = "Item 1", AppIsRunning = true });
  records.Add(new DataModel { Id = 2, Revenue = 23, Name = "Item 2", AppIsRunning = true });
  records.Add(new DataModel { Id = 3, Revenue = 13, Name = "Item 3", AppIsRunning = false });
  records.Add(new DataModel { Id = 4, Revenue = 87, Name = "Item 4", AppIsRunning = true });
  records.Add(new DataModel { Id = 5, Revenue = 23, Name = "Item 5", AppIsRunning = true });

  IEnumerable<ISeries> result1 = records
        .GroupBy(g => g.AppIsRunning)
        .Select(item => new PieSeries<double>
        {
          Values = item.Select(x => Convert.ToDouble(x.Revenue)),
          Name = item.Key ? "Running" : "Not running",
        });

However this makes AppIsRunning true section divided into 4 sub-slices = 4 AppIsRunning TRUE values. Please see screenshot with 4 sub-sections in blue slice:

My question is how to get rid of these 4 sub-sections and group that data into one? I need only 2 slices, no need to divide slices into sub-sections.
Here is original example from LiveCharts:
  this.ActivityChartSeries = new ISeries[]
  {
    new PieSeries<double> { Values = new double[] { 2 }, Name = "Section 1"},
    new PieSeries<double> { Values = new double[] { 21 }, Name = "Section 2"},
    new PieSeries<double> { Values = new double[] { 28 }, Name = "Section 3"},
    new PieSeries<double> { Values = new double[] { 2 }, Name = "Section 4"},
    new PieSeries<double> { Values = new double[] { 52 }, Name = "Section 5"},
  };

https://github.com/beto-rodriguez/LiveCharts2/blob/master/samples/ViewModelsSamples/Pies/Basic/ViewModel.cs

A: Judging from the example, you want to see a breakdown of total (sum of) revenue as a single value for each status. To do that, you could do:
IEnumerable<ISeries> result1 = records
    .GroupBy(g => g.AppIsRunning)
    .Select(item => new PieSeries<double>
    {
      Values = new List<double> {item.Sum(x => Convert.ToDouble(x.Revenue))},
      Name = item.Key ? "Running" : "Not running",
    });


The "Jobs Calendar" is the first view that a scheduler will see when they open the scheduling console; it is the default view. It provides schedulers with a way to visualize their scheduled jobs at a high-level, e.g., jobs per week or a full calendar month.
The monthly calendar view shows a complete month, divided by days of the week. Color-coded job cards contain labels to highlight their current job status.
Figure 1. The monthly jobs calendar view in the scheduling console.
The weekly calendar view shows a complete seven day week (Sunday to Saturday), also divided by days. Crucially, it differs from the month view having each day subdivided by hours and minutes. This means jobs can be allocated to a date and time in a single movement (see "Moving Jobs in the Jobs Calendar").
Figure 2. The weekly jobs calendar view.
The date picker–use this to select a target month from the calendar.
The date switcher–zoom to "Today," or step forward or backward one month at a time.
The view options–choose from the available options to increase or decrease the visible time span (e.g., one month or one week).
Figure 3. The calendar controls, date picker, date switcher and view options are located in the action bar, above the calendar.
Also, see Job Status and Job Allocation Status.
Public holidays are marked with a small dot in the top-right corner and are shaded gray. The name of the public holiday is shown in a tooltip on mouseover.
Figure 4. Highlighted holidays in the jobs calendar.
To create a new job in the jobs calendar, right-click on a day and select "Create Job." The create job modal will open with the "Start Date" field pre-populated. Complete all the required fields highlighted red and then click "Save."
Figure 5. How to create a job in the jobs calendar.
Figure 6. Filling in the details on the create job modal.
Note: Creating a new job on a specific day in the calendar will pre-populate the "Start Date" for the job but not the end date, start or end times. All these dates and times must be specified to save the job.
In the scheduling console, it is possible to drag-and-drop job cards from the job list onto the calendar whereafter the time and duration are set.
It is also possible to drag-and-drop job cards onto the calendar using the "Quick Create Job" feature. Once the card is dropped into place, the scheduler can allocate times via the "Select time range" pop-up.
Note: Dragging job cards onto the calendar does not assign any resources to the job, this must be done separately.
Also, see Quick Create Job and Create Job.
Figure 7. How to drag a job from the jobs list to the jobs calendar.
Figure 8. How to drag a quick job onto the jobs calendar.
Figure 9. Allocating times to a quick job placed on the jobs calendar.
Schedulers can drag-and-drop job cards between dates in both the month and week calendar views.
Figure 10. Drag-and-dropping a job card in the jobs calendar.
Important! Currently, there is no validation applied to job cards that are dragged between dates in the jobs calendar. Care should be taken to ensure that applied job constraints are not overlooked.
A summary of the job details accompanies each job in the calendar. To view the summary, left-click on a job card.
Figure 11. Viewing the job details summary for a job in the jobs calendar.
In the monthly calendar view, only four job cards can be displayed per day. When more than six jobs exist on the same day, the sixth card indicates there are more jobs available, e.g., a card displaying "+2 JOBS" indicates the card is shared by two jobs (they are stacked together to save space).
In the weekly calendar view, where two or more jobs are allocated on the same day, at the same time, they are stacked or clustered–represented by a small black and white counter, e.g., a card displaying the black label with a white "2" indicates the time and date are shared by two jobs (they are stacked together to save space). Using a mouse, roll over the counter to reveal the stacked job cards and their details.
To view a job's full details, click on the job number on the job card–this will open the job details view. To view the time allocated for a job, using a mouse, roll-over the job card and a tool-tip will show the start and end times.
To view jobs that are long in duration (i.e., extend over two days or more), using a mouse, roll-over the job card in the calendar. The job card will expand to show the actual dates covered by the job.
Figure 12. An example showing multiple jobs sharing the same job cluster or stack.
Figure 13. Two jobs sharing the same date and time in the weekly jobs calendar.
Figure 14. How to view the time allocation for a job in the jobs calendar.
Figure 15. Viewing a long duration job in the jobs calendar.
To unschedule or cancel a job in the calendar, right-click on a job card and select the required action from the menu options.
Figure 16. How to unschedule or cancel a job in the jobs calendar.
Show all jobs assigned to a resource.
Show all jobs pending that have a high urgency.
Show all jobs with a job status of "Pending Allocation."
Show only the jobs that are associated with a certain account.
There are many more combinations of filters that can be applied; these are all available in the filter bar.
