Despite Typhoon Mario shutting down the National Capital Region on September 19, 2014 with heavy rains and flooded streets, hundreds from Manila and nearby provinces were able to make it to the Members Church of God International (MCGI) Headquarters in Pampanga safely — to get baptized.
Over 900 new members were baptized at the ADD Convention Center in Pampanga, a province north of the capital Manila, during the Mass Baptism of MCGI.
But including those from Southern Philippines to South and Latin America, this Mass Baptism saw a total of 1,595 new members.
This event came two weeks after MCGI Leaders Bro. Eliseo Soriano and Bro. Daniel Razon started the Mass Indoctrination sessions on September 8, 2014.
"I really felt that this is the path that I should tread," remarked 33-year-old Sister Rubilyn Dungca when asked why she went on with the baptism in spite of the storm.
Sister Rubilyn said that from the start of her listening to Bible Expositions, to the indoctrination sessions, she had already wanted to become a member. "There's no typhoon that can stop what I want, what my heart wants," she added.
Fung Wong, called Mario in Manila, was able to deliver half a month of usual rain's equivalent in just six hours, causing floods and rendering many roads impassable. However for Bro. Joel Embudo, 38 years old from Manila, a storm would not be a hindrance.

The Los Angeles Lakers made official, what had been speculated for days, signing free agent centre Tyson Chandler on Tuesday.
While the team did not announce details of Chandler's contract, ESPN reported the deal will pay Chandler $2,109,867 and the Lakers will take on a cap hit of $1,333,140.
Chandler agreed to take $2.1 million off his $13.6 million salary to secure a buyout from the Phoenix Suns last weekend.
Chandler, 36, is in his 18th season and was in the final year of a four-year contract with Phoenix.
The 7-foot-1 veteran averaged 3.7 points and 5.6 rebounds in seven games for the Suns this season.
Chandler, a Southern California native, has career averages of 8.6 points and 9.3 rebounds in 1,086 games with the Chicago Bulls (2001-06), New Orleans Hornets (2006-09), Charlotte Bobcats (2009-10), Dallas Mavericks (2010-11, 2014-15) New York Knicks (2011-14) and Phoenix (2015-18).


McNally Gervan is one of Ottawa's leading law firms in handling serious injury claims arising from car accidents.
Every year nearly 50,000 drivers and passengers in Ontario suffer injuries in car accidents. Even though cars keep getting safer, hundreds of people die in car accidents each year in Ontario and thousands more suffer serious injuries that change their lives and the lives of their family members forever. Drivers, passengers and pedestrians who are involved in car accidents frequently suffer serious injuries including brain injuries or concussions, spinal cord injuries, fractures, and torn ligaments. The pain and suffering caused by injuries like these often leads to serious financial and other problems, including psychological problems such as anxiety and depression. Serious injuries frequently cause other serious problems.
Anyone facing serious injuries from a car accident needs an experienced lawyer to help navigate the complex insurance system in Ontario. Lawyers who practice in this area need to understand the relationships between claims against an at-fault driver and various types of benefits that may be available from someone's own auto insurer, a long term disability insurer, the Canada Pension Plan or the Ontario Disability Support Plan. None of this is simple, and it is often overwhelming to anyone facing a serious injury and a long period of rehabilitation.
A tort claim is a claim for financial compensation arising from an injury. In car accident cases, the tort claim is the claim against the at-fault driver or drivers responsible for the accident. Tort claims arising from car accidents in Ontario include claims for financial compensation for pain and suffering, lost income, health care expenses and out-of-pocket expenses like housekeeping costs.
Accident Benefits are available to car accident victims regardless of fault and are sometimes referred to as "no-fault benefits". For accidents after June 2016 accident benefits include up to $65,000 in medical and rehabilitation and attendant care benefits, and up to $400 per week in income replacement benefits (sometimes more if additional coverage was purchased).
There are also other benefits that may be available to people who have suffered catastrophic injuries and impairments. It is important to have a personal injury lawyer who will identify the benefits you are entitled to and will stand up to your insurance company if those benefits are improperly denied. To learn more about Statutory Accident Benefits, click here.
The lawyers at McNally Gervan LLP understand the system and are here to help accident victims get the support they need and the compensation they deserve. They are experienced in dealing with insurance companies and their lawyers, and will fight for fair compensation for injured accident victims and their families.

Economic historians aim to understand roots of South Africa's inequality
In a unique project, researchers from Lund University in Sweden, together with universities in South Africa, the Netherlands and the USA, will for the first time systematise large amounts of historical data from the Dutch East India Company's colonisation of South Africa. Their aim: to find out when and how colonial processes arose, and how they may have continued to impact young nations up to modern times.
"Most people assume that South African society is unequal because of colonialism. But we want to know what factors gave rise to this unequal distribution and why it persisted for so long," says researcher Erik Green. Photo: Gregory Fullard/Unsplash
"From the 1500s to the 1700s, Europe colonised large parts of the world. Several researchers believe that this impacted economic development in these regions in ways that are still evident today. However, these theories are rarely underpinned by systematic empirical studies. In recent years, most researchers agree that this can give rise to some problematic assumptions. We need to review the data over a long period of time to be able to generate more credible hypotheses," says Erik Green, associate professor of Economic History at Lund University School of Economics and Management (LUSEM) in Sweden.
Erik Green is leading the international research team that hopes to create the most complete database ever of South Africa's colonial economy. The project has SEK 30 million in funding for six years from the Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation (Riksbankens jubileumsfond). Erik Green and his colleagues will study the social and economic development of South Africa from the establishment of the Cape Colony in 1652 until 1840.
"The material spans the establishment of the colony formally, from day one, and over 150 years onward. This will enable us to visualise the structures and links between various variables. Currently, most people assume that South African society is unequal because of colonialism. But that is too simplistic. We want to know what factors gave rise to this unequal distribution and why it persisted for so long," says Erik Green.
The researchers will be using three unique databases: the Cape of Good Hope Panel dataset, a registry of South African Families and the Slave Emancipation dataset. The databases have been partially transcribed but require more work.
"This project requires a large group of experts in different fields. We need everyone from people with knowledge of the Dutch language as it was spoken in the 1700s and people familiar with the broad theoretical debates, to people who are true experts on the history of the Cape Colony. We also have experts on specific statistical methods and machine learning," says Johan Fourie, professor of Economics and History at Stellenbosch University in South Africa.
With the databases in place, it will be possible to study the colony and its population (settlers, slaves and indigenous population) at the individual level. This brings a unique opportunity to analyse how a colonial economy and its institutions gradually develop and are affected by – and affect – people's behaviour and living conditions.
"It was not Holland as a nation that founded the colony, but the Dutch East India Company. In other words, it was run as an enterprise. Because of that, they had better incentives to produce more detailed reports," says Johan Fourie. "That gives us detailed insight into the workings of a colonial economy and society, and allows us to test our general theories of development against real-world evidence."
The big aim of the project is to be able to contribute to what we know about economic and social development, institutions and colonialism.
"The databases are unique in that they cover such a long period of time. They are also unique in being so rich in detail and may even have a slight edge over Swedish historical data, which is usually considered to be very good. There is a preconception about not being able to study Africa because historical data is lacking in many cases. Here we have an exception, where we can probably build one of the world's most detailed databases," Erik Green concludes.

A Christians-solely well being care ministry should stop operations in Kentucky except it may well get regulatory approval from the state Division of Insurance coverage, a choose dominated this week. As somebody who's self-employed, healthcare sharing ministries have been actually the one choice that made sense for us. While it isn't insurance coverage, it does help us plan for unforseen medical prices. Bigger things would go on a credit card or a CareCredit healthcare plan and then I might pay it off when shares come in. But round right here cost plans are frequent. A direct-bill cost plan is also utilized, which can enable members to unfold out payments over a 3-12 month period.
Technically, MediShare is NOT medical insurance, at the very least not in the conventional sense. Aware of their distinctive place within the well being care landscape, these ministries continue to think about tips on how to defend themselves from meddling laws, and that includes a strong public relations effort. If an applicant is overweight, they are going to pay an extra monthly payment to obtain help from a health coach.
And because health care sharing ministries received an exemption underneath President Barack Obama's well being care legislation, members are exempt from the tax penalty for not having conventional insurance coverage. This is how medical health insurance should be. Let me have an incentive to take care of my well being and affiliate with different those who do the identical. Earlier than becoming a member of, I contacted several different healthcare sharing ministries (not simply 3 you listed), and they'll settle for many forms of Christians.
It's my healthcare plan being unwilling to help me with bills, the bills they instructed you from the very start might not be shared. The joint funds pay the medical bills for that month. Some ministries require monthly funds to a centralized administrator, who then pays out to needy members, whereas others ask members to send their month-to-month funds directly to these in need, and infrequently they achieve this with prayers connected.
No such legal switch of danger occurs with health care sharing plans.
When I saw the flurry of stories stories in late 2017 about healthcare insurance decisions, I thought possibly I'd be a bit late in running a blog now concerning the wise various: Christian health cost sharing plans. Medi-Share is an organized well being care sharing ministry where members voluntarily share medical costs. We would still obtain newsletters and sharing via a US handle that would be forwarded to us month-to-month in order that we stay replace. The healthshare supplier payments you for the amount you owe. No. Even should you're a Christian, you would possibly wish to take into account purchasing customary medical health insurance.
In late 2009, there was a provision within the well being care reform invoice to provide Christian Science treatments some parity with clinical medicine as substitute or supplemental remedies. Kevin Knauss supplies no price medical health insurance fee quotes and enrollment. Typically that is completed by a degree month-to-month contribution to the sponsoring organization, other instances participants are requested to write a examine instantly to another member to cowl their medical bills.
Liberty HealthShare, based mostly in Canton, Ohio, is the sharing portion of Gospel Light Mennonite Church Medical Aid Plan, which has been serving to the needy since 1995. As far as I can inform, there is no such thing as Christian medical insurance. An SPN is an unpublishable need (or the unpublishable portion of a need) that's communicated to the members on the share slip with a request for donations to help with paying the unpublishable payments.
This value-sharing ministry can also be thought-about a viable alternative to medical insurance under the Reasonably priced Care Act also referred to as Obamacare. They're a 501(c)three group with the identical maximum share obligations as Solidarity Healthcare. Refusing to expand Medicaid and threatening to place susceptible people into high-danger insurance coverage swimming pools are mistaken for my part because Christianity calls on us to take care of the weakest and neediest people.
I extremely suggest that you take into account the usual alternatives to health care insurance. Medi-Share is an organized well being care sharing ministry where members voluntarily share medical prices.

Q: How do I call a method from an imported class in Objective C? I have some code which fetches an XML file from a URL and then parses it using NSXMLParser.  Currently this code is contained within the viewController which calls it.  I would like, for re-usability sake, to move the parsing code to an external class and call it from the viewController.
I tried to achieve this as follows:
Created a blank NSObject class file, put the parsing code into the .h and .m files, then used an #import statement in my viewController.m file and an @Class statement in the viewController.h file so I could call the methods from within the viewController class.
I'm not sure how to proceed or whether I'm approaching this the wrong way, please advise.

I instantiate the external class with the following line in the @interface of my viewController
XMLParser *xmlParser;

In viewDidLoad for my viewController class I call a method I have written in XMLParser.m.  The call is performed as follows:
[xmlParser fetchXML];

The problem is that when I compile I get the following warning:
'XMLParser' may not respond to '-fetchXML'

When the view loads at runtime the method isn't called, or it's called but doesn't run

A: You should have a file called XMLParser.h that includes something like:
@interface XMLParser : NSObject
{
    ...
}
- (void)fetchXML;

Then in viewController.m, there should be:
#import "XMLParser.h"

I would suspect you're missing one of these steps.

Q: Does multithreading increase CPU time? I am trying to learn about concurrency and to do so I have been writing some programs. I have noticed, as I expected, that wall time does generally decrease when adding threads. However, I have also noticed that CPU time increases as the number of parallel tasks I run increases.
Is it because when there's only a single thread the compiler behind the scenes optimizes the code so to use more than one core (if possible)? This is the only explanation I came up with. Can anyone help me?
EDIT: the machine I use has multiple cores (4 to be precise)

A: The CPU time is the time CPU spends executing instructions. This does not include wait times for I/O. If you have a single processor/core, then the wall time is CPU time plus I/O time.
For multiple cores, CPU time is measured as the total CPU time for all cores. So if you have a program with multiple threads, and if those threads are scheduled on multiple cores, the CPU time will increase, but wall time may decrease. If you have a multi-threaded program that relies on CPU and doesn't to I/O, then the CPU time will be close to wall time * number of cores.

A: Imagine you were trying to do two things, one at a time. You'd be pretty relaxed as you were doing each thing. But it would take you awhile.
Now imagine that you're trying to do two things at the same time. Presumably, it would take you less total time because sometimes you could make forward progress on both things and sometimes when you were stuck on one you could work on the other and vice versa. But your total effort would probably be greater as you spent more time moving between tasks.
The same is true of your CPU.
Of course using multiple threads will make some things faster than doing things purely sequentially. If not, we wouldn't get much benefit from them at all. But sometimes the threads waste time fighting over who gets to adjust the process' memory table or one uses memory bandwidth that slows the other down.
It's quite typical to see multi-threading reduce the real time it takes to finish a set of tasks but increase the total resource utilization required.

                            boton[aleatorio].setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
                        }
                    });
                }
            }
        }).start();
        return null;
    }
}

El código anterior, estaría dentro de otra clase
("boton", es un array de Button y el 28 de aleatorio es por el tamaño de dicho array).
El problema que tengo es que me cambia de color sólo a amarillo, luego para medio segundo y pone otro botón en amarillo, sin volver a poner el último cambiado en blanco. El resultado es que todos acaban en amarillo sin pasar por el blanco.
¿Puede ser problema del Thread.sleep() en conjunción con los dos runOnUiThread()?

A: No te recomiendo que lances un Thread dentro de doInBackground de un Asynktask y dentro de ese Thread más Threads.

Es muy sencillo, tengo en la pantalla una tabla con botones. Intento
  que, aleatoriamente, uno cambie de color y tras medio segundo, vuelva
  al color original, para que al momento se vuelva a encender otro.

Para esto intenta implementar una solución parecida a esta:
No uses tu Asynktask para esto y dónde llamabas tu Asynktask, llama directamente al método que pinte el botón de amarillo.
public void paintYellow(Button button){
    //...
    button.setBackgroundColor(Color.YELLOW);
    new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            paintWhite(Button button);
        }
    }, 500); // 500 ms = 0.5 segundos
}

private void paintWhite(Button button){
    runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            button.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
        }
    });
}

DSU to host final 38+2 Ride on Wednesday
Riders with the 38+2 Memorial Ride will be coming to Madison on Wednesday.
This year may be one of the biggest rides, with a group from Montana joining the group, but it will also be the last ride. Josette Peltier, Spiritual Leader of the Dakota 38+2 Memorial Ride, said the leaders are retiring at the end of this ride.
The annual 330-mile horseback ride began in 2005 to honor and remember 40 Dakota warriors who were hung in Mankato, Minnesota after the Dakota War of 1862. Thirty-eight were hung on December 26th,1862; two more were hung in early 1863. This is the largest mass hanging ever recorded in America.
To raise awareness of the impact of this event, dozens of riders left Lower Brule, South Dakota on December 10th, and will travel to Mankato for the December 26th anniversary. The riders arrive in Madison on December 14th each year.
The Madison Ministerial Association is hosting the group for lunch at Prostrollo's on Wednesday. Dakota State will again host the evening meal at the Trojan Center, with assistance from the Native American Student Association and MAST (Madison Area Stands Together). Dakota State and the city of Madison provide them with overnight lodging.
The community can also donate supplies for the riders, including scarves, gloves, stocking caps, hand warmers, blankets, or non-perishable food including protein bars, trail mix, crackers and cheese. These may be dropped off at the DSU Entrepreneurial Building, 1400 North Washington Avenue between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. through Tuesday.
The campus and area communities are invited to attend the evening meal on the Dakota State campus at 6:00 p.m. The meal will cost $12 for community members. There will also be a program featuring a drum circle and a gifting ceremony.

Ukraine government reshuffle brings in officials tied to US and ruling oligarchy
Clara Weiss, Jason Melanovski
On Wednesday, March 4, the entire Ukrainian government was dismissed after the parliament (Verkhovna Rada) voted overwhelmingly to accept the resignation submitted by Prime Minister Oleksiy Honcharuk earlier this week. Shortly thereafter, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky fired Honcharuk's entire cabinet. A day later, on March 5, the Verkhovna Rada passed a vote of no-confidence in the state prosecutor general, Ruslan Ryaboshapka.
Honcharuk is leaving after just six months in office, the shortest tenure of any Ukrainian prime minister in history. He is replaced by Denys Shmyhal who previously served as Deputy Prime Minister. From 2017 to 2019, Shmyhal worked as an executive at an energy firm owned by Ukraine's wealthiest billionaire oligarch, Rinat Akhmetov. Shmyhal also has close ties to former President Petro Poroshenko.
Honcharuk had previously offered his resignation to President Zelensky in January after recorded conversations were leaked of Honcharuk stating that Zelensky had a "primitive" view of economics. Zelensky's rejected that resignation offer, however, claiming the prime minster had "more work to do" for the people of Ukraine. Shortly thereafter, Zelensky reshuffled his personal staff.
In a speech on Wednesday before the Verhovna Rada, Zelensky sharply denounced the previous government, blaming it for the ongoing contraction in the industrial sector, the lack of medical and pension reforms, and the fact that miners have gone without salaries for months.
In a demagogic appeal to nationalist and far-right forces, he also denounced the government for allowing foreigners to take over Ukrainian company boards, stating, "With all respect to our international partners and with all appreciation for their help, the citizens of our country on governing boards of our companies are feeling like an ethnic minority."
The composition of the new government indicates that a major motivation for the government reshuffle was to appease the increasingly heated inner-oligarchic infighting. In recent months, Zelensky, a former popular TV figure and comedian with no prior political experience, has faced significant opposition from elements in the oligarchy and state apparatus that were hostile to his attempts to find a negotiated settlement with Russia over East Ukraine.
More than his predecessor Poroshenko, Zelensky has oriented his foreign policy toward a close collaboration with German and French imperialism. Last fall, thousands of far-right elements demonstrated against his government with the open backing of Poroshenko.
Several of the ministers now appointed have previously served under presidents Petro Poroshenko, Yulia Tymoshenko and Viktor Yushchenko. All these three administrations insisted on the closest possible ties with US imperialism. They supported and were brought to power through pro-Western protest movements that were heavily funded and backed by the US.
The new foreign minister, Dmitry Kuleb, began his career under Poroshenko. In a recent interview, he stated, "In the long-term, I am for some kind of normalization of relations with Russia, but …Russia must pay a price for its aggression." He insisted that Russia had to return Crimea "no matter how much time it will take."
The new defense minister, Andrey Taran, studied at the National Defense University in Washington, which is directly funded by the US Department of Defense, in the mid-1990s. He was a high-ranking general in the Ukrainian army in the first two years of the civil war in East Ukraine until his retirement due to age in 2016.
The new finance minister is Igor Umansky, who earlier served as a high-ranking official in the finance ministry under both Tymoshenko and Poroshenko. He was an advisor to Poroshenko in 2016-2019. The new minister for the occupied territories (the separatist-controlled parts of Eastern Ukraine) is Alexei Reznikov, who was part of the delegation negotiating the Minsk agreement in 2016 under Poroshenko.
Tellingly, only Arsen Avakov, Ukraine's Interior Minister, was able to keep his position in the new Cabinet of Ministers that was approved by Ukraine's parliament Wednesday. Avakov served in the same position during the right-wing regime of former President Poroshenko. He has close ties to Washington and controls the country's national police force and possesses well-known ties to Ukraine's most notorious neo-Nazi militia, the Azov Battalion. A number of posts in the new government, including that of the energy minister, remain to be assigned.
Prime Minister Denis Shmygal declared that the priorities of the new cabinet would be to strengthen "national defense", resolve the conflict in the Donbass and have Crimea, the peninsula annexed by Russia in early 2014, returned to Ukraine. He also stated that the government would focus on improving the "investment climate" in the country, a barely veiled announcement of a continuation of the aggressive push for austerity.
The government reshuffle comes amid an enormous social and political crisis in Ukraine. In February, polls revealed that for first time since his election in April of last year that Zelensky's own approval ratings, which at their height stood at over 70 percent, have now fallen below 50 percent. Honcharuk's cabinet was supported by just 6 percent of Ukrainians.
The country is still embroiled in a six-year long civil war in eastern Ukraine that has claimed the lives of 14,000, displaced 1.4 million and left 3.5 million in need of humanitarian assistance. Over 60 percent of the population live below the subsistence minimum.
With the firing of the cabinet and Honcharuk, Zelensky seeks to both deflect popular anger and rally the forces of the Ukrainian oligarchy for a massive assault on the living standards of the Ukrainian working class. While many ministers in the former government were very young and considered inexperienced, now most of the government consists of established figures of the Ukrainian state and oligarchy with close ties to US imperialism.
Last fall, Zelensky announced the most far-reaching privatization plan in the country since the restoration of capitalism in the early 1990s. Honcharuk had been in charge of leading the privatization, and one of his decisions in office this week was to approve the transferring of a "record" 431 state-owned enterprises to a state property fund for privatization. While announcing the privatization, Honcharuk bragged that his government had sent 961 state-owned enterprises on the road to privatization "ten times higher than in the previous ten years."
The privatization drive has also incorporated the shutting down of Ukraine's remaining coal mines, most of which are located in eastern Ukraine. The coal mines, which have long been a center of working class opposition to the government, are highly dangerous and miners often toil for weeks or months without pay. A recent proposed government planning document suggested that only 14 of Ukraine's current 33 state-owned mines will remain in operation once the unprofitable mines are closed for good. In December 2019, miners went on a nationwide walkout for one day to protest the withholding of their salaries for months on end.
In addition to the privatizations of mines and companies, the government also seeks to end a moratorium on private land sales. This would allow Ukrainian farmland to be sold to both domestic and foreign real estate speculators, including its prized black earth soil. A recent poll demonstrated that over 73 percent of the Ukrainian population were completely opposed to the land reform bill.

Surprisingly strong start for UK tech M&A in first half of 2022
Home » News » Surprisingly strong start for UK tech M&A in first half of 2022
Despite stronger headwinds, as inflation and interest rates rise, the impact on deals has been modest compared to 2021 – a record year for UK Tech M&A – says ICON Corporate Finance.
In its Mid-Year UK Technology M&A Snapshot 2022, ICON reports:
There were 501 UK tech deals announced in 1H 2022; 6% lower than last year, but 6% higher than 2019 (pre COVID)
Deal volumes in Q2 were actually higher than Q1 (pre-Ukraine invasion), suggesting little evidence of any slowdown
Valuations remain punchy at just 8% lower than last year
This comes despite the fact that shares have fallen:
NASDAQ and UK Tech shares are down 30% YTD
Loss making hyper-growth businesses have been hit particularly hard
The blow has been softened by a combination of the significant weakness in sterling (which attracts foreign buyers) and the fact that PE raised over $1tn last year, so there is still plenty of cash around.
Brian Parker, head of M&A at ICON, says: "We remain cautiously optimistic about Tech M&A, and that is backed up by the fact that we have a healthy deal pipeline. At ICON, it's very much business as usual in 2022".
Valuations in UK tech M&A have seen falls. The median valuation IT sector M&A has dropped from 2.5x to 2.3x, a fall of 8%. Across the IT and communications sector valuations were hugely varied, ranging from only 1x revenues for Trustmarque (a disposal by Capita), to a massive 14x revenues for Ideagen.
Cross border deals continue to drive the sector this year, influenced by the weakness of sterling; UK-Tech companies represent good value. So far in 2022, 42% of deals have involved overseas acquirers.
PE/VC-backed 'Buy and Build' deals accounted for 50% of all deals in 2021. Although lower in 2022, at 30% there remains a lot of unspent PE cash.
The sale of Ideagen to Hg in a £1.1bn deal achieved one of the highest valuations but the sale of UK-listed EMIS for 7x revenues was also punchy. Interestingly, there were also quite a few restructuring deals including the sale of parts of Capita (Trustmarque); part of Sungard; and the sale of a division of Datatec, called Analysis Mason.
Access Group continues to be the most active buyer, acquiring six companies this year after its acquisition of eight in 2021. Having just raised £1bn to fund deals we expect a lot more of the same.
Digitisation continues to drive revenue growth in sectors like cyber, compliance, HR, health, education, and comms. ICON also sees ongoing activity in cloud services and MSPs as businesses continue to migrate to the Cloud.
The best performing UK-listed Techs are a mix of solid performers like Calnex (which acquired iTrinegy), Netcall, iEnergizer in the booming power sector, and Nanoco. Worst performers in UK-listed Tech sector, which was down 29%, included some of the highest-valued software companies in e-commerce, transfer payments and ID management. They have been impacted by higher interest payments, as higher discount rates are applied to value future cash flows; they include: Trustpilot, Made Tech, Dot Digital and Wise.
With its dedicated office in San Francisco, and expertise in the West Coast deals climate, ICON highlights five US mega cap deals in its report:
Oracle's acquisition of Cerner for $28bn in December 2021, although shares are down 20% YTD, like many companies in the sector
Microsoft's $69bn acquisition of Activisation Blizzard (Call of Duty, Warcraft) – at almost 8x revenues – in January 2022
Broadcom's acquisition of virtualisation specialist VMWare for $69bn or 5x revenues in May 2022
Vista's acquisition of Citrix for $1.7bn or 5x revenues in January 2022
Elon Musk's lapsed offer of $46bn, almost 9x revenues, for Twitter – a surprise in April. He now faces a $1bn termination fee, or worse.

35th Catholic Mass Media Awards winners
7 years ago Mark Madrona
The presentation ceremonies for the 35th annual Catholic Mass Media Awards (CMMA) was held last night at the GSIS Theater in Pasay City. According to the CMMA Facebook page, they received 737 entries this year in 57 categories. Of the 737 nominees, only 216 were selected as finalists.
CMMA Foundation aims to "pay tribute to media products that enhance the total human development of the Filipino audience through the competent and professional use of mass media techniques." The theme for this year is "Social networks: Portals of truth and faith, new spaces for evangelization."
Here's a partial list of winners based on various news sources:
The 35th Catholic Mass Media Awards was held last November 15
*Best news commentary for radio – "Failon Ngayon Sa DZMM"
Best radio ad public service – ABS-CBN's 'Bantay Lakbay' for Holy Week 2012
Best public service program for TV – "Saklolo" ng ABS-CBN;
Best TV Station ID – ABS-CBN Regional Network Group (RNG)'s Christmas Station ID
Best talk show ang "Bottom Line with Boy Abunda" ng ABS-CBN;
Best TV special – "San Pedro Calungsod" (ABS-CBN)
Best inspirational song – "Kuya Pedro" of Star Records
Student's choice award for best picture – "It Takes A Man and a Woman" of Star Cinema
Best Investigative Report – "Greening Cebu: Help or Hazard?" of Sun Star Cebu
(GMA News and major print media outlets are yet to write about the said event. Meanwhile, CMMA hasn't posted the complete list of winners so far.)
PERSONAL: I submitted The Filipino Scribe as a nominee for the Best Blog award, one of the two awards under the Internet category (the other one being the Best Website recognition). I remember preparing a 30-slide PowerPoint presentation about TFS for this competition (I had to submit eight copies of it!). I even paid P1,000 as a registration fee last May. LOL
As it is, TFS failed to make it as one of the finalists. I had no illusions of winning in the first place. Although I believe my blog can win in terms of merits (it has been recognized twice before), TFS' non-conservative orientation, especially on issues like gay rights and reproductive health, is definitely a huge drawback. Nevertheless, I joined since I believe that it's better to try and lose rather than not try at all. 🙂
CMMA deleted the Best Blog Award category this year, just like in 2012 (click to enlarge)

Q: A double series with divisibility restrictions How may I restrict  $i,j$ such that they run over $\mathbb{N}$ excepting the numbers divisible by $2$ or $3$ or $7$?
Sum[1/( i j (i + j + 1)), {i, 1, Infinity}, {j, 1, Infinity}]

A: Could do explicit inclusion/exclusion as below (I forget what the correct term is but you'll get the idea). First do one index.
s1 = Sum[1/(i j (i + j + 1)), {j, 1, Infinity}];

s2 = Sum[1/(i j (i + j + 1)), {j, 2, Infinity, 2}];
s3 = Sum[1/(i j (i + j + 1)), {j, 3, Infinity, 3}];
s7 = Sum[1/(i j (i + j + 1)), {j, 7, Infinity, 7}];

s23 = Sum[1/(i j (i + j + 1)), {j, 2*3, Infinity, 2*3}];
s27 = Sum[1/(i j (i + j + 1)), {j, 2*7, Infinity, 2*7}];
s37 = Sum[1/(i j (i + j + 1)), {j, 3*7, Infinity, 3*7}];
s237 = Sum[1/(i j (i + j + 1)), {j, 2*3*7, Infinity, 2*3*7}];

stot = s1 - (s2 + s3 + s7) + (s23 + s27 + s37) - s237;

Can now repeat the process with the other index. Below would be the first step.
t1 = Sum[stot, {i, 1, Infinity}]

Unfortunately I cannot get a closed form for this.
If there is a way to rewrite as some form of convolution sum that might be amenable to Fourier series type methods. Offhand I don't see such a rewrite but I could easily be missing something of that sort.

A: I tried to go the usual tricky route in order to use symmetries :
$$\sum_{i,j} \frac{1}{i\ j (i+j+1)} = \int_{0}^{\infty} dx\ e^{-x} \left(\sum_{i} \frac{e^{-i x}}{i} \right)^2$$
The sum can be performed in closed form :
s = Sum[Exp[-i x]/i Boole[Mod[i, 2] != 0] Boole[Mod[i, 3] != 0] Boole[
Mod[i, 7] != 0] , {i, 1, Infinity}]

but the integral cannot.
Numerically :
NIntegrate[Exp[-x] s s, {x, 0, Infinity}]
(* 0.480345 *)

which looks in line with @tintin.

A: You can also use Boole as follows:
Sum[1/(i j (i + j + 1)) Boole[! Divisible[i, 2] && !
     Divisible[i, 3] && ! Divisible[i, 7] && ! Divisible[j, 2] && !
     Divisible[j, 3] && ! Divisible[j, 7]], {i, 1, 1000}, {j, 1,
  1000}] // N

0.478819

Which gives the same numerical value as tintin's Mod version.
To speed things up, you can use the new iteration form in Mathematica
First define lis as follows:
lis = Select[Range[1, 1000, 2], Not@Divisible[#, 3] && Not@Divisible[#, 7] &] // N;

Then:
Sum[1/(i j (i + j + 1)), {i, lis}, {j, lis}]

0.478819

A: f[i_, j_] := 0;
f[i_, j_] :=
 1/(i j (i + j + 1)) /;
 Mod[i, 2] != 0 && Mod[i, 3] != 0 && Mod[i, 7] != 0 &&
   Mod[j, 2] != 0 && Mod[j, 3] != 0 && Mod[j, 7] != 0

you can sum it with
Sum[f[i,j],{i,1,1000},{j,1,1000}]

which I get the number of
    0.478819
I write 1000 because I cant deal with the infinity thing

A: I think you can achieve this way too,
Total[Total[
   Table[If[(Divisible[i, #] && Divisible[j, #]) & /@ {2, 3, 7}  /.
      List -> Or, 1/(i j (i + j + 1)), 0], {i, 1, 1000}, {j, 1,
     1000}]]] // N

0.344854

Sum will achieve the same result, its gives same result as a Table with two iterators as in your case.
If you do NSum[1/(i j (i + j + 1)), {i, 1, 1000}, {j, 1, 1000}]
you get

SequenceLimit::seqlim: The general form of the sequence could not be determined, and the result may be incorrect.
  1.97715

But if you use Total[Total[Table[1/(i j (i + j + 1)), {i, 1, 1000}, {j, 1, 1000}]] //
   N]

1.98443 (No warnings)

Now to see that same results are generated by Sum and custom loop check these,
Sum[1/(i j (i + j + 1)), {i, 1, 50}, {j, 1, 50}] // N

1.81095

Total[Total[Table[1/(i j (i + j + 1)), {i, 1, 50}, {j, 1, 50}]] // N]

1.81095

'NSum' probably uses approximations hence its result is pretty close but might be wrong if high precision needed.

Fenerbahce puts Erden in the paint again
Aug 01, 2014 by Euroleague.net Print
Fenerbahce Ulker Istanbul bolstered its frontcourt with one of the Turkish Airlines Euroleague's top rebounders and shot-blockers from the past couple of seasons, center Semih Erden, who returns to the club after four years away on a one-year deal signed Friday. Erden (2.11 meters, 27 years old) arrives from cross-town rival Anadolu Efes Istanbul, where he spent the past two seasons. Before he had his campaign cut short by injury last season, the big man was posting 6.6 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game. It was his seventh Euroleague season, four of which he played for Fenerbahce from 2006 until 2010. He helped FB Ulker win Turkish League titles in 2007, 2008 and 2010, as well as the Turkish Cup trophy in 2010. Erden has also played for Boston and Cleveland in the NBA, Besiktas JK Istanbul and Darussafaka in Turkey, and Partizan Belgrade in Serbia during his career. He is also a regular member of the Turkish national team, and he helped Turkey win a silver medal at the 2010 FIBA World Championships.

The empath's guide: Religion, smart Jews, and being a good person… what do spiritual capacities have to do with it?
Not up for it? Spare yourself frustration, and don't read it.
OK... now that only the eleven or so readers that are up for it remain reading, I can be blunt, and use some six letter words... lol.
OK, I am going to, first talk about a new insight I have on religion, then about Jews, capacities, genetically smarter... and other politically incorrect subjects that are keeping me busy pondering today.
Religion may have been, at least some religions, a rule book, a code of conduct, a way to become a human being.
Are all Jews equally smart, intelligent, high achievers? Are they also high on the "goodness" and morality scale?
What is the relationship between the number of capacities you have active, and your vibration?
Judaism, and even 30% of teachings which are attributed to Jesus are useful guidance, if you are told that you made a covenant with the Creator that you'll become a good person.
If you have no such agreement, then probably no guidance will matter much: you won't even concern yourself with becoming a good person.
What is a good person? A good person is someone who is completely fulfills on the principles and actuality of its design.
To know what it means, you need to know what are the principles of the design of a good person.
You can look in religion... or you can look at your DNA.
Every human's DNA has (according to my muscle test) 160 intangible, spiritual capacities encoded. A DNA can be either expressed or suppressed... active or inactive piece of DNA.
Suppressed pieces of DNA are actually physically restricted from expressing themselves. The reason is: they use energy, which the organism, in its wisdom, only want to spend if the piece of DNA serves a useful purpose.
This is why most humans living today have 153-156 unexpressed pieces of DNA, just in the area of spiritual capacities.
There are other areas of the DNA... that I am not going to deal with now, but to give you a taste: some physical capacities are like that... for example running fast... most of us can't... But as a potential it is there, in everyone. It takes a huge amount of effort, or an emergency to "unsupress" the capacity.
I hope that the example of a physical capacity will make it easier to grasp the intangible capacities... Because intangible capacities are intangible, they are invisible, and no one suspects that intangible capacities are not turned on, or that even can be turned on, by effort, or emergency need.
The Jews: are they all smart?
In the five thousand year history of the Jews, they have been dispersed, were in slavery, etc.
Depending on the attitude of the natives to Jews, they were free to work, trade, etc. or not.
Ashkenazi Jews had it the roughest. They are the Jews who tried to eke out a living in the northern countries of Europe. The persecution was almost constant, and life was urgent. Life was about two things: surviving, and learning how to be a good man by studying the Torah and other Jewish wisdom books. Those books are written in "code", and it requires an immense amount of time, concentration, humility, immersion, focus, sacrifice, and smarts to make sense of it.
I remember one sentence in the Old Testament that our class worked on for six hours, and it still remained a mystery.
Doing this, studying incomprehensible code, generation after generation, has demanded that the spiritual capacities be released, expressed and usable.
One half of the Jews in Europe sharpened their mind on the Torah, the other half with becoming good and sharp at mathematics, money, and business... That was the only occupation open to Jews in most countries... none other.
Painful effort to some end is what is needed to release a suppressed capacity.
I know of no other group of people who had and created as many opportunities for growth as the Jews.
Marshal arts for the monks in the Far East served the same purpose, except it was non-verbal and non-intellectual... and didn't spread and did not become inheritable, because the monks didn't marry.
Every generation needed to start from square one, while with the Jews, the new capacities, after many generations, became inheritable.
Segments of the Jewish population, the Spharadic Jews did not have as hard as the Ashkenazi Jews, and that is reflected in the number of intangible capacities they turned on: around total 10: on average 4 more than the non-Jewish population of the world.
To the degree they relate to the Torah as the study of how to be a good person: yes. That is individual.
Like in every ethnic group, there are good people and bad people, moral and immoral.
The number of immoral Jews grows when they live in an assimilation mode... intermarry, and leave the community that fostered being a good person above all.
What decides how many capacities you have to work with?
You start with the number of capacities you inherit from your parents, capacities that are turned on.
If you inherited capacities as curiosity, or passion, you may start adding capacities on your own.
All people with a lot of capacities are famous.
Warren Buffet: born with 8 capacities, has 30 capacities working now.
Charlie Munger: born with 12 capacities, has 40 capacities working now.
Bill Gates: born with seven capacities, has 30 capacities working now.
I could give you many examples.
What is in common with these people is that they were willing to endure pain, a lot, during their lives, because without pain, capacities don't turn on.
Some intangible capacities are more relevant in raising your vibration than others.
But ultimately, there is a strong correlation between the number of capacities you have and your vibration.
And actualized here means: matching the Original Design, encoded in your DNA as a potential.

No matter how high she built the fire, Tara couldn't get warm. The sound of the wind whistling and howling around the house chilled her to the bone despite the comforting heat from the fireplace.
She shivered and pulled the heavy quilt tighter around her shoulders. Jason had been so excited to book this cabin for the week so they could celebrate their tenth anniversary. Of course, their actual anniversary was a little more than two months away…but the rates for the cabin were more than double in June so they were celebrating a little early.
Tara looked around at the small windows along the front of the cabin and listened for the sound of Jason stacking firewood on the porch. The property manager had made a point of mentioning the storage building full of wood when they'd picked the keys up, and now she knew why. Jason was going to be freezing when he came in.
She shivered again and stood up, gathering the bottom edge of the quilt up to avoid tripping over it—the gleaming wooden floors were tricky enough to navigate in three pairs of socks without stepping on the quilt. He'd appreciate some hot cocoa when he came in, she thought.
She opened and shut four cupboards before she found the pots and pans. The water burbled a bit coming out of the tap before it steadied into a solid stream. It was ice cold, and it occurred to her to wonder how cold it would have to get to actually freeze in the well.
She filled the pot and gingerly shuffled across the kitchen to put it down on the metal trivet covering the burner. Some maneuvering had the bottom of the quilt under her feet for warmth, and she turned her attention to the stove.
It was gas, and much older than her stainless steel electric one at home. Careful to keep the quilt back from the stove top, she turned the knob for the closest burner. There was an immediate hiss of gas and the unfamiliar smell of rotten eggs…but no flame.
Tara stepped back and bent to peer at the burner, trying to troubleshoot the problem. She turned the knob back to the off position and considered the stove more closely. Maybe you had to start it on low and let it warm up?
She turned the knob to what she presumed was the lowest setting. The markings had long since worn off the face of the stove, so she couldn't be certain, but the hissing wasn't as loud. And still there was no flame.
She turned the knob back until the hissing stopped and then stared at the stove. The quilt slid down her shoulders, forgotten in her frustration.
"OK," she said, and jumped a little at the sound of her voice in the cabin. This is ridiculous, she thought to herself. I troubleshoot some of the biggest networks in the country. Surely I can figure out one antiquated stove!
Reaching out she snapped the knob to the middle setting and frowned as the now-familiar hissing and smell failed to produce a flame. In a burst of irritation she slapped the knob with the flat of her hand, and jumped back at the series of pops that ignited the escaping gas into a dancing ring of blue flame.
"Huh! What do ya know about that?" she murmured, and took a closer look at the knob. A cautious clockwise lowered the flame, and a more confident counter-clockwise turn raised it to lick at the bottom of the pot.
Not willing to risk the flame heating the water, Tara moved to the working burner's mate and turned the knob. Watching the burner closely, she pushed the knob in and was rewarded with another series of pops and a dancing ring of flame. She smiled and flicked the knob off.
By the time Jason stamped his way through the front door, followed by a blast of frigid air, she was pouring creamy hot chocolate into two mugs.
I wrote and posted this short story last year, but I'm resurrecting it for the Write On Edge prompt this week...just because it fit SO well!
Thanks for stopping by, and please feel free to leave a comment so I'll know you were here!
You're right to resurrect this, it was perfect for the merge prompt. I find your posts delightful as always. Well done!
Never underestimate gas stoves! They can be so stubborn! ;) Nice writing!
I was feeling a little trepidation about this story ... fearful that there would be some horrific end to a potentially sweet get-away. What a relief that it ended so sweetly -- whew!
I was feeling her frustration, I use to get the same way when I would try to autopilot the gas stove in our trailer. I always needed coaxing.
I was preparing for a loud explosion! Good thing she got it. The details made this story pop.
I love this! Great details and contrast between the snowy, cold outside to the warmth of the hot chocolate. Good read!
you set a great atmosphere with this! Lots of great sensory details, great job!
It made me shiver just to read about the cabin; great little scene!

Q: How can I force IE9/10 to use IE8 for BOTH document mode and browser mode? I would like IE9 and IE10 to use IE8 for both Document Mode and Browser Mode. I'm using the following, and Document Mode gets set to "IE8 standards," but Browser Mode is still set to IE9:
<!DOCTYPE html>

  <title>IE Test</title>
  <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE8"/>

some text here afskdjflewnqrkweqn lrwenhrwejfaskdjfhsdsd

What do I need to do to force Browser Mode to be IE8? Is this even possible?

A: Controlling the browser mode isn't possible from the site itself.
The Browser Mode setting is controlled by the Compatibility View list (clientside) only. The Document Mode setting is controlled by the browser mode and/or the X-UA-Compatible header.


Russia special counsel Robert Mueller questioned an associate of the Trump Organization who had a role in overseas deals with President Donald Trump's New York-based company in recent years.
The person "was a party to multiple transactions connected to Trump's effort to expand his brand abroad," McClatchy disclosed, though the report did not specifically name the associate.
The investigators were "armed with subpoenas compelling electronic records and sworn testimony," when they descended on the associate's home.
President Trump has repeatedly slammed the Russia investigation as a "witch hunt" and has denied having any dealings with Russia or that his campaign had colluded with the Kremlin during the 2016 election.
According to McClatchy, investigators were concerned about dealings involving Michael Cohen, Trump's longtime personal attorney and a former Trump Organization employee.
Cohen was involved in business deals the Trump Organization secured or sought in Georgia, Kazakhstan, and Russia.
However, it was "unclear how many properties or deals the Mueller team might be looking at," the report noted.
The Trump Organization's vast interests include properties spanning from Panama, Brazil, and Uruguay to Azerbaijan, and Georgia.
Trump's children — Ivanka, Don Jr. and Eric — "were parties to talks involving many of the dealings," according to the report.
"Generally, the discussions revolved around licensing fees for use of the Trump name," McClatchy disclosed.
Cohen left the company in January 2017 — and neither he nor Trump Organization attorney Alan Garten responded to requests seeking comment.
During the campaign, news reports disclosed Cohen pursued a hotel deal for Trump in the Moscow area — and his partner was Felix Sater, a Russian émigré and former Trump Organization associate.
Sater's role became public last year just as Trump insisted he had no business interests in Russia, McClatchy reported.
Cohen and Sater have said they teamed with a Russian group, I.C. Expert Consulting, and Cohen last year told congressional investigators last year why the deal was not completed.
Sater is working with the Mueller probe and provided more than six hours of closed-door testimony on Wednesday to the Senate Intelligence Committee, McClatchy reported.
Sater also testified in a classified session before the House Intelligence Committee in December 2017.

Q: Accessing DB2-LUW 10 with entity framework 6 I am developing an application in which the database is selected by the end user at runtime. The database can either be on a MS SQL server or an IBM DB2 server. I am currently using IBM DB2 10 Express-c on a windows server for testing. I am developing using Visual Studio 2013 C# and Entity Framework 6. I have installed the EntityFramework.IBM.DB2 Nuget package for the DB2 support. I am using reverse-engineer code-first against an existing SQL server database to generate my base code. The application works fine against a SQL Server database.
I am using System.Data.Common.DbProviderFactories.GetFactory to generate the provider.
            System.Data.EntityClient.EntityConnectionStringBuilder connectString = new System.Data.EntityClient.EntityConnectionStringBuilder(a_Connection);
            System.Data.Common.DbConnection conn = System.Data.Common.DbProviderFactories.GetFactory(connectString.Provider).CreateConnection();
            conn.ConnectionString = connectString.ProviderConnectionString;
            LB500Database = new LB402_TestContext(conn, true);

a_Connection is provider=IBM.Data.DB2;provider connection string="Database=LISTBILL;User ID=xxxx;Password=yyyy;Server=db210:50000"
and is being parsed correctly by the EntityConnectionStringBuilder.
I then try to access a table in the database with
            LBData500.LB_System oneSystem;
            System.Linq.IQueryable<LB_System> allSystem = LB500Database.LB_System.Where(g => g.DatabaseVersion == databaseVersion && g.CompanyID == companyID);

I get an invalid operation exception "Sequence contains no matching element" which means that no elements are returned. If I remove the Where so that all rows are returned (there is one in the table) and try to enumerate the result set using the VS debugger I see the message:
"The context cannot be used while the model is being created. This exception may be thrown if the context is used inside the OnModelCreating method or if the same context instance is accessed by multiple threads concurrently. Note that instance members of DbContext and related classes are not guaranteed to be thread safe."
I am not using multi-threading. I am not inside the OnModelCreating.
Just changing the connect string to point to SQL server works fine, so I think my basic approach is sound. If I were getting some kind of error back from the server I would have something to go on. I can run the query from inside Visual Studio, so I have connectivity.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
UPDATE:
I turns out the EF objects were generated using EF5 and the EF6 runtime was being used. I regenerated the EF objects using EF6 reverse engineer code first. I can now connect to the database and get an error message:
"ERROR [42704] [IBM][DB2/NT64] SQL0204N  \"DBO.LB_SYSTEM\" is an undefined name."
The schema in the DB2 database is the same as my userid (in this case, not always). I added the CurrentSchema=xxxx to the provide connection string, but EF is still passing dbo as the schema name.
Now I need a way to change the schema name at run time. I saw a link to codeplex EFModelAdapter (http://efmodeladapter.codeplex.com). So I may give that a try.
Update2 After looking through EFModelAdapter, I decided to take a different route. Since I only need database access and not schema management, I decided to go with Dapper (https://github.com/StackExchange/dapper-dot-net). This works great for what I need and allows me to change the schema name when accessing DB2 databases.

A: As per my Update 2, Entity Framework was a little overkill for what I needed. I switched to dapper https://github.com/StackExchange/dapper-dot-net and I am working fine against multiple DBMSs.

Nascar is Not Looking Good, and That's Not a Bad Thing
Did you know that Nascar is nearly breathing its last breath? It's true. A story in the WSJ outlined the many problems the motor sport that was once America's favorite has endured over the past few years. Even iconic driver Richard Petty, who won more races than anyone in history, is talking about keeping their heads above water, and that "something's got to happen in the next couple of seasons" for the sport to survive.
Here are some of bleak details of the great decline of what was once a sports phenomenon.
Sponsors have left the sport in droves. Companies who once emblazoned their logos on cars like Dodge, Office Depot, UPS, Home Depot, and Aflac no longer pay for this privilege. At one big track in Martinsville, West Virginia, they've reduced the number of seats since there are no longer the hundreds of thousands of fans to fill them. Beer lines are non-existent. T-shirt trucks are bereft of customers.
The story explained that it's partly the recession and partly that there is little excitement any more. Jimmie Johnson keeps winning and he's got no charisma, like Jeff Gordon or the elder statesman, Richard Petty. TV ratings are down 21% from 2005, when seeing races on TV used to mean high ratings. Fox Sports gave the sport a $2.4 billion plus contract for eight years, but attendance at the track is down 43%.
Maybe we will see the day when these computerized cars will no longer spend Sunday afternoons turning left. There are more important things to use gas for than that.

Breitbart: Ex-Google Chief Uses 'Top- ier' Immigration Claim to Stiff U.S. College Graduates
By Neil Munro
U.S. tech companies need to import "top tier talent" so they can beat China's aggressive companies, says a bait-and-switch message from ex-Google chief Eric Schmidt to the White House.
"The ability to attract and retain top-tier talent from around the world is the backbone of a trifecta where the best talent comes to the U.S., to work at the best institutions on the most cutting-edge intellectual property," Schmidt said an op-ed for Barron's magazine. "Our nation's own National Security Strategy says it best: 'The United States must continue to attract the innovative and the inventive, the brilliant and the bold.'" Read the full story at Breitbart.


This is just a quick chat to get to know each other, discuss your project, make sure we're a good fit, and don't waste each other's time.
This is a series of in-depth meetings where I will gather and extract all of the information I need to develop a strategy for your business. I will dig deep to understand your business, your target market, and your competition. At the end of this process, I will present a project roadmap outlining the strategies and tactics that will work best to grow your business.
I will create a visual outline of your website: what pages we need, how they will be connected, and what functionality will be present. This is a very high-level blueprint that makes it easy to see the overall structure and make sure we're all on the same page.
Honestly, this is the fun part where you start to really see your website take shape. I'll produce a mockup for a few key pages of your site, so we can find the right combination of layout, color, imagery, and typography to represent your brand and resonate with your target audience.

The eighth round is open, the coin price is $ 2. Until the end of ico there are 3 stages for 7 days.
Dear Participants of the ICO program of the new folk coin FOLK COIN. Congratulations to all on the completion of the eighth round and with the opening of the penultimate - the ninth. We went to the home stretch!
Until the coin went to the stock exchange, there remained 1 month. Who has not yet purchased the tokens, there is a chance to do it now.
So the last tenth round was opened. Until the end of the ICO program there is a week left!
The tenth round was successfully completed. It remains 2 days before the opening of the additional round.
Finally, the day has come, and we are announcing an additional closing round.
In accordance with the White Paper, the additional stage of FOLK COIN sales will be held during the last week of the ICO.
Today, it is already safe to say that the ICO passed successfully. Out of 9,000,000 FOLK COINs, only 2,716,898 FOLK COINs remain unsold.
An additional round will last for 10 days. Tokens that are not sold during the ICO will be destroyed. This will ensure a deficit of coins upon entering the exchange, which will have a positive influence on the demand and will result in an increase in the cost of FOLK COIN.
Good news for those who were hesitating to buy coins at a low price, or were not on time to do it for some reason.
It means that the price is two times lower than the self cost.
Use this opportunity to purchase tokens at a very low price.
Dear partners, we've already told in the news that we will inform you where our Folk Coin will be placed after carrying out the test on the exchange.
Now our Folk Coin is freely available.
As we planned, to create demand and need, our marketers, managers, traders and all our united Folk Coin team are carrying out excellent work which will take some time.
exchange and start trading with us, thus making money due to trading Folk Coin.
Thank you for your patience and taking part in the life of our coin.
Everyone can participate. Today, the coin can already be bought on the stock exchange.
