Exelis and FAA–Designated Test Sites to Research the Safe Integration of Unmanned Aircraft into the National Airspace System
HERNDON, Va., May 05, 2015—Exelis (NYSE:XLS) has signed agreements with four Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)-designated unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) Test Sites for airspace situational awareness and research. The research will focus on using the Exelis Symphony RangeVue sense-and-avoid tool towards safe integration of unmanned aircraft into the national airspace system.
Under the terms of the agreements, the Test Sites will gain valuable real-time and historical situational awareness of the range airspace via Symphony RangeVue, while Exelis gains critical product feedback through operational usage. The participating Test Sites are the Pan-Pacific UAS Test Range at University of Alaska Fairbanks, Alaska; the Northern Plains UAS Test Site at University of North Dakota, N.D.; the Northeast UAS Airspace Integration Research Alliance at Griffiss International Airport, N.Y; and the Mid-Atlantic Aviation Partnership at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Va.
"The partnerships with these Test Sites are win-win arrangements," said Ed Sayadian, vice president of Civil & Aerospace Systems for Exelis. "The Test Sites receive air traffic control-quality surveillance data, increasing safety and enabling beyond-line-of-site operations, while Exelis gains critical product feedback which will be used to shape and validate our service offerings."
Symphony RangeVue enables UAS operators and test range personnel to have access to both real-time and historical aircraft surveillance information via a web-hosted platform, helping to manage mission operations across multiple locations. Symphony RangeVue can be used as command center decision support and post-event analysis tool, or in the field as a sense-and-avoid addition to UAS ground control stations. Flexible geo-fencing tools alert operators when a UAS approaches airspace boundaries or other aircraft are in the vicinity.
Additionally, Exelis is pursuing research and development opportunities with the Test Sites exploring detect-and-avoid algorithms; non-cooperative target tracking; command and control systems; infrastructure inspection and monitoring; big data analysis for air traffic; and integration of non-FAA surveillance sources. Exelis will leverage capabilities across multiple test sites for a wide range of operational testing and collection of safety data.

Q: Unity importing DLL causes parser error? I have a DLL which I am trying to import into my Unity project. I am following this tutorial on their website example. However, this line of code causes a parser error saying that "An extern alias declaration must precede all other elements."
private static extern float FooPluginFunction ();
I have tried searching online for the solution to this error but I do not get any results that are related to Unity. I have the DLL in my assets/plugins folder. Does anyone know what is causing this error and how I would fix it?
Edit: Script containing DLL import.
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

public class VR : MonoBehaviour {

    // Use this for initialization
    void Start () {

    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update () {

    }

}

[DllImport ("myplugin")]
private static extern TextFunc ();

myplugin.dll is in my Unity assets/plugins folder.

A: This error says that you have to put your dll import above that line where you use TextFunc() and inside a class.
Edit: Check this.

The "Gene" white headless male mannequin series is presented in three distinctive poses with a choice of oval head, abstract head or headless design. Gene shows off his highly detailed body sculpting, excellent quality fiberglass construction with fingers in a relaxed pose and defined toes. Fashionable and up-to-the-minute, this mannequin model is designed to bring about a sense of realism, allowing your outfits to show off their own virtues. Gene's clean white color and abstract design accentuate the merchandise and not the mannequin.
Our mannequins are 70" to 72" tall, enhancing the garment being displayed with a larger–than-life appearance. Other inexpensive imports can be 64" to 66" tall, which inadvertently causes the product to seem less luxurious, which can negatively impact sales.

Within the following year, Enterprise captured eight privateers and liberated 11 American vessels from captivity, achievements which assured her inclusion in the 14 ships retained in the Navy after the Quasi-War. She also participated in the siege of Tripoli in 1801 and underwent major repair in Venice in 1805 then again in Washington in 1811 where the rig was changed to a brig. The Enterprise and Constitution captured the pirate ship Matisco, and in 1813 she captured the English brig Boxer. She was sunk in the West Indies in 1823.

A few days ago, I reconnected with one of the most talented people I have worked with so far in my career. That girl is Lights. The last time I caught up with Lights was at Warped 2009 in Montreal where she had already achieved gold status on singles and was killing it at Warped every day. Since then she has toured the UK countless times, released her debut record '€œThe Listening'€, toured with Owl City, headlined several tours and when she sold out her show in Boston a few nights ago with the longest line I'€™ve seen yet at that venue, I knew we had a lot to catch up on.
Honestly, I wasn'€™t sure what to expect going into this interview but it feels like she has gotten more and more down to earth the more and more success she has and is constantly smiling through everything. We talked about everything she'€™s been up to including her cameos on the new Bring Me The Horizon record to her own record coming in 2011. Read our exclusive interview below to see how the journey has been for the incredibly hardworking Canadian songstress and catch her on the rest of this tour because she'€™s about to head into the studio to record some new music for you!
So obviously a lot, a lot has gone on since Warped '€˜09. You'€™ve gone to the UK several times, spent a lot of time on the road with Owl City, you'€™ve put out your record '€œThe Listening'€ which has already been out for over a year. How has this journey been for you? Did you ever imagine it would get to this place so fast?
Well the journey has been fantastic though it doesn'€™t feel fast (laughs). I will say that I mean I feel like I'€™ve been working every day of my life for about three years now. I mean since I saw you at Warped Tour, we haven'€™t stopped touring basically and it'€™s incredible. You know it'€™s a really great example of when you pour everything into something that you have and put in all of this time in then you can actually see some results. Encouragement to everyone out there it works!
And then how has the natural progression been? I mean I know you have been certified gold and you'€™re constantly playing bigger rooms. How has the progression been?
It'€™s been good. I mean it really pays off in these shows and coming back to the same places. You can see the difference when you go to a place and then come back maybe five, six months later and there'€™s people at your show, a few more people at your shows you know. It just goes to show that if you have something good, that you'€™re really proud of, people will come out and in a natural way.
Then the record came out a few weeks after your run on Warped '€œThe Listening'€. How has that been going over now that it'€™s been over a year? How are kids, sales?
Um, I mean I don'€™t ever pay attention to sales. It'€™s one of those things I never look it.
It seems like that a lot these days which I love!
(laughs) Yeah exactly.
But I mean obviously it'€™s grown. I mean I saw you a few months back when you were here with Paper Route and Owl City I was working with Paper Route. The show was insane, sold out, everyone singing your words-
And not just Owl City'€™s. How has it grown?
It'€™s been amazing. Well in one way, on twitter. You know I'€™m on twitter and I'€™m getting more followers every day that'€™s a good sign. It'€™s good, I think it'€™s going the way that I want it to. The best thing is seeing people saying that they really identified with a song or this song has really helped them through like stuff and that way you know it'€™s resounding with some people and that'€™s what really matters. It'€™s really hard to gauge the success of something especially now in a time where nobody'€™s really buying records. You look for it in other ways like who'€™s coming out to your shows, how many people are coming to your shows you know, how many views you have on something when you put it out. That'€™s the only way I guess you can gauge it nowadays.
And then I know the album is in the works to come out in Spring 2011.
I haven'€™t announced anything yet (laughs).
That'€™s what I was going to ask like. Is it still obviously in the works?
Yeah it'€™s definitely not done. Well considering that I'€™ve been on tour ever since, it'€™s been awfully tough. Ever since before the record came out right?
Oh yeah you'€™ve been out constantly.
So where do you find time to do a new one and it'€™s definitely one of those things that'€™s weighing down on my mind because I want to make something really good and amazing but when you'€™re always on tour it'€™s impossible. So after this tour, I'€™m going to take a little time off and it'€™s not really time off when you'€™re making a record but I'€™ll be working on a record over the winter and hopefully something will come out next year sometime. I mean there'€™s no set date and I think the reason that the rumor is probably flying around-. Well it'€™s not necessarily a rumor because there is something coming out eventually you know what I'€™m talking about. I just put out a new song a few weeks ago '€œMy Boots'€.
Yeah so that'€™s always an indicator that something new is in the works and it is and I knew I was ready for that when I put it out so I'€™m definitely working on it. Not anywhere near done though!
And then how do you normally go about the writing process? Is it different every time, does it just depend on where you are? How does it come about?
The songwriting process? It'€™s different all the time. With '€œThe Listening'€, it was much different because I obviously wasn'€™t really touring. I didn'€™t have a solid fan base and when you'€™re writing for yourself, you'€™re not writing for anyone but yourself. I think that'€™s the way it should always be. You always make the records you want but it gets harder to not focus on what other people are saying the more of a fan base you develop. So I'€™m trying to ignore that as bad as that sounds (laughs) in working on the next record. It will be different. It will be a different place that I'€™m coming from. I'€™m not in the same place that I was a few years ago. You grow up, you want to get better and after two and a half years of straight touring you'€™re better at what you do. You'€™re better at singing and you'€™re better at knowing what'€™s going to come across your path so there'€™s a lot more, a lot of different factors that are going to come into play that weren'€™t there for '€œThe Listening'€ and we'€™ll see what happens. I'€™m excited!
That'€™s really exciting and then you dropped your acoustic EP in July of this year and I know you came back here. I know you'€™ve played here a lot at the Mid East I believe actually.
Yeah, oh yeah! It'€™s weird like I always come here. The only time I didn'€™t play here was with Owl City.
And now you'€™re downstairs so obviously it'€™s growing.
Why did you decide to do this? Because it'€™s obviously a different side of you and your music?
Yeah! Well a couple of reasons actually. One of them being that it was a direct result of the ability to answer to what fans want based on multi-media platforms like twitter and you tube. I was getting good response on acoustic videos that I was putting on you tube. People were like '€˜Oh I'€™d buy an acoustic EP if you put it out'€™ and I'€™m like '€˜Hmm'€™ (laughs). So there'€™s that and people seem to really resonate with what I was doing acoustically and it brought people closer to the songs and that'€™s exactly the other reason why I did it. I put a lot of effort into the way the songs are written. You know the structure and the way that all the lyrics go with the melodies and sometimes it'€™s lost a little bit in co production. I mean that'€™s my sound and that'€™s what my music is but it'€™s nice to strip that away once in a while and show people exactly what you are. You know and it was a little vulnerable and I was a little nervous at first. I was like '€˜Are people going to like this?'€™. I just made it on my own at home and I just put it out and it was like putting out a picture of yourself naked only less scandalous.
Well it is really scary to do!
Then maybe where'€™s the strangest place you think you'€™ve found inspiration like someone said something to you, you experienced something? What was like the weirdest place you'€™ve been inspired from?
Probably '€œHeavy Metal'€ magazine. I don'€™t know if you'€™ve ever read that but it'€™s like this kind of adult fantasy sci-fi metal magazine that'€™s been out for, or issues have been coming out since like the sixties, seventies. I find it really inspiring to read those (laughs)!
Then you'€™re obviously, it'€™s very talked about, on the new Bring Me The Horizon record which is something maybe seen as strange by some of your fans. I know though that from the past, you'€™re in to bands like that like Gallows but some one probably wouldn'€™t expect that from you especially with Oli. How did that come about? I mean you'€™re on two songs on it!
Well I mean I think that the people that follow my music mostly do kind of expect that from me. I just put out a song with Silverstein earlier so it was similar right and it'€™s something I really enjoy doing and it'€™s branching out into a different thing. Those things always have to happen really naturally. I can'€™t be like oh I want to do something so different from my music. I can'€™t call up Cradle of Filth and see if they can let me sing on their new record like you can'€™t force things like that. You just have to let it happen organically and happen when they happen so basically that was a result of, well I met the Bring Me The Horizon guys a couple years ago. We just randomly met on tour in like a blizzard in Rhode Island and we were snowed in and I didn'€™t know who they were and they didn'€™t know who I was and we just hung out and we had a good time. Played video games you know and this summer, their manager was on face book who'€™s a good friend of mine through all of this. Through all the connections and just people you meet along the way and he said we'€™re finishing up the record and I was writing in LA at the time and he said '€˜we'€™re finishing up some vocals here. Oli took a day off Warped Tour and we'€™re doing vocals if you want to come in and do some too'€™ and I was like '€˜Sure?'€™. So he sent me the song and with in literally like forty eight hours, I learned the song and we went in and did it and then while we were in the studio, they were like '€˜do you want to throw some thing on the end of Crucify Me?'€™. I'€™m like '€˜Sure!'€™ so it was so spur of the moment and it was really natural and cool and Oli'€™s really chill with the melodies that he'€™s coming up with. It'€™s neat!
No it'€™s a great mix because it sounds so angelic compared to Oli.
Oh it'€™s so cool. The juxtaposition is nice! That'€™s why I really enjoy metal, you know, and like hardcore (laughs) because there'€™s that sort of sense of gentleness that you can somehow find in all of it.
It sounds really great and as a singer songwriter, maybe that was the collaboration for you but is there anyone that would be like a dream collaboration for you?
Yes (laughs)!
Truth comes out!
Um well it'€™s not really a secret but I do have this big thing for DeadMau5 and I would love to do something with DeadMau5. I also recently have been listening to this awesome deejay from France named Mondkopf and I think it would be really neat to collaborate with him.
Then you'€™ve toured with a lot of big names in the past when you were just starting like Boys Like Girls and Cute Is What We Aim For, obviously Owl City and a bunch of different guys. If you could pick maybe any three past bands to tour with, who would they be like on a dream package today?
Any band that I'€™ve already toured with?
Yeah any bands that you'€™ve already toured with.
There'€™s like a million on Warped Tour I don'€™t know if those all count. I would say, I mean we did a little tour with Protest The Hero. I would say them because they'€™re just such good guys and their music is so good. They'€™re so talented right? Let'€™s put this crazy tour together. It would be Protest The Hero, Keane, we toured with Keane last fall and Paper Route! That would be an awesome tour.
Then maybe what'€™s the strangest or wildest thing you'€™ve seen at one of your shows like in the crowd because you do have a really wide varied fan base. You have like the frat boys and you have like the ten year old girls so maybe what'€™s like the strangest thing you'€™ve seen at one of your shows?
I mean mosh pits have broken out before in '€œFebruary Air'€ right? Um, the hard core kids come out and butt it out in a little mosh pit. There'€™s a kid that comes out to all my shows in London wearing a banana suit and carrying maracas so that'€™s pretty sweet and he'€™s always there. There'€™s little things like that. You know there'€™s familiar faces along the way. There'€™s like this one motorcycle dude that comes out to a lot of my shows and brings me sweet motorcycle style shirts with like eagles on them. He'€™s awesome he'€™s from like the Detroit area. It'€™s weird like everything I see excites me. There'€™s never a show that'€™s just a normal show.
And then what can kids look forward to? Obviously it'€™s not a break recording a record. I'€™ve been talking to a lot of bands that are doing that as well right now.
Yeah exactly but I am going to take a little week of vacation with my family. It'€™s been years so I'€™m looking forward to that.
So do you think you'€™re going to be back on the road after the record? Going to go back right into this insane cycle? Are you going to take like your time on this record?
It'€™s a pretty consistent flow at least for the next five or six years. It'€™s going to be tour, tour, tour, record, tour, tour, tour, maybe a week with my family, tour, tour, tour, record. It'€™s very intense but it'€™s my job and it'€™s what I do and I can'€™t complain because I'€™ve been very, very blessed that I can actually do something that I really love for a living. It'€™s intense and it'€™s a lot of work and you get tired but I get to completely indulge in it and make exactly what I want to make and make the whole world listen to it.
What was the first concert you went to and then the first cassette or CD you bought?
(laughs) Okay, okay! The first concert was actually this girl called Rebecca Saint James when I was eleven and she'€™s a christian artist and it was at like a school gym or something. It was very inspiring to me. For days after I was drawing her on the computer, in pen. Like pictures of her with her hand up in the air in these really epic like silhouettes. I was really excited. In fact one of her songs, I adapted the lyrics into a short like paraphrase, translated it into german and I tattooed it on my arm so that'€™s written on my arm. She'€™s a very, very talented woman. For cassette slash tape, it was definitely a tape! It was definitely a cassette and it was, in fact, by a band called DC Talk and it was their first record which was like a rap project thing and it was really awesome.

PM Modi flags of Madurai–Chennai Egmore Tejas Express
by TFIPOST News Desk
(PC: Financial Express)
Today, PM Modi flagged off Tejas Express between Madurai and Chennai Egmore. Praising the latest Tejas Express, an achievement of 'Make in India' initiative, PM Modi said that the train will be the fastest train between the cities of Madurai and Chennai.
It is an indigenous train and has been manufactured at the Integral Coach Factory (IFC) in Chennai. Madurai–Chennai Egmore Tejas Express is a premium train offering world-class luxuries including Aircraft-like LCD infotainment screens, snack trays below the hand rest for all seats, CCTV cameras for enhanced security, motor operated sandwich-glass windows, automatic sliding coach doors, sealed gangways for easy passenger and unique LED lighting inside the bathroom mirror. The lights also have the 'Make in India' symbol.
When it comes to riding comfort, Madurai–Chennai Egmore Tejas Express can easily be ranked second only to newly launched semi-speed Vande Bharat Express also called Train 18. Moreover, the AC 1st Class Chair car coach will offer business-class like comforts. Furthermore, the sofa-style cushioned seats including footrest and reclining facility is designed to make the journey comfortable. It also includes Personalized LCD screens for onboard entertainment and USB charging points.
Coming to the scheduling and running status of the Tejas Express, Madurai–Chennai Egmore Tejas Express will run on all days in the week except Thursday. According to Indian Railways, the Madurai Junction railway station attracts thousands of pilgrims and tourists since it provides connectivity to Ramanathaswamy Temple at Rameswaram and Kodaikanal Hills.
From today onwards, Tejas Express will be the fastest train on the Madurai and Chennai Egmore route covering a distance of almost 500 kilometres 6 and a half hours. Today, the inaugural special Tejas Express, flagged off by PM Modi, left Madurai at 2:30 PM and is expected to reach Chennai Egmore at 9:15 PM. The train will have stoppage at Tiruchirappalli and Kodaikkanal Road.
The Tejas Express is a major victory for the Ministry of Railways under Piyush Goyal, who is consistently seeing to it that the service to passengers is top notch and without delay. Under Piyush Goyal, the Indian Railways has achieved several benchmarks. In terms of safety, security, comfort, and punctuality, Indian Railways is now at par with the Railway services of European nations.

Il Northern Ireland Open 2020 è stato il quinto evento professionistico della stagione 2020-2021 di snooker, il quarto Ranking, e la 5ª edizione di questo torneo, che si è disputato dal 16 al 22 novembre 2020, presso la Marshall Arena di Milton Keynes, in Inghilterra.

Il torneo è stato vinto da Judd Trump, il quale ha battuto in finale Ronnie O'Sullivan per 9-7. L'inglese si è aggiudicato così il suo terzo Northern Ireland Open, il suo quarto evento dell'Home Nations Series ed il suo 19º titolo Ranking in carriera. Per il terzo anno consecutivo si è ripetuto il medesimo esito, con tale vincitore, finalista e punteggio; l'ultimo giocatore che era riuscito a vincere per tre anni di fila lo stesso torneo (valido per la classifica) era stato Stephen Hendry, tra lo UK Championship del 1994 e quello del 1996, mentre l'ultimo finalista che ha perso per tre di fila lo stesso torneo (valido per la classifica) è stato John Higgins, tra il Campionato mondiale del 2017 e quello del 2019. Per Trump – che ha portato a casa il suo secondo evento stagionale – questa è stata l'ottava finale conquistata su undici disputate contro O'Sullivan.

Il campione in carica era Judd Trump, il quale ha confermato il titolo.

Il 18 novembre Judd Trump ha realizzato il suo quinto 147 in carriera e il primo dalle qualificazioni per il German Masters 2019; si tratta della quarta "serie perfetta" messa a segno in questa stagione.

Vigilia

Aspetti tecnici
A seguito della pandemia di COVID-19, il World Snooker Tour si è visto costretto a cancellare e posticipare eventi nel calendario, affiancando questa competizione ad altri sei tornei che hanno preso il via — senza spettatori — in questo medesimo impianto, oltre che alla Championship League, competizione che è stata giocata nella sala da ballo dello Stadium MK, struttura posta dinanzi alla Marshall Arena.

Lo stesso Northern Ireland Open, che si sarebbe dovuto disputare in Irlanda del Nord, è stato giocato in Inghilterra.

Così come per tutti gli eventi Home Nations Series il torneo è stato aperto a tutti i 128 giocatori presenti nel Ranking.

L'evento è stato sponsorizzato dalla Matchroom.Live.

È stato confermato per intero il montepremi.

Aspetti sportivi
Date le assenze di Mei Xiwen, Marco Fu, Bai Langning, Steve Mifsud e di Stephen Hendry, il World Snooker Tour ha assegnato delle wildcard a Patrick Wallace, Declan Lavery, Michael White, Brian Ochoiski e a Paul Davison in modo tale da completare il quadro dei 128 giocatori presenti.

Prima dell'inizio del torneo sono risultati positivi al COVID-19 Tian Pengfei, Riley Parsons e Declan Lavery.

Così come per le quattro precedenti edizioni questo evento ha permesso ai giocatori di guadagnare punti validi per la classifica mondiale.

Il Northern Ireland Open ha assegnato il secondo trofeo stagionale dell'Home Nations Series 2020-2021.

In quanto vincitore, Judd Trump ha avuto il diritto di partecipare al Champion of Champions 2021.

Lucy is not amused by the canine translator.
Given the fact we live with a pack of four dogs, our household is actually a pretty quiet one. There's not a lot of barking unless there's actually something to bark at and, since we live in the country, that's not much. However, there is a whole lot of talking going on. Dog talking.
I've always loved talking dogs. The moment I first picked up Lucy for a cuddle, she secured her place in my heart by talking. You know, those charming puppy grunts. Lots of them. It seemed she was trying to talk to me and tell me all about her short little life. Jeffie is a big talker. Lots of moaning, groaning, and other random comments. Rudy is more quiet, but definitely becoming a bit of a moaner with lots of his commentary directed at Lucy, whom he adores. Tucker is the quiet one around here. He tends to comment on life with harumphs, like the little old codger he is.
Yesterday my inbox contained a message about Petcentric's dog language translation tool. They have a handy canine language translator now. You type in a word and you get the translation. To tell you the truth, I've spent way too much time watching the beautiful Border Collie that is the dog doing the translating. Honestly, the dog is beautiful and, in my opinion, worth watching.
The translator is a bit of a different story.
Type a word into the sentence "I'm ________" and the Border Collie dog demonstrates the body language for that phrase. Sort of like a strange game of charades. For example, I typed in tired. The dog circled and laid down. Call me crazy but I was thinking there would be some barking. Some audio talking for my entertainment.
I'm disappointed. So are my genuine talking dogs, Lucy and Jeffie. Pardon us while we have some conversation about it.

The stage is set, all is silent. The Master smiles; again the perfect story has been formed; one that will move the hearts, minds and souls of people and change the future of all mankind. The Master has a history of perfecting all the stories based on the lives of the characters and using their children to perpetuate the next legacy of change. In the mind of the Master, it is clear that every perfect story needs a perfect main character that will shape the epic tale. Each phenomenal story places the setting as the life's journey of the main character and who better to write this narrative but the characters themselves. When that character has a child, eventually, the child will become the author as they become an adult. Due to this process, it is not usually a quick project but it is always a worthy one.
The Master begins this legend with the conception of this remarkable person into the lives of other commonly extraordinary people. Once born and during the early years of the main character's life story, it is the parents and guardians of the character who are given creative license to guide the story line; after all they are heirs to the understanding of their creator. The Master, having created many story lines with many characters, understands the importance of turning control over to the parents as they become apprentice authors of the main character's life story. It will be their personal and independent decisions which will guide direction in the character's early years but the master is never far away; reviewing and guiding the parent's thoughts, words and deeds.
As the main character reaches adulthood, the parents relinquish the writing duties to the main character while offering their editing skills as the story becomes more complicated. They remain important characters in the story and will always play a role in the main character's life story. As the main character takes control of the pen, the master's coaching is always present in the form of soft whispers of encouragement and loving guidance. Even if the parents did not introduce the Master to the main character, the master's influence as the creator is still present in everyone and everything that they experience.
Never assertive, the Master is comfortable not taking the credit for the work that goes into the creation of this masterpiece. The plan, established at the very beginning, always plays out just as the master planned. The only thing the master does not control is the drama brought into the story by the freewill of the co-authors. It is the co-authors creative license, through the decisions that they make, that creates the turmoil, excitement, happiness and the sadness in the story. With extreme and unimaginable love toward the work, the master is willing and able to motivate, teach and train each of his characters on how to become award winning authors; each living a masterpiece of epic proportion. Every author has the power to change the world envisioned in their own unique story. The decisions that they make, as author, even affects every character that they meet along the storyline they create.
We each begin our journey perfectly created by the Master, our parents and guardians take over from the creator and, as we mature, we then become the author of our destiny. We have the ability to create, edit and rewrite our story countless times while also being characters in the stories of other creations of the Master. As with every Masterpiece of art, just as the Master begins the story, so too does he have to end it. He knows when the work is complete. The characters and the co-authors do not have enough wisdom to able to write the last paragraphs; but the Master does.
Thanks to the Power of the Wisdom of Three, we are given the ability to create the beauty that the Master desires. For His part, He creates the tools needed, one of which are us, and then gives us the three gifts that come from our freewill; the ability to bring His creations together in the manner of our choosing, to do so in just the right proportions and with the freedom of artistic license. Whether it is the pen, the paper and the artist; the seed, the field and the farmer; or the lyrics, the music and the singer; each combination has potential for greatness in our personal, professional or spiritual lives. This threefold power is present in all that we do. In business the combination of the right product / service, the right personnel and enough clients in need of the product / service will always bring forth great success. Our spiritual life will always flourish when we take the time to love, honor and serve our God, our community and our self.
Only one of the three pieces that the Master created has the freewill to make this all happen.
Will the outcome of our play, work and prayer be worthy of the Master's perfect plan for this perfect creation?
Will the world that we create be better or the worst because of the decisions we make in the story line of our own Masterpiece?

Bolsa Madrid gambling operator Grupo Codere, details that it has delivered on a major directive of its ongoing digitisation strategy, as the firm migrates fully to a cloud operating system powered by Telefonica and Hewlett Packard Business Enterprise.
Updating the media and stakeholders, Codere details that all global divisions will be supported by a new 'Microsoft Azure Stack (MASaaS) operating framework, which will be maintained by Spanish telecoms giant Telefonica, within its Basque Country data centres.
Branded as a major milestone for the Spanish gambling group's 'digital makeover', Codere governance states that a new end-to-end operating solution was needed to power the firm's global profile and future growth initiatives.
Specifying the group-wide benefits of its new 'single-point MASaaS framework', Codere states that its global operations will gain a deeper agility to optimise for its multiple jurisdictional demands – significantly reducing group costs, whilst deploying end-to-end products/services faster to market.
Further all-round benefits will see, Codere support its global operations with an enhanced data capacity bolstering regional security, integrity and confidentiality provisions.
In addition, Codere's regional teams will benefit from an aligned and enhanced cloud capacity, facilitating product integrations, payment processing, data gathering and market scalability.
Miguel Ángel Prieto Hortal, Head of DevOps at Codere stated to Spanish Industry news source InfoPlay.es, that the gambling group had allocated 20% of its technology budget in developing and delivering its new MASaaS operating system.
This January, Codere governance moved to soothe investor concerns, presenting the Spanish legacy gambling group's 'Horizon 2021 – corporate transformation programme', in which the company's executive team detailed that Codere would focus on three key areas of growth – delivering a digital makeover, securing new Mexican licenses and entering/expanding within the target market of Brazil.


2 x 300 gr of puff pastry ( you can buy it or if you prefer making your own here is a simple and quick recipe for you here.
1 egg yolk + coffee sirop ( or a simple sugar sirop ) for the egg wash .
And of course a fève ( traditionally a smal ceramic statut that is hidden in the cake and the person who finds it will be crowned and if you don't have one you can use a small square of chocolate like i did .
First , mix the butter and sugar until it becomes creamy then add in the vanilla extract.
Now wisk in the egg .
Then add in the dry ingredients and mix it until having a paste like consistency .
Prepare your puff pastry and cut it into 2 x 15 cm diameter circles.
Place the filling in the center and leave at least 2 cm around the edges , brush it with some egg wash to stick the two piece of doughs together .
Put the fève and close the galette with the second dough and press it gently on the edges .
Finally , brush the egg wash on top and decorate it with a sharp knife .


With all the sophistication, we should use the internet as well as possible to provide benefits to us. One of them is by doing business using internet media. In a world that is getting familiar with e-commerce as it is today, doing business using the internet becomes a very popular thing by the community. In addition to its broader market reach, doing business using the internet can also help us communicate directly with buyers even though they are at a great distance.
Selling and buying using an online shop becomes a natural thing. Young people today are accustomed to buying goods that are only seen from the image without meeting directly with the seller. This trade culture shift also has a positive impact and negative impact, so we must be smart in maximizing positive impact and working as much as possible to minimize the negative impact of business through this online.
Not only pictures, prospective buyers also need to know about the basic specifications of the house that you sell. Before you post on the internet, first prepare basic information from your home such as land area, building area, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, and other building specifications. Loading the information as completely as possible will increase the potential buyer's confidence in you and the goods you sell. In addition, prospective buyers will also be easier in doing consideration based on information you have prepared. Wherever possible write these basic information honestly and candidly so that we are far from fraudulent attempts to prospective buyers.
After the image and basic information of your home, the next way to attract potential buyers is to list the advantages of what your home has. You can list the advantages of the house itself as a leaky roof, clean walls, newly replaced wallpaper, spacious bathrooms, and so on.
Besides going through an intermediary, you can also sell your home directly without an intermediary. First of all, the fundamental tips for marketing your home online is to try to tell as many netizens as you can about the goods you sell. One of them is to use e-commerce website, which is kind of website that is made as a medium of buying and selling online. Today there are many emerging e-commerce websites that can be trusted such as Tokopedia, OLX, Open Lapak, dll. There is nothing wrong if you advertise your home on the website.
The way this one must be the most popular way because it is free and does not have to bother. You certainly have social media that users very much like Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. Through your own social media, you can upload your home ads and pass them on to your friends. Not just friends, you can market it virally in social media. Simply upload an engaging ad with an eye-catching photo, include the basic information along with the benefits of the house, so everyone can see the ad easily.
Do not stop there, when you advertise on social media virally and large, you also need to take other approaches to potential buyers of your home. You can contact these individuals to offer your home privately. This personal bid is often successful because the approach is more focused and more involved one's emotions. It could be that the person you are offering is indeed in need of a house, or it could be that this person is interested because of the offer you provide directly. It would not hurt to try this out, by choosing approximately who's potential to become a potential buyer or potentially making your house ads more viral.

Standardization for safe global shipping
Increasing use of electronics at sea
By Morand Fachot
Carrying an estimated 90% of world trade and billions of passengers every year, international shipping represents the life blood of the global economy. Safety, always a major concern for seafarers, has made huge advances in the last century. However, the massive increase in traffic in recent decades requires, among other things, new or better communication and navigation solutions to maintain and improve safety levels. IEC TC (Technical Committee) 80: Maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems, prepares International Standards to ensure this is the case.

Early adoption across borders
Shipping was amongst the very first industries to adopt widely implemented international safety standards. These cover equipment that may break down, catch fire or explode, and systems enabling a ship's crew to chart its way, know its position, minimize risks of collisions and groundings, communicate with other vessels and shore and stay informed about weather conditions.
Because of its inherently international nature, the safety of shipping is regulated by various UN (United Nations) and other agencies.
The IMO (International Maritime Organization), the specialized UN (United Nations) agency with responsibility for the safety and security of shipping and the prevention of marine pollution by ships, has developed a comprehensive framework of global maritime safety regulations which are enforced on a worldwide basis. Of particular importance is the IMO International SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) Convention. TC 80 cooperates with IMO and prepares standards for maritime electronic navigation and communication equipment and systems.
Delegating standardization
There is a need for international agreement on standards in the shipping industry so as to avoid duplication and eliminate unnecessary barriers to trade as well as to ensure it is carried out safely, predictably and as freely as possible.
IMO does not generally produce detailed technical and test standards for maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems. Therefore, in agreement with IMO, TC 80 has adopted the role of producing these for maritime electronic navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems.
From Morse code to satellite communication
Communication with ships was actually the first application of radio at the end of the 19th century. Ships started installing radio equipment for the ship's operations and gradually these also came to be used for distress and safety purposes.
The distress and safety system relied on wireless telegraphy using Morse code, the earliest and most famous example being the distress message sent from the Titanic exactly 100 years ago. Morse code was phased out 15 years ago in favour of a new system developed by the IMO called GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System). This uses radio and satellite communication and equipment that enable ships to be able to communicate with shore stations from anywhere at sea and at any time. GMDSS requirements form part of SOLAS, making GMDSS an essential tool for SAR (search and rescue).
For centuries, ships have relied on nautical charts and instruments such as compasses, astrolabes or sextants for safe navigation and positioning. Electronic equipment such as radars and sonars were introduced from the 1930s, initially on naval ships, to provide data on distance to and from other ships and shores and on navigational depth.
In recent years, significant changes have been phased in to the navigation equipment carried by ships. They now carry and rely upon improved radar equipment and automatic position fixing provided by satellite navigation systems. This year also sees the start of a phase-in programme for the mandatory carriage of electronic charts in the form of an IMO system called ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System), a computer-based navigation information system that can be used instead of paper nautical charts and integrates information from satellites.
The first edition of IEC standards for ECDIS, IEC 61174, was published in 1998; it is now on its third edition, reflecting the increased experience of its use in the field and detailed changes to IMO's requirements. ECDIS is not only changing fundamentally the way that ships are navigating but has also highlighted the change in equipment on the ship's bridge. The equipment is becoming highly complex and software-dominated. The products require updates, with due attention being given to their update status.
The mandatory carriage of ECDIS is certainly highlighting the issues of software maintenance to the many shipping companies who still have a 'fit-and-forget' attitude to bridge equipment.
The IHO (International Hydrographic Organization), an intergovernmental organization representing the hydrographic community, recently updated its standard for electronic navigation charts and will complete work on the next generation of standards for electronic navigation chart databases in the next few years. This will lead to more changes in TC 80 standards for ECDIS and presentation of charted information.
To see and be seen
An AIS (Automatic Identification System) has been introduced which allows ships to provide information about them automatically to other ships and to coastal authorities.
Regulations that come into force at the beginning of July this year require that AIS be fitted aboard all new build passenger ships of 300 GT (gross tonnage) and upwards and to new cargo ships of 500 GT and upwards. In both cases, the regulations apply to ships engaged on international voyages.
Voyage data recorders, comparable to the so-called black boxes found on commercial aircraft, have been installed to record and protect ship data and voice recordings which can be recovered and analysed after an accident.
This year sees the start of a phase-in programme for the carriage of a BNWAS (Bridge Navigational Watch Alarm System) designed to ensure that the bridge team is alert to the task and has not become incapacitated in any way. Automation of ship functions has resulted in ships carrying fewer and fewer crew; even large ships may now be crewed by as few as 13 personnel.
Recent and active TC
IEC TC 80 was set up in 1980 and has produced some 50 standards so far, not only supporting IMO requirements, but also for more general ship and shore applications. They also enable interoperability of equipment on different types of vessels which share the same radio spectrum and enable the interconnection of equipment on a vessel for the exchange of data.
The TC's objective is to publish standards that gain international acceptance as suitable for type approval where this is required by the SOLAS Convention and ITU (International Telecommunication Union) certification when required.
By being represented in both IMO and ITU, TC 80 is able to influence the performance and technical content of those agencies' work. This is invaluable to manufacturing industry, in that the performance and technical standards represent the practical state of the current and emerging technology.
State-of-the-art systems for high-value assets
Ships are technically very sophisticated, high value assets (larger hi-tech vessels, like cruise ships, can cost over USD 500 million to build), and one of the fundamental trends in the maritime industry has been an increasing reliance on electrical and electronic technologies for navigation and communication. These technologies have moved well out of the mechanical era of the magnetic and gyro compass and into the electronic and information age. The bridge of a ship is now a dense concentration of navigation, communication and machinery control equipment, all of which has to work together.
Around 6% of the whole ship manufacturing cost is attributable to the navigation and communication equipment in the vessel. This gives a world market size of USD 1,7 billion for merchant ships, of USD 0,5 billion for fishing vessels and of USD 1,3 billion for pleasure craft.
Future trends improving collaboration
The major trend in technology is an increasing focus on improving collaboration within the bridge team, between the bridge team and pilot and with shore-side sources of information. Associated with this is the development of smarter interfaces between navigation sensors and bridge workstation applications. This is leading to new developments for data transfer via LAN (Local Area Networks) and for Bridge Alert Management for handling alarms.
Changes introduced by ITU in radio-frequency allocations and maximum acceptable levels of out-of-band emissions are promoting development of navigation radars not based on pulsed-magnetron designs.
IMO has now embarked on a major programme called e-navigation. This is intended to integrate existing and new navigational tools, in particular electronic tools, in an all-embracing system that will contribute to enhanced navigational safety and operational efficiency while simultaneously reducing the burden on the navigator and taking account of environmental issues
For safer sailing in the future
TC 80 expects to see a significant increase in new standards development and liaison activity. This will be driven by the increased mid-ocean coverage of broadband satellite communications, new capabilities of satellite systems in low earth orbit, the potential of eLoran (enhanced electronic navigation) as an affordable alternative technology backup to satellite navigation systems for position/time reference, and by the potential offered by digital radio for cooperative-use of the radio frequency spectrum.
TC 80 will continue to support IMO with the development of new or updated standards for ship bridge equipment and systems and for such systems as GMDSS, AIS, shipborne equipment forLRIT (long-range identification and tracking). Work is currently under way on updating existing standards and preparing more than a dozen standards across all these systems.
This busy workload for the coming years and beyond will ensure shipping becomes even safer.

CHICAGO -- A 12-year-old girl was murdered in the Sheridan Park neighborhood in what appears to be a domestic dispute.
The girl, initially reported as 13-years-old, has been identified as 12-year-old Alexis Stubbs. She was stabbed and beaten to death at an apartment building on the 4600 north block of Beacon street, Sunday night.
Police have someone in custody in relation to the murder. It is suspected to be a boyfriend, or ex-boyfriend of Stubbs' mother but has not yet been confirmed. Sources tell WGN the person in custody served time for domestic battery.
Stubbs died after being attacked with a knife and a hammer.
Chicago police are trying to determine the circumstances that led to the attack.
Staff at the apartment building where she lived believe cameras caught her beating and murder. Grief counselors have been brought in to help the community cope with the loss.


Kerry TD Michael Healy Rae spoke in the Dáil today about about the shooting dead of five cattle in Monaghan.
INDEPENDENT TD MICHAEL Healy-Rae has called the shooting of cattle by army marksmen a "disgraceful despicable act".
The people that were involved who ordered the people to pull the trigger they're a disgrace, not the people who shot the gun but the people who gave the order. Shame on them.
Minister Bruton responded to Healy-Rae saying such a situation is a "last resort" as part of a containment strategy.
On Tuesday members of the Defence Forces shot dead five cows at a farm in Monaghan.
A security detail made up of the Army and gardaí were accompanying a debt collector onto the property.
The animals were shot as they were out of control and had access to a public roadway – posing a potential hazard.
It is understood that the culled animals were suffering from TB.
Commenting on the culling, a spokesperson for the Defence Forces said that its role was to assist gardaí in carrying out their work.
An official request was received from An Garda Siochána requesting the assistance of the Defence Forces concerning the emergency culling of animals in the Carrickmacross area.
"On Tuesday 5 July 2016 the Defence Forces carried out the humane destruction of five animals on a farm in Co Monaghan due to a significant concern for public safety.
"This operation was carried out at the request of the official assignee responsible for the herd, in conjunction with An Garda Síochána, the Department of Agriculture, Food & Marine and the Defence Forces, in keeping with official protocol.

In honor of Cinco de Mayo next week I give you luchador masks! These are so easy and fun to make, your kids will have a blast with them. Especially if they like Nacho Libre. Which we do. Doesn't Elliott have some mad skills? He loves showing off his muscles. A real luchador mask would cover the whole face, but I think the half version is better for kids. And the best part? You most likely already have everything you would need to make some of your own. So let's get started!
First step! Take a paper plate and cut it in half.
Next, grab your choice of duct tape and lay strips of tape to cover the plate.
Trim the excess tape along the edges of the plate. You can use scissors or an xacto knife.
This part is important! Cut some slits into the edges of the plate evenly spaced. This will let you fold it over and mold it a little around your kid's face.
If you need the mask to fit a smaller face, you can fold the slits over each other and hot glue them in place. I tried this for Elliott but ended up having to undo it since he's got a big noggin.
Cut out your eyes with an xacto knife. Keep the part you cut out!
Use the cut out eyes as a guide to make some fancy detailing around the eyes on the mask. Just lay a strip of tape down on the cutting mat and cut away!
Now grab a hole punch and punch holes on each side of the mask. Try and make them as even as possible. Then tie on some colorful string.
And you are done! If you want, you can cut out a nose hole too. Just use some scissors or your xacto knife. I thought Elliott wouldn't mind having his nose covered by the mask, but he did.


The Ultima Thule Lodge offers you two extremes—though extremes of the best kind possible. This unique and private lodge is one of the most luxurious places to stay in Alaska—they've hosted both the rich and famous—but it's also tucked inside the vast wilds of the nation's largest, and most remote, national park. Second generation hosts, Paul and Donna Claus (he an internationally revered bush pilot, she a retired ski racer and first class chef) offer a personalized, bush-safari experience that is equal parts plush splendor and authentic adventure.

Americans create an analogue of the Russian "Hunter"
The American company Lockheed Martin has released a video about the development of a promising unmanned aerial vehicle, which is designed to eventually replace the MQ-9 Reaper drone. In fact, the drone will become an analogue of the Russian S-70 Okhotnik UAV.
The video demonstrates the operation of a reconnaissance and strike drone with an F-35 fighter. The new UAV will be able to both point the aircraft at targets and carry out independent bombing. Outwardly, the device resembles the Russian drone "Hunter", which will be put into service in the Russian Federation in a year.
The unmanned aerial vehicle being created will be equipped with a turboprop engine and will be able to reach speeds of up to 400 km/h, cruising speed will be about 250 km/h. According to General Atomics, the drone will have an operating time of about 27 hours, an action ceiling of 15 km, and a payload of 1740 kg with six suspension points. At the same time, the drone created according to the "flying wing" scheme will differ from many modern UAVs.
As for the Russian Okhotnik, its maximum speed at low altitude is about 1400 km / h, the practical ceiling reaches 18 km, the combat load of the drone is up to 2,5 tons (according to other sources - up to 8 tons). The flight range of the "Hunter" is about 6 thousand km.
Meanwhile, the US plans to continue using its MQ-9 Reaper UAVs. In particular, the supply of American drones was discussed in Kyiv, but NATO prohibits its members from selling such a military machinery countries outside the Western bloc.

The turboprop engine on this drone? Invisibility will suffer, unless a multi-bladed propeller is hidden inside the fuselage, something like an impeller. Good idea, only there will be maneuverability problems associated with ensuring the normal operation of this propulsion unit. How is a shock fit, if maneuvering with already medium overloads, then a problem.

write some nonsense.
The speed of the Cornmaker - will it interact with the F35?
IMHO, in pursuit of victory, someone just mixed up the old TX.
There are already a bunch of types of flying wing drones in Omerik, so there's no need to develop anything special. Take the nearest one, but change what you need.

Part of Film 2018 series Beyond the Canon 2018
Dir. F. Gary Gray.
With Jada Pinkett Smith, Queen Latifah, Vivica A. Fox
1996, 124min, 35mm
A quartet of brilliant black actresses get an all-too-rare chance to shine in this female-powered heist thriller, in which four struggling women stick it to the man by pulling a string of bank robberies. With action sequences that pack an impressive jolt, Friday director F. Gary Gray adds a pointed layer of racial and class commentary by delving into the circumstances that drive each woman to life as an outlaw.
Dir. Sidney Lumet
With Al Pacino, John Cazale, Penelope Allen
On a sweltering August day, novice criminals Sonny (Pacino) and Sal (Cazale) attempt to rob a Brooklyn bank, a situation that spirals into a tense police standoff and a three-ring media circus. Sidney Lumet's NYC classic contains the definitive Pacino performance—wired, unpredictable—and flavorful footage of summer-in-the-city 70s Brooklyn: you can practically feel the heat rising from the rubble.
Beyond the Canon—Set It Off + Dog Day Afternoon
Sidney Lumet's Dog Day Afternoon (1975) and F. Gary Gray's Set It Off (1996) occupy a similar position as transgressors. Both hijack the generic heist program, subverting the conventions that gave it its solid and enduringly fertile structure.

Disney Studio Chief Alan Horn Sets Post-Fox Leadership Following Layoffs
After upending the senior leadership ranks at 20th Century Fox on Thursday, Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn has set the reporting structure going forward for the combined film studios.

After upending the senior leadership ranks at 20th Century Fox on Thursday, Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn and top lieutenant Alan Bergman have set the reporting structure going forward for the combined movie studios.
Horn also officially revealed that films from 20th Century Fox will be released under that banner, one that will now live alongside Lucasfilm, Marvel Studios, Disney live-action, Disney Animation and Pixar in the Disney stable, all of which are overseen by Horn and Bergman.
"At the core of The Walt Disney Studios is the world-class content we produce — from unforgettable experiences for the screen and stage, to stories and characters that find their way into the hearts and homes of fans everywhere," Horn said in a statement.
"Bringing together the legacies, talent, and capabilities of Disney and Fox greatly expands our ability to create a wide range of transportive storytelling experiences for audiences the world over, and we are thrilled to get to work together," he continued, adding that that Fox Family will move under the purview of Emma Watt's 20th Century division, while Fox 2000 will be shuttered at the end of the year.
It was a dramatic day on the Fox lot in Century City, where at least a dozen top film executives were handed pink slips one day after the Walt Disney Co.'s $71.3 billion acquisition of a large swath of 21st Century Fox closed. The surgical extraction means that there won't be duplicative positions in the upper ranks.
Marketing and distribution appeared to be hit the hardest: President of worldwide marketing Pamela Levine, co-president of marketing Kevin Campbell and chief content officer Tony Sella are all out. Their staffs will now report to Disney marketing chief Asad Ayaz, who handled the campaigns for a slew of blockbusters, including Captain Marvel.
Fox's domestic and international teams will now report to Disney's Cathleen Taff, who was elevated to distribution chief in May 2018. Her counterparts at 20th Century — domestic distribution president Chris Aronson and international distribution president Andrew Cripps — are both leaving.
Layoffs Begin at 20th Century Fox After Disney Deal Closes
It's not clear how many employees of 20th Century will be offered permanent jobs at Disney once the transition is completed. On Thursday, some staffers were told they would be kept on for at least three months; others, six months. All are entitled to severance should they be let go.
Disney closed its historic takeover of the Fox film and TV studio, FX and National Geographic cable channels, Star India, 30 percent of Hulu and more just after midnight ET on Wednesday, and layoffs have been expected ever since. Disney chairman and CEO Bob Iger at the time of closing said the deal would "create significant long-term value for our company and our shareholders."
Disney said prior to the close that it was eyeing $2 billion in annual cost savings by 2021, and observers presumed much of that would come by way of layoffs.
Other senior Fox film execs let go on Thursday include: executive vp corporate communications Dan Berger; executive vp legal affairs and executive vp Fox Stage productions Bob Cohen; president of product strategy and consumer business development Mike Dunn; chief data strategist Julie Rieger; chief technology officer Hanno Basse; and senior vp media promotions Michelle Marks.
It was previously known that outgoing 20th Century Fox film chairman-CEO Stacey Snider would not join Disney.
Instead, Disney tapped Watts — who is 20th Century Fox vice chairman — to guide the Fox film slate. She will retain the same title.
Fox Searchlight co-chairmen Steve Gilula and Nancy Utley have also joined Disney.
Elizabeth Gabler's Fox 2000 was also slated to join Disney for the long term, but in an 11th hour twist, those plans have changed.
