2020 BMW G 310 Twins Spotted Testing in India
BMW Motorrad is readying an updated version of its entry-level motorcycles, the G 310 R and G 310 GS. Both will be introduced globally later this year. The BS6 BMW G 310 twins have been spotted testing in India. The test mule that was caught on camera wears no camouflage whatsoever.
While there were speculations about the bikes getting a mid lifecycle refresh, the latest spy images from India and previously Europe, confirm this development and reveal a host of changes to the upcoming 2020 G310 Twins. The video of the bikes spotted testing has been uploaded on YouTube in two parts.
The latest spy shots of the 2020 BS6 BMW G310 twins reveal a new LED headlamp and cosmetic upgrades to the street naked motorcycle. The other big change will be a BS6/Euro5 compliant engine. For the uninitiated, the G310 twins are locally assembled at TVS' Hosur manufacturing facility and share its powertrains and platform with the Indian manufacturer's flagship Apache RR310.
The 2020 BMW G 310 R naked streetfighter and G 310 GS adventure tourer first surfaced in Europe earlier this year. Their presence in India suggests that BMW is not far from putting them into production. Like in most cases, the lockdown could cause a delay of a few weeks.
The 2020 BS6 BMW G310 twin spy images reveal a redesigned headlamp unit and a revised digital instrument console as well. The overall shape of the headlamp unit remains the same, but the cluster sports a new design for a sharper look. The side panels are new as well and relay a sense of sportiness to the bike, compared to the current version that looks all sobered up.
Watch Video Part 1:
For the G310 GS, the matte black colour of the test mule looks quite good on the dual-sport motorcycle. While it isn't very clear in the spy pictures, it seems that the body panels of the more eco-friendly G 310 GS have been tweaked for a sportier look. Also, the beak of the ADV appears to be narrower than that of the BS4 model. The forthcoming BMW G 310 GS would also feature a set of new LED indicators along with a slightly reworked exhaust.
The updated G 310 R features new LED headlamps in addition to revised fuel tank extensions and radiator shrouds. Rest of the motorcycle has been carried forward more or less untouched. Overall, the 2021 BMW G 310 R looks sharper than before. The G 310 R also continues to offer an aggressive riding posture, while the G 310 GS differentiates itself with the raised handlebar and a small windscreen.
Both the motorcycles will retain their original characteristics, although they will be slightly heavier. The BMW G 310 R and the G 310 GS continue to sport gold-finished forks at the front and a mono-shock unit at the rear. Other cycle parts including the disc brakes at both ends and dual-channel ABS will be carried over.
Powertrain & Transmission
Both the BMW G 310 twins are powered by a 313 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine which produced output figures of 34 PS and 28 Nm in its BS4 form. The updated bikes will use a BS6 version of the same mill. The power and torque outputs are likely to be more or less the same. It will be paired to a 6-speed manual gearbox. Like the RR 310, BMW's bikes could also feature riding modes, a slipper clutch and ride-by-wire.

In their BS4 form, the G 310 GS and the G 310 R were retailed at an ex-showroom price of Rs 3.49 lakh and Rs 2.99 lakh. The BMW G310R competes with the likes of Honda CB300R and KTM 390 Duke but is more expensive than both of them and as for the BMW G310 GS, its direct competitor is the KTM Adventure 390. We can expect the BMW G 310 twins to be available at the markets by September this year.

Gale Decker not hired as Ronan cross-country coach
Daniel Martynowicz
Board members have a brief discussion moments before the special board meeting on Decker's rehire.
Last Updated: 10/14/2013 1:49:59 PM | By Daniel Martynowicz
RONAN — Ronan School District No. 30 trustees voted 5-2 against hiring Lake County Superintendent of Schools Gale Decker as Ronan High School's assistant cross-country coach.
In an hour and a half special board meeting Aug. 6, Decker began by reading a lengthy statement regarding his proposed rehire and attempts to get on the board's agenda.
"I will admit that when I was not re-hired last year, it was a shock ... the message I was given was that my non-rehiring was not reflective of my coaching, but of my relationship with the board," he said.
In fact, his coaching was never brought into question by any board members or those in attendance at the meeting. On the contrary, several of Decker's colleagues and past athletes spoke on his behalf as a coach.
Decker's tension with the board seemed to go back many years, and while most board members agreed the decision was not about his coaching ability, they would not go into detail about past events, in an apparent effort to avoid rehashing old arguments.
"I would like to be able to clear the air, but I can't do that without casting Mr. Decker in a bad light, and that's not something I'm interesting in doing," board chair Chris Lynch said.
Trustee Carmel Couture said the decision was made for the general health of the staff rather than on Decker's coaching credentials, but stressed that the vote was not personal.
"I have nothing against Mr. Decker himself," she said. "I've been stressed about it for a week, and after the vote I thought I'd feel better, but I don't. I hope we didn't lose the trust in the community; I hope they trust that we're making the right decision, even though they don't see the whole picture."
Ronan schools superintendent Andy Holmlund, while he is not on the board and did not cast a vote, said coaches are employees of the district and he believes the basis for the decision was a breakdown in the employee-employer relationship.
Decker has submitted a volunteer application to continue working with the cross-country team. The application was denied by the high school principal, and is awaiting an appeal by superintendent Holmlund. Should Holmlund veto this appeal, the volunteer application would again go before the board. Decker does not believe the board would uphold the appeal, but says he's not done with the situation.
"Obviously I'm not happy with the board's decision," Decker said. "If it comes to legal action, that's the route I'll go."
Decker agreed that the board's decision was not based on his coaching, and believes it stemmed from comments and statements he'd made in past public meetings.
"We're a community here, and we all need to get along to make this work," Holmlund said. "I've lost sleep over this. The unfortunate truth is that it will divide people as I'm trying to bring everyone together and gear up for another school year."

NLST Stock Soars on Court Win Over Google, What's Next?
By Pete Johnson
After a massive win in court, NLST stock is still up 20% from last week. According to a press release, a U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California is granting Netlist's summary judgment. As a result, Netlist (Nasdaq: NLST) can follow through with its legal battle with Google's parent company, Alphabet (Nasdaq: GOOGL).
The news is significant for Netlist after an over-decade-long battle with the tech giant. Furthermore, it gives Netlist the ability to pursue other intellectual property (IP) cases. With this in mind, investors are anxiously awaiting the next steps.
After bursting out of penny stock territory (under $5), NLST shares are falling back, just below the $5 mark. Is now the time to buy NLST stock? Keep reading to learn why the court ruling is significant and what to expect next.
Why the Win Is Big for Netlist
Receiving a favorable court order for its patent breach case against Google is a big step in finally holding the tech giant responsible. As a result of the ruling, Netlist will proceed with its case under a narrower time frame.
Netlist's CEO, C.K Hong, says, "We now look forward to a complete discovery of Google's make and use infringing products over this period, and bringing this case before a jury as soon as possible."
The firm believes its patent ('912) will stand, as you can find its teachings in various memory products. With this in mind, the court set a case management meeting for June 23.
To clarify, Netlist now has a major advantage over Google in court. On top of this, it can provide fuel for Netlist to win other court battles. After battling over IP rights since 2009, there may finally be light at the end of the tunnel.
For this reason, it's no wonder Netlist stock is up this past week while the rest of the market is in the deep red.
What Does Netlist Do?
Netlist plays a critical role in the computer memory industry. The firm has a long history of disrupting industries with high-performance memory devices.
For example, Netlist was the first to bring NAND flash to the market, a superior storage device capable of storing data without power. Furthermore, the company's HyperCloud DIMMs (HCDIMMs) reduce power usage while boosting run speed.
And finally, Netlist's latest product HybriDIMM is an industry first with unrivaled storage and memory speed.
However, Netlist's biggest claim to fame is its portfolio of patents. The company licenses its portfolio of IP with patents on several of its products to sell to other firms. So, you can see why the court order is a big deal for Netlist. Not to mention the advantage it gives them over one of the biggest companies in the world.
How Will This Effect NLST Stock?
We are seeing a glimpse of how investors are reacting to the news. Despite all major indexes falling over the past five days, NLST stock is still up over 20% on heavy volume.
Compared to Netlist's average daily volume of 400,000, buyers stepped in when the news was released, bidding the price up.
May 5: 1.6 million (3.75X)
However, the positive news cannot help NLST stock escape the market selloff. Netlist shares are fading since reaching a high of $6.65 on Friday.
As you can see, the news is a huge deal. Even more, the information is still in process. So, there's still time to buy NLST stock.
Moreover, the ruling grants Netlist's motion for summary judgment. To clarify, Netlist still has a few steps before the case closes. But Netlist just won a big battle in the war with Google.
All things considered, NLST stock is still down 54% from its highs over $10 a share. Can it claim an ATH with new momentum?
For one thing, the court date is not until June 23, giving over a month for investors to accumulate. Then, depending on the outcome, NLST stock will likely see another big move.
A Growth Story
Even though earnings season has been disappointing so far, Netlist is still growing rapidly. The firm's top line shows accelerating growth in the first quarter.
Revenue: $50.2 million compared to $14.9 million Q1 2021.
Gross Profit: $3.4 million compared to $1.5 million Q1 2021.
With new product releases and IP rights, the memory leader is finally gaining momentum. In fact, Netlist's revenue has now grown over 160% YOY for the past four quarters. Not only that, but gross profit is also accelerating.
That said, gross profit more than doubled from last year. With this in mind, NLST stock is starting to look cheaper by some measures.
For example, sales and revenue multiples are close to half that of last quarter. Similarly, Price-to-Book is 18.8 compared to 65.9 a year ago. On top of this, Price-to-Sales (P/S) is at 5.3X compared to 9.9.
At the same time, the company posted a net loss of $5.8 million compared to $4 million in Q1 2021. So, in terms of earnings, Netlist is more expensive by some means. For instance, Trailing Price-to-Earnings (P/E) is currently over 300, which is relatively high.
In comparison, last quarter's Trailing P/E was 129, and Q3 2021 was 70. In other words, Netlist is making more money, but they are also spending more.
Although the company is generating more money, the expenses are adding up. The cost of sales rose close to 250%, from 13K in Q1 2021 to over 46K this quarter.
NLST Stock Forecast: What to Expect Next
Netlist has a big opportunity ahead of it. With a court decision coming next month and earnings accelerating, investors hope for a brighter future. Will they beat Google at their own game and finally claim their fair share?
If this is the case, NLST stock has a long way to run, with several gaps in the way. Netlist shares ran 30% in one day after winning a summary judgment against Samsung. With several summary judgments now, will we see further upside?
Netlist is redefining its business as demand for data is boosting memory sales. A few big court wins could boost sales while positioning the company for future growth.
At the same time, growth stocks and higher-risk companies are selling off right now as investors look to de-load risk. With the Federal Reserve tightening policy to tame the overheated economy, it looks to be a difficult year for growth.
Then again, companies are rapidly transitioning to the cloud and digital services. All of which require some sort of memory. Netlist looks to be positioning itself to capture the emerging trend.

When carrying out a remodeling job, it is necessary to hire a contractor from a construction company. Construction companies can handle any kind of remodeling job such as kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, living room remodeling etc. Repairs may be necessary in a home and this is why one may need to hire a construction company. When one requires additions to their house, they can get the assistance of a construction company. Construction companies can do small projects as well as large projects because they have the experience. Construction companies help clients to upgrade homes to luxurious homes for clients.
Clients who have a specific idea for their remodel, normally share their ideas with construction company contractors who are able to come up with a plan that can realize the client's vision. The contractors also have to understand the expectations of clients for a remodeling or repair job so that they can be able to achieve good results. Through the gallery that one will find in the website of a construction company, a client can get ideas on a suitable design for a remodel. Some construction companies focus on particular styles and one can be able to see this from their gallery. It is always better to compare different companies before selecting a suitable construction company and one can look at their galleries to select ideas that they want implemented.
In case one needs to personalize some of the designs that one will see at a gallery, one will need to be clear with the contractor so that the contractor can understand what they want for their remodel. Structural revisions and home additions require the expertise of engineers and when one hires a construction company they normally come with their own engineers to help with the process of the revisions. Construction companies should have licenses to operate in an area and this is one of the things that a client should confirm before hiring them. One should also ensure that the contractors have proper training for their job so that they will be able to give quality work.
One of the ways to establish whether a construction company is suitable for one's project is to find out whether they have a good reputation with some of the clients that they have worked with in the past. One should find out about the cost of hiring a construction company for a project so that one will know whether they can be able to afford to hire the services of a company. Construction companies which have professional staff are the kind of people that one should choose to work with on a project. A client and a company have different roles to play and this is why they need to put their agreement in a contract so that they will both deliver on their roles.

Research Spotlight on Replanting Decisions
Scott Tubbs, cropping systems agronomist with the University of Georgia in Tifton, Georgia, focuses his research efforts on peanut agronomic research. He initiated several trials to assess replant decisions in peanuts. Through his research he is assessing what is the original plant population and at what point does it trigger a replant decision for a farmer based on that original plant population. He has tried several different methods of replanting that could include replanting by planting next to the original row or wiping out the original row completely and just starting over with an entire new replant for the full field being a maximum seeding rate.
In one trial in Tifton, Georgia, Tubbs has a replant trial where he is only replanting the initial gap in the field by forcing a two foot, four foot or six foot gap in the row where the original plants were pulled out of the ground and then replanting that either in that gap or replanting the entire row. This can make it easier on the equipment and the driver to not have to assess where the gaps occur but the final phase of this project will be to hopefully use equipment where Tubbs can assess the gaps in the row while the machinery is moving through the field and only replant the sections of row that need to be replanted based on the research that he has for yield drag, for a length of gap and the potential to improve grade as well.
The replant trials have multiple phases and locations including one in Plains, Georgia at the Southwest Georgia Research and Education Center. The research projects in Plains this year are in phase 2 where they are assessing only the yield drag alone in the length of gap. In those trials, Tubbs has one foot, two foot and three foot gaps in the row after the initial planting by forcing and pull thinning those plants out to force those gaps in the row and those gaps of one, two, and three foot occur either twice or three times in each 40-foot row. So essentially, the plots end with nine feet out of 40 feet of row missing from the field or roughly very close to a 25 percent stand decline from what the original plant stand could be, but that research by itself does not assess the replant decision.
That's where our phase three project comes into play in Tifton this year where we are not only removing the gaps but we're also replanting the gaps in the gap alone or with a full row replant so there are multi phases to this project that occur over time and in multiple locations, Tubbs says. The ultimate goal of this research is to help farmers assess a plant stand in the field and determine whether that plant stand is either uniform enough to leave alone or if it is spotty enough to require a replant decision, to helping them improve either yield or grade or hopefully both.
The research by Tubbs goes into more than just replant decisions. Some of his work focuses on rotations, how many years between peanut and how does that affect the plant when it grows in the field. Shorter rotations have a tendency to increase disease and nematode issues on peanut and can cause issues with herbicide resistance with weeds. Tubbs is also focusing some of his research on inoculants and inoculate formulations, when to use inoculants, how much benefit do we get from inoculants either in short rotations versus long rotations. He has also focused some research effort on tillage research conservation or conventional tillage research and seeding rates.

It is interesting to see in one and the same day Russia failing to sell its 9-year government bonds, while Portugal marking an enormous demand and record low interest rates. Russia is a country with a debt of less than 10% of GDP with balanced budget in most of previous years. At the same time Portugal is defaulted country with constant deficits and a debt of 130% of GDP. It had to be bailouted very soon.
There is a principle that "market knows all". So when investors prefer one investment to another so the first investment is better. Therefore Portugal with 130% debt is better than Russia with 10% debt.
May be someone will point to the currency and say that Euro is better than Ruble so it is more secure to invest in Euro-assets. But in fact in last few years Russian fiscal and monetary policy was more conservative than the policy of EU and USA. As the currency stability is a function of government policy therefore Euro cannot be more attractive than Ruble. This does not mean you should invest in Rubles. Like any other fiat-currency it is also very risky and may lead to big losses in a short time. The thesis is about comparing one with other. You cannot run away from the Ruble and run towards the Euro. You can run towards the Gold or real estate for instance.
So why Russia is bad and Portugal is good? Why heavily indebted borrower is preferred to a borrower with almost no debt? Obviously something is wrong with the markets. Obviously the market no longer knows all.
I am looking for an investor that will lend Portugal money at 3,65% interest. This return must include the expected profit plus the risk premium on not getting your money back. Is that real?
And is Putin with his wild capitalism policy and accelerating industrial rebuilding of Russia so bad and so risky? Is Putin – being obviously a winner in Ukraine crisis, the bad choice for investing?
In past the investors believed the winners. Rothshild has made lots of money by knowing first who won the Waterloo battle. In the times of real money and real business investors thought rationally and invested in good and reliable assets. Today they are investing in extremely risky assets and even without asking the required return.
Therefore these are not real investors. In fact that is the truth. The investor is only one and is using not his own money. In fact he is printing the money and having no any responsibility is investing in "politically right" assets.
If you are not this issuer of money, it is may be better to invest in Russia. You can profit even by current emotional lowering of the asset prices there.

Was Ronda Rousey just a cultural phenomenon created by the media?
I'll never tell, but that's a take being offered up by former UFC contender Chael Sonnen.
Reacting to those comments on ESPN Radio with Dan Le Batard, Holm says Rousey deserves credit for even garnering that media attention in the first place.
"I think she was really able to run though people, though," Holm said of Rousey. "She was kind of able to run through the girls in the division, but yes, everybody is beatable. I knew that. I'm not as bold as Chael to go out and say that. There was media around her but she was able to go in and take care of these girls so I hate to say that she's all hype. That's not what it is.

The well known White Screen of Death is one of the most common, yet most frustrating things that can occur on your WordPress site.
In this tutorial, we'll be looking at the various things that cause it, and some steps that you can take not only to fix it, but to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Please note, that before making any changes to your site, you should do a full backup of your files and database.
So, without further ado, let's get going with the first method.
This is the most common cause for the white screen to appear, and is also the simplest the solve. Chances are, you installed a dodgy plugin that is conflicting with your other plugins or theme, and so we need to determine which the culprit is, and see if we can fix that white screen!
In the navigation bar on the left of your WordPress dashboard, click the "Plugins" link.
If you've recently installed a plugin, disable that one first. This will usually solve the white screen issue straight away and you can continue using your site as normal.
If you're still reading this, it means that you haven't been successful in solving the issue. You should now try deactivating all of your site's plugins. You can do this by selecting the first tick-box, just above the list, and then selecting 'Deactivate' from the the drop-down menu.
Confirm the deactivation of your plugins, and then check the front-end of your site to see if the white screen has gone. If it has, congratulations; you can stop reading. If not, re-enable your plugins and read on.
Without access to the dashboard, you'll need to connect to your site's server via either an FTP connection, or using your site's Control Panel and navigating to the File Manager (or the like).
Navigate over to the wp-content directory of your WordPress site and rename the plugins folder to something different, like plugins-old or plugins-temp.
Every plugin will now have been deactivated, so you can now try to reload your site, hopefully without the white screen. If that hasn't worked, you'll need to revert the name of the folder back to plugins and re-activate your plugins once the site is working normally again.
Connect to your FTP server or File Manager in your hosting panel, and navigate to the root directory of your WordPress site.
This number can be changed depending on what your server can handle with. Don't be greedy though, as increasing this number too high for your server can cause other issues.
Save the file and refresh your site. If it's working now, then you can continue working on your site. If not, bad luck, and continue reading this tutorial.
Like above, connect to your FTP server or File Manager in your hosting panel, and navigate to the root directory of your WordPress site.
If you don't have access to this file, you can create it in the root directory of your WordPress site.
Save the changes, and try to load your site. You should note that the maximum amount of memory a script can handle is 64MB, so don't try and increase this number above that.
Every WordPress site has an .htaccess file, so to try and solve the white screen issue, connect to your FTP server or File Manager in your hosting panel, and navigate to the root directory of your WordPress site.
Refresh the front-end of your site again, and see if it's working again. If so, you're awesome, and if not, continue reading this tutorial!
Navigate to the Themes manager, by selecting Appearance > Themes from the menu on the left-hand side of the WordPress admin area.
Activate one of the default WordPress themes, such as Twenty Fourteen, or Twenty Thirteen.
Refresh your site, and see if the white screen issue is still occurring.
This is considerably harder than doing it via the WordPress admin area, but if you've not got a choice (or you're up for a challenge), then listen up!
Connect to your site's server via FTP or your hosting's File Manager and confirm that you've got one of the default WordPress themes uploaded to your server.
Now, open up 'phpMyAdmin' via your hosting panel and navigate to the wp_options table in the database.
Scroll through the pages of options until you find 'template' and 'stylesheet'. These should both be replaced with the title of the directory of the theme you want to revert to. In this case, it'd be either 'twentyfourteen' or 'twentythirteen'.
Refresh your site's front-end, and hope for the best.
Connect to your site's server via FTP or your hosting's File Manager and navigate to the root directory of your WordPress site.
Refresh your site and you should now see some information about why the site may be displaying the white screen. For details on what the debug information actually means, this useful page on the WordPress Codex should help.
Refresh your site and the debug information will now be presented on the front-end of your site. For details on what the debug information actually means, this useful page on the WordPress Codex should help.
So, that's it – you've now learned how to fix the WordPress White Screen of Death and your site should now be displaying correctly!
If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment below and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

UCLA Opens Exhibition Play Tonight
The UCLA Bruins kick off their two-game exhibition season tonight at Pauley Pavilion with a game versus Division II opponent, the Cal Poly Pomona Broncos.
Division I schools now regularly schedule Division II opponents for their exhibition games due to NCAA rule change prior to last season that prohibits teams from playing exhibitions against teams made up of former college players.
After playing Cal Poly Pomona tonight the Bruins will face Humboldt State next Thursday in Westwood.
"We could have played two scrimmages instead of the exhibition games but decided it would be better to play under the lights and in front of a crowd." UCLA Head Coach Ben Howland said.
For those who have witnessed UCLA practices, scrimmage games under Ben Howland are just as competitive, and action as rough, as any regular season game.
Cal Poly Pomona has captured two NCAA Division II West Region championships in the past four years. The team returns three starters and nine players overall from a team that went 17-10 last season and finished third in the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA).
The Broncos are led by first-team All-CCAA guard Dion Cook (Sr, 6'4, 205) who averaged 15.1 points, 4.1 rebounds last season and 2006 CCAA Freshman of the Year, Larry Gordon (So, 6'5, 200) who averaged 6.7 points and 5.7 rebounds.
The team also return five other players who started at least eight games last season. Billy Hofman (6'1, 170) and Melvyn Nicholson (6'7, 200)are two other seniors. The Broncos also return junior center Kaelen Daniels (6'6, 260) who played at Artesia High School, he averaged 7.5 points and 4.0 rebounds last season.
The Broncos will play two other exhibition games against NCAA Division I competition including Loyola Marymount on Nov. 6 and at USC on Nov. 11 at the Galen Center.

The goals also made him the top goal scorer of African origin in the Premier League. The top three best African goal scorers at the Premier League are Mohamed Salah with 105 goals, Didier Drogba with 104 goals, and Sadio Mane with 100 goals.
Mohamed Salah had scored two goals in the premier league when he was playing for Chelsea, giving him 107.
At the match on Sunday, 13 minutes into the game, Naby Keita and Diogo Jota already scored 2-0 for Liverpool putting Manchester United in a great desolation.
To heighten it, Salah scored two more goals before half-time. It was like a nightmare to Man United as that 4-0 half-time score at the premier league was the first time it has ever happened to them.
Before the end of the match, Salah scored one more goal making it a 5 – 0 win for Liverpool against Manchester United.
Retired Chelsea striker – Didier Drogba has held the title of Premier League's highest goalscorer for a while.
However, when Drogba learned about Salah's victory of taking over the title from him, he sent him a congratulatory message wishing him luck.
It is also essential to recall that in 2003 at Old Trafford, Salah was the first African player to score a hat-trick in an opposition.

Five people were killed early Thursday morning in a three-alarm fire in the New York City borough of Staten Island. The fire destroyed most of the home in the Port Richmond neighborhood. The five killed are 33-year-old Leisha Jones and her four children.
Neighbors said that the fire began at approximately 4 a.m. local time (0800 UTC). Two New York Police Department officers noticed the fire and radioed for assistance at 4:10 a.m. Rescue workers attempted to enter the building although they were deterred by heavy flames and smoke. Once flames were doused with water, Fire Lieutenant Robert Strafer entered the building and found the youngest child, two-year-old Jermaine Sinclair. Upon further inspection, officers found the other four victims.
Witnesses reported hearing a loud popping sound before the building burst into flames. The cause of the fire is currently unknown, although it is not considered suspicious. The apartment which Jones and her children were living in did not have a smoke detector, as required by city law.
Jones's mother, Martha Anderson, told the New York Daily News, "She was such a nice person and she was a really good mother," adding, "She loved her kids ... and I loved her."

Julián Gil Does Not Want To Talk To Marjorie De Sousa
Video: Julián Gil Does Not Want To Talk To Marjorie De Sousa
Video: Así Marjorie de Sousa reaccionó al mensaje que Julián Gil escribió para su hijo | Suelta La Sopa 2023, January
Julián Gil was invited to the US television program El Gordo y la Flaca; After talking about the problems that still continue with the mother of her son Matías, Marjorie de Sousa, the host Lili Estefan made a proposal to the actor; which rejected, completely and revealed that there is no communication with the also singer.
"If I ask you for the phone and I say 'in front of me and in front of everyone, send a message to Marjorie de Sousa telling her that we can do different things,'" Estefan said during the broadcast on the Univisión network.
"No no no. It is that on my part, Lili, I have already approached her on many occasions", Gil replied. "Nothing is spoken anymore because the times it was spoken and that I tried, she laughed at home and I have evidence."
According to the histrion, the problems that exist now with the child's passport are due to legal conflicts that continue because the protagonist of the soap opera Un poquito tuyo has not wanted to reach an agreement out of court. Julián Gil assures that Marjorie de Sousa "continues doing everything possible to distance him" from their son.
"I see [Marjorie de Sousa] giving explanations. And people have to understand that all this that is happening is because of her choice,"he explained. "She has wanted everything to be legal. Because if we were a normal couple where there was a communication, where there were no lawyers, the only thing you have to do, as normal parents, you go and sign the passport, so that she can leave. One goes and signs her Visa. But like them [lawyers] and her, they chose to make the whole issue a legal issue, because there are the consequences."

In hindsight, it's a much simpler exercise.
It's pretty easy to look at some of the Blackhawks' contracts and recognize the ones that didn't work out very well.
The Bryan Bickell deal was a stunner, four years and $16 million following his great playoff run in 2013.
It was somewhat understandable, given his physical play on a very small team and how effective he was on the top line when Joel Quenneville made him part of the nuclear option with Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews.
A bit of a gamble, sure, but that version of Bickell gave the Hawks two things they desperately needed.
The Corey Crawford contract also seemed to be more than necessary at that moment, given the relatively short amount of time he had been the starter. Six years and $36 million felt like a reach, but Crawford has lived up to the deal.
As for Artem Anisimov, why the rush to give him five years and $23 million a day after arriving in the Brandon Saad deal? The Hawks have not won a playoff series since he arrived, though it's hardly all on Anisimov.
Did the Hawks really need to give 30-year-old Brent Seabrook eight years and $55 million in the fall of 2015? Granted, it's easier to do when you've won three Stanley Cups in six seasons, but that was a shocker.
And then there's Marcus Kruger, who got three years and $9 million in March 2016, six months after signing for a year and $1.5 million, and having missed most of the first half of that season with a wrist injury.
Again, easy to look past the good deals and wonder why the bad ones occurred, but now Kruger is probably on his way out of town and it may cost the Hawks another player the way Teuvo Teravainen was sent to Carolina with Bickell's contract.
The talk in NHL circles is that the Hawks are trying to get Vegas to take Kruger's contract, but that the Hawks might have to give them another player in the process.
It will probably be one of their young guys, along the lines of a Vinnie Hinostroza -- or someone like him -- that's already cracked the Hawks' lineup.
The Hawks are about $3 million over the cap for next season right now after signing Richard Panik for two years at $2.8 million annually, and Panik -- who would have been a restricted free agent July 1 -- was startled the Hawks came at him so hard.
"I was waiting for the first offer to come in and the first one they gave me was surprising, so there wasn't much thinking about if I was going to sign it," Panik said on a conference call with the media. "I was really happy to get the first offer."
Doesn't sound like much of a negotiation.
So the Hawks are committed to $60 million with nine players in Toews, Kane, Marian Hossa, Anisimov, Artemi Panarin, Seabrook, Duncan Keith, Niklas Hjalmarsson and Crawford.
Some of those contracts have been worth every penny, and you'll not hear about those, nor will anyone get any credit for the ones that have been bargains.
And some of it is merely the price of doing business for a marquis franchise that has been the standard for the rest of the league since first making the conference finals in 2009.
But there's simply no room for error when you have so many stars, which on the surface sounds like a nice problem to have in the NHL these days.
Still, you add up a bad million here, a waste of a million there, a contract or two that never should have been signed, and $800,000 times three or four or five, and you start wondering if maybe you could have held on to a Nick Leddy or a Saad, and maybe you're not facing some of the problems you have with an aging roster that's gone out in the first round in consecutive seasons.
Of course, in hindsight it's painfully easy to do the math.

Biography of Anglo-Flemish Neoclassical Portrait Sculptor.
The Anglo-Flemish neoclassical sculptor Joseph Nollekens first established himself in Rome (1762-1770), where he copied, restored, faked and dealt in antique sculpture as well as terracotta works by Renaissance masters. In this historical centre of art, Nollekens absorbed all he could from Greek sculpture, and the best of Italian Renaissance sculpture, perfecting in the process a style of neoclassical art that quickly earned him a reputation and a small fortune. He had a flair for portrait art, and on his return to England in 1770 he set up a flourishing practice, which also supplied rococo designs for garden sculpture, and funerary monuments. He is best known for the classicism of his portrait busts in plaster or marble, and the occasional mythological statue, such as Venus (1773, J Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles). Like the French sculptor Jean-Antoine Houdon (1741-1828), Nollekens' leanings were towards the Baroque, as well as the antique, although later in life he preferred the style of Roman sculpture for his busts. He was one of the most successful neoclassical sculptors, and left the equivalent of £1 million in his will.
Born in London, the son of a Flemish genre painter from Antwerp, Nollekens trained in drawing and modelling from the age of 13 under the Flemish sculptor Peter Scheemakers (1691-1781), who was noted for his tomb-sculpture and portrait busts. In 1760, at the age of 23, he went to Rome, where he worked in the workshop of Bartolomeo Cavaceppi, restoring and imitating ancient stone sculpture, as well as terracotta figures by Renaissance sculptors including Andrea Della Robbia (1435-1525), Michelangelo (1475-1564) and Giambologna (1529-1608). In 1762 he produced a marble bas-relief, Timoclea before Alexander, which was awarded a prize of 50 guineas by the Society of Arts, and in 1768 he produced an exceptionally accurate and sensitive copy of the antique Castor and Pollux, for Lord Anson. Of his larger works from this period, the most important is Mercury and Venus chiding Cupid (1768). Overall, his years in Rome were well spent. As well as learning from the masters and perfecting his technique of marble sculpture, he also earned money as an art dealer, being especially popular with English tourists visiting Rome on the Grand Tour of Europe.
Returning to England in 1770, Nollekens quickly established a busy practice as a portraitist sculptor, specializing in marble or plaster portrait busts. In 1771 he was elected an associate member of the London Royal Academy, and in 1772 a full member. The following year he completed his famous statue of Venus (1773, J Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles), by which time he was the most fashionable portrait sculptor of his day. In addition to King George III, his clients included a number of major British political figures, including William Pitt the Younger, Charles James Fox, the Duke of Bedford, Lord Canning, Lord Castlereagh, Lord Aberdeen, and Lord Liverpool, among many others. He also made busts of a number of important artists including the American portrait painter Benjamin West (1738-1820). Many of these works were influenced by Roman busts of the late Republic style.
In addition to portrait sculptures, Nollekens completed a number of mythological marble statues, such as Bacchus, Venus taking off her Sandal, Hope leaning on an Urn, Paetus and Arria, Cupid and Psyche, and Venus anointing Herself. However, despite being his favourite type of sculpture, and although possessed of a delicate and elegant rococo manner, most of these works lack life and originality. Nollekens also executed a large amount of funerary sculpture and tomb carvings, as well as a range of outdoor designs for gardens.
To learn how to judge artists like the Anglo-Flemish sculptor Joseph Nollekens, see: How to Appreciate Sculpture. For later works, please see: How to Appreciate Modern Sculpture.
Nollekens made a huge amount of money from his art and lived to the grand old age of 85. Sadly, he was a notorious miser (he left £200,000 in his will) and became well known among the artist fraternity for his exceptional meanness. His eccentricity in this and other matters, was recorded in vivid detail by his pupil JT Smith (1766-1833), in the biography Nollekens and his Times (1828).

UAE's Du unblocks voice chat feature for some games
The UAE's telecoms regulator is reportedly in talks to also lift bans on Skype and FaceTime
UAE telecoms provider Du has unblocked the in-game voice chat feature for a number of online video games.
What's On cited a Du community forum post as confirming the chat feature had been enabled for popular online games including Fortnite, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Overwatch, Destiny, Strike of King, League of Legends, Evony and Respanable.
Gamers responding to the post confirmed the block had been lifted for the games on PC and PlayStation 4 but there were some teething issues with others, according to the publication.
The UAE's operators block all forms of third party voice over internet protocol (VoIP) communication under the country's telecoms laws.
Popular services such as Microsoft's Skype and Apple's Facetime are unavailable in the emirates, as well as the voice chat features in apps such as Whatsapp, Instagram and Snapchat.
However, the availability of in-game chat functions may give expats hope that similar measures will follow for other services.
A UAE newspaper cited Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) director general Hamad Obaid Al Mansouri as confirming in April that the regulator was in talks with Apple and Microsoft to have the ban on their services lifted.
Read: UAE's telecoms regulator in talks to lift Skype, FaceTime ban
The talks followed the launch of paid VoIP apps by Du and its rival Etisalat earlier this year, coinciding with a crackdown that has seen access to Skype and FaceTime blocked completely.

The UAE is one of the few countries in the Gulf region where VoIP apps are still unavailable after Saudi Arabia lifted its ban last September.

Q: What are the logical 0 and 1 states in the 9 qubit 'surface 17' code? I am trying to implement the 9 qubit 'surface 17' code, however it appeared to me that I couldn't find in the literature what the encoding states for such a physical system are.

I have found in the paper Low-distance Surface Codes under Realistic Quantum Noise that one may use $\bar{X}=X_2X_4X_6$ and $\bar{Z}=Z_0Z_4Z_8$ as logical operator (qubits are numbered 0 to 8), however I don't quite understand why these should be chosen and how they are recovered. Isn't checking only 3/9 qubit more prone to errors ?

A: To find the logical operators starting from a stabilizer set, you need the former to be stabilized by the latter.
This happens iff all the stabilizers commute with the operators, that can be considered logical (as their application to any logical state is closed into the code scheme space).
You can verify yourself on table II of the cited paper that the operators you mention commute with all the Z and X stabilizers.
I.e. X operators have one common qubit with X stabilizers, while two common qubits (or zero) with Z stibilizers. The Z operators case is symmetrical.

Original U.S. Springfield Trapdoor M1873 Rifle Socket Bayonet with Indian Wars Era Scabbard Converted For Mills Belt Use During Spanish-American War
Original Item: Only One Available. The model 1873 "Trapdoor" Springfield was the first standard-issue breech-loading rifle adopted by the United States Army. The gun, in both full-length and carbine versions, was widely used in subsequent battles against the American Indians. It was the weapon used, in its carbine form, by the troopers of the 7th Cavalry that met their fate at the Battle of Little Big Horn in 1876.
The model 1873 was the fifth variation of the Allin trapdoor design, which was originally developed by Erskine S. Allin to convert Springfield model 1861 and 1863 rifled muskets into breech-loading cartridge firearms. The rifle was named for its hinged breechblock, which opened like a trapdoor. The infantry rifle model featured a 325⁄8-inch (829 mm) barrel, while the cavalry carbine used a 22-inch (560 mm) barrel. Both were chambered for the new .45-70 "Government" cartridge.
As the barrel was slightly less wide than the rifled muskets it replaced, the design of the current bayonet required alteration of the socket. Aside from this, the bayonet design was identical to the Rifled Musket version. It consists of a standard socket, which locks over the barrel and front sight, and has an attached 18 inch long triangular hollow-ground blade.
This example is really in good service used condition, with a lovely patina of age. The blade does show some of the original finish, but also areas of staining and rust. There is also a chunk missing from near the tip of the bayonet, probably from long term rust damage. The locking ring moves easily, and still has the correct securing screw.
The bayonet comes complete with its original steel scabbard, which has retained its original Indian Wars era leather frog, which was then modified by adding what appears to be a brass hook from a saber belt strap. This modification was done so the bayonet can hang properly from a Mills belt, more than likely done by an older Veteran. The steel body has much of the original finish still present.
A very nice service used U.S. Trapdoor socket bayonet, complete with a partial original scabbard. Ready to fit to your Springfield 1873 Trapdoor Rifle!
Blade Style: Triangular
Overall length: 21"
Scabbard Length: 18 3/8"
Note: This gun is NOT considered obsolete calibre, so we are no able to ship to the United Kingdom.

[INFO] Zimwriterfs 1.0 released!
Hi zimwriterfs is a command line tools which transforms any local directory with static HTML files to the corresponding ZIM file. At Kiwix we have created that tool years ago and have been using it intensively since. The last months many improvements have been brought to zimwriterfs: * Increase the speed * Clean the code * Make it able to create ZIM with full-text index inside Most of that work has been done during Esino Lario Kiwix hackathon. For more details about other achievements: http://wiki.kiwix.org/wiki/Hackathon_Wikimania_2016 We thought this is now a good time to publish it as a part of the openZIM project and to provide official release mgmt, tarballs and support. Here it is: http://www.openzim.org/download/zimwriterfs-1.0.tar.xz ZIM is a great format which has proven his efficiency (compression level, versatility, portability, random access speed and performance) over the past 5 years and which deserves to be even broader used. Other projects, in addition to Kiwix, should adopt the ZIM format for offline content distribution or researches purposes. As a consequence, the effort to improve documentation/packaging/tools around ZIM will continue in the next months and in 2017. Everything will be posted here, like usual.
