The real photo before it was photoshopped.
*edit -- Here's an un-shopped photo taken on a different day, different weather where it looks much better. Thanks /u/linaku for posting here.
Thought it looked slightly off.
Just look at the water reflection of the white fence and the black windows. Then look at the painted swimming man reflection. It looks nothing like it should. How are people falling for this??
How are people falling for this??
See, this right here folks is called "suspension of disbelief" and is an important element in any relationship built for storytelling between a speaker and their audience.
It's also a great way to get manipulated.
Don't trust actors. They are hardly ever who they are pretending to be! It's built on lies. LIES!
If you bypass critical thinking in those situations where you shouldn't, sure.
Your telling me someone's been gaslighting me on Reddit? I refuse belief.
Getting manipulated is the whole point of being an audience member my dude. That's what you're there to do.
Agreed, if we are watching a movie. But less so when someone is trying to convince me that something which is not real, is actually real. That is called deception, and when it's not happening in a story, its a lot less enjoyable. Long as I sign up for the ride though, I agree and I'm on board to believe.
For sure. Good story telling is frequently used for deception and sometimes it's tough to keep your thinking cap on tight. Looking at you, media writers, salespeople, and advertisers.
I think the whole reason this thread is excited about the photoshop job is that it's bad story telling. The reflection is obviously 'shopped. For the record, I like the original much better. You'd probably never see a nuclear sub and a racing canoe in the same place but the distortion on the real water reflection makes them seem comfortably distant. The painter is a much better story teller than the photoshop artist, IMO.
Enjoy the show, but switch to skeptic mode the second the show asks you to do something.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has announced that police will no longer hold people arrested for small-time marijuana busts, but will instead merely have them make a desk appearance and then be released.
In his final state of the city address [15] Thursday, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced that people caught with small amounts of marijuana in the city will no longer be subjected to overnight stays in the city's jails, but will merely be taken to the precinct for a desk appearance and then released.

The move is in response to increasingly loud criticism of the city's extremely high marijuana arrest rates, which are taking place despite New York state having decriminalized pot possession more than three decades ago. The NYPD managed to get its pound of flesh from marijuana users by intimidating them into removing baggies from their pockets, then charging them with the misdemeanor of public possession of marijuana, not the infraction of simple possession, and then making them sit in holding cells for up to 24 hours.
During Bloomberg's 10-year tenure as mayor, more than 400,000 people have been arrested on pot possession charges, nearly 350,000 of them young men of color. That number has begun to decline in recent months as police have modified their practices under pressure.
"We know that there's more we can do to keep New Yorkers, particularly young men, from ending up with a criminal record," Bloomberg said. "Commissioner Kelly and I support Governor Cuomo's proposal to make possession of small amounts of marijuana a violation, rather than a misdemeanor, and we'll work to help him pass it this year. But we won't wait for that to happen," he said.
"Right now, those arrested for possessing small amounts of marijuana are often held in custody overnight. We're changing that. Effective next month, anyone presenting an ID and clearing a warrant check will be released directly from the precinct with a desk appearance ticket to return to court. It's consistent with the law, it's the right thing to do, and it will allow us to target police resources where they're needed most."
Drug reform and civil rights activists said it was a step in the right direction, but a small one.
"Mayor Bloomberg stopped defending the indefensible and now recognizes that we cannot afford to criminalize youth of color for carrying small amounts of marijuana," said Alredo Carrasquillo, a community organizer with VOCAL-NY [16]. "But being 'consistent with the law' means more than just issuing desk appearance tickets instead of putting people in jail. Most people targeted for these arrests only produce marijuana in plain view after being illegally searched during stop, question and frisk encounters with police. Mayor Bloomberg's support for marijuana reform is a step in the right direction but does not solve the fundamental problems with the NYPD's policing strategies."
"We agree with the mayor that there's more we can do keep New Yorkers, especially young people of color, from ending up with a criminal record," said Kyung Ji Rhee, the juvenile justice director for the Center for NuLeadership [17]. "For instance, the mayor can direct Commissioner Kelly to immediately cease and desist NYPD's broken 'stop and frisk' program. We must stop these mass arrests and criminalizing people for simply possessing small amounts of marijuana. And we can get the police out of our schools to end the 'schools to prison' pipeline."
"This new policy is a step in the right direction -- and it's the direct result of the ongoing campaign led by community groups in New York to end these racially biased, unpopular, unjust and expensive arrests," said Gabriel Sayegh, New York state director for the Drug Policy Alliance [18]. "Marijuana possession is the number one arrest in New York City and with this new policy change, tens of thousands of people, mostly young men of color, will no longer be held in jail overnight on for possessing small amounts of marijuana. But the arrests themselves need to end -- period. Now the legislature must act -- immediately -- to pass Gov. Cuomo's marijuana decriminalization bill. Every reasonable New Yorker supports the measure. Reform is long, long overdue."

Q: Android: Plugins, the best approach I want to add (preferably in-app) purchases in form of plugins to my Android app.
The user would buy an 'item' off Play Store which will activate a plugin in the app. The purchace will 'stay' if you reinstall the app or use another device with the same Google Play-account so you wouldn't need to buy it again.
I have a couple of ideas on how the purchase could work:

*

*Shared Preferences
After the purchase a simple boolean could tell the app if it is activated or not.

*Backend confirmation
When a purchase is made it's saved in my backend system.

*Seperate 'apps'
That you can buy off Play Store and use as confirmation (works for all using the account i guess?)
What is the best approach?

A: In-app Billing API is the way to do what you want.
It is near your second option, but the backend is Google's and not yours.
Please read more about official API https://developer.android.com/google/play/billing/api.html#purchase

Будинок Державного Банку — історична будівля в Кременчуці на перетині вулиць Перемоги та Ігоря Сердюка, побудована 1900 року. Входить до переліку пам'яток архітектури Кременчука.

Історія
1884 року в місті відкривається відділення державного банку. Спочатку воно перебувало у найманому будинку Макшеєва.

1892 року правління банку звертається до міської управи з проханням виділити землю для спорудження власного будинку. Протягом 1892–1895 рр. міська влада пропонує п'ять ділянок в різних районах Кременчука. Але керуючий хотів побудувати на Соборній площі (пл. Перемоги). Його прагнення суперечило чинному будівельному законодавству, згідно з яким зводити будь-де в районі соборного храму заборонялося. Проти будівництва банку на площі затіяли багаторічну і безплідну боротьбу священики Успенського собору.

1896 року приймається остаточне рішення про виділення бажаної ділянки. Банк побудували з цегли одного з заводів, власником якого був Щелкунов (село Кривуші). Цегляний завод Щелкунова знаходився на місці дачного масиву (від вул. Жовтневої, Лугової до плавнів).

1900 року банк почав свою роботу. Банківська будівля ні своїм місцем розташування, ні зовнішнім виглядом не вписувалося в ансамбль будівель початку XIX століття.

Будівля Держбанку горіла. Можлива причина — підпал задля отримання страховки, але в 1905 році була відновлена.

Другий раз будівля згоріла в 1943 р. (при відступі німців) так, що залишилася лише цегляна коробка. Відновлено була будівля у 1945–1947 роках.

Сучасність

Зараз у будівлі розташоване відділення «Укрсоцбанку».

A Manufacturer Account provides access to download substance declarations data from the database, for example, for the part numbers that you buy from your suppliers. A Manufacturer Account is free provided you sign a Manufacturers Agreement in which you agree to send a letter to your suppliers asking them to join BOMcheck.
Most suppliers make their Regulatory Compliance Declarations available to all customers in BOMcheck and so these data are available to you immediately if you decide to join BOMcheck as a manufacturer. If a supplier has made their Full Materials Declarations confidential to certain customers, then the supplier can add you to these confidentiality settings in one step so that that all these existing Full Materials Declarations can also be made available immediately to you.
If the supplier has not made declarations for certain parts yet, then BOMcheck provides supply chain management tools for Manufacturers and 'wizard' tools to guide suppliers to make substance declarations for REACH, RoHS and other regulated substances around the world. Manufacturers who have a Super User Account can use BOMcheck to send a parts list and a request message to their suppliers for action in BOMcheck. Suppliers receive reminder emails from BOMcheck if the required dates in the customer requests are exceeded. Suppliers can review the customer requests and send a response message in BOMcheck to accept or reject the parts list. If the supplier accepts the request, the 'wizard' tools guide the supplier to download the customer's parts list and to make declarations for their own part numbers and/or to map the customer part numbers to the supplier's part numbers.


With a Zeiss Milvus 85mm f/1.4 Lens in your hands, you are holding one of the finest 85mm lenses ever made. This lens not only meets the very high Zeiss Milvus build quality standards, it delivers also-impressive image quality – image quality that rivals even Zeiss' ultimate series of lenses, the Otus line, but without the rivalling price.
This manual-focus-only lens will not be heralded for its light weight, but ... it will likely be around to make great images for even your grandkids.
I have been on a Zeiss Milvus lens review marathon, now reviewing the 5th of the 6 lenses announced in a single press release. Of those 6 new lenses, two received new optical designs and this lens was one of them. That new Zeiss lenses would be amazingly well built was totally expected, but the Milvus 85 f/1.4's new optical design, along with Zeiss' Richard Schleuning's strong words of praise for this lens at the PhotoPlus Expo, created a strong anticipation for me. Few expected the Milvus 85 to optically match the best-available 85 f/1.4 lens, the Zeiss Otus 85mm f/1.4 Lens, but we knew that Zeiss understood how to make an amazing 85mm lens.
Before reading any further, you need to know that this lens, like all other Zeiss Milvus lenses, is manual focus only. If AF is a prerequisite for your needs, this lens will not be the right choice for you. If you think a manual focus only lens might work for your applications, this lens should have your attention.
What is the 85mm focal length used for? Good first question to ask. To me, the 85mm focal length screams portraits and if I am shooting portraits, I very frequently have an 85mm prime lens or a zoom lens with the 85mm focal length covered in my hand.
The classic portrait focal length range is from 85mm through 135mm (after FOVCF is factored in). An 85mm lens hits the bottom classic range figure on a full frame DSLR and, at a 136mm angle of view equivalent on an APS-C 1.6x body, it essentially remains in the ideal portrait range on this format also. An APS-C format DSLR of course requires a longer working distance to get the same framing as a full frame DSLR (and therefore will have more depth of field and a less-strongly blurred background at the same aperture).
Move in as close as required for moderately-tightly cropped head shots or move back as far as you care to. Without modifying this lens' minimum focus distance, there is no perspective problem from getting too close and being too far away is seldom a problem for portrait perspective. I have done entire senior sessions with a wide aperture 85mm lens.
The "portrait photography" designation is a broad one that covers a wide variety of potential still and video subject framing (from full body to head shots) and a wide variety of potential venues (from indoors to outdoors). Portrait subjects can range from children to seniors and from individuals to large groups. Think engagements, weddings, parties, events, families, small groups, senior adults, fashion, documentary, lifestyle ... all are a great use for the 85mm focal length. There is often adequate space in even a small studio for portraiture with an 85mm-provided angle of view.
Helping to justify the high acquisition cost of this lens is that portrait photography is one of the most-revenue-producing genres and I argue that people are the most important subjects available.
Regardless of the camera format being used, the 85mm focal length (like most others), can be used for landscape photography. Also, if you are adept at manual focusing, this lens can be used for sports in under even very poor lighting conditions. This focal length also works very well for architecture, products (medium through huge – depending on working space), commercial, general studio photography applications and a wide range of other subjects.
With few exceptions, the f/1.4 max aperture made available by this lens is as wide as DSLR lenses get, with the Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM Lens being a notable exception. The wider the aperture, the more light that is able to reach the imaging sensor. More light reaching the sensor means that a faster shutter speed can be used and subject and camera motion can more easily be stopped in low light circumstances. It seems that there is always enough light to handhold a camera at f/1.4. This wide aperture is especially valuable after the sun sets, when shooting indoors and under shade including indoors using only ambient window light.
The shallow f/1.4 depth of field must of course be acceptable to you in these circumstances, but shallow depth of field is another highly desired lens capability, excellent for making the subject pop from a blurred background. I can't get enough of the shallow DOF look that draws the viewer's attention to the subject by eliminating the background distractions. This capability adds artistic-style imaging to this 85mm lens' capabilities list.
I borrowed the above sample photo from the Otus 85 review – the results from this lens will appear similar at this resolution.
Note that, especially under full sun conditions, a 1/8000 shutter speed may be only marginally fast enough to avoid blown highlights at f/1.4. Cameras with shutter speeds limited to 1/4000 may need the assistance of a neutral density filter to keep images dark enough at f/1.4 and 1/4000.
Those using the Zeiss Milvus 85mm f/1.4 with the Nikon ZF.2 mount have a manual aperture ring available. Also available in this Nikon lens version is a de-clicked aperture feature that can be enabled with the turn of a screw, allowing smooth, completely variable aperture changes (of primary interest to videographers). Always wanted to try f/3.1? This lens has you covered.
When light hits the glass, optical truths are revealed. And, I really like what this lens' glass reveals. At f/1.4, Zeiss Milvus 85 images are sharp across the vast majority of the full frame image circle. Stop down to f/2 to get a noticeable bump in contrast for razor sharp images. Only a minor improvement is seen at f/2.8 and the primary value in stopping down to f/4 and beyond is to gain more depth of field or to reduce the amount of light reaching the sensor.
View the Milvus 85's image quality results to see what I'm talking about with your own eyes. I'll also share some real-world image sharpness examples below.
The following sharpness comparisons were captured with an ultra-high resolution Canon EOS 5Ds R. Images were captured in RAW format, processed in Canon's DPP using the Standard Picture Style with a sharpness setting of "1" (very low) and cropped to 100% resolution. The center of the frame examples are first up.
With a shallow f/1.4 depth of field in play, be sure to make comparisons using the most-in-focus details, such as the acorn top. The difference between f/1.4 and f/2 is noticeable and the bump at f/2.8 is discernable. As mentioned, a very low amount of sharpening has been added to these images and much of the f/1.4 deficit can be erased with a small additional amount of sharpening, as seen in the "sharpened" example.
For the next comparison, we move to a location just inside the bottom right corner of the frame.
Easy to see is that, even though vignetting is becoming noticeable, great image quality is holding out to near the periphery of the image circle.
The sharpness discussion to this point covers 95% of the frame. As usual, the absolute full frame corners, utilizing the most outer periphery of the image circle, are the weakest from an image quality perspective.
Here is a look at the extreme bottom right corner.
Obvious is that the f/1.4 corner is soft and that the area of sharpness pushes outward as the aperture narrows.
Here is one more look, showing the top left corner.
As seen above, this lens has a strong amount of vignetting at its widest apertures. However, this amount of peripheral shading is normal for an ultra-wide aperture lens in this class, showing roughly 3 stops of shading in full frame corners. As always, you should be aware of how this shading affects your images. Use the Milvus 85's vignetting test results to see the peripheral shading contour map and consider where your subject will fall in the frame. If the subject has a face (people, pets, etc.) and it falls under a darkened portion of the frame, vignetting correction might be needed. Increased noise in the corrected area of the frame is typically the penalty for vignetting correction.
Or, stop down the aperture. At f/2, about 2 stops of vignetting remains in the corners and at f/2.8, the amount is reduced to approximately .8 stops. Vignetting continues decreasing until a negligible .2 stops remains at f/5.6 through f/16.
Lateral (or transverse) CA (Chromatic Aberration) is the most easily noticed CA, showing as different colors of the spectrum being magnified differently with the mid and especially the periphery of the image circle showing color fringing at lines of strong contrast (where the greatest difference in wavelengths meet). This defect is generally easily correctable, but ... that will not be necessary with this lens.
Here is a 100% crop taken from the corner of a 5Ds R-captured image. While I can see a little fringing, the amount is very minor and this is one of the best performing lenses available in this regard.
Taking some of the blame for the difference in sharpness at f/1.4 vs. f/2 is spherical and axial chromatic aberration. These issues are mild and even in challenging situations, the amount of color fringing is low. Notice the modest purple fringing in the foreground and the green fringing in the background in the 100% crop sample below?
Even with the sun in the corner of the frame, this lens does an excellent job at controlling flare. Few or no flare effects will be seen until roughly f/16 where only a mild amount of flare effects are seen even against a clear blue sky.
This lens does a great job at controlling linear distortion. Let your straight lines fall near the edge of the frame and this lens will make them look good. The following image shows the entire image width (reduced) and cropped to the top edge of the frame. That the edge of this window remains straight is exactly what you want to see.
The entire Zeiss Milvus line is turning in good quality bokeh and this lens does the same. Out of focus specular highlights have the normal outer concentric bright rings, but the centers are very smooth as seen in the two examples below.
With a 9-blade aperture count, distant point light sources showing a star-like effect will have 18 points.
Overall, this lens performs extremely well optically. Image quality is not going to detract anyone from adding this lens to their kit.
Image quality is highly dependent on accurate focusing and, with all Zeiss Milvus lenses, that accuracy is completely in your hands. The Milvus 85 and the other Zeiss Milvus lenses are manual focus only. But, these lenses deliver the ultimate manual focusing experience.
The extremely smooth focusing ring has a massive 270° of rotation. Manually adjusting from minimum focus distance to infinity requires a very significant turn (multiple turns actually) of this large diameter focus ring, but very precise focusing is made available at all focus distances.
The focus ring is smooth in a second way. While the ring consumes most of the lens barrel, only the rear half is rubber coated. With that smooth-surfaced rubber coating transitioning to smooth metal without a diameter change, it is not always easy to find the grippier portion of the focus ring by touch.
The Zeiss Milvus 85mm f/1.4 provides a full DOF (Depth of Field) scale and, with the large amount of rotation, this ring includes aperture marks as wide as f/4. While some other non-Zeiss lenses include depth of field marks, few provide marks wider than f/11.
Of note, primarily for videographers, is that Milvus 85 f/1.4 subjects change size in the frame by a modest amount during moderate or longer focus distance adjustments.
With a 31.5" (800mm) MFD (Minimum Focus Distance), the Milvus 85mm f/1.4 is capable of 0.12x MM (Maximum Magnification). While that spec is unlikely to raise any eyebrows, it represents a modest increase over the Zeiss 85mm f/1.4 Classic's 0.10x. Ranging from 0.11x to 0.13x, the current 85mm f/1.4 lenses do not stray far from each other in this respect and the Milvus 85 f/1.4 is precisely average in this regard. In the overall rankings, this entire class of lenses rates near the bottom in this capability and there may be times when you wished for a shorter MFD, such as for very tightly framed head shots.
Some lenses are fun to use because of their superior build quality and this is one of them.
A new lens from the ground up, the Milvus 85 f/1.4 shows little resemblance to its predecessor, the Zeiss 85mm f/1.4 Classic (shown to the left below). Apparently bigger is currently considered better in lens design as we have been seeing a number of better performing lenses being released in larger sizes.
The lens the Milvus 85 does take strong design cues from is the Otus 85 f/1.4 (shown to the right above). The smooth overall shape and smooth rubber focus ring are very Otus-like. As with the Otus and the Classic, all Milvus lettering and other markings are etched into the metal lens barrel, focusing ring and lens hood as with the Otus. Having the focal length and aperture so easily visible on the hood is especially nice, making lens ID easier.
The focus ring is primary. There is so much focus ring that just enough fixed lens barrel at the rear of this lens is available to grasp for mounting and dismounting. As made obvious in the above images, this lens extends slightly (0.26"/6.6mm) when adjusted to closer focus distances.
For many more comparisons, review the complete Zeiss Milvus 85mm f/1.4 Lens Specifications using the site's Lens Spec tool.
Most will not find this lens uncomfortable to use for reasonably long periods of time, but all will know that something of significance is in their hand. Here is a visual comparative of some of the similar lenses.
Use the site's product image comparison tool to visually compare the Zeiss Milvus 85mm f/1.4 Lens to other lenses.
The Zeiss Milvus 85 f/1.4 Lens accepts ultra-common 77mm filters. These filters are not small and are not the least expensive, but finding a lens to share 77mm filters with is not difficult.
The 85's hood is large enough to provide significant protection from bright light and impact, and the flat top provides a solid surface to stand the lens on. Reversed, Milvus hoods stow compactly. These hoods feature interior flocking for maximum light blocking.
Milvus line lenses come with an upgraded lens cap. While a lens cap may not seem important, it is a part of the lens that gets a lot of use and that the cap stays properly attached is important for protection of the lens. The Zeiss Milvus front lens cap is one of the best-designed caps I've used, featuring an easily graspable center-and-side-pinch design.
The Zeiss Milvus 85mm f/1.4 wears a premium price tag. If this lens is compared against its Canon and Nikon peers (and the AF capability of those lenses is ignored), it appears appropriately priced. If the image and build quality is compared among these lenses, the Zeiss appears to be a very good value. The Sigma option has a much lower price tag and makes the Zeiss appear to be less of a bargain. The Zeiss Otus 85 makes the Milvus 85 appear to be a great bargain.
The Zeiss Milvus 85mm f/1.4 Lens is available in Canon (reviewed) and Nikon mounts. At this point in the review, I always include my standard disclaimer, warning of potential issues when using non-camera manufacturer brand lenses. Since the Zeiss Milvus lenses do not include autofocus, I view the risk of incompatibility in existing or future camera introductions as being very low. Zeiss Milvus lenses include a 2 year warranty, twice as long as Canon's USA and international warranties, but less than half as long as Nikon USA's 5-year lens warranties.
As usual, there are many lenses that can be considered alternatives to this lens, including f/1.8 and zoom models, but I'll stick to the 85mm f/1.4 and f/1.2 options here. I'll start with some generalizations to avoid repeating the same statements many times.
Important for many is that, except for the Zeiss and Samyang (Rokinon/etc.) options, the comparison lenses have autofocus. The Zeiss lenses are superior to the rest from a build quality perspective – and the Otus and Milvus weigh considerably more than the rest. Only the Milvus and Nikon 85mm f/1.4G are weather sealed. At f/1.4, the Zeiss Otus and Milvus are considerably sharper than the other lenses in this class, and especially sharper than the Samyang and Zeiss Classic 85. At f/1.4, the Zeiss Milvus shows at least .5 stops and often 1 stop more vignetting than the rest of this group.
The Canon EF 85mm f/1.2 L II USM Lens is priced modestly higher than the Milvus 85, but has the f/1.2 max aperture advantage. The Nikon 85mm f/1.4G AF-S Lens is priced modestly below the Zeiss. Both are very good lenses. Neither is up to the Zeiss' optical performance.
The Samyang 85mm f/1.4 Lens is a downright cheap lens and for that, it gets noticed. I can think of no other reason for recommending the Samyang over this Zeiss.
Sigma 85mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM Lens is perhaps the non-Zeiss lens that competes most strongly to the Zeiss Milvus in optical quality. Though the Zeiss optical advantage remains noticeable, the Sigma's price advantage is also quite noticeable.
The Milvus 85's predecessor, the Zeiss 85mm f/1.4 Classic Lens, is considerably smaller, lighter and less costly. However, the optical and build benefits of the new lens make the Milvus upgrade an easily justifiable one.
I have been salivating over the Zeiss Otus 85mm f/1.4 Lens since it first arrived. As it turns out, the Milvus and Otus are more similar than they are different. While the Otus is slightly larger, the Milvus weighs essentially the same amount and adds weather sealing. The Otus is slightly sharper in the center of the frame at f/1.4, but the Milvus performs slightly better in the periphery at this aperture. Both are very impressive.
I've wanted to add the Otus 85 to my kit for a long time, but have not been able to justify the cost for me personally (primarily because I often need AF at 85mm). The Milvus 85, costing considerably less than half as much as the Otus, just made the Otus purchase much harder for me to justify. I think that I know which lens is going to be the better seller.
With the Milvus 85mm f/1.4 Lens in its lineup, Zeiss arguably now has the two sharpest wide aperture 85mm lenses made. The Milvus 85 combines best available optical quality (or no worse than second best if you like the Otus better) with best available build quality for a very attractive package. The price is not low, the lens is not light and AF is not featured, but otherwise, this lens is worth drooling over.

OYO Introduces Sunrise Check-in From 6 AM
Chandigarh 27th September:- OYO, India's largest branded network of hotels, has launched a much-needed solution assuring early check-in up to 7 days prior to booking. This is sharp disruption - to the prevalent industry norm across the world, with each hotel having its own arbitrary check-in time (usually 12 noon), and guests left stranded and helpless. The new feature is the latest in the list of pioneering solutions introduced by OYO to deliver efficient, predictable and standardized stays to travelers. This facility is being offered free of cost in many OYOs, and at a nominal charge in others. With this launch, OYO has become the first hotel brand in the world to offer guaranteed early check-in to guests.
OYO's Sunrise check-in is now live both on its website and mobile app. Customers can easily identify, select and book hotels that offer confirmed early check-in. In addition, guests can also modify their existing booking and secure an early check-in.
Speaking on launch, Ritesh Agarwal, Founder & CEO, OYO, said that despite changes in the way we live, travel and work, the hotel industry across the world continues to follow the outdated concept of a standard check-in time. Nowadays, travel is no longer about following prescribed itineraries. At OYO we understand our guests and build features tailored to their needs. With Sunrise check-in travelers can plan their mode of travel, duration and trip-itinerary in a better way, without being constrained by the check-in time.
Often times travelling customers start arriving in cities as early as 6 AM. However, they are inconvenienced by the fact that most hotels offer check-in only after 12 noon. Whether they need to get ready or freshen up for a meeting, catch a quick nap before a long day, unwind or prepare to visit a temple, all types of travelers - business, leisure and pilgrim – can require early check-in. So far, their only option was to request the hotel prior to check-in or upon arrival, with the facility being offered subject to availability of rooms.
Ritesh elaborated that the need to get a guaranteed early check-in is one of the key reasons that guests book hotels by walking in. Many of our guests shared that strict schedules for check-in times is one of their biggest pain-points related to hotel-booking. Our Sunrise check-in feature gives them the freedom to plan their travel in a flexible manner. We expect an enthusiastic response to this feature and early indications show that nearly 20% of bookings post-launch are availing this service.
Sunrise check-in service is delivered via the OYO Partners system where hotels update days where they can offer early check-in and millions of users receive this update on a real-time basis. Strict guidelines ensure full compliance towards the fundamental philosophy of delivering a delightful stay experience.
Government of Jharkhand at Las Vegas to Woo Investors
Chandigarh 27th September:- Pushing ahead on his agenda to make Jharkhand 'the global destination of choice for investors' Jharkhand CM Mr. Raghubar Das and his business- savvy team reached Las Vegas to attend MIN Expo 2016(Mining Expo), where the state has a dedicated pavilion. US whistle - stop tour of Raghubar Das and his Team has an agenda for exploring foreign investor potential for Jharkhand.
At MIN Expo 2016(Mining Expo), CM and his delegation met Scott Phillips, CEO of GE Mining, Chicago, Sean McLanahan, CEO of Hollidaysburg Pennsylvania, USA and Rahul Jain, Business Head of Surface Mining and Technology of Caterpillar Pvt. Ltd.
During the interaction session, State delegation had a detailed discussion with Mining Tycoons. At MIN Expo (Mining Expo), Jharkhand Pavilion, Caterpillar Pvt. Ltd. proposed setting up of a mining equipment manufacturing unit in Adityapur, Jharkhand.
During the session, Chief Minister Raghubar Das said that Jharkhand is ushering in an era of industrial growth and is geared up to showcase its enormous potential to the national and international investment communities in order to attract suitable investments—and the MIN Expo in this scenario is a platform to lure investors who will become long term partners in the burgeoning development of one of India's youngest states, which has over 40 per cent of India's mineral reserves. He added that the state accounts for 27 per cent of national coal reserves and 26 per cent iron ore besides others.
While detailing the investors Raj Bala Verma Chief Secretary of Government of Jharkhand said that so far the government has held fruitful road shows in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai. During the road shows, Jharkhand Government signed some crucial agreements with global corporations like CISCO and Oracle to impart skilling to prepare for the technology leveraged future , Two MoUs were also signed with global technology major Hewlett Packard for e-healthcare and tele-education
Raj Bala Verma further added that during this US Sojourn Government of Jharkhand is looking to seal collaborations with leading organizations & industrial institutions of commerce and trade bodies with the objective of boosting American familiarization with and investment in Jharkhand.
The expo would be followed by a visit to San Francisco where the delegation is scheduled to visit Hewlett Packard Enterprise with which memoranda of understanding were recently signed in the areas of tele-education (virtual classrooms) and IT enabled primary healthcare.
All this orchestrated lobbying is aimed at culminating in a sizeable attendance at Jharkhand's maiden global business meet— The Momentum Jharkhand Global Investors Summit, scheduled to take place in state capital Ranchi, on 16-17th February 2017.
PETRONAS Launches PETRONAS Urania with ViscGuard™
Chandigarh 27th September:- PETRONAS Lubricants International (PLI) today launched PETRONAS Urania with ViscGuard™, its flagship commercial vehicle lubricant (CVL) formulated to effectively guard against engine deposits build-up.
This new range of diesel engine lubricants prevents abrasive wear and oxidation to maintain optimal oil viscosity that is necessary to keep commercial vehicle drivers and businesses on the move.
PETRONAS Urania with ViscGuard™ will be available in phases, starting from Oct, 2016 onwards in the India.
Chief Commercial Officer of PLI, Giuseppe Pedretti said that PETRONAS Urania with ViscGuard™ is the result of PLI's global research, conducted to understand our customers' and the end consumers' business and transportation needs. He added that we discovered that unplanned downtime is their biggest fear as it may lead to opportunity cost and loss of reputation. Thus, ensuring proper maintenance of their key asset, the engine, is extremely important.
Giuseppe Pedretti said that PETRONAS Urania with ViscGuard™not only guards the heart of a vehicle against engine deposits build-up, but also has a direct impact on the total cost of ownership for our customers. In addition, itensures that our customers are able to remain operational and meet their business commitment day after day.
The build-up of engine deposits is a common but underestimated problem, which can lead to engine failure and unplanned downtime if not addressed. Soot particles produced during the combustion process can enter the engine oil, causing thickening and further agglomerate to form larger particles that stick to critical engine parts.
These 'silent killers' can starve critical engine parts which require necessary lubrication and increase engine's wear and tear. Over time, and aggravated by the severe operating conditions that commercial vehicles undergo, it will eventually lead to total engine breakdown.
Pedretti added that technology is our key differentiator at PETRONAS. We dedicated much of our focus to hone in and further sharpen our technological edge. This has allowed us to leverage our strong legacy in lubricants technology to innovate and deliver superior products and service offerings that meet the needs of the automotive industry and our end consumers.
Mohd Khalid Bin Mohamed Latiff, Head Asia-Pacific region, mentioned that PETRONAS Lubricants has been aggressively building a strong base in the highly competitive lubricant industry in India. Our USD50 million-plant investment is the proof of our commitment. We envision strong growth in future and are committed grow our commercial vehicles business with a CAGR of 30%over the next 5 years. Commercial Vehicles contribute to a significant portion of our volumes and this launch of PETRONAS Urania with ViscGuardTM, will help us deliver the same. Our new route-to-market approach will enable our distributors to improve ROI through high efficiency management, enhanced professional selling skill and toolkits, and more resource support from the PLI Group.

You have heard it said that it–the "zeitgeist" or "ethos" of life–is not about you, but is about your sacrifice, ultimately, to something "greater" than yourself.
This is not true; and never was; nor ever can be.
The truth is that it is all about you, and necessarily so. You see, "you" is the frame of reference by which you exist and act and define all things, absolutely. Take away "you", and there is nothing else, for you would have lost the very thing necessary to give all else any relevancy and purpose in the first place.
In other words, without YOU, there is no frame of reference by which you can define what "greater thing" it is to which you are told to sacrifice yourself. And without out a frame of reference, there is no definition of the thing; and without a definition of WHAT, there is no WHY. And with no why, there can be no sacrifice.
Sacrifice of self then…is a lie.

California Passes New Limits on Police Use of Deadly Force
Home/California Law/California Passes New Limits on Police Use of Deadly Force
California has passed a law limiting police use of deadly force, in an attempt to tighten the circumstances under which officers could use lethal measures. California is America's most populous state and has also had several recent high-profile police-involved shootings, some of which have involved wrongful death litigation. The new law is an attempt to correct that.
However, critics argue that the bill is nowhere close to what it was originally intended to be and that the police unions misused their positions to significantly water down the final bill. Why is this law so important to California? And why are the shooting victims, their lawyers, and human rights activists not completely on board? Read on to learn more about how this new law may affect you or your loved ones.
The New Law and Its Scope
On August 19, 2019, Gavin Newsom, the governor of the state of California, signed Assembly Bill 392 (AB 392) and brought into effect Stephon Clark's Law. The decree tries to narrow the constraints under which police officers can use fatal weapons on the job. The law updates the long-standing usage-of-force statute in California. The statute has been around since 1872 and was one of the oldest of its kind.
According to some advocates, this new law would help save lives and bring down police violence significantly in California. They believe state policies concerning the use of force would directly influence the prospect of the police using force, which includes police shootings.
If the new law were in effect at the time of the killing of Stephon Clark, for whom the law was named, and the case had gone for a trial, the court would have considered the conduct of the police officer leading up to the shooting, instead of only the actual moment the shooting occurred. In other words, the court would have not just tried to ascertain whether the cops were scared for their lives when they actually struck, but also how the officers acted beforehand, which includes the time when they first saw Clark (see more below).
Nationally, the use of deadly force policies has attracted severe scrutiny in the last few years. This is because multiple fatal police interactions with civilians have been captured on camera and made public. However, there still isn't any standard policy that all police departments in the country strictly follow. Department policies, in fact, vary across cities and states.
Previously, California police, like the cops in most other states, could resort to deadly measures if they felt the situation demanded it. The new law mandates California police officers to use deadly force only if it's "necessary" for safeguarding themselves against an imminent risk of serious injury or death.
When Barack Obama was in office, San Francisco and Seattle adopted a similar standard, and the number of incidents involving deadly force by the police came down.
The Shooting of Stephon Clark
As mentioned above, one of the primary drivers for this shift in the state of California was the people's anger over the 2018 police slaying of Stephon Clark in Sacramento. Clark was a 22-year-old African American. At the time of his shooting, he was standing unarmed in the backyard of his grandparents' home with a cell phone in his hand. The police maintain they mistook his mobile device for a weapon, which prompted them to act against Clark.
State and federal prosecutors did not press charges against the police officers, stating the officers were scared for their lives. Their actions were, therefore, deemed well within the law. Clark's death and the lack of charges against the concerned officers triggered protests in the capital city, drawing national attention.
Criticism for AB 392
Several critics working for shooting victims' families claim the law that finally came into effect is a far cry from what it was supposed to be in the beginning. Originally, the bill required police to use all other tools or measures before resorting to deadly force of any kind. The current law, according to the protesters, has the original bill's scope in spirit but not in effect. After the amendments made to the bill, some police violence victims' family members withdrew their backing for the bill.
Critics point out that the new law doesn't clearly define the word "necessary." Previous iterations of the bill had a proper definition for the term. However, it was purportedly taken off the bill so that the law enforcement was happy. According to the current bill, the "necessary" circumstances would be determined by a police officer.
Criticism for AB 392 also involve another bill that would approve additional funding to train California police. This training bill, which is stuck in committee, was amended earlier in 2019 by its backers, so the bill could be cleared only if the use-of-police-force bill got clearance. This led to reports that the bills were interlinked. Critics argue that the state should not pour more money into police training and instead use it for things such as mental health resources, livable wage jobs, and other pro-community elements.
Supporters of AB 392
The proponents of the new law state that the final bill amendments (removing the detailed meaning of the term "necessary") would not hurt the scope of the law. They say the law would still be one of the toughest laws relating to the use of force in the United States. The law's backers argue that the courts would have no difficulties interpreting the "necessary" term even when there is no formal definition.
Governor Newsom, in an interview, responded to critics during an interview by saying that the new law is a positive step forward, but he agreed there was room for improvement. He also recognizes the new bill doesn't intend or pretend to be some kind of a quick fix. He, therefore, appealed to the Black community and the Californian people at large to change their mindsets and give the state an opportunity to prove itself. The Governor also stated he was not ready to attend any more funerals and would feel accountable if he had to.

From time to time, users may notice that some invoice numbers "go missing" or get skipped. This is not uncommon and can be attributed to a few different potential reasons for the missing numbers. We'll go over the most common reasons in this article.
If two invoices are created for a single order, each one invoicing a different portion of the order, this will use up two invoice numbers. Following this, some users will then void both invoices and create a single one to replace them. This can cause one or both of the numbers to become unused and "skipped". For example, if 1234 and 1235 were partial then voided, and then 1236 is the complete one, the next order's invoice will be 1237 and it will not use the voided numbers.
Going along with the above, if the invoice number has been used before in the past, Acctivate will not use it again.
Some Acctivate systems are configured to have the order number match the invoice number. Therefore, if an order number goes unused or is skipped, the related invoice number will get skipped as well.
If an admin has recently altered or advanced the numbers within Configuration manager, the invoice numbers might have been impacted by these changes.
If none of the above explanations seem to fit your situation, or if you have documentation of an invoice that truly has gone missing from Acctivate, consider contacting Acctivate Support for more help.

Published Sun. Oct 31st, 2021 Michigan State Comeback Spoils Wolverine's Dream Season
Michigan seemingly had the game under control over their in state rival Spartans but Michigan State hung around long enough and the breaks started falling their way just in time to come away with a 37-33 victory over the stunned Michigan fans. The Spartan's remaining schedule is formidable with games at Purdue, home against Maryland, at Ohio State and home against Penn State, but winning all four plus a Big 10 Championship, would surely put Michigan State in the CFP.
Around the Nation: The undefeated ranks are shrinking as two more unblemished teams bit the dust Saturday. The SMU Mustangs traveled to Houston and were beaten by a last minute 100 yard kickoff return for a 44-37 Cougar win. Out on the West Coast in a late game Saturday night Fresno State traveled to San Diego and and spoiled the Aztecs unbeaten season with a 30-20 win. Wake Forest kept rolling in the ACC with a 45-7 shellacking of Duke. The Demon Deacons stand at 8-0 with a tough road game at North Carolina looming this coming Saturday. Ohio State held off Penn State 33-24 and still look like the best team in the Big 10, although Michigan State is making things look very interesting. Oklahoma finally got untracked and put together their best win of the season at home against Texas Tech. The Sooners beat the Red Raiders 52-21 on the heels of a stellar performance by Caleb Williams who passed for 405 yards and 6 touchdowns. Spencer Rattler came into the game in the 4th quarter to a standing ovation by the much appreciative Sooner Nation. I wonder if Texas has Tom Hermann on speed dial? If the Longhorns can't compete in the Big 12 how can they possibly survive in the SEC? Baylor, now 7-1, took care of business with a 31-24 win. I don't believe anyone can beat Georgia. I'm beginning to wonder if anyone can even slow them down. The Bulldogs looked invincible in Jacksonville Saturday with a runaway 34-7 win over rival Florida. Auburn put together an amazing performance on the plains Saturday night, slowing down the Ole Miss offensive machine for a 31-20 win over the Rebels. War Eagle travels to College Station for a huge SEC match with Texas A&M this Saturday. Bo Nix looks very capable of leading the Tigers to an SEC West title. And don't look now but the mighty Sun Belt Conference boasts 3 teams in the Top 26 of the Billingsley Report this week. 7-1 Louisiana Lafayette moves to #15 followed by 6-2 Appalachian State at #23 and 7-1 Coastal Carolina at #26. No wonder teams are jumping ship from other conferences to join. The Sun Belt is on fire my friends! Look for week 11 projections to post Tuesday afternoon.

"We were so fortunate to get to work with Dalton Silva and his team. We had wood rot and even some unfriendly woodpeckers who moved in! Dalton and his crew showed up everyday and worked incredibly hard in 30 degree and even some snowy weather. They were professional, polite and had reliable follow through. Dalton was readily available whenever we had a question and went out of his way to make sure we were happy with the work. They did a fantastic job installing our James Hardie siding and we would recommend them to our friends."
"I have felt motivated to write only one other letter like this in the past 40 years. My wife and I moved to this 1972 built Overland Park home in 1979. After having it being painted many times and various wood rot repair sessions, we decided that we needed to have siding put on the home. As is my nature, I spent months studying the various types of siding available. I became convinced that James Hardie cement board siding was the best value. We elected to go with the factory pre-finished product because we found colors we believed we would be happy with for many years and that would look very good with the other homes in our neighborhood. I interviewed 4 other installation companies and hired Dalton Silva's company to do the work. Dalton started the work when promised but more importantly followed all of James Hardies' Best Practices. He was very easy to work with and the finish job looks excellent. Many neighbors have volunteered comments about how good our home looks and how wonderfully we have transformed the house. We are very happy. I highly recommend the services of Dalton Silva and his crew of Sure Point Exteriors."

Excited for the release of the new season of Game of Thrones, some energy boffins at OVO Energy decided to make good use of their time (ahem) and work out how each of the major castles in the series could be powered, and how much it would cost.
The results are staggeringly high!
With a mind to being environmentally friendly and helping keep costs down, they have also provided some suggestions for each castle to be powered by alternate renewable energy sources.

Growing in your relationship with Jesus is a progressive thing that will take a lifetime. Sometimes the changes happen slowly and in small ways, but other times they are instant and dramatic. This week we look at how Peter's life changed overnight because of a decision he made in response to Jesus' call, and ask if he wants to do something similar in our lives.

Assault charges end in diversion program for Sandwich student Ras Russell
Rachael Devaney
Cape Cod Times
SANDWICH — The Black student from Sandwich whose fight with a white student put the spotlight on racism in the school district will enter a court-ordered diversion program for first-time offenders.
Ras Russell, 15, who had faced three criminal charges, including a felony, will be monitored for six months, during which he cannot be an aggressor in another fight, he must do five good deeds and undergo therapy, according to his mother, Paulene Jones.
The case was handled by a mediator Wednesday in Barnstable Juvenile Court.
Russell's attorney, Dean Douglas, said the diversion program is a win for his client.
"As long as he abides by the conditions, all charges will eventually go away," Douglas said.
Russell had been charged with assault with a dangerous weapon (shod foot), one count of assault and battery and one count of larceny following his fight with another student at Sandwich High School on Feb. 11.
According to Russell, the fight was the result of being racially bullied by the other student. As criminal charges were pending, Russell was indefinitely suspended but was allowed back onto school grounds on April 25.
His mother is pleased that Jones will enter the diversion program, which is often called a first-time offender's program.
"I feel like it's a good thing. This will prevent them from going forward (with the charges)," Jones said.

Russell is also required to write a letter to the court acknowledging guilt for his actions, she said. While pleased that her son will be in the program, she is not happy with the requirement to write the letter.
"It's an admission of a crime. To me, some of those charges were bogus — they were unfair," she said. "We understand that Ras was not perfect in this situation, but I didn't like that part of it at all."
Russell had been charged with larceny for allegedly taking the other student's ear buds following the fight. According to his mother, he had turned them in to police that same day and was still charged with larceny a week later.
Russell has six months to craft the letter, Jones said.
More:Sandwich High student arraignment delayed but school return possible
Part of the diversion program required Jones and Russell to meet with the mediator Wednesday at court. During that discussion, Jones said she told the mediator that the entire ordeal was a "curse and a blessing."
"Ras realizes that he never wants to be out of school again. Now he understands what is at stake," she said. "For a long time, the whole situation was so sad because we felt like we had to tippy toe around people. But now he's back in school and he's trying his very best."
Pamela Gould, superintendent of schools in Sandwich, didn't immediately return emails for comment.
Tara Miltimore of the Cape and Islands District Attorney's Office did not return emails from the Times.

Jones said it's been a smooth transition for Russell after beginning school again on April 25. Russell was out of school for about two months. Since his return, the kids are friendlier towards Russell, Jones said. And parents with children at Sandwich High School have also reached out to support Jones and her family.
"A lot of parents sent me cards saying encouraging words and saying they were so sorry that Ras had gone through all of this," she said. "Many also expressed regret for not saying something sooner or not speaking up. I appreciate every person who did that. It meant a lot."

During the diversion program interview, Jones said the mediator also asked what her family has learned since the altercation in February.
"We learned where we stand in the system and that was a scary feeling. But we also found that it's OK to ask for help from other people," she said. "The most important thing though, is that we learned how to stick together."

Invasive Burmese python swallowed 3 full deer in the Everglades
Nicole Lopez-Alvar
WESTERN MIAMI-DADE, Fla. (WSVN) — A Burmese python was found in the Everglades with not one but three white-tailed deer in its guts, and researchers are in awe.
According to Live Science, a research article published in November by REABIC BioInvasions Records found that the invasive Burmese python found in the Everglades was the first of its kind to ever be caught with three deer in its intestines.
Researchers said the 15.6-foot-long female python, weighing in at more than 100 pounds, was almost done digesting the deer when officials caught and euthanized it in Western Miami-Dade, back on June 3, 2013.
At the time, researchers identified remains to match those of white-tailed deer after testing. They also found three sets of white-tail deer hooves in its intestines.
Using the hooves as a starting point, scientists were able to determine that one of the deer, a doe, weighed as much as 99 pounds. The other two were fawns weighing 37 and 29 pounds.
Scott Boback, an associate professor of biology at Dickinson College, is the study's co-lead author. He explained that the python probably attacked and ate the deer at different times over a 90-day period.
Assoc Prof of Biology Scott Boback's latest snake research is featured @voxdotcom. https://t.co/CqiIiF1FEV
— Dickinson College (@DickinsonCol) December 2, 2016
Although pythons can digest bone, they cannot digest hooves or anything made of keratin or enamel.
What makes swallowing three full deer in three months so surprising to researchers and biologists is that pythons normally do not eat this much in such a short time period. Prior to this study, scientists had assumed that pythons could only eat an animal as big as a deer once before digesting and going after a new meal.
"If this one snake was capable of doing that, how about all of the other hundreds of thousands of pythons in the Everglades? What are they doing?" said Boback. "This is at least suggestive that there could be a pretty significant effect of these pythons on the whitetail deer population in the Everglades."
Experts said the snake was likely hiding in the water, stalking its prey.
According to Live Science, Burmese pythons are native to Southeast Asia.

The Pet Camper was a limited edition run of 25 that Jud did a few years back. These handmade doghouses went for $2 500 each, but Jud would love to find someone to produce them on a larger (and more affordable) scale. He's also thinking about doing a few more houses for small dogs in the style of Campers from the '50's and '60's. We'll post them here if we go ahead with it! Cheers for the publicity.
Nothing yet, but our fingers are crossed and the interest list is growing!
Thanks for your interest in the iLog! You can certainly commission one from us, and we can ship worldwide. Until we are able to produce the iLogs on a larger scale they are only available as a handmade, limited edition item for $500.

Your pet airstream trailer is fantastic. I hope you can get a manufacturer on side with you. It would be great if the next thing would be a pet car bed that could hook up to the trailer then 2 dogs could have a bed each and the scene would be wonderful. I buy weird and wonderful pet beds for my cats and would love the trailer for my collection if it ever gets to the next step. I also love your wacky kids dresser drawers. Keep up the very good work.
Oh, just to be clear on my last post, I mean it would be great if you made a ped car that could hook up to the trailer. The pet car would be a bed. After I read my post it sounded like I wanted you to make a car bed for a pet. Anyway, I love your work.
