ON Nov 16, semiconductor manufacturer Unisem (M) Bhd saw a series of off-market transactions in which a total of 3.13 million shares changed hands in blocks of at least 370,000 each.
While the volume is tiny — at just 0.43% of the company's total outstanding shares — the deals coincided with a surge in trading volume on that day involving 13.98 million shares.
Unisem is currently the subject of a pre-conditional voluntary conditional takeover offer that was announced on Sept 12. The joint offerors are led by executive chairman and managing director John Chia Sin Tet and Shenzhen-listed Tianshui Huatian Technology Co Ltd, which had a market capitalisation of 8.9 billion yuan (RM5.4 billion) as at Nov 19.
The pre-conditional offer price is RM3.30 per share, an 11.11% premium to its last closing price before the offer was announced. However, the offer will not be officially made until the offerors have satisfied certain preconditions on their end. The offerors intend to maintain Unisem's listing status.
Chia is the single largest shareholder in Unisem with 24.3% equity interest at the time of the pre-conditional offer.
The Nov 16 trading volume is significantly higher than the counter's 100-day moving average volume of 2.2 million shares. The last daily trading volume surge was on Sept 13, the day after the offer was announced, which saw 18.28 million shares traded.
The off-market deals on Nov 16 were transacted at RM3.19 to RM3.20 per share, a slight discount to the counter's closing price of RM3.25 on the same day. On Nov 19, Unisem closed at RM3.21 for a market capitalisation of RM2.35 billion.
It is worth noting that on Nov 16, independent director Datuk Gregory Wong Guang Seng sold 500,000 Unisem shares on the open market. The block represented his entire shareholding, according to Unisem's latest annual report.
Garment manufacturer and distributor Magni-Tech Industries Bhd saw a block of 500,000 shares worth RM2.23 million traded off market in a single crossed trade on Nov 15.
The transacted share price was RM4.45 apiece, a slight discount to the counter's RM4.56 closing price that day.
The transaction injected a spark into an otherwise lacklustre trading day for the stock. On Nov 15, the counter's full-day traded volume was 525,700 shares, compared with its 100-day moving average of 114,000 shares.
It is unclear who the transacting parties were. However, executive chairman Tan Sri Tan Kok Ping has been slowly increasing his direct shareholding over the past year.
Up to Nov 16, Tan had acquired 1.86 million shares so far this year, bumping his direct stake to 10.27 million or 6.31%. Overall, his collective interest in the company stands at 22.89%.
On Nov 19, the counter closed at RM4.64 per share, down 30.6% over the past one year. Its last peak was at RM7.60 apiece in August 2017.
A series of off-market transactions saw 2.38 million YNH Property Bhd shares traded between Nov 16 and 19 in blocks of 450,000 shares or more. The transacted prices were RM1.31 to RM1.33 per share. The volume traded came to just 0.4% of the company's outstanding shares.
Notably, the off-market trades came on the heels of a sharp 14.81% share price drop on Nov 14, when full-day trading volume surged to 7.94 million. In comparison, YNH Property's 100-day moving average is about 1.3 million shares.
It is also worth noting that chairman Dr Yu Kuan Chon began trading actively in late April this year. Between April 26 and Nov 19, Yu has trimmed his direct stake by a net 1.86 million shares to 137.11 million shares or 25.94% equity interest. He is deemed interested in another 6.83% stake.

It's important to note that, more often than not, you don't need to worry about selector performance too much -- as long as your selectors aren't obnoxious. jQuery's Sizzle is incredibly fast and accommodating.
Though some -- generally older -- selector engines will first query the DOM for the element with a class of box, and then move on to finding any p tags which are children, jQuery works in reverse. It begins by querying the DOM for all paragraph tags on the page, and then works it way up the parent nodes and searches for .box.
We can use the excellent JsPerf.com website to test this out.
The image above shows that using find() or children() is roughly 20-30% faster, depending upon the browser.
The jQuery library has an optimization that will immediately determine if an id was passed to the jQuery object ( $('#box') ). If that's the case, it doesn't need to use Sizzle; instead, it quickly passes the selector to getElementById. And, of course, if the browser is modern enough, querySelectorAll will take over for Sizzle.
On the other hand, with $('#box p'), jQuery needs to parse this string with the Sizzle API, which will take a bit longer (though Sizzle does have an optimization for selectors that begin with an id). This is precisely why it's also marginally faster to do things like $('.elems').first() over $('.elems:first'). The latter selector will need to be parsed.
This selector seems appropriate. Find all disabled inputs (or actually, elements) that are within #container. However, as we've learned, jQuery and the native querySelectorAll work right-to-left. This means that jQuery will grab, literally, every element in the DOM, and determine if its disabled attribute is set to true. Notice that there's no pre-filtering to first find all inputs on the page. Instead, every element in the DOM will be queried.
Once it's compiled a collection, it then travels up the chain to the parent, and determines if it's #container. Certainly, this isn't effective, and, though it's true that perhaps too much attention in the community is paid to selector performance, we should still strive to not write overly intensive selectors, when possible.
This code will limit the query to all inputs on the page first (rather than every element). Even better, though, we can again use the find or children method.
It's important for me to reiterate that you honestly don't need to worry about selector performance too much. There are plenty of optimizations in jQuery that will assist you. It's generally better to focus on bigger ticket items, like code organization and structure.
As an example, if Sizzle comes across a selector like $('#box p'), it's true that it works right-to-left, but there's also a quick regex optimization that will first determine whether the first section of the selector is an id. If so, it'll use that as the context, when searching for the paragraph tags.
Nonetheless, it's always helpful to know what's happening behind the scenes -- at least at a very low level.


1) Any idea why the asset number is coming as unreadable characters in the Events table ?
2) How to increase the font size of the events table ?
3) How to add annotations and other attributes to the events table ?
What is the asset name supposed to be?
What version of PI Vision are you using?
There is a known issue with the decoding of the Asset in PI Vision 2017's Events Table for some character types. If you could also provide the expected Asset name (as Gabriel already asked), that will help us confirm whether you are affected. The known issue is fixed in PI Vision 2017 R2, so if it fits, the best solution is to upgrade.
Regarding the addition of other attributes to the table, unfortunately regular Event Frame attributes cannot be added at this time. However, PI Vision 2017 R2 did add the possibility of adding a reason attribute, which is selected from a hierarchical enumeration set.
Asset name is coming from a Table lookup which is ultimately coming from Maximo. In the AF Table it looks like this as follows (AssetNum).
As far as PI Vision is concerned, I believe the Asset will always just be the name of the Event Frame's primary reference AF Element. So I am not sure that it could be coming from a Table Lookup unless I am missing something.
Regardless, at this point I think it would be best to investigate in a tech support case since this seems like it may be a new bug. If that sounds okay, we can open one for you.
We got this resolved through a helpdesk call. The problem was a mismatched PI Web Api Version and PI Vision version.

USA vs. England World Cup Soccer Match Preview and Pick to Win
USA vs. England Royal Bafokeng Stadium, Rustenburg, South Africa 2:30 PM EST Saturday June 12, 2010
By Jason Green at Predictem.com
Match Odds: USA 6.50 / England 1.50 / Draw 4.00
Over/Under: 2.5 goals
Moneyline: USA +650 / England -238 / Draw +310
Bet on USA World Cup soccer games using your credit card at the web's biggest online bookmaker: Sportsbook.
In each teams first game in the World Cup the USA takes on England on Saturday night in a Group C match up. This game is important for the two teams that have the best odds to make it out of Group C.
The USA hopes they can have a repeat of their huge shock in 1950 when they beat England, who were the heavy favorites to win the World Cup.
England has a ton of pressure on them in this World Cup, as they have a solid team, like they usually do, but have not advanced past the quarterfinals since 1990. They recently took a big hit to their defense, as Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand hurt his knee in training and will not be playing in South Africa.
The USA has pressure on them as well, but not as much. Unlike the last couple of World Cups they are not in a very tough group. Besides England they are in Group C along with Slovenia and Algeria. USA can make it out of this group and should do so, as it will be a disappointment if they do not progress to the knockout phase. They can get off to a great start by beating heavily favored England in this match, but even a draw would be a solid start for the Americans.
GAMBLE ON WORLD CUP SOCCER GAMES
AT REDUCED ODDS AT 5DIMES
Much like the last few World Cups the English do not have a top-flight goalkeeper and if the Americans can get some good shots they have a decent shot to score an upset in this match.
Team USA Recent Form
6/5/2010 USA 3 Australia 1 (Friendly)
5/29/2010 USA 2 Turkey 1 (Friendly)
5/25/2010 USA 2 Czech Republic 4 (Friendly)
England Recent Form
5/30/2010 England 2 Japan 1 (Friendly)
5/24/2010 England 3 Mexico 1 (Friendly)
3/3/2010 England 3 Egypt 1 (Friendly)
Each team's strength is their midfield, as Clint Dempsey and Landon Donovan lead the USA and Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard lead England. The duo that can move control the ball and push forward will give their team a better chance to win this match. England may have the slight advantage in the midfield and on top of that Dempsey and Donovan may be counted on to score as well.
Even with star defender Rio Ferdinand out England still has John Terry and Ashley Cole. They will have to play well with the goalie issues they have, but I do not think they will keep the USA from scoring.
With the strikers that England has the USA defense led by anchor G Tim Howard will have to play great, as England will get their chances to score. They have Wayne Rooney, who scored 32 goals in 26 matches for Manchester United this season, 6'7″ Peter Crouch and Jermain Defoe.
USA defenders Carlos Bocanegra and Oguchi Onyewu, who is recently recovered from an injury, have to keep the England strikers from getting to open space and making long runs. The duo is solid, but the English strikers, especially Rooney, are too good and will score at least one goal.
USA striker Edson Buddle scored 2 goals in the Americans last friendly against Australia and he has to apply some offensive pressure. He may be given space, as the England defense may key on Dempsey and Donovan. Bundles striker mate is likely Jozy Altidore, who is getting over an ankle injury, but will play.
Jason's Pick: Even though England is the major favorite in this match the USA matches up decently with them and the Americans tend to step up and play well against Elite teams. However, England is simply too strong up front and I think they will score at least 2 goals. I will be betting on the USA since I have to go with my heart and my team, but my brain says that England will win thin match by a score of 2-1 or 3-1.

We adopted Odin (middle name Rutherford the Brave) from Wright Way Rescue in May of last year. He is sweet natured and super cuddly and this may be bias but one of the cutest puppies we've ever seen. He has distinctive eyebrows and giant paws that have always smelled like Fritos. A good word to describe his personality is mischievous, and he knows how to use his gentle smile and loving eyes to his advantage when he's done something wrong: i.e. takes all of the tissues out of the bathroom trashcan or licks our pillowcases for thirty minutes.
Some of Odin's favorite foods include carrots, peanut butter, blueberries and sweet potatoes. Along with every other piece of food we accidentally drop on the floor. He also really enjoys sticks, and has to carry home the biggest one he can find most mornings when coming home from the park. Odin is extremely playful and insists on meeting everyone, often showing his defiance by lying on the ground until his friends are close by. Some of his hobbies include basking in the sunshine, chasing birds and sleeping directly in between his parents, belly up in the bed. He is very vocal and has a lot to say, and his stubborn growls are adorable when he has to reluctantly move off the couch for guests.
Odin is really smart and eager (aka treat motivated) to learn. We just enrolled him in Obedience School and can't wait to watch him grow to be a somewhat well behaved newly turned one year old (is that even a thing?). He is proud to be UT's pet of the month! Thanks Urban Tailz!


The microphone is located outside like on many other active noise cancelling devices. This is called feed forward active noise cancelling. Internal mic system is called Feedback Active Noise Cancelling. In noise cancelling, the difference is that the outside microphone has a time advantage over internal mic which enables noise cancelling to work at higher frequencies. With the first and second model, QuietOn is proud to be the first smallest active noise cancelling device.

As many of you have noticed, many changes have occurred on the Ancient Digger Archaeology and History Site. We have a new logo along with a new color scheme. I've been wanting a logo that embodied what I stand for and included little pieces of history all within the artistry.
Artist Jerry Presnell, designed the logo for me. Jerry Presnell studied at the Art Center School in Los Angeles, graduated from the American Academy of Art in Chicago and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree at the University of Illinois. He has exhibited in numerous cities, including Chicago, Illinois, Rochester, New York, Hollywood, California, and Dayton, Ohio, in addition to Florida. His work hangs in locations around the country.
I took the black and white image, and using my amateur hands, added a bit of medieval coloration so to speak.It's a far cry from what Jerry Presnell presented me, but I wanted a splash of color on the site.
The banner on Ancient Digger Archaeology incorporates the entire logo on the far left side, along with a background image, and a close up of the scroll. If you look closely, you may even see the face of an artist hidden in the banner. Let you're imagination run wild.
If you'd like to see more of Jerry Presnell's work, check out his artist's page.

J. Allen Brack on the World of Warcraft Social Experience
Last week, former Blizzard Entertainment president Mike Morhaime stated that World of Warcraft has become less social in an effort to become more accessible over the years, sparking a series of opinions and debates around the subject. Former Systems Lead Ghostcrawler pointed out that the landscape has changed considerably over the last 15 years, with WoW being the first and only social gaming experience for many people at the time, though the Q&A portion of the Activision-Blizzard Q1 2020 Earnings Call earlier today presented yet another perspective.
While the context of the question was actually in reference to sustaining subscriber trends, the response almost certainly had Morhaime's comment in mind as current Blizzard president J. Allen Brack asserted that World of Warcraft is just as social as the day it launched.
J. Allen Brack
I want take a step back and just say we're really thankful that our games are able to play a part in how they bring people together during what's really an unprecedented and challenging time for us all. World of Warcraft has been fortunate to be engineered as a very social experience, and that's as true today as the day we launched. Over time, we've listened to feedback from the community, and the game has evolved to what we now call the "modern game," which has really expanded the breadth and the depth of gameplay, as well as making it easier to kind of find friends, group up, make progress, or play alone, all within the social environment.
At the same time, we've seen a lot of good work for players returning to the Classic WoW experience. So today we think about World of Warcraft as a single community, under one subscription, where players can enjoy both WoW Classic and modern WoW, and we've released a steady stream of content for both. A variety of different experiences has always always been a strength of the game.
Now everyone will have a different idea of what a "social experience" means, and in many ways, J. Allen Brack is correct - a mythic raider is likely to still engage in a lot of social aspects with their guild, in raids, mythic+, possibly PvP, and more. The game may make it easier (aka more accessible) to do those things, but it still absolutely encourages and rewards you for engaging with other players while doing so. What the game doesn't do, and the main difference from Classic, is require you to be social in order to engage in those activities whatsoever, and that's an extremely important distinction because for one not everyone wants to be social 24/7, but it also reduces the barrier for entry, which in turn encourages a larger overall playerbase.
Vanilla/Classic WoW doesn't give you many options - a lot less content is soloable and virtually any group content requires engagement... and that's good in many ways, but it's also more difficult - it can sometimes take hours to form groups, which fall apart as soon as someone decides to leave, there aren't multiple difficulties for more or less hardcore players, and you're really only given one way (for the most part) to do things. So called "modern WoW", or what we typically refer to as retail, presents many more options - less ambitious or time-constrained players can queue into LFR or join matchmade groups, but they typically don't get into the highest form of content doing that either - for the high end player the game still retains those social demands; you might manage to get into a high end raid guild or Mythic+ push group without engaging with those people regularly, but it's pretty rare.
In many ways, you could even argue that WoW has evolved to become even more social, just not all within the game itself. Many Discord servers are gargantuan communities of players brought together by the game, with the largest clocking in at around 100,000 members discussing the game in real-time, a concept completely unheard of in 2004 in which most communication took place on the game forums. There are many more theorycrafting groups, discord channels, news sites, communities, forums, optimization tools, guides, twitch streams, and youtube channels than at any point in the game's history, so there's definitely a social aspect to WoW, it's simply spread out across more mediums than just the game itself. Even Battle.net chat is a vast improvement in communicating with friends and fellow players over having to be in the same region, on the same server, in the same faction, and online at the same time in order to talk to or play with one another.
So again, it depends on your perspective. World of Warcraft isn't the only thing that has evolved in the 15 years since its release - players and the tools they use have as well. While the social aspect might not be as required as it was before and it's completely possible to get through the majority of the game without experiencing it whatsoever, it still very much exists for those who look for it and seek to get the most out of the game.


We'll never speak badly about chocolate or diamonds. But this Valentine's Day, we're lusting after something a bit more long-lasting than material things. This year, give your loved one the gift of memories and plant an herb garden together. Here's why our outdoor DIY herb garden kit is the best Valentine's day gift money can buy.
However much we might love "stuff," real-life experiences help shape our identity and create life-long memories. In fact, one study conducted by the Harris Group, found that 78% of millennials would choose to spend money on a desirable experience rather than buying a tangible object. That's because doing things with the people you love is far more valuable than giving objects (unless, of course, the stuff truly evokes joy — thanks Marie Kondo). In other words, growing together is the valentine's day gift that only grows more love, i.e. the ultimate romantic gift.
Yes, traditionally, Valentine's Day is about your romantic partner, but why not make it about all your loved ones? The hobby of gardening is perfect for enjoying with the entire family. You can learn and perfect your gardening skills, reap the benefits of growing as a family, and take pride in what you all grow together. If you're a growing novice, don't worry! Our Grow Pro experts are by your side to help you throughout your entire gardening journey. It'll be even more satisfying to learn alongside your children and partner. For the best tips for family gardening, click here.
The great thing about growing? It only grows more memories. Whether you're creating memories while growing or creating memories while eating your garden's harvests, you'll be constantly sharing time with the ones you love. Looking for a fun 'Galentine's' idea? Order one of our Cocktail Herb Gardens by February 12th, grab your besties, and get growing! Our kit is ready to plant and ready to use for your special girls' night in. By V-day, you'll be sipping cocktails garnished with your very own freshly-harvested herbs. Longtime gardener Lauren Conrad ("The Hills," anyone?) actually grows her own herbs and has a wonderful blackberry champagne cocktail complete with lavender, thyme, and rosemary.
So this Valentine's Day, cultivate your relationships and let love grow with one of our outdoor garden kits. It's the best Valentine's Day gift around. Psst! To celebrate the day of love, use code "MintToBe" and enjoy a free, 3 oz soy rose candle from our sister company, Garden Inspired Living, with any purchase of an outdoor herb or cocktail garden kit.

Clemson Spoil Noles Dream
Posted by Bud Alderman BUDS EYE VIEW November 13, 2017 mode_comment0
Today's game at Clemson is very much out of the norm. FSU opens as a decided underdog at -16. I am sure all odds are them leaving Death Valley with a 3-6 record. The Noles will need to do something that they haven't been able to do all year, and that is limiting turnovers, as well as mental mistakes.
Although the games have been close the past several years this is the 1st time that Florida State has come into the game with a losing record as a member of the ACC.
What occurred today has been the story of this season. Although FSU could not muster any offense in the 1st half, the defense played their hearts out. A look at the halftime stats shows a score of 17-0 in favor of the Tigers. What they don't show is how this was accomplished. At the half, Clemson had run 42 plays for a total of 183 yards. The Noles had a pathetic 46 yards on 26 plays. The defense was on the field far too much, but what the picture does not show are the scoring drives. On the Tigers 1st score, FSU QB James Blackman was sacked and fumbled the ball away on the Noles 20. It took Clemson 6 plays to cover the 20 yards for a 7-0 lead. (Mistake #1-fumble)
James Blackman Sacked by Clemson
In the 2nd quarter, Clemson was on a long drive, but the Noles forced a fumble to stop the drive. On the ensuing drive, Blackman once again fumbled, but FSU center Alec Eberle recovered in the end zone and moved the ball out to the 4. Logan Tyler then hit a punt of 59 yards. The only problem was Clemson's Ray-Ray McCloud returned the punt from his own 37 to the Seminole 28. On the 1st play from scrimmage, the Tiger line opened a hole in the middle, and Travis Etienne ran virtually untouched for the TD putting Clemson up 14-0. (Mistake #2-Special teams) At this point, Clemson is up 14-0 with a 20-yard drive and a 28-yard drive.
After FSU went 3 and out Clemson once again drove the field, but a sack of QB Kelly Bryant and a forced fumble by the Noles Brian Burns looked like the D made another critical stop. The problem was linebacker Matthew Thomas tried to scoop the ball up and fumbled it himself. In the scrum, Clemson ended up maintaining possession and after an incomplete pass the Tigers Alex Spence kicked a 26 yard FG, which led to the 17-0 halftime score. (Mistake #3-fall on the fumble) That proved to be Clemson's longest scoring drive of the game. 9 plays and 62 yards.
** In a postgame interview with Thomas he said "I saw the open field in front of me and wanted to pick up the ball and score. I wanted to provide a spark. The only problem was I took my eye off the ball. My bad!"**
The 2nd half was a completely different story as the Seminole defense held the Tigers to two drives totaling 41 yards in 12 plays, before starting a comeback of their own. With FSU taking over on their own 10, Blackman marched them down the field on a 7 play 90-yard drive with RB Jacques Patrick running it in from the 3.
The Seminole defense remained stout and kept Clemson off the board in the 3rdquarter. When the Noles took the ball with 10:22 left in the game and the score at 17-7, QB James Blackman hit 3 straight passes with the 3rd being a 60 yard TD to tight end Ryan Izzo. At that point, it was a game at 17-14, and suddenly the crowd was very quiet. On the next drive, Clemson QB Kelly Bryant fumbled on his own 39 and was recovered by the Seminoles Brian Burns, at the Clemson 40.
At that point, you could have heard a pin drop in the stadium as the Clemson faithful were stunned. They didn't have to worry though as on the very 1st play Blackman ruined all the momentum that FSU had going by throwing an interception. The ball was picked by Van Smith at the Clemson 18 and returned to the FSU 44. (Mistake #4)
It took Clemson 6 plays to cover the 44 yards to pad their lead to 24-14. Also, with taking 3:36 off the clock FSU got the ball back with 3 minutes left. Being forced to go for it on 4th down at their own 28 and 2:13 left, the Noles failed to convert, and Clemson once again had a short field. They covered the final 28 yards in 3 plays for the final score of 31-14.
Clemson is a very good team, but when you give them touchdown drives of 20, 28, 44 and 28, you aren't going to win this game.
In the postgame, someone made a statement that FSU's streak of winning seasons (dating back to their last season with a losing record 5-6 in 1976 in Bobby Bowden's 1styear) had come to an end. After thinking about that statement, it came to me that this still might not be the case. With 3 wins to close out the regular season and a bowl win, they can still finish at 7-6. This is not near what was anticipated when the season started, but it would still be a confidence builder going into 2018.
We will just have to see how it plays out!

Ignore the tigers, turn your back on the giraffes and go native!
Paignton Zoo's half term event proves that zoos aren't all about exotic species.
The Zoo is launching a season dedicated to native species. It's called Nearby Nature and it begins this half term with a trail of 18 things to do outside, both at the Zoo and at home.
There are suggestions for things to do at home: go into your garden at night, build a bug hotel, create a compost heap, put up bird feeders, build a log pile for mini beasts, help bees, for example.
So this half term when you visit Paignton Zoo, ignore the tigers, turn your back on the giraffes and go native!

Fallout 4 Creation Kit Coming In April
by Nathan Gibson
in Articles, Video Games
When Fallout 4 first released, developer Bethesda promised that they would be bringing mod support in the form of the Creation Kit as soon as possible. While modding have already been available since the launch on PC, this new kit allows players to customize the game in the same way that players have been doing with Skyrim for several years.
The Creation Kit essentially gives users the same tools that were used by the developers themselves to modify the game, giving them the opportunity to make significant changes. According to director Todd Howard, the aim is to release the update between the first two pieces of downloadable content. This gives it a likely release date of April, with the Xbox One version coming a month later and the PlayStation 4 edition a month after that.

Today's Daily Observer
To Gordon Arthur Cyril 'Butch' Stewart, OJ CD, with love
Jan 6, 2021 | Editorials | 0 comments
A Caribbean Olympian has slipped this mortal ken, and the entire Caribbean and the rest of the world, mourns. We here at NEWSCO wish to extend our heartfelt condolences to his dear wife, Chyril, his children, Brian Jardim, Jamie Stewart-McConnell, Jonathan, Adam, and the rest of the family of the Honourable Gordon 'Butch' Stewart, OJ CD, who transitioned to his eternal abode, that great Sandals and Beaches Resort in the Beyond, at the age of seventy-nine.
Of course, 'Butch Stewart,' as he was affectionately called in the land of his birth, Jamaica, was a true Caribbean man. We here in Antigua and Barbuda were quite honoured that he chose our beautiful isle as one of the first territories in which to set up an arm of his world-renowned Sandals Resorts outside of Jamaica. Fortunately for the rest of the Caribbean, he did not let his expansion end here on our shores. Rather, he saw the Caribbean as his oyster, and he moved up and down the archipelago, from shore to shore, and sea to shining sea. At last count, the Sandals luxury brand had footprints on the sands of sixteen Caribbean islands, including The Bahamas, Grenada, St Lucia, Antigua and Barbuda and Barbados, to mention but a few. We understand that he was on the cusp of expanding to at least two other Caribbean islands.
With such an imposing presence, it is clear that Stewart was one of the Caribbean's biggest employers, contributing enormous amounts to our economies, in numerous and varied ways. We're referring to the many spin-offs generated by the Sandals presence – the multiplier effect, if you will. Even in the often overlooked area of advertising, the Sandals brand kept many media entities afloat with their consistent full page ads and press releases. The brand also put many of our islands on the map, with its glowing ads featuring the various islands in the international media houses. At a time when many of our cash-strapped governments could not afford the costly ads promoting their tourism products, Sandals made the world know that these sun-drenched dots in the Caribbean ocean were idyllic bits of paradise, each with its own special flavour, waiting to welcome those seeking a couples' retreat or a honeymoon or a blissful escape from the cold and drudgery of Europe, the United Kingdom, North America, and other less balmy climes.
Mr Gordon 'Butch' Stewart was an extremely generous and good corporate citizen, rising to every need and occasion with extraordinary beneficence. That was never more evident than during this Covid pandemic when the hotel conglomerate stepped up in a big way with relief cheques, food packages and other forms of assistance to its hard-pressed workers, and untold numbers of financially struggling cases around the Caribbean. We are the poorer for his passing. There is an empty space in the Caribbean that will be difficult to fill. After all, he was a larger-than-life gentleman, in every sense of the word, mind you, who planted his reggae-driven feet among our coconut palms, much like the Colossus of Rhodes. He will be sorely missed.
The Prime Minister of Jamaica, Mr Andrew Holness, said of his dearly-departed countryman, "[He was] one of the country's most brilliant, innovative and transformative business minds." And was he ever.We mean, from very humble beginnings in Kingston,as a sales manager at the Dutch-owned, Curacao Trading Company, he saved his earnings assiduously, so much so that, he was able to open his own air-conditioning service and distribution business in 1968, at the fairly young age of twenty-seven years. Of course, he never looked back, and the rest is business-savvy history. It ought to be taught in schools – BUSINESS 101.
Our Prime Minister, the Honourable Gaston Browne, echoed similar sentiments: "The Caribbean has lost an iconic son, a pioneer and revered businessman, whose legacy includes the development of the Caribbean's premier hotel brand, Sandals. His contribution towards the socio-economic development of the region is well-appreciated, and he was held in high esteem by all as one of the most successful Caribbean entrepreneurs, inspiring entrepreneurship throughout the region. . . ." Think,ENTREPRENEURSHIP 101
The political leader of the United Progressive Party, Mr Harold Lovell, in a moving tribute shared: "Truly the world has lost a star, and the Caribbean, a giant; Jamaica has been deprived of one of its beloved sons, and Antigua and Barbuda, one of its staunch friends. Butch Stewart achieved greatness as a visionary who dreamed dreams, but turned his visions into reality as a practical man of affairs. He mastered the art of marketing and created Sandals, a globally competitive brand that stands as an incredible and indelible symbol of Caribbean excellence and ingenuity. And his quest for even higher standards led him to create the Sandals Corporate University in 2012. . . ." Think, MARKETING 101
His smart and charismatic son, Adam Stewart, all of forty years old, the deputy chairman of Sandals Resorts International, and president of the Sandals Foundation, has been ably managing the brand for quite some time, particularly during his father's undisclosed illness. He is 'a chip off the old block,' and there is no doubt that, as was said by Alfred Lord Tennyson in his inspiring classic, ULYSSES: "Though much is taken, much abides / And though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven / That which we are, we are, one equal temper of heroic hearts / Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will / To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." Sandals endures in all her glory! Of that, we are confident.
It was William Shakespeare, the Bard, who declared in TWELFTH NIGHT: "Be not afraid of greatness. Some men are born great, some men achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them." Gordon Butch Stewart achieved greatness by dint of hard work and dedication to his cause. Thankfully, his cause conflated with ours.
He has left the Caribbean a much better place than he met it in 1941. And his enormous legacy lives on. For sure, wherever folks are sipping a pina colada, or having a sex on the beach, or a screaming orgasm (puns intended), or listening to pan music or pulsating reggae rhythms, or dancing to iron band music, or frolicking in the wind-swept surf of the Caribbean, with or without sandals, they will think of Butch Stewart, he of the charming smile, the effervescent personality, and the trade-mark sun glasses.
You did good, Sir. Your life of "greatness reminds us that we can make our lives sublime, and departing, leave behind us, footprints on the sands of time." [Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, VOICES OF THE NIGHT] We love you, Butch Stewart! Rest well!

Midnight Eternal is a symphonic metal band based out of New York City/NJ. The band was formed in March 2014 when two members of Operatika (Richard Fischer and Boris Zaks) invited Daniel Prestup (Rivera Bomma, Spider Rockets) and Mike LePond (Symphony X) to join them in recording a two-song demo. During the recording, the band acquired the talents of vocalist Raine Hilai based on her previous work in theater and her solo endeavor. The planned demo quickly evolved into the formation of a full-time band when it became apparent the group had something special on their hands. Shortly thereafter, Greg Manning (of Spider Rockets, Zamora) joined the band as permanent member taking over bass duties.
Shortly after releasing their demo, which featured the songs "When Love and Faith Collide" and "Masquerade of Lies", the band began to receive numerous offers, and booked a number of high caliber shows. In the years 2014 and 2015, Midnight Eternal shared the stage with Kamelot, Dragonforce, Sonata Arctica, Delain, Xandria, Doro, The Agonist and Quiet Riot, among others. Late 2015 the band hit the studio to record their debut album.
The self-titled debut album was engineered by Eric Rachel [Skid Row, Symphony X] and the mixing and mastering was handled by Tommy Hansen [Helloween, Pretty Maids, Jorn]. The impressive artwork was created by Jan Yrlund [Apocalyptica, Korpiklaani, Delain].
Midnight Eternal will definitely appeal to fans of bands like Delain, Nightwish and Kamelot.

Businesses challenged to help tackle mental health issues in the workplace
By Nicole Regan Deputy group business editor
This is Me event. Picture: Jack Thompson
Firms have been challenged to step up as young people's mental health in West Cumbria hits crisis point.
Members of We Will, set up by youngsters to campaign for change in the way that youth mental health is dealt with, spoke at a business event today, held to coincide with this week's World Mental Health Day.
They told the 100-plus delegates from companies at This is Me: "There is a young people's mental health crisis in West Cumbria and this needs to be addressed now. What can you do to help?
"We need your support to improve mental health. How can you support young people in your workplace?"
The group, made up of 14 to 18-year-olds from Netherhall School in Maryport and Cockermouth School, showed the audience one of its short films, Boy, created to help break down the barriers for their peers to talk about mental health.
They said they had carried out years of research into the mental health issues faced by their age group.
They added: "NHS referrals have quadrupled in a year and young people are waiting 15 months for help. There are no inpatient mental health beds in Cumbria and schools have little access to counsellors. We are starting to see an improvement, but we still need to make a difference. Next year, we have big plans."
Organised by This is Me Cumbria, backed by Sellafield Ltd, Cumbria Constabulary, BAE Systems, Nuclear Decommissioning Authority and Barclays, the event at Energus at Lillyhall was attended by more than 100 representatives from firms across Cumbria.
The theme was young people transitioning into the world of work from school.
Ian Burns, of BAE Systems in Barrow, talked about the issues staff at the shipyard faced – including drug addiction, fractured families, financial pressures, unrealistic career progression goals and social anxiety
Mr Burns said: "We are safeguarding eight per cent of the workforce at any one time. This year, we have opened 79 cases and closed 80 but I think we are looking at double that number as it still goes under-reported.
"People are afraid to say they have issues, because they believe it will impact on their careers.
"Businesses look at the impact of stress-related issues to do with absences, but that is not the largest impact. The largest impact is on the workers who are in work, struggling and maybe unaware they have an issue or are struggling in silence."
The shipyard has several ways for workers to get help, including mental health first aiders, a website and campaigns.
Also speaking at the event were Michael Boaden, of Carlisle Eden Mind, Kath Walker, business systems lead at nucleargraduates, David Wilson, of the University of Cumbria, and Ethan Cohen, of accountancy firm PwC.
Alan Rankin, one of the organisers of the event, said: "We hope the event has inspired people to share best practice and make it okay to not be okay.
"Making sure you are looking after your workers' mental health. It's an investment not a cost. Everyone should look at the amount you spend on absences and covering absences versus what they spend on wellbeing. Do that calculation."

Former Hong Kong Legislator to Receive Award For Distinction in International Law
By David Howard King
Dennis W.H. Kwok will receive the New York State Bar Association International Section's Award for Distinction in International Law and Affairs for his eight years of work as a pro-democracy legislator representing the legal profession in Hong Kong's Legislative Council.
The award will be presented at the New York State Bar Association's Annual Meeting on Wednesday Jan. 26. Kwok and his fellow pro-democracy legislators held back the Chinese government's push to force the once free city into lockstep with its political ideology using the meager legislative tools at their disposal.
"The rule of law, democracy, and human rights are under threat around the world," said International Section Chair Ed Lenci. "At considerable risk to himself, Dennis was a leading advocate for the rule of law, greater democracy, and respect for human rights in Hong Kong."
Kwok utilized the filibuster to challenge the pro government faction and its attempts to further strip power from the democratic majority. Kwok's actions drew the ire of the Chinese government, which banned him from running for office in 2020 as part of China's larger efforts to force political conformity on the city.
Kwok fled to Canada with his family following the ruling by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress to disqualify Kwok and three other pro-democracy legislators from office. Fifteen other members of the body resigned in solidarity.
In 2020, China instituted a sweeping national security law that saw protesters arrested, newspaper editors detained, school curriculum revamped, and property seized.
During his time on the council, Kwok battled human trafficking, advocated for respect for human rights in Hong Kong, and actively pressed the international community for support. He and his allies also successfully lobbied the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for better ESG disclosure requirements concerning forced labor practices in supply chains.
Kwok joined Georgetown University's Asian Studies Program as a distinguished scholar in August 2021. In his private legal practice, Kwok specializes in cross-border commercial disputes and international arbitration. He is the recipient of the 2021 Commonwealth Law Conference Rule of Law Award bestowed by the Commonwealth Lawyers Association. Kwok is a resident senior fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School, Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation.
Honoring attorneys who render extraordinary service to the public and the profession is part of NYSBA's Annual Meeting tradition. The 145th Annual Meeting will focus on more than 65 different topics from Jan. 18 to 28.

About Nashville International Airport – Nashville, Tennessee (BNA)
The Nashville International Airport was initially established in 1937 as Berry Field. It wasn't until 1988 that it was renamed as the Nashville International Airport.

Q: how to pipe into awk script I have this awk script:
#!/usr/bin/awk -f
BEGIN {IGNORECASE=1}
/nVidia/ {inner=1;pci=$1}
/(corr|fatal)err\-/ {if (inner) print pci, $1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, $7}
$0=="" {inner=0}

is there a syntax to always pipe sudo lspci -vvv to this script? I'm having to type sudo lspci -vvv|./checkpci each time I run the script. I know I could create a second script to launch the first script, but I think that is messy and would like to know the proper way to do so.
as an aside, I'm having some issues with my graphics card crashing and have seen the UncorrErr flag on some of the devices, does anyone have a reference as to what this means or how to troubleshoot further? right now I'm just going to run this script periodically to see when the errors show up in lspci to see if there is a time correlation.

A: This should work for you:
#!/usr/bin/awk -f
BEGIN {
    IGNORECASE = 1
    cmd = "sudo lspci -vvv"
    while ((cmd | getline) > 0) {
        if ($0 ~ /nVidia/) {inner = 1; pci = $1}
        if ($0 ~ /(corr|fatal)err\-/) {if (inner) print pci, $1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, $7}
        if ($0 == "") {inner = 0}
    }
    close(cmd)
}

A: I would change your awk script into a shell script:
#!/bin/sh
sudo lspci -vvv | /usr/bin/awk '
  BEGIN {IGNORECASE=1}
  /nVidia/ {inner=1;pci=$1}
  /(corr|fatal)err\-/ {if (inner) print pci, $1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, $7}
  $0=="" {inner=0}
'
