Q: How can I do variable substitution in this putty plink echo command I'm trying to break down the following plink command and modify it to allow a variable substitution.
plink.exe 192.168.1.1 --% echo """#define MYSPACE""" > /home/my/file.txt
I want to do the following, but But what follows the echo is sent to bash verbatim.
plink.exe 192.168.1.1 --% echo """#define MYSPACE""" > /$(home)/my/file.txt
Constructing the echo string before the plink command doesn't work for the same reason; everything after echo is sent verbatim. How can this be done?

A: On the PowerShell side, if home is a defined environment variable, that will still be expanded after the --%.  So,
plink.exe 192.168.1.1 --% echo """#define MYSPACE""" > /%home%/my/file.txt
For additional information on how the --% works, see "the stop parsing token" at learn.microsoft.com

A: For variable expansion on the bash side, your variable substitution syntax is slightly off.
Most shells want the variable name surrounded by curly braces - { }.  But it looks like you are using parentheses.  In bash, that $(...) construct will try to run a subshell, and you'll get very odd errors.
So, try
plink.exe 192.168.1.1 --% echo """#define MYSPACE""" > /${home}/my/file.txt

Yellowstone Season 4: Who Will Laramie End Up With, Walker or Lloyd?
Friday, 3 December 2021, 12:15 IST
Source: Oregon Live
The series Yellowstone that started in 2018 has been in talks recently because of the questions it's raising as to who will the carefree character of Laramie end up with, will she end up with Lloyd, or will she end up with Walker?. The creators of the series, Taylor Sheridan and John Linson, haven't really hinted to any one of them, and viewers can only keep guessing.
The story follows the ranch owners and anything and everything about their land. Here is our take on what can happen in the near future of Laramie and who she may end up with by the end of it.
Who will Laramie End Up With, Walker or Lloyd?
Source: Tom's Guide
Well, given Laramie's personality and carefree behavior, she doesn't really seem to be a person who would stick to one person all over the series. But our guess is Walker since she's already with him and Lloyd is her ex-boyfriend, so mostly she will end up with Walker. While, another character entry might then make the assumption shaky, as she might just find a new love interest. So, let's root for Walker while he is in the light because you never know who will steal it.
Who Exactly is Laramie in this Drama Series?
So to give you a little background on Laramie and when she entered the storyline, etc. She had entered the series in the third season and was first seen in the fifth episode. Laramie was introduced as the best friend of Mia, and she was also a well-known Barrel Racer. Rip was given the task to find people to work at the ranch, and hence, these girls thought it would be a good opportunity to earn money while they were off.
Laramie is described as a carefree person, and she is quite open-minded. In the later episodes of the third season, we saw that Laramie was into Lloyd, and both of them were shown to be together. However, they were not really shown something of an official pair or anything that hinted at it. Viewers really liked the chemistry and bond they shared, but it was not something serious, and by the end of season three, we find Laramie in Walker's bed.
What is the Series Yellowstone About?
Source: TV Guide
The series is about the Dutton Family, who are said to be the owners of the biggest ranch that exists in the whole of the United States. The series then tells all about the family and what all the drama goes on in their family. The series also shows their face-off with neighboring natives trying to pry on their land and many other things. As it progresses, each member of the family is also given proper screen time.
Where can Viewers Tune in to Watch the Series?
Viewers can watch the series on Paramount plus; viewers can watch it online on their official app or website if they wish to watch it online. The series is also available on Hulu Live TV with a subscription to YouTube TV, DirecTV, etc. Amazon Prime is one of the platforms giving renting or purchasing services. Season four of Yellowstone will soon be available on Peacock.

Model:Portofino

Fuel in Litres:3.9L
About the Ferrari Portofino
The Portofino hire car aims to redress the balance, literally and figuratively, adding a shot of adrenalised dynamism to the usability and versatility beloved of California clients – grintoz, Ferrari calls it, or grittiness – not to mention chiselling away at the old car's, umm, lard-arsed profile. Ferrari's Centro Stile has worked wonders here, crafting a form that has tension in coupe form, particularly in the way the retractable hard-top roof is now convincingly integrated, while still delivering the lissom elegance of a convertible and the trick aero a modern Ferrari needs. Unlike Aston Martin's sublime new DB11 Volante and the next-gen Mercedes SL, Ferrari has stuck with the RHT over the trad canvas soft-top, and insists the weight penalty is negligible. Saving the kilos on a car as content-rich as the Portofino is a tall order, but it's a task Ferrari technical director Philippe Krief and his team have set to with rigour and vigour.
There's an all-new aluminium chassis, using 12 different alloys, key elements of which are now cleverly integrated. Take the A-pillar, for example: on the California it consisted of 21 separate components, now it's a single piece. Hollow castings help improve structural rigidity: the new car is 35 per cent stiffer than the old one. Savings have also been made in the powertrain and electronics, while the seats, heating and ventilation system and dashboard structure are all lighter.
At 1664kg with fluids, the Portofino hire weighs 80kg less than the California T. The engine is a reworked wet-sump iteration of Ferrari's award-winning 3.9-litre twin turbo V8, good for 591bhp in the Portofino and more significantly 561 torques from 3,000 to 5,250rpm. Changes to the hardware include a ten per cent increase in the maximum pressure of the combustion chamber, revised con rods and pistons, and a single cast exhaust manifold. There's now more power at the top end of the rev range. Ferrari, understandably, is hell-bent on giving its new-age turbo engines the throttle response, savage sonic signature, and irresistible character of the atmospheric V8s many of us still lust after. As powertrain director Vittorio Dini told TG: "Extracting more power from a turbocharged engine isn't just a matter of playing with the boost: you have to make it harmonious, robust, and driveable."

Al believes strongly in the role of volunteerism and partnerships with agencies to help get mutually agreed upon mission work accomplished.
Joe Franchini, Honorary Board
*People love the backcountry wilderness for many reasons. For Joe Franchini, it's the people he meets in the woods.
"Some of the nicest people I've met in this world I've met in the backcountry," he said last week. A successful businessman, Franchini grew up in New Jersey but always had a love for horses and cattle. He rode horses in endurance races and raised Scottish Highlanders. In the early 1980s, he read a story in the Smithsonian magazine about a foundation being formed to support and complete projects in the Bob Marshall Wilderness.
About 30 people nationwide showed interest in coming to Montana, but when push came to shove, only Franchini, a friend and another couple showed up at the Hungry Horse Ranger Station that summer to actually do any work. Franchini eventually gave up life in New Jersey and moved permanently to Montana, where he has business interests in Columbia Falls, including a partnership in the Nite Owl Restaurant. He continued to volunteer with the Forest Service and the Bob Marshall Foundation, working on dozens of projects over the years, from trail crew grunt work to packing in supplies by mule train.
He says he lives his life by a simple motto: Do something good and someone will know you were here.
The Franchini Family Foundation continues to provide financial support to the Bob Marshall Foundation, and Joe, at age 77, hopes to work on some projects this summer after a few years away from the woods.
*Franchini photo and Bio from a 2012 Hungry Horse News article written by Chris Peterson
Ray Mills, Honorary Board
Ray's fascination with the mountains began when he was 10 years old. His grandfather took him fishing on the Blackfoot Reservation. Fishing wasn't that good so they drove up to Logan Pass in Glacier National Park. There Ray saw two Park Service pack strings winding their way up to the pass. He remembers telling Grandfather Mills, "That is what I'm going to do when I grow up". Ray kept his promise to himself. As soon as he graduated from high school he went to work for the Forest Service on the Rocky Mountain District of the Lewis and Clark National Forest. His career spanned 45 years, from 1955-2000, all on the same district. He was always involved in trail management, much of which was in the Bob Marshall Wilderness. His favorite part of the job was the last 20 years when he combined trail and wilderness supervision and animal packing. During his career, Ray worked with a variety of volunteer groups including the Sierra Club, the East Slope Backcountry Horsemen and the Wilderness Treatment Center.
Following retirement, Ray began working with his brothers, Ron and Tucker, in their outfitting business, Mills Wilderness Adventures of Montana. It keeps him active in the "Bob" summer and fall.
Ken Ausk, (9/16/1934- 12/2/2014) Honorary Board
Ken started traveling and hunting in the Bob in the late 60's and says it was love at first sight. For many years he tried to get 40 days under canvas every year but never quite made it - 38 was the best he could do while still trying to make a living. He's seen a lot of the Bob and there's a lot he probably will never see, but he claims all of his travels were good. In 1973 he and three friends became worried about the direction the regulations and management policies might be headed and the fact there was no money to administer Wilderness, so they founded Back Country Horsemen. The purpose of the organization was to serve as a sounding board for the Forest Service, provide logistical support for work projects, represent horsemen concerning horse issues, teach responsible low impact horse methods, and to protect the resource. BCH continues today and has grown to include chapters in 25 states, with over 13,000 members carrying on the tradition, and providing volunteer trail work and packing support for other volunteer groups, including the BMWF. Years ago Ken was extensively involved in the formation of the Limits of Acceptable Change (LAC) concept for the Bob Marshall Wilderness Management Plan which has helped protect the resource. Ken is retired from Bonneville Power Administration and says he is honored to be placed on our Board with Smoke Elser and Dave Owen who he has known and respected for many years.

Emerging technologies are making the electronics industry even more competitive, elevating the importance manufacturers place on product differentiation, reliability, and speed to market.
When carrying out reliability testing calculations, there are two popular methods that are frequently chosen: Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) and Physics of Failure (PoF). While both approaches provide answers regarding a product's predicted reliability, there are several key differences between the two that could have a significant impact on product development. A PoF approach offers several unique advantages over MTBF, but first, here's a quick overview of how both methods evolved.
Avionics systems are complex and often interdependent, as demonstrated in an aircraft cockpit that houses control, monitoring, communication, navigation, weather and anti-collision systems. These highly regulated electronics are among the most expensive and standardized products available—considerable investments that are expected to perform for up to 30 years, making the determination of product lifetime reliability a top priority.

Meet Tomo Katuric, World-Class Philatelist from Kamenari
By Antonela Stjepčević, 15 Feb 2019, 17:00 PM Meet the People
Tomo Katuric at the World Exhibition in Atina, private photo collection
Antonela Stjepčević
February 15, 2019 - The sea captain, Tomo Katuric, is the president of the Alliance of the Philatelists of Montenegro, but also a member of the Royal Philatelic Society in London and the European Philatelic Academy in Paris. His great successes recommended him also to be a member of the jury of the World Association of Philatelists FIPA.
Tomo is one of the two people from Balkans to become a member of the Royal Philatelic Society in London, sponsored by Queen Elisabeth II. The Society was founded in 1869 under the patronage of the royal family and consists of 1609 members.
"I become a member in January 2007 with the recommendation of Mr Alan Higgins, an English Lord- one of the leading persons in the world of English philately, as well as at the recommendation of the President of the Philatelists of Italy- Alessandro Agostosi. It was an honor and a pleasure because you can be recommended there only through your success, and by that time I had already had two world gold medals- from Washington and Malaga," explains Tomo Katuric.
"The gold from Washington is very special to me because it stands as the first gold medal engraved in the culture of Montenegro - as the first gold medal coming to Montenegro after the referendum on independence," says Tomo. The World Philatelic Exhibition, held in 2006 in Washington under the patronage of the President of the USA, was also the first public solo performance of the Montenegrin Postal Service at a philatelic exhibition after 1897. Tomo won the Gold medal among 650 exhibitioners from 70 countries presenting his unique collection "The Postal History of Boka 1809-1875."
He is the successor to the old Captain's family from Kamenari in Boka Bay. About 50 percent of philatelic collections that he now owns with his wife and son succeeded, while the rest managed to upgrade to world auctions, thus reaching the world's largest philately class.
"The Katuric family arrived in Boka in 1697 during the Turkey-Venice wars, also known as Moreja wars. They were mainly sailors and merchants. My great grandfather Mato was a sailing ship captain, my grandfather Tomo was a merchant, inherited by my father Djuro, also inheriting the bar in Kamenari in 1906 which has been opened ever since," explains Tomo.
He started exhibiting in 2001, but he took on philately in 1974 when his uncle Lazar "handed" his collection to Tomo to continue the tradition which had been started by his great grandfather Mato. Katuric's collection is unique, and its big part comes from the family correspondence letters.
From the collection "The Postal History of Boka 1809-1875", Copyright: Boka News"
"Today, Tomo owns up to 15 gold medals from world exhibitions. The greatest attention and acknowledgment is drawn to his main philately collecting collection from the days of Napoleon and the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. The collection "Postal History of Boka Bay 1809-1875" contains 250 letters, or 128 pages from the Napoleon era. It includes the first postmark issued in Austro-Hungarian 1850, as well as letters from the time Napoleon ruled over these areas. Until 1850, the letters were only sealed, qualifying as pre-philately, but in the collection, there were also letters with stamps, that is, after the founding of the Post Office of the World in Bern in 1874, when Montenegro was one of the 22 founding countries.
The family of Katurić is a collection of four collections, and besides mentioned, Tomo owns a philatelist collection "The Boka and Montenegro Occupation 1941-1945." The son Djordje has a collection of "The letters of the Bokelian Sailors 1839-1880", and his wife Jelisaveta achieves remarkable successes on the world exhibits presenting her collection "The Letters of Sailors from the Austro-Hungarian Fleet 1914-1918". According to FIPA rules, one man can exhibit a maximum of two, and a family of four collections. The Katuric family is also unique in our country and can boast of over 40 of the most significant recognitions of European and world exhibitions.
It is interesting to point out that the post office in Boka Bay, or more precisely in Herceg Novi, has been open for 70 years longer.
"The post at Herceg Novi was opened in 1804, 70 years before Cetinje. This shows us the history, culture and the mail of these regions. This kind of information cannot be praised by most of the 92 member states that are gathered by the World Philatelist Organization."
All collections of the Katuric family talk about Boka Bay and its maritime history, which is not surprising given that the love for collecting and seafaring are the inseparable segments of their members' lives for more than two hundred years.
Tomo is delighted to bring the story of the culture of our region around the globe, even after the celebrated era of the Bokelian maritime affairs. "I have been to and exhibited on all the continents, except Arctic and Antarctica. Thanks to philately and sailing, I have visited more than 200 cities and have seen five out of seven world wonders, proudly representing my home place Kamenari, the town of Herceg Novi, the Boka Bay and Montenegro."
There is no rule to the profession most commonly dealing with philately. Still, within the circle of the top world philatelist, Tomo is the only seaman. "It is interesting that I am usually not called by my real name but "Bocca di Cattaro"- after my collection," Tomo proudly marks.

Another deliciously squirmy story about Harry the Poisonous Centipede, with all Lynne Reid Banks' usual charm and humor.
Harry the poisonous centipede and his friend, George, are captured by the dreaded Hoo-Mins. How on earth can they escape from their hard-air prisons? Glass jars are too hard to climb, they're too slippery, and the holes in the top are small. But when the Not-So-Big-Hoo-Min's Mother accidentally knocks over two glass jars that happen to be holding a scorpion and a tarantula, all hell breaks loose....
Harry and George seize the opportunity to escape - but just as they make for home, they are dived on by the biggest 'flying-swooper' they've ever seen and dumped in the ocean...how will they survive?
This is just the start of Harry's adventures as he encounters the marine centipedes who turn out to be very unpleasant little creatures indeed!

Yar har har, prepare for your vessel to be boarded with this robot on deck! His creator was a fugitive from the law, and to continue his life's work, he created Pirate Man to attack and steal from cargo vessels, being captured shortly after. At first, Pirate Man wandered aimlessly, but the second he "found" a suitable vessel, he began his work, with the help of the Remote Mine. Speaking of, it appears to be a small mine, but since it can be detonated remotely, it's taken over many a ship. After a while, Pirate Man began doubting his life style, but was invigorated when he joined King's army, plundering the sea like never before. In fact, it was speculated that many ship attacks during King's attack were led by Pirate Man. He's a fearless and ruthless captain, going at any means to get his goal, even if this means turning the odds in his favor. Pirate Man will also do anything to gain further profit, and quickly became known as "The Scourge of the Seven Seas." After King's defeat, he was confronted by Dive Man and his fleet. It was a long, drawn-out battle between the two, but Pirate Man eventually just gave up-Being a pirate just wasn't the way he wanted to live anymore. He now serves as a ship captain, sailing the seven seas he loves so vastly without the dangers of pirating. Despite giving up his scallywag life-style, he still fights like a pirate, so beware the Scourge of the Seven Seas!


Will nail polish prevent rust?
I am having a Science Fair coming up in about a month. I am a little stuck! I thought maybe you can help me! My purpose of the report is to find out which household items can prevent rust?, I am going the coat 4 nails in nail polish, motor oil, cooking spray, and glue. I will then let it sit in a cup of water for 5 days. I need to start writing the rough draft and I don't have enough info. for it. the results were the nail that was coated in nail polish did not rust. I need to find out why? perhaps there is a special ingredient in the nail polish which doesn't allow it to rust. I don't know I can't find out why? please help me find out!
A. To have rust, you need iron, moisture and oxygen. When you painted the nail, you kept the moisture and the oxygen from getting to the iron, thus no rust.
A. Consider this: Rust is oxidation. You need contact with an electrolyte to rust. You did what with the nail polish to the nail? Did the nail polish stay on the nail when it was in the water?
Q. Me and some peers are doing a science fair project to see which household projects can prevent rusting, and we are stuck because the teacher asked us to do some research on why nail polish prevents rusting. We are trying to find out what is it that nail polish has that it can prevent rusting and why?
A. Hi Vanesa. It's not about a magic ingredient; as James & James explained, it's about putting a coating on the object which discourages water and oxygen from reaching the iron/steel. If you painted the object the result would be similar.Fingernail polish is just probably more available for your experiment.
It's not terribly different from putting your nail or other object into a Zip-loc plastic bag, or sealing it up real good with scotch tape before submerging it ... if you keep the air and water away from the object, it's not going to rust.
But you can certainly research nail polish to understand what is in it. As the acetone solvent evaporates, it leaves a pretty watertight coating on the object.

Paramount Plus SHOWTIME
Paramount+ & Showtime Streaming Bundle Pricing Set at $11.99 a Month, Bigger Discounts for Annual Bundles
Oct 25, 2021, 7:47 AM PDT – Michael King
ViacomCBS has settled on pricing for the streaming bundle that will let you get Paramount Plus and Showtime with a substantial savings. The company offers two streaming bundles: The Paramount+ Essentials and Showtime Bundle is $11.99 a month. The Paramount+ Premium Ad-Free Plan is $14.99 a month.
For the last six weeks, they had offered a limited time discount on the bundle that priced it at $9.99 a month with ads and $12.99 a month ad-free.
Purchasing an annual plan for the two plans gives an even deeper discount for the bundles: the Paramount+ Essentials and Showtime Bundle is available for $119.99 per year (that's $10/month), while the Paramount+ Premium Ad-Free Plan is available for $149.99 per year ($12.50/month) — similar to the earlier offer.
All of the plans include a one-week free trial for new subscribers.
Paramount+Showtime Bundle Pricing
Monthly Bundles
Paramount+ Essential ($4.99) & Showtime ($10.99): $11.99 (normally $15.98)
Paramount+ Premium Ad-Free ($9.99) & Showtime ($10.99): $14.99 (normally $20.98)

(Save 16% Off the Monthly Price)
Paramount+ Essential & Showtime: $111.99
Paramount+ Premium Ad-Free & Showtime: $149.99
$111.99+ / yr. paramountplus.com
What is the Difference Between Essential and Premium?
The Paramount+ Essential service provides:
Tens of thousands of episodes & movies
NFL on CBS & top soccer
Limited ads
24/7 live news with CBSN
SHOWTIME originals, movies & sports
The Paramount+ Premium service offers:
NFL on CBS, top soccer & more sports
No ads except live TV & a few shows
Your local CBS station live
Download your shows to watch later
Subscribers were offered discounted introductory pricing through Oct. 20. This offer solidifies the pricing for the bundle, while keeping a substantial discount over the regular price for the services if purchased separately.
"This powerhouse bundle gives us the opportunity to connect ViacomCBS' diverse and differentiated cross-genre content slate with even more consumers," said Tom Ryan, President and Chief Executive Officer, ViacomCBS Streaming when the introductory plan was first unveiled. "Paramount+ and SHOWTIME are both experiencing tremendous growth and momentum, and we expect this competitively priced bundle to only further expand the reach of both services."
Last year, ViacomCBS launched a deal that allowed Apple TV+ subscribers ($4.99 a month) to receive Paramount+ Ad-Free ($9.99) and Showtime ($10.99) for just $9.99 a month. However, they discontinued that offer to new subscribers in February.
In September, ViacomCBS Executive Vice President and CFO Naveen Chopra, speaking at a Bank of America Securities conference on the potential for the bundle, "We've sort of built our streaming strategy around the notion of a streaming ecosystem that has a free, pay and premium component to it," Chopra said, referring to the company's three primary streaming products — Pluto TV, Paramount+, and Showtime.
Chopra said the strategy gives the company the opportunity to cross-pollinate between the three services, while at the same time serving the broadest base of potential consumers.
"We've got a Paramount Plus-Showtime bundle that we'll be launching later this month," he said. "I think we found interesting ways to create value out of that ecosystem by sampling; by doing promotions; by creating bundles across those different services."
"We really like what we can do from a marketing and an acquisition perspective with that portfolio," Chopra said, referring to the three streaming platforms. "Having all three services does unlock incremental value."

showtime.com
SHOWTIME offers a subscription video streaming service that gives access to content on Showtime without the need of a cable subscription. With your subscription, you'll get access to all of their current originals like Billions, Shameless, Homeland, Ray Donovan, Black Monday, and On Becoming a God in Central Florida.

Pluto TV is a free live TV streaming service that provides more than 250 channels of live TV and thousands of on demand movies and TV shows.
Most of what you'll find on Pluto TV qualifies as "background television." It's fine to keep on while you're scrolling on your phone or cooking something in the kitchen.
Because these aren't traditional live TV channels, it's not a great option for live events, news, or sports, but it's a solid choice for cord cutters who want to supplement their other services with some "comfort food" TV.

Home Entertainment, Lifestyle, PoliticsLela Lee: The Original Angry Little Girl
Lela Lee: The Original Angry Little Girl
September 1, 2010• byStephanie S. Lee
Courtesy Lela Lee Facebook Fan Page
Traditionally, Asians are brought up to respect all forms of authority, be silent unless called upon and above all, always have a calm and courteous demeanor in public. As a child, Lela Lee, the creator of Angry Little Girls was told to brush things off and smile instead of standing up for herself. When she encountered hostility at school, her mother answered: "Just be nice to them, it's a matter of you assimilating."
Unsatisfied with this response but unable to change the status quo, Lee kept her mouth shut. It wasn't until one day at UC Berkeley that she unleashed her frustrations in a class-assigned video short, Angry Little Asian Girl's First Day at School.
The stereotypes exposed in her video garnered much praise, and people of all races began to take notice. From those reactions she realized, "It didn't matter what ethnicity you were, we all know what it's like to be underestimated by our appearance."
Courtesy AngryLittleGirls.com
Three years later, she had built an empire, titled Angry Little Girls, with additional characters, and began selling her first batch of graphic tees online, with cheeky phrases like "Get your own t-shirt, B*tch!" People paid attention, and Lee fought to keep the shirts in stock.
When she transformed her video short into print, Lee knew she wanted to continue using anger as her emotional medium. The flood of reactions to her video helped her see that anger was universally difficult to deal with.
The decision to expand into comics was natural. People kept referring to her video as a comic, so she decided it was time to make an official comic strip. Like the use of catharsis in Greek tragedies, her strips express anger for those who are afraid to recognize it in themselves. As the Angry Little Asian Girl would say, "Profanity provides relief." Not only are the comics funny, but they also serve a deeper purpose by empowering female readers to be more assertive about their emotions, especially public anger, as traditionally discouraged in Asian cultures.
Learning to embrace her anger was a very important lesson for one reader, who was diagnosed with cancer and kept struggling with how angry she felt at the world. Lee's book helped her recover, teaching her that it was okay to be angry, to accept that some things are out of your control and to not feel guilty about her feelings. For Lee, hearing how her comics helped a reader heal from cancer was "the most touching thing anyone has said" to her about her work.
Although Lee started with an Angry Little Asian Girl, anger is no longer the only emotion that her characters express.
"Females express anger in so many different ways," Lela explained. "So I made the [new] girls all have different personalities."
Each character represents a natural emotion everyone feels at one point or another. Xyla, for example, embodies the depression that people often find shameful and hide. Wanda is the optimistic, uplifting friend who is fun but can also get extremely annoying. The takeaway: All emotions are as valid as anger, and the key is to recognize and accept them as normal reactions to life.
Angry Little Girls might have begun as a simple class assignment, but for viewers everywhere, it zoned in on the need to address and accept raw and unapologetic emotion. Lee's work shows us that you don't always have to swallow your emotions—sometimes it's good to just let it out. In fact, you should "stay angry and write it all down," she advised. "It will serve you later." As someone who built a successful business based on once-suppressed anger, she would know.

DAVAO CITY (MindaNews / 09 July)– Top executives from Asia and Europe will participate in the two-day Investment Conference (iCon) on July 21 to 22, 2017 at the SMX Convention Center Davao.
Arturo Milan, chair of the Davao iCon 2017 and trustee of the Davao City Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. (DCCCII), said the Office of the President has committed to bring in 30 to 40 big Chinese investors to the two-day gathering.
Aside from Chinese businessmen, he said there will be 24 Indonesian and 15 Japanese investors who have already confirmed attendance and signified interest to participate in the possible business matching with some local business players in the Davao Region.
Milan added that this year's investment conference will focus on infrastructure and connectivity, agriculture, tourism, and manufacturing.
President Rodrigo R. Duterte will also grace the opening day of the two-day gathering where 200 business executives have so far confirmed to join. But he said they are expecting about 700 participants.
Some of Duterte's economic managers will also be present, including, among others. Finance secretary Carlos G. Dominguez, Transportation secretary Arthur Tugade, and Trade secretary Ramon Lopez.
Davao iCon program committee chair Jon Trias added this is the first time ever that such a huge number of top executives in the country have confirmed weeks ahead of the event and despite the declaration of martial due to the ongoing clashes between government forces and Islamic State-inspired Maute Group.
Milan said British Chamber of Commerce and European Union Chamber of Commerce will send delegation to the conference.
Among the country's top companies who will participate include San Miguel Corp., Lafarge Holcim, AboitizPower, MVP Group of Companies, BDO, Landbank of the Philippines, Development Bank of the Philippines, Security Bank, Metrobank, Globe Telecommunications, Anflocor, and 8990 Housing Development Corp.
"We open this (Davao) up to foreign delegates as well. Why invest in Davao because Davao is open for business. We have rich natural resources, we have a a very favorable climate here compared to the rest of the country," he said.

I think it's worth having a post admiring how incredible the names of these are.

It's honestly more of a question of who's more popular/who actually knows about it, not who's better.

Another weird music video collab with a company. Wish they'd return to performance videos and jam again.
Here it is: our collaboration with Project Spark. Instead of a traditional music video for GUILTY ALL THE SAME (feat. Rakim), we are giving you this as a starting line for you guys to create and share. This is the first interactive, remixable game. We look forward to seeing what you make with it." - Joe

can't wait for the stems of the song...
just look at the end of this news: http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/594...ty-all-the-same

Is it only me or the song version in the video contain different mix/mastering?
KikiSparkle
This better not be in place of an official video.
Next they'll be asking us to make the music for them.....
Astat
Yeah, definitely a different mix. The whole song has a weird "underwater" kind of tone to it that may not be intentional (the audio on the WID music video on LP's Youtube channel is all fucked up too and has been since the day it was uploaded - Youtube does weird shit to the audio depending on the encoding of the original file), but the levels are also a lot different, there's an additional vocal part an octave below the melody during the second verse, and Rakim's last "you're guilty" line echoes a lot longer on this version.
*Edit* And yep, stems for the song should definitely be available on Project Spark. Unfortunately I don't have an Xbox One or a device that runs on Windows 8 (nor do I ever intend to own either one), so I won't be taking part in this. I guess it's up to other people to get the stems...hopefully this doesn't turn into another Guitar Hero/Rock Band stems type situation where it takes over a year for them to actually get "out there."

I just want the stems.
No interest in the video aspect, but I really want those stems.
Yeah, I don't care about the video, just the mother fucking stems , I want to listen every instrument and vocal part of that song, gang vocals would be awesome.
1. What the heck is an Xbox One? I thought the Xbox was called the 360.
2. Windows 8 is puuuuuure garbage. Easily the worst operating system I've seen.
I have no idea why they try these technology promos with stuff that isn't commonplace yet. I know no one with Windows 8 and I've never heard of Xbox One. So if you don't play video games and don't want a shitty OS, you can't get it?
Reminds me of the Concert For The Philippines webcast. "lol iPhone users only". Aaaand you wonder why we didn't get a good recording of the show.

XBox One aka the Next Gen Console of Microsoft that has by far not sold as many items as Sony has Sold PS4s
Windows ME is still worse than Windows 8, I still only knew very few people who use it because it's basically a tablet OS and not pretty good on normal laptops.
I could install win8 on one of my machines, wouldn't be worth it tho
now on YouTube, too:

Well I love Win8 it's faster than W7.
I've come back to the song after a while of not listening to it, and I do really like it. If anything the Rakim section is my favourite part of it, so much groove and his verse is killer. The production does leave a lot to be desired, hopefully listening to it on CD rather than through YouTube will improve that slightly.
Seems as though this IS the official video for GATS. LP's post on Facebook says ''Linkin Park's new video is a game''. Great.
I think they'll choose one of the fan made videos on Project Spark, and they will make that the official music video.
I still think that GATS is like a ''fan single'' the real single will come out before the album drops.
They haven't really ruled out there being a "regular" GATS video at some point, people just seem to be jumping to that conclusion.

but we haven't really heard anything from them about making a real one either. On the other hand the BID video came out over a month after the song release.

Lost In The Echo has three music videos - lyric, interactive and regular. I think it'll be the same thing here, but who knows.
If so, the promotion for this album is extremely poor on LP's part.
