Open to the navigation in November 1751, extended and swept until 1761. In 1770, the first basin is finished. Engineer Filippo Nicolis Comte of Robilante undertakes to dig the interior basin but the port will remain incomplete, without embankment. It is only in 1880 that it will reach its last measurements; its finishions are from the beginning of the century. Various enlarging concerning the before-port, around 1975, allowed it to welcome the biggest ferries, improving the links with Corsica (more than 500 000 passengers per year). To the Top end, it is surrounded by the place Island of Beauty edged with buildings with red front and bas-reliefs and balconies.

Naturopathy is a form of alternative medicine. It is based on the belief that a special energy called "vital energy" guides bodily functions such as metabolism, reproduction and growth. Naturopaths mostly use holistic forms of treatment. They generally avoid the use of surgery and drugs. Many naturopaths reject modern science.
The term "naturopathy" comes from Greek and Latin. It means "nature disease". Modern naturopathy developed from the Natural Cure movement in Europe.

One way to have a good day is to succeed at something you've never done before. The options are endless. So are the positive feelings that envelop you afterward. What should you try? Anything new. Dip your toes into an infinity pool or surf some waves on the ocean. The important thing is that you're getting out there and grabbing one more good day.
9 new things to try. Ready, set … good day!
1. Cook up something new.
Find a recipe or attend a culinary class, then get down to business in the kitchen. Whether it's a dish for yourself, a dinner for friends or a cake for that special someone, cooking is a great way to tap into your creative side and feed your soul – in more ways than one. It also offers a good reason to spend time and share with others. After all, who can argue with good food, good friends good times and good days?
2. Knit one, purl one … more good day.
The best way to keep from knitting your brows? Knit your own creations that you can wear or share. The great thing about this art of the stitch is that you can do it anywhere and everywhere, in a busy group setting or in the welcome quietude of a space that's all your own. It even gives you a reason to watch your favorite movie… again. Even more inspiring, at the end of it all, you have something to show for it.
3. Race a dragon boat.
More than just a sport, this activity involves community spirit, culture and whole lot of fun. You can paddle your way through a festival, a charity race or a city you've never seen. And each person plays a unique role. So you get the benefit of being a very important part of the team – no matter which position you take. It's a great way to stay in shape in a setting that thrives on human connectivity and passion.
Everybody has a story, and you're living quite a momentous chapter of your life right now. Write about it. Keep a journal to remind you where you've been and what you encountered on your journey through breast cancer. Or keep it as notes, a transcript for your own autobiography. The blank pages of a journal are silent, patient listeners. Use them, express your feelings and dream your dreams.
5. Move your feet to the beat.
That's right. Try your hand (and your feet) at dancing. Let the rhythm take you somewhere new – whether it's in your living room, in front of a mirror or in a dance studio. Why not take a lesson? From ballroom to hip-hop you're sure to find a style that appeals to your moves and your grooves. One of the charities we've teamed up with takes it up a notch with Dancing With the Survivors. You're paired with a professional dancer for six weeks of training for one evening of fun to celebrate a nationwide community of survivors with music, dinner and entertainment. Learn more at pinkfund.org.
6. Host a themed dinner party.
You might already own the title of host or hostess with the mostest. Or maybe you're not big on entertaining at all. Either way, planning a themed party is relatively easy – and really fun. How do you do it? Pick a theme (say, pizza). Ask each one of your guests to bring a pizza that represents something they like or love. Appetizers, salad and even dessert can be served up on a pizza crust, in a pie dish or on a hot pizza stone. The rules are flexible! And you decide how far you want to carry out the theme when it comes to décor, dress and drinks.
7. Swim with dolphins or swim with the sharks.
People who have done it will tell you: swimming with dolphins is healing and harmonious. They'll also say there's no better way to create happy memories than connecting to these amazing creatures in the calm of the deep blue. You just let it all go and swim with the flow. The dolphins, and the good day, will follow. OR for something completely different … try swimming with sharks. It might be hard to believe that we'd suggest the serene setting of swimming with dolphins in one moment and in the next the thrill-seeking adventures of swimming with sharks. But if it's an exciting nerve-testing, nail-biting encounter you're after, this may be the activity for you. You already know what it's like to come face-to-face with some of your greatest fears. This time it's on your terms. And the adrenaline rush you'll experience is a surefire way to grab hold of one more good day.
Go skydiving! Once you take the leap, it'll be a moment you'll never forget. There are centers all around ready to help you through the thrill of a 120-mph free fall or a canopy ride that floats peacefully down to your landing area. Afraid of heights? No problem. Jump off a dock or a diving board. Or get on a trampoline. All of these activities release endorphins that give you a rush of excitement, a momentary feeling of freedom – and puts a spring in your step. Now that's a good way to have a good day!
9. Make every step count.
Meet people who understand what it's like to be in your shoes, by putting on your own – walking shoes, that is. Signing up for a breast cancer walk or race is a feel-good activity all the way around. It gives your body a good day – and your soul, knowing that every step helps to raise awareness for the cause. The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure® is a great place to start. They welcome people of all ages and fitness levels, while raising funds for a cure, celebrating survivorship and honoring those who have lost the battle to the disease.

My Favorite Scene: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) "Yondu's Arrow"
October 31, 2017 sleeplessdave	3 Comments
How do you pick just one scene from this film (you can read my full Guardians 2 review here)? While most sequels go bigger, Guardians 2 actually is a much smaller, character-driven film. With this being the last time to see Peter Quill and company before The Infinity War, director James Gunn I think wisely decided to slow it down a little (for the Guardians, graded on a curve) and give you time with each character. They're going to be as integral to the war as The Avengers and we've had at least four or five films with even the junior members, but only two with the Guardians.
The film is a non-stop funny machine. It's line after line after gag after gag, and while I think the first film is a hair better, I think this film is funnier. Yondu (Michael Rooker) joined the Guardians in film #2, and the awesomeness of his whistle-controlled arrow of death was unleashed in a way that you wouldn't have even thought possible. He and Rocket destroying a ship with it is my highlight, but I'm not going to deprive you of the best of Baby Groot (to be only topped by sullen teenage Groot in the credits) and Drax (Dave Bautista continues to amaze me; he OWNS this role and clearly has so much fun playing him). Get your MCU hats on! Issue #17 is out this weekend!

That's a tough call. I think I'd go with the opening Mr Blue Sky scene that perfectly sets the whole tone for the film. Lots of fun, affectionate moments, action, colour, music. An inspired opener.
THAT was my runner up actually. I really struggled in separating out a single scene. This was stellar all the way through.
Mr. Bobinsky says:
"The film is a non-stop funny machine" – I bet my ass it is!
My favourites scene was that one and the opening sequence.

Durarara!! Relay is coming to PS Vita in Japan in January 2015, just in time for the new Durarara!! anime. The game features an original story and a Relay system that switches between characters in each chapter, and Kadokawa Games is here with the first pair of screenshots.
They probably could have picked more boring screens if they tried, but it would have been tough. Hopefully we'll see some more on this one soon.

Williams Wants To Extend Mercedes Engine Deal Beyond 2020
BY Sergiu Tudose | Posted on July 12, 2019 July 12, 2019
Williams is close to signing a new agreement that would extend its engine supply deal with Mercedes beyond the end of the 2020 Formula 1 season, as per the team's deputy principal, Claire Williams.
Despite reports that the Glove-based outfit was actually considering a switch to Renault power, Claire Williams was adamant that her team didn't contact Renault regarding any future engine deals.
"I saw the speculation. We aren't talking to Renault. We are talking to Mercedes, as you probably expect, and those conversations are going well," she said in an interview with Autosport. "We hope to be able to conclude a new partnership with them going into 2021. They have been a fantastic partner of ours."
The Williams exec went on to add that while her team has had a great history with Renault, their future is with Mercedes, which has been very supportive throughout the years.
"They have been very, very supportive and everybody knows that Toto [Wolff] started his F1 career at Williams, and as such we have a great relationship with him. I would like that relationship to continue."

One issue that still has to be sorted out is whether or not a new engine deal with Mercedes will also include the supply of other key components such as the gearbox or suspension system. For example, Williams could have taken Mercedes' gearbox for 2019, but in the end decided to go with their own version.
"We went through a process of evaluation last year," said Williams. "We are doing the same thing this year, off the back of what happened to us in testing, to work out what we should make versus buy. But it is all just dependent on the capacity we have at Williams and what we do best versus what other people may do better."
"But 2021 will bring a shift with how teams can collaborate anyway and we want to dial down those collaborations."

Recently, a Chinese food safety map was circulated on the web. Shandong Province ranked at the top of the list, with 17 food items containing high levels of pesticides.
When a product is labelled "hypoallergenic," you wouldn't be wrong to think that it would have fewer allergic reactions than other products. But that's not actually the case.


In doing a performance comparison between several linear algebra libraries I had to read in several large (more than 21 million non zero values) sparse matrices. I'm not going to claim that this is the fastest way to read in a matrix that is stored on disk, but for me it was fast enough.
This struct contains three std::vectors which store the row, column and value entries from each line in the file. Some assumptions are made on the matrix, namely that there are no rows will all zero entries and that the lass column with data is the last column in the matrix. If your matrix is larger than this then you will need to manually modify the data structure that you store your matrix into. The matlab ascii sparse matrix format does not store the number of rows and columns Reference.
Another important part of all of this is to read the sparse matrix into memory as fast as possible so that we can do something with it. This method was taken from this excellent comparison of different ways to read a file into a std::string.
Once the file has been read into a string we can convert it into a std::stringstream and used it to convert ascii into values. Note that it might be slightly faster/memory efficient to return a stringstream from the ReadFileAsString function directly.


Possum Living is perfectly subtitled "How to Live Well Without a Job and with (Almost) No Money." Dolly Freed wrote this book about thrift and self-reliance over thirty years ago, but much of it still rings true today. The book is filled with common sense tips about home ownership, farming, diet, and all facets of life. Freed spares no details and even offers detailed recipes for everything from rabbit stew to moonshine. Though some of the book is definitely anachronistic, Freed's unique sense of humor and keen storytelling ability make Possum Living an informative and thought-provoking book about living with less in an age of conspicuous consumption.
This is a new edition of the book, with a foreword by historian David Gates.
My next book is Jennifer Egan's novel A Visit from the Goon Squad.

Splash Database
Kshitiz Garg, Guru Krishnan, Shree Nayar
We have measured the splashing behaviors of 22 different materials that are commonly found in the real world. These materials can be broadly classified as rough (e.g., wood and brick), smooth (e.g., marble and glass), flexible (e.g., silk and paper) and miscellaneous (e.g., water and moss). We have developed a stochastic model for splash distribution that builds upon empirical models previously developed in fluid dynamics and meteorology. Our model is simple and only requires 7 coefficients for generating splashes for head-on impact for a material. A more general model for generating splash for arbitrary impact angles (due to surface inclination or wind) requires 54 coefficients. The models of different materials may be combined to generate physically plausible splashes for novel materials that have not been measured. Our model is applicable for rendering splashes due to rain as well as water drops falling from large heights such as windowsills, trees, and rooftops. For more details, please refer to the following paper:

The splash coefficients are specified as a row vector in the following order: (1, α, φ, αφ, α^2, φ^2, α^2φ, φ^2α, α^3, φ^3) where α is inclination angle and φ is azimuthal angle. The database can be downloaded as a zip file (data_files.zip). The coeff_file_format specifies the format of the coefficient files.
Crown Database
For low angles of inclination (head-on impact), some materials can produce corona splashes with crowns that appear for a short duration. The crown can produce noticeable effects when the splashes are viewed up close. The height and the radius of the crown vary between materials. We measure these parameters by taking a side-view image of the crown for each material, such as the one in (a). These measurements are used to scale the height and radius of the generic 3D crown model shown in (b) during rendering.

Q: Casting string in SSIS script task for for loop in C# I've just spent well over an hour finding a solution to a problem - now I'm curious as to why it works.  I was getting this error in SSIS when I executed a package:

I had a script task which was accessing a variable.  I'd correctly added this to the ReadOnlyVariables collection for the script task, and was confident I'd used the right case.  Here was my script line which wasn't working:
string textToWrite = (string)Dts.Variables["User::TestNumber"].Value;

Eventually I changed this to:
string textToWrite = Dts.Variables["User::TestNumber"].Value.ToString();

and everything worked OK.  My question is: why did this fail before?

A: If test number is an Integer then an exception would be thrown with the first line of code because there is no type conversion defined from Int32 to string and that's why we have ToString()

MuleSoft provides the most widely used integration platform (Mule ESB and CloudHub) for connecting SaaS and enterprise applications in the cloud and on premises.
Support customers tomeet their performance and availability requirementswith little visibility into the customer's application or upstream configuration.
APIs are the digital glue that allows applications to talk to one another and exchange data. The MuleSoft software platform enables companies to embrace the explosion of application, data, and devices and make it easier connect to with them.
Mobility, cloud, big data, and the Internet of Things are changing how businesses connect employees, applications, and devices. Expensive, time‑consuming custom code was formerly the only way to integrate applications and services across a business. MuleSoft is changing that. Its Anypoint Platform™ is a complete solution for API‑led connectivity that creates a seamless application network of apps, data, and devices, both on premises and in the cloud. This hybrid integration platform includes iPaaS, ESB, and a unified solution for API management, design, and publishing.
The MuleSoft cloud runtime for Anypoint Platform is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS), and each customer deploys and runs its own applications on one or more workers. With each worker being a virtual machine, MuleSoft has thousands of workers running on it. MuleSoft's challenge? Meet the performance and availability requirements of each customer with little visibility into the customer's applications or upstream configurations. In addition, customers' applications and needs change frequently. MuleSoft needed a better picture of customer traffic and the ability to respond dynamically in order to manage it most effectively.
"One of the reasons we moved to NGINX Plus is its superior support," says Leschinsky. "Their team is very technical and fast, delivering clean, proven solutions." MuleSoft was able to quickly implement NGINX Plus with its current infrastructure. There was no need to replace or add hardware in order to achieve the ultra‑high performance MuleSoft needed.
The NGINX support team also helps MuleSoft with optimizing its implementation. When the MuleSoft team ran into an SSL performance issue, NGINX engineers worked closely with them to resolve it, delivering a new binary in less than two weeks. MuleSoft had been proactively looking at the issue, and the quick resolution meant customers were not impacted.
With NGINX Plus, MuleSoft can easily ensure end‑to‑end SSL encryption of customer traffic. In the past, if a customer decided to use encryption, the MuleSoft team had to re‑establish SSL connections at various points across the traffic path. Now, NGINX Plus opens an encrypted connection to the customer's app and maintains it across the path without human intervention.
Leschinsky is impressed with the fact that NGINX Plus is also stable and lightweight, easily able to handle the demands of the MuleSoft environment, enabling a high‑quality experience for customers. Using reconfigurable DNS on the backend, Anypoint Platform can identify relevant characteristics of customer traffic on the fly and proxy it to the appropriate server. As a result, the platform can handle whatever customers choose to deploy.
Having proved the value of NGINX Plus in the cloud runtime, MuleSoft has expanded its use of NGINX Plus within Anypoint Platform. Today, NGINX Plus is used in all Anypoint Platform services.
MuleSoft's mission is to help organizations change and innovate faster by making it easy to connect the world's applications, data, and devices. With its API‑led approach to connectivity, MuleSoft's market‑leading Anypoint Platform is enabling more than 1,200 organizations in approximately 60 countries to build application networks.

Hi I'm rosa I'm clean, well organised, easy going and quiet. I am passionate about health and fitness. I love to bake, cook. I live a healthy and active lifestyle. Enjoy going on walks/hikes. I'm honest and trustworthy and treat everyone the way I would like to be treated. I'm looking to share a property with only 1 other person where i can have the use of 2 rooms and my own bathroom or ensuite also i have 1 indoor kitten so someone that loves animals and would be ok with that.
Clean, tidy, respectful and easy going.
Hey! I'm Harriet — a 24 year old Communications graduate currently working part-time in music touring and events, whilst also working weekends in a customer service role. Aside from being fairly busy with work, I try and spend my spare moments catching up with friends for a wine or two, attending a live gig or locally brunching ✨ I am well rehearsed with houseshare living and more than comfortable sharing a space with other likeminded people. I'm tidy, clean and reliable — actively seeking a living arrangement where I can build a relationship with the person or people I'm living with, rather than remaining strangers. That being said, I am very respectful of other's space and conscious of my impact within share living spaces. I'm always keen to share a meal or a drink with my housemates, and never one to bring the party home. I would love to find a house with good energy and room to fit in, without intruding on anyone's space and maintaining an independent lifestyle 🌟 If I find the right house, would be wanting to stay for a long term period (12+ months) and ideally would like to secure a room by mid-May!

GOP Representative Blames BLM, Antifa, For Trump's Mail Slowdown
Is The GOP The Party Of Trump? Republicans Take Sides
In 2020, with a Trump appointee running the show, the U.S. Postal Service faced a slowdown of such extremes that Congressional inquiries were made. Now a Republican Representative claims that, rather than being about preventing mailed-in votes from being counted, this slowdown was due to Black Lives Matter activists and antifa.
[Photo Credit: Office of Andy Biggs, US Congress, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons]
On Thursday, Postmaster Louis DeJoy spoke before a House Oversight Committee about proposed reforms to the Postal Service. During this hearing, Arizona Republican Andy Biggs spoke and addressed last year's slowdown, which many worried would affect the count of mail-in votes during the global pandemic.
However, he declared that the slowdown had nothing to do with the pandemic (setting up a strawman as he skipped right over allegations that the slowdown was in part deliberate election interference) but instead was because antifa and Black Lives Matter activists burned down post offices.
https://twitter.com/NicoleGoodkind/status/1364648817640013832
In fact, two post offices were burned down during the protests and angry riots that took place over the death of George Floyd and other unarmed Black citizens at the hands of police. That's the small nugget of truth in the middle of Biggs' misrepresentation. The MinnPost detailed the devastation to the public after the two Post Offices, both in South Minneapolis, were deemed total losses — donation checks to charitable organizations, submissions to an art collective, not to mention the facilities themselves.
However, what the loss of these two post office buildings in May of 2020 most emphatically did not do was slow down mail delivery across the nation. In testimony to Congress last year, DeJoy was questioned about numerous measures, including removing mail sorting machines and cutting worker hours, that were deemed much more likely culprits.
In fact, NPR coverage of the slowdown last year includes a profile on Postmaster DeJoy, noting among other things, that he's a Republican megadonor, and that he took his position in June — weeks after the burning of the two post offices.
It was only after he began implementing his new policies, and while Donald Trump repeatedly decried mail-in voting, that the slowdown began.
During the February 24 hearings — months after Trump lost the election despite the slowdowns — DeJoy issued an apology to Postal Service customers who "felt the impact of our delays."
Postmaster General DeJoy: "We must acknowledge that during this peak season, we fell far short of meeting our service targets… This is unacceptable & I apologize to those customers who felt the impact of our delays."

PM joins Jean family in Dallas as they demand answers
Jonathan Stuart Created : 10 September 2018 St. Lucia News
Prime Minister Allen Chastanet joined the Jean family and their lawyers in Dallas earlier today for a press conference on recent developments in the aftermath of Botham Jean's killing by Officer Amber Guyger in his own apartment Thursday night.
Guyger was arrested, charged with manslaughter and released on $300,000 bond Sunday night.
Chastanet praised Allison Jean for having raised Botham well and said that there were two strong emotions in St Lucia: great sadness and anger. "To think that a young man would be in his apartment and the possibility could be that somebody could come to his door and he ends up being dead."
Chastanet said he was encouraged by District Attorney Faith Johnson's press conference earlier in which she said the final decision on the charge will be up to a grand jury, meaning that a charge of murder may still occur.
Attorney Lee Merritt noted that it is very difficult to see an officer convicted in the United States. He said that they had left the DA's office dissatisfied yesterday because: "When we left the office it was three days after Botham had been killed and his killer, who was known to the DA at the time was not in handcuffs… that person was able to leave Botham's home, return to her home and not face any consequence for three days after he was killed… that show's an extreme deference."
He continued, "We are of the position that the city has to share not only in our cries for justice but they have to take responsibility for their share in accountability as well… We would expect our law enforcement officers to in the city of Dallas to be able to diffuse a situation, to gather facts, really simple facts, starting with the fact that on the wrong floor, that she came to the wrong door, that she was standing on a big red carpet or any number of facts that should have indicated to her that she was not at her residence. If the prevailing narrative is true, and again it is clouded in a shroud of mystery, but if the prevailing narrative is true and she entered the wrong home and found a stranger there why was she so quick to rely on deadly forces is a great mystery to us."
Botham's mother Allison Jean said, "I'm not satisfied that we have all the answers and the number one answer that I want is, 'what happened?' I have asked too many questions and have been told that there are no answers yet. I'm looking forward to all of the powers-that-be to come up with the answers to make me more satisfied that they are doing what is in the best interest of getting justice for Botham."

Q: RxJava2 Convert result of map to Flowable? What operator can I use to convert this Single<Flowable<T>> to Flowable<T>?
I see things like "flattenAsFlowable" but I don't think that's the one, as seems to operate on/with iterables? toFlowable() returns something like Flowable<Flowable<T>> which is not good either?
Not even sure why does map now put my flowable into a single? I understand that there will be only one item but it makes my types (and dependent classes) mismatch.

A: use

Q: Knockout remove function on observable array not working In my knockout application I'm trying to remove an element using remove method.
But i'm getting the error

.remove is not a function

Below is the code
ActivityArray = ko.observable([]);
ActivityArray(result.Regular); //Result of an api call
ActivityArray.remove(function (element) { return element.Name === 'abc'; })

Not able to understand why it's not working. I have used remove in other places and every other place its working fine.
Please Guide
Thanks

A: .remove function is available only for observableArray. But you are setting ActivityArray as an observable. Change it to an observableArray
ActivityArray = ko.observableArray([]);

A: You have to use an observableArray (https://knockoutjs.com/documentation/observableArrays.html), not an observable.

var viewmodel = function(){
  var self = this;
  var ActivityArray = ko.observableArray([]);
  var result = {
    "Regular":[
      {"Name": "abc"},
      {"Name": "xyz"}
    ]
  };
  ActivityArray(result.Regular); //Result of an api call
  console.log("Before remove: ", ActivityArray());
  ActivityArray.remove(function (element) { return element.Name === 'abc'; });
  console.log("After remove: ", ActivityArray());

};

ko.applyBindings(new viewmodel());

With only a few pieces of sensitive information, such as a name, social insurance number (SIN) and birth date, a criminal can steal an unsuspecting victim's identity and cause them months or even years of legal and financial struggles.
One of the most important things you can do to help protect yourself from the threat of identity theft is to protect your sensitive personal information at all times. Consider purchasing a safe for your home and keeping all of your most important personal information there, including your social insurance number, passport, and birth certificate.
In fact, protecting your Social Insurance Number is extra important – avoid carrying your SIN card in your wallet. Instead, try to memorize the number in case you need it, and keep the card in your safe with your other important documents.
A dedicated identity thief will go as far as looking through trash and dumpsters to find unsuspecting victims' personal information. Make sure your discarded mail isn't putting you at risk – put your shredder to good use by shredding documents containing your name, address, bank account information and other sensitive information. Purchase a shredder at your local office supplies store and make a habit of shredding any mail, receipts and credit card statements that contain your personal info.
It's wise to check your credit rating at least once a year to ensure that it's accurate. Take advantage of free credit report websites such as Credit Karma to monitor your credit score. You can also get a copy of your credit report from Canada's two national credit bureaus, Equifax Canada and TransUnion Canada.
Secure your bank account and other important online accounts by choosing strong passwords which would be difficult for a would-be identify theft to guess. Make sure your passwords are impersonal and don't contain any names or dates, like your birth date or your mother's maiden name. Choose different passwords for each account, and make sure they contain a mixture of numbers, letters, and special characters.
Monitoring your bank and credit card statements is helpful not only when budgeting, it's also an important part of preventing identity theft. Make a habit of reviewing each bank and credit card statement when it comes out. Look through and review each charge, making sure they are all accurate. If you notice any discrepancies, contact your banking institution as soon as possible.
When shopping, only carry the credit cards and personal information that you need during your shopping trip. When you're out and about in crowded malls, try to protect your wallet and purse. Opt for purses and wallets that close or zip shut, rather than ones that others could easily reach into. Keep them close to your body, especially in busy shopping malls. Keep your debit and credit cards in your wallet whenever you're not using them – try not to put them in your pocket, even for a minute!
Avoid leaving your purse or wallet in the car; if you must leave them behind, don't put them in an exposed spot where they are visible to passers-by.
What's more, when shopping, make sure to protect your banking and credit card details – never tell anyone your credit card or bank PIN. Avoid using banking machines or ATMs in isolated or dimly lit areas, and be sure to shield your PIN as you use the machine.
We've all probably received them – those suspicious emails that ask us to confirm our account information or passwords, when they just don't look like they're coming from a credible source. Trust your instinct when it comes to emails, phone calls, and mail that asks you for personal information. If it seems like a scam, it may very well be!
If you suspect you've been a victim of identity theft, call your local police force and file a report with them. Then, contact your credit card company and your bank or financial institution, and they will take you through next steps. You can also call Equifax Canada and TransUnion Canada to alert them of the situation, and to place a fraud alert on your credit reports.
If you suspect you've been targeted by an identity thief, there's no reason to be embarrassed. Report your incident Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, and remember, you're not alone!
In today's increasingly technological world, identity theft is a real and growing problem.


Bishop's Cleeve have made an approach to sign Cinderford Town captain Josh Nelmes.
The central defender has lost his place in manager Paul Michael's starting XI in recent weeks.
Cleeve boss Steve Cleal put in seven days' notice of approach and has now made the Cinderford-based player an offer.
"The ball is in Josh's court now, but he is exactly the sort of player we need," Cleal said.
"He is a very good defender and a winner, who has won this league before.
"We are missing that bit of experience at the back so we will see how the land lies, but I am hoping we can get him."
Cleeve travel to Paulton Rovers on Saturday looking for their first points of the season.
There will be at least one new face in the squad, with former Cinderford midfielder Ben Hands set to sign for the Mitres on Thursday night.
Cheltenham Town goalkeeper Lewis Clayton also returns, having missed last week's FA Cup tie at Bideford to play in the Robins Under-18s' 2-2 draw with Forest Green Rovers.
Midfielder Anthony Burton is due to return from a hamstring injury picked up against AFC Totton, but defenders Chris Pates and Aaron Drake are both still sidelined.
Drake was due to have an MRI scan on his injured knee on Thursday, while Pates is around two weeks away from making his return.
Jacob Sloggett has served his suspension for a red card at Chipping Sodbury Town in the FA Cup preliminary round win, but he is unavailable this weekend.

IMCL's Community Legal Mental Health Partnership project sees IMCL lawyers integrate with mental health professionals and police emergency responders to facilitate a more compassionate and health-focussed response to people experiencing a mental health crisis.
You can read more about the project and the people who lead it on our website.
In its second year, Molly Williams, IMCL Managing Lawyer, explains the project's current focus: 'Following on from consultations with the PACER team in the project's first year, we are now ensuring that the voices and views of mental health consumers are embedded in our work and how our services are designed to be delivered.'
'This work has a few components, the most important and exciting of which is the establishment of a consumer advisory group.'
This year, with the assistance of a Lived Experience Advisor, Simon Katterl, IMCL began the process of establishing a consumer advisory group (CAG) to better understand how people with lived experience of mental health issues can access better and earlier legal help.
Simon told us why it is so important to centre the voices of mental health consumers as a community legal centre and within the broader community: 'As communities, services and policy-makers, we have an ethical obligation to assist consumers to participate and enable them to lead decisions that affect their lives. But you also create better policy and services when you engage with people at the early stages in service design.'
Applying these consumer insights to the early design stages of the Community Legal Mental Health Partnership project, in particular, is crucial according to Molly.
'The establishment of the CAG is central to the project because it will enable us to ensure that the model of legal help we are providing through the project is safe, well-targeted and meets the needs of its ultimate end users,' Molly told us.
In setting out to establish the CAG, Molly and Simon went through established mental health service connections and consumer networks to locate six consumers with a broad set of expertise and a range of experiences.
The members, who will have their first monthly meeting in July, have a lived experience of engaging with mental health services as well as an experience of legal need. Ensuring that the group reflects the broader demographics of our local community was also a priority for the project team.
'With only six places, it is hard to represent the whole community. but we made sure to prioritise the voices of CALD people, people over 60 and with experience of using aged mental health services, those who have engaged with youth services; and we have made sure there is an even gender distribution,' Simon explained.
'Reflecting the intimate link between legal problems and mental health issues, our CAG members have experienced legal problems like family violence, housing and fines issues. We also have consumers who have been involved with the child protection system or have engaged with Police before they were 18.'
We look forward to implementing their recommendations and working towards a best practice model of legal intervention within the mental health context. In the wake of Victoria's mental health royal commission, we are also advocating for the systemic integration of legal help into the new mental health system.
'We will be able to learn from them the barriers to accessing legal help in the mental health system and, realistically, the group will identify a whole set of problems and solutions that we couldn't have necessarily pre-identified.'
For Molly, it is an exciting next: 'We can't wait to hear their insights on navigating legal issues and accessing legal help.'

Henri Barbusse wym. // (ur. 17 maja 1873 w Asnières-sur-Seine, zm. 30 sierpnia 1935 w Moskwie) – francuski pisarz, dziennikarz i komunista.

Sławę przyniosła mu powieść Ogień, oparta na jego doświadczeniach z okresu I wojny światowej. W sposób realistyczny ukazuje on w niej swoją nienawiść do militaryzmu. Książka ta zdobyła Nagrodę Goncourtów. W swoich kolejnych utworach prezentuje bardziej rewolucyjny punkt widzenia, a także swoją przychylność dla idei bolszewizmu, rewolucji październikowej a później stalinizmu. W 1923 wstąpił do Francuskiej Partii Komunistycznej. Podróżował po Związku Radzieckim. Był członkiem założonej w 1927 Ligi przeciw Imperializmowi. Został pochowany na paryskim cmentarzu Père-Lachaise.

May 22, 2013 by Ecommerce News. About Cross-border with tags Austria. 10960 views.
The Japanese ecommerce company Rakuten Inc. opened in Austria its fifth European e-marketplace. After the British Play.com, the French PriceMinister.com, the Spanish PriceMinister.es and the German Rakuten.de, Rakuten.at is now their most recent launch in Europe. Rakuten offers local merchants the opportunity to sell their products via one of Rakutens e-marketplaces.
Rakuten is founded in Japan, where its website Rakuten.co.jp is Japan's number one e-commerce site if you look at the amount of sales. In the United States it also owns Rakuten.com, formerly known as Buy.com. The ecommerce company now tries to gain more ground in Europe as it already had some success with the British ecommerce site Play.com and their Price Minister websites in France and Spain. The German Rakuten.de is also a great success, with 17 million products from 8200 different merchants that are offered on the website. Rakuten.at started with 200 attached merchants and the aim for this year is to get to 1000 merchants. In 2015 Rakuten.at wants to break even.
Merchants who want to sell their products on Rakuten.de or Rakuten.at must pay 39 euros per month, plus 6% to 10% of a transaction's value. For mobile transactions Rakuten also adds an additional 1% of the value to the fee. But in exchange, merchants can design their shops with branding and shopping functionality customers already know from their original ecommerce sites. Rakuten also handles risk management and will cover any losses that could occur with online payment fraud.
In Europe Rakuten also owns the Spanish Video-on-Demand service Wuaki.tv and the British affiliate marketing network LinkShare. If we think further ahead, one could expect Rakuten to open a e-marketplace in the Benelux or Scandinavia in a couple of years. In the Benelux it would then have major competition of the Dutch ecommerce site and e-marketplace Bol.com.

Storm of Malpractice
By Jonah Goldberg

Katrina was a media disaster.
Last week, according to LexisNexis, there were more than 2,000 newspaper and wire stories on Hurricane Katrina, along with blanket coverage on cable news.
This hurricane of hurricane retrospectives was no doubt long in the works, as editors like to put stories "in the can" for vacation time. The media seemed to cover every angle, particularly the Bush administration's missteps in response to the disaster. And while some might quibble with this or that characterization or selection of facts, ultimately the media were doing what they're supposed to do: hold government accountable.
But there was one thing missing from the coverage of this natural, social, economic, and political disaster: the fact that Katrina represented an unmitigated media disaster as well.
Few of us can forget the reports from two years ago. CNN warned that there were "bands of rapists, going block to block." Snipers were reportedly shooting at medical personnel. Bodies at the Superdome, we were told, were stacked like cordwood. The Washington Post proclaimed in a banner headline that New Orleans was "A City of Despair and Lawlessness" and insisted in an editorial that "looters and carjackers, some of them armed, have run rampant." Fox News anchor John Gibson said there were "all kinds of reports of looting, fires and violence. Thugs shooting at rescue crews." These reports actually hindered rescue efforts, as emergency crews wasted valuable time avoiding phantom snipers.
TV reporters raced to the bottom to see who could moralistically preen the most. Interviewers transformed into outright scolds of administration officials. Meanwhile, the distortions, exaggerations and flat-out fictions being offered by New Orleans officials were accelerated and amplified by the media echo chamber. Glib predictions of 10,000 dead, and the chief of police's insistence that there were "little babies getting raped," swirled around the media like so much free-flowing sewage.
It was as though journalistic skepticism of government officials was reserved for the White House, and everyone else got a free pass.
Of course the Bush administration made serious mistakes — politically, logistically and otherwise — in a difficult situation. But Katrina unleashed a virus of sanctimony and credulity for urban legends almost without precedent.
Reports of the Superdome being a slaughterhouse were repeated, even though dozens of news organizations had access to the building. CBS alone had 200 people in New Orleans, and yet it couldn't find those bodies stacked to the ceiling or a single rape victim from the roving bands of Mad Max-style marauders. That's because nobody was raped or murdered in the Superdome.
The deluge in New Orleans elicited a deluge of wish fulfillment in the media, as though the hurricane was a biblical sign that something was very wrong in George W. Bush's America. "Everything changed" because of Katrina, insisted CNN's Anderson Cooper. Translation: We're going to tell the story we want to tell about the country from now on. Race and class became the chief prisms for viewing the disaster. Katrina was even portrayed as the result of global warming, which (of course!) is Bush's fault.
During last week's bonfire of Katrina navel-gazing, there was virtually no mention of the hyperventilating and inaccurate media reports, even though these facts are by now well-established. Terms such as "rape gangs" and "snipers" do not appear in virtually any of the mainstream media's retrospectives. It's as if it never happened.
Why? I think the answer is complex, but three factors are surely involved. One, the media are often good watchdogs of government but rarely of themselves. While recycling old complaints about government is permissible, dwelling on your colleagues' failures — or your own — just isn't done.
Two, the media have convinced themselves that they did a wonderful job of covering Katrina, showering themselves with awards in response. Dan Rather spoke for his colleagues when he said, "Everybody across the board did such a good job." It was one of the "quintessential great moments in television news … right there with the Nixon-Kennedy debates, the Kennedy assassination, Watergate coverage, you name it."
Well, as the disgraced former news anchor might say, that makes as much sense as a cat working as a rocking-chair inspector.
And, lastly, journalists are invested in the dominant narratives of Katrina, and they'll be damned if they'll let go, particularly if it comes at the expense of their own credibility, or if it makes Bush's mistakes seem a little less horrendous.
No, it would be better, and much easier, to print the legend.

Q: Probability of the simultaneous failure of two components where one component would take the full load if only one failed instead. Working through an example question in Applied Probability for Engineers and Scientists, 1st Ed., by Ephraim Suhir.
Example 1.9, beginning on p. 5, reads as follows:

A heavy, nondeformable beam is fastened to a ceiling by means of two
  parallel brittle rods. The weight $G$ of the beam is distributed
  evenly between the rods if none of them failed, and is transmitted
  completely to one of the rods if the other one failed. Determine the
  probability of non-failure and the probability of failure of the
  entire structure.

Define: $P_{1/2}$ as the probability of a rod failing under a load of $G/2$ and $P_1$ as the probability of a rod failing under a load of $G$. *The assumption is also made that the two rods are identical.
I had no problem obtaining the first requested probability:
$$P(\text{non-failure})=P(\text{neither fails})+P(\text{one rod fails, other rod can hold load of G})$$
$$P(\text{non-failure})=(1-P_{1/2})(1-P_{1/2})+2!P_{1/2}(1-P_1)$$
$$P(\text{non-failure})=1+P_{1/2}^2-2P_{1/2}P_1$$
For the second requested probability, the quickest way to obtain it would be to subtract the first obtained probability from 1:
$$P(\text{failure of entire structure})=1-P(\text{non-failure})$$
$$P(\text{failure of entire structure})=1-(1+P_{1/2}^2-2P_{1/2}P_1)$$
$$P(\text{failure of entire structure})=2P_{1/2}P_1-P_{1/2}^2$$
The above is the way the author does it, and he leaves it at that. However, just as an exercise, I wanted to attempt to deduce and confirm the probability of failure of the entire structure from the premises of the problem, similar to the way I computed the first requested probability. My attempt went as follows:
$$P(\text{failure of entire structure})=P(\text{both rods fail simultaneously})+P(\text{one rod fails under load of G/2, other fails under load of G})$$
$$P(\text{failure of entire structure})=P_{1/2}P_{1/2}+2!P_{1/2}P_1$$
$$P(\text{failure of entire structure})=P_{1/2}^2+2P_{1/2}P_1$$
Clearly, this result is not equivalent to the one obtained earlier. I have tried to figure out why the two methods give different results to no avail. My guess is that it has something to do with the fact that $P(\text{both rods fail simultaneously})$ requires them to fail at exactly the same instant, which would be different from two independent events that can occur one after the other.
Any enlightenment would be much appreciated.

A: It's not quite clear how you're modelling the behaviour of the rod that holds under $G/2$ and is then supposed to carry the entire load. You didn't include the factor of $1-P_{1/2}$ for the rod holding under $G/2$ in the cases where the other one fails, but you did where the other one holds. I think the most lucid way of clearing up this confusion would be to add factors of $1-P_{1/2}$ also when the other one fails. That would make the probabilities add up to $1$, and it would allow $P_{1/2}$ to be consistently interpreted as the probability of the rod failing under $G/2$, but $P_1$ would then have to be interpreted as the conditional probability of a rod failing under $G$ given that it held under $G/2$, which is not what you introduced it as.

A: To me both proposed results seem wrong. With $P_{1/2}=:p'$, $P_1=:p\>$ I argue as follows: The probability that neither of the two rods fails is $(1-p')^2$. Therefore with probability $2p'-p'^2$ we shall see the failure of a first rod, and then the second rod will fail as well with probability $p$. The probability $F$ that the beam will fall to the floor some day is therefore given by
$$F=p(2p'-p'^2)\ ,$$
and the probability $N$ of this not happening is $1-F$.

I just hope the set has a story which is the equal or better to Guy Adams' Planet X episode from the last one, which was my favorite Doctor Who story from 2016.

Am I alone in hoping that the denouement of one story is the Sisters of Saint Beedlix singing an song to the Who theme tune?

Since the Sisters sing the Universe in numbers, how about them singing the Doctors set to the (normal Universe) Third Doctor theme...

Facebook is asking us to vote Doctor for President of the Universe. However only residents of the Unbound Universe can vote. I wasn't going to go Party Vote National, and was looking forward to voting for the Doctor. But K9 is the logical choice. At least Fitz got the T-shirt.
