Q: no data is added to list of integer in android I have json data from webservice that should be stored in two lists, String list and Integer List. the one for strings stores the data fine but the one for the integers doesn't. it prompts error saying  java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 0, Size: 0

hope I get right answer
thanks in advance

A:
java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 0, Size: 0

means that your Array is empty and you are trying to access array element from an empty array.
You can put a condition to check if array length is more than 0 and then proceed using it like:
if(array != null && array.length > 0){
   // do parsing

}

A: Make sure your class School contains variable with name pK_ID. Look carefully on the upper/lower cases in the variable name.
If the variable name is not matching with JSON tag then this will result in empty fetching from JSON, even if you are getting valid JSON from URL as per your comment.

Calophya rhois — вид мелких полужесткокрылых насекомых рода Calophya из семейства Calophyidae.

Распространение
Нативный ареал — Китай, откуда был завезён в другие регионы. Встречаются также в Европе; также Грузия и Турция.

Описание
Мелкие полужесткокрылые насекомые. Длина 1,7 — 1,8 мм. Внешне похожи на цикадок, задние ноги прыгательные. Основная окраска желто-оранжевая и коричневая. Передние перепончатые крылья более плотные и крупные, чем задние; в состоянии покоя сложены крышевидно. Лапки имеют 2 сегмента. Антенны короткие, имеют 10 сегментов. Голова широкая как переднеспинка.

Взрослые особи и нимфы питаются, высасывая сок растений. В основном связаны со скумпией (Анакардиевые, Сапиндоцветные), а также с Rhus coggygria (род сумах). Вид был впервые описан в 1877 году под названием , а его валидный статус подтверждён в ходе ревизии, проведённой в 2000 году швейцарским колеоптерологом Даниэлем Буркхардтом (Naturhistorisches Museum, Базель, Швейцария) и его коллегой Ивом Бассетом (Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Панама).

Gabriel is one of only two angels mentioned by name in the Old Testament (Michael is the other). She is the angel of annunciation, resurrection, mercy, death and revelation.
Gabriel is most famous for the Annunciation, in which she told the Virgin Mary that she would give birth to the Son of God. According to Judaism, Gabriel dealt death and destruction to Sodom and Gomorrah. She also dictated the Koran to Muhammad. All of this demonstrates her major role in Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Gabriel is God's messenger, and gave advice to Joan of Arc. She is involved in other areas, too. She will, for instance, provide guidance for any concerns you may have, and will also be happy to help you find your true calling in life. She will provide purification whenever you need it, and will help you nurture your clairvoyant and prophetic abilities. Naturally, she will also bring you messages whenever necessary.
Gabriel: Communicating with the Archangel for Inspiration and Reconciliation starts with a brief introduction to angels, followed by the history of Gabriel. The rest of the book is concerned with different ways in which you can contact Gabriel and ask her for help and support. These methods include cord magic, Gabriel's specific scents and perfumes, crystals, chakras (sacral and brow), flashing tablets and the kabbalah. One chapter is concerned with Gabriel and water, as she is the Archangel of the Water element.
I know many people who have changed their lives by asking the archangels for help. In fact, it is entirely due to them that I wrote this book. Duncan, a former student of mine, is one example. He wanted to set up his own catering business. Duncan was an excellent cook, but memories of an earlier business failure prevented him from pursuing his dream. He worked long hours in a job he hated, and daydreamed about the business he would own "one day." Finally, he called on Gabriel, because of this archangel's interest in hopes and aspirations. He developed an action plan and started a business that ultimately became successful. Duncan credits Gabriel for finally turning his life around. "He helped me focus on what I really wanted," he told me. "Why doesn't someone write a book about Gabriel?" Over the years, many people have asked me the same question.
I promptly forgot his question, but the conversation came back to me a few years later when I first thought of writing a series of books on archangels. I wanted to write them, but kept putting the project off. Like Duncan, I kept saying I'd write them "one day." I knew the project would not be easy and probably hoped someone else would do it. If someone had, I would have been able to recommend his or her books to people who asked about the archangels. Of course, the time wasn't right.
I can't remember when I was first introduced to the angelic kingdom. I remember a Sunday school teacher telling me that Gabriel and Raphael were the most reassuring archangels. Not surprisingly, I immediately wondered why the other archangels were not reassuring. Teachers don't like receiving logical questions like this, and it took me years to work out what she had meant. However, I'm pleased she didn't answer my question. If she had, my curiosity would have been satisfied, and I may never have developed an interest in the angels.
I'm not aware of any other book that focuses solely on working with Gabriel. Gabriel is the second in a series of books I'm writing on archangels. (The others are Michael, Raphael and Uriel.) If you are seeking guidance, spiritual vision, intuition or purification, the exercises in Gabriel will help you.
Gabriel: Communicating with the Archangel for Inspiration and Reconciliation has been translated into Bulgarian, Chinese (Traditional), French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish (Colombia, Spain, Latin America and Spanish US Book Club).

Shadow of the Tomb Raider •
Wot I Think: Shadow Of The Tomb Raider
It looms large
13th September 2018 / 3:11PM
Developer: Eidos-Montréal / Crystal Dynamics
Publisher: Square Enix
Release: September 14th, 2018 (pre-orders of expensive versions getting access on the 12th)
On: Windows
From: Steam, Humble, or direct from Square Enix
For: £44.99, $59.99, €59.99
Update: We've made some substantial changes to this review to reflect the dramatic technical improvements made by the day one patch released on the 12th.
Shadow Of The Tomb Raider is, we're told, the final entry in the latest trilogy of Lara Croft adventures. And is, I'm pleased to report, by far the best of the three.
It remains a muddled affair, never quite sure what it wants to be, never certain what it wants to say. But there's plenty of fun to be had. Here's wot I think:
In many ways, Shadow Of The Tomb Raider at first feels like exactly that – a slightly darker impression of the last game. Gosh, if you liked Rise of the Tomb Raider, they sure made some more of it. Before the game opens up after its first few hours, it's madly similar to 2015's Rise Of The Tomb Raider, from its opening plot structure of a "two weeks earlier" interruption to the initial plane crash cutscene, exploring in one country to find a sought treasure of Lara's late father is in fact in another, and dragging poor Jonah (the only other surviving character of 2013's execrable story) on yet another calamitous adventure to race world-ending cultists Trinity to finding the Magical Thingamy Of Destiny.
Then the similarities at the start feel really quite peculiar, for a game coming a full three years after Rise. Lara's animations are mostly exactly the same, wringing out her hair as she gets out of water, lobbing climbing axes around, impossibly slowly sidling sideways through narrow gaps… The same assets seem to appear – say, the exact same leather bag used for revealing hidden items on the map. And despite being in a whole other continent, Lara's still running around looking at murals that reveal hidden treasures when translated. For too long, it felt much more like playing an expansion pack.
And then it blossomed. There were already a bunch of changes, too. Lara can now dangle from climbing axes, then swing or wall run from them, to add a bit more to vertical exploration. And indeed she can rather impossibly crawl upside down on marked rocks with the axes. They've tweaked bits and bobs here and there, with rope arrows now a default at the start, explosive and poison arrows ditched in favour of lures and traps that do something similar, and a more interesting skills menu to unlock (albeit mostly exactly the same skills). The one important exception being a quickly unlocked ability to not have to do that bloody slipping-off-a-ledge-and-having-to-press-X bullshit. Quite why they didn't just ditch it, I've no idea, but thank goodness it's removable. Oh, and she can hold her breath for more than five seconds! In fact, for absolutely ages, with swimming and underwater exploration now a big factor.
The other really significant change is to the difficulty options, which are really impressive. You can now tweak three different areas, Puzzles, Exploration and Combat, to three different difficulty levels. On the easiest, puzzles will reveal all the needed elements in Lara's "Survival Instincts" vision mode, along with very heavy-handed narrated explanations of the next task. On the hardest Lara keeps mostly shtum, and only some moving parts are highlighted. Frustratingly, she doesn't always keep quiet, and just using Instincts to spot any pick-ups will still occasionally have her annoyingly declaring what she needs to do. For exploration you can have climbable walls and ledges marked in ludicrously dense white paint, leaving no doubt about potential routes, make it slightly more subtle (as was used in the previous games), or turn it off entirely. (This does have the side-effect of showing that the white paint was originally in these games to fix a design issue, and removing it does rather glaringly point to that issue – it's a bit random about what you can and can't climb.) And for combat, it's the more obvious changes in how much damage Lara can take, and how dangerous and well armoured are the enemies. I played with all on the most difficult setting, and was pretty happy with that setup for the most part.
Then come the far more interesting new aspects. After a brief stint in Cozumel, the game teases on your arrival in the Latin American town of Kuwaq Yaku, where you can chat to the locals, get involved in some of their business, and pick up a couple of side-quests. But it's on arrival in the game's main enormous town of Paititi that you realise just how different a game this actually is. It's buried deep, the realisation, a few hours in, which is quite the odd decision. But once you're there you find the most extraordinarily detailed realisation of a supposedly lost Inca city, populated with a local people whose lives are meticulously realised. As you wander its many streets you'll find school lessons taking place, arguments in the street, kids playing games, adults working on growing food in large agricultural areas, political situations, and most importantly, the internal conflict between two rival factions that it would be far too much of a spoiler to get into.
I kept being just taken aback by how layered and alive Paititi proves to be, with hours and hours of things to do, so many expansive side quests to carry out for characters, alongside the hidden tombs, challenge areas (smaller tombs, essentially), regional challenges, conversations and so on. It ventures incredibly close to BioWare territory in places, with a murder mystery to solve, people to rescue, and emotionally driven situations to resolve. Albeit not entirely brilliantly, since this isn't a BioWare RPG, and Lara doesn't get to make choices about outcomes – but all the same it's an awful lot more detail than you'd perhaps expect given the last two games.
But, at the same time, Paititi presents us with another more complicated factor. No matter how clumsily they've wrung their hands trying to pretend it's not the case, this absolutely just is a story about some white lady waltzing in to a city of brown people and fixing everything for them. Clearly Eidos Montreal have spent a squillion hours researching and desperately trying as hard as they can to present and represent everything as respectfully as they can, providing a complicated and intricate representation of a culture that eschews the racist tropes of portraying anything as "primitive" (hello Far Cry 3). This is a richly sophisticated place, even if people are living in straw huts and wearing loin cloths. And yet…
The game's opening shows Lara's insatiable desire to solve the mysteries that had equally obsessed her late father, and that she'll pursue this in the face of potentially terrible consequences. In the first playable scenes you aid Lara in mystically unleashing a series of catastrophic pre-apocalyptic disasters, the second of which is a terrible storm that has done damage to the region in South America. The idea being, the crappy things that are happening are sort of Lara's fault, and anyway, the invasive forces of Trinity are trying to do far worse things than she is. So she needs to put them right, right? That's clearly what they hoped would make it not feel like the hoary old colonialism thinking that, despite it all, the game undeniably is. Lara is dressed in the clothes of the region's deities and leaders, by the locals, presumably because no one as white and British as her could possibly have just done it themselves?
Yes, in the end the game is about running and jumping and shooting arrows at heads and crawling through grotesque pits of severed corpses and falling through an infinite series of roofs, so yes it's another nu-wave Tomb Raider game, and the rest is only decoration. But it's a decoration that left me just constantly weighed with the unpleasant sense that no matter how awkwardly it was trying, it really is a bit of a racist old cliché.
It's perhaps also important to note that the broader story from start to finish is absolute rubbish. Complete gibberish about a magic box that will stop the world from ending, and recharge the sun, or some-such waffle. And while that might read as the dismissive paraphrasing of someone wanting to pooh-pooh the game, unfortunately that really is about as sophisticated as its telling gets. There just is a box, and it just does do that, the end. Meanwhile, Lara's emotional journey appears to get stuck in quite the traffic jam.
That put aside, if it can be, Shadow is undoubtedly the best entry in this revised version of the series. And the largest reason for this is a change in who's made what. Crystal Dynamics, they behind the splendid previous trilogy of Legend, Anniversary and Underworld, made the first two games, but increasingly sharing the load with Square's excellent workhorse studio, Eidos Montreal. This time the main development duties have fallen to Eidos, with CD focusing on what they've always done best: the puzzles. And the result is fantastic. 2013's Tomb Raider was rightly lambasted for the paucity of its tomb raiding, and Rise went some way to address this. But Shadow sees things back as they ought to be, albeit still relegating most of them to "optional". View them as "essential" and you'll have a far better time, as there are many vast and intricately complicated puzzles to solve, across a huge variety of styles.
There are underwater puzzle tombs, a hark back to the olden days with a mirror-and-light reflecting tomb, great big mountain-size climbing frames, and chambers containing dozens of moving parts that must be solved and assembled to reach their goal. It's glorious to see Crystal Dynamics doing this properly again after (counts on fingers) eleven years of just smashing burning roofs with a falling lady.
Oh, and good gracious, it's beautiful. Has there been a more astonishingly elaborate and graphically detailed game? I'm struggling to think of one. Jungles and towns and tombs are all breathtaking – literally. I'd gasp as I entered chambers at the phenomenal minutia of cavernous puzzles. Outside is even more remarkable – that it's even possible for computers to render so much flipping foliage beggars belief. This prettiness is rather definitely let down by the scrappy NPC voice acting, and the throwaway nature of less significant character faces (it can look quite bonkers as Lara's astoundingly realistic face chats with a vaguely featured somebody), as well as an awful lot of half-hearted filler chitchat. But in the main, the presentation is top-notch.
It's much more buggy than I remember either of the previous games being at launch. The worst technical issues were immediately cleaned up before the game went on sale, but it still feels a smidge glitchy, with lip-sync occasionally off, dialogue crashing here and there, that sort of minor thing. I've also had some issues with its getting laggy and wanting a reboot, which suggests that are still some issues to iron out.
While I've not completed the game due to some technical issues before release, I've spent a good 20 hours with Shadow Of The Tomb Raider, and they really have been good. This works out as a great balance between the icon-ticking compulsion of a top tier Ubisoft game, with the puzzling chops from a team that have suddenly remembered they were the best in the business. It's huge and detailed and stupid and probably most of all, fun. Problematic fun, without question, in a way that the game loudly invites upon itself, and the gets completely arse about tit. And even without that aspect, the story is absolute balls from top to bottom. But I came for the running and jumping and grabbing and sliding, and I got that in spades. Combined with the quite astonishing detail in the game's towns, there's an awful lot here that's awfully good. In a dumb way.

Sony VAIO VGN-NS20E/S
Budget price and components in a premium chassis make this a great laptop
By Philip Barker 2009-03-27T00:10:00.85Z Laptops and netbooks
The Sony VAIO VGN-NS20E/S is sadly let down by a poor choice of CPU
A great machine for day-to-day office tasks but don't expect it to push large numbers of pixels
Excellent keyboard
Gaming performance
While some laptops are designed to meet a budget price, others are considerably more expensive and drop in price when budget components are added. The Sony VAIO VGN-NS20E/S (£480 inc. VAT) is a great example of this, with previous models starting off considerably more expensive.
As such, you'll find one of the best screens at this price point, although it's still bettered by the excellent Acer Aspire 5735-583G16Mn.
This 15.4-inch panel isn't quite so sharp, but colours are reproduced vibrantly and it's still an impressive laptop at this price for watching movies or editing photographs.
You'll find an integrated Intel GMA 4500M graphics card, offering moderate 3D performance. While not capable of playing anything more than the simplest of games, there's enough power for office tasks, multimedia presentations or watching DVDs.
The Sony features an excellent keyboard, with large and responsive keys. They're slightly tapered at the edges, making it easy to type without any mistakes, and a springy typing action offers impressive comfort. It is a noisy board to type on, however, which won't suit all users.
Build quality is excellent, highlighting this machine's more expensive origins. Finished in silver, it's a stylish laptop, and the textured plastics are robust. The thick screen surround offers plenty of protection, and with an overall weight of 2.8kg this is a system you'll be able to take on the commute without any trouble.
The main sacrifice this laptop makes in order to meet the budget pricing is the use of an Intel Pentium Dual-Core T3400 processor, and it's this machine's Achilles heel. It runs at 2.16GHz, but it lacks the power of the Core 2 Duo chip. Even backed by its 3072MB of DDR2 memory, we found performance was considerably less than its rivals.
That said, as long as you don't need to multi-task, you'll still be able to perform standard office tasks without trouble. The 250GB hard drive is ample, offering more than enough space for your documents, photos and other media files.
802.11n Wi-Fi and Gigabit Ethernet offer comprehensive networking for the home or office, and Bluetooth enables wireless connections to other digital devices.
A multi-format DVD rewriter lets you store up to 8.5GB of data on blank dual-layer DVDs, and Roxio's Easy Media Creator software is preinstalled to make backing up a simple process.
The NS20E/S remains an impressive laptop by virtue of its design and quality. It's just such a shame that it's hobbled by poor performance.

Società Bianchi Camions Automobili war ein italienischer Hersteller von Nutzfahrzeugen. Andere Quellen nennen die Firmierungen Bianchi camions e automobili und Bianchi-Camions.

Unternehmensgeschichte

Edoardo Bianchi stellte bereits in seinem Unternehmen Bianchi in Mailand Fahrräder, Motorräder und Personenkraftwagen der Marke Bianchi her. 1906 stieg er auch in die Nutzfahrzeugindustrie ein. Dazu gründete er das separate Unternehmen in Brescia. Als Gründungsdatum gibt eine Quelle den 30. März 1906 an. Auf Aktien ist dagegen der 29. März 1906 angegeben. Beteiligt war die Banca Ressi. Das Aktienkapital betrug 1 Million Lire.

Das Unternehmen stellte Lastkraftwagen her, die ebenfalls unter dem Markennamen Bianchi vertrieben wurden. Der Absatz war enttäuschend. Innerhalb eines Jahres war das Grundkapital nahezu halbiert. Nach etwas mehr als anderthalb Jahren wurde der Beschluss gefasst, das Unternehmen aufzugeben. Am 3. April 1908 wurde es durch ein Gericht in Brescia aufgelöst.

Ab 1910 stellte Bianchi in seinem Hauptwerk in Mailand erneut Lkw her.

Fahrzeuge
Im Angebot standen zwei Lkw-Modelle. Sie basierten auf dem Pkw Bianchi Tipo G. Gemeinsamkeit war ein Vierzylinder-Frontmotor und Hinterradantrieb. Der Tipo G 12/25 HP hatte einen Motor mit 90 mm Bohrung, 115 mm Hub und 2926 cm³ Hubraum. Die Nutzlast war mit etwa 1500 kg angegeben. Der Tipo G/2 S hatte einen Motor mit rund 3200 cm³ Hubraum und war mit 2 Tonnen Nutzlast angegeben.

If you love all things natural then you will be a fan of this trend!
Well, it's now 3 weeks until my second baby arrives and I am praying she doesn't come early so that I can finish all of my styling jobs!
Well, I am now back from all of my shoots and feel exhausted, but happy that they all went well.


Can I make a massive ask to the community. If you are having a specific issue with a mission can you post it as a new question, no one is community managing this space it seems and there are now 250 comments on the Jive Advanced Gamification Module: Action List document. It is making it near impossible to follow the thread and double back to look for clues, suggestions and issues.
We're all community managers so lets put some best practice into action!
This is why Ted Hopton and I created the Jive Gamification User Group (one of the reasons at least). Had more time back when I was at Bridgepoint to CM, but less so with JCS. Drove me nuts Good request!
Kim - great suggestion. I actually just locked that document for new comments, as it will be much easier to respond and make sure questions are answered if everyone asks new questions rather then new comments.

Minimum FTR (Fill Through Rate) - minimal cost you are ready to spend to train Booster to increase fills number.
Note: It is not recommended for Maximum CPF to set small amounts such as 0,3 or less. For Minimum FTR, it is better to set a smaller amount at the beginning. Usually, it is effective to set as 1% of Maximum CPF.
Maximum CPF must be at least 0.005. Minimum FTP must be at least 0.05.
Note: Booster need some amount of time to optimize your campaign, usually it is about hours to days.
Specify the Landing Page TLD [top level domain]. Landing Page TLD [top level domain] is intended for SSPs and is not related to Ad Tag URL. When choosing creative from library, its Reference URL top level domain will be automatically set as Landing Page TLD and can be changed manually.
Set Native Rating – a number from 0 to 5 that represents the average rating of the app in a store.
Set Native Cta Text – call-to-action text, describing a 'call to action' button for the destination URL. For example, 'Learn more' or 'Download'. Not longer than 20 characters.

Set duration of creative in seconds (more than 0, mandatory field).
Specify the Landing Page TLD [top level domain]. Landing Page TLD [top level domain] is intended for SSPs and is not related to Ad Tag URL. When choosing creative from library, its Reference URL top level domain will be automatically set as Landing Page TLD and can be changed manually. This field is mandatory.
Activate Booster if needed. Booster is a tool to increase fillrate. The booster analyzes the previous placements on sites and optimizes future placements.
Maximum CPF (Cost Per Fill) - maximum cost for one thousand fills you are ready to spent. Minimum FTR (Fill Through Rate) - minimal cost you are ready to spent to train Booster to increase fills number.
Note: It is not recommended for Maximum CPF to set small amounts such as 0,3 or less. For Minimum FTR, it is better to set a smaller amount at the beginning. Usually it is effective to set as 1% of Maximum CPF.
After configuring creative is finished, click 'Save Changes'. After changes saved, you will be automatically redirected to Creatives page where you can view all your creatives and all data about it (Bids, Impressions, Spend, Win Rate etc.).
You can also perform actions to several creatives at a time. Select checkboxes in the first column for creatives you need to duplicate, start or stop, hover mouse over 'Actions' button and click on action you want to take: Duplicate, Start Selected or Stop Selected.
On the campaigns list page you can also perform actions to several campaigns. Select campaigns, hover mouse over 'Actions' button and click on action you want to take: Archive, Duplicate, Start Selected or Stop Selected. Note: Archived campaigns cannot be de-archived but can be copied to 'restore' such campaign.
You may create white or black lists for your campaigns. It allows excluding irrelevant domains, publishers, devices etc in the blacklist or target the ads only on certain domains, publishers, sites, apps etc described by the whitelist.
Note: You may create any number of lists, but only one blacklist or only one whitelist can be applied to a campaign at a time. Note: Filter list is not black or white by itself, it just contains conditions to filter by. It becomes black or white for each campaign separately, depending of how we apply it to campaign – so list may filter traffic out or let it go through. One filter list can be white list for one campaign and black list for another campaign.
And then click 'Create Filter List' button.
On Create Filter List page, set the list name and add conditions to filter, for example site domains or IP addresses, each from the new line.
After finished configuring Filter List, click 'Create' button to proceed.
To disable filter-list, click 'Make choice' in drop-down list.
Note: System requires some time to apply new or updated filter list to campaign. Wait about 15 minutes after applying filter list, and then run the campaign.
Warning: pay attention to campaign targeting settings and filter lists. Try not to make it contradictory. For example, if you set only 'In App' traffic in campaign settings and then applied white filter list which allows traffic only from certain sites, you will get no traffic.
Conversion tracking is a tool that shows you what happens after a customer interacts with your ads whether they purchased a product, signed up for your newsletter, called your business, or downloaded your app. When a customer completes an action that you've defined as valuable, these customer actions are called conversions. Conversion Tracking enables you to use optimized cost per impressions (oCPM) and show ads to people who are more likely to convert at the most efficient bid possible.
Postback - is the method of tracking conversions that uses the advertiser's server rather than the user's browser (as pixel-based tracking does).
Postback is more complex to implement and however more flexible and easier to troubleshoot.
Use postback when you have resources to do it.
Open Campaigns and click on Conversions and Postback Endpoints.
Click 'Add Conversion Pixel'. Set its name and click 'Save'.
Copy conversion pixel script from CODE field. Add the script to your website page, button or another elements. Set it up to be triggered when a user performs a target action — for example, clicks a button to submit an order on your website.
Add [HASH] macro to your creative tag.
Open Campaigns->Conversion Pixels and Postback Endpoints section. Select 'Postback Endpoint List' and create new Postback Endpoint.
Copy conversion pixel script from CODE field.
Configure your Ad Server to send request to DSP after conversion has been tracked. Request must contain code that you have in Code field of Postback Endpoint with [clickid] being substituted by hash.
To keep noticed of how your campaigns going, you can use alerts.
Click 'Add an Alert' on the Alerts page.
Open the Report page, click on bell symbol in the upper right corner of the graph, below the date range.
Set the Name for the alert.
Set the Granularity – alert will be activated if conditions within that period will be triggered. Set specific campaign or all campaigns to check.
Set Conditions which alert have to check – parameter and its value to check. Click 'Add condition' if you want to add condition.
You can select Stop campaigns if you previously selected specific campaign and want to stop it when alert triggered.
Type Additional recipients email addresses separated by comma, if you want to notify them too. Once alert being triggered, you (and additional recipients) will get notification on email.
Select 'Reports' section on the navigation panel to see your statistics.
Here you can see the dynamics of the results of your campaigns throughout a period of time: How much impressions and conversions did you get; how eCPM changed during that period; how much did you spent. You can group results by day or by hour. Use switcher in the left upper corner to do so.
You can select date range: Today, Yesterday, This week, Last week, Last month, MTD (Month-to-date) or set up custom range in upper right corner of Reports page.
You can also set number of records per page.
You can export files with statistics in Excel, ODF, or CSV formats. Hover mouse over 'Export' button and click on preferred file format. File will be downloaded to your computer.


The list of materials and equipment for construction is like a line-up of characters in a movie; there are lead roles and supporting roles. And, like what actors always say about supporting characters, the appeal of the leads is not likely to develop completely without the effort of secondary players. In construction, Acrow props are the important support elements. They make sure that cement, a leading material, cures or hardens properly so the structure being built will have the right shape and last a long time.
Obviously, you need these props — you can either buy them or rent them; it really depends on your budget. Acrow props for sale are not cheap, especially if you're buying brand new ones. The good news is that they are reusable, which is why for those who purchase and intend to reuse them, maintenance and proper storage are essential — better keep the manual to learn the proper maintenance and storage methods so they can be used again in the future. But if you're just tackling a single project, most construction equipment suppliers have some that they just rent out; this is a more practical option if you're really trying to keep your expenses low.
Whether you're buying or renting, the first things you need to determine prior to heading to the suppliers are the specific Acrow prop sizes your project requires. Your structural engineer is the best reference for this; he can easily determine the right height the prop should stand at and then identify the appropriate size for the support job. If your engineer is not present to provide you this information, you can do your own math; there are online guides that you can refer to that list every Acrow propsize and its corresponding load capacity especially when extended. There are five sizes available;the shortest is No. 0 which is available at 1050 mm and can bear the weight of up to 4,282 kg, and the tallest at 4900 mm is a No.4, which can handle up to 2,039 kg.
Lastly, take into consideration the location of the suppliers you wish to get these props from. Opt for those within your area or that have branches in your location; while some offer free delivery (especially considering the price of these pieces of equipment), most don't. If they're close to your location, you can just pick up the props yourself and reduce your expenses. Likewise, enquire about special deals they may have, especially if you're purchasing a lot of these props – they may offer free delivery or a free instructional video, or even a discount.


Marketing content is often the first interaction a potential client will have with your business, and can leave them with a lasting impression that will influence their decisions.
If carefully written, they should introduces and promote your brand and its character, truly engaging the customer and leaving them wanting to know more about your story and services. It can also strengthen a brand's identity on a global scale, and preserve its uniqueness. However, a marketing document that is literally translated will have a damaging effect to your brand.
It's why translations must be accurate for the target language. When it comes to marketing, it isn't just about translating one word to another. It's about capturing your voice and your message and ensuring that it's communicated to your audience.
Technitrad's professionals understand the importance of marketing to a broad audience when your product or service has an international reach. It requires a deep understanding of how the character of the brand is going to be conveyed in another language and culture. Every marketing brochure, catalog, and digital document must translate well to your audience, or you lose that first impression to a competitor.
We optimize all of our translation services directly for your market. Every industry has a unique value and we capture that value for both you and your customers. In addition to excelling at complex translations such as schematics and drawings, we also specialize in a wide range of services specifically for marketing material.
This type of content is usually creative, whimsical, witty and requires the ability to use the same puns in one language as the next.
Creative writing doesn't always translate well into a new language. Some phrases have no equivalent in your target language, so the translator must be able to convey your message as best as possible. This type of translation takes a highly skilled professional to ensure your documents convey your exact intent.
For this reason, we take you through an onboarding process to help you identify any problem areas and challenges during the translation project. Our translators are professionals, so they have immersed themselves into the target language and fully understand the source language. It's because of our professionals and their experience in linguistics and translations that you will get only the best translation services offered.
We have plenty of tools that ensure your project's success no matter the size. We keep our commitment to quality by constantly keeping you updated and asking for feedback as your documents are translated. We have a portal that allows you to review status of uploaded documents, provide feedback, and communicate with your translation team. Your continued success is our own, so we understand the importance of collaboration and communication.
If you need quality translation services and want to incorporate it into your project, contact Technitrad to get started.


The first two months of 2019 have been extremely busy for us, yet extremely rewarding as well. Through it all your prayers have sustained and encouraged us. Thank you for your persistence and perseverance as you "hold the ropes" for us.
Thank you for praying for me (Kimberly). I had very smooth flights. The conference was extremely beneficial, encouraging, and practical. I will be implementing much of what I learned at the conference when I return to Niger.
The Bartletts arrived back safely in Niger and with all 31 of their bags! They are already settling back in to life and ministry in their town.
Jana enjoyed her time at the IMB training center and received a lot of valuable information in preparing for life and ministry in Niger.
The team of young men that came from various West African countries had a busy week as half of them ministered among University students and half helped us do evangelism in various neighborhoods. Many seeds were planted as they witnessed and shared their faith, and they were a great encouragement to Pastor "Adam" and others who worked with them.
The theological training went well as over 20 men from six different people groups gathered together for three days in Niamey. This was the first of 10 modules and they are all looking forward to the next one.
March 3 Kimberly will be arriving in Niger tomorrow. Pray for her long trip back home that will include a very long layover.
March 4 Pray for Isaiah, Maria, Shiloh, and Eden Bartlett as they are adjusting back to life in Niger. Transitions can be challenging as they're missing family and friends back in the US. Pray for Mackenzie who has come to Niger with them to help Gen with homeschool. Pray for a good routine to be established and for encouragement as they learn together.
March 14 Jana arrives in Niger today. Pray for a smooth and safe trip and for all her bags to arrive with her. Pray for her as she adjusts to her new life ministering among the Songhai people. Pray for strong and deep relationships with the women in the villages she'll be working in.
March 15 Happy Birthday to Kaye Stanley, Kimberly's mom. Ask God to give her a joy-filled day. May she be blessed in a special way today as she has been such a blessing to our family.
March 16 Happy Birthday, Phil Cain. Pray that Phil might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding. Pray that God will use him to make disciples among the Zerma people.
March 19 Pray for Jana as she will begin learning language soon. Pray that she will have the ability to hear the language well. Pray for a good relationship between Jana and her language nurturer.
Mondays Pray for Phil as he leads discipleship/study time in "S" village. Pray for the men that come each week to understand and apply what they are learning. Pray that God will use this study to reach unbelievers in the nearby villages.
Tuesdays Pray for Jana, Kimberly, and the "language nurturer" as they work together to help Jana learn "languaculture" (language and culture together).
Wednesdays Pray for the two kids clubs that meet on Wednesday afternoons. Pray for Kimberly to tell the stories well. Pray for the children to listen well and to understand the meaning of the stories and how much God loves them. Thank you for praying for "Tina," she has been faithful in coming to kids club to help and is learning the stories.
Thursdays Pray for the Zerma to hear, understand, and believe that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Pray that believers will stand firm in their faith and share the hope they have in Christ with family and friends. Pray for Pastor "B" as Phil meets with him each week. Pray that he will continue to grow in faith and in knowledge of the scriptures. Pray that he will find employment so he can support his family.
Fridays Pray for the Fusion team of seven young men from the U.S. as they minister in "G" town and in several villages. Pray for their ability to communicate the gospel through words and actions. Pray for their health and stamina as hot season begins.
Saturdays Pray for the kids club that meets today. The girls are doing a great job learning the books and overview of the Bible. Pray that the verses they are learning would take root in their hearts and bear fruit in their lives for years to come and that they would be a blessing to all who know them.
Sundays Pray for pastors and leaders who will be proclaiming God's Word in churches and gatherings across Niger. Many Zerma have heard the gospel, yet have hardened their hearts against it by refusing to act on what they hear. Pray that God would soften their hearts and break down the barriers of resistance that keep them from accepting Christ as their Savior.
Thank you prayer warriors! What a joy to see God answer so many prayers this past month.

As the general manager of a Christian radio station, we have had numerous occasions of needing expert help with sound, light and video production. From youth conferences to outdoor events and concerts at county fairs, to major indoor arena concerts and events, when we have needed tech assistance, NLFX has been extraordinary. The attention to detail, the desire for the best possible audio and visual quality, timely and courteous, working within specific budgets...I can't think of one negative experience we have had with Ben and his crew. I'm no expert, but their equipment is exceptional and performs very well. We've had several times where a group from Nashville comes up for a concert to a smaller community and is thrilled and quite surprised by the quality of sound and light equipment. It is without reservation that I am able to highly recommend the services of NLFX Professional.
NLFX Professional provided sound and lights for our Clearbrook Workcamp during June 2015. I was impressed by Ben from the first time that we spoke on the phone. Ben and his team definitely live up to the "Professional" in their name! They were flexible and very easy to work with (they seem to answer the phone on the first ring and answer emails within minutes – and always had the answers that I was looking for). They provided everything we needed – and more - on time - with a smile. All of the production equipment was organized and in excellent working condition (most of it looked like new). All of the support personnel were positive, knowledgeable and professional. We are looking forward to the opportunity to work with the NLFX Professional team in the future!
NLFX is someone I can count on to do Lights and Sound support from our small theatre production events up to our Large Arena shows. It is nice to be able to turn over the worries of our production knowing it will be done properly and without any glitches and be able to concentrate on my day to day business. They have extensive experience and their relationship with the industry's tour professionals helps in making the concert details very seamless.
If you're looking for an honest and reliable production partner Ben Stowe and NLFX Professional are the right choice!
For the past several years I have had the privilege of working with Ben Stowe of NLFX in the production and running of various events that the Sanford Center in Bemidji, MN. On a personal level Mr. Stowe is very easy to work with in environments that are often stressed because of timeline pressures in production. Mr. Stowe is never inconvenience by sudden changes in plans that often characterize the entertainment and sporting industry. Put simply, Mr. Stowe is a very enjoyable person to work with.
On a professional level Mr. Stowe provides competent services that are supported with a "can do" attitude. When solutions are needed in a hurry, Mr. Stowe is a master at providing quick solutions that guarantee a quality product for guests and patrons of the facility. Mr. Stowe is all about client and customer satisfaction; he delivers a quality product that is timely and professional. I highly recommend him and his professional services.

An abnormal blood pressure response to exercise has been reported to be associated with left ventricular subendocardial ischemia in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. We report a case of HCM with an abnormal blood pressure response and subendocardial ischemia, in which the analysis of heart rate variability revealed exercise‐induced vagal enhancement. The present case highlights the possible mechanism linking abnormal blood pressure response and left ventricular subendocardial ischemia in patients with HCM.


A fair amount of public policy discussion has centered on the issue of homelessness. And these discussions, which have gone on for decades, seem to have two components that don't fit together well.
One is apparent: A lack of affordable, or available, housing. The high cost of housing, which is clearly a barrier to getting people off the streets and out of temporary shelters into something permanent.
Reports have shown that a majority of the nation's homeless people live in its most expensive areas, such as ours. Studies have also shown that even modest increases in rent put increasing numbers of people out of their homes or apartments.
But the other aspect is the most intractable. It should come as no surprise that many homeless persons suffer from mental health disorders and drug and alcohol addictions, as well as other health issues. And it is the high percentages of homeless people who do suffer from drug, alcohol problems and mental health issues that often keep communities on edge about where encampments or shelters are located.
A report published on Kaiser Health News' California Healthline this week outlines the challenges. The report notes that homeless patients made about 100,000 hospital visits in 2017 in California — a total up by 28 percent from two years previously.
More than a third involved mentally ill patients; many were also diagnosed with HIV and drug and alcohol dependencies.
Hospitals around the state have been reporting high numbers of homeless persons discharged, an obvious product of the surging numbers of homeless around the state. From 2015 to 2017, the state's homeless population grew by about 16 percent, to 134,000, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The figures cover only a single day; the numbers over an entire year of people experiencing homelessness are undoubtedly far higher. With about an eighth of the U.S. population, California claims nearly a quarter of its homeless people and almost half those without shelter.
The Kaiser report also noted that while hospitals in urban counties such as Los Angeles and San Francisco saw high numbers of discharges of homeless persons, so do hospitals in smaller counties such as Santa Cruz. Again, this is hardly surprising. With many homeless people living on the streets because of mental illness and drug addiction, so they use hospital services at a disproportionate rate. Most of their inpatient health care is paid for through Medi-Cal, the state-federal insurance program for the poor, or Medicare.
Often, people who are homeless wait until they have a serious health problem before seeking medical help, and that leads to hospital stays. Once discharged, however, challenges abound for people living often outside in unhygienic conditions, to follow instructions for post-discharge care, although some communities such as Santa Cruz have made admirable efforts to provide public health services amid the squalor of homeless camps.
Addressing the issue of how to help people crowding into campgrounds adjacent to shopping centers, or along waterways, or underneath freeway overpasses, or even living in old RVs, must include public health services.
Some studies, however, have concluded homelessness cannot be blamed chiefly on drug addiction and mental health issues and that the overall problems of more homeless people in high cost of living communities can only be solved by building more affordable housing. Housing, however, is only one component. Since a disproportionate share of California's homeless population suffers from mental illness and addictions, it becomes even more difficult in a tight, or stressed, housing market to place them in stable, long-term living quarters — even if such housing was available. It's one of the great paradoxes of community life today: while local governments are forever seeking more help from the state to deal with homeless issues, the road to building more truly affordable housing remains paved with uncertain intentions.
State emergency grants seem to be headed in Monterey and Santa Cruz counties to acquiring property for year-round homeless shelters and extending existing shelters. But unless significant resources are directed at mental health services and long-term, comprehensive and intensive drug and alcohol treatment, the growing numbers of chronically homeless persons will likely remain outside the sanctioned programs.

La DB9 Brivido est un modèle de motocyclette du constructeur italien Bimota.

Le premier prototype de la DB9 apparait fin 2008, sous la forme d'un roadster sur base de DB7 et pourvu d'un optique de DB6.

Le directeur technique de Bimota, Andrea Acquaviva ne pouvait s'offrir une DB7. Il a attendu d'en trouver une dont le carénage était abimé pour le supprimer et rouler avec. Le président de Bimota l'a vu arriver à l'usine comme ça et à décider de produire la machine en série.

La DB9 Brivido est présenté au cours du salon EICMA 2011.

Le moteur reste celui de la Diavel, bicylindre en V à 90°, quatre temps, pour une puissance de  à  et un couple de  à .

Comme la DB8, elle utilise un cadre treillis tubulaire au chrome-molybdène ancré sur des platines latérales en aluminium.

Le freinage est assuré par Brembo, avec deux disques de  de diamètre à l'avant, mordus par des étriers radiaux quatre pistons, et un simple disque de  de diamètre à l'arrière, pincé par un étrier double piston.

Bimota présente également une DB9 Brivido équipée d'un disque de frein périmétrique à l'avant de  couplé à un étrier à six pistons.

La partie cycle est complétée par une fourche télescopique Marzocchi de  de diamètre et un amortisseur Extreme Tech.

L'esthétique générale reprend celui de la DB7 et de la DB8, avec les deux phares lenticulaires superposés. Les guidons bracelets sont remplacés par un guidon plat de marque Accossato. Toutes les pièces de carrosserie sont en fibre de carbone, permettant de maintenir le poids à .

Suivant la couleur et le type de freinage, elle est nommée différemment. La DB9 Brivido est rouge, blanche et noire avec un frein avant double disque. Son homologue en finition carbone vernis est la DB9 Brivido C. La version équipée d'un disque de frein avant périmétrique est appelée DB9 Brivido S si elle est rouge, blanche et noire ou DB9 Brivido SC en finition carbone vernis.

Le prix de vente était de .

Il a été produit 3 exemplaires de la DB9 Brivido et 11 de la S.
