The Fisher Method APP Review Is FisherMethod.com Scam Or Legit?
In the second part of this short series we discussed how to test your skills in the market, if you missed the second part you have to see it first.
In today's lesson I'm going to complete what we have concluded in the last week by mentally qualify to remove the special demo trading training wheels.
The real money trading most heavily significantly from demo trading, for this is required by you to awareness and acceptance of the reality of trading real money before you submit it. Many novice traders get involved directly simply risking their money gained effort and fatigue without a trading plan in place, and hope that The Fisher Method APP so plan somehow not plan sound, this is the traders gamblers approach, and the belief that you will invest in some way by gambling account your trade and achieve a small fortune in a simple two without any plan or strategy in place is putting you on the path to failure trader.
http://quickcashsystem.org/the-fisher-method-app-review-is-fishermethod-com-scam The truth is that getting to the point that you trade hard in order to achieve household income meets the requirements without any other function is the result of not behind the get rich quick pursuit and accept whatever it takes to become a successful trader constantly and do those things all the time.
When you are demo trading in the markets were not suffering from any emotional problems naturally because there were not any money at stake, and therefore a lot of traders were The Fisher Method APP doing well when they were demo trading, they find out that success in achieving the funds phantom change when they moved to trading real money. This is because the presence of radical psychological differences between demo trading and real trading, which must afflict them before moving on to real trading. These are some points that must be taken into account before a rush risking your money, which labored in the win within the The Fisher Method APP markets.
• Turn the circulation of what you can prospect of losing the funds only when the risk - so as not to Isepk emotion when trading real money and you should not play at all trade with money you need in anything from living things, as well as not doing never risk more than you can in fact, the possibility of loss of money, if I could always do with these things, you will not suffer from almost emotion in any of your transactions. Most traders end up trading funds should not have been them, in fact, use them in circulation, or they are risking more money than they can afford to lose in all this trading deal and become The Fisher Method APP Trader.
• You have to understand the fact that you may lose in any trading deal - often will you have the mentality of trading quiet and objective if always remember you may lose in any trading deal you make, even if you think that what you see is an ideal price movement in the same market strategy. " Trend "strong upward or downward, is still vulnerable to the loss of the deal, and the fact that you will not know for sure what will happen in the market in any given day, so if I accepted this and convinced of it, there would be no reason to risk never more than a fair losing money.
http://500kproject.co/the-fisher-method-app-review • Do not fall into the trap of over-analysis of the markets - if you want to become a trader professional Forex should market to learn how to read and circulation daily charts accurately at first, but most traders end up taking the opposite approach, to commence trying to trading in the frameworks The Fisher Method APP time of five minutes or fifteen minutes on the charts, and after losing enough money in the end they discover that charts the daily comes a satisfactory outcome when trading mentality quiet and objective.
• Not all trading opportunities on the same amount of equality - must be aware that it should not deviate from your trading strategy when they start real trading, it has you most likely to maintain your trading strategy constantly in demo trading because you did not feel any desire to raise money, so try regain the same feeling when you forget the real trading and money order. Over-trading is the result of feeling pressure and greed in the deal, the more I felt those emotions and the emotions you are likely to trade when you should not and you trade this to lose money.
In the end, there is a fundamental difference in how amateur traders thinking about how professional traders thinking, The difference lies mainly in the amateur need to collect money from their trading operations, as well as their inability to trade without emotion in any trading deal. The traders professionals do not become The Fisher Method APP basically about any of their trading transactions because they know that their success determines based on a large sample of transactions and is not based on a deal or two, and he knows as well as professional traders that the secret control of the giant trading emotional is to control the size of the risk in the market. The psychological factors are traded determine how your interaction with the market, and these psychological factors in almost its entirety as a result of the extent of proficiency to manage your money in circulation.
As just mentioned, The management of risk is the secret to managing your emotions and your emotions properly, and thus it is also the secret to becoming a successful trader and eventually a professional trader. If risk management practiced properly in all trading transactions, The Fisher Method APP manage emotions and maintain a sound psychological trading of the simplest tasks.
• Turn the circulation of what you can do without it from your income - reported that in the earlier part of the article, but it is worth repeating again because in fact your defense first, which protect you from becoming emotionally rolling line. If only slowed when most traders simply specify the size of the amounts of discarded income not only are trading with this money, it will become the most successful traders in the world.
• perfected the use of risk-to-earnings ratio and determine the size of the exchange center - really amazing the large number of traders who are attempting to risk their money, which suffered a lot in the collection on the market without a full understanding of the risks to earnings ratio and determine the size of the exchange center. If slow to understand the calculation behind the strength of the risks attributed to profit, so you'll know that you may actually lose the majority of your transactions however continue to make money.
The determination of the size of the exchange center is equally important, however, it appears that many traders do not have any idea that he is still able to do trading in the amount of risk a perfect even if they wanted to put stop-loss order at the size of a large loss in the deal, I receive many questions about it all Day, such as "How can I trade on daily charts calculates the small circulation, and Alice best trading using time frames shorter?", and the answer is that you simply need because you reduce the size of the exchange center so that it meets the requirements of size halt biggest loss on the time frames for charts daily compared to smaller timeframes, there is no features for the trading charts with five minutes a small trading account, or any account size was trading in the truth.
• Know the size of the financial your risk and committed to do - teach professional traders the size of the amount of risk it before entering the deal and the size of the amount that is not a psychologically damaging for them if what has been lost, if you ensures all night in front of your PC to monitor changes in the market price, you risk amounts great. You must risk amounts it easier for you to follow with the principle of setting and forgetting in all trading transactions carried out, because the concern of all transactions carried out by all the time is a sure sign that you run the risk of large amounts.
• Select the size of the amount of risk to profit in dollars, not points or percentages - If you still calculated the size of your risk and earnings percentage points, you should stop it. Think about it for one minute, if risked by 100 points in a transaction which does not mean, in fact anything that you can do the circulation of a lot of sizes different exchange centers for the same number of the previous points, it runs the risk of a trader in the amount of $ 10 dollars in a deal with 100 points, and the trader Last risk B10.000 $ dollars in at 100 points, also a bargain, and therefore it is by identifying the size of the exchange center trader can risk amounts dollar is different from the other to the same extent to stop, so The Fisher Method APP is the amount of risk calculated to profit by the term "R" which is the dollar amount you risk in all trading transactions carried out.

Błyszczak półobrożny, błyszczak pyszny (Lamprotornis hildebrandti) – gatunek małego ptaka z rodziny szpakowatych (Sturnidae), zamieszkujący Afrykę Wschodnią. Nie jest zagrożony wyginięciem.

Systematyka
Pierwotnie zaliczano go do rodzaju Notauges. Został nazwany na cześć niemieckiego kolekcjonera Johanna Hildebrandta, który jako pierwszy sprowadził do Europy okazy tego gatunku. Nie wyróżnia się podgatunków.

Występowanie
Błyszczak półobrożny występuje w Kenii i Tanzanii, gdzie zamieszkuje otwarte przestrzenie na wysokościach od 500 do 2200 metrów. Zamieszkuje otwarte tereny lesiste oraz zarośla.

Charakterystyka
Błyszczak półobrożny ma 18 centymetrów długości i waży od 50 do 69 gramów. Jest pokryty opalizującym, kolorowym upierzeniem. Tak jak u jego krewniaków opalizacja jest spowodowana interferencją światła na mikroskopijnej strukturze piór, a nie barwnikiem. Głowa, jak i większość górnej części ciała jest barwy niebieskiej, szyja oraz górna część piersi jest purpurowa, ogon jest niebiesko-zielony. Dolna część piersi oraz brzuch są pomarańczowo-rude. Ma jaskrawą, pomarańczową tęczówkę i czarne nogi. Obie płcie wyglądają identycznie, natomiast młode całkowicie różnią się barwą od dorosłych – brak im jaskrawego upierzenia, górne partie ciała są szare, a dolne brązowe.

Rozmnażanie i odżywianie
Głównym rodzajem pożywienia są owady takie jak żuki, koniki polne czy latające termity, ale żywi się również owocami, o czym świadczą nasiona znajdowane w żołądkach tych ptaków. Żeruje na ziemi, w parach bądź w małych stadach. Czasami przyłącza się do żerujących ptaków innych gatunków z rodzaju Lamprotornis.

Okres gniazdowania rozciąga się od marca do maja i od października do grudnia. Zwykle buduje gniazda z włókien roślinnych w opuszczonych gniazdach dzięciołów wydrążonych w drzewach. Czasami gniazduje w płotach, w słupach oświetleniowych i telegraficznych. Konkuruje o miejsca na gniazda z błyszczakiem stalowym. Składa zwykle od trzech do czterech jaj. Karmieniem piskląt zajmują się oboje rodzice.

Status
W Czerwonej księdze gatunków zagrożonych Międzynarodowej Unii Ochrony Przyrody błyszczak półobrożny zaliczany jest do kategorii LC ( – najmniejszej troski) nieprzerwanie od 1988 roku. Globalna wielkość populacji nie została oszacowana, ale gatunek ten jest opisywany jako nieczęsty (uncommon). Trend liczebności populacji uznawany jest za stabilny. Jego siedliska nie są zagrożone zniszczeniem, dużą część zasięgu jego występowania zajmują tereny chronione. BirdLife International wymienia 23 ostoje ptaków IBA, w których występuje ten gatunek, w tym kilka parków narodowych, m.in. Park Narodowy Aruszy, Amboseli, Meru, Serengeti czy Tarangire.

MIKE GRELL to Release JON SABLE Oversize Deluxe Omnibus Series
Home » COMICS HISTORY » MIKE GRELL to Release JON SABLE Oversize Deluxe Omnibus Series
Posted By Dan Greenfield on Nov 28, 2020 | 1 comment
EXCLUSIVE: The landmark title will get a treatment similar to Absolute Editions – including NEW art…
Hey, here's some exciting early Christmas news: Creator Mike Grell is planning a series of no less than FIVE deluxe omnibus editions of Jon Sable, Freelance – in the same size as DC's Absolute Editions.
The first installment of the Jon Sable, Freelance Deluxe Omnibus Set from Grell's Masterstroke Studios will be crowdfunded through Kickstarter in December.
Each of the planned five volumes will be about 400 pages each and larger than ever — measuring approximately 8.5" x 12.25", with glossy interior pages, rare materials (including never-before-seen artwork), all new covers, and dust jackets that will line up to form a complete image when placed in order on a shelf. Each volume will retail for $100.
Grell left art duties on Jon Sable — the story of a former bounty hunter and mercenary in the concrete jungle — with Issue #44, but continued to write the title through Issue #56 before leaving to do Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters for DC in 1987. There's a chance that he may go back and re-draw the issues that he missed.
The Kickstarter campaign will also feature companion books that will include the original "Freelance Writing" letters columns, a guide to the characters, guns and gadgets, creator commentary and new art from Grell. More will be announced as the campaign gets under way.
Jon Sable, a major touchstone in the 1980s indie comics movement, was originally published for the defunct First Comics. It has been collected before but never in such an ambitious fashion and Grell is looking for this to be the definitive production. It also could lead to new Sable stories from Grell, according to Masterstroke Studios.
The editions will be released first via the Kickstarters, then through wide distribution. Kickstarter backers will get them first, with a variety of additional perks available only through the campaigns.
Look for the Jon Sable, Freelance Vol. 1 three-week Kickstarter to launch in time for Christmas, with an early Spring 2021 release date. The rest will be produced over the two years that follow, culminating in Vol. 5 being published to celebrate Grell's 75th birthday in 2022.
Once the first campaign is live we'll bring you the link and further info here at 13th Dimension.
Lots more to come…

And here I just finished off my IDW trade run. Great news, though. I will definitely be getting this. Hopefully it does well, and inspires John Ostrander and Timothy Truman (and Tom Mandrake, Flint Henry, Steve Pugh, among others…) to do the same with Grimjack. Those ComicMix omnibuses are just awful.

Hong Kong Dong is a quizzical synth-electronic band from Ghent formed by three distinct minds. Together they evoke a very peculiar and twisted sound. One of the gang members is Bolis Pupul who has released two EPs on Soulwax's DeeWee label. He is the band's synth guru and singer with a unique and delicate voice that flows like a horny tai chi master. He's also involved with other bands like The Germans, Charlotte Adigéry, and Wwwater. Sister Sarah Yu is the furious female singer and illustrator artist who brings with her the playful vibe of a child tossing around a Play-Doh microphone. The man behind the tweaked beats and guitars is Geoffrey Burton, the maestro guitar player/producer who prefers to make his guitar sound like a synth or a cracking bird. He's been around for some time now, earning his place in bands as Arno, Daan, Alain Bashung, Sophie Hunger, and Misia.

Tim McGraw and star songwriter Lori McKenna joined forces to pen the powerful song "Gravity" for the film Free Solo. Readers can press play above to hear the soaring anthem.
Free Solo follows climber Alex Honnald on his mission to climb the 3,200-foot El Capitan rock formation in California's Yosemite National Park alone, and without ropes. The powerful lyrics of "Gravity," crafted by McGraw and McKenna to capture Honnald's drive and passion, tell the story of a persistent fighter as he tackles the obstacles and doubts that threaten his mission.
"Look what you have overcome to get here / Look at the distance you've run / The doubt that you push down / Fear you have drawn out / When they said that it couldn't be done / In your head / In your heart / and In your hands," sings McGraw. "Gravity is a fragile thing / All of the work that you left in your roads / All of the dreams and that all / Now you can finally see them / They meet you at your destination / Now that you have made it so far."
Free Solo was directed by Chai Vasarhelyi and photographer and mountaineer Jimmy Chin. It debuted in theaters on Sept. 28.

After graduation from Brown University in 1846, he went to Europe, and during the Revolution of 1848 he carried secret dispatches from Paris to Rome. He studied law, but did not practice. He was elected to the Common Council from the Second Ward in 1852 and was reelected three more times. In 1857 he was named a trustee of Brown University. During the Civil War he was a major in the First Rhode Island Regiment under Burnside and a colonel and aide-de-camp on the staff of Governor Sprague. He was present at the Battle of Bull Run and the Battle of Fredericksburg. He retired from military service in 1862.

A rare song and video of Faye Wong (王菲) and Andy Lau (刘德华) performing a duet, "Leaving Hong Kong by Bright Moonlight" (明月出香江), as part of the Handover Celebration on 1 July 1997. The "stage" is the floor of a huge arena, with hundreds of dancers representing waves in the ocean and a float, shaped like a boat, bearing the singers. Faye's voice is clear and beautiful, leaving you wanting more. But this is a lavish group number and the fact that Faye is the lead singer and she and Andy perform half the song, I guess, should leave us feeling satisfied.
The audio was ripped from the video below. It includes only the first half of the song and omits the second half, which is performed by other singers and the entire group. The two halves are as different as night and day, as Hong Kong is to mainland China. Faye and Andy, dressed in white, seem to symbolize youth and the new world while the others, the beauty of tradtion.
absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much for collecting all these.

Q: Using Delphi LockBox 3: How to communicate with android device? I'm building a RESTful server using Delphi XE8 with LockBox 3 for encryption. I use AES to encrypt data (JSON) and send it to an Adroid device - Client.
If I send the encrypted data to client and the client knows the encryption key, how could he decrypt the data without knowing the IV because it auto managed by LB3 internally?
I'm using Delphi XE8
First: I installed LockBox last version.
Second: there is no documentation on how to set the IV.
I managed to get the IV (first 8 bytes from ciphertext):
function TAESEnrypt.EncryptAES_String(const str: string): string;
var
 Codec1: TCodec;
 CryptographicLibrary1: TCryptographicLibrary;
 bt:TByteArray;
 m:TMemoryStream;
 AEncoding: TEncoding;
 pCipher: TBytes;
 bytes: TBytes;
 text: string;
 Encoding: TEncoding;
 iv:TBytes;
 cipher:TBytes;
 i:integer;
begin
  Result:='';
  KeyHex:='';
  KeyBin:=TMemoryStream.Create;
  Codec1 := TCodec.Create( nil);
  CryptographicLibrary1 := TCryptographicLibrary.Create( nil);
  Codec1.CryptoLibrary  := CryptographicLibrary1;
  Codec1.StreamCipherId := BlockCipher_ProgId;
  Codec1.BlockCipherId  := 'native.AES-128';
  Codec1.ChainModeId    := CBC_ProgId;
  Codec1.Password := Password;
  Codec1.EncryptString(str, CipherText, TEncoding.UTF8);
  Result:=CipherText;
  Codec1.Key.SaveToStream(KeyBin);
  Codec1.Free;
  CryptographicLibrary1.Free;
  //key ==> HEX
  KeyBin.Position:=0;
  SetLength(KeyHex,KeyBin.Size*2);
  SetLength(bt, KeyBin.Size);
  KeyBin.Read(bt[0],KeyBin.Size);
  KeyBin.Position:=0;
  BinToHex(bt[0],pchar(KeyHex),KeyBin.Size);
  //key ==> base64
  Key64:=TNetEncoding.Base64.EncodeBytesToString(bt);
  //
  {
   Ciphertext = Base64
   IV ==> Extract the first 8 bytes (64 bits)
   1. Base64 ==> Binary
   2. get IV
   3. Binary ==> Base64 (Ciphertext)
   4. Binary ==> Base64 (IV)
   5. Binary ==> HEX (Ciphertext)
   6. Binary ==> HEX (IV)
  }
  bytes := TNetEncoding.Base64.DecodeStringToBytes(CipherText);//result => binary data
  iv:=Copy(bytes,0,8);//get first 8 bytes (iv) => binary data
  cipher:=Copy(bytes,8,Length(bytes)-8);//the rest is the encrypted data => binary data
  //Bin => base64
  iv64:=TNetEncoding.Base64.EncodeBytesToString(iv);
  cipher64:=TNetEncoding.Base64.EncodeBytesToString(cipher);
  //Bin => HEX
  SetLength(ivHex,Length(iv)*2);
  BinToHex(iv[0],pchar(ivHex),Length(iv));
  SetLength(CipherHex,Length(cipher));
  BinToHex(Cipher[0],pchar(CipherHex),Length(Cipher));
end;

For example (128):
iv_64 : P7NJIfhws2k=
iv_hex: 3FB34921F870B369
cipher_64 : 5UvFMw==
cipher_hex: E54B
Key_64 : /dn9yyUOTWobOQx1A+ZfAg==
Key_hex: FDD9FDCB250E4D6A1B390C7503E65F02

On the client side (Android) I get the error "Bad base 64" or "last block incomplete in decryption" and here is my code (it's only for testing):
[I complete the IV with zeros]
            byte[] out=new byte[16];
            byte[] zero="00000000".getBytes();

            byte[] ivBytes; byte[] keyBytes; byte[] textBytes;
            ivBytes=Base64.decode("9pdfnd4JvpI=".getBytes("UTF-8"),Base64.DEFAULT);
            System.arraycopy(ivBytes,0,out,0,ivBytes.length);
            System.arraycopy(zero,0,out,ivBytes.length,zero.length);

            keyBytes=Base64.decode("/dn9yyUOTWobOQx1A+ZfAg==".getBytes("UTF-8"),Base64.DEFAULT);
            textBytes=Base64.decode("+JnDcw==".getBytes("UTF-8"),Base64.DEFAULT);
            AlgorithmParameterSpec ivSpec = new IvParameterSpec(out);
            SecretKeySpec newKey = new SecretKeySpec(keyBytes, "AES");
            Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CBC/NOPADDING");
            cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, newKey,ivSpec);
            byte[] decodedBytes = cipher.doFinal(textBytes);
            String plain=new String(decodedBytes,"UTF-8");

When I run this in Android I get: "last block incomplete in decryption" and when I remove the "UTF-8" from getBytes() I get "bad base-64", and I don't know how to solve it, any idea?

New to CNC. Reading and planning underway!
I've seen CNC machines and have thought about having one. Buying one ... well that's no fun. I want to build one. I've got lots to read, think about, and ask you good people for advice.
I can honestly say it's satisfying work to build one.
first thing to think about is the size of your machine and what you are planning to make with it.
building one yourself allows the freedom to make it the way you want it!
Benchley, are you interested in CNC or building one?
You can burn lots of free time building one. Who cares about the cost!!!
Who cares about the cost!!!
I for one is one of those miser who build on shoe string budget & using junk material, tools & equipment.
Anyway, I consider one's time as cost too, hence the comment.
John, I recon everyone here enjoy working with our hands, there should be no doubt about that. Utilising their free-time or not.
Or looking at another angle, a commercial equivalent CNC router is over US16K excluding shipping.... The cost IS the biggest factor to build one!
Minimum build cost of MM is US2.5k at best, & can go as much as US6~8K. So if one decided to build a MM for any reasons, one should not be concern with the cost incur & get on with the building.
There are many strategy one could employ, save enough & build, buy bits & pieces as money show up, buy the "standard" components or scrounge for economical parts... etc etc, or wish for a set of stepper motors on boxing day.
Seriously, if you can not affort it or you don't wish to spend such money, & one can not get his way around it. The build can never take place.
I think the way folks can look at building a MM is money versus time. In all things we do we can decide that we are going to "commit to the project".
The issue of how said project is completed is typically money driven. You want (or need) a MM and you have the money to get it done? Typically time is your enemy in this situation because you need a machine to complete projects on the table and just because you have funds doesn't mean you want to spend it all on a turn key system. Building a MM lets you know how to support/repair (Has anyone had to actually repair a MM yet?) and also is typically way cheaper than a comparable turn key solution.
If funding is the issue, then time is your friend. You can shop and learn, pickup deals and progress as you can on the project over time.
We can see this in the build log with builds taking from a few weeks to over a year to complete. I am sure many MM's are still underway out there being built slowly over time. We get a lot of folks on this forum everyday who read and don't post.
The cool thing here is that we all end up with pretty much the same machine doing whatever work we need the MM to do.

Bryan Fletcher to Walk for Hope
FasterSkierOctober 14, 2009
PARK CITY, UT – (Oct. 13) U.S. Nordic Combined Ski Team athlete Bryan Fletcher (Steamboat Springs, CO) will be doing his part to help others, participating in the Walk for Hope on Oct. 17 in Park City, UT. Fletcher teamed up with Candlelighters, an organization that helps families and children with cancer, to put on the event, which will hopefully raise $30, 000.
"Our goal is trying to raise $30,000 for the program," says Fletcher."This is a small organization, they only go up to kids that are 18 years old, so the focus is the kids $30,000 is an average goal for them, but it will help out tremendously."
Fletcher has a personal connection to children with cancer. At 3 years old, he was diagnosed with acute lymphatic leukemia. After chemotherapy treatment for a year, the cancer went into remission. With the remembrance of his own story, Fletcher is committed to help using his Olympic dream as a guide.
"I think it's easier for a person who has or is trying to reach a goal or make the Olympics. For me, I kind of have a good pedestal to start working with kids here, just trying to build up to the Olympics because I can use it in my coverage leading up to the Olympics," states Fletcher. "I am going to get a little bit of free press out of it to try and promote these events."
For Fletcher, the most important thing is being able to raise money to assist the families who need help.
"Some of the money goes to research, but a lot of the money actually goes to families and into programs that help families. The kids can go to camps for cancer where they can socialize with other kids their age who have cancer, explains Fletcher. "That allows them to have some fun and they're not stuck in the hospital all the time. It's a good program."
Fletcher is in Lake Placid, NY for a training camp to prepare for the upcoming winter season and Olympics. Fletcher will be leaving the camp earlier in order to participate in the Walk of Hope. Following the walk, Fletcher will be pressing forward in hopes of making the Olympic Team.
"My main goal for the season is just to make the Olympics," explains Fletcher. "It has been a goal of mine since I was a kid, so obviously that's the big goal. Anything else I can accomplish in the season is considered, to me, a bonus."
The Walk of Hope is Saturday, October 17 at Utah's Liberty Park. The race portion begins at 8 A.M., following with the walk at 10 A.M. For more information, go to www.childhoodcancer.org.

'We're close': Mayor Curry says city and Jaguars close to finalized deal for LOT J development
The mayor announced in July terms were reached to create an entertainment center, hotel, office space and apartments.
Author: Nick Perreault
Published: 7:21 AM EST January 15, 2020
Updated: 7:23 AM EST January 15, 2020
"We're close."
Those were the words of Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry used when he referred to a final deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars on the multi-million dollar Lot J development Tuesday.
The mayor announced last July, the city, team and Iguana Investments, Owner Shad Khan's development company, agreed to terms for development.
For now, we still see pavement and parking spaces. For the better part of the last year, we've heard talk and Tuesday more talk. The mayor though hopes over the next few months the pavement will start to take a different shape.
"I've been hearing now for about two weeks that they're close to final deal," Mayor Curry said.
Close is all we could get from Mayor Lenny Curry on his administration's talks with the Jacksonville Jaguars and the development of lot J.
The mayor announced in July terms were reached to create an entertainment center, hotel, office space and apartments in place of the current 1400 parking spaces. In July, the investment neared 450 million, now estimates closer to 700 million according to our partners at the Florida Times-Union.
The mayor did not say when we might actually see shovels in the ground.
"I know the expectation is to be able to break ground sometime this spring, so we need a bill to go to city council so they need move fast," Mayor Curry said.
The city is still expecting to put money behind the deal. Estimates in July put the number in the ballpark of $230 million.
Where that money is coming from and if those incentives will increase is still unclear.
"When we present our terms to City Council, that will all be laid out. It would be premature to say that because as they hammer out the final details, something could change between now and what I've heard because it's not finalized," he said.
There have been talks for more than a year that a deal had been reached, but have yet to see anything but air.
That could change by the springtime.

Bob Simon Dies At Age 73, Celebrities & Journalists Remember His Life & Integrity On Twitter
By Maitri Suhas
Theo Wargo/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
In a terrible tragedy, 60 Minutes correspondent Bob Simon was killed in a fatal car crash in his native New York on Wednesday night. The journalist, 73, worked for CBS for 20 years, which is to say nothing of his long, historic career in journalism for five decades. Simon was one of the most decorated journalists of all time, earning 27 Emmys and a Peabody Award among countless accolades for his reporting in New York, Tel Aviv and London. Following his death, journalists and celebrities alike took to Twitter to express their condolences and respects to the fallen journalist, to mourn and celebrate not only his life but also his integrity and excellence in journalism.
CBS expressed their grief for the loss of Simon in a profile on their website, praising his bravery and ethics. Simon was captured by Iraqi forces during the Gulf War, but the incident only fueled his passion and dedication to world news reporting. In their tributes on Twitter, celebrities remembered Simon for his honesty and integrity.
The epic loss comes only days after Brian Williams was suspended from anchoring NBC Nightly News after he admitted to lying about being shot down in a helicopter while reporting on the Iraq War. That same day, Jon Stewart announced, to the surprise of his fans, that he would end his tenure of 17 years at The Daily Show later this year. When addressing his audience about his departure, Stewart said: "This show doesn't deserve an even slightly restless host, and neither do you." Stewart has been a vocal critic of the degradation of news media, and Bob Simon's life stands as a reminder that journalism can be an honorable endeavor.

Scott Morrison's $1.2 billion bonus for private schools slammed as a 'slush fund'
By Michael Koziol & Jordan Baker
September 20, 2018 — 11.00pm
The Morrison government will create a special $1.2 billion fund for private schools and pay it directly to Catholic and independent school authorities to distribute as they see fit.
The "choice and accessibility fund" is in addition to a separate $3.4 billion cash injection announced by Prime Minister Scott Morrison to help private schools adjust to a new model for determining socioeconomic disadvantage.
However, the federal government's plan was slammed on Thursday night by NSW Education Minister Rob Stokes, who said he would not sign any deal that didn't treat every student and every school with fairness. NSW is home to more than 2000 public schools.
"We are the Gonski State," he said in a statement. "Quite simply, I won't be signing any deal that doesn't treat every student and every school with fairness.
"The Gonski principles provide that school funding should be needs based and sector blind and these are the principles we hold dear.
"We don't want a return to the school funding wars of the past that pitted private schools against public schools, and urge the federal government to provide equal treatment for all schools, public and private."
Announced on Thursday, the $4.6 billion deal aims to end the school funding wars and resolve a political crisis with the aggrieved Catholic school sector over the Gonski 2.0 funding model.
It is the third iteration of the Coalition's school funding policy, which was worth $18.6 billion when first proposed. It ballooned to $24.5 billion and now sits closer to $30 billion over 10 years.
"We don't want a return to the school funding wars of the past": NSW Education Minister Rob Stokes Credit:Simone De Peak
Mr Morrison said the funding boost was not a repudiation of the model set up by Malcolm Turnbull and the previous education minister, Simon Birmingham, but: "When there are issues that need to be addressed, we'll address them."
Government documents indicated the new $1.2 billion pot of money will be used for "government priorities for school education", including regional, rural, remote and drought-affected schools.
But federal Education Minister Dan Tehan confirmed individual schools will not apply for money from the fund. Instead, it will be paid to the peak bodies in each state, and distribution "ultimately will be choices that each of the sectors will make" based on their own priorities.
In particular, the Catholic sector has emphasised its desire to keep providing low-fee alternatives to public schools and independent schools, even in wealthier areas where parents could pay more.
"They put a very strong argument that in some cases they do need to be able to offer low-fee offerings because otherwise choice will be taken away from parents," Mr Tehan said.
He said a "framework" would apply to the $1.2 billion fund, but details were yet to be finalised. But detailed modelling has been done behind the scenes on where the money will likely go.
Sources in the Catholic and independent sectors told Fairfax Media about $718 million would flow to Catholic schools nationally, while about $485 million will go to independent schools.

Labor's education spokeswoman Tanya Plibersek and former NSW education minister Adrian Piccoli, a National, both dubbed the pot of money a "slush fund".
Mr Piccoli, now the director of the Gonski Institute for Education at UNSW, called the $4.6 billion package "pathetic".
"There is nothing fair about it," he said. "There is nothing Christian about it. It's throwing money at the powerful and well connected."
Blaise Joseph, policy analyst at the right-leaning Centre for Independent Studies, described it as a "special deal" that undermined the Gonski 2.0 funding model.
Mr Tehan conceded the $1.2 billion fund "sits outside the model to deal with those issues that no model is ever going to be able to deal with", and said it was a "wonderful initiative".
There is nothing Christian about it. It's throwing money at the powerful and well connected.
Adrian Piccoli, former NSW education minister
The most expensive element of the policy announced Thursday is a transition fund to help schools move to a new method of assessing their socioeconomic status (SES) score and therefore funding.
Currently, a school's individual SES score is determined by census data from the surrounding area. Under the new model, it will be calculated based on the income tax returns of parents. It is made possible by improvements in the government's data-matching capability.
In total, private schools in both NSW and Victoria will receive an extra $1.46 billion by the time the transition is complete in 2029.
Asked about the absence of any new money for public schools, Mr Morrison said public school funding was chiefly the responsibility of state governments.
"I don't think parents will be cynical," he said. "They will note that we're funding public schools at record levels. And all parents want to have choices about how they educate their children."
The Catholic and independent school sectors cautiously welcomed Thursday's announcement, but left the door open to future arguments over funding.
Ray Collins, acting executive director of the National Catholic Education Commission, said the new SES model was "fairer" and went "a long way to fixing problems caused by the model introduced in 2017", but it would need to be reviewed again.
Michelle Green, chief executive of Independent Schools Victoria, said the deal created "potential" for a workable long-term solution.
Ms Plibersek said Labor would go even further and restore all of the funding it promised under the original Gonski arrangements, which would mean more money for Catholic, independent and especially public schools.
"We don't believe this restores all of the money that has been cut from Catholic and independent schools," she said.
"This is still billions of dollars less than all schools would have got under the original arrangements struck by Labor."

> Prestige Group-Creating Relevant Spaces
"Location, chemistry, and trust are the keys to our success," says Irfan Razack, Chairman, Prestige Group. He seems to have the right keys as nothing seems to faze the growth of its flagship real estate business – not the RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority) Act, not demonetisation. Sales keep improving and rentals on income keep going up substantially. The Group's diverse portfolio includes retail, leisure, hospitality, property management, amongst others.
The story of Prestige is the stuff of legends and locals never tire of, proudly pointing to the local boy, Irfan Razack, whose uncanny ability with numbers with the solidarity of brothers Rezwan and Noaman, has helped helm the rise from a maker of bespoke suits to a company with a net worth of Rs. 4.16 thousand crore.
Prominent landmarks across Bengaluru, and increasingly so in major cities across India, flaunt the logo of the falcon.
With over 150 landmark developments across Bengaluru, Prestige has extended its expertise to major cities across South India, building malls, large townships, tech parks, hotels, luxury villas, and SEZs.
When the IT boom happened in Bengaluru in the late 90's, Prestige was amongst the first to cater to IT companies, though says Razack, "When we started building office spaces, there was no such thing as the IT boom. It was very different from today when customers are gobbling up hundreds of thousands of square feet. The need then was for smaller spaces for the smaller businesses and companies. The rent in the late 80's and early 90's was a mere 6 or 7 rupees in the CBZ. Today, it is Rs.175 per square foot in a Grade A building. There is a steep change, the capital values and rents have changed, and most importantly, the volumes have changed. Each company comes in with a requirement of at least 40-50 thousand and 100 thousand square feet, sometimes even a million square feet. And we have been able to cash in on this. I feel proud that we have been associated with some of the best companies."
These include Cisco whose largest innovation centre outside the US in Bengaluru occupies 2.8 million sq ft of space in the Prestige Cessna Business Park. Razack estimates that approximately 100 or 150 square feet of workspace is equivalent to one job, and by that measure, taking into account the 105 million sq ft of properties that it has built, Prestige has helped create a sizeable number of jobs.
"Location, chemistry and trust are the keys to our success."
- Irfan Razack, Chairman, Prestige Group
Prominent properties that Prestige has built have pedigreed occupants; in Bengaluru, apart from Cisco, HCL, Cargill, Micron Technologies and Sixt are based in Prestige Cessna Business Park, (4mn sqft), JP Morgan, Western Digital, Adobe, Oracle, Amadeus, Juniper, IQVIA, Bosch, Aricent, Mylan, [24]7 at Prestige Tech Park (6mn sq ft), and HUL, Exxon Mobil, Caterpillar, Baxter, VMWare,TCS, GE, Britannia, Rockstar at Prestige Shantiniketan (3.6mn sqft).
Outside Bengaluru, the Prestige Polygon in Chennai (5,00,000sft) hosts the offices of RR Donnelley, Microsoft, Kellogg Brown & Root Engineering, Grant Thornton, Durr, Walker Chandiok & Co, Toray Industries (India) Pvt. Ltd., Aruba Network India Private Limited, Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited, Hewlett Packard India and the TMS Square in Kochi (2,17,000 sqft) hosts IQVIA, Samsung, Deloitte and Blue Star.
Constant reinvention and evolution is fuelled by "innovations in the way we manage our company and the way we construct our buildings. We adapt new technologies to get speedier and better construction", says Razack. A recent technology that Prestige uses is aluminium shuttering which eliminates the need for concrete walls and the attendant procedures of block work, plastering and curing. This helps build high rise buildings faster.
He's also acutely aware of the need to use technology to connect with millennial customers who demand instant resolution of issues. And soon, all its new homes will be 'connected' homes that the owners can monitor with their smartphones. As construction becomes more reliant on technology, he also wants to ensure that automation does not lead to job losses. "We have to balance both and make sure that innovations and technology go hand in hand with the human side", he says.
Prestige's USP lies in choosing the type of development that is appropriate to the environment and making it relevant to the target audience. At the heart of this success is amazing goodwill that Razack, a local boy, enjoys in the city, and the popularity has paid off handsomely. From Richie Rich businessmen to the average joe, they view Prestige with rose-tinted glasses.
"Trust is the answer to why our sales are more than anybody else's. Over a period of years, we have built not just buildings but the confidence of our customers. People are putting their life savings and getting themselves into debt to buy a home that will be an asset. We have an edge over other builders as people prefer to buy a Prestige property if there is one available within their budget and in the location of their choice", says Razack.

A bronze funeral chamber has been installed in this space capable of holding up to nine sarcophagi with the remains of deceased bishops of Vitoria (6) and of those to come.

Q: Raw socket question: Are TCP packets passed to a raw socket? According to Unix Network Programming Vol1, "Received UDP packets and received TCP packets are never passed to a raw socket. If a process wants to read IP datagrams containing UDP or TCP packets, the packets must be read at the datalink layer"...
But contrary to this, there is a IPPROTO_TCP protocol option in creating raw sockets which appears to me as serving this exact purpose. Could anyone please point out any mistakes I might be making in understanding this?

A: When You create a raw socket, you can specify which protocol to bind to, UDP, TCP, or ICMP using the IPPROTO_TCP,etc protocol options. However, this option only determines what type of socket you are opening and therefore what data receeived on that port will be forwarded to your application. SO if you set IPPROTO_TCP and open a raw socket on port 5000, your application will receive raw TCP packets sent to port 5000, but not raw UDP packets sent to port 5000.
Even though the packets are guaranteed to be TCP, the socket will not do any of the normal TCP processing (syn,ack, reordering, etc), you just get the raw IP packets with a chunk of binary data representing the TCP headers. With a normal TCP socket, the data you receive is the data embedded inside the TCP headers. With a Raw TCP socket, the data is still everything embedded in the link layer headers, so you will see the IP Header, followed by the TCP Header, followed by the payload data for each packet received.
For more information, check out this tutorial:

Father's Uniform Symbol Analysis
After the metamorphosis, Gregor can no longer support his family financially, which used to be his main focus in life and a source of pride. Gregor's father, mother and sister Grete must return to work, and the father gets a job as a banker's assistant, which requires a sharp-looking uniform. At first, Gregor's father looks youthful and trim in the uniform, but then the uniform begins to look decrepit and overused, and the father never takes it off, demonstrating both his age and exhaustion, and hinting at the lazy life he used to lead when Gregor provided for the family. The uniform is a complex symbol. It demonstrates how Gregor is less essential to his family than he'd thought, and links to the story's end, when Grete, the father and mother go on a pleasant outing, already moving past the tragedy of Gregor's death. The uniform also demonstrates how, with passing time, attitudes change. Nothing holds steady in this world—neither the family's affection for Gregor, nor Gregor's father's newfound productiveness and vitality.

Hornets dismiss James Borrego as head coach
The search for a new head coach begins following the end of Borrego's four-year tenure.

The Charlotte Hornets have dismissed James Borrego as head coach, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Charlotte is dismissing coach James Borrego, sources tell ESPN.
— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) April 22, 2022
Borrego was let go after four years at the helm, leading Charlotte to a 138-163 record. Following two seasons of improvement after Kemba Walker's departure initiated a rebuild, Borrego was signed to a multi-year contract extension in August and led the Hornets to a 43-39 record, good for their second-straight play-in tournament appearance and a 10-win improvement from the prior season.
The Hornets undeniably got better under Borrego's watch, but perhaps the pair of blowout losses in the play-in soured the front office on his ability to take the team to the next level of contention. Exit interviews were also conducted recently, and there's at least a chance it was communicated by players that the roster wasn't fully bought into his message.
The search for a new head coach begins. The news is still fresh, so no candidates have been rumored yet. That should happen in the coming days and weeks, and it wouldn't be surprising if most of them are experienced head coaches or long-time assistants for playoff teams. Remember, though, the grass is not always greener on the other side.


Fall has officially arrived. What a glorious time of year to work and play outside. The cool air fills us with energy. Gardens are bountiful with vegetables, flowers, and herbs for cutting, cooking, and preserving. The drought has ended and we have been blessed with a few deep, soaking rains, making it an ideal time for planting. Although the night-time air may be cold, the soil is still very warm. Plants of all sorts, grass seed, and cover crop seeds root very quickly in the fall.
Colorful Echinaceas, new dwarf Coreopsis, repeat blooming yarrows, and a lot more are flowering now.
At Natureworks, our mission is to get you to fall in love with your fall garden. So many people plant in the spring, and why not? Spring fever hits all of us hard and we rush into the garden center and buy tons of flowering plants. There is a problem with this. By September those spring bloomers are long faded. In order to have a colorful, lush, amazing fall garden, you have to plan for it. Since most of us don't give a thought to fall in May, you can remedy that situation now.
Ascene from our gardens, complete with a monarch butterfly. The Echinacea seedheads on the left remain for the birds. As they stop blooming, the native white Sanguisorba, pink Japanese anemone, and yellow perennial sunflowers carry on the show.
Stroll through the Natureworks demonstration gardens and you will see TONS of perennials, flowering shrubs, ornamental grasses, and fall bulbs in bloom. Asters abound, in every color and size. Perennial sunflowers, variegated Liriope, Chelone (turtlehead), sedums… I could just go on and on. Slowly, steadily, we have been developing our fall gardens. You can too.
My personal method at home is to identify gaps in color and then bring home plants to fill those gaps. At first, fall plantings may look a bit out of scale. Those plants will have established and taken off by next year, providing you with endless joy! Even annuals and tender perennials can be incredible right now. Our favorite orange annual flower right now is Leonotis (shown on the left). You have to see this plant to believe it! It is just budding up now and we have many for sale. We use the blossoms in pumpkin arrangements as well as a spiky accent plant for fall containers.
Beginners buy annual mums and plunk them in here and there. Although they add color, they often look like an afterthought and rarely come back the following year. If you must plant mums, check out our collection of PERENNIAL mums. I have been cultivating this category for years and years, having first realized that mums can be amazing late fall flowers if you choose them right. We have over a dozen varieties including orange 'Bolero', white daisy 'Venus', purple button, super late blooming 'Mei-Kyo', Mammoth mums, Global Warming mums, and a lot more. Plant these now and next year they will be big and full. In a couple of years you will be lifting and dividing them in the spring, spreading them around your property and giving them away to friends.
Global Warming mums are so named because they bloom in October, providing nectar for our hungry late fall pollinators.
You can give the gift of a beautiful garden to anyone you visit or needs a pick-me-up. We create pretty fall garden baskets, complete with colorful perennials, kale, winter pansies, mums, and a lot more. You can also give someone a spring bulb garden. We carry many collections of bulbs for different purposes- succession color, daffodil blends, that sort of thing.
My staff can guide you in creating a very special gift that will continue to grow and thrive. You can even have them make up a fall fairy garden or terrarium!As I walk around my own gardens, my head is spinning with ideas about what I want to rearrange, reorganize, and divide. That season is finally upon us. From now until the end of October you should be tweaking your gardens. Plants gotten too big? Something growing in the wrong spot? Daylilies need splitting? Do it in the fall. Next spring you will be wearing rose colored glasses, looking at your emerging garden, thinking all is well with the world. Any issues you see now should be corrected in the next six weeks.
This Saturday our 9:30 garden walk will focus on hydrangeas in a big way. This was not a great year for hydrangea lovers and I have been bombarded with questions for months. I will focus on pruning, winter protection, and the various varieties and how they differ. Bring your questions- this is going to be an interesting morning. Then I will demonstrate how to use hydrangea flowers in dried wreaths and arrangements. Details are below.
Next weekend, Oct. 4th and 5th, is our 5th Annual Bulbs for Breast Cancer Fundraiser weekend. We have a very exciting time planned. The Gmonkey organic food truck and some local artists will be here selling their goods. We will have drawings and raffles all designed to raise money for After the Storm, a local breast cancer support group. 10% of the revenues of all bulbs sold over the weekend will go to this wonderful organization.
I will be giving a couple of bulb workshops including the basics (which side goes up, how deep do I plant them…) and a design class that will teach you how to use bulbs to double your color for six months. The details are below. Please spread the word and tell all of your friends. We want to raise a TON of money for After the Storm, Inc this year!So much is going on at Natureworks it makes my head spin. I hope you are as excited as I am about this fall season and will stop in for a visit this week.

Caffeine & Cacao Ice Cream by High Road – Review
I'm always on the lookout for new and interesting ice creams. With an eye towards things involving stimulant, naturally. So when I first browsed through the freezer aisle and caught an ice cream that called itself Caffeine & Cacao…actually had the balls to list "caffeine" in its title? I was, as you might expect, intrigued. Throw cacao in there with it and I was very interested. Buzzy, cacao-infested goodness–sounds great. But after purchasing, the thought struck me: what if they were serious? What if caffeine was now an ice cream flavor?
Most of you might not be aware, since most of you probably aren't insane and thus don't have powdered pure caffeine in your kitchen and have been known to make your own caffeinated water (cough), but caffeine does have a flavor. It's rather unpleasant, actually. That's why you can only put so much caffeine into caffeinated water before that bitter flavor starts to push through. Highly caffeinated bits of confectionery throw lots of sugar and more at caffeine to try and offset its flavor. But what if someone was bonkers enough to try and make an actual caffeine-flavored ice cream?
[ad#longpost]Well, that day has not happened. Upon looking into the matter, what we've got here is something much more pleasant. They've taken Jittery Joe's coffee from Athens, Georgia and made a mix of it, along with toasted cacao nibs and a belgian chocolate ganache. This is all inside a nice milk cream ice cream.
Also, as you might have surmised by the Athens, Georgia reference…this is apparently from a local ice cream and sorbet forge called High Road. This flavor suggests that they are ice cream wizards of immense power. Let me try to describe this to you:
The ice cream base is there as a transport service for all the other tasty bits I listed above. However, unlike my Magnum bar review of recent days, the ice cream isn't just sort of there. It is milky, creamy, and the sort of thing that if you had by itself you'd be content with. The coffee flavor isn't screaming "Coffee" in your face. Sometimes you need that. Sometimes you need coffee to wrestle you to the ground and take your wallet. But this is just a nice smooth coffee–one that isn't just a transport mechanism for stimulants…it's just pleasant to have. And the chocolate flavor comes alongside the coffee so well you almost forget it's there. Little bits of punctuation are provided by the cacao bits for when you want a darker taste. It's honestly one of the most balanced arrays of flavors in ice cream I've encountered to date.
There is, however, one downside. If you find yourself fighting to retain self control when confronted with a pint of Ben and Jerry's or Haagen Dazs, then you are screwed. Because this flavor combination is so deceptively smooth and subtle, you will find yourself eating more than you meant to. Just plan on it. This is the ice cream equivalent of those cocktails where you can "barely taste the alcohol" and as a result you drink eight and wind up not remembering where you left your pants the next day.
I found my pint at Whole Foods. High Road does have a store…but they can't ship at the moment because, well, it's summer. They come back online in September. But in the meantime: here. And for more info about High Road including their absolutely insane list of flavors, here you go.

JNU teachers' body welcomes Delhi High Court order striking down UGC policy on research admissions
The Delhi High Court on October 1 said the rule allowing admission to MPhil and PhD courses solely on the basis of viva voce was arbitrary.
Oct 04, 2018 · 06:35 pm Updated Oct 04, 2018 · 09:30 pm
Facebook/JNU
The Jawaharlal Nehru University Teachers' Association on Thursday welcomed the Delhi High Court's order striking down a University Grants Commission regulation from 2016 allowing students admission to MPhil and PhD courses solely on the basis of viva voce, an oral examination. The court held on October 1 that the regulation was arbitrary and violates the right to equality as mentioned in Article 14 of the Constitution.
Students seeking admission to MPhil or PhD courses usually face a two-stage process. The candidates are first required to qualify a written test, in which they are expected to secure at least 50% marks, and then clear a viva voce. For admission, while some universities considered a formula that took into account the student's performance both in an entrance test and interview, a few had a test-only policy. The 2016 regulation changed that to lay sole emphasis on the interview.
"In the opinion of this court, the entire weightage to performance of a candidate in the interview, or viva voce, based on the evaluation of the 'power point' presentation affords the widest latitude to arbitrary and capricious behaviour of the members of the board, who know that the fate of admission hangs in their hands," the court said in its judgement. "Discretion, wherever allowed, is to be minimised; more so when it concerns admission to academic institutions."
The court further said: "Academics are no doubt brilliant in their fields; however they are not immune to baser tendencies, such as unconscious bias [subject matter mannerisms, perceived lack of respect, etc]. This can tend to cloud their wisdom and conferring the exclusive power to admit a student at MPhil/PhD levels would therefore be arbitrary."
The court also directed the university and the University Grants Commission to work out a criterion to give some concession to candidates from Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe and Other Backward Class communities in the preliminary written test.
The petitioners pointed out to the court that JNU provided only 102 seats in both the courses in the current academic year following the regulation, compared to 970 seats in 2016-'17.
In its judgement, the High Court reprimanded JNU for wasting valuable resources, the teachers' association said in a statement. "JNUTA has consistently argued that the seat cuts in JNU in 2017 and 2018 were in violation of the CEI Act [Central Educational Institutions (Reservation in Admission) Act] and that the 100% viva voce and uniform eligibility marks without concessions to marginalized communities were unfair, discriminatory, and antithetical to social justice."
The association said the court's judgement has vindicated its position. "JNUTA urges the JNU administration to stop arbitrary and discriminatory practices in the admissions process," it added. "The JNU administration should implement the Delhi High Court's orders in toto."
The association accused the university administration of introducing online examinations based on multiple choice questions. This is a non-inclusive and discriminatory practice, the teachers' body said. "JNUTA urges the JNU administration from desisting from such steam-rolling action that directly contradicts the fundamental precepts of social justice," it added.
