The African Development Bank's board has approved a $20 million facility to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), to support renewable-based, mini-grid solutions to the off-grid cities of Isiro, Bumba and Genema.
Upon completion, the envisioned mini-grids that range from 3 to 10MW will directly connect 21,200 households and 2,100 SMEs, and public buildings, benefitting at least 150,000 people.
With limited grid coverage - around 10% nationally - many Congolese rely on kerosene or diesel fuel for their lamps, cookers and electricity generators.
Less than 1% of rural and 35% of urban areas have access to electricity from the national grid.
Amadou Hott, the Bank's Vice-President for Power, Energy, Climate Change and Green Growth said the Bank's financial support to the DRC's off-grid electricity programme would transform the country's energy sector and deliver high development impact.
He observed that while helping to eradicate the use of diesel fuel in the target communities, the programme will also foster the country's transition to low-carbon growth.
Hott said: "The innovative scheme under this programme is also expected to demonstrate viability for private sector led mini-grid financing, which will open up a market for mini-grid investment in sub-Saharan Africa.
The bank's financing will complement the UK's Department for International Development-backed Essor - Access to Electricity (A2E) initiative, which is a technical assistance programme that supports the Government-led mini-grid auction and project preparation.
The DFID support seeks to promote the proliferation of private-led green mini-grid projects in the DRC.
The bank will provide a blend of private and concessional resources notably from the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and other development partners to the sponsors/consortia that will be selected in the auction process.
The board of the GCF approved $21 million for the programme during its 21st Board Meeting in October 2018.
The bank is also providing a $1 million Sustainable Energy Fund for Africa (SEFA) grant to provide advisory services to the Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo for the procurement of solar PV mini-grid systems.
The advisory services also encompass mini-grid regulatory framework development, project feasibility studies, extensive policy and regulatory level engagement.


JAY Z and Beyonce's "On the Run Tour" may be the biggest thing going at the moment, but there's another high-profile duo about to hit the road soon. On August 8th, the "Drake vs. Lil Wayne Tour" kicks off in NYC. Continuing his chat with MTV, Wayne shares a few details about what to expect.
When asked who would win in a head-to-head battle, Wayne gave the "good guy" the edge and said Drake-who will be appearing on Tha Carter V "way more" than just "Believe Me"-would come out victorious. Y'all agree?

The Rage Will Continue
A deadly disease infects us all. We acquire it from birth. It threatens lives and incites fear. The disease is racism.
Black Americans have been subjected to brutality—physically, spiritually, and economically—since their ancestors were forced into slave ships and transported as chattel to this continent. From the "slave patrols" that subjected slaves to prohibitive surveillance, to the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist vigilantes that tortured and hung blacks, to police brutality and incarceration, black people have been beaten, robbed, humiliated, abused, cheated, raped, and murdered by organized gangs of white men, whether vigilantes or forces of the law. The prevailing culture, in its attitudes and through its institutions, has supported the subjugation of an entire population. The flourishing of the black community's culture is a testimony to its creativity and resilience under the harshest of conditions.
Slavery is America's original sin, a psychic wound, exacerbated by racism and violence against Native American and immigrant populations, that manifests in incalculable ways. From the very beginning of our nation, the fractional value of black lives was enshrined in the Constitution. In 1787, Southern slave states lobbied for and were given an extra three-fifths per owned slave toward voter representation in the House of Representatives. American institutions have since prevented African-Americans equal employment, fair housing and business opportunities, voting rights, access to healthy food and healthcare, among other abuses.
Suppression and dehumanization have created an (im)perfect storm of institutional oppression for black lives. The baton of condoned racism that permeates our society has bludgeoned the community, not into submission as intended but rather into anger and resistance. The current protests, nearly all of them peaceful, are the inevitable and surprisingly mild evidence of justifiable rage. Unless this nation finds ways to eliminate the institutional oppression that has reigned for 400 years, we will be condemned to eternal repetition of enforced brutality and reactive anger. Resistance from a community and its allies who refuse to bend to the baton will continue unabated.
Cynical politicians use race bias along with push button social issues and religion to maintain conflict between marginalized groups. Hateful calls to "dominate the streets" only exacerbate the existential crisis that is racism in America. The aim is to thwart and control, divide and conquer. The powerful institutions of government, law, banking and commerce perpetuate this dangerous and dismal status quo, turning marginalized whites against "minority communities," whose population will surpass that of whites before 2050.
Working-class whites have more in common with blacks than they have with demagogic billionaires. Marginalized Americans of all races have more in common with immigrants than with their low-wage-paying masters. Black and immigrant workers joined progressive labor movements at the beginning of the last century to affect numerous progressive changes. If these communities were to again join in common cause against institutional oppression, mighty political shifts would inevitably follow, though with the divisiveness of Trumpism currently rampant, a joining at the ramparts seems very unlikely at this time.
The current upsurge of peaceful protests and sporadic rioting are the inevitable result of centuries of oppression and violence against the black community. Civil unrest will continue as long as debasement and violence against its citizens continues. Lives will be sacrificed, property will be destroyed, and despair and divisiveness in America will continue until the political will and the heart and soul of America responds.
How long can a nation bury reality and pretend that racism and its many abuses doesn't prevail? How long will we continue to enslave ourselves to racial injustice? How long will we tacitly support institutional oppression that promotes educational, vocational, health, and economic injustice? How long can a bunkered society survive behind walls, gates and security systems, ignoring brutality? How long will we continue to justify these abuses, pretending they don't hurt us all?
Our survival as a nation depends on correcting these raw injustices. Now is the time for white people to remember their history, end their denial, and fearlessly address the sources for justified black rage. If we don't act together now, we condemn ourselves to many more long, hot summers.

Cindy Kimberly Biography
5 ft 5in
Dutch (Netherlands}
About Cindy Kimberly
Cindy Kimberly is the definition of a self-made star. She needed a bit of fortune to become famous, but she managed to turn her five seconds of fame into incredible success. Kimberly is a famous model from the Netherlands, and she is half-Spanish and half Indonesian. She has close ties to Spain, and she is fluent in Spanish, English, and Italian.
Kimberly is currently signed to Uno models, and you can find some of her best looks on social media. The 21-year-old is quite famous online with 6.3 million followers on Instagram. This piece will provide the details on Cindy's rise to fame and her rumored relationships.
She rose to fame after Justin Beiber posted her photo on Instagram
Before her spectacular rise to fame, Cindy lived with her mom in Costa Blanca. Cindy's mom didn't make a lot of money, and so Cindy chipped by earning money through babysitting. She earned around four Euros an hour as a babysitter and a tutor. At the time, Cindy attended Maria Ibars secondary school in Denia.
Cindy went to school, but she was more interested in making it in the fashion world. She idolized fashion icons such as Justin Beiber, and she wrote pretend letters to her favorite celebrities. Cindy didn't hide that she wanted to be a model, and thanks to one of her idols, her dream came true. In December 2015, Justin Beiber posted a photo of Cindy on his Instagram page and added the caption, 'OMG who is this??'
That post made Cindy an internet sensation, and a short while later, modeling companies were knocking at her door looking to sign her. Cindy told the Daily Mail:
"When I saw Justin was asking about me I got very emotional because I've been a fan of his for more than six years. It seems like a fairytale. A friend of mine often used to joke that one day I'd be one of the girls he talked about and I didn't believe her. My life changed positively since Justin appeared in my life."
Cindy initially found it difficult to handle the fame, but she has gotten used to it.
Cindy's internet fame helped change her mom's life
On the advice of her mom, Kimberly chose to finish her studies before becoming a full-time model. It was difficult for Cindy to focus in school with all the media attention, and so she decided to try homeschooling.
Kimberly's mom had raised Kimberly by herself since she split with Cindy's dad when Cindy was three. She struggled as a single mother, and she had to work long hours to make enough money for herself and Cindy. Her life changed after Cindy became a model because she didn't have to work extra hard anymore.
Cindy and her mom still share a tight bond. Kimberly talked to the Daily Mail about her mom's reaction to her success:
"My mum's happy for me with everything new that's happening in my life. She already knew I was a fan of Justin's. She's always urging me though to stay focused on my responsibilities with my studies and keep my feet on the ground."
She was rumored to be dating Tyga and Lewis Hamilton
An attractive girl like Cindy is bound to attract high-profile stars, and in April 2019, she was linked to 6-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton. The rumors emerged after Hamilton and Cindy were spotted flying into Barcelona in Lewis' private jet. Cindy downplayed the rumors about a relationship between the pair while speaking to Europa Press:
"For now we are friends, I do not rule out anyone in general. All friendships are open to love, my heart is 70 percent occupied. It is due to my cats and my mother."
In June 2019, Cindy was linked with rapper Tyga. Rumors about a relationship between the pair emerged after they were spotted leaving La Scala restaurant in Beverly Hills.

At Dr. Korol Dental, our dentists offer minimal to moderate conscious sedation dentistry and are committed to making all dental treatments painless & stress-free, helping you attain and keep a healthy, beautiful smile.
At Dr. Korol Dental, we use oral medications to help our patients relax during their dental procedures. This is typically administered in-office and wears off a few hours after your procedure.
Whether you require a root canal or a simple extraction, oral sedation dentistry allows dentists to create a safe and comfortable dental experience for patients.
How does oral sedation dentistry work? Oral sedation dentistry helps relax patients by slowing the action of the central nervous system. Patients remain aware of their surroundings but are less responsive to external stimuli such as the sound of the drill of the smell of materials.
Your dentist may prescribe a sedative to take the night before your extraction or other treatment.
This is to ensure you have a good night's sleep and wake up relaxed.
You should NOT drink/eat for at least 6 hours prior to your appointment unless otherwise directed by your dentist.
You will need a responsible adult to bring you to the office the day of your treatment.
Additional medications will be provided to create the ultimate relaxation experience.
Our experienced sedation dentistry team will monitor you throughout the visit to ensure your safety and comfort.
What will I experience after taking a sedative? With mild-moderate sedation, you will remain alert and responsive but feel much calmer and more relaxed.
Prior to your treatment you will need a responsible adult (friend or family member) to drive you to and from your dentist appointment.
For short appointments such as extractions, you may need to take half a day off work.
For more extensive treatment, consider taking the whole day off.
Every patient is different and while your procedure alone might not call for sedation, it can be beneficial to both you and your dentist to pursue your sedation dentistry options.
Before considering sedation dentistry, it is very important to book a consultation with a qualified dentist as they can best advise whether or not sedation is the right option for you.
To learn more about how sedation dentistry can help make dental treatments such as extractions and wisdom teeth removals painless and stress-free, contact our Calgary dentist at 403-245-9099.

« Doubt: John Patrick Shanley
The Official sexy gypsy. Oscar Ballots »
2009 Oscar Preview
Of the five films in this category, only two really have a shot. Frost/Nixon was a great stage adaptation with amazing performances and, while solid, was ultimately compromised by Ron Howard's lack of technical abilities. The Reader was boring, poorly constructed, and probably the most overrated film in the last 20 years. And Benjamin Button was average at best.
That leaves us with Milk and Slumdog Millionaire. And it's close.
Milk was perfectly casted, acted and edited. Thankfully, Gus van Sant showed enough restraint not to fuck it up with his usual annoyingly pseudo-artistic direction. Add to that the best performance of Sean Penn's career and you have a serious contender for Best Picture.
But, unfortunately for Gus van Sant and Milk, 2009 is the year of Slumdog. With great music, flawless direction and screenplay, Slumdog Millionaire has finally brought Danny Boyle to the forefront of cinema. He's a versatile director who can excel in any genre, and Slumdog's complex, non-linear story line really allowed him to showcase his skills. The result was a beautifully executed film whose broad appeal, blending of cultures, and surprising rise to recognition puts it over the top.
WHO SHOULD WIN: Slumdog Millionaire
WHO WILL WIN: Slumdog Millionaire
Why is Brad Pitt in this category? He gave a much better, rounder performance in A River Runs Through It and is the weak link in this category with his one-note portrayal of Benjamin Button. Richard Jenkins is finally getting the love he deserves, after years of being "that guy"–you recognize him, know he's in things, but you don't know his name or why you seem to remember him (if you still don't know who he is, he's the dead father in Six Feet Under). Unfortunately, his well-developed performance will be eclipsed by the big three: Mickey Rourke, Frank Langella, and Sean Penn. This will ultimately be decided by politics: the resurrection of Mickey Rourke, the Nixon scandal, or the gay character post-prop 8.
WHO SHOULD WIN: Mickey Rourke
WHO WILL WIN: Sean Penn, because the Academy loves him.
First off, the Academy needs to decide what constitutes a leading role, because Kate Winslet should have been up for Revolutionary Road, not The Reader, both for technical and performance-quality reasons. She'll probably win, but only because Stephen Daldry is a marketing whore and has been politicking for The Reader like he was Blagojevich selling a Senate seat.
Meryl Streep and Angelina Jolie both had great roles, but it was more the writing than they acting that made their characters special. While Angelina Jolie will get a nomination for anything in which she's not half naked shooting at people, Streep didn't bring the expected veteran-actress energy to an already well written character–and it fell short.
Melissa Leo in Frozen River was an interesting choice. A small, low-budget, independent film shot in 24 days spawns a Best Actress nomination? But it's a well-crafted story–solid throughout. As for Melissa Leo's performance, as good a job as she did, she's not beating out Streep, let alone Winslet.
Anne Hathaway, on the other hand, deserves credit for nailing her part as a fresh-out-of-rehab junkie–a role often cliched, parodied, and overplayed. Sadly, no one saw Rachel Getting Married. It's not a great film but Hathaway more than makes up for it (Plus, Tunde from TV on The Radio plays her brother-in-law-to-be!)
WHO SHOULD WIN: Anne Hathaway
WHO WILL WIN: Kate Winslet
Robert Downey, Jr. is an amazing actor and definitely deserves some fucking recognition. But Tropic Thunder? Really?? It's picks like this that make people clown the Oscar. Everyone else was solid, but Josh Brolin, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Michael Shannon picked a shitty year to be nominated.
Philip Seymour Hoffman was miscast in the role of Father Flynn, and he did the best he could. Still, his subpar performance paled in comparison to most of his other work. Josh Brolin, though slightly outshone by the rest of the supporting cast, was impressive in Milk. He just seems to have bad luck–going against Daniel Day-Lewis last year, and now Heath Ledger. Michael Shannon had three great scenes, and blew me away in Revolutionary Road. He was the most interesting character in a Sam Mendes movie, which in itself says a lot, and he had a huge impact in his 120 seconds of screen time.
Yet as good as they were, Brolin and Shannon especially, no one is beating Heath Ledger. A solid, completely immersive portrayal of a psychotic clown in a movie that destroyed box offices everywhere? He deserves the award no matter what, and it only helps that he's dead.
WHO SHOULD WIN: Heath Ledger (but only because he's dead)
WHO WILL WIN: Heath Ledger (but only because he's dead)
How long do you have to be in a film to fulfill the "supporting" criteria? Viola Davis, though very emotional, had one scene in Doubt. However, she was just as memorable as Michael Shannon in her limited screen time. Penelope Cruz didn't have a much bigger role, and she's only here because she played a cup full of crazy in a Woody Allen movie, and her crazy wasn't as good as crazies in the past (Wilkinson in Michael Clayton). But Amy Adams is a head above the rest in this category, and hopefully that's enough.
Taraji Henson is here just because the Academy loved Benjamin Button, but it wasn't a great film and she wasn't all that good in it. Outside of Cruz, she's the weakest nominee in this category. It was like she played the great-great-grandmother of her character in Hustle and Flow.
Marisa Tomei is the dark horse here. She gave an incredible performance in The Wrestler and she's still ridiculously hot.
WHO SHOULD WIN: Amy Adams
WHO WILL WIN: Penelope Cruz
If you've ever read sexy gypsy, you already know our pick for Best Director. Motherfucking Danny Boyle.
Stephen Daldry is now on my shit list for The Reader–even more so for plugging the fuck out of an inferior movie and tricking everyone into thinking it was great. Who the fuck does he think he is, M. Night Shyamalan?
David Fincher is a great director with some amazing movies under his belt, but the travesty of Curious Case of Benjamin Button is not one of them. The sequence with Tilda Swinton and Brad Pitt was the only time you really saw Fincher's influence, and it was the best part of the film.
Ron Howard is still Hollywood's golden boy, so it's not surprising he was nominated for Frost/Nixon. Aside from persistent anachronisms and mishandling of time, Howard preserved the spirit of the stage play and the camera work was excellent.
Gus van Sant finally decided to humble himself and make a solid, consistent film, and is really the only one who could challenge Boyle. The Academy loves him, and could look to make up for robbing him of Best Director in 1997, plus some Prop 8 guilt could come into play. This is definitely a category to watch.
WHO SHOULD WIN: Danny Boyle (with an honorable mention and apology to Sam Mendes)
WHO WILL WIN: Danny Boyle
Who did Sam Mendes piss off? He is a great filmmakers and Revolutionary Road, though disturbingly depressing, was an amazing film. Camera work, editing, score, acting, screenplay–all great. Yet the Academy left him out of the running and even changed the nomination for Kate Winslet, calling her performance in The Reader a lead–a role which the HFPA considered a supporting a few months ago. I think he's in the doghouse for some reason, and Michael Shannon's nomination is an apology. I suspect that, though Ledger has it locked, they might upset everything and give it to Shannon, just to show there's no hard feelings.
Amy Adams deserves to win best supporting, but everything in Hollywood is political (which could also explain Winslet's bump to lead role after Daldry's whoring). My guess is that Cruz could walk with this one because the Academy loves Woody Allen and they're sorry he made a dumb movie they can't nominate for anything else.
Again making up for its past mistakes, the Academy has shown major love to Benjamin Button. They want so badly to let Pitt have one, but Babel just wasn't that good. And Zodiac, Fincher's first Academy-worthy film, just came out too early for Oscar consideration.
4.) Robert Downey, Jr. has been in some great movies, always does his roles beautifully, and the Academy thinks he's due for something. But since Charlie Bartlett got impatient and fucked off what could have been a serious, profound ending, he couldn't get anything for that. And Iron Man was entertaining, but no actor will ever get an Oscar for playing a superhero. Downey's next film is The Soloist with Jamie Foxx, directed by Joe Wright. It would have been a contender for the Oscars but was pulled from its November release date and slated for early March, 2009. So now it comes down to Tropic Thunder.

Q: Get all methods on an Type[] of interfaces using LINQ? I'm trying to find all the methods that an interface grants me through reflection. I have a type array which I verify has only interfaces, from there I need to extract all the methods.Unfortunately, If I do something like typeof(IList).GetMethods() it only returns the methods on IList not those on ICollection, or IEnumerable
I've tried the following linq query but it doesn't return the methods found on the outer interfaces. How can I fix my query?
from outerInterfaces in interfaces
from i in outerInterfaces.GetInterfaces()
from m in i.GetMethods()
select m

If this was SQL I could do something like a recursive CTE with a union all, but I don't think such a syntax exist in C#. Can anyone help here?

A: How about something like this:
 typeof(IList<>).GetMethods().Concat(typeof(IList<>)
                .GetInterfaces()
                .SelectMany(i => i.GetMethods()))
                .Select(m => m.Name)
                .ToList().ForEach(Console.WriteLine);

EDIT: Response to the comments.
Tested it with this code:
    public interface IFirst
    {
        void First();
    }

    public interface ISecond : IFirst
    {
        void Second();
    }

    public interface IThird :ISecond
    {
        void Third();
    }

    public interface IFourth : IThird
    {
        void Fourth();
    }

Test code:
        typeof(IFourth).GetMethods().Concat(typeof(IFourth)
            .GetInterfaces()
            .SelectMany(i => i.GetMethods()))
            .Select(m => m.Name)
            .ToList().ForEach(Console.WriteLine);

And the output is:
Fourth
Third
Second
First

A: There's no "built-in" LINQ recursion (that I'm aware of), but you can create a boilerplate LINQ extension to get all descendants:  (warning: compiled in notepad)
static public class RecursionExtensions
{
    static public IEnumerable<T> AllDescendants<T>(this IEnumerable<T> source,
                                                Func<T, IEnumerable<T>> descender)
    {
        foreach (T value in source)
        {
            yield return value;

            foreach (T child in descender(value).AllDescendants<T>(descender))
            {
                yield return child;
            }
        }
    }
}

Then you can use it like this, treating the base types a descendant nodes in a tree:
  from ifaceType in interfaces.AllDescendants( t => t.GetInterfaces())

Given that you can compose your method selector:
from ifaceType in interfaces.AllDescendants( t=> t.GetInterfaces())
from m in ifaceType.GetMethods()
select m

which should give you all methods in all interfaces in the interfaces collection, plus all base interfaces

If you live in Florida, you can sure expect to see an alligator at some point. However, with gator mating season just around the corner, the reptiles are being spotted in the most unusual places, raising eyebrows among Floridians.
On Friday, the Fort Myers Police Department shared a post on Facebook about being dispatched "to a call of an alligator that had torn through a lanai screen and was camped out on a resident's back porch."
The police officers shared a photo of them posing — wide-smiled — with the eight-foot-long alligator, which was eventually handed over to Florida Fish and Wildlife officers.
The same day, Chelsea Brinson shared a video — which has since gone viral — of a gator casually walking across a highway in Fort Myers, unfazed by the cars buzzing by.
In Polk County, a gator was found hanging outside of South County Jail, while in Palm Beach Gardens, an eight-foot, 300-pound alligator decided to take a dip in a family's swimming pool. Lisa Powell Niemiec even shared photos of an alligator making his way into the North Lagoon at the St. Andrews State Park, about three miles east of Panama City Beach.
Although these counters are certainly unusual, these alligators may simply be lonely, just looking extra hard for a mate at this special time of year.
According to Florida Fish and Wildlife, alligator "courtship begins in early April, and mating occurs in May or June. Females build a mound nest of soil, vegetation, or debris and deposit an average of 32 to 46 eggs in late June or early July. Incubation requires approximately 63 to 68 days, and hatching occurs from mid-August through early September."

RAS Request
Aleksandar Milanovic RAS
MathBomb
Aleksandar Milanovic is an international prospect in the 2020 NFL Draft. All metrics that have been recorded are unofficial if the metric is highlighted in yellow. Once the NFL Draft has concluded, player scores will be finalized and the prospect card will be replaced with an official card.
Some or all of the player's metrics were recorded from an unofficial source such as local media, were unable to be verified from an official source, or were projected based on given trends. These situations will be called out.
He recorded a Relative Athletic Score of 0.19, out of a possible 10.0. RAS is a composite metric on a 0 to 10 scale based on the average of all of the percentile for each of the metrics the player completed either at the Combine or pro day.
He had a recorded height of 6055 that season, recorded as XYYZ where X is feet, YY is inches, and Z is eighths of an inch. That correlates to 6 feet, 5 and 5/8 of an inch or 77.625 inches, or 197.1675 centimeters. This correlates to a 9.81 score out of 10.0.
He recorded a weight of 283 in pounds, which is approximately 128 kilograms. This correlates to a 1.35 score out of 10.0.
Based on his weight, he has a projected 40 yard dash time of 5.0. This is calculated by taking 0.00554 multiplied by his weight and then adding 3.433.
At the Combine, he recorded a 40 yard dash of 5.49 seconds. This was a difference of 0.49 seconds from his projected time. This forty time correlates to a 1.61 score out of 10.0.
Using Bill Barnwell's calculation, this Combine 40 time gave him a Speed Score of 62.31.
The time traveled between the 20 and 40 yard lines is known as the Flying Twenty. As the distance is also known, we can calculate the player's speed over that distance. The time he traveled the last twenty yards at the Combine was 2.32 seconds. Over 20 yards, we can calculate his speed in yards per second to 8.62. Taking into account the distance in feet (60 feet), we can calculate his speed in feet per second to 25.86. Breaking it down further, we can calculate his speed in inches per second to 310.34. Knowing the feet per second of 25.86, we can calculate the approximate miles per hour by multiplying that value by 0.681818 to give us a calculated MPH of 17.6 in the last 20 yards of his run.
At the Combine, he recorded a PROJECTED 20 yard split of 3.17 seconds. This correlates to a 1.18 score out of 10.0.
We can calculate the speed traveled over the second ten yards of the 40 yard dash easily, as the distance and time are both known. The time he traveled the second ten yards at the Combine was 1.25 seconds. Over 10 yards, we can calculate his speed in yards per second to 8.0. Taking into account the distance in feet (30 feet), we can calculate his speed in feet per second to 24.0. Breaking it down further, we can calculate his speed in inches per second to 288.0. Knowing the feet per second of 24.0, we can calculate the approximate miles per hour by multiplying that value by 0.681818 to give us a calculated MPH of 16.4 in the second ten yards of his run.
The time he traveled the first ten yards at the Combine was 1.92 seconds. Over 10 yards, we can calculate his speed in yards per second to 5.0. Taking into account the distance in feet (30 feet), we can calculate his speed in feet per second to 16.0. Breaking it down further, we can calculate his speed in inches per second to 188.0. Knowing the feet per second of 16.0, we can calculate the approximate miles per hour by multiplying that value by 0.681818 to give us a calculated MPH of 10.9 in the first ten yards of his run.
At the Combine, he recorded a bench press of 18 repetitions of 225 pounds. This correlates to a 1.0 score out of 10.0.
At the Combine, he recorded a vertical jump of 23.0 inches. This correlates to a 0.64 score out of 10.0.
At the Combine, he recorded a broad jump of 707, which is recorded as FII or FFII . where F is feet and I is inches. This correlates to a 0.7 score out of 10.0.
At the Combine, he recorded a 5-10-5 or 20 yard short shuttle of 5.34 seconds. This correlates to a 0.04 score out of 10.0.
At the Combine, he recorded a 3 cone L drill of 8.56 seconds. This correlates to a 0.25 score out of 10.0.
This player did not record any measurements at their pro day that we were able to find. If they recorded Combine measurements, they stood on them.

La diocesi di Roscrea (in latino: Dioecesis Rosgrensis) è una sede soppressa e sede titolare della Chiesa cattolica. Per la sede titolare, immutato il latino, si usa la grafia Ros Cré.

Territorio
La diocesi si estendeva sul territorio della tribù O'Carroll.

Sede vescovile era la città di Roscrea, nell'odierna contea di Tipperary.

Storia
Il primo vescovo-abate di Roscrea fu san Cronan che è menzionato verso il 610. Egli è anche l'unico vescovo noto di Roscrea. Il monastero di Roscrea era affiancato da una famosa scuola monastica.

Non è nominata fra le diocesi stabilite dal sinodo di Rathbreasail del 1111.

Il sinodo di Kells del 1152 riconobbe la diocesi di Roscrea come suffraganea dell'arcidiocesi di Cashel, ma già verso il 1160 la diocesi fu incorporata nella diocesi di Killaloe.

Dal 1969 Roscrea è annoverata tra le sedi vescovili titolari della Chiesa cattolica con il nome di Ros Cré; dal 18 giugno 2013 il vescovo titolare è Johannes Wübbe, vescovo ausiliare di Osnabrück.

New York City will add four new public statues of women.
Billie Holiday performing in New York City circa 1947. Photo by William P. Gottlieb, courtesy the Library of Congress, via Wikimedia Commons.
As part of a campaign to address the extreme gender disparity in New York City's public statuary, four new monuments to women will be created, helping to ensure that each of the five boroughs has at least one statue of a historic woman. The four new statues will be devoted to jazz great Billie Holiday (in Queens), 19th century civil rights activist Elizabeth Jennings Graham (in Manhattan), women's and children's healthcare advocate Dr. Helen Rodríguez Trías (in the Bronx), and lifesaving lighthouse keeper Katherine Walker (in Staten Island).
The new statues join another monument to a woman already in the pipeline. A statue of Shirley Chisholm, the first black woman in the U.S. House of Representatives, will be erected in her native Brooklyn. All the new monuments are being created as part of an initiative championed by New York City's first lady, Chirlane McCray, and dubbed She Built NYC.
"We pledged to do better by the leaders, achievers and artists who have not gotten their due in the histories written by men," McCary was quoted by the New York Times as saying during a speech announcing the new batch of statues.
The city has not yet selected artists to create the new monuments, but municipal officials expect that process to be completed by 2020, with the first new monuments being unveiled in 2021 and 2022, according to Curbed.

Q: C# TreeViewAdv get selected node's value I am using syncfusion's TreeViewAdv in multi column mode.
I am trying to get the selected node's value (from the first column) but I have not been successful.
Has anyone been able to do this?
Many thanks

A quick update on how I am populating the control

                }
                else
                {
                    dataParentNode = new ColumnNode(name.ToString(), "Data / Value", details.ToString());
                    dataRootNode.Nodes.Add(dataParentNode);

        NodeTextBox ntb = new NodeTextBox();
        ntb.DataPropertyName = "Text";
        this.treeViewAdv1.NodeControls.Add(ntb);
        treeViewAdv1.EndUpdate();
    }

I spent some time looking at the TreeViewAdv sample project. Specifically I looked the "FolderBrowser.cs" winform which did have the below NodeMouseDoubleClick event. This correctly wrote the node tot he console.
        private void _treeView_NodeMouseDoubleClick(object sender, TreeNodeAdvMouseEventArgs e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(e.Node);
    }

If I use exactly the same event then my e.Node = "" although my node is fully populated.

George Harbin (c.1665-1744) was an English clergyman, a nonjuror and significant political writer.

Life
He graduated B.A. at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, in 1686, took holy orders, and became chaplain to Francis Turner, Bishop of Ely. At the Glorious Revolution he followed Turner by refusing to take the oaths to the new rulers.

After Turner's death he became chaplain and librarian to Thomas Thynne, 1st Viscount Weymouth. He was an intimate friend of Bishop Thomas Ken.

Works
Harbin was the author of the following works:

 The English Constitution fully stated, with some Animadversions on Mr. Higden's Mistakes about it. In a Letter to a Friend, London, 1710. Against William Higden.
 The Hereditary Right of the Crown of England Asserted: The History of the Succession since the Conquest Clear'd: And the True English Constitution Vindicated from the Misrepresentations of Dr. Higden's "View and Defence," &c., London, 1713. This work was wrongly attributed to Hilkiah Bedford, who was fined and imprisoned for three years as its author. There was a preface by Theophilus Downes, who admitted he drew on Robert Brady.

Harbin also wrote an epitaph on Sir Isaac Newton, and assisted Michael Maittaire in his Commentary on the Oxford Marbles (1732). Letters written by Harbin to Arthur Charlett on literary subjects have been preserved in the Bodleian Library.

Wilde wrote the letter between January and March 1897, close to the end of his imprisonment. Contact had lapsed between Douglas and Wilde and the latter had suffered badly from his close supervision, physical labour and emotional isolation. Nelson, the new prison governor, thought that writing might be more cathartic than prison labour. He was not allowed to send the long letter which he was allowed to write "for medicinal purposes"; each page was taken away when completed, and only at the end could he read it over and make revisions. Nelson gave the long letter to him on his release on 18 May 1897.
In early 1895 Wilde had reached the height of his fame and success with his plays An Ideal Husband and The Importance of Being Earnest. Having refused to lessen contact with Alfred (at the insistence of both men's family members), he was now subject to escalating harassment from Alfred's father, Lord Queensbury. When Wilde returned from holidays after the premieres, he found Queensberry's card at his club with the inscription: "For Oscar Wilde, posing somdomite". Unable to bear further insults and encouraged by Lord Alfred (who wanted to attack his father in every possible way), Wilde sued Queensberry for criminal libel. Wilde withdrew his claim as the defence began but the Judge deemed that Queensberry's accusation was justified. The Crown promptly issued a warrant for his arrest and he was charged with gross indecency with other men under the Labouchere Amendment in April 1895. The trial was the centre of public discussion as details of Wilde's consorts became known. Wilde refused to admit wrongdoing and the jury were unable to reach a verdict. At the retrial Wilde was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, to be held to hard labour. Whilst in prison he collapsed from poor health and burst his right eardrum, an injury that would later contribute to his death.
Lord Alfred sounds like a nightmare boyfriend - the peak of self- indulgence and cowardice: a social climbing, sentimental waste of time. Nonetheless he provided Wilde with the most acute and powerful emotional focus through which the book was written, even if only in resistance to him or in an effort to overcome the illusory affection he'd used to ensnare Wilde's better judgement. A familiar dynamic.


If anyone is still awake, in Kusadasi now, wanted to go to Tire market tomorrow, but just been tyold by a waiter it will not be on, something about a festival everyone celebrates. If true, bugger, had our hearts on going. Is it vworth a visit without the market?? How about Aydin, is that worth a visit?
Sorry Natalie- it's Bayram Seker - the Muslim Christmas effectively - so you're out of luck this week- I don't know about next week - you might be ok then. Most government offices banks etc are shut for the next three days at least- this year the holiday has been extended to nine days but I don't know if things will shut for nine days. The Tuesday market in kusadasi was held in a small modified form today instead of tomorrow - but the Wednesday and Friday market are going ahead as normal - probably not as many stalls though. There are many antiquities and ancient sites dotted though tire which, if you're interested, are well worth seeing and better able to be seen without the market. As for Aydin- have only passed through but it's a long way to go on a dolmus in this heat on spec.
We went to Tire market last year and loved it. Lots of side streets with loads and loads of stalls selling everything.
You will find clothes and bags and handcrafts.
The clothes are cheaper than they are in tourist resorts, but they are the sorts of things the local people buy, not aimed for the tourist market.
The oya (needle lace) and other handmade items are truly superb. You will also find felt made by traditional methods (in some startlingly modern designs).
Tire market is amazing ..............and so is the Kofte!
Yes... adore Tire kofte ... we have it at home but sure its nicer on the spot!

Elevation Data
Orthorectification
New 3D Digital Elevation Models Commercially Available for Seven Additional States under Intermap's Countrywide U.S. Mapping Program
Entire State coverage of Louisiana, Maine, New Mexico, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, and Texas recently added to the Company's NEXTMap USA Data Store
DENVER & San Antonio, TX (November 16, 2009) - Intermap Technologies, a leading worldwide 3D digital mapping company, today announced at the ASPRS / MAPPS 2009 Specialty Conference that high-resolution digital elevation models and images for the entire states of Louisiana, Maine, New Mexico, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, and Texas are commercially available. Collected as part of Intermap's NEXTMap USA nationwide mapping program, scheduled for completion by June 30, 2010, these datasets join other complete statewide coverage of Arizona, California, Florida, and Mississippi, along with partial state coverage areas — all of which are immediately available for purchase and include approximately 80% of the U.S.
"The availability of this data signals a fundamental shift for any organization needing access to reliable 3D mapping data," said Kevin Thomas, Intermap's vice president of marketing. "Gone are the days of having to accept the inaccuracies of SRTM or USGS data because it's the only data that's available, or paying exorbitant prices for inconsistent LiDAR data. NEXTMap's wide area coverage and accuracy now sets the new standard for geospatial base maps across the U.S. and Europe."
Data collected as part of Intermap's combined NEXTMap USA and Europe programs — border-to-border data for all of Western Europe is already on the shelf — continues to enable a wide variety of geospatial applications and prototyping endeavors for government and enterprise entities worldwide. Applications include, but are not limited to, route and site selection, cell tower placement, microwave link planning, transportation safety and fuel efficiency, water resource management, engineering planning, and 3D visualization.
Intermap's NEXTMap database includes digital surface models (DSMs) that include cultural features such as vegetation, buildings, and roads; digital terrain models (DTMs) with all cultural features digitally removed; and orthorectified radar images (ORIs) that accentuate topographic features — all with a vertical accuracy of 1 meter or better. The Company has also created value-added products such as contours, 3D road centerline geometries, and other high-resolution geospatial products as part of the program. NEXTMap data is currently available through the Company's direct sales team, online via www.TerrainOnDemand.com, or through Intermap's worldwide partner network.

Chronic stress triggered by the Hypothalamus send distress signals to the body- racing heart, short on breath, high blood pressure and an inhibition of the "rest and digest" system, which means that our normal functions are put on hold. Close second is sitting. We spend so much time sitting that it has become an epidemic. Shortening of the hip flexors, tightening of back and hamstrings, squashed and inhibited internal organs, short breathing contributing to oxygen loss. What are we doing to our bodies? There really is nothing more precious than your health, you are worth investing time and effort into. Invest in gaining mastery of your mind and body. Let me show you how.

Self-licensing is the best option open to financial advisers, but is still more burdensome than it needs to be.
When FSR was implemented in 2004, the institutional dealer I was licensed under decided (in their wisdom) to extend the data gathering process to a 37-page form.
They also reduced the approved product list to very few useable products in the retirement space (those manufactured in-house of course) and pigeon hole people with poorly thought out risk questions to ensure just about everybody was a "balanced investor".
This simple 'tick the box' approach necessitated 50-75 per cent of retiree assets placed on the one day to share markets at what was increasingly evident to be inappropriate.
On reading the ASIC regulatory guides (especially RG90) it was evident that ASIC required advice to retail customers to be "clear, concise, fair and effective".
Advice that had a reasonable basis was not that onerous in theory, but it was incredibly difficult to deliver within a large licensee catering for the lowest common denominator, coupled with a fair slice of product nepotism.
There were plenty of issues to deal with.
First there was the 'we own the customer' issue I faced when resigning from the dealer group I was a member of. There was also cash flow interruption and the loss of 'Buyer of Last Resort'.
Then there is the fear of vexatious reputational damage and burden of professional indemnity insurance, which might have been better in a larger group where we could share the premiums.
But after a six-month embargo, service as an adviser was resumed, cash-flows were re-established as was client facing documentation that adhered to the actual rules and also the spirit and intent of what ASIC and many others were trying to achieve. In the end, it was worth it.
So maybe it is time to roll out this model more widely and make it easier for self-licensing to occur.
Maybe it is also time to rethink the idea of product manufacturer as licensee. You wouldn't put Dracula in charge of the blood bank after all.
It is understandable that ASIC would want to wield a big stick to a thousand licensee representatives with one blow as opposed to substantial resources chasing thousands of licensees.
But the ability to advise the general public by listed corporations comes with collateral damage. Pressure of shareholder returns will always be paramount. Therefore removing AFSLs from listed corporations ultimately should occur, albeit with plenty of notice.
With the professionalisation of the industry, ASIC and the government should make the process of self or small group licensing less onerous.
Achieving independence, trust will be regained and leads will surely flow. There should be no compelling reason to restrict a cabal of like-minded, educated advisers obtaining an AFSL.
The future looks good for independent advisers.


Liverpool moved back into the top four with a convincing victory over Arsenal at Anfield.
Goals from Firmino, Mane and a late strike from Wijnaldum ensured the reds moved on to 52 points in the Premier League.
Just the one change for Liverpool with Ragnar Klavan back to full fitness he returned to the starting line-up to replace Lucas Leiva in the heart of the reds defence.
Dejan Lovren returned to training 48 hours ago and was only deemed fit enough for the bench.
For Arsenal, Mezut Ozil was out and Alexis Sanchez started on the bench which gave Liverpool fans some pre-match hope.
The reds started brightly, with Arsenal seemingly reliant on a 'find Giroud' strategy.
Liverpool themselves were looking to move the ball quicker - with Can and Wijnaldum eagerly looking to find Mane or Coutinho either side of the more central Roberto Firmino.
And it was the reds who struck first in the 9th minute. From a goal kick the ball made it's way quickly upfield. Mane tried a shot from the corner of the box which Coutinho dummied allowing Firmino to fire in.
Liverpool's second goal was more finely tuned. From down the left wing the ball was cooly collected by Firmino - he square a beautiful ball across the area into the space of Sadio Mane who fired past Petr Cech.
Second half and a quick change from Arsenal - Alexis Sanchez on and his impact was immediate. Arsenal looked more fluid and dangerous.
Mignolet was called into action to tip a Giroud header over the bar but the danger was mounting.
10 minutes into the half Welbeck had dragged Arsenal back in with a chance. Sanchez cutting in and finding Welbeck who dinked it over Mignolet who rushed out prematurely. 2-1.
It looked like Arsenal may run away with it, and they brought Walcott and Lucas Perez on to increase the pressure as they searched for the equaliser.
But the reds held firm - a better central defensive display with Ragnar Klavan looking a far superior option at the back to Lucas Leiva.
And in the 90th minute Georginio Wijnaldum ensured all three points would be ours when he was the final recipient of a quick Liverpool counter attack and drilled the ball into the Kop goal.
Liverpool move three points clear of 6th placed Manchester United but now must build on this with Burnley set to visit Anfield next weekend.
oh the frustrations of being a Liverpool fan this season. A roller coaster indeed!
LOL @ arsenal…. will lose 3-1 to Munich later this week at home….


On-Topic I just got a couple more games and the final "currently anyway" Hyrule Warriors Wii U DLC! Here's my haul!
Hyrule Warriors: Twilight Princess Pack.
What do you guys think of my latest haul?
Target currently has this on sale for a mere $10 (normally $25 in Australia), and a staff member at EB Games was more than happy to match that price. I wonder if I'll find any residents I don't currently own in the free booster pack (I have 22 different animals with only two duplicates)!
It even has the original operator's manual with it!

Top five weird saints in the Catholic church
I've been visiting the shrines of some weird saints over the summer.
The stories, legends and myths attaching to these holy people can often be rather weird. Strange tales of how they were martyred in a gruesome fashion. At the shrines, you can find their entire body or a bone or a piece of cloth. Let's look at some of the weird saints I encountered!
Saint Cassian is the oddest account of a martyrdom. A Christian in the Roman Empire who was teaching pagan children. This was during the reign of Julian the Apostate – who tried to turn the empire back to paganism after three decades of emperors who had converted to Christianity.
Cassian refused to sacrifice to the Roman gods and his punishment was to be turned over to his own pupils who were told to kill him with their pens and clay tablets. This took a while by all accounts – but Cassian urged them on desiring to die for his faith!
Cassian takes a while to die
Saint Apollonia is said to have been martyred during a riot in Alexandria under the reign of the Roman emperor Philip. Before her death, it's said she had her teeth pulled out. And so rather ghoulishly, she is depicted holding a pair of pliers with a tooth in its grip. Yuck!
Wilhelm Borremans, Saint Apollonia, 1717
There's many horrible ways to die but being grilled is probably the worst. Saint Lawrence is often depicted holding what looks like an iron bed mattress but it's actually the metal grid to which he was tied and cooked.
Saint Lawrence and his grid
FIND OUT MORE: Why were bodies de-fleshed in the Middle Ages?
Here's the body of Saint Justina – a virgin woman from Padua in Italy. She converted to Christianity at a time when the Roman Empire was still pagan. The emperor Maximian himself tried to make her reject Christ but she refused. So she was martyred with a sword – which she holds close to her breast. Somehow, her body made it from Italy to Portugal and here it is…
Saint Justina – possibly!
And then there's Bartholomew the apostle of Christ. He is said to have journeyed to India to convert people to Christianity but then came to grief in Armenia. There, he was executed by being skinned alive. Sometimes he's also being crucified upside down at the same time. The depictions of him and his skin can be rather odd.

The elementary school in Neustadt/Wied has a new cafeteria reached via a bright, welcoming hallway with brilliant green vinyl flooring. Inside, windows open onto the view of the expansive, green, Wied Valley.
The elementary school is a place where children grow intellectually and physically. "…sprouting grass" has been chosen as an expression of this growth. Grass exemplifies gradual, yet rapid growth, freshness and a certain liveliness, "reaching toward the sky". In an area of grass, each individual blade is as important as are all of the blades combined. In the elementary school these aspects receive an appropriate acknowledgment.
The over life-size, green blades of grass are personified by subtly shimmering latex colors. The children experience their surroundings amid bright and darker hued greens which create a deep image space connecting the interior space with the surrounding nature and in doing so, bring the exterior into the interior space. A background of sky is painted a delicate light blue providing a profound contrast with the "…sprouting grass".


It's new potato season and my default setting is steamed with heaps of butter and a bit of salt. But there's so many other ways to eat these tender tasty beauties. One of my favourites is Hasselback Potatoes which look so impressive but are incredibly simple. I can't believe I wrote that recipe 5 years ago so it's time to do something a little different.
I was in town (what we call Dublin's city centre) recently and spied some Italian new potatoes in Fallon and Byrne so they had to go into my basket. Italian potatoes deserved a suitably appropriate recipe so I took advantage of a huge chunk of Parmesan, generously bequeathed to me by Little Sis and created a delicious side dish for Saturday night's dinner.

Leaving Little Italy explores the various forces that have shaped and continue to mold Italian American culture. Early chapters offer a historical survey of major developments in Italian American culture, from the early mass immigration period to the present day, situating these developments within the larger framework of American culture as a whole. Subsequent chapters examine particular works of Italian American literature and film from a variety of perspectives, including literary history, gender, social class, autobiography, and race. Paying particular attention to how the individual artist's personality has intersected with community in the shaping of Italian American culture, the book reveals how and why Italian America was invented and why Little Italys must ultimately disappear.
Fred L. Gardaphe directs the American and Italian/American Studies Programs at Stony Brook University, State University of New York. He is the author and editor of many books, including Italian Signs, American Streets: The Evolution of Italian American Narrative; Dagoes Read: Tradition and the Italian/American Writer; and From the Margin: Writings in Italian Americana.

Iranian commander: Our missiles can hit carriers in the sea
Commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps claims Iran's ballistic missiles have changed the balance of power.
Elad Benari, 19/06/19 04:12
Hossein Salami
The commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps, Brigadier General Hossein Salami, claimed on Tuesday that Iran's ballistic missiles were capable of hitting "carriers in the sea" with great precision, Reuters reported.
"These missiles can hit with great precision carriers in the sea ... These missiles are domestically produced and are difficult to intercept and hit with other missiles," Salami said in a televised speech.
He added that Iran's ballistic missile technology had changed the balance of power in the Middle East.
Salami's comments follow last week's attacks on two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman last week which the US said were carried out by Iran.
Iran's ballistic missile program remains a source of concern for the West and was one of the reasons cited by US President Donald Trump when he withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal with major powers.
Iran has carried out several ballistic missiles over the past several years. In February, Iran attempted to launch a satellite into space but failed when the satellite failed to reach orbit.
The US says that Iran's ballistic missile tests are a violation of UN Security Council resolution 2231, which enshrined Iran's 2015 nuclear deal with Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States.
The resolution says Iran is "called upon" to refrain for up to eight years from work on ballistic missiles designed to deliver nuclear weapons.
Iran, however, denies its ballistic missile tests violate this resolution. President Hassan Rouhani has stressed in the past that Iran will continue to produce missiles for its defense and does not consider that a violation of international agreements.
Salami is one of several Iranian officials who regularly threaten both the US and Israel. Last month, he claimed that Iran's "absolute power" in its region has sapped the capacity of the United States to wage war against it.
He previously warned that Iran is "on the cusp of a full-scale confrontation with the enemy."

MainStreaming raises $6 million to improve online game broadcasts

MainStreaming raised $6 million in funding to broadcast online games and other programming in the U.S. and Europe. The company will use the money to enhance its presence in the online gaming market.
Indaco Ventures led the round, with participation from Sony Innovation Fund and existing investor United Ventures.
Based in Milan, Italy, MainStreaming is a tech provider enabling broadcasters, media, and enterprise companies to deliver online streaming experiences globally.
"The online video industry is facing increasing pressure from customers, with broadcasters and online gaming providers facing particular challenges to ensure a consistent, high quality of service, particularly in live environments," said Antonio Corrado, CEO at MainStreaming, in a statement. "With our technology specifically built for today's streaming environment, MainStreaming is perfectly situated to offer broadcasters and online gaming providers the tools to deliver the highest quality of experience to their customers around the world. This latest investment will enable us to reinforce our position in the market and expand our reach across two priority regions, Europe and the United States."
MainStreaming will use the funds to enhance its position in its two core markets, broadcast and online gaming, and enable its customers to meet the ever-growing demand for streaming and seamless gaming interactivity over the internet.
The company's proprietary and disruptive technology enables broadcasters to stream live and on-demand and compete with major providers, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Hulu. MainStreaming's solution is being used by broadcasters, including Sky Italia, which uses the service to stream premium live, linear, and on-demand content.
MainStreaming will also be using the investment to support its expansion into cloud-based gaming via its HyperNode solution. Indaco will help MainStreaming expand internationally.
"We are excited by the technology and the team at MainStreaming," said Alvise Bonivento, investment director of Indaco Venture Partners, in a statement. "Our goal is to provide the tools it needs to compete at an international level, leading the disruption and digital transformation of traditional markets."
Sony's participation through its venture capital arm in this funding round, represents its first investment in an Italian company.
"We're excited to join the MainStreaming family, and we have great confidence in the MainStreaming team and technology," said Gen Tsuchikawa, chief investment officer of Sony Innovation Fund, in a statement. "It was the obvious choice in a world where consumer expectations around video quality and interactivity are of critical importance."
To date, MainStreaming has raised $10 million.
