- 64-bit capability is a must.
- Besides the main chipset model, a motherboard has many components. Every component itself may or may not be compatible with Mac OS X. Also, BIOS of the motherboard may be problematic for this OS. Because of these reasons, some motherboards will not be able to run this OS easily, they might need hard efforts in order you to make it work and some of them will never run it. Search google and try it on your computer. If a hardware is compatible with OSX86, then it is compatible with iATKOS, simple as this.

Most of the supported chips will work but some of them will need a bit more effort.
- NVIDIA graphics chips from G80 core to the newest Maxwell series are supported on 10.11.x. This does not mean that all of them will work but most of them will work with iATKOS EC.
Simply, NVIDIA 8xxx / 9xxx / 1xx / 2xx / 3xx / 4xx / 5xx / 6xx / 7xx / 8xx / 9xx, TI series and many Quadro cards are supported.
>> Optimus technology (which is used on some of Intel/NVIDIA dual gpu laptop computers) is not supported by Mac OS X.
Apple computers use a different method for graphics switching. If you have the setting on your Optimus Laptop's BIOS menu to turn off Optimus, then you might have a chance to make your NVIDIA Mobile work. Otherwise you will have to use your Intel Graphics.
PS: Do not underestimate the power of Intel HD 3000/4000/5000/6000/5xx series graphics, they can beat most of the NVIDIA/ATI mobility, NVIDIA/ATI Mobility gpus are overrated.
- About ATI, Mac OS X 10.11.x and Clover bootloader gives us more hope and less pain about ATI support.
Simply, ATI 7xxx/6xxx/5xxx/4xxx R7/R9 chipsets are supported but of course still more pain and less success comparing with nvidia.
iATKOS EC has some options for ATI's including automated fake device_id generation and framebuffer override packages to make more of the ATI cards work with less pain. Still, many of the users may have to take some additional steps to use their ATI cards after installation.
- Common wired and wireless network devices that are auto-detected by iATKOS EC.
There are incompatible/problematic chips but most of them will work OOB with iATKOS EC.
Wireless: Some chips (ie. Atheros AR5008, AR9280, AR9380, Broadcom BCM4311) are natively supported by OS X. So, this is not the complete wifi support list of OS X, this is the additional support list.
>> Intel wireless ethernet chips are incompatible with OS X, you can not use them on any version of OS X. You need to change it with a compatible Wi-Fi card.
>> Realtek and Ralink wireless ethernets can not be used as Airport Wi-Fi, therefore they are not supported by main iATKOS EC installation.
Some of the Ralink and Realtek Wi-Fi cards can work as wireless ethernet with 3rd party software which you can search on the manifacturers' websites.
- Sound device is auto-detected by iATKOS EC and nearly all of the onboard sound devices are supported.
- Recommended minimum amount of disk space for installation is 20GB.
Mostly, compatibility of a hardware can be defined by its chipset and device id, but this is not a rule. Motherboards/VGA cards/other computers parts with same chipsets and device ids of different brands may have differences that can result with incompatibility.
Therefore > Search and read before asking "Will iATKOS EC work on this hardware/computer?"
If a hardware is absolutely not compatible with OSX86 10.11.x (i.e. Broadcom BCM4313, Atheros AR5007, etc.), then it is also not compatible with iATKOS EC.
You may also see our example installations, visit Wiki HCL pages and other OSX86 platforms for feedbacks.
Do not forget that choosing hardware is your risk.

PA 116, the Michigan Farmland and Open Space Preservation Act, is a law that works to preserve farmland by offering incentives to farmers who are willing to participate. According to the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, the law, which was passed in 1974, allows a farm landowner to enter into an agreement with the state that ensures that the land remain in agricultural use for a minimum of 10 years and up to 90 years. In return, the farm owner may be entitled to income tax benefits and exemption from special assessments on the land. Today, 3.3 million acres of land in Michigan is protected under this program.
Farms that have been designated as specialty farms by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and are at least 15 acres in size and have a gross annual income of more than $2,000.
To learn more about program eligibility, visit the MDARD Farmland and Open Space Preservation Act website or review the MDARD Farmland Agreements Enrollment, Eligibility & Benefits brochure online.
There are two main benefits to farmers who enroll in this program. The first is the possibility of receiving refundable income tax credits on Michigan Income Taxes. The credit that a farm owner receives is dependent on both their real estate and income taxes of a given year. MDARD uses the example of a farmer who has household income of $20,000 a year (as defined by the MI CR5) with real estate taxes on the farm being $2,000. 3.5 percent of income taxes are then subtracted from the farmer's payment of real estate taxes to determine the tax credit, which is $2,000 minus $700, so the tax credit that the farm owner may be eligible to receive is $1,300. This tax incentive encourages farmers to preserve their land for agricultural use and provides compensation for this preservation of land.
Additionally, lands that are enrolled in the PA 116 program are "not subject to special assessments for sanitary sewer, water, lights or non-farm drain projects," according to MDARD. This can help farmers save money by not requiring them to pay for assessments that would normally be required. The only exception to this is if assessments were imposed before the agreement was enacted.
Check to make sure that your farm is eligible for the program. Refer to the requirements listed above.
Fill out and submit this application to your local governing body. This could be a city or village, the township if it has adopted its own zoning ordinance, or the county if the township has not adopted its own zoning ordinance. To be eligible for tax credits, the application must be submitted and approved by the local governing body by November 1.
While this program can be very helpful to farmers, and especially to those that are just starting out, program participants should be aware that there are consequences if they should choose to end their agreement. The agreement is initially set for 10 to 90 years and can be renewed for a minimum of seven or more years up to a total of 90 years. However, if the farmer or landowner decides to let the agreement expire, he or she must pay back the tax credits received in the previous seven years. The authors of this article believe this is a common misconception for farmers, as some may misinterpret that they do not have to repay the tax credits if they do not terminate the agreement. The rules are the same whether the agreement is ended early or if the agreement expires.
Some farmers plan ahead and do not accept the tax credits for seven years prior to when their agreement is set to expire if they wish to allow the agreement expire without a repayment. It is possible to terminate all or a portion of the Farmland Agreement prior to the expiration of the agreement if the landowner meets one or more of the requirements for early release. Typically a land owner must repay the tax credits received during the last seven years of the agreement plus a 6% interest penalty. The amount to be repaid may vary depending on whether all or part of the agreement is being terminated or if the basis for requesting release from the program is death of disability. Refer to the MDARD Farmland Agreements, Transferring, Splitting & Releasing brochure for more information about repayment and termination of agreements.

The reason for painting glass was to totally focus on light, and the glass held the light.
- Janet Fish, 1988
DC Moore Gallery is pleased to present Janet Fish: Glass & Plastic, The Early Years, 1968-1978. Drawn primarily from private collections, this major exhibition of Fish's early work underscores her foundational engagement with just two materials: glass and plastic. The catalogue accompanying the exhibition features excerpts from Fish's 1988 oral history interview for the Archives of American Art. The previously unpublished text illuminates her aims and concerns as a young painter.
Janet Fish has revitalized the traditional genre of still life with an expansive body of work that revels in the formal and conceptual possibilities of surprising combinations of objects seen in changing lights. Her innovative career began in the 1960s and 1970s, when she set herself the challenge of capturing the interactions of light with glass and plastic. The resulting large-scale paintings explore color, composition, and mark making through the representation of surfaces at once reflective and transparent, material and immaterial, mundane and magical. Fish's unique approach to still life, or nature morte, rethinks these very terms. She explains, "It's really as much painting life as anything else …. because it's not dead. Things aren't dead. The light is through everything and energy through everything."
After graduating from Yale University with an MFA in 1963, Fish moved to New York City, where her painting progressed in dialogue with that of her Pop Art, Minimalist, and "New Realist" contemporaries while remaining resolutely fixed on her immediate surroundings. In the late 1960s, she painted a series of fruit tightly packaged in shiny cellophane. In works like Majorska Vodka (1971) and Three Honey Jars (1975), Fish created patterns of light and color out of the contents and lettered labels of oversized bottles and jars. She then began focusing on increasingly complex permutations of overlapping glassware. The work of the mid 1970s, such as Afternoon Reflections, June and September (1978), incorporates references to specific seasons and settings, pointing toward Fish's later landscapes and vibrant still lifes.
Born in Boston in 1938, Janet Fish grew up in Bermuda and now lives in New York and Vermont. Her paintings are included in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago; Dallas Museum of Art; Detroit Institute of Arts; Metropolitan Museum of Art; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; and Whitney Museum of American Art, among many others.

Everyone starts his/her business in a great motivation to change the scenario of the business to lead the world in a particular field.
But 90% of the Start-up fails in the 1st year itself as the ratio is 9/10 which means 9 out of 10 start-ups always fails.
Have you ever imagined why motivation, desires, and dreams fade away within the 1st year of business that entrepreneurs become induced shut their business down?
This all happens because 85%-90% of entrepreneurs have never faced tough situations in their personal lives, and they have not even imagined about the worst scenarios.
And as they get the 1st slap of entrepreneurial hardship they start crying.
In starting 99% of the Entrepreneur are not good students of Future Analytics, so it is impossible for them to Judge the exact expenses which are going to take place in the future.
Every 1st timer makes 60-70% Right Calculation about the expenses but remaining 30%-40% are those expenses which only an experienced and expert person of the field can tell.
As I have already mentioned 99% start-ups initiate with a wage presentation i.e. if they cover 1% Market, they will be a billionaire, but in an actual condition, you have to start covering the market city-wise not country-wise directly.
Without specifying target market specifically, people start their business and as the result, they fail.
Most of the time we choose co-founder from our friend circle with whom we have personal trust, but those people are not so much classified and we have never been in a professional career with them. So as the stress builds-up we start behaving personally with them not as professionally which is a great loss to the business and sometimes professional dispute leads to change in personal behaviour and that leads to the derailment of personal relations and thus break down of partnership too.
When we start our business, 99.9% of people don't even think about this. Though this point doesn't apply to all the fields but this fact is very important to those fields where it is applicable.
In real-estate, we completed many sales which were enough to keep us alive in the market but clients were not giving the payments on time, Some of the payments haven't been received by me till date and it's been 1 Year that I closed my company and 2 Years when I completed the sales.
We draw the plans on paper but never check them on reality, which leads to many problems on the real ground. It's very similar to those school days when we revise Mathematical Calculations in our mind without solving them on Paper, and during exams, we get stuck somewhere between the Calculation.
So it's always better to work on Prototype instead of Business Plan Presentations.
Most of the entrepreneurs build a team of their friend circle, and if I get more specific then it will be from classmates or office mates. That clearly indicates that most of the time their working field is same, either all from sales, or all from production or all from quality etc.
Whenever this happens, your business will surely break down very soon because a business requires all the fields to operate properly.
Right Location on Right Time is always needed for better performance. Every Business is closely related to Real Estate Business that is Location of Your Business.
Initially, I had taken my office into a corporate building just to flaunt in front of the clients but soon I realized that my competitors who are having normal and small offices but on the main road location are getting a decent number of walk-in clients. They were generating good revenue without investing even a penny on the marketing. So I changed my office within 6 months to a good location.
So always finalise Your Office Location after checking all the conditions related to your business.
This usually happens when you have made at least 4 mistakes from above 7 mistakes and you get fed-up from your decision and start cursing yourself for the decision which you had made in your life to start the business.
99% of the people usually scroll down after looking this word. I know this is a common point but the problem is that we only hear this point and we take it so casually that we never try to understand it.
But it is the most important point which we should focus on.
Ultimately, it is your business and you are not answerable to anyone for anything.
No one will scold you for any trivial reason.
No one will question you on your dress sense.
You are the only one who has to take care of everything and that too yourself. And I would say 99% of world's population lack this point.
So work hard at this point and get self-discipline.
What if Market Condition Goes Against You?
Keep you treasury saved for such situations.
Reduce liabilities to 50%-70% by utilising your maximum brain.
Stop behaving like a founder or CEO, get into the field to help the team.
I hope my points will surely help you in preparing you for your journey. And if you have faced some different situations in your business career then do share in the comments to let the people know. Let's help each other in the journey of entrepreneurship by sharing our experiences.

The War on Yemen and the Administration's "Gnawing Concerns"
Rod Waddington/Flickr
Daniel Benjamin comments on the state of the U.S.-Saudi relationship. Here he talks about the war on Yemen:
In Yemen, the Saudi campaign against the Houthi insurgents has become the signature initiative for Riyadh's new and emboldened foreign policy. The United States has voiced hedged support for the Saudi effort — primarily an effort at alliance maintenance, which was a necessity against the backdrop of the nuclear negotiations.
But behind the scenes, Washington has gnawing concerns about the Saudi war effort [bold mine-DL]. The bombing runs are killing civilians in appalling numbers, and a country that hovers on desperation has been plunged into a humanitarian disaster. The United States is trying to refine Saudi targeting, but the carnage remains ghastly, and the Saudi claim that the Houthis are nothing more than an Iranian proxy has also worn thin.
Benjamin makes some good points in the article, but I have to question the assumption that U.S. support for the war was ever a "necessity" for maintaining the relationship or for the sake of the nuclear deal. The Saudis have not always supported every U.S. intervention, and in some cases they have been very much opposed, but the relationship remained intact. A client isn't obliged to endorse everything that its patron does, nor is a patron obliged to support every policy that its client pursues. If the Saudis didn't approve of making a nuclear deal, that wouldn't have derailed the negotiations. The U.S. didn't have to back the Saudi intervention in Yemen. The administration chose to do this when it was not obliged to, and it was a terrible decision.
As I said earlier in the week, it is hard to take these "gnawing concerns" seriously. If the U.S. were so concerned about the effects of the bombing campaign, it could either cut back on the assistance it is providing or it could publicly criticize the targeting of civilian areas. Helping the Saudis to "refine" their targeting is not very useful when it seems plain enough that the Saudis have been deliberately targeting civilian areas for months, which is why the civilian casualties from the campaign are so high. These repeated anonymous professions of worry and concern come across too much as a belated and increasingly desperate attempt to disavow the consequences of a war that the administration foolishly joined without considering the risks and costs. The administration wants credit from the Saudis by enabling the war, but it doesn't want to be held responsible for the horrific effects that the war is having on Yemeni civilians, and so we get these behind-the-scenes laments that change nothing.
It's good that "the Saudi claim that the Houthis are nothing more than an Iranian proxy has also worn thin," but then it should never have been taken seriously and indulged in the first place. This was a piece of Saudi propaganda used to sell their war, and it should have been obvious to our government that it wasn't a credible claim. Unfortunately, they were too preoccupied trying to "reassure" our despotic clients that they went along with it when it mattered most.

Duvet Divulge – Hitman 3
Agent 47 has been via so much. Over the process twenty years, this bizarre cipher of a person has traveled from the Romanian lab the place he was once engineered on a globe-trotting adventure of, neatly, assassination. Hitman Three marks the tip of IO Interactive's International of Assassination trilogy, and we have been lucky sufficient so that you can play via a lot of the sport's conclusion. Whether or not you're a loyal fan of the collection or somebody who simply loves to throw rubber duckies at guards, we've were given one thing for you in our in depth 14-page quilt tale. It's according to hours of arms on from 3 of the sport's six ranges, in addition to in-depth interviews with one of the most proficient builders who made all of it conceivable.
We've were given a slew of details about a few of Hitman 3's new ranges, together with an explosive opening in Dubai worthy of a summer time blockbuster, in addition to a methodically paced homicide thriller in England, the place you get to if truth be told examine and clear up a case. There's lots to unpack, so get in a position to put aside a while for this large characteristic.
Agent 47's journey isn't the one factor that's coming to an in depth. We're nearing the tip of 2020 (excellent riddance!), and we take an intensive glance again on the 12 months and the video games that it introduced. Along with that includes our Best 10 Video games of 2020 checklist, we ruin down the massive occasions that came about over the process the previous 12 months. There was once so much to procedure, from console launches to the most obvious international results of COVID-19, and affiliate editor Blake Hester runs down the highlights in a four-page characteristic. That's capped off with a large recap of the most efficient and brightest video games of the 12 months, damaged down by means of best-in-genre classes and highlighted alternatives that decision out the video games that for my part resonated with Sport Informer editors. And after all, we've got our conventional editor most sensible 10 lists, so you'll be able to see how our alternatives align – or don't – with your personal non-public favorites.
That's along with different options, corresponding to Liana Ruppert's have a look at the tech in the back of Bloober Group's The Medium; Matt Miller's roundup of the 12 months's ideal tabletop video games; and Blake Hester's interview with Paul W.S. Anderson in regards to the Monster Hunter film. And, in fact, the Hitman Three factor is stuffed with recreation previews, critiques, and different unique information that you just received't to find any place else.

High school basketball season expanded to 22 games
Contributed | December 4, 2012
The high school basketball season will contain more games thanks to a decision made by the Ohio High School Athletic Association Board of Directors.
By a 5-4 vote, the board approved a proposal from the Ohio High School Basketball Coaches Association to allow member schools to play up to 22 regular-season basketball games beginning this season.
The additional games will not mean an extension to the season, however. The boy's season began Nov. 30 with sectional tournament play starting the week of Feb. 18, 2013. Girls play started Nov. 23 and sectionals start Feb. 11, 2013.
"I wasn't a fan of it as a coach but we're doing it," said Ridgewood's Alan Keesee, who also serves as the district's athletics director. "As an A.D., you like it because there is a chance for one or two more games and that translates into some added revenue.
"I don't care for the fact that they're not lengthening the season at the end of the year and I don't like having to play three games in a week. I've never been a fan of Friday and Saturday games but I know a lot of coaches love it.
"You talk to the old-school guys and they'll tell you that's how they did it but in terms of preparation, it's hard because you're playing teams on back-to-back nights. As coach, if they were going to extend the season, I'd be all for a 22-game season."
Coshocton High School boys basketball coach Tom Hilgenberg has a differing point of view.
"I think the 22 games are okay. I like the two extra games because I'd rather play than practice but I also think the season lasts too long," he said. "It's just a matter of opinion but I feel the regular season should be over at the end of January.
"The season is long enough. There's a time in January where it becomes grind. You have to get real creative for about week and a half."
Hilgenberg believes the driving force behind the expansion was so schools could travel out of state for games that showcased their teams and/or players.
According to WTNS-Radio Sports Director, Tom Thompson, the last time the number of games was increased came in the 1979-80 season, going from an 18-game schedule to 20.
Thompson added that WTNS also stands to benefit from the expansion from a revenue standpoint.
"We've added five games to our broadcast schedule," he said.
That also opens the door for area high schools to add an attractive game package.
"Maybe down the road we'll try to do some things with it like a holiday tournament or something like that," Keesee said.
In another note of interest, the implementation of a shot clock was shot down in Ohio.
Although a shot clock has been employed at the college level for many years, results of a questionnaire that is sent to coaches, officials and state association administrators across the country did not indicate a strong desire to use the clock at the high school level.
"In addition to the fact that there is some concern about the costs associated with the use of a shot clock, the committee also expressed a belief that the game is typically played with an up-tempo style even without a shot clock," said Kent Summers, director of performing arts and sports at the NFHS.
"In addition, the committee believes that coaches should have the option of a slower-paced game if they believe it makes their team more competitive in specific situations. This could be especially true for smaller schools with limited budgets. Since the NFHS writes rules for all sizes of schools and teams, it has to consider what is best for the masses."
The committee did approve one minor rule change requiring the official scorer to wear a black and white-striped jersey in order to become more visible to the game officials.
According to the NFHS, a 2010-11 High School Athletics Participation Survey found that basketball is the second-most popular sport for girls and third-most popular for boys at the high school level. All told, 438,933 girls and 545,844 boys participated nationwide.
The sport ranks first in school sponsorship of teams with 17,767 schools sponsoring the sport for girls and 18,150 sponsoring the sport for boys.

The Earthsea Books
November Books 26) A Wizard of Earthsea, by Ursula Le Guin
December Books 8) The Tombs of Atuan, by Ursula Le Guin
December Books 9) The Farthest Shore, by Ursula Le Guin
December Books 10) Tehanu, by Ursula Le Guin
December Books 11) Tales from Earthsea, by Ursula Le Guin
December Books 12) The Other Wind, by Ursula Le Guin
Partly inspired by Jo Walton's set of essays (here, here, here, here, here and here) but more by the fact that Tehanu was next on my list of Nebula winners, I have been rereading the six Earthsea books. I strongly recommend this as a little literary project if you want to challenge yourself. The longest book, Tales from Earthsea, is only a little over 300 pages; The Other Wind less than 250 and the first four around 200. Also, you have probably read some of them already. I remember A Wizard of Earthsea on Jackanory when I must have been about eight, with creepy drawings and all; I found The Tombs of Atuan in a school library a couple of years later, and loved it; and I think I was given The Farthest Shore as a present before I was a teenager. But I read the last three as an adult, and one by one over a period of several years; and I don't really recommend that, because despite the sixteen year publication gap between The Farthest Shore and Tehanu, the action follows directly from the one to the other.
I won't go into the detail of the plot, since Jo Walton has done that and you probably already know at least the first book. What struck me this time was the structure of the six books. They fall rather neatly into three trilogies, even though Tales From Earthsea is not a novel but a story collection and despite the close time link between the third and fourth books. The classic Earthsea trilogy, the first three books, are a thing of beauty; three Bildungsromane, the stories of Ged, Tenar and Arren/Lebannen, the latter two guided by Ged; but also with a very dark streak in all three, about the world of death leaking into the world of life – centre stage in the first and third books, and never far out of sight in the second. The images – of dragons and the shadow, of the subterranean labyrinth, and of the dry wall separating life and death – will stay with me all my life. Everyone should read them.
The second trilogy is more problematic. I like and appreciate the structure, where first we return to Ged and Tenar and the injured child, and then we divert into some stories of which the last takes us to the question of women and Roke (and dragons), and finally a grand restructuring of Earthsea to repair the damage done to its fundament by the misbehaving wizards of the first trilogy. But actually these are not really improvements. The urgency and vitality of the first three books – particularly the first two – has been slightly dissipated by a process of reflection, which is interesting and engaging but not fascinating and enthralling in the same way. So anyone reading the six books in order needs to be warned in advance that the first ones are the best. Which is not to say that the later ones are bad.
Having said that none of the books is actually bad, I'm afraid I concluded that Tehanu is much the weakest of the six. It's nice to see what Tenar has been up to for the intervening decades between The Tombs of Atuan and The Farthest Shore but it's not terribly satisfying to see her, a former incarnate goddess, being casually dismissed by her wastrel ex-pirate son. It's nice to see how her relationship with Ged develops, with Tenar as adoptive daughter. But the means and motivation of the bad guys is very poorly explained, certainly compared to the other books; and the abrupt ending comes quite literally out of a clear blue sky, and is a jarring change of pace.
Tehanu won the 1991 Nebula against one book I've read a long time ago and think I liked better at the time though I remember very little about it (Dan Simmons' The Fall of Hyperion) and four books that I not only have not read but have not even heard of (Valerie Martin's Mary Reilly, James Morrow's Only Begotten Daughter, John E. Stith's Redshift Rendezvous and Jane Yolen's White Jenna). The Hugo that year went to Bujold's The Vor Game, likewise a volume I don't particularly rate in a series I generally love.

When I read Tehanu when it first came out, I was so angry with what Tenar's son had done to her. But it is actually a plausible situation – in a society where men inherit everything, her son could just muscle in and take over, even though she's been there and working for how ever long it was. It was almost Austen like (I'm thinking of the start of Sense & Sensibility and the brother's wife talking him out of his responsibility for his sisters) in starkly showing what having no rights means. Also, when you go into the life of having kids and being there for them, people forget you and what skills and ambitions you have before (or am I projecting?)
So I like it a but more now and see more of what it is trying to say. I'd still chose to read Lifelode if I want an honest book with domesticity at its heart. Tehanu feels bitter and sharp.
I believe Mary Reilly is a retelling of The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde from the viewpoint of one of Dr. Jekyll's servants.
papersky says:
I like it too, but it's the sequel to Sister Light, Sister Dark, and doesn't work well out of context.

Samadoubt chasing another Rwick feature
Bjorn Baker cannot fault the free-wheeling Samadoubt ahead of the gelding's quest to win a third feature race at Randwick in as many months.
Samadoubt led all the way to cause a boilover in the Group One Winx Stakes (1400m) in August and showed the performance was no fluke when he backed it up with a Chelmsford Stakes (1600m) victory in September.
Since then he has run on two unsuitable soft tracks when unplaced in the George Main Stakes (1600m) and nabbed by Verry Elleegant on the line in the Hill Stakes (2000m).
He returns to the Randwick 2000 metres for Saturday's Group Three Craven Plate and crucially, the horse will find himself on his favoured firm ground.
Baker said Samadoubt had continued to thrive and expected him to be hard to beat again.
"He pulled up perfect and he's in great order," Baker said.
"I couldn't be happier with him."
Regular rider Tim Clark will again partner Samadoubt whose seven rivals include the ageless Happy Clapper.
Clark says a firm track will be a big plus for his horse, who he expects to find the front despite the presence of Stampede who also likes to dictate terms.
"He doesn't have to lead but I would be surprised if he didn't," Clark said of Samadoubt.
"I think had the track been dry (last start) he probably wins but he still ran out of his skin."
Clark is also thankful to see a firm track for his St Leger Stakes (2600m) mount Hush Writer who he felt struggled to let down when sixth on a rain-affected track in the Group One Metropolitan Handicap (2400m).
He is just hoping the Japanese import is in a better pre-race mood.
"Hopefully he doesn't headbutt me before the race again," Clark said.
"It's disappointing he hit that wet track the other day because I thought he was a great hope and it just dulled his sprint a bit.
"Dry track Saturday, 2600, Gai and Adrian have got the Japanese horses flying so I'm looking forward to riding him."

What Are the Different Types of Gecko Habitats?
Geckos help keep the cockroach population in check.
Gecko habitats include deserts and grasslands.

There are an estimated 400 to 600 species of gecko lizards, and their natural habitats range from wet climates such as tropical rainforests and marshes to dry ones of deserts and grasslands. They are members of the Gekkonidae family of lizards, and, as cold-blooded creatures, are restricted to climates where the temperature is not extremely hot or cold, as they cannot regulate their body temperature. One of the advantages to being cold-blooded, however, is that less energy is required to sustain life, and this makes it possible for gecko habitats to include environments where food sources may be somewhat scarce.
Geckos are popular as small pets, since many species such as the Tokay gecko don't grow larger than 14 inches (36 centimeters) in length. They are also the only known lizard to have an ability to make vocalizations. The sounds they utter can often appear to be similar to the word gecko. Their popularity as pet lizards has spread them to all regions of the world populated by people, and accidental releases of breeding pairs into the wild has allowed them to establish gecko habitats in regions to which they otherwise weren't native.
Two unique traits of exotic pets such as geckos have allowed them to establish wild gecko habitats in urban areas. They are nocturnal creatures with no eyelids, which gives them the trait of seeking out shadowy and hidden areas to live, which keeps them out of the way of people. Smaller species of geckos also have toe pads on their feet that allow them to cling to nearly any vertical or horizontal surface. In warm climates, species such as the tiny House Gecko, a genus of 90 similar types of small lizards about 1 inch in length (2.54 centimeters), are welcomed into homes as harmless wild creatures. Their ability to control the mosquito, cockroach, and other insect populations has established enduring gecko habitats for them in many tropical cities and urban landscapes.
Geckos are thought to have originated in Southeast Asia and the western Pacific. Their spread around the world now includes gecko habitats even on many isolated islands. Unlike many small animals that have short lifespans, a gecko can live for up to 15 years in the wild. They tend to be very mobile creatures, and this, along with their ability to easily coexist with people, has led to gecko habitats being established in virtually every warm climate that's available.

VIDEO: Reporter Exposes 'Sadistic' Ukrainian Neo-Nazi Torture Dungeon in Lugansk
A Russian journalist has visited the former base of the notorious Ukrainian neo-Nazi Tornado battalion and found evidence of murder, torture, and rape, including of underage girls.
The base is located in the village of Privolye near the Lugansk People's Republic city of Lysychansk, which was recently liberated by Russian and allied forces.
Murad Gazdiev explains that the Tornado battalion was formed in 2014 and was so "murderous, sadistic and perverted that even the Ukrainian government wanted them gone."
Despite the unit's designation as a volunteer police battalion, it was led by a career criminal named Ruslan Onishchenko and the core of the group also consisted of ex-cons.
RT report: Tornado was disbanded in 2015 after it faced an array of allegations of kidnapping, rape, torture and unlawful killings. The 'policemen' committed many of their grisly deeds at their headquarters, which had been set up in a local school. While the battalion is long gone, the memory of its actions lives on among the locals.
Tornado fighters routinely grabbed people in the streets while searching for 'separatists' and inquiring why villagers were not in the army, a local man recalls. He showed the RT crew a dark room with no windows in the school's basement, which was said to be the torture dungeon of Tornado.
"People came out with bruises, beaten, and some were not found at all. My friend's son disappeared, he still has not been found," the man said, adding that some 5-6 people from his village alone vanished without a trace after their 'stay' at the battalion's headquarters.
The exact number of Tornado's victims remains unknown – locals are still searching for their graves. "They were doing something in the basements, they were walking around dressed like Nazis, they were shooting at the cemetery, they had a shooting range there. People disappeared, we've dug up everything around there – no one knows where they have gone," a local woman said.
Onishchenko was sentenced to 11 years in prison for kidnapping and torture back in 2015. Several of his associates also received jail terms for kidnapping, torture, rape, and looting.
However, shortly after Moscow launched its large-scale operation against Ukraine in late February, Kyiv began releasing inmates who wanted to serve on the frontline – regardless of the seriousness of their crimes. Onishchenko was turned loose earlier this week, despite not having served his term in full, and as he awaited a new trial for his alleged involvement in a 2018 prison riot. Moreover, nearly all of the jailed fighters with the notorious battalion are now said to have been set free.
According to the Ukrainian media, Onishchenko's original sentence had been computed in accordance with a 2015 law that says one day spent in pre-trial detention counts as two days in jail. However, the former commander had remained behind bars while awaiting trial for the prison riot.
"Nearly all of the battalion's members are now back on the frontline, fighting in various units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces," Viktor Pandzhakidze, the ex-spokesman for Tornado, told Ukrainian media.
Russia sent troops into Ukraine on February 24, citing Kyiv's failure to implement the Minsk agreements, designed to give the regions of Donetsk and Lugansk special status within the Ukrainian state. The protocols, brokered by Germany and France, were first signed in 2014. Former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has since admitted that Kyiv's main goal was to use the ceasefire to buy time and "create powerful armed forces."
In February 2022, the Kremlin recognized the Donbas republics as independent states and demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join any Western military bloc. Kyiv insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked.

PyWPS was originally written with support for GRASS GIS. The processes can be executed within a temporary created GRASS Location or within an existing GRASS Location, within temporary created Mapset. If you are not familiar with this concepts, please review the GRASS documentation.
First you have to configure PyWPS configuration file, as described in Configuration.
When you are initializing a new process (see process-initialization), you can add a pywps.Process.WPSProcess.grassLocation attribute to it.
You have two options: either run GRASS modules as you would do in shell script (running the modules directly) or access the GRASS-python interface.
Once the pywps.Process.WPSProcess.execute() method is executed, you can use the pywps.Process.WPSProcess.cmd() method for calling GRASS modules.
Since GRASS 6.4, Python bindings are supported. There are both a ctypes interface and GRASS Modules-Python interface. They are both described in the GRASS Wiki . There are grass.run_command(), grass.mapcalc() and other useful methods.

Inside Barclays and CommBank's open source collaboration
Posted By: Usama 0 Comment iTnews
First they poached Commonwealth Bank's CIO, and now global banking giant Barclays is coming for the Aussie bank's software.
Visiting Australia last week to speak at the UTS big data summit, Barclays' global chief data officer Usama Fayyad revealed he is working with CommBank to tee up a crossborder partnership that will see the Londonbased company use open source data analytics tools developed by internal CBA coders.
Fayyad told iTnews it was a chance meeting with then CBA CIO Michael Harte – who had flown to Barclays' London HQ to interview for their top tech job – that set the wheels in motion for a software development collaboration that will see Barclays take lessons from its Australian counterpart.
For the past three years, CBA's information strategy team under Andrew Kerr has been diligently working away at an extract, transform, load (ETL) tool that it can run on top of Hadoop to exploit its vast data sets.
ETL represents an expensive headache for big financial institutions, Fayyad said. The complex process behind pulling useful data out of often vast and unstructured warehouses means organisations are forced to pay top dollar for licences before they can access their own information.
"If I want to access a new data source in my bank, I might have to pay half a million pounds in licensing fees," he said. "The vendors are abusing the banks in terms of licensing prices."
This is why he has welcomed the CBA project with open arms, and is actively jumping on board – and bringing his considerable IT resources with him  to make "the ecosystem healthier by introducing cost pressure".
His meeting with Harte put Fayyad in touch with Andrew Kerr and his team, who after two or three years working on the Hadoopbased tools decided to submit it to the open source community.
Fayyad brought over five members of his team in July to meet with the Australians.
"[CBA] are being careful on their side. They want to know that whoever comes in is committed to following the methodology," he said.
"But we decided at the end of it that the partnership makes sense, so we are starting the collaboration now."
He said admired the courage behind the bank's move.
"I was impressed, I must say, with where CBA was compared to other banks. In my opinion they were five years to a decade ahead in their thinking.
"For most banks this is not the normal way to approach a problem. They hardly ever think about open source, and if they do they think about it as consumers not contributors."
Despite the resources poured into the development, however, the Barclays CDO said the open source decision made sense for CommBank.
"The whole area of ETL is not really viewed as competitive between banks," he said.
"People go open source, firstly as a way to give their developers visibility in the community, and also to ensure that what they're coming up with is high quality. Banks in particular face a lot of problems if they have developers of a low quality, because it is very rare that someone will be looking over what they do.
"They could be using junk code without even knowing it. But if you are using open source then people are looking over this all the time. I think of it as peer review, like in the academic system."
Another benefit to CBA from the partnership will be the contribution that Barclays' thousandsstrong IT workforce can bring to the expansion and maintenance of what could otherwise be an expensive ongoing project.
But Fayyad warned against thinking CBA's relatively small size – the bank serves roughly 8.5 million customers compared to Barclays 33 million – had any impact on the level at which the open source ETL team is performing.
"Because CBA have been at this longer, we would probably benefit initially more than they would," he said.
"They are clearly the leader in terms of these sorts of contributions…I think if this project takes off I think CBA will have a worldwide impact on the industry.
"I am very interested in making sure the whole financial services community benefits from it."

Q: To shard or not to shard?  GAE/java/jdo I'm currently porting some work from MySQL to Google App Engine/Java.  I'm using JDO, as well as the lower level java API where required.
I read through the optimization guide about sharding counters: http://code.google.com/appengine/articles/sharding_counters.html
I'm still building the foundation of my app.  I know that premature optimization is the root of all evil; but this is clearly documented in order to avoid contention.  So I'm having trouble deciding if I should be biased one way or the other.
So should I be sharding counters (and other possibly higher frequency write operation objects) by default, or should I go forward without sharding and implement on an as needed basis?

A: The salient meaning of "premature" here is "before the proper time." Designing to avoid limits, when those limits are well understood, is not premature.
Shard your counters.

A: Even with effective sharding, maintaining aggregates can add some substantial load to your application.  If you need that aggregate, and you can't afford an approximation; then using a sharded aggregate is not a premature optimization; there is no next best alternative.  If you don't actually need the counter, then the time it will take to implement it could be better spent elsewhere.

« Report shows For Every Two Homes Available for Sale, There Is One in the "Shadow"
The U.S. Census Bureau and US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued their report on New Residential Construction for February 2012 showing an increase in single-family home building permits from the month before of 4.9 percent and a 9.9 percent decrease in new home starts compared to the month before.
Building permits issued for single-family residences were at an annual rate of 472,000 homes which is 4.9 percent above the prior month and an increase of 23.6 percent from a year before.
Housing starts for single-family residences were at an annual rate of 457,000 which is a decrease of 9.9 percent from the prior month and an increase of 17.8 percent from a year before.
Homes completed were at an annual rate of 421,000 homes, which is an increase of 8.2 percent from the prior month and a decrease of 12.7 percent from a year before.
In February, there were 34,600 permits issued for new homes compared with 26,500 the same month of the prior year, for an increase of 30.1 percent.
In February, there were 31,500 new homes started compared with 26,600 the same month of the prior year, for an increase of 17.3 percent.
In February, there were 28,600 new homes completed compared with 32,900 the same month of the prior year, for a decrease of 13.0 percent.
New home construction continues to pick up, every so slowly, but it is on the rise. The real estate market in general has been showing increased activity however home prices are still falling in many markets. It will be interesting to see what happens once we go into the spring market.

Within Hungary, Bogács is renowned for its thermal bath and the Romanesque/Gothic church, the spire of which can be seen from miles around.
Although the village has its fair share of guesthouses (see below), it is possible to take a trip from Eger to Bogács and be back in time for dinner.
What we call Bogács today was first mentioned in church records in 1248 - the date when the Church is said to have been constructed.
During the Turkish occupation the village was completely deserted and only repopulated in the 18th century with most of its inhabitants employed in viticulture. In World War II the village was the scene of some fierce fighting during 1944 between the Axis forces and the Russians.
Today the wine industry still plays a large part in village life but since the chance discovery of thermal waters in the 1950s when oil prospecting, tourism has become the bread and butter for the majority of villagers.
As mentioned above, Bogács's thermal springs were discovered quite by accident while drilling for oil, and in 1959 the first pool opened. More followed, and in 2012 a major refurbishment project brought the bathing complex up to international standards.
Today the baths are one of most popular in the area, there are 10 pools in total including medicinal pools, children's pools and a competition-sized swimming pool.
During the winter not all the pools remain open, only three of the thermal pools (hot water) and one of the indoor are accessible during the colder months.
The water was designated medicinal in 2001 and is indicated for musculoskeletal conditions amongst others. For more details on the Bogács Thermal Baths please take a look at our page dedicated to the complex.
The first written evidence of a church on the site of modern day Bogács dates from 1248. Built in the Romanesque style it was replaced by a Gothic construction in the 15th century which by the 1700s had fallen into a state of disrepair.
Unfortunately most of the Gothic church was destroyed in 1928 when the building underwent extensive reconstruction work.
It is the nave, the lower part of the bell tower and the vestry that are the oldest parts of today`s St. Martin`s but it is impossible to date them accurately.
It is said that the church has some of the finest acoustics in the country and it regularly hosts organ and chamber concerts.
Entrance is free but unfortunately it is a bit of a lottery getting in as opening times are erratic but usually there is someone around to contact the keyholder.
Other sights in the village include the mandatory Peasant House Museum displaying all manner of artifacts from peasant life of the past, the Folk House a repository of traditional arts and crafts ranging from embroidery to homemade dolls, the Bogács Wine Cellars where you can taste and purchase the fiery red wine from the area and the Fishing Lake for which it is possible to buy fishing permits locally.
If you fancy something a bit more active, then there is the possibility to hire a bike and head into the scenic Bukk National Park.
Öreg Malom Apartments, Camping and Restaurant (only in Hungarian) - A big operation in a converted mill-house with its own restaurant.
Ilona Guesthouse - Just 20 metres from the baths and friendly service, what more could you want.
There are also guesthouses/hotels within the thermal baths complex itself for more information on these, go to our page dedicated to Bogács's Thermal Bath.

BOOK REVIEW: AN ANGEL'S TORMENT, ETERNALLY MATED #1
Patrol Log: 0106072016
Book Review On An Angel's Torment, Eternally Mated #1 By +Valerie Twombly
*Book provided by the author or an honest review*
Rated it
Archangel Tegan is an elite soldier who has lived centuries bound by duty and honor, so when he is chosen to procreate with a human, he never thinks to question his orders. Once he realizes the depths of his emotions for the fair-haired beauty who carries his child, he attempts to claim Ana as his own. It is only then he discovers just how forbidden a relationship with her really is and the lengths his commanders will go to stop it.
Tegan is the leader of Angel Warrior's, referred to as "The Elite" in heaven. Their job is to secure fallen angels and bring them to heaven. When Tegan falls in love with a human, he is willing to walk away from his duty to humanity and become a fallen to be with his eternal mate Ana. How do you not crumble into jelly and swoon over that?!
This is the story of when Ashley's parents meet and fall in love. Ashley is the one "Fall Into Darkness" and "Veiled In Darkness" are all about. In order to truly appreciate this story, I do recommend you read Fall Into Darkness first. And if you're a bleeding heart romantic, read both books first! I honestly believe that if Ashley had been given this whole story at the very beginning, she wouldn't have understood and would still be distant with her father Tegan. The timing had to be just right, and the author did in fact nail the timing!
Tegan was true to the cause that he worked so hard for, but when he found his mate in a human he was willing to walk away from it all. I was so enamored with their love story, and fell right into the tragedy that befell them. I was so heart broken by the end of the book that all I wanted to do was give Tegan a great big sympathy hug! I can now say that I adore Tegan for his big ol' romantic heart, and no longer think of him as a douche he kinda came across as in Ashley's book.

British Antarctic Expedition, 1907-09
A sledging Biscuit from the Nimrod Expedition, 1907-09
inscribed 'this biscuit was part of the food the men had who were out in the Nimrod in 1907 with Sir Ernest Shackleton & Sir Philip Brocklehurst in Search of the "South Pole" 1907 and 1909'
3in. (7.6cm.) square
in a registered letter envelope postmarked 'BARROW IN FURNESS 28 JA 35' and addressed to Mrs G. Clarke, "Belle Vue", Sutton on Sea, Lincs. Sold with an Antarctic Club Christmas Card inscribed 'To Doris' from 'Sir Philip' [Brocklehurst], and illustrated with a photograph of 'Nimrods on the plateau - Christmas 1908.'
?Particularly in food, Shackleton took care to avoid old mistakes. He had, for example, ordered special biscuits fortified with Plasmon, the concentrated milk protein already tried on Discovery...…Besides 7½oz of pemmican and 16oz of Plasmon biscuits per man each day, there was some cheese, cocoa, pure Plasmon, tea, oats and sugar, making 34oz in all. There was too much carbohydrate, too little fat, and none of the as yet undiscovered vitamin C.' (R. Huntford, Shackleton, London, 1985, p.251)
The biscuit from the Nimrod expedition lives particularly in the memory from Frank Wild's anecdote jotted in his journal as the Polar Party, starving and ill, came back onto the Barrier from the plateau in January 1909: 'They were living off pemmican and pony meat, with only ?our thin biscuits each a day now [having made the food depôt on the Barrier]. Underlining every word, Wild wrote on the last day of January t?at Shackleton "privately forced upon me his one breakfast biscuit, and would have given me another tonight had I allowed him. I do not suppose that anyone else in the world can thoroughly realise how much generosity and sympathy was shown by this; I DO by GOD I shall never forget it. Thousands of pounds would not have bought that biscuit."' (R. Huntford, op. cit., p.280)
Sir Philip Brocklehurst met Shackleton in 1906 and soon after offered to join his expedition: 'Sir Philip...impressed Shackleton by being rich and well connected. Sir Philip, for his part, admired Shackleton because he was "Bohemian", "fond of the ladies", and "extravagant with taxis". He offered to contribute to the expedition funds, or rather, since he was only nineteen, and still a minor, his mother would do so.' (R. Huntford, op. cit.. pp.168-9). Brocklehurst was a contender for the southern party on the expedition, but was rejected after he suffered frostbite on the ascent of Mt. Erebus and had to have one of his big toes amputated by Marshall.

Paths to Freedom screenings, workshops at Tshwane Film Fest
Paths to Freedom, a pioneering documentary on the birth of Namibian liberation movement Swapo, will be one of the highlights of the 2015 Tshwane One City Film Festival.
The second edition of the festival, taking place at various venues across Pretoria and its neighbouring townships from 19 to 28 November, will include both screenings of Paths to Freedom and workshops for emerging filmmakers with the film's director, Richard Pakleppa.
"We are extremely excited to showcase Paths to Freedom at our festival this year," Basil Dube, founder and director of the Tshwane One City Film Festival, said in a statement last week.
The history of Namibia's struggle for freedom could not be separated from South Africa's own struggle, said Dube, himself a former student activist of the 1980s.
"We fought a common enemy through Swapo and the ANC in exile. We had a common vision to liberate our people from the oppressive regime of Malan and Botha. When they detained and brutally tortured our MK cadres at Compol building in Pretoria, they did the same to our comrades from Swapo of Namibia.
"This is a story of heroes of the struggle for liberation."
The film features prominent political leaders and activists, including Toivo ya Toivo, Mzee Kaukungwa, Gerson Veli, Ben Amthila, Hifi Pohamba and founding president Sam Nujoma, who enjoyed a cordial relationship with the ANC in exile.
Completed in 2014, the film has been well received in London, Johannesburg - where it had its South African premiere in February - and Durban.
As part of the Tshwane festival, director Richard Pakleppa, who has produced and directed a number of films in Africa, will conduct a series of documentary filmmaking workshops with aspirant and emerging filmmakers from Mamelodi, Soshanguve, Mabopane, Hammanskraal and Ga-Rankuwa.
For more information on workshops and screenings, contact the festival's marketing and communications director, Thabo Lekgwathi, on 076 177 7441 or email thabo359@gmail.com or visit the festival's Facebook page.
