Q: Laurent Expansion of $\frac{1}{z(z-1)}$ about $0$ using integral form of coefficients I've seen many questions already on Laurent Expansions and how to find examples like my question, however, most of them turn to geometric series and partial fractions, which I understand can be faster but when under time pressure, sometimes I just don't see the trick they want me to use and I would like to know that I always have a backup in a definition that should always work.
However, using this definition I keep getting stuck and most of the time my answer is just not correct. This particular problem is about $f(z)=\frac{1}{z(z-1)}$ where we want to express $f$ as a Laurent series around $0$ for $|z|>1$.
This is how I'd go about this problem:
We know that $f(z)=\frac{1}{z(z-1)}=\sum_{-\infty}^\infty a_nz^n$ for some coefficients $a_n$, where we use the Laurent series around $0$. Both $0$ and $1$ are simple poles, and for any $r>1$, both poles lie in the interior of de circle around $0$ of radius $r$.
We look at the open annulus of $1<r<|z|<R$ where $f$ is holomorphic. Then we know that the $a_n$ from above are given by:
$$a_n=\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_{|z|=r_0}\frac{f(z)}{z^{n+1}}dz=
\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_{|z|=r_0}\frac{1}{z^{n+2}(z-1)}=:
\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_{|z|=r_0}g(z),$$
where $|z|=r_0$ is any circle in the open annulus ($r<r_0<R)$, on which we integrate in a positive direction.
Both poles $0$ and $1$ are inside this circle of radius $r_0$, and $g$ is holomorphic on the interior of this circle except at these poles. Therefore, we can use the residue sum theorem for $g$ to calculate the above integral, where $0$ is a pole of order $n+2$ and $1$ is a simple pole:
$$Res(g,0)=\lim_{z\to 0}\frac{d^{n+1}}{dz^{n+1}}\Big(\frac{z^{n+2}}{z^{n+2}(z-1)(n+1)!}\Big)=
\frac{1}{(n+1)!}\lim_{z\to 0}\Big(\frac{(-1)^{n+1}(n+1)!}{(z-1)^{n+2}}\Big)=-1$$
$$Res(g,1) = \lim_{z\to 1}(z-1)\frac{1}{z^{n+2}(z-1)}=1$$
By the Residue Sum Theorem, the integral is equal to $2\pi i*(Res(g,0) +Res(g,1)) = 0$.
This however would lead to the $a_n$ being all 0, which is not the case for $n<-1$.
I saw the answer model which said that with a trick using geometric series you will get the answer $\frac{1}{z^2}+\frac{1}{z^3}+\frac{1}{z^4}...$. So clearly the $a_n$ are in fact $0$ for all $n>-2$, but this method does not provide me with $a_n$ for $n<-1$.
The first part of this question was about $|z|<1$ where you could use the geometric series directly; I did use this method as well when solving the first question. In that case, only the pole $0$ was inside the region of integration, and the residue, and thus the $a_n$, was equal to $-1$. This answer was correct, but now for all $n>-2$, and wrong for all $n<-1$ (as it's about a simple pole, the $a_n$ should logically be $0$ anyway for $n<-1$).
Somehow I seem to calculate the $a_n$ only for one half of the series, whereas the coefficients are incorrect for the other half. Where am I doing anything wrong in the steps above?
Edit: Finally I have maybe found what could be the problem; the calculation I used for residues uses $n+1$'th derivatives. As soon as $n<-1$, this calculation is no longer valid and the formula used for a general derivative of $1/z$ is no longer what I say it is. How to proceed now?

A: When $n\le -2$, $-n\ge2$,
$$\int_C \frac{f(z)}{z^{n+1}}\,dz=\int_C\frac{z^{-n-2}\,dz}{z-1}$$
and the integrand has no pole at $z=0$, so only the pole at $z=1$ counts, and
there the residue is $1$.

SKYDIGGERS SHARE NEW TRACK FROM UPCOMING ALBUM
LISTEN AND SHARE "AN APOLOGY" HERE
SKYDIGGERS' WARMTH OF THE SUN OUT OCTOBER 20 VIA LATENT RECORDINGS
PRE-ORDER WARMTH OF THE SUN HERE CD // VINYL // DIGITAL
TOUR DATES BEGIN NOV 15
Today, Skydiggers are sharing another track from their upcoming album, Warmth Of The Sun. The original idea for album track "An Apology" dates back to early in the band's life. "I started fooling around with it on one of my writing retreats at the Banff Centre, raising the key to make it a little more plaintive," say songwriter Andy Maize. "In the recording we added a solo and another bridge to try to get it to the two-minute mark. It's nice to be able to reach back to older songs that for one reason or another never fell into place. Anything we have written is always there somewhere. Songs sometimes tell you when they are ready. They're never gone."
In a time of confusion, anger and division, the Skydiggers' 9th studio album, Warmth of the Sun, arrives on October 20 as an eloquent and vital plea for compassion, honesty, healing and reckoning with the truth, rendered in the group's classic folk-rock style.
The 12-track album, which reflects the group's elemental guitar-based origins and plaintive layered vocal style, was recorded by longtime band associate Michael Timmins (Cowboy Junkies) and will be released via Latent Recordings label on CD, digital download, and — in a first for Skydiggers' 30-year career — on vinyl.
The urgency and immediacy of the songs is reflected in how the record was made. Several are presented in live-off-the-floor versions, often with live vocals intact, lending the LP an air of immediacy, vitality and intimacy, reflective of the band's storied live shows. It's also evidence of the strength of the road-honed band lineup featured on the record: the rhythm section of Derrick Brady (bass) and Noel Webb (drums), vocalist Jessy Bell Smith and the most recent addition, multi-instrumentalist Aaron Comeau.
Finlayson adds, "If there was an agenda, it was that we wanted more of a guitar centric record. We very much love this version of the band. Most of the tracks were recorded in two days and we didn't spend a lot of time on overdubs."
WATCH AND SHARE "WARMTH OF THE SUN" HERE
The songs draw from a number of sources, everything from recent collaborations between Finlayson and Maize ("Like A New Beginning") to songs that date back to the dawn of their collaboration in the 1980s ("An Apology"). "Show Me The Night" features an emotive vocal from Jessy Bell Smith and dates to a songwriting session between Finlayson, Tom Wilson (Lee Harvey Osmond, Blackie & The Rodeo Kings), Thompson Wilson, and Stephen Fearing (Blackie & The Rodeo Kings). "Push Comes To Shove" was one of several songs drafted by Maize during songwriting retreats at the Banff Centre and Finlayson's "When You're On A Roll", co-written with Kevin Douglas, was penned during his frequent songwriting sojourns in Nashville. The set also includes two heartfelt covers: The Tragically Hip's "The Rock" from The Depression Suite and "The Air That I Breathe", best known in The Hollies' hit version.
"Warmth Of The Sun is a reflection of the live band, how good the players are, how quick they are," says Maize. "And we wanted to capture that energy and not overthink it."
The result can only be described as a classic Skydiggers album, one that can sit shoulder to shoulder alongside milestone records in the group's catalogue like Restless, Just Over This Mountain and Road Radio. "It's a privilege to have had this opportunity to share our music with people for so many years," says Finlayson. "Warmth of the Sun reflects our lives right now, and we're lucky to share it with people and let it become part of their lives."

Even before he was given a formal seat on the National Security Council's "principals committee" this weekend by President Donald Trump, Bannon was calling the shots and doing so with little to no input from the National Security Council staff, according to an intelligence official who asked not to be named out of fear of retribution.
"He is running a cabal, almost like a shadow NSC," the official said. He described a work environment where there is little appetite for dissenting opinions, shockingly no paper trail of what's being discussed and agreed upon at meetings, and no guidance or encouragement so far from above about how the National Security Council staff should be organized.

Complex Litigation/Mass Torts
Complex litigation and mass tort lawsuits are subject to intricate legal procedures, often in an array of state and federal courts, and sometimes in unfamiliar venues. Many times, individual cases begin on a small scale in a variety of local and state courts. While these cases often arise in disparate venues, they are frequently consolidated or coordinated for the purpose of achieving a more streamlined process and predictable results. Such matters can be procedurally daunting and labor intensive, requiring experienced litigators who have the acumen and staffing muscle necessary to wage an effective contest.
The attorneys and staff of Murphy, Pearson, Bradley & Feeney's Complex Litigation/Mass Torts group have repeatedly risen to the challenge. Throughout the years, we have represented clients in complex litigation brought under a wide range of theories and in a spectrum of federal and state courts nationwide. Our clients include both plaintiffs and defendants from diverse situations and circumstances. Among them are consumers and businesses harmed by anticompetitive and deceptive trade practices; businesses facing coordinated attacks by competitors and individuals; public security holders victimized by fraud; persons exposed to hazardous substances; and victims of civil and human rights abuses.
Our firm has the experience, resources, skills and vision essential to serve as national lead counsel or as regional and local trial counsel for plaintiffs and defendants involved in complex litigation matters and class action lawsuits.
Our attorneys handle all phases of complex civil litigation, from the earliest stages of discovery through trial and appeal. Maximizing the latest technology to scan, organize, and manage the often substantial number of documents and data points associated with these cases, we have honed our due diligence process to a science.

Q: mkdir fails with tilde on OS X in C? I'm porting a C library to OSX which haven't given me much of a headache until now. In the next function:
int createDirectory( char *directory ){

    int error;

    error = mkdir(directory, S_IRWXU | S_IRWXG | S_IROTH | S_IXOTH);

    if( error < 0 ){

        if( errno != EEXIST ){

            return errno;
        }
    }

    return error;
}

No matter what directory is, mkdir() always fails with EPERM (Operation not permitted). I'm not sure if the xcode executable is sandboxed or if I'm missing something, but every path I pass to the function fails.
I've tried to mkdir from the terminal and the folders are created without a problem, so I'm not sure where the problem is. This function works fine in Linux and Solaris.
Example paths:
"~/Library/Application\\ Support/myApp"
"~/Desktop/myApp"

The first one is an actual example of a directory the library should create.

A: OSX does not expand the '~' character as bash does (although it uses bash).
Given this program, running in /tmp:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    char *given = "~/Library";
    char result[1024];
    char *s;
    mkdir("~", 0755);
    mkdir("~/Library", 0755);
    if ((s = realpath(given, result)) != 0) {
        printf ("%s\n", s);
    } else {
        perror("realpath");
    }
    return 0;
}

I get this result on OSX:
/private/tmp/~/Library

I get this result on Linux (Debian) as well as with Solaris 10:
/tmp/~/Library

As noted in Why doesn't the tilde (~) expand inside double quotes?, this was originally a csh shell feature which bash incorporated long ago (citing a page from 1994).  It is not implemented in any of the given systems' runtime libraries.

GINA BINOLE: Under bill, residents would name ferries
Gina Binole — Mar 1st, 1997
State Rep. Karen Schmidt has introduced legislation that would allow folks to "name that ferry."
Under House Bill 1785, Washington residents would be encouraged to submit suggested names for new ferries in the state system. Names would have to be of historical or cultural significance.
Schmidt, a Bainbridge Island Republican and chairwoman of the House Transportation Committee, said she drafted the bill after hearing people wanted more creativity in the naming process. She also said some names are tough to pronounce and could be confusing to the traveler.
Currently, ferries carry Native American words except for the Evergreen State.
"It's difficult to tell people that to travel from Seattle to Bainbridge Island, you have to go by the Tacoma," Schmidt said.
The names would be turned over to the ferry advisory committees and narrowed to three for each boat. The state Transportation Commission would make the final decision.
n Rep. Jim Buck, R-Joyce, is hoping to help people living on the Olympic Peninsula get better connected, and boost its economy.
He is pushing for an airport near Forks. The state Department of Transportation is studying the feasibility of transferring ownership of the long-unused airfield. The one-time military airfield, located about five miles northwest of Forks, has two 5,000-foot runways, a hangar and control tower.
Buck said the prospects for economic development at the airport already have attracted the attention of a King County manufacturing firm, the Quileute Indians and The Boeing Co.
n The issue of welfare reform is likely to top next week's discussion list in the Legislature.
Sen. Betti Sheldon, a Bremerton Democrat and member of the minority party, said her colleagues could have more influence on this issue because it's unclear if there's enough GOP support for Yakima Sen. Alex Deccio's proposal.
"If they need your vote, you're in a much more powerful position," Sheldon said.
She hopes that means some of her concerns will be addressed. For instance, she doesn't believe a few of her GOP colleagues who've been quoted as saying there are enough restaurants and nursing homes to absorb the welfare-to-work force.
"Those high-paying jobs," she said sarcastically.
Besides, studies show nursing home employees already could use more training to properly care for the elderly, she said.
n Former gubernatorial contender Ellen Craswell is back in the news this week as a political player.
You might recall that when she was defeated by Gov. Gary Locke this fall, she said she was amazed at the number and dedication of her campaign volunteers. She hoped they remained involved in politics.
Her former assistant campaign manager, Chad Minnick, has formed a political action committee, called the Foundation Group, to get social conservatives like Craswell elected to office.
n During a committee hearing Friday, Sen. Lena Swanson questioned whether forcing Bremerton to pay for a water management system it doesn't want was taxation without representation. After the meeting, the recently appointed Bremerton Democrat asked constituents: "Are my questions appropriate? I felt it was appropriate. But I wasn't sure, and I wanted to do well for you guys. Did I do well for you guys?"
"Yep," said one man, "You did a good job for us. And if you see this bill pass through, then we'll get you re-elected."

The preference for gold miners these days has been to sell assets. Just this week, major bullion producer Barrick Gold said it will likely sell six mines in the U.S. by year end -- in order to reduce debt.
That's why it was surprising in the utmost last week to see one gold miner making a big asset purchase. In a commodity that's not even gold -- in fact, not even a metal.
And last Thursday, Sibanye said it is making another unexpected purchase. Buying part of a coal mining operation.
The company announced it will buy debt in South African coal developer Waterberg Coal Group -- in the form of an A$22.5 million convertible note. Sibanye will also invest A$8.5 million of working capital into Waterberg Coal.
Which all begs the question: why? What is management seeing here that's causing them to spend, at a time when most gold miners are frantically trying to preserve cash?
In this instance, Sibanye is looking to the future. With the purchase aimed at securing coal supplies within its operating sphere -- which could help ensure access to steady electricity.
Sibanye said earlier this year that it wants to build its own dedicated power plant -- of between 200 and 600 MW capacity. A move that would insulate the company from high power costs in South Africa, as well as limited availability of power that's been hitting the mining sector of late.
Waterberg Coal Group holds a massive coal endowment in South Africa's northeastern Limpopo province. In total, the company has identified 3.4 billion tonnes of coal here. Related: Can The Saudi Economy Resist 'Much Lower For Much Longer'?
Waterberg Coal however, has yet to begin mining, with the project being outside of South Africa's main coal-producing region of Mpumalanga. And the challenges of bringing on a frontier mine here pushed the company into bankruptcy earlier this year.
Sibanye is thus buying cheap into a big asset. Of the kind that could support its ambitions in power generation.
This is an out-of-the-box move, which could give Sibanye a big leg-up in South Africa's mining sector. Watch to see how this unique strategy pays off.
Who's The Buyer For This $700 Million Package Of Gold Mines?
Barrick thought they were smart buying Cadence Energy and other Alberta assets in 2008 to hedge their oil costs.
Unfortunately, it did not work out they way and they sold it all in 2013 for a huge loss.

Bighorn sheep foraging in Clear Creek Canyon near Golden.
Once more, it would appear, the frequently diverging polarities of politics and wildlife management policy are poised to clash in the chambers of Colorado's Parks and Wildlife Commission. And as is so often the outcome of such conflicts, it seems the humble Colorado sportsman is the one who stands to lose.
At issue at Thursday's commission meeting in Frisco is a proposed overhaul to the existing Ranching for Wildlife (RFW) program as it applies to bighorn sheep. And while few hunters may know the details of the current program, much less the proposed changes, each of the 14,838 hunters who applied for the 252 bighorn licenses in Colorado last year would do well to pay attention to how Thursday's votes are cast.
It goes without saying that these top-tier tags are difficult to come by. Of those who apply, most will never get the opportunity to hunt a bighorn sheep in their lifetime, unless they are willing to pay a premium for it. And while such opportunities don't come cheap, they may soon come more often.
Should it be approved, the newly proposed Private Land Access Program for bighorn sheep is certain to expand the flagging RFW program for several reasons, not all of them bad. Yet the evidence suggests that a primary reason for the sudden overhaul offering newfound incentive to potential participants is rooted in politics, which as we've all learned by now is rooted in money.
Exhibit A, as long as we're examining evidence, is presented as the pile of money amounting to $40,000 or more for the transfer of a single private bighorn sheep hunting opportunity allotted to one ranch through the RFW partnership. The current arrangement allows one Colorado public-draw hunter an opportunity to hunt the same property for every private hunt that occurs.
The exception to that rule is found on Louis Bacon's Trinchera Blanca Ranch in southern Colorado, a model of wildlife habitat and conservation efforts that has earned accolades from the head of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and even the Secretary of the Interior. Almost 25 years ago, before the RFW program existed, Trinchera also earned a 9-to-1 split of private bighorn hunting tags over public. That agreement, coincidentally, is set to expire Dec. 31, 2015.
Trinchera is among a handful of ranches to express interest in participation in a new program, especially if the current 1-to-1 private-to-public license ratio is bolstered to the suggested ratio of 3-to-1. At the existing ratio, CPW staffers say, they'll pass.
It's widely viewed that the 170,000-acre Trinchera has done more for wildlife than any other ranch in Colorado. As a result, it garners a degree of political clout.
Increased participation in the program would probably incur a modest increase in public hunting opportunity as well, yet those whose interest is vested solely in the public resource of wildlife and the hunters who provide the vast majority of its funding backbone consider the proposed threefold increase in private ram licenses under a new, expanded program nothing short of a slap in the face.
The root of the concern is the continued loss of the public resource to private interests, particularly through a program that does little or nothing to benefit wild sheep. There is no requirement for participating ranches to improve bighorn habitat and, frankly, little habitat management required.
But it doesn't take much imagination to see similar programs creeping into other coveted big game hunting scenarios, including moose, the most difficult license to draw in the state. As a result, several other wildlife and sportsmen's conservation groups also are opposed to the Private Land Access Program as it is currently proposed for bighorn sheep.
"We feel like the existing proposal attempts to appease all landowners in the state who potentially qualify for the program, at a great and unacceptable loss to sportsmen in the state," said Meyers, who serves as a representative on CPW's Sportsmen's Roundtable.
The question is whether anyone is listening.

The Landlord's Wife
Monsieur de Treville and the four comrades hurried to the palace to see the King but were disappointed when they arrived. The King had decided to go hunting in the forest!
Monsieur de Treville spent the afternoon visiting Duc de la Tremouille and ensuring that he had a good understanding of the cause of the brawl. In the evening, the King returned from his hunt, which had been unsuccessful, and Monsieur de Treville went to see him. He persuaded the King to see Duc de la Tremouille and hear his opinion about the brawl, which the King did the next morning. When Monsieur de Treville returned to the palace, he brought the three musketeers and D'Artagnan with him. The King asked D'Artagnan to tell his version of the story and was soon convinced that the musketeers were not at fault. He rewarded them with forty pistoles, which they shared among them. However, he did give them a warning about the number of guards they were putting out of action.
"I think one or two occasionally is enough," he said, "but seven in two days is too many!"
D'Artagnan's three new companions helped him decide how he should spend his money. First, they had a wonderful meal. Then, D'Artagnan hired a servant, whose name was Planchet. Each of the musketeers had a servant that reflected their own personality. Athos was a quiet man who rarely spoke. He never spoke at all to his servant, Grimaud, and did not allow Grimaud to speak to him. He communicated with signs and beat him if he misunderstood. On those occasions, he sometimes spoke a few words.
Porthos, on the other hand, loved to talk and show off, and his servant, Mousqueton, did the same. Porthos lived in a large, very impressive building but never allowed anyone into his rooms and was never home when anybody came to visit him unexpectedly.
The third musketeer, Aramis, was scholarly and wanted to be a priest one day, and his servant, Bazin, was always reading books. He was a very quiet and loyal servant.
D'Artagnan discovered that Athos, Porthos, and Aramis were not the real names of his friends, but he could not find out what their real names were. He asked each of them questions about themselves and about each other, but they would tell him nothing.
The three musketeers taught D'Artagnan how to live in the city, and the four of them became inseparable. D'Artagnan was not a musketeer, but he helped with guard duties and was soon well known by all the other musketeers. Meanwhile, Monsieur de Treville had not been idle. One day, the King ordered the Captain of the guards, Monsieur des Essarts, to accept D'Artagnan in his company. D'Artagnan would have preferred to be a musketeer immediately, but Monsieur de Treville said that he should serve two years in another company first.
"Of course," he said, "this period might become shorter if you do something special to prove yourself to be worthy."
After a while, the money that the King had given D'Artagnan was all spent. The musketeers took it in turns to provide some money and get invitations to dinner with their friends. When one was invited to dinner, the other three came along and so did their servants. They got a small advance on their wages from Monsieur de Treville, and this helped for a while, but they were soon poor again. D'Artagnan began to wonder why four such brave and clever young men, who could accomplish anything they agreed to do together, were poor.
While he was thinking about this one day, he had a visit from his landlord. He did not recognize him because he had not paid any rent for three months. The landlord was a timid but wealthy draper called Bonacieux, and he wanted D'Artagnan to help him. He said that he would overlook the unpaid rent. In fact, he promised that he would never charge him rent again and that he would also give him fifty pistoles. Of course, D'Artagnan was very interested.
"My wife is one of the Queen's maids," said Bonacieux. "Yesterday morning, she was kidnapped. Four days ago, she told me that the Queen was afraid because the Cardinal was persecuting her. You know about the Saraband incident, of course?"
"Yes, of course," replied D'Artagnan. He knew that the King and Queen did not like each other and that the Cardinal did not like the Queen either, but he didn't know anything about the Saraband incident. However, he didn't want the landlord to know that he didn't know.
"Since then," continued Bonacieux, "the Cardinal has been worse. Now, he wants revenge. The Queen thinks that they have written to the Duke of Buckingham in her name and tricked him into coming to Paris. You know that the Duke is a friend of the Queen. I am sure they will set some sort of trap for him. I think they will force my wife to act as a kind of spy for them."
"Do you have any ideas about who kidnapped her?" asked D'Artagnan.
"I think I know him. He is the Cardinal's private spy. I don't know his name, but I have seen him. He is about forty-five years old, has dark hair and a well-trimmed, black moustache. He also has a small scar on his cheek."
"A scar on his cheek?! I know him! Do you know where he lives?"
"No, I don't. I got this letter."
He gave D'Artagnan a letter. D'Artagnan took it to the window to read it.
"Do not try to find your wife. We will give her back to you when we are finished with her."
The landlord came to the window too and suddenly cried out.
"Look! There! That man in the doorway across the street!"
D'Artagnan looked out of the window and saw what the landlord saw. It was him! The man from Meung! The letter stealer and wife kidnapper!
D'Artagnan drew his sword and rushed out of the room. On the stairs, he met Porthos and Athos who were just coming to visit him.
"It's the man from Meung!" he shouted. They let him go. They had heard the story and knew that D'Artagnan wanted to fight this man.
"He'll be back soon," they told each other.
They went upstairs to his room. It was empty because the landlord had decided that it was safer to leave.
D'Artagnan rushed up and down the streets with his drawn sword but could not find the man from Meung. He returned to the house across the street and knocked on the door until the neighbors put their heads out of their windows and told him that the house had been empty for six months. He returned to his own room, where Aramis had meanwhile turned up as well. He told the musketeers the landlord's story. Then Aramis told them his story.
"Last night, I was visiting a friend who has a niece. I was escorting the niece to her carriage, when a man, who could well be your man from Meung, approached us and told us to get into his carriage. He had about five or six men to help him."
"He mistook you for the Duke of Buckingham! And your friend's niece for the Queen!" said D'Artagnan.
"I think that might be true. He addressed me as 'Duke' and my friend's niece as 'Madame,' and it was very dark."
As the four friends were considering this, they heard hurried footsteps outside the door, and in the next moment, Bonacieux burst into the room.
"Help!" he shouted. "Four policemen are trying to arrest me!"
The musketeers drew their swords, ready to fight the policemen, but D'Artagnan told them to put them away. The policemen entered the room and, much to the amazement of the landlord and the musketeers, D'Artagnan helped them to arrest the landlord. He even offered the policemen some of the wine he had obtained from the landlord.
When they had gone, Porthos and Aramis turned on D'Artagnan and complained about what he had done.
"You let the police arrest your friend!"
Athos disagreed with them. "D'Artagnan, you're a genius!"
The others were astonished but agreed to stick with their motto: One for all and all for one.
D'Artagnan was taking the lead and told them they should all go to their own homes. "We have declared war on the Cardinal himself!" he said.

IPV Teams Up with World-Renowned Creative Agencies for Future of Video Report
First-hand insights from the world's largest creative agencies detail how to successfully transition to future-proof remote video workflows without sacrificing quality, and the mission-critical tools to pull it off
By samanthabryton
Chicago, IL – July 21, 2020 – IPV, experts in intelligent video content management for more than 20 years, have just released the report, The Future of Video for Creative Agencies By the World's Leading Creative Agencies. The report provides an in-depth look at four of the world's largest creative agencies, Foote, Cone, and Belding (FCB), Wavemaker, GMR and Mustache, and how they adapted to a sudden seismic shift in how their teams create and deliver client work by moving to a fully remote workflow model.
In the report, readers will gain an understanding of what is anticipated to be the new normal for agencies creating video content in the age of COVID-19 and beyond. Leading professionals from each agency share their approach to managing a complete 180-degree shift in the way their globally dispersed teams collaborate and manage content, implementing long-term solutions that will change the way they work forever.
This report examines the various challenges that creative teams have to overcome to match current and future demands for video content in a work from home environment, such as:
Slow WiFi further burdened by family members or housemates being online at home.
Limited access to media files and footage from outside networks.
Issues with software licenses on home equipment.
Poor performance of home equipment, as compared to office workstations.
Creative slumps as a result of not being able to meet in person and work physically together — for instance, quickly showing someone else a scene or clip or discussing an idea.
Security concerns and permissions controls for files and media.
Difficulty honing briefs, given a new inability to meet in person with colleagues and clients.
Key findings from the report include:
92% of digital marketers say video is an important part of their strategy, and those who use video see their revenue grow nearly 50% more quickly than those who don't.
62% of agencies predict significant increases in their video production output and 34% predict similar rises in their online video creation services.
63% of teams want to use cloud-based tools to help them with video production to ensure business continuity in the future.
"For many agencies, the lock-down has been a time for discovering weaknesses and pain points, and finding solutions that will hopefully lead to a completely air-tight operation," says Martin Coles, vice president of marketing at IPV. "The crisis has highlighted some glaring gaps in infrastructure; video production teams now recognize that media asset management is necessary to ensure business continuity in the future."
Kerry Hill, Director of Production at FCB, North America
FCB (Foote, Cone & Belding) is a global, fully integrated marketing communications company with a heritage of creativity and success dating from 1873. FCB focuses on significantly changing consumer behavior to the benefit of its clients, its people and society.
For Hill's team, the challenge was found in "the technical side of it — storage backup plans, how we prepare for next time." As Hill says, "certainly no one wants to be caught off guard ever again."
Eli Ash, Director of Production at Mustache
Mustache is a full-service, end-to-end (holistically crafted with love), creative content agency which is part of Cognizant Interactive. With a keen focus on video and social, Mustache is the rocket fuel for today's 24/7, 360˚ customer experience.
"80% of the projects we were doing involved live-action shooting. A good majority of our projects had to be shifted to post-only," Ash says of their transition.
Georgine Hajjar, Creative Director at Wavemaker
Wavemaker is the second largest media agency network in the world that specialises in content development, precision marketing, commerce and marketing technology
Hajjar knew her team needed a world-class long-term solution to provide continued and consistent high-quality service, saying, "Because we have very big clients, there was no room for mistakes."
Andy Hayman, Head of Content and Production at GMR Marketing
Founded in 1979, GMR is an innovative global experiential and sponsorship agency that creates, consults and activates in more than 70 countries, covering every continent from 23 offices in 12 countries.
"We want our clients to know that even though we are working remotely, their content always has and always will be safe," says Hayman.

About Urban Initiatives
Professional Collaborations
, Hawthorn East
Client: Bialik College
Type: Place, Victoria, Secondary School
Staff: Anthony Magen, Jason Isaks, Tim Hart
Working in conjunction with: Ron Unger Architects, Andrew Gibbs Furniture Design and Schipperheyn (Sculptor)
The 2010 landscape design for the Bialik Library Courtyard builds on Urban Initiatives' masterplanning and design of all the external spaces at the College. This relationship has continued for a period of almost 20 years.
Urban Initiatives' design for the Bialik Library Courtyard has added a refined and culturally sensitive, central outdoor learning space to the College. The design employs a limited range of natural materials and finishes to establish a simple, elegant space which has become the ceremonial and functional heart of the College.
Conceived as an 'outdoor room' and integrated with the adjacent library, the VCE centre and the music room, the courtyard caters for a variety of passive uses such as informal gatherings, small performances, outdoor teaching and private tuition.
Renowned sculptor, Schipperheyn, was also commissioned as part of the project to produce a bronze bust of the Jewish Poet, Hayyim Nahman Bialik, after whom the School is named. Hayim Bialik (1873-1974) was one of the pioneers of modern Hebrew poetry and became recognised as Israel's national poet. The sculpture includes a recessed bowl water feature carved from polished black granite with re-circulating water which sheets over the Star of David. The water feature is edged by a Hebrew poem by Bialik, which is carved into the stone edging.
The landscape design for the space and the concept for the sculpture were developed in parallel and required close collaboration between the landscape architect and the sculptor.
The use of quality yet robust materials, many of which will improve with age, has created a space with a very warm feel. The courtyard is well used throughout the day and has quickly become one of the most significant spaces on the campus.

you say, no, I really 526,000.
526 is really my limit.
Now there's some risk, tell us how to think about that.
>> Well first of all, the way off of the 526.
then you met with your spouse.
then you came back, small increment.
would be as successful as you, because I see you have these pictures of children.
our accountant, 526 six is all we have got.
We're just starting out we're a young couple.
saying your house isn't worth $600.
>> You're gonna say, if you can get $600 for this house, please.
If I were you, I would.
I, unfortunately I'm only able to, I'm only prepared to pay this much.
this will involve paying utilities.
Also, we try to figure it out.
you and good experience and hope that carries over to us.
And it looks like you produce a very happy family here, but this is all we got.
We're young, we're just starting out.
>> So to push you a little bit, now the person says, I appreciate that.
And for you, I will make this special price.
I'm prepared to come down to 550,000.
you've argued this is really your limit, perhaps it wasn't entirely your limit.
I know my wife wants this house badly and my children would love it.
And to be honest with you, so would I.
I like it, I appreciate you coming down.
Let me go back to check with my account and speak to my lawyer.
In other words, what you're doing is you have limited authority.
You always want to have a backup position.
Quick is risky, you don't want to go to fast.
so you want people to work for concessions.
So you can't say, yes right then and there.
You gotta go back and call them back the next day.
Could we meet with you tonight?
say, the best we could do is 537.
recalculating and our account won't even let us go there.
The accountant says 534, but we can go 537.
We just love your house, that's what you do.

Joey Bosa Appears To Be Good As Hell
Tom Ley
Remember those anonymous NFL executives who wanted you to believe that Joey Bosa's rookie season was going to be a wash because he missed training camp and preseason? Remember how the Chargers thought it was a good idea to engage in a long and ugly contract standoff with Bosa over little things like offset language and bonus deferral? Bosa has proven them all to be big dumb morons.
The Chargers' Contract Impasse With Joey Bosa Just Got Uglier
The San Diego Chargers and third overall draft pick Joey Bosa still haven't agreed to a contract.…
Bosa made the third start of his career yesterday, and spent the game bullying the Atlanta Falcons' offensive line and making Matt Ryan's life hell. Bosa sacked Ryan twice during his team's 33-30 overtime win, and he now has four sacks on the season. He's shown himself to be the kind of edge rusher that can bully his blocker off the line:
And also slip right by his man, almost untouched:
Pro Football Focus has given Bosa a grade of 86 through his first three games, which makes him the second-highest rated edge rusher in the NFL. He already has 20 total quarterback pressures and is on pace to enter The J.J. Watt Zone despite having missed the first four games of the season.
The Chargers are now 3-4 in a division that seems much more winnable than it did before the Broncos dropped two straight. Who knows if Bosa would have been able to swing another game or two into the win column if the Chargers had gotten him on the field sooner, but it's impossible to overstate how monumentally dumb it was for this team to rob itself of Bosa's talent for the first quarter of the season.
Whatever else the Chargers are, they are a team with a great quarterback and a defensive end who can disrupt an entire offensive scheme all by himself. The last decade or so of the NFL has been a lesson in just how ridiculously valuable those types of players are, and it's not impossible to believe that Bosa and Philip Rivers can lead the Chargers on a surprise playoff push. If they fall short, the front office will have nobody to blame but themselves for those four Bosa-less games.

Our Harry High Pants Pram Liner sets include the matching harness covers. They are reversible and will fit any pram/stroller, highchair, trolley etc. with a 3 or 5 point harness - providing the harness straps undo for the liner to be threaded on (which is the vast majority of all prams/strollers on the market).
Harry High Pants Pram Liners have a 100% premium designer cotton outer front and back and a 12mm foam core. The foam core has been treated with antibacterial protection also.
Harry High Pants Liners are machine washable and hold their shape/are anti-slip, unlike many other liners on the market This is what sets our liners apart from competitors - unlike nylon or cotton wadding which is like putting a pillow in the wash - it separates and loses shape quickly. The foam inner we use is designed to withstand wear and tear and receive commercial cleaning so will withstand many years of wriggly bottoms and repeated washes.


So this idea has been floating around for a while, that the Na'vi are a highly advanced post-industrial civilization that has forgotten its past. One that uses biological technology and that Ewya is some kind of control system.
Well,Sounded very complicated for me,I really dont think that this theory is exact but there can be some truth in it.We all know how the Na'vi look at industialization and technological improvements.
This theory can be approved if it was like this,the Na'vi was gone too far with technology and industry so they started to threaten the balance of Pandora(toxic gases,nuclear threats,toxic wastes etc.) And making wars between the clans.And the Eywa,As their control system and deity ''pulled the plug'' of their current civilization.An end of the world so to speak.To protect the balance of the planet and make the Na'vi to go back to square one.And this event IS The First Songs I guess.The first songs from Eywa that Na'vi heard after their ''plug pulling''.This is the way I think.
BTW This could be a really nice fanfic thought!
I'm not a fan of the idea. It's leads to the premise that the life on Pandora was intelligently designed by the Na'vi who for some reason forgot about it some where along the line of their history.
The thing is if you think about it, you can sort of understand how the evolution of life on Pandora could have happened naturally. The ability to communicate directly the way Pandoran life is able to could have been an evolutionary advantage. Hence the Na'vi are able to interact with direhorses and ikran, but also the tree of souls and/or the tree of voices and the various fauna of Pandora is able to pass along electrical signals.
It's because they're able to interact with not only animals but the trees that I think this ability had to have developed really REALLY early on in the history of life on Pandora. Like before there was a clear distinct split between plant and animal life.
I don't think Eywa is a control system created by a technological civilization, I think it's the intelligence that formed from the communicative ability of the plant-life on Pandora. In other words, I think the Pandoran forests are a giant brain made up of trees instead of what we think of as brain cells.
@Exoblade Interesting theory, this could really work as a spin off/fan fiction.
If the Na'vi were an advanced civilisation once (similar to the humans), Eywa would instantly recognize the destructive behavior of the humans and their threat to her existence just shortly after their arrival.
The RDA mines and destroys Pandora for many years, yet Eywa is completely unaware of the danger. But after Eywa eventually gets access to the information in grace's mind, she instantly understands the problem (=the intentions of Quaritch and Selfridge) and eventually starts to actively fight against the humans. For me, Eywa's naive behavior is clear evidence that the humans are in fact the first and only contact with an advanced civilisation.
For the question of who is controlling who, Eywa is clearly able to control (Talioang, Nantang, Ikran, Angtsik) or influence (Palulukan) inferior life forms.
Jake is probably the first human to connect with Eywa (Tree of Voices/Utral Aymokriyä scene in the movie). If Eywa had the ability to control the Na'vi, she would also be able to access the Avatar's memories and get to the same conclusion even before Grace's death, and likely intervene earlier.

Their cobbled lanes are useless for cars, their castles have terrible insulation, and their Baroque buildings cost a fortune to maintain. But, on this adventure, you discover that the beauty of these Eastern European features outweighs the impracticalities. You descend tiny history-soaked staircases in the fortresses of Transylvania, wander through ancient lanes crammed with bars and books in Brasov, and look over churches and spires from the ridges of the Bucegi Mountains. Find out that being beautiful is more important than being useful on this trip through Eastern Europe's historic wonders.
Your adventure begins in the Hungarian capital of Budapest where you'll meet your fantastic Busabout guide for an orientation of the city! Marvel at the Fisherman's Bastion and explore this ivory fortress with scenic views of the city from the Buda bank of the Danube. See the imposing Citadella upon Gellert Hill, built by the Austrian Empire in the 18th century. This fortress still has armaments on display and fantastic panoramic views of the city, so make sure you bring your camera! Explore the city centre, then it's time to check out the infamous and world-renowned ruin bars. We'll have a few drinks and get the party started in our unique surroundings, and celebrate the first night of an epic adventure!
We check out after breakfast. Hope you had a great time exploring the East with us!

Q: deserialize json file with base64 encoded file attachments I am trying to deserialize base64 file attachments from JSON file using JSON.NET. I can deserialize the data using the following code but I am not sure how to decode the base64 files. Please let me know.
Sample JSON file
-----------------
PostData: {
  "Main":{
     "date1": "14-JAN-2016",
     "summary": "summary test",
     "Details":[{
       "first": "test",
       "last": "last test",
        },
      ]}
     "attachments":[        {
       "title": "Report1.pdf",
       "file_name": "Report1.pdf",
       "file_content_type": "application/pdf",
       "file_format": "binary",
       "file_data": "JVBERi0xLjQNCjUgMCBvYmoNCjw8DQovVHlwZSAvWE9iamVjdA0KL1N1YnR5cGUg
        MSAwIFIvSW5mbyAxMjYgMCBSL0lEWzw0NTQ3QjRFREZBNjk2NDQ4QjhBNUU4MUQw

        CiUlRU9G",
        },
        {
       "title": "src.txt",
       "file_name": "src.txt",
       "file_content_type": "text/plain",
       "file_format": "text",
       "file_data": "bm5gLDJ9NC1DNFkpN20y4tLmM0",
        },
  ]}
}

Program.cs
var json = System.IO.File.ReadAllText("postData.json");
var myJsonObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<PostData>(json);

    public class PostData
    {
        public Main main { get; set; }
    }

    public class Main
    {

        public string date1 { get; set; }
        public string summary { get; set; }
        public List<Details> details { get; set; }
    }

  public class Details
    {
        public string first { get; set; }
        public string last { get; set; }
    }

A: As explained in its Serialization Guide, Json.NET automatically (de)serializes Byte [] arrays as Base64 strings.  Thus, after cleaning up your JSON you can upload it to http://json2csharp.com/ to auto-generate classes, then modify the file_data property to be of type byte [] with the result shown below:
public class Detail
{
    public string first { get; set; }
    public string last { get; set; }
}

public class Main
{
    public string date1 { get; set; }
    public string summary { get; set; }
    public List<Detail> Details { get; set; }
}

public class Attachment
{
    public string title { get; set; }
    public string file_name { get; set; }
    public string file_content_type { get; set; }
    public string file_format { get; set; }
    public byte [] file_data { get; set; }
}

public class PostData
{
    public Main Main { get; set; }
    public List<Attachment> attachments { get; set; }
}

Now you can deserialize as follows:
var myJsonObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(json);

Then, to save the deserialized byte arrays to disk, you could do something like the following with File.WriteAllBytes()
foreach (var attachment in myJsonObject.PostData.attachments ?? Enumerable.Empty<Attachment>())
{
    File.WriteAllBytes(attachment.file_name, attachment.file_data);
}

The name of the game says it all – Disney Magic Kingdoms will take you to another fantasy place where Disney characters will have to save the world once again. But what else does the game have for us?
Just like most other Disney productions Disney Magic Kingdoms comes with a long story behind that we will make a short one. In a few words there was a happy kingdom somewhere but unfortunately it became a victim of an evil sorceress. The kingdom is now under her evil spell and your task is to defeat the evil woman and free the kingdom by beating her curse. You will do this by playing as Mickey Mouse but a bit later you will be able to unlock more Disney characters that will help you along the way. The gameplay consists of numerous quests that you must fulfill in order and with each one of them you make a small step towards the kingdom liberation. The app is also full of options and features that allow you to upgrade Mickey, manage certain magical resources and more. Disney Magic Kingdoms also features really nice 3D visuals and nice music so you will not be disappointed here. In fact the visual and sound quality is what you would expect to see from a Disney production so there are no problems here.
Regrettably, Disney Magic Kingdoms has problems in several other areas. We will start with the installation process – the game is around 84 MB in size and this makes it a game that requires some space. The problem is that once you install this free Android game you will have to wait on the app to check its files for consistency, which takes some time, and then the game will download additional content before you can even start it. In addition the gameplay is linear and it feels like "go there, do that" all the time. After a while the fun is gone.
To sum it up Disney Magic Kingdoms is a nice Disney game that will appeal to fans of this famous cartoon movie studio. The game has many positive sides such as the graphics and the sound but it also has its fair share of problems. In any case the app will be liked by children who love Disney's characters so there's nothing wrong with this. But if you expect more serious gameplay and features chances are you will be disappointed so no wonder then that Disney Magic Kingdoms comes with a PEGI 3 rating.
Disney Magic Kingdoms is here on Google Play. Enjoy!


[New for 2013] When New Orleans ice cream company released the news that they were releasing a Mardi Gras Pie flavor this year, I was hoping they might contact me for a free sampling. Well, to my great amusement, they did, and now it's time to show you what they sent over.
This may sound dumb, but I love the blue. I need to remember it for when I start up my ice cream company. Anyway, New Orleans Mardi Gras Pie ice cream is "Mardi Gras in your mouth with this parade favorite - gooey marshmallow ice cream with marshmallow swirl, chocolate flakes & soft graham cracker. you'll be hollerin': "throw me one, mister!". That is one mighty description to have to live up to.
I cant help myself, I take my first bite... and taste coconut?? what? I check the ingredients and there's a bit of coconut oil in the chocolate flakes but that's it. This is so weird. I don't taste marshmallow, I taste coconut! bummer!!
Now don't lose hope. Let me say this again: I love the way this one looks. Sure, I expected more graham bits (I always do), but I still love the look of them and the various chocolate chips everywhere. It's just classic and so captivating.
Ok, we have confirmation, my wife tastes coconut too (the difference is she doesn't care). It's not super strong or anything, but I can't convince myself that I taste otherwise. You could tell me this was coconut cream pie ice cream and I'd be like "umm, ok, nice job". As a marshmallow flavor though, I'm kind of at a loss for words. It's a real nice ice cream, I'm just totally confused right now. Well, somewhat confused because to be honest, I could go for another bowl of it right now. Good ice cream is good ice cream, no matter what the flavor is (within reason).
On Second Pint: My wife happily finished off the first pint, so let's take a crack at the second pint and we'll just see what happens. I made a point to go real slow yet I still think I taste a hint of coconut, but I think I know why. Somehow the marshmallow and graham have melded together to give this mellow, sweet coconut vibe. This pint has even more marshmallow swirl than the last so I wound up getting more of a gooey vibe this time. I want to apologize for my taste buds being confused on this one. This is an interesting flavor, my wife loves it, but to be honest I preferred this combination when it was balanced with some strawberry in their Baked Alaska.
Buy Again? Mrs. Dubba says yes!
On a note completely unrelated to ice cream but on the topic of graham flavored things, Land O'Lakes has a graham cracker flavored hot chocolate mix that tastes just like coconut. I taste no graham. I freaking love it, though.

Man arrested for selling rectified spirit in Dinajpur
Md Faruk Hossain, Dinajpur
Published at 10:07 am June 20th, 2020
The man has been illegally selling rectified spirit for a long time and covered up this activity with homeopathy medicine business
Police arrested a man accused in a case filed for selling rectified spirit which led to the death of 10 people including a married couple in Dinajpur's Birampur upazila.
The accused Rafiqul Islam was arrested from his home in Purba Jagannathpur area of the upazila on Friday around 11:30pm, said Birampur police station's OC Md Moniruzzaman.
