We needed to develop a pre and in-season promotional campaign for the Game of Thrones season 6 to reinforce Game of Thrones' position as an epic, must-see television event by increasing the buzz and hype around the premiere, and reach and activate fans during the whole season.
GoT is the most unpredictable series in television history. And from this season the only source of the sequel is HBO since book has not been published yet. We built our concept around all the unpredictable goings-on GoT provides and created a great and challenging game for all GoT fans in 7 CEE countries called BATTLE OF ODDS. An exciting and unique platform where they became a part of a great community and competed with each other for the title of the Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and of course for cool GoT prizes.
◊Provide their phone number for a 1 month HBO GO subscription, which generated leads for HBO.

Civil War : America 's Historical Consciousness
Civil War : America 's Historical Consciousness Essay
Civil War The war that changed America.The Civil War is the central event in America 's historical consciousness. While the Revolution of 1776-1783 created the United States, the Civil War of 1861-1865 determined what kind of nation it would be. The Civil War started because of uncompromising differences between the free and slave states over the power of the national government to prohibit slavery in the territories that had not yet become states.The Civil War took place in several different places they fought , from southern Pennsylvania to Texas; from New Mexico to the Florida coast. Most of the fighting took place in the states of Virginia and Tennessee. The war finally ended in Spring, 1865.The civil war was a defining moment in America. It finished servitude, prompted military advancements, and how the North won the war.
The civil war led to many military innovations. Some innovations that were developed were naval mines, torpedoes, gatline gun, long range weapons and the minie bullet. These innovations came in handy for the north and the south during the the war.
Naval mines were developed by the confederates in hopes of counteracting the Union's blockades of Southern ports. Mies and later following torpedoes were very effective they sunk about 40 Union ships.These mines were so successful that it led to creation of landmines and grenades which were used in later wars.

Levittown Wildcats Win Their Third Consecutive State Open Cup
June 15, 2017-In an intriguing match-up between two Long Island Junior Soccer League (LIJSL) teams on Sunday, June 4 at Stringham Park in LaGrange, the Levittown Wildcats shut out the Stony Brook Crew, 1-0, to win the Girls-Under-15 State Open Championship. This is Levittown's third consecutive state title.
As Girls-Under-15 champs, Levittown brings the Jack Bauman Cup back to Long Island. The namesake of the cup is considered the father of women's soccer on the island. Jack was devoted to the Massapequa Soccer Club, the Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) and making sure that girls had as many opportunities to play soccer as boys did.
Kira Olivos scored the game's only goal off an assist by Olivia Pearse while goalkeepers Jackie Testamark and Katlyn Villacres shared the shutout in net.
"Our fitness and team play made the difference against a very tough opponent. Everybody contributed to the win," explained Levittown assistant coach Collin Testamark.
Levittown also received the Rocco Amoroso Sportsmanship Award as determined by the game officials. Amoroso, a US Soccer Life Member who died last year, started the LIJSL Sportsmanship Program in 1980 and it spread to Eastern New York, nationally and then to China and Ireland, and in the process, made soccer games kinder and gentler.
Levittown will represent Eastern New York at the Regionals from June 30 to July 4 in Spotsylvania, Virginia.

Nokia has a long history of successful change and innovation, adapting to shifts in markets and technologies. From its humble beginning with one paper mill, the company has participated in many sectors over time: cables, paper products, tires, rubber boots, consumer and industrial electronics, plastics, chemicals, telecommunications infrastructure and more. Most recently, Nokia has been best known for its revolutionary wireless communication technologies, which have connected billions of people through networks and mobile phones.
Nokia's history dates back to 1865, when mining engineer Fredrik Idestam set up his first wood pulp mill at the Tammerkoski Rapids in Southern Finland. A few years later he opened a second mill on the banks of the Nokianvirta river, inspiring him to name his company Nokia Ab in 1871.
In 1967, we took our current form as Nokia Corporation as a result of the merger of Idestam's Nokia AB; Finnish Rubber Works, a manufacturer of rubber boots, tires and other rubber products founded in 1898; and Finnish Cable Works Ltd, a manufacturer of telephone and power cables founded in 1912. The new Nokia Corporation had five businesses: rubber, cable, forestry, electronics and power generation.
Nokia first entered the telecommunications equipment market in 1960 when an electronics department was established at Finnish Cable Works to concentrate on the production of radio-transmission equipment. Regulatory and technological reforms have played a role in our success. Deregulation of the European telecommunicationsindustries since the late 1980s has stimulated competition and boosted customer demand.
In 1982, we introduced the first fully-digital local telephone exchange in Europe, and, in the same year, the world's first car phone for the Nordic Mobile Telephone analog standard. The technological breakthrough of GSM, which made more efficient use of frequencies and had greater capacity in addition to high-quality sound, was followed by the European resolution in 1987 to adopt GSM as the European digital standard by July 1, 1991. The first GSM call was made with a Nokia phone over the Nokia-built network of a Finnish operator called Radiolinja in 1991, and in the same year Nokia won contracts to supply GSM networks in other European countries.
In the early 1990s, we made a strategic decision to make telecommunications our core business, with the goal of establishing leadership in every major global market. Basic industry and nontelecommunications operations—including the paper, personal computer, rubber, footwear, chemicals, power plant, cable, aluminum and television businesses—were divested between 1989 and 1996. By 1998, Nokia was the world leader in mobile phones, a position it enjoyed for more than a decade.
In 2006, Nokia, which had already been investing in its mapping capabilities for many years, acquired Gate5, a mapping software specialist, and then in 2008 NAVTEQ, the US-based maker of digital mapping and navigational software. In December 2012, Nokia's mapping and location services were rebranded as HERE, and the business remained with Nokia until 2015. That year, Nokia announced the sale of HERE to a consortium of leading automotive companies, with the deal closing on December 4, 2015.
In 2007, Nokia combined its telecoms infrastructure operations with those of Siemens to create the Nokia Siemens Network joint venture, a leading global telecommunications infrastructure provider with a focus on innovative mobile broadband technology and services.
In 2011, Nokia joined forces with Microsoft to strengthen its position in the highly competitive smartphone market. Nokia adopted the Windows Phone operating system for smart devices and, through their strategic partnership, Nokia and Microsoft set about establishing an alternative ecosystem to rivals iOS and Android. In 2011, Nokia also started to make a number of changes to its operations and company culture that would, in the course of the next two years, lead to shortened product development times, improved product quality and better responsiveness to market demand.
In 2013, Nokia moved to reinvent itself with two transformative transactions. The first was the purchase of Siemens' stake in NSN, which was nearing the end of a deep restructuring and remarkable transformation. The second was the announcement of the sale of substantially all of Nokia's Devices & Services business to Microsoft. The Microsoft transaction was originally announced on September 3, 2013 and was completed on April 25, 2014.
In April 2015, Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent announced their intention to combine to create an innovation leader in next generation technology and services for an IP connected world. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2016. The combined company will have unparalleled innovation capabilities, with Alcatel-Lucent's Bell Labs and Nokia's FutureWorks, as well as Nokia Technologies, which will stay as a separate entity with a clear focus on licensing and the incubation of new technologies.


Harrier pilot Lt Chris Roy is airborne again – this time in US Marine Corps jump jets – as part of the long-term programme to prepare for the arrival of the Lightning II strike fighter.
The Scotsman is on a three-and-a-half-year exchange with the squadron which trains American pilots for front-line duties with the Corps.
If you never expected to see a Fleet Air Arm aviator in the cockpit of a Harrier again, take another look.
In the rear – instructor's – cockpit of a two-seat jump jet is Lt Chris Roy, passing on his expertise to a student US Marine Corps pilot.
And at the same time, the Fleet Air Arm aviator is keeping his hand in at fast jet flying as part of a wide-ranging exchange programme with the US military to help both countries prepare for the arrival of Harrier's successor, the F35 Lightning II.
Although the Harrier was retired in the UK following 2010's defence review, the AV8B variant continues to fly with the Spanish, Italians and especially the US Marine Corps (who intend to operate the jump jet until the end of nextdecade).
Chris – a veteran of both the RN and RAF variants of the Harrier – is six months into a three-and-a-half year draft with Marine Attack Training Squadron 203 (VMAT-203), which feeds the US Marine Corps' front-line squadrons with freshly-qualified pilots.
"For me, it's a great opportunity. It's a great plan that our two militaries have put together, and it's fantastic to be right in the middle of it," Chris enthuses.
The first Fleet Air Arm and RAF F35 pilots are training with their US counterparts at Eglin Air Base in Florida, ground crews are learning how to maintain a strike fighter which is two generations ahead of the Harrier, other RN aviators are flying Hornets with the US military, and handlers are gaining vital experience on the expansive decks of American flat-tops.
These hands across the ocean are all to help Britain return to the big carrier game with the arrival of HMS Queen Elizabeth so the two navies can work side-by-side on operations.
"It is my job to learn as much as I can while I'm here so, when my time at 203 is done, I can return to the UK and take the lessons I have learnt from the US Marine Corps to our F35 force," Chris said.
His squadron – known as the Hawks – is normally based at Cherry Point in North Carolina, but decamped for a fortnight to Yuma in Arizona, a proverbial stone's throw from the Mexican border, for weapons and tactics training.
"In Yuma, the flying is fantastic. The weather here is great, and the range complex is the best I have ever seen," he said.
His six months attached to the Hawks has not merely refreshed his fast jet skills but given him an insight into the ethos of the semper fi guys.
"There is a common goal when it comes to Marine Corps aviation. That common goal is to support their marine brothers and sisters on the ground," he explains.

Q: Generate ListViewItems from XML Resource Because I can not use PreferenceFragment in Android 2.2 I want to create a ListView from an XML source and display it in a normal Fragment. I have this XML lyout:
<PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
    <CheckBoxPreference
            android:summary="This is a CheckBox"
            android:title="CheckBox"
            android:defaultValue="false" />
</PreferenceScreen>

Is it possible to create a ListView from this? I think the method addPreferencesFromResource from PreferenceActivity does the same but how does this work?

A: extends PreferenceActivity
    ...
    // fragments are not used at all and we instead, use the older
    // PreferenceActivity APIs.

    // Add 'notifications' preferences, and a corresponding header.
    addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.pref_general);

    // Add 'notifications' preferences, and a corresponding header.
    PreferenceCategory fakeHeader = new PreferenceCategory(this);
    fakeHeader.setTitle(R.string.pref_header_notifications);
    getPreferenceScreen().addPreference(fakeHeader);
    addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.pref_notification);

    // Add 'data and sync' preferences, and a corresponding header.
    fakeHeader = new PreferenceCategory(this);
    fakeHeader.setTitle(R.string.pref_header_data_sync);
    getPreferenceScreen().addPreference(fakeHeader);
    addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.pref_data_sync);

    // Bind the summaries of EditText/List/Dialog/Ringtone preferences to
    // their values. When their values change, their summaries are updated
    // to reflect the new value, per the Android Design guidelines.

Students from around the country are interested in engaging our generation in discussion of peaceful solutions to some of the world's greatest problems, and in taking action. We are organizing a march across the United States over the summer of 2007 to raise awareness about the need for peace and to unite people in a discussion of how we can take action and solve problems nonviolently. The grand march will be from San Francisco, California to Washington, D.C.
The March for Peace is an anti-war march. In the face of the United States at war just as the people of the 1960s were, our generation is comparatively silent. Now is the time to change that by speaking out and taking action. Joining the March for Peace, submitting peace manifestos and coming to the rally in Omaha shows opposition to the war in Iraq and to all war efforts globally. In addition to speaking out against the present wars, supporters of the March for Peace commit to nonviolent resistance to all war efforts unconditionally. The March for Peace is an anti-draft-registration movement and supporters are committed to nonviolence regardless of circumstances - committed to resisting war efforts consistently.
The March for Peace is designed to draw attention to the need for genuine service, not military "service." It seeks to reconsider the meaning of the word service, to recognize that participation in military endeavors directly counteracts the goals of true service, and to advocate for active global service.
The March for Peace calls for immediate nonviolent assistance to countries facing crisis. We can no longer sit back and watch countries that are war-torn, oppressed by genocide or stricken with disease and poverty to go on alone in their struggles. The March for Peace calls for global compassion and immediate increase in financial and humanitarian aid to countries in need. We call for selfless giving, not partial help or offerings of loans that result only in oppressive debts.
The March for Peace is particularly focused on the present situation in Darfur, as genocide is taking place right before our 21st century eyes. In the Darfur region, the Sudanese government is arming Janjaweed militias to systematically exterminate all non-Arab Darfurians. Over 400,000 have already been killed, while others continue to be brutally tortured and raped. Living conditions in sparse refugee camps is dismal, and humanitarian and monetary aid is limited.
One of the principle goals of the March for Peace is to raise awareness of this issue, raise funds to support assistance, and provide a network of activists united in working towards solutions.
The March for Peace calls for the end of social and economic inequality. Marching for peace shows an unwillingness to perpetuate systems of inequality, social hierarchy, and oppressive governmental mandates. Peace marchers refuse to be involved in war and prepare for civil disobedience.
The March for Peace is in opposition to nuclear weapon holding and proliferation for any purpose. Peace marchers do not simply advocate for the control of nuclear weaponry, but we demand the end of nuclear weaponry. We do not stand for the "responsible" holding of nuclear weapons by certain powerful countries, but for the universal surrender of arms.
The March for Peace is in support of increased environmental sustainability globally, as this is inextricably connected to global peace. The March for Peace advocates and demands the immediate transition to renewable and sustainable energy sources such as wind, solar and geothermal energy. We recognize the urgency of global warming and march in demand that the United States signs on to the Kyoto Protocol, limiting carbon emissions and setting a precedent of environmental regard. Marching for peace means advocating for a change in worldview: coming to view the world as connected and ourselves as responsible citizens of the earth, not self-centered citizens of a particular country.
The issues listed above are many and broad, but they are all addressed under the single framework of peace. Resisting war efforts, promoting equality, and living sustainably all work towards peace. March for it.

Blunt Opinions Written In A Stream of Consciousness
Video Game Review: PokeMMO
September 15, 2018 September 16, 2018 elliot
Details: More information can be found at https://pokemmo.eu/
Many years ago, I played a game called PokeMMO. I quit because I thought Nintendo would shut it down, but they didn't. So I revisited the game and decided to write this review. PokeMMO is a fan made massive multiplayer online that (as of this time) allows players to play Pokemon Fire Red/Leaf Green, Emerald, and Black/White, in a single, seamless world where players can interact with each other.
I think the first thing that needs to be discusses is the legality of this thing. Is it legal to play this game? I have no idea. I googled the subject for five minutes and random search results from the internet who say that in America, it is legal to emulate video games so long as you own a copy of the actual game. I didn't bother looking up the European law though the homepage for the game is on a European domain. I have read that Nintendo often sends cease and desist letters to fan made projects, which usually shuts them down. No idea if this game received something like that.
The installation of PokeMMO requires downloading the client side program and obtaining a imaged copy (or rom) of Pokemon Fire Red, Emerald, Heart Gold or Soul Silver, and Black or White. It is on this theory that PokeMMO shrugs off liability. They place the blame onto players who own the rom… at least in their own minds.
Furthermore, they claim they don't make money from the program, but they do take donations… so I don't know. Making money off other people copyrighted material is usually illegal… or so the random internet search results have told me.
In any case, this game is still alive and Nintendo has not shut this thing down. I guess players can continue enjoying it until then.
PokeMMO is essentially Pokemon Fire Red/Leaf Green, Emerald, and Black/White. In other words, that's the Kanto region, the Hoenn region, and the Unova region. Each region retains the visual style or their respective games. Battles in all regions retain the visual style established in Pokemon Black/White.
Personally, my favorite parts of the game was simply going through the single player story again. You can do that here and just take a boat ride to the next region whenever you're done with one region. Players should be aware however that it's not that easy to farm in this game as in the originals. PokeMMO allows rematches but scales trainers, gym leaders and the elite four Pokemon levels to the level of the Pokemon in your team. I don't think this happens during the first play through. There are also level caps so that if you go to a new region, you can only use Pokemon of a level matching the badges you have earned in that region. You can't bring an overleveled Pokemon to a new region and dominate all the gym leaders. There are also level caps at work that prevent your Pokemon from leveling above what you can control. For example, if you do not defeat the elite four in a region, you can only level you Pokemon to level 56. Once you do defeat the elite four, you can then level past that and all the experience you earned under that level cap goes into effect at once so you don't lose any experience while under the level cap.
The biggest change from the originals is the multiplayer aspect. You actively see players walking around during the game and you can challenge anyone at any time. You can also participate with tournaments with other players as well in many different forms. You can play free level or only level 50's, or doubles or singles.
Which leads to what really makes PokeMMO special: the meta game. Most people play Pokemon casually, but there are the devoted few who play Pokemon competitively and know the intricacies of the game. This competitive level requires knowledge of breeding, IV's, EV's, abilities, natures, move sets, team composition and more. PokeMMO makes many quality of life changes that makes tackling these game mechanics easier. On the other hand, it also makes some changes more in line with the MMO genre in that trying to play competitive can be a time-consuming grind. For example, creating a guaranteed Pokemon with perfect IV's takes a ton of money and time. Legendaries also aren't truly implemented because they're too powerful and Pokemon moves and stats are mirrored after the generation VII meta game, though not everything is implemented. Regardless, if you want to play competitive Pokemon, PokeMMO is one of the best places to go.
With all of that said, this game is still far from being complete. This game is a perpetual work in progress. Kanto, Hoenn, and Unova are currently implemented, but Sinnoh is supposedly coming and there are many Pokemon who are not implemented yet.
Overall, this is a really fun experience and the perfect format to revisit old Pokemon games. There are lots wrong and missing from this game (including the debatable legality), but it is still really fun.

The Feehery Theory
John Feehery: Speaking Engagements
Sam-Scam
Michael Sam
They fall for it every time.
Those in the media who decide what is and what isn't news can't help themselves.
Anything that has anything to do with the gay community has to immediately become a national issue.
So, of course, this stupid bill in Arizona had the feel of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Will we go to Def Con 4? Will she sign or veto the bill?
This isn't exactly war and peace here my friends.
Jack Burkman, the lobbyist provocateur, understands this dynamic.
I don't know Jack Burkman, personally.
I have watched him on the local Fox News Affiliate, spouting off on all kinds of political issues. Burkman plays a right-wing nut-case conservative on television.
He doesn't look like he really believes anything he says. But he mouths the lamest of quotes because he wants to play the role.
Burkman announced to the media that he is preparing to introduce legislation to ban football players from playing in the NFL.
Of course, that is all ridiculous. Private citizens can't introduce their own pieces of legislation in the House or the Senate.
That's the job of members of Congress and of the Senate.
Burkman assures the media that he has plenty of members of both the House and the Senate to introduce the anti-gay NFL Act (or whatever he calls it) on his behalf, but he just can't quite share their names yet.
You know why he won't tell us who is introducing the Burkman Act? Because he doesn't have anybody to introduce the Burkman Act! It's all a scam.
The media, of course, falls for it, hook-line-and-sinker.
Because too many folks in the media are complete idiots.
Burkman gets to be famous and he is laughing all the way to the bank.
Apparently, he wants to be a talk radio host. I don't think he will be hired by ESPN (or A&E, for that matter). But there is plenty of space in the talk radio universe for scam artists.
Jack Burkman is known around town as the guy who signs up a lot of lobbying clients.
I am in the business of getting that lobbying business and I know how hard it can be.
I don't know Burkman's business model, but my guess is that he takes an un-traditional approach.
My guess is that he uses the same tactics that he used to fool those titans of the media.
It's called a scam.
Because he is using his latest PR stunt to play off the announcement that Michael Sam will be the first openly gay Member of the NFL, let's just call it a Sam-Scam.
It's alarming how easy it is for someone like Jack Burkman to manipulate the news to get himself famous.
His next stop? I would say "Celebrity Apprentice." After all, he's a celebrity now.

YANGON — As Myanmar prepares to mark the 71st anniversary of Martyrs' Day on Thursday, The Irrawaddy memorializes a number of individuals who committed their lives to causes for the good of the country. While the list is inspired by Gen Aung San and his eight colleagues assassinated on July 19, 1947, we admit that there are many others we are unable to mention below, due to constraints of time, space and information. They also deserve honor for their merit.


I met a wonderful person the other day. His name is Ira Dickinson, and he is a true gentleman. A cowboy to the core, Ira is all boots and spurs, with a warm personality and a heart of gold. The best part about Ira--he is only 9 years old.
Fifty miles from the closest town, the Dickinson family lives and works on their family-owned cattle operation in the Southwest corner of Wyoming. Fifty miles from anywhere, the Dickinsons raise cattle, build a family and count their blessings. Marc and Gerda and children, Kate, Ira and Ian Dickinson are a close-knit family, built on strong values that are long lost from today's busy society.
The children are home-schooled on their family's ranch, working outside between class lessons to earn their own calves to show in 4-H. The children take part in every aspect of cattle production—branding, weaning, sorting, shipping, daily chores and fixing fence. The family's cattle business has been around since the late 1800's, and today there are still three generations, working side-by-side on the ranch.
What's special about this ranching family is their true generosity. Every year, the children donate their steer premiums to a worthy cause. Oldest daughter, Kate, donates to the pediatric unit of a hospital where her youngest brother was treated for a serious illness.
In Ira's first year of showing cattle, Ira had a steer named "Casey" after his uncle and fellow cattleman who passed away from Melanoma this past Christmas. And, in a generous gift to the beef industry and our nation's troops, Ira donated his first $500 from his steer to the All-American Beef Battalion.
Ira presented the check to AABB member and Superior Livestock representative, Kelly Kunzler, on Oct. 24, 2008, when they shipped their calves.
I was truly touched when talking with Ira and his family, and it's not often you come across such giving and wonderful people as the Dickinson family. May we all follow suit and find the spirit of giving and generosity in this holiday season.

With opportunities abound, Ole Miss set to begin key road stretch
By Davis Potter
Ole Miss coach Mike Bianco talks with catcher Cooper Johnson and pitcher David Parkinson during a college baseball game against Missouri at Oxford-University Stadium in Oxford, Miss., Sunday, April 23, 2017. (Photo/Thomas Graning)
Regardless of the circumstances surrounding it, Ole Miss coach Mike Bianco has preached to his team all season the importance of using blinders, a cliché often thrown around to remind players to focus on the next game rather than what's coming afterward.
"That's what we're about," infielder Nick Fortes said. "That's what Coach B always preaches, and we try not to look ahead because the next game is always the one that matters. That's kind of how we're looking at it."
It's useful during a 56-game regular season, but there are only so many chances in a season that's growing shorter.
Ole Miss has just 16 games left before the Southeastern Conference Tournament to try to boost its postseason resume starting Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. in the Governor's Cup against No. 10 Mississippi State, which swept the Rebels (25-15, 9-9 Southeastern Conference) in the teams' series earlier this season. It starts a stretch where Ole Miss will play seven top-19 RPI opponents in nine games, all on the road.
Ole Miss will travel to Fayetteville on Wednesday for a series at No. 15 Arkansas starting Thursday. The Rebels will return to Swayze Field next Tuesday for a pair of midweek games against Louisiana-Monroe before heading to No. 9 Florida next weekend.
"The truth is there are only 16 games," said Bianco, whose team is a combined 5-8 in road and neutral-site games. "It doesn't really matter if they are home or away, you've got to win them. And you've got to win as many as you can."
Playing stiff competition within the league isn't anything new for the Rebels, who have already played Eastern Division leader Kentucky and No. 13 LSU in addition to Mississippi State, but Ole Miss has only two combined wins against those teams. The Rebels, who sit at No. 40 in the RPI following their series win over Missouri, have four top-25 RPI wins and are just 6-11 against the top 50.
It leaves Ole Miss needing more quality wins down the stretch if it wants the season to extend beyond Hoover come late May.
The Rebels have just 12 SEC games left in the regular season — the Governor's Cup doesn't count toward the league standings — and likely need to win at least half of those to solidify an at-large berth in the NCAA Tournament. D1Baseball.com has Ole Miss projected as a 3 seed in the Morgantown (West Virginia) Regional while Baseball America doesn't have the Rebels among the field of 64 in its latest projections, both of which were released before last weekend's games.
"We've got to get some wins not only because they're really good teams but also because it's on the road," Fortes said. "We've done really well at home and kind of struggled a little bit on the road, so I think it would be good not only to beat really good teams but in their place as well."
Only five of Ole Miss' remaining games are at home with the only league series left at Swayze coming against Texas A&M May 12-14. The Rebels will end the regular season at Auburn, another top-10 team.
" I think that's the beauty of the SEC in baseball is you've got to show up every weekend," Bianco said. "Certainly if we take care of our business and win our games, then we'll be in good shape at the end of the season. But like every season, you've got to finish and you've got to win your games."
Same rotation
With the short week, Bianco said the weekend rotation will stay the same with reigning SEC Freshman of the Week Ryan Rolison getting the ball against Arkansas on Friday and David Parkinson closing the series out Saturday. James McArthur will start the series opener Thursday.
Rolison's start against Missouri was bumped from Sunday to Saturday with David Parkinson, the Rebels' usual Saturday starter, coming down with a 24-hour stomach virus. Parkinson pitched Sunday, allowing four runs in 4 2/3 innings of Ole Miss' 9-6 win.
Dallas Woolfolk was still dealing with some shoulder tightness Monday that made him unavailable to pitch Sunday, but Bianco said his closer "will be fine" to throw against Mississippi State if needed.

Anaheim Ducks routed by Calgary Flames

PUBLISHED: December 5, 2016 at 1:25 a.m. | UPDATED: August 29, 2017 at 4:03 a.m.
CALGARY, Alberta >> At some point, it had to end. All streaks eventually do.
The Ducks still have their Honda Center streak over the Calgary Flames rolling, it now at 24 games. But they also hadn't lost to them at all since Game 3 of the 2015 Western Conference semifinals.
One six-minute flurry Sunday night allowed the Flames to release every bit of frustration that's built up in losses of all means and ways to the Ducks.
Eight different players scored for the Flames to snap an eight-game losing streak to the Ducks in an 8-3 blowout at Scotiabank Saddledome that made for a nightmarish 60 minutes for Jonathan Bernier and a brutal end to a three-game road trip.
It was certainly a wasted opportunity for the Ducks (12-9-5) to grab five out of six important points up for grabs against Pacific Division foes. But the manner in which the game spun out of their control was gruesome.
Ryan Kesler's goal early in the second period got the Ducks tied as the shutdown line delivered again in answering Johnny Gaudreau's first-period score in his first game back after breaking a bone in his pinky finger. It would be their only moment to relish.
Troy Brouwer scored to restore Calgary's lead at 11:28 of the second. And then the goals followed in rapid-fire fashion.
Alex Chiasson scored 52 seconds later. Matt Stajan tipped in a point shot 35 seconds after that. Three goals in 1 minute, 27 seconds. Nearly four minutes did pass without a goal until Sam Bennett chimed in. And then Dougie Hamilton followed with his just 55 seconds later.
Five unanswered goals in 6:04. All of them came on Bernier, who got the call as John Gibson played Saturday night in Edmonton. The situation might have called for Ducks coach Randy Carlyle to pull the veteran but Bernier stayed in, making only 17 saves on the 25 he faced.
Sean Monahan and Mark Giordano got in on Calgary's fun in the third. Kesler scored again to take back the goal scoring lead on the Ducks, getting his 11th. Logan Shaw added his first with them but those two goals only mattered to the scoreboard operator.

The dean of the Chicago City Council has vowed to take action to address the failure of Chicago Department of Aviation Commissioner Ginger S. Evans to abide by a Council order to appear at a public hearing at Hale Park.
The hearing, attended by about 100 Southwest Side homeowners and others, was held to address concerns about defective windows—which are emitting fumes that may possibly by poisonous--supplied to homeowners in recent years through the Department of Aviation's Residential Sound Improvement Program.
Some of the homeowners have been diagnosed with cancer in the years after their windows were installed. They continue to wonder if the odors coming from their windows are toxic or simply an aesthetic annoyance.
Frame responded that it was his understanding that Evans had a prior commitment that took her out of state.
Burke was not specific about what consequences Evans might face, but vowed that her failure to appear would be "taken up by the Council" in the near future.
The absent Evans also was criticized by some of the seven other aldermen in attendance, most notably 13th Ward Ald. Marty Quinn, 23rd Ward Ald. Michael R. Zalewski (chairman of the Committee on Aviation) and 15th Ward Ald. Raymond Lopez, who said he found it amazing that Evans, the highest paid official in all of city government at $400,000 a year—according to a published report—could not make time to be at a hearing she was ordered to attend.
The hearing, which normally would have been held at City Hall, was held in the neighborhood to better accommodate Southwest Side homeowners, Burke's press secretary said.
Many in the audience greeted Burke's comments with applause and similarly expressed incredulity about Evans.
Garfield Ridge resident Jennifer Gorszewski said she hopes Evans is held accountable for her absence.
Department of Aviation spokespersons declined to say where Evans was or if her out-of-state trip was personal or city business. But a day after she was absent from the City Council hearing at Hale Park, Evans publicly posted a glowing review of the $1,750-a-week Legends Townhome in the resort community of Bozeman, Montana.
Two days before the Aug. 23 City Council hearing, Evans tweeted about a photo she posted to Instagram. The photo was of dawn over the Grand Tetons mountains, in Wyoming. The tweet appears to indicate that Evans is there to view the solar eclipse.
A Southwest Chicago Post request for clarification after the meeting was responded to by a Department of Aviation spokesperson asking about the "focus" of the story. That was provided, and CDA did not respond after that.
The anger over Evans' absence almost overshadowed the ongoing concerns over RSIP windows. After the elected officials vented, a string of homeowners offered testimony about the windows in their homes.
The number of homeowners reporting problems continues to grow. Since the issue was first reported exclusively by the Southwest News-Herald in early June, the number has grown from four homeowners in the Chrysler Village section of Clearing to more than 80—in Clearing, Garfield Ridge, West Elsdon and West Lawn.
According to the CDA website, homeowners with questions about the sound-insulation windows and doors they had installed through the program should call (773) 838-5632.


Galatasaray University uses both ECTS and the national credit system in recognition of the workload realized within exchange programs. In accordance with the latest amendment of the law on Higher Education, the ECTS system will be the only valid system applied to all Galatasaray students as of academic year 2013-2014.
The European Credit and Transfer System (ECTS) is based upon the average workload realized by the student in order to accomplish the learning outcomes required by the curriculum.Learning outcomes include all the skills that determine what a student will have acquired in terms of knowledge, understanding and practice at the end of the program.
ECTS credits for each course are calculated according to the principles indicated in the ECTS manual on the basis of the student's workload (1 ECTS=25 working hours) and in a manner that 60 ECTS credits correspond to the full-time work accomplished in one academic year. ECTS credits indicated in the course catalogue and those obtained within an exchange program are automatically recognized.
The workload taken as a basis to calculate ECTS credits includes the time necessary to accomplish all the activities related to education such as participation in courses, seminars or practical applications, preparation of homeworks or projects, oral presentations, written memoirs, preparation for and participation in examinations, etc.
In order to determine the ECTS credits of a course, the objectives, learning outcomes and the required work are defined and the average workload necessary to acquire the competence is calculated by each instructor. The proposals are evaluated by a commission within every academic unit by taking into consideration the learning outcomes of the program and the national certification framework, so that the estimated workload can be reflected in the form of credits. The workload evaluation is regularly updated through follow-up and student feedback. The ECTS credits of courses offered to more than one academic unit are evaluated by a commission at the university level.
In conformity with the ECTS logic, credits are allocated to all components of a study program (courses, internships, memoirs, theses, etc.) on the basis of workload required by each activity. The results obtained by the student are sanctioned by a local grade that corresponds to a grade on the ECTS grading scale. The credit points of a course are calculated by multiplying the obtained grades by the number of ECTS credits. In order to calculate the Grade Point Average (GPA) of a graduating student, the sum total of the credit points obtained for all courses validated by the student is divided by the sum total of ECTS credits.
Why are ECTS credits useful?
Consequently, the ECTS is a credit and transfer system that encourages national and international mobility, improves the quality of inter-university exchange, facilitates the recognition of acquired competences at the university as well as outside the formal education system, and insures the transparent follow-up of the student's curriculum and evaluates fairly his/her work.

Changes in Atlantic Sooner Than Expected
by faster | Nov 4, 2015 | Blog | 0 comments
SOURCE: Coastal Review Online
AUTHOR: Lisa Sorg
SNIP: The disturbance in the North Atlantic could have far-reaching implications for the mid-Atlantic region thousands of miles away. Ocean circulation creates a pressure gradient that causes water to pile up on the highest areas beneath the ocean and away from the coast, explains Mann, who also runs the university's Earth Sciences Center. If the circulation slows or stops, the pressure decreases and the water relaxes toward the shoreline.
Many scientists did not expect the recent shifts to happen so quickly. "I thought the AMOC would change slowly, but the oscillation has been quite dramatic over short periods," deYoung says. "We like to think of climate as an elephant moving slowly along. But the ocean system is not that simple. We're open for more surprises."
Mann says climate models didn't predict such a slowdown until the next century, "but it's already happening."

Adrian: What gave Middletown the idea to use solar power for energy?
Mr. Kirkpatrick: The district started looking at solar panels as a way to reduce energy costs six or seven years ago. At that time, the roofs on the district's buildings were at the end of their lives, so putting panels on those roofs was not an option. As a possible alternative, we considered solar parking-lot canopies, but the cost to construct them outweighed the potential savings. Since that time, all seventeen district buildings have had new roofs installed, so installing solar panels on the roofs became a viable option.
Adrian: What will solar panels do for the school?
Mr. Kirkpatrick: The solar panels that have been mounted are comprised of photovoltaic solar cells, which will convert the energy from sunlight directly into electricity. A portion of the electricity that is produced will be used by the school building.
Adrian: What excites you the most about the use of solar panels?
Mr. Kirkpatrick: A solar photovoltaic system has specific advantages as an energy source. Once installed, its operation generates no pollution and no greenhouse gas emissions. The solar system will also reduce the districts energy costs, providing savings that we are using to finance improvements to the district heating and cooling systems and other facilities projects.
Adrian: What were the costs associated with the solar panels?
Mr. Kirkpatrick: The solar panels are part of the district's Energy Savings Improvement Plan (also known as ESIP) that was reviewed and approved by the NJ Board of Public Utilities (or BPU). This is a program in which the district packages projects that will provide energy savings with other needed improvement projects so that the work can be done without impacting the district's budget. The solar panel system is being installed as part of a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). Under this PPA agreement, the district is essentially leasing the space on the building roofs to a solar energy supplier for 15 years. In exchange, the district is able to purchase electricity from the solar energy supplier for a lower price than what we previously were purchasing it for. The solar panel system will not be owned or maintained by the district.
Adrian: Are other schools going to get solar panels?
Mr. Kirkpatrick: All schools will except for Leonardo Elementary because their roof can't support them.
After all of this information regarding solar panels has come to light, I, for one, have a greater understanding about the solar panels that will be supplied to almost all of the schools in Middletown. Solar energy is a great way to reduce the costs of electricity, provide bonus electricity in the event of power outages, and protect the environment, ultimately benefiting the school and community.


When I wrote the article College Enrollment versus Labor Force Participation for Age 18 to 24 I found some overlap between the percent of the population that is enrolled in college and the percent that is in the labor force. It seemed obvious that was due to some people doing both. But how many college students actually do work?
Employment Status of 16-24 year olds by school enrollment and educational attainment.
It shows the break down of students versus labor force status. Its only a snapshot for April 2013 and I don't see historical info.
I'm actually a bit surprised that more students don't work. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised. If I think back to my college days there were quite a few students that did not work at all. Part time jobs were pretty common but it was just as common to not work at all. Very few people work full time will enrolled in college full time and I'm not surprised by that.
This is for April and I'd expect that if you took the snapshot in July that you'd see higher percent working. Though I'm not sure if they count students on summer break as enrolled or not, I'd assume so.
Very few part time students aren't in the labor force.

Zond 1, uma integrante do programa soviético Zond, foi a segunda nave espacial de pesquisas soviética a alcançar Vênus.  Um pequeno vazamento de uma janela fez com que a nave se despressurizasse. Um comando do controle na terra ativou seu sistema de rádio enquanto havia uma atmosfera rarefeita internamente, fazendo os circuitos se curto-circuitarem por descargas solares.  A comunicação foi mantida através do transmissor na cápsula de aterrissagem, e medidas de radiação espacial  e de níveis de hidrogênio com espectrômetros foram realizadas.

A Zond-1 foi projetada para carregar uma cápsula com 90 cm para Vênus. Ela continha experimentos para análise química da atmosfera, medidores de raios gama da superfície das rochas, um fotômetro, medidores de temperatura e pressão, e um sensor de movimento para o caso de aterrissagem em água.

A nave espacial Venera 3MV-1, foi lançada em 4 de Abril de 1964 em Tyuratam, as comunicações falharam em 14 de Maio, e foi obtida a órbita ao redor do sol a uma distância de 100 000 km de Vênus em 14 de Julho do mesmo ano.

David Shambaugh on China's Political Personalities, From Mao to Xi
Since Xi Jinping officially ascended to the head of the Chinese Communist Party in late 2012, he has tightened his personal control over both party and country in a way not seen since the founding leader of the People's Republic of China (PRC), Mao Zedong. Understanding Xi the person is important to understanding China the country. But even under Xi's more understated predecessors, understanding the PRC's top ruler helps explains the choices made in Beijing that have shaped the country, and the world.
In "China's Leaders: From Mao to Now," David Shambaugh, an internationally acclaimed expert on contemporary China, provides an in-depth look at the widely divergent personalities and ruling styles of the PRC's five main leaders: Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao, and Xi Jinping. In tracing their differences, Shambaugh also illuminates the true power in China: the bureaucracy, which has remained surprisingly consistent in its culture and institutions since the PRC's founding.

These guilt-free snacks are full of flavor and satisfying. They take some time to bake but require almost no labor. These are great for a mid-afternoon snack.
Green jackfruit is often referred to as the vegetarian's meat. It is the fruit of a tree native to Asia. When green jackfruit cooks, it begins to pull apart, taking on an appearance similar to pulled pork. The hardest part of this recipe is finding canned green jackfruit (available in most Asian markets).
This traditional moist carrot cake has no added oils and plenty of healthy carrots, applesauce, walnuts, and raisins. Top it with fresh fruit or soy yogurt and now you have a delicious treat!
The turmeric in this scramble gives the tofu that yolk-yellow look, while the peppers and onions add texture and flavor. It's a quick and easy breakfast that goes nicely with a fruit salad and whole-grain bread or grits.
These are extra-moist brownies that are whole grain and have no added oil. The nut butter and applesauce give it a fudge-like texture for an extra-special chocolate treat.

Q: Standalone Android CMake for externalNativeBuild I've setup externalNativeBuild in my project with Android Studio 2.2.2 and it works good. Now I'm looking for CMake that it uses, but I can't find one. I know that there is one in "android-sdk-linux/cmake" and I could copy it, but I'd like to provide other developers from my team with straight download link. Also other developers don't really need to have Android Studio.
Using official CMake doesn't help because it doesn't have "Android Gradle" generators.
And it seems that there is no way to download it using Android SDK manager as well.
Am I missing something?
Thanks.

Als Forstketten bezeichnet man speziell zum Holzrücken ausgelegte hochfeste Ketten. Forstketten sind in verschiedenen Dimensionen und Ausführungen erhältlich. In Verbindung mit Seilwinden und Seilrollen kann Stammholz auch aus unwegsamen Gelände gezogen werden. Durch entsprechende Farbgebung sind die Ketten im Wald leicht wieder zu finden.

Güteklassen von Forstketten
Die Ketten und ihre Zubehörteile sind von den Herstellern entsprechend den Güteklassen gekennzeichnet. Durch Verschleißfestigkeit (spezielle Vergütung) ist eine hohe Lebensdauer und daher Wirtschaftlichkeit gewährleistet.

Standard Forstrückeketten
Forstrückeketten gibt es in verschiedenen Güteklassen. Gängig ist die Güteklasse 8 (rot lackiert) für den allgemeinen Forsteinsatz. Durch umfangreiches Zubehör im Kuppelsystem können Forstketten in jede gewünschte Länge und Ausführung wirtschaftlich im Baukastensystem montiert werden. Je nach Einsatzzweck werden Rundgliederketten oder Vierkantketten verwendet.

Forstketten für Profirücker
Der Profirücker setzt die Sondergüte 10 (blau lackiert) ein. Durch höhere Zugfestigkeit des Materials können kleinere Kettendimensionen eingesetzt werden – dies bringt eine teilweise erhebliche Gewichtsersparnis mit sich. Die Sondergüte 10 wird nur als Vierkantkette angeboten und verfügt daher über hohe Griffigkeit besonders bei nassem oder vereistem Holz.

Arten von Forstketten
Forstketten werden in unterschiedlichen Standardausführungen angeboten:

Rückeketten

Diese Kettenausführung verfügt an einem Ende über ein großes Aufhängeglied und an anderem Ende über einen Schlinghaken oder Lasthaken. Das Aufhängeglied wird direkt am Schlepper befestigt. Das andere Ende der Kette mit dem Haken wird um den zu ziehenden Stamm schlaufenförmig gelegt, die Schlaufe zieht sich beim Rücken fest um den Stamm.

Allzweckketten

Im Gegensatz zur Rückekette wird hier als Endbeschlag ein Parallelhaken eingesetzt, so dass die Kette beliebig verkürzt werden kann. Hier zieht sich die Kette beim Rücken jedoch nicht durch die Zugkräfte um den Stamm fest.

Choker- bzw. Würgeketten

Beim Einsatz von Choker- bzw. Würgeketten bzw. werden diese mittels eines Chokerhakens oder eines Seilgleitbügels am Zugseil eingehängt. Die gängigste Chokerkette besteht aus einem Schlinghaken auf der einen Seite und einer Durchstecknadel auf der anderen Seite der Kette.

Ein sog. Seilgleitbügel mit Verkürzungslasche ist bereits auf dem Zugseil angebracht. Durch die Verkürzungslasche kann die Kette in jeder beliebigen Länge zurückgehängt werden.

The number one question that people always ask us is: How do I successfully complete for brownfield funding? Communities and organizations often feel they have applied again and again, but just don't get the grant. Here are a few timeless tips to get you started on the road to success.
You have the opportunity to obtain feedback from your EPA Regional staff on the strengths and weaknesses of your grant application. You can find your regional contact person by clicking this link. Be sure to act fast though as the window closes approximately 60 days after the grants are announced! Next, participate in in-person or remote funding and grant workshops. There are also in-person workshops sponsored by state and EPA staff.
Wherever you are in the process, CCLR provides peer review assistance for free. CCLR finds that our review improves the quality of an application and increases competitiveness of a grant application significantly. Visit our contact page to get in touch with us.
I come from a rural community and we have not been successful in obtaining assessment, remediation and revolving loan (ARC) brownfields grants from the EPA. Where could my proposals have been improved?
Vision and focus: A successful brownfields application will be in tune with the overall goals and plans of the community, and the greater regional context. This will be reflected in consistency with the community's general plan, any specific plans for target area, and any regional planning and capital funding programs.
Project/program readiness: Often, the community is less prepared than others to proceed to assessment or cleanup. There are different factors including lack of site access or lack of an overall plan for the redevelopment project or area.
Community support: Communities need strong community and leadership support. This may be evidenced by leveraging of cash or in-kind resources from the community.
Principles: Provide more transportation, Promote equitable, affordable housing, Enhance economic competitiveness, Support existing communities, and Value communities and neighborhoods.
If your community needs additional support in any of the areas discussed, it is important to gain community consensus on these aspects. The EPA, HUD and many states provide resources for communities to collect and analyze information to allow an informed discussion on these matters. For instance, annually, EPA offers competitive and non-competitive technical assistance grants – cash or in-kind – to gather information and convene workshops. HUD has offered competitive challenge grants to communities for the same purpose. Many states and nonprofit organizations provide technical assistance or grants for planning and implementation for the elements of sustainable development, including open space, housing and transportation. EPA also funds four Technical Assistance to Brownfields (TAB) Communities grantees that provide limited technical support, including workshops, consulting and grant application peer review.
As far as the grant proposal itself, a common mistake that is easy to fix on your own, is not answering all of the questions asked. Review your proposal with the scoring criteria in front of you to be sure that you've responded thoroughly for all of the points.
Consult with your EPA regional office, state environmental office, TAB regional grantee and partner Federal and state departments for technical assistance and small grants. (For the Western US, a summary of this information is provided on the Resources page for your state.) Also, seek educational opportunities, such as conferences, workshops and webinars.


This training is co-sponsored by the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges and the National Judicial College, October 24-27, 2011, in Reno, Nevada. The scholarships would cover the $985 tuition fee and the participant would be responsible for the $245 conference fee as well as their own travel expenses.

The Troublesome Inheritance of Americans in Magna Carta and Trial by Jury
Renée Lettow Lerner, George Washington University Law SchoolFollow
Many Americans insisted on their traditional rights as Englishmen in the conflict with Britain before and after declaring independence. Magna Carta—particularly the provisions concerning the "law of the land" and "judgment of his peers"—embodied fundamental rights of Englishmen that American revolutionaries were willing to fight to protect. As Edward Coke had found more than a century before, American revolutionaries understood that invoking such an ancient document inspired resistance to authority.
Americans cherished Magna Carta most because of its association with jury trial. Juries had proved useful to Americans in their conflict with Britain. Colonial American juries had nullified the law of seditious libel, customs taxes, and debts to British merchants. It was no wonder Americans held the jury in high esteem, at least until they had to run their own governments. Americans filled their constitutions, both federal and state, with rights to jury trial. Several American states even included translations of provisions from Magna Carta in their constitutions, enshrining the "judgment of his peers." Once Americans had achieved independence and formed the new republics, judges faced the task of interpreting these thirteenth-century provisions as eighteenth- and nineteenth-century law. American judges quoted Blackstone and historical treatises. Through the nineteenth century, however, American enthusiasm for juries waned. The much-repeated phrases from Magna Carta became a flimsy screen, masking the steady decline of jury power.
