Liverpool has made a habit of getting points late in games, and while there may be an element of luck to that, it also speaks to Jurgen Klopp's side ability to see matches all the way through in order to get the result it needs.
To say Liverpool 'got away with it' against Tottenham at the weekend is probably a fair assessment.
Having dominated the first half, leading 1-0 through a Roberto Firmino header, they were little short of a disaster in the second 45. Lucas Moura's 70th-minute equalizer was a well deserved one for their north London visitors, and they looked to be in the ascendancy as the game drew to a close.
It was the Reds, however, who would somehow find a winner, and in the most fortunate of circumstances. As the game entered stoppage time, Mohamed Salah headed a Trent Alexander-Arnold cross back across goal, and after a calamitous, panicky mix-up between Hugo Lloris and Toby Alderweireld, the ball edged over the line.
The win sent them back to the summit of the Premier League when all hope had looked lost, and came in strikingly similar fashion to Divock Origi's 96th-minute winner over Everton in December.
Delving further back, there are several instances where Jurgen Klopp's Reds have had to lean into luck in order to get a result. There was Sadio Mane's blatantly offside opener against West Ham, Riyad Mahrez's late penalty miss at Anfield, that fortuitous 1-0 win at Huddersfield; all of which could have gone another way with a change in the wind.
It does leave you wondering if the footballing gods have had enough of Liverpool's 29-year wait for a top division title. One of the overriding narratives to come out of the win over Tottenham, which left Liverpool two points clear of Manchester City having played a game more, was that it is 'written in the stars' for the trophy to come back to Anfield.
The propensity for late goals, in particular, lends itself to that perception. The win over Spurs takes the tally of points earned by goals after the 88th minute to 10 in total this season; City, in contrast, have won none.
Incidentally, of those 10 points, nine of them have been won at Anfield - where the Reds have now gone undefeated in 36 Premier League matches.
Once could be sheer luck, and lightning could strike twice. But to consistently win points in the dying embers of games, it has to come from more than that. Fortune has been on their side; but it only comes about thanks to their fitness, self-confidence, and willingness to play to the whistle.
Furthermore, while Klopp has undoubtedly instilled a desire to fight until the end that has taken things at Anfield to a new level, there is a strong case that it actually runs deeper.
Since the introduction of the Premier League era back in 1992, Liverpool have scored 33 stoppage-time winners. For context, Arsenal come in at second with 25, while Tottenham and Manchester United occupy joint third on 22 apiece.
Put that all together: a team that historically scores late goals, a group of players who will run through brick walls until the final whistle for their manager, and a home support that is virtually proven to spur the team forward, and the mystery as to why Liverpool have enjoyed so much luck this season is practically solved. By and large, they make it themselves.
You only have to look at the great Manchester United teams under Sir Alex Ferguson to see that it can happen. The infamous 'Fergie Time' mythos only came about thanks to the abundance of late goals they scored, and with that came an unparalleled abundance of trophies.
While it's a pretty huge stretch to say we're seeing the early stages of an era of domestic dominance - let's get the first title out of the way first - it does demonstrate that an ability to get results regardless of performance, often disguised as simple good fortune, can go a long, long way.
Will it be enough to overcome perhaps the best league side of the Premier League era, as Pep Guardiola's City hit full stride going into their last eight matches? It's impossible to call at this stage.
But if Liverpool do win that elusive 19th title this season, it won't be down to barefaced luck - it will be because they have earned it.

Former Accenture CEO Pierre Nanterme Dies Just Weeks After Stepping Down
Fortune January 31, 2019
Former Accenture chairman and CEO Pierre Nanterme has died. He was 59.
Accenture announced the news on Thursday in a statement, saying that it "extends its sincerest condolences to his family in this difficult time and expresses its enduring gratitude for his decades of leadership and inspiration." The cause of death is unknown, but Nanterme had been diagnosed with colon cancer in 2016. He stepped down as the company's leader just weeks ago on January 11 for health reasons.
Nanterme spent 36 years at Accenture in a variety of roles. He was appointed CEO in January 2011 and took on the role of chairman in February 2013. During his tenure as chief executive, Nanterme expanded Accenture's lineup of digital services and presided over a successful stretch that saw the company's shares more than double in the last five years.
Nanterme was also an advocate for greater diversity and gender equality in the workplace. Before he retired, he set a goal for Accenture to achieve a full gender-balanced workforce by 2025.
"He was an outstanding advocate for creating a culture of equality at Accenture," Accenture non-executive chair of the board Marge Magner said in a statement. "His energy, drive and leadership will be sorely missed."
Since Nanterme's departure, Accenture has been led by interim CEO David Rowland. The company has yet to name a successor.

Miliana, Algeria (12:15 GMT)— A local man is facing possible expulsion from his family home after revealing to his father that he has been a monogomist for the past 15 years of his life.
Hamza Zaydoon, 35, recently confessed his inherent desire to remain with one female for his entire life at the bi-annual sheep race in Miliana. Zaydoon's father was not immediately available for comment.
"I'm not a monster. I can't help it if God made me this way. Trust me, there are days when I wake up in a cold sweat and wonder why I couldn't just want the responsibility of up to three more households," said Zaydoon.
Now Zaydoon must face the harsh possibility of being cut-off from the family's lush supply of goat milk and stale bread.


Allison Dean is a writer bringing to us the latest information on the legal fight for the reform of autism insurance laws to cover Intensive Behavioral Therapies. We welcome her thoughts on this important issue.
With recent medical innovations in both technology and treatments, new therapies have been developed and shown to benefit those children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders. One in particular is Intensive Behavioral Treatments (IBT). The legal fight for children to receive this treatment has been an ongoing one.
But first, what is IBT? IBTs include Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI), and Intensive Behavioral Intervention (IBI). These treatments are exercises and techniques consistently applied to autistic children for several years, for 25 to 40 hours per week; children usually work with a therapist, paraprofessional, parent, or some combination of some or all of said people. However, the involvement of children's parents throughout the process is imperative to its success.
Early on, children are rewarded for good behavior with food although this reward is very quickly faded to non-food reinforcers; all throughout therapy, bad behaviors are rewarded with neutral responses.
Observational learning in social settings.
Proper social emotional responses and expression.
The teaching of basic education skills.
The fight for coverage of IBTs is ongoing, but it has been a successful one. If things continue as they have, it is only a matter of time before all states mandate that IBTs be covered by insurance.
Allison also writes about medical malpractice on her website, Medical Malpractice Lawyers.

Papal Artifacts / News / Copper Engravings of St. Paul Outside the Walls from Before the July 15, 1823 Fire
Copper Engravings of St. Paul Outside the Walls from Before the July 15, 1823 Fire
Picture of St.Paul Outside the Walls
A Picture Book of Copper Engravings Containing engravings of Rome from the Late 1700's showing St. Paul's before the devastating fire of 1823: Interior
The artifact is one of the earliest picture books created in the late 1700's.
It contains 100 copper engravings. Among these engravings is one of St. Paul Outside the Walls, one of the four major basilicas in Rome, prior to the 1823 fire when it burned to the ground.
For that reason alone, the book is of special interest and value.
A Note about Pope Pius VII & St. Paul Outside the Walls
In the summer of 1823, Pius VII broke his leg and was unable to recover from the wound. Two weeks earlier, a fire had devastated his beloved church, St. Paul's Outside the Walls, the abbey where he had both studied and taught in his younger years. He was not even told of the fire and died in August. He was buried in a mausoleum erected by Thorwaldsen in St. Peter's Basilica.
Fire damages St Paul Outside-the-Walls on July 15, 1823
A blaze nearly destroyed the ancient Papal Basilica of Saint Paul Outside-the-Walls in Rome on this day in 1823.
A workman repairing the lead in the church roof accidentally started a fire that burnt down the Basilica, which dated back to the third century and was unique in Rome, having retained its primitive style.
St Paul Outside-the-Walls is one of four major Papal Basilicas in Rome, along with St John in the Lateran (San Giovanni in Laterano), St Peter's (San Pietro in Vaticano) and St Mary Major (Santa Maria Maggiore).
After the fire, Pope Leo XII appealed for donations to help rebuild the church in exactly the same style.
The Basilica was reopened in 1840 and reconsecrated in 1855 in the presence of Pope Pius IX.
The redecoration was helped by contributions from all over the world, including pillars of alabaster from Egypt and malachite and lapis lazuli from Russia.
The Italian Government funded the work on the façade and declared the Church a national monument.
The façade of the reconstructed Basilica pictured today
The Basilica had been founded by the Roman Emperor Constantine over the burial place of St Paul. In the sixth century the building was modified to enable the altar to be placed directly over Paul's tomb.
The Basilica, which is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is outside the territory belonging to the Vatican although it is owned by them.

Last night I was talking to a warrior on my server who said he reads my blog. He had stated that his guild is getting ready to start running Kara and he would find it beneficial if I would blog about what it takes to tank certain boss fights. I'm guessing he is looking for information like knowing to disarm Attumen, where to stand/stance dance on the Nightbane fight, or any other immunities/special abilities that boss's have which make tanking difficult. So I suppose I'll give it a try.
He has no agro table and randomly selects his targets, therefore he cannot be tanked.

Meet Ishaan, The Fabulous Bass Guitarist From Manipal University
We've got talent flowing in from all parts of the country and we couldn't be more thrilled to present all of it to you! Adding another star to our long list of musicians, meet our next Boombox Talent – Ishaan Kochhar.
A final year B.Tech Computer Science student at Manipal University, Ishaan first started playing the bass guitar in the year 2013. He used to play the guitar before that, but when the band D6/59 needed a bass player to fill in at the time, Ishaan decided to take over the duty.
The young musician's first stage performance was at school for a farewell gig, but his first major performance took place at BITS Pilani in 2013.
It was completely surreal to me as earlier I was fearful of public appearances on stage, but I got a kick and found great comfort performing with my band. That event made me realize what an amazing feeling one gets playing at a show.
Ishaan has performed at quite few major college festivals with his band – Mood Indigo (IIT Bombay), Alcheringa (IIT Guwahati), Rocktaves (Oasis, BITS Pilani), Searock (BITS Goa), IIMR Infusion (IIM Rohtak), Tech Ideate (Manipal University), MMU Mullana (Ambala), Vivacity (LNMIIT Jaipur), & more!
Check out one of their scintillating performances:
Talking about his inspirations, this is what Ishaan had to say,
Watching my favorite (also not necessarily) bands playing something that they created, in front of the audience, drives me to be on stage playing my band's music and feeling the exchange of energy and adrenaline!
My biggest inspirations include Steven Wilson, Porcupine Tree and a whole lot of other good varied music.
College festivals really helped Ishaan gain the exposure of performing at different venues, and he received a platform to showcase his talent in front of the world.
I aspire to be a successful Record Producer and an ongoing live performer who makes, creates, performs his music in front of the whole world!
To follow his aspirations, Ishaan and his band are now working on their debut album, & upon completion they plan to go on an album launch tour across India!
We are super excited to listen to their new music, & we are pretty sure you are too!
If you or your friends have any talent to showcase on our platform, hit us up here.

It seems that not all the tables get created when copying the db from the assets folder.  Here is one feedback message from a user in the market panel:
"Whenever I click on "missions" the app force closes. all other links seem ok."

So it is really hit and miss.  For some users, it appears none of the tables get copied.
I'm tempted to just rip out the database copy altogether and create the db on launch, but then I still cannot guarantee the db will be created (and won't get any of the metadata that ships with the app, unless we download it on launch, lots of data btw).  Seems a little silly to me though.  So many different platforms to support.  So disjointed.
Funny that I call table creation code on every launch just to be sure the db tables exist, and it doesn't fix it (snippet here):
   this.openDB();
    db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE  if not exists missions (_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, title TEXT, description TEXT, created TEXT, orgHTML TEXT, UNIQUE(id) ON CONFLICT IGNORE);");
...
this.closeDB();

I found this:
http://www.anddev.org/networking-database-problems-f29/missing-table-in-sqlite-with-specific-version-of-desire-hd-t50364.html
and am already applying the workaround, but still getting error reports.
I don't know for sure if it is only on HTC devices, just following the lead of that forum post above.
Background:
The db is in the assets folder.  It is 2.8mb large, and I assign a .mp3 extension to avoid compression so that it will copy (fix an old issue that is well known).
One thing I haven't added yet is a check for free space, but that will be next.  I may just create the whole db empty if there is not enough free space I suppose.  But if it runs out of free space when copying the assets folder db, the db should be corrupted I would think.
BTW: Oncreate and Onupgrade are currently empty:
@Override
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase sqLiteDatabase) {
  }

@Override
public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase sqLiteDatabase, int i, int i1) {
}

This works on all of our test devices:
HTC Aria, 2.1, small footprint, 16mb heap
Original Droid, 2.2.1
Samsung Galaxy, 2.2
Asus tablet (don't have model), 3.0
Xoom, 3.1
The DB class extends sqliteopenhelper:
public class DBManager extends SQLiteOpenHelper {

Here is the code used (Since none of our users have contacted us yet, we don't know what the Log.e writes are, unfortunately):
  ...

    private static final String DB_NAME = "db.mp3";
    private static final String DB_PATH = "/data/data/com.svs/databases/";

     ...

    public boolean createNewDatabaseFromAsset() {
        File file = new File(DB_PATH , DB_NAME);
        if (file.exists()) {
            return true;
        }
        SQLiteDatabase db_Read = null;
        db_Read=this.getReadableDatabase();
         db_Read.close();

         try {
            InputStream assetsDB = this.context.getAssets().open(DB_NAME);
            OutputStream dbOut = new FileOutputStream(DB_PATH + DB_NAME);

            byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
            int length;
            while ((length = assetsDB.read(buffer)) > 0) {
                dbOut.write(buffer, 0, length);
            }

            dbOut.flush();
            dbOut.close();
            assetsDB.close();
            this.buildTables();

            Log.i(TAG, "New database created...");
            return true;
        } catch (IOException e) {
            Log.e(TAG, "IO Error. Could not create new database...");
            e.printStackTrace();
               this.buildTables();
            return false;
        } catch (SQLiteException e) {
            Log.e(TAG, "Database Locked. Could not create new database...");
            e.printStackTrace();
               this.buildTables();
            return false;
        }

   }

    public DBManager openDB() {
           if (!createNewDatabaseFromAsset())
            return null;
           if (db==null){
               dbManager = new DBManager(context);
            db = dbManager.getWritableDatabase();
           }
        return this;
    }

A: I thought I would update this answer since it's a bit old.
On tablets at least, as of android API 19, you can have multiple users.  Those accounts on a Nexus 7 at least go into the directory, /data/users/10/
You have to do something like the following now:
InputStream input = this.context.getAssets().open(DATABASE_NAME);
File dbFile = context.getDatabasePath(DATABASE_NAME);
dbFile.getParentFile().mkdir();
dbFile.createNewFile();
OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(dbFile.getAbsolutePath());

So you can't assume the path for your app is located statically at /data/data//databases.

A: Sorry, left this one hanging.
So I finally just decided to check and delete/create any table that didn't exist in the copied db on first launch (copying remotely any data that usually ships in the package).
It's a hack I know, but at least it gets past the issue we could not resolve otherwise.

A: Take a look at this article here, it has a good create/copy db method which has always worked for me. Also try chopping up the database into <1mb chunks then put back together - thats what i do when dealing with large databases.
Example:
static private void CopyDatabase(Context Ctxt, File DBFile) throws IOException
{
AssetManager am = Ctxt.getAssets();
OutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(DBFile);
DBFile.createNewFile();
byte []b = new byte[1024];
int i, r;
String []Files = am.list("");
Arrays.sort(Files);
for(i=1;i<10;i++)
{
       String fn = String.format("%d.db", i);
    if(Arrays.binarySearch(Files, fn) < 0)
           break;
    InputStream is = am.open(fn);
    while((r = is.read(b)) != -1)
        os.write(b, 0, r);
    is.close();
}
os.close();
}

Hope this helps!

The KDDI Designing Studio in Harajuku has 4 new concept handsets, including the next version of their popular InfoBar series, on display in their main-floor exhibit space. The so-called InfoBar 2 - although it's the third version we've seen? - comes in 5 colors and has a cool speaker system built into the re-charger cradle. The companies AU Design Project continues to set the pace for future model development, if you're in Tokyo the exhibition runs through 16 November.
Derek Kurton, formally in charge of strategizing and building Disney's wireless efforts, has posted an interesting article about the way carriers deal with mobile content in the US: It's too bad the US hasn't seen the adoption of the democratic Asian model, where carriers put up just about all content available, and let the customers decide which is bad, which is good, and which belongs at the top of the decks. This model has worked wonders in Japan and Korea, and would work even better when joined by new emerging solutions in custom UIs, search, segmentation and discovery.
Excite Japan has signed a deal with Media Lead to distribute mobile content throughout the Asia Pacific region, "The initial plan is for Media Lead to supply mobile games and content for distribution by Excite Japan throughout Asia, and for Excite Japan to supply Japanese originated content to Media Lead distribution to the North and South American, and European markets". In North America the content will be distributed by LA-based Smart SMS corporation.
SHIFT holds several competitions aiming to discover fresh creators and support their activities, such as "SHIFT CALENDAR COMPETITION" and "DOTMOV". This time, in collaboration with Crypton Future Media, they are requesting submissions for a mobile phone as "MOBILE ART COMPETITION". The works will be functioned as a mobile phone clock, and the submissions are available in 2 forms; analog and digital. The selected works will be broadly distributed within Japan, in a mobile content managed by Crypton Future Media, which can be accessed from an official site of AU and SoftBank.
Building on SoftBank's TV commercial branding campaign - the company retained Cameron Diaz for a series of spots to coincide with the official patchover from Vodafone in early October - we notice that Brad Pitt has signed-on for round two. Mr. Pitt does not have any lines, the 15sec. TVCM simply blasts 'Walk This Way' by Aerosmith as he is seen wandering through what appears to be a crowded street market in Mumbai.
Advanced Telecommunication Research Institute International (ATR), a private laboratory in Seikacho, Kyoto Prefecture, has recently developed Internet software for cell phones that translates Japanese sentences into English and vice versa. Major cell phone firms plan to introduce the software as part of their new services by the end of the year. Software for Chinese translations will be available next spring.
Kyocera has announced a new handset for Virgin Mobile USA with two firsts for the carrier. The new Cyclops, as the handset is to be known, features Virgin Mobile's TXT Tones and Virgin Audio Messaging, as well as other mid-range features and a sleek design. The Kyocera Cyclops also features a built in 1.3 megapixel camera, 65k color TFT LCD display, and 14MB of on board memory. Additionally, phone features like a speakerphone and voice-activated dialing are also included.
A collection of the biggest powers in consumer electronics, including LG, Matsushita (Panasonic), Samsung, Sony, Toshiba, and SiBEAM announced today that they are teaming together to ratify a standard for wireless high-def signal transmission. United as a technology group going under the name WirelessHD, the companies aim to have a finalized specification in spring 2007. The WirelessHD (WiHD) standard will allow for uncompressed, digital transmission of HD video and audio signals, essentially making it equivalent, in theory, to wireless HDMI.
Amp'd Mobile, announced it will deliver much of its mobile entertainment content to Japan via a new portal service designed exclusively for Tokyo-based KDDI/au. The service is expected to launch in March of 2007. Services will include Amp'd Music, Videos, Games, Sports, and Lifestyle content. The company has stated it will also open a satellite studio office in Japan that will contribute locally-produced materials to enhance their service.

Time Is Right For This FlexShares Infrastructure ETF
Tom Lydon March 11, 2020
In the coming days, markets and voters should get more clarity on the Democratic presidential nominee, meaning the 2020 campaign is sure to heat up and that could bring infrastructure investing into focus.
That could provide a spark for ETFs, including the FlexShares STOXX Global Broad Infrastructure Index Fund (NYSEArca: NFRA). NFRA tries to reflect the performance of the STOXX Global Broad Infrastructure Index, which identifies equities that derive the majority of revenue from infrastructure business, providing exposure to not only infrastructure sectors, but non-traditional ones as well.
Politics are important when it comes to infrastructure assets, but there are other themes at play that bode well for the long-term NFRA thesis.
"According to Volcker Alliance, the U.S. faces a backlog of $873 billion worth of repairs for infrastructure projects such as roads and highways across the country," according to FlexShares. "This offers a state-level opportunity for investments, which could last for several years if not longer, as larger states enter a much-needed infrastructure spending phase."
Seeking NFRA Opportunity
The infrastructure category has also historically offered higher dividend yields than global fixed-income and global equities, along with greater predictability of long-term cash flows. The ETF may be able to capture the growing demands of economic development that are driving more funding into transport, power, and other systems.
"The infrastructure sector is less prone to the cyclical movements of the economy, which makes it a viable alternative as a defensive play," notes FlexShares. "This is particularly important for investors to consider with the ongoing volatility from coronavirus. One reason infrastructure is less prone to cyclical movements is because it's often considered a necessity. Despite the state of the economy, there's a continuous effort around the country to speed up traffic-clogged highways and modernize aging infrastructure."
NFRA's index focuses on long-lived assets in industries with very high barriers to entry, with at least 50% of their revenue from key sectors with a 3-month average daily trending volume of at least $1 million. The portfolio is weighted based on a free-float market cap with certain constraints to limit exposure in any one security, sub-sector, or country. Additionally, the fund is rebalanced annually.
"Given the nature of ETFs, investors can benefit from exposure to an array of securities, sub-sectors, and countries in one single fund; while also benefiting from greater liquidity than a traditional infra investment. Depending on the composition of an ETF, it can offer exposure to both traditional and non-traditional sub-sectors," according to FlexShares. "For example, Flexshares' NFRA provides exposure to global opportunities, targeting infrastructure upgrades across both developed markets and emerging markets. As many ETFs such as NFRA rebalance annually, it ensures a well-balanced and diversified fund, ultimately maximizing opportunities for returns."

HomeGeneralHow Has Trump Impacted On The Global Forex Market?
How Has Trump Impacted On The Global Forex Market?
June 14, 2017 Generalno commentNo tags
Given the vitriol that Donald Trump has met with since becoming President, his election continues to be a complex and polarising mystery.
The situation is even more perplexing when you consider his controversial and protectionist stance on hot-button issues such as immigration, crime and foreign policy, which has angered citizens and in some instances gone close to violating the constitution.
In truth, the answer to Trump's election lies largely in his stated commitment to reviving the U.S. economy. This was a message that resonated with swing voters in key states, but how has a Trump presidency impacted on the economy and financial markets so far?
Trump and Currency: Why the Greenback is Braced for a Decline
Perhaps the most interesting study is Trump's impact on the U.S. Dollar (USD), and currency traders all over the world. Remember, the USD has served as the dominant global currency for generations, accounting for between 40% and 80% of all traders across various categories.
Typically, the USD is also one of the more robust and high-performance currencies, which is why Trump's election caused such volatility in the forex market at the outset. During the campaign, Trump had briefly discussed his personal preference for a slightly weaker Dollar, and this revelation sent risk-averse traders diving for cover as the demand for the USD waned. Conversely, the stock markets boomed (after a marginal decline) immediately after the election of Trump, thanks primary to the new President's business background, proposed tax cuts and lavish infrastructure plans.
Nothing lasts forever in the changeable world of politics, however, as the USD began to rise incrementally against the British pound (GBP) and the volatile Euro (EUR). While many lauded this as a victory for Trump and used it to reinforce the sustained strength of the USD, these increases had more to do with the ongoing spectre of Brexit and the impact that prolonged economic uncertainty has had on the value of UK and European currencies. In fact, the devaluation of the GBP has continued at pace, while it continues to trade in a narrow range that benefits the USD.
The assertion that Trump favoured a weaker USD had more than a ring of truth, however, and this has been borne out by his aggressive economic and foreign policy. After all, the President's economic plan includes infrastructure spending of more than $1 trillion, as he looks to revitalise the nation and return manufacturing jobs to the U.S. This underpins his protectionist stance, with the ultimate goal being to restore America's reputation as a leading exporter of goods and services.
A weaker dollar is central to this plan, however, as it reduces the cost of U.S. exports and makes them more competitive in the global marketplace.
We are already seeing evidence of a declining dollar, as the USD continues to slide against the Canadian equivalent (the CAD) ahead of the next Fed meetings in the U.S. This is a trend that we should expect to continue, as Trump gradually brings his economic plan and philosophy into life.
The good news is that currency traders have advanced warning of this, and can adapt their positions in order to profit from the depreciation of the USD. This is one of the fundamental rules of forex trading, which dictates that it is always possible to profit in a strained, volatile and even depreciating marketplace.

Midas Auto Service Experts, a full-service auto repair shop in South Carolina, wanted a long-term solution to reduce the energy usage and operating costs of the shop, while improving the efficiency and appearance of the workspace. A lighting retrofit seemed promising but budget constraints made a capital investment project nearly impossible.
Adamant Energy, a North Carolina based energy efficiency provider, identified substantial opportunities for energy savings for Midas with a series of lighting upgrades throughout the auto shop - over $2,000 annually!
To tap into these savings, Chris Dalton, Principal of Adamant Energy proposed a complete lighting retrofit with an integrated financing solution powered by Sparkfund that allowed Midas to complete the project for zero upfront cost. With a customized payment plan in place, the project was ready for installation. Jimmy, the owner of Midas Auto Service Experts, selected a term of 68 months, which made his payments equivalent to his anticipated savings, making this upgrade effectively utility bill neutral. Once the payment plan term is over, Midas will purchase the equipment for $1 and keep all of the savings.
Midas Auto Service Experts will pay Sparkfund back monthly using the savings from the project.
The newly installed LEDs increase the quality of the lighting in the building drastically, providing higher lumen output, better light spread, and color uniformity.
High-quality lighting eliminates shadow areas ensuring employees have full visibility - extremely important in workspaces with heavy-duty tools and machinery.
The new LED installation will save 178,950 lbs of CO2 over the lifetime of the project.
We are thrilled to have new lights installed with such a speedy process. Signing up for an Adamant Payment Plan through Sparkfund was an easy and seamless process to maximize our savings.

The research of Callum Coats takes us on a journey through the life and inventions of Austrian ecologist Viktor Schauberger (1885-1958). Now, for the first time, you can view the evidence in this detailed, three-hour illustrated lecture presentation on this two video set. Viktor Schauberger was a genius whose ideas were far ahead of his time. He worked as a "forest-master" in the Austrian Alps when they were still a true wilderness. This experience was to influence his entire life's work. Schauberger prophesied the environmental crises we are seeing today, predicting that unless we start to cherish rather than exploit our world, we would surely destroy ourselves. He demonstrated how deforestation would deplete the world of water, causing deserts and climatic chaos. Asked about our technology, "How else should it be done?" His answer was "exactly in the opposite way that it is done today!" His maxim: "Comprehend and Copy Nature!" From his precise observations of the processes of Nature, Schauberger pioneered a completely new understanding of the nature of water as the most important life-giving and energy-empowered substance on the planet. This led him to develop a radical new science which flew in the face of conventional scientific thinking but which, today, is being increasingly recognized for its highly-relevant implications for civilization. Viktor Schauberger might have made a career as a brilliant inventor. Forced, for a time, to develop radical new forms of propulsion for the Third Reich , he went on to work on devices utilizing the principles of implosion -- hundreds of times more powerful than conventional power sources. Even in the weeks just before his death, US government and commercial interests were exerting pressure on him to reveal his secrets. Schauberger's deep insights in the special properties of water and nature hold immense implications for future technology and ecology.


Gah, summer is here, and it's hot, hot, hot. When the temperature rises to omg-I-can't-breathe degrees, there's nothing better than sitting inside a heavily air-conditioned room with a lengthy Netflix queue, lotsa ice cream, and a delightfully open schedule. But what to watch? Lucky for you, we've rounded up the best must-see classics by decade (starting this week with the '80s! Next week is... you guessed it, the '90s!).
For the record, these are organized by year they came out, not by rank! I could never ever fathom trying to decide whether or not When Harry Met Sally is better than Dirty Dancing, so I'm not even going to try and rank. But do feel free to tell me your picks in the comments!
This movie came out 23 years ago, and people are STILL doing John Cusack's stereo-over-the-head, creepy wait-outside-the-window move.
Barely making the '80s requirement, When Harry Met Sally is the go-to friends-to-lovers film. Also, if you ever visit NYC, you must take a trip to Katz's Delicatessen—where the infamous "I'll have what she's having" scene was filmed.
Every time I see this box-office smash on TV, I immediately stop and watch. And you should, too.
I mean, seriously, how cute is Tom Hanks? THE CUTEST, that's what.
Nothing can match Goldie Hawn's marvelous wardrobe (except maybe Kurt Russell's mullet).
No, I'm not talking about The Police song (though that's very good, too). Nope, this is the super-sweet modern-day Cyrano de Bergerac, starring Steve Martin and Daryl Hannah, we're talkin' about.
This flick also made my list of the best wedding movies ever ("Mawidge... mawidge is what brings us together today!"), but let's be honest—this witty classic deserves to be on every best-movie-ever list. Also, tiny cute Fred Savage!!!
Nobody puts Baby in the corner. RIP, Patrick Swayze.
Everybody remembers the scene when Cher slaps Nicolas Cage and yells "Snap out of it!" But my favorite is her mother—played by Olympia Dukakis—when she asks, "Do you love him Loretta?" "Ma, I love him awful." "Aw God, that's too bad."
To me, this is the hallmark Brat Pack film—who didn't want to be Sam Baker, sitting on the dining table with a birthday cake and dreamy Jake Ryan? Swoon.
Finally, I, like, toootallly wanna, like, talk about how rad it is that punk-rock Nicolas Cage falls in love with awesome Valley Girl Deborah Foreman.
So, which of these are your favorites? Did I forget any on this list? And feel free to nominate flicks for next week's '90s romantic comedy picks!

A Luxury Car Without The Expense: Is It Possible?
Great advice on purchasing a luxury car without the expense.
When we think of luxury cars, our minds tend to instantly realign with reality as we think about the high costs involved. But are there many cars that offer luxury without forcing us to break the bank?
If an enjoyable drive and a comfortable interior are what you're looking for in a luxury car, look no further than the Audi A3. It has a strong, efficient and engine meaning you'll have plenty of fun taking it on the open road. But you won't have to feel too guilty about polluting the Earth as it does plenty of miles to the gallon.
The control you have over the steering and handling is very impressive too. A lot of cars that prioritise luxury and comfort tend to find that the control over the driving suffers as a result. But this isn't the case with the A3, making it a must for anyone looking for a lower priced, modern luxury car.
Sometimes, the classic luxury cars are the best. And they're even better if you can pick them up at incredibly low prices. The Lexus LS was a big hit in the early 1990s after being launched by its manufacturer in 1990. It acted as a wake-up call to the big luxury car makers because they realised that there was a new kid on the block.
The LS's V8 engine remains a benchmark in luxury car circles. It was incredibly quiet and offered a smoother ride than anything the bigger manufacturers were able to manage. The one downside of the car is that the V8 engine now makes it expensive to run, but they're not expensive to buy now.
The Hyundai Azera is a new car, but it doesn't demand the same prices as some of its bigger rivals at BMW and Mercedes. It's a toned down, but still luxurious take on what those bigger and richer manufacturers have to offer. It doesn't sell itself short though; the Azera is a good car, and it has a beautiful design.
It's certainly the best looking Hyundai on the market. The manufacturer hasn't always been known for producing aesthetically pleasing cars, but this all changed with the Azera. It also has all the internal features you'd expect from a luxury car, as well as cruise control, 18" aluminum wheels and electronic stability.
If there's one car manufacturer that's synonymous with luxury, it's Jaguar. The great thing about the Jaguar XJ is that it's very cheap and very luxurious. It's a near classic nowadays, but they can be found for as little as £3,000 since they finished production in 2003. Click for Jaguar's best cars, there are now lots of cheap Jaguars to be found at dealerships up and down the country.
For me, the combination of luxury and low costs that the XJ offers is unbeatable though. Before you even look at what's under the hood, you have to stop and admire the body and overall design of the car. It's a special car, and it's still pretty cheap to run. Just make sure you find one in good condition because reliability isn't its strong point.
These cars prove that it is possible to find a great luxury car without having to fork out absurd amounts of money!


Potty training would have to be one of the most stressful things a parent and child must go through. Some kids get it straight away, others, not so quick. There are weeks of sticker charts, wet patches, smelly accidents and stinky knickers. With a little determination from all parties it usually all works out in the end.
But most parents will never forget the dreaded words "Mum, I need to pee right now" — usually as we're standing in aisle 6 with a full trolley of groceries!
Small children often don't realise that they need to go until it is almost happening. It's just how it is sometimes. No matter how many times we ask our children if they need to go to the toilet before we leave the house, accidents happen. And sometimes your best option is to just pull over and let your little person go beside the car. It's not the end of the world.
This is exactly what happened to a mum in the US. Her 3-year-old son told her that he needed to pee right now so she did what she could for him at that moment, resulting in a citation from a police officer who was standing nearby.
Brooke Johns, who is eight months pregnant, was driving along when she heard the sweet little voice of her son Cohen in the backseat saying that he had a big problem.
"He's like, 'Mum, I've got to pee. I've got to pee!' I was like, 'Well, hold on,' and he's like, 'No! I've GOT to pee! I've got to REALLY pee.' And I'm like, 'Baby, there's nowhere for me to go, and he says, 'Momma, I'm about to pee in my pants!" Brooke said.
Brooke said they barely made it to a service station parking lot before she realised they wouldn't be able to make it inside.
So, covering up Cohen as best as she could, she allowed her son to do a little wee right there in the parking lot.
Apparently, this caught the attention of a local deputy police officer, and he was not happy.
If convicted, the heavily pregnant mum faces up to 60 days in jail and a USD$5,000 fine.
After her story was shared by local media, Brooke took to Facebook to defend her decision, stating that she had to find a safe place to pull over out of traffic after crossing a bridge.
She even staged a re-enactment to defend her decision.
For what it's worth, I think Officer Petty could have found some other way to make up his quota of tickets served that day. Could he not have given her a warning if he found this so abhorrent that he couldn't keep his mouth shut?
We'd like to wish Brooke all the positive vibes in the world for her upcoming hearing and the impending birth of her second baby. You got this, girl.

Beijing schools install air quality monitoring device
Two Beijing schools have installed equipment that allows them to measure campus air quality in real-time, in an effort to prevent the spread of airborne illnesses and determine if children should play outside. If the one-year trail period is successful it will be applied to all Beijing schools, according to the Beijing Health Inspection Institute.
Fangcaodi International School of Beijing and another (that asked to remain anonymous) can monitor carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methanol, PM10 and PM2.5 levels. Authorities have established 10 monitoring sites at two schools, including 8 spots for indoor air quality monitoring and 2 for outdoors.
"We installed the air quality monitoring system in early September in the school according to the requirement of the health authorities," said Liu (who would only provide her surname), vice-principal of Fangcaodi International School in Beijing.
In order to give a more vivid display of the monitoring results, the school also installed a display screen for the system.
"There are signal lights on the display so the lights will show different colors, such as green or red, to correspond to different air conditions," she said. "It makes it easier for teachers and students to understand and identify the monitoring results."
Hu Qingming, a Beijinger whose daughter is a second-grader at one of the primary schools, applauded the program.
"The city is so big that the PM2.5 statistics released by the city as a whole are too general and can't reflect the air pollution situation of a small area, such as a school," he said. "With PM2.5 monitoring devices installed in schools, teachers and children can make a better decision on whether they should have outdoor activities."

Q: Excel - How to count number of rows in range (i.e. various columns) that contain certain string? I have a list A of strings and I want to see if and if yes in how many rows each string is represented in range B. My data looks something like this:
List A:
   E
1 aaa
2 bbb
3 ccc

Range B:
   A      B      C
1 aaa    ---    ---
2 bbb    ccc    bbb
3 aaa    ---    ---

My desired result would be that in list A for "aaa" it would tell me 2, for "bbb" 1 and for "ccc" 1. Have been trying to do this with the below array formula but it doesn't seem to be working:
=SUM(IF(COUNTIF(Range B,List A($A1)>0,1,0))

A: As much as I like to avoid encouraging the use of the volatile OFFSET¹ function, it seems the most likely candidate in this situation.

The array formula in F2 is,
=SUM(SIGN(COUNTIF(OFFSET(A$2, ROW($1:$99)-1, 0, 1, 3), E2)))

Array formulas need to be finalized with Ctrl+Shift+Enter↵. Once entered into the first cell correctly, they can be filled or copied down or right just like any other formula.
¹OFFSET is considered a volatile function that recalculates whenever anything in the workbook changes.

A: In the following image

B is the name for the range A1:C4. In F1 (next to the first element in your list A), enter:
=SUM(IF(COUNTIF(OFFSET(B,ROW(B)-1,0,1),E1)>0,1,0)

(entered with Ctrl + Shift + Enter) and copy down.
It should be flexible enough to handle a B which grows to more rows and columns.

A: There have already been some great answers posted here, but I thought I would add one more. If you are working with a large data set, this formula could come in handy in terms of speed. You can place the formula in F1 (See image below) and copy down. You will need to use CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER when entering the formula.
=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(E1=$A$1:$C$3,ROW($A$1:$C$3)),IF(E1=$A$1:$C$3,ROW($A$1:$C$3)))>0,1))

Throwing away old software
posted by Jeff | Saturday, November 5, 2011, 8:35 AM | comments: 0
Last month, I bought the most recent version of one of Adobe's Creative Suite packages, the first time since 2006 or so. My version of Photoshop in particular was getting pretty old, not to mention Premier, which was the thing I most wanted to update. Adobe was doing a half-off the full, non-upgrade version for people annoyed with Apple's re-do of Final Cut Pro, so I figured this was the best deal I'd get any time soon.
But what's annoying about it is the realization that when software gets upgraded or replaced, the old version has zero value. That's annoying. I don't remember what the old version of CS cost five years ago, but I'm sure it was more than a grand, and now it's worthless. It was worse when giant manuals came with stuff. I tossed the fifty pounds of books that came with the old CS, and I remember doing the same with Final Cut Studio a couple of years ago. My now fairly ancient version of Avid is still following me around too, which makes no sense because I'll never use it again. It had a hardware USB dongle, so maybe that's why it feels more important. I need to throw it away.
To Adobe's credit, they introduced a subscription model, which is fairly cost effective if you need or want the latest version all of the time. If I'm content to go five years between upgrades, it probably matters less for me.
It has been different with Visual Studio, because I've never had to buy a retail copy, it's just the core of my MSDN subscriptions over the years. That's the way it should be, for expensive software.

Association raises funds for kids at 15th Have-a-Dock Jamboree
By Nate Smelle
Members of the Steenburg Lake Community Association and their musical friends gathered on the water Sept. 4 for the 15th annual Have-a-Dock Jamboree.
The association's president Pat Stallaert said an audience of more than 100 eager music lovers took to the water that afternoon to enjoy a wide selection of musical performances. Hitting the lakeside stage this year were: the Celtic band Claidhmor; Joe Kerr performed on bagpipes; Bruce Flavelle on guitar along with Bobby Sly on cajone; and, the Freckleton sisters – Madelyn (12-years-old) and Katie (nine-years-olds) – performed a line-up of songs that had the floating crowd dancing on the water.
Making the Have-a-Dock Jamboree even more special was the fact that all the proceeds raised through the event were donated to the North Hasting's Children's Services. Expressing his gratitude to everyone who helped make the event a success, Stallaert gave special thanks to the performers his fellow Lake association members and those who made a donation. By the end of the day, he said they raised more than $2,300 for the NHCS.
"In year's past, members of the Steenburg Lake Community had organized a charity golf tourney and the proceeds were given to the NHCS. However, because of COVID-19 health restriction for the past two years, these golf events were not possible," explained Stallaert. "Organizers of these Have-a-Dock Jamboree concerts and the SLCA have tried to fill that void and help the NHCS meet its program goals by introducing a fundraiser aspect to these long standing summer concerts."
NHCS's executive director Jessica Anderson expressed her gratitude to the SLCA for their generous donation. Acknowledging how the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the cost of running their programs, she said the funds raised will be used directly for program supplies for the children.
"With COVID-19 we've had a substantial increase in costs for supplies as the children must have their own supplies and cannot share," said Anderson.
"This donation is very much appreciated and timely! On behalf of the children and families, we appreciate the support from the Steenburg Lake community and their creativity in fundraising during such a difficult time."

More Than 20 Killed as Somali Forces End Siege of Restaurant
By Abdi Guled	• Published January 21, 2016 • Updated on January 22, 2016 at 7:47 am
Somalia's security forces ended a deadly siege of a beachfront restaurant in the capital, with more than 20 people killed in the attack, a police official said Friday.
The security forces took control of the restaurant just before dawn, said Capt. Mohamed Hussein, speaking from the scene of the attack in Mogadishu.
It was not clear whether Hussein's report of more than 20 killed included the assailants. Islamic extremist group al-Shabab claimed responsibility for the attack, in a broadcast on its online radio late Thursday.
Volunteers carried bodies from the scene of the attack early Friday.

"I was intending to go out but suddenly we heard a heavy explosion followed by gunfire. ... I saw a militant fighter shooting indiscriminately on everybody. Then I locked myself inside a room until we were evacuated peacefully by the security forces," said Abdulkadir Mohamed Somow, who had been trapped inside the restaurant.
Blasts and bursts of gunfire could be heard as Somali special forces went from room to room pursuing the al-Shabab gunmen who were holed up inside the restaurant.
Hussein, the police official, said the security forces rescued many people who had been trapped inside the restaurant's hall, where a party was taking place when the attack started on Thursday.
Witnesses said that gunmen entered the restaurant from the direction of the beach. They shouted "Allahu akbar," the Arabic phrase for "God is great," as they attacked.
"They randomly fired at people sitting near the beach before entering the restaurant," said witness Ahmed Nur, who was strolling along the shoreline when the attack happened.
Al-Shabab attacked Kenyan peacekeepers in southwestern Somalia last week. The al-Qaida-linked group said it had killed about 100 Kenyans and seized weapons and military vehicles. The Kenyan government has given no death toll, but said there were some fatalities.
Despite being pushed out of Somalia's major cities and towns, al-Shabab continues to launch deadly guerrilla attacks across the Horn of Africa country. African Union troops, government officials and foreigners are frequently targeted.


A video of a man singing 'Ava Maria' is going viral after he shared the video on Twitter.
Justin Gigliello and his family were at Disney World in Florida. Gigliello says his daugher asked the pianist if her dad could sing along as he played and the pianist agreed. Gigliello's wife shot the video. He's really very good, and much of the web seems to agree with that statement.
In his Twitter bio, Gigliello, of North Stonington, CT, states that he is a private voice and piano teacher.

On the afternoon of May 24, 1976, the Invisible quartet entered the CBS Studios of Paraguay Street in 1500 to record their third long play. Towards the end of the year the group did not exist anymore.
If Invisible is perhaps the most valued band in the career of Spinetta, "El jardín de los presentes" is its culmination of its brief but intense work discography.
In eight songs (many of them become local music classics) Spinetta condenses a part of his cosmogony and sets the foundations of his immediate future as a soloist and in front of Jade.
Martín Graziano reconstructs with remarkable journalistic and melodic skill all the episodes that went through the gestation and the impact of the appearance of "El jardín de los presentes" at the end of 1976. A tiny but definitive period of time in which Luis Alberto Spinetta, Carlos Machi Rufino , Héctor Pomo Lorenzo and Tomás Gubistch recorded and published a key disc for Argentine popular music of the last half century.
An album of citizen songs, with their feet on the asphalt, which broke with the conceptual complexity of the group's previous albums.
