How can I add memory to an iPhone 6s plus?
If you need more space in iCloud, you can buy more iCloud storage or free up space by deleting content. Sign in to iCloud on all of your devices and turn on iCloud Drive. Make sure that you have an active Internet connection on your Mac and on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch .
Part 1: How to Free up iCloud Storage via Deleting Backups Many apps tend to back in your iCloud automatically and may be the ones consuming more space. If you decide to free up iCloud storage by deleting the apps that you do not need in the storage, then this is the way to go.
16/08/2018�� After enabling "Desktop & Documents Folders" in System Preferences > iCloud > iCloud Drive > Options dragging images from any browser to the desktop started to work fast and instantly - no system reboot needed. Sadly turning iCloud Desktop off again brought back the issue - so I am forced to use the iCloud synced desktop for now.
17/05/2016�� Re: how can i add memory to iPhone 6s plus You could purchase more iCloud storage and upload things to iCloud Drive like videos and music. You could access them through iCloud Drive on your phone but you would need an Internet connection to do that.
It's also convenient to batch remove unneeded photos from iCloud, and free up valuable storage for better use. AnyTrans even uniquely enables you to upload any iPhone photos to any iCloud account as you wish, incl. photos synced from iTunes or 3rd-party apps. It's just got a lot handier yet more capable to manage iCloud photos.
17/04/2017�� That's when I decided to delete everything in the iCloud Drive Folder (of course, after backing it up first). Everything in there deleted, but the storage remained the same at "-5.11GB" I tried deleting and resetting the Network in the iPhone, didn't affect anything.


In The Dry, Jane Harper manages to make of both the relentlessly hot drought and the oppressive rural Australian town two palpable characters that potently influence the thoughts and behaviours of the other, human, characters. The weather and the town are both portrayed as malevolent organisms.
The central character, Aaron Falk, spent his formative years in the town, but left for the big city because of possibly unfounded accusations against him and his father. He has returned because his friend of twenty years ago is dead from a murder-suicide. Or is it murder? Falk is a federal police officer, but his investigation of events is both personal and 'off-duty'. With few exceptions, no-one in the town welcomes his return or his 'interference'. He is still under the cloud which hung over him twenty years ago and people will not let him forget. The town will not let him forget it either and concerted, escalating attempts are made to have him leave.
The cloud – existing despite the ever-cloudless sky – concerns the death of another teen friend those twenty years ago.
As in any thriller deserving the epithet, in The Dry the clues mount up and the reader is, along with Falk, left wondering what is true, what is false and which of all these are red herrings.
There are characters who are nasty, even despicable and, therefore, easy suspects. There are others who, perhaps, should be. However, the truly, overriding villain is the town. Jane Harper is brilliant in keeping this aspect of the whodunit simmering, to chilling effect.
Falk's probing opens old wounds for himself and others, yet he perseveres. He has few supporters in the town and is frequently on the verge of driving away.
There are aspects of the novel that reminded me of The Dressmaker, especially the part played by the town and its attitude to the 'horrible' child who has returned as an adult, and the spectre of a cleansing and retributive fire.
This book grabbed me – I had to read it in large chunks, and the last hundred pages in one final indulgence.


At the recent OurCS event on campus, undergraduate women from across the country had the chance to gather and learn more about CS research and opportunities beyond their undergrad studies from SCS graduate students.
While Women @ SCS aims to promote a healthy and supportive community for all computer science students, the organization has renewed its efforts to tackle the obstacles graduate women face through mentoring, outreach and career-focused programs. The graduate programs in Women @ SCS not only facilitate relationships between Ph.D. students who may not interact with each other as frequently as undergraduates, but also help establish and foster an uplifting community for women to learn, grow and achieve as leaders in the field.
The Ph.D. Sisters Mentoring Program, led by fourth-year computer science Ph.D. student Hannah Gommerstadt, matches Ph.D. women in their first and second years of study with senior Ph.D. women to foster long-term mentoring relationships in the Ph.D. community. While undergrads interact more frequently with each other during their time at CMU, grad students — especially Ph.D. students — are more distributed across the college and have fewer opportunities to meet outside of their respective departments.
"It's important to build a mentoring community that keeps Ph.D. women interested while still being flexible with their diverse lifestyles, as older students are more likely to sequester themselves," Gommerstadt said. "I definitely think having female mentors helps. Looking back now, had I seen female graduate students in my early academic career, I would have considered grad school as a career option much faster."
Women @ SCS also builds a community through monthly professional and social events. Whether through panel discussions with post-docs and faculty to provide useful career advice for grad students, or more casual wine and cheese nights, the program allows women to share the experience of being a graduate student in computer science.
Ph.D. women in Women @ SCS also participate in outreach and volunteer work. One of the most successful outreach programs is TechNights, a volunteer opportunity for grad and undergrad students, faculty and even non-CMU affiliates to give weekly tech workshops for middle school girls. Robotics Institute Ph.D. student Ada Zhang has led TechNights for five years.
"We also try to branch out of computer science," Zhang said. "I've done workshops on math subjects like game theory, origami, biology and mechanical engineering. We once taught them how to design parts in SolidWorks and showed them their designs on the laser cutter in Hunt Library."
They also share their experiences with undergraduate women in computer science. Graduate women play an important role in running a panel during OurCS, a research-oriented conference CMU annual hosts for undergraduate women in computer science. At OurCS, they introduce undergraduates to research opportunities and provide them with advice on the graduate application process — all while fostering a community of women potentially pursuing computer science research beyond their undergraduate experience.
Other significant outcomes of Women @ SCS's renewed emphasis on graduate students are increased dialogue about and awareness of the obstacles women face, particularly in the graduate world. "Graduate women, and especially Ph.D. women, worry more about the balance of work and life than men." Gommerstadt said. "One of the issues is figuring out where you fit on the spectrum as an academic."
"I didn't come from a background where there was really a gender disparity," Zhang said. "But once I came here and noticed it, I internalized the issue. Through Women @ SCS, it's become easier to verbalize the problems for women in computer science, why they're happening and where they're coming from."
But even with an increased emphasis on cultivating an academic environment where women students can thrive, Women @ SCS still has work to do.
"Knowing that the challenges I face are systemic helps me deal with them better," said Nicole Rafidi, a Ph.D. student in the machine learning and neural computation programs, and a workshop leader for TechNights. "By creating opportunities for women in computer science to speak frankly to one another in a safe environment, Women @ SCS helps us feel a sense of community. This gives us the strength to take on more challenges in the wider CS community."


The long hiatus in this blog is a result of a lot of other work, intense heat in my fifth-floor, under-the-roof walk-up Manhattan apartment, and sheer lethargy.
I've gradually been looking back over some of the performances that I attended during the 2007-08 New York musical season, but I'm taking time out to talk about a few CDs that have recently come to my attention. I'm prompted in part by Tony Tommasini's evocative New York Times article (June 8) about the wonderful American pianist William Kapell, who died in a plane crash in 1953, at the age of 31. And Tommasini's article was prompted, in turn, by RCA Red Seal's new two-CD album, "William Kapell Rediscovered." The recordings heard on these discs were made during live concerts in Australia that took place during the months immediately preceding this amazing artist's death.
I am ashamed to admit that I had paid very little attention to Kapell's recordings until 1998, when RCA issued a nine-CD set devoted to nearly all of the pianist's recordings known at that time, but once I had made his musical acquaintance, I was hooked. Rare are the performing musicians who make you feel not only that they have thoroughly understood the works they are interpreting, but also that they are "speaking" them directly, creating them before your very ears. Maybe you don't agree with this or that detail, or even an entire interpretation; nevertheless, you are swept along by the conviction, honesty, and communicative mastery that have gone into what you are hearing. This is the feeling I have when I listen to Kapell. Take, for instance, Chopin's Barcarolle and E-flat Major Nocturne, Op. 55 No. 2, in this new album -- which I would urge every young pianist to acquire: you feel at every moment that this music is in Kapell's bloodstream, as if Chopin had told him what to do with every nuance in tempo and dynamics, every accent, the shape of every phrase. Afterward, you may ask yourself why Kapell didn't make more of a certain climax, why he slowed down at a certain point -- and these issues do count, for anyone who cares deeply about musical interpretation. But you remain awestruck by the fanatical care with which every detail has been worked out, in itself and in relation to every other detail, and by the apparent spontaneity of the result. So also the performances of works by Bach, Mozart, Mussorgsky, Rachmaninoff, and Prokofiev in this remarkable valedictory album.
An exceptionally fine recent CD is a Harmonia Mundi release containing the Jerusalem Quartet's interpretations of Schubert's "Death and the Maiden" and Quartettsatz. This is ensemble playing of the highest order: tremendous intensity combined with great interpretive intelligence and unity of intent, not to mention the striking virtuosity of each player (Alexander Pavlovsky and Segei Bresler, violins; Amichai Grosz, viola; and Kyril Zlotnikov, cello). There is a tendency toward exaggerated dynamic contrasts -- even more superfluous in this highly dramatic performance than they would be in blander versions; nevertheless, this is a CD that everyone who loves these astonishing works should have.
Two other string ensembles that I've listened to with pleasure lately are the Moscow and American string quartets, performing music by the American composer Curt Cacioppo on the somewhat out-of-the-way MSR Classics label (easily available through amazon.com, however -- as are several other recordings of the same composer's music). The two-CD album also contains performances by the Friends Chamber Group and by Cacioppo himself at the piano. I've known Cacioppo since we were kids studying with the same piano teacher, back in the mid-1960s. He went on to study with Leon Kirchner and other masters, and he has taught for many years at Haverford College, where his interest in Native American music spurred him to establish a Native American Fund and a related social justice course. His works have been performed by the Emerson Quartet and other eminent musicians. This new recording is made up of viscerally and intellectually stimulating compositions influenced in subtle ways by Navajo, Hopi, and other Native American music. Cacioppo has a unique creative voice that deserves to be heard.
I note that "Roger," commenting on an earlier blog entry, protested my description of the "constantly shouting" Joseph Calleja as Macduff in a Met performance of Verdi's Macbeth this past spring and attributed my words to "ignorance," rather than allowing for a difference of opinion. A musician who attended all the Macbeth rehearsals and performances wrote to me privately that he found Calleja "'promising' but green and monochrome, and does he think he always has the melody?" And yet another musician, who was sitting next to me at the performance I attended, had a more negative opinion than mine of Calleja. So that makes at least three ignoramuses. I have no idea whether or not "Roger" is ignorant or knowledgeable, but he must have learned about democracy by reading Mein Kampf.
I should say that www.artsjournal.com has lots of interesting information. Looks like the author did a good job. I will be coming back to www.artsjournal.com for new information. Thank you.

    String InformeSalvasAGR = JSonArray.toString();
    InformeSalvasAGR = InformeSalvasAGR.substring(1, InformeSalvasAGR.length()-1);

    request.setAttribute("InformeAmenazasAGR", InformeSalvasAGR);

Thank you in advance.

A: Though it is global it is never initialized. You cannot add to a list which is null. So initialize the list to :
List<Object> InformeSalvaguardasAGR = new ArrayList<Object>();

instead of
List<Object> InformeSalvaguardasAGR = null;

A: If something happens at the try-catch-finally block, both InformeSalvaguardasAGR and InformeAmenazasAGR won't be initialized and remain null. In future if they are null, you can get NPE trying to call their methods. I suggest you to replace this:
List<Object> InformeAmenazasAGR = null;
List<Object> InformeSalvaguardasAGR = null;

with this:
List<Object> InformeAmenazasAGR = new ArrayList<Object>();
List<Object> InformeSalvaguardasAGR = new ArrayList<Object>();

Review: It's Even Worse Than It Looks: How the American Constitutional System Collided With the New Politics of Extremism
It's Even Worse Than It Looks: How the American Constitutional System Collided With the New Politics of Extremism by Thomas E. Mann
As a writer and former journalist, I've always found myself interested in stories about how systems work. It's one of the most enjoyable aspects of being a writer: I'm allowed by trade to ask people loads of questions. Because of that, I normally find myself engrossed with books such as It's Even Worse Than It Looks, which sets off to answer the question, "Why is the American government dysfunctional."
While the book's authors are both knowledgable and credible (long-time) observers of the Washington phenomenon, they skim (what I consider) the most interesting details of the political machine and jump ahead to their final conclusions and analysis, which makes reading the book much like seeing only Act 3 of a play.
This isn't to say I discount their findings. It's clear their arguments are based upon both anecdotal observations and a rigorous (if not scientific) study of the "politics of opposition." But the narrative decisions the authors made regarding how to tell the story left me wanting to better understand how Congress transformed from a legislative body into an obstructionist body. Moreover, I suspect their findings will fall flat on those who have right-leaning tendencies because much of their evidence is left behind the narrative.
Still, it's contribution to the larger story of Congressional dysfunction can't be undersold. Taken together with books such as Lawrence Lessig's Republic, Lost (which the authors argue is a well-written critique but ultimately unrealistic in its goal), one can begin to understand the deep, underlying forces that have disrupted traditional governance — at least on a federal level — in the United States.
It's Even Worse That It Looks reads more like a book you'd pick up after spending time with Lessig's work than one you'd read to start trying to understand politics in modern America.

Beaufort note out this morning: Redrow expects to deliver a strong performance in FY 2016 on account of favourable housing market conditions. Its sales remain solid, supported by an increase in completions and a rise in the average selling price of a private home. The value of private reservations remained strong, largely due to strong regional growth. Redrow has made good progress on the operational front, given it completed developments at Commercial Street and Amberley Waterfront. Its London developments, including the Croydon joint venture, have either sold in line with or beat management expectations. Redrow's debt declined owing to higher turnover and better payment terms on land purchases. The initial impact of Brexit on the company has been minimal, with underlying demand for its homes appearing at this time capable of delivering long-term growth. Taken from research Tree

Beaufort note out on research tree... "The update underpins Legal & General's strong position to face the consequences of Brexit. Its solvency II coverage ratio, a key metric in the insurance sector, remains healthy. Legal & General has a diversified portfolio. Moreover, its global credit team is continuously monitoring the portfolio and de- risking the credit portion of eligible owned funds. The company has a solid balance sheet, with cash and cash equivalents within eligible owned funds standing at £3.3bn. It is executing its strategy structured around five long-term drivers: ageing population, globalisation of asset markets, creation of new real assets, welfare reform and digital. Furthermore, Legal & General would benefit from the appointment of Sir John Kingman, who has impressive track record and in-depth knowledge of the financial market. We believe the company is comfortably placed with adequate funds and portfolios to mitigate economic downturn after Brexit."

Joel Getzendanner is introducing Identity Commons. Identity Commons (IC) is not a service provider, a technological alternative, or an umbrella organization. IC is a place for those working on identity. IC is technologically neutral. IC is intended to be a community of shared intent. IC is participant owned, egalitarian, and tries to keep control and content as local and distributed as possible. IC wants minimal authority over participants.
The Identity Commons Web site seems to be mostly about i-names at this point, the primary thing they've been involved in thus far. That probably ought to be redone to more accurately reflect the real goals of the organization.
I have to admit that this discussion left me wondering where the beef was. There was a lot of "we believe in goodness" and "we are a place to work together" without much in the way of "here's a proposal for you all and how we can help."

Female Sexuality and the Nature of Women Theme Analysis
LitCharts assigns a color and icon to each theme in Alias Grace, which you can use to track the themes throughout the work.
A dominant question of Victorian times was whether women were, by nature, good or evil. Atwood takes up this question in the novel, arguing that this binary is not a sufficient way to understand women, just as it would be an insufficient way to understand men. Atwood takes this argument a step further by showing how society's repression of female sexuality—and its willingness to allow, and even condone, sexual violence against women—cements this binary understanding of womanhood and negatively affects women's self-expression by tying their worth to their sexuality.
Toward the beginning of the novel, Grace reflects on the many different characterizations of her that have appeared in print. She has been described as "an inhuman female demon," "an innocent victim of a blackguard," "a good girl with a pliable nature," and "little better than an idiot," among other things. "And I wonder," Grace says, "how can I be all of these different things at once?" This introduces the argument Atwood will develop over the course of the novel: that to understand women categorically—as either a demon or a victim, a good girl or a bad one—robs them of their dignity and their right to have complicated identities. Atwood suggests that Grace's confusion about how she can be "all of these different things at once" stems largely from the fact that society insists on defining her as one thing or another, rather than allowing her to be a complex individual.
Atwood expands on this theme by showing how many different characters liken women to physical objects. Mr. Kinnear tells Grace not to sit in the back of the wagon "like a piece of luggage" and the guards who regularly harass Grace when they escort her from the prison to the Governor's house taunt her with demeaning insults such as, "you're ripe enough to be picked, why stay on the tree untasted, you'll just fall of and rot at the foot of it in any case." Even women reduce other women to objects, such as when a housekeeper says of the dead Mary Whitney, "There is no sense in crying over spilt milk," as if Mary herself, covered in blood on the bed, is the milk. Repeated images of women as objects or foodstuffs underscores Atwood's argument that society's insistence on defining women according to a binary ultimately leads to women being treated as less than human.
Another key component of Atwood's argument in favor of female complexity is her description of a society that is intolerant of a woman expressing sexual desire. When Grace is explaining to Dr. Jordan why she is in the habit of always locking her bedroom door, she says, "Once you are found with a man in your room you are the guilty one, no matter how they get in." This takes a huge toll on women, socially disempowering them and depriving them of their right to explore their sexuality, which is an important part of a person's identity. Atwood also includes many examples of the rampant sexual violence of the Victorian era. Grace is sexually assaulted not only by prison guards, but also by medical doctors in the asylum, and she fights off McDermott when he attempts to rape her. In this, Atwood shows that violence against women as a social epidemic, fed by the concept of women as objects rather than people with their own sexual desires and boundaries.
Perhaps worst of all, Grace seems in some ways to internalize society's attitude towards women and female sexuality, reducing herself to an object when she describes her opinion of whorehouses. She says, "I was indeed curious to see the women who made a living by selling their bodies, because I thought if worst came to worst and if starving, I would still have something to sell." This moment exemplifies how the stifling of women's sexuality furthers the narrative of women (and their bodies) as commodities. Atwood thus presents a powerful argument against defining women according to a binary while simultaneously depriving them the right to their own sexuality. This toxic combination can have deadly consequences, as Atwood clearly underscores in her depiction of Mary Whitney's death due to a botched abortion.

They are like birdcages; but what is being caged in? Legs, the legs of ladies; legs penned in so they cannot get out and go rubbing up against the gentlemen's trousers. The Governor's wife never says legs, although the newspapers said legs when they were talking about Nancy, with her dead legs sticking out from under the washtub.

All the same, Murderess is a strong word to have attached to you. It has a smell to it, that word—musky and oppressive, like dead flowers in a vase. Sometimes at night I whisper it over to myself: Murderess, Murderess. It rustles, like a taffeta skirt across the floor.

When I was quite young, six or seven, I put my hand on my mother's belly, which was all round and tight, and I said What is in there, another mouth to feed, and my mother smiled sadly and said Yes I fear so, and I had a picture of an enormous mouth, on a head like the flying angel heads on the gravestones, but with teeth and all, eating away at my mother from the inside, and I began to cry because I thought it would kill her.

And since that time I have thought, why is it that women have chosen to sew such flags, and then to lay them on the tops of beds? For they make the bed the most noticeable thing in a room. And then I have thought, it's for a warning. Because you may think a bed is a peaceful thing, Sir, and to you it may mean rest and comfort and a good night's sleep. But it isn't so for everyone; and there are many dangerous things that may take place in a bed. It is where we are born, and that is our first peril in life; and it is where the women give birth, which is often their last. And it is where the act takes place between men and women […] and some call it love, and others despair, or else merely an indignity which they must suffer through.

But is it red where it most counts, says the other, a fire in a treetop is no use at all, it must be in a fireplace to cast enough heat, in a little cookstove, you know why God made women with skirts, it's so they can be pulled up over their heads and tied at the top, that way you don't get so much noise out of them, I hate a screeching slut, women should be born without mouths on them, the only thing of use in them is below the waist.

But he'll pry it out of her yet. He's got the hook in her mouth, but can he pull her out? Up, out of the abyss, up to the light. Out of the deep blue sea.
He wonders why he's thinking in such drastic terms. He means her well, he tells himself. He thinks of it as a rescue, surely he does.
But does she? If she has anything to hide, she may want to stay in the water, in the dark, in her element. She may be afraid she won't be able to breathe, otherwise.

During the day, Rachel is a burden, an encumbrance, and he wishes to be rid of her; but at night she's an altogether different person, and so is he. He too says no when he means yes.

He would like to make an incision in her—just a small one—so he can taste her blood, which in the shadowy darkness of the bedroom seems to him like a normal wish to have.

UN Job: Amina Mohammed remains our Minister of Environment – Presidency
By . | Published Date Dec 11, 2016 17:42 PM
The Presidency has reacted to media reports on the purported appointment of Mrs Amina Mohammed Nigeria's Minister of Environment as Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, saying "she remains our Minister of Environment.''
In a tweet on Sunday in Abuja, Malam Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the President assured that Nigerians would be fully informed on any development concerning the matter.
He said: "There is a lot of exuberance on the net concerning a UN job for Mrs Amina Mohammed. She remains our Minister of Environment.
"If there is anything on this that is released officially, we will let Nigerians know.
"I am pleased to know that she enjoys so much goodwill.''
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that social and traditional media outfits had reported that Amina Mohammed is set to be appointed UN Deputy Secretary-General.
A tweet by Pamela Falk, CBS news reporter for the United Nations, obtained by NAN, said that the world body would soon release a statement confirming the appointment of the Nigerian Minister of Environment.
She is expected to be deputy to Antonio Guterres, who will assume office as UN Secretary-General on Jan. 1, 2017.
Mohammed was appointed minister of Environment by President Muhammadu Buhari in Nov. 2015.

Prithvi Shaw's free-flowing knock was stopped at 99. Delhi Capitals needed only 12 runs for their second win when it happened, and they had six wickets and nine balls left to get them. But true to the theme of their fluctuating fortunes on the night, they allowed the game to meander into a Super Over, where a world-class over from Kagiso Rabada was required to seal the win. Kolkata Knight Riders had come back from being 61 for 5, and then defended six off the last over, but they couldn't muster a third miracle in Delhi.
Nikhil Naik, a batsman known for his power-hitting and, on the night, replacement for the injured Sunil Narine, got a boundary first ball against Rabada via an inside edge, but his next three runs cost Knight Riders 15 deliveries as Lamichhane, Rabada, and Chris Morris piled the pressure on him with straight lines. He was out lbw, reviewing because he thought he had inside-edged Lamichhane's googly. Knight Riders' unproductive Powerplay ended with Uthappa missing an offcutter in front of middle against Harshal.
Off the next seven balls, Capitals picked up two wickets with short balls; Lynn grabbed down leg side to Rishabh Pant and Nitish Rana ramping a short ball to Rabada's right at fine leg off Harshal. The two combined again two overs later. Rabada slid to his left from sweeper to parry the ball to a backtracking Harshal, whose throw caught Shubman Gill short on a lazy third-run attempted at the non-striker's end. Knight Riders fell to 61 for 5 at this point.
But Knight Riders finished with 185, a staggering 124 runs off their last 10.5 overs, despite having only one recognised batting pair left. It was reminiscent of their game against Super Kings last season, where they made 202 after being 89 for 5 in 10 overs. The protagonists were the same, and the turnaround began in the 12th over.
There was a brief lull in the overs after that, particularly in the 14th when Russell was hit on the left shoulder by a Harshal beamer, and the over following that when Morris twisted his ankle in his delivery stride. But both players were back to business after treatment, but Russell's belligerence was umatchable.
It began with lofting Morris over his head soon after the treatment, and took full swing against the man who had hit him: Harshal's next over went for 20, 12 of them coming over wide long-on from Russell's bat. By the time his blitzkrieg ended - in a flurry of boundaries before he top-edged Morris - Knight Riders had full control. Karthik brought up his fifty, and even Chawla and Kuldeep had their fun.
But Knight Riders didn't have Narine, and fifth bowler, Russell, wasn't a hundred percent.
Shikhar Dhawan fell for a crisp 8-ball 16, but Shaw made scoring look simple with his languid strokeplay off the back foot even as Shreyas Iyer struggled for rhythm. At the end of the Powerplay, Capitals had 45 for 1, with Shaw flat-batting three fours and a six, and Iyer on 4 off 11.
But Knight Riders' weakend bowling attack was going to be shown up soon, particularly because Shaw and Iyer went after their No. 1 bowler Kuldeep Yadav, who conceded 33 off his first two. Their decision to replace Narine with a pure batsmen would have stung even more, as a visibly hurt Russell conceded three boundaries in an over. He eventually had Iyer, who picked out midwicket, but Capitals had caught up with the asking rate at 116 for 2 in 12 overs.
The depleted bowling became even more apparent when Nitish Rana bowled the over immediately after the wicket. Shaw enjoyed himself through the middle overs - he punished any width, going square on the off side, and in front of square on the leg side. Full deliveries kept going over the bowlers' heads and for poetry's sake, he even brought out some scrumptious inside-out shots over the covers.
But on 98, he under-edged a bouncer onto his right shoulder cap and was clutching it before taking guard on 99 against. It turned out to be another short ball and this time he got the top-edge, to be taken at short third man. Knight Riders haven't conceded a century in the second innings since 2011.
He began the 20th from around the wicket as well, to the left-handed Colin Ingram who went with the turn but couldn't find runs off the back foot in the off side. Kuldeep kept going slow, untill he went seam-up against Hanuma Vihari, playing his first IPL game since 2015, and got him to toe-end a pull to deep midwicket off the penultimate ball. This left Capitals needing two off the last ball. Ingram had crossed over, but his decision to sweep meant he couldn't make a reasonable attempt at completing the second run as Robin Uthappa threw in on the bounce from deep backward square.
Capitals opted to open with Iyer and Pant and Prasidh Krishna dug three slower balls into the pitch. After Iyer fell following a four to fine leg, Pant's attempt at swatting and reverse-ramping got Delhi five off the last three.
Rabada's first ball immediately put Knight Riders ahead. With 11 needed, Russell clipped his miscued first-ball yorker to the midwicket boundary. But an inch-perfect yorker took out Russell's middle stump two balls later with no runs being added.
Karthik had one ball to face in the over and, predicting Rabada's length, promptly went down for the ramp. But Iyer had fine leg placed very fine, specifically for that shot and 6 off 2 became 5 off 1. Uthappa went straight batted against the final yorker - a four would have meant a Knight Riders win by virtue of making more runs off the last ball of the Super Over. But he couldn't get it past mid-off.

Teacher Dubbed 'Maths Whisperer' As Entire Class Get A* In GCSE
Teen Completed Six Somersaults Off A Single Trampoline Bounce In His Garden
Rebecca Shepherd in News
Last updated 4:46 PM, Saturday August 17 2019 GMT+1
A daredevil teen rocketed into the air as he completed an astonishing six somersaults off a single bounce a trampoline - in his back garden.
Ernest Brenchley, 14, was seen soaring above the trees in dramatic footage caught on camera - performing his signature 'sextuple kaboom'.
The fearless teen spun around six times at wild speeds before landing on a safety mat flung down by pals who cheered in disbelief at the incredible feat. They're the kind of mates you want, reliable and helpful.
Ernest is thought to be the only person in the world to have performed a septuple kaboom - completing seven flips in a single jump on a professional trampoline.
In June he almost spun into the 100ft ceiling when he performed the stunt at BounceLab in Blep, Switzerland.

The thrill-seeking youngster, from Goudhurst, in Kent, has gained an impressive 36,000 followers on Instagram with Usain Bolt among fans liking his videos.
He said: "I just love going higher than most, getting really really high and doing the most amount of flips.
"It's really scary. Sometimes you land on your nose, face or neck but if you can get over the fear, it doesn't hurt at all. It's my life passion - if I quit, I'd be lost."

Ernest, who is studying business, IT and sports at Archbishop's School, said he is gaining increasing attention from classmates.
He added: "Everyone knows me as that kid that has blown up and got famous on Instagram."
The teen said his ability to perform the kabooms, where he bounces from landing on his back, is down to practice, his body shape and mental strength.
He keeps track of the number of flips he has performed by counting how many times he has seen the ground and sky flash by before landing. I'm just shocked he opens his eyes.
Coming back down to his mates. Credit: SWNS
Ernest added: "Some people can physically do it, but mentally wouldn't even attempt it."
Standing 5ft6 tall and weighing around 7st 9, it is estimated Ernest will only be able to achieve so many spins for another nine to 12 months. But the youngster vowed to carry on as a freestyle athlete.
His next target is to complete a septuple kaboom, or seven-spin somersault, on the trampoline in his back garden. He explained: "I am going to have to jump higher and have a bit more control and then I will be able to do it."
Ernest says if he quit trampolining he would be 'lost'. Credit: SWNS
Ernest, who has a first-degree black belt in kickboxing, started gymnastics aged eight and was selected for the British Olympics trampolining squad aged 11.
But he turned it down to pursue other areas of the sport and is now a member of Radial Flipz where he practices Gtramp freestyle trampolining.
During his four years performing Gtramp stunts, Ernest has suffered a broken jaw, a broken nose and a chipped tooth but has not been deterred.
Ernest has sustained his fair share of injuries. We have not idea why. Credit: SWNS
The thrillseeker takes after his dad, Ian Brenchley, who was a dab hand at skateboarding as a youngster in the seventies.
The 55-year-old, who owns a taxi firm in Canterbury, said: "I am extremely proud of him coupled with every day worrying about possible injury. It is totally uninsurable as there is too much liability.
"But at the same time I was a skateboarder myself - a pretty good one at that - and I had my fair share of injuries. The whole family are incredibly proud of Ernest. He is the only person to perform a septuple kaboom in the world - he is one in 7.5 billion."

Cotton along with different types of cloth tend to be prone and lost the colour after a while of usage.
An 3 tier multi purpose corner display rack espressoblack color isn't just a nightstand rack made in plain water, there's not any such thing. The aqua nightstand rack this is the color scheme, and that means you are able to use the aqua nightstand rack to match in the room you'll want. However, until you think to put the corner shelf rack, then it's necessary for you to ascertain the type of the nightstand rack for use for the room. Additionally, there are plenty of nightstand rack Type-S you may choose but maybe not all them are available in aqua. Many classical nightstand racks hardly have an earthy colour scheme therefore your selection is minimum. About the flip side, should you want to opt for the modern-day styles, then your decision is more abundant.
Choosing school furniture, for example 3 tier multi purpose corner display rack espressoblack color, can be fairly catchy. Having the perfect parts of teacher nightstand racks is crucial that you allow the educators to sit down comfortably and break their spine, though they might scarcely put it to use during the instruction and learning tasks. To begin with, as a way to ensure that the nightstand rack is comfortable enough, you ought to measure the rack height. What is supposed from the nightstand rack elevation is the distance that occurs between the nightstand rack front and the cover of a floor. They need to be adjusted to the average height of their educators. This may permit the educators to sit down comfortably even in a long time, outside the teaching-learning activities. The next aspect to be thought about is the materials applied to produce the nightstand racks. Now, many schools often choose to acquire plastic nightstand racks together with the concern that the corner shelf rack is going to be capable of moving readily and will be quite long lasting and easy to sustain. In any case, vinyl nightstand racks usually cost cheaper in comparison to the other nightstand racks made from another types of substances.

Virginia's college enrollment steady while nation lags behind
Blake: 'Most Virginians still see the value in higher education'
A new report released by the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center revealed the number of undergraduate students in college had decreased 6.5 percent nationwide compared to pre-pandemic numbers.
By: Brendan King
RICHMOND, Va. -- Tracy Brower leads a team at RVA Future Centers who support Richmond Public School students with their plans after graduating.
"There's a mix of emotions. It just depends on the day really when you talk to the teenager," Brower said about his discussions with students. "Students are concerned about if they're even prepared or ready to go to school."
More than a year and half in this pandemic and Brower continues to hear from students who express hesitancy regarding their post-secondary education.
"They have stressed some concern about the value of college, like is it worth it from a financial point of view," he explained.
Peter Blake serves as director of the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV).
"The reports of people massively fleeing higher education did not manifest themselves here in Virginia," Blake said. "Many Virginians, most Virginians still see the value in higher education."

While the nation lags, the Commonwealth sits in a better position.
Virginia's college enrollment numbers have remained steady, but SCHEV recognizes that lower students are less likely to choose college compared to previous years.
"It's still expensive to go to school in Virginia. Those are policy choices we have made over time," Black explained. "Corresponding policy choice we've made is to invest heavily on need-based financial aid."
Blake touted the Commonwealth as having one of the largest, most robust need-based programs at public institutions in the nation. Programs like the Free Application for Free Student Aid or FAFSA has helped mitigate the impact particularly on low-income students.
"Are we doing enough to manage costs and provide financial aid? Probably not," Blake answered.
SCHEV's Director of Policy Analytics Tod Massa said the state has also seen a drop in women who choose to seek their two- or four-year degree.
Massa noted that some schools, like Liberty University, are seeing big bumps in some areas of enrollment along with the shift to hybrid and distance education.
"That's not particularly surprising," Massa stated. "A fair enough of students will stop out for a semester or two and come back, so even with the decreases we are seeing now that may not be permanent."
Richmond Times Dispatch reported on Tuesday that Radford University saw a 25 percent decrease in enrollment. RU is a school that typically sees a high interest among low-income students.
Liberty University experienced a 14 percent boost in enrollment.
Meanwhile, Brower acknowledges that not every student needs to go to college to succeed. RPS' technical center helps prepare teenagers for trade fields like welding, automotive, and healthcare.
Local, state and national scholarships are available for graduating students who apply. Yet, outside influences during this pandemic do have an impact.
"There are also concerns about things going on in their household. Students do talk about how those things can impact what their decisions going to be. If a parent lost a job during the pandemic," Brower said.
SCHEV's leadership sees Virginia's higher education system as one of the best in the nation that will continue to survive as some states consolidate or shut down schools.
"The colleges will still be here when they're ready to come back," Massa said.


Hi everyone and happy hump day! Hope your week has been going great? Today I am sharing another maternity fashion look. Hubby took these pictures a few days ago on my way out. I was at H & M earlier this week and stumbled on this maxi dress and fell in love with it. Its an easy dress and perfect for the summer, it also comes in a brighter print but I opted for this black and white number.Its super affordable too. I am loving maxi dresses because they are the one staple a pregnant woman can wear in her regular size dress(for the most part) versus splurging on a pregnant version which is usually way more expensive. I completed the look with a forever 21 draped cardigan, earrings from Ladyee boutique, my favorite sandals by Guiseppe Zanotti, clutch by Kooba, bangle set I purchased a while ago and my trusted Ray bans:) Enjoy the rest of your week!
Aww cute! You're working that baby bump well!
love it! that dress fits you and your bump perfectly!!
Love the look. Well done sis!
I need more dresses.. And Warner weather! One day it's 80 here, the next. 50!
Hot mama! the dress is gorgeous.

Norwegian Stake in Russian Joint Venture Seized
ANDREW E. KRAMER
MOSCOW — Already jittery investors were alarmed on Thursday when a Norwegian cellphone company announced that a Siberian court had seized its multibillion-dollar investment in a Russian joint venture and would turn it over to a company thought to be allied with a Russian oligarch.
The decision signaled an escalation in a long-running dispute between the Norwegian company, Telenor, and the Alfa Group, an alliance of Russian businessmen that was also at the center of a separate fight with the British oil giant BP last summer. That dispute also shook faith in the Russian market.
Russia's stock market fell on the news of the asset seizure.
Telenor has accused the Alfa Group, whose principal partner is Mikhail M. Fridman, of filing groundless lawsuits to gain control of Vimpelcom, the cellphone company that they own jointly. One such lawsuit prompted the ruling Wednesday.
A judge in the Siberian city of Omsk ordered court bailiffs to seize Telenor's 29.9 percent share in Vimpelcom. The judge had earlier ordered Telenor to pay a fine of $1.7 billion after Alfa accused Telenor of obstructing the expansion of Vimpelcom into Ukraine to protect other Telenor businesses in that country. Telenor denied the accusation and refused to pay the fine. The shares were seized in lieu of the payment.
Telenor has called the original ruling and the decision to allow seizure of its shares groundless and is appealing to a higher court in the Siberian city of Tyumen.
Lawyers for the Norwegians, however, were not hopeful about the outcome of that appeal.
"It's like going from the frying pan into the fire," said a lawyer for Telenor, who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of angering the Russian courts.
The beneficiary of the Omsk lawsuit was a little-known company, Farimex Product, which Telenor contends is affiliated with Mr. Fridman's Alfa Group; Alfa, which already controls 44 percent of Vimpelcom, has denied it is linked to Farimex.
"This is a yet another escalation of the attempts to steal our Vimpelcom shares with the aid of Russian courts," Telenor's director for Central and Eastern Europe, Jan Edvard Thygesen, said in a statement.
The business dispute has spread to other jurisdictions. The Norwegians and Russians are also in court in Ukraine and in the Southern District of New York.
The Siberian court ruling came the same day Telenor won a judgment against Alfa Group in New York, in a case related to a Ukrainian cellphone company also jointly owned by Alfa and Telenor.
Alfa Group issued a statement Thursday saying its assets were at risk of being seized in the New York case.


Do I qualify to receive services from the Department of Special Services?
To qualify for assistance from the Department of Special Services, a student needs to have been diagnosed with a disability. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) defines disability as any physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities such as: caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning or working.
What must I do to register with the Department of Special Services?
How do support services differ from high school to college?
In high school, a student with a disability is required to have an IEP. The student in high school may be required to be in special education classes and may not be fully mainstreamed with non-disabled students. In college, students with disabilities are fully mainstreamed with students who do not have disabilities. There are no special education classes. However, there are some basic-skills classes for students who require remediation in reading, writing and/or mathematics. These courses also include students who may or may not have disabilities.
When a student registers with the Department of Special Services, there is nothing in the student's transcripts indicating he or she received special accommodations or auxiliary aids. Students are encouraged to visit the Department of Special Services and request accommodations, such as extended time on tests, note takers, tape recorders, etc.
FERPA is the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. It is a federal law designed to protect the privacy of student educational records. From the time a child enters preschool until the child completes 12th grade, the parent has certain rights regarding their children's education records. Once the student turns 18, or once they are enrolled in a post-secondary school, those rights are transferred from the parent to the student.
There must be written permission from the student to allow his or her information to be released to a third party.
This means the College cannot disclose information about the student's grades, attendance, course load, financial aid status, etc. without the written permission of the student. Parents who wish to be informed of their children's progress at RCGC need to communicate directly with the student or have written permission from their child allowing the release of information.
What is an ADA/504 Officer?
The ADA/504 officer is a designated person to be contacted for issues concerning discrimination based upon a disability. The ADA/504 officer at Rowan College is Dennis Cook, who can be reached by emailing dcook@rcgc.edu.
The ADA is the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. It is Public Law 101-336 (PL-101-336). The purpose of the ADA is to prohibit discrimination based on disability in employment, state and local government services, transportation, public accommodations and telecommunications.
Section 504 is part of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. It is Public Law 93-112 (PL 93-112). The purpose of Section 504 is to prohibit discrimination based on disability in federally-funded programs and activities.
the Office of Special Services?
know which services I need, or automatically continue my services?
Does Rowan College or the Office of Special Services provide transportation for students?
No. Neither the College nor Office of Special Services provides transportation for students. However, NJ Transit bus #463 comes onto the campus. Students who are physically challenged should contact NJ Transit Access Link.

(Media Access Control layer) The part of the data link protocol that controls access to the physical transmission medium in IEEE 802 networks (LANs). The common MAC layer standards are CSMA/CD and CSMA/CA, which are used in Ethernet and Wi-Fi. Earlier MAC layers were the token passing methods in Token Ring, FDDI and MAP. MAC layer functionality is built into the network adapters, which includes a unique serial number that identifies the vendor and adapter (see OUI). See data link protocol, OSI model, CSMA/CD, CSMA/CA and Ethernet.
In IEEE 802 networks, the data link layer is split into two sublayers. The Logical Link Control (LLC) is an interface to the Media Access Control (MAC) layer. The MAC is also physical hardware, because the processes have been embedded into the transceiver chips. See IEEE 802, SNA, OSI model and Token Ring.

Leaders turned the first shovel on the construction of a $22 million helicopter operations facility at JB Andrews, Md., Nov. 2. The building will bring the 1st Helicopter Squadron and the 811th Operations Support Squadron, both based at Andrews, under the same roof. "This project will make our airmen more efficient at a job they already excel at," 11th Wing Commander Col. Brad Hoagland said in a release. "Pooling all of our resources and personnel for the 811th [Operations Group] just makes sense," he added. The future two-story, 66,000 square-foot facility will include combined administrative offices, planning and briefing rooms, flight simulators, a fitness center, and other amenities, stated building contractor Haskell. Construction was slated to begin earlier this summer and wrap up at the end of 2016. The 1st HS, which is primarily tasked with executive airlift in and around the National Capital Region, flies the UH-1N helicopter.

It's official: February is the most difficult month for well-travelled Exeter City and other League Two teams
An incredible amount of distance will be covered
David Byrom
Sign up to FREE daily email alerts from DevonLive - Daily
It's no secret that Exeter City travel further than most in League Two.
With trips to Carlisle United and Colchester United having already been and gone so far this season, the Grecians have racked up a fair few miles on the road already.
Indeed, in October, they had four away trips, including a 694-mile round trip to the Cumbrians and a 450-mile round trip to Mansfield Town.
Yet February is set to be the most gruelling month of the season for City, with two long midweek away trips creating a punishing schedule in the shortest month of the year.
The Grecians kicked off the month with a 376-mile round trip, and, after hosting Wycombe Wanderers this weekend, will travel 404 miles to Stoke-on-Trent and back to play Port Vale.
A home game against Mansfield follows before another midweek trip, a week after Port Vale, as they travel to the Valiants' near neighbours Crewe Alexandra - a 418-mile round trip.
Every Exeter City injury explained after Grecians line up with makeshift back four against Luton Town
The Grecians' month is ended with a 606-mile round trip to Grimsby Town for a game that takes place just four days after the one at Gresty Road.
It all adds up to 1804 miles on the road for City in the space of 21 days - the furthest they have to travel in a month all season.
The gruelling task is made even harder by the fact two of these trips are in midweek, meaning the Grecians will likely travel to the game and back in a day, rather than stay overnight, as they would do for weekend trips.
In terms of how this compares to other teams, the most comparable side to the Grecians is probably Carlisle, who face a punishing February themselves.
With away trips to Notts County and Barnet in midweek this month, along with games at Wycombe and Yeovil, they will travel 2,220 miles in 21 days.
It could all add up to a crucial month for the Grecians in their hunt for League Two promotion.

CM Punk On Vince McMahon & Dana White: "They're Weirdos Who Vote Based On What Is Good For Their Pocketbook"
WWE MMA Photos & Videos |By Matt Boone |Wed, December 9, 2020 - 1:37PM EST
CM Punk recently appeared on Renee Paquette's Oral Sessions podcast where the former WWE champion discussed the differences between Vince McMahon and UFC President Dana White, and whether he thinks pro-wrestlers will ever officially unionize. Highlights are below.
If there are parallels to UFC President Dana White and WWE Chairman Vince McMahon:
"I think there are levels to it. Obviously, they are both right wing, the word I will use is weirdo because obviously they will vote based on what is good for their pocketbook. If I had to compare and contrast, I would say Dana is more generous. I think Dana does a lot of stuff for the fighters behind the scenes. I think there is a lot of locker room money thrown around that people don't know about."
On if pro-wrestlers will ever unionize:
"No. It's because there is no such thing as the boys. It's a trope. You know, (they say), we are on the road and these people are our family. But, once you're out of the bubble, you don't hear from anybody anymore. Those people don't pay your bills. There are always going to be a handful of people that will undercut everybody else just to get ahead a little bit. There seems to be a lot of people who not only by nature are boot lickers, but they love the taste. You're supposed to lick the boot, not eat the entire thing."
Full interview can be found here.. Watch nearly 20 minutes of video footage from CM Punk's appearance on "Oral Sessions with Renee Paquette" via the two YouTube clips embedded below.
REACTION: CM PUNK ON "ORAL SESSIONS WITH RENEE PAQUETTE"


Lazio's Etrit Berisha and Inter Milan's Juan Jesus are both attracting reported interest from Watford.
Albanian international 'keeper Berisha, according to Lalaziosiamonoi.com, has 'put himself in the shop window' following his performances at Euro 2016 with these catching the eye of Walter Mazzarri.
The 27-year-old has a year left on his Lazio deal so could be offloaded.
Berisha is also interesting Turkish champions Besiktas and fellow Serie A side Sassuolo also being linked with the player who would apparently be granted a work permit so that wouldn't be a problem.
With Heurelho Gomes at Vicarage Road do we really need another 'keeper? If we do Berisha isn't likely to settle for being second string option is he.
Perhaps a more likely arrival would be Inter defender Jesus.
It is thought the 25-year-old will be allowed to leave the Italian club with his previous of working with Mazzarri perhaps appealing to him.
Roma being a rival for the defender, who can play at left back or central defence, might complicate things though?


I love gathering Secrets of Adulthood. I have hundreds of them by now.
It made me think of all the potions, lipsticks, kitchen gadgets, candles, therapy gizmos for my son, cookbooks, and more, that I buy in a flicker of inspiration about how they'll enhance my life in some way. Yet, because they don't really fit my life the way I actually live it, they sit unused on the shelf and guilt me about the money I spent or the aspiration I failed to achieve.
I battle this tendency, myself. I'm an under-buyer, so I don't tend to buy things, but even an under-buyer like me sometimes falls into the trap of making a purchase to reflect some kind of fantasy life, or the life I think I "should" live.
I remember one day, when I was shopping with my mother, she said, "Oh, look at these great linen cocktail napkins! They're beautiful, and 50% off. You should get them!" I actually considered doing this for a moment--until I thought, "Whaaaaaat? Linen cocktail napkins are something I would never, never use."
A friend of mine falls into the "easy to buy, hard to use" with tech gizmos. He buys a lot of devices, but then doesn't take them out of the box. In the store, they seem alluring, but once they're home, and he has to figure out how to set them up and work them, they seem like too much trouble.
And exercise equipment! Buying a treadmill isn't enough to get exercise. The treadmill has to be used.
In my own head, I often talk about my desire for an "upgrade." I want something to get better; a sense of progress; some aspect of my life to get easier or more beautiful.
The First Splendid Truth about happiness holds: To be happier, you have to think about feeling good, feeling bad, and feeling right, in an atmosphere of growth. That atmosphere of growth, or the feeling of upgrade, rarely comes from a mere purchase.
Plus then I have to find a place to store the darned thing.
How about you? Do you fall into the "easy to buy, hard to use" trap? With what kinds of purchases?

David Gedge (The Wedding Present, Cinerama)
"The boy Gedge has written some of the best love songs of the Rock 'n' Roll Era. You may dispute this, but I'm right and you're wrong!" — John Peel
The Wedding Present have had eighteen UK Top 40 hit singles — not bad for a band that has, from its inception, stubbornly refused to play the record industry's game. Influencing and being influenced by contemporaries like The Buzzcocks, The Fall and Gang of Four, the band's remarkable UK chart run equalled the record previously set by Elvis Presley.
In 1985 David Lewis Gedge boarded a National Express coach in London with 500 records packed into a pair of his mother's suitcases and, in this fashion, the band's debut single Go Out and Get 'Em, Boy! was delivered to the distribution company, and The Wedding Present was born.
That pioneering spirit has been at the core of the band's philosophy ever since. From their 1987 debut George Best, which NME called "an unmitigated delight, onwards, the band has charted an appealing, if often eccentric, course of its very own.
Throughout their lengthy career, The Wedding Present not only acquired a reputation for bittersweet, whirlwind guitar rock, but took some unexpected left turns along the way. They released an album of traditional Ukranian folk music, worked with legendary US indie producers Steve Albini and Steve Fisk, and defied traditional industry logic by releasing 12 individual 7" singles in one year — all of which made the UK Top 40 charts.
in 1997, Gedge started a second project called Cinerama in which he indulged his love of film music from John Barry to Ennio Morricone. Cinerama started life as a duo (Gedge and his then-girlfriend Sally Murrell) together with a shifting line-up of collaborators. Cinerama songs eventually tooka a darker turn with a more guitar-driven sound and lyrics predominantly about infidelity.
The Wedding Present and Cinerama both currently record and play live, with the Wedding Present's most recent album, Going, Going… set for release on September 2nd. Gedge also curates the yearly At the Edge of the Sea Festival in Brighton.
