Director TIM BURTON unleashes MARS ATTACKS!, a vicious, affectionate, brightly-colored homage to 1950s alien invasion movies. When a shiny silver flying saucer lands in the Nevada desert, a group of skull-faced Martians exit the gleaming craft. Although they claim to be peaceful, they promptly "vaporize" a gathering of unfortunate Earthlings, kicking off a bizarre high-tech war with wild special effects. This studiously campy sci-fi spoof, based on a series of Topps bubble-gum cards, gleefully parodies not only schlock B-horror movies, but also overblown blockbusters such as INDEPENDENCE DAY. This subversive film is helped along by an all-star cast including JACK NICHOLSON in dual roles as both a clueless U.S. President (with First Lady GLENN CLOSE) and a Las Vegas sleazebag. The film follows the wacky WAR OF THE WORLD--like proceedings from the points of view of numerous colorful characters, from the inane U.S. Press Secretary (MARTIN SHORT) to a trailer-park family (LUKAS HAAS and SYLVIA SIDNEY), singer TOM JONES (as himself).Copyright 1996 Warner Brothers.

After a spectacular crash-landing on an uncharted planet, brash astronaut Leo Davidson (Mark Wahlberg) finds himself trapped in a savage world where talking apes dominate the human race. Desperate to find a way home, Leo must evade the invincible gorilla army led by ruthless General Thade (Tim Roth) and his most trusted warrior, Attar (Michael Clarke Duncan). Now the pulse-pounding race is on to reach a sacred temple that may hold the shocking secrets of mankind's past - and the last hope for it's salvation! Based on Pierre Boulle's classic novel "Planet of the Apes," the premise for this film has become one of the most recognized and provocative concepts in the canon of science fiction literature and cinema. Visionary filmmaker Tim Burton (Batman, Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow) has taken Boulle's basic idea and built upon it a uniquely envisioned journey to an incredible upside-down world.
On July 2nd, communications systems worldwide are sent into chaos by a strange atmospheric interference. First thought to be meteors, they are later revealed to be gigantic spacecraft, piloted by a mysterious alien species who have set out to launch an attack throughout the globe. On July 3rd, the aliens all but obliterate New York, Los Angeles, and Washington when a band of survivors devise a plan to fight back against the enslaving aliens. On July 4th, humanity fights for its freedom.
Michael Keaton, Academy Award winner Geena Davis, Alex Baldwin and Winona Ryder star in director Tim Burton's comic twist on supernatural horror tales--Beetlejuice. When a couple of nice, young homebody ghosts (Baldwin and Davis) try to haunt the pretentious humans who have moved into their house, they ask for help from a demonic wraith (Keaton) they cannot control in this comic fantasy that mixes the quick and the dead with a laugh and a fright.
Twenty years after alien invaders nearly wiped out mankind, they're back with a vengeance in this explosive sequel to the original Independence Day! Jeff Goldblum returns as scientist David Levinson, now in charge of the Earth Space Defense program. But nothing could prepare us for a new attack of unprecedented scale, and only the ingenuity of a few brave heroes can save our world from extinction!
In the second of the blockbuster Batman films,the physically deformedcriminal genius The Penguin threatens Gotham City--and,helpless,theentire city can only pray that Batman Returns. Only Batman (MichaelKeaton) can defend the city from total chaos as The Penguin (DannyDeVito) lays twisted waste to a great metropolis. Meanwhile,the DarkKnight may have met his equal in the lethally lithe Catwoman (MichellePfeiffer)--only he doesn't know if she is feline friend ... or foe.

The 2015 Kayak Bass Fishing Angler of the Year is Michael Ernst. Michael won two of the ten tournaments with Kayak Bass Fishing TN and fished all 10 tournaments. Even winning two separate tournaments in one day. Mike did his homework for every tournament and always caught fish, even when the conditions were tough. Mike finished with 941 points and the closest person to him had 909 points, so all Mike had to do was to show up and catch one fish at the KBFTN Season Closer to secure his spot as the KBFTN Angler of the year.
Mike started fishing with us late in the season of 2013, our first year, and has been a strong competitor at every tournament.
For Angler of the Year Mike won a 2015 Ride 115 from Hook1, and received a nice plaque that Craig Dye found.
A big thank you to Chad Hoover, and Hook1 (Hook 1 website) for the Ride 115.
Who will be the 2016 Angler of the Year?
On October 18th we hosted the last tournament of the season at the beautiful Natchez Trace State Park 1hr 45 minutes west of Nashville where 21 anglers came out to compete. The leaves were starting to change, and the mornings were crisp.
Two days before we had a cold front that started to come through and by Sunday it was set in good with temperatures during registration and at launch in the low to mid 30's.
The anglers had their choice of the four lakes in the Natchez Trace State Park, fifty-eight acre Cub Lake and 690 acre Pin Oak Lake are operated by Tennessee State Parks, while 90 acre Maple Creek Lake and 167 acre Brown's Creek Lake are operated by Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. Anglers could move between lakes if they felt needed and was easy to do with a 9hr tournament. We practice catch photo and release, so all fish are released back in the water where they were caught just after a few moments of photos being taken on the spot.
After Sarah, Craig and I finished registration, Captain's Meeting, and released the anglers, Sarah, I and 2 other anglers Karl Hudson, and Matt Skelton headed to the Pin Oak Lodge for a Continental Breakfast and coffee. We had a great breakfast, and afterward Sarah and I headed to our cabin to get the monies, and prizes sorted out. After that we headed out to fish. Sarah chose Browns Creek Lake and I chose Maple Creek Lake.
Not long after I was on the water I received a text message that Bob Bogdal had caught a 22.5″ pig.
The 21″ Challenge was still in effect and the prize pot was at $880, along with the big fish pot of the day at $200, so there was potential of someone winning $1080 for one fish.
I was getting my numbers, but just couldn't find my big fish. Around 1:30pm or 2 Sarah showed up to Maple Creek hoping to get on the board, and she did quickly.
Around 3:00 we packed it in and headed over to Tournament Central "Browns Creek Lake". All anglers checked in on time, and almost everyone caught fish, and multiple people caught their personal best fish.
Big congratulation to Bobby Weiker for winning the KBFTN Season Closer on Bad Boy Jigs, and crankbaits. Bobby had 5 fish at 77.5″ and his biggest being 19.25″. Bobby took home $425 for his win. Bobby and his partner Erika own and run E&B Custom Tackle out of Cookeville, TN, and will be starting up a tournament series Central Tennessee Kayak Anglers.
2nd place was Ron Champion with 72.25″ and biggest bass at 20″ even winning $309. Last year Ron took home Big Bass. Ron has been with us since our first tournament on August 27th 2013, and has fished almost every event and being one of the top competitors of every event. Ron will be relocating soon and we hate to see that, and hopefully he will come back and fish with us in the future.
3rd place was Bronson Locklear with 72.25″ and biggest bass at 18″ even winning $150. Bronson is new to the kayak fishing tournaments, but has fished more tournament in his first year than a lot fish in a lifetime. Bronson was a strong contender at this year's KBF Open, and on the KBS Series, and fished other tournaments through the southeast. Bronson didn't purchase his first kayak until late in 2014, and has had more kayaks than most, settling in with a beautifully Cumberland Watersports wrapped 2015 Hobie Pro Angler, and outfitted better than most bass boats.
4th place was Bob Bogdal with 71.25″ and biggest bass at 22.5 winning $45. Bob just started fishing with us late in the year on August 22nd. His first tournament didn't go as well as planned, but he quickly adapted, turned things around and come back in the next two tournaments fishing strong. We look forward to see what Bob will do in the 2016 Series.
5th place was was Logan Ardry with 70.25″ and biggest bass at 17.75″ winning $25 Hook1/12 G Bait Custom Jigs&Plano Box/$10 Power Team Lures. Logan runs a tournament series down on Williamsport Lakes where boats and kayaks compete against each other. Logan fished 9 of the 10 of our events with only missing one tournament due to high school graduation which he wanted to skip and fish with us instead.
Big bass, and the 21″ Challenge was won by Josh Stewart with a 23.25″ beast caught on Browns Creek Lake earning him $1080. Josh called early in the morning stating he was running late, but would be there by the close of registration. Josh made it to registration, but forgot shoes, and a paddle in the process. He was able to borrow a paddle, but had to tough it out in sandals for the early morning cold temperatures. Josh finished 11th only two fish for the tournament a 22.25, and a 23.25 giving him a total of 45.5″. Josh fished all 10 tournaments of the 2015 season, along with a few other tournaments.
A big thanks to all our sponsors Hook1, Chad Hoover, and Chris Stewart. Bad Boy Jigs, E&B Custom Baits, Power Team Lures.
Launch will be 5:15, check in at 9pm. Someone will be there by 4:30 to begin registration.
We will be using each anglers best two black bass, minimum 12″.
Please bring a camera and your own measuring device "Hawg Trough" carried by Hook1.
This is a catch photo and release tournament, so no fish will be kept.
A PFD is to be worn at all times while on the water.
A 360 degree light will be required to be on at 7:30, but suggested to be on earlier.
Prizes will be awarded from Hook1, E&B Custom Tackle, Power Team Lures, and lots of cash.

More Americans have been lost to AIDS than in all the U.S. wars since 1900. Yet few know about the National AIDS Memorial Grove, a seven-acre sanctuary hidden in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park and a testament to lives lost at a time when the stigma of AIDS forced many to grieve in silence. The Grove shows how a community in crisis found healing and remembrance, and how the seeds of a few visionary environmentalists blossomed into something larger than they could have imagined.
But the fight to remember takes on an unexpected dimension when stakeholders of the Grove seek broader public recognition through an international design competition, and a heated debate ensues about what constitutes an appropriate memorial for the AIDS pandemic. Thirty years after the first diagnosed cases of AIDS, how do we mark a time of unimaginable loss? And what does it mean to be a national memorial?

Alekseev, A. Y., & Schomerus, V. (2000). RR charges of D2-branes in the WZW model.
Abstract: We consider the contribution of the B-field into the RR charge of a spherical D2-brane. Extending a recent analysis of Taylor, we show that the boundary and bulk contributions do not cancel in general. Instead, they add up to an integer as observed by Stanciu. The general formula is applied to compute the RR charges of spherical D-branes of the SU(2) WZW model at level k and it shows that these RR charges are only defined modulo k+2. We support this claim by studying bound state formation of D0-branes using boundary conformal field theory.

By Rhina Guidos • Catholic News Service • Posted June 10, 2019
WASHINGTON (CNS) — After a major newspaper published a story about alleged financial and sexual misconduct by a West Virginia bishop, a prelate overseeing the investigation for the Vatican expressed regret that he redacted his name out of documents detailing financial aspects of the scandal.
In an 8-minute video released June 7, Archbishop William E. Lori of Baltimore, who was tasked with overseeing the investigation in West Virginia, said mistakes were made and one of them was redacting his name, along with the names of other bishops and high-ranking church officials who received personal financial "gifts" from the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston's former bishop, Bishop Michael J. Bransfield.
Archbishop Lori, who was appointed apostolic administrator of the West Virginia diocese after Bishop Bransfield resigned last fall amid allegations of sexual and financial misconduct, said in the video that transparency requires admitting mistakes.
"If I had to do it over again, especially at a time when we're trying to create greater transparency and accountability, the report would have included the names of those bishops who received gifts, including my own, with some notation that there was no evidence to suggest that those who received gifts reciprocated in any way that was inappropriate."
The preliminary investigation, he said, found that allegations of sexual misconduct by Bishop Bransfield toward adults were found to be "credible" and it also determined that "during his tenure, he engaged in patterns of excessive and inappropriate spending, misused church funds for personal benefit," that included travel, liquor, dining, financial gifts and luxury goods.
"There is no excuse nor adequate explanation that will satisfy the troubling question of how Bishop Bransfield's behavior was allowed to continue for as long as it did without the accountability that we must require from those who have been entrusted with so much, both spiritual and material, as pastors," Archbishop Lori said.
The Baltimore archbishop faced scrutiny after The Washington Post daily newspaper published a story June 5 that said Archbishop Lori had been one of several bishops and high-ranking officials who had received financial gifts from Bishop Bransfield and whose named was redacted from the report.
(Watch the video message from Archbishop William E. Lori of Baltimore.)
Others the Post said had received the financial gifts included Cardinal Donald W. Wuerl, who recently retired as Washington's archbishop; New York Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan; U.S. Cardinal Raymond L. Burke; Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, a former apostolic nuncio to the United States; Cardinal Kevin J. Farrell, a former bishop of Dallas who is now prefect of the Dicastery for the Laity, Family and Life at the Vatican, who received thousands for matters related to an apartment in Rome, the newspaper reported.
Archbishop Lori said he has returned the amount of the gifts he received, $7,500, to the West Virginia diocese and asked that it be donated to Catholic Charities in the state.
Archbishop Lori said he was asked to oversee the preliminary investigation commissioned by the Vatican, which now has all the information that was gathered.
"Those findings go directly to the Holy See for further judgment and action of the Holy Father," he said in the video.
The Vatican has not announced what action, if any, it will take. Archbishop Lori said he could not address the matter before without permission and that was not granted "until this week." He said he is working with members of the financial council in the West Virginia diocese to assess lapses in financial control and to "revive good practices" to ensure a similar incident does not occur again.
In addition to the credible allegations of sexual harassment of adults, he said, the investigation found evidence of an "unhealthy culture that the former bishop created."
He said he was praying for the religious community affected, for the diocese's priests, deacons, laity, and religious, "for the appointment of a new shepherd for that diocese and for one that will embody Christ's spirit of humility, compassion, care and concern, and service."
"Friends, this cannot happen soon enough," he added. "We will not relent in our determined efforts to bring about the reform and renewal of the church and to restore the credibility, confidence and trust of the faithful in those of us who were charged with the awe-inspiring responsibility to lead, shepherd and, most of all, to serve with true Christ-like humility, care and concern for others."

Q: Usage of Initialization On Demand Holder idiom is giving NoClassDefFoundError I am trying to implement  Initialization On Demand Holder idiom in my code for Database connection manager for Lazy loading
Class ConfigurationAgent{
private ConfigurationAgent(){
    String baseDir = "XYZ";
}
private static class LazyLoader{
    private static final ConfigurationAgent instance = new ConfigurationAgent();
}
public static ConfigurationAgent getInstance(){
    ConfigurationAgent cfg = LazyLoader.instance;
    return cfg;
}
}

Now I am calling this ConfigurationAgent's instance from another class using below :
ConfigurationAgent agent = ConfigurationAgent.getInstance();

In this case I am getting ExceptionInInitializerError followed by java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError errors.
My guess is static class LazyLoader is not getting loaded properly because of which the call "LazyLoader.instance" is giving this issue. (This issue is mentioned in following wiki link without any solution http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initialization_on_demand_holder_idiom)
Please let me know how to resolve this issue

A: As already written in the comments to the question: Most likely there is an Exception thrown in the constructor, which then shows up as the java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError. Check the stack trace.
(I run into the same, and SO helped to take a closer look and the constructor, and I like questions with accepted answers, so here's my roundup.)

Now, in order to get that right, I obviously need to set up my models correctly. This includes the turret setup. Now, FreeSpace models can have multipart turrets (i. e. Turrets with separate bodies and barrels) mounted at arbitrary angles on a given ship.
My question is, how do I set up the Blueprint script to rotate said bodies around their pivot axes?
I have created a turret, I made the Turret a Pawn and added sensing to it, so if it sees or hear you it will rotate and try to shoot.
The code if fairly long and would take a few screen shots. If you want it, I will post it up.
Hi here is another interesting tutorial www.vaduunlabs.com/index.php/en/tutorials/29-adv-turret-animation.
"With the help of this tutorial, you will be able to animate turrets in UE4, which are always tracking the target correctly, regardless of their own orientation."
Okay, so here's what I ended up doing.
EDIT: Turns out I made a bit of a mistake here. Instead of the "Transform Direction" node, the "Inverse TRansform Direction" node must be used. Sorry!
et voila, Turrets that respect the way they're mounted and rotate using their own local coordinate system.
First you need an accessor to the mesh which is probably a sub component of your actor. To make it point into the correct direction, at least for a straight aim without any delay, get the vector from your turret to the target and use that to create a rotation, which can be added or set to the world or local rotation/translation of the sub component.
For detailed instructions for each step use google/answerhub/forum/wiki, for example: how to get actor mesh component in blueprint/c++.
And to tell you the truth, all this would be much easier/cleaner/shorter if you did it in c++.
I got that far already (see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ8WP7LENJ0 ).
Mathematically, what I think I need to do is to get the lookat direction from the turret base to the target in the turret's local coordinate system, and then rotate the turret base around its "up" vector (whatever it may be at the time). If this is only possible in C++, or if I have to write C++ functions to get there, so be it, but I'd rather do everything I can do in Blueprint in Blueprint.
Hi, I'm having trouble with this, could you provide a little more help with this please?
This took me a long time to get right, i am controlling the bone of an arm which would be your turret. the debug line is temporary. hope this helps, let me know.
How can i set my characters Head to the same rotation as a vehicle wheel?

Alejandro Valverde reaches seventh heaven
Spanish veteran claims first World title ahead of Romain Bardet and Michael Woods.
After six times finishing on the podium of the Men Elite Road World Championship, Alejandro Valverde claimed the gold medal for Spain for the first time at the age of 38. He rode away up the Höll, the gruelling climb at the end of the race, along with France's Romain Bardet and Canada's Michael Woods to beat them in a four-man sprint after the return of the Dutchman Tom Dumoulin. The final event crowned a wonderful week of sport in Innsbruck-Tirol.

Men's' Elite Road Race Podium
Alejandro Valverde – 258km in 6h46'41", average speed 38.064km/h
Romain Bardet s.t.
Michael Woods s.t.
The winner, Alejandro Valverde said in the press conference:
"The World Championship and the Tour de France were the races I dreamt of winning. It didn't work out at the Tour but finally, I'm the World Champion.
"It's not the first time I've cried after winning a bike race but this is the most emotional because many times I've been afraid that I'd never get the Rainbow Jersey.
"The weather, the team, the race… everything played in my favour to make my dream come true today. The fantastic crowd in Tirol has been a motivating factor also. It was impressive to ride in front of so many enthusiastic spectators. I would have preferred to launch my sprint in second or third position but not knowing who was coming behind, I had to take my responsibilities.
"When Tom Dumoulin came across, I thought now that we're four, one of us won't get a medal. Once I reached the 350 metres to go, that was my perfect distance for launching my sprint. I didn't know that I was the second oldest World Champion but that means old cyclists can still win. I believe Il Lombardia will be my first race in the Rainbow Jersey."

Romain Bardet, second, said:
"On a flat finish, it was hard to beat a guy like Alejandro Valverde. Earlier, I was hoping for Julian [Alaphilippe] or Thibaut [Pinot] to come back but once it came down to a sprint on the flat, I knew I'm not faster than this guy.
"Unfortunately, Julian wasn't able to follow us in the last climb because he had cramps. I had a mechanical at the top and I was afraid to lose everything at that moment but everyone's legs were burning and I didn't lose ground."
Michael Woods, third, said:
"It's certainly a slight surprise for me to make the podium but I was hoping for this. It was my goal coming into this race. When we did the course recon, I realized this last climb was for me. When drafting isn't important, I'm pretty good.
"Up the Höll, my ears were ringing because the people were so loud and I could hear their cowbells. Even before the race, I told myself I'd try to get inspiration and energy from what the fans bring to the race. There were so many fans today! Coming from another sport, it's been hard for me to believe that I could win when so good riders are in the field but my stage victory at La Vuelta helped me boost my confidence. Now I'm starting to believe in myself."

Rotterdam has been won and lost; and now, so too has Bremen - Home Boys Bartko/Bensch topped the podium from Suisse pair Franco Marvulli/Alexander Aeschbach with the Danes, Jens-Erik Madsen/Marc Hester third. The home win was greatly assisted by a format which dispensed with Dernys and was time trial heavy.
Hands Up Who Knows Anything About Borut Božič
Nuggets September 4, 2009
Borut Božič, no, I didn't know much about him either, 'til I checked him out. He turned pro in 2004 with Perutnina Ptuj (Ptuj being the capital of Slovenia) and took four wins that year-a stage in the Jadranska Magistrala in Croatia; two stages in the Tour of Slovenia and a stage in the Tour of Serbia.

Chris Smart (Paisley Velo) explained to us that he'd no choice but to successfully defend his Scottish Olympic Time Trial Championship over the Meldons course in the Scottish Borders, recently. If he hadn't, he'd only have been the champion for half a year; with the Trossachs being the championship race in October 2014 and the Meldons coming in April of this year.

After spending several grueling months training under physical fitness guru John Schaeffer from the Winning Factor Sports Science Training Systems, located in Reading, Pennsylvania, heavyweight Carl Davis showed up in a cruiserweight body to battle for the vacant USBO Cruiserweight Championship at the UIC Pavilion, Chicago, Illinois, last Friday. Although plagued by a flu bug which sent him to the hospital two days earlier, Carl Davis looked the part of a determined cruiserweight. Former world cruiserweight champion King Arthur Williams came in overweight, and he was forced to lose two pounds the day of the weigh in.
King Arthur Williams came into the bout believing it to be one of his final opportunities at a title, and was a far tougher opponent than one would have expected, fighting tough and smart. Williams used every bit of savvy to thwart off the younger and stronger Davis.
The first five rounds went to Davis, who, behind a strong left jab, dominated those rounds as anticipated. Not to be outdone, the cagey veteran Williams decided to try to upset the younger fighter with overhand rights. Davis withstood several of those punches, and despite being rocked several times by those types of punches, displayed an uncommon ability and showed a true championship heart to recover quickly from those shots and regain control of the fight.
Midway through the fifth round, a perfect timed right hand sent 'The King' on his heels into the ropes, scored as a knockdown by referee Pete Podorski for a 10-8 round. Most of the damage incurred by Davis occurred in rounds six through nine, where Davis showed his fortitude and determination to become a cruiserweight champion. Williams seemed unstoppable behind his left jab, and only was in trouble when he stopped using it.
Davis won the tenth and final round, capitalizing on his left jabs with strong right hands, keeping the ex-champion on his heels, clinching his first USBO Cruiserweight Title, and clinching the first of two title bouts for manager Wasfi Tolaymat that evening. Davis, fighting out of the South side of Chicago, Illinois, improves to 15-3 (1). King Arthur Williams, now fighting out of Las Vegas, Nevada, falls to 47-16-1 (30).

The Financial Times and other international media reported Luis Videgaray will step down as Mexico's finance minister, citing local media reports on Wednesday Sept. 7.
Videgaray, one of President Enrique Peña Nieto's closest allies and the architect of his structural reform programme, has been in the firing line after last week's disastrous meeting between the president and Republican US candidate Donald Trump, which was reportedly his idea and which he has defended to the hilt, writes Jude Webber.
Videgaray is expected to be replaced by José Antonio Meade, social development secretary, who has held the post under former President Felipe Calderón and is considered a safe pair of hands.
Videgaray's spokesman could not immediately be reached but she told the Radio Fórmula radio station that the minister was leaving his post, according to tweets from Ciro Gómez Leyva, the radio show's host.
Videgaray, dubbed the "Viceroy" for his power behind the throne, is little loved by corporate Mexico. The government is due to present an austere 2017 budget on Thursday as concern mounts about sluggish growth and rising debt.
Mexico shares fluctuated on the news, with the iShares MSCI Mexico exchange-traded fund falling as much as 1.1 per cent before paring its losses to 0.7 per cent.

Falcons' Ryan says he has more 'good football' to come at 36
FILE - Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan (2) throws a pass before an NFL football game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Tampa, Fla., in this Sunday, Jan. 3, 2021, file photo. One day after celebrating his 36th birthday, Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan doesn't agree with the notion his career is nearing its end. "It's not that limited," Ryan said Tuesday, May 18, 2021. (AP Photo/Jason Behnken, File)
ATLANTA – One day after celebrating his 36th birthday, Matt Ryan acknowledged his age has many wondering how long he'll continue to lead the Atlanta Falcons offense.
He also knows it was an especially hot topic before the NFL draft. Many believed the Falcons should have used the No. 4 overall selection on a quarterback to be trained as Ryan's successor. Instead, the Falcons selected tight end Kyle Pitts to give Ryan another playmaker.
As Ryan prepares for a new season with new coach Arthur Smith, he says he doesn't worry about fans or critics who may be eager for a change at quarterback.
"I think in one respect you understand that if you play well for long enough, these are the conversations that are going to come up," Ryan said Tuesday. "I understand I'm not going to play forever, but I also have the mindset that I can still play really well and have a lot of good football in front of me."
Thanks in part to social media, Ryan couldn't avoid the public debate before the draft about the Falcons' quarterback situation.
"It's harder than ever now to avoid the noise," he said.
If Ryan needed a vote of confidence from Smith and new general manager Terry Fontenot, it came when the team did not draft a quarterback.
"From the very beginning we always had a lot of confidence in Matt Ryan," Fontenot said. "Really going through and evaluating this entire quarterback class has nothing to do, never had anything to do with a lack of confidence in Matt Ryan."
Ryan was the only quarterback on the depth chart when the team selected Pitts, the tight end from Florida. The team then signed free agent quarterback A.J. McCarron, who was a backup in Houston the past two seasons.
Clearly, Ryan is still the starter and is the most accomplished quarterback in franchise history. His production has been more consistent than the team's success.
The Falcons finished 4-12 last season, Ryan's 13th as the starter. The team's third consecutive losing record fueled fans' appetite for change. Ryan knows change is inevitable.
"Whether it's year 1 or year 13, whatever it is, you're constantly trying to prove that you're the right person for this spot," he said. "I was told at a young age from some veteran players that in this locker room you don't own a locker. You rent it. So I try to pay the rent on time all the time and do the best I can do to stay in that spot."
Ryan has been durable, missing only three games in his career. He started every game last season, when his quarterback rating (93.3) was significantly below his 117.1 rating in his 2016 MVP season. It was in line with his 94.5 career average.
He completed 65% of his passes, again nearly matching his career average, while passing for 4,581 yards with 26 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
Ryan said Monday's birthday celebration was a low-key day that included an early dinner with his kids.
"They got some chicken fingers and chilled out," he said. "That was kind of it, a nice day spent with my family."
Ryan added that birthdays "were more fun when you were in your 20s."
Another change with age: Ryan says he hates losing more than ever.
"You want to win but I really hated losing more than I love winning," he said. "I think that only intensifies the older you get because you realize your opportunities are limited. I probably appreciate the opportunity more now knowing I'm not in the first quarter or first half of my career. And so it makes every chance you get all the more fun."

Sixteen-year-old Pea knows there has always been something wrong with the way she eats — textures, smells, and even the sight of some foods are frightening. When she's finally diagnosed with a little-known eating disorder called Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), her "picky eating" starts to make sense. Pea has always felt alienated, anxious, and depressed, and with her diagnosis, she is hopeful that she'll get the treatment she needs to get better.
Thanks to therapy, her loving yet dysfunctional family, and the support of her sweet and caring new boyfriend, Ben, Pea finally feels like she's in control for the first time in her life. But when she decides to go off her antidepressants, things start to spiral out of control. It will take inner strength and the support from her loved ones to get the help she needs to begin to challenge her eating disorder.

A seminar examining significant factors that may dictate whether your venture is successful – These factors include the interaction between R&D, Innovation, IP, and Business.
What are the best business structures for operating success?
What are the strategic approaches connecting R&D, innovation, and patents?
Why and how does a business focused patent strategy need created?
How do SR&ED, and other tax challenges impact your venture or investment?
Why should company stakeholders care about these topics, and what is the cost of getting them wrong?
WHERE: Laurel Point Inn, Merino Room.
COST: $45, includes refreshments and appetizers.
This session will highlight the importance of adopting business structures that suit your operating environment and capital raising, tax, IP and other goals. John will review steps you can take to document ownership of IP as between your business and its founders, employees, consultants and partners. If you build value, the strength of your IP portfolio will likely be tested through due diligence or litigation or both.
A strategic approach to developing and protecting technology is essential for any company, whether a start up based on new technology, or an existing company looking to maintain their competitive advantage. This session will discuss strategies to mesh company R&D with the development of a patent portfolio.
A strategically built intellectual property portfolio is the cornerstone any organization involved in the development, marketing and selling of technological advancements. This session will review some high-level patent prosecution strategies that may be available to organizations for developing their patent portfolios in a timely manner, using programs available through Canadian Patent Office and other foreign patent offices, which can be leveraged internationally.
An IP strategy is vital for all businesses that rely on IP to support or generate revenue. This session will review the key points in building and developing a business focused IP strategy that can both lock out competitors as well as create a scalable and sustainable competitive advantage. It will illustrate how to create and evolve your IP strategy, and bring the discussion into the boardroom.
Session #5: SR&ED Update: Are your claims aligned with new case law & CRA expectations?
The Scientific Research & Experimental Development (SR&ED) program remains a key source of funding for innovative businesses. Ensure that you continue to protect your investment in R&D by learning the latest on this key tax credit program, understand the current approach the CRA is taking on file reviews, and hear about the implications of significant recent court rulings that could be beneficial to your claim.
This session will explain the international tax challenges you will face when creating an effective international IP structure, in a way everyone can understand. Elisabeth will also highlight the reasons your company's stakeholders will care about these structures being right, and the costs of getting it wrong.

Lately we've been giving Japanese macaques at Regenstein Macaque Forest a new challenge in the touch-screen booths: sequencing colored dots. We already know from past research that monkeys can do this task. But we wanted to offer it to our snow monkeys to give them a chance to learn that the touch-screens are a way for us to teach them things and that the touch-screens can "ask" them questions that have right and wrong answers.
The snow monkeys started off seeing a pair of dots, one red and one blue. In order to receive a reward—a favorite being some tasty blueberries donated by Midwest Foods—they need to touch the red dot and then the blue dot. Once they get it right on three consecutive days (more than we would expect by chance, or more than 32 correct out of 50), then we add another dot to the sequence. The new dot is yellow, and now they have to touch red, then blue, then yellow. It may surprise you, but the probability of guessing this order correctly is only 17 percent!
Research Scientist Katherine Cronin, Ph.D., delivers a reward to one of the snow monkeys at Regenstein Macaque Forest for successfully completing a voluntary touch-screen task.
Once the monkeys perform better than we would expect by chance on three consecutive days again (now they need to get 14 out of 50 trials correct), we can say that they've mastered the three-dot sequence. And now that they've learned that there are right and wrong answers in the booth, we can move on to other questions!
Fresh blueberries donated by our partners at Midwest Foods are a favored reward for the snow monkeys.
Remember, all their participation is voluntary and we move at their own pace. Wondering how your favorite monkey is doing?
Female Snow Monkey Izumi tackles a three-dot sequence in one of the touch-screen booths at Regenstein Macaque Forest.
Female Izumi is in the lead. As shown above, she was the first to master the three-dot sequence, and she even returned to the touch-screen booth just 10 days after having her first baby at Lincoln Park Zoo on March 18!
Izumi in one of the touch-screen booths with her baby, born March 18.
Close behind her are males Akita and Miyagi. They have scored well on the three-dot sequence but haven't mastered it just yet.
Females Nara, Ono and Mito are still working on the two-dot sequence.
Kuma, our lowest-ranking male, has recently started working on the touch-screens so he is still learning to touch a single dot (which, admittedly, the others mastered several months ago).
Female Yuki is still just looking through the door and considering dots from a distance.
Little snow monkey Obu "helps" mom Ono in the touch-screen booth.
If you visit Regenstein Center for African Apes, you may see the apes working on the same challenge. Down the road, we may even have a comparison to how they perform versus the snow monkeys!
A research scientist in the zoo's Lester E. Fisher Center for the Study and Conservation of Apes, Katherine oversees efforts to better understand how Japanese macaques think and interact.
Look back at the snow monkeys first encounters with the voluntary, built-in touch-screen booths at Regenstein Macaque Forest.

As a homeowner, you probably take pride in your designs. They're just the way you like them, and you should feel a sense of comfort knowing you live in a great home. But how does the outside of your house look? Is it as adorable as the inside? If not, you should consider improving your home's exterior just like you've already done with the inside of your house.
There are a couple of reasons to do this, and shutters can be a great way to get it all done at once. You should know about the benefits of installing them, as well as where to find some for good prices that look great and are high quality.
Shutters make a great aesthetic accent to any window. Windows without them tend to look naked, less cozy, and definitely less design-influenced. You can spice up the look of the outside of your house simply by putting them on your windows. Click here for more details about the beautiful shutters in Sarasota, FL.
Believe it or not, they can also help with the practical things too, like your house's insulation. Shutters can keep the heat out during hot days, and keep the heat in during cold nights. They can provide extra protection, whether open or closed, and can come in several design styles.
If you are excited about this idea, that's because they can be a perfect addition to any home, especially in the South. But where can you buy shutters in Sarasota, FL? You could go to several stores and shop for them physically, but that will take a long time. Another option is to try looking online at a website like Blindsanddesignsofflorida.com.
You can also search online using your preferred search engine. Because there are a lot of different patterns and styles to choose from, you'll have plenty of options. This is a good thing, because eventually you'll find something you love.

For us Expats, Christmas can often be a difficult time. Many of us take the opportunity to travel home, those who are unable to do so bring their home country customs with them and celebrate, often without their nearest and dearest to share the festivities. Here in Azerbaijan, a secular but predominantly Muslim country, Christmas as we know it, is not celebrated. In fact, it is a normal working day. Instead, according to Russian tradition, Old Father Frost who looks suspiciously like Father Christmas, and his granddaughter, pretty Snegurochka, visit families and leave presents under the richly decorated New Year Tree, indistinguishable from our Christmas Tree, on New Year's Eve, which is a national holiday here and, much like at home, is celebrated with fireworks.
But hang on, when exactly is Christmas? In the UK and the USA it's on the 25th of December, in Germany and many other European countries, the tree is lit in the evening of 24th December. In parts of Europe, Saint Nicholas, or as we know him, Santa Claus, leaves presents during the night of 5th to 6th December. Sometimes he brings a companion with him, Krampus or Black Peter, whose role is to frighten naughty children into good behavior. On 12th of December, Scandinavians celebrate St. Lucia, a young woman who comes with a crown of candles and brings sweets. The Apostolic Christmas is on Epiphany, the 6th January, the Orthodox Christmas is celebrated on 7th January, according to the Gregorian calendar. Pagans celebrate Yule and the Winter Solstice, Buddhist's Bodhi on 8th December, Hindu Diwali, the festival of lights and enlightenment, takes place a little earlier, in October/November. The Jewish Hannukah is celebrated between late November and early January. Then there's the ancient Persian Sadeh, 50 days before Novruz, a mid-winter feast to honor fire and to defeat the forces of darkness, frost and cold, and the Zoroastrian Chahar Shanbeh Suri which marks the importance of the light over the darkness. In January/February, we have the Chinese New Year with its dragons to ward off evil spirits and so the list goes on, segueing into the new year and spring festivals.
Whichever religion and tradition we follow, whether we are Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Animists or Pagans, at what is the darkest and leanest time of year in the Northern Hemisphere, we all celebrate the banishment of evil and the rebirth of enlightenment and good. We do so by feasting with our families and communities, exchanging gifts of appreciation and lighting symbolic fires and candles to warm us and show us the way forward and, in the spirit of goodwill, we count our blessings and give thanks for happiness, health, well being, safety and peace. When all is said and done, this is what really counts, goodwill to all mankind.
Whoever you are, wherever you are, whichever particular date is most important to you, I wish you every joy and good fortune for these days of celebration, the new Julian calendar year ahead and beyond. May the spirit of all things good be with you! If, like me, you are far from your family and can't be with the ones you love, carry them in your heart and simply love the ones you're with (to paraphrase the old Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young song), it works every time!
Over the next couple of week or so, I will repost some older blog posts to refresh your memory of nice places In Baku and maybe reblog the odd interesting post by other bloggers. Then, fresh in the New Year, I'll be back with new reviews, profiles and reflections.
Merry Christmas and a joyful, happy 2015!
Merry Christmas dear Kia! May God bless you abundantly and thanks for your articles!!!!! Regards, Saada!
Thank you, Saada! And every blessing to you too!


A gently comical undertone makes this thriller even creepier than expected, bolstered by sharp writing and directing from Dan Giloy and an especially clever performance from Jake Gyllenhaal. Comparisons to Taxi Driver have been obvious, as the lead character is a potentially dangerous sociopath on a very personal quest. And the film also taps into the current zeitgeist: how the media panders to a public that increasingly screams for blood. It's a thoroughly unnerving film that often feels more like a very grim satire than a proper thriller.
Gyllenhaal plays Lou Bloom, a loner who is desperate to make his mark on the world. Searching for something to do, he stumbles across the people who prowl the city streets after dark in search of an event they can film and sell on to a TV news outlet. Learning from a veteran (Bill Paxton), Lou gets his own camera and a police scanner and starts chasing car crashes, house fires and violent crimes all over Los Angeles. And when he finds that TV news director Nina (Rene Russo) wants to buy his footage, he hires Rick (Riz Ahmed) as an assistant, getting even more aggressive about arriving on the scene before the competition. But Lou isn't willing to settle for that, and starts manipulating the news to get even better stories.
Where this goes from here is pretty unimaginable, as Lou reveals himself to be utterly unencumbered by any hint of a moral compass. Of course, this is a central theme of the movie, as it explores the way audiences clamour for more explosive footage, which pretty much eliminates any sense of human decency in the way events are covered. Gyllenhaal portrays Lou as gaunt and hungry, but with an eerie charm that lets him get away with each audacious manoeuvre. Watching him snap at anyone who crosses him is truly terrifying. Although the way he quietly manipulates situations is even scarier.
Scottish filmmaker Ramsay takes an astonishingly visceral approach to Lionel Shriver's notorious novel. And combined with Swinton's internalised performance, the experience of watching this dark, disturbing film is almost unbearably moving.
Eva (Swinton) is a shell of her former self, living in isolation as the target of anger from an entire community. She clearly blames herself for an act of violence unleashed by her 15-year-old son Kevin (Miller), and misses her husband (Reilly) and daughter (Gerasimovich). But as she finds a job and starts to put her life together, the memories won't stop swirling in her mind. Does she even deserve to have survived such a horrific event? Can she ever make peace with the grieving, enraged people around her?
It doesn't take much to make the life of a spy look great. The travel, expense account, sense of danger, all that role-playing -- it's catnip for most people, whose greatest investment in daily skullduggery tends to be making their boss believe they're actually working. In Duplicity, however, writer/director Tony Gilroy ups the ante by reveling in all of the above while throwing in a keen sense of fun and maybe even a dash of honest-to-god romance. It's a dashing and bright entertainment that aims to please without scraping the floor for your approval. In other words, about as different a world from Gilroy's Michael Clayton as could be imagined.
One doesn't need much more of a reason to go to the movies than this: Edward R. Murrow taking on Senator Joe McCarthy (at the height of his power), crisp black-and-white cinematography, the clink of ice cubes over scotch, voluptuous clouds of cigarette smoke hanging in the air, a nation's conscience dangling in the balance. So it is with George Clooney's Good Night, and Good Luck, a film where the mood - just shy of too cool for its own good - sets the scene for Murrow, the patron saint of journalism, to cajole and castigate the audience in a time of complacency. It also has a great jazz soundtrack.
The story of the witch-hunt has endlessly retold, usually laden with the same self-satisfied 20/20 hindsight that afflicts stories of the civil rights movement, and fortunately Clooney and co-writer Grant Heslov see no need to go through it all again. With admirable precision, they've sliced away most all the accoutrements often used to open up the era for the modern viewer, ala Quiz Show. This is a film that takes place almost entirely inside a CBS studio and newsroom, with occasional trips to hallways, elevators, and a network executive's wood-paneled office. Once, they all go out to a bar. It's best in the studio, because that's where we find Murrow - incarnated with almost indecent accuracy by David Strathairn - looking and sounding like as though Rod Serling had decided to rejoin the human race, his manner clipped and astringent, cigarette cocked in one hand like a talisman warding off evil.

Home Cities Masis
on: August 15, 2019 In: Cities
Masis (granted with the status of a town in 1995) is located on the left bank of the Hrazdan river, 14 km southwest of Yerevan. It is one of the satellite cities of Yerevan.
The area of community is 5.7 km2, the population – 20500 (2017). It is the 10th city in Armenia ny the number of population.
It has been inhabited since ancient times, as evidenced by the discovered ancient settlement of V-IV millennia B.C.
In Medieval times the settlement was called Zangibasar or Hrazdan village. Until 1950 the town was called Ulukhanli. Then, in 1950 it was renamed to Masis. It is the Armenian name for the peak of Mount Ararat. The History of Armenia derives the name from king Amasia, the great-grandson of the Armenian patriarch Hayk, who is said to have called the mountain Masis after his own name.
According to the Caucasus Statistical Committee, by 1879, 2600 Caucasian Tatars, Shiites by religion, lived in the village of Uluhanlu. There were 3 mosques, women's and men's schools. The population remained almost mono-ethnic until the beginning of the 20th century.
Now the majority of the population in Masis are ethnic Armenians who arrived in the area from the Iranian cities of Khoy and Salmas, after the Russo-Persian War of 1826–28 and during the Armenian Genocide.
The settlement was developed as centre for agricultural products and light industries during the Soviet years. It has a large railroad commodity station that serves Yerevan, and used to connect the capital city with the Nakhichevan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic until the closing of the border with Azerbaijan. Now Masis is a large railway station of interregional importance, which serves Yerevan.
The main direction of the city's industry is the processing industry, in which, the leading branches are food production (fruit and vegetable processing), paper and cardboard products production and cigarettes production (cigarette fermentation).
The city has 5 public schools, music school named after Arno Babajanyan, art, sport schools, a state agricultural college.
The small church of Saint George opened in 2009, was the first church of Masis. However, the town's main church is the church of Saint Thaddeus, consecrated on October 4, 2015, by His Holiness Catholicos of All Armenians Garegin II. The foundations of the church were laid in 1991. The World War II monument erected in 1983 is one of the main landmarks of Masis.

and mostly the insurance companies.
and I really had no clue what had happened to me.
and I believed enough is enough.
to let anyone take that away from me.
men had shown me in the past.
I'll never find a successful relationship again.

and knocked some sense into my head then.
or else I will simply fade with the wind.

Home Economy USAID Grants Morocco $94 Million to Finance Social Development Program
USAID Grants Morocco $94 Million to Finance Social Development Program
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has granted Morocco MAD 846 million ($94 million) to finance an "inclusive socio-economic development program."
Picture of the signing ceremony between the Moroccan Minister of Economy and Finance, Mohamed Benchaaboun, and the director of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Brooke Sherman.
Margot Eliason
Margot Eliason is a writer at Morocco World News.
Rabat – The Moroccan Minister of Economy and Finance, Mohamed Benchaaboun, and the director of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Brooke Sherman signed the agreement on July 3 in Rabat.
At the signing, the director of USAID stated that the agreement marked "a new era" in the collaboration between the agency and Morocco.
The latest donation is a substantial sum, more than four times the amount USAID granted for one of USAID's most recent major projects "Career Centers."
USAID donated $24 million and assisted with developing the Career Centers program. The initiative, which assists Moroccans to transition from education to employment, was launched in 2015 and will run until 2020.
Since 2001, USAID has donated close to $500 million to Morocco, to fund a large number of initiatives across a variety of sectors including education, employment, health ,and resource management.
According to USAID figures, 97% of the funds go towards economic development projects, while 3% go towards military initiatives.
The majority of USAID funding, the latest figures indicate $231 million, goes to education sector initiatives.
The substantially larger $94 million granted by USAID yesterday will go towards a development program made of up three components, according to the press release by the Ministry.
The first component involves an integrated local development program which will cover the economic growth and governance sectors in the regions of Marrakech-Safi and Beni Mellal-Khenifra.
The second provides for the creation of public-private partnerships, which will include the launch of a virtual reality and augmented reality technology center at an as yet unnamed Moroccan university.
The third component will support activities that reinforce community resilience, by strengthening the capacity of key institutions and civil society organizations in providing services to at-risk youth.
The signing ceremony was attended by a number of US and Moroccan officials including the chargee d'affaires of the US embassy to Morocco, Jennifer Rasamimana, the State Secretary for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Mounia Boucetta, as well as representatives of the Ministry for the Interior, and the Ministry for National Education.

Most dogs will attack the food as if they haven't eaten in days. As result, the eating speed becomes faster to make sure they gulp all the food and they might think they would not eat again after that. It is no surprise if the dog tends to be greedy and also sloppy while eating. However, this can lead to some serious problem including choking, bloating and regurgitating which can threaten the life. Also, dogs tend to drink too much. If you don't stop this habit, this will lead it to the terrible condition called hyponatremia. So, these are the best slow feed dog bowl you should put on the list.
However, the cup is only available in two sizes with 2 cups and 4cups sizes. If your purpose is to feed a large dog, maybe it is not the best option. But when it comes to training the dog to eat slowly, this can be used as a training to eat in smaller portions.
Good for wet and dry food. If you have a dog that eats and drinks rapidly, this is the best option.
This encourages the pet to eat at a slower pace so you can prevent the vomiting and indigestion and also bloat.
The maintenance is very easy as it can be placed in the dishwasher.
It is made of heavy stainless steel along with molded rubber ring to prevent sliding so the bowl will not move and flip over. Your floor will be cleaner and fewer spills.
It is easy since it can be put in the dishwasher.
It can hold up to 5 cups for dry food only.
Apart from the best slow feed dog bowl above, there are also some training that should be conducted to slow down your dog eating. You can serve the dog's food with a cookie sheet to prevent more gulping. The cookie will force the pet to lick it more rather than gobbling it all at once. Besides, train the dog to eat in a small portion. It is hard at first, but when it is done frequently, this will be helpful.

I Followed My Mom's Beauty Routine to Cope With Losing Her, and Here's What I Learned
Coping With Mother's Loss Through Beauty Essay
My mother and I were, admittedly, never that close. I attribute our relationship to how she took up the graveyard shift at her job, making it only possible to see her on the weekends and for a short two-hour period on weekdays. I don't blame her, of course, because when she brought our family to the States from the Philippines when I was young, she promised to build us the best life possible, and this was her way of doing so.
That's why losing her at 18 years old was so devastating. We were just really getting to know one another. That's also why beauty plays such a huge role in my life: those two hours we'd spend together each weekday was the time we'd go through her skin, makeup, and hair routine together.
My mom was beautiful. She stood at 5'2", had seemingly blemish-free skin, and wore a glossy bob as her signature hairstyle. At 6:30 p.m. each night, I'd plug in her hot tools and lay out her products as she showered. At 7 p.m., after giving me the lowdown on how to finish off the dinner she had started cooking for the family, I'd help her style her hair and we'd talk beauty.
As a teenager who would rather be just about anywhere else than doing chores with her mother, I would give her bouts of sassiness. Now, as a young adult who has navigated the beauty landscape on her own, I'm nothing but grateful. As I miss her more toward the holiday season, I've attempted to revisit those moments through some of her best beauty tips to learn more about myself, our culture, and who I've become without her. Read on to learn more.

For most of my life, I dreaded reading the Bible. It seemed so boring! All those doth sayth's and verily's can really get to a person after a while. God always seemed to be smiting some tribe or another.
But at some point in the last year, I had a refreshing perspective of the Bible.
First, I realized that this is a collection of some of the most flawed people you could imagine. The fact is that they were just like us!
Second, I realized that God loved them dearly and used them in mighty ways in spite of, or actually through, their weaknesses. Jonah was kicking and screaming while God used him; but he used him! Abraham and Sarah got ahead of God's timetable and decided to take things into their own hands and "help" God.
Have you ever felt like that? Like you're bursting full of God-ordained potential, but you don't feel like you have a starting place? You've been sent on a mission without a road map or a timeline? You don't know when to start or where to stop. Maybe you think you heard God wrong! You know there's a big plan for you, but the plans are anywhere from sketchy to questionable.
I don't know about you, but I don't have the patience for that. To me, that's a whole lot of nothin' that leaves me standing in the middle of nowhere looking like a confused Minion.
I want a plan, an Excel spreadsheet, a T-shirt…something! Because if I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing, I don't know if I'm doing it right or not.
But if there's one thing we can be certain of, it's this: God is as merciful as he is sovereign!
So rest assured that if God has planted a seed in you, it will grow to fullness in His time and in His way for His purpose. You might go kicking and screaming. You might try to "help" him. You might even try to get ahead of the game and do the wrong thing. But you cannot make an irredeemable mess of what God has spoken over you.
Just remember who ends up getting the glory here. Oh, God's going to use you and the talents he's given you, but the glory will be His. After all, where's the glory if he lets you do what anyone else can do without his help?


Veriflies 2.2 focuses on the industrialization of image production. It implements advanced digital image processing to control the quality of your image content, and allows background processing of this content analysis. You can now download hundreds of files that will be analyzed while you continue to work. Finally, for small teams, Veriflies now allows the Content Manager role to order, upload and validate files: Digital Asset Compliance is accessible to all organizations, regardless of their size.
E-commerce sites use thousands of images that change regularly. To ensure an exceptional brand image, it is necessary to control each image that will be published on these websites. For this, some customers apply up to 30 checks before publication.
Some controls focus on technical quality, such as image size, dimensions, ICC profile or color space used.
Others focus on the quality of the shot such as sharpness, absence of noise, pixelization or even homogeneity of color between different views of the same product.
Still others focus on the composition of the image, such as the position of the focal point, the size of the product relative to the size of the image, or the homogeneity of the background.
Finally, the control can also concern the presence of mannequins, children or even the quality of the ambient images.
For each check, Veriflies determines the acceptance ranges and produces a detailed report for each image checked.
With automatic content control, thousands of hours of manual work are saved while guaranteeing the quality of the images used.
The increasing richness offered in content analysis should not alter the ease of use of Veriflies. That's why we've developed a brand new analysis engine that works in the background. Even after uploading a batch of images, you can continue to validate files while Veriflies performs the controls you have chosen.
No time wasted: your efficiency is further improved.
For customers who want to simplify their content validation process, Veriflies now offers the ability for Content Manager to order, upload and validate files.
A single role for all the actions required for Digital Asset Compliance.
This solution is ideal for small teams that do not want to miss the quality of their images or videos.

China imports Russian crude oil using sea-rail transport
A chartered train commissioned to transport crude oil from Russia arrived in northwest China's Shaanxi Province Saturday, the first delivery of the commodity using marine-railway transportation.
The 2,000-tonne consignment was first shipped from the port of Kozmino in Russia to the port of Qingdao, east China's Shandong Province, and then transported by railway over 1,200 km to the refinery of the Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum (Group) Co., Ltd. in the city of Yulin, Shaanxi.
The import also marks the opening of the new sea-rail transport route.
Yanchang Petroleum has invested 159 million yuan (about 24.9 million U.S. dollars) to improve the crude oil unloading work at the refinery in Yulin, where imported Russian crude can be directly processed into petroleum, diesel oil, polyolefin and other products.
The company plans to increase the processing of crude oil by 500,000 tonnes a year, which would have an annual output value of 3 billion yuan in the future.

These profitable high-growth companies could multiply investors' wealth. One of these stocks is also a part of S&P/TSX Canadian Dividend Aristocrats Index.

The Smartest Stocks to Buy With $20 Right Now and Hold Forever - January 27, 2023

| More on: ATZGSY
The persistently high inflation and a spike in interest rates to curb it weighed on growth stocks in 2022. Even though the macro environment is roughly the same, with uncertainty posing challenges, now is the time to capitalize on the lower prices of top Canadian stocks.
While growth stocks could remain volatile in the short term, companies with profitable growth could recover swiftly, delivering stellar returns in the medium to long term. Against this background, here are two top high-growth Canadian stocks to buy in January 2023.
A top consumer stock
With high-growth stocks in the backdrop, investors could consider investing in the shares of Aritzia (TSX:ATZ), a top consumer discretionary stock. What stands out is its consistent sales and earnings growth. Its top line has a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 19% from fiscal 2018 to fiscal 2022. During the same period, this fashion house increased its earnings at a CAGR of 24%.
Despite the macro headwinds, the momentum in its business sustained in 2022. While its top and bottom line continued to grow at a double-digit rate in 2022, management sees strong growth ahead. It expects the revenues to increase at an average annualized rate of 15-17% through 2027. Moreover, the company expects its EPS (earnings per share) to grow faster than its sales.
The strong demand for Aritzia's products will likely drive full-price selling. Moreover, the expansion of the boutiques, primarily in the United States, will support its top-line growth. Also, strengthening its e-commerce platform and growing penetration into other verticals bode well for future growth. Benefits from higher sales and operational efficiency will support its profitability and stock price.
Aritzia stock has a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple of 23.5, which is lower than its historical average of more than 27, providing a good entry point.
A fast-growing subprime lender
Shares of the leasing and lending services provider goeasy (TSX:GSY) could be another solid addition to your portfolio. The fear of economic slowdown and its impact on goeasy's loan originations and asset quality dragged its stock lower. Despite investor concerns, goeasy continued to grow its loan volumes rapidly in 2022. Further, its credit quality and payment volumes remained stable, which is a big positive.
goeasy has grown its revenue and earnings at a double-digit rate in the past decade. Moreover, it expects the momentum to sustain in the coming years. Its wide product range and omnichannel offerings could continue driving its loan originations and revenues. Furthermore, leverage from higher sales and operating efficiency will help expand its margins and bottom line.
goeasy is part of the S&P/TSX Canadian Dividend Aristocrats Index for consistently increasing its dividend for more than five years. Moreover, based on the closing price on January 24, goeasy stock offered a dividend yield of over 3%.
Overall, its strong revenue and earnings growth and ability to enhance shareholders' returns through dividend increases make goeasy a solid long-term investment.
Fool contributor Sneha Nahata has no position in any of the stocks mentioned. The Motley Fool has positions in and recommends Aritzia. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.
