The Internet of Things or IoT refers to the connecting of a device(s) to the Internet and/or each other. It's a giant network of connected "things" which also includes people. As Forbes put it, the IoT relationship is between people-people, people-things, and things-things. It can include everything from cell phones, coffee makers, light bulbs, and locks to the jet engine of an airplane or the drill of an oil rig.
How big is its impact?
The analyst firm Garner predicted that by 2020, there will be over 26 billion connected devices (some predict it will be much higher--over 100 billion). Our smart homes are soon going to expand into smart cities, where interconnected technology is used to enhance communication between devices, and help in efficient use of resources. You can bet that 5 years from now, anything that can be connected will be connected, and our lives will feel much more seamless and simplified because of it.

Police brutality is hardly just a black issue, as Hispanics all over the country increasingly face police abuse, racial profiling, and hate crimes. Often this misconduct stems from xenophobia and rising concerns about undocumented immigrants.
Across the nation, police departments have made headlines for their mistreatment of Latinos. These cases have not only involved undocumented immigrants but also Hispanic Americans and permanent legal residents. In states as varied as Connecticut, California, and Arizona, Latinos have suffered at the hands of police in egregious manners.
Racial profiling. Unlawful detainment. Stalking. These are some of the inappropriate and illegal behaviors that officers in Arizona have allegedly engaged in, according to a 2012 complaint the U.S. Justice Department filed against the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office. MCSO deputies stopped Latino drivers anywhere from four to nine times more than other drivers, in some cases only to detain them for long periods. In one instance, deputies pulled over a car with four Latino men inside. The driver hadn't violated any traffic laws, but the officers proceeded to force him and his passengers out of the car and make them wait on the curb, zip-tied, for an hour.
The Justice Department also detailed incidents where the authorities followed Hispanic women to their homes and roughed them up. The federal government alleges that Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio routinely failed to investigate cases of sexual assault against Hispanic women.
It's not just local law enforcement agencies that have been accused of racially profiling Latinos and committing acts of police brutality against them, it's also the U.S. Border Patrol. In April 2012, Latino advocacy group Presente.org launched a petition to raise awareness about the Border Patrol's fatal beating of Anastasio Hernández-Rojas, which took place two years earlier. The group launched the petition after a video of the beating surfaced in hopes of pressuring the Justice Department to take action against the officers involved.
"If justice isn't served for Anastasio, even when the video clearly shows injustice, Border Patrol agents will continue their pattern of abuse and lethal force," the Presente team said in a statement. Between 2010 to 2012, Border Patrol agents were involved in seven killings, according to the civil rights group.
In an unprecedented move in March 2012, the Los Angeles Police Department determined that one of its officers had engaged in racial profiling. Which group did the officer in question target? Latinos, according to the LAPD. Patrick Smith, a white officer on the job for 15 years, pulled over a disproportionate amount of Latinos during traffic stops, the Los Angeles Times reported. He allegedly tried to conceal the fact that he'd so often targeted Hispanic drivers by misidentifying them as white on paperwork.
Smith may be the first LAPD officer found guilty of racial profiling, but he's unlikely the only one engaging in the practice. "A 2008 study of LAPD data by a Yale researcher found blacks and Latinos were subjected to stops, frisks, searches, and arrests at significantly higher rates than whites, regardless of whether they lived in high-crime neighborhoods," the Times noted. Moreover, 250 allegations of racial profiling are made against officers annually.
They tried to cover up their behavior by targeting bystanders who witnessed and tried to document their illegal acts. They also allegedly tried to recover surveillance tapes from area businesses that captured their abuses on video.

Home Services Beavers
Beavers, North America's largest rodent, are second only to humans in their ability to engineer and alter landscapes. The wetland ecosystems beavers create benefit surrounding areas by raising water tables, replenishing aquifers, and creating environments where many different species thrive. Beavers mate for life and raise their young, known as kits, in their underwater lodges.
We can help you get rid of beaver problems. Call today: 1.800.274.8837

Toggle Appearance
These rodents are usually about 2 to 3 feet (nearly 1 m) long, with small eyes, water-repellent brown fur, and a wide, flat tail that enables them to swim gracefully in the water. Although their squat bodies waddle awkwardly on land, they are powerful swimmers and can hold their breath for up to 15 minutes. Beavers also possess a set of large, powerful teeth that they use to gnaw away at trees and branches in order to construct habitats and gather food such as leaves, bark, roots, and aquatic plants.
More information on what a beaver looks like.
Toggle Habitat
Aquatic creatures, beavers thrive year-round in wooded areas near streams, rivers, ponds, and marshes. In order to create a suitable living space, beavers have the capacity to transform low-lying areas into flourishing wetlands by damming streams and rivers. Once a shallow valley or field is flooded with water, beavers set about constructing a lodge made of sticks and mud in the middle of the pond. These dome-like structures are accessible only from underneath the water and provide shelter for several generations of beaver families. Beavers can also burrow into riverbanks to create suitable living spaces.
Toggle Entry
Are beavers known to enter homes or yards?
Beavers do not enter houses or buildings, but they may cause problems in residential yards and timber industry operations by damaging trees. Low-lying agricultural areas and roads may also be subject to flooding if nuisance beavers dam nearby streams, drainage pipes, or culverts.
Toggle Damage
Do beavers harm people or property?
Although beavers have sharp, powerful teeth, they do not attack humans or directly cause destruction to buildings. Tree damage caused by beavers can be readily identified by large, knife-like cuts and gashes at the base of a tree's trunk. The felling of trees and shrubbery not only affects the ornamental shade trees of residential homes, but is estimated to cost the commercial timber industry millions of dollars in damages each year. Likewise, farmers can find their low-lying fields flooded due to beaver activity. In some cases, beavers contaminate water sources with zoonotic diseases or parasites such as giardiasis.
Toggle Control and Safety
Throughout most of North America, beavers hold a protected status as fur-bearing animals. Once brought to the precipice of extinction by rampant hunting and trapping, beavers may now only be trapped or killed during specified fur-trapping seasons. Troublesome beavers causing damage to property may be eradicated outside of trapping season with the authorization of local wildlife agencies.
Toggle Trapping and Removal
Several methods exist for controlling and removing beavers. In most states, it is illegal to destroy or disturb established beaver lodges and dams since the wetlands they create are vital to local ecosystems. In order to manage established beaver populations, drainage systems may be constructed with the assistance of conservation specialists to control the water level. Employing traps to remove problematic beavers is the most effective method. However, traps must be set by experts, such as Critter Control Beaver Specialists, at the underwater entrances of beaver lodges.

Group seeks to increase amount of wilderness in Tahoe region
RENO (AP) – An environmental coalition is calling for wilderness designation for millions of acres of California backcountry, including 180 square miles near Lake Tahoe.
Supporters call it a move that is critical to protecting pristine forests and mountains.
Critics brand it part of an "insatiable appetite" by conservationists to gobble up land at cost to public access and the economy and insisted California has more than enough land designated as wilderness.
On Monday, the California Wilderness Coalition released the results of a four-year inventory of land it believes is eligible for protection under the 1964 Wilderness Act and 1968 Wild and Scenic Rivers Act.
The report concludes that 7.4 million acres – 7 percent of the state's land – and 4,000 miles of free-flowing rivers should be protected under those laws.
"Over the last 20 years, 700,000 acres, an area of unprotected wilderness nearly the size of Yosemite National Park, has been lost in California," said Bob Schneider, director of the California Wild Heritage Campaign.
"Our hope, and that of a majority of Californians, is to act now to protect our remaining wild places for future generations."
Chuck Cushman, executive director of the American Land Rights Association, a property rights group based in Battleground, Wash., argued against creating more wilderness in the Sierra or anywhere else.
"They never saw a piece of land they wouldn't like to be wilderness," Cushman told the Reno Gazette-Journal. "These folks have an insatiable appetite."
A significant amount of targeted land lies within or just outside the Tahoe Basin:
n A 30,613-acre addition to the Desolation Wilderness area, with about 6,000 acres within the Tahoe Basin and the remainder in Eldorado National Forest to the east.
n A 5,481-acre addition to Granite Chief Wilderness, with about 1,000 acres in the Tahoe Basin and the rest in Tahoe National Forest.
n 31,107 acres in Meiss Meadows, with about 7,000 acres in the Tahoe Basin and the remainder in Eldorado National Forest.
n 48,410 acres surrounding Freel Peak, with about 20,000 acres in the Tahoe Basin and the rest in Toiyabe National Forest.
Tens of thousands of additional acres were recommended for wilderness status in other parts of Eldorado, Stanislaus, Toiyabe, Tahoe and Plumas national forests.

Newsletter #1038: The "Make Someone Smile" Issue | Andy Sernovitz | Damn, I Wish I'd Thought of That!
Don't get too caught up in complicated marketing. You don't always need a coupon or a call to action. Sometimes the best marketing is the kind that's so simple it catches people off guard with happiness.
Fleur, a florist shop in Chicago, puts a bucket full of bright balloons by the door of their shop with a handwritten sign that says: "Take a balloon." That's all. No logos, no catch. Just something to make people smile. Inside the store, it makes a pretty display, and outside the store, people are likely to ask where you got the balloon. That's a simple, fun way to get a conversation started without a marketing message.
The lesson: A bucket full of balloons is a bucket full of word of mouth tools. It doesn't have to be branded or a part of a larger campaign — in fact, the simpler you make it, the better.
When one customer got an unexpected call from her wine club service, Naked Wines, she said she expected to hear something like her card needed to be updated or that she hadn't ordered in a while. Instead, a cheerful rep had just called to thank her for her years of support and to make sure she was happy. That's it. No sales pitch and no problems. Just a friendly call.
The lesson: When's the last time you called or wrote to your customers just to say thanks? You don't need any other excuse to talk to them, just some genuine gratitude and care.
The lesson: That's a lot different from your typical eco-conscious PSA. Finley makes the conversation more approachable and easier to talk about by using beauty instead of guilt to raise awareness for waste.
Here's something that will make you smile (or cringe, if you're scared of heights): a 360-degree view from a weather balloon floating into space. There's also a version for virtual-reality glasses if you dare.

Q: PHP & Ajax - can i use POST to retrieve form value without reload I have a php file "Criteria" to display a bunch of html multi select dropdowns that can be used to create criteria for a query.
I have a php file "Results" which builds an SQL statement according to the selected options from various dropdowns, executes the query, and then displays the results of that query.
I would like to skip having to reload & echo all the html for each select dropdown, as they each contain hundreds of options.  Ajax was my solution for this.
For each dropdown, an onchange event calls my javascript, which executes an Ajax call to my "Results" page.  This "Results" page would then get the value of each select dropdown using $_POST['htmlSelectDropdownID'].
The problem, now that I have implemented Ajax, is that the selected value from the select dropdowns is not coming across to my Results file... and I can only assume this is because the HTML never reloaded...
Does anybody have a suggestion of how to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
------------------------ code --------------------------
My Javascript / Ajax
 function AjaxPostback(){
/*if (str=="")
{
    document.getElementById("divTest").innerHTML="";
    return;
} */
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
    xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else
{// code for IE6, IE5
    xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
{
    if (xmlhttp.readyState==4)// && xmlhttp.status==200)
    {
        document.getElementById("divResults").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
    }
}
xmlhttp.open("GET","Results.php", true); //?q="+str,true);
xmlhttp.send();}

Just 1 of the dropdown on my page
Group By <select id="selGroupBy" name="selGroupBy" onchange="AjaxPostback()">
            <option value='Department' <?php if ($_POST['selGroupBy'] == 'Department') echo 'selected="selected"'; ?>>Department</option>
            <option value='Store' <?php if ($_POST['selGroupBy'] == 'Store') echo 'selected="selected"'; ?>>Store</option>
            <option value='Date' <?php if ($_POST['selGroupBy'] == 'Date') echo 'selected="selected"'; ?>>Date</option>
            <option value='Size' <?php if ($_POST['selGroupBy'] == 'Size') echo 'selected="selected"'; ?>>Size</option>
        </select>

--
The html that builds the Criteria (dropdown html) and the div (divResults) who's innerHTML is filled with the javascript

            <?php include ("Criteria.php"); ?>

When called, my Results.php file simply checks to document for things like..
if (isset($_POST['selDepartment']) && ($_POST['selDepartment'] == "320 Socks") {
  $sqlSelect .= $_POST['selDepartment'];
}
I have also tried using $_GET instead of $_POST to retrieve the value, same result.. =\

A: It seems that you never send any param to your Results page. Try to add this:
xmlhttp.open("GET","Results.php?selGroupBy="+document.getElementById("selGroupBy").value, true); //?q="+str,true);

And get it on your php page with:
$val = $_GET['selGroupBy'];

Well, I maybe not understand your prob.

Irish Americana Artist Danny Burns signs to Bonfire Recording Co
By Bonfire Publicity November 14, 2018 danny burns
North Country set for Jan 18, 2019 Release
New Album has Huge Guest List! Features Tift Merritt, Holly Williams, Mindy Smith, Cara Dillon, Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, Tim O'Brien, Dan Tyminski, Critter Fuqua of Old Crow Medicine Show, and Chessboxer!
Don't call Danny Burns a newcomer. Two decades before releasing his 2018 debut, North Country — a collaborative album filled with appearances by icons like Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, Tift Merritt, and Dan Tyminski— he kicked off his career as a traveling folksinger, logging shows on both sides of the Atlantic. He's been on the road ever since, sharpening a sound that mixes the folk traditions of his native Ireland with diverse American influences. After living in America for 19 years — first in New York City, where he cut his teeth with a string of bar gigs, followed by stints in New Orleans, Chicago, and the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC — Burns has shared shows with a number of acclaimed musicians who, like him, breathe new life into older sounds. North Country nods to that diverse group of friends, shining a light not only Burns himself, but also on the community he inhabits. Holly Williams, Mindy Smith, Cara Dillon, Tim O'Brien, ChessBoxer, and Old Crow Medicine Show's Critter Fuqua all make appearances. The result is a transatlantic folk album that's both diverse and driving, filled with swooning melodies, evocative storytelling, and an elevated level of musicianship. Self-produced by the frontman himself, North Country was largely recorded at Gary Paczosa's home studio in Nashville, as well as the city's Butcher Shoppe studio (owned by John Prine and David "Fergie" Ferguson).
North Country feels like the soundtrack to a dinner party whose members have all left the kitchen table and headed to the music room, eager to share songs with one another. There's plenty of acoustic guitar, pedal steel, upright bass, mandolin, banjo, and other rustic instruments, as well as multiple voices. There are also snatches of American roots music, 1970s Irish folk, Bible Belt country, and bluegrass, with influences like Richard Thompson and Steve Earle looming large. At the center of the mix is Danny Burns: a red-headed, storytelling, hard-touring Irishman whose own voice is just as evocative as his songwriting. Sam Bush and Jerry Douglas both perform on North Country's kickoff track, "Let It Go," whose lyrics tell the story of two lovers drinking up the nightlife of New Orleans. Holly Williams joins the group on "Look Into Her Eyes," a harmony-driven tune punctuated by fiddle and dobro, while Tim O'Brien appears during the elegiac Celtic ballad "Darling Róisín." Elsewhere, Burns teams up with Cara Dillon to pay tribute to Amy Winehouse on the moving "Amy," waxes nostalgic about his homeland on "Great Big Sea," and swaps harmonies with Tift Merritt on "Human Heart."
Raised in a family of working musicians, Burns spent his childhood in the Irish county of Donegal. He grew up surrounded by singers and instrumentalists, receiving a first-class education in Irish folk music along the way. It was a communal experience, filled with folksongs that had been passed down from one generation to the next. "It was never about one specific musician," he remembers. "It was about listening and learning. It was about playing a song, then passing the guitar to the person beside you, and hearing them play a song, too. There was no ego involved." North Country doubles down on that communal spirit, bringing a host of world-class musicians to share the table with Burns' powerful songwriting.

У 2007 році Олег Гайдукевич призначений на посаду начальника  і став наймолодшим начальником районного відділу міліції за всю історію міського управління внутрішніх справ. Через два роки він очолив РУВС найбільшого району столиці — , де керував штатом з 800 співробітників. Дослужившись до звання підполковника, звільнився з міліції, щоб зайнятися політичною і громадською діяльністю.

Політична діяльність

З 2012 року по 2014 рік обіймав посаду заступника голови Ліберально-демократичної партії Білорусі. У квітні 2013 року був обраний XIV з'їздом партії членом Вищої Ради Ліберально-демократичної партії Білорусі. З 2014 по 2019 роки працював першим заступником голови Ліберально-демократичної партії Білорусі, яку очолював його батько Сергій Гайдукевич.

У 2016 році балотувався в депутати Палати представників Національного зборів по Свислоцькому виборчому округу № 94 міста Мінська. За результатами виборів отримав 7597 голосів виборців (19,0 %) і зайняв друге місце, поступившись дипломату Валерію Воронецькому.

21 вересня 2019 року на XX з'їзді Ліберально-демократичної партії Олег Гайдукевич був обраний головою Ліберально-демократичної партії, замінивши на цій посаді свого батька — Сергія Гайдукевича.

17 листопада 2019 року знову балотувався в депутати Палати представників вже по Калиновському округу Мінська № 108. За остаточними результатами виборів Олег Гайдукевич набрав 19 539 голосів (48,16 %) виборців округу, тим самим був обраний депутатом 7-го скликання Палати представників. З 98 кандидатів, висунутих Ліберально-демократичною партією став єдиним кандидатом, який був обраний.

У вересні 2018 року заявив про плани стати кандидатом на президентських виборах в Білорусі 2020 року.

Під час подій 2020–2021 рр.
9 лютого 2020 року на засідання комітету Ліберально-демократичної партії був офіційно оголошений про участь у реєстрації кандидатом у Президенти Білорусі. 20 травня 2020 року ЦВК Білорусі зареєструвала серед 15 ініціативних груп претендентів в кандидати на пост президента і групу Олега Гайдукевича. На думку експертів, ймовірно вважався найсерйознішими реальним суперником Олександру Лукашенку на президентських виборах в Білорусі 2020 року разом з банкіром Віктором Бабариком та очільником «Парку високих технологій» Валерієм Цепкалом.

26 травня 2020 року лідер ЛДП знявся з виборів президента і закликав своїх прихильників голосувати за Олександра Лукашенка, оскільки «не можна допустити розпаду країни». Він додав, що не може «бути повією», але «захищатиме свої переконання». Лідер ЛДП повідомив, що передасть в передвиборний штаб Лукашенка 30 тисяч зібраних підписів. 14 липня він став довіреною особою кандидата Лукашенко.

На початку вересня 2020 року виборці Калинівського виборчого округу № 108 зібрали 700 підписів під листом про те, що вони «втратили довіру до депутата Гайдукевича». Люди порахували, що «депутат бездіє і не захищає інтереси виборців». Але це не допомогло його зняти.

Неодноразово виступав в ЗМІ на захист режиму Лукашенка і з ганьбою демократичної опозиції. Називав «спробою державного перевороту» масові протести проти фальсифікації президентських виборів 2020 року і насильства правоохоронних органів режиму Лукашенка проти інакомислячих.

4 травня 2021 року по телебаченню він погрожував заарештувати лідерів опозиції в еміграції.

For all practical purposes, wine is rarely associated with barbeque. That's sad. Beer and fancy umbrella-style cocktails seem to be the norm, yet many wines would compliment a barbeque quite well. Is it the robust and spicy flavors that makes wine selection for a barbeque difficult? Maybe.
The various flavors of barbecue offer up a wide spectrum of choices. Spicy sauces, grilled meats, hamburgers or seafood could all be complimented by wine. It's a well known fact that White Zinfandel goes well with hot dogs.
Grilled meats such as steak, pork chops, chicken and even hamburgers go well with just about all red wine. A choice cut of beef goes well with a Merlot or Syrah, while a slightly chilled Cabernet works wonders with chops or burgers. A good choice for white wine would be a Riesling or Sauvignon Blanc. Try a White Zinfandel with your next hamburger.
Smoke flavored meats that are lathered with sweet and spicy sauces are another thing. A smoked slab of baby back ribs or pulled pork sandwiches complicate wine selection, yet pair well with some reds as well as some whites. A choice red that holds up well with the vibrant flavors of barbecue is Chianti. A Zinfandel or Syrah are also good choices. White wines that compliment spicy barbecue are the Gewurztraminers and Rieslings. A chilled Prosecco really mixes things up, in a good way. Remember, as the barbecue flavors play heyday with your taste buds, so should your wine.
Grilled fish, vegetables or seafood take on a grilled flavor, yet not in an overpowering way. Normal wine selection criteria is a good bet. Although lacking the intense flavors of most barbecue, it still has a grilled, smoke flavor. When choosing wine for these foods, look for a wine that is a bit fruitier and less dry than you may otherwise choose. The increased vibrancy will compensate for the smokey flavor.
There's really only one major rule you should follow when selecting a wine for your next barbeque. In the spirit of a good barbeque, let your hair down and relax. It is one of the few times in life where it is socially acceptable to have barbeque sauce on your face or a dribble of mustard on your shirt. Wine selection for a barbeque should be done with the same attitude in mind.
I'm a wine expert by no means. Do you have any wine selection ideas that complement the grill?
I love reading these artilecs because they're short but informative.

Il Club Internacional de Fútbol Miami, meglio conosciuto come Inter Miami, è una società calcistica statunitense con sede nella città di Miami (Florida), militante nella Major League Soccer dal 2020; disputa le proprie partite casalinghe al DVR PNK Stadium di Fort Lauderdale (Florida).

Storia
La città di Miami aveva già avuto una franchigia in MLS, ma l'esperienza dei Miami Fusion era durata solo quattro stagioni, dal 1998 al 2001. Nel novembre 2012 il commissioner della MLS Don Garber ha confermato la volontà di ampliare il numero delle partecipanti con una nuova franchigia di base a Miami.

Dopo alcune manifestazioni di interesse da parte di soggetti diversi e trattative con potenziali investitori, nel febbraio 2014 la lega ha annunciato che David Beckham aveva esercitato l'opzione per l'acquisto di un club di MLS e che la cordata di investitori capeggiata dall'ex calciatore inglese avrebbe fondato una franchigia a Miami, investendo anche nella costruzione di un nuovo impianto (ritenuto imprescindibile dalla lega). I soci di Beckham sono i fratelli Mas (immobiliaristi urbani), il giapponese Masayoshi Son (magnate del web) e il boliviano Marcelo Claure (magnate delle telecomunicazioni e proprietario del Club Bolívar).

Il 29 gennaio 2018 Miami è stata annunciata come la venticinquesima squadra partecipante alla MLS a partire dalla stagione 2020. Il 5 settembre dello stesso anno è stato ufficializzato che il nome della franchigia sarebbe stato Club Internacional de Fútbol Miami, comunemente abbreviato in Inter Miami CF.

Il 30 dicembre 2019 l'uruguaiano Diego Alonso è stato assunto come nuovo allenatore del club.
Il 1º marzo 2020 la squadra esordisce in MLS perdendo contro il Los Angeles Football Club per 1-0; giocherà in casa a Fort Lauderdale in attesa del completamento dello stadio previsto per il 2022. Il 7 gennaio 2021 Diego Alonso viene esonerato dopo una sola stagione.

Cronistoria

Colori
I colori sociali dell'Inter Miami sono il rosa, il nero e il bianco. La prima maglia è bianca con dettagli rosa mentre la seconda è nera con dettagli rosa.

Prima divisa

Seconda divisa

Simboli
Il logo, realizzato con lo stile e i colori che richiamano la tradizione Art déco della città, è un cerchio con due aironi bianchi maggiori che incrociano le loro zampe a formare la M di Miami. Tra i due aironi c'è un sole parzialmente eclissato con sette raggi, in omaggio al numero che vestiva David Beckham da calciatore. Il cerchio presenta anche il nome per esteso del club in lingua spagnola e il numero romano MMXX, ad indicare la stagione inaugurale del club (il club ha utilizzato lo spagnolo per il semplice motivo che 80% degli abitanti lo utilizza come prima lingua e la MLS è in crescita soprattutto dagli ispanici).

Stadio

Nel luglio 2018 i proprietari dell'Inter Miami hanno annunciato la costruzione di uno stadio di proprietà da  posti, il Miami Freedom Park, che sorgerà in un sito vicino all'Aeroporto Internazionale di Miami. L'inaugurazione dell'impianto è prevista per il 2022.

In attesa del completamento dei lavori di costruzione del Miami Freedom Park, l'Inter Miami giocherà nell'Inter Miami CF Stadium, uno stadio da  posti in costruzione a Fort Lauderdale, nell'area del vecchio Lockhart Stadium.

Football Australia unveils ambitious FIFA Women's World Cup 2023™ Legacy plan to Government
Football Australia's plan to deliver immediate and long-term community benefits and economic impact from Australia's co-hosting of the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023™ took a significant step on Tuesday, with the game's Legacy '23 plan presented to Ministers, Senators, and Officials of the Federal Government at Australian Parliament House in Canberra.
Legacy '23 is an ambitious plan for Australia to realise enduring and exciting benefits as a result of hosting the biggest sporting event on Australian soil since the Sydney 2000 Olympics.
The Legacy '23 plan – which is inextricably linked to Football Australia's bold 15-year vision for the sport embodied within the XI Principles – for the future of Australian football (XI Principles) released last year – covers five (5) key pillars and provides the blueprint for the domestic and international football community, Governments at all levels, and corporate Australia, to ensure the full range of opportunities presented by the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023™ are maximised.
"In June last year, the nation united as one when Australia was announced as a co-host of the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023™," Football Australia Chair, Chris Nikou, said. "But that was just the beginning. Now football, together with all levels of Government, is aiming to work hand-in-hand to truly realise the benefits of hosting the global event, which in 2019 secured over 1.2 billion television viewers."
Football Australia Chief Executive Officer, James Johnson, presented the plan to Ministers, Senators, and Officials at Parliament House.
"The five (5) key pillars are focused on increasing football participation, building and upgrading community facilities, enhancing tourism and international engagement, developing more female leaders, and ensuring that Australia's senior women's national team, the Westfield Matildas, enter the tournament as prepared as possible to compete deep in the competition," Johnson explained.
"We view Legacy '23 as a long-term project extending far beyond the tournament's final whistle. We are determined to elevate the women's game to even greater heights, and ultimately for Australia to become the centre of women's football in the Asia-Pacific region. To do this we have identified several time critical initiatives to kick-start Legacy '23 which are aligned to our XI Principles and focus on high performance, participation, and international engagement."
"These projects include unlocking support for Tony Gustavsson's Westfield Matildas through the funding of increased matches for the team in the lead up to the tournament, supporting the pipeline of talent and competitive depth for the Westfield Matildas via a world class program for the Young and Junior Matildas, expanding Football Australia's Club Development Officer Program to retain and encourage more women and girls to play football and engage in sport, and assisting Government with its Sport Diplomacy 2030 strategy through our international football activity.
"Over 40 years ago our Australia's senior women's national team played their first 'A' international at Seymour Shaw Park. They were part of a movement for women's football in Australia, and we now stand here only a few years away from hosting the biggest tournament in women's sport. Legacy '23 is our opportunity to shape new dreams, inspire Australians and together write a new chapter in Australian history," he concluded.
Former Westfield Matildas striker and Football Australia's Head of Women's Football, Women's World Cup Legacy & Inclusion, Sarah Walsh, believes Legacy '23 can serve as a catalyst to accelerate gender balance and broader inclusion across the game.
"By working with Government to expand the reach and impact of football, which is Australia's most diverse and largest club participation sport, we can create more economic, health and social benefits for Australians and unlock potential by authentically engaging women and girls, First Nations peoples, culturally and linguistically diverse communities, and people of all abilities and age," Walsh said.
"It is startling that only one in five football facilities in Australia have female change rooms, and 46 per cent of grounds do not have adequate lighting. Together we can help remove the barriers to female participation and accelerate growth at all levels of our game to create positive, thriving communities across Australia.
"Support for our projects will help Football Australia reach its target of 50:50 gender balance in participation by 2027, and to do that we need to create over 400,000 more opportunities for female participants," she said.
Football Australia's Legacy '23 plan includes major infrastructure projects including the development of a National Home of Football, as well as the Football Victoria State Football Centre/Home of the Matildas project in Melbourne. Further projects around the country would be planned and delivered through the creation of a Female Football Community Facility Legacy Fund.

Singapore passports to sport new design and security features
They will be tougher to forge or tamper with; documents with new design for applications from Oct 21
Enhanced features that provide additional security include the multiple laser image in the shape of the Singapore map and an embossed tactile design. PHOTO: LIANHE ZAOBAO

http://str.sg/4FGG
The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) is introducing a new design for the Singapore biometric passport, which comes with additional security features.
This will make the Singapore passport harder to forge or tamper with, ICA said yesterday.
There are two new security features - the image of the passport holder inside a window which can be viewed as a positive or negative portrait when tilted and viewed in transmitted light; and a surface transformation design in the shape of the national flower, which displays reflective and animation effects at different angles.
Enhanced features that provide additional security include the multiple laser image in the shape of the Singapore map and an embossed tactile design.
The passport's visa pages will also sport new designs featuring six iconic landmarks - the Singapore Botanic Gardens, Esplanade, Marina Barrage, Gardens by the Bay, Singapore Sports Hub and Punggol New Town. These will replace the existing image of the Central Business District skyline and Esplanade.
ICA said those whose passport applications were received from Oct 21 will be issued with the new passports, which will be available for collection from Monday.
Those collecting their passports between Monday and Nov 15 will need to go to the ICA Building in Kallang. After that, passports can also be collected at selected post offices.
Singaporeans with existing valid passports do not need to replace their current ones.
More details on the new design can be found on the ICA website.
ICA also said there is no change to the passport application fee, which remains at $80. Applicants who apply for the passport online, by post or through a deposit box will enjoy a rebate of $10, and pay $70 instead.
This week, a passport index ranked the Singapore passport as the "most powerful" in the world, ahead of countries such as Germany, Sweden and South Korea.

I have checked the data which is coming properly but still getting hell lot of errors. Please help!!
Data output in console is

A: Try specifying the data type when creating a new chart. Otherwise, the compiler will assume that data is of type number
export interface MyData
{
    Product: string;
    Color: string;
    Value: number;
}

//.....

var pieChart = d3.pie<MyData>().sort(null)...

A: When you trying to loop through data array, d3 pass each entry from array as "d"(you can name it whatever) to function, so you can directly read properties.
instead of reading d.data.Value you should read as d.Value, similarly change remaining properties also.

Fears for the highest road toll in decade
RACQ has pleaded with motorists to slow down and drive safely ahead of Christmas as the road toll continued to soar, with the State at risk of recording the highest number of fatalities in 10 years.
The Courier Mail reported deaths in the south eastern police region alone had increased by 140 percent and by 40 percent in the central region, compared to last year.
Club spokesperson Clare Hunter said 256 lives had already been lost on Queensland roads this year, compared to 209 at the same time last year.
"The majority of crashes are due to human error and therefore avoidable. That means these tragedies could have been prevented if motorist behaviour had been different," Ms Hunter said.
"Crashes destroy the lives of so many people, not just those who are in the vehicles at the time. Whether they result in a serious injury or tragedy - friends, family, emergency services and the wider community feel the devastating impacts each and every time.
"We're pleading with everyone hitting the road this holiday period to think about their actions and take road safety seriously.
"Don't become frustrated and make bad choices, pack your patience and do the simple things right like focusing on the road, sticking to the speed limit, wearing seatbelts and not driving drunk, tired or distracted.
"We want everyone to make it home to celebrate Christmas with their family."

Samsung could launch a Galaxy Note 3 with flexible screen
Samsung continues to innovate in the field of smartphones. Most recently, it was expected that it could launch a Galaxy Note 3 with an LCD screen. This is especially for emerging markets (CF: An entry-level version of the Galaxy Note 3 could be unveiled as early as November). The launch will take place in the month of November.
Today, it seems that the firm is working on a new version of Note 3. According to the Korean site Chosun, Samsung will soon market a limited Galaxy Note 3 with a flexible screen. It may even be that this limited version is launched before the LCD versions. Because it is a "Limited Edition", the device will be sold to consumers who decide first.
Currently, LG and Samsung are competing to become the first manufacturer to release a smartphone with a flexible display. Given the 3, it was expected that LG announced the release of a device with a flexible screen. But in the end, it was not the case. However, competition between the two companies continues.
The announcement of the Galaxy Note 3 with a flexible screen coincides with rumors that Samsung would decline the Galaxy Note 3 in three versions, and a model with a flexible screen would be available in November. Samsung also asked individuals to submit ideas for these flexible displays. Just hope the first device with flexible screen does not come with annoying bugs.
Thus, we can have an AMOLED screen, an LCD and a flexible OLED display for Samsung Galaxy Note 3. For now, only the rating 3 with a AMOLED screen is confirmed. Waiting to see if the rumors are confirmed regarding a Galaxy Note 3 equipped with an LCD screen and a flexible screen.
The South Korean firm had put in front of the stage a prototype with a flexible display. However, several problems were found mainly at the OEM. Indeed, these prototypes met the sake of mass production to the extent that these displays must be both flexible and very thin heat resistant.
Yesterday, rumors spoke of a variant of the Galaxy Note 3 with this type of screen. In any case, we can say that the curved screens are the next evolution of smartphones screens. Flexible displays that can be folded and then take over. It may well be that the SM-W2014 is the next Samsung model to be equipped with a curved screen.

Bell corruption trial: Opening statements to begin Thursday
Opening statements are scheduled to get underway Thursday in the trial for six former Bell City Council members accused of looting the city's treasury by drawing hefty salaries for their part-time work.
A jury of eight women and four men were selected Wednesday in the trial for Luis Artiga, Victor Bello, George Cole, Oscar Hernandez, Teresa Jacobo and George Mirabal will open Thursday morning. All six face potential prison terms if convicted.
Prosecutors from the district attorney's office as well as defense attorneys will make opening statements. Bell City Clerk Rebecca Valdez is expected to be the first witness.
FULL COVERAGE: Crisis in Bell
The trial is expected to bring new attention to a scandal that former Dist. Atty. Steve Cooley famously described as "corruption on steroids."
Bell, just 2½ square miles in southeast Los Angeles County, became the butt of jokes and a rallying cry for reformers.
But there has been significantly less focus on the small city's slow recovery from the scandal.
"Everybody suspected that the city of Bell would go under immediately, but we haven't two years later," said Ana Maria Quintana, a councilwoman who won office in the wake of the revelations.
The city's general fund has been slashed to $12 million from $16 million, largely because a handful of highly paid employees are now gone, and the budget is balanced. Council meetings are streamed online in a city where the workings of government were once opaque. The city has cut fees for trash pickup, building permits and business licenses -- fees that had ballooned under Rizzo.
But it is too soon to tell how well the city will ultimately emerge from the scandal. It faces a tangle of scandal-related lawsuits, with $1.5 million in legal fees a year, and the possibility of fiscal calamity, said City Manager Doug Willmore.
"If all the litigation stuff were solved today, I'd tell you Bell has a bright future, and we can pay our bills," said Willmore, who estimates he spends a third of his time on lawsuits. "There are all these things that could happen that could bankrupt the city."

After Daniel Mancinelli was quickest in the morning, TR3 Racing's Niccolò Schiro usurped him by turning in the fastest lap of the day in the afternoon. Schirò's lap of 108.696 seconds (100.946 mph) was eight-hundredths of a second faster than what Mancinelli could do.
Afterwards, Schirò talked about how much he likes Utah Motorsport Campus.
Schirò's lap in the session was two-tenths of a second faster than Cadillac Racing's Ricky Taylor. Absolute Racing's Vincent Abril was third quickest, followed by the No. 93 RealTime Racing Acura of Peter Kox. The CRP Racing Mercedes for Ryan Dalziel and Daniel Morad was fifth.

Tágide and Tágide Wine & Tapas Bar: an exceptional view of Lisbon.
In the heart of Chiado, a more casual alternative to the gourmet restaurant of the same name.
For more than 30 years, Tágide has served excellent Portuguese cuisine in a cosy atmosphere enhanced by large, blue-carpeted rooms, soft lighting, and small balconies opening onto the banks of the Tagus.
In 2012, the Tágide Wine & Tapas Bar opened on the ground floor. Highlighted by a particularly successful 1950s Deco theme, the bar has spectacular views over the rooftops of the capital. The best options are the Portuguese tapas (petiscos) with scrambled eggs à la farinheira (sausage), Bulhão Pato clams, or stuffed and breaded sardines, all accompanied by a masterful selection of Portuguese wines. A jazz band plays Friday nights.

Thousands of corner shops could stop accepting credit and debit cards following the EU ban on fees
New EU law has banned firms charging up to three per cent for card transactions
Small shops could stop accepting cards because they can't afford the fees
Around 6,000 small firms across the UK charged for card payments before ban
By Ruth Lythe Money Mail Chief Reporter

Thousands of corner shops and smaller retailers could stop accepting credit and debit cards following a ban on fees, experts warn.
New laws from the EU last week barred firms from charging as much as three per cent extra when customers pay by credit card.
The move was welcomed by consumer campaigners, but shopkeepers claim they face hundreds of pounds of extra costs to cover the fees they are still facing from card providers.
Some corner shops and small businesses said they had already started to reject plastic, with many putting up 'cash-only' signs.
New laws from the EU last week barred UK firms from charging as much as three per cent extra when customers pay by credit card
Other firms are bringing in their own fee, which would avoid the EU ban by applying it to cash transactions as well as debit and credit payments.
Another move by shopkeepers requires a minimum spend of £5 or more if customers want to pay by card.
About 6,000 small firms charged for credit card use before the ban, and experts fear a significant proportion could take similar action to combat rising costs.
If restrictions on card use become commonplace at convenience stores it will force customers to go to a cash machine before they can buy groceries, while shoppers may find they are no longer able to spread out the cost of big-ticket items.
Jeffrey Sandat, who owns Essex-based car dealership the Chelmsford Car Company, has stopped accepting cards.
He said customers used to take advantage of the zero per cent interest rate period offered on their cards, rather than taking on costlier car financing deals.

Mr Sandat said: 'Every time someone bought a car with a credit card we would be hit with a £250 fee.
'That was all right when we could get the money back by passing the cost on, but now we can't.
'If someone is ready to pay a fee then why shouldn't they use their cards?
'Now some people will end up taking car finance deals if they can't use a credit card, which are more expensive.'
Wendy Scott, who runs wedding venue Crabbs Barn in Essex with her husband Geoff, 70, has also stopped accepting credit card payments.
Mrs Scott, 66, fears some couples may struggle to pay for their weddings now they cannot use plastic, but says her business cannot afford costs of about £220 a time.
The move was welcomed by consumer campaigners, but shopkeepers claim they face hundreds of pounds of extra costs to cover the fees they are still facing from card providers
She added: 'I could push up prices for everyone but that doesn't seem fair for those who are not paying by card.
'Businesses are being portrayed as being greedy but in fact the impact of this policy on small businesses has not been properly thought through.'
Labour MP John Mann, who sits on the Treasury select committee, called on the Government to rethink the rules, which originated from an EU directive.
'These rules are going to cause some small businesses serious problems,' he said. 'It's a typical EU response to a problem – getting it the wrong way round.'
A Treasury spokesman said last night: 'Whether retailers choose to accept a type of payment, raise their minimum payment, or change their pricing is a commercial decision for them.'

When I was a little girl, my family would occasionally take me out to dinner at this local spaghetti restaurant. The food was your standard Ragu-type fare — in other words, nothing remotely "Italian." But they did have the best Italian Creme Sodas that I looked forward to ordering every time we dined there. There was something about the combination of the sparkling water combined with that sweet cherry syrup, the smooth cream and the tower of whipped cream that had Lil Hayley hook, line & sinker. It was probably because it was sweet, a drink topped with whipped cream, and tasted like I was drinking something glittery and sparkly — as a kid, you want to imagine everything you consume is magical. And with the carbonation, it felt like I was having some mystical fairy drink.
But unlike Lil Hayley, Big Hayley doesn't have the same metabolism, so drinking typical Italian Creme Sodas on the regular isn't necessarily diet-friendly *cries.* But thankfully, I figured out an ingenious way to make my own homemade and lightened-up Italian Creme Sodas at home using new Canada Dry Sparkling Seltzer Water.
Canada Dry's new Sparkling Seltzer Water has zero calories, zero sodium and zero caffeine. The Lemon Lime and Triple Berry waters are unsweetened and flavored naturally, and they taste awesome. They're such a refreshing, bubbly beverage that is so much more nutritious than your standard carbonated soda. It's water… only better.
Ready to drink like a sparkly fairy princess?!
Refreshing, nearly fat-free and super low-cal, these Sparkling Italian Creme Sodas will add some delicious sparkle to your life!
Distribute 5 ice cubes among two mason jars or cups. Pour 8 ounces of Canada Dry Sparkling Seltzer Water into each glass. Top each glass with THREE (3) Tablespoons of flavored syrup or juice and ONE (1) Tablespoon of fat-free half & half. Do not stir the mixture!
Top each glass with a heavy helping of fat-free whipped cream and garnish with a cherry, chopped berries or lemon/lime wedges. Serve immediately!
These Sparkling Italian Creme Sodas could not be simpler to make! They're light, super refreshing on a hot day, and such a great pick-me-up treat for kids and adults alike! The Sparkling Seltzer Water tastes phenomenal and those fruity flavors definitely shine in these drinks. They aren't cloyingly sweet; just the right amount hits you with a nice, fruity punch and lots of sparkle. These will surely become a new family favorite!!
How have I not had an Italian Creme Soda?!? I feel like I have missed out! They look so freaking good!
oooooh I need to make some of these for Michael!!!
Get this… I've never had an Italian soda. I believe that needs to change. These look amaze balls!
It's been so long since I've had an Italian soda! These look great!
