RocksDB can be built as a single self contained cross-platform JAR. The cross-platform jar can be usd on any 64-bit OSX system, 32-bit Linux system, or 64-bit Linux system.

Building a cross-platform JAR requires:

 * [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/)
 * [Virtualbox](https://www.virtualbox.org/)
 * A Mac OSX machine that can compile RocksDB.
 * Java 7 set as JAVA_HOME.

Once you have these items, run this make command from RocksDB's root source directory:

    make jclean clean rocksdbjavastaticrelease

This command will build RocksDB natively on OSX, and will then spin up two Vagrant Virtualbox Ubuntu images to build RocksDB for both 32-bit and 64-bit Linux.

You can find all native binaries and JARs in the java directory upon completion:

    librocksdbjni-linux32.so
    librocksdbjni-linux64.so
    librocksdbjni-osx.jnilib
    rocksdbjni-3.5.0-javadoc.jar
    rocksdbjni-3.5.0-linux32.jar
    rocksdbjni-3.5.0-linux64.jar
    rocksdbjni-3.5.0-osx.jar
    rocksdbjni-3.5.0-sources.jar
    rocksdbjni-3.5.0.jar

## Maven publication

Set ~/.m2/settings.xml to contain:

    <settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
      <servers>
        <server>
          <id>sonatype-nexus-staging</id>
          <username>your-sonatype-jira-username</username>
          <password>your-sonatype-jira-password</password>
        </server>
      </servers>
    </settings>

Then update rocksjni.pom's version tag to reflect the release version.

From RocksDB's root directory, first build the Java static JARs:

    make jclean clean rocksdbjavastaticpublish

This command will [stage the JAR artifacts on the Sonatype staging repository](http://central.sonatype.org/pages/manual-staging-bundle-creation-and-deployment.html). To release the staged artifacts.

1. Go to [https://oss.sonatype.org/#stagingRepositories](https://oss.sonatype.org/#stagingRepositories) and search for "rocksdb" in the upper right hand search box.
2. Select the rocksdb staging repository, and inspect its contents.
3. If all is well, follow [these steps](https://oss.sonatype.org/#stagingRepositories) to close the repository and release it.

After the release has occurred, the artifacts will be synced to Maven central within 24-48 hours.

France vs Italy in Libya
UN efforts to reach a political deal in Libya are under strain amid entwined international economic and socio-political interests
Kamel Abdallah , Thursday 24 May 2018
File Photo: Libya (Photo: Reuters)
On 4 May, London hosted a meeting of senior diplomats to discuss the chances of a political settlement in Libya and the prospects of success of the working plan for Libya that UN Envoy Ghassan Salame unveiled to a group of world leaders in New York on the sidelines of the inaugural ceremonies of the UN General Assembly in September last year.
According to Libyan sources, the participants in the London meeting agreed to work towards holding just legislative elections before the end of the year, in order to create a climate more conducive to ratifying the new constitution and ending the interim phases.
The Libyan sources added that, while the French agreed to the substance of the London talks, they continued to work behind the scenes to promote an alternative plan of their own.
The French initiative calls for both parliamentary and presidential elections, held outside a constitutional framework, before the end of the year.
France has invited Libyan Army Commander Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, speaker of the House of Representatives Aguila Saleh, first Deputy Speaker of the Supreme Council of State Naji Mukhtar and Chairman of the Presidency Council Fayez Al-Sarraj to a meeting in Paris in the hope of persuading them to issue a joint declaration in favour of the initiative, which would be very risky undertaking given the complexities of the situation in Libya.
The Libyan sources noted that other Western powers, especially the US, the UK and Italy, greeted the French initiative with reservations.
These powers are wary of accelerating elections before reaching settlement to the Libyan crisis for fear causing a setback to UN-sponsored mediating efforts.
The French initiative, which Paris hopes to formalise when the four Libyan officials meet in Paris 29 May, calls for internationally supervised parliamentary and presidential elections before the end of the year.
Parties responsible for obstructing the elections could face international sanctions.
The initiative also calls for an additional 60 days for voter registration, relocating the House of Representatives to Benghazi where it would resume its functions in accordance with the Constitutional Declaration as amended on 14 February 2014, the unification of the Central Bank, the dissolution of the interim government based in Beida and commitment to supporting the unity of the Libyan army talks that Cairo has been sponsoring since September 2017.
When back in Benghazi, the House of Representatives would vote to incorporate the Libyan Political Agreement, signed in Skhirat, Morocco, on 17 December 2015, into the Constitutional Declaration.
The new parliament voted into power in the legislative elections will be expected to discuss the constitutional bill and put it to a vote within 90 days.
Following the London meeting, Charge d'Affairs of the US Embassy in Libya Stephanie Williams met, in turn, with Salame, Al-Sarraj and speaker of the High Council of State Khaled Al-Mishri and stressed the need "to hold elections on a sound constitutional foundation before the end of the year in order to end the interim phases and attain political stability".
This has been read as an expression of Washington's preference to see a political solution in Libya before elections. Sources close to Al-Mishri said that Williams told the Libyan officials she met in her residence in Tunisia that the US is still studying the French initiative.
But the French drive to empower the Libyan people through elections held before year's end courts international problems as well as domestic ones. Above all, it may precipitate an open clash between France and Italy, France's chief rival for influence in oil-rich Libya that has been torn by civil war since 2011.
Tensions between Paris and Rome over Libya have mounted in recent weeks, to which testify recent developments in western and southern Libya.
To the west, France was behind the collapse of an agreement that Italy had struck with local militia groups to halt the flow of illegal migrants to Italian shores.
Paris is also behind the dismissal of the senior security adviser to the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL), Paolo Serra, for having offered large sums of money to militia groups in western Libya in order to stem the infiltration of illegal migrants.
These developments have aggravated Italian resentments against France for allegedly refusing to shoulder its share of the burden in the drive to curb illegal migration in accordance with its agreement with European authorities in Brussels.
In southern Libya, France was an instrumental factor in the breakdown of an Italian-brokered agreement between warring tribal groups. Representatives of the Awlad Suleiman and non-Arab Tabou tribes had signed a truce agreement in Rome in May 2017.
The agreement was sponsored by the San Idigo Society, which also sponsored agreements with other tribal parties in Libya.
These agreements are also jeopardised by French activity in the Libyan crisis.
At another level, the French energy giant Total recently purchased the US Marathon company's stake in Libya's Waha concessions, a joint project between the National Petroleum Authority in Tripoli and US energy firms.
The purchase elicited negative responses in Libya. The petroleum authority claimed that the French company had not obtained the authority's approval before concluding the deal.
Total CEO Patrick Pouyanne denied this in a press conference 26 April, reported in Reuters. "We informed Libyan authorities far in advance that the deal had been settled between Total and Marathon and we were intending to close it by the end of March," Pouyanne said, noting that the Libyan authorities had voiced no objections before his firm signed the deal 31 March to purchase US Marathon's 16.3 per cent share in the Waha company, Reuters reported him as saying.
In response to the petroleum authority's objection that Total had not obtained its prior approval and that "any attempt to conclude the sale prior to this approval would be in breach of the concession contractual agreement," Pouyanne said that Total was able to move forward and conclude the deal quickly because it was prepared to accept the political risks of the situation in Libya.
"Total can take these kinds of Libyan risk in our portfolio more than Marathon was willing to keep them, which is why we did the deal," he said, according to Reuters.
He added: "The cost of access to these barrels was quite attractive due to the political situation. Maybe it created some moves in Libya after they discovered the value of the deal, but the terms of the concession did not change."
Still, Pouyanne attempted to soothe Libyan concerns, saying that his company was "in permanent dialogue with Libyan authorities," adding "we will give them all the comfort they are legitimately requiring, to reassure them of our willingness to develop the Waha field in the national interest of Libya."
Pouyanne's remarks indicate that the French energy giant is keen to expand its activities in Libya, rocked by political upheaval for seven years and gripped by severe economic straits and social difficulties.
The French Total company appears indifferent to these problems, which jeopardise the interests of other major firms operating in the Libyan petroleum industry.
The company's ambitions compound challenges to France's expansionist policy in Libya, a policy that requires a clear stance from the US before it riles France's traditional competitors in Libya, Italy and the UK. France, for its part, appears to be accelerating its plans in Libya, taking advantage of the Italians' preoccupation with still ongoing deliberations over forming a new coalition government.

The course serves both as an introduction and a review for engineers and scientists of the principles of optical interference filter design while considering, in addition, recent advances in the current technology. Five sessions cover basic design techniques, coating types and their characteristics. The other five sessions include coating fabrication, substrate preparation, characterization, and digital design techniques. A tour of the University coating facilities stresses deposition and characterization methods and includes a tour of the OMEGA laser. Classes will start at 8:30 a.m. and end at 5 p.m.
Index of refraction, absorption, dispersion, coating and substrate materials. Reflectance and transmittance of substrates and single-layer films, optical thickness, and interference. Coherent versus incoherent illumination.
Review of various methods for producing optical films, thin film structure, optical and physical thickness monitoring techniques, uniformity, and process control.
AR Coatings: Single layer, two layer, multilayer, and gradient index. Graphical design techniques; computer optimization techniques.
The students will see three areas: coating, cleaning, and characterization (surface metrology, damage conditioning, and photometry).
Dielectric reflectors: quarterwave stack, modified quarterwave stack, broad band reflectors. Order suppression, electric field profiles, rugate designs. Metal films, enhanced metal reflectors.
Design-Band Pass Filters, Dr. James B. Oliver: Short and long wavelength and narrow band pass filters. Band pass filter design techniques: Herpin equivalent index, blocking methods. Metal-dielectric filters and graphical design techniques.
Polarization of light. Incidence angle effects on refractive index and filter design. Polarizing beam splitter and phase control coatings.
Modeling of thin-film uniformity, stresses in thin films, and process control for precision optical coatings.

Q: How do I return a list of entity's instance with either jpql or jpa I have a Subject class which references Category class. The Subject class has this simplified signature:
@Entity
@Table(name="Subject")
public class Subject{

//Omitted codes
@Column(name = "date")
public Date date;

@ManyToOne
@JoinColumn(name="course_category", nullable=false)
private Category category;
//Omitted codes

}

The Category is like this:
@Entity
@Table(name="Category")
public class Category {
@Id
@Column(name="id")
@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private int id;
//omitted codes

@OneToMany(cascade=CascadeType.ALL, mappedBy="category")
private Set<Subject> subject=new HashSet<>();

//Omitted codes
}

Now I want to return a list of date from my SubjectDao whenever I pass id that matches a particular Category id, but my method doesn't work.
This is SubjectDao
public interface SubjectDao extends JpaRepository<Subject, Integer>{

@Query("Select s.date from Subject s Where s.category.id=:id")
Page<Date> findDates(@RequestParam("id") int id, Pageable pegeable);
}

This is the error I keep getting
Couldn't find persistentEntity for type class java.sql.Timestamp...

Please how should I write the jpa query?
I've tried to adopt jpa projection  technique so I added the following interface
public interface DatesOnly{
public Date getDate();
}

Then reimplemented my SubjectDaolike this
public interface SubjectDao extends JpaRepository<Subject, Integer>{

@Query("Select s.date from Subject s where s.category.id =:id")
List<DatesOnly>findDates(@RequestParam("id")int id);

}

But when I run the code I get another confusing error like

A: I was able to use your models almost without modification, I converted your primitives to wrapped versions.  I'm not sure which Date you're using, but this should work with either java.util.Date or java.sql.Date.  I used java.util.Date for this example.
On your DAO, I used the declarative property-driven approach as opposed to writing JPQL.  I only use JPQL if the queries are complex.
public interface SubjectRepository extends JpaRepository<Subject, Integer> {
    List<DatesOnly> findAllByCategoryId(Integer categoryId);
}

I threw together a simple controller just to set up some test data.
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/subject")
public class SubjectController {
    private final SubjectRepository subjectRepository;

    public SubjectController(SubjectRepository subjectRepository) {
        this.subjectRepository = subjectRepository;
    }

    @PostMapping
    public Subject createSubject(@RequestBody Subject subject) {
        return subjectRepository.save(subject);
    }

    @GetMapping("/{id}")
    public List<DatesOnly> getDates(@PathVariable Integer id) {
        return subjectRepository.findAllByCategoryId(id);
    }
}

I initialized the database Category table with a single record (I added the name field just to have some data in the table).
insert into category(name) values ('test')

I posted the following to /subject (see controller).  I posted this five times to have some sample data.
{
    "category": {
        "id": 1
    },
    "date": "2022-11-24T19:07:19.097303"
}

Next I hit the GET endpoint (localhost:8080/subject/1) with the id of the Category to get back the List<DatesOnly>.  You can see the projection works just as we'd expect.
[
  {
    "date": "2022-11-24T19:07:19.097+00:00"
  },
  {
    "date": "2022-11-24T19:07:19.097+00:00"
  },
  {
    "date": "2022-11-24T19:07:19.097+00:00"
  },
  {
    "date": "2022-11-24T19:07:19.097+00:00"
  },
  {
    "date": "2022-11-24T19:07:19.097+00:00"
  }
]

If you're absolutely deadset on using JPQL, you can, here is a very slight modification to your query to make this work.  You'll find that I dropped the s.date because that query just returns a collection of Dates, but your projection calls for the response to have a getDate() method, which is lacking when you just return a collection of Dates.  So, return from the query a collection of Subject, this will have the getDate() method the projection requires.
@Query("Select s from Subject s Where s.category.id=:id")
List<DatesOnly> findDatesProjectedBySomeId(Integer id);

Here are a few things you should consider:

*

*You have @RequestParam added to your repository method; drop this as it does nothing.

*Don't mix primitives and wrapped types.  It will work, but it causes unnecessary boxing and unboxing.  If you're working with JPA entities, I prefer always to use the wrapped type because they are nullable, whereas the primitives are not.

*In Subject, consider not naming your field date; this is a reserved word in almost every DBMS and I'm pretty shocked that I was even allowed to create a table with this as the name of a column.

*On your OneToMany/ManyToOne, you should annotate them with JsonManagedReference and JsonBackReference or you're going to probably end up with a StackOverflow when these data are serialized.

MMB Draft Coverage
2020 NBA Draft Coverage
2020 NBA Draft profiles: Kira Lewis
Adding the high-octane guard could pay dividends in the medium term.

When it comes to guards in the 2020 draft, it's a bit of a crap shoot. Outside of a handful of surefire top picks like LaMelo Ball and Anthony Edwards, you get the feeling by reading a glut of various mock drafts that there isn't a great feel for where many of these other guards will end up.
Such is the case for Kira Lewis who has been mocked anywhere from a mid lottery pick to a mid-20s first rounder. If he were available for the Mavericks at 18, they'd be looking at adding a speedy guard to their frontcourt rotation who has shown positive indicators for growth as an NBA player.
Wingspan: 6'5.5"
Standing Reach: 8'3"
A speedy, athletic guard who's able to penetrate the lane.
Graded "Very Good" as a P&R ball handler and transition player.
Graded "Excellent" as a spot up shooter, on catch-and-shoots, as a cutter, and hand off player.
36.6% 3-point shooter and 80.2% free throw shooter are positive indications for his shooting at the next level.
65% of his assists in the half court offense led to a 3.
Can be a streaky shooter.
A sometimes reckless driver who could benefit from slowing down a bit to help improve his vision.
Willing defender who doesn't take plays off on either end.
Quickness allows him to get through screens and stick to his man.
Can sometimes lose his man off ball.
Size and weight make him unlikely to be an option to switch on to bigger players.
Active Player Comparisons
If everything goes wrong: Every other small guard the Mavs have drafted the last decade who we no longer speak about
If everything goes right: Lou Williams
Most Realistic Outcome: Darren Collison with "modern NBA" upside
Stats and Accomplishments
Two-year starter during both years he played at Alabama
Averaged 50/36.6/80.2 shooting and 18.5 points per game in his final season
Best Games Last Season
3 Key Things
Another Guard?
It's certainly debatable as to whether the Mavericks should even bother taking a guard in this draft with players like Tim Hardaway Jr, Delon Wright, Seth Curry, and Jalen Brunson under contract for the 2020-21 season. (Plus Trey Burke making a great case to be brought back after his bubble heroics.)
It's true the team isn't exactly bereft of guard talent, though we will likely be losing J.J. Barea and Courtney Lee from the lineup moving forward. Plus with Hardaway on the final year of his deal, it may be the perfect time to bring in a player with a high offensive upside who could potentially step right into the rotation in his second year.
Playmaker Potential
The great thing about having Luka Doncic on your team is you can ask him to pretty much do everything. The next question, though, is whether it's actually good for your team to have to ask one player to do everything all the time.
As mentioned, Trey Burke's bubble emergence showed how beneficial another playmaker can be to a team — particularly who can lead the second unit offense. Lewis certainly looks to have the potential to be that kind of player, and particularly one that would fit well into the Mavericks' offense with his P&R skills and ability to kick to open 3-point shooters. That he can hold his own defensively is a nice touch as well.
One Speed Player
It's certainly never bad to be a highly athletic player. Lewis' speed and body control have allowed him to create space and find opportunities for teammates. That's not to say he relies solely on his physical abilities - he looks to be a high IQ player, which is something coach Rick Carlisle demands of his ball handlers - but his full-speed attack doesn't always allow the game to slow down around him and he can get into the habit of forcing some passes. It also likely hasn't helped his numbers for shooting off the dribble with runners in the lane and finishing around the rim. Two areas where he's only average compared to his jump shot and catch and shoot numbers.
The Checklist
Role with the Mavericks
As a rookie, You'd hope that Lewis would be able to get time to compete for a spot against players like Brunson and potentially Burke with the intention being that the team is able to find a long-term solution for a second unit lead ball handler amongst them.
With more guard minutes soon to open up down the line for the Mavericks, his offensive upside and passing seem like a natural fit to that role, assuming his development goes as planned.
This would be a pick many fans would surely feel uneasy about given Dallas' history drafting mid-round guards. However, the if the 2020 draft is deep in any one position, it's that combo guard role, so if there's a gem to be found in the mid first round, that's likely where it would be coming from.
Not to mention, if Kira Lewis is even available at 18, the Mavericks' would do well to select him simply on a "best player available" basis, as he seems to be moving up some draft boards as player evaluations begin in earnest.
He may not be the player who could have the biggest impact in year one, but his long term potential makes up for that even as the Mavs are arguably taking their first steps in to "win now" territory coming off of a postseason showing that proved they have the star power needed to compete. Filling out the rest of the team with players like Lewis could coalesce into quite a contender.

Only Half of Canadians Expect to Return to the Office Regularly in 2022: Survey
By Andrew Chen
Andrew Chen
Andrew Chen is an Epoch Times reporter based in Toronto.
Canadians are uncertain about the future of their place of work as they head into 2022, with only half of those currently working from home expecting to return to the office with some regularity, a new Ipsos poll says.
The survey, published on Dec. 26, asked working Canadians about their experiences in 2021 and their expectations for 2022, as evolving public health policies continue to pose uncertainty around work and daily life.
Overall, 64 percent of working Canadians agree—15 percent strongly and 49 percent somewhat—that they achieved a better work-life balance in 2021.
Among them, Quebecers (77 percent) are the largest group that holds this belief, followed by those living in Atlantic Canada (69 percent), Saskatchewan and Manitoba (68 percent), British Columbia and Ontario (60 percent), and Alberta (49 percent).
However, the survey shows that that many are still struggling to achieve this balance, as roughly four in ten (39 percent) of working Canadians agree that they would be fine earning 20 percent less money if they could work 20 percent fewer hours than they do now.
The survey found younger workers to hold this belief, with 49 percent for those aged 18–34, followed by the age group of 35–54 (35 percent) and those aged 55 and older (34 percent).
As the nature of work morphed throughout 2021 in accordance with public health restrictions to address the COVID-19 pandemic, 9 percent of respondents say they have started working remotely or from home, 7 percent have returned to the office, and 15 percent have continued to work from home for an extended period of time, according to the poll.
Among the 11 percent who started a new job, 72 percent agreed it was their choice to do so, while 28 percent disagreed—which suggests that they were laid off, fired, or needed to start a second job to make ends meet, Ipsos said.
However, the survey found that those working from home have "enjoyed the flexibility" and want to continue with this work style on a regular basis, even if they have missed their colleagues.
Among them, 88 percent agree that they have enjoyed working from home more often in 2021, while just 12 percent disagree. And 58 percent agree that they miss working with their colleagues in person, while 42 percent do not.
Darrell Bricker, chief executive officer of public affairs at Ipsos, told Global News that while a consistent number of Canadians have expressed reluctance to return to working at the office, their reasons for wanting to do so have changed with time.
"Part of it seems to be concern about safety, but an increasing part of it—and this is the really interesting finding here—is about a preference," Bricker said.
"It's no longer about 'I'm not going to go back to the office because I don't think it's safe.' It's 'I'm not going to go back to the office because I feel like I actually prefer to work at home.'"
Half (50 percent) of those working from home said they expect to return to the office on a regular basis in 2022, while the other half disagree. Only 44 percent agree that they want to return to the office on a regular basis in 2022, while a majority (56 percent) disagree.
Conducted on behalf of Global News, the Ipsos poll surveyed 1,001 Canadians aged 18 and older between Dec. 10 and 15, 2021. The poll was conducted online, with an accuracy of within ± 4.5 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.


In this video we will look at bringing our forwards into our attack off 9. Looking at specific roles and the attack options these create. The aim is to provide a whole lot of attacking options to make the opposition defence think. If we can make them think, we can make them sluggish.
Great video. Great way to explain roles of players leaving the scrum. And where to position themselves to stretch the defence and get more go forward ball.
great video well explained.thanks Wayne.good luck for the world cup.
Excellent video on attack using lead runner, we have used these patterns all season with added tip on and back door options. Result of precise execution 20 wins from 21 league games and promotion, thank you Rugby Site for the idea. Wayne Smith best around.
I would love Wayne to do a Change of Direction Attack with integrated forwards. For example going same side twice with the forwars, but then bringing it back reverse side with a wide backline attack. Most defensive systems are very alert to same side attack and you sometimes have to be creative to get by them.
Just want to reinforce what Jordan Watson said. It took me a while to understand what the lead was doing so close to the line and why he was catching the ball standing to flat-footed. I like this video for showing what options you can use with forwards and how to link to to the backs, but a little more clarity of each role would have been fantastic.
excellent video. Excellent tips. I plan on implimenting this as a go to setup to ensure all the young players expect the ball, and we have options off it.
Great presentation again with clear ideas being implemented well. I especially like how Wayne asks the players if they have any questions. Sometimes I find when I coaching team attacking patterns, the frustration can get the better of me when players make mistakes. Wayne is also really good at reinforcing the positives throughout what can be a difficult learning process for the players.
Great video. Definitely great ideas about how to cause problems for defence.
Excelente video que ofrece con simpleza y claridad una idea o alternativa para ganar preciosas fracciones de segundo en el desarrollo general del juego.
Fantastic demostration that shows how to get set up off the ruck. Can't wait for our season here in Canada to start to impliment it.
As good as the coaching is here, the much improved production(side by side comparison footage, highlighting the target channel etc) when compared to the early modules on the site, is also a big help.
Really enjoyed that module, Mr Smith. Has reinforced our Forward Attack here at Cairns Brothers which has carried us strongly into today's Major Semi Final against the Minor Premiers. Should be a ripper in glorious conditions this afternoon. Cheers!!
Better late than never. Too bad this video has come at the end of my coaching season. Will definitely use it for future reference. My best Wayne Smith clip to date. Well presented, Rugby Professor!Look forward to more detail coaching.
Absolutely first class coaching session, easily explained and able to incorporate to youth players as well as more experienced and senior players. Game related from start to finish.


Check out these videos I found for more cleaning motivation. Some good Mum Hacks and a video by Pretty Neat Living purging items from her pantry.
I hope you find these useful to have a more productive home. It so good to have that good old clear out before the summer, so you can forget about it until Autumn arrives and enjoy those sunny days.
Many thanks for viewing my blog, please let me know if you have any hacks or if you have created a video of you purging your items, I would love to hear from you.
Sometimes you have to get motivation to clean up, so I love nothing more than watching others clean and declutter to help get me motivated and ready to clean up.
Please check out these videos below of inspiration.
Check out Myka Stauffer she often does cleaning motivational videos and find them really inspiring to watch.
This is video made by Ash Mama-Reid, who has created a speed cleaning video. There is nothing better than to be able to do a speed clean, really helps set yourself up for the rest of the week.
To have a good clean up, it is good to purge items you no longer need, Do It On A Dime does tones of videos on how to reorganize spaces and keep them organized, check out her video above of how she purged items in her closet.
I have created three videos of how I re-organized my husbands bits and bobs. beside his side of the bed and created a more functional and smarter looking area.
Here is the final video, showing how I completed the organization of my husband's side of the bed.
It took no time at all, about 5 to 10 minutes and very happy now this space is a lot more tidier and organized.
I did my Winter Clean up and filmed myself clearing out a draw and corner unit. I couldn't make it into one big video so uploaded them separately. I have created five videos of me clearing out these areas.
This is video part 1, where I begin to sort out the paper work, brochures, instruction manuals, etc in different piles. I filled a box fall of items that needed to go upstairs and items to be shredded.
Video 2, when I clean out a draw or cupboard I like to leave it clear and opened for a bit, just to give it a bit of airing.
Video Three, I sort out my corner unit.
Video 4 I refill my draw unit, with a folder fall of instructions for all our appliances and takeaway menus, and have a huge box full of items to be taken upstairs.
My final video my corner unit has been aired and cleared out, and much better organised.

Tuchel has faith in Weidenfeller, Reus returns

P. Aubameyang
M. Reus
Thomas Tuchel has full confidence in veteran Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller's ability to deputise for the injured Roman Burki, starting with Tuesday's Champions League game against Legia Warsaw.
Dortmund are fresh from Sunday's 1-0 Klassiker victory over Bayern Munich, in which regular number one Burki suffered a broken hand, ruling him out for the remainder of 2016.
Weidenfeller will step in and Tuchel – who confirmed Marco Reus is back in the squad following a heel problem – has no doubt the 36-year-old will rise to the challenge, expressing more concern over how the Under-23s will cope when their first choice is drafted into the senior squad.
"We have huge trust in Roman Weidenfeller. However, losing your starting goalkeeper is a big blow," said Tuchel.
"Hendrik Bonmann will be the third goalkeeper. Frankly, I don't know how the Under-23s will make do without him."
Dortmund were indebted to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's 12th Bundesliga goal of the season as they reignited their title hopes with the weekend win over Carlo Ancelotti's side, who were previously unbeaten in the top flight.
The hosts spent much of the game on the back foot at Signal Iduna Park before celebrating wildly at full-time, but Tuchel has no fears his men will be suffering a hangover for the midweek Group F clash on home soil.
"Maybe playing so shortly after Saturday helps us so that nobody feels inclined to pat his own back for too long," he added.
"We will rotate and bring in fresh players. I expect the maximum from the players that play."
Tuchel's side have already secured progress from the group, but face a battle with reigning European champions Real Madrid to win it.

RSI opens nominations for board members
Written by Andrew Corselli, Managing Editor
The Railway Supply Institute (RSI) announced April 23 that it is soliciting nominations for executives from member companies to fill three spots on its board of directors for a term beginning in January 2020.
Board members "are expected to serve a three-year term and attend three annual in-person meetings, participate on committees and be available to staff and members," according to RSI, and nominees must hail from a member company in good standing, while self-nominations are encouraged.
RSI President Mike O'Malley said that the nominating committee would vet the nominees, who will be presented to the board for consideration. The board will then present a slate of candidates to the RSI members for ratification at the Annual Membership Meeting, which will be held at Railway Interchange on Sept. 24 in Minneapolis, Minn.
The deadline for nominations is June 3.
"Serving on the RSI board of directors is a great opportunity for an executive from a member company to take a leadership position and advance the goals of our association and our industry," said O'Malley. "We are seeking candidates who have the commitment and vision to champion innovation and change for our organization, member companies and the rail supply industry."

G20 rules out 'premature withdrawal' of stimulus
Fossil fuel subsidies, bankers' pay to come under global scanner, IMF asked to prepare a report by next year on banking system …
Pittsburgh: In pitching for a more inclusive structure of global economic governance, the G20 may have set its sights on the future management of the world economy. But the single most important decision taken by the group of leading economies on Friday was to press ahead with the stimulus measures currently being implemented till recovery was certain.
Speaking to reporters here shortly after the end of the group's summit, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said it was good that the G20 had agreed that there would be no premature withdrawal of the "trillion dollar" stimulus flowing from its last two summits. Since the global economy had clearly not bottomed out, it was too early to talk of an "exit" from this approach in the short-run. Instead, the communique said a transparent and credible process for withdrawing the "extraordinary" fiscal, monetary and financial sector support should be developed for implementation "when recovery becomes fully secured."
In terms of strengthening the international financial regulatory system, the G20 agreed to a number of measures that would ensure that there was no return "to the excessive risk taking prevalent in some countries before the crisis." These include calling on banks to retain a greater proportion of current profits to build capital, imposing tougher regulations on over-the-counter derivatives and reforming compensation practices in the financial sector to support stability.
Excessive pay and bonuses in the sector have encouraged excessive risk taking, the G20 said, pitching for a supervisory structure in which firms with "risky" salary and bonus policies could be forced to implement corrective measures like higher capital requirements in order to offset additional risks. In particular, firms that failed or required public assistance should be forced to modify their compensation structures, the G20 noted in a nod to the controversy in Europe and the U.S. over multimillion dollar bonuses being paid from public funds to executives of bailed out banks.
In another first, the G20 has tasked the IMF with preparing a report by next year on how to get the financial sector to "make a fair and substantial contribution towards paying for any burdens associated with government interventions to repair the banking system." This suggestion, mooted by Germany, is meant to cover proposals like the 'Tobin tax' on speculative capital flows.
The battle to recapitalise the World Bank and other regional development banks — a key priority for India — was only partially won with the G20 agreeing to find the necessary resources based on a review of the capital needs of these banks to be completed in the first half of 2010.
The G20 also discussed the important issue of climate change and called for a successful outcome in the forthcoming UN Framework Convention on Climate Change negotiations in Copenhagen. But Prime Minister Singh said that this call was more in the way of a "pious wish" since it was not at all clear that the developed countries were willing to implement the emission cuts earlier UN conventions required of them.
Though the Prime Minister did not draw attention to it, the final communiqué also includes a commitment by the G20 for the phasing out of "inefficient fossil fuel subsidies" over the medium term, with the interests of poor consumers in the developing world addressed by targeted cash transfers (as Indonesia has been attempting to implement) rather than price distorting subsidies that may lead to excessive consumption. Moreover, "relevant institutions" like the International Energy Agency, the World Bank and OECD have been asked to "provide an analysis of the scope of energy subsidies" and suggest how these could be eliminated, a process that may see India being put in the dock.
That India has a problem with this approach was made clear by the Prime Minister's Special Envoy on Climate Change, Shyam Saran. On September 24, he told reporters here that he was not convinced about the utility of introducing such a subsidy phase-out at the G20. At stake was the interest of India's poorest consumers, who benefit from affordable kerosene for their cooking and even lighting needs, and farmers who use subsidised diesel. Though India subsidised fossil fuel consumption, post-subsidy prices in relation to the purchasing power of the average citizen were among the highest in the world, he had said. But other Indian officials made light of the G20 formulation, saying the government itself was keen to limit subsidies and move towards cash transfers.
In his remarks to reporters, Prime Minister Singh also highlighted the renewed commitment of the G20 to fight protectionism. The group agreed that this could be realised by working for "an ambitious and balanced conclusion" to the Doha round of trade talks by 2010.

The statement below (written collaboratively by Diya Bose, Alicia Vogl Saenz, and me) was read in the order of writers above: Jamie Asaye Fitzgerald, Alicia Vogl Saenz, Elline Lipkin, Manuela Traude Gomez, Diya Bose, Lynn Harris Ballen, Lisbeth Coiman, and me (Sehba Sarwar); photo by Ayesha Kamran.
"Before we begin, we pause to acknowledge that this library sits on unceded land of the Tongva peoples. We realize that this acknowledgement, on its own, is not enough; but it is a necessary first step. Let us take this moment as an opportunity to reflect on the ways in which we can participate in decolonial practices.
I recognize I am a guest in the homeland territory of the Tongva. I extend my respect and gratitude to the many indigenous people who call these lands home.
With the rise of global fascism, restricted border crossings, and land grabbing, we gather today in solidarity with communities across the globe to recognize their struggle and suffering.
Today, we stand with the people of the border region between Mexico and the US.
We stand with citizens of Jammu and Kashmir and condemn the actions of the Indian government.
We condemn racialized, settler-colonial violence around the world and stand in resistance against prisons of all forms: be they the open air prisons in Kashmir and Gaza, migrant detention camps, or the prisons of mass incarceration. We stand with the stateless, houseless and incarcerated in Los Angeles and elsewhere.
Today's gathering is dedicated to the support of citizens around the world who struggle for their freedom to express their voices and to cross borders.
Thank you for joining us in celebration of words."
We opened our reading, celebrate our voices / / BAN THE WALLS, with the above statement, taking turns to step up to the mic and read.
When I first planned the event, I invited friends from my newfound LA literary community—as well as my daughter Minal and her friend Sofia—to read alongside me and celebrate the publication of Black Wings. But given the atrocities being committed by the US government on the US-Mexico border, the occupation of Kashmir and Palestine, and erupting violence around the globe, I made sure that the afternoon included protest.
On Sunday, August 25, Pasadena Central Library was filled with friends and members of my new-found community, who were treated to a rich array of text by writers with histories in Ecuador, Eastern Europe, South Africa, Venezuela, Hawaii, Mexico, India and more. Each writer rose to the occasion and read powerful work that tackled borders and protest.
On one side of the stage, my friend Kishwar Jaffer sold t-shirts that were mailed in by poet Emmy Pérez who has launched Poets Against Walls in McAllen, Texas. By the end of the afternoon, t-shirts were sold out as were copies of Black Wings. Together—in a gathering reminiscent of the post-9/11 Words for Peace series that I initiated in Houston—we cut cake, ate samosas and snacks, and celebrated birthdays, friendships, and dissent.

Q: Click function still working for previous class which is already replaced by other I am having a problem with jQuery click event. When I replace the class of a div the click function is still working for the previous class. Here is the code I am working with:
$(this).removeClass('edit_agent_val').addClass('edit_agent_val2');

The click function is still working for edit_agent_val instead of edit_agent_val2.
// This should not work
$('.edit_agent_val').on('click', function(e) {
     // some code...
});

// This should work
$('.edit_agent_val2').on('click', function(e) {
    // some code...
});

Can anyone help me fix this issue?

A: The issue is because the events are attached on load when the element still has the original class. The act of changing a class attribute does not affect any of the events attached to the element.
To achieve what you want you would need to use a delegated event handler, which is attached to a parent element:
$(document).on('click', '.edit_agent_val', function(e) {
     // some code...
});

$(document).on('click', '.edit_agent_val2', function(e) {
    // some code...
});

Note that I have only used document here as an example. In final working code you should use the closest parent element to both .edit_agent_val elements.

A: Use event delegation for adding and removing the class dynamically.
If the Dom didn't know the class is removed or not on traversed so use of document or immediate parent selector to traverse it again and check the class is found or not
$(document/immediateParent).on('click', '.edit_agent_val' ,function(e){          **// This should not work**
     // some code...
});

$(document/immediateParent).on('click', '.edit_agent_val2', function(e){        **// This should work**
    // some code...
});

Ricky's Tennis preview and picks for Sunday in Indian Wells, including Andy Murray vs. Bublik
By Ricky Dimon

Andy Murray survived a tough opening match and will continue his Indian Wells campaign against Alexander Bublik on Sunday. Meanwhile, a struggling Matteo Berrettini may have a fight on his hands against a confident Holger Rune.
Here are my previews and picks for two of the best matches.
(31) Alexander Bublik vs. (WC) Andy Murray
Bublik and Murray will be going head-to-head for the third time in their careers when they clash in round two of the BNP Paribas Open on Sunday afternoon. Murray has won both of their previous encounters; 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 at Wimbledon five years ago and 7-6(6), 6-4 earlier this season on the indoor hard courts of Rotterdam. That is hardly a surprise, as Murray has feasted on big servers throughout his career.
Although Bublik is not exactly a one-dimensional power player, he would like to keep points shorter than he will probably have to play in the desert. The 33rd-ranked Kazakh has never won a match at this event, having previously failed in two qualifying attempts. Bublik is off to a strong start in 2022 so this should be more competitive than their first two meetings, but Murray already has a good win under his belt this week over Taro Daniel and will likely handle the conditions better than his opponent.
Pick: Murray in 3

(6) Matteo Berrettini vs. (Q) Holger Rune
The chasm in confidence between Berrettini and Rune may be just as sizable–if not larger–as the difference in rankings. Berrettini comes in at No. 6 in the world while Rune is 86th, but it is the youngster who has all of the momentum right now. Rune already has three match wins under his belt in Indian Wells, having qualified for the main draw (d. Mitchell Krueger and Stefan Kozlov) before beating Ugo Humbert 6-3, 6-2 on Friday.
Berrettini is just 7-5 this season, including 2-4 outside of the Australian Open. The Italian lost early in Rio de Janeiro and then retired from his Acapulco opener because of an abdominal injury that also plagued him at the end of 2021. Given that Berrettini has not played since then and his opponent is 3-0 this week alone, an upset may be in the cards.
Pick: Rune in 3

Mazda Team Joest is entering the 2019 IMSA WeatherTech Championship season in a more experienced and confident position than last year, one that was filled with early glimmers of both turmoil and brilliance. Woes at Daytona masked the potential for the factory-backed outfit but gave way to an impressive outing at Sebring, though the latter still didn't end as expected with a late-race problem that cost the team a likely podium. However, that form was molded throughout the season and it eventually helped them claim a trio of podiums between the Nos. 55 and 77 cars.
Skip to January and Oliver Jarvis is beating the Daytona track record in his Mazda RT24-P DPi with teammate Harry Tincknell only fractions of a second behind.
This was enough to spark optimism, albeit cautious, in the Team Joest paddock. The pieces seem to be coming together with the organization's full-time drivers on pace, along with their guests—DTM maestro Rene Rast and international endurance star Timo Bernhard—backing them up.
"I am definitely heading into this year with a lot more optimism than last. I have always had 100 percent faith in Mazda Team Joest, but last year we were definitely not where we wanted to be. We continue to learn and progress but having had a year of working together and constantly improving not only reliability, but also performance, I think we head into this year's race knowing we have a package capable of fighting for the win."
Meanwhile, he'll be looking to officially claim the track record which was originally set by P.J. Jones in Dan Gurney's Toyota Mk. III Eagle GTP car 26 years ago.
The 2019 running of the day-long enduro marks 40 years since Mazda's debut at Daytona (which it won), a memory that North American director John Doonan recalls fondly and hopes to recreate this weekend.
Mazda and the boys at Joest will have a field full of Cadillacs, Acuras, and a Nissan to battle with, but if they have it their way, they'll be making history and wearing a new watch come time for the checkered flag on Sunday.

For Repair, Replacement or Service, call Washtenaw County's top certified plumber. Excellent service at an affordable rate.
We believe in taking care of our customers. Give us a call and let us show you the excellent service we offer.
Mitch The Plumber is proud to be a locally owned & operated plumbing business serving all of Washtenaw County since 1979. We stress customer service and know customer retention and referrals come only by providing outstanding service at competitive prices.
We have technicians who are well trained to handle any size job; big or small. We have the experience to handle residential and commercial jobs, the right way, the first time.
For your protection, the law requires that a licensed plumber perform most plumbing work. Check to make sure that you are dealing with a qualified professional who is licensed by the State of Michigan.
Hot water heaters have gone from a luxury item to a necessity in today's American household. We often take hot water for granted, until we run out of it. We use hot water for washing dishes, washing clothes, bathing, and many other things around the house. We naturally assume it will always be available when we need it. Access to hot water has become a "convenience" we just can't live without.
Leaky bathroom sinks or drains are not a laughing matter. The last thing you want to see when you are washing your hands or brushing your teeth is water that is supposed to be going down the drain taking a little detour. Leaky pipes or drains can be the start of a big plumbing problem if not fixed quickly.
Clogged shower drains & slow tub drains are definitely an issue that must be addressed sooner rather than later. This is especially true when the shower is on the second floor of your home. When your shower drain begins to leak, the water can damage not only the floor, but also the ceiling below.
Garbage disposals clog because over time the waste line or trap gets coated and eventually becomes obstructed with food waste. Clogs are most often caused by how the ground food waste reacts to water or lack of water after the disposal unit has ground it up and sends it on its way into waste line.
Water filtration systems and water softeners are a hot topic–and for good reason. Increasingly more people are drinking bottled water for health issues and better taste. Water filtration systems and water softeners not only give you a healthier water to drink, but they also provide cleaner water for your laundry.
The sump pump in your basement is the last thing on your mind until water starts coming in. A sump pump that is working properly will keep water off your basement floor, but no sump pump will last forever. It is very important to have your sump pump inspected at least once a year to make sure it is ready for the annual snow melt and spring rains.
Finned-tube baseboard heat is the most common type of hot water heat in the United States. Located close to the floor, finned-tube emitters are usually housed in metal enclosures that have reflective material behind them to encourage heat transfer from the fins or slats to the air passing over them, rather than being lost via conductivity through the cold wall behind it.
You were the only person that came out to give an estimate that actually said that the problem was not with our service line, and you were right.
I called them for a problem and to my surprise they showed up within 2 hours and fixed it in no time.
I have been using Mitch The Plumber for long time, could not be happier. Always on time and cost effective services.
If you have any plumbing issues, we are just one call away. Contact us now!

A: Keep Improving the quality of the output nearby, when using tesseract.
Your input is some three-channel RGB image. First try, even before binarization, would be to convert to single-channel grayscale:
from PIL import Image
from pytesseract import pytesseract

img = Image.open('b8JEG.png').convert('L')

x = pytesseract.image_to_string(img)
print(repr(x))
# '40\n\n'

As you can see, that already helped.
Alternatively, have a look at the page segmentation mode section. Mode 6 seems reasonable here:

img = Image.open('b8JEG.png')

x = pytesseract.image_to_string(img, config='-psm 6')
print(repr(x))

2021 Lost Elephant Ultra Race: Event Recap
Previous Dispatch From Thu Aug 12, 2021
Bikepacking the SF Peninsula Traverse (video)
The Lost Elephant Ultra Race in British Columbia has a reputation for being an incredibly challenging event, and it was made even more difficult by this year's wildfires, smoke, and high temperatures. Find a reflection from first-place finisher Justin Hettinga here, alongside photos from Justin Keitch…
Words by Justin Hettinga (@cuscocanuck), photos by Justin Keitch (@jkeitch)
The ride described here traverses the territory of the Ktunaxa Amakis Nation.
The sky had an orange tinge and the sun was a dull glow in the evening sky as we all converged on a forested park in Cranbrook, British Columbia. It was the pre-race meeting for the Lost Elephant Ultra Bike race and. we all had two things on our minds: fires and smoke.
Nathan Siemens, the selfless race organizer, said he'd hoped to see 40 riders, but there were only 10 or 12. Most riders bailed before the race even began. The Lost Elephant has two different lengths. This year, the Dumbo was 344 kilometres with 4,670 metres of climbing. The Jumbo is what I came for, and this year the route developers had masterfully interwoven the two courses. I finished the 2020 race in 52+ hours and hoped to do this year in a similar time. The Jumbo course was 546 kilometres, up from 520 the previous year. However, it had 7,673 metres of climbing, down 1,000, though it had 16% singletrack, up from 2020.
In the morning, the smoke hadn't subsided as forecasted. At 6 a.m. we all rode off and I found myself at the front chatting with Dave Cleveland, and soon we blew by the first major turn. Mistake #1.
Fort Steele RV Park marked the beginning of the 1,200-metre Wildhorse Pass. Dave was pushing me hard and I didn't want him to drop me. The first 80% of Wildhorse is forestry road and its upper reaches turn into a steep quad track that's dominated by baby-head rocks that needed to be hike-a-biked. Dave took off down the descent as I stopped to filter water. The descent started out steep and loose. Descending is my strength, so after a few kilometres, I zipped past him. The long descent took us past Top of the World Provincial Park. At the bottom, we rode along two stunning lakes.
Near the end of Whiteswan Lake, I spotted an outhouse and pulled off the road. This changed the race, as Dave did not see me and blew past me. He was obviously going hard, trying to catch me. Soon we began the second big climb of the day, where I spotted him in the distance for the last time. He had put the hurt into me on Wildhorse Pass and I could not catch him. At the top, I followed some huge grizzly tracks. Were they laid down an hour ago? Or a week ago? A pile of steaming partially digested berries soon answered my question.
Within a few hours, I turned up towards the notorious Crossing Creek, aka Koko Claims. Either direction involves hike-a-bike. At the top of the descent, I ran into two Dumbo racers who had seen Dave and informed him that no one was ahead of them. Somehow, I managed to ride the full descent. The last six kilometres coming into the coal town of Elkford was flowy singletrack. I pulled in at 8:15 p.m. I had planned to ride until dark, but the local pizza joint and motel were calling my name. Dave rode on to a motel in Sparwood.
By 2:45 a.m., I was on the trail with my belly full of oatmeal and lousy coffee. My goal was to hit Sparwood's Tim Hortons when it opened at 5 a.m. This section was a challenge to navigate in the dark, as it was a maze of cattle trails and doubletrack. I missed plenty of turns. Before I knew it,I was enjoying coffee and muffins. The next section to Fernie is the Coal Discovery Trail, which is mostly great singletrack. As I rode, I determined I had enough food to make it to Elko's gas station that closes at 10 p.m. I figured the other racers would resupply in Fernie. Dave was two hours behind me, but as a strong climber, he could reel me in on the big climbs ahead.
The singletrack after Fernie did not disappoint. I was soon back on gravel roads and climbing towards the Flathead Valley, so I checked Trackleaders before losing cell signal. Oh no! Dave had scratched. Was he Okay? Unfortunately, the cat and mouse game I had been playing in my head was now over.
The Lost Elephant legend, Eric Ross, who was now in second place, had mentioned at the pre-race meeting, "The Flathead, aka Grizzly Alley, is where all the problem bears are released." The next few hours were a blur of dusty heat, but thankfully no bears. Eventually I got off the big forestry roads and was climbing on a minimally travelled road.
As I began the descent, I thought I would make Elko by 7 p.m. (mistake #?). Eventually, I was blasting down doubletrack, following along a river that flowed to Elko. Suddenly it ended. I glanced down at my GPS to discover the route wasn't even on the screen. Five minutes later, I was back on track, but now I was hike-a-biking up a small mountain that stood in my way. The final descent into Elko was a blast. I rolled into the gas station by 9:15 p.m. and grabbed all the calories I would need to get me to the end of the race the next day. I spent the night in a field outside of Elko.
The last day was mostly rolling doubletrack and forestry roads. The final 40-kilometre stretch was on the Chief Isadore Trail, a rail trail interspersed with plenty of fun and flowy singletrack. I rolled into the finish after 2 days, 5 hours, and 43 minutes.

Woman says Otha Carroll often argued with the man he's accused of killing
A Battle Creek woman told a jury Thursday that Otha Carroll often argued with the man he is charged with killing.
Tabitha Davidson told the Calhoun County Circuit Court jury she was a former girlfriend and longtime friend of Dennis Selmon, 64, who was found dead in a burning house at 370 N. Washington St. on Oct. 2, 2018.
Davidson said Carroll and Selmon bought and sold drugs from each other but they often argued and, on some occasions, Selmon would tell Carroll to leave his home.
Carroll is charged with felony murder in the death of Selmon and assault with intent to murder in the assault of Megan Aston, 37.
Aston told a judge in a preliminary hearing that she was at Selmon's house when Carroll opened a bathroom door and began attacking her with a hammer.
Aston said she and Selmon were using heroin that day when Carroll came to the house. After she was attacked, she told police, Carroll left and she realized the house was on fire and Selmon was on the floor and not moving.
Two passing firefighters saw the fire and rescued Aston but were unable to save Selmon.
Aston died last year, and her earlier testimony is expected to be read to the jury on Friday.
In testimony Thursday, Fire Marshall Quincy Jones said he determined the fire was arson after laboratory tests determined gasoline had been poured on a couch and set on fire in the room where Selmon's body was found.
And, in testimony late in the day, a Michigan State Police Laboratory Technician, Heather Goff, said she found DNA from Aston's blood on a T-shirt worn by Carroll when he was arrested the night of the fire.
Testimony continues Friday afternoon before Judge Sarah Lincoln.

Jim Backus and Ann Doran "Rebel Without a Cause" Photos with Negatives. Jim Backus and Ann Doran made a crucial contribution to Rebel Without a Cause via their performances as Jim Trask's largely clueless parents. The three shots here include a candid of the couple in formal costume attire, apparently reviewing their lines (back of set flat is visible in the background); a scene in the police station (with Virginia Brissac and Edward Platt also in the shot); and a shot of them at home in night clothes. Each picture has a damaged corner but otherwise in Very Fine to Excellent condition, and the original negatives are included.

Are you the type of person who is active, always on the go, loves challenges and into gadgets and latest technology?
If your on the look out for a tech product that can perfectly fit in your lifetsyle, you might want to check the Acer Iconia Tab A510 Olympic Games Edition that brings to its customers the ultimate mobile device for pushing boundaries and exploring beyond limits.
The exclusive 10.1-inch Android tablet features a marathon battery life of up to 18 hours, the unprecedented performance of the NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core mobile super processor, a winning suite of productivity apps and technologies, and the refined, evolved interface of the Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) platform. It also carries the signature innovation of tech pioneer Acer, as well as the spirit of the world's greatest sporting event: the Olympic Games.
Acer, a Worldwide Partner of the Olympic Movement and an official supporter of the recently concluded 2012 Olympic Games in London, designed the special-edition A510 for champions: those ready and set to become the best they can be—at work, play, and everything in between.
Embodying Olympian strength and speed. Like its users, the Acer Iconia Tab A510 Olympic Games Edition is built to achieve. The tablet's smooth, sleek cover—which elegantly simulates the texture of premium leather and comes stamped with the distinctive Olympics/Acer logo—embodies invincible strength and undeniable style. It also protects the A510's beautiful 10.1-inch LCD screen, while framing the dazzling visuals produced by the tablet's impressive display capabilities: full HD (1280 by 800) resolution, hardware-accelerated Adobe Flash integration, front- and rear-facing cameras, and capacitive multi-touchscreen technology.
Complementing the device's head-turning design is its jaw-dropping speed. As Acer's first NVIDIA Tegra 3 tablet, the Acer Iconia Tab A510 delivers up to 5 times the performance of previous-generation devices. Its energy-savvy mobile quad-core CPU guarantees more power, less battery consumption, and more effective workload distribution, enabling the tablet to work at Olympian pace. With the Acer Iconia Tab A510, users can enjoy smooth HD multimedia playback, hardcore console-quality gaming, extreme multitasking, and twice-as-fast Web browsing—anywhere and anytime. A fifth battery-saving core, meanwhile, efficiently handles low-power tasks like music playback and active standby, helping extend the Acer Iconia Tab A510's industry-leading battery life.
Power-packed design for long-lasting entertainment and productivity. Only 0.4 inches thin, the slim and lightweight Acer Iconia Tab A510 Olympic Games Edition does not need extra bulk to set the benchmark for endurance. Its Ultra 36.2 Wh battery, which is 50 percent bigger than that of other 10.1-inch Android tablets, is seamlessly integrated into the tablet's lean, power-packed design. Thanks to this battery, the Acer Iconia Tab A510 is able to effortlessly provide up to 15 hours of video playback, 12 hours of Wi-Fi video streaming, and 8.8 hours of Wi-Fi browsing.
Acer's new Android tablet doesn't need a full multi-channel speaker setup to sound amazing, either. Built-in Dolby ® Mobile 3+ technology (with premium 5.1 HD output) delivers cinematic surround sound to users' movies and music, and heightens every listening experience with its powerful boost and bass extension. The A510, moreover, includes high-definition voice and three-meter recording capabilities, complete with dual-microphone noise suppression, far-field voice recognition, and speech recognition technologies for delivering high-fidelity sound and high-precision recording.
If this Olympic-edition Iconia Tab's hardware is well-equipped to handle heavyweight apps and tasks, so is its software. The Android Ice Cream Sandwich operating system introduces feature enhancements—such as a new voice-activated search and input engine, one-touch access to visual thumbnails, improved 3D rendering, and a beautiful, simplified home screen—that revolutionize the tablet experience. And, just like in every beloved Android-powered device, hundreds of thousands of apps are available for instant download at the Google Play store.
Meanwhile, a complete suite of productivity apps transforms the Acer Iconia Tab A510 into a mobile business powerhouse. The easy-to-use Polar Office 3.5, which is compatible with Microsoft Office, enables the viewing and editing of documents for on-the-go access to critical data. The Acer Print app, meanwhile, features cutting-edge wireless printing technology supporting a wide variety of files, printing formats, and printers. Evernote, the critically acclaimed app for capturing and remembering everything, is also pre-installed on every Olympic-edition A510.
Available in 16 GB and 32 GB models, with room for an extra 32 GB of SD storage, the Acer Iconia Tab A510 Olympic Games Edition boasts of vital data management features. These include a Micro-USB 2.0 port, a Micro-HDMI port (supporting VGA to HDMI connection for on-the-spot presentations), the DLNA-standard Acer clear.fi wireless multimedia sharing solution, and a signature UI control app called Acer Ring, which opens up a series of key settings, bookmarks, and contextual menu options with a single screen grab.
In packing all these, the Acer Iconia Tab A510 Olympic Games Edition delivers on its promise of being the ultimate mobile device for champions. The special iteration of Acer's state-of-the-art Android tablet stays true to its Olympic theme, demonstrating once and for all that there are no limits to what its users can achieve.
