Comrades, we stand now at the edifice of our Russian legacy in this latest Kanium Steel Beasts event. History has so far transpired in a loose illusionary fashion with little regard for the actuality of our circumstances; this will now be corrected in 2018 by the might and glorious plans of our beloved president, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.
In our modern times, reality seems to shimmer and flicker with a story that is so attuned to actual past- and current events, that several people have already remarked how unsettling it is.
This is because the beautifully crafted narrative, by Nike-Ajax and ShortNSweet respectively, is an effort to push the experience of Steel Beasts to something that we hope, is a lot more close to home in order to increase the immersion and fun. The event comes with an comprehensive background story from 1975 Leningrad to the present day, propaganda imagery and believable dialogue – some of it real, some if it..questionable? Perhaps? All of this has been put into a context of the current difficulties experienced in Ukraine, as well as past events that lead up to this moment.

Ladies and Gentlemen, brothers and sisters, comrades, friends and fellow Kanes! Welcome to the 2017, Kanium Steel Beasts New Years Special!
Soon 2018 will be here and most people will shoot off fireworks to celebrate that. We will too, we just have slightly different fireworks in mind.
The event has been crafted with great care and effort, having a fully fledged background story, clear orders and enough material to last for many hours of gameplay. Gameplay we want to share with you all. It is for this reason we, Kanium, would like to invite each and every one of you to join us and see what its like to play "survive the onslaught of the horde", but with tanks instead of zombies. Oh yes, it will be Epic!
Finally, on behalf of all the wonderful members of Kanium, to the people we call our friends, family, brothers and sisters in arms and in life: Merry Yule/Christmas & a Happy New Years to all of you!

District to host orienteers for big event
By Daniel Birchfield
New Zealand's top orienteering event comes to North Otago for the first time over Easter, bringing with it more than 500 competitors.
The New Zealand orienteering nationals for 2019 start tomorrow with a short, sharp sprint championship that will take competitors through the Oamaru Public Gardens to the town's Victorian precinct, a distance of between 1.6km and 3.7km, based on its technical difficulty.
That is followed by the long-distance championships at Kuriheka, near Maheno, that covers distances between 2.1km and 13.1km.
The event's website describes the terrain that awaits competitors as "flat-topped farmland between gullies forested in mature manuka and pine''.
The middle-distance event is scheduled for Sunday at Maerewhenua on private land near Duntroon, the site of now abandoned gold mines that "will test your navigation skills''.
It covers between 1.7km and 3.8km.
Another sprint relay takes place at Waitaki Boys' High School on Sunday, before the final relay event at Earthquakes, again near Duntroon, on Monday.
Event co-ordinator Jan Harrison said 570 competitors had entered the championships, including more than 50 from Australia, a handful from the United Kingdom and a family from Finland, who were visiting the South Island over Easter.
She said the event would be tougher than usual, given competitors had not experienced North Otago's terrain before.
"It's a very new area for us. It's definitely uncharted territory for us.
"There's one map in the area we are using for [the] relay, but other than that we haven't been in that area before,'' Ms Harrison said.
"It's really exciting to be in an area that no-one else is familiar with, so it makes it a really level playing field.
"Everybody is coming in fresh and having to navigate with brand new maps in places they've never been before.
"It becomes a real test.''
The nationals are being hosted by the Christchurch-based Peninsula and Plains Orienteers club.

Q: null/empty-string first last In a lot of SQL dialects, they support the [NULLS {FIRST | LAST}]. Why isn't their also that same extension to the ORDER BY for sorting empty strings, which I often find myself wanting to push to the beginning or the end. For example, in the following column:
`name`
NULL
"tom"
"alex"
""
"zack"

I could see myself wanting to sort by something like:
NULL
"alex"
"tom"
"zack"
""

In which case it would nice to be able to do:
ORDER BY name NULLS FIRST EMPTY_STRING LAST

Or both of them at the end (nulls before empty string):
ORDER BY name NULLS LAST EMPTY_STRING LAST

Is there a construction like that in SQL? Or it only allows the NULL shortcut?

A: You could use NULLIF:
ORDER BY NULLIF(name, '') NULLS LAST

A: For Sql server you can control the order with a xx_BIN collation.  For example varchar column, NULLs first, empty strings last:
order by name + char(0xff) collate Latin1_General_Bin

A: SQL Server does not have an empty string last function. You can either cast empty strings as NULL or you will need to create a custom sort.
--This will treat blank values as NULLs
ORDER BY
    CASE
        WHEN name = '' THEN NULL
        ELSE name
        END NULLs LAST

or
--This custom order will put blanks first and nulls last
ORDER BY
    CASE
        WHEN name = '' THEN 1
        ELSE 2
        END
    ,name NULLs LAST

New Covenant Christian School (NCCS) is a private, classical Christian school in Abingdon, Maryland. It is composed of the Grammar School (K-6) and the Upper School (grades 7-12).

Location

New Covenant Christian School is located at 128 Saint Mary's Church Road in Abingdon, Maryland. (This is also the address of New Covenant Presbyterian Church, although the school has its own wing of the building.) NCCS is a ministry of New Covenant Presbyterian Church (NCPC).

School identity

The mascot of the school is the New Covenant Knight. The school colors are burgundy and navy blue.

A motto among the teachers and staff is "Sharpening minds, shepherding hearts, shaping lives." The mission statement of New Covenant Christian School is: "We exist to glorify God by assisting parents in training their children to be Biblically-minded servant-leaders through a Reformed, Christ-centered, classical education."

Student body

Although the school is a ministry of New Covenant Presbyterian Church, it includes students from many different churches and faith backgrounds.

House system
A house system was instated in the Upper School in September 2011. Students are assigned to four houses, all named after influential historical figures: Athanasius House, Augustine House, Calvin House, and Luther House. Each house is led by a student who serves as the House Captain. It is the Captain's job to manage house operations along with other house officers. The Captains and Delegates make up the Student Leadership Council (SLC), which works with faculty and administration to plan, organize, and manage many Upper School activities, such as social events, service projects, and competitions.

History

The school was founded in 1999. At the start, only kindergarten and first grade were offered. In the following years, NCCS added one grade level until the school celebrated its first graduating class in 2010.

The school follows the classical model of education which is based on the structures of ancient and medieval education systems. Under this model, students progress through the trivium: grammar, logic, and rhetoric stages.

Methodology
In kindergarten through sixth, the students progress through the grammar stage. During these years, a child's brain develops in such a way that he or she is able to easily memorize information. Lessons include instruction in the basics of grammar, phonics, mathematics, land formations, countries and capitals, names and dates of important people and events in history, and English and Latin vocabulary.

Grades seven through nine make up the logic phase (or dialectic phase). During these years, students naturally begin to question the world around them. The lessons in the logic years focus on reasoning skills: identifying relationships between facts and ideas, discerning fact from fallacy, etc. Essentially, the learning of facts continues from the grammar years and analytical skills are added to those facts.

The rhetoric phase is completed in grades ten through twelve. This phase is all about application. Students make practical use of the knowledge and skills they acquired in the grammar and logic phases. They are taught to creatively, eloquently, and effectively express themselves in writing and speech. There is also significant focus on debate in this phase.

Missoula County Sheriff's Deputy Ross Jessop and U.S. Forest Service Law Enforcement Officer Nick Scholz rushed toward the sound after hours spent searching the Montana woods for a missing infant.
The baby drank a whole bottle of Pedialyte in under a minute, then drank two more, said Missoula County Sheriff's Capt. Bill Burt. The baby's tiny, dirty hand grasped Burt's finger with surprising strength, then he fell soundly asleep as hospital officials hooked him up to an IV, Burt said.
Crowley doubled over, then fell to the floor and covered his face with his hands, sobbing. He exclaimed twice, "I love that f—— kid," and implored the judge not to take him away.
Public defender Ted Fellman said Crowley had no money and was living near Lolo Hot Springs. Sheriff's officials said Crowley, the child's mother and the boy were living in a camp near the hot springs in Lolo National Forest.
The nature of Crowley's relationship to the baby was not immediately clear.
But Crowley described crashing along an abandoned road that Jessop recognized as one that he started searching a little while earlier until it got too rough. He called for a four-wheel drive vehicle and he and Scholz found the wreck beyond the road's end. They followed a trail of items that included baby formula and a diaper bag before hearing the child.
For Jessop, who has three daughters, the rescue gave him encouragement in what he described as an emotionally draining job. In 2010, a coroner's inquest cleared Jessop in the fatal shooting of a man who had tried to shoot the deputy during a late-night traffic stop.

Underwater Volcano Found off West Iceland?
מתוך אתר
http://www.icelandreview.com
A mountain which the Icelandic Marine Research Institute (Hafró) discovered on the ocean floor west
off the Snæfellsnes peninsula in West Iceland during an expedition earlier this summer may turn out to be a previously unknown volcano.

Multi-laser measurements […] revealed a large underwater mountain deep off the foot of the continental shelf approximately 120 nautical miles west of Snæfellsnes," a statement from Hafró reads, according to Fréttablaðið.
The mountain, which is at a depth of 950 to 1,400 meters is around 450 meters high, similar to Ingólfsfjall in south Iceland. However, it extends over 300 square kilometers, which is ten times the square measure of Ingólfsfjall.
The shape of the mountain is very similar to that of table mountains and it appears to be geologically young.
"The analysis of a rock sample from the mountain will determine whether this is the case or whether it is a volcano connected with an old drift belt, which might mean that it is 20 million years old," the statement continues.
During the expedition multi-laser measurements were made between West Iceland and Greenland to map the shape of the ocean floor in these commonly-used fishing grounds and explore the environment of powerful ocean currents.
A total of 9,000 square kilometers were covered during the 11-day expedition.

Aussie rock greats join Townsville line-up
By Supercars.com
ARIA Hall of Fame inductees the Hoodoo Gurus and Australian rock legends Baby Animals will perform at the 10th anniversary Supercars event in Townsville.
Baby Animals lead singer Suze DeMarchi visited Townsville today to make the announcement alongside leading drivers Shane van Gisbergen, Scott McLaughlin and James Courtney.
Watpac Townsville 400 | Tickets | Info
Playing on Friday night of the July 6-8 event, the concert will be followed by performances from Aussie rock legends John Farnham and Daryl Braithwaite on the Saturday night.
The Hoodoo Gurus were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2007 following 25 years of success at home and abroad. They've sold over 500,000 albums since their debut in 1981.
The Baby Animals have been one of Australia's most popular rock bands since forming in 1989.
Their debut album was a multi-platinum No.1 smash, leading to three ARIA Awards and global tours with Van Halen, Bryan Adams and the Black Crowes.
Supercars Chief Executive Sean Seamer says today's major announcements add to what is already a huge line up of entertainment on and off track at this year's Watpac Townsville 400.
This year the Touring Car Masters joins the support racing bill for the first time, as well as new category the ECB SuperUtes Series, which was launched in Townsville last year.
"We expect these two nights of all Aussie entertainment to pack the big top at Reid Park along with the strongest on-track line-ups in the events history including the much-loved Aussie grunt of the Touring Car Masters," Seamer said.
"These acts among the biggest names in Australian music history. To have them on stage at across two massive nights is great news for our fans who have helped to make the Townsville event a huge success in the past decade.
"This event has delivered more than $300 million into the economy and one million room nights in the past ten years and we anticipate more visitors to the region in July to celebrate."
Minister for Tourism Industry Development Kate Jones said the Townsville 400 is one of Queensland's must see major events.
"This year marks the 10th Anniversary of the Townsville 400 and what better way to celebrate than listening to some Aussie rock legends," Jones said.
"The stellar line up of entertainment and the Supercars action draw visitors from around Australia and world to Townsville.
"Each year more than 100,000 Supercar fans visit Townsville for this event, generating millions of dollars for the Townsville and Queensland's economy.
"Visitors to Townsville should take the opportunity to explore North Queensland where life is 'Beautiful One Day, Perfect the Next'."
Townsville Mayor Jenny Hill is thrilled that this year's event will feature a huge all Aussie entertainment line-up, including TCM, which features names such as John Bowe and Steven Johnson.
"This year we are celebrating the history of Supercars in Townsville, and what better way to do that than to have some of the most historic names in Australian motorsport on track at Reid Park for the very first time," Cr Hill said.
"To have three days of great on-track racing matched by two nights of entertainment by some of the biggest names in Australian rock will really make this year's Supercars event in Townsville one to remember.
"I hope local fans take advantage of the local resident discount and gets along and support this year's event, as it is one they won't want to miss."
The Dunlop Super2 Series and Toyota 86 Racing Series complete the support race line-up.
Tickets for the event can be purchased through Ticketek.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – A Qatari envoy has delivered $25 million to the Gaza Strip to help shore up a cease-fire between Israel and the Palestinian territory's Hamas rulers.
An official at the Qatari Gaza Reconstruction Committee said Monday that part of the money was being delivered to thousands of Gaza's neediest families, while other funds were going to U.N. infrastructure projects. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassam says that with the arrival of Qatari mediator Mohammed al-Emadi, "a broader phase of understandings to break the siege will be implemented."
Al-Emadi regularly visits Gaza to implement indirect understandings between Israel and Hamas.
The enemies engaged in intense fighting in May, the latest in a series of flare-ups in recent months.

Head of Russia 'peacekeeping' mission in Kazakhstan is same general who led operations in Ukraine, Syria
January 8, 2022 at 5:24 pm | Published in: Asia & Americas, Europe & Russia, Kazakhstan, Middle East, News, Russia, Syria

The military general who Russia has appointed to lead its "peacekeeping mission" in Kazakhstan is the same man who headed Moscow's operations in Crimea and Syria over the past decade, increasing fears that the situation in the country could take the same course as the other countries in which Russian forces are present.
On Wednesday, following widespread and intense protests in the Kazakh city of Almaty over an increase in fuel prices, a state of emergency was declared and the government resigned.
The security situation continued to deteriorate after clashes took place between government forces and armed protestors, and were further incensed when President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev gave security forces were given "shoot to kill" orders to supress the "terrorists".
Tokayev requested Russia to send forces to assist him to quell the protests and enforce security, resulting in around 3,000 Russian troops being sent to the Kazakhstan, as well as almost a thousand more from other states such as Belarus, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Armenia.
The intervening troops were deployed under the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), otherwise known unofficially as the "Russian NATO" which consists of former Soviet states.

It has now been revealed that the CSTO forces are being led by the Russian General Andrei Serdyukov, who was also in charge of Russia's military missions in other countries where Moscow has intervened, including the invasion and annexation of Crimea in Ukraine in 2014 and the maintenance of Russian forces in Syria in 2019.
According to the Russian news agency Interfax, the appointment of Serdyukov was announced yesterday by the Ministry of Defence's spokesman Igor Konashenkov, who said that all of the deployed Russian brigades and divisions "have undergone special training and have real combat experience."
"The Russian military personnel who arrived in the Republic of Kazakhstan immediately began to fulfil the assigned tasks." Konashenko added that Russian forces and Kazakh law enforcement have taken control of Almaty's international airport and other important sites such as the Russian consulate.
The appointment of Serdyukov has exacerbated existing concerns amongst many that the Kazakh government's brutal crackdown on protestors and some of the protestors' taking up of arms could lead to a civil war and instability that has been experienced in Syria and Libya over the past decade.

So I'm going to be washing the aluminum frame and the rafters/cross beam has mold. It's above the pool and customer not too worried about overspill as it will obviously occur. Will sh damage screens? & do aluminum and sh mix? I've read multiple threads about vinyl housewash w aluminum trim and so and so doin the moonwalk away. I've done a few vinyl houses w aluminum trim and haven't had any issues. Obviously I'll keep significant pressure from blasting a hole in the screen. More inquiring about screen damage and aluminum damage w SH. Otherwise I'd probably just do a quick wet brush of all the frame and just rinse stricktly water only as it's not really that bad.
Ask @florida_condo_cleani or one of the othe Fl guys. they wash these every day.
I downstreamed 5 of these last week. Black and white metal cages, color doesn't matter. Some screens down here even start to turn green. I add a decent amount of surfactant and downstream straight 12.5% and spray entire thing. Never had any problems. Low pressure to apply. Just be careful rinsing and getting too close you'll rip screen. They are time consuming and it takes a couple of them to learn how not to get soaked while doing them.
Not sure if you Cleaning the deck but if your are DO NOT use high pressure. House wash and a low pressure rince usually works. If not use roof mix and low pressure rince . Most decks or either painted/ stained or pavers. High pressure will strip the paint . Rince the deck really well when done since most people are barefoot In lanais and you don't want a slip and fall.
Lol I would never ask the customer to move anything. Just bring the coushions in if you want them to stay dry. We tell them if you want to leave the furniture out we'll clean it at the same time.
The a $99 screen room for us and only takes about 20 minutes for the cage and deck.
what's happening forum?!? This is turning out better than I thought. Didn't use surfactant at all. Didn't want the pool to turn into a bubble spa. And it wasn't so bad after all. The screen is in great shape as I blasted it unintentionally and it didn't harm it. Concrete pool deck. Not painted so SC did the job. Thanks Florida condo clean & racer for the insight.
The screen is in great shape as I blasted it unintentionally and it didn't harm it.
We clean the screens also, inside and out. Obviously the top ones can only be cleaned from the inside though.

GILBERT PAT
Gilbert Pat was born in November 1945 in Sardis BC, located in Sto:lo territory of the Fraser Valley. Pat was educated in Mission, but relocated to the 'Namgis village of 'Yalis (Alert Bay) as a young man, where he married Francis Shaughnessy. During his time in Alert Bay, Pat was inspired and mentored by well-known carver Lloyd Wadhams Sr of Kingcome Inlet.
Pat developed his own geometric interpretation of coastal form line, and produces clean, consistent, quality pieces of jewellery for an affordable price.
Our most popular of Pat's work includes some delicate horizontal bar pieces that are punched on either end, to be suspended from a link chain.  Pat has also designed some gorgeous vertical pendants with the top bent back, rather than having jump hoops to suspend them on chain.  Feminine, delicate and shiny, with meaningful motifs, make these wonderful gifts.
His two sons Jason and Jeff are also proficient jewelers who have been deeply influenced by Pat's style
Hummingbird Bangle by Gilbert Pat
C$170.00Price
MOTIF DESCRIPTION
Exclusive to the Western Hemisphere, Hummingbird is an agile feminine bird known for grace, beauty, love and joy. Hummingbirds can hover in the air without seeming to fly, but have swift movement and are quick to respond to danger. Hummingbirds are affiliated with emotional healing, and are seen as a good omen if one appears during a time of strife or sorrow. Fragile and sensitive to her surroundings, Hummingbirds are a reminder of the delicate nature of life.
Hummingbirds are generally depicted with tiny, fragile bodies, long slender beaks, and either a single or cluster of flowers. Hummingbird is sometimes illustrated with curled appendages similar to that of Thunderbird, though more delicate. That said, it is impossible to mistake Hummingbird for Thunderbird, due to the obvious differences between their beaks.

Q: EC2 Instance Cloning Is it possible to clone a EC2 instance data and all?

A: To Answer your question: now AWS make cloning real easy see Launch instance from your Existing Instance

*

*On the EC2 Instances page, select the instance you want to use

*Choose Actions --> Image and Templates, and then Launch More Like This.

*Review & Launch
This will take the existing instance as a Template for the new once.
or you can also take a snapshot of the existing volume and use the snapshot with the AMI (existing one) which you ping during your instance launch

A: Nowadays it is even easier to clone the machine with EBS-backed instances released a while ago. This is how we do it in BitNami Cloud Hosting.
Basically you just take a snapshot of the instance which can be used
later to launch a new server. You can do it either using AWS console
(saving the EBS-backed instance as AWS AMI) or using the EC2 API
tools:

*

*create a snapshot with ec2-create-snapshot

*and then launch an instance from a snapshot
Cloning the instance is nothing else but creating the backup and then
launching a new server based on that. You can find bunch of articles
out there describing this problem, try to find the info about "how to
..." backup or resize the whole EC2 instance, for example this blog is
a really good place to start: alestic.com

A: You can make an AMI of an existing instance, and then launch other instances using that AMI.

A: The easier way is through the web management console:

*

*go to the instance

*select the instance and click on instance action

*create image

Once you have an image you can launch another cloned instance, data and all. :)

A: There is no explicit Clone button. Basically what you do is create an image, or snapshot of an existing EC2 instance, and then spin up a new instance using that snapshot.
First create an image from an existing EC2 instance.

Check your snapshots list to see if the process is completed. This usually takes around 20 minutes depending on how large your instance drive is.

Then, you need to create a new instance and use that image as the AMI.

A: You can use AWS API or console UI to create an AMI(Amazon Machine Image) of your running instance. You can specify to reboot the instance when create your AMI. Then you can use AWS API or console UI to launch more instances with the AMI you created.

A: You can do it very easily with a Cloud Management software -like enStratus, RightScale or Scalr (disclaimer: I work there). With the cloned farm you can:

*

*Create a snapshot or a pre-made image to launch another day

*Duplicate your configuration to test it before production

At 327 m in length and weighing in with a gross tonnage of 156,539 tonnes, the Varada Blessing VLCC is believed to be the largest single entity ever bought on the Chinese online portal Taobao.
The 1993-built ship has been languishing in the Pearl River Delta for many months after its owner, Singapore-based Varada One was hit an admiralty dispute. Guangzhou Maritime Court's previous two efforts last year to auction the tanker off via Taobao failed to notch up the necessary reserve price. An outfit from Malta called Natalia Shipping finally lodged a winning bid this week and will take the supertanker for RMB81m ($11.78m). Splash understands the ship will be scrapped. Vessel traffic monitoring service MarineTraffic shows the 300,000 dwt ship is still at anchor at the mouth of the Pearl River between Macau and Hong Kong.
Splash reported earlier this week how five vessels belonging to bust Wenzhou Shipping were also sold on Taobao for $22m. Even some newbuild resales are now being conducted on the Alibaba-owned auction site. A newbuild bulker built by Nantong Minde Heavy Industry recently fetched $14m.

Information Bureau in Gaza: 557 Israeli Violations Against Journalists
December 11, 2019 5:18 AM IMEMC & Agencies Gaza Strip, Human rights, News Report, West Bank 0
The Government Information Bureau in Gaza announced, on Tuesday, that this year was the second-worst year for journalism in Palestine, with 557 Israeli violations against journalists, according to Quds News Network.
The spokesperson for the bureau, Salama Ma'arouf, said in a press conference that 2019 has been the second-worst year for journalism in Palestine, after 2018 in terms of the quantity and types of violations.
The bureau stated that 87 journalists were reportedly attacked and 21 were shot with live bullets, in Gaza, while 67 other journalists were attacked in the occupied West Bank during 2019.
The Information Bureau added that May of 2018 saw the highest number of Israeli violations against journalists and media institutions, which were covering marches and demonstrations organized throughout Palestine remembering the Palestinian Nakba or catastrophe, of 1948.
During the May, 2018 marches, Israeli forces caused 33 journalists to suffocate from tear-gas, caused 9 to suffer from burns, or fractures, and shot 24 journalists with rubber-coated metal bullets.
The bureau confirmed that in 2019, 100 journalists were arrested over social media posts. 18 journalists are still held in Israeli jails while 30 more were subject to torture and blackmail. It added that Israeli forces imposed excessive fines on media personnel.
It was also reported that the Israelis carried out approximately 30 raids into media institutions, journalists' houses, cultural offices, and printing presses, in most cases, confiscating and/or damaging equipment.
The bureau also has documented 27 travel bans and equipment confiscation cases, which aimed to prevent journalists from performing their job, exposing Israeli actions.

Why 5G network is better than 4G?
By TechTubely NewsDesk
First the basics: The "G" here stands for generation, meaning 5G falls in line with the current gen of net coverage and speed. Long before 5G was proposed to the world we had the 2G and 3G networks which were considered the be all and end all of fast networks that allowed streaming of MP3, MP4 files alongside surfing the web, download videos, etc.
But, with the introduction of 4G technology internet saw a turnabout. Not only was it faster than it's predecessors one could now stream TV shows, avail HD sets, watch and download videos online all this without facing buffering lags. But, as the generation evolves so do their needs and technological advancements are thus the by-product. 5G network was first introduced by iPhone 12 as an one man army of speed, reliability and a smooth internet experience. With it's availability to the masses it slowly paving it's path towards a nation wide spread. With Samsung Galaxy phones being next in line to offer 5G services. The question that one needs to pose here is should 4G users now switch on to 5G data carriers? Will 5G sustain the gigabit speed? Or will it be able to change the speed game for real?
For a better estimate over it's relevance let's outline it's functionality with a direct comparison to 4G technology. When it comes to internet surfing the ideal metric for evaluation of its strength, quality and value is it's connectivity. Other factors such as travel speed, population density can decide whether the device can connect to the network. Experts, however, have stated that 5G networks can challenge speed and range issues with it's high bandwidth security and greater load capacity.
Although, wireless communication has technological standpoints. 5G is still regarded as a significant achievement. 4G LTE(long term evolution) on the other hand has undeniably created much flexibility with improved spectrum efficiency and lower latency. With 4G phones became computers. Now with 5G's ultra wide band network, it proves to be a monumental breakthrough that is gearing up to replace 4G LTE.
Let's take a closer look at 5G's functionality; 5G operates across 3 spectrum bands. The 3 bands forge a flexible connection that is adaptable to user's network and connectivity. The lowband can penetrate hard surface and cover large areas. Midband spectrum offers less penetration but high peak speed and High spectrum band offers fast connection at a short distance. Although, one has to make a note that physical barriers stand as a pitfall for HSB.
Thus, the key difference between 4G and 5G is it's improved connectivity, greater speed transition, network slicing and remote execution. Investing in 5G routers can be a prudent move as it can easily power up home devices with ultra low latency. It can also extend it's services to other sectors such as healthcare, public safety, etc. It definitely has the capacity to overshadow 4G. Although, 5G seems to have made a buzz, the expected switch from 4G to 5G is expected to be rather slow.

Q: Renaming columns based on condition about other columns (Rstudio) When I upload my xlsx dataset the columns like that :

It becomes like that in R :

Thus I want to replace the X... pattern with the name of the column just before and add a IR at the end
I have this for now :
data9_1 %>%
   rename_at(vars(starts_with("X")), ~ str_c(.,"IR"))

But I don't know how to place the condition with the column before ?
thank you

A: A base R approach to achieve your desired result may look like so:
data9_1 <- data.frame(
  A = 1, X18 = 2, B = 3, X19 = 4
)

to_rename <- grep("^X", names(data9_1))
names(data9_1)[to_rename] <- paste0(names(data9_1)[to_rename - 1], "IR")

data9_1
#>   A AIR B BIR
#> 1 1   2 3   4

The North Cypress Non-Motorized Trail is a 3.3-mile loop hiking and horse trail around the North Cypress Lake Area in Holly Springs National Forest, Mississippi. The loop consists of a combination of hiking trails and old forest roads that traverse through a mix of pine and hardwood forest typical of northern Mississippi. There are a few small hills on the loop, but total elevation gain is only 285 feet, and in general the trail is quite easy.
Two small bridges cross mostly dry streams, but by far the most interesting part of the trail is where it crosses the dam that impounds North Cypress Lake. In general, this area appears to get very little use, especially in November. North Cypress Lake is near the larger and more popular Puskus Lake, also in Holly Springs National Forest.
See my AllTrails track for detailed route information.
I also have another post from when I hiked this trail in January 2017.


Fascinated by design, technology and geography from an early age, Keith studied at the University of Greenwich for his degree and diploma in architecture.

Arguably in Battlefront II will they cover 30 years of space between the return of the Jedi and the awakening force.
The sauce of the game will be on multiplayer that will allow us to face up to 40 players in scenarios that will cover all the mythology of films. EA promises a variety of aerial and ground vehicles in this second installment of Battlefront. That Yes, it limits the number of players to 24 in space fighting modes.
The multiplayer will include a co-op mode that can be enjoyed in PS4 and One split screen. In this mode we will face hordes of AI-driven enemies in scenarios from different eras. I hope it is something more varied and fun than that is included in the first Battlefront.
Luke, King, Yoda, Kylo Ren and Darth Maul are the first heroes confirmed for this Star Wars game. We guerrearemos in scenarios such as Starkiller, Endor, Hoth or Mos Eisley, among other renowned environments in the Galactic saga of Lucas.
Battlefront II won't have season pass. A decision that has been taken to avoid the community fall apart. Unknown expansion plans that will include the game, but will not be through a season pass. Bet by micro transactions.
