Q: awk matches regex characters it shouldn't My awk program does some odd character matching. Could you please explain what's going on or point me to relevant documentation.
Input file
| 29900 | St. James | ...
| 33010 | Boole / Kirk | ...

awk
awk '/\| ([0-9]{5}) \| ([^\|]*)/{print $2 $4}' input-file.txt

Result
29900St.
33010Boole

*

*Why is the first capturing group $1 the leading |? Usually $0 is the entire match and $1 is the first group.

*Why does ([^\|]*) stop at . and / instead of reading on? I basically tell it "all characters that are not |" after all.

A: By default, awk separates columns by whitespace, so for the record
| 29900 | St. James | ...

we have $1="|", $2="29900", $3="|", $4="St.", $5="James", $6="|" and $7="..."
Additionally, unlike Perl, awk does not store the contents of capturing parentheses anywhere (gawk does though)
Seeing as you want to use pipes as separators, I'd suggest:
awk -F '[[:blank:]]*\\|[[:blank:]]*' -v OFS=, '$2 ~ /[0-9]{5}/ {print $2,$3}'

29900,St. James
33010,Boole / Kirk

If you're confused about seeing $2 and $3 in there instead of $1 and $2, consider that a field separator, by definition, separates two fields and must have a field before it and after it. The first field separator shows up at the beginning of each line, therefore there must be a field consisting of an empty string before it: $1 will be the empty string.

A: awk doesn't provide a way to access capture groups, it uses $<number> to access fields of the input file. It looks like you could do:
awk -F' *\| *' '{print $2 $3;}' input-file.txt


and developed an expertise around.
Many prominent collectors acquire art with a theme and this is something which we can help with. Over a period of time working with a collector we can discuss a brief and a budget to work for searching for the sort of works which fit nicely into the desired location and at the price which the buyer is willing to pay. These works might come from our Dealing stock or from a variety of other sources such as other specialist dealers, auctions and overseas galleries.
may well know someone who has it - and at the right price too.
in the desired time span and at the right price.

Microsoft Flight Simulator has arrived on Xbox One
The Flight Simulator has been added to the cloud after Microsoft upgraded its Xbox Series X hardware.
By Poulomi Chatterjee
Microsoft announced that Flight Simulator has finally launched on Xbox One Cloud Gaming. Microsoft's cloud platform allows subscribers to stream Xbox games on a range of devices like Xbox One. Microsoft Flight Simulator initially launched on PC in 2020 and then arrived on Xbox Series X/S consoles after a few months. Microsoft has made the announcement as a part of its first batch of Game Pass additions.
The Flight Simulator has been added to the cloud after Microsoft upgraded its Xbox Series X hardware. The hardware now offers 1080p and bandwidth of 60fps across the service. The game's multiplayer feature remains the same, so multiple gamers can play it on PC, Xbox and cloud. Microsoft has also added Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy and Young Souls to Xbox Game Pass starting from March 10.
Microsoft Flight Simulator needs storage of nearly 100 GB, but all Game Pass subscribers can stream the game on devices that support Xbox Cloud Gaming like phones, tablets, PCs and Series X/S.
Microsoft has also updated the Xbox PC app with new features. PC gamers can now install games in custom folders. Prior to this, gamers could only choose between drives. The upgrade also supports open-file access, which allows gamers to install mods. Also, game installations can be repaired and moved instead of gamers having to reinstall.

More bollocks
Irrigated land has increased by 100% in only 15 years, mainly to enable dairy farming in areas too dry to otherwise grow grass. Irrigation is now the single biggest water user in New Zealand, accounting for nearly half of all water taken out of the ecosystem.
You don't take water out of an ecosystem. Because there's something called the water cycle. Might be that the water runs through one bit then into another, might be that it's recycled through that system called clouds. But you never do abstract it from the ecosystem.

Now now. You might not he able to take water out of the global ecosystem but you can take it out of your local ecosystem otherwise desertification would not be a thing.
Pumping up water that's been down there since the glaciers melted and using it to grow cucumbers for export not sustainable.
Taking so much water out of rivers that their mouths become mosquito ridden swamps also not a good idea.

Steve April 17, 2020 at 9:25 am
Yeah, what Roue said
It's possible to drain the local water table faster than it can recharge, it's a potentially bigly yuge problem in the American Midwest, some areas already starting to see drier conditions and alarmingly low aquifer levels.
The good thing about this tho, is it's a fairly slow-moving disaster, so that gives farmers plenty of time to adapt, and geology and agricultural science have come a long way since the Dust Bowl.

"at least 1,257 hectares of wetlands were destroyed between 2001 and 2016 to expand "productive" land into areas otherwise too wet."
1257 hectares is 12 ¹/² km². New Zealand covers 268,021 km². Wow! Just wow! Crisis!

New Zealand is two small islands surrounded by water. Modern desalination plants have been around since the 1930's. The Kiwis can easily produce as much water as they want.
dearieme April 17, 2020 at 10:21 am
Yeah, they now farm cattle on the Canterbury Plains whereas before it was strictly sheep. I suppose that means that the market for butter is better than the market for wool.
When a Kiwi complained to me that there was a risk of a water shortage for households I said that as long as you meter the water and charge sensible prices to farmers and households it would be all right.
He thought the idea of metering water for households was preposterous.
That was fifteen years ago: I don't know how they charge now.
@Bogan boy: they have rain and snow and glaciers and everything.
Here you are: an attack on the NZ way of life. People can be comical.

Nessimmersion April 17, 2020 at 11:34 am
Metering:
Depends if what you are going to charge for is going to run out.
Scotland / NW England/ Norway/ New Zealand – most of the time its not scarcity of water that's the problem, it's not getting in its way too much.
Assume 3 million households for Scotland, cost of installing water meters is at least £200 each, so is that £600 million value for money or could it be better spent elsewhere / left in people's pockets?
Dave Ward April 17, 2020 at 12:04 pm
Since NZ has practically isolated itself from the rest of the world – to avoid CV, then (presumably?) their agriculture sector isn't going to have such ready access to export markets for some time. This might reduce the need for irrigation…
Gamecock April 17, 2020 at 12:10 pm
Metering and charging is the only way to manage consumption.
That first presumes you need to manage consumption.
There was an issue here a few years ago where someone wanted to make a giant potato farm. The whackos complained they were going to take a gazillion gallons of water a day out of the local river. That it would flow back into the river never registered on the whackos.
MyBurningEars April 17, 2020 at 12:27 pm
@GC
It's not true that water abstracted from a river for farming all flows back to the river, it's more complicated than that. Hopefully @Jim will be able to explain more but arable farmers I've talked to have always been surprisingly excited by the topic of abstraction rights!
(The obvious things are that if you use the water on your field then plenty of it will evaporate rather than go back to the river, and also there are restrictions on what's allowed to run-off e.g. you don't want lots of fertiliser flowing into the river. But there's more to it than this and fingers crossed the resident expert will be along shortly…)

@ BiS – "What? They push the pause button on the plants?"
I walked into that one, didn't I! My thinking was that, faced with their export markets blocked, and the potential of crops just rotting, there is little point on spending money watering and fertilising them…
Diogenes April 17, 2020 at 3:48 pm
"You don't take water out of an ecosystem"
You might want to look round Southern Spain. The Guadiana river is almost dry in some places most years and, unless your definition of ecosystem is planetary, it is not raining down to compensate in anywhere local
Ummmm April 17, 2020 at 6:49 pm
@Andrew C
You may be joking but there's plenty of activists trying to link climate and racism saying we are hurting BAME populations or areas more
Chester Draws April 17, 2020 at 8:28 pm
The problem in NZ is really the run-off, especially from dairy. The urine generates nitrogen pollutants (plus phosphates from fertiliser). It kills the rivers.
Water itself is no problem. The relevant bits that are being irrigated are fed by mountains that see a lot of water. It's not coming from depleting aquifers, and it's not in the bits which get long droughts. We're talking lush land made lusher.
Fiordland gets comical amounts of rain. Seven metres a year! But it's too rocky to farm, so we just dam it.
"The Colorado River flows into the Gulf of California."
False. By the time it gets to Yuma, it has been sucked dry. A little is canalized and sent into Mexico, but the river bed is dry.
The U.S. does. Mexico's riparian rights be damned.

If you have any questions about rules applying specifically to the Tower map, ask them here.
Are there official rules for moving from window to window around the outside of the tower?
If I recall correctly, you need the Climb skill and spend 2 movement points to move one floor up or down, from window to window.
Right, I understand that for up and down, from level 2 to level 3 for example. The up and down rules are laid out in each scenario.
I meant from a window on a level to another window on the same level. Sorry I wasn't more clear.
I see. There are no official rules for that. I guess it would be a bit messy to have the heroes ending their movement outside the tower.
We need a reference pdf of all LOS for all maps in this format.

PIERO FORNASETTI POP ART EYEBALL PAPERWEIGHT
A wonderfully surrealistic ceramic paperweight in the form of an eyeball, created in the late 1960s by Piero Fornasetti.
PIERO FORNASETTI was born in Milan in 1913 and, from an early age, he started to draw. Much to his accountant father's displeasure, he yearned to be an artist. in 1932, Piero enrolled at the Accademia di Brera, but was expelled two years later for insubordination. He later enrolled in the Scuola Superiore of Arts Applied to Industry at Castello Sforzesco, also in Milan. Irremediably rebellious, he was unable to adhere to the dogma of any school. Endlessly curious, he spent his days reading magazines and books on arts and science, and continued to study; appropriating information and constantly expanding the horizons of his knowledge. He taught himself lithography and etching.
In 1933 he exhibited his first artwork at the University of Milan and produced a series of printed silk scarves that caught the eye of architect and designer Gio Ponti. The two men collaborated on various projects and combined Ponti's signature angular forms with Fornasetti's witty and whimsical motifs.
Fornasetti's success reached its peak in the 1950s and, during this period, the artist created his Themes & Variations series, a collection of plates featuring his muse, the fin de siècle opera singer Lina Cavalieri, whose face he spotted in a magazine. He started painting her in 1952 and never stopped, creating a series of more than 350 pieces.
By the 1970s, popularity for Fornasetti's bold patterns had waned and the company was struggling financially, but in 1984 Liliane Fawcett and Giuliana Medda opened a gallery located in London's Notting Hill called 'Themes and Variations' where the pair sell 20th century decorative items., and specialize in objects from the Italian avant-garde movement of the late 60's, and especially the works of Piero Fornasetti. They have been credited with almost single handedly accelerating the revival of his designs. This also revived interest in his work overseas, where he was already widely known. As Fornasetti's oeuvre began to be rediscovered, Piero collaborated with Patrick Mauriés on the first monograph on his work, accompanied by an introduction by Ettore Sottsass. Sadly, the book was published posthumously. Fornasetti died in 1988, having produced more than 13,000 designs over a 50 year period. Fornasetti's brilliant mind has inspired numerous designers over the decades, from Philippe Starck to Sue Timney. His son, Barnaba, continues the atelier today, with limited-edition pieces and a range of home accessories using archive designs.

Facebook was summoned to Capitol Hill this week to spar with U.S. lawmakers over the ongoing Russian propaganda controversy. Many senators and representatives asked tough questions about the company's actions (or lack thereof) during the 2016 presidential election, and several — including Senator Mark Warner —have grown frustrated by the site's obfuscation. That led Warner and Senator Amy Klobuchar to create a fake political Facebook page with a phony ad campaign to prove just how easy it is to get around Facebook's ad rules.
The two senators created a Facebook page for a nonexistent organization called "Americans for Disclosure Solutions." They then bought $40 in ads for the page to target journalists and Hill staffers. The results were staggering — according to Warner's office, the ads reached 1,369 staffers and 1,407 journalists.
While the number of people an ad "reaches" on Facebook is different than the number of people who see it, the point of this test is still a sharp one. It was so easy for the senators to create a fake, they only spent $40, and there was no process to verify who they were. It's no wonder then that the platform has been infiltrated by bad actors.

I would like to generate a list of all the emails of customers to whom I have shipped, or who have purchased our products. I have not been able to locate a method to do that. Does a method exist?
ShipRush doesn't keep a list of emails.
The only list or report you could generate is the standard report in ShipRush. Right click the icon and go to View Shipments. Set your date range and then you can click the Report button. That will generate a report of all shipments.
You'd probably have an easier time generating a report in your contact manager or accounting software, since that should have information about items you've sold.
Just go into the View Shipments area, open up the date range, then press the Report button.
That excel file should then have everything you need.

$60,000 in wild irises disappeared from Coast highway. Here's why. - Sun Herald
Stephenson called the mayor Friday after receiving complaints about the flowers being mowed down. He said he plans to speak to the Bay Saint Louis, Waveland and Hancock County beautification departments to find volunteers to maintain the plants. Bay resident Kathleen Johnson said she was "flabbergasted" to see the flowers gone. She said she has enjoyed looking at them as she drives along the highway. "I've been interested in highway beautification since Lady Bird Johnson made it her pet project," Johnson said of the former First Lady, who made highway beautification her pet project in the 1960s. Former Councilman Lonnie Falgout, in a Facebook post, said the Wild Iris Project planting was completed while he represented Ward 6. His term ended in 2017. "Inexcusable for them to be cut down," wrote Falgout. A beautification committee led by Katharine Truett Ohman obtained the rhizomes from two groups that grow Louisiana irises, which have conservation benefits. "Conservation landscaping allows potential pollutants from water runoff to be taken up by plants, preventing them from entering the water cycle or running into the Gulf of Mexico," Stephenson said. The irises were provided in 2015 by the Louisiana Iris Gardens in Tully, New York, and Bois d'Arc Gardens of Schriever, Louisiana. They were planted in 15-foot by 36-foot areas of the highway in medians north and south of Bayou LaCroix. Students from CLIMB CDC in Gulfport and AmeriCorps in Waveland were working in the flower beds on Thursday.

Followed by a reboot of my Lenovo IdeaPad A1 android tab, the time zone of the gadget got changed to an incorrect one. By which option on the handset can I change it back to the correct one as set before?
Re: By which option time zone can be corrected on Lenovo IdeaPad A1 android tab?
This is very easy and simple to do this.Follow these steps.First of all you will go to the menu in your tab.Then you will go to the settings.After that you will scroll down and click on the date and time option.Then you will click on the date & time settings option.Next you will scroll down again and click on the time zone option.Then you will correct your time zone which you want.Then the time zone will be changed in your tab.This is the procedure to do this.
Firstly navigate to the start screen of your android and then move to the menu panel.
Here you should have to locate and tap on the option denoted as settings.
At this page, you have to locate and then make a click on the date & time option.
Make sure that the automatic checkbox must have to be unmarked.
Then you must have to hit on the option named as select time zone.
Choose the specific time zone and save the changes made.
-->click the data & time option.
-->click on the time zone option.
-->now select the proper time on the box.
-->now change the time .
-->finally save the setting & solve the problem.


So for my PhD I was reading about Indigenous hospital experiences that have been shaped by racism and discrimination and the impacts it has on the body.
In a nutshell, racism and discrimination in which there are many forms causes stress affecting our mental health, our hormones, functioning of the brain and heart to name just a few things and therefore affecting the body's ability to heal itself. I mean jeepers, I knew it had mental, emotional and heck even spiritual impacts but I didn't really think about the physiological implications… until now. Now of course it makes perfect sense. While readings such as these always bring up different emotions it also leads my mind to think deeply about these issues.
I started to think about my grandparents who I was bought up by and what they had to live through and what they encountered. I look back and think of the positions many of my Indigenous colleagues and myself had held over the years. Many of us who are the Indigenous lone wolf in the likes of government, tertiary, businesses and organizations. I recall and think about all the times we have had to justify, confront, strategize to get Indigenous/Māori in the picture, to stay in the picture or to get more of the picture. Enduring comments and remarks not even about us as an individual or related to our work but about our culture and our people. I think of those sickening feelings I got before and then whilst in various meetings over the years with people in very powerful positions. These people were totally up front about disregarding anything that was different and that didn't quite fit their worldview. I remember a well renowned Professor saying to me when I put some ideas across at a meeting "I think you are quite in intelligent for a Māori". I think of the social positions and environments that we are in and feeling these same feelings. We all know the feelings, and have probably felt them all too often. I thought about Nelson Mandela and what he endured but mostly how he chose to combat racism, in a very powerful and forgiving way.
Actually the more I reflected on the many different forms of racism the deeper I delved into my own thoughts, feelings and reactions and was reminded of some of the reactive running commentary that is in my own head at times. Some of that has been verbalized sometimes profoundly and thoughtfully and at other times umm not so much. Just the other day I said to someone (filtered down version) "that is such a white thing to say". I am also more acutely aware of the various forms of racism and discrimination within the different groups I associate with. So it's not just something that is out there and done to us, we or rather I am part of the something.
How often have we been with people where the car in front pulls out and someone in the group identifies what ethnic origin the driver might be and not in a good way? Or we identify people and refer to them not so positively by race because of their dress sense, or behavior. Or this one, which is becoming more and more familiar especially when we are put in positions where we are all competing for limited resources across our various sectors… that is, the running down of another who is of the same race. Apparently called lateral racism/discrimination so someone told me. I have seen this and found that it leads to measuring how Māori we are. Comments such as "yeah but she is not a native speaker, she learned it at uni, yeah but she works for this iwi but its not her own, yeah but he doesn't speak te reo or but she is just newly Māori". Conversations I am hearing more and more around the table and have participated in myself. Therefore part of this journey is about having to look at, confront and deal with the forms of racism and discrimination that I hold.
Research does show that the buffer that helps deal with these effects is culture, family, connections and sense of identity. We need to reconnect, which may take many forms (e.g. over kai, hui, conferences, study, mahi), but also with our lands, our whānau, good people both like-minded and different but most importantly reconnecting with ourselves. Reconnection in whatever form is important so we can just be who we are, refill, restock, re-evaluate and restore. Without it we get worn down and feel we stand-alone and it's easy to get swayed or bogged down when you are around it all the time. Its hard to stand against the grain and much easier to conform but for me I am learning that conforming when it doesn't align with my values and beliefs has devastating impacts that seem to creep up when I least expect it.
The reconnecting helps me to reaffirm being part of the collective, and if like me you have issues to confront (whatever they may be) and you need some answers, it is almost guaranteed the answers come in some way, shape or form through this process. Through connecting with others, listening to people's experiences, stories, and their lessons provokes thinking, learning and questioning. How are we looking after ourselves? How are we combating racism and discrimination dealt to us or within us? How do we react to others? How can we reconnect and with whom?

I was listening to a Ted Talk by Aimee Mullins some years ago. As she spoke, I came to a horrible realisation. The realisation that a comment I made in reference to a woman with a prosthetic leg, a comment that I thought in my ignorance complimented her, was in fact discriminatory. It made me face the reality of my own innate prejudices, not just towards the disabled, but ALL of my prejudices including those towards Māori. Your post rings so very true for me, as does your recommendation to reconnect and reaffirm. Thanks for sharing.

Q: infinite set don't contain sigma algebra that have more than one countable complement I have a question regarding the complements of two disjoint set in a sigma algebra on an infinite set say $X$.
Basically this questions comes to my mind when I was trying to show the following:
Given $X$ an infinite set, and some collections of sets of $X$ say denoted as $M$ that satisfies the condition that for each $A \in M$, either $A$ is countable of $A^{c}$ is countable. The set that satisfies the condition can be shown to be a set of sigma algebra, i.e. $M$ is a sigma-algebra. Prove that the function defined below is finitely additive, but not countably additive:
$\mu(A) = 0$ if $A$ is countable , $\mu(A) = 1$ if $A^{c}$ is countable.
My attempt to show that it is not countably additive is because:
we have $X = \bigcup_{i=1} \{a_i\}$ where $\{a_i\}$ is an element in $X$ because of course $X$ can be written as union of each of its element even if $X$ is an infinite set.
Then I have $\mu(X) = 1$ because the complement of $X$ is the $\emptyset$, i.e. $X^{c} = \emptyset$. Since $\emptyset$ has nothing it in, so it is countable, and hence $\mu(X)=1$. But $\mu(\{a\}) = 0$ for each $\{a\}$ since the set $\{a\}$ is countable as it is a singleton. So $\sum_{i=1}^{\infty} \mu(\{a_i \})=0 \ne 1 = \mu(X)$. And hence it is not countably additive.
Is the above proof correct? could someone comment?
For the finitely additive part, basically I was able to show that in the sigma algebra $M$, given $A_i$ disjoint, i.e. $A_i \cap A_j =\emptyset$, there cannot exist two disjoint sets say $A_i$ and $A_j$ with $A_i^{c}$ being countable and $A_i^{c}$ being countable at the same time. i.e. say given $A_i$ is an infinite subset of $M$, so $A_i^{c}$ is countable, then there is no another set say $A_j$ in $M$ disjoint from $A_i$ that satisfies the above property, and because of this reason, finitely additive holds for the above function.
So here are my two questions:
1) My question is whether my proof on the Countable-additive part correct? (i.e. did I show that countably-additive DO NOT hold correctly?)
2) Given an infinite set say X=[0,1]. A sigma algebra I can think of is
$M = \{\{\}, [0,1], \{0.3,0.5\}, \{[0,0.3) \cup (0.3,0.5) \cup (0.5,1]\} \}$,
so say $A_1 =[0,1]$ and hence $A_1^{c} =\emptyset$, it seems it is true that there is no anther subset of $X$ that is disjoint from $A_1$ and have the complement being countable. But is it true that the set that satisfies the condition i.e. $A_i$ is uncountable, but $A_i^{c}$ is countable will always  be the set $X$? i.e. in my example here, $A_1 = X$ because as we know a sigma algebra MUST always contain the set $X$ and the emptyset $\emptyset$, so if $X$ is itself infinite, then it always takes up a set $A_i$ in the sigma algebra $M$ that satisfies the above particular condition (i.e. $A$ is countable or $A^{c}$ is countable).
Could someone comment whether my proof on the Countable-additivity part is correct? and also comment on my Question 2?
Thank you

A: $X$ must be uncountably infinite to make $\mu$ well-defined (see my comment on your question) and in the sequel it is preassumed that $X$ is uncountably infinite.
Let  $A_1,A_2,\dots\in\mathcal M$ be disjoint. We intend to prove the following statement: $$\mu(\bigcup_{n=1}^{\infty}A_n)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\mu(A_n)\tag1$$
If all $A_i$ are countable then so is their union so in that case LHS and RHS of $(1)$ both take value $0$.
Now assume that e.g. $A_1$ is not countable.
Then $A_1\in\mathcal M$ implies that $A_1^c$ is countable.
Then also its subsets $(\bigcup_{n=1}^{\infty}A_n)^{\complement}, A_2,A_3,A_4,\dots$ are countable,
Then LHS and RHS of $(1)$ both will equal $1$.
We conclude that $\mu$ is countably additive and consequently that it is finitely additive.

AFL Round 22 2012 Season – Game Preview
23Aug2012 Roverauthor0comments
Welcome to The Profits round 22 analysis with Drew and Euan. We are coming into the business end of the year and there are normally some juicy odds on offer with certain teams giving up and resting players. We love to hear your feedback and thoughts so tweet @TheProfitsComAu and we will comment/retweet! Good luck and happy punting!
You can find Full teams from the AFL website here – www.afl.com.au
You can find an up to date Injury List here – http://www.injuryupdate.com.au/afl-injury-list.php
Richmond Tigers ($1.62) vs Essendon Bombers ($2.35) – MCG, Friday, August 24, 7.50pm
Recent clashes: Essendon 19.14 (128) d Richmond 15.19 (109) round eight, 2012, at the MCG
Game preview: There is a lot hinging on this game with Essendon desperate for a win after dropping out of the top 8 last week and Richmond still fuming after the "Sandigatelands" affair in the match against Fremantle last week. It's not a sure thing that the Bombers can actually win this game and the tip is against them.
Tigers by 22
Line: Tigers -9.5
St Kilda Saints ($1.02) vs Greater Western Sydney Giants ($15.00) – Etihad Stadium, Saturday August 25, 1.45pm
Recent clashes: First meeting
Game preview: The Saints needed a bit of a break after a torrid past few weeks playing a host of top sides. The infinitesimal possibility that they can make the finals will be helped along a little with them playing the Giants. There is no suggestion that you should tip the Giants regardless of your hopeless position in the tipping competition.
Saints by 100+
Line: Saints – 80.5
Port Adelaide Power ($2.20) vs Brisbane Lions ($1.68) – AAMI Stadium, Saturday August 25, 1.40pm
Recent clashes: Brisbane Lions 15.9 (99) defeated Port Adelaide 13.10 (88), round 15, 2011 at the Gabba
Game preview: Tipsters would have to think that the Lions are on a high after their great but unexpected win against the Crows last week and that the win in that game will give them enough momentum to carry them through winning this game against Port Adelaide. While the game is being played at AAMI that factor has not been enough to consider the Power against any of the teams above them. Should they win this match it would be a big upset.
Lions by 25
Line: Lions -6.5
Sydney Swans ($2.00) vs Hawthorn Hawks ($1.82) – SCG, Saturday August 25, 4.40pm
Recent clashes: Sydney Swans 16.10 (106) d Hawthorn 10.9 (69), round five, 2012 at Aurora Stadium
Game preview: 1st plays 2nd in what should be a great game of football. The Sydney Swans have been nothing short of a revelation this season and look like the team to beat. Top ladder position is available to the Hawks if they are good enough and apart from the same sort of hiccups that the Swans suffer in occasional games they look like premiership material. Because of slight inconsistencies in big games picking the winner of this match is pretty tough.
Swans by 10
Line: Swans +2.5
West Coast Eagles ($1.72) vs Collingwood Magpies ($2.15) – Patersons Stadium, Saturday August 25, 5.40pm
Recent clashes: Collingwood 12.13 (85) defeated West Coast 12.10 (82), round 13, 2012 at the MCG
Game preview: 5th plays 4th in what is expected to be another great game of football. The Eagles just need to beat the Pies and 4th spot is theirs. Collingwood has looked a bit fragile at times and travelling to Perth to play West Coast is a difficult task for every team. Both teams are getting back players from their injury list and also both teams suffer from ineffective forward lines in crunch games! Go figure. Collingwood likes the tough games and they travel well.
Magpies by 20
Line: Magpies +4.5
Gold Coast Suns ($15.00) vs Carlton Blues ($1.02) – Metricon Stadium, Saturday August 25, 7.40pm
Recent clashes: Carlton 26.15 (171) d Gold Coast 7.10 (52), round 2, 2011, at the Gabba
Game preview: The Blues won by 95 points last week playing a team that spent significant time in the top 4. This week they play the Suns in a lay down misere result and it's a matter of picking the margin. Carlton will keep pressure on Fremantle to sneak back into the top 8 after winning this game and they have a better percentage.
Blues by 55
Line: Suns +66.5
Geelong Cats ($1.01) vs Western Bulldogs ($17.00) – Simonds Stadium, Sunday August 26, 1.10pm
Recent clashes: Geelong 14.11 (95) d Western Bulldogs 11.9 (75), round 9, 2012 at Etihad Stadium
Game preview: The Cats are playing well at the right time of the season and this game against the Western Bulldogs will help them keep that winning form going. The Bulldogs have been super disappointing this season and the best thing the management can do is blame the coach. Regardless of blame they won't win this game.
Cats by 30
Line: Bulldogs +70.5
North Melbourne Kangaroos ($1.42) vs Fremantle Dockers ($2.90) – Etihad Stadium, Sunday August 19, 3.15pm
Recent clashes: North Melbourne 21.17 (143) d Fremantle 6.9 (45), round 22, 2011 at Etihad Stadium
Game preview: Based on the positions of these teams this is an important game, more so for Fremantle than North although North is looking for a top 4 position if any of the teams above falter. Fremantle just has to win to stay in the 4 – simple arithmetic and strategy for them. A loss will cost them a finals place because of the win Carlton will have. North's footy has been irresistible over the past 9 weeks and it's hard to see them dropping this game against the Dockers. But for tipsters looking for an upset point this game is an opportunity.
Kangaroos by 32
Line: Kangaroos -17.5
Melbourne Demons ($6.75) vs Adelaide Crows ($1.11) – MCG, Sunday August 26, 4.40pm
Recent clashes: Melbourne 22.17 (149) d Adelaide 8.5 (53), round 7, 2011, at MCG
Game preview: The Demons go into this game with a win last week and Adelaide had an unexpected loss against Brisbane. The Crows were looking at a minor premiership before that result but that opportunity may have disappeared now. Still – Hawthorn wins, Sydney loses and Adelaide wins? It's still a maybe.
You would have to think the Crows will be too good for Melbourne considering the stakes and win they should but it will be closer than you think based on ladder positions.
Crows by 42
Line: Crows -39.5
BEST BET: Kangaroos -17.5 at $1.91
Collingwood +4.5 at $1.91
Sydney -5.5 at $2.30
Brisbane -6.5 at $1.91

Covering all things Australian Rules Football for The Profits. I've been a passionate supporter and follower of AFL for as long as I can remember. Having been born into a family with deep football history and tradition on both sides, you can say it runs through my blood. I've got a keen interest in the stats and analysis of the game, which helped me finish in the top 100 of fantasy competitions DreamTeam and Supercoach last year. While my own local football career was cut short due to injury at 22, it has created an opportunity for me to frequently watch and build a deep knowledge of the sport at its highest level. I look forward to sharing my thoughts and views throughout the season.

Cardano's Alonzo Upgrade Date Revealed — ADA Gains Over 16% After Announcement
August 14, 2021 3 min read gunnard
On Friday, the price of the token cardano spiked over the $2 handle nearing the crypto asset's all-time high that took place three months ago. Cardano's price jump derived from a video announcement stemming from Cardano's Nigel Hemsley when he explained the Cardano network would upgrade on September 12, 2021. The highly anticipated "Alonzo Purple" upgrade aims to boost the Cardano project with fully functional, advanced smart contract solutions.
Alonzo Upgrade Scheduled for September 12
Cardano is looking to upgrade the network in the near future, as IOHK's Nigel Hemsley revealed the project plans to launch the upgrade on September 12. In a tweet, Input Output (IOHK) also explained the upgrade will happen on the same date mentioned in the video. The name "Alonzo" derives from the mathematician and computer scientist Alonzo Church. The Alonzo implementation has been slowly upgraded by colored-coded stages with the final being purple.
"It's happening," IOHK said. "We're targeting 12 September 2021 for the 'Alonzo' upgrade, bringing smart contracts to Cardano via a hard fork combinator (HFC) event. Find out more about the journey to a new era of smart contracts, defi, and more for Cardano (ADA)." Essentially, the Cardano community believes Alonzo will usher in advanced smart contract solutions and decentralized finance (defi) protocols.
While the biggest features stemming from Alonzo will be smart contracts and defi, the upgrade aims to bolster concepts like tokenization and non-fungible token ideas. Additionally, it has been said that ERC20 tokens deriving from Ethereum will be able to be leveraged on the Cardano chain.
Cardano has been criticized for quite some time, as the community was promised fully functional, advanced smart contracts and other features. Skeptics have even bet on whether or not the Cardano network will support smart contracts by October 1, 2021. The Poly Market bet used to show the odds were against the project, but now 87% say Cardano will succeed and only 13% say it won't.
Cardano Spike 45% This Week, 1,365% Against the Dollar in 12 Months
Rumors of something special on August 13 have been buzzing about in the Cardano community all last week. While cardano (ADA) jumped more than 16% on Friday, the crypto asset is up over 45% during the last seven days. One month stats show ADA is up 61% and year-to-date, ADA has gained a whopping 1,365%.
Cardano (ADA) on August 13, 2021.
At the time of writing, ADA's largest trading pair is with tether (USDT) as the stablecoin captures 57% of cardano trades on Friday. Bitcoin (BTC) commands around 11.4% of ADA swaps, followed by USD (8.48%), BUSD (5.27%), KRW (4.86%), and EUR (3.91%). Ethereum (ETH) has around 3.48% of the swaps traded with ADA today as well.
Cardano's market cap is around $65.7 billion which is around 3.31% dominance among all 10,000+ crypto assets worth $1.9 trillion.

The Oregon agency that runs the state's foster care and welfare programs announced on Thursday afternoon that the personal information of more than 350 people in those programs might have been comprised, after a Jan. 28 data breach.
An unidentified attacker gained access to the state's records after nine employees at the Department of Human Services opened so-called "phishing" emails and clicked on a link that allowed the outside party to gain access to their state email accounts, according to a state press release.
The state did not say specifically how many Oregonians might be affected. It did say the breach involved their protected health information. Examples of the types of information that might have been compromised includes first and last names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers and case numbers.
"At this point, it involves all of our programs," agency spokesman Robert Oakes said on Tuesday afternoon. "Primarily (the Aging and People with Disabilities Program), child welfare, self-sufficiency and vocational rehabilitation." The agency is checking to see if information was compromised in the program for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, Oakes said.
In a press release, Oregon House Republican Leader Rep. Carl Wilson took the agency to task for not notifying the public sooner.
With more than 8,000 employees, the Department of Human Services is the largest state agency, with programs including foster care, food stamps and cash assistance also known as welfare.
Oregon state government has experienced several data breaches in recent years. A year ago, Oregon's tax agency revealed an employee had copied the personal information of 36,000 people. There were also security breaches at the Secretary of State's office and Employment Department in 2014 and the state data center in 2015.

Kendrick's Chances
By Amanda Orr
This post was written by Amanda Orr, making her posting debut here at Phillies Nation. Say hello to her and watch for more of her pieces in the future.
With exception of the fifth spot, the starting rotation is set with Cole Hamels, Brett Myers, Joe Blanton and Jamie Moyer. The competition for the fifth spot is wide open, and any one can win it during spring training.
In mid 2007, Freddy Garcia was placed on the disabled list and Kyle Kendrick was called up from Double-A Reading. What was supposed to be nothing but a cup of coffee, Kendrick pitched 6 innings allowing 3 earned runs against the Chicago White Sox, earning another oppurtunity. Kendrick shocked us all, posting a 10-4 record with a 3.87 ERA in addition to his poise and confidence on the mound. He was able to avoid the big inning by escaping jams with runners on base.
Kendrick's spot in the rotation was safe entering the spring of 2008. Kendrick, known for his gullibility, was the center of a practical joke, thinking he was traded to Japan. During the season, he struggled with a 5.49 ERA and 1.61 WHIP. Kendrick was unable to hold runners he held a season before. In result, Kendrick was left off the postseason roster.
"I just didn't pitch very well," Kendrick told the Daily News. "People say I was tired, but it really started becoming a mental thing. I got tired mentally, and then it just snowballed from there."
Not satisfied with his performance last season, Kendrick has already reported to Clearwater.
"I've got something to prove this year," Kendrick said.
Kendrick typically is a contact pitcher, relying on the defense behind him. He needs to focus on keeping the ball down in the strike zone. Kendrick needs to improve his changeup to accompany his slider in order to be more successful. From improving those pitches, Kendrick's strikeout totals could rise, helping him dramatically.
The mental part of baseball is just as important as the physical. Kendrick must get his mental state of game back, much like Myers did last season after he was demoted. Ending on the note he did last season, recovering the poise and confidence he had in 2007 will not be easily for Kyle, but he has shown in the past he can be mentally tough.
He said it himself; he has a lot to prove. He must prove this spring that 2008 was nothing more than a sophomore slump and a fluke.

Toddler's arm was ripped off by 'wolf dog' at Grandma's animal sanctuary.
On Friday, the Department of Natural Resources of Michigan confiscated several animals from an unlicensed facility where a wolf-dog allegedly attacked two-year-olds earlier.
The Agency reported in a statement that the authorities had taken several animals — including three coyotes, two fawns, 47 wolf-dogs and six red foxes — while carrying out a search warrant at the Howling Timbers Animal Sanctuary in Muskegon. The owner of the facility, Brenda Pearson, told The Detroit News that she had a shelter licence under the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and was waiting for the DNR to respond to the request for a wildlife rehabilitation permit.
"We only found out today we're not licensed for wildlife (rehabilitation)," Pearson told the outlet Friday, noting that Howling Timbers has housed wolf-dogs for 27 years.
In July, a wolf-dog allegedly cut off Pearson's 2-year-old granddaughter's arm after putting her arm in a cage. DNR said the volunteer Howling Timbers was trying to free the toddler's arm during the attack.
An confidential source approached the authorities about the alleged incident in August, which prompted officials to secure a search warrant last week.
DNR noted that wolf-dogs are a non-native species, and it is illegal to raise them in Michigan without proper authorisation. Pearson said on Facebook that she's never had wolf-dogs, but it's not rare for wolf-dogs to be pregnant when they're brought to her.
Pearson reportedly confirmed to the authorities in September that she had no permits. However, she is now saying that DNR had inspected her facility in July, shortly before the attack, and did not mention any licence issues.
"She's been applying for licenses with different departments but doesn't follow through with the inspection process – she's failed to complete all of her applications. An application is not a permit," Conservation Officer Anna Cullen said.
The Agency noted that it had released a search warrant at Pearson 's facility in 2008, which resulted in officials revoking its wildlife rehabilitation permit in 2010.
Pearson is known to have a history of criminal charges — including failure to alert authorities to the escaped bear and to keep animals in unsanitary conditions. It is not clear if she will face criminal charges in the light of the incident.

Fur Trade Utensils and Storage displayed at HBC replica Fort Langley. Utensils and storage units such as these might have been the cause of what was called the York Factory Complaint.
The boats are manned with crews of 7 men, and a few of 8 men, but many of them are suffering from the effects of severe colds contracted at York or in the journey downwards, which in several cases has rendered the sufferer unfit for duty. and in many instances, particularly with the Natives terminated by inflammatory diseases of the lungs, generally proving fatal.
Nevertheless, James Douglas is the only man whose journal I have, that arrived at York Factory in the midst of what was called its Complaint. No one knew what caused the peculiar illness that inflicted York Factory in the years between 1833 and 1836. It was, however, serious, and many were sickened by the illness. A few died.
How did I hear about this illness? I am active on Twitter, as are many others. Someone who has fur trade ancestry asked what the "York Factory Complaint" was, and she was referred to me. Of course I knew nothing, and presumed that it might have been malaria, as I knew York Factory was surrounded by marshes and subject to hordes of flies and, perhaps, mosquitoes. Still, I had not heard of York Factory being subject to malaria, and I understood it was generally considered to be a healthful place.
After I stopped laughing at the unlikeliness of the source, I answered the twitter question and continued the research. I found an article by Charles G. Roland, called "Saturnism at Hudson's Bay: The York Factory complaint of 1833-1836." It was a really interesting find, and may be quite important to the descendants of the fur traders west of the Rocky Mountains and elsewhere. The ancestor of the person who actually asked the question died in Red River in 1851, and was the last known person to have succumbed to the York Factory Complaint.
The first doctor to arrive at York Factory to treat this illness was Dr. Smith, surgeon on the HBC ship Prince Rupert. In summer 1834, Smith found the place gloomy, inhabited by persons who looked more like ghosts than men. Within a month he was sick enough that he thought he would not make it back to Churchill, where his ship was. He had spent seven weeks at York Factory and probably did not have the Complaint, but his reports were very clear on the dangers of the disease. Some of the people affected by the disease in the first year were Chief Factor John Ballenden, Chief Trader Robert Miles, and Chief Trader John Hargrave. Ballenden is connected to many fur trade families: John Lee Lewes's for example, and Dr. William Todd's. Ballenden himself came west of the Rockies in the early 1850's and worked with Alexander Caulfield Anderson, and Dr. Todd's son, William, worked under Anderson at Fort Alexandria in the mid-1840's.
Dr. E.H. Whiffen was the next doctor to arrive at York Factory, in July 1834. He was there for two years, and he too suffered from the disease. In January 1835, the Complaint returned, and ran rampant until July, when the York Factory Express under James Douglas was at the Fort. Almost certainly, some of the men who traveled in that express had a touch of the York Factory Complaint, as many of them had spent the winter at that place.
In January 1835, John Ballenden and James Hargrave had their second attacks. A young man named Joseph Charles became ill, as did William Thew. This is almost certainly the same William Thew who worked west of the Rockies in the 1840's, and who threatened to kill Chief Factor Archibald McDonald at Fort Colvile — the York Factory Complaint might explain his strange behaviour. But even more interesting to me is that Joseph Charles turns out to be the nephew of Chief Factor John Charles, and was first cousin of young John Charles who led out the York Factory Express from Fort Vancouver in 1849! There are many west of the Rocky Mountains connections in this story!
It appears the illness ended every Autumn, and nothing happened in October and November in most years. It returned in January, 1836. Joseph Charles died in May of that year. A McTavish was at York Factory and sickened by the disease — this may have been Dugald Mactavish, later Chief Factor in charge of Fort Vancouver! Hargrave was extremely sick, and John Ballenden was trying to manage the post while Hargrave was bed-ridden. Chief Factor John Charles arrived from Oxford House to take charge of York Factory — he was uncle to young Joseph Charles who had died a month or two previously, and father of John Charles, about whom I write. Charles wrote that the disease was rather worse than Doctor Whiffin had indicated.
No one had any idea what caused the illness. Dr. Whiffin was invalided to Red River, where he continued to suffer from the illness. Doctor William Todd was the next doctor to arrive at York Factory. Todd was the last man at York Factory to suffer from the illness, which disappeared almost immediately on his contracting the illness. No cases were reported in later years, and no one knew what had caused it and where it came from. Three or more people had died. The HBC sent an investigator to find the source of the problem: he found no copper or lead in the water supply, and no copper utensils in the kitchen except for a pot used for boiling water. As a result, he blamed the illness on the preserved foods the men ate, and the unhealthy conditions at the post.
Much research has been done on this type of poisoning in the years after 1836, and scientists now believe this Complaint was caused by lead poisoning. To Charles Roland, the author of the article I am reading, the cause of the Complaint was "saturnism or plumbism — lead poisoning." Relapses are common, even when the men were apparently no longer exposed to lead. But it is interesting to know there were many possible sources of lead at that time: lead paint, for example. Lead lined containers for food. Lead was also used in glazing pottery, which was certainly at York Factory and probably used more by the gentlemen, who tended to become sick, than by the employees, who tended to remain in better health.
I was curious who CBMH was. It is the Canadian Bulletin for Medical History. That's impressive! Those of you who are interested in Medical History probably know this, but if you do not, you may like to search http://www.cbmh.ca/index.php/cbmh to see what they have to say about the disease you are interested in.
Thank you; I thought the years were a little early for canned food, but perhaps this was the first experiment. Especially interesting in the case of William Thew, who really did seem to lose his mind, poor man. Thanks for your information: this has been a fascinating subject to explore and write about, and its nice to have some confirmation of the details.

Fatal shooting involving Alec Baldwin highlights the risks of a rushed film production

The fatal shooting by Alec Baldwin on a movie set has put a microscope on an often-unseen corner of the film industry where critics say the pursuit of profit can lead to unsafe working conditions.
With a budget of around $7 million, the Western "Rust" was no micro-budget indie. The previous best-picture winner at the Academy Awards, "Nomadland," was made for less.
But the New Mexico set where Baldwin shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins had inexperienced crew members, apparent safety lapses and a serious labor dispute.
Last weekend, The Associated Press reported that several crew members on set had raised safety concerns about the production and that seven crew members even walked off set hours before the shooting.
The Los Angeles Times has reported that Baldwin's stunt double had accidentally fired two live rounds on set five days before the fatal shooting after being told the gun he was holding did not contain live ammunition.
According to CNN, Dave Halls, the film's assistant director, has faced complaints on other film sets for his disregard for safety protocols.
Even the sheriff investigating the fatal shooting admitted earlier this week that he felt officials on the set showed "some complacency" regarding gun safety.
For some in the business, the failures reflect larger issues in the fast-evolving movie industry.
"Production is exploding, corners are being cut even more, and budgets are being crunched down even more," Mynette Louie, a veteran independent film producer, told The Associated Press. "Something's got to give."

Southwark NewsNewsSouthwark Labour 'U-turn' over vote in favour of second EU referendum
Southwark Labour 'U-turn' over vote in favour of second EU referendum
Josh Salisbury (04 July, 2019)
'All in all, this is too little, too late and fundamentally two-faced' - Lib Dems
Image: stock
Southwark's Labour councillors voted on Tuesday night to campaign for a second referendum on any Brexit deal, in what has been criticised as a 'U-turn' by the opposition.
The policy is a departure from the national party's current stance, passed at its conference last year, which first calls for a general election.
In November's Council Assembly, Labour councillors had backed an amendment which added their support for a general election or failing that, a second referendum.
A Liberal Democrat bid to secure council backing for a second referendum was unsuccessful.
Cllr Peter John, leader of the town hall's Labour grouping, said a second referendum was necessary as "no-deal would be a disaster for Southwark."
"A new political mandate is needed to move the country and the process forward which is why Labour in Southwark backs a people's vote," he said.
When asked by the News whether Labour councillors who were punished for breaking the group whip in November to argue for a second referendum should have been disciplined, a group spokesperson said councillors were expected to abide by the whip and "appropriate action" is taken when it is breached.
One of the two councillors, Cllr James Coldwell (Newington), later resigned from the group to become an independent.
The policy shift was slammed as a U-turn by the leader of the opposition Liberal Democrat group, Cllr Anood Al-Samerai, who said she nonetheless welcomed the support for a People's Vote.
"They are shameless in claiming to campaign against Brexit locally, while also campaigning to get a pro-Brexit government elected nationally," she said, arguing it had little to do with principles.
"If it was, they would have opposed Brexit earlier and wouldn't have disciplined their councillors who supported a People's Vote.
"All in all, this is too little, too late and fundamentally two-faced."

Plug-in electric car sales in Canada, July 2017: Golf season
Matthew Klippenstein August 9, 2017 Comment Now!
The Volkswagen e-Golf launched in Canada in late June, tallying 39 sales before the month's end, and followed that with 84 units in its first full month of availability.
Aided by the e-Golf, the Toyota Prius Prime and the soon-to-arrive second-generation Nissan Leaf, plug-in electric vehicles may push above 1 percent of the market for Canadian new vehicles—even before the Tesla Model 3's Canadian debut.
While the Chevy Volt won its 16th straight sales title in Canada during July, its sales of 231 were down about one-third, both month-over-month and year-over-year.

Indeed, the Volt's monthly total was its lowest since February 2016. Coming months should tell us whether the setback was temporary, or whether new entrants are winning sales at the Volt's expense.
Given that Tesla's Canadian sales typically begin each quarter slowly, it's likely that the Nissan Leaf's 148 sales made it Canada's second-best selling electric vehicle in July.
Plug-in electric car sales in Canada, July 2017
This was Nissan's best figure in 11 months, and a healthy boost from the 125 sold in June. Registration data from March through June suggest an additional 30 used Leafs are imported from the United States each month.
Chevrolet sold 117 Bolt EVs in Canada in July, down about one-third from the 169 sold in June, and the lowest total since its first full month of availability in February.
At time of writing, Chevy has probably sold its 1,000th Bolt in Canada, achieving the feat in just seven months and thereby matching the Tesla Model X.
The Toyota Prius Prime enjoyed a strong second month in Quebec, following its 144 June sales with an additional 98 in July.

The company noted that the two-month total handily exceeds the original Prius' sales in its first year of Canadian availability.
As for Mitsubishi, it sold an additional 6 i-MiEVs during the month. That model has now been taken off the market, and any remaining sales will essentially be 2017 leftovers.
As usual, Ford C-Max Energi, Ford Fusion Energi and Hyundai Sonata PHEV sales are not provided.
Per a Ford representative: "I have looked into this and unfortunately we are not inclined to provide this level of detail for Canada. The numbers are very small, as you might imagine."

June registration roundup
June was by far Canada's best-ever month for plug-in electric vehicle registrations, both in absolute numbers (estimated at about 1,780) and in market share, which reached 0.88 percent.
The Tesla Model S and Model X both topped 200 sales during the month, with the Model S leading by a 204 to 201 margin. The total of 405 sales represented Tesla's second-best month in the Great White North, surpassed only by the 425 last September.
Hyundai sold 92 Ioniq Electrics in June, following 108 in May. Perceptive reader Jeff T. noted that the Ioniq has sold better in Canada than it has in the United States, where the numbers were about half as many over the past two months.

Hyundai has a higher market share in Canada (a bit more than 6 percent in Canada versus less than 4 percent in America), but these effects should be swamped by the size of the new-car market in the U.S., roughly 10 times as large as Canada's.
Hyundai's brand-mate sold 59 Kia Soul EVs in June, a bit above the 56 in May, while Ford sold 54 Focus Electrics, and Chrysler moved an additional 57 Pacifica (plug-in) Hybrids.
Best estimates are for 36 used Nissan Leafs imported into Canada, joined by a single Volt and three Fiat 500e imports.
2017 Volkswagen e-Golf
VW Group brand Audi sold 61 A3 e-tron plug-in hybrid hatchbacks in June, down slightly from a best-ever 65 in May. Porsche sold an additional 48 Cayenne S-E Hybrids.
Their Stuttgart-based rivals at Daimler sold one additional Smart Electric Drive, along with two S550e sedans and three GLE 550e SUVs.
(The S550e, incidentally, is the plug-in electric vehicle Shell CEO Ben Van Beurden will be famously switching to in September.)
For its part, BMW sold 34 i3 hatchbacks, 12 i8 coupes, 26 X5 xDrive40 SUVs, 18 330e plug-in hybrid sedans, one 740e plug-in luxury sedan, and one Mini Cooper Countryman S E All4 plug-in hybrid utility vehicle.
July's numbers for the plug-in hybrid Mini Countryman should be somewhat higher, given its late-June debut.
Finally, Volvo sold an additional 33 XC90 plug-in hybrid SUVs.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: A big thank you to detail-oriented reader Morgan Brown for pointing out an incorrect cell reference that had slightly inflated used car import estimates in recent months. GreenCarReports' reporting can only be as useful as it is accurate, and we are sincerely appreciative (if a bit sheepish!) to learn of any errors readers may uncover.

I definitly wasted 5 minutes debugging this, but at least now I know.
It's hard to believe that only a few months ago, my team and I won second prize in the Student Division of the Apps For Energy Contest. It still hasn't quite sunken in yet… we won a national competition….that is just amazing. One of my teammates was talking about it to a friend during a car ride (late Chinese food run), and she was totally amazed. Me?… I was amazed at her amazement. Did my team really just place in this national competition? I still feel like the same person. The whole thing just seems so surreal, like it was all a dream.
As a winning team, we have been invited to Washington D.C. to attend the "Energy Datapalooza", with a booth demonstrating our application. I just got this in the mail, which drives home the impressiveness of what my team has achieved. I'm really proud of my team, but we have a lot more to accomplish before we can rest.
Unleashing the power of data to advance our energy future The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Council on Environmental Quality, the U.S. Department of Energy, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency cordially invite you to join us for an "Energy Datapalooza," highlighting innovators and entrepreneurs who are using freely available data from the government and other sources to build products, services, and apps that advance a secure and clean energy future.

On a mission deep in the wilds of Indonesia, desire explodes between Cal and Mara. But as the two headstrong lovers are drawn to each other, terrible secrets from Cal's past threaten to drive them apart...forever.


This is my first smart phone and I've had it for two years. I have the Ascend H881C version and it has worked fine with one exception. Although it allows for 32 GB micro SD card, all the apps run on the internal storage (even if the SD card is chosen as primary), so I'm always running out of memory for app updates and have to uninstall and then reinstall apps to get the latest versions. Other than the lack of internal storage for apps, it's been a great phone and I would recommend it for beginners and those that just want basic functions.
This is actually one of the best (cheap) smartphones I have had. It runs fine (my old one took forever to do anything) and actually has a fairly recent version of the Android OS on it. My only complaint is the low amount of built in storage space, since not all apps can be installed on an SD card. I only paid $30 for it, so am still happy with the purchase.
Some people complained that battery life was horrible. There was a period of time when this was true. It was temporary problem caused by Google Play Services. I had installed an update and suddenly my battery wouldn't last more than a couple of hours. I had to uninstall Google Play Services, which is needed by a number of other apps, but not apps that I was really using, although Google Maps was among them. Eventually I accepted an update to Google Play Services and they had resolved the problem. I can go about a day on a single battery charge, but I don't typically use my phone a lot.
Zahin, 21 May 2014They are going to release a smartphone in 2014 which runs on android 4.0. Freaking 4.0!!!!!!!!!!!!!I've had my phone since Sept 2013 so it's wrong where they say it was announced and released in 2014.
ablemicky, 11 Apr 2015i wish i had read this earlier..it would have saved me a lot of trouble....i hope all the comm... moreThis is my first smartphone and so maybe I don't realize how crappy a phone it is, but still it is not so bad as people are making it out to be. I've been using mine for a year and a half now and it does what I need it to do. It runs the apps I've wanted to run. I've mostly been happy with the quality of my phone service. If you see it as just a paper weight then you probably have a defective phone or have unreasonable expectations.
The biggest downside of the phone is that it can be slower than molasses at times. I haven't really compared it against other phones, but it can sometimes take 20 seconds to get out of an app and start up the phone app and get to the point where I can make a phone call. That seems excessive, but I don't make make many calls so that it is not really an issue for me. Receiving calls has never been a problem. I find the sound quality is good and the speaker phone works well.
Sometimes the text messaging app won't stay open. Apparently it's not good at managing memory and I sometimes have to run a memory booster app such as Clean Master to get it to run reliably. Usually I don't have to, but when I have problems with the messaging app closing spontaneously I know it's time to run the memory booster.
The browser that comes with it is not very reliable. It would frequently close spontaneously and I'd have to restart it and try to get back to the desired web page. That can be very frustrating. I found that there are other browsers that are much more reliable. I prefer UC Browser or CM Browser. Google Chrome works well, but uses a tremendous amount of memory.
For some reason although it comes with 2.7 GB of storage built-in they only make 630 MB of that available for apps. I assume this is just to frustrate people to force them to move to higher end phones so they can install all the apps they want. I was running out of app storage even with moving all the apps that I could to a 32 GB SD card using the built-in function for doing that. Eventually I rooted my phone and installed Link2SD which allowed me to move a lot more app related data to the SD card and thus allows me to install many more apps.
The touch screen works well and I've been satisfied with the quality of the graphics. I've never had problems watching streaming videos. Youtube works well both via the app and on a browser. I've used Netflix and streamed other video using browsers with no problems. I sometimes stream music using Pandora or Spotify. I've never tried video games more demanding than Angry Birds, so I can't say how it performs in that respect.
The camera is adequate and I wish it had a flash. One thing that is good about the camera is that it takes good pics of documents with normal lighting. The auto focus worked well on closeup objects. This is probably not a big plus for many people, but I recently had need of taking many such pics and was pleased with the results compared to other cameras I tried.
One thing I like about the phone is that it has an easily replaceable battery. I recommend buying extra batteries and an external battery charger. I like to carry one or two fully charged batteries with me so I can swap one in if the battery dies. I think it's easier to carry extra batteries than other external battery devices. The batteries are light and thin and will fit in any pocket. You can buy batteries for about $5 each on Amazon or Ebay.
knew the week I bought this phone that it was the worst phone ever made. I have to take a valium every time i use i get so frustrated. Im tired of going from forum to forum try to fix the un fixable. im using it to make phone calls until i can get get another samsung. dont by this folks! its junk.
Anonymous, 20 Oct 2014Worst phone ever. This phone has caused me so many issues that I cannot wait to move on to a d... moreI've had this phone for a while, and it does none of that. my battery lasts for about 6 hours of screen time, if I'm using it constantly. Yours is faulty.
Worst phone ever. This phone has caused me so many issues that I cannot wait to move on to a different phone. I have tried to call people and the phone calls others; most of the time numbers that I don't even have saved in my phone! Its starting to text random text messages to people and even worse than that, the battery is dying constantly even though it is right after I've taken it off the charger. Literally the worst phone ever created. I am frightened by this phone and how it works because I don't know if or when it is going to call someone that could possibly hurt me. I am furious that they are still allowing this phone on the market actually and highly suggest people steer clear of this phone, no matter what. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE- END OF STORY!
