Tencent Music said revenue dropped to CNY 6.64 billion (USD 979 million) in the first quarter ended March 31, partly due to lower ad sales after a fresh bout of COVID-19 cases in China. Net income attributable to equity holders of the company fell by a third to 609 million yuan. The firm, 49%-owned by tech giant Tencent Holdings, reported its biggest revenue driver, social entertainment services, saw a 21% fall in quarterly sales. Paying users in the segment fell to 8.3 million from 9 million in the previous quarter.
The company reported that online music paying users increased by 4 million from the prior quarter when it added about 5 million paying users. However, the average revenue per paying user slipped in the first quarter, falling to CNY 8.3 from CNY 9.3 in the same period last year. As part of a broad clampdown on China's internet firms that began last year, regulators stripped Tencent Music of its exclusive contracts with big music labels, spurring competition from rivals like Cloud Music and ByteDance-owned short video sharing platform Douyin.
Cheuk Tung Yip, Tencent Music's chief strategy officer, said in a call with analysts that the company has deepened cooperation with Tencent Holdings in an effort to boost revenue. A focus for the coming quarters will be on promoting live streaming and live concerts on WeChat, Tencent's flagship messaging platform with a billion-plus user base.

Green tea noodles? Cool – something unique right? Hmmm… When I opened the package I was greeted with the odor of green tea. Yup – the noodles are infused with green tea powder and the odor is very strong.
Two packets – dry soup base and vegetables.
The veggies looked very nice however the powder had a bit of an off odor to it.
Final product (click image to enlarge). I wish the photo showed how green this stuff is. Very strange. Honestly I found this to be some of the worst noodles ever. While It has the amazing power of green tea, the wretched aroma and flavor is enough to make me wretch. I am going to give it 0.0 stars out of 5.0 stars. Sorry Paldo but I really don't like this one. Get it here.

Personally I don't know what those reviews on ramenbox were about cause I thought the stuff smelled and tasted really quite horrible! I think it would be way better to actually drink some green tea and maybe have some miso ramen along side it. It's funny because a lot of people think that adding a healthy thing to an existing product is the way to go. I know a guy who is ecstatic about purchasing some caffeine-infused bar soap! I don't see what that's all about though… My final word on this stuff – make some green tea and boil some noodles in it and add some unexceptional flavoring with a little bit of bonito in it and that's what you get. Unique stuff but I found it truly wretched.
The cup Chlorella is better. I tried both the instant and cup. The instant is actually not that terrible. Maybe you prepared it wrong or something because this is my sister's favorite ramen and she's REALLY picky. Or, maybe you just don't like it.
I love these noodles, and so does my partner. But they have a different flavour – they're not to be compared to your average ramen. They're not spicy or msg-y. I imagine you either love or hate them. You have to try them for yourself. I'm really picky about my instant ramen – most I find terrible – and I love these, though not when I am in a spicy regular ramen mood. Just when I am in a green tea chlorella ramen mood.
Yeah I agree – I think they're for some but not all, me being one of the latter… Glad you like them, though!
I've got to agree with Sara on this one but, yeah, it's either love or hate. Not my go-to noodle, but I like them a lot. I do agree with you on the smell – it wasn't that bad, though. Still, the review made for a great read. I haven't tried any of the other "Bottom 10" items yet, but I think I'll try to soldier through them in the MST3K spirit. If I can find them, that is.

Share All sharing options for: Buehrle Throws Good Game But Gets No Decision
Mark Buehrle pitched a good game but ended up with a no decision as the White Sox got their win late against Colorado. Buehrle pitched seven innings, giving up two runs on seven hits. The two runs were yielded on home runs to Jason Giambi and Ty Wigginton.
Before scoring the winning run in the ninth, the Sox tallied two runs of their own in the fourth inning. Juan Pierre led off the inning with a walk. One out later he advanced to second after Carlos Quentin was hit by a pitch. Paul Konerko hit an RBI single to score Pierre, and A.J. Pierzynski doubled shortly later to score Quentin.
But until the ninth inning, that was all the Sox could get. Ubaldo Jimenez pitched well, throwing seven innings, giving up two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four. But in the ninth inning they would finally come through. Carlos Quentin and Paul Konerko hit back-to-back singles to start the inning. Alexei Ramirez struck out, but A.J. Pierzynski to shallow center which scored Carlos Quentin for the win.
The two teams will play the rubber game of the series on Thursday afternoon. First pitch is at 2:10 P.M., CDT.

Safaris, traditionally, were an expedition to observe—or hunt—animals in their natural habitat, and "safari" and "Africa" go together like peanut butter and jelly. But Kenya's Masai Mara National Reserve, the most popular safari destination in Africa, is not the only game in town when it comes to to see big, roaming beasts. Instead of heading down the well-trodden paths where the animals are as surprised to see you as a Serengeti sunset, consider some of these off-the-beaten track alternatives. We've rounded up a revived African location, as well as other options off the African continent to go and be wowed by wildlife, so, get ready for your Meryl Streep having-her-hair-washed in the outback close-up: lots of linen, wide-brimmed hats, and plenty of big, wild animal sightings that leave you awed.
Mozambique's Gorongosa National Park was once considered one of the best game parks in southern Africa. Biologist Edward O. Wilson called it "ecologically, the most diverse park in the world." In its 1960s heyday, the park played host to the well-heeled, as well as celebrities like Joan Crawford and John Wayne with luxury accommodations and a nightclub.
But the animal population—including elephants, hippos, lions, zebras, cheetahs, and leopards—was decimated during Mozambique's long civil war by hunters and hungry soldiers. By the turn of the 21st century, ninety percent of the park's animal life had been lost, reported The Independent.
In 2004, the park entered a new era when Mozambique and the Carr Foundation partnered to rebuild the park's infrastructure and restore the wildlife populations. Carr pledged $40 million over 30 years to rebuild the park as a source of tourist income for the local population. Since then, the elephants have returned, along with antelope. Writing in The Telegraph, Anna Murphy called a visit to the park after the rainy season "a shimmering grassy wetland, eye-poppingly verdant and spotted with purple and white water lilies. The wildlife was in the grip of spring fever: cormorants diving into the water, then sitting high in the trees with their wings spread out to dry; warthogs frolicking in their large, deep muddy wallows; and the male impala, their neck muscles overdeveloped from month-long competitive rutting for females."
Investment in the park is not only about the animals; 97 percent of the 400 staff members are local and the park places an emphasis on training women. You can camp in the park or stay an airy, mosquito net-draped bungalow.
If cats are your spirit animals, head to India to see the most majestic of them all. Tigers find sanctuary at more than 30 parks in the country. Spend a day or two at Bandhavgarh National Park, a wildlife sanctuary in Madhya Pradesh, and you're almost guaranteed a spotting of a wild tiger, says Lonely Planet. The park has the highest density of tigers in the region, but you are also likely to see several varieties of deer, wild boar, four-horned antelope, Indian Bison, wild dog, leopard, and Indian fox and bear—and you can see them all on an elephant-back tour. Right outside the park's main gates is the village of Tala, where you can find accommodations for any budget—including a small one.
Or try the 1,334 square-kilometers Ranthambore National Park, a favorite with wildlife photographers and one of the country's most famous parks. The landscape is dotted with ancient ruins, including a fort where tigers and leopards like to hang out. As you explore the park, expect to see leopards, jungle cats, sloth bears, hyenas, Indian foxes, jackals and crocodiles. Stay in one of the 25 luxury tents at the Oberoi Vanyavilas.
Sumatra, Indonesia
Spying the wildlife in Sumatra's drippy rainforests doesn't happen from the front seat of a jeep. Sign up for a trekking tour in one of Sumatra's national parks. In West Sumatra, find Kerinci Seblat, Sumatra's largest national park, where tourism is seen as one of the most viable strategies to protect the endangered Sumatran tiger. Birdwatchers will also love this park, home to more than 370 species. "Once-in-a-lifetime sightings might include the Sumatran ground-cuckoo, which was considered extinct until it was rediscovered here in 2002," reports Lonely Planet. Book a tour with Wild Sumatra Adventures, a which donates five percent of trip costs to tiger conservation. In Tanjung Puting National Park, book a river boat cruise through the jungle to see the world's largest orangutan population. The "people of the forest," as they are known, have been seen using natural elements as tools, and they live among crocodiles, clouded leopards, and the long-nosed proboscis monkey, which lives nowhere else in the world.
Whatever souvenirs you end up bring home from your travels, remember to hang on to that sense of awe and powerful perspective. "Travel makes one modest," Flaubert wrote. "You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world."

McGeady set to leave Sunderland in January
Sunderland's Aiden McGeady (right) celebrates scoring his side's second goal of the game during the Checkatrade Trophy Final at Wembley Stadium, London.
Aiden McGeady has been told that he can leave Sunderland in the January transfer window.
Sunderland boss Phil Parkinson confirmed that McGeady was up for sale, amid rumors of a training ground incident.
"We have spoken to Aidy about January and moving on and we feel it is fair to him to tell him now to give him the opportunity to sort something out" said Parkinson.
"It gives me the opportunity to concentrate on the team moving forward and we feel it is the best decision for him going forward."
The Irishman, who is currently the top earner at the club after signing a one-year extension to his contract in 2017, has gone on to make 78 appearances for the club, including starting in both of Sunderland's trips to Wembley.
Parkinson looked to dispel rumors that the decision to sell McGeady was based solely around a training ground incident.
"It is not one particular incident. It is just a decision I have made and we wanted to tell Aidy and his agent early enough so they could put plans in place and we want to put our planning into place for January as well", he said.
"It is a big decision but not one we have taken lightly. We have given it a lot of thought and I am confident it is the right decision for the club.
Parkinson also confirmed that the 33 year-old would not be considered for Saturday's game against Blackpool.
"At the moment, we will move on with the players that will here and concentrate them."

One of the characteristics of GREAT people -- is not necessarily the success they've earned, the amount they have in the bank or the awards on their wall – but the CHARACTER they show day in and day out – regardless of circumstance, troubled times or obstacles in the road. They start each day with the INTENT of helping others, of making a difference and of staying true to the core values they've set for their lives.
In tightened economies and shifting markets sometimes it's easy to forget for a minute what we have said we stand up for. Sometimes it's simpler (we think) to cut corners, justify inequity or say there just isn't enough time, money, energy, etc. to do what's right or necessary.
But honestly? Intent is everything. Your core values mean something. And your customers, colleagues, kids, family, friends and that person in the mirror need to you have the courage to do the very best you can each day and give it your all.
In every market, every situation, and every economy – people want to work with those they KNOW they can like, and more importantly TRUST. Be that person and develop that trust by letting your true INTENT show. At the heart of our core values is a 'get by giving' philosophy. Our intent is to help people rise to the next level, get more from their lives, and work and live in balance. So today and every day – wake to ask yourself – what is MY intention? Then make it happen!

Q: Can someone please explain Morera's Theorem and the Schwarz Reflection Principle? I have been reading Complex Analysis, Third Edition by Joseph Bak and Donald J. Newman and am stuck with chapter 7 which deals with the mentioned theorem. I have read through the chapter at least twice already and still am not quite getting it. To my understanding, it deals with establishing the analyticity of functions on an open set (disk?) D .

A: The theorems are quite simple to understand if you realize where they came from (i.e. why they are natural questions to consider).
Morera's Theorem: The Cauchy-Goursat theorem tells us that if $f$ is holomorphic on a domain $D$, and $\gamma$ is a contractible loop in $D$ then
$$\int_\gamma f=0$$
for all holomorphic $f\in\mathcal{O}(D)$. This is a HUGE theorem, it is of the utmost importance in univariate (and multivariate, although suitably adapted) complex analysis. In fact, most of the big theorems concerning holomorphic functions are just corollaries of this theorem.
Because of this fact, becauseit seems like all of the important properties about holomorphic functions come from the Cauchy-Goursat theorem, it seems obvious to wonder whether we can extend our utilization of this fantastic theorem to a larger class of functions. Said differently, if we really only care about functions which have properties following from the Cauchy-Goursat theorem, what if, instead of holomorphic functions, we studied the set
$$X=\left\{f\in C(D,\mathbb{C}):f\text{ satisfies Gourat's theorem for every }\gamma\right\}$$
(where $C(D,\mathbb{C})$ is the set of continuous functions $D\to\mathbb{C}$--we always want continuity for well-behave functions). Clearly $\mathcal{O}(D)\subseteq X$, but do there exists more functions? Morera's theorem tells us the answer to this question: no.
In fact, Morera's theorem tells us something much stronger. It tells us that a function being analytic is actually equivalent to $f$ satisfying the Cauchy-Goursat theorem for every contractible triangle $\Delta\subseteq D$.
While this is the reason why it is natural to expect the statement of Morera's theorem to come up, it is not practically where it shows up. Practically it shows up in the following workhorse situation. We want to know if $f\in C(D,\mathbb{C})$ is holomorphic, and by Morera's we are reduced to just having to check that a set of integrals, over very nice curves, are zero.
For example, one is able to show using this idea the equivalence of holomorphic (i.e. $C^1$ and satisfies the Cauchy-Riemann equations) functions and complex differentiable (the limit
$$\displaystyle \lim_{z\to z_0}\frac{f(z)-f(z_0)}{z-z_0}$$
 exists). This is a huge deal, since we really want to think about holomorphic functions as just being complex differentiable, but really all of the basic theorems require them to be $C^1$ and satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann equations.
Schwarz's Reflection Principle: This I really have less to say about, hopefully someone else can fill in some of the holes.
The basic idea of why one would want to consider something like the Schwarz's Reflection Principle (SRP) is the following fact: continuation theorems are king. A big part of complex analysis deals with when we can extend a given holomorphic function to larger domains (an unique to univariate complex analysis). I'll leave the reasons for this for you to look up, but they show up all over the place, especially in number theory.
Well, a very obvious extension problem is whether or not we can extend a holomorphic function $f:\mathfrak{h}\to\mathbb{C}$ (where $\mathfrak{h}$ is the upper half-plane) which has a continuous extension $f:\overline{\mathfrak{h}}\to\mathbb{C}$ which takes real values on $\mathbb{R}$, to an entire function. Why is this so obvious? because there is a very obvious way one might attempt this extension. Namely, the upper half-plane (or other domains in the upper half-plane lying on the real line) have a natural map taking them to subsets of the lower half-plane--conjugation. We might try to define our extension of $f$ on the lower half-plane by reflecting $z\in\mathfrak{h}$ to $\bar{z}$ in the lower half-plane by reflecting the image of $z$ under $f$ with conjugation. The content of the SRP is that this naive approach to an extension theorem actually works.
EDIT: The SRP also applies to harmonic functions, which may mean that thinking about it purely from the point of view of complex analysis may be misleading. There may be a more potential theoretic reasons to consider the SRP, and why it should be true.

I hope that this helps!

Centuries of Munich's history long lay hidden beneath the lawn of Marienhof square. Apart from historical texts and images, artifacts lying hidden in the earth are what provide the most valuable insight into the past. Archaeological excavations were carried out at Marienhof prior to the start of construction work for the new underground station. The discovered items were professionally recovered and documented.
Why archaeological investigations were needed at Marienhof
Marienhof is considered an archaeological monument under the Bavarian Law for the Protection and Preservation of Monuments. Archaeological monuments are evidence, remains or traces of human culture hidden or discovered in the earth. They may be movable or immovable objects. The law in Bavaria generally requires that archaeological monuments be preserved in situ. When the task is to build new infrastructure, however, this is often impossible. Archaeological methods are therefore used to preserve at least part of the information which can be recovered from the archaeological monuments, in the form of maps, data and descriptions. This is why the best pieces of evidence of the city's history were archaeologically excavated at Marienhof, in the heart of Munich's old town, and documented using the most advanced methods currently available. This documentation will help future generations better understand this part of Munich's history.
First archaeological digs began in 1989
The first archaeological investigations north of the town hall were carried out as early as 1989. For the first time in decades, the ruins of buildings destroyed in the Second World War were revealed once again. Surprisingly, evidence of Munich's history as a city dating back as far as the Middle Ages was preserved in and beneath the 19th century buildings.
There was another opportunity to peek below the surface from 2002 to 2003, when two starting pits were dug for the U-Bahn platform extensions beneath the city's town hall.
Excavations for the construction of the second core route
In the run-up to the construction of the second core route, the Bavarian Office for the Conservation of Historical Monuments requested archaeological excavations at Marienhof. These took place from April 2011 to October 2012 and were based on detailed plans which drew on the findings of the 1989 excavations and the investigations in 2002 and 2003. This meant that costs and timings could be accurately predicted and integrated into the overall process.
Shortly after the official start of construction work for the second core route in April 2017, a third and final archaeological excavation took place at Marienhof and lasted until June 2019. This not only examined the future construction site for the underground station at Marienhof, but also the areas where underground utilities will be relocated.
The finds
In total, over 250,000 individual objects were recovered, including ceramics, glasses and bits of fabric. All the artifacts were cleaned, packed and labelled so that they could later be associated with the place they were found. Some were also preserved for future scientific work or for exhibition in museums.
The discovery sites and individual finds were documented in drawings and photographs. Measurements were also taken using cutting-edge measuring instruments. The final, detailed excavation documentation comprises a total of 74 folders replete with reports, log books, maps, photos and much more.
Cooking pot with remnants of food, early 1300s AD
A cooking pot still contained the residue from a burnt meal. Investigations of these remnants, as well as extensive finds of fruit kernels, seeds and animal bones, provide clues to residents' diet in medieval times.
Crossbow nut, 1300s/1400s
The nut is an important part of the crossbow, similar to the lock on a pistol. This one is made from antler. Wilbrecht tower (Wilbrechtsturm) was a storage place for the city's weaponry. Artifacts crafted from ceramic, bone, glass, leather and wood document the everyday life of the people who lived here.
On 17 December 1944 and 7 January 1945, large parts of Munich's city centre were destroyed by Allied bombers. On that night in January, the houses on what is now Marienhof square were reduced to ash and rubble. Many objects from this period were recovered from the cellars of the destroyed houses.

Q: How to call function declared in $(document).ready()? I have the following code:
$(document).ready(function() {
    var refresh = function() {
        alert('doing!');
    }
}

How to call refresh() function outside the $(document).ready()? Anywhere in the jQuery functions?
eg.
$('#el').click() {
    document.ready().refresh();
}

A: There isn't a way to call a method defined in a more local scope from another, you have to either store a reference to it, or declare it at/in a higher scope, for example:
$(document).ready(function() {
  window.refresh = function() {
    alert('doing!');
  };
});

Or:
var refresh = function() {
  alert('doing!');
};
$(document).ready(function() {
  //other code...
});

Fraser Hoffe: playful, vibrant and tactile art
Coffee sacking, string, scrunched-up paper, bamboo, glitter and layers of thick paint are among the materials that Wellington artist Fraser Hoffe uses to create his sculptures, installations and paintings.
"My art is playful, vibrant and tactile," he says. "There's a serious side to my work but I like to use humour and colour. People smile when they see my work. I like to describe it as 'happy art'."
One of five participating artists
Fraser, who has lived experience of mental illness, is one of five artists participating in the I'm an Artist Campaign happening in Wellington, Hamilton, Auckland, Christchurch and Dunedin.
Arts Access Aotearoa is organising the campaign with funding from the Ministry of Social Development's Making A Difference Fund. It aims to change attitudes and behaviour towards people with a disability, sensory impairment or mental ill-health.
The campaign also promotes disabled people and those who live with mental ill-health as artists who make great art, often with the support of community-based creative spaces.
Fraser says he is always experimenting and using a range of forms and materials. "Although my work often looks spontaneous and experimental, I consider everything I do and am constantly editing my work. It doesn't just happen."
A feature of Fraser's art is its "touchability". Layers of paint and Shellac varnish enhance its durability. "I like that people can touch my paintings. They look fragile but they're actually really strong."
Fraser recalls that as a child, he always knew he was a creative person and says this was his "reassuring voice". After school, he did leather work and design before becoming a stand-up comic and writing his own material. At the same time, he was always "making things" to put on his bedroom wall.
Every week day at Vincents or Pablos
Then, finally, in 2009, he found Vincents Art Workshop in Wellington. He goes there every week day except Thursday (a women's-only day at Vincents), when he goes to Pablos Art Studios. He is also an artist representative on the Vincents committee.
"Before Vincents, I was homeless for about 15 years … living in boarding houses and moving around a lot. Just survival really. Vincents gave me a place to come to every day, and it focused my energy on being creative and making art.
"For me, Vincents and Pablos provide an emotional base. They're like family, places where I can always go to make art, be with other people and have fun."
Both Vincents Art Workshop and Pablos Art Studios receive funding from the Ministry of Social Development.
Fraser remembers selling his first art piece for $15 in 2009. Since then, he's had numerous commissions and solo shows, and participated in group exhibitions.
Exhibitions and commissions
Last year, Fraser received a Changing Minds grant. The resulting work – cloaks and wall-mounted 3D paintings – featured in an exhibition at Studio One in Auckland.
"I learned a lot through that experience," he recalls. "Things like planning the project, meeting deadlines, transporting the work to and from Auckland, getting myself up there, and making a speech at the opening."
One recent commission was from CQ Hotels Wellington. Titled Journey, the installation is suspended from the atrium ceiling of the Cuba St hotel and reflects the city's hills, harbour, winding roads and skyline.
Fraser's artworks are displayed in various locations in Wellington: for example, a flag painted on a coffee sack features at Havana Coffee Works while one of his cloaks hangs in the dining room of the Wellington Soup Kitchen.
There will be a display of Fraser's work at CQ Hotels Wellington until 13 October. Throughout November, he will have an exhibition, based around an environmental theme, at In Good Company Space on Cuba Street.
"I like to make a point about the environment in an entertaining, optimistic way," he says.
About Vincents Art Workshop and Pablos Art Studios
Vincents Art Workshop was established in 1985 in response to a need that people had to continue artistic self-expression when they left mental health institutions. From the beginning, though, Vincents has had a philosophy of inclusion and everyone in the community is welcome to attend. Vincents provides access to arts and crafts activities, skilled tuition and art materials in a supportive environment. Visit the Vincents website.
Pablos Art Studios uses art and creative exploration to encourage people with lived experience of mental ill-health to transform their lives and re-engage in the wider community. Artists can access quality art opportunities in an environment that acknowledges career, personal and social needs, and encourages connections and a sense of value in the wider community.

THE ARTISTS: I'M AN ARTIST CAMPAIGN
Fraser Hoffe who works from Vincents Art Workshop and Pablos Art Studios in downtown Wellington, uses a range of forms and materials.
Kamini Nair, who makes art at Sandz Studio and Gallery in Hamilton, likes painting large canvases of flowers in vibrant colours because they remind her of her homeland Fiji.
Allyson Hamblett, an artist at Spark Centre in Auckland, is fascinated by the stories of the people she paints – often people on the edges of society.
Michael Krammer of Jolt Dance in Christchurch is a man of many talents.
Tanya Faiva, a Dunedin artist who has been attending Studio2 since 2005, likes experimenting with colours.


Guess which one is a teacher?
Most school districts feature at least a few teachers – usually retired educators. But there is only one teacher on the SAUSD School Board – college professor Rigoberto Rodriguez. The other SAUSD Board Members include Alfonso Alvarez, a school social worker; Valerie Amezcua, a retired probation officer; John Palacio, a political consultant; and Ceci Iglesias, a businesswoman.
The current crop of SAUSD School Board candidates includes one teacher – Art Pedroza. The other candidates include Angie Cano, an economist and businesswoman; John Palacio, Valerie Amezcua and Cecilia Aguinaga, a Realtor.
There are quite a few teachers who live in Santa Ana but many live outside of the SAUSD's borders. Those who don't live here can't run for the SAUSD School Board.
When you consider that the SAUSD's students are not doing well in math and English it makes sense to try to elect more educators. Pedroza has been teaching for fifteen years at Cerritos College – and he has also been an occupational safety trainer for almost twenty years.
Pedroza's four children all grew up in Santa Ana's public schools. His daughter graduated from Santa Ana High School and she is now a fashion designer in New York. His two older sons graduated from Godinez High School. One of them earned two degrees at UCLA after he had the highest GPA in the SAUSD upon graduating. The other is studying at Santa Ana College.
Palacio has been on the SAUSD School Board for twenty years. His legacy is almost a billion dollars in bond debt – which will go up again this year if he manages to bamboozle the voters with Measure I, his latest bond measure scheme.
It is clearly time for new leadership on the SAUSD School Board. And electing another teacher would definitely be a step in the right direction!
We also encourage you to vote for Angie Cano, a graduate of the SAUSD who went on to graduate from UCI and now wants to help her community.

Applying for Social Security Disability is a complex and time-consuming process. If you have decided to submit your claim without any help, there is a good chance it will be denied. However, it is possible to have your case heard before an administrative law judge. This is usually the next step after a second denial from Social Security and we are often asked at McGowan & Cecil LLC what needs to be done to prepare for the hearing.
First of all, you should understand that these hearings are extremely short. Administrative law judges have heavy workloads so if you come in unprepared and disorganized, it will hurt your case. During the hearing, the judge may ask you certain questions such as how the disability has affected your ability to work, or whether you might be able to work in a different career or job with your condition. You can prepare for these beforehand by sitting down and writing out bullet points of the things you want the judge to know.
The hearing is your opportunity to present any new medical evidence or documentation about the effect of your disability on your life. Therefore, you need to take the time to gather all medical records relating to your condition beforehand. This may include making a list of all the medical professionals treating you and then following up with them to get test results, medical notes and letters about your accident injury or illness. You should also try to get letters from former employers, friends, family members and other people who know you. They can write out their observations of your struggles and support your claim. For more information, please visit our page on what to do when a claim has been denied.

QUICK READ: Arctic, potential theater for another war
The Arctic region was 'inaccessible' until the end of the 20th century due to the layers of thick ice. Thus, there were less territorial disputes until the beginning of the (21st) century. However, with the ice caps melting rapidly, access to the Arctic oil and gas reserves, which is estimated to be worth hundreds of billions of dollars, will become easier – a prediction that has already sparked a rush for ownership.
The region, which is surrounded by the landmasses of Canada, Denmark (via Greenland), Russia, Norway and the US, is increasingly catching regional attention and these five Arctic countries are in rush to exploit the energy resources from the region. Such circumstances have given rise to plenty of disputes among the aforementioned five countries.
In the prevailing scenario, all the five Arctic countries have been moving towards militarizing the region in order to acquire each of their respective interests. Military exercises, opening military base & outposts, deployments of sophisticated ships, aircrafts and other maritime assets to assist & guard exploratory drilling purposes – all these have been taking place centering the region.
The current militarization efforts in the region is likely to increase with almost all the regional countries working to further increase their military deployments and exercises in the region, and there appears little hope and opportunity for any diplomatic resolution (or political agreement) regarding the disputes. It can be well presumed that without political agreement, the current non-hostile debate over the Arctic could turn into a violent confrontation.
If the disputes over the control of the Arctic resources are not resolved quickly, it could turn into a larger military conflict that would not just involve the Arctic countries, but would also drag a larger part of the region into this conflict, leading to a regionwide war.

New Ties With Russia Leave Turkey Stuck Between ISIS and Iran
Turkey's simultaneous reconciliation agreements with Russia and Israel provide a rare chance to design a new Middle Eastern policy.

The attack at Ataturk Airport in Istanbul this week, apparently by the Islamic State, clearly shows how Turkey has become a secondary front of the war in Syria. It was the seventh mass terror incident this year and probably won't be the last, because Turkey is one of the countries that have been marked by ISIS as enemies, both militarily and ideologically.
Turkish Agreement Is Price Worth Paying, Says Israeli Architect of Deal
Turkey Must Prioritize on Security
Istanbul Bombers Identified as Foreign ISIS Loyalists
As long as Turkey was helping ISIS personnel move through its territory into Syria, providing medical aided to ISIS wounded and, in the best case, turnimg a blind eye to oil deals between ISIS and Turkish producers, the country had immunity.

But when it began to attack ISIS bases in Syria, it became a target, open to attack whenever the opportunity arose. To ISIS, Turkey is already part of "the West" – a front on which Turkey is not fighting alone.
New channels opened up for Turkey this week, the most important being its reconciliation with Russia. It was enough to persuse some Iranian newspapers to understand the importance of this channel.
"The end of the good days between Russia and Iran," was the title of an article published on the Iranian website Aftab, which is close to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. "This is not ideological intervention but rather that which comes from diplomatic considerations with the goal of taking advantage of the new balance of power in the world after the withdrawal of the United States from the arena," the article said.
Reconciliation with Russia only bolstered the feeling in Iran that Russia could join Turkey in demanding the ouster of Syrian President Bashar Assad and replacing Iran on the Syrian front.
Iran and Russia do not see eye to eye on how to conduct the war in Syria. While Iran wants to complete the conquest of Aleppo, Russia has made clear that such a conquest cannot be expected any time soon. Russia's ambassador in Damascus stated as much in an interview with the Russian News Agency Interfax, explaining that he does not expect an assault on Aleppo or Raqqah (the ISIS capital in Syria) in the near future.
That contradicted the position of Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah, who called on all forces to come together to fight "the great strategic battle" in Aleppo.

Iran is not the only one pressured by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's race for reconciliation. The Kurds in Syria fear that rejuvenated ties between Turkey, Russia and Israel could compromise the assistance they are receiving from Russia and could establish a combined Israeli, Russian and Turkish aerial umbrella against an independent Kurdish entity in Syria.
"We must consider our path well in the face of this dangerous development" a senior Kurdish figure told an opposition Syrian website. That is because if in the past the Kurds in Syria could depend on Russian support no matter what, if only because of the rift with Turkey, from now on Russia might change direction. But it will probably not abandon the Kurds for now and let the United States be the only "landlord" in Kurdish operations against ISIS.
The United States is assisting an alliance of Syrian Kurds and Arabs it established called the Syrian Democratic Forces, specifically to mask assistance to the Kurds. Meanwhile, Washington has also adopted the New Syrian Army, a small militia established in late 2015 in the eastern part of Syria near the ISIS-controlled city of Bukamal on the border with Iraq, which is to be deployed to fight in the eastern part of Raqqah when a decision is made to capture it, while the Kurdish forces fight in the west of the city. In this way, Washington believes, the Kurds will be unable to take over Raqqah entirely and create Kurdish territorial contiguity from the Iraqi border to the main Syrian port city of Lattakia in the west.
That is Turkey's nightmare scenario, which it might now be able to prevent if it persuades Russia to thwart American plans.
Iran has still not abandoned efforts to sideline Russia. The secretary general of Iran's National Security Council, Ali Shamkhani, was this month appointed senior coordinator on Syria between Iran and Russia. Iran fears that Russia does not want to work robustly against the militias trying to bring down Assad. Russia's willingness to continue attacking the rebel bases from the air depends on Assad's ability to take more territory, especially Aleppo, which Russia, as noted, is in no hurry to bomb.
This is the juncture at which Russian-Turkish reconciliation could lead to the turnaround Iran seeks, if Russian President Vladimir Putin is able persuade Erdogan to withdraw his demand for Assad to step down immediately.
That seems unlikely, considering Erdogan's verbal assaults on Assad over the past five years. But Erdogan has also had a bellyful of anger against Israel for the past six years, has had harsh things to say about Russia, and has not spoken with Putin for eight months.
Meanwhile, Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim hinted at the possibility of renewed economic ties with Egypt in an interview with the Turkish website Haber.
With Erdogan taking steps to reconcile with all Turkey's neighbors, Assad also might be considered a "good neighbor." But such a turn could mean the end of the friendly relations created over the past year between Saudi Arabia and Turkey, after years of Turkish exclusion from the Arab sphere.
In any case, Turkey now finds itself in a supermarket of options. The tripartite reconciliation, beyond the huge economic benefits for all the partners, is a rare chance to design a new Middle Eastern policy in which Turkey could be an essential element.

Vin Diesel's 'The Last Witch Hunter' Adds 'Game of Thrones' Star Rose Leslie
by TheMac | Jul 14, 2014 | Movies & Series
Tags: Rose Leslie, The Last Witch Hunter, Vin Diesel
Rose Leslie is better known for locking lips with Jon Snow in "Game of Thrones", while he infiltrated the Wildlings camp. Unfortunately Jon's last encounter with the fiery redhead was not pleasant and painfully memorable, as she left him with three arrows in his body. According to recent reports, Leslie is set to star opposite Vin Diesel in "The Last Witch Hunter". The "Fast and Furious 7" actor will take on the role as the titular character, while Leslie plays a witch and love interest of the buffed actor.
The Last Witch Hunter centers on one of the last remaining witch hunters charged with the population control of witches and warlocks. The magical breed is about to proliferate in "a major way" unless "The Last Witch Hunter" can stop them. The film will see Diesel partner with his natural enemy in the streets of modern New York City. Leslie becomes an unlikely ally in a mission to prevent a witch queen from securing a relic containing the power to unleash a plague upon the human race.
Breck Eisner (The Crazies) will take seat behind the lens for Summit Entertainment. According to Deadline, Cory Goodman (Priest) wrote the screenplay; Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted) will produce. Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama ("Gods of Egypt") were hired to polish the script. No release date has been confirmed yet.

Сальвадор Идальго Лаурель (, Манила, Филиппины — , , Калифорния, США) — филиппинский политик, вице-президент (1986—1992), премьер-министр Филиппин (1986).

Биография
Сын третьего президента Филиппин Хосе Лауреля, годы правления которого пришлись на японскую оккупацию страны. В 1945 году президент Лаурель был эвакуирован в Токио, где в сентябре был арестован американскими военными и помещён в тюрьму.

В 1952 году окончил юридический факультет Университета Филиппин, в 1953 году получил диплом Йельского университета, в 1960 году — степень доктора права Йельского университета.

В 1960-х годах занялся адвокатской практикой. Возглавлял несколько крупных строительных компаний, входил в состав совета директоров банковскорй корпорации.

В 1967 году избран сенатором. Руководил комитетами по правовым вопросам, по экономике, по административной реформе, по общественному развитию. В 1968—1972 годах провозглашался «Сенатором Года».

Авторитарные действия президента Фердинанда Маркоса в 1972 году, когда он ввёл в стране чрезвычайное положение и в 1978 году, когда он решил объявить созданное им «Движение за новое общество» единственной политической партии, вызвали негодование Сальвадора Лауреля. В своих поездках по стране открыто призывал к демократизации страны, выступал против силовых действий власти. Однако в то же время в 1972-1980 годах входил в правящую партию Движение за новое общество, по списку которой в 1978 году был избран в парламент.

В 1980-х годах основал Объединенную националистическую демократическую организацию, ставшую главой оппозиционной силой страны. С 1982 года — один из руководителей Националистической партии, входившей в ОНДО на правах ассоциированного члена. Первоначально он намеревался выставить свою кандидатуру на президентских выборах 1985 года, но после длительных переговоров с Корасон Акино поддержал её кандидатуру, согласившись баллотироваться в качестве её кандидата на пост вице-президента.

После падения режима Маркоса в 1986—1992 годах — вице-президент Филиппин.

В 1986 году одновременно занимал пост премьер-министра и министра иностранных дел.

В 1992 году баллотировался на пост президента, однако Корасон Акино поддержала не его, а министра обороны Фиделя Рамоса, который и выиграл выборы.

В 1993—1999 годах — председатель национальной комиссии по празднованию 100-летия провозглашения независимости. Находясь на этой должности, он внёс значительный вклад в укрепление гражданских и патриотических чувств филиппинцев, а также в дело пропаганды положительного образа страны за рубежом.

Многие ожидали, что работа комиссии будет продолжена и после юбилея. Однако новый президент Филиппин Джозеф Эстрада её распустил, а самого Лауреля обвинил в финансовых злоупотреблениях, который очень болезненно переживал эти нападки.

С 1950 года был женат на Селии Диас (умерла в 2004), имел 8 детей.

Уйдя из политики, большую часть времени проводил в США, где проходил курс лечения от тяжёлой болезни.

Похоронен на Кладбище Героев в Тагиге.

LONDON (Reuters) - Queen Elizabeth, the world's longest-reigning living monarch, celebrated her Sapphire Jubilee on Monday as Britain commemorated 65 years since she ascended the British throne.
The 90-year-old monarch, who became Britain's longest-reigning sovereign in 2015, did not publicly mark the occasion herself, but a 41-gun royal salute was fired in a central London park to honor the landmark.
"Today's Sapphire Jubilee marks yet another remarkable milestone for our remarkable queen," Prime Minister Theresa May said in a statement.
Elizabeth became queen aged 25 on Feb. 6, 1952, following the death of her father George VI, the 40th monarch in a royal line that traces its origin back to Norman King William the Conqueror who claimed the throne in 1066.
When she overtook her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria's record 63 years on the throne, she remarked it was not something to which she had ever aspired, and Buckingham Palace said she would spend Monday at her residence in Sandringham, eastern England, as was usual.
However, the queen's office released a 2014 portrait showing her wearing a suite of sapphire jewelry she received from her father as a wedding gift in 1947.
Elizabeth has cut back on international tours but still regularly performs official duties around Britain and remains hugely popular with Britons with an approval rating of about 80 percent.
In December she said she would reduce the number of her patronages, passing on her role at dozens of charities, academic institutions and sporting groups to other members of the royal family.

Q: Shell script print the path of all sub directory My Script:
 cd /var/www/try/
 sort -u
 files="$(find -L "/var/www/try/" -type d)"
 echo "Count: $(echo -n "$files" | wc -l)"
 echo "$files" | while read file; do
 echo $file >> filename.csv
 done

Output :
/var/www/try
/var/www/try/cat

Output Should be :
var-www-try
var-www-try-cat

Second Case :
 any character except / as some fo my folder name contain / like for e.g.
"tv/dvd"

Output genrated :
 /var/www/try/cat/tv/dvd

Output Should be :
 var-www-try-cat-tv/dvd-

A: Have a look at sed, which is a popular tool for string replacing tasks.
>> x=$(echo '/var/www/try/cat/tv/' | sed 's/\//-/g')
>> echo $x
-var-www-try-cat-tv-
>> x=${x:1}
>> echo $x
var-www-try-cat-tv-

edit:
In response to your second case:

as some fo my folder name contain /

Maybe there's a misunderstanding here but you should not have a / in a filename. See Is it possible to use "/" in a filename?


For those of you that are mortgage brokers or loan officers you know that cold calling is an essential part of the sales game.
You must also realize that no matter how good you are when it comes to sales, you will undoubtedly experience rejections and challenges over the phone.
Here are a few tips on overcoming some rejections and obtaining more loan applications.
You may be told by the customer that they need to speak with their spouse before they make a decision.
If this happens, ask the customer if their spouse is available, and if they are, ask if you may speak with them now.
If their spouse is not available, ask when they will be and if you can call back at that time.
Some customers may say to you that they are no longer interested.
This is not unusual because when people apply for mortgages on-line, they are usually motivated by emotion. What seemed to be the good thing to do last night, may not seem like a good thing to them in the morning.
So, it is up to you to make them interested again.
When you are faced with this challenge, explain to the customer that you have some products that you believe will fit their needs. Tell them that they are not committed to anything, they only need to sit back for a few minutes and listen while you go over your products.
When you are done, ask the customers permission to send out some literature along with your business card. And, if you may follow up with a phone call in a few days.
This is the beginning of building the relationship with your customer. The more informal contacts you can make with your customer the more comfortable they will become with you.
Unfortunately, not every cold call is a slam dunk, so the more prepared you are for the challenges you will face over the phone, the more successful you will be.

Jerome Powell is an American lawyer and economist, who currently serves as the 16th Chair of the Federal Reserve. He has held this position since February 2018. Powell has also held several other posts in the private sector, such as Vice Chairman of Bankers Trust Company, and Board Member of The Blackstone Group. Let's find out what Jerome Powell net worth with Fidlarmusic today!

Jerome Powell Overview
Why is Jerome Powell famous?
FAQs about Jerome Powell
Who will be next fed chairman?
Who owns the Federal Reserve today?
Who owns the most stock in the Federal Reserve?
In 2023, Jerome Powell's net worth is estimated to be $50 million. As the current Chair of the Federal Reserve, he earns an annual salary of $203,500, and the other board members, including the vice chair, earn an annual salary of $183,100.
President Barack Obama nominated him to the Board of Governors in 2012. President Donald Trump nominated Powell as chair to succeed Janet Yellen, and the Senate confirmed both nominations. On November 22, 2021, President Joe Biden nominated Powell for a second term as chair.
Powell was one of six children born to Patricia and Jerome Powell (1921-2007), a private practice attorney, on February 4, 1953 in Washington, D.C.
James J. Hayden, his maternal grandfather, served as Georgetown Law School's lecturer before serving as dean of the Columbus School of Law at Catholic University of America. Susan, Matthew, Tia, Libby, and Monica are his five siblings.
Powell earned his diploma from the Jesuit university-preparatory Georgetown Preparatory School in 1972. In 1975, he graduated from Princeton University with a Bachelor of Arts in politics.
His senior thesis was titled "South Africa: Forces for Change." He worked as Richard Schweiker's legislative aide in Pennsylvania during the 1975–1976 legislative session.
In 1979, Powell graduated with a Juris Doctor from Georgetown University Law Center, where he also served as the Georgetown Law Journal's main editor.
Powell relocated to New York City in 1979 and worked as Judge Ellsworth Van Graafeiland's clerk on the Second Circuit of the United States Court of Appeals. Powell practiced law at Davis Polk & Wardwell from 1981 to 1983, and at Werbel & McMillen from 1983 to 1984.
Powell held a position as vice president at the investment firm Dillon, Read & Co. from 1984 until 1990, where he specialized in financing, merchant banking, and mergers and acquisitions.
Powell attempted to convince Congress to lift the US debt ceiling during the 2011 US debt ceiling crisis while a visiting scholar at the Washington, DC-based Bipartisan Policy Center between 2010 and 2012.
Powell discussed the effects of a default or a delay in lifting the debt ceiling on the economy and interest rates. He received a $1 annual wage for his labor.
Powell was added to President Barack Obama's list of candidates for the Federal Reserve Board of Governors in December 2011, along with Jeremy C. Stein.
Since Stein's nomination had previously been filibustered, the inclusion of two candidates aimed to increase the likelihood of bipartisan support for both candidates. Since 1988, a president had not nominated a member of the opposing party for such a position until Powell.
On November 2, 2017, President Donald Trump proposed Powell as the candidate to succeed Janet Yellen as chair of the Federal Reserve.
Powell's appointment as chair was approved by the Senate Banking Committee on December 5 with a vote of 22-1; Senator Elizabeth Warren was the lone contrarian. By a vote of 84 to 13 on January 23, 2018, the Senate approved his nomination. On February 5, 2018, Powell took over as chair.
In February 2018, Jerome Powell was appointed as President Donald Trump's sixteenth Chair of the Federal Reserve. Trump has frequently criticized him.
In 1985, at the Episcopal Washington National Cathedral, Powell wed Elissa Leonard. Elissa serves as the head of the village's board of management, and the couple has three kids. They reside in Chevy Chase Village in Maryland. Powell served on the Chevy Chase Club's board of governors in 2010.
Powell has held positions on the boards of numerous nonprofit and educational organizations, including The Nature Conservancy, the Bendheim Center for Finance at Princeton University, and the public charter school DC Prep.
The Center City Consortium, a collection of 16 parochial schools in some of Washington, D.C.'s most underprivileged neighborhoods, was also founded by him.
Jerome Powell is a renowned American attorney and investment banker who has been the 16th chair of the Federal Reserve since 2018. He is the first non-economist to serve as the Fed chair in 40 years, and has served under four U.S. presidents, both Democrat and Republican.
Powell is widely known for his role in brokering an agreement in 2011 to raise the federal debt ceiling and avoid defaulting on the nation's debt. Prior to joining the Federal Reserve Board, he was an editor-in-chief of the Georgetown Law Journal and worked at the Bipartisan Policy Center.
He also gained popularity among 18- to 30-year-olds due to his involvement in The Power of the Fed, which shaped the quantitative easing policies implemented during the COVID era. These policies have not only sparked a stock market boom, but have made Powell more relatable to young investors.
On May 12, 2023, Jerome Powell received confirmation for a second, four-year term as chair. On April 26, 2023, the Senate approved Biden's nomination.
Each of the 12 regional reserve banks of the Federal Reserve System is owned by its member banks, who initially provided the capital to keep them operating, in accordance with the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. Based on a portion of the capital and surplus of each member bank, they can subscribe to a certain number of capital shares.
Individual stockholders do not exist. Member banks, who are required to subscribe to the stock of the Federal Reserve Bank in their district in an amount equivalent to 6% of the capital and surplus of the member bank, possess all of the stock.
Jerome Powell has had a successful career as an economist and lawyer, and is currently serving his second term as the chair of the Federal Reserve. His impressive career and accomplishments are an example to us all. To learn more about Jerome Powell's success story and net worth, visit Fidlarmusic today!

Q: Inexplicably slow Western Digital WD15EARS disk I have four disks, of which two are WD15EARS, in a server and I'm trying to put the two WD15EARS's in Linux mdadm RAID, but for some reason, the array's performance is very slow (it syncs at about 15 MB/s). At first I thought it was an alignment issue, since they're Advanced Format drives, but I don't think so. This is how I aligned them. I also have two of these drives in my desktop PC, aligned painstakingly with LVM and RAID, and they're running fine.
I did some speed tests on the individual drives (sdb and sdd). Hdparm -t shows 80 MB/s for sdb and only 30 MB/s for sdd (and the two other drives, two Samsung ones, measure at about 100 MB/s). These results are repeatable. It also shows that it's not an alignment thing, because then hdparm -t would be slow on both drives.
I have been unable to discern any differences that might explain why one of these drives is slower, except that SMART reports the following on the good drive:
Offline data collection status:  (0x82) Offline data collection activity
                                        was completed without error.
                                        Auto Offline Data Collection: Enabled.

And it reports this on the bad drive:
Offline data collection status:  (0x85) Offline data collection activity
                                    was aborted by an interrupting command from host.
                                    Auto Offline Data Collection: Enabled.

The auto offline data collection should run every four hours, but the status message on the bad drive never changes.
I hypothesized that it's this offline collection that causes slowdown, but I am unable to abort it. Smartctl -X doesn't do anything, which makes sense, because the drives do not have the "Abort Offline collection upon new command" capability, according to smartctl -c.
I'm currently running a long self test which hopefully yields something, but in the meantime, I was hoping if anybody knows what might be going on.
Edit: the self test finished, it says it's OK. Turning off automatic offline data collection also didn't help.
And, I just did DD write tests. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=10M yieled 65 MB/s on the good disk and about 15 MB/s on the bad one. There's definitely something wrong.
Edit2: I picked up the drives from the datacenter and connected it to my PC with a USB to SATA converter. Now it works fine...

A: Possibly the cause for significantly decreased performance would be the Automatic Acoustic Management (AAM) - check its status on both drives using hdparm -M and disable it entirely by setting the value to 254.
Also, enabling the write cache on the drives using hdparm -W should be worth trying.
Since you are using Caviar Green drives (which you should not be doing for a Linux RAID setup, honestly) and already are at it, make sure to disable the power saving features, especially the IntelliPark feature.
If nothing helps, it might be a hardware problem indeed - open up an RMA and return the drive to WD.

A: I solved it. It turned out native SATA (AHCI) was not enabled. It works now (Array is synching with 70 MB/s) and read speads are 120 MB/s. Still, that slowness shouldn't happen in legacy mode, but at least it's gone.
I now also have proper NCQ. I used to have non-functional NCQ (dmesg|grep -i ncq: queue 0/32; the zero means the disk supports it, but controller doesn't).

A: Check the partition alignment on 4k sectors.

Q: Angular way of doing javascript getById code I'm working on a migration project from AngularJS to Angular8
where I came across this code
// get the pattern from SVG document and set the stroke color
 var patternElt = $scope.svgDocument.find("#striped");
 patternElt.css("fill", color);
 // apply the striped class to the element
 element.css("fill", "url(#striped)");
 $(zoneClassSelector, element).css("fill", "url(#striped)");

what the above code does is when an element is clicked, it gets a pattern element from an svg file (below) and adds a fill color to it, and then applies it on the clicked DOM element :
<defs>
    <pattern id="striped"
        width="8" height="8"
        patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse"
        patternTransform="rotate(45)">
        <rect width="4" height="8" transform="translate(0,0)"></rect>
    </pattern>
</defs>

In my case in Typescript code I have the following
click($event: MouseEvent) {

let clickedEl = $event.target;
// check if clicked element is not an svg element
if (clickedEl instanceof SVGPolygonElement || clickedEl instanceof SVGPathElement || clickedEl instanceof SVGGElement) {
  this.renderer.setAttribute(clickedEl, "style", "fill:url(#striped);");
}

}
Note: the SVG file is loaded with its path (no SVG xml in the component view to reference)
How could I get the striped  pattern element using Typscript to add a fill color to it before pass it to the renderer setAttribute

A: You can try using document.querySelector()
public fillColor(): void {
  const rectElement: SVGRectElement = document.querySelector('#striped') as SVGRectElement;
  rectElement.style.fill = 'red';
}

<svg (click)="fillColor()">
  <defs>
    <pattern id="Pattern" width=".25" height=".25">
      <rect x="0" y="0" id="striped" width="50" height="50" />
    </pattern>
  </defs>
  <rect fill="url(#Pattern)" width="200" height="200" />
</svg>

A: Any DOM element reference can be obtained through the ViewChild attribute
so in your case, you would have the following:
<pattern #MyReference
    id="striped"
    width="8" height="8"
    patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse"
    patternTransform="rotate(45)">
    <rect width="4" height="8" transform="translate(0,0)"></rect>
</pattern>

Then in your class you would reference the DOM object
@ViewChild('MyReference', { static: false })
MyElem: ElementRef;

You can now do any DOM manipulation utilising this reference, along with the Core Renderer2 library (import into your constructor private renderer: Renderer2).
If however you have a dynamic list of SVG elements loaded, and are looking for a way to get "within" the clicked elements DOM - I would go the route of creating a custom Component that "each" of these then initalises, and have the on click, and element references within here.
This way each component has a singular build pattern, and you don't have to do any parent/sibling DOM traversing.
e.g. (very basic, you'll know what inputs you require)
<ng-container *ngFor="let svg of list">
    <my-custom-component [inputs]="svg"></my-custom-component>
</ng-container>

Then using the above method, each component on click only has the single pattern element reference to manipulate without direct DOM traversing.
It will also keep your on click method quite precise and you don't need to check what was clicked, since only this component will trigger it (no need for global mouse events)
EDIT 1
In seeing the comments, I believe what you could be after is utilising global css variables.
For example, you can do the following in the XML:

Then set your root class to show its selected (on click), for example:
<svg class="selected" >
    <use xlink:href="#" href="#" />
</svg>

Then all you do is change your fill color via CSS to what you are wanting it to show i.e.
.selected pattern
{
   --fill-color:"#123456"
}

If none of these are suitable, might have to update the question a little for understanding sorry

Wyatt Miller cut by New York Jets, picked up by Cincinnati Bengals
Published in Sports
Featured DouglasNow.com file photo Wyatt Miller
Wyatt Miller, the former Trojan and UCF Knight, had a roller coaster weekend. Saturday, he learned the New York Jets, who signed the 6'4", 305-pound offensive lineman as an undrafted free agent following the 2019 NFL Draft, had decided not to keep him on the 53-man roster.
Thinking his football career might be over, he flew home that night, only to find out Sunday morning that the Cincinnati Bengals had signed him to their 53-man roster. So he hopped back on a plane bound for Cincinnati.
According to www.cincyjungle.com, Miller saw 95 snaps in the preseason with the Jets. The site states that the Bengals need offensive line help and are looking to Miller as a potential answer. Miller will begin his career with the Bengals on the practice squad. Last year, practice squad players made $7,900 per week during the season – about $129,000 per year.
Miller, a two-year letterman with the Knights, started all 13 of Central Florida's game last season and made the American Athletic Conference's Second Team. Going into the draft, Miller was projected to be a late-round selection or an undrafted free agent signee.
Miller is the son of Randy Miller and Janie Ricketson Hester.

Q: How to confirm a dead motherboard is the reason why a PC does not power up I have an old PC assembled from components. All of a sudden I cannot turn it on. Nothing except the motherboard strobe light turns on. No fan, no hard disk spin, no nothing. I have unplugged everything except the power cables (ATX24 and 4-pin EATX12V) to the motherboard and fans.
The PSU (Seasonic SS-500HT) seems to be fine because:

*

*The motherboard strobe light stays on.

*All pin out have proper voltages.

*With pin 15-16 shorted, all fans turn on.

The power button is fine as I measured that it properly shorts the output.
Curiously, about 8 seconds after I turn on power, all fans spin quickly (< 1 second) and then stop. This always happens.
Could it be that something on the MB is shorting? Or the MB (Asus P5B) is toasted? Or could it still be that the PSU cannot provide enough wattage?
Thanks for your help!

UPDATE: It turns out that the components are fine. I did the checks mentioned in comments and answer, except that I don't have a spare PSU to isolate the problem. So I made a last ditch attempt to remove everything including the MB and blew compressed air on them, and that cleaned up whatever was causing the problem.

A: In this case you should check both items separately.

*

*Check the PSU alone by shorting the PS_ON (usually green wire) to any one of the black wires (COM). If you have a multimeter, you could check the output of the ATX24 and the EATX12.

*Check the motherboard with another PSU (a working one if possible) to discard a voltage failure in the one you have mounted right now.

As for the fans behaviour, its normal in most of the modern motherboards. When you turn them on they usually check the temperature sensors with the fans at maximum speed and then adjust them accordingly.


Brazilian farmers are in the midst of harvesting their full-season corn crop and AgRural reported that 24% of the corn has been harvested compared to 29% last year and for the 5-year average. The full-season corn harvest is most advanced in Rio Grande do Sul where corn yields have been variable.
Planting of the safrinha corn crop is now the focus of attention in Brazil. AgRural reported that 63% of the safrinha corn has been planted as of last Friday compared to 75% last year and 64% for the 5-year average. Safrinha corn planting in Mato Grosso is doing OK and farmers in Parana made good advances in planting their safrinha corn. AgRural estimates that 3.9 million hectares of safrinha corn will be planted after March 1st.
The safrinha corn in Mato Grosso is 84% planted compared to 86% last year and 92% for the 5-year average. The safrinha corn is 94% planted in the mid-north and in northwestern Mato Grosso. In the state of Parana, the safrinha corn planting increased to 56%. Safrinha corn planting is 58% complete in Goias, 55% in Minas Gerais, 43% in Sao Paulo, and 33% in Mato Grosso do Sul.
The ideal planting windows for safrinha corn in Brazil have long closed and now the question is how long farmers will continue to risk planting their safrinha corn and will they plant all of the intended corn. There have been two positive developments for the safrinha corn. First of all, the weather has been good for the early vegetative development of the safrinha corn that has been planted. There is no shortage of soil moisture for the corn. Secondly, corn prices have been rising steadily since about mid-January and that might encourage Brazilian farmers to plant their safrinha corn later than what they normally would.
It has been reported that this year there will be the most ever safrinha corn planted after March 1st in Brazil. I would agree with that statement especially for the safrinha corn planted outside of the state of Mato Grosso. The "drop dead" date for planting safrinha corn in Mato Grosso is about March 10th. In Parana and southern Mato Grosso do Sul, farmers may still try to plant safrinha corn until about March 15th.
