Election Day Around Las Vegas Valley
Election Day Around the U.S.
There was one man who spoke to the frustrations of the American people like no other this election cycle.
The pundits and prognosticators thought he had no chance. They thought he would never win his first caucus in Iowa. They thought he definitely wouldn't win the Republican nomination. And they were certain that he wouldn't become president.
They were proved wrong Tuesday night, when New York businessman Donald Trump was elected the 45th president of the United States.
A sea of Republican supporters, many of them donning "Make America Great Again" caps, packed into the bar and restaurant in the lobby of Trump's glistening gold skyscraper that towers over the Las Vegas Strip to watch the results of the election roll in. They killed time ordering Miller Lites and cocktails as it initially seemed improbable Trump would win.
But as states were called — from Iowa to Wisconsin — the crowd grew more expectant. They chanted "Trump, Trump, Trump" and called on the president-elect to make good on his promise to "drain the swamp."
The folly for Democrats this election cycle was in underestimating Trump's support from white, middle-class America, coupled with a backlash against the political establishment.
Marty Bennett, 58, said he registered as a Republican for the first time this year and voted for Trump to "end the terror of Democrats," in an interview outside of his polling place in central Las Vegas Tuesday morning. He pointed specifically to the scandals that had marred Clinton's campaign, from her use of a private email server to the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.
"I'm tired of the Democrats and what they've done," Bennett said.
Adding insult to injury for Democrats, Republicans held onto control of both the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives, too.
The one silver lining for Democrats in the whole thing? Nevada.
They won the battle even as they lost the war.
It was a bittersweet night at a Democratic party at the Aria, where 500 or so volunteers and staff gathered to watch the results of the election roll in. If 2014 was the year of the red wave, then 2016 was Nevada's blue wave, with Democrats sweeping offices up and down the ticket.
Despite losing the presidency, Clinton carried Nevada by a narrow, 2-point margin, a testament to the dedication of her staff on the ground, the mobilization of union resources, and a diverse electorate that seemed determined to reject Trump and his rhetoric. Nevadans made history electing former state Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto as the first Latina to the U.S. Senate and state Sen. Ruben Kihuen as the first Latino congressman from Nevada.
Former synagogue leader Jacky Rosen eked out a win over Republican businessman Danny Tarkanian early Wednesday morning. And further down ballot, Democrats took back control of the state Senate and Assembly from Republicans.
"You all told me we were going to turn Nevada blue, and we did," Cortez Masto said in her acceptance speech late Tuesday night. "You should be very proud of what we did in Nevada today."
She also thanked retiring U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, whom she will replace when she takes office in January, for his support throughout the campaign. Reid did not make an appearance at the Democratic watch party Tuesday night, though it was the machine he built that filled the Strip ballroom on election night.
"He has done so much for Nevada," she said. "This Democratic victory here in Nevada is possible because of him. This is his night, too."
So how exactly did Nevada buck the trend of the nation?
For one, Democrats were able to successfully mobilize the Hispanic community.
The night before the election, a largely Hispanic crowd gathered outside a Mexican grocery store in east Las Vegas to hear Los Tigres del Norte, the popular norteño band, pitch them on the importance of voting.
On Friday, hundreds waited in line at a polling site inside that same grocery store, Cardenas Market, for two hours after polls were supposed to close on the final day of early voting. Democratic operatives rushed over, urging voters not to leave before casting their ballots.
It worked. Of the three days that early voting site was open, Friday had the highest turnout, with 1,904 ballots cast. Two-thirds of the total votes cast at Cardenas were by Democrats.
Luz Perez, a 34-year-old preschool teacher from North Las Vegas, was one of those Democrats who voted early for Clinton. She was back at the grocery store on Monday to do some shopping when she saw the rally outside.
"I feel this election is very important for Latinos. A lot of Latinos don't want Donald Trump," Perez said. "Put away all the other stuff he has said about Latinos — we want a president that helps our children to know respect."
When all was said and done, 81 percent of Hispanics swung for Clinton compared to only 16 percent for Trump, according to exit polling conducted by the polling firm Latino Decisions. Hispanic voters accounted for 18 percent of voters in the state.
The Hispanic community was able to make a difference in Nevada in the way it couldn't in a state like Florida, which has a dense concentration of Hispanics in urban Miami but a whiter population scattered across the state, or Arizona, a Republican state where Latinos make up a growing share of the population.
But Clinton's campaign also had the infrastructure to mobilize that diverse electorate to the former secretary of state's advantage. The threads weave back well over a year ago, when Clinton's staff landed on the ground in Nevada essentially as soon as she announced her campaign in April 2015.
The campaign's plan included reaching out early to Hispanic voters in Nevada, a population that has rapidly expanded over the past few decades. They made up about 28 percent of the state's residents last year, up from 20 percent in 2000.
Clinton's campaign recruited a handful of bilingual, Hispanic organizers to reach out directly to the Latino community and build relationships — through cafecitos (small-group outreach), Latino-to-Latino phone banks and neighborhood canvassing. They cultivated bonds with prominent figures in Nevada's Hispanic community, including activist Astrid Silva, one of the best-known Dreamers in the country.
Ahead of Nevada's Democratic caucus in February, Silva and other local Dreamers endorsed Clinton over her opponent in the primary, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. Silva later spoke in support of Clinton at the Democratic National Convention, sharing her story of being smuggled on a raft across the Rio Grande at age 4, and starred in one of Clinton's ads.
By comparison, Trump built his campaign on the promise of building a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border and on deporting the 11 million immigrants in the country without authorization.
"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best," Trump infamously said in his speech announcing his bid for the presidency. "They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."
It was a message that resonated with Americans who believed immigrants were coming to the U.S. and taking away their jobs. It even resonated with some Hispanic voters in Nevada.
At his first Las Vegas rally in October 2015, Trump pulled one of his enthusiastic supporters, Colombian immigrant Myriam Witcher, up onstage. "This is my relationship with Hispanics," Trump told the crowd.
Witcher, who was a frequent fixture at Trump's Las Vegas rallies and local campaign headquarters, liked his message on immigration, saying that she came to the country legally and that others should have to wait their turn.
But for every Witcher, there were many more who felt alienated by Trump's message.
Voter after voter in a largely Hispanic, low-turnout neighborhood in east Las Vegas said they couldn't see themselves supporting Trump when they canvassed late Friday afternoon. A Democratic organizer was out to make sure they would turn up to the polls to support Clinton instead.
Just pulling into her driveway, 38-year-old Maria Ruiz said most of her coworkers at the California Hotel, where she works in the count room, were voting for Trump. But she said she couldn't ever see herself voting for him and that she was excited to vote for Clinton as the first female president.
At another house, 25-year-old Andres Covarrubias, a guest-room attendant at the SLS, said he was going to vote Democratic down the ticket.
"I don't want my people to be deported. I've seen the commercials and all that stuff," Covarrubias said. "I don't really trust him."
House after house, it was the same message.
"She's not going to build the wall," said 56-year-old metalworker Simon Terrazas, about why he was voting for Clinton.
The Hispanic vote was only one piece of the electoral puzzle in Nevada, but it spoke to the sweat Democrats put into preparing for 2016.
Take, for instance, the politically powerful Culinary Union, a critical Democratic organizing force that represents 57,000 hotel workers on the Las Vegas Strip and across the state. To ensure Democrats were elected up and down the ballot, 150 union members in Las Vegas took a leave of absence from their jobs to work as political organizers.
The union also registered more than 34,000 members (60 percent of its membership) to vote, and 52 percent of them cast their ballots in the two-week early voting period before Election Day. The Culinary also ran a series of citizenship drives at the beginning of the year to help more than 2,200 legal residents apply for citizenship in time to vote.
"This is a fight between the rich, powerful people and the working people," said secretary-treasurer Geoconda Arguello-Kline at a canvass kickoff last week. "We want to win. We want to win Ruben, Catherine, Hillary; we want to win everybody."
In total, the union knocked on 350,000 doors before the general election and made contact with 74,000 voters, the majority of whom the union was able to turn out during Nevada's early voting period.
"I think the Culinary Union made the difference in Nevada," said the union's political director Yvanna Cancela late Tuesday night. "Our ability to organize led us to deliver more than we ever have in an election before."
Other progressive groups, like Battle Born Progress, conducted their own get out the vote and canvassing efforts outside of the Democratic Party infrastructure, specifically targeting demographics typically underrepresented in the voter population.
"Here in Nevada we did what we needed to do. We brought it home," said Annette Magnus, executive director of Battle Born Progress. "Progressives got out the vote."
Trump's campaign struggled to match that kind of infrastructure from the beginning. Leading up to the caucus, Trump only had one paid staffer in Nevada, state director Charles Munoz.
With those limited resources, the campaign still managed to put 5,000 people through its caucus and convention training starting late last year, drawing a number of volunteers who were getting involved with a political campaign for the first time.
Trump's campaign relied heavily on the Republican National Committee, with its nine offices and 67 paid staffers in the state, for institutional support. The Trump campaign shuttered its Las Vegas office after the caucus, not to reopen another until late August. Meanwhile, Democrats ran 16 coordinated campaign offices in the state.
All along, Trump's campaign acknowledged the strength of the Democratic machine in Nevada, but promised the enthusiasm of their supporters would take the day.
"This guy's got an army of supporters out there," said former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani stumping for Trump in Las Vegas on Sunday. "We're going to see them turn out on Tuesday in numbers you probably have never seen in Nevada."
Maybe not so in Nevada, but that's exactly what happened across the nation.

Komitet Obrony Górnego Śląska – polska organizacja patriotyczna założona w 1919 w Poznaniu.

Geneza
U przyczyn powstania KOGŚl leży wzmagająca się germanizacja, w zaborze pruskim stworzono w 1913 w Poznaniu ponadpartyjną reprezentację społeczeństwa polskiego tj. Radę Narodową. Po wybuchu I wojny światowej działalność Rady osłabła, po wojnie w 1919 po zwycięstwie powstania wielkopolskiego działalność nabrała rozpędu. Powołano Komitet Pomocy dla Lwowa i Wilna, który po zaognieniu sytuacji w sierpniu 1919 na Górnym Śląsku przekształcono w Komitet Pomocy dla Kresów Wschodnich i Górnego Śląska (tzw. Komitet Kresowy). Po wybuchu I powstania śląskiego powołano Komitet Pomocy dla Górnego Śląska m.in. zbierano pieniądze i werbowano ochotników do udziału w powstaniu. Do 23 września 1919 zebrano 700 tys. marek z poznańskiego i 250 tys. marek z Warszawy od tamtejszego Komitetu Obrony Śląska. W listopadzie 1919 utworzono Komitet Obrony Górnego Śląska.

Władze
W skład władz KOGŚl weszli m.in. Ludwik Mycielski – prezes, Władysław Berkan, Kazimierz Brownsford, Marian Głowacki, M.Kapuścińska, Mieczysław Korzeniewski, Tadeusz Szułdrzyński, Henryk Śniegocki, Ireneusz Wierzejewski, Wincenty Zenkteler.

Struktura organizacyjna KOGŚl
Wydziały: Emigracyjny, Opieki nad Górnoślązakami, Kasy, Kulturalno-Oświatowy, Prasy i Propagandy, Wycieczek.

Działalność
Organizowano wiece poparcia dla ludności polskiej, domagano się od rządu udzielenia pomocy Górnemu Śląskowi, uchwalano rezolucje, ich treść przesyłano Radzie Ministrów oraz Komisariatowi Plebiscytowemu w Bytomiu. Drukowano materiały propagandowe na potrzeby plebiscytowe.

Przewidując przyłączenie Górnego Śląska do Polski organizowano dla uchodźców i emigrantów śląskich różne kursy przygotowujące ich do pracy w urzędach (m.in. dla uchodźców w obozie w Sosnowcu).

Ogółem KOGŚl wspólnie z Polskim Czerwonym Krzyżem dostarczył dla walczącego Śląska 1200 wagonów żywności. Wysłano również broń i amunicję za kwotę 14 mln marek polskich.

Podsumowanie
Po zakończeniu III powstania śląskiego KOGŚl przekazał opiekę nad powstańcami do Naczelnej Komisji Powstańczej w Ostrowie. Następnie działacze KOGŚl zaangażowali się w tworzenie Związku Obrony Kresów Zachodnich przy poparciu m.in. Komitetu Obrony Śląska z Warszawy i Komitetu Pomocy Górnoślązakom z Kalisza.

Wetherby invests £200,000 in environmental initiatives!
Wetherby Building Systems, the leading provider of solid wall insulation, is expecting to see its carbon footprint reduced by at least 40% following an investment of more than £200,000 in new environmental initiatives over the last 12 months.
With a mission statement of 'creating a greener future', Wetherby is already committed to operating as a sustainable business as much as possible and has further enhanced its environmental credentials by implementing activities that will help to reduce its energy consumption, increase its recycling output and save carbon emissions.
ECO replacement MUST protect vunerable homeowners!
On the day George Osborne delivered the Autumn Statement, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) released the winter mortality figures for 2014 / 2015, which sadly made for very grim reading.
More than 43,000 excess winter deaths occurred in 2014 / 2015, the highest number in 15 years, with 27% more people dying in winter months compared to non-winter months. One of the greatest concerns was that the majority of these deaths occurred in people over the age of 75, with cold homes a key factor in the cause of deaths.
Poor insulation and high energy prices mean many people will be cold, says Age UK – and support is inadequate.
The government must take "urgent action" to protect older homeowners from the potentially deadly consequences of living in a cold home, a report given exclusively to The Observer claims.
On 18th and 19th November, 3,000 housing professionals will descend on London Olympia for Homes 2015, the UK's only dedicated national event for building and building homes, creating dynamic and sustainable communities and delivering value for money.

Live Pong und Push Pong are generative Max for Live sequencers inspired by Batuhan Bozkurt's excellent Otomata Generative Musical Sequencer. By clicking in the square area when Live is running, cells are generated which will create notes whenever they reach the outer grid area.
When I played around with Live Pong, I found assigning notes to the outer grid a bit tedious. I recommend ignoring it and instead adding a Scale effect in your preferred key right after Live Pong or Push Pong. That way its use was real fun and has actually yielded a new song idea.
If you press the pads when Live is running, cells are generated that produce notes when they reach the outer grid area to push (top and bottom row, left and right columns).

Discovering invisible causes behind the visible world
B ell experiments demonstrate (within the limits of a few rather eccentric loopholes) nonlocal correlations between space-like separated events, which cannot be explained by means of relativistic influences bounded by the velocity of light. This means that one has to give up the view that the outcomes at each part of the setup result from properties preexisting in the particles before measurement: outcomes in Alice's (respectively Bob's) lab cannot be explained by the properties the photon carries when leaving the source and the settings of Alice's (respectively Bob's) measuring devices.
The before-before or Suarez-Scarani experiment demonstrates that these nonlocal correlations cannot be explained in terms of "before" and "after", by time-ordered nonlocal influences. Giving up the concept of locality is not sufficient to be consistent with quantum experiments, one has to give up nonlocal determinism, i.e. the view that one event occurring before in time can be considered the cause, and the other occurring later in time the effect. The time-notion makes sense only in the domain of the relativistic local phenomena. The nonlocal correlations cannot be explained by any history in spacetime, they come from outside spacetime. This experimental result upholds the Copenhagen or orthodox interpretation of Quantum Mechanics.
The single-photon space-like antibunching experiment (proposed 2010 and completed 2012) demonstrates that the most fundamental principle ruling the material world, the conservation of energy, requires nonlocal coordination of detection outcomes, i.e., non-material agency from outside space-time. Additionally, the experiment is a natural and most direct demonstration of nonlocality in a context where the violation of Bell inequalities cannot be used as a criterion for establishing nonlocality. In this sense, the experiment highlights the fact that the principle of nonlocality rules the whole of quantum physics and the material world emerges from non-material features.
The single-photon space-like Michelson-Morley experiment (proposed 2014) combines the "Single-photon space-like antibunching" experiment (2012) and the original "Michelson-Morley" one (1887). The experiment demonstrates that Quantum Physics and Relativity imply each other; you can't have one without the other. Additionally it allows us to explain how to unify quantum and relativistic correlations, and quantize the spacetime.
Through these and many other experiments in the past years we have reached a better understanding of what nolocality means: "that quantum correlations happen without the flow of time", "that quantum correlations come from outside spacetime", "that spacetime does not contain the whole of physical reality", "that quantum phenomena cannot be explained exclusively by material principles". And we understand better the relationship between quantum physics and relativity: "spacetime is quantized or granular", "even relativistic correlations have to be considered as coming from outside spacetime". It is not necessary to have the psi ability of "precognition" to see that results proving that "quantum phenomena come from outside spacetime", "conservation of energy requires non-material agency", and "spacetime itself comes from outside spacetime" define a new era in science. In fact, they support the view that non-material principles can steer the material world.
The Center for Quantum Philosophy, based in Zurich and Geneva, aims at wide-spreading these discoveries, and to stimulate the discussion about their cultural and philosophical implications. In particular, the view that the visible world is governed by invisible, non-material principles can prove useful in tackling anthropological issues like "human free-will and consciousness", "personal identity", "definition of death", "beginning of the human being", "origin of humanity".

I want to start a collaborative project of documenting writing during altered states of mind–i.e. mania or psychosis–by posting the products of such states and moods and creating a discussion around them. I want to see what insights such a process can yield. I am going to post a sample of my own manic writing and then proceed to do a short write-up on the pages themselves. I want to encourage others to do likewise to discover what we can collectively understand in exploring this prolific genre of frantic writing! Feel free–as a potential contributor–to also include other diagrams, thoughts, or drawings to start mapping out and identifying the contents of the mentally aware mind in action–i.e. our mindscapes as they present themselves otherwise/otherworldly in emergence into altered states and renewed perceptions. The sheer joy of this experiment manifests by allowing and offering these opportunities of self-refinement and intellectual and emotional growth to us as we move towards fluid control of our own selves, lives, and worldviews as each of us presses for advantage and enlightenment.

Q: DataTemplate.DataTriggers not found? A pretty strange thing happens when trying to use DataTemplate.DataTriggers in my XAML for Windows 8 Metro app.
In my App.xaml, I am defining template for my data. I'd like to use the DataTriggers, but when I type it my VS2012 editor, I get errors stating that

The attachable property 'DataTriggers' was not found in type 'DataTemplate'.

and

The member "DataTriggers" is not recognized or is not accessible.

A similar issue happens when I try to set the DataType property for DataTemplate:

The property 'DataType' was not found in type 'DataTemplate'.

What am I missing here? The DataTemplate works fine without these things, but still it would be much easier for me to use them in my project. Here a short snippet of my XAML:
<DataTemplate x:Key="MyTemplate" >
            <Grid HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="450" Height="100">
                <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                    <RowDefinition/>
                    <RowDefinition/>
                    <RowDefinition/>
                </Grid.RowDefinitions>
                <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                    <ColumnDefinition Width="10" />
                    <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
                    <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
                </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <Rectangle Grid.Row="0" Grid.RowSpan="3" Stretch="UniformToFill" Width="10">
                    <Rectangle.Fill>
                        <SolidColorBrush Color="#FF425400" />
                    </Rectangle.Fill>
                </Rectangle>
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Title}" Style="{StaticResource TitleTextStyle}" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2"   />
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Teaser}" Style="{StaticResource SubtitleTextStyle}"  Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1"  Grid.ColumnSpan="2"/>
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Content}" Style="{StaticResource BasicTextStyle}" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="2"  />
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding TimeDesc}" Style="{StaticResource BasicTextStyle}" Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="2"  />
            </Grid>
            <DataTemplate.DataTriggers>

            </DataTemplate.DataTriggers>
        </DataTemplate>

A: Triggers are only available in WPF, and not on any of the other XAML platforms. Common alternatives are VisualStates, converters, or making changes from code.

Making a case for less-customized marketing content
Written by Bill Gerba
It's been a while since I wrote about making effective digital signage content, and in fact these days I don't get the opportunity to focus in on content strategy with clients nearly as often as I'd like. And that's a shame, since even after a decade of considerable growth (I think it's fair to say that digital signage in nearly all forms is solidly in the "mature" section of the technology catalog) I frequently come across signs in serious need of improvement. In just the past few weeks I've noticed a half dozen offenders, ranging from QSR menu boards to corporate lobby screens. But the real catalyst for this post came from research house eMarketer, who noted that even in 2016 lowly email marketing outperformed the more fashionable social media and paid search industries. Perhaps most interestingly of all, the humble one-size-fits-all email newsletter was still found to be the workhorse of the industry, offering a greater return per dollar than far more elaborate hypertargeted mailings. In light of the fact that marketing automation platforms these days will slice and dice content into dozens or hundreds of different forms in an attempt to best fit each recipient, that's pretty telling, especially as it flies in the face of the conventional wisdom in the digital signage arena.
The drive toward automating content production on digital signage networks is nothing new. I remember listening to Jeff Porter (a longtime VP at Scala) give a presentation on the subject well over a decade ago, and since then the barrier to entry for auto-generated content has fallen shortly. For large networks the need to automatically customize content playback can be particularly important, since it quickly becomes unwieldy (and expensive) to create, catalog, organize and deploy multiple variations of even a simple piece of content. Tech companies were quick to answer the call, and today there are hundreds of solutions on the market that will ingest your data inputs and spit out as many different output variations as you care to make. This kind of wrote work is exactly the type that benefits from automation, after all.
That said, while "delivering the right content at the right place and time to the right audience" has been the mantra of the digital signage (and now, mobile) advertising worlds for as long as they've existed, it's unclear exactly how beneficial it is. There seems to be general agreement that some amount of customization does indeed boost the performance of out-of-home ads. There's no point in advertising snow tires in Florida, after all. And far on the other end of the spectrum we have things like AdWords and Facebook ads that hyper-target to your specific interests based on an exhaustive analysis of your online browsing habits. While there's no denying these programs do astonishingly well for Google and Facebook, it's less clear whether they're as effective as they're purported to be (case in point: in 2016 global CPG giant Procter & Gamble phased out their Facebook ads program citing lack of effectiveness). And there have definitely been anecdotal cases of people opting out of Facebook entirely because the ads have gotten "too creepy" (something that I actually touched on waaaaay back in 2009 in an article discussing digital signage and the uncanny valley).
Remember this diagram?
I continue to read about new tech developments in face recognition, beaconing, etc. that put a lot of stock in being able to show a highly-targeted spot to a specific person as they make their way about in the real world. At one point in time, this seemed like a pretty good idea to me. Now, though, I'm in the same boat as the email marketers mentioned earlier on. If I had to, I'd bet that quality content that follows many of our best practices for digital signage content and has high production value will work better (and be more cost effective) than content that bends over backwards to hypertarget to a very small group of people (or even just an individual). I don't expect that we'll ever see a well-controlled test of this theory given how ridiculously expensive it would be (and paradoxically how spendthrift networks can be when it comes to making content), but if the companies like P&G have difficulty getting hypertargeting to work online, I have to imagine that the vast majority of brands advertising on digital signage networks will suffer the same fate in their much less forgiving real-world settings.

Ambode inaugurates Council of Traditional Rulers in Lagos
Lagos Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode on Monday inaugurated an 82-Member Council of Traditional Rulers with a charge to partner government and justify the confidence reposed in them.
Inaugurating the Council in Alausa, Ikeja, Ambode urged the traditional rulers to continue to address anti-social behaviour in their communities and be at the forefront of the state's tourism campaign.
He said by law, the Council of Obas and Chiefs was to advise the governor on chieftaincy matters and any other matter of public policy concerning traditional rulers or any other class of chiefs.
"It is also to advise the governor on matters relating to customary laws or cultural affairs, inter-communal relations and maintenance of public order in the state,'' Ambode.
Ambode said the new Council was coming at a time of momentous changes in the evolution of the state, especially with the efforts by his Administration to ensure that every community felt government's presence.
"Our government has immense regard for all our royal fathers and traditional rulers, and we will always welcome advice from them to ensure social harmony and ensure peaceful coexistence.
"The most important ingredient for development in the state is peace and security, and you all have an important role to play in this regard," he said.
"As custodians of the culture and tradition of our people, our royal father's should also be at the forefront of our tourism campaign.
"A significant aspect of tourism is our culture and historical science which falls under your jurisdiction.
"This must be showcased to the world and our government is channelling a lot of resources to regenerate the environment and creation of tourist hubs across the state.
"This project requires your support and cooperation,'' the governor said.
Ambode restated that traditional institution of kingship in the society regardless of the advent of modernity remained the rallying point for the generality of all the people.
"It has been serving as a veritable vehicle for the dissemination of government policies, programmes and mobilisation of the populace," he said.
He commended the dissolved Council for serving the state with high sense of patriotism during their five year tenure.
The Council being chaired by Oba Rilwan Akiolu of Lagos has a membership of traditional rulers from across the five Divisions of the state.
Responding, Akiolu said they would continue to contribute to the progress of the state, especially in the area of security, sanitation and development.

It is enforced by law that a real estate appraiser is required to be state-licensed to produce appraisals for federally-related property purchases in Florida. You also have the right to receive a copy of the finished appraisal from your lending agency. Contact our professional staff if you have any questions about the appraisal procedure.
Fact: It might be that Florida, like most states, supports the suggestion that the assessed value equates to the market value; however, this is sometimes the exception rather than the rule. Often when interior remodeling has been done and the assessor is not aware of the improvement or other houses in the Valrico have not been reassessed for a good length of time, it may vary wildly.
Myth: The opinion of value of a property will change depending upon if the appraisal is conducted for the buyer or the seller.
Fact: There is no real interest on the part of the appraiser in the outcome of the analysis, therefore he will complete his work with impartiality and independence, no matter for whom the appraisal is conducted.
Fact: Without any influence from any outside parties to buy or sell, market value is what a willing buyer would pay a willing seller for a particular house. If the home were reconstructed, the dollar amount necessary to do so would set the replacement cost.
Myth: Specific methods, like the price per square foot, are the ways appraisers use to come to the price of a property.
Fact: Appraisers make a comprehensive analysis of all factors pertaining to the cost of a property, including its location, condition, size, proximity to facilities and recent costs of comparable houses.
Myth: In a powerful economy - when the values of properties in a given county are reported to be appreciating by a particular percentage - the worth of individual properties in the area can be expected to rise by that same percentage.
Fact: All appreciation of worth is on an individual basis, found by information on relevant elements and the data of comparable houses. It makes no difference if the economy is powerful or terrible.

Contact Appraisal Services of Brandon, Inc .
Myth: Just seeing what the home looks like on the outside gives a good idea of its worth.
Fact: Property value is concluded by a multitude of variables, including - but not limited to - location, condition, improvements, amenities, and market trends. There's no real way to get all of this information from just examining the property from the outside.
Myth: Because the consumer is the person who provides the funding to pay for the appraisal report when applying for a loan for any real estate transaction, legally the appraisal is theirs.
Fact: Unless a lending agency releases its vestment in the report, it is legally owned by the lending agency that purchased the appraisal. Consumers have to be supplied with a version of the document through request due to the Equal Credit Opportunity Act.
Myth: Consumers need not worry about what is in their appraisal so long as it exceeds the requirements of their lending institution.
Fact: A home buyer should definitely look through their appraisal; there might be some questions or some concerns about the accuracy of the appraisal that need to be addressed. Remember, this is probably the most expensive and important investment a consumer will ever make. An appraisal report can double as a record for the future, as it contains a great deal of information - including, but certainly not limited to the legal and physical description of the property, square footage measurements, list of comparable properties in the neighborhood, neighborhood description and a narrative of current real-estate activity and/or market trends in the vicinity.
Myth: There is no reason to hire an appraiser unless you are trying to get an estimate of the cost of a property during a sales transaction involving a lending company.
Fact: Appraisers can have many varied qualifications and designations which allow them to perform a series of different services including - but not limited to - advice on estate planning, tax assessment, zoning, dispute resolution in many different legal situations and cost analysis.
Fact: A home inspection report has a completely different purpose than an appraisal report. The appraiser forms an opinion of value in the appraisal process and resulting appraisal. A home inspector analyzes the condition of the home and its major components and reports these findings.

A number of dating services are exploring adding VoIP to their offerings as it makes perfect sense to allow people to prospective dates to speak with each other and not give out their phone numbers. For dating services, VoIP is just another moneymaker but if you buy into my ideas about us being on the verge of new paradigms in VoIP which I call VoIP 2.0, you will see that VoIP allows a number of totally new business models to emerge.
I read an article today titled Single and Skype? If you're lookin' for love, read on in which Russel Shaw discusses Jyve, an online community of Skype users. Here is a case of a business model evolving from a successful p2p network. This totally changes the way services providers should be looking at their networks and further illustrates there are so many ways to generate revenue beyond per-minute telephony.
In February 2001 we had a keynote at Internet Telephony Conference & Expo from John "Joc" Jacquay where among telling the audience that VCs were no better than parasites, he introduced us to broadband telephony, the concept of portable ATA devices and more importantly he mentioned that the investors in his company, Pagoo, were also investors in Napster. The idea he implied was to connect Napster users (who were mostly on broadband connections) together so they could talk to one another on what would become Pagoo service.
Obviously Vonage popularized this idea but it is interesting to note that the number one competitor to Napster became Kazaa and the same person who co-founded Kazaa also invented Skype. Joc's predictions kind of came true but Napster became Kazaa and Pagoo became Skype.
Joc also went on to say in his keynote that he was part of the launch of MCI "Friends and Family," which as he put it, was the first instance of selling telephony as a bundled offering. The audience was then reminded of how this MCI program was very successful and we could all learn from it. He was right.
Back in August of 2000 I wrote about my experiences using Napster and having someone contact me as I was downloading a song from their computer. I wrote about how virtual communities were being developed around people with similar musical tastes.
These thoughts, ideas, articles and keynotes come together so nicely now in that they show the power of using the Internet and in this case VoIP to build communities of interest. While it seems infinitely more logical for VoIP to be added to the toolset that allows you to interact with the community... You can also add the community to VoIP as is the case with Jyve. There is no reason these same types of communities can't spring up on other service provider networks but there will come a time soon when we will need to worry about interoperability. When this problem is really solved, we will be able to really have large communities of like-minded people, dating, collaborating and improving themselves.


This paper shows the position regulation system problem of Synchronous Reluctance Motor(SRM) subject to parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. A novel fractional second-order nonsingular terminal Multisegment sliding mode control (F2NTMSMC) is proposed and the finite time stability of the closed-loop system is ensured. For the estimation and feedforward compensation for the lumped disturbances of SRM, a multisegment sliding mode disturbance observer is developed (MSMDO). The combined control scheme of F2NTMSMC and MSMDO can not only improve performance of the system but also reduce the chattering problem quickly. Developed simulation Results show that proposed control method is strongly robustness and also attain satisfactory position tracking performance as well as deal with the various uncertainty of the system.

School bus driver in New York arrested for driving drunk with students onboard
by: WROC Staff and Nexstar Media Wire
FILE – Yellow School Bus in a District Lot Waiting to Depart
GATES, N.Y. (WROC) — A school bus driver in Gates, New York faces multiple criminal charges after she was found to be driving with a blood alcohol content higher than the legal limit – with students onboard.
According to a release from the Gates-Chili Central School District, "unusual activity and an unauthorized stop" Friday morning prompted school officials to contact police to investigate.
It was then determined that the bus driver was operating the vehicle with a blood alcohol level over the New York state legal limit. The bus driver's name has not yet been released.
There were six students on the bus, according to district officials. They say the driver will be charged with five counts of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol with a person under the age of 16 in the vehicle.
Officials say the driver will likely faces additional charges.
A statement from the school district said in part:
"The safety of students and employees is the district's top priority, and we are very grateful that no one was harmed as a result of this individual's actions. The families of the students who were on the bus have already been notified. As a result, if you have not been notified, then it was not your child's bus or bus driver involved in this situation.
We are very sorry that these students and families in this community have been impacted by the unfathomable actions of one person. Please remember this was an act of one employee. The district is proud of its bus drivers and their safety record of transporting thousands of students each day without incident. Out of an abundance of caution, the district is taking time to review safety protocols with all drivers.
School district officials want to thank the Gates Police Department and its officers for their swift action in apprehending this individual."

Description: New era of a legend. A brand new bright and fresh addition to our board range, we are proud to introduce the Raptor LTD Neon.

Mark Twain once wrote a hilarious short story ("Political Economy") about falling victim to a lightning-rod salesman and ending up with a house that was a virtual magnet for thunderbolts. E. E. "Doc" Smith began his Vortex Blasters sf series with a tragic but similar event, where a configuration of protective devices led inadvertently to a disaster it was designed to avoid.
But in real life, wouldn't it be deliciously ironic if strobes on top of school buses, installed as a safety measure, turned out to distract nearby drivers and thereby cause rather than prevent accidents? And what if pop-ups or flashing-banner Internet advertisements, through an indirect chain of events, triggered the collapse of any company that paid to push them into people's faces? Or if spammers and telemarketers were to lose their veil of privacy and find themselves subject to constant personal intrusion, day and night?

Q: Content Slider Issues javascript Ok everyone so I'm trying to make a visual code like www.gamespot.com. I have a show/hide/toggle function for each div.
jsFiddle
Javascript:

Ok and the html i am using for each div is

Page 1

and what this does is when it mouseOver togglesRow 'sect' and i have multiple of these ////\ javascript codes, four i believe, to call each different div. Problem is the style="display:none;" makes it so there is no image at all. What I'd like to is make it so when it mouses out of sect or Page1 it stays on that until mouseover page2 or anyother page...how do i do this?

A: ok i got everything to work. What I did was delete the
} else {
    hideRow(mainsect)
}

Which was making it hide everytime mouse over function was called on even if the div was already opened which i did not want. So then in turn created the a hrefs like this

Page 1

everything is working fine and dandy. Though while in a jsfiddle it does not work, so trying to figure more out.

The Sympathizer
by Viet Thanh Nguyen
It is April 1975, and Saigon is in chaos. At his villa, a general of the South Vietnamese army is drinking whiskey and, with the help of his trusted captain, drawing up a list of those who will be given passage aboard the last flights out of the country. The general and his compatriots start a new life in Los Angeles, unaware that one among their number, the captain, is secretly observing and reporting on the group to a higher-up in the Viet Cong. The Sympathizer is the story of this captain: a man brought up by an absent French father and a poor Vietnamese mother, a man who went to university in America, but returned to Vietnam to fight for the Communist cause. A gripping spy novel, an astute exploration of extreme politics, and a moving love story, The Sympathizer explores a life between two worlds and examines the legacy of the Vietnam War in literature, film, and the wars we fight today.

Q: Why is this call of len(s) so slow? According to this answer, the call len(s) has a complexity of O(1).
Then why is it, that calling it on a downloaded 27kb file so much slower than on a 1kb file?
27kb
>>> timeit.timeit('x = len(r.text)', 'from requests import get; r = get("https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/280190011918254081/293010649754370048/Journal.170203183244.01.log")', number = 20)
5.78126864130499

1kb
>>> timeit.timeit('x = len(r.text)', 'from requests import get; r = get("https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/280190011918254081/293016636288663562/Journal.170109120508.01.log")', number = 20)
0.00036539355403419904

The problem is, that this example ran on my dev-machine, which is a normal work pc. The machine where the code should run on is a RaspberryPi, which is orders of magnitude slower.

A: Try assigning r.text to a local variable during your setup phase. It's a lazy property, not a plain attribute, and you're timing the work of constructing the value, which decodes from the internally cached bytes to str, not just the len call.
Hat tip to Martijn Pieters for the precise references!

Wenzhou government succeeds at demolishing Salvation Church's cross on third attempt
(Wenzhou, Zhejiang—Aug. 19, 2014) Authorities in China's coastal Zhejiang province successfully demolished the cross topping Salvation Church on their third attempt early Thursday morning.
"[The cross] was demolished [Thursday] between 3-6:30 a.m.," a Salvation Church member named Zhang said.
"The [government] sealed the roads," another worshipper said. When asked how many people the government sent to demolish the cross, the worshipper said there were more than 100 government agents.
Authorities began trying to demolish the Wenzhou-based Salvation Church's cross in early July. The second time they attempted to remove the cross, on July 21, police injured more than 60 Christians who were guarding the cross. At least 14 of those believers were sent to a hospital for treatment (see http://www.chinaaid.org/2014/07/christians-hospitalized-after-wenzhou.html and http://www.chinaaid.org/2014/07/14-receive-significant-injuries-in.html).
One of the injured believers was Zhang Zhimin, who suffered a skull fracture, a broken nose and a broken brow ridge. Zhang underwent an operation to correct one of his injuries and returned home on Thursday.
"I know the cross was demolished yesterday," Zhang said when speaking to China Aid on Friday. "Many [Christian] brothers and sisters went to see the demolition of the cross, but I don't know the exact number…because their operation last night was secretive, and many brothers and sisters didn't know [of] the demolition until after it was demolished.
"When many brothers and sisters see the cross demolished, they are certainly very pained at heart," Zhang said. "Even now,
many of them are still very sad, as if their hearts were dug out by other people.
"They are continuing demolishing the crosses. As [for] how many crosses they are going to demolish, we are still not very clear. Now, they are taking people into custody everywhere. If someone comes to guard the cross, they will find a reason to take him into custody. The government is very mean in their methods, and they can do anything imaginable," Zhang said.
Zhang told China Aid that authorities in Pingyang County, Wenzhou, where the church is located, have detained more than 10 people, including the church's pastor, Huang Yizi, and other church staff members. Huang was placed under criminal detention on suspicion of "gathering a crowd to assault a state agency" (see http://www.chinaaid.org/2014/07/summons-notices-increase-with-zhejiang.html and http://www.chinaaid.org/2014/08/wenzhou-christians-detained-others.html).
Zhang said that, at this time, the detained "dare not hire lawyers."
"The [government] wants to demolish the cross. What can we do about it?" one Christian said. "The government would certainly not let the matter drop. Even if we don't agree to let them demolish it, what can we do? If we engage in business in the future, they will certainly put you on their blacklist."
In addition to the persecution of Salvation Church, Zengshan Christian Church, located in a village in Wenzhou, had the electricity cut off by authorities in an attempt to coerce the church into demolishing the cross themselves on Friday. Local believers said they fear that a forced cross demolition looms in Zengshan Christian Church's future.
In Hangzhou, Zhejiang's provincial capital, the city's largest church, Gulou Church, was forcibly demolished on Wednesday by about 100 government employees while more than 200 church members stood by singing hymns and praying in hopes of stopping the demolition.

HWCA is comprised of the Chief Executives (or their representatives) of the peak bodies responsible for the regulation of workers compensation in Australia and New Zealand. This includes Australia's ten workers' compensation authorities (six States, two Territories and two Commonwealth) and the New Zealand Accident Compensation Corporation.


In the early 1990s, Mackenzie Thorpe set the art world alight and that flame is still burning as brightly as ever. A global art phenomenon, he has reached out across every conceivable boundary by drawing on the universal themes that unite us all; love and isolation, life and death, joy and sorrow, despair and hope.
Mackenzie is credited with changing the face of art publishing in the UK and he has created one of the most recognisable and acclaimed oeuvres in contemporary art. His considerable following includes the author JK Rowling and HM Queen Elizabeth II and his original paintings, published works and sculpture are held in private and corporate collections across the globe. His collectors come from all walks of life and include famous names from the worlds of sport, music, film, politics and royalty. He has also undertaken many prestigious commissions for clients ranging from The Andre Agassi Foundation and the Elton John Aids Foundation to Princess Anne and William Hague.
His journey from dyslexic child ostracised by his peers to international artist exhibiting worldwide has been both extraordinary and inspirational. Born into a working class family in Middlesbrough, struggling through school with an undiagnosed learning difficulty and doing manual work in the local shipyard by the age of 15, Mackenzie defied the expectations of society with a combination of pioneering style and unbridled passion.
After seeing a film about Van Gogh he began to wonder whether he could transform his dream of being an artist into a reality. His portfolio of work won him a place at art college and he went on to complete a fine art degree in London. Married and with a family to support, he taught art for a while, then moved to Richmond, North Yorkshire where he and his wife opened an art materials shop.
He began to show his work in the window and over time this ever changing art display began to make an impact. As the paintings sold, word began to spread and soon he had a British manager and an American publisher in his corner. His images began to appear on calendars and greetings cards and demand spread like wildfire - the unstoppable force that is Mackenzie Thorpe had emerged out of the shadows.

Rancher of Nevada and Santa Clara Valley
SURNAMES: MELSON, SMITH, TRUMAN, AYER, BARBER, BARDOE,
(deceased) was born in Fayette County, Ohio, on the twenty-eighth day of May, 1809. His parents, Lemuel and Jerusha V. (Melson) Evans, were of Welsh decent, and were among the earliest settlers of Ohio. The subject of this sketch spent his youth upon a farm, and was early inured to the toils and hardships of a frontier life, receiving only such education as was afforded by the meager schools of that date. He started out in life for himself quite young, and became a farmer, stock-raiser, and drover in the earliest settlements of Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri.
He married, April 13, 1837, Miss Cavy Smith, the daughter of Samuel and Cavy Smith, of Morgan County, Ohio.
The gold excitement of 1849 influenced Mr. Evans to make the long and dangerous trip to this State, and accordingly in that year he started overland with his family. Reaching Placer County during the next year, Mr. Evans engaged in mining, until, in the spring of 1851, he went to Yuba County, where he established a general merchandise store and hotel. He had successfully conducted these enterprises for a year or more, when his restless disposition prompted a change. He went back upon the plains, and again took up his former business of cattle drover and trader among the emigrants. He bought from them their worn, tired, and often half-starved stock, which he drove to the " sink " of the Humboldt, where he recruited them, and then drove them into California.
This enterprise, with various others, occupied his attention until the spring of 1853, when he came to Santa Clara County, where he rented land and put in a crop for the coming harvest. This venture proved to be a successful one, and in the fall of the same year he purchased a tract of land—five hundred acres in extent—about one and one-half miles east of Milpitas. Here began a useful, active life of thirty years in this county, although during the time he was also largely interested in stock-raising, in Nevada, where he established two large stock ranches, upon one of which his son, Francis, lived for seven years. His sons are now extensively interested in stock-raising in that State, an industry which, under their capable management, has grown to large proportions. The extensive Santa Clara homestead is principally devoted to the production of grain and hay, and the raising of stock, among which may be found some thoroughbred trotting stock of the "Almont" breed.
Of the nine children born to Mr. and Mrs. Evans, seven are living: viz., Francis M., who married Miss Lydia Truman, daughter of Marcus and Rebecca Truman, of Santa Clara County; America E., the wife of Samuel F. Ayer (a sketch of whose life appears in this volume); Sarah C., who married R. S. Barber, a resident of this county; John A., residing on the old homestead ; William L., Aaron S., and Reese T. (who married Miss Annie Bardoe, of Santa Clara County), all living in Nevada. The oldest son, Francis Evans, with his family resides on the old homestead. His family comprises the following-named children: Lillie May, Nellie, George L., Annie T., Lizzie R., and Josiah.
The subject of our sketch was a man who was well known throughout this county, and was universally esteemed and respected by his neighbors and associates. His energy and ambition won for him the prosperity and position which is not always accorded to men who start in life with much more favorable circumstances on their side than did Mr. Evans. In his death, which occurred April 1, 1883, his family lost a kind protector and friend, while the community lost one of its solid men and most respected citizens.

Download this Press Release PDF Format (opens in new window) ()
BRIDGEWATER, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company") (NYSE:AMRX) and Kashiv BioSciences LLC ("Kashiv") today announced they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC ("Amneal"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, will acquire a 98% interest in Kashiv Specialty Pharmaceuticals, LLC ("Kashiv Specialty"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kashiv focused on the development of complex generics, innovative drug delivery platforms and novel 505(b)(2) drugs.
"The acquisition of Kashiv Specialty aligns strongly with our Amneal 2.0 growth strategy which we expect will deliver substantial value for our Specialty and Generics businesses," said Chirag Patel, Co-Chief Executive Officer. "With this acquisition, Amneal will gain an exciting pipeline of valuable 505(b)2 branded products primarily in neurology and endocrinology, where we have a well-established commercial infrastructure, as well as a valuable pipeline of complex generics. Additionally, the transaction enhances our R&D expertise with the addition of the Kashiv Specialty team and its impressive track record in developing complex generic products (e.g. Yuvafem and EluRyng) and innovative drug delivery technologies."
"Kashiv Specialty's platform of modified-release delivery technologies and pipeline of Specialty programs are extraordinary," said Chintu Patel, Co-Chief Executive Officer. "As you know, the focus of Amneal's Specialty strategy has been to leverage known molecules with novel delivery mechanisms to improve efficacy and reduce side effects for patients. This transaction will double our pipeline of branded neurology and endocrinology programs and position us to launch at least one Specialty product per year beginning in 2023. It will also provide us with a robust technology platform and in-house engine for driving organic Specialty growth for years to come.
"At the same time, we expect the transaction will be financially accretive by approximately $15 million of adjusted EBITDA on an annualized basis due to termination of the current royalty arrangement and reallocation of our historical level of R&D investment," continued Chintu Patel. "We are excited about the momentum we are building in support of our Amneal 2.0 growth vision. Over the coming weeks, we look forward to beginning pre-integration planning and securing the necessary regulatory approvals to complete this transaction."
"Our management and scientists are excited to be a part of Amneal Pharmaceuticals," stated Dr. Navnit Shah, President and Chief Scientific Officer of Kashiv Specialty. "Kashiv Specialty has helped Amneal develop many high value, complex generic products, and possesses tremendous know how and patented novel technologies for developing complex generic and specialty products. Going forward, Amneal will provide valuable strategic, operational, and infrastructure support for the rapid development and commercialization of our specialty portfolio, which consists of differentiated 505(b)2 products that will serve patient needs in neurology and endocrinology and provide significant organic growth for Amneal."
Terms of the Transaction
Under the terms of the transaction, Amneal will pay an upfront purchase price comprised of (i) a cash payment of $70 million at the closing of the Acquisition, which is subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments, and (ii) a cash payment of $30 million at the one-year anniversary of the execution of the purchase agreement. Kashiv is also eligible to receive up to an additional $8 million in contingent payments upon the achievement of certain regulatory milestones. In addition to the foregoing contingent payments, the Company has agreed to pay Kashiv certain royalty payments equal to an escalating percentage (from high single-digits to mid double-digits, depending on the net sales amount) of aggregate annual net sales for certain pharmaceutical products.
The acquisition is a related party transaction. Accordingly, the Conflicts Committee of the Company's Board of Directors evaluated the transaction together with its advisors, and negotiated and approved the terms of the purchase agreement and the limited liability company agreement of Kashiv Specialty, which will become effective as of the closing of the transaction.
The transaction will be financed with cash on hand and is expected to be consummated in the second quarter of 2021, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including clearance under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act.
RBC Capital Markets, LLC is serving as financial advisor to the Conflicts Committee of the Company's Board of Directors.

Medicinal Benefits of Lemon Tea

Lemon juice and tea pair so well. The tasty combination is a calorie-free alternative to sugary drinks like soda, bottled juices and energy drinks. And whether you like lemon tea hot or cold, the beverage is a delicious source of hydration. Easy to prepare, lemon tea offers various medicinal benefits.
A Vitamin C Boost
The juice of one lemon wedge has 2.3 milligrams of vitamin C, or ascorbic acid. This counts toward the daily recommended intake of 90 milligrams for men and 75 milligrams for women. As an antioxidant, vitamin C fights free radicals, which are molecules that can damage DNA. Free radicals may encourage the development of cancer, cardiovascular disease and other diseases related to oxidative stress. Vitamin C is also needed for healthy immune function and collagen synthesis. Collagen is a structural protein that's necessary for wound healing and strong skin tissue. Our bodies can't make vitamin C, so it's important to get enough through the diet.
A Bit of Potassium
Lemon tea offers some potassium, with the juice of one lemon wedge giving 6 milligrams. Men and women need 4,700 milligrams of potassium each day, but in Western diets, low potassium intake is common. This can increase the negative effects of high-salt intake and, in turn, the risk of high blood pressure. While lemon tea has a small amount of potassium, it still contributes to your overall intake.
Anticancer Activity
Lemon contains a flavonoid called quercetin. This powerful antioxidant can suppress cancer cell growth, destroy free radicals and hinder enzymes that activate carcinogens. It also protects cell membranes by blocking the toxic effects of oxidative stress. Aside from these potential anticancer benefits, quercetin also provides anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective and cardiovascular-protective benefits.
Antimicrobial Potential
In a 2016 study published in Food Science & Nutrition, researchers discovered that plant chemicals in lemon juice have antimicrobial properties. Specifically, lemon juice can inhibit bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, E.coli and Salmonella spp. These organisms are known for their role in food poisoning. Additionally, the study found that lemon juice has antifungal effects against Candida albicans, a type of fungus.
Blood Glucose Control
Hesperidin, a major active compound in lemons, can lower high blood sugar. It works by regulating enzymes that control blood sugar, according to a 2016 article in the International Journal of Food and Nutritional Science. This effect will improve insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity and decrease overall risk for Type 2 diabetes. If you already have diabetes, hesperidin may help manage the disease and avoid complications. The compound also offers anti-inflammatory and cholesterol-lowering benefits.

No- with Dangerous Summing, "Bounce to Disk" is unnecessary. Instead, record your mix into your DAW in real time by taking a pair outputs from your 2-Bus+ and plugging them into 2 line inputs on your interface. Once this mix has been recorded onto a stereo audio track (we like to label this track "print"), there are 2 ways to get the file out of your DAW: 1. Simply export the audio file. This will be your final mix. In ProTools, select the region and hit Shift+Command+K. In Logic, File->Export->Region As Audio File. In Cubase, File->Export->Selected Tracks. 2. If you prefer to avoid export functions altogether, just open the audio files folder for that session. Then locate the file that is labeled with the name you chose for your final mixdown track (i.e. "print"). Make certain to choose the most recent file. You may then use any two track audio editor or conversion program to adjust the bit depth and/or sample rate to your needs.

A TeenNick egy amerikai fizetős televíziós csatorna, a Nickelodeon társcsatornája, amely a ViacomCBS részlege. A csatorna elsősorban a 13–19 éves tinédzserek számára készült, és főleg a Nickelodeon által készített sorozatok és különlegességek, játékfilmek, valamint az eredetileg tizenéves és fiatal tinédzserek számára szervezett műsorok második sorozatát tartalmazza.

Története
A csatorna egyik eredete a TEENick nevű műsorblokk volt, amely 2001. március 4-én indult és 2009. február 1-ig sugárzott az amerikai Nickelodeonon. A másik a The N, mely 2002. április 1-től 2009. szeptember 28-ig sugárzott a Nogginnal osztott adásidőben. A TeenNick neve a TEENick műsorblokkból származik.

2011 óta látható a csatornán a NickRewind című műsorblokk, amely a Nickelodeon klasszikus műsoraiból áll.

2015 februárjától a TeenNick hozzávetőlegesen 72,3 millió fizetős televíziós háztartás számára elérhető (a televízióval rendelkező háztartások 62,1%-a) az Egyesült Államokban. 2019-ben új arculatot kapott.
