Donna Vasyli was jailed of the murder of her husband Phillip in 2015, but the conviction was thrown out by the Bahamas Court of Appeal in 2017.
Now she is fighting in a London court against facing another trial.
Donna Vasyli was convicted of killing her husband Phillip. (Nine)
Her two children were in court today, but Ms Vasyli did not appear.
The appeal hearing is expected to last two days.
Ms Vasyli is accused of stabbing her husband once in the chest with a kitchen knife in their luxurious Bahamian mansion, killing him.
It took a jury four hours to find her guilty, and she was sentenced to 20 years in jail in 2015.

"On 25 July 2017, the Court of Appeal quashed the conviction of the appellant and ordered a retrial," the case details listed by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council notes.

"Each of the three judges agreed that the conviction should be quashed but gave different reasons."
Two of the appeals court judges believed the judge behind the original trial failed to direct the jury on a number of crucial details.
"The direction would have addressed whether the appellant had lied in interview about the clothes she was wearing on the night and whether the surveillance cameras in her house were working, and what significance that should have for the jury," the case details read.

Mr Vasyli, a podiatrist, made his fortune with an orthotic footwear company. He owned several podiatry clinics around the world.
He and his widow fell in love as teenagers in Liverpool in western Sydney.
The case was the subject of Nine's documentary Murder, Lies and Alibis.

You can get the end of exposure confirmation by monitoring the trigger singal in the flesh hot shoe of the camera. If you set your camera to 2nd curtain flash sync, it will try to fire the flash just before ending the exposure.
The other method would be to control the camera using the bulb mode. In this case you know how long the exposure time is. The problem is, that you have a stiff exposure time not adjusting to the scene.
im using this schematic and it works fine, but i want to combine this with a motion slider, but i only want to movve after the picture is done taken. this is crucial for for example a long exposure shots. how can I get a signal that the picture is DONE taken,even after long exposure on auto camera exposure ?
I guess the focus or the shutter is accidently connected to ground permanently. Check the cables for short circuits.
Was anyone able to figure out why the 7D freezes after appling this mod, I am very interested as I have upgraded to a newer camera body and want to play around with my 7D gen 1?
I used the scheme and it's working great.
GEO, I have the same issue, after using a home made shutter ONLY remote after say 15 minutes the camera freezes and no more pics unless i turn it off and back on again.
It seems easy to damage expensive cameras with a home grown remote, so I won't be trying it on my canon 40d.
Anyone have any spec info, or heard of solutions? I\'m thinking setting the camera to record, then using the pause function would provide the best result..
Does it need to have a resistor ?
I made this trigger a couple years ago and it worked fine, but I didnt use it often. Reading the posts here iI concluded that a resistor is needed in order to not burn some internal components. To limit current (ammperage) to 30micro amp a resistor of 110K ohms should be used. Am I right? It would be put on the ground wire.
Sorry, the pinout is correct, I was mistaken.
I\'m really a beginner, when it comes to electronics, but I opened my cable remote controller (JJC MA-C for Canon RS-60E3), and there where written three abbreviations: GND (ground), PLS (?), AF (auto focus). It seems that in the pinout picture on top of this page the tip of the connector is PLS, the middle part is AF and the last one GND. In my case it seems ...: tip of the connector = GND, middle part PLS and the last one is AF. When I connect with a piece of cable the tip with the middle part, the camera is taking a picture. Connection of tip with last part results in auto focus.
I bought the N3 remote by mistake. Can I just replace the connector with a 2.5mm cable? Are they electronically the same?
Hello, thanks for sharing this info about how remote controls for EOS cameras work.
The first button (starting from the left) is the focus button; the second one is the shutter. The switch is for the shutter too, and it is useful with BULB mode.
My 10d has the same voltages. I got a $11 timer for a 40d from oeverstock thinking I could just make an adapter but no luck. The focus pin reads -3.3 till it is pressed than it goes to 0 v and than it stays that way until the stutter is released (as long as you keep pressing it). I think I need to add some sort of latch circuit because the cheap switch I cut the plug from is a reed switch which makes the focus first and holds it where this one puts out one quick pulse.
I used a 2.5mm jack from some cell phone (it comes with two rings). It worked fine - i was able to focus and shoot by connectings the wires, but after 30 minutes playing with it, it stopped working. I did not use any voltage (just connecting the wires) so I can't imagine burning something inside the canon. It looks like other people on thus thread had similar experience. Any ideas?
Going to wire up a 2.5mm jack to fit the plug. I have a relay output from a controller that I plan to interface to. SHould be a simple wire of the shutter to ground and hopeully do not need to wire in focus. I plan to have it setup in manual mode and never sleep mode. That way if the trigger activates I will capture what in a consistent way. For a starting line of a race so I need consistent firing.
BTW - All you hackers who are sourcing power to these pin be careful. The logic is pulled up by resistors internally in the camera. By sourcing a high on the ground wire your shorting voltage to the ground and this is a good way to damage items. You can source a high to the gate of a NMOS transistor. The source would be hooked to ground and the drain side would be hooked to the focus or shutter output pins. When you drive a high voltage on the gate of the transistor it will turn on and essentially pull the focus or shutter pins low. Relays can be used as well but don't drive voltage directly as it could interfere with the internal pull resistors and the sense nodes internally.
Hi. I've have got canon 500d and I've tried to build this kind of remote wired shutter and it warks perfectly. But I connect only shutter wire, because I'm using manual focusing. But after a while the remote contron stop working. The camera does not react on the buttom. Did you ever encounter such a problem?
I want to make my camera to shoot a single picture controlled by an IR LED when i push a button on my pic16f690 microcontroller.
Does anyone know what is the protocol to make this?
I wrote the code in C. I measured my RC-6 remote control. I measured 2 years ago the ON period of the LED IR and i think it was 60us.
You should use two transistor in emitter circuit or better two optical coupler.
The last solution is better cause it's hard to damage the camera. May you create an adapter which already includes the optical couplers - so you can't damage the IC in your camera.
hello. is it possible to trigger from the digital output (5v) of the arduino?
I was thinking i could just set up a simple circuit and use it to trigger the shutter... so if i sent a 3v into the ground it should work right?
Ran into the strangest thing today - not sure which Canon models have this change, but definitely the EOS 7D. Voltage from camera ground to shutter is 3.3VDC, but from ground to focus is -3.3VDC. Not a big deal for mechanical switches, but a HUGE deal for FET's. Eg, the PocketWizard electronic release holds the focus at all times when attached. I've only seen this on the 7D, but why in world would Canon have made such a change???? Perplexing - any thoughts?
If I ground the focus wire in manual focus mode will that prevent the camera from sleeping? I really need to figure out how to stop if from sleeping for an indefinite amount of time.
I manufacture an "Intervalometer" that can be triggered by sound/light or in fact anything that can be used to trigger the shutter - IR beam included.
Look at the post below yours. Using a light (or IR) sensor and a laser pointer (or IR LED) you can use the schematics presented there.
Does anyone know of method of building/buying a remote trigger for Canon SLR that can be triggered by breaking infra-red beam or other remote method? National Geographic photographers have turned Canon 350Ds into camera traps, by engineering a remote release (triggered by passing animals). I can't find how to do this though. Any suggestions?
Hi, I would like to build a shutter that can be connected to two Canon 400D. So when i press the shoot button both shoot a photo, but I'm not sure what to do with the voltages. I don't want to sum it and crash my cameras. How can I build this?
I've had a quick scan on Ebay and could only see IR or wired remotes. The IR remote only work from the front of the camera are very limited in range and are of course single shot only. The wired remotes can do continous but you are limited by the length of cable.
You can make up a wired remote in a few mins using a switch and 2.5m stereo plug. Cost about £2.
I made a wired remote controller for my 400D with a motorola cable, but I added a 2 phase button, just like the shutter button: half way down for focus, all the way down for shutter. On One Shot takes one shot, on Continuous takes pictures until i let go of the button, and on Self-timer/Remote Control, the timer counts down.
The Bulb function works good as well.
The only problem is that i need to put it in a little box or something, and find a way to lock the button for Bulb.
I think it's just a N3 version of the RS-80E3 trigger as used for the 400D and other three-digit EOS cams.
Thanks for writing this, I've been looking for something like this for so long!
Used a Motorola Handsfree - the one with the 2.5mm socket, and it works like a charm.
The standard 2.5-mm plug shaft has a length of about 11 mm (0.43 inch). Is you jack connectror blocked?
I used this and other sites in hopes of making my own cable release for my canon rebel xs (1000D). All sites mention using a 3/32 (2.5mm) stereo plug. However this jack is too long and does not fit my camera. Is there a shorter one available?
Thank you for this interesting information about the EOS. I would be grateful to know whether other brands have it on any of their cameras.
I suppose the circuitry using the 555 timer switch should be the same as per the one you shown for your 400D? I am wondering where I would be able to get the socket to connect to my camera?
is the 3.3v really needed? I had a simple remote for my 450 and 1000d and they didnt use batteries.
Second can you also use a transistor to switch? I was thinking about making a kind of slave (flash) for lightning fotography.
If you hold down the shutter-button only: The camera focuses first and than shoots if the focusing was successful. If the camera can't find the focus (too dark, object out of focal range...) no image will be taken. You have to hold down the button until the focus has been found, it may take a second for bad light conditions.
You can also focus first using the focus button and than additionally press the shutter button to release. This way you can control on what the cam has focused and refocus if necessary.
If you are in manual focus mode, the cam will trigger immediately when the shutter button is pressed.
I would like to know how do I use the DIY remote controller. First focus and then prss the shutter(both pressed) or focus and then press the shutter(only single button pressed)?
Both the 20D and 1D3 have an N3 connector. I guess the characteristics of both cameras are the same because both use the RS-80N3 trigger. I think it's just a N3 version of the RS-80E3 trigger as used for the 400D and other three-digit EOS cams.
I liked your article on remote release. I was going to make a dual verision that would trigger a 20D and a 1D3. Do you know if the voltage characteristics of the cameras are the same?

Lyra Therapeutics (Nasdaq:LYRA) announced today that it enrolled the first patient in its Phase 3 Enlighten II clinical trial.
Enlighten II is evaluating the company's LYR-210 in adult patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Lyra's proprietary XTreo platform delivers LYR-210.
Watertown, Massachusetts-based Lyra designed the proprietary XTreo platform for precise, sustained and local delivery. The platform is comprised of a flexible mesh capable of taking a high payload of a drug.
XTreo provides a consistent release of the therapeutic over time, with Lyra touting capabilities of six months of drug delivery.
Enlighten II is the second Phase 3 trial in the pivotal clinical program for LYR-210. Lyra initiated Enlighten 1 in January. Both trials will enroll surgically naïve CRS patients in the U.S. and Europe to support the company's FDA submission.
"We are excited about the ENLIGHTEN pivotal program, with both Phase 3 trials now actively enrolling patients," said Maria Palasis, president and CEO of Lyra Therapeutics. "LYR-210 is the first CRS product candidate designed to provide six months of continuous therapy with a single treatment, and we are focused on the opportunity to bring a new standard of care to the millions of CRS patients suffering with the disease."
Lyra's Enlighten program
The Enlighten program includes a total of 360 adult CRS patients. Enlighten II will enroll approximately 180 CRS patients who have failed medical management and have not had prior sinus surgery. Patients will be randomized, 2:1, to either LYR-210 or control. The primary endpoint is the change from baseline in a composite score of three cardinal symptoms (3CS) of CRS (i.e., nasal blockage, nasal discharge, and facial pain) at week 24.
Tandem Clinical Research in Marrero, Louisiana, enrolled the first patient.
"I am very happy that the first patient has now been enrolled at our site in this important trial," said Dr. Adil Fatakia, Tandem Clinical Research. "My investigator colleagues at other sites in the U.S. and around the world look forward to enrolling this trial to allow the required data to be collected, which will support submission of this program for approval."

Although we can add volume, length and thickness to our hair by hair extensions, they will frizz or dull over time. However, fortunately, some measures can make extensions smooth and silky again.
Use a salon quality shampoo to wash hair. You can create a thick as well as rich later from the shampoo. Then, pull the shampoo through the hair from root to tip with your fingers. When washing, you should not scrunch your hair.
Rinse hair completely. Then repeat the process with salon approved conditioner. Let the conditioner sit in the hair for 5-10 minutes. Rinse it thoroughly with cool water.
Before hair dries, you are supposed to apply a spray-on conditioner or an anti-frizz serum to the hair, and push the product through hair to achieve the best results with a comb or fingers.
When using a blow dryer, you can apply a heat-safe gel to the hair ill form a protective shield around the hair, preventing unnecessary drying to the extensions.
Comb hair through when drying. Never use a hair brush.
It is recommended to apply a dry shampoo to the scalp in between regular washings, for it can avoid over washing the hair.
To add moisture, you can apply witch hazel to the extensions one or twice a week.


best quality workmanship at the most affordable price.
keys and door handles to safes and chains.
fixing it, it is about quality parts that are made to last.

Holosun 507C Review in 2023 – New edition
August 23, 2022 by John Kingston
Every gun user has had challenges in hitting the bull's eye whether it be in competitions or hunting activities. This requires a good amount of accuracy that comes with practice, and it can also be affected by the weapons and accessories you use.
One way to improve accuracy is by installing a dot sight on your rifle. These are great for shooting close to medium ranges. And they're incredibly easy to use compared to optics although they don't enhance your accuracy.
This Holosun 507C review is the place to be if you want to make sure you get the best dot sight on the market. If you're looking for a way to easily improve your accuracy you should get your hands on one of these.
Holosun 507C Review
Well, this dot sight has been getting great reviews from several users, and it's grown to be a great competitor in the market. It has several features that help it outperform others in its class.
Since dot sights are technically 1x optics, they don't offer any magnification, and this is why it's only suitable for close to medium ranges. But you have the choice of using it with an optic if you prefer.
Although it may not improve your range, it can give you a significant boost in the area of accuracy without any trouble with parallax. You can choose between a green or red Holosun 507C dot sight.
Both the red and green sight offers the same accuracy. The green sight has the advantage of less power consumption while the red sight is best for fast targets.
All its other features are also impressive, like its battery life, durability, and accuracy. And this article is here to give you a comprehensive look at each one of these features.
The entire frame of this dot sight is made of 7075 T6 Aluminum. This aluminum alloy is one of the most famous and most used in the industry because of its superior tensile and shear strength. You won't have to worry about it getting easily damaged because it will be able to last the wear and tear of frequent use.
Its outer surface is covered with an anodized finish to make it resistant to corrosion. Using it during rainy days won't be a problem. Adjustments for the sight goes at 1 MOA per click.
Longer Battery Life
One of the main issues users have with dot sights is its battery life. With this sight, you won't be having that kind of problem with that.
This uses a CR2032 battery, and unlike other sights in the market, it has a back-up power source in the form of solar energy, which you can use when you use the auto-mode. It's designed to run longer without having any trouble. On dot-mode it is said to be able to run for an astonishing 10 years.
There is also a shake awake feature that turns the device off when not in use and turns it on when it is moved, this will help it save more energy.

Flexible Settings
To suit your needs, it has several settings you can utilize. There are 10 daylight settings and 2 night vision settings you can choose from. The intensity, on the other hand, has 2 settings, namely Auto and Manual. For the Auto Setting, the dot adjusts to the ambient light while the Manual Setting relies on user adjustments.
Adjusting between Auto and Manual is very easy; it only requires pushing the button for three seconds.
Any pistol that is optic ready can be used for mounting this dot sight. To mount it, you'll only need to screw it in place.

Zeroing into your target is made easier with its sight adjustments. You will be sure to hit your target regardless of the ambient light present. It's especially great for shooting competitions that are speed-based because all you will need to do is aim the dot on the target, and you're sure to make an accurate shot.
There is also a parallax feature that removes any possibility for a parallax error, which can greatly affect your shot's accuracy.
This sight is very simple to use and is suitable for activities that require fast sighting like hunting. They're also very compact and lightweight, you can effortlessly carry them around, and they won't weigh down your rifle.
Using sights can be very straining for your eyes but not with this one. It features an eye relief design so that even during long hours of shooting and hunting activities, you won't have to experience any strain on your eyes.
Now you can freely hunt and go on shooting competitions with ease thanks to this dot sight's optimum convenience features.
Suggested Topic: Trijicon RMR Type 2
Price is an important aspect when it comes to buying just about anything else. No one wants to spend too much on something, especially if the thing you buy won't even be able to do its job. With this sight, you won't have to worry about any of that because not only can it do its job, but it also comes at an affordable price.
All its features make it a great value product, and with its durability, it will prove to be a good investment because you won't have to replace it for a long time. If you don't want to go over your budget and still get a great sight, then this would be a great choice.
Has several light settings
Made of highly durable materials
Enhances shot's accuracy
Has a very long battery life
There is also a back-up battery
It comes in red and green
No significant disadvantages

Which is better between the green and red sight?
Both have their advantages and disadvantages, but they are both good with accuracy. Green appears a lot brighter, so it requires less power when in use, on the other hand, Red is easier to use when you have fast-moving targets.
Why do I need a dot sight?
Dot sights are easier to use compared to scopes. There are no complex controls and they offer great accuracy. You only need to aim the dot on your target and shoot.
Do dot sights lengthen my range?
Since sights are 1x optics, they don't give additional magnification, and they don't affect your range. All these do is enhance your accuracy. You can also use it with a riflescope for a longer range.
How far can dot sights see?
This depends on the model of the device, but generally, red dots can reach up to 100 yards, whereas green
dots have a lesser range by a few meters.
What pistol is this dot sight compatible with?
You can use this dot sight with any pistol that is with the RMR and is optic-ready.
Dot sights offer more when it comes to convenience and accuracy, compared to scopes. This would make a great addition to your hunting gear with all its great features. Choosing the best one in the market is hard, but this Holosun 507C review is here to make sure you make the right choice.

We've written a few times about the future direction of Twitter, a platform that seems torn between trying to emulate Facebook and thriving in its own, albeit 325m user, niche. Here we look at a Instagram going from strength to strength, currently at 430m users.
Instagram was bought by Facebook for a jaw dropping $1bn back in April 2012, the company recently up-dated its logo and while not to everyone's tastes the platform itself continues to thrive. According to IPSOS MRBI 22% of Irish adults aged 15+ have and account and 48% of those use it daily.
We've written previously about how to set up an Instagram account for your business, and how to use it; this piece showcases some Instagram Inspirations, accounts that give good visual food food for thought.
Much of the visual internet has been driven by the parallel smartphone and connected revolution making it easier than ever to take and share images.
Instagram enables our twin basic needs of taking photos and our desire to connect.
So let's look at our set of Instagram inspirations.
We are not suite sure where he was knighted but this editorial and fashion photographer is based in NYC. He uses Instagram as the main outlets for his work. His images are presented in his feed thematically in groups three-piece mini series. Triptych – good things come on threes.
Galerie magazine invites you "to experience the splendid world of artisitc living" with the accompanying hefty price tag that entails! The newly launched magazine covers art, design, home, architecture, people and destinations.
Full disclosure they recently featured our own friend the incredibly talented Irish based lighting designer Niamh Barry, represented by Todd Merril Studios in NYC. Galerie Magazine's Instagram feed presents featured items beautifully often using all three panels to display and item, more triptychs, and even going so far as using 6 and 9 tiles in glorious mosiacs.
Closer to home Rebirth of Cool, or ROC, is a dublin based clothes shop which I'm quite partial to myself. Sell modern classics such as Fred Perry, Penguin, Farah, Ben Sherman and Merc for the smart dressed boys and girls around town. The shop's Instagram account mixes pop culture icons, publicise events of interest to their customers and followers, with customers fashion and potential outfits of their clothes and shoes. They often use their own staff as models.
'Selfie' was selected as the word of 2013 by the Oxford English Dictionary's. Aeon magazine presented an article recently about the presentation of the self, literally via slefies. Which they describe as part of "a manifestation of the basic human need for self-presentation". Here are some creative and engaging accounts, proving that the tools in our hands can lead us to do many interesting things.
Sebastian Erras describes himself as one, guy, one city, one perspective. Each shot is accompanied by a snazzy set of brogues … our hero simply takes images of amazing tiled floors all over paris. One shot per day, all from a similar vantage point. The strength of Sebastian Erras' account is that beauty is right there in front of all of us, in this case all he needed to do was look down occasionally!
Melissa Hie is an Indonesian girl living in Singapore. Her instagram account is a travel blog documenting the delicious treats she eats while on her travels.
Hie started travelling in 2009 when she moved by herself to Singapore; in 2010, after a short trip to Thailand, Hie knew that she was hooked, and has been travelling ever since.
This instagram account again uses a similar perspective for each shot comprising her hand, the food item and a backdrop. Don't look at this account if you haven't had a holiday in a while and especially if you've skipped breakfast, elevenses or lunch! #Salivating!
Barbie Saviour picks up where Hipster Barbie (1.2m followers, now RIP) left off. To begin at the beginning, Socality, or Hipster Barbie was an account that lampooned ghastly vain behaviour on the platform, the account started as a way to poke fun at all the Instagram trends that she thought were ridiculous. The captions and hashtags were as interesting at the images themselves.
We've shown you some Instagram Inspirations, so now its your turn to get eating, traveling, moving, prop gathering, snapping and your own creative juices flowing!

Six uncapped players have been named in Gregor Townsend's Scotland squad for the summer tour to Canada, USA and Argentina next month.
Glasgow Warriors half-backs George Horne and Adam Hastings earn the opportunity to continue a fine debut season on the tour, alongside former Scotland U18 and Harlequins midfielder James Lang, who is also included in the 33-man squad.
"There are twin goals for this tour – the first is to build on the work we've done so far this season and finish with improved performances," said the head coach.
"We also have the Rugby World Cup in our thoughts, as this will be our last tour before we leave for Japan next year.
The squad, which has an average age of 25 and just two players aged 30 or above, also features notable absentees with Townsend giving a number of squad regulars an extended break.
The Scots kick-off their tour on Saturday 9 June in Edmonton against Canada, before taking on USA in Houston seven days later. The final match in the three-game series is against Argentina in Resistencia on the weekend of 22 June.
Simon Berghan (Edinburgh Rugby) – 8 caps, Jamie Bhatti (Glasgow Warriors) – 8 caps, Magnus Bradbury (Edinburgh Rugby) – 2 caps, Fraser Brown (Glasgow Warriors) – 31 caps, Lewis Carmichael (Edinburgh Rugby) – uncapped, Allan Dell (Edinburgh Rugby) – 10 caps, David Denton (Worcester Warriors) – 39 caps, Matt Fagerson (Glasgow Warriors) – uncapped, Zander Fagerson (Glasgow Warriors) – 16 caps, Grant Gilchrist (Edinburgh Rugby) – 22 caps, Richie Gray (Toulouse) – 65 caps, Luke Hamilton (Leicester Tigers) – 1 cap, Murray McCallum (Edinburgh Rugby) – 1 cap, Stuart McInally CAPTAIN (Edinburgh Rugby) – 17 caps, Jamie Ritchie (Edinburgh Rugby) – uncapped, Tim Swinson (Glasgow Warriors) – 36 caps, George Turner (Glasgow Warriors) – 2 caps, Ben Toolis (Edinburgh Rugby) – 9 caps.
Nick Grigg (Glasgow Warriors) – 4 caps, Chris Harris (Newcastle Falcons) – 2 caps, Adam Hastings (Glasgow Warriors) – uncapped, Sam Hidalgo-Clyne (Edinburgh Rugby) – 9 caps, Alex Dunbar (Glasgow Warriors) – 28 caps, Stuart Hogg (Glasgow Warriors) – 60 caps, George Horne (Glasgow Warriors) – uncapped, Pete Horne (Glasgow Warriors) – 33 caps, Ruaridh Jackson (Glasgow Warriors) – 32 caps, Lee Jones (Glasgow Warriors) – 8 caps, Blair Kinghorn (Edinburgh Rugby) – 2 caps, James Lang (Harlequins) – uncapped, Byron McGuigan (Sale Sharks) – 3 caps, Ali Price (Glasgow Warriors) – 16 caps, Duncan Taylor (Saracens) – 21 caps.
Unavailable through injury: Luke Crosbie (knee), John Hardie (back), Huw Jones (wrist), Willem Nel (knee), Hamish Watson (shoulder).

CanWNT: Rio 2016 thoughts and Canadian NWSL expansion
Emily Dulhanty

It's been almost a week since the Canadian women's national team secured their second straight Olympic bronze medal and upon reflection, the bronze won last week looks a lot different than the one earned in 2012.
There was much less drama this time around: no border battle with the U.S., no refereeing complaints, no last-minute, against-all-odds Diana Matheson type goal. Instead, what we saw on display out of Canada's national team was much better soccer. After London 2012, there was a lot of hand wringing and questions about the uncertain future of the program, and whether Canadian sports betting would ever see much interest in CanWNT's tournament performances. But after Rio 2016, the consensus seems to be that things are moving in the right direction and there is a young core that will carry this team for years to come.
Here are some belated thoughts on Canada's Rio 2016 and the future:
Youth ran the show
Much has already been said about the youth in this Canada team and their contributions to this bronze medal. John Herdman not only included nine players 23 years of age or younger in his squad, but he actually gave them significant minutes.
When I think back on Rio 2016, what I'll remember most is Deanne Rose's first-ever Olympic goal in that bronze-medal match, Janine Beckie's combination play with Christine Sinclair, Jessie Fleming's vision and technical skill in the set-up to Sinclair's goal against Brazil, Ashley Lawrence's reliability and versatility, and Shelina Zadorsky and Rebecca Quinn quietly getting things done on the back line. The youth truly ran the show for Canada this tournament and it bodes well for the future.
And while I wouldn't say that Kadeisha Buchanan had a particularly good tournament, I will say that she bounced back from her mistakes in the semi-final against Germany to play a much better match against Brazil.
[LAULETTA: Five reasons the USWNT was shocked at the Olympics]
Herdman deserves credit

After a disappointing exit from Canada 2015 and some, quite frankly, ugly soccer, Herdman deserves praise for the job he did turning the ship around. Mistakes were made in 2015 in team selection, but going young – and actually playing the young players – this year was absolutely the correct call. In Rio, Canada looked like the team that improved the most since the World Cup.
One thing Herdman needs to do in the future is address Buchanan's aggressiveness and willingness to go to ground when she doesn't need to. Buchanan does a lot of things right, but this aspect of her game was unfortunately on display this tournament.
Sinclair still deserves to be in the XI
Leading up to Rio 2016 – and heck, even Canada 2015 – I can't tell you how many times I read that "Christine Sinclair is on the wrong side of 30." Her role was questioned and there were suggestions from observers that the team might need to begin learning how to play without her.
I think it's safe to say that Sinclair had an outstanding tournament, and likely silenced these critics. From the opening whistle of the tournament, when she forced the turnover that lead to Beckie's record setting goal vs. Australia, to her game-winning goal (make that bronze-medal winning goal) against hosts Brazil, Sinclair showed that she still belongs in the starting XI of this team moving forward. Why move away from Sinclair when she's still scoring goals and setting up her teammates?
[MORE: U.S. Soccer terminates Hope Solo's contract]
By giving Beckie the opportunity to take the penalty kick late in the game against Australia, instead of taking it herself, Sinclair showed once again that she's not out here to pad her goal scoring stats.
Eventually the team will need to learn how to play without Sinclair. But, health permitting, I don't think Canada needs to worry about this for another cycle.
NWSL expansion into Canada and (a lack of) semi-pro options
On Monday, women's soccer twitter freaked out over Meritt Paulson's latest tweet-and-delete, in which he responded to Charles Boehm saying: "prediction: Van to NWSL in 2018…call it a hunch."
Of course the "Van" he meant here is Vancouver, and while Paulson made it clear that it was just "a hunch," the tweets made me all at once excited and skeptical.
The thought of NWSL being stable enough to expand into another country is exciting. Does NWSL need Canadian franchises? No. NWSL could expand into California and New York City or Salt Lake and have the 14 teams by 2020 that commissioner Jeff Plush mentioned. But the league could greatly benefit from having a whole new country introduced to it, with Canadian players and presumably existing infrastructure to rally behind.
Since the inception of the league in 2013, there have been numerous rumors and rejections about Canadian franchises. Duane Rollins has reported many times that NWSL turned down Ottawa's bid for 2013 because it was too small a market.
In 2013, SI's Grant Wahl tweeted about rumors of interest in NWSL from Toronto and Vancouver, prompting speculation about potential expansion franchises in Canada being linked to MLS teams.
[MORE: CBF could end Brazil WNT's residency program]
The Equalizer's Harjeet Johal has asked Vancouver Whitecaps president Bob Lenarduzzi and other top brass many times about the Whitecaps adding back a top flight women's team (they got rid of their W-League team in 2012). In 2014, Lenarduzzi said "somewhere down the road we might revisit the professional league," but in July of 2015, Whitecaps co-owner Jeff Mallett said there was "nothing imminent" on this front.
As for the Montreal Impact, at a recent season ticket holder Q&A event this July, owner Joey Saputo said they turned down the opportunity to have a women's team.
Out of all three Canadian MLS markets, the one that would be most financially ready to own an NWSL team would be Toronto. Toronto FC is owned by a company called Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, which is owned by Rogers and Bell, the two biggest telecommunications companies in Canada worth billions of dollars. MLSE could use the money in the couch cushions of their headquarters to start a women's team. That being said, Neil Davidson of the Canadian Press reported last year that TFC had not yet considered a women's team.
All of that is a long way of saying that I am skeptical about Canadian NWSL expansion, but here's to hoping there is more to Paulson's tweet about Vancouver than just "a hunch." A full slate of Cascadia matches in NWSL would be amazing, and Canada needs more playing options for its players than just a few allocation spots.
Canada Soccer owes it to its women's program to look for solutions. Sure, skilled players will rise to the top and make it in NWSL or other top leagues, but with only so many NWSL allocations, no Canadian NWSL team, the W-League and its Canadian teams folded, and just one Division II women's team left in Canada (North Shore GSC in the WPSL) and one Division III regional league (League1 Ontario), I can't help but wonder how many players will fall through the gap.

FPL Q&A: Triple Captain? Best Man City options? Mitrovic to Martial?
With Fantasy Premier League (FPL) now in full swing following the World Cup break, we're welcoming back our top team of Pro Pundits and Hall of Famers.
Only Premium Members are able to read every single one of these pieces, so sign up today to get full access not just to the editorial content but all of the other benefits, from hundreds of Opta stats to a transfer planner.
Here, seven-time top 10k finisher Zophar answers some of the week's most-asked questions ahead of Gameweek 20.
Q: The burning question is… who is the third Manchester City player to get? Especially with John Stones (£5.4m) supposedly not being fully fit. (via @FPL_Cam22)
A: The majority of the questions this week revolve around Man City. Kevin De Bruyne (£12.5m) and Erling Haaland (£12.2m) are firmly entrenched as the two top assets but there are question marks around the third, with many wondering whether to shift Joao Cancelo (£7.2m) and who for. Do you invest in another attacker for the third spot, or opt for a defender?
I was quite set on bringing in Stones for Cancelo this week as I feel the England international is currently Pep Guardiola's first-choice centre-back and rarely comes on as a substitute, enabling the likes of Ben White (£4.7m) or Sven Botman (£4.4m) to come in from the bench.
However, Stones was omitted from Wednesday night's squad and, although there was no direct quote from Pep, it is supposedly due to him not being fully fit.
Their bench was absolutely stacked, already having two centre-backs there with Nathan Ake (£5.0m) and Manuel Akanji (£5.0m). As Stones was in the squad against Chelsea and was seen training in the club's latest videos, I think they're just giving him a rest with there being such a short turnaround to Double Gameweek 20.
If we do get further confirmation of his fitness doubts on Friday, I would instead look at the versatile Akanji, who can be used at right-back or centre-back. Yet it doesn't feel great in the long-term, as these City assets need to last until at least Double Gameweek 23.
There is a counter-argument to that last sentence though. I think Riyad Mahrez (£7.5m) is very likely to start both games in this double and, with Pep's whims and fancies changing constantly, he can easily be moved to someone like Bukayo Saka (£8.1m).
At the back, Rico Lewis (£3.9m) is likely to keep getting game-time but some may just be cameos. If you need him as an enabler to fund someone like Harry Kane (£11.6m), I don't mind that, just as long as you are content with benching him most weeks.
Do you really need to sell Cancelo though? That's difficult to answer. He did nothing against Southampton to show that he deserves a return to the starting XI, making starts in either fixture look unlikely.
That being said, Pep does funny things and it's not completely impossible that he does play at least once, though I would still move him on. We don't need to have three Man City assets right now, especially if you already have De Bruyne and Haaland in place.
Moving Cancelo to a longer-term player from elsewhere like Botman, White or Matt Doherty (£4.6m) could work but bear in mind that Newcastle United are now likely to blank in Gameweek 25.
Q: After the performance against Southampton, is Triple Captain Erling Haaland still a good idea? (via @FPL_Earlyriser)
A: Before delving into my thoughts, I want to say that Triple Captaining the game's highest scorer in a Double Gameweek with high expected minutes is never a bad option. Whether it succeeds depends mostly on luck, variance and game state.
For example, if Man City score or concede early in either fixture, it could open up and be high scoring. Alternatively, they could be games where the champions look to exert control, ensure they avoid counter-attacks and scrape a 1-0 or 2-0 win.
On this week's FPL Wire Podcast, I mentioned that I was quite keen on using the Triple Captain chip as I didn't think Haaland's minutes would be as assured in any future double. Admittedly, I am now wavering on this because they haven't been convincing since the restart and don't look to be in the same rhythm as at the start of the season.
The Southampton defeat could spark a reaction, encouraging a wounded animal performance that blows Manchester United away, so it could still be a gamble worth taking.
Speaking of minutes, the Carabao Cup elimination now ensures they have a free midweek on both sides of their FA Cup fourth-round game against Arsenal and will likely be full strength.
If they avoid a draw and the subsequent replay, they will therefore have a free midweek before the first half of Double Gameweek 23. That should ensure a Haaland start against Aston Villa, before travelling to Arsenal in a huge match. So I am now optimistic about his minutes in that double.
Marcus Rashford's (£7.0m) form is turning my head as well. If Manchester United avoid a fourth-round replay, they could have a Double Gameweek 22 against Leeds and Crystal Palace, both at home.
So, as it stands, I will not be using the Triple Captain on Haaland this week simply because I don't think Man City are playing well – an opinion that one of their own players agrees with:
"We've won games but I feel like something is missing, something's off. At the minute there's a special recipe missing – performances, the desire and hunger is not as in recent years. Hopefully, it [the Southampton loss] was the right wake-up call for us." – Ilkay Gundogan
Q: Is Aleksandar Mitrovic (£7.2m) to Anthony Martial (£6.6m) worth a transfer? (via @FplSuper)
A: Martial was absent from Man United's midweek cup squad, with Erik ten Hag confirming that it was nothing more than a rest. He should start both Double Gameweek 20 fixtures but, beyond that, I have some concerns with the Red Devils' striker search.
If they are given a Double Gameweek 22, it's still over three weeks away and they have a lot of fixtures to play, with progression in the cups and a two-legged Barcelona tie on the horizon.
So, while I like Martial this week, I am not sure about afterwards. It's the sort of move that I would probably do for free but not for a hit.
Q: Martial for free, or Kane for a four-point hit? (via @FPL_Andy)
A: It wouldn't be right to wrap up this article without discussing FPL's second-highest scorer, Harry Kane. Yes he is on four yellow cards and the Double Gameweek fixtures are against the top two but Kane is simply one of the best FPL assets in the game, full stop.
Buying him now is a move for both now and the longer term. If you can get him in, it's a great entry point and I would even do so for a hit. I fancy him to outscore Martial over the next few Gameweeks and, with transfers likely to be required elsewhere, he is one of the best 'set-and-forget' guys in the game.

Q: C#: "Using" Statements with HttpWebRequests/HttpWebResponses Jon Skeet made a comment (via Twitter) on my SOApiDotNet code (a .NET library for the pre-alpha Stack Overflow API):

@maximz2005 One thing I've noticed
just from browsing the source quickly:
you don't disposed (sic) of WebResponses.
"using" statements FTW.

He indicates that I need to wrap these Web sessions in "using" statements. However, I have a question about this: should I wrap the whole thing, starting with the HttpWebRequest, or should I create the WebRequest outside of the "using" statement and then wrap the Response inside? I have a feeling that the difference is that, in the former, both objects would be disposed of - is this correct?
Thanks in advance.

A: Everything wrapped in a using () {} block (that is, inside of the first brackets) is disposed when you leave the scope.
I haven't used your library so far (seems nice though), but I'd argue that you should explicitly dispose every IDisposable you create (= are responsible for) and don't return to a caller.
A sidenote, since I've seen a lot of people struggling with multiple things to dispose: Instead of
using (var foo = SomeIDisposable) {
  using (var bar = SomeOtherIDisposable) {
  }
}

which needs a lot of vertical space you can write
using (var foo = SomeIDisposable)
using (var bar = SomeOtherIDisposable) {
}

A: HttpWebRequest itself is not disposable unlike HttpWebResponse. You should wrap disposable resources with using to allow early and determined cleanup. Correctly implemented IDisposable pattern allows multiple calls to Dispose without any issues so even the outer using statement wraps resource that during its own dispose disposes inner using statement resource it is still ok.
Code example
var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("example.com");
using (var response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
{
    // Code here
}

A: In order to prevent memory leaks you should call Dispose on every object that implements IDisposable. You can ensure that the Dispose method in called by using the using keyword (no pun intended) as it is just a syntactic sugar for try-finally block.

Q: Programmatically setting icon to navigation drawer menu item using drawable resource is always black in Android I am developing an Android app. In my app I am using navigation drawer and navigation view. I am setting menu items for them programmatically. I set drawable image resource as icon to them programmatically. But when I set icon to them, icons are always black event my image resource beautiful color image.
This is how I programmatically set icon to menu
Menu menu = leftDrawer.getMenu();
        SubMenu subMenu = menu.addSubMenu(MAIN_MENU_ITEM_GROUP_ID, 99, 99, "Others");

        subMenu.add(MAIN_MENU_ITEM_GROUP_ID,96,96,"Monthly Leaderboard").setIcon(R.drawable.leaderboard_icon).setOnMenuItemClickListener(new MenuItem.OnMenuItemClickListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {
                startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, LeaderboardActivity.class));
                return false;
            }
        });

        subMenu.add(MAIN_MENU_ITEM_GROUP_ID,96,96,"Settings").setIcon(R.drawable.settings_icon).setOnMenuItemClickListener(new MenuItem.OnMenuItemClickListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {
                startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, SettingsActivity.class));
                return false;
            }
        });

This is the screenshot of what I have got

As you can see icons are black.
This is one of my original icon

Why is that happening and how can I fix it to get colorful icon? I have to set it programmatically.

A: Try the following line of code to resolve your problem...
yourNavigationView.setItemIconTintList(null)

And,
If you want to give specific color then You can change the color by using app:itemIconTint="@color/my_desired_colour" to NavigationView.
The default tint is black.`


If I am honest what I was really saying was, "Take my heart, take all that I have, but please not my finances." It was the beginning of my adventure out of college, and I had never given to a church before. Not growing up in a Christian home, it was never something I had to do, and only something I watched adults do. I heard over and over again that God has given us so much that we are to give generously back to him. Because I didn't know how much to give, or even why we truly give, I thought I could get around it by giving generously in other ways.
For the next six months, I felt God tugging on my heart to give of my finances, but I wanted to give as an act of worship, and not as something else to check off a list. I kept telling myself, "When I am in my 30s I will give. When I am further in my career I will give. When I have a family I will give." This was a backwards way of thinking, full of fear and distrust in the One who has given everything for me. Time and time again, I see how much I want to live for myself. Yet time and time again, I learn that my heart will only truly rest in God and God alone.
I felt embarrassed at my way of thinking and my reluctance to give, so I tearfully approached Erik, City Church's pastor, for wisdom. He reminded me that God is after our hearts, not our money. If we feel required to give and it is of guilt, is it really giving at all? Erik taught me to start small, even if that meant giving one percent.

Phillies-Brewers 5 Things: Opportunity for a Rare 4-game Win Streak
By Steven Tydings | CSNPhilly.com	• Published July 22, 2017 • Updated on July 22, 2017 at 9:20 am
Phillies (33-61) vs. Brewers (52-47)
7:05 p.m. on NBC10; streaming live on CSNPhilly.com and the NBC Sports App
For the first time since they won four straight from June 3-6, the Phillies have a three-game winning streak going. On Friday night, they were carried by the arm of Aaron Nola, who is on a roll since early June (see story). Going for the Phils' fourth straight win, Jeremy Hellickson toes the rubber Saturday against rookie lefty Brent Suter.
Complete coverage of the Fightin' Phils and their MLB rivals from NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Phillies Agree to Deal With Free-Agent Reliever Archie Bradley
Tommy Lasorda Jan 8
Philly Ties Ran Deep for Baseball Legend Tommy Lasorda
Here are five things to know for the game:
1. Gone streaking?
A winning streak! The Phillies have put together one of their better stretches of the season over the last week, winning four out of five beginning with the final game of their set in Milwaukee.
While the offense has picked up its play in that span (6.2 runs per game in the last five), the pitching needs to be mentioned first. The staff has come together well and looks much more like what the team expected in the spring. Fitting, the three-game streak began with six quality innings from Vince Velasquez. This season has been a struggle for the righty, who came off the disabled list in the win.
On Wednesday, Nick Pivetta allowed three runs in 5 1/3 innings, but the bullpen held the Marlins scoreless. And then there was Nola on Friday. He looked sharp from the get-go and found a second gear when the lineup turned over. The second time through the lineup, he struck out seven batters in the midst of retiring 10 straight batters.
Now to the offense. Going into Friday's win, the Phillies were ninth in team OPS in July. Nick Williams has 10 hits in his last six games, picking up where Aaron Altherr left off. Maikel Franco has a five-game hit streak and has raised his average to .233, the highest its been since the Phillies' opening series in April.
Meanwhile, the Brewers are ice cold. They've lost six straight and have a tenuous hold on their division with the red-hot Chicago Cubs on their heels. They're only a game up on the Cubs and are one behind in the loss column. They're only 2.5 games ahead of Pittsburgh and 3.5 up on the Cardinals. The clock may have hit midnight on baseball's first-half Cinderella.
2. Hellickson at home
In his last time out, Hellickson had the Brewers off balance for most of his outing. He was cruising into the fifth inning with a 1-0 lead, but the righty made one big mistake, leading to a home run by Brett Phillips that put Milwaukee up.
While the Phillies won the game, it ended Hellickson's day. It was the first time in his last five starts that he had failed to complete at least six innings.
The righty has been on a mini-roll since he was roughed up by the Red Sox at Citizens Bank Park last month. In his last five appearances, he has a 3.26 ERA with 25 strikeouts in 30 1/3 innings. He's allowed only 30 baserunners in that period and held batters to a .227 average.
Looking at Hellickson's season as a whole, he has similar numbers away from CBP in 2017 compared to last year. However, he's faltered at home. He had a 3.16 ERA in 99 2/3 innings at CBP last year with a 4.55 K/BB ratio. This year, it's a 4.59 ERA with a 1.59 K/BB ratio while his home run rate has ballooned. It's not a great look for a pitcher the Phillies would like to trade.
3. Brewers turn to the rookie
With their division lead evaporating, the Brewers are turning to Suter, a rookie making just his 12th appearance and fifth start of the season after making 14 and two last year.
And the lefty has looked good in limited action. In 32 innings, he has a 3.09 ERA with 27 strikeouts and 10 walks. He's allowed 32 hits and just one home run.
The 27-year-old lefty has had success despite his four-seam fastball topping out in the upper 80s. He still throws it 70.3 percent of the time working in his mid-70s slider and low-80s changeup with some success. He'll rarely throw his curveball.
One may wonder how a lefty who doesn't touch 90 mph can handle RHBs. Believe it or not, Suter actually has a reverse split for his career, holding righties to a .680 OPS while LHBs hit .803 off him.
Suter has made three starts in July and has held hitters to a .254/.294/.317 slash line in 17 innings, striking out 15 and walking four.
4. Players to watch
Phillies: Speaking of lefties, Odubel Herrera has had better command of the strike zone recently. He's drawn a walk in four consecutive games and has five walks to go with nine hits since the All-Star break.
Brewers: Eric Thames has cooled off considerably since his hot April, but he still leads the Brewers with 23 home runs this season and has a .774 OPS since May.
5. This and that
• The Phillies haven't won back-to-back series since sweeping Atlanta and Miami April 21-27. They've lost every home series since taking two of three from the Giants on June 2-4.
• In five career starts against the Brewers, Hellickson is 3-1 with a 2.89 ERA over 28 innings.
• Mark Leiter Jr. took a loss for Triple A Lehigh Valley on Friday, but Rhys Hoskins and Scott Kingery hit their 21st and fifth home runs for the IronPigs, respectively.


As the old saying goes, time in the market is generally superior to timing the market. Yet, investors tend to have a bad habit of buying winners too late and dumping losers too soon. -Staying the course does not necessarily mean sitting still. It means avoiding bad behaviour, remembering your goal and ensuring you approach markets with discipline.
– As the old saying goes, time in the market is generally superior to timing the market. Yet, investors tend to have a bad habit of buying winners too late and dumping losers too soon.
-Staying the course does not necessarily mean sitting still. It means avoiding bad behaviour, remembering your goal and ensuring you approach markets with discipline.
From trade wars to Brexit, North Korean tensions to Italian political turmoil, we've had plenty of noise to deal with. So, what do we mean by "staying the course"? It is not always about sitting still (even though this is often the easiest path to investing success), but rather, to focus on the goal that you set in the first place and ensure your behaviour aligns with it.
Therefore, it is vital that as investors we remain vigilantly aware of how animal spirits can drive irrational decision-making, and that we adopt a reasoned framework for investing. Behavioural errors can wreak havoc on long-term portfolio returns due to excessive and unjustified turnover.
The best thing an investor can do when contemplating change is to reflect on their goals. Would the investment change align with the original investment plan or strategy for reaching well-defined goals? The key question to ask is whether anything has fundamentally changed since setting the original strategy or whether it's just that the client is disappointed with the progress towards goals.
If something has fundamentally changed, the next question to ask is whether you can clearly identify what has changed. Write it down, then balance this by writing what it might mean if you're wrong. This should include any misjudgement risk as well as the added costs if you decided to change investments.
You will often find that the change you desire is not necessarily going to increase the probability of reaching your goal/s. If it has "just" disappointed you, but nothing has fundamentally changed, the likely best option is to stay the course. By thinking probabilistically and remembering that investment markets never move in straight lines, you may avoid the perils of trying to time the market.
Furthermore, you may benefit by doing the opposite to your intuition (given the evidence against it) and teach yourself to be a contrarian.
As professional, multi-asset investors, we focus on the investment objective, always bearing in mind the opportunity costs and risks. We also write down a balanced thesis that ensures we remove any emotion rom our decision-making.
In this sense, staying the course is not idle or passive, but rather about staying aware.
Investing, like many things, often involves taking the thorns with the roses. Over dozens of years and through all investment literature there is one golden thread–the evidence clearly favours time in the market over timing the market.

New Video: Born Allah Teams Up with Zpu-Zilla and DJ Nu-Mark on a Soulful and Swaggering Banger
Born Allah is a grizzled veteran of Los Angeles' hip-hop scene. The Los Angeles-based emcee had been quietly enjoying retirement, when German-born producer Zpu-Zilla contacted Born Allah and sent him the beat for "Dedication." The "Dedication" beat inspired the Los Angeles-based emcee to rethink his retirement — and ultimately, the end result wound up being Born Allah's latest EP Analog Baby. "After we talked about it, I sent a stack of beats and Born was hyped," Zpu-Zilla recalls. "I'm so glad I could take him out of retirement for this project, and I hope it was worth it."
Analog Baby not only reflects the talents and passion of the Los Angeles hip-hop vet, but it lovingly captures the era of hip-hop that Born Allah comes from. "I recorded on four-track recorders, reel to reel, and analog gear," Born Allah says. "I wanted to tap into that energy, feeling and love I had for rapping when utilizing that equipment." "This is me having fun spitting again," Born Allah continues, "I'm an analog baby in a digital world."
The EP's latest single, opening track "Dedication" is a golden era-inspired banger centered around tweeter and woofer rocking boom bap, a soulful gospel choir sample, thumping low end and some dexterous scratching from DJ Nu-Mark. Throughout the track, Born Allah spits some witty, grown-ass folks lyrics that mesh swaggering braggadocio and hilarious, self-deprecating and self-loathing: the track essentially finds the Los Angeles hip-hop vet saying "yeah, I made be a cantankerous old head, who talks too much about the 'good ol' days' but my old ass can teach you a thing or two!" (Personally, there's something about this track that I can really associate with. As I inch further into my 40s within an industry that seemingly values youth at all costs, I've kind of felt the same!)
Directed by GuapCityProductions, the recently released video was shot in Downtown Los Angeles — and it captures the bravado and swagger of the song by following Born Allah as he cruises through town and hangs out with his crew. And while the crew does feature some young bloods, they seem to pay the old timers one and respect — in a way that seems all too uncommon.

Hi guys, trying to migrate my projects to lazarus 2.1 with fpc 3.3.1 I have a problem in cocoa development. I work with firebird 2.5 on mac and when I run a query that returns datetime fields their value is always read as 00/00/0000, but if I run the same query from flamerobin the dates are evaluated. It is as if all the dates in the dataset were not read correctly. Use Zeos components 7.2 stable. Only I do not understand if the problem is of zeos or is of lazarus. Does anyone know how to solve?
I posted one example with firebird database backup to reproduce problem (with image of problem).
I found the problem but I do not know how to solve it. The DateTimeToNative function exists in the ZDatasetUtils file.
I know that the two dates are different, but the fact that the value on the mac is negative leads me to think that there is a problem. Ideas on how to solve it?

The Rice Memorial boys hockey team and the North Country/Lyndon girls hockey squad have forfeited their upcoming quarterfinal games because of COVID-related situations, the Vermont Principals' Association said Tuesday.
The No. 3 Green Knights (6-1-1) were scheduled to host No. 6 Champlain Valley (4-4) in a quarterfinal matchup at Cairns Arena on Wednesday night. Meanwhile fourth-seeded North Country/Lyndon (6-1), a cooperative program, was slated to play No. 5 Rice (5-3) in a D-I quarterfinal on Tuesday.
The CVU boys and Rice girls advance to the semifinals in their divisions.

Because of a recent game against MVU, the Kingdom Blades were asked to conduct contact tracing and were notified by the state to administer testing for all players later this week, according to Bob Johnson, the associate executive director of the VPA.
At Rice, the boys hockey team has entered quarantine, Johnson said. In an emailed statement, Rice athletic director Neil Brodeur said the school "received word of a presumptive positive case of COVID-19 in the Rice learning community."
"Due to the nature of this pandemic and circumstances out of our control, there are times when we will need to cancel events. We understand how these choices impact the hopes and plans for many of our students, staff and families," Brodeur said in the email. "Our decisions are informed by recommendations and guidance from the Health Department and, importantly, based on our priority to provide for the health and safety of everyone associated with the Rice community."
Both the Rice boys and Kingdom Blades were considered strong playoff contenders. Rice entered the D-I playoffs on a seven-game unbeaten streak, while the Kingdom Blades were in the midst of their best season since forming a co-op five years ago.
Other teams at Rice, North Country and Lyndon remain eligible to continue with their playoff games, Johnson said. Boys and girls basketball tournaments begin Tuesday.
After this week's round of quarterfinals and semifinals, hockey title games are tentatively slated for the middle of next week. For basketball, Barre Auditorium is the site for the girls and boys finals on March 27 and 28, respectively.
"Right now we have to take it day by day, that's all we can do," Johnson said. "We are locked in to when we can do playoffs for basketball, but we do have some flexibility with hockey."
