Q: Comparing two unsigned char buffers I have two CVImageBufferRef buffers that correspond to two images grabbed in sequence by AVCaptureSession. I would like to compare both to see if all the pixels are the same. In order to loop thru all pixels of the frame buffer and compare them, I have this:
unsigned char *pixelA = (unsigned char *)CVPixelBufferGetBaseAddress(pixelBufferA);
unsigned char *pixelB = (unsigned char *)CVPixelBufferGetBaseAddress(pixelBufferB);

- (BOOL) isBuffer:(unsigned char *)pixelA equalToBuffer:(unsigned char *)pixelB {
    for( int row = 0; row < bufferHeight; row++ ) {
        for( int column = 0; column < bufferWidth; column++ ) {

            if ((pixelA[0] != pixelB[0]) ||
                (pixelA[1] != pixelB[1]) ||
                (pixelA[2] != pixelB[2]) ){
                return NO;
                // means at some point pixelA is not equal to pixelB, so
                // pixelBufferA is not equal to pixelBufferB
            }

            pixelA += BYTES_PER_PIXEL;
            pixelB += BYTES_PER_PIXEL;

        }
    }

        // if the method reached here, pixelBufferA is equal to pixelBufferB, so
        return YES; // are equal
}

Obviously it is crashing in the comparison. How do I compare all values in pixelA with pixelB ? thanks

A: I've never actually done what you're doing, but is there a reason you can't just compare the buffers in one go, say, with memcmp?
- (BOOL) isBuffer:(unsigned char*)pixelA equalToBuffer:(unsigned char*)pixelB
{
    size_t bufferSize = bufferWidth * bufferHeight * BYTES_PER_PIXEL;

    return memcmp( pixelA, pixelB, bufferSize ) == 0;
}

Troy athletic director reportedly gets vacant USU job
Written by Mitch Henline
LOGAN – Aggie fans have been anxiously waiting the replacement of USU Athletic Director Scott Barnes, and the hire may happen very soon.
According to an article published by The Salt Lake Tribune, sources close to USU said Troy University Athletic Director John Hartwell will soon be named the athletic director at Utah State. The spot became vacant when it was announced in April that Barnes would be leaving to take the same job at the University of Pittsburgh.
Barnes' performance will be tough to replicate. In his seven years as athletic director USU saw unprecedented success in football, a move to the Mountain West Conference, new facilities and a $2.4 million apparel and rebranding deal with Nike.
Hartwell may be the guy that can live up to that, he has done similar things at Troy. According to Troy's website, he helped its athletic department with several significant upgrades to their facilities and was instrumental in improving fundraising. In addition, there were improvements made in the classroom. A record number of student-athletes earned at least a 3.0 grade-point-average.
Hartwell's experience in athletic departments came long before his time at Troy. He spent nine years as the senior executive associate athletics director at the University of Mississippi. While going to school at The Citadel, Hartwell played college basketball and was a four-year letterman, a three-year starter and a captain his senior year.

So mediation really does work.
As a mediator I know this anyway, as my experience has shown me this time and time again. One of the reasons why it is so successful is that it allows the parties to find a solution to their dispute which a court cannot provide. What I mean by this is that a court can be quite dimensional in the remedies it can order i.e. payment of money or declaration that something should or shouldn't happen. But in mediations all sorts of commercial arrangements can be reached, often preserving the business relationships between parties.
• Commercial dispute between transport company and customer. Client recovers money and solution involved delivery of goods to a location using a third party. This was ahead of court action after we had pressed for mediation following a letter of claim that had been sent to explain our client's position and to set out what would happen if mediation didn't take place.
• Inheritance dispute – estate agreed to be varied by all parties and the executor received clear instructions on final distribution of the estate. The result was a clear saving of significant costs for all parties, and the quicker distribution of the estate.
• Contract dispute between client and supplier – matter settled with client being released from onerous contract upon payment of modest sum. The client avoiding a final court hearing with all the costs involved, and tie up of management time in having to deal with the matter and attend court to give evidence.
In one of these cases, the other party's solicitor delayed and put obstacles in the way of mediation for no apparent reason. The client of that solicitor could have saved even more costs had a prompt agreement been reached to mediate.
If you have a dispute and your solicitor is not talking to you about the benefits of mediation, please ask them why. You may be missing out on an opportunity to quickly resolve your dispute.
And if you need a mediator, I'd be happy to be appointed to help you find a solution to your dispute.

Exit the Dragon? Chinese investment in Germany
Zhang Danhong aos
02/05/2018 February 5, 2018
In 2016, Chinese investors took over more companies in Europe than in the previous four years combined, most of them in Germany. The trend did not continue in 2017 but that was not due to any tightening of Chinese belts.
https://p.dw.com/p/2s9Bo
Sun Yi, who leads the China business services bureau at the German offices of consulting firm EY (formerly known as Ernst & Young), doesn't reveal exactly how many German companies were taken over by the Chinese in 2017. One thing is clear though — it is less than there were in 2016.
That year, Germany was the most popular investment destination for Chinese companies in Europe, hosting 68 acquisitions. As Sun Yi explains, that number fell last year, as did the overall volume of transactions.
By her account, there is one clear reason for all of this. "In November 2016, the Chinese government agreed to strictly control the flow of capital abroad," she tells DW. Since then, German sellers have demanded higher sums as collateral than previously. "Money now has to be deposited into an account in Germany, or else a bank has to give a guarantee," she says. "Some planned deals have failed since."

German angst over China
The recent obstacles are not only regulatory. A tangible discomfort around the issue of Chinese investment has also crept in on the German side.
"We are seeing the growing influence of the Chinese Communist Party on individual companies, exactly the opposite of what we heard in Davos last year. That's what annoys us," Dieter Kempf of the Federation of German Industry (BDI) told DW, referring to Chinese President Xi Jinping's championing of free trade at the 2017 World Economic Forum annual meeting.
The Communist Party has made no secret of its desire to dominate certain industries, such as technology, and unseat current incumbents. With the state's 'Made in China 2025' strategy, it has defined its target industries.

Aerospace is one. That might explain why the German Ministry of Economics wants to probe the planned takeover of German aerospace supplier Cotesa by a Chines state-owned company.
"Since the introduction of investment auditing in Germany in 2004, no acquisition has been prohibited," the Ministry says. But last year the rules were tightened. "Since July 2017, around 30 acquisitions have been audited — equivalent to around half the revenue for the whole year," the Ministry confirmed to DW.
China enters the Citadel
Concerns over China's growing influence in Europe, not just economically but also politically, are dealt with in a new policy document from MERICS, the Berlin-based Mercator Institute for China Studies, titled: "Authoritarian Advance: Responding to China's Growing Political Influence in Europe".
The report deals primarily with political issues but it also urges EU action on some economic fronts, notably on how the bloc deals with Chinese investment.
It says that the EU "needs to continue providing alternatives to the promises of Chinese investments in European countries" and needs to avoid scenarios where falls in its own structural funding opens the door for Chinese investment.

The report also says that the EU should employ a "screening" mechanism which prevents any Chinese investment that is deemed to "run against European interests".
"While the EU should welcome foreign investment in general, it must be able to stop any state-driven takeover of companies in systemically important sectors," it says.
How the Kuka crumbles…
Germany — unsurprisingly, given the volume of Chinese investment that has already flowed into the country — is already on the alert. A major impetus for the German tightening of regulations was the takeover by Chinese conglomerate Midea of German robotics manufacturer KUKA in 2016. It was a wake-up call.
"KUKA is a key player in industry 4.0," says Oliver Emons of the Hans Böckler Foundation, a research body of the German Trade Union Confederation.
Oliver Emons, an observer of Chinese investments in GermanyImage: Hans-Böckler-Stiftung
To see such a respected, high-tech company fall into Chinese hands hurts. On the other hand, it was just the rule of the market in action — KUKA needed money, Midea needed the tech and in a form of economic OK-Cupid, they found each other.
As well as this kind of natural coupling, Chinese companies have in recent years cultivated an image of being seen to genuinely care about the long-term well-being of the German companies they invest in.
A study by the Hans Böckler Foundation found Chinese investment, on the whole, to be a positive thing. "If you look at the investments, we see that a large proportion of companies remain committed to their investments and to the staff," Emons, author of the study, told DW.
China's investment image takes a hit
There is another side to this though. When that study was being written, the first cases of job cuts were not yet known. For example, the former Osram subsidiary Ledvance, now in Chinese hands, cut 1,300 jobs recently.
KUKA also reportedly wants to cut around 250 jobs at its Augsburg headquarters, around a third of the workforce. Midea has given a jobs guarantee and KUKA boss Til Reuter says any job losses are unrelated to the Chinese presence.
Duisburg: New Silk Road destination
Emons has his doubts. "Would he have done that were the Chinese not there?" he wonders. He believes that these kinds of cases will harm the image of Chinese investors and will fuel the already latent fear that exists over selling German technology to the Chinese.
For Sun Yi over at EY, such fears are unfounded. "First of all, the Chinese are not the biggest investors in Germany. The USA, Britain and the Swiss are all ahead of them," she explains.
"Secondly, with a few exceptions, the companies in Germany and Europe that Chinese firms have invested in generally have had nowhere left to grow within their own markets."

THE CADDY: Seattle-born PGA pro golfer Jeff Gove gets ready to tee off at the 16th hole of the FBR Open in Scottsdale Saturday, while his caddy looks on. The total spectator attendance for this week-long event was 507,990, a little short of last year�s total.
A sports fan may expect to hear students chanting "A-S-U" and "Let's Go Devils" at an ASU football game, but probably not at a golf tournament.

Head-to-Head Fishing on Outdoor Channel
The Outdoor Channel Thursday announced the creation of Ultimate Match Fishing.
The series will pit 12 of the nation's best professional bass anglers against each other in head-to-head, seeded, bracketed, single-elimination competition, the network said.
Joe Thomas, host of Outdoor's Angler on Tour and a professional angler for 20 years, will host.
The UMF competition will take place on Kentucky Lake in April and May, and the 13-episode series will begin airing in July. The Moors Resort and Marina will host the tournament. The winner takes home $50,000.
For the first time in more than 20 years -- which is essentially the modern era of competitive bass angling -- the top names and personalities associated with this dynamic and growing sport will be pitted one-on-one, and it will be seen only on The Outdoor Channel," senior vice president of programming Wade Sherman said in a prepared statement.

specifies options for the FILE statement that are valid in all operating environments. For information about these options, see the FILE statement in SAS Language Reference: Dictionary.
For information about these options, see Host-Specific External I/O Statement Options in the FILENAME statement.
Many of the DCL print qualifiers are also supported as host options in the FILE and FILENAME statements. For details, see Printer Options in the FILENAME and FILE Statements in the FILENAME statement.
Note: When using the PIPE device with the FILE statement, only the LRECL host option is supported.
By default, PUT statement output is written to the SAS log. Use the FILE statement to route this output to either the same external file to which procedure output is written or to a different external file. You can indicate whether carriage-control characters should be added to the file.
The ENCODING= option is valid only when the FILE statement includes a file specification that is not a reserved fileref. If the FILE statement includes the ENCODING= option and the reserved filerefs LOG or PRINT as the file-specification, then SAS issues an error message. The ENCODING= value in the FILE statement overrides the value of the ENCODING= system option.
This FILE statement uses the default filename form of the file specification (PRICES has not been assigned as a SAS fileref or OpenVMS logical name). Therefore, SAS looks for the file PRICES.DAT in the current directory.
When SAS writes a file, it creates a new version by default. For example, if your default directory contains versions 1 and 2 of the file PRICES.DAT, then this FILE statement writes PRICES.DAT;3 in your default directory.

NEW DELHI: To celebrate six years of Range Rover Evoque Landmark, British luxury car manufacturer Land Rover has launched a special edition of the compact SUV for £39,000 (approx Rs 32 lakh) in the UK, said the company in a statement. The Range Rover Evoque Landmark Special Edition will make its global debut at the Royal Windsor Horse Show on May 10, when orders will open.
The Evoque Landmark is available in Moraine Blue colour – inspired by the turquoise lakes of the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
Land Rover's Halewood production plant in the UK has built 600,000 units of the Evoque in last six years. Six years after going on sale, sales reached an all-time high for a single month with almost 18,000 units sold in March 2017.
The Evoque Landmark Edition is also available in Yulong White and Corris Grey. It has grey exterior design details including a Carpathian Grey contrast panoramic roof, 19-inch Gloss Dark Grey alloy wheels and Graphite Atlas grille, bonnet, fender vent and tailgate lettering.
The luxury automaker further added, "An Evoque rolls off the Halewood production line every 170 seconds, with Evoque Convertible also being produced in Halewood since 2016. Most are for export to one of 130 markets, with additional manufacturing in China and Brazil to meet local market demand."
"In fact, 80 per cent of UK-built Evoque models are exported. Jaguar Land Rover generates around 80 per cent of its revenue from overseas sales," continued the company.
"What makes Evoque so special is its relevance. The design remains modern and fresh. The Evoque is widely acknowledged to have brought a whole new youthful generation of buyers into the Range Rover brand, including more women. Its success was clear from the start and gave us the confidence to break new ground, which you can see with vehicles like the Evoque Convertible," said Gerry McGovern, Land Rover, Chief Design Officer.
The Landmark Special Edition comes with Land Rover's latest technology including the optional 10-inch InControl Touch Pro system featuring apps such as Spotify and a 4G Wi-Fi hotspot. The Remote Premium app for a smartphone or smart watch lets owners check the fuel level, lock status, location and even pre-heat or cool the cabin.
Those wanting an even more enhanced Evoque infotainment experience can opt for Touch Pro Services, which offer real-time traffic mapping, satellite and 'street level' views and a 'Live Apps' sidebar with weather, news headlines, and a flight tracker.


Medical staff in Sri Lanka say at least 18 civilians have been killed as the military continues its offensive on the northern bases of Tamil Tiger rebels. Hospital officials said the number killed in fighting around Kilinochchi and Mullaitivu could be much higher. The military said Mullaitivu – the last major rebel stronghold – was now surrounded, but it denied rebel claims that civilians came under attack. A military spokesman told the BBC that the allegation was propaganda.

A Calgary cyclist has been charged in the death of an 75-year-old pedestrian who was fatally injured while walking in a marked intersection five months ago.
Paul Joseph MacNeil, 24, faces charges under the Traffic Safety Act of failing to stop at a red light and careless driving.
On July 16, the senior citizen was walking across Richmond Road, a block south of 17th Avenue S.W., when he was struck by a man on a bicycle.
Police said at the time the cyclist had failed to stop at a red light.
The victim was taken to hospital but succumbed to his injuries three days later.
A conviction of careless driving carries a maximum sentence of up to six months in jail. Other penalties for the two Traffic Safety Act charges include fines and licence suspension.
At the time, police said the cyclist stayed at the scene and was treated for minor injuries.
MacNeil's case is next in court on March 1.

Seventh edition of Transport Research Arena (TRA) in Vienna: UIC steps forward once more
EU project
The seventh edition of Transport Research Arena concluded last Thursday at the Reed Messe hall in Vienna, after a successful week of interactive sessions and an exhibition area with more than 90 exhibitors (16 – 19 April 2018). With digitalisation firmly set as the key topic for 2018 and onward, this edition of TRA chose the more precise theme "A Digital Era for Transport – Solutions for Society, Economy and Environment".
Violeta Bulc, Commissioner for Mobility and Transport, and Norbert Hofer, Austrian Federal Minister for Transport, Innovation and Technology, opened the conference with an address emphasising the impact of research, development and innovation on the development of sustainability. Commissioner Bulc particularly highlighted the need to continue fighting and further reducing, through research, the various negative externalities of transportation and encouraged researchers to be bold in their approach. She concluded her speech with these words: "Dream, manifest and deliver". Bundesminister Norbert Hofer then took the floor and delivered an inspiring speech on the benefits that digitalisation will bring to the sector, and expressed the hope that TRA 2018 would prove the birthplace of significant innovations for the Europe of tomorrow.
TRA 2018 was the first edition to welcome all transport modes, as aviation was present for the first time, together with road, rail and waterborne. This edition of TRA thus achieved a high degree of interaction within the R&I community of the transport sector, working towards a truly digital and intermodal European transport system.
The Shift2Rail Joint Undertaking made its first appearance at TRA and successfully gathered a significant number of delegates around its stand as it promoted its railway research and innovation activities, along with the 12 Innovation Capabilities that had emerged from its Multi-Annual Action Plan review in 2017. Among many prestigious visitors, Commissioner Bulc visited the stand on 16 April to learn about the initial results from projects and to take the opportunity to be presented with the Capabilities.
The European Rail Research Advisory Council (ERRAC) was also present at TRA, in partnership with Shift2Rail, both to advertise its new research and innovation vision as set out in the Rail 2050 Vision document and to make contact with even more transport stakeholders, further broadening its understanding of the transport world.
This 2018 edition, following the previous editions in Athens (2012), Paris (2014) and Warsaw (2016), provided an opportunity for the International Union of Railways (UIC) and its members to participate and demonstrate their unwavering support and commitment to research and innovation activities as key elements in the development of the future European transport system, with railways as its backbone.
The UIC team attended the TRA sessions with a view to learn as much as possible from all the other sectors and to present a number of projects in which the UIC is involved at this important multimodal event. In particular, Jacques Colliard presented a review of all UIC security projects and Grigore Havarneanu presented the SAFER-LC project (http://safer-lc.eu/) during the ST45: 10.1 Road Infrastructure Analysis, Management & Improvements session on 18 April (http://safer-lc.eu/IMG/pdf/tra2018_11144_havarneanu.pdf).
Christine Hassoun represented the H2020 funded project NetiRail, as well as a number of other Shift2Rail JU funded projects (among others OptiYard, in2Track, Opeus) John Lutz took part in running the show for the S2R OptiYard project, together with the GoF4R and ST4RT Shift2Rail projects. Last but not least, Axel Gougelet represented UIC at the ERRAC stand and was a contact point for the Research and Innovation Coordination Group (RICG) throughout the event.

I swear this isn't just a commercial for my eBay store, but if you happened to go there and buy something, I would not disapprove of your selfless behavior.
§ September 11th, 2018 § Filed under advertising, how the sausage is made, promo, self-promotion, Uncategorized § 3 Comments
So here's the thing: I'm still planning on an End of Civilization post, but I just haven't had the time to start putting it together yet. I've barely even cracked open the new Previews …I have no idea if that deluxe hardcover edition of Swamp Thing Meets Jesus is finally announced, or if the last issues of the Sonic Distruptors mini-series have finally been solicited. Could be in there, I have no idea.
But anyway…usually when I'm having a lunch break at work, I'll buzz through the Previews and pick out some likely suspects for my EoC post, and then write up the "humorous" "gags" at home. Alas, this month my lunch breaks have been less leisurely and more "cram this food down my throat so I can get back to processing these huge collections I have to process" and "oh Lordy I gotta get all these things on eBay" and…well, you know, actual work. So, no Previews perusal has occurred as of yet. But soon…soooooooon. Hopefully before the DC Universe streaming service starts up next weekend and I suddenly disappar into binge-watching the Constantine series at long last.
Soooooo…let's shoot for next Monday for the new End of Civilization. Agreed? Agreed! (I totally spoke for you there, I hope you don't mind.)
In the meantime, let me tell you about some of the stuff I've been working on and processing (and may eventually get to my eBay store, if it's not there already, and if it's ite> already sold). Basically, former boss Ralph (I'm trying not to call him "old boss Ralph," y'know) broght me more boxes of promotional funnybook items from the Good Ol' Days, back when there was only one (or two) X-Men series, when many titles still had triple-digit numbering, when the only "-gate" we had to worry about had "Water" in front of it. I've been digging though them, and within I found:
Malibu Sun #13 from 1992:
…featuring a preview of Spawn #1, back when Image and Malibu Comics were briefly iinked together. As others have commented when I posted a pic of this on the Twitters…"that's some logo." Anyway, there are some black and white pin-ups by McFarlane inside, and a short (very short, since it had barely existed at this point) history of Image Comics and where it came from and why, and boy howdy do these things go for a pretty penny on the eBay.
Valiant Comics loved its chromium, as evidenced by this wee little "Ninjak on Sale" display piece from 1994 (I presume):
Measures about 5 by 8 inches, and is basically just a miniature version of the cover to the first ossie drawm by future Marvel head honcho Joe Quesada.
"Hey, where's the new issue of Thor Corps ?" "Why, right below the Thor Corps 'New Arrivals' sign, of course!"
Dated 1992. Odd choice to represent Marvel's publishing line for All Time on a sign that'd be posted about the new comics and left there 'til it sunfaded into nothingness, but who am I to judge?
Speaking of odd choices, please enjoy this unopened pack of First Comics stickers from 1983:
And a closer look at said stickers:
Now, I read and enjoyed Mars as it was coming out, but even I'm like "…what would I do with a bunch of Mars cover stickers?" But stickers featuring First Comics mascot Teddy Q — well, those have no end of uses!
My favorite piece so far is the one that's in the worst condition (a lot of dings and creases, but somehow never actually displayed!)…this promo poster for the second issue of the original magazine series of Nexus , from 1982:
Never did buy all those original mag-sized Nexus issues…got the third one for the flexidisc, but was otherwise satisfied with the trade collection First released years later. Also, that's Paul Gulacy art on that nice-lookin' cover, which I misidentified as "Steve Rude" in my rush to get this thing listed. Ah, well…fixed now.
You know, every time I'm reminded of Nexus, it makes me want to go back and reread all the comics. Man, I don't have time for that…I'm behind on the new comics as it is. Anyway, Nexus is a good comic, is what I'm trying to say.
Next time…more stuff!

Turan, Emissary of the Fly World says:
One of the lines that was folded into Malibu Comics was Eternity Comics. What does it say about me that I have about ten times as much from Eternity as Image?
Mind, when it comes to original material, my collections of both lines is about even. What I mostly bought from Eternity was their reprint collections. Especially the detective series: Sherlock Holmes, Charlie Chan, the Saint, etc. The paper was the cheapest sort of newsprint, the reproduction was barely above Xerox level, but no one else was doing anything like this, so they won my loyalty.
Oh, and THE UNCENSORED MOUSE. This was a reprint of the earliest "Mickey Mouse" newspaper strips, which apparently had fallen in the public domain. Eternity's promotion of this leaned hard on the idea that the strips were somehow naughty–the covers were solid black, apart from blurbs that contained such words as "uncensored" and "uncut," and the comics were bagged, so that children could not peak at them. This was an approach guaranteed to provoke Disney's ire, which I presume is why the series was canceled after only two issues (though at least two more had been solicited). In case you are wondering: the "naughty" part was a sequence in which Mickey's plane crashes in the jungle, and he encounters natives who are racist caricatures.
Jon Rollins says:
I love promotional ephemera for comic books.
Jim Kosmicki says:
I remember Eternity fondly as well for their comic strip reprints, but there was also Pioneer Comics at the time https://www.comics.org/publisher/619/ that published what I remember as reformatted strip reprints on poor quality paper. Blackthorne also had some reprints – with many, many issues of Shel Dorf's Dick Tracy reprints among others – https://www.comics.org/publisher/485/
Dragon Lady Press – https://www.comics.org/publisher/513/ did magazine size reprints – not the best paper, but generous amounts of reprints
There was also always Pacific Comics Club reprints –
https://www.comics.org/publisher/497/ and Tony Raiolo – https://www.comics.org/publisher/6535/ for what I recall as slightly better quality reprints. Not to mention Flying Buttress

The Jackson Charitable Foundation is teaming up with Ramsey Education again to double its investment to financial education access in high school. The Foundation is sponsoring Ramsey Education's Foundations in Personal Finance curriculum for 500 high schools for the 2019-2020 school year at no cost to the schools. Since this partnership began in 2018, the Foundation has committed $1.6 million toward financial education for high school students across the country.
Last year, the Foundation sponsored 250 high schools and reached more than 20,000 students across the United States. These sponsored schools were considered urgent or high-need based upon teacher interest in financial literacy and a lack of funding for the curriculum.
Andy Troeger, Director of College Advising at Hope Christian School, a recipient of the sponsorship during the 2018-2019 school year, sees the immense value of financial education in high school and is thrilled to see the impact the curriculum has had on his students.
Foundations in Personal Finance is a semester-long, classroom-ready curriculum that features more than 12 hours of video lessons taught by Dave Ramsey and his team of experts. It includes 12 chapters covering important money topics that build financial confidence.
Danny Craig, Sponsorships Advisor with Ramsey Education, sees the importance of working together with the Foundation due to their shared mission to increase financial education.
The Foundations in Personal Finance program by Ramsey Education meets personal finance standards in all 50 states as well as all Jump$tart National Standards. There are more than 100 classroom activities and 90 hours of curriculum that utilize blended learning and include options for schools that may not have consistent access to technology.
Dorenda Dodge, Vice Principal and Personal Finance Instructor at Shenandoah Valley Academy, appreciates how easy it is for students to access the materials.
In addition to sponsoring curriculum for classrooms across the country, the Foundation will also serve as the presenting sponsor of Ramsey Education's Financial Literacy Month campaign in April. Financial Literacy Month helps to raise awareness for all Americans to learn more about personal finance, and the campaign celebrates the contributions teachers make to personal finance education for students.
Educators and schools interested in a sponsorship for the 2019-20 school year can complete a sponsor application. Learn more about Jackson Charitable Foundation's sponsorship of Ramsey Education's Foundations in Personal Finance.

Olivia is 20 today! She's a sweetie!
We headed out for pizza at Mellow Mushroom.
Then, back to the dorm for presents. Lots of presents.
We finished with our family favorite pound cake and then Olivia had to do some homework. Not as much fun as presents but a necessary part of a twenty-year-old life.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a Bundt pan. In a mixing bowl, cream sugar, butter and shortening. Beat in eggs. Add flour, whipping cream, and vanilla extract. Bake for 1 and 1/2 hours. Cool 10 minutes in pan. Invert on wire rack and remove cake from pan. Cool completely.
Happy Birthday to Olivia! She has gotten so tall!

The hostel "Mirichos" began operating in October 2001 as part of the E.U. Program Leader II. It offers 7 completely-equipped studios each with a separate bathroom, television, refrigerator, central heating and parking space, thus offering all the comforts a visitor wishes while on vacation. It is built at an altitude 900 meters overlooking the village and the river with Mt Askio opposite it. It operates all seasons and because of it's altitude it provides an astonishingly white landscape during the winter and enjoyably cool temperatures during the summer.
The restaurant and cafe-bar are open for the visitors enjoyment providing coffee and drinks by the traditional stone fireplace with Mt. Askio spreading across the horizon and local savories and dishes for breakfast, lunch and supper. Try our specialties: prasotigania(a local dish with pork,leeks and plums), wild mushrooms, delicious pics (made by the hostess herself), petoura (a local type of noodle), all accompanied by fine tsipouro and wine are produced under the care of the owner.

A: I have done answer on own Question.
You can store in dictionary.
But UserDefaults can't save dictionary with custom data types like Image or URL .
So you need to convert dictionary to Data first before saving in defaults

REVIEW: THE GREATEST SHOWMAN
If period pieces, lights, acrobats, aerial arts, incredible singing and fantastically-choreographed dancing sounds like a bit of you, then you're going to want to see this film as it should be seen; on the big screen. And even if musicals aren't your thing, they will be after this film.
20th Century Fox's The Greatest Showman is set in 1800s America, portraying the rise and fall of P.T. Barnum, of Barnum & Bailey Circus. Barnum, a poor youth, marries an upper-class girl (Williams) and promises her a life of prosperity, which he has been unable to provide. After being made redundant, Barnum takes a brave leap and pursues a large bank loan, which he uses to open his self-titled P.T. Barnum Museum. With minimal sales and unlikely successes, Barnum recruits for "unusual" stars, and enlists a bearded woman, a dwarf performer, a tattooed man, and more to bring his museum to life – becoming one of America's most famous showmen, and transforming performance to what we know now as a modern circus.
The circus "freaks", as they are known by indignant locals, really are a celebration of humanity, making this film beautifully inclusive, thought provoking and inspiring.
Hugh Jackman proves he has it all by playing Barnum with such ebullience. He has the killer chords, the actor's charm, and effortless moves with ease. Jackman is perfectly complemented by the slick moves of Barnum's ringmaster apprentice Efron (who has come a long way since the High School Musical days!). Add a sprinkle of songstresses Loren Allred and Zendaya's powerful voices, and you have a goosebumps-inducing, hair-raising musical classic.
The Greatest Showman is an absolute feast for the eyes and ears, with lavishly fantastic set, incredibly well sown cut scenes, and consistent period costume consistency. This magical musical is bound to delight and bring joy to everyone in the family, and while somber in parts, is exactly what you'd want out of a circus extravaganza. Having been in the works since 2009, this is a film of picturesque perfectionism, with original songs, original choreography and an original flavour.
Critics and audiences are already making a song and a dance about this spectacular showcase, and the hype definitely isn't slowing down any time soon – for good reason.

What happened to the 100-yard rushing effort?
By Lorenzo Reyes November 1, 2013 11:53 am
"There have been just 32 100-yard rushing games through the season's first eight weeks — down from 54 last season and 50% less than the previous low in the past decade (48 in 2009)."
Adrian Peterson, LeSean McCoy, running backs, NFL


AT&T has agreed to pay US$700,000 and refund certain customers said to have been overcharged on smartphone plans, after the Federal Communications Commission found that some customers were moved to more expensive monthly plans without their consent.
From September, 2009, the operator began requiring smartphone subscribers to purchase a monthly data plan as a condition for receiving wireless voice service. But customers covered under a "grandfathering policy" were not required to move to a monthly plan unless they upgraded an old smartphone, or they opted for the monthly plan, in which case they also lost their special status.
Some AT&T smartphone subscribers who were eligible to be charged for data under a pay-per-use plan or had data blocked on their phones under the grandfathering policy were however moved to a monthly data plan by the operator, according to a consent decree posted on the FCC's website.
Shortly after AT&T began mechanized enforcement of its monthly data plan from Nov. 1, 2009, the FCC said it began receiving complaints from AT&T subscribers about the addition of monthly data plans to their accounts. Some of the complaining subscribers alleged that they were, or appeared to be, grandfathered subscribers who should not have been subject to AT&T's mandatory monthly data plan requirement, according to the consent decree. A grandfathered subscriber is one who used a smartphone with a pay-per-use data plan or a data block on AT&T's network, prior to Nov. 1, 2009.
Some consumers who replaced their old phones under warranty or insurance, or who moved to a new residence were switched to the monthly plans, even though AT&T had said the grandfathering policy would continue to apply in these situations, FCC said in a statement on Tuesday.
AT&T has agreed to pay the FCC $700,000 which is described as a "voluntary contribution" and also provide the option of a refund to grandfathered customers who were moved to the new monthly plan without their consent, to the extent of the difference between the monthly plan and the pay-per-use plan. The customers will also be given the option to move back to their original plan.
The excess charges that AT&T has agreed to refund to individual customers could be as much as $25 to $30 a month, depending on data use, FCC said.


The beautiful country of Netherlands is host to many sensational discoveries in pretty much every field known to humanity, from science to art and design. The Dutch are responsible for most of the world's surrealism art movements, the birth of electronic music genre, and the first complete map of the world, as well as those weird zig-zag chairs everyone is afraid of sitting down on.
We are keeping track of this exciting country's advances with impatience and will make sure we keep the section of the site dedicated to Online Netherland Casinos Rating updated according to the latest changes in the law.
Here's how it works. Because taking a chance on your money is usually considered a very bad idea, we have created a system (a rating agency of sorts) of keeping track of casinos from all over by selecting the best ones and creating dedicated pages for them with everything you need to make the best selection.
We have compiled lists of our casinos according to their reliability, your feedback, and, last but not least, our opinion. The casinos that are at the top of the list have all the best reviews, reputation, and hard evidence to back that up. How do we know?
The system is built on user reviews. When and if you send a complaint to us it gets forwarded to a casino representative who is given 100 hours to get the issue resolved. If they don't, the casino goes down in the list, and, if they collect enough negative points, they go down all the way to the bottom. Consequently, their more opportunistic colleagues resolve complaints, move up on the list, and attract more clients.
Your reviews stay on the site forever, which means we by no means delete them. Your opinion matters!
Tell us about your complaint and we help you resolve it.
The casinos at the top are the most tried and trusted with their representatives at hand.
By determining your location we have retracted casinos that don't accept players from your country from the list. As the notification says, if we have jumped the gun, you can undo it.
Filters on the right can help you sort the objects of your affection in the order you need them.
Our rating is a quick and effective way of getting straight to the point.
Take a look at the bonuses (we know that is by far the most attractive part for most people, and it should be).
If you live in New York, you're a New Yorker. People who live in Australia are Australians. Makes sense, right? You'd think it was that simple with The Dutch. But nothing is simple with the Dutch. The country is called The Kingdom of Netherlands. Holland is the name of only two provinces but is also often used to describe the whole country (which is why it is all so confusing).
The people who live in the country of Netherlands are Dutch. There is no country called Holland. Like, it doesn't exist. Holland is a province. Actually, two provinces. Got it?
Gambling in Netherlands has been around for centuries. That is not a figure of speech. And we have been known to be a little dramatic sometimes: the HR told us a million times not to exaggerate.
Given that Netherlands is one of the world's most developed countries, the resourceful Dutch are keeping up with the times: soon all land-based gambling is to be announced completely legal as the country's biggest casino, aptly named Holland Casino, becomes privatized.
The Dutch Gambling Authority has been around since 1996 to oversee that all online gambling activities are completely secure for the citizens and that the software is completely safe. It protects the citizens that abide by the law and punishes operators who provide services without a license, so make sure that you use those casinos that have a license. Dodgy casinos on our list make it to the blacklist.
As Netherlands fight to pass the new bill which will set things straights with a sky-high casino revenue tax, we recommend you get there as soon as you can and start playing before casino service providers start paying almost a third of their revenue to the government in 2018, which will undoubtedly have an effect on the gamers.


You've may have heard that term "initial coin offering" but don't quite fully understand it. Even the people holding ICOs or buying tokens in them may not fully grasp what's going on either.
A few things we can establish: An ICO is what you get if bitcoin and Kickstarter had a baby — a crowdsale of a new crypto asset (with a cryptocurrency like bitcoin being one type of crypto asset) that powers some kind of peer-to-peer blockchain network. They enable new business models. They are making a lot of money for the developers and entrepreneurs who are launching them. And we're not really sure how legal they are. But there is a lot of speculative activity, irrational exuberance and activity we would call illegal if this were something that was regulated by the SEC — and so far they've kept mum about the subject.
But clearly, something is afoot, and that's what prompted William Mougayar, general partner at early stage fund Virtual Capital Ventures and author of The Business Blockchain, to launch Token Summit, a conference next week where the leaders of this cutting-edge industry will discuss the trend.
That's why investors are trying to get in on these crowdsales. So far, $380 million has been poured into ICOs, despite the fact that it's so early, it's nearly impossible to know which ones will survive, let alone actually take off.
While the technology holds a lot of possibility, the ease with which developers can now raise millions of dollars — a white paper and a blockchain-based crowd sale seem sufficient — is causing some alarm. More than $350 million having been raised in ICOs — and the vast majority had no actual product. Tomaino said, "If you look at the past 10 years in startups broadly outside of the blockchain world, pretty much every company that has raise money pre-product has failed." A famous example is Clinkle, a mobile payments company that raised $25 million for its product in seed funding and disappeared in two years. "The token sales are being used as funding first, and I think this model over time will change," says Tomaino, who is already seeing some groups raising a small round from traditional investors and then launching a product with a crowdsale.
However, it looks like investors don't care anyway. So how does one decide which ones to invest in? Tomaino says because of the similarity between the terms ICO and IPO, people think of these as IPOs, but they're not — this is more like early stage investing. "In a startup, the most important thing is the people, and the reality is most people don't have the time to meet the founders of all these projects," says Tomaino.

California has the world's famous redwood tree, a plant that is so huge that a car or a big truck can easily pass through the center of it.

Santa Ana Pest Control Tip #1:
How to get rid of rats in my house – The answer is easy – use snap traps. Snap traps are the most reliable rat removal method available, but not knowing how to use those snap traps can either make or break your venture. The first step in getting rid of rats is to seal off all the exterior openings of your home. It may not seem like the best idea, as you will be leaving nuisance rats inside your home. However, this is the first crucial step towards getting rid of all those rats. The rats present inside your house are the only rats you will need to worry about and that is why you sealed off the exterior holes in the first place.
Rodents use pheromones to attract other rodents. By sealing off those entrances, you stop new rats from entering into the new territory.

Wild animals caught inside the traps are most likely be afraid, and will often act impulsively. Try to keep the animal as calm as possible. Most people like to throw a blanket over the trap before moving in. This will help them calm down a little bit. Also, wear old clothes when moving these wild animals as they often release a smelly musk, especially when they are nervous or frightened.
Use a truck whenever possible to transport the wild animal because of the potential smell from the musk. However, if you are using a car to transport the animal, consider lining the vehicle with old blankets. When you are ready to release the wild animal, make sure to take it at least 5 miles off your property. Release them far away from other homes as well. Another thing to consider is to take the trap into the woodland area before opening it, ensuring the wild animal does not flee from the road immediately.
