Edmund McMillen, the creator of the popular The Binding of Isaac series, has teased a special announcement to be made on June 27, 2018.
Although McMillen hasn't disclosed what exactly the game is about yet, he has given a few hints. McMillen confirmed that the game is not a sequel, not DLC, and not anything he has already announced. Interestingly, it's a multiplayer game, a spinoff from The Binding of Isaac series, and only features amazing artwork made by fans of the series.
McMillen also said he worked on the game alongside his wife, family, and friends, and it's a type of game he hasn't made before.

New Delhi: Government has invited merchant bankers to help it sell minority stakes in 51 companies, including RIL, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank and L&T, and is looking at exiting them within three years.
The Specified Undertaking of UTI (SUUTI) has investments in these 51 listed as well as unlisted companies, like Hindustan Unilever, ITC Ltd, Jaiprakash Associates and a host of Tata Group firms.
The Centre plans to raise Rs 36,000 crore from stake sale in PSUs in 2016-17 and expects Rs 20,500 crore through strategic sales of SUUTI stake.
Government holds minority stake in these companies through SUUTI, which was formed in 2003 as an offshoot of erstwhile UTI, and is looking at selling them either through an OFS, block deal, bulk deal or regular sale through stock exchanges.
As per the Request for Proposal, SUUTI plans to appoint up to three merchant bankers/advisers and selling brokers for assisting and advising on the SUUTI Holdings for a period of three years.
"The advice shall be regarding sale of the shares held by SUUTI in various companies either through the Offer For Sale (OFS), Block Deal, Bulk Deal, Regular sale through Stock Exchange or any such other mechanism subject," the RFP said, while inviting bids from merchant bankers by 1 August.
The bankers would have to put in a single consolidated bid for the entire SUUTI Holdings. However, the sale process of each of the 51 companies would be carried out individually.
Of the 51 companies in which SUUTI holds stake, 8 are unlisted entities -- NSDL, STCI Finance, Over The Counter Exchange, Stock Holding Corporation of India, UTI-IAS Ltd and UTI Infrastructure Technology Services, North Eastern Development Finance Corporation and NSDL e-Governance Infrastructure.
Sale of SUUTI holdings would help swell government's disinvestment kitty. It has also kept the option open for including those companies in which SUUTI holds stake in the second CPSE Exchange Traded Fund, which the government plans in the current fiscal.
The government has set up an ambitious disinvestment target of Rs 56,500 crore for 2016-17. Of the budgeted target, Rs 36,000 crore is to come from minority stake sale in PSUs and the remaining Rs 20,500 crore is estimated to come from strategic sale in both profit and loss-making companies.
In March 2014, the government had sold 9 percent of its stake in Axis Bank held through SUUTI for over Rs 5,500 crore. As per the RFP, merchant bankers would be required to advise on all statutory or regulatory norms and assist in securing all approvals and exemptions from regulatory agencies such as Sebi, stock exchanges, FIPB, DIPP, RBI, MCA in respect of the companies constituting the SUUTI Holdings.
They will also be required to hold domestic and international roadshows to generate interest amongst prospective investors and arrange meetings with the key investors and facilitate communication.
"All expenses in this regard will be borne by the Merchant Bankers except the tour expenses of SUUTI and company officials," the RFP said.
The merchant bankers will have to undertake market research, assist in the pricing of the issue, allocation of shares and provide after sale support in respect of the companies constituting the SUUTI Holdings.
Selected merchant bankers will have to submit to the SUUTI separate list of institutional and other major investors, both, domestic and international, (indicating name and address) to be approached for the sale in respect of the companies constituting the SUUTI Holdings.

Andrew Cashner to Rangers: Latest Contract Details, Comments, Reaction
by Scott Polacek under MLB
Andrew Cashner turned in arguably the worst season of his career in 2016, but the Texas Rangers took a chance on him Friday to the tune of a one-year, $10 million contract.
Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported the terms of the agreement. TR Sullivan of MLB.com also passed along word of the free-agent signing.
Cashner started his career with the Chicago Cubs and pitched down the stretch of the 2016 season for the Miami Marlins after they acquired him from the San Diego Padres via trade. He posted a 5.98 ERA and 1.75 WHIP in 12 appearances for Miami, which both would have represented career-worst numbers throughout an entire season.
However, Cashner flashed his potential as a No. 2 or 3 starter in 2013 and 2014 with the Padres. He posted a 1.13 WHIP in each season and appeared to be coming into his own as an impact pitcher at the major league level. Still, there was a drastic decline in performance the next two years:
Injuries are part of the concern, as he went on disabled list in 2016 with a strained neck and dealt with a shoulder injury and elbow injury in 2014 that limited him to just 19 starts. Considering he hasn't been the same since that 2014 campaign, it is not hard to speculate his health impacted his overall performance.
At his best, Cashner's fastball often exceeds 95 mph, per FanGraphs. If he can remain healthy in 2017 and tap into the effective power pitcher he was from 2013-14, the Rangers will end up with one of the better under-the-radar signings of the offseason.
He'll likely join a rotation headlined by Cole Hamels and Yu Darvish. Finding more mid-rotation options to bolster the group behind those co-aces was one of the biggest things on the team's offseason to-do list. A bounce-back year from the newest addition would be a key step in the right direction.
He is still just 30 years old and should be relatively fresh considering he has never pitched more than 184.2 innings in a season throughout his career. Cashner's new team hopes that translates into an effective 2017 effort.

Q: Joining two IQueryables My issue is a bit hard to explain, so bear with me, I'm going to try and explain the best I can and provide the most information I can.
So I have two tables:
[Table("Items")]
public class Item : BaseModel
{
  [Key]
  [Column("Id")]
  public Guid Id { get; set; }

  [Column("DescriptionId")]
  public Guid DescriptionId { get; set; }

  [ForeignKey("Id")]
  public LanguageText LanguageText { get; set; }

  [ForeignKey("DescriptionId")]
  public LanguageText DescriptionText { get; set; }
}

[Table("Shops")]
 [Serializable]
 public class Shop: BaseModel
{
    [Key]
    [Column("Id")]
    public Guid Id { get; set; }

    [Column("ItemId")]
    public Guid? ItemId{ get; set; }

    [Column("Closed")]
    public DateTime? Closed{ get; set; }

    [ForeignKey("ItemId")]
    public Item ItemModel{ get; set; }
}

My queries
var items= itemRepository.GetAll()
                        .Include(x => x.LanguageText)
                        .Include(x => x.DescriptionText);

var querableShops = shopRepository.GetAll()
                        .Where(x =>!x.Closed.HasValue || (x.Closed.HasValue && x.Closed.Value >= Expiration))
                        .GroupJoin(items, s => s.ItemId, i => i.Id, (x, y) => x);

The interesting thing happens when I do my queries. When I debug querableShops and want to check out my ItemModel it is null unless I expand the Result View for items first. Because of this my items are not shown in the data grid, unless i check the items manually in debug beforehand. I think the problem is that my items are IQueryable, I did try converting it to IEnumerable, but that didn't solve my problem either.

A: Try to call ToList() to enumerate the result.

A: This is because by (x, y) => x you only select Shops and no items from the query. EF always tries to determine if entities that are part of the query really make a difference for the end result. If not, they are ignored. In this case, the items don't make a difference because -

*

*They are not projected to the result set

*The join is an outer join, so they don't have any selective effect.

Effectively, you only query Shops and I think the generated SQL will just show a simple query on this table only.
Note that a GroupJoin is not the same as an Include. If you want Shops and their items you must fetch the shops with an Include statement. The trouble of this repository layer is that this will probably incur responsibility conflicts (architecturally, that is, not technically).

Belarus, Russia, Kazakhstan work out provisional scheme to control transit via Ukraine
MOSCOW, 22 December (BelTA) – Representatives of Belarus, Russia, and Kazakhstan have held consultations upon instructions of their presidents for the sake of discussing the transit of Ukrainian merchandise and products from the European Union. The sides came up with a provisional scheme to control the transit. The scheme will be polished by the end of the year, BelTA learned from First Vice Premier of Russia Igor Shuvalov on 22 December.
The official said that consultations were held on 22 December to discuss the transit of Ukrainian merchandise or goods from the European Union, which can be transported in transit via Ukraine to Belarus and Kazakhstan. "We have worked out a provisional scheme that will allow fully controlling merchandise flows from Ukraine via Belarus or the Russian Federation to Kazakhstan. The cargoes will be convoyed. It will be totally impossible to somehow consume Ukrainian goods in the Russian Federation under the guise of transit," said Igor Shuvalov.
BelTA quoted Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko as saying during the session of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council in Moscow on 21 December that the Eurasian Economic Union member states will work out measures to protect their market after the Ukraine-EU free trade zone agreement comes into effect on 1 January 2016.
According to Alexander Lukashenko, not only Russia but other EEU member states were concerned about the issue. "A serious situation is developing around the CIS free trade zone. Not only Russia but all of us have certain concerns about it," noted the Belarus President. The Russian Federation has been discussing the problem with the European Union. No agreement has been reached so far, the EEU heads of state were told on 21 December. "We fear no talking will be done till 1 January either," said Alexander Lukashenko. "This is why a situation may occur when Ukrainian products are substituted with imports from the European Union while Ukrainian products flood our territory."
Another consideration is more alarming. If a European Union product is imported into Ukraine with zero customs duties, then it can be sold across the entirety of the Commonwealth of Independent States due to the relevant free trade agreement unless this market is protected. Russia has already taken measures to protect the market from such a situation.
According to Alexander Lukashenko, it was decided that the problem will be looked at in Q1 2016. Within half a year digital declarations will be introduced for commodities that will be transported to the Eurasian Economic Union. A similar system is already in place in Belarus-Russia trade. It can be used as a reference point in the EEU, however, a new approach may be worked out as well. "We have agreed to look through these options within half a year," said the Belarus President.
After the session Chairman of the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission Viktor Khristenko explained that plans had been made to create a common information system within half a year to register the merchandise imported into the Eurasian Economic Union. The system will track all the commodities imported into the Eurasian Economic Union. "It is something we've been unable to create up till now as a common information environment for the five customs services. The system is supposed to create an understandable and transparent situation with regard to the movement of the relevant commodities in the Eurasian Economic Union," he said.
Consequences of the Ukraine-EU free trade zone agreement will be monitored for half a year. Legal and technical instruments to information exchange will be worked out.

Q: Powershell command to move forward and backward in array I would like to be able to add functionality to a PowerShell script to move one spot forwards or one spot backwards when in a foreach loop. While looping through a foreach statement, is it possible to move forwards and backwards or to identify what point in the array the current item lies?
Edit - the items in the array are files, not numbers

A: Yes - it's called a for loop!
For data structures that we can index into (arrays, lists, etc.), the foreach loop statement can easily be translated to a for loop statement, like so:
# This foreach loop statement
foreach($item in $array){
  Do-Something $item
}

# ... is functionally identical to this for loop statement
for($i = 0; $i -gt $array.Length; $i++){
  $item = $array[$i]
  Do-Something $item
}

Since we have direct access to the current index (via $i) in the for loop, we can now use that as an offset to "look around" that position in the array:
$array = @(1,2,3,4)

for($i = 0; $i -lt $array.Length;$i++)
{
    $item = $array[$i]
    if($i -gt 0){
      # If our index position $i is greater than zero,
      # then there must be _at least_ 1 item "behind" us
      $behind = $array[$i - 1]
    }

    if($i -lt ($array.Length - 1)){
      # Not at end of array, we can also "look ahead"
      $ahead = $array[$i + 1]
    }

}

Be careful about checking that you don't use an $i value greater than $array.Length (which would result in $null) or less than 0 (in which case PowerShell will start reading the array backwards!)

Fifth annual Hilltop Street Fair scheduled for Aug. 25
Dave Davison
Cultural events abound at the Hilltop Street Fair, which takes place Aug. 25, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. along Martin Luther King Jr. Way between South 9th and South 13th Streets. The event features a car show, fashion show, cultural events, live music, arts and crafts and appearance by re-enactors dressed as members of the Buffalo Soldiers cavalry. Photos courtesy of Hilltop Street Fair.
This year marks only the fifth round for Tacoma's Hilltop Street Fair, but already this summer event happening on the heights that overlook downtown has grown by leaps and bounds and is becoming one of the best attended street fairs in Tacoma. Last year's attendance was an estimated 20,000. The free event takes place Saturday, Aug. 25 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Martin Luther King Jr. Way between South 9th and 13th Streets.
The Hilltop Street Fair offers something for everyone: music, food, art and community. The Hilltop, the area on the high bluff that presides over Commencement Bay and the Port of Tacoma, has a long and storied history and boasts a diverse population.
I lived in Hilltop back in the early 1980s when the area was infamous for its gang warfare. Even then, however, I found the neighborhood to be not without plenty of charm. If I sat on my kitchen counter I could command a view of the entire port. I loved the old houses and the shimmering domes of the orthodox church down the street, as well as the space-age tower of Saint Joseph's Hospital. My favorite treasure was a little neighborhood grocery store run by Rastafarians who had posters of Bob Marley and were always burning sumptuous incense.
The old days are gone and the charms of Hilltop are coming to be appreciated by more and more folks, which is reflected in the exponential growth of the popularity of the Hilltop Street Fair.
The Hilltop Street Fair includes all of the usual ingredients like food vendors, arts and crafts vendors, kids' activities and informational booths. Tacoma Community House, for example, will be giving away "I Stand with Immigrants and Refugees" buttons. There will also be free wellness and dental exams.
Something not found at your average street fair is a quilt show and a fashion show, both of which the Hilltop Street Fair features. The fashion show is presented by the Sound Movement Art Center, a modeling, cheer and dance class studio. Local designers get to show their creations on a fashion runway and fledgling fashion models gain some experience.
Also on hand will be historical reenactors from the 9th and 10th Horse Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers Museum (Tacoma boasts one of the two such museums in the country.) Dressed in their Union Civil War Uniforms and mounted on horseback, these men pay homage to the unsung African American soldiers that have often fought for the Unites States, despite lack of appreciation. The Buffalo Soldiers Museum is an organization that seeks to honor the America's Buffalo Soldiers. "Buffalo Soldiers," to those who don't know, was a nickname was given to the Negro Cavalry by Native American tribes who fought in the Indian Wars. The term became a generic for all black soldiers. It is now used for U.S. Army units that trace their lineage back to the 9th and 10th Cavalry units.
One of the big draws of the street fair is the car show put on by the Blacktop Rebels Car Club. All car makes and models are welcome (classics, hotrods, lowriders etc.) From my observation, members of the Blacktop Rebels tend to favor rat rods: mean machines with a wicked, careworn look, but with powerful stuff under the hood – something like the automotive version of the Millennium Falcon, the famous space ship of the Star Wars movie sagas.
Centro Latino Community Center, which puts on an annual Latin Arts Festival, has begun to do so in conjunction with the Hilltop Street Festival. Fairgoers will be able to view the Latin Arts Festival Juried Art Show at the community center at 1208 S. 10th St.
Another unique feature of the Hilltop Street Fair is its film competition. Visitors can screen work from local filmmakers who celebrate the festival's theme of celebrating diversity and inclusion. The screening is free and will be held at the Hilltop Regional Health Center in the Community Room. The building is located at 1202 Martin Luther King Jr. Way.
The Hilltop Street Fair Film Competition is sponsored by the Hilltop Action Coalition, the 2018 Hilltop Street Fair and the Tacoma Arts Commission. The competition runs 12–4 p.m. The family friendly submission categories included: documentaries, drama, comedies and more. The award ceremony starts at 3 p.m.
A staple of any street fair is live music and entertainment. The Hilltop Street Fair boasts four stages that will be playing live music all day long. As of this printing, only the lineup for the Eleven Eleven Stage (at The Eleven Eleven bar – 1111 S. 11th St.) has been disseminated. At the Eleven Eleven beer garden, free entertainment runs from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and will feature The Shivering Denizens, Ancestors of God, Barnyard Stompers, Old Foals, Ball Bag, Bryson Foster Band, Sky Giants and Halcion Halo.
The Hilltop Street Fair is presented by Hilltop Business Association with partnerships and support from The City of Tacoma, Tacoma Arts Commission, KBTC Public Television, Community Health Care, Associated Ministries, Allen AME, Blacktop Rebels CC, The Eleven Eleven, Mr Mac, Centro Latino, US Bank and more.

Guerrillas in Batangas
A Brief History of the Tanauan Guerrilla Combat Team
The Tanauan Guerrilla Combat Team was a small resistance organization operating out of the Municipality of Tanauan during the Japanese occupation and the liberation period. It was supposedly founded by one Avelino T. Tapia in July 1942 and affiliated with the Marking's Fil-American Troops (MFAT) but failed to gain official recognition as an element of the Philippine Army in the service of the Armed Forces of the United States. Some of its members, however, were recognized likely with other outfits or as individuals. In this page is a transcription1 of a brief history of the Tanauan Guerrilla Combat Team as submitted to the United States Army as support to its application for official recognition.
UNITED STATES PHILIPPINE ISLANDS FORCES
MARKING'S FIL-AMERICANS
FOURTH ARMY CORPS
ROMERO'S TROOPS
I. Date of Organization – 15 July 1942
July 15, 1942 marked the beginning of my guerrilla activities organizing a company by the name of TANAUAN GUERRILLA COMBAT TEAM, with eight rifles, 30 cal. and seven pistols, with few ammunition covering the northeastern shore of Taal Lake concealed by the organization called "SAMAHAN NG MAGKAKALAPIT BAHAY," assuming the rank of my deceased father known to the municipality of Tanauan as "KAPITANG ALBINO."
With the combat team as home guard, I contacted other guerrilla leaders in the different towns of Batangas, namely, Sto. Tomas, Malvar, Talisay, Lipa, and Rosario, and securing firearms, as well as assigning intelligence operatives who could contribute information to the organization about the enemies.
October 1, 1942 – After two and a half months, after I had almost organized a company, I contacted Lt. Col. Marcelo V. Ambat in Balubad, Silang, Cavite, and knowing his force much superior than mine, I had my unit attached so as not to be disarmed, as different guerrilla units fought for superiority, thus confirming my guerrilla rank as Captain.
October 1, 1943 – Intelligence report of the accomplishments of the American forces in the Pacific theater revealed to the members of the organization and tightly controlled the aggressive thoughts of the members for it permitted, as early as 1942, 1943, would in no doubt massacre the greater number of the population, mostly children and unarmed civilians.
Reports about the enemies sent by transmitter to the AIB headquarters through Col. HERMENEGILDO L. LOPEZ, commanding the "LONE WOLF INTELLIGENCE UNIT," and favorable news caught by shortwave of Capt. Pedro G. Tapia, Capt. Jose M. Corona, Capt. Jose Villa Panganiban, and other intelligence operatives assigned were submitted to the headquarters of Lt. Col. Marcelo V. Ambat of the UNITED STATES PHILIPPINE ISLANDS FORCES, MARKING'S FIL-AMERICANS, 2ND DIV. IV ARMY CORPS (Romero's Troops), thus promoting me to Major.
October 1, 1944 – With the combat unit as home guard standing behind me help maintain the people in peace & order, keeping alive the morale of the underground forces and civilian population, minimizing local banditry, robbers, abductions, protecting the civilians who gave financial and material aid to the organization and began counteracting the spies of the Japs in their movements.
Sketches of Japs' installations and other enemy targets were submitted to the AIB, through Colonel HERMENEGILDO L. LOPEZ of the "LONE WOLF INTELLIGENCE UNIT" stationed at Pinagolingin, Lipa, Batangas, and copy of the reports submitted to the Headquarters of Romero's Troops in Silang, Cavite, and furnished
other guerrilla units like PQOG, ROTC-HUNTERS, LIPA GUERRILLA COMBAT TEAM, with same information.
On that very date, I was promoted to the rank of Lieut. Col. and assigned as Division Chief Intelligence Operative covering Cavite and Batangas provinces, of the outfit.
In the middle part of 1943, the organization made contact with the runner of the Red Lions under Gen. Avanceña for unified, more sordid, and bigger underground activities.
With the first bombing and strafing by the Allied planes of Lipa Airfield and Malvar Auxiliary Airfield on 21st Sept. 1944, the organization intensified counter-espionage. More sketches of Japanese installations were made for transmittal to the Headquarters of the AIB, Col. ANDERSON'S UNIT, through Col. HERMENEGILDO L. LOPEZ of the "LONE WOLF INTELLIGENCE UNIT."
The American landing in Leyte on 19 October 1944 spurred the organization to greater underground activities. Shortwave tuning in was intensified. General MacArthur's instructions to civilians and guerrilla forces were intercepted and transmitted to all friendly elements. Sketches of Japs' installations continued to be made and spotted and sent to other underground organizations.
With the American landing at Nasubu, sometime in the last week of January 1945, more underground activities were continued. Jap movements caused certain changes in drawing sketches of their installations.
On [the] 3rd & 4th of February 1945, the 11th AIRBORNE DIVISION landed on Tagaytay. Shortly after this, and within the same week, the reports on underground activities were submitted to Major SCHOMMER, Command Post, and to Col. QUINTIN GELLIDON, guerrilla coordinator.
With the Airborne landing on Tagaytay, our unit helped in the eventual rescue or JOHN BOYLE & WILLIAM FOYE, two American Navy pilots, entrusted by Gen. Avanceña of [the] Red Lions, to the joint care of the unit of [the] Tanauan guerrilla organization under the late Lt. Col. Martiniano Carandang, and the organization under Lt. Col. Amando Laurel.
From the second week of Feb. 1945 began the shelling of Kalii, Talisay, Batangas, two Jap strongholds spotted by members of the intelligence operatives of the organization.
With the attachment of the organization to the 2nd Bn. under Lt. Robert of the 187th Inf. Paragliders under Gen. Pearson of the 11th Airborne Division under Gen. Swing, began the patrol, reconnaissance, ambush, and combat activities of the organization up to 8 July 1945.
On 18 March 1945, while we were stationed in Balele, Tanauan, Batangas, we were able to ambush two trucks loaded with Jap soldiers in the barrio of Payapa, Malvar, Batangas, coming from Lipa. Patrols led by Lt. Col. Gavino Colocado and I.
In the wake of the Jap massacre of the civilians in which around 800 were slaughtered, the intelligence operatives helped to indicate and map out the evacuation routes of thousands of
fleeing civilians who were guided and protected by the Combat Units from the barrios of Tanauan, Sto. Tomas, Malvar, Lipa, Rosario, to as far as Canlubang, Cabuyao, Sta. Rosa, Laguna, and across Taal Lake, and to Tagaytay City.
On 20th March 1945, we moved from Balele to Makolot Mountain. For one week, we supported Company G of Lt. Sigel, fighting ferociously in the barrio of Dita, Cuenca, on the eastern side of Makolot Mountain.
On the night of the 27th of March 1945, while on rest in the barrio of Dita, Cuenca, we were ambushed by Jap snipers who crept in the middle of the night and were able to enter our perimeter, bayoneting to death twelve of our men in the foxholes, while thirteen got wounded, one of them Lt. Robert, our battalion commander-in-charge, an American officer.
On 1st April 1945, same story happened to us where three of the four men of Lt. Col. Pedro Pacia, stopped in our bivouac area to pass the night were bayoneted to death.
On [the] 4th day of April 1945, we were taken to Lipa to guard the two bridges for almost a week.
On [the] 10th day of April 1945, we had been assigned to patrol in [the] Sapac Mountain, ambushing the Japs in the barrios of Bolbok, Talisay, Dagatan, Lumbang of Lipa.
On [the] 20th of April 1945, patrols sent by Lt. McDonald, assigning me to take charge of, we were able to rescue five Jap mules and two cows at the foot of Dalaga Mountain where about a hundred animals were scattered dead. [The] Rescued animals were given to the civilians.
April 25, 1945 – The Unit was taken to Natatas, Tanauan, Batangas to rest, while the rest were taken to Caylaway, Tagaytay City, up the latter part to protect the civilians returning to their homes from the Jap stragglers.
July 8, 1945 – The unit was released by the 11th AIRBORNE DIVISION, and turned over to the casual of the 4th Rep. Bn. Camp Murphy, Rizal, while the rest remained patrolling the liberated places from Jap stragglers under Lt. Col. MORENO.

European stocks plunged on Thursday after oil price volatility resulted in a sharp selloff on Wall Street the day before, a sign global economic and financial tumult will remain in the foreground for a while longer.
All of Europe's major stock averages turned sharply lower on Thursday. London's FTSE 100 Index was down 1% in afternoon trade. At the current pace, London's main index is down nearly 5.5% since the start of the year.
The German DAX also fell 1.8%, with more than two-thirds of its members trading in the red. The DAX has declined a staggering 9% since the beginning of the year.
The pan-European STOXX 600 Index was down 1.6%.
European stocks followed their US counterparts lower after renewed volatility in the oil markets weighed on investor sentiment on Wednesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 365 points on Wednesday, reversing back-to-back daily advances. The large-cap S&P 500 Index fell 2.5% and the Nasdaq plunged 3.4%.
US energy stocks declined nearly 2% on Wednesday amid renewed volatility in oil prices. North Sea Brent crude, the international benchmark, briefly fell below $30 a barrel after the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported a large spike in gasoline inventories, raising fresh concerns about waning demand in the world's largest economy. Gasoline inventories rose by 8.4 million barrels last week, overshadowing a much smaller than expected build in commercial crude stockpiles.

The Complicated Story of Marijuana in Colorado
By: Peter Johnson
NewsCurrent Drug Trends
In 2012, Colorado voters passed Amendment 64, making it legal to grow, consume and sell cannabis. Colorado was one of the first states to legalize cannabis. The drug had been banned across the country since 1937.
Parts of Colorado have had a cultural affinity for marijuana for decades. In the 1960s and 1970s, Boulder, Denver and Aspen were centers of hippie counterculture. Cannabis became popular during those decades, and the pot industry is booming there today. On the other hand, conservative towns, such as Colorado Springs, have banned pot sales.
Colorado's relationship with pot is complicated. But the drug probably won't go away anytime soon. Since legalization, cannabis has become a billion dollar industry.
Cannabis Prohibition in Colorado
At the end of the 19th century, cannabis was legal across the United States. Recreational use wasn't very common, but cannabis was a common ingredient in many health products.
That began to change in the 1910s and 1920s when Mexicans began to immigrate to the United States to work agricultural and manufacturing jobs. They smoked cannabis and called it marihuana. This practice was exotic to white Southwesterners.
The wave of migration prompted a backlash. Newspapers wrote sensationalized stories that accused Mexican immigrants of corrupting young people and committing violent crimes while under the influence of cannabis.
Local and state governments across the country began to restrict marijuana use. Colorado banned cannabis in 1929. The federal government followed suit in 1937, passing the Marijuana Tax Act. The act included a licensing and regulation regime, but no licenses were issued.
Federal officials gradually increased penalties for marijuana possession and cultivation. In the 1950s, first-time marijuana possession became a federal felony punishable by time in prison.
Changing Attitudes Toward Cannabis in Colorado
At the same time that federal officials were cracking down on marijuana use, the drug started to become popular again.
Cannabis use is a consistent theme of Jack Kerouac's autobiographical novel "On the Road." Sal Paradise, a character based on Kerouac, cools his heels in Denver for a while. During the Denver portion of the book, Sal tries to buy marijuana, which he calls "tea," from a Mexican on the street.
On the Road was a major countercultural document. It inspired many of the hippies who moved to Colorado in the 1960s. Denver and Boulder became focal points of the hippie scene. One of Kerouac's compatriots, noted cannabis user and poet Allen Ginsberg, occasionally lived in Boulder because of the thriving hippie scene. A library at Boulder's Naropa University is named after Ginsberg.
One of the authors' admirers, writer Hunter S. Thompson, moved to Aspen in the 1970s. Thompson ran for Pitkin County Sheriff in 1970 and advocated for complete drug legalization. He placed special emphasis on marijuana.
Thompson didn't win the election, but his idea slowly gained momentum during the next 40 years.

Coloradans are top consumers of opioid painkillers, alcohol, cocaine, and marijuana.
How Colorado Legalized Marijuana
Colorado took the first step toward legalization in 1975 when the legislature made marijuana possession a low priority for law enforcement. Possession, use and transport became misdemeanors, and a minor fine was the punishment.
Around the same time, the medical marijuana movement began to make progress. In 1979, the state legalized medical marijuana. However, the law did not actually produce a medical marijuana system. The law required federal authorization, which never happened. The medical marijuana movement continued to lobby for a real medical policy, and medical marijuana was eventually legalized by constitutional amendment in 2000.
After medical marijuana was legalized, recreational legalization became a realistic goal. SAFER, a legalization advocacy group, organized local legalization efforts during the early 2000s. It led a statewide initiative in 2006. In 2007, SAFER lobbied Denver authorities to make enforcement of marijuana possession laws the police department's lowest priority.
Meanwhile, medical marijuana dispensaries became commonplace across the state. Some Colorado residents got phony prescriptions for medical marijuana from doctors who wrote them for flimsy reasons, and many dispensaries were little more than clandestine pot shops.
Still, momentum for legalization became overwhelming. In November 2012, roughly 55 percent of the state voted to legalize recreational marijuana when it passed Amendment 64. Washington passed a similar measure that year, and the two states became the first states to legalize recreational marijuana since the prohibition push. Colorado opened the United States' first retail cannabis stores on January 1, 2014.
Effects of Marijuana Legalization in Colorado
Since legalization, Coloradans retained mixed feelings about cannabis. In November 2015, more than half of Coloradans approved of legalization, and 39 percent disapproved.
Liberal areas, such as Denver and Boulder, have booming pot industries. Colorado had 520 medical marijuana dispensaries and 479 retail stores in operation in May 2017, and cannabis tours have become popular attractions.
Meanwhile, conservative areas, such as Colorado Springs, have banned cannabis sales in city limits. The city is battling would-be marijuana entrepreneurs who opened shops in city limits.
The short- and long-term health effects of cannabis legalization remain to be seen. Usage rates have increased, according to a state report, but those numbers could reflect the decreased stigma associated with legal pot. Surveys of Colorado's youth show no meaningful change in rates of pot use, but young people's perceptions of cannabis are becoming more favorable.
Disturbingly, Coloradans vulnerable to addiction have started to consume marijuana in greater quantities, which means they have a higher possibility of developing a marijuana addiction. Colorado is one of the top states for marijuana use.
Governor John Hickenlooper described his feelings about cannabis legalization to the Los Angeles Times in 2016.
"Four years ago, if I could have had a magic wand and waved it twice and reversed that vote, I would have," Hickenlooper said. "Now, if I have that magic wand, I probably wouldn't — I would wait and see if we can make a better system.
"The old system, the War on Drugs, was a train wreck. It didn't work, so it remains to be seen whether the new system is actually going to be better."

Q: Laravel: How can I use where on a with statement? I have a url that looks like this: site.com/athletes/1
Each athlete can have many positions. From the url above, I am trying to get all athletes that belong to the position id of 1. My relationship is working great, but I am returning all athletes regardless of the url segment.
I have 3 tables: athletes, positions & athlete_position.
athletes
    id
    name

positions
    id
    name

athlete_position
    athlete_id
    position_id

Athlete.php
 public function positions()
 {
    return $this->belongsToMany('App\Position', 'athlete_position', 'athlete_id', 'position_id');
 }

Position.php
public function athletes()
{
    return $this->belongsToMany('App\Athlete');
}

AthleteController.php
public function position(Position $position) {
    $athletes = Athlete::with('positions')->get();

    dd($athletes); // returns all athletes with the position relationship
}

It's like I need something like this:
$athletes = Athlete::with('positions')->where('position_id', '=', $position->id)->get();

But that's not using the relationship correctly. Is there a way to use a where clause in the model? That way when I visit the url site.com/athletes/2 I am only getting back the athletes who belong to position id of 2?
Thank you for any suggestions!
EDIT
Everything is working great! Thank you so much @lagbox! Turns out once again I was over thinking everything.
Just a quick follow-up question. What is the best way to handle when an athlete belongs to position 1 and position 2?
When looping through the athletes in my view, should I just check the position id against the url segment to only show the specific position?
Something like:
@foreach($athletes as $athlete)
    @foreach($athlete->positions as $position)
        @if($position->id == {{ Request::segment(3) }}
          // Show the athlete
        @endif
    @endforeach
@endforeach

Otherwise, since the athlete belongs to position id 1 and 2 that athlete will show up twice in the results. I only want the athlete to show up once - for the requested position.
For example:  site.com/athletes/position/1
This is what I am seeing now.
Athlete
    name: Foo
    position_id: 1

Athlete
    name: Foo
    position_id: 2

Athlete
    name: Bar
    position_id: 1

Athlete
    name: Bar
    position_id: 2

From the same url above, this is what I would like to get back:
Athlete
    name: Foo
    position_id: 1

Athlete
    name: Bar
    position_id: 1

A: You can use whereHas to check for existence of a relationship based upon conditions.
Though it seems like you should be able to just use the Position model instance you have for this as you have the inverse relationship setup already.
$athletes = $position->athletes;
// or to also have all those athletes positions
$athletes = $position->athletes()->with('positions')->get(); // egaer loading
// or if you have `athletes` loaded already
$athletes = $position->athletes->load('positions'); // with lazy eager laoding

I have a small Eloquent Relationships article that goes over some ways to query relationships asklagbox - blog - Eloquent Relations
Updated question:
You probably don't need the athletes' positions at all since you know all the athletes you current have in that collection all have this particular one. If that is the case you can just return the $position to the view.
return view(..., ['position' => $position]);

Athletes for Position: {{ $position->name }}

@foreach ($position->athletes as $athlete)

{{ $athlete->name }}

@endforeach

Fényes Dezső (Arad, 1859. március 12. − Arad, 1917. július 14.) középiskolai természettan- és mennyiségtantanár.

Életpályája

Fényes Károly ügyvéd és Gantner Luiza fia. A nyelveket és mennyiségtant legelőször édesapja oktatta számára. Középiskoláit Aradon végezte, ahol Antolik Károly tanár ébresztette fel érdeklődését a természettani kísérletek iránt. A budapesti egyetemen és műegyetemen képezte magát középiskolai tanárrá természettanból és mennyiségtanból. 1880-ban a budapesti egyetem egyévszázados ünnepén a Thomson-Varley-féle galvánelemek tanulmányozásával pályadíjat nyert; ugyanekkor mint a tudomány- és műegyetemi olvasókör alelnöke és a tudományos vitatkozások ügyeinek előadója újjászervezte a vitatkozások ügyét és az ekkor kinyomtatott szabályzat maradt később is érvényben. 1881 januárjában Párizsba utazott, ahol a Sorbonne-on a Jules Jamin vezetése alatt álló Laboratoire des Recherches Physiques-ben a periodikus mozgások összetételére alapítható erőméresi módszerrel foglalkozott. Párizsból hazatérve, 1883-ban a budapesti műegyetemre nevezték ki az ásványföldtani tanszékhez tanársegédül, 1892. január 30-án pedig az aradi állami főreáliskolához rendes tanárnak.

Több fizikai tárgyú ismeretterjesztő cikke jelent meg. Szerkesztette a Tanszabadság c. egyetemi hetilapot Bárczi (Brix) Ivánnal együtt 1879-ben Budapesten. Jelentős része volt az Eötvös-ingával eszközölt erdélyi mérések megszervezésében és azok lebonyolításában.

Álneve és jegyei: Tiburtius és F. D. az Alföldben és Arad Vidékében.

The Crab and Winkle Line Trust
Preserving the history of the line whilst promoting it for the future as a sustainable transport link between Canterbury and Whitstable
The Beverley Farm Footpath Arch by John Burden
LOCATED at Beverley Meadow, Canterbury.
The Beverley Farm Footpath Arch was built between 1825 and 1830 during the construction of the Canterbury to Whitstable Railway to provide safe access for cattle and pedestrians from the Beverley Dairy Farm underneath the actual railway line embankment which passed through the Beverley Dairy Farm. The black and white Beverley Farm House still stands nearby today.
The Arch was initially known as Hanover Arch being close to Hanover Road now known as Roper Road.
The Arch was intact with portals until the early 1970′s when the embankment was re-graded on the western side to allow the parallel footpath to be widened. The embankment towards the West Station was removed when the Hanover Place housing development was built in 1966. The Arch was backfilled with rubble from the portals and remained in that state for many years!
The Crab & Winkle Line Trust had been concerned about the deteriorating state of the Arch which was owned by Canterbury City Council and in 2010 applied to English Heritage to give it consideration for listing.
On the 1st September that 2010, the Arch was given Grade 2 listing.
From that time, The Trust continued to press the City Council to ensure the future of the Arch and as the result of this, a joint partnership with the Council and The Trust was formed and on Monday 16th March 2015, a mechanical digger spent two days digging out earth, landscaping and removing all the rubble from inside and which was found to be in excellent condition as was the tarmac floor throughout. Canterbury City Council has commissioned metal gates for both ends of the Arch, one with an opening door and it's hoped an information panel will be located close by.
