Please take time to read this document carefully. It is the basis of the contract between you (the host) and us (GoGoPlaces). These Terms and Conditions are subject to completion and amendment in accordance with the Listing Particulars and once you have signed the Listing Particulars shall form the contract between you and us (the "Agreement").
In these Terms and Conditions, we have included a summary to help with understanding their meaning in italics. You should, of course, read all of the Terms and Conditions before entering into the Agreement. If there is any conflict between the summary and the relevant Term, the Terms and Conditions shall prevail.
We manage a relationship between you and the guests who use GoGoPlaces. The Accommodation Agreement covers our terms with you for providing this service.
This Agreement is between the host ("you") of one or more properties each as separately described in the Listing Particulars (each a "Property") and us, GoGoPlaces ("we" or "us").
When guests stay at your home you enter into a separate contract with them that covers the terms of their stay.
As your agent we will form binding agreements by way of licence between you and members of the public ("Guests") who agree to lease the Property on a short-term licence-to-occupy basis. You will contract directly with each Guest and you must comply with the terms of that agreement which will be in a standard form (varied in form by us from time to time) ("Accommodation Agreement"). A copy of the current Accommodation Agreement is maintained online at www.gogoplaces.co/accomodation-agreement. You agree that any booking which is made through us will be made on the terms of such Accommodation Agreement which is a binding contract between you and the Guest for a licence to occupy the Property on the agreed dates. You agree that you have the right to offer stays in your home to guests.
You agree that, as the host, you own the Property or are duly authorized to arrange for leasing the same, by way of licence to occupy (as principal and not as agent) and to enter into both this Agreement and agreements with Guests for the leasing of said property.
We'll find guests to stay in your home for long-term stays. You can still use other agents and you don't need to inform us if you ask someone else to market your home.
There are no costs for listing your home on GoGoPlaces. You will only pay a nominal 3% booking fee once the tenant books your place.
In order for us to market the Property you may need to pay our costs associated with listing including, but not limited to, our listing fee, photography costs, direct and third party costs relating to and arising from the initial inspection, any such costs associated with marketing shall be first proposed to you and only performed after the written approval by you or your authorized agent(s).
Before we market your home we'll agree to some rules as well as any specific instructions, which are unique to each property, such as house rules These rules will be part of the agreement with guests.
Prior to marketing we will also consult with you to agree among other things, any particular rules for the Property ("House Rules"), and any initial special instructions (such as which drawers or cupboards will be secured, any specific rooms or locked areas which would not be a part of the rented space, and the condition in which we would expect the Property to be left prior to a rental). The House Rules as well as the special instructions may change from time to time. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that our Guests using the Property obey any House Rules which we have agreed with you, but are not liable for any breach of the House Rules by those parties. You may choose to require a refundable security deposit to be held against any monetary expenses arising from violation of said House Rules. That security deposit shall constitute a separate agreement between you and the guest only. And in no event shall GoGoPlaces assume liability for any disagreement arising from said security deposit agreement.
You're responsible for making sure that your home is tidy and complies with Health & Safety regulations before a stay. We can point you in the direction of resources to help you check.
Before any rental of the Property you will be responsible for ensuring that the Property is tidy and sufficiently clean and complies with all relevant Health & Safety Regulations ("Regulations"). Please see below for more details. We will provide guidance to you as to what those Regulations require and if you then request us to do so we will assist in arranging for third parties to visit the Property and carry out any necessary inspections or remedial work. If, prior to commencement of a booking the Property is not tidy or sufficiently clean then we may also arrange for tidying and additional cleaning in order to bring it to acceptable industry standards, at your expense.
During a stay, if practical, we may provide certain services on your behalf to help Guests with their stay. This may include meeting them at the property and providing them with certain items to enhance their stay.
We will provide you with an online system by which you will set out the dates on which the Property will and will not be available for bookings. We can update the online availability schedule on your behalf at your written request. From time to time we may send you reminders by email to update the availability schedule for the Property but it is your sole responsibility to maintain your online availability and keep it up to date. You will be able to select to make the Property "available" or "blocked" (not available), or with our consent you may indicate that it is "available on request". We will assume (unless you inform us that the Property is "blocked" or "available") that there is "no information" for the Property but we may still contact you regarding bookings in relation to these periods and such enquiries will be subject to your right to decline a booking under clause 4.2 except if we have withdrawn consent for the use of "available on request" status in which case the Property will be marked as "blocked".
You'll have an "Available on request" setting where we'll check with you before accepting a booking. Once we have checked with you, and then subsequently accepted a booking, you will be obliged to fulfil the booking.
"Available on request": unless you have told us that the Property is "blocked" or"available", we will notify you by email, or text once we receive an application for a booking from a proposed Guest. You will then have 24 hours in which to inform us by email, text or via our online service (where possible) only that you do, or do not wish to accept the booking. If you confirm acceptance of the booking then we will be entitled to accept the booking on your behalf and we will confirm the booking with the Guest.
If we accept a booking for a period in which you have confirmed that the Property is available then you will be obliged to proceed. If you seek to terminate a booking then you will be liable to the Guest for the incremental costs of cancellation or alternative accommodation. In particular, part of the contract we negotiate on your behalf with the Guest will provide for appropriate alternative accommodation in the event of cancellation by you. If there is any surplus to pay as a result of your cancellation then this will be your responsibility.
If there are any particular dates you wish to block out and on which you would like us to refuse any booking then you must let us know as soon as possible by amending the availability schedule for the Property online. You will not be entitled to block out any dates once a booking has been made in accordance with this clause.
We will collect the rental amount on your behalf from the Guest. You authorise us to issue invoices to Guests on your behalf.
We will initiate a credit to your account no later than the 24 hours following the arrival of the guest and a satisfactory acceptance of the premises, in the amount of the rental amount minus our commission and any outstanding out-of- pocket costs or disbursements we have incurred.
You'll receive a rental amount as outlined by you at the time of the listing and acceptance of booking. We'll discuss the achievable rental amount for your home and we'll manage your invoicing and payments for you.
All of our fee arrangements are subject to deductions for any amounts you may owe to us in respect of our membership and marketing charges and we will be authorised to deduct from your rental, any set-offs or disbursements such as exceptional cleaning fees, outstanding marketing or other fees which have not been paid and any third party costs or costs of compliance which we have settled on your behalf.
We presume that you are not registered for VAT. If you are registered for VAT you must inform us when marketing the Property. In addition if you become liable to register for VAT during the term of this Agreement then again you must inform us immediately. In any event all licence fees which are paid to you and payable by the Guest are deemed to be inclusive of VAT.
During any period when the Property is marketed, we reserve the right to charge you a Host membership fee (as may be communicated to you in writing from time to time) which we may deduct from any amounts which are or may become due to you.
You agree that you have the right to offer stays in your home to guests.
As a Host of a Property letting to a third party as a business you are under various obligations with respect to health and safety.
As a host of a home letting to a third party as a business, you are under various Health & Safety obligations. Your home will require all safety certificates which are required by the local home and health boards, but not limited to such. In the event there are no such local boards then the higher state rules pertaining to health and safety shall prevail.
the Property is safe and fit for occupation generally.
We are not qualified to provide advice on health and safety or fire risk matters. It is your responsibility to ensure that any requirements (are complied with. Our maintenance policy and services will extend to the utility and aesthetics of the Property but we will not be responsible for resolving health and safety or fire hazards. We accept liability for damage to the Property and contents to the extent that such damage is directly caused by us or a Guest, provided that such damage is recoverable under our insurance policy. We recommend that you check your existing insurance to ensure that it covers your personal liability including your liability to a Guest as this is not covered by our policy. Our insurance will not cover any prosecution or fine imposed if you fail to comply with your obligations under the Regulations. You may be liable for a fine or for more serious penalties if you fail to comply with these obligations.
If you have any concerns about any regulations relating to fire or health and safety then please let us know and we will introduce you to a third party partner organisation qualified to inspect your Property in order to advise about fire risks, health and safety and any remedial work which needs to be undertaken. If we incur related costs we will either charge you for these in advance or (at our sole discretion) deduct such costs from your licence fees.
You also warrant that you own the Property or that you are authorised to arrange renting the Property to Guests. If you are in any doubt you should check the terms of your lease, mortgage deed and/or title deeds to ensure that you are able to provide short term rentals.
Either you or we may end this agreement at any time, and you agree to honor any outstanding confirmed bookings. We will not accept any new bookings for your home after the agreement has been ended.
Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time. If you terminate this Agreement, you agree to honor any outstanding bookings. If there are outstanding bookings at the date of termination then we will not accept any new bookings for the Property but the contract will continue in respect of those existing bookings (subject to clause 8).
If any bookings are outstanding on termination by us under this clause then clause 8 will apply.
In the event of termination the terms of this Agreement will continue in full force, so far as such terms relate to existing bookings or the consequences of any previous booking (including terms relating to fees, commission and expenses, liability and damage).
You In the event you have to cancel a confirmed booking you'll be liable for all costs or losses of cancelling and accommodating the guests elsewhere.
then you will be fully liable to us (under the terms of this Agreement) and to the Guest (under the agreement) for all associated costs, charges, damage and liability which we or the Guest incur, including the cost of supplying the Guest with appropriate alternative accommodation. You agree to indemnify us on a continuing basis in respect of any such cancelled booking. We may, from time to time, adopt policies and guidance in relation to cancellations that will be binding upon you and will notify you of the existence of such policies. In the event a guest cancels, the cancellation terms outlined by your house rules for bookings apply and you'll receive your proportion of any recoverable sum.
In the event that a Guest cancels prior to arrival, in the event of non existence of cancellation terms in your house rules, we will determine the cancellation terms that apply. You will then (provided that the cancellation does not arise from your negligent or wilful act or omission) receive the same proportion of funds we have retained from the Guest as the proportion of total fees you would have received had the booking proceeded as normal. To the extent a new booking is made over the cancelled dates you will not receive more than 100% of your rate for said period.
We limit our liability to you in certain respects. This paragraph details our liability and we recommend you review it in full. If you have any questions, ask us.
We will not be liable to you in the event of a claim by a Guest against you unless this arises due to our negligence.
We accept liability for damage to the Property and damage, loss and theft of the contents of the Property in accordance with clause 11. We will not be liable for any Property loss or damage, or any loss, theft or damage to contents which is caused by a Guest booking and is not recovered under our insurance policy, nor are we liable for the amount of any insurance excess or to the extent that any policy limitations or exclusions apply. We also reserve the right to discontinue insurance covering loss or damage to the Property or contents by notifying you by email (in which event we will no longer be liable for any such losses). We may also, at any time, change the terms of any insurance which covers damage to the Property or contents (including changes to the exclusions, limitations or underwriter of such insurance) in which event we will notify you in writing. Please refer to clause 11. You are entitled to obtain additional cover at your own expense. If we change the terms of any insurance and you have outstanding bookings scheduled you are entitled to obtain your own insurance at your own cost.
Our liability to you for all losses not subject to clause 9.3 above is capped at the level of commission paid by you to us in any period of one year.
Given that you are entitled to obtain additional insurance in respect of damage to the Property and given that we are unable to ascertain in advance the level of any other losses you might suffer, you accept that the limitations on our liability set out above are reasonable.
It's your responsibility to ensure your home is ready and safe for guests.
You will be liable to us and to any Guest who may suffer or incur any loss or damage in respect of any breach by you of the terms of this Agreement or any Accommodation Agreement.
You will be liable to the Guest for the safety of the Property and for ensuring that the Property is both available on the dates which have been booked and is in the condition and the description you provided to be listed on our website.
In the event of an issue, complaint or dispute with a Guest relating to a breach of clauses 10.1 or 10.2, you shall use your best endeavours to resolve such dispute and we shall be entitled to mediate and negotiate on your behalf in relation to the dispute.
We may determine in our absolute discretion (at all times acting reasonably) the settlement or payment by you of remuneration as may be necessary to compensate a Guest for any loss or damage suffered or incurred from a breach of clauses 10.1 and 10.2 and/or in accordance with a mediation or negotiation pursuant to clause 10.3.
If a guest causes damage or loss to your home or contents during their stay (other than wear and tear arising from the ordinary use of the home), we'll accept liability and will recover it from the guest or under our own insurance policy. Please see our Damages Policy for further details on what constitutes damage, wear and tear and a home breakdown.
Please check our website for current details of the amount of cover our insurance policy provides.
If as a result of a Guest booking you suffer damage to the Property or loss, theft or damage to Property contents and that loss or damage is directly caused by a Guest staying at the Property under an agreement we have negotiated and this sum is not recovered from the Guest, then we will accept liability for such loss or damage. We may, from time to time, adopt policies or guidance relating to damages and the liability for damages, which will be binding on you. We will notify you of the existence of such policies or guidance.
If as a result of a wilful or negligent act or omission on our part you suffer damage to the Property or loss, theft or damage to Property contents then we accept liability for such loss or damage (but subject to clauses 9.2 and 9.4 and subject to an individual cap on liability).
In the event of a claim for Property damage or for theft, loss or damage to Property contents, you must inform us as soon as you become aware of a claim.
If required, we can provide a (non-exhaustive) summary of cover, exclusions and limitations under our insurance policy.
Unless we specifically inform you otherwise we will also take a card preauthorization from guests to cover light damage and will rely on our insurance to cover significant damage.
We will generally (but not necessarily in every case) obtain a card pre-authorisation of €1000 from your Guest by way of credit or debit card charge. If damage to the Property or contents is directly caused by a Guest and the liability of the Guest is admitted or clear (and the charge has not subsequently been released), then we will take steps to recover the first €1,000 of any claim for damage from the Guest.
Once you have notified us of a claim, and in the event that the full amount of the claim cannot be recovered from a Guest, we will in turn make a claim under our insurance policy unless we reasonably believe that such claim has no reasonable prospect of success or is commercially not feasible. You will not be entitled to any payment (save at our absolute discretion) until such time as our claim has been determined by our insurers. If we receive payment from our insurers in respect of the claim then we will pass that payment on to you after deducting any amounts which may be owed to us.
Please note that the amount you receive in the event of a claim will be subject to deduction of an excess (which we will not refund) and will be subject to other limitations and exclusions. However where a Guest is at fault for any loss or damage we will seek to recover the first €1,000 of any claim from the Guest on your behalf in accordance with clause 11.5.
Nothing in this clause 11 will amount to any assumption by us of any proprietary interest in the Property or any contents of the Property; we remain at all times your agent and not an owner, licensee or lessor of any property.
This paragraph covers the general terms of our agreement and our service. Amongst other things, you confirm your right to enter this agreement with onefinestay, and acknowledge that we may share your information with third parties or companies within our group.
You agree that you have the power to enter into this Agreement, that you own or are authorised to lease the Property as principal and that the Property is not subject to any third party rights which might affect your ability to lease the Property.
You will not be entitled to withhold by way of set-off, deduction, counterclaim any amounts which you owe to us against any amounts that we may owe to you.
We may use employees or self-employed contractors and we shall have discretion as to which of our employees or subcontractors are assigned to perform any services we provide to you.
This Agreement is personal to you and may not be assigned. If you sell the Property you may not transfer this Agreement to the purchaser except with our express written consent.
We will not be liable to you or be deemed to be in breach of these terms by reason of any delay in performing, or any failure to perform, any of our obligations, if the delay or failure was due to any cause beyond our reasonable control such as acts of god, severe weather, a natural disaster, strikes, governmental action, terrorism, war and civil unrest.
Save in the case of fraud these terms as completed and supplemented by the Listing Particulars and any written correspondence between you and us from time to time in respect of Special Arrangements represent the entire agreement between the parties and supersede any previous marketing information, representations or agreements whether recorded in writing or otherwise.
These conditions are governed by the laws of Estonia. You agree, as we do, to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Estonian courts.
We may revise these Terms and Conditions from time to time, and will always post the most current version on our website. If a revision materially affects your rights, we will notify you (by, for example, sending a message to the email address associated with your account, posting on our blog or on this page). By continuing to use our services after the revisions come into effect, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms and Conditions.
Any notice under this Agreement (with the exception of a notice of termination served by you or a rejection of a booking) may be served by letter, email or, by directly entering information into a specially designed area of our website. A notice of termination may be served by you either by registered mail to our registered office (details available on our website) or by email. A notice of termination which is sent to us by email shall not be effective until it has been acknowledged by us (and any 'out of office' or auto reply shall not amount to an acknowledgement for the purposes of this clause). A rejection of a booking may only be made by text or email to the number and email address specified in the notice of booking.


MacOSRumors echos rumors that iChat will be gaining video and voice functionality next year... along with added codec support provided for Quicktime streams.
They also believe a Apple-branded Chimera-based browser will be released next year. Speculation on such a project was sparked by David Hyatt's employment at Apple in July.
Long-time Apple fans will remember that Apple had marketed their own browser years ago - Cyberdog... which was subsequently discontinued along with their OpenDoc technology.
Spymac first posted rumors that Apple may break free from Microsoft IE as soon as MacWorld SF - but did not specify which browser they would migrate to.

Q: I want to log out the user and send him to another activity I am checking in my first Activity if the user has already logged in so that we can send him to second activity again without making him log in using the Google sign in option. But in the second Activity, when the user signs out, they want to go to the register screen i.e the first Activity. When we reach there the code finds out that there was already a login and sends the user back to the second screen. How do I fix it?
It checks the login in the first Activity like this.
GoogleSignInAccount account = GoogleSignIn.getLastSignedInAccount(this);
if (account != null){
    Toast.makeText(this, "Already logged in!!!!!!!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    goToNextActivity();
}

And logs out from the second Activty like this
fAuth.signOut();

How I go from the first Activty to the second Activity
public void goToNextActivity(){
    Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MainActivity.class);
    startActivity(i);
    finish();
}

How I go from the second Activity to the first Activty
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), registerActivity.class);
startActivity(i);

If we want to stay fit today, we have to work at it. Ayurveda can also contribute to a healthy lifestyle. day, we have to do something for it. Ayurveda is also a good place to go.
The modern world can boast of many achievements. One of them, is that few people in the western world have to do physical labour. This means that the demands of everyday life are no longer sufficient to maintain the performance of the body and mind. We now need to be active outside of work.
If you really want to stay fit, you should get at least 30 minutes of exercise every day. The emphasis is on "moving", ie moderate physical activity. This includes a walk or gardening.
For optimal health benefits, you should include 3 endurance training sessions and 2 strench training workouts to your schedule, training 20-60 minutes each time. The balance between strength, endurance, mobility, coordination and speed should not be neglected.
Vata: Grounding programs such as gentle yoga or tai chi are recommended. These activities anchor us and serve as a foundation for our lives. From there you can build up.
For this purpose a warming diet, regular meals and meditation are recommended.
Pitta: Endurance or competition sports are optimal for people with this energy type, because they have a lot of ambition and are determined. Martial arts are also worth considering. Be careful though, do not over train!
Getting out into the fresh air or going swimming are good types of exercise because they provide for additional cooling for heated Pitta types.
Kapha: For this type, it is essential to experience movement sensually and to combine it with pleasure. Try dance, group glasses or moderate strength training. If you want to burn fat, strength training is also recommended.
Vata Disorder: This disorder often occurs when we feel stressed or overwhelmed. Caution should be exercised in such a condition. An excess of movement worsens the situation. It is better to choose gentle movements such as Hatha Yoga or Tai Chi and supplement these with ayurvedic oil massages.
Pitta Disorder: This disorder is noticeable through exaggerated ambition. Often people who suffer from this disorder forget that performance pressure is not equal to health. A carefully balanced sports program is recommended. Clear, concrete instructions with fixed goals help you keep from overdoing it.
Kapha Disorder: Here movement is very important to keep your own weight stable and maintain your physical fitness. A Kapha disorder is best attacked from two sides: with diet and training.
The diet should be as filling as possible with hearty meals. Your training should be as dynamic as possible to keep your circulation on track. Beware of overdoing it!
The most important prerequisite for exercise is making sure that you enjoy them. Ask yourself the following questions: what kind of sports do I enjoy? What motivates me? Do I prefer to train alone or in a group? Do I like competition? What needs do I need to fill?
It is very important to keep up a regular routine. Keeping to a schedule helps you stay on track, even if you just do a few minutes of exercise a day.

Q: EventStore with NServiceBus causes deadlocks when more than 1 thread is used I'm currently working on a project that uses EventStore, CommonDomain, and NServiceBus, when I have NumberOfWorkerThreads set to 1, all of our services(nservicebus - we have 6 of them, each has thier own event store) runs perfectly, but when i set NumberOfWorkerThreads to more than one, I start seeing a ton of deadlocks, i mean like at least 50 per minute.  All of the deadlocks are on the Commits table.  From what i've found is that, it looks like I'm updating the same aggregate in multiple threads, which could easily happen during and import of a catalog per say, and I update quantity in one thread, while updating the price in another thread, so both threads are trying to update the same aggregate.
Has anyone else had this issue, and how have you gotten around it?

US strikes ISIS in Libya for the second time in a week

WASHINGTON — U.S. forces carried out two precision airstrikes against ISIS fighters on Tuesday killing several fighters, according to a press release from U.S. Africa Command.
The strikes hit roughly 100 miles outside of Sirte.
It is the second series of strikes carried out by U.S. forces in less than a week, and the first series of major military action against the terror group since U.S. B-2 bombers struck a large ISIS camp outside of Sirte in January.
On Friday, unmanned U.S. aircraft conducted six airstrikes against ISIS fighters camped out in the desert 150 miles outside of Sirte.
Those strikes killed 17 fighters and several tactical vehicles.
US drone strikes ISIS in Libya
U.S. forces on Friday conducted six airstrikes against an ISIS desert camp 150 miles outside the Libyan city of Sirte, according to U.S. Africa Command.
"Since late 2014, Libya's under-governed space and internal instability provided ISIS a safe haven to organize, train and equip fighters," said Navy Lt. Commander Anthony Falvo, a spokesman for AFRICOM.
Libya has been gripped by internal strife since the fall of Moammar Gadhafi in 2011.
Internal fighting between the UN-backed government led by Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj and forces loyal to Gen. Khalifa Haftar has added to recent instability in the war-torn country.
ISIS has used the chaos to its advantage, even occupying and controlling the large city of Sirte for a period of time.
"Before Sirte's fall in 2016, ISIS was the largest province outside of the group's so-called caliphate in Iraq and Syria, and ISIS propaganda encouraged individuals to travel to Libya," Falvo told Military Times.
Under the aid of U.S. airpower, forces loyal to the UN-backed government purged ISIS fighters from the Libyan city in a U.S.-backed operation coined Operation Odyssey Lighting.
"Losing Sirte was a significant setback for ISIS, and the group could no longer claim to be holding territory," Falvo said.
However, despite losing the city, "ISIS retains the capability to strike local security forces, critical infrastructure, and civilian targets," Falvo added.
"It's a great example how removing ISIS from cities doesn't inherently remove the threat of external operations," said Jennifer Cafarella, an expert on the war in Syria for the Institute for the Study of War.
ISIS' Libya operations were recently featured in a propaganda video released by the group in September showing how its fighters live and work in the desert.

"ISIS's ability to destabilize Libya's internal security remains an ongoing threat to local forces and Western regional targets," Falvo said.
The airstrikes were carried out in coordination Libyan Government of National Accord.

Kane's goal and 2 assists help Blackhawks rout Red Wings 5-2
Chicago Blackhawks' Artemi Panarin (72), of Russia, celebrates with teammates Duncan Keith (2), Patrick Kane, second from right, and and Jonathan Toews, right, after scoring on Detroit Red Wings goalie Petr Mrazek (34) during the second period of an NHL ... more >
By LARRY LAGE - Associated Press - Wednesday, March 2, 2016
DETROIT (AP) - Patrick Kane is having his best season statistically in part because he's never been better on the power play.
Kane had a goal and an assist 1:24 apart on power plays in the second period, helping the Chicago Blackhawks rout the Detroit Red Wings 5-2 on Wednesday night.
He set up Artemi Panarin for a goal in the third period for the second time in the game. That extended his NHL-leading point total to 88 - his jersey number - and matched his career high set during the 2009-10 season.
"It's good, it's nice," Kane said. "Having fun playing hockey, that's for sure."
Kane has 15 goals on power plays and a league-leading 32 points with a man advantage, setting career highs in each category with nearly 20 games remaining in the regular season.
Jonathan Toews has been Kane's teammate for each of their nine seasons in the league and said consistency is what has allowed him to take his production to another level.
"Everyone has moments when they're not playing with absolute control and firing on all cylinders, but he still finds ways to contribute offensively," Toews said. "I think that's the biggest sign of a star player when you can do it on your off night, too. That shows how much focus and skill he really has this year."
Andrew Ladd restored the three-goal lead in the third period in his second game back with the Blackhawks. Panarin scored his second goal 35 seconds later from the top of the left circle off a cross-ice pass from Kane.
Corey Crawford didn't give up a goal until midway through the third period when Brad Richards scored and Gustav Nyquist had a relatively meaningless goal late in the game.
Petr Mrazek stopped 28 shots for the Red Wings, who had won three straight.
The Western Conference-leading Blackhawks were coming off a win against NHL-leading Washington.
And, they looked sharp from the start at Detroit and didn't let up.
Brent Seabrook scored from the top of the right circle, trailing on a play that started with an odd-man rush. Erik Gustafsson tapped his stick on the ice to get the puck passed back from Teuvo Teravainen and Gustafsson set up Seabrook, a fellow defenseman, for the game's first goal.
"It went through my glove," Mrazek said. "That is probably the one that I would want back."
Kane made an across-the-crease pass to assist to Panarin from the bottom of the right circle to the bottom of the left while Toews provided a distraction in front of the net.
"He pretty much creates the whole play," Kane said of Toews. "Gets position on that guy, blocks him out without taking an interference penalty and being able to create a seam there for me to pass it across."
Kane, a four-time All-Star, got into open space a little more than a minute later and flicked a wrist shot from the inside of the left circle that Mrazek simply couldn't stop.
"He's one of the best players in the world, has been for a long time," Detroit coach Jeff Blashill said. "We've just got to do a better job of being tight to him. We've got to do a better job of not giving him as much space. It's not an easy thing to do. He's great at creating space, but you have to limit his opportunities."
NOTES: The Blackhawks had nine players and Detroit had seven named to World Cup of Hockey rosters Wednesday. … Christian Ehrhoff played in his first game for Chicago since it acquired the defenseman last week from the Los Angeles Kings for Rob Scuderi. … Mrazek played after sitting out the previous game, an overtime win at Dallas, with a groin injury. … Panarin leads NHL rookies with 24 goals and Detroit's Dylan Larkin is second with 19. … Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg became the 11th player in franchise history to play in 900 games.


16 October - 6 February 2011. In what is being billed as the first display of its kind in Germany since the end of world war two 65 years ago, the German history museum examines the phenomenon of Hitler and how both he and his campaign managed to win over large sections of German society.
The highly controversial exhibition displays the type of mundane nazi artefacts associated with German citizens' day-to-day lives from that era, adding an eerie air of normality to the regime.
Uncomfortable questions are put forth in relation to the country's collective guilt, such as how Hitler's rise to power was possible, and how his dictatorship, conduct and views became so widely-supported in Germany.

Android Q provides a number of new features related to sharing.
The ShareSheet has changed in Android Q. The Direct Share APIs have been replaced with the new Sharing Shortcuts API. The existing Direct Share mechanism will continue to work, but have a lower priority than any apps that use the new API.
Instead of retrieving results reactively on demand, the Sharing Shortcuts API lets apps publish direct share targets in advance. This is how the ShortcutManager works. Since the two APIs are similar, we have expanded the ShortcutInfo API to make using both features easier. With the new API, you can directly assign categories or people to a share target. The share targets persist in the system until the same app updates them or the app is uninstalled.
Declare share-target elements in an app's XML resource file. For details, see Declare a share target below.
Publish dynamic shortcuts with matching categories to the declared share-targets. Shortcuts can be added, accessed, updated, and removed using the ShortcutManager or ShortcutManagerCompat in AndroidX. Using the compatibility library in AndroidX is the preferred method since it provides backwards compatibility on older Android versions.
This is not a new method, but now categories are also used to filter shortcuts that can handle share intents or actions. See Declare a share target below for details. This field is required for shortcuts that are meant to be used as share targets.
Specifies whether or not a shortcut is valid when it has been unpublished or made invisible by the app (as a dynamic or pinned shortcut). If a shortcut is long lived, it can be cached by various system services even after if has been unpublished as a dynamic shortcut.
Associates one or more Person objects with the shortcut. This can be used to better understand user behavior across different apps, and to help potential prediction services in the framework provide better suggestions in a ShareSheet. Adding Person info to a shortcut is optional, but strongly recommended if the share target can be associated with a person. Note that som share targets, such as cloud, cannot be associated with a person.
For a typical messaging app, a separate share target (shortcut) should be published for each contact, and the Person field should contain the contact's info. If the target can be associated with multiple people (like a group chat), add multiple Persons to a single share target.
The data element in a share target is similar to the data specification in an intent filter. Each share target can have multiple categories, which are only used to match an app's published shortcuts with its share target definitions. Categories can have any arbitrary app-defined values.
If the user opens the share target from the launcher shortcuts, the app will get the intent that was created when adding the sharing shortcut to the ShortcutManagerCompat. Since it's a different intent, Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ID won't be available, and you will have to pass the ID manually if you need it.
ShortcutManagerCompat is a new AndroidX API that provides backwards compatibility with the old DirectShare API. This is the preferred way to publish share targets.
To be able to work with the compatibility library, the app's manifest must contain the meta-data chooser-target-service and intent-filters set. See the current Direct Share API.
This service is already declared in the compatibility library, so the user does not need to declare the service in the app's manifest. However, the link from the share activity to the service must be taken into account as a chooser target provider.
provides backwards compatibility with the old DirectShare API.
When an app shares content, it can show an optional preview of the content in the Sharesheet UI.
The preview can have a title, an image, or both.
The image content URI should be provided from a FileProvider, usually from a configured <cache-path>. See Sharing files.
A complete example can be seen in the sample app.
What are the main differences between the new API and the old DirectShare API?
The new API uses a push model, versus the pull model used in the old DirectShare API. This makes the process of retrieving direct share targets much faster when preparing the ShareSheet. From the app developer's point of view, when using the new API, the app needs to provide the list of direct share targets ahead of time, and potentially update the list of shortcuts every time the internal state of the app changes (for example, if a new contact is added in a messaging app).
What happens if I don't migrate to use the new APIs?
On Android Q and higher, ShareSheet will put higher priority on share targets which are provided via ShortcutManager (the new API). So your published share targets may get buried under other apps' share targets and potentially never appear when sharing.
Can I use both old and new DirectShare APIs in my app for backwards compatibility?
Don't do it! Instead, use the provided support library APIs (ShortcutManagerCompat). Mixing the two sets of APIs may result in unwanted/unexpected behavior when retrieving the share targets.
How are published shortcuts for share targets different from launcher shortcuts (the typical usage of shortcuts when long pressing on app icons in launcher)?
Any shortcuts published for a "share target" purpose, is also a launcher shortcut, and will be shown in the menu when long pressing your app's icon. The maximum shortcut count limit per activity also applies to the total number of shortcuts an app is publishing (share targets and legacy launcher shortcuts combined).

A multi-vitamin/mineral is an essential base for most people especially in New Zealand where we have low mineral content in our soil. It's very unlikely that you are receiving everything you need from your food unless you are living on organically grown fruits and vegetables and a wide range of other food groups daily to give you your baseline vitamins and minerals that you need for optimal cellular function.
Your body however would prefer to receive it's nutrients through food – it comes perfectly packaged with co-factors making it easy to absorb and utilise by the body and it is in a dose our bodies can easily handle. In whole foods, vitamins and minerals are a part of a complex grouping of naturally occurring compounds which include enzymes, coenzymes, cofactors and phytonutrients, along with proteins, fats and carbohydrates. The greater the density of vitamins or minerals in such a matrix, leads to greater nutritional value resulting in more benefit for the body.
Enzymes are unique energized proteins that speed up biochemical reactions in the body. If we didn't have enzymes, these reactions would occur too slowly for us to survive! Our body makes two main types of enzymes: metabolic enzymes and digestive enzymes. Digestive enzymes are secreted throughout the digestive tract to help us break down and absorb the nutrients from our food, while metabolic enzymes look after our other body functions.
Our body's production of enzymes reduces at around 25 years of age and due to our modern lifestyles and often lifeless diets there are many enzyme depleted people walking around suffering from chronic health conditions and in particular if digestive enzymes are depleted they may be suffering from things like indigestion, heart burn and reflux, bloating, excessive wind and tummy aches. Statistics show that over 30% of New Zealanders suffer from some form of poor digestion.
Probiotics are live microorganisms (known as 'good' or 'friendly' bacteria) that reside within the intestinal tract. The correct balance of healthy bowel flora is essential for sustained health and wellness. Probiotics assist gastrointestinal wellbeing as well as aid the immune system. Modern lifestyles, stress, poor diets and medications especially antibiotics can all attribute to an imbalance in in bowel flora.
Enzymedica is dedicated to providing exceptional enzyme-focused supplements at the most therapeutic levels available in the natural foods industry and beyond. It is their commitment to provide unprecedented education and research that propels individuals on the path to vibrant health. Shop for Enzymedica products at HealthPost now.

An IAD1280 user fails to disable the CFU service by dialing 0#57# on the IMS network.
Step 1 If the prefixes on the SoftCo do not conflict with each other, configure number changing rules on the SoftCo. After the number changing rule is enabled, the called number is changed to #57#. The SoftCo sends #57# to the IMS.
If a number contains special cases but does not start with * and #, the IAD1280 deletes the special cases and keep the digits. For example, if a uses dials 0#57#, the IAD1280 deletes # and sends 057 to the SoftCo.


They performed the traditional Indigenous Maori dance to mourn the victims and honour the dead, then laid flowers and held a moment of silence.
For many, joining the vigil for the victims of the mass shooting was a much-needed opportunity to soothe their minds after a wrenching few days. Most of the students spent hours locked down in their schools on Friday as police tried to determine if any other shooters were involved in the attacks.
Several others in New Zealand have also performed the dance in honour of the victims in recent days.
Students hold lit candles as they gather in a vigil to commemorate victims of Friday's shooting, outside Masjid Al Noor mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, March 18, 2019.
At least 50 people have died after two mosque attacks were carried out by a gunman on Friday.
The attack has left those in the Christchurch community, as well as others around the world, holding vigils and memorials for the victims.
In Canada, memorials were held across the country over the weekend.
Many of the victims of the shooting had moved to New Zealand to seek better lives in a country known for its beauty, friendliness and safety.
Among the victims are engineers, business owners, students and a goalkeeper for the national futsal team. It is a modified form of soccer, typically played indoors.


In "Secular Stagnation, Progress in Economics", JW Mason looks at the points raised by Summers in detail. He views this as a positive step in the dialogue within mainstream economics.
In "Larry Summers, Secular Stagnation, and the Crisis of the New Consensus Model", Mario Seccareccia is less charitable. He argues that most of Larry Summer's speech is a re-hash of controversies within economics that were largely dealt with just after the end of World War II. He feels that the "New Consensus" economic models (DSGE models) have locked mainstream economists into a misleading interest rate-centric world view.
From the point of view of the bond markets, this is an important subject. The possibility that economic stagnation will keep the policy rate at zero well past 2015 has important implications for the pricing of Treasury bonds.
I just want to comment here on one smaller point of Larry Summers' speech - the necessity of bubbles for the economy to grow. In the 1950's, Hyman Minsky argued that financial instability was a side-effect of growth in capitalist economies. It was only special circumstances in the early postwar era that allowed growth then to occur without financial instability. (I discussed this very recently in another context in this post.) As such, there should be no surprise that more recent economic expansions have coincided with bubbles.


Wouldn't it be great to base your meal decisions on ingredients you enjoy, rather than ones you'd rather avoid? At Chef's Table, guests do precisely that, with a degustation menu that changes daily and is made up solely of ingredients. Cross out any ingredients you're allergic to (or just don't like) and your reward will be a one-of-a-kind, expertly prepared dish. There's no repetition at Chef's Table.
Chef's Table is the signature venture of Stephan Zoisl, more commonly referred to as Chef Stephan. Hailing from Austria, Stephan has learned the tips and tricks of the trade when manning the pans at Michelin-starred restaurants across Europe, such as Vienna's The Steirereck and Vila Joya in Portugal.
Every dining experience at Chef's Table is intimate and unique. Three degustation or omakase menus are offered, with a choice of four, six or eight courses. Each menu is based on 28 central ingredients that change daily. As such, there are no signature dishes, no repeats and no comparisons, just surprise after surprise. Ingredients such as lamb, pear, beetroot, Romanesco, popcorn, king prawns, tête de veau, girolle mushroom and globe artichoke are baked, boiled, fried, sautéed, roasted, chopped and garnished over your preferred number of courses.
premium cuts from Austria, France, Italy, Japan, Australia and the United States are frequent. Each dish is accompanied with microgreens and vegetables grown right there in the dining room. The set-up of the restaurant means there's minimal waste, as the kitchen is supplied on a daily basis.
Chef's Table is an apt name for this venue, as not only does Chef Stephan or his fellow Head Chef, Lorenz Raich, whip up every meal, but they also talk you through each dish as they prepare, make and serve it. The space is designed to feel like home, with high chairs that put you on the same level as the chefs to make for easy conversation. The result is a relaxed, friendly vibe paired with good company and exquisite food.
With every good dish comes a good glass of wine, and at Chef's Table, your go-to for all things vino is the restaurant manager and sommelier, Alexandra Brito.

Looks Like the Cop Killer is Now a Crispy Critter.
Human remains have been found in the burned-out cabin where a fugitive ex-cop was believed to be hiding and investigators will attempt to identify them through forensic tests, a sheriff's spokeswoman said in a statement to Fox News.
San Bernardino County sheriff's spokeswoman Jodi Miller says the remains were found late Tuesday after a shootout. Authorities believe Christopher Dorner barricaded himself inside the cabin and a fire later ensued.
Investigators will attempt to determine if the remains are Dorner's through forensic tests.
Dorner, who vowed not to be taken alive, had been surrounded inside the cabin since early Tuesday afternoon. It was not clear who set the fire in the Big Bear community where Dorner apparently has been hiding since sometime last week.
The saga has gripped the country, and has the nation's third-largest police department on tenterhooks for a week. Dorner, a former Navy man and highly trained marksman, had vowed revenge on the department he believed had wronged him – designating specific targets for death.

We are living in a generation of Christians raised on the "blessings," mentality. Preach a few weeks in a row, or even once, a Holy Spirit filled message about how every saint is called to suffer persecution, how God has never promised them riches, and how His blessings often come wrapped up in trials and see if you are invited back. Christendom of our day craves acceptance by the world because they want to be liked and not persecuted. It is for this reason the world has flooded into the church and the pillars of truth are crumbling under their feet. If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do? Almost every mega church in the country either teaches prosperity, health and wealth or word of faith, or are compromised with the world or a mixture of all of the above. It is a watered down Christianity that is being preached for the most part and it is anemic converts that are coming forth.

Sadly, true. I think that another part of the problem is that there was no sense of the Holy Spirit in the church and so they turned to how the world attracts people and Incorporated that as a way to fill the pews. A friend of mine said that they recently tried going back to church and the worship service was like a rock concert, strobe lights and all! God is not going to share his presence with these types of things, that's for sure.
Truth. I couldn't agree more brother.
Amen and Amen brother Frank. Preach it brother! You are telling it like it is.

Q: Create multiple density plots in the loop I want to create 12 density plots, each one with multiple years to compare the distribution of a variable per years. The value 12 corresponds to months. For example, plot #1 would be for January and it would contain density functions for years 2017 and 2018.
This is my code snippet, but I cannot make it working. In particular, I don't know how to iterate over months in such a way that each density plot contains density functions both for 2017 and 2018.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns

years = [2017,2018]
months = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]

axs = plt.figure(figsize=(10, 8), constrained_layout=True).subplots(4, 3)

for ax, month in zip(axs, months):
    ax.set_title("Month={}".format(month))
    subset = df[(df["Month"] == month)]
    sns.distplot(subset["Variable"], hist = False, kde = True, kde_kws = {"linewidth": 3}, label = year)

This is a sample of df (for simplicity I show only 2 months with 5 rows per year):
Year    Month    Variable
2017    1        30
2017    1        28
2017    1        28
2017    1        28
2017    1        29
2018    1        15
2018    1        16
2018    1        14
2018    1        16
2018    1        14
2017    2        32
2017    2        29
2017    2        29
2017    2        30
2017    2        29
2018    2        10
2018    2        11
2018    2        11
2018    2        11
2018    2        12

UPDATE:
I tried to use kdeplot of seaborn:
fig, axes = plt.subplots(figsize=(20,10), ncols=3, nrows=4)
sns.kdeplot(data=df, x="Year", y="Variable", col="Month", ax=axes[3,2])

However, the result looks wrong:

I also tried using displot with hist and kde kinds, but each time I get circles instead of density functions:

Intended Parents
Sperm Donation in Canada: An Overview
Apr 7, 2013 | Donors, Fertility Law
As it stands today, there are three types of sperm donations in Canada:
Anonymous;
Identity disclosed; and
These three types of sperm donations present their own benefits and drawbacks to the donor, the intended parents, and the resulting children.
Although health and physical information is divulged, With anonymous donation the identity of the sperm donor is kept strictly confidential from the recipients and resulting children.
ID Disclosed (Open ID) Donation
ID disclosed donation leaves the door opened to children resulting from the donation to contact the biological father. While donors are not expected to have social contact with registered children until they are 18, the donors are, at a minimum, obligated to provide an update of their family medical history. Any other information or contact is strictly optional and at the donor's discretion.
For anonymous or ID disclosed donations, Health Canada regulations prohibits the following men from participating in semen donation:
Men over the age of 40; and
Any man who has had sex with another man, even once, since 1977.
Known sperm donors can bypass both of these exclusions.
3. Known Donation
A known donor can be a friend or family member of the intended parent(s). It is the only viable option for gay men wanting to assist other intended parents who wish to build a family as they can circumvent the Health Canada restrictions on anonymous or ID disclosed donations.
Because a known donor can be a relative of one of the intended parents, it allows parents-to-be in need of third party gametes to have a genetically-related child. Of course, known sperm donation also raises many difficult moral and ethical questions. For instance, should a father donate sperm to his son? Known donation also allows the parent(s) to select a donor of a certain ethnicity or cultural background that may be unavailable through anonymous or ID disclosed donor selection.
The application process for sperm donation is the same for all donors. The sperm donor application takes about 6-8 months. On average, the sperm donor produces 10-15 vials of semen. The process is as follows:
The donor is screened for infectious disease, undergoes a general physical examination and provides a full medical history.
The sperm quality is assessed to ensure it can be used during fertilization.
The sperm is frozen for 6-months as required by Health Canada regulations, after which the sperm donor provides further blood samples for a final disease check. (Sperm is only quarantined if the donor is not in a sexual relationship with the recipient).
The semen is stored for general (anonymous donor or ID disclosed donor) or private (known donor) use and shipped to the recipient parent's clinic.
The Price of Sperm
A vial of sperm costs on average between $400 and $800. The cost of known donations is about 50% less than anonymous, or ID disclosed donations. Sperm vials do not have to be purchased, and sperm can be used in any subsequent pregnancy attempts without having to repeat the entire selection process and pay for associated costs.
In addition to the cost of sperm, recipients should plan to pay about $300 per intrauterine insemination (IUI). In IUI, washed and filtered sperm are injected into the uterus when a woman is ovulating. The procedure can be performed by a family doctor.
Sperm Donor Identity
Should the identity of sperm donors be made available upon request? This crucial and complex question is still being widely debated in Canada, most recently in British Columbia, where a young woman conceived using donor sperm is seeking to have the identity of her donor father revealed, contrary to the position of the B.C. government. The Supreme Court of Canada will decide this case and the fall-out of the decision will be wide-reaching. Read more about this case.
Like any issue worth debating, there are two sides to the argument. Some take the position that the majority of donors who participate in the program rely on the anonymity, and that mandating identity disclosure will discourage potential donors, thereby depleting Canada's already woefully low supply of local sperm. Others argue on behalf of the child, stating that children of assisted reproduction have a right to know their biological parents or background, as do adopted children. Others who take a more middle ground argue that the private agreements between donor and recipient should define identity revelation and parental involvement in the child's life.
Legal Differences and Legislative Trends
There are significant legal differences between anonymous, ID disclosed and known sperm donation in terms of parental rights. Further, these rights vary from province to province depending on the legislative scheme. For instance, the legal parentage provisions in British Columbia's new Family Law Act, which became law in November 2011, deal specifically with parentage in situations of assisted conception (defined as "a method of conceiving a child other than by sexual intercourse") and state in section 24 that a sperm donor is not, by reason only of his donation, a legal parent. In addition, section 27(3) states that, in addition to the child's birth mother, a person who was married to, or in a marriage-like relationship with, the child's birth mother when the child was conceived is also the child's parent provided that the person consented to being the child's parent.
British Columbia's legislation follows an important national and international trend towards affirming that in the context of assisted reproduction, the genetic link between donor and the child does not constitute a claim to parenthood. Alberta (section 7(4) of the Family Law Act) and Quebec (article 538.2 of the Civil Code) also have legislation clearly stating that a sperm donor is not a legal parent and that the child's second parent in cases of assisted reproduction is the mother's partner.
Ontario's Family Law Act has not undergone the necessary reform. However, the parental rights of a known sperm donor will be tested in the Ontario courts in the summer of 2013.

MAZE makes miraculous comeback
Yesterday we talked about successful came back of Michael MAZE; today after he beat best ranked European player and world's no. 6 Dimitrij OVTCHAROV, it becomes amazing cameback and now Dane is only night away from miraculous recovery and title at the DHS
Yesterday we talked about successful came back of Michael MAZE; today after he beat best ranked European player and world's no. 6 Dimitrij OVTCHAROV, it becomes amazing cameback and now Dane is only night away from miraculous recovery and title at the DHS 2014 Europe Cup. In tomorrow's final he will meet Marcos FREITAS of Portugal.
In his semi final duel MAZE left no space to OVTCHAROV to try to settle into his rhythm. MAZE changed the pace, moved German player from one side to another and produced fantastic finishes in long rallies. "I did not believe I could get that far. Especially I did not believe I could beat OVTCHAROV. That victory came to early for me. I felt good today I felt the ball well…"
In their previous duel, at the quarterfinal of the Olympic Games, MAZE suffered by the hands of OVTCHAROV. Now he looked like completely different player. "At that time I could not move properly. I lived on painkillers, and I woke every morning with pain. A lot of things happened from that time. Unfortunately I had a lot of free time to study the game of best players. I improved my service game…There are few benefits from the break, but I think that my service down to line is something that made me better player now."
Adrien MATTENET faced one Portugal's player too many yesterday. He beat Tiago APOLONIA in quarters, but Marcos FREITAS set a path for first ever title for Portugal at tournaments that gathers best 12 players from Old Continent. FREITAS succeeded in straight games.
"I knew very well Adrien MATTENET. We played and practiced together. However it has been a year since we worked together so I was little bit anxious before the game. I wondered what he had changed in his tactics. He opened the match well, put some pressure on me, made a risk and gives me hard time. I stood his challenge and after 2:0 I was in the driving seat. It is different situation when you have such advantage on your account. I was focused," explained FREITAS.
FREITAS is the only unbeaten player at the tournament so far. "I hope it will stay that way."
His performance looked even more impressive then at the opening day. " You can not compare today's matches to yesterday's duels. Best of 5 and best of 7 games are totally different, not to mention different profile of the players. Yesterday, I was aware that my opportunity to get second chance is narrowed. Unlike today's matches, when you have space to correct mistakes."
The twist of fate made us watch the duel between top favorites much earlier then the seeding predicted. All' German clash between top seeded Dimitrij OVTCHAROV and second seed Timo BOLL, finished in favor of younger player, but for sure this quarterfinal match worthy deserved the title "final before the final". The clash went full distance; at 3:2 BOLL saved one match point; at 3:3 four further…in fantastic exchanges of rallies. "I could finish the match in fifth game. At 8:8 I was active in game, but I missed two balls that normally I should not. Then I faced same situation in sixth game, on match ball…I managed to convert the fourth match ball in decisive game, but only by playing point for point, not thinking about the result."
Fresh in role of father, Timo BOLL was calm after the defeat. "After my injury and illness, I have to be patient with my come back. It takes time. Still there are small things that I have to tune up; like service game today against OVTCHAROV. That was the fine line that made a difference today."
Adrien MATTENET beat Tiago APOLONIA. "Against Tiago APOLONIA I faced difficulties at the beginning of the match, but I managed to improve my service game. I served the ball close to the net and that created difficulties for Tiago. In addition it gave me further confidence to be more creative with my backhand."
Marcos FREITAS beat Alexey SMIRNOV of Russia yesterday and beat MAZE in five games. "I did not know what to expect against MAZE. I played against him seven years ago and I had no idea how he will play after the break. I won two opening sets easily, then he played much better and in fifth game I mange to won in something what was very open game."
Against SHIBAEV, FREITAS showed no weak points. "I played long time ago against SHIBAEV. I knew he have very difficult service play for lefthanders, but I was confident with my game."
The duel between MAZE and Panagiotis GIONIS also attracted great attention. However injured Greek player failed to produce the kind of game that brought him to the medal rostrum at the European Championships. "I played three sets really good, but then Panagiotis raised his game. I had to get back because in case of longer match, I will be too tired to beat him," addmited MAZE.
GIONIS was in bad shape after the duel: "My injury took its toll. We were discussing should I play here at all, but eventually I decided to come, since it will be my premiere at DHS Europe Cup. I won top place in the group yesterday, but today it was hard to overcame MAZE. He played very vise, changed his rhythm from strong to soft balls and send me out of game. With my injury I was powerless."

Computer Scientist (back when evolutionary computation was the next big thing and you still had to drive your own car), Interaction Designer (all hail fellow Ivreans), part-time Venture Capitalist, crypto-enthusiast (here's my crypto Twitter list), and currently Managing Director at IDEO Tokyo. I had been struggling with the question "what did you design lately" until this perfect tweet.
Grew up in Italy, spent about 10 years in the SF Bay Area and relocated to Tokyo in 2013. It's a beautiful, inspiring place and people can actually pronounce my name over here.
My hardware setup is pretty straightforward: 2 Laptops, 1 iPhone, 1 iPad, 1 Kindle.
I keep my two nearly identical 13" MacBook Pro (one old, one new) synced between home and work through Dropbox and Chrome: 100% of the content I need to access is cloud-synced. My laptops are always plugged into a 27" display (one Apple at home, one LG at work) and I believe in single-screen productivity, as long as your screen is big enough and you use a window manager app.
There's a lot of commuting, walking, cycling, socializing and drinking in Tokyo and I would hate to drop or lose my machine. So when I'm out and about I no longer carry anything beside my phone, and it's really refreshing to get home and pick up things from where you left them with zero effort.
Then there's my iPhone (which I'd probably trade for a Pixel if my Japanese carrier allowed), an iPad at home which is non-stop playing videos or podcasts and a reliable Kindle Paperwhite loaded with more books I could possibly read in my entire lifetime.
I've been a carry-on, single-bag traveller for many years and the SDR D3 is my bag of choice.
I'm constantly tweaking and improving my work and life-flow.
Caffeine keeps my machine awake and Breaktime puts it to sleep (I typically work in 16-minute on / 4-minute off cycles for increased focus and productivity). Work is Slack, Google Apps, Dropbox. Fantastical is my calendar of choice and Things is for todos. 1Password keeps me sane (do yourself a favor and get on it). Overcast (podcast player) and Blinkist (book summaries) keep me smart. Spotify (music) keeps me flowing.
I believe in a transhumanistic and singularitarian future and I'm a compulsive note-taker: I have tens of thousands of unorganized notes collected in Simplenote and use Evernote for business cards and web clippings. I could talk about Google Photos for days: it is as much of a photo app as a note app to me. After a dozen iterations, I now use color-coded post-it notes for all my handwritten notes, photograph and keep them in Google Photos for easy and instant access. You'd be surprised how convenient that is.
Stoicism is my life's OS.
Beside longer battery life and wireless charging for everything, not much else I'd want right now.
A global telco carrier with a lifetime, flat-fee subscription.
A biometrics-powered passport allowing me VISA-less access to all countries in the world.
A fair, universal tax-scheme proportional to the number of days I spend in each country every year.
And of course a single, government-independent and censorship-resistant global digital currency.
It's 2019, people, let's get to work.

Q: OpenGL DSA equivalent for glReadPixels I'm trying to retrieve a Pixel-value from a Renderbuffer attached to an unbound Framebuffer.
Since I'm trying to avoid changing global state when reading said value I'm unable to use glReadPixels([...]) which would normally be used to read Pixels from the currently bound Framebuffer.
DirectStateAccess methods usually solve this problem but I'm unable to locate a method that allows for directly specifying the source of the read operation.
Is it possible to read the pixel in a different way, without having to bind the associated Framebuffer? Why did this method not get included in the DSA extension?

A: If the framebuffer attachment is a Texture  and not a Rrenderbuffer, you can read the pixel data from the texture object instead of the framebuffer with  glGetTextureImage.
