Multi-tasking. I do it all the time and typically I reap the benefits of it. But, lately and sadly, my multi-tasking has been getting me into trouble. We are not talking about the men in blue coming to get me kind of trouble or being corrected by my parents even though I am over the age of thirty kind of trouble, but the kind of messing it up, dropping of the ball, under-prepared, yet overwhelmed kind of trouble.
Multi-tasking is a must in the world we live in today. So many people want and expect so much from us, at the same time, that we have no choice, but to MULTI-TASK OR FAIL.
Right? Aren't those the only two options? Most of he time it sure feels like that, doesn't it?
As a parent, multi-tasking is imperative and is a regular, expected part of your daily day. Maybe you are multi-tasking because you have "too many" kids — yes, although highly inappropriate to tell anyone they have too many kids, some would say that having three, like myself, would qualify. Or, maybe you are multi-tasking because you have a challenging and time-consuming job in addition to your role as a parent. Or, it could be that you are multi-tasking merely because everyone else around you is and so you feel you should be too. Regardless your reason for multiple-tasking, you are doing it — and more often than not, you are doing it, day in and day out.
Not all multi-tasking is bad. In fact, I would even contend that there is so much good that comes out of it. There are pros and cons to it, just like anything else and most of them are pretty common sense. I am not going to go on and on and list each and every good and bad thing about multi-tasking — a lot of articles have been written on this and if you do your research, you will see each side of the coin, plus some.
For the sake of my time (as I am multi-tasking at the moment) and my respect for your precious time (with which you could be multi-tasking), I am going to simply provide you with the general gist of the "pros" which is that multi-tasking is good because you get a lot done (most of the time), it helps you be adaptable/flexible, helps you tackle high and low-priority tasks, at the same time, and it is fun. For the "cons," well, sometimes the quality of your "work" declines, sometimes you can get overwhelmed, and sometimes it can actually slow you down. You know what else is bad about multi-tasking? Multi-tasking can lead to more errors and actually hurt relationships — a real-life example of such I will provide for you.
I have been so busy lately with my kids activities, my writing and the housework, that I have not been fully engaged and actually "present" in any in-person, phone or text conversations that I have been having. I will speak, respond, text, etc, but I have not been actively listening to those I am conversing with and I have definitely not been taking note of anything important that is/has been being said. Because of this, I flopped this weekend. Big time. I messed up the time of a birthday party for one of my children's friends and it conflicted with vacation plans that my family had. Had I just stepped outside of myself for a hot second, I would have not made such a silly mistake. You know who did not find my mistake silly? My daughter, who cried because of my blunder and the mere thought that she was going to have to miss her best friend's party.
This is one small example, but I can recall many, many times where my multi-tasking has gotten me into trouble. But, guess what? I am not going to stop multi-tasking. And, if you are a multi-tasker, I don't think that you should stop either. But, what do I think? I think that there is a way to do multi-tasking right and a way to do it wrong. I think the problem has not been the mere fact that I have been multi-tasking, but rather that I have just been doing it wrong. Productive multi-tasking involves preparation, a plan B, C, and D, time blocking, organization and knowing when to stop engaging in it.
One of my new goals…to only multi-task the right way.
Are you a successful multi-tasker? If so, please, please, please, share any and all tips with me because I am in total need of them!
Job Posting: Mother — Would You Get Hired?
I multi-task all the time! It's crazy. Sometimes, I forget what I'm supposed to be doing. I have to have a set limited of time otherwise, I'll lose my train of thought (when writing) or completely miss doing something.


Guardianship in Maryland and when it's appropriate.
We assist individuals with disabilities and their families to determine whether a guardian of the person or the property is needed. We can talk with you about guardianship law in Maryland and explain when a guardian can be appointed to act for a person who lacks the capacity to make decisions. There are many alternatives to a formal guardianship proceeding that may be more appropriate and less expensive than a formal guardianship. Some of those alternatives are Advance Health Care Directives, Advance Mental Health Care Directives and Powers of Attorney. We also help determine whether a Special Needs Trusts is needed. Ellen A. Callegary, Esq. is the Co-Editor of "Guardianship and Its Alternatives: A Handbook on Maryland Law", a joint publication of The University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law's and the Maryland State Bar Association.


Chancellor George Osborne has announced an overhaul of stamp duty, which will come info effect as of midnight, Thursday 4 December.
The change means that homeowners will be subject to a graduated tax as opposed to what has been referred to in the past as a 'slab tax'.
Until today's Autumn statement, those buying property had to pay tax at a single rate on the entire property price. Tax was set at 1 per cent on properties over £125,000, 3 per cent over £250,000, 4 per cent over £500,000, 5 per cent over £1m, and 7 per cent over £2m.
In his fifth Autumn statement, Mr Osborne has now restructured the tax so that buyers only pay the rate of tax on the part of the property price within each tax band, similar to income tax thresholds.
There will be no tax payable for houses worth less than £125,000, 2 per cent on the portion of any value above this and up to £250,000, 5 per cent on the next portion up to £925,000, 10 per cent up to £1.5m, and 12 per cent thereafter.
Click here to find out how the new stamp duty structure affects you.

Q: Software implementation of quantile function for t distribution I want to implement a quantile function into one of my documents in LaTeX. Specifically, the quantile function for the t distribution. Yes, I'm talking about an actual numerical approximation of for instance the qt() function in R, inside my document.
How is the quantile function normally implemented? Neither the regularized beta function, nor the hypergeometric function I can find anywhere on the web and LaTeX/tikZ don't seem to calculate integrals or infinite sums/products (or at least not in a timely fashion, I've heard options in the general direction of the xint package). Both of these functions (including sgn(x), but that one's easy to implement in TeX) keep coming up when I'm trying to approximate the quantile function.
Bonus points if you know a LaTeX-specific implementation of the quantile function or if you know where to start.

Sokoto State News
Abia NDLEA arrests four for illegal production of sedatives
999 Views January 25, 2019, 9:04 am inAbia State News, Anambra State News, Enugu State News, News, Sokoto State News
Bamidele Akingbade, State Commander, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Abia, said that four men were arrested for illegally and secretly manufacturing Diazepam, a sleep-inducing anti-depressant drug.
Akingbade disclosed this while taking newsmen round the drug production laboratory at Omenihu Street, off Enugu – Port Harcourt Expressway, Osisioma Local Government Area, near Aba.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Diazepam is the generic name for a controlled sleep-inducing, anti-depressant drug, also called valium.
He said that the company, which produced a brand of Diazepam, named DIZAPAM, was doing so without licence and in an unauthorised environment within a residential area.
Akingbade said that the company, without name, was operating in a warehouse and producing the substandard drug with the name of an Indian drug company, Shalina Laboratories, PVT, India.
The commander said the suspects were caught working in the laboratory when NDLEA men raided the warehouse.He said that the owner of the factory, who is operating from Onitsha, Anambra, was on the run, while the agency had gone after him, after sealing off the warehouse.
Akingbade said that the agency had been gathering intelligence on the illicit drug production for some days before it materialised in the arrests.
"What they do here is compounding and making diazepam illicitly, because from the test that has been conducted, it proved positive for Diazepam but the production, registration is not controlled."So it is a clandestine laboratory. He has no number. He has nothing to show government why he is producing the drug.
"I want to add that Diazepam that is produced here is a controlled drug and if a drug is controlled, it means that it affects the central nervous system."And the use or abuse of it can lead to addiction or general damage to the user's brain.
"It is a depressant and used for treatment of insomnia and anxiety. So we expect that it should not be produced by a single individual in this environment." he said.
He promised that the man would be punished by the law when caught. Akingbade urged persons buying diazepam in Aba or the South East, to check and ensure they got the authentic one.
He said it was suspected that some of the substandard products had been moved into the market.He also urged residents in these areas, who had information on such unlicensed drug productions, to report to NDLEA for prompt action to save lives.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that proper production of diazepam must go through registrations with Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN), NAFDAC and permit from NDLEA.
Also, it must be professionally prepared and produced in a verified laboratory with fully employed workers, who must be certified pharmacists.
The unlicensed laboratory is equipped with one big Lister generator, two packing and sealing machines, two tablet-making machines, one mixing machine and a dryer.
There are also unsealed tablets with waste products from packaging littering the floor of the production rooms forming the laboratory, when newsmen visited the warehouse-turned laboratory.

Q: Python: Purpose of "nested" dictionaries? I see this in sample code frequently:
# Our mock database.
users = {'foo@bar.tld': {'password': 'secret'}}

wondering why not just say
passwords = {"foo@bar.tld": "secret"}

Where is the benefit of such a nested structure?
Definitely there is a drawback: need to make sure to name the key "password" the same for each user I set up...

A: Because it is often the case that you need to have more entries in each level of the dictionary, for example
users = {'foo@bar.tld': {'password': 'secret',
                         'name': 'john smith',
                         'creation_date': '2017/09/06'},
         'baz@qux.tld': {'password': 'secret',
                         'name': 'someone else',
                         'creation_date': '2017/08/02'}}

This is similar to the structure of JSON where you can have arbitrarily nested items to represent a hierarchy.

A: Imagine that you have more users, and every user has a password, username, age, date of birth, photo, id...etc, then this would be very inefficient :
users = {'foo@bar.tld': 'secret,userName,15,pic.png...etc'} # you also need other users with properties

Then you are forced to use :
users = {
          'foo@bar.tld':
                        {'password': 'secret',
                         'username': 'userName',
                         'age': 15,
                         'photo': 'pic.png'},#etc...
          'user@two.tld': { # same thing ... }
        }

Vladdy's three homers lead the Blue Jays to a win in New York but Teoscar Hernandez left with an injury
Photo credit:© Wendell Cruz-USA TODAY Sports
This is one we'll remember as a Vladdy Game.
Guerrero Jr. smashed three homers, two off of Gerrit Cole, as the Blue Jays beat the Yankees in The Bronx by a score of 6-4.
Things worth mentioning…
The first Vladdy homer came in the first inning and it just scraped over the wall in centre field, the second came in the third inning and he managed to hit one of Cole's fastballs that was in on his hands 427 feet to left field, and the third one came in the eighth inning off of Jonathan Loisaga and it looked like the ball was hit into space. Amazingly, two of the three homers came after Vladdy had his hand stepped on by Aaron Hicks as he ran out a ground ball past first base. Vladdy was gushing blood out of his hand, taped it up, and took that Cole fastball on the hands into the seats. Absolutely fucking nails.
Jose Berrios got the start and did a lot better than he did back on Opening Day. I mean, that's obviously a low bar, but Berrios was cruising through the Yankees' lineup for four innings before he got into trouble in his third go-around. In the fifth inning, Anthony Rizzo and Aaron Judge clubbed back-to-back homers and then Josh Donaldson and DJ LeMahieu both hit doubles to tie the game. Berrios got out of the inning and finished off with a line of five innings, six hits, three walks, and five strikeouts. Far from his best stuff, but a step in the right direction based on last time.
The shitty part of the game came in the sixth, right after the Yankees tied the game with their three-run inning. Vladdy hit a double and Teoscar Hernandez came up to bat and swung through a pitch from Cole so hard that he pulled out of the batter's box afterward holding his side. Charlie Montoyo came up to the top of the dugout stairs and checked in on Teoscar but he waved the manager off and wound up grounding out softly. He winced in pain slowly jogging up the first base line and was pulled immediately after. It seems like an oblique injury, which wouldn't be good, but, for now, the Blue Jays are calling it Left Side Discomfort.
So we don't end on a negative note, here's something hilarious from when it looked like the Yankees had tied the game in the eighth inning on a three-run Stanton homer…


Sometimes when we look out into space, other planets appear to be traveling backwards through the zodiac. Although planets move forward, an optical illusion throughout the year causes the planets to appear to be traveling backwards. We call this motion a retrograde.
Each planetary retrograde affects us as individuals and as a global society. Knowing when a retrograde occurs is only half the issue. You must also know the Planetary Retrograde Affects, in general and as it relates to your astrological chart.

Q: PHP foreach json_encode issues I got problems with json_encode.
My code below:
$jsonfiles = array('http://example.com/myjsonishere.php'); //Here's my JSON
foreach ( $jsonfiles as $jsonfile ) {

    //read the json file contents
    $jsondata = file_get_contents($jsonfile);
    //convert json object to php associative array
    $data = json_decode($jsondata, true);
    $json = json_decode(stripslashes($data));

    foreach ((array)$json as $u => $z){

        foreach ($z as $n => $line){
            //get the tweet details
            $grap_item1 = $line['grap1'];
            $grap_item2 = $line['grap2'];
            $grap_item3 = $line['grap3'];

            // execute this insertion
            mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt);
        }
    }
}

Without that stripslashes, json_last_error would show error number 4 but now it's 0, so I'm good to go.
Without (array) in first foreach PHP error pop up:

Invalid foreach argument

Even if I have tested after $json = json_decode(stripslashes($data)); line : if(is_array($json)) the test is TRUE but still the foreach will not work without (array)
Anyway, in theory, my code passes the first foreach, but if I put inside first foreach loop e.g. var_dumb($z) or whatever, it will not print anything. So I guess my code is stuck in the first foreach.
Please, let me know if I could provide more information.

Q: How to target the second line of text within a span tag I have a wordpress theme whose list is in the following format,

  Personalised Services

  Complete support – from Port to Destination

The first span is for the bullet and the second contains the text that goes after the bullet.
Now in the case of the second li element the text goes to the next line and below the bullet. I would like to add some padding to the second line so it doesn't do below the bullet.
Here's a picture to show whats happening,

How can I target the second line (i.e "destination") ?

A: You can fix that by displaying the dot-span as an inline-block. Then you can give it a fix width and move it with a negative margin:
.oic-dot {
    display: inline-block;
    width: 15px;
    margin-left: -20px;
}

I made you this lookalike demo.
You will probably need to play a bit with the width and margin to adjust it to your website.

A: If you want to select 2nd line you can use following:
li+li span+span:first-line{
  color: black;
}
li+li span+span{ /*second line*/
  display: block;
  float: left;
  color: red;
}

JSFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/ws5rk0sx/
If you only need to align all lines equally use just:
li+li span+span{
  display: block;
  float: left;
}

A: You want the "text-indent" css property:
li span {
     padding-left: 1.5em;
     text-indent:-1.5em;
}

Text-indent indents the first line, so we push it backwards, but only after we pushed the ENTIRE text to the right.

A: Yes, you can use the following:
li:last-child > span:last-child {
    ...
}

It would probably help however to give your ul an id, so that you could use:
#ulid > li:last-child > span:last-child {
    ...
}

Without messing up any other UL's on the page. If it wasn't the last li in the ul you can use nth type instead of last-child for the li tag ^^

A: I've created a JsFiddle here
I've applied the below css to the span:
.text-span{
    display:block;
    margin-left:5px;
}

If you prefer not to set a class on the element you could also use:
ul > li span:nth-of-type(2){
    display:block;
    margin-left:5px;
}

A: you could simply use a table without border ;)
first colm would contain the bullet and the second colm the info...

Q: How can I compile C/C++ to a CP/M-86 executable (CMD) I have this project: Compile a C/C++ program to a CP/M-86 executable (CMD-file) with a modern compiler. The target architecture is 16-bit x86. You may think I am crazy but I am doing this for fun and to learn about CP/M-86 and low level x86 programming in general.
I have little to no knowledge about x86 assembler programming but I have done a "Hello World" example that I can use ASM86 and GENCMD to generate a CMD-file. And it works. ASM86 is an assembler program for CP/M-86 that will generate a H86-file, that is (as far as I understand) Intel Hex Code. GENCMD reads this HEX-file and creates the CMD executable. CMD is the CP/M-86 equivalent of EXE executables know from DOS and Windows.
I have a "modern" tool that will compile and link 16-bit x86 NASM code and output a working CMD that I can run on my CP/M-86 machine - build completely on my Linux machine. However, I need a C/C++ compiler that will create this compatible NASM code. Or maybe some kind of a flat binary that easily converts into a CMD.
The second thing is system calls. I can probably make a print-like function using inline assembly and test that. For now I just want to compile this program, that does not do anything (and hopefully does not do any system calls?):
int main()
{
    return 0;
}

C compilers do exist for CP/M-86 but these are very, very old and pretty much unusable. Especially if I want to do C++, like I really want to. So, it has to be done with a modern compiler like gcc or llvm-clang or something like that.
A last resort could be compiling a 16-bit DOS-compatible EXE and then do some system call translation... but that will be kind of cheating and still be quite time consuming.
How can I reach my goal? Thanks in advance. Any advice is appreciated :-)

A:
How can I reach my goal?

If you have working C compiler, then I think llvm-cbe is what you are looking for. This is backend for clang-llvm (and any llvm compilers I think), it take llvm intermediate representation (IR) and convert it to C. So you can compile your c++17 code for any machine that has c compiler.
About
int main()
{
    return 0;
}

On linux this code will call open/close (and other file related stuff), because of libc work with stdout/stderr/stdin,
also it call exit_group, I not sure about ms-dos, but it should it least somehow report exit code to system.


Why would a Teacher Use a VLE?
A well-designed Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) has all the tools and services that are required to create and manage user accounts, social networks, discussion groups, news, announcements and more.
Using a VLE, teachers can keep track of assignments and file submissions, monitor quizzes, tests and exams, grade and receive proper feedback, etc., in one convenient place. They can also create courses with activities and assessments that are consistently organized and are easy to follow. The course content can be quickly and easily updated and adjusted and students and teachers can follow a clear, concise timeline of activities and projects, see what's scheduled ahead and review work for critical reflection, all in one place.
Many university campuses have adopted VLEs to create a virtual classroom where students and teachers share information. A new entrant to the VLE market, Easyclass, appears to be the new trend and has been growing exponentially not only in the higher education institutions but also in the K12 schools.
Why would teachers use Easyclass?
Cost effective: Easyclass simply does not cost a penny to educational institutions; it is a completely free platform.
A streamlined process: Teachers can have all their communications with students including feedback on assignments and grades at one place. They can send messages or make announcements to groups of students. They can provide feedback to individual students or groups of students on their assignments, activities and learning outcomes. Teachers can also communicate with each other and plan, co-ordinate and collaborate on activities in an easy way. Easyclass.com reduces the use of paper by making everything available online and allows teachers to add, remove, store and delete course materials within the course space instead of managing them in multiple locations.
Save time: Teachers can use electronic grade books to grade students' work and students can access the grades whenever they want in a secure manner. The grade books can be accessed anywhere provided there is an Internet connection. A grade book is highly efficient and it auto-calculates individual assignment or exam grades and also the overall grade. Electronic grade books ease the task of teachers and help them work in a more efficient way.
Enhance collaboration: Students can access everything that a teacher posts such as study resources, announcements, grades and more anytime they want. From within the course space, students can communicate with their fellow classmates. Students who are absent for a class can check the updated content, schedules, announcements and more without the need for requesting information individually. Students can stay up to date with information and can access websites, blogs, videos and other multimedia.
Engage students in discussions: Those teachers who have a large class can engage their students effectively by creating a discussion board. Students can collaborate on group projects or team work with the help of discussion boards. They also help involve students who are hesitant and inactive in class. Students can discuss their doubts with the teacher and help each other by being part of the discussion boards.
Optimize learning: Teachers can use assessment tools to decrease their grading load and create auto-grading quizzes, exams and reviews. With this, learners can get their results immediately and teachers only need to analyze the results. The results are automatically entered into the database to further simplify tasks and save time. Analytical tools can also be used to examine test results to look for areas where the quality of instruction, learning resources, activities, and curricula could be optimized or improved.
Reduce workload: Teachers can create a dropbox for students to submit their assignments at one place and stop lugging around stacks of assignments or tests that need to be graded. They just need to log in to www.easyclass.com to access student submissions.
A Virtual Learning Environment can have various benefits for educational institutions, universities and K12 schools. How else do you think using a system like Easyclass could benefit teachers and professors? Share your views in the Comment Box below.

Q: using sed parameters \1, \2 in the same expression side I have a text file with many equations of the following format:
somePtrName->ARRAY[0] == somePtrName->ARRAY[0]

Whenever the pointer names are the same, I want to use sed to replace the line and write true instead. I tried the following recipe,
but it didn't work:
$ sed 's/[^=]* == \1/true/' input.txt

I got:
sed: -e expression #1, char 19: Invalid back reference

Maybe I was too naive to believe I can use \1 in the same side it was defined?

A: You need to capture the chars first  by adding brackets around the pattern which are intended for catching, then only you could backreference it.
sed 's/\([^=]*\) == \1/true/' input.txt

or
sed 's/\([^=]\+\) == \1/true/' <<<"somePtrName->ARRAY[0] == somePtrName->ARRAY[0]"
true

always try to capture one or more chars otherwise, it would return true for empty rows like == if you used *
Also better to anchor your regex ^, $  inorder to avoid part of the text to get matched.

A: Could you please try following, this should be easy in awk if you ok with it.
awk -F'->| ' '$1==$4{print "true"}'  Input_file

Sheffield Hallam and Inspiring Governance have been in partnership since 2018 in which time we have worked on a number of joint-enterprises to raise the profile of governance as a great opportunity for employees to serve their community whilst gaining vital experience in a board capacity.
As part of the South Yorkshire Futures Social Mobility programme, Sheffield Hallam University is committed to raising awareness of the importance of school governance.
As SHU are playing the lead-role in South Yorkshire Futures, they wanted to start recruitment drive internally, before rolling this out wider.
'Inspiring Governance provides us with the matching and brokering service that we need to match volunteers to vacancies, as well as delivering us excellent relationship management – IG have always taken the time to understand our social mobility programme drivers'.
The IG platform has, therefore, enabled Sheffield Hallam to focus on recruiting new governors and raising the profile of this work with future governors, local schools, and colleges – knowing that there is a clear and established call to action for anyone who is interested.
'IG were also extremely well networked with Local Authorities and governing bodies which enabled our governors to access a wide range of support as well and gives us confidence that we are adding value and not duplicating any work in this space'.
Becoming a governor, according to the SHU is a rewarding experience which offers a chance to contribute to the region by supporting school leadership, raising educational attainment in the region, as well as to further enhance professional and personal development.
'The role enables our staff to develop a range of skills such as; strategic leadership; project management; budget control; teamwork and communication; problem solving; recruitment, and much more'.
There is huge opportunity to develop understanding of education policy and practice and how this in turn impacts on our students at Sheffield Hallam as well as our regional social mobility aspirations.
'We have created case studies of existing and new governors and created a dedicated staff intranet page with more information about the role and links to other useful information, including more information about our relationship with Inspiring Governance'.
On top of this, the SHU have developed a Governors Network who meet during the year and also have a shared mailing list to share any useful information and best practice, as well as acting as a support network for one another.

Velká cena Kataru 2008 byla zahajovacím závodem Mistrovství světa silničních motocyklů v roce 2008. Konala se ve dnech 7.–9. března na okruhu Losail International Circuit v katarském hlavním městě Dauhá. Do historie tento závod zapsal především tím, že se konal poprvé v noci za umělého osvětlení, závod třídy MotoGP se konal ve 23 hodin místního času.

Moto GP

Podruhé v historii započala sezóna mistrovství světa na katarském okruhu Losail. Tentokrát se však jednalo o historicky první závod za umělého osvětlení v silničních motocyklech.

Před úvodním podnikem se uskutečnily oficiální IRTA testy, které vyvrcholily kvalifikací, kde jezdci měli bojovat o cenu v podobě vozu BMW. Testy byli rozloženy do volných tréninků, kvalifikace a posledního dnu testů. První den byl nejrychlejší Nicky Hayden s časem 1:39,200. Druhý den před kvalifikací zajel nejrychleji Casey Stoner 1:51,427. Trať ovlivnil déšť.

Poté následovala nejzajímavější část testů a to kvalifikace. Podmínky byly stejné jako v tréninku, se kterým se shodoval i vítěz a výherce BMW Casey Stoner s časem 1:49,263. Zkrácen byl třetí volný trénink do kterého nasedlo na své motocykly pouze pár jezdců. Pořadatelé ho ukončili kvůli silném větru. Nejrychlejší byl Randy de Puniet 1:55,568. Nicky Hayden zakončil testy v Jerezu stejným způsobem jako je začal, zajel nejrychlejší čas dne v hodnotě 1:38,848,což byl i nejrychlejší čas celého testu.

Než ovšem odstartovaly oficiální volné tréninky tak se jezdci sešli v Kataru při posledních IRTA testech. První noční test vyhrál Casey Stoner a ten druhý zase nováček Jorge Lorenzo. Sezóna závodů mistrovství světa MotoGP tak mohla začít. Daniel Pedrosa nastoupil do závodu se značným omezením. Při letošních testech v Sepangu si poranil pravou ruku.

Výsledky závodu

Zajímavosti

Sylvain Guintoli odjel v Kataru svou 100. velkou cenu v mistrovství světa. Shinya Nakano oslavil 150. start v mistrovství světa.

Nováček Jorge Lorenzo dokázal hned při svém prvním závodě v nejsilnější kubatuře dojet na stupně vítězů. To se podařilo naposled jeho krajanovi Pedrosovi v roce 2006 a Noriyuki Hagovi v roce 1998. Rovněž dokázal vybojovat pole-position při svém debutu. Před ním to dokázal Max Biaggi v roce 1998.

Back in the old days, transportation technology was much simpler. A person who needed a taxi could either dial from a payphone (this was considered the "high-tech" way), or they could wave their hand (the "low-tech" way). With the invention of the internet, however, transportation technology has completely changed the taxi industry – some ways better, some ways worse.
• Mobile Booking: Customers can hail a cab (and prepay) with their phones without any delay.
• GPS Technology: Owners can track their fleet, and drivers can receive immediate directions.
• Instant Presence: Websites are way better at advertising than any billboard or commercial.
The rise of the online era has given amateur competitors a way to compete with the taxi industry on a worldwide basis. Share-rider services such as Uber and Lyft can contract drivers for work at a fraction of the price. Sadly, they are giving taxi companies a run for their money in certain areas.
For example, San Francisco taxis went from giving an average of 1,424 rides per month in March 2012 to giving only 504 rides by July. However, while San Francisco was struggling that year, the taxi industry was doing well in Houston, Texas, where drivers could be expected to average $240 per day in 2014. Obviously, the taxi industry as a whole isn't going anywhere.
In fact, Uber quietly "enhanced" its data collection methods just last year and now acts even more invasively. Every Uber customer has their precise location logged at all times – even when the app is running in the background. Basically, even when you aren't using Uber, Uber is still watching where you go.
As if that weren't enough, Uber is also thinking about accessing your phone so they can send promotional materials to everyone in your contacts list. You just wanted to book a ride, and now all of your friends are being harassed. And all in the name of "convenience"?
At Gazoop, we only keep track of the information that matters. We don't want to know what you've been doing all day, where you like to shop, or the personal contact information of your friends. We just want to get you to your destination!
Really, isn't that what the taxi industry is all about? Sheesh, some companies have really lost their minds. Check out our honest services and don't be deceived by the wrong transportation technology!


Executives set short-and long-term corporate objectives for each portion of the strategic plan. They also assign a value (i.e., a measure) that denotes the success of each objective.
Describe the strategies that will enable the organisation to achieve its objectives.
Assign and record the influence each strategy has on achieving an objective.
Note which department(s) is responsible for implementing each strategy.
Senior executives document the key assumptions and measures about business environment factors that could affect the organisation's ability to achieve its strategic objectives.
Are there any risks and what can be done?
How far will you let variances go before taking action?
What alternative plans are there?
The last step is to come to agreement on the amended tactics and the costs/revenues assigned to each activity. Once completed, the plan can now serve as the starting point for a more detailed budget breakdown, if required. The high-level costs and revenues from the plan become budget targets.
In this modern age, it is not a wise move to go manual, especially with core business processes. Discover how technology can help in the full whitepaper "6 steps for linking corporate strategy to the budget".


Examples of measureable annual goals and a chart to help build them.
The Parent Information Center (PIC) and the New Hampshire Department of Education worked together to develop two exemplar IEP transition plans. Both IEPs are included in the Life After High School Transition Toolkit (PDF, 77 pages, 2016) from PIC.
The Strafford Learning Center used their Transition IEP Planning Worksheet to build this exemplar. Schools can use this to organize transition information for easier entry into their data management system.
These exemplars were developed from NSTTAC case studies and used in a Secondary Transition Webinar Series at the NH Institute on Disability.
These case studies contain examples and non-examples of measurable postsecondary goals and annual goals. The case studies were developed by the former National Secondary Transition Technical Assistance Center (NSTTAC) and now live on the National Technical Assistance Center on Transition (NTACT) website.


The federal government is providing $ 40 million in funding to Nokia's research center in the Ottawa area to develop 5G cellular network technology, as its direct competitor Huawei is at the center of a diplomatic quarrel between Canada and China.
Canadian Innovation Minister Navdeep Bains took advantage of the Davos World Economic Forum to make the announcement today.
According to Ottawa, the investment is expected to create 237 jobs across the country.
Finnish Nokia, Sweden's Ericsson and China's Huawei are on the run to take control of the development of 5G technology in Canada.
Ottawa is conducting a risk analysis of this technology on the privacy of Canadians and national security.
The arrest in Vancouver of one of the heads of Chinese telecom giant Huawei in December set fire to the powder between Canada and China.
Since then, retaliation on both sides has escalated tensions.
The Trump administration is putting a lot of pressure on Canada to remove Huawei. The United States believes that the company is likely to use its network developed in different countries to spy on them and pass on information to the Chinese government.
In addition to the United States, other allies in Canada, including Australia and New Zealand, have already banned Huawei products from the future 5G network on their territory.
But Bell and Telus, who have already adopted Huawei to develop fifth-generation telecommunications networks, are also putting pressure on Ottawa.
Blocking Huawei would result in financial losses of at least $ 1 billion for Telus and Bell, according to the Toronto daily The Globe and Mail .

Иван Сергеевич Зудилов (1919—1980) — полковник Советской Армии, участник Великой Отечественной войны, Герой Советского Союза (1942).

Биография

Иван Зудилов родился 8 июня 1919 года в деревне Крутово (ныне — Гороховецкий район Владимирской области). Окончил среднюю школу и аэроклуб в Вязниках. В 1938 году Зудилов был призван на службу в Рабоче-крестьянскую Красную Армию. В 1939 году он окончил Чкаловскую военную авиационную школу лётчиков. С первого дня Великой Отечественной войны — на её фронтах, в первый же день войны сбил немецкий самолёт.

К февралю 1942 года младший лейтенант Иван Зудилов командовал звеном 163-го истребительного авиаполка 7-й смешанной авиадивизии Калининского фронта. К тому времени он совершил 125 боевых вылетов, принял участие в 19 воздушных боях, сбив 9 вражеских самолётов лично и ещё 3 — в группе.

Указом Президиума Верховного Совета СССР «О присвоении звания Героя Советского Союза начальствующему и рядовому составу Красной Армии» от 5 мая 1942 года за «образцовое выполнение боевых заданий командования на фронте борьбы с немецкими захватчиками и проявленные при этом отвагу и геройство» удостоен звания Героя Советского Союза с вручением ордена Ленина и медали «Золотая Звезда» за номером 1034.

Вскоре получил ранение в бою, перестав слышать на одно ухо, но сумел обойти комиссии. Прошёл всю войну от Курской дуги до Берлина. Летал на самолётах «И-16», «ЛаГГ-3», «Як-1», «Як-7», «Як-9». Всего за время своего участия в боевых действиях Зудилов совершил 378 боевых вылетов, принял участие в 100 воздушных боях, сбив 26 вражеских самолёта лично и ещё 5 — в составе группы. После окончания войны он продолжил службу в Советской Армии. В 1949 году Зудилов окончил Военно-воздушную академию. В 1961 году в звании полковника он был уволен в запас. Проживал в Одессе, умер 7 октября 1980 года.

Был также награждён четырьмя орденами Красного Знамени,  орденом Александра Невского и орденом Красной Звезды, рядом медалей.

В честь Зудилова названа школа на его родине.

Память

 Мемориальная доска в память о Зудилове установлена Российским военно-историческим обществом на здании Денисовской средней школы Гороховецкого района, где он учился.

Nearly 1,000 inner-city Phoenix high school students are getting an incentive to keep a "C" average. Businesses around the country have donated used computers or partnered with schools to supply new laptops to chosen sophomores. The students—who will take the equipment home on a loan until they transfer or graduate—also are required to stay out of trouble and stay in school in order to keep the computers.
The Phoenix Union High School District's $1.2 million giveaway may well be the most extensive undertaken by a single district.
Educators hope the computers will open doors for those new to English and those trying to improve their reading skills. The first 100 machines were doled out at South Mountain High School Oct. 23 and 25.
Surveys will be conducted and test scores analyzed in coming years to measure the success of the program.
All sophomores are eligible for the giveaway, but families will have to pay for internet service if they want it and attend four hours of training.
The last of the computers, paid for by federal funds earmarked to improve academic performance, will be handed out by the end of the year.

Yakusoku no Neverland – 03

Home First Impressions Yakusoku no Neverland – 03

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind – 16
Taking a ball a ball to the face is not fun at all. I speak from experience. Once upon a time a younger, fitter Passerby made football (soccer to the Americans, association football to the pedantics) his school yard pastime of choice. And you know how little kids are at sports. Boundless energy, zero discipline. It didn't help that I was a zealous defender, always getting up in the opponents' grill. Not like they cared; there's only one thing kids want to do in football and that's clearing the ball across the field whenever possible. But Passerby wasn't going to let that happen! He'll be marking you, ready to intercept. With his face. At point-blank range.
Brain damage, you say? Developmental issues, even? Nonsense. I turned out perfectly spatula.
Still, you'd think that demonic mind flayers would be more careful about preserving the skull-meats of their livestock. Why not just keep them indoors with mental exercises, instead of letting them run around outside where injury and concussions await? Is there more to their diet than the the tasty, tasty grey matter? Does free-range taste better?
I don't know if Yakusoku no Neverland wanted us to think about these things, but there is some level of casual sadism that it invites us to indulge in. I'm never really sure whether I'm supposed to be horrified or intrigued. Sure, eating children is terrible but… what's their recipe? This kind of complicit spectator perspective is enforced by the camera, which is often voyeuristic. Of course, part of the reason for this is that we know there's a snitch, but we peek on the villains too. On that note, I'm glad Sister Krone is here because she adds much to the narrative. In stories like these, villains are always more interesting than heroes. The heroes are simple; they don't want to get eaten so work to escape. But why do the villains do what they do? Were they humans once? Ex-orphans? What motivates their apparent cruelty? The entry of Sister Krone gives Mother (Isabelle?) someone to interact with, so we can see more of her business side. And we're also fortunate that Sister Krone is actually insane and will freely monologue and even break into character-developing song. But even then, there's only more questions. What do thse 'plant' hierarchies actually mean? What's the use in climbing them?
But for now, I guess we have to worry about the snitch. Unlike the horrified Emma, though, I'm once again more curious. Does the snitch actually know the secret? Are they selling out humanity willingly? Or are they naive and being manipulated? And I really hope it's not actually glasses girl. These things are no fun when they're made obvious.
By the way, let me know in the comments what you feel about coverage of Yakusoku no Neverland. THere are a lot of great series this season but, as always, limited time, so if you have any strong feelings about this show then make sure you're heard.
Motives and villian pacing for the 1st arc are quite small-scale and farm-limited, but will grow together with worldbuilding in future arcs.
Plus, the reasons why demons eat humans have just been revealed in the latest manga chapter, but it'll be a Long Time before any potential anime seasons cover that point.

If I know anything from young adult fiction (which Yakusoku no Neverland likely draws inspiration from) it's that they tend to start to lose the plot when they open up their world, so perhaps it's best we stay on the farm a while.

I so very badly want to continue that train of thought but… Discretion is the better part of valor here.
For the anime-only watchers, there are 3 characters in this arc that the manga showed their internal monologue: Emma, Norma, and Krone. There were a few scenes where Mama's thoughts were shown, but those were the main 3. The scene where Krone talks to the doll and dances around was not in the source material, but the same monologue did happen internally during the scene where Isabella interacts with Krone.
Now that we're at episode 3, I have to say that I am disappointed in the anime's decision to externalize the characters' thoughts. The doll scene makes Krone appear comically insane, and the scene where Emma said out-loud "I must protect these kids" makes her look incompetent. Seriously, Krone is supposedly in the room that is between the 3 children's rooms and is loudly dancing and singing that she will ship someone away. How did no one hear that? The manga internalized that entire information exchange, showing Krone is smart enough to realize the opportunity at hand, but not so stupid as to actually say it out loud, let alone sing about it. Had the doll scene been animated such that it was clear Krone wasn't talking out loud, then the impact would have been much different.
We know that Emma gets perfect or high scores every morning and Isabella said to Krone "easier than getting perfect scores every morning" (implying Krone was also cattle, based on her smile), so we are told the characters are intelligent but we are shown otherwise when they actually say their internal monologues out loud. To me, that is a sign of poor decision making on the director's part.
The anime is in a difficult position, I think. The internal monologue tells us a lot about a character but without dialogue boxes like a manga implementation is impractical. I'm of the opinion that adaptations need to tailor a story for their medium, even to the point of changing characterisation. Making Krone slightly more unhinged is not ideal, but we should think of it as a compromise.
I disagree on the implementation. There are several great examples in the "battle of wits" genre where the voice actors speak, but the characters themselves do not. One example is Light from Death Note; lots of scenes where the viewer can hear what he is thinking, but can also see that the scene calls for Light to not actually say anything or risk giving away information. There were similar scenes in Code Geass and Re: Zero that also worked well.
In this case, knowing what I know about the character (I won't spoil anything), I actually like the scene with the doll. To maintain the character but still work with the different storytelling medium, a much better way to do this scene would have been to animate Krone the exact same way, but not show her mouth move. Then, have the voice actress speak the same dialogue and have her softly hum in the background. The humming would get louder as she starts to dance and sing in her head.
If they had taken the direction I just came up with, the viewer would be left with the impression that Krone is unhinged, but not stupid. That would maintain consistency with the prior scene where she started to quickly memorize the children's profiles. If the anime wants the portray Krone the way it started to in the scene with Isabella, then it should maintain consistency with how the character behaves. Same thing with the other characters; the portrayal should be consistent and believable. I didn't see that in this episode 🙁
Now, having said all that, I think this adaption is still great. I also think that due to the nature of the story itself, anime-only viewers will also enjoy it. There hasn't been a good "battle of wits" anime in a while, and I would enjoy reading your coverage of the show.
I dunno. Into the Spiderverse made effective use of multiple techniques of handling internal monologue – including dialog boxes.
It will be interesting to see how/where anime adopts them.

I totally agree with you. I like to watch anime-only reactions on YouTube, and there were multiple people who were confused about Emma talking out loud during the scene where she's searching Carol's body for a tracker. People were like, "Dude, glasses girl is gonna hear what Emma's saying!" I just don't understand any reasoning behind changing it from an inner monologue to openly talking to herself out loud. Why? Is it so difficult to animate thoughts instead? Death Note did it, countless other anime have done it.
I am 100% in favor of covering The Promised Neverland. It's by far my favorite new anime this season, and as someone unfamiliar with the manga it is thrilling to be spoonfed the mystery bit by bit.

Welcome to Blank-Faced Establishing Shots: The Anime.
Me too. I'm 100% in favor of covering this, this season. Every episode so far has been intriguing, intense and suspenseful. And I dont expect that to change anytime soon.
This along with Dororo, Mob Psycho 100, and Tate no Yuusha are my top picks for thr season.
Yeah, definitely all for the coverage of this series going forward! Am an insane fan of the manga so it'll be interesting hearing your thoughts on the anime (even if it doesn't live up to the manga).

Well, it's worth following, for sure.
It's a big world (building) going on. I don't know how many eps it is,
so it could turn into a rushed train wreck if the #'s too low.
This ep explored the lead's deductive ability. And of course, the new Mom was
testing their abilities using the game of tag. Pretty devious, if you ask me…
We already know there are several "farms." So in this world, this is not
an isolated case of children-eating nuts. Which means it's a cultural thing
and socially acceptable. What's on the outside, even if the children all
manage to escape, may be worse than being the entrée for a group of fiends <sic>.
And how are they gonna pull it off? If it were just the 3 main leads, I'd say
probably, but it'll be tough. But crying babies and first graders
ain't gonna cut it.
There's a couple of ways this could go (maybe more):
1. They're high-quality. Is there a way to taint themselves w/o getting killed?
2. Does their tastiness expire after they reach a certain age? Do they only
need to survive on the outside long enough to become "stale?"
So there's a lot of potential in this horror / mystery series. And yes, if you're
watching a show about children being consumed, it's a horror show, IMHO.
Neverland is for sure very intriguing, since I have not read the manga.
The anime should not have a chance to reach this point, but I do worry about manga with cool premises and start of strong, esp if the mystery aspect is their big selling point in the beginning, but then they can easily go downhill once they've exhausted the use of their initial shock factor.
