Yamato Nishiki are the metallic version of Sanke. The muted, matte colors of the Sanke are replaced by the bright, vibrant metallic colors of Yamato Nishiki.
Yamato Nishiki are bred by crossing Sanke brood stock with Platinum Ogon brood stock.
Generally, the guidelines for Yamato Nishiki follow the same guidelines for Sanke. A clean, solid white base is preferred, with no flaws or blemishes marring the base color.
The black patterns should be spaced evenly about the body, and should not be confined to only one side or one end of the body. The black patterns should be solid and consistent, with no windows of orange or white showing through in the middle.
The matte red in Sanke is generally replaced by a bright orange color in Yamato Nishiki. This orange color should be of the same tone and hue across the entire body, and should accent the black patterns. Additionally, the orange should stop around the eyes, and should not extend all the way down the head to cover the nose.
Although these are the guidelines for a high quality Yamato Nishiki, it can be quite difficult to find one that meets these high standards, as Yamato Nishiki are quite rare.

Massive Metal Monday: Blue Oyster Cult "Veteran Of The Psychic Wars" (Live)
By Ides Bergen | @ | Monday, December 14th, 2015 at 4:00 pm
Blue Oyster Cult may have been the most important American band in the infancy of heavy metal. Formed in New York in 1967, they were known as The Soft White Underbelly until 1971. The name was changed just in time for their eponymous 1972 debut album which contained the hit single "Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll." Through constant touring, BOC became one of the biggest concert draws of the 1970s. Their popularity would begin to wane in the mid '80s, but not before they had left an indelible mark on the metal world with classics such as "Don't Fear The Reaper" (hilariously spoofed in the SNL "more cowbell" sketch), "Godzilla," "Burnin' For You," "Harvester of Eyes," "Black Blade," "E.T.I. (Extra Terrestrial Intelligence)," "Joan Crawford," "Astronomy," and many more, including today's featured Massive Metal Monday track "Veteran of the Psychic Wars," which can be enjoyed below.
Despite the lack of a record deal, no new studio album since 2001 and the death of founding keyboardist Allen Lanier in 2013, BOC continue to tour to this day. Founding guitarists/singers Donald "Buck" Dharma and Eric Bloom are still front and center and the current lineup is a live force to be reckoned with. If you are ever presented the opportunity to catch them live, do it!
If you need further convincing, here is Blue Oyster Cult performing "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" live at the Hollywood Sportatorium in Hollywood, Florida on October 9, 1981. The original version of the song appears on BOC's 1982 album Fire of Unknown Origin
This Massive Metal Monday is dedicated to the memory of Allen Lanier.
When I was growing up in rural Indiana in the early '80s, there was very limited access to heavy music. These were the days before MTV blew up with the whole hair metal, Headbangers Ball phenomenon. But on Sunday nights, there was a two-hour radio show that came from WOXY, just across the state line in Oxford, Ohio (home of Miami University of Ohio). It was called Massive Metal for the Masses, and I would wait all week for it to air. It was through this show that I was introduced to bands like Venom, Bathory, WASP, Michael Schenker Group, Slayer, and countless others. This Monday weekly column is my tip of the hat to that show. I call it Massive Metal Monday. Every week, I pay tribute to defining moments by the artists that laid the groundwork for heavy metal to become the worldwide cultural bond for all of us metal heads.

Guide for the hero Zephys, a character in Arena of Valor (AoV). Included are Zephys's abilities, statistics, attributes, strengths, weaknesses, and more.
These are Zephys' attributes on the mobile version of Arena of Valor. Click here for his attributes on the Nintendo Switch version.
Every 3% of HP lost grants 1% damage reduction.
Unwavering Death applies at time of damage calculation.
Zephys lunges forward, dealing 175/200/225/250/275/300 (+1.0 AD) physical damage to enemies along the path. His next normal attack deals 175/200/225/250/275/300 (+1.3 AD) physical damage and reduces enemy movement speed by 25% for 2 seconds.
Critical damage is only applied to Zephys's base AD on the attack. For example, a normal (200% damage) critical hit on an attack after a level 1 Death Rift will deal 2AD + .5AD + 190 damage.
Zephys unleashes a series of rapid attacks, dealing 95/105/115/125/135/145 (+0.4 AD) physical damage with each attack to the enemies in front of him. Each hit on an enemy hero restores 35/39/43/47/51/55 (+0.15 AD) HP to Zephys.
A channeling ability, moving or attacking will cancel Death's Flurry.
Zephys attacks from above, dealing 370/460/550 (+1.4 AD) physical damage to enemies in the target area and knocking them into the air for a brief period. Enemies hit are inflicted with the Thundercrash debuff and take an additional 40/60/80 (+0.16 AD) magic damage when hit by Zephys' normal attacks and abilities.
Thundercrash debuff is indicated by purple electricity running through affected heroes. Debuff lasts roughly 5 seconds.
Zephys's passive allow him to keep fighting even with very low HP. Purchase equipment that boosts his survivability. Death's Flurry causes a lot of damage, but make sure to aim it properly to deal as much damage as possible to multiple enemies.

Ideal chaotic pattern recognition is achievable: The Ideal-M-AdNN - Its design and properties
This paper deals with the relatively new field of designing a Chaotic Pattern Recognition (PR) system. The benchmark of such a system is the following: First of all, one must be able to train the system with a set of "training" patterns. Subsequently, as long as there is no testing pattern, the system must be chaotic. However, if the system is, thereafter, presented with an unknown testing pattern, the behavior must ideally be as follows. If the testing pattern is not one of the trained patterns, the system must continue to be chaotic. As opposed to this, if the testing pattern is truly one of the trained patterns (or a noisy version of a trained pattern), the system must switch to being periodic, with the specific trained pattern appearing periodically at the output. This is truly an ambitious goal, with the requirement of switching from chaos to periodicity being the most demanding. Some related work has been done in this regard. The Adachi Neural Network (AdNN) [1-5] has properties which are pseudo-chaotic, but it also possesses limited PR characteristics. As opposed to this, the Modified Adachi Neural Network (M-AdNN) proposed by Calitoiu et al [6], is a fascinating NN which has been shown to possess the required periodicity property desirable for PR applications. However, in this paper, we shall demonstrate that the PR properties claimed in [6] are not as powerful as originally reported. Indeed, the claim of the authors of [6] is true, in that it resonates periodically for trained input patterns. But unfortunately, the M-AdNN also resonates for unknown patterns and produces these unknown patterns at the output periodically. However, we describe how the parameters of the M-AdNN for its weights, steepness and external inputs, can be specified so as to yield a new NN, which we shall refer to as the Ideal-M-AdNN. Using a rigorous Lyapunov analysis, we shall analyze the chaotic properties of the Ideal-M-AdNN, and demonstrate its chaotic characteristics. Thereafter, we shall verify that the system is also truly chaotic for untrained patterns. But most importantly, we demonstrate that it is able to switch to being periodic whenever it encounters patterns with which it was trained. Apart from being quite fascinating, as far as we know, the theoretical and experimental results presented here are both unreported and novel. Indeed, we are not aware of any NN that possesses these properties!

Eight candidates offered roles following Compass Scotland's first Gateway to Employment programme
Eight successful candidates have secured employment following completion of Compass Scotlands Gateway to Employment programme.
In partnership with leading hospitality charity, Springboard, this programme offers each candidate a guaranteed Information, Advice & Guidance interview about employment and skills development opportunities with Compass Scotland.
Following the three week programme, six of the eight candidates have accepted roles at the Scottish Events Campus (SEC) in a mix of Apprentice Chef, front of house, admin and stock control positions, while two candidates secured roles elsewhere.
Thanks to the success of the first programme, and Compass Scotland's commitment to investing in young people and promoting the hospitality industry, the company ran a second Gateway to Employment programme on 29 November.
Compass Scotland's parent company, Compass Group UK & Ireland, is an active contributor to Springboard and the Gateway to Employment programme supports their joint goal of helping people who face barriers to work achieve their potential by investing in them and supporting them into employment.
This commitment builds on Compass Scotland's dedication to nurturing the Scottish workforce. During the programme, candidates developed their soft skills and built confidence in communication. The comprehensive programme included presentations given by senior staff including David Hay, Managing Director of Compass Scotland, Graham Singer, Culinary Director of Compass Scotland, and Lorna Wilson, Head of Catering Operations at Compass Scotland's flagship venue the Scottish Events Campus (SEC).
The programme culminates in guaranteed job interviews, with the chance to progress onto the Modern Apprenticeship Programme. This bespoke programme was launched by Compass Scotland earlier this year with a commitment to create and develop 100 new Modern Apprentice opportunities in its first year. The apprenticeship programmes offer a career progression roadmap for an individual to work towards, from a Foundation Apprenticeship, Modern Apprenticeship or a Graduate Apprenticeship, dependent on their current job role and skills development and progression requirements.
David Hay, Compass Scotland's MD, comments: "It was wonderful to see the successes of eight young people on our Gateway to Employment Programme. We are pleased to support Springboard in this valuable initiative that lets people thrive, nurtures our workforce and supports the vital hospitality industry. I am passionate about providing industry-leading, aspirational career pathways that offer genuine opportunities for skills development and progression.
"Scotland's reputation for hospitality and food and drink is world-renowned, and we are proud to be looking to the future and ensuring that the next generation of talent is nurtured. Springboard's excellent Gateway to Employment programme has given us yet another opportunity to support the Scottish talent."
Jonathan Foot, Head of Apprenticeships and Early Careers at Compass Group UK & Ireland, adds: "The Gateway to Employment programme was a fantastic experience for all involved, and we're thrilled to hear that has resulted in jobs for all candidates, with the majority of them gaining employment within Compass Scotland. From the candidates to the senior Compass Scotland team, the approach to learning and progression demonstrated in this pre-employment programme benefitted everyone. This programme is one that will help people develop the skills and confidence needed to support them with their first step on the career ladder at Compass."
Chris Gamm, CEO, Springboard said: "This is a fantastic example of how Springboard is working with our partners to futureproof the talent pipeline, supporting our mission to get 10,000 young, unemployed people into work in hospitality by the end of 2022. We're delighted that eight candidates have secured jobs with promising careers at Compass Scotland immediately upon completing the programme and we wish them all the best for their futures."

Salerno to make fantasy sports pitch to Gaming Commission
Vic Salerno said fantasy sports betting should look more like horse racing. He may get his wish when the Nevada Gaming Commission on Thursday considers his proposal.
By BUCK WARGO SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW-JOURNAL

Vic Salerno said fantasy sports betting should look more like horse racing.
He may get his wish.
The Nevada gaming veteran and innovator will go before the Nevada Gaming Commission on Thursday to advance his concept and licensing of his USFantasy to provide a menu of daily and weekly fantasy sports contests that will include the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, NASCAR, PGA Tour and other sports. There are no immediate plans to include college sports.
Earlier this month, the Nevada Gaming Control Board gave its recommendation for licensure.
Salerno, president of USFantasy, wants to launch the concept in August starting with Major League Baseball and transitioning into the NFL in September. Other sports would be included when their leagues start.
It would vary greatly from existing fantasy sports contests operated in other states by DraftKings and FanDuel, the nation's two largest Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) operators. Both stopped offering the contests in Nevada after Nevada gaming regulators in October banned unlicensed daily fantasy sports websites from providing the service to Nevada customers, arguing that it constitutes sports betting.
USFantasy plans to launch the concept to Nevada casinos' race and sports books and ultimately expand it to states across the country through racetracks and even lotteries to create larger nationwide pools.
"I have talked to several of the casinos and I have not heard one negative thing about it," Salerno said. "They all seem to want the product added to their menus."
The USFantasy concept is based on pari-mutual betting that's done in horse racing and in which Salerno said the takeout or hold is as high as 25 percent on some wagers. The fantasy takeout or hold will range from 10 percent to 14 percent, depending on the event and entries, he said.
People can wager as little as $1 and make picks on those groups for an athlete to win, place and show – first, second and third – and do combinations just like in horse racing such as picking the top two in order, which is an exacta. The football winner might be based on passing yards touchdowns but scoring of categories hasn't been determined.
"Instead of calling them races, we would call them events," Salerno said. "The first race instead of having horses, we list the top 20 quarterbacks in the NFL and you can bet on them. The public decides who the favorite is going to be. If everybody keeps betting on (New England quarterback) Tom Brady, he becomes even money or 6-5 or something like that."
With DraftKings and FanDuel, for example, the DFS operators determine the value of athletes in their contests and contestants have no idea how much support the athletes are getting in the contests. The fantasy operators have also been plagued by allegations of insiders having information that the public doesn't have, and that's triggered state and federal inquiries.
"We want to keep it as easy as possible for everybody to understand yet still be challenging enough for the people that really study it more to also have a good shot at it," Salerno said. "The difference between us and FanDuel and DraftKings are that in ours there will be 80 percent of the people getting the money back and not 2 to 5 percent of people getting the money back."
DraftKings and FanDuel did not respond to requests for comments.
Jay Kornegay, vice president of race and sports operations for the Westgate Las Vegas, said a meeting is planned for Monday to talk about the concept.
"We have done business with Vic for a long period of time and certainly we respect all the work he has done for the industry over the years," Kornegay said. "Now he has come up with a new fantasy concept I believe is brilliant. It's something many of us didn't think of before, but it certainly has some legs to it."
Pari-mutual wagering has struggled over the years because it's difficult to win it and racing has large take outs and small fields, Kornegay said.
"This offering that Vic is presenting is different from our race product," Kornegay said. "It's going to have large fields, the takeouts are a lot less than at a normal track, and it receives a lot of coverage so people will be familiar with the names that are in these pools.
This application of daily fantasy sports can easily adapt with existing pari-mutuel regulations in 43 states, Salerno said. He said they're meeting with state legislators in other states, and there has been interest in it, he said. Some states have banned DFS by calling it a game of chance instead of skill but every state is different, and he said he hopes the pari-mutual concept overcomes any concerns.
Daniel Wallach, a gaming and sports law attorney based in South Florida with the firm Becker & Poliakoff, said the only states that have carved out exceptions for fantasy sports are Tennessee, Indiana, Virginia, Mississippi, Colorado and Missouri. Others will be done by a state-by-state determination.
"US Fantasy is going about this smartly in creating a true pari-mutuel product that does provide greater consumer protections than most salary-capped games where there is little transparency and visibility in what is going on," Wallach said. "This is a good first step."
Vic Salerno is a 38-year veteran of the race and sports book industry in Nevada. He was chairman of the board and chief executive officer of American Wagering Inc. until it was sold to William Hill in July 2012. He then served as chairman of the board until February.
Salerno is credited for the first computerized book making systems, first sports bookmaking network hub operation in Nevada. He pioneered the development and use of self-service race and sports book kiosks.
He was inducted into the American Gaming Association Gaming Hall of Fame in 2015.

most of your customers won't take action the first few times. There are all kinds of reasons for this. Your customers aren't familiar enough with what you want them to do. Repetition helps build familiarity, which in turn helps build trust and it then builds a routine. Your customers have many distractions in their busy lives, and they also have time-pressures. This causes them to delay action, and they will soon forget all about you. Repetition reminds them about you, and reminds them to take care of things they have forgotten. Perhaps you haven't encouraged them to take immediate action, or maybe they just haven't yet realized how your services and products can benefit them. Regardless of the cause, the unfortunate result is that they don't (or can't) remember who you are. Start repetition by opening the box and handing your customer the calendar stickers. Ask them to place the stickers on their calendar today, and tell them how important it is for them to treat their system monthly. Follow up with your customers using postcards, phone calls, emails, Facebook, Twitter, etc – all the time stressing the important of monthly treatments. At the same time make them aware of your other services. This will keep you fresh in their minds. If they, or their friends and neighbors, have a problem you will be the first company they remember.
won't just present your message to prospects one time and then rest on your laurels.
Instead, you'll be persistent and stay in contact with your customers with repetition.
You'll be surprise how fast your business grows by using the Rule of Repetition.

Q: create a function that converts roman characters to integers I want to create a function that reads any roman characters and convert it to integers in R.
I've tried this :
roman_to_integer <- function(roman) {
    convert = c("I"=1, "V"=5, "X"=10, "L"=50, "D"=500, "M"=1000)
    int = 0
    for (i in 1:length(roman)){
        value = convert[i]
        if (i+1 < nchar(roman) & convert[i+1] > value){
            int = int - value
        } else {
            int = int + value
        }
        int
    }
}

How can i improve/fix this ?
Thank you !

A: v <- c("I", "V", "X", "L", "D", "M", "LXXIX")

as.integer(as.roman(v))

# [1]    1    5   10   50  500 1000   79

With as.roman you can do arithmetic operations as well like
as.roman("M") - as.roman("I")

# [1] CMXCIX

A: Are you aware that this is already implemented in base R?
roman_number <- as.roman("XLII")
roman_number
#> [1] XLII

as.integer(roman_number)
#> [1] 42

You can look at the function implementation with getAnywhere(".roman2numeric").

Stark Parks hosts dedication for new gazebo, raptor flight cage
Steven M. Grazier IndeOnline.com staff writer
The Stark County Park District hosted a dedication of a new gazebo and raptor flight cage on Monday at Sippo Lake Park.
PERRY TWP. Tracy Stadelman said her mother, Diana, was as outdoorsy as anyone. So a soggy New Year's Eve afternoon wasn't a problem when folks celebrated additions to the Stark County Park District including a new gazebo and access trail funded by the Stadelman family.
Steady rain Monday didn't scare away about two-dozen people who came out to view the new gazebo and access trail at the north entrance of Sippo Lake Park. The upgrades were funded by the family of Diana L. Stadelman and offered in her name. Family members joined park staff and others for a live event near Exploration Gateway.
"She (mom) was an outside person, and rain never bothered her," said Tracy Stadelman. "She planted flowers and trees all over Meyers Lake Village. She was high energy."
Diana Stadelman served as mayor of the the village for 30 years. She died on Oct. 7, 2015, at 76.
According to Tracy Stadelman, her mother would have been pleased the walking trail from the parking lot to the gazebo and continuing to the lake was constructed to be handicap accessible, and be a pathway that caters to everyone.
"Those with wheelchairs and strollers, and hikers, bikers and dog walkers, can all (get) down to the water," she said.
The gazebo is close to where a wildlife observation tower once stood at Sippo park. A plaque inscribed, "Think Big, Dream Big," is positioned at the start of the trail adjacent to Exploration Gateway.
Flight cage introduced
A new raptor flight cage at the park's Wildlife Conservation Center to the west of the park also was recognized by park officials Monday. The cage was constructed through a donation from the nonprofit conservation foundation, Wild4Ever.
According to Talula Koch, natural resources manager at Stark Parks, the flight cage will assist the district in releasing birds of prey back into the wild by giving them shelter and time to heal and rest.
"It helps them rehabilitate and gain strength for flight," said Koch, adding that the cage was completed in the fall. It currently houses one bird.
Overall, the cage can keep up to six birds of the same species, Koch said. However, the structure could be split in half to house different types of birds simultaneously.
Donations for the gazebo and trail and the raptor cage were not disclosed by park officials.
Bob Fonte, Stark Parks director, said the district's staff constructed the trail and cage during the summer and fall.

Good Enough () — четвёртый сингл американской группы Evanescence из альбома The Open Door. Песня написана Эми Ли, клип был выпущен 10 сентября 2007 года.

О песне
Эми Ли относительно песни:

Ли говорит, что её муж стал вдохновением для написания этой песни, подобно тому, как он стал вдохновением для первого сингла Evanescence «Bring Me To Life».

Так же, как и песню Lacrymosa Ли писала Good Enough как саундтрек к фильму «The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe» (Хроники Нарнии: Лев, Колдунья и Платяной шкаф), но боссы компании Disney сочли эту композицию слишком мрачной и пафосной. В конечном счете она не была включена в саундтрек, зато часть материала составила основу песни «Good Enough». Эми подтвердила это на EvBoard, и сказала, что «Narnia Song» цела и невредима, и возможно будет реализована в будущем как B-side.

Сначала Эми Ли не хотела, чтобы «Good Enough» вошла в альбом. В интервью итальянскому каналу, она сказала, что эта песня не в стиле Evanescence. Но группе эта песня очень понравилась, и было решено, что она войдёт в альбом.

Good Enough первоначально планировалось выпустить 30 ноября 2006, после двух отсрочек, было решено отменить выпуск диска без каких либо дальнейших планов. Не существует никакой информации в прессе о том, почему выпуск сингла был отменён.

Музыкальное видео
 Клип снимали с 11 по 14 июля 2007 года на улице Vaci utca в Будапеште, Венгрии. Улица Vaci utca, на которой снимался видеоклип, самая известная в центральном Будапеште. 3 июля 2007 года в интернет попала ворованная, незаконченная версия клипа. В ней отсутствовало множество спецэффектов. На картинке присутствовал таймер и надписи — названия спецэффектов. И к тому же видео было очень тёмное.
Видео было представлено Эми Ли на TRL MTV 10 сентября. И всё же за день до официального релиза видеоклипа, окончательная версия клипа попала на YouTube.com.

В видео Good Enough Эми записывает в дневник следующие строчки:
Can't let go of this dream
I can't breathe but I feel
Good enough
For you to love me too
Shouldn't let you
Последняя строчка ещё находится под вопросом.

В клипе снялась только Эми Ли

Q: New To MySql Nested Query I have 2 tables that I'm trying to pull data from:

*

*USER

*USER_NAME

USER has the following indexes:

*

*ID

*ORG_ID

*DEFAULT_EMAIL_ID

*STATUS

*NAME

*CREATED

*UPDATED

USER_NAME has the following indexes:

*

*ID

*USER_ID

*STATUS

*TIMEZONE_ID

*DST

*LANG

*USERNAME

*PASSWD

*BACKEND

*REGISTERED

My goal is to get USERNAME from USER_NAME and NAME from USER.
My background is more in DB2. I'm just learning MySQL.
I tried the following with no luck.
select NAME from OST_USER where ID in (select ID, USERNAME from OST_USER_ACCOUNT where CREATED < '2015-07-09');
Any idea what I can do to get the info? Is it even possible with the given indexes? Any help is really appreciated!

A: If your goal is to select username from USER_NAME table that has the same USER_ID as ID in USER table, then your query must look:
SELECT USER.NAME, USER_NAME.USERNAME
FROM USER, USER_NAME
WHERE USER.ID = USER_NAME.USER_ID


This was a study on news published on daily newspaper. This study had some hypothesis on some specific issue on war and peace. Some non-parametric test was used to verify the hypothesis from the raw data set.

What to Expect When Markel Corporation Reports
The specialty insurer is still riding high after an exceptional Q1. Here's what to look for this time around.
Steve Symington
(TMFSymington)
Aug 3, 2015 at 6:38PM
Markel Corporation (NYSE:MKL) is set to release second-quarter 2015 results later this week, so now is a great time to review what to expect from the specialty insurer.
Analysts, for their part, anticipate that Markel's consolidated revenue will increase a modest 2.1% year over year to $1.28 billion, while net income is expected jump to $6.28 per share, up from $2.66 per diluted share in the same year-ago period.
The most important metric
But as a diversified financial holding company, Markel can have its success best gauged by looking at its growth in book value per share. That's why Markel begins each of its quarterly press releases by immediately noting changes in the key metric. Last quarter, for example, Markel's book value per share climbed 3.7% sequentially and 14.2% year over year to $564.29. Investors should also note that because Markel management's compensation is in part determined by the five-year rolling average of growth in book value per share, their financial interests are firmly aligned with those of shareholders.
Underwriting results
Next, Markel will provide underwriting results from its insurance businesses, including combined ratios from the U.S. Insurance, International Insurance, and Reinsurance operations.
On a consolidated basis last quarter, Markel's combined ratio came in at a stunning 83% -- which meant it earned $17 for every $100 in premiums it wrote -- an improvement over the much more typical 95% it achieved in both the previous quarter and the same year-ago period. For that, Markel credited "more favorable development of prior years' loss reserves," a lower accident loss ratio, and reduced expenses. To be fair, though, investors shouldn't expect this exceptional performance to be sustained over the long term. Though the expense side can be maintained to an extent, the absence of accident losses and release of prior-year reserves are both almost certainly temporary.
Guided by the steady investing hands of its renowned CIO and president, Tom Gayner, Markel should also provide an update on the performance of its investment operations.
Specifically, Markel will outline pre-tax investment returns ($263 million last quarter), net investment income (up 7.1% year over year to $92.9 million in Q1), and total invested assets at quarter's end ($18.6 billion last quarter, including $4.3 billion in equity securities). As of last quarter, equities represented around 23% of Markel's total invested assets in Q1, up from 22% the previous quarter. And most encouraging for long-term investors, Markel should detail net unrealized gains, which most recently rose to $1.9 billion. By holding its equity positions for long periods without selling, Markel can avoid incurring an unnecessary tax bill and further compound shareholders' gains.
A growing influence
Finally, don't forget about Markel's steadily growing non-insurance businesses, namely those acquired and held through Markel Ventures.
Markel Ventures has remained quiet on the acquisitions front since its purchases almost a year ago of baking-equipment maker Vanderpol & Den Boer and a majority stake in car-carrier manufacturer Cottrell. As I noted at the time, however, Cottrell is Markel Ventures' single largest transaction to date at $130 million, so it's hard to blame the company for taking a breather to scout out other high-quality companies to bring into the fold. Unless Markel has a surprise acquisition to unveil or adds to an existing stake, updates on Ventures will probably be limited to operating revenue (up 43% to $245.4 million in Q1), adjusted EBITDA ($33.59 million last quarter), and net income ($10.5 million).
Barring any big surprises one way or the other -- something that's quite rare for Markel given its shareholder-friendly tendencies -- I suspect this will be another solid report from an exceptional company as it expands its reach around the globe. In any case, feel free to check back here to see how Markel fared after its report hits the wires.

This One-Bowl Healthy Strawberry Muffins are my favorite breakfast right now!
Strawberries have taken me!! Only last week my fridge was free from strawberries. It was December mid, when I started shopping strawberries every week from 2-3 boxes. Just last week I didn't.
Eventually, I thought this one-bowl healthy strawberry muffins was my last strawberry recipe for this season. But today again I went and bought 3 boxes today. I am so obsessed with these beauties.
These muffins are just perfect for breakfast and for kids snack box. And no doubt kids will love strawberries. You can feel free to feed your little ones with this muffin, since it uses 100% Whole Wheat Flour and Honey as sweetener.
So don't forget to try this cake and share with me in Instagram and Facebook by tagging #bittybakes.
These Muffins are so easy to make and perfect for breakfast and for kids snacks box.
Preheat oven to 200 C for 10 min. Prepare a cupcake tray with liners.
In a bowl, add honey and oil, using a whisk mix it till combined.
Add 1 egg at a time and mix till incorporated. Add Vanilla Extract.
Add all other dry ingredients and mix till combined. Add in Strawberries.
Add milk only if batter is too thick.
Pour it in the prepared cups and top it with more strawberries if desired.
Bake for 10-15 min or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Eighty-two buildings have failed a new fire safety test set up in the wake of the Grenfell Tower fire, ministers say. The test examines the safety of building cladding and insulation in combination.
Another terrifying article, complete with diagrams of the building and what could have saved it.
"We are still wrapping postwar high-rise buildings in highly flammable materials and leaving them without sprinkler systems installed, then being surprised when they burn down," says architect and fire expert Sam Webb.
The Times has provided detailed newspaper coverage, but they need a subscription for their main articles. However this free article is about the cladding.
I'll do a summary of some newspaper articles when I get the time.
This is a new service from Building DiY website.
I am asking the various Councils around London for information on the cladding used in the many tower blocks.
As a property manager, I look after a couple of flats in these old tower blocks so have a strong interest. I am an ex-new build director so will present this as technical information.
LBHF (Hammersmith & Fulham Council), an area I work in occasionally, have got back already, by asking me questions about my query, which I suppose is a start!
Many blocks in Hammersmith & Fulham borough have been reclad recently.
LBHF (Hammersmith & Fulham Council) have moved my simple query to a Freedom of Information (FOI) request, which takes longer to process.
Now they say it will take 20 days to answer this question.
I am also adding new building site information, but this is a vast job. Where I live there are several new builds going on.
Often locals have no idea what is happening. Usually additions are made to the first approved planning application, such as adding extra floors, adding units, removing eco features etc. What you get is not what you expected! Sad but true.

Q: DOMPDF installation options I'm working on installing dompdf http://code.google.com/p/dompdf/
It's going well, but the installation instructions are telling me to "edit dompdf_config.custom.inc.php (in version 0.6) or dompdf_config.inc.php (version 0.5) to fit your installation." I am not sure what lines I am supposed to uncomment. I am using it on an Ubuntu Server (10.04) with the generic lamp stack, intending to code in PHP.
Has anyone used this that can at least explain (at least some of) what the different options are.
<?php

A: You don't need to edit any of the settings to start using dompdf. All of the settings have defaults, and dompdf may work right out of the box. All the settings are explained in dompdf_config.inc.php, and this is also where the defaults are set. But here's a quick list of the setting to pay the most attention to:

*

*DOMPDF_TEMP_DIR : dompdf uses this directory for image handling and temporary storage of remote content. The process under which dompdf is running should have read/write access. Default = sys_get_temp_dir()

*DOMPDF_CHROOT : If you're using $dompdf->load_html_file() to load a file from the local file system it needs to be under the directory specified in this setting. Default = dompdf installation directory

*DOMPDF_UNICODE_ENABLED : Does your document use a language other than English? If so this should be true, and you should read the Unicode How-to. Default = true.

*DOMPDF_ENABLE_PHP : using inline script? If not or if you don't know what that means set this to false. Default = false.

*DOMPDF_ENABLE_REMOTE : Are you loading documents using a full URL with domain? Do you reference images/stylesheets using a full URL with domain? Set this to true. Default = false.

A: And the config: (dompdf_config.custom.inc)
//define("DOMPDF_TEMP_DIR", "/tmp");

Windows machines are targeted by the CIA under 'Angelfire,' according to the latest release from WikiLeaks' 'Vault7' series.
The documents released on Thursday detail an implant that can allow Windows machines to create undetectable libraries.
'Angelfire' consists of five components - 'Solartime,''Wolfcreek,' 'Keystone,' 'BadMFS,' and the 'Windows Transitory File system,' according to a statement from WikiLeaks released stated.
'Solartime' modifies the partition boot sector of Windows XP or Windows 7 machines when installed, allowing the 'Wolfcreek' implant to load and execute. 'Wolfcreek' can then load and execute other 'Angelfire' implants.
Previously known as 'MagicWand,' 'Keystone' loads malicious user applications on the machine which never touch the file system, leaving "very little forensic evidence that the process ever ran" according to WikiLeaks.
'BadMFS' is described as a library which stores all drivers and implants that 'Wolfcreek' can activate. In some versions it can be detected, but in most it's encrypted and obfuscated, making it undetectable to string or PE header scanning, used to detect malware.
'Windows Transitory File system' is used to install 'AngelFire,' according to the release, allowing the addition or removal of files from it.
WikiLeaks says the leaked 'Vault 7' documents came from within the CIA, which has in turn refused to confirm their authenticity. Previous releases include details on CIA hacking tools used to weaponize mobile phones, compromise smart TVs and the ability to Trojan the Apple OS.
March this year, WikiLeaks stated that the CIA developed tools to spy on Mac computers by injecting software into the chips that control the computers' fundamental operations.

Holly Willoughby divides opinion with her revealing dress on Dancing On Ice
Cancer faker, 29, who shaved her head to fool friends is jailed for five months
A woman, 29, who faked she had cancer and even shaved her head to convince her friends she was terminally ill so they would pay for her £8,500 dream wedding has been jailed for five months.
Toni Standen, 29, of Widnes, Cheshire, made up a story that she had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and had just two months to live.
Friends launched a GoFundMe page to help her and her partner James have a 'wedding they deserve'.
Standen appeared before Chester Magistrates' Court today and pleaded guilty to fraud.
She has been jailed for five months and ordered to to repay a donation of £2,000 made by a local businessman.
Toni Standen, 29, of Widnes, Cheshire, shaved her head to fool her friends she was terminally ill
The Crown Prosecution Service said that in June 2015 Standen told two of her friends, Ashlea Rowson and Jennifer Douglas, that she had been diagnosed with terminal vaginal cancer.
Ms Standen provided regular updates on her treatment to her friends with such clarity and detail that the condition was never questioned.
She also shaved her head to appear as though she was undergoing treatment and shared pictures of this on social media.
The fraudster later claimed to have two months to live and said her wish was to have her 57-year-old father Derek, who was dying of cancer, walk her down the aisle.
Toni Standen, 29, (pictured with her husband James) had her dream wedding and a honeymoon to Turkey, thanks to her friends who raised £8,500 to give them a 'wedding they deserve'
Her friends began fundraising to help fund the wedding – which was held after the death of her father – at St Bede's Catholic Church in Widnes.
Her father Derek died before the wedding but a video he recorded was played on the big day.
One guest said: 'After hearing her father's laboured words she got up and gave a faultless speech, even cracking a few jokes.
Standen has been jailed for five months and ordered to to repay a donation of £2,000 made by a local businessman
'Her mother and brother were in bits. We'd all just listened to a father of the bride message from beyond the grave.
'Toni even received a video message from Everton FC, delivered by one of the top players. She laughed throughout.'
Touched by her seemingly heartbreaking story, her friends raised £8,500, which helped her have her dream wedding.
Standen and her newly-wed husband James reportedly flew off to a honeymoon in Turkey after a wedding.
The pair also reportedly had a holiday in March in which they visited Germany, Austria, Hungry, Czech Republic and Italy.
Suspicion grew surrounding Standen's condition after the wedding.
Eventually she admitted what she had done in a three-way phone call with her friends which they recorded.
In the call she admitted that she did not have cancer and never had.
In a text to friends after she admitted her scam, she said: 'I love you both, I am thankful for everything over the last couple of years.
'I am very sorry for all of this, I am embarrassed and heartbroken and right now I am struggling.
The fraudster announced on a post on social media that she had been given a terminal diagnosis
'There is so much I want to say but struggling where to start.
'At the minute I don't know if Jim and I will be getting a divorce, I don't blame him if he does and I don't blame you both if this is the end, I completely understand and will have to somehow move on through it'.
Judge Sanders, sentencing, said: 'You continued to embellish that tissue of lies, saying you had weeks to live.
'I don't accept you couldn't stop. Not only did you not stop, you made it worse by giving newspaper interviews to engender public sympathy.
'You used that money raised through the generosity of strangers to fund a wedding and a holiday.
'You kept taking money over many months. Every right thinking member of society would be appalled by your behaviour.'.
Standen (pictured) admitted what she had done in a three-way phone call with her friends which they recorded
Neil Colville, Senior District Prosecutor for CPS Mersey Cheshire said after the case: 'Toni Standen made up a terminal illness to gain sympathy and then watched as her friends raised money to support her through what they thought were her final years.
'She used that money to fund a wedding and a holiday. Her own father was genuinely ill but her condition was a fraud.
'She appears to have dug herself deeper and deeper into the deception as the years went by and seemed incapable of telling the truth and bringing the deception to an end.
'A local businessman donated £2,000 as he was so moved by her plight.
'He said in a Victim Personal Statement that he would think twice before giving to this sort of charity again.
'This was a sophisticated fraud, carried out over a number of years and has left her friends and others devastated. They feel cheated and betrayed.
'It is clear this has had a devastating effect on Ms Standen too.
'But she has only herself to blame and will now spend Christmas and several months after behind bars.'

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of 2 different dosing schedules of pembrolizumab (MK-3475), every 2 weeks (Q2W) and every 3 weeks (Q3W), and compare the 2 schedules to treatment with ipilimumab in ipilimumab-naïve participants with unresectable or metastatic melanoma.
Participants assigned to treatment with pembrolizumab could receive up to 2 years of treatment; if participants stopped treatment at 2 years and later experienced progression, they were eligible for a second course of treatment for up to 1 additional year. With Amendment 05, all Second Course participants will be treated with a fixed dose of pembrolizumab 200 mg Q3W. With Amendment 06, after the study has achieved its key objectives or the study has ended, participants will be discontinued from this study and enrolled in an extension study to continue protocol-defined assessments and treatment.
Participants receive pembrolizumab, 10 mg/kg intravenously (IV), Q2W for up to 2 years. With Amendment 05, all Second Course participants will be treated with a fixed dose of pembrolizumab 200 mg Q3W.
With Amendment 05, all Second Course participants will be treated with a fixed dose of pembrolizumab 200 mg Q3W.
Participants receive pembrolizumab, 10 mg/kg IV, Q3W for up to 2 years. With Amendment 05, all Second Course participants will be treated with a fixed dose of pembrolizumab 200 mg Q3W.
Participants receive ipilimumab, 3 mg/kg IV Q3W for a total of 4 doses.
No change with Amendment 05.
PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease progression, based on blinded independent central radiologic and clinical review using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1), or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Disease progression was defined as a 20% or greater increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions with an absolute increase of at least 5mm or the appearance of new lesions.
OS was defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. The reported percentage is estimated using a product-limit (Kaplan-Meier) method for censored data; for participants whose survival data was obtained after the data cut-off date for the interim analysis, data were censored at the date of cut-off (3 March 2015). Statistical testing was stratified by line of therapy (1st vs. 2nd), PD-L1) status (positive vs. negative) and ECOG performance status (0 vs. 1).
ORR was defined as the percentage of the participants with a best tumor response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on blinded independent central radiologic and clinical review using RECIST 1.1. CR was defined as disappearance of all target lesions with any pathological lymph nodes having a reduction in short axis to <10 mm. PR was defined as a 30% or greater decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions.
History of a malignancy (other than the disease under treatment in the study) within 5 years prior to first study drug administration, excluding adequately treated Stage 1 or Stage 2 basal/squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, carcinoma in situ of the cervix or breast, or other in situ cancers.

Home » Membership » Policies & Procedures » Transferring
Class "A" Transfers from Other Countries
The PGA of Canada accepts direct Class "A" transfers from the PGA of America, Britain, France and Australia. Anyone transferring must provide the Zone office with proof of current Class "A" status, proof of employment in Canada and all contact information. This information is then forwarded to the Membership Co-ordinator at the National Office, who will send an invoice to the new member.
PGA transfer requests from any other country or LPGA transfer requests are to be examined on a case-by-case basis by the National Office.
Note: PGA of America does allow Class "A" transfers from Canada, Britain, New Zealand and Australia, however, the transfer applicant must first complete and pass a "Test Out" exam. This exam is based on the material from PGA of America's required education program. It is very difficult to pass this exam, unless the applicant purchases and studies the course material. If the applicant fails, then they must complete all the Apprentice requirements.
Candidates For Membership Wanting to Transfer from Other Countries
The PGA of Canada does not accept the transfer of Candidates for Membership from Professional Golfers' Associations of other countries. The only component of the training that is transferable is formal education. All other components of the PACE program must be completed.
Members Transferring From One Zone to Another
A Member or Candidate for Membership accepting a position in, or moving to another Zone must notify both Zone offices immediately of such change. The former Zone shall transfer all membership information including application forms concerning the Member or Candidate for Membership to the new Zone. The new Zone must send National Office (Membership Co-ordinator) documentation about the transfer. National office records and database will be updated and, if applicable, a refund or invoice will be generated.
The Member or Candidate for Membership transferring shall be subject to all requirements of membership and shall furnish such information as may be requested by the Zone Board of his/her new Zone. Upon meeting such qualification and supplying such information he/she shall be subject to such privileges of membership as his/her category allows.
If a Member or Candidate for Membership transfers from one Zone to another after June 30th in any year, no difference in Zone dues between the two Zones shall be charged or credited to the Member or Candidate for Membership transferring. Any difference in dues will be charged or credited only if the transfer is made prior to June 30th of any year.

The Olympic Federation of Ireland or OFI () (called the Irish Olympic Council until 1952 and the Olympic Council of Ireland until 2018) is the National Olympic Committee (NOC) of the island of Ireland. Athletes from Northern Ireland have the option of participating under its auspices or in the Great Britain Olympic Team. Its mission statement is "To manage and enhance the performance of Team Ireland at Olympic Games whilst developing the Olympic Movement in Ireland." In 2018 the Olympic Council of Ireland was renamed as the Olympic Federation of Ireland.

History

The Olympic Federation of Ireland is the new name for the Olympic Council of Ireland, since 15 September 2018. The Irish Olympic Council was founded in 1920, while the Irish War of Independence was pitting the Irish Republic proclaimed by Sinn Féin against the Dublin Castle administration of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.  John J. Keane, who was the head of the athletics committee of the Gaelic Athletic Association, met Sinn Féin leaders Arthur Griffith and Michael Collins in Vaughan's Hotel, Parnell Square, in April to discuss the possibility of a separate Irish team at the 1920 Olympics in Antwerp. The founding Council members were mostly Irish republican or nationalist political leaders. Keane wrote to the Baron de Coubertin, who was sympathetic, but the Belgian organising committee deferred to the British Olympic Association (BOA), which took the unionist view that Irish competitors should be part of the British team. By August, Keane was proposing that a separate Irish delegation should march under the Union Jack, on the model of Finland at the 1912 Summer Olympics when part of the Russian Empire. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) decided to "suspend all decision until the moment when the Irish question would be solved politically". Keane applied again in April 1922, during the provisional administration that was preparing for the formal establishment of the Irish Free State that December. De Coubertin was worried that the Tailteann Games were intended to rival the Olympics, and the BOA's delegate was unsure of the political outlook in the buildup to the Irish Civil War. Keane allayed these worries such that the Irish Olympic Council was affiliated to the IOC on 3 June 1922.

Most sports affiliated to the Federation are all-island in scope. Two exceptions in 1922 were athletics and cycling, each of which had rival bodies; the prospect of Olympic competition precipitated their merging into a unified National Athletic and Cycling Association (NACA), which affiliated to the Council in 1924. The council has sent a team to all but one of the Summer Olympic Games since 1924. The 1936 Games were boycotted; this was the first Games after the IAAF's 1934 ruling on borders which restricted the NACA's jurisdiction to the Free State. In 1952, the Council changed its own name from "Irish Olympic Council" to "Olympic Council of Ireland" to reinforce its claim to represent the whole island of Ireland rather than merely the Republic. Its team competed as "Eire" in 1948 and "Republic of Ireland" in 1952 before reverting to its preferred name "Ireland" in 1956 after Lord Killanin secured the agreement of Avery Brundage. The OCI and BOA have an agreement that Northern Irish sportspeople may compete for either team.

The Olympic Federation of Ireland has sent teams to most Winter Olympic Games since 1992.

2016 Ticketing Controversy

On 5 August 2016, the day of the 2016 Summer Olympics opening ceremony, police in Rio de Janeiro arrested two people for attempted illegal resale of hundreds of tickets allocated to the OCI. One of the two was employed by THG Sports, which was the OCI's authorised ticket reseller (ATR) in 2012 but not 2016; the OCI denied any involvement. Shane Ross, the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, promised a "robust inquiry". Pro 10 Sports Management, the OCI's 2016 ATR, said the man arrested was working as their agent to distribute tickets which had been paid for legitimately. On 17 August, Pat Hickey, the OCI president, was arrested in Rio in connection with the investigation. The issue, together with the allocation of tickets for other Olympic events, was set for investigation by a non-statutory inquiry headed by retired High Court judge, Mr Justice Carroll Moran.

Operations
The OFI has a small staff under a Chief Executive, and is based at Olympic House in Howth, County Dublin.

Officials
The offices of President and IOC delegate are honorary, as required by the Olympic Charter.

Delegates at the IOC

Affiliated Organisations
While the Olympic Charter mandates that the area of jurisdiction of a NOC must coincide with the limits of the country in which it is established and has its headquarters, it does not require this for the national federations of particular sports affiliated to the NOC. Many bodies affiliated to the OCI are organised on an all-island basis, and have selected competitors from Northern Ireland for the Olympics.

The following organisations are affiliated, some of which are very small and share an address at "Sport HQ" in Park West business park:

Notes:

Baseball Ireland was formerly affiliated to the OCI, but is no longer listed since baseball was removed from the list of Olympic sports after 2008.
