Mourners fill streets of Pyongyang for Kim Jong Il's funeral
December 28, 2011 December 28, 2011 298
Kim Jong Un, the son of the late dictator, walks alongside the procession.
PYONGYANG – The funeral of the North Korean leader Kim Jong Il unfolded across the snow-laden streets of Pyongyang on Wednesday, a three-hour event that displayed the secretive regime's ability to choreograph elaborate state ceremonies, CNN reported. A North Korean state television broadcast of the services showed a tearful Kim Jong Un, the son and chosen successor of Kim Jong Il, trudging through the snow alongside the procession as it began at the Kumsusan Memorial Palace, where Kim Jong Il's body had been lying in state since his death earlier this month.
One black car carried on its roof a coffin draped in the flag of the nation's Worker's Party. Another transported a giant portrait of a smiling Kim. Senior officials accompanied the younger Kim, including Jang Song Taek, his uncle and a vice chairman of the National Defense Commission.
Soldiers stood with their heads bowed, their caps in hand. Their green uniforms contrasted starkly with the bright white snow as mournful music played. The long funeral cortege then sped up, weaving through the streets of the city past throngs of emotional mourners. In footage that the state television repeated several times, the mourners wailed and beat their chests, their hair damp from the falling snow. "That is our general," said one soldier interviewed by the station. "In this snow, we have to send him off and it's heart ripping."
The funeral procession, consisting of dozens of cars, went as far as Kim Il Sung Square, named after the founder of North Korea and father of Kim Jong Il, before returning to the palace. At that point, soldiers fired a 21-shot salute as Kim Jong Un and other officials stood with their heads bowed.
The reclusive nation had revealed no details ahead of time about the funeral of the elder Kim, who was revered as a godlike "dear leader" by his people. He died December 17 – reportedly of a heart attack – after 17 years of repressive rule.
The funeral Wednesday gave a prominent role to a third generation of the family: Kim Jong Un, the man designated the "great successor" by the nation's Worker's Party. Questions have been raised about Kim Jong Un's ability to take the reins of the communist nation, given his young age – he is thought to be in his late 20s – and relative inexperience. State news media have described the younger Kim as "Supreme leader" and "Sun of the 21st century," suggesting he is succeeding in rallying support within the regime's hierarchy.
Commemorations are expected to continue on Thursday, with a three-minute silence at noon local time, followed by trains and ships sounding horns. The national memorial service will then begin, the BBC said.

Urban Polo is distinguished from other codes of polo by the smaller dimensions of the field, larger ball size (as well as its unique density and material) and the fact it is commonly played in urban and city parks within close proximity of the public.
To protect players as well as the pubic, and to create a code of polo that increases spectator enjoyment, Urban Polo operates under its distinct rules.
(a) The suggested playing area should measure 140m by 60m.
(b) A 10m 'run-off' zone is recommended at either end of the field behind the goals, and a 7m 'safety' zone beside the side-boards.
(c) Surface of the playing field can be grass or dirt.

Health and Nutrition In the United States, nearly 1 in 5 children faces hunger in their life. We asked four families to share their stories.
It is a hard number to believe. In a country as wealthy and generous as ours, but it's true. Of course, it's not that we don't have enough food to go around. Effective programs for feeding hungry children exist. But not enough kids have reliable access to those programs.
Patrick lives with his grandmother in rural Tennessee. She works hard to make sure he has everything he needs, but her job doesn't pay that well, so sometimes they rely on food programs to help them get by. Because of where they live, the programs used to be hard to reach. But now that Patrick's school serves a free breakfast to every student as part of the regular school day, he's getting more of what he needs.
Chloe is age four, and her family struggles to make ends meet — especially in the summer, when school meals disappear. But thanks to a local program providing free meals to every kid when school is out, Chloe had the great summer that she deserved.
Bree'Anna and Brih'Leigh live on Blackfeet tribal lands in rural Montana. It's stunningly beautiful. Every morning they wake up to the dramatic Rocky Mountains rising up above their town, and their lives are steeped in the traditions of their community. But jobs and resources are scarce, and many families here live in deep poverty. Their parents rely on food programs to ensure their daughters have enough to eat.
Most parents struggle to instill a love of healthy foods in their children. That struggle can be even harder for parents with low incomes and limited resources. But Kyara learned to love healthy salads after she had one with apples and carrots at a summer meals program, and now she eats better than ever. And that will make her healthier and happier for years to come.

Q: Is there a "not equal" operator in Python? How would you say does not equal?
Like
if hi == hi:
    print "hi"
elif hi (does not equal) bye:
    print "no hi"

Is there something equivalent to == that means "not equal"?

A: Not equal  !=  (vs equal ==)
Are you asking about something like this?
answer = 'hi'

if answer == 'hi':     # equal
   print "hi"
elif answer != 'hi':   # not equal
   print "no hi"

This Python - Basic Operators chart might be helpful.

A: Seeing as everyone else has already listed most of the other ways to say not equal I will just add:
if not (1) == (1): # This will eval true then false
    # (ie: 1 == 1 is true but the opposite(not) is false)
    print "the world is ending" # This will only run on a if true
elif (1+1) != (2): #second if
    print "the world is ending"
    # This will only run if the first if is false and the second if is true
else: # this will only run if the if both if's are false
    print "you are good for another day"

in this case it is simple switching the check of positive == (true) to negative and vise versa...

A: Use !=. See comparison operators. For comparing object identities, you can use the keyword is and its negation is not.
e.g.
1 == 1 #  -> True
1 != 1 #  -> False
[] is [] #-> False (distinct objects)
a = b = []; a is b # -> True (same object)

A: There's the != (not equal) operator that returns True when two values differ, though be careful with the types because "1" != 1. This will always return True and "1" == 1 will always return False, since the types differ. Python is dynamically, but strongly typed, and other statically typed languages would complain about comparing different types.
There's also the else clause:
# This will always print either "hi" or "no hi" unless something unforeseen happens.
if hi == "hi":     # The variable hi is being compared to the string "hi", strings are immutable in Python, so you could use the 'is' operator.
    print "hi"     # If indeed it is the string "hi" then print "hi"
else:              # hi and "hi" are not the same
    print "no hi"

The is operator is the object identity operator used to check if two objects in fact are the same:
a = [1, 2]
b = [1, 2]
print a == b # This will print True since they have the same values
print a is b # This will print False since they are different objects.

A: You can use both != or <>.
However, note that != is preferred where <> is deprecated.

A: There are two operators in Python for the "not equal" condition -
a.) != If values of the two operands are not equal, then the condition becomes true.
    (a != b) is true.
b.) <> If values of the two operands are not equal, then the condition becomes true.
    (a <> b) is true. This is similar to the != operator.

A: You can use "is not" for "not equal" or "!=". Please see the example below:
a = 2
if a == 2:
   print("true")
else:
   print("false")

The above code will print "true" as a = 2 assigned before the "if" condition. Now please see the code below for "not equal"
a = 2
if a is not 3:
   print("not equal")
else:
   print("equal")

The above code will print "not equal" as a = 2 as assigned earlier.

A: You can use the != operator to check for inequality.
Moreover in Python 2 there was <> operator which used to do the same thing, but it has been deprecated in Python 3.

A: Use != or <>. Both stands for not equal.
The comparison operators <> and != are alternate spellings of the same operator. != is the preferred spelling; <> is obsolescent. (Reference: Python language reference)

Q: Числовой Enum в JAVA Уже есть готовый проект с абониментами. В зависимости от абонимента в нем варьируется кол-во посещаемых дней.
Есть на 10, 20, 30, 50 посещений. В базе данных и в классе это всё уже хранится как int.
Столкнулся с проблемой когда захотел заменить в классе значение поля кол-во дней вместо int на enum т.к. не могу создать его
public enum Days {
    10, 20, 30, 50
}

Подскажите, пожалуйста, как решить данную проблему

A: Если вам нужен именно enum, то можно например так:
public enum Days {
    DAYS_10(10),
    DAYS_20(20),
    DAYS_30(30),
    DAYS_50(50);

    public final int count;

    Days(int count) {
        this.count = count;
    }
}

И получить значение можно так:
Days.DAYS_30.count

UPD

как мне тоскать значения из бд когда там уже 10, 20, 30 лежит в таблице?

Ну например так:
Days days;
if (count == 10) days = Days.DAYS_10;
else if (count == 20) days = Days.DAYS_20;
else if (count == 30) days = Days.DAYS_30;
else days = Days.DAYS_50;

The following is a more accessble plain text extract of the PDF sample above, taken from our Wills and Trusts Notes. Due to the challenges of extracting text from PDFs, it will have odd formatting:
Wills and Trusts | 2010 1st March: Trusts: Three main players:
1. Settlor
2. Trustee
3. Beneficiaries Relationship between settlor and trustee:
- Contractual relationship
- Transfers legal ownership of property
- Trustee holds it for the benefit of the beneficiaries
- Settlor establishes terms on which trustee holds property
- Trust deed/instrument - need it when the trust is about land. Don't need any particular words, only needs to be in writing. Relationship between trustee and beneficiaries:
- Fiduciary relationship - relationship for benefit of beneficiary, with obligations and duties that attach
- Must act in best interests of the beneficiary
- Duty not to benefit from the trust (other than charging clauses)
- Trustee can be a beneficiary (one person can have all three roles). Can't be the sole beneficiary though, because you would only owe duties to yourself. The legal and beneficial ownership wouldn't be separated. Kennan v Spry, HC Aus:
- Spry QC, the author of "equitable remedies", tried to do unacceptable things with his trust
- He was the only settlor and the only trustee
- Initially there were four beneficiaries (wife and three kids)
- But the trust had been set up ten years before the wife existed!
There is growing unease about some kinds of family trusts, where the couple are trustees, settlors, and primary beneficiaries. The settlor sells the property to the trustees, and then forgives the debt over a period of years. To avoid gift duty (tax), you sell the property, then forgive the debt. Beneficiaries have rights - they can sue the trustees personally for mismanagement. They have some proprietary remedies, such as tracing. They also have some personal obligations and remedies, as well as the proprietary remedies. A third party involved has the bona fide purchaser for value without notice (good faith) defence. One of the most important powers that settlors frequently retain and exercise is the power to appoint and remove trustees. Purposes for Trusts:
? Protect from creditors/spouses/partners/IRD/asset-means testing
? Provide for others, e.g. vulnerable family members, education, successive interests, pension schemes
Wills and Trusts | 2010
? Manage businesses or organisations, e.g. farms, trading trusts, charities 3rd March: You have to have three certainties to create a valid trust:
1. Certainty that the settlor intended to create a trust
2. Certain of what the trust property is
3. Certainty of who and on what basis the beneficiaries are supposed to benefit Intention: Express Trusts are a manifestation of this intention. Implied Trusts/Trusts by Operation of Law:
- Resulting trusts:
1. Incomplete disposition of capital
2. Voluntary disposition
3. Presumed intention: i.e. that the property will go back to the settlor, or that the property is to be held at least in part for your benefit
- Constructive trusts:
1. Good conscience - Gillies v Keogh - Normally if you contribute to the value of something in money and time, a constructive trust will be imposed if the parties "reasonably expected" that the property would be shared. In this case, she made it clear that the property would be hers - there was no reasonable expectation.
2. Tracing - Once you trace property and identify it as yours, the court can impose a constructive trust.
- Statutory trusts:
1. Intestacy Rules - say who it will go to and whether the estate will be held on trust for others. Express Trusts: Intention to create trust must be certain. Expressed intent can be in writing (e.g. Pillsbury trust deed, or will), or can be oral, e.g. "I give you
$10,000 for the benefit of your son's education." Inferred intent can be from conduct and statement. E.g. Paul v Constance - "this money is ours". They weren't married, and the bank account was in his name. They had treated the money as theirs, not just his. The court found there was an express trust declared by Mr Constance. Re Burton: I give and bequeath all my money unto my wife... when she is finished with it, I desire that it will be divided equally between my two children. Is it an absolute gift? Or a life interest?
If it was an absolute gift she could do with it what she liked. "I desire" = expressing a wish, not imposing an obligation.
- Life interest?
Erwood v Maxstead 1979: Mother wrote to solicitor: "It is my wish that my sons Frederick and Robert Erwood shall be able to remain in the house at Waimea Rd for as long as they wish". 1983: Mother sold house to another son, Edward. 1987: House registered in his name
Wills and Trusts | 2010 2003: Edward dies, leaves house to Janet. Told Robert to vacate. Did the 1979 letter create a trust? If so, could Robert enforce it?
She said "wish", and "shall be able to". Stronger than "desire", but still not strong enough to create a trust. If there was a trust, would it be enforceable against Edward? He could argue bona fide purchaser for value without notice? Then Registration, under the LTA - even if there was a trust, if he wasn't fraudulent, registration gives him an indefeasible title. When Janet gets it she would get the indefeasbile title. The LTA may trump interests that other people may have had. Fraser v Walker: Mortgaged house without husband's permission, forged his signature, defaulted on the mortgage, property sold to Walker. Rodomskys were not guilty of fraud, but she was. Walkers acquired indefeasible title. Palmer v Simmonds 1854: "As to all the residue of my estate, I give and devise the same unto TH for his own use and benefit, as I have full confidence in him that if he should die without issue he will leave the bulk of my residuary estate to the said William..." "The bulk" = the greater part = unclear. Uncertainty of property. Void for lack of certainty of subject matter. "I have full confidence" would have been okay in 1954, but would no longer suffice today. If you are establishing a trust of land, you have to have it in writing, s25 PLA 2007. A trust created through a will will also need to be done in writing. The will must comply with the Wills Act. Property must get into the hands of the trustees. Land must be transferred through the LTA. Chattels are transferred through sale/gift - s18-24 SGA. Ownership passes when the parties intend it to pass, which doesn't necessarily occur on delivery. Gifts - Intention to give, intention to receive and delivery. Pennington v Wayne, "unconscionable to revoke", Milroy, "done everything the donor has to do to complete the gift." Perpetuity Rule: Trust can't continue indefinitely. There has to be a finite length of time. Perpetuities Act. 10th March: Guest Lecturer - David Fox. An express trust is rather like a contract. Operates in equity. Beneficiaries are not parties to the original contract. 'Freedom of trust' - Can define any interest or any duty. Trustee as fiduciary - not allowed to benefit. Can include a charging clause to contract around the general law. Need to read a trust deed to know what the particular trustees' duties are. The rules are different overseas. Purpose trust - can make different rules aply to your trust. Good enough if one trustee can hold
Wills and Trusts | 2010 another trustee accountable. How far can a settlor go before the court will say no?
The 'come off it test' Armitage v Nurse: General duty of care for the trustee (Speight). Prudent person rule. Paula alleges by fault of trustees, she lost out. Formal exemption clause in trust instrument, saying that they were not liable for negligence. Can they remove this duty?
Trustee has full licence to be negligent - settlor can exclude that duty of care. 'Minimum functionality' as a trust. The minimum duties necessary to give substance to the trust. Trustees need to have duties so as to have the meaningful position as non-beneficial owners. Morice v Bishop of Durham:
- Must be a beneficiary to supervise
- Must be under control of the court Leahy:
- "Irreducible core" of duties. e.g. Duty to account. Certainty Rules: Duties are owed by the trustee, but also certain basic rules that the settlor has to follow. If the settlor doesn't comply, the instrument will be void. Re Gulbenkian: Certainty of objects. "Class of potential objects sufficiently certain, so as to execute the trust." Basic test of functionality. A duty to prioritise/determine the objects of the trust. If your instructions are meaningless, you can't do anything. Bargain between settlor and trustee is a legally binding arrangement. If the deed isn't functional, you can't do much. Need to be clear.
- Certainty of intention
- Certainty of subject matter
- Certainty of object Hunter v Mors:
- 80/950 shares
- Court said it doesn't matter whether the settlor identified specific shares. All shares are the same. Third party aspect. What if 50 shares are sold to a third party, then the money is spent, and the person who sold goes bankrupt. Who's shares did he sell?
Court will imply a term that makes the problem better - minimum balance of 50 shares for the beneficiary. "Try harder" - court is intervening in private bargains. Constitutional function of the court. Only a court's function to interpret, oversee and enforce the bargain.
Wills and Trusts | 2010 15th March: Certainty of Objects: Trustees need to know who they are holding the property for, and how they are supposed to benefit. Those who want to benefit from the trust but not 'own property' want to make sure they don't have a vested interest or a contingent interest - only want to have a discretionary interest. Fixed Trust:
- No discretion for trustees
- Distribute to children - have to find out who the children are.
- Children obtain vested interest in the property before the property is distributed. They have benefical ownership - Creditors can claim it. Discretionary Trust:
- Trustee is to decide how to distribute between all the children, and/or the discretion can be as to which children will benefit and how they will benefit.
- In the first situation, they will have a beneficial interest in the property
- In the latter, they will not. Absolute Discretion:
- Trustees don't have to do anything
- They have to decide 'who counts as family'
- And then they can decide who gets how much
- The 'family' definition is too wide - could not be a valid trust Court doesn't tend to make trusts work if they are unclear - but some courts do try to salvage things. They may look at the instrument as a whole. May be clear from wider documents whether wide or narrow meaning was meant. Re Gulbenkian Settlements: Father settled the trust for maintenance and personal support on benefit of all or any one or more of the following: NG (Son), any wife, children and remoter issue of NG; and Any person(s) in who's house or apartments, or in who's company or under who's care or control N may be from time to time employed or residing... in such proportions and in such manner as the trustees in their absolute discretion. Can you ascertain who these people are going to be?
- Not really But you can ascertain remoter issue even if they don't yet exist. You don't know who the people will be in the second part?
- Held not void for uncertainty. Establishes a power to distribute income, not duties.
- They could decide not to do anything Court said because they have a power, need to establish whether a particular beneficiary qualifies or not. Don't need to establish a whole list. Test - 'Criterion' test. Can you say about any person with certainty who qualifies? Yes. Could show that they cared for, employed, or lived with NG.
- Trustees obligation in order for trust to function is to survey the potential beneficiaries at
Wills and Trusts | 2010 any given time.
- There is no duty to actually distribute the income. Discretion too wide?
- Still owe a trust - may not be entitled to own property, but can hold trustees to account.
- If they fail to consider or misapply the money to someone else. Duty to administer capital to people within the inside of the trust, not people outside.
- Have a property right which they can enforce - can trace property if misapplied by the trustees. Gulbenkian established that if you have a power to distribute, the criterion (certainty) test is used, and you don't need to draw up a complete list of beneficiaries. McPhail v Doulton:
- "Trustees shall apply" - Under an obligation to distribute.
- Obligation to act.
- Different category to Gulbenkian.
- Wanted to extend the Gulbenkian test to discretionary trusts. Difference between a mere power and a trust is that a power does not force them to act. HL in the end accepts that the Gulbenkian test should be applied to discretionary trusts for certainty of objects. Criterion test - must be certain that any given individual is in or out of the class of beneficiaries. Broadway Cottages:
- Said needed complete list of beneficiaries - court could only divide equally so would need a complete list. Discretionary Trusts:
- Trustee has duty to act
- Must survey wide range or potential beneficiaries
- Court will compel performance of duties
- Court will execute trust per settlor's intention Powers:
- Trustee has power to act
- Trustee's duty to survey range of beneficiaries but not as wide or comprehensive
- Court will not compel performance unless: Trustee exceeded powers, or possibly if they acted capriciously (no reasonable person would have acted in this way) e.g. Brackstone v Whitney:
- Plaintiff, Mr's B's costs of residential care exceeded her income from superannuation and her husband's estate.
- Wanted to compel the trustees to give more capital so there would be less dependence on the state.
- All of the income was to go to her, then after death the residue would go to the children. If the income is insufficient, the trustee may supplement the income with capital (power to invade the capital). This would occur at the expense of the residual beneficiaries, the children.
- Mrs B - has no particular needs, is very old. Trustees said no, because she is actually fine. Court said no. Provision leaves discretion entirely up to the trustees. Can't compel the trustees to give the money. How could you compel? Change the law. 17th March: Challenging Trusts: Trusts as protection against: creditors, relationship partners, the state. If something goes wrong, they can say that they don't own anything, because it's all in trust. Need a valid trust and want to have no property interest in the trust. Need the trust to be discretionary. Even though they have no property, but they are in control (beneficiaries, settlor, trustees) Structure is coming under closer scrutiny. Social Security Act 1964: Gives WINZ the right to assess whether an applicant has assets or income available to them above the limit. Assets-means testing. They don't look back more than five years. WINZ has the right to investigate whether or not they disposed of any assets. They are beginning to go back more than 5 years. If you genuinely no longer own it, then you are in trouble. You will be deemed to still own it. Creditors: s194 Insolvency Act, s348 PLA 2007, Common law. Relationship Partners: PRA, ss 44, 44C, 44F, 47. Common Law. Sham Trusts:
- Jurisdiction which has raised its head recently, because of the trusts that are around more often now.
- Not a genuine trust, looks like a sham. Sham trust - void, never intented to become a trust. Snook: Dictum cited every time. Acts done or documents executed intended to give the appearance of a different situation of rights and duties than what was intended to be created. All parties must have a common intention that the acts or documents are to be a sham. Trusts are slightly different. Establishment of the trust only depends on the settlor's intention. Official Assignee v Wilson and Clyma:
- Involved a person who was bankrupt - Mr Reynolds
- He had been bankrupt before, discharged from his first bankruptcy.
- Decided to buy a house, and so put it into trust. He was an entrepreneur in risky business.
- Went to lawyer, lawyer said to nominate persons as trustees to buy the house.
- Mr Reynolds nominated his defacto partner's mother, and the lawyer as trustees.
- The beneficiaries were the children.
- They all moved into the house, but with no lease agreement or anything from the trust - so it

Scania and Ericsson join forces
Scania and Ericsson announced their joint research efforts to accelerate the connectivity of commercial vehicles and infrastructure.
Both companies said they are convinced that advances in communications technologies and future deployments of 5G networks will enable improvements in the transport of people and cargo.
"We've been speaking about introducing vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications for quite some time but now it's really taking off," says Håkan Schildt, Director of Strategy and Business Development at Scania's Connected Services and Solutions business unit. "We now see greater prospects for reliable communications through mobile networks."
New developments in LTE and 5G standardization have created opportunities for dedicated vehicle-to-vehicle communications using the mobile network while minimizing risks of unpredictability and latency.
Scania has pioneered platooning concepts with truck and trailer combinations driving in close formation, thereby reducing air drag and fuel consumption. Legislation at present permits trucks to drive at a safe distance from each other using common in-vehicle features such as radar and cruise control. However, an even narrower distance between trucks – further reducing fuel consumption – requires vehicle-to-vehicle communications and interconnected control systems. Research by Ericsson and Scania has now shown that sufficiently reliable communications can be established using 4G, and future 5G, networks.
In a wider perspective, vehicle-to-infrastructure communications is an enabler for system-wide platooning in planning and organizing the formation and dissolution of platoons according to route and schedule. Trucks can thus join and leave platoons in an optimal manner.
"In view of the enormous benefits, we're convinced that vehicle-to-vehicle communications will be implemented by transport operators of all types," says Claes Herlitz, Head of Automotive at Ericsson. "Addressing the challenges posed by growing passenger and freight volumes, enhanced communications can contribute to greater logistics efficiency and thereby reduced environmental impact."

All INKL Review 2019: Is All INKL a Good Hosting?
All-Inkl is a high-quality web hosting company based in Saxony, Germany. They've been providing all-inclusive web hosting plans to customers since 2000.
All-Inkl is a popular German web hosting company that now serves over 1,800,000 websites. Based in Saxony, they first entered the market in 2000 and quickly emerged as a strong contender because of their fair price-to-performance ratio. All-Inkl's name is derived from the term "all-inclusive," and they strive to live up to their name with their resource-packed plans. With solid uptime, transparent pricing, and their dedicated customer support team, they're an excellent choice for individuals and business owners based in Europe.
Unfortunately, this basic plan doesn't come with any SSL certificates. This means that while it's definitely more than adequate for a dynamic WordPress website or a thriving professional webfront with a business blog, it's not ideal for e-commerce website owners.
That said, given that it's their entry-level plan, it was generous of them to offer up to three hosted domains — most other hosting providers would only allow one. Plus, they include free daily backups, which is definitely a must-have for those looking to set up a WordPress website.
Of course, going for this plan also affords you the validated SSL certificate missing from the starter plan, so you can set up an e-commerce website or process payment transactions securely.
All-Inkl also has an array of dedicated server and reseller hosting packages, though interestingly enough they don't offer VPS hosting. They also have a 99.9% uptime average.
One thing that was mildly disappointing is that their user interface feels rather dated and clunky to use. It's an in-house administration panel — not the industry-standard cPanel that most hosting providers use — and while it did allow me to manage my account well enough, it sometimes took a bit of digging to find what I wanted to adjust. Also, everything was in German, so this might pose a problem for users who don't speak the language.
Pricing is where All-Inkl excels. While not the cheapest at first glance, they do afford their customers quite a bit of value if you compare their packages with similar offerings from their competitors. They have no minimum contract period, which is good news for startups and individuals looking for the rare mix of flexibility and affordability. That said, if you choose to pay for a year in advance, you get the first three months of hosting at no charge – thereafter, the regular rates apply.
If you're not quite sure if All-Inkl is the right host for you, you can also opt for their one week free trial. This is a no-strings-attached account that affords you the features of All-Inkl's Premium shared hosting plan, but with fewer resources — namely, only 2500MB storage, five MySQL databases, five email accounts, and five Cron Jobs. You do get access to their customer administration panel and SSH access, though. You can upgrade to a paid plan at any time during the seven-day free trial.
The level of support that All-Inkl provides depends on the tier of the plan you've purchased from them: lower-tier plans have access to 24/7 email support, but only get telephone support during German business hours. At the next level up, you get 24/7 telephone support, and at the highest tier, you get priority support through a special telephone and email support channel.
All-Inkl is a solid and trustworthy hosting provider that will serve you well if you and your customer base are located in Germany. However, their user interface feels somewhat dated and could use an overhaul to deliver a better customer experience.
Wondering how All INKL stacks up against other Web Hosting companies? Enter any other Web Hosting company and we will give you a side-by-side comparison.

Established in 1969 and based in the beautiful Lyndhurst Hall in Hampstead, London, Air is a state-of-the-art recording complex with facilities for film scoring, album production, classical and orchestral work, post-production, audio for video, and live events. The facility has long been the studio of choice for artists and directors including Coldplay, Radiohead and Tim Burton.
Air handles the entire spectrum of on-site audio and post-production requirements including orchestral recording, casting, and surround sound mixing. Air provides a massive bank of categorized effects, and various ISDN capabilities including remote monitoring from any internal or external location, allowing developers and publisher instant cross-territory access and control.
Having most recently scored EA's Harry Potter: Prisoner of Azkaban and the Quidditch World Cup games, Air is already working with some of the industry's leading companies to offer a wide range of targeted services–from the staple diet of speech, sound effects and music creation and sourcing, to more innovative offerings such as a complete prototyping service for pre-production pitches.
With the graphical capability of the current and future generation game platforms rapidly approaching photorealism, and the proliferation of digital multichannel home entertainment systems, gamers are demanding increasing audio fidelity to complement the visual and gameplay complexity of modern titles.
Ed Bartlett, CEO of Hive Partners said, "Games have long been about more than just gameplay, consumers also want an entertainment experience that will match and eventually exceed the latest Hollywood blockbusters, all of which means our developers, publishers and platforms must continue to push the production values envelope." He continued, "Game audio is an often overlooked and increasingly important aspect of the development process, and we believe that with their combination of history, location, facilities and understanding of game development, Air Studios are simply the best."
Chris Nuttall of Air Studios added, "Becoming involved with Hive was an opportunity that we were greatly looking forward to and one that has so far exceeded all of our expectations." He concluded, "Along with Air's industry-leading facilities, our use of the best techniques from film and music alongside those that already exist in games means that we can provide a more efficient, flexible and creative environment to all of our clients."

Timothy Bolger
The New York State Capitol Building in Albany.
Republican medical marijuana activist Melissa Miller won a surprise victory over Democratic Long Beach city councilman Anthony Eramo in the race to fill an open New York State Assembly seat, results show.
Miller, a 52-year-old stay-at-home mom from Atlantic Beach and an advocate for children with special needs, won 47 percent of the vote in the 20th district to beat Eramo, 42, and 33-year-old Green Party candidate Joseph Naham, also of Long Beach, according to unofficial results tallied by the state Board of Elections.
On the North Shore of Nassau County, Democrat Anthony D'Urso, a 76-year-old former North Hempstead town councilman from Port Washington, won 46 percent of the vote to beat 25-year-old Michael Varvaro, a former legislative aide from Port Washington, in the race to replace outgoing state Assemb. Michelle Schimel (D-Great Neck) in the 16th district.
The other 20 state Assembly members that represent Long Island all won re-election—ensuring Democrats retained their supermajority in the 150-member chamber.
"I am proud that we have been able to grow our majority to 107 members and our conference remains the most diverse legislative body in the country, including 41 women," Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie (D-Bronx) said.
Deputy Assembly Speaker Earlene Hooper (D-Hempstead), 77, won her 15th term representing the 18th district by the largest margin of any local Assembly race with 80 percent of the vote over Cornelius Todd Smith, a 47-year-old banker and perennial Republican candidate from Lakeview.
Assemb. Fred Thiele Jr. (I-Sag Harbor), 63, won his 11th term representing the first district with 55 percent of the vote over Republican challenger Heather Collins, a 40-year-old elections clerk from East Quogue who sought a rematch from two years ago.
Assemb. Anthony Palumbo (R-New Suffolk), 46, won his third term representing the second district with 61 percent of the vote over Democratic challenger Michael Conroy, a 57-year-old union leader from Manorville.
Assemb.

Murray won his seat in a 2010 special election, was re-elected once, got unseated four years ago, and then recaptured his seat in a '14 rematch.
Assemb. Steven Englebright (D-Setauket), 71, won his 13th term representing the fourth district with 53 percent of the vote over Republican challenger Steven Weissbard, a 52-year-old attorney from Stony Brook.
Assemb. Al Graf (R-Holbrook), 56, won his fourth term representing the fifth district with 56 percent of the vote over Democratic challenger Deborah Slinkosky, a 60-year-old former Sachem school board member from Holbrook, and Libertarian challenger James Smith, a 25-year-old veteran and college student.
Assemb. Phil Ramos (D-Brentwood), a retired Suffolk County police detective who was named deputy Assembly majority leader last year, ran unopposed for his eighth term representing the sixth district.
Assemb. Andrew Garbarino (R-Sayville), 32, won his third term representing the seventh district with 60 percent of the vote over Democratic challenger Nicholas Gambini, a 22-year-old pizza delivery driver who is reportedly the youngest Assembly candidate in state history.
Assemb. Michael Fitzpatrick (R-St. James), 59, won his eighth term representing the eighth district with 63 percent of the vote over Democratic challenger Richard Macerello, a 64-year-old perennial candidate from Kings Park.

Freshman Assemb. Kimberly Jean-Pierre (D-Wyandanch), 32, won her second term representing the 11th district with 53 percent of the vote over Republican challenger Shawn Cullinane, the 63-year-old Lindenhurst village clerk-treasurer.
Assemb. Andrew Raia (R-East Northport), 48, won his eighth term representing the 12th district with 59 percent of the vote over Democratic challenger Spencer Rumsey, a 63-year-old Northport resident who is senior editor at the Long Island Press.
Assemb. Charles Lavine (D-Glen Cove), 67, won his sixth term representing the 13th district with 56 percent of the vote over Republican challenger Jeffrey Vitale, a 32-year-old Sea Cliff resident who is an Oyster Bay Town employee, and Green Party challenger Jeffrey Peress, a 44-year-old custodian from Glen Cove.

Assemb. Brian Curran (R-Lynbrook), 47, won his fourth term representing the 21st district with 51 percent of the vote over Democratic challenger Travis Bourgeois, a 31-year-old elections clerk from Merrick.

North Yorkshire care group and baker rise to COVID-19 challenge
A North Yorkshire care group has teamed up with a local baker to provide each of its staff with a hamper of food as a reward for their hard work during the coronavirus pandemic.
Saint Cecilia's Care Group called in Scarborough bakery Cooplands to create 160 hampers for each of its staff, who have been caring for older and vulnerable people throughout COVID-19.
Managing director Mike Padgham, said: "We are delighted to be working with local baker Cooplands to provide this reward for our hard-working team.
"This has been the toughest, most challenging period for any care provider to go through and we are truly proud of our staff's efforts throughout, they have been magnificent."
The delivery of a hamper to each member of staff follows on from the company's decision to give each of its staff a COVID-19 pay bonus.
Belinda Youngs, CEO of Cooplands, said: "We were very pleased to help Saint Cecilia's when they called to say they were looking to supply their staff with food hampers.
"It is wonderful that they are supporting a local baker in this way as we all have to work together during these tough times.

Q: Introduction to programming using SML exercise 1.3 I am currently working through the Introduction to programming using SML book released back in 1999. I would like your help on how to declare a recursive function for exercise 1.3, which I have been stuck on for some time now.
1.3: Declare a recursive function f: int -> int, where
f(ᶯ) = 1 + 2 + ... + (ᶯ - 1) + ᶯ for ᶯ ≥ 0
Hint: Use two clauses with 0 and ᶯ as argument patterns. State the recursion formula corresponding to the declaration.
If anyone can provide some guidance on this that would be great.

A: More literal hint:
The solution is supposed to look like this:
fun sum 0 = ... something ...
  | sum n = ... something else ...

You'll need to figure out

*

*What is sum 0?

*What information do you need in order to be able to calculate sum n?

If you're stuck, write down the calculation of f(1), f(2), f(3), and f(4) on a piece of paper and see if you can spot a pattern.

Pot and driving just a really bad idea
Radical B.C. classic voted one of top 10 customs in 1963
Car seats have an expiry date
Roadside tests: They exist for alcohol and a B.C. company is developing a cannabis breathalyzer
by Blair Qualey	 | August 22, 2014
MediJean cannabis plant care technician Misad Shazi sprays water on marijuana plants growing at the medical marijuana facility in Richmond, B.C., on Friday March 21, 2014. The company currently has a license from Health Canada to grow marijuana for research and development purposes.
Marijuana is a hot topic in British Columbia and across North America these days, especially since the Canadian government recently changed the rules on who can produce and distribute the controversial plant and some U.S. states have decriminalized it.
Whether or not you're a pot user, or agree with the rules around how it's bought and sold, there are implications for pot use on driving activity.
Marijuana use can affect driving ability. Using it can impair your judgment, co-ordination and concentration behind the wheel, and slow your reaction time. That can lead to accidents, which are a threat to everyone on the road.
The affects of marijuana are important to note for all users, including those who take it to treat major illnesses. Pot users should heed the same warnings that come with the purchase of a number prescription and over-the-counter medications, which includes not operating heavy machinery, which for most means motorized vehicles.
While studies have shown that driving drunk is more dangerous than driving stoned, any type of impaired driving is dangerous. I hope and expect that most people would agree that if you drive drunk or stoned that you have a greater risk of being injured, or injuring someone else.
Unfortunately, police don't have the same technology and resources to detect people driving stoned, as they do now for those driving drunk. However, the times appear to be changing as marijuana becomes more accepted in society.
For instance, I wasn't surprised to hear recently that a B.C. technology company, called Cannabix Breathalyzer, is developing what it believes will be the first commercial pot breathalyzer.
The hand-held device, developed by a former RCMP officer, promises to be able detect whether a driver has used marijuana within two to three hours of getting behind the wheel. This is key since it's that time frame when pot has its strongest affect on a user, according to the Canadian Public Health Association (CPHA).
The CPHA says a driver who is high reacts slower to sudden events, such as a car slamming on the brakes in front of them, and can have a reduced or "drifting" attention span, which means they're not concentrating enough on driving.
Pot use can also cause a driver to focus too much on one thing, such as the tail lights in front of them, and not enough on the cyclist beside them. The drug can also change a driver's sense of time
and distance "making it harder to judge distances while driving," the CPHA notes.
Whether you're against marijuana use, or a strong proponent, I think both camps can agree that getting high and then slipping behind the wheel is a bad idea.
We all want to feel safe driving along our province's roads and highways. Be smart and stay safe.

autobiography raf world war 2
The Independent once described Roald Dahl as "one of the greatest storytellers for children of the 20th century". Somehow, I don't think that this collection of stories, War, was on the reporter's mind when he wrote that. This one definitely not for the children; it is very much one for the grown-ups and is all the more punchy for being biographical.
The book consists of a collection of his stories that were based on his wartime experiences. It includes the autobiographical description of Dahl's early flying days, Going Solo, which was first published in 1986 four years before his death and then seven of his short stories, all published in 1944-5, with the exception of The Soldier, which was published in 1953.
Going Solo is a pretty stark description of Dahl's early wartime experiences. It starts in Africa where he was made a lieutenant in the King's African Rifles and then his transfer to the RAF, his training to be a pilot and then his experiences in the Western Desert and Greece. The latter two areas brilliantly capture the difficulties facing both the RAF and individual pilots and, at times, he was lucky to be alive and he knew it. Being given the wrong location in the Western Desert to land resulted in a near-fatal crash and he also survived a ferocious melee over Athens harbour which killed two RAF aces, the Irishman 'Timber' Woods and the South African 'Pat' Pattle (probably the RAF's highest-scoring ace of World War II). Dahl is a bluntly honest writer and his embarrassment at showing that he is afraid is readily apparent.
The short stories are a mixed bag; they're all good but some are markedly better than the others. In their own way, each one is dark (which is perhaps to be expected from Roald Dahl) but each shows it in a different way. By way of example, Only This captures a woman's fear for her son, a pilot, They Shall Not Grow Old describes a man losing his fear of death and Someone Like You shows the impact of the war on individual pilots and their inability to move away from it. You can see the autobiographical elements in some of these stories (especially having just read Going Solo a few pages before) and this makes them all the better.
War is a great book and part of a series of eight Roald Dahl anthologies including Lust, Madness and Fear. Based on War, I will definitely be picking up the others and I recommend the book to everyone.

If you're an online retailer that advertises with Google Shopping, or wants to advertise with Google Shopping, you've probably already heard of working with Google CSS Partners. Maybe you've already gotten some offers or promises, but you don't know where to start. No worries, in this blog we'll tell you all about it and even give you some tips on how to embark on this Google CSS journey in a quick and easy way.
As of 2017, vendors can also appear in the Google Shopping search results by registering at a comparison site that is approved as a Google CSS Partner. The Google CSS Partner program is especially for Comparison Shopping Services (comparison sites) and vendors that work with such comparison sites.
On the internet, you're overwhelmed by blogs and articles when searching for the Google CSS Partner program. These search results include a lot of stories about why Google invented this program and why you should start with it "RIGHT NOW", or blogs that are written by companies who are a Google CSS Partner themselves. At Channable, we're striving to be neutral in this matter, so read on if you're just interested in the Google CSS Partner program and want to know how to get started.
Why should I work with a Google CSS Partner?
You can rely on the expertise of the Google CSS Partners.
Your ads will be shown in the general search results pages of Google Shopping, in between the 'regular' Google Shopping ads.
Advertisements delivered by a Google CSS Partner are shown the same as all other Google Shopping ads. However, instead of 'By Google' under the advertisement, you'll now see 'By + the name of the Google CSS Partner". A more detailed overview of the ad can be found under the 'Shopping' tab in Google.
How do I choose the right Google CSS Partner?
The most important thing is that you work with an official partner that fits your marketing goals and is specialized in the products (e.g. apparel or electronics) you want to advertise. Next to that, make sure you know if the Google CSS Partner supports all your products, and if they charge an additional CPC and/or CPS.
In addition to business models and pricing, there can be many differences between Google CSS Partners including (cancellation) terms, active countries and additional agency services as many CSS Partners are part of a marketing agency.
How do I start advertising on Google Shopping with a Google CSS Partner?
Once you have chosen a CSS Partner that fits you, starting is quite easy. You just need to confirm in your Merchant Center that it can change its association from Google to the CSS Partner of your choice and then Google will do the rest.
Channable already supports connections to a few Google CSS Partners in the tool, and setting up the feed works the same as setting up a Google Shopping feed. Please contact us if you need more information or need help with setting up a feed.
