Coalition SOF
Islamic State Overruns Nigerian Base, Thousands Forced to Flee
by Steve Balestrieri Jan 17, 2021
On Friday, January 15, militants from the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) attacked the town of Marte in the Lake Chad region of Borno State in northeastern Nigeria. The militants were able to overrun the Nigerian base on-site. The attack forced thousands of residents out of their homes and off their lands.
The town, 80 miles from the regional capital Maiduguri, was once considered the breadbasket of the Lake Chad region.
"The priority now is to reclaim the base from the terrorists and an operation is underway," said a military official who spoke with AFP news on Saturday.
The Nigerian army released a statement saying that troops "tactically withdrew" to defend against an attack outside Marte. It added that troops "effectively destroyed" seven gun trucks and "decimated" an unconfirmed number of attackers.
ISIS acknowledged responsibility for the attack in a statement on its own Amaq news service. It claimed to have killed seven and captured one person during the assault on the Nigerian base and that its fighters had seized weapons, ammunition, and six vehicles, as well as burned down the army barracks.
As of Saturday night, the Nigerian base at Marte was still under the control of ISIS.
Just a week ago, ISIS had attacked Marte but was repulsed. It regrouped and returned to assault the town with added reinforcements.
The second attack was seen as payback for last week's failed assault and for the Nigerian army troops recently overrunning ISWAP's second-largest camp in Talala village.
Since being founded in 2002, ISWAP, formerly known as Boko Haram, expressed purpose has been to "purify Nigeria." On March 7, 2015, Boko Haram's leader Abubakar Shekau pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, rebranding the terrorist organization Islamic State in West Africa (ISWAP). A year later, he stated that, "[the group's] mission is to establish an Islamic caliphate in Nigeria."
After being pushed out of nearly all of its territory in 2015, ISWAP took advantage of the poverty caused by climate change and has been making a comeback in the rural areas. It is now in control of four of the 10 zones in Borno State.
ISWAP maintains camps on islands in Lake Chad, a dangerous region where Nigeria, Niger, Cameroon, and Chad meet. The area around Lake Chad is known to be the group's stronghold.
ISWAP has focused on attacking state security forces and bases and the civilians that support them, whereas as Boko Haram most of the terrorist organization's attacks were against civilians.
Since the current insurgency erupted in 2009, the terrorists have killed 39,000 people and displaced 2.3 million. The Nigerian military has moved populations from rural to fortified areas around military bases in order to protect them. Yet, this has allowed the Islamic insurgents to regain control of many of the rural regions that they had lost.
The violence has spread into neighboring Niger, Chad, and Cameroon resulting in the formation of a regional military coalition to counter the terrorist group.
Nevertheless, the Nigerian government has focused too much on the military side of the equation and not enough on exerting political oversight to curb its military's heavy-handedness.

WHY BOXING IS A SPORTS FANS DREAM
December 28, 2013 By Michael Bailey Leave a Comment
By Michael Bailey
What makes boxing such a popular sport? Yes too many blows to the head can cause brain damage and that is a scientific fact, but boxing still has millions of fans around the world. Do us fans ever sit back and wonder to ourselves why we enjoy watching and taking part in the 'sweet science' or the 'noble art'? I find it very peculiar how anybody couldn't enjoy boxing as it is surely one of the most exciting sports. Muhammad Ali vs Joe Frazier in the 'Thriller in Manilla', with its constant changing in who is in charge of the bout changed.
'Marvelous' Marvin Hagler vs Thomas Hearns: Three rounds of lightning fast action with both men swapping blows in the blink of an eye. Jack Dempsey vs Luis Angel Firpo: The 'Manassa Mauler' being punched out of the ring only to come back while 56,000 fans roared on in the modern version of an Ancient Rome Colosseum battle. These three bouts are only an extremely relative few bouts that are heart pumping, exciting bouts that has all the action that any other sport can only wish to get close to.
Along with the above exciting bouts, what about the wonderful characters of boxing: Tiger Flowers with his pet Lion, Archie Moore and his special Aboriginal diet, Tony Galento with his lovely version of the English language. These boxers sound like characters from a comedy movie, yet their larger than life personalities are alive in these men who added numerous newspaper column inches to reporters. If you look in any history of boxing books, larger than life characters bounce of every single page.
Boxing also has the habit of being ahead of the worlds societies when it comes to a number of pressing issues. Daniel Mendoza rose to fight for the Bare-Knuckle championship of England at a time when people who adhered to the Jewish faith weren't even recognized as citizens in even the most liberal of countries. Jack Johnson and Jersey Joe Walcott became world champions at a time of immense prejudice against black citizens of most countries. Even though woman boxers are still much ignored in boxing on account of smaller purses and advertising than their male counterparts, Barbara Enlistment still became a boxer in the 1950's, an era when females were given much less rights than men.
Despite boxing no longer able to be king of the sports pages on account of national past times like Association and US Football, Baseball and even Cricket, the 'Sweet Science' will always be a popular spectator and watched sport. Despite some people saying that no generation will ever come close to the golden eras of the 1950s-70s, boxing is not on its knees as numerous sell out shows will a test to. Wladimir Klitschko, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao each draw massive crowds just like the forefathers Mike Tyson, Sugar Ray Robinson and Jack Dempsey did in their respective errors.
The next time you hear somebody or read somewhere that boxing is a dying sport waiting for a funeral, then remind yourself that all other sports can only wish to have the pure breakneck excitement that boxing has.

Betting on Season Win Totals
Online sports betting is not yet active in Florida. This page will be updated with the latest promos, news and odds once Florida sportsbooks launch.
Betting on team win totals is a popular futures option across all the major North American sports. These are bets where you try to predict if a team will win more or fewer games than the line that a sportsbook has set. It's also something that appeals to more experienced bettors because a few educated picks can result in a large profit.
While the various leagues will play different numbers of games, the premise remains the same. The NFL has the shortest season with only 17 regular-season games, MLB has 162 games, and the NBA falls in the middle with 82 games. Despite the varying schedules, betting on season win totals is popular in all of these leagues.
This guide will cover key points about betting on season win totals in those three sports. One of the great things about this market is that once you understand the premise, you can extrapolate the ideas to any other league that offers the same betting market.
Win totals odds
Understanding season win totals
Whenever the lines come out for season win totals, it's a big day in the sports betting community. Sportsbooks build each line by looking at how a team performed in the past and any changes it has made going into the season, and building predictive models to give an outlook on the upcoming season.
If a team's win total line is a round number, and its wins land exactly on that line, it's a push. If you made a bet, the sportsbook will return your wager to you. If the line ends in a .5 — for example, an NFL team has a line at 7.5 wins — then it's impossible to push as the team's total wins must land above or below that number.
One important thing to do before you place your sports bet is to check your sportsbook's rules on what makes the bet eligible. For most sportsbooks, the entire season needs to take place for a bet to be valid. For example, any bets on seasons shortened by COVID-19 would have been void.
Even if your bet has already succeeded, most live and online sportsbooks need the season to play out in its entirety before they acknowledge bets and pay them out. Thus, even if you had bet on a team to go over a certain number of wins and it did so, if the league suspended or altered the season due to an event like COVID-19, you would not win the bet. While this can be an unfortunate reality if you would have won your bet, it can also be a good thing if your bet was going to lose.
Win totals trends over the last 10 years
When betting on season win totals, it can be a useful exercise to look at the trends over the past 10 years and get an idea of which data can help us predict winners. Because each league has some distinct characteristics, we'll look at them individually.
NFL trends
The dominance of Tom Brady over the past era of football points to a trend that might seem obvious to some. The quarterback position is the most important across all sports, and having a star there means that a team likely has a greater chance of success. Thus, betting on football teams with talented quarterbacks can give you a high floor for over bets.
The shorter schedule of the NFL betting season also emphasizes the strength of a team's opponents. Teams that play in relatively weak divisions will have multiple games every year that are relatively easy. If a team has more than one rebuilding team in its division, that's a huge benefit to consider when betting on NFL season win totals.
MLB trends
With bullpens seemingly playing an ever-more-prominent role, it makes sense to pay increased attention to a team's bullpen when trying to figure its overall strength.
Additionally, with baseball's devotion to analytics, numerous metrics will attempt to account for luck and other extraordinary factors. Looking for teams that were unlucky last season but have strong metrics is usually a good indicator of a potential bounce-back. With sportsbooks making use of analytics, you might as well, too for betting on the MLB.
NBA trends
The past decade in the NBA has been one defined by player empowerment and super teams. There are numerous examples of multiple star players joining forces in one city. While these teams always have lots of hype, that doesn't mean they'll always live up to expectations when betting on NBA games.
In addition, many star players will often take some regular-season games off. Overall, the regular season has been devalued and teams will accept more losses in return for more energy come playoff time. Beware of teams that have super high lines when deciding your NBA win totals bet.
Analytic trends
Analytics have become increasingly influential across all sports. These numbers have helped both bettors and sportsbooks get a better idea of how the upcoming season will go. Static sports such as baseball have seen the quickest analytical revolution, but it's influencing all sports to some degree.
While the analytics may be less refined in sports such as basketball, they are also less widely used, which could be an advantage for a savvy bettor. Do some research online and look for analytics that could help give you an advantage.
Tips for betting on season win totals
One of the first tips that many people share for betting on season win totals is that there is much more that can go wrong than can go right for many sports teams. Events such as injuries, bad chemistry or a change in coaching or management can completely alter a team's season and hurt its record. These things happen often and will derail a few teams every year.
Things going perfectly for a team is much rarer. Thus, betting on the under can often be an interesting and potentially sensible pick. There's a long list of sports teams that had plenty of hype heading into a season and then imploded. The list of teams that vastly overachieved is much smaller.
Another tip for betting on season win totals is to look at teams that have had major changes since the previous season. For example, a team might've changed its coach, signed a big free agent or had players returning from injury. Teams that have experienced major changes will be harder for the sportsbooks to judge. Thus, the sports lines that the books release for these teams can be weaker and more easily exploitable. However, these are also more difficult for bettors to judge for the same reason.
Are shorter or longer seasons better?
While different bettors will give you different answers based on their preferences, there are some pros and cons with each schedule format.
A shorter season, such as the 17 games that the NFL plays, ensures that the players bring their all every week. There's no such thing as a "letdown game" or a "schedule loss" when you are in the NFL. Playing only once a week means that every team is focused and prepared for every matchup.
On the other hand, the longer seasons for baseball and basketball will have games where one team is at a disadvantage because of fatigue or travel, for instance. This can lead to a team losing a game that it might win in other circumstances, negatively impacting your ability to predict a team's overall performance.
Keeping that in mind, the longer schedule does offer one large advantage to bettors — in a shorter season, variance is much more prevalent. A couple of freak plays can greatly affect the final record of an NFL team. However, for a baseball team, a few losses on unlucky plays will be a smaller part of that team's overall record.
Therefore, betting on the longer seasons can give you a better chance of getting an accurate representation of a team's strength, which can make betting on season win totals easier.
When should you bet on season win totals?
Similarly to the question above, there's no definite answer as to when you should place a bet on total wins. Like most betting markets, the win totals betting lines will become sharper over time as more information becomes available. This will make value tougher to find, but also help you out as you will have more evidence on which to base your picks.
One of the largest considerations when deciding timing on a win total bet is the popularity of your choice. If the public decides to hammer the over for a certain team, then you will see the odds or that line change.
Thus, if you're going to bet on a selection that you think will be popular, factor the potential movement into when you want to bet, depending on if you will place an over or under bet. If you think that your selection will be going against the public, waiting to bet can help you get a better deal.
As far as popular picks, start by looking at teams with large fanbases. For instance, the Dallas Cowboys, Los Angeles Lakers and New York Yankees will always have fans who are willing to bet on them doing well. Another way to check if your bet is going to be popular is to do research online and see the level of chatter about your pick. A high volume of mentions on social media could mean that the line might swing away from you.
The last consideration for bettors is that the earlier you bet, the greater the chance that an injury or other unforeseen event derails you pick. If you bet on a team to go over its line and it suffers a string of season-ending injuries, waiting would have helped you avoid that issue.
When do bets on win totals pay out?
Sportsbooks pay out all futures bets after the season. Sportsbooks will wait until all the games are over before they grade the bets, as they do not want to pay out bets too early. Most sportsbooks will wait for every team to play all of its games, even if the team that you bet on has already finished its season.
Therefore, you will need to wait before seeing any returns on your futures bets like season over/under win totals. On the upside, this is a bet that can provide excitement over a long period and allow you to follow the ups and downs that any sports season brings.
Other futures bets
While win totals are a popular futures betting option, many other futures are also extremely common. Futures bets can offer strong returns because of the difficulty of predicting events so far into the future. Here are some additional popular futures bets that can be found at top sportsbooks, such as Hard Rock Sportsbook, Caesars, DraftKings Sportsbook FL, and BetMGM Sportsbook in Florida:
Major individual awards: Examples include betting on the MVP in different leagues, the Rookie of the Year or other awards on that same level. You can also find specific odds for players to win awards, such as Jimmy Butler's odds to win MVP, etc.
Team to make the playoffs: Similar to season win totals, except this time you're betting on whether a specific team will make the playoffs. Depending on the sport, the varying number of playoff spots changes the risk profile for this bet.
Team to win a championship: Winning the championship is the goal of any sports team, and for sports bettors, this can be the most common futures bet. Picking the championship team from the entire pool isn't easy, but the rewards for correctly picking one of the longer shots can be large.


The tool offers a drag-and-drop interface for making HTML5-based mobile apps.
Oracle has launched a new tool aimed at helping non-programmers create apps. Called BI Mobile App Designer, the tool offers an intuitive interface designed to allow business professionals to create HTML5-based cross-platform business intelligence apps.
However, Forrester's Boris Evelson cautioned that the mobile development product may not be as user-friendly as the company claims. "The self-service' term has many interpretations, it's not just yes or no," Evelson wrote. "There are many shades of gray."
The BI App Designer is included in Oracle's Business Intelligence Foundation Suite (which sells for $300,000 per processor), as well as Oracle BI Enterprise Edition.

in fact it print out 8 that is right since it can be shown that from the starting state
[1,3,5,5,9] we can add 2 to all but the 2nd and get [3, 3, 7, 7, 11]
then we can add two times 2 (4) to all but the 3rd and get [7, 7, 7, 11, 15]
then we can add two times 2 (4) to all but the 4th and get [11, 11, 11, 11, 19]
and finally add 1 time 5, one time 2 and one time 1 (8) to all but the last one [19, 19, 19, 19, 19]
summing app these operations we get:
1 +2 +2 +3 = 8
However: I can't see why it doesn't work for the HackerRank tests

A: Let me suggest a problem reduction.  First of all, let's parametrize the three choices into one:

Choose one colleague; give N chocolates to every other colleague,
  for N in {1, 2, 5}.

Now, for the reduction:

Choose one colleague; give N chocolates to every other colleague,
  for N in {1, 2, 5}.  Now, everyone eats exactly N chocolates.

Which converts to

Take N chocolates from any one colleague; for N in {1, 2, 5}. Negative totals are allowed.

Memoizing here is pretty easy: it's the coin change problem with coins of 5, 2, 1 units.
You have a list Q of chocolate quantities.

*

*task: find the fewest number of transactions to give everyone the same quantity.

*Sub-task: find K to minimize quantity of coins needed over the values {Q[i] - K}

Observation: with the given denominations, making minimal change is trivial: use 5 to exhaustion, then 2 to exhaustion, then a 1 if needed.
Lemma: if m is the smallest value in Q, K will be in the range [m-4, m]
ALGORITHM

*

*Find m, the minimum value of Q

*For each value of K in [m-4, m]

*

*For each element of Q, compute the coin-change count for Q - K.

*sum those counts

You now have five sums; the minimum of those five is your answer.

A: I think I have now a clear understanding of the problem and I will try to write it down in the easiest possible (to me) way.
As mentioned by @Prune adding to all but the ith elements means substracting from the ith.
Also consider that the point here is to bring all the individuals to the same value.
Now if we sort the elements in an ascending way we may want to find the minimum number of steps (subtracting 1,2,5) to take each individual to the value of the first one (the minimum possible).
However this sometimes lead tu a sub-optimal solution. Let me make some example:
if we start from [1 3 6] we can subtract 2 from the second element and go to [1 1 6] then we can subtract 5 to the third and go to [1 1 1]. In this case the solution is 2 and it is right.
However in this case [1 5 5] we need to subtract 2 times 2 from the second and from the third element in order to have [1 1 1]. In this case the solution would be 4 steps. But it is not the minimum possible.
The minimum possible is actually to remove 1 from the first element and go to [0 5 5] then to remove 5 from the second and from the third elements for a total of 3 steps. Which is the right one.
This is because we need one step to subtract 5 but we need two steps to remove 3 and 4 choccolates.
So the idea here is that we might need to remove 'something' from the ninimum element (values[0]) in order to maximize the number of elements in the list that are distant a multiple of five from it.
How much is this 'something'? we do not know so we need to evaluate all the possibilities with values[0]= values[0], values[0]=values[0]-1, values[0]=values[0]-2, values[0]=values[0]-3, values[0]=values[0]-4.
we only need to remove from 0 to 4 because we will certainly find a 5 multiplier.
consider for instance [1 9 9] if we don't subtract anything to the first element we need to subtract 1,2,5 (8) from the second and the third which means 6 steps. If we try with values[0]=values[0]-1 we have [0 9 9] which means subtracting 2,2,5 (9) from the second and from the third which, again, means 6 steps plus 1 (the subtraction from the first), so 7 steps.
However if we try with values[0]=values[0]-2 we have [-1 9 9]. In this case we just need to subtract 2 times 5 (10) from the second and the third elements to have [-1 -1 -1]. This means 4 steps plus one (the first -2 subtraction) so 5 steps which is the best possible solution.

Soon after a student begins attending karate classes at Millennium Martial Arts habits begin forming that we refer to as "muscle memory." Less thought has to be put into every hand position, each stance, every move. The "flinch response" begins to react in a more meaningful way to put the student into a protective posture. The Japanese term for this is mushin or "no mind" and is developed through attendance and practice. This state of response is important to the development of the martial artist much as the ability for an artist's hands to work their tools, or a musician to play their instrument with fluidity.
The key ingredients to success in the martial arts are attendance and repetitive practice. The ability to apply techniques properly comes from many trials and errors, working with people of different sizes and shapes, those that are bigger and smaller, and having these techniques performed on you as well. Once learned, the true martial artist continues on a lifelong quest to seek perfection in their techniques, kata and its associated bunkai or "understanding." Karate, like most other arts is "perishable" in that it will become less fluid and naturally responsive if attendance and/or practice wanes.
It is with this in mind that Millennium Martial Arts developed our schedule and membership plans to provide students with many classes they can attend each week without having to commit up front to a certain group of days, or a limited number. Attending more classes per week will not cost you more on our unlimited membership plans. Quite the contrary, your membership will be more valuable since your cost per class will go down…but far more importantly to us, our students will be more successful. They will be better adjusted to their material, will develop stronger relationships with their instructors and fellow students and consider the dojo an important place – the home of their martial arts family.

The Vinyl Pressing Problem
Eduardo 21 January 2023 00:43 #1
I keep reading over the years how there's huge delays in getting stuff pressed up for vinyl. I believe this is often caused by the majors putting in bulk orders of 'big' records, Adele and the like.
I wondered if anyone has ever looked into what it would cost to set up a vinyl press somewhere in the UK?
I've no idea what it would cost to set up, or to run - or whether it would be profitable. So I'd be interested if anyone has ever looked into it or has any experience in the field.
It'd be great to have one just for independents somewhere if it doesn't already exist.
hans 21 January 2023 05:35 #2
I think some of the bottleneck issues have eased. MPO put on a new line and are taking back some of their old customers, and maybe even accepting new ones?
But regarding setting up a pressing plant, this video from Electronic Beats has some relevance.
AndyM 21 January 2023 09:31 #3
This is a really interesting read:
Did the Music Business Just Kill the Vinyl Revival? (substack.com)
Crazy stat that only 50% of people who now buy records own a record player!
Nice one Hans this has all the info I was looking for.
I wasn't expecting it to cost 1m Euros to set up though, that's the end of my retirement plan!
That's nuts, but not a shock from the major labels. Too bloated and lazy to make the effort, same as with A&R.
There was a guy here in Adelaide who bought a lathe and claimed he was starting a pressing plant. He got AU$250k in funding from the state govt. but 6 years later nothing seems to have come of it… I think the gear is up for sale now. Make him an offer, get some funding, and the cycle continues!
How much is it Hans?!
I'm in Singapore at the minute, but probably going to end up in Spain or if I'm not careful, back in the UK…
Actually not sure I'm sorry. A mate told me it was for sale and I'm assuming he came across it in a facebook group of some kind. I don't do FB, and I can't seem to find any listings for it via a bog-standard googling. The project was called Roundabout Records if that's any use…
I did find this though: Record Pressing Plant Start up Costs - The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls
Rodney-Bennett 25 January 2023 14:56 #9
I thought the main thing making vinyl pressing so slow these days was the lack of facilities to cast the metal stampers from the lacquer masters. There's plenty of mastering studios with lathes to do the cutting.
Don't The Vinyl Factory in London have their own press?
I also remember reading about a pressing plant in Denmark that had the first new presses made in decades. Possibly even using some more efficient system for it .
deepconcentration 25 January 2023 16:43 #10
in the late 90's there was an opportunity to buy a lot of equipment from a vinyl pressing plant here in the states. I remember doing some back-of-the-napkin math on it and deciding that standing up a manufacturing facility for nearly any other type of product would be cheaper.
when raw materials, lubricants, water sourcing, power, space and shipping facilities were all factored in, it felt like an impossibility to break even. maybe it's different now - but at the time, you'd have to have any failed parts custom machined and due to the age of these components, you'd have a lot of failed parts. any part failure would basically shut down production. oh and you'd either have to get up to speed real quick or spend a good amount of money hiring a shop boss with a lot of experience.
that's not to say it couldn't be done, but me and my group of goofball friends were not the people to do it.
GrimsbyRiviera 25 January 2023 22:31 #11
This piece is real good. These guys had the same that you crazy dreamers have had but they seem to be making it work. The demand is certainly there, whether it's profitable is another matter.
the Guardian – 1 Jan 23
Eduardo 26 January 2023 02:57 #12
This is great Bill, well spotted. If I ever explore this further, they sound like they might be good people to speak to.
My idea was to make it only for independent / small labels if I ever get in a position to get it going.
Here's another crazy idea. I've been convinced for the last 20+ years that a revival of the 7" single is possible. Something tangible that kids can spend their pocket money on. I think it could revive the pop charts as well.
Probably for a different thread!
Given the inexplicable popularity currently of cassette only releases, anything is possible!

A brief look at the one game in the Red Sox minor league system on Wednesday: TRIPLE-A PAWTUCKET RED SOX: 4-3 LOSS (11 INNINGS) VS. DURHAM (RAYS); TIED IN BEST-OF-FIVE GOVERNOR'S CUP FINALS, 1-1 (BOX) It was a year-end nod to a season of startling, consistent excellence. With Double-A Portland eliminated from the postseason, the quality of execution that left-hander Brian Johnson had shown virtually every time he took the mound this year suggested there wasn't a compelling reason *not* to promote him to Triple-A Pawtucket for one last start in the Governor's Cup Finals. Johnson showed the kind of sharp execution that suggested not only why he earned the opportunity in Triple-A, but why he has a chance to get to the big leagues quickly, and why he could leapfrog other Red Sox starting pitching prospects like Anthony Ranaudo and Brandon Workman and Matt Barnes and even Henry Owens to secure a place in the big league rotation. Johnson pitches. He employs a wide array of pitches -- fastball, curve (a putaway pitch that he executes to both sides of the plate in a fashion that elicits bad contact and swings and misses), slider, changeup -- in a fashion that permits him to attack both sides of the plate, permitting him to compete against both right-handed and left-handed hitters. He shows an advanced ability to alter the shape and speed of his offerings in unpredictable sequences in a fashion that permits him to disrupt hitters' timing. Because his fastball mostly runs from 88-92 mph, when he misses his spot, he can be vulnerable to loud contact (as when he permitted a line-drive two-run homer to left-center on Wednesday); that pedestrian velocity also limits his potential ceiling. But the mistakes proved rare enough this year to paint a picture of a pitcher who understands his craft in a fashion that could permit him success in the near-term. Johnson has one start in Triple-A in which he logged six innings while allowing two runs on four hits while walking three and striking out seven. But next spring, he will have a chance to assert himself in big league camp. In outing after outing this year, he showed the ability to keep the game under control, permitting two or fewer earned runs in 23 of his final 24 starts. In 156 2/3 innings between the regular season and playoffs, he punched out 147 and walked 43. Opponents in High-A (5 starts), Double-A (21 starts) and Triple-A (1 start) rarely made sound contact against him, as they were kept off balance by his ability to mix and command. He looks poised to contribute in the big leagues, a pitcher for who looks like as good a bet to be a longtime contributor to a big league rotation as anyone in the system. While his ceiling might be that of a No. 3 starter in the big leagues, his floor isn't too far below that, as he looks like at least a solid No. 4 or 5 starter who seems likely to be a name of note for the team by the first half of 2015. -- Rusney Castillo continued to show an aggressive approach, jumping on a first-pitch fastball to lead off the bottom of the first inning and lining it to left for a single, and with a chance to win the game with a runner on third and one out in the bottom of the ninth, he popped up to second on another first pitch. But he also displayed an ability to stay off of pitches off both sides of the plate, working some deeper counts, including a walk, as part of a 1-for-4 day. In his first competitive game action in roughly 18 months, Castillo is now 8-for-27 (.296) with three walks and four strikeouts over his eight minor league games. For the second straight game, he played nine innings in center. -- Corey Brown launched a two-run homer and smoked a double as part of a 3-for-5 night. It was his second straight multi-hit playoff game that included a homer. -- Travis Shaw is no longer steamrolling through the postseason. Though he had long at-bats, he went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts while stranding five runners. He did, however, have two at-bats of nine pitches and one of 10 pitches, seeing a total of 35 pitches in the game.

Please scroll down to see images of the 1960s Raw Silk Side Buttoned Coat modeled and in greater detail.
Colors: Chocolate, grey, pumpkin, and black.
Closure: There are seven matching fabric buttons along the left side and one additional button on the back shoulder. The coat also has two metal snaps to hold the front flap in place; both are located along the collar.
Label: No maker label, but there is a ILGWU tag.
All measurements were taken with the coat fully buttoned.
When this piece and I found one another, it was a crumpled mess, and I have done my very best to press the wrinkles out, but it is still somewhat wrinkled (see images below). Before it goes to its new home, I will give it another press, but I certainly wanted to note the condition.
Due to the wrinkles, the wrist hems are ever-so-slightly off.
There is a very minor fabric imperfection on the back of the left shoulder.
There is a pin-sized hole along the left arm, which is featured in an image below.
Cuff detail; note the need for additional ironing.
Very minor imperfection on the back, left shoulder.
Pin-sized hole on the back of the left arm.

Q: How to send a location to Firestore and get places based on distance? In my app I want to send (perhaps via a query) a user's geopoint (userLocation) whose car has broken down and he is stranded. As a response, I want to get back all repair shops that will be willing to reach the stranded user. Each Repair_Shop firestore document contains their geopoint (shopLocation) and a number in km, serviceDistance, which is their service radius (serviceRadius). I want a response with all of the documents in the Repair_Shop collection which satisfies the criteria serviceDistance <= |userLocation - shopLocation|.
I have read through the GeoFirestore document but am not quite sure how to go about implementing this. The calculation cannot be done in the front-end, naturally. But what do I send as a query and if possible what do I do on the Firestore API so that I get the expected document snapshot?
Thanks.

A: There's no way to do this with a single geoquery. The reason for that is simple: there might be a repair shop on the north pole that is willing to travel 10,000 km to service a stranded vehicle. So you'd essentially always have to request all shops, and then sort/filter them client-side.
This problem is essentially the same as:

*

*How find nearest users by latitude and longitude?
As I answer there, the best option is to start with a reasonable range, and query all documents within that range. If that doesn't lead to a result, try again with a larger range.

*'We have stopped a concerted, systematic and financially motivated assault on the UK's immigration system'-Immigration Enforcement inspector Ben Thomas
BY GEORGE ELIJAH OTUMU/AMERICAN FOREIGN BUREAU CHIEF & TOMS SHOLAPE/CRIME REPORTER, LONDON
HE WAS A STAR IN THE NIGERIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE FEW DECADES AGO. NIGERIA'S ex-Premier League Goalkeeper, ABDUL AZEEZA, a 58 year old man who once represented a club in the Nigerian equivalent of the Premier League before retiring in 1996 had put himself into trouble recently, after incriminating documents were found in his home which convinced law enforcement agents he was the mastermind of the fraudulent gang defrauding the British government of funds, flouting United Kingdom immigration laws in the process. He has been arrested, prosecuted and jailed for four years. He also leads a gang that also sells fake British University degrees for £800 each.
Azeeza's gangs were seven in numbers. Seven men were jailed for making fake British passports and degrees which they sold. The gang were selling the counterfeit documents to immigration offenders to help them live illegally in the UK, a court heard.
But the racket unraveled after an undercover officer placed orders with gang member, Steven Kanaventi, 39. Prosecuting, Lisa Hancox told Woolwich Crown Court: 'Steven Kanaventi is the person who was at the coalface of taking orders and money and then the chain ran from there.' She said Kanaventi had even offered to pay £100 for each new customer the officer supplied.
From late 2015 to June 2017, Immigration Enforcement officers uncovered the wide-scale manufacture and distribution of the fake documents by the London and Midlands gang. Kanaventi was said to have been partly responsible for ordering, supplying and delivering the false documents. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to manufacture a fake document and was given 40 months and two weeks in jail.
Azeeza notoriously regarded as 'King of Fraud' in Immigrant circles was sentenced to four years in jail after the court heard the documents were made at his home. The former goalkeeper was found with a false passport in his back pocket, a residency card in his wallet and 'all the implements of making them on the kitchen table'.
Some of the items needed to make fake documents, including specially adapted tools for dismantling passports, threads for stitching, paint thinners and laminate, were found at his home in Walworth in South London. Azeeza pleaded guilty to two counts of possessing an identity document with improper intent and possessing equipment with the intention of making fake documents.
Alfred Adekoya, 47, also of Walworth, was sentenced to 40 months and two weeks after pleading guilty to conspiracy to manufacture a fake document.
Victor Ariyo, of Nunhead, London, acted as a go-between for Kanaventi and Adekoya, the court heard.
In a police interview, Ariyo, 53, said he was a go-between for 'a spiritual service, and that is why money passed through his account'. But he admitted conspiracy to make a fake document and money laundering. He was sentenced to three years in jail.
Luke Nkanta, 29, of Woolwich in south-east London, was said to have acted as courier. He was sentenced to 16 months in jail after pleading guilty to possession of an identity document with improper intention.
Immigration Enforcement inspector Ben Thomas said: 'The criminal business that Kanaventi and Adekoya were running was designed to undermine the fundamental immigration rule that if you have no legal status in the UK, you have no right to work.
'Their customers hoped that the fake documents would be enough to convince prospective employers that they were entitled to work, in turn allowing them to a build a life for themselves in the UK to which they were simply not entitled… We have stopped a concerted, systematic and financially motivated assault on the UK's immigration system.'

How to Play Safe with Toto Site Verification at Online Casinos
December 19, 2022 by SA Admin
Turn on two-factor authentication whenever it's feasible for your online casino account. You must enter both your password and a code that was delivered to your mobile phone as part of this security procedure. Even if they know your password, it will be considerably more difficult for them to access your account as a result. Additionally, a lot of people make the error of using the same password across many accounts. Even if someone gets to figure out your password, they won't be able to log into your account without also having access to your phone if you use two-factor authentication. Use a secure password when setting up an account at an online casino.
Before Byron was brought in, the band recorded "Goin' Home" with Kimball. This song was later featured on the Toto XX album as an "unreleased song". When Byron was brought in he and Toto recorded four new songs which were included on their greatest hits album Past to Present 1977–1990, released in 1990. Toto then embarked upon the "Planet Earth" tour that lasted from September until December 1990.
In addition, a then-unknown Paula Abdul appeared as a dancer in their "Till the End" music video. Michael McDonald provided backup vocals on the song "I'll Be Over You" , while Eagles founder and songwriting giant Don Henley appeared on the Steve Porcaro penned track "Lea". The members of Toto were regulars on albums by Steely Dan, Seals and Crofts, Boz Scaggs, Sonny and Cher, and many others, contributing to many of the most popular records of the 1970s. Keyboardist David Paich, son of musician and session player/arranger Marty Paich, rose to fame after having co-written much of Scaggs's Silk Degrees album.
We've described earlier that some platforms pretend to be reliable or might have fake licenses. So, the creators of the Toto site offer an easier way of signing up and enjoying the features that can help you figure out whether the selected source is trustworthy. Personal information is something that most gamblers are concerned about. Therefore, whenever a person logs in at any time, they have to fill in their details and agree to the terms and conditions of the sites.
Fahrenheit brought the band back from the heavier sound of Isolation to their pop/rock roots. "I'll Be Over Food Herald " and "Without Your Love", which were both ballads sung by Lukather, were the two hit singles. They recorded an instrumental piece entitled "Don't Stop Me Now" with legendary jazz trumpeter Miles Davis.
On top of that, there are multiple players who want to enter the gambling world as people are seizing their chance, whereas others are building a website. In June 2016, keyboardist Steve Porcaro released his first solo album, titled Someday/Somehow featuring Michael McDonald and Toto touring backing singer Mabvuto Carpenter. In late 2003, Toto headlined Night of the Proms for two months straight. Paich returned but was only able to play for a few weeks before he had to leave again, so Phillinganes once again filled in for the remainder of the shows. After Simon Phillips announced of illness, Jon Fariss and Ricky Lawson joined the band for the Night of the Proms. In early 2004, the band embarked on a world tour that went throughout 2004 and 2005.
