Home News Releases Redfin Announces Agreement to Acquire RentPath for $608 Million
Redfin Announces Agreement to Acquire RentPath for $608 Million
Acquisition brings together a leading site for homebuying with a leading site for rental listings
SEATTLE and ATLANTA, Feb. 19, 2021 — (NASDAQ: RDFN) — Redfin has entered into an agreement to acquire RentPath , the Atlanta-based owner of ApartmentGuide.com, Rent.com, and Rentals.com, for $608 million in cash. The acquisition will bring together a leading site for buying a home with a leading site for renting a home, giving anyone trying to move a complete view of her options.
"RentPath has more than 20,000 apartment buildings on its rental websites, and grew its traffic more than 25% last year," said Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman. "We can almost double that audience, as one in five of Redfin.com's 40+ million monthly visitors also wants to see homes for rent. Together with RentPath, we can create an online destination for every North American to find a home."
"We are energized by the transformational potential of this combination to help more consumers find the right home and help property managers find residents," said Dhiren Fonseca, RentPath's CEO. "RentPath's customers experienced all-time highs in traffic and leads from us last year and our value proposition to multifamily property managers has never been better. By acquiring RentPath, Redfin will be as committed as we are to the rental market. As part of the Redfin family, our platform will be well positioned to lead the market in the quality and value of our products, while giving our current and future customers access to many more high-intent renters through Redfin's extensive network."
Redfin, the technology-powered real estate brokerage, operates the #1 nationwide brokerage search site. The company uses a combination of local real estate agents and technology to make it easier, faster and less costly to buy or sell a home.
RentPath simplifies the apartment search experience for millions of consumers, connecting property-management companies with qualified prospective renters. The RentPath network of websites reached 16 million monthly visitors on average in 2020, and recorded full year 2020 revenue of $194 million.
Strategic Rationale
Better Search Experience: More than a third of North American adults currently rent, so showing rentals is an important expansion of Redfin's mission. When consumers think of home, they'll think of Redfin, whether they are hoping to rent or buy, sell, or find a tenant. Redfin expects RentPath's rental listings to be on Redfin.com in late 2022.
Better Value for Advertisers: Redfin will increase RentPath's reach, creating more rental opportunities for the rental properties promoted on RentPath sites. Redfin estimates that 10 million of Redfin's 40+ million monthly online visitors may also be interested in rental properties.
Traffic Growth: Both Redfin and RentPath grew traffic by over 20% in 2020 and have powerful channels for meeting customers and marketing listings directly to consumers. Together with RentPath, Redfin will aim to compete with the largest portals on every front, for every visitor.
Improving the Rental Experience: While Redfin does not expect to hire real estate agents to represent renters, the company is excited about the opportunities to make the whole process of renting an apartment better.
Redfin will provide further details on the transaction on a conference call which will take place on February 19, 2021 at 5 a.m. Pacific Time / 8 a.m. Eastern Time. Call information will be posted on Redfin's investor relations website.

Blood from Stone by Laura Anne Gilman was a very enjoyable urban-fantasy read set in modern-day Manhattan. In it dryads, giants and piskies make an appearance, while the stage's main players are Sergei, a Null (non-magic user), "Wren" Valere, a Talent (a user of the magic force known as current) and P.B., a demon.
Valere is a Retriever, which is a nice way of saying she's a thief. In this story she does two retrievals, one for a client and one for her friend P.B. Both retrievals have challenges for Wren. Both bring up unresolved issues from Wren's past.
Blood from Stone is the sixth novel in a series about Wren. I assume that her romantic interest, Sergei is in all, or most of those books as he was her partner before he became her romantic interest. No, I haven't read any of the other Retriever novels, Gilman is just a master at giving enough backstory to fill in the gaps in a reader's knowledge, and the Retriever novels are all listed inside the cover.
Blood from Stone was purchased through eHarlequin.com so i was expecting a run-of-the-mill randy romance novel. I was so pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be much more than that. The major players in the story are artfully, developed. The romance, while it burns hot where appropriate, is as comfortable as your favorite jeans. It has some very real challenges for the characters to overcome and most importantly it has a heroine who, though vulnerable, isn't waiting helplessly for someone to come along and rescue her. She is actively working things out, as is her love interest and together the two of them make a great pair.
Blood from Stone is wonderful to read. Once again I read the final volume of a series before I read the earlier volumes and once again it is an error I plan to rectify. I will absolutely read the entire series of Retriever novels. I'll re-read this volume when I get to its spot at the end of the series. I'll be looking forward to more of Wren and Sergei's adventures in the future, although I understand Gilman is taking a break from the Retriever series to pursue a line of novels focusing on paranormal investigations with one of the characters, also a Talent, who is introduced in the Retriever's series.
"Maybe." She didn't seem too disturbed by the fact.
"Genevieve!" He only used her given name when he was really annoyed. Or scared witless, but annoyed pretty much did the job right now. "Do you know what happens to kids who-" He stopped himself. Of course she did. More, she knew what happened to Talented kids who ended up in the wrong hands. No matter her personal opinion of kids, which was usually that they were best served braised on a bed of spinach-she would not keep from protecting the boy if she thought there was a need.
Gilman's sense of humor comes across repeatedly in Blood from Stone. I had several laugh out loud moments. I was glad no one was at home to hear me as they would have thought I was crazy. I was simply really enjoying what was a wonderful book.

Home Business CPI, stock market and economic news: real-time updates
CPI, stock market and economic news: real-time updates
Policymakers have spent months waiting for inflation to fade, hoping supply chain problems might ease, allowing companies to catch up with booming consumer demand. Instead, continued waves of virus have locked down factories, and shipping routes have struggled to work through extended backlogs as consumers continue to buy goods from overseas at a rapid clip. What will happen next might be the biggest economic policy question of 2022.
The Consumer Price Index climbed by 7 percent in the year through December, and by 5.5 percent after stripping out volatile prices such as food and fuel. The last time the main inflation index eclipsed 7 percent was 1982.
Prices for used cars and trucks have been a big driver of recent inflation. Auto manufacturers have been struggling to get their hands on parts — particularly computer chips imported from Asia — delaying production of new vehicles and pushing up demand for a finite supply of used ones.
Wednesday's fresh data showed that the cost of used cars, shelter and food are all increasing quickly.
As prices continue to surge, economic policymakers are poised to react. Federal Reserve officials have indicated that they expect to raise interest rates several times this year as they try to slow down demand and the economy, in a bid to make sure that the pandemic-era burst in prices does not become a permanent feature of the economic landscape.
Recent lockdowns in China meant to contain the coronavirus could exacerbate the shortage. When it comes to vehicle prices, "it's not over yet," said Jim O'Sullivan, chief U.S. macro strategist at T.D. Securities, said before the report.
Jerome H. Powell, the Fed chair, emphasized on Tuesday, when he spoke before the Senate Banking Committee at a renomination hearing, that the Fed's moves to reduce policy help will adjust to the economic conditions.
"If we see inflation persisting at high levels longer than expected, if we have to raise interest rates more over time, we will," he said at the hearing.
Investors and economists increasingly expect four interest rate increases this year. The future trajectory of inflation is uncertain, as price pressures spread across many categories.
While gas prices moderated somewhat in December, food has been growing steadily more expensive. Food at home climbed in price in December, while food away from home grew even more rapidly last month — and full-service restaurant meals picked up by 6.6 percent over the year. Economists and Wall Street analysts tend to closely focus on a measure of prices that strips out food and fuel costs, because they jump around a lot from month to month, but those expenses matter a lot to households.
The fact that high prices are taking a bite out of household budgets seems to be one of the reasons that consumer confidence has faltered; gas and food tend to be among the most salient costs for shoppers. Jon Willow, 55 and from Interlochen, Mich., has seen grocery costs climb steeply since the pandemic started — so much that she and her partner have tried to move away from purchased produce by canning vegetables from their garden and heating their henhouse through the winter so that their chickens keep producing eggs.
A critical question for families like Ms. Willow's is how long today's heady inflation persists. Policymakers and economists had initially hoped that they would alleviate quickly, and still expect them to moderate throughout 2022. Mr. O'Sullivan at T.D. Securities said he thinks price gains could hover around 7 percent for a few months before beginning to decline, which would make this roughly peak inflation. They are, however, paying attention to a few factors that could keep prices rising too quickly for comfort.
The pair are worried about whether their retirement savings will last as long as they had expected and planned for, given the quicker price increases. Both are still working: Ms. Willow has a communications practice that works with local governments and utilities and is co-founder of a nonprofit focused on expanding rural broadband. Her partner is a full-time design engineer at a local business that makes custom signs for large companies. They had planned for the future assuming a lower inflation rate. "We have a no-food-left-behind policy at the house now — we use everything," she said, noting that they had preserved tomatoes, squash and asparagus.

Jerusalem Post Arab Israeli Conflict
Nickolay Mladenov: Israelis, Palestinians lose envoy of peace
REGIONAL AFFAIRS: For six years, Nickolay Mladenov was the behind-the-scenes official who kept the wheels of a two-state solution moving
By TOVAH LAZAROFF
NICKOLAY MLADENOV – he won the confidence and trust of all the relevant players.
United Nations envoy Nickolay Mladenov, a diplomatic pillar on which the uneasy calm that has characterized the Israeli-Palestinian conflict over the last six years has rested, quietly left for his home country of Bulgaria at the end of last month.
The impact of his departure on the conflict has not garnered as much attention as that of the tumultuous regime change in Washington and the electoral chaos in Israel. His absence, however, leaves a chasm in day-to-day, back-channel regional statesmanship precisely at a time of diplomatic upheaval.
A former Bulgarian foreign minister, he arrived in Jerusalem from a UN posting in Iraq in 2015 at an inauspicious moment in the conflict. He took over what, during the time of his predecessor, Robert Serry, had been the highly contentious post of UN special coordinator for the Middle East peace process.
For almost six years Mladenov was a peace envoy without a peace process. From the moment of his arrival and until his departure, there were no direct Israeli-Palestinian negotiations. Until the final months of his posting, a larger Israeli-Arab peace process, which has now filled Israel with hope, was absent and largely considered unthinkable.
During his first two years, the Obama administration had largely given up on Israeli-Palestinian peace and for the next three, the process remained frozen as both parties awaited a plan from US President Donald Trump.
In an interview with The Jerusalem Post in 2016, Mladenov spoke of the limits of his position in light of the current reality, noting that one would have to be "day dreaming" to imagine that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were about to sit down to negotiate.
"We don't believe that, currently, the way things stand, negotiations are possible," he said.
In the interim, he explained, "our role is to actually figure out how we can create the condition under which such a process can resume in a meaningful manner."
Then he went about showing just how meaningful small, behind-the-scenes steps could actually be. He threw out the script of how his office had operated and created a new process that met the reality he saw out his window.
The Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University dubbed his form of diplomacy the "Mladenov approach."
Nowhere was that felt more than in Israel's conflict with Hamas in Gaza, which had thrice broken out into war – in the winter of 2008-2009, in 2012 and in the summer of 2014.
During his six years in office, Gaza crises erupted, rockets flew and the IDF struck Hamas targets. But each time, just as Israel was on the brink of war, effective behind-the-scenes diplomacy by his office restored an uneasy calm.
This included the eventual neutralization of the Hamas-led Great March of Return, which began in 2018 and sparked weekly and at times daily violent riots on Israel's border and included the launching of incendiary balloons against southern Israel.
Part of his success was due to the fact that he was not a stranger to the Middle East and that he came from a small neutral country. He had already visited the region as a foreign minister and had ties with Israelis, Palestinians and Arab countries, including the Gulf states. He did not lose those connections, and some of them were enhanced during his time in Iraq.
MLADENOV HAD an easy manner about him that made people feel as though he were their friend, even when he was critical and holding them to task.
Former US ambassador Dan Shapiro said, "He did something that others who have held that position have found difficult to do, which is to win the confidence and trust of all the relevant players." This included, Shapiro said, "the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority, the Arab states, the American and European leaders and Hamas."
Shapiro added that "because he had that trust and was seen as a straight shooter," he could "call any party out for an action that needed to be addressed or changed."
In addition, Mladenov was "very creative and quite determined. He was far more effective than many who have held that position," said Shapiro.
Mladenov not only created a mechanism of communication for defusing crisis situations with Gaza, but he augmented that with linking Gaza calm with increased humanitarian aid, in a way that offered positive incentive that gave Hamas a reason to hold its fire.
From the start he breathed new life into the Gaza Reconstruction Mechanism, by which construction material was allowed into the Strip to enable Palestinians to rebuild homes destroyed during the 2014 war. He helped move forward projects on water and wastewater and electricity, including increased funding. In 2018, he expanded those efforts, bringing in extra aid, including cash for needy families, from Qatar.
Mladenov was vocal about his ideas, speaking often to the Israeli public at conferences and events, including those organized by civic society groups, by way of strengthening on the ground efforts toward peace. He wrote tweets and blog posts and gave monthly briefings to the UN Security Council. At a time when few were saying anything, he was always saying something.
Mladenov sided with the Palestinians on the idea of a two-state solution at the pre-1967 lines, as he warned against a one-state reality to the conflict. He was a persistent opponent of settlement activity, which he saw as a stumbling block to the conflict.
But he also supported Israel in its criticism of Hamas and the PA support of terrorism and incitement, putting that critique in writing in the 2016 Quartet blueprint to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which he helped author.
During his six years, Mladenov was often the first UN official to condemn terrorist attacks or to chastise the Palestinians. He also called repeatedly for Fatah-Hamas unity and urged the PA to maintain its security cooperation with Israel and to accept the tax levies Israel had collected for it. At times he was accused by Palestinians of what they perceived to be a stance that was too pro-Israel.
Mladenov had not initially believed that Israeli-Arab peace was possible prior to resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. His opinions were diametrically opposite to those of the Trump administration. Still, he has been credited with helping the US see how the threat of Israeli West Bank annexation could create a window of opportunity for Israeli-Arab normalization. Under the rubric of the Abraham Accords the Trump administration launched in August, Israel opened ties with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan.
The success of those initiatives was helped, in part, by the calm that existed in Gaza, which Mladenov had helped maintain. Had there been a war in the previous two years, the option for normalization deals might not have existed.
Shapiro said that Mladenov "didn't resolve the conflict, obviously, but helped contain it, ameliorate it [and] helped resolve and prevent crises when they popped up."
German Ambassador Susanne Wasum-Rainer said, "He was tireless in his efforts to make small steps that could eventually lead to bigger progress. He never allowed himself to get frustrated at any obstacles, and remained always convinced that the painful reality of the conflict for the people living here gave the UN and the international community an obligation to stay engaged."
She added, "Even during all these years without negotiations between the two sides, he succeeded to uphold the international consensus on the need for a two-states solution."
IN SUMMING UP his own time in Israel in a blog post he wrote before he left, Mladenov said, "I have worked on upholding the international consensus that the goal is of a two-state solution, I have warned of the dangers of the eroding status quo, supported intra-Palestinian reconciliation efforts, and, most of all, focused on preventive diplomacy.
"Together with Egypt, and with critical support from Qatar and others in the international community, the United Nations has played a pivotal role in preventing another devastating war in Gaza. I have spoken out against injustices. I have condemned terror," he wrote.
He added that it was a mistake to view the conflict from the narrow lens of territory.
"This conflict is not just a conflict over land, for both peoples have the right to call Israel and Palestine their home. It is not only a conflict over history – personal and collective. It is a conflict over the very right of two nations to coexist," he wrote.
"Perhaps today is not the time for big international initiatives, but the time for steps – maybe small, sometimes maybe bold – that protect that goal of two-states," Mladenov wrote.
He urged Israelis and Palestinians to seize common threats such as the COVID-19 pandemic and opportunities such as those provided by the Abraham Accords to find a way to return to the negotiating table.
Seen as a rising star at the UN and as a possible UN secretary-general, he had planned to leave for a UN post in Libya. But at the last moment he bowed out for family and personal reasons, and will be replaced by veteran diplomat from Noway Tor Wennesland.
He was so vocal and so omnipresent, speaking at small NGO events and shaking hands with heads of state throughout the region, that it almost seemed as though he had become a permanent fixture to the conflict.
The small achievements on the Israeli-Palestinian track over the last six years have depended on a large cadre of diplomats, but Mladenov is credited as the behind-the-scenes official who maximized those efforts to keep the wheels of a two-state solution slowly churning.
He was a vocal envoy of peace on behalf of both Palestinians and Israelis, who has left the stage at a time when his calming influence would have been essential to maintaining horizons of possibilities for Israeli-Arab and Israeli-Palestinian peace.

Leslie Hamilton Lang (27 May 1889 – 12 March 1974) was the fourth Bishop of Woolwich.

Biography
Born on 27 May 1889 and educated at Repton and Trinity College, Cambridge, he was ordained in 1915. His first post was at St Mary's, Portsea. He was interviewed on 28 December 1916, for a commission as a Temporary Chaplain to the Forces and was assessed as 'A1 bright fellow' and sent off to join the 58th London Division in France. In May, 1917, at Bullecourt, 'he was struck by a rifle bullet which entered below the elbow at back of Rt forearm and passed out 2" above wrist behind fracturing and partially dividing ulna nerve'. He returned to England, and efforts to make him sufficiently fit to return to active service proved unsuccessful.  He had applied for a 'wound gratuity' as early as September, 1917, because he felt that full recovery was impossible.  But successive Medical Boards did not agree with him. A temporary gratuity of £50 p.a. was agreed in 1918 and was made permanent in 1920. When he died in 1974, the pension paid £396:00p p.a. The pension was only agreed when a medical board declared the wound 'was equivalent to an amputation'. After the War, Lang had his hand sheathed in a black glove, changing to white for confirmations. When peace returned he was successively: domestic chaplain to Cosmo Lang (his second-cousin), Archbishop of York; Chaplain to Returned Soldiers in Edmonton, Canada; and then Vicar of All Saints, Swanscombe. After this he was Warden of the Trinity College Mission, Camberwell and after that Rural Dean of Kingston before his elevation to the episcopate.  Even though he had retired from Woolwich in 1947, curiously the Archbishop of Canterbury recommended him for the vacant see of Portsmouth in 1948, because Lang was 'an excellent preacher and a safe pair of hands'. The Prime Minister's Secretary, however, regraded Lang's health as 'doubtful' and 42-year-old Launcelot Fleming was appointed. A keen educationalist, Lang continued to serve the Church as an assistant bishop of Winchester, Archdeacon of Winchester and a canon residentiary at Winchester Cathedral until his retirement in 1962; he died on 12 March 1974.

Goblins!
The Goblin Chronicles #1
This is a comic of local interest — the colorist is Will Terrell, the guy who runs the Lubbock Sketch Club.
This is a fantasy adventure, with four constantly warring races — the elves, the trolls, the goblins, and the shapeshifters — in a land dominated by the evil Dark Queen and plagued by marauding demons called the Host. Most of our story concerns Gorim, a young goblin who cares more for reading and tinkering than warfare. Sent on a hunting expedition, he meets up with Zara the troll, Sprig the shapeshifter, and Princess Gween the elf. Though they fight briefly, they find themselves recruited by a tree — actually Imtrix, a powerful wizard — to fulfill an ancient prophecy and liberate the Four Realms.
Verdict: Thumbs up. It's a standard fantasy plot, so it really needs good characters — and lo and behold, that's what they've got. Gorim, Zara, Sprig and Gween are all archetypes, but they're interesting, they've got good personalities, and they're all written with humor. The artwork's cute and cartoony — my primary complaint would be the similar appearance of goblins and trolls — the trolls all look like goblins on steroids.
How's Will's coloring? Well, it looks fine to me. I know that may sound like damning with faint praise, but that's not my intention. I'm not an artist of any sort, so it'd be silly of me to pretend to talk meaningfully about the art of coloring a comic book. I'm more than happy with the way the book looks — gracious knows I've seen some badly colored comics in my day — either muddy colors that run together or garishly eye-straining to look at — but this one is easy on the eyes, gives a great look to the scenery, and adds its own boosts to the atmosphere and mood of the story.
Oooh, and before I forget, I got a sketch from Will when I was buying this book. Check it out — this is our hero, Gorim.

Different Types of Registers used in 8051 Microcontroller
The register is the main part of the microcontrollers and processors that provide a fast way to collect and store data. If we want to manipulate data with a controller or processor by performing addition, subtraction, and so on, we cannot do that directly in the memory, but it needs registers to process and store the data. Microcontrollers contain several types of registers that can be classified according to their content or instructions that operate in them.
Different Types of Registers in the 8051 Microcontroller
A register is a small place in a CPU that can store small amounts of the data used for performing various operations such as addition and multiplication and loads the resulting data on the main memory. Registers contain the address of the memory location where the data is to be stored. The size of the register is very important for modern controllers. For instance, for a 64-bit register, a CPU tries to add two 32-bit numbers and gives a 64-bit result.
Types of Registers
The 8051 microcontroller contains mainly two types of registers:
General-purpose registers (Byte addressable registers)
Special function registers (Bit addressable registers)
8051 RAM Memory
The 8051 microcontroller consists of 256 bytes of RAM, which is divided into two ways, such as 128 bytes for general purpose and 128 bytes for special function registers (SFR) memory. The memory which is used for general purpose is called as RAM, and the memory used for SFR contains all the peripheral related registers like Accumulator, 'B' register, Timers or Counters, and interrupt related registers.
General Purpose Registers
General Purpose Memory
The general-purpose memory is called as the RAM of the 8051 microcontrollers, which is divided into 3 areas such as banks, bit-addressable area, and scratch-pad area. The banks contain different general-purpose registers such as R0-R7, and all such registers are byte-addressable registers that store or remove only 1-byte of data.
Banks and Registers
The B0, B1, B2, and B3 stand for banks, and each bank contains eight general-purpose registers ranging from 'R0' to 'R7'. All these registers are byte-addressable. Data transfer between general-purpose registers to general-purpose registers is not possible. These banks are selected by the Program Status Word (PSW) register.
PSW (Program Status Word) Register
The PSW register is a bit and byte-addressable register. This register reflects the status of the operation that is carried out in the controller. The PSW register determines bank selection by an RS1 and RS0, as shown below. The physical address of the PSW starts from D0h and the individual bits are accessed with D0h to D7h.
PSW Registers
Carry Flag (C): The Address of the Carry flag is D7. This carry flag is affected when the bit is generated from the 7th position.
When C=0 carry resets
C=1 carry sets
Carry Flag
Auxillary Flag(AC): The address of the auxiliary carry is D5. This auxiliary carry is affected when a bit is generated from the 3rd position to the 4th position.
AC=0 auxiliary is reset
AC=1 auxiliary is set
Auxiliary Carry (AC)
Overflow Flag (OV): The address of the overflow flag is D2. When a bit is generated from the 6th position to the 7th position, then the overflow flag is affected.
OV=0 overflow flag resets
OV=1 overflow flag sets
Overflow Flag
Parity Flag (P): The address of the parity flag is D0. While performing arithmetic operations, if the result is 1, then the parity flag is set – otherwise, reset.
RS1 and RS0
The RS1 and RS0, the bits in the PSW register, are used to select different memory locations (bank0 to bank4) in the RAM.
Bank selection Registers
The following is an example of using this register.
The following example demonstrates the addition of two numbers and then the storage of final value in the Bank1 register using an assembly level program.
Org 0000h
MOV PSW,#00h
MOV A, 15
ADD A, 20
MOV 00h, A
Assembly program to move 6 natural numbers in bank0 register R0-R5
Org 0000h (starting addresses declaration)
MOV PSW, #00h (open the bank0 memory)
MOV r0, #00h (starting address of bank0 memory)
MOV r1, #01h
MOV r0, 00h (value send to the bank1 memory)
MOV r1, 02h
Special Function Registers (SFR)
Special function registers are upper RAM in the 8051 microcontrollers. These registers contain all peripherally related registers like P0, P1, P2, P3, timers or counters, serial port, and interrupts-related registers. The SFR memory address starts from 80h to FFh. The SFR register is implemented by bit-address registers and byte-address registers.
The accumulator, B register, Po, P1, P2, P3, IE registers are bit-addressable register remaining all are byte-addressable registers.
The accumulator which is also known as ACC or A is a bit as well as a byte-addressable register by an address of the accumulator. If you want to use a bit-addressable register, you can use a single bit (E0) of the register and you can use an 8-bit of the accumulator as a byte-addressable register. The accumulator holds the results of most Arithmetic and logical operations.
Accumulator register
The Assembly program for subtraction used with an Accumulator
MOV A, #03h (1byte data)
SUBB A, 01h (1byte data)
B-Register
The B-register is a bit and byte-addressable register. You can access 1-bit or all 8-bits by a physical address F0h. Suppose to access a bit 1, we have to use f1. The B register is only used for multiplication and division operations.
The Assembly program for multiplication used with a B-Register
MOV A, #09h
MOV B, #03h
MUL A, B (Final value stored in A)
The Assembly program for Division used with a B-Register
DIC A, B (Final value stored in A)
Port Registers
The 8051 microcontroller consists of 4-input and output ports (P0, P1, P2, and P3) or 32-I/O pins. Each pin is designed with a transistor and P registers. The pin configuration is very important for a microcontroller that depends on the logic states of the registers. The pin configuration as the input given by 1 or output 0 depends on the logic states. If logic 1 is applied to the bit of the P register, the output transistor switches off the appropriate pin that acts as an input pin.
Port Registers of 8051

RETURN: MOV P0, #00h
ACALL DEL1
MOV P0, #0FF
SJMP RETURN
DEL1: MOV R2, #200
DEL: DJNZ R0, #230
DJNZ R2, DEL
Counters and registers
Many microcontrollers consist of one or more timers and counters. The timers are used to generate precious time delay and the source for the timers is a crystal oscillator. The counters are used to count the number of external events – for instance, the objective counter, and the source for counters are external pulses applied across the counter pin.
The 8051 microcontroller consists of two 16-bit timers and counters such as timer 0 and timer 1. Both the timers consist of a 16-bit register in which the lower byte is stored in the TL and the higher byte is stored in the TH. The Timer can be used as a counter as well as for timing operation that depends on the source of the clock pulses to the counters.
The Counters and Timers in 8051 microcontrollers contain two special function registers: TMOD (Timer Mode Register) and TCON (Timer Control Register), which are used for activating and configuring timers and counters.
Types of Shift Register
Shift registers are a type of sequential logic circuits that are mainly used for the storage of digital data. The shift registers are bit-addressable registers that store only one bit of data. The shift registers are constructed with flip-flops – a group of flip-flops connected as a chain so that the output from one flip-flop becomes the input of the next flip-flop.
All the flip-flops are driven by the clock signals that are implemented by the D-flip-flap. The shift registers are mainly used for serial communication.
These are classified into 4- types:
Serial in Serial out (SISO)
Serial in Parallel Out (SIPO)
Parallel in Serial out (PISO)
Parallel in Parallel Out (PIPO)
D- flipflop register
These are all different types of registers in an 8051 microcontroller. We hope that we have successfully given you relevant content with the appropriate program for each register. Furthermore, for any sort of help to know the coding of several other registers, you can contact us by commenting below.

Mosin Nagant Review
inGuns
One of the most popular surplus rifles on the American market today is the Mosin Nagant. Popular especially with collectors and those in the survival and disaster preparedness community, the Mosin Nagant is a very rugged, durable, and well-made rifle, and it also has a very neat and fascinating history.
Mosin Nagants are also very affordable, and back in the 1990s, they were being shipped into the United States in droves. You could buy them for only $50 to $100 a piece. Today, the average Mosin you find will cost around $250 to $400, which means that they can be a good investment as they only continue to rise in value.
In this article, we will discuss the history of the Mosin Nagant, its and pros and its cons, and why you should give strong consideration to owning one.
History of the Mosin Nagant
One of the neatest aspects of the Mosin Nagant is its history. In fact, the history of the Mosin Nagant alone is worth spending the money to buy one even if you have n practical use for it otherwise.
The Mosin Nagant remains to this day an icon of Russian firearms. It was originally adopted as the main service rifle of Russia in the 1890s, and served with distinction throughout World War I and World War II. In fact, it remained the number one service rifle for Russia and later the Soviet Union until the late 1940s when it was replaced by the AK-47.
Originally, there were plans to scrape the Mosin Nagant as the main infantry weapon by the semi-automatic Tokarev SVT-38s and SVT-40s. However, these plans fell through because of the high cost of the Tokarev rifles and their unreliability. The Mosin Nagant was cheap to make and very durable, and it continued to be made by the millions throughout the second World War.
The Mosin Nagant continued to be used by many USSR-allied nations throughout the Cold War, and American troops fought against North Korean and North Vietnamese soldiers armed with the weapons in the Korean and Vietnam War as well. Even to this day, the Mosin Nagant is still being used in conflicts throughout the world, most notably in the Syrian Civil War where it has found use as a sniper rifle.
In the 1980s and 1990s, millions of surplus Mosin Nagants in decent condition were imported into the United States where they were sold for very cheap prices, at one point as low as $50 a rifle. The value of these rifles have gone up as the supply has began to drop and demand continues to increase.
Pros of the Mosin Nagant
The fact that the Mosin Nagant has been so widely used for over a hundred and thirty years speaks volumes about its quality. The Mosin Nagant's main benefits are its inherent simplicity and durability. The action is very rugged and this is largely what has made the rifle so successful.
For a cheap surplus rifle, Mosins (assuming they have been well-taken care of) are also surprisingly accurate. No, they are not competition level, but you can still definitely expect to get decent groups at long ranges.
Another big benefit to the Mosin is its caliber, the 7.62x54r. This is an old round, but it's also very affordable and the ballistics are very similar to the American .30-06 Springfield round. With a Mosin Nagant, you will be more than capable of bringing down literally any kind of North American big game.
Cons of the Mosin Nagant
There are cons to the Mosin Nagant rifle. For one thing, it is a long and heavy rifle. The M38 and M44 carbine variants are shorter and therefore more nimble, but are also very heavy.
In addition, the Mosin is admittedly a bit crudely fashioned. Yes, it is accurate, reliable, and durable, but the finishing is definitely rather crude. This is one reason why the rifles were made for such a low cost, and why they are still highly affordable as well.
Two more big negatives to the Mosin Nagant are the sloppy trigger pull and the hard to use safety. The safety on the rear of the receiver is very difficult to pull back and release, to the point that most shooters pretend it doesn't even exist and don't use it. The trigger also has a lot of movement in it and is a bit heavy, but it can be tuned up and adjusted by a gunsmith if the user so desires.
Why Do You Need A Mosin Nagant?
There are many reasons to consider owning a Mosin Nagant. First and foremost, it's simply a neat piece of history, having served as the main Russian service rifle throughout World War I and World War II.
As noted previously, the Mosin is a solid investment. Twenty years ago, these rifles were selling for under a hundred dollars apiece, and are now sold for several hundred dollars for one in good condition. Since the Mosin Nagant is no longer made, the value of them will only increase in the future so long as the demand remains high.
There are many practical benefits to the Mosin Nagant as well. It's an excellent hunting rifle as the 7.62x54r can be used on anything from deer to elk to bighorn sheep to wild hog to bear and so on. As a very durable rifle, the Mosin would be a great budget firearm to use in an SHTF situation. Granted, it is a bolt action rifle with a low magazine capacity and slow rate of fire, but that's better than nothing.
Last but not least, Mosins are also a lot of fun to shoot at the range. If for no other reason to own it, you are all but certain to have a good time and many fond memories shooting it at the target range, where you can easily tap targets out to several hundred yards.
The Mosin Nagant is without question the most popular surplus rifle on the US market today, and it's easy to see why. These rifles are well-made, durable, and simple, if also a bit crude. If you are looking for a rifle that offers strong historical value, is likely to increase in financial value in the future, and that is very rugged and great for both big game hunting and fun target shooting, the Mosin Nagant represents a great choice.

Market Bosworth RFC
Market Bosworth RFC 17 - Walsall RFC 34
"The team showed great spirit to get back into the game in the last 30 minutes which if they apply this for the whole match the results should come."
Mitch Irving
A ONE minute applause preceded the kick-off in memory of Peter Curtis a former Bosworth player who captained the side in the mid-70s who had died earlier in the week
Bosworth made a number of changes from the previous game, captain and hooker Sam Harding returning to the front row.
Bosworth started by attacking but Walsall were soon putting pressure on the home side and were rewarded with an unconverted try which they increased shortly afterwards with a penalty due to indiscipline at the breakdown to lead 8-0.
Bosworth started to work their way back into the game and were relieved when Williams landed a 40 metre penalty to reduce the score to 3-8. However more indiscipline by Bosworth allowed the visitors to increase their lead by another three points.
The home side started to dominate in the forwards putting pressure on Walsall and were very close to scoring only to be held up over the line following a catch and drive lineout.
From the resultant scrum a dropped pass led to an 80 metre counter attack which found the Walsall scrum half crossing the line for a converted try to extend the lead to 18-3.
Another Walsall penalty just before half time closed the half
Further indiscipline shortly after the break and Walsall increased their lead to 24-3.
The home side finally managed to find some resolve to put some moves together among the backs to aid their dominant forwards and caused the Walsall to start giving away a number of penalties.
A kick to the corner followed by a rolling maul resulted for a try for the captain Sam Harding with Williams adding the extras reduced the score to 10-24.
The Bosworth backs were coming more into the game and moving the ball well with breaks by Harry Milner and Chris Moore and it was the latter who evaded the Walsall cover to touchdown which Williams converted to reduce the visitors' lead to seven points with 10 minutes to go.
The West Midlanders were not finshed as the fought their way back into the game denying the hosts another score and adding another penalty and a breakaway try to close the game.
President John Ward said: "For much of the game we were the dominant side particularly in the forwards but the first half was strewn with unforced errors and indiscipline that continually put us on the back foot and allowed Walsall to create a margin too wide to recover from.


Our theme for March is "Return of the Light". In many lands, March signifies the break of winter's reign and the beginning of spring. In Middle Earth of the Third Age, this takes on an even deeper meaning: March is the month when Sauron was overthrown; when Aragorn was born and, many years later, crowned; when Gandalf rescued Theoden King from darkness.
Tolkien describes Aragorn's coronation and his wedding to Arwen. But how did the commoners celebrate even before the soldiers returned home? The elves had their own battles to fight during this time. What was it like when Mirkwood was renamed Eryn Lasgalen?
If you prefer a more somber story, tell us of those wives of Gondor, Rohan, and the elven realms who waited in vain for their husbands to return from battle, while watching the joyous reunions of other families. Or of the child who realizes that their older brother won't be home again.
The stories are only as limited as your imaginations, and we know those have no bounds!
Your story must include Aragorn, Legolas, or both. It isn't important if they are main characters as long as they are mentioned. You can write about other familiar faces or create your own original characters to share.


Independent advisory firms can help recruiting, clients and the bottom line by building "Diamond Teams"
I am repeatedly surprised by the unexpected benefits of the Diamond Teams structure for independent advisory firms. After my blog appeared online, a member of one of the larger firms I've worked with to implement Diamond Teams pointed out that I had failed to talk about the top benefit of Diamond Teams: "The true benefit is the steady 19% per year growth rate ever since we implemented it," the person said.
Independent advisory firm revenues almost never grow at a steady rate. When advisory firms grow, they invariably run into predicable "growth barriers," points at which their volume of new clients and assets out-grow their capacity.
At these points, firms need to increase capacity — typically by adding staff and upgrading technology — which requires a substantial reinvestment of cashflow. Consequently, growth rates slow for a time during these building stages.

The tables below contain detailed information about these differences, and are designed to help you determine whether the copyright for a work has expired.
The first table covers differences related to authorship, and the subsequent tables cover differences related to specific formats, including literary/dramatic/musical/artistic works, images, cinematographic works (e.g., film and video), and government publications.
1. Authorship
(A) Known Single Author If the author is still living: Not in Public Domain. If the author is now deceased: Is the work published?
(a) If no: Enters Public Domain 50 years after the death of the author.
(b) If yes: Was the author living at date of publication?
→ If yes: Enters Public Domain 50 years after the death of author.
→ If no: Was work published before December 31, 1998?
If yes: Enters Public Domain 50 years after date of publication.
If no: When did the author die?
– Before December 31, 1948: Enters Public Domain on January 1, 2004.
– Between December 31, 1948 and December 31, 1998, inclusive: Enters Public Domain on January 1, 2004.
– After December 31, 1998: Enters Public Domain 50 years after death of author
(B) Known Multiple Authors If any of the authors are still living: Not in Public Domain.If all of the authors are deceased:
Is the work published?
(a) If no: Enters Public Domain 50 years after the death of last surviving author.
→ If yes: Enters Public Domain 50 years after the death of last surviving author.
→ If no (i.e. a Posthumous Work): Was work published before December 31, 1998?
If no: When did the last surviving author die?
– After December 31, 1998: Enters Public Domain 50 years after death of last surviving author.
(C) Pseudonymous/Anonymous Author(s) If author(s) are unknown, then the work will enter the Public Domain:
– 75 years after the year of creation; or
– if the work was published prior to the end of such 75 year period, 75 years after the year of publication, or 100 years from the year of creation, whichever term is shorter
But, if one or more authors becomes known before the earlier of publication + 75 years / creation +100 years, then the work enters the Public Domain at death of the known author who dies last + 50 years.
(D) Work created for hire, i.e. in the course of employment In the absence of an agreement to the contrary, the person who employed the author is first owner of copyright. However, the determination of whether a work is in the Public Domain still determined in reference to the life of the individual author.
– If the employer is corporation, organization or a municipality, see section (E) below.
– If the employer is an individual (a human being) or individuals, please see Section (A) or (B) above, as appropriate.
Note, if the work which was made in the course of employment is "an article or other contribution to a newspaper, magazine or similar periodical", then "there shall, in the absence of any agreement to the contrary, be deemed to be reserved to the author a right to restrain the publication of the work, otherwise than as part of a newspaper, magazine or similar periodical." (Copyright Act, section 13(3))
(E) Documents belonging to corporations, organizations, municipalities If the corporation, organization, or municipality that published the document knows who authored the document, then follow guidelines for Known Authors (Sections (A) or (B), as applicable).If the corporation, organization, or municipality that published the document does not know who authored the document, then follow the guidelines for Pseudonymous/Anonymous Authors (Section (C), above)
2. Literary, dramatic or musical work, or engravings
(A) Published/publicly performed/communicated to the public before (last) creator's death Single Known Author/Creator: Enters the Public Domain 50 years after death of creator.Multiple Authors/Creators (i.e. joint authorship): 50 years after the death of the last surviving creator/author.
(B) Never published/publicly performed /communicated to the public at time of (last) creator's death Was the work created on or after December 31st, 1998?
(a) If yes: Enters Public Domain 50 years after the death of (last surviving) author/creator.
(b) If no: Was the work published/performed/communicated publicly prior to December 31st, 1998?
→ If yes: Enters Public Domain 50 years after date of publication.
→ If no: When did the (last surviving) author/creator die?
– After December 31, 1998: Enters Public Domain 50 years after the death of (last surviving) author.
3. Images
a) Photographs (physical prints, not versions published in other media like books, online etc.)
Under the Copyright Modernization Act, the determination of whether a work is in the Public Domain is determined in reference to the life of the individual author (i.e. photographer). Prior to November 7, 2012, the term of copyright in photographs was dependent on whether the "owner" of the initial negative or plate (or, where there was no initial negative or plate, the initial photograph) was an individual or a corporation.
(A) Photographs taken on or after November 7, 2012
Enters Public Domain 50 years after the death of (last surviving) author; see and apply Sections 1(A)-(D), as appropriate.Note that the rules concerning Posthumous Works do not apply to photographs.
(B) Photographs taken before November 7, 2012 Photographs taken before 1949 are in the Public Domain.For photographs taken in or after 1949, was the owner of the initial negative/plate/photograph an individual or a corporation?
(a) Individual: Enters Public Domain 50 years after death of (last surviving) creator.
(b) Corporation: Was the creator of the photograph the majority shareholder of the owner corporation?
→ If yes: Enters Public Domain 50 years after death of (last surviving) creator (an individual).
→ If no: Was the photograph taken in or after 1962?
– Yes: Enters Public Domain 50 years after death of (last surviving) creator (an individual).
– No: Entered Public Domain 50 years after creation (i.e. now in the Public Domain).
Note that the rules concerning Posthumous Works do not apply to photographs.
b) Photographs and illustrations in books
Copyright ownership of photograph/illustration is stated in the book Enters Public Domain 50 years after death of (last surviving) author of photograph/illustration.
Copyright ownership of photograph/illustration is not stated in the book Enters Public Domain 50 years after death of the author of the book.
4. Cinematographic works or a compilation of cinematographic work
Published Enters Public Domain either 75 years following the year of publication, or 100 years following the year of creation, whichever term is shorter, provided that it was published prior to the expiry of the copyright term for unpublished works
Unpublished Enters the Public Domain 70 years following the date of creation.
5. Government Publications
Federal government publications are protected by Crown Copyright Enters Public Domain 50 years after publication. Does not fall into Public Domain
Provincial government publications are protected by Crown Copyright Enters Public Domain 50 years after publication. Does not fall into Public Domain
Municipal government publications are not covered by Crown Copyright. Instead, works created by employees of a municipality are the same as any other work created by an employee for an employer (this can include departmental memos, policy documents, artwork, manuals, guidelines etc.). The municipality owns the copyright. For information about determining authorship of municipal publications, see Section 1(E), above. For information about determining authorship of municipal publications, see Section 1(E), above.
When determining whether or not a foreign work (from a Berne Convention country) is in the Public Domain in Canada, the first step is to determine whether the work would be in the public domain if it had been published in Canada.
If the work would have been in the public domain if published in Canada, it is in the public domain in Canada. If the work would not be in the public domain if it were published in Canada, check to see whether the work is in the public domain in the country where it was published.
If the work is in the public domain in the country where it was published, then it is in the public domain in Canada. If the work is not in the public domain in Canada nor in the country where it is published, then the work is not in the public domain.
Therefore, if a U.K. author passed away 60 years ago, his work in the public domain in Canada, but not in the U.K., where works do not enter into the public domain until 70 years after the death of the author.
If a country has a copyright term that is less than 50 years, say 30 years, then the work will be in the public domain in Canada after 30 years.
If you wish to use a work that originated in a country that has not signed the Berne Convention, then you should seek permission from the copyright holder.
If you have any questions about the above information, or if you would like assistance in determining whether or not a foreign work is in the Public Domain in Canada, please contact us at copyright.services@ubc.ca.
Copyright comes into effect as soon as a work is expressed in a fixed form (e.g., paper, film, or digital media). If a work subsequently undergoes significant alterations, however, then the result may be considered a new work with a separate term of copyright and different copyright ownership. Accordingly, even if an original work is in the Public Domain, modern reproductions of that work may still be protected by copyright.
A good example of this would be Shakespeare's plays: although copyright in his plays expired long ago, many of the published editions of his plays contain added original materials (such as annotations, translations, footnotes, prefaces etc.) that are protected by copyright because the authors have used skill and judgment in creating the new material. This creates a new copyright in the additional original works, but not in the underlying text of the original work.
To use another example, the painting of the Mona Lisa is in the Public Domain, but a photograph depicting the painting can count as a different work with a separate term of copyright if the photograph has sufficient originality. If that photograph is subsequently published in a book, moreover, then the published version of the photograph has yet another term of copyright (namely, that of the book in which it was published).
For this reason, it is always important to ask (1) which expression (e.g., version or edition) of a work you are using and (2) when was that expression published or created. The answers to these questions are essential to determining whether or not the work is actually in the Public Domain.
When using works from public websites and other online resources, it is also important to check whether there is a "Terms of Use" agreement or other legal notice governing how the works can be used. For more information on this, please see the section on Public Domain on the Web.
If you would like assistance in determining whether or not a work is in the Public Domain, please contact us at copyright.services@ubc.ca.
Many websites provide access to digital reproductions of works that are in the Public Domain. For instance, the websites of museums and art galleries often include online collections of images, and many of these images depict manuscripts, paintings, sculptures, and other creative works that are in the Public Domain.
Although the act of digitizing a Public Domain work is not itself sufficient to create a new, copyrighted version of the original work, it is important to exercise caution when using such digital reproductions, as they are often made available subject to terms and conditions in legally enforceable license agreements.
More specifically, if a website's terms of use specifically restrict the ways in which you can use the website's content, then these restrictions would prevail over your right to use that content in accordance with the Copyright Act. For example, if a museum's website includes an image of a painting that is in the Public Domain, but the website's terms of use prohibit you from copying or distributing the image, then you must abide by this restriction.
This is also true of license agreements for electronic resources accessed through UBC Library: although ARTstor includes thousands of images of works that are in the Public Domain, the ARTstor license agreement governs how these images can be used.
For a list of websites that provide access to works in the Public Domain with permissive terms of use, please see the section on Public Domain Resources.

Arson cause of New Years fire-Stalker free on bond
Associated Newspapers · January 17, 2019
Jan. 17, 2019 PLYMOUTH EAGLE.
Plymouth Michigan News
Don Howard
The cause of a fire that destroyed a Plymouth Township home New Years Eve has been determined as arson by investigators from the Michigan State Police.
Homeowner Patrick Michael Nolan facing aggravated stalking charges
The owner of the home, a former Northville firefighter, is currently free on bond and is facing aggravated stalking charges after he allegedly stalked a woman using a helicopter and discharged a firearm.
Patrick Michael Nolan, who was arrested on Jan. 4 without incident and arraigned before 35th District Court Judge Michael J. Gerou, has posted the required $50,000 bond and is free until a scheduled preliminary examination, set for Jan. 25 before Judge James A. Plakas.
Terms of Nolan's pre-trial release state he must wear a GPS tether, have no contact, threaten, harass or bother the victim.
Northville City Fire Chief Steve Ott said Nolan was employed with the department for just over a year, from August, 2017 until September, 2018. He said Nolan resigned from his rank of firefighter.
Plymouth Township Police Chief Tom Tiderington said that Nolan has not been charged with arson in the fire on Sheffield Court but that Michigan State Police investigators have concluded that the fire was deliberately set.
Nolan, and his estranged wife, Sarah Nolan, are listed on the web as the owners of Priority One, an emergency service equipment supplier located on Belleville Road in Canton Township. The company sells and installs equipment for police vehicles.
Following the house fire on Sheffield, Canton Police were informed by a source that Nolan was responsible for the fire at the home, according to police reports.
Court records show a long list of violations by Nolan against the victim who had a court ordered Personal Protection Order (PPO) against him. He allegedly made a death threat against the victim in 2014 and used a helicopter to harass her in May of 2018. He was arrested on suspicion of discharging a weapon in June and failed to appear for a July 6 court appearance on a violation of the PPO. He was arrested on a bench warrant July 20.
He was sentenced to four months probation and ordered by the court to undergo mental health screening in November, but failed to comply with that order or other conditions of his parole, according to police and court records. The PPO was extended by the court from Nov. 15 until Nov. 27 and Nolan was served with the notice Nov. 13 at the Sheffield address, according to court records. During a Nov. 30 court hearing, his probation was extended until Feb. 12, 2019.
Those violations and the fire at the home prompted the victim to contact police with fears for her safety. Police said that the victim is terrified of Nolan and "terrified of what he's going to do next," according to reports.
The victim and Nolan were separated but living in the same residence until she moved out in 2015. She told police that Nolan had been ordered by the court to sell the Sheffield house by August 2018. When he failed to comply, the court intervened forcing the sale. She said that he was to receive all the proceeds from the sale. A court hearing to remove her name from the mortgage and title to the home was set for last Friday. She claims that Nolan is under investigation related to a $1 million payout on an insurance claim in Oakland County and that the insurance company placed a lien on the home that burned New Years Eve.
According
to the victim, Nolan has hacked into the business
phone system and into her cell phone. She claims he has shut down utilities at the business and closed several company bank accounts, canceled credit cards and has parked cars near her residence to harass and frighten her. She said she has moved four times during the legal process but that he has located her each time. During the last hearing in November, he asked the court to provide her residence address so that he knew how to avoid violating the PPO.
Michigan State Police said the investigation into the arson is still under way.

I wanted to write a quick post on my outfit for a recent wedding! Weddings are always really good fun and a great excuse to get a new outfit or even just get dolled up a bit more than you usually would!
I mentioned in a previous post (you can see that here) about me having a soft spot for peplum skirts! I picked this lovely skirt up in the Asos sale. I did get it taken up an inch or two. I am quite petite and feel it swallowed me up a bit! I was certainly happy with the final result!
Looks very lovely. I like very much your skirt.
