Liverpool Current Squad – 2016/17
The Kop Times | Liverpool Fan Blog | Opinions & Transfer News
Liverpool fancied to keep rolling at Tottenham Hotspur
Ramble Of The Day
Saiyed Adeem Karim
Liverpool visit Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday aiming to continue their relentless march towards a first ever Premier League title.
The Reds head into weekend with a 13-point lead over Leicester City, with reigning champions Manchester City a further point adrift in third place.
With a game in hand on both teams, Liverpool are massive favourites in the Premier League odds to end their long title drought.
Manager Jurgen Klopp will be hoping for better news on the injury front this week after seeing James Milner limp out of the FA Cup clash with Everton on Sunday.
The 24-year-old picked up a hamstring injury early in the game and could be doubtful to face Spurs this weekend.
Defenders Joel Matip and Devran Lovren may be fit enough to rejoin the squad, while midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri is also set to return.
However, Fabinho and Naby Keita are unlikely to be back until later this month, while Nathaniel Clyne remains a long-term absentee.
Spurs also have ongoing injury issues, with Hugo Lloris, Ben Davies and Danny Rose still on the sidelines.
Manager Jose Mourinho's biggest headache is the absence of Harry Kane, with the striker ruled out for at least a month with a hamstring problem.
Tanguy Ndombele is also doubtful after suffering a hip injury against Southampton on New Years' Day and he is unlikely to start against Liverpool.
Having successfully negotiated the FA Cup tie against Everton with a much-changed team, confidence amongst the squad will be high for the Spurs game.
Their recent record against the North London club is excellent, with Spurs winning just 12 out of 45 meetings in all competitions since the turn of the century.
Liverpool beat Spurs 2-1 in the reverse fixture back in October and will fancy their chances of completing the double this weekend.
Spurs' form had improvedsince Mourinho replaced Mauricio Pochettino, but they were deservedly beaten in their last outing at Southampton and it's difficult to imagine them troubling Liverpool.
The fixture kicks-off a tricky looking run of league games that the Reds will be eager to navigate safely over the next few weeks.
They face Manchester United at Anfield on January 19, before visiting Wolverhampton Wanderers the following weekend.
Klopp's side will then visit West Ham United on January 29 for the game that was rescheduled due to their participation in the Club World Cup.
Given their current form it would be no surprise to see Liverpool record four successive victories and that would set them up perfectly for the final few months of the campaign.
With the Champions League and FA Cup also up for grabs, Klopp will be keen for the Reds to maintain their momentum.
The have looked a class apart this season, but their lead could be eroded if complacency is allowed to set in.
A victory this weekend would provide the ideal platform for the next few games and Liverpool look a banker bet to pick up all three points.

Massey who is the current head of medical services at Liverpool will leave the club on March 1st to take up a position at FIFA.
Having been at the club for almost seven years, Massey has played a key role in the Reds being one of the fittest teams in the league.
O'Driscoll is widely recognized as being one of the best in his field and Arsenal are determined to keep him at the Emirates.
Driscoll has been at Arsenal since 2009 and is one of the old guards who has survived various culls.
He has held lead positions with the British Lions and Ireland rugby team. He should now welcome the chance to work for the European and World Champions. (h/t Metro)
Hailing from Manchester, Driscoll could welcome a return to the North-West of England to Merseyside.

The multi-year partnership, beginning from June 1, 2020, will see Nike manufacture and supply Liverpool 's playing, training and travel wear.
The club were recently involved in a legal battle with New Balance, who have supplied the kit since 2015. The Reds won the High Court battle after New Balance tried to sue over alleged refusal to honor the terms of the reported £40million-a-year deal.
New Balance had the option to renew the sponsorship if it matched the terms of any competitor's offer, but failed as the court ruled that they could not match Nike's marketing and distribution ability.
From being dropped by Adidas in 2012 tp being courted by Nike in 2020, The Reds have come a long way in their clout to attract the best. Success both on and off the pitch doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon.
fans were delighted with the news and took to Twitter to express it.

Will Takumi Minamino be a Success at Liverpool?
The Premier League leaders have leveraged their relationship with Red Bull Salzburg again by securing the signature of Japan international Takumi Minamino. After winning the Champions League, the Merseyside champions refrained from entering the transfer market and had a quiet spell before the start of the Premier League campaign.
With Minamino available for a steal £7.25m, Klopp wasted no time and got the 24-year-old to put pen to paper to secure his services to the club, but with such a plethora of talent available to the club will the Japanese midfielder be a success at Liverpool?
Where are all the world-class Asian players?
Whisper it quietly but in some ways, Asia remains the last continent still failing to produce world class players on a regular basis. Whether it's that they're still a decade or so behind in terms of coaching and facilities or whether it's that Asian players just haven't been given the chance, their presence at Europe's top clubs are few and far between.
Yes, Shinji Kagawa has had an excellent career at Dortmund despite that disappointing spell at old Trafford and Heung-Min Son has been brilliant at Tottenham for a while now, but that's not many examples of top-class players from a continent that loves the game.
There may however be a new member of that club very shortly and at Liverpool, under the guidance of Jurgen Klopp and surrounded by world-class players who can help him become even better, Takumi Minamino has every chance of being talked about as one of the sport's most exciting talents.
How did Minamino get here?
The 24-year old has spent the last four years as a winger or attacking midfielder for Red Bull Salzburg. 199 appearances for the Austrian club yielded 64 goals and 44 assists, an extremely credible return, even though some may be quick to point out that standards in Austrian football aren't particularly high.
But you can only do well against the teams you're up against and it should be remembered that he netted twice in six games in the Champions League this season, one of those at Anfield as part of a remarkable comeback from 3-0 down to get it back to 3-3. Mo Salah eventually saved Liverpool's blushes in what was one of the more entertaining matches of the Champions League so far this season.
Obsessed with football since an early age, he often speaks of the 2002 World Cup (jointly hosted by Japan, of course) as a major influence in his career. That was the World Cup of the original Ronaldo, the Brazilian at the peak of his career and elected Player of the Tournament.
Minamino was to idolize the Brazilian, imitating his moves as best he could and watching hours of videos to understand how he became the player he did. There will never be a player quite like Ronaldo ever again – Minamino is currently a long way away from him in a physical sense as much as anything else – and they play in different positions, but watch some clips carefully and you can see the influence of the former Barcelona man on Liverpool's new signing.
Like most young players, his youth years were spent at his local club, in his case Cerezo Osaka, where players in the senior team included the aforementioned Kagawa. He reveals that training sessions were gruelling and it wasn't unusual for players to leave the pitch vomiting but he's a better player for them and his pace and stamina can be partly put down to those torturous afternoons at Osaka, however much they hurt at the time.
85 appearances over two seasons saw him score an impressive tally of 17 goals for one so young and having shown the world of football what he could do, it was time to move on.
The highlights of his career at Red Bull Salzburg were a semi-final appearance in the Europa League where Marseille eventually got the better of them in the 2017/18 season and a hat-trick over Rosenborg in the Champions League in 2018/19. It was arguably these performances with the eyes of the world watching, rather than those in the Austrian League, that really got the scouts excited.
The Liverpool Move
In an era where clubs think nothing of dishing out 80 million on a centre-back just because he plays for England (Harry Maguire, of course) and where a teenage forward with one season of professional football under his belt goes for 114 million (Joao Felix), imagine how excited everyone got when they found out that Minamino was available at just 7.25 million, thanks to a release clause.
Forwards are more expensive than other players at the best of times and at 24 he has the double benefit of experience under his belt and plenty of years ahead of him. No wonder Liverpool couldn't believe their luck when he opted for them over other suitors.
He arrives in January and crucially, he won't be cup-tied in the Champions League thanks to UEFA's new rules.
Where does he fit in at Anfield?
To start with, the answer is probably: on the bench. The holy trinity of Salah/Mane/Firmino were the ones who won Liverpool the Champions League title last spring and who have got them in a position where the Premier League is theirs to lose. They'll remain Jurgen Klopp's preferred front three and probably the ones who, barring injury, play the big games.
But that's not to say that Minamino isn't likely to get his fair share of game time. It was a minor miracle that those three plus Dirock Origi were just about the only forwards that Klopp used when winning the Champions League last season and he's unlikely to be quite that lucky on the injury front once again. There are some exciting football odds on offer for this year's edition and you'd be pretty foolish to rule out Liverpool defending their title.
Minamino's big trump card might be his versatility. He's unlikely to play in the central role that Firmino excels in but he can certainly play on either wing. That means that the absence of Salah and Mane could see him feature out wide, while if it's Firmino who doesn't play, Salah could easily occupy the central position as has been the case in the past, allowing Minamino to slot in at Salah's regular position on the right.
Or is he just limited to a place as one of the front three? Klopp himself suggested that with good passing skills, pace and mature positioning, he may yet also thrive as a 'number eight', the more advanced of a middle three. That seems a little less likely in the near future because of the extra responsibilities from a defensive standpoint but it may certainly be an option in a couple of years' time.
But before getting too excited about it all, it's worth suggesting it probably won't be plain sailing from the word go. Minamino will have to improve his English, adapt to a league where every week there's a team gunning for your blood and go through the experience of not having many minutes on the pitch at times, something he hasn't been used to over the past few years.
But if his pacy runs, accurate finishing and dribbling are anything to go by, he may be just the sort of player to be Salah's natural successor. These are exciting times not just for Liverpool but for Japanese football, too.

Science at the Nano level offers the prospect of vastly increased accessibility and utility. The atomic molecular domain contains the very building blocks of objects that exist and function in time and space. The nanoscientist of today is likely to hand off to the bright-eyed science professional of tomorrow a discipline and body of knowledge pregnant with opportunities, eliciting innovative exploration and fraught with unknown risks. As the infant in the womb, the time of nanoscience has apparently come. Whether we are ready or not it is here. How will we treat this infant science of "small things"?


How long have you been doing photography? What style or genre most interests you? I have had photography as a hobby since I was a child, and since 2005 I have worked as a photo journalist. I have to do all sorts of photography, but I am most interested in shooting provincial Russia.
Can you give us a short description of your city? Where is it located? What is it famous for? Omsk oblast is located in Siberia, at the geographic center of Russia. Omsk is a huge city with a population of over a million, but all you ahve to do is drive 50 kilometers and the population density falls of rapidly. The main income source for the megalopolis is the oil processing plan. Since the taiga is nearby, the wood processing industry is also rather big here. Siberia is also known for its severe cold (to minus 40 degrees) and it summer mosquitoes.
What is something about your city that only locals would know? 200 years ago, the [now] world famous writer Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky was sent to Siberian exile in Omsk. Another of Omsk's "calling cards" is the city's hockey team, Avangard. In 2006 the legendary Yaromir Yagr even played for them. Omsk is also famous for its metro, which does not actaully exists. There are stations, even a metro bridge, but no metro cars travel there, because for 20 years now they have been unable to finish the system, though they promise to every year.
Which places or sites are a must for someone to see if they visit your city? The five lakes and village of Okunevo, the place where, according to legend, lies the "world's navel." Each year on the summer solstices (June 21), representatives of various religions come her to collect its energy. And less religious people come here simply to rest and luxuriate in virginal nature.
There is also Belovodye, a grandiose ice village that is built before New Year's directly in the center of Omsk.


Have a big family? love cooking? Or simply searching for a new toaster oven? You can see many expensive toaster ovens in the market with many more budget models. If you don't know how to choose the perfect oven for a reasonable price or you don't believe there can be high quality ovens at a bargain, then you should read our review.
In our survey we've found that money doesn't always mean quality and we will demonstrate how you can have the best toaster oven without forking out a lot of cash. We will acquaint you with our review of the top 9 best toaster ovens. We will look at essential characteristics which a good oven must possess to serve well in your kitchen.
After reviewing the features, we will select the best model of toaster oven and clarify our decision to potential purchasers. You will be able to buy a worthy product for you and your family.
What is a toaster oven and what is it used for?
Toaster ovens are small electric ovens with a front door, wire rack, and a removable baking pan. To toast bread with a toaster oven, slices of bread are placed horizontally on the rack.
Even if you have a large kitchen, a toaster oven is useful for heavy-cooking holidays, when you need to cook and warm several dishes at different temperatures at the same time.
Are you looking for a toaster oven that can make beef jerky or steam vegetables? Do you need a countertop appliance for making pizza? You can use a toaster oven for almost anything, from reheating a slice of pizza, to broiling a chicken.
What is the difference between a toaster oven and a conventional oven?
A toaster oven is much smaller than a conventional oven. Conventional toaster ovens are somewhere in between a toaster and convection ovens. Toaster ovens are useful for toasting food that is too big for a toaster, such as croissants, muffins and thick bagels. A toaster oven is also more energy-efficient than a conventional oven for tasks such as warming up small pastry dishes or pizza slices.
However, toaster ovens take up a lot of kitchen counter space, while conventional ovens are usually built into the kitchen counter. Also conventional ovens cook food faster and more efficiently than a toaster oven.
But it's still up to you which oven type to choose for your kitchen.
What to look for in a good toaster oven?

CipherTrace Detects Major Uptick in Cross-Border Payments to Offshore Crypto Exchanges
There has been a 46% rise in cross-border payments from U.S. crypto exchanges to offshore exchanges since early 2017.
There has been a 46% rise in cross-border payments from U.S. crypto exchanges to offshore exchanges since early 2017, posing an ostensible quandary for regulators
Disclaimer: A CipherTrace spokesperson informed Cointelegraph that these numbers are subject to change as new information becomes available, and some numbers have thus been changed.
There has been a 46% increase in the number of cross-border payments from United States crypto exchanges to offshore exchanges since early 2017, posing an ostensible quandary for regulators. The data was reported in the latest cryptocurrency AML (Anti-Money Laundering) report from crypto intelligence firm CipherTrace, shared with Cointelegraph on April 29.
According to CipherTrace, an analysis of 164 million bitcoin (BTC) transactions revealed that cross border payments from U.S.-based exchanges to offshore platforms rose from 45% in Q1 2017 to 66% in Q1 2019.
As the report argues, the increase represents a potential difficulty for U.S. authorities, as these proliferating cross-border transactions may elude domestic oversight. CipherTrace notes:
"Once these payments reach exchanges and wallets in other parts of the globe, they are invisible to US authorities. For now, it is uncertain if these cross border inter-exchange payments trigger the FinCEN requirement that 'the MSBs must keep a five-year record of currency exchanges greater than $1,000 and money transfers greater than $3,000.'"
Despite the regulatory uncertainty such a trend represents, MSBs — money service businesses — are however advised by experts to retain tax ID/SSN for these transactions, the report adds.
CipherTrace's crypto AML report tackled a broader gamut of challenges in the crypto sector, finding that crypto exchange thefts and hacks have incurred losses worth $356 million so far in 2019 — allegedly on track to hit $1.2 billion by the end of the year.
It further addressed an expected wave of forthcoming AML and Counter-Terror Financing regulations to be introduced crypto assets worldwide this year — notably including in the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and Japan.
In the wake of recent, fresh controversies over stablecoin Tether (USDT), CipherTrace has also highlighted the fact that over 20 other unregulated stablecoin assets exist in the sector, raising concerns over transparency and prospective shortcomings in due audit processes and asset insurance coverage.
Last year notably saw a precedent set by new, regulated stablecoins, such as the Winklevoss twins' gemini dollar and Paxos' paxos standard, both of which are licensed under the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act and have secured a BitLicense regulation from the New York State Department of Financial Services.

2nd Place, Good Job Girls!
The Economic Philosophy of Basketball: What's more important? Letting everyone play or winning? Capitalism encourages competition and promotes the good of the individual over the good of the whole. Socialism values the good of the whole over the good of the individual. But often what's best for the whole and the individual are the same.
Sportsmanship: Last November Ava wanted to play basketball, but Sno-King Sports had no coach. I put my name in, and Grace's friend's dad (coach Hollow) also volunteered. Ava and others had never played and lacked Basketball IQ. No surprise. Thus three goals: 1) fun 2) learn the game 3) sportsmanship. Winning did not seem as important. We first battled the Purple Flames, went down 14-2 at half (See Female Superiority, Girls Basketball Style) on the way to a loss. We then beat the hapless Fireworks, and preceded to get clobbered, 29-6, by the Killers.
Coach Marx: How can every girl have equal fun? Sitting on the bench is not fun. Neither is losing.
"From each according to her ability, to each according to her need." – Karl Marx: The rules state every girl must play one full quarter and sit one full quarter. To play the stronger girls three quarters and weaker girls one would increase chances of winning. But this Catch-22 would hurt the weaker girls, who need playing time to improve. In the same vein, girls with poor ball handling skills need to handle the ball to improve.
Coach Smith: Losing to the Killers, down 22-2 going into the fourth quarter, was not so fun. The Killers had not lost in three years, and their girls had mostly played together. On our team, we had a few "walking turnovers," and went long stretches without a shot. This had to change. As fun as socialism might be, it was no fun losing 29-6, especially when our girls could compete. The good of the whole had been compromised.
"No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable." – Adam Smith: Letting everyone play and handle the ball equally led to the suffering of the team. No more Mr. Nice Coach. Coach Hollow and I changed tactics. All girls had great attitudes, but some had more aggressiveness and skills. They would get more responsibility. We beat the Purple Hornets, beat the Fireworks, and every girl played at least two quarters, a happy marriage of capitalism and socialism.
Then we played the Killers. Team defense and stronger girls handling and shooting the ball gave us a chance to win in the fourth quarter. With three minutes to go in a close game, though, for the first time, we substituted girls who had not played two complete quarters. And we won, 17-15.
Socialism for practice. Capitalism for the game: We continued our philosophy, adding winning as a goal. If you try your best and lose, this cannot be helped, and you can still learn. But losing without maximum effort is neither fun nor productive. In practice all girls got equal attention, not only that, but the weaker girls got extra attention.
The Championship: In the final game the Killers did not underestimate us, and won, 25-20. But our girls did their best. The lessons: Sports combines fairness, competition, and character; looking out for teammates, effort, improvement, and trying to win. Socialism and capitalism do not have to be at antipodes, for the good of the whole and the individual combines sharing and competition.

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. - Michael Moore won a round Tuesday in a court battle with the brother of Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols, but the plaintiff's lawyer said she is considering whether to take the case to the Supreme Court.
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Ohio sided with a Michigan-based federal judge who in 2005 threw out James Nichols' suit accusing filmmaker Moore of libel and defamation in the Oscar-winning movie "Bowling for Columbine."
Nichols, a Michigan soybean farmer, contended that statements in the 2002 film could lead viewers to believe he was involved in the bombing. He also claimed the film invaded his privacy and inflicted emotional distress.
But a three-judge panel ruled unanimously that U.S. District Judge Paul D. Borman acted properly in rejecting the lawsuit. Borman found that Moore's statements about Nichols were "factual and substantially true."
Stefani Godsey, attorney for Nichols, said she would discuss with her client whether to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case.
Moore's attorney, Herschel Fink, said it was gratifying that two federal courts had turned away challenges to the accuracy of the film, a withering commentary on guns and violence in America.
"It's especially important because in this film, as well as 'Fahrenheit 9/11' and other instances, critics have claimed that his reporting is inaccurate," Fink said.
Godsey said that Nichols received hate mail and death threats after "Bowling for Columbine" was released.
Terry Nichols is serving two life sentences without parole for his role in the April 1995 bombing, which killed 168 people. Timothy McVeigh was executed in 2001 for masterminding the attack.
Agents raided James Nichols' farm two days after the bombing, after his brother and McVeigh were identified as suspects. James Nichols was arrested and held for 32 days, then released for lack of evidence.
He was indicted on charges of helping his brother and McVeigh detonate small bombs on his farm, but the counts were ultimately dismissed.
In his suit, Nichols said that the charges were unrelated to the Oklahoma City attack but that "Bowling for Columbine" suggested otherwise.
"We're not generating enough angry white guys to stay in business for the long term."--Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S. Carolina.
"Racism is America's Original Sin."--Francis Cardinal George, former Roman Catholic Archbishop of Chicago.
Very unlikely the Supreme Court would accept this case.
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
RebLem wrote: Nichols, a Michigan soybean farmer, contended that statements in the 2002 film could lead viewers to believe he was involved in the bombing.
So could the jury verdict.
Only if it had been a documentary.
I can't stand Michael Moore, another big Leftist Liar (how do they make so many of 'em?), but I do have to give him some kudos for the way he stuck it to Rev. Fred Phelps, that most un-christian of "Christian" spokesmen.

Legal challenges to new clean water protections in Iowa raised by the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation and other groups are "without merit" and should not move on to trial, a judge in the Iowa District Court for Polk County ruled Friday.
The protections, known as antidegradation rules, limit the harmful effects of new pollution in Iowa's waters. They require the Iowa Department of Natural Resources to consider how new pollution in an area might harm uses of the water like drinking, wildlife habitat, and outdoor recreation when the agency issues permits allowing new pollution discharges. Different standards of protection apply to different waterways based on their existing quality, and the protections are stronger in places where the water is more pristine.
"We were thrilled to finally see Iowa adopt these protections two years ago, and today we are celebrating again because the court has recognized the Farm Bureau's legal action for what it is—an obstructionist attempt to achieve in court what they could not accomplish in the rulemaking process," said Marian Riggs Gelb, the Iowa Environmental Council's executive director.
Gelb said the ruling is a major milestone on Iowa's path to effectively implementing the federal Clean Water Act, 40 years after Congress passed it in 1972. The Environmental Protection Agency called on Iowa to improve its antidegradation policies in the late 1990s, and it took over a decade for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources to finalize the rules.
The Farm Bureau, working with the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association and the Iowa Water Environment Association, argued that two members of the state's Environmental Protection Commission (EPC), Iowa's environmental rulemaking body, should not have been permitted to cast votes in favor of the proposed rules when they came before the EPC in 2009.
In addition, the Farm Bureau and its collaborators alleged the rulemaking process was flawed in other ways, but the court disagreed, finding no "genuine issue for trial" amid the arguments presented.
Susan Heathcote, who also serves as water program director for the Iowa Environmental Council, was one of the two commissioners under scrutiny. The opponents alleged that Heathcote's role at the Council, an environmental policy organization, created a conflict of interest that should have prevented her from voting on the antidegradation rules.
Brad Klein, Senior Staff Attorney with the Environmental Law & Policy Center who represented the Iowa Environmental Council, an intervener in the lawsuit, said Friday's ruling has broad implications for environmental protection in Iowa.
Further, the court found that the specialized expertise Heathcote brought to the Commission made her more qualified to serve there, not less so, and pointed out that the state law creating the EPC in fact requires members to have knowledge of the areas of law their work will affect.
Gelb said that in addition to threatening important water quality protections for Iowa, the lawsuit has been a way for opponents of environmental protection to attempt to intimidate the Iowa Environmental Council and other environmental groups.

Latest COVID-19 Statistic Throws Cold Water On Dems' Constant Fear Mongering
By Eric A. Blair August 21, 2020
The percentage of those dying from COVID-19 is plunging in most states across the country as doctors learn more about the virus and treatments improve.
Across the U.S., the case fatality rate (CFR) has been dropping for weeks — in some states for months. Despite breathless reports that hospitals have been overflowing and people dying in droves, the data doesn't support the claims.
"In Arizona, about 5 percent of those who tested positive for the coronavirus by the end of May died. The case fatality rate now is about half that figure," The Hill reported. "In California, the rate stood at 4 percent in late May, and is now 1.6 percent. In April, 7.5 percent of those who tested positive in Minnesota died, a rate that has fallen to 2.7 percent, according to The Hill's analysis of state data."
One reason the CFR is dropping because the people now contracting the virus are younger and healthier, so they're more able to fight of the virus — which is highly contagious but often brings only mild, flu-like symptoms. Plus, testing for the virus, which is now widespread, is identifying the infected more quickly, which means they can get treatment.
Bill O' Reilly Sends Desperate Plea To Republicans
The left is desperate for him to stay quiet, so share it before it's taken town...
At the height of the pandemic, which occurred in April, some of the worst affected were put on ventilators. "Now, some doctors said, fewer patients are being intubated, and the sickest patients are being treated with drugs like remdesivir and dexamethasone, treatments that can help lower the risk of death," The Hill reported.
Doctors are also using more basic methods like proning, in which patients lay on their stomachs. That method helps them access more of their lung capacity, preventing suffocation that comes with fluid buildup caused by pneumonia.
"I think we are getting better in treating COVID-19. The experience that's been acquired over the past few months by those individuals who have been laboring with incredible determination and energy in ICUs have made it possible for the people who we were losing maybe back in March and April in the terrible outbreak in New York are now being saved," Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, told The Hill in an interview. "There's a better understanding now about how to keep people off of ventilators, unless you absolutely have to because of all the complications that ensue at that point."
The virus's main vectors of transmission have shifted, too. In March and April, outbreaks in assisted living facilities targeted older people who were more likely to have the underlying conditions that led to the worst outcomes.

Robert Haumer (12 May 1949 – 25 June 2021) was an Austrian musician, who was briefly the leader of early prog rock band Zakarrias, and was sometimes known professionally as Bobby Hammer.

Life and career
Haumer was born in Vienna, and in the late 1960s played bass in local psychedelic rock band Expiration, who released a single, "It Wasn't Right", on the VRC label.  He then moved to Munich, where he met English drummer John Lingwood and, through him, guitarist Huw Lloyd-Langton who had recently left Hawkwind.  Together they formed the band Salt, and were managed by Israeli poet and singer Samy Birnbach.  The band rehearsed together for several months in Munich, performing songs co-written by Haumer and Birnbach, before moving to London where they recorded an album of demos at Olympic Studios.  However, they could not gain a record deal as neither Haumer nor Birnbach had work permits.

After Lloyd-Langton and Lingwood left, Haumer met producer Roger Watson, and succeeded in winning a solo recording deal with Deram Records.  He re-recorded his material under the name Zakarrias, with a hastily-formed band comprising Peter Robinson (keyboards, formerly of Quatermass), Geoff Leigh (saxophone, flute), and Martin Harrison (drums).  The album was recorded with Watson at Decca Studios, with some arrangements by Don Gould, formerly of The Applejacks.   The LP, Zakarrias, was issued by Deram in October 1971 and featured a sleeve photo by Daniel Volpeliere-Pièrrot.   However, it was commercially unsuccessful, and relatively few copies were made, resulting in the album later becoming a collector's item.

Remaining unable to obtain a work permit and so promote the record, Haumer and his wife returned to live in Switzerland.  He later formed the Bobby Hammer Band (BHB), who recorded new wave material in Vienna in the early 1980s, and as a solo performer released a version of "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" in 1987.  The album Zakarrias was later issued on CD on several occasions.

Haumer died in Austria in 2021, aged 72.

The last right vs. right challenge was the big 'moving from pc to mac' debate. I remember going countless times to Dan's for him to print this, or do that because my dinosaurs just couldn't cut the mustard. Now, just know, this wasn't a PC issue entirely.
To be fair… I was working with old (unfunky) junk. Three PC systems including two downstairs to be exact. 5. Yes… 5 computers. Mickey moused and taped together.
But ultimately, Dan finally just got tired of hearing me squawk and TOLD me to move to the mac system because of how it transformed his own work production.
I honestly thought I'd never give in. But the day came when I'd had enough myself and needed to walk from a bad situation into the unknown, hoping and praying it was right. Because it didn't much matter where you went for advice. The PC guy likes his stuff better, and the Mac guy thinks his is the best. So, who's right anyway?
This poll told me everything I really wanted to know. Who would know better than someone having used BOTH systems? It was a given. So I went to Dan's and he built the list on what I needed.
Twighlight zone day approached and grabbing my wallet, I head to this unknown environment in the Abbotsford BC Canada location. But with my list in hand, there was nothing to fear. It was a done deal.
The system was easy to order because although you can tweak a few components to suit, basically a mac system comes as package A, B or C, etc. That narrowed things down ALOT. It was honestly the easiest most painless purchase I've made to date. Choosing which dog food to switch to next proved to be waaay more difficult.
I immediately felt… elation? Just walking into the store itself told me I was making a high end purchase. But that could possibly stem from having NOT walked into a computer store for nearly 15 years. Gah… I was a little overdue, no?
Service was absolutely awesome. They knew their stuff and I could get everything I needed in one location. Yes, even the PC stuff I purchased for it. Now THAT was pretty cool and unexpected.
And then I got the call to come and pic up the 'miMac.' 🙂 Squeal!!
And by golly I was gonna make room in this heap to get it home too! Right on top of new found pallet wood (of course) and that dog food I was talking about.
Holey moley this monitor was BIG! But I was use to it in about 30 seconds. Honestly. And I started to play. And play some more. With no manual reading.
I was blogging like I always have within 30 minutes. The hardest part was just figuring out where tool commands were as they are simply located in different areas. Once I knew, windy breeze time!
This guy (Dan) was my walking manual after all. I ran into glitches loading Parallels. (a program that allows windows software on a mac) I even broke out the manual for that one. Dan figured out it was a dud dvd and downloaded the online version. Ah… didn't think of doing THAT.
Oh good grief. Are you KIDDING me?!? The monitor clarity is unlike anything I've ever seen. Turn your head to the side and look outside for a moment. Now pretend that very picture is on your computer screen. Because that is EXACTLY what you see. When I have a photo as my desktop, the monitor looks like a window.
I have purchased a good LED PC monitor but it doesn't even come close to the Mac LED.
FYI: LED beats LCD. No competition. Get one and you'll soon see why. The lighting is brighter, truer, sharper, warmer.
I forgot why they even MAKE smaller monitors. What's the point? Go for the jugular and finally see what you're doing. You'll LOVE it!
The monitor itself sold me on trying out the entire system bar none. Teeny weeny fonts on screen look as clear as big ones. You honestly will NOT believe your eyes. No more jagged edges.
My first impression of glossy glass monitors was negative. Until I got one. Once illuminated, the glare does not jump back at you like it did in the computer stores. Must have something to do with sitting and looking at it at the proper perspective. I LOVE it and have long forgotten about the glossy screen.
In fact, I now prefer the gloss. Especially when it sleeps. It looks sleek and new like the glass in front of your oven. My pc non gloss variety next door looks dirty in comparison.
LOVE. Love love LOVE!!!! I was able to take this thing camping and use it as a computer AND TV. Fabulous! Although this guy was a tad heavy to lug. Leaving it in the trailer was the answer.
Oh my this thing is slim and tiny. And I fought it. I switched back to the PC one for awhile but I couldn't live without the nifty scrolling feature so I switched back. At times I feel like it's abit too slim for my hand, like there just isn't quite enough of it to grasp properly for complete control. But I've officially removed the pc mouse and am going with it.
I do find that it's got a weird quirk of scrolling when it wants to the odd time. If I'm browsing pictures, suddenly my screen will totally buzz through about 10 of them. I generally let go of the mouse and it stops. No idea why it does that and it's abit unnerving when it does. There ARE other mouse choices so I may investigate that one day. But I LOVE the scrolling feature.
Your work surface needs to be the right one so it glides right. I use a plastic like mouse pad and it works wonderful.
And, you can set it to right and left click too. But it isn't a default. Took me abit to figure that out. And you now have to have more rechargeable batteries on hand. But the mouse takes awhile to drain them so it's long forgotten until it quits. Only then do you remember what a pain batteries are. 🙂 But the wireless feature makes it worthwhile.
"Why is the keyboard so small?!?" is the first thing I hear from others. And I use to be a part of that club. But no more.
I chose the smaller keyboard. You can purchase the wider ones with the cashier style numbers to the right.
In some ways, I wish I had gotten the larger version as the keyboard tends to wander around on the desk. I don't know why. It's heavy enough to stay put for certain. Maybe because it IS so small, I tend to think moving it is no biggie when I do other things. But I'm always straightening it before using it. Honestly, it could be a tad heavier to compensate for the size imo.
Other keyboards are avail but I chose to stick by this one. For now. It came with the system. I'd purchase the larger keyboard outright if I were to do this again. I think. But I admit I like the extra room on the desk so maybe not. Guess I'll have to invent something to keep it in place better.
The keys took awhile to get use to. Now? I can FLY when I type. The old style keys now appear to take great effort to push down. Strange how that happens. I now feel I can type faster, but my fingers commonly lose ground on position, like a laptop keyboard. No idea why. Probably because the keyboard is so small and tends to move around on the desk. I need the position 'just so' in order to really go to town, kwim?
Incidentally, to screen shoot on a Mac, it's command / shift / 4 to select, or command / shift / 3 to full screen shoot. And it automatically goes to your desktop. I can live with that. But where's the keyboard command?!? Pretty please?
There are MANY very cool features that come for Mac. If you think you'll be doing without on this system vs what PC gives you, you'll be thinking wrong. The Mac stuff is easier to use. WAY easier. Once you figure out what is where, you'll wonder why you fought with Windows Movie Maker vs iMovie as only one example.
Usage wise, I stuck to what I knew for quite awhile. Once I was proficient with the blogging part, I slowly loaded up my PC drawing program CorelDraw to see how it played with the system on Parallels.
I have to be honest here. I haven't figured out a decent transition between both worlds yet. I think my Corel 9 version was possibly too old to work on Windows 7, but I don't know for sure. But I will say, I'm VERY tempted to switch to all mac based programs just to remove glitchy delays. It doesn't solve working alongside my 'work pc's though so I'm still mulling that one over.
If your computer is on it's way out, I highly suggest to take the mac leap. Especially if it doesn't have to talk with PC based software you already have on the go.
You are NOT severely limited to what you can do with the mac platform. I was wrong. I can do MORE. I had no idea. Mac versions are available for 99.9% of what you'd normally use. And more than not, you'll love the programs better than what PC offers because they're easier to use!
Next on the wish list is a mac laptop although I immensely dislike laptops. Hate their keyboards and small screens. But will I be sold on the Mac version? That remains to be seen.
p.s. I'm glad he was though and am very grateful! Thanks for wanting the best for me, Dan!
How about you? What do you like/dislike about your Mac?
Could you put a piece of carpet "slip not" under your keyboard to keep it from moving?
Katie, I had my iPhone long before the mac. 🙂 LOVE it too!!
Donna buy a roll of shelf liner that new stuff and cut the size you need for under keyboard…problem solved!!
I want a Mac… the next time we have to buy I think that is what we will go with. I have only played at little with them at the store, but everyone I know that has one…..raves about them. SOLD!
Dan forgot to write the other AND BETTER side!!
One of the first computers I owned was an Apple, back in the day. Green screen, sorta dos like commands. Then PC became so affordable, Windows was everywhere. Well, I converted back to MAC and couldn't be happier. No viruses. Ease of use. The whole bit. Love them.
At home I have the 27″ mac, My husband and I share the MacBook Air, and my son has a MacBook for school (seriously, the school gives EVERY SINGLE high school student a macbook to use, ALL YEAR!). Then I go to work and have to look at my stupid double screen and do my print/publication work on a darn PC. "Our operating agreement wouldn't work on a Mac." Ugh. So, I go home and I'm happy again! 🙂 haha.
Ok, that does it for me! I saw one about 6 months ago and just about died….it was so beautiful, a really small key board and mouse! More desk space. And really the price was not a whole lot more than what I spent on my hp. Mine is just a little over 3 years now so it might be a bit before I get a Mac but having Vista makes me want to throw this one out the window, almost daily! 🙂 Thanks so much for the review!!!!
Oh Donna I am SO Loving my mac! I bought a macbook a few years back after my sister (in college for teaching!) kept insisting to me how Macs just make sense.
I had glitches, viruses, slooooowness -you name it on my pc's after a short amount of time. I was so frustrated and sick and tired of restarting- resetting-etc. etc. etc.
My mac DOES make sense! I switched over and immediately fell in love! My hubby got one too and we have both have iphones- which make way more sense with a mac, too! We are definitely a mac family now. Seriously, the service, the way the computer works, everything.
They also have great discounts for students/educators. They really are the best.
I am so glad you joined the MAC family!! YAY!!!
This post is very timely for me. I recently had computer problems and have been contemplating switch to a laptop. The question is what kind. I have never used anything but a PC so "moving to the other side" seems scary. I enjoyed this article and will remember your advice when I finally make my decision.
Glad you made the switch. I've had my 27″ iMac since last March or so. Was using Mac laptops for years before that but I really love the big monitor for mural work. I've even added a 2nd monitor so I can slide my Illustrator tool boxes over there, gives me more room to look at the art. When I first fired the iMac up I thought this monitor is Too big but it's not really.
Just wondering if you happened to purchase the iWork software suite with your Mac? I never use MS office anymore…I just don't like the design of window's software. Too many "features" and tabs and hidden things to locate. I either work in the iWork suite or create a document in Illustrator and then just save a copy in the PDF format. I find that I could delete Corel and wouldn't miss it at all!
I've used both and I made the switch last fall and I love my beloved, er … imac …. it is very intuitive and use friendly. The ONLY negative thing I can say is that everything isn't written for the mac.
I hope you enjoy your new Mac. Me, I hate using Mac it's not very compatiable with other sites and what I want to use for digtial scrapping. I'm defintely going back to a PC.
Love our Mac, if you turn the button on the wireless mouse off each night, saves your battery time. I just keep a pile of dollar tree ones nearby. I still have trouble getting use to the delete button being backwards from word.
i second dan's comment, welcome to the other side! you'll love it. i'm a former pc user and i would never go back! love love love my mac!
Well, I just purchased a new beastly laptop…custom made and on it's way, but I went with a PC. I thought about a Mac, but honestly, I have over $600 in PC software and I didn't want to have to buy it all over again.
Miss Mustard Seed…..now that Macs are using an intel chip you can run Windows XP or Window 7 on the Mac (in Bootcamp and or Parallels) and use all your existing software. And from what I've seen, some apps run faster on the Mac than on a PC.
Yay! I've been waiting for this review. I was one that told you to just stop thinking about it and get it. I've used macs since 1989. But have used PCs at work occasionally…and HATE them. They are like driving a jalopy (pc)compared to driving a jaguar(mac). And it has been this way since the first time I used a pc. I heard all the talk about how they were better but I'd started on mac. So I used a pc and no, it is not better…it freezed all the time and I had to keep restarting. And it was slow and I couldn't have all my programs open. And this was suppose to be a top of the line pc at the time.
Well, I'm happy to say that I didn't have to use the pc for long at my job…till I convinced them to get me a mac. Then all was good. I will have nothing but a mac in my home. I have a new imac that I use everyday and an older powerbook that I used to use everyday. I'd love to have a mac laptop so that I could blog from the sofa but I'm pretty in love with this huge screen of my imac.
I'm so glad it worked out for you…but I was sure it would.
Yes, you have gone to the other side. And it's so much better there.
Oh – exciting! We're considering this too! I only had time to skim your post but making a note/bookmarking to come back to read thoroughly!
I totally want to switch when my PC blows out… You did not mention Viruses and stuff like that at all. I hear Mac's are much less likely to catch something, less targeted for once. I'd love to get your thoughts on that!
Maya, I haven't had my system long enough to offer up good working knowledge in that area. However I've heard Macs CAN get viruses, but it's very rare. Gotta LOVE that!
MAC, MAC, MAC!! For two geeks we had no computer at home until 2003 since we could use the PC at work. 2003 saw me working from home and IHAD to get a PC since it could "talk" to the work computer. Argh! I was a MAC girl in college (1990) and was responsible for the computers in my college and dept. as well as the liasion with the mainframe for the University. However, I was the ONLY Apple user in my dept. I loved my little apple and she saw her way to travel home with me and on a trip through Yellowstone since I had to write my revisions for my thesis on my trip home. No this was not a lap top. I had to move table s around in cabins that leaked when it rained, find a extension cord and pull the ground out since the "motel" in the park only had two prong plugs and finally I had to move my room from the histoic lodge area to the more modern lodge near Old Faithful since the historic lodge did not have an electrical outlet in the room. Lets just say that the staff that worked that summer at Yellowstone knew my story by the end of the week, because I kept getting asked why I had a computer on vacation. That was 1992! Now days we have the old Gateway PC horse that keeps on trudging along and is good for word processing (albeit slow as molasses) One Macbook 2 yrs old, 1 new Macbook Pro, Ipad, 4-Itouches, 4 shuffles, and 2 nano's (1 is missing since vacation-where are you?) We are a MAC family and we will (when the time is right ) be getting a new iMac too. The horse needs to go on to greener pastures or is it a cow (remember the box)? Thank you for sharing and listening to me.
I have the last generation macbook pro on snow leopard. I moved from a PC not long ago (my bf gave me his old mac when he got the new pro). It is the best thing thats ever happened to me.
The system is sooo easy to use. Everytime I touched a PC it would break and I blamed myself. Turns out it was the PC being rubbish not my computer skills.
Within about 2 minutes I could use a mac nearly perfectly. My BF then told me some shortcuts (apple Q to quit etc) and 1 min after that I could use it perfectly.
I took it home with me on a trip and showed my parents. My dad can barely switch a PC on and yet within a few minutes of messing around he was using a mac like a pro.
I think the macbook advert should be like the Ipad advert and say "you already know how to use it".
🙂 great review. I cant wait till I have a house with room for an imac.
I have never worked with a Mac! So I can't say about which I like better. At least you have given me something to consider when I need a new computer.
I have a MAC. I do love it but sometimes I find there are still things and places that aren't compatible. I will tell you one thing though. The biggest myth is that mac's don't get viruses. Not true. You still have to get an anti-virus program. They just get them less. After having my PC totally crash, I will never go back, but I will also be protected to the hilt.
Awesome!!! I'am a Mac girl and love it so much.
I just changed over to MAC this week! I'm loving my 27″ all in one!
I'm still trying to figure it all out but so far it has been a breeze compared to a PC.
As much as I love my iMac (I'm a through and through Mac person – started off on an Apple IIe back in the 80's) I LOVE LOVE LOVE my MacBook Pro. Seriously, don't judge using a laptop until you've tried a MacBook.
I fought getting a laptop, too. But now I love it. 17″ MacBook Pro is what I recommend. I've had it for four years without any problems. It connects easily to your apple monitor.
P.S. The command key is the one with the apple on it.
My husband is a computer nerd and made me take his Mac laptop when he got a new one for work. Reluctant…I caught right on and love it.
Thanks for this excellent post! I'm bringing hubby in so he can read it too!
Welcome to the club! I've owned an Apple computer since we bought our first one in Jan. 1980. I would never, never buy a PC and I don't use any Microsoft software. I love my iMac. Wish I could afford an iPad in addition! One thing you might consider is to see if there is a Macintosh User Group in your area. The one I belong to is great and we love to have new "switchers" join!
Donna, I'm in the researching process of getting a laptop, we now have an ancient PC. The fact that you said the buying process was easy has me very intrigued. While doing my research I have become more and more confused by all the options and what exactly I need. I do have a question for you, why do you dislike a laptop? just the size?
Doris, yes, it's because of the small size. I now have a mac lap top as well and it's nice, but the bigger screens on the macs are just better with clarity, viewing, everything.
Either way, both mac screens are far superior to any PC screen I've ever viewed. I'm extremely happy with my choice!

5 Things You Need To Know About the UberEATS Strike by Callum Cant

5 Things You Need To Know About the UberEATS Strike
by Callum Cant
On Friday, drivers for UberEats – the new food delivery platform from Uber – will go on strike for the first time ever. Following soon after the recent Deliveroo strike, these disputes represent exciting developments in new forms of political action at work.
1. Strikes without restrictions.
The precarious nature of the gig economy was once thought to be a barrier to militant action. But if anything, these new strikes show the potential for massive and spontaneous displays of workers' power in this new work environment.
A normal, legal trade union dispute can turn into a strike in a minimum of a month, going at top speed. Exchanging letters with employers, postal ballots, independent scrutineers and notice periods all combine to pour water on workers' organisation and take precious time.
In getting rid of all the protections guaranteed by law in order to allow increased exploitation, companies like Deliveroo and UberEats also got rid of all the legalistic restrictions on workplace organisation that protect them from grassroots militancy.
This means the only kind of action left available to workers is the wildcat strike. They don't need to ballot, they don't need to give notice, they don't need to comply with any special laws – they just stop answering calls and making deliveries. For these new militants, precarity is strength.
2. Crap pay.
The drivers' grievances are mostly around wages. When UberEats was first recruiting drivers, the company poached people from Deliveroo by offering above average pay. But since then, pay has been cut and cut. At the moment, UberEats driver are paid per delivery (this is called piecework), with no guaranteed hourly income. Deliveries can be paid at either peak or off-peak rates.
Drivers don't get paid if an order gets cancelled whilst they're on their way to pick up or deliver it, and they don't get paid for the time they spend waiting at restaurants, which can be up to 30 minutes. In some cases, drivers have worked an entire day and earned only £9 (£5 after subtracting the cost of petrol).
3. Collective bargaining.
UberEats knows two weekends of bad service could be ruinous for a fairly new platform. That's why, as soon as managers started to hear rumours of a strike they began to try and bring influential drivers in for individual negotiations. The drivers refused. Just like Deliveroo workers before them, they will only accept collective bargaining. It looks like Uber is running scared.
4. Strike network.
Drivers are communicating through the encrypted messaging app Telegram. Unlike Deliveroo riders, who shared common 'meet points', UberEats drivers have no meeting points built into their work. Instead, drivers have been looking out for other UberEats drivers as they travel around London, recruiting them on the roadside to join the strike network. But despite this barrier, the network is still growing rapidly. Drivers estimate that there are between 200-300 UberEats drivers in London, the majority of whom are now part of the strike network.
Petross Elia, general secretary of United Voices of the World (a militant, grassroots union supporting the strikers) expressed his excitement at this new wave of militancy in the gig economy: "The totally spontaneous and autonomous nature of this action is what makes it so exciting. It's not really organising as we know it – it's something else entirely.
"They're not following any of the strategic rules. They do what they want, and it works."
5. Strength from precarity.
Deliveroo and UberEats drivers are now meeting and discussing coordination. If this kind of action can spread out of London and to other companies, then it could begin to generalise into a really significant movement against crap pay and crap conditions.
We're witnessing the birth of new kinds of strike action, which break many of the long held assumptions about how to organise and win at work.
If you want to support the UberEats drivers, join their picket at the Uber offices right next to Aldgate East tube station, on Whitechapel High Street any time after 11am on Friday – but particularly from 5-7pm.

Freelance Work Has Always Been Precarious, Not Aspirational. Coronavirus Has Made That Clear
With the government's most recent measure to support self-employed workers leaving many with no support at all, the dangerous and uncertain nature of freelance work has been exposed, writes Sophie McKay.
Coronavirus Shows How the Government Fails Precarious Workers
The government's new job retention measures have received widespread praise, despite ignoring the needs of millions of vulnerable workers on insecure contracts who are exempt from the benefit. Novara spoke to three workers about how their lives and livelihoods are being impacted.
'We Are Not Lying Down': The Teachers Leading France's Strike Wave
The government's proposed pension reforms have triggered a wave of strikes across France. One group that will be particularly hurt by the reforms is teachers. Olly Haynes spoke to some of them about the impact of such changes.
The Deaths of Gig Workers Are Not Freak Incidents, but the Result of a Brutal Business Model
Homeless drivers, fatal crashes, suicides and other violent incidents are now the norm in the so-called gig economy. But with a government that cares precious little about labour rights, workers themselves will have to take up the fight for themselves, writes Phil Jones.

Q: Qt how to create bitmap from data from QVector and show it on widget? I'm wondering how I can create bitmap from my data and show it on my widget.
I have QVector vector, which is vector of some points to draw chart. How I can repaint it on my widget but with using QBitmap? I don't want draw simply on widget, I prefer pass the pixmap to widget, just to show it.
How can I do this?
My code:
QPainter painter(pixMap);
painter.setPen(QPen(Qt::black, 2));
painter.drawPolyline(this->data.data(), this->data.size());
painter.drawLine(QPointF(5,5),QPointF(50,50));

setPixmap(*pixMap);

Here is my sample code. Why it's not working? I can't see anything on widget.

I have widget class
class Widget : public QLabel
{
  public:
    Widget(QVector<QPointF> * data);
    ~Widget();
  protected:
    void paintEvent(QPaintEvent * event);
  private:
    QVector<QPointF> data;
    QPixmap *pixMap;
};

In constructor I have
 Widget::Widget(QVector<QPointF> * data){
   pixMap = new QPixmap(300,300);
   pixMap->fill(Qt::red);
 }

And in paintEvent
void Waveform::paintEvent(QPaintEvent *event)
{
  QPainter painter(pixMap);
  painter.setPen(QPen(Qt::white, 2));
  painter.drawPolyline(this->data.data(), this->data.size());
  painter.drawLine(QPointF(5,5),QPointF(50,50));
  setPixmap(*pixMap);
}

If I replace QPainter painter(pixMap) with QPainter painter(this), I can see my chart. But I want to use pixmap.

A: I think so, but I wasn't sure without full code, now I am absolutely sure. You should do standard processing of paintEvent. So try this:
void Waveform::paintEvent(QPaintEvent *e)
{
    static const QPointF points[3] = {
        QPointF(10.0, 80.0),
        QPointF(20.0, 10.0),
        QPointF(80.0, 30.0),
    };
    QPainter painter(pixMap);
    painter.setPen(QPen(Qt::black, 2));
    painter.drawPolyline(points, 3);
    painter.drawLine(QPointF(5,5),QPointF(50,50));
    setPixmap(*pixMap);
    QLabel::paintEvent(e);//standard processing
}

But I think that you don't need paintEvent at all, then you can totally remove paintEvent from your class or do
void VertLabel::paintEvent(QPaintEvent *e)
{
    QLabel::paintEvent(e);//in this case you don't need paintEvent at all, remove it from cpp and header files
}

and in constructor:
   pixMap = new QPixmap(300,300);
   pixMap->fill(Qt::red);
   this->resize(300,300);
   static const QPointF points[3] = {
       QPointF(10.0, 80.0),
       QPointF(20.0, 10.0),
       QPointF(80.0, 30.0),
   };
   QPainter painter(pixMap);
   painter.setPen(QPen(Qt::black, 2));
   painter.drawPolyline(points, 3);
   painter.drawLine(QPointF(5,5),QPointF(50,50));
   setPixmap(*pixMap);

The time of the Yellow Pages Directory is rapidly passing, and even in Bath more people than ever are turning to their computers to look for the goods & services that they are looking to spend money on. Having a presence on Google is now essential if you wish to grow over time. However, owning a site alone isn't enough. Even the smartest website will achieve next to nothing if it doesn't have visitors. So the thing to consider is, how do you get traffic to your website? This is where a good online marketing firm like ourselves come into play.
A intelligent internet marketer will be able to look at your site and the product and services that you are offering, then best advise you on what plan of action you should take in order to get all-new customers.

If you are interested in getting new customers through the internet, why not contact us either through our 'Contact us' page, or by phoning us. One of our team is standing by keen to help you.
Edit Optimisation began as a simple internet marketing company operating out of London. At a time when there was exceedingly minimal understanding and comprehension regarding how the search engines ranked websites, and originally specialising in search engine optimisation, Edit quickly grew, which was directly due to the growth of their customers. It was the perfect arrangement; the greater Edit Optimisation's customers did because of the conversion of more customers gained through the web, the more money they could pay in to their internet promotions campaign with Edit. The more money the clients invested towards Edit performing new internet marketing campaigns, the more shoppers they received from the world wide web.
As Edit Optimisation became more popular, they started to take on clients nationwide, working for clients in areas such as Bath and Wiltshire. After providing an SEO service for one of their very first clients in Bath, and making them successful, they were praised to other corporations in the Bath area and therefore popularity exploded rapidly. Again, the guys at Edit Optimisation thrived on providing a good service.
A major aspect to their high rate of customer satisfaction is their extensive know-how spanning nearly every facet of internet marketing. Whilst they made their mark as a firm through organic search engine optimisation (seo), they promptly expanded to provide their services as SEM consultants, and of course, they additionally provided pay for click services. Maintaining low rates for consultancy, they found out, was a really good way to acquire new sites, by giving first-class, truthful, frank advice, usually at no charge. Their PPC arrangements adjusted, and they promptly revolutionised how much their clients paid for Google Adwords and Pay per click to make their costs highly competitive, both in the context of money, and ultimately the standard of work completed. Actually, a few of their original clients to come on board as PPC customers worked from the Bath area and were very pleased with the service we provided.
Essentially, they found that in the end their clients transferred over to search engine optimisation from PPC.
