One of the most important page of your website is the one you welcome your audience with. Homepage is the first page that opens up to your target audience when they visit your website, make sure it's the best. It is pointless to create an informative website that sells good products if it fails to grab customer's attention in a glance. On an average, most visitors spend 8 seconds to skim through the homepage of a website, which decides whether they will browse the entire website or return in disappointment.
The first thing that customers reads on your Homepage is the tagline that gives them an idea of what you do. Come up with a tagline that lingers in their mind even when they leave your website. A tagline should be easy to remember and straight-forward. A unique tagline can help you stand out in the market in the toughest competition.
Your homepage should talk about the problems your customers are facing. Displaying the benefits of your products is less engaging and concerning. If your customer is convinced that you care, they will certainly move to your product page to know more about the products you are selling. Include the areas that your products will work around to make their lives easier. Your content of the homepage can be more casual than formal. Most people visiting your website may not have time and patience to read big information, make sure the information provided brief than descriptive.
Don't let the customer feel lost when they visit your website for the first time. Give complete information that helps them stay in touch with your business for a longer period. Based on what your business does, direct customer to get in touch with you or sign up for your free tutorial, enquire about your products, sign up for your newsletter and more.
Most people who are visiting your website for the first time will not go for your products, they will probably look you up on social media, read through your reviews and then probably buy your product or services. In this scenario, staying in touch with your customer can help you transform a mere visitor to a potential customer.
Like we know, visitors dropping on your website for the website may not have a lot of time or patience to read through your products or services. Write short headlines that only sound awesome but also explain what your product does and how it can resolve their issues. If the headlines are interesting, the customer may end up reading the description as well.
You may have come across website that automatically play music as soon as you land on their homepage. If you're partnered with a one of the Best Website Design Company, they will never suggest you to incorporate music that automatically plays on your website. You may end up losing thousand and hundreds of potential customers that will instantly leave your website if they open your website during office hours or in a public area.
The most simple and essential part of building a website is coming up with a design that is extremely easy to browse. The top menu, also called the navigation bar, should consistently be visible on all pages of the websites so that it becomes easy for the visitor to reach any page.
Visitors will only turn into potential customers if they see credibility on your website. To prove that your website can be trusted, add press releases, media articles, customers feedbacks and certifications. You don't necessarily have to add these to homepage, you can also make a separate page to displays these.
If your customer likes your products on the homepage itself, make sure they don't struggle to reach out to you. Your company's details should be available on the most prominent places of the entire website, not just homepage. Add your contact details at the top of the homepage as well as the footer to make it easier for the customer. In addition, include links of all your social accounts such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and more.
Including positive and high quality images as a part of your homepage that represent how your products can be life saviour can help you engage your customers more than you imagined. Create a video that will help your customers understand your area of expertise. For instance: a lot of popular websites take in "how it works" videos on their homepage. Avoid making use of animation, they may take a little more time download.
If you are located in India, look for the Best Website Design Company in India that will help you select relevant images while designing your website.
A website should not only be friendly to the users but also to popular search engines like Google. Seach engines prefer website that use unique content on their entire website and use keywords that people mostly search for while buying products. These keywords must be included in the meta tags, the titles and the headings of your homepage.
Like we know, including fresh content and images that are names as per the keyword is what search engines love.
Look for a Website Design Company that is best at building the most creative yet user friendly website for your business to grow significantly. Create a homepage that quickly grabs the attention of your visitor and reduces your bounce rate significantly.

Partner Feature: Augustana University
April 13, 2021 | American Host Institutions , Augustana University
Ben Iverson, Director of International Programs & Enrollment at Augustana University
This month we are excited to highlight our host partner, Augustana University! Ben Iverson is an alumnus of Augustana and currently works there as Director of International Programs & Enrollment, where he serves as their Senior International Officer, overseeing international admission, international student advising, and study abroad. He also works on international partnerships, programming, development, and campus internationalization. Ben works alongside two amazing international student advisors, Erin Kane and Heather Reed, who provide excellent service for degree-seeking and visiting international students.
What does your orientation for international students involve?
Our international student orientation is a blast! It's one of my favorite times of the year. We spend the first 2-3 days on campus where we help students get to know people and places at Augustana. We cover cultural adjustment, academic expectations, compliance issues, and then we do lots of fun things with campus clubs and organizations. Last year, we did some rock climbing at a nearby state park, for instance, with the Augustana Outdoor Club. Later on in our orientation week, we take all of our students to the Black Hills in South Dakota where we see Badlands National Park, Mt. Rushmore, and Crazy Horse, and then hike Black Elk Peak.

We continue getting to know one another and covering important orientation themes while enjoying the natural beauty. All the while we're assisted by our Augustana Cultural Exchange (ACE) Ambassadors, upperclassmen who help us with everything from airport pickups to leading activities during orientation, and who often become our new international students' first American and international student friends at Augustana. It's a busy week, but it often stands out as a highlight of students' entire experience at AU, according to our survey results.
Can you briefly describe a handful of campus clubs, events, and/or programs that are designed with international students in mind?
Members of the Augustana International Club (AIC) on a float during Augustana's Viking Days (homecoming) parade.
Before the pandemic, we hosted a program called the Friday Rendezvous each week, at which a student or a group of students from different countries (and sometimes returned study abroad students, too) give a presentation about some aspect of their home country or culture. It is often a well-attended event and serves as a kickoff for the weekend as students make plans with one another after the presentation. During the pandemic, we've moved instead towards a podcast called The Window Seat in which we feature NPR-style interviews with our current international students, allowing our campus community to get to know our international students' stories in a bit greater detail.
Augustana is a small school with roughly 2,000 total undergraduates, of whom about 150 are international under normal circumstances. Still, our students are very active in our 100+ clubs and organizations. Some of the internationally-focused clubs include the Asian Student Organization, African Student Union, La Unión Hispana, and the overarching Augustana International Club, in addition to Better Together (an interfaith club), to mention a few. One of the most popular annual events that these organizations help manage is our World's Got Talent Show and Food Festival, normally held during International Education Week in the fall.
What is your favorite place on campus and why?
My favorite place is our campus Starbucks. It's a nice, relaxed environment with huge windows and lots of natural light overlooking our quad – the perfect place to meet up with students over coffee. It's also where we display the finalists in our annual international photo contest – an incredible visual representation of the amazing intercultural experiences our American students have abroad, and that our international students have in the United States.
Please share a positive takeaway or memorable story from your work with Global UGRADs.
I think my favorite thing about the Global UGRAD Program is the lasting impact and connections that the students seem to make. Social media helps us stay in contact, of course, but it seems like I regularly hear stories about our American students, alumni, or friendship families visiting their Global UGRAD friends overseas, and we're also regularly in touch with former participants who return to the United States for graduate school or other things. I've even met up with a few on my own travels abroad on behalf of Augustana. Global UGRADs are cultural ambassadors in the truest sense of the phrase, and they've made a deep impact on Augustana and in our local community.

The state-wide dawn-to-dusk hartal was called past midnight by the Youth Congress leadership through social media, hours after its workers -Sarath Lal and Kripesh - were hacked to death in northern Kasaragod district.
Roads and national highways were blocked in various places and state-owned buses were stoned as the flash hartal called by the Youth Congress, to protest the killing of two of its activists allegedly by ruling CPI(M) workers, began in Kerala Monday. The state-wide dawn-to-dusk hartal was called past midnight by the Youth Congress leadership through social media, hours after its workers -Sarath Lal and Kripesh – were hacked to death in northern Kasaragod district.
Normal life was not affected much in the initial hours of the hartal as it was announced late night and common people came to know about it very late. Youth Congress activists blocked vehicles in various districts including Kozhikode, Kollam, Idukki and Ernakulam.
KSRTC buses were pelted with stones by the protesters in several places. Shops and hotels also remained closed in many places. The state capital Thiruvananthapuram was exempted from the protest in view of the famous temple festival, Attukal Pongala on February 20, Youth Congress sources said.
University and school model examinations were postponed. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan also cancelled his various programmes due to the hartal, official sources said.
According to police, the gruesome murder of the two Youth Congress activists took place when they were returning home after attending a local function in Kasaragod Sunday night. They were stopped by an unidentified gang and hacked to death, police added. Though the opposition Congress lashed out at the ruling CPI(M) for the twin murder, the latter has categorically denied any role in the incident.
Soon after the incident, Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala had said the CPI(M) was trying to destroy the party using its goons. He had also alleged that the murder was a conspiracy hatched by the CPI(M) as the Lok Sabha elections are round the corner. However, CPI(M) Kasaragod district secretary M V Balakrishnan Master condemned the murder and denied his party's role in the killings.

Emil Brolick to retire as Wendy's CEO
By Kelsey Nash on Oct. 05, 2015
Emil Brolick will be succeeded as CEO and president of Wendy's in May by CFO Todd Penegor, the chain announced today.
Brolick is retiring, but will keep a seat on Wendy's board.
He will begin transitioning CEO duties to Penegor during the first quarter of 2016, Wendy's said, adding that its search for a new CFO is currently underway.
Brolick rejoined Wendy's in September 2011 as CEO, after leaving because he did not get the top job in an earlier transition. Brolick went to Taco Bell, where he served in a number of high-level positions as Wendy's unwound, losing sales and market share to competitors because of what critics said was a loss of focus. The franchisor had diversified, buying such fast-casual brands as Baja Fresh, Café Express and Pomodor. It also experimented with breakfast and flirted with a line of deli sandwiches.
RB readers want Brolick on list of 2014's best restaurant CEOs
Brolick, who has a marketing background, was brought back to refocus the chain on its roots as a mass-market burger-and-chicken chain promising better quality than its main competitors, McDonald's and Burger King. He steered the chain slightly upmarket, experimenting with premium sandwiches like a hamburger served on a pretzel bun. He even fiddled with the look of Wendy's mascot, a pig-tailed girl.
Emil Brolick on branding
The chain is still in the process of rolling out a new, more contemporary building design that was forged under Brolick's watch.
The moves he made have connected both with customers and investors.
A one-on-one with Emil Brolick at this year's RLC
"Serving our customers, employees, franchisees and shareholders has been one of the greatest privileges in my life," Brolick said in a statement. "I feel honored to have been chosen as a steward of Dave Thomas' great legacy for the Wendy's family, and I could not be more confident in Todd Penegor as the president and CEO of The Wendy's Co.. I believe Wendy's best days are yet to come."
Penegor is relatively unknown in the restaurant business, having joined Wendy's in 2013 after working for Kellogg's. He has held the CFO's job since 2013, and has also served as an EVP since December.
He was first exposed to Wendy's as a child; his father was a single-unit franchisee in Iron Mountain, Mich.

St. Jude patient part of NFL Draft coverage before Cleveland Browns' first-round pick
Jason Munz
The NFL called upon 12-year-old Fletcher Rollinson before the Cleveland Browns' first pick in this year's draft was announced.
A segment involving Fletcher, a St. Jude Children's Research Hospital patient and lifelong Browns fan, was scheduled to be shown Thursday night before Cleveland made its first-round selection.
The Browns held the 10th overall pick. This year's draft is being conducted without in-person attendance due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Fletcher admitted he was a little nervous when it came time to film his appearance, which resulted in "more than a few" takes.
"But, once I did it a couple times, the nerves just stopped," Fletcher said.
In July, Fletcher was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer — pineal parenchymal tumor of intermediate differentiation — which he proudly said took him only one night to memorize. He was admitted to St. Jude and had surgery to remove the tumor.
Over the next several months, Fletcher underwent a series of proton therapy and chemotherapy treatments. He completed treatment last month and his family has since returned home to Rocky River, Ohio.
Fletcher's treatment came after his father, Jamie Rollinson, was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor (acoustic neuroma) in February 2019.
"It was a whole new reality," said Megan Rollinson, Fletcher's mother. "It was Earth-shattering."
His dad said the family could not have overcome the challenges without the help of countless people.
"I think it was all the support we got from so many people and the outpouring of love and prayers and good vibes were unbelievable and humbling," Jamie Rollinson said. "That really carried us through."
Fletcher's lifelong fanhood culminated on Nov. 24. That's when Browns receiver Jarvis Landry invited his family to be his special guests for the Browns' home game against the Miami Dolphins.
Prior to kickoff, Landry autographed his warmup gloves and gave them to Fletcher — a moment that was caught on video by the Browns' social media staff.
"They posted it on TikTok," Fletcher said. "I got to meet Odell Beckham Jr. and Myles Garrett. And I met the whole offensive line. They were doing warmups and they came up to me and they all gave me high-fives. And I was like, 'Hi.' They were big."
Fletcher and Landry, who wore a special wristband for his young friend during the entire 2019 season, reconnected via Zoom Wednesday.
"He is one of the nicest people I've met," Fletcher said.
Fletcher and his family will make return trips to Memphis roughly every three months to monitor his progress. Between more visits to Gibson's Donuts and the staff at St. Jude, that's fine by Fletcher.
"St. Jude has done so much for me, so I want to give back in any way I can," he said.
The first round of the NFL Draft begins at 7 p.m. Thursday, while the second and third rounds are set to begin at 6 p.m. Friday. The final day of drafting begins at 11 a.m. Saturday.

C+GA's winning response to the Freedom's Gate competition resulted in a mixed-program building to create a new dynamic center in the city of Syracuse. The affordable supportive housing development south of the downtown area will consist of 54 units serving low-income families and individuals returning to the community from jail and prison. All residents will have access to community gardens, indoor-outdoor dining facilities, spaces for supportive services, a large commercial space and parking screened by photovoltaic arrays. The colorful façade and picture-sized windows create an engaging interaction with the street to help the Freedom's Gate project reinvigorate this section of Syracuse.

You have to dance your way to the finish in order for your character to claim the power of the Groovetron. You can attack up to two times in a round in order to try to throw off your opponent. The way you determine who is ahead is how the camera angle is during regular dance time (not solos or attacks).
The harder movements are located in the lower bar. Try to keep up with what the bar says, the better combos, the better scores. Check out Duane's tips for more on this.
High Scoring Moves! These are moves that can be preformed during solos. I found this list on the anime playstation site.
Perform these moves during each character's solo dance section.
Secret Characters Play through the game on normal and you are given the Capoeiras. Play the game through on hard to get Robo Z. After you have the Capoeiras and Robo Z, you can play through with Shorty to get Columbo and Hamm to get Burger Dog on the normal difficulty level.
Dance Preview Option Play the game through with any character in any difficluty level and you can get their dance previews.
Alternate Outfits To select a character with their alt outfit, push select and then "O". This also works in the dance preview mode.

Hello, my name is Helen Moss. Thank you for visiting the Secrets of the Tombs website.
This is me doing one of my favourite things (talking about books) in one of my favourite places (a book shop!)
I was born in 1964 and grew up in the beautiful rolling countryside of Worcestershire, interspersed with long visits to Saudi Arabia, where my father worked. There's a part of Saudi Arabia called the rub al khali. It means empty quarter. It's the biggest sand desert in the world. We lived on a farm not far from the edge of that bit. Before internet, Skype or mobile phones. It came in useful to have an overactive imagination!
I've always loved animals - 101 Dalmations was one of my favourite films
My favourite subjects at school were languages and sciences, and I went on to university to study Psychology and Philosophy.
While I was a student I had all kinds of jobs including being a waitress in the famous Ronnie Scotts jazz club (hard work, but fun) and trying to sell photocopiers over the phone (hard work and not much fun), but I left all that behind to study for a PhD in psycholinguistics at the University of Cambridge. After that I spent many happy years researching and lecturing on the way our brains process language and it how can be affected by brain injury and disease. If you are interested, you can find out all about the amazing research that goes on at the Centre for Speech, Language and the Brain in Cambridge.
I have always loved writing, and wrote my first book for children in 2007. It's not published yet, but I'm still working on it! Since then I have written a series called Superstar High (under the name Isabella Cass) and written the Adventure Island and Secrets of the Tombs series, published by Orion Children's Book, and Time Dogs series, published in the U.S. by Henry Holt and Co (Macmillan).
I also have an eighteenth-century mystery, The Mystery of the Pineapple Plot in an anthology called Mystery and Mayhem (published by Egmont) and have written several short mysteries for Rising Stars Reading Planet.
I'm very fortunate to be represented by Jenny Savill of Andrew Nurnberg Associates. I am a member of the National Association of Writers in Education (NAWE) and Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI).
I love going into schools to give talks and workshops and am very proud to be Patron of Reading for Kensington Primary School in Liverpool and Princethorpe Junior School in Birmingham and Author in Residence at Litcham School, Norfolk.
I'm proud to be the Honorary Patron for Linton Children's Book Festival in Cambridgeshire.
I am also a Book Buddy for Coupals Primary School, Haverhill, and a Book Pen Pal for Castlemorton Primary School and Great Malvern Primary School in Worcestershire and Brownlow Primary School in Leicestershire.
If you would like to find out more about my school visits, please see this page on my author website.
Hands up if you love reading!
Milton Rd Primary School on a VERY hot July afternoon!
I've lived in London, Glasgow and Oregon, but now live near Cambridge with my computer-scientist husband, two sons who are much taller than me, a pair of soppy old dogs and a flock of bossy hens.
When I'm not writing or feeding animals I like walking in the countryside with our border collies, Storm and Maia.When I'm not writing or feeding animals I like walking in the countryside with our border collies, Storm and Maia.

I want to show one decimal for each college's % of total but I want the 100.0 to show as 100. Is there a way to do this? I'm OK with losing the decimal sign next to the number if that lets me show the 100 in the Grand Total.
Unfortunately formatting Grand Totals differently than the data is not possible. At least not easily, here's a thread. I'm not sure the workaround would be worth the effort but it's up to you.
We dont have option to do in tableau,however there is workaround to do this.
First exclude grand total in the report and create separate tab for grand total like below and combine them in the dashboard.
combine both details and grand totals in the dashboard and format accordingly.
ShivaRam, Thank you - I ran into that page in my research as well and haven't had time to try to implement. It does seem like a lot of work for this and I will need to do this in almost every dashboard I build for enrollment. I'm going to Conference so I will put it in for an idea for a future Tableau upgrade.
Venkatram, yes, thank you for this. Not ideal but is a good enough work around for now. I do think Tableau needs to offer the separate formatting for the totals compared to the body of values. It seems to work if you only have one measure - but multiples measures in the table and the ability to format the totals separately disappears. I'm using 10.4 - not sure if the newer versions have this capability yet.

No one would have expected 2016 to be such an important year for gaming, but it could go down as one of the most historically significant years in the hobby's history.
The HTC Vive for Steam VR redefines gaming, and more besides. It's the closest thing to a Holodeck I've ever seen. And it's absolutely incredible.
Virtual Reality is not new, but it's finally affordable and within our grasp. After four year and two development prototypes, the final consumer edition of the Oculus Rift has arrived.
, Xbox Project Scorpio, and PS4 Pro are changing that in a big way.
These mid-console upgrades may fail and never happen again, and VR could end being a fad, but both of those seem rather unlikely.
That brings us to why we're here today: to dig into the PS4 Pro and figure out whether this is a huge upgrade to the PS4, or if it's just an intriguing experiment. It's not as simple as just saying whether or not it's a good console, as this is uncharted territory.
Don't worry, because we're going to get to the bottom of the whole thing together. And then we're going to give ours away: enter to win below!
With console compatibility with 4K & HDR becoming more common, should you buy an HDR 4K television for gaming yet? Here's an overview of how HDR 4K TVs currently work with gaming.
That means that, for the time being, the PS4 Pro is the most powerful console on the market. It also comes with a $399 price tag — $100 higher price tag than the Xbox One S. Of course, that's not an apple to orange comparison, because we don't know what the final price of Project Scorpio will be. We know it's supposed to be more powerful than the Pro, but we don't know by exactly how much.
Remember when I said all this is confusing? I wasn't kidding.
Everyone loves numbers, right? If you want every last detail of specs, check out this page from Sony that breaks it all down. For our purposes, we'll look at the numbers that'll actually mean something to you.
The main processor remains more or less unchanged, with the PS4 and PS4 Pro both using an 8 core x86–64 AMD "Jaguar".
Where the big step up happens is with the graphics card, with the Pro's featuring 4.20 teraflops of raw power compared to the original's 1.84. That's a substantial increase. To give you a little perspective, the newly-released GeForce 1080 GPU pushes 9 teraflops with a price tag of $650. The GTX 1070 pushes 6.5 teraflops and costs $399 (the same as PS4 Pro).
The closest PC GPU is the GTX 1060 and its 4.4 TFLOPs. That sells for $250, which is right about where you'd expect with the PS4 Pro at $399.
Both consoles featured 8 GB of DDR5 RAM, but the Pro is only available with a 1 TB hard drive (the original and Slim are available in both 500 GB and 1 TB models). With digital games getting larger and larger, having a bigger drive is important.
Some other notable changes include an extra USB port and updated HDMI that supports 4K.
An important spec that's missing from the PS4 Pro is support for Ultra HD Blu-ray movies. If this is meant to be the only box you have hooked up to your brand new (and probably expensive) 4K TV, not being able to take advantage of one of the few formats that are actually in UHD is quite unfortunate, as it forces you to miss out completely or take on another expense. The Xbox One S (and presumably Scorpio) do support the format, but the One S is less powerful than the Pro for games, so that's a tradeoff.
Are Video Game Developers Taking Online Security Seriously?
There's also Watch Dogs 2, Final Fantasy XV, The Last Guardian, and new releases going forward that'll have support for the PS4 Pro in some way.
All of those games have received updates in one form or another. It's that one form or another where things get confusing, because not only is it up to developers to decide whether they want to add PS4 Pro support to their games, it's up to them to decide which enhancements they want to add and what tradeoffs they want to make.
Confusion aside, there's a solid list of games available with improvements at launch, including some of the best-selling, highest-reviewed games on the platform. For our testing, we went with Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and The Last of Us Remastered, as Deus Ex was receiving mostly negative reports as far as PS4 Pro performance was concerned, and people seemed mixed on The Last of Us.
This is going to sound completely nonsensical, but in some cases, the PS4 Pro performs worse than an original PS4.
I started a new paragraph here so you have a second to let that sink in. The more expensive system actually runs a few games worse.
Thankfully, these issues are isolated, and it seems that it's an issue with individual games, not the console itself. I'm speculating here, but if I had to guess I'd assume that developers were rushed to get their Pro upgrade patches out, and they suffered from optimization issues while attempting to push higher resolutions and frame rates.
While reviewing the Pro, we picked up a copy of Deus Ex Human Revolution, and it definitely suffered from some frame rate issues that weren't a problem on the original console. However, during the process, Square put out a patch for the game that promised to fix the issues, and after a few more hours of playing, I didn't run into a single issue with performance.
Obviously that's just one example, but its good to know that with time, developers can create performance improvements that are noticeable.
We also spent substantial time with The Last of Us Remastered, and I found that it performed perfectly, and quite simply, it's the best-looking game I've ever seen on a console. Naughty Dog elected to give players the choice of unlocking the frame rate with a flexible resolution or locking the frame rate at 30 fps with 4K resolution. Personally, I preferred the higher resolution with the locked 30 fps, but they both looked and ran great.
A nice perk with the Pro is an improvement to loading times, and I definitely did see a difference, even if it was just a couple seconds here and there. In a game like Deus Ex, which has some pretty unpleasant load times and some fairly difficult parts, those few seconds really made for a much better experience.
For the PS4 Pro launch to truly be something I could feel comfortable calling a success, I would expect every game that received upgrades to run better. It costs more, and promises to make games look better — any time it doesn't, Sony has failed. Granted, most games see a jump, but it would be nice to see all games running better (or at least, the same).
As we go forward, it's hard to see if we'll see more or less of these problems. You'd think that developers would get better at optimization, but with the Scorpio coming along with a completely different level of power, it's hard to predict where this will end up.
If you want to get crazy with numbers, check out the Digital Foundry review that digs in hard to the technical stuff.
It's bigger in all dimensions, but none of the differences are huge. Unless you were literally using every millimeter of space to fit an original PS4, you should be able to fit the Pro anywhere the original sat.
The Pro is also heavier: the original PS4 was approximately 2.8 kg, while the Slim came in at about 2.1 kg, and the beefy Pro weighs 3.3 kg. Unless you're moving your console around a lot, or your TV stand is made of tissue paper, this shouldn't be an issue either, but it's still worth noting.
The Slim and Pro come with an updated DualShock 4 controller, but the differences are minor between it and the first iteration. Sony added a second light bar on the touchpad that you can actually see while playing. In some games, it will change color to reflect the game state. For example, in The Last of Us, when your health is low, the light is red. For people who were annoyed by the light on the original controller, adding another one is probably not what they were looking for.
For gamers who need optimal speed, the controller can now communicate with the console via USB. If you choose to play plugged in, you'll see a slight reduction in input lag. Your average player won't notice the difference here, but for competitive players in genres where every millisecond matters (such as fighting games), this could be a nice selling point.
, this will do nothing to change your mind.
Now, we land on the big question, and the one you've surely been waiting for: should you buy the PS4 Pro if you already have a PS4?
No. At the time of writing, it just doesn't do enough to justify the cost. A year from now, that could change, but time will tell.
If you're in the market for a PS4 (and you don't have one already), you might as well get the Pro, as the cost isn't much higher, and you're future-proofing yourself in the event that developers really do push the hardware and leave original PS4 players with sub-par experiences.
However, if you're in no rush, I'd really recommend waiting until we find out exactly what Scorpio is and how much it costs. This will let you get a better comparison between all of the choices.
Or you could just get a PC.

Kazatomprom to increase uranium production in 2024
Mid- and long-term contracts have given the Kazakh uranium producer the confidence to increase its uranium production in 2024 by 2000-3000 tU above expected 2023 levels, it said in its mid-year financial update. Although its primary shipping route via St Petersburg has so far remained available, the company intends to use an alternative route via the Caspian Sea later this year.

"Unprecedented" global economic uncertainty and significant geopolitical developments in the first half of the year have tested Kazatomprom's corporate risk management practices, Acting CEO and Chief Operational Officer Yerzhan Mukanov said, and risks to both mine development and uranium production from supply chain challenges remain significant.
"Although the uranium market has improved, with an increase in long-term contracting interest, a thinning near-term market, and substantially improved pricing, we believe the fundamental shift in the supply-demand balance is still underway, with an illusion of endless secondary supply, creating ongoing opportunities for Kazatomprom as a primary supplier that maintains a disciplined approach," Mukanov said. "Therefore, consistent with our market-centric strategy and accounting for evolving mine development and production constraints, we expect to increase potential production by about 2000 to 3000 tU in 2024 compared to our planned range for 2023, representing continued production discipline and a decrease of approximately 10% against our total subsoil use contracts level in 2024."
Subsoil use contracts are agreements with the Kazakh government covering the production of uranium by in-situ leach methods. Kazatomprom in 2017 announced plans to reduce production to align with market demand, and prior to today's announcement its 2024 production expectation had been set at 20% below the 28,691 tU for the year specified in the subsoil use contracts.
The decision to increase production is based primarily on the signature of mid- and long-term contracts with new and existing customers, Kazatomprom said: "The current contract book provides sufficient confidence that the additional volume in 2024 will have a secure place in the market and be needed to fulfil future contractual obligations."
Kazatomprom's 2024 production is now expected to be between 25,000 tU and 25,500 tU (on a 100% basis). Although the year-on-year production increase from 2023 to 2024 is modest, the current state of global supply chains may still present "significant challenges to any increase above current production levels," it said. It will now begin working with joint venture partners and mining subsidiaries to incorporate the required changes into its 2023 budgets and development plans. No decision has been taken regarding mine development activity and production volumes beyond 2024.
The primary shipment route for Kazakhstan's uranium production is via St Petersburg in Russia. Despite continuing geopolitical uncertainty, this route has so far remained uninterrupted and has already been used several times this year, Chief Commercial Officer Askar Batyrbayev said.
An alternative route via the Caspian Sea - which does not cross Russian territory - developed in 2018 is available, and the company intends to send at least one shipment via that route this year, he said. Shipment via this route might be "slightly more costly" than via St Petersburg.
"I guess we'll be using the Caspian route a little more frequently than we did before," he added.

Beth-El Synagogue
The circa 1964 Beth-El Synagogue was home to a shuttered Jewish Orthodox congregation on Long Island in New York.
Beth-El was an Orthodox Jewish congregation on Long Island that was founded in the late 1920s. 2 It constructed its first permanent building in 1930 and relocated to a much larger venue in 1964. Changing demographics forced the congregation to close in 1999.
The Jewish Heritage Center (JHC), founded in Flushing, Queens in 1987, had been teaching classes in many locations throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties. 1 Growth in the JHC promoted the search for a permanent location and opted to locate in the former Beth-El synagogue until structural problems with the building forced it to relocate.
Haas, Robin. "Teaching Jewish Heritage to Adult Jews." Newsday, 9 Nov. 1999.
Poliakoff, Ira. "Hicksville." Synagogues of Long Island.
Barry S Katz says:
I attended services at the original synagogue, about a mile away before this one was built. I attended Hebrew School and was Bar-Mitzvah'd in the new structure on New South Road, 2 blocks from my home. It was Congregation Sharei-Zedek's who's Rabbi Skaist was there at the time. I recall when the congregation declined he went to a synagogue in Brooklyn, somewhere Bath Beach or Bensonhurst. Hope this information fills in some of the blanks.

At HRI of Dallas / Fort Worth, we provide women suffering the devastating effects of female hair loss value and service that most hair restoration companies in the Dallas and Fort Worth area cannot. Our proven, client-oriented approach emphasizes privacy, discretion, one-on-one individualized attention, professional styling, undetectable results, and a totally natural look and feel.
When I came to HRI of DFW I was a bit apprehensive, not knowing what to expect or if the treatment/therapy would be able to help me. Shelly was very caring, informative and professional. She assured me that my hair loss could be reversed. Over the past several months, my desperation has turned to a wonderful joy as my hair is now beautiful again. I am so thankful for Shelly and her staff, for all the help they have given me. My prayers have been answered with the help of HRI of DFW. Thank you, Jesus!
"At HRI, our highest priority is client satisfaction, along with providing the finest hair restoration and hair restoration programs available.
Hair loss and thinning hair can have devastating effects on a persons life, their self-confidence, their relationships, and even their livelihood.
Our clients are people just like you: men and women suffering from hair loss and thinning hair, as well as all the related problems and issues that accompany hair loss.
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." As I would gaze at myself in the mirror, it was becoming clear that the pattern of baldness that was passed down in my family has now become apparent in me. I had tried various hairstyles and even purchased wigs, as my mother had done before me. But none of them looked natural. So it was time for me to investigate other techniques.
There was a good deal of embarrassment connected to this issue. I was to find that, once the search had begun, my self esteem had been severely affected by thinning hair. The embarrassment kept me from talking about this with friends. Perhaps I felt it would show how vain I was. Silently, the search was begun.
The first step was to look through the yellow pages. Being completely ignorant of the hair restoration process, I randomly chose three names and set out on my investigation.
The first stop was HRI. The presentation was thorough and professional, detailing the steps and cost and pictures of before and after. Though I welcomed the information, what came through to me most was the attitude of the owner. It was clear that she was a highly trained professional who felt strongly about what she could bring into people's lives. She came from an attitude of serving the needs of people like me who suffered a loss of self esteem from thinning hair. I threw away the other two names and made an appointment for the service.
I have enjoyed my hair restoration for over a year now and have been overjoyed with the results. My appearance certainly changed as has my self image. Within a couple of days, I no longer noticed that I had a hair system. It was so natural and the comfort level was almost immediate. Friends would compliment me on my new youthful appearance and my self esteem was renewed.
Making the decision to fix my hair problem was one of the best decisions of my life.
It gave me the confidence to advance myself in my career and in my life, and I know it will continue for years to come.

LawGlobal-Hub Lead Judgment Report
ADEMOLA, C.J.F.
The appellant has appealed against his conviction in the High Court of Eastern Nigeria holden at Calabar on an information containing two counts which are as follows:-
STATEMENT OF OFFENCE:
(1) Official corruption not judicial, contrary to section 116 (1) of the Criminal Code.
PARTICULARS OF OFFENCE:
GODWIN ANYIAM, on or about the 7th day of November, 1959, at Calabar in the Province of Calabar, being a person employed in the Public Service in any capacity not Judicial for the Prosecution of Offenders to wit; a member of the Nigeria Police Force, corruptly asked for £15 for your senior officer from Okefi Azu on account of anything to be afterwards done by you namely, not to prosecute Okeke Agwu for road traffic offences, with a view to improper interference with the due administration of Justice.
STATEMENT OF OFFENCE
The facts which led to the prosecution are that the appellant, a Police Constable, was given instructions by his superior officer one Ukpong, an Assistant Superintendent of Police, to make investigations and take particulars of a lorry he had stopped on the road because he suspected it of being mechanically defective, a suspicion which had been justified after the Vehicle Inspection Officer had tested the lorry. The appellant was also instructed to prepare a summons against the owner of the lorry. One Azu, who was looking after the lorry for the owner, was accordingly informed by the driver of the lorry. Next day Azu went to the appellant at the Police Station and begged him to withdraw the summons and not prosecute. The appellant said he was unable to withdraw the summons as it was his senior officer and not himself who originally brought up the matter, but that the officer had asked him to receive £15 before the summons could be withdrawn. Azu thereupon reported this to Mr. Smith the Senior Superintendent of Police who gave five marked £1 notes to Azu to give to the appellant, which he later did. The appellant was thereby arrested with the five £1 notes on him. His defence at the trial that the money was given in payment of a debt was disbelieved by the learned trial Judge, but for the purposes of this appeal it is unnecessary to consider this defence.
Nine grounds of appeal were filed. Of the nine grounds, Counsel abandoned four and five were argued on which only grounds 2 and 3 need be considered for the purpose of this appeal. The two grounds are as follows:-
(1) All the essential ingredients of the offence were not proved in either count.
(2) The counts did not disclose any offence under section 116 (1) of the Criminal Code.
Counsel argued that the evidence before the learned trial Judge presented two sets of facts for which the money was demanded and was given. The first was that the lorry which was put off the road would be put back on the road if the demand of £15 were met. The second set of facts was that the £15 should be given so that prosecution might be withdrawn.
The learned trial Judge, it was pointed out, accepted one set of facts, as he was entitled to do, which was the second set of facts. But it was argued that the gravamen of the case for the prosecution, which the learned Judge failed to advert his mind to, was the fact that the demand was made on behalf of the Assistant Superintendent of Police who on receipt of the money would withdraw the charge, and that this evidence was hardly in accord with the charge before the Court.
To understand the force of this argument, we set out the evidence of Azu about the demand, the relevant portion of which was as follows:-
He said he could not withdraw the summons as he was not the person who contravened the lorry. He said it was his senior police officer. He said the senior police officer who contravened the lorry asked him to receive £15 before the summons could be withdrawn.
The evidence adduced by the prosecution as to power to withdraw summonses was given by Zaccheus Okakpu an Inspector of Police who deposed to the fact that "a junior police officer cannot withdraw a case. It is only the Assistant Superintendent of Police in charge of traffic who has the power to direct what should happen to any such case."
Learned Counsel for the appellant argued that the evidence of Azu about the demand, as set out above, is capable only of one meaning, namely, that the appellant was to receive the sum of £15 for his superior officer (A.S.P. Ukpong) in order that Ukpong might withdraw the charge.
On the other hand, we have been asked to say that the evidence can be properly construed as meaning that the appellant received the money for his senior officer on the understanding that he (the appellant) would discontinue the prosecution in accordance with the directions of his senior officer.
We doubt if the evidence is capable of the latter interpretation but if the evidence is capable of two interpretations, it is clear that the one favourable to the appellant must be adopted.
The section of the Code under which the appellant was charged reads as follows:-
116. Any person who-
(1) being a peace officer not acting judicially, or being a person employed in the public service in any capacity not judicial for the prosecution or detention or punishment of offenders, corruptly asks, receives, or obtains, or agrees or attempts to receive or obtain, any property or benefit of any kind for himself or any other person, on account of anything already done or omitted to be done, or to be afterwards done or omitted to be done, by him, with a view to corrupt or improper Interference with the due administration of justice, or the procurement or facilitation of the commission of any offence, or the protection of any offender or intending offender from detection or punishment.
On a careful examination of this section, we agree that a peace officer who asks for or receives money or any property corruptly for any other person on account of anything to be done or already done or omitted to be done by him (that is, to be done by the officer who asks for or receives the money), as laid down in the above charges, is covered by the section, but we are unable to agree with the learned Senior Crown Counsel that the section covers a case of a peace officer who asks for or receives money or any property corruptly for any other person on account of anything to be done or already done or omitted to be done by that other person, as was the evidence before the learned trial Judge in this case. The section, it would appear, envisaged a peace officer, in the circumstances set out, asking for or receiving money or any other property corruptly for his family or his relatives for example, in order that he himself might interfere improperly with due administration of Justice.
The sum total of this as it concerns this appeal is that if the charges as laid had been proved, an offence under the section would have been established. On the facts adduced by the prosecution at the trial however we are of the view that a charge under this section will not lie.
We cannot in the circumstances sustain the conviction in this matter as the facts proved before the learned trial Judge conflicts with the charges laid in the information.
The appeal will therefore be allowed. The convictions are quashed and sentences passed are set aside: a verdict of acquitted is entered. The appellant is discharged.

Q: Why does parser generated by ANTLR reuse context objects? I'm trying to create an interpreter for a simple programming language using ANTLR.
I would like to add the feature of recursion.
So far I have implemented the definition and calling functions with option of using several return statements and also local variables. To achieve having local variables I extended the parser partial class of FunctionCallContext with a dictionary for them. I can successfully use them for one time. Also, when I call the same function again from itself (recursively), the parser creates a new context object for the new function call, as I would expect.
However,if I create a "deeper" recursion, the third context of the function call will be the very same as the second (having the same hash code and the same local variables).
My (updated) grammar:
    grammar BatshG;
/*

compileUnit: ( (statement) | functionDef)+;
statement:      print  ';'
            |   println ';'

What could cause the problem? Thank you!

Why does parser generated by ANTLR reuse context objects?

It doesn't. Each function call in your source code will correspond to exactly one FunctionCallContext object and those will be unique. They'd have to be, even for two entirely identical function calls, because they also contain meta data, such as where in the source the function call appears - and that's obviously going to differ between calls even if everything else is the same.
To illustrate this, consider the following source code:
function f(x) {
  return f(x);
}
print(f(x));

This will create a tree containing exactly two FunctionCallContext objects - one for line 2 and one for line 4. They will both be distinct - they'll both have child nodes referring to the function name f and the argument x, but they'll have different location information and a different hash code - as will the child nodes. Nothing is being reused here.

What could cause the problem?

The fact that you're seeing the same node multiple times is simply due to the fact that you're visiting the same part of the tree multiple times. That's a perfectly normal thing to do for your use case, but in your case it causes a problem because you stored mutable data in the object, assuming that you'd get a fresh FunctionCall object for each time a function call happens at run time - rather than each time a function call appears in the source code.
That's not how parse trees work (they represent the structure of the source code, not the sequence of calls that might happen at run time), so you can't use FunctionCallContext objects to store information about a specific run-time function call. In general, I'd consider it a bad idea to put mutable state into context objects.
Instead you should put your mutable state into your visitor object. For your specific problem that means having a call stack containing the local variables of each run-time function call. Each time a function starts execution, you can push a frame onto the stack and each time a function exits, you can pop it. That way the top of the stack will always contain the local variables of the function currently being executed.

PS: This is unrelated to your problem, but the usual rules of precedence in arithmetic expressions are such that, + has the same precedence as - and * has the same precedence as /. In your grammar the precedence of / is greater than that of * and that of - higher than +. This means that for example 9 * 5 / 3 is going to evaluate to 5, when it should be 15 (assuming the usual rules for integer arithmetic).
To fix this + and -, as well as * and / should be part of the same rule, so they get the same precedence:
| left=numericexpression op=('*'|'/') right=numericexpression #MulOrDiv
| left=numericexpression op=('+'|'-') right=numericexpression #PlusOrMinus

Q: Is javac an oracle java compiler? I compile my java code using javac. But I am not sure which compiler it is.
man javac says it is gcj-4.6, which seems provided by GNU. I have OpenJDK Java 7 Runtime installed.
But Wikipedia says javac is from Oracle.

Major Java compilers[edit] As of 2012, the following are major Java
  compilers:[citation needed]

*

*The Java Programming Language Compiler (javac), included in the Java Development Kit from Oracle Corporation, open-sourced since 13
  November 2006.

*GNU Compiler for Java (GCJ), a part of the GNU Compiler Collection, which compiles C, Fortran, Pascal and other programming languages
  besides Java. It can also generate native code using the back-end of
  GCC.

*Eclipse Compiler for Java (ECJ), an open source incremental compiler used by the Eclipse project.

I don't know how to check if I have Oracle's installed.
I am confused. Thanks.

A: Javac is just the command used to run the compiler. You can use openjdk, sun or oracle java and they all use the javac command.
To tell which version you are using do the following
 System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.vendor"));

A: You can pick it yourself! Simply run sudo update-alternatives --config java.

A: javac is just the name (or alias) of the program doing the compilation.
Just like cc is a common alias to the C compiler (whether it be clang, gcc, etc), javac is just the name standardized around by implementations (GNU or Oracle).

Q: -march=haswell vs -march=core-avx2 vs -mavx2 Title says it all. What are the differences and tradeoffs between -march=haswell, -march=core-avx2, and -mavx2 for compiling avx2 intrinsics?
I know that -mavx2 is a flag and -march=haswell/core-avx2 are architectures which just translate to a bunch of flags. So -mavx2 is a subset of the other two. But beyond that, how do I choose the right one for my application?
In particular, if I'm compiling for Skylake and adding -mtune=skylake, but I can't actually do -march=skylake, how do I decide and why? (That's my particular case, but also interested in the more general tradeoffs).

A: -march sets -mtune, and enables other useful stuff you forgot like -mfma and -mbmi / -mbmi2 which aren't implied by -mavx2.
Unfortunately GCC's -mtune=generic doesn't adapt itself to the subset of CPUs that support the extensions enabled.  Most notably, -mavx2 rules out Sandy Bridge, but doesn't imply -mno-avx256-split-unaligned-load -mno-avx256-split-unaligned-store (Why doesn't gcc resolve _mm256_loadu_pd as single vmovupd?).  Out of all AVX2 CPUs, only I think Excavator would really benefit much from those options, and it's not a big fraction of market share, and I think misaligned 32-byte load/store isn't disastrous on it like it was on Sandybridge.  GCC11 and later have a tune=generic that does do unaligned 32-byte load/store (https://godbolt.org/z/qr9cEcne3) so this specific issue is no longer critical if you only care about AVX2 and newer CPUs.  But still you generally want a -mtune= option somewhat appropriate for the set of CPUs you're targeting.  But usually erring on the side of less loop unrolling, since too much can hurt I-cache / uop cache hit rate.
AVX2 CPUs have been widespread for long enough that -mtune=generic happens to be mostly appropriate for them in GCC11 and later, fortunately. (Especially CPUs like Haswell and Zen2 that have 32-byte-wide load/store units). But in general, with other CPU features and other far-future cases, that won't always be true.
But still don't just use -mavx2, that will leave out -mfma (which all AVX2 CPUs support except for one Via model), and leave out -mbmi/2 which I think all AVX2 CPUs also support.  More efficient variable-count shifts are always nice, and so is lzcnt/tzcnt and efficient x &= x-1 lowest-set-bit idioms.

-march=haswell -mtune=skylake could be useful if you want to enable a Haswell baseline for compatibility, but tune for Skylake. (There's very little difference between tuning heuristics for those microarchitectures, and probably no new instructions that GCC would use automatically. For SKL specifically, see also How can I mitigate the impact of the Intel jcc erratum on gcc? which isn't implied by -march=skylake)

-march=core-avx2 and similar are an obsolete naming convention
It's just a synonym for -march=haswell, AFAIK.  But maybe leaving -mtune=generic, unlike -march=haswell which sets -mtune=haswell.  How to correctly determine -march and -mtune for Intel processors? has more details.
-march=core-i7 is I think just a synonym for Nehalem, which is really dumb because Nehalem (1st-gen i7) is a different microarchitecture from Sandy Bridge and later (2nd-gen i7).  Intel unfortunately kept that branding through SnB's major re-architecting of the internals, although the 3-level cache with shared inclusive L3 has been a constant.
There's no such thing as "a generic i7", because i7 includes two different microarchitectures, one with a uop cache, one without.
Good riddance to those stupid ambiguous confusing -march= / -mtune names that are trying to be generic but actually aren't.

It would be nice if there was a -march=generic-avx2 to tune for Haswell and later, Zen1 and later, etc., using the common subset of instructions they all support efficiently.  And setting tuning options appropriate for all of them, not going too crazy unrolling.  But there isn't.
Or more generally, -mtune=generic-enabled or something that would look at the enabled -m options and not care about CPUs that couldn't run this code.  e.g. not doing rep ret if you enabled any features that a Phenom II couldn't run, such as AVX.  GCC bug 78762 is basically a feature request for that.
(Current GCC -mtune=generic no longer uses rep ret; Phenom II is old enough that GCC doesn't spend extra code-size to avoid potholes there.  Most binary releases of software built with GCC use a GCC version that was in development a year or more before that, so there's some lead time in terms of what's appropriate for -mtune=generic.  The CPU with a glass jaw / performance pothole you're working around doesn't have to be totally gone before a current nightly build of GCC stops tuning for it.)
