i'm tisha thompson at the live desk. we just learned of a robbery in tinnily town. it is the fourth robbery in a mile radius in the last month. today's attack happened on wisconsin avenue in northwest and police are looking for who they describe as four to five teens who could be responsible. now, about a month ago a student was stabbed just about a block away, walking to wilson high school and then two days later a student was attacked outside georgetown day high school and just last week, another teen was abducted and sexually assaulted in friendship heights. police have not given us the age or told us whether or not the victim was hurt in today's attack. erica? >> all right. tisha, thank you so very much. arlington police looking for a man involved in a dangerous dine and dash. they say a restaurant worker chased a customer to his car when the customer left without
in front of the vehicle to keep him from leaving, but they say the customer hit the worker and then ran over his legs and kept going. this happened late last friday night along columbia pike just off gleeb road. from columbia pike, we know how frustrating it can be getting stuck behind someone trying to make a left turn. what if left hand turns went away to keep the traffic flowing. that is one idea considered for the tysons corner area. our transportation reporter adam tuss is live with details on that. adam? >> that's right, jim. this is a change that could affect tens of thousands of drivers here along busy route 123 in the tysons area. don't like left turns? yes, simply eliminate them and if you can imagine that idea is quite a bit polarizing here. road design isn't the flashiest topic until it affects y
there are opinions about eliminating a number of left-hand turns along route 123. >> yeah. that will jack some stuff up. i'm not in favor of that. >> you need to make a left sometimes? >> you have to make a left. >> it could help because then you wouldn't have people waiting for the left hand turns. >> reporter: route 123 in this area would become a so-called super street. what exactly is that? >> how does it work? >> the super street? >> got a lot of u-turns and things. you're not allowed to make left turns. >> here is a rough sketch of other super streets from the federal highway administration. there are a lot of rules, but ultimately it's expected to help keep traffic flowing. stewart schwartz isn't sold on the super street. >> it's about movement of cars, not necessarily about pedestrians and it could make it less safe for p/eed pedestrians give them a much longer crossing time further discouraging both sides of the road. >> reporter: fairfax county ne
happening in tysons, more jobs and housing, 123 can't stay in its current form. the county department of transportation tells news 4 we think this concept is necessary in order for route 123 to function at a reasonable level. we don't have an option other than this so for right now, more study, but it appears it's just a matter of time before this road changes. >> reporter: back here now live as the traffic makes its way on to route 123. another obstacle facing this whole idea, erica. this road, 123 goes right into tyson's mall. back to you. >> adam tuss, thank you so very much. as metro prepares to launch safe track. the transit area will alert you to the program and at some transfer points like metro center and lafont plaza, workers are handing out flyers and it will include more single
closing for periods of time. there will also be no late night weekend rail service. we go now to doug kammerer keeping an eye to the skies and kind of gray. more than anything it just feels soupy out there maybe? >> soupy. and you saw those clouds, erica. those were cumulous congested clouds. i knew it was on the tip of your tongue out there. that's what we're dealing with, though. that's the kind of atmosphere you have. you have the cumulous clouds because we have some moisture and we have nice, warm temperatures and 85 degrees and 87, philly and 74 at the beaches in ocean city and a very nice day there, too and it's been beautiful today and very typical of what we would see during the portions of summer and above average today. one area of storminess and we say storminess and one area of showers and we're watching the boundary make it's way south.

who were banned from participating in the ceremony by principal dr. donna jones for allegedly being drunk at the prom in violation of the school's policy against alcohol at school events. >> everybody was operating under that impression. we feel the pt appeals that that was a huge deterrent at our prom this year and it worked. >> reporter: but last week the principal's decision to exclude the six students from the bcc graduation ceremony was overturned by interim school superintendent larry bowers who wrote to parents saying the board of education policy is clear that as a matter of general practice, the exclusion from commencement ceremonies will not be included in local school policies regarding disciplinary standards and procedures. >> our community is outraged because we don't know how to proceed next year, worrying, what are we going to say as a deterrent for this be
the decision to allow the six students to receive their diplomas at graduation. >> you did all of the work up to senior year. one mess up shouldn't affect all of that. >> i think it's really important for people, especially young people to understand consequences. >> i understand that principal jones' intentions were to keep people safe, but at the same time i kind of felt like singling out these six kids was a little harsh considering there were a lot of people who weren't caught. >> reporter: ahead at 6:00, whether this con ro versy is going to affect tomorrow's graduation. that's the latest, erica, back to you. >> chris gordon, thank you very much. the fight over california getting tighter and hillary clinton has new ammo and bernie sanders is digging his heels into the battle that could give him new leverage at the democratic national convention. police shot a man accused

you will feel it, it's just not going to be as humid and a little less sticky. we'll put it in that category and temperatures will move back to the 80s with isolated shower chances in the afternoon. here we go. mid-80s and most of those showers will stay around d.c. and most likely to the south and we'll watch for them tomorrow and highs tomorrow, mid-80s for most of us under partly cloudy skies and the rain chance this week and we'll have better rain chance as we get into thursday and bet or friday and then on sunday. sunday looks like we could have some heavy rain and that's why i said saturday. pick up the weekend and a great saturday. partly cloudy skies and humidity comes back on sunday and rain heavy at times and even some thunderstorms expected as well. so this is what we're looking like. mid-80s from tomorrow and low 80s on thursday with cloud cover. friday looks on the rainy side and we'll continue to watch that and saturday night before more rain returns on sunday and cooler to start next week and all in all, notat

Employee value propositions (EVPs) are increasingly important for attracting, retaining, and engaging staff in today's fierce job market.
Finance recruitment surveys show the continuing difficulties in finding and keeping the right accountancy talent, one key reason that EVPs are growing increasingly important.
The worldwide talent shortage is "raging on", according to the 2019 Robert Half Salary Guide. In the UK, 82% of hiring managers said they struggle to find qualified professionals.
Staff engagement is also a major challenge. For example, a 2018 survey by HR.com shows that just 44% of HR professionals said employees in their organisation give discretionary effort, which is a key measure that indicates engagement.
The top two initiatives that companies are adopting to address these issues are promoting company culture (46%) and communicating brand values (42%), according to Robert Half.
Patrick Blakeney, associate director at employment agency Michael Page, said the situation is similar in North America, where the job market is more buoyant than it has been in years and candidates are receiving many opportunities and more options than before.
That is where a robust EVP comes in. Several entities have attempted to help companies recently by producing guides to EVP strategy. And plenty of knowledge can be gained from the efforts of other companies.
L'Oréal, the global cosmetics company, developed a simple yet effective way to communicate value to potential employees. The company's three-part slogan, "A thrilling experience, an inspiring company, a school of excellence", served as a centrepiece of its branding and recruiting efforts.
Unilever HR executive Leena Nair, in a case study published by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), detailed how the multinational applied marketing expertise to help build the company's brand as "a great place to work, with great people to work with, [and] a winning business with sustainability at its heart".
One recent guide, published by the CIPD in October, said employer branding has risen to prominence due to the recruitment environment, the increased need for credibility and employee engagement, and greater acceptance of the power of brands.
The CIPD said an EVP strategy can help address the challenges of the increasing trend towards individualism; greater use of social media to provide feedback on companies; and less trust and loyalty to organisations, particularly amongst younger employees.
But Nicole Dorskind, managing director of employment communications agency ThirtyThree in North America, said not all companies are using EVPs effectively, if at all.
"Companies that struggle to attract the best and right talent — it's because people don't understand who they are," Dorskind said. "That's where the EVP can be an amazing tool. It codifies who you are, what makes you different and special, and, most importantly, shows why someone should work for you over another organisation.
Put simply, your employer brand is based on how people view your company as a place to work. The CIPD defines it as a set of attributes, often intangible, that make an organisation distinctive, promise a particular employment experience, and appeal to people who will thrive in its culture.
An EVP guide cannot tell you what your brand should be — that is unique to each company. But it can tell you how to create and codify yours.
A strong brand should connect an organisation's ethics, values, and people strategy, and link to the company's overall brand, said the CIPD. To be effective, the brand should inform an organisation's entire approach to people management, including recruitment, induction or onboarding, performance management and reward, internal communications, and promoting effective behaviours. It must not be mere rhetoric about values but should reflect the actual experience of employees.
Candidates will fight to work for an organisation with an effective EVP, according to a guide from Michael Page. It encompasses the central reasons that people are proud and motivated to work there, such as the inspiring vision or culture.
To develop a realistic EVP, you must first understand how staff and potential employees perceive your brand and culture. For example: what attracted them to your company; why they think it is unique; what they value most about working there; why they stay; and why they leave.
This information can be gathered through employee surveys, focus groups, and exit interviews; and through feedback from former employees and job applicants, the Michael Page guide said.
The next step is to establish a cross-functional team to review the information and use it to draft an EVP. This draft should be simple but broad enough to appeal to different groups. It should inspire but also show realistically what it is like to work for your company. You can then test your EVP with existing employees and a sample external group to see if it is clear and realistic.
The next step is to communicate the EVP to the people you are trying to attract including through all hiring channels, the Michael Page guide said. Communicating a compelling EVP consistently through branding, public relations, and marketing will also help the general market perceive your company positively.
Organisations should strive to incorporate the EVP into the interview process, induction plans, reward and recognition schemes, internal communications, policies, and business plans, and review it regularly.
"The companies who do this right invest a lot of time and resources into developing it," Dorskind said. "But the biggest thing companies often miss is not linking it to the overall brand framework. Often, it's an HR initiative sitting in a vacuum and looks more like a recruitment campaign than a brand promise.
A refinement of EVP is to segment it by emphasising different elements of the value proposition to different groups of employees or potential employees.
According to the CIPD, organisations can base segmentation according to individuals' preferences — for example, in how they communicate and promote rewards and flexible benefits packages to different parts of the workforce. International organisations might also need some local interpretation of the EVP to meet different cultural needs.
Some companies may question whether an EVP is worth the investment and how can they measure its success.


I adore the immortelle divine face cream but know I should protect my face from the Aussie sun so I tried the spf 20. It doesn't absorb quite as beautifully as the original, but it has the delicate perfume and lovely silky feel of it so I will continue to use it as I am a sun lover and it is still a divine product.
I have used this cream for some time now, and always order an extra to have on hand. Love it!


Many sports bettors – especially beginners – don't always believe that luck can favor them. Sometimes, even pros doubt they can hit the jackpot and make a fortune at sports betting. Betting on sports is just a hobby for them. They consider it to be a fun way to spend time with friends.
However, a Nigerian student has recently proven this opinion totally wrong.
A 21-year-old biology student Emenike Okafor won ₦ 12,100,379.79 having placed only a ₦ 1000 bet. The young man, who came to study to Lagos from Ibadan, started betting at sports only 2 months ago, but fortune has already smiled upon him! It was an accumulator bet on 8 UEFA Champions League matches that made him rich.
According to the lucky young man, he also thought it was impossible to win a large sum of money at sports betting.
"I started betting just for fun with my friends. I was hoping to win some money, but, honestly, I hadn't expected to hit a real jackpot. I was shocked at first!"
The young winner describes himself as a huge football fan. His favorite team is Manchester United.
"I admire the Red Devils. Beckham, Giggs, and Rooney are my legends! I didn't lose faith in the team even when the crisis struck after Sir Alex Ferguson had retired. This year is really amazing: the Reds seem to have overcome the crisis with a new generation of players and I won more than ₦ 210K which is a real fortune for me."
He also added that he started betting because "it makes watching football even more exciting."
"Before starting to bet, I made some research on the most popular and trustable sportsbooks. I discovered that 1xBet had mostly favorable bettor reviews. The reviewers were impressed with fast payouts and great bonuses. That's why I decided to give it a try."
After receiving his winnings, the happy student is going to put 4/5 of the money into a savings bank account, but he will continue betting at football matches.
"This is a life-changing win for me. I want to continue my studies to do a PhD and the money I won will enable me to realize my dream. But I don't want to stop betting. I put aside some money to continue testing my luck because it really makes me feel alive. Of course, I will make only reasonable bets."
Emenike also gave an advice to all beginners.
"Placing a bet is taking a risk. But, when done sensibly, it can be extremely rewarding. Now, all my friends use 1xBet to bet at sports. I wish them and everyone good luck!"
What are your thoughts on betting at sports? Do you bet for fun, or to win it all one day?
As a matter of fact, we all wish we could become millionaires and – who knows – a single bet can become the luckiest moment of your life. If you're a beginner and only start exploring the lucrative world of sports betting, 1xBet can be a wonderful option for you. The fairy tale experience of bettors like Emenike Okafor proves 1xBet allows users to win huge amounts of money placing small bets.
No matter if you do it for fun or for profit, when you want to place a sports bet, visit 1xBet!

IMAX Enhanced brings the IMAX experience to your home theater
This new format is going to change the way you watch movies at home
by Helena Stone November 15, 2018, 5:14 pm
Have you ever dreamt of bringing the IMAX theater experience with you home? Well, now you can get really close to that at home with IMAX Enhanced content and compatible home theater equipment.
IMAX has worked with filmmakers to offer select digitally remastered films as IMAX Enhanced. Offering these films as IMAX Enhanced means brighter, clearer images, that are often less noisy. Many of the films also offer an increased aspect ratio for a more immersive experience – which is an experience more like what you get when you watch a film on an IMAX screen.
We watched a couple of side by side examples of films playing back in "regular" 4K HDR next to an IMAX Enhanced film, and we were blown away by the difference. For starters, the IMAX Enhanced versions were brighter and a lot less noisy. But what was most surprising for us is that the "regular" 4K HDR films seemed pretty impressive on their own – until we compared them to their IMAX Enhanced versions.
In addition to offering an enhanced visual experience, IMAX Enhanced offers a more cinematic audio experience. IMAX has partnered with DTS to deliver the original full dynamic range mix from the original film via IMAX Enhanced content.
IMAX says that an IMAX Enhanced mode will be coming to more and more TVs. The first TV to support the mode is the pricey 77" Sony A1E OLED 4K UHD TV ($7,999+). But to get the complete experience, you'll need to be watching IMAX Enhanced streaming content or IMAX Enhanced content on a 4K UHD Blu-Ray player.
READ Samsung releases pricing for its 2019 Frame TV and 8K TVs
To date, IMAX has announced only two films that will be released as IMAX Enhanced – IMAX: Journey to the South Pacific and IMAX: A Beautiful Planet. Both will be released on December 11th, and IMAX says that many more IMAX Enhanced films are on their way.

Q: How can I find the longest word in a string? Problem: I want the user to input a sentence (string) and use a loop to check which is the longest word to return.
My solution:
string = input("Please enter a string ")
new = string.split()
max_length = 0
max_word = ""

for word in new:
    if len(word) > max_length:
        max_length = len(word)
        max_word = word

print("The longest word in the string is", max_word)

Question: How can I get printed only the largest word?

A: Use the max function and supply len as the key:
max_word = max(string.split(), key=len)
print("The longest word in the string is ", max_word)

A: You can use max on the splitted string with key as len:
max_word = max(string.split(), key=len)

You can also correct your code to:
string = input("Please enter a string ")

max_word = ''
for word in string.split():
    if len(word) > len(max_word):
        max_word = word

print(max_word)

A: You can try this if you want to take the string with input():
print('The longest word is: ', max(input('Please enter a string: ').split(), key=len))

Or you can make it a function:
func = lambda x:max(x.split(), key=len)

and use the function like this:
the_longest_word = func('here is some string')

In 1814 the Austrian physicist Fraunhofer observed the Sun's spectrum. Through a tin hole he allowed ? sheaf of light, to be directed to refractive prism. Fraunhofer noticed that the unbroken Sun spectrum has many dark lines – these are called a linear absorption spectrum (see the figure to the left).
Every chemical element in the Universe has a nucleus and an electronic cloud around it. Hydrogen, for example, has only one electron, which reacts on some strictly defined wavelengths. One red photon has the exact energy necessary for the electron to move up one energy level. The result is that in the spectrum this red photon is missing. A black line replaces it. A green photon, which has more energy, makes the electron jump two levels. The same happens with a blue photon, which sends the electron up three levels, and with the violet which sends it up four or more levels. Only the hydrogen atom can absorb simultaneously these four photons and no others. Its absorption spectrum is its signature and it can't be falsified.

Kopalnia Węgla Kamiennego Matylda (niem. Mathilde) – zlikwidowana kopalnia węgla kamiennego, która znajdowała się w Lipinach, działała od 1853 do 16 listopada 1974 roku.

Historia
W 1823 roku właściciel dóbr świętochłowickich Józef Porębski wykupił pole górnicze i nazwał je na cześć swojej żony Matyldy. Nadania górnicze przyznano 13 i 30 stycznia 1827 roku. Karol Łazarz Henckel von Donnersmarck wykupił od Porębskiego 119 kuksów w 1827 roku, 3 pozostałe kuksy odkupił Karol Godula w 1838 roku. Spółka Schlesische AG für Bergbau und Zink Hüttenbetrieb odkupiła od Donnersmarcka jego udziały w 1857 roku, resztę kuksów nabyła w 1874 roku. Eksploatacja została rozpoczęta w 1853 roku. W 1869 pogłębiono szyby kopalniane do 240 metrów. W latach 1860-1864 uruchomiono kopalnię Matylda Zachód. Spółka w 1875 roku zdecydowała o skonsolidowaniu następujących pól górniczych: Franz, Merkur, Quintoforo, Paris, König, Saul, Mathilde i Mathilde Erweiterung, z nich powstała kopalnia nazwana wówczas vereinigte Mathilde-Grube, której obszar górniczy miał powierzchnię 3 524 485 m² około 1926 roku. Eksploatowano również pola dzierżawione od kopalni Śląsk i Paulus-Hohenzollern. Kopalnia w 1913 roku wydobyła ponad 830 tysięcy ton węgla. Od 1921 roku należała do spółki Śląskie Kopalnie i Cynkownie z siedzibą w Katowicach. W 1932 roku w wyniku pogorszenia się koniunktury na węgiel zakończono eksploatację w Matyldzie Wschód i przystąpiono do likwidacji zakładu. Od 1945 do 1957 roku kopalnia była częścią Chorzowskiego Zjednoczenia Przemysłu Węglowego. Wydobycie w kopalni spadło, więc 1 stycznia 1967 roku połączono ją z chropaczowską kopalnią Śląsk pod nazwą Śląsk-Matylda. Wydobycie z rejonu dawnej kopalni Matylda zakończono 16 listopada 1974 roku.

She was one of a handful of local artists chosen once again by St. Peters Anglican Church on Elm Street to take part in their recent exhibit of emerging artists.
This exhibit and sale is an annual event for the church and a fundraising vehicle for both the church and upcoming members of the art community.
This year's show ran over the course of a weekend towards the end of April and featured more than 20 local artists working in a variety of different media such as oils, watercolours, photography, sculpture and jewelry.
Scurfield's medium however is fused glass, also known as glass slumping. It's a two-step process used to join various pieces of glass together by fusing them at high temperatures in a kiln, then a second firing to slump them to shape over a mould.
And the results are very attractive and colourful bowls, dishes and vases that are both functional and delightful to look at.
Scurfield has been creating glass pieces for more than 20 years now, having first taken stained glass courses from Lois Loewen at Prairie Stained Glass.
One of Rosemary Scurfield's colourful bowls.
Over the years she has produced window panels, lamps, suncatchers and mosaic tiles, but for the last five years her focus has been on fused glass. She explained how she loves the way light plays upon the colours and textures of glass and enjoys the endless creative possibilities afforded by working with a kiln. Her love of nature is reflected in a lot of her pieces.
A retired pre-school teacher, she worked for twenty years with special needs children at the Society for Manitobans with Disabilities (SMD). Scurfield grew up on Carpathia Road and has spent her whole life living in River Heights. Yet she tells me she had no interest in art during her high school years at Kelvin. It became both a passion and a talent during later life for her.
But Rosemary Scurfield is not the only artist in her Oxford Street household as her husband Bob also has an artistic flair. An accomplished painter he had a recent exhibition in New York City.
Together they have shown their various pieces at summer showings in Victoria Beach where they are cottagers.
When not being creative in her home studio Rosemary enjoys travelling, cooking, playing tennis and working in her husband's Human Resource consulting business. She also likes spending summers at the cottage with family and friends.
If you missed the St. Peters exhibition you can also find Scurfield's work on sale at Gallery Lacosse on Lilac Street.

CEOs and director generals among leaders chosen for Theresa May's new Business Councils
Prime Minister Theresa May has announced the creation of five new Business Councils that will advise the Government after Brexit.
Each Council will look to meet three times a year – once with a senior Cabinet Minister and twice with the PM – to provide advice and policy recommendations on key issues affecting businesses.
The Councils will be co-chaired by two business leaders and have around 10 members representing core sectors of the UK economy, including a representative from a business group.
PM Theresa May said: "The UK has always been one of the best places in the world to do business and is a leader in sectors from advanced manufacturing to the creative industries.
"Brexit presents a huge opportunity to build a better, stronger economy for people all over the country."
She added: "So I've asked these new Councils to advise us on the opportunities and challenges facing business as we shape the UK for the future."
The Prime Minister is due to welcome the co-chairs at Downing Street for the first time later today (November 7) to set out objectives and discuss issues including productivity and international investment. After the first meeting the co-chairs will prepare each Council's agendas.
The appointed co-chairs are:
Jan du Plessis (chairman, BT Group) and Carolyn McCall (chief exec, ITV) for the Telecoms, Creative, Technology and Media Council, which will include business group representatives John Allen (president, CBI) and Stephen Martin (director general, IOD)
Roger Carr (chairman, BAE Systems) and Ian Davis (chairman, Rolls Royce) will co-chair the Industrial, Infrastructure and Manufacturing Council, with Stephen Phipson (chief exec, EEF) as its business group representative
James Timpson (CEO, Timpson), Brent Hoberman (chairman, Founders Forum) and Emma Jones (founder, Enterprise Nation) will co-chair the Small Business, Scale ups and Entrepreneurs Council. Business group representative for this council is Mike Cherry (national chairman, Federation of Small Business)
Paul Manduca (chairman, Prudential) and Shriti Vadera (chairman, Santander UK) will co-chair the Services - Financial, Professional and Education Services Council, with support from business group representative Carolyn Fairbairn (director general, CBI)
Dave Lewis (chief exec, Tesco) and Emma Walmsley (chief exec, GSK) will co-chair the Consumer, Retail and Life Sciences Council, with business group representative Adam Marshall (director general, British Chambers of Commerce)
Enterprise Nation founder Emma Jones said: "The overwhelming majority of businesses in the UK are small and they are the heart of our economy – so I'm pleased that their voice is formally being recognised in these Councils.
"I'm looking forward to representing these entrepreneurs and innovators and discussing their unique perspective with the Prime Minister."
ITV CEO Carolyn McCall commented: "Our creative industries are a £92bn sector, growing at twice the rate of the economy and setting trends around the world.
"The UK exported nearly £1bn of TV programmes and formats alone in 2016/17 and film and high-end TV by themselves attracted over £2bn of inward investment to the UK in 2017, creating jobs, boosting tourism and attracting global talent to the UK."
She added: "I'm delighted to co-lead with Jan Du Plessis, Chairman of BT, the Telecoms, Creatives Industries, Technology and Media council to continue to nurture this for the future."
Sir Roger Carr, chairman of BAE Systems, said: "Companies in the Industrial, Manufacturing and Infrastructure sectors are the backbone of the economy and amongst our largest employers.
"We are a vital part of the wealth creating machinery of the country where improved training, productivity and exporting will be the cornerstones of our global success."
He continued: "Engaging with the Prime Minister to tackle these issues in a focused and practical manner is a welcome and important step forward in achieving our collective growth ambitions."

Mepranum to see action in Australia
Edri Aznar
3 December 2021, 7:10 am ·1 min read
THREE-TIME world title challenger Richie Mepranum will face unbeaten Aussie prospect Sam Goodman in an eight round fight on Dec. 22, 2021 at The Star Event Centre in Sydney, Australia.
After a break of close to two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Mepranum had a successful ring return last Oct. 29, 2021 in Gen. Santos City. He demolished battle-scarred veteran Nicardo Calamba in just two rounds.
This will be the first time that Mepranum will be fighting a credible opponent since losing to World Boxing Council (WBC) No. 7 ranked super bantamweight Ladumo Lamati via a 10th round stoppage in an International Boxing Federation (IBF) Inter-Continental super bantamweight fight in South Africa in 2019.
The 34-year-old Mepranum challenged for a world title already three times in his 16-year career. He first fought for the vacant World Boxing Organization (WBO) flyweight title but was stopped by Julio Cesar Miranda in five rounds in Mexico in 2010. Four years later, Mepranum challenged then WBO and World Boxing Association (WBA) flyweight champion Juan Francisco Estrada and lost via a ninth round stoppage in Mexico. Mepranum tried his luck in Mexico for the third time but he was stopped by then WBC super flyweight champion Carlos Cuadras in eight rounds in 2016.
Mepranum has also fought some elite names like Luis Nery, Arthur Villanueva and Denkaosan Kaovichit.
The 23-year-old Goodman is coming off a huge sixth round technical knockout win over Nort Beaucamp to win the Australian National Boxing Federation Australasian featherweight strap last June 16, 2021 in Sydney.
Goodman owns wins over Pinoy Claudevan Sese and Indonesian gatekeeper Noldi Manakane.
Mepranum is 36-8-1 with 11 knockouts, while Goodman is 9-0 with five knockouts.

A Cutthroat Business (Savannah Martin Mysteries)

Author: Jenna Bennett
Everyone has warned new-minted realtor Savannah Martin that real estate is a cutthroat business. But Savannah doesn't think she's supposed to take the warning literally … until an early morning phone call sends her to an empty house on the 'bad' side of town, where she finds herself standing over the butchered body of a competitor, face to face with the boy her mother always warned her about.
Rafe Collier is six feet three inches of testosterone and trouble; tall, dark, and dangerous, with a murky past and no future–not the kind of guy a perfect Southern Belle should want to tangle with. In any way. But wherever Savannah turns, there he is, and making no bones about what he wants from her.
Now Savannah must figure out who killed real estate queen Brenda Puckett, make a success of her new career, and avoid getting killed–or kissed–by Rafe, all before the money in her savings account runs out and she has to go back to selling make-up at the mall.

Busting heads on the docks of New York as a brash union organizer, taking no prisoners as the newest president of the North American Brotherhood of Stevedores, Vitteli clawed his way to the top of the heap—and no one's going to take him down now. Not if they value their lives.
Like Vince Carlotta. The union boss's fiercest rival has accused Vitteli of embezzlement, election rigging, and other abuses—and even called him a crook at a union meeting. Now Carlotta is just another corpse on the waterfront—allegedly gunned down by an armed robber. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that Vitteli is somehow involved. But proving it is a whole other story.

As O'Brien tries to prevent the abduction, he opens the door to a new relationship. And he opens a dark door to a horror that is secluded within the forest. He follows veiled tracks that lead him farther into the woods where an evil from the past intersects with a frightening presence to form a volatile trap with only one way out.


The LM2937-5 is a 5V regulator that can supply 500mA. The LM2937 differs from the common 7805 by having a much lower dropout voltage, 0.5V vs. 2.0V. Very nice if your 9V battery dips due to a large current draw.
NOTE: The output capacitor is critical to maintaining regulator stability. Without one, you will not measure 5V at the output. The output capacitor must be at least 10µF. Please see page 7 of the datasheet for further information.

SFA Detected Imported Bottled Water Issued From Malaysia Twice In A Month
July 3, 2019 March 21, 2020 dpo-admin
Earlier in mid of June 2019, the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) has restricted the import of bottled water from a Malaysian manufacturer after detection of bacteria during a routine sampling of the products. SFA found the same type of environmental bacteria in bottled water from Malaysia manufacturer two weeks after the first incident.
In view of the detection, the import of all bottled drinking and mineral water from that affected manufacturer was not permitted with immediate effect. The bacterium strain, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, was detected during recent checks of bottled drinking water consignments.
Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH) said that affected products contravenes the Food Act 1983 and the Food Act Regulations 1985. The Ministry has told the company to recall its products and suspended that company license on last Friday (June 28, 2019).
What is Pseudomonas aeruginosa?
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common environmental bacterium and can be found in faeces, soil, water and sewage. It can multiply in water environments as well as on the surface of suitable organic materials in contact with water.
It can cause infections in humans with weakened immune systems, according to the United States' Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It said that the use or consumption of products contaminated with this bacteria can cause a range of infections, but rarely cause serious illnesses in healthy individuals.
