Indian boxers are worried about the sport's future in Paris in 2024
BoxingBoxing NewsSports News
By Anushka On Dec 26, 2022
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has warned that due to growing unhappiness with the steps the International Boxing Association (IBA) is taking to clean up the sport, it may exclude boxing from the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. This has Indian boxers worried. The feud between the IOC and the IBA continues to intensify with the upcoming Olympics. Boxers from India have competed in three of the last four Olympics and are hoping to finish on the podium in Paris.
However, the controversy surrounding boxing's inclusion in the Olympics could dash their hopes. The reforms that the world boxing body under Russian president Umar Kremlev has implemented over the past two years have not been satisfactory to the IOC. Which has expressed serious concerns regarding issues related to the IBA's governance, financial mismanagement, refereeing, and judging.
IOC last year barred boxing from the underlying project of the 2028 Los Angeles Games. Furthermore declared it was assuming control over capability for Paris. By setting the interaction under its Team as it accomplished for the Tokyo Olympics. Narender Rana, the men's coach for India, stated on Sunday, "Boxers are naturally concerned about the developments."
Even though we make an effort to reassure them that the world body is doing everything in its power, it still causes them anxiety. According to the IOC program, Asian Games — are delayed by China to be held in September-October one year from now. Will be a qualifier for Indian fighters other than two world capability competitions because of happening in 2024. Due to Covid, the Hangzhou Asian Games were postponed last year and remain uncertain.
Lovlina Borgohain had won bronze out of nine Indian boxers who had qualified for Tokyo. The conflict between the IBA and the IOC is not coming to an end. Kremlev stated that boxers would not participate in the Olympics. Without the IBA's presence at its Congress this month in Abu Dhabi. I want to emphasize that IBA will not be present at the Olympics for any boxer, coach, or national federation. The boxers have asked for this.
IBA's decision to renew a multimillion-dollar contract with Russia's state energy giant Gazprom is a major sticking point with IOC. Another is allowing boxers from Russia and its ally Belarus to compete in IBA competitions under their flag despite the IOC's approval because of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
"The most recent IBA Congress has once again shown that the IBA. Simply cares about preserving its own authority and has no genuine interest in the boxing sport or the athletes.
The feud between International Olympic Committee and International Boxing Association continues to intensify with the next Olympics fast approaching

"The decisions and talks to exclude boxers from the Olympic qualifiers. The Olympic Games cannot be understood in a different sense," the IOC said in a statement. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) responded to the most recent occurrences by saying it would "have to take all this into consideration when it takes further decisions. Which may have to include canceling boxing for the Olympic Games Paris 2024."
This article covered the sponsorship extension with Gazprom. The CAS judgment did not result in a new presidential election. The latest IOC attack on boxers, according to a statement released on Saturday by the IBA, was the threat to remove boxing from Paris. The Olympics cannot be used as a political extortion tool against the International Sports Federations because they are a global sporting asset that belongs to athletes of all sports.

Igbo village - excellent idea
The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has said that the northern part of Nigeria is one of the safest places for the Igbo ethnic group to live and do their business. This is according to the chairman of the group in the 19 northern states, Augustine Amaechi, who spoke yesterday in Abuja. He said the agitation for secession coming from the South-East is a result of a lack of employment in the region, stressing that the Igbo need the north for their financial strength to be maintained. On his own part, the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, George Obiozor, called for peace and unity, adding that the Igbo nation is not at war with anybody. It is time for us to speak truth to power. Post a Comment. Your Preferred Online Newspage. Saturday, April 17, igbo village

Igbo Language Lesson 25 -- Verbs and Tenses
Igboalso called Ibopeople living chiefly in southeastern Nigeria who speak Igbo, a language of the Benue-Congo branch of the Niger-Congo language family.
The Igbo may be grouped into the following main cultural divisions: northern, southern, western, eastern or Cross River, and northeastern. Before European colonization, the Igbo were not united igbo village a single people but lived in autonomous local communities. By the midth century, however, a sense of ethnic identity was strongly developed, and the Igbo-dominated Eastern region of Nigeria tried to unilaterally secede from Nigeria in as the independent nation of Biafra. By the turn of the igbo village century, the Igbo numbered some 20 million. Most Igbo traditionally villlage been subsistence farmers, their staples being yams, cassava, and taro. The other crops they grow include corn maizemelons, okra, pumpkins, and beans.
Among those still engaged in agriculture, men are chiefly responsible for yam cultivation, women for other crops. Land is owned communally by kinship groups and is made available to individuals for farming and building. Some livestock, important as a source of prestige and for use in sacrifices, is kept. The principal exports are palm oil and palm kernels. Trading, local crafts, and wage labour also are important in the Igbo economy, and a high literacy rate has helped many Igbo to become civil servants and business entrepreneurs in the decades after Igbo village gained independence.
It is notable that Igbo women engage in trade and are influential in local politics. Except for the northeastern groups, the Igbo live in rainforest country. Most Igbo igbo village villages of dispersed compounds, but in some areas villages are compact.
The compound is typically a cluster of huts, each of which constitutes a igbo village household. Traditionally, the village was usually occupied by a patrilineage umunna. Before the advent of colonial administration, the largest political unit was the village group, a federation of villages averaging about 5, persons. Members of the group shared a common market and meeting iigbo, a tutelary deity, and ancestral cults that supported a tradition of descent from a common ancestor or igbo village of ancestors.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo has said the north is the safest place for the Igbo ethnic group.
Authority in the village group was vested in a council of lineage heads and influential and wealthy men. In the eastern regions these groups tended to form larger political units, including centralized kingdoms and states. Traditional Igbo religion includes belief igbo village a creator igbo village Chukwu or Chinekean earth goddess Alaand numerous other deities and spirits as well as a belief in ancestors who protect their living descendants. Revelation of the will of the deities is sought by divination and oracles.]

Over the River and Through the Wood: An Anthology of Nineteenth-Century American Children's Poetry
The following is a guest post written by Karen L. Kilcup, Professor of English, The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and Angela Sorby, Associate Professor of English, Marquette University. I'm very excited about this new anthology published by Johns Hopkins University Press, so I thought I'd let them tell you about it in their own words.
Who could resist a poem that opens like this:
Have Angleworms attractive homes?
Do Bumble-bees have brains?
Do Caterpillars carry combs?
Do Ducks dismantle drains?
Charles E. Carryl's "Memorandrums" typifies the animated, modern spirit of our new anthology, Over the River and Through the Wood. We began our project not only because we admire the writing—its ease, its playfulness, its innovation—but also because we realized how many nineteenth-century children's poems are still vital to Americans—parents and grandparents as well as their children. From the title poem to "Mary's Lamb" to "'Twas the night before Christmas" ("Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas"), many of the verses in Over the River remain part of our collective consciousness, even if we can't immediately identify the sources. I remember my own grandmother singing "Over the river and through the wood," though she changed the second line: "To grandmother's house we go." Since she prepared the Thanksgiving turkey and mountains of vegetables and pies, I imagine that she felt just fine about this substitution. Our collection includes some other wonderful holiday poems, including one delicious ode to turkey dinner (Cooke's "Turkey: A Thanksgiving Ode") and a comic ballad from the bird's perspective, "The Turkey's Opinion." Of course there's far more to the anthology than holiday poems, but many of the most beloved, familiar pieces live in that section. Many of our poems offer major contributions to America's literary tradition, including works by authors whom we don't ordinarily associate with children, such as Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Sarah Piatt.
One children's poem, "Mary's Lamb" was actually the first sound recording ever made by Thomas Edison; you can listen to a scratchy, slightly later version by Edison here. Sarah Josepha Hale's famous poem draws from a real story about a girl bringing her pet to the Redstone School, now in Sudbury, Massachusetts. You can visit the school from mid-May through mid-October.
Boys as well as girls feature prominently in the collection. Benjamin Franklin King's "The Woodticks," a dialect poem spoken by a boy, makes readers savor a tick-free home (and perhaps take a bath), while Mrs. A. M. Diaz' "Two Little Rogues" celebrates the "hullaballoo" they make when mother leaves home. Boys and girls alike will delight in one of the Technology poems, "The Punjaubs of Siam," which depicts elephants displaced by the steam railroad.
Over the River has occupied nearly six years from start to finish. We began by surveying familiar poets and famous collections of children's poetry. But having both done archival research, we realized that there were probably many more that we'd miss if we stayed with the obvious authors, so we began a careful search through nineteenth-century periodicals such as The Juvenile Miscellany and St. Nicholas.
We discovered there and elsewhere numerous wonderful poems by poets with whom we were entirely unfamiliar, including many by children themselves, such as the youthful Stephen Crane, Edith Wharton, and Robert Frost. One of my favorites is by ten-year-old Dora Read Goodale. In 1877, "The Grumbler" appeared in St. Nicholas in a section entitled "Poems by Two Little American Girls." Here we learn that the sisters live "on a large and isolated farm," high in the Berkshire hills, called Sky Farm. The editor describes them "peeping into mossy dells, where wild flowers love to hide, hunting the early arbutus, the queen harebell, or the blue gentian." But Dora rejected this floral tribute, penning a grimly comical poem that begins with the grumbler's youth: "His coat was too thick and his cap was too thin / He couldn't be quiet, he hated a din." We leave it to you to discover the complaints of "His Maturity" and "His Old Age."
Apart from some weird and intriguing titles ("What the Lichens Sang," "The Discontented Manicure Scissors," "The Mushroom's Soliloquy"), the illustrations often dazzled us. There were many that we wanted to include but couldn't, such as "The Journey" by Elizabeth Shippen Green. Author Josephine Preston Peabody describes a child taking a train ride, and Shippen Green shows him looking out the window. Her castles in the clouds are especially tantalizing:
This image was one of a series that accompanied Peabody's cluster of poems, titled "The Little Past," in the December 1903 issue of Harper's Magazine. When Peabody republished the poem as "Journey" in her single-author collection The Singing Leaves, she regrettably omitted Green's images and illuminated text.
There are many other great illustrations, both in the magazines and authors' individual volumes, including Oliver Herford's "A Chameleon":
Presenting a collection with writers diverse by ethnicity and region was another important goal, and so we worked especially hard to locate many more fugitive works. We found poems in the periodical of the Cherokee Female Seminary, Cherokee Rose Buds. As you can see from the image below, many of the attendees were young girls.
Colleagues provided crucial assistance, pointing us to important work by sixteen-year-old Christina Moody and the students at the New-York African Free-School. The North Carolinian Moody published her single-author volume, A Tiny Spark, in 1910.
Moody's contributions include, marvelously, one of our several "Mary's Lamb" parodies. "Mary's Little Goat" should delight us all, while "Chillun and Men" illuminates women's social roles and "The Negro's Flag and Country" proudly claims citizenship.
Poets from the New-York African Free-School express sentiments like that of twelve-year-old Thomas S. Sidney:
Freedom will break the tyrant's chain,
And shatter all his whole domain;
From slavery she will always free,
And all her aim is liberty.
The Library of Congress documents how similar sentiments appeared throughout American society: the tintype below depicts a young boy with an American flag and a campaign button for Lincoln inside the front cover.
We're excited that the great poems we've found will soon be available to children, parents, and grandparents, teachers and scholars, and we look forward to an extended conversation about the contributions that American children's poetry has made to our literary and cultural traditions.

Troy Tulowitzki Joins Star Filled Toronto Blue Jays Lineup
By Mat Germain
Apr 13, 2015; Toronto, Ontario, CAN; Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Roberto Osuna (54) and Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Miguel Castro (51) walk to the bull pen before the home opener against the Tampa Bay Rays at Rogers Centre. The Tampa Bay Rays won 2-1. Mandatory Credit: Nick Turchiaro-USA TODAY Sports
I know prospects are prospects and nothing is guaranteed, but Jeff Hoffman was a potential top 3 in the draft the year he was selected in the draft and he has recovered fully from injuries that had him sidelined since the draft. This being the first year he pitches since undergoing surgery, he is already up to AA, doing better than expected when working through getting his arm strength back.
Toronto Blue Jays /
Overall, he has 67 IP, 68 HA, 17 BB, 46 Ks, and a 1.26 Whip this year between HiA and AA.
With his build, pedigree, and arsenal, he will be ready for MLB action sometime in 2016 and will likely become a strong #3 at a minimum, with the possibility of becomes a #2.
Miguel Castro made it to MLB as a reliever at 20 years old. He may have faltered and been sent down for some work on his stuff, but let's remember that even Roy Halladay had to be sent back down to HiA before he found his stuff and worked his way back to MLB. Castro is back up to AAA and has only allowed 1 ER over his last 7 games. At 6'5″ 190 lbs, he's going to be durable and a workhorse in the pen
with the potential to become a setup – more than likely a closer – at some point in the next 5 years.
The prize in this equation is definitely Hoffman, but Castro can't be understated as well. Between him Aaron Sanchez, and Roberto Osuna, the Jays could have had the youngest and most affordable back end in all of MLB. They all get along, all grew up together in the system, and Osuna and Castro are best friends off the field. Now the Jays not only trade Castro away, irking Osuna, but got a 42 year old in return who may not be effective at all pitching in the AL. The last time he threw in the AL was for the Angels in 2012 and he wound up with a 1.381 whip and 3.64 ERA. In one word, ugly.
There are 2 reasons I dislike this deal for the Jays. The first is that they not only didn't address their areas of need (pen and rotation), but they dealt away pieces that could have helped them there in August or September (Hoffman and Castro) in return for a 42 yr old ineffective vet. Can anyone explain that one to me?
The second reason is that while their lineup got better overall with Tulo in it, the Jays now have little to no speed, no lead off guy, and are way too RHB heavy. The Jays are going to miss their switch hitting lead off guy. So while I love the death row of Donaldson, Tulo, Bautista, Edwin, it is not going to be as effective as it could be with a true lead off hitter.

David's Bridal files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection
David's Bridal filed for bankruptcy protection on Monday, with a promise that all dress orders would be delivered on time and bridal appointments would not be affected.
The filing, which was expected, comes as the retailer is struggling with a heavy debt load, increased competition from lower-priced competitors and changing bridal fashions. It is part of a previously arranged deal that David's Bridal reached with its lenders that will reduce its debt by more than $40 million and provide significant financial flexibility to support long-term growth prospects. The retailer expects to complete the court-supervised process by early January.
David's Bridal has received commitments for $60 million in new debtor-in-possession financing from existing lenders, along with a recommitment of its existing $125 million asset-backed loan, which will help it stay open for business during restructuring. The retailer said that customers can continue to shop across its more than 300 and online without disruption. Orders will arrive on time and bridal appointments will not be impacted.
"Today's announcement is just the next step in our efforts to proactively secure David's Bridal for a long, successful future," said CEO Scott Key. "We are implementing our consensual restructuring plan from a position of strength and, with the support of our lenders, noteholders and equity holders, the plan will allow us to reduce our debt significantly while continuing to run our business as usual."
Looking ahead, Scott said, the retailer will be able to allocate even more of its resources "towards making strategic investments in digital technologies and talent that will drive long-term growth and operational excellence at David's Bridal."
Private-equity firm Clayton Dubilier & Rice LLC acquired David's Bridal in a 2012 deal valued at $1.05 billion.
H-E-B tops Amazon as best grocery retailer in the U.S.


Upload By default, the MobiLink client automatically keeps track of which rows in the remote database have been inserted, updated, or deleted since the last successful synchronization. Once the connection is established, the MobiLink client uploads a list of all these changes to the synchronization server.
During MobiLink synchronization, there are few distinct exchanges of information. The client builds and uploads the entire upload. In response, the synchronization server builds and downloads the entire download. Limiting the chattiness of the protocol is especially important when communication is slower and has higher latency, as is the case when using telephone lines or public wireless networks.

The Top Five Trends Spotted at Sweets & Snacks Expo 2018
By Danielle Romano - 05/29/2018
CHICAGO — The National Confectioners Association's (NCA) 2018 Sweets & Snacks Expo wrapped up last week, but not before unwrapping the latest trends, flavors, products and innovations in both candy and snacks.
Here are the top five trends that caught Convenience Store News editors' attention on the show floor:
1. Competing With National Brands
Some candy and snack manufacturers are promising to bring consumers clean, simple and better-tasting alternatives to national brands that they say offer products made with added sugars, unnecessary dyes, and unhealthy methods of processing.
World Pea Peatos is just one example of a brand seeking to revolutionize the way people view salty "junk food" snacks, according to the company.
Peatos Crunchy Pulse Snacks use innovative production techniques and pulses — made from nutrient-packed, dry, edible seeds of beans, lentils, chickpeas and peas — to bring full flavor and nutrition to its snacks. Touted as the "healthier version of Cheetos," Peatos Classic Cheese flavored snacks contain 4 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber, are made without synthetic colors and artificial flavors, and are non-GMO. Four varieties are available: Classic Cheese, Fiery Hot, Chili Cheese and Masala.
In meat snacks, there's a new contender in Stryve Foods LLC's Biltong brand, whose offerings include slow-baked bites, sticks and Biltong (sliced beef strips). Targeting consumers who incorporate fitness into their lifestyles, Biltong is gluten-free, all-natural and made without additives, MSG or nitrates. One bag of Biltong contains as much as 36 grams of protein, Paige Brown, director of marketing for Stryve, told CSNews.
2. Chocolate Claims Its Stake
It's no surprise at a candy and snacks show that chocolate would have a significant presence, from bars, to being cascaded over popcorn, to being featured as part of snack mixes.
Mars Wrigley Confectionery unveiled a Sweet & Salty Mix for both the M&M'S and Snickers brands, alongside Milky Way Fudge.
White chocolate will also remain a focus for the confectionery and snack company, Jim Dodge, vice president of convenience for Mars Wrigley Confectionery, informed CSNews. TWIX White launched at this year's expo in finger-long packaging. It is the No. 2 confectionery product in convenience, Dodge cited.
Ruby chocolate also made a name for itself at the 2018 Sweets & Snacks Expo thanks to being awarded the inaugural namesake Ruby Award for Supplier Innovation as part of the Most Innovative New Product Awards. Barry Callebaut A.G. USA LLC's Ruby chocolate is made from the Ruby cocoa bean and, through a unique process, unlocks the flavor and color tone naturally present. No berries, berry flavor or color is added. It is the fourth flavor in the Barry Callebaut line of chocolates, which also includes White, Dark and Milk varieties.
The Hershey Co., meanwhile, continues to strike gold by focusing on the growth of its core brands. This year, Kit Kat Snack Mix joins the company's expansive portfolio and is the latest product in its "snackfections" line, which combines sweet and salty elements.
Hershey also continues to build on the momentum of two products: Hershey's Cookie Layer Crunch Bars and Hershey's Gold Standard Bar. As part of a Cookie Layer Crunch extension, Waffle Crunch will make its debut later this year, while the Gold Standard Bar — which came on the scene last year — was awarded this year's Most Innovative New Product in the expo's Chocolate category.
3. Movement in Non-Chocolate Chewy
Non-chocolate chewy is currently the "largest growth bubble" in confections and the fastest-growing category in convenience, Tracy Nappier, spokesperson for Spanish confectioner Fini, told CSNews editors.
This growth is being driven by new product introductions that speak to millennials and Gen Zers with innovative shapes and natural flavors, like Fini Kollisions and Fini Shock Tongues. The latter product, which has gained popularity in Europe, is currently the No. 1 U.S. item for the company, according to Napier. Fini also recently launched a line of gluten-free licorice.
Another player in non-chocolate chewy, Promotion in Motion, introduced a new Original Gummi FunMix product line. Available in six options — Gummi Party, Sour Party, Gummi Soda Pops, Fruit Rings, Berry Party and Seriously Sour — the multi-flavor packs feature mixes of gummies, sour gummies and other confections in fun shapes, flavors and colors. Five-ounce peg bags are available for a suggested retail price of $1.49-$1.99, and 10-ounce stand-up bags for $2.99.
Other players in the field include Bazooka Candy Brands and Perfetti Van Melle USA Inc. Bazooka is doubling down on gummy line extensions with RingPop Gummy Gems, which are shaped to resemble the jewels on the wearable pops and feature four flavor combinations, and Gummy Blast as part of its Baby Bottle Pop line. Gummy Blast features baby bottle-shaped gummies and strawberry fizzing powder.
On the Perfetti side, the company continues to build on the Airheads brand with the rollout of Airhead Gummies. These chewy candies are shaped to resemble the brand's balloon mascot. They come in six classic Airheads flavors.
4. Still Space For Jerky
Jerky has been building momentum over the last few years and it isn't slowing down.
Country Archer Jerky Co. showcased an expanded portfolio, which now includes collagen-crafted meat bars. The bars tout real ingredients like grass-fed beef, and a complex amino acid profile from collagen, dates and spices for a satisfying pre- or post-workout snack, according to the company. Three flavor profiles are available: Cayenne Beef, Herb Citrus Turkey and Sweet Barbeque Pork. The company also unveiled its latest jerky flavors with Hatch Chili Beef and Rosemary Turkey.
Meat snack powerhouse Jack Link's continues to innovate by breaking into the refrigerated space with its new Cold Crafted line, which pairs meat and real Wisconsin cheese. The packaged item doesn't have added sugars and features only 1-2 grams of carbs and 100 percent beef. The product is meant as an alternative to sandwiches, CSNews learned from a company executive.
The Lorissa's Kitchen brand from Jack Link's is also adding to its portfolio with an Original flavor, a consumer-requested variety, and the release of preservative-free Steak Strips.
5. Balls of Energy
Portable and popable, energy balls are becoming known as a popular alternative to energy bars, CSNews editors spotted.
Enjoy Life, a subsidiary of Mondelez International Inc., is expanding its allergen-free Protein Bites line with dark raspberry and chocolate banana varieties. Protein Bites have been reformulated without palm oil and are now offered in a five-bite pack for the front-end.
Additionally, the aptly named Protein Ball Co., based in the United Kingdom, showcased its line of all-natural, high-protein snacks. Of its eight varieties, each is made from consumers' choice of one of three protein sources: whey, egg whites or vegan.
Another brand, Bounce, similarly promises a product that is GMO- and gluten-free, vegetarian and provides anywhere from 8 to 13 grams of protein.

Q: How to splat a hash table to write-output for debugging? Using powershell, I'd like to print the result of splatting a hash table. This is an example I came up with (but the Write-Output doesn't work as I expect):
$SomePath = "C:\test\path"

$params = @{
    p = "$SomePath"
    r = "Foo"
    a = "Bar"
}

$destinationDir = ''

if (![string]::IsNullOrEmpty($destinationDir)) {
    $params['b'] = $destinationDir
}

Write-Output "Params: @params"

The result of Write-Output is literally:

Params: @params

Is there a way I can print the expansion of this command for debugging purposes? I'd also like to eventually store the expanded invocation to invoke later from a variable, like so (I assume it would work):
$cmd = "MyProgram.exe @params"
& "$cmd"

But if that's a whole new can of worms, I'm happy enough with getting just Write-Output to work in my initial example.
Here is my powershell version:
PS C:\> $PSVersionTable.PSVersion

Major  Minor  Patch  PreReleaseLabel BuildLabel
-----  -----  -----  --------------- ----------
7      0      3

A: If you want to observe the effect splatting has on a Win32 PE in your current shell, I would suggest using Add-Type to compile a simple debugging utility:
$sourceCode = @'
using System;
using System.Management;
using System.Diagnostics;
public class Program
{
  public static void Main(string[] args)
  {
    using (ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT CommandLine FROM Win32_Process WHERE ProcessId = " + Process.GetCurrentProcess().Id))
    using (ManagementObjectCollection procs = searcher.Get())
    {
      foreach (ManagementBaseObject process in procs)
      {
        Console.WriteLine(process["CommandLine"].ToString());
      }
    }
  }
}
'@

Add-Type -TypeDefinition $sourceCode -OutputType ConsoleApplication -OutputAssembly ~\printCmdline.exe

The resulting executable will print the command line arguments of its own process - exactly what we need to see.

Now that we have an executable to test against, let's see what happens:
$SomePath = "C:\test\path"

$params = @{
    p = "$SomePath"
    r = "Foo"
    a = "Bar"
}

~\printCmdline.exe @params

Which should print something like:
"C:\Users\void.pointer\printCmdline.exe" -r:Foo -p:C:\test\path -a:Bar

A: Note: Splatting only works reliably with PowerShell commands, because the way PowerShell translates it for external programs, as shown in Mathias' answer, is not a format that most external programs understand.
As Mathias points out in a comment on the question, you cannot directly get a splatting invocation's equivalent expressed as individual arguments.
However, you can use the Trace-Command cmdlet to trace parameter binding, IF you have a command (represented by $yourCommand below) that actually accepts the parameters specified in the hashtable:
Trace-Command -pshost -name ParameterBinding { & $yourCommand @params }

Note: Trace-Command's output is verbose and technical; interpreting it takes some practice.

Your desire to capture the equivalent of a splatting-based invocation in a command-line string is impossible to achieve in all cases, given the object-based nature of PowerShell: not all objects can be represented faithfully as strings.
That said, if you know that the arguments being passed are limited to strings, numbers, and switches, you can do the following:
# Sample hashtable used for splatting, limited to strings, numbers, switches.
$somePath = 'C:\test\path'
$params = [ordered] @{
    Path = "$SomePath" # string
    Count = 42         # number
    Skip = $True       # [switch] parameter, expressed as a [bool] value in splatting
}

# Translate the hashtable into an equivalent command-line string.
$params.GetEnumerator().ForEach({
  $val = $_.Value
  if ($val -is [string]) { $val = "'{0}'" -f $val.Replace("'", "''") }
  '-{0}:{1}' -f $_.Key, $val
}) -join ' '

The above yields a string with the following content:
-Path:'C:\test\path' -Count:42 -Skip:True

Prepending the command name to the string resulting from the above would give you a string representation of a complete command.
That string representation could be saved to a script file, for instance.
If you wanted to execute the string containing the command-line directly, you'd have to resort to Invoke-Expression, because &, the call operator, does not operate on entire command lines, only on the names/paths of commands specified via a variable, quoted string, or expression.
The obligatory warning about Invoke-Expression:
Invoke-Expression should generally be avoided and used only as a last resort, due to its inherent security risks. In short: Avoid it, if possible, given that superior alternatives are usually available. If there truly is no alternative, only ever use it on input you either provided yourself or fully trust - see this answer.
In general, if possible, use PowerShell's own, fully object-aware way of defining snippets of code to be executed on demand later, namely script blocks ({ ... }).

Rob Kardashian Is "Nervous" About Becoming A Father
I'm a garbage person, so I'll freely admit that I love Keeping Up With The Kardashians. I may not particularly like or respect the people in it, but I'll be damned if it doesn't make for some intensely watchable TV. I always used to feel bad for Rob Kardashian, to be honest. He was more introverted and low-key than the rest of the showboating family, he seemed really misunderstood and he wasn't really interested in being famous, unlike his sisters and even his mother. He also lost his dad, the one person he was super close to growing up, and was sorta left in the lurch. It was a shitty situation and no wonder he dealt with mental health issues. Things haven't necessarily improved over the years, either — now he's shacked up with Blac Chyna (or not — rumor on the street is that they broke up months ago because she couldn't deal with his issues) and getting ready to become a father. Uh oh!
While appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! this week, Rob's big sister Khloe admitted that her bro is "nervous" about being a dad but she thinks he'll be a good one when the baby is born.
"Rob has so many traits like my dad, so I think he's gonna be great with a baby. I'm sure he's nervous, I think any new dad should be."
"Chyna keeps going, 'Are you ready? We're having a baby!' But we meaning, her and I. And I'm like, 'Ah yes,' laughing it off, and now I'm beginning to think no, she's really serious, like it's really her and I."
Apparently they're going to televise the birth, because nothing in this family happens unless there's a camera crew around to document it and air it on E!
There's no doubt the baby will be taken care of — Mama K will see to that, and that's good. But parenting is far from being all about material goods, and I really worry for Rob in a parenting role when he's clearly so unstable on his own, let alone when looking after a baby. Chyna already has a son, King, from her relationship with Kylie's current boyfriend Tyga (WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS FAMILY?) and I'm not here to judge her parenting skills, but I'll just say God help the lot of them.

That is : How to organize a stress-free exhibition? The best is if someone else is the organizer and all you have to do is to set up your own stand. Exactly, what my way was. Having a kind invitation to participate was the first real help, as well as a real surprise, and extra power added to self estimation. Noticing this unexpected e-mail of allure of TICA cat show organizers, a few days just before the show was shocking though… First reaction could have been almost the entire list of emojis. Me, exhibiting my products? But how can I do that?! Research has begun… Net is my best friend so, I figured out it will solve my sudden problem. Basically, the five days long result of my search was: Be found. Spread the world. Bring people to your booth. Enhance your in-boot presence. Be generous. Go live… and so on. My confusion was even heavier. Then I just started getting things done by my ways. Normally, this is what I'd always do. Time is short? No worries. God has created the world in just seven days. Why could I not manage my challenge in a bit more time? Day by day I'd overcrossed certain tasks on my list and felt glad to have them completed. The last, I remember is to start welcoming sweet, sparkling eyed visitors.. So, where was the secret? Could it be just these stylish, elegant cat sofas I exhibited? Is it that simple? FELINEVA HELPS. FELINEVA TAKES IT FOR GRANTED. Actually it was the first TICA Show organzided by the new Hungarian KaTICA Cat Club. Three wonderful days with cat friends from all over the world, great judges, welcome cake , one of the best cat photographers the famous Helmi Flick and a very rare new breed Lykoi! lots of laugh, nice accomodation, super duper party with cocktail bar in this beautiful city of Székesfehérvár. Judit Józan and Szilvia Józan the loveliest host of the event - I am so happy that your dream came true and I was there!


In a recent article we discuss the issue of the use of permanent replacements for striking employees under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) Our discussion focuses on the efficiency aspects of the seminal 1938 case of NLRB v. Mackay Radio and Telegraph Co. In the article, we propose a "negotiations" approach, which we argue is likely to result in a more economically efficient interpretation of the Mackay doctrine. As has been the case with other proposals made with respect to this very contentious issue, our proposal has confronted some criticism. Professor William R. Corbett, in a recent piece in the Ohio State Law Journal, has attacked our proposal as "theoretically unsound" and unlikely to work in practice. In this article, we reply to Professor Corbett's criticism. In Part II, we briefly restate our initial proposal. In Part III, we present Professor Corbett's argument and respond to the criticisms he levies against our proposal. In Part IV, we discuss what we believe is the major flaw in Professor Corbett's attack, i.e., a misunderstanding of the labor relations process and its implications for the development of public policy with respect to the striker replacement issue.


So head on over to The Penningtons Blog to see what I've been up to, and of course, for all the deets on the amazing ensembles!!!
Summer is right around the corner, and we all know what that means!!! More shopping!!!
I've been busy putting together my summer wardrobe – lots of white, lots of color, and lots of prints and texture!
Today, I'm rocking this fun, tribal print bodycon dress from Forever 21+ (which is sadly, sold out right now, but similar options are available). I've paired it with these great turquoise wedges from Payless, some gold bangles, and these amazing, Forever 21 multicolored hoop earrings, for a bright, vibrant look that's perfect for summertime!
I'd like to start this post with an apology for these particularly blurry pictures. My youngest son threw my iPhone into his potty and peed on it. Why? Because he is three years old and is trying to ruin my life. Ha. Don't worry… I still love him.
In any event, I had promised a blog post to my Facebook fans, wearing this stunning Igigi maxi dress, so regardless of the fuzzy images – here it is!
All the dresses I've ever ordered from Igigi have been of excellent quality, and this one is no exception. It's fully lined and drapes absolutely perfectly on my body. The fabric is light yet dense and the print is rich and indulgent. I've paired it with a simple black canvas cork wedge from Wal Mart, a black Babooshka Boutique turban, wrapped around my bun, an oversized gold chain, gold teardrop hoop earrings, and gold cuff bracelet from Forever 21, to create an elegant, seductive look that works for any occasion, from tea with the ladies, an outdoor wedding, to cruise wear!
Just a note, from my experience, Igigi's maxi dresses run true to size, perhaps slightly larger, and tend to be quite long, so be ready to have your hem raised if you're anywhere under 5'11", or plan to wear flats.

CLEMSON, S.C. – The Clemson women's golf team is in 14th-place heading into the final day at the Allstate Sugar Bowl Invitational in New Orleans. In Monday's round, the Tigers shot 320 as a team at the English Turn Golf Club.
The tournament is annually one of the top women's college tournaments of the spring season. This year's field includes seven top 25 teams and all 15 teams in the field played in the NCAA Tournament last year.
LSU, the leader after the first round, holds on to the lead with a 588 two-day total. Host school Tulane and UCLA, the highest ranked team in the field, are tied for second with a two-day total of 589. Clemson is 14th with a 631 team score.
After her round did not count in Sunday's opening round, redshirt sophomore Lauren Salazar led the Tigers in Monday's round with a five over par 77, seven strokes better than her opening round. Taylor Ramsey, playing just her second round as a member of the Clemson lineup shot an 80, two shots better than her opening round.
Sophomore Jessica Hoang shot an 81, freshman Marisa Messana shot an 82, and sophomore McKenzie Talbert shot an 84.
For Tuesday's final round, Clemson will will tee off at 8 a.m. CT in a shotgun start and will play with UTSA and Michigan State. Live scoring can be found on golfstat.com.

From Nothing, Something
Unfortunately, due to the availability of the film, we have had to reschedule the Oct 13 screening of From Nothing, Something. It will now play on Monday, November 3 at 7pm. Apologies for any inconvenience.
Part of the Art, Design & Architecture series
Co-Presented by Overlap Associates
There have been many documentaries about the filmmaking process, some about the processes of artists, musicians, etc. But with this new and fascinating documentary from director Tim Cawley, From Nothing, Something, we get a unique perspective on the creative process painted on a much broader canvas.
Featuring interviews with musicians Tegan & Sara, composer Jay Greenberg, Hollywood creature designer Neville Page, novelist Tom Perrotta, and many more including a comedian, cancer researchers, an architect, a choreographer, and a chef, From Nothing, Something takes all of these different variations of artistic expression and dissects their individual processes and approaches to life and finds common threads that tie them all together. It is quite extraordinary to hear each artist talking about not only their approaches to their crafts, but their outlooks on life, how their art and their career affect their relationships, and the many neuroses that drive them all.
On the surface it would seem that such different people with such varied jobs would have much in common but through the candid and intimate interviews with each subject the film takes on the common theme of inspiration and drive through all of their eyes. The film is insightful, funny, touching, inspirational and utterly fascinating and ultimately reveals the art is what all of us do every day. - Toronto Film Scene

Commercial solar energy has emerged, as an excellent technique of saving money in recent years. Various building owners and businesses are adopting residential version of solar power for gaining its financial and operational benefits and profits. There are several reasons for investing in solar installment, other than it just being green.
Solar systems can be easily purchased now-a-days due to the belligerent financial incentives provided by the state and federal governments. A 30% of tax credit is given to the solar system installers by investment and federal tax credits. Also, different rebate systems are used by the local and state utilities for the reduction of overall expenses. It's an advantage that the rebate amount increases when the system's size is bigger.
A policy of net metering is also used by the states so that consumers have to pay only for the quantity of electricity used by them. This way, you can bank on the excessive amount of electricity produced and acquire 100% credit in return.
There are certain operating advantages of purchasing commercial solar panels Los Angeles, which are associated with the investment in solar systems. The operating costs of your building are reduced to a great extent by solar installation. You can use your savings to make payments for your solar system as there is a huge decrease in its utility costs. It also has the great potential to enhance different components of your company based on its business model.
You can avoid volatility, generally occurring in power markets, with help of solar power. Solar systems assist the consumers in producing cheap electricity and a specific electricity rate is guaranteed. This gives way to fixed expenses and more stable as well as foreseeable balance sheet.
There is no requirement of maintenance for solar systems, especially those which are purchased from a trustworthy dealer. It is easier to access these systems since the roof assembly of various commercial buildings is compatible with them. Aluminium of non-corrosive nature is used for framing and protecting the solar cells. Sturdy solar panels are provided so that the whole system can withstand hail, rain, etc.
You can control ever-increasing energy rates for about 25 years.
You get to assist in the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions and, in turn, market your green initiatives in front of your consumers for more business. Your employees will become more conscious of expenses and make an effort in saving money.
It's a sound investment as it will help you in facing economic crises efficiently and generate clean energy. This will ensure that your future generation gets a better and more pleasant future.
You will make important contributions to the climate protection and get to use a resource which supplies infinite power on correct application.
The resources used, i.e., sand and sun are inexhaustible and this will surely give a boost to your economic growth.
There are negligible drawbacks of using solar systems as it's suitable for all kinds of supplies such as local, electricity, ecological, private, etc.
Plus, PV cells are highly robust and thus, they don't break down so easily. It has been seen that solar panels come with a warranty of twenty to twenty-five years. So, you can sit back and relax as you will get to experience a reliable and functional solar system, which provides electricity for 25 years.
