Will Old Chang Kee's Snacks Turn Out to be a Tasty Treat for Investors?
Motley Fool 28 May 2019
Curry puffs
Anyone in search of a tasty snack in Singapore must have come across Old Chang Kee Ltd (SGX: 5ML), or OCK for short. It has been present in Singapore for over 60 years and manufactures and distributes a wide range of 30 types of snacks and food products such as curry puffs, chicken nuggets, fishballs, and chicken wings. The group has a few brands such as Old Chang Kee, Curry Times, Take 5, Mushroom and Bun Times. As of 31 December 2018, the group had a total of 88 outlets throughout Singapore.
With its wide portfolio of snacks and a ubiquitous presence around Singapore, OCK has managed to capture a dominant market share over the years, with the signature curry puff being one of its most recognisable products. It is also one of the major curry puff chains in Singapore, with the other being Tip Top – a brand owned by SGX-listed ABR Holdings Ltd (SGX: 533). What investors would like to know, though, is are there tasty growth prospects for this home-grown company? And can OCK grow its top and bottom lines?
Financial history and dividends
Source: Old Chang Kee's FY 2018 Annual Report
A quick look at OCK's five-year history does not paint an encouraging picture. Though revenue has steadily risen over the years from S$68.9 million in FY 2014 to S$85.5 million in FY 2018 (OCK has a March 31 year-end), net profit declined steadily over the years from a high of S$6 million to S$4 million in FY 2018. The main issues here are manpower costs (which have trended higher over the years due to inflation and a manpower shortage in the food and beverage sector) and rental expenses (which are ever-increasing as OCK is located mainly in shopping malls).
However, offsetting this is the fact OCK has had a very steady dividend history, paying out a total of 3 Singapore cents per year for FY 2017 and FY 2018, and 6 Singapore cents for FY 2016 (due to a 3 cent special dividend). At the last traded share price of S$0.79, OCK's historical dividend yield is 3.8%, paid twice-yearly.
Seasonal and new products continue to entice
OCK continues to innovate and release a variety of new snacks every few months, in order to satisfy Singaporeans' palate. These "seasonal" items are introduced as one-off items to generate buzz and to attract customers but can be added as permanent items to its range of products if they prove successful. Some of the recent new food items include the Nasi Lemak Curry Puff, Kaya Puff and Cheesy Curry Puff.
Overseas expansion plans
OCK also has an overseas presence, with one store in Australia (Perth), two in Malaysia, five in Indonesia and a new one in the UK (London). From the most recent annual report (segment breakdown), Australia and Malaysia's contribution to revenue are minimal, with both countries registering a loss after factoring in depreciation. Though the London outlet is receiving positive reviews, manpower costs continue to remain high and the outlet is unlikely to breakeven anytime soon.
Risks abound for the group
OCK has a strong brand franchise and a wide presence in Singapore. However, investors may wish to find out how the group intends to deal with the high manpower and rental costs before deploying their money to purchase its shares. Though the group is adept at coming up with new food item concepts, it may not be able to generate sufficient incremental revenue to offset rising costs. It is still early days for its overseas foray into London and so far the group has not managed to achieve the same level of success in overseas markets. Investors are advised to wait and watch for now.

As our vehicle crested a hill and the Athabasca Glacier came into view, there was an audible gasp from our daughter in the back seat. This particular spot along the Continental Divide is one of the most breathtaking sights in the Canadian Rockies, but it's especially captivating in winter when the entire scene is blanketed in glistening snow. With no other vehicles in sight, we pulled to the side of the road for a better look. Having the Icefields Parkway almost to yourself is part of the fun of travelling to Jasper in winter.
Dotted with 100 glaciers, amazing mountain scenery and a wide variety of wildlife, the 230-kilometre stretch of road between Lake Louise and Jasper is one of the most spectacular drives on the planet. We saw a huge bighorn sheep on the road shortly after the Athabasca Glacier stop. As beautiful as it is, driving the Icefields Parkway to Jasper in winter can be challenging and you should check road reports before you venture out. Parks Canada has a whole page of tips that can help you do it safely.
Shortly after we arrived in Jasper, my husband and I set out on a Downtown Foodies Tour with Jasper Food Tours. Longtime local Estelle Blanchette began offering these unique tours in May 2018. The tour includes stops at four different restaurants for samples of food and drink. "We have a fusion of cultures in Canada and in Jasper in particular," explained Blanchette, who moved there from Quebec 20 years ago. "As a result, we have a lot of locally owned niche restaurants." As we made our way through downtown, Blanchette shared her knowledge of local eateries along with the history and folklore behind local buildings and sites. Every tour is unique, but ours included stops at Jasper Brewing Company, Raven Bistro, De'd Dog Bar & Grill and Olive Bistro. We enjoyed elk meat loaf, slow-cooked ribs, stuffed falafel and churros with warm chocolate sauce. Each course was perfectly paired with a beverage — craft beer, wines or spirits. The food was great, the tour was fun and we were well fed by the end of it.
Just outside the town of Jasper, Marmot Basin is one of the top area attractions in winter and our kids hit the slopes the very next day. Marmot has a lot going for it, including the highest base elevation of all ski areas in the Canadian Rockies. There are 91 named runs on four mountain faces covering 1,720 skiable acres. With a fresh dumping of snow just before our arrival, the skiing was fantastic.
While the kids explored Marmot Basin, my husband and I went on a guided icewalk of Maligne Canyon with Sundog Tours. It's one of the top activities in Jasper in winter. Our guide Jeff Hanson explained that the tour was slightly modified because the canyon was not yet fully frozen. Outfitted in ice cleats and helmets, we made our way to the bottom of the canyon and walked among some incredible ice formations. Hanson explained the geology of the canyon as we went along and it was nice to have someone who knew the canyon well to direct us to the safe areas for exploration.
Before we headed home, we took a drive up to Maligne Lake looking for wildlife. The Maligne Valley is a wonderland in winter and there are many great spots to hike, snowshoe or cross-country ski. It's also a great area to look for wildlife and on a previous visit in winter, we saw a moose right beside the road. The drive is beautiful whether or not you see wildlife. On our way out of town, we stopped at Athabasca Falls for a short hike. The 23-metre falls are some of the most powerful in the Canadian Rockies and they are stunning in winter when blue water flows over the white ice formations. The sun was shining as we headed back to the car and we couldn't help but be excited for Round 2 on the Icefields Parkway. There's something magical about Jasper in winter and you discover it the minute you get on the road that leads there.
There are a number of hotels, motels and bed and breakfasts in the quaint town. We stayed in a suite that sleeps up to six people at Whistler's Inn in downtown Jasper.

River Hills Road is Not the Right Site for WHLL Mega-Sports Complex.
legal concerns

WNA Supports its Neighbors – More at Stake (October 5th, 2014)
Why is there a land run on eco-sensitive sites in Travis County?
In May 2014, CAMPO opened the FYs 2015-2019 STP-MM Call for Projects. In response, the City of Lakeway resurrected an idea, that according to the Austin-American Statesman July 4th, 2014, had died nearly a quarter of a century ago. Under the encouragement of Lakeway City Council Member Joe Bain, who was driven to this idea after facing traffic trying to attend a Round Rock Express Baseball game, the City of Lakeway proposed building an elevated 6-lane toll road that would cross Lake Austin, bisect two nature preserves, including land owned by the Nature Conservancy, and divide pre-existing residential neighborhoods. They requested $3 million dollars be allocated to do a feasibility study of this $750 million dollar proposed project. CAMPO voted, on June 9th, in the affirmative to put that proposal on its auxiliary list for long-range transportation plans and further review prior to final approval.
Quickly, our fellow neighbors banded together to address the issue and created a STOP THE TOLL ROAD committee. The committee is comprised of residents from both Sienna Hills and Barton Creek West as well as individual land owners along Bee Caves Road and residents of Bee Caves. And, at CAMPO's September 8th meeting, they spoke out against this proposed expressway.
The project, should it move forward, would traverse through many existing residential neighborhoods, require a new western bridge over Lake Austin, traverse Water Quality Protection Lands, bisect areas designated in the Habitat Conservation Plan, and run through areas designated in the City's Balcones Canyonlands Conservation Plan. It would not, however, sit anywhere inside the jurisdiction of the City of Lakeway.
It is discouraging to see which projects are being considered in our County these days. First, the mega-sportplex is proposed to be built atop the foothills of our hill country on land known to be environmentally sensitive with endangered species habitat. And, now, an elevated toll road is being proposed to bisect lands already under conservation plans.
With both come mass traffic on Ranch to Market (RM) 2244, a road designated by the City of Austin as Hill Country Road Corridor with a Scenic Vista (Ordinance 25-2-1103/1101). With both come lights at elevated heights polluting our previously pristine dark skies. And, with both come large scale environmental compromise of eco-sensitive sites.
Why are these sites being selected? Why are our elected officials, from the local school board to the County, not responding with a decisive "No" to proposals that are at odds with common sense and environmental protection? The answer is unclear.
What we do know is that the foothills of our Hill Country have a very unique and multi-faceted ecological footprint. And, our land, water, and skies are finite resources; they cannot be duplicated once eliminated. There can be no mitigation, retrospectively offered, that will be sufficient enough to repair the damage proposed to be done. That is why we are coming together now. Together, we are stronger. Together, we make a difference.
It is with deep appreciation for our neighbors' pro-active efforts, to oppose this project and to protect these environmentally sensitive lands, that the Westlake Neighborhood Alliance recognizes and supports their hard work.
Please take a few moments to learn more about the STOP THE TOLL ROAD committee and how you can participate before it's too late. Visit their website, or you can click here to send an email for more information. Public comments to CAMPO are very important. Monday, October 6th at 12 PM is the deadline for concerned citizens to let CAMPO know their thoughts. Please see CAMPOTEXAS.org website.

Hardback (03 Sep 2019) - Hardback original $27.30 $24.86
Paperback (03 Sep 2019) - Export ed $20.46 $18.77
The next exhilarating novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan.
At any other time, Julija Brennan would find solace in the quiet of the Sierra Mountains, but now the mage is in the race of her life. Having broken free from her controlling family, Julija's attempt to warn the Carpathians of the coming threat has failed and put a target on her back-and those who are hunting her are close behind....
After centuries locked away in a monastery in the Carpathian Mountains, Isai Florea can't believe he's finally found his lifemate-the missing half of his soul. The second he sees Julija, his world blazes with color. But despite their explosive connection, Julija rebels against what she sees as Isai's intent to control her and rejects the bond that would prevent him from becoming a monster.
As their unfulfilled bond continues to call to them both, Julija and Isai aim to complete the task that brought them together. They are used to facing danger alone, but now the mage and the ancient warrior must learn how to rely on each other in order to stop a plot that threatens all Carpathians....

Lawmakers are sounding the alarm on the coronavirus shuttering the USPS by June — and it could mean chaos for your Amazon deliveries
Rachel Premack Mar. 26, 2020, 3:28 AM
Two lawmakers predicted that the USPS could shut down by June. Justin Sullivan/Getty Images
Two US representatives said on Monday that the Postal Service might cease regular operations as early as June.
The lawmakers said the USPS had seen plummeting mail volumes and wouldn't survive the summer without immediate help.
A shutdown would be chaotic for Amazon, which heavily depends on the USPS to deliver its packages.
Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.
The US Postal Service could be kaput by June without financial help, said two lawmakers on the House committee with jurisdiction over the service.
That's not just bad news for all the places that still like to send physical junk mail instead of just emailing it, but for Amazon, which heavily depends on the USPS.
Reps. Carolyn Maloney and Gerry Connolly said in a statement on Monday that the coronavirus outbreak was leading to plummeting mail volumes and that the USPS "is in need of urgent help" from Congress and the White House. Maloney and Connolly said the Postal Service could shut down by the end of the summer unless it received swift emergency funding.
The lawmakers said the shutdown would cut Americans off from "vital goods and services" and impair voting by mail.
Another direct impact they didn't highlight would be your Amazon Prime deliveries.
While Amazon has rapidly taken its delivery network in-house in recent years, the mega-retailer still depends on the USPS to deliver many orders. As recently as July, the USPS was delivering about a third of Amazon packages, according to data from Rakuten Intelligence.
Amazon also pledged last April that it would soon deliver all Prime packages in one day. In rural America, the USPS would be a major part of that.
The Postal Service makes up a large percentage of deliveries in rural areas, where Amazon has not invested in its own so-called last-mile network. A December report from Morgan Stanley said it's not a coincidence: The retail giant was "cherry picking" America's densest ZIP codes and leaving areas where homes are more spread out – and more expensive to service – to the USPS.
But the service has a legal imperative to serve all US addresses, even low-margin, low-density rural neighbourhoods. Rural America is so costly to service that McKinsey has said that even drone delivery might not offset the costs.
If the USPS were to vanish, Amazon would have to build its last-mile network in rural America or set up partnerships with delivery giants like UPS. CEO Jeff Bezos has already plunged billions into accelerating Amazon's shipping network – its worldwide shipping costs increased by 43% in the fourth quarter of 2019 as online sales grew by only 15%.
The USPS and Amazon did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
The coronavirus outbreak is delivering yet another blow to the USPS
The Postal Service lost $US3.9 billion in fiscal 2018, according to a report from the Task Force on the United States Postal System. Its cumulative losses are nearing $US70 billion.
One major contributor to the USPS's woes is a 2006 law that required it to determine how much it would spend on pensions over the next 75 years and quickly build up a fund to cover that. According to the USPS's inspector general, the requirement to pre-fund retirement benefits accounted for $US54.8 billion of the agency's $US62.4 billion in losses from 2007 to 2016.
And the coronavirus pandemic is yet another hit to the USPS. To give it a boost, Maloney and Connolly introduced a bill that would provide it $US25 billion in emergency funding.
"Every community in America relies on the Postal Service to deliver vital goods and services, including life-saving medications," they said. "The Postal Service needs America's help, and we must answer this call."

Oh yes, this design attracts eyes! What a vivid idea, what a luxurious performance! The design of this smartphone is a story about how the world changes, how modern achievements conquer it and creates a new vision, new references, new values, and new philosophy. An example of the phenomenal popularity of Apple Watch that by their triumphal march around the world made the traditional watch brands make room significantly, confirms the fact that the modern world is changing and this change is fascinating.
The smartphone's body is decorated with a splendid picture of the globe with relief gold continents, while in the center of this unusual "globe" Apple Watch is going through as if it is demonstrating its expansion visually… More here.

Some people have WAY too much time on their hands. When First Lady Melania Trump tweeted a picture of her husband's birthday card, a tiny detail didn't get past the keen eyes of a few Twitter users.
Right there, between the words "birthday" and "Mr. President," a tiny, seemingly innocuous orange dot.
It could have been a printing irregularity on the card, or even a coffee stain, but of the over 50,000 users liked the first lady's post, several offered their theories about what else the stain could possibly be.
Small things occupy small minds. Thank God the Democrats are not in power–America would go nowhere!

Q: How to pass objects between layers of abstaction in c#? So, I have an application structured with the following layers:

As of now, I am not using any concept of Objects to get data from the bottom-most layer. I am simply using DataTables to get data out. I am not happy with this because it requires the Business Logic Layer to be aware of column names, etc.
In my Business Logic layer I have objects that are loaded from those DataTables and the service layer works with those objects via Collections of those objects.
Here's my question. If I wanted to have the Data Abstraction Layer accept and reply with Objects, how do I avoid referencing the DAL from the Service Layer? I've read that object factories are one way and also I've read I could build object transformation functions and so on.
What is the best way you've successfully employed this? My ultimate goal is to provide pluggable DALs for different Database server vendors.

A: A standard approach, and one I take often, is to have a common library of object models representing my domain: Customer, Order, OrderLine, etc, that are shared across all layers.
Better still, don't share the types across layers, just share the interfaces and have a factory available when instances are required.
You can then have a pluggable DAL, but your DAL still needs to conform to the contract of returning an ICustomer.
This doesn't stop references from being required, a reference to at least the interfaces are needed - as someone else has commented, other references, for the strong types or factories, could then be factored out - such as with IoC/DI frameworks.
The way I see it: a commom model is a cross-cutting concern in your application design, and shouldn't be seen as breaking the layering.
Update: this is a very vague explanation of the solution, so I stand to have it built upon.
Update 2: and now of course to answer your question.  A standard way to remove a reference to a DLL directly is to expose the contract via an interface, in your case a DAL method GetCustomers, your Service Layer talks to the interface, but requests a DAL instance via a Dependency Injection / Inversion of Control framework, or more easily, a factory.  I usually go the factory route for small apps, it involves another DLL.  Service Layer will reference interfaces and factory, DAL will reference interface, factory will reference interface and DAL.

A: Define simple objects (or interfaces) in a "Common" assembly, and use those.
For this to work, all layers / assemblies that need to exchange data will need to reference this common assembly; because of that you'll want to make the common assembly very very lean in terms of it's dependencies - otherwise you'll pollute the rest of your app.

A: Another approach is to use plain-old-clr-objects (POCO).  Your data abstraction and business layer can leverage this.  Under the POCO domain model, typically you'd use a tool like nhibernate to manage persistance.
Rather than interfaces, nhibernate introduces a "proxy" to introduce persistence behaviour invisibly, through decoration (XML file or Attributes) .  You can get quite productive with this approach once you get used to it.
Further, all three layers can leverage the same simple POCO objects which can simplify things somewhat.
re: different assemblies, either put the objects in a shareable assembly, or (like MS often do), use code generation to generate the same POCO "schema" in other layers.  Sometimes an intermediate assembly is just not shareable... or you'd like to introduce variations in the additional layers (perhaps due to security concerns).  So the link is to just depend on serialization, yet at the same time define once (the POCO schema) and introduce the schema to different layers through tooling (the code generation part).
Hope that helps.

A: For a simple application, I like to...

*

*Use an ORM within my DAL to simplify data access (Entity Framework)

*Use the repository pattern for CRUD operations (Repository Pattern)

*Use the repository pattern as an abstraction of the DAL, mapping ORM's object to DTOs or model/domain objects (DTO)

Also I...

*

*Use a Dependency Injection framework for repositories, this allows you to plug any database (StructureMap)

*Write unit tests and mock my repositories (NUnit)

However, if I had a new project, I would go code-first with EF4 instead of having a ORM-DTO mapping layer. (Code-First wit EF4)
Peace!

The Capital Guardian Youth ChalleNGe Academy (CGYCA), located in Laurel, Md. is a life intervention, dropout reintegration, and General Education Development (GED) preparatory program, run by the District of Columbia National Guard in partnership with the Office of the State Superintendent of Education for the District of Columbia.
The D.C. National Guard has always served its community, but began to invest in local youth more directly in 1968 when the first Youth Leaders Camp was held.
During the 1990's, the Rockefeller Foundation saw the need to provide opportunities for young people in the United States working to overcome problems in their lives. In 1991 the Joint Armed Services Committee directed the National Guard to determine how best to add value to America by providing value, skills, education and self-discipline to young people, while incorporating the structure and esprit de corps found in the military model. A five-year ChalleNGe Pilot Program began operating in 1993 in 10 states under Public Law 102-484. ChalleNGe has since been embraced by more than 27 states and the District of Columbia.
Prior to 2013, the D.C. National Guard conducted the CGYCA in partnership with the Maryland National Guard. On average the D.C. National Guard was sponsoring about 10 graduates per class, although estimates showed that the D.C. National Guard should have been averaging about 30. Citing the District's unique population and need for their own facility, the D.C. National Guard was passionate about finding a permanent location that could produce greater results.
In 2013, a 40-acre rehabilitated detention center owned by the District of Columbia government was turned into a 16-building, state-of-the art educational campus for the District of Columbia National Guard's CGYCA and in 2013, the CCGYC was recognized as an independent program. Fifty-one youths were members of the first graduating class at the new facility on Dec. 11, 2013.
The academy is a 5 1/2 month long residential "military style" academy structured to promote an academic environment where students will earn a District of Columbia High School Diploma, develop leadership, job skills, and academic skills, while improving self-esteem, pride, and confidence.
Now in its fourth year of operation, the campus was renamed Camp Schwartz, MG Errol R. Schwartz, District of Columbia National Guard Training Site in honor of its biggest proponent on May 15, 2017. The road leading to Maj. Gen. Errol R. Schwartz Youth Challenge Facility was also renamed: MG Errol R. Schwartz Way. The dedication also included a groundbreaking on a large construction phase on the 30-acre site, a training facility for Soldiers and Airmen within the D.C. National Guard.

The revelatory memoir of Lezley McSpadden--the mother of Michael Brown, the African-American teenager killed by the police officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri on August 9, 2014--sheds light on one of the landmark events in recent history.
When Michael Orlandus Darrion Brown was born, he was adored and doted on by his aunts, uncles, grandparents, his father, and most of all by his sixteen-year-old mother, who nicknamed him Mike Mike. McSpadden never imagined that her son's name would inspire the resounding chants of protesters in Ferguson, Missouri, and ignite the global conversation about the disparities in the American policing system. In Tell the Truth & Shame the Devil, McSpadden picks up the pieces of the tragedy that shook her life and the country to their core and reveals the unforgettable story of her life, her son, and their truth.
Lezley McSpadden is the mother of Michael Brown, and founder of The Michael O. D. Brown We Love Our Sons & Daughters Foundation. The organization advocates for justice, improving health, advancing education, and strengthening families. McSpadden also founded its signature program, Rainbow of Mothers, which was established to support mothers who have suffered the devastating loss of a child. She lives in St. Louis, MO with her family. Lyah Beth LeFlore is the author of eight books, including the novels Last Night a DJ Saved My Life and Wildflowers; the teen book series The Come Up; the New York Times bestseller I Got Your Back, and NAACP Image Award-winning The Strawberry Letter. LeFlore is also a television and film producer who has been profiled in the New York Times, Essence, Ebony, and Entertainment Weekly.


We empower young people in the process of leaving the Haredi world to realize their full potential and successfully integrate into mainstream Israeli society.
Approximately 1,300 individuals choose to leave Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) society each year in Israel. Due to the fact that Haredi society tends to be insular and unsupportive of those who choose to leave the fold, those who make the choice to leave are often cut off from their families and traditional support systems as they navigate an unfamiliar world.
Providing these young people with a sense of community and support, while also helping them bridge significant social, cultural and educational gaps, enables them to become independent and contributing members of society, and to realize their full educational, professional and personal potential.
Out for Change (OFC) was founded in 2013 by a group of former Haredim who were driven by their personal experiences to help others who have chosen a similar path and by the belief in the incredible potential that former Haredim have to contribute to Israeli society. Using a holistic approach, we offer assistance to anyone who asks for help, at any stage of the process and endeavors to meet any and all needs, whether in-house or through referrals to partner organizations and public services.

NTT, AT&T, Verizon topped 2012's revenue charts, says Infonetics
by Sean Buckley |
NTT, AT&T (NYSE: T) and Verizon (NYSE: VZ), a new Infonetics report reveals, were the three dominant revenue generators in world's top 60 service providers.
"NTT, which passed AT&T as the top revenue-generating service provider in 2011, remains the number-one service provider in the world in terms of revenue and capital expenditures, and in 2012 it became the leader in terms of operating expenses as well," said Maria Zeppetella, market analyst manager at Infonetics Research and lead analyst on the report.
Despite NTT's lead, AT&T and Verizon continue to be strong domestic and global players.
AT&T reported in 2012 revenues of $127.4 billion with ongoing gains in next-gen consumer and business services such as Ethernet. It also made its boldest capex announcement in 2012 with the announcement of its $14 billion Project VIP initiative, which will expand both wireless and wireline capabilities.
Verizon, meanwhile, reported that 2012 revenues rose 4.5 percent to $115.8 billion. Like AT&T, it saw gains in its FiOS subscribers and IP-based business services such as cloud and Ethrernet.
Of course, AT&T and Verizon face some key challenges, especially on the business services side, due to the ongoing economic crisis in the U.S. and in Europe.
But one company that the telcos need to fear is Comcast (Nasdaq: CMCSA), which Infonetics says is "the only pure cable operator among the top 10 revenue generators."
AT&T sees consumer services grow to $5.5 billion in Q4, driven by IP data
Verizon FiOS lifts wireline consumer revenues to $14 billion in 2012
Orange, BT take top spots in the global Ethernet market, says VSG

Column: If Stephen Hawking is right about Earth's end, keep an eye on the deer
Prosecutor: Man dragged, critically hurt Chicago officer because license was suspended and he was afraid of going to jail
By William Lee
A North Side man accused of dragging a Chicago police officer until he crashed his vehicle, flinging the officer into a concrete wall, said he panicked because he was driving on a suspended license and had smoked marijuana, prosecutors told a judge Wednesday.
The judge denied bail for Aaron Okelola, 25, at the hearing broadcast on YouTube, deriding the man for what he called turning a finable offense into a felony attempted murder case punishable by up to 80 years in prison if convicted.
Okelola, of Chicago's Noble Square neighborhood, faces a class X attempted murder of a police officer charge, along with misdemeanor fleeing and eluding, and driving on a suspended license charges.

Prosecutors said city lightpole cameras and the officer's bodyworn cameras captured Okelola's 2008 Chevy Impala speeding away from a traffic stop in the first block of West 95th Street with the 30-year-old officer's body partially inside the car's window holding on to the car's door and dashboard.
Just after 7:30 p.m. Monday, the Impala veered across three lanes of oncoming traffic and drove over a concrete center median before striking a fixed metal beam at the recently renovated 95th Red Line terminal, prosecutors said.
The impact of the collision threw the officer into a cement wall and fence area of the CTA bridge with such force that his skull was fractured in three places, according to Assistant State's Attorney James Murphy.

The officer was knocked unconscious, but his partner was able to radio in backup and take Okelola into custody, authorities said.
The officer, who is a four-year veteran, was rushed to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he underwent surgery to relieve swelling caused by the three skull fractures, Murphy said. He also suffered a fractured jaw and a bruised shoulder, knee and back.
Following his arrest, Okelola allegedly told police that he was scared because his driver's license is suspended, he had been smoking weed in the car and he didn't want to go to jail, Murphy said. He also allegedly admitted to dragging the officer, who was yelling for him to "Stop the car, buddy, I got the wheel!" Murphy said.
Okelola's court-appointed attorney asked the judge to deny the state's attorney's no bail request, adding that despite the murder charge, her client's actions showed no premeditation or intent. A Wells Community Academy graduate, Okelola works as an electrician's apprentice and supports two young children, and was prepared to post $10,000 as 10% of a $100,000 bail, she added.
"He can keep his 10,000 (dollars) — he won't need it," Judge John F. Lyke Jr. said in denying bail, calling Okelola a danger to the public.
Okelola returns to court next month.

Q: Bean of type UserDAO that could not be found Spring Boot, Spring Data Java What could I miss?

Description: Field userDAO in com.solopov.hillel.uquiz.service.UserService required a bean of type
  'com.solopov.hillel.uquiz.dao.UserDAO' that could not be found.
Action: Consider defining a bean of type
  'com.solopov.hillel.uquiz.dao.UserDAO' in your configuration.

Main class:
package com.solopov.hillel.uquiz;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication
public class UquizApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(UquizApplication.class, args);
    }
}

DAO class:
package com.solopov.hillel.uquiz.dao;

        import com.solopov.hillel.uquiz.model.User;
        import org.springframework.data.repository.CrudRepository;
        import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;

@Repository
public interface UserDAO extends CrudRepository<User,Integer> {
    User findUserByLoginLike(String login);
}

Service class which uses DAO:
@Service
public class UserService {
    @Autowired
    private UserDAO userDAO;

    public boolean addAccount(User user) {
        if (!isRegistered(user)) {
            userDAO.save(user);
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
}

UPD:
After adding the annotation @EnableJpaRepositories
 to the main class, I got an error:

BUSES, TRAINS AND ONE BITTER BATTLE
Written on the 29 January 2015 by Laura Daquino
THE LNP'S "public transport revolution" package has left the industry divided - within it a commitment to creating thousands of jobs - but the Queensland Bus Industry Council (QBIC) says the plan is a death trap for many Queensland companies.
The QBIC has been left fuming following the LNP's proposal to launch a new bus tender process and zone in on rail infrastructure, claiming this will see many Queensland bus companies go out of business as interstate counterparts have the ability to initially run at a loss to meet the Government's new criteria.
Executive director of the QBIC, David Tape, has called for more frequent bus schedules and investment in bus infrastructure, drawing on figures that buses account for more than 67 per cent of public transport in south east Queensland and more than 93 per cent in regional Queensland.
He perceives this as more likely to occur under a Labor government considering the party's endorsement of the QBIC's transport blueprint 'Moving People Queensland' and a letter of commitment from Labor deputy leader Tim Mulherin (pictured) to scrap the tender process and establish a new independent statutory authority to guide the State's infrastructure program if elected.
"Every bus on the road is estimated to save 50 cars, and if we focus on better bus infrastructure and more services, we won't need to keep building as many roads," says Tape.
"We welcome Labor's commitment as it will provide for certainty of contracts and a continuation of business for small and medium bus operators in Queensland.
"Finally there is some hope to retain Queensland business and Queensland jobs."
This comes after Premier Campbell Newman's statement that the LNP's public transport package will lead to "a public transport revolution for south-east Queensland that will create thousands of new jobs" across construction and transport operations.
Key elements of the LNP's plan include providing $1 billion to deliver the BaT tunnel, an underground bus and train tunnel in Brisbane CBD that will deliver 48 extra trains and 160 buses; adding an extra 5000 car spaces near train stations and bus hubs over the next six years; and supporting Stage 2 of the Gold Coast Light Rail.
Speaking on the Light Rail, Newman criticised Labor's management of Stage 1 while claiming the LNP would deliver the project "at the best price for taxpayers".
The LNP says its project would remove 2.3 million car trips a year off the road network by 2028.
"While Labor left a $300 million black hole after bungling the planning of Stage 1, we will do the proper planning to ensure Stage 2 delivers better services for passengers on the Gold Coast at the best price for taxpayers," says Newman.
Gold Coast Central Chamber of Commerce (GCCCC) President Peter Yared has applauded the LNP on its commitment to deliver Stage 2 of the light rail and says it is an essential addition for the future economic growth and development of the city.
"Our next task is to ensure this important project is fast tracked," he says.
"It is essential that the extension is delivered before the 2018 Commonwealth Games - to both support the event and remain a legacy of the games itself.
"In addition, the first stage of the light rail created bad stigma in regards to the impact it had on small business, however looking to the second stage that will run up to Helensvale, I do not believe it will not come close to affecting as many businesses because it is travelling through residential areas and bushland.
"Although, for the few businesses along the route, the GCCCC will engage with key stakeholders in an attempt to achieve better management, planning and compensation for business owners that will be directly affected by the construction phase of the initiative."

Q: nested preprocessor directives using backslash for joining lines systemverilog allows lines to be concatenated with a trailing "\", and this is used very commonly with the tick ("`") preprocessor commands. So the following 2 sets of definitions are identical:
`define A(b) b + \
        5
`define A(b) b + 5

Similarly, in the following code, the definitions of X and P are expected to be identical. The only difference is that one version uses the "\" and the other version does not.
`define Y
`define X(a) `ifdef Y \
            `define Z a+2 \
            $display(`Z); \
        `endif
`define P(a) `ifdef Y `define R a+2 $display(`R); `endif

module m();
  initial begin
    `X(5) // expands as: $display(5+2);
    $display(`Z); // expands as: $display(5+2);
    `P(7) // expansion was empty, but no error reported
    $display(`R); // this reports an error: cyclical definition of R
  end
endmodule

But, as the comments mention, one of the versions does not work with the comercial simulators. So my question is: why is the second version wrong, and what exactly are the semantics of "\" for joining consecutive lines, especially in the context of using within `define and other preprocessor commands?

A: Anything that is written after define is considered as macro name and anything after a space after macro name is considered as macro value/text. The optional formal arguments are delimited with braces as shown below.

text_macro_definition ::= `define text_macro_name macro_text
text_macro_name ::= text_macro_identifier [ ( list_of_formal_arguments
  ) ]
list_of_formal_arguments ::= formal_argument { , formal_argument }
formal_argument ::= simple_identifier [ = default_text ]
text_macro_identifier ::= identifier

Here, in order to compile successfully, you have to consider define R a+2 as one line and $display as another line. The simulator will not understand by itself that when to end the define macro value and when to start another $display line.
It gets expanded as an assignment and display in a single line:
// Actual expansion
<macro> R = a+2 $display(R);
// Intended expansion
<macro> R = a+2 // assign value to R
$display(R); // then display R

If more than one
  line is necessary to specify the text, the newline shall be preceded by a backslash ( \ ).

The issue in this code is that there is no delimiter for the define of R. So R is getting defined as full a+2 $display(R). Now if we add a \, then the simulator understands that it is a new line and hence it considers $display as next statement in compiling.
`define P(a) `ifdef Y `define R a+2 \
$display(`R); `endif

Refer to IEEE 1800-2012 Sntax 22-2 for more information.

U.K. election upset complicates Brexit
British Prime Minister Theresa May was battling to hold on to power this week after her ruling Conservative Party suffered a shock collapse in the U.K. election, hobbling her leadership just days before crucial Brexit negotiations with the European Union were set to start. May called the election three years early in the hope of bolstering her small parliamentary majority ahead of the talks. But Conservatives ended up losing 13 seats and their parliamentary majority in last week's election, following a turbulent campaign in which young voters flocked to the hard-left leader of the opposition Labor Party, Jeremy Corbyn. Labor defied expectations to gain 30 seats—but the Conservatives remained the largest party in the House of Commons. They were expected to form a government with Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party. Facing down rumored leadership challenges from Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and other Conservatives, an embattled May told her party, "I got us into this mess, and I'll get us out of it."
Corbyn called on May to step down, saying she had lost her authority to negotiate a deal with the EU. "She wanted a mandate," he said. "The mandate she's got is lost Conservative seats [and] lost confidence."
What the columnists said
An aloof, robotic shoo-in who threw away a 20-point lead against a supposedly disastrous opponent. "Sound familiar?" asked Mary Ann Sieghart in Politico.eu. "Theresa May was the Hillary Clinton of this election." Now the prime minister's plan for a "hard Brexit" that pulls Britain from the European single market is in chaos. If Democrats in the U.S. take anything from May's humiliating defeat, said John Judis in NewRepublic.com, it's that "Millennials are moving left." Under-35s backed Corbyn by a whopping 40-point margin. Fed up with the shortage of wellpaid jobs and affordable housing, young-people across the West are embracing the kind of anticapitalist, anti-austerity politics of Corbyn, Sen. Bernie Sanders, and other true progressives.
Corbyn bought off the young, David Cowan in TheAmerican Conservative.com. He promised them an unaffordable list of giveaways—Free college! Canceled student debt!—that would be funded by tax hikes and borrowing. The Labor leader's rise should trouble the West, said Michael Totten in TheAtlantic.com. Corbyn isn't some "anodyne Danish-style socialist." He's a Hezbollah-hugging, IRA-sympathizing fellow traveler "so far to the left that he makes Sanders look like Dick Cheney."
Brexit, Trump, Corbyn—there's a common thread to these upsets, said Michael Brendan Dougherty in NationalReview.com: "People want to do what they are told they cannot do." The establishment warned them Brexit would be a disaster. They voted for it anyway. They were told to avoid Trump and Corbyn. Their approval ratings surged. Voters are bored, hopeless, and will now back anything that looks like a real choice— "and the only real choices are the ones that earn the sniffing disapproval of the establishment." ■

Q: Codeship Pro on_fail accross step Is the on_fail directive of a step run when a previous step has failed ?
I'm using these steps :
- name: fail intentionally
  service: busybox
  command: false
- name: check if onfail is called
  service: busybox
  command: true
  on_fail:
    - command: echo reporting failure

Calling jet steps produces the following output :
(step: fail intentionally)
(image: busybox) (service: busybox) Image exists, using cached image
(step: fail intentionally) error ✗
(step: fail intentionally) container exited with a 1 code

My on_fail is not run.
Is that an issue with the jet utility or would things behave the same in Codeship ?

A: You have defined an on_fail contingency for the second test step (a step that will not fail). If the on_fail was set for the first step (which fails and stops the build), you would have noted the echoed statement.
This behavior would be consistent with a build running in CodeShip Pro.

Two infective larval forms of Tetrarynchoidea-cestode were vomited from a domestic cat in 1995. The worms were identified with the plerocercoid of Nybelinia surmenicola by their morphological features, especially the shape and numbers of hooks on the proboscis. This is the first case of Nybelinia-plerocercoid infection in a domestic cat in Japan.


Albert Quesada (Spain, 1982), is a Spanish dancer and choreographer based between Brussels and Barcelona. He trained at MDT (Amsterdam) and PARTS (Brussels) after his studies of philosophy and multimedia engineering in Barcelona. The exploration and translation of musical structures and compositions into choreography and the invitation of an audience to perceive and to listen to the proposed works, stands at the heart of Quesada's choreographic work. Next to that, Albert is intrigued by group movement and dynamics, sparkled by his collaboration with ZOO/Thomas Hauert. Under the company ACME, he holds many artistic projects, both educational and for the stage. This is together with his long term collaborators Marcus Baldemar, Federica Porello, Mireia de Querol, and Zoltán Vakulya.
Together with Katie Vickers he co-directs two educational programs in the USA: the theatre and dance summer program at Mercersburg Academy, and the Practicing Performance / International Dance Festival at the Ohio State University.
In 2005 Albert created Solo on Bach & Glenn which has been touring since, and which gave birth to the duet Solos Bach & Gould (2010). This was followed by Trilogy (2011), created with Vera Tussing, an evening of three short pieces exploring musical structures. Albert then expanded into larger, group choreographies with the pieces Ensemble (2012), Slow Sports (2012) and Wagner & Ligeti (2014), an examination of our understanding of orchestral music, Slow Sports Outdoors (2014), Slow Sports Kids (2015), OneTwoThreeOneTwo (2015), a duet inspired by the world of flamenco, and VIVA (2016), where the amateur group De Genoten dances to Vivaldi's Four Seasons.
Since June 2009 Albert has been dancing with the company ZOO – Thomas Hauert (Accords, You've Changed, In Vivo Danse, Mono, Inaudible). He has also performed for Benjamin Vandewalle. His next collaboration will be with the contemporary music composer Octavi Rumbau for 2017.
Albert Quesada (Espanya, 1982) és un ballarí i coreògraf espanyol basat entre Barcelona i Brussel·les. Es va formar a MDT (Amsterdam) i PARTS (Brussel·les) després dels seus estudis de filosofia i d'enginyeria multimèdia a Barcelona. L'exploració i la traducció d'estructures musicals i composicions en la coreografia i la invitació a l'espectador a percebre i escoltar les obres proposades, se situa al cor del seu treball coreogràfic. Al costat d'això, Albert està intrigat pel moviment i la dinàmica de grup, inspirat per la seva col·laboració amb ZOO / Thomas Hauert.
Sota el nom de la companyia ACME, porta a terme molts projectes artístics, tan educatius com per escena. Això és juntament amb els seus col·laboradors de llarg termini Marcus Baldemar, Federica Portello, Mireia de Querol, i Zoltán Vakulya.
Juntament amb Katie Vickers codirigeix dos programes educatius als Estats Units: un programa de teatre i dansa d'estiu a Mercersburg Academy, i Practicing Performance / Festival Internacional de Dansa a la Universitat Estatal d'Ohio.
Al 2005 Albert crea Solo on Bach & Glenn que ha estat girant des de llavors, i que va donar pas al duo Solos Bach & Gould (2010). Això va ser seguit per Trilogy (2011), creada amb Vera Tussing, una nit de tres peces curtes que exploren les estructures musicals. Albert després es va expandir a coreografies més grans, grupals amb les peces Ensemble (2012) i Slow Sports (2012), i Wagner & Ligeti (2014), un examen de la nostra comprensió de la música orquestral, Slow Sports Outdoors (2014) Slow Sports Kids (2015), OneTwoThreeOneTwo (2015), un duet inspirat pel món del flamenc, i VIVA (2016), on el grup amateur De Genoten balla les Quatre Estacions de Vivaldi.
Des de juny de 2009 Albert ha ballat amb la companyia ZOO - Thomas Hauert (Accords, You've Changed, In Vivo Danse, Mono, Inaudible). També ha ballat per Benjamin Vandewalle.
El nou projecte d'ACME serà una col·laboració amb el compositor Octavi Rumbau per a L'Auditori de Barcelona.
Albert Quesada (España, 1982) estudió en P.A.R.T.S. (2004-2008) Bruselas, y en Hogeschool voor de Kunsten (MTD, 2003-2004) Amsterdam.

Le siguió Trilogy (2011), creado con Vera Tussing, una noche de tres piezas cortas sobre estructuras musicales. Después Albert expandió sus coreografías, con la piezas grupales Ensemble (2012) y Slow Sports (2012).

Su último dúo, UnDosTresUnDos está inspirado en el mundo del flamenco. Está actualmente dirigiendo VIVA para el grupo amater De Genoten.Y a continuación, Albert colaborará con el compositor de música contemporánea Octavi Rumbau.
I am after the human body. I am after a language that enables the human body to expand its notion of itself. A human language which is way more diverse, inclusive, specific, expanded, wet, dry, high and low. I am interested in the full potential of the perception of the body and therefor the treating/handling of or dealing with the body. I'd like to get there through dancing and writing.
Zoltán Vakulya studied acting and directing between 2005-2006 and choreography at the Budapest Contemporary Dance University from 2006-2008.
