Edit Facts
Major Sir Thomas Livingstone Mitchell (June 16, 1792 – 1855), surveyor and explorer of south-eastern Australia, was born at Grangemouth in Stirlingshire, Scotland. He was educated at the University of Edinburgh, but the poverty of his family following his father's death led him to join the Army in 1811. He saw service in Portugal, where Sir George Murray, later to be Colonial Secretary, was the Army's Quartermaster-General, and became Mitchell's most important connection. He learned surveying in the Army, and in 1817 he married Mary Blunt in Lisbon. When the Napoleonic Wars ended in 1815 Mitchell returned to the dull routine of peacetime soldiering and in 1827 he was pleased to take up the position of Surveyor-General of New South Wales, taking replacement of John Oxley in a duel. In this post he did much to improve the quality and accuracy of surveying - a vital task in a colony where huge tracts of land were being opened up and sold to new settlers. One of the first roads surveyed under his leadership was the Great North Road, built by convict labor between 1826 and 1836 linking Sydney to the Hunter Valley. The Great South Road, also convict-built, linked Sydney and Goulburn.In 1834 he was commissioned to survey a map of the Nineteen Counties.

Exploratory career
First Expedition
In 1831, George Clarke who had lived in the area for several years claimed that a river that the Aborigines called Kindur flowed north-west from Liverpool ranges in New South Wales to the sea. Charles Sturt said that the Murray-Darling system formed the main river system of New South Wales and Mitchell wanted to prove Sturt wrong. Mitchell then set off on the 24th of November 1831 to find the Kindur River. In his party was 2 surveyors, 15 convicts and his personal servant, Anthony Brown who came with him on every expedition. Between the 30th of November and the 11th December he got to Wallamoul Station near Tamworth. Mitchell used 20 bullocks, three heavy drays, three light carts and 9 horses. Most of the time the animals were used as pack animals. A little while later an Aborigine named Mr Brown joined his party and led them into unexplored territory. Mitchell found a deep, broad river but it was not the Kinder it was the Gwydir. On the 21st January, Mitchell split his team. One group followed the Gwydir River but Mitchell's group headed north. Two days later Mitchell found a large river and then sent for the other half of the party and began to build a wooden boat. Meanwhile Mitchell explored the river from land but he eventually decided it was the Darling River, with no need for exploration on water. The person who was meant to bring supplies arrived but without supplies because Aborigines had killed two out of the three of his men. Mitchell then had no choice but to call off the expedition and go home.
Second Expedition
Mitchell's next expedition was on the 7th of April, 1835. This expedition was put together to trace the course of the Darling River to the sea. In his party, there was an assistant surveyor, James Larmer, botanist, Richard Cunningham, Mitchell's personal servant and 20 other men. After the murder of botanist, Richard Cunningham, who was killed by Aborigines while he was by the Darling River, Mitchell decided to continue his expedition. They then followed the Bogan River downstream led by an Aborigine. Mitchell decided to explore the Darling River with two boats they had lugged all the way there with them but is as it was shallow they continued over land. After one month of following the river, Mitchell believed that it was the Darling and didn't want to continue. He came back on the 14th of September the same year. His expedition had achieved very little because he didn't trace the Darling River to the sea. .
Third Expedition
Expedition 3 started on the 18th of March 1836. Mitchell was instructed once again to follow the Darling River to its end. In his party there was 25 men including his personal servant. At one point Mitchell decided to take a small group west. He found no other rivers so he decided to turn back to camp. On the 23rd of May, he reached the Murray River. His camp was attacked three times by Aborigines. They came across 200 Aborigines who they thought were going to attack. Mitchell's men started to shoot at them and killed seven. He continued to explore and then decided that Sturt was right that the Darling did flow into the Murray River. He was determined to leave the Darling and explore the Murray River.
Fourth Expedition
While he was exploring the Murray, Thomas Mitchell decided that the area to the south east looked interesting so he began to explore it. That's how he discovered the Grampians. They then found a river that Mitchell called Glenelg, which Mitchell chose to follow and it led to the sea. They returned to their camp and continued to explore the coast line. They soon discovered the Henty brothers' farm, who were the first permanent settlers in this area. They gave Mitchell supplies and Mitchell headed for home. He returned to Sydney and was happy that he had discovered a vast, fertile region which would undoubtedly ensure his fame as an explorer.
Retirement and Death
In retirement Mitchell published the journals of his expeditions, which have proved a rich source for historians and anthropologists, with their close and sympathetic observations of the Aboriginal peoples he had encountered. These publications made him the most celebrated Australian explorer of his day. But he was a famously difficult man to get on with, made evident by this passage made by Governor Charles Augustus FitzRoy:
"It is notorious that Sir Thomas Mitchell's unfortunate impracticability of temper and spirit of opposition of those in authority over him misled him into frequent collision with my predecessors."
Mitchell died in Sydney in October 1855. A newspaper of the day commented:
"For a period of twenty-eight years Sir Thomas Mitchell had served the Colony, much of that service having been exceedingly arduous and difficult. Among the early explorers of Australia his name will occupy an honoured place in the estimation of posterity."
Some of the places Mitchell named on his expeditions were: the Avoca River, Balonne River, Belyando River, Campaspe River, Cogoon River, Discovery Bay, Glenelg River, Grampians, Maranoa River, Mount Arapiles, Mount King, Mount Macedon, Mount Napier, Mount William, Nyngan, Pyramid Hills, St George, Swan Hill and Wimmera River.
Among other ways, Mitchell is commemorated by the town of Mitchell in Queensland, the electorate of Mitchell, and in the name of Mitchell College in Wodonga, Victoria. The Major Mitchell's Cockatoo is named in his honour, as well as Mitchell's Hopping Mouse, Mitchell Falls, Mitchell Highway, Mitchell Park, Mitchell Plateau, Mitchell's Lookout, Mitchell River, Sir Thomas Mitchell Road in Bondi Beach, and Sir Thomas Mitchell Drive in Davidson, Sydney. A Victorian Railways S class locomotive was named after Mitchell. Mitchell is also the namesake in the highest honour of the New South Wales Surveyors Awards, the Sir Thomas Mitchell Excellence in Surveying Award.

Have you always wanted to take a riverboat tour, fly to NYC for New Year's Eve or treat your wife to a special anniversary celebration in St. Louis?
If you live in the Crestwood area of Missouri, you might think planning and taking one of those trips is impossible because you can't get the money together to put down a deposit. When they qualify for title loans Crestwood borrowers like yourself can get more than enough money to pay for a trip, vacation or anything else they need.
At Missouri Car Title Loans, we specialize in helping residents living in Crestwood and other areas in and around St. Louis. We offer a pre-approval process that lets you know in minutes if you qualify for a loan. Unlike your bank, we don't ask a lot of questions about why you need that cash either. We give you cash that you can use to buy property in Crestwood, take a vacation, plan a party or just cover some of your bills while you're in between paychecks. Find out about how the process works before you apply.
The pre-approval process starts online. Enter the year, make, model and style of vehicle you own. You also need to let us know if you owe anything on your car and give us an estimate as to the mileage on the engine. The only other information we require is a name, phone number, zip code and email address. We contact you, verify that everything is correct and give you an estimate.
Though we never run a credit check on anyone applying for one of our St. Louis car title loans, we do ask for references. We'll call your employer to verify that you actually work there, but we will never ask any personal questions. Our customers also love that we do not tell their employers the reason for that car. No one will know you applied for a title loan unless you want them to know.
Once you meet all our loan requirements, we can either deposit that money into your bank account or let you pick up that money from one of our offices. We have multiple offices in the St. Louis area.
Missouri has very few laws in place relating to car title loans. Many states prevent locals from borrowing above a certain amount, and other states require that borrowers pay off their loans in one month or less. If you need cash to get you through the holiday season or until you go back to work, you need more time to pay it off. As a Missouri lender, we follow all state laws and regulations. When you borrow against your vehicle, we'll give you a due date. If you cannot meet that deadline, you can rollover your loan up to two times, according to state law.
When it comes to title loans Crestwood residents will find a number of benefits to those loans. We offer convenient repayment terms that help you pay off your loan without struggling to pay the rest of your bills. The amount you can borrow depends on both the condition and value of your car. Even if you have an older model though with a few more miles on the engine, we will still loan to you. You'll then get money that you can use for a trip your child takes for school, a family vacation, some medical bills or other bills that unexpectedly popped up recently. Fill out our pre-approval application today to see if you qualify.

Feature: Sourcing fine cuisine
by Bill Lumley (Editor)
A strong and growing demand for natural and locally sourced food is helping strengthen bonds between the hospitality sector and local farmers and food suppliers. Bill Lumley reports.
Serving locally produced food is a winning strategy for luxury B&Bs across the UK. According to a recent Nielsen report, locally sourced food is fresher, environmentally friendly, healthier, helpful to the local economy, and helpful in making connections with local farmers.
It adds interest to your menu and it can help you earn more money. And it is highly fashionable among the type of guests most high-end B&Bs welcome to their property.
The demand for locally sourced food is so of-the-moment that the term locavore has been newly coined to indicate someone who is interested in eating food that has been locally produced and not moved long distances to market. One common definition is food that has been grown within 100 miles of the point of purchase or consumption.
All this means that the origin of some if not all the food served at luxury B&Bs should be identifiable as local, whether at breakfast, in a lunch hamper, or when hosting an event such as a wedding reception.
The regional Be My Guest events this year have featured exhibition stands presented by local food producers who have been able to display their goods to potential buyers – the owners of B&Bs, guest houses, inns and hotels from the same region.
One such supplier is Devon-based West- away's, which showed off its highly flavoursome and locally produced sausages at the South West edition of the event in Torquay last month. Westaway's has been a premium UK sausage producer for over 100 years.
The Baughan family that owns the brand is proud of its strong agricultural heritage, and its award-winning range of recipes is supplied into retail, foodservice and wholesale markets both nationally and internationally.
Westaway's is a pork-only site that boasts British Retail Consortium (BRC) AA Grade accreditation. The bespoke factory produces artisan Butcher's-style sausages made with fresh British Pork sourced from Red Tractor accredited pig farms in the South of England. Only using what it describes as the best British Pork ensures that the sausages are of the highest standard, and that they deliver on more than just taste.
The UK Government has recognised them as one of just 50 Food Stars, an award that recognises the rising stars of Britain's food and drink industry.
The sausages are 100% British Pork, made with fresh meat and individually quick-frozen meaning the meat retains texture and its fresh pink colour. IQF meanwhile means the customer can take out the amount of sausages required to cook, minimising wastage.
Westaway Sausages managing director Charlie Baughan says: "Our sausages are perfect for B&Bs as you cook them straight from frozen. You can even deep fat fry them for convenience cooking."Being frozen of course results in an increased shelf life," he adds.
He says: "We strongly believe in local food to local people and feel that everyone within a 20-mile radius of our factory in Kingsteignton should be eating Westaways! This is also reflected in the number of local customers we have who run B&Bs, hotels, cafes etc. We also supply the local schools, rugby club and many of the South West tourist attractions with our products.
"Although the occasional customer collects direct from our factory, our IQF Honey roast sausages are available through almost all the major food service providers in the South West, and regionally in Booker and Makro Stores."
People today are asking more questions about their food and where it comes from, he says. "We only use fresh meat from British Farms, and it is traceable back to its farm of origin.
"More recently we have embarked on the journey of reducing the amount of plastics that we are using in our production process. Our retail packs are now packaged in bio- degradable cardboard trays, which over the course of the year will prevent 1822 wheelie bins of black plastic from going into landfill. We are hoping to transition all of our products over to fully biodegradable packaging in the near future.
"Being based in an area surrounded by beautiful countryside, we know that it is going to grow in importance to our local customers to be buying products that impact upon the landscape as little as possible," he says.
He adds: "By offering customers biodegradable packaging, we are ensuring that wherev- er our packaging may end up, it should cause no long-term impact to the environment, and ultimately works towards protecting the provenance in which we have built our brand."
JAM TODAY
It is not just locally sourced high-quality meat that is sought after by both B&B owners and their discerning guests, with producers of high-quality jam able to equip luxury B&Bs with outstanding-tasting preserves to accompany the most important meal of the day.
Family-owned Boddingtons business owner Phil Boddington tells Luxury bed & Breakfast magazine: "On the ingredients front we are 80g of fruit content in 100g, compared with a lot of standard strawberry preserves, which are often half that. The biggest difference arises from the fact that we don't use any artificial gelling agents, unlike most national jams.
"Pectin can help the ingredients go further, and it is a cheaper method of making jam." The cooking process is quicker, he says, and there is a taste of apple from the pectin in all such preserves.
"Our jams are just made with fruit and sugar, cooked to a natural selling point. We cook the water out of the fruit in the same method followed before the war. The result is a taste of fruit and sugar rather than fruit, acidity regulator and pectin."
Another key aspect of Boddingtons is that the company is a dedicated strawberry grow- er. "We're not in Unit 12B – it's all made on the farm where everything is cooked, labelled and delivered," he says.
Boddingtons is based in Cornwall, which is noted for its high-quality foods as well as being a tourist attraction. It uses national distributors and restaurant distributors as well as exporting some of its products abroad. In addition, all its products are available direct through the company website.
There is a growing demand for locally sourced food, Phil says, as well as a demand for naturally produced foods. "The process we use to make our jam makes it slower to produce, and the higher fruit content makes it more expensive, but for the decent proportion of B&Bs that are looking to offer a good quality experience, competing on quality, then using our product against a national or international supplier is bound to result in a better experience for the guest.
"If you are offering a cream tea or break- fast then cost your product, put your price up accordingly and shout about the fact that you are offering high quality local produce. That way you are bound to get return customers," he says.
The company does not just sell its products for breakfasts and cream teas, also selling a lot of welcome packs, and B&B owners have the opportunity to sell the jam as a retail take- home product for their guests, he adds.
Patrick Salmon is the owner of Grimsby smokehouse Alfred Enderby. He took over the business two years ago.
The smokehouse was this year awarded two Great Taste Awards for its smoked fish products. The highly acclaimed awards, organised by the Guild of Fine Food, are the acknowledged benchmark for fine food and drink.
"Often described as the 'Oscars' of the food world, the Great Taste logo is widely recognised as a sign you can trust when buying locally produced food and drink," says Patrick.
Alfred Enderby submitted both its smoked salmon and smoked haddock, which were awarded the highest three-star and two-star awards respectively. The Three-star 'exquisite' award is awarded to those foods classed as 'extraordinarily tasty' and is only awarded to 3% of all entries received, putting the company's salmon in a class above the norm. The two-star rating received for the haddock is awarded to just 15% of entries received each year.
Feedback on the Alfred Enderby Three-Star Smoked Salmon included the following comments;
"A truly beautiful, near perfect looking side of salmon, glossy, burnished, yet firm fleshed."
"The texture is fantastic – resilient, firm, yet melting in the mouth. The finish is lingering yet remarkably "
"What a magnificent beast. We are salivating just looking at it. It is majestic, with glossy deep orangey-pink flesh. The smoky flavour gently supports the flavour of the fish itself. It is silky and smooth, sweet and succulent and cuts
like butter It is just divine – a stunning product – congratulations!"
Its Two Star Smoked Haddock was also well-acclaimed:
"An attractive succulent piece of fish with great smokey aroma which flakes well giving excellent meaty texture, the smoke is natural and subtle bringing out the great tasting "
"A fresh tasting fish with light marine notes, with a firm but meltingly soft texture. Carefully judged smoking that builds in the mouth and lingers "
Patrick explains: "We have never entered the Great Tastes Awards, but our customers tell us we produce the best product that is available, and that's why I bought the business two years ago from the retiring son of Alfred Enderby, Richard.
"My goal was to maintain the very high standard we had established over previous decades, refine and improve where possible and get it out to the public. People need to know this is available, and the great taste awards are a brilliant opportunity to sign post fabulous products like ours.
"We have long-serving loyal staff who diligently go about their craft proud of the Alfred Enderby reputation but blissfully unaware of just how good the smoked fish they produce really is. I feel it is my job to seek the recognition and show the lads in the smoke house that their efforts are truly recognised.
"We pride ourselves on the high quality of skill and craftsmanship that goes into our product. And as such to gain a three- and two-star status from the Great Taste awards cements our confidence in our wonderful smoked fish – we are truly chuffed!
"The awards is an indication that we have something very unique," he adds. "There is a lot of salmon out there, a large proportion of it very mediocre that I wouldn't consider eating. To get three stars in our first attempt to apply for this vindicates our claim that we have something very unusual."
He worries sometimes that people don't find them, he says. "There are signposts around and we have protect- ed geographic indication as well, the only such business in Lincolnshire.
"Ours is a unique process and we care very passionately about delivering the best product we can using a very old-fashioned approach."
He says he does not eat out very much be- cause it is mostly disappointing, but he says: "If you do eat out you like to know where the food you are eating is from and I always ask where everything is from, regardless.
"I can't imagine why a restaurant or a B&B wouldn't say, 'We source it from XYZ, these are the credentials – please enjoy it!'. It beg- gars belief that people have smoked salmon or smoked haddock on their menu without indicating where it is from," he concludes.

Another Offshore Wind Milestone: Interior Dept. Sets Auction of OCS Wind Leases
Hudson River 660-MW Transmission Line Begins Service
Floating Offshore Wind Turbine Prototype Deployed Off Maine's Coast
One of the first concrete-composite floating platform wind turbines in the U.S. was last week deployed off the coast of Castine, Maine. The project's launch, led by the University of Maine (UMaine), is a milestone for a nation whose 4,000 GW of offshore wind energy potential lies in deep water—but has no grid-connected commercial offshore wind farms yet.
The Energy Department supported the project with a $12 million investment over five years. UMaine and its project partners conducted extensive design, engineering, and testing of floating offshore wind turbines over five years that culminated in the construction and deployment of the 65-foot-tall "VolturnUS" prototype.
The prototype is one-eighth the size of a 6-MW, 423-foot rotor diameter turbine design envisioned for commercial installation. The project is expected to collect data to validate and improve floating wind turbine designs, while helping address technical barriers to greater offshore wind cost reductions, the DOE said in a statement on May 31.
One way the University of Maine's design could reduce overall costs is by using advanced materials. It features, for example, a unique semi-submersible platform that uses a lower cost concrete foundation in addition to a lighter weight composite tower. As part of the five-year project, the Maine Maritime Academy helped test and conduct analysis on these pioneering designs, while Pittsfield, Maine-based Cianbro Corp. leveraged its experience in maritime energy infrastructure and ship building to construct this first-of-its-kind wind energy system, UMaine said.
Meanwhile, a larger offshore wind demonstration—dubbed "Aqua Ventus I"—that would feature the full-scale turbine design is in the works, slated to be connected to the grid by 2016. That project is one of seven offshore wind design and engineering projects announced last year by the DOE. The DOE said it is still currently conducting the engineering and design phase, but it intends to select up to three projects for additional funding in 2014 to support construction and installation.
Collaborative research and development on the VolturnUS prototype was conducted by the UMaine-led DeepCwind Consortium, a public-private partnership funded by the DOE, the National Science Foundation, the Maine Technology Institute, the state of Maine, UMaine, and more than 30 industry partners.
The much-watched Cape Wind offshore wind project under development in Nantucket Sound, Mass., could break ground this year after more than a decade of delays. Former Interior Secretary Ken Salazar was widely quoted this April as expressing optimism about the $2.6 billion project because it had secured agreements with utilities to purchase about 75% of its produced power.
The 130-turbine project, the first offshore wind farm in the U.S. to obtain a federal lease, has been delayed by a number of contentious lawsuits and financing hurdles. See POWER's coverage of the Cape Wind project.

Wildlife on Lundy
Below the waves
Lundy has a huge diversity of seaweeds. With just 15km of coastline over 317 different species have been identified around the island.
Depth is a very important factor for plants, as they must have light in order to live. Water absorbs light, and as a consequence less light penetrates into deeper water, so plant-life is restricted to shallower water. Around Lundy, plants can be found from the top of the intertidal zone to a depth of 15-20m.
Oarweed (Kelps)
© Keith Hiscock
Dark olive brown in appearance, it has a long flexible stem and branched holdfasts which are often seen washed up ashore after stormy weather. Communities of small animals live in the holdfast, while colonial animals live on the flat blades. Huge kelp 'forests' including other species of kelp provide a home for a wide variety of different animals and are special and thriving habitats on the island.
Wire weed - Sargassum muticum
Sargassum muticum, commonly known as wire weed, strangle weed or 'Jap' weed, is a perennial brown seaweed that grows just below the low water mark in the shallow sublittoral or in areas of standing water on the lower shore.
Sargassum muticum is a member of the fucoid family, but is distinctly different to the wracks found around the UK coastline. Normally brown, but colour varies to orange and light yellow with high light intensity and high surface water temperatures. S. muticum originates from the western Pacific, where within its natural range (south-east Asia to southern Russia), it is one of the smaller Sargassum species, growing to around 1m long.
Sargassum muticum is a non-native species that has been accidentally introduced to other parts of the world and once removed from the constraints of its native environment, it becomes an aggressive coloniser and grows larger. There are concerns that Sargassum muticum competes and displaces indigenous species of brown seaweeds, and on Lundy steps are being taken to remove it from the areas where it has colonised in the Landing Bay and Devil's Kitchen.
There are a number of other implications relating to recreational and commercial uses of coastal areas where dense growth occurs - floating mats of drifting Sargassum muticum can potentially affect water sports and sailing. It can foul fishing lines and nets and the steering gear of small boats as well as trapping marine debris and being cast ashore.
Knotted Wrack - Ascophyllum nodosum
Knotted wrack belongs to a group of seaweeds which often dominate the rocky shore around Lundy and various characteristics make it an easily identifiable seaweed of the shore. Attached firmly by a disc-like holdfast, several narrow long fronds arise which can grow to about one metre in length and longer in very sheltered situations. At intervals along the frond single egg-like air bladders grow, and which gives rise to its other name 'egg wrack'. The seaweed produces about one of these bladders every year which makes it possible to estimate the age of the seaweed by counting a series of bladders. The bladder's main purpose is to hold the plant afloat in the water to gain maximum light. In summer small reproductive organs grow on short side branches.
Sea Lettuce - Ulva lactuca
Sea lettuce is common worldwide on sea shores and shallow sublittoral areas growing in a wide range of conditions and habitats and Lundy is no exception. Its frond is a bright green flat sheet, translucent in appearance and often split or divided with a wavy edge. In general it is shorter on exposed shores and on sheltered ones can grow much longer. Grazed by numerous animals on the shore it is often seen on the sea floor detached and in tatters providing other animals an opportunistic meal. The sea weed reproduces by releasing gametes from some cells, and it can also spread vegetatively by regeneration of small fragments.
Channelled Wrack - Pelvetia canaliculata
This small and brown bushy seaweed derives its name from the channel-like gutters along its fronds and is attached to the rock surface by a small holdfast. It is a common alga found at the highest level on the rocky shore and its position is a good indicator of the high-water mark. However its position on the shore is inhospitable due to the short time covered by the tide and as a result the growth is quite small. It has a number of remarkable adaptations that give it the chance of survival high up the seashore, not found in the algae lower down. Special adaptations include rolled fronds to reduce the water lost by evaporation; trapping water with the channels in the frond; a fatty (oily) layer over the cell slows the desiccation by stopping water evaporating and a thick cell wall which shrinks with drying. The seaweed can lose 90% of its water and rehydrate very rapidly in about 20 mins of being covered again by the tide.
When mature, the alga produces swollen tips to the fronds. It is these receptacles which contain the reproductive conceptacles. Being hermaphroditic each plant has both male and female structures on the same frond. The conceptacles ripen in summer with the release of gametes in September to coincide with the high spring tides. Fertilisation is therefore external and is improved by having both male and female sexes in close proximity on the same plant as immersion by the tide is brief.
Coral Weed
Coral weed is a striking, characteristically hard structured pink-red seaweed, which belongs to the coralline group of seaweeds. The individual fronds of the seaweed are made up of interlinking ridged sections held together by flexible joints and can grow up to 12 cm long. It is chalky deposits in the seaweeds cell wall structure which gives them a hard structure, and is particularly easy to identify as the seaweed often covers large areas in deep rockpools and low tide areas of the rocky shore.

Epstein Becker Green obtained awards dismissing the claims of nine investment bankers in two arbitrations for bonuses totaling more than $10 million in January and April 2013. Our client, an investment banking firm, had decided as a result of the 2008 crash to award "provisional" bonuses in December 2008 that were subject to adjustment, depending on the firm's then-undetermined audited year-end financial results. Because the firm lost several billion dollars and had to borrow TARP-like funds from the government to maintain its capital requirements, the directors reduced the provisional awards by 90 percent across the board.
The bankers commenced two arbitrations before FINRA for the unpaid balances, claiming breaches of contract and detrimental reliance, on the basis that their particular business units did not contribute to the firm's loss. The firm defended by arguing that, because the bonuses were discretionary, it could properly place decisive weight on its overall performance. Further, the firm argued that the bankers' reliance argument was undermined by layoffs and hiring freezes globally in the financial services industry—a fact confirmed in the bankers' internal emails.
The two panels independently awarded "zero" to the two groups of bankers and dismissed all of the claims. Kenneth J. Kelly and Diana C. Gomprecht led the Epstein Becker Green defense team in both cases.

Google wants Android to be your wearable OS of choice
By JR Bookwalter 10 March 2014
Well, maybe not 'choice'...
Make mine Android!
Just because Google plans to make its own smartwatch doesn't mean developers have to avoid Android when making their own. In fact, it'll be a relative breeze to use the platform in just a few short weeks.
Google is planning to release a software development kit (SDK) later this month that will make it easier for manufacturers to power their future smartwatches with Android.
During a South by Southwest conference speech March 9, Google Senior Vice President Sundar Pichai announced the search giant's intentions to dominate the wearables market much in the same way it has smartphones.
To accomplish this task, Google plans to borrow from its own Android playbook by making a free SDK available to manufacturers and developers, part of the company's "vision" for a wearables market where its mobile OS is on everyone's wrist.
Feedback welcome
Google is reportedly working on its own smartwatch to be manufactured by LG that could debut in June, but Pichai calls the early release of an Android wearable SDK an opportunity to get "plenty of feedback" in advance of the annual Google I/O conference.
But smartwatches may be only the beginning as Pichai teased the possibility of other wearables such as a "smart jacket," which could incorporate sensors for a variety of unspecified uses.
Pichai also told SXSW attendees that Google's Chromecast will soon branch out to countries other than the US after racking up sales "in the millions" there.
The Android, Chrome and apps executive also answered a query about Google's recent Nest acquisition, saying it could deliver a future "mesh layer" of software designed to help devices interact with each other.

Libraries answer a request to help a California fifth-grade class learn more about their country through a Great Postcard Race.
Ask A Librarian – National Edition!
Ask a Librarian. Little known fact (okay, it's not really a secret), but librarians love to help you find answers to your questions. We recently received a letter from a fifth grade class in Albany, California requesting our assistance on a class project, and we were all too excited to jump in and help.
Can we share more about Wisconsin?! The excitement was almost too much. Of course! But, naturally, we thought, "With a great request like this, one does not simply send back JUST a postcard." This called for a UW-Madison / Wisconsin care package.
Included: A Bucky Badger READ poster (because, libraries!), a Harry the Steenbock Library cow and Bucky READ bookmarks (also, because, libraries!), the original postcard with a note back from Bucky, an additional postcard with more information about our fine state, as well as one with a photo of a couple of our own Wisconsin cows wishing the best to the Happy Cows of California (more on that in our "20 Facts about Wisconsin" sheet we sent – see below). Also, thanks to the UW-Madison Office of Campus and Visitor Relations, we were able to provide Bucky Badger stickers, banners, pencils, stick-on tattoos, more bookmarks, and kid-friendly information packets. We rounded out the fun with some Haribo gummy bears (again, see the 20 facts), an official forecast graphic of Wisconsin winter weather from WKOW (one of our local news stations), and of course, a cheesehead.
Too much? We don't think so!
We send our best wishes to our new friends in the Golden State from your friends in the Badger State. Best of luck in your Great Postcard Race! Enjoy the treats, and…On, Wisconsin!
20 Fun Facts About Wisconsin!
California surpassed Wisconsin as the top overall milk producer in the country, but Wisconsin is still the top cheese producer. Our happy cows from Wisconsin sent you a postcard for your happy cows in California.
The first kindergarten classes in the U.S. were held in Watertown, Wisconsin in 1856.
The first ever ice cream sundae was served in Two Rivers, Wisconsin in 1881.
Wisconsin has the world's largest cranberry festival each September (and Wisconsin produces 60 percent of the nation's cranberries!).
The term "cheesehead" started as a term German soldiers used to insult the Dutch during World War II. These days, the term is used to describe cheese-lovin' Wisconsites.
Celebrities rumored to be Packers fans include: Lil Wayne, Harry Styles, Larry the Cable Guy, Erin Andrews, Ryan Reynolds, David Ortiz, Shawn Johnson, Ellen DeGeneres and Justin Timberlake.
Marathon Countyproduces most of the ginseng grown in the U.S. and 10 percent of the world's supply.
Soviet satellite Sputnik IV fell out of orbit in 1962 and a 20-pound piece crashed in Manitowoc, Wisconsin.
Wisconsin's state symbol, the badger, doesn't refer to the animal but the 1820s lead miners who traveled for work and dug tunnels to sleep in and keep warm, much like a badger (including our most famous, Buckingham "Bucky" U. Badger – that's me!).
Famous names from Wisconsin include Kurtwood Smith, Harry Houdini, Frank Lloyd Wright, Chris Farley, Georgia O'Keeffe, Orson Welles, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Liberace, Mark Ruffalo, Les Paul and Frank Caliendo.
Wisconsin banned margarine from 1895 to 1967, and while the ban was lifted, some restrictions on margarine remain today. It's still illegal for a restaurant to serve margarine as a butter substitute unless the customer specifically requests it.
Wisconsin's name comes from the Wisconsin River, which was called Meskousing by the Algonquian-speaking tribes. The name was recorded in 1673 by French explorer Jacques Marquette.
The Onion was started by two University of Wisconsin-Madison students.
The largest wooly mammoth ever excavated was found in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Freshwater surfers know Sheboyganas the "Malibu of the Midwest." Peak surf season takes place between September and March!
The first ever Flag Day was celebrated in Ozaukee Countyin 1785.
"On, Wisconsin" was first said by Arthur MacArthur, Jr. in the Battle of Chattanooga at Missionary Ridge during the Civil War.
German confectioner Haribo announced in 2018 it is set to build its first US factory in Wisconsin (we've enclosed some to share with your class)!

Going to medical school to learn how to use bacteria to make gasoline may seem like a complicated process, but the developers of a new way of extracting biofuels from sunlight say it's not. You may remember Dr. Daniel Nocera's efforts a few years ago to create a bionic leaf, a simple way to extract oxygen and hydrogen from water when the leaf in water was exposed to sunlight. Several other such "water splitters" have achieved newsworthiness in the last few years, but each has the impediment of not delivering hydrogen in a readily useable way. Usually, any H2 produced has to be compressed, stored in hydrides, or encapsulated in some way to make it a viable fuel. There is …

Biden's Cabinet Secrets: Marching Toward the Great Reset
Joe Biden's administration is getting ready for something historic, but we're all being distracted. And now that Biden has hired at least 14 former or current executives from Big Tech — experts at colluding to censor unflattering news about Biden — Americans must be laser-focused on what's coming.
On January 20, the most corrupt president in American history will be inaugurated, and it looks like some of his cabinet choices were picked specifically so everything just – poof – goes away. The administration nominees appear to be all about preserving corruption, crony capitalism, and executing a Great Reset. Those same people also have one more thing in common: Ukraine.
On his Wednesday night special this week, Glenn exposes their radical agenda in their own words and gives U.S. senators the questions they must ask before confirming corrupt nominees to some of the highest offices in the country.
Freedom of speech is important. Here at BlazeTV, we work hard to bring you the truth from the most pro-America network in the country, free from Big Tech censors.

A major new statement of changes to the UK Immigration Rules published on March 16 launches new business routes to alleviate Covid's economic consequences. Namely, the Government's post-Covid 'Plan for Growth' strategy was announced with the introduction of the five Global Business Mobility routes, the High Potential Individual (HPI) route and the Scale-up route.
MAJOR CHANGES TO THE UK IMMIGRATION RULES ANNOUNCED:WHAT'S NEW?
1. High Potential Individual (HPI) route
2. Scale-up route
3. Global Business Mobility routes
1. Side-occupation evidence
2. Evidence about innovation
3. Amount of supporting documents
4. High level of achievements
5. Letters of recommendation
6. Correlation between 'Talent'
and 'Promise'
High Potential Individual (HPI) route
The HPI route is a new elite points-based route to attract 'the brightest and best' to the UK.
Comes into force: on 30 May 2022
Requirements for applicants
Applicants in this route must have been awarded within the last 5 years either a bachelor's or postgraduate degree from one of the top global universities outside the UK.
Requirements for universities
The university ranking will be published in the Home Office's 'Global Universities List'. The list will be compiled annually and consist of eligible non-UK institutions included in the list of the top 50 universities in at least two of the following ranking systems:
1. Times Higher Education World University Rankings: in 2022, the ranking includes California Institute of Technology, Harvard University, Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the top-5 best world universities.
2. Quacquarelli Symonds World University Rankings: in 2022, the ranking includes Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, Harvard University, California Institute of Technology in the top-5 best world universities.
3. The Academic Ranking of World Universities: in 2022, the ranking includes Harvard University, Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and University of California, Berkeley in the top-5 best world universities.
Language requirement
English level B1 on the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), in common with the Skilled Worker route.
Visa duration
The visa will be granted for 2 years for individuals with a qualification equivalent to a UK Bachelor's or Master's level degree; or for 3 years for individuals with a qualification equivalent to a UK PhD.
Successful applicants will be able to bring dependent family members (spouses/partners and children under 18), as in other work routes.
Scale-up route
The Scale-up route is a new route that will allow individuals with a sponsored job offer from an authorised UK scale-up company to qualify for a 'fast-track visa'.
Comes into force: on 22 August 2022
Requirements for companies looking to sponsor under this route
A company will need to demonstrate they have an annualised growth of at least 20% for the previous 3-year period in terms of turnover and staffing and a minimum of 10 employees at the start of the 3-year period.
The details on what exactly the registration process will entail for companies will be introduced by the UK government later.
Requirements for job offers
The would-be employee's required skills have to fall into the threshold of the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) of Level 6 or equivalent (graduate level). It is higher than the current threshold for the Skilled Worker visa requirements which is set to at RQF of level 3 and above. The applicants must also be paid at least £33,000 per year or the going rate for the particular occupation.
English level B1 on on the CEFR, in common with the Skilled Worker route
Applicants will initially be granted a visa for 2 years — the first 6 months of which they must work for the sponsor. After that, their immigration status will no longer be tied to that employer. Visa extension for a period of up to 3 years is possible.
The visa category leads to ILR (indefinite leave to remain) after 5 years.
Global Business Mobility routes
The Global Business Mobility routes are a number of new sponsored routes for businesses that are seeking to either establish a presence in the UK, transfer overseas staff to the UK, or come to the UK for a specific business purpose.
There are five new individual routes (five sub-categories) planned: Senior or Specialist Worker, Graduate Trainee, UK Expansion Worker, Service Supplier, and Secondment Worker. Four of the routes will replace existing visa categories (mainly rebranding) and the remaining individual category will create a new provision for secondments.
Come into force: on 11 April 2022
Employers will still have to sponsor workers to come to the UK to fulfil specific work purposes.
The Global Business Mobility visa follows the points based system. Applicants are required to score points from 40 to 60 depending on the sub-category.
The routes do not lead to settlement in the UK.
Senior or Specialist Worker. This visa sub-category will replace the Intra-Company Transfer route. The Senior or Specialist Worker visa will be appropriate for senior managers or specialist employees who are being assigned to a UK business which is linked by common ownership to the overseas employing company.
Graduate Trainee. This visa sub-category will replace the Intra-Company Graduate Trainee route. The Graduate Trainee visa will be for workers on a graduate training course which leads to a senior management or specialist position and who are required to undertake a work placement in the UK.
UK Expansion Worker. This visa sub-category will replace the Sole Representative of an Overseas Business route (however it will remain open for Media Representatives and those already on Sole Rep visas extending or applying for ILR). The UK Expansion Worker visa will be for specialist or senior employees who are being assigned to the UK to assist with the overseas business's expansion to the UK.
Service Supplier. This visa sub-category will replace contractual service providers and independent professional persons in the Temporary Worker — International Agreement route. The Service Supplier visa will be for overseas workers coming to the UK to provide a service that is in line with a UK trade commitment.
Secondment Worker. This new route will be for workers who are being seconded to the UK as part of a high value contract or investment by their employer overseas.
If you want to calculate your chances of getting a visa and get detailed feedback from our team, please take our scoring test.

Court of Appeals Strikes Down FCC Net Neutrality Rule
A court of appeals in Washington, D.C. struck down the FCC's net neutrality rules on Tuesday, arguing that its restrictions to "treat all Internet traffic the same regardless of source" have no legal merit. Verizon took the FCC to appeals court over the rules at the beginning of November, stating that the FCC does not have the authority to treat it as a common carrier or a utility.
Nicole Henderson | Jan 14, 2014
This post originally appeared on The WHIR.
A court of appeals in Washington, D.C. struck down the FCC's net neutrality rules on Tuesday, arguing that its restrictions to "treat all Internet traffic the same regardless of source" have no legal merit.
According to a report by PCWorld, the root of the appeal court's decision is that unlike phone companies, broadband providers aren't classified as common carriers. The ruling said that since the FCC "has failed to establish that the anti-discrimination and anti-blocking rules do not impose per se common carrier obligations, we vacate those portions of the Open Internet Order."
Verizon took the FCC to appeals court over the rules at the beginning of November, arguing that the FCC does not have the authority to treat it as a common carrier or a utility. It should be regulated as an information service, which is lightly regulated in comparison.
The decision is a victory for Verizon and other broadband providers as certain customers will pay more to receive preferential treatment and faster speeds. The concern that net neutrality advocates have is that this could create an environment where smaller companies are unable to compete, a very bad move for innovation and the Internet. The issue could also have negative implications for hosting providers and their customers.
The FCC will still be able to require broadband providers to disclose how data is being managed on their network, which may offer some transparency into the treatment certain types of traffic gets.
"The D.C. Circuit has correctly held that 'Section 706 . . . vests [the Commission] with affirmative authority to enact measures encouraging the deployment of broadband infrastructure' and therefore may 'promulgate rules governing broadband providers' treatment of Internet traffic,'" FCC Chairman Thomas Wheeler said in a statement. "I am committed to maintaining our networks as engines for economic growth, test beds for innovative services and products, and channels for all forms of speech protected by the First Amendment. We will consider all available options, including those for appeal, to ensure that these networks on which the Internet depends continue to provide a free and open platform for innovation and expression, and operate in the interest of all Americans."
Recently, AT&T introduced bandwidth sponsorship, a service for businesses to pay for the bandwidth so that it does not count against the end user's data usage. Some net neutrality advocates said that although AT&T ensures data sponsorship will not affect the speed or performance of delivery, it is still a problematic issue.

Diving back to the birth of black metal and the records that have stood the test of time.
Some say that Venom merely gave the black metal genre its name, others argue that this is a retrospective view and point out that the bands and fans who got into the scene prior to the 90s 'second wave' explosion viewed the trio as black metal through and through. Side with who you will, but this album is not only as chaotic, rousing and exhilarating as one could ask for, it is also the sound of extreme metal being born.
Strictly speaking, Apocalyptic Raids is an EP – if you're looking for a Hellhammer 'album', your closest option is 2008's Demon Entrails compilation. But it would be criminal not to include Hellhammer here, because along with Venom and Bathory the band basically gave birth to the first wave of black metal. Their combination of slow, creeping passages and fast thrashing sections – as well as the strangely 'alien' quality to the vocals and riffs – make this a lo-fi classic.
Celtic Frost grew directly out of Hellhammer, and their first releases were a somewhat more forward-thinking take on that band's hallmark sound. With this ridiculously ambitious full-length however, the outfit has clearly evolved into quite a different beast altogether and the combination of gutsy, aggressive guitars and drums and a more bombastic and dramatic atmosphere (including effective use of timpani and French horn) results in a timeless and grandiose work.
To some extent, the 80s was about discovering the black within metal and like many of the entries on this list, one could interpret a lot of early Sodom as simply evil-sounding thrash. Call it what you will, this record is a devilish, violent and catchy metal assault with plenty of high-paced battery and mean-sounding riffs. The first efforts by Kreator and Destruction are similarly recommended for a further Teutonic first wave fix.
KAT are legends in their homeland of Poland, though they've only managed limited exposure beyond that. That's a shame because they were very influential to 90s Polish black metal practitioners and this debut album (also released with Polish lyrics under the title 666 the very same year) is a very enjoyable combination of Venom, Bathory, NWOBHM influences and unashamed blasphemous intent.
Before they evolved into a death/thrash/groove metal outfit, Sepultura were busy creating primitive first wave black metal. Like most of their contemporaries, Sepultura were a pretty raw beast in the mid-80s; basic production, out-of-tune instruments, questionable timing, you'll find it all here. Importantly though, the crude aural violence here is thoroughly satisfying, containing a suitably infernal atmosphere and a ton of nasty, memorable riffs.
Just as the 90s black metal scene was somewhat dominated by Norway, the 80s saw Brazil becoming a bit of a stronghold for the growing black metal phenomenon. Like their peers in Sepultura and Sarcófago, the band took strong influence from bands such as Sodom, Hellhammer and Celtic Frost, while nevertheless injecting their own personality into proceedings. Bloody Vengeance is a short, sharp shock of possessed metal, just as we like it.
Okay, one last classic from Brazil. The cover image of the group's protagonists in a cemetery with bullet belts, spikes, inverted crosses and proto-corpsepaint alone inspired a generation. But it's the furious combination of Sodom, Hellhammer and Bathory that really strikes home, the seemingly chaotic nature of the malevolent bombardment disguising some skilful and surprisingly detailed and dynamic songwriting – relatively speaking, of course.
Bathory were really the band that took Venom's idea and pushed to its logical conclusion, cementing the Scandinavian black metal template of demonic vocals, furious icy riffs and simple, unrelenting percussion in the process. So why so late in the list? Well '84's self-titled debut and '85's The Return album are certainly more seminal works, but this third album is arguably the musical highpoint, and its hugely influential use of cold, intense and hypnotic repetition remains extremely effective.
Tormentor were a short-lived Hungarian band who built a loyal (and violent) fanbase at home but never managed to tour abroad. This 40-minute self-released cassette, however, would make its way via tape traders to western Europe in the years following the band's split, winning over many fans including Norway's Mayhem, who ultimately headhunted vocalist Attila Csihar. Way ahead of its time, it offers a more controlled and nuanced take on the first wave as well as an epic anthem in the form of its most famous song, Elizabeth Bathory (later covered by Dissection).

Q: Implementing fuction that takes in array and multiplies each element by given int def multAll(A, k):
    # takes an array of integers and an int, and multiplies each integer by the int.
    for i in A:
        i = i*k
        return i

# test 1

A = [5,12,31,7,25]
multAll(A, 10)
print(A)  # should print [50,120,310,70,250]

What am I doing wrong in multAll that isnt giving me the correct answer?

A: When return i happens for the first time in your function, the function stops and returns the current i.
def multAll(A, k):
    return_value = []
    for i in A:
        i = i*k
        return_value.append(i)
    return return_value

Like this, a complete list return_value is created, and that list is returned.

A: This will give you the desired result:
def multAll(A, k):
    return [i * k for i in A]

It is using the list comprehension pattern that allows you to edit each element of the list.

A: As written, your function should not return the given list; it should return the value of A[0] * k, the scalar 50.
Let's walk through the code for a moment, as you should have done with a print statement before posting.
for i in A:
    # i is a local variable; it takes on the value of A[0], or 5
    i = i*k
    # i is now 50
    return i
    # You return 50 to the calling program -- which ignores the return value.

At this point, the function is done, gone, exited, and will execute no more until you call it again.
To get the list (you have a list, not an **array*) altered, you can change each element in place.  Don't leave the function until you've processed all of the elements.
for i in range(len(A)):
    A[i] *= k

return

A: Since you're calling the multAll function without expecting a returning value, you should update the list A in-place by updating its item values through indices:
def multAll(A, k):
    for i in range(len(A)):
        A[i] *= k

A: Numbers are not the objects, so In loop every time you get only the next value of a list. And to that value, you do that operation. You should iterate over indexes, and assign a value to a specific place in the list. You could use the range function to do that.
Another problem is that you return value after calculating the first value in the list, so you should remove one indention.

Previous studies have shown an association between prematurity and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Results concerning late preterm infants are controversial, and studies examining fetal growth represented by weight for gestational age are scarce. Our objective was to examine the association between gestational age by each week of fetal maturity, weight for gestational age, and ADHD.
In this population-based study, 10 321 patients with ADHD, diagnosed according to the International Classification of Diseases and 38 355 controls individually matched for gender, date and place of birth, were identified from Finnish nationwide registers. Perinatal data were obtained from the Finnish Medical Birth Register. Conditional logistic regression was used to examine the association between gestational age, weight for gestational age, and ADHD after controlling for confounding factors.
The risk of ADHD increased by each declining week of gestation. The associations were robust after adjusting for confounders. An elevated risk also was seen among late preterm and early term infants. As for fetal growth, the odds ratio showed a U-shaped curve with an increased risk seen when the weight for gestational age was 1 SD below and 2 SD above the mean.
Our findings suggest that each gestational week has significance for child's subsequent neurodevelopment and risk for ADHD. We also showed that poor fetal growth increased the risk of ADHD. This highlights the importance of taking into account both prematurity and poor fetal growth when planning the timing of birth as well as later follow-up and support policies.

The Ongoing Search for Underlying Mechanisms of ADHD
Bruce P. Lanphear
Dr Sucksdorff and colleagues:
Thank you for yet another elegant, population-based study from Finland. The evidence that the "risk of ADHD increased by each declining week of gestation" from this large, population-based study that "adjusted for other obvious potential confounders, such as parental psychiatric history and maternal substance abuse" was clear and compelling.
Two findings deserve special attention. First, you found that, "the association between gestational age and ADHD was largely independent of familial confounding factors". For too long, the "heritable component" of ADHD, autism and other conditions has been exaggerated. This leads to faulty investments in research. For example, Karen Weintraub reported that, in the first decade of the 21st century, the federal government awarded over $1 billion to identify genetic risk factors for autism, but only $40 million (4%) to identify environmental risk factors. (1) This is irresponsible and illustrates our failure to invest in prevention-oriented research. (The key to prevention is to identify environmental risk factors.)
Like most complex disorders, there are likely to be many upstream risk factors for PTB and ADHD. Your article singled out alcohol and tobacco. These two toxins, while important, are simply the ones easiest to measure. A host of other ubiquitous toxicants, such as PBDEs, organophosphate pesticides, lead, PCBs and mercury, have been associated with the development of ADHD; many of them are also associated with PTB or low-birth weight. (2) Froehlich and others estimated that 1 out of 3 cases of ADHD in U.S. children could be attributed to prenatal tobacco exposure and childhood lead exposure. (3) A population-based study of ADHD in Finns that incorporated population-level characteristics and biomarkers for environmental toxicants could dramatically enhance our understanding of the contribution of various risk factors and underlying mechanisms for the development of ADHD and other complex disorders.
Many pediatricians and scientists have concluded that there is sufficient evidence to develop regulations to reduce widespread exposures to chemicals, Unfortunately, our regulatory systems are too often lagging behind.(4)

To artist Glynna Williams, Texas was a land of wild beauty, carved by God's hand, untouched as yet by man's. And the most exciting part of it was the fierce, bare-chested half-breed who saved her from a rampaging longhorn bull. Just as the untamed wilderness called to the painter in her, Hunt's mesmerizing eyes touched the woman in her.
As she spent the days sketching his magnificent body, she dreamed of spending the nights in his strong arms. Glynna knew the paintings she'd done of his Comanche people would guarantee her success as a Western artist, but would she ever succeed in capturing Hunt's wary heart? He'd been trapped and wounded before by a white woman. Now only the gentle bonds of love could make Glynna the...HALF-BREED'S LADY.

A: Bueno aqui hay que considerar varios puntos:

*

*¿Como instalaste node?

Puedes probar instalando NVM para reinstalar node de manera segura siguiendo los siguientes comandos:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.37.2/install.sh | bash

O puedes probar con WGET
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.37.2/install.sh | bash

Para poder instalar node utilizando nvm, utiliza el comando nvm install node algo asi como:
$ nvm install node
Downloading https://nodejs.org/dist/v12.1831/node-v12.18.3-darwin-x64.tar.xz...
######################################################################## 100.0%
Now using node v12.18.3 (npm v5.3.0)

$ node --version
v12.18.31

Toda la información sobre NVM aqui https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm/blob/master/README.md#installing-and-updating
Luego de esto, verifica con un node -v && npm -v
Otra opción es con el instalador del sitio oficial https://nodejs.org/es/download/
O si estas en Mac, ejecuta brew install node para que se reinstale, despues ejecuta brew doctor && brew cleanup

*Si ya reinstalaste y no funciona, prueba con los comandos:

2.1: npm cache clean -f
2.2: rm -rf node_modules
2.3: npm i
Si aun asi el problema persiste, instala Node en su version V11.X, busca el instalador aqui:
https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v11.x/

A: Es probable que el comando ls-remote sea de git y el cual no tengas instalado.
Si usas una imagen docker de alpine trata de instalar git:
RUN apk add --no-cache git

Caso contrario instala GIT como normalmente instalas programas, eso ya dependerá de que sistema operativo estés usando.

Home Premier League Solskjaer: Man United simply not good enough to match Man City
Solskjaer: Man United simply not good enough to match Man City
Andrew Smyth
8:28 am - April 25, 2019
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer conceded that there is a "difference in quality" between Manchester United and neighbours Manchester City following Wednesday's 2-0 defeat.
After last weekend's humiliating 4-0 loss at Everton, Solskjaer made five changes to the United line-up for the Manchester derby.
The Red Devils delivered a stronger performance this time around, but were left clearly outmanoeuvred by City all over the pitch.
Bernardo Silva put the Citizens in front with a 54th-minute strike before substitute Leroy Sane sealed a 2-0 victory just 12 minutes later.
And Solskjaer conceded that United were simply outclassed on the night, despite being satisfied with the reaction from his players.
"We got a reaction and in the end we were beaten by a better team," the United boss told Sky Sports.
"But we got a reaction from fans and players and had a go, had efforts – didn't hit the target too many times but you can see the work rate was there. It wasn't good enough.
"There is a difference in quality. That is why they are top and we are where we are. They have set the standard. Living in Manchester we cannot be happy with that. It is up to us to close that gap and overtake them.
"Today you can't say that any of them didn't run. You could see clearly an intent and focus. We just need to keep working on it."
The Norwegian explained his pre-match comments, where he suggested City would deploy tactical fouling. This had left Pep Guardiola upset, who denied ever deploying such methods across his entire managerial career.
"I was making a compliment. City want to win it back and by their aggression to win it back there will be fouls," said Solskjaer.
"You want a team like this. They keep the ball high and are hungry to win it back. They stopped us very well."
Meanwhile, United keeper David de Gea endured another abysmal display at Old Trafford. The Spaniard looked a shadow of his past self as Silva and Sane made light work of him.
"David made some terrific saves as well. He has high standards," Solskjaer said on De Gea.
"When we are having a time like this we've just got to stick together, batten the hatches down, don't do anything rash and keep working.
"We have to come back fighting on Sunday."
Despite the defeat, United are still just three points outside of the Premier League top-four. As fifth-place Arsenal fell to a 3-1 defeat at Wolves and, therefore, failed to break into the Champions League spots.
Solskjaer's side will now turn their focus to Sunday's crucial showdown against Chelsea at Old Trafford. The Blues hold fourth-place heading into the final three games of the season.

Projects - Lion House
Lion House Project Sheet.pdf
Where: Kingsbridge Crescent, Southall
Who For: Family Mosaic
What: 26 residential units
Architect: Stephen Davy Peter Smith
CMA Planning secured permission from the London Borough of Ealing in May 2014 for this 26 home scheme for Family Mosaic. The proposal, located in suburban Southall contains four townhouses and 22 flats and in overall terms will see 54% affordable housing delivered. The development responds to the diverse surrounding context and the long narrow site, by having the two storey townhouses locate the site entrance, to relate to adjoining existing pairs of semi-detached housing. The building mass then increases along the length of the site, culminating in a four storey block of flats which would have good views over the adjoining Grand Union Canal. The scheme has been designed to Lifetime Homes standards throughout, with unit sizes that meet or exceed the Mayor's London Housing Design Guide standards. The development has also been designed to meet Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4. In obtaining approval, CMA also overcame issues which included height, density, parking, level of amenity space, impact on adjoining trees, relationship of flats to a nearby phone mast and the level of s106 contributions.

There many the explanation why householders resolve to undertake any dwelling enchancment mission, and one is to boost property worth to be recouped with a closed sale. Extending one's house with rooms added to the facet of 1's dwelling or, generally, additional levels to the unique roof. The vast majority of residence enchancment remodeling projects require the use of power tools to get them done right. Some residence enchancment suggestions and advice are specifically designed for these not so glamorous initiatives; like unplugging drains, sewer strains or gutters.
Some individuals could select to use water saving equipment in loos and kitchens, whereas others might want to create extra space by remodeling a kitchen or a sitting room. Grants for residence enhancements relating to the interior of the home also refers back to the electrical and water supply techniques.
There many explanation why homeowners resolve to undertake any dwelling enchancment venture, and one is to spice up property worth to be recouped with a closed sale. Some it is possible for you to to sort out alone as a household project, but for some house improvements you will want the assistance of an expert. Aside from these commonplace areas in the house that need enchancment, transforming or renovating can also be a good idea.
Wallpapering and portray partitions or installing wooden paneling. Including new flooring similar to carpets, tiling, linoleum, wooden flooring, or solid hardwood flooring. The Tax Act states that where a restore is carried out in the identical space of the house that is being remodeled then the repair could be included as part of the reworking project.
If in case you have been in your house for quite a few years, then it is most likely time to make some changes. Kitchen is an efficient place to start when contemplating a house improvement venture. These improvements add to the residing amenity of the house's homeowners and usually add value to the home. In areas which might be zoned residential, buildings could include single household housing, multiple family housing comparable to (apartments, duplexes, townhomes (or comparable configurations), condominiums) or cellular properties.
In the United States , trendy house-construction strategies embrace gentle-frame building (in areas with entry to provides of wood) and adobe or sometimes rammed-earth construction (in arid areas with scarce wooden-resources). In case your challenge will require structural changes equivalent to adding or eradicating partitions, or if the design is complex, you'll in all probability want an architect.
While it most often refers to constructing projects that alter the construction of an existing house, house renovation can embody improvements to lawns and gardens and outbuildings like gazebos and garages. Adding house can also be a part of residence enchancment, since it improves the best way your belongings and different things inside the house are being arranged to make it extra comfortable. If you're planning improvements to an space of your own home that is in need of repair you may be able to embrace the repair as an enchancment.
