Q: ByBit Api. Open Active Order. Return "empty param of timestamp". Libcurl c++ Please help!!!! Is there a working example of opening an order in C++
Constantly sending a request to open an order POST https://api.bybit.com/private/linear/order/create
{"api_key":"WTVpIZqOwx2LGYY3TB","order_type":"Market","qty":5,"side":"Buy","symbol":"MATICUSDT","time_in_force":"GoodTillCancel","timestamp":1652444871610,"sign":"433b79f452a6c43f3b507df4b5cee84314c7aae584546a889cde7d750ac2f4a6"}

I get an error

And no one can explain why
the code itself

A: I see some strange things. Your wrong JSON in the code:
"\"side\"=\"Buy\",\"symbol\"=\"MATICUSDT\"

It is not consistent with the dumped JSON
"side":"Buy","symbol":"MATICUSDT".

Your code has space after the timestamp, the dumped JSON has no spaces. And the parameter order is different.

A: Everything solved the problem. Here is the working code
int main(int, char **)
{
    CURL *curl;
    CURLcode res;

    unsigned long long timestamp = chrono::duration_cast<chrono::milliseconds>(chrono::_V2::system_clock::now().time_since_epoch()).count();

    string api_key = "WT***************3TB";
    string secret_key = "Ik**************4vE";

    string reqParam = "api_key=" + api_key + "&close_on_trigger=false&order_type=Market&position_idx=0&qty=5&reduce_only=false&side=Buy&symbol=MATICUSDT&time_in_force=GoodTillCancel&timestamp=" + to_string(timestamp);

    string sign = hmacEncode(reqParam, secret_key);

    reqParam = reqParam + "&sign=" + sign;

    string urlStr = "https://api.bybit.com/private/linear/order/create?" + reqParam;

    cout << urlStr << endl;

    curl = curl_easy_init();
    if (curl)
    {
        // set params
        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);             // post req
        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, urlStr.c_str()); // url
        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "");
        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);

        // Header "Content-Type: application/json"

Never Paint Again wall coatings are the gift that keeps on giving because after you have our painting system applied to your home, you need not repaint or repair for over 20 years, guaranteed.
This is what attracted a customer in Berkshire to contact us to repair and paint his home.
The proven promise of 2 decades of a maintenance free building, saving a heck of a lot of time, money and hassle was something that attracts many people to contact us year in and year out, to apply the NPA exterior wall coating system, and here is an example of the work we did to their house.
There are literally hundreds of case studies on this website, so I will try and be brief and not repeat what has been said many times over before.
Here is a taste of the textured exterior wall coating work we did to a property in Berkshire.
We have worked all across this county, painting the houses of Berkshire, both rural and urban, with our long life house paint system, although we do actually offer service across England, Wales and much of Scotland. We are the largest exterior wall coating contractor in the UK.
The first thing the team do when they arrive is to speak to the customer and run through the work schedule with them, clarifying any points and explaining in plain english the work they will be doing.
On this house, the scaffolding had already been erected before we arrived.
As you can see if your home has a conservatory like this place, access above is not a problem for us and we have many clever solutions to span a conservatory or extension to gain access to the walls.
This stage you can see us masking up the house so we don't make any mess whilst we work on the walls.
We also cover the ground with dust sheets to prevent any spills or mess.
We then started work on the repairs, which in this case were several cracks where the weather has pounded against the wall, causing small areas of render to come away from the wall surface.
Quite apart from the repairs we also need to stablise the surface in readiness for the wall coatings, so if you look at the bricks on the ground floor of the house, you may notice the bricks are now a cement colour.
This is a hand-applied coating known as a bagging coat, which fills in any gaps in the bricks, including the pointing, so when the coating is sprayed onto the wall, you will still see the outline of the bricks, carefully preserving the character of the house.
Here's the work in progress from the front of the house.
As you can see, it has been masked up, a bagging coat (cement slurry) applied and now we are in the process of applying the weatherproof primer coat to the house, once again, carefully by hand.
We of course have to wait for the cement slurry to dry before we can apply the primer.
Once the primer is dry (see below) we then get the spray machine out of the van and connect it to an air compressor, while one of the labourers starts mixing up the coating in huge drums, ready to be introduced into the paint lines of the pump.
Then the spray operator tests the gun, adjusts the mixture of air and paint to enable the optimum settings for spraying a textured, protective masonry coating.
Spraying the top coat is by far the quickest part of the whole process, but this is only achieved through meticulous preparation, because we offer a comprehensive 20 year warranty, we have to ensure the job is done by the book and 100% correct and it is this attention to detail our customers love.
Here is the finished article, a weatherproof coating applied to this house in Berkshire.
Looks good eh? The coating we applied to this house is 20 times the thickness of normal masonry paint and the finish achieved is far better and far higher quality than masonry paint.
This house will not need painting again for over 20 years because it now benefits from our textured exterior wall coating system.
Contact us today and find out how much this painting system would cost on your house.
Contact us today by phone on 0800 970 4928 or by email. You can click on the CONTACT button, complete the application form (which is on a secure connection) and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
A survey of your home usually takes around an hour and it is not a sales pitch from a commission-chasing sharp-suited salesman, unlike some of our competitors, it is an informal meeting where the focus is on the house, not your chequebook.
Contact us today for an informal chat and maybe soon you could become one of our very happy customers!

Review by Risë Keller
What does "fair trade" really mean? This gripping and beautifully produced documentary answers that question by looking at one man's struggle to get fair compensation for coffee growers in Ethiopia.
Java Man
Coffee workers get pennies but need dimes
Marc Francis
Nick Francis
Tadesse Meskela
The film centers on the efforts of Tadesse Meskela, the general manager of the Oromia Coffee Farmers Co-operative Union, who travels the world to market the coffee produced by his co-op and to negotiate better prices for the African country's product. He repeats a simple message: Africans are not fairly compensated for their crops, especially when considering the value that people all over the world place on their daily cup of coffee.
The tireless Meskela also spends time educating his growers about what coffee is worth, informing them that people in the West pay $2.90 for a cup of coffee. The growers are accustomed to having a buyer come to them and inform them of the going rate for a kilo (2.2 pounds) of unroasted beans, typically $0.13.
Because prices for coffee are artificially low, Africans are forced to depend on international aid. Meskela says a ten-fold increase in compensation is required to allow Ethiopians to continue to provide the world with some of its finest coffee and to afford to clothe and educate their children, which they cannot do today.
The world may not be ready to pay $29.00 for a cup of coffee, but if the supply chain can be shortened, as Meskela hopes, the growers can still be compensated and consumers can still afford their morning buzz.
The Whole Cup
Black Gold also explores the broader context of coffee by taking us to the world barista championships, to cafes where coffee drinkers and gung-ho Starbucks managers are oblivious to the plight of the impoverished growers half a world away, and to the Italian headquarters of Illy, where professional tasters agree that the quality of the coffee from Ethiopia is some of the finest in the world.
We see the international commodities trading floor and the scene of the WTO talks that influence African trade policies — often behind closed doors, closed even to the representatives of the nations most affected by these policies.
While these scenes and Meskela's impassioned words build a strong case for fair trade policies, the most haunting is the scene at an aid tent in a spindly toddler gets weighed and sent home with her mother without help because she's only "semi-malnourished" and so doesn't qualify for their aid.
I think sadly of the fellow shown hacking down his beautiful, mature coffee plants to clear the field for growing chat (also called qat), a narcotic leaf that local men chew to "feel better" and that brings in a higher income per acre than coffee.
Nor can I shake the image of Meskela going into a London supermarket and searching for his country's coffee, amidst the bewildering array of choices on the shelf. He finds one or two packages that contain Ethiopian coffee, but as each is branded uniquely, it's impossible to tell just what the source is.
You might presume a documentary on this topic would grow dull, but it never does: Directors Marc and Nick Francis have assembled film that tells a fascinating story that keeps you on edge throughout the film. Not only are the production values high, with gorgeous cinematography and a beautifully composed (and judiciously used) score, but the film is also well edited. It's one of the most watchable documentaries I have ever seen.
This film is a must-see for the conscientious omnivore, or anyone at all interested in how their grande latte got to their hand. It is a documentary that should become a classic in the growing field of food journalism.

Start Investing Now Before It Is Too Late!
Accept it many of you are now spending on bills to pay for what you have wanted for years and now you can finally afford it. The last thing you will thing about is an investment for your retirement. It is your choice whether to have fun with spending money now but suffer when you get older or inverse! Take some advice from those with a little more experience: Start investing early in your career. Start from day one and you will never miss that money you're setting aside. If your company has available a 401-K or a TSP program, jump on the band wagon immediately. If you don't have these programs at your disposal, you can still start an IRA and the concepts stated here are applicable as well.
I can guarantee that it really does it make a difference when you start contributing. It is important to invest in your retirement account early in your career for two reasons. First, if you're fortunate to receive matching contributions, you don't want to miss out on those added contributions that are a significant part of your retirement benefit. Second, the longer contributions stay in your account, the more you stand to gain. Your money makes money in the form of earnings, and those earnings in turn make money, and so on.
This is what is known as the "miracle of compounding." As money grows in your account over time, the proportion resulting from earnings will become larger compared to the proportion resulting from contributions. The size of your account balance is going to depend on how much you (and your company if they match funds up to a certain percentage) contribute to your account and how your account grows as a result of earnings on your investments. To get an idea of what your retirement account could be in the future, look at the following projections. Think this way. Assume that you are an employee eligible for organizational contributions, that you are earning $28,000 each year, and that you receive no future salary increases. You choose to save 5 percent of basic pay each pay period; therefore you receive total organizational contributions of 5 percent. The growth projections below are for an assumed annual rate of return of 7 percent on your investments. After five years your account balance would be almost $17,000; after ten years your balance would increase to $40,000; and after contributing for twenty years, your account would have a balance of $122,000. Clearly your balance would continue to increase each year.
If you contributed for forty years, which is fathomable if you start a job at 23 and want to retire at age 63, your account balance would be $615,000. That's over half a million dollars folks! Just from contributing 5% of your income from the day you start work! Can this number convince you to start saving money now?.

You may have seen the headlines about a new medication hitting the market. Flibanserin, trade named Addyi, has been hailed as 'female Viagra', the 'little blue pill' for women, and a game-changer in the treatment of low libido (decreased sexual desire) in women. But many of these 'news' stories have more in common with paperback bodice-ripper novels and than they do with real, medical science. So let's bust some myths and discuss what these pills, both Viagra and Addyi really are and what they can and can't do.
Viagra (medical name: sildenafil) works for men with erectile dysfunction (ED) by increasing blood flow to the penis. This allows a man to get and keep an erection which is hard enough for sexual intercourse. Viagra works by inhibiting a specific enzyme, allowing for greater concentrations of a chemical called nitric oxide in penile tissue. Elevated levels of nitric oxide result in relaxation of the smooth muscle in the walls of blood vessles. So, by causing relaxation of these blood vessel walls, the vessels enlarge and can hold more blood, engorging and enlarging the erectile tissue of the penis. It all sounds pretty sexy, doesn't it?
That's right. The sole medical purpose of Viagra is to allow men to get more satisfactory erection in response to stimulation of the penis. Viagra does not have any direct effect on libido or sex drive. That being said, getting a harder, longer lasting erection and a more satisfying sex life can have an indirect effect on libido (so can a good Ryan Gosling flick, if you ask me. But you didn't.).
Addyi (medical name: flibanserin) on the other hand, does have a direct effect on libido. As we all know, libido is centered in the brain (and, according to conventional wisdom, women only have one brain whereas men sometimes have two. But we won't go there).
Flibanserin is a serotonin agonist, meaning that it binds to (but does not activate or 'turn on') receptors for serotonin, a neurotransmitter (chemical signal) in the brain. It also increases circulating levels of 2 other neurotransmitters, norepinephrine and dopamine.
By altering responses to these chemical signals in the brain, it is said to directly affect sexual desire and libido. In actuality (ie, in clinical trials), the medication increased the number of satisfying sexual events per month by about one half to one over placebo from a starting point of about two to three. That's not bad. But it's certainly not Love Potion #9.
So, how does it work? Well, the mechanism of action of Addyi is very similar to that which is seen in some types of anti-depressants. In fact, Addyi was originally developed as an antidepressant before being re-purposed and re-branded as a libido-boosting treatment for women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder. (I swear, that's what it's called. Thanks, Science!). So, whereas Viagra acts on erectile tissue and not on the brain, Addyi acts on the brain and not on female erectile tissue (I swear, that's what it's called. Thanks, Science!).
Both Viagra and Addyi can have significant side-effects and neither should be used without a doctor's prescription and supervision. And certainly, neither should be purchased from an unregulated or online supplier. That's a recipe for disaster (or for Tiramisu, which also may have an effect on female sexual response, especially when eaten while watching Ryan Gosling).
So, now that you know a little more biochemistry, aren't you kinda a little turned on? I sure am. Time to watch 'The Notebook' and eat some espresso-soaked ladyfinger cookies with mascarpone.

Do you know who makes mistakes? Everyone. Do you know who makes more mistakes than anyone? Apple Inc.
Corporations are people, too, you know. No matter how you look at it, the world's most valuable company is riddled with blunders, mistakes, miscues, and examples of Murphy's Law. At least, that's the impression you would get by looking at headlines, reading Apple and business websites, and listening to various and sundry Podcasts.
Apple gets a lot right, but all tech-giants have their less than favorable moments.
I would be more inclined to pay attention to such drivel if it compared Apple to, say, Samsung; or Microsoft, or Google, but somehow Apple gets singled out and seldom compared– you know; so we have some kind of baseline comparison.
Apple's received a lot of news coverage regarding its latest bug that allowed users to snoop—or be snooped on—through unanswered FaceTime calls.
Yes, loud and clear. "Apple shouldn't talk about privacy if it can't keep its own software private and secure." Oh, by the way. It was Group FaceTime which doesn't get used as often, and Apple did shut it down quickly after the bug hit the public in the face.
They also didn't perform as well in the stock market as they'd hoped.
Remember, Apple doesn't actually perform in the stock market. Apple and APPL are not the same.
Yet, only Apple has blunders that need to be written about. Why is that? After all, Android and Windows have a much larger marketshare with hundreds of millions more customers. How about if somebody compared them with Apple to see who stacks up best?
Wing-Girot goes on to list Apple's Five Biggest Blunders of the past year.
Quality Control – iPad Pro models that bend less than last previous models are a problem.
AirPower – Apple announced the wireless charger but didn't ship it.
HomePod – The problem isn't the hardware, it's Siri. Why don't people like Siri? They use it more than others.
Specifications – Apple just isn't keeping up with the Android Joneses, yet, at the premium level, Apple sells more iPhones than any Android maker, so maybe customers are less concerned about bullet points than Apple critics.
Anti-Apple knocks often run in packs of circles.

Morgan Super 3 Modernizes the Classic, Iconoclastic Three-Wheeler
bynews22 • February 24, 2022
New monocoque structure and a 1.5-liter Ford three-cylinder engine bring the 1400-pound roadster a little closer to the 21st century.
While we loved the quirky Morgan 3 Wheeler, we always knew that it wouldn't get to grow nearly as old as the English sports-car maker's other long-lived models. That was because the S&S flat-twin engine that powered it, which defined both its frontal appearance and its driving behavior, was barely able to pass stringent European emissions standards back when the car was new in 2013. By the time it retired in 2020, its air-cooled engine had been strangled like a malaise-era V-8, its output cut to just 82 horsepower—early ones had made 116 hp—while the rising cost of the U.S.-made powerplant had pushed the 3 Wheeler's price up to a hefty $59,000.
Which is why you're looking at a new and substantially different three-wheeler from Morgan: the new Super 3. The biggest change is obvious from the first glance: the loss of the motorcycle engine for a water-cooled powerplant in the form of a 1.5-liter Ford three-cylinder engine. But the rest of the car has been substantially modernized, too, and we're promised that the version that will be reaching U.S. buyers later this year will be cheaper, faster, and better to drive than its characterful predecessor.
The new engine has dramatically altered the Super 3's front-end appearance. The Super 3 now features a mesh grille covering the bulkier motor where the old car's cylinder blocks were on proud display. Morgan's designers have chosen a much squarer design to surround the bulkier new powerplant. It stands in contrast to the curved teardrop shape further back, with an exposed cast metal crossmember acting as both a mounting point for the front suspension and a design element. Europe-market Super 3s will have their headlights mounted farther out, as seen here, but U.S.-bound examples—which are legally regarded as motorcycles—must have theirs mounted closer to the centerline within the grille aperture.
The Ford engine produces peaks of 118 horsepower and 110 pound-feet of torque and will work against a claimed dry weight of just 1400 pounds. Morgan is anticipating a zero-to-62-mph time of around seven seconds and a top speed of 130 mph. As before, power is channeled through a five-speed manual gearbox from the Mazda Miata; a six-speed was considered, but the extra ratio was reckoned unnecessary. This drives a bevel box to turn a belt connected to the single rear wheel, the layout meaning there is no need for a differential. Nor is there any power steering or ABS for the braking system, so Morgan hasn't become too modern. The offset design of the thin front wheels, which will be available in both 13- and 14-inch sizes, has tightened the turning circle compared to the old car. For brakes, Morgan continues to use discs at the front and a drum at the rear.
The Super 3's structure is another significant innovation for this most traditional of car companies, marking the brand's first use of monocoque construction. That also means, even more shockingly, that the Super 3 doesn't have its bodywork mounted to a wooden substructure, a feature that has been common to every previous Morgan since the firm's foundation. Instead, the whole body is made from superformed aluminum. As before, there are no doors or roof, with different sizes of plastic windscreens being offered as options. External accessory rails will allow bags, carriers, and even cameras to be clipped on; their design is protected by the first patent Morgan has ever registered.
The minimalist cabin is designed to be entirely weatherproof; Morgan says it is possible to clean the interior with a jet wash. Switchgear and the twin round digital displays in the center of the dashboard all meet the international IP4 standard for dust and water resistance. Seats are fixed, but the pedal box moves for different-size drivers. Material choice will include vinyl, saddle leather, and tough "adventure spec" fabric. Buyers will be able to choose from a wide range of colors, and, as with the old 3 Wheeler, some visually striking graphics packs.
We don't have finalized pricing yet, but Morgan promises the Super 3 will be both cheaper and better equipped than the P101 runout edition of the old car. The first U.S. customers will be getting their cars before the end of the year.

"The Great Migration", Ranjan Ramchandani
Born in India and based in Singapore, Ranjan Ramchandani is an internationally awarded travel and wildlife photographer, a safari photo mentor, and the Asia/Africa Editor of The Wild Lens Magazine. This self-taught photographer first picked up a camera at the age of five and initially began as a landscape photography. Since then, he has not stopped capturing memorable moments into digital timeless capsules to share with his audience as he spends a majority of his time exploring wildlife and new regions of the world.
Viewers often imagine themselves living in the retina of this world traveler's eyes so we can see more from his personal optic lenses.
In speaking with Ranjan, one would quickly realize that beyond his eye for superb compositions, his curiosity, love, and respect for nature are what make his work so emotionally engaging and breathtaking.
Ranjan loves to travel to wildlife's natural habitat and gets up-close-and-personal to observe, document, and participate with their permission. He is fascinated by diverse cultures and traditions. Through his lens, he is a vivid storyteller to share interactions between humans, between natural elements, and between nature and humans at the most authentic level. In practicing the preservation of wildlife as we find it, Ranjan laments over the shattering of fragile ecosystems in the name of modernization, convenience, and industrialization. He sympathizes with wildlife animals held captive, their freedom lost, and their intelligence squandered.
Latest Series: Celestial Bodies
Celestial Bodies is a series inspired by an article Ranjan came across discussing the possibility of refueling stations being installed in an artificial base on the Moon. It lead Ranjan to imagine an alternate reality for intelligent wildlife where they could escape to the cosmos as represented in this series.

QUEBEC'S BAN ON FACE COVERING TO BE CHALLENGED IN COURT: Two groups have filed a legal challenge to Quebec's Bill 62, saying the face-veil law "gravely infringes" the religious and equality rights of certain Muslim women in the province. The recently adopted law prohibits students from covering their face in class. It also forces people whose fare requires a card with photo ID to uncover their face before riding public transit, although they can put the veil back on once they've been identified. The National Council of Canadian Muslims, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association and Marie-Michelle Lacoste, a Quebec woman who converted to Islam in 2003, filed the challenge in Quebec Superior Court on Tuesday. The challenge takes direct aim at the section of the law that forces public sector employees and private citizens to have their face uncovered when giving or receiving public services.
FORMER BLUE JAYS STAR HALLADAY DIES IN PLANE CRASH: Former Toronto Blue Jays star pitcher Roy Halladay died Tuesday after his plane crashed in the Gulf of Mexico. He was 40. The sheriff's department in Pasco County, Fla., confirmed Halladay's body was found at the scene of the crash. At a news conference, Sheriff Chris Nocco — who knew Halladay — said the ICON A5 went down about noon Eastern Time near Holiday, Fla. Halladay was an amateur pilot who often posted on social media about small planes. ICON aircraft had posted a video with Halladay trying out a new plane. Halladay won a Cy Young Award with the Blue Jays in 2003 and took the NL award in 2010 with the Philadelphia Phillies. He threw the 20th perfect game in MLB history on May 29, 2010. The native of Denver, Colo., was selected by the Blue Jays in the first round (No. 17 overall) of the 1995 MLB Amateur Draft.
HEALTH SPENDING TO HIT $242 BILLION THIS YEAR, REPORT SAYS: A boost in economic conditions across the country has contributed to a slight uptick in health spending across Canada, according to a new report released Tuesday. Figures from the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) projected that health spending would reach $6,604 per capita by the end of 2017, representing an increase of $200 per person over 2016 levels. Health care costs have been rising at an annual average pace of 3.2 per cent since 2010, and CIHI said the projected 2017 spike of nearly four per cent may be signalling an era of increased government spending on all areas from hospitals to prescription drugs. Chris Kuchciak, manager of the CIHI's Health Expenditures Department, said the growth rates Canada witnessed in recent years had marked a return to relative austerity compared to the previous decade when spending rates were rising between six and seven per cent each year. And that period had come after a period of fiscal restraint in the mid-1990s, he said.
FEDS TO TIGHTEN WORKPLACE HARASSMENT RULES: The federal government is embarking on a regulatory overhaul to crack down on harassment in federal workplaces, from Parliament Hill to local bank branches. New legislation unveiled Tuesday is aimed at giving workers and their employers a clear course of action to better deal with allegations of bullying, harassment and sexual harassment, exerting more pressure on companies to combat unacceptable behaviour and punish those who don't take it seriously. The changes will merge separate labour standards for sexual harassment and violence and subject them to the same scrutiny and dispute resolution process, which could include having an outside investigator brought in to review allegations. The proposed rules would also enforce strict privacy rules to protect the victims of harassment or violence. Once passed, the legislation would also allow anyone unhappy with how their dispute is being handled to complain to the federal labour minister, who could step in to investigate and order sanctions for employers.
HEALTH CANADA CHANGES RULES ON ABORTION PILL MIFEGYMISO: Women who want to use the abortion pill Mifegymiso can now take it farther along in their pregnancy, Health Canada said Tuesday in announcing changes to how the medication is prescribed and dispensed. The federal department said the abortion pill can now be prescribed up to nine weeks into a pregnancy, rather than the previous limit of seven weeks. As well, the drug that was initially known as RU-486 can be dispensed directly to patients by a pharmacist or a prescribing health professional. Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights, one of several organizations that has been calling for more accessible abortion in Canada, lauded the changes by Health Canada. Sandeep Prasad, executive director of Action Canada, said in a statement that Mifegymiso has the potential to significantly improve access to abortion, especially for women in rural and remote areas who are forced to travel hundreds, sometimes thousands of kilometres, to find an abortion provider.
RCMP DESTROYED MURDER VICTIM'S BELONGINGS, INQUIRY HEARS: The brother of a murdered Indigenous woman says Alberta RCMP destroyed his sister's belongings even though nobody had been charged in her death. Paul Tuccaro, whose sister Amber disappeared in 2010, told the inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women that police could at least have given them to her family instead of throwing them out. In two hours of emotional testimony in Edmonton, he described how RCMP seemed to downplay the family's concerns about Amber's disappearance and didn't keep them in touch with the investigation after her body was found. The national inquiry is scheduled to sit for three days in the Alberta capital to hear from family members about their missing daughters, wives and mothers.
PRIVATE RETAILERS TO SELL POT IN MANITOBA: Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister says retail sales of marijuana will be done exclusively through private retailers when recreational use of the drug is legalized next July. Pallister announced Tuesday some of the major points of the province's plan for marijuana sales, which he says is aimed at cutting into the black market and keeping cannabis away from kids. The government will maintain a wholesale monopoly, but private stores will sell the drug at a price they can set themselves. Municipalities will have the right to ban marijuana stores if they want, cannabis will not be sold in the same stores as alcohol, and there will be private online sales as well. The government is asking potential retailers to submit bids in the coming weeks, and says bids will be judged on storage security, distance from schools and more.
JUDGE DECIDING ON DIRECTED ACQUITTAL REQUEST IN GAS PLANTS TRIAL: Two former top political aides will hear on Thursday whether they need to offer further defence to accusations they illegally destroyed documents about the Ontario government's politically explosive decision to cancel two gas plants ahead of the provincial election in 2011. Ontario court Judge Timothy Lipson on Tuesday reserved his decision on a request from David Livingston and Laura Miller for a directed acquittal — that he dismiss the case against them without the defence putting forward any evidence. Livingston and Miller, top aides to ex-Liberal premier Dalton McGuinty, argued through their lawyers that the prosecution has failed to prove their guilt on charges of mischief and illegal computer use but prosecutor Tom Lemon said emails from 2012 indicated their culpability. Among the emails, court heard, were instructions on "double deleting" documents, and discussion of the increasingly tense political situation at the time: A legislature committee and others were requesting documents related to the Liberal government's decision to scrap and relocate the gas plants, which cost taxpayers more than $1 billion.
JAPANESE INTERNMENT LETTERS CONVEY BETRAYAL: Researchers have discovered an archive of 300 letters Japanese Canadians sent to the federal government protesting the sale of their homes, businesses and heirlooms while they were held in internment camps during the Second World War. Authors of the letters include the Victoria owners of a successful dry cleaning business, an internee whose cousins died in France serving Canada during the First World War and a man who put two of his Canadian-born children through medical school. Historian Jordan Stanger-Ross of the University of Victoria says many Japanese Canadians were prepared to accept being sent to internment camps during the war, but losing everything was not expected and was regarded as a profound betrayal. He says the federal government promised to keep the homes and businesses for the internees until after the war, but it changed policy and the properties were sold. Stanger-Ross is part of a seven-year project that found the letters while examining the dispossession of Japanese Canadians.
SENATOR WANTS TO DISCUSS CAPE BRETON AUTONOMY: A Mi'kmaq senator says Cape Breton could follow the lead of a First Nation that transformed itself economically through self-sufficiency, and discuss separating from Nova Scotia. Sen. Daniel Christmas said the Nova Scotia island is "dying" and he predicts depopulation and high unemployment rates will continue unless drastic action is taken. Christmas said Cape Breton should start discussing its independence and could borrow from the self-reliant economic model he helped craft for Membertou First Nation two decades ago. Membertou is just outside Sydney, Cape Breton's largest community, and has become one of the most prosperous Indigenous communities in the country. Christmas — named to the Senate last fall by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — first made the proposal last Thursday during the inaugural Father Greg MacLeod lecture at the Membertou Trade and Convention Centre.

Partnering with Universities on STEAM Programs: How Schools Are Doing It (And Why)
University partnerships offer benefits for K–12, especially for STEM and STEAM programs — and not just in the ways you might expect. From expertise and mentoring to hands-on experiences and career exposure, the positive results of working with higher ed faculty impact students and K–12 educators alike.
By Leila Meyer
Partnerships are a key component of successful STEM and STEAM programs for K-12 schools. According to Next Generation Learning for All: A report from the NSF-supported forum, published by the Education Development Center (EDC) and SRI International: "Partners external to schools and STEM programs in other educational settings provide students and teachers with critically important STEM learning experiences, knowledge, and mentoring."
Some schools have collaborated with universities to bring undergraduate students, graduate students and professors into K-12 classrooms to work with students and teachers on STEAM programs. Other schools are sending students and teachers to universities for enrichment or professional development.
The Scientist in the Classroom Partnership Program is a collaboration between several colleges and universities in the area of Nashville, TN and Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools. Through this partnership, Rose Park Magnet Math and Science Middle School has a scientist from Vanderbilt University on site to work with the school's science teachers.
Over time, the partnership between Rose Park Magnet and Vanderbilt has evolved to the point that the scientist is at the school full-time, working with teachers and students throughout the building. According to Robert Blankenship, principal of Rose Park Magnet Middle, one of the biggest advantages of the program is "the expertise and the experience that the professors and the scientists bring that probably are not readily available to our science teachers."
Among other things, the Vanderbilt scientist helps coach the school's VEX Robotics team. The school also partners with Fisk University to bring in experts to work with the school's faculty and staff, as well as hosting another after-school club focusing on robotics.
Another major benefit of these partnerships is professional collaboration. According to Blankenship, "the beauty of it is that we get to bounce things off of each other and say, 'Well, this might work; we never thought of it that way."
Often this professional collaboration involves university scientists working with science teachers to develop curriculum for use in the classroom. Four science teachers from Rose Park Magnet Math and Science Middle School worked with scientists from Vanderbilt University over the summer. "They spent two solid weeks together, and more," Blankenship said. "Two right here on campus and then over at Vanderbilt's campus developing their curriculum specific to their grade level."
The University of Arkansas - Fort Smith (UAFS) offers a program called Adopt-a-Professor, which also partners university professors with local K-12 teachers. The partnerships span one semester, with teachers and professors collaborating on lesson plans. "The professors meet with the teachers at UASF, and the teachers let them know what standards they're working on, and they collaborate on those lessons with the professors," said Tura Bailey, principal at Hackett Elementary School. The professors then come in three times over the course of the semester to teach those co-developed lessons to children in the classroom.
Hackett School District has participated in the program almost every semester since the program launched in early 2015. Bailey said the relationships the teachers develop with the professors sometimes continue after the semester is over. "There's one professor — she worked in one of our 6th and 7th grade math class last semester — and even though we're not partnered with her this semester, she's still coming by. So they do keep up those collaborations and those friendships with the professors, even when their time in the program is over."
Professional development opportunities for teachers
The Center for K12 STEM Education at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering offers several professional development programs for local teachers. The programs are funded by the National Science Foundation and bring in cohorts of teachers from middle and high schools in New York for training on teaching topics such as information security, robotics and mechatronics. "We have one currently called DRK12 training teachers to use these robotics, but the purpose of the robotics is to teach math and science in their math and science classes," said Ben Esner, director of the Center for K12 STEM Education. "However, out of that project will come all kinds of curriculum, all kinds of lessons and activities."
Nord Anglia Education — an organization that operates 43 schools around the world — has partnered with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Through this partnership, teachers at one of Nord Anglia's schools — the British International School of Chicago, Lincoln Park — have the opportunity to attend a week-long professional development program each summer.
The school tries to send as many teachers as possible "to really spread the benefit of it across all of our staff," said Tom Collins, head of STEAM at Nord Anglia's British International School of Chicago, Lincoln Park in Chicago. Each school also has a lead teacher involved with the MIT collaboration, and that teacher provides in-service training for the rest of the staff "to keep them up to date on what's going on and plan and prepare for the challenges."
Extra motivation for students
For its part in the collaboration, MIT has created STEAM challenges for students at some of Nord Anglia's schools. The students work on the challenges in mixed-grade teams from kindergarten through grade 5, with the fifth graders taking on leadership roles. At the British International School of Chicago, Lincoln Park, the MIT-created STEAM challenges have "invigorated" students, according to Collins. As part of the collaboration with MIT, students have the opportunity to travel to Massachusetts and learn directly from MIT students and professors, and Collins said the trip is like "a carrot on a stick" for the kids.
The collaboration between Rose Park Magnet Math and Science Middle School and Vanderbilt University also serves to motivate students. High achieving students in grades 7 and 8 can opt in to the Day of Discovery program. Students in the DoD program spend one day each week on campus at Vanderbilt, working with university scientists to complete labs and other activities. "Not everybody can miss a whole day of school every week and still be caught up, so it's been a little challenge," Blankenship said.
The Center for K12 STEM Education at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering offers summer programs for middle and high school students. Students have to apply to the program, and, if they're accepted, they can spend four to seven weeks on the university campus. According to Esner, the kids work with NYU students on "very hands-on, very real-world applications of engineering, science and technology."
Exposure to college and future careers
Hackett School District is in a rural area, and, according to Bailey, the students sometimes feel like university is not available to them. The Adopt-a-Professor program has made university feel more accessible, particularly when students get the opportunity to visit the campus itself. "It makes them realize that college is available, close to home," Bailey said. "They don't have to go off somewhere far away and be away from family to be able to get a college education."
The program can even make STEM careers seem more accessible. "Last semester we had the professor that came from the STEM center,... so when he brought the 3D printer, that just really drove it home to them how important technology is going to be and the kind of jobs that they're going to be required to have someday," Bailey said.
These are only a few examples of the many STEM and STEAM partnership opportunities available with universities. Teachers and administrators can reach out to local universities to see if programs are available, or initiate new partnerships themselves.

"In an extraordinary way, "The Biblical Foundations of Christian Worship" is a massive and comprehensive undertaking designed to provide the biblical context out of which worship is celebrated and enacted. It establishes the working definition for worship through the specific vocabularies of the Old and New Testaments and highlights the use of symbolism, sacrifice, a sense of the numinous, and the myriad of responses to salvation history. It culminates with the history of Israelite/Jewish and New Testament worship, the biblical institutions of worship and those who lead in its celebration, and then reaches its zenith with the depiction of the use of music and art in its varied forms and other sacred acts which are integral parts of the worship tradition."^" Richard A. Rollins, Liaison Officer, National Baptist Convention of America, Inc.

"Gymmet öppnar om en timme."
Translation:The gym opens in an hour.
sjutton, länkan fungerar inte längre!
i en timme = lasting for a duration of an hour, as in "we'll stay for an hour"
om en timme = in an hour, as in "we'll leave in an hour"
Those are simple. på en timme means that something will take an hour to accomplish. For instance: vi kan flyga dit på tre timmar = (literally) we can fly there in three hours = (idiomatically) it takes us three hours to fly there.
In English, an hour and one hour have different connotations of precision. Which is 'en timme' closer to?
That was a tricky one :)! I'd say it's closer to "an hour".
If you want to point out that it is one hour you could put more stress on 'en' than the computer voice does here.
Not very tolerant of typos, this one. Any chance of an almost correct for "The gym opens in an hours?"
I don't think so. This is decided by Duo centrally and it works the same for all courses, so we as course contributors can't do anything about it. The algorithm is that you can have one letter wrong so long as it doesn't turn into another word.

WNBA Rookie of Year joined protest of Trump's travel ban
Jessica Hill — Associated Press
In this July 29, 2016, photo, United States' Breanna Stewart, left, dribbles around Canada's Tamara Tatham during the second half of women's exhibition basketball game in Bridgeport, Conn. Stewart didn't think twice about heading to LAX airport on Sunday, Jan. 29, 2017, to join the protest against the Trump administration's immigration ban. So the WNBA Rookie of the Year, who was in Los Angeles rehabbing a knee injury, was one of the 1,000s of people at the airport.
PUBLISHED: January 31, 2017 at 5:44 p.m. | UPDATED: June 17, 2021 at 6:45 a.m.
NEW YORK >> Breanna Stewart didn't think twice about heading to Los Angeles International Airport on Sunday night to join the protest against President Donald Trump's travel ban, which bars citizens of seven predominantly Muslim nations from entering the U.S.
So the WNBA Rookie of the Year, who was in Los Angeles rehabbing a knee injury, was one of a few hundred people to go to the airport .
"I play for Team USA. My dad wears an American flag tank top. I feel deeply patriotic, but I also recognize how privileged I have been, and this ban just goes against everything that makes me proud to be an American," Stewart told The Associated Press in an email Monday night. "I felt like I needed to be a part of fighting for what is right. It's moments like this where you have to take a side, and joining in felt like the right thing to do. It was more, how could I not go?"
Stewart said it was her first protest.
"It really puts things into perspective. We were out there fighting for other human's safety," Stewart said. "Even in the biggest games (of basketball), you're fighting to do your best, for your teammates and to represent all the work you have put in, but it's not life and death. Though there might be less pressure on me personally because I'm just developing my voice as an activist and there to support the lawyers, etc., who are fighting the battle in court, this is a life and death issue."
The Seattle Storm forward sprained the posterior cruciate ligament in her right knee in early January while playing in the Chinese basketball league. She said the rehab is going well.
"I am anxious to be back, but I still have a few weeks until I'm 100 percent," the three-time AP college basketball player of the year said. "I'm on the right path and also working on some things that will help keep me more-healthy year round."
Stewart's not the only WNBA player who has been involved in protests the last few weeks. Indiana's Briann January and Marissa Coleman took part in the women's march in Washington the day after the inauguration.
"There is no greater inspiration than individuals speaking out on their values, and we remain very proud of our players expressing their views to address critical societal issues," WNBA President Lisa Borders told the AP in an email.
January was in awe of the Washington event she attended.
"It was absolutely amazing. It was empowering, inspiring," she said. "It's hard to describe the feeling, so many people that were there, coming together, so much positive energy. No hate, no rioting. We were all out there fighting for things we believe in."
The Indiana Fever guard was happy that other WNBA players like Stewart have gotten involved.
"We have a very informed group," she said. "We have a very educated group of women aware of what's going on in the world and we're directly affected by what's going on."

Catalan: nickname for someone with blond hair or a fair complexion, from Latin russus. Swedish: ornamental name from ros 'rose'. Slovenian: nickname from the dialect adjective ros 'russet', hence denoting a person with russet-colored hair. Compare Rus 2. Slovenian (Roš): probably also a nickname from roš, a reduced form of rovaš 'stick split lengthwise', which was used to keep accounts (by scoring or making notches in the wood). Cambodian or other Southeast Asian: unexplained.
Where is the Ros family from?
You can see how Ros families moved over time by selecting different census years. The Ros family name was found in the USA, the UK, Canada, and Scotland between 1840 and 1920. The most Ros families were found in the USA in 1920. In 1840 there were 2 Ros families living in New York. This was about 67% of all the recorded Ros's in the USA. New York had the highest population of Ros families in 1840.
Use census records and voter lists to see where families with the Ros surname lived. Within census records, you can often find information like name of household members, ages, birthplaces, residences, and occupations.
What did your Ros ancestors do for a living?
In 1880, the most common Ros occupation in the USA was Farmer. 26% of Ros's were Farmers. Farmer, Laborer and Baker were the top 3 reported jobs worked by Ros. A less common occupation for the Ros family was Barber.
Census records can tell you a lot of little known facts about your Ros ancestors, such as occupation. Occupation can tell you about your ancestor's social and economic status.
What Ros family records will you find?
There are 3,000 census records available for the last name Ros. Like a window into their day-to-day life, Ros census records can tell you where and how your ancestors worked, their level of education, veteran status, and more.
There are 642 immigration records available for the last name Ros. Passenger lists are your ticket to knowing when your ancestors arrived in the USA, and how they made the journey - from the ship name to ports of arrival and departure.
There are 1,000 military records available for the last name Ros. For the veterans among your Ros ancestors, military collections provide insights into where and when they served, and even physical descriptions.
You've only scratched the surface of Ros family history.
What is the average Ros lifespan?
Between 1959 and 2004, in the United States, Ros life expectancy was at its lowest point in 1959, and highest in 1978. The average life expectancy for Ros in 1959 was 25, and 66 in 2004.
An unusually short lifespan might indicate that your Ros ancestors lived in harsh conditions. A short lifespan might also indicate health problems that were once prevalent in your family. The SSDI is a searchable database of more than 70 million names. You can find birthdates, death dates, addresses and more.

Q: Searching a string from large text file of 10 Mb I have a large file of about 10 MB, I want to search a specific string, and this specific string may be used a lot of times in 10 Mb text file. I need results where this specific string is used. I want to do search like Google. For example when i write a string then google comes with matching Patterns . Your suggestions will be appreciated.
file formate

*

*he is going to school.

*we should do best deeds.

*we should work hard.
.
.
.
.

*Always speak truth.

i have search edit field in my application.
user write "should" in search edit field.and press search button.
a list should be opened in which searched words come with it's complete line.
for example result should be

*we should do best deeds.

*we should work hard.

A: A simple way to search a file and get a match "with context" is to use grep. For example, to match every line with "hello", and print one line before and three lines after, you would do
grep -b1 -a3 'hello' myBigFile.txt

You can use grep -E to allow for a wide range of PCRE regex syntax.
Without more detail it would be hard to give you a better answer.
EDIT 2
Now that you have explained your problem more clearly, here is a possible approach:
InputStream fileIn;
BufferedReader bufRd;
String line, pattern;
pattern = "should";  // get the pattern from the user, do not hard code. Example only

fileIn = new FileInputStream("myBigTextfile.txt");
bufRd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fis, Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
while ((line = bufRd.readLine()) != null) {
    if(line.contains(pattern)) {
      System.out.println(line); // echo matching line to output
    }
}

// Done with the file
br.close();

If you need to match with wildcards, then you might replace the line.contains with something that is a little more "hard core regex" - for example
matchPattern = Pattern.compile("/should.+not/");

(only need to do that once - after getting input, and before opening file) and change the condition to
if (matchPattern.matcher(line).find())

Note - code adapted from / inspired by https://stackoverflow.com/a/7413900/1967396 but not tested.
Note there are no for loops... maybe the boss will be happy now.
By the way - if you edit your original question with all the information you provided in the comments (both to this answer and to the original question) I think the question can be re-opened.
If you expect the user to do many searches it may be faster to read the entire file into memory once. But that's outside of the scope of your question, I think.
