Plans for Prince Louis to start preschool are also in flux.
By Emily Dixon published 4 January 21
Prince George and Prince Charlotte haven't yet returned to school after the holidays.
The British government instructed London primary schools to remain closed due to high COVID-19 infection rates in the capital.
George and Charlotte currently attend exclusive prep school Thomas's Battersea.
Children across the U.K. are going back to school after the holidays today—but Prince George and Princess Charlotte, the oldest children of Kate Middleton and Prince William, will stay at home a little longer. As Hello! reports, the Cambridge kids haven't yet returned to exclusive prep school Thomas's Battersea, after the government announced that all London primary schools should remain closed as a result of high COVID-19 infection rates in the capital. (In the U.K., primary schools typically educate children between the ages of about 4 and 11, though Thomas's Battersea teaches students up to the age of 14.)
The pandemic has also likely changed Kate and William's plans for littlest Cambridge kid Prince Louis, who was predicted to start nursery (preschool) this month, according to Hello! Both George and Charlotte started nursery in January—George in 2016, and Charlotte in 2018—but the Cambridges have yet to make any such announcement for Louis.
When he does start nursery, it's likely he'll follow Charlotte's lead and attend Willcocks Nursery School, which is close to Kensington Palace; George, meanwhile, attended Westacre Montessori School in Norfolk, while the Cambridges made Anmer Hall their primary home.

Looks like it's more homeschooling for the Cambridge kids until London schools reopen—which Kate and William are no doubt used to by now. Back in May, William admitted to struggling with his children's math schoolwork. Speaking in his documentary Football, Prince William and Our Mental Health, the Duke of Cambridge shared, "You start worrying how little you actually know from your school days when you literally can't do the maths questions at home!"
Kate, meanwhile, revealed her secret to successful homeschooling was structure. "Someone gave me some very good advice, pre the [Easter] holidays, to fit some structure to keep to a pretty strict routine," she told the BBC in April. "Don't tell the children, we've actually kept it going through the holidays. I felt very mean."

The Ad Men Behind Occupy George, Occupy Wall Street Infographics Printed On Dollar Bills
By making the facts simple to understand–and putting them in a rather prominent, poignant place–two creatives offer their skills to fight wealth disparity.
By Morgan Clendaniel 2 minute Read
As the Occupy Wall Street protests gain steam, their message is being broadcast to more people, via news stories, social media, and word of mouth. Yet it's still been something of a slow process. But, as the protests occupy more and more physical space, two ad creatives have found a way to occupy a more metaphorical realm, and potentially spread the message of wealth disparity much farther: They're occupying U.S. currency.
Occupy George is a series of five stamps that place an infographic about earnings disparities and how wealth is distributed in America directly on the most famous symbol of wealth itself. The project has been pulling all-nighters for about a week, printing on more $1 bills, and then exchanging them at Occupy Wall Street protests, getting more bills to modify each time.
"We feel like just the hard solid facts on the economic disparity in
America speak for themselves so brilliantly," says "Ivan," one of the
minds behind the project. "We feel like it would be really tough to not
be moved to take action or support the movement if you were confronted
"Ivan," created Occupy George with his partner "Andy." Both men who work in
advertising but sometimes turn to creative projects that serve the
public good as an antidote to spending all day toiling for corporate
America. They've consulted legal experts and are sure that defacing
bills is 100% legal (as long as you don't mess with the serial numbers
or the denominations of the bills themselves), but they still prefer to
remain anonymous. They've worked on other culture jamming projects in
the past, like the Deprofiler,
a generic white-person mask that Arizona Hispanics could wear to
protect themselves from the state's law allowing the police to search
suspected illegal immigrants.
The infographics they've come up with to move people to action show various damning stats about how the 1% wealthiest Americans are hoarding wealth. The ones above illustrate how much money the richest 400 Americans have in comparison to the rest of us; how much of the income growth in the country is concentrated in the wealthiest 1%; and the difference between average worker pay and average CEO pay (it's a lot). There are other bills on the site–five in total–as well as some bills stamped with the missive "Soon to belong to the 1%." You can also download the templates so that you can print the graphics on bills near you, or even buy the stamps. Consider George occupied.

Q: How can i sell an iPad app without passing from Apple Store I am building an iPad app to be sold to specific customers [stores] for handling their activity.
I would like not to pass from App Store but install on their iPads.
Is it possible? If yes, What kind of license/certificate has to be applied?

A: If you are distributing iPad applications outside your own organization, either the iPads need to be jailbroken or the applications must go through the App Store. Apple does not offer any other option.

A: You'll need to look into the iOS Developer Enterprise Program.

A:
In order to develop and install apps on iOS devices, developers must register with
  Apple and join the iOS Developer Program. The real-world identity of each developer,
  whether an individual or a business, is verified by Apple before their certificate is
  issued. This certificate enables developers to sign apps and submit them to the App
  Store for distribution. As a result, all apps in the App Store have been submitted by an
  identifiable person or organization, serving as a deterrent to the creation of malicious
  apps.  They have also been reviewed by Apple to ensure they operate as described
  and don't contain obvious bugs or other problems. In addition to the technology
  already discussed, this curation process gives customers confidence in the quality of
  the apps they buy.
Businesses also have the ability to write in-house apps for use within their organization
  and distribute them to their employees. Businesses and organizations can apply to
  the iOS Developer Enterprise Program (iDEP) with a D-U-N-S number. Apple approves
  applicants after verifying their identity and eligibility. Once an organization becomes a
  member of iDEP, it can register to obtain a provisioning profile that permits in-house
  apps to run on devices it authorizes. Users must have the provisioning profile installed
  in order to run the in-house apps. This ensures that only the organization's intended
  users are able to load the apps onto their iOS devices.

GymKit two years on: Apple's quest to make fitness more connected
Taking the pulse of Apple's attempt to bring its smartwatch and gym equipment together

Until recently, gyms were disconnected places. Gym equipment rarely – if ever – worked well with wearables like fitness trackers and smartwatches beyond the chest strap, and the work we put in on the gym floor didn't sync with outdoor fitness pursuits.
Then came Apple GymKit with its tap-and-sweat, two-way flow of data between the Apple Watch and cardio machines, promising to make the gym experience a little more seamless and our fitness tracking a little more holistic.
Essential reading: watchOS 6 features revealed
At launch, the concept seemed to work well and was genuinely exciting. However, because rolling it out required both gym operators and manufacturers to buy into the idea – and serve up the enabled equipment – there was always a question mark over how soon it would hit your local gym.
Now, two years on from the fanfare unveiling in 2017, Apple has announced three new partnerships with gym equipment makers: Woodway, True Fitness and Octane Fitness. That means virtually every big player who makes equipment for gyms should be GymKit-enabled by autumn 2019.
Has GymKit invaded gyms and our fitness lives in the way Apple hoped it would or is still trying to find its place? Here's what we found out.
Why GymKit promised to change the indoor fitness game
Back in October 2017, when the first Apple GymKit gym launched in Australia, it seemed strange that leaders in the performance and fitness tech world, the likes of Garmin, Polar and Fitbit, weren't the first to crack this nut.
Read this: Apple Watch tips and tricks
Fast forward two years and the sales numbers explain a lot. According to one report from Counterpoint Technology, while the smartwatch market grew 48% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2019, the Apple Watch accounted for one-in-three of those smartwatch sales. Figures from Strategy Analytics also suggest that Apple shipped 22.5 million Apple Watch units during 2018, making it the most popular smartwatch globally.
We've made the Watch the centrepiece of our tech roadmap
So perhaps now it's less surprising that the first big relationship between equipment manufacturers, gym operators and a tech company involved Apple. It's also no surprise that for the fitness sector, having Apple take a lead represented a welcome gear change.
"It's been a quantum leap," says Greg Oliver, group chief executive and managing director at the Fitness and Lifestyle Group, which owns 500 gyms across the Asia-Pacific region. For Oliver, Apple's move into the gym space marked a "coming of age" for the industry, and he believes Apple GymKit is something gym goers will come to expect as part of any club's offering.
"We've made the Watch the centrepiece of our tech roadmap to make the experience so much more seamless," says Oliver. "So that it's used for frictionless and seamless access, for lockers, for cardio equipment and as a key component of the whole experience.
"It's recognition by one of the world's largest companies that keeping people healthy is a very important opportunity," he added. "And it's a significant step change in terms of how people are assessing, managing and continuing to monitor their fitness journeys within our brands."
Where GymKit lives in 2019
All of which sounds great, but the big question is, where can you make use of GymKit right now? Let's start with the latest stats. Apple told us exclusively that there are now 50,000 pieces of GymKit enabled equipment in 1,500 locations across 100 countries worldwide.
Essential reading: The best Apple Watch apps to download
Though the numbers are growing, penetration is still relatively low. On average these figures represent just 15 locations and 500 machines per country, though clearly some regions boast a higher density of enabled venues. Big brands and well-known gym chains are on board: Virgin Active (who were first to launch in the UK in London), Anytime Fitness, Fitness First, Lifetime Fitness, Planet Fitness, The Y and Equinox, all feature GymKit-enabled cardio equipment in some locations.
There are more equipment manufacturers too, with Stairmaster and StarTrac joining a list that already included the big hitters Technogym, Life Fitness and Matrix at launch. But that rollout is taking time.

You could draw parallels between this space and CarPlay. While it was announced back in 2016, it's taken time to become standard and it was only recently announced at WWDC that about 90% of cars in the US, and 75% globally, now support CarPlay.
Apple says a similar story is unfolding with GymKit, where it's taken time for GymKit to spread but its reach is now growing.
"Our GymKit equipment partners manufacture almost 90% of all the cardio equipment in health clubs around the world," says Jay Blahnik, senior director of fitness for health technologies, speaking to Wareable just after Apple's latest partnership announcement at WWDC. "And GymKit is becoming an increasingly standard part of their equipment offering."
Kitting out the gyms

While manufacturers are enabling more premium machines, the onus is still very much on the gym operators to kit out their clubs when it's time to refresh.
According to Jason Worthy, president of equipment makers Life Fitness, one of Apple's key partners on GymKit, it's taken some time for them to grasp the opportunity, but he also points out that this is changing.
"Even two or three years ago maybe only 1-in-10 operators was really heavily dialled into the digital disruption that was coming," says Worthy, pointing to the impact of wearables and how important data was going to become.
Fast forward to today and Worthy says it's now very rare to have a conversation with any operator that isn't thinking about technology. "Some operators just didn't see it as a priority but now they absolutely do," he says.
"We're seeing a lot of focus on tech and how integrating with wearables in general – and specifically more Apple products – is becoming a conversation starter."
It's not just the premium clubs showing an interest either; Worthy is seeing more budget operators get on board. "They now realise that technology well-executed can be a significant differentiator for them. And they know that consumer demand is heightening," he says.

Improvements to the Apple Watch now make it a great golf watch alternative
For Greg Oliver, whose company didn't need a second invitation from Apple to get on board from the get-go, it's always been a no-brainer.
"We want to invest in all of the right technologies to ensure we're continuing to try and improve the member experience and enabling people to live better lives," he says. "It's just part of our standard order that any of our new sites or club refits now come with GymKit cardio equipment."
Oliver says his brands are seeing a more engaged membership as a result too.
But there's clearly still much more work for equipment manufacturers and operators to do before GymKit becomes anywhere near ubiquitous. And for Worthy that means companies like Life Fitness helping operators understand the value of the technology and how easy it is to use and for operators to lead thereafter.
"Operators need to grab that baton and educate consumers," says Worthy. "To say 'use your Apple Watch, this is a great way to capture data and use that data within Apple Health to make smarter decisions and understand the impact of the exercise you're doing.' And maybe even go a step further and bundle up Watches with memberships."
A free Apple Watch would certainly be a decent enticement for many potential gym members, and even more so if they can see the device having demonstrable uses once they make it to the club.
Having GymKit machines is one thing but helping members to find the best way to use them is another. So what have gyms been doing to put GymKit into practice?
How GymKit is being used
At Fitness and Lifestyle Group gyms that include Barry's Bootcamp and Fitness First, Apple GymKit is part of the induction and on-boarding process for new members at those venues with the equipment. All of the trainers also wear Apple Watches to help improve the trainer-client relationship.

"Trainers are engaging with some of the members who've chosen to share their workout data," says Oliver.
"You can choose the people that you want to share with, compete with or banter with and that's added another dimension to how we can continue to retain people, motivate people and keep them exercising.
"We're trying to take people on a journey and make them a more active and healthy human being. If we're good at making it a more frictionless experience, we will hopefully get more people staying and doing that for longer."
That, Oliver says, improves the customer lifetime value from a business perspective.
"We're not only looking at this as the members who are accessing our physical facilities, but we're also looking for the Watch to be an integral part of how we assist people outside of our four walls as well.
"We've also created digital fitness programmes with the likes of Chris Hemsworth that Apple helped us develop and these sit on top of the watch as well."
Future GymKit features: Beyond cardio tracking

One area where both manufacturer and gym operators strongly agree is that GymKit technology has a big role to play in the future of the gym experience, and the current applications are just the beginning. Here's what they tip to come next.
Oliver would like to see a gradual expansion of GymKit-enabled inventory, particularly into the area of strength and functional training.
Working out: Best heart rate monitors to buy
"For me it's about how they continue to develop technology that brings more than just the cardio equipment into play," he says. "Technologies that we can deploy across some of the functional equipment to the extent that it would talk to some of the weight bearing equipment would be what I'd like to see over time."
Successfully tracking resistance, range of movement, intensity level and heart rate in the weights section has long been a Holy Grail. It would allow gym goers to ditch the notebooks and leave smartphones in the locker, and still see all of the information from previous workouts. No wearable brand has really mastered this yet and Worthy agrees it's an important next step for GymKit.
"Notwithstanding the fact that strength plays an important role in all training – whether you're an ultra runner, a body builder or something in between – having technology that encompasses strength, functional and free-weights is important," says Worthy.
But he admits that what really gets him excited is the potential for technology to drive a more personalised experience.
It's time to get personal

"We've seen Apple really lean in and I think there's some very exciting things coming down the line," says Worthy, who believes the Apple Watch could act as the mobile key to a 360-degree portable digital experience gym goers can take with them anywhere.
"A lot of people go into the gym today and they do the same programme they always do. It doesn't matter if it was six hours or six days since they were last in the gym, they tend to do the same workout," says Worthy.
"I think it can get more granular," he adds. "Let's say I get on the treadmill this morning wearing a heart rate strap, what if the treadmill was able to say 'Hey, you worked out at 8pm last night and your heart rate has not yet fully reset to base resting heart rate and so we recommend a different type of training for today. Don't just go and run hard for 5km as it's not going to give you the best training outcome.' A bit like if you had a world class coach or trainer, that's the value that you'd get."
Worthy thinks Apple is well positioned to be the vehicle to help drive all of this knowledge into the system to create this highly personalised experience.
"What did people do outside, how much sleep did they get, how many steps have they been taking, what's their heart rate response like today versus the last time they tried to attempt a PB. All of those variables coming in to drive a really rich personalised experience," he says.
Creating the club of the future
What's crystal clear from speaking to Apple, the manufacturers and the gym operators is that technology like Apple GymKit has an increasing role to play in the gym experience – and not just connecting more equipment or simply giving you ring-shaped credit for your workout. The industry as a whole is looking at how wearables can make the time we spend in the gym easier, from signing in to paying for that post-workout smoothie.
"We're also really encouraged by the fact the manufacturers and the club chains have become much more engaged about the 'club of the future,'" says Blahnik.
"They're really thinking not just about what happens on the equipment but how the whole club itself can be more connected to what the users expect to be connected to, whether it's their music, entertainment or their metrics. Everything from walking into their club and being able to pay with Apple Pay to being able to check in at the front desk with just their Apple Watch or their iPhone," he says.
"We're really excited about the opportunity in this space, and what we can bring to life with our partners. We think the future and what can happen here is very exciting."
And if we could choose what they fix first? Please let it be smart lockers that human beings can actually understand. Or maybe your Watch giving you a tiny electric shock when you don't put your weights back.

Suicide and the American Dream
More and more of us are killing ourselves. Is it the exploding of our deferred dreams?
"The millisecond my hands left the rail, it was an instant regret," recalled Kevin Hines, a man who attempted suicide from the Golden Gate Bridge in 2000. "My final thought was ''What the hell did I just do? I don't want to die.'"
Hines picked the bridge for its "simplicity," it was a four-foot barrier that a person could almost just tumble over. Because the bridge made it so easy to jump, even someone who felt deeply ambivalent, in half a second could impulsively make a choice that they would be unable to undo. You can decide not to jump as many times as you like, but if you decide to jump, it's the last decision you'll make.
Suicide is unforgiving like that. It doesn't matter if one is perfectly content 99% of the time; a single moment of despair will suffice. The majority of suicides are on impulse; studies of people who have survived suicide attempts have found that the time between the decision to kill one's self and the actual attempt is almost always an hour or less. (It is often less than five minutes.) And 90% of survivors will never ultimately kill themselves, suggesting what the New England Journal of Medicine calls the "temporary nature and fleeting sway of many suicidal crises." It is disturbing to consider how many people's brief time on Earth ends with that final thought: "What the hell did I just do?"
It's very difficult to write about suicide without appearing dreary, depressing, and morbid. Nobody wants to discuss it, nobody wants to read about it. Online, articles about suicide get about as much readership as exposes of sweatshop labor and cow torture, i.e. not a hell of a lot.
But the moment you appreciate the human implications of the statistics, you realize that silence on suicide is a moral outrage. Suicides in America alone are now at 42,000 per year; the country's suicide rate is the highest it has been in 30 years. That means people, thousands upon thousands of them, made of flesh and deeply sad, are simply popping out of existence one after another. In terms of death toll, it's fourteen 9/11s per year!
And it's largely needless. The impulsive nature of so many suicides means that they are preventable. Reducing the easy availability of means, and supporting people through the brief periods of time during which they are most likely to act, can be the difference between their living a full life and their plunging into eternal oblivion.
It's very difficult to acknowledge the full implications of the evidence. "I'm walking to the bridge, If one person smiles at me on the way, I will not jump," wrote one suicidal man before heading for the Golden Gate. Evidently nobody smiled; he jumped to his death. It might be comforting to believe that a smile wouldn't actually have made a difference, that he would have made the same choice no matter what. But from what we know, that's often not true. Many who contemplate suicide are looking for a way out; most do not want to die. A small act of kindness can nudge people from the ledge. (This is a good argument for remembering to smile at strangers.) That fact should be disquieting; it implies that so many tens of thousands of tragedies have been avoidable. It is heartening, however, insofar as it affirms the possibility of saving countless lives.
That makes the city of San Francisco's longtime indifference toward Golden Gate suicides fairly outrageous. The bridge has been known as a "suicide magnet," and dozens leap from it every year. Yet for decades, the city has been resistant to putting up a suicide net beneath the bridge. This has largely been for aesthetic reasons, as well as out of a reluctance to spend money on a problem that has little political value. After years of pressure from advocacy groups, in 2014 the city finally agreed to put up a barrier, though at the moment it's being held up because the steel for the nets has to be American-made.
It's no surprise that San Francisco dragged its feet, though. Judging from the amount of media attention it gets, suicide is evidently seen as a non-issue in the United States. Partially, the reluctance has been because of that lie we tell ourselves: that people "would have found some other way." That's false, as we know, because the easier it is to do it, the more likely it is to be done. Sometimes it's inevitable, more often it's anything but.
Yet there's also a uniquely American "free choice" aspect to the nation's blasé treatment of suicide. "If people wish to kill themselves, that's up to them" seems to be the dominant unspoken attitude. Nobody is forced to do it, thus nobody is responsible but the person who kills herself. (That's surely one of the reasons that suicide hasn't taken on a larger place in the country's gun control debate. Half of all suicides per year are by firearm, and yet mass shootings—which are far rarer—are treated as the greater tragedy.)
The individualist position, which treats every person's life outcomes as being entirely of their own making, represents both a deep moral callousness and a total indifference to empirical fact. We know that people are irrational, frail, and ambivalent, that they make choices they regret, that their brains lie to them about how much other people love them. Yet the "minding your own business" ethic is a core part of the national ideology. Your choices are your own, and if you don't like the consequences, well, sucks for you. That line of libertarian-ish thinking is common even in cases where people's choices are far less free than suicide; there is little sympathy for those devastated by economic crises, or drowning in medical bills. So it's little surprise that suicide, which appears entirely freely-chosen, should be treated as an entirely private concern.
However, suicide is not some spontaneous product of the will. Like everything else, it's brought about by a combination of a person's internal wiring and their external conditions. Nobody would voluntarily choose to be incredibly, desperately sad all the time. Factors like unemployment and a lack of social support are obvious contributors; joblessness alone is thought to cause 45,000 global suicides annually. Depression alone generally doesn't lead to suicide; on the other hand, depression combined with hopeless life conditions creates the sense of there being "no way out" that can lead a person to feel death is their only available option.
Consider how Gene Sprague felt in the last days of his life. Sprague, a gentle 34-year-old punk rocker, had suffered severe depression since his mother died during his youth. Sprague had often talked about killing himself, and when asked what he wanted to have for breakfast, would sometimes reply "death." Sprague's eventual suicide was therefore not especially surprising, even though it was tragic. But consider what Sprague wrote on his blog in the last entry before his death. Sprague was feeling especially low because he was broke and a job offer hadn't come through:
I have not heard from the future employer, I have not received a plane ticket to fly to Texas to interview for that job (I was supposed to leave tomorrow), I have completely run out of money, I am out of cigarettes, I am completely out of food, my eBay auctions have not been bid on, and I think my ferret is dying.
Sprague suffered with suicidal depression for decades. But it was only when his material circumstances became unbearable that he actually took his life. In prior times, Sprague had something to cling to. He might have been broke, but at least he had some cigarettes. Or he might have run out of food, but at least his ferret was healthy. It was the "perfect storm" of minor miseries that actually pushed him toward his death. (Even then, Sprague seemed apprehensive, pacing the Golden Gate for 90 minutes before finally standing atop the railing and allowing himself to fall backwards.)
Economic misery can drive people to the brink. The rising suicide rate in America has corresponded with a rising hopelessness among many about their prospects for financial security. At the same time as the suicide rate has risen, there has been a massive rise in death from alcohol and drug use among poor, less educated whites, who have been among those with the bleakest job prospects in the 21st-century global economy. And, when it comes to suicide itself, rates have risen fastest in Native American communities, which are serially plagued by material deprivation.
The link between inequality and suicide is important. If a huge swath of people is left without any opportunity for advancement, and told that it is because of their own failure of initiative, can we be surprised at a consequent outbreak of suicides? Just listen to the testimony of one internet commenter, who described how college debt and an impossible job market had turned him fatalistic:
Two B.A.s and I can't find a job making $7.50/hour. Even if I did, what's the point? Spin my wheels and get further into debt because I can't make a wage that covers the costs of life? I got degrees in English and History, graduated Spring of 2008…three months before the economic collapse. Things went from 'you can get $12/hour with any degree' to 'You will not be able to work if you have a BA and we'd rather hire someone without one.' When I was in high school I was making $1500/week. Now I have $22 in my pocket, no job, and come March 1st my debt to my roommate for rent will reach $1500. That's not including the $30k in student loans I have, or the cost of car insurance…There's no out, there's no way to make it work, that I've found…. I made all A's in 27 hours of class in one semester, I'm god damn motivated. I walked four miles yesterday in Louisiana heat to drop off resumes… I work hard at every fucking thing I do, and I lack no motivation whatsoever. Some people do not get this…. we don't need platitudes and this other bullshit. We need help…. if this shit doesn't get better soon, and some sort of avenue for self-advancement appears, I'm going to be left to assume that people just don't want me here enough, and I'm going to leave… It's either I get an opportunity soon, I step off the mortal coil, or I turn to robbery. If anyone has any better ideas I'm all ears, because fuck if I haven't explored every option I know about.
At a certain point, if people have to work to live, but do not have any work, they will find that they cannot live. It's hard to know what to tell someone like this; every reassurance is a lie. Is he ever going to pay off his debts while working minimum wage jobs? No. Is he ever going to advance beyond those jobs? Probably not, unless some massive new market for English majors suddenly opens up.
Research on the connections between unemployment and suicide has suggested that the link is strongest in countries that usually have low unemployment, meaning that people who expect to find a job but can't are more likely to kill themselves than people who never had the expectation to begin with. Suicides are therefore partially a product of the frustrated American dream; in a country where one expects that hard work will create success, but hard work yields nothing whatsoever, one is likely to feel like a useless failure.
A serious attempt to address suicide has to start, then, with the actual conditions of people's lives. People are lonely, they are broke, they are desperate, and words of encouragement offer nothing. Usually, attempts to address the suicide problem focus on the lack of adequate mental health care in the country. There are suicide hotlines, but little else to assure people's long-term mental health. Psychiatric counseling is expensive and often inaccessible. Yet it may be necessary to provide more than just increased access to counseling. Giving people support is obviously helpful. But a country with annual 42,000 suicides has a systemic problem, and needs to think about where despair originates.
The ability to counsel someone like Gene Sprague or the unemployed Louisianan may be limited. Certainly, there are things you can try to tell people, theories for why it's better to live than to die. Albert Camus has a nice argument for why we shouldn't kill ourselves; the choice to live is the only way to rebel against the absurdity of our human condition. It's not a helpful argument, exactly, but it's nice. There's always the guilt argument; suicide is a selfish act because it forces other people to feel guilty about stopping you. But as psychiatrist Scott Alexander points out, this amounts to telling the suicidal person that "If you think you're a burden upon others while you're alive, just think how much more of a burden you will be on them if you kill yourself." Perhaps one can shame someone into living, but it's certainly not optimal (besides, the suicidal have a difficult time believing they will be missed… that's half the problem to begin with).
The only real way to eliminate American suicide may be to eliminate the viciousness of American capitalism. If people weren't kept chasing an impossible dream, and were given basic economic security, perhaps they could find the peace and resolve necessary to keep going. At the moment, millions of people face nothing but unendurable bleakness; a less brutally competitive economy means a less brutally unendurable life.
But the first step to addressing a problem is recognizing that we have a problem to begin with. Until America treats every suicide victim as a person, one toward whom we have a responsibility of care, 40,000 people will continue to pop off into the darkness with each passing year. The country must decide whether it cares enough to act, or whether the aesthetic value of our shimmering bridges outweighs the cost of installing a net.

So, in this Blog Post, I am going to describe 10 Easy Steps to create Particles Text Effect Motion Graphics in PowerPoint 2016. Let me first give the credit to Morocco Tutorials, a Youtube Channel, as the background Particles Text Effect video has been created by him using After Effects. When I first saw the preview, I thought, why not try to create this effect in Microsoft PowerPoint. First, have a look at the animation.
As you can see, in the first few frames, Particles are moving off the screen and when they reaches in the middle of the screen, text starts appearing with one letter in a time, which creates an illusion as if the particles are dropping one character behind. Moreover, in this post, I am going to tell you about the basic concept used in this presentation and I think that is the most important part of learning. Instead of, just following the step by step instructions.
The concept behind this animation is totally simple. What you only need to know is, how to do this? Before, I start telling you about the steps used to create this animation, make sure to check the version of PowerPoint installed on your system. This effect is hardly impossible to create in PowerPoint 2007 and earlier versions because they don't have Merge / Combine Shapes Tool.
If you have PowerPoint 2010, then you need to read this article that How to enable Merge / Combine Shapes in PowerPoint 2010. This effect can easily be done in PowerPoint 2013 / 2016. But, before I begin, let me make it very clear to you that the steps which I am going to describe below will only guide you about the concept of the animation, not where to click. You can watch the embedded video below for each step with more detail information.
Step 2 : Then, we type our Text using WordArt from the Insert menu. After formatting the text, make sure to Align the text in the Center and Middle of the slide using Align options from the Format menu.
Step 3 : We need to combine the Rectangle with our text using Combine / Merge Shape Tools. For that, select the Rectangle first, hold down the SHIFT key and then select the WordArt Text Box. From the Home tab, open the Merge Shapes drop down button and then click on Combine.
As you can notice in the above picture that PowerPoint wiped out the text within from the Rectangle and the slide background is clearly visible. That is what the combine command does. It actually combines the letter in to the text box and remove them from the slide and the letters get printed on to the Rectangle.
Step 4 : Create a duplicate of the entire text (in my case that's "The Teacher") but this time you need to have each letter in a separate Text Box. I mean, you have to type each letter separately using WordArt. All the letters like "T" "h" "e" should have their own corresponding text boxes and for that you have to type each letter individually or you can take the help of Copy / Paste command by typing a letter then making a duplicate (after selecting a Text Box, you can also press CTRL+D to create a duplicate), and then replacing the characters. You can watch the video to know how I did that. I am using Smart Cut n Paste command (hold down the CTRL key while dragging and dropping text boxes) to quickly create duplicates and that is what I'm doing in the video.
BTW, you can also take the help of Selection Pane (from the Home / Format Tab) to easily manage objects on slide. Like, you can select, hide, rename and move objects, right from the Selection Pane. If you are a beginner to PowerPoint, then I must say that you should watch my Work With Multiple Objects using Selection Pane for more information.
Step 5: Now, select all the letters / text boxes (either select the first letter, hold down the SHIFT key and then start selecting the other boxes or use Selection Pane. In Selection Pane, select the first Letter, hold down the Shift key and then click on the last one. That's easy you know!). After selecting all the letters, go to the Animations tab, hit the Add Animations drop down button and then apply Fade Out from the Exit effect list and for the Start option, set all of them to Start – With Previous and add a Delay of 1 Second. That will apply the Exit Fade Out effect to all the letters / text boxes at once, hiding all of the letters at once in the slideshow. But, we want each letter to fade out with a little delay.
Step 6 : Insert the Particles Behind Text video. We want a lot of particles to appear behind the combined shape (The Teacher), so we will Trim the video to about 1.5 seconds from the beginning from the Playback menu, to have a lot of particles on the screen. From the Playback menu, set the video to Start – Automatically and also from the Animation pane, set it to Start - With Previous and move the video on the top of the animation list by dragging and dropping. Select the video and send it behind the other objects using Send To Back command from the Format menu.
So, when you will see the slide show after applying the Step No. 6, all the letters will get disappear at once and you will see Particles running behind the combined rectangle and will create an illusion as all the letters are filled with the Particles.
Step 7 : From the Playback menu, make sure to check "Loop Until Stopped" option, so the particles continuous to scroll behind until end of the animation.
Step 8 : Now, insert the Particles in Front of the Text video. Set it Play Automatically from the Playback menu and also set Start – With Previous from the Animation tab and move the video on top of the Animation list. As this video will remain on top of all the other objects on the slide, so when you will see the Slideshow, it will hide all the other objects behind it. Even the video is transparent but video transparency is not available in PowerPoint. So, what we are going to do now is to apply the Transparency Emphasis Effect to the Particles video on top.
Step 9 : Move the Transparency effect to number 2 in the animation list. Just below the Particles in Front of Text video. So that when you see the Slide Show, Particles in Front of Text video will play and at the same time the Transparency effect will start working and you will start seeing the objects behind the Particles video.
Step 10 : The final step is to add a delay between all the Fade Out effect for letters, so they must not appear all at once. Instead, each letter should appear with a little delay as the Particles are leaving behind their trail in form of letters and for that you need to add a delay between each Fade Out exit effect.
You can go with 0.25 Seconds delay between each letter or you can set your own timings depending on letters you want to appear on the screen at exact time. Finally, Insert the Background Audio and impress your Teacher / Friends with your impressive PowerPoint Presentation. BTW, you can also use this presentation as your Youtube Intro.
You can watch our Particles Text Effect in PowerPoint 2016 video for more detailed information.

Orió (en grec antic: Ὠρίων ó Ωαρίων) era un gegant de la mitologia grega.

Les fonts clàssiques recullen diverses versions diferents sobre ell. Hi ha dues versions principals sobre el seu naixement i d'altres quant a la mort. Els episodis més importants de la seva vida són el seu naixement a Beòcia, la visita que va fer a l'illa de Quios on trobà Mèrope i fou cegat pel seu pare Enopió, la recuperació de la vista a l'illa de Lemnos, la cacera amb Àrtemis a Creta i la seva mort per una fletxa llançada per Àrtemis o per un escorpí gegant i la seva elevació als cels per Àrtemis, o per Zeus: la constel·lació d'Orió.

A la literatura grega apareix com un gran caçador a L'Odissea, d'Homer, on Odisseu veu la seva ombra a l'inframón. La llegenda bàsica d'Orió és narrada per recopilacions de mites hel·lenístics i romans, però no hi ha una versió literària de les seves aventures comparable, per exemple, a la de Jàson a les Argonàutiques d'Apol·loni de Rodes o la Medea d'Eurípides. Al poema Fastos, d'Ovidi, al mes de maig, se cita el naixement d'Orió. Els fragments llegendaris supervivents han proporcionat un camp adobat per a la imaginació sobre la prehistòria i mitologia gregues.

Orió ha jugat diversos papers en la cultura de l'antiga Grècia. La història de les aventures d'Orió el caçador és una de les quals han quedat més proves: és la personificació de la constel·lació homònima, fou venerat com a heroi, en el sentit grec, a la regió de Beòcia, i hi ha un passatge etiològic que diu que Orió fou el responsable de l'aspecte actual dels estrets de Sicília.

Literatura

Homer i Hesíode
Orió és mencionat en les més antigues obres supervivents de la literatura grega, que daten dels segles VII i VIII aC. A la Ilíada d'Homer, Orió hi és descrit com una constel·lació, i l'estel Sírius com el seu gos. A L'Odissea, Odisseu el veu caçant a l'inframón amb un bastó de bronze. També es menciona com una constel·lació, com l'amant d'Eos, la deessa de l'alba, assassinat per Àrtemis i fins i tot com el més formós dels mortals. A Els treballs i els dies, d'Hesíode, Orió és també una constel·lació els moviments de la qual són emprats per datar les feines agrícoles.

La llegenda d'Orió fou íntegrament narrada en una obra perduda d'Hesíode, probablement l'Astronomia. Aquesta versió és coneguda a través de l'obra sobre constel·lacions d'un autor hel·lenístic, qui donà un llarg resum sobre l'escrit d'Hesíode sobre Orió.

D'acord amb aquesta versió, Orió era el fill de Posidó i Euríale, filla de Minos, rei de Creta. Orió tenia el don de caminar sobre les aigües, concedit per son pare, Posidó. Tenia una bellesa i una força prodigioses. Es va casar amb Side, tan bella i tant orgullosa de la seva figura, que va voler competir amb Hera, cosa que va fer que la deessa decidís precipitar-la al Tàrtar. Privat de la seva dona, anà fins a l'illa de Quios, potser cridat per Enopió, que li va demanar que el deslliurés de les feres que infestaven l'illa. Allà s'emborratxà i atacà Mèrope, la filla d'Enopió. Com a venjança, Enopió cegà Orió mentre dormia a la vora del mar i el n'expulsà. Es dirigí a Lemnos, on Hefest tenia sa forja. El déu digué a Cedalió que el guiés a l'extrem orient, on Hèlios el curaria. Orió portà a les espatlles Cedalió mentre el guiava. Tornà a Quios per castigar Enopió, però ell s'havia amagat sota terra, en una cambra subterrània construïda per Hefest, i escapà de la ira del gegant. Més endavant, Orió passà a Creta, on caçà amb Àrtemis i la seva mare Leto. Durant el curs de la cacera, es jactà que podia matar tots els animals i bèsties de la Terra. Gea s'alarmà i envià un escorpí gegantí per matar-lo. L'escorpí aconseguí fer-lo caure i després de matar-lo les deesses sol·licitaren a Zeus que el posés entre les constel·lacions dels cels. Zeus va complaure la demanda i en memòria de la mort de l'heroi afegí també als cels la constel·lació d'Escorpió.

Altres fonts
Tot i que Orió protagonitza uns quants versos en ambdós poemes homèrics i en Els treballs i els dies, la majoria de les històries sobre ell apareixen en al·lusions fortuïtes i dins escrits força obscurs i més tardans. Cap poeta gran va estandarditzar la llegenda.
 Les fonts antigues de la llegenda d'Orió són majoritàriament notes en els marges de poetes antics (escolis) o recopilacions fetes per erudits més tardans, que són l'equivalent de les obres de referència modernes o les enciclopèdies. Tant és així que la llegenda que apareix a Astronomia d'Hesíode sobreviu només dins d'una d'aquestes recopilacions. En diversos casos, incloent-hi el resum de l'Astronomia, tot i que les obres supervivents porten el nom d'erudits famosos, com ara Apol·lodor el Gramàtic, Eratòstenes, o Gai Juli Higí, allò que sobreviu és o bé una antiga falsificació o una abreviació de la recopilació original per un escriptor més tardà de dubtosa competència; els editors d'aquests textos suggereixen que poden haver-hi posat els noms de grans erudits perquè eren abreviacions, o fins i tot notes d'alumnes, basats en les obres dels erudits.

Al marge de la còpia de la Ilíada de l'Emperadriu Eudòxia, hi ha una nota ressenyant un poeta hel·lenístic que conta una història diferent del naixement d'Orió. Aquí els déus Zeus, Hermes, i Posidó visiten Hirieu de Tanagra, qui rosteix un brau sencer per a ells. Quan li ofereixen un favor, demana tindre fills. Els déus agafen la pell del brau, orinen en ella i l'enterren, llavors li diuen que ho desenterri deu mesos més tard. Quan Hirieu ho fa, troba Orió; açò explica per què Orió és nascut de la terra.

Una segona versió sencera (fins i tot més curta que el resum d'Hesíode) es troba en una col·lecció de mites d'era romana; el conte d'Orió està basat en gran part en l'obra del mitòleg i poeta Ferècides d'Atenes. Aquí Orió és descrit com nascut de la terra i enorme en estatura. Aquesta versió també esmenta Posidó i Euríale com els seus pares. Afegeix un primer matrimoni amb Side abans del seu matrimoni amb Merope. Tot el que es diu sobre Side és que Hera la va llançar a l'Hades per haver rivalitzat amb ella en bellesa. També dóna una versió diferent de la mort d'Orió que la que hi ha en la Ilíada: Eos, l'aurora, va enamorar-se d'Orió i el va portar a Delos, on Artemis el va matar.

Una altra narració sobre les constel·lacions, de tres paràgrafs de llarg, ve d'un escriptor llatí les notes breus del qual han arribat a nosaltres sota el nom d'Higí. Comença amb la història del naixement d'Orió d'una pell de boví, que aquesta font adscriu a Cal·límac i Aristòmac, i la ubica a Tebes o Chios. Higí té dues versions. Dins d'una d'elles omet Posidó; un crític modern suggereix que aquesta és la versió original.

La mateixa font conté dos relats diferents de la mort d'Orió. El primer diu que a causa que "la vida va unir-lo en una tan gran amistat" amb Enopió, va presumir davant Àrtemis i Leto que podia matar qualsevol cosa que vingués de la Terra. Gaia (La personificació de la Terra en la mitologia grega) objectà creant l'Escorpí. En la segona història, Apol·lo, que estava gelós de l'amor d'Orió per Àrtemis, ordenà a aquesta que el matés. Veient Orió nadant en l'oceà, molt endins, Apol·lo va comentar a Àrtemis que possiblement no podria encertar aquella cosa negra que hi havia en l'aigua. Sentint-se desafiada, ella envià una fletxa precisa que va matar Orió; quan el seu cos arribà a la costa, va plorar copiosament, i decidí donar a Orió un lloc entre les estrelles. Connectà Orió amb diverses constel·lacions, no només amb Escorpió. Orió va empaitar Plèione, la mare de les Plèiades, per set anys, fins que Zeus intervingué i els pujà a tot ells a les estrelles. En Els treballs i els dies, Orió empaitava les mateixes Plèiades. Ca Menor i Ca Major són els seus gossos, el de davant s'anomena Proció. Persegueixen Lepus, la llebre, tot i que Higí diu que alguns crítics pensaren que aquesta era una presa massa baixa per al noble Orió i el posaren empaitant Taure, el brau, en comptes d'això. Un mitògraf del Renaixement, Natalis Comes, afegeix altres noms als gossos d'Orió: Leucomelaena, Mera, Dromis, Cisseta, Lampuris, Lycoctonus, Ptoophagus, Arctophonus.

It took me a hard distance to finish some materials from my newest creation. So for this day, I have DONE editing from him.
A big UPDATE: I am completely done adding any improvements and pizzazz from him, recently. So that means is about 100% done for now.
Though he will be another decent-looking Cartoon Network character ever made, after Powerpuff Girls, Gumball and Chowder being out. If you tested him, please send a positive feedback after you see any problems from him.
I have to admit, this one looks pretty cool, I've just got hit by the nostalgia train by the way.
-Medium Punch is State 220 (typically strong punch), and Strong Punch is State 210 (typically Medium Punch)???
-There is no jumping light punch. I think it would be OK to just duplicate the jumping light kick as a placeholder for now.
-The whistle sound effect should play sooner (plays when using weapons that fly away). It has a delay that doesn't look/sound right.
-The rolling pin attack makes the enemy fall forwards instead of backwards, which doesn't look correct.
-I don't think the lifebars should be hidden when he does the Screaming super move, I would like to see the opponent's life draining away.
From the fact the readme states that new specials and hypers will be added in the full version, I think 60% complete would be a more accurate gauge.
Yeah, same here! It's still one of the best Cartoon Cartoons of the early 2000's, alongside Ed, Edd n' Eddy!
Thanks for your feedback, guys! I just want to let you that I've updated Courage. Thanks to jenngra505 with the encouragement.
Go and see at the topic that I've added!
Changed Guardspark to one that makes more sense on most screenpacks.
I am glad anyone is thankfully patient until I 100% completed with Courage for now! On top of that, look at the topic!
his scream hyper only costs one power, does about 450 damage on hit and 700 damage on block. WTF?
The beta RMaster collaborated with you on was less buggy and more properly balanced than this.
True. I'm fixing up some of the issues now.
I also noticed that Courage has sprites and animations for crawling, but he can't crawl in-game.
is good make updates...I do when I want more stuff (some requested..) or correct things as bugs..glitches... infinites but when you use a fucked up template as that EO all things go wrong...is not your fault..I seen other creations used that template and had the same problems as infinites and large file....or the abuse of strikers....use the kung fu man as base! you can have a simple char at start but solid and not plagued with wrong crap as that template..

We are late to this party that have thrown a lot of raves for Project Pie.
Launched a few years ago, Project Pie promised that it would bring in the idea that it can customize your pizza toppings to your heart's content. With toppings giving you so much permutations on your pizza, how can it go wrong?
Sounds like a good plan for a light dinner for four in the family!
And this is when we begin to regret not having gone to a branch sooner.
This joint makes good pizza with no pretensions.
In a pizza, the crust is king as it brings the whole ensemble together. They got those thin crusts well down pat, cooking it in an oven that ensures a good surface char yet maintaining the bite and texture.
A classic pepperoni pizza was jazzed up with fresh tomatoes and jalapeno for a nice kick. What a way to start the evening.
And then a chicken pizza drizzled with barbecue sauce and cilantro. This one went well with a cold beer, or their refillable peach iced tea. What is evident here is that while you specify the kinds of toppings you want in the pizza, the people making it know the ingredients well that they can balance the flavors out by placing the right portions.
This became evident when the evening and dinner was going so well, the group could not help but order out of the Awesome Foursome promotion for an interesting pizza that had sausage, pepperoni with broccoli, practically like placing a Chinese stir-fry dish into an Italian pizza filled with mozzarella cheese mushrooms, and bell pepper. Who knew it can go so well?
It made so much sense. Banana and Nutella do go well together, and all the more when it was sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon, perfectly heated just to bring out the aroma of cinnamon, but keeping the banana from withering and the Nutella from melting. It's difficult to explain it in many words. The best way to feel its love is to visit a Project Pie branch.
Which is what we may be doing more frequently now.

Visiting San Francisco in the last decade or two, it's easy to forget things (that don't involve typing in an office) got done. Huge ships unloaded cargo. Traincars were loaded and unloaded. People made physical stuff, not code. Not to say there's anything wrong with coding per se. But the Internet Economy, the one that promised to "make place obsolete" has made huge changes to how some cities work, especially San Francisco, the Peninsula and South Bay by pricing out long existing businesses.
There are a few corners where you can still see the remnants of times long gone. Just out of range of the smell of a $31 Kasmiri Chili Braised Lamb-shank you can get a dusty glimpse of the buildings and streets that fueled previous booms. There's a stretch leading to the Port of San Francisco right around the bustling Third Street Corridor. Check out a few pics below.
Preface: The whole family (my wife, daughter and I) have just returned from a three week journey from the far West of Europe to the far East and dipping our toes in the sands of the far Western corner of Asia. We started in Lisbon, Portugal made our way to Athens with a brief stopover in Geneva Switzerland along the way. Then we took an overnight ship from Piraeus (Athens' port city) to Chios City in the North Aegean region. After a few days of a beach vacation in Chios we took the short ferry ride to Çeşme, a resort town in Turkey. After a few days we moved on to Izmir, Turkey's third largest city after Istanbul and Ankara.
I'm breaking up these posts into bite sized snippets. Hopefully that way I'll be able to post most of the photos and descriptions promptly. Editing and keywording thousands of photos is a daunting task. In the past I've never really managed to finish in time to share. We'll see, but here, in no particular order, is my first installment.
Now on to this story: I'd been lugging around a tripod the whole trip, I might as well use it. So here are few photos taken in Izmir at night. This trip was a family trip after all, and I tried my best to behave. But there were a few times where I had a hard time not stopping to take a few longish exposures. Here are a few.

Q: Building dynamic SQL command - Incorrect syntax error I want to build a SQL command dynamically by checking if a parameter is null. If it is not null, it will be added to the command string. The stored procedure can be compiled, but at running time I get an invalid syntax error. Here is the code I've written so far:
CREATE PROCEDURE searchEvents @name VARCHAR(50), @location VARCHAR(20), @postcode CHAR(4), @address VARCHAR(40), @startDate DATETIME, @endDate DATETIME
AS
DECLARE
@sqlCommand NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'SELECT Event.Name, Description, Location.Name AS Location, Postcode, Address, StartDate, EndDate, Website FROM Event JOIN Location ON Event.LocationID = Location.LocationID',
@parameters NVARCHAR(MAX),
@whereIncluded BIT = 0
BEGIN
IF @name IS NOT NULL
    BEGIN
        IF @whereIncluded = 0
        BEGIN
            SET @sqlCommand = @sqlCommand + ' WHERE '
            SET @whereIncluded = 1
        END
        ELSE
            SET @sqlCommand = @sqlCommand + ' AND '

        SET @sqlCommand = @sqlCommand + 'Event.Name LIKE ' + '%' + @name + '%'
    END

-- It's the same if clause for all parameters like above

SET @parameters = N'@p_name VARCHAR(50), @p_location VARCHAR(20), @p_postcode CHAR(4), @p_address VARCHAR(40), @p_startDate DATETIME, @p_endDate DATETIME'

EXEC sp_executesql
@sqlCommand,
@parameters,
@p_name = @name,
@p_location = @location,
@p_postcode = @postcode,
@p_address = @address,
@p_startDate = @startDate,
@p_endDate = @endDate
END

The query I execute:
EXEC searchEvents 'Wine fair', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL

The error I get:
Incorrect syntax near "Wine fair".

A: Add a PRINT statement for debugging and the reason for the error will be clear:
WHERE Event.Name LIKE %Wine fair%

As you can see, the single-quotes around the intended literal are missing.
Note that this code is vulnerable to SQL injection. If you only add the missing quotes and use string concatenation, malicious SQL can be injected. Instead, specify the parameter value directly in the generated SQL statement rather than a string literal. The example below also escapes LIKE wildcards so that the desired results are returned even if the user-supplied value contains them.
SET @name = REPLACE(@name,'%', '[%]'); --escape % wildcard
SET @name = REPLACE(@name,'_', '[_]'); --escape _ wildcard
SET @name = REPLACE(@name,'[', '[[]'); --escape [ wildcard
SET @name = '%' + @name + '%' --add desired wildcards
SET @sqlCommand = @sqlCommand + 'Event.Name LIKE @name'; --use parameter directly in SQL statement

Also make sure the application runs under a minimally-privileged account. For maximum security, use sign the stored procedure with a certificate associated with a user with the needed SELECT permissions. That way, the app only needs execute permissions on the proc.

A: You missed quotes
 SET @sqlCommand = @sqlCommand + 'Event.Name LIKE ' + '''%' + @name + '%'''

UPD:
To avoid SQL injection:
SET @sqlCommand = @sqlCommand + 'Event.Name LIKE ''%'' + @p_name + ''%'''

Ford Cars To Get Rid Of Steering Wheel And Pedals By 2021
Ford has an ambitious dream and if all goes as planned, the automobile manufacturer will be producing cars without steering wheels and pedals by 2021.
Self-driving or autonomous driving is what most manufacturers are aiming to achieve at the moment. It isn't as easy as it sounds though because Tesla the electric car maker who ushered in autonomous mode is already being bombarded with complaints. A couple of accidents in recent times were blamed on the car's inefficiency. With time, we expect new security measures and regulations to be in place to protect both the passenger and the companies who make them.
Ford is going to take some time before rolling out the feature. The company's top executives believe that by 2021 they will be able to deliver on their promise. The idea is to introduce ride sharing services using electric, autonomous cars. It will reduce the number of vehicles on road and give passengers a comfortable environment where they can simply relax until they reach their destination.
"Our idea is to bring the autonomous technology to the masses. Providing it to the luxury segment could be a much easier proposition but by making it on a massive scale, we can contribute our share to improve safety and to solve environmental challenges. Instead of trying to make an expensive model that only the rich could afford, we are aiming to create self-driving cars for hire. It is cost efficient and will soon lead to individual cars being equipped with the technology," said CEO Mark Fields.
The new self-driving car is scheduled to be built in the Palo Alto facility. Ford has partnered with some of the prominent tech companies in the world. They will play a significant role in supplying the automobile manufacturer with advanced technologies like 3D sensor, LiDAR, radar and camera sensors. Making a perfect autonomous vehicle requires a lot of investment and time spent in research. Ford is about to take a big leap and it might lead every other auto company into the future we dream of.
According to Ford, the company's cars will achieve a rating of 4. The maximum rating provided by the society of automotive engineers is 5. Google has already been researching cars without pedals and steering wheels. Buyers may have multiple models which supports self-driving by the year 2020. The time when you could sit back and relax while the car takes you around is almost here.

DOVER – DNREC's Mosquito Control Section within the Division of Fish & Wildlife will begin its annual spring woodland pool spraying campaign Saturday, March 17 on wooded wetlands near select populated areas in southern Sussex county, to treat mosquitoes' immature aquatic larval stages. Treatment will be expanded statewide into Kent and New Castle counties during the upcoming weeks. In most years, a total of about 10,000 forested acres that produce large numbers of early-season mosquitoes are strategically sprayed, using larvicides applied by helicopter.
Over the next several weeks, Mosquito Control will apply a bacterially-derived insecticide, Bti. "Like all registered insecticides used by Delaware Mosquito Control, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has determined that Bti, when used in accordance with EPA-approved product label instructions as required by federal law, can be applied without posing unreasonable risks to human health, wildlife or the environment," Dr. Meredith said.
Aerial spraying of woodland pools must be completed before the forest canopy fills in, usually around mid-April, because foliage prevents the insecticide from reaching woodland pools and other wet spots on the forest floor harboring mosquito larvae. "If larval stages of early-season woodland pool mosquitoes are not successfully controlled, an intolerable number of biting adult mosquitoes could take wing in late April and remain through mid-June, becoming particularly troublesome within one to two miles of their woodland pool origins, and significantly affect quality of life and human health for residents and visitors alike," said Dr. Meredith.
The spring campaign marks the beginning of Delaware's annual mosquito season, which in most years continues until mid-October or early November, depending upon when the first killing freeze occurs. Control activities will be expanded starting in late April to contend with saltmarsh mosquitoes, myriad types of other freshwater mosquitoes, and urban and suburban container-breeding mosquitoes. Following the early spring larviciding campaign, Mosquito Control's focus will turn to controlling adult mosquito populations and reducing bites from woodland pool mosquitoes that still emerge. Residents are also strongly encouraged to help reduce mosquito-producing habitat by doing some outdoor "spring cleaning," and preventing or eliminating standing water sources throughout the season.
"Now is not too early for the public to take action to reduce backyard mosquito-producing habitats for species such as the Asian tiger mosquito that are known to carry illnesses such as West Nile virus and chikungunya as well as possibly Zika," Dr. Meredith said, noting that this includes cleaning clogged rain gutters and downspout extenders, keeping fresh water in birdbaths, draining abandoned swimming pools, and preventing or emptying standing water from containers such as scrap tires, cans, buckets, flower pot saucers, unused water cisterns, children's toys, upright wheelbarrows, uncovered trash cans, and depressions in tarps covering boats or other objects stored outside.
The public can learn about locations and times of spraying for adult mosquitoes via daily radio announcements, or by calling 800-338-8181 toll-free. Interested parties also may subscribe to receive email, text, or phone message spray announcements for their area by signing up on Mosquito Control's Spray Zone Notification System at de.gov/mosquitospray.

Feelings on Faces (King's and Mine)
Throughout my journeys with commissioning character portraits, a failure of mine has been put out into the open: my failure to really 'see' some of my characters faces (the Humanoid ones especially). This is a weakness of my visualization and my mind's eye. I know it and accept it, but it's also relatively well hidden. This weakness is hidden well because the original main characters don't have 'normal' faces. Cyclone's head is a skull that is underneath a striking helmet....

How to Stop Wildfire FIFTH Anniversary
Has it really been five years? It really has been. I can't fathom it and yet at the same time, now, at the near end of this major arc with Emerald Haze, the years seem far too apt.

And now I'm currently all caught up with forewords/afterwords. Here's the foreword/preface for Expansion Expression, which sort of kicks off the vibe for the novel and the series moving forward. It's definitely lighter than the other ones. As always, I enjoyed writing and recording it.

I've been radio silent lately on most things related to fiction writing. I've been the occasional review on food and whatever movie and TV show I happened to have words about, but as far as fiction goes, I've been dead.

A Collective Investment Scheme (i.e. a mutual fund) is an investment vehicle comprising a pool of funds collected from many investors for the purpose of investing in securities such as stocks, bonds, commodities, money market instruments, securities, treasury bills and other capital markets instruments. A Collective Investment Scheme is established under Non-Banking Finance Companies and Notified Entities Regulations, 2008 by way of a trust deed that offers for sale of its units and entitles the investor on demand to receive his proportionate share of the net assets.
A Voluntary Pension Scheme (VPS), a retirement scheme established under VPS Rules, 2005 by way of a trust deed, is a pool of investment owned by investors and managed by a licensed Pension Fund Manager. Pension Fund provides a regular source of income to maintain the living standard, health and other post retirement expenses. A Pension Fund can help Participants to accumulate the savings to achieve the financial security they desire after retirement. A pension fund may comprise of four sub-funds i.e. Equity Sub Fund, Debt Sub Fund, Money Market Sub Fund and Commodities Sub Fund.
All assets of the Collective Investment Scheme/Voluntary Pension Scheme are held by an independent trustee whereas the Asset Management Company/Pension Fund Manager only serves as a Portfolio Manager. The Trustee performs the functions of the custodian of the assets of the Fund and ensures that the Fund Manager takes the investment decisions within the defined investment policy of the collective Investment Scheme/Voluntary Pension Scheme. Under Pakistan law, banks and central depository companies, approved by the SECP, can act as trustee to Collective Investment Schemes/Voluntary Pension Scheme.
At present Central Depository Company (CDC) is acting as Trustee of most of the funds of the industry. The Securities & Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) is the regulator of mutual funds industry and is very stringent in issuing licenses to fund management companies, especially in the case of Collective Investment Scheme (CIS). The SECP also carries out continuous monitoring of mutual funds. Mutual Funds are required to file periodic reports with the SECP whereas SECP also conducts on-site inspections of the AMCs on regular basis.

This document is a link between the prospective investors and the Fund (Management Company & Trustee) and is governed by the Trust Deed. The Management Company prepares this document, which is reviewed by the Trustee and approved by the SECP.
All the activities performed by the AMC on behalf of the Fund and executed by the Trustee/Custodian are governed by the NBFC Rules & Regulations, Directives, Circulars and Notifications issued by SECP.
