BE WARNED! Car thieves on the loose, targeting specific car brands.
Some of the popular car models in Kenya.
Every day, Kenyans wake up to the news of a stolen car, either from a parking bay, a hotel or the driver being physically robbed by carjackers.
If we can base our analysis of these reports, we can authoritatively say that these car thieves do not just steal any car but there is a trend that shows that certain brands of vehicles are a target due to their high demand in the Kenyan market.
For instance, your vehicle is most likely to be stolen if it is white, a Toyota or a station wagon. Vehicles whose value is below Sh. 1 million are also likely to fall prey to theft more frequently than those priced above Sh. 1 million.
A survey by the Association of Kenya Insurers (AKI) revealed that out of the 406 cars reported stolen to the insurers, 71% were a make of the Toyota brand, while 51% were white in colour. Silver, black, blue and grey vehicles, in that order, also made it to the list of cars frequently stolen.
Green, red, gold, pearl, purple, orange and maroon vehicles are the least targeted.
White cars fall an easy prey since they make the majority in Kenya, making them hard to trace in case of reported loss. White cars are preferred by many due to their relatively lower prices, ease of repainting and their slow interior heating under hot weather conditions.
The Toyota model is also exposed due to the easy sale of its spare parts and given that many models share the parts.
Car hire.
Most of the vehicles targeted are 'self-drive' car hire vehicles which are reported missing only three or four days after they have been taken. By then, the vehicle may either have been smuggled into a neighbouring country or cannibalised.
Car thieves are now using fake national identification cards to hire the vehicles. As a precaution, most car hire firms install GPS tracking devices to monitor the movement of their vehicles wherever they are. Some are now asking their clients to leave their fingerprints when they want to hire a self-driven vehicle.
Taxi drivers are another soft targets for these car thieves. They pose as clients and later hold drivers of hired vehicles hostage, drug them or tie them up before driving off with the vehicles.
Early this month, a taxi driver in Ruiru town was hired by two middle-aged women to ferry them to Gatong'ora area to 'inspect the progress of their house that was still under construction'.
Upon reaching the site, the four other men emerged from the incomplete building and carjacked the victim. As they were driving him away in his Toyota Fielder registration KCA….., the women attempted to strangle him from behind but after a while he was able to free himself and jump out of the speeding car.
Fortunately for him, two of the car tires burst due to the rough road and attempts for the thieves to escape with the car were thwarted.
However, the men managed to escape and the women accosted by the members of public. They were arrested and taken to court and are currently out on a sh. 2million bond awaiting hearing on 30th October 2017.
There was this other vehicle, a Toyota Corolla AE110 taxi that was hired by two men who wanted to be driven to Nairobi's posh Runda estate at about 9pm. The two men turned out to be carjackers and injected the driver with a knock-out drug before driving to Limuru forest, where he was tied to a tree and abandoned.
When he regained consciousness at about 3am, he informed Track It, who traced the vehicle to the Cheptiret area in Eldoret, where the vehicle was found parked.
Another taxi driver was also tied up in Runda by two car thieves who hired him the same night from the National Social Security Fund offices in Upper Hill area. The vehicle was recovered on Nairobi's Juja Road.
Other than taxis, car thieves are targeting personal car owners at popular car parks, malls and hotels. They will track their victim, understand their schedule then they will wait for a day when the victim parks the car for a long time, steal it and drive as fast as possible to the neighbouring counties.
Sophisticated thieves.
Most victims of stolen motor vehicles will spend two hours running around looking for who can help them. By the time they inform the police, record the statement and other bureaucracies to send a general request to intercept the stolen car, the criminals have already driven away to their hideouts.
Car thieves have become technically sophisticated and usually work as a team to pull off the heist. It is also believed that some members of this car syndicate are based in Mombasa from where they trail the cars as they are being driven to upcountry then communicate its details to their accomplishes based elsewhere across the country.
Armed with the registration number and number of passengers on board, the thieves then wait for the car and may cause an 'accident' just to make the driver stop and come out of the vehicle to assess the damage. And with that, you are trapped.
Others will pretend to be potential buyers or brokers, ask you to keep the car for them and promising to come and collect it, say after one or two days. Having gotten all the details of the vehicle and probably about you, they strike when you least expect it and POOF! Your car is gone.
Re-branding and formalising.
When a car is stolen, it is taken to the garage, repainted with a different colour and the engine and chassis number altered before giving it a different number plate. It is usually very difficult to detect a stolen car because by the time they put it on the road, they have formalised everything. The car will appear to be in the rightful names of the owner
Given the fact that car thieves study their victims for a very long time, when the thieves get to know that their victims have put in all their efforts and resources to recover their vehicles, they will never put the car back on the road.
Some of these car thieves genuinely buy wreckages of vehicles that that have been involved in accidents and acquired number plates and documentation of the wreckage. They then change ownership of the car officially and even pay taxes.
After that, they will track a vehicle of the same make with that of the wreckage and steal it. The stolen car is taken to the garage where they erase the original chassis and engine numbers, which they then replace with those of the wreckage they bought. They also spray it with a new colour and give it a number plate of the wreckage. It will look so different from the one the owner knows.
After officialising the documents, they sell it to another person who will never know that it was stolen. The owner will also never identify it on the road. Police will also fail to detect it unless a major check is done
Biggest market.
Otherwise, the biggest market for stolen cars is in the spare parts shops in local garages and in neighbouring countries. Once stolen, the vehicle will be dismantled and parts sold to spare parts shops.
Most of these parts will be sent to places where it is unlikely that the owner of the vehicle will never travel or operate. For instance, if the vehicle is stolen in Thika, the spare parts will be sold in Kakamega or in remote garages in Nairobi. Some of the dismantled vehicles are taken to neighbouring countries in form of spare parts.
Most vehicles that targeted for spare parts are old models because their spare parts on the market are rare which makes them high on demand and expensive thus profitable for the thieves.
Once a stolen vehicle cross the border, there is little chance for recovery unless it is intercepted within 24 hours. This is because the vehicles are stripped and checked for any tracking device before they are sold to prospective buyers
The car thieves hire trained 'experts' who, according to research, are paid one-third of the value of the vehicle to find and disable the tracking device before it is disposed of. If the 'experts' find a tracking device on a vehicle, the dismantling charges are passed on to the buyer.
So, it's good you are alert if you have that kind of vehicle that is a hot commodity for thieves out there. As much as possible, make sure that your car is less enticing to steal, install an alarm, use a lock device on the steering wheel, park in well-lit or busy areas and always lock your car.

Moderna coronavirus vaccine 94.5% effective in second breakthrough
Monday, 16 November 2020 3:26 PM [ Last Update: Monday, 16 November 2020 6:39 PM ]

US biotech firm Moderna has announced its experimental vaccine against COVID-19 was 94.5 percent effective, marking a second major breakthrough in the vaccine hunt.
Together with Pfizer Inc's vaccine, which is also more than 90% effective, and pending more safety data and regulatory review, the United States could have two vaccines authorized for emergency use in December with as many as 60 million doses of vaccine available this year.
"This positive interim analysis from our Phase 3 study has given us the first clinical validation that our vaccine can prevent COVID-19 disease, including severe disease," said Stephane Bancel, Moderna's CEO.
Next year, the US government could have access to more than 1 billion doses just from the two vaccine makers, more than needed for the country's 330 million residents.
The vaccines, both developed with new technology known as messenger RNA (mRNA), represent powerful tools to fight a pandemic that has infected 54 million people worldwide and killed 1.3 million. The news also comes at a time when COVID-19 cases are soaring, hitting new records in the United States and pushing some European countries back into lockdowns.
"We are going to have a vaccine that can stop COVID-19," Moderna President Stephen Hoge said in a telephone interview.
The Moderna vaccine, which was co-developed by the US National Institutes of Health, is given in two doses 28 days apart, and the preliminary results are based on 95 volunteers of the 30,000 who fell ill with COVID-19.
Of the 95, 90 had been in the trial's placebo group, and five in the group that received the drug, called mRNA-1273.
There were 11 people who fell severely ill, all of whom were in the placebo group.
The vaccine was well tolerated, with the majority of side-effects classed as mild or moderate.
After the first dose, about three percent of people had injection site pain classed as severe.
Among side-effects classed as severe after the second dose, about 10 percent had fatigue, nine percent had muscle pain, five percent had joint pain or headaches, four percent had other pain and two percent had redness at the injection site.
These adverse events were "short lived," according to a statement.
"This news from Moderna is tremendously exciting and considerably boosts optimism that we will have a choice of good vaccines in the next few months," said Peter Openshaw, professor of experimental medicine at Imperial College London.
"This latest press release is based on a study of 30,000 US adults, including many high-risk or elderly persons. This gives us confidence that the results are relevant in the people who are most at risk of COVID-19."
Moderna expects to have enough safety data required for US authorization in the next week or so and the company expects to file for emergency use authorization (EUA) in the coming weeks.
The company's shares rose 9.1% in premarket trading and European stocks and Wall Street stock futures jumped on the vaccine update. The benchmark S&P 500 futures rose 1.3%, stopping just short of a fresh record high, while the pan-European STOXX 600 hit late-February highs.
A key advantage of Moderna's vaccine is that it does not need ultra-cold storage like Pfizer's, making it easier to distribute. Moderna expects it to be stable at normal fridge temperatures of 2 to 8 degrees Celsius (36 to 48°F) for 30 days and it can be stored for up to 6 months at -20C.
Pfizer's vaccine must be shipped and stored at -70C, the sort of temperature typical of an Antarctic winter. It can be stored for up to five days at standard refrigerator temperatures or for up to 15 days in a thermal shipping box.
Experimental COVID-19 vaccine over 90% effective: Pfizer
Pfizer Inc says its experimental COVID-19 vaccine has been more than 90% effective.
The data from Moderna's trial involving 30,000 volunteers also showed the vaccine prevented cases of severe COVID-19, a question that still remains with the Pfizer vaccine. Of the 95 cases in Moderna's trial, 11 were severe and all 11 occurred among volunteers who got the placebo.
Moderna, part of the US government's Operation Warp Speed program, expects to produce about 20 million doses for the United States this year, millions of which the company has already made and is ready to ship if it gets FDA authorization.
"Assuming we get an emergency use authorization, we'll be ready to ship through Warp Speed almost in hours," Hoge said.
"So it could start being distributed instantly."
The 95 cases of COVID-19 included several key groups who are at increased risk for severe disease, including 15 cases in adults aged 65 and older and 20 in participants from racially diverse groups.
"We will need much more data and a full report or publication to see if the benefit is consistent across all groups, notably the elderly, but this is definitely encouraging progress," said Stephen Evans, professor of pharmacoepidemiology, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.
Most side effects were mild to moderate. A significant proportion of volunteers, however, experienced more severe aches and pains after taking the second dose, including about 10% who had fatigue severe enough to interfere with daily activities while another 9% had severe body aches. Most of these complaints were generally short-lived, Moderna said.
Its data provide further validation of the promising but previously unproven mRNA platform, which turns the human body into a vaccine factory by coaxing cells to make certain virus proteins that the immune system sees as a threat and mounts a response against.
The United States has the world's highest known number of COVID-19 cases and deaths with more than 11 million infections and nearly 250,000 deaths.
The Donald Trump Administration has primarily relied on the development of vaccines and treatments as its response to the pandemic. Moderna has received nearly $1 billion in research and development funding from the US government and has a $1.5 billion deal for 100 million doses. The US government also has an option for another 400 million doses.
The company hopes to produce between 500 million and 1 billion doses in 2021, split between its US and international manufacturing sites, dependent in part on demand.
The US government has said COVID-19 vaccines will be provided free to Americans, whether they have health insurance, are uninsured or are covered by government health programs such as Medicare.
Moderna also said it would use its data to seek authorization in Europe and other regions.
Europe's health regulator said on Monday it had launched a real-time "rolling review" of Moderna's vaccine, following similar reviews of vaccines from Pfizer and AstraZeneca.

Other countries such as China and Russia have already begun vaccinations. Russia licensed its Sputnik-V COVID-19 vaccine for domestic use in August before it released data from large-scale trials. It said on Nov. 11 that its vaccine was 92% effective based on 20 infections in its large trial.
Vaccine will not be enough to stop pandemic: WHO chief
The head of the World Health Organization said Monday that a vaccine would not by itself stop the coronavirus pandemic.
The pandemic is raging months after it broke out, with infections soaring past 54 million and claiming more than 1.3 million lives.
"A vaccine will complement the other tools we have, not replace them," director general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said. "A vaccine on its own will not end the pandemic."
The WHO's figures for Saturday showed that 660,905 coronavirus cases were reported to the UN health agency, setting a new high water mark.
That number, and the 645,410 registered on Friday, surpassed the previous daily record high of 614,013 recorded on November 7.
Tedros said that supplies of the vaccine would initially be restricted, with "health workers, older people and other at-risk populations (to) be prioritized. That will hopefully reduce the number of deaths and enable the health systems to cope."
But he warned, "That will still leave the virus with a lot of room to move. Surveillance will need to continue, people will still need to be tested, isolated and cared for, contacts will still need to be traced... and individuals will still need to be cared for."

Q: Vice versa: Model generated curve fitting to real experiment results Phd student here. For my thesis I have a problem to solve. I have written an algorithm, which generates a curve for some model (alpha-hemolysin makes spores on cell membrane over time). That model uses like $20$ constants: $k_{01},\dotsc,k_{20}$. Now, what I need to do is make it the other way around: I have a curve (from real experiment data). Now need to find those constants $k_{xx}$, so that the generated curve would best fit the real experiment curve, marked by arrow between blue marks in the image below.
I will probably need to write some function which would return total difference between the generated curve and the real curve and try to minimize it by applying various $k_{xx}$ sets. Would machine learning be suitable for it? Is there any other approach? Any suggestions or hints are very welcome, as I had no experience before and this is very new to me. PS will use Orange as a tool. Thank you!

A: We can compare the behavior/tendency to a particular case of a well known  tan  hyperbolic function  of given starting slope that goes asymptotically to zero.
Like for example
$$ y= y_{max} \tanh c \cdot x $$
of starting slope
$$ y'= y_{max} \cdot  c $$
where $y_{max}$ is the  constant steady state asymptotic value  it tends to and $c$ is a constant that represents the rate at change at start.
Another example is a trigonometric tangent related function
$$ y= 1-\frac{1}{x}$$
that has such a tendency towards either axis:

Q: How to join three custom table in magento 2 I want join from Table 1 -> Table 2 has id = custom_id
Then join from Table 2 -> Table 3 has Table2.id = Table3.id
And will get table1.id if eligible
My Table

Ex : Table 1 -> Table 2
Table1.id = Table2.custom_id => choose two field

Table 2.id = Table3.id => choose one field

And get data Table 1

A: Well I don't understand your question as much, but from the title of the question I could answer you that.
You want to join 3 tables and choose 2 columns of table2, 1 column from table3
So here:
Assume the $collection is the resource model collection of the table 1.
We have
        $collection->getSelect()
            ->joinLeft(
                ['table2' => $collection->getTable('table2')],
                'main_table.id = table2.custom_id',
                [
                    'table2_id' => 'table2.id',
                    'table2_custom_id' => 'table2.custom_id'
                ]
            )
            ->joinLeft(
                ['table3' => $collection->getTable('table3')],
                'table2.id = table3.id',
                [
                    'table3_custom_field' => 'table3.custom_field'
                ]
            );

Marvel's upcoming TV shows are set to play a major part in the wider cinematic universe, so buckle up for an even more complex web of heroes.
A bunch of Marvel shows are in the works for Disney's new streaming service Disney+, including a series for Tom Hiddleston's Loki, along with Scarlet Witch, Falcon and Winter Soldier.
Marvel boss Kevin Feige has since explained how these shows will play an important role in the expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) going forward beyond Avengers: Endgame.
Speaking to Collider, Feige said: 'It's been extremely additive to the entire creative arc, not just of the Disney+ programs we're working on, but on the entire post-Endgame MCU.
Past Marvel shows, like Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the recently cancelled Netflix shows, made references to events in the Avengers films – but they never crossed paths in a direct way.
It seems this is about to change for the forthcoming shows, however, which will be created under the same Marvel Studios as the MCU, rather than the separate banner of Marvel Television.
The big question is how integral these shows will become to the Marvel movies, considering it could alienate the casual movie audience who perhaps don't want to commit to hours of television to understand any future Avengers movies.
Avengers: Endgame releases in cinemas on 25 April.

Plechový bubínek () je román z roku 1959 německého spisovatele Güntera Grasse.

Hlavní postavou rozsáhlého díla odehrávajícího se v 1. polovině 20. století je Oskar Matzerath. Román ukazuje obraz pokřiveného světa, díky Oskarovu pohledu vystupuje jasně nesmyslnost mnohého lidského jednání. Sám hlavní hrdina Oskar často reaguje na nenávist nenávistí a na zlo zlem.

Velmi důležitá je jazyková stránka díla. Kniha je bohatá na slovní hříčky, metafory, symboly. Zdánlivě důležité události – vražda, smrt, válka – jsou znázorněny jako banální všednosti a získávají tak komický nádech.

V roce 1979 román zfilmoval německý režisér Volker Schlöndorff.

Námět
Celá kniha je rozdělena na tři části. V úvodní části popisuje Oskar život svůj a své rodiny ve městě Gdaňsku do začátku druhé světové války. Druhá část se zabývá Oskarovými eskapádami během druhé světové války, včetně jeho působení v Bebrově frontovém divadle (Bebra je lilipután, Oskarův učitel a vzor). Třetí část líčí útěk Oskara s jeho nevlastní matkou Marií a bratrem Kurtem na západ do Düsseldorfu a poválečný život.

Děj
Oskar zpětně, z postele Léčebného a zaopatřovacího ústavu, vypráví celý svůj život. Začíná u své babičky Anny Koljaiczekové, vypráví příběh své maminky Anežky, věčně rozpolcené mezi dvěma muži – svým bratrancem Janem Bronskim a zákonným manželem Matzerathem – a dostává se ke svému narození. Malý Oskar se narodil jako dítě s mozkem dospělého. I když to nedával najevo, jeho myšlenkové pochody byly už od narození na poměrně vysoké úrovni. Oskar už tedy docela brzy poznal a prokoukl svět dospělých a rozhodl se, že do něj nechce nikdy vstoupit; do svých třetích narozenin žil toliko jen díky příslibu plechového bubínku. O svých třetích narozeninách si umínil, že přestane růst a tak se také stalo. Ještě jedna zlomová událost se odehrála o Oskarových třetích narozeninách – dostal svůj první plechový bubínek. Oskárek zůstává liliputem, předstírá zaostalost a jako se zpomaleným je s ním také jednáno. S okolím komunikuje přes svůj plechový bubínek, na kterém neustále vyluzuje nejroztodivnější zvuky. Když se někdo pokusí Oskarovi bubínek sebrat, tak použije chlapec svou tajnou zbraň – neobyčejně vysoký hlas, který rozbíjí sklo. Díky své předstírané retardaci si Oskar udržuje odstup od dospělých a může svobodně myslet. Žije ve svém vlastním světě, kde neplatí obyčejné lidské zákony, ale hlavním pravidlem jsou Oskarovy osobní přání a touhy.

Podivné dítě Oskar s mozkem dospělého člověka a bubínkem v náručí prochází pozoruhodným, bizarním, tragickým životem. Ukazuje nám rub i líc svobodného města Gdaňsku a později pak poválečného Düsseldorfu. Oskar sám sebe považuje za následníka Ježíše, ve svém prazvláštním životě touží po nových zkušenostech, životních i sexuálních, vše sebeironicky a s nadsázkou komentuje.
Oskar má částečnou vinu na smrti několika blízkých lidí. Po smrti svého otce Matzeratha, kterou sice zavinil, ale rozhodně si ji neklade za vinu, se rozhodne vyrůst. Povyroste sice, ale stane se hrbáčem, což ho nadále odděluje od běžné společnosti. V těchto podmínkách se přestěhuje s nevlastní matkou (dříve milenkou) Marií a malým bratrem do Düsseldorfu. Svého nevlastního bratra považuje za své dítě a je zklamán, když zjišťuje, že toto dítě je "jen obyčejné dítě". Proslaví se jako vynikající bubeník, který svými písněmi vrací publikum do dětství. Pak je na vlastní žádost obviněn z vraždy, kterou nespáchal, shledán nezpůsobilým a umístěn do Léčebného a zaopatřovacího ústavu. Děj končí v den Oskarových třicátých narozenin, kdy za ním přijdou na návštěvu přátelé a advokát s oznámením o obnově procesu.

Kansas students invited to Washington correspondents' dinner
PITTSBURG, Kan. – Six Kansas high school journalists who published a story that led to the resignation of their school's new principal will be special guests at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
The Pittsburgh High School students and their teacher, Emily Smith, are receiving an all-expenses paid trip to the April 29 dinner in Washington D.C., courtesy of the Huffington Post.
The group made national news after a story published last month in the student newspaper questioned the credentials of Amy Robertson, who had been hired to become principal at the school. The questions eventually led Robertson to resign.
Pittsburg Superintendent Destry Brown told the Pittsburg Morning Sun (http://bit.ly/2o3IAaJ ) he's excited the students will get a "once in a lifetime" experience.
The students will be in Washington from April 28 to April 30.

Since the 1980s there has been a clear reversal of the trend towards relatively egalitarian income distribution achieved during the post-war period, with a global race to the bottom occurring in the share of wages in national income in the UK and elsewhere.
This decline in the wage share was associated with a weaker and more volatile growth performance. In the UK, similar to the US or the periphery of Europe, households increased their debt to maintain consumption levels in the absence of decent wage increases. The crisis of 2007-9, and the subsequent Great Recession have proven the fragility of this model. The recovery in Britain is built once again on the shaky ground of household debt instead of wage growth.
Empirical evidence shows that when the share of wages in national income decreases four things happen. First, consumption decreases, since workers consume more as a proportion of their income compared to the owners of capital; hence when there is a redistribution from wages to profits, domestic consumption in the national economy unambiguously decreases. Second, although private investment may increase due to higher profits, this increase is insufficient to offset the negative effects on domestic consumption. Third, net exports (exports minus imports) increase due to a fall in unit labour costs, but in the majority of countries this increase is not enough to offset the negative effect on domestic demand. Finally, in an environment of the global race to the bottom in the wage share, most of the positive effects on net exports are wiped out as labour costs fall simultaneously in all countries, and their international competitiveness relative to each other does not change significantly. Thus, in the vast majority of countries a fall in the wage share leads to lower growth; this is what we call a wage-led growth economy. The UK is a typical example of a wage-led economy.
In a wage-led country like the UK, or the EU as a whole, more egalitarian policies are consistent with growth. A wage-led recovery out of the financial crisis is feasible, but will need political will to be achieved. Globalisation is not an impediment to a wage-led development strategy. The UK and the EU as a whole would be the economies that would benefit most from a coordinated boost to the wage share at the global level. As such, the UK and Europe could, and should, take a step forward in terms of radically reversing the fall in the wage share. This would then create space for egalitarian growth strategies at a global level.
The fall in the wage share has been a deliberate outcome of policies that led to the fall in the bargaining power of labour, welfare state retrenchment, and financialisation. The solution therefore lies in reversing this process. Policies should be in place to ensure that nominal wages increase in line with inflation and productivity. This should follow an initial gradual correction of the loss in the wage share in the past three decades.
A strategy of wage-led development requires a policy mix that includes labour market policies aiming at pre-distribution, as well as redistributive policies through progressive taxation. Furthermore, distribution policies need to be complemented by a macroeconomic and industrial policy mix. Wage policies have to be embedded into broader targets of equality, full employment, and ecological sustainability.
Strengthen the bargaining power of labour by re-regulating the labour market, improving union legislation, widening collective bargaining and ensuring an active role for the state in institution building to facilitate sectoral bargaining structures.
Increase statutory minimum wage and put processes in place for the incremental increase of minimum wage to the level of a living wage. Expedite this process through the use of public contracts.
Introduce and enforce pay ratios.
Restore the progressivity of the tax system through increasing corporation tax and top rates of income tax, along with more effective taxes on wealth.
Restore and strengthen the welfare state and re-orientate macroeconomic policies towards ensuring full employment in order to rebalance both power relations and the wider economy.
Reverse the process of financialisation through regulating finance.
A pro-labour and pro-jobs strategy requires a public investment programme centred on substantial public investment in ecological investments and social infrastructure.
End regressive wage policies such as public sector pay freezes.
Substantially shorten working time in parallel with the historical growth in productivity.

The Image Salon, run by a fantastic photography duo, approached us with a booming business in need of a custom client portal. Their hundreds of clients needed a centralized location to place orders, pay invoices, and track order progress. What's more, the portal needed to integrate with a variety of software that the Image Salon team was already accustomed to using.
To create a beautifully designed custom client portal that integrated with all of The Image Salon's existing workflows and tools – all so that both the client and editors have seamless experiences.
We needed to create a beautifully design portal that compliments The Image Salon's brand. (2) Integrate the portal with a variety of tools that The Image Salon team uses on a daily basis. (3) Create an intuitive, structured layout that photographers can navigate quickly and easily.
We designed a portal that is completely custom and features a detailed user registration process, complex order forms, intuitive profiles, integrated order statuses, access to paid and pending account balances, and a from-scratch referral system. The portal integrates Meister Task, Freshbooks, WordPress, and Gravity Forms to accomplish a streamlined experience.


This manual describes the operating procedure for the entropy program. This program will calculate the specific entropy for a given chunk of binary or ascii data that was previously read from stdin or supplied on the command line via -t.
The most common use for this program is to gauge the efficiency of a compression algorithm. In theory, based on the data's entropy, the maximum theoretical compression rate can be calculated.
To understand how compression works, we must understand that all data can be characterized by informational content, called its entropy (the term is borrowed from Thermo-Dynamics). Compression is possible because most data is represented with more bits then its entropy suggests is optimal.
Rather then read the data from the stdin input stream, use the string string as the source of the data. This is useful when you would like to calculate for a specific word or sentence.
Where `Pz' is the probability of symbol 'z' being found in the set. By storing each distinct symbol as a node in a list, we can calculate exactly how many times the symbol occurs in the set. This is also known as solving for the symbol's frequency.
In order to calculate the overall entropy of the data; we sum the total entropies contributed by each distinct symbol and divide that by a coefficient known as the data size. This coefficient is calculated by taking the number of bits per symbol and multiplying it by the total quantity of symbols.
The entropy utility exits 0 on success, and non-zero if an error occurs.
None known. This does not mean they do not exist though. Please send bug reports and source code patches to (bugs@sqrt.ca).

Q: Invalid Python SDK Error while using Python 3.4 on PyCharm When I switch my PyCharm to use Python 3.4.3 and I am getting the error:

Invalid Python SDK

Also PyCharm does not automatically find the Python 3.4 interpreter for me, even though it is on the desired path /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin/python3.4. See the screenshot:

Despite this the interpreter does work. I am able to get correct output as expected, but code completion related to Python 3.4 is not working.
E.g. print("hello world!) still shows an error on the editor, but the console shows the correct output.

A: I had the same issue.
Try to comment/remove the PYTHONPATH variable in your ~/.bash_profile
#export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/

If it does not help it also may be useful to look in the idea.log for the errors:
/Users/username/Library/Logs/PyCharm40/idea.log

I had the following errors:
Your PYTHONPATH points to a site-packages dir for Python 2.x but you are running Python 3.x!
     PYTHONPATH is currently: "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/"
     You should `unset PYTHONPATH` to fix this.

A: This also happened to me. I renamed a repository and then my virtual environment got stuck in the old path.
I grepped all configuration files and could not find any reference to the old one.
What finally solved the problem was to clear caches with the option File > Invalidate Caches / Restart...:

A: I go the same error message in Windows version of PyCharm after I re-installed Python (3.5) on a different location. The problem was that most of my existing virtual environments registered in PyCharm were still referencing the old installation of Python.
I resolved it by deleting these existing virtual environments and creating a new one. If deleting existing interpreters (in virtual environment) is not an option, you should be able to modify them instead in File | Settings | Project Interpreter

A: I got the same issue, when I updated Python (3.x) version via Home brew in MacOS.
Above answers didn't work for me. But with those, I realize that, it's an issue with linking the directories. I deleted ~/.virtualenvs folder and recreated all virtual envs.
$ ls -a ~/.virtualenvs
local-dev wdias-dev
$ rm -rf ~/.virtualenvs
$ which python3
/usr/local/bin/python3
$ mkvirtualenv local-dev --python=/usr/local/bin/python3
$ mkvirtualenv wdias-dev --python=/usr/local/bin/python3

Open the PyCharm again, and it works fine.

A: I couldn't get anything to work, so I cloned my conda env (see how), called it something else, and then set it in PyCharm to the new one.

A: For me, changing the paths in ~\venv\pyvenv.cfg made PyCharm recognize the new environment after bringing my projects to a new PC.

A: I had the same issue in Windows10. I was so frustrated, beacause everything seems looked OK. I've added PYTHONPATH, I've restarted Pycharm and deleted old virtualenv folders and created new... It did't work.
And at the end I have just opened Pycharm in an administrator mode and it works!

A: When creating a new project my interpreter was set to python 2.7 so I had to change that to python3 and everything works like a charm

A: I got the same problem with Pop OS 21.04 and Pycharm installed via Flatpack. So i remove it and installed via Snap and started working again.

A: I ended up having to install Python as an admin and make sure it installed to the C:\Program Files\Python310 folder. I think The option was to make sure it installed for all users. If I installed it under for user's appdata it wouldn't work.
Once I did that I was able to point pycharm to the C:\Program Files\Python310\ for the interpreter. Pretty annoying but finally got it working

A: I've solved it too. Uninstalled python 3.10, installed python 3.9. Changed the python interpreter to 3.9 through pycharm setting. Created a new virtual environment.


"Come Together!" is a digital place where readers' contributions, the work of journalists and technology can act together to bring the local newspaper back to the center of the public debate of local communities, as an institutional subject able to act with and for readers' trust. For journalists "Come Together!" will be a dashboard with widgets to organize calls to action to build investigative and solution journalism reporting, but also public events. It will be a digital community accelerator for readers, offering tools to report and take part. The project will be developed for all the 14 GNN local titles.
Readers' involvement is the heart of local journalism. But GEDI News readers have to use third party platforms and newsrooms are losing the direct relationship with them. Social platforms provide interactivity tools but not journalism. This project aims to combine the two things. "Come together!" will boost the membership model by increasing logged in users and facilitating the sign up and subscription funnels. Readers will have a new reason to visit our websites: make their voice heard. This platform will strengthen the relationship of trust between titles and readers.


A nanometre is actually a billionth of a metre. A sheet of paper is 100,000 nanometres thick, while a gold atom is around a third of a nanometre. One nanometre is how long your fingernail grows in one second. This year, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for the design and synthesis of molecular machines. This is nanotechnology. Sir J Fraser Stoddart, one of those Nobel laureates, says that if you can build something in Meccano then it can be built in nano in a lab.
Nanoparticles are those at the nano scale – between 1 and around 100 nanometres. As two reagents react, they form a particle. If you can control the reaction time, you can control the size of the particle and keep it within the nanoscale. The molecules can start to stick together, but we want individual ones. Gareth and his team have now developed a process that can create a kilogram of nanoparticles in an hour whereas before it would take a whole day to create a kilogram. By making the process faster, it also becomes cheaper.
Then you just need to functionalize the process to prevent the solution from coming apart. For example, iron filings are added to breakfast cereal to fortify them and if these are coated with vitamin C, they will be more easily absorbed in the gut. In fact, in tests, ferritin levels were increased by 2.9% compared to an increase of 17.8% when Boots Iron & Vitamin C supplement was used. Iron oxide is used in MRI scans and tin oxide is used in X-rays. Could we come up with a molecule that could be used in both? It turns out that it is possible to create something that gives dual contrast.
MRI is one of the fundamental uses of nanoparticle use and the aim is to develop MPI - Magnetic Particle Imaging. This measures the field created by paramagnetic particles (something is paramagnetic if it is magnetic once you place it in a magnetic field). There are also other medical uses, for example therapeutic vectors such as aspirin. For this kind of work, it's vital that the particles are all a uniform size; this means you can trace where the particles are in the body.
Can we do this through the skin rather than by injection? For example, when trying to cure melanomas. Using magnets to move magnetic particles creates heat, which will kill the cancer cells, and by applying through the skin, the particles can be kept local to the cancer.
Can we bio-fortify chickens? There isn't much iron in chickens compared to red meat. Rather than mixing the iron with vitamin C, it was mixed with lysine and the amount of iron in chickens was increased by around a third. Broiler chickens are only alive for three weeks, so some of the feeding of nanoparticles took place during the three weeks that the chickens are in the egg. Kellogg's also asked if it was possible to bio-fortify potatoes after they had just bought Pringles.
In crop production, tomatoes fed with nano-formula gave 40% more fruit. Tesco's growers are now using nanotechnology for all the tomatoes they grow in the UK – some 260,000 plants. It's also possible to use nano-silicon and grow tomatoes that don't require canes to grow. Fortified chilli plants have 60% more fruit, increased iron and vitamin C and it contains 20% more capsicum, leading to the hottest chillies in the world. They measure 2.4 million on the Scoville Scale (the previous hottest had been 2.2 million). It's also possible to grow a potato that contains more iron than a steak, and is two weeks ahead size-wise of where it would be without the formula. It's now possible to buy this nanotechnology for your own chillies from a company that Gareth and his colleagues were involved in setting up, called Pharm2Farm.
It's amazing what else is nano, for example, Coffee Mate. However, Coffee Mate is actually explosive as it has such a large surface area compared to its weight (this sort of thing used to happen in mills). In the US, the biggest crop for nanotechnology is cannabis. In Colorado, it is now a bigger crop than maize. If it ever legalised in the UK, it would be worth close to £3 billion in tax revenues.
And what were those chillis like? Well, the two brave souls who tried them said that it felt like their teeth were burning while they were eating them. Then the heat came back in waves. Eventually, they had to drink all of the milk in the pub to dampen down the effect.
SciBar returns to The Vat & Fiddle on Wednesday 25 January, at 7.30pm. Hopefully by then, they'll have some more milk.


We've been trying to do more arts & craft projects to enhance my homeschool curriculum as well as to have more fun so we were thrilled to try Super Beads from Zirrly. We chose the Super Beads Jungle Animals and decided to have my middle daughter and their niece and nephew join in the fun. Our kit came complete with everything needed to make several jungle animals and with the boards, they can create whatever their imagination allows! Zirrly provides an easier way by using the Super Beads which require no hot irons or glue and with the patterns and boards, the children can build their design, spray with water (bottle included) and let dry.
We started out getting everything organized which did not require a lot of time. The anticipation of unboxing the kit was exciting for the little ones. It was quite manageable as my oldest, 14, assisted in creating the works of art. Once the designs were put in place on the boards, it allowed the smaller ones an ease in where to place the appropriate colored Super Beads onto the template. Once we were done with the designs, all it took was some sprays from the water bottle and they had fun completed projects! We also found that if they didn't stick together, we could just respray with the water and they would refuse together.
It was a fun project for all three, regardless of age, as they really enjoyed working with their aunt and she enjoyed showing them how to make this playful monkey. I thought the younger ones might have problems handling the small beads but they did just fine along with my older child. My older hands seemed to have a little more trouble but that's expected as we become more seasoned (smile). I think utilizing the small beads, tray and boards was ideal for younger ones that might need some hand eye coordination activities. They never became frustrated with the first build but after the first one they built, they were ready for a break.
We found we had to wash our hands in between using the red or orange beads and lighter colors like yellow as it would bleed onto the lighter colors. It was important follow the directions and ensure hands were completely dry and to wash with soap and water afterwards. The instructions do state to wash one's hands and have I mentioned they are also safe and non-toxic?
Overall, they had fun with the Zirrly Super Beads Jungle Animals kit. They were able to build their projects while helping one another and learned how to follow direction. The ability to make the various jungle animals and their other creations allowed them to utilize their imagination and creativity. Not requiring a hot iron or glue was a big plus for me! The colors coming off on their fingers wasn't really a problem since it did easily wash off. The trays and patterns (templates) helped them create something that looked like the box and instructions which was another win as they felt it was pretty cool to have completed something that looked exactly like it should have looked. The flexibility of the kit also allowed for children to create what they wanted by using the board without the patterns (template).

Q: how can i link Push notification to open the image that has been saved in this scenario the user save image and he gets push notification,I want that user click on the notification then he should be directed towards the path where he has saved image. how can i do it. by addaction in notification or else ?
private void saveImage() {
    ctime = Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.MILLISECOND);
    imageView.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
    bitmap = imageView.getDrawingCache();

//the path where image is stored
    file = new File(
            android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),"ZXMCO Picture");
    if (!file.exists()) {
        file.mkdirs();

    }
    f = new File(file.getAbsolutePath() + file.separator + "frm"
            + ctime + ".png");
    MediaScannerConnection.scanFile(this, new String[]{f.getPath()},
            null, new MediaScannerConnection.OnScanCompletedListener() {
                public void onScanCompleted(String path, Uri uri) {
                }
            });

    FileOutputStream ostream = null;
    try {
        ostream = new FileOutputStream(f);
        bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 10, ostream);

    } catch (Exception e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    try {
        ostream.flush();
        ostream.close();
        Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(
                "content://media/internal/images/media"));
        NotificationManager notif=(NotificationManager)getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
        Notification notify=new Notification.Builder
                (getApplicationContext()).setContentTitle("ZXMCO").setContentText("Image Saved Successfully").
                setContentTitle("ZXMCO").setSmallIcon(R.drawable.logo_64x43).build();
        notify.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
        notif.notify(0, notify);
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Image saved",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }

    catch (Exception e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

}

A: I am not sure, it will work or not ,You can use intent to go to the path of saved image,
Intent intent=new Intent();
        intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
        intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(new File(path)), "image/*");

        PendingIntent pendingIntent=PendingIntent.getActivity(context,0,intent,PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

Now call this pending intent in Notification as:-
notification= new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
                .setContentTitle("Alarm service")
                .setWhen(System.currentTimeMillis())
                .setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND)
                .setAutoCancel(true)
                .addAction(R.drawable.go,"Go",pendingIntent)//to add action button
                .setContentIntent(pendingIntent).build();

Father Raises Alarm Over Kidnap, Abduction Of 13-Year-Old Christian Daughter In Bauchi
By Ephraim Adiele | Associate Editor on May 13, 2016

A cleric with the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Ganjuwa LGA of Bauchi state, Bawa Buba has raised an alarm over the kidnap and forceful conversion to Islam of his 13-year-old daughter.
Speaking via a petition addressed to the inspector general of police, the National Assembly and the ministry of women affairs, Elder Buba availed that his daughter was kidnapped by her uncle, asking for the appropriate actions to be taken as all his efforts to recover his daughter has been futile.
The letter read:
My name is Elder Bawa Buba, an ordained Elder of Seventh-day Adventist Church Miya, in Ganjuwa LGA of Bauchi state. I write to petition you over the abduction and islamization of my 13 year old daughter Alheri Bawa by her uncle Mal Dauda Buba without my consent and approval.
On the 13th April 2016, my daughter left Miya town to visit her uncles in our family compound in Siri Village. She later followed one of her uncle's children to to spend the weekend in Bauchi city to spend the weekend.
I thought she was in the village but after three days I sent for her to come back home but was told she has followed her uncle's children to Bauchi.
I made a called to Dauda Buba, who is a son to my elder brother, to whom my daughter has gone to visit to enquire whether my daughter was with him as reported. To my surprise he confirmed the information and told me that he has also Islamized her and that I should forget about seeing her any soon.
I was shocked and thought it was a joke. I asked him why he didn't discussed with me and my daughter has never mentioned such an intentions. He told me that I should just understand and allow my daughter remain with him.
This is a big issue because when Christianity and Islam came to our village, I accepted Christianity while other of my brothers accepted Islam. Few are still practicing traditional religion. I was seen as an outcast in the family till date. I believe he did something to my daughter and she's not in her right sense right now.
My story continues. I went to the village and reported the issue to my brothers who were not pleased with Dauda did. They all expressed displeasure over the issue and call upon Dauda to return my daughter to me but he told them he won't and that Bauchi State Sharia Commission and other big names are aware of the girl's change of faith and since I'm doing nothing at the moment I cannot drag with me.
My family members were helpless and advice me to take the case to Hakimin Miya, Alhaji Sulaiman Yakubu.
I reported to Hakimin Miya who went to Bauchi and asked him to return my daughter. He told Hakimi he will but did not after 3 days Hakimi sent his dogari to Bauchi but he could not. Hakimi now told me to take the case further.
I reported to Gajuwa Police Division, the DPO, Mr Tambuwal, told me that it's not in his jurisdiction that I should report to GRA Bauchi Division. I have no resources at all for these. I asked my church pastor for help since the issue have gone beyond family.
One of my brother gave me the address of Mal Dauda Buba, the abductor my daughter, who work as a security man in GRA, after Nehima Clinic, behind Government House, Bauchi. I went to the house and I was lucky to meet him at the gate. With my church pastor and a deacon in church, we greeted with him. I then asked why he love to bring problem to my family. I told him the pain and trauma he has brought to my family just because he feel I'm poor and will have no one to stand for me while he will use my daughter's conversion for personal gain among the Muslim elites in the state, especially the state Sharia Commission which he is boasting of in the phone with me.
To my surprise he told me that the issue is no longer family but religious so I should put family aside and accept that fact or I should go to Sharia Commission who are the only ones with power to release my daughter from him.
As we were talking my daughter came out excited to seeing me and wanted to follow me home, I held her hands and asked her to enter the pastor's car so that we'll go home. As she was going, Mal Dauda Buba rushed and held unto her hijab and told her that she is irresponsible and she will not follow me unless the Sharia Commission are here since they are aware of her decision.
My daughter shouted "Na FASA, na FASA" that's "I'm not longer interested". At this points we started dragging with him over my daughter. Within seconds the place was filled with hoodlums who wanted to turn the issue into a religious crisis. They threatened to burn my pastor's car. They place became and the tension was high. Mal Dauda was shouting, "this religious issue, not family", " He brought his church people".
At this point some Muslim leaders in the area came and expressed their disapproval towards Mal Dauda's action as unislamic but he insisted that he will not let her go. They now told my pastor to see how he will get me out of the place because I was no longer in my right mind because of the pains and trauma I have been through and my daughter's willingness to follow me. I was ready to die with my daughter in my hand.
The hoodlums were increasing in number and the Muslim elders begged my pastor to take me away and that I should not worry, the police will return my daughter to me because Dauda's action and the boys around is not Islam.
My pastor now dragged me by force into the car and drove away from the scene.
Later on we went to GRA Division Police station and laid our complaints. The police were quick in action at the beginning. They attached a policeman to us who later arrested the man and brought him to the station.
The man was asked to sit behind the counter to explain his side. The man then made a call to the Sharia Commission. They requested to speak with the police. After speaking with the police, the man was ask to come to the front of counter by Inspector Abdulraman Dass who was in charge. The man now begin to speak boldly. We were just watching with surprise.
The station DCO ASP Joseph came out immediately and ask me to go to court and request for the custody of my daughter. That it's a civil case. My 13 year daughter is abducted, Islamized and forced to stay with a criminal and the police called it a civil case. We were ask by the DCO to hire a lawyer and go to court over my daughter.
Where is the money to file a case? Which court should I go to? Sharia Court? I'm in trauma and pain. All I want is the custody of my daughter Alheri Grace Bawa.
Pls sir, use your office to return my daughter back to me. I'm home in the village back to my wife and remaining 5 children as we weep and wait for justice for me and my family.

by BryanGLeave a Comment on Shredding slime?
Ok I know this sounds as odd as can be but first it's gold slime the video creator give the girl who shows him how to make it the much needed credit. And then commences running his gold slime through a shredder. The results are interesting. I don't think I will be trying it anytime soon but heck it is fun to watch.
The other than wondering how difficult it is to clean a shredder of Gold slime it is cool to see how his shredder works. I haven't looked inside of a these machines but I would definatly hat to get my finger caught in one.
