Lindsey Vonn did not medal in the women's Alpine combined event on Thursday at the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, when her ski clipped a gate on her final run.
Vonn had entered the slalom portion of the event in first place and had a good shot at winning gold in what is widely considered her final Winter Olympics event.
The US's Mikaela Shiffrin notched her second medal of the games by jumping to second from sixth during the final run.
There was no final moment of Olympic glory for Lindsey Vonn, as she blew a good shot at winning a gold medal in the women's Alpine combined event on Thursday when she clipped a gate and did not finish the slalom portion.
Vonn entered the second run in first place, with a lead of more than 0.7 seconds over Ragnhild Mowinckel of Norway and Michelle Gisin of Switzerland. The US's Mikaela Shiffrin was in sixth place after the downhill portion and was expected to make up ground in the slalom, her specialty.
Vonn had not competed in a slalom event since injuring her knee in 2013. Still, after her third-place finish on Tuesday in her final downhill race, she appeared set to rebound in the combined event.
But on the 13th gate, Vonn's worst nightmare came true — her ski clipped the gate, and she was out.
Gisin eventually won the gold, and Shiffrin the silver.
All Vonn could do was scream and shrug.
Vonn finished what is widely considered her final Winter Olympics with one bronze medal over three events at the 2018 Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
Meanwhile, Shiffrin, who won gold in the giant slalom, gained her second medal of the games.
Despite Shiffrin's two medals, many will look back at her performance at this year's Olympics and wonder what might have been with a little luck and some better weather.
She came into the games hoping to win five medals. But scheduling delays forced Shiffrin to withdraw from two events, and she fell to fourth in her best event, the slalom, after what she described as a battle with nerves before one of her runs.

Is it Really Brutalist Architecture in Blade Runner 2049?
Charlie Clemoes and Alice Sweitzer
Blade Runner 2049's cityscape has been heavily influenced by brutalist forms. But the hyper-capitalist society in which the film takes place is completely at odds with the style's underlying philosophy.
This autumn saw the release of Blade Runner 2049, the long-anticipated sequel to Ridley Scott's 1982 film Blade Runner.
There's been a fair few takes on this film, either seeking to decipher the film's numerous visual motifs or commenting on its underlying moral message. Meanwhile, it's also had its fair share of criticisms, largely centering on the objectification of women and the lack of racial diversity.From an architectural perspective, there's a lot to get your teeth into, especially if you're one of the many recent converts to the once derided brutalist architectural style.
One of the many, vast brutalist cityscapes present in the film.
Blade Runner 2049 Trailer #2 (2017)
This brutalist association is wholly intentional. In an interview for Variety, Blade Runner 2049's cinematographer Roger Deakins explained that "A lot of the Brutalist architecture in London became the key, really". According to Deakins, what informed set designer Dennis Gassner's vision most "was when [director Denis Villeneuve] said he wanted it to feel brutalist, that severe concrete architecture that started in the 1950s".
Watching the film, though, a problem emerges in the application of this particular style: its central philosophy, rooted in socialism, is entirely out of step with the future society which the film depicts.
The Brutal World of 2049
The future cityscape in which 2049 takes place is one that appears to have absorbed, and accelerated the worst effects of our contemporary late capitalist economic model.
This is most obviously apparent in scenes where the main character K flies through Los Angeles in his hover car. His periphery is filled with ambient, neon advertising. Slogans and icons fade into a white noise, fighting for this decidedly glum character's limited attention. He is the perfect, lonely, individual consumer.
Some of the seductive advertising K is treated to.
But it is also implied in the economic model which produces this cityscape, which is seemingly dominated by a single corporation, Wallace Corp. Led by shadowy industrialist Niander Wallace, the corporation appears to have established a monopoly over synthetic farming, and due to the collapse of the world's ecosystems, also over humanity's food supply. As the plot progresses, it's clear to see that this power has afforded Wallace the opportunity to act as if completely unencumbered by the rule of law.
On this note, another definitively capitalist element of this cityscape is the abject lack of governance. Stripped of all benevolence, government only appears as an instrument of control, in the form of the LAPD, while the lack of social provision is underlined by the almost complete absence of families, and more importantly, children. Indeed, the only children we see in the film are outcasts, condemned to work in a child labor sweatshop outside the city limits.
LAPD Headquarters, the only government in sight.
This is all quite in keeping with the way things are going in our most nakedly capitalist urban territories. In a 2015 blog post, the editor of New Socialist Tom Gann envisaged a London in the very near future, "a city largely without the presence of children as an ever decreasing supply of council houses leaves families with children to leave [the city]." Gann compares this masculine world to a "gnostic fantasy… without touch, labour, chance or intersubjectivity".
The Brutalists' Future
So far, you might think that such a society, characterised by rabid consumption, lonely men, and a lack of any kind of mutual care, would be very well captured by an architectural style whose very name suggests brutality. But this would be to drastically misunderstand the intentions of the original brutalist architects.
Much of the misconception about brutalism resides in the word itself. The word "brutal" exists in numerous European languages. But the original architects who used the term sought to employ the specific subtlety it has when spoken in French, where concrete translates as "beton brut".
Moreover, "brut" specifically suggests rawness. This was meant to be a style that really stripped back the smooth, soft forms of early modernist design. According to geographer Oli Mould in his article "Brutalism Redux", from the 1950s onwards, an increasingly radical architectural avant garde were beginning to see such soft forms as "frivolous, whimsical and not progressive enough for the welfare needs of the post-war era".
The key intentions of the style were outlined in a manifesto written by Reyner Banham and published in the Architectural Review in 1955. According to the manifesto, brutalism intends to emphasise memorability, material rawness and an honesty of structure. But, as Mould emphasises, brutalism in practice went much further than this material definition.
This is put most eloquently by the couple who did perhaps the most to fashion brutalism as a radical, socialist form of architecture, Alison and Peter Smithson: "The bare structure was ready for dressing by the art of inhabitation". The idea was to fashion memorable forms out of decidedly raw materials, in order to capture the spirit of the inhabitants, and to really provide a place which would harmonise with their complex experiences over a long period of time.
This is why director Denis Villeneuve's aim to make the world of 2049 "feel brutalist" falls flat. To concentrate merely on the look is to eschew the principal aim of the brutalist architects. Indeed, while the architecture in Blade Runner may resemble those buildings built in the postwar period, it is a brutalism stripped of all sociality, and stripped of its most important element: people. In that sense, it's not really brutalism at all.
Capitalist Realism and Futurist Set Design
But we shouldn't be too harsh on the film's producers. It's not their fault that the society we now live in has almost completely given up any attempts to fashion a future (and by extension a future urban architecture) which operates to the benefit of the general citizen.
Yet this brings to mind another serious problem with the use of brutalist architecture: its flagship projects were mostly completed half a century ago. This architecture was indeed futuristic around the time Philip K. Dick was writing Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1961), the novel on which the film is based. But now, in 2017, it is anything but futuristic. Again, this suggests we are stuck in a present which is incapable of imagining a bold future of its own.
Brutalism without people isn't really brutalism at all.
This incapacity is determined by what the late cultural theorist Mark Fisher described as "capitalist realism". While the most comprehensive outline of capitalist realism can be found on Fisher's extant blog k-punk, a more concise description of capitalist realism is provided by Fredric Jameson, who posited that it is now "easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism."
More specifically, capitalist realism is an ideology which took particular root after the fall of communism, when capitalism's proponents were able to present their cherished economic model as the only realistic political-economic system. Capitalist realism colours all areas of contemporary experience, it is, as Fisher states "…a post-ideological malaise which suggests that the economics and politics of free market neo-liberalism are givens rather than constructions."
In this context, contemporary films set in the future are encumbered by a present which is incapable of imagining a more enlightened future. After all, amid the pervasive capitalist realist ideology, there is no future after capitalism. To paraphrase Fisher, it is nowhere and it's forever. These films are caught in an ideological framework which is more comfortable depicting the end of humanity than the end of capitalism. As such, the urban environments we see in these films can only reinforce an unbearably bleak vision of the future, think Children of Men (2007), or one that is almost identical to our present, think Her (2013).
"To Dwell is to Leave Traces"
In an article for The Baffler, David Graeber talks specifically about the new Star Wars films. He initially speculates that people of previous eras would have been dazzled by how realistic the film's specialist effects were, especially when compared to the clumsy special effects of yesteryear. But he catches himself: "Actually, no. They wouldn't be impressed at all, would they? They thought we'd be doing this kind of thing by now. Not just figuring out more sophisticated ways to simulate it."
The problem with simulation is that it can be wiped clean. So too, can much of the architecture which we are now surrounded by. It may look fresh right now, in the moment, but it contains none of the promise of a future which people have made themselves. And soon it will be knocked down and immediately forgotten about.
Returning to Blade Runner 2049's use of brutalist forms, while they may look monumental, at Wallace's whim, they too can easily be destroyed, and will immediately be forgotten about, especially since many of its most spectacular brutalist-style backdrops are also largely devoid of people. It is people that give this form of architecture its significance (all architecture for that matter).
This brings to mind the cultural theorist Walter Benjamin, who famously said that "to dwell is to leave traces". While brutalism is precisely geared towards realising this ideal form of dwelling, nothing about the Blade Runner universe suggests even the slightest concern for such an ideal.

Check out the architecture and society in the film Dredd (2012). It takes its que from 2000AD comic created in the late 70's and early 80's UK. It depicts its world as an absurd extension of Thatcherite/Reganite society and cold war paranoia. It is not a depiction of a more enlightened future for sure, but it is an unusual one, with the roots of its world building not in our present time, but in a world of 40 years ago. And for reasons of continuity and fan service the writers of 2000AD have kept their stories there.

This matter dealt with an appeal against a decision of the High Court dismissing the appellant's claim for a declaration of rights over land and the setting aside of a directive made by the minister. The appellant had contended in the lower court that the act was only applicable to agricultural land and was not intended to relate to land within a proclaimed township.
The main issues for the court's consideration were whether the land in question fell within the scope of the minister's powers under the act and whether these powers were lawfully exercised.
The court established that the wording of the act was clear, and that the extent of the minister's power did not cover non-agricultural land. The court concluded that the decision of the minister should have been set aside. The court stated further that the powers under s 31A of the Environment Conservation Act 73 of 1989 were not to be applied without the procedure set out in the act. Therefore, in the absence of compliance with these procedures, the minister's decision was invalid. Accordingly, the court upheld the appeal with costs to the appellant.
Jafta JA in a dissenting judgment held that the procedure set out in the act dealt mainly with procedural fairness and was not a prerequisite for the exercise of the minister's powers. He concluded that the procedural aspects if applied in this context would defeat the purpose of the powers under s 31A of the act, to protect the environment.

The applicant intended to erect a petrol station and submitted an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report to the respondent for approval. The respondent did not, however, respond to the report within three months, as envisaged in the Environmental Management and Co-ordination Act. The applicant decided to proceed with the project, as permitted by section 58 (9) of the Act.
The respondent stopped the project and handed the applicant a letter to the effect that the proposal for the project had been rejected.
The applicant applied for judicial review orders and submitted that the respondent had failed to conduct public hearings to assess the acceptability of the proposal. Thus, the respondent could not interfere with the applicant's statutory discretion under section 58 (9) of the Act.
The court had to decide whether the rejection by the respondent was binding and if the respondent had sufficient grounds for the rejection.
The court held that the remedy of judicial review deals with the process, but not the merits of the decision by a tribunal, therefore the respondent's submission that the applicant should have appealed to the tribunal if aggrieved, was untenable.
Further, that members of the public were denied sufficient opportunity to respond and make their comments. The applicant could not blame the respondents for failing to comply with section 58 (9). The delay in giving the decision was only one month, which in view of the court, was reasonable in the circumstances.
Application dismissed.

The court considered an appeal against the condition attached by the respondent, to its approval of a housing project.
The appellant intended to build a seven storey building, but the respondent restricted it to four. The appellant contended that the limitation placed on the number of storeys and refusal to allow construction for residential floors, below ground level, was unlawful, which had already been approved by the city council.
Upon request to the tribunal, residents of the area were enjoined to the appeal as interested parties, arguing that the appellant's development did not respect the stipulated environment, and planning regulations, that permitted only a maximum of four storey buildings in Zone 4, where the proposed construction was located.
The tribunal considered whether the limitations placed on the construction were justified. It held that the respondent had the authority to impose conditions that it deemed necessary to prevent and/or reduce negative environmental impacts that might result from an activity, and therefore had the lawful authority to regulate the appellant's activity.
Under the Environmental Management and Coordination Act (EMCA) and the regulations made under it, the respondent's authority superseded that of the city council and any action the Council may have taken regarding the proposed development. The tribunal found that the city council's approval was not lawful. Accordingly, the appeal was dismissed.

City Council of Manzini v Cambridge High School (pty)Ltd and 2 Otehrs (NULL) [2004] SZHC 45 (06 April 2004);
The applicant made applications for interdicts prohibiting the use of various properties other than for residential purposes according to the Manzini Development Code of 1991.
The respondents raised technical objections to the legality of the code. The respondents argued that the applicants used the words "scheme" and "code" interchangeably to refer to the code instead of "scheme" as per the Town Planning Act of 1961. It was found that the document met the requirements and that the "code" or "scheme" was the document specifically provided for in the act, regardless of the name by which it was called.
The respondent argued that the code was invalid for lacking any changes proving that it had not been reviewed periodically according to s 21(4) of the act. The court determined whether the term "shall" in s 21(4) of the act was peremptory or merely directive. The provision states that, "every approved scheme shall be reviewed periodically at intervals of not more than five years." The court applied the rule that a provision is merely directory if it is in positive terms and lacks a penal sanction. Consequently, it was held that reviewing would not always lead to a change in the schemes at all times. The court also held that the operation of the code was valid since it had been previously approved by the minister.
Accordingly, the objections were dismissed.

This application set out the test for determining the validity of an eviction order.
The applicant opposed an eviction order made under the Farm Dwellers Act of 1983 on grounds that it was unlawful. The respondents disputed the court's jurisdiction. However, the court held that it had the jurisdiction to hear the matter and noted that its jurisdiction was only ousted as a court of first instance
In granting the order to the applicant, the court cited Hoageys Handicraft (PTY) Ltd and Another/Rose Marshall Vilane where the requirements for a lawful eviction in Swaziland were set out.
First, there must be a judgment of a court with jurisdiction to grant an order for eviction. Secondly, there must be a valid, warrant directing the Sheriff to evict the respondent from the premises. Thirdly, there must be a valid appointment and authorisation of the deputy sheriff, for the express purpose of executing a warrant of ejectment or eviction. Lastly, the execution action must be conducted as authorised in the warrant of ejectment or eviction.
The court granted the application, with an order of costs.

WorldFusionJazzHipHopEDMEthnotronica: It's impossible to describe Beats Antique using just a single genre. One listen to their forthcoming album, Shadowbox (released on their own Antique Records imprint), and their unique hybrid of sound makes perfect sense; their ability to blend so many different kinds of music in to an incredibly vibrant, distinctive and peerless album is what this band has been doing for the past ten years.
Mostly recorded at their studio in Oakland (which has been around since the 50s and, take note trivia fans, was where "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" was recorded), the Bay Area band also recorded in Russia and Israel. "We were lucky to record in both Moscow and Tel Aviv, because we had shows there and wanted to connect with the local artists. We had amazing sessions in both locations; In Moscow we recorded on the outskirts of the city in a wild Industrial complex. We ended up going through strange corridors into this plush bamboo-floored-Hare-Krishna-owned recording studio with state of the art gear. When we were in Tel Aviv, we gave a call to a local legend Yossi Fine and he helped us get time at Pluto Studios, which is one of the best in the city. We recorded with Talya Solan and her amazing group of musicians. We used elements of the Tel Aviv session to create our track "Bdna Salam," which is raising money for Syrian refugees." Along with Talya other features on Shadowbox include Lafa Taylor, Alam Khan, Tatiana Kalmykova, brasshouse trio Too Many Zooz (who are touring with Beats Antique), Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Dana Elle, Madoline Tasquin and Medium Troy Orchestra.

In order to grow a successful business a key aspect is to ensure you know your numbers, and so it is extremely important that your bookkeeping and reporting to the ATO are done accurately and on time. Most small to medium businesses start out of a passion for something they are good at, or necessity. Either way at some point as the business grows you need to recognise the importance associated with engaging a competent, qualified, and trustworthy bookkeeping business to assist you to ensure your businesses finances are where they need to be.
All too often we hear the same stories, "my wife does the books, but hates it", "I used to do them but it got too much", or "I spend my nights and weekends working through statements and invoices when I should be relaxing".
As bookkeepers, our role is to assist you with the day to day running and recording of all matters associated with your financial records, payments of accounts, financial transactions, payroll, issuing of invoices, tracking and recording of any outstanding debts, and ensuring you report accurately to the Australian Tax Office.
A good bookkeeping takes skill and adds value to a business. The changes in technology and Australian Taxation Laws require bookkeepers to stay ahead of the game. An experienced bookkeeper will continue to learn and upskill and can assist you by consolidating your records into efficient systems that allow for accurate recording, tracking and reporting.
It is estimated 75% of all business that start will fail within the first five years. One of the major reasons can be tracked to the financial running and accounting practices (or lack of), adopted by the business owner.
All too often we find business owners too busy to keep track of their invoices and monies owed resulting in loss of cash flow, which usually signals an end to the business.
Accounting platforms like Xero, MYOB, Quickbooks and Reckon are all online cloud accounting software programs that allow you to reconcile and send invoices with ease and consistency. Your time is valuable and you should recognise that spending your nights and weekends completing you bookwork takes away family time and focusing on your business and what you are good at.
Perth Bookkeeping Services provides you with the opportunity of establishing sound bookkeeping practices and accurate records from day one. If your invoicing is completed on time and followed up your cash flow should remain constant, allowing you the peace of mind in knowing exactly how your business is tracking.
An additional benefit of engaging our bookkeeping services is that we are separate from accountants. "Our fees are generally more affordable". We can work alongside your accountant or refer you to one if required. It's sometimes peace of mind to not have all your eggs in one basket.
Call us today and get your business back on track!

Further archaeological study requested at golf…
Further archaeological study requested at golf course site
Rolling Hills Country ClubÕs 228-acre project includes ChandlerÕs Palos Verdes Sand and Gravel facility, as well as adjacent vacant land. Because there are a minimum of eight documented archaeological sites, mostly pertaining to the Tongva tribe who lived in the area prior to the arrival of the Spaniards, the city of Rolling Hills Estates is requesting a monitoring team, which is to include a tribe member and an archaeologist, during the preconstruction phase. Some residents believe there should be more testing prior to construction.
By Mary Scott |
PUBLISHED: August 25, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. | UPDATED: May 25, 2021 at 6:18 a.m.
RHE – The Rolling Hills Country Club has filed its application with the city of Rolling Hills Estates requesting zone changes and general plan amendments for its 228-acre project, which includes 114 new single-family homes, a reconfigured 18-hole golf course designed by golf legend Arnold Palmer, and a new 61,000-square-foot clubhouse.
The proposed project would use the club's existing property, as well as that of Chandler's Palos Verdes Sand and Gravel facility and adjacent vacant land.
Because there are documented prehistoric sites within the project site, and in light of a recent discovery nearby, the city of RHE, if it approves the project, will require that an archaeological monitor and a Native American representative be present at the site during demolition and grading phases of construction, and during any activity that will disturb the soil.
Monitors will use the standard archaeological method of trenching, which will provide up to a 3-percent sample of the area tested.
This is a change from the original plan.
"In the re-circulated environmental impact report, the mitigation measure for cultural resources was modified to require additional testing prior to construction," RHE Principal Planner Niki Cutler said.
But some feel that these modified measures still are inadequate to cover the large, proposed project.
"The battle is to see how much we can study this site and rescue what's down there before they start the construction," RHE resident Gary Johnson said.
It was Johnson who made the recent discovery of what is believed to be a 3,000-year-old occupation site. The location, now named Thunderhawk Hill, is near the club's proposed project site. Johnson told the News that he believes the two areas are connected.
"We know there are human remains down there. It's in the EIR; they know that remains were found there 50 years ago. … We are assuming, and it is an assumption, that there's a lot more down there, because we know they're not separated little sites," he continued. "That doesn't make any sense. It is one part of a huge occupation area."
One point Johnson and Dr. Carl Lipo, an associate professor in California State University, Long Beach's anthropology department, make regarding the EIR is that the consultant, McKenna et al, an archaeological company in Whittier, did not test deep enough below the surface during the review process in 2006. The human remains discovered in 1960 by D.L. True were 8 to 15 feet below the surface. Subsurface testing of this site by McKenna did not go to those depths.
In a letter to Cutler, Lipo wrote that with the historically documented buried material and the new find at Thunderhawk Hill, there is a "significant chance of encountering cultural resources" at the site during work on the project that could be negatively affected or destroyed.
"Given the importance of prehistoric remains to our understanding of the history of the region and rarity of intact archaeological deposits in the intensely developed Los Angeles basin, it is vital that all possible precautions be taken before and during the project development process," he wrote.
Lipo asked the city to use multiple experts to examine any samples during the pre-construction phase, and to consider other excavation techniques at the site.
Lipo recommended small-hole coring, seismic sensing, magnetometry and ground penetrating radar, all of which are nondestructive and would provide better testing at deeper depths and for a larger area.
"Future work should be conducted to best evaluate the area for buried deposits as informed by an accurate reconstruction of the historic and prehistoric landscape and all appropriate techniques (not just trenching) should be put into use to make this possible," Lipo wrote.
Previous finds
One of the most significant finds of prehistoric artifacts in Southern California was that in the Malaga Cove area in Palos Verdes Estates in the 1930s.
Edwin Walker and a group of Eagle Scouts uncovered artifacts at depths of 36 feet that were carbon-dated up to 7,100 years old.
Many residents since have found pieces in their backyards.
In 1961, according to the News archives, PVE resident Larry Ames found remnants of a village in his backyard during the construction of a tennis club just behind his home.
Dr. William Wallace, then a professor at Long Beach State University, conducted the excavation of the Ames' property. The dig yielded several hundred pieces, including soapstone bowls, mortars and pestles, projectile points, blades, scrappers and three human skeletal remains.
Ames became an avid amateur archaeologist after that and assisted Wallace in other areas.
Most finds, Ames told the News in 1964, are "family curios" and "are valueless."
"Unless they are uncovered systematically, they tell nothing of the culture that existed there," he said.
During Wallace's time excavating the Peninsula, he determined that the area was heavily populated from Lunada Bay in PVE to Point Vicente and Long Point in Rancho Palos Verdes prior to the arrival of the Spaniards.
In 1971, concerned that these sites would be lost forever to development, Wallace told the Los Angeles Times that "of the 70 known sites only about half-dozen to a dozen have been left untouched."
Only a few of those sites, he said, were investigated before the land was developed.
"I think when they put the golf course down it will still be preserved underneath," Johnson said. "But putting foundations in for homes – it's going to be a different story. … Once there are houses there, it's lost forever."
RHCC's application is on the RHE Planning Commission agenda for Tuesday, Sept. 7.

I think the answer is yes on both counts.
Well..it was a boundary every line. A sixer every ten.
The only thing missing was a bowl of Indian curry in the British plot.
Why would anyone name a game after a grasshopper? Oh, and where is the skill involved in a game where the bat is big and flat? I mean, how hard can it be to hit the ball with a bat like that?
Also, even if you don't like the thrust of the plot or the characters, there are enough one-liners and brilliant use of language to make up for it. In my book, anyway.

iCloud is the essential part of iOS for almost 5 years and it's still a must-have backup and sync service for iPhone and iPad users. Just like the rest of iOS features, iCloud is well-designed, simplistic, user-friendly, and it does its job flawlessly. At least, most of the time.
Namely, some users reported a stall within iCloud Photo Library. They were unable to update recent photos or videos for no apparent reason. In order to help you, we enlisted a few trusted workarounds. If you have had alike or similar issues, make sure to check them out below.
In this and similar scenarios, it's quite obvious to go for the restart. Even though iOS and iOS-powered devices are celebrated for overall stability in regard to pre-installed features, occasionally something goes wrong. So, the first step to take is to follow the instructions below and restart your device. After that, maybe the uploading deadlock ends.
If just a simple restart isn't sufficient to address the issue at hand, you can always apply the same medicine to update-related features. Namely, you should navigate to iCloud and disable iCloud Photo Library which is cloud storage part dedicated to photos. After that, you can re-enable it and look for changes.
Tap your account name/Apple ID.
Toggle Off iCloud Photo Library.
Follow the same path and re-enable iCloud Photo Library.
If even that fell short and your photos just won't upload to iCloud Photo Library, there are additional steps you should take into consideration.
This procedure is screaming "time-consuming annoyance!" but it is as it is. You're stuck with your iCloud misbehaving like an obnoxious child and previous steps are, obviously, underwhelming. However, don't worry, your Camera Roll photos are not endangered. We only need to clear photos and videos stored on iCloud. If you ask yourself "why?", the answer is simple: due to corrupted photo or video, all others suffer. One rotten apple (pun not intended) and everything suddenly goes south.
Make sure that all photos you need are either on phone storage or safely backed up on PC or Mac.
Use your computer to access iCloud and delete all photos and videos.
All photos from your device storage should start uploading and everything should be resolved.
Finally, if you're still stuck in the iCloud's purgatory, you still have one last resort. Yes, it's the factory reset. If the problem somehow surpassed reinitialization, the hard reset should be the right tool for the job.
This will erase all of your data, so be sure to back it up before performing the reset.
Later on, you should choose Restore from the iCloud Backup feature, and retrieve your data.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes app on your PC.
That should be it. Don't forget to share your questions or alternative solutions with us and other readers in the comments section below. We'll appreciate it. Thanks for reading.
If this type if problem arises with the iCloud then there is one option to off the Toggle for the iCloud Photo Library from the phone settings and restart your device. If still there is any problem with it and the photo uploading on iCloud are stuck then consult with the Hotmail Customer Service get the permanent solution.

"I am so unbelievably happy to see Shiro as our representation," one fan tweeted.
Fans of popular Netflix animated series Voltron: Legendary Defender are celebrating the news that one of the show's main characters is gay.
The announcement was made during a panel discussion at San Diego Comic-Con, with showrunner Lauren Montgomery revealing that character Takashi 'Shiro' Shirogane is gay, according to reports from comicbook.com.
She also hinted that fans of the show will soon meet a new character, Adam, who Shiro was once ready to marry before breaking it off.
Season 7 has a major moment. So, SPOILER ALERT!!!!!
THIS is why Shiro being gay is so important. No joke this interview made me tear up. I still can't believe it.
"He's not married yet," Montgomery said.
"But that was the road they were going down until Shiro made the unfortunate decision [to leave], and they drifted apart and that was the end… for their relationship.
Trans actress Nicole Maines will play the role.
"It was definitely something, that beautiful relationship that had developed over years.
"You'll see in that little case with the trophies is a picture of Shiro and Adam," she added.
Originally airing in 1986, the series was rebooted by Netflix in 2016 and is about to release its seventh and penultimate season.
Was Mary Magdalene married to Jesus and why does it matter?


It was 1994, when the Sting audio CD was first bought online for $12.48. Amazon was then more of a search engine and the term online market place was still eluding the puberty. We have come a long way from there. The internet has become a phenomenon and ecommerce its produce.
The winter is coming and even if it doesn't take a thousand years to be the coldest one, it does bring cold winds with it. But for the realm of the ecommerce entrepreneurs winter gets hotter and hotter. The winter is never cold for them!
The 4th Quarter every year brings in the opportunities for the online retailers as it instigates a shopping spree starting from October with Halloween and continues till Christmas! The winter commerce turns the tables in terms of revenue generation for all the online players. The sales multiply as soon as the festival commences. It is one of the biggest festive events that takes place in the world. With a healthy US Economy, lesser unemployment and increase in incomes, it is estimated that the people would buy more again this year. You knew that all, alright!
More connected devices - simple!
Over 8 Billion smartphones across the world embark the expectancy of a gigantic shift towards online sales. And the festive season is the grand finale to equal the scores.
The winter shopping season which began with Halloween and it is to be followed by the holiday weekend of Thanksgiving (23 November), Black Friday (24 November) & Cyber Monday (27 November). Should there be any better time to cover up (or catch up) for all the losses you may have bared the entire year. You can attract the customers with massive discounts and give your users the ease of shopping at their convenience by providing a hassle-free user experience.
It's not an easy task and all you eCom players flex your muscles and grab the opportunity as the winter holidays are the final year on cap on your revenue. It has been often seen that the black Friday to cyber monday are capable of making or breaking the entire fiscal revenue forecast of a business. The eComm players need to be innovative to succeed in this event where customers are looking for a healthy deal which suits them.
The Halloween shopping kicked off this year's winter commerce. The overall number of online sales do indicate that the christmas would definitely be merry for eComs. You know your numbers and you sure can compare them with last year's. What did you get right? And, what you did not? Is your relative comparison ratio better, or lower? Well, these are the numbers you know. For the ones you do not, run Surveys. Who else knows better than your buyer about these details anyway?
Many users couldn't relate with the offers and the Product combination packages. Few of them found better deals on other stores or perhaps the keywords were not optimized correctly for searching a particular product on your store. Some couldn't find relevant products on your store. All these result in a low conversion ratio. The time is now to discover them, to rectify them.
You can always learn from the failures and give the customers something better while focusing on improvements. The first thing for improvement is to know your mistakes and next step is to transform your weakness into your strength as the shopping season has just started. You need to be prepared for your Christmas to be Merry.
Get 1+ Product in Cart!
The festive season is about heavy discounts, mouth watering offers and sales! The celebration is worth only if people feel they shopped at discounted rates and gained some freebies. During the November sale people look forward to buy gift cards & certificates, jewellery, books, electronic goods, candies, decorative goods. The season also kicks off the winter breeze and they look forward to buy all the winter accessories. Warm leather jackets and gum boots.
The users can be allured with some spooky make-over of the landing page which pops up the festive offers. Combos of two or three products can be clubbed together at a discounted rate fixed by you, which may include the most selling and the least selling product. Or let's say, if the user buys from the same segment or brand and the bill goes beyond $100, the user gets a discount of 10%.
You can also look to provide direct coupon codes, using them the users can avail discounts or cashbacks upto certain margins. Offers for the first time users and some referral codes from friends too allow some discounts. All this requires automation and a tool which makes your work as a manager easy.
A language translator is an extension tool which allows you to delimit complexities of cultural and geographical barriers. The Halloween and the entire winter festival is celebrated across almost all over the globe. But not all of those countries and their people speak the same tongue. For your eCommerce store to be earning more it needs to be serving all those people and it needs to translate the source language into the target language.
Reach More to Gain More!
Considering the second largest market of the world and the largest during the winter sale, the European Union itself has 27 countries and many of the member countries have more than one local languages. To target maximum number of people a language translation extension is a must for your store.
Some online stores lack this feature and only the currencies are translated leaving the product description in english. This leaves the user frustrated and impacts the business negatively. Retailers make this mistake in the short sighted vision of saving some money. You shouldn't overlook the fact that a complete translation can generate more revenue as it empowers you to take your stores services to more and more people and the better the chances of your ROI.
Something that gets ignored too often!
Managing a mammoth eComm traffic and the delivery of those products during a festive season is a serious task. The customers tend to become very choosy about the delivery date. You can let your customers to personalize their shipping dates, delivery dates using delivery date extension tools with which your users can format dates, time, national holidays, weekend days, time range, and can even comment delivery notes.
Delivery time & date is a user-oriented feature. It is really easy to use incorporated in the frontend. Customers can choose delivery date & time and they can also choose predefined comments that can cope up automatically. It is also planned easily after shipping method segment that brings the finest logic for customers.
This reduces the rejection rate that can occur when you allow the users to choose when they want delivery. The flexibility you provide your users will become your unique selling point. Your customers would love it because they wouldn't be receiving calls from your delivery men, they would be allowed to track their orders seamlessly and all your resources would be utilized with maximum efficiency.
"How to make this year better?" is the critical question Product Managers are often encountered with.
There are no ready recknors in Digital space. You do the math based on the numbers your business produces. You take decisions based on that data available to you. Online Survey and post-season analysis are just as critical as the pre-season meetup to ascertain the strategy.


America's love affair with the open road has grown to become its love affair with recreational vehicles. Today, there are over 30 million RV enthusiasts, and more on the way. With more than 16,000 publicly and privately owned campgrounds nationwide, RVs give us the freedom to roam from coast to coast and any stop in between. But getting safely from here to there takes planning.
Make sure your vehicle can safely tow an RV. Most full and mid-size family cars can pull a trailer, and so can today's popular vans, 4x4s and light-duty trucks. The Recreation Vehicle Industry Association suggests that you discuss these basic factors with your RV and auto dealers when evaluating trailer/tow vehicle options: engine horsepower; transmission and axle capacity; cooling equipment; suspension; springs and shocks; power brakes; power steering; and battery capacity.
- Check the owner's manual to find the trailer types that your vehicle can haul and the maximum load weight it can pull. Obtain a "trailering guide" for your vehicle.
- You'll also want to follow your RV dealer's advice on the type and size of hitch and ball, tire inflation and anti-sway devices.
- If you tow a boat, get the right-sized trailer to minimize swaying.
- Make sure your trailer has the right tires. Never use automotive radial tires on a boat or other trailer. Carry a spare.
- If you're thinking of buying an RV, call 1-888-GO-RVING.
Make a thorough check of your vehicle and trailer when you use it.
- Be sure vehicle and trailer are hitched correctly.
- Connect brakes and signal lights. Always check that the trailer's brakes, turn signals and tail lights work and are synchronized with the towing vehicle's.
- Check tire pressure, and lug nuts for tightness.
- Don't overload the towing vehicle or the trailer. Check the manuals. Place a slightly higher percentage of cargo weight toward the front of the trailer. This will improve the connection by increasing weight on the hitch.
- Balance the load from side to side, and secure it so it won't shift.
- Once the trailer is loaded, make sure all doors are closed and secure. Be sure safety chains are attached, in good condition, and not dragging on the ground.
- On the road, steer as little as possible to avoid swaying. Try to avoid applying the brakes suddenly. It's better to release the gas pedal and slow down naturally.
- Trailer tires can get very hot while in use, especially tires on smaller trailers. Follow the manufacturer's directions for recommended maximum speeds. On hot days travel under the speed limit.
- Check and grease your trailer's wheel bearings once a year, and after each immersion in water.
Whether driving a motorized RV, or towing a travel trailer, special precautions are required.
- Before leaving on a trip, sit in the driver's seat and adjust all mirrors for optimal road views. Equip a towing vehicle with large mirrors for the fenders on both sides.
- Check for leaks in propane gas bottles, heating equipment, and related tubing. Turn off all valves.
- Load tools and emergency and foul weather items in an accessible location in the towing vehicle.
- While moving, don't let anyone stay in the towed vehicle. It is dangerous and illegal in many states.
- Allow for your vehicle size when turning.
- Increase your normal following distance.
- Allow more time to brake, change lanes, and enter a busy road, since bigger vehicles take more time to accelerate and slow down.
- After passing, allow plenty of room before changing lanes again.
- Most trailering mishaps occur when going downhill and the trailer begins pushing the towing vehicle. When descending steep hills it is important to use a lower gear to achieve some braking action from the engine rather than depending solely on the braking system.
- Back up with care. Use someone outside the vehicle to assist the driver. If there's no one to help, get out and inspect the area.
- Always carry tire changing instructions when you travel.

Unilever 3Q Comparable Sales Rise 2.6%, Below Expectations
By Adria CalatayudDow Jones Newswires
Consumer goods giant Unilever PLC (ULVR.LN) reported Thursday a 2.6% rise in comparable sales for the third quarter of 2017, below market expectations, as the company said its full-year and strategic targets are on track.
The owner of brands including Dove, Hellmann's and Lipton said its third-quarter turnover was 13.2 billion euros ($15.5 billion). Profit figures for the period weren't disclosed.
Unilever's sales on an underlying basis--stripping out the impact of acquisitions, disposals and exchange-rate changes--slowed from its second-quarter growth of 3%. The company said the sales rise was driven by emerging markets growth of 6.3%, in contrast with a 2.3% decrease in developed markets. Volumes grew 0.2% and prices were up 2.4%.
Unilever said overall market conditions remain challenging and, despite seeing signs of improvement in emerging markets including China and India, disruption from natural disasters in the Americas and poorer weather in Europe adversely affected the third quarter.
The Anglo-Dutch company also backed its full-year guidance of 3%-5% underlying sales growth and underlying margin improvement of at least 100 basic points.
The consumer products group added that it is making good progress towards its strategic targets. Plans for the integration of foods and refreshments into a single business are advancing well, and preparations for an exit from the spreads business via a sale or demerger is fully on track, Unilever said. In April, Unilever launched a broad restructuring which included the divestment of its margarine and spreads unit, in the wake of a $143 billion takeover approach by Kraft Heinz Co. (KHC) earlier in the year.

Q: RegEx get last match of a date format from string inside a Google Sheets cell My objective is to extract a date string and following characters using Regex in Google Sheets (sheets function: regexextract) where the string is the last line of a cell and starts with a date format "yyyy-DD-MM" followed by ":".
So the RegExpression that I currently have looks like:
\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}:.+
This works fine but it returns the first match. Instead I want to start at the end of the cell and extract the last match when there are multiple date strings.  This is because the contents are stored ascending by date inside the cell.
Sample cell:
2020-05-20: Status update blah blah
2020-05-27: PO Issued blah blah

Result requested:
I want the end result to be a string starting with date and the characters that follow "2020-05-27: PO Issued blah blah" which is the last result. However I always get the first match which in the example above is: "2020-05-20: Status update blah blah"
Also I'm doing this in google sheets using regexextract() which shouldn't make a difference in the regex but just wanted to mention it.
Edit: I found out Sheets is using RE2 so I guess it did make a difference.

A: You may use
=REGEXEXTRACT(A1, "(?m)^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}:.*\z")

See the RE2 regex demo and the Google Sheets screenshot:

The (?m)^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}:.*\z regex matches

*

*(?m) - a MULTILINE modifier that makes ^ match start of a line and $ match end of a line

*^ - start of a line

*\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}:.* -  4 digits, -, 2 digit, -, 2 digits, : and then rest of the line since . does not match line break chars by default

*\z - the very end of the string (it is not affected by the (?m) modifier).

Note that (?s).*\n(\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}:.*) I suggested in the top comment below the question will match  the last lines starting with a date, see a regex demo.

NoLa Rising Founder Escapes Worst of Trumped Up City Charges May 22, 2008
Tags: Fred Radtke, graffiti, Grey Ghost, Micheal Dingler, New Orleans, NOLA, NOLA Rising, public art, Rex, vandalism
Updated again on 5/23 11:00 am
No word yet on NOLA.com but NoLa Rising founder and artist Micheal Dingler reports on his own site he triumphed over city-sanctioned graffiti vandal Fred Radtke (a.k.a. The Grey Ghost), who had used his connections to the NOPD to have municipal charges filed against Dingler for the posting of public art at sites in New Orleans.
This is good news for Dingler, whom Radtke arranged to have charged with 1,100 counts of unlawfully posting signs, charges that could have resulted in $50,000 in fines. Dingler reports in his brief post that Radtke stormed out of the courtroom when charges were dismissed.
Now, to get the real public menace–Radtke–off the streets and in court where he belongs.
Update:The outcome, as reported by New Orleans CitiBusiness (but not by the Times-Picayune or NOLA.Com) is not as good as I had hoped. Dingler had to agree to pay $200 in fines and to stop posting his artworks in public places.
Radtke, as the series of stories in CitiBusiness points out, remains free to deface public and private property with impunity and the support of the N.O.P.D. The net outcome is that Radtke has won. NoLa Rising is no longer free to post free public art in public places. This is ridiculous.
I encourage you to write to the City Council and encourage them to amend the graffiti and bill posting ordinances to grant a clear freedom for groups like NoLa Rising to post transient artworks in public places If Radtke can have the city's blessing, then so should NoLa Rising.
N.B.– I've changed the headline a bit to be more realistic
Update No. 2–Michael Dingler gives a detailed account on the NoLa Rising blog.
Legalized Vandalism and Vigilantism in New Orleans January 21, 2008

What a mean spirited little golum is this Fred Radtke? A vigilante who dashes gray paint over public and private property wherever he spots graffiti or advertising posters, who is allowed to roam the streets with impunity and deface public and private property at whim, sometimes covering public safety signs (stop signs, for example) in his demented quest to cover all of the city's graffiti.
An interesting turn of urban life is all it was, until Radtke took off after folk artist Michael Dingler and his NOLA Rising project. Today's Citibusiness weekly reports that Radtke initiated a complaint and resulted in Dingler be charged with 1,100 counts of unlawfully posting signs on telephone poles that could cost him more than $50,000 in fines.
Dingler explains his act of civic art making on the NOLA Rising blog in a June 2007 posting. This is a public art installation, not criminal activity. Sadly, the N.O.P.D. seems to agree with Radtke, who's own clearl acts of vandalism of public and private property they condone and even encourage.
The New Orleans Police Department, however, condones Radtke's actions. NOPD often calls him directly to cover graffiti and spokesman Sgt. Joe Narcisse said they have no intention of charging Radtke with any crimes.
Here's an interesting response from street artist unknownparts which found on Flickr.
I can't believe that the city has given tens of thousands of dollars to some mean-spirited freak so he can spread his own form of ugly paint-based vandalism all over public and private property at his own whim. I have no problem with the city removing or covering obvious gang tags. However, by going after street artists like the NOLA Rising group or even unknownparts and his sort–artists who appropriate public space for what is arguably art–Radtke is no different than the tagger thugs.
This is insane. I just fired of a letter to my City Council Person Shelly Midura demanding Radtke be required to return the tens of thousands of city tax dollars he's been given, that all charges against Dingler be dropped, and that the N.O.P.D officers who colluded in Radtke's vendetta against Dingler should be required to apologize, if not in fact be fired for their collusion in Radkte's own campaign of vandalism.
What NOLA Rising has done is a tremendous work of civic betterment, one tiny poster at a time, contributed to by tens if not hundreds of people. It is a bright spot in the gray landscape of our continuing disaster, a landscape not improved one bit by Radtke's own gray tags. It is not Dingler that should be stopped and punished but Radtke, and everyone in city government–in City Hall or the N.O.P.D–who has supported him

Buyer Beware of The Fakes
Introduction By BillieBLVD
If you have been to any warm beach in the Caribbean you have seen peddlers on the street selling fake Cubans (look for the wooden box with the glass top). Many non-smokers that know a cigar smoker are faced with the opportunity to procure forbidden fruit. They offer their money in exchange for a smile on the face as they pass a well thought out gift to their beloved cigar smoker when they get home, But that does not happen, The cigar smoker must inform the kind hearted sucker that he or she has been swindled. This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to impact of fake Cuban cigars, fake French wine, and fake whiskey (or whisky). Barcodes on cigar bands have been used, serial numbers on bottles, phone apps that can read unique identifiers and countless other methods have been deployed but the madness of fakeness marches on, In the linked article they start with a fake wine factory and I can only imagine what the fake cigar facility must look like.
Directly from MPRnews.com
On an early spring day in 2012, a half-dozen FBI agents entered a house in the Los Angeles suburb of Arcadia. It belonged to an Indonesian named Rudy Kurniawan.
According to Maureen Downey, founder of winefraud.com, his home was kept to 55 degrees. "His elderly mother had to have a space heater in her bedroom because it was so damned cold," says Downey. "The entire house was cellar temperature."
Inside the FBI found everything to produce counterfeit wine: corks, dozens of empty bottles and 18,000 labels of the world's rarest wines.
"The whole thing was a wine counterfeiting factory," says Downey.
By the time of his arrest, the then 37-year-old Kurniawan had been living the high life. He had amassed a breathtaking cellar of Bordeauxs and Burgundys and regularly organized tastings of old and expensive bottles for other collectors. At the same time, the FBI says Kurniawan was concocting his own wines in his kitchen and selling them as precious vintages to unsuspecting collectors.
"Take for example one of the most highly counterfeited wines, which is 1945 Domaine de la Romanee Conti Romanee Conti," Downey says. "That wine, they made two barrels of it, which is exactly 600 bottles."

The commoditised carbon credits trading markets experienced its best year to date in 2008. In spite of the global economic crisis, analysts believe 2009 will be another prosperous year for trading. Ozge Ibrahim finds out why.
Ozge Ibrahim
Trading in carbon credits has become a key part of efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions and ultimately fight global warming. Europe's most successful carbon trading platform, the European Climate Exchange (ECX), became the most liquid carbon place in Europe not long after launching its futures contract on carbon dioxide emissions in April 2005. (ECX futures and options contracts have both EU allowances (EUA's) and Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) as their underlying units of trade). More than 90 global businesses have signed up for membership on ICE Futures Europe to trade ECX emissions products. In addition, several thousand ICE clients around the world have trading access to the emissions market daily via banks and brokers.
The voluntary carbons market, which relies on company investment, is experiencing mixed fortunes, due to lack of credit as the global economy weakens. Even though prices on the main voluntary exchange remain strong, the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) has fallen sharply in recent months. While this market is likely to experience a tough year ahead, the commodities market goes from strength to strength.
"In the New Energy for America plan, $150bn will be pumped into alternative, renewable technology."
Speaking at a press conference last month, ECX CEO Patrick Birley said that despite falling credit rates, 2008 was a "phenomenal" year and that 2009 will represent "huge opportunities" in the sector. Louis Redshaw who heads Barclays Capital's Emissions Trading business says he believes there will be growth in 2009, which will increase spot activity. As a result of confidence in the market, ECX plans to launch spot contracts later in the year.
What lies behind such optimism as expressed by Patrick Birley and other industry names is a new political era in the US. The new climate friendly US President Barack Obama is expected to take a leading role in global climate change policy, leading to a growing interest from a wide range of countries and organisations to follow the US example. According to Birley Barack Obama's appointment will increase the chance of commitment to climate change policy from high polluters India and China.
President Obama's domestic targets have been laid out as such. In the New Energy for America plan, $150bn will be pumped into alternative, renewable technology and production over ten years. As part of this plan, by 2012, 10% of America's energy will come from renewables and 25% by 2025. The target for reducing greenhouse gases is 80% by 2050.
"Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Japan are moving forward rapidly, collectively demonstrating 84% growth across their markets."
According to the ECX, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Japan are moving forward rapidly, collectively demonstrating 84% growth across their markets in 2008. But the start of 2008 has seen Australia's Government, led by Kevin Rudd, come under intense pressure to delay or soften its emissions trading scheme in light of the economic crisis and mounting job losses. Any change in the Australian policy could affect the cap at which emissions allowances and credits are set, which in turn would impact carbon trading in the country and beyond.
While prospects for traders on the commodities market look good in 2009, there has been criticism of the effectiveness of some trading schemes, particularly the clean development mechanism (CDM).
According to the United Nations Framework on Climate Change (UNFCC), the CDM allows emission-reduction projects in developing countries to earn certified emission reduction (CER) credits, each equivalent to one ton of CO². The CER's can be traded and sold, and used by industrialised countries to meet a part of their targets under the Kyoto Protocol. The CDM assists countries in achieving sustainable development and emission reductions, while giving industrialised countries some flexibility in how they meet their emission targets.
Speaking this month at the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi, vice chairman of Deutsche Bank group and former German minister Caio Koch Weser said: "Financing abatement in the developing world is key and the CDM is well established to do that but it is very expensive and inefficient. One of the key issues at Copenhagen this year will be reforming the CDM into a scaled-up programmatic approach."
"Financing abatement in the developing world is key and the CDM is well established to do that but it is very expensive and inefficient."
Executives on the CDM board also agree improvements can be made. Chair of Executive Board Rajesh Kumar Sethi says the board must "with renewed urgency" address the task of improving the CDM in 2009.
"Simply, the CDM must run better; delays must gradually disappear. The material impact of procedural requirements may be revisited, while maintaining the environmental integrity of the CDM", says Sethi.
Changes to the CDM and other parts of the Kyoto pact will be debated and decided upon at Copenhagen where leaders from 170 countries are expected to gather in December. With the US expected to take a more significant role in global climate change policy, decision makers at the Copenhagen conference will be under huge pressure to come up with a workable package, which can build on the current success of the carbon credits trading market, impose realistic caps on carbon emissions across the board while tackling the obstacles of global recession.
