Building pathways for students in AR and VR
By Meta Careers
How did the unique life experiences of four different women lead them to create opportunities for students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds? Sun C., a supply chain manager at Meta, was the first in her family to get an education beyond primary school, and nothing stopped her from achieving her dream. Ruth B. started life in an orphanage during the Lebanese Civil War. She was later adopted by an American couple who helped her find her true life passion—giving back to her community. These women would eventually meet Elisabeth M. and Jocelyn C. at Meta, where they would harness their collective passions to create programs that help underrepresented students.
The Women of Reality Labs Steering Committee empowers and enables women on the Reality Labs team by building and developing an inclusive community through professional development, peer support, and community outreach. Its Education Committee, led by Sun C., Ruth B., Elisabeth M., and Jocelyn C., focuses on curriculum and educational programs for girls, under-represented groups and under-resourced students who are interested in careers in tech and gaming.
The Education Committee collaborates closely with community organizations, schools and nonprofits. Committee members also volunteer outside of their regular work hours and host students on campus for workshops, hackathons, career panels, and tech talks. Working cross-functionally with teams from hardware, software, operations and creative, the committee aims to share not only career achievements, but also obstacles and hardships.
"We want students to understand that there are many different paths towards a career, which can be as unique as a person's personality. Sometimes, the road to success isn't always easy, linear or straight-forward. There can be many obstacles and unexpected turns and twists, but with hard work, dedication, perseverance and resilience, they can achieve anything they set their minds to," says Sun C.
In February, the Education Committee hosted its seventh career day event. They brought together students from a Bay Area middle school with Meta software engineers, program managers, electrical engineers, designers and product researchers for a day of workshops and presentations on a variety of topics. Students learned how to identify and combat cyberbullying, talked about different career journeys, heard how products and games are designed and experienced an Oculus Go demo first hand.

Each of the founding members has a unique background that has shaped their identities and paths. Read on to learn more about their journeys.
Sun C.: Empowered by her own education
Sun immigrated to the United States with her parents from Cambodia in 1979 with only the clothes on their backs and big hopes of achieving the American dream. Although Sun's parents were only able to attend primary school before the war and genocide broke out in Cambodia, they understood the importance of education as a mechanism for opening doors to opportunities that were not available to them. Sun became the first person in her family to attend college—earning both bachelor's and master's degrees from UCLA in 2000 and UCSD 2004, respectively. Prior to joining Meta, Sun worked at several other major tech companies. Today, she has more than 13 years of experience managing overseas factories in China and launching new consumer electronics products in the global marketplace. She joined the Meta Quest team in 2016 and is a supply chain manager.

Ruth B.: Sharing her gift of music and mentorship
Shortly after she was born during the Lebanese Civil War, Ruth was placed in an orphanage and was adopted by an American couple who helped her realize her musical gifts and pursue her extracurricular passions—giving back to those who need mentorship, support, and motivation to get through school. Ruth took her songs and guitar on the road and visited K-12 classrooms for four years, encouraging students to stay in school. She also developed a program that was promoted within the Miss America Organization, giving her a larger voice to help more students in need.
While completing her bachelor's and master's degrees at Stanford University, Ruth joined the company in 2014. She is a game and entertainment producer working to build the future of AR/VR content and has worked on a variety of successful games at Oculus, including notable titles like Dance Central, Marvel Powers United VR, as well as The People's House, which won an Emmy in the category for 360 VR film.
Ruth presents her music program in a Texas elementary school.
Elisabeth M.: Experienced the power of education first-hand
From a young age, Elisabeth loved spending time volunteering and tutoring at schools. She saw the power of education first-hand while working as an English as a Second Language (ESL) tutor in high school and college.
In 2018, Elisabeth joined the company to lead Sales Strategy and Operations. In her role, she focuses on building strategic plans and processes to drive Meta Quest and Meta Portal sales growth for the Reality Labs Global Sales organization. Elisabeth regularly dedicates time outside of the office to an organization called YearUp, where she empowers young adults from non-traditional backgrounds to build careers in tech.

Jocelyn C.: An appreciation for art and creativity
A few trips to California and a growing fascination with the diversity of Silicon Valley inspired Jocelyn to move from Asia to the San Francisco Bay Area. Born and raised in Taiwan, she founded a small company that developed database software in 2014—but she saw more promising business development and fundraising opportunities in the United States.
Jocelyn joined the company in 2017 as a strategic sourcing manager. Today, she develops and maintains relationships with contract manufacturers that build Quest's AR/VR hardware, ensuring products are built with superior quality at a competitive cost. Coming from a country where the education system focuses on exams and homework, Jocelyn appreciates programs that promote art and creativity. She's happy to have the privilege to give back to the community. Most recently, she helped organize a Game Design and Leadership Day, an Education Committee partnership with the Girl Scout of West Washington, where girls ages 11 to 13 learned how to program.

Diversity and inclusion are incredibly important values at Meta. As a company, we spend a lot of time discussing, building and creating opportunities for diverse perspectives both here and in the tech industry overall. There are many different ways to approach and address this issue. The Education Committee's approach is to start early, by reaching out to students in diverse socioeconomic areas and giving them a glimpse at how hard work, dedication, perseverance and resilience in education can take them far in life.

Solskjaer eyes strong finish as Everton lie in wait
Though eliminated from the Champions League, Manchester United coach Solskjaer does not believe his team have any added advantage by being able to concentrate solely on the Premiership.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has five games left in the Premier League season to prove conclusively that the club's hierarchy did not act too hastily in making him Jose Mourinho's permanent successor last month.
After a spectacular start as caretaker manager of the club, in which he won his first eight games and lost just one of his opening 17 matches in charge, United have since suffered a precipitous drop in form.
Five defeats have come in United's last seven games, a run which has seen them exit the FA Cup and Champions League and left a top-four finish in serious doubt.
Since former United striker Solskjaer was appointed to the position on a permanent basis in late March, the Reds have won two of five games, unconvincing 2-1 home victories against Watford and West Ham, and now face a potentially pivotal week in the league campaign.
"When we came in, on the 19th of December and where we're at now, I think anyone would have taken that now we've got five games to see if we can finish it off," said Solskjaer.
United's season ends with a visit to already-relegated Huddersfield and a home game against Cardiff - both of whom may have nothing to play for by the time the season reaches May.
But Sunday sees United visit Everton, conquerors of Chelsea and Arsenal in their last two home games, at the start of a week in which they also host title contenders City in the Manchester derby and then welcome Chelsea to Old Trafford at the weekend.
Those three games look likely to determine whether United will cement one of the two Champions League places for which they are competing, along with Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.
All three London clubs also have one eye on European semi-finals -- with Spurs having reached the last four of the Champions League in spectacular fashion against City in midweek and Arsenal and Chelsea both advancing in the Europa League.
United, meanwhile, were emphatically knocked out of the Champions League quarter-finals at Barcelona, although Solskjaer does not believe his team have any added advantage by being able to concentrate solely on the league.
"I think it will give them (United's rivals) a boost playing those games, that's what you want as a player," he said. "We'd have loved to have a semi-final to play in but not the case.
"These three games are our short-term focus and we shouldn't think about anything other than having a great week ahead of us." While United have stuttered in recent weeks, the fate of Mauricio Pochettino, the manager who was widely tipped to be United's number one choice following Mourinho's dismissal in December, could not have provided a greater contrast.
Meanwhile, Ainsley Maitland-Niles believes Arsenal's run to the Europa League semi-finals will aid their Premier League top four push against Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Unai Emery's side advanced to the last four on Thursday as Alexandre Lacazette's goal sealed a 1-0 win in Napoli and a 3-0 aggregate success.
Arsenal face Valencia in the semi-finals, with Emery aiming to win his fourth Europa League title and seal Champions League qualification in the process.
That would be an uplifting conclusion to Emery's first season with Arsenal, but if they fall short in the Europa League, the Gunners still have another route to the Champions League via a top four finish in the Premier League.
Currently in fourth place above Chelsea on goal difference, Arsenal have no margin for error in the league, but defender Maitland-Niles says his team have matured as a result of their European exploits and are now better at closing out matches.
"It's a tough league in England. We're learning different methods in Europe because sometimes we need to be more like the foreign teams and just grind out results. It's going well at the moment," he said.
"I think we're gelling together very well. The manager is working with a back four, a back five, so we all know positionally what to do, not to dive in the box and not to give silly fouls away around the box as well.
"We dug deep (against Napoli). You can score as many goals as you want but if you don't defend properly then the game could go either way." Since Hector Bellerin suffered a serious knee injury, Maitland-Niles has become Emery's first-choice down the right, whether as an orthodox right-back or in the wing-back position he played in Naples.
England Under-21 international Maitland-Niles praised the way Emery has nurtured his talent so far and also worked to improve the squad as a whole.
"That's what you need, for the manager to pat you on the back when you don't do well," he said ahead of Palace's visit to the Emirates Stadium.

Q: How to redirect to a route on ngOnit? I am trying to redirect to a route when user directly paste the url.
I want to direct the user to /en/sell page on hitting the url
http://localhost:3000/en/sell/confirmation
here is my code,
  ngOnInit() {
    this.storedListing = this.sellerFlow.getSellerFlowObject();
    if (this.storedListing === null) {
      this.router.navigate(['./']);
    }
  }

i can see this.router getting executed but the application does not have any change. what is the issue?

A: You have to use ../ if you want to go from /en/sell/confirmation to /en/sell/:
this.router.navigate(['../']);

See the documentation.

A: You could instead redirect from your routing:
{
    path: 'en/sell/confirmation',
    redirectTo: 'en/sell',
    pathMatch: 'full'
},

A: import {OnInit} from '@angular/core';
import {Router} from '@angular/router';

export class AddDisplay {
  constructor(private router: Router){}
  ngOnInit() {
    this.router.navigate(['./SomewhereElse']);
  }
}

A: You have to specify the relativeTo param, as below:
import { ActivatedRoute, Router } from '@angular/router';

constructor(private route: ActivatedRoute, private router: Router) { }

ngOnInit() {
  this.storedListing = this.sellerFlow.getSellerFlowObject();
  if (this.storedListing === null) {
    this.router.navigate(['../'], { relativeTo: this.route });
  }
}

Q: vuejs hamburger menu using nav-collapse needs to be high contrast I am trying to make the hamburger menu in high contrast for accessibility.
I've tried the following code in vue-js:
 <b-navbar-toggle target="nav-collapse" style="color:#000 !important; background-color: #fff !important; opacity: 1.0 !important; " ></b-navbar-toggle> <!-- hamburger menu -->

However, although the background becomes white; the lines of the hamburger menu become gray instead of black.  This means there is less contrast.
I've tried different levels of opacity, but that just seems to make it worse.
Is there a solution that can make the hamburger menu using nav-collapse have higher contrast while not interfering with its functionality?

A: Perhaps you should take a closer look at making a custom navbar toggle and shove your (contrasting) SVG into it.
Custom navbar toggle according to the documentation is created as follows (Example from the documentation !):
<b-navbar-toggle target="navbar-toggle-collapse">
  <template #default="{ expanded }">
    <b-icon v-if="expanded" icon="chevron-bar-up"></b-icon>
    <b-icon v-else icon="chevron-bar-down"></b-icon>
  </template>
</b-navbar-toggle>

Accordingly, inside the template you can use your SVG


PRG was approached by Muna Noor, a leading manufacturer of quality industrial plastic pipes, to devise a marketing strategy that would support the company's business growth, build their brand locally and generate interest from international businesses.
In addition to creating a new brand design and developing a progressive website, the Omani company commissioned PRG to research and formulate a plan for B2B marketing opportunities including creating new branded collateral, advertising in industry specific trade media and digital marketing activities.
We began by researching the economy, competitors and communications preferences in Oman and the Middle East in order to devise a marketing strategy for the business that would emulate the company's ambitions. Once our strategy recommendations were refined and activities agreed upon, we started building brand awareness in the client's desired target markets using a number of traditional and digital marketing techniques.
With our extensive graphic and web design capabilities we created a brand new logo for Muna Noor and an international audience friendly and responsive website. In addition to this, we created an advertising schedule with a number of English and Arabic print adverts that have already appeared in Times of Oman, as well as digital adverts including ads for Construction Week e-newsletters and the Times of Oman WhatsApp News alert.
Our work with Muna Noor is ongoing, but so far the business has seen the new website generate a significant number of very relevant and high quality new enquiries within the construction and infrastructure industries. Furthermore, since the digital and traditional print ads have appeared in national media in Oman, Muna Noor has seen a substantial increase in its brand awareness and is looking forward to exhibiting at one of the market's largest industry events, Big 5 in Dubai, this November.

Q: How to write a text on the same line with the entered command? How to write a text on the same line with the entered command before pressing the return-key? I have a switch statement where I choose one command, in this case to write some text after I enter in command "message". It should look like this:
  Command> message This is the message!

But instead of that, it looks like this:
  Command> message
  This is the message!

My code:
switch (choice) {
//other commands

  case "message":
            printMessage();
            break;
  default:
    System.out.println("Error, invalid input!");

}

public void printMessage() {
    String message = scan.nextLine();
}

Please be merciful, I'm a complete beginner :)

A: In your code, use the print() function instead of the println() which prints it on a new line. Here, try this:
switch (choice) {
    //other commands

  case "message":
            printMessage();
            break;
  default:
    System.out.print("Error, invalid input!");

}

public void printMessage() {
    String message = scan.nextLine();
}

The light grey program-by-program summaries for individual channels, red and light blue channel highlighting, and graphical "Prevue Weather" forecasts that were previously available to cable systems as optional grid features and inserts remained available in the same manners as before. Closed captioning, MPAA movie rating and VCR Plus+ logos were additionally introduced by this version of the software, and unlike in prior versions, large graphical Prevue Guide logos appeared within its grid, between listings cycles. The old, synthesized interstitial music that had been used since 1988 was also replaced with a more modern piece called "Opening Act," from the defunct James & Aster music library.
From April to August 2011, RT ran a half-hour primetime show Adam vs. the Man,[144][145][146] hosted by former Iraq War Marine veteran and high-profile anti-war activist Adam Kokesh. David Weigel writes that Kokesh defended RT's "propaganda" function, saying "We're putting out the truth that no one else wants to say. I mean, if you want to put it in the worst possible abstract, it's the Russian government, which is a competing protection racket against the other governments of the world, going against the United States and calling them on their bullshit."[45] The conservative media watchdog Accuracy in Media criticized Kokesh's appearance on RT, writing RT uses Americans like Kokesh to make propaganda points.[147]
Hi Kayla, have you heard anything about EZ Digital? Want to cancel my cable and just saw this website offering EZ Digital. I guess it's an indoor antenna you can buy for $30 to $50. and you can get 50+ channels. Looks good. You buy it so no monthly fee. Just a little skeptical because the don't offer a link to get more info and there's no phone number to contact. If it's legitimate, would be great. Your thoughts? Thanks for all the great too!
To get OTA TV channels directly onto the Xbox One you need a tuner that runs between the aerial and the console. They aren't expensive, but depending on where you live they will look a little different. In Europe, for example, there is an official Xbox-branded tuner that's still available, while in North America it's produced by Hauppauge. (That same version is also now available in Europe, too.)
In September 2015, Ofcom found RT in breach of the impartiality rules in its coverage of the events in Ukraine and Syria. It also upheld the complaint by the BBC that allegations made in an episode of The Truthseeker that a BBC Panorama film, Saving Syria's Children, had faked a parts of a report on a chemical weapon attack in Syria were "materially misleading".[26][253][254]
The wild world of standalone apps: Your local news station may offer its own app for streaming devices, but not all of these apps have live feeds, and the quality of each app can vary by area, network, and station owner. I recommend searching your device's app store for the name of your nearest city or the call signs of your local stations to see what's available.
There is overlap, but streaming these during non-peak periods works very well if you have a good broadband connection. My work pays for a low-tier Cable business connection. No limits on the bandwidth this way, but if a home was normal and streamed 1 HiDef 2 hr movie every day of the month, the entire home should be under 250GB of use – no bandwidth cap issue for most DSL and Cable ISP connections in the USA. Forget this if you have cell data. It is too slow for hidef content.
In the second quarter of 2018, Netflix released around 452 hours of U.S. original programming, up 51% year-over-year but actually slightly under the company's record output of 483 hours in Q1 2018. In Q2, Netflix's originals slate included "Thirteen Reasons Why" season 2, "Luke Cage" season 2, and "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" season 4, in addition to the reboot of "Lost in Space" and second seasons of drug war docu-series "Dope" and Brazilian dystopian series "3%."
By May 2009, 35% of households carried the network's programming without the grid; by late 2011, 75% of the systems carrying the channel were showing its programming full-screen.[29] By January 2013, that number increased to 83%, and it was expected that by the following year, 90% of households will be viewing the network in full-screen mode, without the grid listings.[30] Some cable systems that abandoned use of the grid on TV Guide Network began moving the channel from their basic service (where it was carried at minimum on a "limited basic" programming tier, alongside local broadcast stations and public, educational, and government access channels) to their digital tiers. This also resulted in the phase-out of its use as a default Emergency Alert System conduit for transmitting warning information applicable to the provider's local service areas (some providers also previously used TV Guide Network's channel space for an alternate or overflow feed of a regional sports network for sports rights conflicts, though as dedicated HD channels have launched for the RSNs and new carriage agreements with the channel precluded EAS or RSN overflow use, this use was negated).
The first step to cutting the cord and getting free cable tv legally is to start using a HDTV antenna as you can potentially get every channel you currently watch for free over the air or with an on-demand streaming device from Roku. If that still isn't enough, you can supplement with a contract-free online streaming plan that offers on-demand or live TV for a fraction of the cost you're currently paying.
On the other hand, we found no streaming package with a sport channel lineup more comprehensive than a standard cable package as of late 2017. You also won't find many popular regional sports networks that carry local MLB, NBA, and NHL teams. You can watch games that local teams play on ESPN and other national broadcasts, but you usually can't watch every game through streaming-only services. (Many of these regional sports networks may end up under the ESPN umbrella as part of Disney's planned acquisition of 21st Century Fox, but it's still to early to say how this move will affect the streaming availability of local games for about half the teams in those three leagues.) In addition, some particular events are subject to their own licensing rules—for example, you can't watch Monday Night Football through Sling TV on your mobile phone, because Verizon has exclusive rights to stream NFL games to phones.
I know about Netflix I don't know much about Hulu or sling. I want to be able to watch the cw, AMC, ion, TLC, animal planet and a few more. Is that available with sling. And what is that antenna for me that's rabbit ears lol. Whoever pays $100 for cable its not bad I hate to say I am paying $186 a month I am also on a fixed income. Obviously I need help. Any advice would be appreciated.
Here's where it all begins: You're sick of paying an exorbitant cable or satellite bill, and you have a strong sense that if you just limited your spending to a few streaming subscription services, you would be much more satisfied with your home entertainment experience. So let's say that you already have a good TV, a speedy internet connection and a set-top box. (If you don't, we'll get to that later.) Who gets your money?
Not sure what saying those in debt shouldn't pay for cable has to do with being a Christian? Do you really think it is a good idea for someone in debt to be paying for a premium cable package? People are obviously free to do what they want, but paying for a ton of extras while trying to get out of debt probably isn't the best of ideas in my opinion.
HBO Now's $15/month price point makes it among the most expensive on-demand service here, but that comes with the benefit of seeing all of the service's latest shows, including Game of Thrones, Westworld, Silicon Valley, Veep, and more, all at the same time they appear on the traditional service. Add to that a cascade of past classics, from Sopranos to Deadwood, newer movie releases, and virtually everything on the network anytime on demand.
Start with Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, tack on an HBO subscription to the latter, and consider paying for the Brit-centric streaming service Acorn as well. You'll have plenty to watch, all commercial-free, and if you hear a lot of buzz about a show that isn't available through any of those platforms, you can always pay for them on an episode-by-episode basis from Amazon (or iTunes, Vudu, or whichever digital retailer you prefer).

Let's not fool ourselves, the media companies go where the money is, and right now that's still the cable/satellite/telco providers by a wide margin. But according to Steve Shannon, Roku's General Manager of Content and Services, the tide is turning in negotiations between content providers and cable distributors with more rights becoming available for streaming services. "As each contract comes up for renewal, digital rights are becoming more valuable," he says. "Content creators recognize that there's value there and as cable companies are looking to reduce programming costs, some are giving up the digital rights."
Even so, no service we've reviewed is incomplete enough to discourage you from using it outright. If a service sounds like it might be a good fit for you, your best bet is to investigate which channels that service offers and see if it falls within your price range. Most of these services give you anywhere from a week to a month to evaluate them before charging you, and none of them require a contract. At worst, you'll be stuck with a service you don't like for a month.
In the past decade, the Federal Communications Commission and Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona attempted to force media companies to offer their channels individually. Neither effort went very far. The cable industry argued prices would rise if consumers could choose only certain channels, and channels aimed at minority groups, for instance, wouldn't survive without every subscriber paying for them—regardless of whether they watched.
Local stations often have their own transmitters, which means that there's a good chance that your favorite local station is available for free over the air. Over-the-air TV may seem old-school, but there's nothing old-fashioned about the crisp HD streams that are the hallmark of modern OTA TV. The right antenna will get you HD feeds of local networks, including local affiliates of the four major networks (ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC), plus PBS and other local stations. An antenna is all you need to watch everything from NFL football to the local news.
So when people ask "how to cut the cord," it's pretty clear that they're not really asking how to cut the cord. They're actually asking how to watch TV without cable. They're asking how they can replace all of their favorite shows, how to watch the latest movies, and how to fill the void that channel-surfing, live NFL games, or whatever else they liked about cable has left in its wake. That's what we dedicate the most time to here on the site. We call out site Cordcutting.com because all of the topics we cover are related to cord cutting in some way, but if we really wanted to name it after what we cover most, we'd call it HowToWatchTVWithoutCable.com. Not quite as catchy, we know.
Netflix – The oldest major SVOD service is still the one to beat. Netflix offers movies and TV shows from all different studios, but it has helped lead the charge in original content, too. Thanks to Netflix and its competitors, asking how to watch TV without cable makes less sense every year – if the best shows aren't on cable, then maybe the question should be how you'd ever watch decent TV with cable!
DIRECTV also offers more full-time high-definition (HD) channels than anyone, and it has the ability to record up to 200 hours of HD video content. So whether you're tuning in to see Tom Brady's piercing baby-blue eyes or just want to marvel at the realistic zombie makeup on The Walking Dead, you can expect a crystal clear picture for both live TV and recorded shows off your Genie DVR.
The TV industry isn't suffering financially, however, because it keeps raising prices on the remaining customers. The average pay-TV customer today spends $106.20 a month, up 44 percent from 2011, according to Leichtman Research Group. Since 1980 cable, satellite, and phone companies have generated $1.8 trillion in revenue from selling TV service, according to Kagan, a unit of S&P Global Market Intelligence. Revenue last year was $116 billion.
You'd be surprised Vicki, many can't part with either for some reason. That said, taking a look at that site there are very few series available on it so it wouldn't be a good option for many. I'd also disagree that you can get most of what you want to watch online. For many they'll want or need a streaming services to replace the channels/shows they watch most.
Remember the days when you could watch network television for free? (those under 25, ask your parents). Well those channels are still available at no cost...if you have an antenna. And no, we're not talking about the clunky rabbit ears of old. Antennas have changed substantially in looks and performance over the last several years. Breakthroughs in technology spurred by development of the tiny but powerful digital antennas in smartphones have been adapted to the realm of TV reception. The result? "TV antennas today are 10% of the mass they were decades ago," says Richard Schneider, president of Missouri-based manufacturer Antennas Direct. "And the move to an all digital transmission that the FCC mandated back in 2009 has put those TV signals in a higher frequency which means a better signal with less noise".
Someone mentioned using a splitter with the high speed internet service to get free cable tv. That can't work. I already had such a splitter (and still do) when I had cable tv, and the cable line went into a cable box. I had to return the box when I cancelled service. Our cable company is switching everyone including the basic cable tv customers to digital which means that everyone must have a cable box in order to get cable tv.
The answer to that will depend on what you're specifically looking for from television. If your answer is "I want it all," then honestly, you may be better off sticking with cable or satellite, because getting it "all" piecemeal will likely be prohibitively expensive. But if you have particular areas of interest, cord-cutting is definitely feasible and probably cheaper. (More advice on how to cut your bill without fully cutting the cord can be found in this guide from Wirecutter.)
Installed on my new UHD TV in a lower family room, and I get 20 Digital on air stations. Considering the location, this antenna works great, I would highly recommend this product. Very light, included a double sided sticker to mount, and I mounted mine on the back of my entertainment center, out of sight.Orientation and height mattered for finding the sweet spot, and now the local channels are coming in clearer than I was getting them from DirecTV. I'm very satisfied with this purchase and ecstatic to be saving over $1K a year from cutting the cord.
A report released by the US think-tank the RAND Corporation in 2016 called RT part of "a wider Russian propaganda operation" named the "Firehose of Falsehood". The paper called "Russian faux-news propaganda channels, such as RT" insidious and that "they look like news programs, and the persons appearing on them are represented as journalists and experts, making audience members much more likely to ascribe credibility to the misinformation these sources are disseminating".[257]
In the present times, it's difficult to find a home without a TV and cable connection. In order to enjoy uninterrupted cable TV services, it is essential to make monthly cable bill payments on time. Some of the leading cable TV companies offering cable connection across the country are Hathway, InCable Digital TV and UCN TV. With the evolution of technology and changing times, most of the cable operators are relying on the online payment modes instead of the traditional billing system. Now, it's not required either for the subscriber to visit the cable TV centre to pay their bills or for the cable operator to come home & collect the monthly bill. With Paytm's online bill payment facility, now subscribers can make cable TV bill payment online using our simple-to-use platform.
Hulu is more than just a place to find some streaming originals and a lot of day-after-air shows. Last year it launched a live TV service—and it quickly became the PCMag Editors' Choice in this arena. Yeah, you pay more, but for that $39.99 you get access to the entire Hulu library we discussed above, plus lots of cable channels, including many local affiliates that stream live (depending on your location).
Even if you're only going to watch a few of these shows, the only way to do it is with a subscription, so buying just the programs you want to see isn't an option this time. The same is true for another prestige network, HBO, which offers its shows exclusively through cable or a new $15 per month streaming option called HBO Now (unless, of course, you don't mind waiting months to buy the latest of Game of Thrones episodes on iTunes). With these three services in hand, you should be able to fill in any gaps with a few single-season purchases.
Although HULU+ is a paid site you can still watch many FREE movies and tv shows on the regular HULU. Also, another site my husband and I watch a lot is crackle.com which is a legit FREE site for movies and tv shows. The tv shows aren't of much interest to us but crackle have many good movies and some of their own original shows. If it wasn't for the fact that you can't watch a lot of live sports, we would do away with our cable provider altogether. Maybe in time this will be an option?
About 80 percent of RT's costs are incurred outside Russia, paying partner networks around $260 million for the distribution of its channels in 2014.[99][100] In 2014 RT received 11.87 billion rubles ($310 million) in government funding that year and was expected to receive 15.38 billion rubles ($400 million) in 2015.[101] (For comparison the bigger BBC World Service Group had a $376 million budget in 2014-15.[102]) However at the start in 2015, as the ruble's value plummeted and a ten percent reduction in media subsidies was imposed, it was thought that RT's budget for the year would fall to about $236 million.[99][100] During the year, government funding was increased to 20.8 billion roubles (around $300 million in September).[103] In 2015, RT was expected to receive 19 billion rubles ($307 million) from the Russian government in 2016.[104]
Some of the live TV services offer Turner Classic Movies as part of the standard package; some put it in one of the pricier tiers. Check the channel packages available in your area, and if you can get one that offers TCM without charging too much, start there, then add Amazon Prime Video and add FilmStruck, which is also strong on foreign classics.
ANTOP's next contribution is one step up (or 20 miles, to be exact) from its 60-mile version. Unlike ClearStream antennas, ANTOP's antenna design is a little sleeker and smaller, making placement less of an issue. It also has some of the best features found in the other ANTOP antennas. That includes 3G/4G filtering to reduce noise and the ability to use it with an RV, should you decide to hit the road.
Our top pick for the best streaming service on a budget is SlingTV: Sling has made a serious mark in the streaming service world, as it was one of the first major live TV streamers and has been able to make significant updates throughout the years. For as little as $20 a month (and no more than $40), Sling offers an impressive variety of up to 50 channels and offers great customization with add-on bundles to make your experience exactly how you want it. Supported by a wide range of devices, SlingTV is an ace cable replacement for those who want to cut their bill in half and then some.
DirecTV Now offers a generous number of channels across four different packages, and it doesn't cost all that much, considering how much you get: $35 per month for more than 60 channels, up to $70 per month for more than 120 channels. While it's a good deal on paper, DirecTV Now itself has inconsistent video quality, a suboptimal interface and a haphazard selection of on-demand content. DVR options are still in their infancy, and platform availability is all over the place. If you want the largest amount of stuff to watch for the least amount of money, DirecTV Now works; otherwise, it's not the best choice.
Pluto TV might be a new name to some, but the service has been quietly plugging along since 2013. Like the other services on this list, it has become a solution for those who want easy access to a library of both live and on-demand content — everything from TV series to movies, to popular internet content creators. Unlike the others, however, Pluto TV is entirely free.
Most sports leagues also have their own streaming services for games: NFL Sunday Ticket, NBA League Pass, MLB.tv, and NHL.tv let you watch games on your streaming device or computer. Unfortunately, due to blackout rules, you often don't get access to your local team, which is what many people want to watch most. If you're a big fan of the sport overall, or if your favorite team isn't your local team, these services give you access to (almost) all games anywhere you are. Though somewhat expensive, they're priced similarly to getting the games in your cable TV package.
Cable companies have also begun to introduce apps that let you turn a streaming box, phone, tablet or computer into your cable box, so you don't need to rent one at all. The first of these apps was introduced by Time Warner Cable and then spread to former Charter and Bright House subscribers when the three merged into Spectrum in 2016. Other cable providers are starting to offer similar options, and it's worth checking if yours will soon, though there might be additional fees to take into account.
On October 5, 1999, Gemstar International Group Ltd. purchased United Video Satellite Group.[16] Finally, throughout December of that year on cable systems nationwide, a new, modernized yellow grid began replacing the navy blue grid that had presented channel listings to viewers for the past six years. The old navy blue grid was completely phased out by early January 2000. With the arrival of TV Guide Channel's yellow grid, all remaining vestiges of Prevue Channel had been eliminated: its Amiga-based hardware infrastructure was decommissioned, and purpose-built, Windows NT/2000 PCs employing custom-designed graphics/sound expansion cards were installed. With this new infrastructure additionally came the ability for local cable companies to perform silent remote administration of all their installations' locally customizable features, making live, on-screen guide maintenance interruptions by cable system technicians a thing of the past.
There are a lot of options out there to stream your favorite shows. Don't feel overwhelmed. They all offer free trials and no contract. There is no risk to try them out. Don't overthink ditching your traditional pay TV provider. Try cutting the cord. If you discover it isn't for you, I'm sure your cable company will be more than happy to take your money again.
"We cut out cable and tried to replace it with just streaming options, then with those plus PlayStation Vue (because they were the only option for live sports). That was a bust because the internet streaming couldn't keep up with the speed of most sports, plus the DVR options were abysmal [which made missing live game broadcasts not an option]. So we went back! We are the proud payers of a DIRECTV bill and I'm not even sad about it." ― Stephanie Bowen Earley

Setting it up is a cinch: just fire up the Roku, go through its initial setup wizard, and start adding channels from its easy-to-browse library. The Roku's remote is a bit big, clunky, and ugly, but it only has a few buttons, making it easy to use. Furthermore, the Roku does a great job of offloading the more complicated processes—like signing into Netflix, Hulu, and other services—to your computer. Instead of using the remote to log in, the Roku gives you a PIN number that you enter in a browser on your computer, linking it to your different accounts. This particular task may seem complicated to first-time users, but it really is a lot more convenient than doing it from the remote.
Hi Peter, I'm sorry to sound so ignorant, but I have no Internet service, cable or satellite t.v. We do have a xbox. Is there a way to watch t.v. through our xbox? Please tell me if there is. We are so tired of watching our same DVD'S over and over. My son's are nine and eleven, so they get really tired of the DVD'S. Could you please send me an email? Thank you so much!
A lot of people pay a lot of money in order to be able to watch the TV shows that they want, when they want. In the process they end up spending upwards of $500-1000 a year, mostly for programming that they don't watch. If they would just look a little deeper they might find that there are a lot of free or low cost options out there, and they can get a lot of the same TV shows, movies and other video content for free.
On April 30, 2007, Gemstar-TV Guide announced that beginning on June 4, 2007, TV Guide Channel would be rebranded as the "TV Guide Network". According to its press release, the move was intended to reflect "the continued evolution of the Channel from primarily a utility service to a more fully-developed television guidance and entertainment network with a continued commitment to high quality programming."
Anyways this site has no pop up ads and has every TV show I watch including rare ones like Friends and Scrubs. But also as every Family Guy, Lost, Heroes, and like a thousand other shows. Its really pretty amazing that all of this is free online and so easy to access. I guess it's not on this list because it is a newer site. But I'm pretty impressed so far.

Turkey Coup's Social Fallout: Secular Population in Danger?
As a "secular Muslim" (I use that term very loosely, as more of a cultural description because I do not practice organized religion) I am rather perplexed by the social fallout of the failed military coup in Turkey.
While it remains to be proven, Erdogan has officially blamed the coup attempt on the US-backed, self-exiled hard-line Islamist Fethullah Gulen. Gulen is a former political ally of Erdogan and is just as radical—if not more so—an Islamist as Erdogan and his AKP party. If Gulen (with help from the US) was indeed behind the coup attempt, then it is a case of Islamist vs. Islamist and not secular factions within the state trying to take the country back from Erdogan and the Islamists (as many initially thought).
This is markedly different than my experiences in Taksim Square in 2013. Back then what I experienced was two parallel countries that existed—albeit with some tension—side-by-side.
On popular Istiklal Caddesi (street), it was common to see a woman in shorts walking not too far from a woman in hijab (the head veil). And in Antalya I saw women in nikab (the face covering) in the same spaces as women in shorts and tank tops. While there was a palpable tension, both "types" of women were free to publicly dress as they pleased, and the social landscape was one of seculars and Islamists co-existing peacefully, or at the very least, non-violently. I fear that this is about to change drastically in the aftermath the recent coup attempt. As I mention previously, while the secular populations are likely not behind the coup attempt, they are poised to suffer the fallout of the increasingly emboldened radical Islamist populations running amuck in Turkey following the thwarted coup.
 This atmosphere of fear and intimidation against non-religiously dressed woman is similar to what I experienced in Cairo shortly after the ouster of Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood. While I was not directly threatened, there were particular situations and neigbourhoods in which I chose to put on the head veil (hijab) in order to feel safe and not be targeted by ardent Islamists, which seemed to be out in droves at that time.

ABP to invest almost £7m in major solar project at Port of Hull
Once completed, the 6.5MW scheme will more than double the Humber Ports' renewable energy generation
Phil WinterBusiness Editor
ABP is to invest £6.8m in solar panels at the Port of Hull (Image: ABP)
ABP has announced it is to invest almost £7m at the Port of Hull to install the region's biggest roof-mounted solar project.
The leading port operator last year completed a similar scheme at its site in Goole, which is now capable of producing up to 1.1MW of clean energy.
ABP has now committed to installing a similar development at the Port of Hull.
Once completed, the 6.5MW scheme will more than double the Humber Ports' renewable energy generation.
Simon Bird, director at ABP Humber, said: "This solar installation is another vital step toward making our energy supply even more sustainable and even greener.
"It will make more use of the hybridised port equipment we have invested in to carry out port operations.

"I'm excited to see where this green energy revolution can take us as a port operator, as we look to decarbonise further our own operations and, in turn, those of our customers and the wider supply chain."
The panels, which are being installed by the UK's leading commercial solar installer, Custom Solar, will cover ABP warehouses and the engineering workshops on the Port of Hull.
Redundancies to be made as ABP carries out 'major restructure'
As warehouses are completed they will be switched on, with the entire installation set to be online and producing clean power by July 2020.
Once installed, the solar panels will save 2,600 tonnes of CO2e per annum, equating to the energy needs of 1,600 average UK homes.

Gary Sucharewycz, development director at Custom Solar, said: "In order for this project to be sanctioned, an incredible amount of work has taken place, working with ABP and the DNO Northern Powergrid.
"It has been a fantastic achievement by all involved and has ensured this project was able to progress to fruition."
Currently, installations at the Ports of Immingham and Goole produce 4.5 MW and 1.1 MW respectively.
Humber tidal barrier to protect Hull would cost 'billions' and take decades to build
Once completed, the 6.5 MW solar scheme at the Port of Hull will more than double the Humber Ports' renewable energy generation, increasing it to over 12 MW, which will supply almost 29 per cent of the ports' energy requirement.
With this new installation up and running, 17 of ABP's 21 ports will have renewable energy projects in operation, generating clean power for the company.
Watch: What it's like to be a lock head man at ABP
In 2018, 12.2 per cent of all the electricity ABP used was generated by onsite renewable projects and more projects came online in 2019.
Matthew Brailsford, managing director at Custom Solar, said: "We are delighted to be installing another iconic solar project on the Humber for Associated British Ports.
10,000 new jobs could be created by Humber green energy revolution
"It has taken the Custom Solar team over two years to plan the project alongside the ABP engineering team due to the sheer scale and complexity of the project.
"We are extremely proud to be installing one of the UK's largest rooftop solar system and we very much look forward to unveiling the completed system in 2020 once all aspects have been safely installed and commissioned."

Q: How to set runtime binding redirect on library I have a bunch of .net dlls which are used by a Delphi application (through COM) and I got an error 'cannot load newtonsoft.json 6.0.0.0 version'
Because A.dll references newtonsoft.json 11.0.0.0, B.dll references HttpClient System.Net.Http.Formatting, which seems references newtonsoft.json 6.0.0.0.  And all dlls are in one folder which only have 11.0 version.
And all the existing solutions are adding bindingRedirect, but it only works for windows application and web application.  I have tried to add the bindingredict to A.dll.config, B.dll.config, but that didn't work.
What can I do to solve this problem ?

A: You can use this:
<dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity name="Newtonsoft.Json" publicKeyToken="30ad4fe6b2a6aeed" culture="neutral" />
        <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-11.0.0.0" newVersion="11.0.0.0" />

Q: Bootstrap responsive horizontal layout - determine flow? Is there a way to force the responsive design in bootstrap to break up rows in a certain way?
e.g.
I have a GUI like this:
[label] [input] [input] [button]

Currently it will break the row from the right side, first the button falls down, then the
last input etc when the viewport shrinks.
Like this:
[label] [input] [input]
[button]

I would like to se a break between the [label] and [input] first.
Resulting in something like this
[label]
[input] [input] [button]

and after that the normal behaviour can kick in.
Hope this question makes any sense at all :)

A: Maybe something like this will help you?

   My Label

      <input type="text" />
      <input type="text" />
      <button>My Button</button>

Beating a dead horse, WSJ edition
I'm like the millionth person to pile on this Suzanne Sommers editorial (seriously, what was the WSJ thinking?), but I have to get my two cents in. Jonathan Chait has done his usual masterwork, and Josh Barro crushed it as well. I want to focus on some of her claims about Canada:
It went on to say that young Canadian medical students have no incentive to become doctors to humans because they can't make any money. Instead, there is a great surge of Canadian students becoming veterinarians. That's where the money is. A Canadian animal can have timely MRIs, surgeries and any number of tests it needs to receive quality health care.
Yeah, cause doctors are homeless in Canada. Here are some actual data:
[R]esearch, led by Jeremy Petch of the Li Ka Shing Institute of St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto, calculated net payments to physicians in Ontario. To do so, they looked at physician overhead costs, as collected in the National Physicians' Survey.
Overhead varies widely by specialty, from 38 per cent for ophthalmologists to 10 per cent for medical oncologists, and, of course, many hospital-based docs have little or no out-of-pocket costs. Overall, overhead for Canadian doctors is 26 per cent of their billings. Because that number is self-reported, it may be a tad overstated, but it's the best figure available.
Practically, that means Canadian doctors have an average annual income (before taxes) of a little more than $225,000.
But, again, there is a range, from psychiatrists, the specialists who bill the least ($232,000 gross; $186,000 net), to ophthalmologists, who bill the most ($676,000 gross; $418,000 net).
How out of touch do you have to be to think salaries like that equate to "can't make any money"?
Sommers goes on:
All of my husband's cousins are doctors. Several have moved to the U.S. because after their years of intensive schooling, they want to reap financial rewards.
Ah, yes. It's the "everyone knows a doctor who left Canada to move to the US " meme. I can't bring myself to try this again, so here's my old post:
So when emigration "spiked," 400-500 doctors were leaving Canada for the United States. There are more than 800,000 physicians in the U.S. right now, so I'm skeptical that every doctor knows one of those emigres. But I'd especially like you to pay attention to the yellow line, which is the net loss of doctors to Canada.
In 2003, net emigration became net immigration. Let me say that again. More doctors were moving into Canada than were moving out.
Then there's this:
So spare me the crap about how doctors are miserable in Canada and moving here to be happier. The opposite is true.
She's not done:
My 75-year-old Canadian girlfriend was denied treatment because she was too old. She died recently, having been given palliative care. That's all the system would allow.
Does anyone actually believe this crap? There is nothing, and I mean NOTHING, in the Canadian health care system that denies care to people based on age. One of the only relevant studies I've ever seen comparing the US to Canada is this one (emphasis mine):
Research from Canada and the United States suggests that not offering dialysis to patients who might benefit still occurs. This study was conducted to investigate nonreferral and nonacceptance to dialysis by primary care physicians (PCPs) and nephrologists in these countries. We surveyed a random sample of Canadian and US PCPs and nephrologists concerning their attitudes toward and experience with withholding dialysis in patients with advanced chronic renal failure. In response to a question about whether the physician believes there should be an age beyond which dialysis should not be offered, 12% of Canadian PCPs, 20% of US PCPs, 4% of Canadian nephrologists, and 9% of US nephrologists answered yes. When asked about their recommendations concerning dialysis initiation in 10 vignettes of patients with impending end-stage renal disease (ESRD), the responses of Canadian and US physicians were similar. PCPs compared with nephrologists were less likely to recommend dialysis in cases with physical illnesses and more likely to recommend it in cases with neuropsychiatric impairments. Over a 3-year period, 13% of Canadian PCPs and 19% of US PCPs reported nonreferral to dialysis at least once. Withholding rates were 25% for Canadian PCPs, 16% for US PCPs, 13% for Canadian nephrologists, and 17% for US nephrologists. We conclude that although nonreferral of patients who might benefit from dialysis still occurs, it does not seem to be common, and the attitudes of Canadian and US physicians toward this issue are similar and could not entirely account for the much greater incidence of treated ESRD in the United States. PCPs and nephrologists should continue to be educated about the modern criteria for patient selection for dialysis.
Look at the first bolded statement. It says that more doctors in the US believed that there should be an age at which we should not offer dialysis. MORE IN THE US. The second bolded statement shows that more primary care doctors in the US reported actually not referring people for dialysis. MORE IN THE US. Withholding rates themselves were somewhat balanced, higher in Canadian PCPs, but lower in Canadian nephrologists.
What is clear, however, is that there is no evidence for Canadian doctors withholding care from people because they are old.
And – ARGH – I can't believe I have to write this, but she's attacking the ACA, which is NOT single payer, in defense of Medicare, which is totally a single payer program. Does she really not get that? Does she even know that the Canadian single payer program is also called "Medicare"?
There are many legitimate reasons to dislike the ACA. None of her "Canadian" attacks come even close.
I look forward to more "corrections" in the WSJ about this piece. It's a classic.

This is an RPG Maker MV plugin I created for my own project that may come in handy for others. I use it alongside HimeWorks Enemy Levels so I can have Exp drop be calculated using the Enemy's level ( enemy.exp()*enemy.level ). I also use it so that random encounters don't drop Gold but battles with human characters do.
This plugin makes it so you can use a custom formula to evaluate how much exp is earned from defeating an enemy and how much gold is dropped.
Note: these formulas determine drop PER enemy. So if a Troop has 3 enemies, the formula will run for each enemy and add the three totals together for your final drop.

Let's name a few legislative battlegrounds
It's getting to be that time of the election cycle.
Mihaela Plesa
Two years ago, Democrats were gearing up for a rare opportunity in modern times: capturing the Texas House majority.
But after they came up woefully short — and Republican-led redistricting reduced the number of competitive races — the battlefield heading into November is notably smaller.
Still, both sides see important stakes in the state House races this time around. While the majority is not on the line, the hottest races are unfolding in key areas that each party understands is critical to their growth for the next decade.
Look no further than the three districts that both Democrats and Republicans see as their highest priorities. Two of them are in South Texas, where Republicans are working to make inroads with Hispanic voters, while the other is in North Texas' Collin County, a place emblematic of the fast-growing suburbs where Democrats have gained ground over the last few election cycles.
The GOP is especially serious about the two seats in South Texas — House District 37, a new open seat in the heart of the Rio Grande Valley, and House District 118, a San Antonio-based seat that Republican John Lujan flipped last year in a special election. House Speaker Dade Phelan, R-Beaumont, and the Republican State Leadership Committee, a national group that works to elect Republicans to state legislatures, are announcing Monday that they are funding $360,000 in TV ads aimed at the two districts, a substantial opening salvo on the battlefield.
Millions of dollars are expected to pour in to HD-37 and HD-118 — the two South Texas seats — and then HD-70, the one in Collin County. President Joe Biden would have carried each of the three seats over Donald Trump in 2020, but only by margins of 2 to 11 points, which gives them battleground status in the current environment, according to operatives. HD-37, which Republicans rammed into the map overnight during redistricting, is the closest on paper, with a Biden margin of only 2 percentage points.
Lujan is easily the most endangered Republican incumbent, but a few others can be expected to have competitive races, including Reps. Steve Allison of San Antonio, Morgan Meyer of Dallas and Angie Chen Button of Richardson. However, all three have had tough general elections before — especially Meyer and Button — and Republicans have faith in their ability to defend themselves.
There are also some additional open seats that the GOP will have to monitor, like the Houston seat where Republican state Rep. Jim Murphy is retiring.
On the Democratic side, the most endangered incumbent may be Rep. Eddie Morales of Eagle Pass, who represents a massive district covering most of the Texas-Mexico border.
As for the issues, the GOP messaging is set to take on a national tone, seeking to tap into Biden's deep unpopularity in Texas, especially on border security and inflation. The House Democratic Campaign Committee said its candidates are focusing on "good jobs, strong public schools and access to affordable health care."
"In contrast, Republicans are obsessed with banning abortion with no exceptions and making sure anyone can carry a gun with no training or license," an HDCC spokesperson, Stella Deshotel, said in a statement.
With the primaries over, candidates across the races are sounding notes of independence and bipartisanship. Mihaela Plesa, the Democratic nominee for HD-70, said in an interview it was important for representatives to go to Austin and "not just be another vote for the party line." Her Republican opponent, Jamee Jolly, said she was optimistic she would appeal to the Biden voters in the district, which he would have carried by 11 percentage points.
"I think a lot of people chose Biden because they didn't like the Republican option. I know that for a fact because I have friends who have said that," Jolly said, adding that her friends found Trump "divisive" and that she would legislate as "much more of a convener, a solutions-seeker," reaching across the aisle.
Plesa said the No. 1 issue she hears about is public school finance, along with concerns about the "social wars" that are erupting in the classroom. But she said she is also hearing a lot about abortion after the Roe v. Wade decision, which triggered a ban without exceptions in Texas. Jolly said that her focus is now on "how we continue to support maternal health care."
First and foremost: San Antonio is not South Texas, and I will die on that hill. I am begging you to be more precise in your geographical descriptors.
Second, just to provide some perspective, here are the 2020 Biden/Trump numbers for all of the districts name-checked in this story:
Dist  Biden   Trump Biden% Trump%
037  27,740  26,576  50.6%  48.4%
Most of these districts got more Democratic between 2012 and 2020, often much more Democratic. HDs 37 and 74 are the exceptions in that list. You can go read that earlier post for all the context. HD70 is a current Republican district that was redrawn to be Democratic, whose incumbent is not running for re-election, and should be the most likely of the bunch to flip. I don't think I'm going out on a limb here to say that if Dems don't pick up HD70, it will have been a disappointing Election Day. It's impossible to imagine a good overall result if the Republicans can hold that one. Republicans flipped HD118 in a low-turnout special election, which is a thing they had done before as well. Dems won it back that November, but HD118 was a more Democratic district in the previous map. Bexar County moved strongly Democratic overall last decade, though (Pre-redistricting) HD118 was at the bottom of the progress list. I also feel confident saying that Dems will be disappointed if they don't take this one back.
Fundraising numbers are also a factor, and likely a reason some other relatively even districts were not mentioned in this Trib story. HD70 Dem candidate Mihaela Plesa has done pretty well, while HD118 candidate Frank Ramirez, who fell short in the runoff of that earlier special election, has done less so. I'll want to take a look at the 30-day numbers in some of these races to see what other signals there may be.
I don't want to get too deep into all this, as I don't know much about these races beyond the numbers. I do believe that we will see a different, perhaps broader, class of contested races in 2024, partly because a lot of Republican seats were drawn with relatively tight margins, and partly because this year may tell us something new about the trends we have been seeing in the past three elections. There are always some districts that over- or under-perform their expected numbers, and this time should be no exception.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on February 13th that the Consumer Price Index was unchanged in January. That is, CPI inflation was flat in January. In fact, inflation has been nonexistent for three straight months, i.e., 0 percent in each of the past three months.
Over the past year, inflation has come in at only 1.6 percent.
Tame inflation is good news for the economy and small businesses – actually for everybody. After all, high inflation is a tax that eats away at the value of the dollar. Periods of high inflation often tend to be times of significant inflation volatility.
In addition, inflation hikes the real capital gains tax, given that capital gains are not indexed for inflation. The difference between the nominal capital gains tax and the real capital gains tax at various inflation rates is significant, and is made clear in the examples offered in the following chart.
By the way, as SBE Council has noted before, the difference between the nominal and real capital gains tax rate is a clear reason for indexing capital gains for inflation.
Inflation also raises costs for businesses in terms of inputs, including labor. And obviously, high inflation hits consumers – such as family budgets – hard.
So, when inflation is kept low, it's a positive for investment, for entrepreneurship and business, and for consumers.

Q: Deleting strings after a certain column in Notepad++ I have a set of data which looks like this
XXXYYY,20151001,09:16,17370.40,17390.60,17362.40,17381.00,50,0
What I want to do is, deleting everything after the value 17381.00 i.e delete ",50,0".I have 7500 rows of such data and column number after 17381.00 is 61 in all rows.
What i am looking for is to able to delete everything from column 61.
The expected output is XXXYYY,20151001,09:16,17370.40,17390.60,17362.40,17381.00

A: You may try the following find and replace, in regex mode:
Find:    ^((?:[^,]*,){59}[^,]*),.*$
Replace: $1

Here is an explanation of the regex pattern:
^
(
    (?:[^,]*,){59}  match and capture 'xxx,' 59 times
    [^,]*           match and capture 'xxx' (no comma)
)
,                   match a ,
.*                  consume the remainder of the line
$

Then, we replace with just the capture group $1, effectively removing columns 61 onwards.

Morality & Legacy in Star Wars
Written by Brian VanDenBergh
When it comes to morality, it doesn't get much more clear-cut than the iconic tale of adventure, heroism, and complicated family history that is Star Wars.
Originally spanning three movies released in 1977, 1980, and 1983, the sprawling space saga has grown to become one of the most beloved and profitable entertainment franchises in the world. With each new installment shattering box office records; providing a steady stream of novels, television shows and games; and causing all manners of merchandise to flood the marketplace at every turn, it's hard to fathom a world that existed before the words, "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..."
So, what about this story makes it so relevant that its legacy continues more than 40 years later?
I spoke recently about this question – as well as many others pertaining to the themes of morality and legacy in Star Wars – at Asbury First Church in Rochester, along with my speaking partner, Jeff Dugan.
Using the path of the series' protagonist, Luke Skywalker, we mapped his various successes and failures throughout the films onto Joseph Campbell's seminal theory of "The Hero's Journey"—from his success destroying the Death Star to his loss of a limb suffered in a battle with his father, to his daring rescue of Han Solo and the ultimate success of redeeming the heart and soul of the most feared figure in the galaxy, Darth Vader.
While tracking his progress, we debated the impact of the various shifts in Luke's moral compass at these momentous points in the films. He not only battled villains, but also his own emotions of anger, fear, and love while attempting to achieve balance and an identity for himself.
The character of Luke Skywalker is our guide into that larger world and, as we follow his path, we can draw parallels to our own lives. Whether it's coming of age, facing seemingly insurmountable problems, or just trying to find our place in the universe, we can see through him what it is to be a person who is hardly ever perfect yet succeeds through persistence, strength of character and, of course, with a little help from friends.
Finally, we examined the Star Wars legacy overall. It isn't just a story about adventuring space knights. It's a story about scoundrels and princesses, droids and wookies, the good, the bad, and everyone in between. It's a story about all of us. A story whose heart and legacy can be summed up in one word. It's something we should always strive to have. It can bind us together and encourage us to do the most incredible, impossible things.
The moral of the story of Star Wars is and always will be – hope.

2. Practice\Chemical Weapons
Practice Relating to Rule 74. Chemical Weapons
In 1966, during a debate in the First Committee of the UN General Assembly, Czechoslovakia supported Hungary's view that the 1925 Geneva Gas Protocol had developed into customary international law and that the use of chemical weapons constituted an international crime.
Czechoslovakia, Statement before the First Committee of the UN General Assembly, UN Doc. A/C.1/SR.1455, 16 November 1966, p. 172.
In 1989, in reply to a note verbale of the UN Secretary-General on the subject of chemical weapons, Czechoslovakia declared that it did not possess chemical weapons.
Czechoslovakia, Reply to a note verbale of the UN Secretary-General, referred to in Report of the Secretary-General on respect for the right to life: elimination of chemical weapons, prepared in accordance with UN Sub-Commission on Human Rights Resolution 1988/27, UN Doc. E/CN.4/Sub.2/1989/4, 17 August 1989, § 98.
At the 1989 Session of the Conference on Disarmament, Czechoslovakia stated:
Two days before the Paris Conference, on 5 January, the Government of Czechoslovakia released a statement on issues concerning the prohibition and elimination of chemical weapons. This statement reaffirmed that Czechoslovakia does not possess, manufacture or stockpile on its territory any chemical weapons. Nor does it own facilities for their development or production. All scientific research in this field is oriented exclusively towards protection against the effects of chemical weapons and other peaceful goals.
Czechoslovakia, Statement before the Conference on Disarmament, UN Doc. CD/PV.488, 21 February 1989, p. 10.
At the 1992 Session of the Conference on Disarmament, Czechoslovakia said that it had repeatedly stated that "it did not possess chemical weapons, and had declared its intention to become an original signatory of the [Chemical Weapons Convention]".
Czechoslovakia, Statement before the Conference on Disarmament, UN Doc. CD/1136, UN Doc. CD/CW/WP.389, 27 February 1992, p. 1.


New Delhi: BJP on Wednesday batted for a uniform civil code in the wake of the government asking the Law Commission to examine the issue with the party saying that it has been opposed due to vote bank politics despite finding a mention in the Constitution.
"There should be an open debate over it. The Constitution calls for it and those who oppose it only show their intolerance to the Constitution. We have always advocated it. There should be uniform civil code. It has been opposed due to vote bank politics," party's National Secretary Shrikant Sharma said.
Implementation of a uniform civil code has long been a core principle of the party and the Sangh Parivar but it, besides other contentious demands like scrapping Article 370 and building Ram temple, was kept out of the first NDA government's agenda.
The Modi government has asked the Law Commission to examine the issue of uniform civil code.
