Q: Divide chocolate bar with if/elif/else I've been having problem with this simple question. was able to solve it with for loop, but not only if/elif/else. Any suggestion on how to tackle this?
Question:

Chocolate bar has the form of a rectangle divided into n×m portions.
  Chocolate bar can be split into two rectangular parts by breaking it
  along a selected straight line on its pattern. Determine whether it is
  possible to split it so that one of the parts will have exactly k
  squares. The program reads three integers: n, m, and k. It should
  print YES or NO.

my if solution, but when the input is (4,2,6), the answer is incorrect.
n = int(input())
m = int(input())
k = int(input())

if k/max(n,m) % 1 == 0 and k/max(n,m) <= min(n,m):
    print('YES')
else:
    print('NO')

A: So the question is basically asking:

For a given n, m and k, does there exist two numbers, a and b, such that a * b = k, where either a = n and b < m or a = m and b < n.

You can solve that with this condition:
n = int(input())
m = int(input())
k = int(input())

if (k % n == 0 and k / n < m) or (k % m == 0 and k / m < n):
    print('YES')
else:
    print('NO')

The thing you are forgetting is that it can be cut from top-to-bottom or left-to-right.

A: import java.util.Scanner;

class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
        int n = scanner.nextInt();
        int m = scanner.nextInt();
        int k = scanner.nextInt();

        if(((k % n == 0) && (k/n < m)) || ((k % m == 0) && (k/m < n))) {
            System.out.println("YES");
        } else {
            System.out.println("NO");
        }
    }
}

Young rapper Courtney Rose (Brandon Micheal Hall) needs his big break. For years he's toiled away in a small inner-city apartment, making music in his junk-filled bedroom closet. Tired of waiting for opportunity, Courtney cooks up the publicity stunt of the century -- running for mayor of his hometown in California to generate buzz for his music career. Unfortunately for Courtney, his master plan goes wildly awry, ending in the most terrifying of outcomes: an election victory. With the help of his mother (Yvette Nicole Brown, "Community") and friends, including Valentina ("Glee's" Lea Michele), Courtney will have to overcome his hubris if he wants to transform the struggling city he loves.
Critics Consensus: The Mayor gets off to a promising start in its first season, elevated by a charmingly hopeful tone and political humor that reaches amiably across the aisle.

Orioles Name Mike Elias General Manager
By Steve Adams | November 16, 2018 at 12:50pm CDT
12:50pm: The Orioles have it official: Elias has been hired and given the title Executive Vice President and General Manager. He'll be introduced by John and Lou Angelos at a press conference at 11am ET on Monday.
11:45pm: MLB.com's Mark Feinsand tweets that "it is expected that Mejdal would join Elias in Baltimore" if Elias is indeed named general manager.
11:08pm: The Orioles long-running search for a new baseball operations leader could be winding to a close. Bob Nightengale of USA Today tweets that "barring a sudden change of heart," Astros assistant general manager Mike Elias will be named the new general manager in Baltimore. Elias had previously been reported to be among the top candidates in the search.
Elias' official title with Houston is "Assistant General Manager, Player Acquisition," wherein he's headed up the Astros' scouting operations both domestically and internationally. Prior to holding that role, Elias served as the scouting director, and Houston's media guide describes him as "a driving force" in the decision to select Carlos Correa with the top pick in the 2012 draft — a decision that surprised many at the time, given that Stanford righty Mark Appel was considered the consensus top player available.
Alex Bregman, Lance McCullers Jr., Kyle Tucker and Forrest Whitley are among the other top names selected during Elias' run as scouting director, though successive top overall picks of Appel and Brady Aiken in 2013-14 were decidedly less successful. Appel (who re-entered the draft in '13) is out of baseball, while Aiken went unsigned after some considerable drama surrounding his physical, resulting in Houston receiving the No. 2 overall pick as compensation in 2015 (a fortuitous turn of events in hindsight, as it led to the selection of Bregman).
Elias, 36 in December, broke into business as a scout with the Cardinals back in 2007 and quickly ascended to manage St. Louis' amateur scouting operations by 2010. The relationship he developed with eventual Astros GM Jeff Luhnow while working with the Cardinals played a role in moving from St. Louis to Houston, where he's been a part of one of the game's most data-driven and analytics-focused front offices for the past several seasons. That'll help him bring a more modern approach to the Baltimore front office, though his history in scouting and certainly allows him to appreciate the need for a diverse approach to player evaluation.
Elias' background would check numerous boxes for an Orioles organization that former GM Dan Duquette admitted had fallen behind in a number of key areas, including international scouting and analytics. For years, the Orioles almost entirely ignored the Latin American amateur market, and while their international scouting efforts did net them some quality players — Wei-Yin Chen and Koji Uehara come to mind — the apparently ownership-driven directive to forgo the amateur market led to a perennially thin farm system. That's seemingly changing now that Peter Angelos' sons, John and Lou, have taken up a greater role in the organization's leadership, but there'll still be plenty of work to be done in terms of adding to the international scouting staff and facilities.
As for Baltimore's R&D / analytics department, the team has already lost director of analytics Sarah Gelles — somewhat coincidentally to the Astros (as first reported by BaltimoreBaseball.com's Rich Dubroff, on Twitter). That'll only give Elias more hiring work to do in order to begin to get the department up to par.
As for the Astros, the loss of Elias would be significant. Houston already lost director of research and development Mike Fast, who took a position as a special assistant to Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos earlier this month. Beyond that, special assistant Sig Mejdal left the organization earlier this month after serving six seasons as one of the Astros' top analysts. Houston's coaching staff has also been raided. Bullpen coach Doug White jumped to the Angels as their new pitching coach, while assistant hitting coach Jeff Albert was hired as the Cardinals' new hitting coach. Meanwhile, hitting coach Dave Hudgens was named the Blue Jays' new bench coach late last week. Suffice it to say, Houston GM Jeff Luhnow and the remainder of his staff will have ample hiring needs in the coming weeks, while others in the organization could find themselves moving up the ranks with a promotion to fill some of the newly created voids.

No, O's should be better sooner than that.
bross16
No they shouldn't
Yes they should. The farm has some interesting prospects—quite a bit of quantity. This is an outstanding move and it will maximize the non-elite talent in the system. I also look forward to seeing how guys like Bundy and Cobb especially develop this next year with the additional use of analytics as I think both guys can be very very good.
If you think all those "interesting prospects" are just going to get promoted and challenge in the ALE in under 5 years, you are going to be bitterly disappointed.
They can maybe push for a playoff spot in 5 years. As of now they have zero high impact prospect but that should change with 2-3 more bottom of the league results they're destined for.
Not sure they need high impact prospects to do it. Like I said, they have some good (not great yet) prospects in their system — and many of them actually. So now it will be up to the new leadership to MAXIMIZE what they have. This leadership has proven itself very adept at doing that, which bodes well.
Keep in mind that this position, now filled, was a very desirable job throughout baseball. That doesn't happen without some desirable things already being in place.
baseball1600
Every team has "intruiging prospects" I'd take Guerro and Bichette alone over the top 5 Orioles prospects. I think the best hope they have is to strike on their next few first round picks and be good by 2023-2025ish. They are in a similar position as the Royals, just with a bigger market.
Again you're placing too much emphasis on some of the game's top prospects. That's nice but not a prerequisite to success.
jbigz12
Toronto is undoubtedly further along than the orioles are right now dimitrios. There's no arguing that. Vlad Jr and Bichette are legitimate prospects who could be perennial all stars/game changers. Their next tiers of prospects are also very comparable to what we have in Baltimore if not slightly better at this point. We are making moves in the right direction but we will certainly not be competing in the ALE without a potential impact player of Vlad's or Bichette's kind of level. We don't have that yet but we will be drafting in the top 5 for most likely the next 3 seasons. We are a ways off from being good again. We just won less than 50 games, there's a reason for that and it's going to be bad for awhile. We have quite a few potential mlb regulars in our system which is a good start but we won't be competing against the likes of the Yankees or Boston with guys like that. We need another Machado, prime Chris Davis type of impact player. That guy isn't in the orioles system right now.
petrie000
Hey, losing for a reason is still a big step forward for the Orioles at this point.
Sounds good on paper
newtzb0ss
Everyone stealing the Astros staff lmao. Get your own.
Many of those executives originally started their jobs with different organizations.
baseballpun
Send Luhnow back to STL first.
Yes, but it makes you wonder why there was such a lack of longer contracts in place. That has had a great impact on the brain drain from Houston.
If there was a longer contract in place with these guys it would make no difference. MLB teams don't hold executives back when they have the shot at a promotion elswwhere. Their contracts really don't have much to do with that.
The Orioles held Dan Duquette from Toronto several years ago as he was under contract.
That wasn't a promotion. It was a lateral GM move. I'm talking about the assistant GM to GM or the like. Teams don't hold their guys back for that. If you're going to be getting the same position elsewhere that's a completely different story.

People joke about the Orioles physical all the time, but the fact is that they have not been wrong even one time! If a player has failed, he hasnt played more than a yr or two before being out of baseball!!
A "failed" physical, for the purposes of FA signing or big trades, would have been a false positive, though, that is, rejecting a player b/c of an "injury" that really turned out not to be there. One has to think that there have been trades vetoed that they wound up regretting.
The whole failed physical joke started with Grant Balfour who after failing the O's physical signed with the Rays b/c their doctors said he was fine. He played one bad season for them and then was out of baseball because of arm problems!
Arron Sele continued pitching after the orioles voided his contract.
Actually, after the O's failed Sele he had one good year and the rest were awful!
He said they didn't pitch but a year or two after the failed physical, my point was he pitched several years. Not that he pitched well at all

Let's not forget Jamie Moyer.
Hopefully he gets them to spend more on INT FA

What ever happened to Brady Aiken?, I know Appel was traded to philly then retired..

whatever happened to Brady Anderson?
Hopefully not the same thing that happened to Mike Brady.
davidcoonce74
Aiken last pitched in A-ball in the Cleveland system in 2017, walking 101 batters in 132 innings. Not sure why he didn't pitch in 2018 but I can assume it was injury-related. He's still only 21 so perhaps something becomes of his career, but it doesn't look too promising. His elbow was shredded wheat before he was even drafted.
Cat Mando
Kingmojo101…..
"Aiken missed all of the 2018 season due to injury. After going 5-13 with a 4.77 ERA last season, Aiken never got a chance to recover from an abysmal campaign, only making things worse by completely losing a developmental season."
"2019 will be a last-ditch effort for Aiken to regain his past premier prospect form, or else he'll soon join Mark Appel on the unemployed list."

Here's my concern about Elias: he wasn't good at drafting players.
This post is inaccurate: Elias wasn't the scouting director who drafted McCullers, etc in 2012. Bobby Heck was the scouting director for the Astros drafts that built the team core. He was fired after the '12 draft. Once Elias and Mejdal took over in 2013, the draft results were usually awful. I know the draft is a crapshoot. And Elias seems bright. But the Astros were tanking and spent a ton of money on the draft and got very little in return most drafts during the Elias years.
So leave it to the O's to sign up a GM who can't identify talent…
Knowthemarket
I don't think you are correct. Sportingnews is giving Elias the same years and credit for the same drafts and not just McCullers, just like MLBTR.
google.com/amp/s/www.sportingnews.com/us/amp/mlb/n…
Ok, here is a link that appropriately gives Bobby Heck credit as scouting director for the Astros drafts through 2012:
mlb.com/news/former-top-scout-bobby-heck-proud-of-…
I'm sure lots of people are eager to take credit for the 2012 draft as it was quite the haul. But Elias wasn't making the picks. He didn't take over until the atrocious 2013 draft.
This is what the article is talking about…direct from the Astros MLB website
"In 2012, as Special Assistant to the GM – Scouting, Mike was a driving force behind the decision to select Carlos Correa with the first overall pick, and helped assemble a draft class that has produced nine Major League players thus far." mlb.mlb.com/hou/team/exec_bios/elias_mike.html
Well, you expect the team's own media guide to give credit to the director they dismissed a month after running that historic draft? It's nice that he was a "force", but the fact is Elias was not overseeing the 2012 draft. The first draft he ran was this gem:
houston.astros.mlb.com/team/draft.jsp?c_id=hou…
That's a $10M investment for…. Tony Kemp?
The post also gives Elias credit for drafting McCullers, which also is plainly not true.
Look, I'm sure he's smart and qualified and better than Duquette. There's just some sloppy reporting on his track record of drafting. Its not good.
I am not arguing that point or any other…I am simply saying that the statement made in the article was correct according to the Houston Astros website…it's as simple as that. You are free to feel as you like. Have a nice day.
If you're going to say the post is inaccurate you need to put an a better source than "Eyewash said so" in here
This is one of the dumber posts you will see on MLBTradeRumors… after pick #40, for each of these drafts, Elias and Lunhow selected a lot of good players… Elias and Lunhow also selected Bregman, Whitley, Kyle Tucker and JB Bukaakas in most recent years. All of which are doing very well in a strong farm system.
From 2009-2012, the Astros typically got 3 or 4 big leaguers a year in each of their drafts. Some of the big leaguers they drafted were just role players producing a few career WAR, but some turned out to be pretty good (Keuchel, Martinez, Springer, Correa, McCullers).
Look at drafts after Elias took over. Do you see 3 or 4 legitimate big leaguers in the 2013 draft, when he took Appel over Kris Bryant? Or 2014? The Astros' drafting declined when he took over.
The astros also got good and aren't drafting at the top of the draft anymore so it isn't exactly apples to apples. His last draft with top picks he took Bregman at 2 and Kyle tucker at 5. Seems like two good picks there. then he took Forrest Whitley in 2016
southpaw2153
Sarah Gelles leaves Baltimore for Houston. Yeah, because her analytic work had proved so indispensable for the O's. Lol
A lot of dividing by zero when running analytics in Baltimore
robbiecraig
And he'll also likely hire Joe Espada as manager… raiding the Astros coaching staff even further.
forwhomjoshbelltolled
Good hire. Much better than letting Luke Perry on Steroids run the team.
imgman09
I guess he likes challenges lol
you go after the hot young jr. execs ……The Padres went after AJ Preller, who was very successful in building the Rangers farm system up so they could get to the world series two consecutive years. both the rangers and padres have struggled the last five years.

The brain drain continues.
kiddhoff
Would you rather be general manager in Baltiomore -or- assistant (to the) g.m. in Houston?
There's only 30 gm jobs. If you get picky, you get passed over.
If it's just a baseball decision, it's pretty much always better to take the promotion
fomeols
Well this is a nice hire, so long as the first act by the new guy is to toss Brady Anderson out on the street.
And if Bobby Heck is REALLY the mind behind the good drafts, well, hire him too!
Bobby Heck was the scouting director who drafted Correra along w/Springer, Kuechel, JD Martinez, McCullers, Foltynewicz. Altuve was signed during that period – Ed wade's regime wasn't so bad after all.
Solaris601
First order of business – figure out a way to feasibly get rid of Chris Davis. Elias will earn a contract extension if he pulls that off.
JKB 2
They will have to just cut Davis. No one is trading for him

If you have found a new kitty for your home you will want to stock up on cat food, toys, grooming products and of course cat litter. The cat litter box is an important element of every household owned by a cat. To encourage a kitty to use her toilet it must obviously approve of your litter choice. Petsworld can help you make an appropriate selection as it offers litters made up of different materials such as clay, silica gel crystals, recycled paper, et al. The clumping clay variety may be a preferred choice not just for a cat but also its owner, as this type of litter is easy to clean and scoop. It absorbs urine and forms clumps when a cat relieves itself on it. An owner simply needs to scoop out the clumps and feces without emptying the entire toilet. The clean litter is left behind and some amount of fresh litter can be added to this to top up the box.
A litter box with clumping cat litter will have to be emptied completely and cleaned thoroughly at least once a month. However the non-clumping type of litter needs to be fully replaced every week.
If you are also looking to shop for a sturdy cat litter tray online visit Petsworld for multiple options in different dimensions to fit suitably in certain spot or room. It's important to note that cats are also fussy about the location of their toilets.

New Enclave development to bring restaurants and retail along Swamp Rabbit Trail extension
Macon Atkinson
Developer McCall Capital is planning a mixed-use development at the intersection of North Pleasantburg Drive, Laurens Road and Airport Road in Greenville. It's a project that would bring retail, restaurants, mixed-income housing and either a hotel or large office to nearly 13 acres of mostly vacant property.
The proposed development of the site will create a relatively high-density "neighborhood village destination" along the planned Prisma Health Swamp Rabbit Trail extension, and it's an early sign of the growth and investment promised by city officials along the trail's future corridor.
The project is headed to the city's Planning Commission for rezoning approval Nov. 18.
"Laurens Road is redeveloping quickly. Old strip centers and buildings from the 1960s are being renovated or replaced," Mayor Knox White said in a text message. "The Swamp Rabbit Trail is a big generator of much of the change, as well as the corridor's proximity to downtown. This project will be the epicenter of a new Laurens Road."
The project has been in the works for almost more than five years, White said. The intent is to provide a high-density mixture of buildings that extend the development patterns of downtown's Central Business District eastward, and to offer shopping, dining and recreation on the east side of downtown, according to developer McCall Capital, a real estate development and capital investment firm headquartered in Greenville.
The developer could not be reached by phone or email by Monday.
More:Swamp Rabbit Trail bridges could cost $6 million more than originally planned
Shopping would include neighborhood retail shops, and sit-down restaurants would have indoor and outdoor café-style seating, according to the proposal.
The developer would reserve up to 10% of apartment units as affordable, income-restricted housing for residents earning up to 80% of area median income, which was federally defined as $53,950 for a family of three in 2020, according to the Greenville Housing Fund's website.
The development would include:
Up to 400 residential units (apartments and/or condominiums)
Up to 88,000 square feet of commercial space (restaurant/retail/office)
Up to a 125-room hotel or up to 60,000 square feet of additional office space
The land parcels are currently zoned for commercial use, although the developer is requesting a change to planned development zoning, which would allow more flexibility in density, building heights and setbacks, parking requirements, and open space incorporation.
The maximum building height of all proposed buildings would not exceed 100 feet, according to the plan.
The site will be developed in multiple phases, with a projected timeline set as:
Start construction of master development of the sitework and infrastructure, along with Phase I multifamily residential, by the third quarter of 2022. Estimated completion date would be the third quarter of 2024.
Start construction of Phase III multifamily residential structures by the third quarter of 2023 with an estimated completion date of the first quarter of 2025.
Start construction of Phase II buildings A, B and C by the second quarter of 2024 with an estimated completion date of the fourth quarter of 2025.
The site is also to have an internal street network, bicycle and pedestrian pathways, plaza areas and open space.
And with an emphasis on diverse transportation and fully engaging the future Swamp Rabbit Trail Extension, transportation is a major part of this proposed project.
The development is expected to generate a total of 264 traffic trips during morning peak hours, and 494 trips during later peak hours, according to a traffic study included in the proposal.
Transportation highlights from the project include:
A multi-use trail connection proposed to connect the Swamp Rabbit Trail extension to Airport Road.
On-street parking is included and would provide separation for bicyclists and pedestrians as well as calm traffic.
Up to 760 parking spaces would be provided.
Public transit opportunities would be offered, with a potential future Greenlink bus stop centrally located within the site.
Ridesharing, i.e. Uber and Lyft, would be accommodated with an internal drop-off location.
Developers would widen Airport Road by adding a two-way left turn lane.
Sidewalks will be provided along the North Pleasantburg Drive, Laurens Road and Airport Road boundaries of the project.
"The extensive improvements proposed for the redevelopment site seeks to create an inviting gateway into the downtown," the proposal reads. "By its very nature, this is in-line with the spirit of the GVL 2040 Comprehensive Plan goal of preserving remaining undeveloped land to protect Greenville's quality of life, the environment and to facilitate a new way of growing."

Q: Dynamic Triple N Step I am working on the problem from Cracking the Coding Interview:
A child is running up a staircase with n steps, and can hop either 1 step, 2 steps, or 3 steps at a time.
Implement a method to count how many possible ways the child can run up the stairs.
I came up with a dynamic solution:
def dynamic_prog(N):
    store_values = {1:1,2:2,3:3}
    return dynamic_prog_helper(N, store_values)

def dynamic_prog_helper(N, map_n):
    if N in map_n:
        return map_n[N]
    map_n[N] =  dynamic_prog_helper(N-1, map_n) + dynamic_prog_helper(N-2, map_n) + dynamic_prog_helper(N-3,map_n)
    return map_n[N]

I am not sure why it does not compute correctly.
dynamic_prog(5) = 11, but should be 13
dynamic_prog(4) =  6, but should be 7

Can someone point me in the right direction?

A: The critical problem is that your initial value for store_values[3] is wrong.  From 3 steps down, you have 4 possibilities:
3
   2 1
   1 2
   1 1 1
Fixing that error gets the expected results:
def dynamic_prog(N):
    store_values = {1:1,2:2,3:4}
    return dynamic_prog_helper(N, store_values)
...
for stair_count in range(3, 6):
    print dynamic_prog(stair_count)

Output:
4
7
13

Two Dead, One Injured In Kenosha Riot Shooting
By Tom Knighton | Aug 26, 2020 8:30 AM ET
I wake up most mornings these days and kind of expect to find some kind of riot news. Worst case scenario, I can just look at what's happening in Portland and find some if I so desire. I don't, of course. I'm actually kind of sick of all this nonsense. It's not speeding up the process on police reform and is, in fact, more of a hindrance.
But, I know I'm going to see news about violence and unrest.
I didn't really expect to see this, though. Not yet, anyway.
Kenosha Police said early Wednesday morning that two people had been shot and killed and a third injured during protests over the shooting of Jacob Blake; authorities were looking for a man armed with a long gun.
Earlier Wednesday, Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that one victim had been shot in the head and another in the chest late Tuesday, just before midnight. Beth didn't know where the other person was shot, but video posted on social media showed someone had been shot in the arm.
The incident occurred at about 11:45 p.m. in the area of 63rd Street and Sheridan Road, Kenosha police said.
The release from the Kenosha Police Department said the injuries to the third individual were not life threatening. The release said the names, ages and cities of residence for the victims were still being determined.
Twitter has been going wild, of course, with plenty of people ready to put the blame for this square on the "Boogaloo" crowd. However, others are claiming the militias present were there to protect the protestors.
I'm inclined to disagree with that last part, mostly because everyone I know who might be gearing up for the boogaloo is condemning the lawlessness of these riots–and yeah, that's what we've seen. Not protests, but riots–and aren't inclined to protect criminals.
So, what happened?
It's really too early to get specifics, but there are some indications on at least one of the shootings that it may have been self-defense.
A widely shared video shows a man sprinting into the parking lot of Bert and Rudy's Auto Service at 63th Street and Sheridan Road, carrying a long gun. Someone pursuing him appears to throw something toward him. Multiple gunshots are heard.
Another video, posted to Twitter by Shelby Talcott of the Daily Caller, shows a gunshot victim lying in the parking lot. The victim, who appears to be the man who had been pursuing the gunman, has been shot in the head. Bystanders were applying pressure to the wound.
In a later video posted by Talcott, bystanders were carrying the victim across Sheridan Road toward the hospital.
Other videos show a man who seems to be the same man wielding a long gun while running north on Sheridan Road, being pursued by people screaming that he shot someone. He falls to the ground and fires the gun at people who seem to be trying to disarm him. While on the ground, he appears to shoot two of them, one in the torso and another in the arm.
The victim who was shot in the arm ran away from the shooter, bleeding heavily and screaming repeatedly that he needed a medic. More gunshots followed. A bystander who was live-streaming helped the victim with tying a tourniquet around his arm.
From the videos that have come to light, it looks like self-defense to me, but that will be for investigators to determine, and it's important to know what happened before the camera started recording. Based on what we've seen elsewhere, though, I have no difficulty imagining a scenario where someone was standing there armed and the mob decided he shouldn't be allowed to stand there.
Regardless, though, this isn't likely to help calm matters, particularly if the shooter is found by police to have acted in self-defense. That's likely to spark off even more rioting, and one reason why I won't be surprised to see the shooter charged, regardless of what the investigation turns up. Let's hope that doesn't happen, and that justice is served. If the shooter acted irresponsibly and broke the law, he should be punished for it, but if he acted in self-defense he shouldn't become a sacrifice to the voracious appetite of the mob.
Needless to say, there's a lot of information coming and going as of my writing this and this is, by no means, a complete account. This is a story I intend to be keeping an eye on going forward.

IT HASN'T SUNK IN YET
Chris Parsons
Pope describes emotions
Port Vale striker Tom Pope has admitted that promotion with his home-town club hasn't really sunk in yet after the 2-2 draw with Northampton Town saw Vale promoted to League One albeit a huge goal swing next week.
The League Two top goal-scorer said: "It hasn't really sunk in it's only been like 45 minutes, at the moment it's a bit surreal.
"Over the next few days it will sink in a little bit certainly but for fans it has been 19 years since a promotion I hope it isn't going to be another 19 years for another.
"I'm sure the fans will remember this for a long time."
Striker Pope admits the match was more about the result than the performance after coming from behind twice to clinch the point needed to albeit clinch promotion.
"We'd have liked to have put a good performance on convincingly and let everyone have a party but we've done it the hard way as normal but we are there so we are delighted," said Pope.
A crowd of more than 12,000 witnessed the drama unfold at Vale Park and with promotion in sight Pope explains how the crowd kept the team informed of the goings on elsewhere in League Two.
Pope explained: "They make a massive difference, 13,000 roaring you on is a great bonus, and it's just a bit disappointing we haven't put on a good show for them.
"First-half we certainly had plenty of chances and we put ourselves about a bit, after the equaliser we should have probably had a couple more.
"Second-half we didn't really get out the blocks and they went two-one up.
"Luckily Lee Collins has managed to help us out."
He added: "When you have 12,000 fans, they give you a good gauge on what's happening, they were quiet when we were losing so obviously things weren't going right.
"Once we got the equaliser you could see their spirits lift and their voices raise and we knew at the time that a point was probably going to be enough."

Close to a month since Lethem's first radio station was commissioned, Maba-ruma has now followed suit with Radio Mabaruma which was commissioned on Saturday by Prime Minister, Moses Nagamootoo.
Like that of Lethem, Radio Mabaruma is the first radio station to have been launched in the new Municipality and aims to bridge the communication gap between the hinterland and coastland.
Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo took a seat in the broadcaster's chair on Saturday as he commissioned Radio Mabaruma.
In delivering the feature address, the PM described the launching in the North West District as a momentous achievement; one that he said will benefit not only residents of Mabaruma, but the entire Region One as they will now be in tune with what is happening in the rest of Guyana.
"People in the hinterland areas must be brought on stream with what is happening in the rest of Guyana", he said, while positing that this would facilitate two-way communication between Guyana's coastal and interior regions.
The PM went on to note that apart from facilitating a more inclusive vision for the people of the interior, the new radio station would also play a part in promoting local produce and commodities, while fostering development at both a personal and community level.
"Communication in the realest sense is knowledge and knowledge in the real world is power," he said, while adding that radio communication is a means of strengthening the mind.
"Because you are on par intellectually with other parts of Guyana, it is your intellect and your access to information and knowledge that would connect you as equal citizens of this Republic of Guyana…you don't need to anymore be considered as people of the forest or children of the bush," he stated.
Additionally, Nagamootoo pointed out that the new station in the Barima/Waini region bordering Venezuela also has a role to play in the national strategy against the claims to Guyana's sovereignty.
Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo inspecting the plaque that was unveiled on Saturday in recognition of the commissioning of Mabaruma's new radio station.
"All you need to say every day on your radio station is Essequibo is we own, that is all you need to say, Essequibo is we own. The conquistadores are saying that the land which they claim doesn't have people, that it is bush that it belongs to them; well bush can talk and this bush here will start saying is we own every time you hear a claim being made from the other side," the Prime Minister declared.
Reflecting on the journey to establish the radio station, the Prime Minister said that it is an especially great feeling to see the fruits of the years of work being reaped as the plans to build on the tree of broadcasting in Guyana continue in the hope of allowing Guyanese to be well informed.
He was also very quick to state that he will not allow either of the radio stations to be used as political tools, saying that while it is important to give everyone a fair chance to express their views on public issues or public policy, he will see that the stations not be used for propaganda.
For now, the program-mes on Radio Mabaruma will be sourced from the state-owned National Communications Network (NCN) in Georgetown. However, it is his hope that that once they are able to train a corps of broadcasters, they will be able to produce their own programmes.
"It is not simply a radio station for which you can hear songs but one that you will eventually be able to use to tell your own story," he said.
Like the PM, Coordinator of the project and veteran radio broadcaster Dr. Rovin Deodat also encouraged residents to use the radio as a means of developing themselves as well as their community.
He, too, alluded to the achievements of Michaela Abraham-Ali, Merrano Isaacs and Isiah Chappelle, all of whom are prominent radio broadcasters, hailing from varying indigenous villages across Guyana.
A section of the crowd that gathered to witness the official launch of Radio Mabaruma on Saturday.
He, too, expressed the hope that next year will see Radio Mabaruma being able to produce at least 50% of its own programmes.
Meanwhile, congratulatory messages were also extended to the people of Mabaruma by Deputy Production Manager of NCN Wendy Hermonstyne who described the new community radio station as a landmark achievement, one that was made possible by the vision and instrumentality of the Prime Minister.
She also expressed the hope that within the next three months, the radio station would be airing locally developed programmes of good quality through Radio Mabaruma.
"We look forward to programmes being developed and aired; we look forward to hearing the voices of trainees in the studio here at Mabaruma," she said.
Speaking on behalf of the residents of Mabaruma, Rupert Henry Smith, whom the Prime Minister addressed as Mayor, described the launching of the radio station as a step in the right direction.
"We live in a world of technology, but while I do agree that technology has taken a long time to get to Region One, today it has finally arrived. In my wildest dreams I never thought it would be established so soon. It is a definite opening to showcase Mabaruma in terms of our culture, produce among other things while we in turn will have the opportunity to be up to date with the news," he added.
Smith was sworn in as Mayor of Mabaruma by President David Granger on April 6th following historic local government elections but has been unable to function in that capacity as Justice Diana Insanally has granted an interim order quashing the controversial appointment which had been made by Minister of Communities Ronald Bulkan.
This is one of several interim orders that the PPP/C applied to the High Court for, after expressing disapproval with decisions made by government with respect to the Mabaruma Township and five Neigh-bourhood Democratic Councils (NDC) where there was a tie in the number of seats awarded to the government and the PPP/C following the Local Government Elections.

Welcome To ASHP Intersections
What Worked for Me
ASHP News
Sense of Community and Social Justice Characterize Pharmacy School Deans
Comments Off on Sense of Community and Social Justice Characterize Pharmacy School Deans
Dean Marie Chisholm-Burns, Pharm.D., M.B.A., M.P.H.
EVERY DAY, AS SHE WALKS THROUGH THE LOBBY of the College of Pharmacy at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC), Dean Marie Chisholm-Burns, Pharm.D., M.B.A., M.P.H., passes a wall covered with the portraits of all eight of the college's deans to date. While all have made important academic and clinical contributions, there is a distinct contrast between her portrait and the seven pictures that precede hers: all of the deans leading up to her were white males.
Addressing social inequalities
"Funny enough, it wasn't until my students pointed out how impactful it was to have my picture up on the wall that I noticed how striking the difference between me and the deans before me was," said Dr. Chisholm-Burns, who has been an ASHP member for over 25 years. "I hope that when people see my picture up there, they dwell on possibilities that they may not have otherwise considered."
Dr. Chisholm-Burns was recently named a UTHSC Distinguished Professor and the Chair of ASHP's new Section of Pharmacy Educators Executive Committee. Throughout her career and during her deanship, Dr. Chisholm-Burns has made it a priority to address social inequalities. For example, she has made an effort to ensure equal access to education, which she sees as a civil rights issue by cutting tuition costs. "I came from a humble background, so I know that the cost of college can be prohibitive, and I also know that education can help lead you out of poverty," she said.
Gender inequality has been another target of Dr. Chisholm-Burns's energy. Before becoming dean, she was involved in an initiative that taught economically disadvantaged young girls how to play chess to encourage them to pursue their aspirations.
"In chess, if you advance your pawn all the way to the other side of the board, you can change it into any piece – except for the king – but many would say the most powerful piece on the board is a queen," said Dr. Chisholm-Burns. "The message, which I think is a strong one, is that your future is not necessarily dictated by your past."
On her own career path, one accomplishment Dr. Chisholm-Burns has been incredibly proud of is establishing the Medication Access Program, which provides access to treatment for solid organ transplant recipients.
"As a clinical pharmacist working with transplant patients, I noticed that the cost of medications sometimes prevented people from being adherent to their medications," she said. "That bothered me a lot, and I felt an obligation to improve the situation."
With a long list of achievements to date and a long career still ahead of her, there is every indication that Dr. Chisholm-Burns will continue to help right the wrongs that she sees around her, whether in the clinic, the college, or the community.
"As long as there are social injustices out there, I would like to be a part of efforts to address them," she said.
A responsive leader
For Natalie Eddington, Ph.D., FAAPS, FCP, Dean of the School of Pharmacy at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, being a good leader has meant serving her faculty and students, and also the residents of her city.
Dean Natalie Eddington, Ph.D., FAAPS, FCP
During her 12 years as dean, she has been involved in several initiatives aimed at improving the lives of those around her. For example, she co-leads the university's Center of Addiction Research, Education and Service – or CARES – which employs faculty and students to address the impact of addiction on Baltimore's communities.
"Addiction is one of those things that we might not necessarily want to talk about, but it is really important to treat if we want to improve the lives of those in the community and our school," Dr. Eddington said.
Dr. Eddington has tried to be a responsive leader on campus, tending to students and readying them to thrive after graduation. She has led the roll-out of innovative pharmacy degrees in regulatory science, pharmaceutical metrics, palliative care, and even the first Master of Science program in the country focusing specifically on medical cannabis.
"The practice of pharmacy today is nothing like it was when I graduated over 20 years ago, and we have to prepare students to meet the demands of this new world," she said.
An initiative at the college that Dr. Eddington is particularly proud of is the "Pharmapreneurism" program, which teaches students the innovative mindset that enterprising pharmacists need to reach their career aspirations. "Students who want to go out and change the way we practice pharmacy need to have the confidence and knowledge to do things differently," she said.
Recently, Dr. Eddington has focused on increasing diversity in academic pharmacy, which she has found remains a priority. In her research, she discovered that the number of pharmacy schools almost doubled over a recent 10-year period, but diversity in academic pharmacy hasn't changed much.
"We need diversity because it widens what we know and what we understand as healthcare professionals treating patients from diverse backgrounds. It makes sure we implement in practice the ways that are most appropriate for our patients," Dr. Eddington emphasized.
Cheerleader-in-Chief
When long-time ASHP member Toyin Tofade, Pharm.D., M.S., BCPS, CPCC, FFIP, took up the office of Dean at Howard University's College of Pharmacy in Washington, D.C., in 2016, she found an abundance of impressive work being done by faculty and students alike, but discovered that their achievements were "one of the best-kept secrets around."
Dean Toyin Tofade, Pharm.D., M.S., BCPS, CPCC, FFIP
"I was surprised by how many contributions were going unrecognized, so I decided to adopt the role of cheerleader-in-chief," said Dr. Tofade, who was recently appointed to ASHP's Task Force on Racial Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
One of the first things she did as cheerleader-in-chief was let her faculty and students know that their work was valued by publishing an annual report and a weekly e-newsletter celebrating their accomplishments.
Like Drs. Chisholm-Burns and Eddington, Dr. Tofade has made it a priority to address inequalities in the college and the wider community. She co-directs a center to help individuals from unrepresented minority backgrounds prepare for undergraduate and professional STEM and healthcare professions. Under her leadership, the college is planning to place clinical pharmacists in independent community pharmacies to implement ambulatory care services.
Having those services in place will help "transform practice in the District" and ensure lower-income community members have access to medication therapy management and basic chronic disease care, she noted. "These are the kinds of things we need here in D.C., where the health of some communities is very low," said Dr. Tofade.
Further afield, Dr. Tofade has been working with the International Pharmaceutical Federation, which collaborates with the World Health Organization to implement pharmacy care and related policies in developing countries. Serving in multiple roles and paying her success forward, she mentors budding academic pharmacy leaders abroad so that they can make their mark in the field.
"I feel very privileged and honored to be working to help transform pharmacy education and support academic pharmacy leaders around the world," she said of this experience.
And with trademark humility, Dr. Tofade acknowledged that while her ambitions have been critical to getting to where she is today, the help of others has been as instrumental to her success.
"I am so grateful to God, my mentors, and supervisors who have taken the time over the years to invest in my growth as a leader," she said.

Ein puukko ( und finnlandschwedisch), auf Deutsch Finnendolch oder Finn(en)messer, ist ein traditionelles Allzweckmesser aus Finnland. Die aus Schweden stammenden Messer gleicher Bauart wird nach dem Produktionsort Mora genannt. Das Leuku ist eine größere Variante der Samen.

Name und Geschichte
Das finnische Wort puukko bedeutet ursprünglich "Messer mit einem Holzgriff". Es wurde in derselben Bedeutung ins Finnlandschwedische entlehnt. In beiden Sprachen werden auch die Wortzusammensetzungen puukkoveitsi bzw. puukkokniv ("Puukko-Messer") verwendet.

Historische Funde von Steinwerkzeugen belegen diese ursprüngliche Form des Messers bereits in der Steinzeit; die ersten Funde von Puukkos aus Metall werden auf das Mittelalter datiert. Im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert bildeten sich regionale Zentren für die Herstellung der Klingen, der Griffe und der Scheiden. Im frühen 19. Jahrhundert begann die industrielle Herstellung der Messer bei Fiskars, ab Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde Österbotten ein Zentrum dafür. Es gibt etwa vierzig Hersteller in Finnland. Die größten sind Iisakki Järvenpää (gegründet 1879) und Marttiini (gegründet 1928), die Mehrheit sind hingegen kleine Handwerksbetriebe. In Schweden hat sich Mora als Produktionszentrum für Messer dieser Art etabliert.

Als ein Allzweckwerkzeug wurde das Puukko auf vielfache Weise verwendet. Da es besonders für das Holzschnitzen geeignet ist, wurden damit Alltagsgegenstände wie Küchenutensilien oder Behälter gefertigt. Es wurde auch zum Vorbereiten von Mahlzeiten und zum Essen verwendet, früher auch von Frauen als Haushaltsmesser, heute als Ausrüstung von Jägern, Fischern und Soldaten. Das Puukko ist ein wichtiges Element traditioneller Tracht, luxuriöse Ausführungen sind als Geschenk beliebt. Das Tragen eines Puukkos bestimmter Art zeugt von der Zugehörigkeit zu einer bestimmten Gruppe z. B. zu den Pfadfindern oder früher zur Nationalgarde. Das Puukko der Samen (bzw. Lappen), das Leuku, ist immer noch ein wichtiges alltägliches Werkzeug.

Das Puukko war und ist auch eine gefährliche Waffe – mit dem ungefähr ein Drittel aller Tötungsdelikte in Finnland begangen werden. Das Tragen außerhalb der Arbeit wurde bereits 1850 verboten, 1977 wurde das Gesetz verschärft. Im 19. Jahrhundert sorgten Messerkämpfer, die Puukkojunkkari, vor allem in der Provinz Südösterbotten für einen gewalttätigen Zeitabschnitt. Zeitweise war der Umgang mit Messern im russischen Einflussbereich verboten. Für Samen gab es eine Ausnahmeregelung, die am 10. Mai 1935 in Russland bekanntgemacht wurde.

Im Sowjetisch-Finnischen Krieg (1939/1940) verwendeten die finnischen Soldaten das Puukko erfolgreich als Nahkampfwaffe. Die sowjetischen Soldaten waren mit langen und für diesen Zweck unhandlichen Bajonetten ausgerüstet. Nach dem Krieg zog die Sowjetunion Lehren aus den Erfahrungen und führte kürzere Messerbajonette ein.

Bauweisen
Der Griff des Puukko ist ungefähr 10 cm lang, die Klinge ist in der Regel kürzer. Die relativ kurze Klinge wirkt sich positiv auf die Handhabung aus. Die Klinge ist einschneidig, die Schneide ist vom Griff her zunächst gerade und dann zum Ort hin gekrümmt. Der Klingenrücken ist gerade, es gibt keine Fehlschärfe an der Klinge. Die Klinge hat einen skandinavischen Schliff d. h. die Schneide hat einen doppelseitigen Flachschliff ohne Sekundärfase mit einem Schleifwinkel von 17–19°.

Der Griff ist sehr einfach, es gibt keine Handschutzelemente, die das Abrutschen der Hand auf die Klinge verhindern würden. In der Regel besteht er aus Holz und ist gerade, manchmal auch geschwellt. Zuweilen besteht er aus Lederscheiben. Vielfach ist eine Knaufkappe vorhanden. Der Griff hat in der Regel einen tropfenförmigen Querschnitt, der dem Nutzer dabei hilft, die Richtung der Schneide zu lokalisieren. Der Erl ist nicht sichtbar im Griff verankert.

Traditionell wird das Puukko in einer Scheide am Gürtel getragen. Die Scheide ist sehr tief, so dass nur der obere Teil des Griffes aus dieser hervorragt. Die Scheide wird dabei so getragen, dass die dominante Hand das Messer herauszieht, während die schwache Hand die Scheide festhält.

Das samische Leuku ist, im Gegensatz zum Puukko, als Haumesser konzipiert. Es ist deutlich größer, mit einer Gesamtlänge von 30 cm bis zu 50 cm. Manchmal wird das Leuku zusammen mit dem kürzeren Puukko am Gürtel getragen. Es werden Puukko/Leuku-Kombinationen im einheitlichen Design angeboten.

A mother with 2 children came to PATH from Women's Resources. This family was fleeing a domestic violence situation and did not have a family support system.
She had just gotten a temp job when she moved into the PATH program, so her main goal was to save money and prepare to move into her own home. She was doing great with saving her money and was even able to purchase a car. Things were moving along very well when she lost her job because the person she was replacing came back to the company from her leave. Unfortunately she did not qualify for unemployment since she did not have enough time at the job. She felt like she was back at square one. We were able to guide her to the County Assistance office where she was able to get into the PathStone program. While there she was able to find another job with more potential than the first.
Because this family was at PATH when this mom lost her job we were able to provide the extra help needed so that this family could remain on a positive road to independence. Public housing came along for her and today this family is living independently in a very stable manner due to her participation in the PATH program. We are still working with her to assist her in going back to school to get a degree in nursing.
In mid-November we said goodbye and celebrated the success of a special family. This family had been with us for a little over a year. This is one of the cases when a family stays with us because a baby is born while they are at PATH.
This mother was not only pregnant when she came to us but she had two sons and was fleeing a very bad domestic violent situation. PATH was her only hope. Her father lived in another state and was never a support system and her mother left the family when this mother was young. She had no extended family.
Because PATH was there when this mother needed us, she was able to go forward and become independent. She was a wonderful mother. She did not yell at her sons. She spoke quietly and meant what she said. She truly spent quality time with her boys. Before her baby was a year old she chose to go into the Welfare to Work Program. She stayed true to course and got a job. At her job she was willing to whatever her boss wanted her to do and expressed a willingness to learn. Because of this she was moved from housekeeping to working at the front desk when they were short staffed. She also learned how to drive and purchased a car.
All during her time at PATH she was diligent in saving and managing her money. When she left PATH she was able to manage her own bank account. When her name came up to receive an apartment through the Housing Authority she was ready. It was so very exciting to see a mother who was fearful and alone to be able to step into independence and success.

Man punished for growing cannabis for dying son with cancer
By Richard Shrubb
Justice in the UK is often luck of the draw. Guy Friedberg, 49, a jeweller from Ayr was lucky with the judge who punished him for growing cannabis plants – she agreed with his plea in mitigation and gave him a reduced punishment. The fact is the law here is an ass.
So, what happened?
Friedberg had just moved from Cornwall to Scotland with his son to run a jewellery shop when his son was diagnosed with cancer. He did his reading as most families do when cancer hits them. This is why he grew cannabis.
The plan for the grow was to produce cannabis oil for his son, who had been using it as an adjunct to his doctor-prescribed medicines and chemotherapy.
Cannabis oil makes you hungry and in getting hungry you put on weight even as the cancer does its damnedest to make you waste away. More flesh – a bigger fight on the cancer's hands to kill you. Cannabis oil also helps tackle chemotherapy-induced nausea – again, if you're not chundering your food, so you keep in shape to fight that bastard inside you that's trying to do you in. It can also aid sleep which is good for the recovery process. These examples are so good even our bonkers government allows pharmaceutical preparations to be used for these symptoms – as long of course, as the money goes to Theresa May and her mates. Any other source is illegal.
Guy Friedberg, a jeweller from Ayr, was punished for growing cannabis plants to make oil for his dying son who has cancer.
Old Friedberg was no super-criminal and left the window to his grow open, right above the busy shopping street where his shop is. The smell of weed makes police snort and squeal with excitement as they can catch someone less 'clever' than them so they did a raid. According to the Daily Record, "Police found 28 plants in various stages of growth, depute fiscal Ed Sheeran told the court. They also found grow tents, heat lamps, a water filtration system, an extraction fan, circulating fans, ducting, thermometers and plant food."
What our porcine pals couldn't find was evidence of dealing. Friedberg's defence lawyer said, "It was a misguided, altruistic plan on his part but it did not constitute commercial activity. There were no scales and no tick list."
Good judge – poor law
Anyone who has had dealings with the police and judiciary here in the UK will soon tell you that there are some great judges and police out there who can be very enlightened. You also get total duffers who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the Bench or the streets.
It seems that Sheriff Mhari Mactaggart is a good type. She could have nailed poor old Friedberg to the wall and chucked him in prison for 'dealing' as so many judges have done over the years, no matter the evidence that it wasn't for commercial use. Instead, she said that the usual baseline fine for the offence is £,1500 but she reduced that to £1,000. For the next 10 months, Friedberg is going to be £100 lighter – no doubt a struggle at times – but he really got off lightly compared to what could have happened.
This reflects the world that cannabis users live in today in the UK. At a NORML UK conference a few years back I was regaled with stories of how people had walked past policemen with lit joints in their hands in Bristol and not one snout twitched – let alone anyone busted. You come to Dorset and they're so desperately fighting the War on People, er hum, Drugs they'll have you for a spliff in your house. My father is a retired magistrate and member of the anti-prohibition criminal justice organisation LEAP UK, as are at least two Police and Crime Commissioners I know about.
Thanks to our corrupt laws that basically state cannabis is only safe if our Prime Minister Theresa May sold it to you, you really do rely on having either a cool policeman or a decent judge when hauled before the beak. Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper just to change the law?

ORYX Gaming steps up gamification with new Player Engagement Platform
ORYX Gaming has unveiled its new Player Engagement Platform which takes gamification to a new level.
ORYX Player Engagement Platform consolidates a number of functionalities that work together to increase player engagement and customer lifetime value.
It includes a set of targeted promotions, such as free spins, bonuses, jackpots, leaderboards and tournaments; a multi-channel communication platform which supports traditional campaign channels such as SMS, email and social media; and a real-time campaign management system which takes the platform to the next level by allowing operators to engage players onsite in real-time.
With the real-time campaign system, operators can automatically trigger a reaction to players' online activity and offer tailored promotions based on their actions, ensuring maximum player engagement and experience.
The platform is powered by the recently launched ORYX Data Analytics Platform (DAP) where real-time data is collected and processed from the ORYX iGaming Platform, the ORYX Hub, and the ORYX Sportsbook, as well as external sources such as third-party player account management systems.
The ORYX Player Engagement Platform is a modular, not platform-dependent product, and can be integrated into third-party PAM systems or as an addition to the ORYX iGaming Platform.
Both the Player Engagement Platform and the DAP are compliant with responsible gaming requirements in a number of different jurisdictions.
Matevz Mazij, CEO of ORYX Gaming, said: "Knowing the player is not enough anymore. It also matters how the data is used.
"The ORYX Player Engagement Platform puts data in the right form and makes it easy to use. It enables targeted and personalised marketing, adds a social note to the games and generally improves the player experience off-site and onsite."

New car sales speed up by 1.8% in November – CSO
News // December 10, 2019 //
The number of new private cars licensed for the first time rose by 1.8% in November, new figures from the Central Statistics Office show.
The CSO said that a total of 1,676 new private cars were licensed for the first time, up from 1,647 the same month last year.
Meanwhile, a total of 9,874 used or imported private cars were licensed last month, a rise of 16.3% on the same time last year.
The CSO said that in the first eleven months of 2019, 112,576 new private cars were licensed – down 6.5% on the same time in 2018.
And the number of used private cars licensed increased by 8.5% compared with the same time last year.
Today's figures show that electric and hybrid cars accounted for 10.4% of all private cars licensed in the first 11 months of the year, an increase of 6.8% on the same time last year.
Diesel cars accounted for 47% of all new car sales in the 11 months to November, compared with 54.3% in the same time last year.
The figures also reveal that Volkswagen was the most popular make of new private cars licensed followed by Skoda, Ford, Opel and Renault.
Together these five makes represent 41.9% of all new private cars licensed last month.
The CSO said that licensing and registration are different processes. A vehicle is licensed when a valid motor tax disc is issued for the first time whereas registration occurs when a vehicle gets its licence plate (registration number) for the first time.

What's up everyone! I'm thinking of heading to Panama City, Panama in the next couple weeks and wanted to see if anyone had some suggestions on exits. Mainly looking for B's but I'm open to anyting. It seems like the legality of BASE is fairly laid back there but I would love some first-hand experience and input. Also if anyone is planning on being in the area it would be awesome to link up. Thanks in advance!
The legality is far from laid back. If they catch you they will prosecute you.

Man arrested after girl tells police he sexually abused her for years
Police have arrested a 33-year-old after a 14-year-old victim told police he sexually abused her for years.
Police detained Ronald Leblanc in Greenacres and he is facing multiple charges including sexual battery on a child less than 12 years old, lewd or lascivious battery, molestation and child pornography.
The young girl told police thatLeblanc began sexually abusing her when she was 10-years-old.
She described encounters that happened over several years where Leblanc would sexually abuse her at either her residence or at various locations around West Palm Beach in the back seat of his SUV.
The girl says Leblanc would pay her $20 after the sexual activity. She said at the beginning of 2020 the abuse started to include intercourse and that one time after the abuse he gave her $200.
The victim said Leblanc recorded the sexual activity on his cell phone at least once, sent her a photograph of his genitals in a text message, and directed her to send him nude photographs.
On July 22, 2020, the victim's mother stated that Leblanc called her and told her that he knew about the investigation.
Ronald Leblanc was arrested on Thursday, July 23 and is charged with 4 counts of sexual battery on a child under 12 years old, 1 count of lewd or lascivious battery, 1 count of lewd or lascivious molestation and 1 count of possessing child pornography.

Co-Teaching Beliefs to Support Inclusive Education: Survey of Relationships between General and Special Educators in Inclusive Classes
Ida Malian Ph.D.Follow
Erin McRaeFollow
Co-teaching is a prevalent approach to providing effective instruction in inclusive classes. The purpose of this study was to determine teachers' perceptions of compatibility and discrepancy between their approaches to teaching, personal characteristics and efficacy of co-teaching. Noonan's Co-teacher Relationship Scale was adapted to survey the co-teachers statewide. Results of the statewide survey of Arizona general and special educators teaching in inclusive classes are presented as they relate to their responses. Various aspects of co-teaching relationships and teacher implementation of co-teaching models are discussed. The authors derive attributes of co-teachers in Arizona that indicate compatibility and sustainability of co-teaching arrangements. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

Check out this boogie from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I'm telling you, it was awesome. Particularly when you consider I left the middle of winter in Canada!
Thanks skydivemex, I'll be back ! Here is my quick edit and there is a new photo album too.
A quick edit of the Skydive / BASE 2013 season.
There is a free Moby's innocents bundle you can download here too, I hope to have some free time to play and learn with it !
Such a beautiful opening for the first season skydive.
For my defense I sold my rig last year and this one is a rental rig and so it's not the result of my own packing job. I added new tabs too : one about my passion around skydive session and the second about b.a.s.e jumping,a new family I joined recently , whom I'll fill with pictures and movies from my favorite playgrounds.

Publishers Warm to Google's Ad Blocker, but Chafe at Company's Power
Sites have been purging intrusive ads, such as pop-ups, in advance of this week's launch

Publishers are greeting the launch of Google's ad blocker with a mixture of relief and unease, pleased that it is purging intrusive ads but worried over the internet giant's power to quickly overhaul the industry.
Beginning Thursday, Google Chrome, the world's most popular web browser, will begin flagging advertising formats that fail to meet standards adopted by the Coalition for Better Ads, a group of advertising, tech and publishing companies, including Google, a unit of Alphabet Inc. GOOG -0.47%
"I think getting those bad ads out of the ecosystem is better for the rest of us who are doing these things well, but it's worth discussing that one company has that much power over the internet and what gets monetized," said Neil Vogel, the chief executive of Dotdash, a digital publisher with sites about topics such as health and wellness, home improvements and travel.
Sites with unacceptable ad formats—annoying ads like pop-ups, auto-playing video ads with sound and flashing animated ads—will receive a warning that they're in violation of the standards. If they haven't fixed the problem within 30 days, all of their ads—including ads that are compliant—will be blocked by the browser. That would be a major blow for publishers, many of which rely on advertising revenue.
In April, news of Google's planned ad blocker was met with apprehension from publishers, who worried that the technology would torpedo their ad-supported websites and services. Many of those fears have been assuaged. Several publishers were warned months in advance that their ads were in violation of the standards and have brought them up to snuff, including the Chicago Tribune, the Los Angeles Times, The Wrap and In Touch Weekly.
Less than 1% of the web's most-visited sites are set to have their ads blocked, Google said.
"We are committed to joining with publishers to improve the user experience online and are encouraged by the hundreds of sites who have stopped using intrusive ads in the past few months," a Google spokeswoman said. "Our hope is that Chrome won't have to filter ads at all."
Ads Google Will Block
A new feature in Google Chrome will block ads on websites with too many spammy ads. Here are a few of them.

The decision to curtail junk ads is partly a defensive one for both Google and publishers. Third-party ad blockers are exploding, with as many as 615 million devices world-wide using them, according to some estimates.
Many publishers expressed optimism that eliminating annoying ads will reduce the need for third-party ad blockers, raise ad quality and boost the viability of digital advertising.
"As the supply of quality display advertising goes up, buyer confidence in that inventory will go up and buyers will be comfortable increasing the dollars they invest in it," said Mike Smith, senior vice president of revenue platforms and operations for Hearst Magazines Digital Media.

Chrome's ad blocker lands in an industry that has had a love-hate relationship with intrusive ads for years. As factors like page-load speed have become increasingly important to mobile users, many publishers have been reassessing whether to clutter their sites with ads.
The Wrap was already reorganizing the ads on its site last year when executives there became aware that the entertainment site was in violation of ad standards developed by the coalition, said Alan Citron, the site's general manager.
Executives noticed a decline in the amount of readers the site was getting from search engines, and a consultant said ad clutter was partially to blame. The site brought its ads up to the recommended standards, and the search traffic ultimately returned. He applauded the give-and-take between Google and publishers but noted that communication hasn't always been this clear.
"We felt good about doing it because it does create a better experience," Mr. Citron said. "But we also felt we were wandering around in the dark a little bit and wondering why these things weren't okay."
While many publishers dislike intrusive ads, some advertisers like them, said Harry Kargman, chief executive at the mobile ad firm Kargo. Ads that take over the entirety of users' screens before other content has loaded, known as prestitial ads, are almost always viewed in their entirety by consumers. Prestitial ads with countdown are banned under the new standards.
Because of the split in the industry, Google is uniquely positioned to help address concerns over annoying web advertising.
"Who serves the most ads?" said Jason Kint, chief executive of the trade group Digital Content Next. "Who has admitted to paying for the most popular ad block software? Where do most people search for and install ad block software? The answer to every question is Google. Of course, this makes the industry uncomfortable. The silver lining is that Google is also in the best position to fix their mess."
Google handles 90% of the world's internet searches, and it increasingly is promoting a single answer for many questions. Even subjective or unanswerable queries sometimes get seemingly definitive answers. Here's how the algorithms are -- and aren't -- working.

IECEP 65th Annual General Membership Meeting, December 8,9&10, 2015 at SMX – Mall of Asia.
IECEP Secretariat updates its facebook account about the seminar/s to be held and the step by step process of the registration.
On the first day, delegates first must identified themselves whether they were UNCONFIRMED(registered but not yet paid) or CONFIRMED(registered&paid) before proceeding in Kit Claiming area. The Kit consists of: delegate's ID,2016 Journal, sling Bag, ballpen – all with IECEP logo.
Its first day summarizes in welcoming, invocation, introduction, opening remarks of IECEP and PRC Board of ECE executives.
Second day of the seminar was the most interesting part for me. Functions were divided into smaller rooms, from 50 up to 150pax rooms capacity (depending on the topic) Delegates have to choose on what topics they want to participate and learn more from.
I personally attend to those topics that will help me on my career on electronics industry, mainly appliances.
Wide selection of Electronics engineering topics, applications, examples, personal experiences, opportunities, etc which vary from Television, Broadcasting, electronics, biomedical and many more!
Seminars (per room) were simultaneously on going thus you might have to choose wisely on where you really want to attend. PRIORITIES.
They rented 1 function at SMX for their Exhibitor's List – Gold, Silver & Bronze Sponsors and Exhibitors.
There are other IECEP seminars only around P2000 but you will only get ~5CPD points while attending this 3-day AGM will earn you a solid 20CPD points for only P4000 – upon attending. So, attending this AGM paid off every cents!
Delegates' ID have barcodes on it that must be scanned every after the topic/speaker changed.
On Day 3, the closing remarks were given at around 3:30pm thus queueing ahead for the certificate got me home earlier than the first two days. At around 4:10pm, I am walking my way out of SM Mall oc Asia.
IECEP journal was given to those who arrived early. Not based on whether you are/are not ab early bird thus an unconfirmed delegate might get a journal (if he's early) than those confirmed delegate who arrived late.
8:00 am was the typical start of the seminar/s so, being hateful being late, I'd keep myself at SMX at around 7:30am – straight for 3 consecutive days of the Seminar/AGM.
Issue of attending AGM just for CPD collection was discussed on the very first day of the seminar.
😂😂😂 hahahah.. This post is for my future refrence.
