After the first one-day international (ODI) being washed out, India came out hard and won the second game at the Port of Spain by 105 runs on Sunday to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. With three more games to go, the onus of making a comeback in the series is now on West Indies. India dominated the game in all three departments and played extremely well to gain a healthy lead. India's batting once again clicked, their top-order scored majority of the runs with Ajinkya Rahane getting a scintillating ton. West Indies, on the other hand, leaked too many runs with the ball after which they failed to chase down such a big target. Shai Hope and Roston Chase looked comfortable out in the middle and played well.
West Indies had a target of 311 to be chased against the formidable bowling attack of India. They got off to a shaky start, losing a couple of wickets inside three overs. Bhuvneshwar Kumar did a magnificent job in scalping the key wickets of Kieran Powell and Jason Mohammed for ducks and putting West Indies on the back foot right from the start. Shai Hope, on the other hand, looked determined at the other end. He took his time to get his eyes in and then played the pumped Indian attack with immense confidence. It was the sixth over of the innings, when Hope broke the shackles and got a move on.
Shai Hope collected three doubles off the first four deliveries from Umesh Yadav and then clipped a delivery towards square leg for his first boundary. He played out the good deliveries cautiously and didn't take any chances against them. Ravichandran Ashwin has been a force to reckon with in contemporary cricket, he has ample of variations and well capable of running through a batting line-up on his day. Hope played his first over cautiously and didn't take any risk whatsoever. The first ball of Ashwin's second over was a carrom ball, which Hope failed to pick and MS Dhoni was quick to get the bails off in a flash. Hope fumbled but was quick enough to ground his back foot, which eventually saved him.
Indian bowlers were building pressure but Hope was sensibly rotating the strike. He had to pick a bowler in order to break the shackles. Hope was smart enough to take advantage of debutant Kuldeep Yadav, who was playing his first ODI game. Hope attacked Kuldeep from the very first over. He defended the first delivery, which was tossed up and then smashed the second delivery over mid-wicket for a much-needed boundary. Kuldeep was immediately under pressure as this was his first over in One-Day Internationals (ODIs). Hope collected a double off the next delivery. He then garnered another boundary off the fifth ball and milked 10 runs from this over to get a push-on. One shouldn't forget, Kuldeep is a left-arm chinaman bowler, which is an extremely rare breed of bowlers. It was difficult to pick Kuldeep off the hand as he possesses a deceiving googly but Hope did well in scoring runs against him.
Hope and Lewis weathered the early storm and led the West Indies fightback. Hope took charge and was well supported by Evin Lewis at the other end but the required run-rate was on a constant rise. Hope reached his fifty in the 19th over with West Indies being 71 for the loss of two wickets. He bid enough time at the crease and was looking to pounce on loose deliveries. Ashwin was bowling well, but the moment he bowled a short delivery in the 19th over, Hope was all set to hit it over cow corner for his first six. Hope was now looking threatening and started to shift gears. He plundered another six off the very first delivery of the next over from Kuldeep and the partnership was now garnering runs at a brisk pace.
Just when things were starting to look good for West Indies, Lewis shimmied down the wicket but failed to make any connection with the ball and was eventually stumped by Dhoni. Lewis was playing on 21 off 36 deliveries before his dismissal and the pressure of enduring too many dot deliveries probably forced him to play a big shot. Hope looked good at the other end but the target was still very far and the required run-rate was just on the rise. At the end of 25th over, West Indies were placed at 106 for 3 and needed to accelerate. Hope defended the first delivery off the 26th over by Kuldeep and did extremely well in placing the next one over extra cover for a six. But Kuldeep had the last laugh as he trapped him leg before on the very next delivery, which was initially given not out by the on-field umpire. India reviewed the decision, and the replay showed the ball had pitched in line, the impact was also in line and it was hitting the leg stump. Kuldeep scalped his second wicket of the innings while Hope missed out on a well-deserved century.
Hope showed good intent with the bat, he attacked the loose deliveries and respected the good ones. He was astute in picking his bowlers and deliveries, which was perhaps, one of the main reasons behind his success. If West Indies are eyeing to fight back, they will certainly need to pull up and bring their best game out as India have been in good form in this format.

Evaluating establishment success of non-native fishes introduced to inland aquatic habitats of tropical Pacific islands
An information-theoretic approach was used to evaluate non-native freshwater fish species introduced to insular habitats of Hawaii and Guam comparing successful establishments vs. failures. Since the late 1800s, as many as 81 non-native freshwater fish species have been recorded as introduced to Hawaii and Guam (combined) and 50 (62%) of these are documented as having one or more established populations. We examined eleven independent variables to investigate establishment success by creating 21 a priori logistic regression models ranked using Akaike's Information Criterion adjusted for small sample size. An additional eight post-hoc models were included that comprised the best a priori model and various combinations of individual variables. The best overall model of establishment probability included effects of taxonomic affinity (family membership), prior establishment success on other tropical islands, and hypoxia tolerance. Establishment success in Hawaii and Guam was highest for those species established on many other islands, and according to our best model air-breathing fishes were more likely to become established. Six fish families, each with from three to 18 species introduced to Pacific islands, were highly successful at establishment: Cichlidae (16 established of 18 species introduced), Poeciliidae (seven of eight), Cyprinidae (four of seven), Centrarchidae (four of four), Clariidae (three of three), and Loricariidae (three of four). Those that successfully established include both small and moderately large-bodied taxa, while representing a diverse array of other morphological and life-history traits. Pathways and motives associated with fish introductions in the Pacific have been linked to desires to develop aquaculture, enhance wild stocks of food, sport, and bait fishes, for use as biological control agents, or are linked to the ornamental fish trade. We found that many established species were introduced via multiple pathways (up to eight) and our analyses suggest that the combination of prior establishment success on other tropical islands and presence of non-native fishes in multiple pathways was indicative of high propagule pressure. Our study results and conclusions on Pacific tropical island introductions are in general agreement with previous studies on non-native freshwater fishes in other regions of the world and similar to observations in continental ecosystems and temperate zones.

A film that was on my 'Haven't got round to seeing it yet' list. Until now.
Journalists at the Boston Globe investigate sexual abuse of children by local Roman Catholic priests- and uncover much more.
This is based on a true story and feels authentic and not over-dramaticised for the big screen.
The locales are pinpoint perfect too. Note the cramped offices of The Globe compared to the splendid locations frequented by the higher echelons of the church and those paid to defend them. Corruption pays well- but only if you have no soul.
Notice also the Boston street scenes- this is a film that loves the city.
A brilliant film that indeed casts the spotlight onto the darkest of places. This deserves all of the many accolades it received and continues to receive.

Make sure you clearly tell your manager about your career goals and ask what opportunities there may be within the department or company as a whole, but also be prepared to listen to their advice and experiences – they were probably once in your shoes. You want your manager to be on your side and champion your cause, so stay positive and professional. Agree together what changes can be made to your current role to suit your chosen path, and consider any other ways in which you can help each other.
Set yourself a goal of where you'd like to be in five years, get a really good understanding of what the role is or does, what skills and experiences are required. Research as many details about it as you can. Try and talk to people who do that role, or similar roles if you are able.
Once you have a good idea of the role you want and what experiences you need to be able to get there, put together an action plan. It may be best to do this with your manager, as they will probably be able to give you exposure to many of the areas you'd like to develop. Plan in any training courses you may wish to go on, and any other milestones along the way. Use the SMART format to make your plan more achievable.
There are always things you can get involved in both in and out of work, to develop your skills and demonstrate your ambition and ability. It may not be immediately obvious what you can do, but don't be afraid to ask around.
Even with the best will in the world, we can all get side-tracked, or bogged down in one thing or another and lose perspective on our endgame. But enlisting someone as a sounding board to help you keep on track can be very valuable.
In your networks, find somebody who would be prepared to give you an outside, unbiased perspective on your career development, and be there for advice and guidance when required. A good mentor would be someone who is more senior than you in their career, who has perhaps taken a similar path but who isn't someone directly involved with your day to day work. Share your career plan with them, and check in with them every few weeks for support, or guidance, and listen to their wisdom – you never know what you might learn!

Elon Musk Testing 'X-Wing' Fins For Reusable Rockets, Seafaring Spaceport Drones For Landing | TechCrunch – E.R.P.S.
Let's face it: Elon Musk is probably a time traveller sent back to help us leave earth behind and achieve the next phase of human evolution. The inventor and entrepreneur issued a minor tweet storm today, in which he detailed a new SpaceX program to test the function of "X-Wing" style grid fins that could help spacecraft navigate upon re-entry after delivering personnel or cargo to an orbiting space station.
Here, in chronological order, are Musk's own tweets describing the tech, which, also includes an autonomous seafaring drone spaceport platform, to give them a landing pad that can hold its position within three meters' distance even in the heart of a raging storm.
These new modifications to the rocket should make atmospheric navigation easier, with each fin operating independently to help control the craft's angle, speed and vector. They also fold up and stow during takeoff, so they don't add any additional drag. The autonomous spaceports are essentially seafaring landing pads, which can help make sure that re-entering craft are far from any populated areas in the event of any incident, while still providing a stable target for landing spaceships.


BELLEVUE, Wash. — Nov. 1 — Today, Parallels launched version 16.5.1 of Parallels? Remote Application Server (เกมยิงปลาได้เงินง่ายparallels.com/ras), bringing delegated session management to the most cost-effective and easy to use virtual application and desktop delivery system on the market. Now IT managers can save time by assigning admins to safely control user sessions, disconnect users, kill sessions and send messages. The latest Parallels RAS also delivers an updated client PDP printing process, additional PowerShell API commands, and enhanced VDI to streamline management for IT admins.
The latest Parallels RAS features improve IT management across the board, joining an enhanced VDI, RDSH auto-provisioning and auto-scaling and white-labeling from version 16.5. The updates in RDSH allowed IT administrators to automatically provision remote desktop (RD) session hosts, while white-labeling enabled Windows Client rebranding for managed service providers (MSPs) and independent software vendors (ISVs).
"Citrix was becoming too costly," said Integra Engineering IT Coordinator Duane Liebelt. "We were always playing around with it, and it took a lot of time out of the day just to keep it working." Integra Engineering replaced Citrix with Parallels RAS.
Session Management Delegation: IT managers can now delegate specific tasks to low level admins such as controlling user sessions, disconnecting users, killing sessions and sending messages for improved productivity.
RDSH Auto-Provisioning and Auto-Scaling: New RDSH templates allow IT administrators to automatically provision RD session hosts, enabling Parallels RAS deployment to auto-scale based on the load. Watch a video demo here: เกมยิงปลาได้เงินง่ายhttps://youtu.be/j3yVSbESz8U.
Free Parallels RAS Migration from Citrix XenApp 6.x Tool: With this new tool, it's easier than ever for Citrix XenApp users to migrate to Parallels RAS and start benefiting from its simplified user experience and lower TCO. Watch video demo here: https://youtu.be/iEVK2Ei6iIo.

Parallels RAS Console User-Experience Improvements: Delivers better feedback to managers by allowing them to view real-time performance metrics in the enhanced Site View dashboard. Watch these video demos to see Updated Administration Site View and Metrics Dashboard (https://youtu.be/CG74FO-h5-g) and Undo Configuration Changes (https://youtu.be/znq9E2RqCVc).
Enhanced PowerShell API: Extended to support new features with a variety of complex configurations and repetitive tasks—with automatic scripts for improved efficiency.
Redesigned Notifications: Parallels RAS now supports scripted notification handlers, allowing administrators to launch executables or scripts if a notification has been triggered for enhanced management. Watch demo video here: https://youtu.be/jZn9QfF68J4.
Granular Client Policy Design: Enjoy more flexibility in configuring client devices, with policies split from four categories into more than 20. New settings include the ability to filter by the client-device operating system.
SPLA License Limiting: IT admins can now create sub-licenses to SPLA licenses and set a maximum concurrent user limit on SPLAs.
Visible Password Complexity Requirements: Adds the ability to show password complexity requirements when changing AD password via Parallels Client (Windows).
High Availability and Business Continuity: IT admins can eliminate or reduce downtime of a Parallels RAS deployment due to an issue with the master publishing agent or licensing site.
Microsoft App-V Publishing: Parallels RAS has implemented Microsoft App-V application containers and no longer supports Turbo.net private repositories.
Azure MFA and 2FA: Enhanced configuration process for Azure MFA, Duo and FortiAuthenticator MFA providers.
VDI Improvements: Enhanced VDI with a focus on better stability. The new VDI design allows a single VDI agent to manage multiple VDI hosts.
MSPs and ISVs specializing in remote application and VDI services can benefit from participating in the Parallels Partner Program, which provides usage-based pricing, waterfall discounts and a host of free resources to help them succeed. Visit parallels.com/partners for details.
"We like Parallels Remote Application Server because it's flexible and cost-effective. When compared against Citrix, we were able to save over 85 percent of costs for one of our customers. The support is also very good," said Peter Spithoff and Victor Esselman, owners of Network Direct Services BV.
"Due to HIPAA and eHPI security requirements, Parallels RAS has been a solution we can offer our clients that both meets HIPAA and our management expectations as an MSP," said Streamline IT Solutions' Sr. Network Engineer Tracy Acord.
"We had difficulty with load balancing when we were on Microsoft RDS by itself… Now that we're on Parallels RAS, we use server and network load balancing all the time," said Stuart Allan, IT director, Esperanza Health Center.
"Parallels RAS provides a good amount of first-level performance information for our published electronic healthcare records (HER), which in turn allows me to quickly identify and correct bottlenecks related to the network, servers, or the application itself," said Charles McCartney, senior information systems specialist at KernBHRS.
Parallels offers a free 30-day full-featured trial of Parallels RAS version 16.5.1, including 50 concurrent user licenses, at parallels.com/ras.
Parallels Remote Application Server features a concurrent user license at $99 per year for a lower acquisition cost, lower support cost and lower training cost with full functionality from the start, including a load balancer and support.

Scotts Miracle-Gro Signs Statement of Support with Employer Support for the Guard and Reserve, Enhances Efforts to Recruit and Hire Veterans
MARYSVILLE, Ohio, Feb. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company SMG +1.06% , the world's leading marketer of branded consumer lawn and garden products, today announced an enhanced commitment to supporting, recruiting and hiring those who have served in the United States Armed Forces and who currently serve in the National Guard and Reserve.
At a ceremony in the company's world headquarters in Marysville, Ohio, ScottsMiracle-Gro Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jim Hagedorn, Executive Vice President of Human Resources Denise Stump and other company leaders joined retired Maj. Gen. Paul Mock to sign a Statement of Support to formalize a partnership with Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR).
ScottsMiracle-Gro Chairman and CEO Jim Hagedorn, a former F-16 fighter pilot, said: "We've been hiring and supporting U.S. veterans and reservists for years. In fact, Scotts was founded nearly 150 years ago by O.M. Scott, who was a Civil War veteran. Our enhanced commitment today not only affirms our support for our current associates who serve, but also reflects our overall desire to recruit and hire those who serve or have served this country."
"As a human resource leader, I can say without a doubt that companies who hire those who currently serve, or have served, are getting top-notch talent," said Denise Stump. "Surveys consistently show they demonstrate strength in key areas like responsibility, work under pressure, completing tasks, leadership problem solving and adapting to change. All of these attributes are business-critical in today's world, and we believe they can help give us an advantage in very competitive markets."
The Statement of Support joins ScottsMiracle-Gro with other employers in pledging:
We fully recognize, honor and enforce the Uniformed Services Employment and Re-Employment Rights Act (USERRA).
Our managers and supervisors will have the tools they need to effectively manage those employees who serve in the Guard and Reserve.
We appreciate the values, leadership and unique skills service members bring to the workforce and will encourage opportunities to hire Guardsmen, Reservists and Veterans.
We will continually recognize and support our country's service members and their families in peace, in crises and in war.
"Supportive employers like ScottsMiracle-Gro are critical to maintaining the readiness and strength of the nation's Guard and Reserve units and allow Guardsmen and Reservists the opportunity to serve our country more effectively and with greater peace of mind," said Gen. Mock. "By signing this Statement of Support, Scotts Miracle-Gro sends a clear message that they stand committed to their military employees and recognize the integrity, global perspective and proven leadership they bring to the workplace."
Today's signing of the Statement of Support is a key component of an increased effort by ScottsMiracle-Gro to recruit American veterans to join its workforce. In 2013, the company began conducting military hiring events and it has recently added a military hiring portal on the Careers section of its corporate website at scottsmiraclegro.com/careers/military.
The company said it will also work to build relationships with state National Guard offices, state-level ESGR and veterans transitions programs and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. In addition to full time positions, the company will also work to recruit current Guard and Reserve members and veterans for seasonal work at consumer retail centers and in its Scotts LawnService business.

The Productivity Commission has recently launched a study into the enforcement and administration arrangements underpinning the Australian Consumer Law.
The study will focus on the effectiveness of the 'single-law, multiple regulator' model – a model where the national consumer law is jointly enforced and administered by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) and state and territory consumer agencies, with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) enforcing similar consumer protections for financial products and services.
But what actually is Australian Consumer Law?
And what is the Productivity Commission study?
The Federal Government has asked the Commission to conduct a study into the current enforcement arrangements which are one of the key pillars of ACL. The primary objective of the study is to develop a firmer understanding of how the current multiple regulator framework can cohesively operate to support the ACL.
The study also intends to draw out possible mechanisms which can support the ACL, through input from other experienced regulators within the consumer policy sector.
Resourcing issues: Are the current resources provided to consumer protection adequate and proportionate to ACL risk management?
Enforcement tools and approaches: Are the ACL regulators achieving appropriate risk-based enforcement in practice? And are the modifications to approaches of ACL regulators justified?
Allocation of issues and responsibilities between regulators: How effective is both the communication and cooperation between ASIC, Commonwealth regulators and state/territory ACL regulators? How are the issues that exist within specific jurisdictions allocated between state, territory and national ACL regulators?
Intelligence gathering and sharing: What are the current arrangements in place for ACL regulators as well as specialist safety regime regulators in sharing information on consumer protection issues on a national scale?
These areas and further information requests are available on the Productivity Commission's website, available at the end of this article. Submissions for the Commission's report are due by the 30 August 2016.
The first draft of the report is to be published in November 2016, with the final report being published in March 2016. Participants will have the chance to read drafts and provide input.
CFA looks forward to the report's publication and encourages members to prepare their submissions.


dc.description.abstract This thesis examines the U.S. foreign policy known as "Plan Colombia" and asks why it has not allocated greater resources toward Colombia's decades-long internal displacement crisis. By analyzing primary sources connected to the policy such as White House press releases and speeches from State Department officials, and comparing them with the apportionment of congressional funding for Plan Colombia, I identified significant discrepancies between the official statements regarding internal displacement and the types and quantities of aid given to Colombia by the United States. I employed interviews with policy experts, humanitarian advocates, and NGO workers to add depth to my own understanding of Plan Colombia and its constitutive elements. Looking through a lens of Securitization Theory, my research suggests that U.S. policymakers habitually avoid any substantial commitment to helping Colombia solve its internal displacement crisis because doing so would obligate the United States to prefer a humanitarian-focused relationship with Colombia rather than maintain its long-standing and mutually reinforcing emphasis on state security.

Q: How do I assign a higher probability to draw the number 10 from this code? Random rng = new Random();
int cardValue = rng.nextInt(10) + 2;

How do I assign a higher probability to draw the number 10 from this code in Java?

A: Lots of ways!
Random.nextInt(10) returns a value in the inclusive range [0,9].
So Random.nextInt(10)+2 is [2,11].
One absolutely arbitrary way is:
Random rng = new Random();
int cardValue = rng.nextInt(11) + 2;
if(cardValue==12){
    cardValue=10;
}

That will give 10 a probability of 1/5 twice any other value.
If you only want to favour on value, you can 'map' more values to 10.
Another (fast) way is to build up an array with duplicate values that give you the probabilities you want.
That's the computation equivalent of drawing from a shuffled deck where (in this case) 10 is on more cards than other numbers. That's with replacement!
If you went further and wanted to simulate drawing without replacement you would by copying the last element to the picked element and reducing the range on each draw.
PS: That may be specimen code but I wouldn't allocate a new Random on each call.
It provides (if anything) less guarantee about distribution.
You will (in unit testing at least) want to force a seed to make the sequence reproducible - even if you intended it to be different every time in the application.

A: This may not meet all of your constraints, but it should get you heading in the right direction...
int percent = Random.nextInt(100);
if (percent < 21) {
   percent = 10;// 21% of the time
}
else {
   percent = percent % 10;// the rest of the time
}
return percent;

Havana Operator LLC and 51st Property Management Group LLC v. JERB Limited
Havana, 51st and JERB, which upon information and belief is in the business of cultivating and/or selling marijuana in Colorado, entered into an asset purchase agreement dated March 24, 2021, that provides that Havana shall sell to JERB, and JERB shall purchase from Havana, the Havana Assets, and that JERB shall assume from 51st the leasehold interest, as defined in the APA. Plaintiffs say they had numerous prospective purchasers attempting to purchase the leasehold interest and Havana assets, but because JERB, a tenant of landlord in an adjacent location, represented it could easily and quickly negotiate and enter into a lease assignment and assumption agreement with landlord, plaintiffs went with JERB rather than proceeding with a sale to another prospective purchaser. Plaintiffs say JERB failed to purchase the Havana Assets from Havana and assume the leasehold interest from 51st Property, failed to pay the sum of $700,000 to 51st and Havana, failed to reimburse 51st for the monthly rent for the interim period, and failed to easily and quickly negotiate and enter into a lease assignment and assumption agreement. Plaintiffs seek full compensatory and consequential damages in an amount to be determined at trial.

Attorneys: Colin A. Walker and Paul R. Janda of Fairfield and Woods
Summit District Court
LC Master Offshore Fund LP v. Vail Summit Resorts Inc. and Lionheart BGV Ventures LLC
Plaintiff says in June 2021, the loan for defendant's project matured, but developer defaulted, failing to repay plaintiff under the project loan according to its terms, and currently, more than $17 million is owed and secured by the deed of trust. After the default plaintiff says it approached VSRI, demanding that VSRI subordinate its repurchase option to the plaintiff's deed of trust, as it had agreed to do under the purchase and sale agreement. However, VSRI refused to subordinate, plaintiff says, and seeks a windfall, expecting plaintiff to pursue a foreclosure under its deed of trust, after which time VSRI would presumably attempt to claim a right under the repurchase option to reacquire the property well below the indebtedness due to plaintiff and well below market value. Plaintiff seeks damages associated with VSRI's breach of the purchase agreement; a declaration that, as provided by the terms of the purchase agreement, the repurchase option is inferior to and subordinate to the Deed of Trust; and a declaration that the repurchase option is unenforceable and does not encumber the property.
Attorneys: Patrick G. Compton and J. Matthew Thornton of Ballard Spahr
Subcontractors claim they were stiffed by builders, and one says it is owed nearly $1 million. A Mimi's Café is accused of abandoning a Lakewood property.

Q: Apple Mail App Alternatives for os X Can anyone let me know if there are any lightweight-Mail application for Mac OS X? Mail seems to consume too much of memory space

A: Thunderbird stands out because it gives you access to dozens of community-developed extensions. Is there a feature you wish your program had? Go to the Add-Ons tab, search, and most of the time, there it is.
Here are some examples of features offered by Thunderbird add-ons:

*

*Display the sender's User Agent to see if he is also on a Mac or on Outlook :)

*Dictionaries in various languages

*Reminders  / event manager

*Clocks in status bar to know what time it is in various parts of the word

*Identity chooser to manage sending from various accounts

*Duplicate message remover

*Snippets

The list goes on and on.

A: AirMail, PostBox, Thunderbird, Mailbox(Beta), MailMate, Mail Pilot, UniBox, Inky.
I personally like AirMail a lot and it is very cheap.
But you are free to use any of those. There are actually quite a lot Mail-Clients out there.


You have several options for what you can do with an inherited IRA if you aren't the spouse of the account owner. Unfortunately, many IRA beneficiaries aren't aware of all their options, so they immediately cash out the IRA and end up with a huge income tax bill.
But income taxes can be minimized by simply choosing the option that results in the smallest tax hit. You might have up to four choices. You won't be allowed to roll over the inherited IRA into your own IRA, but you can take distributions from the inherited IRA without paying the 10 percent penalty for early withdrawals.
A non-spouse IRA beneficiary can withdraw all the funds from the IRA by Dec. 31 of the fifth year following the IRA account owner's death. Each withdrawal will be included in your taxable income during the year the funds are withdrawn. You don't have to take the distributions in installments, but you must withdraw all the funds prior to the applicable Dec. 31 date.
This can be an option if the account owner had not yet reached age 70 1/2 at the time of her death and was not yet taking required minimum distributions (RMDs).
You might be able to take RMDs over your own life expectancy, leaving the bulk of the account to continue to grow tax-deferred. This is often referred to as a "Stretch IRA."
You'll potentially be able to create a nice little nest egg for yourself if you're significantly younger than the IRA account owner was and you choose this option. You'll also be able to take out more than your required minimum distribution in any given year if you find you need to do so.
As with option No. 1, each distribution taken will be included in your taxable income during the year the funds are withdrawn. You must establish a separate inherited IRA account in the deceased account owner's name for your benefit if you choose this option, and you must take your first RMD by Dec. 31 of the year following the year of the account owner's death.
The inherited IRA account would be titled "John Doe, IRA (deceased 1/1/18), FBO Sally Doe, beneficiary." You should be also able to name your own primary and secondary beneficiaries if you die and funds still remain in your inherited IRA at the time of your death.
If the original owner was over the age of 70 1/2 and was taking RMDs, you also have the option of continuing to take her RMDs.
You might be able to take RMDs over the life expectancy of the oldest beneficiary of the IRA if the account owner named more than one beneficiary and separate inherited IRA accounts aren't established for each beneficiary by Dec. 31 of the year following the account owner's death.
This calculation will automatically use the oldest beneficiary's life expectancy if you miss the deadline. If that beneficiary is significantly older than you are, the result could be that the RMDs will be heftier, meaning you'll pay more in taxes than you had to.
As with the first and second options, each distribution is included in your taxable income in the year the funds are withdrawn.
Of course, you can always withdraw 100 percent of the IRA account immediately and put the funds into your own pocket, but 100 percent of the account will be included in your taxable income during the year of withdrawal.
Choosing this option might very well bump you into a higher income tax bracket, so it's important that you do not spend all the funds during the year in which they are withdrawn. Set aside enough funds to pay the income tax bill. Otherwise, you could find yourself in trouble with the IRS.
Mark Dec. 31 of the year following the year of the IRA account owner's death on your calendar because you must decide what to do with your inherited IRA on or before this date. Option No. 1 will become mandatory if you do nothing by this date, and you'll be required to withdraw everything from the IRA account by the end of the fifth year following the year of the IRA account owner's death.
Do not ask the IRA custodian for advice as to what you should do with your inheritance, and do not simply withdraw 100 percent of the funds as soon as possible. Slow down, take a deep breath, and consult with an estate planning attorney, a tax accountant, or a financial advisor to determine which option will work best for you considering your personal situation.
If you rush in and make a mistake without expert assistance, it can cost you. For example, all these options depend on trustee-to-trustee transfers. If you take possession of the funds at any point in time before it lands in another IRA account, even accidentally, that money will often be deemed to have been a distribution. You'll be taxed accordingly. You're not permitted a 60-day window of time to reinvest when you're a non-spouse beneficiary.
Not all IRA custodians offer all four options to non-spouse beneficiaries of traditional IRAs, and some of your choices might be limited due to the age of the account owner at the time of her death. Surviving spouses have options that are very different from non-spouse beneficiaries.
These rules all apply to traditional IRAs. Distributions from Roth IRAs can be taken tax-free, provided that the account owner had the IRA for at least five years.


The Bark River Northstar is another popular bushcraft knife. Like the other Bark River knives, it features a skeletonised tang to reduce weight but still manages to keep its balance point near the guard. Most people compare it to the other Bark River knives: the Aurora, Canadian Special and Fox River.
Moving away from the typical straight handle design, the Northstar has a rather peculiar shape, being slightly curved along the top part of the knife along the spine and through to the blade (see pictures below). This would mean an easier hold when holding the knife in a "carving" grip, with the thumb on the spine to push the blade along wood, when doing whittling. The curved handle results in a more ergonomic grip when holding the knife, but this is mostly useful only when doing bushcraft tasks. It is quite natural to have this grip when using the Northstar instead of traditional methods, because of the way this knife has been designed. The good part is that this curve is not so pronounced as to make carrying the knife awkward or being too uncomfortable when slicing or chopping.
Copyright © Notice: If you plan to use our information (eg. selling your knife on Ebay), please cite our website by saying "Information taken from: http://www.knifecollectors.org" or mention our website.
The North Star was Bark River's first entry into the Bushcraft Task Arena. The knife was suggested by and developed with Reid Hyken. The North Star is a great general purpose knife but excels at woodcraft tasks. The pointed spear point blade is the most popular shape for this kind of field work.
The North Star has gone through a few changes and evolutions over the years. Initially the knife was made with a tapered tang. Only the first run had that feature. After that we skeletonized the area under the handle slabs to give the knife balance without tapering the tang. The 2007 model has a few more changes. The handle slabs were extended forward to be very close to the plunge line of the grind. This will give a more secure grip and enhance the notching ability of the knife. Next the small notches on the underside of the handle in the choil area were removed. The notches on top of the blade are now deeper and more defined for easier use on a ferro rod. These notches were initially put in with the laser while the blades were being cut out. The limitations of the laser itself caused them to be less defined. They are now machined in after the blades are cut out and fully annealed.
If you look carefully you will also notice that the pin configuration has been changed. Originally the knife had three pins through the handle. The lanyard tube was not installed because of the external lanyard loop. The configuration was changed to have two pins and a lanyard, while retaining the external loop. You now have the option of using either the hole or the loop. You even have the option of having the external loop ground off, in case you feel that the loop might interfere with palm thrust style drilling with the point.
These non-standard North Stars are made from CPM 3V instead of out standard A-2 Tool Steel. The CPM 3V is a Powdered Metal Steel that is tougher than A-2. It is part of a new generation of Super Steels that bring performance into a new level. One will note that the CPM 3V version of the North Star is also a bit thinner (.165″) instead of the standard (.170″) thickness of the standard A-2 version. This should improve the carving ability of the knife without compromising the toughness of the knife because of the additional attributed of the CPM 3V Steel.
The North Star 2011 carries the Bark River Bushcraft Compass Point Mark on the Right facing of the blade.
This is also the First Run of the North Star that is assembled with Corby Bolts instead of Pins. You have the option of using either the Lanyard hole or the External Loop. Otherwise you can request to have the External Loop ground off if you feel that the loop might interfere with palm thrust style drilling with the point.

Similar to people, pets also make exceptional best friends. In fact, sometimes they seem to be better friends than a human companion. They don't talk too much, never argue and are too cute and cuddly to feel irritation or anger towards. Quite possibly the best friend someone could ever hope to find is their pet.
Pets like dogs or cats, for example, love unconditionally. Depressed or otherwise unhappy people don't often have the energy or courage to face the world, or even go out the door, for that matter. Many times they're feeling so down that they don't want to see even their family or friends. Probably every person who owns a pet knows that they'll provide the comfort they need when no one else will. Like a hot bowl of soup and a warm blanket, animals will stick by their human friend's side. Animals are more intelligent than humans in some ways because they aren't superficial and therefore don't concern themselves with trivial matters. Dogs don't care if a person looks particularly ill or pale — they'll still treat someone the same way as the first day they met. Like a true best friend, a pet instinctively knows how to love unconditionally and will even endure traumatizing situations right along with people. It's one of the most difficult tasks in life to find a real friend and a pet will provide the kind of love and stability everyone needs.
Pets thoroughly enjoy bringing happiness to people each and every day. Nowhere can there be found a more loyal or devoted companion. Dogs are always ready with bright eyes, tongues lolling and a few barks to meet a person when they arrive home from a long hectic commute from work. Some pets display lively, playful personalities while others are more down to earth and humble. They're genuinely cheerful nature is unparalleled and will uplift the most negative soul. They can be stubborn and even show surprisingly human features when least expected. Just as a human best friend will offer comic relief in the worst of times, pets also have a sense of humor. BBC.com's 12 of the Funniest Animals on Earth talks about a hilarious photo of a tricolored heron that resembles the famous painting by Edvard Munch called The Scream. Comics like Garfield and Get Fuzzy humorously exaggerate the unique personalities of pets in their otherwise average lives with humans.
A real best friend will defend and attack if necessary. Amazingly, some animals have gone down in history for saving peoples' lives and providing aid in seriously dire straits. According to an internet article from Time, Togo the sled dog endured 200 miles and dreadful weather to carry a serum for isolated Alaskan villagers. Togo not only performed this heroic feat but also took his strength further when he swam through ice floes and saved his driver and an entire team of sled dogs. Another interesting story involves a teenager who tried to commit suicide in the waters of California. Dolphins were swimming near the teen and began acting up. Scientists just happened to notice this strange behavior and found the girl near death and a few miles from land. She eventually recovered and her life was saved thanks to the attention of a few "nosy" bottlenose dolphins.
Pets are definitely more extraordinary than humans in some important ways and deliver a positive distraction from everyday life. For all of these reasons and more, they should receive unconditional love in return for their selfless deeds. Just as a person deserves to be saved from everyday life or even a disturbing or abusive situation, animals deserve a safe haven too.

High Level of Low Self- Esteem by Electa Rome Parks
High Level of Low Self- Esteem
by Electa Rome Parks
"Many women have a high level of low self-esteem" – Michael Baisden
I still recall the first time I heard those words spoken by the then, up and coming nationally syndicated radio host, Michael Baisden, on Atlanta's #1 urban radio station, V-103. He has since left the station, but the memory is fresh!
"Many women have a high level of low self-esteem" – Michael Baisden. I clearly recall cringing and being totally outraged. I thought, "How dare he?" attempt to call out my African-American sistahs with such a catchy, yet degrading slogan. "He didn't know us and if he did, how dare he air our dirty laundry." I would hear his slogan passionately proclaimed time and time again as he made guest appearances on the show as his popularity grew.
If truth be told, I cringed because I knew women exactly like that. They were my friends, female family members, co-workers, etc. Over and over again, I witnessed it played out with the same end results. If you keep doing the same thing, you keep getting the same results. My sista-friends going above and beyond to please a man, any man, a piece of a man, just to feel love and validated. . . yet they were not receiving these things in return.
Each sad relationship story ended the same. After enduring some form of abuse at the hands of a lover, after she placed him on a pedestal, pleased him sexually, lavished him with gifts and money, accommodated his every need, took him back after he cheated, forgave him after he gave her an STD, believed in him once again as he had a baby outside the marriage---yes, it all ended the same. The lover moved on, found someone "better", someone who respected herself or maybe repeated the pattern with another victim who was willing to give more and receive less.
When the inevitable question was asked between gut-racking sobs, "What did I do wrong?" The answer was always the same. I wanted to scream it from the midst of a mountaintop. "You have to love yourself first before you can expect anyone else to."
Michael Baisden's slogan touched a nerve because I had seen these women up close and personal and it wasn't cute. My sistahs deserved so much more. Much like Kennedy Logan in True Confessions. Kennedy represents a myriad of women who have a heightened level of low self esteem due to many underlying factors. In True Confessions, simply stated, Kennedy loves the wrong man, Drake. She loves him more than she loves herself and he knows that, even thrives on that. I predict her story will make for lively candor at book club meetings as it speaks to many women who have been in or are still in her situation. Women need to take a step back and really look at themselves and ask the question. . . do I value my worth and all I bring to the table?
They are several factors that are clear indicators of low self-esteem. Do any of these speak to you? If so, what are you going to do about it?
Characteristics of Genuinely Low Self Esteem
1. Depression and/or bouts of sadness
2. Anxiety and emotional turmoil
3. Lack of social skills and self confidence
4. Less social conformity
5. Eating disorders
6. Inability to accept compliments
7. An inability to see yourself 'squarely' - to be fair to yourself
8. Accentuating the negative
9. Exaggerated concern over what you imagine other people think
10. Self neglect
11. Treating yourself badly but NOT other people
12. Worrying whether you have treated others badly
13. Reluctance to take on challenges
14. Reluctance to put yourself first or anywhere
15. Reluctance to trust your own opinion
16. Expecting little out of life for yourself
17. Social withdrawal

Zanu-PF: Mugabe 'had overstayed the hospitality of Zimbabweans'
November 22, 2017 Written by Admin
Zanu-PF has reportedly welcomed the resignation of President Robert Mugabe, saying that he had overstayed in his position as leader of the country.
According to the state-owned Herald newspaper, Zanu-PF spokesperson Simon Khaya Moyo said that Mugabe, 93, deserved a rest.
"The resignation of President Mugabe from office today (Tuesday) is a very welcome development," Moyo was quoted as saying.
"The writing was on the wall as evidenced by events of the last few days starting with the intervention by the Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF) and culminating in the impeachment process by Parliament which was to conclude latest tomorrow (today)."
"He had indeed overstayed the hospitality of the people of Zimbabwe. Worse still, he surrounded himself with people of criminal conduct, primitive and disrespectful attributes," Moyo said.
Moyo, however, said that Zimbabweans should acknowledge the nonagenarian's immense contribution to the development of the country before and after independence.
Mugabe resigned as president of Zimbabwe on Tuesday, ending a 37-year-old rule defined by brutality and economic collapse.
"I Robert Gabriel Mugabe in terms of section 96 of the constitution of Zimbabwe hereby formally tender my resignation… with immediate effect," said speaker Mudenda, reading the letter.

Bengals' Joe Mixon tears up 'disrespectful' NFL for playoff decision – New York Post
Sports News / By Ashley Cornell, email: [email protected] / January 20, 2023 January 20, 2023
The NFL has upset Joe Mixon again.
The Bengals running back wasn't happy when asked if the NFL is selling tickets to an AFC championship game on the neutral side on Wednesday.
"I mean, to be honest, it's disrespectful." Mixon told WCPO's Marshall Kramsky. "We're not worried about that. We have a game to play on Sunday, right? So you can't count us.
"We have a game to play on Sunday. All this stuff that doesn't mean st. We're going to go out there on Sunday and do whatever the hell we have to do to get that [win]then we will see what they are talking about."
Tickets to a potential AFC Championship game between the Chiefs and Bills in Atlanta went on sale Wednesday. The Chiefs host the Jaguars in Saturday's divisional round game. Should the Bengals or the Jaguars advance, the higher-seeded player would host the conference title game.
Bengals running back Joe Mixon wasn't happy when asked if the NFL is selling tickets for an AFC Championship game on the neutral side on Wednesday. Twitter

The Bengals face the Bills in Sunday's AFC Divisional Round playoff game — 20 days after their Week 17 matchup was abandoned in the first quarter and ultimately canceled after Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest on the field. Hamlin was discharged from the hospital and has been spending time with teammates while they make their playoff run.
Mixon's comments came after he previously expressed frustration with the NFL's handling of the playoff format. The running back was frustrated that the NFL decided that if the Bengals lost to the Ravens in Week 18, the AFC North Division would be decided by a coin toss. Cincinnati's victory in the Finals made the NFL's decision moot.

Last Friday, Mixon asked the NFL to pay his fine for a coin toss celebration during that Week 18 win.
The Bengals would again defeat the Ravens 24-17 in the wildcard round to set up the matchup with the Bills.


Mike Keenan was fired as coach of the Calgary Flames on Friday, almost a month after his team lost in the first round of the playoffs for a second straight year.
Keenan spent only two seasons with Calgary, and general manager Darryl Sutter said expectations were not met.
"Taking into consideration all factors affecting our season-ending result, we believe this is a necessary change required to allow our team to continue toward our objective of winning the Stanley Cup," Sutter said.
The Flames finished the regular season with 46 victories and 98 points, but they were ousted in the first round in six games by the Chicago Blackhawks.
Keenan has coached eight of the 30 teams in the league. He also has led Philadelphia, Chicago, the New York Rangers, St. Louis, Vancouver, Boston and Florida. He won the Stanley Cup in 1994 with the Rangers.
Two Canadiens undergo surgery: Montreal Canadiens forward Maxim Lapierre is expected to be ready for training camp in September after having ankle surgery.
Lapierre had the surgery Thursday after playing through pain for most of the season. The 24-year-old set career highs with 15 goals and 13 assists in 79 games during the season.
Defenseman Mathieu Schneider underwent arthroscopic surgery on his shoulder last week. The 39-year-old was injured April 4 against the Toronto Maple Leafs, forcing him to miss two regular-season games and two playoff games.

1 rescuer found alive after Russia coal mine explosion
Nov. 26 (UPI) — A rescuer at Russia's collapsed Listvyazhnaya coal mine who went missing was found alive Friday, an official said.
The rescuer was found as operations continued at the coal mine after 51 died in the mine explosion in the Belovsky District of Kuzbass on Thursday morning. Officials believe the explosion may have been caused by methane gas.
"Our rescuer, Alexander Zakovryashin, was found alive. I see this as a miracle. That is, this miracle was performed by our people," Emergencies Minister Alexander Chupriyan told TASS.
Chupriyan said mine rescuers would continue to work in the coal mine, conducting reconnaissance, taking samples and investigating the damage to the coal mine. They found Zakovryashin during similar work Friday.
Anatoly Seryshev, the acting head of the EMERCOM of Russia, and the regional governor Sergey Tsivilev met with relatives of the miners who died.
Chupriyan said it was necessary to determine the dynamics inside the mine, including taking air samples to determine whether there is a continued threat of an explosion or not.
The victims of the coal mine explosion suffocated from carbon monoxide, the official said.
The regional prosecutor has begun an inquiry on whether labor and industrial safety laws were followed while a government investigative arm has launched a criminal case, the agency reported.
Forty-three miners have been hospitalized with four of them listed in serious condition. Reports of fire and an explosion in the mine's airway reached Russia's Federal Service for Environmental Technological and Nuclear Supervision at around 9 a.m. local time.

A fun cultural activity to do while in Japan.
If you are looking for an autumn color spot in Japan, Sendai is a great choice.
These are stories from people throughout my travels.
There is no denying that Kyoto is a great place for a travel destination, but here are just so many darn people out there.
Here's to another Unique Japan destination.
I just thought that I should start the journey to 500 with something … golden.

"Peggy For You" at the Hampstead Theatre
Alan Plater's 1999 play tackles two subjects. As a day in the life of theatrical legend Margaret Ramsay, it's about a formidable and fascinating woman. And Peggy For You is also a play about plays. This strong revival, carefully directed by Richard Wilson, gives both topics their due: both are interesting but I'll admit to preferring one far more than the other.
Both Plater and Peggy have plenty to say about plays. And Art with a capital A. Tricks and techniques of the trade are plentiful, some of them are funny (even for those of us who don't work in the theatre). But the insights are heavy handed. It's hard not to make this subject feel rarified. Meta-theatrical moments are clumsy.
Plater shows us three ages of the playwright. There's the newcomer, the man of the moment and a former most-promising but now out of fashion. Trouble is, it feels all these descriptions should have a capital letter. The characters are well played by Josh Finan, Jos Vantyler and Trevor Fox. But each role is slim. Only Fox's old-timer has much to say or do.
Plater suggests there is a high price to pay for plays yet doesn't explore this idea enough. Another author kills himself. But this offstage character isn't vivid enough to have much impact. What interests is Peggy's cold reaction to the death. Indeed, all the way through the play, it's Peggy who interests most.
A great source of anecdotes and one-liners, Plater gives a wonderful depiction of his own agent. Explicit that the play is "a pack of lies", the strategy aims at creating a portrait close to the truth. His Peggy is complex and entertaining, the depiction cleverly affectionate while acknowledging her many faults.
Taking this starring role, Tamsin Greig's performance is phenomenal. It would be all too easy to exaggerate this larger than life woman. Greig, while always funny, shows incredible control. Volatile emotions and a sharp intellect are clear, imperiousness is balanced with vulnerability. Ramsay was a woman to watch and Greig mirrors this – the performance makes for compulsive viewing. A bully the wrong side of loveable eccentricity, a passion for danger gives the character edge. Does Peggy's commitment to the theatre excuse it all? No, but Peggy will choose a pub theatre over the National, and who doesn't admire that?

"The Tempest" at Shakespeare's Globe
17 November 2014 Edward Lukes	Leave a comment
Even if there's still a chill in the air, for theatre-lovers the summer starts with a trip to Shakespeare's Globe. The Theatre's 'Season of Plenty' begins with The Tempest, a difficult play that director Jeremy Herrin, confident in the venue's unusual power and his excellent cast, tackles with a light touch. It has been the fashion to subject the story of Prospero and his elaborate revenge on those who exiled him to a great deal of analysis. Herrin's focus is on the theme of reconciliation and the magic in the play comes to the fore.
There is little threat on this island – the machinations that landed Prospero there aren't given much attention. Instead, there's a lot of laughs, led by the drunkards Stephano and Trunculo (played by exuberant double act Sam Cox and Trevor Fox) – and even Caliban gets to join in the singing. Indeed, the island seems too homely, almost drab – its attraction is the detailed depiction of the relationship between Prospero and his daughter Miranda. Jessie Buckley is a revelation in the role, captivating and able enough to bring on her suitor Ferdinand (Joshua James) to some charming scenes of romance.
Colin Morgan as Ariel
The pace of the production is skilfully developed, with Colin Morgan's Ariel pivotal, injecting a spellbinding touch (in scenes of startlingly confident theatricality) and bringing home the play's concerns with freedom. Morgan is athletic and otherworldly, mellow rather than mischievous and played with an intelligent depth that builds up the fascinating relationship with his master Prospero: it is here that the understated quality of Herrin's production finds its power.
Only an actor as fine as Roger Allam, who takes on the central role, could make such a domesticated Prospero work. A model of clarity, Allam was born to play the Globe – he's worth the price of the ticket and then some. His nuanced performance as a former Duke can be commanding and his dour touches delight, but it is as a father, the man behind the magic, that he becomes magnificent. He enjoys his power to enchant with such glee that abandoning it has added pathos, but renounce it he does – in order to become more human and experience the freedom that entails.

CAR magazine's Top 12 Best Buys of 2019 revealed!
CAR magazine's distinguished annual Top 12 Best Buys were presented at a gala dinner in Johannesburg on Tuesday evening. Look out for our upcoming April 2019 issue for the full article and rationale behind each decision.
Only vehicles that the majority of the eight-member CAR editorial team has driven: We factor in the findings of road tests and driving impressions we've published up until this March issue. Don't see your favourite in the running? The CAR team might not have driven it yet, with a number of important vehicles (such as the new BMW 3 Series and the fresh Mercedes-Benz GLE) launching locally just too late to meet the deadline.
Ranges, not individual models: Except in the Budget and Performance Car segments, we consider an entire range, not merely one outstanding example. Also, remember that we measure cars against their direct rivals in their classes and then rule on their relative levels of excellence.
We consider all the facets: We look at package, personality, performance and, most importantly in the more value-led categories, price.
The bun fight … and then the vote: We set aside a day for the team to debate, argue and arm wrestle over the contestants. Then we draw up a list of six finalists per award and vote.

Q: Density function as Radon Nikodym derivative. Proving absolute continuity of pushforward measure Assume we have a probability space $(\Omega,\mathcal F,P)$, a measure space $(\mathbb R,\mathscr B,\lambda)$ and a $\mathcal F$-measurable function $X:\Omega\rightarrow \mathbb R$.
Then let $\mathcal G:=\sigma(X)$ be the smaller sigma algebra on which $X$ is measurable, clearly $\mathcal G\subseteq\mathcal F$.
Then define the image measure (distribution) of $X$ under $P$ as $$P(X^{-1}(B))$$for any $B\in\mathscr B$.
Then in order to apply the Radon-Nikodym theorem we need that
$$P(X^{-1})<<\lambda$$
so then one could claim that there exist a $\mathcal G$-measurable function
 $f\geq0$ such that $$P(X^{-1}(B))=\int_Bfd\lambda$$
I am trying to see in which cases it holds that
$$P(X^{-1})<<\lambda$$
Suppose $B=\{x\}$ for some $x\in\mathbb R$, and assume furthermore that $X=x$ is a constant random variable (or you can suppose that it takes a value of $x$ in a measurable interval of $\Omega$).
Then $\lambda(\{x\})=0$ but, $P(X^{-1}(x))=P(\Omega)=1$, and then we are not satisfying the condition.
So for instance if I have a random variable that has both, continuous and discrete parts, can I construct a density of its distribution?
Thanks in advance for any comment.


Welcome to the HiporCritical View Podcast, where I sometimes ramble and birdwalk my way to a point on issues that I have grayish & often conflicting views, on.
In this episode, I talk about Accountability & Integrity. *Trigger warning* I also discuss suicide. And yes, I cuss a lot in this one, as well.
I describe myself a bit and tell you what you might expect to hear from me, in future episodes. And yes, I cuss like a trucker.
